《Best Delinquent Wife s Order: Rise Again, Hubby》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Gu Anhao wobblily walked out of the bathroom and suddenly bumped into a tall figure. She was dizzy, and a cold, clean masculine scent channelled into her nose. She inexplicably began to lose control of her consciousness and instinctively got herself entangled with him. The man¡¯s arms mercilessly pushed her away but she wrapped her arms around him again with her sweet lips planted on his¡­ The man sensed unusual heat after touching her body, realizing that she had taken something that she should not have. Obviously, he should have rejected her kiss, but the extremely stubborn petite woman in his arms tugged on his lips with awkward clumsiness. Unbeknownst to her, his teeth were going to be knocked out by her lips. An act so simple and straightforward made it all the more alluring. He suddenly held the back of her head and deepened the kiss, aggressively seeking the tip of her tongue. In the midst of the flirtatious kiss, a student ID fell to the ground from Anhao¡¯s pocket. The man¡¯s sharp black eyes glimpsed on the contents of the student ID, and he instantly pushed her away like he was struck by a bolt of lightning. ¡®Gu Anhao. 19 years old. A High School, Year-3 student.¡¯ Anhao did not understand why she was suddenly pushed away and was about to pounce on him again, but the man¡¯s hand was firmly keeping her away from him. At the same time, Anhao also felt that the wine in her stomach was making her stomach churn even more. With her body leaning forward, she threw up with a groan¡ª ¡°Blurgh¡± While enduring her giddiness, her stomach felt much better instantly. She forced her eyes wide open and lowered her head, she first saw a pair of high-end handmade black leather shoes, which unfortunately were utterly covered in her vomit. She looked up again and glanced at his pair of high-quality expensive trousers, even his trouser legs were not spared by her vomit. Without realizing it, she could feel that the man¡¯s legs were slender, and his figure looked impressive. As her gaze slowly trailed up, she saw his white shirt that offset the outstandingly chiseled body of his, without giving the coat slung on his shoulder more than a glance, her eyes trailed even higher. In a flash, upon seeing the man¡¯s eyes being as cold as ice springs along with his slightly knitted eyebrows, Anhao roused from her drunkenness abruptly and apologized profusely. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry! I didn¡¯t mean it!¡± The man¡¯s good-looking thin lips were pursed on his expressionless face, while the stains on both his trousers and shoes seemed to keep him from moving his legs. Despite that, he was obviously a dignified man. Seeing that she was still a student, he finally tolerated this drunk girl who had come out of nowhere, only giving her a cold look before turning around to leave. Anhao remembered the charming kiss just now, and quickly reached out to grab his arm. ¡°Wait!¡± The man¡¯s figure seemed rather sluggish as he turned his head to look at her hands tightly wrapped around his arm. Even though he was dignified, there was a trace of disgust in his eyes that could not be concealed, and his clear, perfect voice was as chilly as autumn morning dews. ¡°Let go of me.¡± However, Anhao, feeling weak all over, could not help but lean on his arm as her body felt even hotter than it was. She instinctively shook his arm. ¡°Sir, I may have been drugged. Can you¡­ Blurgh¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, the man¡¯s considerably calm face instantly turned blue. Slowly lowering his head, he looked at the new stain the girl had made on his shirt, and his handsome complexion gradually turned from that of being blue to dark¡­ He did not have time to say anything as Anhao¡¯s eyes had turned black and she weakly fell into his arms. *** Headache. Anhao lifted her hands, she felt as if her head was about to explode. After opening her eyes in a blur, she hurriedly covered her eyes due to the bright glare and her fingers gradually separated a little. Upon adjusting to the light, she found herself sleeping in a luxurious and spacious clean room. And out of the corner of her eyes, she saw her bare arms. Feeling a chill run down her back, she sat up suddenly. She lowered her head and lifted the blanket, only to find a set of white undergarments on her body. Her head that had been hurting like hell at first instantly started firing up! She tried hard to recall what happened last night but could not remember anything. There seemed to be an unfamiliar man in that vague memory of hers. She vomited on him, and finally,¡­ she fell into the man¡¯s arms¡­ Anhao¡¯s face twitched visibly. Her first reaction was that she was lucky the man did not throw her aside onto the streets. Her second reaction was to suddenly clench her fists tight onto the blanket in a panic and anxiously look around the whole bedroom. ¡®Sh*t! All I did was vomit on him. I can¡¯t have possibly been raped as compensation for the ruined clothes?¡¯ While thinking and scolding from the bottom of her heart, she suddenly heard a door creaking open in this spacious room¡­ It seemed that the door of the other bedroom was being opened. Coming out from the room was the figure that she could vividly remember from last night. Anhao¡¯s eyes shifted and she stared directly at the man¡¯s face, recognizing that he was the man from last night, then she quickly extended her arm and pointed at him. As she was about to lash out, she suddenly saw that there was only a bathrobe on the man. She lowered her head again to look at the undergarments she was wearing, then she yelled while gritting her teeth in anger, ¡°Shameless! You animal!¡± Zuo Hancheng, who had just come out from another bedroom, seemed to have just noticed that the girl on the bed was already awake. He faintly glanced at her, and then directly went round the white bed in the bedroom. He went to the coffee table in front of the sofa by the window, picked up a file and briefly glanced at it. The man¡¯s every single move and action were very stunning. Anhao came to her senses and clutched onto the blanket with a tearful face, saying, ¡°How can there be someone like you? I just broke up with someone, and it never occurred to me that I would stumble upon such a drunken-mistake-like clich¨¦. How can you do this to me? You¡¯re way out of line¡­ ¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the file in his hand and heard the girl crying and howling drearily on the bed while holding onto the blanket. Being slightly baffled at her woeful lament, his brows furrowed. Glancing back at her, he finally opened his mouth, with his cold, quiet voice being a bit unfriendly, ¡°Who did you say you had a drunken mistake with? I¡¯m not that desperate.¡± With that said, he glanced at both her student ID and her over-the-top blonde curly wig that were thrown onto the bedside table. ¡°And I don¡¯t have such extreme taste.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s head snapped upward and she looked at him. Noticing barely a twitch of his eyebrows, he was apparently not bothered by her indignant act of defiance. After putting down the file, he merely glanced at her placidly before shifting his gaze. ¡°You vomited not only on my clothes last night, but also all over yourself. Your clothes were taken off by the hotel room staff.¡± Anhao felt relieved hearing that but her face turned dark after hearing the man¡¯s next words. ¡°I don¡¯t have the habit of collecting dirty stuff, and I would definitely not touch you. Don¡¯t flatter yourself nor blow your own trumpet.¡± ¡®What the hell! ¡®You¡¯re pissing me off!¡¯ Chapter 2 Chapter 2 She abruptly suppressed the impulse to throw the pillow at the man. After all, remembering that she had stained his clothes in the first place last night, he not only did not throw her out, but also gave her a room to stay. For a stranger, this was a considerably kind act. She chose to tolerate the man even though he appeared cold, distant, and outrageously obsessed over cleanliness. All of a sudden, a pleasant ringtone came from the phone. Zuo Hancheng took a glimpse at the incoming call displayed on his phone¡¯s screen. While expressionless, he picked up the call and walked to the next room to answer the call. With his figure disappearing in front of her eyes, Anhao finally had time to recall what had happened yesterday. The prince charming who she had secretly liked for many years got engaged. Feeling pathetically angry and hurt, she had dragged her besties to Enchanting Bar and got dead drunk¡­ She then suddenly received a call from Gu Shishi, a two-faced girl who appeared lovely and sweet but was actually despicable and deceitful, saying that she had something to give her. That object was related to her prince charming. Anhao was so drunk to the point where she was not herself and had lost all rationality. Without considering the authenticity of her words, she directly went to the place that both Gu Shishi and she had agreed to meet up¡ªA City Night Bar. Gu Shishi, who was disgusted by the smell of wine on her body once she got there, forced her to drink a glass of fruit juice, she then found an excuse to go to the bathroom. Anhao waited for Shishi for a long time, yet she did not return. Therefore, she wobbled to the washroom to find Gu Shishi, and then¡­ And then what happened afterwards¡­ She vaguely had a bit of an impression, yet she still could not remember it clearly! Nevertheless, she got lucky that the man really did not do anything to her! Otherwise, she would definitely tear Gu Shishi apart! She had been bullied and humiliated by the Gu family for so many years, and now they even resorted to nasty methods like drugging her! What she regretted even more was the fact that she had drunk too much last night and almost got herself into deep trouble! Anhao raised her hand and scratched her head. She irritatedly wrapped herself up and got out of bed, but she could not find her clothes in the bedroom. Recalling that she had stained her clothes last night, that neat freak must have called someone to dispose of them. As such, she had no choice but to go to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Then, she put on the bathrobe that was hung on the bathroom wall before hurrying out. As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she suddenly heard what seemed to be some kind of movement outside the bedroom door. Feeling uncertain, she swiftly looked toward the door. Suddenly, the door was pushed open by force with a loud bang. Then, Gu Shishi, along with her mother, Madam Gu, and some of her uncles and aunts from the Gu family, rushed into the room. ¡°Gu Anhao! You shameless trash!¡± ¡°What kind of things have you been learning! How dare you have a one-night stand with a guy before even graduating from high school!¡± Anhao¡¯s head was still throbbing due to her hangover. She saw the Gu family rushing in from the door, one after another, before scolding her right in the face. She then realized why Gu Shishi had drugged her last night. They saw the bathrobe on her body and her wane face, and immediately assumed that she was just getting up to take a bath after a long night of getting laid. Madam Gu, along with the uncles and aunts of the Gu family, with incredulous looks on their faces, scanned her from head to toe several times. The only person who stood up for Anhao when the Gu family had refused to adopt her was her second uncle. But now, he was pointing at her in distress. ¡°Anhao, you were such a pitiful young child. Five years ago, your dad was willing to bring you home, but I¡¯m sure he had no plans on adopting a shameless crazy girl like you! You have brought shame upon the Gu family! ¡± Gu Shishi chimed in with her uncle by her side, ¡°Uncle, I saw Gu Anhao and a man being all lovey-dovey by the roadside last night. I knew that she had to be up to something disgusting out there, and now I finally caught her red-handed!¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t even graduated from high school, and yet you are hanging out with these social miscreants all day long! Such an embarrassment!¡± ¡°No way the Gu family would have a child like you¡­ I shouldn¡¯t have let Tianming fetch you back home! You¡¯re the mayor¡¯s daughter after all, how could you be so shameless?!¡± Gu Shishi interjected, ¡°Did you think that my dad really wanted to bring her back home? As if it was not enough that her shameless mother seduced my dad, she even secretly gave birth to such a daughter. My dad didn¡¯t even plan to acknowledge her in the first place!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao wouldn¡¯t have entered this place if it weren¡¯t for her mother running to the Gu residence and making a commotion before finally dying by the stairs, practically using her death to force us to adopt this illegitimate girl!¡± Anhao was used to hearing these excruciatingly harsh words, and she did not look hurt by those words. Due to her own mistake of drinking too much, she actually believed Gu Shishi and all her nonsense, putting herself in this situation by walking into that bar. Luckily, she drank too much wine before going to the bar, causing her to be unable to stomach anything else for a while. She threw up not long after drinking that glass of fruit juice so the effects of those drugs were not that strong. However, Anhao then thought of Gu Shishi using such a despicable and conscienceless method to kick her out of the Gu residence! Did she plan to use the effects of the drugs to make her sleep with some random man out there? Or perhaps she had even arranged for someone to force her to get laid. Whereas what was unfolding right now was Gu Shishi¡¯s plan set in motion, intending to completely kick Gu Anhao out of the Gu residence in front of the Gu family today! Before this, Anhao had never thought that anyone would be this horrible. Even during the annual Spring Festival when she could only eat leftovers instead of hot dumplings and Tang Yuan! Even when she was discriminated against by those people. Whenever she returned to the Gu residence, Madam Gu would look at her with contempt and disdain. Even when the clothes Gu Shishi had gotten tired of wearing which would be stored away in an old bag before being thrown away instead of allowing Anhao to get a little ¡°benefit¡±! Even when both Madam Gu and Gu Shishi beat her up countless times for the past two years, the countless injuries she had sustained¡­ ¡°Uncles, look at her! Not even a single explanation coming out of her! That disgusting man who slept with her must still be hiding here!¡± Suddenly, Gu Shishi went toward her and was about to shove Anhao who was standing in front of the door. However, she was unable to push her as Anhao was standing there firmly. Enraged, she lifted her hand and wanted to slap Gu Anhao in the face. Anhao blocked her hand and pushed her away. ¡°Gu Shishi! We both know what is true and what is not so spare me your despicable tactics!¡± Upon seeing Gu Shishi being pushed and staggering backward, Madam Gu hurriedly went forward to support her daughter while cursing in retaliation, ¡°How dare you? We fed you, we gave you clothes to wear, we raised you! This is completely unreasonable!¡± Anhao scoffed, knowing that Gu Shishi could not be the only one who was behind all of this; Madam Gu must also have conspired with her as well. Since this was their careful planning, and now the ¡°evidence¡± was also placed in front of them, Anhao merely laughed with disapproval without even bothering to explain herself. ¡°Try me if you will. If you were to really push me to the point where I would want to attack Gu Shishi, then she would¡¯ve been beaten into a bloody pile of mess by now!¡± Chapter 3 Chapter 3 ¡°You!¡± Madam Gu knew that Anhao had recently learnt Taekwondo and she had rarely been returning to the Gu residence as of late, thus Madam Gu did not have much of a chance to find fault with her. At this time, seeing Anhao¡¯s devil-may-care attitude made her grit her teeth in anger. ¡°You haven¡¯t even graduated and you¡¯ve already slept with some man! He has ruined you and yet you¡¯re still acting so arrogantly! How shameful! I feel disgusted when talking to you!¡± Gu Shishi pointed her finger at Anhao all of a sudden. ¡°Which reminds me. Gu Anhao, you had the guts to sleep with some dirty man in such a nice and expensive hotel! Did you pay for it? The money you used was yours or the Gu family¡¯s? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed using the Gu family¡¯s money to fool around with men?¡± Anhao herself did not even have a clue which hotel she was staying in now. She was confused and panicky upon waking up just now; all she felt was that the room was spacious, and there were even two or three bedrooms in that suite. From the looks of it, it was at least a presidential suite of a 5-star or 6-star hotel. Upon hearing what Gu Shishi said, she looked down and glanced at the hotel logo embroidered on her bathrobe with gold thread. She was rather taken aback after looking at it. ¡®Where in the world did that man come from? I can¡¯t believe he brought me to such a luxurious hotel!¡¯ Seeing Anhao being slightly surprised, Gu Shishi stepped forward and pushed her away. Unguarded, Anhao was pushed one step back before she looked up, only to see Gu Shishi walking into the room with a swagger. ¡°Let me see who¡¯s the man who slept with you last night!¡± Of course, Anhao was not nervous since she did not do anything wrong. However, after thinking that it was a bad idea to put the man in the middle of all this, she moved forward and grabbed her wrist. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid?¡± Gu Shishi sneered and shook off her hand. ¡°I want to see what kind of rubbish you have found to have a one-night stand with you. I remember that the man¡¯s figure was quite good when I was watching from a distance! ¡± While saying so, Gu Shishi lowered her tone again and spoke in a whisper that only Anhao could hear, ¡°How¡¯s the present I gave you? You must have enjoyed yourself last night.¡± Anhao completely had no reaction toward her taunts. Gu Shishi was pissed after seeing that she not only looked unnerved and fearless, but also had a look of rebellion in her eyes. ¡°Gu Anhao, you dare stare at me? Try hitting me instead of using your eyes! Let¡¯s see whether Dad will continue to let you stay in the Gu family!¡± Knowing that Gu Shishi was taunting her, Anhao clenched her fists. That face of hers really made her feel agitated to the point where she wanted to tear her apart. Suddenly, a loud creak came from the bedroom door behind them. Anhao¡¯s face stiffened, she turned her head back and looked in shock at the man who was coming out. Gu Shishi was even more excited upon hearing the door inside being opened. Finally, coming out of the door was a slender, tall body. Contrary to how she imagined him to be, that man did not have a frivolous appearance of a miscreant. Instead, he was handsome like a god. His facial features were perfect and timeless, like he was carved by the ancient gods themselves. He appeared before everyone with such indifference. Gu Shishi looked at the man who was completely indescribable in utter disbelief before setting her sights on his bathrobe. Then, her small heart instantly shattered to pieces after looking at the exact same bathrobe that Anhao was wearing now. ¡°Who¡­ Who are you?¡± She had wanted to spew all sorts of trash at him, but after seeing him, she stiffly became rather courteous. This man¡¯s aura was truly more than meets the eye. Anhao herself was dazedly looking at the man and did not react in time. ¡®Why did he come out? Why did he come out?¡¯ In order to prevent not only the Gu family from discovering his existence, but also him from being involved in this mess, she could have driven them away. But alas, why on earth did he come out?! While Zuo Hancheng was talking about official business with his assistant on the phone, he suddenly heard the commotion and foul-mouthed clamoring outside the door, and proceeded to hang up his phone. He originally had no plans on listening in on this family¡¯s crap, but he was forced to listen to whatever they were saying due to him being stuck in the room. Zuo Hancheng assumed that it was just an exaggerated family drama on ethics and morality, but Gu Anhao, who was being humiliated by her family, did not try to explain herself. It was also a piece of cake for Zuo Hancheng to come to realize that the little girl was caught in the trap of these people even though he did not appreciate this kind of drama. Although Gu Anhao knew this perfectly well, she never retorted nor tried to explain herself. It was surprising to see that this little girl, who was just a high schooler, was able to control her temper and stand her ground while being bullied by her family. After coming out of the room, his gaze that fell on Anhao seemed to have traces of piqued interest. With her back facing them, she was still unmoved by force or persuasion of her so-called Gu family just now, but her face was laced with exhaustion and irritation. However, she also felt embarrassed and really wanted to hide in a hole for having dragged this man into this pit of a mess. At this time, Zuo Hancheng examined her carefully before coldly glancing at Gu Shishi. ¡°You must be a student too judging by your appearance. Is this how the self-respected Gu family is supposed to be? With words like ¡®one-night stand¡¯ and ¡®dirty man¡¯ coming out of your mouth the moment you enter the room?¡± Gu Shishi did not expect herself to be insulted by the man on Anhao¡¯s behalf. This person might look like a tough nut to crack, she still could not help but retort, ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Shishi!¡± All of a sudden, Madam Gu hurried over and grabbed Gu Shishi by the wrist. Then, she whispered after dragging her backward. ¡°Something seems off, don¡¯t say anything stupid.¡± After turning her head to look at Zuo Hancheng without rhyme or reason, Gu Shishi hesitated for a while before turning back to ask in a soft voice, ¡°Mom, who¡¯s this guy?¡± After all, Madam Gu was the wife of the mayor, and she had met countless dignitaries over the years. At one glance, she knew that the handsome man in front of her was no ordinary person even though he looked quite unfamiliar. He overheard their conversation in his room, yet he still walked out in a calm and composed manner and did not have a sense of awe even after knowing that they were the mayor¡¯s family members. Obviously, there was more to this man than meets the eye. Gu Shishi, who was being pulled to the door, was still feeling disgruntled, but after being stopped by her mother she kept her mouth shut. The second uncle, who had been standing in front of the door for a while, finally recognized the god in front of him. He then turned back and whispered in a soft voice after inhaling sharply, ¡°This person looks like Zuo Hancheng of Shengling Group.¡± The third uncle of the Gu family also took a closer look. ¡°Seems like he really is!¡± ¡°A few years ago, Shengling Group moved its corporate headquarters back to China from the United States for the vigorous development of domestic enterprise resources. This Zuo Hancheng is the number one man in the commercial world, even the province can¡¯t hire him!¡± Chapter 4 Chapter 4 ¡°He controls all of A City¡¯s financial resources and commercial driving forces, and he rarely shows up in front of the media too. I saw him at a business administration summit a few months ago. He really does look like Zuo Hancheng¡­ ¡°No way Anhao would provoke such a person.¡± The third uncle looked at Madam Gu, who looked solemn as she had already sensed an anomaly in the situation, and immediately frowned. ¡°Sister-in-law, whether Anhao has something to do with this person or not, we must definitely not offend this Mr. Zuo. If we were to offend him, then it would be even harder for the Gu family to obtain high political achievements in A City for the next few years.¡± They were standing a bit far away from the front door and were muttering indistinctly, Anhao did not care about what they were talking about. She merely stared at the man who came out of the room. He looked at her instantly after calmly looking at those people in front of the door. ¡°You¡¯re Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter?¡± Anhao¡¯s face tightened. Since five years ago, everyone had been envious that she was the mayor¡¯s daughter. But for her, she knew exactly how shameful this identity was. Therefore, she glared at the man, instinctively feeling that the man was mocking her. ¡°It does not matter whether it is true or not.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re suffering so much from being in this family, you wanna pull yourself out from it?¡± the man said in a placid yet pleasant voice. Upon hearing those words, she had intended to leave that place from the beginning as that was never her home. As for those people whispering indistinctly behind her, she had always been an outsider to the family. As such, she looked up at the man in front of her like she was being possessed. ¡°Of course I want to.¡± After saying these five words, Anhao came to her senses and realized that it was something that had nothing to do with him. Slightly raising his eyebrows, Zuo Hancheng gently looked at her. ¡°And how do you plan to do so?¡± Anhao thought that the man was merely comforting just because she looked pitiful so she did not think much of it. She shrugged and said helplessly without hesitation, ¡°Any method is fine, as long as I don¡¯t make myself look too bad.¡± ¡°Good girl.¡± No one expected the man in front to stretch out his hand all of a sudden and touch her head. Then, he directly pulled Anhao into his arms when she was not paying attention. When she collided staggeringly into his arms unguarded, Anhao¡¯s body stiffened for a moment. She sensed that the powerful five fingertips of his hand, placed behind her back, were pressing her onto his body. Above her head, the man spoke with a voice that everyone in the room could hear, ¡°Since all of you are Anhao¡¯s family members, then I¡¯ll personally spill the beans here. I had planned to propose to her when she reaches twenty years old. If you all disagree, I can make adjustments to that. I can get married to her today itself, as my responsibility toward her.¡± The faces of both the uncles of the Gu family suddenly turned pale. Madam Gu frowned inconspicuously too. ¡®How could such a famous person be involved with Gu Anhao. I originally arranged this trap to kick Anhao out of the Gu family. Instead, it became an embrace from Zuo Hancheng.¡¯ She had also heard of this Zuo Hancheng before. Not only did he have power over the famous noblemen of A City, but he was also the business weight of the central coastal area in the entire province, let alone A City itself. If Anhao were to go with such a person who was able to take control of the economic development of countless provinces overnight, then Gu Anhao¡¯s future life would be unparallel to Shishi¡¯s. ¡®The illegitimate daughter of a mistress, a shameless and despicable child born out of wedlock! How are they suitable for each other!¡¯ The Gu family was entirely flabbergasted and tongue-tied. Anhao looked up at him in surprise, before she could say anything, the man bent down and asked in a voice that only she could hear, ¡°How long will it take for you to reach twenty years old?¡± Feeling completely blank and a bit confused, Anhao replied softly, ¡°I, I¡¯ll be officially twenty years old after celebrating my birthday in five months¡¯ time¡­¡± Seeing the man¡¯s eyes looking a bit uncertain, she explained instinctively, ¡°I was forced to drop out of school for a year due to some affairs between my mother and the Gu family. The moment I resumed my studies, my classmates were already one year younger than me¡­ ¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s a piece of cake, since it¡¯s only five months away.¡± Zuo Hancheng lightly patted her on the back. ¡°Come with me, little one, if you do, you won¡¯t embarrass yourself and also get your wish of leaving the family. Do you wanna marry me?¡± Anhao was utterly clueless about what brought about this sudden change in events, and asked herself, ¡®There¡¯s nothing attractive about me besides having the virtue of having the title as the mayor¡¯s daughter.¡¯ However, just because of that very title, she had no other qualms whatsoever. Also, he would not be able to gain any advantages from her, the worst case scenario would surely not be as bad as what was happening right now. As such, without much hesitation nor processing all the information properly, she nodded after a few seconds. ¡°Alright.¡± After all, she was behaving exactly like how a nineteen-year-old would, spirited and hasty, no matter how intellectual and rational she was. After turning back to witness the flabbergasted expressions of those Gu family members, she gave him a firm nod. ¡°I will marry you!¡± With these four words being loud and clear, her uncles hurriedly said, ¡°Now, wait a minute! Anhao, don¡¯t you¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted them in a timely manner, ¡°Since both of you don¡¯t like her staying in the Gu residence, I¡¯ll take her with me. Not only do you get your wish, I also get to take this beautiful woman home. We can see it as killing two birds with one stone.¡± Anhao was clueless as to why Madam Gu was so furious all of a sudden after seeing her holding back her rage. But deep down, she was a little giddy over the prospect of leaving the Gu residence. ¡°Yeah! You all came to catch me red-handed just so you can force me to leave, am I right? Now, I can leave after I have married someone! From now on, the ship has sailed. And you are no longer responsible for me anymore. It¡¯s better this way!¡± ¡°Mom, say something! Look how arrogant Gu Anhao is!¡± Gu Shishi shook Madam Gu¡¯s arm while still failing to understand what was going on. Madam Gu whispered, ¡°You¡¯re supposed to be in charge of arranging a miscreant for her. Where the hell did you get this person from? How the hell am I supposed to fix this? There¡¯ll be nothing for me to laugh about for the rest of my life if the little b*tch and this man are really married.¡± Gu Shishi froze. ¡°This man may look handsome, but it¡¯s unlikely that¡­¡± ¡°Did you not hear what your uncles just said? He is Zuo Hancheng, the International CEO of Shengling Group!¡± Madam Gu said while gritting her teeth. After taking a long time to make sense of what had transpired in front of her, Gu Shishi felt stunned. ¡°Shengling Group?¡± Shengling Group was not only one of China¡¯s best transnational enterprises, but also featured on the Top 5 of the Forbes World Rankings. Even children would know such a general knowledge. ¡®The CEO of Shengling Group! That means¡­¡¯ Chapter 5 Chapter 5 All of a sudden, Gu Shishi turned to look at that man. She would never let Gu Anhao achieve her goal, whether that man was in a relationship with Anhao or not. She stepped forward. ¡°Wait a second. I think this must be some kind of a mistake. After all, Gu Anhao¡¯s my younger sister, and we¡¯re just here today to help change the errors of her ways so she won¡¯t go astray. And you know what? Anhao never did well in school¡­ ¡± Gu Shishi, under the cold glare of the man, quickly changed the subject after feeling intimidated for no reason. ¡°What I meant was, was that my sister, Anhao¡­¡± ¡°The Gu family has a reputation in A City too, so I advise all of you to better mind your words and attitude.¡± Zuo Hancheng softly spoke in an indifferent manner, ¡°Since matters have already reached this point, I have no choice but to get Anhao out of this mess. Since Anhao has already agreed to marry me, there¡¯s no need for all of you to be here telling her what to do.¡± He gently patted Anhao¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Do you have your credentials?¡± With a tiny spark of excitement within her, Anhao nodded. ¡°Yup.¡± Five years ago, Madam Gu stubbornly refused to put Anhao¡¯s name into the Gu family household registration when they adopted her. However, she agreed upon learning that her stay with them was temporary. As a result, Anhao had her very own stand-alone household registration book. Madam Gu frowned and said, ¡°Gu Anhao, you better think this through. You¡¯re a daughter of the Gu family, are you sure you want to simply marry a stranger just like that?¡± ¡°What does it matter to you what I do? You all hope that the sooner I get out of the Gu family, the better! Am I right?¡± Anhao glanced at her in a cold manner. She had never felt so good, witnessing Madam Gu being this furious, along with Gu Shishi¡¯s anxious and frustrated look. Then, she whispered after courageously tugging at the man¡¯s sleeve, ¡°How do we get married? Let¡¯s get to it now!¡± Zuo Hancheng saw the little girl¡¯s pride and persistence despite mixing up her passion and the concept of marriage. He gave a slight smile. ¡°We¡¯ll go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs.¡± *** Several days later. Due to the man doing all the talking on her behalf, Anhao could not remember how impulsive she was on that day anymore. She took the initiative to go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs with him to register their marriage not only because of his suggestion, but also because of the regret and fury that both Madam Gu and Gu Shishi were somehow displaying. Feeling distressed, she slammed her head against the table upon looking at the small red marriage passport. She actually got married to a stranger who she had just met once. And she knew nothing about him other than his name being Zuo Hancheng! After that happened, he vanished without a trace as he had to go on a business trip overseas. All he left her was his private phone number. She was only nineteen years old, but she got herself involved in a marriage without rhyme or reason! And she even had no clue who exactly her newly-wedded husband was! ¡®What if he¡¯s a top drug lord? What if he¡¯s a human trafficker?! ¡®Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!¡¯ Wishing that she could knock herself unconscious, Anhao continued banging the tabletop with her head! One month later. Anhao was about to forget the fact that she had transformed from a high schooler into a ¡°married high schooler¡±. Until she caused one hell of a mess due to her boldly doing something in Enchanting Bar¡­ *** The conference room at the top floor of Shenling Group was silent at first, until the sound of a phone vibrating came all of a sudden. Without taking it seriously, everyone continued to listen to the report from the Planning Department. No one did, until the CEO sitting in front abruptly picked up the phone on the table. Despite being highly principled, this was the first time Mr. Zuo had unprecedentedly answered a phone call while in the middle of a meeting upon noticing the caller ID. ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Hello, this is the police station. Are you Gu Anhao¡¯s guardian?¡± Zuo Hancheng slightly raised his cold-looking eyebrows. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Two of her classmates were badly beaten by Gu Anhao herself, and their parents made a police report just now. Since this is about resolving a dispute between students, it is compulsory for parents from both sides to come to the station. As such, we hope that you can cooperate with us.¡± After staying mum for a short while, he replied in a low voice, ¡°Let her answer the phone.¡± The policeman on the phone was stunned for a while. This man¡¯s tone was not too strict and commanding, but upon hearing his cold yet exalted voice, the policeman consciously returned the phone to the little girl in front of him immediately without saying anything else. Anhao already felt a tingling sense on her head once she reached for her phone, she did not think that the honest policeman would really call Mr. Zuo. ¡°Hello?¡± She turned and walked outside, her voice was soft and she really had no idea what to say. She even refused to believe that a policeman would become the middleman of the first phone call between her and her newly-wedded husband. After calming herself down, she braved it out and said, ¡°Are you free tomorrow?¡± While the important content of Shengling Group¡¯s new quarterly plans was displayed on the giant screen in the conference room, Zuo Hancheng spoke in a light tone upon hearing the little girl¡¯s voice that sounded a bit unusual, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°You heard them just now, and you can already guess that the Gu family will never come to meddle in this on my behalf. But, I¡¯m unable to get out of this if my parents don¡¯t show up, not to mention being expelled from A High School. So¡­ would you mind¡­ coming to help me fix this¡­?¡± It was really embarrassing and shameful for her to request that a person who she had met only once come to this sensitive place, not only that, this person was her newly-wedded husband! He was obviously a bit shocked too, but he replied after being silent for a moment. ¡°Okay.¡± Originally just taking her chances, Anhao did not think that Mr. Zuo would agree to the matter she had no high hopes in the first place. Zuo Hancheng signaled for the others to be silent while signing the plan documents his assistant handed over. Then, he finally realized that he had just made a promise to do such an absurd, weird thing for his newly-wedded wife. After keeping quiet for a while, he signaled for the meeting to resume while asking the little girl over the phone at the same time, ¡°What time tomorrow?¡± ¡°They said the latest is before tomorrow afternoon.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± *** Two hours later, as Anhao had just returned to the school dormitory, she heard several aunts, who took care of the dorm, gossiping with the door half-closed on the first floor. She went to eavesdrop on them upon hearing them mentioning her own name. ¡°Have you heard? Gu Anhao attacked the Xu family¡¯s two beloved sons and was directly taken to the police station today!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t believe that this wild child is actually the daughter of Mayor Gu Tianming! God must be blind when reincarnating this ridiculous person in the first place!¡± ¡°But I also find it rather weird. Why is no one responsible for her wellbeing when she¡¯s none other than the mayor¡¯s daughter? I¡¯ve never seen her parents show up in these three years¡¯ time.¡± Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Anhao turned a deaf ear upon hearing these words and headed back to her room. There was no way the Gu family would come and settle this for her as they itched to make a clean break with her. *** The next day, afternoon. Anhao was actually unsure whether Zuo Hancheng would come or not. Despite sitting in the classroom to stall for time as she did not want to go to the police station, she was at last being escorted there by a police car. The two boys who she attacked and their parents were present at the police station, along with the principal of A High School. The parents of the Xu family were renowned real estate developers in A City, while their relatives worked in the government sector as high officials. All of them were not only of high authority, but also famous on both sides of business administration. Even the Public Security Bureau would not dare mess with them, let alone a small police station. ¡°Oh, this is the little girl who beat up my sons?¡± Mrs. Xu stood up immediately upon seeing Gu Anhao walking in. ¡°Mrs. Xu!¡± After stepping forward, the principal smiled apologetically. ¡°As you all know, Mayor Gu, who is also Gu Anhao¡¯s father, is currently too occupied to take care of this. So, it¡¯s best for us to resolve this privately. Just treat it as we¡¯re doing this for Mayor Gu and not involve the police.¡± Mrs. Xu sneered. ¡°Well, I heard that neither of Gu Anhao¡¯s parents has ever shown up the past three years despite the fact that she¡¯s part of the Gu family as the information here suggests. This wild child here who came out of nowhere probably swindled and impersonated her identity as the daughter of a mayor just to bring down A High School.¡± Anhao impatiently looked up without needing to give an explanation. ¡°I really am a wild child. So, what the hell are you gonna do to me, huh?¡± Mrs. Xu charged toward Anhao and firmly poked her forehead with her finger. ¡°Just who the hell do you think you are? How dare you impersonate a mayor¡¯s daughter to study at A High School?¡± Anhao was suppressing the impulse to punch Mrs. Xu in the face without saying a word while clenching her fists in her school uniform pockets. She accepted her fate of being bullied by these people here, as long as she did not have to return to the Gu family and ask for their help. Mrs. Xu immediately wanted to slap her in the face after seeing this little girl neither being apologetic nor intending to surrender. As she had just lifted her hand, the expressions of the two policemen standing next to her suddenly changed at that moment. Everyone glanced abruptly at the door just as a cold voice rang from behind Anhao. ¡°In the practices of criminal justice, acquittals are rather rare, do you all plan to be one of the few rare cases?¡± Mrs. Xu froze for a moment upon hearing that voice. Then, she proceeded to look up at the man who had walked into the interrogation room. Due to the man¡¯s cold voice, Anhao also subconsciously turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng entering the room in a calm manner, much to her surprise, as she did not think that he would really come. She was even more dumbstruck upon seeing two judicial policemen enter the room from behind him. Mrs. Xu felt that the man looked a bit unfamiliar to her. As she was about to ask him who he was, the gasping sound from behind her startled her, stopping her from doing so. Mrs. Xu then turned back and saw her husband walking up to him after getting up in astonishment. ¡°Mr. Zuo, what brings you here?¡± Anhao was extremely clueless as to what had transpired around her. As that middle-aged female thug, Mrs. Xu, was about to slap Anhao, the man who suddenly fell from the sky pulled her toward him. Zuo Hancheng only moved his handsome eyebrows and glanced back at them with an instantly motionless look after taking a glimpse at the little girl who got her school uniform on inside-out. ¡°Mr. Xu, it¡¯s an honor.¡± ¡°Please, the honor is mine!¡± He was even more shocked and terrified seeing Zuo Hancheng compared to when he saw Mayor Gu, Mr. Xu suddenly had a complete change in his attitude. And by the time he saw Zuo Hancheng taking Anhao, who was utterly incompatible to him, to his side in a protective manner, he asked in surprise, ¡°Mr. Zuo, what¡­ what¡¯s going on here? And what does this Gu¡­ this¡­ this female student has anything to do with you?¡± Anhao¡¯s body immediately became somewhat stiff after Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her shoulder. Yet, she did not dare to act rashly, she merely secretly looked up at the man next to her. He really came. Strictly speaking, both he and she were still strangers. However, she was surprised and also grateful when he managed to make it. ¡°I thought that you wanted to see Gu Anhao¡¯s parents.¡± Zuo Hancheng said in a soft voice. At this moment, the principal finally came to his senses, there were not many people named Zuo in this vast A City that people would treat with such care. He finally realized that the man with an extraordinary aura in front must be the legendary person in A City who no one would ever dare mess with. Then, the principal quickly stepped forward upon realizing this. ¡°Then you must be Gu Anhao¡¯s guardian, Mr. Zuo.¡± Anhao had almost become petrified at this moment. She felt that her head was tingling and numb the moment the man next to her lightly swept his eyes across her face. The next thing she knew, there was a smile within his calm voice. ¡°You can say that.¡± Of course it could be said that a newly-wedded husband would be counted as a guardian. Anhao was a little lost. What Mr. Zuo? Who the hell was Mr. Zuo anyway? And who in the world did she carelessly marry a month ago? Mr. Xu¡¯s legs turned to jelly upon hearing his answer. And by the time he attempted to lighten the mood, he froze the moment he heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s next words. ¡°Since you all plan on taking a judicial approach to the incident of Anhao causing harm to somebody, then may I know the results of the injury evaluation report? Minor injury? Serious injury? Death infliction?¡± The injuries of both Mrs. Xu¡¯s sons were actually not that serious, she turned pale for a while upon hearing this. Originally planning to teach this girl a lesson, they conspired with an acquaintance to create an injury evaluation report labeled ¡®serious¡¯. However, when she saw her husband being friendly and astonished in front of Mr. Zuo, upon fearing that their scheme might blow up in their faces, she did not dare to take out the fake report. At this moment, Anhao realized why Zuo Hancheng was late. He probably got to the bottom of this matter before even coming here. Then, she directly turned to him and whispered, ¡°You already knew everything before you came?¡± Slightly narrowing his black eyes, Zuo Hancheng looked down at her. ¡°If I didn¡¯t get to the bottom of this, I wouldn¡¯t have known that you almost made them the last of their family line.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡®Last of their family line, he¡¯s way more ruthless than me!¡¯ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice might not be loud, but everyone in the room could hear these words of his. Mr. Xu did not dare retort either upon hearing that Zuo Hancheng was not too pleased seeing Mrs. Xu putting Anhao in a pickle on purpose just now. Mr. Xu stepped forward while smiling apologetically. ¡°This¡­ Mr. Zuo, we heard that Gu Anhao has committed countless wrongdoings in A High School despite the fact that our children¡¯s injuries are considerably not too serious, not to mention our two sons here were not the only ones she beat up. So, we just wanted to teach her a lesson¡­ ¡± Anhao then immediately blurted out, ¡°Then ask your sons why the hell I beat them up, for God¡¯s sake!¡± Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Upon hearing such words from Gu Anhao who had never once explained herself the whole time, the two sons of the Xu family jumped up and shouted, ¡°Gu Anhao, we¡¯ve never met such a shameless crazy girl like you!¡± ¡°They took Hanru to Enchanting Bar and forced her to get drunk. As they attempted to rape her in the private room there, I attacked them before they could!¡± Anhao said. ¡°Hanru?¡± The headmaster was surprised. ¡°You mean the Year-3 girl with the highest grades?¡± The eldest son of the Xu family interjected in a hurry, ¡°Bullsh*t! Why don¡¯t you call Hanru over? She can be a witness to that incident and prove our innocence!¡± The President of Academic Affairs beside them who had tagged along remarked, ¡°It was Hanru¡¯s birthday that day, which was why she didn¡¯t stay in her dormitory bedroom that night. She had no clue about whatever happened when I asked her whether she was involved in this incident or not. She only went to her uncle¡¯s house to celebrate her birthday so she didn¡¯t return to the dorm. Therefore, she did not go to the bar, nor did she hang out with the three male students.¡± Anhao let out a sardonic laugh upon seeing both the satisfied faces of the two sons of the Xu family. ¡°There¡¯s no way that the academically-outstanding white-lotus-like good girl would confess that she drank with these two little bastards in the bar, and there¡¯s absolutely no way she would confess that she almost got raped either. She still needs her scholarships and various awards in order to easily pass Huabei University¡¯s entrance exam and be sent to study overseas. ¡± ¡°You brat¡­¡± Mrs. Xu could not help but lash out at her, but immediately shut herself up again after receiving a cold look from the man beside her. While withholding her anger, she said, ¡°Anyway, you must face the consequences as beating people up is an offense!¡± ¡°Are you sure about that?¡± With a half-smile, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s motionless eyes looked at them. ¡°Stop it, that¡¯s enough!¡± Mr. Xu turned around in a moment¡¯s notice and angrily rebuked his wife behind him, ¡°Don¡¯t you think this is getting out of hand?¡± Mrs. Xu was being totally irrational as she just wanted to protect her sons. She prudently looked at Mr. Zuo after being reprimanded by her husband. She saw that his eyes were clear, and he was a little bit assertive even though he looked calm. The man was observing the entire situation despite not saying much. Being totally unable to confirm where this god came from, this kind of calm aura was way too steady and too non-negligible. Therefore, it was best to bear with it for a while. Feeling discontent, she still mumbled with a soft voice, ¡± I can¡¯t just let our sons be beaten in vain like that¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng looked indifferent and said, ¡°An hour ago, the police of the Municipal Public Security Bureau had already gone to the bar to obtain the surveillance video in the private room that night.¡± As Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and took the compact disc the judicial policeman handed over to him, Anhao looked back in shock. Then, he gave the disc to the other two policemen in the interrogation room. There was then a massive change in everything in the next few minutes. The scene that night was fully replayed in the surveillance footage. It was indeed those two boys who had taken Hanru to the bar and had drinks with her. Then, the two boys began to take off her clothes once she was drunk and had collapsed on the sofa. Gu Anhao appeared in the camera as she heard Hanru crying out, struggling to free herself after waking up. Hanru begged Gu Anhao for help while sitting up and holding onto Anhao¡¯s legs. She seemed to know what had transpired as Anhao directly headed for the two boys and beat them up. The two boys were so pissed off and proceeded to lash out at Anhao until Hanru unsteadily ran off while gathering her clothes. Whatever angry words they threw at Anhao were completely inaudible. Gu Anhao beat them up again after pushing and holding them down. Finally, she tortured them by stomping on their most sensitive part, twice, before fabulously walking out and leaving the bar. Both the parents of the Xu family looked ghastly pale now that the truth was right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. Mr. Xu saw that Gu Anhao was leaning against Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side the whole time, and he immediately knew that both this little girl and Zuo Hancheng had an extraordinary relationship. Then, he slapped his sons in their faces after turning around to them. ¡°You two little imbeciles! ¡°You bastards! Why didn¡¯t you tell the truth when you came home?¡± The clamoring in the interrogation room of the police station could be heard by everyone, but Zuo Hancheng, who withdrew his hand from Anhao¡¯s shoulder, stayed out of this and inadvertently said, ¡°Since those two children of yours are already eighteen, not to mention enough to face penal responsibility, then this crime of slander¡­ ¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo!¡± Mr. Xu rushed forward and tried to explain. ¡°This whole mess is caused by our unfilial sons, they are still young and don¡¯t know what they¡¯re doing. So please don¡¯t blame them nor be too hard on them, alright?¡± At this moment, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the specks of redness and bruises on Anhao¡¯s face and forehead caused by Mrs. Xu¡¯s jabbing and pinching. Although he did not say anything, Mr. Xu instantly realized what he was thinking and nervously offered Anhao an apology upon seeing the injuries on Anhao¡¯s face. ¡°Anhao, please be the bigger person and don¡¯t make a fuss about our sons, alright? I beg you and Mr. Zuo. Our sons are still young, their future will be ruined if they are given demerits or taken into custody.¡± ¡°It¡¯s your sons¡¯ futures that will be ruined, not mine!¡± Anhao wanted to completely humiliate them. ¡°Am I an animal or what? And what did you all say about me before this?¡± ¡°Anhao, I¡¯m here to apologize to you on behalf of our two children ¡­¡± Not wanting to look at them, Gu Anhao then turned to look at both the principal and the policemen who did not dare to say anything, and said in a sarcastic manner, ¡°Is this slapstick comedy over? Can I go now? Am I still suspended from school?¡± Feeling embarrassed, the principal said, ¡°Anhao, this is a misunderstanding¡­¡± Anhao threw a disdainful look at the principal before setting her sights on Zuo Hancheng. He seemed to have given Anhao the right to vent her anger so she said with a satisfied tone, ¡°Since they¡¯re the ones who chose to take the judicial approach and called the police, then I¡¯ll just leave it to the police as well. So whatever happens next is up to them, I¡¯m out.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. She thought that he would be thinking Anhao was making a mountain out of a molehill due to her unwillingness to forgive, instead he replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Anhao looked at him, slightly taken aback. Upon seeing that an imposing character like Zuo Hancheng would unexpectedly spoil such a little girl, the others were flabbergasted and silent out of fear as well. What was the Gu family or Gu Anhao¡¯s relationship with him? Without waiting for an answer, Zuo Hancheng held Gu Anhao¡¯s hand and walked out of the police station. At the parking lot. Anhao was astonished to see a black Bentley in front of her, she stood beside it before setting her sights on the tall, straight man who had just answered his phone, walking toward her. ¡°Get in.¡± Hearing his voice, Anhao pointed at the car in front of her in doubt. ¡°This one¡­?¡± Without saying a word, what Zuo Hancheng meant was pretty obvious as he slightly raised his elegant, good-looking eyebrows. Could it be the van next to it? Anhao turned around to look at the van and then back at that charming man. She could see that the Bentley was the only thing that matched his aura although she never questioned his identity like an idiot. Therefore, she opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 There was silence in the car, and this was the first time Anhao realized what it truly meant to be alone with him. Both of them never had the time to get to know each other due to the outrageous embarrassment and utter chaos last time. In addition, a stack of files within Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands was also the reason they had not driven off yet. And on top of the files was Gu Anhao¡¯s photo. In the photo, Anhao had a neat ear-length bob hair that was not dyed nor permed, snowy white skin, and a face the size of a palm. From the looks of it, she appeared way more obedient and tranquil¡ªelegant, neat, and tidy like the child of a beauty. In contrast, Anhao in the passenger seat right now still had her elegant bob hair, but her face looked quite flustered due to the small bruises Mrs. Xu had inflicted upon her. She still looked like a student in the present day. However, in comparison with that chaotic first encounter last month, she looked like a delinquent due to her deliberately wearing her school uniform inside out. Zuo Hancheng knew that this girl, who frequently went to the bar with an outrageous wig and a smart-looking outfit, and had collapsed into his arms while in a daze, was a rather wild girl underneath her elegant and clean appearance! Putting aside the fact that she currently looked quite pitiful¡­ ¡°The principal gave my files to you?¡± Feeling uneasy, Anhao asked Zuo Hancheng upon seeing him taking a look at her files. Those files were just her admission forms three years ago. Anhao was still able to keep calm upon seeing that no records of her past few years of outrageous misdeeds were on the forms. After reading a few pages of her admission forms, Zuo Hancheng put those files down while seemingly not intending to answer her question. ¡°So where do you wanna go?¡± The man¡¯s crisp and pleasant voice broke both the silence in the car and Anhao¡¯s crippling nervousness. Anhao turned to look at the man after regaining her senses. She was not quite clear about this man¡¯s identity, but she knew that he was assuredly more than meets the eye. Compared to the policemen the Xu family found, the judicial police who tagged along with Zuo Hancheng were actually the commissioners of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and were proven to be even more useful. At the same time, they all treated him respectfully and did not dare to mess with him. Anhao had never seen other people greet and flatter others besides that hypocritical father of hers, Gu Tianming, ¡°Actually, I did not want to trouble you yesterday, but those policemen forced me to. As such, I let them randomly find one of the contact numbers in my phone, in the end¡­¡± While saying so, she secretly glanced again at the emotionally detached man who was calmly looking at her. With her face turning hot for no reason, Anhao turned away to hide her awkwardness after staring at each other for a while. ¡°Anyway, thanks a lot! I need to go back to school.¡± After saying so, an embarrassing rumbling sound came from her stomach, causing Anhao to bite her lips. Wanting to vanish in front of the man immediately, her hand hurriedly reached for the car door. Just as she got hold of the lock, Zuo Hancheng suddenly locked all the doors in his car. She froze and turned back at the silent Zuo Hancheng who had already started his car engine. While frozen and not knowing exactly how to get along with this man, she heard him ask, ¡°How long have you not eaten anything?¡± To come to think of it, she had not eaten anything ever since yesterday afternoon, causing her to embarrass herself in front of the man. As such, she gave out an honest answer while touching her stomach, ¡°One day.¡± ¡°So, what do you wanna eat?¡± Anhao saw that he was driving into the high-speed traffic on the road and she knew that stopping the car was completely impossible at this time, nor getting out of it at will. ¡°Anything is fine.¡± What Anhao meant was that she just wanted to eat something, like a steamed bun. As such, Zuo Hancheng directly took her to a recently famous high-end restaurant in A City. It was probably due to the prosperous area of the city center being not too far from where they were now. While having their meal, Zuo Hancheng received a call from some foreign friends who seemingly wanted to meet up with him. However, Anhao was still finishing up her food without disturbing nor listening to whatever he was saying. Anhao went back inside the car, feeling even more relaxed after the meal. And she had not slept for the past two days due to the trouble she had with the police and the Xu family. Now that she was completely off the hook, she just wanted to hit the sack on a big comfortable bed and forget whatever transpired in the bar. Therefore, she directly covered her face with her school uniform in an attempt to avoid direct eye contact with Zuo Hancheng. With the car unknowingly having arrived at the entrance of A High School, Anhao woke up the moment the car stopped, and she looked out of the window with a bit of indifference. At the same time, she heard Zuo Hancheng say, ¡°Sleep early.¡± ¡°Alright, and I¡­ thank you for today too.¡± Anhao had no idea how she even got off the car. All in all, she was completely in a daze ever since Zuo Hancheng appeared today. Not to mention the fact that she still had no idea who her newly-wedded husband actually was, especially after the Bentley drove away in front of her. However, she knew that there was absolutely no way she would hit the jackpot in any circumstance. He probably might have some acquaintances in the police, which she assumed to be just a coincidence. Just as Anhao had gone through the school entrance, Chunchun crashed into her from out of nowhere. Chunchun was Anhao¡¯s best friend. ¡°Anhao? Where¡¯ve you been? I was worried sick about you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me! Problem solved!¡± Anhao grinned. ¡°I bet those two sweethearts surnamed Xu will be facing the music tonight. Makes me feel absolutely happy when I think about it.¡± ¡°Really? I guess you returned to the Gu family to find someone¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s excitement changed instantly the moment she heard about the Gu family. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you forgot that I¡¯d never return to the Gu family to ask for help!¡± Chunchun quickly changed the subject after seeing that Anhao looked rather murderous due to her mentioning the very thorn of her past. ¡°How about we do a few shots at the bar just to celebrate?¡± Feeling better again, Anhao turned around and walked out of the school with glee. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯ll be on me~¡± *** Enchanting Bar was where they often visited, and it was a place where Anhao earned extra income by selling alcohol every night. Not to mention the amount of commission for each and every bottle of alcohol was quite generous there. After directly opening a private room, they went wild until past 11 pm late at night. All of a sudden, the bar manager entered the room and was less than pleased seeing both girls so terribly drunk to the point of collapsing on the sofa. ¡°Hey, you two ladies! Tomorrow¡¯s the weekend. Don¡¯t tell me you forgot how busy this place is on Fridays, why did you drink so much? What¡¯s with you two? Do you plan on drinking and not working? Don¡¯t you wanna work here anymore?¡± Chunchun was unable to get up due to being terribly drunk, while Anhao looked up at him with her eyes squinted and blurred. ¡°We¡¯re not here to work tonight; we¡¯re here to spend quality time!¡± ¡°Spend quality time?! Hurry up and deliver five bottles of Louis XIII to a major client!¡± With a spark in her eyes, Anhao, who was already drunk to the point of being confused, immediately got up on her feet and held onto their manager¡¯s leg. ¡°Louis XIII?! Five bottles?! Seriously?!¡± Chapter 9 Chapter 9 The bar manager slapped Anhao¡¯s hand away. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯ve hit the jackpot today! The other girls are hoping that you¡¯d collapse from all the drinking so they can take your place! I wouldn¡¯t have given such good stuff to you had you not worked here for more than a year.¡± ¡°Alright, alright! I¡¯m on it, I¡¯m on it!¡± After nodding vigorously, Anhao wobblily ran to change into her usual work attire and put on a special smart wig in the restroom. She planned to earn that hefty sum before crashing for the night. Both the attire and wig she wore while working in the bar were actually unconventional fashion of this modern era. First, they fit in perfectly with the atmosphere of the bar. And second, most men nowadays favored lovely girls. Those perverts would never take advantage of her due to her adopting such a disguise which made her feel safe and secure. After that, she then asked her manager for the client¡¯s address. However, the bar manager said with a frown upon seeing her being terribly wobbly while walking, ¡°Look, I think it¡¯s best not to force yourself to do it. Look at how drunk you are now. What if¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that! That¡¯s five thousand dollars for five bottles of Louis XIII! Can¡¯t you see how awake I am now? I¡¯m even more awake now than ever!¡± Snatching the address written by her manager and making an OK sign, Anhao spoke while hiccupping. ¡°Just wait until I make my triumphant return with a huge stack of cash!¡± The bar manager helplessly covered his face. Usually, Gu Anhao was still considerably dependable. She might be terribly drunk, but she was always crafty and resourceful, so he was not worried that anything would happen to her. The bar manager then signaled for her to take her leave. Anhao stopped a taxi after excitedly heading out of the bar and traveled all the way to Deways Hotel. Despite being so drunk to the point where her vision was blurred, the amount of money she could make from delivering the bottles of alcohol was stuck in her head. *** Deways Hotel was one of A City¡¯s best 5-star hotels, and only politicians and people of high status in commercial circles were able to afford it. After getting out of the taxi, Anhao kissed the note containing the address while carrying those five bottles of cognac before proceeding to waddle her way inside. On the note were the words ¡®Room 1608 of Deways Hotel¡¯. She entered the elevator and pressed a number before closing her eyes. While waiting patiently for the elevator to reach her destination, she was trying hard to withhold the dizziness in her head. A while later, the elevator made its stop at the sixth floor, and she made her way out the moment the elevator door opened. As she struggled to open her drunkenly obscure eyes, she was searching for the door numbered 08 and finally found it. And then, she rang the doorbell. After pressing the doorbell for quite some time, someone finally opened the door. Anhao then proceeded to lift up the five bottles of cognac and professionally said with a pretty and seductive smile. ¡°Excuse me, Sir. Here¡¯s the alcohol¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao?¡± While walking out of the room, the man suddenly said her name with a somewhat cold and doubtful tone. Anhao was wide awake in shock, while her blurry vision suddenly turned crystal clear. It was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gloomy face that made her freeze the moment she took a closer look. ¡®Zuo Hancheng! You again!¡¯ Three hours ago, he sent her back to her school and patiently asked her to sleep early. The obedient-looking face she had while waving goodbye some time ago was completely in contrast with her currently astonished face. She looked like a dissolute escort from a nightclub, especially with her repelling thick makeup, the afro wig on her head, and her unconventional attire along with some heavy metal jewelry! ¡°Ah! Sorry, Sir. Wrong room.¡± Pretending to not know him, Anhao hurriedly took a big step back and was about to run off with the five bottles of cognac after turning around. ¡°Hold it right there!¡± Zuo Hancheng called out with a strict tone. Anhao paused and ground her teeth, she turned back and glared at him. ¡°For what? You¡¯ve seen me dressed like this before! Not to mention you were present in the bar a month ago¡­¡± ¡°Put down your stuff and come in.¡± His voice turned even stricter and irresistible as he was so pissed off upon taking a glimpse of her disguise. Anhao stared at him and then glanced at the numbers 608 on the door for the second time. It was at this moment, she realized that she went to another room instead of Room 1608. She never thought that she would be this unfortunate to run into Zuo Hancheng! ¡°No! I never expected that you¡¯d come here and have one night stand with whatever chick so late at night! And I really have no intention of disturbing you; I just stumbled upon your room by mistake!¡± Anhao randomly picked an excuse to avoid involving herself with him again and then began to skedaddle. Zuo Hancheng rolled his eyes. ¡°Gu Anhao, I won¡¯t say it a second time. Just get in here now if you don¡¯t wanna be sent back to Gu Residence.¡± Upon hearing these words, Anhao¡¯s feeling of seemingly being acupunctured was a bolt out of the blue. ¡®Gu Residence! Gu Residence! Can¡¯t believe this man is threatening me with the thorn of my past! How mean!¡¯ Unwillingly entering the room, Anhao saw a bearded foreigner who was wearing a neat formal suit. And beside him were some documents and a laptop. From the looks of it, both he and Zuo Hancheng were discussing about something in the middle of the night. Just as Anhao was walking into the room, the foreigner asked in inarticulate Mandarin the moment he saw that Mr. Zuo had brought a girl in, ¡°Mr. Zuo, this is¡­¡± ¡°My apologies, Michael. There¡¯re some private issues I have to take care of for the time being. So, how about you give the transnational cooperation agreement to my assistant first, or we reschedule our discussion to some other time?¡± Zuo Hancheng said after returning to the living room. Anhao was a bit clueless about the cooperation they were talking about, but the foreigner seemed to treat Zuo Hancheng with respect. Just then, he started to tidy up the things beside him. ¡°Very well then, we¡¯ll talk about it some other time. So, I¡¯ll leave you to it.¡± Anhao, who was standing beside Zuo Hancheng, tilted her head while watching the old foreigner. She planned to take advantage of the foreigner by letting him stay for a bit longer so that she could get herself out of this as soon as possible. As Anhao was about to say something, Zuo Hancheng suddenly gave her a warning sign. Damn! With just one glance, he knew exactly what she was attempting to do, despite the fact that she had not done anything yet! ¡®Is it possible that this man is actually my nemesis instead of an angel who descended from heaven and rescued me?¡¯ She never expected that she would come across such a person when she was muddle-headed and got married to him that time! The foreigner packed both his documents and laptop in a jiffy like he was afraid to delay whatever Zuo Hancheng was going to do and make him feel displeased. Anhao felt that something was not right the moment the foreigner politely bid them farewell and left the room, leaving only herself and Zuo Hancheng. She carefully put down the cognac bottles and secretly took a glance at Zuo Hancheng. In an attempt to prevent him from interrogating her, Anhao bought herself some time and said, ¡°It¡¯s late already, and you came all the way to the hotel just to party with a foreigner? I can¡¯t believe how strange the hobbies of rich people like you guys are!¡± Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Zuo Hancheng ignored her defiance upon hearing that this girl was trying to change the topic on purpose. He merely coldly set his sight on her ridiculous appearance and had a whiff of the heavy scent of alcohol on her body. ¡°I only left for three hours, and you went out for some shots?¡± Before this, Anhao was already drunk to the point of being almost unconscious. Now, her head was even dizzier because she risked her own life to deliver these bottles of cognac. She then waved her hand in front of her face, and said with a steady tone while shaking her head, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t! I swear to God!¡± ¡°Are you overestimating your IQ, or do you think that I have a weak sense of smell?¡± Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to get rid of her extremely unsightly wig, Anhao hurriedly stepped back and screamed before he reached her, ¡°Ahh! Don¡¯t touch me!¡± She even lashed out at him due to the side effects of the alcohol she had drunk, ¡°Me taking shots is none of your business! Just because you helped me during the day doesn¡¯t mean you have the right to control my life! Plus, I¡¯m just delivering alcohol right now, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m¡­ ¡± Anhao was so intoxicated and confused that she forgot the bottles of alcohol she had put down beside her. Stepping back while screaming, she tripped over the bottles in an instant. Therefore, she let out a gasp while stretching out her hands to grab at something. Just then, she let out a sigh of relief the moment Zuo Hancheng reached out to help her up. As he did so, he grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the bathroom without mercy. Anhao¡¯s consciousness was a bit messed up, and her head was hurting like hell. As she stumbled along while being dragged to the bathroom, she was still clueless as to where she was being taken. When she wanted to turn around and ask, she screamed when cold water was suddenly showered over her head. ¡°Ahh, ahh, ahh! Zuo Hancheng, what the hell are you doing?! Aaaaaahhhhh¡­¡± Then, he ripped off her wig while she was screaming in agony. The icy-cold water from the shower head washed away whatever she had all over her body in a ruthless manner. Anhao howled as the shower was causing her to have a mental breakdown, ¡°Pfff¡­ Let go of me! Ahh¡­ Cold, so cold!¡± ¡°Aaaaaahhhhhhh, you bastard¡ª¡± Finally, Anhao used up all her energy and weakly squatted down in the bathtub. With the cold shower having stopped at last, all her makeup was washed away and strands of her messy hair were stuck on her cheeks. She was completely awakened by the cold shower. Her aggrieved red eyes looked at the gentleman, that made her blush and feel bashful during the day, who suddenly turned into an imbecile that treated her in such a cruel way. ¡°Feeling awake now?¡± Anhao looked up at him upon hearing the man¡¯s cold and distant voice, and asked in a rather frightened and choked up voice, ¡°Why did you do that?¡± ¡°If you are, then take off all your messy clothes and wash away all your makeup before coming out.¡± Before walking out of the bathroom without turning back, Zuo Hancheng grabbed a towel on the side and threw it on her head. Now, Anhao was indeed sober, but her head was still hurting like hell. This man was literally a monster by forcing her to sober up! Gu Anhao would really be out of her mind if she were to listen to him. But now, her entire body was soaked through, and the makeup on her face was ruined. There was no way she would let people see her like this so she had no choice but to clean herself up. In the end, she took a shower in the bathroom while swallowing her anger, wiping the water off her body before putting on a bathrobe and going out. Suddenly, she sneezed twice the moment she got out of the bathroom. Her eyes then fell upon him and she grumbled while rubbing her nose, ¡°You better hope I don¡¯t catch a cold today, or I swear I¡¯ll kill you!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you better have a good reason for this.¡± Zuo Hancheng then threw the five bottles of alcohol into the rubbish bin. Upon hearing such a sound, Anhao suddenly felt that her poor heart had almost broken into pieces as she hurriedly rushed toward it. ¡°F*ck! How could you throw such expensive stuff away! Now, how the hell am I going to explain¡­¡± Without finishing her sentence, Anhao¡¯s face felt stiff all a sudden after Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her. The main problem right now was that she had been abused by this man! With both their eyes being caught in a deadlock, Anhao clenched her fists in secret, she could not even beat him in this silent cold war of theirs! After a short silence, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice coming from in front of her. ¡°Explain.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Why did you go to the bar again?¡± Anhao glared at him. ¡°Look, I requested for your help to get rid of the problem at the police station today so I won¡¯t mention the fact that you abused me just now; just treat it as me having returned you the favor.¡± She then turned around and proceeded to get the five bottles out of the rubbish bin. She resumed saying while heading toward it, ¡°However, you don¡¯t have to do anything for me! So that¡¯s all for today, alright? I¡¯m gonna go home and sleep once I deliver these bottles!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng kicked the rubbish bin beside him before she managed to get close to it. And her expression dramatically changed the moment she heard the sound of the bottles being shattered. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t you know how freaking expensive these bottles of alcohol are?! A bottle is worth more than ten thousand!¡± ¡°I can also pay a hundred thousand for it, so stop trying to change the topic! Gu Anhao, you¡¯re a student, but just look at what exactly you¡¯ve become now!¡± ¡°None of your f*cking business!¡± Anhao looked like she had literally blown up. ¡°After all these years, no one has ever cared about what I do! So why should you?!¡± ¡°Why should I?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked toward her. The man¡¯s aura was way too crisp and overbearing. Just as he was approaching her, Anhao instinctively wanted to evade his grasp before turning around, wanting to run. Zuo Hancheng then stopped her from attempting to make a scene and leave the room. ¡°You¡¯re only nineteen, and you have already given up on yourself?! If the Gu family doesn¡¯t care about you, then I will! From now on, you must dispose of all those crap!¡± Knowing that he was referring to both the outfit and wig she left in the bathroom, Anhao screamed in anger, ¡°Release me, Zuo Hancheng! You have no right to control me!¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Just as Anhao was about to turn around and run away after he let go of her, Zuo Hancheng said, ¡°Your father doesn¡¯t know that we¡¯re married. So, I¡¯m gonna have some discussions with him upon sending you back to Gu Residence in the morning.¡± The moment she regained her freedom, she suddenly stopped in her tracks for a long time. Then, she slowly turned around and looked at him. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Return to the Gu Residence, or be a good girl. The choice is yours.¡± No longer looking at that pissed off face she had on, he took the business magazine on the coffee table and started reading it in an unperturbed and elegant manner. Admitting defeat, Anhao spitefully stared at him without a word while standing on the very same spot without taking another step. ¡®If I had known that this man would treat me this badly, I would have rather died being beaten up than to have the cops call him! ¡®This is obviously domestic violence!¡¯ Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Forty minutes later. Anhao was standing in front of a huge mirror, changing from one set of clothes to another. Most of the clothes she tried on were suitable for young girls, and they ranged from skirts to casual wear¡­ Just as Anhao was so frustrated to the point of lashing out, she was finally liberated after trying out the last set of clothes and she walked out of the fitting room. As she stood outside the fitting room, she looked at the mirror and saw herself looking like a lady. This made her even more pissed off! However, upon thinking about Zuo Hancheng who was sitting outside, she suppressed the impulse to lash out at the salesperson who recommended these clothes to her. Then, she viciously glared at them before turning around and going out in anger. Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting at the lobby outside, saw Gu Anhao furiously walking out of the door. Anhao originally had a clean snowy-white face the size of a palm, and she normally would not wear makeup except when in the bar. Her hair was short, it was actually quite soft, graceful and delicate. From the looks of it, she would definitely be a gorgeous woman if she were to let her hair grow long. She was wearing a casual outfit that looked neat and suitable for students like her, with a cute pink short-sleeved T-shirt, a white student skirt that almost reached her knees, and a pair of white casual sports shoes. Overall, she was now without both the chaotic makeup and those strange pieces of jewelry she had obtained from the streets. Just like that, a fair, pretty and exuberant girl seemed to be coming out of a cocoon she had woven. It was just that the girl looked totally furious and unwilling. Zuo Hancheng looked quite satisfied with her overall look and walked toward her. ¡°I¡¯ve already changed my clothes. Can I go now?¡± Zuo Hancheng knew that Anhao would not behave like any normal kid would other than being unreasonably rebellious which included her wearing her school uniform inside-out and adopting her strange disguise. In addition, he understood that she deliberately transformed herself into an unsightly, indulgent, and dissolute bad girl. But after her disguise was completely stripped down, Anhao was wearing a set of clothes that fitted her age and style, becoming a girl who people never knew that she and the previous delinquent were actually one and the same. She was so pissed off to the point where her eyes had become bloodshot, but she swallowed it in front of him with her fists clenched. The girl¡¯s fingers were pale from all the force she was exerting. This defiance of hers caused his eyebrows to twitch before he picked up the blazer on the sofa and put it on her back. Due to the sudden warmth from the blazer that stunned her for a while, Anhao¡¯s mind went blank and Zuo Hancheng was already walking her out of the door. It was currently November, and the temperature at night was quite low despite the fact that A City was located at the center of a coastal city. Anhao could not help but shiver as she walked out of the mall. As Zuo Hancheng took her to his car, several salespeople put the packed-up clothes Anhao tried on just now into the boot. When they were inside, the man set the temperature so that the car was warm. But not Anhao¡¯s mood as she was staring at the man frostily. She vowed that today would be the first and final time she would be involved with this man, and would definitely not have any kind of association with him in the future! She became even more depressed the more she thought about it. Not wanting to be alone with him anymore, she wanted to get out of the car but found out that Zuo Hancheng had already locked the car doors the moment they entered. Could it be the drama of an angel turned animal attacking a delicate pretty girl that was about to unfold in this dead of night? Her imagination ran wild the more she thought about it. She felt that she had boarded a pirate ship today. Therefore, she quickly took out her phone and intended to call her bros to get them to save her. However, Zuo Hancheng snatched her phone away immediately and threw it into the glove compartment. Anhao froze and she lifted her head. ¡°What are you doing? Give me back my phone! I wanna go back to my school!¡± ¡°Your school dormitory is closed at this hour. How are you supposed to go back there? Scale the building? Jump out of the window?¡± ¡°¡­¡± With her sense of shame and indignance seen through by him, Anhao¡¯s eyelids tingled. ¡°Why do you care about how I¡¯m gonna go back? That¡¯s none of your business!¡± She now thought that Zuo Hancheng was like an animal that had no good intentions toward her. Mustering the courage to get up, she headed to the internal car lock beside the man and tried to pry it open. ¡°Gu Anhao, you still haven¡¯t figured out who you are yet.¡± She was unstable due to the way she leaned over with force. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng gripped her waist and she fell firmly into his arms. Instantly striking her nose was the fresh and pleasant fragrance on the man¡¯s body. At a moment¡¯s notice, the warm air in the car was filled with his unfamiliar and exclusive aura. By the time she felt that she was in his arms, Anhao stiffened. Then, she screamed and wanted to break free from his arms. His grip was obviously not too tight, but it was just enough to restrain all her struggling. Unable to muster her strength, she lifted her head in anger as she was being constrained in his arms, until her face was suddenly greeted by the handsome face approaching her. As her wide eyes were staring at his face that was in close range, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s other hand lifted her chin and forced her closer to him, causing her to have a mental breakdown. Then, she noticed that both their lips were getting closer and closer. ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± Anhao screamed upon realizing that he was not just fooling around, ¡°I¡¯m warning you! If you f¡­ Uh¡­¡± His soft and warm lips were sucking hers, stopping her from blurting out the swear words. With her thinking stopped for a moment, her eyes widened and she noticed a pair of black eyes that seemed to be able to envelop her like an abyss. Her heart was bouncing out of control, it was as if she could hear the sound of its violent beating. Zuo Hancheng let her go the moment she was completely dumbstruck. But then, he squinted his eyes in disbelief upon seeing the face of the girl in his arms that was very red, like she was utterly shocked. His fingers stroke her jaw and gently pinched her chin. ¡°Why do you look like your first kiss has just been taken from you? Are you trying to be pure and innocent? Weren¡¯t you the one who wrapped me up like an evil spirit in the bar last time? ¡± The thing was, the way she looked right now showed that she had never truly flirted with other men. Therefore, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes seemed to show a slight sense of surprise. Anhao covered her mouth the moment she regained her consciousness. With her eyes wide open, she loudly lashed out at him after putting down her hand. ¡°Zuo Hancheng! You animal!¡± And then, she attempted to free herself from his grasp again. She had practiced Taekwondo for five years, yet she was unable to muster her strength due to him gripping her in his arms like it was nothing. As such, she was so angry that she wanted to directly bite him. Just as she was about to finally swing her arm toward his face, he suddenly grabbed hold of her wrist. ¡°Do you still need me to remind you of who you are in a more direct way?¡± With her wrist being restrained, he could see an image of her baring her teeth within her dark pupils. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 In the midst of her struggle, it was at this moment Anhao noticed that she was straddling Zuo Hancheng. Right now, her wrists were restrained and she was in his arms, this kind of position made their relationship look even more intimate. She froze immediately and withdrew her hand with full force, releasing herself from his hold in anger. Lucky for her, Zuo Hancheng did not force her or do anything to her. Instead, he let her retreat to the passenger seat. Looking in the rearview mirror of the car, he appeared unaffected, and his clothes were still neat and unruffled even after going through Anhao¡¯s struggles. On the contrary, Anhao in the passenger seat, no longer had the unruly and frivolous manner she normally had, as she proceeded to tidy up her somewhat messy clothes. While strictly guarding herself against the man beside her who would really use a more direct treatment on her just as he had claimed. She hastily pulled that blazer of his and used it to cover her thighs. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word upon noticing her being on guard out of fear. Suddenly, he leaned over to her. By the time he was near her with a seemingly oppressive strength, Anhao retracted her neck quickly and leaned closer against the seat. She thought that she could finally escape from whatever troubles Gu family had in store for her when she decided to marry this stranger without hesitation a month ago. However, after getting married, the man vanished for a whole month. And now, this was their second time meeting each other. He not only tore down all her barriers and pretense, but also thought that it was time for her to fulfill the obligations of a wife. She originally thought that this was her way out, but she never thought that she would end up blocking all the possible ways out due to her impulse. Anhao nervously retracted her neck until a trifling sound could be heard by her ear. After that, she instantly opened her eyes and looked at the man who was helping her buckle up. Noticing that she was so afraid to the point where her face was pale, he caressed her head instead of teasing her again. ¡°You don¡¯t need to return to the dorm at this hour; I¡¯ll find somewhere else for you to sleep.¡± The gentle touch on her head made her trembling heart start to pace itself. The man backed off from her and put his hands on the steering wheel. She then carefully held tightly onto the blazer that was covering her knees. After looking at her seat belt, she looked at him from the corner of her eyes. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s slender fingers turned the steering wheel and his car headed into the traffic. Anhao thought that she was safe until she suddenly heard him faintly ask, ¡°Why the bar again? Still don¡¯t wanna explain?¡± ¡°None of¡­¡± Annoyed that he was being a busybody, she originally wanted to say ¡°None of your business¡±. However, she was afraid of what he would do to her due to their status as a married couple, Anhao muttered while withholding the humiliation, ¡°I always head to the bar to sell alcohol every night because pay and commission is quite generous there. ¡± There was a moment of silence for the man. She knew that people would be bewildered to see such a mayor¡¯s daughter actually reducing herself to selling alcohol in a bar. However, Zuo Hancheng did not pry as to why she would do so. With a crisp and strict voice, he said, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go there anymore.¡± Anhao was instantly pissed off and was unable to control her temper. Then, she turned and looked at him while sitting up straight. ¡°What is it to you?!¡± Since the car was driving on a road full of neon lights at full speed, the man fixed his eyes on the traffic ahead instead of her. ¡°I¡¯m your husband, and I have both the right and eligibility to guide your future decisions.¡± Anhao¡¯s face tingled. ¡°You want to guide me? Why¡­¡± Anhao was already so used to saying the three words ¡°Why would you¡±. However, Anhao knew why. Because he was her legal husband; because she made a mistake of marrying a stranger due to her fight with those psychopaths at Gu Residence. ¡®I wanna marry you!¡¯ After that, he vanished due to some urgent matter that day, which she still felt was better for her too. She not only managed to escape the Gu family, but also would not have the need to have a bond with a stranger nor let him disturb her own life. ¡®It¡¯s just a marriage certificate; it would never affect my life anyway. I killed three birds with one stone.¡¯ Who knew that after making an appearance today he would be so pompous so as to claim that he was going to tell her how to live her life. Anhao held back her words and took a deep breath. ¡°At the bar, I only sell alcohol, I don¡¯t sell myself. Plus, I¡¯m an adult now, and whatever I wanna do is none of your business. I bet there¡¯s no such rule in the law, right? So, why meddle in whatever job I do?¡± ¡°You¡¯re short of money?¡± ¡°¡­ Not really.¡± Anhao continued to hold her temper in. ¡°I have both the school fees and pocket money Gu Tianming gives me monthly in my bank account. Even though I don¡¯t get hundreds of thousands of pocket money that celebrities and rich people would give, I¡¯m still not short of money either.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not short of money, and yet you sell alcohol in the bar every night?¡± ¡°I like it, and I¡¯m willing to.¡± Anhao lifted her chin. ¡°Even without the monthly allowance Gu Tianming unwillingly volunteered to give me, I can still depend on the money I earn from selling alcohol to support myself until I get to study in a university.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say a word upon hearing the indifference and disobedience of this girl, which reminded him of the way the so-called Gu family treated her. Anhao gave out a satisfied snort, thinking that he had lost in the argument. Upon sending her back to Enchanting Bar, Zuo Hancheng let her take her school bag and all her stuff. Then, she took the time to call Chunchun on the phone. Upon realizing that Chunchun had opened a random room in the bar to stay in after being sober, she took her things with relief. *** Going into a high-end estate, the car stopped in front of an independent duplex house. Anhao had a look at the surroundings through the car window and recognized that this was the most high-end Liujing Gardens built in A City a few years ago. The price was impressively costly. Not everyone would be able to afford to live here, let alone rich people. This estate might be expensive, but it mostly consisted of independent duplex houses. Therefore, there were only sixty-six of them in the entire estate, and the people who lived here were extremely wealthy. As Zuo Hancheng parked his car in a separate parking lot in front of a duplex house, Anhao became even more curious about who this man here actually was¡­ She had seen many celebrities and magnates in A City for so many years despite the fact that she was often looked down upon in Gu Residence. But, where on earth did Zuo Hancheng come from? And who was he anyway? While being suspicious from the bottom of her heart, she was relieved that the internal door locks were finally unlocked and she got out of the car. Anhao did not have a good sleep last night, and she had been up and about the whole day today. She was, needless to say, exhausted, so she followed Zuo Hancheng into his house with her eyes all blurry. Before she stepped into the spacious and neat living room, she saw Zuo Hancheng unbuttoning the collar of his shirt like a natural the moment he entered, looking a lot more casual than he was during the day. Then, he went into a room and walked out not long afterward. He was holding half a glass of clean water and drinking it while glancing at her. Anhao was still standing at the doorway without taking off her shoes and putting down her school bag. Upon seeing this, he put the glass on the coffee table before turning around to look at her and asked, ¡°Not gonna come in?¡± Chapter 13 Chapter 13 ¡°This is your home?¡± Anhao stared at this clean and tidy room with simple d¨¦cor and without any feminine touch. Even when Zuo Hancheng changed his shoes just now, there was only a pair of male slippers on the floor. She thought that he was going to take her to one of his houses for the night. She did not think that he would actually bring her to his own residence. ¡°What place did you think this was?¡± Zuo Hancheng found it funny when he looked at her cautious and alert expression He then walked toward her. As Anhao was hugging her bag and ready to run away at any time, he bent down in front of her, took out a box of brand new slippers that had not been opened from the shoe cabinet, and put them beside her feet. ¡°It¡¯s late, go to the bathroom and clean yourself up, rest earlier.¡± After saying so, his gaze did not stop on her still cautious face. He turned around and went straight into the study after taking a mug. At the same time, his phone rang. It seemed that there was some work that he needed to attend to, or maybe it was because what had happened in the afternoon and evening had delayed many of his work, he still needed to work at this time of night. He did not close the study door as he answered the phone and calmly said, ¡°Send me those e-documents after you have sorted them out.¡± Seeing that he was actually busy with work, Anhao let out a sigh of relief, bent down, and changed into the pair of slippers. After opening that box of new slippers, it appeared to be a pair of dark-grayish men¡¯s slippers. she paused, and was certain that people rarely came to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s residence. The probability of women coming here regularly was even lower. That was why he only prepared one pair of slippers, the others were newly bought and kept in the shoe cabinet just in case. After she was done changing her shoes, she heard Zuo Hancheng in the study turning on his computer and he seemed to be reading some documents. As Zuo Hancheng was busy in the study, she first went into the bathroom to take a shower. She frequently needed to change her clothes when going to the bar at night, which was a good thing as she had a set of fresh undergarments sandwiched in her bag. After she was done taking a shower and had once again put on her clothes, she opened the bedroom door straight away. After opening the door, she saw a clean and completely masculine room, it was simple just like the living room. She then stared at the king-sized bed that seemed to be really soft and comfortable, and guessed that this room belonged to Zuo Hancheng. So she left, wanting to find another room for her to sleep in. However after walking around in the house, and even stomping up to the second floor, she sadly found out that this duplex apartment with such a big area and two floors at that, did not have any other rooms on the second floor that were furnished. Even though they were renovated, clearly the owner thought that a single floor was enough for him to live in, and so there was not much on the second floor. And there was only one room and one bed on the first floor! She then ran downstairs to the study and said angrily, ¡°Zuo Hancheng! What are you planning! How am I going to sleep when there¡¯s only one bedroom?¡± Zuo Hancheng heard her voice, stood up, and walked out. Seeing him walk out and coming closer to herself, Anhao immediately raised her hands and covered her chest, and retreated a few steps back. Having stepped backward, she inadvertently had her back up against the bedroom door. She pointed a finger at him. ¡°Stop! Don¡¯t move! Don¡¯t come any closer to me!¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled slightly. In the end, she was still a nineteen-year-old child. ¡°Did you, on our first night alone after we got married, plan to sleep on a separate bed from your husband?¡± Anhao¡¯s face turned bright red after hearing his words, her hands were wrapped around herself tightly. ¡°You would even sleep with a high schooler! How shameless can you be!¡± The moment she said those words, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s long legs stepped forward and had already trapped her in between the bedroom door and his body and long arms. An aura of danger filled the air, Anhao did not have the slightest idea on how to confront this person who was legally her husband, but in reality a stranger to her. A man that she had thought would rescue her from problems during the day, a man who transformed into a beast at night! Compared to before when she had not changed her clothes, he was stunned for a short moment after seeing her now. She was leaning against the door looking helpless and afraid, and because she had just showered, her body emitted a faint scent of shampoo. Her bob hair was slightly messy, it seemed like it had not been trimmed for more than two months as it was already growing below her ears. She no longer looked like a tomboy, and running upstairs and back down made her small blushing face become much redder. He thought that he had simply married a strange little stray cat, but he was not expecting this girl after having shed her defensive self, to actually be a clear and delicate rough diamond that he could not help but hold in his palm after one look. Detecting the gazes that were up to no good from Zuo Hancheng very near to herself, Anhao gritted her teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know the law just because I¡¯m bad at my studies! I need to be twenty years old to get married! I don¡¯t know what you did to let me get that marriage certification successfully a month ago, but let me warn you, if u dare force anything on me, I¡¯ll sue you for marital rape¡­ Ah¡ª¡± Before Anhao could finish convincing him, the man¡¯s fingers rested on her forehead. That warm touch surprised her to the point where she curled up tightly almost into a ball as she leaned against the door. As he was standing right in front of her she could not avoid him, she could only lift her gaze nervously, the throbbing pain on her forehead made her respond unhappily, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zuo Hancheng stroke her forehead that was wounded by Mrs. Xu¡¯s nail. Even though there was still a bruise, it was not a very serious wound. There was no need to apply any medicine, it seemed it would subside after tonight. He looked down on her unhappy expression. In the next moment, his arms beside her suddenly closed in, and he immediately embraced her. Anhao was shocked and yelled as she shrank backward until her whole body was pressed against him on the bedroom¡¯s wooden door. She lowered her head to avoid him and shouted, ¡°Ahh! Let me go!¡± ¡°Why are you not able to sleep with just one bedroom?¡± She struggled for a moment and realized that Zuo Hancheng had already released her. She was the one who was snuggling up to him thinking that there was some sort of shackle beside her as she kept hitting his chest. After hearing his voice, Anhao returned to her senses immediately and retreated from his embrace the next second. She blushed as she once again leaned against the door. ¡°Could it be that I need to coax you myself for you to sleep?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm was already reaching out, holding her arm as he was about to open the door and pull her in. Anhao was suddenly like a cat that had its tail stepped on as she jumped up. ¡°No! I can sleep on my own!¡± She slapped his hand off and opened the door as she entered quickly, she immediately locked the bedroom door from the inside. She then placed her ear on the door to listen, as she looked down and see that it was locked she exhaled with relief. As she was really tired, after ensuring that the bedroom door was locked and all was safe, Anhao collapsed on that big and comfy bed as she slept deeply. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Waking up in the morning the next day, Anhao opened her eyes and stared at the bedroom which was still unfamiliar to her and was dazed for quite a while before finally snapping back to reality. That was right, she had spent a night yesterday at her newly-wedded husband¡¯s house. She sat up, looked down and saw the pink T-shirt that she did not take off yesterday before going to sleep, and the skirt that she wore. She first was stunned for a moment before she lashed out all the frustration that had built up in her on the spot as she violently smacked the bed, shook her head and screamed, ¡°Ahhhhhh! Bastard! How am I supposed to go to school like this! Dressing like a woman, this is unacceptable!¡± As the sky turned brighter, with danger now all gone, Anhao had also recovered her vigorous strength. Unlike last night when she suddenly had to live under an unfamiliar man¡¯s roof and was extremely nervous. She lifted the blanket and came down from the bed. As she buttoned up the pink T-shirt on her, the bedroom door in front of her suddenly opened. She immediately looked up. With a shocked expression, she looked at that man that had opened the bedroom door just like that. What she saw was a clean and high-quality shirt on Zuo Hancheng, his slender and tall legs were covered by suit pants that seemed like it could not be bought simply from the market. Such a presentable attire, but such a polished scoundrel! But it was obvious that he had woken up earlier. She looked at the time, it was already 7:30 am, but more importantly¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t I lock the door last night! How did you get in?¡± Anhao stood up and dashed toward him. Looking at the girl who had just woken up, Anhao was a completely different person from that helpless and nervous little thing from last night. She was dashing toward him angrily as a glimmer of amusement rose in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark pupils. ¡°This is my house, how do you think I got in?¡± Anhao paused for a moment. He was right, this was his house, he probably had the keys to every room. However, she had slept so soundly last night. When she woke up her clothes were still on her body, she guessed that he had not entered the room and had not done anything to her. Even though fire was burning in her heart, she still held her tongue and did not say anything more. All she did was mutter in a small voice, ¡°I just know that people like you who are already of a certain age also become more shrewd, not one of you people are nice.¡± As she was muttering away, she planned to walk past Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side to leave the room. Suddenly, her arm was gripped by him, she immediately turned her head and glared at him. ¡°What? It¡¯s early in the morning, what are you trying to do in broad daylight?¡± Looking at Gu Anhao who naturally assumed that he would do obscene things whenever he went near her, Zuo Hancheng smiled lightly. He then frowned dangerously in the next second. ¡°What do you mean people who are of a certain age? Am I that old?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes. ¡°Living in the Gu family¡¯s environment, the ages of people who go in and out are so different, usually I would call a person ¡®uncle¡¯ when they¡¯re ten years older than me, you¡¯re ten years older than me, you¡¯re already an uncle. If you¡¯re not a person who¡¯s of a certain age, do you think you¡¯re still a young man?¡± The moment she said so, her whole body was pulled backward, Anhao was unguarded so she lost her balance and bumped into his chest. She staggered as she tried to balance herself. She quickly looked up only to see the man¡¯s handsome face leaning closer to her. Gazing at the man¡¯s face in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. Was it because she was still slightly dazed from just getting out of bed? Even though since the first time she met him she did think that this man was absolutely dazzling and exquisite as if he was not a breed that should exist in the human world. As she stared at the man in front of her with morning rays as his backlight who had pulled her into a hug, all she could do was swallow visibly. ¡®Goddamnit! How can this man be so handsome!¡¯ Even though Anhao had flirted with all the handsome guys in the school, she was aware of who were the people she could provoke, and those that she could not. Just like Zuo Hancheng in front of her, a man whom she did not even know really was. She then struggled to release herself from his grip. ¡°What are you doing¡­¡± ¡°When you called me and asked me to go to your school, weren¡¯t you choking and sobbing while acting pitiful?¡± The man looked condescendingly at this petite woman who barely reached the height of his shoulder. His clear black pupils seemed to be sucking in her vicious actions and movements. ¡°Yesterday in the police station you acted like you let people trample on you, making it so pitiful and heart-wrenching to watch, and now you¡¯ve changed? Getting rid of me after getting what you want, hmm?¡± Anhao concealed the awkward expression that almost appeared on her face. Suddenly, she pulled her arm with force, and shoved the man using her arms and legs. Every time she tried to attack him she was easily stopped by him. After a few minutes of continuously exchanging blows, she was still pinned to the wall by him. Anhao¡¯s eyelid twitched as she raised her leg and aimed to hit his crotch. However, Zuo Hancheng stopped her leg the moment she raised it, and as he pinned her to the wall he closed in at the same time, pinning her arms and legs that were still flailing about. His lips curved into a dashing smile yet it made her want to punch him. ¡°No wonder those two good-for-nothings were almost beaten to death by you, as expected of your skills.¡± Anhao struggled with all her might but could not release herself, she cursed, ¡°Can you stop acting like a thug in broad daylight?¡± She was more upset about the fact that those years of training Taekwondo had gone to waste as it was useless in front of him. Even those basic self-defense techniques that she had learnt just recently were easily stopped by him. This man had not only won by a long shot in terms of both strength and observation, no matter how she attacked him, her wrists and hands would easily get pinned down by him. Also, the little thugs from the Xu family were extremely drunk that time. If not it would not have gone so smoothly for her being up against three guys. ¡°I haven¡¯t even made you fulfill your obligations as a wife, and you¡¯re saying I¡¯m acting like a thug?¡± Zuo Hancheng put on a light smile that Anhao could not read. Looking at the girl in front of him who could not win against him in terms of strength, and because she was his wife so she could only suffer the loss and endure her anger. Her small puffy face which had turned pink with suppressed anger, once again tried to lift her arm. However, he still easily pinned her arm down. The man¡¯s fingers were warm but strong, Anhao could not struggle her way out so she replied, ¡°You better not act recklessly! I need to go to school!¡± ¡°Today¡¯s a weekend.¡± His voice reverberated between their lips that were a hair¡¯s breadth away from each other, Anhao nervously retreated backward as the man¡¯s soft, slightly cool lips, accurately pressed on hers. She froze instantly and did not dare to move. Her mind was in an uproar as she did not know why he would kiss her. She could only feel the man¡¯s cool but persistent breath, as if he had his own special temperature. He lightly sucked and bit her lips with a little bit of force, even adding some strength to it, pinching her chin as if punishing her. As Anhao stared at him with eyes wide open, filled with disbelief, he coaxed her in a deep voice, ¡°Be a good girl and stay at home, wait for me to come back.¡± As he spoke, he had already released her. Just as Anhao leaned against the wall and looked at him stiffly, he had already put a gold card and set of keys on the lampstand beside her where she could easily reach. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 ¡°You can¡¯t return to school to hang out with those delinquent friends of yours during the weekends, if you have nowhere to go, this is your home starting from today onward.¡± Anhao¡¯s astonished pupils moved, she turned to look at the golden card and set of keys, once again she looked at Zuo Hancheng with a shocked expression. ¡°My home?¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng lightly adjust the sleeves of the high-quality shirt, the delicate buttons were like himself, simple and clean but seemed rather unique. ¡°You can treat this place as our matrimonial home, you may use all the rooms on the second floor as you like, from now on you are not allowed to sell alcohol in the bar, if you¡¯re not willing to spend money from the Gu family, use this card.¡± Anhao was still in disbelief, she took a look at the golden card, this was a second card under his name, this meant that there was unlimited credit in this card, she could spend as much she wanted¡­ ¡°Why are you treating me so well?¡± She was a bit dazed, for a moment, except for the stupid question, she did not really know what else to ask him, she had even forgotten the kiss that was forced onto her. Zuo Hancheng looked and her for a moment before saying, ¡°Because you are Mrs. Zuo now.¡± Anhao seemed surprised, many question marks were circling in her mind, but before she could ask them, Zuo Hancheng had left. She quickly ran to the window, opened the French-style window, and saw him getting on a high-class black business coach that was driven by a chauffeur, he did not drive his own car. Seeing the car that was slowly leaving her sight, Anhao still had an expression that looked as if she had not woken up from a dream. It was until that phone of hers that started ringing beside the bed only did she return to her senses, she quickly ran and picked up her phone. ¡°Hello! Anhao! I heard that you¡¯re not being punished by the school or the police station? Since today¡¯s a weekend and there¡¯s no class, let¡¯s go celebrate!¡± Anhao raised an eyebrow. ¡°Then, let¡¯s go¡­¡± but she stopped mid-sentence, turned her head and glanced at the keys to Liujing Residence. ¡®You can¡¯t return to school to hang out with those delinquent friends of yours during the weekends, if you have nowhere to go, this is your home starting from today onward.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words rang in her ears but of course Gu Anhao would not be so obedient. But with the way she was dressed like a petite lady right now, she really was not ready to go out and meet people. No matter if it were her girlfriends in school or the dorm, or guy friends that she usually hung out with, if they were to see her like this they would think the world was about to end. She paused and said, ¡°Whatever, I¡¯m not going today, even if nothing happened, it also caused a lot of problems, I¡¯m annoyed right now.¡± ¡°Oh? Are you a changed person now? I thought that you never liked being locked up in school during weekends? Don¡¯t you wanna get a drink? How about we go to¡­¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not going anywhere, I need some quiet time right now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Huang Amao on the other side of the phone reacted like Chunchun, Anhao¡¯s best friend, when he heard Anhao talking in such a worn out way for the first time ever, he quickly asked in a small voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Anhao massaged her forehead to relieve her headache. ¡°Yeah just some stuff, you¡¯ll know after a few days¡¯ time, let me rest for a while now.¡± Not waiting for Huang Amao to continue asking her any questions, Anhao simply found a reason and hung up. She did not know why she would need to obey Zuo Hancheng, even though he was not at home, she could go wherever she wanted to, and it was none of his business, just thinking about him saying that this was her home from now on, the seed of rebellion in her heart was once again pushed down. Seeing that he went to the police station and helped her solve a big problem yesterday, she would tolerate him for two days, it was just one weekend! It was her first time doing nothing during the weekends, usually senior year students would go to school during the weekends to make up for missed classes. Anhao, on the other hand, usually not only skipped classes, she also never went for extra lessons during the weekends. After lazing about the entire morning, Anhao felt like mold was growing on her as she felt bored watching television. Once again, she glanced at the gold card on the coffee table and she hesitated for a moment. After all, he just wanted to fulfill his obligations as a husband, that was why he would give her the card, if she did not spend some money that would be too courteous and reserved of her. Did he really think that she, Gu Anhao, when facing people¡¯s kindness, would turn down bashfully, saying things like ¡°No thanks, I have money, I can spend my own money¡±, a person that would say such idiotic things? Furthermore, living under the same roof as him made her little heart shocked to the point that it was about to clog up, she needed to give herself some psychological comfort and relief! And so, she took the card and the keys, and happily dashed out of the door. *** Shengling Group¡¯s CEO Office¡ª Assistant Mo Bai and Secretary Lin Qing looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at the president who was reading meeting reports, they then glanced at the phone on the office table that was vibrating every few minutes. It was strange as CEO Zuo¡¯s private phone would rarely get messages so frequently. In just under two hours, the phone would vibrate from time to time, and vibrate again, it sounded like they were message notifications. In this day and age, who would still send messages, but with this frequency, could it be that CEO Zuo¡¯s personal phone number was being harassed and bombarded by someone using a software? ¡°Mo Bai, write this down, these places need corrections.¡± Without being bothered by the constant buzzing of his phone, Zuo Hancheng put down the meeting materials in his hands. Mo Bai quickly took a pen and paper and moved closer. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had gone through the meeting materials, Secretary Lin Qing went forward respectfully and said, ¡°CEO Zuo, today¡¯s a Saturday, to meet you in person, Chairman Zhao from Jinhua Organization has made an appointment half a month ago, if you don¡¯t have any plans tonight, would you consider planning a meeting with Chairman Zhao?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced over at Lin Qing, he did not say anything as he took his phone that kept getting message notifications, and read the ten or more of his second card expense notifications. There were many notifications, and so he thought that Anhao had went to the mall and bought many clothes, bags or jewelry that young girls her age would like, but¡­ Your XX Card with the last four digits 8808 purchased 5 bags of XX Shrimp Snack at XX Supermarket, total amount 20 yuan. Your XX Card with the last four digits 8808 purchased 3 bags of XX Jelly at XX Supermarket, total amount 15.90 yuan. Your XX Card with the last four digits 8808 purchased 1 box of XX Chips at XX Supermarket, total amount 6 yuan. Your XX Card with the last four digits 8808 purchased 2 kilograms of grapes at XX Fruit Trading Company, total amount 58 yuan. ¡­1 box of tissue, 2 bags of yogurt snack¡­ 12 yuan. ¡­3.50 yuan. ¡­8.80 yuan. ¡­17 yuan¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face right now was filled with emotions. Even Mo Bai and Lin Qing who had been beside him for years could not help but be curious about the contents of those messages, causing CEO Zuo who usually had a poker face to make such faces. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Anhao ate to her heart¡¯s content and took a nap in the afternoon, by the time she woke up it was already 5pm. Her phone rang at 6pm on the dot, she quickly ran out from the bathroom and picked up her phone, ¡°Hello! Boss! I¡¯ll be there soon!¡± ¡°Anhao! Why didn¡¯t you come back last night? Your bag in the private room was taken, what about the money for that five bottles of alcohol? What¡¯s going on? I don¡¯t suppose you¡¯re trying to run off with the money are you?¡± ¡°Err, wait for me and I¡¯ll explain to you, I¡¯m on my way!¡± After she hung up she returned to the bathroom quickly, and she looked at herself in the mirror. No matter how the blow dryer dried her hair, she could not style it like the wig she had from before. After working at it for more than half an hour, she did not have time to put her makeup on, finally she gave up on her hair, and wanted to put on her makeup first. However, as she ran out of the bathroom, she heard the sound of the door opening. Zuo Hancheng entered via the door, first he saw Anhao with messy hair, and his gaze fell upon the bags of chips on the coffee table and sofa from the corner of his eyes. He once again looked around, the entire house had become like a disaster film in just one day. As for the culprit that had caused this, she was stunned behind the sofa seeing him return without a moment¡¯s notice. Without knowing what to do she lifted her small hands and greeted him stiffly, smiling brightly. ¡°Hi, you¡¯re back? Did you just come back from work?¡± In less than one day, the house was ruined by her and it looked like a battlefield, as for her, she had cleaned herself up, was fresh out from the bath, had tidy clothes on, and was obviously about to go out. Zuo Hancheng walked across the trashed living room, and after seeing the bags of empty junk food left on the sofa, he lifted his hand and massaged between his brows. ¡°You¡¯re going out?¡± ¡°Uhh¡­¡± Anhao stuttered ambiguously. Seeing her acting so guiltily, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s perfect forehead slightly pulsed, he did not ask her where she was going. ¡°Clean up before you leave.¡± Anhao looked up in shock. ¡°Now?¡± ¡°Unless you want to sleep in filth.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m in a hurry!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not say another word to her as he hung his coat that he was holding on his arm on the rack at the entrance. He looked down and saw two pairs of her shoes at the entrance that were haphazardly thrown on the ground. Anhao wanted to object at first, but as she looked down and saw the house that was supposed to be clean and tidy become so messy because of her in under a day, though she was in a hurry, she knew she was at fault. She could only bend down and start picking up the trash on the sofa unwillingly, she lifted her head and saw that Zuo Hancheng had noticed that her shoes were thrown at the entrance, she quickly ran over, and arranged them properly before he got angry. After that, under those icy cold eyes, she turned around and went back to the living room and the bedroom to clean up the disastrous aftermath that she had caused. It took about an hour and a half before the bedroom and living room were back to their original state. She was so exhausted that she did not feel like going out, but seeing that it was nearly 7:30 pm, without saying anything else, she turned to grab her bag and took out her makeup bag. She sat in the living room and wanted to do her makeup quickly. Her makeup bag was suddenly taken away by someone. She immediately lifted her eyes and saw that Zuo Hancheng had taken a bath when she was cleaning up the house and had just come out. ¡°What are you doing? I cleaned up the rooms!¡± Zuo Hancheng noticed that the bag was filled with nothing but low-quality makeup and some metallic jewelry, and he threw them into the trash bin without hesitation. Anhao stood up to stop him, but as soon as she stood up she was enveloped by the clean fragrance of body soap from the man, those curses that were at the corner of her mouth were swallowed back abruptly. Still, she raised her gaze angrily, like a kitten that had someone stepped on its tail, how she wished she could bite him to death. Zuo Hancheng pressed on the girl¡¯s head, he knew that she was about to vent at him, and his big palm gently patted her hair. He seemed to know why she was angry, and chose the right time to soothe the tail he had stepped on before it turned into a fight. ¡°What I told you yesterday, have you forgotten? You¡¯re not allowed to go to the bar.¡± Anhao balled her hands into fists, making cracking sounds. ¡°No one has ever controlled me! Who do you think you are!¡± Zuo Hancheng replied as if he did not hear a word she said, ¡°Get rid of all these junk food and things unrelated to your academics in your bag.¡± Anhao remembered that there was still a box of fake eyelashes and a temporary hair curler in her bag, after hearing him say that she subconsciously turned to protect her bag, but was a second too late. Seeing those random objects in her bag, that so-called school bag that did not even have a single book inside, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression became so dark it was hard to describe. ¡°Hey! Hey! Don¡¯t throw them away! ¡°Hey! Zuo Hancheng! Don¡¯t throw them away, I still need them¡­ You¡­¡± Ever since yesterday, all of Anhao¡¯s stuff had been completely revealed to him, for a moment, she felt like she was standing fully exposed in front of a stranger, not knowing what to do, not having any sense of security. All the things that she had relied on and used as a disguise for five years were being thrown away one by one, Anhao swallowed her frustration and said through gritted teeth, ¡°Zuo Hancheng, why did you marry me!¡± ¡°Do you not remember what happened a month ago?¡± ¡°I remember! I even recall that nothing happened between you and me! It was just Gu Shishi and the others that tried to put the blame on me to force me into a dead end!¡± Anhao glared at him. ¡°You knew that they were not kind people! Why did you agree? Since I¡¯m so imperfect and unreliable, and since you dislike me so much, why did you still marry me?¡± Zuo Hancheng threw her empty bag to the sofa beside her, looked at her for a moment, before his voice that was as cool as clear spring sounded, ¡°I was passing through a mud swamp, saw a little kitty that had fallen into a puddle of mud and almost drowned. Do I save it, or do I not?¡± Anhao could not remember when was the last time she cried, but she did not know why, her eyes felt hot. She bit her lips and muttered, ¡°Now that you have saved me, do you need to be so serious about it?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her again, and he went to the kitchen. Anhao¡¯s gaze followed his silhouette, and she heard him say to her lightly with his back to her, ¡°When the little kitty was saved, mud was stuck on its eyes, it couldn¡¯t see the path in front and it had lost its direction. It just so happened that I had some time, and I was feeling somewhat compassionate, so I brought the little kitty home and cleaned it up, that¡¯s all.¡± It was a metaphor that could not have been clear enough, it had completely blocked all the unwillingness and angry hurls at the corner of her mouth. She glared at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s silhouette, moved her lips, as if wanting to say something, but abruptly withheld herself. It had been five years since anyone had ever controlled her, no one knew what happened to her five years ago, and no one would care if her eyes were blinded and that she was lost, no one would care whether she would be able to find her way in life. In her eyes, the present and the future were the same, it was just a grayish fog, living day by day, there was nothing to hope for and look forward to. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 She could actually just take her empty bag and leave right this instance, leave Liujing Residence. Even if Zuo Hancheng was her husband in name that did not mean that he could restrict her rights and freedom, though he did have the power to do so. However, Anhao, who rarely acted so obediently, did not insist on going out. She angrily cleared the makeup products from the trash bin and her bag, planning to throw them out. Seeing that girl irritatedly cleaning up all the mess, while flicking the strands of hair sticking to the side of her face, she seemed extremely annoyed, or maybe she was holding a grudge against herself. Zuo Hancheng chuckled, he looked back at the kitchen and saw the pots and pans that had not been touched, he then went into the kitchen. Even though Anhao did not insist on going out, she was fuming at the man that seemed to be a neat freak. He did not allow her to leave those so-called trash in the house. Since he could not stand the way she lived, why would he leave her at home with such ease? Until she was so exhausted that her whole body was sore, it finally seemed like she was done doing everything that he had requested. She was now feeling a bit hungry, and planned to fill her stomach with some chips, but when she walked into the bedroom the remaining boxes of chips left on the coffee table were gone. What had replaced them was the aromatic smell of dishes drifting from the living room, she followed the aroma, and saw Zuo Hancheng taking two dishes out and putting them on the dining table. ¡°You didn¡¯t eat during the day?¡± Seeing her standing there in daze, Zuo Hancheng asked placidly. Anhao was busy taking out the trash just now, she did not realize what Zuo Hancheng was doing, she never would have thought that he would actually cook. Staring at the three dishes and a pot of soup on the table, the fragrance that wafted from the appetizing dishes greatly tempted her, she gulped down saliva and blinked dazedly. ¡°I ate some shrimp snacks, and some chips.¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled out a chair beside the dining table, and said faintly, ¡°Wash your hands.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± She was really hungry, and seeing that he meant to invite her to join in on the meal, she knew what she had to do and turned to wash her hands. She quickly washed her hands, just as she was about to pull out a chair to sit down, his voice sounded again, ¡°Go take the bowls and chopsticks.¡± The corner of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, since he had already cooked he was still acting like he was the boss! Seeing the tempting dishes that smelled so aromatic, she kept it in, and attentively ran into the kitchen and brought out two sets of bowls and chopsticks. Finally, she could sit down and eat. She lifted her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth without any hesitation. She was rather surprised and lifted her eyes, looking at the man in front of her. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, what is your actual job? How can you cook so well too¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change at all under Anhao¡¯s gaze that showed a hint of curiosity and adoration, he picked up a piece of vegetable from another dish and put it into her bowl. ¡°You should eat less junk food in the future.¡± Anhao ate the piece of vegetable put into her bowl, at the same time, she shot a glance at the empty coffee table, he was the one that threw out those chips. However, in front of such delicious dishes she could not get angry, she continued eating as she nodded and said, ¡°Oh¡­ I¡¯ll try¡­¡± He could hear that she was merely pacifying him, Zuo Hancheng shot her a cold stare. ¡°I¡¯m not joking.¡± Anhao immediately put down her bowl, and picked up the glass of water on the side as she gulped the water down, and argued, ¡°Why so strict? I¡¯m not breaking the law, I¡¯m just eating junk food.¡± ¡°Eat at regular times, junk food is not a necessity.¡± Anhao was annoyed, he was being too overbearing! He controlled the way she dressed and threw away her things, now he even wanted to limit her junk food intake! If not for his excellent culinary skills and the food he made that was so delicious, she would have boldly flipped the dishes in front of her and left. Now that her gluttonous side had come out, she could not care less about her dignity, she gave a short ¡°ok¡±, reluctantly agreed and hung her head to continue eating, but that hesitant expression on her face spoke more than her words, she was completely unwilling. To prevent him from saying anything else to lecture her, Anhao gobbled up a few bites before directly bringing up another topic, ¡°By the way, Zuo Hancheng, what do you do? Why does the Xu family revere you so much? Seems like even our school principal was afraid of offending you¡­ Even your cooking is so good¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng lightly looked at her. ¡°I lived alone when I was studying abroad many years ago, I learned to take care of myself naturally with time, if I were to choose between take-out or cooking myself, of course I would choose to do it myself.¡± ¡°So what do you actually do?¡± Anhao felt like she was being peeled apart layer by layer by him, in the end she did not even know what his identity was. This would not do, she needed to find out, at least she needed to gain some leverage. It was at that time when Anhao¡¯s phone suddenly rang, she did not even have time to consider as Zuo Hancheng had snatched her phone away, the word ¡°Boss¡± was flashing on the screen, he instantly shot her another look. Anhao felt her face tighten, she hung her head, pretending that she did not see who it was and continued wolfing down her meal. However, she could not help but take a peek at him, and saw him hang up the phone. He obviously did not intend to pick up the call, after that it was like nothing had happened as he said coolly, ¡°This is unimportant.¡± ¡°How is it unimportant? I don¡¯t even know your identity, who knows, maybe you¡¯re trying to sell me.¡± ¡°Sell you? With how you dress up and that makeup of yours in the bar, even if I pay to sell you no one would want to buy you, do you think I would want a business that loses me money?¡± Anhao almost choked on her food. She gritted her teeth silently, after gobbling up the food she pushed the empty bowl to the front. ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± As she was about to stand up. ¡°Wash the dishes.¡± ¡°¡­Damn you!¡± *** After she was finally done with washing the dishes, she felt that ever since Zuo Hancheng returned home she did not have time to rest, especially after cleaning up the house, she was covered in sweat, Anhao once again went to take a shower. After she was done with her shower, she saw that it was already 9 pm, she knew that no matter what excuse she were to give, he would not let her out this late, she could only return to the bedroom feeling bored. However, as she passed by the sofa on her way she took a glance at the phone in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s palm, she paused for a moment, and poked her head over to look, ¡°What are you doing with my phone?¡± ¡°Your boss messaged you warning you that if you don¡¯t go to work he¡¯ll cut your pay.¡± Anhao was stunned, she quickly snatched her phone back and read the message, she was instantly enraged. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! Your fault my pay is gonna get cut! Do you believe I¡¯ll max out your card!¡± Speaking of card, those peculiar message notifications of three yuan five yuan or a few ten yuan appeared in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mind, he shot her a look. ¡°Quit your job at the bar, I gave you the card not only for you to buy junk food.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes, she did not say anything and turned around, walking back to the bedroom. ¡°Also,¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice came from behind her, ¡°What¡¯s with your results?¡± Just hearing the word ¡®results¡¯, Anhao¡¯s hair stood on ends and she started sweating buckets, she turned and saw the result slip that she had kept in a clear folder in her bag. she immediately rushed toward it, attempting to get it back. ¡°Give it back!¡± Chapter 18 Chapter 18 As a result, the moment she pounced, Zuo Hancheng easily trapped her into a hug. Anhao struggled in his embrace and looked up, looked at that line of zeros in the result slip in his hand, and she felt as if the world had become dark. She was enraged to the boiling point, suddenly, she struggled vehemently and escaped from his hug. She lifted her hand and ran it through her hair, making an effort to calm herself down. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, I admit that you are my husband on paper, but that does not mean that you can simply look at my phone and results as you please! I think we should just get divorced, this way we won¡¯t even be connected in name, you walk your way, and I¡¯ll walk mine¡­¡± Before she could finish, the sight in front of her eyes was reversed, she quickly lifted her hands and put them between their bodies as she glared sharply at the man who had pressed her onto the sofa. ¡°Let me go! Did you not hear what I said? I wanna divorce you!¡± ¡°Divorce?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows were slightly raised, his volume deep but clear, with a gaze that she could not understand, he seemed so unpredictable that she could not help but shiver. His palm was sliding down along her shirt and under it, while Anhao was busy struggling, it did not take him much effort to lock her down. His palm then glided past her hips, the skin under his palm was more enticing than he expected, he held onto her hips which were moving recklessly, and his voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°If you think you can escape just by divorcing this husband on paper, I don¡¯t mind making you the real Mrs. Zuo right here right now.¡± The hand on her hips was utterly threatening, Anhao¡¯s whole body froze as she did not dare to move again, but she glared straight into his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t care! I wanna divorce you!¡± She had had enough of this man who could easily control everything, had enough of being powerless and nervous in front of him. ¡°Sorry, but I have no intention of remarrying for the time being.¡± The man¡¯s palm casually moved to her back. Anhao was as stiff as a rock as she felt his palm move up, she nervously struggled and lifted her hands to push him away with all her might. ¡°No, you can¡¯t! Zuo Hancheng let me go! I¡¯m still a student! Don¡¯t be an animal!¡± The man on top of her stopped because of her violent struggles, but the hand lingering on her bra hook still exuded a threatening vibe. Anhao was so frustrated to the point that her eyes had started to turn red because she could not overpower the man, his other hand suddenly smacked her head with her result slip without mercy. ¡°So you know you¡¯re a student?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Just how much do you not care about your own life that you actually got zeros for your trial exams!¡± As she was so panicked that her eyes had turned red, the man quickly withdrew his hand from her hips, not doing anything else to harass her again. Anhao, who got her freedom back, quickly sat back up, feeling upset as she reached for the result slip that was pasted on her head. She looked at the teachers¡¯ remarks and the total marks of zero from the six subjects, she used to think that it was nothing, but now that the results were smacked onto her head, she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Seeing Anhao sitting on the side and holding her result slip without saying anything, she actually seemed to be ashamed, it would seem that she did know how to blush and feel embarrassed. ¡°Smoking, drinking, picking fights, skipping classes, dating at such a young age, committing all manners of crimes. Just what kind of a disaster did you create to have the teachers write such remarks?¡± ¡°Me having bad records is known around the school, if you can¡¯t stand it then you would be better off divorcing me!¡± Anhao still felt upset, but she was still stubborn. The man beside her gave her a look, seeing that she really did not care about anything, he stood up and walked toward the entrance. ¡°We can solve everything quickly just by getting a friend in the Civil Administration to give us a stamp, after we are done I¡¯ll send you back to the Gu family personally.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Just hearing him mentioning the Gu family, Anhao looked at the dark night sky out the window, and she quickly stood up. Zuo Hancheng did not look back, he had already taken his coat and slipped an arm in, clearly she had no chance to take back the words she said, Anhao hastily ran over. ¡°I don¡¯t wanna go back to the Gu family¡­¡± The man who had walked to the entrance then finally looked back at her, his eyes were cold and distant, as if once they stepped out of the door they would no longer have any relationship with each other. Anhao¡¯s steps felt heavy. ¡°I¡¯m not going back.¡± ¡°Since I was the one that took you away in front of the members of the Gu family, now I will send you back, with a beginning comes an end, you have no choice.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back to the Gu family!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, should I bring your result slip to the Gu family so that they can admire it? That sister from another mother of yours and your stepmother seemed to look forward to seeing your miserable and embarrassing side.¡± Anhao lifted her gaze and glared at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare bring it to them!¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed frostily. ¡°So you still know how embarrassing this is? And you do know that this type of self-indulgent way would make those that hate you push you around even more?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao gripped her fists tightly, her nails were dug deeply into her palms. ¡°Y-You, stop¡­¡± That slim and tall silhouette had reached the entrance, and because of that weak and small voice he stopped in his tracks, but he did not look back. ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°I thought you wanted a divorce?¡± ¡°¡­I don¡¯t anymore!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t anymore! I¡¯ll listen to everything you say, is that not enough!¡± Anhao lifted her hands and covered her eyes as she could not even stand herself, what a fool she was. Dignity, integrity, spirit, all that stuff, were completely destroyed! *** The next day, when Zuo Hancheng got his hands on all of Anhao¡¯s results the past three years in A High School, Anhao felt that she could no longer defend her life. However, that bastard Zuo Hancheng was currently threatening her with it. After weighing the pros and cons, compared to being an embarrassment and a laughing stock to the Gu family, she would rather temporarily submit to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tyranny. With that said, Zuo Hancheng did not desert her because of her results for the past three years. Anhao did not have anything to do so she went around the empty rooms on the second floor and explored the rooms. Since Zuo Hancheng promised her that she could use the rooms on the second floor however she wanted, the first thing she had to do was make one of the rooms her very own. After sketching up a draft for almost a day, when she went downstairs, she saw another pile of her results on the table. She walked over curiously, as soon as she picked them up and saw the words XX High School, she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice from behind. ¡°You got first place in the entire year in terms of academic results when you were in junior high, all the teachers¡¯ remarks of you were nothing but praises, a year later it all started falling apart, you only wrote your name on the paper during exams, not answering a single question, the reason you could get into A High School was because you¡¯re the daughter of the mayor Gu Tianming, if not no high school would accept you.¡± ¡°You became even worse when you were in Year 3, smoking, drinking, sleeping in classes and messing around outside late at night, you even flirted with all the good-looking male students. Gu Anhao, you¡¯ve lived your life quite interestingly in the past few years.¡± Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Anhao then looked at her results from a few years ago. There was a photo of her from five years ago on the first page, she still had long hair at that time. The man¡¯s voice was so close to her. He was right behind her. Anhao turned to look at him and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear and deep eyes. She acted indifferently. ¡°I thought that you already know all of my bad records? Why are you still using that tone with me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re rather unperturbed, huh?¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed. ¡°With that look of yours and that punk rock style you had, without your school uniform, where did you even get the courage to flirt with those boys?¡± Anhao merely rolled her eyes and changed the subject, ¡°By the way, the principal called me just now.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± The owner of the voice was clearly unhappy with the way she diverged the topic. ¡°The principal said that the parents of the Xu family want to apologize personally, but because they have no way of contacting you, they asked him to call me, and wanted me to ask you if you would give them a chance to apologize¡­¡± Anhao was perplexed as she stared at him. ¡°Now that I think about it this is strange, they were the ones who wronged me, why are they apologizing to you? You¡¯re not the mayor, why are they so scared of you?¡± ¡°Apologize?¡± Zuo Hancheng lightly glanced at her. ¡°Do you need it?¡± ¡°Of course I do.¡± Anhao said boldly, ¡°I don¡¯t care how the police took care of the problem, in the end they¡¯ve ruined my reputation in school! If they want to apologize, they¡¯ll have to do it in front of the whole school!¡± ¡°Do you still have a reputation in A High?¡± ¡°¡­ Zuo Hancheng, in any case I¡¯m still your wife. Can you at least say some nice things with that mouth of yours? I was hurt really badly two days ago in school, and now they¡¯re prepared to compensate for the harm they¡¯ve done to me. I can¡¯t turn them down!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t meet them.¡± ¡°Then how do I reply to the principal?¡± ¡°How you reply is your problem, you¡¯re old enough so you should be able to figure that out, do I still need to teach you how to reject people?¡± Anhao understood what he meant. The reason he went to the school that day was because of her, but as soon as the matter was resolved, he would never meet the Xu family or even the principal again. Was he not being too arrogant? *** Nightfall. It was already the third night Anhao was in Liujing Residence. On the first night, both of them came home late, and because Zuo Hancheng was busy with work, Anhao slept in his room alone. As for the second night, because Anhao held herself back and promised that she would listen to him, he caressed her head and told her to go to bed early, and not think about the bar again. Anhao did not know what had possessed her. Even though she was still concerned about her work at the bar, she actually went to bed after he had persuaded her. She was knocked out as soon as her head touched the pillow and she slept until the next morning, feeling oddly at ease. This was the third night¡­ As Anhao sat on the living room sofa, sketching here and there on the drafts of all the rooms on the second floor, the bathroom door opened. She lifted her eyes quite abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng in a bathrobe fresh out from the shower. It was a good thing that he was not like those shameless male main characters in love stories where they would just wrap their lower half with a towel. If not, Anhao feared that her eyes would swell up. However, Zuo Hancheng was only wearing a bathrobe. The belt was loosely tied on his waist, the front part of the robe was wide open so more than half of his chest was exposed. Seeing the droplets of water still on his chest, her eyes looked from the belt on his waist to his naked chest. To the water that was dripping from his chin, and then onto the man¡¯s absurdly handsome face that was utterly exquisite, and finally on to his wet hair that was still dripping water. Damp black hair, and seeing him walking out and simply taking a towel to wipe his hair¡­ Anhao oddly could not take her eyes off him. A month ago because of a strange combination of circumstances, she had seen the man in the hotel room. She was already amazed then, but at that time she had been in shock and filled with anger toward the Gu family. She had only known that she was married to a dazzling and in no way an ordinary man in all the confusion. Her eyes were glued to the man. Anhao subconsciously bit the end of her pencil. Staring at that man, she was wondering what the God of Creation was thinking, to create such a man where a single imperfection could not be found, and wondered if his mother ate some sort of miraculous magical medicine while pregnant with him. A man, and especially a man that was going to be in his thirties, even him drying his hair seemed so dashing. If he were to go back ten years, this man would no doubt be a man with unparalleled beauty of the generation! But time had etched on his face such an appeal and calmness. It was a demeanor that no young men her age would be able to have. It was such that the only thing he had to do was stand still and he would still catch people¡¯s attention, why did he even have the hobby of educating kids? This was the part that was the most confusing to Anhao. Could it be that this fellow Zuo Hancheng liked playing simulation games? Anhao suddenly shivered, she had heard that rich people in the present were more and more perverted. She reckoned that Zuo Hancheng was one of the perverts, since he liked simulations like this so much, and he liked his women to be obedient. She should just buy him an inflatable doll¡ªthe type that he would be extremely satisfied with. After coming out of the shower, and being ogled at by the girl sitting on the couch, Zuo Hancheng could read the amazement, worship, and even lewdness from her stare. He calmly threw the towel on the floor, and slightly closed the front of his robe. Without being flustered, he said, ¡°Seen enough?¡± Anhao quickly lifted her hands and half-covered her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t be a narcissist, there¡¯s only two of us in the room. You are the one wearing your robe so loosely after your shower, if it were other people they would also be staring at you. It¡¯s a good thing I didn¡¯t see anything, otherwise my eyes would¡¯ve swelled up¡­¡± ¡°You reminded me of something.¡± Zuo Hancheng then suddenly walked toward her. Anhao suddenly felt nervous. Seeing the man who had just showered coming closer to her, she stiffly stared at him. ¡°What did I remind you of?¡± ¡°Anhao, even though you¡¯re a high school student, you¡¯re already an adult.¡± Zuo Hancheng moved as if he was about to take off the belt on his robe, he said slowly, ¡°Fulfilling the roles of a husband and wife is the fundamentals of a marriage, even though a girl like you is still too na?ve, you still count as a lady.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t come any closer!¡± Just when she thought that her two nights here had been peaceful, thinking that he would not be an animal and do anything to her because she was still a high school student. However, seeing him about to take off his clothes, Anhao quickly jumped behind the sofa, took her fresh set of clothes on the sofa, and said, ¡°Go to your study! I¡¯m gonna go take a shower! Bye!¡± Chapter 20 Chapter 20 She quickly scurried her way into the bathroom, slammed the door with all her might, and locked the door from the inside. After locking the door she remembered that this was his house. If he were to be taken over by his beastly nature and unlocked the door, what could she do? She paced around in the bathroom for a while. Then she lifted a hook that was on the wall and hung it on the lock, making sure that Zuo Hancheng could not possibly enter before sighing in relief. As she was taking a shower, it was very quiet outside. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have no intentions of breaking the door down. Anhao would look outside from time to time. With light coming through the bottom of the door, she could see whether his silhouette was coming closer to the bathroom. she finally let her guard down and calmed herself down. After she was done showering and drying her hair, she walked out of the bathroom, but did not see Zuo Hancheng in the living room. So Anhao tip-toed all the way back to the bedroom. As soon as she was in the room she quickly locked the door, and put the hook from the bathroom on the door. It was a success. She dusted her hands seemingly pleased with herself, and turned to the bed. As soon as she turned around she was very close to screaming and she quickly covered her mouth, shocked to the core as she saw Zuo Hancheng lying on the bed. He was not in the living room just now, should he not be in the study? When did he come into the bedroom? She looked back at the door she had made an effort to lock, once again she looked back at Zuo Hancheng. He was still awake, and had changed into a set of blue pajamas. He was leaning against the bed frame, and his hands were holding the finished sketches of the second-floor rooms that she had drawn. Anhao tried to open the door and leave before he could look at her, just as her hand touched the doorknob she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. ¡°Come sleep.¡± Anhao stood by the door stiffly. She was in a dilemma. She looked at the beautiful man who had occupied more than half of the bed, but she could not find a reason to chase him out, since this was his home. However, she could not go as far as to share a bed with him. She had just showered, would it not mean that she made an effort to clean herself up and was offering herself to the big black wolf? Realizing that the girl was frozen in place and leaning against the door without moving, Zuo Hancheng squinted his eyes at her coldly. ¡°Since you flirted with all the handsome male students in the entire school, what about me?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes twitched. ¡°Those guys are still young, it¡¯s just flirting nothing else happened. After all their endurance is strong. But to a man like you, almost in his thirties¡­ I mean someone like you who¡¯s of a certain age, I really don¡¯t wanna take advantage of you.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not have the intention of letting her strike a blow, he did not even lift his eyes and said lightly, ¡°It¡¯s alright, I don¡¯t mind you taking advantage of me.¡± Anhao fiercely rolled her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sleeping in the study.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no bed in the study.¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying, then how did you sleep for the past two days?¡± Anhao did not believe him. ¡°It¡¯s almost the end of the year. I need to review some projects from some important departments for the start of the new year. I¡¯ve been reviewing projects for the past few nights, so I didn¡¯t get much sleep.¡± Zuo Hancheng then looked at her. ¡°Are you sure you want to sleep in the study?¡± Who would go if there were no bed! She was not about to torture herself! However, hearing that he was busy for the past two nights without really getting any sleep, she guessed that he probably only snoozed sometimes, and took some time to rest during the day so he did not get much rest for the past two days. No matter how childish Anhao appeared to be she knew that asking him to give her the bed was too much. Her steps were heavy as she walked to the bed, after two steps she stopped. ¡°How about I go to the sofa¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, just how did you describe that Year 3 female student that day?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment, she then quickly reacted. He was sarcastically saying that she was like that white lotus Hanru, mocking her that she was acting reserved! ¡®F*ck!¡¯ She silently rolled her eyes, stood by the bed and muttered unconvinced, ¡°Why do I need to share a bed with you?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m your husband.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao was speechless. She lifted the blanket and dove under it, even though she had on an expression that said she wanted to die. ¡°You plan to use the rooms on the second floor like this?¡± Anhao, who planned to stay under the blankets and go to sleep directly, poked her head out after hearing his words. Seeing that he was looking at her drafts, she held out her hand and pointed. ¡°That room has ample sunlight, and it has a big balcony. You can see the best view of Liujing Residence from the terrace, I think that room suits me best as my bedroom. ¡°For the others, since you insisted that I start studying and turn over a new leaf, then leave that as my study, my personal space, for this room¡­I don¡¯t have a lot of clothes, but since it¡¯s such a big room it¡¯s suitable as a changing room, I also made some other arrangements¡­¡± Even though it was just sketches drawn using pencil, every line and drawing¡ªeven the arrangements that Anhao laid out was well calculated. He did not realize that this girl had talent in designing. Then her taste in aesthetics should not be a problem. That meant that the bizarre dressing style of hers at the bar had been intentional. ¡°The bedroom sketch of the second floor was drawn with great detail, clearly you started with the bedroom first when you drafted.¡± Zuo Hancheng put the papers aside, and glanced at Anhao who was still hiding under the blankets. ¡°Is that how badly you want to sleep apart from your husband?¡± Seeing that he was going under the blanket, like he was about to make a move on her, Anhao clutched the blanket tightly. ¡°I think I better sleep on the couch¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng was already on top of her. ¡°I don¡¯t make it a habit of ignoring my wife. Between sleeping on the couch and sleeping beside me, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re making the wrong choice?¡± She felt that the man¡¯s hands had become restless and were starting to move recklessly on her body. Anhao was speechless and choked, she quickly lifted her hands and grabbed his. ¡°I think you should have an affair! I¡¯m still young and I¡¯m not suited for you!¡± ¡°Whether you are suitable or not, how do you know before even trying?¡± The man had successfully unbuttoned the front buttons of her pajamas When Anhao was out shopping yesterday, she had used his card to buy some junk food. She had bought her daily supplies using her own money. He now realized that she had bought such a reserved set of pajamas¡ªit was the complete opposite of her usual arrogant thug getup that she had at the bar. As he patiently unbuttoned the buttons on her chest, easily locking her limbs which were flailing about as Anhao planned to flee from him, Anhao struggled to lift her hand and pushed him on the chest separating their bodies. ¡°Zuo! Han! Cheng!¡± Just as she got back the freedom of one of her hands, the man had leaned down on her lips. With absolute strength he restrained her until Anhao felt her whole body going stiff, but realized that she could not fight against this man. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 As she was about to lash out, he lowered his head and sealed her lips that were about to speak. When she struggled to escape from his grasp, his hand moved to hold the nape of her neck as he slid his tongue through her lips, savouring the taste of her. ¡°Uh¡­!¡± With her heart pounding like crazy, Anhao hammered his shoulders in a panicked state. ¡°No¡­ No¡­ Uh¡­¡± The man held her down tightly, but she relentlessly hit him back. After struggling for a couple of times, Anhao vaguely felt that the pajamas she was wearing were being taken off. One by one, he neutralized all of her attacks, which greatly pissed her off. This in turn caused her to give him a stinging bite when he was kissing her. Anhao did not realize how hard she had bitten him until she tasted blood in her mouth. But lucky for her, her tactic worked somehow as Zuo Hancheng let go of her lips. She quickly turned away, avoiding his gaze and his kiss, choking on her words as she said, ¡°I told you that I would listen to you, but I¡¯m not ready yet! Zuo Hancheng, how could you do this to me?!¡± The man who was suppressing her stopped what he originally intended to do. With bloodshot eyes, Anhao pushed him away with all her might. ¡°Get off me¡­¡± Below the man, the girl¡¯s forceful resistance was the seed that truly ignited his desire. Witnessing the redness of her eyes, Zuo Hancheng finally realized what he had just done to her. Intending to tease her at first, he failed to realize that he got too carried away, lost in his lustful desires. He had always been a man that was able to control his desires well, yet just moments ago he had almost taken her right there and then against her will. Anhao thought that there was no way for her to escape. After all, she was his wife, and acting like this was not something a wife should do. However, she was truly not ready. Besides¡­ Besides¡­ Besides, she had a reason that she had kept to herself all these years, one that she did not even want to think about. She felt the man bury his head between her neck and collarbone, his scorching breath peppered on her neck, making her all tingly and numb. At this moment, she had no idea what she should do. Until he had stabilized his breathing; until he withdrew himself from her body all of a sudden. When her body felt a sudden chill, Anhao then instinctively gathered up both her clothes and blanket before sitting up. In a state of confusion, Zuo Hancheng left the bed in an instant after seeing her in that seemingly helpless state. She did not expect him to actually stop what he was doing, she hugged herself under the blanket while watching him walk out of the bedroom. Then, she touched her lips, and on it was his blood that had flowed out when she bit him just now¡­ Anhao could not help but shiver upon thinking about how hard she had bitten him, realizing that she might have gone slightly overboard. However, if she did not do that, then perhaps Zuo Hancheng would have made a real woman out of her. After all, she saw the self-control and forbearance in his eyes the moment he got up from the bed. While alone in her thoughts, she was stunned as she suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and proceeded to turn toward the door. ¡®Is he¡­ taking the legendary cold shower?¡¯ When Zuo Hancheng walked out of the bathroom, Anhao had already straightened her pajamas and was cowering under the blanket with only her eyes and forehead visible, covertly glancing at him. She was relieved upon noticing that the wound on his lip did not seem too serious. There were no traces of anger on his face either, like he had already calmed down. By the time he returned to the bed, she could feel the coolness of his body. Without much thought, she gently tugged at his sleeve and asked, ¡°You¡­ you¡­ you took a cold shower?¡± Zuo Hancheng had not said anything since he left the bed. When she pulled at his sleeve, he looked back to see her looking apologetically at him while curled up under the blanket. Initially, upon realizing that he had crossed the line in the way he treated her, he was feeling rather befuddled. However, upon seeing the trace of regret in her eyes and her hand that was tugging at his sleeve, he gave a light smile. Somehow, he was touched by the tenderness of this small yet affectionate gesture of hers. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Go to sleep.¡± Anaho felt even more apologetic the moment she heard that. After releasing her grip on the blanket, she sat up and placed a hand on his body. ¡®So cold.¡¯ He was in the bathroom for quite a long time, it was probably around twenty minutes long. ¡®He took a twenty-minute long cold shower!¡¯ Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows and glanced at her. ¡°Are you trying to tempt me?¡± Anhao quickly withdrew her hand. ¡°No. It¡¯s just that¡­ your body is way too cold.¡± Upon seeing the inexplicable coldness in his eyes, Anhao feared that she would be skinned alive without a proper burial if she were to touch him again. She gathered up her blanket and curled up on her side of the bed. ¡°I won¡¯t touch you anymore, but I seem to recall a lecture on TV saying that it¡¯s not good for men to take a cold shower at times like this¡­¡± ¡°What kind of nonsensical lecture did you watch?¡± ¡°¡­Nothing, just talking nonsense! I¡¯m gonna sleep now!¡± Seeing that his frown had deepened further, Anhao hastily burrowed back under her blanket and covered her head. At the beginning, she was truly exhausted, but after what had happened she found herself very much awake. Snuggled under the blanket with darkness all around her, all that she was focused on was the movements of the other person. Not long after, Zuo Hancheng finally lifted his side of the blanket and slid under it. He suddenly reached out and pulled Anhao into his arms. As she was still wide awake, her body instantly stiffened. ¡°Zuo¡­¡± ¡°Just sleep. I won¡¯t touch you.¡± While embracing her in his arms, he gently patted her head like he was coaxing a kitten that he had frightened just now. His voice was still rather hoarse and his body was no longer cold like it was moments ago. As Anhao rested in his arms, she could smell a masculine, clean and fresh scent that came along with the fragrance of his shower gel. Being held like this in his arms, Anhao should naturally feel more tensed up. However, it could be due to the pleasant fragrance he was exuding, or that she had never been embraced in such a way that gave her a sense of protection; she started to feel sleepy. Being so intimately close to him like this, the thought that the man would rather take a cold shower rather force himself on her was still running through her head. Just because she was young, it did not mean that she was ignorant to the point where she did not understand such things. Therefore, she could not help but silently ask while in his arms, ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­ why did you marry me¡­?¡± He did not reply, and the air was filled with their shallow breathing. However, after what had transpired and what he had gone through, Anhao was pretty sure that he was still awake, As such, she resorted to mumbling to herself in his arms, ¡°You¡¯re obviously wealthy. And you probably hold quite a lot of power too, considering how terrified the Xu family was when in your presence. So, why would such a person like you marry me?¡± Chapter 22 Chapter 22 ¡°Is it just because I am the daughter of a mayor? But you saw that I¡¯m nothing in the Gu family, and you should know that I¡¯ve absolutely nothing to offer. So¡­ Zuo Hancheng, why did you marry me?¡± He suddenly stroked her head. ¡°Since you know that you do not bring any benefit whatsoever, then don¡¯t be too defensive. I¡¯m gonna go for a business trip to Los Angeles for two days, and I¡¯ve got a plane to catch tomorrow morning. So sleep early.¡± ¡®There can¡¯t be no reason.¡¯ Anhao was certain that men would never like her based on how she behaved or dressed up. Plus, there would be absolutely no way for Zuo Hancheng to fall in love with her at first sight last time. She could still vividly remember how disgusted he looked after she threw up on him when she was drunk the first time he met her. Anhao lifted her head to see Zuo Hancheng with his eyes shut. She was unsure whether he was sleeping or not. She might have no idea who he was, but a man who seemed to be at the top of the world was surely not an easy man to deal with. ¡®So, why in the world would he treat me well, give me a home, and even try to discipline such a bad girl like me to be successful in life?¡¯ With her being unaware of how long she had been covertly gazing at him while in his arms, Zuo Hancheng suddenly opened his eyes in the dark. The moment she saw his eyes, Anhao was startled and lowered her head into his arms, fearing that he would get angry again, she hastily said, ¡°Goodnight!¡± Then, she accidentally hit Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chest. Looking at her curling up like an ostrich as she feared what he would do to her next, he shifted her out of his arms. ¡°You seem to have lots of energy left. We can do something else if you don¡¯t wanna sleep.¡± Anhao instantly retorted, ¡°No, no, no! I¡¯ll sleep!¡± She quickly gathered up the blanket and lay down beside him stiffly, not daring to lean toward his arms again. Zuo Hancheng did not reach in to pull her into his arms again. Seeing that she had put both her arms on both sides of her body, and had her eyes shut in a defensive manner, he could not stop laughing at her childishness. Even though Anhao knew that he was just joking with her, her eyes were clamped shut and she did not dare to stare at him again. At first, she did not want to hit the sack for the night. Nevertheless, she unwittingly fell fast asleep not long afterward. It was a night of rest with a rare peace of mind. *** A good night¡¯s sleep. The alarm on her phone awakened Anhao. Opening her blurry eyes, she hugged the blanket and lazily rolled into a ball on the bed, unwilling to get up. After rolling about on the bed twice, she suddenly froze and instantly woke up. Then, she sat up to look at the spot next to her, only to find that Zuo Hancheng was gone. She combed her fingers through her hair and then shut off her phone¡¯s alarm. After getting out of bed, she opened the door and went out. Zuo Hancheng was not in the living room either. It was now past 6am in the morning. It turned out that what he said last night about him having a business trip to Los Angeles for two days was indeed true, and so was the early morning flight. The sense of freedom gave her a breath of fresh air. Anhao excitedly turned around and was about to sleep for two more hours in the bedroom before starting to arrange her various schedules today. Upon returning to the bedroom, before she could even lie down on the bed, a message notification sound came from her phone. Picking up her phone, she saw that the message was from Zuo Hancheng. ¡°It¡¯s Monday today, don¡¯t skip school.¡± ¡®Ah f*ck!¡¯ ¡®You¡¯re almost on the way to Los Angeles, and you still worry about whether I¡¯ll skip school or not!¡¯ Irritated, Anhao threw her phone on the bed. She intended to ignore him at first. Besides, there was absolutely no way he could control her since he was on the other side of the earth for two days. But in the end, like she was being probed by some unseen entity, or perhaps it was out of guilt, Gu Anhao reluctantly went to school. Since she had no plans to really listen to Zuo Hancheng at all, then why would she comply with his arrangements? In addition, he was not with her right now, so he could not control her. However, those night owl friends of hers were still sleeping in this brisk morning, and there was no one to accompany her. As such, she had no choice but to go to school and flirt with some handsome boys to pass the time. Anhao¡¯s school uniform was thrown into the bedroom. All the clothes here were those that Zuo Hancheng bought for her at the shopping mall, clothes she was not accustomed to. ¡®It¡¯s fine without anyone seeing what I wore the past two days.¡¯ Now Anhao was walking on the road, wearing a beige dress. And wherever she went, she could sense various strange looks around her setting their sights on her. ¡®I knew that this kind of feminine outfit is the ugliest! Zuo Hancheng and the salesperson¡¯s taste is crap! How dare they get me to wear clothes like this!¡¯ As she walked into the entrance of A High School, both the uncle and the security guard in the guardhouse suddenly had the windows opened, as they blatantly stared at her. She was used as a negative example by both her teacher and principal in front of the school from the very beginning, yet Gu Anhao never felt embarrassed by that. But now, she could not take their strange looks anymore and simply trotted back to her dormitory. With her habitual kicking in opening the dormitory door, she was about to retrieve her school uniform. The moment she entered, Chunchun spat out the mouthful of porridge she had in her mouth upon seeing her. ¡°Pfff¡­¡± Huang Amao was also staring at Anhao with a flabbergasted expression. ¡°What the f*ck! Gu Anhao, have you become a trans?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched fiercely. Lucky for them, no one was willing to live with them due to Anhao¡¯s ¡®renowned achievements¡¯ for the past few years. With only three of them living in a room of four, there was absolutely no one else to enjoy such an embarrassing scene. ¡°Trans? Can¡¯t you see I¡¯m wearing a skirt?¡± After entering the room, Anhao hurriedly rummaged through her stuff on her bed, looking for her school uniform. ¡°I didn¡¯t return during the weekend. So, did you two help me wash my school uniform? And where did you put it?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chunchun coldly glanced at the feminine-looking Anhao searching here and there on the bed, apparently trying to confirm that this really was Gu Anhao. ¡°My God! I thought that I was wrong. This white lotus who came out of nowhere dares step into our room?¡± Hearing Chunchun¡¯s description of her, Anhao turned around and headed over to sit beside the table. Seeing a lunch box on the table which they had prepared for her, she opened it and began to eat. Both the porridge and steamed buns were still hot. While taking a bite of the steamed bun, she said, ¡°Where¡¯s my school uniform?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see it.¡± Huang Amao pursed her lips. She then craned her neck and glanced at the dress on Anhao¡¯s body. ¡°This looks like Senwaroer¡¯s latest model this year. What happened? Is your dad being promoted as a governor or what? And how the hell did you get rewarded with such high-quality clothes? Really puts your reputation as the Gu family¡¯s little beggar to shame!¡± As for Chunchun, she scanned through her carefully. ¡°Why did you suddenly vanish before you finished taking shots last Friday night?¡± ¡°Where else can I go? That owner of Enchanting Bar, Huang Shiren, the Vampire, saw that I was not drunk yet. So, he let me deliver alcohol to our customers.¡± There was a bit of vagueness in Anhao¡¯s reply. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 ¡°Where the hell did you deliver the alcohol to? Our manager did not see you return and even suspected that you ran off with the money!¡± ¡°The five bottles of wine were worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan in total. Why the hell would I stoop so low as to take the money and run?¡± Knock! knock! From the door came a knocking sound. Anhao, being the nearest to the door, got up to open it. ¡°I heard that an unfamiliar female classmate came into this room just now, right in this very room here. So I came over to take a look. The school dorm does not allow¡­¡± The voice of the dormitory warden aunt came in the room the moment the door was opened. But when she saw Gu Anhao, her eyes widened and she stammered, ¡°Gu¡­ Gu Anhao?!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes. ¡°Aunty, you don¡¯t look so well. Why not retire soon?¡± Upon hearing this girl¡¯s blunt reply, the dormitory warden aunt was pissed off to the point where her face became contorted. The fine and extremely tidy skirt-wearing girl who she saw just now entering the room and was currently glaring at her. She thought that it was some random student from another school. Who knew it would turn out to be the tomboy, Gu Anhao, who always wore her school uniform inside out to the point where her figure was always hidden!¡¯ However, Gu Anhao did not look like a tomboy today. Her hair was not that long, but it had already grown below her ears. She was so clean and tidy that she looked like an obedient girl, and the dress she was wearing evoked a completely different style compared to how she was previously. Anhao left the dormitory warden aunt no chance to argue with her, and shut the door with a ¡®bang¡¯. From behind the door came her roaring, ¡°Gu Anhao, open the door this instant! Don¡¯t ever think I¡¯ll spare you with your tidy look today! Why did you not return to the dorm for three days?¡± Anhao ignored her and returned to her seat. ¡°Since my school uniform¡¯s missing, then I won¡¯t be attending class today. I¡¯ll just stay in the room.¡± ¡°You better don¡¯t! Rumor has it that our school has invited a guest professor from B University to have a meeting with the 3rd Graders here!¡± ¡°Yup, the President of Academic Affairs also made an announcement that no high school students are allowed to skip classes today.¡± ¡°What professor? This ain¡¯t a university. Why invite a professor?¡± ¡°No idea. Probably a guest professor from B University¡¯s Department of Finance. Aged 27, sounds like he¡¯s quite young. Apparently, this professor specializes in working in the finance firm of Yishi Group, sounds like he¡¯s a high-ranking figure too. How mysterious!¡± Anhao became absent-minded the moment she heard the name ¡®Yishi¡¯. All of a sudden, Anhao was whacked on the shoulder. She then saw Chunchun handing her a set of spare school uniform. ¡°You must have left your school uniform in the bar. It¡¯s too late for you to go retrieve it. So, wear mine first.¡± Anhao blankly received the school uniform from her. Chunchun, seeing that Anhao seemed to be a totally different person these days, could not help but say, ¡°And now back to topic, you actually look quite good in this kind of clothes. Come to think of it, why not you let your hair grow longer now?¡± Anhao looked at her and said, ¡°Spare me your compliments. When the hell did you ever see me being so feminine?¡± Huang Amao was chuckling beside them. ¡°Aren¡¯t you feminine right now? Not to mention, it matches your troubled face. Tut-tut, here we are thinking that Hanru possessed you.¡± The moment they mentioned Hanru, Anhao felt a bit nauseous and rolled her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t ever mention that ungrateful white lotus in my face.¡± ¡°Oh, you do remember that you saved the life of an ungrateful whelp. Hanru smeared your name a lot in school these two days!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because both the principal and the President of Academic Affairs knew that she went for a drink with those miscreants. She would surely not receive this year¡¯s Star Culture Award. That¡¯s why she¡¯s so pissed off to the point where she is speaking ill of you in front of everybody.¡± ¡°All those various gossips involving you for the past two days are spread throughout A High School like wildfire~¡± ¡°Hanru, that shameless b*tch. It¡¯s been two days since I last saw her. And I¡¯m gonna rip out her mouth if she crosses paths with me again.¡± Chunchun indignantly pushed Anhao, who was still standing beside her, aside. ¡°Hey, what the hell are you still standing there for? Hurry up and change your clothes. The professor will arrive at 10:30am, and look at the time now. What¡¯re you waiting for?¡± Anhao could only partly absorb whatever Chunchun and Amao were saying. It was because they mentioned that the professor was someone from the Yishi Group. ¡°Anhao?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Anhao was abruptly knocked back to her senses. ¡°Just hurry up and change your clothes. We¡¯re leaving.¡± ¡°¡­ Oh.¡± As they were going to be late, Anhao had no choice but to pull the school uniform Chunchun gave her over her dress before heading straight toward the lecture hall. The moment she took her seat, her cell phone rang, which turned out to be from the principal himself. ¡°Anhao, did you come to school today? Please come to the principal¡¯s office.¡± This surprised Anhao as she did not expect the principal to say ¡®please¡¯. Coincidentally, she planned to go to the principal¡¯s office. But by the time she stepped out of the lecture hall, she then suddenly saw a familiar figure coming out of a doorway not far from her. Anhao became abruptly stiff the moment that man raised his eyes. Then, she hid behind the emergency exit door next to her in a flash. By peeking at that slender figure through the slightly narrow door gap, all her memories from years ago swiftly flooded back. Many years had gone by. That man was still as towering and tall as she remembered. He had a wide figure which made people have an extreme peace of mind, while his calm and peaceful movements made him look warm and friendly. The young man, who was holding a speech draft while strolling along the hallway, obviously had a particularly handsome complexion with just a glimpse from the side. He was the one who Anhao once placed her whole belief in, and he was her life¡¯s purpose; the one who once guided her in her life. Anhao did not expect A High School to invite Yi Zeyang, who had returned to China a while ago, as a guest professor. And more to the point, Yi Zeyang got engaged after his return. Evidently, the Yi family planned to stay in A City for a while in order to expand their business. ¡®He should be busy with Yishi Group¡¯s business, not to mention taking the time to accompany his fianc¨¦e. What¡¯s he doing here anyway?¡¯ She saw that the man was walking toward the lecture hall. Beside the hall, a few teachers and the president were talking to him. Yi Zeyang gently nodded while listening to them, seemingly friendly and approachable. He was very attentive to whatever the school president was saying. Even when that man had finally vanished from the hall¡¯s entrance, Anhao remained frozen for a long time, clearly dazed and lost in her thoughts. ¡°Gu Anhao, what¡¯re you doing here?¡± Just then, a voice came from behind Anhao, startling her and causing her to abruptly turn around. The President of Academic Affairs was having a quick smoke below the stairs of the emergency exit. After which, he reached the top of the stairs just in time to see Gu Anhao bending over and looking out the door like a thief. Anhao got startled the moment she saw the President of Academic Affairs. Then, after smelling the cigarette smoke on the old man¡¯s body, she smiled cheekily. ¡°Mr. President, what¡¯re you doing just now?¡± Seeing that this girl was obviously trying to make things difficult for him, the President of Academic Affairs glared at her. ¡°The principal¡¯s looking for you. What¡¯re you waiting for?¡± Chapter 24 Chapter 24 ¡°Well, I was about to, but I saw the invited professor outside passing by. I fear that such a bad student like me would not only leave a very bad impression on him, but also taint A High School¡¯s good name. So, I thought that it¡¯s best for me to hide in here.¡± With a righteous look, Anhao resumed her speech, ¡°I¡¯m on my way to the principal¡¯s office now!¡± The corner of the President of Academic Affairs¡¯s lips twitched. That day in the police station, they did not react when they witnessed Zuo Hancheng taking the little girl away. After that, she vanished without a trace for three days. Until he finally caught her today. As he was preparing to ask about her relationship with Zuo Hancheng, Anhao opened the door and scurried out. ¡°Hey, Gu Anhao! You¡­¡± The President sprinted out of the door, only to see her already scurrying to the stairs on the other side like a rabbit, and then disappearing into thin air. But what was astonishing was that Gu Anhao was wearing a skirt today! On that girl¡¯s upper body was their school uniform, while her lower body was a skirt that was quite suitable for her age. ¡®Something must be wrong with my eyes.¡¯ On the other side, Anhao had already run up the stairs in order to avoid the President of Academic Affairs¡¯ nagging. Turning back, she saw that the President did not come after her, she then scampered toward the principal¡¯s office. As she sprinted into the principal¡¯s office, she saw the Xu family¡¯s parents sitting inside. Anhao¡¯s footsteps abruptly halted. Her face suddenly turned cold and desolate, and then she proceeded to turn around and walk away. ¡°Hey, Anhao!¡± Mrs. Xu stood up hurriedly. ¡°Anhao, Anhao, wait up!¡± Mr. Xu also came after her in a hurry. After reaching behind her, he politely spoke, ¡°Anhao, we just wanna talk about Mr. Zuo. Nothing else¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng said before that he would definitely not come to see these kinds of people. Therefore, she had absolutely nothing to discuss with them. ¡°Uncle, you saw the surveillance feed in the police station that day with your own eyes. So whatever happened between me and your sons should be settled already. If you still can¡¯t forget about how I beat them up, then you can discuss with the cops. Why are you looking for me here?¡± ¡°That was indeed on those blasted two sons of mine.¡± Mr. Xu, smiling politely, made a gesture toward the door of the principal¡¯s office. ¡°So, how about we discuss this inside?¡± ¡°Anhao.¡± The principal walked past her. ¡°Mr and Mrs Xu feel that they mistreated you in the police station that day, so they came here specially to apologize. There¡¯s nothing more to it.¡± ¡°Apologize?¡± Anhao sneered, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t they arrest a bad girl like me? How would I dare even accept their apology?¡± Mr. Xu apologetically smiled. ¡°Your father, Mayor Gu, is occasionally on good terms with us. Mr. Zuo has collaborated with us in the past too. And since we¡¯re all quite related in the world of commerce, it¡¯s better if you discuss about this with Mr. Zuo. Please don¡¯t make a mountain out of a molehill, alright?¡± ¡°And what the hell does that have anything to do with me?¡± Anhao glared at Mr. Xu.¡±Uncle, are you here because you¡¯re afraid that you offended Mr. Zuo, or you honestly wanted to give me a genuine apology?¡± The Xu family parents did not think that such a nineteen-year-old high school student like her would possess such a sharp, bright mind. Despite having seen so much in their life as adults, her behavior was making them rather tired. Mrs Xu, seeing the girl was totally unmoved, came over and pulled Anhao¡¯s hand with a smile, saying, ¡°Anhao, I went overboard that day because I lost my temper! Please don¡¯t take it personally! You see, our sons are almost the same age as you. So, we mean no harm to you because we¡¯re parents too! We just wanted to give you a scare that day, that¡¯s all! No harm intended!¡± Anhao, with a smile too, pulled her hands out of Mrs Xu¡¯s. ¡°Anhao, please don¡¯t be mad.¡± Realizing that she was not buying it, Mrs Xu hurriedly said, ¡°I know what I did was wrong too. I feel more and more uneasy the more I think about it. So why not let Uncle and Aunty buy you something, or treat you to a meal as a means of compensation? What do you like?¡± Anhao turned around to look at the principal, who was standing at the side without interrupting their conversation. ¡°Mr. Principal, what do you think? The parents of some random student came all the way here to blatantly offer gifts to a student like me.¡± The principal felt deeply ashamed. ¡°Anhao, they just want to apologize.¡± ¡°I want nothing from the two of you. If Uncle and Aunty here really do wanna apologize, then tell the entire school how in the hell the cops entered this place and took me away? ¡°We, we don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea¡­ We just wanted to treat both you and Mr. Zuo to a meal. You know, so all of us can have a talk, and settle this little misunderstanding here¡­¡± ¡°My apologies. Mr. Zuo may have brought the police and evidence to help prove my innocence last time, but he has no time for a meal with some random outsiders like you two. Since you two are here to apologize sincerely, then do whatever I ask. If not, then my apologies. I still have a lecture to attend to at the lecture hall, so I don¡¯t have time to be here with you.¡± While speaking, Anhao proceeded to leave. ¡°Hey, Anhao¡­¡± Mrs. Xu instantly grabbed her hand. ¡°We¡¯re really here to say sorry. As long as Mr. Zuo would not take the Xu family¡¯s tender documents away during F Government¡¯s year-end tender-opening event or inflict any pressure upon us, we¡¯ll do exactly as you ask!¡± ¡®Zuo Hancheng has such a powerful capability to obstruct the Xu family¡¯s business? No wonder they¡¯re so afraid of him.¡¯ However, for people like Zuo Hancheng, if they really had any real power, they would not be this mean toward those who were not at the same level as they were. Apparently, the reason why they were doing this was because they felt guilty, not to mention fear of having offended him. Anhao did not say a word. Her face was so dark to the point of being seemingly unforgiving. In the end, Mr Xu made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Fine. Since we made a grave mistake for putting you through so much, we¡¯ll apologize in front of everyone.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. She turned around to look at the principal who still did not butt in on their conversation. ¡°You heard that, Mr Principal? They want to make an apology, so there¡¯s no need for me to stop them.¡± After saying so, Anhao directly walked away without turning back. Watching Anhao¡¯s carefree silhouette, the principal shook his head as a sign of surrender. ¡®What a wild kid!¡¯ *** It took Anhao about fifteen or sixteen minutes to make a round trip to the principal¡¯s office. By the time she returned to the lecture hall, most of the teachers and students were already there. Anhao sneakily returned to her seat in a rush. Chunchun then turned around and asked, ¡°Did the principal give you problems?¡± ¡°Not at all.¡± Anhao chuckled. She then leaned on Chunchun¡¯s shoulder like a child. While laughing heartily, she said, ¡°Not only did he not trouble me, but this is also where the fun is about to begin!¡± Chapter 25 Chapter 25 At this moment, the President of Academic Affairs and several heavyweight leaders were talking on the stage. Everyone was silent, and so was Anhao. The only difference was that she did not clearly listen to whatever they were saying. Everyone started applauding, which caused her to raise her head in time to see Yi Zeyang appearing on the stage. He turned up in a well-cut suit just to give the students a lecture. Therefore, his style was quite low-key yet charming at the same time, while the gentleness and friendliness of his subtle smile on his handsome face was still there even after five years. This was definitely the man who once enlightened Anhao in her life¡¯s journey. There were thousands of students in A High School who already completely filled the lecture hall. And as usual, Anhao was sitting at the left of the back row to avoid being seen. Besides, her once long hair had been cut short, and she had changed from the princess he was proud of into the gangster she was now. So, he probably could not recognize her even if he saw her. ¡°Yi Zeyang was a gifted student who studied Business Finance in MIT at Boston, USA. Six months ago, he came back to inherit his family¡¯s business. And now, he¡¯s the general manager of YiShi Group, and the chief director of the company¡¯s financial investment and analysis firm. Let¡¯s give Mr. Yang a big round of applause¡­¡± As the applause continued to echo, Anhao¡¯s ears were buzzing and unable to hear a thing. The Yi Zeyang she once knew was a competitive high-score student, and his very existence was like a legend, being spread throughout various domestic high schools and universities. But now, he returned to China after furthering his studies in the United States for several years, and he was even more charming and calmer than ever. ¡°Hi students. My name is Yi Zeyang, and A High School invited me today¡­¡± He was somewhat carefree when giving his welcoming introduction, but numerous girls on the scene looked at the guest professor with twinkling, sparkling eyes, like all of them were cheering for a handsome guy. Anhao scratched her head and then looked down at her blank notebook. She could neither listen a single word nor jot down what she heard from him. ¡¯These idiots only knew that he¡¯s handsome and charming. Who would¡¯ve thought that he was already engaged a month ago.¡¯ In addition, his fiancee was the granddaughter of a general in some army, and could be counted as his equal and quite influential as well. Even the countless girls sitting here were not on par with her. So, for Anhao, no matter how good he was now, he was just a dream she had five years ago. Ever since she started joining the Gu family after leaving the Yi family, she and such a successful man like him were literally two worlds apart. He looked tidy and promising; as for her right now, she had already fallen into an abyss. ¡°Anhao! He¡¯s so freaking handsome!¡± Chunchun whispered beside Anhao while excitedly poking her arm non-stop: ¡°His voice sounds beautiful too!¡± ¡¯Of course he¡¯s handsome! When did I have a bad taste for boys? He¡¯s the Prince Charming who I had a crush on when I was little!¡¯ Anhao took a glance at Chunchun sideways: ¡°Will you stop poking me?! It hurts!¡± Chunchun¡¯s excitement wiped out at once and saw Anhao facepalming, not looking at the man on the stage at all. She then whispered in utter shock, ¡°Anhao, I thought you liked watching handsome guys the most. What¡¯s with you today?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched: ¡°So what? I¡¯m getting my period, so I¡¯m not in the mood to see, alright? So stop poking my arm, it hurts.¡± Seeing Anhao being a bit cranky, Chunchun rolled her eyes at her, ¡°You jerk off after getting your period? And you don¡¯t wanna see some handsome guy? Well then, your loss!¡± Huang Amao on the other side winked at Chunchun, signalling her to stop touching Anhao again: ¡®Something must be bothering Anhao, better not make things worse.¡¯ Chunchun saw Amao¡¯s line of sight and kept herself shut again. However, she still couldn¡¯t help but push Anhao¡¯s arm: ¡°He¡¯s truly goddamn handsome¡­¡± The man¡¯s voice in her ears was mellow. Anhao was angry not because of Chunchun, but because she could barely take this atmosphere anymore as her mind was filled with the past. With Chunchun poking Anhao again, she was like she reached her breaking point in a split second, irritably about to cover her head with her school uniform and take a nap. Noticing that Anhao unexpectedly got impatient with her, Chunchun¡¯s little heart suddenly broke: ¡°Gu Anhao, what the hell are you doing?!¡± In a panic, Chunchun forgot to control her volume. At a moment¡¯s notice, everyone in the silent lecture hall heard her voice. Then, they turned around to look at the ridiculous Chunchun, Anhao and Amao with strange expressions. ¡¯Gu Anhao¡­¡¯ The man who was speaking on the stage also stopped his voice in an instant. Upon hearing those three words, he gently folded the speech draft in his hand, raised his head and turned toward the direction of the voice. Knowing that she herself was screwed the moment Chunchun suddenly called her name out loud, Anhao panickly raised her head and looked around the hall. Witnessing the strange looks on the other students, she at last set her sights on the stage in a great flurry. The moment both her and Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes stared at each other, Anhao almost wanted to directly find somewhere to hide. Under the table, she instantly pinched Chunchun¡¯s hip, whispering while gnashing her teeth, ¡°Damn it, Chunchun! Now you¡¯ve done it!¡± Chunchun was baffled. But because something was seemingly off with Anhao, and now this, she was really panicked until she could not control her voice. At this moment, everyone witnessed that Yi Zeyang, standing on the stage, put down the speech draft in his hand and then silently looked at Gu Anhao. His originally carefree face suddenly gave out a subtle, gentle smile. Anhao hastily facepalmed. ¡°My God, he¡¯s so charming when he smiles! Look!¡± Chunchun whispered while dragging Anhao¡¯s sleeve non-stop. Anhao had never seen Chunchun this girlish before. She then instantly roared back and glared at her: ¡°Stop being so love-struck!¡± Chunchun stared at her without rhyme or reason. At the same time, she pointed her finger to the stage: ¡°But Professor Yi¡¯s looking at you!¡± Anhao had no choice but to put down her hand after stroking her forehead, and then lifted her head to see Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes again. The moment she looked at him, she was like she already saw herself in him. As his eyes displayed a warm look which made her feel familiar, she grinned with a stiff smile. ¡°Gu Anhao! Su Chunchun! Huang Mao! It¡¯s you three again!¡± From beside them came the voice of the President of Academic Affairs. They turned around, only to see the President of Academic Affairs had already sneakily headed up the stairs and stood beside the trio, staring at them. ¡°Can¡¯t you three not let me worry? I don¡¯t mind you joking around in school every day, but inviting Professor Yi to give a lecture to all you 3rd Graders is no easy task for us. So, would you do the principal a favour and try not embarrass yourselves? And don¡¯t be playful whenever you like!¡± After being taught such a lesson by the President of Academic Affairs, Anhao shot a glance at Chunchun and Huang Amao beside her. She witnessed that the two of them never gave a damn about him and ignored his stern expression at the same time. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 No one expected Chunchun to suddenly stand up, bow apologetically to Yi Zeyang, who was on the stage afar, and speak with a sweet voice, ¡°Sir! My name is Su Chunchun, you can ask me to go to your office later when you are done with the lecture! I promise I will behave!¡± Murmurs started spreading out from the silent lecture hall¡ªall of them looked shocked! She had actually teased a lecturer in front of the whole school! As expected from one of the female bully trio of A High! However, Mr. Yi who was being teased by the female student was unfazed. He was not frightened by the female student at all. His eyes first scanned Chunchun¡¯s face, and then shifted to Anhao who looked like she could not wait to disappear. Seeing that he was looking at Anhao, Chunchun maintained her eye-catching posture while reaching her hand down to drag Anhao up with all her might. ¡°Get up! Mr. Yi must¡¯ve seen you covering your head with your uniform just now! Apologize to the lecturer now!¡± Anhao could not stand her so she pushed her hand away. ¡°If you want to be a fangirl do it alone! Don¡¯t get me involved too!¡± Chunchun looked down and glared at her, looking shocked. ¡°Didn¡¯t we make a promise to tease handsome guys together? If you¡¯re not joining in at least back me up! The lecturer¡¯s looking at you! You better get up!¡± Huang Amao who was beside them could no longer stand it as he reached out a claw-like hand toward Anhao. Anhao was tickled by him, and she immediately jumped up instinctively. The entire lecture hall became noisier the moment Anhao stood up. Anhao gritted her teeth, she was put in a difficult position. She raised her line of sight to look at Yi Zeyang who had put down his notes. With a slight smile like a soft spring breeze caressing their faces, and a pair of gentle eyes, he waited patiently for an explanation from the two female students. Anhao could only bow apologetically to Yi Zeyang as she spoke monotonously, ¡°Sorry Mr. Yi, I shouldn¡¯t have fallen asleep when an older person like you is giving a speech.¡± ¡°Oh, Gu Anhao, how could you say that, how can you call Mr. Yi an old man when he¡¯s so young¡­¡± Murmurs and whispers were everywhere. Facing the countless taunts, for the first time, Anhao felt like she did not know how to fight back because the man on stage was staring at her. However, Chunchun courageously pulled her along with a face filled with sincerity as she said, ¡°My dear lecturer! I will definitely teach our Anhao a lesson! I promise you the next time you come to our school to give another speech, she will listen from the beginning until the end, she won¡¯t even try to blink!¡± More laughter roared from below. Anhao wanted to slap the foolish girl, Chunchun, so badly! Yi Zeyang chuckled. ¡°Your name is Anhao, huh?¡± When she heard Yi Zeyang¡¯s voice, AnHao quickly lifted her head. ¡°Let¡¯s have a chat in my office later.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chunchun seemed to be shocked as she turned her head to look at Anhao, but Anhao had already pulled her back down to her seat. ¡°Isn¡¯t Mr. Yi supposed to call me to his office to chat? Why did he call for you?¡± Chunchun angrily yanked Anhao¡¯s arm. ¡°What¡¯s going on with you today? You better explain yourself! Not only did you not help me out, you even held me back from flirting with the lecturer!¡± Anhao did not know what God or goddess she had just offended, she was just really unfortunate these past few days. ¡°What do you mean flirt? Why do u want to flirt with a man who¡¯s about to get married?¡± ¡°He¡¯s about to get married? How do you know that?!¡± The talk continued on as if nothing had happened, Yi Zeyang continued to deliver his speech to the third year students calmly in a serious and strict manner. Anhao rested her chin on her palm, her expression was bitter. She did not know how to answer Chunchun¡¯s questions, and did not know how to handle the situation she was about to face. An hour later, Anhao walked out of the lecture hall. Yi Zeyang was not a full-time lecturer at A High so his office was at a spare office which was on the same floor as the principal¡¯s office. When Anhao arrived at the office entrance, she did not see Yi Zeyang anywhere in the office. He should be having lunch with the other deans of the school at the moment so she wanted to leave and return in the afternoon. When she turned around, she was surprised to see that Yi Zeyang was already at the entrance. With a clearly shocked face, she staggered two steps backward. Despite seeing Anhao who looked like she had just gotten the shock of her life, Yi Zeyang was unperturbed. Without saying a word, he went straight into the office. Anhao stood frozen at the entrance as she looked at his back which was facing her. She watched him put down some documents on the office table, and she did not know whether to enter or not, but she then heard him say, ¡°Enter.¡± ¡°¡­¡± She could only summon all her courage and enter. She walked until she was two meters behind him and stood there. When the man in front of her turned around, Anhao hung her head low. She did not know how to face this person who she was reunited with after five years under such circumstances. ¡°Ms. Anhao, is there something on the ground that has caught your attention?¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s voice was mixed with slight amusement. Anhao realized that she had been looking down all this while so she quickly looked up. She saw that Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze had a glimmer of warmth but she felt a tinge of bitterness in her heart as she bit her lips subconsciously. She was speechless, and after a while she spoke with a soft voice, ¡°M-Mr. Yi¡­¡± Yi Zeyang held back his amusement. ¡°What did you call me?¡± Anhao¡¯s hands were behind her, and her fingers were laced together as she was feeling a bit tensed up. ¡°Mr. Yi¡­¡± Seeing Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze slowly turn cold, Anhao quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry about today, I wasn¡¯t planning on interrupting your speech, but my bestie and I are used to messing around, and we didn¡¯t realize that we had crossed the line, I hope you don¡¯t mind¡­¡± Seeing that she was still as stubborn as a mule, Yi Zeyang glanced at her short hair and decided not to push her any further. ¡°Have you eaten lunch yet?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Yi Zeyang did not mind her indirect rejection. He fetched his car keys on his office desk and walked out. ¡°Let¡¯s go get you some food first.¡± Anhao was rooted to the ground. ¡°No, I¡¯m really not hungry. If you don¡¯t have anything else to say I¡¯m going to leave now, my classmates are still waiting for me.¡± Yi Zeyang stopped in his tracks, he glanced sideways and shot her a look. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for five years and this is how you want to act and speak when with me?¡± Anhao looked down. ¡°Then, how should I speak to you?¡± Yi Zeyang seemed to understand her stubbornness all too well so he sighed. ¡°Then, think of this as you accompanying me for lunch? Okay?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been overseas for five years, and I¡¯ve just returned less than half a year ago, places with big changes in A City are so unfamiliar to me. If you don¡¯t plan on introducing me to a good place with good food, I¡¯ll just have to bring you to your school cafeteria.¡± Anhao could only obediently follow him. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s get some crayfish. There¡¯s one opposite the school, it just opened not long ago, and it has quite a good environment too!¡± Chapter 27 Chapter 27 The place Anhao suggested was just in the next street. They did not even have to take the car. All they had to do was cross two wide alleys to arrive at their destination so Anhao followed behind Yi Zeyang all the way there. When they arrived at the newly-opened seafood restaurant, he booked a room on the second floor near the windows. By the time they sat down, Anhao had not yet uttered a single word. She heard Yi Zeyang ordering a few dishes as she sat in silence. From crayfish to conch, and onto a few simple fried seafood dishes, they were all Anhao¡¯s favourites in the past. Even though she did not say anything, the dishes ordered were all to her taste. When the waiter asked her what she would like to drink, Yi Zeyang replied, ¡°Give her a glass of peanut milk.¡± ¡°Two bottles of beer.¡± Anhao suddenly opened her mouth. The waiter was stunned for a moment, and Yi Zeyang glanced at her. ¡°You¡¯re going to drink beer with seafood?¡± The waiter saw Anhao¡¯s student uniform¡ªit was obvious that she was still a student, but she did not dare to speak up so she looked at Yi Zeyang. ¡°Give her a bottle of mineral water.¡± The waiter left their table. Anhao did not insist on having beer either. The room reverted to silence once more. ¡°Anhao, it¡¯s still noontime, were you thinking of getting hammered with me?¡± Anhao smiled. ¡°Of course not, what I meant to say is that a drink like peanut milk no longer suits me. If you want to treat me to a meal you have to buy me beer. I¡¯ve already stopped eating those snacks that little girls eat.¡± Yi Zeyang could hear some rebellious elements in her words, but he ignored them and chuckled, ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that you¡¯re not a little girl anymore? You¡¯re only nineteen years old. No one knows what you were like in the past, but I do.¡± Even though the words were warm and thoughtful, in her ears, those words were painful¡ªlike blades cutting into her heart. ¡°The past is in the past, and the present is in the present. Do you not know that women can change significantly, Mr. Yi? I¡¯m no longer Anhao from the past.¡± The corner of Yi Zeyang¡¯s mouth turned upward slightly¡ªhe seemed to find something amusing. ¡°Indeed, I¡¯ve heard stories about A High mentioned by my friends in the school board while I was in B University, especially when they mentioned the quota for recruiting new students. They condemned a single peculiar student from A High, called Gu Anhao, as someone who is good-for-nothing. They also said that even if you¡¯re Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter, they would never allow you to enrol in B University. I¡¯ve heard more dramatic stories about you, Gu Anhao. How notorious you are.¡± Anhao kept silent. She did not expect a university like B University to even catch wind of her. How would she be able to mingle around with other people in the future? And most importantly, did Yi Zeyang already know that she was a student in A High before he was invited to A High? ¡°You¡¯ve really changed a lot, but whether or not you¡¯re still the Anhao from the past, I know that better than anyone else.¡± ¡°I heard that you¡¯re getting married.¡± It appeared that Anhao did not want to bring up anything related to her past. She looked up and looked straight into his eyes as she said with a smile, ¡°Originally, I ordered beer because I wanted to drink some with you to congratulate you on your marriage, and to wish that you and your fianc¨¦ will have a harmonious life together. Since you don¡¯t plan on letting me drink beer, mineral water will just have to do. After all, a small character like me wouldn¡¯t dare to visit the noble Yi and Gu family so I can only congratulate you in a small restaurant like this in secret.¡± She knew that Gu Shishi used Yi Zeyang¡¯s engagement to trick her last time¡ªshe told her that Yi Zeyang had something to pass to her. It was a lie made up by Gu Shishi. That was just a lie by Gu Shishi to trick her into attending the banquet, a trick that she fell for. However, Yi Zeyang¡¯s engagement was real. Her first sentence seemed to have frozen the atmosphere around them. Yi Zeyang slowly gathered his smile as his eyes went still. At the same time, a waiter knocked on the door and several waiters entered the room. They put a big tray of crayfish on the table, and a few more waiters came in to serve their dishes one by one. After they had left, Anhao poured some mineral water into a glass. She lifted the glass and said, ¡°Congratulations¡­¡± ¡°Anhao.¡± He interrupted her, his gaze locked onto hers. He reached out his hand, took the glass from her and put it aside. ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t congratulate me in such a formal and polite way. If I really do want to get blessings from you, I will definitely invite you to do so formally, and not do so here.¡± Anhao did not seem to understand. On the day of his engagement, even though the two families were not on friendly terms, the Gu family had still received an invitation out of courtesy¡ªbut Anhao¡¯s name was not on the invitation. Did that mean that he did not need her blessings for his engagement ceremony? Anhao chuckled in an unamused way. She retracted her hand, lifted the chopsticks on the table and started picking food from the dishes. Every dish on the table used to be her favourite. When they were little, Yi Zeyang would always use chopsticks to pick out the meat from the scallops and conches for her. He would even feed her prawns with the shells removed. Every time he did so, Anhao would playfully bite his fingers¡ªboth of them had so much fun. Unlike now, she had to be careful with every word she said. She was afraid that they would poke on something that they should not, afraid of hurting each other. And because of this, Anhao ate in total silence as she hung her head low. She stopped talking¡ªafraid that she would say more than she should to the point of no return. She would surely end up crying if she were to talk about the unspeakable feelings and sadness she felt. Everything she had buried deep within her heart for the past five years did not have a place in the world. If she were to allow even a trickle, it would turn into a waterfall of disastrous, pent-up feelings. Seeing the way Anhao was stuffing food down without caring about her appearance, Yi Zeyang was unfazed. He had seen her pulling all sorts of stunts intentionally and also her infamous stubbornness at play. He peeled a few prawns, put them on a plate and passed it to her. Anhao looked up and saw the plate of nicely peeled prawns on the plate that he had passed over. She was stunned for a moment. Instead of eating the prawns, she suddenly put her chopsticks down, stood up and wanted to leave. ¡°Anhao!¡± Yi Zeyang quickly stood up. She was fast, with a quick spurt she was at the door. She went down the flight of stairs to the ground floor and dashed straight out of the restaurant. ¡°Anhao! Stop!¡± ¡°Look out for cars!¡± Seeing that she was not even looking at the cars passing by and was crossing the road without caring for her own safety, Yi Zeyang was enraged. He quickly caught up to her, held out his arm and pulled her in as she was about to dash straight ahead with all her might. She struggled to get free as he held her firmly in place, and proceeded to pull her into a hug¡ªboth arms wrapped tightly around her as he buried her into his chest. ¡°Anhao! I¡¯m back! I¡¯m here in front of you! No one can hurt you anymore! No one would ever chase you out of the Yi family!¡± Suddenly, tears came pouring down as Anhao forcefully pummeled her fists against his shoulders. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s arms locked her into a tight hug, comforting her violent struggles. ¡°It¡¯s my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have left five years ago¡­¡± Anhao got tired from crying. She stopped struggling and sobbed feebly into his chest. ¡°My surname is Gu! It¡¯s Gu now! I¡¯m not related to you in any way!¡± Chapter 28 Chapter 28 He cupped her face and looked down at her eyes which had turned red from crying. ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, Anhao. I¡¯m back. No one can hurt you anymore. Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t hurt yourself like this.¡± Seeing the pain in his eyes, she pushed him away with her arms forcefully as she retreated a few steps back. ¡°You got engaged a month ago! You don¡¯t have any right to care about me! No matter what I become, it doesn¡¯t concern the members of the Yi family!¡± Her eyes were distant. Yi Zeyang did not go near her any more, in case she stepped back to the roadside where it was dangerous. He only said, ¡°My engagement is just a business marriage for the Yi family with my return. I have the final say on whether I get married or not! This has nothing to do with what we¡¯re talking about right now.¡± How did it have nothing to do with it? If it had nothing to do with it, she would not have gone to work at a bar selling alcohol. It was all because she found out that he was engaged! She would not have been so stupid to fall into Gu Shishi¡¯s trap and gotten humiliated! She would not have gotten married to a stranger accidentally the next day! She would not have escaped from Yi Zeyang¡¯s world completely! Even though Anhao had definitely changed a lot, she had been smart and clever since she was young. She would never go to extremes, even though she was emotional right now she would not go overboard. Yi Zeyang was rather worried that something would happen to her being so emotional, after all they were right beside the road. He could only speak calmly, ¡°Anhao, let¡¯s talk some place else. Before I went abroad five years ago, the thing you told me about¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to talk about, Mr Yi. This is near A High, please act more appropriately.¡± Anhao did not dare to think about the past. She interrupted him¡ª afraid to look at his face. She turned around and walked toward A High. No matter what Yi Zeyang had experienced for the past five years, and what the Yi family had explained to him about the mother and daughter leaving. No matter how much she liked this man in the past, from the night he got engaged a month ago, everything had changed. Yi Zeyang did not chase after her. He stared at her going toward A high and not running elsewhere. Just like when they were young, when she was being immature and fooling around, he would sternly lecture her. He would let her walk alone, give her some peace and quiet so she had time to reflect and think things through. What Yi Zeyang did not know was, his Anhao no longer had the freedom to think nor choose. *** The weather in November was incredibly chilly when it rained. Chunchun and Huang Amao were in their room and had called Anhao several times but no one answered. The sky had turned dark. She was gone for the whole afternoon and had yet returned. Just as they were about to go out to find her, the door swung open and they saw Anhao, who was soaked by the rain, entering the room like a ghost. Anhao was drenched from head to toe¡ª it was obvious that she had been in the rain for a long time. Her face that was palm-sized was pale-white from the cold. She did not even care about the water dripping of her body as she dived into her bed. Huang Amao and Chunchun ran toward her and dragged her up. They knew that she was feeling under the weather for the past few days, clearly something was wrong. The two did not say anything as they quickly took off her clothes. Finally, they brought in two towels and wrapped them around her body, and pulled her up so that she was seated on the edge of the bed. Anhao was speechless when it came to Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s relentless questioning. She closed her eyes¡ªher pale face expressionless as she merely lay on bed. With towels wrapped around her, she pulled up her blankets and curled under it as she shivered. ¡°Let¡¯s leave it. Don¡¯t ask her anything.¡± Huang Amao realized that she was not going to talk as she sat beside her bed. ¡°We¡¯ve known her for more than three years now. This gal has always been laughing at us, when was she ever like this?¡± ¡°When Mr Yi called Anhao¡¯s name today, I knew that something was wrong so I searched up about Yi Zeyang online just now. After reading about him online, I recalled that before Anhao returned to the Gu family, her mom married someone else. That person¡¯s surname was Yi. Anhao mentioned it before, don¡¯t you remember?¡± Chunchun listened closely and her memory was jogged. ¡°Are you kidding me¡­¡± *** Anhao¡¯s surname was not Gu. Her mom¡¯s name was Anping so initially her surname came from her mother. Her mother, Anping, used to be an intern working in the business administration department under F government. After she graduated from university, she met Gu Tianming who used to be the mayor in another city. She was attracted to Gu Tianming¡ªbecause she had little social experience and was na?ve, she did not expect Gu Tianming to be a married man. She went ahead bravely for love and was together with him for two years. After Anping found out Gu Tianming had a wife and kids, she rejected all the hundreds of thousands worth of cheque that was given to her by Gu Tianming to silence her and quickly cut ties with him. However, a month after they broke up, Anping realized that she was pregnant. The child in her womb had taken on a shape. It was a healthy baby and she could not bring herself to abort it. Anping was charming and she had a great personality. Not long after, she caught the attention of the president of Yishi Group, Yiwei, during an occasional business collaboration. At that time, she was already five months pregnant. There was no way she could hide it. Yiwei eventually found out about her secret but accepted her pregnancy because of his crazed feelings for her that kept growing. He promised that he would help her take care of the child, so he allowed her to give birth to the child. The president of Yishi Group, Yiwei, had a seven or eight-year-old son at that time. His wife passed away due to an illness. Yiwei¡¯s son, Yi Zeyang, was well-behaved. Anping loved the warm atmosphere in the Yi family and was slowly influenced by Yiwei. Just like that, she married into the Yi family with Anhao in her belly¡­ Everything was happy and peaceful just as Anping imagined. After Anhao was born, the Yi family took great care of her. When Anhao started to learn how to walk and talk at the age of one, she did not really like to follow her mother or Uncle Yi around, instead she kept pestering the eight-year-old Yi Zeyang. Even her first word was not ¡°mother¡±, but ¡°brother¡±. Yi Zeyang was a child who performed outstandingly in his academics since he was young. His appearance was especially striking, and he was a humble, warm and polite person. He also loved his sister, Anhao, very much. Anhao who had been following Yi Zeyang for years was a princess in the household¡ªa precious child to Yi Zeyang. Anhao was very obedient when she was a child, and under Yi Zeyang¡¯s influence, her academic results were great too. Yi Zeyang also often tutored her. The year Anhao turned fourteen, Yi Zeyang was twenty-two. The Yi family¡¯s business needed an heir, so he had to go abroad to study about finance and business management. That was a once-in-a-lifetime separation that they had to face. At that time, Anhao innocently said that if she were to get first place all year it would be the best gift for Brother Zeyang before he went abroad. And she did. It was her first year in junior high school. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 After Yi Zeyang smoothly went abroad, Yiwei suddenly changed his attitude toward the mother and daughter. Not long ago, he found out who Anhao¡¯s biological father was. In those two years, the Yi family broke off their agreement with the F government due to some real estate business problems. They were mortal enemies with the Land Bureau Manager, Gu Tianming, at that time, and because of many other reasons, the Yi family could not allow the mother and daughter to stay. They even suspected that they were the reason that the business in the Yi family was not doing as well¡ªthat Anping was a spy sent by Gu Tianming. In those few years, the city¡¯s business and administration world were in deep distress. Everyone could barely look out for themselves and were cautious of everyone around them. Anping was forced to divorce Yiwei, and the mother and daughter were chased out of the Yi family. At that time, Anhao did not know that her life would have such a big change. She only remembered one day, after her mom came back from the hospital, her face was pale, as if she was gravely ill. She did not understand what was written on her mother¡¯s diagnosis, she could only pick out some words such as ¡®malignant¡¯ and ¡®tumor¡¯. After that, her mother suddenly brought her to the Gu family. She revealed the truth to Gu Tianming and asked him to take his daughter in, but he refused. After a few days of negotiation, Gu Tianming still would not admit that he had an illegitimate child which was Anhao, until Anping took Anhao to the Gu family with a DNA testimonial. She forced Gu Tianming to raise her daughter, at least until she graduates from university. Anping was just there to discuss the terms. She wanted Anhao to have a home to return to, but Mrs Gu and Gu Shishi both were also in the house at that time. All hell broke loose in the Gu family. As Anping tried to reason with Gu Tianming upstairs, Gu Tianming, who was utterly livid and humiliated, accidentally pushed her down the stairs. That day, the fourteen-year-old Anhao blankly stood downstairs. She saw her mother come tumbling down the stairs, and saw blood dripping from her head with the DNA testimonial tightly gripped in her hands until her very last breath. In the end, Anping used her own life in exchange for Gu Tianming¡¯s acknowledgement of their blood relation. To hide his accidental murder, he had no choice but to let Anhao stay. From then on, Anhao became Gu Anhao. The cute and obedient little princess slowly became who she was in the present. *** The next day, Anhao caught a high fever because she was under the cold rain for two hours the day before. As such, she finally took sick leave and slept in bed all day. Chunchun and Huang Amao brought her some medicine and minced meat porridge when they returned in the afternoon, but she seemed to be suffering from high fever. She could not eat anything and even threw up after two bites. ¡°Let¡¯s just go to the school infirmary.¡± Huang Amao could not watch any longer. Anhao shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t wanna go.¡± After saying so, she went back under her blanket. Chunchun brought her some warm water and said, ¡°By the way, since you didn¡¯t go to class today, you might¡¯ve missed a really big thing, Anhao.¡± ¡°Yeah, she¡¯s right. Today, the two Xu bastards¡¯ parents broadcasted their apology to you and also explained about you hitting their sons! When did you have such a persuasive power? I can¡¯t believe they¡¯re apologizing to you in front of everyone without caring about their reputation. This is a miracle.¡± Who else would have this much power? That man, Zuo Hancheng, had almost all of the Xu family¡¯s business in his palms. She did not think that the parents of the Xu family would really apologize in front of everyone. Since they were willing to apologize now, then she did not need to wonder what Zuo Hancheng¡¯s identity was. It was clearly apparent that she had, with all the luck and coincidence in the world, met a final-level boss. One who had solved everything in such a cool and swift manner. At night, Anhao did not even have the strength to stand up. Everything was spinning and she felt nauseated. This was the first time in her life her fever had gotten so serious, but it was all her own fault. She knew that it was raining but she still paced in the cold rain for so long. She planned to clear her mind but she ended up getting sick. All she felt right now was a lifetime of regret for having done that. Chunchun went downstairs with the excuse of buying medicine for her. After a short while, she came back with a few boxes of medicine in her hands. ¡°That fast?¡± Amao asked. Chunchun looked at Anhao who was lying on the bed. ¡°When I went out, I coincidentally met Mr Yi. After I told him about your condition, he gave me these medicines.¡± After hearing Chunchun¡¯s explanation, Anhao turned to look at her. ¡°I knew you would blabber.¡± The corner of Chunchun¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Please, I was doing you a favour. Mr Yi directly called his assistant to buy medicine outside the school and bring them over. It cost me nothing to bring them to you. Mr Yi also said¡­¡± She saw Anhao turn pale to the point where she almost looked transparent, and she continued, ¡°If Anhao¡¯s condition worsens at midnight, and if she insists on not going to the hospital, he wants me to give him a call and we will carry you out. He said that he¡¯ll bring you to the hospital.¡± Anhao closed her eyes. Geez, this love-struck idiot Chunchun, she was so unreliable! ¡°If it weren¡¯t for him being the lecturer that was invited to our school recently, even if the dorm lady didn¡¯t allow any men to enter the female dorm, I think he would still take you away directly. Of course, Mr Yi hopes that rumors won¡¯t spread because of such a thing, so he will wait for you downstairs at the dorm.¡± Anhao was unwilling to listen further. She turned around and buried herself in her bed, once again turning into a hermit, covering herself with her blanket. *** The next day, Anhao¡¯s fever had gone down a little, but it was still near thirty-nine degrees. She insisted on not going to the school infirmary and was also unwilling to go to the hospital. She claimed that she was just fighting against the virus and there was no need to go to the hospital. And so she dragged it on for another day. Until the sky had turned dark, Anhao then finally woke up. She opened her eyes and looked outside at the sky. She realized that Chunchun and Huang Amao did not rest properly just to look after her, so she decided to recuperate in another place. After all, she had the keys to Liujing Gardens. Zuo Hancheng had yet to return from abroad so she planned to go back. After an hour, Anhao was out of the school. The moment she walked out of the school gate, she suddenly heard someone¡¯s voice behind her. ¡°Oh, if it isn¡¯t Gu Anhao? Didn¡¯t see you in class these few days. What happened? Looking for another backer to support you? Is it so natural for you to skip classes?¡± Hearing the voice, Anhao turned back and saw the two little bastards, Xu Guanda and Xu Chengjun. She rolled her eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t your parents broadcast their apology in front of the whole school for you? What¡¯s wrong? You guys haven¡¯t had enough of my beating, huh?¡± ¡°F*ck you. Let me tell you something, Gu Anhao. You don¡¯t even look like a girl. Did it feel good forcing and shaming my parents in school?¡± Anhao turned around disapprovingly. Her head was spinning and she felt nauseous. She did not plan to reason with them anymore. When Gu Anhao walked to the side of the road and was about to take the bus, Xu Guanda and Xu Chengjun glared intently at her. Revenge flashed across their eyes as they sneered. They turned around, made a call and spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Hello? Gu Anhao took bus no. 9. I don¡¯t know which direction she¡¯s going toward. You guys keep an eye on her. We¡¯ll get her tonight.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if she will still act so arrogantly tomorrow! Wasn¡¯t she able to save Hanru? Let¡¯s see how she¡¯s gonna get herself out of this now!¡± Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The weather was too cold after Anhao stepped out from the bus so she wrapped her school uniform tightly around her. Liujing Gardens was a bit further away from A High so she had to change buses. She planned to walk to the bus station on the other side through a small alley. The nights during winter were dark, and the streetlights in the small alley were broken. She turned on the flashlight on her phone. As she was walking, she felt that something seemed off. She did not turn to look back immediately. She sensed that a car was following her since the beginning. After that, a few people climbed out from the car but they were still following her. She quickened her pace, her plan was to first walk out of the small alley. Nothing would happen to her if she could just make it to the road in front where there were lots of people, but she suddenly felt that the people behind her were closing in on her. Strange! Why were there people going after her? As she was walking, she was clutching onto her phone tightly. She was considering whether or not to call for help but if she were to try doing that, those people would definitely do something to her. In her moment of hesitation, the people following her started to approach her, at the same time, her phone started ringing. She looked down and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name on the display! She quickly answered the call, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± She did not think that Zuo Hancheng would ask her so directly after two to three days abroad without contacting her. Anhao lifted her head and saw the road sign not far ahead while being cautious about the people behind her. The road sign had three words on it, ¡°Wangjiang Road¡±. ¡°I¡¯m at Wangjiang¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, someone suddenly threw themselves on her back with great force. Her phone was also taken away. Anhao staggered after being jumped on. Her head spun dizzily and she could no longer stand on her own two feet. She fell with a loud thud and collapsed against the wall in the small alley. Her shoulder was throbbing from the fall she suffered. ¡°Little b*tch! You were going to call someone!¡± Anhao looked up and saw a bald man with black clothes going near her. He yelled furiously as he violently smashed her phone to the ground. The moment the phone screen was shattered, the screen blacked out. Anhao was stunned for a moment. She then looked up toward the bald guy and tried to keep her composure. ¡°Who are you people?¡± ¡°Why do you need to know? I heard that you¡¯re pretty amazing, b*tch. You beat my two little brothers up in the bar, after that you even taught their parents a lesson. How arrogant of you!¡± After hearing his words, Anhao¡¯s expression changed. They were gangsters sent by the two little bastards of the Xu family! If it were the usual Anhao, she could escape from this small alley with her Taekwondo moves and run to the road with loads of people so as to escape from them. However, she did not even have the strength to stand up right now. She could only force herself to glare straight at them with a wane face. The gangsters sneered with an evil expression as they walked nearer toward her, she suddenly bent down and dodged the first guy who was about to greet her with his hand. She forcefully bumped into him with her shoulder and turned to run. ¡°F*cking b*tch!¡± The bald guy clutched his stomach in pain after she bumped into him. He looked back at his lackeys behind him and ordered them to seize her. Anhao only managed to run a few steps ahead before she stumbled because her body was weak. The few young men took the chance, grabbed her by the collar, and slammed her onto the wall with all their might. Her body once again collided with the wall with great force. She looked up and spoke sternly, ¡°Let me warn you! Don¡¯t think only the two Xu brats know gangsters like you! I also know a few like you! You better watch out! If you dare do anything to me, I¡¯ll rip your arm off next time I see you!¡± ¡°Oh my! Little b*tch is pretty spicy! I like it! I heard from my two little brothers you¡¯re not that young anymore. You¡¯re also a high school student. Have you ever slept with a man? How about we let you experience how paradise feels like for once?¡± Anhao¡¯s heart tightened. She carefully observed the two ends of the small alley. They were at the exact halfway point of the alley, both sides were far from her. The people passing through outside the alley could not see her situation because it was too dark. She had no way of asking for help. Her phone was smashed. She pretended to massage the pain on her shoulder as she looked at the sneering man who once again was about to pounce on her. Then, she suddenly dodged him. The bald guy missed her again. His face instantly turned cold and he looked back angrily at her. Anhao scoffed, ¡°Do you think yours truly is a weak little flower that you can pick on any way you like? You want me? Maybe in your next life!¡± ¡°Motherf*cker!¡± The bald guy was angered after seeing her sharp expression. He waved his hand and his lackeys behind him came rushing over. They pinned down Anhao who was completely outnumbered. At the same time, he grabbed her hair and forced her to look at him. He tapped her on the face twice. ¡°You better believe I can f*ck you up!¡± Anhao looked away. She did not have the strength to struggle. She could only see the bald guy holding out his hand and was about to tear off her uniform. ¡°You really think you¡¯re invincible, huh? Let me show you what I¡¯ve got!¡± ¡°Get off! Don¡¯t touch me!¡± As he squinted lustfully and got closer to her, Anhao cursed at him and also spat at him at the same time. The bald guy¡¯s expression darkened. He lifted his leg and kicked her in the stomach. ¡°F*ck you! You dare spit on me, you f*cking b*tch!¡± Anhao who was kicked instantly escaped from the men. She retreated two steps backward and collapsed against the wall. A blunt pain pounded in her stomach. She lifted her hands and covered her stomach. She gritted her teeth and wanted to turn and run. ¡°Pin her down! Take off all her clothes!¡± The few men once again rushed toward her and dragged Anhao¡ªher uniform spread open in a disarrayed manner. Anhao could not struggle against them. She shouted and used up her remaining strength but was still dragged back by them. ¡°F*cking b*tch¡­¡± The bald guy undid his belt and walked directly toward her. Seeing this, Anhao¡¯s heart pounded fiercely. She was afraid that she was truly going to be defiled by these brutes, yet she could not escape from their clutches. She shouted angrily, ¡°Bastard! Let me go! Go away!¡± Suddenly, a deafening sound of a car skidding came from the end of the small alley. The gangsters subconsciously looked up toward the end of the alley. They saw a car parked over there and a silhouette climbing out from the car. Their expressions shifted. Why would anyone park their car in this place? Anhao who was struggling did not see what was happening at the end of the alley. She suddenly bit the bald guy¡¯s hand which was about to reach her chest. The bald guy screamed and viciously slammed her onto the ground. Anhao felt all the wind knocked out of her, making her even dizzier than she was. She could not even muster any strength. She lay limply on the ground as her eyes lost focus. ¡°Boss! That guy is coming over here!¡± Their panicked voices rang in her ears. Chapter 31 Chapter 31 The bald guy looked up to the direction of the end of the alley. All he could see was a tall figure walking over, the target was obviously the place they were at. Not only that, it seemed like they came prepared. His instincts told him that something was wrong so he stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The group of people quickly escaped to the other end of the alley. Anhao struggled to sit up but there was no energy left in her. She did not know what had happened. Suddenly, the figure walked to her side. That person took off their coat and wrapped it around her frail frame that was curled up on the floor due to the cold. After doing so, the person held her by the waist and lifted her up. Anhao¡¯s gaze was blurry for a moment. She was stunned as she stared at Zuo Hancheng who had appeared within her view so suddenly. ¡°You¡­ how¡­¡± She was slightly shocked. Zuo Hancheng was calm and collected. He did not say a word as he carried her firmly in his arms, turned around and exited the alley. Anhao leaned onto his chest absent-mindedly as she did not know what was going on. She suddenly heard sounds of a fight and screams coming from behind at the other end of the alley. The wailing and howls became more and more miserable. She did not know what kind of people Zuo Hancheng had come with, or what method he planned to use against them. She was in utter confusion, and was even thinking that she might be dreaming. The clean, masculine scent of this man made her drowsy. She was even feeling calm and composed, like her entire heart was about to drop to the ground. The girl in his arms was burning up. Both her cheeks were red from her fever. Zuo Hancheng was not bothered with words, all he did was carry her into the car. Mobai, who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, saw President Zuo carrying a girl in uniform into the car. He was confused, but he did not dare to ask questions. Anhao slowly blacked out, but she knew that Zuo Hancheng had carried her into the car. The composed feeling made her drowsy. The first thing she could hear coming from him was his deep and placid voice saying, ¡°Mobai, to the hospital.¡± Along the way, all Anhao could feel was the warmth emanating from him as she rested in his arms. Even though she knew that this person was Zuo Hancheng, she was somehow attached to the warmth this man was mysteriously exuding, wrapping her whole. She did not know how much time went by. After she was carried into the hospital while still confused and dazed, she collapsed into a deep sleep after two continuous days of high fever. *** The way Anhao slept when she was ill was truly something. Zuo Hancheng entered the ward through the door. A nurse was holding an infusion bottle and a needle as she said, ¡°Mr Zuo, the lady you brought in is so difficult to treat. Her fever has been running for days. She should not have any strength at all with that fever of hers, but she is still able to curl up like a ball. I can¡¯t find a way to turn her over. How am I supposed to give her an injection with this sleeping posture of hers¡­¡± The nurse complained about Anhao¡¯s peculiar sleeping posture as she observed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. Every time she saw this Mr Zuo, she could not help but blush as her heart beat faster. This time, she called him over because she could not give an injection, but truthfully there were selfish motives behind her actions. Zuo Hancheng stared at Anhao who was lying on the sickbed. After the girl was admitted into the hospital, the doctor diagnosed her illness as a viral infection. It became even more serious after she exposed herself to the cold. As such, the doctor suggested not giving her any injections to bring down her fever for now. Just like that, after two days of physical cooling and monitoring her temperature, not only was there no sign of her temperature going down¡ªher condition had instead worsened. She was even mumbling while dreaming in her sleep. He had just returned to the country and was looking after the girl in the hospital for the past two days. He had certainly seen her peculiar sleeping posture. He saw Anhao curled up in the blanket in some sort of a defensive posture. Her face was pale, eyes shut tight and her hands covering her chest, as if this was the safest posture. However, her brows that would furrow from time to time proved that she was not at ease in her dreams. ¡°Mr Zuo, Ms Gu¡¯s temperature has not gone down yet. I¡¯m afraid she would contract inflammation so I want to give her an IV drip for the next two days. Now that she¡¯s sleeping in such a posture, I¡¯m being put in a tight spot here¡­¡± The nurse muttered. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the nurse¡¯s expression. He did not say anything as he walked to Anhao¡¯s side and pulled the corner of the blanket. He sat at the edge of the bed and scooped up Anhao who was curled up and lying sideways. Even when the girl was weakened from the fever, she was still stubborn when sleeping. She maintained this curled up pose and did not move an inch. She was forced into his arms but her legs were still curled up, her face was stuck closely to his chest and her eyes shut tight. The way this man just scooped up the patient was so smooth and domineering. The nurse could not help but stare at the man¡¯s handsome face as she blushed and her heart started beating faster. The man was so handsome! Just how much good fortune did the young lady on the bed have to gather from her past lives to be able to land such a man! She was so envious! ¡°Why are you still standing there?¡± Zuo Hancheng grabbed her hands which were rigidly covering her chest and pulled her hand outward for the nurse. ¡°Inject here.¡± ¡°Ah, okay¡­¡± The nurse blushed and awkwardly walked over. After hanging the drips, she carefully bent down to inject Anhao. However, since she was being stared at by such a handsome man in such close proximity while she was injecting, she felt suffocated. The nurse was so nervous that she failed to find the target twice. Anhao, who was still talking in her dreams, instinctively tried to pull her hand back. Her voice croaked as she moaned, ¡°Ouch¡­¡± When Anhao groaned in confusion with her eyes closed, it looked as if she was about to cry as well. Zuo Hancheng immediately glared at the nurse. ¡°Do it properly. If you can¡¯t do your job, get someone else to do it.¡± The nurse pursed her lips. She did not dare to look at the man¡¯s face as she was afraid she would make herself even more nervous. She pricked the needle once more for the last time and finally got the right vein. After putting on the plasters on the needle, she then retreated. After having escaped from the cold stares from the man, she felt as if she was being revived from the dead. ¡°Mr Zuo, there are three bottles of this medicine in total. She needs to have the drip for about two hours.¡± The nurse recollected herself and said. ¡°Alright.¡± Zuo Hancheng steadily held Anhao¡¯s hand in his and put it back in front of her chest. He then patted her curled up body gently, his voice clear and calm. When the nurse walked out of the ward with her broken heart, Mobai just so happened to bring some documents over. He opened the door and saw his boss sitting at the edge of the bed, hugging the girl who was in deep sleep. He was actually holding her in his arms as she got her drips in. Mobai was slightly surprised. Ever since Ms. Rong left that year, so many years had gone by. How many years had it been since President Zuo took the initiative to approach a woman? And how many years had it been since President Zuo treated a woman so patiently¡­ Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Mobai hesitated for a moment and walked toward them with documents in his hands. He saw the girl leaning on his chest without a clue what was going on in the world¡ªshe was still sound asleep. He opened his mouth and uttered in a hushed voice. ¡°President Zuo, there¡¯s news from the police. You were right. Those gangsters were sent by members of the Xu family. It seems that their sons were in cahoots with some gangsters outside of the family. When they confessed at the police station, they said that they received money from the two sons of the Xu family to teach Ms. Gu a lesson.¡± Zuo Hancheng held Anhao¡¯s hand which was hooked up to the drip, and with the other hand, he took the documents from the police station handed over by Mobai. After he was done reading the records of the testimonies, he said calmly, ¡°The Xu family? I didn¡¯t plan to remember small characters like them. The business world is a volatile one, since they handle things without a sense of propriety, they will be eliminated sooner or later. They were not even worth my time nor effort. However, they did a good job raising two good sons. How dare they touch my person.¡± It had been a long time since President Zuo¡¯s calm voice had turned so cold. Mobai¡¯s expression was solemn and he remained silent as he stood humbly at the side of the bed. ¡°President Zuo, I¡¯ve asked that the police handle the situation accordingly. Those gangsters were not only crippled, they won¡¯t be walking out from prison, ever.¡± As he said so, Mobai suddenly took out his phone and checked it. He then continued on, ¡°The Xu Real Estate tried to take a share out of several construction auctions. They also bribed the F Government quite a lot this year, and it seems like they are hoping that their business will skyrocket by the end of the year.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dashing eyebrows moved slightly and he glanced at Mobai. ¡°You know what to do.¡± Mobai nodded. ¡°Yes. Be rest assured, President Zuo. I will make Xu Real Estate disappear from A City within a week. I will also ensure that the Xu family pack their bags and leave with their sons, as far away as possible. If they dare do anything stupid, I will ensure that they truly learn a lesson. You will not need to handle this small matter personally, President Zuo.¡± The way Mobai handled things had always reassured Zuo Hancheng. He glanced at the documents in his hand once again and put them on the table beside the bed. As Anhao was in that dreamland of hers, she would unconsciously withdraw her hand that was in his. He tightly gripped onto her hand to prevent her pale little hand from being pricked by the needle. At the same time, he pulled up the blanket that had fallen to her waist, covering up to her shoulders. *** Anhao was almost shocked to death when she woke up at midnight. She was sleeping in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms! She tried to calm herself down, and she looked around to analyze her surroundings. She could tell from her surroundings that she was in a patient¡¯s ward. She looked down and saw that there was a medical tape on the back of her palm, most probably from an injection. The pain in her throat felt unbearable and her head was still throbbing. The memories from before she fainted flooded into her head. She furrowed her brows and lifted her hand, wanting to massage her head which felt like it was going to explode. In the end, as soon as she moved, Zuo Hancheng, who had initially wanted to rest for a while, opened his eyes. ¡°You¡¯re up?¡± Hearing his voice coming from above her head, Anhao instantly stiffened up. At the same time, she felt him release his hold on her shoulders and leave the bed. He adjusted the pillow and supported her so that she could lean on it. Anhao stared at the shirt he was wearing. The high-quality shirt had some faint wrinkles on it, clearly he had been holding her as she was sleeping¡ªfor quite some time too, by the looks of it. She could not help but curse deep down. This man would not go as far as to take advantage of her even when she almost died from a fever, would he? The moment he helped her lean back comfortably, their eyes met. From that brief glance, he seemed to have been able to read the nonsensical thoughts that were running through her head. Zuo Hancheng looked at her placidly and said, ¡°When you were sleeping, you kept curling up on your sides, the nurse was not able to give you your injection so I had to hold you.¡± ¡°Why are you explaining yourself? I didn¡¯t say that you did anything to me. You explaining yourself proves that you¡¯re feeling guilty about something.¡± Anhao muttered but because of her fever, her throat was slightly inflamed, resulting in that duck-like croak. She immediately shut her mouth after she opened it. ¡°After having slept for days, you must have lots of energy now to bicker with me, huh?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a rather grim smile on his face. ¡°Where¡¯d all that smugness go when you were pinned down by those gangsters?¡± The corner of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She could not help but mutter under her breath once more, ¡°Just because you didn¡¯t see it doesn¡¯t mean it didn¡¯t happen, when you rushed over I was already dead tired¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her explanation. ¡°I contacted your school. Someone got in touch with the two students in your dorm room. They said that you were under the rain for almost two hours a few nights ago.¡± Anhao¡¯s face stiffened and she silently grinded her teeth. ¡®Huang Amao and Chunchun, you two idiots! Why did you give them whatever they wanted?!¡¯ ¡°Gu Anhao. In my eyes, even though you¡¯re immature, you would not be unreasonably immature.¡± The look Zuo Hancheng was giving her was one that seemed to be a total re-evaluation of her as a person. He said coldly, ¡°Have you no idea how cold A City is right now? Being in the rain like that? Aren¡¯t you someone who doesn¡¯t even see herself as a woman? Why would you even do something so unreasonable? ¡®Motherf*cker!¡¯ Even though this man saved her just in the nick of time after coming back from abroad, his words did not have to be so vicious to the point where she was about to go ballistic! She had just woken up after all. Anhao was so angered that she rebutted, ¡°You¡¯re unreasonable! Your whole family¡¯s unreasonable! How am I unreasonable just from being under the rain?¡± ¡°Why were you under the rain?¡± He interrogated. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Got your heart broken?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s expression immediately froze as she did not quite know how to answer. He could see that she was rather awkward and restless. Seeing that she was still a naive nineteen-year-old, Zuo Hancheng had said those words without giving it much thought. However, seeing the state she was in upon hearing his words, he furrowed his brows. ¡°I was right?¡± Anhao speechlessly lifted her head and looked at him. ¡°Please. I¡¯m still a patient and in a sickbed. What¡¯s with all the questions? My head hurts so much!¡± Ignoring her whiny complaints, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to drop the matter at all. ¡°Which wild man caught your attention out there?¡± ¡®W-Wild man!¡¯ Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched violently. ¡°What wild man?¡± ¡°I¡¯m asking you which wild man broke your heart¡ªto the point where you had to bathe under the cold rain during a winter night with a temperature below zero degrees? Why¡¯re you so heart-broken? Hmm?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao stared at the expression on his face. Something was not right, like he was about to pounce on a cheating girl like her at any time and choke her to death. She unwittingly shimmied under the blanket, grabbed the corners of the blanket with both hands and said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t¡­¡± Seeing that she was obviously guilty but was unwilling to confess, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face turned dark. ¡°Gu Anhao, your husband went abroad for three days and you actually cheated on me?¡± ¡°Hey! Watch your words! Cheating on you?! I was with my classmates in the dorm every day and then I got sick! How could I have fooled around with this wild man you¡¯re talking about?¡± ¡°Does cheating mentally not count as cheating? If you want to explain, it would be better to just tell me the guy¡¯s name.¡± Anhao was absolutely furious! Chapter 33 Chapter 33 ¡°No! There¡¯s no such man or guy! You¡¯re overthinking it!¡± She said as she pulled the blanket over her head to avoid his gaze as per usual. In the end, just as she had covered her head, she heard him say, ¡°When you were out for the past two days, you kept murmuring ¡®brother¡¯ in your dreams.¡± Anhao¡¯s entire body suddenly tensed up. She immediately pulled down the blanket and looked at him, but she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s at the side of the bed staring down at her with cold eyes. ¡°Why have I never heard of this before? Does Gu Tianming have a son? Brother? Where did you get a brother?¡± Anhao did not know why she was so nervous. There was nothing between her and Yi Zeyang. Even if she dreamt of her past, unconsciously murmuring ¡®brother¡¯ in her dreams, that did not mean that she was mentally cheating on him. However, when she was faced with Zuo Hancheng, she could hardly find the words to answer him, making her feel like she had really cheated on him. She then recalled how afraid the Xu family was of him. She did not know what kind of god Zuo Hancheng was and where he came from. What if he found out she was related to Yi Zeyang? Would something happen to him? Even though the Yi family also had a big family business and they were also quite prestigious in A City, she believed that it would be better that he did not know too much. As such, she could not tell him. ¡°There¡¯s a super fan called Huang Amao in our dorm room. Every day, she would stick a bunch of posters of Korean stars on the wall and would keep swooning and yelling ¡®brother¡¯ before she sleeps. So I also followed her footsteps in calling them brothers, not only that, I know how to say Oppa too~¡± Anhao explained as she lifted her chin¡ªdisplaying an expression that seemed rather brave, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Zuo Hancheng? Hancheng Oppa? Are you satisfied with this explanation?¡± Seeing that she was trying to act cute to hide the truth, Zuo Hancheng ridiculed her saying, ¡°Wasn¡¯t it uncle?¡± ¡°What the f*ck! Uncle?! Don¡¯t even try to take advantage of me! I was just talking nonsense before. You¡¯re not even thirty so how the f*ck can I call you unc¡ª¡± Just when Anhao was at the climax of her act, she suddenly felt cold arrows coming from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. She instantly realized that she had just cussed a lot and immediately zipped up her mouth. ¡°Never let me hear another dirty word come from that small mouth of yours, Anhao. You may try to challenge my limits.¡± A chill ran down her spine. Did this man need to be so stern? She promised that she would listen to him, but this was too tyrannical and domineering! She looked up to glare at him, but as she met his gaze, she looked down again gloomily. Fine, she needed to keep her head down for now! When Lord Anhao seeks revenge, even ten years would not be too late! *** After having slept for days, Anhao did not know if she was fed anything to eat. However, since this was a hospital, the doctor should have given her drips for sustenance. Even though her body did not lack any nutrition, she felt really hungry. Not even a few hours after she had woken up, she put on a melancholic face and kept on drinking warm water while staring at the man who was reading documents by the windows. To ignore such an important patient like her and leaving her with just warm water to drink¡ªhe was not gentle at all! He was supposed to be her husband, and her husband that rescued her from the hands of gangsters. Was he not supposed to sit by her side and coax her while holding her hand? Comfort her by telling her that with hubby by her side there was nothing to be afraid of? In the end, that man called Mobai¡ªwho seemed to be his assistant, brought a pile of documents for him to look at and left to settle other things. Anhao suspected that the pile of documents were actually work-related matters that had accumulated while he was abroad. There was so much to go through. Who was this person? More importantly, she was absolutely starving! Did this man feel no sympathy? Why could he not just take the initiative to come over and ask her if she was hungry or not? She was in a stalemate for quite a while and Anhao finally could not take it anymore. Zuo Hancheng was still looking through the documents¡ªhe had probably forgotten about her existence. She suddenly reached out her hand and lightly knocked on the table beside the bed. Zuo Hancheng lifted his head to look at her. Anhao said, ¡°I want to eat scallops!¡± As the words left her mouth, Zuo Hancheng closed up the documents in his hand, stood up and walked toward her. ¡°Scallops? Right now, you¡¯ve contracted a viral infection. Your fever will only go down when the rashes have appeared. Eating seafood¡ªdo you want to die?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t die from eating a few scallops¡­¡± Anhao muttered softly. ¡°Then give me rice with beef¡­¡± ¡°Beef, mutton, eggs, seafood and spicy food¡ªyou¡¯re forbidden from eating these for now.¡± Anhao really felt like she was about to go insane. She did not know that there was a possibility of her getting a viral rash, no wonder she has a fever. Why in the world did she look for trouble and run into the freezing rain?! She was lucky to still be alive right now! ¡°Whatever, any food is fine. I¡¯m hungry!¡± Anhao sadly lifted her gaze. ¡°I want to eat something.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly. Seeing her pitiable expression, he finally caved in. He called Mobai to fetch her something from one of the more hygienic restaurants in the hospital. However, because Anhao had been burning up for a few days now, even though she was hungry, she still ended up throwing up the things she ate. After a night of torment, she looked totally washed out, not having the energy to even make a squeak. She lay motionlessly in bed as she obediently waited for the nurse to give her an injection. The doctor said that this kind of viral rash was common, and she would be fine after the rash had appeared. All she had to do was to pull through the fever stage which was rather unbearable. It was easier said than done as she felt absolutely terrible to the point where she felt like dying. Looking at her writhing about and moaning uncomfortably, Zuo Hancheng did not bully her anymore. However, it seemed like he had moved his entire office into the hospital. If he was not receiving calls on matters that needed his immediate attention, then there would be some important documents that needed his perusal or his signature. After having seen him being so busy for the past two days in the hospital, Anhao was really curious as to what kind of a big boss he was and where he had come from. Finally, in one of the afternoons, as Zuo Hancheng had to return to his company for an urgent international-scale meeting, he had his assistant, Mobai, stay back in the hospital. Mobai came in after fetching Anhao¡¯s daily medicine that she needed to take at fixed times. Anhao immediately waved her hand at him. ¡°Hey, handsome. Come over here for a bit~ Over here~¡± He saw Anhao, who looked a bit pale but was acting like she was full of vigour, sitting on the bed. Mobai froze for a moment and walked over all confused, ¡°Is there something you need, Ms. Gu?¡± ¡°Hey, I have a question for you.¡± Anhao slightly shifted to the side of the bed and purposely lowered her volume as she asked, ¡°Let me ask you this. Your boss, that is, Zuo Hancheng. I¡¯ve been hearing you calling him President Zuo. Who in the world is he? Which company are you guys from?¡± Mobai was utterly taken aback. Was Ms. Gu joking with him? President Zuo had been taking care of her in the ward for days, he was thinking that this lady and President Zuo shared a special relationship, when in actual fact, she did not even know who President Zuo was. Chapter 34 Chapter 34 ¡°You really don¡¯t know, Ms. Gu?¡± Mobai thought that President Zuo¡¯s identity was known by almost everyone in A City and there was no need to hide anything. He smiled as he stared at Anhao¡¯s expression. Anhao pursed her lips for a moment. ¡°I rarely read any business news. I didn¡¯t pay attention to those too in the past so of course I don¡¯t know.¡± Mobai raised his eyebrows and sighed, ¡°Alright then. You should have at least heard of Shengling Group.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows, ¡°I¡¯ve heard of them. It¡¯s said that they¡¯re a really big family business and an even more prestigious multinational enterprise in the inland. It seems like they¡¯re the top ten or top hundred most influential enterprises too. Their former headquarters was in Los Angeles and they¡¯ve moved their headquarters back here a few years ago. I¡¯ve heard about big news like this in the business world even though I don¡¯t care much about it!¡± Not bad. This girl¡¯s knowledge was not that shallow. Mobai held back his laughter. ¡°President Zuo is the international CEO of Shengling Group.¡± ¡°¡­!!!¡± Anhao¡¯s head felt like it was about to explode. When she was caught and cornered by the members of the Gu family at the hotel with Zuo Hancheng, it was strange seeing the humiliated expressions of Gu Shishi and her mother, including the second and third uncle of the Gu family. After that, due to a moment of impulse, she went from being passive to getting married to Zuo Hancheng on her own will. She did not give much thought to it. Now, she knew what kind of a big boss she had gotten herself involved with! Shengling Group¡¯s CEO! Zuo Hancheng?! That was why he could simply give her a card and let her use it in whatever way she liked! Why would this man who was worth who knows how many tens of billions mind giving her some daily life expenses? That was why he could afford to live in Giltview Garden! The land where Giltview Garden was built on was auctioned to a sky-high value. Everyone thought that the developers would not earn anything, it was then Shengling Group took over the development of the place. In the end, it became a small neighbourhood with only sixty six residences but it was able to rake in a few times more than it was worth. It also became the highest selling development among the real estate transactions in A City. Seeing Anhao¡¯s expression all muddled up, Mobai smiled. He covered his mouth and coughed slightly. ¡°Ms. Gu, do you have any more questions?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Then, I shall see myself out now. Please remember to take your medicine. I reckon you can be discharged in a few more days.¡± Mobai smiled politely at her, turned around and left. As soon as the door was closed up, Anhao reached for her phone on the table and started searching for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name. Her phone was smashed during the incident. This was a new phone that Zuo Hancheng had ordered someone to buy for her. There was no sim card for now but there was wifi in the hospital so she could access to the internet. When she searched for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name, even though he kept a low profile and there was not much information on the media, a simple introduction and a picture of his side profile was enough to prove that Mobai¡¯s words were true. He really was the CEO of Shengling Group! There would always be small bookstalls that would sell those boring CEO novels at the entrance of A High. Anhao had also flipped through some of them. They were novels with titles like ¡®Overbearing CEO falling in love with me¡¯, or ¡®Overbearing CEO and the little lamb¡¯ and so on. The stories were always about the big boss and Cinderella. Any girl would like these kinds of melodramatic plots. However, the word ¡®dumbfounded¡¯ was written all over Anhao¡¯s face right now. Being in the Gu family, she would always stand in a corner so as to not stand out as she looked at these so-called high-profile people from the business world. Those people were shrewd and they were all masters of backstabbing. The higher they stood, the more dangerous they were. Not to mention, all those in the business world were profiteers. Someone like Zuo Hancheng was not an easy character. She had fallen into the hands of such a man. What in the world had she gotten herself into? Anhao bit her nails as she sat on the bed until Zuo Hancheng returned from his company three hours later. She instantly sat up straight¡ªher eyes wide open as she stared at him. The moment he entered the room, he saw the girl sitting on the bed all frozen, like a wax figure. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes narrowed and he noticed that her eyes were as huge as light bulbs. Before he could open his mouth, Anhao quickly said in a stern manner, ¡°Tell me! What¡¯s your motive for marrying me?!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were calm as he scanned her from head to toe¡ªa questioning stance with hands on her hips. ¡°Do you think that you have something that¡¯s of any worth and of use to me?¡± ¡°I asked because I don¡¯t know! If not, why would you, the CEO of Shengling Group, marry me, a high school student who doesn¡¯t have any power and was not loved by my parents?!¡± Zuo Hancheng appeared to not want to deal with her as he went in and simply threw his coat on the sofa. After remaining silent for a while, his voice was calm when he said, ¡°Since I would have to marry a woman that I don¡¯t love sooner or later, isn¡¯t it the same as marrying just anyone? Even though you are worth nothing, you still have the title of the mayor¡¯s daughter. This should count as a well-matched marriage and prevent the two families from arguing over troublesome matters.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao felt that she might be too young, that was why she could not decipher the meaning behind those words. What did he mean when he said that he would be marrying a woman he did not love sooner or later? Then, that must mean that he had loved someone before¡­ Anhao quietly turned her head and looked at him. The light from the sunset projecting from the window onto the man¡¯s face made him look particularly elegant, bringing with it an aura that was rather attractive. Such an outstanding man, such an important man that was respected by everyone, was there anything that was beyond his control? Zuo Hancheng then turned to look at her and their eyes met, Anhao who had been spying on him was caught by his deep, dark eyes. It shocked her for a moment and she said in a hurry, ¡°One, I¡¯m not loved in the Gu family, and two, I don¡¯t have a place there! I¡¯m Gu Tianming¡¯s illegitimate child! My name isn¡¯t even registered under the household registry!¡± Zuo Hancheng merely looked at her placidly, not uttering a single word. Anhao licked her lips that had become inexplicably dry under his gaze. ¡°I¡¯m an illegitimate daughter! A dishonour to the family! Which means that that well-matched marriage that you were talking about is void! Also, I¡¯m still young. I only went to the Department of Civil Affairs on an impulse! If you¡¯re regretting it now, I will immediately divorce you! I would never hold you back!¡± Zuo Hancheng still said nothing. His calm, black eyes were locked onto that expression of hers which made her seem like a cautious little creature. His gaze seemed to be twinkling with traces of piqued interest. ¡°Are you done?¡± Finally, he opened his mouth. Anhao stared at the calm man. She could not take her eyes off him. However, whenever she thought about his identity and status, and back to her own, she still felt like she had accidentally stepped onto cloud nine. It was simply unrealistic! Utterly and wholly unrealistic! ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m done.¡± She leaned back on her propped up pillow, feeling a little guilty. Her voice had become feeble and weak, losing its usual eccentric and unreasonable tone. It was until the man started walking toward her that Anhao¡¯s body instantly tensed up. She warily glanced at him. ¡°W-What do you want to do¡­¡± Chapter 35 Chapter 35 ¡°Are you afraid of me?¡± The man¡¯s voice was light, but his imposing manner was overwhelming so there was no way she could take him lightly. ¡°¡­I¡¯m not.¡± When did she say she was afraid of him? ¡°Do you feel inferior?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± She raised her eyes and glared at him. Even if he was the most prestigious lord, it did not concern her. Why would she need to feel inferior just because the other party was high up there? Hearing her answer, Zuo Hancheng seemed satisfied. His thin lips curled up into a small, handsome smile, but the voice coming out from his mouth was warm yet cool at the same time. She could not tell what he was thinking about. ¡°Then, stay obediently in the hospital and nurse yourself back to health. Stop talking nonsense.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao blinked blankly. She felt a little dissatisfied, but after thinking about it carefully, he was right. She was not afraid of him and was not concerned about whether she was a good match for him or not. They were already married. What was there to be sensitive about? And so, she pursed her lips and pointed toward the door. ¡°Then, can I be discharged? I¡¯m so bored in the hospital¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng gave her an emotionless stare. His answer was clear. Guess not! Anhao pulled up the blanket and turned around grumpily while ignoring him. *** However, even though Zuo Hancheng did not allow her to be discharged from the hospital, he still showed her mercy. After the rashes finally appeared on her, he had Mobai register for another sim card for her. She once again turned on her new phone. There were a bunch of missed calls on her phone. After looking through her mailbox for a while, she ignored Yi Zeyang¡¯s missed call on purpose, went straight to Chunchun¡¯s name and called her. An hour later, Chunchun and Huang Amao came to visit her in the hospital and brought two large bags of junk food just as she asked for. When Anhao saw the bags of junk food, she felt even more excited about it than seeing her very own mother. The three girls chattered about the things happening in school. Anhao then found out that something had happened to the Xu family. The two sons of the Xu family dropped out of school. It seemed that the Xu family had offended someone and they could not stay in A City anymore. They had been packing up for the past few days, ready to leave soon. Anhao crunched on the chips in her hands as she merely listened to the two of them talk while she remained silent. She was able to guess that it was related to Zuo Hancheng. ¡°This is strange! I heard it¡¯s really hard to book a ward in this private hospital. Did your dad have a change of heart? Is he starting to treat you like a real daughter?¡± Chunchun questioned curiously. Anhao coughed. The two of them had been great friends of hers for years now. They knew almost everything about her situation in the Gu family. Logically speaking, she did not have to hide from them but she really did not know how to explain the whole thing. Suddenly, the door swung open. The doctor was holding an examination report as he said respectfully to the figure that came in right after him, ¡°Mr. Zuo, Ms. Gu¡¯s blood test result shows that everything is almost back to normal, if everything goes smoothly, she could be discharged in a few more days.¡± Just as the doctor finished speaking, he then realized there were two other young ladies in the room. He was stunned for a moment and looked back at Zuo Hancheng who had entered through the door, ¡°Mr. Zuo, this¡­¡± ¡°Oh my God!¡± Huang Amao and Chunchun instantly stood up with a surprised expression. Their two pairs of eyes were staring hungrily at Zuo Hancheng like he was their prey. Chunchun muttered quietly with an excited expression, ¡°I thought that Mr. Yi was the most handsome of all, I didn¡¯t think that there would be someone even more handsome! Ahhhh, my little heart! I¡¯m gonna faint! Seeing such a handsome man, my heart is going to melt~.¡± Huang Amao was also staring at the indescribably exquisite man in a dazed manner. She gulped visibly and grabbed hold of Chunchun¡¯s arm. The two looked at Anhao who had on a rather strange expression, making them look at her inquisitively. With their gazes piercing through her being, Anhao grinned. ¡°Hehe.¡± The corner of Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°What do you mean ¡®hehe¡¯?¡± She lowered her voice and continued, ¡°Tell us! Were you flirting around with this handsome guy all alone when you went missing the past few days?¡± Anhao continued smiling mysteriously. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± F*ck! Zuo Hancheng was already standing right in front of them. If the both of them wanted to ask her about him they could at least wait, not drool all over him on the spot! This was so embarrassing! Zuo Hancheng stared placidly at the two female students who were around the same age as Anhao. ¡°This is a patient¡¯s ward. If the two of you are here to visit the patient, you have already seen her. Now could you please leave and wait for her to be discharged to see her again?¡± In terms of his appearance, voice, and even his attitude, this man was first-class! The best of the best! Huang Amao and Chunchun looked at him unwittingly and nodded instinctively. They did not say another word as they waved their hands at him while smiling at him lustfully, and then they were gone like the wind. These two brats would act like their brains had been turned to mush whenever they see handsome men. Anhao despised herself for having two crappy friends like them, and getting married to such a terrible husband. She fumed angrily as she took a chip out from the bag and chomped on it. Zuo Hancheng instantly glared at her and Anhao turned her head to avoid his eyes. Since her rashes had finally appeared, the doctor said that she could be discharged soon. She could eat whatever she wanted and he could not control that! The doctor was planning to provide an explanation about her diet but he read the atmosphere and it seemed as though he should not be in the room. As such, he simply found an excuse to take his leave. The two of them were left alone in the ward. Anhao was still nibbling on the chips like a mouse. The munching sound of the crispy chips filled the now silent room. She had just recovered and there were two big bags of junk food placed on the bed for the world to see. Zuo Hancheng could feel a slight throb on his temples, ¡°You dare call someone to buy you junk food after you have just recovered?¡± Anhao was stunned momentarily before she then uttered nonchalantly, ¡°I have been here in the hospital for a week already! I have been eating porridge, all types of tasteless, liquidy food! Do you know how difficult it was for me to wait for the rashes to subside?! Since I¡¯ve recovered, nothing would happen to me just from eating a little junk food!¡± Seeing her pompous and self-righteous expression, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°Is being recovered your excuse for eating junk food? Gu Anhao, you are still a growing nineteen-year-old. Eating these kinds of food would affect every aspect of your growth. Are you disregarding what I¡¯ve told you?¡± Anhao bit into the chips unhappily. She put down the bag of chips and suddenly stood up, puffing up her chest as she said arrogantly, ¡°How is it affecting my growth? Aren¡¯t I growing well? As I see it, parts that should be curvy are curvy! I don¡¯t need you to worry for me!¡± The girl proudly puffed her chest up. Zuo Hancheng looked at her puffing up her chest and his brows were raised pointedly. Seeing that he was silent, Anhao thought that she had made him speechless for once. Just as she was about to take a cup of jelly out from the bag, she suddenly heard his voice that seemed to be getting closer to her. ¡°Is that so? Why do I not see that? Come here, let me check for myself.¡± Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Anhao instantly felt chills down her spine. She looked back and saw that Zuo Hancheng was already walking toward her. She quickly covered her chest and rolled over to the other side of the bed. When he was near, she immediately rolled her eyes and plopped herself down forcefully on the bed. If being imposing was not enough, then acting should do it! Pretend to pass out! Let¡¯s see what he could do about that! In the twenty-nine years of his life, it was the first time Zuo Hancheng had met such an eccentric, unreasonable and fickle, yet uncontrollable little brat. He saw her shutting her eyes tightly while cocking her head aside but her body was all tensed up and she was highly cautious. Even though it was extremely childish, he was actually humored by her. His hand did not land on her chest but he gave her a knock on the head, ¡°You¡¯re still quite inexperienced if you want to show off your acting skills in front of me.¡± Anhao instantly opened her eyes, quickly sat up and covered her chest as she retreated backward. His words were true. Shengling Group had numerous well-known businesses under their name, be they big or small. From real estate businesses to electronic businesses to the international economy, and various other industries. The Shengling Group had even invested in the top two entertainment companies in the country. When it came to such a thing like acting, she presumed that many small-time actors had put up an act in front of him, wishing to butter up to a man like him. A side character like her did not need to waste her time on acting to embarrass herself. ¡°When do I get discharged?¡± She then changed the subject, her hands still covering her chest as she was afraid he would reveal his animalistic side. ¡°I don¡¯t have time tomorrow. If you¡¯re worried, I¡¯ll let Mobai come get you and have you discharged from the hospital.¡± In the end, Zuo Hancheng did not provoke her any further. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you have time or not. I¡¯ll call a cab myself to take me back to school.¡± After having fallen so ill, Anhao seemed to have a sudden realization. She felt that she could not put herself in a position that was too demeaning for her in front of Zuo Hancheng. Since she had to live with him like this before he would agree to a divorce, she must change this tormenting lifestyle to one that she would like! She could not be completely oppressed by him! That was why even her tone was not as compliant as it was before; it sounded like she was taunting him. The best thing that could happen was that he would not be able to tolerate her anymore, then choose to hand her the divorce papers and give her back her freedom! Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and he could see right through her but he did not expose her. ¡°Seeing that you¡¯re still half a patient, I¡¯ll allow you to keep a few of these bags of junk food. Remember, there will be no next time.¡± Anhao glanced at the two big bags of junk food and sighed in relief. Finally, she won this round of her fight for junk food. ¡°You can eat the junk food if you want but remember to take supplement classes for those you¡¯ve missed during your stay in the hospital. I will check personally next week.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Anhao was shocked. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold stare fell upon on her expression, it was like she had just witnessed the end of the world. His lips curved into a slight, handsome smile, one of his hands in his pocket and his posture calm but elegant. Anhao¡¯s face immediately turned maroon red. Not only did she miss this week¡¯s classes, she had not paid attention to any of the usual classes in school! Was he really going to check next week? Did that mean that she had to revise all three years¡¯ worth of high school work in a week?! How! Was! That! Possible! *** Mobai really did come the next day to fetch Anhao from the hospital. Sitting in the high-class business coach that Mobai was driving, Anhao kept on fiddling with her new phone, scrolling through pages and pages of websites. She once again looked at the direction in which they were going. Once she was sure he was taking her back to the school and not Giltview Gardens, she breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Ms. Gu, it¡¯s already December. One more month and you¡¯re going to have your holidays, right?¡± Mobai tried to pick a topic so that he could chat with her as he was driving¡ªjust so this lady would not have to maintain this cautious and formal demeanor of hers. ¡°Uh, I think so.¡± Anhao answered absent-mindedly. ¡°President Zuo told me a few days ago to find a home tutor in A City for you. May I know what kind of person you would like to have as your home tutor, Ms. Gu?¡± ¡°Home tutor?¡± Anhao quickly turned around and looked at him in shock. Mobai smiled lightly. ¡°Yes. I have contacted a few home tutors with a rather decent reputation. Since it¡¯s an order from President Zuo, I hope to find someone that meets Ms. Gu¡¯s expectations. So, what type of person would you like?¡± It seemed that when Zuo Hancheng said that he would check her school work next week, he was not joking! Anhao once again felt fire burning in her head. There was one more month until her holidays which also meant that there was one more month until her final exams. Was this Zuo Hancheng¡¯s way of torturing her?! She turned her head to the right and stared outside the window sullenly. ¡°Any type is fine! Best if it¡¯s a guy! A good looking guy that¡¯s pleasing to the eyes! A feast for my eyes will heavily affect how serious I am when I¡¯m studying!¡± Mobai was stunned momentarily before he smiled and said, ¡°Alright, understood.¡± *** After she got down from the car, Anhao did not return to school immediately. She invited Chunchun and Huang Amao out. Before returning to school, she wanted to explain about her and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s relationship to them in a caf¨¦ outside of school. Even though these two were the worst of the bunch, they were part and parcel of her life. There were some things that she would not need to hide from them. Three cups of milk tea were placed on the table. Chunchun and Huang Amao glanced at Anhao from time to time when they were drinking from their cups, waiting for her to confess. ¡°When I was in the hospital, nothing big happened in school, right?¡± Anhao opened her mouth first. ¡°Nothing big happened.¡± Huang Amao rested her chin on her palm. ¡°That was why me and Chunchun felt that it was strange. The two Xu guys were suddenly ordered to drop out of school, you suddenly took sick leave and got admitted into a hospital for a week, but the academic director didn¡¯t even suspect you for faking your illness to skip classes. Also, that super, super, super top-notch handsome man that we met at the hospital that day. These are all really suspicious!¡± ¡°And, about Mr. Yi¡­¡± Chunchun also started speaking. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about Mr. Yi.¡± Anhao suddenly interrupted her, ¡°He¡¯s not related to me in any way whatsoever. I¡¯m a Gu family member, he¡¯s an Yi family member!¡± Seeing Anhao being so heartless, Chunchun and Huang Amao did not mention him again and pouted. ¡°Explain yourself.¡± Anhao paused for a moment and started speaking, ¡°Chunchun, do you remember about a month ago when we were at the bar. That day, I¡­¡± ¡°Oh my God! Eri jumped off a building!¡± A high-pitched voice came from the table beside them and surprised all three of them. They subconsciously turned in that direction to see what had happened. From their uniform, they should be female students from the class next to theirs in A high. Each of them had a fashion magazine in their hands. All of them were gathered together because of a piece of gossip. ¡°Erica? Wasn¡¯t she one of the new top four female stars that was made popular by Yixing Entertainment recently? She has contracts with almost all the prime-time TV series during the summer holidays! Why would she commit suicide when she¡¯s so popular?!¡± ¡°Look! According to the news, it was because of relationship reasons¡­¡± The female students chattered on as they formed a circle. They had a lot of Erica¡¯s fans in school, even Huang Amao who would always pay attention to every move in the entertainment industry could not help but listen attentively. ¡°It says here that when Erica attended the annual Yixing charity dinner last week, she had the chance to meet the biggest investor of Yixing¡ªthe legendary president of Shengling Group, Zuo Hancheng!¡± Chapter 37 Chapter 37 When she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name, even Anhao started to pay attention. ¡°Oh? I thought that the president of Shengling Group rarely appears in front of the media?¡± ¡°I know right?! Erica is so popular right now that she has even earned the right to attend Yixing Entertainment¡¯s private charity dinner. It was probably her first time meeting the investor behind Yixing. Yixing is considered to be one of the top entertainment companies in the country and them being able to get Shengling Group to invest on them would bring them into new heights. Who wouldn¡¯t want to please such a patron? Maybe Erica became too popular right after her debut and fame got to her head. She thinks that normal men are not good enough for her, so she tried to latch on to the esteemed president of Shengling Group!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a photo of the president of Shengling Group from any media news outlet ever. I could only find a picture of his silhouette on the internet. Even that silhouette looked so handsome! Do you guys think Erica is attracted to that President Zuo?! Is she obsessed?!¡± The girl that was holding the magazine started to read the contents of the article in the magazine out loud in all seriousness. ¡°Popular female star Erica ¡°performed¡± a frightening act of jumping off a building at Royal Garden Plaza Hotel last night. Fortunately, rescue arrived in time and there were no casualties on site.¡± ¡°Sources are saying that the female star Erica was in an unstable state of mind after being rescued. She was reported to be reeking of the smell of alcohol and it was suspected to be from alcohol intoxication. Witnesses said that before Erica was about to jump, she tried to call someone while standing on the ledge of the window, but nobody answered her call. Then, she seemed to have called another number, threatening the other party to get ¡®President Zuo¡¯ to answer the call. She claimed that she had something to tell this ¡®President Zuo¡¯, but her request was declined.¡± ¡°After that, Erica broke down and started sobbing. She ignored the dissuasion from pedestrians and kept muttering something about her heart being broken and that she was upset and in despair. Even though she actually did not intend to jump down from the building, she slipped because she was wearing high heels and fell from the window of the tenth floor. In that horrifying moment, luckily the rescuers managed to lay out an air mattress in time, preventing the unfortunate fall of a rising new star in the entertainment industry¡­ However, after such a mess from Erica, she will have to face many obstacles on her acting path from now on. After pulling such an irrational stunt, Erica might face the danger of being buried by Yixing Entertainment¡­¡± ¡°We will continue reporting about the popular female star Erica¡¯s suicide. Currently, no reporters are allowed entry into the hospital.¡± ¡°At the same time, while we wait for the updates, let us also guess who this mysterious ¡®President Zuo¡¯ that Erica mentioned is. Inside sources from Yixing Company tell us that a week before this incident, Erica met the international CEO of Shengling Group when she attended the Yixing charity dinner event as Shengling Group is the biggest investor of Yixing Entertainment¡­¡± ¡°Rumors say that the big boss behind Shengling Group rarely appears in front of the cameras. Even for business-related news, there were only a few photos that were approved by the person himself. Five years ago, Shengling Group moved their headquarters back to the inland. Within these five years, even though Zuo Hancheng kept a low profile, he still has many gossips surrounding him.¡± ¡°Such incidents like female star Erica¡¯s suicide was not the first. Something similar happened in the first year of Shengling Group¡¯s return to the country. At that time, a female star was also bawling her eyes out and making threats just to meet him. She was also rejected and there were no casualties.¡± ¡°Three years ago, a certain renowned female boss of an enterprise did not hesitate to invest a large sum of money to start a collaboration with Shengling Group just to increase her chances of meeting Zuo Hancheng. In the end, it came to nothing. The female boss has disappeared from the business world for years. The details of what happened at that time are unknown. As this incident got more and more attention, Zuo Hancheng who was involved in the incident never appeared in front of the media to provide an explanation. His cold and disregarding manner was evident¡­¡± ¡°As for Erica who was involved in the incident this time as one of the new top four female stars that was recently made popular by Yixing Entertainment, Yixing Entertainment has invested no less than five million on her. The best female artist award of all sorts of award ceremonies held at the end of the year annually initially belonged to her. Now that such an inconvenient incident has occured, there would probably be some changes on the rankings in the entertainment industry.¡± ¡°After such an obsessed pursuit of love shown by the current popular female star, Zuo Hancheng of Shengling group was still not moved. Is President Zuo not interested in women? Or was this Erica¡¯s cheap attempt in creating drama? There is no way of knowing¡­¡± After the girls were done reading the gossip material, Anhao could not help but roll her eyes. Chunchun suddenly tapped on Huang Amao¡¯s arms. ¡°Hey, didn¡¯t this female star Erica get into a scandal with that K-pop idol of yours?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even mention that. That Erica is the most unsophisticated, and pretentious snake in the entertainment circle right now. My oppa wouldn¡¯t like someone like her but I didn¡¯t think that she would find her next target so quickly. I can only say it¡¯s fortunate that she has turned her attention away so quickly. If not, there¡¯s no saying that this kind of ugly news would involve my oppa.¡± Chunchun pursed her lips. ¡°You¡¯re right too. When this type of news involves male and female stars, it will become gossip. But if it involves President Zuo of Shengling group who is not in the circle, it will become social news.¡± ¡°Huh, but who in the world is President Zuo of Shengling Group? There are so many men with money and power. Why would these young female stars try to pursue him to such an extent? He is also something for ignoring them outright like that. He really is cold~¡± ¡°Men. The more mysterious and colder they are, the more attractive they would be. Also, that picture of his silhouette on the internet looks so handsome. He¡¯s probably one of a kind. But he¡¯s just a businessman. He doesn¡¯t even want to appear in the media, so commoners like us would never be able to know his real identity.¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao almost made Anhao throw up the milk tea that she was drinking. ¡®Ladies, the person you saw at the hospital that day is the man that you are talking about right now!¡¯ Was there a need to explain her situation right now? It was probably useless even if she did explain it to them¡­ Chunchun and Huang Amao suddenly looked at Anhao¡¯s expression and their gazes were locked on. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough. I almost forgot that Anhao isn¡¯t interested in idols and stuff. Let¡¯s continue with our previous topic. Anhao, you better fess up now!¡± Anhao picked up her cup of milk tea, with her chin resting in her palm. She looked at the two of them seriously and whispered, ¡°Would you believe if I say that I got married to Zuo Hancheng?¡± Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Anhao picked up her cup of milk tea, her chin resting in her palm. She looked at the two of them seriously and whispered, ¡°Would you believe if I say I got married to Zuo Hancheng?¡± Chunchun sneered. ¡°See, I told you she must have something on her mind and she won¡¯t tell us the truth.¡± Huang Amao also put her chin on her hand. ¡°We are probably here today just for a cup of milk tea, we won¡¯t be getting any info whatsoever, tsk tsk.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao put her head on the table dejectedly. She was speaking the truth!!! Also, no wonder Zuo Hancheng laughed at her awful acting that day and said that she was too inexperienced. It seemed like she had gotten it right after having simply made a guess that day. He really did have a lot of women pursuing him¡ªfemale stars, female bosses, young ladies, all kinds of women. So why would he want to be so cruel to someone like her who had yet to graduate from high school? Why would he ignore all the brilliant and tempting peonies and all kinds of colorful butterflies, and keep on bullying a budding wild chrysanthemum like her? Recalling the mysterious President Zuo who mentioned he would check her schoolwork in a few days¡¯ time, she grinded her teeth angrily. She wished to expose his real face in front of everyone and prove how much of a ruffian he was! However, after giving it much thought, she realized that he did not even have any degrading secrets she could expose, instead she was the one that had exposed her ugliest sides to him. She showed him all sorts of embarrassing incidents, was looked down on and disciplined in all types of ways! The only shady thing about him was that the president of Shengling Group had an eccentric hobby¡ªtraining and guiding young ones! After being stared at by Chunchun and Huang Amao for a long time, Anhao wanted to cry but no tears came out. She then decided to explain everything from the very beginning. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly heard clamors of excitement coming from the girls beside them once more. ¡°Aaah! Looks at this! A few entertainment media tried to follow the trend saying that they¡¯re going to hire elite groups. They¡¯re offering a high price for anyone who can dig up any deep information about that mysterious boss of Shengling Group and would pay ten million for exclusive information! Oh my God! The price of this exclusive news is even more expensive than the most popular star in the country! Things are about to blow up, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°The Shengling Group is surely going to be surrounded by the media!¡± ¡°Impossible. A place like Shengling Group has tighter security than the plaza in front of the F Government¡¯s building. Who would dare to block the way of the boss at the entrance of Shengling Group. They would have to use all sorts of covert ways to stalk him¡­¡± Ten million? Anhao blinked and suddenly glanced at her phone. She lightly tapped on her phone and scrolled through the pages. Ten million just for an exclusive news about Zuo Hancheng¡ªthat meant that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private phone number would be worth a lot, right? Ugh¡­ No! How could she disregard the chance to earn such a large sum of money? How could she be content by just giving out his phone number? As the saying goes ¡®first come, first serve¡¯. No matter what, she had to dig up some kind of shady information about Zuo Hancheng. When the time arrives, she would be satisfied for half of her life even if they paid her five million! ¡°Anhao, what¡¯re you smiling at? You have been keeping us in the dark this whole time, and now you are smiling?!¡± Anhao mysteriously cracked a grin. Her hand pinched the straw and she slightly stirred her drink, keeping her head down to hide the overflowing joy in her eyes. *** At the parking lot near the entrance of Deways Hotel, a tiny shadow was hiding behind a few cars and slowly made its way toward the entrance of the hotel. After Anhao got discharged from the hospital, she stayed in school for three days, and the weekend had finally arrived. She would not be so obedient and actually do revision for her school work. Revision was a waste of life, time and money! What a joke! She could throw away her books and earn ten million any minute now. She had wanted to bring Zuo Hancheng problems for the past two days but unexpectedly, he did not contact her. As such, she decided to make the first move and call Mobai. Even though Mobai was his personal assistant, all he knew was that they had a special relationship, he did not know what kind of relationship they had. That was why Anhao thought that it was easier to start from Mobai since he treated Anhao as their own for now. After trying to get an answer out of him by asking him indirectly, she finally found out that Zuo Hancheng would be staying in the Devas Hotel to have a meeting with a CEO of a certain international company. She instantly took a cab and rushed there. After hiding at the parking lot outside of the hotel entrance for a while, she noticed that there were no reporters nearby so she stood up and walked toward the hotel entrance with nothing to hide. Just as she was about to leave the parking lot, she suddenly spotted an SUV with a plate number for military use parked nearby from the corner of her eyes. The plate number was very familiar. She instantly stopped in her tracks and soon saw the silhouette of a couple of familiar people getting down from the SUV. That was Gu Tianming¡¯s car, which meant that it was the personal vehicle of the mayor of A City. As expected, the people that came out from the car were Gu Tianming, Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu. After the three of them got out of the car, the chauffeur parked the car in a place that did not stand out. Anhao subconsciously dashed behind a car and silently poked her head out to observe them. The fifty-four-year-old Gu Tianming was wearing a black suit. Since he was the mayor, his attire had always been presentable all these years. He wore glasses with a gold frame. He was skinny and tall, looking like a fair and incorruptible mayor. Only Anhao knew that under this human fa?ade he had on, there was a cold-blooded and vicious character, one with a repulsive heart. If it were not for her entering the Gu family five years ago, witnessing how evil and filthy Gu Tianming was as a person, she would not have believed that human nature could ever fall to such an extent. Every time she thought about it, she felt goosebumps all over her arms, nauseous even, because her surname was also Gu. Gu Shishi was wearing her favourite evening dress as she put her hands around Mrs. Gu¡¯s arm, walking toward the direction of the hotel with Gu Tianming. ¡°Did anything happen while I was in Beijing for the meeting these past two months?¡± Gu Tianming asked as they were walking. Mrs. Gu smiled and said, ¡°You went to Beijing for only two months, not two years. What could have happened?¡± ¡°Good. I heard that something happened at A High but I don¡¯t know the details and haven¡¯t made time to find out about it. All I know is, that girl, Gu Anhao, is always creating problems for me, not giving me any peace of mind, and tarnishing my name every chance she gets!¡± ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you worry about Gu Anhao. Just let her do whatever she wants since you can stop supporting her when she graduates. Just chase her out of our house then.¡± Gu Shishi smiled as she said. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 ¡°I don¡¯t want to care about her but for the past three years, the Education Bureau has been complaining to me about Gu Anhao¡¯s bad behavior at A High. She has really embarrassed me and is tarnishing the reputation of the Gu family. I think that I really made the wrong decision by keeping her by my side in the past!¡± Mrs. Gu snorted in a cold manner after listening to him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you ashamed of yourself right now? If you did not cheat on me with that cheap and shameless woman twenty years ago, you would not have produced this kind of an illegitimate child that is a thorn in our eyes!¡± ¡°You can only blame yourself for your own actions! I was young and silly at that time. That was the only reason why I chose to forgive you for your discretions but I will never accept her into my life. She is nothing but an illegitimate child that was brought into this world by a lowly woman. Gu Anhao is not worthy enough to step into the Gu family. I am already extremely upset that she actually bears the same surname as my precious daughter!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, I get it. I just came back from Beijing. Do you really want to start an argument with me now?¡± Gu Tianming glanced impatiently at his wife and Gu Shishi, who was standing behind her, at this point. ¡°Shishi, I have already instructed someone to help you with your application to get into the arts school in Canada. I will be able to send you to Canada immediately after the Spring Festival on one condition. You have to promise me that you will keep up your good work and make me proud by winning more awards there. Okay?¡± ¡°Dad, when have I ever failed you?¡± Gu Shishi replied as she tilted her head arrogantly. ¡°Haven¡¯t I gotten the top three spots in the city for each and every one of my art works?¡± ¡°The only reason you always get the top three spots is because of your father¡¯s status in A City. Who would have the guts to embarrass my daughter? If anyone has the audacity to leave you out of the top three spots, I will make sure that that person¡¯s family pays the price for their mistake!¡± ¡°Okay, Daddy. I have always worked hard. I promise that I will not let you down.¡± Gu Anhao watched from afar as the family of three walked through the entrance of the hotel with smiles on their faces. She should have already been accustomed to the Gu family¡¯s slander and gossip behind her back. She should have already been accustomed to the fact that to the Gu family, she was nothing more than an illegitimate child that should not have been brought into this world. Moreover, Gu Anhao had never expected her father to have any sense of humanity or compassion toward her. However, after listening to their conversations, it seemed as though Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi did not tell her father that they set up a trap to frame her. In other words, Gu Tianming did not know that she was already married. Anyway, it did not matter whether he knew about the incident or not. After all, it was her one and only opportunity to leave the Gu family. Gu Anhao calmed herself down after watching the family of three disappear into the hotel. After that, she stepped into the hotel. The last time she was at the Deways Hotel, she was so drunk that she actually delivered red wine to the wrong room. She was caught by Zuo Hancheng and he drenched her in cold water so that she would sober up. This time, she came here again because she wanted to create a big scene to embarrass Zuo Hancheng. She had already decided that she would take revenge on him, right from the very beginning. However, the hotel was really enormous. All of the hotel staff and guests were busy hustling and walking in and out of the hotel. Moreover, Mobai sounded really busy when Gu Anhao called him earlier. All that he said was that CEO Zuo would be at the Deways Hotel today. He did not tell her which room or lounge he would be at. Gu Anhao knew that none of the hotel staff would tell her about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s whereabouts. Therefore, the only thing that she could do was to search for him on each and every floor. When Gu Anhao arrived at the seventh floor, she saw a directory of the hotel on the room service desk. She lost all of her strength as soon as she glanced at the directory. Deways Hotel was a thirty-eight-storey building. The first eighteen floors were all hotel rooms and the next few floors above it consisted of a very well-known entertainment club. The higher floors then consisted of a gym, a swimming pool, and there were many floors consisting of conference rooms that were specially built to host meetings for leaders and businessmen all over the world. There were also two floors that were wholly dedicated for restaurants and lounge areas. Oh my God! How would she ever be able to find him? Since Zuo Hancheng was here for a business meeting with another businessman, Gu Anhao was certain that he would be between the twenty-eighth to thirty-fifth floor. Therefore, Gu Anhao took the elevator and headed straight to the twenty-eighth floor. After exiting the elevator, she realized that this floor was a dining place and most of the restaurants were filled with private rooms. There were not many people on this floor at this time and most of the doors of the private rooms were closed. How would she be able to find out who was behind the doors if she could not even look inside? Gu Anhao then came to a sudden realization. Even if Gu Anhao knew where he was at this time, for someone of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s status, she would not be able to find him if he did not want to be discovered. This clearly emphasized the difference between both of their worlds. It seemed as though it was almost impossible for her to find him, if so, she would not be able to create chaos and take her revenge. Gu Anhao felt very discouraged at this moment, she then turned and headed into the washroom. She washed her face with cold water and then turned around to step out of the washroom. As she had her head lowered, she did not pay attention to the person standing in front of the door and she walked right into the person. No¡­ in fact, the other party was the one who intentionally slammed into Gu Anhao. Gu Anhao raised her head and she saw that the person that she had run into was none other than Gu Shishi, who was staring at her with her brows raised and a smug expression on her face. Mrs. Gu was right behind her, and the both of them walked into the washroom. Damn it! Why was she so unlucky to run directly into this pair of mother and daughter? Gu Anhao had a stiff expression on her face. She did not want to have a confrontation with them. Therefore, she tried to walk out of the washroom immediately. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t leave in such a hurry!¡± Gu Shishi stepped in front of the door to block the exit before turning around to look at Mrs. Gu. ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t you think that it¡¯s too much of a coincidence? Daddy just came back from Beijing today and look who is here at this hotel? What do you think is the reason that Gu Anhao is here today? I think that she was trying to look for an opportunity to spend some time with Daddy because she thought that the both of us would not be here today!¡± Mrs. Gu was looking at Gu Anhao with contempt. ¡°Yes, it is indeed too much of a coincidence. I would never have expected that such a young girl like you would actually be so devious. I guess you really inherited all of your traits from your dead mother!¡± Mrs. Gu supported Gu Shishi¡¯s statement without any hesitation. Gu Shishi stepped forward in an attempt to mock Gu Anhao even further. ¡°What is the matter? Don¡¯t forget that the only reason you had the opportunity to get to know the CEO of Shengling Group is because of my mother and I. Unfortunately, he is not interested in someone like you at all! I guess the both of you parted ways as soon as you stepped out of the hotel, right?¡± Gu Anhao stared blankly at the arrogant Gu Shishi before she replied, ¡°I only came to the washroom to wash my face. I do not know why you and your mother are so free to waste time stalking me and blocking the washroom exit, not allowing me to leave.¡± ¡°We are stalking you?¡± Gu Shishi sneered. ¡°Gu Anhao! Please get your facts straight! The only reason we are here today is to celebrate since my father is finally home. The three of us were enjoying a happy meal together. My father left earlier because he has to attend an urgent meeting. My mother is just accompanying me to the washroom because I wanted to touch up my makeup. Who would have known that we would run into you here?¡± ¡°That is great news, then. Since we cannot tolerate one another, then I believe that it is in all of our best interest if you would just step aside so that I can leave now. That way, we can minimize any need for communication at all.¡± Anhao totally ignored the smug expression on her face. ¡°Please move aside. Don¡¯t block the exit!¡± However, Gu Shishi refused to back off. Instead, she raised her brow at Gu Anhao as she replied, ¡°Gu Anhao, do you really think that I would let you go just like that? I have been meaning to say this. You were so drunk when you came to see me the other day, I believe that you would have rushed into the bathroom to throw up after I left. Am I right? So, I don¡¯t think that anything intimate could have happened between the two of you anyway!¡± ¡°Moreover, I am absolutely certain that it is absolutely impossible for someone such as Zuo Hancheng to touch you at all! The only reason he spoke up for you is simply because he is a gentleman! Don¡¯t think that you are so great just because of that!¡± Chapter 40 Chapter 40 It was really rare for Gu Shishi to actually bring her brain out with her. Gu Anhao sneered in disapproval deep down as she listened to Gu Shishi¡¯s words. However, she kept on a straight face. ¡°So, what else do you want? Do you want to drug me again before sending me to another man¡¯s bed? No matter what it is, you are still the young lady of a prestigious family. Aren¡¯t you afraid of any retribution at all?¡± ¡°Oh! Your mother is such a shameless wh*re and that is the reason why she gave birth to such a useless illegitimate child like you! Both of you are the same and equally thick-skinned! How dare you talk back to me? Have you forgotten what happened to your mother? There is no good outcome from becoming someone else¡¯s mistress! Gu Anhao, let me tell you something! You will always be an illegitimate child! Stop dreaming that you will ever be able to lift your head up high in this world! I will make sure that I will continue trampling all over you!¡± This would not be the first time that Gu Shishi had trampled on her anyway. Gu Anhao had already been bullied by Gu Shishi and her mother when she was just fourteen or fifteen years old. At that time, Gu Shishi pushed her to the ground and she kicked and stepped on her as though she was nothing. Ever since that day, Gu Anhao swore to herself that she would never be bullied by this pair of mother and daughter again. Gu Anhao remained silent as she thought about this. This was because she did not want to create a scene in such a big hotel. Even though she knew that she would definitely be able to take on the both of them as she had been mastering her Taekwondo skills for the past few years, she knew that she had to control her urges. If she did not hold back, she was afraid that a life would be lost today! When Gu Shishi saw how anxious Gu Anhao was and how she was desperately trying to leave, she stepped forward to face her directly. ¡°Why are you anxious to leave? Why aren¡¯t you asking Zuo Hancheng to come over to help you this time? Did you finally realize that he is not interested in you and he has never taken you seriously before?¡± ¡°Wow! Just look at you. You are actually wearing a dress today! I didn¡¯t realize it before this. Did CEO Zuo finally bring out the woman in you? Hahaha. Gu Anhao, stop daydreaming already! Zuo Hancheng is a man with such a high status. You will never be worthy of him! Only someone like me can ever match up to him. You, pfft¡­¡± Gu Shishi then raised her hand and swiped across Gu Anhao¡¯s chin with her fingernails. Gu Anhao raised her hand and grabbed hold of Gu Shishi¡¯s wrist immediately, hoping to throw her directly onto the ground. However, when Mrs. Gu saw that Gu Anhao was about to take action, she quickly stepped in and supported Gu Shishi with one hand. She then stretched out her other hand and gave Gu Anhao a tight slap across her face. Slap! A clear and red palm print appeared instantly on Gu Anhao¡¯s face as her cheek started swelling in an instant. Gu Anhao could feel a burning sensation on her cheek where Mrs. Gu had just slapped her. Even if she really wanted to tear them apart now, she gritted her teeth as she held herself back. She knew that if she hurt the mother and daughter here today, they would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of her. If she were to hurt even one of Gu Shishi¡¯s fingers, the Gu family would definitely use this as an excuse to get her arrested. ¡®Gu Anhao, calm down! You can endure this!¡¯ Therefore, Gu Anhao clenched her fists tightly together, her fingernails embedded deeply into her own palms. She continued staring at Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu with a cold and hard expression on her face. Gu Shishi was a little more vigilant because she knew that she had already successfully provoked Gu Anhao. Moreover, she knew that Gu Anhao was more than capable of hurting her if she really wanted to. When Gu Anhao saw that Gu Shishi was acting in a more cautious manner, she sneered before she said, ¡°If I really cannot take this anymore one day, I don¡¯t mind going to prison as long as I can take both your lives beforehand!¡± Gu Anhao was very young and she had a very small frame but somehow, both Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu frowned and quickly stepped aside as soon as they heard her words. After walking out of the washroom, Gu Anhao could feel a burning pain on the spot where Mrs. Gu had just slapped her. Gu Anhao ignored all the onlookers who had heard all the commotion going on in the washroom, and she turned around and quickly walked into the elevator. There were a few hotel staff in the elevator and they realized that the young girl¡¯s eyes were red and swollen. Furthermore, it seemed as though someone had just slapped her because her left cheek was red and swollen. The people around her could not help staring at her from time to time, and even though they wanted to express their concern, they did not do so because she seemed to be impenetrable. Gu Anhao kept to herself as she ignored the whispers of concern from the people around her. Gu Anhao stepped out of the elevator without looking back as soon as it reached the ground floor. There was a huge commotion outside the hotel at this time. Gu Anhao did not expect the lobby on the ground floor of the hotel to be so lively. She was then attracted by the sound of reporters waiting near the VIP elevator. As soon as the VIP elevator arrived at the ground floor, the elevator door opened up and Zuo Hancheng appeared in front of everyone. If Gu Anhao did not see Zuo Hancheng at this moment, she would have already forgotten what she came here for. The reporters quickly surrounded Zuo Hancheng as they tried to get a picture of him. Zuo Hancheng looked very flustered as he did not expect the reporters to be camping at the Deways Hotel, waiting for him. It seemed as though he did not expect his whereabouts to be leaked to the media. Therefore, he looked at the reporters with a disgusted and disgruntled expression on his face as they captured his picture. However, what was even more shocking was the fact that Zuo Hancheng was not alone in the elevator. There was a young and beautiful woman who stepped out of the elevator after him. The woman was wearing a white chiffon dress and she had a very beautiful face that was as clear as the bright moon. As she was not wearing any thick clothing, she had a male suit jacket over her shoulders. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng came out of the elevator wearing only a shirt with no suit jacket. The suit jacket on the woman appeared to be his¡­ The young and beautiful woman was holding tightly onto Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm and the both of them were behaving in an intimate manner. The young woman took a few steps back as she stepped out of the elevator because she was slightly taken aback by the paparazzi. She continued holding onto Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm as the both of them quickly walked out of the elevator in a cautious manner. It seemed as though they had been caught red-handed. As Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu had already caused her to be very upset and angry earlier, Gu Anhao felt as though someone had just splashed a bucket of cold water over her when she witnessed this scene. She did not know why she suddenly felt a cold breeze or why she would even be surprised to see Zuo Hancheng with another woman. Even though Zuo Hancheng was her husband, the both of them did not feel anything for one another. The both of them got married in the first place only because they had been used or exploited, or maybe it was all out of sheer coincidence. Therefore, she should not even be shocked or surprised that he was having a relationship with another woman that he actually loved. She should not feel unhappy or jealous! This was absolutely unacceptable! Gu Anhao was probably surprised because Mobai told her that Zuo Hancheng was having a meeting with the boss of another multinational company. However, it turned out that he was actually having a date with another woman. That was the reason why it took her some time to calm down and sort out her own emotions at that particular moment. After regaining her composure, Gu Anhao remembered her purpose for coming here today. But why did these reporters suddenly appear? She missed out on her opportunity to share the news that would make it to the headlines just like that. Therefore, Gu Anhao was not bothered to even take out her phone to take pictures of Zuo Hancheng and the other woman. She made her way across the lobby of the hotel so that she could leave the scene immediately. As Gu Anhao was walking across the lobby, Zuo Hancheng looked up and saw Gu Anhao walking on the other side of the lobby, right behind the reporters and paparazzi. At the same time, he also saw the red mark on Gu Anhao¡¯s red and swollen left cheek. Chapter 41 Chapter 41 The woman who was standing next to him, holding tightly onto his arm, raised her head to look at Zuo Hancheng. She realized that he was looking at the other end of the lobby. The woman looked toward the other end of the lobby out of curiosity but she did not see anything. Was the most important thing right now not to get rid of these reporters? The woman quickly leaned against Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder as she asked him, ¡°Hancheng, what are you looking at?¡± Zuo Hancheng withdrew his gaze as he glanced as the young and beautiful woman standing next to him. After that, he asked her in a gentle voice, ¡°What do women usually do when they are in a bad mood?¡± ¡°What?¡± The woman, who was snuggled close to him, was stunned by his sudden question. After thinking about it for a short while, she replied, ¡°If I am in a bad mood, I will either cry by myself or go shopping to cheer myself up.¡± Cry? It seemed as though Gu Anhao was not crying at all. ¡°Then, what would you do if someone hits you?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The woman was a little confused and she did not know why Zuo Hancheng suddenly had so many inexplicable questions. However, since there were so many reporters and paparazzi around them, the woman did not want to let go of this opportunity to look like the both of them were sharing secrets with one another as they were whispering to one another with their heads lowered. Therefore, she shook her head before she whispered, ¡°I have never thought about it before, nobody would dare to hit me.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his brows before he let out a sigh. That was right. One was an orphan who had been bullied throughout her entire life whereas the other party was a celebrity who had a strong and powerful father in the American Chinese business community. How could he compare the both of them? *** Boom! It was getting dark and the rain was getting heavier. Anhao did not want to be hospitalized again. Since working hours had just ended, the pedestrians and office workers had already booked all the cabs, and Anhao would need to walk for another ten minutes to get to the bus station. Therefore, Anhao had to temporarily take shelter under the eaves of a cafe nearby. As she stood under the eaves in the strong and heavy rain, she leaned back against the wall of the cafe, trying to avoid the heavy rain. Anhao rubbed her cold arms as she raised her eyes to look at the dark dense clouds floating in the dark sky. She then recalled what her mother said to her when she was fourteen years old. ¡°Anhao, please don¡¯t blame your mother for choosing this path for you. You are still very young and this world is too complicated. No matter how the Gu family treats you, it is still better for you to have a family and a home, than for you to become a wild child wandering around on your own¡­¡± Family? Could that be considered a home? She had been punched, kicked and scolded ever since she started living in that house. She had to suffer numerous insults and humiliation daily, and her family treated her worse that they would treat a dog. This was because Mrs. Gu would always buy all sorts of new clothes and snacks for her puppy, but on the other hand, Gu Anhao had to survive on any leftovers that they gave her as she lived in a small and dark hut. She could still remember the first time she met Chunchun. At that time, Chunchun had asked her innocently why she was learning Taekwondo when she was the mayor¡¯s daughter. All the other young ladies from these prestigious families would usually learn how to play the piano, or take dancing or art classes instead. It was only much later that Chunchun finally discovered the hell that Anhao had suffered on a cold winter night five years ago. Anhao had no choice but to learn how to protect and defend herself because she did not have anyone else that she could rely on. If she did not learn how to protect herself, she would not be able to survive in this cruel world. However, Gu Anhao¡¯s hands were still tied even though she now had the ability to take revenge on those who bullied her in the past. The Gu family was extremely powerful. She would definitely have to pay the price and face very serious consequences if she even tried to touch Gu Shishi¡¯s hair. As an orphan, Gu Anhao could not afford to offend any of them unless she had the courage to face the consequences of taking revenge. When she was much younger, she always wanted to grow up as soon as possible. Now that she had already grown up, she realized that there was nothing that she could do to avenge her mother and herself. Now that she had grown up, she had to face the reality of this society, the indifference in the hearts of these people and the patience that she had to have to endure all of these unfairness. Gu Anhao could feel the cold wind drilling in from the bottom of her dress. She shivered reflexively, and at this time, the door of the cafe was suddenly pushed open from the inside. ¡°Anhao?¡± Anhao froze for a moment before she turned around and stared at the person who had just stepped out of the caf¨¦. She quickly turned around, wanting to walk away under the freezing rain. ¡°Anhao!¡± Yi Zeyang quickly stepped forward as he grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her back under the eaves. ¡°You just recovered after falling sick a few days ago. Do you want to fall sick again?¡± ¡°I am not as weak and delicate as you think I am! Let go of me!¡± Anhao refused to look at him as she struggled to free herself from his grasp. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Yi Zeyang continued holding onto Anhao¡¯s wrist as he could clearly feel that she was freezing. As he lowered his head to look at her, he saw the obvious red mark on the swollen left side of her cheek. Yi Zeyang squinted his eyes, and when Gu Anhao gradually stopped struggling, he quickly dragged her into the caf¨¦. ¡°What are you trying to do? Please let go of me¡­¡± Gu Anhao continued struggling but when she saw that there were many other people in the cafe, she stopped struggling and she quickly lowered her voice. Yi Zeyang dragged her toward an empty table as he sat her down. Gu Anhao could not help but glare angrily at him as she sat down on the sofa. She quickly shook his hand off as she turned around to look out the glass window that was not too far away. Yi Zeyang quickly called for a waitress before he made a request, ¡°Please get me a glass of ice and a clean towel. Thank you.¡± The waitress nodded before she left, and Yi Zeyang looked at Gu Anhao before he asked, ¡°What happened to your face?¡± Anhao did not bother to reply to his question and she merely continued staring out the glass window as she thought about how unlucky she was to run into him at this cafe. Yi Zeyang could not help but sigh when he realized that Gu Anhao had no intention of answering him. ¡°I was supposed to meet up with a friend at this cafe but he stood me up. I really did not expect to run into you here.¡± Gu Anhao continued keeping quiet but when she saw another waitress passing by, she suddenly asked, ¡°Excuse me, can you get me a glass of wine, please? Thank you.¡± ¡°Okay, miss. What kind of wine do you want?¡± ¡°What is the strongest beverage that you serve here? Do you serve beer or liquor? It would be best if you can get me a glass of brandy. It does not matter how much it is. Anyway, the man sitting next to me can definitely afford to pay for the drink.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Yi Zeyang frowned when he heard Gu Anhao¡¯s words. ¡°What is wrong with you? What happened to you today? Who hit you in the face? What problem can you solve by drinking?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Anhao, talk to me!¡± Yi Zeyang had always been like an elder brother to her and this was the first time that he had ever spoken to her using such a harsh tone. Anhao was not used to it at all. At this time, the waitress quickly delivered a glass of brandy over to them. Gu Anhao took the glass of brandy before taking a big sip. The taste of the brandy was not that strong but as Anhao drank too quickly, she choked and started coughing. However, she closed her eyes and continued to force herself to finish the glass of brandy. Yi Zeyang could not sit still and watch on so he grabbed the square glass in her hand before he dropped the glass on the ground, smashing it directly. Gu Anhao was extremely stunned and before she could even regain her senses, Yi Zeyang had already stood up and was grabbing Gu Anhao¡¯s hand. This was the first time that she had ever seen him reacting in this manner, and she could not help herself from stuttering as she was so nervous, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chapter 42 Chapter 42 ¡°It seems like the cafe is not the place for you.¡± Yi Zeyang had a cold and solemn expression on his face as he pulled her up before leading her out of the cafe forcibly. ¡°Yi Zeyang! Let go of me!¡± Gu Anhao exclaimed as she started panicking. ¡°Let go of me now! Let go of me. I am not going anywhere with you!¡± As the both of them were about to walk out of the cafe, the waitress quickly ran after them as she hurriedly said, ¡°Sir! I have the ice cubes and towel that you asked for!¡± Yi Zeyang paused for a moment before he took the bag of ice cubes and the towel from the waitress before he dragged Gu Anhao out of the caf¨¦. Half a minute later, Yi Zeyang pushed Gu Anhao into the car. Even though the car seat was made of soft leather, Gu Anhao was hurt because of the force he exerted. Therefore, she started panicking a little. ¡°Yi Ze¡­¡± However, Yi Zeyang had already closed the car door behind her before she could even complete her sentence. After that, he walked over to the other side of the car as he got into the driver¡¯s seat. The heavy rain continued falling and the both of them could hear the muffled sounds of the rain from inside the car. Gu Anhao took a deep breath and straightened her body as she tried to open the car door. Yi Zeyang opened his mouth and said, ¡°Why are you still trying to hide from me?¡± Gu Anhao¡¯s body stiffened upon hearing his words. ¡°Your roommate told me that you came down with a high fever just a few days ago because of the rain. I can already guess why you don¡¯t want to see me right now. I can also tolerate your attitude until you are in a better mood because I am worried about your condition and your health. I will not force you to talk about anything else with me but you have to tell me what happened to your face. Tell me who hit you?¡± Gu Anhao slowly retracted her hand and she felt as though she was losing control of herself. She quietly leaned against the car seat as she continued staring at the heavy rain outside the car window. Gu Anhao could suddenly feel a cold tingling sensation on her face and she subconsciously tried to move away but Yi Zeyang quickly stopped her. Yi Zeyang wrapped some ice in the towel, and he placed it against her cheek. Gu Anhao suddenly recalled the times where Yi Zeyang would help her to clean up, and take care of all her wounds and injuries whenever she got injured when she was younger. If her injuries were much more serious, then he would always take her to the hospital without saying anything at all. Someone once said that sometimes, it was difficult for someone to break down no matter how much a person was hurting inside. However, if someone who cared about that person was there to comfort them, then the pain would somehow amplify and tears would start falling unwittingly. This was exactly what Gu Anhao was feeling right now. She had been trying to hold back her tears and she had been desperately enduring the pain. However, she could not stop her tears from falling down. She quickly raised her hand to push him away. ¡°No need to ice my face. I am fine. I will be fine in two days¡¯ time.¡± Yi Zeyang gently pushed her hand away as he continued comforting her, putting the ice wrapped in the towel on her red and swollen face. Gu Anhao turned and looked at Yi Zeyang, and she saw that his brows were knitted together. He was obviously feeling very upset and distressed because of her. ¡°I don¡¯t think that you got into a fight with your classmates because I don¡¯t believe that anyone would dare to hit you like this. Moreover, with your bad temper, the other party would have already been completely crushed before they could get their hands on you,¡± Yi Zeyang said ¡°So, did the Gu family do this to you?¡± Gu Anhao did not reply. She simply raised her hand and took the towel from him before she said, ¡°I can do it myself.¡± Yi Zeyang could tell that she was deliberately keeping her distance from him. However, he could not bear to reprimand or accuse her of anything because of the state that she was already in. Therefore, he retracted his hand before he started the car. ¡°Since your face is already so swollen, it is not convenient for you to go back to school now. I will bring you to the hospital first so that the doctor can take a look at your injury, okay?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao replied as she placed the ice pack against her cheek. The cold and stinging sensation was the only thing that was keeping her thoughts rational at this time. After that, she looked out the window before she said, ¡°You can just drop me off at the intersection up front.¡± Yi Zeyang looked at the traffic light that was about one hundred meters away and his heart sank immediately. ¡°The intersection up front? That is a street filled with bars. What do you want to do there?¡± What was she planning to do? Anhao was already feeling very down. She put down the towel as she looked at Yi Zeyang. ¡°You were the one who dragged me into the cafe in the first place! And you were also the one who dragged me into your car! I never asked you to drive me anywhere. Since you insisted on being a good person, then you should just send me to a bar! All I want to do right now is to drink. Why are you trying to control me? Who do you think you are?¡± Yi Zeyang frowned but when he saw that Gu Anhao was desperately trying to hold back her tears, he resisted the urge to reprimand her. He restrained himself and controlled his anger as he started the car engine and started driving immediately. Gu Anhao did not say anything else when she saw that Yi Zeyang was really driving toward the intersection. It was only when that silver-grey Mercedes-Benz stopped right in front of a bar that Gu Anhao continued sitting rigidly in the passenger seat without moving an inch. She could not understand why he would send her to the bar without any complaints at all. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that all you wanted to do is to drink?¡± Yi Zeyang said when he saw the stiff expression on her face. After that, he unbuckled her seat belt before he said, ¡°I will drink with you then!¡± After that, Yi Zeyang got out of the car before he closed the car door behind him and walked toward the main entrance of the night bar. Anhao continued sitting in the car for a minute before she took a deep breath and quickly ran after Yi Zeyang. Inside the dark bar¡­ There were many crystal coffee tables with many bottles containing different types of liquor. This was one of the more luxurious night bars in A City. Many of the rich young kids would always be hanging out in this bar and therefore, the prices of the brandy, whiskey, bailey and all the other liquors were all marked up in this bar. Yi Zeyang then sat down on the sofa opposite her before he asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you drinking?¡± Gu Anhao could tell that Yi Zeyang was really mad at her this time. However, Gu Anhao was also a very stubborn and rebellious person, and the more someone tried to control her, the more she would try to go against the person¡¯s wishes. Therefore, Anhao fearlessly grabbed a bottle of whiskey on the table and opened the cap before she started drinking directly from the bottle. Yi Zeyang could not hold back his anger and he rolled his fingers into a fist when he saw that Anhao had completely lost herself. He continued sitting back as he watched Anhao drinking without a care in the world. He placed his gaze on her, as though he was trying to see right through her. He wanted to know what she had gone through and experienced in the past five years. Yi Zeyang felt like he did not know who Gu Anhao was anymore. She had changed so much that it felt like the person in front of him was a complete stranger. Gu Anhao placed the bottle of whiskey back on top of the table after a few gulps. She raised her hand to wipe her mouth before she said in a happy tone, ¡°I guess I should be really happy that I met someone like you. The cost of these bottles of liquor on this table should be more than enough for me to buy a house in A City! Hahaha. What luxury!¡± After she was done speaking, Gu Anhao continued smiling as she picked up another bottle of liquor. She did not want to touch the kind of wine that young girls would usually drink. Therefore, she picked up a bottle of brandy before she poured it into her mouth without any hesitation at all. It felt as though her mind was exploding right this moment! Yi Zeyang finally got up and walked toward Gu Anhao because he could not hold back any longer. He kicked the crystal table in front of Anhao and the bottles of expensive liquor tumbled over and shattered all over the ground. Gu Anhao was completely caught off guard and she was stunned by his reaction. Yi Zeyang then quickly grabbed the bottle of liquor that she was holding in her hand. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 When Anhao saw that the bottle of brandy that she had in her hand was thrown to the ground by Yi Zeyang, she did not know whether she was shocked because this was the first time that she had ever seen him in such an enraged manner or whether she was simply shivering because she had been drenched in rain so she was feeling extremely cold at this time. Yi Zeyang grabbed hold of Anhao¡¯s wrist as he pulled her closer to him. Anhao lost her footing and crashed directly into his arms. Yi Zeyang let go of Anhao¡¯s arm as he pushed her away from his chest. After that, he stared directly into her eyes in a firm manner. ¡°Why do you want to mistreat yourself like this? What can you achieve by making yourself drunk today? Do you really want me to be mad at you?¡± Gu Anhao felt that her shoulder was already hurting and she could not stop her body from trembling uncontrollably. She felt a little dizzy, perhaps because of the liquor that she had drunk earlier. She had drunk some whiskey and brandy with high alcohol content. She did not think that she would be able to hold her liquor. At least, the Yi Zeyang who was standing before her now still looked like a person and not just a shadow. Gu Anhao could not stop herself from laughing as she turned her head away in an indifferent manner. She lifted her hands as she tried to push him away. ¡°I am not angry. I am not mad at anything. All I want is to go back to school and get a good sleep. I just want everything to be over and done with. I have already endured so much abuse and humiliation for so many years. Do you really think that I would lose control of myself just because I was abused by two crazy women?¡± *** Yi Zeyang pushed her hand away before he replied, ¡°So, is that the reason why you want to drink tonight? Just to make me angry?¡± Anhao continued smiling as she replied, ¡°Do you really think you are so important to me? Why would I want to make you mad intentionally?¡± Gu Anhao continued chuckling as she looked at the illusion in front of her. ¡°I am just in a very bad mood today and I ran into you. If I did not take advantage of this opportunity to trick you into buying me drinks, then I am afraid that I will not have this kind of opportunity in the future. Who would have known that you would fall for my tricks so easily? I did not force you to drink with me¡­¡± Yi Zeyang felt as if he would really go insane and suffer from a heart attack if he were to continue bickering with her. Just as he was about to let go of her, Anhao, who was unable to stand straight on her own, quickly grabbed hold of his hand as she fell directly into his arms. Yi Zeyang quickly raised his arms to support her. ¡°Anhao, even if you are feeling unhappy, you should not try to bury your grievances by drinking. You will not be able to solve anything by drinking. I know that you are very upset and I know that you have suffered a lot. If you don¡¯t want to continue living with the Gu family, I can¡­¡± Before Yi Zeyang could even complete his sentence, he felt himself being dragged down by the neck. Gu Anhao had already wrapped her arms around his neck as she was clinging tightly onto him. At this time, Gu Anhao was leaning against him as she rested her head against his chest. Yi Zeyang¡¯s body stiffened as he wrapped his arms around her waist. ¡°Anhao¡­¡± ¡°Shh¡­¡± Gu Anhao suddenly looked up at him with a smile on her face as she stared at the handsome face before her in a drunken state. ¡°Yi Zeyang, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what is going on in your mind right now!¡± The person that he was holding in his arms was no longer the young girl who did not have a figure. Instead, she was now a young woman with a beautiful figure, and Yi Zeyang could feel Anhao¡¯s warm body through their thin clothing. Yi Zeyang wanted to subconsciously push her away but Anhao quickly grabbed tightly onto him, refusing to let go as she wrapped her arms around him. Yi Zeyang frowned and he wanted to remind Anhao to take care of her image but Anhao smiled as she placed her finger on his lips. ¡°What can you do for me if I do not want to stay with the Gu family anymore? Will you buy me a house and make the necessary arrangements so that I can live there? Will you find someone to take care of me and ensure that I complete my studies successfully so that I can make it into a university? Will you also make sure that I get a good job in the future?¡± Gu Anhao giggled as she spoke and she moved her fingers around as she continued teasing him by flickering the buttons on the collar of his shirt. Yi Zeyang could smell her alcoholic breath as she leaned against his neck. ¡°We are not even related so why are you treating me so well? You are not my brother, or my father or my husband. So, what are you trying to gain by getting closer to me? Huh?¡± Gu Anhao did not look like a nineteen-year-old girl right now. Yi Zeyang could not comprehend where Gu Anhao had learnt to behave like this as she tried to seduce him. His brows were knitted together as he frowned. What was even worse was that Yi Zeyang actually wanted to hold her even more tightly in his arms after listening to what she had just said. She was all that he could think about¡­ He closed his eyes and cleared his head before holding her firmly by her shoulders. ¡°Anhao, please be good and listen to me. Stop causing any more trouble today. If you really want to leave the Gu family, of course I will¡­¡± ¡°Will you support me then?¡± Anhao interrupted him and leaned against his body without listening to anything that he was saying. When she saw the frown on Yi Zeyang¡¯s face, Anhao grinned as she said, ¡°Yi Zeyang, you have always known that I liked you. I liked you even when I was still a young girl five years ago! I liked you even when I was still calling you my elder brother! You have always known that I was in love with you. You even know that I secretly kissed you in the past.¡± Anhao continued laughing as she leaned against his chest. ¡°But you left me anyway! And now, you are already engaged and you are going to marry another woman soon! You knew that I was in love with you but you decided to get engaged with someone else. You chose to leave me behind so what are you doing now? Why do you care so much about me?¡± Anhao could not stand on her own anymore and Yi Zeyang had to hold on to her to prevent her from falling down. ¡°I did not leave you behind! This is all a huge misunderstanding between us. This is also the reason why I came back to explain things to you but you have been avoiding me because you refuse to give me an opportunity to explain myself. Anhao, can we please talk about this after you sober up? I will find you a place to rest first because you are not listening to anything that I am saying right now. Please just listen to me this one time.¡± Anhao laughed as she continued leaning against his chest, refusing to back away. After that, she lifted her hands and wrapped them tightly around his neck. Yi Zeyang tried to push her away as he said, ¡°Anhao, can you please behave yourself?¡± However, Anhao tiptoed as she kissed him directly on the lips. As soon as their lips touched, Yi Zeyang quickly pushed her away as he yelled, ¡°What are you doing? Are you insane?¡± Anhao ignored the fire in his eyes and the rage that he was feeling at the moment. Anhao decided that she would just make him hate her, like everyone else already did since she had already made him angry. ¡°You are going to get married to someone else soon but yet here you are, still by my side even though it is already so late at night. You know that I am in love with you. So, why are you here with me when you already have a fianc¨¦e?¡± ¡°Are you planning to fool around with a few more women before getting married? Are you trying to enjoy yourself more before you get stuck in a marriage? Is that why you are trying to get in the pants of the young Anhao that you brought up ever since she was a young girl? Well, alright then. I will take the initiative today. Since you are not married yet, we can do whatever you want to tonight!¡± After that, Anhao pushed Yi Zeyang¡¯s arms away as she continued kissing him in a forceful manner. Yi Zeyang could not tolerate it any longer when she tried to open the buttons on his shirt. He pushed her away before he raised his hand and gave her a tight slap across her face. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Yi Zeyang gave Gu Anhao a tight slap across her left cheek that was already red and swollen. Gu Anhao was surprised and she staggered backward after getting slapped by him. She fell onto the sofa in a state of embarrassment. Her clothes were in a mess when she collapsed onto the sofa but nothing was revealed. Her hair was stuck all over her wet face, and her petite body and face suddenly looked abnormally pale. Yi Zeyang suddenly came to the realization of what he had just done. She already had an injury on her left cheek and he had actually given her a slap on that exact same cheek. Yi Zeyang looked at his hand with a stiff expression on his face. He could feel a warm burning sensation on his palm and this simply showed how heavy his slap was. Yi Zeyang turned around to look at her, and Gu Anhao was getting up from the sofa. She had her head lowered and she was straightening out her clothes without saying a word. Gu Anhao kept her head lowered and Yi Zeyang could not see the expression on her face. After a short while, Anhao pulled up the zipper of her coat before she mumbled, ¡°I am sorry. I must have drunk too much¡­ I almost forgot¡­ that someone of my status would never be worthy of the young owner of the Yishi Group¡­¡± The pain that Yi Zeyang was feeling in his heart was suffocating him, it was as if he could not breathe. He reached out and tried to help Anhao as she got up from the sofa but she deliberately avoided him, keeping her head down. After she stood up, Anhao felt as if she was floating in mid-air and she staggered as she tried to head toward the exit. When Yi Zeyang saw that Anhao could not even walk in a straight line, he turned around and quickly grabbed hold of her arm. ¡°Anhao!¡± Anhao gave him the cold shoulder and she did not even turn around to look at him. She simply allowed him to hold onto her arm as she said, ¡°Yi Zeyang, if you really care about me, then just let me retain whatever dignity and self-esteem that I have left. You don¡¯t have to do anything for me anymore. In fact, I knew what I was doing all along and I also know how you reacted. You are right. I am simply too na?ve and impulsive, and I apologize for my inappropriate behavior¡­¡± Yi Zeyang held tightly onto her wrist, with no intentions of letting go at all. ¡°Okay, I promise not to say anything anymore. We will talk about this when you sober up. Please just let me look at your face first.¡± Anhao shook her head and she turned away from him as he was about to walk in front of her. ¡°I am fine.¡± As soon as Gu Anhao spoke, Yi Zeyang caught sight of her left cheek and he could see that her left cheek was not only swollen but there was a glaring red mark on her cheek. Her cheek was already red and swollen from the slap earlier, and she was probably already injured but he actually slapped her again because he could not control his anger. He could even see a trace of blood at the corner of her lips. Gu Anhao lowered her head as she continued avoiding his line of sight. He had once doted on her and spoiled her, but he was the one who hurt her feelings today with his bare hands. Yi Zeyang felt so distressed that he wanted to die! However, there was nothing that he could say. He knew that he should have just held her tightly in his arms and comforted her instead of pushing her away and giving her a slap across the face earlier on. But the timing was wrong. Everything was wrong. In this kind of situation, it felt as though his apology would be superfluous. Therefore, he chose not to speak anymore. He wrapped his coat around her before he took her out of the night bar. Before leaving the bar, Yi Zeyang instructed the bartender to charge all of the alcohol consumption and any losses that they had caused to Yishi Group. After getting into the car, Anhao felt her head throbbing painfully. She kept silent and sat quietly in the car, as though she did not exist at all. This was not her usual character. ¡°I will bring you to the hospital.¡± ¡°That is not necessary,¡± she replied. ¡°I would be quite useless if I have to go to the hospital just because of two slaps, right? Besides, I need to have some injuries every now and then just to remind myself what a coward I am, and what kind of mistakes I should avoid making.¡± ¡°You always ask me how I have been ever since I moved into the Gu family mansion. Yi Zeyang, all I can tell you is this, I had to learn how to stand up on my own, time and time again. That is when I learnt that having some injuries every now and then will keep me sober and alert. You can accuse me of self-mutilation or abuse but there is nothing that I will say to defend myself. This is how I am now.¡± Yi Zeyang raised his hand to caress her forehead while he continued driving with one hand on the steering wheel. The heaviness that he was feeling in his heart made it really difficult for him to continue arguing with her. Therefore, he turned his car around as he changed his destination. ¡°I will bring you to a nearby hotel. You should rest and have a good sleep first before¡­¡± ¡°Just send me back to school.¡± Yi Zeyang frowned as he turned to look at Gu Anhao. ¡°Are you sure that you want to go back to school now?¡± ¡°Chunchun and Huang Amao are the only two people living in the same dormitory as me. They know everything about my life and they probably know the surname of the eighth generation of my ancestors. I do not need to hide anything from them because I will not feel embarrassed or awkward with them. On the contrary, I will feel much better if they are by my side.¡± Yi Zeyang did not say a word but when he heard that she would feel better with her good friends around her, he glanced at her one last time before making his decision. He finally chose to compromise before driving her to A High in his Mercedes-Benz. Anhao continued staring out the window as she stared at the street lights while the silver-grey Mercedes-Benz cruised on the road. *** About five to six years ago, Anhao had just entered her teenage years and she started wanting to be close to Yi Zeyang wherever he was. Although she called him her elder brother, she could not stop herself from developing feelings for him. The reason was because she felt as though he was her sunshine, and that he brought her all the warmth and happiness in the world. That was why she was so attracted to him. There was one incident at a basketball tournament where Yi Zeyang won the game because of his gameplay, and Anhao was so happy and excited that she ran through the cheering crowd and jumped into Yi Zeyang¡¯s arms before kissing him. At that time, Yi Zeyang did not put too much thought into the situation and he merely patted her head gently as he smiled. After that, Yi Zeyang started to realize that Anhao would constantly be by his side. When Anhao heard some rumors that Yi Zeyang was having a scandal with one of the most beautiful girls in school, she played the rogue. She would ask him to pick her up from school every day just so that he would not be able to spend any time with that girl after school. As time passed, Gu Anhao¡¯s possessiveness became more and more obvious. She did not expect herself to develop this kind of feelings for Yi Zeyang because she was still young and he was eight years older than her. There was no way that the both of them could avoid one another because they were living under the same roof. Therefore, they would just avoid any topics that were related to relationships and Yi Zeyang would always pretend not to know how she felt about him. When Gu Anhao came home with first class honors during her first year of junior high school, she quietly ran into his room that night. When she saw that he was sleeping, she kissed him gently on the face. As Anhao was retreating after kissing him, Yi Zeyang suddenly raised his hand and stopped her as he placed his hand on her shoulder. At that time, Anhao was stunned as she thought that Yi Zeyang was fast asleep. After that, Yi Zeyang opened his eyes as he whispered to Anhao, with the moonlight shining through his bedroom window. He told her that he would be going to the United States in a few days¡¯ time and he wanted her to concentrate on doing the things that she should be focusing on at her age. He also told her not to overthink it, and do things that she should not be doing. Anhao was still young and na?ve and so she asked him, ¡°I would have already grown up by the time you came back from the United States. Can I do what I want to do then?¡± At that time, Yi Zeyang simply looked at her without saying anything. He ran his fingers through her hair before he replied that he would consider the possibilities after she had finally grown up. Neither one of them rejected the other party but even though the both of them were not related, everyone in the Yi family had always regarded the both of them as siblings. Some emotions blew by as breezily as the wind, and it was impossible for things to change overnight. Moreover, the only reason Yi Zeyang refused to reject her feelings, but instead said that he would consider it in the future, was because he was mature and he did not want to hurt her feelings. At that time, Anhao was very happy because as an ignorant fourteen-year-old, she was filled with expectations, and she was more than willing to wait for him. After that, Yi Zeyang went to the United States and a short while later, Anhao and her mother were eventually kicked out of the Yi family¡¯s mansion. That was when Anhao fell from heaven to hell. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The car quickly headed toward the direction of A High. Anhao sat quietly in the passenger seat. She did not even bother asking Yi Zeyang the question: Have you considered it? She did not see the need to ask him that question anymore because it seemed as though he had already given her a silent answer after returning to the country. He was already engaged to another woman. That was the most direct answer that he could ever give her. Moreover, he did not even include her name in the banquet list for his engagement. Yi Zeyang planned to walk her to her bedroom after parking the silver-grey Mercedes-Benz in front of the school entrance. However, Gu Anhao rejected him immediately. Anhao used one single sentence to prevent Yi Zeyang from stopping her from being willful. ¡°I am going to repeat myself one more time. If you care about me at all, then you will allow me to retain any remaining dignity and self-esteem that I still have. My face is fine. I will recover after a few days. Please just leave me alone from now on. Thank you!¡± As soon as she was done speaking, Anhao pushed the car door open before she got out of the car. Yi Zeyang¡¯s outstretched hand froze in midair as he stared at Gu Anhao¡¯s back. After getting out of the car, Anhao rolled her fingers into a fist as she focused on walking straight even though she was already drunk. The cold wind blew at her and a very seriously drunk Anhao suddenly felt as though she had just woken up from Yi Zeyang¡¯s tight slap. When the wind blew against her body again, Anhao felt as though the alcohol was taking over her body. She did not want to fall unconscious on the ground because she would be seen as a joke on campus. Therefore, she tried to keep herself calm as she tried walking toward her bedroom in a straight line. When the silver-grey Mercedes-Benz finally left, a black Bentley suddenly appeared before parking across the street outside the entrance of A High. Strange! Anhao walked for a while as she looked down at her feet. She was obviously walking in a straight line but somehow, she was not walking toward the direction of the dormitory. After looking at her surroundings, Anhao suddenly realized that she was in fact walking toward the grove. Anhao raised her hand before rubbing it against her forehead and turning around to walk back toward the direction of the dormitory. She had only taken a few steps when her cell phone started ringing. She anxiously picked up her phone and answered the call without even looking at the caller ID. She placed the phone against her ear as she said impatiently, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°I will give you two minutes to come out,¡± Zuo Hancheng said over the other end of the line. Anhao¡¯s eyes widened in amazement as soon as she heard his voice. After that, she looked to her left and right in a daze. Come out? Where should she go? After looking at the gate at the entrance of the school, Anhao finally realized where Zuo Hancheng wanted her to go. Anhao shook her head because she was starting to feel even dizzier. After hanging up the phone, Anhao started walking toward the school gate as she thought about the cool and irresistible tone over the other end of the phone. After walking out of the school gate, Anhao did not see anyone there and she initially thought that she was hallucinating because she had drunk too much earlier. She even thought that she had drunk-dialed Zuo Hancheng. Anhao raised her hand to her forehead as she turned around, intending to head back to her dormitory. At this time, she suddenly noticed a car that was parked across the road. She felt that the black Bentley looked extremely familiar. Zuo Hancheng was standing outside the car, dressed in a long black trench coat. He was casually leaning against the side of his car as he had one hand inserted in his trousers¡¯ pocket, the cold wind blowing against him. As he was standing directly under the streetlamp, she could not see the expression on his face and all that she could see was his vague shadow. Seriously! No matter how handsome or superior this man was, did he not know that it was really awkward and scary for him to be standing there in the dark? This was especially so because the school was empty in the middle of the night and it had been raining heavily just a short while ago. Anhao rolled her eyes before she walked toward that man. Gu Anhao focused on walking in a straight line and keeping herself steady because she did not want to embarrass herself in front of Zuo Hancheng. After walking over to him, Anhao could finally see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face clearly. She stood in front of him as she tried to suppress the pain and dizziness in her head. After a brief moment, she asked, ¡°What do you want? Why are you waiting in front of the entrance of my school in the middle of the night?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and he could immediately tell that she had been drinking. However, before he started questioning her, he looked at the red and swollen palm mark on her left cheek. When the cold wind blew, Anhao shivered and she felt as though her head was hurting more and more. Zuo Hancheng raised his brows as he stared at the girl who was clearly drunk. He could see the red mark on her left cheek clearly as she tried to keep her body straight under the shine of the streetlamp. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you heeding any of my words at all? Why did you go drinking?¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand around her waist as he opened his car door before tucking her into the car. His act of pushing her into the car was almost the same as Yi Zeyang, and since he used quite a bit of strength, Anhao hit her head against a hard box inside the car. She whimpered as soon as she felt her head hurting, and she held her head in her hands as she yelled, ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her cries and her grievances as he closed the car door behind her. After getting into the driver¡¯s seat, he realized that Gu Anhao was already mildly unconscious as she sat in the passenger seat. Zuo Hanchneg reached out and pushed her so that she was leaning against the car seat. ¡°Sit properly.¡± ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Anhao asked as she held her head in her hands. She stared at him in a daze as though she was remembering something. ¡°Weren¡¯t you accompanying your new girlfriend at Deways Hotel earlier? Why did you come here to look for me? Do you really enjoy abusing me? Are you really addicted to bullying me?¡± There was an expression of sadness on Gu Anhao¡¯s face as she continued rubbing her head. Her left cheek was red and swollen, and there were traces of blood on the corner of her lips. Zuo Hancheng raised his brow as he reached out his hand and stroked her face gently. ¡°I really do not understand how you can have the mood to drink after getting hit. Gu Anhao, you are really amazing.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Gu Anhao replied as she suddenly raised her hand. After that, she yelled out in pain as she pushed his hand away. ¡°It hurts! Don¡¯t touch my cheek!¡± ¡°Why are you drinking when you are already hurting? Do you not want your face anymore?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked as he stared at her in a cold manner before driving off in the dark. Anhao leaned against the car window as she whispered, ¡°I did something really shameless tonight¡­¡± After that, she smiled as she lifted her head before she continued, ¡°But it did not feel like a dream at all. It felt like a nightmare instead. Hahaha¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her gibberish and the smirk on her face. He continued driving all the way back to Giltview Gardens. After getting off the car, Anhao clung tightly onto Zuo Hancheng, as though she was an octopus, as he dragged her into the house. After entering the house, he threw the drunk Anhao onto the sofa. Anhao opened her eyes and smiled before pointing her finger at him. ¡°You! Come, come over here. Do a striptease for me! Come, I will give you a tip!¡± Zuo Hancheng was taking off his black trench coat at that exact moment, and he turned to look at her as soon as he heard her words. When Gu Anhao saw that he was unimpressed, she felt around in her own bag for a short while before she finally took out a five yuan note and placed it on the coffee table in front of her in an arrogant manner. ¡°Here! I will pay you! You can start performing now!¡± When Zuo Hancheng saw the five yuan note on the coffee table, he could only stare blankly at her as he knitted his brows together. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 ¡°Why are you standing there like a wooden pole? Is the money not enough for you?¡± Anhao yelled as she stared at him. After that, she put her hands into her pockets to turn it inside out before she took out the gold card that Zuo Hancheng had given to her. ¡°Here! Look at this. I have a gold card! As long as you strip and dance to my satisfaction, I will give you as much money as you want!¡± Zuo Hancheng could not help but scoff at her drunken actions. She actually dared to use his money to pay for a man¡¯s company? Very good! ¡°Why? Why aren¡¯t you dancing for me yet?¡± Anhao was clearly frustrated as she walked up to him in an unsteady manner. After that, she lifted her finger before she poked him twice on the chest. ¡°I am asking you to strip and dance for me. Don¡¯t you understand what I am saying? Where is your boss? How did he hire such a second-rated actor who does not know how to act according to his customer¡¯s preferences? I am not even raping you or forcing you to do anything out of your own will! I am not even forcing you to drink with me. I am just asking you to perform a striptease for me! Ahh! What is the matter with you? Hurry up¡­ stop testing my patience! Ahh!¡± At that moment, Gu Anhao subconsciously screamed because someone had suddenly grabbed her wrist before pulling her over to him. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I am warning you. You are dead if you dare to drink even another drop of alcohol after today!¡± Zuo Hancheng yelled at her as he grabbed hold of her wrist. ¡°Go and take a shower, and sober up, now!¡± Gu Anhao frowned as she turned around and looked in the direction of the bathroom. After that, she turned around and looked at him with a confused expression on her face, as though she did not understand what he was trying to say. When Zuo Hancheng saw that the girl standing before him could not understand him at all because she was so drunk, he glared at her before he said, ¡°If you dare to get this drunk again, I will make sure to punish you! I will ask you to copy three years¡¯ worth of English books as a punishment.¡± Gu Anhao¡¯s body stiffened immediately as soon as she heard the words ¡®three years¡¯ worth of English books as a punishment¡¯. After that, she ran her fingers through her hair before she raised her hand to stroke Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cheek gently. ¡°Wow. You little brat! You are actually acting as though you are that big pervert, Zuo Hancheng! This is too ridiculous. That guy always acts as though he is the boss, and he is always trying to teach everyone a lesson. Are you really the same as he is?¡± She actually dared to call him a pervert! Zuo Hancheng knew that Gu Anhao was really drunk at this point. He pushed her hand away from his cheek as he stared at the stubborn and drunk girl standing in front of him. ¡°Take a good look at who is standing in front of you now.¡± ¡°Go away,¡± Gu Anhao said as she turned around, she glanced at the coffee table and cabinet that were in the distance. After that, she suddenly fumbled through her pockets before she muttered under her breath, ¡°Damn it. Why don¡¯t I have any cigarettes at all?¡± Zuo Hancheng rolled his eyes and suppressed his anger before dragging her all the way to the bathroom. ¡°Don¡¯t force me to sober you up using the same method that I used previously. Please go inside and wash up so that you can sober up on your own.¡± Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao were already standing in front of the bathroom door, but as soon as he released her hand, Anhao threw herself on him immediately. She looked at him through the corner of her eyes as she stared at him with a drunken expression on her face. She was obviously trying to get out of taking the bath. As Zuo Hancheng was about to drag Gu Anhao into the bathroom, she suddenly pulled him closer to her as she leaned forward and rested her head against his chest. She clung tightly onto him as she hugged his waist and leaned against his body like an innocent young child. She then suddenly spoke in a very coquettish tone, ¡°I am feeling so uncomfortable right now¡­ I don¡¯t want to take a bath. Is that okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng was startled because he had never expected to see this side of Gu Anhao. Gu Anhao was a master in Taekwondo and she would always get into fights with other people. Had she ever considered herself to be a female? She was so tough that she could even go to a bar to have a few drinks even after getting slapped in the face. Zuo Hancheng never expected to see Gu Anhao acting in such a coquettish manner. Gu Anhao instinctively clung onto Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body as she felt that his arms were very warm and comforting. At this time, she felt as though all her worries and sadness had already dissipated into thin air. She finally found a warm place that she could rely on. Therefore, Gu Anhao felt a little reluctant to move as she wanted to hold onto this warm and safe haven. She suddenly felt like she was a young child again. Initially, Zuo Hancheng intended to let Gu Anhao sober up first before he interrogated her about why Yi Zeyang was the one sending her back to school. However, Gu Anhao had subconsciously clung onto him and he could not help but feel his heart aching because of her. Zuo Hancheng could feel the warmth of her body as their bodies rubbed against one another through their thin clothing. Zuo Hancheng was certain that he was a normal man. He had already pretty much felt the allure of this little one from their previous encounter, and after having had to take a cold shower the last time, he was determined not to go through that same torture once more. He placed his arms around her waist as he supported her because she was so drunk that she could not even raise her head or stand straight on her own. Even though his mood was very complicated because of this girl, he finally sighed as he said in a low voice, ¡°Stop messing around already. Please go in and take a shower now. I promise that you will definitely feel better after taking a shower. Be good and listen to me, okay?¡± Anhao raised her head reluctantly and she stared at him for a brief moment before she finally nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Good girl,¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her head. ¡°Hurry up and go in.¡± Anhao entered the bathroom obediently and after a short while, Zuo Hancheng could hear the sound of running water. Even though Gu Anhao was drunk, she still had the instinct to adjust the temperature of the water before taking a bath. Zuo Hancheng then quickly searched for an ice pack. Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Zuo Hancheng went to the refrigerator and took out the ice pack that he had just put in before he walked toward the bathroom door. He was wondering whether Gu Anhao had fallen asleep in the bathtub because she was so drunk. Therefore, he walked toward the bathroom door because he wanted to open the door and check if she had already fallen asleep inside. At this time, Gu Anhao suddenly opened the bathroom door as she walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a white bathrobe. Gu Anhao¡¯s face was a little pinkish as she had soaked herself in the hot bath for the past twenty minutes, and she was still feeling very dizzy. When she saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the bathroom door, she said, ¡°I am done¡­¡± ¡°Come over here and sit down.¡± Zuo Hancheng brought Gu Anhao over to the sofa and sat her own. Gu Anhao was staring at Zuo Hancheng with a blank expression on her face but she jumped as soon as he placed the cold ice pack on her cheek. It was as though someone had just pressed the switch to make her jump because she was instantly stimulated by the cold, stinging sensation on her face. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng grabbed hold of her before sitting her back down on the sofa. ¡°So, you can still feel pain? Endure it! If you do not apply ice on your face now, your face will definitely be as swollen as a pig¡¯s head in the morning tomorrow!¡± Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Zuo Hancheng held her down firmly. Gu Anhao felt so much pain that she tried to defend herself by raising her hand to hit him. However, Zuo Hancheng grabbed her hand firmly as he pinned her down on the sofa. Gu Anhao punched and kicked the air as she tried to get out of his grasp. It was not surprising that Gu Anhao was in so much pain, considering how swollen and red her cheek was. ¡°It really hurts¡­¡± Gu Anhao cried out as she continued struggling. The pain that she was feeling made her feel as though she was about to cry. Her whole body was pressed down on the sofa and she stared at Zuo Hancheng with a distressed expression on her face. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, I am going to charge you for attempted murder!¡± ¡°It seemed as though taking a bath really helped. At least, you are sober enough to recognize who I am now,¡± Zuo Hancheng sneered in a lukewarm manner. What nonsense! Even a dead person could be brought back to life if anyone were to place such a cold ice pack against his face! Moreover, her face was seriously hurting. Even if she was very drunk, she would definitely be wide awake at this moment. Gu Anhao knew that it was absolutely worthless to struggle in front of this strong man. She was also feeling very uncomfortable and she had a massive headache because of the alcohol. Therefore, Gu Anhao could only rest her head against the side of the sofa, but she could not avoid the ice pack at all. All that she could do was to bite onto her lips as she tried to endure the pain. Zuo Hancheng frowned when he saw her biting her lips. Gu Anhao obviously did not know how tempting and seductive she looked right now as she was half-naked and only scantily clad in a white bathrobe. Furthermore, Zuo Hancheng was really captivated by Gu Anhao¡¯s unexpected confidence and courage. Zuo Hancheng wanted to ask Gu Anhao to stop biting her lips but he suddenly realized that she was biting her lower lip to the point where it had turned white. Gu Anhao was really in pain. She was only biting her lips because she was desperately trying to endure the pain. When Zuo Hancheng suddenly tightened his arms around her waist, Gu Anhao opened her eyes but she suddenly felt his warm lips and tongue brushing against her lips in an aggressive manner. The strong stench of alcohol in her mouth welcomed the clean and fresh breath of his, and Gu Anhao was feeling very confused at the moment. Gu Anhao was at a loss because she did not know why Zuo Hancheng was acting this way. She was in pain but what did she do wrong? Was she not allowed to cry out if she was in pain? The look of confusion and grievance in her eyes made Zuo Hancheng feel as though he was doing something seriously wrong. He felt as though he was taking advantage of an innocent young girl. But how could Gu Anhao be considered an innocent girl? She drank so much to the point where she got wasted! She did everything that made him dislike her and she even had the audacity to ask him why there were no cigarettes here! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he ought to teach her a lesson. Therefore, he pulled her closer to him as he held her tightly against his body. He continued kissing her and he could feel Gu Anhao moving slightly as though she had been placed in an unbearable position. Zuo Hancheng muttered under his breath before he dropped the ice pack that he was holding against her face. He was already prepared to bring her back to her bedroom so that he could teach her a lesson and straighten her out immediately. Just as he was about to carry her up in his arms, Gu Anhao¡¯s cell phone that was on the coffee table started ringing all of a sudden. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the cell phone before he subconsciously sat Gu Anhao down on the sofa. At this time, Gu Anhao opened her eyes as she stared at him with drunk and dull eyes. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, he simply walked toward the coffee table as he picked up the cell phone that was ringing continuously. He stared at the cell phone but it was a phone call from an unknown number that had not been saved. The cell phone continued ringing again and again, and this proved that the other party was indeed very persistent. Gu Anhao was lying on the sofa behind him and she pulled her bathrobe tightly together as she was feeling a little cold. She turned around to look at Zuo Hancheng before asking in a muffled tone, ¡°Who¡¯s calling?¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably a prank call,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied. After that, he threw the cell phone down before he turned around to pick her up, but the cell phone rang again, indicating that there was an incoming text message. The cell phone that had been thrown on the carpet next to the sofa displayed the content of the short message. Anhao, answer my call. Zuo Hancheng knitted his brows tightly together when he saw the intimate and commanding tone of the text message. Gu Anhao¡¯s cell phone then started ringing again. It was already in the middle of the night. Who was calling her so persistently? Who could be so concerned about her to this extraordinary extent? The Gu family? No, it was obviously impossible. Gu Anhao continued grunting in an uncomfortable manner behind him, and when she saw that Zuo Hancheng was ignoring her because he was lost in his thoughts, she picked up the ice pack before placing it on her forehead. Zuo Hancheng picked up the cellphone before he answered the call, and placed the cell phone against his ear. ¡°Anhao, where are you?¡± A man¡¯s voice sounded on the other end of the line. The expression on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face changed immediately. He felt that this voice was very familiar. This voice belonged to Yi Zeyang, the heir of Yishi Group. *** Yi Zeyang did not walk Gu Anhao back to her dormitory because he wanted to respect her wishes by leaving her alone. However, he knew that Gu Anhao had drunk too much alcohol, and even though he had already woken her up before sending her back to school, he was not certain that she would be able to get safely back to her dormitory. Furthermore, Yi Zeyang was worried because Gu Anhao also had a serious injury on her face. Therefore, after waiting for about half an hour, he called Gu Anhao¡¯s roommate, a girl named Chunchun. His original intention was to ask for her help to prepare an ice pack to apply on Anhao¡¯s injury so that her cheek would not be so red and swollen the next day. However, after speaking to Chunchun, Yi Zeyang found out that Gu Anhao did not make it back to the dormitory. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 When Yi Zeyang realized that the situation did not go as expected, he quickly drove back to A High to search for her on campus. Chunchun and Huang Amao could also feel that Yi Zeyang was worried so they hurriedly put on their coats and ran out of the dormitory to help him to search for her. The three of them continued searching for Gu Anhao together. Even though they kept calling her cell phone, they could not reach her at all. It seemed as though Gu Anhao had disappeared into thin air. Yi Zeyang searched in and out of the campus, and he was about to make a police report so that the police could gather a search party to look for her. As the three of them were making their way to the police station, Gu Anhao finally picked up. When Yi Zeyang did not get any response from the other end of the line, he frowned before he asked, ¡°Anhao, where are you? Answer me! Why didn¡¯t you go back to your dormitory like you said you would?¡± Yi Zeyang asked in a furious manner over the other end of the line. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Gu Anhao who was still holding the ice pack against her forehead. Zuo Hancheng stood up before he started replying to Yi Zeyang. ¡°I heard that Young Master Yi was recently invited to A High as a guest professor but I would never have expected you to be so anxious over the safety of a female student in the middle of the night.¡± Yi Zeyang stopped in his tracks as he was walking toward the car park. This voice¡­ Zuo Hancheng? Why was Gu Anhao¡¯s cell phone in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands? How could this be possible? Were his ears deceiving him? Zuo Hancheng, who was on the other end of the line, immediately confirmed Yi Zeyang¡¯s suspicions as he spoke in a clear and deep voice, ¡°I am Zuo Hancheng. Gu Anhao is here with me at my house.¡± Yi Zeyang could hear Gu Anhao¡¯s unpleasant grunting voice in the background. When Yi Zeyang heard Gu Anhao¡¯s voice in the background, the expression on his face changed in an instant, as though he had fallen into a cold abyss. ¡°Mr. Zuo?¡± Yi Zeyang knew that Gu Anhao was already drunk, and she would not have any strength to fight anyone off. Therefore, he was convinced that Gu Anhao was in a dangerous situation. However, he kept his cool and replied in a polite manner, ¡°Why is Anhao at your place? You and her¡­¡± ¡®What is your relationship?¡¯ Yi Zeyang refrained from asking further even though the words were already coming out of his mouth. He could only frown as he waited for Zuo Hancheng to clarify the matter. At this moment, Gu Anhao continued grunting in a distressed manner on the other end of the line, and Yi Zeyang could hear more muffled sounds followed by Anhao¡¯s soft and delicate voice, ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Gu Anhao sounded very helpless and distressed. Zuo Hancheng turned around to look at Gu Anhao who had fallen off the couch. At this moment, he suddenly guessed the reason for Yi Zeyang¡¯s sudden silence. He stared at the ungrateful person before he walked and carried her up in his arms. Gu Anhao was clearly upset because she had fallen off the sofa, and she kept waving her arms around as she cried out, ¡°I feel terrible¡­¡± ¡°Do you feel like throwing up?¡± Gu Anhao closed her eyes as she shook her head. ¡°Headache?¡± Gu Anhao nodded, and then shook her head as she stroke her tummy. ¡°It hurts here too¡­¡± It was obvious that Gu Anhao, who had such a small and petite body, had too much whisky with high alcohol content. Therefore, it was not surprising that Gu Anhao was feeling discomfort in her stomach. Zuo Hancheng patiently put her down on the sofa before he picked up the phone and placed it against his ear once again. ¡°Young Master Yi, are you looking for Anhao because of any urgent matter? If it¡¯s not urgent, can you please call her again tomorrow when she¡¯s sober?¡± ¡°How is she right now?¡± Yi Zeyang was worried and he was anxious to find out about Gu Anhao¡¯s condition. After all, he could hear her complaining that she was in pain and that she was feeling very uncomfortable. Zuo Hancheng turned around and glanced at Gu Anhao who was leaning on his chest as she rested her head against his arm. Her eyes were closed. ¡°She had too much to drink, so how else would she be feeling now?¡± ¡°Anhao is still a young and immature student. She doesn¡¯t know how to differentiate between right and wrong. Please forgive her if she is causing any inconvenience to you, Mr. Zuo.¡± Yi Zeyang replied as he walked toward his car. After entering his car, he continued speaking, ¡°Mr. Zuo, can you send me your current location? I will go over and pick Anhao up now.¡± ¡°It will not be necessary for you to come and pick her up.¡± Zuo Hancheng replied in a cold and indifferent voice, and because of the lack of emotions in his tone, Yi Zeyang could not tell what the relationship between Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng was. After starting his car, Yi Zeyang continued speaking, ¡°Mr. Zuo, please tell me your location. I do not want Anhao to bother you anymore. I will come and pick her up so that she will not be a burden to you, and you can have some quiet time to rest.¡± Zuo Hancheng could not stop himself from laughing out loud when he heard the persistence in Yi Zeyang¡¯s voice. He knew that his next sentence would definitely turn Yi Zeyang¡¯s world around. ¡°I knew that I would not have much of a quiet time ever since the day Gu Anhao officially became Mrs. Zuo.¡± The car had already started moving for more than ten meters when there was the piercing sound of a car braking. Zuo Hancheng ignored Yi Zeyang¡¯s reaction and he did not bother waiting for his reply. ¡°Anhao is my wife and I would like to advise Young Master Yi not to overstep some boundaries when it comes to your concern for female students from A High.¡± After he was done speaking, Zuo Hancheng hung up the phone before casually throwing the cell phone at the corner of the sofa. *** I knew that I would not have much of a quiet time ever since the day that Gu Anhao officially became Mrs. Zuo. This phrase continued echoing in Yi Zeyang¡¯s ears over and over again. This was too ridiculous. Anhao was only nineteen years old. There was still about three to four months before her twentieth birthday. How could Anhao possibly be married when she had not even reached the legal age to get married yet? But these words came directly from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth! Yi Zeyang put down his cell phone before he looked at his black cell phone screen. He parked his car at the side of the empty and quiet road as he was still in disbelief. Every now and then, a few cars would pass by with their headlights on. ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­ I feel so uncomfortable.¡± With Gu Anhao¡¯s temperament, she would never confess her pain to anyone that was not close to her or related to her in any way. Even if she felt like dying, she would not confess her pain to anyone. She was also holding back when she was with him earlier, and she did not even say anything as she was withholding the pain that she was feeling inside. Moreover, Gu Anhao also avoided his sight and turned away from him when she could no longer hold back her tears. What the hell was going on? How did Gu Anhao get involved with Zuo Hancheng? How did she become Mrs. Zuo? Anhao was clearly just a nineteen-year-old high school student. Was he drunk or did this world turn upside down? Yi Zeyang raised his hand as he rubbed his temple in frustration. After that, he opened his car door and stepped out of the car before he lit up a cigarette. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything was really unprecedented and uncalled for today. Moreover, Yi Zeyang recalled that Gu Anhao had intentionally stayed almost eight hundred feet away from him when they ran into each other the first time. Even though Yi Zeyang said that he was already back and that he was going to stay by her side to protect her, Gu Anhao merely shook her head and simply pushed him away without giving him the chance to explain himself at all. He wanted Gu Anhao to give him a clear explanation on what the hell was going on! However, when Yi Zeyang tried calling her again, the mechanical female voice on the other side of the line sounded, ¡°Sorry. The number that you have dialed is not available. Please try again later.¡± Yi Zeyang trembled as he held onto his cigarette before he suddenly cursed, ¡°F*ck!¡± He threw his cell phone onto the middle of the street because he could not hold back his anger and frustration anymore. ¡®Anhao, why are you so impatient? I worked so hard in the United States to ensure that everything was in place before I finally came back home.¡¯ Yi Zeyang was one step away from finding out the truth about what exactly happened to Gu Anhao and her mother in the past. He was almost rid of his so-called fianc¨¦e and the shackles that were holding him back so that he could finally explain everything to her. He was just one step away from the finish line before he could finally give Gu Anhao the answer that was five years late. Why was she so impatient? Was that the reason why Gu Anhao wanted to drown her sorrows by drinking in front of him, and hugging and kissing him forcibly? Was she trying to show him the distance between the both of them? Was that her way of bidding farewell to him? ¡®Gu Anhao, you are ruthless!¡¯ Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Gu Anhao seemed to be totally ignorant of what had happened even though Zuo Hancheng threw the cell phone at the corner of the sofa. Gu Anhao leaned her head against Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chest in a confused state. When Zuo Hancheng picked up the ice pack and applied it against her cheek, Gu Anhao shuddered and frowned before she buried herself in his arms as she mumbled, ¡°I am sorry¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Anhao who was resting in his arms. Gu Anhao should feel grateful that she was drunk. Otherwise, he did not know how she was going to sleep tonight! ¡°Who are you apologizing to?¡± Gu Anhao could hear a lukewarm voice coming from above her head. Anhao sniffled as she raised her head to look at Zuo Hancheng. After that, she raised her hand and touched his face as she grinned, ¡°I am apologizing to you.¡± Zuo Hancheng glared at her with a cold expression on his face because he was amazed that she could still lie when she was already drunk. Was she already sober? ¡°Sit up straight and look at me,¡± Zuo Hancheng instructed. However, it seemed as though Gu Anhao really did not have any strength to raise her head at all. She could only lean against him in a weak and helpless manner. Zuo Hancheng lifted up her chin, forcing her to look right into his eyes. Gu Anhao could not stop herself from shivering when she looked into his cold and indifferent eyes. She turned her head away so that she could free her chin from his hand and rubbed her eyes before closing it. ¡°I am so sleepy¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng let out a huge sigh before he grabbed her by her bathrobe and pulled her up from the sofa. ¡°Go to bed and sleep if you are tired. Come, let your husband coax you to sleep.¡± Zuo Hancheng brought Gu Anhao to his bedroom as though she was a little lamb. This time, Gu Anhao was holding her bathrobe tightly against her body so that it would not come loose again. However, as soon as the both of them arrived at the bedroom door, Zuo Hancheng stopped in an abrupt manner. Gu Anhao subconsciously raised her hand to push the door open as she was about to walk in. As soon as she touched the door knob, she was suddenly turned around by a strong force. Gu Anhao was so startled that she turned pale immediately as her body was forcefully pressed against the wall. She was staring right into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold and handsome face. She instinctively raised her hands to defend herself so that she could put some distance between the both of them but she could not push him away. Therefore, she was forced to look right into his eyes. ¡°When did you sober up? Were you pretending to be drunk all this while?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at the young girl who was pressed against the doorway. Gu Anhao¡¯s body was stiff and she looked extremely pale because she was feeling so nervous. Her red and swollen left cheek contrasted with the overall fairness of her face. Moreover, Gu Anhao raised one of her hands to block their bodies from touching as she desperately held onto her bathrobe with her other hand, out of fear for what he might do to her. ¡°Weren¡¯t you blatantly trying to seduce me earlier? What is going on now? Are you sober already?¡± Zuo Hancheng increased his grasp on her chin and Gu Anhao could only wince in pain before she replied, ¡°I woke up¡­ when I fell off the sofa¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at her with a cold and indifferent expression on his face as he said, ¡°So, you heard everything that I said on the phone?¡± Gu Anhao could not avoid his gaze and she had no choice but to nod her head. ¡°Yes, I heard everything.¡± ¡°Very good. This means that I do not need to wait until morning to listen to the lies that you are going to tell me.¡± After that, Zuo Hancheng trapped Gu Anhao between his body and the doorway leading into the bedroom. Gu Anhao felt as though Zuo Hancheng was a vicious villain who was oppressing her but she knew that she would not be able to get out of this situation. She could feel his cold eyes staring right at her. ¡°Explain yourself.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Anhao was stunned and she was at a loss for words. ¡°Explain? What do you want me to explain? I know that it is wrong of me to drink secretly behind your back but I am already feeling very miserable right now. You have already punished me. So, you don¡¯t have to¡­¡± ¡°You know what I am referring to so please do not change the subject.¡± Anhao bit her lip as she tried to push his hand away. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you¡­¡± ¡°Yishi Group is indeed very reputable in A City. Yi Zeyang has only returned to China for merely half a year and he is already preparing to inherit his family¡¯s business. So, what exactly is going on between the both of you? Huh?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not give her any opportunity to retreat, or dodge from his question. In fact, he did not know whether he was acting this way because Yishi Group and Shengling Group were both competitors in the business world. Everyone knew that even though there was partnership between the two huge enterprises, they could also be considered as rivals in the business industry. Therefore, the look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes was extremely sharp, and he locked his eyes on her like a hawk that would not let go of its prey. Gu Anhao was at a loss and she did not know what to do. She could only stare at him with a blank expression on her face before she finally replied, ¡°There is nothing going on between us and you also know that he is just a guest professor that A High invited to the campus not too long ago.¡± Zuo Hancheng had already gotten used to Gu Anhao¡¯s skill of lying without even blinking an eye. As the both of them were so close together, Gu Anhao could feel his warm breath against her face as he sneered. This was the first time that this man was so cold to her, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with her answer. When Gu Anhao finally realized that it was impossible for her to continue hiding the truth, she could only wish that she was still drunk at this time. This way, she could probably avoid having this conversation with Zuo Hancheng in the morning the next day. Who would have expected that she would sober up and be wide awake as soon as she fell off the couch? Moreover, this had to happen when Zuo Hancheng was answering an incoming phone call from Yi Zeyang. At that time, Gu Anhao felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She already anticipated that she would have to face this situation sooner or later. She knew that Yi Zeyang would find out about her marriage one way or the other. However, she did not expect him to find out about it so soon or in this manner. Gu Anhao wanted to pretend that she was still drunk and avoid this topic for a little longer but there was no way that she could escape Zuo Hancheng. She suddenly recalled that Zuo Hancheng was waiting for her in front of her school entrance. She realized that Zuo Hancheng probably saw Yi Zeyang sending her back to the campus. The only reason why he did not ask her about it was simply because she was so drunk earlier and he would not have been able to get an answer out of her anyway. Therefore, Gu Anhao knew that there was nothing that she could do but to explain the situation to him. ¡°When I was younger¡­ my mother brought me along with her when she remarried into the Yi family. Yi Zeyang is my brother.¡± Gu Anhao hoped that Zuo Hancheng would not ask too many questions since she had already provided this kind of explanation. True enough, Zuo Hancheng was stunned for a moment because of the unexpected answer. The coldness in his eyes started to fade gradually when he realized that Gu Anhao was telling him the truth. ¡°When you were still a child?¡± Gu Anhao did not want to talk about this but she really did not want Zuo Hancheng to misunderstand the relationship between Yi Zeyang and herself. Therefore, she swallowed her pride and said, ¡°I already told you that I am an illegitimate child that the Gu family refuses to recognize. My mother got separated from Gu Tianming when she was still pregnant with me. After that, she married someone else and I grew up in that family. My mother sent me back to the Gu family before she died so that I would be ¡®lucky¡¯ enough to be the mayor¡¯s daughter¡­¡± ¡°Enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. He could see the pain and unwillingness in her eyes and he knew how miserable she must have felt when she was trying to explain everything to him. He did not want to force her to relive those wounds that she was trying to forget. ¡°That¡¯s enough. You don¡¯t have to say anything else.¡± Chapter 50 Chapter 50 ¡°That¡¯s enough. You don¡¯t have to say anything else.¡± Zuo Hancheng squinted at Gu Anhao. He did not even notice that he sounded much more relaxed now. He raised his hand and caressed her head gently, silently soothing her, and it seemed as though he was trying to apologize for making her relive those terrible times. Anhao was starting to feel better but she was still showing slight resistance as she said, ¡°Can you stop patting me on my head all the time as though I am a little puppy? I am not a puppy!¡± The corners of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curved upwards as he dropped his hands down to her waist playfully before stroking her through her bathrobe in a very intimate manner. ¡°So, how do you want me to touch you? Do you want me to touch you like this?¡± Gu Anhao started blushing and her face turned red in an instant. Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to pull her bathrobe apart, she quickly raised her hand to cover her face. ¡°Ouch! My face is hurting so much.¡± She was still telling lies even when she was already sober. However, she was much cuter when she was drunk and was biting her lips to seduce him after falling off the sofa. No matter what it was, Zuo Hancheng did not tease her anymore as he opened the bedroom door and stepped out of the bedroom. Gu Anhao quickly took a few steps back, and when she saw that Zuo Hancheng had finally left the room, she let out a huge sigh of relief. After that, Zuo Hancheng turned around and said, ¡°There is a small first aid kit under the bedside table in the bedroom. You can look inside and see if there is any medicine that you can apply on your face. I think that the ice pack can only do so much to ease the redness and swelling. You should apply some medicine on your cheek before sleeping so that the healing will be more effective.¡± Gu Anhao had not expected Zuo Hancheng to let her off so easily. As she thought about it, she came to the conclusion that the only reason why he let her off was simply because he could not bring himself to kiss her now that her face was as swollen as a pig¡¯s head¡­ Gu Anhao was very certain that this was the only explanation for his behavior. Therefore, she raised her hand and patted herself on her chest to comfort herself. Even though she was in pain because of her injury, at the very least, she could protect herself against the big bad wolf. No surprises at all! Zuo Hancheng did not turn around to look at her but instead he saw her reflection in the glass window that stretched all the way from the floor to the ceiling. Gu Anhao was behaving as though she had just dodged a bullet. She quickly dashed toward the bedroom door before shutting it behind her, immediately isolating the owner of the bedroom. However, Zuo Hancheng was really not interested in teasing that girl tonight. When Gu Anhao was explaining her past to him, he could see her clenching her fists tightly together. This showed how much pain she had suffered in the past and how much she resented the fact that she had to relive those moments. The inexplicable expression on her face really bothered him. Initially, he thought that he married a fierce kitten who would never sit back and suffer any injustice. Therefore, he felt that it would be fun to tease her and tune her every now and then so that she would behave in a ladylike manner. All that Zuo Hancheng knew was the fact that Gu Anhao was not welcomed in the Gu family. He had also checked her academic records and any achievements that she had in school. However, he did not bother looking into her past. But this was Gu Anhao¡¯s character. She would always keep to herself and hide all of her feelings as though she was wrapped up in a cocoon. No one could touch her at all. She would make jokes and act tough in front of him just so that he would perceive her as a strong person that would not crumble or give in so easily. Gu Anhao could ignore any rumors that people would spread about her and she could even look the other way when the Gu family would criticize and frame her for something that she was not guilty of. It seemed as though Gu Anhao had hidden herself in a hard shell that could not be cracked open at all. Furthermore, she was less than willing to allow anyone to approach her or get closer to her. What bothered him the most was the fact that Gu Anhao was trying to hide her relationship with Yi Zeyang when he called, asking for her in an anxious and worried tone. If the relationship between the both of them were simply the relationship between siblings, then why was she desperately trying to change the topic in the first place? This girl really thought that he was a fool. When Mobai saw the incoming phone call from Zuo Hancheng, he was really surprised. It was rare for President Zuo to call him so late at night. ¡°Winner is still on vacation in London?¡± Mobai was stunned for a moment before he replied, ¡°Yes, President Zuo. Mr. Winner has already been in London for more than two months. I estimate that he will be back soon, probably in a week or so.¡± ¡°Please ask him to conduct a background check on someone as soon as he comes back.¡± ¡°Mr. Winner is unable to receive your call at the moment but I will relay your message to him as soon as he comes back, President Zuo,¡± Mobai replied in a serious tone. ¡°President Zuo, can I ask who you want to conduct the background check on?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao. I want a full and detailed background check on why she changed her identity and also her life, and her connection with the Yi family and the Gu family, including Yi Zeyang.¡± Mobai was surprised but he did not dare to question him because he was already accustomed to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s behavior after working for him for so many years. He would never ask them to look into someone¡¯s background if it were not important to him. Moreover, he would never use Mr. Winner¡¯s database and connections if the information was not urgent. Mobai did not say much, he merely replied in a respectful manner, ¡°I will try to contact Mr. Winner as soon as possible. You can leave this to me, President Zuo.¡± *** When Gu Anhao looked into the mirror after waking up the next morning, her face was swollen beyond recognition. Fortunately, it was a Sunday. If she were to show up to class looking like this, she would definitely be laughed at. She felt that Zuo Hancheng was very indifferent and cold toward her because he did not even ask who hit her face and gave her that injury. Since Yi Zeyang guessed it correctly, could Zuo Hancheng have also guessed that the injury was given to her by Mrs. Gu? As Zuo Hancheng had to make a visit to the company early in the morning because he had to attend an important multinational meeting, he could not stay at home to accompany her. Gu Anhao quickly took advantage of this opportunity to take out the laptop in the study room to look up Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name online. She wanted to see if the scene where he was surrounded by the reporters and paparazzi at Deways Hotel last night had been circulated online. If Chunchun and Huang Amao saw that Zuo Hancheng had made the headlines in the news, they would definitely be in shock! Gu Anhao could not stop herself from chuckling when she thought about the expressions on their faces. After searching the internet for a short while, Gu Anhao could not find any news about the incident last night. In fact, all that she could see was just some business news relating to Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, the only few pictures that she could find of Zuo Hancheng was an old picture that someone had secretly taken of him. The news that was still making the headlines was still the same news regarding the speculations that the media were making about the incident involving the famous actress who attempted to commit suicide by jumping off a building two days ago. There was not one single picture of Zuo Hancheng and the woman walking out of the elevator in Deways Hotel last night, and there was not even the slightest news about the incident at all. Gu Anhao thought that this was probably because Zuo Hancheng had already changed the settings on his laptop to automatically filter out any scandals or news about him. Therefore, Gu Anhao took out her cell phone before she tried searching for any news about Zuo Hancheng from the web browser on her cell phone. However, the results were still the same. How could this be possible? Did she see a ghost? Zuo Hancheng was surrounded by so many paparazzi and reporters last night, and more than twenty hours had already passed since that incident. How could there be no news about that incident at all? ¡®Damn it!¡¯ Gu Anhao quickly searched for any news relating to Zuo Hancheng on a different search engine but she still could not find anything related to him whatsoever. As Gu Anhao was wondering if she had really seen a ghost, Zuo Hancheng suddenly opened the door and stood in front of Gu Anhao. Gu Anhao was completely caught off guard and she could only stare at him absent-mindedly. Zuo Hancheng walked over to Gu Anhao and she continued staring at him in a trance. She had completely forgotten to close the web browser on the laptop, and by the time she thought of it, it was already too late because Zuo Hancheng was already standing beside her. As soon as he looked at the laptop screen, he saw the words ¡®Zuo Hancheng¡¯ in the search engine. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Anhao could only smile awkwardly as she looked at him. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you love me so much that you would actually be searching for news about me when I¡¯m not at home.¡± Zuo Hancheng had an inexplicable expression on his face. Gu Anhao smirked before she replied, ¡°You are too narcissistic! Even if all the women in the world long for you, I will not be thinking about you!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her before he answered, ¡°That¡¯s right. I seriously overestimated you. You are not a woman yet.¡± Gu Anhao closed her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly together. After that, she opened her eyes before she eyed him suspiciously before she turned around to look at the webpage again. ¡°Why isn¡¯t there any news about you getting caught by the reporters and paparazzi at Deways Hotel last night? Did you pay them off already?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not reply to her question as he merely glanced at the laptop screen. He turned away from the laptop screen when he saw that the news that was in the headlines was still regarding the actress who had attempted to commit suicide by jumping of a building. The media was also offering ten million yuan to anyone who would be able to provide any inside information about Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Why must it be posted online?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked indifferently. The expression on his face was very cold at this time. Gu Anhao choked after being questioned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that the media has already posted a cash reward for anyone who can provide any inside information about you? The media is desperately trying to get more information on the president of Shengling Group! Do you know that they are offering a reward of ten million yuan?¡± ¡°There are so many entertainment media who are vying to obtain information about you and it was so difficult for them to finally capture some pictures of you and your underground girlfriend! Why didn¡¯t they publish the news online then? Why did they choose to keep this information to themselves? Who would want to miss out on such a huge cash reward?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not reply and he simply stared at Gu Anhao as he listened to her. Anhao was thinking that he really did not know about the reward that was posted on the webpage earlier. Therefore, she was starting to suspect that he was oblivious to all the things going on in the media. She turned around to look at him, ready to tell him all about the cash reward. Zuo Hancheng then suddenly asked, ¡°When did I ever say that I have a so-called underground girlfriend?¡± Anhao was stunned and she stared at him with a blank expression on her face. ¡°Well, I am referring to the girl who was standing beside you when the both of you were walking out of the elevator last night. She is tall, beautiful and she has a very nice figure. She looked very noble and arrogant, and she even had your suit jacket over her shoulders! Who is she if she is not your girlfriend? Could it be¡­ that she already has an upgraded status and she is now your secret mistress?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows were raised as he stared at Gu Anhao. ¡°Gu Anhao! Are you sure that you are just a nineteen-year-old high school student?¡± Anhao blinked as she looked at the dissatisfied expression on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face. ¡°How is my age related to this matter in any way?¡± ¡°Secret mistress? Only you would think of something like that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s always that way in those novels¡­¡± Anhao responded as she used her chin to point at the laptop on the table. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can look up any of those romance novels online.¡± Zuo Hancheng had zero intention of touching the laptop because he was obviously not interested in those kinds of novels at all. ¡°But you are right¡­¡± Anhao suddenly spoke again. ¡°When that woman was standing next to you yesterday, I didn¡¯t have the feeling that she was your girlfriend at all. Even though she was very shy and even though she looked happy to be photographed with you, she does not seem to be compatible with someone like you anyway.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You need someone who resembles an extra-large white lotus flower because you are the dignified president of Shengling Group. A fine lady next to the golden boy.¡± ¡°I think you would fit the description very well then.¡± Anhao choked again before she retorted, ¡°Who said that I look like a white lotus flower?¡± ¡°Every part of you resembles a white lotus flower.¡± Anhao was definitely the top anti white lotus flower figure in A High. Therefore, after getting insulted by Zuo Hancheng, she stood up before she exploded immediately, ¡°Do you need me to explain the definition of a white lotus flower to you? White lotus flower is also known as the goddess white lotus flower. They have a delicate and feminine appearance and also a kind and fragile heart that seems to be made out of glass. The goddess white lotus is very lucky because she is a kind-hearted and harmless person who would just break her own teeth and hold back even when she has been wronged!¡± ¡°They are always in tears and even if someone stabs them in the back, they would always be forgiving as long as the other party repents and apologizes to them.¡± Anhao stared at him with a furious expression on her face. ¡°Do you really think I resemble a white lotus flower? How do I resemble one?¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her outburst that occurred because she felt insulted. After that, he sneered before he replied, ¡°So, do you really think I would be that blind to look for a woman that is like a white lotus flower?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she finally regained her composure. She reflected on his words, and after some time, she realized that Zuo Hancheng was actually complimenting her in an indirect manner. It was obvious that the only reason why he was willing to marry her was because she was not that type of person. That was much better! Anhao¡¯s rage disappeared as quickly as it came. After that, she sat down and leaned against the back of the sofa before she picked up one of the pillows and hugged it before glancing at the time. ¡°It¡¯s only two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Why are you back so early?¡± ¡°Your husband is not a robot. When the company is busy, I will naturally be busy. However, I will also have my own free time. Since I do not have any more work on hand, it is only natural for me to come back home so that I can have some peace and quiet.¡± As soon as he was done speaking, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his hand as he rubbed his eyebrows gently as though he was in deep thoughts. ¡°I obviously made a mistake¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Alright then. She robbed him of his quiet time. Anhao smacked her lips together as she pouted. However, she immediately felt a painful jab on her cheek because of the movement in her mouth. She lifted her hand to touch her cheeks and when she felt that it was hurting, she put down her hand quickly. Zuo Hancheng could see her slight movements but she was quiet and she did not say anything at all. This was because she wanted to give him some quiet time. Zuo Hancheng smiled before he asked, ¡°Did you apply any medicine on your face?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao nodded without making any more noise. ¡°Was Mrs. Gu the one who slapped you?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ how did you guess it?¡± Well, it would not be that surprising if he had guessed that it was a member of the Gu family, but how did he know that it was Mrs. Gu? Zuo Hancheng raised his hand as he gently stroked her red and swollen cheek. Even though his touch was very light and gentle, it was still painful and Anhao could only endure the pain. ¡°I saw Mrs. Gu and your step-sister when I was at Deways Hotel,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied softly. ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao suddenly recalled the confrontation that she had with Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi at the bathroom in Deways Hotel the other night. She felt a little helpless and wronged but she did not want to display her feelings in front of Zuo Hancheng. Therefore, she chose to keep silent and she did not say anything else. This was until Zuo Hacheng suddenly asked, ¡°Why did you go to Deways Hotel that night?¡± Anhao raised her head as she looked at Zuo Hancheng in surprise. ¡°Huh?¡± Zuo Hancheng could see the guilt in her eyes and he glanced at the laptop that was on the table as he thought about the so-called ten million yuan reward that Anhao told him about earlier. After that, there was a cold expression on his face as he locked eyes with Anhao. ¡°Were you following me? You were trying to take a few pictures of me so that you could get the ten million yuan cash reward?¡± Anhao lowered her head because she knew that she would not be able to hide the truth from Zuo Hancheng. However, she could not stop herself from muttering under her breath, ¡°If I knew that those reporters and paparazzi were not going to publish those pictures, then I should have taken out my cell phone to take a few photos of you that day. I would have taken a really nice and intimate picture of you and that woman from where I was standing the other night. I wasted that opportunity¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you are really one of a kind. You would betray your husband for ten million yuan?¡± Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Anhao immediately looked up at Zuo Hancheng as she replied, ¡°We are talking about ten million yuan! That is an astronomical figure for me! Do you really think that just because I am the mayor¡¯s daughter, I could really live like the young lady of the Gu family? All that Gu Tianming has ever given me is money to pay for my tuition fee! I had to sign a contract with the Gu family to receive any other sum of money. Yes, that is why I have to earn the ten million yuan using my own methods. I do not want to spend a penny from the Gu family if I can help it. I want to make money with my own hands and I am not doing it by stealing or robbing anyone. I am just trying to make some money based on my own ability.¡± Zuo Hancheng pursed his lips and he had a very cold expression on his face. ¡°Do you really think that it would be so easy for you to casually publish news about me? The public relations department of Shengling Group can be compared to the government¡¯s secrecy department. They can purchase all the photos and any news that the media intend to publish in the blink of an eye. Even if you want to make some money, you might not be able to do so.¡± Anhao¡¯s body weakened immediately as she leaned against the back of the sofa. As expected, she was really too young and na?ve. How many people would have actually been waiting to take pictures of someone like Zuo Hancheng? As a result, over the past few years, there was only one profile picture of him that had ever made it to the internet. Anyone who put some thought into the matter would have known that the media would never dare to publish any news or photographs of him without his permission. Although Anhao was very proud of him for wanting to keep a low profile and staying out of the public¡¯s view, she felt that it was a huge waste for him to block her fortune just like that! However, Anhao could not say anything to refute him at all. At this time, she could only lower her head as she held the pillow tightly in her arms to comfort herself. ¡°Don¡¯t you know how much money there is in the card that I gave to you?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes as soon as she heard his words. ¡°It does not matter to me at all. It is not my money and I do not intend to spend that money anyway.¡± ¡°Alright, then.¡± ¡°I am a righteous person!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted. ¡°Okay then, keep your righteousness. I want you to go to the study room now and copy your English textbook twenty times.¡± Gu Anhao froze in place as soon as she heard the words ¡®English textbook¡¯. He wanted her to copy her English textbook twenty times? She seemed to have heard him mentioning a similar punishment when she was drunk last night, but after she sobered up, she thought that it was only a nightmare. She would never have expected that nightmare to turn into reality in just one day! Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was only punishing her because she was initially planning to secretly take pictures of him so that she could sell those pictures to get the ten million yuan cash reward. He was only punishing her in such an inhumane manner because she provoked him first. Anhao immediately looked at him with an aggrieved expression on her face as she pleaded, ¡°Can I take back what I just said? I will not try to take any more pictures of you so that I can get any cash rewards, okay? I don¡¯t want to be a righteous person anymore¡­¡± However, it was useless for her to beg for mercy. Zuo Hancheng completely ignored her, and from time to time, Gu Anhao could feel a gust of cold wind blowing against her. She knew that it was useless to even try and seduce him with her beauty this time. Besides that, half of her face was still red and swollen like a pig head. How would she be able to seduce him at all? After a short while, Anhao could only drag herself up on her feet before walking to the study room. After sitting down in front of the desk, Anhao opened her English textbook reluctantly to take a closer look at the textbook that she was supposed to study for this semester. This was already her third year in high school and this was the first time that she was looking so meticulously at her textbook. She was shocked when she took a closer look at the contents of the textbook. There were so many words inside! The textbook was so thick! There were just too many sentences and words in the textbook and she actually had to copy it twenty times? Gu Anhao quietly turned around to steal a glance at Zuo Hancheng who was still seated outside in the living room. After that, she turned around as she tried to secretly tear off some of the pages in the textbook. She was extremely confident that Zuo Hancheng would never know what she did. ¡°There are ninety eight pages in your English textbook. Don¡¯t try and make a fool out of yourself. If you miss out on even just one page, I want you to copy that same page another ten times. Think carefully before you try to do anything foolish.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not come over to her but it seemed as though his voice was lingering over her head. Gu Anhao felt as though her heart was sinking into a bottomless pit. She could only put down the hand that was about to tear the pages off the book before she turned to the first page of the book. After that, she picked up a pen and started to copy the textbook obediently. After copying the first sentence in the textbook, Gu Anhao felt as though the sun was already about to set. She was even more frustrated when she thought about copying the book twenty times. Gu Anhao picked up the English textbook before slamming it on the table twice to release her anger. Even though she was making a ruckus in the study room, there was no sound or response from the living room. Zuo Hancheng was clearly ignoring her. Anhao then yelled in grief and indignation, ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you are really cruel and inhumane! You are trying to kill me!¡± Zuo Hancheng replied immediately from the living room in a faint but deep voice, ¡°What is this little punishment compared to your plan of following your husband to the hotel to secretly take pictures in order to sell it to the media for ten million yuan? As your husband, I am suffering from a psychological trauma because of your actions.¡± ¡®Psychological trauma? My as*!¡¯ He was clearly taking advantage of this opportunity to teach her a lesson! Anhao calmed herself down as she rested her head on the textbook. She would rather get beaten up by Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi than copy the English textbook twenty times. Who would be able to save her now? *** Later that night, Anhao¡¯s eyes were already red because she had been copying the English textbook for almost the entire day. Therefore, she had a pitiful expression on her face, but Zuo Hancheng did not go into the study room to look at her even once. Anhao was feeling very desperate when her cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at her cell phone immediately and noticed that the name ¡®Mobai¡¯ was displayed on the caller ID. She quickly picked up her cell phone and answered the call. Mobai was calling to look for her and not Zuo Hancheng. This was her one and only chance to say that she needed to go out to get something done! Therefore, she put the phone to her ear happily as she answered, ¡°Hello, Brother Mobai.¡± Mobai was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personal assistant, and Anhao felt that there were goosebumps all over her body because she was receiving a call from him. Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting outside in the living room, did not react at all. Therefore, Anhao quickly walked out of the study room as she held her cell phone to her ear. Zuo Hancheng was reading the newspaper in the living room and he did not seem to be bothered about the fact that she was on the phone. Anhao stood by the door as she raised her voice and said, ¡°Brother Mobai, why are you looking for me? Is it anything important? Should we meet up to discuss this matter in person?¡± Mobai was surprised at her response because the first time he ever saw this girl next to President Zuo, she was so quiet and calm, and she barely opened her mouth at all. ¡°Miss Gu, President Zuo asked to find a tutor for you and I have already found the perfect tutor to help you in your studies. I will send his contact information over to you in a short while. The tutor will go over to help you with your studies tomorrow so please make sure to clear your schedule for him.¡± Anhao felt as though the joy and excitement that she was feeling before was disappearing as her heart sank to the ground. She had almost forgotten that Zuo Hancheng had arranged for Mobai to find her a tutor. That was the reason why Mobai was calling her. That was why he could be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personal assistant. He was a snake, just like him! As soon as she hung up the phone, Anhao raised her head and stared at Zuo Hancheng who was calmly sitting on the sofa, reading his newspaper. After thinking for a brief moment, Anhao suddenly asked, ¡°Um¡­ can I go out? Just for a short while. I will be back in one hour. Just give me one hour.¡± ¡°Your reason?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes as soon as she heard his response. ¡°Well, do you remember that occasion where I took five wine bottles from the bar? I never had the opportunity to pay the owner of the bar for those bottles. I just thought that I could step out for a short while and swipe the card that you gave me at the bar so that I can pay the owner for what I owe him. After all, the owner of the bar has always treated me very well. I can¡¯t possibly owe him money without intending to pay him back¡­¡± Chapter 53 Chapter 53 ¡°You can just send someone to the bar another day and ask them to charge it to my tab. You don¡¯t have to make a trip there personally.¡± Anhao smiled before replying, ¡°How can I do that? The boss has always taken very good care of me. I quit my job all of a sudden without any notice given. I have to go there in person¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything else and copy your English textbook another five times.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her and merely instructed her in a cold voice. Anhao stared at him in frustration because she knew that she had already lost. He was tormenting her! Anhao walked back into the study room before she brought out the set of notes that she had already copied before throwing it directly at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng picked up the notes before looking at the English words that were written all over it. Even though she was complaining, Anhao had copied the notes in very beautiful handwriting. Zuo Hancheng looked up at Anhao and she was glaring at him as she stretched her hand out to show him her wrist. ¡°I already copied the entire textbook once! I feel like my wrist is about to break and that this arm does not belong to me anymore! Please stop it! Just change the type of punishment you want to give me.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao as she continued complaining. ¡°Look! My wrist is already swollen! If I really have to copy the textbook twenty times, my cheeks will not be the only swollen part of my body! By that time, my wrist, my spine and my shoulders would also be swollen too!¡± Obviously, it was useless for Anhao to lose her temper in front of Zuo Hancheng. He glanced at her wrist before focusing on the handwritten notes in his hand. Even though Anhao was very reluctant and she was not even paying any attention to the notes that she was copying, Zuo Hancheng was very impressed because her handwriting was very beautiful and neat. At least this proved that she really tried her best to copy the textbook at least once. Otherwise, she would not gain any merit at all. When Anhao saw that Zuo Hancheng was looking through the notes very meticulously, she could not help but stare at him as she asked, ¡°Are you seriously going to go through each and every single word that I copied?¡± Zuo Hancheng closed the notebook before he handed it over to her. ¡°So, what kind of punishment do you want instead?¡± Anhao could not stop herself from rolling her eyes at Zuo Hancheng. Initially, she thought that he would be soft-hearted and let her go after seeing that she had already copied the textbook in beautiful handwriting once. However, she did not expect him to be so cruel and inhumane! Anhao glared at him as she grinded her teeth. However, Zuo Hancheng continued looking at her with an indifferent expression on his face. After that, he simply looked at her without saying anything else. The both of them were staring at one another in silence. However, Anhao was no match for him and she had to look away. She took this opportunity to look around the room before she came up with an idea. ¡°Will it help if I clean up the entire living room? I will make sure that I wipe the entire house with a rag and disinfectant. I will make sure that there is not one speck of dust in the entire living room.¡± ¡°Cleaning the house daily is what the people from the cleaning company are supposed to do. You don¡¯t have to fight for a job with the cleaning lady.¡± Anhao was very annoyed and she looked around the room once again. As soon as she saw the laptop on the table, she suddenly smiled before she said, ¡°Or do you have any other documents that you need me to type out for you? I can sort out any documents for you and I can type all sorts of documents for you. Would you like me to do that for you instead?¡± ¡°I already have a secretary and personal assistant to do that for me and I am certain that they are a hundred times more professional than you. I don¡¯t need you to key in any documents for me,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied in a lukewarm manner. ¡°Furthermore, most of the documents for Shengling Group contain a lot of trade and commercial secrets. If you are not an employee of the company, there is absolutely no reason for me to allow you to touch those documents at all.¡± At this point, Anhao was already starting to lose her temper. Therefore, she clenched her fists tightly together before she walked over to Zuo Hancheng, standing behind him. After that, she reached out her hands and started rubbing his shoulders vigorously. ¡°Otherwise, I can also give you a massage every day!¡± Zuo Hancheng was in pain as soon as she started pinching his shoulders, he quickly raised his hands to stop her. She was clearly trying to vent her anger on him in a discreet manner. ¡°Are you secretly trying to kill me?¡± Anhao shook his hands off before she replied, ¡°It is obviously clear that you are the one who is trying to kill me instead!¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng heard Gu Anhao¡¯s words, he knew that she was already on the verge of losing her temper. Therefore, he ignored her and instead, he picked up the English textbook and her notebook and before he could even say anything, Anhao had already rushed forward to snatch the books away from his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t ask me to copy any more textbooks! I can do anything other than copying textbooks! I can really do anything that you want,¡± Anhao replied before she suddenly paused and added, ¡°And¡­ and besides sacrificing my own body.¡± Zuo Hancheng had an indifferent expression on his face as he turned around and squinted his eyes at Gu Anhao. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that you are the perverted one here?¡± Anhao felt a little embarrassed because of his gaze as he lowered his head and started looking at her chest before looking at her body which was wrapped up in her conservative pyjamas. When he realized that he had already lost focus of the matter at hand, he smirked before he looked at Anhao once again. Since this matter was caused because she was coveting the cash reward in the first place, then she should be able to resolve this problem using money! Anhao quickly looked for the gold card that Zuo Hancheng had given her before she handed it over to him with a pious expression on her face. ¡°Can we settle this matter if I return your gold card to you?¡± Zuo Hancheng was surprised because he really did not expect Gu Anhao to say that. He really could not believe that she was actually willing to give up her only source of income just because she did not want to copy the textbook anymore. ¡°As far as I know, it has already been a long time since you touched any of the money that Gu Tianming has given you to pay for your tuition fees and living expenses. Moreover, you already quit your job at the bar. Are you sure that you are willing to hand your gold card over to me?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked as he raised his brow at her. Anhao was of course very reluctant to do so! She would never touch Gu Tianming¡¯s money! The Gu family did not give her much money and all that he had given her was only sufficient to cover her tuition fees. Furthermore, Anhao was certain that she would not be able to go back and work at the bar because her boss would definitely not be willing to accept her again. Even though she was very reluctant to admit that she had to depend on this gold card to sustain herself, she would rather survive on instant noodles than continue copying any more textbooks! Zuo Hancheng did not hesitate to stretch out his hand to take the gold card from Anhao when she passed it to him. However, when he touched the gold card and was about to take it away, he could feel that Anhao¡¯s fingers were holding onto the gold card firmly. Zuo Hancheng sneered before he asked, ¡°Gu Anhao, weren¡¯t you very confident when you said that you would return the gold card to me?¡± Anhao did not want to lose to him and she quickly let go of the gold card as she watched him take the card before throwing it on the coffee table. When Zuo Hancheng looked at her, she merely shrugged as she started muttering under her breath. So, what if she did not have any money? All that she had to do was to stay in her bedroom and eat instant noodles for one month. He can take the gold card back if he wanted to because she would not starve to death! ¡°Since you are so sincere, and proactively offered to return my gold card to me, as your husband, it is impossible for me to watch you starve yourself.¡± When Anhao heard his words, her eyes lit up a little. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curved into a smile as he continued speaking, ¡°From today onwards, I will give you thirty yuan a day to cover your living expenses.¡± ¡°Thirty yuan?¡± Anhao was taken aback by his offer. ¡°Nowadays, even the cheapest lunchbox with meat costs at least ten yuan each! If I were to eat three meals a day, I would not even have a single cent left!¡± Chapter 54 Chapter 54 ¡°So, you don¡¯t want the thirty yuan allowance?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Anhao took a deep breath before she grinned. ¡°Yes, of course I want it!¡± A lunchbox was always better compared to a cup of instant noodles. Moreover, she had already lost her job at the bar. As such, she could only depend on Zuo Hancheng to survive now. What a shame! Zuo Hancheng glanced at the gold card that he had thrown on the coffee table before he said, ¡°There is still one month left before your final examination at the end of December. If you can pass each and every one of your subjects, then I might consider returning this gold card to you.¡± Before Anhao could say anything in protest, Zuo Hancheng said once again, ¡°I am just asking you to pass all of your subjects instead of failing them. Gu Anhao, you should know that my requirements are already very low and I am not even asking for too much from you.¡± Indeed, it was already a miracle that Zuo Hancheng was not forcing her to raise her grades to get high distinction for her final examination. He was being very considerate. However, the important thing was that she only had one month left! She only had one month to study so that she could pass all of her subjects in the final examinations! Anhao gritted her teeth before she said, ¡°Are you trying to kill me?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at Gu Anhao as he said in a very gentle tone, ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I said, you are trying to¡­¡± Anhao immediately raised her voice by one decibel. Zuo Hancheng suddenly picked up his cell phone as he held it in his hand and looked through his cell phone in a casual manner. After that, he said in an indifferent manner, ¡°Well, there are still certain things that I did not get to say to Yi Zeyang when he called last night. I was thinking of giving him a call. After all, he is still a temporary guest professor at A High.¡± Anhao rushed over to him in a flash and fell into his arms. She did not even try to snatch the cell phone from his hand but instead, she looked right into his handsome face that was extremely close to her as she was in his arms. Even though Anhao really felt like yelling at him, she could only stare at him with a helpless expression on her face. ¡°Okay, fine! I will pass every subject! I am so talented and intelligent anyway. This is just three years of high school. How difficult can it be? I promise that I will definitely pass every subject!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on her face as he grabbed her waist and held her tightly in his arms. ¡°Since you are being so obedient, then I will let you off with just a small punishment this time. However, I really hope that you will stop seducing me in the future because like I said, there is nothing much that you can offer me anymore.¡± After hearing that, Anhao who was still lying in his arms lowered her head as she looked down at her pyjamas. She did not know when it happened but one of the buttons on her pyjamas had popped open. Gu Anhao quickly got back up on her feet as she withdrew from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms, he then whispered in her ear, ¡°Of course, I wouldn¡¯t mind performing a husband¡¯s duty now.¡± Zuo Hancheng tightened his hand around her waist as he tried to pull Anhao into his embrace. Anhao was already blushing and she quickly broke free from his arms as she tried to hide her embarrassment. She straightened her hair as she sat upright on the sofa before she looked at Zuo Hancheng and said, ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you are so disrespectful!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyelids twitched. ¡°How am I being disrespectful when I am older than you?¡± Anhao was so furious that she did not know what else to say anymore. Zuo Hancheng was not even thirty years old but he was always so sarcastic when he was touching her and pressuring her to study harder. Anhao blushed as she blurted out, ¡°You are always so rude to me!¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled as he looked at Gu Anhao, and she was surprised that he would be smiling so beautifully at her. She stood up immediately before taking two steps backwards as she continued cursing at him. ¡°You, you, you are a very sly and cunning person!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°A cunning and sly fox!¡± Zuo Hancheng was staring at Gu Anhao with a dangerous expression on his face but Anhao did not even realize it. She was not paying any attention because she was trying to rack her brain to think of all the idioms and phrases that she could use against him. It was only when Zuo Hancheng suddenly stood up and started walking toward her that she suddenly pointed her finger at the area between his legs as she shouted, ¡°Old, weak and sickly man!¡± Okay¡­ she did not have anything else to say. When Gu Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng walking toward her, she screamed out loud as she hurriedly threw her English textbook and notes at him. After that, she turned around and tried running toward the bedroom so that she could close the door behind her. However, after barely running for two steps, Zuo Hancheng had lifted her up in his arms as he threw her down on the sofa even though she was screaming all the way. Zuo Hancheng then pressed his body against hers so that she was confined between him and the sofa. The only reason Anhao provoked him by using all those phrases today was simply because she had nowhere else to vent her frustrations. She did not expect this end result! Zuo Hancheng grabbed Anhao¡¯s chin before he said in a low and deep voice, ¡°I dare you to try and use those idioms and phrases on me again in future. Do you have the guts to?¡± At this time, Anhao could only raise her hand to touch her face as she looked at him in a helpless manner. ¡°Um¡­ my face is hurting¡­¡± Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Zuo Hancheng ignored her repeated tricks as he continued running his hand through her pyjamas despite her protests. Anhao was desperately trying to protect her body by blocking his hand as she tried to curl her body into a ball. After that, she leaned toward Zuo Hancheng as she showed him the left side of her cheek. ¡°Look! My face is really hurting. Just look! I am not lying¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng continued ignoring her and Anhao could only reach out her hand and grabbed his hand to stop him from touching her body. However, Zuo Hancheng took advantage of this opportunity to grab her hands as he pressed it against the sofa before he started kissing her on the lips. Anhao could feel his warm lips against her lips and she could feel her body warming up because of the tension that she was feeling. Suddenly, the cell phone on the table started ringing. Gu Anhao¡¯s cell phone ringtone was particularly weird and unpleasant. She initially chose this ringtone to flaunt her rebellious personality, and she kept forgetting to change the ringtone. The ringtone sounded like magic to Zuo Hancheng at this time. After a low gasp, he looked toward the coffee table as he stared at the cell phone that was ringing. Anhao pushed him away before she said, ¡°I am going to answer the phone.¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his head as he whispered into her ear in a low voice, ¡°This is the second time. Don¡¯t think that I will let you off so easily the next time.¡± As Anhao listened to his low and deep voice ringing in her ears, she could feel her heart beating franticall. Her face was flushed red as she said, ¡°What do you mean second time?¡± Zuo Hancheng got up from the sofa without replying. After that, he turned around and immediately walked toward the bathroom. It seemed as though he was going to take a cold shower. Anhao finally understood what he meant. This was the second time that he was taking a cold shower because of her. Anhao blushed as she sat up on the sofa. Her cell phone had already stopped ringing after a short while before it started ringing again. Anhao quickly straightened out her pyjamas before picking up the cell phone on the coffee table. She hesitated for a moment when she saw the strange and unknown number on her caller ID. After that, she decided to answer the call. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Hello, am I speaking to Gu Anhao?¡± There was a young man¡¯s voice over the other end of the line. Even though he was a stranger, his voice was very gentle and crisp and there was no way anyone could find him unpleasant at all. Anhao looked at the caller ID suspiciously before she placed the cell phone against her ear again. ¡°Yes, this is Gu Anhao. May I know who I am speaking to?¡± ¡°Mobai didn¡¯t pass my contact information to you? I am Mobai¡¯s junior in high school. I graduated not too long ago and I took up some tutoring jobs when I had nothing else to do for the past two years. Mobai told me that you are looking for a tutor to help you with your studies in your third year of high school. That is why he contacted me.¡± Anhao was speechless because even though she did not want any tutor to help her with her studies, this person had already called her. Moreover, there was no way that she could refuse him because Zuo Hancheng was the one who asked Mobai to arrange this tuition class for her. Therefore, Anhao had no choice but to smile and reply, ¡°Oh! Mobai told me about this but I totally forgot about it.¡± In fact, Anhao was surprised that Mobai actually hired a male tutor for her. It seemed as though Mobai obviously did not know about the true nature of the relationship between Zuo Hancheng and herself. Anhao glanced at the bathroom behind her before she smirked and replied, ¡°Well, I think that I will not need your help today. I will contact you after my classes on Monday, okay?¡± ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry, you can contact me anytime you want but Mobai told me that you will be sitting for your final examinations in one month¡¯s time. I would suggest that you hurry up and catch up on your studies as soon as possible so that you can improve your scores.¡± The tone used by the tutor made Anhao feel very comfortable and she did not feel disgusted by him at all. Even though she did not like to be pushed by others, she could understand the other party¡¯s desire to earn some extra income by providing her with tuition lessons. Therefore, she made an appointment for him to come over to guide her in her studies the next day. After hanging up the phone, Anhao stood up before straightening out her pyjamas and her messy hair. She raised her hand to touch her face, she felt that it was a little warm at the moment. Anhao decided to wash her face in cold water but when she looked toward the direction of the bathroom, she suddenly remembered that someone was still taking a cold shower in the bathroom. Even though this was a very big house, only a few rooms on the first floor had been renovated. This was because Zuo Hancheng had always lived alone and he only needed one bedroom and one bathroom. It was clear that this luxurious and beautiful place was not used to its fullest potential! It seemed as though Zuo Hancheng felt that it was unnecessary to renovate the other rooms and bathrooms on the second floor. A short while later, Zuo Hancheng came out of the bathroom. As expected, there was a cool feeling and atmosphere around him as he stepped out of the bathroom. Anhao did not go close to him because she did not want to tease him anymore. She simply stood at the other end of the living room as she tried to avoid making any eye contact with him. After walking out of the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her before asking, ¡°So, who called you just now?¡± ¡°The tutor that you asked Mobai to arrange for me. Initially, we were supposed to make an appointment to meet up today but I forgot to contact him. That is why he called to make an appointment with me.¡± Zuo Hancheng observed the expression on her face and this time, he was certain that she was not lying. Therefore, he turned around before walking toward the closet to change into a new set of clothes. However, as he walked past the sofa, the cell phone that was placed on the coffee table caught his eye. ¡°Please change your ringtone as soon as possible.¡± Anhao already knew that Zuo Hancheng did not like her strange ringtone but it seemed as though Zuo Hancheng was in a better mood after taking a cold shower. However, she knew better than to offend him. Therefore, she smiled before she replied, ¡°Um, okay. I will change it later.¡± It was a rare occasion for Gu Anhao to actually be so obedient. Therefore, Zuo Hancheng could not help but turn around to look at her as he asked, ¡°What are you up to this time?¡± Anhao laughed out loud as she figured that there was really no way that she could hide anything from him. Therefore, she pointed a finger upstairs before she asked, ¡°Can I get someone to finish renovating the other rooms and bathrooms on the second floor?¡± If she continued sharing the same bed in the same bedroom as Zuo Hancheng, she would definitely be eaten by him sooner or later! She had to save herself. She should not continue living in the lion¡¯s den. When Zuo Hancheng saw the hopeful expression on Gu Anhao¡¯s face, he could see through all of her thoughts. However, since she only had one more month before her final examination, Zuo Hancheng did not turn down her request as he simply replied, ¡°Do whatever you want to.¡± After that, he turned around before changing into a new set of clothes. Anhao secretly put up a peace sign as she celebrated her small victory. She smiled to herself as she walked up the second floor to plan the structure and layout of her future bedroom. *** On Monday, Gu Anhao¡¯s face was better after two days of recuperation. Even though the swelling had already subsided, anyone could tell that her face was still slightly swollen and red if they looked closely. Since Zuo Hancheng had already thrown away all the cosmetics in her bag, Anhao could only rush back to her dormitory to borrow some foundation and lipstick from her roommates. Anhao quickly put some foundation on her face to reduce the redness on her cheek before applying some lipstick. Chunchun could not help but ask what exactly happened to her cheek. Anhao did not mention anything about Yi Zeyang, only mentioning that Mrs. Gu hit her a few days ago. Chunchun and Huang Amao were so furious and they stepped out of the dormitory in anger to seek revenge for Anhao but she dragged the both of them back into the dormitory. ¡°That was how I have been living in the Gu family for the past few years anyway. Currently, my life is already much better compared to the past. I was just unfortunate to run into the mother and daughter the other night. Otherwise, I would not have gotten slapped by her.¡± ¡°How can you endure this kind of treatment from them?¡± Chunchun asked as she was not convinced at all. She could not bear to see Anhao in distress. ¡°Who would want to endure it? However, I have no choice but to endure it. After all, Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi are related biologically and they are Gu Tianming¡¯s real and legal family members. If I lift even one finger and touch them with it, I will be dead within a few seconds.¡± Chapter 56 Chapter 56 ¡°True enough, all the plots in any novels and movies are all fake. There is really no deity that will step in on colorful clouds to save the people who need help. Anhao has already suffered so many years of grievances but no one came to save her! I am really losing all hope already¡­¡± Chunchun continued staring at Anhao as she continued covering the redness of her cheek using the foundation. The more she looked at Anhao, the more frustrated Chunchun felt. Anhao froze for a moment as she patted the foundation onto her face, listening to Chunchun¡¯s words, not saying anything at all. After arriving at her classroom, several of her classmates could not help but stare at her with a strange expression on their face because it was truly a rare occasion for Anhao to arrive at her classroom at eight o¡¯clock sharp in the morning. Anhao arriving punctually to class was really big news. In fact, Gu Anhao did not want to attend class at all. However, since she had already promised Zuo Hancheng that she would definitely pass all her subjects in the final examination, this was a battle that she had no choice but to fight. Anhao was only attending school and making a decision to study hard because of her promise to Zuo Hancheng. In the past five years, no one had ever shown any concern toward Gu Anhao and no one cared whether her grades were good or bad. Moreover, even if she had good grades, her father and her family did not care about her achievements at all. Therefore, Anhao gradually became numb to the situation after being ignored for such a long time. Regardless of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s true intentions, at least someone was sincerely hoping for her to get good grades in her studies this time. Gu Anhao heaved a sigh of relief as she thought about it. All she had to do was to pass each of her subjects! If she studied hard for the whole month, she would definitely be able to pass the examination! After classes that day, Gu Anhao actually made a trip to the teacher¡¯s office to ask the teacher some questions because she did not understand what she was teaching in class. Gu Anhao¡¯s action really shocked the teachers and the other students. What was going on? Did the sun rise from the west today? Gu Anhao came to class on time and she was actually paying attention in class! This was definitely a big piece of news in A High and this rumor quickly circulated around the school in the morning. At the moment, Gu Anhao was having lunch with her friends in the cafeteria. ¡°Are you really going to start studying hard for the final examinations next month?¡± Huang Amao initially thought that Gu Anhao was simply spouting nonsense in the morning. However, after seeing Anhao¡¯s unexpected behavior today, she had no choice but to believe that she was absolutely serious. Anhao did not reply to Huang Amao¡¯s question immediately, she simply looked at the time on her watch as she continued eating her lunch. ¡°There are twenty nine more days before the final examinations. If I start studying hard from today onward, it will not be that difficult for me to pass the final examinations. It¡¯s just the third year of high school, so how difficult can it be? I just have to make sure that I study and read through all the textbooks.¡± ¡°That is true. After all, you have never once paid attention in class or studied seriously in the past three years. I can still remember that your textbooks were still brand new even after finishing your first year of high school.¡± ¡°But Anhao, what is the reason for this change in you? Didn¡¯t you say that the college entrance examination at the start of next year did not matter to you at all since you do not mind even if you do not attend university in the future? Why did you suddenly change your mind?¡± Anhao placed her chin on her hand as she replied, ¡°Well, I am currently fighting a battle with someone and this is a battle that I cannot afford to lose.¡± ¡°A battle? With whom?¡± Anhao squinted her eyes and smiled before she replied, ¡°Zuo Hancheng.¡± ¡°Again?¡± ¡°What is the point? He is already a male idol now without even doing anything at all! Why are you trying to impress him? It will not be that easy!¡± Anhao felt that there was no way that she would be able to explain the situation to them. Therefore, she only shook her head without saying anything at all. These silly people! After lunch, Anhao decided to head to the library to spend an hour or so to look for some books to help in her studies. Chunchun and Huang Amao had already decided to go back to the dormitory to take a short nap before going for their next class later in the afternoon. Therefore, Anhao went to the library on her own. After entering the library, Anhao walked amongst the numerous bookshelves in the library as she looked for some quick study notes and books that she could use for her studies. After spending some time in the library, Anhao finally found one of the books written by a professional and she quickly headed toward the librarian so that she could go through the procedure of borrowing the book. As she was headed toward the counter, Anhao suddenly saw a familiar figure walking toward her from another bookshelf that was not too far away. Anhao was very eager to turn around and avoid him but she knew that it was already too late. Yi Zeyang had already seen her and he was already walking toward her. Anhao held tightly onto the book in her hand as she watched the figure that was approaching her. There were a lot of people in the library at this time, including teachers, students and also the library staff. Anhao believed that Yi Zeyang would not be able to do anything to her. Therefore, she stood still in place as she waited for him to approach her. Yi Zeyang was holding onto a French financial analysis data book which he would be using for his upcoming lecture in a few days¡¯ time. Anhao glanced at the book in his hand as he stopped directly in front of her. As soon as he approached her, Anhao subconsciously took a few steps backward. She suddenly thought of the familiar taste of his lips against her own when she was drunk at the bar just a few nights ago. As she thought about it, she suddenly felt very embarrassed to face him. ¡°Come with me,¡± Yi Zeyang suddenly said. Anhao stood still and she did not move at all. ¡°Professor Yi, if you don¡¯t mind, I would like to take advantage of the lunch break to spend some time going through some quick study notes. If there is nothing important, I will go back to the classroom first.¡± Anhao replied as soon as she heard Yi Zeyang¡¯s words before she turned around to walk away. Yi Zeyang grabbed hold of her arms and Anhao could only turn around to face him. His eyes were a little cold and indifferent and Anhao did not know what he was feeling at the moment. However, she did not want to go out and talk to him alone because all that she could think of was what Zuo Hancheng had said to him over the phone the other night. She knew that she would not be able to go through his questioning. ¡°Okay, you know that I have utmost respect for you but it does not mean that I should give in to you all the time. Do you want me to break the rules and yell at you in the library? Do you really want to engage in a conversation with me in front of all these teachers and students here or do you want to just follow me quietly so that we can have this conversation elsewhere?¡± ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± Yi Zeyang pursed his lips before he replied, ¡°Just follow me first.¡± Anhao was very helpless but all that she could do was to follow after him with heavy footsteps. After walking out of the library, Anhao followed behind Yi Zeyang as they walked along the corridor. Yi Zeyang¡¯s pace was slightly faster and he was not walking by her side or patiently waiting for her to catch up with him as usual. Both Yi Zeyang and Zuo Hancheng were about one hundred and eighty centimeters in height and it was very difficult for Anhao to catch up with his pace. Therefore, she could only trot all the way to keep up with his pace. Yi Zeyang did not turn around to check on her but he was obviously certain that she was following behind him. As soon as they came to the end of the corridor, Yi Zeyang turned to the right and headed straight into the grove behind the library. The grove behind their campus¡­ it was such a mysterious and ambiguous place and it was an exclusive place for lovers to hang out during their free time. Why did he bring her here? Anhao did not think too much about it and she simply followed him into the grove. Fortunately, it was still daytime and none of her male or female classmates were having their secret rendezvous at the moment. It was very quiet and serene. Anhao could not stop her heart from beating frantically because of the quietness in the grove. She did not know what kind of situation she was going to encounter with Yi Zeyang. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 As soon as they walked into the depths of the grove, Yi Zeyang suddenly stopped in his tracks. Anhao also hurriedly stopped behind him before she took a few steps back. She then raised her eyes to meet his gaze. ¡°Do you want me to ask you sentence by sentence, or would you like to directly give me an explanation?¡± Yi Zeyang asked as he stared at the girl who was all tensed up as she stood about three meters away from him. Anhao looked directly at him as she replied, ¡°Professor Yi¡­¡± ¡°Anhao, I am not in the mood to role-play with you now! You should also understand what I have been doing in A High for the past few days. Why do you think I am here under the guise of a professor? Anhao, all I want is an explanation from you, and not for you to call me Professor Yi so eloquently.¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s voice was very cold and serious as he interrupted Gu Anhao halfway through her sentence. ¡°You still refuse to explain yourself?¡± Yi Zeyang frowned as he continued questioning her. ¡°Alright then, why don¡¯t I ask the questions so that you can answer me then?¡± Anhao was stunned and she was slightly at a loss for words at Y Zeyang¡¯s outburst and attitude. At this time, she could only secretly squeeze her fists together under her long sleeves. ¡°What exactly is going on between you and Zuo Hancheng?¡± Anhao took a huge breath before replying, ¡°Everything is just as you heard over the phone last night. We are married.¡± ¡°Who are you kidding? You have not even reached the legal age to get married yet! The legal age for marriage is twenty years old! How and why did you get married?¡± Yi Zeyang frowned as soon as he heard Anhao¡¯s answer because he did not believe that she would have gotten married at such a young age. The expression on Anhao¡¯s face was very calm and she no longer felt nervous. ¡°Both you and him belong in the same circle. Therefore, you should understand Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personality better than I do. It doesn¡¯t matter whether I am already of the legal age to get married or not because even if I am just six years old or ten years old right now, as long as Zuo Hancheng is willing to marry me, then our marriage would definitely be recognized legally. Furthermore, there is only a few more months before my twentieth birthday.¡± Yi Zeyang was breathing very heavily at this point Gu Anhao regained her composure as she started explaining and narrating the entire situation to Yi Zeyang in a calm manner. ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°No matter what it is, we are already officially married so is there any need to talk about whether I am serious or not?¡± Anhao asked as she glanced at him. ¡°It¡¯s the same thing as you getting engaged. Everyone already knows about it. So, it does not really matter whether you are serious or not because it is a fact anyway¡­¡± ¡°That is completely different!¡± Yi Zeyang interrupted Anhao before she could finish her sentence again. Anhao paused for a moment because she could not understand why Yi Zeyang was so angry at her. Perhaps it was simply because he still regarded her as his sister, and as her brother, he must be feeling very hurt because he did not know about her marriage at all. ¡°My engagement is all just a show! You should also know the situation that Yishi Group is facing in A City, and you should also understand the importance of a partnership in developing a shopping mall! We are just pretending to be in a commercial marriage for the time being! This does not mean that we are really going to get married! Firstly, there is really nothing going on between the two of us. Secondly, we have not even shared the same bed before! All that we have ever shared was the engagement ceremony, which was all just a show to me. Lastly, we did not even get the priest¡¯s blessing, nor did we get our marriage notarized! Everything is fake!¡± Yi Zeyang explained himself as he looked at Anhao with a frown on his face. ¡°So, what in the world happened between Zuo Hancheng and yourself? How did you get involved with someone like him in the first place? Tell me what exactly is going on! It is absolutely impossible for you to be married to him!¡± ¡°Why is it impossible? I already told you that age is not a problem! I am already an adult. Even though I am still attending high school, this is not illegal anyway! Nothing is impossible!¡± Anhao turned her back to him as she refuted his statement. ¡°If there is nothing else that Professor Yi wants to talk to me about, then I guess you have already said everything that you wanted to say. I am going to head back to my classroom to study now.¡± ¡°Anhao, I do not know what kind of sufferings you have gone through over the past few years but how can you get married to someone like Zuo Hancheng at such a young age? If there is something that he is using against you, then you have to tell me! If you continue hiding the truth, there is no way for me to help you at all!¡± Anhao suddenly paused in her tracks when she heard his voice from behind. After that, she continued moving forward. ¡°Anhao! You are not a child anymore. You should be more responsible for your own life. Marriage is not child¡¯s play. It is a serious matter.¡± Anhao did not reply as she focused on walking out of the grove. ¡°The only girlfriend that Zuo Hancheng ever had and acknowledged is Rongxue! The only woman that he has ever loved in this life is also Rongxue! How could he have any emotional attachments to you? Anhao, can you please tell me the truth? I know for a fact that Zuo Hancheng is definitely not in love with you so why would he marry you?¡± Anhao¡¯s stopped in her tracks immediately. Rongxue? Who is Rongxue? When Yi Zeyang realized that Anhao had already stopped walking forward, he continued staring at her solemnly. ¡°Even though the incident and relationship between Zuo Hancheng and Rongxue have never been publicized to the public, it is a well-known secret in the business and commercial world! Otherwise, why else do you think I am forcing you to explain yourself to me?¡± Gu Anhao turned around to look at him. Anhao did not even know if the young woman who walked out of Deways Hotel with Zuo Hancheng the other night was Rongxue. What was even stranger was the fact that Yi Zeyang was so calm and indifferent as he spoke to her. Why was he accusing her of not loving herself? Why was he accusing her of getting married so casually? Why would he be telling her all this? When Yi Zeyang saw that Anhao was standing still as she stared at him, he walked toward her immediately. It was only until he had gotten much closer to her and was looking right into her face that he realized that she was already at the age of a young girl who should be spreading her wings. Yi Zeyang raised his hand and placed it at the back of her head before forcing her to face him directly. As Anhao stared blankly at him, he asked her, ¡°Anhao, I am not an outsider. Just tell me the truth¡­¡± Anhao clenched her fists tightly together and after thinking for a short while, she felt that there was no need to hide anything else. If she were to keep concealing this matter from Yi Zeyang, then this misunderstanding would gradually develop into something much more intense and complicated. This was not what she wanted. Moreover, Yi Zeyang was only one small reason why she had gotten married in the first place and everything else had nothing to do with him. Therefore, even if she explained the situation to him, it was not a big deal anyway. ¡°When I found out that you were engaged, I dragged Chunchun out for a drink that night¡­¡± Anhao stared right into his eyes as she started explaining everything to him in a low voice. During the entire process, Yi Zeyang was holding onto her wrist and it felt as though he was crushing her with his strength. Anhao endured the pain and she raised her eyes to look at him with a sad expression on her face. After that, she continued explaining herself, ¡°I was in the bar that day as I was very upset about your engagement. I am sorry but at that time, I must have gotten a little drunk¡­¡± However, Yi Zeyang seemed to have turned a deaf ear against her apology as he continued staring at her in an indifferent manner¡­ Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Anhao felt a little uncomfortable since he was staring at her. Therefore, she subconsciously took few steps back. However, Anhao¡¯s hair brushed against her cheeks as the wind blew past them. Yi Zeyang felt as though he was suddenly seeing another person¡¯s shadow even though Anhao was the one standing in front of him. Yi Zeyang did not let go of her hand as he simply stared at her with a frown on his face. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder why he decided to marry you¡­¡± Anhao did not understand why he would suddenly say that. Therefore, she stared at him as she asked, ¡°What?¡± Yi Zeyang could tell that Gu Anhao had applied some foundation on her face and he guessed that she probably did that to cover up the redness of her cheek. As he took a closer look at her, he could tell that her face was slightly pale, probably because of the pain that she was feeling. Yi Zeyang let go of her shoulders immediately and Anhao took a few steps back. Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze was still exceptionally sharp and his next sentence sounded like a command. ¡°Anhao, listen to me. Please divorce Zuo Hancheng as soon as possible. Zuo Hancheng will never possibly fall in love with you. Don¡¯t allow yourself to fall into his trap.¡± Gu Anhao had already expected Yi Zeyang to say something like that. Therefore, Anhao took a few more steps back as she shook her head. There was a trace of astonishment in the eyes of the man who had always been very gentle with her. This was because he was obviously surprised by her sudden alienation and coldness toward him. ¡°I will not divorce him. Furthermore, this is my own life and whether I choose to divorce him or not is not something that you can decide so casually on my behalf.¡± Anhao kept her cool as she stared at him with an indifferent expression on her face. ¡°I know that you are saying this for my own good but you should also know that I have never regarded Zuo Hancheng as a good person anyway.¡± ¡°Ever since you went abroad more than five years ago, both my mother and I were kicked out of the Yi family. Ever since that day, I have never expected to be happy in the future. I never thought that I would ever fall in love or get married to someone that I loved anyway. Now that someone is willing to take on the responsibility to take care of me, I don¡¯t care who that person is and whether he is Zuo Hancheng or not.¡± ¡°Anhao, do you even know what you are talking about?¡± Yi Zeyang asked as he frowned. ¡°You are just throwing your life away!¡± ¡°If it were not for Zuo Hancheng, then my life would have been ruined by Gu Shishi! At the very least, I am certain that Zuo Hancheng would never take advantage of me or anyone else. I understand what you are trying to say. You are telling me that there is someone else in his heart. Is that all? That is fine by me because I don¡¯t care anyway.¡± ¡°A marriage without any feelings involved is destined to ruin you! Anhao, please stop being so willful. Just give me some time and wait patiently for me to come back to you¡­¡± Anhao could not stop herself from laughing out loud at his words. ¡°A marriage without any feelings will not ruin me but falling in love with a man who is about to get married to another woman will definitely ruin me!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Yi Zeyang, just take good care of your fianc¨¦e. From now on, please pretend that we have never known each other. We should go our own separate ways from today onward. I will not pester you anymore and I hope that you will stop staying at A High because of me. Goodbye!¡± After that, Anhao turned around and left immediately. ¡°Anhao!¡± Yi Zeyang stepped forward and grabbed hold of her wrist before she could walk away. ¡°Trust me. There will be no happy ending if you choose to stay with Zuo Hanchneg. You are still young. You are still too young to understand how complex the situation is. You are still too innocent! If you still regard me as your elder brother, then please listen to my advice and leave him immediately.¡± In the end, all that Yi Zeyang was trying to do was simply to persuade her to divorce Zuo Hancheng. Anhao had never expected or dreamt of finding true love in this marriage anyway. And Yi Zeyang was wrong. This was because Gu Anhao was not innocent at all! She shook his hand off as she secretly reminded herself that he was already engaged to someone else. She also recalled how unreasonable she had been at the bar that night. It was time for her to put an end to all of these misunderstandings. She would already be twenty years old in a few more months. Therefore, she should not allow herself to indulge in the feelings that she had for this man during her youth. She should stop acting like a child who would act coquettishly whenever she wanted to. Gu Anhao pushed his hand away as she did not want to talk to him anymore. She did not even want to look at him as the more she look at him, the more upset and uncomfortable she would feel. After getting rid of Yi Zeyang, Anhao walked out of the grove before heading back into the library to grab a few more books. After that, she hurried back to the dormitory. She was not acting this way because she did not want to give Yi Zeyang a chance. Instead, she was acting this way because she did not want to have to worry about this matter. After that night of mischief, she had already decided to completely give up on him! *** After an afternoon of self-study, Anhao contacted the tutor that Mobai had arranged for her so that they could meet at Giltview Gardens at five thirty in the evening. As a result, Anhao was late for the appointment because by the time she arrived at Giltview Gardens, it was already almost six o¡¯clock in the evening. As soon as she arrived at the doorstep, she saw a tall and thin young man standing at the front door. Anhao approached the guy immediately and the man turned around to look at her as he glanced at the information that he had about her in his cell phone. After confirming that she was indeed Gu Anhao, the man smiled in a kind manner before he greeted her, ¡°Hello. You must be Gu Anhao, right?¡± The man standing before her looked very young and it seemed as though he was only about twenty five or twenty six years old. He was very tall and thin and he was also very handsome. At first glance, anyone could tell that he was a very strict and diligent person who was also very kind and likable. Anhao felt that she could definitely get along with the person standing before her. Therefore, Anhao was very pleased with Mobai for finding and arranging such a pleasant tutor for her. He had all the qualities of a gentleman. He was smart, patient and handsome. Anhao smiled before she replied him, ¡°Hello. Yes, I am Gu Anhao. I am sorry that I am late. There was a traffic jam earlier on and that is why I got home later than I expected.¡± In fact, Anhao felt too embarrassed to tell other people that Zuo Hancheng had already confiscated the gold card that he had given to her previously. Therefore, she only had thirty yuan allowance every day and she could not afford to take a taxi home from school. That was why she could only use her student card to squeeze in the public bus with everyone else. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I know that there is really high traffic right now. I understand that it is difficult for you to leave earlier but I was fortunate enough to leave earlier and avoid the traffic jam.¡± The man standing before her smiled politely before he reached out his hand to shake her hand. ¡°My surname is Qin. My name is Qin Feng. You can call me Teacher Qin.¡± The both of them continued chatting in a casual manner as they got acquainted with one another. At the same time, Anhao also made a phone call to Mobai to thank him for introducing this tutor to her and also to make sure that Qin Feng was really the tutor that he had arranged for her. After confirming that Qin Feng was not a dangerous person, Anhao invited him into the house. Since the renovation for the second floor would only be completed next week, they could only have their tutoring session in the study room today. Qin Feng was also very polite and well-mannered and he did not explore the house on his own. He would only go wherever Anhao asked him too. After a short while, the both of them were finally seated in front of the desk in the study room. Qin Feng was a little surprised after looking at Anhao¡¯s transcripts over the past few years. Anhao did not explain too much and she simply said, ¡°I have not been studying seriously for the past three years in high school and I have always been counting on luck. That is why I need a tutor to help me so that I would be able to pass my upcoming final examinations.¡± Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Qin Feng was surprised at Gu Anhao¡¯s mannerism because Mobai had told him in advance that she was a very funny girl who would always come up with all sorts of antics. However, the young girl in front of him now was actually very honest and well-mannered. Of course, Qin Feng did not say much and he simply smiled at her as he asked and counseled her about her previous years in high school. Under any normal circumstances, with a tutor providing help and assistance, any student would definitely be able to keep up with their current studies. Moreover, Anhao was very intelligent and Qin Feng was certain that she would definitely be able to keep up with his teachings. Ultimately, everything depended on whether Anhao was willing to study seriously or not. After about two hours of tutoring, Anhao was already able to answer most of the basic questions from the first year of high school. The both of them continued studying until it was already almost eight o¡¯clock at night. However, Anhao was not tired at all and it seemed as though she was very diligent and really wanted to catch up with her studies. When it was almost nine o¡¯clock at night, Zuo Hancheng finally came home. As soon as he walked into the house, he saw Gu Anhao carrying two glasses of water as she stepped into the study room. She did not even turn around to look at him or greet him at all. After entering the study room, she said in a sweet manner, ¡°Teacher Qin, please have some water.¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned as he walked toward the direction of the study room. After that, he looked at the tall and young man who was seated next to Gu Anhao. He was drinking the glass of water that Anhao had just given to him. After that, the both of them continued with their tutoring session. In fact, Zuo Hancheng was surprised because this was the first time that he had ever seen her being so well-behaved and obedient. Moreover, it was really rare that she was focusing on her studies in such an intent manner. Qin Feng glanced at the time on his watch and he realized that it was already past nine o¡¯clock at night. At this time, Qin Feng remembered that Mobai had instructed him to teach her every day until she did not feel like studying anymore. Of course, as a tutor, he was always happy to meet a student who enjoyed learning and was very motivated to do so. However, he felt as though he could not keep going anymore for the day. Moreover, he felt that something was off because he realized that Gu Anhao would occasionally look toward the door as though she was peeking at something. Qin Feng subconsciously looked toward the door and he saw Zuo Hancheng standing right outside the study room. Qin Feng hurriedly stood up and turned around before nodding politely at him. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Mobai had already told him that the person who hired him was none other than Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Qin Feng as he asked, ¡°Are you the tutor that Mobai hired?¡± ¡®Yes, President Zuo. My name is Qin Feng and I used to be Mobai¡¯s junior in university. I graduated from my postgraduate studies last year and I am currently working as a departmental manager in a multinational company. I take up some tutoring jobs occasionally during my free time. I have been hoping to meet President Zuo from Shengling Group for quite some time already. It is indeed an honor¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to stop Qin Feng from speaking before he could even finish his sentence. This was because he thought that Qin Feng was simply taking advantage of this opportunity to meet him indirectly. That was the reason why he talked about his own education and career as soon as he met him. Zuo Hancheng was certain that this young man was simply looking for an opportunity to join Shengling Group. He would meet these kind of people all the time. Therefore, he was not interested in this topic at all. Zuo Hancheng glanced at his watch as he asked in a cold manner, ¡°What time will you be done tutoring her today?¡± Qin Feng looked at the time on his watched before he smiled. It was already half past nine. ¡°We are already done for the day. Anhao is really trying very hard to make up for the time that she had lost. This is a rare opportunity for her to catch up with her studies while she is still very motivated to do so. If she is interested to keep up the momentum, I do not mind staying back to continue tutoring her. I am just afraid that it would cause inconvenience to President Zuo.¡± ¡°It¡¯s getting late. You can go back now,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied in a clear and concise manner. He did not intend to say anything else to Qin Feng. Since Qin Feng was hired by Mobai, he was smart enough to know when he should stop speaking. After all, his senior had already told him that President Zuo had a very bad temper. Therefore, since President Zuo had clearly instructed him to leave, he did not try to extend his stay. He simply replied in a respectful manner before he turned around and gave Anhao some homework to do before he left in a quick manner. Anhao had been eavesdropping on their conversation the entire time even though she did not turn around to look at them. Instead, she sat still at the study table as she pretended to be writing. It was only after Qin Feng had left and it was silent for a long time that she turned around quietly to look toward the door. Gu Anhao was shocked when she saw Zuo Hancheng standing behind her as he looked at her with an indifferent and yet solemn expression on his face. ¡°You can close your book and put down your pen already. Why are you pretending to be so hardworking?¡± Anhao could not stop her mouth from twitching. ¡°It is because you interrupted my tutoring session! I was studying hard earlier on until you came and drove Teacher Qin away. Now, I can¡¯t seem to pay any more attention to the books!¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at her coldly as he asked, ¡°Why is your tutor a man?¡± ¡°Huh? What?¡± Anhao asked with an innocent and puzzled expression on her face. Zuo Hancheng could tell that Gu Anhao was deliberately provoking him by pretending to be cute and innocent. However, he continued frowning as he raised his brows at her. ¡°Why did you find a male tutor for yourself?¡± ¡°How would I know?¡± As soon as Anhao answered, she lowered her head as she bit into the end of her pen to avoid his gaze. ¡°You were the one who asked Mobai to arrange for a tutor for me. I did not ask for it on my own! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can give Mobai a call and ask him about it! Anyway, he is just a tutor. A tutor is still a tutor no matter whether the tutor is a male or female. What is the difference anyway?¡± Zuo Hancheng knew that Anhao was being stubborn and persistent because she knew that he would not bother to call Mobai anyway. The young girl wanted to fight with him but she was still too tender and young. Zuo Hancheng was not provoked as he simply smiled before he said, ¡°Gu Anhao, do you even use the tiny brain that you have?¡± At this time, the expression on Gu Anhao¡¯s face remained unchanged but she could feel goosebumps all over her body. It seemed as though the president of Shengling Group was really upset at her this time. Therefore, Gu Anhao mustered the courage to turn around and look at him before she replied, ¡°All that I did was simply to accept the arrangements that you made in an obedient manner. I stayed at home for my tutoring session and I did not go anywhere else today. So, why are you still angry?¡± ¡°Do you know what time it is now?¡± Anhao glanced at the time before she curled her lips and replied, ¡°Nine thirty at night.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already half past nine at night and you were alone in the room with a strange man. What is a man and a woman doing alone in a room when your husband is not home?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Why did this man¡¯s tone sound like he had just gotten off work and caught his wife cheating with another man in his bedroom? Anhao stood up before she glared at him confidently with a determined and arrogant expression on her face. ¡°You were the one who asked Mobai to arrange for a tutor to teach me! You are also the one who is forcing me to improve my grades and pass all of my subjects within a month! If I don¡¯t take advantage of the time that I have to catch up with my studies, then when will I be able to make time to study? I am studying right now and I have a tutor with me even though it is late at night because I am trying to fulfil the promise that I made to you. So, why are you still unhappy? Zuo Hancheng, you are being too much!¡± Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Anhao replied as though she had been seriously wronged. After that, she picked up the tissue box on the table and held it in her arms as she pulled out the tissue piece by piece, wiping the tears off her face. After that, she whimpered as she continued crying, ¡°You are such a big bully! You are forcing me to study and you were the one who arranged for me to have a tutor to coach me in my studies. Now that the tutor is here and I am already studying obediently, you are accusing me of something else! You are really very unfair to me¡­¡± Anhao continued crying as she wiped the tears off her face, and she crumpled the tissue piece by piece before throwing them into the paper basket one by one. However, none of the tissue paper were really soaked in tears. Zuo Hancheng felt that his head was already hurting because of her fake tears. Therefore, he grabbed the tissue box from her hand before throwing it on the table. When he saw that her face was really a little pale, he stood up without saying anything else. Anhao knew that she should not try and provoke him any further. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her once again before he picked up two answer sheets that were placed on the table. He saw that the answers on the answer sheets were not as bad as it was before where almost all the questions were answered incorrectly. In fact, it seemed as though Anhao had gotten eighty percent of the basic questions correct this time. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else and he simply placed the answer sheets back on the table before walking out of the study room. Anhao finally heaved a huge sigh of relief as soon as she saw him leaving. Even though she was the one who willingly accepted the tutoring arrangements, she felt frustrated because it seemed as though she was only studying and working so hard because Zuo Hancheng was forcing her to do so. *** Anhao tidied up her book and answer sheets before she came out of the study room. She saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the sofa as he kept rubbing his temples with his hands. It seemed as though he was really having a headache. No. He would not be having a headache just because of her, right? Anhao walked toward the sofa in disbelief, and it was only when she was standing close to him that she suddenly smelled the faint scent of alcohol on his body. Therefore, she looked at him in surprise as she asked, ¡°Did you drink?¡± That was why Zuo Hancheng could not be bothered to continue arguing with her earlier. If he lost in the argument against her earlier simply because he was drunk, then it meant that she was not as invincible as she thought. At this time, all the excitement that she felt was extinguished in the blink of an eye. ¡°I had a few drinks with some of the industry partners earlier tonight,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied softly. When Anhao saw him rubbing his forehead again, she knew that he was really having a bad headache. Therefore, she instinctively moved closer to him before she sniffed him and said, ¡°You smell like white wine, mixed with several other types of wine. I don¡¯t think you are really drunk. You are probably just feeling dizzy because of the side effects of the alcohol. I guess you can¡¯t avoid drinking during business-related dinners like this since you are the president of a very big and prestigious company, huh?¡± Zuo Hancheng put his hands down and glanced at her before he said, ¡°You are still young so there is a lot that you do not understand.¡± Anhao was really discontented because he said that she was young. He was not that old anyway. He was only ten years older than she was so what difference did that make anyway? How young could she be to him? Moreover, Anhao knew that those small companies and those people who were working in government offices would have to be out socializing all the time. Therefore, as a multinational corporation, the president of Shengling Group definitely played a pivotal role in the domestic and international business community. That was the reason why Zuo Hancheng would surely be socializing way more than she could even begin to imagine. However, Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was a very disciplined person and he would only attend any dinner or social gathering if it were the last resort. Zuo Hancheng would turn down many of these socializing events because he knew that his stomach would not be able to handle it. When Anhao saw that he was having a very bad headache, she stood up before walking away from him immediately. About ten minutes later, Anhao returned to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side with a glass of honey water in her hand. After that, she placed the glass of honey water on the coffee table before she said, ¡°Fortunately, there is a small jar of honey in the refrigerator. I forgot where I heard this but I heard that if you drink some honey water after having a drink, it will help to alleviate any side effects of the alcohol. The principle is simply because honey is rich in fructose and this will be absorbed into your stomach so that it can help with your digestion. You must be having a bad headache because of the alcohol. Do you want to try drinking this glass of honey water?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his head as he stared at Anhao. When she saw that he was not reaching out for the glass, Anhao took the initiative to hand the glass of honey water over to him. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try drinking some of it? Who knows, it might help to relieve your headache. You have nothing to lose by trying it out anyway.¡± Zuo Hancheng felt that this was just a homemade remedy that was found on the internet. After all, if it was so easy to relieve a headache that was caused by drinking too much alcohol, then there would be no need for the development of anti-hangover drugs. However, Zuo Hancheng took the glass of honey water from her without saying anything. He took a sip of the slightly sweet honey water, and his brows softened because of the faint sweetness and pleasant taste of the water. Gu Anhao was very good at mixing the ratio of the honey and water. The slight sweetness of the honey water did not make him feel nauseous at all. In fact, it was rare for someone like Zuo Hancheng to finish an entire glass of honey water as he did not enjoy sweet stuff at all. Anhao felt a slight satisfaction when she saw him drinking the whole glass of honey water. After that, she took the glass from his hand before she stared at him and asked, ¡°Is your head still hurting?¡± ¡°Do you really think that this is a quick-relieving technique to relieve a headache? Do you think that it would have been so effective?¡± ¡°¡­Alright, then. Would you like another glass of honey water?¡± ¡°No,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied immediately. When he saw her sitting down on the sofa obediently, he suddenly felt a sense of tranquility. She was obviously a very dishonest girl, but somehow, he felt at peace at the sight of her there. Zuo Hancheng felt that perhaps this had something to do with that glass of honey water. He stood up immediately before he started unbuttoning the buttons on his shirt. He suddenly said, ¡°In future, the tutor can only come over to the house when I am at home. I do not want you to stupidly invite a strange man into the house when you are all alone.¡± Anhao coughed as she replied, ¡°I am not so stupid. I already checked his identity before I invited him into the house. Moreover, such a good looking person could never be wicked! He is so gentle and kind, and you don¡¯t need to worry because I believe that he would never do anything to me.¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped unbuttoning his shirt for a moment as he turned around to look at her. He smacked his lips tightly together and he was obviously very annoyed at this point. After that, he replied in a sarcastic tone, ¡°You are saying that he is good looking? It is obvious that you have very poor taste in men. You should improve on your taste.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes as she answered, ¡°It is already a long established fact that men and women have absolutely different tastes!¡± Anhao then picked up the glass on the coffee table as she stood up to leave but Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped her as he said, ¡°I meant what I just said.¡± Anhao turned around and stared at him before she said, ¡°You were the one who wanted me to improve my grades and pass all my subjects in just one month. You are always socializing all the time and you always come home late at night. No one knows your timing for certain. If you are going to come home at around nine at night every day, then does that mean I will have to wait until nine o¡¯clock at night before I can start studying with the help of my tutor?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Gu Anhao and he knew that even though she was simply trying to provoke him, there were some truth in what she had just said. ¡°It¡¯s either you stop forcing me to attend tuition classes or stop forcing me to improve my grades! You are the one who asked Mobai to arrange for a tutor for me so I do not understand why you are acting like this right now!¡± Zuo Hancheng remained silent for a short while. When Anhao thought that Zuo Hancheng had already realized his mistake, she turned around and started walking away in an arrogant manner. ¡°Starting from tomorrow, you will head directly to Shengling Group after school. You can have your tuition classes in my office.¡± Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Who Can Endure This! Chapter 61: Who Can Endure This! Translator: 549690339 ¡® .!!!¡±Anhao immediately turned around and glared at him.!¡± Motherf * cker! Did she hear wrongly? Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, as if he did not receive the disbelief and resistance in her eyes. He said calmly, ¡°¡±Also, we still need to see how good Qin Feng¡¯s tutoring skills are. You can use it for now. Remember to bring your Teacher Qin to my office on time every day after school.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng! You¡­¡± Anhao almost dropped the cup in her hand on the floor. Just as she was about to fly into a rage, she felt a chill run down her spine when she saw his lukewarm gaze. She thought about her current situation and realized that it was just a change of venue from Liu Jing Garden to the CEO¡¯s office of Shengling Group. She didn¡¯t lose a single piece of meat. He could only endure it! ¡°Alright, since you like to make me an eyesore in front of you every day, I don¡¯t mind. It¡¯s just the legendary Shengling Group! Who is afraid of who!¡± Anhao held the cup in her hand angrily and turned around to wash the cup under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s meaningful gaze. When she was washing the cups, the sound of the clanging was a clear indication of Young Master An¡¯s anger. Endure, endure, endure! There was a knife on the head of tolerance! This man, Zuo Hancheng, was definitely the second person she wanted to tear apart with her own hands after Gu Shishi! Others would do anything to get in. Entering Shengling Group was to get a job. Entering Shengling Group was equivalent to getting a golden rice bowl. Everyone dreamed of it. But the first time Gu Anhao walked into Shengling Group was actually for tutoring! Who could tolerate this! Standing on the front square of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters, Qin Feng looked at the group building in front of him with admiration. He really wanted to go in and see what the legendary Shengling Group looked like. However, Gu Anhao stood in the square and looked at the building in front of her. She endured it and endured it, even if she couldn¡¯t endure it. It was all because she had fallen into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands. He was now her food and clothing, her husband in name, and even half a guardian! It was now six o¡¯clock in the evening. Outside of the Shengling Group building, some senior employees of individual departments had already gotten off work. The cars in the parking lot had also decreased by a small portion. However, the lights on almost every floor of the building were lit, especially the top floor where the CEO¡¯s office was located. It was brightly lit. Before she came, Anhao sent Zuo Hancheng a text message to confirm that he really wanted her to go to his office for tutoring. However, there was no reply even after half an hour, and he didn¡¯t pick up when she called him just now, so she could only call Mobai. Mobai said that Zuo Hancheng was in a sealed meeting room with a few joint venture partners from the United States who had just gotten off the plane. He had left his phone in the office and did not bring it with him. However, Mobu had already arranged a private elevator for her to reach the top floor of the company building. Gu Anhao immediately brought Qin Feng over. After standing in front of the square in front of Shengling Group for a while, Anhao picked up her bag and walked in with Qin Feng. As soon as they walked into the bright and wide double-layer sensor revolving glass door, the bright reception hall in front of them lit up. The decoration of the reception hall on the first floor of the company was simple and luxurious, but it did not give people the feeling of showing off his success and wealth. Instead, it was closer to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personality. He was low-key and reserved, but he had everything he needed. Moreover, as soon as he walked in, he felt that this was a place with strict management and system. It was so high-end that not just anyone could walk in casually. The lobby was even more spacious than the airport, which reduced An Hao¡¯s imposing manner by half. Qin Feng was observing the legendary Shengling Group with emotion. His eyes were shining with the desire to work here. As Mobai had already made the arrangements, the moment the two of them entered, a beautiful and dignified staff member who had walked over from the first reception desk came forward to lead the way. She brought Anhao and Qin Feng to the elevators that were reserved for the president and special partners. The beautiful staff member even deliberately turned around to look at Anhao and Qin Feng as if she had accidentally done so. After Anhao and Qin Feng entered the elevator, the elevator door closed. The beautiful staff turned around and whispered to a female colleague who was walking over,¡± Is that girl President Zuo¡¯s relative? Mott actually gave them a special access to the CEO¡¯s private elevator and went straight to the top floor. What was his background?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of such a person around President Zuo, but I heard that President Zuo really does have a sister. She¡¯s about the same age as the girl just now, right? Eighteen. She looks like she¡¯s nine years old, but that girl just now, I remember Mobai saying that her surname is Gu, and he asked us to call her Miss Gu, so she¡¯s definitely not President Zuo¡¯s sister.¡± ¡°She¡¯s not President Zuo¡¯s sister, but she still has such a big head. Mr. Mott directly called us to open the privileged passage. I¡¯m really curious about her identity¡­¡± In the elevator, Anhao and Anan didn¡¯t know that her appearance had aroused the curiosity of the staff in the reception area on the first floor of Shengling Group. She just stood in the elevator and could see the scenery outside the clean and transparent glass window. Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters building was located in the most prosperous commercial area of City A. The dozens of floors of the skyscrapers facing the street were already at their feet in the blink of an eye. As it was the CEO¡¯s exclusive elevator, there was no stop on the way. When she reached the top floor, she was still in a daze. Qin Feng called her, and she turned around and followed him out. When he walked out of the elevator and saw the exclusive office area for the CEO, Qin Feng¡¯s expression could only be described as envy and amazement. Anhao looked ahead. She was already shocked when she found out that Zuo Hancheng was the CEO of Shengling Group. However, she had been seeing Zuo Hancheng in real life at home these days. She felt that he had come from a dream to reality, so she didn¡¯t think much of it. But now, she was standing in the CEO¡¯s office, looking at the office through the large French windows, and all the products and paintings. As they walked further in, Mobai had already walked out from the other side. When he saw them, he went forward and smiled. ¡°Miss Gu, Qin Feng, President Zuo has already instructed me to arrange a lounge in his office for you to use when Miss Gu comes with you. Please follow me.¡± Anhao nodded her head. Qin Feng was Mobai¡¯s junior after all. He nodded his head and followed him quietly and gently. Anhao could only follow him, occasionally looking around. Did Zuo Hancheng really want to force her to her death by tutoring in such an environment? Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: What Is His Relationship With President zuo? Chapter 62: What Is His Relationship With President zuo? Translator: 549690339 As Mobai was on the way, they did not enter the CEO¡¯s office. Instead, they pressed a four-digit password on a door next to the CEO¡¯s office. The door opened and they saw that it was a different world. There were a few doors with different functions inside. The layout of each technological protection door was very reasonable and detailed. Mobai swiped a card to open one of them and turned around to pass the card to Anhao. ¡°Miss Gu, this lounge is for you and Qin Feng. There¡¯s a desk, a computer, and a lot of spare literature archives inside, so this should be suitable for your tutoring. Take this room card. In the future, you can come directly to this room from the dedicated elevator every day.¡± Anhao took the card and nodded blankly. She still couldn¡¯t believe that she had come to Shengling Group for tuition. Coincidentally, there was someone called MO Bai outside. MO Bai politely nodded to her and Qin Feng before walking out. It sounded like one of the secretaries in the secretary office had something to discuss with him. The secretary spoke to Mobai in a respectful and careful tone, as if he was speaking to a high-ranking superior. If someone of Mobai¡¯s level was already being treated with such caution, then Zuo Hancheng, the real big BOSS, would definitely be even more frightening. It was as if Anhao suddenly realized that Mobai, whom she had always treated as a friend, was a high-level manager of Shengling Group that everyone looked up to. The Zuo Hancheng that she had always wanted to tear apart with her own hands was¡­ Why did he suddenly feel lost and helpless? After sitting down in the lounge, Qin Feng started to tutor Anhao for the rest of yesterday¡¯s lessons without any distractions. Anhao listened to the class while occasionally looking at the scenery outside the French windows. This was the place closest to Zuo Hancheng, which was equivalent to the center of the most prosperous central area of A City. This was the highest place. Just by sitting here and casually looking around, it was as if he could see all the buildings in A City and everything at a glance. Only by sitting here would she know. Zuo Hancheng was not just a man who occasionally teased her at home. He was the leader of this business empire and a legend in the business world of A City and even domestic and foreign countries. She twirled the pen in her hand and was thinking about how Zuo Hancheng once said that she was a kitten that had fallen into a quagmire. Did a big shot like him really treat her like a cat and tease her by keeping her by his side? ¡°Anhan ¡°Anhao?¡± Qin Feng called her name for a long time before Anhao suddenly came back to her senses. She turned her eyes and said,¡±Ah?¡± Seeing her somewhat stunned appearance, Qin Feng smiled and softly said,¡±l see that you haven¡¯t been in the mood to study since you arrived here today. Why don¡¯t I let you rest for a few minutes and calm down before you continue reading?¡± What a good person! He was so understanding of her current feelings! It was her first time at Shengling Group, so how could she not feel anything? Anhao grinned and supported her chin with her hand. ¡°You and President Zuo¡­¡± Qin Feng asked at the same time. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering his wording. What is the relationship between the two? Anhao turned to look at him.¡± Qin Feng smiled lightly.¡± You¡¯re still young. You¡¯re still a student who hasn¡¯t graduated from high school. However, your surname isn¡¯t Zuo, so you¡¯re not President Zuo¡¯s sister.¡± But because of your age and your identity as a student, I don¡¯t think you can be President Zuo¡¯s wife or lover.¡± ¡°Actually, this is your own personal situation, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to ask. But today, you suddenly changed your location and asked me to come here to tutor you. That¡¯s why I¡¯m curious about your relationship.¡± In fact, Anhao did not like to explain her relationship with Zuo Hancheng. If she were to tell the truth, some people would not believe her, while others would exaggerate and spread rumors to cause misunderstandings and chaos. Although Qin Feng was a man who didn¡¯t talk much and didn¡¯t gossip much, she didn¡¯t want to explain too much about the relationship between her tutor and student. So she just chuckled, ¡°Even if my surname isn¡¯t Zuo, I can¡¯t be his sister?¡± Couldn¡¯t he have some kind of uncle or aunt? Couldn¡¯t he have some kind of cousin?¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Qin Feng nodded. Seeing that he didn¡¯t probe further, Anhao smiled and picked up her pen.¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s continue!¡± It did not matter if Zuo Hancheng was the big BOSS of some business empire. He was a human being anyway, a mortal with flesh and blood. He was also a simple person who had a headache after drinking so much that he would drink the honey water she made¡­ With that thought, Anhao felt much more comfortable and her writing became much smoother. At 7:50 p. m., Qin Feng suddenly received a call from a friend. He said that one of his friends had an accident and asked him to go to the hospital to help. Qin Feng had no choice but to leave early. Anhao sat alone in the lounge and earnestly wrote down the homework that Qin Feng had left for her. After writing for more than ten minutes, she vaguely heard a familiar ringtone from the office next door. The ringtone was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personal phone. She had heard it before and recognized it. After listening to the bell ring once, he didn¡¯t take it seriously. After a few minutes, it rang again. She put down her pen and stood up. She walked to the small door that separated her office and the door. Her small hand twisted the doorknob, but it didn¡¯t open. She took out the card that Mobai had given her from her pocket and swiped it. The door opened immediately. She was stunned. She had just tried to open the door to see if she could enter the office, but when she really took two steps forward and stepped into the CEO¡¯s office area, Anhao looked at the spacious CEO¡¯s office area in surprise. The spacious and bright office was separated by two rows of sofas. On one side was an office area with a large and bright desk. There were a few high-performance computers, bookshelves, and huge glass cabinets with many data files. Many complicated electronic data and data that she could not understand kept jumping on the huge computer screens, making her dizzy. On the other side, it was similar to a leisure space. There was a passage leading to the company¡¯s rooftop golf course. Only when they walked in did they realize that this place was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s real lounge. There was a television, a sound system, and the necessary daily necessities. There was also a separate washroom and bathroom. This was the resting room that he usually used. Anhao had never been to a place like this before. After looking at it for a long time, she was even particularly interested in the bronze statue of the jaguar at the door. However, she did not go over to touch it because Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone rang again. She looked at the phone on the desk that was flashing under the light and walked over to pick it up. She didn¡¯t see the caller ID, but she recognized that it was a string of American landline numbers. She hesitated for a moment before picking it up. After all, he had called three times, and it was a personal call. It should be something urgent. ¡°Hello.¡± Anhao picked up the phone, but she was afraid that she would accidentally receive a call that she shouldn¡¯t have, so she spoke in a professional tone and tried her best to pretend to be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s secretary.. Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: The Left-wing Pervert Who Bullies the Chapter 63: The Left-wing Pervert Who Bullies the Flowers of the Motherland Translator: 549690339 There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a woman¡¯s voice. ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t this the private phone of Han City? May I ask who you are, Miss?¡± Anhao¡¯s first reaction when she heard a woman¡¯s voice was that she was done for! Had she accidentally received a call from his girlfriend or lover?! Hence, she steadied her voice and pretended to be a secretary.¡±l¡¯m sorry, President Zuo is in the meeting room and hasn¡¯t returned yet. He left his phone in the office. I¡¯m his secretary¡­¡± ¡°You want to say that you¡¯re his secretary, right?¡± The woman on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed. ¡°Alright, stop pretending to be on the phone. Hancheng never gives his personal phone number to his secretary or assistant, and his secretary doesn¡¯t dare to pick up his private phone number.¡± ¡® ..¡±¡±Huh?¡± Anhao was shocked. How was she supposed to answer this! She could not understand the woman¡¯s straightforward question on the other end of the phone. Which woman of Zuo Hancheng was this? She was actually so magnanimous. She could hear that her identity was not simple, yet she could still smile and even call her girlfriend! ¡°That¡­ No, you misunderstood. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m definitely not President Zuo¡¯s girlfriend. I have nothing to do with him. Please don¡¯t misunderstand!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s true, then it¡¯s true. If it¡¯s not true, then it¡¯s not. Why are you panicking?¡± The woman on the other end of the phone laughed again. She sounded like she was in a good mood. ¡°She can even enter his office at will. If she¡¯s not his girlfriend, what else can she be?¡± Anhao was speechless. Where did this big sister on the other end of the phone come from? ¡°If there¡¯s anything urgent you need from President Zuo, please call back later. He¡¯s still in the conference room. If there¡¯s nothing else you need me to pass on, I¡¯ll hang up first.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t want to be with her anymore. He picked up the phone to make sure that there was nothing particularly urgent, so he decided to hang up. ¡°Hey, little girl, don¡¯t hang up yet. Let me ask you, how old are you this year? How long have you been with Han Cheng?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t even bother to answer her. She felt that this woman was a little strange. Don¡¯t you know that Zuo Hancheng is busy at this time? Since there was nothing urgent, why did she keep calling his private phone? She thought that it was a life-threatening matter, so she had no choice but to answer the phone. Besides, Gu Anhao was still Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Even if she was only in name, there was no reason for her to be his relationship consultant or chat with his other women. She rolled her eyes at the beautiful white table lamp in the office, but she continued to smile professionally and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Zuo is busy. If you don¡¯t have anything urgent, I¡¯ll¡­¡± ¡°Who says I don¡¯t have something urgent to do?¡± . Then do you need me to ask Assistant MO to pass on your message to President Zuo? Or could he wait a little longer? President Zuo should be back soon. ¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for a while.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°That¡¯s not very good. This is President Zuo¡¯s private phone number, and there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything to talk about between us.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I can call whoever I want. He can¡¯t care, and he doesn¡¯t dare to care.¡±The woman was still in a good mood. She smiled and said,¡±Little girl, tell me the truth. How old are you?¡± Anhao was a little speechless. Someone who could speak in such a tone must have been pampered by Zuo Hancheng. Thinking about her identity as the main wife, hanging up the phone like this seemed to be a little suspicious. It was too cowardly, so she simply confessed, ¡°Twenty.¡± It was only two to three months away from her birthday, so it was not too much to say that she was twenty. ¡°Twenty years old? So small?¡± ¡°How did you know him?¡± The woman on the other end of the phone was surprised. How long had they been together? Are you living together? When are you planning to get married?¡± Anhao suddenly felt that this woman was a little interesting. She took her phone and looked for a seat. She sat down on the comfortable office chair behind the desk and leaned back. ¡°Who said that a woman who has been with him must marry him? You know him so well, but you haven¡¯t even married him. Who do you think I am?¡± The woman on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent for a moment, as if she finally understood the reason for the little girl¡¯s impatient tone. She could not help but laugh to herself for a while. Without explaining, she smiled and said,¡±As far as I know, Han Cheng¡¯s love life style¡­ It doesn¡¯t seem to be as messy as you said¡­¡± ¡°How is it not chaotic? Every two or three days, there would be women jumping off buildings for him. There would be women who would go crazy just to see him. There would be a female celebrity who wanted to seduce him. In the blink of an eye, he went to a hotel with another woman and even forced a twenty-year-old girl to stay by his side.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true!¡± Anhao started to chat excitedly.¡± Let me tell you, you should stay away from a man like Zuo Hancheng if you can. Don¡¯t be as silly as the female celebrity who jumped off a building for him a while ago. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Why do you have to fall in love with a single flower?¡±¡± ¡°This¡­¡¯ ¡°Although this man is rich, powerful, good-looking, and has countless reasons to make women fall in love with him, based on his fickle and unreliable style, he¡¯s definitely not suitable to entrust his life to her!¡± ¡°Is that so¡­¡± ¡°So I sincerely suggest that you stop wasting your time on him! It wasn¡¯t worth it! A man like him was arrogant, narcissistic, and arrogant. He pretended to be arrogant and cool all day long to make others look at him! I guess Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother must have failed to educate him since he was young!¡± ¡°If I have the chance to see his mother, I will definitely let her know how bad her son is! She definitely didn¡¯t know that her son liked to bully those who didn¡¯t succeed. A young girl! He won¡¯t even let go of the flowers of the motherland!¡± ¡® Anyway, he¡¯s definitely not worthy of you giving him so much of your heart. Believe me, you should quickly find someone else to marry. Don¡¯t stay by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side anymore. I want to beat up a man like him hundreds of times every day. He still thinks he¡¯s so high and mighty¡­ ¡°Haha¡­¡± A burst of uncontrollable laughter suddenly came from the phone. Anhao was instantly silenced by her laughter. She held the phone to her ear and asked with a lonely look,¡±¡±Eh? What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re too funny, haha!¡± Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: If You Don’t Run Now, When? Chapter 64: If You Don¡¯t Run Now, When? Translator: 549690339 ¡°Don¡¯t call me little girl! Zuo Hancheng is only twenty-nine years old. How old can you be? You must be only a few years older than me. Don¡¯t talk to me in such a mature and worldly tone! Let me tell you, I¡¯ve personally verified all of this. Zuo Hancheng is definitely a hypocrite in life and a fickle person in relationships. State, he¡­ Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a figure approaching from the glass in front of the CEO¡¯s office from the corner of his eye, accompanied by the secretary¡¯s serious report behind that person. Two figures appeared in front of the door. Anhao immediately said into the phone,¡±¡±The pervert is back. I¡¯m hanging up first!¡± She put her phone down on the desk and turned around to go back to the lounge. However, before she could reach the door of the lounge, the office door was already opened from the outside. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure appeared in front of the door. As soon as he entered the door, he caught a glimpse of the figure who was sneaking toward the resting room. He frowned but did not stop her. He turned around and glanced at his secretary, Lin Qing, who was still reporting the latest data. ¡°¡±That¡¯s all for today. Send me the data. I¡¯ll look at it tomorrow.¡± Lin Qing also saw the girl in the CEO¡¯s office, but seeing that the CEO did not have any strange expression, she did not say much and nodded her head obediently. ¡°Okay, President Zuo.¡± After Lin Qing turned around and left, Zuo Hancheng walked into the CEO¡¯s office. His dark eyes glanced at Gu Anhao, who had yet to escape, and he closed the door. Anhao was also frozen at the door of the resting room. She knew that she had run slowly and was still seen by him. She could only turn around and smile at him. She raised her hand and scratched in the air.¡±Hi Zuo Hancheng was dressed in a high-quality shirt. The exquisite cufflinks were low-key but did not fall off, showing off his taste as a man. His figure was tall and slender, and he was so good-looking that he did not know how to describe it. He casually put on a high-end custom-made suit jacket in his arms. He was not as casual as he usually was when he went home. He exuded the solemn aura of a proud son of heaven from head to toe, and there was an innate coldness and alienation between his elegant brows. Even more so, when he stood in the office, his mature and steady manly aura made her almost instantly confused and enchanted. His calm and composed temperament made people want to get close to him. Realizing that she had been bewitched by him, Anhao shuddered and quickly came back to her senses. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with his clear eyes.¡¯ ¡°¡®What are you doing here?¡± Anhao awkwardly pointed at the door of the lounge next to her, then pointed at the office.¡±¡±l heard your phone on the table ring for a long time, so I tried to swipe the card Mobai gave me on the door. Who knew I would come in.¡± Initially, Zuo Hancheng did not pay much attention to her coming in to answer the call. However, when he saw her guilty expression, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He walked to his desk and placed his coat on the back of the chair. He picked up his phone and looked at the call history. Anhao turned around and bit her nails. Didn¡¯t he say too much just now? Even if that woman was on the phone with him again, she probably wouldn¡¯t tell him what she had just said. Just as she was thinking about it, Zuo Hancheng dialed the number back. She turned around and wanted to go back to the lounge to hide. She vaguely heard that the call had been picked up. Anhao was about to dash into the lounge when she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng say to the person on the other end of the phone,¡± ¡°Mom.¡± Mother? Mother? Oh my god! Anhao stumbled into the resting room and quickly closed the door. She was about to pack her things and leave. She would never have thought that she was on the phone with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother! She had just said over the phone that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother had not taught him well since he was young! She even said that her son was a left-handed pervert! If he didn¡¯t run now, when would he?! On the other side, in the CEO¡¯s office, Zuo Hancheng put down his phone and turned around to walk to the resting room. When he opened the door, he saw Gu Anhao had just tidied up the pile of books and papers on the table. She was quickly picking up her new student canvas bag and was about to leave. Zuo Hancheng held back his laughter and raised his eyebrows. ¡°What did you say on the phone just now?¡± Anhao¡¯s body stiffened. She turned around to look at him and grinned, ¡°¡±You guess.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not continue asking. Seeing that she was ready to escape at any moment, he asked casually,¡± ¡°That Qin guy didn¡¯t come today?¡± It seemed like he did not intend to pursue the matter just now¡­ Could it be that his mother was merciful? He actually didn¡¯t tell her that she had said bad things about him just now? Anhao instantly had a good impression of her mother-in-law, who she had heard before she even met her, but she still felt a little guilty. ¡°Teacher Qin helped me tutor for almost two hours today. She left first because of something urgent. ¡± ¡°You came here after evening self-study. You haven¡¯t had dinner yet? ¡°he asked. Anhao rubbed her belly and looked at him eagerly.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t eat.¡¯ She only had 30 yuan a day, so how could she bear to eat all of it? She had wanted Qin Feng to treat her to a meal, but because she was going to Shengling Group today, her heart had been on tenterhooks. She had forgotten to ask Teacher Qin to treat her to a meal, so she had been starving until now. Seeing that she was clutching the bag tightly in her hands, looking as if she had a guilty conscience but wanted to get a free meal, Zuo Hancheng snorted and said,¡¯ ¡°¡®What do you want to eat?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t believe that he would be so kind. Even if his mother didn¡¯t tell him what she said on the phone just now, based on his tone and expression just now, he must have guessed that she had done something ¡± treasonous.¡± So, why would he be so kind as to bring her to eat delicious food? Seeing her standing there in a daze, Zuo Hancheng sneered and said,¡± ¡°Stop pretending. Think about what you want to eat first. I only give you five minutes to think about it.¡± With that, he turned around and left the lounge. He picked up his coat and walked out of the office. Anhao hurriedly followed him out. Even when she followed him into the elevator, she still had an unyielding expression on her face, but her heart was already spinning. Ninety turns, thinking about how to treat others badly, but not his own stomach. When the elevator reached the first floor, she glanced at the time and saw that it was almost five minutes away. She followed closely behind Zuo Hancheng and suddenly said, want to eat hotpot!¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at her as she carried her bag and obediently followed him. He did not say anything and turned around to return to the elevator. Anhao had no choice but to follow him in.. Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: You Don’t Like It? Chapter 65: You Don¡¯t Like It? Translator: 549690339 The elevator went all the way to the underground parking lot. Finally, when Anhao got into the black Bentley that she was very familiar with, she turned her head away and covered her face with her school bag. She secretly laughed when he couldn¡¯t see her face clearly. As expected, pretending to be pitiful was useful. Zuo Hancheng did not ask anything and just took her to enjoy a hot pot meal. Just as she was smiling, thinking that he couldn¡¯t see her, she suddenly felt a deep gaze on her face. She suddenly looked up and saw her smiling face in the rearview mirror outside the car window. At the same time, she stopped smiling¡­She met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze through the rearview mirror. Their eyes met, and she smiled brightly. She silently shifted her bag to cover her entire face. After a moment of silence, she slowly raised her head and pretended that nothing had happened. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t eat hotpot. Just eat something¡­¡± It was better to soothe this tiger¡¯s fur first¡­ln case he suffered.. When the black Bentley drove out of Shengling Group¡¯s underground parking lot, Anhao¡¯s little heart was already on tenterhooks. However, she would occasionally glance at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile. Other than being handsome, he was still handsome! No wonder those women dared to call him the national prince charming just because of the only photo of his side profile on the Internet. If his face was exposed in front of the media, would those women explode? She had originally thought that she might as well tell him the truth about what she had said on the phone during dinner later, lest his mother revealed it in the future and he came back to kill her. It was better to be honest and lenient. It was better than feeling guilty for no reason and feeling that every action and gaze of his would make her worry for no reason. Just as he was thinking about it, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone rang again. He did not pick it up. The pleasant ringtone rang for a while before it stopped. Two minutes later, it rang again. Anhao turned around and reminded him kindly,¡± Your phone is ringing Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and glanced at it. He did not pick it up, and after turning it off, he threw it aside. Anhao was stunned. Seeing that he had no intention of answering the call, she could only raise her eyebrows and stop meddling in his business. After that, Zuo Hancheng brought her to the most famous hotpot restaurant in A City. Although he did not put on airs to the point of ordering people to clear the area, his face was like a pass when he appeared. Without wasting any time, the various lobby managers and various persons-in-charge took the initiative to come out and specially set up an independent and spacious single room on the third floor for them, so as to avoid the first and second floors from attracting President Zuo¡¯s displeasure because there were too many guests and too much noise. After sitting at the table that the manager of the hotpot restaurant had specially arranged for them, Zuo Hancheng asked someone to pass the menu to her. Anhao did not stand on ceremony. She ordered a bunch of her favorite dishes, both meat and vegetables. However, she thought that Zuo Hancheng would not like spicy food like her, so she ordered the bottom of the mandarin duck soup. In the end, it was not until the person in charge of the hotpot city and the ordering staff left that she drank the appetizing tea that they sent over and looked at the city that was already hidden under the night sky outside the hotpot city. It was night outside. Colorful lights lit up the building, and many large screens were interwoven with images. A City was the most prosperous city in the country. She wondered if she would be able to sit here and eat and drink without restraint in a few years. Would she be able to sit in front of someone like Zuo Hancheng in a few years? Should be¡­ It can¡¯t be¡­ ¡°I brought you out to eat hotpot, and you still have such a sad expression.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, she snapped back to her senses and turned to look at him. She was secretly embarrassed for a moment before she found an excuse. ¡°I was asked to improve my grades in all subjects in a month. I can¡¯t help but feel sad whenever I think of these things¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly.¡± You¡¯ve already handed over your bank card. Why are you only feeling sad now?¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Of course, she remembered how she had offended this old man. If she hadn¡¯t been greedy for the ten million bounty back then, and had brazenly said that he had found out about it, she wouldn¡¯t have been tortured like this! She clicked her tongue quietly, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by the big screen on the building opposite. The big screen was showing the live red carpet broadcast of a Hollywood awards ceremony at the end of the year. Celebrities wearing expensive and exquisite clothes walked on the red carpet. This award ceremony was the most representative and valuable award ceremony in the global entertainment industry. No other award ceremony could compare to it. Those who could walk on this red carpet were all international superstars and Hollywood stars. Although Anhao didn¡¯t chase after celebrities, she was still attracted by the luxurious scene and the blonde-haired and blue-eyed beauties walking on the red carpet in all kinds of branded gowns. Zuo Hancheng glanced in the direction she was looking at. Anhao had been staring at the celebrities on the big screen outside, so she did not notice that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes had turned much colder. It was not until a beautiful woman who looked familiar appeared on the screen that Anhao suddenly pointed at the big screen outside and said,¡±¡±Wow, she¡¯s the one who entered Hollywood a few years ago and acted in several high-box office blockbusters. Her name is Lys¡­Lys, what snow!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at the big screen that she was pointing at, nor did he look at the woman who was walking past the big screen. In fact, he completely ignored her. Anhao said in surprise, ¡°I saw her photo in Chunchun¡¯s phone a few months ago! Chunchun said that she¡¯s a Chinese American, and her English name is very famous internationally. What¡¯s her Chinese name again? I think her name is Xue or something, but I don¡¯t remember that ¡°Chunchun said that she¡¯s the kind of international idol who¡¯s especially proactive and gives people positive energy. She¡¯s also some kind ambassador! This woman named Lesxue was her goddess, the person she wanted to learn from and look forward to. She even said that she wanted to have plastic surgery to look like her when she grew up! She looked really beautiful!¡± Just as she was mesmerized by the female celebrity, she suddenly felt the temperature around her drop. She snapped back to her senses and looked at Zuo Hancheng. She saw that there was no change in his dark and beautiful eyes, and his expression was cold and emotionless. He was sitting opposite her and looking at her. His eyes were indifferent and his thin lips were slightly pursed. His calm and unmoving appearance made her feel as if she was immersed in an ice cave. She couldn¡¯t help but look at him, then at the big screen outside the window. The Chinese American celebrity named Xue had already finished walking the red carpet and was temporarily nowhere to be seen, so she retracted her gaze and blinked..¡±You don¡¯t like it?¡± Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Alright, Alright, Alright, I’ll delete it! Chapter 66: Alright, Alright, Alright, I¡¯ll delete it! Translator: 549690339 ¡°Should I like it?¡± Anhao held her chin.¡± That¡¯s true. Only women like to watch red carpet ceremonies like this. Fortunately, I don¡¯t chase after celebrities. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t miss any of them. Just studying the brands of clothes, jewelry, and bags these female celebrities wear every day is enough to burn my brain. How could I have the brain capacity to memorize the questions?¡¯¡±¡® Even though she said that, she had never seen Zuo Hancheng with such a cold expression. Women were always sensitive. Anhao was no exception. She stole another glance at the big screen and then at his expression. She remembered that he seemed to have stayed in the United States for many years. He had only moved the company¡¯s headquarters back to China five years ago, which meant that the United States was once his base. With his status, it was not impossible for him to have some emotional ties with an international superstar. However, it shouldn¡¯t be such a coincidence. Besides, she remembered that the woman who walked out of the elevator with him at Deways Hotel was not the one on the big screen, so it was unlikely. After a while, the hotpot soup base and various meat and vegetable dishes were pushed over by the dining cart. Anhao obediently ate first. It was more important to fill her stomach. Only when she was almost done did she have the time to gossip. While the hotpot was steaming, she noticed that Zuo Hancheng did not eat much. Basically, everything she ordered was her favorite food. He did not order anything, and it seemed that he was not interested in hotpot. While he wasn¡¯t paying attention, she took out her phone under the table and secretly took a photo of his side profile through the hotpot. She was going to sell it to the media when he offended her. The title of the photo could be ¡®The CEO of Shengling Group, Zuo Hancheng, also likes hotpot¡­¡¯ Of course, he wouldn¡¯t send the photos to others right now. She wanted to keep it. When he offended her in the future, she would sell it for money! Just as Anhao was about to put away her phone smugly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. ¡°I deleted it.¡± She suddenly looked up at him in surprise. He clearly didn¡¯t see her using the phone to take a picture of him. How was that possible?! Zuo Hancheng looked at her and said,¡±¡±Ten, nine, seven¡­¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay, I¡¯ll delete it!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and picked up her phone to delete the photos she had secretly taken just now. Then, she put her phone on the table reluctantly. They spent a week safe and sound. On the weekend, the renovation company successfully passed the security and inspection system of the Liujing Garden and began to prepare for the renovation. Because only the second floor was renovated, and the space on the second floor did not have as many necessary pipes and wires as the first floor, many of them only needed to be arranged properly to play the role of auxiliary and backup, so the renovation process would be very fast. It was just that Anhao and Zuo Hancheng could not go back for the week. Since it was the end of the year, the entire Shengling Group was at its busiest. Zuo Hancheng was also busy, so he decided to stay in the company while Anhao could finally return to her dormitory for a week. However, for the past week, Anhao would still bring Qin Feng to the company for tutoring every night after self-study. Zuo Hancheng had set a time for Qin Feng. Every night from 5:30 to 8:00, it was tutoring time, so when the time came, Qin Feng would leave immediately. Anhao could only study the questions in the book silently by herself. Occasionally, she had the privilege of tutoring in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office when he was there. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office was very big. She could just casually arrange a small white desk in a random spot and let her use it without looking too out of place. Usually, when Anhao didn¡¯t use the desk, there would be a lot of documents on the spare small desk. When she sat here for tutoring, there were only her books, notebooks, and test papers on the table. The last freezing rain in A City had passed, and fine snowflakes were falling outside the window. Shengling Group¡¯s building was located in the most prosperous area of A City, and it was located in the high-end technology district. The large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the office reflected the snow outside as if they were there. Anhao turned around and stared at the snowflakes outside the window in a daze for a while. She only turned back when her neck was sore from the twisting. In the blink of an eye, he saw Zuo Hancheng sitting at his desk, moving the mouse in his hand, checking the data on the computer and a few newly submitted project reports. The large computer screens around her were still flashing with data that she could not understand. Shengling Group was a big company that covered all kinds of things. There were many large and medium-sized enterprises under it. In addition, there were various financial investment subsidiary companies, some sub-established nominal companies, and so on. Many departments had different reports and data. Although there were people in charge of each position, the reason why Shengling Group was so famous internationally was also largely related to Zuo Hancheng, the president, who did not slack off at all. After a few days, she knew that Zuo Hancheng must not be disturbed when he was working. Therefore, Anhao was very obedient and did not disturb him. She was just tired from reading. After looking at the snow outside for a while, she inadvertently started to look at Zuo Hancheng who was working. The data on the computer gradually turned normal, and there were even some stock curve values that she could not understand. Zuo Hancheng let go of the mouse and raised his hand. His fingertips pressed against his forehead. He seemed to be a little tired. After a while, he seemed to notice Anhao¡¯s gaze and slowly turned to look at her. Seeing that he was finally going to stop and rest for a while, An Hao smiled and pointed at the large French window behind them.¡±Look, it¡¯s snowing!¡± It was not surprising that it was snowing, but the excitement on Anhao¡¯s face made Zuo Hancheng smile.¡±¡±¡®What¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao got up and walked to the French windows, looking at the falling snowflakes outside. She stood there and looked at the bustling city through the snowy scenery. She pressed her face against the glass window and opened her mouth to breathe. Because it was snowy outside the window and the air conditioner in the office was at a moderate temperature, a small puff of air instantly came out of the window. She raised her hand and drew a small sun on the air, and then drew a smiling face in the circle of the sun. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes stared at her childish actions quietly and did not interrupt her. Ann seemed to be in high spirits. She kept breathing on the window. She drew a small sun, a small flower, a small fish, or a bird. Finally, she drew two hearts. She poked her fingers at the places where she breathed. In the blink of an eye, the patterns she drew had lost their original shape. She happily wiped her hands on the window twice and then pressed her face against the cold glass, deliberately squeezing her nose out of shape.. Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: Bring Her to the Feast at Hongmen Chapter 67: Bring Her to the Feast at Hongmen Translator: 549690339 ¡°How can you be so happy just because of the snow?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind her, and it was very close. Anhao turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. He was standing right behind her, very close to her. She turned around abruptly and almost bumped into her arms. She could even smell his clean and unique scent. She couldn¡¯t help but turn her face back and continue to stick to the floor-to-ceiling glass window. She didn¡¯t care about her image at all and continued to squeeze her nose against the glass until it was deformed. Then, she turned her face sideways and pressed her face down until it was deformed. As she played, she said,¡±lt¡¯s not strange to see snow, but it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen snow from such a high place.¡± ¡°Moreover¡­¡± She pointed outside.¡± This is the first snowfall of the year in A City. The weather is so cold. Although it¡¯s the first snow, it hasn¡¯t melted when it falls on the ground. It¡¯s only been snowing for more than an hour. As far as the eye can see, the outside has already become pure white. It makes people feel especially good just looking at it.¡± Zuo Hancheng stood behind her and looked at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her. Looking down from above, it was as if he was standing on the top of the clouds and gazing at the human world. Anhao had always been very excited. Although she was childish, she kept drawing on the floor-to-ceiling window. As she drew, she pointed at the pattern on it and said,¡±Zuo Hancheng, do you think my drawing looks like you? Look at those eyebrows and eyes! Hahaha¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, look at this! This is more like you! Look at this annoying face! Too much like you! I, Gu Anhao, have wasted my talent by not becoming an artist in this lifetime! Haha Zuo Hancheng withdrew his gaze from the distant night sky and looked at the messy things she had drawn on the window without saying a word. His gloomy eyes looked at the little girl who was so excited that she looked like she was about to jump out of the window. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. The snow continued to fall, and Anhao got tired after jumping in front of the window for a while. She turned around and went back to the table to pick up her book again. After a while, Secretary Lin Qing walked in with a stack of documents in her hands. When Lin Qing saw Anhao sitting on the new spare desk, although he had seen her more than once in the past few days, he had never looked at her for more than three seconds. Anhao had to admit that the secretaries and assistants that Zuo Hancheng kept by his side were all people of high quality and self-control. Mobai was one of them, and so was Lin Qing. Although Lin Qing was a young female secretary, she knew her limits. She wouldn¡¯t ask more questions, and she wouldn¡¯t look at people she shouldn¡¯t. Although Anhao had been tutoring in his office for the past few days, she had gradually gotten used to the environment. Moreover, because the senior employees around Zuo Hancheng were all of high quality, none of them made her feel uncomfortable, so she was getting more and more used to this place. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Lin Qing placed the documents on the table and said,¡¯¡±¡®& Chairman Han of E & M Group, Chairman of the Northern Financial Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman Xu of Hengtian Company have already booked a table at Deways Hotel. The dinner time that we had previously agreed on with you is today. It¡¯s already 9:30 p. m. The agreed time is 10 p. m. The car is already ready.¡± Lin Qing looked at the time and said,¡±¡±President Zuo, do you need a few secretaries or assistants to go with you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to arrange anything.¡± Zuo Hancheng picked up the document that Lin Qing brought and flipped through it before putting it aside. He suddenly pondered for a moment and said calmly,¡±¡±Anhao, come with me.¡± Anhao was looking down at a math question on the exercise paper, and her mind was about to go crazy. Suddenly, she heard Zuo Hancheng call her name, and she looked up abruptly.¡±What? You want me to go?¡± Lin Qing was also surprised. Mr. Zuo had always been a person who separated public and private matters. No matter what relationship he had with Miss Gu, under normal circumstances, Mr. Zuo would never bring someone who had nothing to do with the company or business to attend such a social event with him. Moreover, Chairman Han of E & M Group, Chairman of the Northern Financial Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman Xu of Hengtian Company were all people in the industry that could not be easily offended. Although Zuo Hancheng had a high reputation in the industry, if the three of them were to visit at the same time, they would definitely want a share of the recent big movements in A City. It was also the three of them working together to try to put pressure on Shengling Group. In such a situation, wouldn¡¯t it be better to bring along the most capable assistant secretary and some related staff? But since this was the CEO¡¯s intention, Lin Qing didn¡¯t dare to ask further even though he had doubts in his eyes. He only nodded and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll make the arrangements.¡± ¡°You want me to accompany you to a social gathering?¡± Anhao still hadn¡¯t recovered from her shock.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her as if he could tell what she was worried about.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry. With your looks, I won¡¯t push you out to be treated as a female host. I don¡¯t need you to accompany others to drink either.¡± Anhao heaved a sigh of relief. However, when she heard the names of the people and companies that Secretary Lin had mentioned just now, although she did not know much about them, the names were particularly resounding. Even the name of the company sounded familiar, so it must be a very big company in the country. Moreover, it had a high status. Moreover, it was arranged at such a late time. No matter how she felt, it did not feel right. However, since Zuo Hancheng had already said so, there was no need for her to think too much about it. Since she did not have much to eat at night, she could go to Deways for a meal. She would go as long as he would not sell her. Even if Zuo Hancheng was so heartless as to sell her, she would never agree to it! Anhao didn¡¯t change her clothes when she left the company. As it was the weekend tomorrow, she did not wear her school uniform. Instead, she wore the set of clothes that Zuo Hancheng had bought for her the other day. It was a casual women¡¯s jumpsuit with a khaki windbreaker on top. She didn¡¯t look too mature nor too immature. The style and color of the clothes matched her skin tone very well. Moreover, it didn¡¯t seem like a young lady like her needed to change her clothes for such an occasion, so she followed her into the car. In the car, the chauffeur was driving while Anhao and Zuo Hancheng sat in the back seat. She looked out of the window at the snow road and the lights on both sides of the road. The fiery neon lights exclaimed at the prosperity of A City. It was already late at night in such cold weather, but all the shops were open. The dazzling lights were no less than in summer. The car stopped in front of the Deways Hotel. Anhao was about to get out of the car when she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng say,¡±¡±Anhao, don¡¯t touch any drinks or alcohol tonight.¡± She was stunned. Zuo Hancheng had already gotten out of the car, so she could only follow him out of the car in a daze and jog behind him. After he got out of the car, the snowflakes falling from the sky instantly dyed the shoulders of his black trench coat white. She followed behind him and asked softly, ¡°What game did you participate in tonight? You brought me here and told me not to drink? Is this a trap?¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. He said in a deep voice,¡±¡±More or less..¡± Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Killing People in the Mall Without Blood Chapter 68: Killing People in the Mall Without Blood Translator: 549690339 Anhao widened her eyes and took a step back.¡±Then I don¡¯t want to go. You asked me to come but told me to be careful. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble! It would be safer for me to take a car home!¡± However, just as she took a step back, Zuo Hancheng had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. She stumbled into his arms and before she could say anything, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear, ¡°What will happen to me if you leave?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t understand. She looked up at him and saw that his eyes were firm. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t want her to go back. She really had to go with him to today¡¯s banquet. I knew he had bad intentions! He had his secretary and assistant, but he didn¡¯t let them come. He only asked her to follow him. First, he reminded her not to drink recklessly and to be careful. Then, he didn¡¯t let her go home. Was he crazy?! Anhao swallowed her anger and said, ¡°What if something happens to me?!¡±¡± ¡°The person they want to deal with isn¡¯t you. As long as you don¡¯t drink recklessly, you¡¯ll be fine. But if you leave today, something will happen to me.¡± Zuo Hancheng said this before he held her hand and led her inside resolutely. Anhao still didn¡¯t understand, but he led her into the elevator. What did he mean by nothing would happen as long as she didn¡¯t drink anything, but he would be in trouble if she left? What could happen to a man like him? Even if something happened to him, what use was she here? He couldn¡¯t possibly expect a woman like her to be his bodyguard, could he? Although she knew a little taekwondo, it was not like the president of Shengling Group could not afford better bodyguards. So what was she trying to Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng into the luxurious private room on the top floor of the Deways Hotel. The dishes on the table were of excellent quality, and the drinks and tea were also of exceptional quality. The three people who had specially invited Zuo Hancheng here were obviously celebrities, and their status should be on par with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. However, there must be a reason or purpose for the three of them to specially invite Zuo Hancheng for a drink. However, Zuo Hancheng could not refuse this reason, so he admitted that this was a trap. When Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng in, the people in the private room must have known Zuo Hancheng. They all came forward to greet him politely and warmly. They came forward to shake hands and make small talk. However, when they saw Gu Anhao walking in with him, they were all secretly surprised. They thought that Zuo Hancheng would bring his capable assistant or someone from the company. They did not expect to bring such a young lady. Although Anhao wasn¡¯t wearing her school uniform and was wearing a casual suit, she looked like a girl in her twenties. However, she was carrying a canvas bag in her hand. One look and one could tell that she was still a student, or perhaps a fresh graduate. She looked very innocent. No one had expected that someone of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s status would bring such a young girl to attend such a social gathering. However, they were only surprised for a moment before continuing with the hustle and bustle and the bond. After all, President Zuo was tired of playing with sexy girls. It was not strange for him to occasionally want to change his taste. President Lin of the Northern Financial Chamber of Commerce asked about the relationship between Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and looked at Anhao meaningfully. Anhao received his gaze, but she did not know what he meant. This was because she thought about how she didn¡¯t know what to do to help him. He had just said that she could only help him if she stayed. How could she help him? Her mind had been entangled with this knot and she had no time to care about his gaze. Zuo Hancheng remained calm and collected even though he did not receive a ¡®loving¡¯ look from her. He held her hand and said with a smile,¡¯¡±¡®Anhao is still a student, so she¡¯s not used to this kind of occasion, so I¡¯ll skip the drinks for her tonight. ¡± Although Zuo Hancheng had said that Anhao was still a student, everyone had seen him holding the young lady¡¯s hand in public. They understood what he meant and did not make things difficult for her. Anhao didn¡¯t understand what was going on, so she didn¡¯t say much to avoid trouble. In any case, when he didn¡¯t understand the situation, he would say less and make fewer mistakes. Even if he didn¡¯t say anything when he should, he wouldn¡¯t make too many mistakes. Therefore, he only listened to their conversation and what they were talking about. After listening for more than an hour, he roughly understood something. It was none other than Chairman Han of E & M Group, Chairman of the North Financial Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman Xu of Hengtian Company who had their eyes on a piece of land in City A that was more than 500,000 square meters. However, that place was controlled by Shengling Group and the Land Bureau of City A. The Land Bureau was easy to deal with, but Shengling Group was not. Not to mention how good a piece of meat that place was and how many people wanted to get it, just that the land would be converted from a municipal construction to a private construction in the future. Such a large piece of land would be multiplied by dozens of times. If Shengling Group was to monopolize it, they would not be able to stand it. But now, the three of them wanted to share this piece of meat, but they had no idea where to start. Even if everyone knew it, they were all quite famous and influential people in the industry. They couldn¡¯t compete openly even if they wanted to. Therefore, this banquet was held. They tried to persuade them nicely and find all kinds of reasons to divert the topic. The current situation was that the three of them were working together to test Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intentions, but Zuo Hancheng had not revealed a single drop of water, so no one knew what he meant. This was the so-called secret battle in the business world, a contest between shrewdness and shrewdness. The three big shots in the industry tried to put pressure on Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng indeed enjoyed a high status and reputation in the industry, but because he used to be based in the United States and only returned to China five years ago, the three of them saw his only weakness and began to put pressure on him. It was also because of this that Zuo Hancheng had no choice but to participate in this game even though he knew that tonight was not a simple one. In China, some unspoken rules were indeed unavoidable. Although Anhao was young, she had experienced many hardships. She knew that no matter how high a person stood, they would still have their own helplessness and helplessness. However, she admired Zuo Hancheng for being able to talk and laugh in the face of the three old foxes ¡®probing. He did not look unhappy at all, and it was impossible to tell whether he agreed or refused. He was playing Tai Chi, and his various roundabout evasive techniques were quite stable. An Hao could not help but praise him in her heart. This made the three of them anxious! She felt as if she had experienced the ups and downs of life in the past hour while sitting at the table and listening to their conversation. She even suspected that Zuo Hancheng had asked her to follow him here just to let her learn what life was like and what it meant to kill without bloodshed in the business world.. Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: The Wine Fragrance Between His Lips and Teeth Chapter 69: The Wine Fragrance Between His Lips and Teeth Translator: 549690339 Until the end of the meal, Anhao thought that it was over for the day, but in the end, it was all over&. Director Han from M was full of enthusiasm. He said that there was a new nightclub next to the hotel with a good environment and many entertainment facilities. He wanted to go and have a drink together. During the meal, although Zuo Hancheng had drunk some wine, he did not drink much. He only took a few bites of the food in front of him with his chopsticks. Just as Chairman Han requested to go to the nightclub, Anhao suddenly saw a faint sneer on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips. She was surprised and looked at him carefully again, only to find that his eyes were full of smiles. There was no longer a sneer. Could it be that she had seen wrongly just now? After entering the nightclub, Director Han called the manager over and booked a luxurious VIP room. She ordered a lot of expensive drinks. Anhao felt her heart ache when she heard the names of the drinks. As the saying goes, one becomes familiar with one¡¯s own business. The price of the wine they ordered tonight was enough to buy a 100-square-meter house in Beijing¡¯s Second Ring Business District! As the mayor¡¯s daughter who was not favored, she finally understood why politics and business would never be separated. In politics, people had sovereignty, while in business, people controlled money. Even if a person like Gu Tianming was the mayor, if he did not rely on these business tycoons who were as rich as a country, where could he get any benefits? When all kinds of expensive wines were placed on the table, Anhao sat obediently beside Zuo Hancheng. She counted the number of wines and calculated how much money the nightclub would make tonight. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting beside her, pulled her into his embrace. She lifted her head abruptly and almost bumped into his chin. When she froze, their lips were inches apart. She could even smell the faint scent of alcohol on his lips. Before she could push him away, he had already pressed his lips against hers and said hoarsely, ¡°Tonight, sit here and don¡¯t leave.¡± While Anhao was stunned, she suddenly looked up and saw the few people who brought the wine in secretly giving Chairman Han a look. She immediately understood. Tonight, she was by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and was his shield. Regardless of whether Director Han would resort to any despicable means in the end, as long as she was effective as a shield, nothing would happen to Zuo Hancheng. And the accident he was referring to¡­ It should be¡­ Those bars. Anhao looked at the uncapped bottles of wine on the crystal coffee table. She did not say much and just sat quietly beside Zuo Hancheng. Her eyes told him that she would not leave. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. Countless gazes in the private room were now fixed on the two of them. Under the dim light, Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were burning. It hasn¡¯t been taken down yet. Medicine? Why did his gaze change? Anhao stared at him in a daze until Zuo Hancheng suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. She froze and looked at him in confusion, asking softly,¡±¡±ls this the beginning of the performance?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled but did not say anything. He looked at her meaningfully and kissed her on the lips. Anhao didn¡¯t resist because she didn¡¯t know what was going on. She just obediently let him kiss her. It was only when the people around him had already gotten high and were making a lot of noise that he smiled and patted her shoulder to comfort her. He said in a hoarse voice,¡±Anhao, it¡¯s been hard on you at such an occasion.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a shield. It¡¯s fine.¡± Now that Anhao knew the reason why he had asked her to stay tonight, she was no longer as scared as before. She grinned generously. When the others turned to look at them, she suddenly took the initiative to kiss Zuo Hancheng on the cheek. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, she smiled brightly. ¡°That¡¯s how it¡¯s done, isn¡¯t it?¡± she asked. Zuo Hancheng smiled and did not answer her. He only patted her back gently as if he was in a good mood. However, Anhao still couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°Actually, I think you should find an actress with especially good acting skills. She should be better than me. You really dare to gamble. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I won¡¯t cooperate and screw up your acting in the end?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the only wife. The others are useless.¡± After saying this, he let go of her and turned around to talk to the few Old Dong who were walking over. Anhao was stunned. She was his only wife? She looked at him in a daze. At the same time, she suddenly noticed that a few young beauties had entered the private room. A few of the beautiful ladies noticed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intimate actions when he was hugging Anhao, so they looked at her with jealousy. When Anhao turned to look at them, they rolled their eyes at her and turned to hug Old Dong, who was beside them, and rubbed themselves against them with a smile. At this moment, Anhao felt that it was not a bad thing for her to have been in a bar for a while. At least, he was able to adapt to this kind of situation. He wouldn¡¯t be so stupid as to be frightened. Therefore, he calmly ate a few grapes from the fruit plate on the table and ignored everything around him. Chairman Han and the others had already raised their glasses and started to persuade Zuo Hancheng to drink. Anhao sat at the side and watched Zuo Hancheng take the wine glass. It was as if he did not know what was in the wine. He only smiled and clinked glasses with them. It was as if he did not care about what they were talking about. It was as if he was really ignorant and just wanted to participate in the game they had set up. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was very supportive of the wine, Chairman Han was very satisfied. He secretly turned around and gave the people behind him a look. Anhao watched from the side. Although she knew Zuo Hancheng¡¯s situation and knew that he was more clear-headed than anyone else, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Putting aside the fact that there would be no problems with this way of drinking, just the alcohol, beer, white wine, and all kinds of alcohol were all mixed together. Whose stomach could withstand it? Moreover, the three of them had obviously teamed up on purpose so that Zuo Hancheng could not reject them. That was why they had deliberately set up such a trap. Anhao sat quietly next to Zuo Hancheng. Although she was clear in her heart, she still looked confused and occasionally ate some fruits. Suddenly, a beautiful woman came over with a glass of fruit juice and sat beside her. She held Anhao¡¯s arm intimately and said, ¡°Sister, why don¡¯t you drink anything after sitting here? Don¡¯t you know how to drink? Here¡¯s a glass of juice for you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Anhao took the juice with a smile, but she didn¡¯t drink it. After putting the juice on the coffee table, she picked up the melon seeds on the small plate and started eating. Seeing that she didn¡¯t drink the juice, the beauty smiled and pushed her arm, asking mysteriously, ¡°Hey, little girl, what¡¯s your relationship with President Zuo? Why did President Zuo bring you here?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t the relationship obvious?¡± Although Anhao looked like a student, her answer was not ambiguous. When she raised her eyes to answer, she smiled at the beauty..¡± Sister, when did you get your breasts done? Why did it look so obvious?¡± Chapter 70 - Chapter 70: Who Said I Won’t Mind Chapter 70: Who Said I Won¡¯t Mind Translator: 549690339 The beauty was stunned and her face turned green with anger. However, she remembered her mission and held back her anger as she grabbed her arm and picked up the glass of juice on the table. ¡°Aiya, you can even see through this. Don¡¯t tell these bosses. This is the real deal!¡± As she spoke, the beauty brought the juice to her mouth. ¡°Good sister, you¡¯ve been sitting here for half a day. Have some juice.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty. I¡¯ll drink it later.¡± Anhao took the cup again and placed it on the coffee table. Seeing that this little girl was so difficult to deal with despite her young and innocent appearance, the beautiful woman who had volunteered to come over stood up and left helplessly. Anhao glanced at the juice on the table and sneered. After drugging Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wine, they even drugged his juice so that she could sleep and drove her away. These people were really scheming. He did not even think about who Zuo Hancheng was. Since Zuo Hancheng dared to not bring his secretary and assistant but brought Gu Anhao along, he must have his reasons. His reason was simple. She, Gu Anbi, knew more about these things than they did. How could she be fooled? Unless she was drunk and her mind was not clear, if she wanted to¡­Medicine was definitely harder than ascending to the heavens. The beautiful woman walked to Director Xu and whispered a few words to him. Director Xu turned around and glanced at Anhao. He waved his hand to signal the beautiful woman to leave first. Then, he said a few words to the person beside him. Immediately after, two more beauties walked towards Anhao. Anhao ate her melon seeds calmly. From time to time, she would look around with an innocent smile on her face. Come on, come on, I won¡¯t refuse anyone. The two beauties walked over and tried to pull Anhao up. ¡°Sister, we¡¯ll take you to a fun place. There¡¯s a place behind the nightclub that¡¯s suitable for us girls to play together.¡± Anhao continued to smile and gently pushed their hands away.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t. I came with President Zuo. I can¡¯t leave just like that.¡± President Zuo won¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°Who says I won¡¯t mind?¡± Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng, who was not far away, sat back down. He reached out his long arm and wrapped it around Anhao¡¯s shoulder. He kissed her cheek affectionately and said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±Be good and don¡¯t run around, okay?¡± Anhao blushed and nodded with a smile. She looked up and said,¡±¡±See, President Zuo won¡¯t let me go!¡± The two beauties sat beside her and chatted with her non-stop. Finally, they picked up the glass of juice on the table. After Anhao rejected them a few more times, they suddenly handed her a glass of wine that was the same as Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. ¡°I don¡¯t drink,¡± Anhao shook her head. She was really a stubborn and difficult girl. At first, everyone thought that Zuo Hancheng was not on guard against them, which was why he did not bring anyone from the company and only brought such an innocent and harmless little girl. Only now did he realize that this simple-looking little girl was just a ploy to create the illusion that Zuo Hancheng was unprepared. In the end, the most difficult person to deal with was actually this little girl. Since Anhao could not be taken away, Chairman Han, Chairman Xu, and the president simply ignored her and kept pouring wine into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth. Although Zuo Hancheng did not reject everyone, and of course, he had his own reasons to reject the wine, there was always one glass out of three that he had to drink. In the end, even Anhao did not know how much he had drunk. In the end, Zuo Hancheng leaned against the back of the sofa. Two beautiful women surrounded him and saw that he was almost drunk. They took the initiative to lean on him. Their fingers hooked onto his clothes and they whispered something into his ear. The other Old Dong took the opportunity to give everyone a look.¡±lt¡¯s almost time for today. President Zuo is really nice. Everyone has a good time today. Little Zhang, send Miss Gu back to her place.¡± The chauffeur that Chairman Han had called over walked over and was about to take Anhao away, but Anhao did not leave. She calmly finished the piece of watermelon in her hand and stood up to say, have to take President Zuo with me. How can I leave by myself?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, can¡¯t you see that President Zuo is already so drunk? How can a little girl like you send him back?¡± ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re all grown men. Nothing will happen. We¡¯ll just book a room at the hotel next door for President Zuo to rest.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m used to taking care of President Zuo. It¡¯s not the first time he drank too much in front of me. I can send him back. Anyway, his car is at the entrance of Deways Hotel. It¡¯s not far from here. I know how to drive, and I haven¡¯t drunk anything. I can definitely send him back.¡± Anhao walked over to Zuo Hancheng, who was really unconscious, without any explanation. She reached out and tugged at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm, who was entangled by the two beauties, and urged, ¡°President Zuo, get up quickly. Let¡¯s go back!¡± Seeing that he did not react, Anhao pinched his arm hard while pulling him. Zuo Hancheng frowned and opened his eyes to look at her with difficulty. Anhao glared at him.¡± ¡°Miss Gu, you¡¯re President Zuo¡¯s ¡®younger younger sister¡¯, right? Why are you so insensible?¡± Director Han¡¯s secretary suddenly came over and pulled her away. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that President Zuo is interested in those two beauties? Let me tell you, you¡¯re still young and don¡¯t know the fun of men seeking pleasure when they¡¯re socializing outside. Don¡¯t spoil President Zuo¡¯s mood. We¡¯ll ask Xiao Zhang to send you back. President Zuo will return to the company tomorrow when he sobers up. Don¡¯t worry¡­¡± Anhao did not say anything. Zuo Hancheng was really drunk now, and he was really at ease to leave himself with her. Since things had already come to this, she could not leave on her own. She decided to stop smiling and not stand on ceremony. She shook off the secretary¡¯s hand and walked back to the room, pulling the two women away from Zuo Hancheng. She used her strength to pull Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tall body up and put one of his arms around her shoulder. Zuo Hancheng staggered. When he opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was her, he immediately placed his entire weight on top of her. Anhao almost lost her grip and cursed in her heart. When she looked up, she saw that Chairman Han, Chairman Xu, and the president¡¯s expressions had turned ugly. ¡°Young lady, we advise you not to get in the way. We¡¯ve already persuaded you nicely. President Zuo will definitely be fine with us tonight. He can return to the company tomorrow when he sobers up.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother about this man¡¯s pleasure. Hurry up and leave..¡± Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Truly Not Simple Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Truly Not Simple Translator: 549690339 ¡°I don¡¯t know where President Zuo found this little lover, Miss Gu. Why don¡¯t you take a look at the people here? Are they people you can resist? If you don¡¯t want to be ruined here at such a young age, we advise you to mind your own business and let go of Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°You mean President Zuo has to stay here today?¡± Anhao was not afraid of them at all. She looked around coldly and steadied her body at the same time to help Zuo Hancheng up so that he would not fall down while leaning on her shoulder. ¡°What ability do you think you have to take him away?¡±Chairman Han¡¯s smile had already disappeared. It was just a young girl. He didn¡¯t think that this little girl could hinder them in any way. The trump card that he had already prepared was to send the people he had arranged to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bed. When he called some reporters over tomorrow to make a scene, he did not believe that Zuo Hancheng would not compromise and sign the agreement under the threat of public opinion and the media. It was truly wishful thinking for such a young lady to want to stop their plan. Anhao wasn¡¯t annoyed. She just smiled and looked at Chairman Han.¡±l don¡¯t have the ability, but there¡¯s something that can let me take him away openly! No matter if you are ghosts or gods, you can¡¯t stop me!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Anhao supported Zuo Hancheng who was leaning on her shoulder with one hand and rummaged through her canvas bag with the other. She took out a marriage certificate from the bottom of her bag. Then, in front of everyone, he opened her and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s marriage certificate and held it up in front of them. ¡°Look carefully. I am Zuo Hancheng¡¯s legal wife. Whether he can come out and have fun, he has to ask for my permission!¡± The room instantly fell silent. This marriage certificate was not fake at first glance. All the seals and words on it could not be forged. For a moment, everyone was stunned and looked at the young girl in surprise. When Anhao put away the marriage certificate, she did not notice that Zuo Hancheng, who had been leaning on her shoulder and burying his face in the crook of her neck, had a faint smile on his face. She looked at everyone coldly and said, ¡°Can I take my husband away now? The room was silent. When Anhao helped Zuo Hancheng out of the room, everyone in the room stared at the door with a stunned expression. Then, she looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was being supported by Gu Anhao¡¯s petite figure as they left. Although his footsteps were unsteady, he did not fall.. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was not really drunk because he had messaged him! Director Xu suddenly smashed a cup and said angrily, ¡°F * ck, I was actually fooled by Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°President Zuo¡¯s move is too ruthless¡­¡± ¡°A person like Zuo Hancheng..As expected, he¡¯s not a good person. He dared to uproot Shengling¡¯s business from the Americans and come back to China to make a name for himself. Now it seems that this kid is really not simple¡­¡± Anhao had just helped Zuo Hancheng out of the room when Chairman Han and Chairman Lin sent their secretaries to stop her. ¡± Miss Gu, you might have misunderstood what happened tonight. We hope that President Zuo will stay. For big shots like them who are floating in the business world, it¡¯s usually a good time to talk about cooperation after drinking. Moreover, President Zuo¡¯s alcohol tolerance is so good that he will probably wake up in less than an hour. If he drinks some hangover tea, he will be fine today¡­¡± After being stopped by the secretaries, Anhao was already struggling to support Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng was more than 1.85 meters tall. She felt that she was almost out of breath as she supported him and was half-pressed down by him. Then, she was stopped by them. She immediately raised her head and glared at them angrily. ¡°Who told you that it¡¯s a good time to talk about cooperation after drinking? Have you ever seen a really rational and conscious boss who would sign an agreement with someone casually when he was drunk?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, you¡¯re still young. You don¡¯t understand these things at the table¡­¡± ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t understand. I only understand that Zuo Hancheng is my husband. I¡¯m standing on his side as his wife because I don¡¯t want him to stay here any longer. I want to bring my husband home. What reason do you have to stop ¡°Miss Gu, don¡¯t be so stubborn. Our chairman just wants to discuss a collaboration with Mr. Zuo. Don¡¯t let Mr. Zuo leave today. Leave the matter of going to the hotel to rest to us¡­¡± As the two secretaries spoke, they reached out to support Zuo Hancheng, but Anhao raised her hand and pushed them away.¡±¡±Go away! Don¡¯t touch him! My husband is so drunk. I¡¯m going to take him home. If you dare to stop me again, I¡¯ll call the police!¡± ¡°Miss Gu, you.. ¡°I¡¯ll say it one last time! I¡¯m Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife, and I won¡¯t allow my husband to spend the night outside after getting drunk. I want him to go home, and you dare to stop me?!¡± The two secretaries retreated to the side speechlessly. Their mouths moved, obviously wanting to fight for something, but they did not expect this young lady to be so sharp-tongued. She did not leave any room for negotiation. Moreover, she was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. She was the most difficult person to deal with in the social circle. Even if she was alone now, if they wanted to use force, Gu Anhao would not be able to do anything. Even if they called the police, they would not dare to interfere. But this was Zuo Hancheng! If this matter really caused trouble, with his legal wife here, Zuo Hancheng was not someone to be trifled with. In the end, something went wrong and the matter was not done. Moreover, they had offended Zuo Hancheng for no reason. That was not the outcome that their superiors wanted. Therefore, after much consideration, the two secretaries did not reach out to stop her in the end. Anhao rolled her eyes at them and retracted her hand to carefully support the man who had been completely pressing his weight on her shoulder. She muttered unhappily,¡± ¡°So heavy! Why are you so tall? It¡¯s a waste of air and food!¡± As she mumbled to herself, she lowered her head and dragged Zuo Hancheng out of the nightclub. When she reached the door, she felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body temperature was getting more and more abnormal. His temperature was getting higher and higher, and he seemed to be showing signs of waking up. He, the great Zuo Hancheng, was really going to lose it on the streets because he was drugged. If it was love, then it would be bad! She couldn¡¯t even afford to lose this person! So Gu Anhao looked around. After all, this was the closest to Deways Hotel. The car from Shengling Group was also in the parking lot nearby. In the end, Gu Anhao decided to send him to the hotel first. She supported him as they walked towards the hotel. The 300-meter distance was more difficult than three kilometers. When she finally helped him to the place, the hotel lobby staff saw that it was President Zuo who she helped in and quickly went forward to help her. However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his arms and wrapped them around her waist. He even Dressed his head against her neck. as if the drug had taken effect and he was determined not to let anyone touch him.. Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: She Is the Antidote (1) Chapter 72: She Is the Antidote (1) Translator: 549690339 F * ck! Anhao cursed in her heart. You were drugged. Although I helped you, I¡¯m not here to be your antidote! Anhao seemed to have suddenly understood what Zuo Hancheng meant by what he said earlier. He couldn¡¯t really be planning to take her out at the last moment, could he? At the thought of this, she became furious and pinched his chest. Zuo Hancheng frowned and opened his eyes slightly to look at her. A warm breath brushed against her ear as she said in a hoarse voice,¡± ¡°Why did you pinch me?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t passed out yet?¡± Anhao glared at him. However, he was now almost clinging to her body. The surrounding staff members were too embarrassed to reach out to help him up and had already retreated to the back. She had no choice but to continue supporting his 1.8 -meter-tall body and walk to the front desk with difficulty. Because Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was like a pass to all the luxurious places in A City, there was no need to take out his ID card. However, Anhao did not have much money or a card on her. She was awkwardly thinking about what to do. In the end, she simply raised her hand and touched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body. In the end, Zuo Hancheng whispered in her ear,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch¡­You want to kill Anhao¡¯s hands trembled when she heard his voice, which sounded as if he was on the verge of collapse from the torture of the drug. She looked up at him, then turned to the receptionist. ¡°That¡­ Book a room for me and put all the fees under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name. Can I pay when he sobers up tomorrow?¡± The front desk staff¡¯s mouth twitched, and she tried to maintain a professional smile.¡± Deways Hotel already has a portion of Shengling Group¡¯s shares. How could we dare to accept President Zuo¡¯s money? This is the room card. Here¡­¡± Anhao took the room card speechlessly. If she had known it would be so easy, she wouldn¡¯t have searched for his wallet. Thinking about how he seemed to be enjoying himself when she was looking for her wallet, the corners of her mouth twitched. She could not care less about the ambiguous gazes of the staff and the receptionist. She could only silently help her enemy, Zuo Hancheng, into the elevator. In the elevator, Anhao held onto the scalding Zuo Hancheng as she recalled the various situations she had encountered in the bar. It seemed that there was no medicine in the pharmacy that could solve the problem if the drug was taken. It was either to have sex all night after drinking, or to send the person to the hospital and let the doctor deal with him. However, neither of these two methods would work. Zuo Hancheng would never go to the hospital in such a situation. No man would go to such a self-destructive thing. However, she would never let herself be the antidote for him! What should he do? When they stepped out of the elevator, Zuo Hancheng had already bent down and kissed her on the neck impatiently. Anhao quickly avoided him and pushed him away while supporting him. She gritted her teeth and said,¡¯¡±¡®Endure! Don¡¯t kiss me!¡± She pushed her hand against his chest and Zuo Hancheng groaned. However, he knew that they were in the lobby of the hotel and managed to maintain his rationality. Anhao had already started to think about protecting herself. She took the room card and opened the door. The first thing she did after entering the room was to push Zuo Hancheng to the sofa closest to the door. She didn¡¯t care what happened after he fell on the sofa and said hurriedly,¡± You lie down first, you ate too much fruit at night, please let me pee first! As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly flashed into the bathroom and slammed the door behind her before locking it from the inside. After making sure that she was safe, she took out her phone and called the bar owner. ¡°Hey, boss, are there any beautiful girls who can charge you for free at this hour? I want beautiful ones, skilled ones, uh¡­ It would be best if her physical fitness was better when she was doing it with a man, and her endurance was higher!¡± ¡°Because¡­There¡¯s someone here¡­ She was drugged¡­l need to find someone to solve it¡­¡± ¡°Yes¡­ The price was negotiable! Boss, just arrange for them to come over! As soon as possible, at the Deways Hotel! Well¡­ Room 1520. Yes, yes. Just call me when she comes. You have to get someone to come as soon as possible. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid someone will die here¡­¡± In the end, Gu Anhao hung up the phone, making sure that her arrangement was not wrong. When Zuo Hancheng woke up tomorrow, he would definitely be grateful to her for saving his life! It was better than him holding it in until he self-destructed and died, or never getting up again! She looked at herself in the mirror and took a few deep breaths. She turned around and walked to the bathroom door. She listened outside through the door, but there seemed to be no movement. Zuo Hancheng was not just drunk. The wine had been drugged. He should not have fallen asleep so quickly. He should be tired and need to take a short nap. This was for the best. It would save her from being on tenterhooks! Anhao carefully opened the bathroom door. She had pushed Zuo Hancheng down when she came in just now, so she did not have time to turn on the lights. She walked out of the bathroom and was about to walk to the door to turn on the lights in the dim room. However, just as she walked out of the bathroom, a black shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and her body was forced against the wall by a sudden weight. He had already lost control of his strength, so he hit her hard and hard, causing the back of her head to hurt. Anhao cursed in a low voice. Just as he was about to kiss her, she gritted her teeth and cursed,¡±¡±He killed me! Zuo Hancheng, are you trying to kill me?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly, his unusually hot breath brushing past her sensitive ears.¡±¡±Anhao, don¡¯t swear¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m already so drunk, and you still care if I swear or not?¡±Ann rolled her eyes in anger, but she couldn¡¯t struggle in his arms.¡±Zuo Hancheng, let me go first¡­¡± Although his body always smelled clean and pleasant, he had been forced to drink too much tonight. No matter how pure the smell of wine was, when a pile of wine mixed together, it became a strong and pungent smell! Anhao hadn¡¯t touched a drop of alcohol today, so she was really uncomfortable now. She raised her hand and pushed him away.¡±Go away first¡­¡¯ She was disturbed by the hot breath beside her ear. She pushed him hard for a long time, but he still stuck close to her and did not move. ¡°Zuo Hancheng! Even if you¡¯re in heat, you have to look at your partner clearly! You retreat first¡­Wu¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. Zuo Hancheng did not give her any room to dodge and kissed her heavily. It was even different from the shallow kiss that seemed to be passionate in the private room. He directly went straight into her lips and swallowed her tongue. ¡°You¡­ Oh¡­¡± She raised her hand and hammered his shoulder twice. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­Oh¡­¡¯ The man¡¯s unique breath and the strong smell of alcohol rushed into her nose and mouth, making her head feel a little swollen.. Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: She Is the Antidote (2) Chapter 73: She Is the Antidote (2) Translator: 549690339 She tried to push his face away and arched her back to avoid his hand, but Zuo Hancheng hugged her even tighter. It was only when he moved his lips to her ear that she finally had the time to curse him.¡±Zuo Hancheng! Don¡¯t tell me you planned to let me be the antidote for you tonight from the beginning!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but he used his increasingly determined actions to tell her,¡± Yes! Anhao wanted to cry but had no tears! This was the first time in her life that she, Gu Anhao, had been played like an innocent little white rabbit! She was actually so innocent and scheming to believe him. In the end, he had already done it beforehand and took advantage of this opportunity to skin her alive! The night was dark. In the dark room, Gu Anhao weakly placed her hands between the two of them, avoiding his kiss on her shoulder. She lowered her head, wanting to speak. However, Zuo Hancheng straightened up in that instant and once again held her firmly in his arms. No matter how dark the night was, it could not hide from his gaze. He stared at her and asked in a low voice,¡± ¡°Who did you call inside just now?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched.¡± I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable after drinking too much alcohol and being drugged too heavily. So, I wanted to ask a friend to call a woman over to help you resolve it.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I didn¡¯t wrong you at all when I said that you¡¯re a weirdo!¡± The man¡¯s hoarse voice was cold as it echoed around her neck. Gu Anhao knew that her actions were a little disrespectful to him, but she didn¡¯t want to sacrifice herself, and she didn¡¯t want to make him feel too uncomfortable, so she could only use this kind of compromise! She held it in and shrunk her neck.¡± Why don¡¯t we just go to the hospital? Although I don¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license, I really know how to drive. I¡¯ll send you to the hospital and let the doctor help you.. However, before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already lowered his head and leaned towards her neck. Her raised hand was pulled down by him, and her raised leg was also pressed down by him. She was completely locked in his arms. Any attempt to escape would be instantly rejected, and there was no way to retreat. ¡°Let go¡­ Oh¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know how he had pushed her onto the bed. She was clearly pushed against the wall just now. Yi Zeyang¡¯s words kept echoing in her ears. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s favorite woman was Rong Xue! She did not know who Rong Xue was, but she knew clearly that the marriage between Zuo Hancheng and her was only in name. The difference in status was too great. They would break up sooner or later. There would be no result! She heard his low voice close to her ear.¡±Anhao¡­Help me¡­¡± Anhao was about to cry! She couldn¡¯t even save herself now, so how could she help him? It was obvious that he wanted to eat her up! But no, no! Anhao swallowed her saliva in a dilemma. Suddenly, she had a bold idea. She su ddenly raised her hand and pushed his chest. She blushed and said, ¡°If you¡¯re to o uncomfortable, I¡­ The man on top of her stiffened for a moment, and the air suddenly stopped. Anhao¡¯s entire face flushed red when she said this. If it was not for the fact that the room was so dark that they could only see each other¡¯s faces through the light in the bathroom and the moonlight outside the window, Zuo Hancheng would have seen that her face was as red as a cooked prawn! Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not expect this either. He froze on her body for a long time and endured it for a long time before he said in a low voice,¡±You can?¡± ¡°No¡­But he could learn¡­Chunchun and the others secretly watched those anime in the dormitory. I¡¯ve also watched some¡­¡± She looked away in embarrassment and said awkwardly,¡± ¡°Probably¡­I should be able to learn about 60 ¨C 70% of it¡­¡± Please, please, she had already compromised so much! She was only here to help him. It was rare for her to be kind. If she was eaten by him just like that, where would the trust between people be? She felt that his seduction and deception would definitely leave an indelible shadow in her life. Definitely! (Discordant content automatically blocked) Zuo Hancheng rolled away from her body and pulled her into his arms. He let her rest on his arm and snuggled up to each other. It was Anhao¡¯s first time doing something like this, so she was really embarrassed and not used to it. Fortunately, even though Zuo Hancheng was drugged, his strong willpower allowed him to maintain his rationality. He had compromised, so she had no choice but to compromise as well. Zuo Hancheng held her tightly in his arms and kissed her ear. She froze in his arms and did not move. He even felt that when he was hugging her, his body became more and more tense, and his arms tightened, almost wanting to crush her. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng grunted and bit her ear lightly. His hoarse voice made her tremble as he whispered,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can escape. Sooner or later¡­¡¯ Anhao was stunned. Sooner or later, what did he mean? Just because of his words, she blushed the entire night¡­ The next day, Anhao only woke up at nine in the morning. This night was too tiring, mentally tiring! Most importantly, his hands were tired! After finally coaxing Zuo Hancheng to sleep, the woman arranged by the bar owner arrived. Although he no longer needed her, he couldn¡¯t let her come over in the middle of the night for nothing. Anhao had no choice but to find some money from his wallet and give it to the woman. After sending her away, Anhao took a quick shower and went to sleep. He had been sleeping until now! It was rare for Zuo Hancheng to sleep so late.. Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: She Is the Antidote (3) Chapter 74: She Is the Antidote (3) Translator: 549690339 He had really drunk too much alcohol yesterday. Even if the drug had passed, the alcohol should be enough for him. She got up to take his clothes and heard his phone vibrating. There were a few missed calls from the company, and it was inconvenient for Anhao to pick them up. She used her own phone to send MO Bai a message to briefly explain the situation. Then, Anhao got up and went out. She endured the soreness in her hands and went straight to the pharmacy. The sunlight outside the window was blinding. The man who was still sleeping on the white bed frowned slightly. She had a headache from the hangover last night, and the images in her mind were a little blurry. A moment later, he slowly opened his pitch-black eyes. The memories of his drunkenness lingered clearly in his mind. When Zuo Hancheng woke up, it was already past ten in the morning. He rubbed his eyebrows and got up to take his phone. Although he was hung-over and had a splitting headache, he still called the company as soon as possible and quickly resolved the few matters that needed his decision-making. When he hung up, he put down his phone and turned to look at the mess on the bed. At this moment, the door opened. Anhao came back with two medicine boxes and a small bag in her other hand. When she entered the room and saw that he was awake, she blushed. Seeing that he was staring at her, she could only raise the thing in her hand. ¡°I went to buy some hangover medicine for you. You drank so much last night, so you¡¯ll definitely have a headache all day.¡± As she spoke, she walked over and showed him the contents of another small bag.¡±l didn¡¯t see any traditional congee shops around here, so I bought some breakfast congee from the nearby McDonald¡¯s. You didn¡¯t eat much last night, and your stomach was full of alcohol. You must be uncomfortable, so it¡¯s better to have some congee.¡± Anhao said as she placed everything on the bedside table. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was still looking at her, she felt awkward again. However, because her hand was sore, she quietly put her hand behind her back and rubbed her other hand. Zuo Hancheng, who had keen observation skills, saw through her little trick at a glance.¡±Why are you putting your hands behind your back?¡± Perhaps it was because he had just woken up or because of last night, his voice was still a little hoarse, but it was so sexy and lazy that it made Anhao¡¯s heart tremble again. She looked at him with a red face and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Take the hangover medicine and drink some porridge.¡± As she spoke, Anhao did not dare to look Zuo Hancheng in the eye anymore. She reached out and opened the disposable round lunch box with the word M on it and handed him the spoon and lunch box. ¡°Here, this is porridge.¡± Zuo Hancheng reached out to take it, but just as Anhao was about to turn around, he suddenly placed the lunchbox back on the bedside table. At the same time, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Anhao didn¡¯t expect him to suddenly pull her and fell back onto the bed without any warning. She even fell directly into his arms. The man had just woken up in the morning, and the faint smell of alcohol and his unique masculine scent assaulted her nose. Anhao¡¯s mind instantly thought of what happened last night, and her face was so red that she could not face anyone. She began to struggle. However, Zuo Hancheng held her down and lifted her hand that she had hidden just now. He held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it left and right. How can I? he asked again. Anhao rolled her eyes and wanted to push him away, but Zuo Hancheng hugged her tightly and refused to let go. He even looked as if he would throw her onto the bed if she dared to move again. After struggling for a while, she finally pulled her hand back from his and said awkwardly,¡±¡±l¡¯m fine! It¡¯s just that my hands are a little sore¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng, who was the instigator, was unusually silent. Anhao did not dare to look at his expression and struggled in his arms again. ¡°Don¡¯t hug me. Hurry up and eat your porridge and medicine. I¡¯m going¡­¡± Before she could break free from his embrace, Zuo Hancheng had already pinned her back to his chest. He lowered his head and saw that there were faint kiss marks on her fair and tender neck under the slightly open collar of her clothes. Even her lips looked a little redder than usual. Zuo Hancheng had no memory of last night. He could even say that he remembered 80% of everything. Seeing that Anhao was trying to break free from his embrace, Zuo Hancheng picked up the hand that she had pulled back with a red face and kissed it. He asked softly, ¡°How do you feel?¡± ¡± How do you feel?¡± Anhao was stunned. She suddenly looked up.¡± What do you mean by how do you feel?¡± What feelings can I have? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m really with you¡­¡± However, when she raised her eyes and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ambiguous and meaningful smile, she suddenly seemed to understand what he meant. Could he be asking¡­She felt something for last night¡¯s hand¡­Inch¡­ How does it feel? Asking such a question in broad daylight, no matter how many times Anhao had flirted with countless male classmates, she had never reached the level of a completely erotic joke. She really couldn¡¯t take it anymore and pulled her hand back forcefully. In the end, she let herself be hugged by him like this and said with a snort, ¡°Don¡¯t look for me next time. Wouldn¡¯t it be easy to find another woman?¡± Her hand was about to break¡­ Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly because she was leaning against his chest. The tight and well-proportioned muscles on his chest trembled slightly as he smiled. This type of person who looked thin and fleshy when dressed and naked really made a woman¡¯s blood vessels surge with anger until she was about to break down. Zuo Hancheng looked at her blushing face, as if she did not know what to do. He continued to smile slowly, his hand gently caressing her. He rubbed her soft hair lovingly and leaned over to kiss her hair. Accompanied by the fragrance of the shampoo on Anhao¡¯s hairline, he said hoarsely, ¡°¡±1 can only look for you for this kind of thing. How can your husband go out and find a woman to solve it? Do you want me to cheat on you that much?¡± Anhao¡¯s heart trembled when she heard that.¡±¡±Both physical and mental cheating are considered cheating! You said that before!¡± ¡°So when have I ever cheated on you mentally?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± She shouldn¡¯t have asked, but she couldn¡¯t help but be curious. Anhao glared at him and asked,¡¯¡±¡®That was the last time I came to Deways Hotel to take photos of you. You were photographed by a bunch of reporters. The woman you walked out with wasn¡¯t the one you cheated on?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± Her?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t tell me you have so many women that you have forgotten that especially beautiful beauty!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything when he heard this. He only smiled, as if he had just realized how soft her short hair was. The soft fragrance was so pleasant that it made people unable to put it down. He raised his hand and rubbed her head again, messing up the hair that had already grown past her ears. Then, he sighed and smiled. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you last time that she¡¯s not my woman?¡± ¡°When did you say¡­?¡± Why did Anhao suddenly feel that she had no impression of him? Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: She Is the Antidote (4) Chapter 75: She Is the Antidote (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng patted her on the back. When he got up, he took the trousers by the bed. Anhao was so frightened that she quickly turned her back to him, but she heard his voice behind her,¡±¡±That¡¯s Wailsa, the granddaughter of a Chinese elder I respect in Los Angeles.¡± Anhao blinked her eyes when she heard that, but she didn¡¯t really care about whether there was an ambiguous relationship between him and this woman named Wailsa. She was only sure of one thing, and that was that the woman was not the Rongxue that Yi Zeyang had mentioned. Zuo Hancheng casually picked up the glass of water on the table and the hangover medicine that she had bought. He took the medicine and drank two mouthfuls of water. He turned around and saw that she was looking down and thinking about something else. His handsome eyebrows moved slightly.¡± After she went to the Maldives for a holiday, she came straight to China to help her grandfather investigate the domestic industry resources. I only picked her up at the airport that day and sent her to the hotel.¡± Anhao remembered that when Wailsa went up to the reporters to take photos, she deliberately leaned closer to Zuo Hancheng, and she was wearing his coat. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°I clearly remember that she was wearing your jacket. Zuo Hancheng put down the glass of water and smiled deeply. He looked back at her.¡±¡±She flew directly from the Maldives to A City. It was summer before she boarded the plane, but it was already late autumn in A City when she got off the plane. She was wearing a long dress and didn¡¯t have a jacket in her suitcase. Or should I give her my coat?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Anyway, if a man lends his coat to another woman, it means that he¡¯s not reliable. He¡¯s a playboy. Don¡¯t try to clear your name! Zuo Hancheng doesn¡¯t explain, takes up her buy, comes, drinks, comes, comes, asks: ¡°Have you eaten outside?¡± ¡°Yeah, I had a bowl of breakfast at McDonald¡¯s.¡±Anhao replied. After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, he looked at the time. It seemed that because it was the weekend, he was not that busy and was not in a hurry to go back to the company. Moreover, he seemed to be in a rare mood to talk to her about life and principles. Just as Anhao was quietly rubbing her still sore hands, Zuo Hancheng watched her movements and his eyes darkened slightly. He said slowly in a clear voice,¡± ¡± In Western countries, men¡¯s gentlemanly behavior is highly respected. For example, a kiss between a man and a woman who have only met once on certain occasions is only a form of etiquette. Sticking close to each other¡¯s faces is only a form of politeness. For unmarried men and women, borrowing a coat is also a very simple concern and grace.¡± Of course, although it doesn¡¯t matter, but if it¡¯s me, the little wife thinks it¡¯s inappropriate, and if it¡¯s me, the jealous words, later let them freeze, that¡¯s it.¡± Anhao was slightly startled. She raised her head and hurriedly explained, ¡°I was just joking. I didn¡¯t mind!¡± Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her. His gaze was a little ambiguous, and Anhao could not see it clearly. The sunlight outside the window shone through his side profile, making his outline look even more handsome. ¡°Isn¡¯t it often said by female nationalists that when a woman is joking, more than 70% of her jokes are sincere, but they are used to modify the awkwardness after the joke.¡± He spoke slowly, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his voice.¡±Even if you, Gu Anhao, are only 10% sincere, as your husband, I should consider your feelings.¡± What he said made so much sense that she was speechless! Anhao was at a loss for words, but she didn¡¯t know how to explain herself. Sincere? How was this possible? She didn¡¯t love him, so it was impossible for her to use such a coquettish method to warn him not to borrow another woman¡¯s coat, but¡­ Why did these words sound so comfortable! Could it be that he wanted to make her happy because she had served him well last night? If that was the case, her sore hands were worth it. As she was immersed in her own consciousness, she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice coming from the direction of the bathroom door.¡±¡±Also, Gu Anhao, don¡¯t think about calling other women to help me solve this problem in the future. Your husband is not a beast that will touch any woman, unless you really want me to have one-night stands with women every night.¡± His words instantly caused Anhao¡¯s heart to be in a mess. But she couldn¡¯t ask. When they first got married, he had only helped her out of the way. After that, the two of them had been living in harmony and did not cross the line. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had clearly treated her as a child who needed to be disciplined, didn¡¯t he? But yesterday, he had insisted on bringing her along when he knew what kind of scheme he would encounter. Was he really planning to be married to her in the end? In the end, he actually said that he did not have any messy women outside. He was so pure that he would rather let her help him with her hands than enjoy himself with the kind of woman she found¡­ Just as she was thinking about it, Zuo Hancheng had already entered the bathroom. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Anhao thought for a moment and suddenly took out the marriage certificate that she had used as her trump card last night. After watching for a while, she suddenly realized that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s astute calculation of everything was really terrifying. Chairman Han, Chairman Xu, and Chairman Lin were three heavyweight figures in the business world. Each of them was in their forties, and the combined age of the three of them was almost 150 years old. In the end, these three old foxes were actually fooled by Zuo Hancheng. Not only did they not get any benefits, but they were also shocked speechless for a long time. Anhao suddenly narrowed her eyes when she thought about the scene last night. Zuo Hancheng was indeed drunk, but was he drunk or not? Was he really drunk? The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Not long after, Zuo Hancheng opened the door in a light gray bathrobe and saw Gu Anhao standing in front of the bathroom door with a puzzled look on her face. She looked like she was ready to punish him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± His lips curved slightly. ¡°Were you drunk last night?¡±Anhao asked unwillingly. Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Instead, he walked out of the bathroom with a smile. He raised the towel in his hand to dry his short black hair and walked to the window with his back facing her. The curtains were opened a little, and it started snowing outside the French windows again, but the room was as warm as spring. Anhao read the answer from his silence. She regretted her naivety last night and felt so frustrated that she wanted to chop him up. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a saint?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked. So many kinds of alcohol mixed together, even if the alcohol tolerance was good, it was not possible to get drunk. However. he was on the verge of being half-drunk.. If he was really drunk until he was unconscious, how could he control the scene?¡± Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: She Is the Antidote (5) Chapter 76: She Is the Antidote (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao probably understood. It was impossible not to get drunk on the occasion yesterday, but if he really passed out completely, it would not do either. Therefore, being half-drunk was the best effect. In addition to her heaven-defying acting skills.. Anhao didn¡¯t bother about it, but she suddenly smiled and said proudly, ¡°Hey, Zuo Hancheng, didn¡¯t you see my acting skills yesterday? If my college entrance examination results are really too average, I think I might as well give up literature and pursue art in the future. I¡¯ll also take the entrance examination for some film academy or art academy and join the entertainment industry. Anyway, now that I have a thigh like you that I can hug, with my heaven-defying acting skills, I can at least be praised as a small star for a year and a half, right?¡± Unexpectedly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression darkened as soon as she finished speaking. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. You don¡¯t want me to join the entertainment industry? After all, you¡¯re the biggest investor in Yixing, one of the top entertainment companies in the country. Isn¡¯t it very easy for me to make a living there¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was cold, and his voice was so cold and determined that she understood what he meant. She wanted to join the entertainment industry and play around. She wanted to be an artiste¡­He said¡­Don¡¯t even think about it¡­ Even though Anhao was just joking, Zuo Hancheng, who was an open-minded person, did not treat her words as a joke. Zuo Hancheng, who had been in a good mood since he woke up in the morning, seemed to be inexplicably angered by her words. Anhao was a wise man who knew how to adapt to the circumstances. She did not say anything more and only pursed her lips.¡±l¡¯m just kidding. I¡¯m not interested in those foul circles. I¡¯m not interested.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if you¡¯re not interested.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression softened a little, but he was still cold and his voice was serious and cold.¡± ¡°Vanity Fair is not a good place.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She turned around and stuck out her tongue. However, she was muttering in her heart, ¡°Yes, yes, yes. If you say that the vanity fair is not a good place, then it is not a good place!¡± Anyway, you¡¯re the person standing at the top of the vanity fair. I don¡¯t dare to refute whatever you say! After muttering in her heart, she turned around without saying a word and wanted to put on her coat and leave. ¡°Wait.¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped her. ¡°What for?¡± Anhao turned around. ¡°Come here.¡± Anhao was stunned. She looked at him, then at the bag she had just picked up. After a moment of hesitation, she walked over. But when she walked to his side, she still hesitated. In the past, she didn¡¯t think much of it. It didn¡¯t matter how much she quarreled with him. Anyway, she really wanted to beat him up, but after last night.. Even though he didn¡¯t forcefully take her, and they didn¡¯t have any actual sexual relations, they were still very close. Anhao didn¡¯t know how to react to this feeling, and she didn¡¯t dare to get too close to him. However, just as she hesitated and stopped in front of him, her waist suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng pulled her into his arms and she leaned into his embrace. She looked up in shock and said,¡±¡±What are you doing? Don¡¯t tell me you still want me to help you because the effects of the medicine last night haven¡¯t worn off yet?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were like a bottomless pit, deep and deep. She only needed to get close to him to take a look, and it was as if she could sink into them. She wanted to look away, but he actually smiled when he patted her head. The two of them were standing so close to each other. The sunlight outside the window shone in, and she could clearly see the clean and charming outline of his face. His tall and straight figure enveloped her under his shadow, and his handsome and deep eyes were filled with a noble and indifferent aura that belonged only to him. Such a man¡­ Was he really her husband? Perhaps it was because they had been too intimate last night, Anhao was a little absent-minded now. She suddenly realized that she was really married and that this noble man was really her husband. She was really Mrs. Zuo. He had admitted that she was Mrs. Zuo in front of those people. ¡± Your performance last night was not bad. What reward do you want?¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng caressed her gently. Soft hair, clear and mellow voice. Anhao thought that he was going to do something, and her eyes lit up when she heard this. Without thinking, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t make me improve my results so much this month, okay? We¡¯ll talk about it next semester¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled, his smile was so beautiful that it could topple a country. Just when Anhao thought that he would agree, he suddenly stopped smiling and spat out two words coldly,¡±¡±No!¡± Inhumane! Anhao secretly cursed him in her heart for a long time before she smiled and said, ¡®¡±¡®Then give me back my bank card¡­l promise I won¡¯t try to take photos of you and sell them to the media again!¡± ¡°Can your words be trusted?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°Who was the one who didn¡¯t forget to take pictures of me while eating hotpot a few days ago?¡± That was only an individual case. He would definitely not shoot it again in the future!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll think about it.¡± Zuo Hancheng pondered for a moment.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes widened.¡± You were the one who took the initiative to offer me a reward, but you rejected the first one and said you would consider the second one!¡± What kind of reward is this?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± I thought you would reject it with a straight face. After all, a superwoman like you, Gu Anhao, who prides herself on being a tough woman, would never ask for a reward from a man like the white lotus you mentioned. Anhao was furious! ¡°Why shouldn¡¯t I? I want it! I want it! I want it!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her breathing stopped. The man in front of her suddenly leaned closer to her lips. His warm breath wrapped around her nose, causing her body to stiffen. ¡°Yes, you want, you want¡­What?¡± At the same time, the man¡¯s hand moved up her waist. Anhao stared at her stiffly.¡± I said I want a reward. You¡­¡± Put your hand down¡­The effects of the drug have already worn off, so it¡¯s not good for you to play hooligan with me like this, right? Let go!¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled warmly.¡¯¡±Gu Anhao, you couldn¡¯t escape when you took out the marriage certificate yesterday and announced that I was your husband in public.¡± She looked up in shock.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled mysteriously and kissed her lips that were slightly open from shock. When she retreated in shock, he raised his hand and held the back of her head firmly. They kissed deeply for a long time. When they finally retreated an inch away from each other, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss was already lingering on her ear. A low and hoarse voice rang in her ears. ¡°Last night, I was afraid that the drug would be too strong and I would lose control and hurt you¡­Next time, don¡¯t think about passing so easily.¡± Anhao was shocked. She raised her hand and pushed his chest. She shouted angrily,¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng! You¡¯re actually interested in a high school student like me! You hooligan!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not retort. He merely chuckled and pulled her aching hand to his lips, kissing it. The moment she blushed, she laughed softly and said,¡±¡±Maybe I didn¡¯t plan to be interested in you in the past, but after last night, I¡¯m very interested in you..¡± Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: She Is the Antidote (6) Chapter 77: She Is the Antidote (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Zuo Hancheng! You hooligan!¡± Anhao¡¯s heart raced as she looked at the turbulent waves hidden beneath the calm water in his eyes. She hurriedly pulled her hand back, pushed him away, and ran out with her bag. Zuo Hancheng was not in a hurry to chase after her. Looking at her flustered back, he laughed and said,¡±¡± What are you doing?¡± When Anhao ran to the door, she didn¡¯t even dare to look back and said indignantly, ¡®¡±¡®1¡¯11 go back and see how the renovation of the rooms on the second floor is going! I¡¯ll definitely live separately from you in the future!¡± ¡°Separating on the first and second floor? Do you need the renovation workers to prepare a door for you on the stairs?¡± Anhao was speechless. She opened the door and ran out with a red face. After she ran into the elevator, Anhao stared at the girl who was blushing on the wall of the elevator mirror. She couldn¡¯t help but raise her hand to cover her chest as if she was agitated. She had used five years to turn herself from a little girl into a hooligan. She had even become so domineering that the entire school was helpless against her. In the end, Zuo Hancheng only spent a month or so, as if he had traveled through mountains and rivers overnight, to find the little girl hidden in the hedgehog armor. She was actually blushing! She was actually blushing! It was really fatal! Anhao raised her hand to cover her face. She was clearly not interested in Zuo Hancheng. Why was she blushing so much after he teased her for a while? This weekend, Anhao deliberately avoided Zuo Hancheng. Even though Qin Feng called her to tutor her, she still applied for a day off. On Sunday, Anhao didn¡¯t go to school. She first went back to Liu Jing Garden to check on the renovation progress. After confirming that they had been rushing for more than a week, they would be completed in two days. She took advantage of the rest of the day to go out and choose the color of the bed sheets and curtains. She was very busy. She did not go to Shengling Group for tutoring until the evening. After she was done with everything, she tabulated the results of the day and ordered a lot of things. They were all soft items such as colors and decorations in the room. Anyway, they were all cash on delivery. She put them all on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s account as if she was taking revenge. And now, she was starting to hate herself for not spending his money seriously when she took the card he gave her. Now that the card was confiscated, she suddenly realized that there were so many places where she needed to spend money! The sky was getting dark. Anhao took the bus back to A High School. When she got off the bus and walked to the entrance of A High School from the bus stop not far away, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. From afar, he saw Yi Zeyang¡¯s car parked in front of A High School. A young and beautiful girl was standing beside the car with him. The girl was hugging his waist coquettishly. Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes were filled with a faint and modest smile. He bent down and kissed the corner of the girl¡¯s mouth in his arms. The girl refused to leave his arms and kept muttering something. Yi Zeyang listened to her patiently. His clean face was full of love and humility for the girl. Even if the girl still refused to let him go when it was time to leave and still wrapped herself around his waist, he did not show any displeasure. Anhao stared blankly for a while before lowering her head to avoid their gazes. She was about to walk into the less eye-catching corner under the tree at the school gate. However, just as she reached the school gate, a voice suddenly came from behind her.¡±Gu Anhao!¡± She stopped abruptly and turned around subconsciously. She saw Han Ru and her friends walking towards her. The person who had stopped her just now was Han Ru. Anhao never had a good impression of Han Ru. She had beaten up the two boys in the bar to save her because she could not bear to see them. However, after that, Han Rut s ungrateful actions made Anhao even more unwilling to be with her. She only turned around to look at her and then looked away indifferently. As she retracted her gaze, she suddenly met Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze. She couldn¡¯t help but take a step back. The moment her eyes met Yi Zeyang¡¯s, she didn¡¯t know if she was seeing things, but at that moment, his hand that was originally on the girl¡¯s shoulder suddenly loosened and then gradually let go. The girl had obviously noticed his subtle change. When she heard the name Gu Anhao ¡°, she also turned to look in the direction of the school gate. Anhao looked at the girl and then at Yi Zeyang. She saw that he was staring at her with a deep gaze. Even if she did not know the person in front of him, she could tell from his clothes. That person should be Yi Zeyang¡¯s fianc¨¦e, the granddaughter of an old general from a certain military region. Anhao¡¯s heart would still ache when she had not seen her before, but now that she had seen her for real, seeing the young girl¡¯s pretty and fair face and her pair of watery eyes, she suddenly didn¡¯t have any unwillingness. The couple in front of them was the perfect match¡­ After staring at the two of them for a few seconds, Anhao smiled politelv at them, then turned around and walked towards the school gate as if she didn¡¯t care. ¡°Gu Anhao, I¡¯m calling you. Didn¡¯t you hear me?¡± Just as Anhao walked into the school gate, Han Ru¡¯s friends suddenly walked over quickly. When Anhao stopped, Han Ru and her friends had already caught up and stood in front of Anhao. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Anhao raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Han Ru, who was wearing a white dress. She could not help but sneer in her heart. It was the weekend. Han Ru, the top student of the school year, must have gone to some prestigious banquet to attend a party. She came back dressed so brightly, which was a stark contrast to Anhao¡¯s simple casual clothes. ¡°Gu Anhao, I haven¡¯t settled the score with you for what happened last time. You¡¯ve been hiding quite far away recently. ¡°Han Ru stood in front of her and rolled her eyes in disdain.¡±¡±Look at you. Why haven¡¯t you been kicked out of the school even now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Gu Anhao. We all feel ashamed to be coexisting with someone like you in A High School!¡± Anhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. She looked at Han Ru, who was obviously the one who was looking for trouble. ¡°Han Ru, back then, you were raped by those two from the Xu family. The hooligan was almost raped on the bar sofa. I helped you during the rape. I didn¡¯t expect our relationship to change in the future. However, after the incident, I didn¡¯t look for you to pursue it. You should be very lucky. I couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention to you when you were spreading rumors about me in school all day. Why? Are you so unwilling to be lonely? A high school tyrant goddess, do you still want to fall out with a little hooligan like me?¡± ¡°Who wants to fall out with you?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, do you think I¡¯m willing to talk to you?¡± Han Ru glanced at her, dismissing her words. I just heard from others that recently, there¡¯s a slacker who has been listening to classes seriously every day. After class, he actually follows the teacher to the office to ask questions. He even seems to be obediently attending evening self-study every day.. Could it be that this slacker wants to make a comeback?¡± Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: This Is A Counterattack (1) Chapter 78: This Is A Counterattack (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°What does it have to do with you whether you want to turn over and be a chaoswoman?¡±Anhao also ignored her, her voice cold and indifferent. ¡°Do you think you can get into university just by working hard? ¡± Let me tell you, the news has already spread throughout the city. No university will be willing to accept you. Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t have to waste your time and life anymore. With your intelligence, it¡¯s better for you to stay in the last place of the school year and not change your position!¡± After Han Ru said that, the girls around her laughed. ¡°That¡¯s right. She has a problem with her IQ can¡¯t keep up with her grades, and still pretends to be a hooligan and a big sister all day long.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, since your brain can only be used as a good-for-nothing and your IQ can¡¯t be improved, don¡¯t make things difficult for yourself. Isn¡¯t it good to be the last in this school year¡¯s results? You¡¯ve always been number one for the past three years! No one can surpass this first place. You¡¯re so amazing!¡± Anhao raised her eyes indifferently.¡±How stupid am I? I don¡¯t think you can talk nonsense in front of me. Get lost and stop being an eyesore.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, aren¡¯t you being too rude? Don¡¯t think that we won¡¯t dare to do anything to you just because your father is the mayor. Your father is the mayor, but he doesn¡¯t care about you at all! I haven¡¯t seen the Gu family in the past three years.¡± ¡°Besides, Han Rut s relative is a general in the military. So what if your father is the mayor?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never mentioned my father before, so don¡¯t mention him in front of me!¡± Anhao hated it when people mentioned the Gu family to her. Once it was mentioned, she would fly into a rage and looked at them expressionlessly.¡±lf there¡¯s nothing else, get lost! Aren¡¯t the three of you top students? Didn¡¯t he rely on his family to back him up? What¡¯s wrong? Do I still need your permission to improve my results?¡± ¡°Aiya, why are you talking like this?¡± ¡± We¡¯re just giving you a kind suggestion. It¡¯s not easy to maintain your last place for three years. You should have maintained it until you graduate from high school. It¡¯ll be a pity if you make an exception just like that¡­¡± ¡°Is that so? I also think it¡¯s a pity.¡± Anhao suddenly smiled and looked at them. Then, she looked at Han Ru, who was being treated like a princess. Seeing her disdain for talking too much nonsense with her, she sneered. ¡°If someone¡¯s final exam results slip to second place in the school year, who knows how many people will laugh their heads off. You have to know that it¡¯s not easy for people like you and me to maintain two positive and negative first places. You¡¯re standing at the peak of first place, and many people are waiting to see your ranking slip. If you really fall to second or third place, it¡¯ll indeed be a pity¡­¡¯ ¡°What are you talking about? How could Han Rut s grades drop? No one in the entire A High School could surpass her. If she were to be second, who would dare to be first? Could it be you? Hahahaha¡­¡± ¡°Nothing is absolute in this world. ¡°Anhao smiled lightly and said in a low voice, ¡®¡±What if¡­ ¡°What if? Are you really daydreaming? Do you really think that you¡¯ll be able to get first place in the final exam after working so hard for a month?¡± ¡°Aiya, your ambition is really not small! The first from the bottom sprinting to the first, do you think this is playing online games to buy equipment? Why did he go up so easily?¡± ¡°I told you, nothing is absolute. Don¡¯t be too proud.¡±Anhao still smiled faintly. She didn¡¯t want to talk to them anymore. Turn around. They were in a stalemate. Spinning around was a waste of time and life. She turned around coldly and was about to leave. ¡°Gu Anhao, who are you telling this to? ¡°Han Ru suddenly spoke. At the same time, when Anhao turned around and was about to leave, she gave a look to her good friends beside her. They immediately stretched out their feet to block Anhao¡¯s feet. Anhao paused and lowered her head to look at the three legs in front of her. She really wanted to break them all with a kick. However, she endured it and turned around to change her path. ¡°Gu Anhao, we¡¯re talking to you. Stop pretending!¡± ¡°Yeah, why are you alone today? Where did the three bullies of A High School ¡°Why aren¡¯t Su Chunchun and Huang Mao with you? What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t the three of you inseparable sisters? Why do I keep seeing you go in and out of school alone recently? Is there something wrong with your character? Did you get kicked out by the two of them? Did you guys break up?¡± ¡°Bullshit!¡± ¡°Do you think everyone is as petty as you?¡± Anhao suddenly turned around. Could they be called good sisters just because they had a few classmates by their side? Good sisters needed to stick together like Siamese twins every day to be considered good sisters? Even if we haven¡¯t been together recently, it doesn¡¯t mean that there¡¯s a problem with our relationship! On the contrary, you, Han Ru, don¡¯t judge others with your petty heart! Take your legs away, don¡¯t force me to beat you up!¡± ¡°Beat someone up? Gu Anhao, stop pretending. Don¡¯t you just know a little taekwondo? You¡¯re the only one here now. Do you dare to attack us?¡± ¡°Yeah, come and fight.¡± A few girls beside Han Ru suddenly reached out and pushed Anhao¡¯s shoulders. ¡°Come on, fight! Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re good at Taekwondo, that you¡¯re really good at dominating the school. We usually have good qualities and can¡¯t be bothered to compare with you idiots. Now that there are three or four of us here, why don¡¯t you fight? Let¡¯s see if you¡¯ll be torn to pieces by us or if you¡¯ll beat us all up! Come on, come on!¡± As he spoke, he kept pushing and hitting Anhao¡¯s shoulders. Anhao endured it again and again. If it was any other time, she would have already made a move. However, after the incident at the police station, the principal had warned her that if she was beaten up again, even if the emperor came, it would be useless and she would have to drop out of school! Gu Tianming had arranged for her to study at A High School because of his pride. If she was expelled, the Gu family would definitely know. She could not afford to lose face, so she could not drop out of school! Seeing that Gu Anhao had become a coward, Han Ru and her friends approached her arrogantly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t Gu Anhao practice before? Do you have to wait until the full moon to use your Taekwondo? Is this a divine technique? What was going No more strength? Or did he forget how to fight? Come on!¡± Anhao¡¯s hands were clenched into fists as she looked at them expressionlessly. Outside the school gate, Yi Zeyang watched as Anhao and the other female students were in a deadlock. Although he did not know what they were talking about, Anhao had her back to the school gate. However, from the change in the situation, it seemed that something was not right. ¡°Wei Ran, you go back first. I¡¯ll go in and take a look at those students. ¡°Yi Zeyang pushed the girl in front of him into another car. Ignoring her question, he turned around and walked straight into the school gate.. Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: This Is A Counterattack (2) Chapter 79: This Is A Counterattack (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡® Gu Anhao, guess what your sister, Gu Shishi, said when I attended a small gathering in the city with my dad today¡­¡± Han Ru¡¯s words suddenly entered Anhao¡¯s ears. Anhao paused and suddenly looked at her. Han Ru laughed and said,¡± I knew it. You¡¯re the mayor¡¯s daughter. How can you give people the feeling of a little beggar from the inside out? You¡¯re indeed not the legitimate daughter of the mayor.¡¯¡±¡® As she spoke, she turned around and told the others with a smile,¡± This Gu Anhao¡¯s mother was actually Mayor Gu¡¯s mistress back then. She¡¯s the illegitimate daughter of a mistress¡­¡± Anhao felt like her scalp was about to explode. She took two deep breaths and said, ¡°¡±Han Ru, don¡¯t talk nonsense if you don¡¯t know the truth!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid that I¡¯ll expose you? You told the school about me going to the bar, and I didn¡¯t even get the Civilization Award this year. Can¡¯t I expose you? Ha, what a joke. What right does a lowly illegitimate daughter like you have to talk to me?¡± ¡°By the way, I heard that back then, your mother was the slut who was the mayor¡¯s mistress. In order to force you into the mayor¡¯s house and make you the mayor¡¯s daughter, your mother went to the Gu family many times to cause trouble. In the end, she committed suicide in your house and threatened Mayor Gu to keep you. Is that true?¡± ¡® Oh my god, Gu Anhao, your identity as the mayor¡¯s daughter was actually exchanged for by your mother¡¯s life. Oh my god¡­¡± Anhao slowly closed her eyes, feeling as if she was ready to punch someone. Just as she was still holding back, Han Ru suddenly raised her hand and gently patted Anhao¡¯s face. Anhao suddenly opened her eyes, but Han Ru smiled.¡±l really didn¡¯t expect you to be the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. If I tell the world about your background, how many people in A High School will not tolerate you? Women nowadays hated mistresses the most. Gu Anhao, just wait to be skinned alive!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Han Ru¡¯s hand that had just patted her face suddenly increased its strength and slapped Anhao¡¯s face. At the same time, she cursed in disgust, ¡°Little San¡¯s daughter! How lowly!¡± The moment the slap landed, Anhao suddenly smiled. Finally, there was no more reason for him to tolerate it! Han Ru was about to retract her hand when Gu Anhao suddenly raised her leg and kicked her in the stomach. Han Ru was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground. Her head even hit a hard rock beside the flower bed in the school. A trace of blood instantly flowed out of her forehead. The girls who bullied Anhao with Han Ru saw this and one of them went to help Han Ru up while the other two turned around to pull Anhao¡¯s hair. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that women grabbing their hair in a fight is the most ignorant behavior?¡±Anhao said disdainfully as she lifted her hand and pulled them down by the collar. When the two girls were so surprised that they wanted to grab her, Anhao pushed them away and continued to walk towards Han Ru who was lying on the ground. When she saw Gu Anhao walking towards her with anger in her eyes, Han Ru was so shocked that she quickly retreated.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, what are you doing? This is a school!¡± ¡°I know it¡¯s the school! I¡¯ll let you see how you die in school today!¡± Anhao¡¯s hands were very fast. She pushed away the girl who was holding Han Ru and bent down to pull Han Ru¡¯s hair. ¡°You guys like to pull your hair when you fight, right? I¡¯ll fulfill your wish!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Han Ru cried out in pain,¡± ¡°It hurts! Let go of me¡­¡± At the same time, Anhao raised her other hand and slapped her hard on the face. ¡°You can¡¯t blame others for courting death! If I, Gu Anhao, don¡¯t cripple you today, I¡¯ll take your surname!¡± ¡°Anhao!¡± Anhao was about to kick Han Ru¡¯s leg again when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. She turned around and saw Yi Zeyang rushing over. He held her wrist tightly and frowned.¡±Anhao! This was a school! Don¡¯t do anything!¡± ¡°Professor Yi!¡± ¡® Professor Yi!!¡± A few girls who had been beaten up staggered over, crying and choking. They pointed at Gu Anhao and said, ¡°Professor Yi, quickly call the principal over. Gu Anhao is going to kill us!¡± Half of Han Rut s face was swollen. She wiped her tears and said,¡¯¡±¡®Professor Yi, please help us¡­ ¡°Shut up!¡± Anhao heard Han Ru¡¯s voice and turned around to glare at her, ignoring Yi Zeyang who was holding her wrist.¡±¡±lf you f * cking say another word, believe it or not, I¡¯ll tear your mouth apart!¡± ¡°Anhao!¡± Yi Zeyang suddenly called out to her coldly. Anhao froze and turned to look at Yi Zeyang, who had a cold expression on his face.¡± ¡°Let go!¡± Yi Zeyang frowned and looked at her seriously.¡± ¡°This is a school. Do you want to cause trouble here?¡± ¡°What do you care?¡± Anhao laughed and wrung her hands hard. ¡°Let go of me!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you go and let you hit someone? Watching you get expelled?¡± Yi Zeyang stared coldly into her eyes.¡±No matter what, you can¡¯t solve it by beating people up. Anhao, have you forgotten what you learned when you were young? What did I tell you?¡± Anhao suddenly laughed out of anger. She used all her strength to shake his nana off. When Yi Zeyang took a step back, she glared at him with red eyes.¡±¡±Yi Zeyang, I am such a person! I, Gu Anhao, am like this now! I¡¯m just a little hooligan who likes to mess around in school and fight everywhere! I¡¯m f * cking not related to you at all! What right do you have to control me!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± ¡°Calm down!¡± Yi Zeyang frowned.¡± Han Ru and the other girls did not know what was going on. Professor Yi was clearly here to stop the fight, but why was he quarreling with Gu An? Anhao looked at him coldly. Suddenly, she realized that the women had helped Han Ru up and were about to leave. Anhao¡¯s eyes turned cold. She turned around and grabbed Han Ru by the collar, dragged her back, and rode her on her as fast as she could before hitting her face. ¡°Anhao! What are you doing!¡± ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± Han Ru cried out helplessly. Anhao used a lot of strength because of her anger, but the girls could not pull her away. Yi Zeyang stepped forward and picked her up. Just as Anhao was struggling in anger, he raised his hand to slap her face to calm her down. However, the moment he raised his hand, Anhao raised her head and glared at him. His hand froze as he suddenly remembered the time he had hit her. He was clearly furious, but he couldn¡¯t do it. < em > Anhao looked at the woman with reddened eyes.¡± Yi Zeyang, we¡¯re clearly not related anymore. What right do you have to care about me?!¡± If I want to fight, I¡¯ll fight. Can you control me? Are you going to hit me? Fight! Fight!¡± Yi Zeyang slowly put down his hand. In the end, he still couldn¡¯t bear to let her go.. He looked at her trembling with anger and sighed,¡±¡±Anhao, why did you do this¡­¡¯ Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: This Is A Counterattack (3) Chapter 80: This Is A Counterattack (3) Translator: 549690339 Yi Zeyang slowly put down his hand. In the end, he still couldn¡¯t bear to let her go. He looked at her trembling with anger and sighed,¡±¡±Anhao, why did you do this¡­¡± ¡°You only remember to ask why now?¡± ¡°Yi Zeyang, why didn¡¯t you ask me why I hit you when you grabbed me just now?¡± Anhao looked at him with a mocking smile. When you wanted to hit me just now, why didn¡¯t you ask me why? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too late to ask now?¡± Yi Zeyang said seriously,¡± I¡¯ve been watching you from outside the school until I felt that the situation here was not right, so I came over. But as soon as I came over, I saw you beating people up in such a brutal way. Anhao, you¡¯re still a student. Do you want to be sued for your life?¡±¡± Of course, Anhao knew how ruthless she was when she hit Han Ru. If she could, she would have used a thousand times more ruthless methods to beat up the Gu family. But what was the use of fighting? Moreover, the entire Gu family was very smart. They would never really force her to the point of losing control. However, Han Ru was so stupid that she had to force Gu Anhao to the point where she could not tolerate it anymore. She asked for it! Even if he was beaten to death, he deserved it! So what if he was involved in a lawsuit? ¡± Yi Zeyang!¡± Gu Anhao laughed coldly as she pushed his hand away.¡± Even if I, Gu Anhao, go to jail, it has nothing to do with you, Yi Zeyang!¡¯¡±¡® ¡°You¡­¡± Yi Zeyang frowned deeply. ¡°What happened? What happened?¡± The school¡¯s security guards had already learned of the situation and ran in this direction. Anhao ignored everyone around her and the pain in Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes. She turned to look at Han Ru, who was trembling on the ground, and said,¡±¡±Han Ru, you¡¯re lucky. Don¡¯t appear in front of me anymore, or I¡¯ll beat you up every time I see you!¡± ¡°Anhao, shut up!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Anhao abruptly turned her head and glared at Yi Zeyang, who was trying to stop her. When he looked at her in shock, she sneered.¡±lncluding you! Don¡¯t appear in front of me!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, Gu Anhao, what do you want me to say about you?¡± The principal looked at Anhao, who was standing in the principal¡¯s office, with a headache. ¡°Why do you have to cause so much trouble for me before graduation next year? Can¡¯t you just let our A High School off? There¡¯s only half a year left before the college entrance examination. Can you let the principal lead a peaceful life in this half a year and not cause a bunch of trouble to annoy Anhao stood numbly in the principal¡¯s office. She didn¡¯t say anything or explain. ¡°You still refuse to explain why you hit Han Ru?¡± Seeing her attitude, the principal asked with a headache. Anhao was silent for a while before she sneered, ¡°Would you believe me if I told you that Han Ru hit me first?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll believe you?¡± The principal¡¯s face instantly turned cold.¡± It¡¯s already at this point, and you¡¯re still lying?¡± Han Ru had always been a good student with excellent moral character! Good grades, good moral character! She had helped many other students on a daily basis! She often donated her pocket money to Project Hope. How could such an obedient child hit you?¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re pushing the responsibility of beating someone up to an innocent person? Are there any injuries on your face? Other than a little redness, there were also injuries? Look at Han Ru. She was sent to the hospital after being beaten by you. How hard did you hit her?¡± ¡°I used my feet, not my hands.¡± Anhao glanced at the principal with a cynical expression. The principal looked at her speechlessly. You child¡­¡¯ ¡°Should we call the parents?¡± Good, light, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear, clear¡± ¡°What parents? If Professor Yi hadn¡¯t helped you settle this matter, you would have been in the police station again! Do you think the Han family is a good family to provoke? Neither the Han family nor the Xu family were people to be trifled with! You¡¯re lucky this time that Professor Yi saw this. The Yi family and the Han family have a good relationship. Professor Yi helped you settle this matter. Although the school doesn¡¯t have to punish you severely, you¡¯re so young and you¡¯re already so bad. You have to be punished!¡± Anhao lowered her eyes. She didn¡¯t want Yi Zeyang to do anything for her, and she didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with him. However, at this point, it would be too delicate to say that she didn¡¯t need it. Therefore, she didn¡¯t say anything and just stood there quietly. No one would believe her anyway. Even Yi Zeyang, who was present at the time, did not see clearly that it was Han Ru who first insulted her and hit her, forcing her to fight back. If even Yi Zeyang did not believe her, who else could she expect to believe her? The goddess-level student with the best grades in the school year was fighting with the female hooligan with the worst grades in the school year. Everyone knew that Gu Anhao was the one who had beaten Han Ru up. This was the truth! This was the truth that Gu Anhao had been used to seeing for so many years! She snorted. What was there to explain? There¡¯s nothing to explain Seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s attitude, the principal could tell that it was not a good time to talk to her. He could only frown. ¡°Go stand in the corridor first. Don¡¯t go anywhere. Stand there for the entire afternoon. Let me see what punishment is most appropriate for you in the end!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say a word after hearing that. She turned around and walked out. She stood in front of the window in the corridor outside the principal¡¯s office without a word. Seeing Gu Anhao like that, the principal sighed. After thinking for a while, he suddenly picked up the phone. Fortunately, when Zuo Hancheng had asked his assistant to come to the school to investigate Gu Anhao¡¯s information and results, he had taken note of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s assistant¡¯s number. ¡°Hello, is this Assistant MO? I¡¯m the principal of A High School. It¡¯s like this¡­ Something happened to Gu Anhao¡­l wonder if it¡¯s convenient for President Zuo to come over¡­¡¯ ¡± Yes, Gu Anhao¡¯s situation this time is similar to the last time. Although the matter has been suppressed, the situation is too bad. If it weren¡¯t for Mr. Zuo, we really couldn¡¯t keep the child. But I¡¯m in a difficult position now. I don¡¯t know how to punish her. I think it¡¯s better to invite Mr. Zuo to come to school. I wonder if Mr. Zuo has the time¡­ ¡°Okay, okay. Anhao is still in school. I didn¡¯t let her wander around. Don¡¯t worry. Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you at school.¡± After beating up Han Ru last weekend, Yi Zeyang suppressed the matter today and the principal came to denounce him in the afternoon. Now, Anhao stood in the corridor and looked out the window. She had been standing like this for the entire afternoon. Her legs were numb, but she was still expressionless. She wasn¡¯t even worried about what punishment she would receive. Whatever. She could do whatever she wanted. She had already beaten him up. There was no reason for her to care about whether she would drop out of school in the end. Just as she was thinking about her future, a familiar and tall figure suddenly appeared in the corridor not far away. Her expression changed drastically as she turned around and stared at him. Motherf * cker! Why was Zuo Hancheng here? Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: This Is A Counterattack (4) Chapter 81: This Is A Counterattack (4) Translator: 549690339 Motherf * cker! Why was Zuo Hancheng here? The moment Anhao saw him, she shuddered and felt that the entire world had turned dark. How did he get the news so quickly? It was impossible for Yi Zeyang to have informed him. The school did not have his contact information either. How could he know what had happened in the school? Could it be¡­Was it just a coincidence? Could he be here to invest in A High School? Nowadays, investing in schools seemed to be a new industry. After all, elite schools like A High did have such a background. Anhao carefully turned her head away to avoid his cold gaze. She secretly placed her hands behind her back and her fingers were almost tied into a knot. It was not until Zuo Hancheng walked past her that he stopped in his tracks and looked down at her with his 1.8 -meter-tall body. Anhao felt uncomfortable under his stare. She pursed her lips and looked up at him carefully. She smiled awkwardly. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tall and slender figure stood out in the corridor of the school, especially in a place full of serious teachers and students. He was wearing a long gray trench coat and a noble suit, which was particularly eye-catching. Although they were on the floor where the principal¡¯s office was located and there weren¡¯t many students coming and going, the teachers in the nearby offices had already poked their heads out and quietly looked over. They were very curious about this man¡¯s identity. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not care about how others looked at him or how Anhao felt at the moment. He lowered his eyes and looked at her coldly. Then, he looked at the faint red mark on her face. ¡°Don¡¯t you know why I¡¯m here?¡±Finally, he opened his mouth, his voice clear and dull. Anhao looked around carefully and said awkwardly, ¡°¡±This is a school. Although my reputation here is not very good, can you leave me some face and not educate me here¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng looked at her embarrassed expression and said,¡±¡±When did I say I was going to educate you here?¡± She was stunned and looked at him. Did the principal or someone invite you? They probably really thought that you were my parent and couldn¡¯t find any parents, so they could only look for you. You don¡¯t have to worry about me this time¡­ ¡°Gu Anhao, you only need to tell me the reason for your fight.¡± Anhao lowered her head.¡± I¡¯ve already beaten him up. What reason do I need? I¡¯ll be punished eventually. ¡°Your principal told me that you beat up Han Ru until her intestines ruptured and she was sent to the hospital. It doesn¡¯t matter to me how badly she¡¯s injured¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with his clear eyes. ¡°¡±1 just want to know what made you so angry and so ruthless.¡± Anhao stiffened, but she still lowered her head and bit her lip.¡±¡±Yes, she¡¯s quite seriously injured, but the Han family doesn¡¯t intend to pursue the matter anymore, so I think you should just leave this matter alone. I¡¯ll just be punished a little.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows furrowed slightly as he stared at the top of her head with his distant and cold eyes.¡± ¡°Raise your head.¡± Her heart trembled as she slowly raised her eyes. Her eyes were already starting to turn bitter, but she was holding back the tears that were about to overflow. Seeing her reddened eyes, Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows and said in a much gentler voice,¡± ¡°What¡¯s the reason?¡± ¡°Will you believe me?¡± Anhao looked at him with red eyes.¡± ¡°There will always be one truth. Whether you believe it or not, no one can deprive you of the right to defend yourself.¡± ¡°Han Ru has the best grades. She is a good student in the eyes of the teachers and students in the school. She is the treasure in the eyes of the teachers. When I fought with her, everyone believed that I was the one who hit Han Ru.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± This was a school. Zuo Hancheng did not go forward to comfort her because of the tears that had started to gather in her eyes. He only looked at her coldly and said in a low voice, ¡°Since you didn¡¯t do anything wrong, don¡¯t cry. You just have to tell me the reason now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if I say it foolishly, even you will think that I¡¯m lying and that you won¡¯t believe me. ¡°She looked into his eyes stubbornly. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word and looked at him silently. Anhao was still young, and she believed that this was how the world was. When everyone was supporting another person, she would automatically choose to retreat and not argue. ¡°I believe you,¡± he said softly after a long while. Her tears fell instantly. Anhao wanted to raise her hand to wipe them away, but Zuo Hancheng had already raised his hand first. His slightly warm fingers caressed her cheek and wiped her tears away. ¡°I believe that you won¡¯t hurt someone without a reason. Tell me the truth.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t want to cry. She had never known that the left hand had such a gentle side to him. A soft corner of my heart. She couldn¡¯t help but feel coquettish when the soft blanket touched her, and her tears kept falling. She raised her hand to wipe her face and looked up seriously.¡± ¡°Han Ru said that my mother was a mistress and that I was a bastard who had a mistress. She said that I didn¡¯t deserve to go to A High School. They said that I was a student, that I should maintain my last place in the school year, that I didn¡¯t deserve to study hard, that I didn¡¯t deserve to improve my ranking, and that I should sit firmly in the last place. I endured all of these!¡± ¡± Han Ru even met Gu Shishi,¡± she complained, sounding aggrieved.¡± She heard a lot of bad things about me and my mother from Gu Shishi, so she brought a few girls to insult me. I tolerated it, but when I couldn¡¯t take it anymore, she suddenly slapped me in the face, thinking that I was really that easy to bully. I just didn¡¯t want to cause trouble again and get expelled. I didn¡¯t want to be humiliated by the Gu family, so I kept tolerating it. But in the end, I really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. They kept calling my mother a b * tch, so I¡­¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t help but hit her and kick her. I used a lot of strength at that time. I was so angry that I wanted to kill her¡­¡± At this point, Anhao pursed her lips and looked at him. ¡°Would you believe me?¡± ¡°What?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her aggrieved face. Anhao¡¯s eyes were red as she said,¡±¡±They all think that I hit Han Ru because I was jealous of her. They all think that all my excuses are lies. Didn¡¯t you always think that I¡¯m a stubborn and wicked child? Would you believe me?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zuo Hancheng said softly,¡± Being first in the results doesn¡¯t mean that your character is noble. If I didn¡¯t believe you, why would I come here?¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng turned around and went straight into the principal¡¯s office, leaving Anhao standing there in a daze. He then turned around to look at MO Bai who was standing outside with him.. Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: This Is A Counterattack (5) Chapter 82: This Is A Counterattack (5) Translator: 549690339 After saying that, Zuo Hancheng turned around and went straight into the principal¡¯s office, leaving Anhao standing there in a daze. He then turned around to look at Mo Bai who was standing outside with him. The principal¡¯s office seemed to be very quiet. After the door was closed, the soundproofing was very good. Anhao couldn¡¯t hear the voices inside, so she paced back and forth outside. She didn¡¯t know what the principal would say about her in front of Zuo Hancheng. Mobai looked at her conflicted face from the side and smiled, saying softly,¡±¡±Miss Gu, don¡¯t worry. With President Zuo around, you¡¯ll be fine.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid that something will happen. I¡¯m just curious why he¡¯s here.¡± ¡°The last time President Zuo sent me to investigate your grades and your daily situation, the principal left my name card.¡± Mobai continued to explain,¡± It was the principal who called me today to explain the situation. After that, I passed the message to President Zuo. Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡± ¡°Was Zuo Hancheng angry before he came?¡± Mobai was startled.¡± I don¡¯t think so. I don¡¯t see President Zuo angry at all.¡± However, at that time, because it sounded very urgent, I went into the conference room to quietly tell President Zuo about this matter. He was discussing the important plans for the next quarter with several shareholders of the company. This was the most important meeting of the senior leaders at the end of the year and could not be interrupted at will.¡± Anhao was a little confused.¡± So?¡± ¡°But President Zuo interrupted the meeting today and pushed back everything.¡±Mobai said softly. Anhao opened her mouth in surprise. She pointed at the door of the principal¡¯s office and then pointed at herself. In the end, she could not say a word for a long time. This was too shocking! However, when she thought about how Zuo Hancheng had said that he believed her, all the gloominess in Anhao¡¯s heart was swept away. She immediately went to Mobai¡¯s side with a smile, and bumped Mobai¡¯s arm with her shoulder like a good brother. When Mobai looked at her with a shocked expression, she giggled and said, ¡°¡±Then I have to thank you for going in to tell him about this during his meeting. You can be considered my indirect savior.¡± Mobai paused for a moment, then sighed and smiled.¡± Miss Gu, President Zuo¡¯s office is rarely visited by people who have nothing to do with his work. All of his private rooms and private spaces are not places that others can enter casually. ¡°Although I¡¯m not very clear about the specific relationship between you and President Zuo, I can see how much President Zuo values you. So when I heard that something happened to you, I didn¡¯t think too much about it. I went in first and said it. It wasn¡¯t much of a help.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say a word after hearing that. She turned to look at the door of the principal¡¯s office and suddenly fell silent. When she was first forced to go to Shengling Group for tuition, she was very angry and did not think too much about it. Even when Zuo Hancheng asked someone to prepare a small desk for her in the CEO¡¯s office, she did not think much of it. She only felt that he wanted her to monitor her right under his nose. Now that she heard Mobai say this, she finally understood. However, after thinking for a long time, he could not think of a reason. Zuo Hancheng was so nice to her. Could it be that he had fallen in love with her? But thinking about it carefully, it was unlikely. How could a big shot like him be interested in a little girl like her? She had never dreamt about Cinderella. Although the story of a hero saving a damsel in distress happened from time to time and was not uncommon in this society, the plot of a prince falling in love with Cinderella was always in fairy tales. She never believed it. Besides, she was not Cinderella. Zuo Hancheng had also said that she was a superwoman. Not far away, at the corner of the corridor, a figure stopped for a long time. From the moment Zuo Hancheng appeared, to the moment Anhao told him the whole truth, to the moment when Anhao and Assistant MO were talking, he had heard every single word of it. Yi Zeyang stood at the corner and did not walk out. Even though he had the surveillance records of the scene at the school gate in his hands, even though he was about to hand the surveillance records to the principal to help Anhao explain what happened today. From the surveillance camera, he had seen Han Ru and a few other girls being aggressive and poking Anhao from time to time. Anhao had been holding it in until Han Ru suddenly slapped her. Anhao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and kicked Han Ru. After looking at the surveillance footage, Yi Zeyang immediately recorded the footage and brought it to the principal¡¯s office. From the very beginning, he had never confirmed that it was Anhao who had hurt him. He had only told her that it was wrong for her to hit someone in school for whatever reason. He had never doubted her. If he didn¡¯t believe her, he wouldn¡¯t have deliberately pulled up the records to clear her name. However, Anhao was crying and complaining in front of another man. Recently, Anhao, who had been like a porcupine in front of him, was crying helplessly in front of Zuo Hancheng. She even stubbornly asked Zuo Hancheng if he would believe her. Anhao, who was slowly walking in the corridor, suddenly became quiet. It was as if her entire person and heart had suddenly calmed down. She lowered her head and no one knew what she was thinking. However, her eyes were no longer filled with grievance and hatred like before. The scene of her roaring and shouting in front of him, asking him not to appear in front of her in the future, echoed in his ears. This was the first time Anhao had lost her temper in front of him. It was even the first time she had spoken rudely to him. Yi Zeyang had never thought that he was the person Anhao cared about and respected the most. However, Anhao had always been obedient in front of him and never dared to show any bad side. But today, she was really wronged and angry. She actually shouted at him, telling him never to come near her again¡­ Yi Zeyang raised his hand and held his forehead. He stood at the entrance of the corridor and did not try to enter her line of sight again at this time. Anhao was pacing back and forth as she chatted with Mobai. Actually, she didn¡¯t want to talk about anything, but she felt that Mobai would be bored standing there, so she found a topic to talk about. Until a male student suddenly walked over from the corner of the corridor. When the male student walked over, he said, ¡°Gu Anhao, this is what Professor Yi asked me to bring over. He said that you should hand it over to the principal¡¯s office.¡± Anhao was stunned when she heard Yi Zeyang¡¯s name. She didn¡¯t understand why Yi Zeyang would ask someone else to send something over. Mobai¡¯s sharp eyes had already recognized that it was a recorded disc. He guessed that it should be the recording of the scene where Anhao beat someone up. He immediately reached out to take it for her and said while Anhao was still in a daze,¡±¡±l¡¯ll send it in first.¡± Anhao also took a look at the CD. She didn¡¯t say anything and just nodded. Mobai knocked on the door and entered the principal¡¯s office.. Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: This Is A Counterattack (6) Chapter 83: This Is A Counterattack (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao stood outside the office door and turned to look in the direction that the boy had left. She then took out her phone and looked through her call history. She found Yi Zeyang¡¯s number. Although she did not save his number, she recognized the string of numbers at a glance. However, as she stared at the string of numbers on the phone screen, she did not make the call in the end. She remembered what she had shouted at Yi Zeyang at the scene of the fight last night. She remembered the shock and pain in his eyes, and also how pathetic she had been at that time. Forget it. Since he had already helped her resolve the Han family¡¯s matter and had chosen not to see her, there was no need for her to call him to thank him. She was the one who had said that she would never see him again. Even if she had to thank him, there seemed to be no need to thank him. About an hour later, Anhao was so tired from standing outside that she felt numb. The door to the principal¡¯s office finally opened. Mobai took the lead and walked out. After leaving the door, he gave An Shi a reassuring expression. Anxin¡¯s neck was stretched out, and she immediately calmed down when she saw Mobai¡¯s expression. Then, Zuo Hancheng walked out. The principal also sent him off personally with a polite expression. His face was full of smiles as he nodded and bowed. ¡°This matter is indeed another mistake in the school¡¯s handling. President Zuo, please don¡¯t take it to heart. I promise that before Gu Anhao graduates from high school next June, I will arrange for some teachers to take turns tutoring her during class breaks and help her improve her grades. I won¡¯t let you down, President Zuo.¡± Seeing the principal¡¯s expression, Anhao did not say anything. She only looked up at Zuo Hancheng and saw him walking out with a calm expression. She did not respond to the principal¡¯s words. But when the principal saw Anhao still standing outside, he immediately turned around and said,¡±¡±Anhao, you must be tired from standing all afternoon. Don¡¯t attend class this afternoon. Go back with President Zuo. I¡¯ll arrange for a few teachers to make up for the lessons you missed a few days ago.¡± Anhao widened her eyes in shock. I¡­¡± ¡°Principal, I don¡¯t have to be punished anymore, right?¡± She paused for a moment and suddenly smiled.¡± The principal¡¯s face stiffened. He had just diverted the topic away from Zuo Hancheng, but Gu Anhao had brought it up again. The principal could only smile apologetically.¡± We¡¯ve already seen the surveillance video just now. I really didn¡¯t expect Han Ru to hit you first. I¡¯m really sorry, Anhao. The principal misunderstood you again today. Anhao pursed her lips. Unexpectedly, Mobai, who had always been cautious in his words, suddenly said, ¡± ¡°Humans must never have such a stupid and deep-rooted thought. If the student with the best grades fought with the student with the last place, the student with the last place would definitely make the first move? What kind of logic is this?¡± ¡± A high school has such a stubborn leader. It seems like the Education Bureau needs to greet him¡­¡± The principal¡¯s expression changed when he heard that. He looked at Mobai nervously and then at Zuo Hancheng, who was standing in front of the window with his back facing him. In the end, the principal looked at Anhao awkwardly.¡± ¡°Student Anhao¡­This¡­ Didn¡¯t I not punish you? I also think that there¡¯s something wrong with this matter, so I specially asked President Zuo to investigate the truth and prove your innocence. Anhao, about this matter, what do you think¡­¡± Anhao wasn¡¯t a saint, but the principal had helped her with many things because she was the mayor¡¯s daughter. She wouldn¡¯t help him, but she wouldn¡¯t push him into the water either. So she lowered her head and said softly,¡±l¡¯m just a student. I don¡¯t care about so many things. When the principal heard that, his face turned green. He was really afraid that his position as principal would be threatened. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back and begged,¡± ¡°President Zuo, how do you want this matter to be resolved? I¡¯ll listen to your arrangements.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao at this moment, obviously letting her decide for herself. Anhao paused when she saw his gaze. Everyone thought that she would force the principal to apologize to her in front of all the teachers and students in the school, just like last time, to save her face. However, Anhao was silent for a moment before she suddenly looked up and said,¡±¡±l want Han Ru and I to be in the same classroom for the final exam this semester.¡± ¡°What?¡± The principal was stunned. Mobai looked at her in surprise. This little girl was going to counterattack! When Zuo Hancheng heard what she said, although it was unexpected, it was reasonable considering her personality. He just smiled. ¡°An-Anhao, you¡­Why bother?¡± Initially, the principal had planned to make Zuo Hancheng happy by arranging a separate passage for Anhao to take the exam. If it really didn¡¯t work out, he would arrange for a student with good grades to take the exam in place of Anhao and save her some face. In the end, Anhao actually ran herself into the muzzle of a gun. What could he ¡°This is my only request. I want to take the exam with Han Ru.¡±Anhao said,¡± Even if her intestines are ruptured now, it¡¯s not a big problem. She¡¯ll be able to come back for tuition and exams after half a month of surgery. Anyway, you guys will take special care of patients like her. In order to not take too much care of her, the two of us can stay together and keep an eye on each other. ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°There are still twenty days left for the final exam, right?¡±Anhao looked at the principal.¡± I only have one request. Nothing else. The principal took a deep breath. He felt that Anhao was just a child and had been thinking about it for a long time. He then looked up at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he had no intention of stopping her. He could only nod. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let you do as you wish.¡± Anhao smiled and suddenly whispered into the principal¡¯s ear,¡±¡±Principal, let me tell you, if you want to look for my parents for any reason in the future, you should look for Zuo Hancheng directly. That way, you will always remember to find out the truth and not rely on your own intuition to make a conclusion. You are already in your fifties. If you lose your position as principal for no reason, can you afford to lose this person?¡± ¡°..¡±The principal¡¯s eyelids twitched violently. Anhao raised her hand and patted his shoulder regretfully. Then, she sighed and said, ¡°¡±Let me put in a good word for you first. Although you¡¯re a little muddle-headed, you¡¯ve taken care of me a lot over the past few years. I can barely protect you once, but I can¡¯t guarantee it next time.¡± The principal was speechless. Mobai was speechless. Zuo Hancneng was speecnless. In the end, when Anhao turned around and followed Zuo Hancheng out of the floor where the principal¡¯s office was located, the principal¡¯s legs were so weak that he could barely stand up. He leaned back against the door and heaved a long sigh of relief.. Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Overnight in the President’s Office (1) Chapter 84: Overnight in the President¡¯s Office (1) Translator: 549690339 Mobai drove away first while Anhao and Zuo Hancheng strolled around A High¡¯s campus. Anhao also felt that it was very strange for her to be strolling around the field of A High with a big BOSS like Zuo Hancheng. But now that he had helped her once again, she was too embarrassed to chase him away. Moreover, there was no need to chase him away. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, but he seemed to be observing the school that she had stayed in for three years. He looked at the young children playing basketball in the field with a light gaze. Anhao followed him, but she suddenly felt hungry. She only had 30 yuan as her allowance every day, and seeing Zuo Hancheng by her side, she felt that she should have a reason to have a meal with him. However, he had just helped her, and she directly asked him to bring her out for dinner. It seemed¡­ She couldn¡¯t open her mouth. Hence, Anhao pretended to be smart and said, ¡°That¡­¡± ¡®Zuo Hancheng, thank you for today. This is the second time you¡¯ve helped me to clear my name.¡±¡® Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Hancheng turned his head and glanced at her.¡±¡±lf I hadn¡¯t come today, how would you have resolved this matter?¡± ¡°How?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she smiled. ¡°What else can we do? Even if the police didn¡¯t come looking for me this time, the whole school would smear me again and suspect that there¡¯s something wrong with my character. Then, everyone would feel sorry for Goddess Han Ru, and all the boys would start to protect her and reject me¡­ After a pause, she smiled again.¡± This isn¡¯t the first time something like this has happened. I¡¯m already used to it. Last time, I went to the police station and had no choice but to implicate you. This time, I didn¡¯t want to trouble you.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not say anything when he saw her suddenly become polite and reserved. Anhao was really hungry, so she simply said,¡±¡±Well, it¡¯s already past five o¡¯clock, and it¡¯s almost time for dinner. Why don¡¯t I treat you to something to eat?¡± In fact, her purpose was to remind Zuo Hancheng that she did not have much money on her now. She wanted to remind him to take her out to eat some good food to make up for his hurt feelings. Zuo Hancheng was silent for a while before he looked at the boys who were playing basketball on the field. He raised his eyebrows and said softly,¡±¡±Sure,¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao almost choked on her own saliva. Good? What¡¯s so good about it! Good my ass! She didn¡¯t have the money to buy him a meal! He only gave her thirty yuan a day as pocket money, yet he was still trying to exploit her! Zuo Hancheng was not human! She had just changed her opinion of him and thought that Zuo Hancheng was actually a good person. In the end, he actually came to exploit her! It was nothing for him to help her clear her name. To him, it was just a matter of a word. In the end, he actually had the cheek to ask her to treat him to a meal! But the words that were said were like water that was poured out. How could someone like Gu Anhao, who cared so much about her face, regret it? Hence¡­ Ten minutes later- Gu Anhao and the mysterious international CEO of Shengling Group appeared in the cafeteria of A High School. At this time, many students had already finished their evening self-study and came to the cafeteria to eat. When they saw Gu Anhao, they were very surprised because they heard that she had just beaten Han Ru today. She should be bitterly preparing to receive punishment, but she actually came to eat with a happy face. More importantly, there was that handsome guy beside her! A huge, huge, huge handsome guy! Countless female students were walking around the dining table with plates in their hands. They were so shocked by the sight of the handsome man that they lost their balance and bumped into him a few times. The sound of plates falling to the ground could be heard one after another, and many female students were secretly exclaiming in surprise. Initially. Anhao felt that it was already very Painful to treat Zuo Hancheng to a meal. However, after she noticed the gazes of the female students and the actions of all the fangirls, she suddenly felt a strong urge to act cool. So she straightened her back and slapped the ten yuan in her hand on the counter of the snack bar next to the canteen. ¡°Give me two bowls of instant noodles and two sticks of ham! Soak it in hot water, cut the ham, and put it in! I¡¯ll come and get it in six minutes!¡± The old man in the convenience store looked at her carefully. He didn¡¯t know why this little girl looked like she had eyes that could reach the sky today. He took the money nonchalantly. ¡°Just wait. There are still a few people queuing in front of you. Come back in twenty minutes to get it.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng looking at her, who was crying for food. She felt embarrassed. He could only turn around and smile.¡± Ha, haha, usually our canteen is very crowded at this time. People who eat instant noodles line up. Twenty minutes is not long. Let¡¯s wait for a while.¡± That¡¯s right, she was planning to treat Zuo Hancheng to instant noodles! She didn¡¯t know if he, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had eaten instant noodles before. Anyway, according to the money in her pocket and budget, the only thing she could afford was instant noodles. Instant noodles cost 3-50 yuan, ham cost 1.00 yuan, and hot water cost exactly 5.00 yuan. Two servings would cost 10 yuan. This was already very extravagant for her! 30 yuan a day! Of course, she had to budget properly! Of course, if it were not for Zuo Hancheng, she could have eaten a bento box with meat on it! There was no time to dwell on this now. Many female students were already pointing at Zuo Hancheng excitedly, whispering about how handsome he was, how perfect he was, and how he was a Prince Charming. There were even some who were guessing his identity. This was especially so since high school girls nowadays liked to study those luxurious items. Many people recognized Zuo Hancheng¡¯s windbreaker and suit at a glance. They even guessed the style of his shirt, including the design of his pants and shoes. These children from the so-called upper-class families were inevitably boastful, but they were indeed knowledgeable and could accurately recognize Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes and brands. Tsk tsk, shallow! Zuo Hancheng completely ignored the gazes around him. He only glanced at Anhao before turning back to look at the seats in the canteen. ¡°Where should we sit?¡± Anhao pointed at the empty table next to him that was being cleaned by the canteen auntie.¡±¡±Let¡¯s do it here. Auntie, clean up the tableware on top and wipe it clean.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not seem to mind. He turned around and sat down after she finished speaking. Although there were many tall boys in high school, Zuo Hancheng was more than 1.85 meters tall. He was dressed in expensive clothes, and he was so handsome that he was eye-catching. His aura was so special. His straight figure attracted the hearts of countless girls when he sat there. Anhao had never thought that Zuo Hancheng was so popular among high school girls. Thinking about it, it seemed that these random people usually did not have the chance to see the legendary Zuo Hancheng. If they knew that he was Zuo Hancheng, would the canteen be filled up instantly? Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Sleeping in the President’s Office (2) Chapter 85: Sleeping in the President¡¯s Office (2) Translator: 549690339 The canteen auntie had already wiped the table clean and turned to leave. Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng sitting across from her, patiently waiting for the instant noodles that she wanted to treat him to. She was sitting with him in the canteen and eating together. It was already very awkward. The group of girls around her would pick up their cameras and secretly take photos of Zuo Hancheng from time to time. Occasionally, the angle of the camera would be pointed at her. This made her very uncomfortable. However, seeing that Zuo Hancheng was ignoring them, she could only pick up the napkin from the box on the table and wipe the table twice. Then, she placed her arm on the dining table and looked left and right. When she looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm expression as he waited for the instant noodles, she whispered, ¡°They¡¯re all looking at you¡­ ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao heard his disapproving response and could not help but continue to whisper, ¡°¡±They are secretly taking photos of you. Don¡¯t you like to be photographed by others?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes reflected her image. He glanced at her guilty expression and said calmly,¡±¡±l¡¯m eating with my wife. Why would I be afraid of being photographed?¡± That was indeed the logic, but¡­But you didn¡¯t even let me take photos of you. Is it really okay for them to take photos so casually?¡± ¡°As you wish.¡± ¡± Even if they did, there¡¯s no way they can post it,¡± Zuo Hancheng said.¡± If any website, forum, or media dares to publish the news of my photo, they will know the consequences very soon. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you let me film you?¡± Anhao gasped.¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed.¡± Because others don¡¯t dare to publish my photos, but you, Gu Anhao, have the guts to do whatever you¡¯re told to do. Alright then.¡± Anhao was speechless. At this moment, the shopkeeper called her name. She quickly got up and ran over. She first took back a bowl of braised beef instant noodles, then took back a bowl of seafood instant noodles. Then, she placed it between the two of them and said, ¡°Well, there won¡¯t really be meat or seafood inside anyway. You can choose whichever you want.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the two bowls of instant noodles on the table. At the same time, he saw Anhao placing her chopsticks on the bowl that tasted like seafood, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, silently declaring her sovereignty. It was no secret that she liked seafood. Zuo Hancheng took the other bowl and took the chopsticks. He opened the instant noodles box and looked at the ham and the noodles that were already soft and hard. He actually ate them. Anhao looked at his elegant appearance while eating instant noodles. She felt that if this man were to be photographed now, he would be able to become a spokesperson. She was clearly eating so elegantly and gracefully, without the slightest bit of wolfing down the food, but it still made people especially hungry. It was just a bowl of instant noodles, but he, who could afford a house in Beijing, actually accompanied her to eat instant noodles. Moreover, he did not seem to mind at all. Anhao was suddenly touched. Touched by her own enthusiasm, she should have saved the two hams! Initially, she felt that eating only instant noodles was too shabby, so she reluctantly asked for two pieces of ham. However, he did not seem to mind at all! Anhao was very hungry now. There were so many people around, so she could not continue to admire Zuo Hancheng¡¯s instant noodles. She quickly lowered her head and began to eat. Not long after, Anhao¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was Huang Amao calling. She picked up the phone in confusion.¡±Hello?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, who is the person sitting opposite you?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± An Hao was stunned for a moment. She looked up abruptly and saw Chunchun and Huang Amao standing outside the crowd. They seemed to feel that the situation was not suitable for them to come over and call her, so they actually chose to call her from afar. ¡°Uh, you two haven¡¯t eaten yet, have you?¡± Anhao asked awkwardly. Do you want to come over and sit down?¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Before Huang Amao could respond, Chunchun shouted excitedly from the side- She grabbed Huang Amao¡¯s arm and squeezed into the crowd. When the two of them arrived beside Anhao, they gave Anhao a look. Huang Amao only had the time to put down his phone and chuckled. Anhao patted the bench she was sitting on.¡±¡±Sit down and eat together.¡± When they sat down, Zuo Hancheng only glanced at them and recognized them as Anhao¡¯s closest friends. They were also the two who had visited her at the hospital before. He had no objections, nor did he reject them coming over to sit together. However, there was not much intention of greeting them in his eyes. He only glanced at them indifferently. Chunchun always took the initiative when she saw handsome men. After sitting down, she reached out her hand enthusiastically.¡±Hello, I¡¯m Su Chunchun. I¡¯m Anhao¡¯s good sister! The handsome guy I saw in the hospital last time was you, right? It¡¯s really fate that we meet again!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her outstretched hand. Anhao thought that he would ignore it and Chunchun would be embarrassed. She wanted to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, although Zuo Hancheng did not reach out to shake her hand, he still nodded his head.¡±Yes, nice to meet you.¡± Chunchun was surprised. She withdrew her hand with a dreamy expression and muttered softly,¡± ¡°So handsome¡­Ahhhh, you actually said it was a pleasure to meet you¡­¡± Although Huang Amao was also infatuated, he was not as exaggerated as Chunchun. He looked at Zuo Hancheng in embarrassment and whispered into Anhao¡¯s ear,¡±¡±Who exactly is he? I didn¡¯t dare to ask him the last time I saw him, but he actually appeared in our school cafeteria now! Chunchun and I were originally going out to eat, but we heard that there was a small commotion in the cafeteria, so we ran over. We didn¡¯t expect it to be related to you!¡± Although Huang Amao¡¯s voice was not loud, Zuo Hancheng was sitting opposite him, so he could hear it clearly. Anhao found it hard to explain his identity. If she were to say that he was Zuo Hancheng, the Zuo Hancheng of Shengling Group, the mysterious big BOSS that they had been gossiping about a while ago, she felt that with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s aura, no one would not believe it because he was not an ordinary person. However, if he said that, there would probably be a stampede in A High School today, and it was obvious that Zuo Hancheng did not want to see such a disturbing scene. ¡°He is¡­¡± Ann laughed. He was¡­ It¡¯s mine¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her, seemingly curious about her answer. ¡°He¡¯s one of my guardians.¡± After a long time, Anhao squeezed out this sentence. Huang Amao was shocked.¡± Ah, so Chunchun and I were right. He is indeed a relative of the Gu family!¡± So you called your parents to help you solve the problem between you and Han Ru?¡± ¡°You, you can say that¡­¡± Anhao smiled awkwardly and quietly turned her head. She saw that although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold and indifferent, he did not seem to have any intention of exposing her lie. After all, she was still a student¡­lt was hard to say that she was married.. Chapter 86 - Chapter 86: Staying in the President’s Office (3) Chapter 86: Staying in the President¡¯s Office (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Then what¡¯s your relationship with him?¡±Huang Amao asked curiously. Anhao glanced at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was looking at them calmly and had no intention of explaining his identity. She could only continue to laugh and say, ¡°Yes¡­¡± He¡¯s mine¡­Mm¡­ In any case, he was considered a guardian. It was not easy to say what their relationship was.¡± Huang Amao nodded.¡± Forget it. I can probably guess it. After all, your father and mother have an unusual relationship. Chunchun also whispered from the side,¡± Don¡¯t ask anymore. It¡¯s probably a relative of Anhao¡¯s mother. If Anhao doesn¡¯t want to mention it, let¡¯s not ask in detail. Huang Amao quickly put on a smile and said to Zuo Hancheng,¡±¡±Chunchun and I are Anhao¡¯s best friends. The last time we met at the hospital, we didn¡¯t greet each other properly. I really didn¡¯t expect to see you here today!¡± Chunchun also nodded.¡± Yes, yes, but you¡¯re so handsome! ¡°Anhao was speechless. Huang AmaAmao rolled his eyes and turned to Chunchun.¡±¡±Will it kill you to restrain yourself?¡± Chunchun¡¯s eyes lit up. Besides, I¡¯m telling the truth. Don¡¯t you think so, handsome?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm, but when Anhao was about to be embarrassed, he let out a low laugh. ¡°Of course.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered. Anhao looked at him in shock. She thought that Zuo Hancheng would find them childish, but he was so considerate today and did not hurt Chunchun¡¯s young girl heart. When Chunchun heard his answer, she raised her eyebrows proudly and suddenly turned to look at Anhao. ¡°Gu Anhao, you have a lot of useful stuff hidden around you! Why didn¡¯t you introduce such a handsome guardian brother to us earlier!¡± ¡°Brother guardian?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Why not guardian uncle? ¡°Uncle?¡± This time, even Huang Amao couldn¡¯t remain calm.¡±¡±How could it be uncle? Although he looked like someone who was dressed very formally, he looked to be at most 26 or 27 years old, okay? It can¡¯t be uncle!¡± Anhao was speechless. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s originally calm lips were slightly raised. Obviously, although the three girls in front of him were childish, he was still in a good mood. Anhao sulked for a while. This time, the only reason she could occasionally attack Zuo Hancheng was ruined by these two bad friends. She had always used the ten years difference between them as the biggest gap between them, but now it was all gone! Anhao raised her hand to support her chin and smacked her lips.¡±¡±That¡¯s because there¡¯s something wrong with your eyes. Actually, this person in front of you is already¡­¡± She pretended to glance at Zuo Hancheng unintentionally and lied,¡±¡±He¡¯s already thirty-five years old!¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. Chunchun and Huang Amao: Why not? She turned to look at them.¡± Have you ever seen someone who¡¯s so successful at such a young age? From his clothes and demeanor, it could be seen that he was already middle-aged!¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. Huang Amao and Chunchun looked at Zuo Hancheng up and down for a long time, until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched. In the end, the two of them still said in unison, ¡°According to our years of experience in focusing on beautiful men, this guardian brother in front of us is at most thirty years old!¡± Anhao was speechless. Competing in intelligence and eyesight with two fangirls who often studied all kinds of handsome men¡­ I lost¡­ ¡°Brother Guardian, aren¡¯t you going to defend yourself?¡± Chunchun looked as if she wanted to stand on the same side as him.¡±Gu Anhao slandered your age, yet you¡¯re still so calm.¡± Zuo Hancheng first glanced at Anhao, then at Chunchun. He smiled faintly. ¡°Facts speak louder than words. Although the two of you are young, your eyes are sharp.¡± Chunchun was shocked, and Huang Amao turned around. The two girls held their little hearts excitedly.¡±Aiya, you guessed it right!¡± Anhao suddenly felt that it was too weird to let Zuo Hancheng sit in the cafeteria of A High School and face two high school girls with red hearts in their eyes. So, she quickly changed the topic. Are you full from sitting here and watching handsome guys? Chunchun and Huang Amao then remembered that they were here to eat. They smiled at Zuo Hancheng for a long time before they got up and went to line up to buy food. After the two of them left, Anhao finally felt a sense of peace. She slowly drank the instant noodle soup and said, ¡°¡±1 thought you didn¡¯t want to sit with little girls like us. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so approachable when you¡¯re in a good mood.¡± ¡°Who told you I¡¯m in a good mood?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Anhao was stunned and looked up at him in surprise.¡±¡±lf you¡¯re in a bad mood, why are you sitting here and eating instant noodles with me? Why would she be so polite to my best friend?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, sitting here eating instant noodles with you and chatting with your girlfriends has nothing to do with my mood.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her, his gaze slightly restrained. Anhao didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant, but she suddenly felt that the instant noodle soup today was especially delicious. As she drank the soup seriously, she casually asked,¡± ¡°What does that have to do with?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer immediately. She drank two more mouthfuls of soup and looked up at him. Suddenly, her eyes met his dark eyes, and her heart shook inexplicably. ¡°You. ¡± His soft and deep voice suddenly sounded the moment the four eyes stared at each other. The chopsticks in Anhao¡¯s hand suddenly fell onto the table. She stared blankly at his dark eyes, as if she was instantly attracted to them. She couldn¡¯t pull them out for a long time. It was only when Chunchun and Huang Amao returned with the tray that she snapped back to her senses. She avoided Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm gaze and lowered her head to drink the soup in a hurry. What does that have to do with anything? You. This answer shocked her, and her heart beat wildly. As the international CEO of Shengling Group, he could transform a piece of land into a business leader worth hundreds of millions or even billions of resources with just a wave of his hand. Ken sat in the cafeteria of A High School and ate instant noodles with her at a simple table for 3.50 yuan and ham for 1 yuan. Zuo Hancheng, who usually ignored the irrelevant people around him and would never waste time responding to useless nonsense, was sitting here with his two 18-year-old best friends and having such a childish conversation. It was all because of her. Even though Anhao was young, she was not a stupid little girl. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had clearly made his attitude clear. It was not that she did not understand, but she could only pretend not to understand. Was it because of her? Anhao swallowed the soup in her mouth, her eyes suddenly not knowing where to look.. Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Sleeping in the President’s Office (4) Chapter 87: Sleeping in the President¡¯s Office (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Brother Guardian, you must not know that when Anhao first entered high school three years ago, she came to school with short hair that was shorter than the boys. In the beginning, many girls in our school were mesmerized by her because Anhao was originally delicate and beautiful. Everyone thought that she was a handsome boy who came from somewhere. At that time, Anhao even received many love letters from girls!¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Guardian! Anhao had hurt the hearts of many girls back then. When everyone found out that she was actually a girl, she had already offended many girls in A High! At first, they all thought that they had been deceived, but in fact, our Anhao had never said that she was a boy. They could only blame themselves for being attracted by Anhao¡¯s heaven-defying looks at that time. This could not be blamed on our Anhao¡­Don¡¯t you think so?¡± ¡® Also, when Anhao first started high school, she didn¡¯t behave like a normal girl at all because of her short hair. Our school¡¯s director even specially called her for psychological guidance, afraid that there was something wrong with her sexual orientation. Hahahaha¡­¡¯ ¡°Later on, the school forced her to keep her hair long, but Anhao was never willing to keep her hair long. Now, the length of her hair is past her ears, which is the longest she has grown in the past three years. She finally looks like a girl. ¡± ¡°Most importantly, this tomboy always goes out to flirt with male students. After offending all the girls in the school, he goes on to offend all the boys in the school. What do you think Anhao¡¯s image will be in the hearts of the students of A High? It¡¯s simply the kind that everyone wants to beat up, haha ¡± Anhao is also very loyal and fearless, so she has offended many people. But usually, even if Anhao gets into a fight, it¡¯s not without reason. For example, the Xu family incident last time and the Han Ru incident this time. Anhao always has a reason for her actions, but every time she was wronged, she was too lazy to explain. Because even if she explained, they wouldn¡¯t believe it. So, over time, everyone doesn¡¯t like her, including the teachers in the school¡­¡± ¡® But we know Anhao. She and we are best friends. We eat and live together every day. We dominate A High School together. We flirt with handsome guys together. We go crazy together. To be honest, if Anhao wasn¡¯t here, Huang Amao and I would have dropped out of school a long time ago. We really can¡¯t stand the snobbish people in this school. It¡¯s disgusting.¡± ¡°Aiya, let¡¯s not talk about these things. Anyway, we all know what Anhao is like. It¡¯s interesting to talk about how Anhao has been wooing handsome guys over the past few years!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Brother Guardian, you don¡¯t know, but Anhao once wanted to hit on the school hunk in our school. However, the school hunk was a good student who was handsome but never fell in love at an early age. He was the kind of person who had good looks and grades but no EQ!¡± ¡°In order to woo him, Anhao wrote him a love letter filled with red hearts every day, and she wrote it with a highlighter of various colors. Every day, she picked a few flowers from the garden behind the school field and gave them to him. She even went to the school radio station to sing a song for him! In the end, the school hunk completely ignored her and Anhao was depressed during that period of time¡­¡± ¡® After that, Anhao ran to the school gate to block the school hunk. Just when we thought she would force herself on him and kiss him, she actually beat him up and scolded him for having bad taste. After beating him up, she asked him if he wanted to date her. In the end¡­¡± The more Chunchun and Huang Amao talked, the more they wanted to laugh. In the end, they laughed and leaned on the table.¡±Hahahahaha, in the end, the school hunk completed the transfer procedures and escaped from A High. Hahahahaha¡­¡± Anhao was constantly exposed by her best friend in the past half an hour. The two of them even told Zuo Hancheng about her messy and embarrassing things while laughing uncontrollably! He was really going to be angered to death! However, Zuo Hancheng was obviously enjoying the story. He did not think that it was a waste of time to sit here and listen to the two little girls ¡®stories. Instead, there was a faint smile in his eyes, as if he was encouraging them to continue. ¡® Other than the incident where the school hunk was so scared that he transferred schools because he was chased by her, there are also those hooligans in our school who like to fight outside the school. Anhao once made another goddess in our school cry because of a misunderstanding. Those hooligans simply went to find trouble with Anhao.¡± ¡°Anyway, Anhao never acted like a girl in school. They didn¡¯t treat her like a girl at all. They threatened her and wanted to beat her up. Anhao ran away at that time. Then, those four tall and burly boys chased Anhao all over the field.¡± ¡°At that time, Chunchun and I were watching from the side. Anhao¡¯s handsome actions almost conquered us! We knew her too well, and we knew that she still had a pure and delicate girl¡¯s heart hidden in her bones, but it was just covered up by the outside world. If she really had a problem with her sexual orientation, the two of us would have prostrated ourselves under her school uniform and called her husband!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I said that Anhao is usually quite tolerant, but this time, Han Ru¡¯s incident must have angered her. Otherwise, Anhao would never have been so ruthless! Moreover, the last time Anhao was in trouble, it was also because of Han Ru. She even saved Han Ru at that time. In the end, I didn¡¯t expect that white lotus Han Ru to be so shameless. Not only did she slander our Anhao every day, but she also dared to bring people to bully her. She really thought that Anhao was afraid of them.. ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, Anhao is also a young girl with half a martial arts skill. If they dare to provoke Anhao, they¡¯re obviously courting death.¡± ¡°Aiya, speaking of which, Anhao, you didn¡¯t learn dance or piano back then. Instead, you chose to learn Tael?vondo. Now, it looks like you¡¯re really awesome!¡± Huang Amao praised and mocked her, and even gave her a thumbs-up with a sly smile. Anhao resisted the urge to smash the bowl of instant noodles on their heads and ground her teeth.¡± Have you said enough? If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll beat the both of you up!¡± Huang Hemao and Chunchun looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face, with a smile on their faces. They said proudly, ¡°With your guardian brother here, you won¡¯t dare to make a move. Brother guardian, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Anhao raised her hand to her forehead and said with a pained expression, ¡®¡±¡®The biggest failure in this life is to make friends with you two bad friends by mistake. When you go back, quickly write me a letter of severing ties, the kind that needs a thousand words. After writing it, the three of us will sign it.¡± ¡°A thousand words?¡± Chunchun glared at her. A request of 1,000 words clearly meant that you would never be able to leave the two of us in this lifetime!¡± Anhao wanted to cry but had no tears.. She almost slammed her head on the table and hurt herself to show her determination to leave the two of them! Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Staying Overnight in the President’s Office (5) Chapter 88: Staying Overnight in the President¡¯s Office (5) Translator: 549690339 After finally getting rid of Huang Amao and Chunchun, the two bad friends who had been chatting happily, Anhao had intended to send Zuo Hancheng off politely. After sending him off, she would return to the dormitory to settle the score with those two. In the end, she got into his car because Zuo Hancheng said that her face was swollen like a bun after being hit by Han Ru yesterday. He wanted to take her to buy some medicine to reduce the swelling. Anhao hadn¡¯t paid much attention to her face these past two days, and she didn¡¯t feel that it was very serious. How strong could a delicate young lady like Han Ru be? Moreover, he had deliberately avoided it at that time, so it shouldn¡¯t be too serious. However, since Zuo Hancheng had said so, she got into the car and sat in the car. When she pulled down the small mirror on the passenger seat, she took a closer look at her face. Other than a little red mark, there was no sign of her face looking like a steamed bun like what he had said. Anhao understood that she had been tricked by him, but she had no reason to get out of the car now, so she could only sit in the car obediently and not say anything. Because of what Zuo Hancheng had said earlier, she was sitting next to him, feeling uneasy and unsure of what to do. Did Zuo Hancheng fall in love with her? She kept feeling that it was impossible, but did he say that he was interested in her at the hotel the other day? She didn¡¯t listen too carefully¡­At that time, he just ran away¡­ Today¡¯s words made it even more obvious that he was not joking, nor was he teasing her like a child. The word ¡± you ¡± was enough to disturb Anhao¡¯s heart. Her heart had been restless day by day, and now it was even more chaotic. Zuo Hancheng really parked the car at the entrance of a pharmacy. After buying two tubes of ointment and cotton swabs, he came back and helped Anhao apply some medicine on the red mark on her face that was no longer obvious. When he applied the ointment on her face, she felt a cool sensation on her face. It was also because he was so patient and personally applied the ointment on her face that Anhao sat stiffly in the front passenger seat and did not dare to move. She thought that the awkwardness would end after she applied the ointment, but Zuo Hancheng suddenly said,¡±¡±Give me your hand.¡± She was stunned and looked up at him with confusion in her eyes. ¡°Left hand.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at the confusion in her eyes. Just as she stretched out her hand hesitantly, he immediately pulled her hand over and took another tube of ointment to help her apply the ointment on the bruise on her wrist. She didn¡¯t even notice the marks on her wrist, but he had seen them at some point in time. ¡°How did you hurt your wrist?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked casually as he applied the ointment on her wrist. It was just a casual question, not a forceful one. In other words, if Anhao didn¡¯t answer, he probably wouldn¡¯t pursue the matter. However, Anhao looked at the red marks on her wrist and recalled the scene when Yi Zeyang rushed over and grabbed her wrist when she was fighting with Han Ru yesterday afternoon. Initially, Yi Zeyang only pulled her and did not use much strength. However, when she shouted at him to shut up and not to appear in front of her again, the strength he used to hold her wrist gradually increased, as if he wanted to crush her. After that, there was a bruise on her wrist, but she didn¡¯t notice it herself. However, Anhao knew that although she was always causing trouble and fighting, she seemed to be harmless. However, her skin did often have those small bruises. It was not a good thing for her skin to be too white. A casual scratch would leave a red mark. After being pinched for a while, the mark on her wrist could still be seen. Anhao didn¡¯t answer him. She just sat stiffly in the car and allowed him to hold her hand and apply the medicine on her wrist. It was only when Zuo Hancheng put the two tubes of medicine aside and glanced at her face that she tightened her face and pulled her hand away from his.¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing on my wrist. It might be because I was dragged back and forth with Han Ru and those girls in the fight yesterday. I didn¡¯t feel any pain.¡± Zuo Hancheng could see that she was hiding something from him, which made it seem like she was lying. However, seeing that she had been tormented by these things for the past two days, he did not question her further and did not continue the topic. When Zuo Hancheng drove the car to Shengling Group, Anhao wanted to go back to school to stay, but since she was already here, she had no choice but to get off the car with him. Anyway, there were quite a number of private resting rooms on the floor where his CEO¡¯s office was located. It was not a big deal to give her one of them. She followed Zuo Hancheng to the top floor of Shengling Group¡¯s building. It was already past eight o¡¯clock. Most of the employees here had already gotten off work if they did not work overtime. Anhao had also noticed that the lights on each floor were dim, so there should not be many people working overtime today. The entire Shengling Group¡¯s building was quiet now, and there should be only a few security guards on duty on each floor. He didn¡¯t expect Lin Qing and Mobai to still be there. He didn¡¯t know what they were busy with, but both of them were in the secretary¡¯s office on the top floor, facing the computer as if they were checking something. When Mobai and Lin Qing saw them, they should have gone up to greet them, but because they saw Anhao, the two of them tacitly didn¡¯t come out to avoid embarrassing her. Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng all the way into the CEO¡¯s office. As soon as she reached the office, Zuo Hancheng received a phone call. As she was already familiar with the Dlace, she turned around and Doured herself a glass of water. As she drank, she heard Zuo Hancheng talking about the data report and the re-examination on the phone. She didn¡¯t listen too carefully. After a while, Lin Qing knocked on the door and entered. He handed a CD and a few stacks of data sheets to Zuo Hancheng and reported some of the afternoon¡¯s situation before leaving. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had gone straight to his desk and started working, Anhao did not feel sleepy at the moment, and it was impossible for her to disturb him at this time. So, she simply took the lounge card and went to the lounge inside. She had nothing to do and took a shower. After she came out, she dried her hair. In the blink of an eye, it was already 9:30 pm. She sent Qin Feng a text message to ask if he was asleep. If he was not asleep, she would call him to ask. However, there was no response after more than ten minutes. Clearly, Qin Feng had already gone to bed. Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Staying in the President’s Office (6) Chapter 89: Staying in the President¡¯s Office (6) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao told the principal that she would be taking the final exam with Han Ru, it was not just for show. She was really angry with those girls yesterday. Although it was not practical to get first place in the whole year in just 20 days, she could use the 20 days of time that Han Ru was recovering in the hospital to give herself a chance to make a comeback. No matter what the ranking was, at least it was a chance. She had asked to take the exam with Han Ru to prevent Han Ru from framing her for cheating or being covered up by others after her final exam results were released. She wanted to take the exam with Han Ru. No matter what the results were, no one would be able to catch her. She read the English book for a while, but she could not understand the grammar. She had no choice but to get up and walk to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office. She took the opportunity to ask him when he had finished reading one of the data sets. Anhao took the high school English textbook and moved closer to Zuo Hancheng. She asked softly,¡¯¡± ¡®How do you arrange the phrases before and after this? I don¡¯t know how to arrange this grammar.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not expect that she would not go to bed immediately after taking a shower. Instead, she was still reading an English book. It seemed that she really had to work hard. Glancing at her serious expression, he took the textbook from her hand and took a look at it. He immediately helped her make a comparison between the notes and the arrangement. ¡°Both of these are fine, but the grammar required for middle and high school students is not as casual as when you communicate in English. There is no mistake in using the second type, but the first type is not used in the exam.¡± After all, Zuo Hancheng had just returned from the United States. Anhao had thought that he would definitely know how to do it when she was about to ask him, but she did not expect him to actually know how to do it. She couldn¡¯t help but flip to another page. How should I mark this note? There are two different meanings in this English short story and that sentence. I don¡¯t understand the difference here, and this sentence¡­ An hour later. Anhao had been exhausted from the incident with Han Ru in the past two days. She was tired and could not stand it anymore. She was leaning against Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and studying with her English textbook. She would occasionally ask him a few questions, but unknowingly, she leaned her head against his shoulder and slowly closed her eyes. Just like that, she fell asleep. Zuo Hancheng was still checking a very important data report on the computer with his mouse. Suddenly, his shoulder sank slightly. He lowered his head and looked at the little girl who had fallen asleep on his shoulder. His handsome eyebrows moved slightly, and he slowly raised his hand to hold her body so that she could sleep more comfortably in his arms. Anhao was in a deep sleep. After leaning into his arms, she rubbed her face against his chest because of this comfortable position. It was almost the end of the year, and some of the company¡¯s higher-ups had to work overtime to settle some business data. Mobai also worked a rare night shift today. After sorting out the data at night, he was going to the president¡¯s office to tell President Zuo about it. However, just as he reached the door of the president¡¯s office, he saw an incredible scene through the slightly open door. President Zuo was sitting at his desk, reading the report on the computer seriously as usual. There was no change in his expression. However, he was leaning against Gu Anhao, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. President Zuo¡¯s other hand was gently placed on her shoulder, patting her gently from time to time. It was as if he was afraid that the sound of the computer and data transmission in the office would wake her up from her good dream, so he gently patted her shoulder like this¡­ Gentle¡­ Patiently¡­Unbelievable¡­ In the end, Mobai chose to close the door of the office and didn¡¯t walk in. He turned around and returned to the office. He transferred the data from the electronic file to the president¡¯s backup database, then left work and went home. It was only after 1:30 am that Zuo Hancheng finally took his hand off the mouse, and the data report on the computer screen was closed. He lowered his head and looked at Anhao, who was sleeping on his lap. She leaned her head on his lap, sleeping soundly. It was as if this half-leaning and half-lying action made it impossible for her to breathe as smoothly as lying on the bed. Her small mouth was slightly open, and she looked funny and cute. Zuo Hancheng sighed and smiled. He did not even notice the gentle smile in his eyes. In the end, Zuo Hancheng picked her up gently so that he would not wake her up. Anhao only moved slightly in his arms before she continued to sleep soundly in his arms. When Zuo Hancheng carried Anhao back to his resting room, the coffee table beside the sofa was already filled with the textbooks and answer sheets that Anhao had left behind when she was alone. He only took a glance at the things on the coffee table before carrying her to the bed in the resting room. As he was covering her with the blanket, Anhao suddenly flipped over on the bed. She kicked her legs and mumbled,¡±¡±Bastard¡­Look at my Whirlwind Kick¡­¡¯ She kicked hard, and her body, which had just touched the bed, flipped over and almost fell off the bed. Zuo Hancheng quickly caught her. Anhao struggled in his arms and shouted in a low voice, ¡°You don¡¯t have to use force to resolve it¡­ Come on¡­ Closing the door¡­Put¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome face darkened. He lowered his eyes and looked at Anhao, who was still fighting with someone in her dream. He raised his hand helplessly and gently caressed her. Her soft and pretty hair caressed gently. His movements were gentle, and Anhao calmed down from his gentle touch. She stopped moving and talking, but she instinctively turned her head to his chest, as if she was dreaming and craving the smell of his body. After a while, Anhao¡¯s lips suddenly twitched in her dream. It was unknown what she was dreaming about, but she seemed to be in a good mood. Zuo Hancheng watched her smile and chuckled. The winter sun shone on the bed through the gaps between the curtains. Anhao covered her eyes with her hands and woke up after a long time. She was about to turn over when she suddenly felt something heavy on her waist. She turned her head abruptly and was shocked to find that she was sleeping in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. The two of them lay in the soft. She was sleeping in his arms on the soft bed, and one of his arms was around her waist. Such an intimate hug caused endless waves to rise in Anhao¡¯s heart. It could even be described as surging waves! How did she sleep last night? Was she really so tired that she fell asleep in his office? Could it be that Zuo Hancheng had carried her into the resting room and slept with her for the entire night? Anhao carefully lowered her head and saw that both of them were still wearing their clothes. Although a few buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, he looked sexy and lazy. Although she was wearing a wide knee-length T-shirt, it was obvious that the two of them had not done anything else last night other than hugging each other to sleep. Anhao tried to push Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand away and get up from his embrace. However, just as she moved, the arm on her body actually increased its strength and pulled her back heavily.. Chapter 90 - Chapter 90: Staying Overnight in the President’s Office (7) Chapter 90: Staying Overnight in the President¡¯s Office (7) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was pressed into his arms and couldn¡¯t move. She could even hear his heartbeat clearly as she leaned against his chest. A steady heartbeat. Then, Anhao heard him whisper into her ear slowly,¡±¡±Anhao¡­This unexpected marriage has exceeded my expectations.¡± For a moment, she was frozen in his arms and could not find the words to respond. What did he mean by exceeding his expectations? Was it what she thought it meant? For a man like Zuo Hancheng, he had obviously expected her silence when he opened his mouth. However, he held back his anger. Still water flowed deep. He patiently held her in his arms and gently stroked her soft hair. It was not until An Hao lifted her head from his embrace and carefully met his deep black eyes that she felt her mouth go dry. ¡® Beyond expectations means¡­¡± She didn¡¯t dare to think too deeply, so she could only look for another explanation for his words. ¡°Are you saying that you didn¡¯t expect to marry such a troublesome person like me? It hasn¡¯t been long, but I¡¯ve already been called to school twice. Then, I¡¯m so¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already pinned her down. On the soft bed, he gently kissed her lips. The sunlight outside the curtains and the dim lights in the room intertwined, painting their bodies with warm and bright colors. It was very quiet in the resting room. Only their breaths were intertwined. They could even clearly hear the sound of cars driving into the parking lot downstairs. It was already time for work in the morning, but Anhao was still immersed in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss. Her heart was beating faster and faster as she endured his kiss. It shouldn¡¯t be like this¡­ He did not respond to her guesses and explanations. He kissed her lips directly and stopped her nonsense. He even had a little desire¡­ She had heard that men were more energetic in certain aspects when they woke up in the morning than at night. Anhao did not understand at first, but now she was immersed in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss with her. She could not help but gasp for breath, but she could not resist. She was still shocked and confused. The sound of the secretary walking in high heels could already be heard from the corridor outside. She did not dare to make a sound, not knowing if the people outside would hear her. Zuo Hancheng did not make any rash moves. He simply pressed himself on top of her silently, completely occupying her lips and tongue. His hand did not enter her body, but gently caressed her shoulders through her thin clothes. It was like love, comfort, and warmth¡­ However, that was all¡­Anhao felt the weight of his body and the warmth of his palm. Her head was already dizzy. ¡°Left¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± It wasn¡¯t until there was a sudden knock on the door of the office that Anhao shuddered and hurriedly raised her hand to push him away, even though she was separated by the door of the resting room. Zuo Hancheng looked down at the little woman beneath him. Anhao¡¯s face was flushed red, and her loose T-shirt was already wrinkled. She hurriedly pulled the pillow between the two of them and glared at him.¡±Offending a high school student is illegal!¡± She almost bit off her tongue the moment she said that. She knew that this reason was not convincing at all in front of him, but she still said it rashly. Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and looked at her, his dark eyes still raging like a wolf waking up in the morning. Anhao did not know Zuo Hancheng well. He always gave her the feeling that there was something behind him, and it was as if no one could truly understand this dangerous man. However, at this moment, she could clearly see the threatening gaze in his eyes. It was as if this was the real Zuo Hancheng, a man who did not hide his desires after waking up in the morning. ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re already an adult.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was hoarse as he leaned over her, but he did not go any further. He looked at her with his dark eyes and said,¡±l never said that this marriage would continue in name only.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart pounded wildly when she heard such a straightforward and affectionate attitude.¡±But¡­But when we got married, it was just a temporary measure¡­lt¡¯s not like you and I¡­ She wanted to say that there was no love between the two of them. This marriage was not built on love. However, when she saw the warm and mellow light in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, she suddenly could not continue. Moreover, Anhao knew very well that if Zuo Hancheng really wanted her, he could have her easily. He already respected her a lot. Whether it was because of her age and her personal situation, or for other reasons, he had never really done anything overboard to her. Moreover, he had helped her a lot in this long time. This was not the second time he had saved her from the swamp. In the end, Anhao couldn¡¯t find a better reason, so she didn¡¯t dare to make a fuss and run away. After all, Shengling Group was starting to have employees coming in one after another. After all, this was his workplace, so she couldn¡¯t make any noise that she shouldn¡¯t. She could only continue to use the pillow to block between the two of them. Looking at the man on top of her, she said in a low voice,¡±l¡­l¡¯m not ready yet.¡± In this world of fast food and love, even getting into bed was like fast food. She couldn¡¯t find a more suitable reason, so she could only use this excuse that she hadn¡¯t prepared to temporarily avoid it. Zuo Hancheng looked at the woman beneath him. Her eyes were moving, and her eyes were flickering back and forth. She did not dare to look into his eyes. Her long eyelashes were trembling, and her pink face was slightly flushed. Her hands were tightly gripping the pillow between the two of them, as if the pillow was the only piece of driftwood she could hold. Her fair and tender hands were gripping the pillow tighter and tighter, revealing the nervousness and awkwardness in her heart. Fortunately, she was smart enough to know what to say and what not to say in such a dangerous situation. She did not provoke him or pretend to be innocent. Zuo Hancheng felt that this was what he admired about her. Although this girl was young, she was not stupid at all. In fact, she was smart. Anhao was pressed down by him like this, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. She did not dare to move, and Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He suddenly pulled the pillow between them away. She was so scared that she let out a small cry. Just as she was about to pull the pillow back, he lowered his head and kissed her lips to swallow her cry of surprise. He grabbed her raised hand and pressed it down with a slight force. The last time she helped him was at night. The hotel room was dark, and Zuo Hancheng was drunk and drugged. But now that both of them were awake, the moment her hand was pressed down, she quickly wanted to pull it back, but he held her down firmly and did not let her pull it back. Could it be that he still wanted her to use it so early in the morning¡­Should I use my hands? Chapter 91 - Chapter 91: Staying in the President’s Office (8) Chapter 91: Staying in the President¡¯s Office (8) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng did not care that her face was already so red that it was about to drip blood. The two of them were so close to each other that she was even more completely in his control and embrace. He held her waist tightly with one hand and pressed her hand firmly with the other. Although he didn¡¯t say anything and only kissed her passionately, his intentions were obvious. Anhao couldn¡¯t move under his body, and her hand was forced to reach down. She was extremely embarrassed, but she refused to give in. Even though she had helped him last time, it was still daytime and the two of them were in a place where she could not let go at all. She did not dare to move at all. She wanted to push him away a few times, but her strength was always subdued under his body. There was no room for resistance at all. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t be so mean¡­¡± She bit his lips and said with a red face. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes darkened.¡±How am I bad?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao blushed.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± His voice was faint. He was so calm and collected, but he actually used such an indifferent and domineering tone in broad daylight! Anhao was so angry that she wanted to bite him, but he took the opportunity to swallow her lips and tongue even deeper, so that she didn¡¯t even have the chance to fight back. The two of them continued to kiss. Anhao¡¯s hand didn¡¯t want to touch him, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t resist his strength. Just as she was about to compromise and reach her hand down, a dramatic scene happened again! Her phone rang again! Anhao took advantage of the moment when he froze and quickly pulled her hand back from his hand. She picked up the phone from the canvas bag on the table and looked at him. Then, she pointed at the phone again, signaling him to let go of her and get up to answer the call. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng turned around and saw that the name displayed on her phone was Qin Feng. She saw the veins on his forehead bulging, as if he would kill Qin Feng if he saw him again. Anhao grinned,¡±lt¡¯s a call from Teacher Qin¡­¡± Although the soundproofing in the lounge was not bad, the ringtone of the mobile phone was more obvious. The people outside could hear it clearly. Zuo Hancheng could not continue this no matter what. In the end, he could only stand up. The darkness in his eyes indicated the raging anger in his heart. This anger should be directed at Qin Feng. Anhao suddenly felt that she should remind Qin Feng to pray for his own good. As Zuo Hancheng let go of her, Anhao sat up and picked up the phone. ¡°Hello, Teacher Qin.. ¡°Anhao, did you text me last night? Because I¡¯ve been tutoring you very late recently, I went to bed very early last night. I only saw the message now.¡± ¡± Yeah, I sent a text last night, but I¡¯m fine now. Ms. Qin, you can come and tutor me after I finish my evening self-study today.¡±¡® ¡°Alright, see you tonight.¡± ¡°Okay, see you tonight.¡± Anhao hung up the phone and looked up at Zuo Hancheng. He was standing by the window with his back facing her. He was unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time. However, it was obvious that he was not going to do anything to her, but because he had been doing this for a while, his shirt was already wrinkled. He couldn¡¯t go out like this during working hours. He had to change his clothes. Anhao sat on the bed and looked at the back of the man as the sunlight shone through the gaps between the curtains onto him. The man stood against the light. His tall and slender figure and his perfect side profile under the light made her heart skip a beat. ¡°Anhao¡­This unexpected marriage has exceeded my expectations.¡± He had said this before. Actually, to Anhao, all of this had exceeded her expectations. She had never thought that she would have so much to do with Zuo Hancheng. Whether it was in the Gilt Scenic Garden, here, or the school, everything that had happened over the years had exceeded her expectations. She knew that everything about this man was attracting her little by little. A woman would never be able to resist a man like Zuo Hancheng. Even though Anhao knew that Yi Zeyang had been hiding in her heart for so many years, with the engagement of the person in her heart and her inexplicable marriage, some things were changing little by little. However, if the person she married was an ordinary man, perhaps she would still dare to consider and hope for something else. However, he was Zuo Hancheng. She had clearly learned five years ago that she should not fight for something that she could not fight for. She should not have extravagant hopes when she knew that it was not hers. This way, he would suffer fewer injuries and suffer some disappointment. Anhao stood up from the bed and coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shirt was a little messy and the atmosphere was a little gloomy. It was obvious that he was depressed because of his lack of desires early in the morning. She watched as he went into the bathroom. When he came out of the shower and changed his clothes, Anhao had already run to another resting room. It was Tuesday, and she had already missed her classes yesterday afternoon. Anhao was now determined to make herself proud even if she didn¡¯t have to steam a bun, so nothing could stop her from studying. She hurriedly went to the restroom next door to wash up. When Mobai came into the office to look for Zuo Hancheng, she quietly picked up her canvas bag and left. Sitting on the bus, Anhao still felt her hands burning. She had insisted on not touching him this morning¡­However, he kept holding her hand and when he pressed down forcefully, she felt his palm burning. That kind of rolling. The scalding force was still on her hand, and she could still feel the residual warmth. In Anhao¡¯s 20 years of life, there was only Yi Zeyang, who had been hidden in her heart for many years. She was young and inexperienced, and she had never experienced any real feelings. Yi Zeyang was her first love, but it was only one-sided. She suddenly realized that when she faced a man as outstanding and mature as Zuo Hancheng, she really had no resistance at all. Even though she was sober enough, as she sat on the bus and looked at the cars passing by slowly and the city scenery on the roadside, she felt that her mind was constantly reflecting the gentleness and smiles that he had been showing her recently. In her impression, the Zuo Hancheng she met for the first time was distant and cold. Even when he went to the police station to help her, he did so as her husband. At that time, he was a gentleman and polite. It was only when she sent the wine to the wrong place that their relationship changed from being distant and polite to a real communication. After that¡­ She did not know when she had gotten used to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s presence. When the principal came to look for Zuo Hancheng, her worry turned into relief. She did not know when it started, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile towards her was no longer just polite. His faint smile somehow contained a meaning that she gradually could not understand.. Chapter 92 - Chapter 92: How Can You Be So Wilful (1) Chapter 92: How Can You Be So Wilful (1) Translator: 549690339 It was just like that day at the nightclub when he kissed her lightly on the corner of her lips. It was just like the next day when he said that he was starting to be very interested in her. Just like how he was willing to eat instant noodles with her in the cafeteria yesterday, just like how he had whispered in her ear when he kissed her in the morning that everything had exceeded his expectations¡­ Anhao¡¯s mind was in a mess. It was filled with everything about Zuo Hancheng and she almost missed her stop. When she saw that she had reached her stop, she hurriedly got out of the car and ran to school. Today, she did not see Yi Zeyang¡¯s car parked at the school gate like usual. She noticed something was wrong but tried hard to ignore it. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Yi Zeyang walking out of the school gate with a folder and a few files. When Yi Zeyang came out, he was holding those things in one hand and his phone in the other. He seemed to be on the phone. Anhao turned to the side and hid in a dark corner. When Yi Zeyang wasn¡¯t paying attention to her while he was on the phone, she secretly looked over. It was not until Yi Zeyang got into another car parked outside the school gate. It was a commercial car. From the license plate number, it was obvious that it was a special car for the Yi Group¡¯s higher-ups. It was not until the car drove away that Anhao walked out from the corner. Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t drive to A High School today. After he left, he directly got into the Yi Corporation¡¯s car. Had he finished his job as a guest professor at A High School for less than a month? The folder and documents that he had just taken away were the ones he had used for the past month? Anhao stared at the car that was getting further and further away until she heard the school bell ring. The principal was indeed a man of his word. He took advantage of Anhao¡¯s break and self-study time to call her to the office and find two of the most experienced teachers in the school to tutor her. Anhao wanted to improve her grades now, so she didn¡¯t reject him. However, she became unusually busy because of this. Chunchun and Huang Amao were also affected by her recent mood for studying. It was rare that they didn¡¯t skip classes all day and instead stayed in the classroom with Anhao to read obediently. In the afternoon, Anhao went back to the dorm to write her own practice papers after lunch. Huang Amao and Chunchun watched her while eating melon seeds. ¡°Anhao, you can¡¯t be so serious, right? You said you wanted to improve your grades because you made a bet with someone else, but now you¡¯re working so hard just because you¡¯re not convinced by Han Rut s provocation the other day. The exam is in nineteen days. You¡¯re making things difficult for yourself by cramming at the last minute.¡± Anhao said casually as she wrote the paper,¡±¡±You and Chunchun can read a few novels a day. Although there are many courses in the three years of high school, there are only a few dozen books in total. I read a little more every day, and with the help of teachers and tutors, nineteen days is enough.¡± Seeing that she was serious, Huang Amao and Chunchun had no choice but to stop disturbing her. However, they still carefully took away the pile of snacks on the dormitory desk to avoid occupying space. When Anhao played the English listening class on her phone, she had no choice but to take out her English book and read along. The most foul dormitory in A High School had become a base for top students¡­ If Auntie Su Guan saw this scene, she would definitely think that the sun had risen from the west. After spending a few days in school and going to Shengling Group at night, it was finally the weekend. At the same time, the renovation of Liujing Garden was completed on Friday morning. After the house in Liu Jing Garden had been cleaned, Anhao felt that it was necessary to call Zuo Hancheng back to the newly renovated house for a meal. Especially when she went to the second floor of the renovated house to take a look, she really couldn¡¯t wait to move in directly. However, the problem of the Formalwater in the newly renovated house made her very distressed. After looking up some information on the Internet, he decided to contact a company that specialized in removing formalin to shorten the waiting time. He also prepared a bunch of pineapple skins and other folk prescriptions and placed them in every corner of the house. Zuo Hancheng had just left the meeting of the Municipal New Construction Association. He received a call from Gu Anhao as soon as he walked out of the city hall. Mobai was checking the documents that he had just brought out. He looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng, who was walking in front of him, checking the time after he took the phone. He could not help but ask, ¡°¡±President Zuo, do you have any plans for tonight?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡± Gu Anhao has been working hard on the house in Liu Jing Garden for a few days,¡± Zuo Hancheng replied.¡± Now that it¡¯s completed, she wants me to go back and take a look.¡±¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll inform them to temporarily postpone the arrangements with Zhubang Company tonight?¡±Mobai asked. ¡°Let¡¯s postpone it. The little girl is very excited. If we don¡¯t go back, it will probably dampen her spirits.¡±Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly. The two of them walked to the parking lot in front of the City Hall. When Zuo Hancheng got into the car, Mobai followed suit and picked up a sealed folder on the passenger seat. Mobai hesitated for a moment before saying,¡± A few days ago, Miss Gu told you the reason why she got into a fight with her classmates. She said that her classmates and Gu Shishi insulted her about her mother.¡± I contacted Mr. Wenner again. I didn¡¯t expect him to be so fast. He had only returned to the country for a few days and had already investigated Miss Gu¡¯s background and a series of situations related to her.¡± Hearing Mobai¡¯s words, Zuo Hancheng raised his evebrows and glanced at him. Mobai handed the folder in his hand over.¡±¡±President Zuo, this is the information about Miss Gu that Mr. Wenner found out. I should have handed it to you this morning, but because the City Hall is a little urgent, I left it in the car.¡± Mobai was surprised to find out that Gu Anhao had married President Zuo more than two months ago on the last page after receiving Gu Anhao¡¯s information. If Wenner was not so good at investigating people, Zuo Hancheng would not have asked Wenner to investigate Gu Anhao. However, Wenner was so good that he managed to find out that Gu Anhao was married. President Zuo was even Gu Anhao¡¯s husband. This was something that Mobai had never expected. Now, he suddenly felt that introducing Qin Feng to Anhao as a tutor might have angered President Zuo. Although President Zuo had not shown any displeasure towards him recently, Mobai¡¯s heart was still in his throat when he found Anhao a male tutor. He felt that this was the stupidest decision he had made in his career. Zuo Hancheng took the folder. The chauffeur had already started driving, and Mobai did not say anything else. He flipped open the first page of the folder. On it were all the photos of Gu Anhao from kindergarten until now. In the yellowed color photo, the young Anhao had a pair of big round eyes and long hair since she was young. Her mother, An Ping, doted on her like a little princess and combed her hair in different styles every day. The Anhao in the photo had always loved to smile since she was young¡­ There were even a few photos where Anhao acted coquettishly and asked Yi Zeyang to carry her on his back. The way she looked with Yi Zeyang made her look even more delighted, as if she had gotten the happiness of the whole world.. Chapter 93 - Chapter 93: You Can Even Bite on This (2) Chapter 93: You Can Even Bite on This (2) Translator: 549690339 When he saw Yi Zeyang in the photo, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change. He was not surprised at all. He slowly flipped through it until all the information about Anhao was presented before his eyes. At the age of three, she won the first prize in A City¡¯s children¡¯s drawing competition. At the age of three and a half, she won the first prize in the National Infant Brain Development Test. At the age of seven, he was the champion of the art appreciation competition for pre-school children. His grades in primary school were among the best in six years. He was admitted to XX Junior High School, the best school in A City, with excellent school selection scores. He was the first in the first year of junior high school. He dropped out of school for a year, and his grades plummeted. The good boy that the teacher said became a little devil that everyone hated. He caused trouble all day long, bickering with the teacher, and only wrote his name on the test paper during the exam. He didn¡¯t answer a single question and just picked up his bag and left. In the end, all the major colleges were unwilling to accept her. Mayor Gu Tianming sent her to A High School, and her total score for the three years of high school was zero. The evaluation page for Gu Anhao was full of negative comments, and all the teachers mocked her every word. Regarding Anhao¡¯s mother, Anping had a grudge with Gu Tianming, including bringing Anping and the child in her stomach to marry into the Yi family twenty years ago. Anhao lived in the Yi family for more than ten years. When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, Yi Zeyang went abroad to stay. In the same year, the mother and daughter were chased out of the Yi family. Two months later, Anhao was sent to the Gu family by Anping. The time Anping passed away was the time Anhao was taken in by Gu Tianming. At the bottom of the page, there was a test report of Anping¡¯s last visit to the hospital before she died. An acute lung tumor. After that year, Anhao cut off her long hair and looked like a completely different person. In the later photos, she no longer had a bright and energetic smile on her face. Instead, her eyes shone with an unruly light, like a little devil. Overnight, she went from being the stepdaughter of Yi Wei to the mayor¡¯s daughter. However, her clothes were getting older and older. Most of the time, she only wore a school uniform. In some of the later photos, Anhao¡¯s face often had some bruises and injuries. Those injuries were obviously not caused by her fighting at school. In the back of the information, it was shown that Anhao was hospitalized when she was 16 years old because her ribs were broken. The diagnosis showed that the reason for her rib fracture was not caused by a foreign object, but was caused by someone. Who could be so cruel to a sixteen-year-old girl? A sixteen-year-old with broken ribs? Zuo Hancheng stared at the medical report and the picture of Anhao lying on the ICU bed with bandages wrapped around her body. The screenshot of the surveillance video showed that she was the only one lying quietly in the picture. No one came to visit her in the ward, and the table in the ward was clean. There was not even a plate of fruit, which meant that no one had come to visit her. There were also detailed statements from the hospital staff that Wenner had specially investigated. The doctor said that Anhao seemed to have been pushed down from the second floor of the villa by her family. There were signs of injuries and fractures all over her body. Her ribs were injured by Mrs. Gu using a vase. She stayed in the ICU for more than ten days before she was out of danger. After that, she recuperated in the hospital for more than three months before she was discharged. During this period, no one from the Gu family came to the hospital to see her. Only Gu Tianming sent a few assistants to settle the surgery and hospital procedures in order to calm the matter down. If the person who investigated these matters was not Wenner, the news that the Gu family had deliberately suppressed would naturally not be exposed. However, it was precisely because Wenner had taken action that the truth hidden under the calm surface could be fully revealed. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word as he read the information in his hands. He was sure that he had made the right choice by deliberately letting Wenner come back to investigate this matter, but he did not expect that the so-called truth hidden under the Gu family was actually bullying and hurting an innocent girl. Mobai sat in the front passenger seat and looked at Zuo Hancheng through the rearview mirror. After Zuo Hancheng flipped through the documents, he silently closed the folder. Mobai believed that President Zuo was just as shocked as he was. No one would have thought that Gu Anhao, the little girl who was always smiling, would have such an encounter. Furthermore, she had a normal and beautiful life when she was young, but it had plummeted at the age where she should be sensible. This was a difference that any child could not bear. However, she gritted her teeth and walked over. She even looked like she was living a good life, but who would have thought that her life in the Gu family was actually a dark one. Nineteen years old. That Gu Anhao was only a nineteen-year-old little girl. Mobai saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold, but he did not say a word. Even though he had received a few urgent messages from the company on his phone, which were related to the decision that President Zuo had to make immediately, Mobai knew what was good for him and didn¡¯t disturb him. Instead, he turned his phone to silent mode. Boiled durian is a boon How to cook durian ¡°Ah, I found it!¡± Anhao was sitting at home with her computer, looking up various ways to quickly eliminate the smell of formalin after renovation. One of them said that cooking durians could quickly eliminate the smell of formalin. Moreover, it was said that after the durian was boiled, the smell emitted could absorb the absorption of the. The two kinds of smell would counteract each other and disappear at the same time. In short, she had already used all the methods she had searched for, so she did not care about this one anymore. Hence, Anhao put down her computer and rushed out of Liujing Garden. She went to the large supermarket opposite to buy a big durian and brought it home. Those people on the Internet said that putting the durian in a pot and steaming it would allow the smell of the durian to spread completely¡­ Anhao fiddled with the grains in the kitchen for a long time before finally putting the durian into the pot. Half an hour later- Zuo Hancheng returned to the company and drove back to Liu Jing Garden alone. Just as he reached his house, he suddenly saw a few people covering their noses and looking in the direction of his apartment. Their eyes were filled with disgust and suspicion. When he got out of the car, it was as if he could smell a¡­An indescribable taste¡­ The few neighbors who were covering their noses outside saw him parking his car here and recognized him as the owner of this apartment. Seeing that he seemed to have just returned from outside, they could not help but say in surprise,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, what¡¯s going on at your house?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly because of the smell in the air. He was also puzzled. There were even a few young men covering their noses and whispering,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me they¡¯re cooking¡­ %#& amp;amp;amp;.. Let¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, this smell is so scary¡­ I feel like the entire Liujing Garden is about to be covered by this smell¡­¡± The neighbor¡¯s sense of smell was in pain, but because he could see that Mr. Zuo¡¯s expression was not any better, he did not dare to come up and say anything.. Chapter 94 - Chapter 94: How Can You Be So Wilful (3) Chapter 94: How Can You Be So Wilful (3) Translator: 549690339 In the end, Zuo Hancheng walked in. The moment he opened the door, the smell that assaulted his nose made him feel that the road to his home was very difficult for the first time in his life. The culprit, Gu Anhao, was leaning against the window with no less than four layers of a mask on her face. She was trying her best to stretch her neck to breathe in the fresh air, as if she was about to suffocate. The smell in the room was strong and pungent, and Zuo Hancheng immediately had a headache. ¡°Cough¡­You¡¯re back?¡± Anhao heard the sound of the door opening and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng standing at the door with an ugly expression on his face. It was obvious that the smell in the room made him hesitate to enter. She quickly turned around. Even though she was wearing four layers of masks, she still felt uncomfortable. ¡°What? If you think the smell is too bad, let¡¯s change places tonight. I don¡¯t think we can stay here today.¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked around and realized that the smell was coming from the kitchen. ¡°I¡¯m cooking durians!¡± Anhao blinked innocently. ¡°Boiled durian?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face instantly darkened.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, have you been cramming your brain recently? What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± I didn¡¯t expect the taste to be so¡­¡± It¡¯s exaggerated, okay¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng walked into the kitchen with a dark expression. He endured the smell and walked into the kitchen. When he saw the things in the pot, he went forward and turned off the stove. At the same time, he took out the durian from the pot and threw it into the trash bag. He picked up the bag and turned to leave. Anhao didn¡¯t stop him, because she was already so intoxicated that she didn¡¯t know if this method would really work. It seemed that the answers on the Internet that said ¡®I know¡¯ and ¡®I know¡¯ couldn¡¯t be trusted so easily¡­ She pinched her nose and followed him out. Only then did she realize that there were already quite a number of neighbors standing outside, looking in their direction. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. He walked outside with the bag and threw it into the trash can. Anhao walked out of the door and nodded at the neighbors.¡±¡±l¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I was cooking durian just now. This taste might have caused you to misunderstand something¡­Don¡¯t think too much¡­ I¡¯m just cooking durians¡­¡± The neighbors looked at her speechlessly. When they saw the durian in the bag beside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand, they thought that no one would be so stupid as to cook that thing, but it turned out to be real! Due to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s presence, the group of people did not dare to complain anymore. They only chatted for a while before they dispersed. However, the neighbors drove out as soon as they returned home. It was obvious that they could not stay in Liu Jing Garden tonight. The smell would only dissipate by tomorrow morning. Anhao did not have the courage to go back into the house. She stood at the door and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ugly expression. She said awkwardly, found it online. They said that cooking durian can effectively remove the formalin¡­l just gave it a try¡­Unexpectedly¡­The taste will be so¡­¡± Now, even if someone said that she was cooking sh * t, Anhao would probably agree to it. However, she did not want to embarrass herself in front of Zuo Hancheng! Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, you¡¯re not a child. You should find a professional cleaning company to remove the Formalide. Do you need me to tell you this common sense?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted that kind of company, but I¡¯m in a hurry. I want to try to find some folk prescriptions that can get rid of it faster. That way, I can move in earlier¡­¡± Anhao lowered her head, looking as if she knew she was wrong. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Fu¡¯s apartment was definitely one of the most expensive apartments in A City. Although the decoration on the first floor was simple, it was absolutely exquisite. This was originally a simple and quiet private space that belonged to him. She had spent half a month renovating the second floor. Now, almost the entire community was filled with that smell. Anhao could no longer find the words to explain and calm the anger in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart. She could only twist her hands together.¡±l won¡¯t go online to look up those things again. They¡¯re all lies.¡± Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows and looked at her aggrieved expression. He did not say anything else.¡±¡±Go pack your things. Get the cleaning company to come over and deal with it in the next few days.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao nodded obediently and was about to turn around to get her stuff when she thought about it and turned back to say,¡¯¡±¡®Actually, I didn¡¯t bring much back either. I was too excited about the renovation of the house and planned to rest for the day, so I didn¡¯t bring my books and bag back. I don¡¯t want to go in now¡­l won¡¯t take anything¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng pursed his lips, turned around, and got into the car. Anhao quickly got into the car as well. At the same time, she took off her mask and turned to look at him with a smile.¡±l¡¯m sorry. I ruined a good house like this¡­¡± ¡°I should thank God that you didn¡¯t burn the kitchen.¡± Zuo Hancheng said and immediately turned the car around, driving out of the Gilt Scenery Garden. Anhao stuck out her tongue.¡± That¡¯s not necessary. At least I can cook noodles and egg fried rice. It¡¯s not to the extent that I can¡¯t even figure out a gas stove. However, I did do something like burning the kitchen down when I was twelve¡­¡± As she spoke, she raised her hand and rubbed her nose in embarrassment. She felt that today was really embarrassing. Hearing her mention her childhood, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression softened a lot. In the end, he did not say anything more. After the car left Liu Jing Garden, they drove to a nearby hotel. She didn¡¯t expect that she would have to stay in a hotel after renovating the house. After Zuo Hancheng booked a room, the two of them were in the elevator. Anhao complained, ¡°¡±Isn¡¯t it said that rich people are usually cunning and have a lot of real estate? A big CEO like you wouldn¡¯t only have a house like the Liu Jing Garden, right?¡± ¡°I do have quite a few residences in the United States. After returning to China, I have been working hard to stabilize the company¡¯s development in Asia for the past five years, so I usually live in the company or occasionally go back to Liu Jing Garden to stay. Do you think I have time to choose a house for myself?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently. ¡°You have the nerve to complain?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched.¡± I¡¯m not complaining. I¡¯m saying that according to the plot of the CEO¡¯s novel that I read, you should be bringing me to a garden villa now. Then, there will be a bunch of butlers and servants standing in the villa, bowing and bowing to you as they call you Young Master. Then, you will introduce me to them and tell them that I will be the Young Madam of this family in the future. Then, you will let me live there in the future¡­¡± Anhao snorted as she spoke,¡¯¡±¡®Who knew that he would come to a hotel!¡± ¡°Do you think you¡¯re born in a fairytale?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and asked.¡± ¡°President, shouldn¡¯t a president be someone who lives in a story? The kind who can casually buy a plane worth billions as a toy for his wife.¡±Anhao continued to complain. Actually, she was not dissatisfied with the fact that she was going to stay in the hotel.. She was just dissatisfied that Zuo Hancheng only booked one room! Chapter 95 - Chapter 95: How Can You Be So Wilful (4) Chapter 95: How Can You Be So Wilful (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng snorted and suddenly took out a USB flash drive and handed it to her. Anhao turned around and looked at the USB flash drive in his hand. She was so shocked that she jumped up in the elevator and quickly reached out to snatch the USB flash drive back. ¡°Why is it with you?¡± ¡°Give it back to me!¡± she shouted as she reached out to snatch it.¡± ¡°You dropped it in my office.¡± Zuo Hancheng only raised his hand slightly, and Anhao, who was only 1.6 meters tall, could not touch the thing in his hand at all. Anhao was so angry that she wanted to bite him.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not let her take it back. He played with the small USB in his hand and said,¡¯¡±¡®CEO novels, right? Are you referring to the dozens of hot novels that are stored in your USB drive? The kind where the male lead, as the CEO, pounced on the female lead and raped her? The kind of sex scenes that could make people angry and even be compared to banned books?¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned red. The moment the elevator door opened, Zuo Hancheng walked out with her USB drive. She hurriedly followed him and jumped up to snatch the USB drive back. Finally, she managed to snatch it back. Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand, lest she really came up to bite him. Anhao clenched the USB drive in her hand and glared at him.¡±¡± These are all novels that Chunchun likes to read. Once, she said that she downloaded a lot of H-novels, so I joined in the fun and asked her to save a few for me and put them in a folder¡­ ¡°Hmm, then those erotic novels in your USB drive, including a few erotic cartoons, were all sent to you by that girl called Chunchun?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao rolled her eyes. Yes, I am.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I suggest that you cut ties with those two young ladies.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°You slandered your friends behind their backs when you encountered something. Are you sure they are your best friends and not your enemies?¡± Anhao glared at him angrily.¡± Chunchun sent it to me in the first place. This isn¡¯t slander!¡± It¡¯s something that the three of us have seen before, okay? This was called sharing resources! Do you understand?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Are you girls just locked up in your dorms and sitting together to watch these kinds of H-comics?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°More or less.¡± Anhao lowered her head, feeling as if she had been dragged over by Zuo Hancheng to talk about life. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. He opened the door and walked in. Anhao took two deep breaths and followed him in. As soon as the door was closed and the lights in the room were turned on, a black shadow flashed in front of her. Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned around and pressed her against the door. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Anhao was shocked. ¡°Yesterday, I casually glanced through the novel in your USB drive. In the first chapter, the male lead directly pressed the female lead against the door and raped her. Or do you like another type? Tied to the bed?¡± Anhao instantly had goosebumps all over her body.¡±None of them!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to compare life with novels? Why don¡¯t you want it now?¡± Zuo Hancheng pinched her chin, his warm breath brushing against her ear.¡±¡±No wonder you have such rich experience at such a young age¡­¡± Anhao wanted to cry but had no tears. She pushed him with her hands.¡±Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m warning you, don¡¯t mess around!¡± The man who pressed her against the door stared at her face with a deep gaze. He suddenly kissed her ear and said softly, ¡°You really don¡¯t want to try?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already accepted your irrational setting. Don¡¯t you want to try?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to, I don¡¯t want to, I don¡¯t want to! Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t pinch my waist! The durian smell on my body hasn¡¯t gone away yet. Are you sure you can eat it? Let me go!¡± Indeed, Anhao still had a faint durian scent on her. Durian. Zuo Hancheng hated fruits the most. Perhaps it was the durian smell that had taken effect, but he still let go of her. Anhao took the opportunity to dash into the bathroom. As she took off her coat, she thought for a moment before suddenly turning her head and shouting outside,¡±¡±Can you help me call the nearby mall and get someone to send me a set of clothes? It didn¡¯t have to be too expensive. Any set of female sportswear would do.¡± There was no response from outside, but Anhao believed that Zuo Hancheng had heard it. Therefore, she threw her clothes aside and lay in the bathtub, comfortably washing away her fatigue. Not long after, there was a knock on the bathroom door. Anhao pricked up her ears to listen. After a while, there were two knocks on the bathroom door. ¡°Leave the clothes outside.¡± ¡® Okay, thanks!¡± Anhao smiled and replied before continuing to lie in the jacutub. Suddenly, the image of Zuo Hancheng reading the H-novels and H-comics in her USB flashed across her mind. In the end, she shook her head hurriedly and did not dare to imagine that image again. After enjoying herself enough, Anhao got up and washed the foam off her body. She wrapped herself in a towel and walked to the bathroom door to open it. She saw that her clothes were placed on the wine cabinet opposite the bathroom door, but Zuo Hancheng was not outside. She took her clothes and went back to the bathroom. She dried her hair and changed her clothes before going out. This set of clothes seemed to be the latest designs from the few boutiques in the nearby shopping mall. The color was so pink that she was a little uncomfortable, but she had to admit that it was quite suitable for her age. When she wore it, she gave off a particularly fresh little girl¡¯s feeling. In addition, Anhao¡¯s hair had grown a little longer recently. After drying her hair, she walked out and rubbed her hair. She saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the window and looking out at the night view. They were on the 25th floor of the hotel, and they could indeed see most of A City¡¯s night view. Anhao walked over and said,¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s only past eight o¡¯clock now. I¡¯ll go downstairs to get a haircut later, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around to look at her and saw her rubbing her hair uncomfortably. ¡°You don¡¯t plan to grow your hair?¡± he asked calmly. Anhao pursed her lips.¡± I¡¯m used to having short hair for so many years. I haven¡¯t cut it for the past few months. Now that it¡¯s grown so much, I¡¯m not used to it. I want to trim it¡­ Zuo Hancheng looked at her for a while and did not say anything at first. When Anhao took out her phone to look at the time, he slowly said,¡±Anhao, let your hair grow out.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Anhao raised her head. The Gu Anhao in front of him was the one that she had deliberately changed over the past five years. She had short hair, was stubborn, and her personality had changed drastically. However, the image of her smiling brightly in the flowers with her long hair tied in braids was still lingering in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mind. ¡°Cutting off your hair doesn¡¯t mean that you can completely forget the past, nor can you really prove anything. Why do you have to torture yourself into that state?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand had already caressed her gently. Soft hair. Indeed, Anhao¡¯s hair had already grown a lot below her ears. In another half a year, she could basically get a simple hairstyle that was suitable for girls nowadays, and it was more and more like her original appearance. Anhao¡¯s face turned pale because of his words.. She suddenly took a step back and asked with a pale face, ¡°Did you investigate me?¡± Chapter 96 - Chapter 96: How Can You Be So Wilful (5) Chapter 96: How Can You Be So Wilful (5) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng had already put down his hand when Anhao stepped back. He did not deny it. Indeed, he had investigated her. Anhao wasn¡¯t actually surprised. That time, she was drunk and made a scene at home for so long that she was almost forced to tell him about her childhood. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng did not have the heart to let her continue to open up her wound. He did not let her continue, but he was Zuo Hancheng. He would probably find the answer himself and find out the truth, including her relationship with Yi Zeyang. She should have thought of all this long ago. However, these were not things that Anhao should be thinking about now. Anyway, she had never deliberately hidden these things in the past. It was just that suddenly someone saw all her wounds, and this person was her so-called husband. It made her feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. But¡­ ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about this. I¡¯m hungry. ¡°Anhao rubbed her stomach.¡± To make up for my hurt heart, you have to treat me to something delicious.¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng chuckled. This girl¡¯s self-adjustment ability was indeed impressive. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Anyway, the food in the hotel is not delicious. There are also some western food or big restaurants near the hotel, but it doesn¡¯t seem to taste good. I saw a food stall in the small alley not far away in the car just now. Since I¡¯ve already treated you to instant noodles, do you want to treat me to food now?¡± ¡°Eating instant noodles with you is just an exception. It doesn¡¯t mean that I allow you to eat junk food often.¡± Anhao was stunned. She had almost forgotten that the man in front of her was the one who had said that he would discipline her for the rest of her life. She pursed her lips.¡±But I want to eat. I see that there are quite a lot of people in that food stall. Moreover, it¡¯s opened in such a bustling area. It should be very clean. Why don¡¯t you treat me to a meal at the food stall? It¡¯s winter now, and many foods won¡¯t rot easily, so it must be very clean Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows.¡± Do you think I¡¯ve been spoiling you lately and that I¡¯m becoming more and more coquettish?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°I really want to eat it¡­¡± Anhao reached out and tugged at his shirt sleeve. She looked at him with her big eyes and shook his sleeve. ¡°I really want to eat food stalls¡­ ¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He pulled her hand away and held it in his palm. He looked at her for a while and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°Yay!¡± Anhao smiled proudly and turned around to run out quickly.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go to the food stall!¡± The so-called food stalls were nothing more than those stalls selling barbecued seafood, spicy skewers, and so on. It wasn¡¯t certain if it was sanitary or not, but the taste was Anhao¡¯s favorite. She had ordered quite a lot of food, but most of it was seafood. Zuo Hancheng had endured the instant noodles last time, but he could not tolerate the grilled seafood on the table. He only ate a few mouthfuls with her before putting down his chopsticks and allowing her to eat happily in front of him, patiently waiting for her to finish. The most appropriate thing to do when eating at a food stall was to drink a glass of beer. However, with Zuo Hancheng present, Anhao did not have the courage to ask for a drink. She could only gulp down the fruit juice. She was happiest when she was full. Seeing Anhao in such a good mood as she ate at the food stall, Zuo Hancheng suddenly felt that it was not a bad idea to hire a few chefs who specialized in seafood to change her taste from time to time. When they were about to settle the bill, Anhao suddenly cupped her face and looked at Zuo Hancheng obediently. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Look at how pitiful I¡¯m being bullied by you now. Can my daily allowance be increased to 50 yuan?¡± She thought that Zuo Hancheng would still make things difficult for her, but she did not expect him to say,¡±¡±Sure.¡± ¡°So straightforward?¡± Anhao was surprised. Could it be a conspiracy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m considering the feasibility of raising it to 50 yuan based on your appetite. Combined with your recent appetite, 30 yuan is indeed not enough for you.¡± Anhao was furious. As expected, he was trying to say that she had a big appetite. It was because she liked to eat at food stalls that she couldn¡¯t help but order a little more. She couldn¡¯t control herself and ate too much. Now, he was so full that he could not straighten his back. In the end, he could only endure his belly that was about to explode and walk in the snow beside Big Boss Zuo. Initially, Anhao felt that although her house was in a mess, she was still able to go out to eat at the food stall with Zuo Hancheng and walk in the snow. She thought of a saying that she had read in the past: ¡®On a snowy day, I¡¯ll walk side by side with you. Will I be able to walk all the way until my hair turns white?¡¯ However, this romance she thought she had didn¡¯t last long. At two o¡¯clock in the middle of the night, Anhao sat weakly on the sofa in the hotel room because of her frequent diarrhea. She looked at Zuo Hancheng with a pale face and a deep frown. ¡°Is it that serious?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked over and placed his hand on her face. Anhao¡¯s face was already sweating profusely, but it was still cold. Her face was white and green, and she looked like she was in a bad condition. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m going to die¡­¡± Anhao had a weak expression on her face as she pressed her face against his hand and sighed. ¡°My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts¡­lt hurts everywhere¡­lt was so uncomfortable¡­And¡­ And¡­ I¡¯m so disgusting¡­¡± In the cold wind at the end of December, Anhao was carried out of the hotel by Zuo Hancheng. She was driven all the way to City A¡¯s Central Hospital, where she was admitted to the emergency room. The final result was that Anhao had eaten too many unclean things, and she had eaten too much. The raw and cold food were uneven, and the omnivorous food restrained each other. Although it was not serious, Anhao¡¯s diarrhea and vomiting in the middle of the night were too serious. When she was sent to the hospital, she could not muster the strength to speak and was completely exhausted. After the doctor examined her, he prescribed her some medicine and put her on an IV drip. Finally, Anhao lay on the bed in the IV room and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting beside the bed with a cold expression. Zuo Hancheng sat by the bedside. Although he did not say anything, she could read the words ¡± he deserved it ¡± from his eyes. She was so angry that she raised her hand to cover her stomach and groaned.¡± Zuo Hancheng, you are not allowed to mock me. I swear I will never eat food stalls again. I will never eat too much again.. ¡°What time is it now?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked. Anhao looked at the time aggrievedly. ¡°Midnight, four more points, almost five.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly.¡± Ever since I went home, I was forced to bring you out to stay in a hotel because of your heroic act of cooking durians. I was tortured by you for ten hours, and now I¡¯m lying in the hospital with you on an IV drip. Gu Anhao, I really want to strangle you.¡±¡® Anhao was a patient now and she was feeling extremely uncomfortable. She felt that the worst she could do was this, so she mustered up her courage and raised her neck to face him.¡±Then, come and strangle me. The neck is right here..¡± Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: How Can You Be So Wilful (6) Chapter 97: How Can You Be So Wilful (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his hand, and she thought that he was really going to strangle her. She was so frightened that she let out a low cry and quickly retracted her neck. However, Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her stomach and stopped near it. The air in the injection room was very cold, and there was a slight warmth in his palm, which made her stomach feel much better. Seeing his actions, Anhao immediately fell silent¡­ ¡°Close your eyes and sleep. I¡¯ll call you when the injection is over.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm, but it did not allow her to resist. Anhao shut her mouth and looked at him, then at his hand on her stomach. In the end, she closed her eyes without saying a word. Anhao only slept for four hours. At around eight in the morning, she was woken up by the sounds of her family members as more and more patients came and went in the IV room. She should have finished her injection long ago, but Zuo Hancheng let her sleep for a while longer and did not wake her up. When Anhao opened her eyes, she saw Zuo Hancheng standing up to answer a call and was walking out. He seemed to be going outside to answer the call. Anhao sat up quietly. She felt that her stomach was no longer as uncomfortable after the drip, but she still wanted to go to the bathroom. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was on the phone, she did not want to bother him. She got up and got out of bed. When he was a little further away from the door, she turned around and walked out to look for the bathroom. The IV room was on the first floor. There were too many people on the first floor, and there were also quite a number of people standing outside the washroom. Anhao simply looked at the instructions on the hospital wall for a while before entering the elevator to look for the washroom on the fourth floor. Not long after, when she came out of the bathroom, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the consultation room next door. The world was really small. She had diarrhea and coincidentally bumped into Han Ru in the same hospital. ¡°It¡¯s been a few days since Xiao Ru¡¯s surgery. Why can¡¯t she be discharged? She said that she felt that there was no problem with her body and wanted to go home to rest. Why were you doctors so persistent in letting her stay in the hospital for a few more days?¡± ¡°Doctor, can¡¯t I go home and recuperate? Why do I have to be hospitalized? The smell of disinfectant in the hospital makes me lose my appetite every day. I want to go home¡­¡± The sound in the consultation room was intermittent and unclear. In less than two minutes, before Anhao could turn around and leave, Han Ru and her father had already walked out of the consultation room. The moment she saw Gu Anhao, who was a little pale, Han Ru glared at her as if she had seen her mortal enemy.¡±¡±Gu Anhao! Why are you here?¡± When Han Ru¡¯s father heard his daughter calling Gu Anhao¡¯s name, he turned to look at the little girl in front of him and frowned unhappily.¡±¡±You were the one who kicked our Xiaoru?¡± ¡°Dad, it¡¯s her!¡± Han Ru glared at Anhao and pointed at her.¡±¡±She¡¯s the one who put me in the operating theater and made me unable to be discharged!¡± Although the Yi family had already dealt with the matter, and the Han family did not plan to go to the school to make a fuss about it, Han Ru¡¯s father¡¯s expression still turned ugly when he saw the murderer who hurt his daughter appear in front of him. ¡°You¡¯re so young, but you¡¯re so ruthless. If it weren¡¯t for the Yi family, our Han family wouldn¡¯t have let it go so easily. You¡¯re so ruthless. I think you¡¯ll be a scum in society in another ten years.¡± Anhao listened without any expression. She didn¡¯t know much about the Han family, and she only hated Han Ru. As Han Ru¡¯s father, it wasn¡¯t strange for her to say something like that, so Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just looked at the father and daughter indifferently and turned to leave. Han Ru¡¯s sharp eyes suddenly noticed the medical tape on the back of Anhao¡¯s hand. She could tell that Anhao had come here for an injection, so she suddenly said in a particularly vicious tone,¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, could it be that you slept with some hooligan and accidentally got pregnant, so you came to the hospital to get an abortion? Otherwise, why did she look so pale and even go to the hospital for an injection?¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her coldly.¡±¡±So this is what the number one goddess of A High thinks about all day? I had diarrhea and came here for an injection, and you still think of so many stories? It seems that you were taken to the bar by those two bastards from the Xu family last time. It¡¯s not the first time you¡¯ve had an affair of adultery. So you¡¯ve already experienced these things?¡± Father Han was confused, but Han Ru suddenly shook off her father¡¯s hand and walked to Anhao. She gritted her teeth and glared at her.¡±Gu Anhao, do you believe that I will completely ruin your reputation?¡± Anhao sneered, ¡°Han Ru, did you forget what I said that day?¡± If you dare to say another word, do you believe that I will tear your mouth apart?¡± ¡°You!¡± Han Ru angrily raised her hand and pushed Anhao hard. Anhao had been exhausted from the previous night¡¯s incident, and she didn¡¯t expect Han Ru to be so arrogant in front of her father. She was so caught off guard that she stumbled backward and almost fell into the elevator that opened at the same time. The moment Zuo Hancheng stepped out of the elevator, he caught Anhao¡¯s falling body. He walked out to help her steady herself and was about to ask her why she had disappeared without a trace after waking up. At the same time, he noticed that she was staring ahead. He turned around and saw the girl named Han Ru glaring at Anhao with hatred. The two young girls were unwilling to give in to each other. ¡°What happened?¡± Zuo Hancheng held her shoulders and helped her stand firm. Anhao¡¯s gaze softened, and she lowered her head to avoid looking at Han Ru. She whispered, ¡®¡±¡®1 just came out to use the toilet. How did you find me?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see you when I got back to the injection room. I guessed that you came out to look for the bathroom.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he pulled her to his side and turned to look at Han Ru, who was a little surprised.¡±¡±Miss Han, you and Anhao were entangled in school, and now you want to do it again in the hospital?¡± Han Ru did not know the man in front of her, but the Han family was not a small family after all. Han Ru was also a person who had seen the world. She could tell that the man who suddenly appeared and protected Anhao by her side was not simple, but she never knew that Gu Anhao had such a person by her side. She looked at him in surprise and then looked at Anhao with anger and unwillingness in her eyes. Han Ru wanted to scold her again, but Father Han suddenly grabbed her daughter¡¯s shoulder and walked up to Zuo Hancheng politely.¡±¡±l didn¡¯t expect to see Mister Zuo here. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± Han Ru tugged at her father¡¯s sleeve in surprise and grumbled unhappily,¡±¡±Dad!¡± Father Han turned around and warned her in a low voice, ¡°Xiaoru, shut up first. This Gu An is not simple. The Yi family is enough for me.. Why didn¡¯t you tell me that she was related to Zuo Hancheng? Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: You Can Even Bite on This (7) Chapter 98: You Can Even Bite on This (7) Translator: 549690339 Han Ru was confused, but her father seemed to have mentioned the name Zuo Hancheng a long time ago. It seemed that she was someone the Han family had once wanted to rely on. However, Han Ru was only 18 years old. How could she care so much? She only muttered unwillingly, ¡°No matter what, I was injured by Gu Anhao! I¡¯m in the hospital because of her! You can¡¯t not stand up for me!¡± Father Han was helpless. He turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng lowering his head and saying something to Gu Anhao. It seemed like he really had a special relationship with Gu Anhao. He did not dare to offend her, so he could only smile and say,¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the two children to fight and the consequences would be so serious. However, my daughter is fine now. The Han family won¡¯t pursue her too much. It¡¯s fate to meet Mr. Zuo here.¡± ¡± Mr. Han,¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Mr. Han,¡± since you have such an attitude, I won¡¯t pursue the matter of the two children fighting with each other again.¡± Han Ru is your daughter. I suggest that you pay attention to your daughter¡¯s character at all times. You only pay attention to your child¡¯s academic performance but ignore her character. You failed to make her excellent both internally and externally. This is your dereliction of duty as a father.¡± Father Han nodded awkwardly. Anhao didn¡¯t want to argue with Han Ru in the hospital. She didn¡¯t have much strength left and was feeling very uncomfortable. She didn¡¯t want to stay here anymore. She stood beside Zuo Hancheng and tugged at his sleeve quietly.¡±l want to go back. I don¡¯t want to stay here.¡± Zuo Hancheng put his arm around her back and pressed the down button beside the elevator with his other hand. A minute later, he brought Anhao into the elevator without another word with the so-called relative of General Han. However, Han Ru and Father Han had seen what Zuo Hancheng had done. Han Ru opened her mouth in surprise. That one is called Zuo¡­ Left something¡­ Did he just hug Gu Anhao¡¯s waist? There was actually a man who wanted Gu Anhao?¡± Father Han frowned deeply and looked at his daughter behind him with a heavy gaze. It seemed that the Han family had provoked someone they should not have provoked¡­Hopefully, this matter would be settled so that nothing bad would happen in the future¡­Otherwise, this Zuo Hancheng was really a person who could not be easily offended¡­ Anhao stood in the quiet observation room of the hospital, looking out the window for a long time. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng standing there. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to the office today?¡± she asked in surprise. Didn¡¯t I just say that I¡¯ll be quiet here for a while and then go back to school? Why are you still here¡­¡± She saw Zuo Hancheng standing a few meters away. When she turned her head, his eyes were clear and dark. It seemed that he would stay there for as long as she stood there. Anhao was a little surprised. She thought of the quarrel between her and Han Ru, and instinctively thought that Zuo Hancheng wanted to teach her a lesson because she kept causing trouble. Thus, she placed her hands behind her back and said unnaturally, ¡®¡±¡®1 didn¡¯t expect to meet Han Ru at the hospital today. I didn¡¯t want to quarrel with her again, but just now, I¡­¡± ¡°After anything happens, you shouldn¡¯t explain yourself. If you¡¯re not wrong, you don¡¯t have to lower your head and say all this.¡±Zuo Hancheng replied calmly,¡± I didn¡¯t intend to question you.¡± Anhao immediately stopped talking and raised her head.¡±¡±Then how do you keep your name?¡± Still here?¡± Didn¡¯t he receive a call from the company just now? Didn¡¯t there be something in the company that required him to go over now? ¡°What were you thinking about just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked. This seemed to be the first time he had asked her about her thoughts so directly. She was standing in the small space where she was observing, in a place filled with the smell of disinfectant. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Anhao pursed her lips and said,¡± I just quarreled with Han Ru and felt uncomfortable, so I stood here and calmed down for a while. I didn¡¯t think about anything. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything for a while after he finished speaking. Anhao was also in a deadlock for a while. She looked up and saw that he had been looking at her. In fact, Anhao was the type of person who was unwilling to open her wound and show it to others. If she had not been interrogated by him because of Yi Zeyang, if Zuo Hancheng had not investigated her, she would rather be a heartless little girl in front of him. It didn¡¯t feel good to be seen through at a glance. Anhao didn¡¯t like to act weak. However, when she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze, she suddenly lowered her eyes and whispered,¡±¡±l¡¯m really nothing, I¡¯m just suddenly very envious of Han Ru.¡± No matter how pampered she was in private, her father would always educate her. He would tell her to do what she should do and not to do what she shouldn¡¯t do. Even if her father was rational and strict, it was still a sign of love.¡± Anhao suddenly smiled bitterly.¡±¡±After all, I¡¯ve never had the feeling of being pampered and educated by my father. Little time, easy home, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy uncle, easy At this point, she smiled again.¡± Actually, it¡¯s really nothing. It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been studying too much recently and my brain is not working well. That¡¯s why I suddenly become coquettish and think about these things. I¡¯ll be fine after I calm down for a while¡­¡± Suddenly, she smelled Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unique scent. She was stunned. He was already in his arms. His hand was on her head, and she was in his arms. His warm hand was caressing her head. Initially, Anhao felt that she was just a little emotional when she saw the father-daughter relationship between Han Ru and her father. She did not feel sad for herself. She had long since kicked the word ¡®sorrow¡¯ out of her dictionary. She would rather live a life that was not like herself than beg for sympathy all day long. But at this moment, she suddenly felt like crying. Her eyes were so sour that she wanted to cry. Anhao did not resist, nor did she try to escape from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace. She just suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with such a warm embrace that was only open to her. She did not know how long a little girl like her could have this man named Zuo Hancheng. She did not know how many more times she could be warmed by such an embrace. So she closed her eyes and buried her face in his chest obediently. However, she did not cry in the end. She only greedily breathed in the smell of his body and reached out to hug his waist. While the two of them were hugging, Anhao suddenly said sullenly in his arms,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, why are you suddenly so patient with me? You can actually tolerate my little girl¡¯s emotions. I thought you would despise me if I said it.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question. He simply held her in his arms quietly.. Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: You Can Even Bite on This (8) Chapter 99: You Can Even Bite on This (8) Translator: 549690339 Anhao leaned into his arms and continued to say gloomily,¡±¡±Women are usually the most sentimental during their period. You¡¯ve been so kind to me recently. Don¡¯t tell me that a man like you is also on your period?¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. She leaned into his embrace and breathed in his scent. Suddenly, she felt that she was really a little greedy for Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Although tears can¡¯t solve any problems, it¡¯s a good way for women to vent. I accept your tears and occasional fragility. In front of me, you don¡¯t have to wrap yourself in that thorny coat and cry whenever you want.¡± Anhao was speechless for a moment and buried her head in his chest. After taking a few deep breaths and building up her emotions, Anhao suddenly raised her head to look at him. ¡°But, but I can¡¯t cry¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze landed on her eyes. He realized that this girl was just in a low mood for a moment, but she did not look like she was about to cry. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. He let go of her and walked out of the observation room. It seemed like¡­ Well, it seemed¡­ It was as if he felt that his pitiful and heartbroken attitude had been wrongly paid to a little heartless person. He was very unhappy and embarrassed. Anhao stood in the observation room in a daze. She looked at the closed door in front of her and felt strange. Just now, Zuo Hancheng suddenly acted like he was the wind and he was the sand. Mia¡¯s gentle and watery look¡­ Could it be that she felt sorry for her? What did he find out? What did he find out about her past? The Yi family, the Gu family, her mother, and the changes she had made on the surface these past few years. Was he so resourceful that he could even find out about other things? On Monday, Anhao was in the teacher¡¯s office doing her class break when she suddenly heard a few third-year girls whispering in the corridor outside. ¡°Xiao Ya, your dad is the CEO of XX Real Estate. Will you be attending the year-end charity banquet in City A this Friday night?¡± ¡± I wonder if my father will bring me to that event. It¡¯s said that the big shots in the business and political circles will gather there. In the past, I was young and my father said that it was inconvenient for me to bring me to that kind of place. But now that I¡¯m already eighteen years old, I wonder if my father can bring me to that event¡­ ¡± That¡¯s right. It¡¯s said that most of the occasions are attended by female companions. Little Ya, I don¡¯t think your father will bring you there.¡± ¡°What about you? Your dad is the special secretary of the *********, are you going?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because my father said that it¡¯s not convenient for him to bring me there, so I asked you to see if there¡¯s any leeway. I want to beg him again. After all, I¡¯m already eighteen years old and haven¡¯t officially participated in such an event. I really want to see the world¡­ ¡°I heard that Shengling Group¡¯s CEO Zuo was invited to this charity banquet. It seems that CEO Zuo has been back for five years but rarely attends events where the media is involved. But this time, he actually accepted the invitation. I really want to see the legendary mysterious big BOSS. I wonder if I have the chance to get to know him, haha ¡°You¡¯re really shameless!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? With our family background, when we turn eighteen, our parents will consider whether we should marry into a suitable family or get engaged to a company before getting married in a few years. I definitely have to choose a good one for myself. I¡¯m really curious about what President Zuo looks like. Recently, all kinds of news about him have been flying all over the internet, but none of them are true. There¡¯s not even a photo of him¡­¡± ¡°I heard he¡¯s very handsome! Aiya, after hearing what you said, I want to go too. No, I must beg my dad when I get home tonight to take me there!¡± The girls were chatting happily in the corridor when the bell rang. Anhao walked out of the teacher¡¯s office with her textbooks. The girls glanced at her and turned to walk back to the classroom with disdain. From time to time, there would be whispers. ¡® In our school, Gu Anhao is the only weirdo. Although she¡¯s the mayor¡¯s daughter, I heard that Mayor Gu usually only brings his eldest daughter to attend all kinds of banquets. He has never told anyone about his youngest daughter. I even heard that Gu Anhao is the mayor¡¯s illegitimate daughter. She¡¯s the daughter of a junior. She¡¯s not presentable at all¡­¡± ¡°No wonder¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao probably won¡¯t have the chance to attend such a charity banquet in her lifetime. Do you think Mayor Gu will marry her off to a rich old man in the future?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s possible. Hahaha, the mayor doesn¡¯t care about her and has never cared about her. The mayor is already loving her by marrying her to a rich old man in the end, haha ¡°Keep your voice down, Gu Anhao is listening over there. Be careful or she might hit you!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t run over to badmouth her. She wouldn¡¯t hit me. But why are the teachers and principal of our school so protective of her recently? He even opened a private passage for her to do her tutoring. How strange.¡± ¡°Who cares about her? It has nothing to do with me whether such a small character lives or dies. Anyway, the two of us have made an appointment. We must attend the dinner party this Friday and dress beautifully This is the most important thing!¡± ¡°Yes, yes. I must go back and beg my father tonight. He must let me go!¡± ¡± Me too, haha! Anyway, my dad loves me so much. He¡¯ll definitely bring me to participate!¡± Anhao took her textbook and walked into the classroom. She was already numb to these female students badmouthing her behind her back. But if you¡¯re saying bad things behind his back, then so be it. Why are you showing off your biological father? This was what made Anhao the angriest. In the end, she endured it and chose to focus on class. She admitted that she was not as good at fighting for her father and reincarnation. When she received Mobai¡¯s call that night, Anhao was about to contact Qin Feng to go to Shengling Group for tutoring. She was a little surprised when she received Mobai¡¯s call.¡±Hello?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, are you free on Friday night?¡± ¡°Friday night?¡± Other than looking for Teacher Qin for tutoring, there was nothing else. Why?¡± Mobai smiled.¡± It¡¯s like this. There¡¯s a year-end charity dinner in City A on Friday. President Zuo needs a female companion. Do you want to go? Actually, Mobai had only considered that President Zuo probably wouldn¡¯t bring his secretary or a good female companion along when he was arranging President Zuo¡¯s schedule. He probably would have chosen to bring Anhao along, so he had made the decision to contact Anhao first. It was also to do more things that would satisfy the President and make up for the big mistake of finding a male tutor for Anhao. He just didn¡¯t know if Anhao would be willing to attend such an event. After all, she was different from other young ladies. It could be said that she didn¡¯t take the usual path. So, he could only call her first to ask her about her intentions. Anhao was slightly stunned. ¡°Can I go just because I want to?¡± After all, from what the girls said today, it seemed that not everyone could participate. ¡°Of course, with President Zuo around, you can arrange it anytime you want.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go..¡± Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: You’re Sentimental About This Girl (1) Chapter 100: You¡¯re Sentimental About This Girl (1) Translator: 549690339 At night, when Anhao was about to go to Shengling Group, she suddenly received a call from Gu Tianming. She had been in high school for three years, but she had almost never received a call from Gu Tianming. When Gu Tianming¡¯s name appeared on her phone, Anhao stood rooted to the ground for a long time. She did not react for a long time. Zuo Hancheng had just returned from outside at this time. When he got out of the car, he saw Anhao standing in the square in front of Shengling Group¡¯s building, staring blankly at her phone. Because Qin Feng had received Mobai¡¯s calls these past few days, he understood even more that he had to maintain a pure teacher-student relationship with Gu Anhao. Therefore, he had not been particularly active recently. He had almost always come here on time to tutor her. Therefore, Anhao was ten minutes early today. When she saw Gu Tianming¡¯s call, she stood there alone and did not move. ¡°Hello,¡± Anhao picked up the phone and her hands trembled slightly. Although she hated her father, she still felt uneasy when she suddenly received a call from him. She also felt a little panic, an unknown panic. The moment the call was connected, there was a moment of silence on the other end. Then, Gu Tianming¡¯s cold voice came through.¡±When do you have time to visit the Gu residence?¡± It seemed that in the past five years, no one in the Gu family looked forward to her return, and no one had ever taken the initiative to ask her when she would return. Anhao tightened her grip on the phone. Of course, it was not because she was excited or touched. Instead, when she heard Gu Tianming¡¯s voice, she wanted to reach out from the phone and strangle him. Perhaps she, Gu Anhao, was the only person in the world who wanted to kill her own father. She held the phone in one hand and clenched her other hand into a fist beside her. She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m living well in school. Why should I go back?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, is this how you should talk to your father?¡±Gu Tianming¡¯s tone was equally cold.¡± ¡°What is it? Can¡¯t we talk over the phone?¡± ¡°I told you to come back, so come back. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!¡± Gu Tianming started to get impatient.¡± Also, don¡¯t always play those petty tricks with me. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know about your ¡®great achievements¡¯ in A High School!¡± ¡°You fight every other day. A few months ago, you beat up the Xu family¡¯s child, and these few days, you injured the Han family¡¯s child. After you graduate from high school next June, our father-daughter relationship can be terminated! I hope that in the remaining half a year, you can behave yourself and not cause trouble for me!¡± Anhao laughed coldly. ¡°Mayor Gu, no matter how much trouble I¡¯ve caused in A High School in the past three years, it seems that none of it has been traced to you! Even with the Xu and Han families, no one seems to have deliberately looked for you. I¡¯m not even anxious, so why are you anxious? Why? Someone from the Education Bureau and the school has leaked information to you. Even if no one comes to you, you still feel disgusted when you hear it, don¡¯t you? Then you shouldn¡¯t have sent me to a place like A High School because of your reputation. Wouldn¡¯t everyone be happy if you sent me to an ordinary technical secondary school?¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I know you have a glib tongue. You¡¯re just like your mother. You only know how to talk!¡± Gu Tianming said angrily. Like mother, like daughter¡­¡± ¡°What right do you have to mention my mother? Five years ago, when you pushed her down the stairs, when you ran down the stairs and hugged her dead body while shouting for the doctor in a panic, when you were afraid that someone would pursue you for murder, why didn¡¯t you mention her? Why did you have the cheek to hide the fact that you accidentally killed someone back then?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Gu Tianming suddenly slammed the table hard on the other end of the phone.¡±How dare you!¡± Anhao sneered.¡± Mayor Gu, save your energy. If you have the time to be angry and quarrel with me, why don¡¯t you go back and think about how to make peace with the province?¡± He might as well think about how to clean up the matter of him accidentally killing someone back then! Don¡¯t forget that I wasn¡¯t the only one watching from the side back then. Everyone in the Gu family, including the servants, saw it!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t threaten me with this! When Anping went to look for me, she was already terminally ill. Her health was very poor at that time. When she went to the Gu family, she clearly wanted to push you to me even if she died. Even if she fell down the stairs, it had nothing to do with me!¡± ¡°I¡¯m your father. Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t guess your petty thoughts!¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s tone was still cold. The blood flowing in your body is mine, Gu Tianming¡¯s! Even your personality is like mine. No one knows their daughter better than their father. Let me tell you, if you want to use that incident from five years ago to fizht me, you can cultivate again. It¡¯s useless even if vou refine it for 20 years!¡± Hearing Gu Tianming¡¯s words, Anhao bit her lips tightly. After a long while, she said hoarsely,¡± Since you knew the reason why my mother insisted on sending me to the Gu family back then, and since you knew that she had no choice but to send me there because she had a terminal illness, why did you smear her name so much later?! ¡°She never wanted to get involved in your family. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she was worried about me, a burden that shouldn¡¯t have been born, she wouldn¡¯t have looked for you. But since you know that she had no choice, why did you slander her like this for so many years?¡± Gu Tianming froze for a while under her questioning. Suddenly, he could not continue. In the end, he said coldly, ¡°Cut the crap. Find some time to visit the Gu family in the next few days.¡± After saying that, the other party hung up the phone. ¡°Beep -¡± The phone rang with a long and cold tone. Anhao slowly put down her phone, took two deep breaths, and looked at the square in the distance with unfocused eyes. For so many years, every time she argued with Gu Tianming, it would end up like this. She was always being reasonable and had always been ignored by them. If it wasn¡¯t for her unforgiving mouth that forced them to stop talking nonsense, the Gu family would have slandered her mother even more thoroughly. There was even an even worse and more abominable version that came out of the Gu family¡¯s mouth. They said that her mother, An Ping, was a bold and unconstrained woman in a nightclub. She had her eyes on Gu Tianming¡¯s status and wealth, so she secretly gave birth to such a daughter to blackmail the Gu family. In the end, the Gu family adopted her on account of her young, innocent, and pitiful age. An Ping had already suffered the consequences and died of a terminal illness. There were other versions, and each version was the reason why Anhao wanted to kick their entire family down. However, it had been five years, and she was still enduring it. Due to his power, status, and insignificance, he could only endure even if it was a monstrous hatred. So who said she wasn¡¯t afraid of anything? In fact, she was so weak behind the crowd. She had been helpless and relied on the family she hated the most to live for five years. How ridiculous. She put her phone into her bag and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng standing beside the black SUV parked by the roadside. She stiffened and sniffed to hide the darkness in her eyes before walking towards him.. Chapter 101 - Chapter 101: You’ve Got Feelings For This Girl (2) Chapter 101: You¡¯ve Got Feelings For This Girl (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold. When Anhao walked over, he looked at her quietly. Anhao lowered her head and calmed down for a while. When she raised her head, she smiled.¡±What a coincidence. I just arrived and you went back to the company.¡± ¡°Is it Gu Tianming?¡± he asked. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and silently agreed. ¡°Why is he looking for you?¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand that was hidden in his sleeve and clenched it into a fist. He slowly pried her fingers apart one by one, not allowing her to use her nails to damage her bleeding palm. He held her firmly. ¡°I don¡¯t know. He only told me to go back to the Gu family in a few days, but I don¡¯t want to go back.¡± Anhao knew that she couldn¡¯t hide anything, so she told the truth.¡±¡±Anyway, when Gu Tianming had no choice but to adopt me into the Gu family back then, he didn¡¯t put my name in the household register, nor did he add my name to the Gu family¡¯s genealogy. He never admitted that I was his daughter, but because of my mother¡¯s death, he signed a separate agreement with me. Our father-daughter relationship will last until I graduate from high school.¡± At this point, she paused for a moment and curled her lips slightly. ¡°Anyway, after graduation next year, I won¡¯t have anything to do with him anymore. At that time, I can abandon the surname Gu and continue to be a simple Anhao. Besides, aren¡¯t I married now? I have no reason to go back. It¡¯s just that Gu Tianming has been kept in the dark by Gu Shishi and her daughter. He doesn¡¯t know that we¡¯re married.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth was smiling, but her eyes were dark. Her tone sounded calm, but her low and hoarse voice was completely different from her usual excited expression. On the evening street, the two of them stood face to face. Zuo Hancheng stared at her small face that was hidden in the shadow of her hair. Anhao lowered her head without saying a word, not wanting to let her emotions affect him. However, in the crowded square, Zuo Hancheng, as the CEO of Shengling Group, stood with her without any hesitation. The employees passing by and some people who didn¡¯t know the truth saw it. Although they didn¡¯t dare to ask, Anhao knew that it was time to get off work. Many employees were walking or driving out at this time, but the eyes of the people coming and going kept falling on them. Zuo Hancheng did not speak for a long time. Anhao did not know what he was hiding under his silence. She only knew that it was not good to keep standing there. She suddenly turned to look at the roadside in front of her.¡±Teacher Qin is here, I¡¯ll go up to tutor first.¡± Anhao suddenly pulled her hand away from his. However, when Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand, he said in a low voice, ¡®¡±¡®There are restrictions between business and politics. Although Gu Tianming has been in City A for so many years, his position as mayor has not been very stable. Anhao, if one day your hatred for the Gu family has risen to the point where you need me to intervene, you can tell me.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand fell to the side of her body. When she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, she was stunned for a moment, but at the same time, she raised her head and looked at him for a long time, as if she had never thought that he would be willing to help her in such a way because of her. But Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just smiled and said, ¡®¡±¡®Thank you.¡¯ Thank you for his respect for her, thank you for not acting like an impulsive young man and doing anything to the Gu family just to help her vent her anger. Thank you for taking into account her dignity and her feelings. As long as she asked, would he help her? However, she had never wanted to escalate her personal grudges to the point where others would go to war for her. She had always wanted to rely on herself, even though she knew that it was unrealistic after so long. Regardless, she was truly grateful for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. As long as she opened her mouth, he would make a big move for her. Even if it would cause a bloody storm in the business world and politics of A City, even if he kept a low profile, he would still lend a helping hand for her at this time. This was something she should be grateful for. The sound of peace is low and low, as if it will disappear when the wind blows, scattered in the wind. However, it was this word of thanks that made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze on her deepen. In the end, Anhao said when Qin Feng had already gotten off the taxi and was walking over, ¡°I¡¯m going to tutor!¡±¡±She turned around and ran into the building. Zuo Hancheng stood there for a while as the cold wind blew past. He leaned back casually and leaned against the car door. He looked in the direction where Gu Anhao had disappeared. His eyes were dark and deep in thought. Suddenly, the door of the black MPV that was parked by the roadside opened. A middle-aged man with blue eyes and black hair got out of the car and walked over to stand beside Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Sir.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Wenner, who had also gotten out of the car.¡±¡±That¡¯s all for today. Let the driver send you back to the studio first.¡± Wenner smiled and casually leaned against the car. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket. Knowing that Zuo Hancheng had smoked for many years, he did not have the habit of smoking, so he did not hand the cigarette over to him. He lit a cigarette himself and held it between his fingers. Then, he turned to look at the door of Shengling Group¡¯s building. ¡°Is this Miss Gu the one you asked me to investigate?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond. However, from the girl¡¯s appearance, it matched Gu Anhao¡¯s appearance in the photos that he had investigated, so the answer was self-evident. ¡°This girl seems to have a very stubborn personality.¡± Finally, Zuo Hancheng glanced at him.¡±¡±You have always been good at judging people, and this time is no exception.¡± Wenner smiled as he smoked. When he took the cigarette out of his mouth, he blew out a ring of smoke and leaned lazily against the car.¡±Yes, I¡¯m an expert in criminal psychology. I¡¯ve always been very clear about human psychology. This keen observation is my livelihood. Of course, I have to have a sharp eye. For example, Sir, you have feelings for this girl.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were deep and he remained silent for a while. He did not refute. After a long time, he said,¡±She¡¯s just a child. ¡°I¡¯m almost twenty years old. How can I still be a child?¡¯¡±¡® But Miss Gu, although she¡¯s young, she has a good personality. She¡¯s not childish and is very smart.¡± Wenner smiled. It was just that because of what she had experienced in the past few years, there were some deep-rooted thoughts and stubbornness in her bones. This change in her personality from the age of thirteen to the present could easily affect her entire life in the future.¡± ¡± But judging from her stubborn personality,¡± Wenner narrowed his eyes and said,¡± she can either be persuaded or tamed. She can only choose one. Zuo Hancheng did not make a sound. His eyes were deep, and it was obvious that Wenner was telling the truth. If not for that, he would not have placed Gu Anhao in the nearest place to discipline her when he saw her rebellious and rebellious nature. In the beginning, he might have taken the brunt of this little girl¡¯s provocation. He had always been calm and collected, but he never thought that he would actually get entangled with a child. In the end, he did not expect that he would gradually endure it.. Chapter 102 - Chapter 102: You’ve Got Feelings For This Girl (3) Chapter 102: You¡¯ve Got Feelings For This Girl (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s heart was actually not calm. At least, she had never thought that Gu Tianming would actually know about what happened before her mother died. At that time, Anhao was still young. She didn¡¯t understand why her mother had clearly left Gu Tianming and refused to be the third party in someone else¡¯s family. She was clearly as proud as her mother. Why did she have to force herself to such a step at the end? It was only until the end that Anhao found out that her mother had a terminal illness back then. The doctor¡¯s diagnosis said that she would not live for more than a month, so her mother wanted to find a home for her. Her mother did not want her to become a fatherless child wandering on the streets. She understood all of this. However, she really didn¡¯t expect Gu Tianming to know all of these reasons from the beginning to the end, yet he didn¡¯t feel any heartache or pity for her mother. He even allowed the Gu family to continuously smear everything about her mother and belittle the woman he once loved, who dared to love and hate, as worthless. Anhao sat in front of the table and wrote notes and abstracts on the book. Her writing was very heavy. Qin Feng, who was sitting at the side, noticed that when she was writing, she seemed to be about to use the pen to break the book in her hand. He frowned when he saw this. However, because Mobai had recently reminded him not to get too close to Gu Anhao and not to care about things that he shouldn¡¯t, although he didn¡¯t know what was wrong with this girl, he could only pretend that he didn¡¯t see it and continue to talk about the topic in the book. Anhao¡¯s tutoring process was not affected, but her every movement was a little slow and stiff. She used a lot of strength every time she wrote. After a few hours, the door to the resting room was opened. Qin Feng turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng coming in. He quickly stood up and turned around to nod politelv at him.¡±President Zuo.¡± There was a glass window between this lounge and the president¡¯s office. When the folding curtain on the window was opened, everything in the lounge could be seen clearly. Usually, when Anhao was tutoring with Qin Feng in the resting room, the folding curtain on this window would be opened. Naturally, Zuo Hancheng could see Anhao¡¯s various states during tutoring today. Anhao did not turn around when she heard Qin Feng¡¯s voice when he got up. She only lowered her head and continued to write on the paper and notes in the book. She did not stop Qin Feng until he left under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s signal. Anyway, this was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s territory. Qin Feng did not dare to disobey his orders. Even if she did, the result would be the same. It was only when Zuo Hancheng sat in Qin Feng¡¯s previous position that Anhao¡¯s originally fast writing speed gradually slowed down. Her mind was in a mess and she could no longer write. Just as she was about to turn to look at him, a photo was suddenly handed over to her. The photo was a screenshot from a hospital¡¯s surveillance video. It was actually the image of her being admitted to the ICU more than three years ago with severe injuries and broken ribs. She was stunned for a moment. She looked at the photo of herself lying alone on the hospital bed, at the empty ward, and at the gray image of herself lying on the bed, thin and motionless. She tightened her grip on the pen and then turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. ¡°The Gu family has long sealed off the news of this matter. The hospital has also been bribed. Logically speaking, it¡¯s impossible for anyone to find out about this video. How did you¡­¡± ¡°What was the cause of the rib fracture three years ago?¡±Zuo Hancheng ignored her shocked and incoherent words. He simply asked the most important question. Anhao looked at the photos in front of her and the bandages on her body. Her eyes dimmed. ¡± This is the first time I¡¯ve resisted them because Gu Shishi posted my mother¡¯s photo online. Although she didn¡¯t say who the man was, she still insulted my mother with the infamy of being the mayor¡¯s mistress, mistress, and mistress. Because of their slander and insults, my mother still could not rest in peace after her death. Gu Shishi released her photo to the media and even spread all kinds of groundless rumors about my mother¡­ She held the pen in her hand tightly.¡± At that time, I was still in the third year of junior high school. I ran out of class and ran back to the Gu family to find Gu Shishi. I gave Gu Shishi a slap in front of everyone. In the end¡­¡± Anhao looked at the photo of herself from three years ago and smiled, but her eves were filled with bitterness. ¡°That was the result. I slapped their baby. Then, I was pushed to a corner by the Gu family¡¯s servants and beaten with a feather duster until my body was bruised. I was taken to the second floor by the Gu family¡¯s butler as punishment. He pretended to accidentally push me down from the balcony. After all, the height of the second floor wouldn¡¯t kill me.¡± ¡°They just wanted to torture me. Mrs. Gu used a vase to hit me. At that time, I didn¡¯t have the strength to resist and couldn¡¯t turn my body over. The vase hit my front body and injured my ribs¡­Just like that¡­¡± From the moment she started to speak the truth to the moment she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng did not say a word in the short span of five minutes. His expression did not change at all. Anhao didn¡¯t look into his eyes. She just let go of the pen in her hand and slid her hand from the table to her lap. Her voice was very soft. ¡°That day, if I hadn¡¯t desperately crawled from the courtyard to the road and grabbed the pants of passersby to ask for help, I probably would have lost my life. It was also because passers-by saw my condition at that time that Gu Tianming was afraid that the matter would spread. He didn¡¯t let me be beaten to death by them and instead sent someone to send me to the hospital. However, after I was hospitalized, I was sealed up for treatment. No one knew about the situation at that time. I didn¡¯t expect you to find out.¡± Anhao was very calm when she said this, and Zuo Hancheng was also very calm when he heard it. He didn¡¯t even ask her why she didn¡¯t call the police. Because the answer is in our hearts Gu Tianming was the mayor, and the people who had injured her were the servants of the Gu family and Mrs. Gu. At that time, it would be useless even if she reported it to the Public Security Bureau Chief. That night, Anhao was brought to dinner by Zuo Cold City. He did not mention the photo to her again, nor did he mention the hardships she had suffered in the Gu family back then. It was as if the conversation in the resting room was just a story from the past. It was as if it did not hurt or itch, as if it was just a deep understanding. Of course, Anhao did not dare to think too much about it, but Zuo Hancheng had never been so silent before. Even though he was never a talkative man when she first met him, his attitude was always clear. Even if she did not know what he was thinking, even if she could not see through him, at least the two of them had a normal way of communicating. But today, Zuo Hancheng was unusually silent, which made Anhao feel a little helpless. Zuo Hancheng did not even send her back to school that night. Instead, the two of them booked a room at a hotel near the company. Even though Zuo Hancheng still did not really want her, he was more demanding than ever before. He was more passionate and entangled with her, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood, as if he wanted to press her tightly in his arms and pour all the warmth he could give into her body. She thought that he should be like this tonight because he felt sorry for her, but in the end, he bullied her¡­She still had to help him with her hand once before he finally allowed her to sleep.. Chapter 103 - Chapter 103: You’re Touched by This Girl (4) Chapter 103: You¡¯re Touched by This Girl (4) Translator: 549690339 When she woke up the next day, Anhao could not complain at all. Just based on what Zuo Hancheng did last night, he was already very kind to not skin her alive in the end. If she used her hands to help him solve it, she might feel wronged, but he probably felt even more wronged. However, this man had gone into a deep state yesterday, but in the middle of the night, he seemed to have gone into heat. She really couldn¡¯t understand him, so when she woke up, she hurriedly took a shower and changed her clothes. Just as she was about to head downstairs to the hotel to have breakfast before heading to school, Zuo Hancheng did not rush to get up and take a shower. Instead, he sat on the bed after he woke up and watched her change her clothes and dry her hair. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up at noon today.¡± The man¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse because he had just woken up in the morning, and it sounded sexy and deep. Anhao turned to look at him when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. Big Boss Zuo, who had always been dressed elegantly, was sitting on the bed. His handsome short hair was a little messy because he had just woken up. He did not have the usual calm feeling, but he gave off a lazy and realistic feeling. Anhao¡¯s heart was thumping as she watched. She thought about how he had been torturing her last night. She was actually just one step away from officially becoming husband and wife. Other than that last step, Zuo Hancheng had taken all the advantages he could take from her last night! In the end, her hand was so sore that it felt like it was going to break! Anhao¡¯s face reddened with resentment as she tidied up her bag. Finally, she found her voice and said,¡±¡±My lunch break is only one and a half hours. Recently, the tutor arranged by the principal for me will be waiting for me, so I can¡¯t be late for class in the afternoon.¡± ¡°One and a half hours is enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng said. Although she didn¡¯t know why he came to pick her up in the afternoon, Anhao still nodded.¡±¡±Alright, see you at noon.¡± Without waiting for him to get up and take a shower, she turned around and ran out of the room. When she got downstairs, she took some bread and a bag of milk from the hotel restaurant and ran out. In the room upstairs of the hotel, the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling window were opened. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tall and straight figure stood there, looking down at the little girl who was rushing to the bus stop with a piece of bread in her mouth. His lips curved into a perfect arc. Two minutes later, Zuo Hancheng picked up his phone and turned around. The smile on his face was as cold as an Arctic glacier. The moment the call connected, a cold voice came out of his mouth.¡±Jin Yang, mobilize all the military, political, and business connections in the country. Within half a year, I want City A¡¯s mayor, Gu Tianming, to be completely disgraced.¡± In the morning, Zuo Hancheng had said that he would pick her up at noon, so although Anhao had been listening to the class seriously the entire morning, she would always look at the time from time to time, not sure if it was because she was looking forward to it or because she was nervous. At noon, at 1.30 pm, Anhao told Chunchun and Huang Amao that she had something on and would not be eating at school. Chunchun and Huang Amao were quite dissatisfied with her recent busyness. They questioned her several times if she really wanted to break away from the two of them as best friends. Recently, she had been acting alone without the three of them. In the end, after Anhao swore and denied it, they finally let her go. Anhao walked out of A High School and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car parked outside the school gate. There were many students coming and going in the afternoon. Most of the students in A High were children from the big families in the city. Although they were not too surprised by a low-key and luxurious car like a Bentley, when they saw Anhao get into the black Bentley, they could not figure it out. Wasn¡¯t there a rumor about Gu Anhao in the school recently, saying that Gu Anhao was Mayor Gu¡¯s illegitimate daughter and was not welcomed by the Gu family at all? Then why would Gu Anhao suddenly leave in such a good car? What was even more strange was that many girls were infatuated with the handsome man who had eaten instant noodles with Gu Anhao in the school cafeteria that day. They posted his photo on Weibo or other platforms on the Internet, but all the posts and messages with that man¡¯s photo were deleted within five minutes without a trace, and their personal accounts were blocked for 72 hours. Could it be that there was something else about Gu Anhao that no one knew about? The students who were watching outside the school gate were full of gossip. Anhao, on the other hand, ignored the students who were passing by outside the school gate after she got into the car. She did not care about their gazes. Anyway, she did not do anything wrong. She just did not know why Zuo Hancheng would come to pick her up. Usually, in order to persevere in her self-improvement, she would take the bus home or take the bus to his company every day. She had never accepted the chauffeur sent by Mobai or the fact that Mobai personally came to pick her up. She would not be so pampered as to ask Zuo Hancheng to pick her up, which was why he suddenly drove over this afternoon. Even though he had already informed her in the morning, she was still a little nervous. Since it was noon, Zuo Hancheng brought her to the business district in the center of A City for lunch. Then, he suddenly brought her to a high-end fashion salon nearby. When Anhao was pushed directly in front of a designer, she was still a little stunned and had yet to come back to her senses. ¡°Prepare two sets of suitable clothes and jewelry for her at the business-government joint charity banquet in three days.¡± After Zuo Hancheng entered the door, he said this sentence. The staff in the shop seemed to have seen the invisible VVVIP flashing on his face. They came forward enthusiastically and brought Gu Anhao into the room according to his request. Anhao was still in a daze from the moment he picked her up until she was brought inside to change her clothes. It was only when those people asked her to stand in front of the mirror and help her pick out her dress that she realized what was going on. She actually asked the designer to help her arrange her outfit for the dinner party on Friday. She had almost forgotten that she had to attend the dinner party on Friday. Previously, she had thought that Mobai was just teasing her. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng did not mention anything about the banquet yesterday, so she thought that she would not be able to attend. However, today, she was pushed directly to the largest fashion design salon in City A. Several professional designers kept comparing the colors of the clothes and studying the style. If it was any other time, Anhao would have run out to reject them for ruining her hair and clothes. It¡¯s a big fish. But after all, not everyone could attend the dinner on Friday. She also knew that her short-haired image was not suitable. She did not want to embarrass Zuo Hancheng, so she could only stand there obediently and let them do whatever they wanted. These designers were very professional. After matching a few sets of clothes and expensive jewelry for Anhao, they finally finalized a new design plan. He planned to customize two sets of gowns for her within three days. As for the jewelry, it was a limited edition jewelry designed by an internationally renowned jewelry designer. It was said to be suitable for her age and temperament. However, she did not remember the name of the jewelry designer. It was from a foreign country and the name was very long. She only remembered the important words such as expensive, limited edition, resplendent, beautiful, and so on.. Chapter 104 - Chapter 104: You’re Sentimental About This Girl (5) Chapter 104: You¡¯re Sentimental About This Girl (5) Translator: 549690339 The last time they let Anhao out of the resting room was exactly 12:45 pm. There were 15 minutes left for class. She didn¡¯t wear a dress because they had to rush the design drawings in three days. However, they used a few styling tools to straighten her originally short hair, making it look even softer. It grew even longer, and could even be tied into a small, playful braid at the back of her head.. In Anhao¡¯s words, she was extremely feminine, completely different from her tomboy demeanor in the past five years. Zuo Hancheng really wanted to completely change her from head to toe, but she could not embarrass herself at the banquet on Friday. This time, she did not say anything to resist and could only accept it obediently. ¡°Will there be a lot of people at the Charity Banquet on Friday?¡± On the way back, Anhao asked while sitting in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car. ¡°You haven¡¯t even participated in it, and you¡¯re already nervous?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s slender fingers were on the steering wheel. As he spoke to her, his eyes were fixed on the road. This man was always so good-looking and charming. Even when he was driving seriously, people could not help but look at him. ¡°I¡¯m not nervous. Since I¡¯ve already agreed to go, there¡¯s nothing to be nervous about.¡±Anhao pursed her lips. Will the Gu family be there too?¡± ¡°Yes. This was a definite answer. Even if he did not answer, she knew that the Gu family would definitely go. Anhao immediately leaned back against the chair.¡±Then can I go back on my word now? Can we not go?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± She knew it! Anhao turned to look at him resentfully.¡± You know that I feel uncomfortable whenever I see the Gu family. If I meet them at the banquet, I¡¯ll definitely be in a bad mood the whole night. Do you have to torture my little heart like this? Zuo Hancheng turned the car into the intersection closest to A High School. His eyes were still fixed on the turbulent traffic in front of him. His voice was clear and light as he said,¡±¡±lt¡¯s precisely because the Gu family will go that you have to go.¡± ¡°Why do I have to go to the hospital?¡± Anhao was puzzled and blurted out,¡±¡±lsn¡¯t that equivalent to self-abuse?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was very calm, but his calm words sank deeply into Anhao¡¯s heart. With him around, would the Gu family not do anything to her? With him around, would she be able to stand by his side safely and not be controlled by others? ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go.¡± Anhao thought that she had met some lucky star recently, which was why Zuo Hancheng had not tortured her recently. She hoped that this luck could last for a while longer, so that the current Zuo Hancheng would remain. She hoped that the Zuo Hancheng who had always bullied her to the point where she could not resist would fall into the eighteen levels of hell and never rise again. In the end, another day later, Anhao received an unexpected gift. Mobai suddenly asked her to find some time in the afternoon to sign the contract. Anhao didn¡¯t understand why and went to the place Mobai had pointed out. Mobai said that it was something beneficial to her and told her not to worry. In addition, she was afraid of delaying her lunch break, so she didn¡¯t read the contents of the contract clearly and signed a few words in a daze. After she was sent back to A High, she took advantage of the fact that there was still half an hour before class. She lay on her bed in the dormitory and picked up the attachment to the agreement to read it carefully. If she didn¡¯t look, she wouldn¡¯t know. When she saw it, she was so scared that she thought she was still dreaming. Gu Anhao had never thought that she would become a rich man who owned a few mansions in A City overnight! She was still holding a pitiful 50 yuan allowance every day and calculating how to eat and how to spend the money. In the blink of an eye, Zuo Hancheng had transferred the houses in the Gilt View Garden under her name, including several houses in the city center that were more than 100 square meters in size. They were all the best and most valuable in A City. She had never thought that her value would soar to such a ridiculous extent just by signing a random signature at noon. F * ck! A single house in Liu Jing Garden was worth more than 20 million yuan at the market price. The other houses added up to at least 40 to 50 million yuan. Anhao was so scared that she quickly called Zuo Hancheng. However, Big Boss Zuo was so busy that he did not have time to answer her call. She only received his call after she had a class in the afternoon. ¡°Why did you suddenly give me so many houses?¡± ¡°Since my little wife likes the feeling of a cunning rabbit with three burrows, your husband will fulfill your wish,¡± said Zuo Hancheng.¡± Anhao blushed. ¡°I was just saying it casually. You also know that I was brainwashed by those messy CEO novels. Of course, I know that many of the famous mansions and even residential areas in City A and even the entire coastal area are under your name, including the entire Liu Jing Garden!¡± ¡°I was just joking, and you gave me five houses in the blink of an eye. Zuo Hancheng, are you trying to choke me to death?¡± He was the one who was joking! How could he really give her a few houses just because she joked the other day?! Even if Zuo Hancheng was really rich, she suddenly felt a lot of pressure when he earned forty to fifty million yuan just like that. ¡°It seems that the impact of this material method can correct your values.¡± ¡°No, no, no. You¡¯re not correcting me. You¡¯re ruthlessly shattering my values¡­¡± Although tens of millions of yuan was nothing to Zuo Hancheng, her values had completely shattered. ¡°You don¡¯t like it? Then I¡¯ll ask Mobai to take it back.¡± ¡°Ah, no, no, no!¡± Anhao hurriedly raised her voice by a few decibels to stop him from pulling her out of her sweet dream. She said carefully,¡±l like it! I accept! But now I want to confirm one thing.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Those houses are mine now, right?¡± Yes.¡± ¡°Then I have the right to sell one of them, right?¡± Anhao took out her daily limit of fifty yuan from her pocket and said with a smile,¡±¡±Um¡­ I want to improve my diet¡­¡± The phone call was hung up and the call was over. Anhao stared at her Dhone in shock. A calm man like Zuo Hancheng would actually hang up on her one day! How could someone like Big Boss Zuo do such an imprudent, irrational, gentlemanly, and impolite action! Anhao could imagine the look on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face. She sat on the bed and laughed until her stomach hurt. After the evening self-study session, Anhao and Qin Feng went to Shengling Group together. When they reached the top floor of the building, they met Mobai. Mobai suddenly walked over and handed Anhao a card. ¡°Miss Gu, the president is not in the office tonight. This is what the president asked me to give you.¡± Looking at the gold card that had been lost and found again, Anhao opened her mouth and took the card with trembling hands after a long time. The reason why his hands were trembling was not because of fear or panic, but because he felt that he could finally say goodbye to his lunch box! However! Zuo Hancheng had been spoiling her a little too much recently. Anhao felt that there was a conspiracy going on and she felt like she was holding a ticking time bomb when she held the card.. Chapter 105 - Chapter 105: You ‘ve Got Feelings For This Girl (6) Chapter 105: You ¡®ve Got Feelings For This Girl (6) Translator: 549690339 It was rare for A High to give the third-year students a break on Friday afternoon. Clearly, the school would organize some special activities at the end of the year. Anhao didn¡¯t have time to attend school activities, so she went straight to Shengling Group in the afternoon. While waiting for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s meeting, someone sat in his office. A person who has nothing to do with the company can enter freely without restrictions. Entering his office and casually sitting in his seat should be considered Anhao¡¯s exclusive privilege. She happily turned on the computer on the table and wanted to play some random online Mini games to kill time. After all, she did not know how long it would take for Zuo Hancheng to finish his meeting. When she turned on the computer, she realized that it had a lock password. Moreover, this lock screen password was obviously a software designed by Shengling Group. It was not the content she usually saw on other computers. The password was six digits, and both English and numbers were fine. She thought about it and remembered that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s birthday was on the marriage certificate. However, after entering the password related to his birthday several times, it was wrong. Then, she entered his phone number, but the first six digits to the last six digits were still wrong. In the end, she simply tried to use her phone number and birthday code, but it was still a mistake. Anhao sat in front of the table with her chin in her hand speechlessly. She stared at the password input box on the screen and finally gave up. After turning off the screen, she lowered her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s desk. She picked up the folder on the table and opened it. There were no so-called trade secrets as she had imagined. There were only some simple data reports and important documents that had been sent from the secretary¡¯s office and needed the CEO¡¯s final approval. The president¡¯s office was not a business archive room, and Zuo Hancheng was not the kind of employee who sorted out documents every day. Most of the documents on his desk needed his approval and signature. However, Anhao couldn¡¯t understand it, so she put everything on the table down. She lowered her head and looked at the drawers beside the table. She casually opened a drawer at the bottom, but there was still nothing that made her curious or surprised. When he closed the drawer, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an abandoned agreement in the dustbin beside the table. The two words on the agreement suddenly pierced into her eyes. Rong Xue. Rong Xue¡­ This name¡­ Although Anhao had never paid much attention to it before, the name that sounded so pleasant and easy to remember left a deep impression on her. She subconsciously bent down to take out the document from the dustbin. It was a resource sharing agreement between the translation company and Hollywood. The content was about the collaboration between Hollywood¡¯s Chinese idol, Alice Snow, and the the mainland of China¡¯s film, television, and song resources. Alice Snow had great potential in the United States, and she was even packaged by the world¡¯s top agents. However, due to the unprecedented development of the Chinese entertainment industry, the American agency planned to sign a contract with China for Alice Snow. He handed over the rights to develop and develop Alice Snow¡¯s resources in the mainland of China to Yixing Entertainment, the largest entertainment company in the country. He also prepared to let Alice Snow develop in China for two years in the near future to expand her fan base both domestically and abroad. The agreement between Hollywood and Yixing Entertainment was here because the biggest investor behind Yixing Entertainment was Shengling Group. Whether or not the agreement could be finalized would require the approval of Zuo Hancheng, the president of the corporation. However, Zuo Hancheng did not sign the agreement that required the signature of the final investor and the person in charge. It was blank, and the agreement was thrown into the dustbin. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng did not agree to the cooperation between China and the United States on the development of Elise Snow¡¯s resources. What attracted Anhao¡¯s attention was the Chinese name of Alice Snow in the corner of the agreement. Alice Snow¡¯s Chinese name was Rongxue. Rong Xue, Rong Xue¡­ It turned out that there really was such a person. Yi Zeyang¡¯s casual words from back then were reflected into reality in the blink of an eye. No wonder Zuo Hancheng had been so cold when she had watched Alyssa Snow walk down the red carpet on the big screen while they were having hotpot. Anhao took out her phone to check some media information about Alice Snow. She found out that Alice Snow had entered the entertainment industry five or six years ago and headed straight for Hollywood. In the same year that Alice Snow¡¯s reputation soared, Zuo Hancheng moved Shengling Group from Los Angeles to the mainland of China. From then on, the headquarters of the group in the United States became a ruin. Anhao¡¯s little head started spinning rapidly. Could this be the kind of love-hate scene in TV dramas? Alice Snow and Zuo Hancheng? Rong Xue and Zuo Hancheng? Was this the legendary ex-girlfriend? Her mind was filled with all kinds of grudges between the CEO and the international superstar. She had already changed several versions of romance novels when she suddenly heard familiar footsteps coming from outside the office door. She was so shocked that she quickly deleted the search history on her phone and threw the blank agreement in her hand back into the trash. The moment the agreement was placed in the paper basket, Zuo Hancheng had already pushed open the door and entered. Anhao immediately grinned and waved at him enthusiastically.¡±Are you done with the meeting?¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng entered the door, he saw Gu Anhao¡¯s guilty expression. He glanced at her, then glanced around the desk, and finally stopped at the agreement that she had flipped to the last page and thrown back into the wastepaper basket. Seeing his gaze fall on the wastepaper basket, Anhao¡¯s little heart instantly thumped violently. But I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed my mind, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve changed, I¡¯ve She calmed herself down and pointed at the computer. ¡°I couldn¡¯t open the password to your computer. I wanted to find Mini games on the internet to kill some time, but you came back before I could crack the password.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was very calm. He did not seem to have any feelings for the agreement. He only looked at Anhao for a while because of her guilty expression. Then, he led her out of the office. Zuo Hancheng brought her to try on the gown that was custom-made three days ago. Only after putting on the gown did she finally understand what clothes meant! In her mind, most of the dresses for banquets were long or short. The dresses were mixed with some high-end designer elements, and each piece looked more expensive and luxurious than the last. However, she didn¡¯t expect that her gown was designed according to her age. She was nineteen years old, the age of a flower, so her gown was designed like a flower fairy.. Chapter 106 - Chapter 106: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (1) Chapter 106: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (1) Translator: 549690339 The blue and white chiffon dress was embellished with delicate flowers of different sizes. The petals of the flowers ranged from dark blue to light blue, and the core was embellished with pink and yellow. The chiffon dress was combined with the pleated dress style. The layers of the dress made people feel particularly comfortable. In addition, there were flowers of different sizes that were arranged evenly from top to bottom as embellishments. The tube top and the bubble sleeve style were also light blue chiffon, and the bottom was surrounded by small white flowers. Most importantly, Anhao¡¯s hair was styled in a fresh and simple style. She was just satisfied with this refreshing and simple style. She was glad that they didn¡¯t perm her hair here and there. In the end, a garland of the same color was placed on her head! It was a real garland! A garland that was so beautiful that it made people want to suffocate! Anhao stared blankly at herself in the mirror. In the past, she rarely put on makeup except for those exaggerated non-mainstream makeup in the bar. But now, in the mirror, she had light makeup on, and her makeup was exquisite and natural. The few fine strands on her forehead looked more natural than the air strands that others had specially permed. Her undyed hair made the flower wreath look even more beautiful, making her fair skin, neck, and collarbone, which were exposed to the air, look fair and charming. She couldn¡¯t believe that the woman in the mirror who looked like a reincarnation of a flower fairy was her. She stared blankly for a long time until those so-called famous designers pushed her out of the room. She suddenly felt embarrassed to see people. She was a little embarrassed that she had suddenly become so beautiful¡­ Especially when the people around her were very satisfied with her design and were especially amazed by her beauty, Anhao really wanted to hide in her room. Zuo Hancheng was sitting in the VIP lounge outside, casually flipping through a business magazine. When Anhao was pushed by the designers with a smile, he looked up at her. The moment their eyes met, An Hao saw a hint of surprise and satisfaction in his eyes. However, Zuo Hancheng was obviously not like the others who could not help but marvel at her change. However, he was still in a good mood as he stood up ana walked towaras ner. He neld ner nana ana Kissed ner gently. ¡®l¡¯ne rew designers around him were all smiling enviously. Anhao, on the other hand, felt her face heat up from his gentle and gentlemanly kiss, which was like a prince kissing a princess. ¡°Very beautiful.¡± Even though Zuo Hancheng was at the top of the vanity fair and was used to seeing beautiful women, who were so beautiful that they did not look like mortals, he was still not stingy with his praise for Anhao. It was also a sincere praise. Anhao knew that if someone like Zuo Hancheng said that she was beautiful, then she was really beautiful. He would never go against his heart and praise her. It was just that his generous praise made her feel very awkward, especially when she realized that everyone around them was looking at them. She took a step forward uneasily and leaned close to him. ¡°I¡¯m not going to participate in a beauty pageant. Isn¡¯t it too exaggerated to dress so beautifully? What if everyone else was dressed normally, but I was dressed so grandly? Would I be ridiculed by others for being too different?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, of course not.¡± Zuo Hancheng held her hand and his long and warm fingers caressed her wrist. A warm current flowed through her body and made Anhao feel inexplicably at ease. Because the garland on her head and the flower fairy-like gown she was wearing made her look very beautiful and blooming, Anhao¡¯s ears were matched with a simple pair of tiny diamond earrings. There was also a delicate and clean necklace around her neck. There was a waterdrop attached to a flower-shaped diamond pendant hanging at the most suitable position below her collarbone. The whole thing was completely clean and fresh. Although Anhao was used to her manly self these few years, she had to admit that she liked this outfit very much. She liked it so much that she was even a little nervous. Wouldn¡¯t it be too eye-catching to dress up so beautifully¡­ However, Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about her inner anxiety. He brought her out of the place. He thought that they would arrive at the banquet venue directly. After all, it was almost time. If they did not hurry over now, they might be late. However, Zuo Hancheng, who was so strict about time, did not rush to the banquet today. He drove Anhao to the largest shopping mall in A City, which was the same one that Shengling Group had invested heavily in when they returned to China five years ago. He held Anhao¡¯s hand and walked through the mall. Fortunately, it was already 8:30 p. m., and the mall had already begun to clear the area and was preparing to close in half an hour. Therefore, there were not many customers inside. Most of the strange and envious gazes came from the tellers behind the counters. Anhao didn¡¯t know why he brought her to the mall, but she felt like she didn¡¯t lack anything. However, when Zuo Hancheng stopped in front of a jewelry counter, he saw a natural white crystal bracelet on the counter. The crystal bracelet was decorated with a heart-shaped and star-shaped pattern carved from top-quality natural white crystal. It was connected by a thin platinum chain. The combination of platinum and crystal looked especially fresh and beautiful. When Zuo Hancheng put the bracelet on her wrist, Anhao stood in front of him in a daze for a long time. The bracelet looked beautiful after she put it on. It matched Anhao¡¯s fair skin and the jewelry she was wearing. The bracelet looked very pure and simple under the lights and the counter. It wasn¡¯t too eye-catching, but it complemented Anhao¡¯s beauty when she wore it. ¡°It suits you very well. Wear it.¡± After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he turned around and gestured for the salesperson at the counter to enter the account. Anhao lowered her head in surprise and was about to look at the price tag on the counter. She wanted to know how much this bracelet was worth, but before she could see it clearly, she had already been led out of the mall by Zuo Hancheng. After getting into the car, the car finally drove towards the banquet venue in the south of A City. Anhao sat in the car and fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist. Natural crystals were not uncommon on the market. Pure natural water could be as little as a few hundred or thousands, but such pure and flawless white crystals were worth at least tens of thousands. Coupled with the combination of platinum and crystal, and the craftsmanship of an international jewelry designer, she did not dare to imagine how much the price of such a mere bracelet would be. She only turned her head to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile under the neon lights that passed by outside the car window. After thinking for a while, she could not help but whisper into his ear,¡±¡±Hey, do you think this is considered a counterattack?¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and laughed.¡± ¡°My value has suddenly risen recently. I have several expensive mansions in City A, and in the blink of an eye, I¡¯m dressed up so beautifully to attend such a grand banquet with you. Isn¡¯t this considered a counterattack?¡±Anhao blinked.. Chapter 107 - Chapter 107: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (2) Chapter 107: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng smiled but did not say anything. Seeing that he didn¡¯t seem to agree with her simple thoughts, she could only continue to play with her bracelet. ¡± But I have to admit that you have good taste. This bracelet is really beautiful. If you disregard its preciousness, I really like it.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly said. Anhao was surprised and turned her eyes in surprise.¡±Ah?¡± It was the first time that Zuo Hancheng had addressed her as ¡± Mrs. Zuo ¡® Although she had heard it before, the way he addressed her so formally still made Anhao tense up. ¡± Why didn¡¯t you think about it? When you married this man named Zuo Hancheng, you already had half of the financial ownership of Shengling Group. A few mansions could easily buy you. Have you really forgotten how much your husband is worth?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked ahead as he drove, sneering. Anhao was shocked.¡± My thoughts have not risen to such a high level. Besides, when I married you, I didn¡¯t even know who you were. Even if I did, I didn¡¯t dare to think about these things. I was bullied by you every day and didn¡¯t even dare to go home. How could I dare to think about the wife of the CEO of Shengling Group or Mrs. Zuo?¡± ¡°Indeed, I was busy in Los Angeles for a month after we got married, but you caused trouble for me in City A. You can¡¯t be compared to other women.¡± Of course, I¡¯m such an outstanding and beautiful girl. How can I compare myself to other women?¡± ¡°You¡¯re really brilliant just because I give you some sunlight. . Anhao burst out laughing and leaned her head against his shoulder as if she was trying to please him. Then, she immediately sat up straight and kept a distance from him. The moment Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows, she smiled and said, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Zuo. Recently, I suddenly realized that becoming Mrs. Zuo is really a good thing.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled as his black eyes stared at the road ahead. The black Bentley was in the middle of the night. He sped away. Naturally, she arrived at the banquet venue more than 20 minutes late. However, this kind of occasion was just an entertainment celebration between the high-end people of the upper class, not a serious meeting that required one to be seated on time. So, when they parked the car in the parking lot near the luxurious clubhouse, Anhao noticed that there were a few cars behind them that had arrived late. Rich people always put on airs, and Zuo Hancheng was no exception. He was not punctual today. Anhao¡¯s gown could not withstand the cold winter wind. The moment she got out of the car, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s coat was already on her. The two of them walked into the venue. They did not need to bring any so-called invitation cards or anything to prove their identity. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was like a VIP card in such a high-end event. With a swipe of his face, he was immediately welcomed into the venue respectfully and cautiously. Anhao had been following closely behind him, but when they were about to enter the venue, Zuo Hancheng slowly raised his arm to signal them. Anhao caught his gaze and her heart instinctively raised her hand to take his arm, allowing Zuo Hancheng to bring her into the venue and appear in front of everyone. Faced with the gazes from the surroundings, Anhao turned to Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±l¡¯m only two months away from turning twenty, and there are so many media outlets here today. Even if I attend as your female companion, let¡¯s not make our marriage public yet. At least wait until I¡¯m twenty years old. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll stand too high up and there will be too many people who secretly criticize you. They¡¯ll smear you because of such a small matter.¡± ¡°Since you admit that this is a small matter, why should I mind?¡±Zuo Hancheng said. Anhao tugged at his sleeve.¡±¡±Anyway, don¡¯t make this matter public before I turn twenty. At least I don¡¯t want you to waste your breath explaining it to others because of me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you. We¡¯ll wait for an opportunity to change. If there¡¯s no special need, I can respect your wishes.¡±When Zuo Hancheng saw an old friend from the business world walking over, he smiled and turned his head to whisper into Anhao¡¯s ear ambiguously,¡±¡±But Mrs. Zuo, you¡¯re so beautiful tonight. If I don¡¯t declare my possession of you, I won¡¯t be able to make up for the loss if I¡¯m kidnapped by someone else.¡± ¡°No, no, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m a person who looks more. Those who aren¡¯t good-looking will definitely not enter my eyes. Which man here can compete with your looks? I¡¯m shallow because I¡¯m young, so an average-looking man will never kidnap me Anhao whispered into his ear with a smile. Zuo Hancheng chuckled. At the same time, a few of his business friends and frequent business partners had already come over with wine glasses. They also saw the intimate conversation between the two of them when they walked over. ¡°President Zuo, I really didn¡¯t expect you to attend the banquet today. It¡¯s been two months, right?¡± ¡°Chairman Wang, long time no see.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly, his expression calm and elegant. ¡°President Zuo, it¡¯s an honor for you to visit the Southern Mountain Guild Hall!¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded with a smile. When Anhao was standing beside him and didn¡¯t know what to do because she saw so many strangers, his arm was already wrapped around her waist. When those people looked at her in surprise, Zuo Hancheng introduced, ¡°¡±This is Anhao, my¡­¡± ¡°Girlfriend!¡± Anhao really did not want to announce her marriage before she reached the legal age of 20. She was really afraid that it would bring unnecessary trouble to Zuo Hancheng, so she rushed to say these three words. As Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice paused, she smiled and nodded at the few business legends in front of her.¡±¡±Nice to meet you. Please take care of me.¡± The few businessmen who had an extraordinary status in A City saw that she seemed young, but she looked especially compatible with Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, this young lady claimed to be President Zuo¡¯s girlfriend. President Zuo still had a smile on his face and did not have any intention of refuting her. It seemed that she was really his girlfriend. Hence, congratulations and wishes for her early marriage rang out endlessly, and Anhao accepted them one by one. She felt that these people seemed to be sucking up to Zuo Hancheng, and at the same time, she was included in the list of people who were sucking up to her. For a moment, she understood her position here today. She was no longer so reserved and smiled at them naturally. Zuo Hancheng was obviously very satisfied with her performance. He gently held her waist and patiently introduced her to every friend who came to greet her. Although Anhao was young, she knew how to deal with the situation as long as she knew where she was. Just like now, she was standing in the crowd wearing an exquisite and gorgeous gown, which made the girls who came up to greet her look inferior. Even the female companions that those people brought with them, no matter how old they were, would instantly lose their luster when they appeared beside Anhao.. Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (3) Chapter 108: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I seem to have picked up a treasure.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s breath was faintly beside Anhao¡¯s ear. Anhao smiled at the two men in front of her and chatted casually. At the same time, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words and turned to look at the handsome man beside her. His eyes were filled with satisfaction and satisfaction. It seemed that she was still in a good mood. ¡°This is the first time Mr. Zuo brought you out to meet someone. As Mrs. Zuo, I can¡¯t embarrass you too much, right?¡± Anhao smiled and held his arm.¡± There seems to be cake in front. I haven¡¯t eaten dinner yet. Dear Mr. Zuo, can you accompany me to eat some cake to fill my stomach? Zuo Hancheng smiled and greeted the man and woman who were walking over politely. He then led her through the crowd to the row of cakes in front of them. Anhao was really hungry. She didn¡¯t particularly like sweet food, but there were so many exquisite cakes placed here that she could tell that they tasted especially good. She couldn¡¯t help but cut a piece and try it. When she turned around, she saw Zuo Hancheng, who was once again being pestered by the CEOs to the side. She wanted to share a piece with him, but seeing that he was constantly being harassed in such an occasion, she could only shrug her shoulders and stand in the corner to eat her fill first. It was obvious that she was dressed up very grandly today. However, all the women who appeared at this event today were dressed up very grandly, so Anhao did not stand out too much. However, her dress was really beautiful, causing both men and women to look at her. At the venue, Zuo Hancheng, who rarely appeared in front of the media, was constantly being handed champagne glasses. Every time, he would only take a sip after clinking glasses politely and elegantly. Although the champagne would not be intoxicating, Anhao was eating her cake at the side. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was not only welcomed into the crowd by people from both the business and political circles who wanted to cooperate with Shengling Group, but there were also many young women who approached Zuo Hancheng from time to time. They took the opportunity to come forward and toast a glass of wine, or take the opportunity to stand beside him, as if they were asking if he had brought a female companion. It seemed like he wanted to recommend himself. Anhao ate two pieces of cake in the corner before she walked out and walked straight to Zuo Hancheng. She walked to his side among the women who were pestering him and naturally held his arm. She had the intention of saving her husband as a wife, and she had ¡°saved¡± him from being surrounded by those women. ¡°I finally understand why you don¡¯t like to attend such banquets.¡± Anhao pulled him through the crowd and whispered,¡±¡±Are there many people here today because of your name?¡± ¡°Hmm? How did you know?¡± ¡°I saw a lot of women, wealthy businessmen, and high-ranking officials. After entering the door, they looked around and clinked glasses with people perfunctorily. However, after they saw you, they immediately ran in your direction.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. It was obvious that she had guessed correctly. ¡°They talked to you and clinked glasses with you. They even took the opportunity to talk to you alone. Obviously, many people want to take the opportunity to see you today to build a good relationship with Shengling Group or talk about cooperation.¡± ¡°More or less.¡± Zuo Hancheng gently swirled the glass in his hand gracefully. He saw Anhao¡¯s thirsty expression after eating the cake. It was not that there were no drinks on the table around her, but she kept staring at the champagne in the glasses on the table. She looked like she wanted to drink but was afraid that he would scold her and did not dare to drink. Seeing that he seemed to be shaking the wine in his glass in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, Anhao immediately stared at the wine in his hand, then looked at him again and said with a smile,¡±¡±Can you let me try this?¡± Seeing the look in her eyes that showed that she wanted to try it, he knew that champagne was not something that could easily intoxicate people. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng would not be too strict on such an occasion. Coincidentally, a Waiter passed by with a tray of wine glasses. Zuo Hancheng turned around and casually picked up a glass and handed it to Anhao. Anhao took the glass with a flattered expression. She imitated Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions and swirled the wine in the glass. She watched as the wine slowly swirled on the glass wall and happily raised the glass to clink it with the glass in in his hand.¡±Cheers~¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and clinked glasses with her. He only raised his eyebrows when Anhao finished her glass of champagne. He was laughing at her taste and impatience. However, today¡¯s event was obviously not the kind that Anhao thought would end with a casual cake, drink some wine, and dance. The so-called business and political joint charity event was naturally called charity, but it was a gathering place for high-level people from both the business and political worlds. It was a place for companies and politicians to talk about cooperation, business, and friendship. Naturally, there were also socialites or successful women who wanted to find a good husband. Just now, Anhao had already witnessed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s popularity. She had just turned around to go to the washroom. She had just turned around and walked a few steps when she saw a few young women approaching Zuo Hancheng. Tsk, tsk. It¡¯s not a good thing that my husband is too popular. I can¡¯t even be at ease when I go to the bathroom. Although Anhao and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s marriage did not seem to be real, she was still his wife. She could not really let those women seduce her husband. Hence, Anhao hurriedly went to the washroom and came out, intending to save her husband again. Just as she walked out of the washroom and was about to walk to the other side, she suddenly saw Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi walking down the stairs from the second floor. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and walked away to avoid bumping into the mother and daughter. She had noticed that not many people from the Gu family came today. Although Gu Tianming was the mayor, it was said that he had gone to Beijing for a meeting these few days and was not in A City. He probably did not have the chance to attend such an event tonight, so he should have expected Gu Shishi and her daughter to come tonight. In order not to bump into the mother and daughter, Anhao changed her route. With her back facing that direction, she walked into the crowd from the other corner. As she was about to walk through the crowd in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction, she saw a few people standing together and seemed to be talking about something. She went forward and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, please make way.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her seemed to be stunned. The moment he turned to look at her, his eyes were filled with shock. ¡°Anhao?¡± Anhao suddenly looked up. When she saw Yi Wei clearly, her face froze. After a long time, she finally found her voice.¡±Uncle Yi¡­¡± She hadn¡¯t seen Yi Wei for more than five years. Ever since he chased her and her mother out of the Yi family and divorced her mother, Anhao had never thought that she would see him again.. Chapter 109 - Chapter 109: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (4) Chapter 109: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (4) Translator: 549690339 Yi Wei obviously didn¡¯t expect to meet Anhao in such an occasion. He looked at Anhao¡¯s clothes and accessories in surprise and said,¡±¡±Why are you here?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t answer him. She just smiled at him politely. Calling him ¡± Uncle Yi ¡± was already the courtesy and politeness she should have for him after taking care of her for more than ten years. However, Anhao would never forget Yi Wei¡¯s attitude when he chased her and her mother out of the Yi family. His suspicion, his indifference, his heartlessness, and the hurtful words he said when he chased them out. Seeing Anhao¡¯s distant smile, Yi Wei didn¡¯t ask further. After all, Anhao was not his biological daughter. He had also heard about what happened to Anping five years ago, but he tried his best not to care about what happened between them. As time passed, he really didn¡¯t expect Anhao to have grown into such a beautiful young lady. Moreover, from the way she dressed, it seemed that this girl wasn¡¯t as unpopular as the rumors said in the Gu family. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Uncle Yi. I still have friends here. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Anhao said politely to him and walked past the empty space beside him. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Yi Zeyang and a woman walking towards her. The moment he saw Anhao, Yi Zeyang¡¯s hand, which was holding the wine glass, froze for a moment. His gaze stopped on her. Even though he was a person who would not be alarmed in the face of danger, he could easily guess the reason for Anhao¡¯s appearance when he saw Anhao¡¯s attire and thought of Zuo Hancheng who he had just seen not far away. The last time they met was when Anhao beat up Han Ru in A High School, but he held her wrist to stop her from beating up her classmates. That day, Anhao angrily told him not to appear in front of him ever again. The moment their eyes met, the scene echoed in their ears at the same time. Anhao¡¯s gaze slowly moved away from Yi Zeyang¡¯s face and saw the young and beautiful woman beside him. It was the girl she had seen at the school gate that day, the one who was acting coquettishly in Yi Zeyang¡¯s arms. That must be Yi Zeyang¡¯s fianc¨¦e. It didn¡¯t feel good to pretend to be a stranger, but it was Anhao¡¯s own choice, so she didn¡¯t say a word, nor did she greet Yi Zeyang. She turned around and walked past them. However, when she brushed past Yi Zeyang, he called out to her softly,¡¯¡±¡®Anhao.¡± She stopped in her tracks and her eyes suddenly stared at a certain point in the banquet hall without focus. Seeing her stop, Yi Zeyang turned to look at her,¡±¡±You and Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Before he could continue asking, Anhao had already turned her head to look at him.¡±¡±Mister Yi, aren¡¯t you going to introduce us to each other?¡± As he spoke, Anhao had already looked at the girl who looked to be in her early twenties beside him with a faint smile. That was because the girl¡¯s eyes were already staring at him. Her gaze was sharp. Clearly, a woman¡¯s intuition was very accurate. His fianc¨¦e was already looking at him with hostility. ¡°Yes, Zeyang. I noticed this girl in front of A High School last time. Aren¡¯t you going to introduce us to each other?¡± His fianc¨¦e was obviously a proud girl like Anhao. She smiled and held Yi Zeyang¡¯s arm as she spoke. Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze was fixed on Anhao the entire time. When Anhao mentioned his fianc¨¦e, he saw the cold smile and calmness in Anhao¡¯s eyes and frowned slightly. The two young girls were already staring at each other. Although they were smiling, they obviously knew each other¡¯s names. After all, Yi Zeyang had abandoned his fianc¨¦e at the school gate because of Anhao. After all, women¡¯s instincts were always so sharp. After all, when Anhao was talking to Yi Wei just now, he could tell that she had some relationship with the Yi family. After all, Yi Zeyang, who had always been gentle and indifferent, suddenly stopped when he saw Anhao. He even turned his eyes to stop her when Anhao had quarreled with him that day. After all, Yi Zeyang, who was always cold and indifferent in front of others, never put on airs in front of Anhao. It was as if he could always give in. ¡°Qi Weiran, my fianc¨¦e.¡± Finally, Yi Zeyang said. Anhao immediately smiled and said,¡± I wish Mr. Yi and Ms. Qi a happy marriage for a hundred years. My stomach isn¡¯t feeling well right now, so I won¡¯t drink with you. Goodbye. She did not even have the intention to let Yi Zeyang introduce her name to Qi Weiran. She just smiled and turned around to continue being strangers with him. However, just as she turned around, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your stomach? Why are you uncomfortable?¡± Yi Zeyang turned around and lowered his head to look at her. His eyes were filled with concern for her as usual. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Thank you for your concern, sir.¡± Anhao pulled her hand away from his and realized that Qi Weiran was looking at her thoughtfully. She had come with Zuo Hancheng today and did not want to cause any trouble. She turned around and quickly disappeared in front of Yi Zeyang and the people related to the Yi family. Seeing Anhao leave, Qi Weiran held Yi Zeyang¡¯s arm.¡±¡±She¡¯s that¡­The reason you rejected me so many times?¡± Yi Zeyang turned to look at Qi Weiran. He saw that her eyes were a little red, but she was trying her best to snuggle tightly by his side and was unwilling to let go. She was also unwilling to let go of him and let him turn around to chase that little girl back. She only looked at him with red eyes. ¡°Back then, when you agreed to the engagement, you told me that you might not be able to give me the feelings I wanted. Perhaps you might not even get married in the end, but I¡¯m willing to wait with you¡­l always thought that the person you were waiting for would never appear¡­But¡­ Is that her?¡± ¡°Wei Ran, I¡¯m sorry.¡± he said. Qi Weiran smiled with red eyes.¡±She seems to be someone else¡¯s female companion tonight. Are you sure you want to leave me behind and turn around to snatch her away from someone else?¡± Yi Zeyang frowned slightly, ¡°I¡¯m not such a bastard. Although he really wanted to take Anhao away from here and have a good talk with her. Qi Weiran only felt better after confirming that he would not leave her here because of that girl. Yi Zeyang had never lied to her, and he had never betrayed that girl. It was just¡­l don¡¯t know if I still have a chance¡­ Qi Weiran held his arm tightly.¡±Zeyang, give me a chance to compete with her fairly. Don¡¯t let me go so early.¡± Yi Zeyang glanced at her but did not say anything. Anhao¡¯s figure had already disappeared into the crowd, as if she had used up all her strength to brush past him just now. Anhao did not go straight to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Instead, she saw the balcony outside and turned around to walk out.. Chapter 110 - Chapter 110: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (5) Chapter 110: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (5) Translator: 549690339 The night in the city was bustling and extravagant. These were the prosperity of the rich and powerful. Standing in the luxurious clubhouse at the top of Nanshan Hill, he looked down from here. The bright lights at the foot of the mountain were shining like stars. Behind him was the banquet hall, and from time to time, the sound of a three-dimensional surround sound system could be heard. Anhao stood on the balcony and looked down the mountain. She listened quietly as the music continued to play. She clenched her fists and inhaled the cold air into her nose. When the cold air brushed past her heart, it made her heart ache. ¡°It¡¯s so cold outside, yet you¡¯re hiding here.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from behind her. He walked to Anhao¡¯s back and when Anhao turned around, he was already close to her. Anhao quickly turned around.¡± When I came out of the washroom, I felt that there were too many people in the venue. I wanted to find a place to breathe for a while, so I came here. I¡¯m not hiding. Anhao¡¯s eyes flickered as she spoke. Zuo Hancheng had seen her walk past Yi Wei from the beginning and then say a few words to Yi Zeyang. However, this girl was always so dishonest. She was used to hiding things that she did not want to talk about and refused to tell the truth. Zuo Hancheng did not force her. He handed her his coat and said,¡±¡±Put it on first.¡± Anhao took his coat and put it on herself. She pulled the collar of the coat in front of her to make herself warmer. His clothes still had his warmth, which made her feel at ease in an instant. ¡°Those women found an opportunity to pester with you, and you got rid of them so easily?¡±Anhao found a topic to talk about so that she wouldn¡¯t keep thinking about Yi Zeyang. Unexpectedly, the corners of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡±Are you jealous?¡± Anhao immediately glared at him.¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm had already wrapped around her waist and he pulled her into his embrace. The two of them stood on the balcony outside the banquet venue. Although the air was cold, it was rare that there was no wind or snow. They could only feel each other¡¯s body temperature in the cold air. It was as if there was only warmth in this world that made people rely on it, instinctively wanting to rely on. It was not until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome face leaned closer to her that her eyes met with his. His eyes were like deep whirlpools, as if they could engulf Anhao in an instant. The moment they got closer and closer, Anhao almost thought that she would not be able to pull it out. ¡°For a moment, I thought my little wife would bravely save me from those women again. Who knew that he would actually hide here alone?¡± He smiled with a hint of banter.¡±You made me wait for so long, but it ended in disappointment. How are you going to comfort me?¡± ¡°Do you still need comfort?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but push it away.¡±¡±There are so many women here, which one of them isn¡¯t a beauty? I thought you wanted to stay in your gentle home and didn¡¯t want to come out. How could I have the cheek to interrupt your ¡¯emotional exchange¡¯ with those beauties again!¡± ¡°You still say you¡¯re not jealous? Hmm?¡± The man¡¯s arm was firmly locked around her waist. When he lowered his head, he was almost right next to her. Their breathing intertwined, reminding Anhao of the night in the hotel when Zuo Hancheng was so excited that he messed around with her. Even if he didn¡¯t really break through the last line of defense, she was basically being eaten clean by him. Now, in this cold air, he was so close to her that those ambiguous scenes flashed through her mind again. She really wanted to push him away so that she wouldn¡¯t blush, but he obviously didn¡¯t want to let go of her. Zuo Hancheng did not intend to tease her when he saw her blushing and nervous face. However, Anhao suddenly twisted her high heels when she was retreating. She let out a low cry in his arms and fell backward. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still on her waist and he pulled her back. Anhao¡¯s little head slammed into his arms, and she heard the man laughing softly on top of her head. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± she asked, embarrassed. In the end, not only did Zuo Hancheng not answer, but he also had a deep smile on his face. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her before she could react. He pressed her against the white jade railing of the balcony and wrapped his arms around her waist as he kissed her. Anhao couldn¡¯t lean against the white jade railing behind her. She could only lean on his arm and feel his warm body in the cold air. They kissed like this for a long time until his kiss landed on her ear. She shivered and quickly pushed him away. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­There are so many people inside¡­¡± Of course, he knew what kind of occasion this was. He hugged her in his arms, smiled deeply, and kissed her on the lips again. He kissed Anhao until her face was flushed red and pouted. He then helped her pull up the coat she was wearing.¡±Go in. It¡¯s windy. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± This man seemed to want to eat her up a second ago, but in the next second, he was so calm and composed as if nothing had happened. Could it be that she had always made him unable to satisfy his desires, which was why this man would sometimes become such a beast¡­ Anhao let the cold wind blow on her face until she felt the temperature on her face drop a little. She glared at him and said,¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t I realize that you, Zuo Hancheng, are a beast that goes into heat anytime and anywhere¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng was standing right in front of her. When he heard her words, he smiled silently and turned around. Just as Anhao was about to walk past him, he whispered,¡¯¡±¡®That¡¯s because you¡¯ve never understood a man in depth.¡± She blinked. I heard that men are all beasts of the world. They put on their clothes and look like humans, but when they take off their clothes¡­ Could it be that Zuo Hancheng was planning to verify this statement personally? Anhao couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at him.¡±¡±l don¡¯t want to get to know you! Don¡¯t flatter yourself!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng walked out with a faint smile on his face. As he held her belt and walked into the venue, he said softly in her ear,¡±¡±l¡¯m looking forward to us getting to know each other better. You¡¯re destined to be unable to escape.¡± Anhao¡¯s face flushed red again. She secretly reached out to pinch him, but Zuo Hancheng smiled and held her hand in his palm, gently rubbing her little hand. Anhao suddenly felt that ever since she had no choice but to use her hand to help him, this man had become more and more promiscuous towards her. What a hooligan! Even when he rubbed her hand, her heart would beat wildly and she hurriedly pulled her hand back. Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu were not far away from the balcony just now. From afar, they saw a man and a woman kissing intimately. Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned red as she watched. She felt like she had been tortured by the display of affection. Not long after, two aunties who were familiar with Mrs. Gu came to her side. Gu Shishi turned around and greeted them. When she turned around, the man and woman on the balcony had already disappeared. Instead, Gu Shishi suddenly saw a person who could not possibly be here! Gu Anhao! Why was she standing near the balcony? Why was she here? Chapter 111 - Chapter 111: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (6) Chapter 111: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s face was still a little red and her mind was in a mess. On one hand, she was thinking about the scene of Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran standing intimately together. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words echoed in her ears. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to us getting to know each other better. You¡¯re destined to be unable to escape.¡± After all, he was the CEO of Shengling Group. He was a legendary figure who was regarded as the national idol by a group of women just because of a photo of his profile! How could he seduce the flowers of the motherland like this! As soon as the two of them walked into the balcony, an elder from the military and political circles came over to greet them. Zuo Hancheng turned around to talk to the elder from the military and political circles. Anhao took the opportunity to remove his hand from her waist and whispered in his ear,¡±¡±l¡¯m hungry again. I¡¯ll go cut a piece of cake.¡± Zuo Hancheng let go of her and patted her hand to signal her not to wander around. Anhao understood and turned around to walk towards the cake area in the corner, but she was suddenly bumped into by Gu Shishi, who was rushing towards her. She suddenly stopped in her tracks. Gu Shishi was the first to rush in front of her. When she saw Anhao¡¯s unbelievably beautiful gown, Gu Shishi could not help but curse in a low voice. ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really persistent! How could you sneak into such a place!¡± Initially, Anhao did not want to bump into the Gu family or get into a conflict here. However, since Gu Shishi had charged at her, there was nothing to avoid. Anhao¡¯s expression was cold as she curled her lips and sneered. Her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.¡±Foolish? Do you think it¡¯s easy to sneak into such a place?¡± Gu Shishi was very unhappy that Anhao would appear at such an occasion! Who didn¡¯t know that the people who could freely enter and leave the Southern Mountain Guild Hall today were equivalent to status symbols? Who didn¡¯t know that a woman who could appear here in a gown at this time was equivalent to a top socialite in A City? However, Gu Anhao had actually appeared here. This made Gu Shishi instantly feel that her value had been pulled down by her. Her originally good mood was greatly affected by Gu Anhao¡¯s existence! Gu Shishi wanted to curse loudly, but she could not attract the attention of others. After all, she did not want to make her family¡¯s scandals public, so Gu Shishi glared at Anhao fiercely.¡±¡±Could it be that you¡¯ve been clinging onto some rich old man¡¯s thigh recently? Which high-ranking official did he hook up with? Gu Anhao, did you sleep with some old man? Otherwise, why would she appear here dressed so well?¡± Gu Anhao chuckled at her words, but she did not seem angry at all. She only raised her eyebrows.¡±Can you not have any dirty thoughts in your head? I¡¯m here because I¡¯ve been slept with by a rich old man? If that¡¯s the case, how many old men have you slept with to be standing here so arrogantly?¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Gu Shishi glared at her. My father is the mayor, and it¡¯s only right for the mayor¡¯s daughter to appear here! Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± ¡°Heh.¡± ¡± Your dad is the mayor,¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± So my dad isn¡¯t the mayor? Gu Shishi was stunned. She realized that she had been tricked by Gu An¡¯s words because of her anger and anxiety. She was so angry that she wanted to go forward and slap her. At this moment, Mrs. Gu walked over to Gu Shishi and glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, if you dare to reveal your identity as an illegitimate daughter on such an occasion, believe it or not, I¡¯ll get someone to dig Anping out of her grave and make her die.¡± Anhao¡¯s face turned pale in an instant. After a moment, she snorted and laughed.¡±Mrs. Gu is always so full of tricks. Your daughter, Gu Shishi, is still young and inexperienced. She¡¯s indeed not on the same level as a mother like you.¡± Mrs. Gu was expressionless, but the corners of her mouth were cold and mocking.¡±lf you dare to say that you¡¯re the illegitimate daughter of our Gu family under such circumstances, the ones who will be embarrassed won¡¯t be us. It¡¯ll be you and your dead mother who were mistresses when they were alive and threw a burden like you into our family after they died. Everyone knows who¡¯s right and who¡¯s wrong. Do you dare to make it public?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about the identity of the mayor¡¯s daughter. Of course, I¡¯m not stupid enough to say that I¡¯m Gu Tianming¡¯s illegitimate daughter.¡± Mrs. Gu, you don¡¯t have to be afraid that this matter will be widely spread,¡± Anhao said calmly.¡± This kind of thing is not uncommon in this class. Many people who vaguely know about this kind of insider information will not be bothered to investigate. After all, who doesn¡¯t have a few black spots on their bodies?¡± You don¡¯t have to worry about being the mayor¡¯s wife all day long.¡± ¡°And you, Gu Shishi, don¡¯t worry about your identity as the mayor¡¯s daughter being snatched away. I¡¯ve never cared about it.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, don¡¯t think that you can be arrogant just because you¡¯re standing here dressed like a human! Who gave you the right to be arrogant in front of us? Who do you think you are? You¡¯re just a bastard born of a shameless woman. How dare you say such things to us? Who spoiled you!¡± Gu Shishi took a step forward and was about to pull the garland off Anhao¡¯s head. Why did this damned Gu Anhao suddenly dress so beautifully? She was so exquisite from head to toe that Gu Shishi wanted to tear her apart. However, just as Gu Shishi took a step forward, Anhao was suddenly held by her waist. Zuo Hancheng turned around from behind Anhao¡¯s body and hugged her. While Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu were shocked, he smiled and said,¡±¡±l spoiled her. Do you have a problem with that?¡± Zuo Hancheng had been talking to someone behind Anhao the entire time. He turned around and pulled her into his arms. Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu¡¯s eyes were completely focused on Gu Anhao just now. They did not notice that the tall and slender figure behind her was actually Zuo Hancheng. Anhao was also gently embraced by Zuo Hancheng. When she heard his words, a warm current seemed to be injected into a certain part of her heart. She would no longer be as helpless as she used to be, and she would no longer compromise because of the power of the Gu family. Anhao looked straight at the shocked Gu Shishi and the frowning Mrs. Gu. She said seriously and calmly,¡±¡±l¡¯m really sorry, Miss Gu Shishi. The reason why I¡¯m here today is because Mr. Zuo needs a female companion, and I happen to be his female companion.¡± Gu Shishi looked at Zuo Hancheng in surprise. When she saw his hand intimately wrapped around Gu Anhao¡¯s waist and saw the gown and accessories on her, the anger in her heart rose little by little. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± Gu Shishi took a step back and muttered under her breath. She still could not accept this fact. Was there really a relationship between Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao? How could he be so protective of Gu Anhao? Chapter 112 - Chapter 112: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (7) Chapter 112: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (7) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I thought it was some lady who spoke so inappropriately. So it¡¯s Miss Gu. No wonder.¡± Zuo Hancheng hugged Anhao¡¯s waist and looked at Gu Shishi, who was still in shock, with a half-smile. A sentence of ¡± So it¡¯s Miss Gu ¡± and a sentence of ¡± No wonder ¡°, all of which were used to humiliate Gu Shishi. ¡°You¡­¡± Gu Shishi looked at him in shock. Mrs. Gu quickly grabbed her hand and whispered into her ear, ¡°Shishi, don¡¯t be rash. Your father has been under a lot of pressure recently because of some business and political matters in the city. This Zuo Hancheng is the person you can¡¯t afford to provoke now. You¡¯ve already learned your lesson from that incident at the hotel.¡± Gu Shishi endured it again and again, but she could not accept it as she looked at Anhao, who seemed to be doted on by Zuo Hancheng. She bit her lips fiercely for a while before saying coldly,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo is a legendary figure in the international business world and an overseas businessman who returned from the United States. He should be an excellent man with unique taste, but why did he choose to keep Gu Anhao, who is not in the mainstream, by his side?¡± ¡°Shishi.¡± Sensing her impoliteness, Mrs. Gu pulled her back.¡±Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Gu Shishi was really unconvinced. She had clearly said all those words that could have belittled Gu Anhao, but in the blink of an eye, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s appearance and his words were like a tight slap to her face. How could she accept this? ¡°Oh?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled calmly. The hand that was around Anhao¡¯s waist slowly moved up and gently wrapped around her shoulder, making it seem even more intimate. At the same time, he turned to look at a young man not far away. The young man had deliberately approached Gu Shishi ten minutes ago. It was obvious that he wanted to get to know Gu Shishi and liked her identity as the mayor¡¯s daughter and her status as a top student in the art department. ¡°Is that the young master of the Chen electronics organization?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the young man and said softly, ¡°¡±1 admit that I have a unique taste, which is why I was able to find Anhao, such a girl that people can¡¯t help but like. It was a pity that the young master of the Chen family was blind at such a young age.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s face instantly turned red and green. She held it in for a long time and wanted to curse. but Mrs. Gu grabbed her hand tightly to prevent her from cursing. Mr. Zuo,¡± Mrs. Gu looked straight at Zuo Hancheng.¡± Shishi is still a second-year student. She¡¯s young and doesn¡¯t know her place. But she doesn¡¯t mean any harm.¡± As for why Shi Shi was so angry, Mr. Zuo should already know the reason.¡± ¡°Anhao is a child of the Gu family after all. She left with a man for no reason and appeared here without saying anything. As her family, whether we blame her or blame her, it¡¯s our own business. Mr. Zuo, please don¡¯t interfere in the dispute between our families.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and glanced at Anhao. That look seemed to be saying, ¡®Do we really have to hide the marriage?¡¯ Anhao caught his gaze and felt embarrassed. It was fine to hide it in front of others, but there was no need to hide it in front of Gu Shishi. Hence, Anhao decided to continue the conversation herself.¡±Like mother, like daughter. Gu Shishi is so young, but she¡¯s brainless. Mrs. Gu is only in her fifties. She heard that there were symptoms of amnesia during menopause. Could it be that Mrs. Gut s amnesia had turned into amnesia?¡± Mrs. Gu suddenly frowned.¡± Gu Anhao, is this how you should treat an elder? ¡°I¡¯m just stating the facts.¡± ¡°Mrs. Gu, have you forgotten?¡± Anhao asked with a smile. Thanks to the two of you, I¡¯ve already married Zuo Hancheng a few months ago. I was just being polite when I said that I was his female companion. I didn¡¯t mean to show off at all.¡± ¡°But the two of you should understand that I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo. No matter what family dispute you¡¯re talking about now, she has the absolute right to stand on my side.¡± At this point, Anhao suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Zuo Hancheng beside her.¡±¡±Right? Hubby?¡± She did not expect that the first time she called Zuo Hancheng ¡®hubby¡¯ would be like this. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be enjoying it, and his perfect lips were tinged with a faint smile. Gu Shishi¡¯s anger rose when she saw the seemingly hidden emotions flowing between Anhao and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. These could not be faked at all. Mrs. Gu also frowned. They did not expect that Zuo Hancheng would actually marry Gu Anhao. Of course, she was also at the peak of power. She did not have to consider whether Anhao was already 20 years old. She was just a few months away from reaching the legal age of marriage. For a person like Zuo Hancheng, as long as he wanted to do it, there was nothing he could not do. In other words¡­ They were really married. ¡°Shameless!¡± Gu Shishi suddenly said, ¡°Gu Anhao, you haven¡¯t even graduated from high school and you¡¯re already married. How shameless!¡± She was so anxious to climb into a man¡¯s bed! As expected, when we caught you a few months ago, we weren¡¯t wrong. A woman like you who is eager to climb up the social ladder actually has the surname Gu. I really feel disgusted!¡± Mrs. Gu chimed in.¡± Indeed, Anhao, how old are you? You haven¡¯t even graduated from high school yet, yet you know how to hook up with a rich man like President Zuo at such a young age. You¡¯re so eager to be a rich wife at such a young age. Your outlook on life is really twisted. President Zuo must have been bewitched by you, right? Anhao sneered and rested her head on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm.¡±¡±When Miss Gu Shishi turned 18, Mayor Gu and Mrs. Gu had already started to secretly discuss finding her a husband of equal status. You even said that it would be best if he had connections with the military, the government, and the business world. I¡¯m almost twenty years old. Isn¡¯t it just marrying into a rich family? Our Mr. Zuo likes me, what can you do about it! Am I not qualified to marry into a wealthy family? Is it illegal for me to marry Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± Mrs. Gu was speechless. Gu Shishi suddenly looked at Zuo Hancheng and pointed at Anhao¡¯s nose.¡±¡±Listen, quickly listen. You should have seen what kind of person Gu Anhao is, right? Do you really want such a woman?¡± Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng innocently. When she met his deep, dark gaze, which was so close to her, she smiled and her eyes curved into crescents. ¡°My dear husband, Miss Gu Shishi once said that she¡¯s the only one who¡¯s worthy of an excellent man like you. Is she jealous?¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned red as soon as Anhao said that. She felt ashamed and indignant.¡±Gu Anhao! ¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows..¡±Oh? Miss Gu Shishi is interested in Zuo?¡± Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (8) Chapter 113: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (8) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡±Oh? Miss Gu Shishi is interested in Zuo?¡± The color on Gu Shishi¡¯s face could no longer be described with a single color. Anhao liked her colorful appearance very much. Mrs. Gu also did not expect Gu Anhao to still have such an indomitable and irritating personality after so many years. She really hated that she did not directly beat her to death back then. Now, she had allowed this little girl to stand on top of her and her daughter. Mrs. Gu said straightforwardly,¡± It doesn¡¯t matter if our Shishi is interested in Mr. Zuo or not. But Gu Anhao is an awkward illegitimate daughter. I¡¯m afraid she¡¯s not worthy of someone like you. Mr. Zuo, whether your marriage is real or fake, you have to think twice.¡±¡® Gu Shishi snorted and turned her head away proudly. ¡°Mrs. Gu, you¡¯re worrying too much. Anhao and I are in love. Even if she¡¯s just a poor student with no family background, she¡¯s still the one I love.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he patted Anhao¡¯s shoulder gently. His eyes were indifferent, but his tone was serious and unquestionable. Mrs. Gu looked at Anhao unhappily as she was protected by Zuo Hancheng. However, she was more afraid that her daughter Shishi would make a big fuss and embarrass herself in such an occasion, so she held Gu Shishi¡¯s hand and whispered, ¡°¡±Shishi, your Auntie Yan is still waiting for me to go over and discuss something. Let¡¯s go first.¡± He was looking for a reason to retreat? Didn¡¯t the mother-daughter duo rush over just now as if they wanted to bury Gu Anhao into the ground? Was he so weak in front of Zuo Hancheng? Anhao looked at them calmly. She was sneering in her heart, but her mouth was full of smiles.¡±Take care, I won¡¯t send you off.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile was cold, and his gaze was distant and cold. He had no intention of continuing the conversation with them. ¡°You¡­¡± Gu Shishi turned around and wanted to say something, but Mrs. Gu pulled her away forcefully. After they left, Gu Shishi said indignantly,¡±¡±Mom, even if Zuo Hancheng isn¡¯t someone that can be easily provoked, I¡¯m really going to die of anger when you see Gu Anhao like that! What right does she have!¡± Mrs. Gu said worriedly,¡±Shishi, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in City A recently. There have been endless incidents and pressure on us in the military, political, and business worlds these past two days.¡± ¡°This Zuo Hancheng is not an ordinary person. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t provoke him! In addition, I¡¯ve been feeling uneasy recently, so I¡¯ll just put up with it for now. It¡¯s impossible for Gu An to really marry Zuo Hancheng, but they should still have some relationship. Bear with it and wait until things in the city calm down.. ¡°But, but she¡­¡¯ Gu Shishi hated Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng so much when she thought about how they were so close to each other. Then, he suddenly thought of the two people who were kissing on the balcony just now. They seemed to be very loving¡­ Gu Shishi¡¯s heart was instantly blocked. The figure from before was Zuo Hancheng! And the corner of the dress of the woman he was hugging and kissing was Anhao¡¯s dress! Could it be that the two of them were really¡­ The more Gu Shishi thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She turned her head and glared in Anhao¡¯s direction, only to see Zuo Hancheng holding up the man¡¯s suit jacket on Anhao¡¯s shoulder. The degree of care he gave her was obvious. He might as well not look back! Gu Shishi was so angry that she felt her teeth itch. How could this be! How could this be! How could he let that b * tch be so smug in front of him! Absolutely not! The banquet had just started, but Anhao was already full from eating cake. Until the start of the charity event, Anhao had been sitting quietly beside Zuo Hancheng. She was drooling over the various delicacies and wines on the table, but she hated herself for being in such a hurry to eat the cake in the first place. There was not much space in her stomach now, but she still tried her best to secretly pick up some delicious food when everyone occasionally moved their chopsticks. However, this kind of occasion, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business, business Only Anhao¡¯s attention was on the table. He looked at the red lobsters on the table, glanced at the crabs on the plate in front of him, and then looked at the other delicate-looking dishes. He took a little when no one was paying attention, and then took a little when no one was paying attention. In the end, she was full and in a good mood. Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu would occasionally turn her head to look at them when she saw them sitting at the table not far away from them. Anhao continued to eat calmly and ignored Gu Shishi¡¯s murderous gaze. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao.¡¯¡±¡®Don¡¯t eat too much and hurt your stomach. Have you forgotten about the injection at the hospital last time?¡± ¡°Oh, I won¡¯t get hurt today. Just now, it was just some cake. It¡¯s so sweet that it¡¯s easy to feel full, but in fact, I didn¡¯t eat much.¡± As she spoke, she opened the crab with a smile. She slowly chewed on the crab leg while looking at the various people on the stage. ¡°The items auctioned at this kind of charity event are all expensive. Where will the final donation go?¡±Anhao asked casually. Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He merely glanced at her and said,¡±¡±Eat quietly and don¡¯t ask questions.¡± Alright then¡­ Actually, she also knew that the so-called donation to Project Hope was not certain. Zuo Hancheng must have known the inside story, so he was too lazy to participate or answer such a question. Since Big Boss Zuo had told her to eat quietly, she would just be a good baby who only knew how to eat and not talk tonight. It was not until the boring charity auction ended that everyone picked up their chopsticks more frequently, and an especially beautiful and luxurious dance floor had been arranged in the banquet hall. Anhao was already full. She sat in her seat and watched the men and women dancing on the dance floor while drinking champagne. Looking at the various people coming and going in front of her, all of whom were upper-class people, Anhao sipped her glass and looked at the dance floor in the distance. She thought of her childhood in the Yi family and later in the Gu family. After so many years, she seemed to have not left the so-called upper-class class, but she had never really integrated into it. It was her first time attending a banquet like this. She felt great when she thought about how Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu were so angry that they wanted to explode but did not dare to retort. Just as she was thinking about it, the wine glass in her hand was suddenly snatched away. She turned her eyes abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng snatching the wine glass from her hand and placing it on the table. Anhao smiled and suddenly leaned her head on his shoulder.. Chapter 114 - Chapter 114: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (9) Chapter 114: Cinderella at the Banquet, Bloom (9) Translator: 549690339 ¡® Zuo Hancheng, I feel like I¡¯m getting drunk on my own now¡­¡± she said, leaning on his shoulder. At the same time, she raised her hand to pick up the wine glass on the table, but Zuo Hancheng moved it away just as she was about to touch it, preventing her from touching it. ¡°Do you really think champagne won¡¯t intoxicate you?¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped her from continuing to drink. Although Anhao had only drunk four or five glasses from the beginning to the end, and her alcohol tolerance for each glass was not much, she was already slightly tipsy even if she did not drink too much. He looked down and saw the pink color on her little face. He could tell that this girl was still a little drunk. She was really a little tipsy. Otherwise, she would not have suddenly leaned on his shoulder for no reason. She was dependent and coquettish as she said such soft words. ¡°Is there?¡± Anhao raised her head. But I¡¯m not drunk.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng did not say much and only stopped her from continuing to drink.¡±¡±You¡¯re not drunk. Sit here obediently and don¡¯t walk around. After this is over, I¡¯ll send you back to the Gilt Scenic Garden.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Anhao really felt that she was very clear-headed, but she still wanted to lean on his shoulder lazily. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to stick to him today. She felt that Zuo Hancheng was especially charming today. Well, of course, he was usually very charming, but today, Anhao suddenly felt that this man¡­He was not really that far away from her¡­She used to think that Zuo Hancheng was ethereal in her world¡­lt would disappear in the blink of an eye¡­ But suddenly, she felt very at ease. He felt inexplicably at ease. Anhao leaned her head on his shoulder and suddenly whispered,¡¯¡±¡® I want to go dance in the realm of ¡®Mother¡¯.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the little girl who was leaning on his shoulder and his thin lips curled up slightly.¡±¡±Are you sure?¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to. You have to teach me.¡±Anhao added. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the dance floor not far away, stood up, and walked over with Anhao. The dance floor was pale yellow. The colorful lights were warm, and the huge crystal chandelier was in the middle. On the rooftop of the studio, Anhao noticed that everyone around her was bringing their dance partners onto the dance floor. The moment the elegant music sounded, the people from the Central followed Zuo Hancheng into the crowd. Anhao didn¡¯t know how to dance in such an occasion, but she was very smart. She learned everything right away. She only took a glance around and roughly learned some basic dance moves. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was not too strict with this kind of occasion, nor did he care too much about her dance steps. However, Anhao did not want her performance to be too unsatisfactory, so she was always careful not to step on him when she was dancing. One was a slight step and a turn, one was a natural fall into the man¡¯s arms, and one was a spin under the music. Anhao had imitated all of them. Zuo Hancheng had a mysterious smile on his face, which made Anhao feel like he was praising her, but also admiring her. He was in a good mood because of her seriousness. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s appearance here today was already a very eye-catching matter, so Anhao naturally attracted everyone¡¯s attention. At this moment, there was applause from the surroundings. After turning around twice, she was pulled back into his arms. When she raised her feet, she looked up at him and almost immersed herself in his black eyes. Anhao only shifted her gaze away when she felt Gu Shishi¡¯s cold gaze on her. She turned to look at Gu Shishi¡¯s direction with a lukewarm expression. The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she put her hand on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder and whispered into his ear,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not reply, but he could hear the pause in her voice. Anhao leaned on his shoulder and continued to dance with him quietly.¡±¡±Thank you.¡± Anhao was truly grateful for everything that happened today. No matter which aspect he was in, he was perfect and flawless. It made her heart beat faster and helped her regain the confidence and freedom that she had lost for many years in front of Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu. Just as she finished speaking, she felt the hand on her waist tighten slightly and pull her into his embrace. The man¡¯s warm breath brushed against her ear.¡±Being nice to you doesn¡¯t just require a thank you.¡± Anhao¡¯s head was still leaning on his shoulder. Because of the blinding light, she narrowed her eyes and said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re spending so much money on me just to confirm our marriage?¡± The man¡¯s faint laughter rang in her ears until Zuo Hancheng kissed her on the hairline.¡±¡±l don¡¯t seem to be good at pleasing women. Of course, that¡¯s not my goal. ¡± ¡°Then what is your purpose? Why are you so good to me?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you feel it?¡± ¡°What?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her ear and his clear voice rang in her ears.¡¯¡±¡®Anhao, do you want to try to fall in love with me?¡± Just like that, the two of them hugged each other quietly. They abandoned all their dance moves and hugged each other quietly under the lights. They moved back and forth slowly. Their dance steps and breathing were not chaotic, but Anhao¡¯s heart was chaotic. She closed her eyes and leaned on his shoulder. Suddenly, her lips curved into a smile.¡± Zuo Hancheng, I was right. You really have a unique taste. You want to touch a flower of my country that has yet to mature¡­¡± He pinched her waist hard.¡±¡±lt¡¯s a flower before it blooms. Others can¡¯t experience this kind of beauty. Your sister is right. I have a unique eye.¡± Anhao burst into laughter and hugged him quietly, enjoying the warmth, sweetness, and tranquility of the moment. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m a little drunk now¡­¡± Anhao whispered,¡± Can you wait until I wake up? Otherwise, I feel like I¡¯m stepping on clouds. It¡¯s especially, especially, especially unreal¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and patted her head.¡±¡±Of course.¡¯ Anhao smiled and hugged his waist. Try to fall in love with him.. Was this his way of inviting them to try falling in love? Was it really just a dream¡­ Not far away, two young girls on the edge of the dance floor stared at the person in the middle of the dance floor and said in surprise,¡±Hey, Xiao Ya, do you think that person is Gu Anhao?¡± Xiao Ya also stared in that direction, her jaw almost dropping.¡±Didn¡¯t you say that Gu An¡¯s father doesn¡¯t like her? Why is she here?¡± ¡± It wasn¡¯t easy for us to beg Dad to bring us here, but because we¡¯re young, we can only come out to play after the charity auction ends. In the end, Gu Anhao seemed to be around the entire time. I saw her from behind just now¡­¡± ¡°Could it really be Gu Anhao¡­¡± ¡°Is that man who? So handsome, so handsome¡­ ¡°He looks like the one who accompanied Gu Anhao to the canteen for instant noodles the other day!¡± ¡°Heavens¡­it was unbelievable that Gu Anhao would appear in such a place!¡± Someone beside them heard the conversation between the two little girls and kindly interrupted,¡± That¡¯s the CEO of Shengling Group, Zuo Hancheng. This is the first time he has appeared in front of the media since he returned to China.. Tomorrow¡¯s news and all the media outlets will probably be dominated by the girl in President Zuo¡¯s arms¡­¡± Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Your Clothes Are Drenched Through (1) Chapter 115: Your Clothes Are Drenched Through (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had not drunk more than five glasses of wine in total, but champagne usually had a strong after-effect. Even though Anhao was not drunk, she was still tipsy as she sat on a seat not far away to rest after dancing with Zuo Hancheng. The banquet had already begun. They entered the final stage. Since it was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s first time appearing in public with the media, and he had brought her along as his female companion, he was surrounded by many reporters. Since he had agreed to attend the dinner tonight, he must have been prepared to deal with the media. However, Anhao was not used to it and did not want to cause too much influence and gossip because of her, so she sat there without moving. The banquet was coming to an end, and it was basically time for the media. The sound of interviews continued, but there was no lack of young people, including children, walking back and forth in the banquet hall, eating cakes or drinking drinks. There were also young men and women raising wine glasses and making eyes at each other. A few young children ran past Anhao¡¯s eyes. They seemed to be the children of the families who had brought their families to the banquet. They looked like they were only five or six years old. ¡°Sister, can you give me the cupcake behind you?¡± A fair little boy walked up to Anhao with his eyes wide open. Anhao glanced at the little boy and turned back to see the cupcakes on the table behind her. She took out the cupcakes on the plate and placed them on a small tray before handing them to the little boy.¡±Then, take it and eat with your younger siblings. If you want, I have more on my table.¡± ¡°Thank you, sister.¡± The little boy politely took the cake and thanked him before happily turning around and running to the group of children. Anhao sat at the table and picked up a piece of cupcake on the table to eat. The pattern of the cake was colorful, and the taste of the cream inside was very pure. As she ate, she looked at the children from time to time. It seemed that she had finally found a place for her to look at for a while. Anhao couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw the children happily running around the banquet hall while eating the cake. It seemed that she was in a particularly good mood today and always wanted to laugh. On the champagne rack stacked high in the distance, the wine was shining with different colors under the light. It was dazzling. Anhao was looking at the champagne rack and raised her hand to count how many layers of glasses were stacked. Just as he reached the twelfth floor, two little girls suddenly ran a little faster because they were hiding and bumped into a cart that was not very fixed under the wine rack. Anhao quickly put down the half-eaten cake in her hand and rushed over. ¡°Oh my, what¡¯s going on?¡± The tall wine glass rack, which was stacked by more than ten layers, suddenly shook. Countless glasses fell down. The two little girls below were about to be hit by the falling glasses. The surrounding people turned around and exclaimed when they heard the sound. Anhao didn¡¯t care about the fact that she was wearing a skirt and rushed over at an agile speed. She bent down and grabbed the hand of one of the little girls and pulled her over. The other little girl was still standing there. As everyone shouted, she turned around and rushed over to hug the little girl. The moment the layers of wine glasses fell, he instinctively bent over to protect the little girl in his arms. He hugged the little girl¡¯s head and protected her tightly under his body. Countless champagne glasses were stacked on top of each other behind her back. As everyone cried out in surprise, Anhao¡¯s head and body were smashed by broken glasses. The cold wine dripped down her hair and clothes, making her look rather pathetic. However, the little girl under her protection was already scared silly and did not know what to say. The parents who already had children ran over and carried the child away while saying words of thanks. However, they still carried the child and ran far away. Not far away, Gu Shishi saw Gu Anhao¡¯s disheveled appearance. Her depressed heart that had been depressed for the whole night suddenly saw a little light. Especially when he saw that the garland on Gu Anhao¡¯s head and her beautiful gown had been ruined by the alcohol, he couldn¡¯t help but tug at Mrs. Gut s hand. He smiled and said,¡¯¡±¡®Mom, look, it¡¯s so funny!¡± ¡°Miss, are you alright?¡± As soon as the shocking scene ended, there were some concerned voices around them. Anhao shook her head. She was an adult after all. It was just that she was hit by a glass of wine that was not too heavy and her body was drenched in wine. It was fine as long as those children were not hurt. She could not care less about the sorry state she was in. She only raised her hand to cover her gown, but suddenly, there was a shattering sound on the other side. As the crowd had gathered here, the tall wine glass on the other cart was knocked over by someone, and the tall wine glass was smashed towards Anhao. Those glasses were filled with half a glass of red wine, which was much heavier than the small amount of champagne. If they were really smashed, they would really be injured. The people around them screamed again. Anhao was also stunned for a moment. She didn¡¯t expect herself to be so unlucky. At the same time, she saw the little boy who had asked for a cake from her not far away. She turned around and hurriedly pushed the little boy away. The wine glass directly smashed in her direction. ¡°Be careful!¡± Anhao pushed the little boy away in a panic, but she slipped and fell to her knees on the ground in the wine. She quickly lowered her head to bear the weight of the wine glasses, but suddenly, a figure flashed over and hugged her. The second before the wine glasses fell, he carried her to a safe distance. Anhao raised her head in a panic. The moment she raised her head, she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold and angry eyes. Realizing that he had saved her from those red wine glasses, she smiled.¡±Left¡­¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know that I married an idiot who would sacrifice herself to save others?¡± I wanted to thank you for coming at the right time! In the end, Zuo Hancheng scolded her. Anhao was so frightened that she could not say a word. However, she was covered in alcohol and looked like she was in a sorry state. Zuo Hancheng frowned and turned around to look at the Waiter who was rushing over. ¡°Go get two towels!¡± His coat had been on her the whole time. Fortunately, she had his coat on her, so she did not expose anything when she was wet all over. Now that she was drenched in champagne, everyone¡¯s eyes were on her.. Chapter 116 - Chapter 116: Clothes Are Soaked Through (2) Chapter 116: Clothes Are Soaked Through (2) Translator: 549690339 The Waiter quickly brought over two clean white towels. Zuo Hancheng took the towel and covered her head and shoulders. The towel was so big that it could cover almost half of her body. Anhao looked up at Zuo Hancheng with the towel wrapped around her. She saw that his face looked calm, but it was much uglier than usual. She pouted her lips, trying to explain herself, but in the end, she still said,¡±Did I cause trouble?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned and rubbed her hair dry with the towel on her head. He did not answer her. At this moment, the children¡¯s families had already walked over.¡±Miss, are you alright? I¡¯m really sorry that our child is too young and insensible. It¡¯s all thanks to your help, Miss. Otherwise, this child would definitely be injured.¡± ¡°Yeah, I really didn¡¯t expect that this young lady brought by Mr. Zuo is not only beautiful, but also so agile. Just now, when we heard the commotion, you already rushed over. Fortunately, those glasses that were filled with red wine didn¡¯t hit you. Otherwise, you would have been injured too. Hurry up and wipe it off.. ¡°Miss, thank you, Mr. Zuo. Thank you so much¡­¡± Because Zuo Hancheng suddenly came over and carried Anhao to a safe place, the sound of concern and gratitude instantly rang in her ears. It was no longer the scene where Anhao stood alone below while the others carried the child and left first. The people in the upper class were indeed the product of social class. Gu Anhao was a nobody, but Zuo Hancheng was the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. For a moment, all the cameras and spotlights were focused on them. Zuo Hancheng was no longer in the mood to deal with the media. He wiped the wine off Anhao¡¯s body and ignored the concerned voices around him. He wrapped her in a towel and protected her in his arms. When Anhao was too embarrassed to look up at the cameras, he asked,¡±¡±Are you hurt?¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± No, there weren¡¯t many champagne glasses just now. There wasn¡¯t much wine in them either. It was nothing.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else and stood up with her in his arms. Many of the staff of the Nanshan Guild Hall saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was not good, so they quickly stood up to block the guests around them and opened the way for them.¡±Mr. Zuo, this way please. Send this lady upstairs to find a room to change her wet clothes.¡± Zuo Hancheng brought Anhao upstairs. There were many private lounges and luxurious rooms on the second floor of the Nanshan Guild Hall. After they went upstairs, Anhao was brought into a room that was quickly arranged by the staff. When they entered the room, Anhao raised her hand and used the towel on her head to dry her hair as she looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold face. When she met the coldness in his eyes, Anhao wiped her hair helplessly and said, didn¡¯t expect this to happen either. I know that I was too stupid to rush over to save them, but the children under the wine rack were only five or six years old. Those wine glasses couldn¡¯t hurt me, but if they hit those children¡¯s heads, they would probably be injured. ¡°Therefore, I didn¡¯t think too much about it at that time. I instinctively wanted to go over and take the child away, but I didn¡¯t expect myself to be hit¡­¡± ¡°But I¡¯m fine. Other than a little pain in my back and a lot of wine on my body, I¡¯m really fine.¡± Of course, if Zuo Hancheng had not saved her from the red wine rack on the other side, she would have been bleeding badly by now. After all, there was a lot of red wine on the wine rack, and the wine glasses were round. They were heavier, stronger, and bigger than champagne glasses. It was indeed very dangerous at that time. ¡°Gu Anhao, I thought you would be able to protect yourself well.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be really angry, Anhao put down the towel and scratched her head.¡±¡±lf the people standing under those wine glasses were adults, I wouldn¡¯t have cared. But those children were too young, so I¡­¡± ¡°You should be glad that those are just some wine glasses and not the marble pillars in the guild hall that weigh thousands of dollars.¡± Zuo Hancheng walked over as he spoke and lifted his hand to pull Anhao¡¯s towel and coat off her. Anhao¡¯s gown was originally made of chiffon. After his jacket was pulled off, the gown was almost translucent. She quickly raised her hand to protect her chest.¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Go take a shower. Do you feel comfortable with alcohol all over you?¡± The veins on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead throbbed when he saw that she was still looking like she was guarding against a wolf. He patiently signaled her to go in and take a shower. Anhao turned to look at the bathroom in the room. She quickly bent down to pick up the towel on the floor and wrapped it around her chest. Then, she turned around and ran into the bathroom. On the other side. After Yi Zeyang walked out of the elevator, he saw a commotion in the banquet hall. It seemed like something had just happened. When he walked over, he saw the broken glass and wine flowing all over the ground. He heard the discussions of the people around him. ¡°That girl just now is President Zuo¡¯s female companion? I really didn¡¯t expect that not only did she look good, but she also had some skills. When I saw that girl rushing over to save those two children, her speed was very fast. Her agility and awareness were very good.. ¡® ¡± Yeah, but it looks like President Zuo is very dissatisfied with today¡¯s venue. His female companion was injured. I¡¯m afraid that the South Mountain Guild Hall¡¯s plan to win over Shengling Group has failed¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m curious. The champagne glass was knocked over by those children, and the wine glass beside it was so sturdy. How did it suddenly fall on that lady?¡± ¡°If President Zuo had not carried that lady away quickly, that lady would probably be injured quite badly now¡­¡± Yi Zeyang looked at the red wine on the ground when he heard the people¡¯s discussion. ¡°Zeyang, what were you doing just now?¡±Yi Wei walked over from behind. Seeing that he was looking at the broken wine glasses on the ground, he guessed that he should have already known what had happened.¡±There¡¯s no need to look. It¡¯s true that Anhao almost got into an accident just now, but fortunately, she was safe. But you, where did you go just now?¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze fell on the wine rack that was being pushed away by the staff. He did not say anything and turned to look at his father.¡±Weiran said that she ate something cold today and her stomach is uncomfortable. I sent her to the room on the third floor to rest. ¡°No wonder I didn¡¯t see you two when I turned around.¡± Yi Wei shook his head.¡± Zeyang, Wei Ran, although that child is spoiled by her parents, her character is still good. She treats you well and wants to marry our Yi family. You have to treat her well.¡± You don¡¯t have to worry about Anhao. She¡¯s no longer a member of the Yi family. Besides, I think she seems to have some relationship with Zuo Hancheng..¡± Chapter 117 - Chapter 117: His Clothes Are Drenched Through (3) Chapter 117: His Clothes Are Drenched Through (3) Translator: 549690339 Upon hearing this, Yi Zeyang¡¯s expression did not change and he did not say anything else. Yi Wei did not know about the secret agreement between Anhao and Yi Zeyang. He only knew that his son treated Anhao very well and took care of her. He had always treated her like his dearest sister and cared about her very much. He had never thought much about it. Seeing that Yi Zeyang seemed to be very concerned about what had just happened, Yi Wei advised him and turned around to talk to his old friend. After Yi Wei left, Yi Zeyang turned around and walked to the side of the staff, blocking the wine rack. He held the wine rack with his hand and felt that it was very stable. Then, he turned to look at the position where the wine rack was placed. His eyes paused for a moment before he turned around and went upstairs. In the surveillance room on the second floor of the Nanshan Guild Hall, the surveillance video was being replayed. Zuo Hancheng stood in the monitoring room and watched Gu Shishi sneak up to the wine rack on the screen. After finding the angle where Anhao was standing, she pushed the wine rack with her hand. Her actions were very obvious. It was obvious that she did it on impulse and did not consider whether it would be captured by the surveillance cameras. Seeing this, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold eyes turned slightly and looked at the person who pushed the door open. Yi Zeyang walked into the surveillance room and saw Zuo Hancheng standing inside. He paused for a moment before he walked in. ¡°Please replay the panoramic surveillance recording of the banquet hall on the first floor for the past hour.¡±After Yi Zeyang entered, he looked at the staff in the monitoring room and said softly. The staff looked at him in surprise and stood up.¡±Young Master Yi, just now, President Zuo also came to pull up the surveillance records from an hour ago. I wonder if the two of you want to investigate the same thing. Do you need me to play it again?¡± As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Yi Zeyang turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile.¡± What is Young Master Yi planning to investigate?¡± Yi Zeyang calmly met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s slightly mocking gaze.¡¯¡±¡®President Zuo, nice to meet you.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and did not reply. Yi Zeyang looked at the monitor in the control room. He did not want Anhao¡¯s life to be affected because of him. At least now was not the time, so he said calmly,¡± ¡°My fianc¨¦e¡¯s stomach isn¡¯t feeling well. I don¡¯t know if she ate something of a conflicting nature. I plan to see what she ate an hour ago so that I can consider whether to send her to the hospital. Why? Was President Zuo here to investigate such a trivial matter?¡± ¡± Young Master Yi¡¯s fianc¨¦e is the granddaughter of Old General Qi,¡± Zuo Hancheng said coldly.¡± The Yi family is also very happy to have a good match.¡± I didn¡¯t expect Young Master Yi to dote on your fianc¨¦e so much. Since I¡¯m lucky enough to meet her today, why don¡¯t I ask for a toast? When the Yi and Qi families hold their wedding, remember to inform me.¡± Yi Zeyang smiled faintly.¡± It is of course the Yi Group¡¯s honor that President Zuo is willing to come. I will definitely send you an invitation personally.¡±¡± ¡°Alright, when the time comes, this Zuo will definitely bring his wife over to drink your wedding wine.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s usual cold eyes seemed to have a faint smile, but it was not a real smile. He was still as inconspicuous as ever. Yi Zeyang smiled. His gentle and refined attitude did not reveal his forbearance. When Zuo Hancheng turned around and left the surveillance room, Yi Zeyang looked at the surveillance records in front of him. With his back facing Zuo Hancheng, who was about to leave, he said softly,¡±¡±President Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks, but he was not in a hurry to leave. ¡°I used to be Anhao¡¯s elder brother. Although we¡¯re no longer related, I still want to say something as her elder brother. Anhao was a simple-minded person who dared to love and hate. However, she was easily hurt because she was too straightforward. She had been through a lot over the years. Please treat her well, President Zuo.¡± After Yi Zeyang finished speaking, he frowned and continued,¡±¡± Anhao was traumatized when she was young and fell seriously ill. Not only did the Gu family cause her a huge psychological trauma in the past five years, but she was kidnapped when she was very young because of the Gu family¡¯s blood. At that time, Anhao was frightened and did not speak for a whole year and a half.. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He slowly turned around and looked at Yi Zeyang, who had been standing in the surveillance room the entire time. ¡°Don¡¯t look at how crazy she is all day long like a blooming sunflower. Behind the sun, she is dark and nervous, so¡­ President Zuo, please don¡¯t hurt her.¡± After saying that, Yi Zeyang took the new surveillance record that the staff member handed to him and turned to leave. He did not stop behind Zuo Hancheng and walked towards the stairs without looking back. Zuo Hancheng watched as Yi Zeyang¡¯s figure disappeared from the staircase. In the end, he did nothing but stand there quietly for a moment before turning around and walking back to his room. Anhao had already taken a shower and saw a bag of clothes on the sofa in the room. Zuo Hancheng must have ordered someone to buy them nearby. She had just changed when she heard the sound of the door opening. Zuo Hancheng walked through the door and saw Anhao running her hand through her hair. She looked much more comfortable and casual than her overly grand outfit. She turned around and smiled at him.¡± How is it? Is everything alright downstairs?¡± This should be just a small episode. It won¡¯t cause any impact, right?¡± As she spoke, she walked up to him. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was looking at her, she blinked and moved closer to him.¡±Oh right, those photos and cameras taken by the media, will they be spread on the news tomorrow¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng caressed her cheek, his fingers caressing the red mark on her ear. ¡°Hiss, don¡¯t touch it. I was scratched by a broken cup under my ear. It¡¯s just a small scratch about a centimeter long. It¡¯s not too serious, but it hurts when you touch it.¡± Anhao raised her hand and wanted to push his hand away, but she did not expect him to pull her into his embrace and she bumped into him. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips.¡±¡±lf you don¡¯t want to be criticized by the media, those shots and photos won¡¯t be released tomorrow morning. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. With you around, the footage and photos that you don¡¯t want others to post will be blocked. I almost forgot about this.¡± Anhao raised her hand and touched her ear.¡± Look, is this part of me red? It should be just a little red. There¡¯s no bleeding, right?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Let me see.¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and looked at the small wound under her ear. Anhao thought that he was really going to help her, so she obediently turned her head to face him. It was only when Zuo Hancheng suddenly kissed her ear that Anhao shuddered and exclaimed softly,¡±¡±Aiya, it hurts.¡± ¡°You still know how to hurt? Would he still be so foolish as to charge forward and sacrifice himself to save others?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was low as he bit down on her small ear.. Chapter 118 - Chapter 118: His Clothes Are Drenched Through (4) Chapter 118: His Clothes Are Drenched Through (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao whimpered as she was bitten. She shrunk her neck in his arms and did not dare to move. Zuo Hancheng did not really want to kiss the area where her ear was injured. He only kissed her ear gently as if to comfort her. Then, he patted her back gently.¡±l would rather you be a heartless little bastard than do such a dangerous thing in front of me again, remember?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say that kind women are the cutest?¡± Anhao smiled. I thought that the way I saved the child just now would be very charming!¡± ¡± You look like a drowned rat.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± I don¡¯t see anything cute about you.¡±¡± Anhao immediately pouted like a child and said unhappily,¡±Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re the first person who made me feel like you were being lectured for doing a good deed.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already good enough that you didn¡¯t get hit until your head was drenched in blood. You still dare to show off your bravery here?¡±Zuo Hancheng patted her head.¡±¡±Go and dry your hair. I¡¯ll send you back to Liujing Garden. It¡¯s windy outside. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already very dry.¡± Anhao raised her hand to touch her hair. She felt that she had blown it too quickly with the hairdryer just now, and the roots of her hair were still a little wet. She had no choice but to turn around and pick up the hairdryer to continue blowing for a while. Twenty minutes later, Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng out of the room. Suddenly, two staff members walked out of the surveillance room and said, ¡°¡±Mr. Zuo, there¡¯s still a part of the surveillance video we pulled out from the corner that we didn¡¯t give you. The part about the red wine cart being pushed out has been taken out.¡± ¡°Wait for me in the car,¡± Zuo Hancheng said to Anhao.¡± Hearing that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have investigated the surveillance records in the banquet hall, Anhao understood what he meant. It was indeed a little strange when the wine rack suddenly turned towards her. She nodded, turned around, and walked towards the stairs. Zuo Hancheng followed the staff into the monitoring room. When Anhao walked to the stairs, she suddenly saw a figure coming down from the spiral staircase on the third floor. She could not help but stop in her tracks and look at Qi Weiran, who was wearing a quiet and elegant dress. The moment she saw Qi Weiran, Anhao only had one thought in her mind. Yi Zeyang¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Qi Weiran also saw her when she went downstairs. She walked straight down to Anhao. Anhao¡¯s face was expressionless, but Qi Weiran smiled at her.¡±Miss Gu, we¡¯re really fated.¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t Miss Qi in the banquet hall downstairs?¡± Anhao asked with a smirk.¡± ¡°My stomach wasn¡¯t feeling well just now, so I asked Zeyang to rest with me in the room for a while. Now that I¡¯m feeling much better, I want to come down and take a walk.¡± As Qi Weiran spoke, she suddenly took a step closer to Anhao. Just as Anhao was puzzled by her approach, Qi Weiran suddenly let out a low cry and fell to the ground. Anhao froze. What was Miss Qi up to? It was only then that she heard footsteps coming from upstairs. After Qi Weiran¡¯s low cry, the footsteps had already come down quickly. When Yi Zeyang¡¯s figure appeared at the stairs, Anhao¡¯s lips twitched fiercely. How could the granddaughter of Old General Qi be so shameless? However, the results proved that.. ¡°Wei Ran?¡± Yi Zeyang went downstairs and saw Anhao first. He was stunned. The next moment, he saw Qi Weiran falling to Anhao¡¯s feet in a half-kneeling position. Anhao, on the other hand, was stunned and did not lower her head to help her. ¡°What happened?¡± Yi Zeyang quickly walked over and bent down to help Qi Weiran up. He lowered his head and looked at her feet.¡±Are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Qi Weiran looked like she was in pain. She lowered her head and said, ¡°When I walked here earlier, I suddenly tripped over something.. Anhao still did not react to Qi Weiran¡¯s words. She only looked at Qi Weiran, who was only a few years older than her, indifferently. She sighed at the unfathomable nature of the human heart and sighed at the fact that a woman could really do so much to win a man¡¯s heart¡­So.. The level of scheming! Obviously, this Miss Qi was a scheming woman. She had watched many dramas about scheming in the palace, yet she was able to put on a live version of it in front of Gu Anhao! Yi Zeyang looked up at Anhao while supporting Qi Weiran. Anhao was expressionless. She did not trip her anyway, so he did not need to say anything or explain. He looked at Yi Zeyang calmly. ¡°Zeyang, I¡¯m fine. I just tripped for a moment. Let¡¯s go.¡±Qi Weiran pulled Yi Zeyang¡¯s arm after saying that, as if she was trying to stay away from Anhao. The corners of Anhao¡¯s mouth curled up. She almost wanted to applaud Miss Qi and give her an Oscar! ¡°Anhao.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Yi Zeyang looked at Anhao. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Anhao shrugged and spread her hands at the same time.¡±Your fianc¨¦e suddenly fell in front of me. I was shocked too, okay?¡± Yi Zeyang paused for a moment. An Hao never lied to him, so his first reaction was naturally to believe her. However, it was impossible for Qi Weiran to slander her for no reason. He could not help but frown slightly. He lowered his head and looked at Qi Weiran, who seemed to be in pain from the fall.¡±Where does it hurt?¡± Qi Weiran seemed to be a little embarrassed as she pointed at her knee, which had been skinned when she fell down.¡± My knee is a little bruised. It¡¯s fine. Zeyang, don¡¯t blame Miss Gu. She probably didn¡¯t see it clearly. We bumped into each other here again. Besides, I didn¡¯t see where I was standing either¡­¡± The more he tried to cover it up, the more obvious it would be, but it was as if he was pushing all the blame onto Anhao. Anhao raised her eyebrows even more. Wow, Miss Qi is so awesome. Yi Zeyang bent down to check Qi Weiran¡¯s leg with concern. When he saw that her knee was really bruised and slightly red, he looked down at her high heels. The high heels were still on her feet, and the heels were not damaged at all. It was obvious that Qi Weiran would not have fallen down suddenly if not for the external obstruction. He stood up and looked at Anhao.¡± Anhao, I know you¡¯ve always been stubborn, but Weiran, she¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Anhao did not bother to explain herself because she felt that Yi Zeyang would not suspect her based on his understanding of her. However, when Yi Zeyang questioned her in such a tone, Anhao just looked at him calmly.¡±¡±Mr. Yi, your fianc¨¦e suddenly fell in front of me, but the truth is that I didn¡¯t do anything. Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me.¡± Yi Zeyang looked at the coldness and calmness in her eyes and his expression froze.¡±¡±Anhao, I¡¯m not blaming you, nor am I doubting you..¡± Chapter 119 - Chapter 119: His Clothes Are Drenched Through (5) Chapter 119: His Clothes Are Drenched Through (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Of course you¡¯re not suspecting me. You just don¡¯t want a stubborn child like me to bully your fianc¨¦e because of my willfulness. ¡°Anhao looked straight at him.¡± Mr. Yi, I don¡¯t seem to be that bored. Yi Zeyang looked at her and frowned. Anhao smiled and said,¡±¡±l admit that when I was young, I was insensible and did reject some of your rumored girlfriends in school. However, I admitted everything back then. I, Gu Anhao, have always been honest in my actions. Even if I really had maliciously stretched out my leg to trip someone just now, of course, I would admit it.¡± ¡°But since I didn¡¯t do it, why should I admit it?¡±Anhao stared at him.¡± Mr. Yi, your fianc¨¦e¡¯s legs are not very strong. She suddenly fell down. What does it have to do with me?¡± I suggest you buy some bone strengthening pills for Miss Qi. Don¡¯t kneel in front of others for no reason. I¡¯m afraid of losing my lifespan!¡± After saying that, Anhao turned around and left without even looking at Qi Weiran. Yi Zeyang did not say anything. He just looked at her back and frowned. Obviously, Anhao really didn¡¯t do anything. Even though he had a moment of doubt just now, he knew Anhao¡¯s attitude too well. Indeed, she would admit to anything that she had done wrong. If she had really done something so trivial, she would not have left with such an attitude. ¡°Zeyang, I didn¡¯t say that Miss Gu tripped me. I just said that I tripped over something when I walked here just now. I didn¡¯t mean to accuse Miss Gu.¡± Qi Weiran could tell that the situation was unfavorable for her, so she quickly explained the situation in front of her so that Yi Zeyang would not think that she was deliberately slandering Gu Anhao. Yi Zeyang looked at her and did not say anything until Anhao¡¯s figure disappeared from the banquet hall. After a while, he slowly said,¡±¡±Can you still walk?¡± Qi Weiran looked up and saw that his expression was a little cold. Her heart could not help but freeze. She whispered, ¡°Yes, I can.¡± Anhao walked out of the banquet hall and headed to the parking lot. Yi Zeyang had always trusted her, no matter when it was. Even when he beat up Han Ru in school, he was the one who went to retrieve the surveillance video and handed it to the principal. It was obvious that Yi Zeyang trusted her at that time and did not want her to be wronged. However, at that moment, even if Yi Zeyang did not really want to blame her, his eyes and tone showed that he was suspicious of this matter. He even thought that she was playing a prank on him again, just like when she was young. Even though he thought it was just a prank, he still had no intention of blaming her. However, that was still his suspicion and distrust of her. In the end, it was because of another woman¡¯s casual slander that he suspected her. Anhao looked at the distant sky and felt that perhaps she should really pull herself out of that one-sided love that she had been naive and ignorant about. He returned to Liujing Garden. After Anhao entered the room, she could smell the clean smell in the air. There was no durian and no formalin. She walked around the room excitedly and rushed upstairs to admire her bedroom and all the rooms on the second floor. Seeing that she was still so energetic after a tiring day, Zuo Hancheng smiled and did not stop her. He let her run to the second floor and walk around happily. Half an hour later, Anhao ran downstairs and said excitedly,¡±¡±From today onwards, we can come back and live here, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Hancheng saw the joy in her eyes and was infected by her good mood. He smiled slightly and said,¡±¡±We don¡¯t have to stay in hotels or companies anymore.¡± ¡°Then I¡­¡± Anhao looked at him with a smile and raised her finger. She bit her lip and said carefully,¡±¡±Can I live alone in the bedroom on the second floor?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Damn, she was in such a good mood now, but he was actually keeping her in suspense! Anhao pursed her lips and walked over to his side. She reached out and tugged at his shirt sleeve coquettishly. ¡°That¡¯s a bedroom sketch that I carefully drew. Everything inside is designed according to the bedroom style that I want. I really want to live there. Besides, I¡¯m not even twenty years old yet. The beast made me sleep with you every day.¡± ¡°Hmm? I¡¯m a beast?¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly laughed, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.¡±Are you sure?¡± Anhao paused, feeling that she had said something wrong and offended him again. She quickly changed the topic and said ingratiatingly, ¡®¡±¡®No, no, no, you¡¯re not a beast at all. You¡¯re the best, and you dote on me the most. Look, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to go back to my newly renovated room to stay.¡± ¡°Anhao, I don¡¯t think I need to remind you that I¡¯m a normal man.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced in the direction of the second floor, turned around, and unbuttoned his shirt. He said calmly,¡±¡±Based on this method of separation, it seems that you really want your husband to go out and fool around with other women.¡± ¡°Stop it! You didn¡¯t fool around with any woman before you married me, okay? Why must they sleep together just because they have a wife?¡± ¡°You still don¡¯t sleep with your wife? Do you think I¡¯ll marry a clay statue to serve you?¡± .¡±Anhao held it in for a long time before finding an excuse.¡±But, but I¡¯m still young and haven¡¯t officially reached the legal age of marriage. You have to give me some time to prepare myself mentally and let me relax.¡± ¡°Which part of your body have I not seen before?¡± Anhao¡¯s face turned red.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. His gaze seemed to be saying that he had nothing to be embarrassed about since he had been groping his wife. Anhao clenched her fist and glared at him.¡± I was injured because I saved someone today. You have to let me heal!¡± Anyway, I want to sleep in the new bedroom by myself. Besides, you said that I can use the second floor as I please. Now, I want to set a rule. The second floor is my territory. You¡¯re not allowed to go!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and ignored her. He turned around and went into the bathroom. Anhao hurriedly chased after him to the bathroom door and shouted,¡±¡±Also, Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m going to take the exam soon. Give me some privacy and let me sleep well tonight. I don¡¯t want to wake up in the morning with sore hands!¡± There was no sound from Zuo Hancheng in the bathroom, but the sound of water splashing out represented his response. He was actually so indifferent! It was obvious that he didn¡¯t agree! Anhao thought of what he had said when they were dancing at the banquet today. She paced back and forth at the bathroom door and finally found a better excuse. ¡°You said that the two of us should try to fall in love from now on. In the early stages of our relationship, shouldn¡¯t we maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and respect my choices and wishes?¡± Just as Anhao finished speaking, the bathroom door was suddenly opened.. Chapter 120 - Chapter 120: Hubby, I’m Hungry (1) Chapter 120: Hubby, I¡¯m Hungry (1) Translator: 549690339 Just as Anhao finished speaking, the bathroom door was suddenly opened. She turned her head around to find out what was going on, but she saw Zuo Hancheng holding the shower head in the bathroom and pouring water on her. She was shocked.¡±Ah. . Before she could come back to her senses, she was dragged into the bathroom by him. The moment he closed the door, he pressed her against the door and bent down to kiss her. ¡°If you want to go up and sleep alone, fine.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hot breath came from the white steam in the bathroom. He whispered to her lips,¡¯¡±¡®Help me one more time¡­¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao was stunned. In the next moment, he had already grabbed her hand. Her lips were instantly captured by him, not giving her any space to scold him again. She was so angry that she raised her hand and hit his shoulder hard while her clothes were drenched.¡±Oh¡­ F * Ck¡­ Egg¡­¡± Anhao had a good weekend, although the price was that her hands were so sore that she wanted to kill someone when she woke up on Saturday morning. She went to buy all kinds of indoor decorations and many little things that she liked. This time, she had learned her lesson and swiped Zuo Hancheng¡¯s card. Her little heart had been abused so much, and her hands were so sore. She had to swipe her card! For two consecutive days, she was on the second floor. Other than the fixed time for tutoring at night, she was basically studying the various furnishings in her bedroom. She was in a good mood when she went to school on Monday. However, she did not expect that her mood would instantly plummet the moment she arrived at school. As soon as she entered the school, she felt that the students passing by were looking at her with strange eyes, but their gazes were different from the disdain they had before. There were even quite a few girls who were secretly pointing at her not far away, as if they were discussing something. Anhao was baffled and went straight to class. During the break, she went to the teacher¡¯s office for tutoring. Only when she came out did she finally know what had happened. ¡± I heard from Xiao Ya and the others that Gu Anhao actually attended the charity banquet organized by the municipal union on Friday¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it too. This matter has spread throughout A High School in the past two days, and she was actually brought there by Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng? Really?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true! However, it was said that Shengling Group¡¯s public relations had been suppressing the release of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s photos in the media, so the photos of Zuo Hancheng that day could not be found on the Internet. However, Xiao Ya and the others had secretly taken photos on their phones! It¡¯s absolutely true! ¡± ¡°Oh my god, hasn¡¯t Gu Anhao always been disliked by the Gu family? It was only half a month ago that she was the illegitimate daughter of Mayor Gu. How did she suddenly become Zuo Hancheng¡¯s female companion of Shengling Group?¡± ¡°I saw a photo on Xiao Ya¡¯s phone. It was a photo of President Zuo hugging Gu Anhao. He seemed to be very concerned about Gu Anhao. Do you think President Zuo has fallen for that weirdo Gu Anhao?¡± ¡°How is that possible? She¡¯s not like a woman at all. She¡¯s like a hooligan all day long. She¡¯s not feminine at all. She¡¯s not worthy of a Prince Charming like Zuo Hancheng, okay?¡± ¡°Shh, keep your voice down. What if Gu Anhao hears you nearby? Let me tell you, the person we saw with Gu Anhao at the canteen that day was actually Zuo Hancheng. I only found out after seeing the photo in Xiao Ya¡¯s phone!¡± ¡°Could it be that Zuo Hancheng is Gu Anhao¡¯s relative?¡± ¡°Which relative would hug a girl like that? No matter how much Gu Anhao didn¡¯t look like a girl, she was still a girl. In the photo, President Zuo looked very intimate when he hugged her!¡± ¡°God, that¡¯s my Prince Charming¡­¡¯ ¡°My heart was about to break when I saw the photo¡­ Anhao was a little speechless when she heard this conversation from not far away. Did Xiao Ya and the others appear in the banquet hall that day? She didn¡¯t even notice. They even secretly took photos of her and Zuo Hancheng. Even if the media could not publish it, the rumors in school were enough to make her suffer. Anhao hugged the practice paper in her hands and turned around to return to the classroom, ignoring everyone¡¯s guessing gazes. It was not easy for her to make it to noon. When she returned to the dormitory, she kicked open the door and walked in. The moment she entered, she met Shang Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s interrogative gazes. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched when she saw the look in their eyes. She knew that she couldn¡¯t hide from them. These crazy words that had spread throughout the school still entered their ears. Chunchun was painting her nails as she glanced at her. Huang Amao was eating melon seeds as he glared at her. Anhao sat between the two of them and was stared at for a long time. In the end, she let out a long sigh. ¡°Just ask me what you want to ask. Don¡¯t keep staring at me. The two of you are almost seeing four holes in my body, okay?¡± Chunchun put the nail polish aside and blew on her fingers before glaring at her fiercely.¡±¡±Bastard, how dare you hide it from us for so long? What¡¯s wrong with that guardian uncle? Huang Amao and I saw the photos on Xiao Ya¡¯s phone!¡± Anhao was so angry that she laughed.¡± When did I hide anything from you two? I told you that I had a relationship with Zuo Hancheng, but you two never believed me! Chunchun and Huang Ah looked at each other. It seemed like there was such a thing. ¡°But you said you were married to Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m married to Zuo Hancheng, so I said that he¡¯s one of my guardians. I¡¯ve never lied to you.¡± Anhao blinked innocently. I told you when I treated you to milk tea, but you and Huang Amao didn¡¯t believe me. It¡¯s useless for me to explain.¡± ¡°..¡±Chunchun was speechless. ¡°No way¡­¡± Huang Amao was even more shocked.¡± Gu Anhao, you haven¡¯t even graduated from high school. How could you get married? And that Zuo Hancheng? Do you know who that Zuo Hancheng is?¡± He¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°I know the CEO of Shengling Group.¡±Anhao picked up the pillow on Chunchun¡¯s bed and sat quietly between the two of them to be interrogated.¡±¡±So what? If you don¡¯t believe me, go and look in my bag. The marriage certificate is in there.¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao immediately got up and went to rummage through her bag. When they really saw the little red book inside, the two of them turned around angrily and scolded, ¡°Gu Anhao! You got married so early and didn¡¯t even tell us anything. You lied to us for so long. Do you want to die?¡± Anhao raised her hand to cover her face.¡± Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t drown me with your saliva. I was wrong. I¡¯ll tell you the truth. I¡¯ll answer whatever you ask, okay? ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao turned around and continued to sit beside her, looking as if they were interrogating a new kid. Anhao smiled.¡± This is a long story. I can tell you the truth, but you two must not tell anyone.. If anyone else in the school knows about this, I will ask you two!¡±¡± Chapter 121 - Chapter 121: Hubby, I’m Hungry (2) Chapter 121: Hubby, I¡¯m Hungry (2) Translator: 549690339 After hearing the whole story, Chunchun and Huang Amao finally stopped nagging at her. Instead, she kept scolding Gu Shishi for being despicable and Mrs. Gu for being shameless. Anhao rested her chin on her hand as she sat on the bed and looked at the two of them. She smiled and said,¡± Actually, marrying Zuo Hancheng is not a big deal. I¡¯m curious why they are so surprised¡­¡± ¡°Of course, he¡¯s the big BOSS of Shengling Group. Who wouldn¡¯t be surprised?¡±Huang Amao turned around and shot her a look.¡± Let me tell you, Gu Anhao. Don¡¯t be so ungrateful. You have to hold on to such a powerful person. Don¡¯t lose him!¡± Oh my god, this is too unreal!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Since Prince Charming Zuo can bring you to such an important banquet, he must be interested in you. You must seize it!¡± ¡°How? I haven¡¯t even graduated from high school yet. I¡¯m also very confused, okay¡­¡± Anhao was still holding her chin. ¡°Cut it out. Why are you still confused about marrying a big BOSS like Zuo Hancheng? ¡± How many people want to suck up to him? Gu Anhao, don¡¯t be stupid. Although Professor Yi is indeed good, just like you said, Professor Yi is already engaged, and you are already married to Zuo Hancheng. You can just say goodbye to Professor Yi. . I didn¡¯t consider him. Ever since Yi Zeyang got engaged, I didn¡¯t dare to consider him again.¡± Even though she said that, Anhao¡¯s emotions still sank when Yi Zeyang was mentioned. ¡°Why are you bringing this up?¡±Huang Amao glared at Chunchun.¡± Don¡¯t mention Professor Yi anymore. Anhao is now Zuo Hancheng¡¯s little red book. Why are you mentioning Professor Yi? Chunchun was embarrassed and reached out to poke Anhao¡¯s shoulder with her finger.¡±¡±l won¡¯t mention it in the future. I won¡¯t mention it again¡­¡± Anhao slapped her hand away.¡± Come on, with your love-struck personality, it¡¯d be strange if you didn¡¯t mention it. But it¡¯s fine now. This is all a personal grudge between Yi Zeyang and me. It¡¯s also a long-time dispute. Actually, now that you¡¯ve let it go, you¡¯ll be able to let it go. It just takes time. ¡°But Anhao, since you¡¯ve already obtained Zuo Hancheng, you must catch him. Don¡¯t let him fly away.¡± ¡± Yes, yes, yes. You must catch him. I heard that Shengling Group moved back to China from the United States five years ago. Zuo Hancheng used to live in the United States, right? Anhao, you must learn the most basic things from now on.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°What basic stuff?¡± Anhao laughed.¡± When she thought about how Zuo Hancheng said that he wanted to try to fall in love with her, Anhao felt that he was not joking. However, she did not know where to start. She did not know how to catch her husband. After all¡­That was Zuo Hancheng¡­ ¡°There¡¯s a saying that goes, if you want to capture a man¡¯s heart, you have to capture his stomach. You should understand this, right?¡±Huang Amao also sat beside Anhao.¡±¡±You should learn more about cooking from now on. Isn¡¯t the final exam coming soon? Was it going to be winter break soon? Listen to me, take advantage of your time to read more recipes and cooking books. You have to at least learn how to cook four or five western dishes to capture his stomach first.¡± ¡°You have to learn some Chinese dishes too. Anhao, what do you know?¡± ¡°I can cook instant noodles¡­¡¯ ¡°President Zuo, there¡¯s no news from the airport yet.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue flew from Los Angeles to England and then changed planes in London before returning to Chicago. She boarded a flight to China early yesterday morning. We should be able to find her at S City Airport in the next two days.¡± Zuo Hancheng left the company after work. After receiving Mobai¡¯s call, he said in a low voice,¡± ¡°Okay, I will let them keep an eye on Miss Zuo¡¯s news, but Miss Zuo can¡¯t be coming and going to avoid the Zuo family¡¯s sight, right?¡±Mobai was puzzled. Zuo Hancheng rolled down the window and placed one elbow outside the window while the other hand controlled the direction steadily. The chilly night breeze brushed past his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at the road ahead. When he saw a red light at the intersection and slowly stopped the car, he sighed.¡±Yes, Zuo Yue is running away from home. No one in Los Angeles can sleep soundly because of her. She sneaked into China this time. If I don¡¯t catch her soon, I think the whole family will move to China to look for her.¡± ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll have them guard every checkpoint strictly. As soon as Miss Zuo lands, bring her to A City immediately.¡±Mobai said. Zuo Hancheng hung up the phone and rubbed his eyebrows. Before they drove back to Liu Jing Yuan, they recalled Gu Anhao¡¯s argument in the bathroom last night that she had used up all her shampoo, so they drove straight to the parking lot near the supermarket. In a large supermarket, Zuo Hancheng stood in a row of shampoo sections. Looking at all kinds of shampoo, he felt at a loss for the first time. What kind of hair do women usually use? He really didn¡¯t seem to pay much attention to the brand of Anhao¡¯s shampoo. He picked up a few bottles and looked at them for a long time. Suddenly, a voice came from the side. ¡°President Zuo? Why are you here?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was his secretary, Lin Qing, who had left work early today. Lin Qing pushed the shopping cart over and greeted with a smile,¡±¡±My mom just came back from abroad today. I got off work early to pick her up. I¡¯m going out to buy groceries and get ready to eat tonight. I really didn¡¯t expect to see you in the supermarket.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her shopping cart and saw a bottle of shampoo inside. He asked calmly,¡±¡±Which type do girls usually like to use?¡± Lin Qing was stunned for a moment before he noticed the bottle in his hand. He immediately smiled and walked over to the shelf to find a few types.¡±Could President Zuo be buying shampoo for Miss Gu?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the few signs that she had found and did not hide anything. ¡°¡±indeed. ¡± Lin Qing was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s secretary after he returned to Shengling Group five years ago. He was his right-hand man. He was already 32 years old and was very capable. He also knew how to read his boss ¡®mind. She could easily tell that Gu Anhao and President Zuo had a special relationship, so Lin Qing didn¡¯t ask any more questions and directly handed him the few cards he had chosen. ¡°All of these should be suitable for Miss Gu¡¯s hair texture. I just don¡¯t know which one she likes more.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the few fragrances written on the bottle. He remembered that Gu Anhao always had a clean and pleasant fragrance, so he chose one of the light fragrances. Just as he was about to thank Lin Qing, he turned around and saw Lin Qing looking at the fruit and vegetable section not far away with a surprised expression. Zuo Hancheng also looked in that direction and saw Gu Anhao¡¯s figure flash past.. Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: Hubby, I’m Hungry (3) Chapter 122: Hubby, I¡¯m Hungry (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo¡­¡± ¡°That figure looks very familiar,¡± Lin Qing said in surprise.¡± Zuo Hancheng placed the shampoo on the shelf and said,¡¯¡±¡®lt does look familiar.¡¯ As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked in that direction. Seeing this, Lin Qing didn¡¯t dare to go over and disturb them. He took a few glances before pushing the shopping cart beside him and turning around to leave. On the other side. Gu Anhao was in the fruit and vegetable section, choosing all sorts of things. There were already a few slices of steak and black pepper in the shopping cart in front of her. She was thinking about the onions and broccoli. After thinking for a while, she put them all into the shopping cart. Then, she turned around to get a few pounds of eggs and carefully put them into the cart. Suddenly, someone pressed down on the shopping cart. She paused and looked up to see Zuo Hancheng standing in front of her. He was wearing the suit he had worn when he drove back from the company. It was obvious that he had come here directly after work. She could not help but look at him in surprise, then at the time.¡±Why did you come to the supermarket?¡± ¡°What are you buying these for?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He looked at the items in her shopping cart and his handsome eyebrows moved slightly. Anhao didn¡¯t expect him to get off work so early. It was only five o¡¯clock, and she didn¡¯t have evening self-study today. She ran back excitedly, wanting to learn how to cook something to give him a surprise when he came back. She didn¡¯t expect to meet him here at this time! ¡°Uh, to buy some vegetables.¡± Anhao pulled the shopping cart to her side and placed the ketchup, bacon, and other things on the shelf into the shopping cart. Seeing that she was buying a bunch of ingredients for a western-style meal, Zuo Hancheng did not stop her from continuing to buy things. Instead, he simply inserted one hand into her mouth. He stood in his pocket behind her and walked slowly behind her. Since she had already been seen, Anhao didn¡¯t plan to hide it anymore. As she picked out something, she turned around and asked,¡±¡±Do you want to add onions, ginger, and garlic to make western food?¡± ¡°Most of them don¡¯t need to use the system.¡± Hearing his answer, Anhao put down the ginger in her hand and turned around to look at the other ingredients. Finally, Anhao picked up the hotpot ingredients and hesitated for a long time before turning to look at him. ¡°Can I use the ingredients of the hotpot for Western food?¡± ¡°.. I can¡¯t use it.¡± ¡°What exactly are you trying to do?¡± Zuo Hancheng glared at her.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you tell? I want to cook for you tonight.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you always live in America?¡± Anhao asked seriously. I¡¯m probably still used to the western food there. I¡¯ve never cooked western food before, so I want to learn how to cook.¡± ¡°You¡¯re cooking for me?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with interest and took the shopping cart beside her hand to help her push it. Seeing that she was constantly picking out all kinds of condiments from the shelves, he smiled and said,¡±¡±Are you sure it¡¯s not boiled durian?¡± Anhao immediately stopped in her tracks and turned around to glare at him angrily,¡±¡±Don¡¯t mention the matter of cooking durians again! That¡¯s the only black spot in my life! Don¡¯t mention it again!¡± ¡°That¡¯s your ¡®only¡¯ black spot?¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed.¡± The only thing he emphasized was these three words. Anhao rolled her eyes and snatched the shopping cart from him.¡±Go away, I¡¯ll buy it myself! What do you want to buy at the supermarket? Hurry up and buy your things. Don¡¯t be a hindrance! Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m busy?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t want to buy anything, so I came in by chance.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not explain the matter of the shampoo. When the two of them reached the shampoo shelf, Anhao suddenly remembered something and placed the shopping cart beside his hand.¡±¡±Help me push it. I¡¯m going to buy something.¡± Then, he turned around and ran to the shampoo shelf. After searching for a long time, he finally found a bottle of shampoo and put it in the shopping cart. Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and saw that it was the bottle that he was about to buy. Her hair really smelled like this. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± When Anhao looked up, she saw that he was actually smiling. She couldn¡¯t help but frown and poke his arm.¡±This is the first time we¡¯re going to the supermarket together. Can you behave like a good man at home?¡± ¡°I¡¯m already standing here. Isn¡¯t this considered home?¡± Anhao pointed at the pile of snacks not far away.¡±¡±l¡¯ll buy groceries. You go buy snacks for me. After saying that, she avoided his gaze and pushed the shopping cart to run away. However, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice behind her. ¡°Gu Anhao, when did I say that I allowed you to eat snacks?¡± Anhao gritted her teeth. Damn it, he didn¡¯t even get involved in this. This man¡¯s reaction was too fast. According to her normal thoughts, he should turn around and buy snacks for her. That way, when he came back to his senses at home, she could reasonably say that he bought them. How could she not eat them! In the end.. She turned around and smiled.¡± I specially bought so many ingredients today to cook for you. You see, I don¡¯t want any reward. Just let me eat some snacks. I haven¡¯t eaten fries and chips for a long time¡­¡¯ ¡°Wait until you¡¯re sure that your food is edible.¡±Zuo Hancheng stepped forward and pushed the shopping cart in her hand. At the same time, he said, ¡°¡±Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you secretly bought snacks at school. I didn¡¯t let you eat at home to control you and make you eat less.¡± F * ck, there was no room for negotiation! Did he really think that he was her parent or her guardian?! How could he be so lenient! She had been abused by him in the beginning. Now, she thought that the atmosphere between the two of them had improved a lot. Moreover, they were still trying to date, so she thought that he would spoil her a little. In the end, he was so principled! Bastard¡¯s principles! Anhao rolled her eyes at his back. She picked up two green peppers beside her and threw them into the shopping cart. Then, she picked up some fish, prawns, and other things. It was only when Zuo Hancheng stopped her and asked her if she could finish all these things that she remembered that she did not know how to cook. There was no way she could finish all these ingredients, so she stopped putting things in the shopping cart and dragged her husband to the cashier to settle the bill. ¡°Miss Gu, is this your husband?¡± A middle-aged auntie at the cashier counter smiled at Gu Anhao when she saw her. She turned to look at the extraordinary man beside her, and her eyes lit up. After Anhao moved into Liujing Garden, she would visit the supermarket almost every day. Even if she didn¡¯t buy anything, she would still come over to take a walk. She liked the environment where people came and went. The not-so-quiet place gave her a sense of realism and calmness, so the cashier in the supermarket was very familiar with Anhao. Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw his handsome eyebrows moving slightly, indicating that he wanted her to answer the auntie in front of her. ¡°Seriously, I wanted to pretend to be a little girl in front of others, but the moment you appeared, I became a human. Wife.¡± Anhao muttered softly, then turned to the cashier and said with a smile, ¡°¡±Yes, my husband, I¡¯m going to give you a call¡± Chapter 123 - Chapter 123: Hubby, I’m Hungry (4) Chapter 123: Hubby, I¡¯m Hungry (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Aiyo, little girl, I really didn¡¯t expect you to get married at such a young age!¡± The cashier smiled at them as she collected the money.¡±Your husband is so handsome! There are all kinds of crooked melons and broken dates in this world. It¡¯s really rare to see a couple like you who are both so good-looking. You¡¯re a match made in heaven!¡± Anhao felt a little uncomfortable from the compliments, but she turned her eyes and saw that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about the auntie¡¯s compliments at all. He casually picked up a can of crystallizer from the small shelf next to the cashier. After looking at it for a while, he threw it into her shopping cart. Anhao was shocked. Zuo Hancheng actually ate something like glucose? After she paid and walked out of the cashier, Anhao sorted out the shopping bags and a bunch of things in the shopping cart. Finally, when he put it back into the bag, he turned around and said, ¡°¡±1 really didn¡¯t expect you to actually eat glucose, and it¡¯s actually¡­¡± She glanced at the flavor label on the can of crystallizer.¡±Strawberry flavor!¡± ¡°When did I say that it was bought for me to eat?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly.¡± ¡°You took this can of crystallizer from the shelf, okay? If it¡¯s not yours, how can it be mine?¡± ¡°Those are the snacks I gave you.¡± After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he picked up the two bags from the shopping cart and walked straight to the exit. Anhao held the strawberry-flavored syrup in her hand and stared at his back speechlessly. Snacks? Snacks! She wanted to eat snacks, so she tried to convince him to buy her some snacks, but he rejected her. In the blink of an eye, he actually took a bottle of gum to fool her! Anhao wanted to smash the bottle in her hand on his head when she thought of how he had looked at the bottle of glucose in her hand and said calmly,¡± That¡¯s a snack I¡¯m giving you.¡± After leaving the supermarket, he took the shopping bags to the car. It was obvious that he did not even go home just now. He came to this supermarket directly after work. Anhao got into the car. As they were not far from the main entrance of the Liujing Garden, he only had to turn the car around and drive straight into the Liujing Garden. After getting off the car, the baby seemed to want to go through the bag, the ingredients were not in the bag, the bag was squeezed, the hand did not touch the bag, the two shopping bags were already picked up by Zuo Hancheng and carried into the house. Big Boss Zuo looked like a homebody as he carried the shopping bags home. It was quite pleasing to the eye. It was good to have a man at home. She didn¡¯t even have to carry things herself. Anhao entered the room happily. Seeing that he had already taken everything to the kitchen, she quickly ran over and pushed him out of the kitchen. ¡°The kitchen belongs to me today. You can wait to eat the feast I made personally tonight!¡± ¡°You know how to do it?¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously skeptical. Anhao took out her phone and waved it in front of him.¡±¡±Then, you can find many recipes and cooking methods on the Internet. Anyway, it won¡¯t poison you to death. Just wait and eat it today!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her phone and laughed.¡±¡±Why do you suddenly want to cook?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I just want to prove that I don¡¯t just know how to cook durians! ¡°Anhao used all her strength to push him out of the kitchen. She could not resist her strength and was successfully pushed out of the kitchen. Anyway, she would never tell him directly. She only listened to Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s advice and wanted to try to grab his stomach. ¡°Then, here, you are not allowed to cross the boundary within two hours.¡± Anhao used her hand to draw an invisible line on the partition in front of the kitchen door, indicating that this was the dividing line.¡±Don¡¯t come in!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her serious expression again and did not say anything else. He turned his head and pointed his chin slightly in the direction of the kitchen, indicating that she could go in and start cooking the ¡± feast Only then did Anhao return to the kitchen in peace. First, he put on the new white rabbit apron that he had just bought from the supermarket. Then, he washed all the tools that he had bought to make western food. Finally, he began to take the various ingredients from the bag. When she opened the bag and saw the pile of things she had bought, Anhao was stunned. Which one should I start with? The steak had to be freshly fried to taste good, so he would cook the steak last. Let¡¯s make prawns first¡­ He took out the fresh prawns. The prawns were still cold and smelled especially fresh. Then, he fiddled with a bunch of other ingredients and turned around to get the baking soda. However, a thin, white, and clean plate on the cabinet suddenly fell down before it could be placed properly. The sound of something shattering rang out in the kitchen. Anhao cursed softly and quickly lowered her head. He went to pick up the fragments. Zuo Hancheng was free tonight. He did not go to the study to read the documents and information. He was about to sit on the sofa to read the newspaper or the new business newspaper when he heard the sound of plates being smashed from the kitchen. He didn¡¯t get up. He only shook his head and sighed faintly. Then, he calmly picked up the business magazine. As soon as the magazine flipped to the third page, the kitchen was in chaos. The sounds of pots, plates, or knives falling to the ground could be heard one after another. Zuo Hancheng did not move. He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows before he continued to flip to the fourth page. Then, the sound of fresh prawns being put into the oil came from the kitchen, accompanied by Gu Anhao¡¯s loud screams. ¡°Aiya, Zuo Hancheng, what kind of kitchenware is this? How did the oil spill out! It almost scalded me!¡± Zuo Hancheng was so angry that he almost laughed. He turned around and looked in the direction of the kitchen, but he ignored her. Anyway, she had drawn the boundary line at the kitchen door. If he went in now or not, he would be picked on by the little girl. He might as well let her do it herself for a while. ¡°Aiya! Why is it so choking!¡± Anhao kept complaining in the kitchen, and the smell of oil and smoke instantly wafted out. Zuo Hancheng put down the business magazine in his hand and patiently waited for her to call him again when she could not hold on any longer. However, the little girl suddenly stopped talking. There was only the sound of water splashing and the sound of vegetables being washed. It seemed like he was still persisting. Zuo Hancheng curled his lips slightly. Ten, nine, eight, seven¡­ Ten minutes later. A strange smell came from the kitchen. It was the smell of some supplementary ingredients of Western cuisine being brainlessly mixed together. Zuo Hancheng felt that he really couldn¡¯t eat anything tonight. Suddenly, Gu Anhao¡¯s scream came from inside. ¡°Aiya! Why was this fish still alive? I forgot to ask the uncle who sold the fish to help me deal with the fish and put it into the bag! Aiya, why didn¡¯t that uncle remind me!¡± ¡°Ahhh, what about Zuo Hancheng? I don¡¯t know how to cook fish!¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed silently, got up, and walked over. When he reached the kitchen door, he stood down and glanced at the mess inside.. Chapter 124 - Chapter 124: Hubby, I’m Hungry (5) Chapter 124: Hubby, I¡¯m Hungry (5) Translator: 549690339 At the same time, he saw Gu Anhao standing by the pond with the fish tail in her hand. She looked at a loss of what to do. Her other hand was holding a kitchen knife, but she didn¡¯t know where to start. Zuo Hancheng walked over and turned around to look at the charred prawns in the frying pan. He frowned and reached out to turn off the gas stove. Then, he raised his hand to turn on the smoke exhaust fan. When Anhao heard the sound and turned to look at him, he lowered his eyes to see the indignant and awkward expression on her small face. In the end, he was still angered by her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you not let me in?¡± he said. Anhao threw the fish into the clear water in the pond and said in a sullen tone,¡¯¡±¡®l didn¡¯t let you in anyway¡­¡± ¡® Hmph!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± Then continue to quietly cook your feast. Don¡¯t call me again.¡±¡± With that, he turned around and left. Seeing that he didn¡¯t give face to her, Anhao puffed up her face indignantly, but she still reached out to hug his arm. Because her hands smelled fishy, she did not use her hands to hug him. Instead, she bent her arms and used her elbows to clamp his arms.¡±Wait, don¡¯t leave. You¡¯re already in, so don¡¯t leave. I¡­ I, um¡­ I don¡¯t know how to fish¡­ Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and lowered his head to look at her aggrieved expression.¡±¡±Do you not know how to do it or do you not dare to do ¡°If you dare to eat, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? Although the fish scales were a little scary, the word ¡®fear¡¯ had never appeared in my dictionary! I don¡¯t care. You¡¯ll cook the fish and I¡¯ll do the rest.¡± He was still trying to be brave. Zuo Hancheng gestured for her to look at the prawns in the frying pan.¡±¡±You?¡± Anhao followed his gaze and turned to look at the prawns in the frying pan. The prawns were charred black. It was obvious that they were inedible! ¡°Ah!¡± She was shocked. What was going on? How is it black!¡± After saying that, she opened her mouth again.¡± I was distracted by that fish just now and forgot to turn down the fire on the stove!¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re cooking Western food now. Gu Anhao, I won¡¯t believe you if you say you know how to cook Egg Fried Rice.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and patted her little head.¡±¡±lf there¡¯s water in the pot, just add oil. You¡¯re lucky that you didn¡¯t get scalded by the oil. Why didn¡¯t they look for a range hood in such a big kitchen? Do you want to turn this newly renovated house into a smoky wall from the 90s?¡± Anhao shrunk her neck after being slapped by him. She turned around to look at the black prawns in the pot and looked up at him pitifully.¡±Then what should I do? After reading those recipes today, my craving has been aroused. Moreover, I¡¯m already hungry¡­¡± ¡°Do you really want to eat the western food that you made at home?¡± Zuo Hancheng saw the desire in her eyes and her hungry expression. His brows furrowed slightly. It was obvious that he found it unreasonable for her to torture herself so much for a little food. Anhao picked up her phone again and showed him the recipe and picture on it.¡¯¡±¡®Look¡­These pictures looked especially good at first glance¡­ Look at this fried shrimp ball¡­ Look at this fish¡­Look at the steak, the soup, and this¡­ I¡¯m so hungry¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng took her phone and glanced at the so-called western dishes that could only be eaten in western restaurants. He returned the phone to her after a quick glance. ¡°Go wash your face.¡± he said. ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao blinked. ¡°How long do you have to take the exam?¡± While she was hesitating, he suddenly asked seriously. ¡°There are still ten days until the final exam.¡±Anhao recalled the date and answered truthfully. ¡°Go wash your face and take your practice papers and textbooks to tutor.¡± Anhao stood rooted to the ground and refused to leave. She felt that it was too embarrassing. Seeing that she did not move, Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡±¡±Hurry up and go!¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± So what if she was embarrassed? She had already lost all her face anyway. If she continued to stand there, Zuo Hancheng would probably burn her to death. Anhao ran out of the kitchen dejectedly and quickly ran into the bathroom. She washed her hands clean and washed away the seasoning powder on her face. An hour later. Anhao was writing practice papers in the study room. Recently, her studies had improved by leaps and bounds. Every time she wrote a practice paper, she would be able to write 8% of the content. Compared to the previous situation where he could not solve 95 out of 100 questions, the passing rate of 90 was a huge leap. As she was answering the questions, she would occasionally look back at the outside of the study room. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling. She wondered if Zuo Hancheng would be so kind as to cook something with the ingredients she had bought. No matter how messy the kitchen was, at least the ingredients were enough for him to make two simple seafood fried rice or curry rice.. As she thought about it, she wrote the practice papers and finally finished the two papers. She sent Qin Feng a text message, asking him how many days before the exam. She lengthened the tutoring time. After all, she had promised the principal that she would take the exam with Han Ru. She had to improve her grades by a little more. She couldn¡¯t lose face! As soon as she received Qin Feng¡¯s reply, Anhao got up to tell Zuo Hancheng about the extra tutoring time in the past few nights. As soon as she walked out, she saw Zuo Hancheng walking out from the other side. She subconsciously turned to look at the dining table in the living room. There was nothing to eat, not even fried rice. Could it be that the two of them would end up eating takeout or running out to eat in the heavy snow tonight? ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± Anhao asked directly. Actually, she was very hungry¡­ Zuo Hancheng entered the bathroom and changed out of it not long after. She was wearing a shirt and pants. When she walked out, she saw Anhao standing next to the sofa with a disappointed look on her face. She was using her fingers to draw circles on the back of the sofa. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡±¡±Are you going to wait until everything is cold before eating?¡± Anhao was dazed for a moment. It was only when she raised her head and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent gaze sweeping in the direction of the kitchen that she suddenly realized something. She felt as if she had smelled something. As expected, her nose was still sensitive! He had thought that he was hallucinating because he was too hungry! She quickly walked to the kitchen and saw that the dishes inside were exactly the same as the pictures she saw in the online recipe. She was completely shocked. She walked over and smelled them. Then, she used a small fork to dip some seasonings in her mouth and tasted them.. In the next moment, Anhao took out all the delicious food from the cupboard and placed them on the dining table. She then eagerly held the cutlery and plates and said excitedly,¡±¡±lt¡¯s time to eat!¡± She looked so excited and proud as if she had really made them herself. Actually, Anhao was really shocked. She was shocked that Zuo Hancheng had actually fulfilled her wish and used the ingredients she had bought to make the western food that she wanted to eat.. Most importantly, it was even more delicious than the ones in the pictures! Chapter 125 - Chapter 125: Hubby, I’m Hungry (6) Chapter 125: Hubby, I¡¯m Hungry (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao felt really embarrassed. She felt embarrassed as she ate the steak that Zuo Hancheng had painstakingly made. Most importantly, the dishes he made were so delicious that she almost burst into tears. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng from time to time as she cut the steak. She had thought that he liked western food, but it seemed that he was not very interested in it. Although she felt that it was delicious, he put down the cutlery after eating a little. As he took the glass and drank quietly, Anhao chewed on the meat in her mouth and said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t like Western food?¡± Zuo Hancheng was silent for a moment.¡± I¡¯ve been in the United States for more than twenty years. I¡¯m familiar with western food culture. There¡¯s no difference between liking it and disliking it. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Anhao had actually thought about it before. After so many years in the United States, Hancheng should have gotten sick of eating these things. She really couldn¡¯t listen to Chunchun and Huang Amao, those two little brats. Anhao ignored the fact that she was also a little brat and said,¡±¡±lt seems that if I really want to learn cooking in the future, I can forget about western food. I really don¡¯t understand these foreign things. How can a combination of a bunch of raw and cold food be so delicious? It¡¯s completely different from the domestic cooking method.¡± ¡°But then again,¡± Anhao picked up a prawn ball and bit it slowly. She said in enjoyment,¡±¡±lt¡¯s really delicious Zuo Hancheng stood up and looked back at her.¡±¡±Westerners don¡¯t eat as delicately as you think. The dishes that you searched for are all ¡®Western food¡¯ that can only be found in Western restaurants in China. Only those who had lived in the United States would understand that it was just a fancy way of promoting food. It was very different from the food that they often came into contact with in their daily lives.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t care about that. As long as she thought it was delicious, it was fine. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else when he saw that she was not trying to understand the difference between the western culture and was only blindly trying to make some western food. Seeing that she was eating happily, he looked at her and smiled.¡±Can you answer me now? Why do you suddenly want to cook for me?¡± Anhao paused for a moment and looked at him while chewing on the prawn ball in her mouth. He saw Zuo Han standing at the dining table with one hand in his pocket, blocking the light from the living room. His tall and slender figure stood against the light in front of her, but he was so good-looking that she could not help but want to take a few more glances at him. ¡°Oh, I feel like I¡¯m no longer a child. I have to learn some self-reliance skills. Since I want to start learning cooking, and since you¡¯re my husband, of course, I should be the first to taste it. Anyway, whether it¡¯s poisonous or not, I think I should let you be the first to taste it¡­¡¯ Anhao¡¯s answer was not sincere, and her eyes were rolling around, which did not escape Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. He snorted.¡± It seems that I should thank you for not completing this mission today. At least I didn¡¯t get poisoned by you. I should thank the heavens. Anhao was amused.¡± Then, in order to avoid being poisoned by me, shouldn¡¯t you make so much delicious food every day to hinder my plan to murder my husband? ¡°The company is very busy in the last ten days of the year. It should be unable to satisfy your appetite. After a month, I can consider taking a short vacation to satisfy you for a few days.¡± Zuo Hancheng walked straight to the living room. His phone on the sofa rang and he went to answer it. She had thought that Zuo Hancheng would not agree and that Anhao was just joking. However, she did not expect him to respond in such a way. In another month, she would be on winter vacation. Was he planning to take time off during her vacation? He said that he wanted to satisfy her appetite, but he made it sound as if he, a great CEO, could really stay at home and cook for a few days. However, thinking about it carefully, the two of them had been idling at home all day long in the name of husband and wife. Other than eating, they definitely had other things to do! Was it to satisfy her appetite or his? Anhao slowly bit the steak on her fork. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tall and slender back and gradually felt sad. On the second day after the failure of her first cooking show, Anhao was dragged out of the classroom by Chunchun and Huang Amao to ask about the battle. Anhao shook her head. Hence, Chunchun and Huang Amao continued to give Anhao all kinds of so-called ways to capture a man¡¯s heart. In the end, Chunchun suddenly asked, ¡®¡±¡®That¡¯s not right. Anhao is already married and not in a relationship. Shouldn¡¯t she be more direct?¡± Huang Amao suddenly looked at Anhao from top to bottom.¡± That¡¯s right. Anhao and Boss Zuo¡­¡± She pointed to Anhao and the meaning was very obvious. Chunchun¡¯s eyes lit up as well. She suddenly poked Anhao¡¯s shoulder with her hand and winked at her.¡±Did the two of you¡­Yes, yes, ah, ah¡­¡± Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± Your chest and butt are too flat. Boss Zuo doesn¡¯t like you. ¡°Is this even?¡± Huang Amao was instantly enraged.¡± If yours is considered flat, then am I dented?¡± Gu Anhao, you¡¯re letting me down! You and Chunchun are both big, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s really flat!¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She glanced at Huang Amao¡¯s flat chest and then at her soup dumplings. Before she could say anything, her lips were already trembling with laughter. ¡± Hahahaha, anyways, anyways, Anhao probably means that she hasn¡¯t done that with President Zuo yet¡­¡± She smiled as she spoke.¡± Anhao, I think you should focus on practicing your seduction skills. You can skip all the cooking and other methods. You haven¡¯t even slept with Zuo Hancheng before, so why are you still talking to us? ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me practice the Nine Yin Scripture? Charm technique!¡± Anhao glanced at them. ¡°Come on, what I mean is that you can be a little pervert anytime and anywhere to satisfy your husband, okay? Don¡¯t tell me you want to keep your innocence until Boss Zuo is kidnapped by another woman?¡±Chunchun glared at her.¡± Anhao pursed her lips and didn¡¯t answer. How could she still be considered innocent? Other than her last line of defense, she had basically been eaten clean by Zuo Hancheng. How could they still be innocent after so many intimate moments? However, she was too embarrassed to say it, so she simply chose to acquiesce. Chunchun suddenly leaned close to her ear and said,¡± You¡¯re not on the same level as us. We¡¯re still high school students. You¡¯re already a married woman! ¡°Damn Chunchun, you¡¯re the woman!¡± ¡°Pfft¡­Fine, fine, fine. You¡¯re not a woman. I mean, you¡¯re a married woman now, right? Not only do you have to live up to your status as Mrs. Zuo, but you also have to buy some sexy pajamas, uniforms, and so on so that your husband can see your new tricks every day, such as dressing up as a kitten, a little white rabbit. a little nurse. a little policewoman. and so on¡­This is the only wav to hold a man¡¯s heart.. Kitten? Little white rabbit? A nurse? Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched.. Chapter 126 - Chapter 126: Surging Possession (1) Chapter 126: Surging Possession (1) Translator: 549690339 Of course, Anhao had never thought about sexy pajamas. At least, he didn¡¯t plan to think about it now. She was still defending her line of defense. If she really bought those things back as Chunchun said, she might as well not buy anything at all. She would just wash herself clean, strip naked, and lie on the bed waiting for Zuo Hancheng to pounce on her. It was obvious that she was begging him. She was not that stupid! However, Chunchun and Huang Amao had been best friends for so many years. This was the first time Anhao was humiliated by her two best friends. The general content of the humiliation was- Chunchun said to Huang Amao,¡± Anhao, look at your hair. You just grew your ears. Look at those goddess-level girls in our school. Which one of them doesn¡¯t have long hair?! ¡°Also, Anhao, you¡¯re already nineteen. Women should start using eye cream at sixteen, face masks at sixteen, and all kinds of skincare products at eighteen.¡± ¡°But at least you¡¯ve become more sensible recently. You don¡¯t dress like a tomboy like before. At least you¡¯ve been wearing a few dresses occasionally recently, so you look more feminine.¡± ¡± But this isn¡¯t enough. You must dress yourself up nicely. Men are actually very shallow. No matter how great a man is, he is still shallow!¡± If you wanted to capture a man, you either had to be beautiful and feminine enough to capture a man¡¯s heart, or you had to be skilled in bed and capture a man¡¯s appetite in a certain aspect. Otherwise¡­Humph!¡± ¡°A small fry like you will be slapped to death on the beach sooner or later. At that time, you will become an abandoned woman!¡± ¡°Have you read novels about abandoned wives? Don¡¯t tell me you want to wait until you¡¯re despised, taken out of court, or divorced before you consider rising? This won¡¯t do. You must first make yourself better and more beautiful! She absolutely could not give herself a reason to become a chaff wife!¡± Other than attending classes and tutoring, Anhao¡¯s time in school was almost occupied by these two women. Standing in a certain beauty brand¡¯s flagship store, Anhao looked over and was a little stunned. Mask¡­ Wash and wash¡­ Humidifying, Whitening, Freckles Flawless, Firming¡­ Eye cream¡­ Water, milk, essence milk, essence liquid, essence water, essence cream, essence¡­ Anhao felt dizzy. She remembered some brands that Chunchun had recommended before. This shop was one of the brands that Chunchun had recommended. It was said that it was good and not expensive, and the price was affordable. Moreover, it was suitable for skin at their age. In the end, An Hao bought a bunch of skincare products under the recommendation of the makeup instructor. When she entered the house and opened the bag, she saw a bunch of skincare products. She felt that the world of women was too scary. Could applying so many things on her face every day really help her skin care? She then took out two bottles of so-called edible cosmetics and some kind of of protein. She was only nineteen years old, why would she need to replenish her protein? Her entire body was filled with protein! This was much more complicated than putting on heavy makeup in the bar. In the past, he only needed to apply a thick foundation and apply exaggerated eyeshadow and lip gloss, and occasionally put on fake eyelashes. It was done in three steps. This was good. The bag was full of skincare products, and Anhao really had no idea where to start. Since Zuo Hancheng was working overtime at the company today, Anhao went home and started to research skincare plans for herself. She laid out all the tools and tools and arranged them one by one. It seemed like she needed to take care of them properly. Mm¡­ How many facial masks do you have to put on in a night? One photo per hour? Or would he post one every fifteen minutes after showering? Until he fell asleep? Mm¡­ How to use the eye cream¡­ 9:30 PM. Zuo Hancheng pushed the door open. As soon as he walked in, he heard the sound of An¡¯s humming coming from the bathroom. Why was this girl in such a good mood recently? He could vaguely hear Anhao singing, ¡°¡±1 love to bathe My skin is so good Aoaoaooo I love to bathe The turtle fell down Aoaoaoaooo When Zuo Hancheng walked over, he saw that the bathroom door was ajar. It was obvious that she was not showering. The moment he opened the door, he could hear Anhao standing in front of the mirror with an intoxicated expression. There was a white facial mask on her face, and her hair, which was neither long nor short, was held up by a bunch of strange little clips, standing upright around her head like Zhang Fei. ¡°I love to shower Yes, yes, la la la ¡°I want to turn white I want to become pretty Mmhmm Anhao was gently patting her face with her eyes closed, trying to help the essence on the mask absorb quickly. She was humming happily when she vaguely heard the sound of the bathroom door being pulled open. She paused, opened her eyes, and turned her head. She saw Zuo Hancheng looking at her with a different expression. She did not know if he was frightened by her appearance or by her singing. Anhao¡¯s face was plastered with a mask and she couldn¡¯t smile, so she asked with a stiff face,¡±¡±Why are you looking at me like that? It¡¯s weird that I¡¯m doing this. ¡± ¡°What are you getting wind for again?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows as he looked at her face that was covered in a mask and did not dare to smile. He saw with his own eyes that this girl who had never treated herself as a woman was now wearing the newly bought pink bunny pajamas, a facial mask, and a hair clip on her head¡­ It was not an exaggeration to say that she was possessed. Anhao didn¡¯t answer. She just popped her head out and looked at the time.¡±Ten minutes, it¡¯s about time.¡± As she spoke, she took off the mask on her face and patted the remaining mask essence on her face. She turned her eyes and said, ¡°Can¡¯t you tell? I¡¯m doing a facial mask!¡± ¡°I¡¯m slowly developing into a mature woman. After all, I¡¯m almost twenty. Sigh, I¡¯m getting old. I have to start using these things.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°Then what are those things on your head?¡± ¡°You mean these?¡± Anhao raised her hand and pinched the clip on her head.¡±¡±When I went to buy skincare products today, a newly opened shop next door sold a hair growth device. It says that by pinching the hair in clumps like this, it can make the hair grow faster. This way, I might need more than half a year to have long hair.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to his forehead. ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t you tell me to grow my hair? I¡¯m just cooperating. Why do you have such a hopeless face¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng shook his head and sighed. ¡°How old are you? Why are you using these messy things? As for your hair, no matter how hard you study, you should know the story of pulling up seedlings to help them grow. If you don¡¯t want your hair to fall out, throw these things away as soon as possible. Gu Anhao, I¡¯m not interested in nuns.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng rubbed his forehead and turned around to leave, as if he had a headache from being angered by her. Anhao, on the other hand, stood in the bathroom in a daze. After thinking for a while, she quickly removed all the small clips on her head.. Chapter 127 - Chapter 127: Surging Possession (2) Chapter 127: Surging Possession (2) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao woke up the next day, she felt an itch on her face. She stood in the bathroom and scratched her face. Although there was no rash or redness on her face, the slight itch made her afraid to use those skincare products. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Not only did he not sympathize with her, but he also did not have any pity for her. He actually went overboard and said, ¡®¡±¡®Those skincare products might not be a problem, but you¡¯ve over-nourished yourself.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and angrily closed the bathroom door, not letting him look anymore. He was laughing at him early in the morning. He was not human, not human! In the end, Anhao still brought the pile of skincare products she bought yesterday to the dormitory for Chunchun and Huang Amao to use. Although Chunchun and Huang Mao came from decent families, they couldn¡¯t throw away these things. Chunchun and Huang Amao recognized that Anhao had bought all kinds of new products from certain brands. They were definitely high-end skincare products, so they accepted them all without hesitation. After hearing Anhao talk about how she was ridiculed last night, the two women who gave her bad ideas fell on the bed and laughed until their stomachs hurt. Anhao chose to completely ignore the two of them¡­ There were only a few days left before the final exams, and the day of preparation for the big battle was approaching. She did not want to continue working with these two crazy women. After the evening self-study session, she contacted Qin Feng and found out that Qin Feng happened to be working near A High School today. Hence, she planned to take a taxi to Shengling Group with Qin Feng. She walked out of A High School and was about to walk to the place where she had agreed to meet Qin Feng. Just as she turned around and took a few steps, she suddenly saw an unfamiliar black Audi parked by the roadside. The moment she walked over, the window of the Audi¡¯s backseat slowly rolled down. ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes subconsciously glanced at the car, and the person in the car suddenly called her name. Anhao looked at Gu Tianming, who was sitting in the car, in a daze. She looked at the car in front of her carefully, then looked at the arrogant expression on his face, and then looked around. He didn¡¯t understand why Mayor Gu, who hadn¡¯t been to A High School for three years because he was busy, would suddenly appear here. She had no choice but to stop in her tracks.¡± ¡°Is this how you speak to your biological father?¡±Gu Tianming looked at her coldly with dissatisfaction. ¡°A High School is a place that I can¡¯t even get close to. Of course, I came here because of you.¡± ¡°Because of me?¡± Anhao seemed to have heard the funniest joke as she laughed, her eyes filled with mockery. ¡°Mayor Gu suddenly thought of an illegitimate daughter like me in his busy schedule? Why would you suddenly come to A High School to see me? It¡¯s really strange!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I¡¯m your father. You must learn to talk to me with a proper attitude. Don¡¯t look at me as if I¡¯m your enemy every day. ¡°Gu Tianming said coldly,¡±l¡¯m looking for you for something. I couldn¡¯t get through to you these past few days. What¡¯s going on? Anhao scoffed. What else could have happened? Ever since she received a call from Mayor Gu that day, she was surprised by the mayor¡¯s condescension. She felt that he must have something to do with the Gu family when he suddenly called her, and it was definitely not a good thing. In order to avoid being disturbed, she invited her dear Mayor Gu into her blacklist. Seeing that Anhao did not explain and only had a faint mocking smile on her lips, Gu Tianming still looked at her unhappily.¡±Are you going to stand outside the car and talk to me like this? Come on, get in the car. I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t dare to get into the mayor¡¯s car.¡± Anhao glanced at his car again.¡±¡±Besides, don¡¯t you usually use that SUV? I¡¯ve never seen you use this car before. You suddenly asked the driver to drive an unfamiliar car to our school gate and even asked me to get in. How would I know what you were thinking? Why should I get in?¡± Gu Tianming frowned, clearly becoming more and more impatient.¡±Gu Anhao, I¡¯m your father.¡± ¡°I know you¡¯re my dad, but who knows where my dad wants me to go after getting in the car?¡± Anhao snorted and glanced at him.¡± Mayor Gu, it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in your political circle. I was still a child in the past.¡± You can¡¯t do anything to me. Now that I¡¯m an adult, you¡¯ve already set your sights on me, right?¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s face instantly turned green and white, as if some conspiracy had been exposed. After staring at her for a while, he suddenly said,¡±Old Wang, bring her into the car.¡± Sure enough, her guess was right. Mayor Gu, who had never treated her as his daughter, suddenly came to look for her personally. It definitely wasn¡¯t a good thing! If there was anything good, he would have looked for Gu Shishi a long time ago. Why would he look for her? Moreover, it was obvious that Gu Tianming did not know that she had already married Zuo Hancheng. The mother and daughter of the Gu family felt that they had lost face and were really tight-lipped! Anhao smiled and took a step back. When the driver named Old Wang opened the door and was about to get out of the car to drag her into it, she looked up and saw Qin Feng standing across the road. She immediately said, ¡°My friend is waiting for me across the street. Are you sure Mayor Gu wants to force me into the car?¡± Gu Tianming froze and turned to look at the young man across the road who was raising his hand to greet Gu Anhao. He frowned and said unhappily,¡±You have a boyfriend?¡± ¡°Why do you care if he¡¯s my boyfriend? Anyway, our father-daughter relationship will end in another semester. You don¡¯t have to put up with me, and I don¡¯t have to put up with you. This kind of thing is none of your business.¡± Anhao sneered as she turned around. Just as Gu Tianming was about to scold her, she turned around and crossed the zebra crossing, heading straight for Qin Feng. If she hadn¡¯t asked the Qin Feng to come early to tutor her today, she would probably have been taken away by Gu Tianming today. He didn¡¯t even know where he would take her. After Anhao walked up to Qin Feng, she saw that the Audi had not left yet. She suddenly put her hand into Qin Feng¡¯s arm and said with a smile, ¡°Teacher Qin, let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Feng lowered his head in surprise and looked at her. Anhao winked at him, signaling him to cooperate and not push her away. Qin Feng had always remembered Mobai¡¯s words. Gu Anhao was President Zuo¡¯s subordinate. Even if he were to tutor this little girl every day, he absolutely could not do anything out of line with her. He could only treat her as a student and not have any thoughts about her. Although Gu Anhao was indeed a likeable student, Qin Feng didn¡¯t want to be unable to stay in A City. It was only when the Audi drove away and Anhao¡¯s expression relaxed that he quickly pulled his hand away. ¡°What happened to that car just now?¡± he asked in surprise.. Did he run into some trouble? Do we need to tell President Zuo?¡± Chapter 128 - Chapter 128: Surging Possession (3) Chapter 128: Surging Possession (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao shook her head.¡± There¡¯s no need. There are some things in my family that I don¡¯t need to tell him. Qin Feng saw that her expression was normal and her mood didn¡¯t seem to be very down, so he didn¡¯t ask any more questions. He knew that she was just using him to act, so he didn¡¯t say anything more and directly took a taxi with her to Shengling Group. After getting off the car at Shengling Group, Anhao was about to walk in when she suddenly noticed a car parked in front of the plaza. Mobai got out. Then, the door of the passenger seat opened, and a girl about his age got out of the car. As he was standing a little far away, Mobai didn¡¯t notice Anhao¡¯s side. He only followed the young girl as she strode into the company. Mobai kept saying something to her, but the girl¡¯s expression was ugly and impatient as she wanted to shake him off, as if she found him long-winded. Anhao was secretly amused. After all, he was the special assistant of the CEO of Shengling Group. He was considered a senior executive who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. In the end, he was despised by a little girl. Anhao and Qin Feng walked in as well. Anhao was a little surprised when she saw Mobai and the girl enter the CEO¡¯s private elevator together. Such special treatment¡­ Who was that girl? There were three elevators dedicated to the president of Shengling Group. The first elevator had already gone up, so Anhao and Qin Feng went to the other one. When they reached the top floor of the building, Anhao was about to walk towards the CEO¡¯s office when she saw Mobai coming out from there. When he turned to look at her and Qin Feng, Mobai¡¯s expression changed slightly and he quickly walked over. ¡°Miss Gu, it might not be convenient for you to go to the CEO¡¯s place today.¡± Anhao immediately looked in the direction of the CEO¡¯s office, then looked at Mobai¡¯s hesitant expression. She then raised her finger and pointed in that direction,¡±¡±Just now, that girl was looking for Zuo Hancheng?¡± Not expecting her to see it, Mobai could only nod his head. Aiya! Look, look! In the end, she still bumped into him! What about trying to fall in love! But in the end, Zuo Hancheng was actually so interested in the flowers of the motherland. Other than her, there were countless other flowers outside. The beautiful girl just now looked about the same age as him! Anhao snorted and walked towards the CEO¡¯s office. She mumbled,¡±¡±Such a good opportunity, I have to go to the scene!¡± Qin Feng, who was listening from behind, was stunned for a moment. He didn¡¯t follow her and only exchanged a glance with Mobai. Mobai¡¯s eyelids twitched and he suddenly turned around to catch up to her. ¡°Miss Gu, Miss Gu, it¡¯s really not convenient for the CEO to go in today. You¡¯d better not go in. Wait until after the matter is over¡­¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I? You already know who I am to Zuo Hancheng. No matter what, now that I know that there is a woman in his office, how can I not enter? I have to go in and take a look!¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s serious expression, Mobai raised his hand to stop her from opening the door when she was already at the door of the CEO¡¯s office.¡±¡±lt¡¯s not easy to explain the situation inside now. Moreover, that little ancestor is even harder to please than you. You must not enter at this time¡­¡¯ Anhao looked like she was about to catch him in the act. She raised her hands and crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at him from the corner of her eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that no one but me can enter Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office?¡± ¡°Yes, but this person is an exception¡­¡¯ ¡°An exception?¡± Hearing the word ¡®exceptional¡¯ made Anhao¡¯s heart ache. She couldn¡¯t quite understand where this inexplicable sourness came from, but she felt very uncomfortable, especially when she saw Mobai¡¯s troubled expression. What was this pretentious feeling? Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to try to fall in love? Didn¡¯t they not fall in love yet? What was there to be jealous about? She should have known that a Derson like Zuo Hancheng would never be her cup of tea, and she would never be his one and only. How could someone like him be¡­ But still¡­ Sour¡­ In order to get herself out of this unrealistic relationship as soon as possible, she reached out and pushed the office door open while she still had time to turn back. Mobai didn¡¯t expect her to open the door after a moment of silence. He didn¡¯t have time to guard against it, and the door in front of him was instantly opened. The moment she opened the door, she heard a delicate female voice from inside.¡±l don¡¯t care! I want to live with you!¡± An Hao shivered. Oh my god! She, Gu Anhao, had seen people begging for a mistress, a warm bed, money, and so on, but she had never seen someone so brazenly begging to live together! This girl was even one rank higher than him! It was too amazing! At the same time, she glanced at the girl beside Zuo Hancheng. Her hands were tightly wrapped around his arms. She was acting coquettishly. Not only did Zuo Hancheng not push her away, but he also turned his head to look at her as if he was patiently coaxing her. Anhao¡¯s eyelids kept twitching as she watched. She felt so cold that she didn¡¯t have to continue watching. She was afraid that she would feel too stifled. Most importantly, she had already pushed the door open for a long time, and the girl had already turned her head to look at her with a surprised expression. Zuo Hancheng still did not turn his head. It was obvious that he did not take her seriously at all! Anhao clenched her fists and was considering whether to leave or not. If he didn¡¯t leave, wouldn¡¯t he be tortured? Wouldn¡¯t it be too embarrassing to leave? Just as she was about to turn around, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice came from the office.¡±Come in.¡± Come in? Was this for her? Anhao turned to look at him.¡± How was she supposed to get in under these circumstances? The girl next to Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised her eyebrows and imitated Anhao¡¯s arrogant behavior as she crossed her arms in front of her chest and glared at her coldly.¡±¡±Who are you?¡± Anhao glanced at her and did not say anything. She only looked at Zuo Hancheng, wanting to see what he would say next. It was only then that Zuo Hancheng turned to look at Anhao. The moment their eyes met, he saw the fire in Anhao¡¯s eyes. His eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he finally knew what she had misunderstood. Seeing that Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng were ignoring her, the girl still crossed her arms and glared at An for a while. Suddenly, she leaned over and asked Zuo Hancheng,¡±¡±Brother, who is she?¡± The girl¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but it wasn¡¯t very low. When Anhao heard the word ¡± brother ¡°, the high wall that she had been preparing to erect in her heart crumbled like a wall. Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and massaged the space between his eyebrows.¡± Anhao, go to the rest room to tutor. Don¡¯t think too much. She¡¯s my sister. Anhao quickly put down her hands that were crossed in front of her chest..¡±¡±Who said I was overthinking¡­¡± Chapter 129 - Chapter 129: Surging Possession (4) Chapter 129: Surging Possession (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao quickly put down her hands that were crossed in front of her chest.¡¯¡±¡®Who said I was overthinking¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, had a headache from his sister¡¯s constant pestering. He waved his hand and gestured for her to enter the lounge, as if he did not want Anhao to have too much contact with his sister for the time being. Anhao subconsciously turned to look at Qin Feng who was behind her. Qin Feng nodded and walked over, intending to enter the resting room with her. However, the girl beside Zuo Hancheng stared at Anhao and Qin Feng for a long time and said in surprise,¡¯¡±¡®Tutoring in your resting room? Brother, are you expanding your business into the education industry? Is your resting room used for tutoring? Did I hear wrongly?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain. He said to Mobai, who was standing outside the door,¡±¡±Mobai, bring Zuo Yue out and arrange a place for her to stay.¡± Mobai walked in.¡± Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go anywhere else. I want to live with you!¡± Zuo Yue acted coquettishly and wrapped her arms around Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm.¡±¡±Brother, I want to live with you. Your house definitely won¡¯t be small. No matter what, it can fit me in. I haven¡¯t seen you for so long.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s firm answer shocked Zuo Yue.¡±¡±Why not? I¡¯m your sister. It¡¯s not a big deal for me to live with you! Since you¡¯ve caught me and even informed my family to bring me back to the United States, I can only live in China for a week at most. Don¡¯t you want to reunite with your biological sister for a week? Must you let me stay in a hotel?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t stay in a hotel. I¡¯ll arrange another place for you, an apartment, or¡­¡± ¡°No, I want to stay at your place. You moved your company here for five years, but I haven¡¯t come to see you. I want to see where you live now.¡± Mobai looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s troubled expression and felt sorry for his boss for the first time in his life. A 19-year-old wife and an 18-year-old sister. Zuo Hancheng, the international president of Shengling Group, who was known for his ability to kill people in the business world, had been tortured by two little girls. Mobai did not know whether he should feel sorry for his boss or laugh. Anhao had already entered the resting room, but she could still hear Zuo Yue¡¯s voice through the door. As she flipped open the book, she turned to look at Qin Feng and whispered, ¡°Teacher Qin, is your sister okay?¡± ¡°No.¡± Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°Do you think some girls have a brotherly fetish? For example, she had slept with her brother when she was young, but she still wanted to sleep with her brother when she grew up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± Qin Feng said with a serious expression. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the door behind him. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, ¡°However, this Miss Zuo was born and raised in America after all. I don¡¯t know about the education situation there, but there are indeed not many people who stick to their brother like her.¡± ¡°See, I was right. This Zuo Yue is likely to have a brother fetish. ¡°Anhao nodded her head affirmatively as she spoke. Qin Feng frowned when he saw her doing the questions in the textbook while talking.¡± Anhao, after so many days of tutoring, this is the first time you¡¯ve answered five questions wrongly in a row. You haven¡¯t even finished the sixth question, but the formula has already been written wrong¡­¡¯ Anhao paused for a moment and looked down at the questions under her hand.¡±ls there?¡± The corners of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. Perhaps it was because they had known each other for a long time and were familiar with each other, but he still felt that she would occasionally act like a child. He raised his hand and patted her back gently. His attitude was comforting. At the same time, he said in a low voice, ¡°Anhao, you still need time to grow up when it comes to relationships. You have to learn to be indifferent to everything.¡± ¡°The most practical thing is to make yourself more and more outstanding. Since you¡¯re sitting here tutoring, just focus on tutoring and don¡¯t think about other things.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t speak after she heard that. She only lowered her head to look at the textbook under her hand. She silently took a piece of paper to redo the topic, trying her best to calm herself down and not listen to the commotion outside. However, this was also the first time Anhao realized that she was only Zuo Hancheng¡¯s younger sister, but she actually realized that she had a little possessiveness towards Zuo Hancheng¡­ Just a little¡­lt should be just a little¡­ Perhaps not many¡­ As it turned out, even Zuo Hancheng, who was a man of his word in the business world, had to bow down to Zuo Yue¡¯s pestering skills when facing an eighteen-year-old girl. Mobai had already taken Zuo Yue away. At night, Zuo Hancheng and Anhao had just returned to the Gilt Scenery Garden when they received a call from Zuo Yue. Anhao was about to put down her bag when she turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng turning around with a dark expression after taking the phone. She could not help but ask,¡¯¡±¡®What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡® Zuo Yue took a taxi to follow us and followed us all the way here. Now, she was stopped by the security guards of Liu Garden. They said that she was not wearing a coat and was suffering from the cold outside. They asked me to pick her up.¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and walked out of the room. This time, not only was Zuo Hancheng impressed, even Anhao was impressed! Half an hour later- Anhao and her sister-in-law sat on the sofa facing each other while Zuo Hancheng sat on Anhao¡¯s side. He could see that the two little girls ¡®eyes were about to spew fire, but he could not take the initiative to provoke them. ¡°Brother, you actually got married without a sound¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at Anhao and said to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched, but his voice was calm.¡¯¡±¡®Yes.¡± Anhao blinked and didn¡¯t say anything. Then, her sister-in-law spoke again.¡± You actually got married behind our backs. Mom and Dad always said that I was too rebellious at my age. In the end, you actually did such a rebellious thing behind our backs! You actually got married just like that!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed. It was obvious that he did not approve of the word ¡®rebel¡¯. These two words were more applicable to the two of them. However, he did not fuss about it and only looked at Zuo Yue indifferently.¡±¡±The United States has already been informed to come and pick you up in a week at the latest. Are you sure you want to stay here for the next few days?¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t answer. She just stared at Anhao.¡± Hey, how did you get my brother?¡± Most importantly, you seem to be about the same age as me. Why didn¡¯t I know that my brother had such a hobby?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to have such a young sister.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Eighteen years old? Tsk tsk, she was also in her third year of high school. In the end, it was said that her sister-in-law did not want to be sent to England for university after graduation next year. After arguing with her family, she ran away from home in a fit of anger. In the blink of an eye, she ran to China and fell into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s territory. She was caught in less than two days.. Chapter 130 - Chapter 130: Surging Possession (5) Chapter 130: Surging Possession (5) Translator: 549690339 Eighteen years old? Tsk tsk, she was also in her third year of high school. In the end, it was said that her sister-in-law did not want to be sent to England for university after graduation next year. After arguing with her family, she ran away from home in a fit of anger. In the blink of an eye, she ran to China and fell into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s territory. She was caught in less than two days. ¡°I¡¯m young? You actually called me small?¡± Zuo Yue widened her eyes and looked at Anhao.¡±You have the cheek to call me small? How old are you?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± ¡°No way! Today, I heard that you brought a tutor to my brother¡¯s company for tutoring. I saw the textbooks in your bag just now. You¡¯re actually in the third year of high school like me! You¡¯re the same age as me!¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m one year older than you!¡± ¡°One year older is considered older? You still have the cheek to say that I¡¯m young?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t being a year older considered old? Not only am I older than you, but I¡¯m also your sister-in-law. I¡¯m older than you in both age and seniority.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not convinced! Why? Why did my brother marry a little girl like you?¡± ¡°You, an eighteen-year-old brat, actually called me a little girl? You¡¯re the little girl!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a little boy!¡± ¡°You¡¯re even younger!¡± ¡°Brother is bullying me!¡± ¡°Hubby is bullying me!¡± Zuo Hancheng rubbed the space between his eyebrows silently. ¡°Brother, this woman is too unreasonable. You gave up so many beautiful sisters and married such a child!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a child. You¡¯re the child.¡± ¡°You are, you are a child!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not!¡± ¡°Brother, do you think she¡¯s a child? She hasn¡¯t even graduated from high school and she actually dares to get married. Brother, you actually dare to marry her?¡± ¡°Hubby, how am I small? You judge, am I young? Am I small?¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to signal for him to STOP.¡±¡±Shut up.¡± Zuo Yue snorted and sat back on the sofa, rolling her eyes at Anhao. Anhao sat next to Zuo Hancheng and turned her head away unhappily. Zuo Hancheng pinched the space between his eyebrows. He turned his gaze to the side and saw that the two little girls were finally willing to keep quiet. He felt as if he had been pardoned. He heaved a sigh of relief and said,¡±Zuo Yue, there¡¯s a newly renovated bedroom upstairs.¡± Zuo Yue looked at the direction of the stairs and did not say anything. It was obvious that she had accepted it. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°That¡¯s my bedroom!¡± Anhao became even more unhappy.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± You were just saying that you¡¯re older, and now you¡¯re throwing a tantrum like a child?¡¯¡±¡® Anhao snorted coldly.¡± I¡¯ve only moved in for a few days, and now you¡¯re letting someone else move in? Even if she¡¯s your sister, what right does she have?¡± Why should I tolerate and give up?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re an adult and she¡¯s a child.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Just this one sentence instantly soothed all of Anhao¡¯s unwillingness. Obviously, he was now the one who had asked Zuo Hancheng to judge the matter. After Zuo Yue heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, she angrily picked up the pillow on the sofa and threw it at Anhao. Anhao took the pillow and secretly smiled when she saw Zuo Yue standing up angrily. After all, Zuo Hancheng was still on her side. After all, it was just a bedroom, and this was her sister-in-law. It would not be a big deal to let her stay in the bedroom for a few days. However, just as she thought of this, she was suddenly stunned.¡±That¡¯s not right. Where do I stay?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. His eyes were dark, and the answer was obvious. When Anhao regained her senses, she suddenly turned to look at his indifferent expression and then at the bedroom that she had escaped from with great difficulty. No way, she had just escaped from the tiger¡¯s mouth, and she was actually going to live with him again! Then wouldn¡¯t she have wasted so many days! Zuo Yue suddenly stuck her head out and said sneakily,¡¯¡±¡®Brother, your family doesn¡¯t know about your marriage yet. I¡¯m going to call Mom and tell her!¡± ¡°She already knows. You don¡¯t have to tell her.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was calm. ¡°Mom already knows?¡± Zuo Yue was surprised. When?¡± ¡°Of course, when you don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t ask anymore. Go and rest.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not right¡­How did Mom know? Ah, did Mom contact you a few days ago? What did you tell Mom? She has been looking forward to your marriage for so long, from America to China. In the end, you quietly married one.¡± ¡°Do you think she¡¯s as weak as you?¡± ¡°How am I weak?¡± ¡± You¡¯re running away from home at such a young age. You¡¯re also spoiled. Go up and rest quickly. Leave my sight in ten seconds!¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Yue turned her head and snorted. This matter¡­ Anhao knew about this. When she thought about the phone call she received from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother that day, Anhao felt ashamed and afraid that she would be banned by her future mother-in-law. ¡°But, brother, you and this¡­This¡­¡± Zuo Yue secretly pointed at Anhao. At such a young age¡­l didn¡¯t know that you had such strong tastes!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired from being brought back from the airport? Take your luggage and go to bed.¡±Zuo Hancheng frowned. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and suddenly reached out to snatch the pillow back from Anhao¡¯s hands. When Anhao turned to look at her, she snorted at her with a smug look on her face and went upstairs with the pillow and luggage. This was the first time Anhao had been at a loss whether to laugh or cry in front of someone she was not familiar with, just because she was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s younger sister. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had just gone along with her wishes and said that she was an adult in front of Zuo Yue. Anhao was very pleased with that, so she could only endure it. ¡°Did your sister like to stick to you in the past?¡±Anhao asked after Zuo Yue went upstairs. Finally, the two little girls were separated for the time being. The air was filled with a sense of silence. Zuo Hancheng was enjoying this silence. When he heard Anhao¡¯s words, he turned to look at her.¡±When I was eleven years old, I made milk powder for her. Does that count?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve done such a thing before?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed.¡± It was during the two years when Zuo Yue was born. I would occasionally do my duty as an elder brother when I had the time. Later on, I was busy with my studies. Later on, I focused on my career and company. I had no time to go back. Even if she wanted to stick to me, she had no chance.¡± ¡°Then she¡­¡¯ ¡°She has a crazy personality and can hang out with anyone. This time, she sneaked into the country and was caught by me. She has been acting coquettishly with me for a long time, saying that she wants to stay here. The scene you saw at the company today was after she was rejected by me.¡± After a pause, Zuo Hancheng continued,¡±¡± Zuo Yue will be leaving in a week at most. You might as well look at it from the perspective of an elder sister-in-law. Don¡¯t be too calculative with her. She¡¯s more willful than you. Bear with it.¡± Anhao did not feel much pain, but she suddenly rolled her eyes at him.¡±¡±What do you mean she¡¯s more willful than me? Am I willful?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been married for so long, but you insist on sleeping in separate rooms. Isn¡¯t that being willful?¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly reached out and stroked her hair. He smiled meaningfully and said,¡±¡±l should thank Zuo Yue for occupying your bedroom. That girl has done a good deed unintentionally.¡± Anhao was speechless.. Chapter 131 - Chapter 131: Surging Possession (6) Chapter 131: Surging Possession (6) Translator: 549690339 At night. Zuo Yue ran down the stairs in her pajamas. She was holding a strangely shaped lollipop in her mouth. The braids on his head were untied, and he did not look tired at all from the journey. At this moment, Anhao was still dawdling and refusing to enter the bedroom. Zuo Yue saw Anhao sitting on the sofa with an English book in her hand as if she was memorizing English words, so she ran down excitedly. The sofa suddenly caved in and Zuo Yue moved closer to Anhao. She looked down at the English book in Anhao¡¯s hands and clicked her tongue. ¡°Aiya, Chinese students actually learn such child¡¯s play!¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched as she closed the English book in her hand.¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you sleeping yet?¡± ¡°I¡¯m jet-lagged. I¡¯m even more energetic than before. How can I sleep?¡± Zuo Yue said as she held a lollipop in her mouth. She turned around and glanced at Zuo Hancheng, who was walking out of the bedroom. Suddenly, she asked with a sly smile,¡±¡±By the way, I just remembered when I went to the bedroom upstairs. Brother, aren¡¯t you guys married? Why are you sleeping in separate rooms?¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to carry Anhao back to the bedroom when he saw Zuo Yue, that crazy girl, sitting on the sofa with Anhao. Hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s provocative question, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Do you have any objections?¡± Seeing that he did not answer her question directly, Zuo Yue snorted and looked sideways at the English book in Anhao¡¯s hand.¡¯¡±¡®Do all the high school students here have to study English so hard? Do you still need to learn this kind of thing?¡± ¡°Do you think everyone grew up in the United States and received an American education?¡±Anhao replied in a bad mood, ¡°We have a lot to learn. I guarantee you haven¡¯t heard of it.¡± ¡°Tsk, is there anything I haven¡¯t heard of?¡±Zuo Yue grabbed the book from Anhao¡¯s hands and flipped through it. She asked casually, ¡®¡±¡®There are very few compulsory courses in our high school. At most, there are only one or two subjects. Algebra 1, algebra 2, calculus, science, health, art, and so on.¡± When Anhao heard that, she suddenly felt that Chinese children grew up under oppression. She had heard that the education methods in the West were different from those in China. The West had a lot of freedom in learning, but they¡­ Anhao snatched the English book back and said ambiguously,¡±¡±lt¡¯s even simpler for us.¡± ¡°Only three?¡± Zuo Yue was surprised. She heard that Chinese students had to learn a lot of things. ¡°Yes, we only have science and humanities, plus English.¡±Anhao smiled proudly and raised her eyebrows at her.¡±Simple, right? Envious? Do you want your family to let you study in China?¡± ¡°That simple? Only these three?¡± Zuo Yue turned around in surprise and looked at the silent Zuo Hancheng. She ignored his unfathomable expression and said with a yearning look,¡±¡±Brother, can you let me come to China to study? I¡¯m not going back to America, okay?¡± Anhao secretly laughed. While Zuo Yue was pestering Zuo Hancheng, she got up with her English book and walked quickly into the study room. Zuo Yue¡¯s pestering voice could be heard from outside the study. ¡°Brother, it seems that the Americans around me have misled me. They all say that Chinese students are especially tough. They have to learn a lot of rigid things.¡± ¡°So their words are so unreliable! If I had known that I only needed to study three courses in China, I would have asked my parents to send me here!¡± ¡°Brother, please help me plead for mercy and let me stay here. I¡¯m not going back!¡± ¡® Don¡¯t mess around.¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± Go to sleep.¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Yue pouted, walked over, grabbed his arm, and started shaking him.¡±¡±Brother, I want to come to China. I want to go to school here too¡­You see, Anhao just said that I only need to study science and humanities. English is almost like my mother tongue to me, so I won¡¯t be too difficult. This way, I only need to learn two. It¡¯s so easy. Just let me stay here¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed slightly.¡± Go and find out what science and liberal arts include. If you still insist on studying in China after you¡¯ve found out, I won¡¯t stop you. ¡°Really?¡± Zuo Yue became excited. ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± ¡± I¡¯m not going to tell you.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her seriously.¡± Now, immediately, disappear.¡±¡± Zuo Yue pouted and shook off his hand. She made a funny face at him, turned around, and ran upstairs happily. The conversation outside was temporarily stopped. Anhao was holding back her laughter in the study until her stomach hurt. After putting away her books, she turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked to the door of the study. She saw Zuo Hancheng leaning against the door with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He looked at her leisurely but with a heavy gaze. It was obvious that he had some complaints about her fooling Zuo Yue earlier. Anhao held back her laughter and walked over. She stuck her head out and looked at the stairs. She turned to look at him and asked softly,¡±¡±She went up?¡± ¡°Are you deliberately trying to keep her in A City?¡± he asked.¡± ¡°Where?¡± Anhao finally couldn¡¯t hold back her laughter.¡±¡±Who asked her to discriminate against me for memorizing English vocabulary just now? Also, she clearly wanted to say that her studies were very easy. You should already know my personality very well.¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng raise his eyebrows, Anhao was amused.¡±¡±Besides, I¡¯m not lying. We¡¯re divided into liberal arts and science. As for what liberal arts and science include, I¡¯m not responsible for it. It¡¯s her business. If she doesn¡¯t bully me, I won¡¯t lie to her. I thought I was being fair!¡± ¡® Hmph!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± I suddenly feel that this week won¡¯t be easy. ¡®¡±¡® ¡°Is there? Why don¡¯t you go out and hide? It just so happens that I¡¯m used to sleeping alone¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already put down his arms and suddenly leaned forward to hug her waist and pull her into his embrace. When Anhao stared at him in surprise, he smiled. His smile was peerlessly beautiful, like a demon in the world. While Anhao was stunned, he kissed her ear. ¡± It¡¯s easy for you to fool Zuo Yue. If you want to fool me, you¡¯ll probably have to cultivate for another few decades.¡¯ As soon as he finished speaking, a warm kiss was already lingering on her ear. Anhao shuddered and quickly raised her hand to push him away. However, her waist tightened. As she cried out in surprise, Zuo Hancheng picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bedroom. Anhao wanted to cry out in shock, but just as she was about to speak, he seemed to have telepathy and instantly lowered his head to block her mouth, sucking her lips so that she wouldn¡¯t have the chance to find a reason to resist. After being carried into the bedroom, Anhao saw him casually close the door with his foot from the corner of her eye. The sound of him locking the door was heard.. Chapter 132 - Chapter 132: Surging Possession (7) Chapter 132: Surging Possession (7) Translator: 549690339 The sound of him locking the door was heard. Anhao instantly felt like she was about to be completely obliterated. She subconsciously turned around to look at the lock of the door. She had already been thrown onto the soft bed in the master bedroom. Anhao¡¯s entire body tensed up, and she forgot to struggle for a moment because of his sudden overbearing kiss. Could it be that she already liked him? She opened her eyes in shock and peeked at the man who was pressing her against the bed. Anhao felt like she was in a sea of ice and fire. She didn¡¯t know how to react at this moment, but she felt that she had no way out. When she realized that she had actually fallen in love with him a little, she seemed to have no way out. Anhao slowly closed her eyes. For the first time, she had the guts¡­He didn¡¯t particularly want to resist the feeling¡­ In the past, she was not particularly resistant. She was just afraid that she would fall into this marriage that she felt was not real. She was afraid that there was too much difference between the two of them. She was afraid of too many things. However, now that she realized that she had already begun to fall for him, should she really do as Chunchun and the others had said? No matter what, she should use Mrs. Zuo¡¯s perspective as a starting point to keep such a person who she had never even dared to think about before. Anhao was a little out of breath and wanted to push him away. She wanted to catch her breath and respond, but her hands were useless on him. Instead, she was being suppressed and restrained by his waist. His palm was very warm, and because of the two of them. The temperature of the kiss gradually rose. Anhao no longer had the strength to think. When he realized that she was being obedient today, he gradually relaxed his grip on her and his kiss became gentler. She raised her hand and hugged his waist. When Anhao came back to her senses and realized that she was really taking the initiative to respond, she suddenly opened her eyes and instinctively wanted to speak. ¡°Zuo, Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Anhao suddenly opened her mouth and called his name in a very soft voice. He looked down at her flushed face under the dim yellow light in the bedroom. His eyes were filled with an evil desire as he looked down at her. Anhao met his deep eyes that were filled with dark ripples.¡±Have you ever loved anyone?¡± She couldn¡¯t take back the words that she had said. Anhao saw that the heat in his eyes was gradually replaced by coldness. She knew that she had really said something that she shouldn¡¯t have said, and it seemed to be something that she really shouldn¡¯t have said! She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to explain, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s action was to slowly pull up the zipper of her pants and fasten the buttons on her jeans with force. He returned Anhao to her neat and tidy appearance and then left her body. Anhao quickly sat up. Seeing that he had suddenly stood up, she turned around, got off the bed, opened the bedroom door, and walked out without looking back at her. She did not expect this outcome at all. She finally broke through her psychological barrier and wanted to become his woman completely. She asked him if his heart was clean and there was no one else in it. Although the way she asked was a little wrong and it was indeed not the right time, his reaction was¡­ She didn¡¯t know what to do. Anhao looked at the back view outside the bedroom door and saw Zuo Hancheng silently walking through the living room to the study room. Because Zuo Yue was occupying the upper floor, he could not go up. So he was planning to leave her in the bedroom and go to the study room just like that? why? Although she shouldn¡¯t have asked him that question, why did he react like that? Anhao pulled her shirt down again and smoothed out the creases on her clothes. She looked at the figure who had already entered the study and quickly got up to walk over.. Chapter 133 - Chapter 133: Zuo Hancheng’s Cold Violence (1) Chapter 133: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Cold Violence (1) Translator: 549690339 This was the first time Anhao had seen Zuo Hancheng like this. She saw him walking into the study. He did not take any documents, nor did he turn on his computer to look at the things related to the company in his email. He just stood in the study, quiet, independent, and silent. It was as if he had suddenly cut off a world from her. This made Anhao feel that what she said just now was really brainless. It was originally just a slip of the tongue, but it seemed that she had made things complicated. She walked over to his side and tugged at his sleeve.¡±¡±What I meant just now was actually¡­ I express the wrong, I mean the wrong, I am.¡± ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Go to sleep.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his arm slightly and pulled his sleeve away from her grasp. While Anhao was stunned for a moment, he looked back at her. That look, quiet and gentle, was faintly cold. It was like an instant that added an unknown distance, making Anhao speechless. ¡°Please don¡¯t misunderstand. You know that I usually don¡¯t think before I speak. I know that being young isn¡¯t a reason, but I really said that without thinking. I don¡¯t mean anything else, and I don¡¯t suspect you¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t misunderstand. You didn¡¯t say anything wrong. Don¡¯t think too much about it. Go and rest.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was very indifferent. He looked at her indifferently and signaled her to leave with his eyes. Anhao didn¡¯t like misunderstandings between the two of them. She didn¡¯t care how others misunderstood her, but if the people she cared about misunderstood her, she would feel very uncomfortable. She had already explained as quickly as she could and regretted her recklessness. However, she really could not understand why Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were so cold at this moment. She put her hands into her pockets awkwardly and stood beside him. She wanted to stand with him for a while, but when she received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze again, she had no choice but to turn around and walk out. After she walked out of the study room, she paused for a moment and looked back, but she saw that he was not looking at her at all. Anhao turned around silently and returned to the bedroom. But that night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When Anhao woke up the next day, she felt a terrible headache because she didn¡¯t sleep well last night. She was still thinking about what happened last night. Although she didn¡¯t understand why he would suddenly change his attitude because of her words, Anhao still felt that it was her fault. She got up and planned to go to the study to take a look. However, when she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Zuo Yue sitting at the dining table with a piece of bread with jam in her mouth. Her hair was messy and she seemed to have not slept well like Anhao. Anhao only glanced at Zuo Yue before walking straight to the study. Seeing that the door was tightly shut, she reached out to knock. Suddenly, he heard Zuo Yue say lazily,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to knock anymore. Big Brother Bai has already left half an hour ago.¡± Anhao¡¯s raised hand froze in mid-air and she turned to look at Zuo Yue in surprise.¡±¡±lt¡¯s only half-past six now. Shengling Group starts work at nine every day.¡± ¡°Yeah, according to what you said, he should have left at around eight o¡¯clock. Anyway, this place isn¡¯t far from his company. It won¡¯t take him long to drive to the company, but he left today.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s panda eyes widened as she looked at Anhao, who was still in a daze. She waved her hand and said,¡±¡±Aiya, the jet lag is too uncomfortable. I didn¡¯t sleep the whole night. I went downstairs to make toast at four in the morning. I didn¡¯t expect my brother to suddenly come out of the study more than an hour later. ¡± ¡°I was wondering why my brother had fallen to the point of sleeping in the study. When I asked him, he didn¡¯t answer me. He only said that the company was busy at the end of the year and would leave early and return late these few days. He told me not to walk around at home and even warned me not to quarrel with you.¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips as she said, ¡°¡±Tsk, who wants to argue with you?¡± Unexpectedly, Anhao didn¡¯t have any intention to argue with her. She didn¡¯t even have the intention to argue with her. She just let out a soft ¡± oh ¡± and turned around to walk to the dining table. She picked up the toast on the plate on the table, then picked up jam and smeared it on the toast. Just like that, she ate it bit by bit, as if nothing had happened. However, Zuo Yue felt that it was strange. Last night, this Gu Anhao was still arguing with her, which made Zuo Yue very angry. In the end, she suddenly became so quiet this morning¡­ Zuo Yue felt as if she had changed overnight. She suddenly frowned and reached out to snatch the toast from Anhao¡¯s plate. ¡°This is the bread I baked myself early in the morning. Who told you to eat it? If you want to eat it, make it yourself. This is my portion alone.¡± Anhao still responded silently. After finishing the piece of toast in her hand, she glanced at the plate in front of Zuo Yue. There were still so many slices left, obviously enough for three people. How could Zuo Yue finish them all by herself? However, Anhao didn¡¯t argue with him. She turned around and washed up, preparing to go to school. Zuo Yue saw that she was really a little strange. She ate her bread while watching her back. Not long after, Anhao came out of the bathroom after washing up. She went to the bedroom to change her clothes, picked up her canvas bag, and was about to leave when Zuo Yue suddenly looked at her back and said,¡± ¡°Hey, you only have a piece of bread for breakfast? I¡¯m already full. There are still two pieces left. Anyway, it¡¯s just left there. My mom told me not to waste food. Do you want to eat?¡± Anhao ignored him. Her mind was filled with what Zuo Yue had said before: My brother left half an hour ago. Zuo Hancheng went to the office so early? She had originally planned to tell him everything that had happened last night when she woke up in the morning, but he had left so early. She thought that she had woken up early enough, but in the end.. Anhao lowered her head to tie her shoelaces. Zuo Yue saw that she was wearing white sneakers and jeans. She was wearing a lake green furry sweater and coat, and she was holding a canvas bag in her hand. She was probably really going out. Zuo Yue sized her up as she chewed on the bread. When Anhao silently turned to open the door and walked out, she quickly stood up and shouted at her back, ¡°¡±Hey, are you really not eating? ¡°I¡¯m full, thank you.¡± Anhao turned back to look at her and squeezed out a smile. She closed the door and walked out. Zuo Yue stood in the empty living room and looked at the figure outside the French window. She pursed her lips. She sat back on the chair, tearing the bread in her hand as she muttered,¡±¡±One of them left so early, and the other didn¡¯t even bother to smile at me. They only ate a piece of bread before leaving. These two people clearly want to give me a hard time and silently ask me to leave.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want me to live here that much? Both of them are giving me a hard time.¡± Zuo Yue angrily stuffed the bread into her mouth and bit down hard.¡±¡±Who¡¯s afraid of who? I¡¯m not leaving. I¡¯m not leaving.. I¡¯m going to annoy you to death!¡± Chapter 134 - Chapter 134: Zuo Hancheng l s Cold Violence (2) Chapter 134: Zuo Hancheng l s Cold Violence (2) Translator: 549690339 Han Ru was discharged. This was bad news for Anhao. Because she hadn¡¯t had Han Ru, the proud peacock, wandering around in front of her in the past few days of crazy tutoring in school, she felt very comfortable. But today, not only did Anhao not feel comfortable, she also felt that her mind was starting to lose focus. She had never felt so uneasy in the afternoon when Han Ru and a few other students had secretly mocked her. She, Gu Anhao, had been in A-Grade for the past three years. Many girls had secretly scolded her, and she had never been affected even after being publicly praised and secretly criticized for three years. She had no feelings about eating, drinking, or playing at all. But today, he actually¡­ Looking at the paper she had written in the afternoon, she only got 30% of the questions right. She knew how to answer the other 70%, but she answered them randomly because she was careless and did not look at the questions carefully. Anhao was silently marking the papers while she heard Han Ru pulling a few classmates and whispering outside the classroom. ¡°So it¡¯s true? Was Gu Anhao really being kept by Zuo Hancheng?¡± No wonder we saw the photos from the banquet on Xiao Ya¡¯s phone the other day. We were still wondering how Gu Anhao could have a relationship with a big shot like Zuo Hancheng, but we never figured it out. It turns out that she¡¯s a kept woman¡­¡± ¡°Oh my god, a high school student is already working for a rich man before she graduates. She really didn¡¯t expect Gu Anhao, who didn¡¯t have any femininity at all, to take such a step. Tsk tsk, this world is too scary!¡± My dad said that Zuo Hancheng from Shengling Group is a big shot that even the province doesn¡¯t dare to offend. He controls most of the business and economy in the coastal area. My dad said that a man like him would have plenty of women around him. But if Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao are not relatives, and he can bring her to the banquet as a female companion, then he must be his mistress.¡± I¡¯ll raise¡­¡± Have you guys noticed that Gu Anhao has been dressing up more and more like a woman recently? Her hair has also grown quite a bit. She used to look like a tomboy, but now, her hair has grown to her ears. She looks very girly¡­¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m being kept. Since she was adopted, she would definitely dress up according to her sugar daddy¡¯s requirements. Looking at the clothes and dresses she had been wearing for the past two months, they were all from very low-profile big brands. We were still wondering what was going on. Now that we think about it, this matter makes sense. The girls in our school are actually treating someone else as a mistress. Fu¡­¡± ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡± Suddenly, Chunchun¡¯s voice sounded from outside.¡±¡±Stop spouting nonsense here. Who are you to make wild guesses about other people¡¯s matters? Anhao was Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter, so why did she get taken away by someone else when she wore branded clothes? Raise it? You still have the nerve to talk to others here. Why don¡¯t you look in the mirror and see your faces? All of you stand in the corner and criticize other people¡¯s matters all day long. Your hearts are too dark!¡± Bah, Su Chunchun, you and Gu Anhao have always been on the same side, so of course you¡¯re speaking up for her. The truth is that Gu Anhao was kept by Zuo Hancheng. Raise it! She was just a favor to someone else. Wife! So what? This is the truth!¡± ¡°Say it again!¡± ¡°We already said it. What can you do to us? Everyone knew about this matter. Otherwise, how could someone like Gu Anhao be brought to such a high-end banquet by Zuo Hancheng? Female companion, do you know what female companion means? That was what Zuo Hancheng¡¯s woman meant! Isn¡¯t that love? Wife? Could it be that she, Gu Anhao, was going to marry Zuo Hancheng at the age of nineteen? Haha! What a joke! Stop defending her. We can say whatever we want. What does it have to do with you?¡± Our Anhao was just marrying¡­¡± ¡°Lips!¡± Anhao had already walked out of the classroom door and pulled Chunchun, who was about to tell the truth, by her hand.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry about them.¡± ¡°Yo, Little Qing. Is your wife out?¡± The female voice beside Han Ru sneered,¡±¡±No wonder you dared to hit Han Ru. So you have Zuo Hancheng backing you up? Tsk tsk, I really didn¡¯t expect that someone like you, Gu Anhao, would be able to catch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eye. How many virtues did you accumulate in your previous life? Or did you use some kind of method to climb into the bed of such a big shot? How old are you? You really don¡¯t know shame. You¡¯re a disgrace to our A High!¡± ¡°If you say another word, I¡¯ll f * cking tear your mouth apart!¡±Chunchun angrily turned around and was about to beat him up. Anhao grabbed Chunchun¡¯s arm tightly.¡±¡±Alright, Chunchun, don¡¯t worry about this. They can say whatever they want.¡± Chunchun couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She turned to look at Anhao and whispered,¡± They¡¯ve already made you into this state. Why are you still holding it in? You were originally Zuo Hancheng¡¯s¡­¡± ¡°They can think whatever they want. Zuo Hancheng is in a high position, and his interpersonal relationships and other aspects are more complicated than we imagined. I¡¯m only two months away from turning twenty. Although this is a small matter to him, I don¡¯t want to cause him any trouble because of me. In two months, if you really can¡¯t stand it, you can tell others the truth. But now, it¡¯s better not to say it.¡± Anhao said as she pulled Chunchun back to the classroom. Chunchun turned around and gave them the middle finger.¡±¡±ln the future, don¡¯t speak ill of others secretly outside. Our Anhao is too lazy to argue with you. Look at your ugly faces, and you still have the cheek to speak ill of others behind their backs. Tsk, how disgusting!¡± ¡± What did you say?!¡± The women around Han Ru turned around and wanted to scratch Hua Chunchun¡¯s face. Chunchun turned around and wanted to fight with them. Anhao dragged Chunchun into the classroom and quickly closed the door, isolating the two sides. At the same time, she pushed Chunchun against the door. ¡°Can you not fight with them because of me? I¡¯ll deal with whatever I have on my own. What trouble have you caused?¡± Chunchun leaned against the door and stared blankly at her for a while. Suddenly, she laughed.¡±Gu Anhao really didn¡¯t know that you had the potential to kabedon others. This boyfriend is really awesome. I¡¯m almost falling in love with you! ¡± ¡°Get lost.¡± Anhao slapped her perverted little hand away.¡±¡±l¡¯m not interested in lesbians. If you¡¯re interested, go look for Huang Amao.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who needs to get lost. Huang Amao and I are both beautiful girls who are infatuated with beautiful men. Our sexual orientation is normal.¡± Chunchun snorted.. Seeing Anhao turn around and walk back to the desk, she couldn¡¯t help but follow her and whispered,¡±¡±Hey, with those few women just now, even if three or four of them came up, they wouldn¡¯t be able to beat you, right? Why do you have to endure it? Where is your spirit? Where did your spirit of fooling around with the two of you for the past three years go?¡± Chapter 135 - Chapter 135: Zuo Hancheng’s Cold Violence (3) Chapter 135: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Cold Violence (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I¡¯ve been having a headache from tutoring recently. How can I still have any spirit?¡± Anhao sat down and turned to look outside the classroom. She warned, ¡°¡±Chunchun, please don¡¯t fight with them again. Before I graduate next year, I don¡¯t want to be called to my parents because of such an embarrassing matter.¡± ¡°Aiyoyo, do you not want to call your parents or do you not want the principal to call President Zuo over again?¡±Chunchun poked her shoulder teasingly.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself in front of your husband?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say a word, but she simply covered her face with her textbook.¡±¡±Class is about to start. Go back to your seat and don¡¯t bother me.¡± ¡°Yo, Mrs. Zuo is really hot-tempered now.¡±Chunchun snatched the textbook from Anhao¡¯s hand and patted her head lightly. When Anhao glared at her, she smiled and got up to leave. Until the start of class, Anhao sat quietly in her seat. Han Ru sat not far away from her. From afar, she could see Han Ru talking to the boys and girls beside her. From the shape of her mouth, one could always see her saying the words ¡± Gu Anhao ¡® She was really fed up with this arrogant peacock. She wanted to smear her name all the time. It was endless. When a few students in the class heard what Han Ru said and suddenly turned to look at her with strange eyes, Anhao took advantage of the teacher¡¯s lack of attention to pick up a ball of waste paper on the ground and threw it at Han Ru¡¯s head. ¡°Aiya!¡± Han Ru screamed when she was hit. She did not have eyes on the back of her head, but she still stood up when the teacher turned around to look at her. ¡°Teacher, Gu Anhao hit me with a paper ball!¡± The teacher looked at Han Ru unhappily, then at Gu Anhao, who was calm and composed.¡±¡±What happened? You¡¯re all adults who are about to go to college. Why are you still doing such childish things? Do you still think you¡¯re a primary school student?¡± ¡°Teacher, I didn¡¯t hit her.¡± Anhao said calmly. ¡°She was the one who hit me!¡± Han Ru looked at Anhao¡¯s classmates.¡±¡±You can all be witnesses. Did you see her hit me just now?¡± The result was obvious. Almost half of the students in the class nodded to testify for Han Ru. Even those who did not see her nodded. Anyway, whatever Han Ru said was true. Gu Anhao deserved to be taught a lesson. The teacher was about to walk towards Gu Anhao, but Anhao still said calmly, ¡®¡±¡®Teacher, I really didn¡¯t hit her. Can you ask her what I hit her with?¡± The teacher turned to look at Han Ru. Han Ru pointed at the ball of paper on the ground.¡± The students continued to nod. The teacher looked at Anhao again and smiled.¡±Teacher, Han Ru said that the paper ball is mine, so it¡¯s mine? If you don¡¯t believe me, open it and take a look. If you¡¯re sure it¡¯s mine, I¡¯ll admit that I hit her. Why should I be wronged?¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s tone, Han Ru was stunned for a moment. She looked down at the paper ball on the ground and suddenly remembered something. Her face froze. However, the teacher had already turned around and walked over. She bent down to pick up the ball of paper on the ground. When Anhao¡¯s face was full of smiles and Han Ru¡¯s face was stiff, she opened the ball of paper. After seeing the contents of the paper, the teacher looked at Han Ru coldly and slammed the paper on her desk. Han Ru lowered her head and looked at the contents of the paper. She turned around and glared at Anhao with an ugly expression. ¡°Teacher, do you want me to help Han Ru read the contents of the paper ball?¡± Anhao stood up with a smile. Without waiting for the teacher to speak, she stood up and walked over. She snatched the piece of paper and spread it open. ¡® Dear Han Ru, I¡¯m XXX from Class X of Grade X. I¡¯ve been in love with you for a long time. I know that you¡¯ve been in the hospital for the past few days, and I¡¯m anxious. Now that you¡¯ve been discharged from the hospital and returned to school, I wonder how your body is recovering. I want to ask you to go to XXX this weekend¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± ¡°Stop reading!¡± Han Ru shouted angrily.¡± Anhao paused and turned to look at her.¡¯¡±¡®Didn¡¯t you say that this paper ball is mine? I¡¯m just proving that this paper ball is not mine. I have to let the whole class know the contents of this paper ball so that everyone can uphold justice for me!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Han Ru wanted to smash her with a stool. Anhao raised her eyebrows and threw the love letter back on her desk. She said lightly, ¡°¡±ln the future, when you receive other people¡¯s love letters, don¡¯t be so cold-blooded and heartless and throw them into the classroom. It¡¯s not guaranteed that someone will pick them up and pass them to the person who sent them. Your reputation as the goddess of A High School will be ruined by your cold-blooded and heartless attitude.¡± After saying that, Anhao ignored the teacher¡¯s ashen face and Han Rut s twisted face. She turned around and returned to her seat. Behind her, Chunchun and Huang Amao were already grinning from ear to ear as they kept raising their hands to give Anhao a thumbs up. ¡°Teacher, you heard it too. She picked up the paper ball I threw and threw it at me¡­¡± Han Ru wasn¡¯t as confident as before, but she still wanted to drag Anhao down with her. Anhao looked back at her disapprovingly, then at the teacher. ¡°Sit down!¡± the teacher shouted with an ugly expression. All of them were about to enter university, yet they still treated themselves like children. They only knew how to cause trouble all day long! Sit down, start class, start class! The class was still filled with laughter. The teacher continued to shout angrily, ¡°Silence!¡± Seeing the teacher so angry, Han Ru did not dare to say anything more. She could only sit down with a pale face. It was unknown whether it was because she was angry or because she had just been discharged from the hospital and her body was still in the recovery period. Anhao turned around and gave Chunchun and Huang Amao a meaningful look. She whispered,¡±¡±ln the future, we won¡¯t use force to subdue people. In the future, we¡¯ll change our tactics and use our wits!¡± Chunchun and Huang Ah Mao were lying on the table behind her and laughing non-stop. The class was finally forced to continue with the teacher¡¯s ugly expression. After the evening self-study session, Anhao was about to go to Shengling Group when she heard Han Rut s voice. ¡°Gu Anhao, stop right there!¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her. She saw Han Ru walking towards her quickly as if she wanted to fight. Anhao looked at her expressionlessly. When she was about five meters away from her, she suddenly raised her hand.¡±You just had surgery not long ago. You were discharged early because of your exams, right? Are you sure you want to come?¡± Seeing Gu Anhao raise her hand to suppress Han Ru, she recalled the strength Gu Anhao used to attack her last time. She immediately stopped in her tracks, but said with a cold face, ¡°I just heard that you were taking the final exam with me. Are you trying to copy my paper and get second place in the whole year? Let me tell you, even if I don¡¯t answer a single question and you don¡¯t even have a place to copy, I will definitely not give you a chance!¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Anhao glared at her coldly. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, don¡¯t be so smug. I¡¯ll take revenge for you for causing me to be hospitalized for so many days!¡± ¡°Whatever.¡± Anhao left without looking back, ignoring the coldness and determination in Han Ru¡¯s eyes.. Chapter 136 - Chapter 136: Zuo Hancheng’s Cold Violence (4) Chapter 136: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Cold Violence (4) Translator: 549690339 Shengling Group building. After Anhao tutored Qin Feng for more than two hours, Qin Feng left on time at 8:30 pm. Anhao read her book alone for a while, but she couldn¡¯t concentrate anymore. She stood up and walked to the door inside. She opened the door and looked into the CEO¡¯s office. Zuo Hancheng was still not in his office. She had not seen him for a whole day since last night. Although he was usually very busy and it was difficult for others to see him, Anhao could often see him because of her identity as Mrs. Zuo. This was the first time that she had not seen Zuo Hancheng for more than twenty-four hours even though they were living together and she had come to Shengling Group for tutoring. It wasn¡¯t until 9 pm that Lin Qing walked into the office with the meeting notes. At the same time, he saw Anhao who was quietly opening the door of the resting room and looking over. Lin Qing saw her sneakily peeking her head out and smiled,¡±¡±Miss Gu, it¡¯s already so late.¡± ¡°I¡¯m waiting for President Zuo. I¡¯ve been going back with him every night after tutoring here.¡± Anhao saw that Lin Qing had taken the initiative to talk to her, so she opened the door and walked over. Lin Qing smiled and placed the meeting records on the CEO¡¯s desk. He looked down at the time and said,¡± ¡± Today might be an exception. President Zuo just had an international video conference with the United States. After leaving the conference room, he didn¡¯t return to the office but asked the driver to drive him directly to the Opal Gallery. There was a very important meeting that was arranged a few days ago. Didn¡¯t President Zuo tell you before?¡± Anhao was slightly surprised.¡± He¡¯s not going back to the company tonight?¡¯¡±¡® ¡® He¡¯s only going to the opal hall at this time. Even if he comes back, it¡¯ll probably be after midnight. Besides, there¡¯s nothing urgent in the company that requires the CEO to rush back in the middle of the night, so he definitely won¡¯t come to the company tonight.¡± Lin Qing still smiled politely at Anhao,¡±¡±How about this, Miss Gu? I¡¯ll send a company car to send you back to Liujing Garden.¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s very convenient to take a taxi around the square opposite the company. I¡¯ll take a taxi back myself.¡±Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°It¡¯s already past nine o¡¯clock at night. I¡¯m afraid that it¡¯s not safe for you to go out and take a taxi. I¡¯ll get the company¡¯s driver to send you.¡± As Lin Qing spoke, he picked up his phone and called the logistics department. At the same time, he saw Anhao standing in the office with a thoughtful expression. Then, he thought about how President Zuo could have returned to the president¡¯s office but didn¡¯t. He felt that it was a little strange, but he didn¡¯t ask anything. When Anhao didn¡¯t continue to reject him, he helped Anhao contact the company¡¯s driver and asked her to come downstairs and take the car in ten minutes. She had to admit that the people around Zuo Hancheng were all capable, but Anhao did not expect Zuo Hancheng to not return to the office tonight. These days, she was used to taking the bus to school alone in the morning and did not ask the chauffeur he sent to pick her up. She was also used to going back to the Liu Jing Garden with Zuo Hancheng after tutoring at night. All of a sudden, he didn¡¯t return to the office. He didn¡¯t even inform her. He just left after the meeting. Anhao couldn¡¯t describe how she felt. ¡°Miss Gu, the driver is already waiting for you downstairs. It¡¯s a gray business car with the license plate number AXXXXX. Don¡¯t make a mistake.¡±Lin Qing said. Anhao came back to her senses and thanked Lin Qing before turning around to pack her things in the lounge. A few minutes later, Anhao reached the first floor of the company. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into Mobai, who was walking back from outside. Mobai saw Anhao and nodded at her. As he walked past her, he suddenly thought of something and turned around.¡±¡±Miss Gu.¡± Anhao stopped and turned to look at him. Mobai smiled at her.¡± I almost forgot. Before you came for tutoring today, President Zuo had already instructed me to call Qin Feng to inform him of the changes in his work.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Teacher Qin¡¯s job change? Is it related to me?¡± Anhao was stunned. ¡°Of course it¡¯s related.¡± Mobai smiled and said,¡± President Zuo said that Miss Gu, you¡¯re going to have your exams soon. The tuition for the next few days will be arranged in school. He asked Qin Feng to go to school every night during your evening self-study time to tutor you. You don¡¯t have to come to the company anymore. ¡®¡±¡® Anhao was a little surprised, but she didn¡¯t show it clearly. She just stared at Mobai¡¯s business-like smiling expression and nodded.¡±Alright, I understand.¡± Seeing that Anhao didn¡¯t even ask why, Mobai was slightly puzzled. Actually, Mobai wasn¡¯t sure what was going on either, but President Zuo¡¯s considerations weren¡¯t wrong. The bus ride from A High School to Shengling Group was enough for Anhao to tutor for another forty minutes. It was indeed a pity to waste these forty minutes on the road. Moreover, she was about to take the exam, so she had to make full use of her time in the last few days. Anhao didn¡¯t say much. Just as Mobai smiled politely at her and was about to turn on the phone, she suddenly turned around and called out to him,¡±¡±Oh right, Assistant Mo.¡± Mobai stopped in his tracks.¡± ¡°Did you go to the Ou Bo Club with President Zuo? Why did you come back alone?¡± ¡°Two of the people who will be meeting tonight are from the provincial government and need some approval documents. They rushed to the guild hall after leaving the meeting room just now. I forgot to take them, so I rushed back to get them so as not to delay the official business that we have to discuss tonight. ¡± ¡°President Zuo doesn¡¯t know that I¡¯m coming to the company for tutoring tonight?¡±ln the end, Anhao couldn¡¯t help but ask about it. Mobai smiled apologetically.¡±¡±l¡¯m really sorry, Miss Gu. President Zuo asked me to inform Qin Feng in the afternoon. However, there are too many things to do at the end of the year and I forgot to call Qin Feng in advance. So, President Zuo probably doesn¡¯t know that you and Qin Feng are coming to the company for tutoring tonight.¡± Although Anhao still felt a little uncomfortable from the pressure in her heart, she felt a little better after confirming that Zuo Hancheng did not leave her alone in the office on purpose and thought that she had not come to the office. She nodded to Mobai and did not ask any more questions. She turned around and walked out of Shengling Group¡¯s building. When she got into the car, she looked back at the tall building that towered into the clouds through the car window. She didn¡¯t need to come here for tutoring anymore, right? I can¡¯t go to his office or the rest room for tutoring anymore¡­ This was clearly the thing that she had resisted the most before, but now, her heart was filled with panic and inexplicably stifled. Anhao sat in the car and picked up her phone to look through it. When she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name, she hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should call him.. Chapter 137 - Chapter 137: Zuo Hancheng’s Cold Violence (5) Chapter 137: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Cold Violence (5) Translator: 549690339 After thinking for a long time, Anhao put down her phone and didn¡¯t make the call. Right now, Zuo Hancheng should be busy at the opal hall, so he had no time to care about a young lady like her. The chauffeur that Secretary Lin sent was an experienced driver in the company, so he knew how to read people¡¯s expressions. Seeing that Anhao was sitting in the back and staring at her phone screen without making a call or saying anything, the chauffeur didn¡¯t say much and just drove quietly. After sending Anhao safely back to Liu Jing Garden, Anhao got out of the car and thanked the chauffeur before turning around and walking back. ¡°What are you doing? You guys have been quiet all day!¡± The moment Anhao entered, Zuo Yue suddenly ran out from inside. Anhao had almost forgotten that Zuo Yue was still at home. She had thought that the entire house would be silent when she returned. Zuo Yue stepped forward and looked at her angrily.¡±¡±What do you and my brother mean by this? My brother hasn¡¯t come back all day, and you haven¡¯t come back either. What time is it now? It¡¯s almost ten o¡¯clock! Why? What are you doing? Are you trying to chase me away?¡± ¡°No, I went to the company for tutoring tonight. Your brother went to the Opo Club for something tonight. He didn¡¯t mean to ignore you on purpose. ¡°Anhao walked in and said. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and snorted coldly. She turned around and saw Anhao enter the room. She did not say anything and walked straight towards the bedroom. Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows and suddenly chased after him.¡±¡±Wait a minute.¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Anhao turned to look at her. ¡°Are you really married to my brother?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly looked at her mysteriously.¡±¡±You¡¯re not lying to me? Could it be that my brother asked you to pretend to be his wife and deliberately chase me away? He doesn¡¯t want me to disturb his life here?¡± ¡°How can marriage be fake?¡± Anhao looked at her in confusion.¡± Besides, why would he lie to you?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°You don¡¯t know that the people in the Zuo family are not my parents, but my grandfather. The old man is already over 80 years old. He¡¯s afraid that he won¡¯t be able to have a great-grandson in his lifetime. Since many years ago, the old man has been looking forward to my brother¡¯s early marriage, and my mother has been looking forward to it too. My brother is only in his twenties. It¡¯s good to be a golden bachelor. Anyway, whether he gets married or not, those women will still come one after another. It won¡¯t affect him much. But the old master and my mother are looking forward to his marriage!¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows slightly.¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s related. What if my brother thinks that I was sent by my family to keep an eye on him? What if he wanted the old man to shut up and stop arguing about having a great-grandson? What if he found a random woman and pretended to be married?¡± Anhao was speechless. Don¡¯t worry, such a melodramatic situation won¡¯t happen.¡± ¡® But it¡¯s not like this has never happened before. We have a cousin in America. He¡¯s already in his thirties, but he hasn¡¯t gotten married yet. His family kept urging him, so he simply found a random woman and pretended to be married. In the end, when the truth was revealed, their family became very angry. That whole year, it was almost a complete mess. My grandfather found out about this, so he was even more afraid that my brother would fake his marriage, so ne Kept urging mm¡­ Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She seemed to have a vague understanding of why Zuo Hancheng had taken her to the Civil Affairs Bureau in such a ¡± hasty ¡± manner. Could it be that he had a headache from being urged by Old Master Zuo to get married in the United States? Could it be that he happened to run into her and conveniently picked her up, cleaned her up, and became his wife? The old man would definitely find out about the fake marriage, so he might as well get married for real. So, was this the truth behind Big Boss Zuo¡¯s sudden marriage? Then what did Gu Anhao become? Who was the one saving who? ¡°Hello,¡± Seeing that Anhao was in a daze, Zuo Yue raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes.¡±¡±Now that my brother, that cunning man, is not around, tell me, how are you going to prove that you and my brother are really married?¡± Anhao looked at her speechlessly. How could he prove it? How would she know how to prove it? ¡°Why are you staring at me? My brother isn¡¯t here right now, and no one is backing you up. If you glare at me again, do you believe that I¡¯ll scratch you?¡±Zuo Yue stretched out her long nails, wanting to scratch her twice. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± No wonder your brother called you a kid. You¡¯re really childish!¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Aiya, you said I was childish! It¡¯s as if you¡¯re much more mature than Yue snorted coldly. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand.¡±Come, give me some proof. Let me see if you¡¯re really married to my brother.¡± Seeing that Anhao was unmoved and did not seem to want to answer her at all, Zuo Yue glared at her.¡±¡±Hey, Gu Anhao, let me tell you, I¡¯m the first relative you¡¯ve interacted with since you married into the Zuo family. If you ignore me like this, do you believe that I¡¯ll go back and report you?¡± Anhao had never thought that she would meet Zuo Hancheng¡¯s family! The appearance of this sister-in-law was already enough to give her a headache, and now she even dared to threaten her. However, it was better to avoid trouble. Since Zuo Hancheng¡¯s marriage to her was also a shield, and since he had helped her before, she could not be too stingy. Hence, Anhao turned around and returned to the bedroom. She took out her marriage certificate and handed it to Zuo Yue.¡±Then, you can see for yourself. It¡¯s getting late. I¡¯ll go wash up and sleep.¡± As she spoke, she turned around and went to change her clothes and take a shower. She no longer paid any attention to the crazy Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue held the little red booklet in her hands and opened it in surprise. She looked at it for a long time and saw that Anhao had already entered the bathroom. She touched the steel seal on it with her hand. The marriage certificate was real¡­ Zuo Yue opened her mouth in surprise and turned to look in the direction of the bathroom. She was even more suspicious. Since they were really married, why were the two of them living separately? Moreover, because she had stayed here last night, the two of them should have stayed together. However, she realized that this was not the case in the morning. It was even stranger tonight. Not only did her brother not come back, but Gu Anhao also came back so late. Moreover, she came back alone. Tsk tsk, if they really got married just like that, then so be it. Anyway, the old man at home was open-minded and never asked his brother to marry someone who was of equal social status. As long as she was pleasing to the eye and a good granddaughter-in-law, it was fine. But¡­ Grandpa¡¯s main goal was to have a great-grandson before he was born! They couldn¡¯t even live together. What was the use of only having a little red booklet! Anhao walked out of the bathroom and saw that Zuo Yue had already placed the marriage certificate on the coffee table and was sitting on the sofa as if waiting for her. She walked over and picked up the marriage certificate. She turned around and was about to return to the bedroom when she suddenly heard Zuo Yue say,¡±¡±Look at the date on it. You and my brother have been married for more than three months.¡± Baby? Anhao stumbled and almost fell to the ground.. Chapter 138 - Chapter 138: Zuo Hancheng’s Cold Violence (6) Chapter 138: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Cold Violence (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Why are you reacting like that?¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s speechless expression, Zuo Yue turned around and laid on the back of the sofa, staring straight at her.¡±¡±We¡¯ve been married for three months. You should be pregnant by now! ¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. How was she going to explain this situation to her sister-in-law who was only a year younger than her? It was indeed possible for others to be pregnant after three months of marriage. But she¡­ ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t explain anything and ran straight into the bedroom. 2 AM. Anhao was still unable to sleep. She turned over in bed and suddenly heard the sound of a car parked nearby. Then, the door opened. She immediately pricked up her ears to listen. Then, Zuo Yue¡¯s voice came from the living room. She had not slept yet because of jet lag. ¡°Brother, why is it harder for you here than in America? I remember that during the initial period of Shengling Group, although you often had a day and night reversal, it wasn¡¯t as hard as it is now¡­¡± ¡°The socializing habits of mainlanders are different from those in the United States.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng only responded with this sentence. However, Zuo Yue did not stop asking questions until she suddenly asked,¡± the way, Brother, when are you and Gu An going to have a baby?¡± There was a moment of silence outside. Then, there was the sound of someone taking off his coat and changing his clothes. ¡°Haven¡¯t you and Gu Anhao been married for three months?¡± Zuo Yue continued to ask. Why didn¡¯t she tell her family when she first got married? But since you¡¯re already married, you should let Grandpa have a great-grandson as soon as possible. That way, you can have a niece or nephew to make me happy!¡± ¡°My child is just to make the old master worry and make you happy?¡±Zuo Hancheng glared at her coldly.¡± Why are you still up so late? Why are you here watching TV at two in the morning?¡±¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t I still jet-lagged? It¡¯s only afternoon in the United States. How can I ¡°But you shouldn¡¯t have come down to watch TV. If you don¡¯t sleep, don¡¯t tell me that others don¡¯t sleep either?¡±¡±Turn it off and go back to your bedroom to sleep,¡± Zuo Hancheng chided coldly. No matter how bad the jet lag was, it was the price you had to pay for secretly running away from home.¡± ¡°Brother¡­¡¯ ¡°Zuo Yue, I don¡¯t want to repeat myself. Leave my sight immediately.¡± ¡°It¡¯s that sentence again. Do you want to chase me away so badly?¡±Zuo Yue snorted and got up.¡± Besides, Gu Anhao hasn¡¯t been sleeping. I even heard her turning around in the bedroom just now. How can she turn around so frequently when she¡¯s asleep?¡¯¡±¡® Then, the sound of Zuo Yue running up the stairs could be heard from outside. Then, the room outside fell silent. Anhao hugged the blanket and listened to the commotion outside. Zuo Hancheng knew that she was still awake, so he probably wouldn¡¯t sleep in the study just to not disturb her. After all, he was in the study last night. He should be back in the bedroom today. However, even after waiting for a long time, the bedroom door still did not open, and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps did not approach them. In turn, she heard familiar footsteps walking steadily towards the study on the other side. It was not until the sound of the study room door opening and closing could be heard that Anhao raised her hand to grab the blanket. Her heart felt stifled and uncomfortable. What was this? Was Zuo Hancheng deliberately ignoring her? Why did he give her the cold shoulder? What did she do to suddenly treat her like this? Anhao sat up unwillingly and wanted to reason with him. However, she sat up and got off the bed. Just as she was about to rush out of the bedroom, she felt that she should not be so impulsive. What if he had something else to do? After standing at the bedroom door for a long time, Anhao didn¡¯t open the door in the end. She turned around and returned to the bed, hugging the blanket and lying alone on the big bed. She did not feel this way when she was sleeping alone in the bedroom on the second floor, but now that she was sleeping alone in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom, she felt very uncomfortable! He felt uncomfortable all over his body! She had a sleepless night. She had a bunch of messy dreams because of her heavy emotions. She had many, many dreams about her mother, the Yi family, Zuo Hancheng, and school. When she finally opened her eyes, it was six in the morning. Anhao quickly sat up. When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had not left yet. He was sitting at the dining table and reading a business newspaper. It was obvious that he would be leaving soon. Anhao felt uncomfortable being left out, but she still held onto her pride and didn¡¯t take the initiative to greet him. She deliberately took a turn in the living room and walked closer to him, trying to get him to notice her. In the end, when she was almost at the dining table, Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her and continued reading the newspaper as if nothing had happened. Anhao endured it and suddenly coughed. Seeing that he didn¡¯t react, she went into the bathroom to wash up. When she came out of the shower, she saw Zuo Yue carrying two plates of bread like yesterday. She said smugly, ¡°¡±How is it? You didn¡¯t expect me to know how to bake bread by now, did you? In the past, I was too lazy to even make jam myself. Have I improved a lot now?¡± ¡® Everyone knows how to put bread slices into the bread machine every morning,¡± Zuo Hancheng said lightly.¡± You have the nerve to claim credit in front of me?¡±¡± Zuo Yue pouted and placed the plate heavily on the table.¡±¡±l¡¯m not going to serve you anymore! I took the initiative to make breakfast early in the morning just to get you to praise me, and you actually dare to reject me!¡± Zuo Hancheng took two bites and said,¡± Zuo Yue, you grew up in the United States. In the eyes of outsiders, you are a child who grew up under the influence of Western education. However, you don¡¯t even know the most basic self-reliance. You are already eighteen years old. Do you still want to continue living a life where you can provide for others?¡±¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned pale when she heard that. She sat down angrily and ate without saying a word. Anhao, on the other hand, heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words when she was walking towards the direction of the dining table. No matter how she listened, she felt that he was not reprimanding Zuo Yue. Instead, it seemed like he was talking to her. Eighteen years old wasn¡¯t enough to be independent, but she was already independent at nineteen? At most, he would cook instant noodles. Was she really so bad in all aspects that she didn¡¯t even have the right to stand with him? Was it because he was still interested in her, but he gradually woke up and realized that she was not outstanding enough, that she had all kinds of shortcomings, that she was always causing trouble for him, and that she was not worth his attention at all? At the age when she should have learned to be independent, she did not learn what she should have learned in the Gu family. She only learned how to resist harm and how to protect herself, but she neglected the normal way of growing up. No one had thought about how to educate her, how to correct her stubbornness and everything during puberty, and no one cared about how rebellious and rebellious she had become. Was this Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response to her words? She was really not worthy of talking to him about love or not. That day at the banquet, perhaps it was just a joke made by someone to tease the little girl. It could not be taken seriously.. Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: Something Happened to Anhao (1) Chapter 139: Something Happened to Anhao (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao endured the huge humiliation in her heart. She didn¡¯t want to be angry so early in the morning, but her heart was already cold. She walked to the dining table and tried her best to ignore what Zuo Hancheng had just said. Then, she sat down at the dining table. Actually, she had no appetite. Although the bread was still black and charred like yesterday and did not look good, Anhao did not want to say anything too willfully. After all, this was the fruit of Zuo Yue¡¯s labor. He placed a piece of bread on the plate in front of him, but he didn¡¯t touch it with jam or eat it. He only used a knife to slowly cut it into strips and didn¡¯t eat it. Zuo Yue noticed that she was dawdling as if she had something on her mind. When she looked at her, she was stunned for a moment before she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. However, Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice and was already getting up to leave. ¡°Brother, the atmosphere between the two of you doesn¡¯t seem right.¡±Zuo Yue asked straightforwardly. Anhao¡¯s movements froze as she sliced the bread. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at the two of them.¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing wrong. Anhao needs to tutor recently. Zuo Yue, find something to do by yourself and don¡¯t disturb her.¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± Why should I bother her? My exams are coming soon when I return to America next week. I need to tutor too.¡± Two children who both needed tuition¡­ Zuo Hancheng sighed, turned around, picked up his suit jacket, and walked out. He opened the door without looking back. Zuo Yue also stood up and was about to put away the plate in front of her when she suddenly heard the knife in Anhao¡¯s hand making a loud and clear sound on the plate. Zuo Yue was stunned. When she saw the knife and fork being placed heavily on the plate, Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks. Anhao raised her head and looked in his direction.¡±¡±l don¡¯t have to go to your company for tuition anymore, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng was silent for a moment before he said,¡±¡±lsn¡¯t it good to let Qin Feng go directly to A Gao for your tutoring? It saves time and makes you less tired?¡± ¡°Okay, when did I say that it¡¯s not good?¡±Anhao retracted her gaze and said coldly,¡±¡±Wouldn¡¯t it save me more time if I go back to school?¡± ¡°If you have the intention to continue living in the school, I won¡¯t force you.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm. As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out. Anhao suddenly stood up and walked out quickly. She chased after Zuo Hancheng when he was already walking towards the black Bentley parked in front of the courtyard. When he opened the car door and got into the car, Anhao rushed forward and grabbed his car door before he closed it. Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment and his gaze fell on her hand that was gripping the car door tightly.¡¯¡±¡®Anhao?¡± ¡°If you think that I suddenly asked that question at that time, it was very delicate and hypocritical, you can blame me or scold me!¡±Anhao glared at him. Zuo Hancheng frowned. ¡°If you think that I don¡¯t know anything and that I¡¯m causing trouble all day long to the point that you regret marrying me, my marriage certificate is right there. You can take me to a divorce anytime. I¡¯ll set you free unconditionally and definitely won¡¯t try to pester you like other women. I won¡¯t even want the few properties you transferred to me! I can leave clean!¡± ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. Focus on your exams. We¡¯ll talk about our matters in a few days.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Obviously, he was angered by her words, but he held back his temper and did not reprimand her. According to Anhao¡¯s personality, she would definitely not let it go so easily. However, she only held the car door tightly and stared at him for a long time. In the end, she only said one word,¡±Alright.¡± He could focus on the exam and talk about their matters in a few days. What are you going to do in a few days? Divorce? Alright. Anhao endured the unknown sourness in her heart and the pain as if she had been stabbed by a needle. She immediately let go of the car door, turned around, and walked back quickly. She slammed the door with a bang and picked up her bag under Zuo Yue¡¯s stunned expression, but she did not leave immediately. She stood in front of the door for a while, listening to the movements outside. The car outside did not leave for a long time. After about ten minutes, he started the engine and drove away. After confirming that Zuo Hancheng had left, Anhao opened the door and prepared to go to school. ¡°Hey, did you quarrel with my brother?¡±Zuo Yue walked to the door and looked at Anhao with a gossipy expression. Anhao stopped in her tracks and walked straight to the bus stop without answering. ¡°Anhao, why have you been staying at school these past few days?¡± Huang Amao saw Anhao studying in the dorm room, so he walked over and pulled a stool over to sit beside her.¡±¡±The exam is tomorrow. You haven¡¯t been to Shengling Group these past few days, nor have you returned to your love nest with Big Boss Zuo. You¡¯ve been in school all this time.¡± ¡°What else? Why do you think I work so hard every day?¡± Anhao answered ambiguously. Her hands kept writing on the book. Huang Amao glanced at the questions she had written and clicked his tongue.¡±The principal is looking for you, but your phone couldn¡¯t be connected just now. He happened to see me and asked me to bring you to the principal¡¯s office.¡¯ Anhao¡¯s pen paused. Why was the principal looking for her again? ¡°I¡¯m not causing any trouble. Why is he looking for me?¡± ¡°Who knows, but your Big Boss Zuo is still very useful. If he wants to look for you, he can just get someone to call the announcement. ¡°But he called me over just now and specially asked me to bring you a message. His degree of caution is very obvious. The principal doesn¡¯t dare to offend you.¡± Anhao ignored him.¡± ¡°There¡¯s an exam tomorrow. What if the principal has something urgent to do? Are you really not going?¡± Anhao¡¯s pen paused for a moment. After thinking for a while, she finished the last few questions, put away her book, and walked out. Huang Amao was supposed to accompany her. After all, An seemed to be a little muddle-headed from the tuition recently, and she actually didn¡¯t hit those students who bullied her. Although she could still oppress those people with her IQ, she still had to stay by Anhao¡¯s side to help her boost her courage. If the principal had something bad to look for her, Huang Amao would be able to react accordingly and help her. When they arrived at the principal¡¯s office, the principal saw that Anhao had come with Huang Amao. He frowned and said,¡±¡±Huang Mao, what are you doing here?¡± ¡°I came with Anhao.¡± Huang Amao said confidently. The principal knew that Anhao and the other two were verv good friends. He had heard about the names of the female bullies in Grade A. Seeing that Huang Amao had no intention of leaving, he said unhappily, ¡°¡±You go out first. I have some serious business to discuss with Gu Anhao..¡± Chapter 140 - Chapter 140: Something Happened to Anhao (2) Chapter 140: Something Happened to Anhao (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Tsk.¡± Huang Amao snorted coldly and turned to leave.¡±l¡¯ll wait for Anhao outside.¡± He didn¡¯t expect Gu Anhao to have such a good friend despite her poor grades and bad character. The principal didn¡¯t say much. After closing the office door, he looked at her and said,¡±¡±Anhao, the final exam is tomorrow. Are you sure you want to take it with Han Ru?¡± ¡°Since I¡¯ve said it in front of you, Principal, of course I have to take the exam alone with her. ¡°Anhao looked at the principal.¡± ¡°No, no, no, of course that¡¯s not what I meant.¡±The principal sighed.¡± Because the final exams are tomorrow and you¡¯ve made this decision. I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll hurt you in the rankings, so I specially contacted Assistant MO, who works beside President Zuo.¡± ¡°Why did you contact Mobai again? He¡¯s not my mother. Why can¡¯t he tell me anything? They¡¯re not my parents. They just helped me solve some problems. Principal, do you have to keep telling them about me? Do you know how annoying this is?¡± Anhao was a little angry. She had already felt that she was nothing in front of Zuo Hancheng. She had already embarrassed herself enough, but the principal was still trying to help her. She really could not stand it! ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t misunderstand. After all, no other parents have come to visit you in the past three years. The only person who is willing to step up for you is President Zuo. Now that the final exam has been promised to President Zuo, I don¡¯t want you to lose face because of your impulsiveness at such a young age. After all, your face is President Zuo¡¯s face now.¡± In front of her, the principal simply said,¡± So, Anhao, I still hope that you can go to a classroom alone to take the exam. I can help you arrange for other students to take the exam in place of you. This way, your results will also be¡­¡± ¡°Are you insulting me?¡± Anhao looked at him coldly.¡± Principal, can¡¯t you see how hard I¡¯ve been tutoring every day for the past month?¡± Can¡¯t you see that my tutor has been coming to school to tutor me for the past few days? Can¡¯t you see how much my mock test results have improved in the past two weeks? You just used the word ¡®substitute¡¯ to erase all my hard work for more than a month?¡± ¡°I¡¯m doing this for your own good.¡± The principal frowned.¡± Student Han Ru came to me specifically for this matter. She even said that if she insisted on taking the exam in the same classroom as you, it would be fine. However, she doesn¡¯t want to be the top student in the grade this year. She doesn¡¯t believe that you have any other way to copy. Even if she sits last with you, she will never give you a chance to climb up. I didn¡¯t expect that child to say such words, but Anhao, like I said just now, your face is President Zuo¡¯s face. I¡¯m¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need you to arrange anything for me. It¡¯s Han Ru¡¯s business how she wants to take the exam, and it¡¯s my business if I want to take the exam myself.¡±Anhao was firm.¡± Tomorrow¡¯s exam will be a normal one. Principal, don¡¯t arrange for me to take the exam for you. I don¡¯t need it.¡±¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t need it?¡± ¡°No need!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and walked out. Huang Amao could hear everything clearly from outside. When he saw Anhao come out, he couldn¡¯t help but feel worried.¡±You actually issued such a challenge? Your opponent tomorrow is Han Ru. Although that proud peacock is a little stupid in terms of character, her academic performance¡­¡± ¡°How can you be so sure that Han Rut s grades are real?¡±Anhao suddenly turned to look at Huang Amao. ¡°Since the principal chose to help me find a substitute, why couldn¡¯t he help her find one in the past? In A place like A High School, interpersonal relationships were much darker than in other schools. Every family was a big shot in the military, political, and business world. Which one would the principal dare to offend? Han Ru was a relative of a general in a certain military region. ¡± Huang Amao was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you suspect that Han Ru¡­¡± ¡°A woman who pretends to be a white lotus every day. She never takes the initiative to answer questions in class. I didn¡¯t take the exam with her either. I insisted on taking the exam with her this time, but did you hear what the principal said just now?¡± ¡® He said Han Ru told him that she would never let me copy her paper even if she had to sit with me at the bottom of the cohort.¡± Anhao sneered. It sounded like she would rather not answer the questions than let me copy them, but in fact, she really took the test with me. Under my supervision, she couldn¡¯t answer at all!¡± Huang Amao¡¯s eyes widened.¡± ¡°Double protection. The principal doesn¡¯t want to offend the Han family or Zuo Hancheng, so he wants to separate us. But I won¡¯t go along with Han Ru¡¯s wishes. I want to see how she got first place in the grade.¡± At the corner of the corridor, a figure passed by. After hearing Anhao¡¯s words, he immediately stopped in his tracks. It was only when Anhao and Huang Amao went downstairs from the other side that the figure walked out. Looking at Anhao¡¯s back, it was as if there were needles hidden in his eyes, wishing he could stab Gu Anhao to death. The principal happened to walk out of the office at this time. Seeing that Gu Anhao and Huang Amao had already left, he sighed. Then, he suddenly saw Han Ru in the corridor and paused.¡±Han Ru?¡± ¡°Principal, you don¡¯t have to worry about me anymore. ¡°Han Ru walked over and said calmly, have my own ways to deal with her.¡± When he heard the word ¡°deal with¡± from her mouth, the principal immediately frowned.¡±Student Han Ru, this matter is not related to Little Brother. Student Anhao has President Zuo¡¯s people looking after her, so I can¡¯t side with you anymore. It¡¯s good if you have a way, but you must compromise. Don¡¯t cause trouble and don¡¯t let President Zuo be dissatisfied.¡¯ Han Ru¡¯s eyes flickered, but she didn¡¯t say anything. She simply found an excuse to make a phone call and left. Seeing Han Ru leave, the principal suddenly felt his eyelids twitch. He hoped that nothing would happen. Anhao returned to her dormitory and thought about what the principal had said before. The principal had called Mobai because of her, and she was really disgusted by the principal¡¯s actions. She decided to send MO Bai a text message, saying that she was sorry that the principal had disturbed him again because of her. Two minutes later, Mobai suddenly called her and said, ¡°¡±Miss Gu, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. I asked the principal to contact me as soon as possible if there¡¯s anything about you.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t want to trouble you too much.¡±¡® Mobai chuckled.¡± This isn¡¯t trouble. This is what I should do.¡± President Zuo has been in City S for the past two days to discuss some matters. He will only be able to return to City A tomorrow night at the earliest. He might not be able to accompany you during the exam tomorrow. You must take the exam well. I heard from Qin Feng that your results from the tuition are not bad.¡± ¡°When did he leave?¡±¡± ¡°Yesterday, but I can go back tomorrow night.¡± How could she not know that Zuo Hancheng was on a business trip? Chapter 141 - Chapter 141: Something Happened to Anhao (3) Chapter 141: Something Happened to Anhao (3) Translator: 549690339 After hanging up, Anhao stared at her phone blankly for a while. For the past few days, Zuo Hancheng and her relationship seemed to have suddenly become two parallel lines. They had no intersection at all. She did not even know that he had gone to S City on a business trip. She did not return to Liu Jing Garden, nor did she see Zuo Yue. It was as if she had suddenly turned back into the Gu Anhao from before, the Gu Anhao who was alone. The next day, because it was the day of the final exams in A High School, the time was different from the usual class schedule. The first exam started at 8:30 in the morning. Anhao had been staying up late to tutor recently, so she didn¡¯t get enough sleep. When Chunchun and Huang Amao went out for breakfast, she didn¡¯t go. She slept alone in the dormitory for an extra hour before getting up. She had planned to look at the mock test paper for a while more and prepare to take the test in half an hour, but she suddenly received a call from the student union, saying that Anhao had not collected anything for this semester and wanted her to collect it before winter vacation. Anhao couldn¡¯t hear what the person on the phone was saying, but she didn¡¯t really care about the things that the school distributed to the students. Since she had to take them before the winter break, she might as well go and take them now. When she arrived at the Student Union¡¯s office, she realized that it was empty. There were no other staff members in the corridor except for the invigilators and students. The corridor was very quiet, but there seemed to be some movement in the washroom. It was probably the student council members who had gone to the washroom. Anhao waited patiently for a while. There were still 20 minutes before the exam, but no one from the Student Union came to the office. Anhao walked towards the washroom. He pushed open the bathroom door and was about to ask if the person inside was the one who had called him just now when he suddenly heard something. He looked up and saw a plastic bucket full of water falling from the door frame. The speed of the water was too fast. The moment Anhao noticed something was wrong and raised her head, the water splashed directly on her face. The cold water dripped down her hair and drenched her whole body. ¡°Hahahahaha!¡± The laughter of a few girls who had succeeded came from the stairs behind the corner. When Anhao turned around to look, she saw Han Ru standing among them, looking at her sorry state with a smug expression. ¡°You¡¯re sick.¡± Anhao cursed in a low voice and wiped the water off her face. Fortunately, the water was clean and did not have an unpleasant smell. However, she was so wet that she could not go straight to the exam. Could it be that Han Ru wanted to use such a childish method to hinder his examination? Thinking of this, Anhao suddenly turned to look at Han Ru.¡±¡±Do you want to Han Ru crossed her arms.¡± Aiya, I¡¯m so scared. Gu Anhao, if you have the ability, hit me again. Aren¡¯t you afraid of killing me?¡± Do you really think that I¡¯m afraid of death? I¡¯m standing right here. If you¡¯re not convinced, come and fight me!¡± Anhao was not that bored. Seeing Han Ru¡¯s smug face, she really wanted to go up and tear her apart. ¡°Idiot.¡± Anhao cursed under her breath. The exam was coming up soon, and she didn¡¯t have time to play with her. She took out a tissue from her bag and wiped her face and hands. She turned around and prepared to go back to the dormitory to change into a set of clean clothes as soon as possible. Han Ru¡¯s matter would be resolved after the exam. She would not tolerate this matter so quietly. How dare she use the phone in the Student Union office to trick her? She, Gu Anhao, would not let Han Ru know what retribution was in the future! ¡°Gu Anhao, are you leaving just like that?¡±Han Ru saw that she was about to go back and change her clothes. She smiled proudly and said,¡±¡±lf you go back to the dormitory now, it¡¯ll be too late. You¡¯ll be late for the exam.¡± Anhao ignored her. She felt that something was wrong. The girls around Han Ru were all close to her, but there were only two or three of them. Han Ru wouldn¡¯t be so fearless as to provoke her when she was just discharged from the hospital. She didn¡¯t even bring many people with her. Was she forcing him to attack her, or was she really courting death? Or perhaps¡­What was her motive? ¡°Gu Anhao, why are you running? Your dead mother became someone else¡¯s mistress, and you¡¯re already acting like a mistress before you even graduated from high school. Like mother, like daughter!¡±A girl next to Han Ru suddenly laughed. Anhao stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned around to walk back. Even though she was drenched, she was not in a sorry state. At least her expression was cold and calm beyond Han Ru and the others ¡®expectations. She walked up to the girl and looked at her coldly.¡±You can criticize me however you want. There¡¯s no need to bring my mother along with you again and again. I advise you to keep your mouth shut and not insult a person who¡¯s already dead. Otherwise, you might not be able to sleep at night!¡± The girl crossed her arms proudly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You and your daughter are so cheap. One of you is a mistress and even gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, while the other is a mistress. Fu, you live such a cheap life and you don¡¯t allow others to say it?¡± Normally, Anhao would definitely kick this girl down the stairs. But now, firstly, she didn¡¯t want to cause trouble, and secondly, she felt that something was wrong. It felt like they had come prepared. Could it be that Han Ru was trying to clear her name for attacking first the last time and had come to provoke her this time, forcing her to hurt someone with every word she said? Then, someone would take a photo of it and send it to the principal or somewhere else? No matter what Han Ru¡¯s purpose was, she felt that she was stalling for time, and it was definitely not a good thing. Anhao¡¯s heart was on alert. She only glanced at them and did not say anything else. She just glanced at them indifferently and walked to the stairs behind them, ready to go back to the dormitory to change. When An Hao stepped behind them to the threshold of the emergency exit, Han Ru and the other women beside her suddenly gave each other a look. Anhao stopped in her tracks, feeling that something was wrong. In a flash, the door of the safe passage suddenly jumped out from the other side, two tall boys, raised the two black school bags in their hands, and smashed them on her body. Anhao instinctively stepped back and raised her hand to block the schoolbags that were falling on her. However, she felt a sharp pain in her arm and realized that these two boys were called by Han Ru and the others. Their schoolbags were not books! It was like¡­ There was a huge rock in the bag! Anhao pulled her arm back and saw that it was already red. When the two men used brute force to throw the stone at her again, Anhao turned around and wanted to dodge to avoid being hit. Just as she turned around and did not move, the two girls beside Han Ru suddenly stepped forward and blocked her way. ¡°Get lost!¡± Anhao cursed in a low voice and raised her hand to push them away.. Chapter 142 - Chapter 142: Something Happened to Anhao (4) Chapter 142: Something Happened to Anhao (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Get lost!¡± Anhao cursed in a low voice and raised her hand to push them away. As soon as she finished speaking, her back was hit hard by the school bags in the hands of the two boys. A huge pain hit her. She felt as if her spine was about to break. It was so painful that her eyes turned red. She turned around to resist. However, the two girls in front of her deliberately entangled her, and the two tall men behind her kept throwing stones at her with their bags. No matter how agile Anhao was, her movements were still much slower. It was not until the two men smashed their bags at her back that she suddenly bent down and was about to jump out of their range. She didn¡¯t expect one of the boys to have such a long arm and pull her back. The bag in his hand suddenly smashed heavily on the back of Anhao¡¯s neck. The moment the sharp pain came, Anhao felt as if there was a mouthful of blood in her throat. She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed the boy¡¯s wrist. She twisted it hard and he immediately cried out in pain. ¡°Mom. Yes! Why was Gu Anhao so strong?¡± The boy¡¯s wrist was almost dislocated by her twist. Taking advantage of the fact that Anhao did not have much strength left to resist them, he quickly pulled his hand back and pushed her fiercely in the direction of the bathroom. ¡°Get lost!¡± Anhao felt a little dizzy, and the pain from the back of her neck that was hit went all the way to her head, and she felt dizzy and in great pain. She stumbled to the bathroom door and closed her eyes to stay awake. However, Han Ru suddenly walked over with a few people, opened the bathroom door, and pushed Anhao in. Anhao fell to the floor of the bathroom. There was still a puddle of water on the floor. The water splashed on her face. She lay on the ground and struggled for a long time, unable to get up. At the same time, the bathroom door was suddenly slammed shut, and the sound of the door being locked could be heard from outside. Anhao propped herself up on the ground and raised her hand to caress the back of her neck. However, her hand was already full of water. She raised her hand to wipe the back of her neck, but she didn¡¯t know if there was any blood. Because the light in the bathroom was switched off. This washroom was the most deserted place in the school building. It was said that A High had been haunted a few years ago, and the haunted place was this washroom. Therefore, the washroom on this floor was usually not used by anyone, unless people from other floors were queuing up to use the washroom and could not wait to use it. Today, everyone was having an exam, and this floor was mostly just an office. There were no students walking back and forth, and no one would pass by. The windows around the washroom were sealed. The moment the lights were turned off, it was pitch black. ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. The exam is in three minutes!¡±The sounds outside were getting further and further away, and the footsteps of those people were also gradually fading away. Anhao struggled on the ground for a while, but she still couldn¡¯t get up. The pain from her back all the way to the back of her neck seemed to be binding all the nerves in her body, making it impossible for her to gather the strength to sit up. After trying for a while more, a bell suddenly rang from outside, and Anhao¡¯s movements froze. At 8:30 pm, it was time for the exam. She looked up at the darkness in the washroom, and her mind began to buzz. A dark memory from many years ago invaded her, and she gradually felt that she could not breathe. It was too dark¡­ It was too dark here¡­ No, she could not stay here. She had to leave. Anhao gritted her teeth and endured the immense pain in her body. It took her a long time to sit up with difficulty. She raised her hand to touch the most painful spot on the back of her neck and staggered to the door. She raised her hand and Dulled the door. The door was really locked. She frowned and patted it hard.¡±Is anyone there? Is there anyone outside? Let me out!¡± After a long time, there was no movement outside. Anhao slowly slid down the door, sitting on the ground and leaning against the door, looking at the darkness inside. The windows were completely sealed and the door was tightly shut. As the huge bathroom was not often used, there was only the smell of clean disinfectant and no unpleasant smell. However, in this darkness, Anhao only felt her head getting more and more dizzy. The pain in her body was also heart-wrenching, and even¡­The darker it was¡­The more suffocated he was¡­ 8:40. The exam had already been going on for ten minutes. Logically speaking, even if Gu Anhao was usually rebellious and often came late and left early, she would not be late today. Even if he was late, he couldn¡¯t be too late. However, it had already been ten minutes since the start of the match. Why was Gu Anhao still not here? This special classroom was personally supervised by the principal, but only Han Ru was sitting in front of a table and slowly writing her papers. Gu Anhao did not show up. After a while, Han Ru looked up and saw the principal¡¯s thoughtful expression. She immediately smiled and asked,¡±¡±Principal, didn¡¯t Gu Anhao say that she wanted to take the exam with me? Why isn¡¯t she here yet?¡± The principal frowned and looked at the time in confusion. Then, he looked at the smile on Han Ru¡¯s face.¡±¡±You said yesterday that you would resolve this matter yourself, but Gu Anhao didn¡¯t come for the exam today. What¡¯s going on? Did her absence have anything to do with you?¡± Han Ru shook her head.¡± I don¡¯t know. I said that I have a way to deal with her. I just said that I won¡¯t let her copy my paper. I have a way to deal with this matter. I don¡¯t mean anything else.¡¯¡±¡® The principal nodded, but he was still a little uneasy. He looked at Han Ru slowly answering the paper and then looked at the blank paper on the other table. Two hours later, when the first exam ended, Gu Anhao still did not show up. At this moment, Anhao, who was in the washroom, was drenched in sweat. She was holding her phone that didn¡¯t even have a signal bar and was sending the same message in vain. I¡¯m in the washroom on the sixth floor of the school. I¡¯m locked inside. Come and help me open the door. She sent the message to Chunchun, Huang Amao, and all the people in her contact list who would definitely come to help her after receiving the message. This included sending it to Zuo Hancheng. However, this washroom was almost half-closed after the haunted incident. The windows and doors were tightly sealed. Even if she sat in front of the door, there was no signal at all. Not to mention the school¡¯s Wifi signal, even the signal that came with the phone card did not work. She could only barely use the light from her phone screen to make the bathroom light up. However, because she had stayed up late to tutor last night, she had forgotten to charge her phone. Her phone only had one-third of its battery left. As she was texting in vain, there was not much battery left on her phone. However, Anhao still managed to calm herself down with the help of the weak light from the screen. Looking at the sign that showed no signal on the phone, her heart sank.. Chapter 143 - Chapter 143: Something Happened to Anhao (5) Chapter 143: Something Happened to Anhao (5) Translator: 549690339 Gu Anhao hadn¡¯t attended two exams, and she couldn¡¯t even get through to her phone. The principal found it very strange. Seeing that Han Ru¡¯s expression was normal when she was answering the papers today, he felt that an eighteen-year-old child like her should not cause any trouble. Perhaps something had happened to Gu Anhao, or Gu Anhao had stage fright and regretted not coming. However, he might not be able to explain this matter to President Zuo in the end. The principal took advantage of the lunch break to ask an invigilator to call Chunchun and Huang Amao over. Chunchun and Huang Amao were also baffled.¡±¡±Anhao hasn¡¯t been here since this morning. We thought she was taking the exam with Han Ru today, so we didn¡¯t look for her.¡¯ ¡°Gu Anhao didn¡¯t come for the two exams in the morning. I haven¡¯t been able to contact her yet. The two of you are her best classmates.¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao looked at each other, feeling strange. ¡°No, Anhao has been studying hard recently so that she can improve her final exam results. Moreover, she has written a letter of challenge to Han Ru. With Anhao¡¯s personality, she definitely won¡¯t be absent.¡± Huang Amao said as he took out his phone and called Anhao. A minute later, she put down her phone and said with a puzzled look,¡± I can¡¯t get through to Anhao¡¯s phone.¡± Chunchun also tried to call Anhao, but the result was the same. The other party¡¯s signal could not be connected. ¡°I have Gu Anhao¡¯s phone number. If I could find her by phone, why would I call you guys?¡±The principal frowned. He was really suspicious and was especially worried that something would happen today. His eyelids had been twitching since yesterday. ¡°But when we went back to the dormitory during lunch break, Anhao wasn¡¯t there.¡± Hearing this answer, the principal frowned deeply. If this was in the past, Gu Anhao, who had never been willing to take the exam seriously, would not need him to go through so much trouble to find her. Anyway, she would write her name on the answer sheet every time she took the exam and leave without answering a single question. However, things were different now. Gu Anhao was the one who requested to take the exam with Han Ru. She was the one who said that she would definitely improve her results. She was the one who swore. However, Gu Anhao seemed to have suddenly disappeared from school. There was no trace of her in the entire school. Her phone could not be reached, and her good friends could not contact her. ¡°Do you have the contact information of the rest of her family? Or the contact information of someone else who was on good terms with her? Could it be that she didn¡¯t plan to take the exam and went somewhere else?¡±the principal asked. Seeing that the principal wanted to find Anhao immediately, Chunchun and Huang Amao shook their heads.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao hasn¡¯t had any so-called family contact with her in the past few years. Principal, you should know about this as well. The Gu family is basically letting her go. Anhao has no other place to go besides school, unless¡­ Chunchun was stunned for a moment and looked at the principal again.¡¯¡±¡® Unless it¡¯s the Gilded Scenic Garden. Anhao is currently living in the Gilded Scenic Garden, and¡­ ¡°You mean Gu Anhao lives in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s place?¡±The principal frowned. Although he was not sure what the relationship between Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng was, he had heard of the rumors in the school recently. However, judging from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s discipline of Gu Anhao, it should not be that kind of dirty relationship. Moreover, Gu Anhao was just a child, while Zuo Hancheng was an internationally famous person. It was impossible for them to have such a relationship. So it wasn¡¯t strange for Gu Anhao to stay in Zuo Hancheng. Seeing Chunchun¡¯s hesitation, the principal frowned.¡¯¡±¡®Are you sure she would run back to another residence at this time?¡± In the end, the two children shook their heads at the same time. ¡°With Anhao¡¯s personality, she would never go back so suddenly. She¡¯s been working very hard for the past month, and she¡¯s also working very hard.¡± ¡°Could something have happened?¡± Chunchun was puzzled. ¡°What could possibly happen to you in school?¡±The principal was very sensitive to the word ¡®accident¡¯. He immediately waved his hand unhappily.¡±The two of you go back first and think of a way to find her. If there¡¯s any news, tell me immediately. If she still plans to miss the exam in the afternoon, then I can¡¯t protect her.¡± Only after Chunchun and Huang Amao left did the principal look at the door thoughtfully. Why would this person suddenly disappear? It would be fine if he said that he was just playing truant, but the disappearance was too bizarre. It was hard not to think of it as a bad thing. However, Gu Anhao had always been fearless. Moreover, this child knew some self-defense methods. If she disappeared from school just like that, what could happen? However, after Chunchun left the principal¡¯s office with Huang Amao, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. On the other side, on the sixth floor of the school. Han Ru and the two girls walked to the bathroom on the sixth floor. No one had passed by the corridor on this floor all day. Even the workers from the Academic Affairs Office did not come to this floor today. It was extremely quiet. To be honest, if it wasn¡¯t because she knew that Gu Anhao was inside, Han Ru wouldn¡¯t have dared to come to this floor. After all, she heard that there was a ghost in the bathroom here a few years ago. ¡°Why isn¡¯t there any movement in the bathroom?¡±the female voice beside Han Ru suddenly said. Han Ru walked to the door of the bathroom and stood there for a while. She listened carefully and there was indeed no movement inside. However, when Gu Anhao was beaten up today, although the two bags were filled with stones, they were both very thick canvas bags. There were at least two to three millimeters of thin cotton in the skin of the bags. It was impossible for her to die so easily. Moreover, Han Ru wanted to teach her a lesson so that she would not be able to fight back, so she used such a violent method to deal with her. However, she definitely didn¡¯t believe that Gu Anhao would be beaten to death so easily. Han Ru stood outside the door and said calmly,¡± Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t have to pretend to be dead. Even if you were really dead, I would never let you out. I¡¯m going to let you have a taste of my power today.¡± In the past three years at A High, I¡¯ve never liked you, but I¡¯ve never been interested in people like you. I¡¯ve never interacted much with you. Do you really think that I, Han Ru, am so weak that I can be bullied by you? Did you really think that I wouldn¡¯t dare to take revenge on you just because you found Zuo Hancheng to back you up? ¡°You caused me to be hospitalized for so many days and caused a surgical scar to appear on my stomach for no reason. I will never forgive you in this lifetime! This lesson today is just a warning to you. Don¡¯t go against me. Don¡¯t think that you can see through everything. You want to take the exam with me?¡± ¡°Han Ru, there¡¯s still no sound from inside.. Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Black Bentley, Gallop (1) Chapter 144: Black Bentley, Gallop (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Han Ru, there¡¯s still no sound from inside. She had already said all that, but Gu Anhao still didn¡¯t respond. Han Ru hesitated for a while before she raised her hand and tapped on the door.¡±Gu Anhao, don¡¯t play dead with me!¡± There was still no response from inside. It was so quiet that it was as if no one existed. ¡°You said¡­Wasn¡¯t there a ghost in this bathroom? Could it be¡­Did Gu Anhao run into a ghost? Could it have been taken away by a ghost?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense!¡± Han Ru was stunned for a moment and frowned.¡± Even if she really ran into a ghost, it has nothing to do with me!¡±¡± ¡°Then what should we do now¡­This morning, they seemed to be quite ruthless. After all, they were two big boys, not as weak as us girls¡­l saw that Gu Anhao was beaten up so badly that she couldn¡¯t stand up in an instant¡­¡± ¡°She won¡¯t die anyway.¡± Han Ru¡¯s face was already a little worried, but she did not want to let Gu Anhao out, afraid that she would ruin her exam. As long as the exam was over, no matter what Gu Anhao said, he could say that Gu An was lying because she was jealous of his results. ¡°Han Ru, we won¡¯t kill anyone, right¡­¡± The two girls who were with Han Ru started to feel scared. Han Ru turned around and walked towards the stairs. As she walked, she said, ¡®¡±¡®No, so what if someone really died? My family has people in the military. Who would dare to touch me? Moreover, this is a blind spot in the first layer of the city. No surveillance cameras can capture it. If you don¡¯t want to get into trouble, keep your mouths shut and don¡¯t say anything.¡± The corridor was silent again after Han Ru walked out of the bathroom. Only the phone beside Anhao¡¯s hand emitted the last glimmer of light before it ran out of battery. ¡°How could he not take the exam? It¡¯s too strange.¡± Huang Amao and Chunchun said as they walked to the dormitory, Anhao has been working hard for the past month just to get a good result for the final exam. Besides, Han Ru, that white lotus, has said such nasty things. Anhao definitely won¡¯t tolerate it. Even if she¡¯s really worried that she won¡¯t do well in the exam, she definitely won¡¯t hide by going missing.¡± ¡°Yeah, I think there¡¯s a problem too. Could something have really happened?¡±Chunchun said, ¡°Should we call the police?¡± ¡°Call the police? Don¡¯t you have any common sense? The police won¡¯t handle cases where an adult has been missing for less than 24 hours. Besides, Anhao has only been missing for four to five hours since eight in the morning.¡± ¡± But with Anhao¡¯s personality, if nothing had happened, she wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s just what we know about her. The police don¡¯t care about that.¡±Huang Amao looked at the classroom behind him suspiciously. ¡°Seriously, I don¡¯t even have the mood to take the exam. I just casually answered some questions that I barely knew.¡± ¡°Me too. I want to find Anhao.¡¯ ¡°Now, I don¡¯t think the principal will be able to do it. I don¡¯t know what the principal is thinking. The environment in A High is too complicated. Chunchun, don¡¯t you still have Professor Yi¡¯s phone number? Give him a call and see if he can find a way to contact Anhao, or if he can think of a way to mobilize some manpower or use some method to find Anhao as soon as possible.¡± Chunchun took out her phone and scrolled through her address book as she walked out of the teaching building. Yi Group¡¯s Financial Institution Yi Zeyang hurriedly walked out of the company after receiving the call. Qi Weiran secretly came to the company to see him at this time. Seeing that Yi Zeyang seemed to have something urgent, she quickly walked over and said, ¡°¡±Zeyang, my grandfather said that he hasn¡¯t seen you in a long time. He wants you to come to our house for dinner tonight. Are you free?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it another day.¡± Yi Zeyang walked straight to the parking lot at the front gate of the Yi Group with a blank expression. Qi Weiran saw his solemn expression and thought that something had happened. She quickly followed him and said, ¡°Did something happen? It¡¯s not working hours now? Where are you going?¡± Yi Zeyang stopped in his tracks and looked at Qi Weiran.¡¯¡±¡®l have to go out for a while. I¡¯ll visit Grandpa Qi another day. Go back first. I¡¯ll contact you when I¡¯m done.¡± After saying that, Yi Zeyang did not wait for Qi Weiran¡¯s response. He quickly walked to the parking lot, took out the electronic car key, and walked to the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz that had its front and rear headlights flashing. He opened the door and got into the car. Qi Weiran watched Yi Zeyang drive away with a puzzled look on her face. She watched as he drove the car into the traffic on the road at a fast speed and headed east. Something big must have happened. Although Yi Zeyang had always made his stance clear and never promised her any feelings, the two of them had always been on good terms. He had never spoken to her with such a serious expression and such indifferent and perfunctory words. No, there was once. That time at the entrance of A High School, when he saw Gu Anhao quarreling with those women, he ignored her feelings and let her get into the car first, leaving her at the school gate and ignoring her. Was it because of Gu Anhao again? Although she didn¡¯t know where he was going, A High was indeed in the east of the Yi Group. Qi Weiran¡¯s gaze paused for a moment. She turned around and walked quickly to the red sports car that she had just parked by the roadside. She followed Yi Zeyang¡¯s car and chased after it. When Yi Zeyang arrived at A High School, it was already 3 pm. Chunchun and Huang Amao saw him and quickly ran out of the school gate to welcome him.¡±¡±Professor Yi, Anhao has been missing for seven hours and we still can¡¯t contact her. She didn¡¯t come for the exam today and the principal has been looking for her for a long time.¡± Yi Zeyang frowned. Why did he suddenly disappear?¡± He had called Anhao on the way here, but it was indeed impossible to get through. Later on, when he called again, her phone was turned off. Huang Amao explained the entire situation in detail and their speculations. Yi Zeyang¡¯s frown deepened. He was starting to feel that this matter was definitely not that simple. ¡°Professor Yi, we heard from Anhao that you used to have a very good relationship with Anhao, so we had no choice but to look for you. We hope you can help.¡± Yi Zeyang knew Anhao well, so he knew that she would never disappear without a trace. He also knew how long she had been preparing for this exam. That girl had always been stubborn. No matter what happened, she would never retreat or use such a method to escape. Seeing Yi Zeyang frown, Chunchun and Huang Amao were even more afraid. They were really afraid that something had happened to Anhao. On the other side- On the highway from S City to A City, the black Bentley was speeding in the direction of A City.. Chapter 145 - Chapter 145: Black Bentley, Gallop (2) Chapter 145: Black Bentley, Gallop (2) Translator: 549690339 On the other side- On the highway from S City to A City, the black Bentley was speeding in the direction of A City¡­ Two hours ago. Mobai received a call from the principal, claiming that Anhao didn¡¯t attend the exam today and couldn¡¯t be contacted on her phone. Everyone who was familiar with Anhao couldn¡¯t find her either. He didn¡¯t know what had happened to Anhao, so he had no choice but to call Mobai out of concern and concern for the students. When Mobai received the call, Zuo Hancheng was in a meeting room of a certain group building in S City. He could not go in and disturb him, so he waited outside for nearly an hour. It was only after the meeting had temporarily come to an end that Mobai hurriedly walked into the meeting room. Ignoring the people who had left the meeting room, he walked straight to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng was sitting at the conference table with a slight frown on his handsome face. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the contents of today¡¯s meeting. He was afraid that they would have to stay in S City for another day. However, Mobai knew that Gu Anhao was an exception. After all, he didn¡¯t know what had happened to Gu Anhao, so he couldn¡¯t delay it. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Mobai walked to his side and whispered, ¡®¡±¡®The principal of A High contacted me just now.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold as he placed the meeting documents on the table. He raised his hand and massaged the space between his eyebrows.¡±What does he want this time?¡± Ever since the principal of A High was almost removed from his position, he had been contacting Mobai in a very polite and careful manner. He wanted to build a good relationship with them indirectly, not wanting to affect his future because of Gu Anhao. Although Mobai was annoyed by this principal, he had to accept it out of courtesy. Moreover, Gu An had not graduated from A High School yet. Mobai could only put up with this principal who was always looking for trouble from Miss Gu¡¯s point of view. ¡°Miss Gu didn¡¯t go to the exam today.¡±Mobai said softly as he stood beside him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand that was stroking his forehead paused and he slowly put it down. ¡°The principal said that Miss Gu went missing after eight in the morning. No one has seen her since eight in the morning, and we haven¡¯t been able to contact her until now. Not only did Miss Gu not attend the exam as promised, but she also cut off contact with everyone. She felt that something was wrong, so she called me to tell me.¡± ¡°He¡¯s afraid that if something happens, he¡¯ll have to bear the responsibility. That¡¯s why he called just now. His motive was to let us contact Miss Gu, but in fact, Miss Gu is in A City now. How can we find her?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything at first. After a moment of silence, he took out his phone and dialed Anhao¡¯s number. Until the cold female voice of the system came from the phone, indicating that the other party¡¯s call could not be connected. He slowly put down the phone and looked at the time. Seeing Zuo Hancheng sitting quietly in the conference room, it seemed that he didn¡¯t continue to care about the meaning of this matter, MO Bai also didn¡¯t say more, but also took a look at the time. It was already afternoon. Miss Gu had been missing since then. Where could she have gone? ¡°By the way, President Zuo, neither party has reached an agreement on the contract in S City today. Although this matter is beyond our plan, based on the current situation, our trip may need to be delayed by one day and we will have to stay in S City for one more night.¡±Mobai said. However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly stood up and walked out. He said,¡¯¡±¡®Send the vice president and Lin Qing over to settle the contract as soon as possible. I¡¯ll return to City A and leave this to you.¡± Mobai wasn¡¯t too surprised. He calmly replied, ¡°¡±0kay, President Zuo, don¡¯t worry.¡± It seemed that Gu Anhao was indeed a different person in President Zuo¡¯s eyes. The black Bentley was still speeding on the road. Zuo Hancheng had called Anhao more than once during this period, but it was always the same robotic female voice that answered, and he could not get through. In Zuo Hancheng¡¯s impression, although Gu Anhao had not reached the mature and steady state of a woman over twenty years old, she was definitely not a willful person for no reason. Anhao took the final exam very seriously. From his observation of her every day, this exam was related to her reputation. That girl had been criticized for so long in A High School, and this exam had a huge impact on her. Firstly, it was for her reputation and dignity, and secondly, she had to use this method to counterattack. Counterattack. This was the word she kept muttering when she was tired from tutoring a few days ago. It was obvious that she was looking forward to it. Therefore, as long as this exam was not affected by a matter of life and death, she would definitely not be absent. However, she did not take the exam. Missing. What did he mean by missing? Six to seven hours was enough for a person in danger to have all kinds of unpredictable consequences. Zuo Hancheng continued to speed up, heading towards A City at an unprecedented speed. At four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the final exams for the key subjects had all been completed, but Anhao still hadn¡¯t appeared. Chunchun, Huang, Ah Mao, and the others were not the only ones who were worried. The news of Gu Anhao¡¯s disappearance had spread throughout the school. Everyone was wondering why Gu Anhao had missed the exam. After all, her vow to pass Han Rut s exam had already been spread to many students. However, Gu Anhao¡¯s absence and disappearance today made everyone suspect that she was afraid of losing face, so she didn¡¯t come. Amid the waves of criticism, Yi Zeyang had already contacted the police station and the signal Bureau. After putting down the phone, Yi Zeyang looked at Chunchun and Huang Amao, who were still worried.¡±¡±Anhao¡¯s cell phone signal was cut off at around eight in the morning, so it¡¯s impossible to determine her exact location. However, before the signal was cut Ott, her cell phone signal was within A High¡¯s campus network.¡± ¡°In other words, Anhao was in school before she disappeared? Could she have been kidnapped by someone?¡±Chunchun¡¯s face was filled with worry. Yi Zeyang turned around and walked to the security room at the school gate. After asking around, he confirmed that Anhao had not left the school gate today. He turned around and was about to go to the back door to take a look when he suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car parked outside A High School at the same time. When Zuo Hancheng got out of the car and walked in this direction, Yi Zeyang frowned. The students who were looking at the main entrance from every corner of the campus suddenly saw the handsome man walk in. Many of them had seen the photo on Xiao Ya¡¯s phone and recognized him as the legendary CEO of Shengling Group, Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Oh my god, what day is it today? Professor Yi is no longer our guest professor, but he suddenly came back. The CEO of Shengling Group is here too. Has A High risen to a higher level?¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao ignored the voices of the people around them. The moment they saw Zuo Hancheng, they quickly walked over as if they had seen their savior.¡±President Zuo! Fortunately, you¡¯re here. We should have looked for you long ago, but we didn¡¯t have your contact information¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng only glanced at the two of them before he shifted his gaze back to Yi Zeyang.. He did not waste any time and asked directly,¡±¡±Have you checked the signal?¡± Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: Black Bentley, Gallop (3) Chapter 146: Black Bentley, Gallop (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng only glanced at the two of them before he shifted his gaze back to Yi Zeyang. He did not waste any time and asked directly,¡±¡±Have you checked the signal?¡± Yi Zeyang nodded slightly. Although he looked calm, everyone could see the worry and anxiety in his eyes. Everyone could tell how much he cared about Gu Anhao. Chunchun and Huang Amao were the only ones who knew everything about Anhao. The two little girls secretly looked at each other and felt that it was not good for Professor Yi and Zuo Hancheng to be here at the same time. But now, the most important thing was to find Gu Anhao. ¡°Anhao¡¯s cell phone signal disappeared around eight in the morning, and the last signal was within the range of A High¡¯s campus network.¡±Yi Zeyang said,¡± I¡¯ve already spoken to the police. Although the police won¡¯t be able to handle the case until a certain period of time has passed, they¡¯ve already started to file a case and are ready to come out to help find the person. ¡°Disappeared at eight o¡¯clock, within the range of the campus network.¡±Zuo Hancheng repeated the main points of Yi Zeyang¡¯s words calmly. At the same time, he turned to look at the few teaching buildings and dormitory buildings in A High, including the cafeteria and logistics building. ¡°Since the signal data hasn¡¯t left A High, we¡¯ll look for it in A High. Just as everyone was still wondering if Anhao had been kidnapped, Zuo Hancheng spoke again. At the same time, he turned around and walked straight towards the direction of the school building. Yi Zeyang frowned and walked towards him.¡±¡±Not necessarily. If Anhao leaves the school after the signal is cut off, it will only delay the search even more.¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and turned around. His eyes, which were as cold as a clear spring, swept across Yi Zeyang.¡±Anhao has been tutoring non-stop from morning till night for the past month. Currently, her recent goal is to prepare for today¡¯s exam.¡± Of course, Yi Zeyang knew what the meaning of this was, so he did not say anything. ¡°With her stubborn personality, unless a knife is placed on her neck during today¡¯s exam, she will definitely not leave A High. ¡°After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked straight to the front of the teaching building. Chunchun and Huang Amao ran over and followed behind Yi Zeyang.¡±¡±Professor Yi, the security room just received a call from the back door of the school. They said that no students went out from the back door today.¡± In other words, there was a 90% chance that Anhao really did not leave A High. But since she was still in A High School, why would she mysteriously disappear and not go to the exam? Yi Zeyang was also aware of Anhao¡¯s personality. Since she had already reached this stage, she would definitely not miss this exam. The scene from many years ago had been lingering in his mind for a few hours. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already entered the teaching building and started searching, Yi Zeyang pursed his lips and did not say anything. He suddenly walked forward. In the quiet corridor, there were no more students in the classrooms because the exams had ended. Only a few invigilators who were about to leave work walked back and forth occasionally. However, when they saw Yi Zeyang and Zuo Hancheng, who were both men of extraordinary bearing, and saw that their expressions were not too good, they did not dare to block the way. When they walked past, they instinctively moved aside to avoid being an obstacle. Every classroom was empty. Zuo Hancheng stared expressionlessly at the classroom doors that he passed by, ignoring the people who followed him. However, when he heard Chunchun and Huang Amao chasing after him, he continued to walk forward and asked coldly,¡±¡±Where does she like to go most in A High?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao were stunned. When they weren¡¯t tutoring, they would mostly return to the dormitory and rarely stay in the classroom. If it was a month ago, when Anhao wasn¡¯t working so hard at tutoring, she would rarely be in school. The three of us would often leave school and fool around.¡± Hearing this answer, Yi Zeyang frowned. Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change, it was obvious that his expression had become colder. The few of them did not say much. They saw that Zuo Hancheng firmly believed that Anhao must still be in A High School. Although they did not understand why he was so sure, they thought carefully that it was indeed impossible for Anhao to leave today, so they followed him closely and searched for her. After searching the third floor, Chunchun and Huang Amao volunteered to split up with them in another teaching building. After all, A High was very big. There were thousands of students, and there were a total of four teaching buildings and a few other buildings. After Chunchun and Huang Amao left, Yi Zeyang and Zuo Hancheng had already started their search. However, after searching two more floors, the two of them met at the staircase on the seventh floor. When their eyes met, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at him coldly.¡± Young Master Yi has been troubled. Do you want to say something to me?¡± Yi Zeyang sighed faintly and frowned,¡±¡±l¡¯m worried about Anhao. I¡¯m afraid that something like when she was young will happen to her.¡± ¡°When I was young?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, turned around and went upstairs.¡±¡±What happened when I was young?¡± Yi Zeyang turned around and walked up at the same time, saying,¡±¡±Although Anhao had been in the Yi family since she was born, Gu Tianming had actually known about her existence as an illegitimate daughter a long time ago. He just ignored her and thought that Anhao¡¯s mother would not bring her illegitimate daughter to him.¡± The two of them walked up to the eighth floor. The eighth floor was the top floor of this teaching building. Similarly, all the teachers and offices were empty. Even the washroom was quiet and empty. Although Yi Zeyang¡¯s voice was very calm and soft, it still echoed faintly in the empty corridor when he opened his mouth,¡±¡±More than ten years ago, when Gu Tianming was in power in other provinces and cities, he provoked some gangsters. Those people had secretly locked onto the Gu family and planned to kidnap Gu Tianming¡¯s child to threaten him to sign some approval documents. At that time, Gu Tianming had already noticed those people. With the Daoist¡¯s swift action, he quickly sent the Gu family overseas for protection, but he ignored the capabilities of those people. They found out about Anhao¡¯s mother and her background, but because they could not kidnap Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi, they simply kidnapped Anhao, who was still in kindergarten.¡± Hearing this, Zuo Hancheng was about to enter the elevator when he stopped for a moment. ¡°At that time, Anhao was five years old, and I was only in my teens. My father was overseas at that time and couldn¡¯t make it back in time. He didn¡¯t participate in this matter, so the only person who could save Anhao after she was kidnapped was Gu Tianming.¡± Yi Zeyang looked at Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±lt¡¯s obvious that Gu Tianming didn¡¯t care about Anhao¡¯s life or death at all. At that time, Anhao¡¯s mother cried until her eyes were swollen and begged him to think of a way to save Anhao, but Gu Tianming ignored her. He even refused to see her and refused to admit the existence of this illegitimate daughter. Later, Anhao¡¯s mother had no choice but to file a police report, but the police did not dare to accept it..¡± Chapter 147 - Chapter 147: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (1) Chapter 147: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°The matter dragged on for two days. Five-year-old Anhao was locked up in a small dark room by the underworld. She was not released for two days and two nights, and she was not given a bite of food or water.¡± ¡°I was only 14 years old at that time. I wanted to save her, but I couldn¡¯t. In the end, I could only ask my uncle¡¯s people to help me think of a way. In the end, I finally got the police to save Anhao. Anhao¡¯s voice was already hoarse from crying. She was only five years old. She was so small and dirty when she was carried out of the dark room. She kept trembling, but she could no longer cry. When she looked at everyone, her eyes were filled with fear. I couldn¡¯t imagine how she spent those two long days and nights in the dark room.¡± ¡°From then on, I began to pay special attention to Anhao¡¯s personal safety. I even tried my best to pick her up personally when she went to and from school. However, Anhao did not speak for a whole year and a half after that incident. We all thought that she was mute from then on, so we took her to see a psychiatrist. The doctor said that it was because of psychological factors. She was too young and her heart was too fragile. The harm and threats she suffered were unimaginable to any of us. At that time, Anhao sealed herself up.¡± For a whole year and a half, she didn¡¯t speak, didn¡¯t smile, and ate very little. Her health became very poor. Her mother washed her face in tears every day, afraid that Anhao wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on, but it wasn¡¯t until Anhao went to primary school and came into contact with a new environment that her personality gradually changed. She became more obedient and sensible, and she began to accept everything. She could talk and smile¡­¡± Yi Zeyang sighed as he spoke.¡± So, what I¡¯m most worried about now is that Anhao will be kidnapped again. The reason why I thought about the interruption of her signal just now was because she left school was because I¡¯ve been worried that another kidnapping would find her. After all, more and more people know that she¡¯s Gu Tianming¡¯s illegitimate daughter.¡± ¡°Gu Tianming has been in politics for many years and has offended many people. There are also many people who are eyeing the Gu family covetously. However, he has protected Gu Shishi very well, but Anhao¡­Completely ignored¡­She was like a child who was pushed to the edge of a bomb that was about to explode. If anything happened, she would definitely be the first to explode.¡± Zuo Hancheng was silent for a moment before he said,¡±¡±You said that she was stimulated and hurt when she was young. Is this what happened?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what she¡¯s been through in the Gu family for the past five years, and she won¡¯t tell me either, but I¡¯m sure that her personality has changed so much now. Something that I can¡¯t imagine must have happened when she first entered the Gu family five years ago. Otherwise, a strong girl like her wouldn¡¯t have become so rebellious.¡±Yi Zeyang said,¡± However, I only mentioned that she was in the Yi family for more than ten years when she was young. The most serious incident for Anhao was the kidnapping incident when she was five years old. At that time, the psychiatrist diagnosed that she had various psychological problems. Also, she suffered from a phobia of dark confined spaces.¡± Hearing the last sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows immediately raised a trace of suspicion. At the same time, the two of them had already walked out of the elevator to the first floor, but he suddenly turned around and walked back to the elevator. Seeing his sudden change in expression and actions, Yi Zeyang subconsciously turned around.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Sixth floor.¡± Zuo Hancheng said in a deep voice. ¡°Sixth floor?¡± Yi Zeyang frowned. When they were on the sixth floor, the two of them had looked outside every office, but there was no sign of Anhao. However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly had such a confident expression, especially when he saw the coldness in his eyes. Yi Zeyang walked in and pressed 6 on the elevator until the door closed. ¡°If you were Han Ru and wanted to stop Anhao from sitting with you for the exam, but you couldn¡¯t make her disappear from this world, what would you do to deal with her?¡±Zuo Hancheng said as the elevator doors closed. Yi Zeyang immediately frowned.¡± Make her disappear temporarily. Lock her up somewhere, or¡­ At this point, his expression stiffened.¡±Sixth floor? That sealed washroom!¡± When the elevator stopped at the sixth floor, Chunchun and Huang Amao returned to the elevator because they couldn¡¯t find Anhao. They went up to the sixth floor to look for them. Just as they reached the sixth floor, they saw President Zuo and Professor Yi coming out of the elevator. Chunchun and Huang Amao quickly walked over.¡± We didn¡¯t find Anhao. The other two teaching buildings were basically classrooms. They were very spacious and bright. One could see all the way at a glance. There was no sign of Anhao at all.¡± After walking out of the elevator, Zuo Hancheng immediately rushed to the direction of the darkest washroom at the end of the sixth floor. Seeing President Zuo and Professor Yi walking over with a dark expression, Chunchun and Huang Amao looked over and quickly followed.¡±That washroom was haunted a few years ago. Very few people go there.¡± Hearing their words, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be even more certain and quickened his pace. Seeing that the two adults seemed to think that there was something wrong with the washroom, Chunchun and Huang Amao asked suspiciously, ¡°¡±That¡¯s not right. If Anhao was really on this floor, she would have heard us and called for help if we were talking so loudly here. However, it¡¯s very quiet here.¡± This was also a problem that Zuo Hancheng and Yi Zeyang had overlooked at the beginning. If Anhao was awake, she would definitely call for help. ¡°She has a phobia of darkness and confined space.¡±¡±If she was really locked up in some dark place for more than eight hours¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold. The result is obvious.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, they had already walked to the door of the bathroom on the sixth floor. Just as Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, his eyes suddenly froze and he looked down at the ground. Under the closed door of the washroom, a torn page peeked out from the gap between the floor and the door. There were two lines of words written on the page. It was Anhao¡¯s handwriting. She had tried many ways to ask for help, but no one had passed by in the afternoon. No one had seen the note she had pushed out through the crack in the door. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold the moment he saw the paper and the words. His cold voice seemed to come out of his teeth.¡±Find the key!¡± The door of this washroom was sealed with metal. One could vaguely see the runes carved on the metal door at the four corners of the door. Clearly, this washroom had been sealed by the school because of a ghost. The school had also tried to tamper with the door when the students did not know about it. Therefore, this door was sealed too well. It completely blocked the signal network, and it was not an ordinary door that could be easily kicked open. ¡°This is the Student Union¡¯s common floor. Most of the keys are in the Student Union Office.¡±As Yi Zeyang spoke, he turned to look in the direction of the Student Union office.¡±¡±Chunchun, Huang Mao, come with me to find the key..¡± Chapter 148 - Chapter 148: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (2) Chapter 148: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (2) Translator: 549690339 Yi Zeyang brought Chunchun and Huang Mao away to look for the keys. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand down and down. He turned around and picked up the book that had been handed out from the crack in the door. He looked at Gu Anhao¡¯s elegant handwriting, the faint trembling between her brush and ink, and the exclamation mark that had been heavily drawn on it. She had thought of many ways to ask for help, but none of them worked. In the end, she had to use such a weak method to tear the page off and hand it out through the crack in the door. He raised his hand and placed it on the door. He couldn¡¯t feel the temperature or the person inside through the door. This was the first time Zuo Hancheng had experienced this kind of heart-wrenching feeling and the feeling that he was about to walk on the edge of anger. He was unable to express it in words. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth again, he would curse. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold it in and immediately bury the three generations of the Han family into the ground. With Yi Zeyang¡¯s participation, the search for the key was very fast. Chunchun had already rushed over with the key she had found. ¡®¡±¡®1 found it, I found it. President Zuo, the spare key to the washroom is in the drawer of the student union desk.¡± Zuo Hancheng took the key and opened the door. The moment he pushed the door open, he felt that there was an obstruction in the door, and he could not open the door immediately. He immediately thought of a possibility, so he opened the door gently and slowly. It was dark in the washroom, and the sound of water dripping from the sink not far away was even more terrifying in the dark. Chunchun didn¡¯t dare to go in. She only waited outside, hoping that nothing would happen to Anhao. Yi Zeyang had already rushed over. When he saw that Zuo Hancheng had already opened the door, he walked forward and turned on the light switch outside the door. The washroom was instantly lit up. Zuo Hancheng pushed open the door and looked down to see a pair of familiar sneakers. He took a step forward and turned his head to see Anhao leaning against the door, motionless on the ground. ¡°Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart, which was already tensed up, broke instantly. He leaned over and helped her sit up. However, just as he was about to carry Anhao up by the waist, Anhao, who had been unconscious for an unknown period of time, suddenly frowned. She seemed to be in pain somewhere and instinctively frowned. Her pale face was covered in fine sweat, and her body was completely drenched in sweat. It was as if she had been soaked in water. Panic, sweating, suffocation, and fainting were all obvious symptoms of claustrophobia. The moment he saw Zuo Hancheng carrying Anhao up, Yi Zeyang frowned.¡±¡±lt¡¯s really here!¡± ¡°Anhao.¡± Zuo Hancheng held her in his arms and leaned against her nose to test her breathing, temperature, and condition. At the same time, he raised his hand and gently patted her face.¡±¡±Wake up, Anhao.¡± ¡°Heavens!¡± When Huang Amao and Chunchun entered the door and saw this scene, they were filled with shock. They looked up at everything in the bathroom.¡±Oh my god, why is Anhao locked up in this damn place? It couldn¡¯t be that the whole day had been spent in the gate!¡± Yi Zeyang lowered his head at the same time. She raised her hand and was about to press Anhao¡¯s hand on the middle part of the tiger¡¯s mouth in an attempt to wake her up. As soon as he held her hand, Anhao, who was unconscious, suddenly trembled in pain. She curled up in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and mumbled softly,¡±¡±lt hurts¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng and Yi Zeyang looked at each other. Yi Zeyang slowly pulled up the sleeve on Anhao¡¯s arm. When he saw the large bruise on her arm, his heart ached so much that his eyebrows almost formed a knot. At the same time, he looked up at Anhao¡¯s unconscious state and said in a low voice, ¡°Why are you injured?¡± Zuo Hancheng felt as if she was avoiding his hand when he put it on her back. She kept shrinking into his embrace and turned her collar backward. From the back of Anhao¡¯s neck to her back, there was a large patch of purple blood that pierced into everyone¡¯s eyes. While everyone was still in shock, Zuo Hancheng did not say another word. He picked her up by the waist and quickly walked out of the bathroom towards the elevator. Yi Zeyang, who was shocked by the injury on Anhao¡¯s neck, got up and quickly chased after her. All his restraint disappeared the moment he saw how serious her injury was. The elevator door was about to close, and Yi Zeyang stepped forward to press the door shut. He looked coldly at Zuo Hancheng, who was carrying Anhao,¡±¡±Give her to me!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was as cold as a glacier. When he saw Yi Zeyang raise his hand to stop the elevator door from closing, his eyes were already burning with anger. ¡°Yi Zeyang, take your hand away!¡± Knowing that sending Anhao to the hospital as soon as possible was the most important thing now, Yi Zeyang let go of the elevator door and entered the elevator in a flash. He reached out and was about to carry Anhao from his arms. Zuo Hancheng dodged his hand slightly and held Anhao firmly in his arms. His hands were carefully placed behind her back, trying not to touch the wound on her back. However, when he turned around, Anhao, who was leaning weakly in his arms, suddenly leaned back as if she had completely lost consciousness. Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes were about to spit fire,¡¯¡± Zuo Hancheng, in your eyes, Anhao is just a simple child, but she is very important to me. Please don¡¯t restrict her freedom anymore. Please, give her to me!¡± Please, give her to me. Yi Zeyang emphasized these words. ¡°Young Master Yi seems to be looking at it from the wrong angle.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was indifferent.¡± Since I¡¯ve already made her my wife, I¡¯ve never treated her as a so-called child. The relationship between you and her was nothing more than a childhood experience. It doesn¡¯t mean that I have to hand over my wife to you at this time.¡± ¡°Do you really want to marry her?¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s expression was cold.¡± To marry someone who hasn¡¯t even graduated from high school¡­ ¡°She¡¯s an adult. Not graduating from high school is not an obstacle in our marriage. Please look at the problem from a rational point of view.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very rational. If I wasn¡¯t, I would have taken her away long ago.¡±Yi Zeyang¡¯s expression turned ugly.¡± I respect Anhao¡¯s choice. I have waited until now and endured until now. However, she has been hurt time and time again in front of me. Zuo Hancheng, if you are unable to protect her under your wings, I beg you to let her go.¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold. Where are you taking my wife?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Yi Zeyang saw that he completely ignored the second half of his sentence and sneered,¡±¡±As long as she¡¯s willing to follow me, anywhere in the world will be her home. If it wasn¡¯t for the changes in the past five years, Anhao would still be an innocent little girl who likes to follow me around, and not the rebellious girl she is now.¡± ¡°There are no ifs in this world.¡¯¡±¡® Yi Zeyang, she lost you five years ago,¡± Zuo Hancheng said indifferently.¡± You never showed up at any of the crossroads. What right do you have to stand before me and ask me to return her to you?¡±¡± ¡°President Zuo, you don¡¯t love her. Please let her go. This is not a reason, but please show mercy to Anhao.¡± ¡°Who told you that I don¡¯t love you?¡± Chapter 149 - Chapter 149: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (3) Chapter 149: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Who told you that I don¡¯t love you?¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Yi Zeyang frowned.¡±¡±President Zuo, now is not the time to joke around.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not joking.¡± Zuo Hancheng said seriously, ¡°I don¡¯t seem to be a person who likes to joke. In the industry, Young Master Yi should know Zuo¡¯s character very well.¡±¡® The elevator door suddenly opened with a ¡± ding ¡°. Zuo Hancheng did not look at him again and walked out of the elevator with Anhao in his arms. Yi Zeyang saw Qi Weiran standing outside the school building. In order to avoid causing too many misunderstandings about Anhao, he did not continue to follow her. However, just as Zuo Hancheng was about to carry Anhao out of the school building, he suddenly said,¡± ¡°Many years ago, there was a beautiful love story in Los Angeles. The international CEO of Shengling Group had once spent a huge sum of money to book hundreds of helicopters to celebrate his girlfriend¡¯s birthday. The helicopters sprayed colorful mist over the bustling downtown area of Los Angeles to write their love, including the millions of carrier pigeons in Los Angeles that day, shocking everyone¡¯s eyes.¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks. ¡® This event could not even be compared to the National Day anniversary ceremony of the United States of America. The big hand had once caused a sensation in the United States. This international president of Shengling Group had left a deep impression on the Americans. Everyone said that Zuo Hancheng of Shengling Group and that woman named Rong Xue were destined to be entangled for life.¡± ¡°But five years ago, Shengling Group mysteriously uprooted itself in the American business world and invaded China¡¯s commercial territory in a unique manner. This is something that everyone in the industry is curious about, but there are also many people who speculate that Zuo Hancheng left the United States because of Rongxue. He loved that woman too deeply, and in the end, he was hurt too deeply¡­¡¯ ¡°But in this world, there is only love and hate. Hate is the combination of love. If Rongxue is still an indispensable existence in your world, please let go of Anhao.¡± Yi Zeyang slowly walked forward and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent side profile.¡±¡±Although Anhao looks rebellious on the surface, her heart is too pure. She can¡¯t bear the pain you¡¯ve caused her.¡± Zuo Hancheng only paused for a few seconds. There was no emotion in his eyes. His expression was cold and his voice was light.¡±Young Master Yi, do you know what is truly indispensable?¡± Yi Zeyang looked at him coldly without saying a word. ¡°Husband and wife are indispensable existences for each other. Anhao is my wife, now and in the future.¡±Zuo Hancheng turned to look at him. His eyes were as clear as a spring, and his voice was as clear as ice.¡±Young Master Yi, the most important thing for a person is to see where you stand. Between Gu Anhao and me, you are the one who is truly unqualified!¡± ¡°Your fianc¨¦e is looking at you.¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he glanced at a figure standing in the crowd outside the school. His thin lips curled up coldly as he carried Anhao, who was cold all over, out. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°What happened to Gu Anhao?¡± ¡°Why was he carried out? What was going on? Is she really still in school?¡± The discussions around them continued, and the principal had already rushed over. When he saw Zuo Hancheng carrying Anhao out and saw Anhao¡¯s pale and unconscious face, he was so scared that his legs went weak. He quickly walked over and said, ¡°¡±President Zuo, this¡­This¡­ ¡°You better pray that she¡¯s fine!¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t waste any words on him and carried Anhao out of the crowd. The hospital- Anhao was still unconscious. The doctor had tried many ways to wake her up but failed. For the time being, he could only treat her injuries properly. When Anhao was flipped over and the clothes on her back were taken off, the shocking blood clots and marks on her back pierced into everyone¡¯s eyes. The doctor exclaimed in surprise,¡±God, how could this girl be so seriously injured? It looked like he had been hit by something heavy. What exactly had he been hit by?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to take an X-ray.¡± Zuo Hancheng ordered solemnly. The doctor didn¡¯t dare to say anything more and immediately called the nurse in to help Anhao change into a light hospital gown. She was pushed to the floor with all kinds of professional medical equipment. Two hours later, the results of the diagnosis were handed to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng had never been so upset when he read the contents of the diagnosis. Gu Anhao had really dealt a heavy blow to his calmness. The doctors and nurses in the hospital did not dare to go forward after sending the diagnosis report because President Zuo seemed to be full of killing intent. Although he did not say much, from his expression, it seemed that no matter who dared to offend him, he could instantly turn this person into ashes. However, the contents of the diagnosis were indeed a little surprising. Miss Gu looked very young. How could she suddenly suffer such an injury? From all the scans, her spine and cervical spine were severely injured. The most fatal part was her cervical spine. If the other party had been more ruthless when she was injured, she might have died instantly. Human life was sometimes so fragile, especially if the area behind the cervical vertebra was injured, it was easy to affect the brain nerves, and the consequences were unimaginable. Miss Gu was already considered lucky. Her brain was not injured, but because her cervical spine was too severely injured, she had been unconscious for such a long time. No matter what method she used, she could not wake up. He estimated that she would be unconscious for at least three to five days. This was already the best prediction. If Miss Gu¡¯s condition worsened, she might become a vegetable from then on. ¡°Mr. Zuo, we need to send Miss Gu to the consultation room for further treatment.¡±The doctor walked through the door and said softly, not daring to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. After another hour, the consultation room was still closed. Because of Zuo Hancheng, the director had specially invited a few medical experts who were closest to the consultation room. They had been in the consultation room for a long time. Whether Gu Anhao¡¯s condition would really deteriorate into a vegetative state still needed to be studied. Moreover, for a vicious blow to her cervical spine, whether her joints had suffered any other injuries still needed to be observed for a few hours. Zuo Hancheng stood at the end of the consultation room, his phone ringing non-stop. A call from a different person Most of them were from the company, Lin Qing and Mobai, and the vice president who had already rushed to S City. The call was not picked up. At this moment, a nurse came out of the consultation room and handed him a test document.¡±Mr. Zuo, Miss Gu¡¯s condition needs to be tested. Please sign your name on the family member column. After the test results are out in three hours, you can send her back to the ward.¡± Zuo Hancheng took the test report and read through the contents. When he saw the words ¡± vegetative state ¡± on it again, he almost lost control and crushed the pen in his hand. When the nurse was so nervous that he did not know how to urge her, he quickly signed it. However, after the nurse left, he frowned and could not calm down for a long time.. Chapter 150 - Chapter 150: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (4) Chapter 150: Heavily Injured, Unconscious (4) Translator: 549690339 Three hours later. Anhao was pushed out of the consultation room. The doctor¡¯s face was originally a little worried, but now it was gone. ¡°Mr. Zuo, in the few hours of consultation, Miss Gu woke up twice. Although it was only a few minutes each time, her speech was clear and her brain was not affected too much. The more serious thing now is that her cervical spine has been slightly displaced due to the impact of the heavy object. She needs to wear a cervical spine treatment device to correct it for a few days.¡± Anhao was still unconscious. When she was pushed out, her face was still pale and bloodless. As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. He lowered his gaze and saw that Anhao¡¯s neck was wearing a treatment device to correct her cervical spine. He raised his hand and touched her face. Her skin was still cold and there were no signs of her waking up. ¡°Mr. Zuo, don¡¯t worry. These are all experts from the province. They have confirmed that Miss Gu¡¯s two awakenings were normal. It¡¯s just that she suffered a serious mental shock today, accompanied by panic and palpitations. There¡¯s a saying in ancient medicine that ¡®fire attacks the heart¡¯. All of this led to her deep coma and various symptoms. However, according to her external injuries, other than the need to correct her cervical spine and temporarily recuperate, there¡¯s nothing else. All the previous speculations about her being in a vegetative state were just the result of her condition worsening, but Miss Gu¡¯s condition was very optimistic and would not worsen.¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded slightly when he saw the specialist doctors and the hospital director so certain that Anhao would not have any other problems.¡±¡±lt¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± The director smiled and continued,¡± Mr. Zuo, after you brought Miss Gu here today, I suggest that you hire a psychiatrist for her while she is recuperating. Although she has woken up twice, her speech is clear, and her thoughts are clear, her emotions are very unstable, and her heart rate is too fast. This is not good for her health.¡± Psychiatrist? Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows and did not say anything. He accompanied the doctors and nurses to send Anhao back to the ward. It was late at night. Anhao woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, it was still pitch-black in front of her. This made her think that she was still in that terrible dream. She narrowed her eyes and looked around. She saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the window of the ward. She did not know who he was talking to, but he hung up after a few words. Her mind was in a mess, and her ears were buzzing. She could not hear clearly, but she could vaguely hear that his tone did not sound good. Zuo Hancheng had just put down the phone when he turned around and saw Anhao wearing a treatment device to correct the displacement of her cervical spine. Her neck was stiff and she did not dare to move. Her eyes were narrowed into slits, and she slowly raised her hand like a silent ghost, pointing it in his direction. The doctor said that she would wake up at noon tomorrow at the latest. He did not expect her to wake up so soon. It was only past eleven at night. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± He walked over and held her hand when she raised her hand.¡±¡±Lie down and don¡¯t move. Tell me if you want anything.¡± Anhao did not know why Zuo Hancheng had suddenly returned. Wasn¡¯t he in S City? Didn¡¯t he ignore her? Didn¡¯t he dislike her and never want to see her again? When she looked at him just now, she thought that she was still in a muddled dream and had not woken up. That was why she raised her hand and stretched in his direction, wanting to touch the shadow¡­ She did not expect him to suddenly walk over and grab her hand. The warmth from his hand made her heart tighten. She then realized that this was real. It was the real Zuo Hancheng, not a dream. She immediately wanted to pull her hand back, but she did not expect Zuo Hancheng to hold her hand so tightly. She could not pull her hand away and could only look at his expression when he was staring at her. She subconsciously felt that he wanted to scold her, but she felt wronged. She did not expect this, and she did not want to be so worrisome all the time. ¡°I, I want to drink water.¡± Seeing that he was holding her and letting go, Anhao was a little nervous. She could only awkwardly lick her dry lips and find a suitable excuse. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand as soon as she finished speaking. He turned around to turn on the lights in the ward and went to get her some water. After a while, he came over with a cup of water. He tasted the temperature of the water in the cup and made sure it was just right before he went to the bed. He helped Anhao up on the bed and placed the cup by her mouth.¡±Drink some first. I¡¯ll get someone to buy some straws later.¡± ¡°No, I can still move. I don¡¯t need a straw.¡±Anhao felt a lot of pain when she was helped up, but she didn¡¯t make a sound. She knew where she was hurting, and she also remembered where the two boys had hit her with their school bags. Anyway, she was awake now, and she felt that her life was probably saved. She drank the water and felt that it was neither too hot nor too cold. This was the first time she was so surprised by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attentiveness. Of course, she was even more surprised by her own luck. She thought that she would die there today. She didn¡¯t want to talk about what happened in that dark room anymore. Anyway, she had woken up. To her, it was a kind of rebirth. She didn¡¯t care about the fear and suffocation at that time, nor did she care about the helplessness and despair at that time. Seeing Anhao drinking the water quietly without a word of complaint, she lowered her eyes and said hoarsely, ¡®¡±¡®Thank you.¡± Zuo Hancheng froze and placed her back on the bed. He then placed the glass of water on the cabinet beside her. Seeing that Anhao was calm and did not cry or make a fuss, he suspected that she was really too agitated and had become demented. ¡°Do you have claustrophobia?¡± He sat by the bed and looked into her eyes as he asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao answered straightforwardly. Seeing her straightforward attitude, Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly.¡±¡±Do you need a psychiatrist now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± It was still a straightforward answer. It didn¡¯t seem like there was a problem, but this calmness was enough to indicate that there was something wrong with her. ¡°Anhao, I¡¯ll settle the matter between the Han family and A High. Since it¡¯s already come to this, there¡¯s no need for you to continue putting on a brave front in front of me. Let the psychiatrist come over to help you relieve the worries and stress in your heart. It¡¯s good for your health and recovery.¡± Anhao squeezed out a smile, but her smile was a little pale.¡±At that time, I was indeed very afraid and desperate. I don¡¯t even know how I fell to the ground, but I¡¯m fine now. Don¡¯t you think I¡¯m fine?¡± She raised her hand and shook it.¡±My arm doesn¡¯t hurt as much anymore. Look, I can still move my arm.¡± Seeing the forced smile on her face, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and pressed her arm onto the bed.. Chapter 151 - Chapter 151: Sleeping With You Every Day (1) Chapter 151: Sleeping With You Every Day (1) Translator: 549690339 Seeing the forced smile on her face, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and pressed her arm onto the bed. Anhao immediately hissed,¡±¡±Ah, be gentle!¡± ¡°Do you know how painful it is?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a cold expression. He held her naughty hands on both sides of her body and stopped her from moving. At the same time, he pressed the beeper on the bed when Anhao pouted. When he heard the nurse¡¯s question through the call device, he said calmly, ¡°She¡¯s awake. Call the doctor over.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned off the call device and looked at Anhao, who was staring at him with a stiff gaze.¡±¡±What exactly happened?¡± Anhao avoided his gaze.¡± It¡¯s nothing. I was careless at that time. I went to the sixth floor of the teaching building without investigating the situation. In the end, I accidentally fell into Han Ru¡¯s trap.¡± ¡°The mastermind is Han Ru?¡± Anhao hummed softly. ¡°Was there anyone else who was involved in this incident at the time?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Tell me their names and classes.¡± Anhao paused and turned to look at him.¡±¡±What are you doing¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not appropriate to talk about things that are too bloody. You just have to tell me the names of those people.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was cold. Anhao blinked. Of course, she wanted to take revenge, but after thinking about it, she said softly, ¡°Doesn¡¯t Han Ru have relatives in the military? If you plan to make a move against the Han family, will it affect you¡­¡± ¡°You almost lost your life, yet you still have the mood to worry so much while lying here? Don¡¯t you want revenge?¡± ¡°Of course I want revenge!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly lit up.¡±¡±l almost hit the wall and committed suicide in that bathroom. Fortunately, this lady¡¯s willpower is strong enough! Otherwise, he would probably be lying in the morgue now! How could I not take revenge for such a deep hatred!¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed, but his smile did not reach his eyes.¡±You still find an opportunity to boast at a time like this. Your heart is really big.¡± ¡°What else can I do¡­ Although I want to take revenge, I can do it myself. You¡¯d better not interfere. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that your relationship with the domestic military¡­¡± ¡°Do it yourself?¡± Zuo Hancheng sneered. When Anhao looked at him stiffly, he scolded her coldly,¡±¡±Lie down and rest. Don¡¯t let me hear from the doctor that you¡¯re running around in the hospital.¡± After saying that, he picked up the phone and walked out. As he walked out of the ward, the door opened and two doctors and two nurses walked in. When they saw that she was awake, they walked towards her with happy faces. ¡°Hey, Zuo Hancheng, what if I want to go to the toilet? I¡¯m already awake. You can¡¯t just let me settle it on the bed!¡± Anhao shouted at the door. The doctors and nurses who had already walked to the bedside twitched their faces. This devilish brat¡¯s combat strength was a little too strong. He could actually make such a high-decibel sound after just surviving. Tsk tsk, it could be seen from this that the woman¡¯s bones were so unique. If she was in ancient times, she would definitely be an expert! ¡°President Zuo, A High School has already finished their final exams. The students on campus are already preparing for the holidays. There¡¯s not much anyone in the school these two days. The principal has already been dismissed by the education department and brought to the police station for investigation.¡± MO Bai sat in the car and reported the progress of the two days regarding the time when Gu Anhao was attacked. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zuo Hancheng sitting quietly in the back of the car. His cold gaze was reading the information about the Han family¡¯s business in his hand, including the information about the connections in the military and political circles related to the Han family. Mobai thought for a moment and continued,¡± The Han family already knows about this. They said that the incident was caused by a fight between the two children. They hope that the situation won¡¯t escalate. They accept a face-to-face apology or compensation, but they temporarily locked Han Ru at home and didn¡¯t let her out. I suspect that they have already guessed that we won¡¯t let this matter rest and have already started preparing to send Han Ru away.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked away from the documents in his hands and glanced at Mobai. ¡°I just got some news from the city hall. The Han family has been handling Han Ru¡¯s passport and other related documents since yesterday afternoon.¡± ¡°As expected, he planned to let her escape first.¡±Zuo Hancheng placed the documents in his hands heavily on the leather chair beside him.¡±¡±lf their ultimate goal is clear, the Han family will make a big move in the next two days. Keep an eye on them and tell me immediately if there are any changes. Also, keep a close eye on the airport and any exit checkpoints.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Mobai said softly,¡± Oh right, there are also Han Ru¡¯s helpers who were involved in this incident. There are three female students and two male students. The female students have been taken to the police station, and the other two male students are on the run. However, the police have found their current hiding place. They will be brought back to the police station before eight tonight.¡± ¡°Hurry up and don¡¯t let any of them go.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained calm, but his voice was extremely cold. MO Baibai nodded his head.¡± This matter is indeed serious. It is a typical example of the school assault case in City A. I have already informed the Education Bureau and the police. I will not let this matter go so easily. Even if the Han family intends to use the military to suppress this matter, it will not be easy. ¡®¡±¡® Ever since Gu Anhao¡¯s accident, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression had not been very good. Mobai also knew what was most important at this time, so he tried his best to put aside many things, big and small, and did not take up President Zuo¡¯s time. However, there was one thing¡­ He hesitated for a moment and said softly,¡± President Zuo, the vice president has gone to S City to discuss the contract. However, they have requested that if you must reject the contract, you must go personally. Otherwise¡­¡± The management office in S City is not easy to handle because the United States is putting pressure on them. They can¡¯t handle it, so they can only ask you to come forward.¡¯ ¡°If they want to wait, let them continue to wait. The longer the contract drags on, the more losses they will suffer.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was clear. ¡°The loss is indeed their problem, but they have been wanting to call you to find out what you mean¡­After all, this involves not only the cooperation between the companies, but also your past relationship problems. I can¡¯t make a decision on this, so President Zuo, look at this matter¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with making decisions. To me, everything is just business.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the hospital building beside him.¡±¡±My only private matter is here.¡± Mobai paused for a moment. After seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude towards S City, he finally understood what to do. He nodded and said,¡±¡±I understand..¡± Chapter 152 - Chapter 152: Sleep With You Every Day (2) Chapter 152: Sleep With You Every Day (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was lying motionless on the bed with the cervical spine treatment device. However, ever since she woke up, she had been lying upright in bed for three whole days. She really felt that all the bones in her body were about to stiffen. She struggled to move her body and slowly turned her head to look at the nurse who was removing the needle from her wrist. She grinned and said,¡±Nurse, can I sit up now?¡± Unexpectedly, although the head nurse was beautiful, she was completely numb to her mischievous smile. She replied expressionlessly, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t the doctor say that my cervical vertebrae were only slightly displaced? It¡¯s not like my entire body is paralyzed. I don¡¯t have to lie like this forever, right?¡± ¡°The doctor said that you have to maintain this position for at least three days for the slightly displaced suture to return to its original healthy state.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been awake for three days. I must have worn it for at least a day when I was still unconscious. Can you help me ask the attending doctor if I can take off this treatment device?¡± The nurse looked at her for a while and saw that she really seemed to be in pain. However, she did not say anything and turned around to leave. Two hours later, the attending doctor walked into the ward and took off the medical device on Anhao¡¯s neck to examine her. Finally, he said, ¡± ¡°Miss Gu, from now on, you have to wear this treatment device for more than eight hours a day, but you don¡¯t have to wear it 24 hours a day.¡± ¡°You can choose to wear it during the day and take it off when you sleep at night. You have to keep it like this for about half a month.¡± ¡°In other words, I can finally turn over and sleep! ¡°Anhao¡¯s eyes lit up with excitement. Just then, Zuo Hancheng opened the door of the ward and walked in. He heard Anhao¡¯s excited voice and saw her expression. He asked the doctor,¡¯¡±¡®Can I take it off now?¡± When the attending doctor saw him, he turned around and politely and respectfully told him the details of the situation. In the end, the doctor placed the cervical spine treatment device by the bedside and left after instructing Anhao on some things to take note of. Anhao immediately sat up and took two deep breaths.¡±¡±Aiya, I can finally move¡­¡± ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t hurt your neck again.¡±Zuo Hancheng walked over. Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± As she spoke, she moved her arms again.¡±Not bad, not bad. My arm doesn¡¯t hurt as much as it did at first. I feel like I can be discharged soon.¡± ¡°Yes, he can be discharged.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly and said,¡±¡±As long as you can bear to walk around the house like a mole with this treatment device every day and take care of yourself, I can let you leave the hospital.¡± ¡°Well, look, the doctor has already told you that I can be discharged. If I didn¡¯t say so, you would definitely let me stay here for a few more days!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± So what if I look like a mole? It¡¯s better than smelling the disinfectant in the hospital every day, right?¡±¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have any objections, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Then let¡¯s be discharged! I have arms and legs, and I don¡¯t have any fractures! I can definitely take care of myself!¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The next day, Anhao tasted the price of her boasting. In the evening, a black Bentley was parked outside the door of the Gilt View Garden. Zuo Yue walked out leisurely with an apple in her mouth. She looked around and saw a strange mole slowly moving out of the car. Its movements were slow and it looked like it was having a hard time. Zuo Hancheng got out of the car. He could not stand it anymore and reached out to help her. Anhao finally got out of the car smoothly. She finally got out of the car, but she had to use both hands to hold the treatment device on her neck to avoid hurting her shoulders. However, she could not see the road under her feet clearly with her head raised. Just as she took a step forward, she stumbled because she bumped into the stone edge of the lawn next to her. ¡°That¡­¡± Anhao turned around and looked up at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Help me, I can¡¯t see the way¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you can take care of yourself after you¡¯re discharged? He couldn¡¯t even walk, how could he take care of himself?¡±Zuo Hancheng was clearly trying to let her see the truth. He did not reach out his hand and stood at the side with one hand in his pocket. His handsome eyebrows were raised slightly. Anhao rolled her eyes at him. She could tell that he was deliberately making her suffer. He was inhumane! She turned around and saw Zuo Yue in the courtyard, who was holding an apple in her mouth with a surprised expression. She wanted to extend her hand to greet her, but her neck was so sore that she could not turn it all around. She could only maintain a strange posture and grin at Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. She raised her hand and waved at her.¡±Hi . Hey¡­¡± Zuo Yue thought that the two of them were really giving her the cold shoulder and rejecting her. The two of them actually did not come back for a few days in a row. However, when they finally came back, it had actually turned into such a scene. Did this, this, this, this Gu Anhao go for her exam, or did she go to Japan to play sumo wrestling? Why did he look so scarred? He had thought that Zuo Yue would have some benevolence and would come over to help him when she saw his current state. However, Zuo Yue only took a bite of the apple slowly and stood there looking at them with a smile. She was indifferent. Anhao was furious. She put down her hand and let out a long sigh. She turned around and glared at Zuo Hancheng angrily.¡±l can only look up. This thing is blocking my vision and I can¡¯t see the road under my feet. This doesn¡¯t conflict with whether I can take care of myself or not.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not make things difficult for her. He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her hand with his other hand as he helped her into the room. Zuo Yue was stunned. When Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked through the door in front of her, Zuo Yue chewed on the apple in her mouth and quickly followed them in. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Gu Anhao standing by the sofa with a pained expression on her face.¡±Ahhh, slow down, slow down¡­ Ah¡­ It hurts¡­lt hurts¡­¡± ¡°Puff!¡± Zuo Yue almost spat out the apple in her mouth. If she had not seen the scene in front of her with her own eyes, she would have thought that it was some R-rated scene just by listening to it. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Zuo Yue leaned forward and clicked her tongue.¡¯¡±¡®How come you¡¯re so happy after not coming back for a few days? Brother, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re prone to domestic violence? How did she become like this?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would leave in a week?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly. Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± Zuo Yue choked and immediately glared at him.¡¯¡±¡®How can you be someone¡¯s brother? The people my parents sent from the United States had something to do when they were transferring. They had to wait another two or three days before they could pick me up. I¡¯ll stay here for another two or three days.. Look at your expression, it¡¯s as if you can¡¯t wait for me to disappear right now! You despise me so much! I¡¯m your biological sister! Kissed!¡± Chapter 153 - Chapter 153: Sleep With You Every Day (3) Chapter 153: Sleep With You Every Day (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng glanced at her leisurely eating an apple.¡±¡±Go and take out everything in the car.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips unwillingly, but she still obediently turned around and went out to get her things. Anhao sat on the sofa. She could only sit upright because she had something on her neck. It was not comfortable at all. She looked at Zuo Hancheng aggrievedly.¡±¡±Are you really not going to help me? So let me sit in this place?¡± ¡°There are professional high-level nurses in the hospital. You don¡¯t want them, and now you¡¯re sitting here regretting it?¡± Anhao raised her hand and scratched her forehead.¡± This plan didn¡¯t change as quickly as I did. Who knew that this thing would be so inconvenient? I didn¡¯t feel so inconvenient in the hospital before¡­¡± As she spoke, she glanced at him guiltily.¡±¡±l don¡¯t have to eat by myself every day. I have someone to feed me. I¡¯m so happy.¡± ¡°So you think I¡¯ll feed you after you come back?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t dare to think about it.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and turned her head to whisper,¡±¡±You clearly gave me the cold shoulder a few days ago. How could I dare to expect you to take care of me? Besides, I¡¯m just a little troublesome when I¡¯m eating and walking. Other than that, I can be a quiet beautiful girl sitting on the sofa and watching TV obediently. I basically won¡¯t trouble anyone.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the quiet and beautiful girl on the sofa.¡±¡±When have I ever neglected you?¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡±¡±l was the one who was injured, not you. Don¡¯t pretend to have amnesia! In the few days before my exams, you were clearly giving me the cold shoulder!¡± ¡± You asked me to sleep alone,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± I¡¯m giving you the cold shoulder if I fulfill your request?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°That¡¯s different! You won¡¯t let me go to your company for tuition, and you even¡­¡± ¡°Every time I go to the company for tutoring, you look bitter. I¡¯m helping you.¡± ¡°..¡±What he said was obviously unreasonable, but Anhao realized that she was the one who was unreasonable in the end. She stared at him strangely.¡±You ignored me, distanced yourself from me, and didn¡¯t tell me that you were going to S City on a business trip. Anyway, it¡¯s a fact that you ignored me!¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped talking and looked at her. Anhao looked at him righteously.¡± Don¡¯t think that you can brush this off so easily just because you keep silent. What right do you have to abuse me with cold violence?!¡± Let me tell you, cold violence is considered a form of abuse now! Also, the reason why I¡¯m injured like this is because of you!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. He did not argue with her, but his smile was a little unfathomable. ¡°Do you know about the butterfly effect? If you didn¡¯t give me the cold shoulder, I wouldn¡¯t be in such a bad mood. I wouldn¡¯t have been so distracted that I didn¡¯t even notice Han Rut s obvious trap and ended up like this!¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded seriously as if he was repenting. Then, he said with a serious expression,¡± ¡°In the future, if I sleep with you every day, will your mood be much better?¡± ¡°Since you want to go to Shengling Group for tuition so much, I can¡¯t discourage you. Although you missed the final exam now, there¡¯s still half a year before the college entrance exam that you really have to face. You can take advantage of these two months of vacation to tutor and experience life in the company.¡± ¡± Although I¡¯m the person-in-charge of the company and it¡¯s unfair for me to bring you into the company,¡± Zuo Hancheng said as if he was in a difficult position,¡± I think I can only do this to make you happy.¡± ¡® Anhao opened her mouth but couldn¡¯t speak for a long time.¡¯¡±¡®No, no, no. No¡­¡± ¡® In the future, I, your husband, will never let you stay alone in the bedroom,¡± Zuo Hancheng said.¡± I promise to sleep with you every day.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± Anhao gritted her teeth and glared at him. She had a huge cervical spine treatment Gu Yi on her neck, so she completely suppressed her anger. She looked a little funny. ¡°Don¡¯t twist the truth, and you can¡¯t use such a method to achieve your shameless goal!¡± she said angrily.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a half-smile.¡±¡±Sleeping with you is shameless, not sleeping with you is cold. Gu Anhao, what do you want?¡± Anhao was stunned. She realized that her sharp tongue was useless in front of Zuo Hancheng. She gritted her teeth and was filled with hatred.¡± You¡¯ve neglected me for so many days, and now it¡¯s over. I don¡¯t even know the reason. Am I wronged? Now, you¡¯re actually taking advantage of me verbally!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and suddenly said seriously, ¡°¡±lf a woman suddenly changes her emotions in front of a man and becomes more sensitive, what does it mean?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment. She looked at the teasing expression on his handsome face. After a long time, her face suddenly turned hot. She wished she could just crawl into the sofa and stop talking about this topic. However, the big thing on her neck was too much of a hindrance. It would be difficult for her to even lie down, let alone crawl into the sofa! Just as Anhao was about to stop talking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and walked slowly to her back to answer the call. However, when Anhao walked past the sofa, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her angry expression. He said softly, ¡°I¡¯m not ignoring you. It¡¯s just that you reminded me of something the other day. I need some time and space to solve it.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before turning her head to look at him with some difficulty.¡±¡±Why should I remind you?¡± His phone was still ringing. He raised his eyebrows slightly and did not answer her. He picked up his phone and went to the French window to answer the call. Anhao was baffled. She turned around and looked out of the window. She saw Zuo Yue looking down at the small bag she took out from the car. Anhao stared outside and muttered to herself. What did she remind Zuo Hancheng about? When she was almost eaten alive by him that night, she had only asked him in a very idiotic manner if he had ever loved anyone. That was all she had said. Could it be that this sentence had reminded him of something? Could it be that she was courting death and reminded him that he should insist on maintaining his physical and mental loyalty to the person he loved and not casually touch women other than that person, so he decided not to touch her anymore? If that was really the case, Gu Anhao really wanted to bite off her own tongue. No matter what, she was the real Mrs. Zuo. How could she be so stupid! She hoped that the reminder he mentioned was not what she had imagined.. Otherwise, she would definitely kill herself with a piece of tofu! Chapter 154 - Chapter 154: Sleeping With You Every Day (4) Chapter 154: Sleeping With You Every Day (4) Translator: 549690339 At that moment, Zuo Yue was looking at the hospital bills that she had taken out from Gu Anhao¡¯s bag in shock. When she saw the initial notice of critical illness, the specialist consultation, the worsening vegetative state, and the cervical vertebra displacement, her small face instantly turned pale. When she thought about her attitude towards Gu Anhao, her little heart started to regret it. Zuo Yue quickly walked into the room after she put away the TV series. She saw Anhao sitting on the sofa and reached out her hand with some difficulty to pick up the fruit plate on the coffee table. Zuo Yue¡¯s sharp eyes saw her action and immediately ran over. She nimbly picked up the fruit plate and handed it to Anhao. When Anhao was looking at her with her head up in surprise, Zuo Yue grinned and looked at her with a gentle and loving gaze as if she was possessed by a saint.¡±¡±Sister-in-law, what else do you want to eat? If you tell me, I¡¯ll buy it for you!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Anhao blinked. What happened to Zuo Yue? ¡°Send me a signal to locate it. I¡¯ll be there immediately.¡± Zuo Hancheng was answering a call in front of the French windows. Two minutes later, he put down his phone and turned around to see Zuo Yue eagerly pouring water for Anhao and talking to her. Even more so, when Anhao slightly twisted her neck due to the pain and let out a low groan, Zuo Yue hurriedly took out the instruction manual of the treatment device from her bag and read it for a while. In the end, she was relieved, but she suddenly turned around and ran upstairs to look for something. After a while, Zuo Yue ran downstairs and ran in front of Anhao, placing a pile of snacks on the coffee table. ¡°Sister-in-law, do you want some potato chips?¡± Anhao was a little confused. ¡°Do you want some jelly? ¡°Sister-in-law, you have to tell me where it hurts. Don¡¯t hold it in! Why don¡¯t I just return your room to you? You¡¯re a patient now, so you can¡¯t be angry. Tell me whatever you want, and I won¡¯t quarrel with you anymore!¡± ¡°Sister-in-law, I still have fruit pulp and chocolate here¡­ Fruit cake¡­ Do you want to eat? Do you want to eat?¡± Anhao was completely stunned. What was wrong with Zuo Yue? Did the sun rise from the west again or something? However, just as Anhao¡¯s eyes were a little dazed, Zuo Yue suddenly turned around with a crying face and looked at Zuo Hancheng for help.¡±¡±Brother, is she really going to become a vegetable?¡± Anhao was speechless. Zuo Hancheng rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Just as Anhao was about to explain her injuries, Zuo Hancheng suddenly said, ¡°¡±Yes, if you don¡¯t treat her well and let her fall or sprain while walking, there¡¯s a high chance that everything will become true.¡± ¡°What? Then what should he do? Although Gu Anhao is the same age as me and I can¡¯t accept that a little brat like her actually became my sister-in-law, I don¡¯t want her to become so miserable!¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have finally found a way to deal with these two children. He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and said calmly, ¡°¡±When I¡¯m not at home, take good care of her. When she¡¯s hungry, feed her food, and when she¡¯s thirsty, feed her water. If she wants to go to the toilet, help her up. Don¡¯t let her have any chance to move on her own.¡± ¡°Ah, this is easy!¡± Zuo Yue nodded vigorously. Zuo Hancheng nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Then what about the shower?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly said,¡±Do I have to help her bathe?¡±¡± Anhao blushed. ¡°I should be back by the time she takes a shower tonight. I can do this myself.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Why did it sound like something was wrong? Anhao suddenly grabbed the pillow on the sofa. Even though she could not turn her head, she still followed the sound behind her and threw the pillow back fiercely. It was aimed at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng took the pillow and his lips curved into a beautiful smile. He walked back to the sofa and when Anhao turned her head to glare at him, he chuckled and placed the pillow back into her arms. He said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Be good.¡± ¡°Obedient, you big-headed ghost!¡± In the blink of an eye, he had even schemed against his sister and wife. Zuo Hancheng, that bastard! However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to really have something to do after he took the call. Although Anhao wanted to continue arguing with him, she still asked before he left,¡±¡±lt¡¯s already so late. It¡¯s almost dark. The company should be closing soon, right? Where are you going now?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not turn around. He casually put his coat on his arm and said, ¡®¡±¡®1¡¯11 help you take revenge.¡± Then, he went out. Anhao sat on the sofa in a daze. Suddenly, she felt her eyelids twitching. Zuo Yue sat beside Anhao with an envious look and said, ¡®¡±¡®Tsk, Sister-in-law, my brother is really good to you.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. Didn¡¯t you see how badly I¡¯ve been bullied?¡± Zuo Yue glanced at her.¡± Do you think my brother is so patient, gentle, and humorous to everyone?¡± You must have never been to the United States. If you ask about my brother¡¯s name in the United States, you¡¯ll definitely get the title of the cold-faced killing god in the business world.¡± ¡°What do you mean by ¡®cold-faced killing-god!?¡± ¡°It means that when my brother faces others, his expression is like this.¡±Zuo Yue made a very exaggerated expression of indifference to the extreme, which was also known as facial paralysis. ¡°But my brother is like this in front of you.¡±Zuo Yue forced a smile on her face again and used her fingers to lift the corner of her mouth up. When she finally put down her hand, she said seriously,¡±¡±Anyway, my brother treats you very well. ¡± ¡°A few days ago, he gave me the cold shoulder and gave me a hard time.¡±Anhao felt indignant for herself. ¡°Yes, I saw it.¡± ¡°Then why did you say that he treats me very well?¡± . However, my brother is usually very cold and emotionless towards others. For him to have emotions towards you, isn¡¯t this a sign that he cares? Or perhaps, Sister-in-law, you actually care about my brother a lot, right? Otherwise, you¡¯re already so sensitive to his small change in attitude over the past few days¡­¡± Anhao was speechless. What kind of siblings were they! Why was it that every time she wanted to find out the truth, the topic would always turn to her, making her feel so embarrassed that she wanted to scratch the wall? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So what if she accidentally fell in love with Zuo Hancheng? So what if she accidentally fell in love with him and became emotional because of his sudden coldness? Anhao placed her hand on her forehead and leaned back against the sofa weakly. However, the thing on her neck hurt her so much that she let out a low growl. Zuo Yue was so frightened that she quickly shouted,¡¯¡±¡®Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, what¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t become a vegetable!¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao wanted to cry.. Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: President Zuo’s Real Scary Side (1) Chapter 155: President Zuo¡¯s Real Scary Side (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo, the Han family¡¯s car is on the way back. Han Ru and her father are also in the car, but a few military vehicles suddenly stopped them and rescued them.¡± When Zuo Hancheng arrived at the harbor of A City, the sky was already dark. The sky was so dark that not a single star could be seen. Mobai walked slowly from the cars to the black Bentley that had just stopped and bowed respectfully. When the car door opened, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure appeared. Mobai glanced at him, then turned to look at the few military-green Jeeps by the dock. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm as he stared at the cars without any hesitation. ¡°President Zuo, nice to meet you.¡± A man in a military uniform got out of the car and walked straight in that direction. When he reached Zuo Hancheng, he greeted him politely. Zuo Hancheng looked at him with a clear gaze. This man was about 47 or 48 years old. He wore a few military medals on his chest, and the star on his shoulder showed that he had an extraordinary status. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change when he saw the stars on his shoulder. When the person in front of him politely extended his hand to shake his hand, he did not extend his hand but stood there coldly. ¡°This colonel seems to have a deep relationship with the Han family. How should I address you?¡± The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. He saw that Zuo Hancheng had clearly recognized his identity, but his expression did not change. He did not even give him any face. Although they knew that Zuo Hancheng was not an ordinary person, and no one in the business and political circles in the entire coastal area dared to offend him, the military was still the most important party in the country. No matter what, Zuo Hancheng should give face to the military forces. The middle-aged man smiled.¡± My surname is Han, and I¡¯m Han Ru¡¯s uncle. I know that my niece did something wrong in her youth and made Mr. Zuo unhappy, but since the victim is fine now, can we resolve this peacefully? Don¡¯t force my niece into a corner. That child has always been excellent in her studies. We can¡¯t ruin her life because of this childish and impulsive behavior.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile.¡± Colonel Han dispatched five military vehicles to intercept them. Is he planning to resolve this peacefully with me?¡±¡± ¡°This¡­¡¯ Colonel Han turned around and glanced at the cars. He turned around and smiled.¡± Mr. Zuo, please don¡¯t misunderstand. In fact, I usually need about three cars. The military is an important place, so the things in the cars are different. You should understand this. I just heard that my little niece had an accident and needed help, so I transferred two more cars from the military. It¡¯s not to make a scene, but my little niece is really¡­¡± ¡°I heard that General Ouyang left Beijing recently and happened to be visiting A City.¡±Zuo Hancheng cut him off without hesitation. The moment he opened his mouth, Colonel Han¡¯s expression froze and his eyes were filled with shock. ¡± Coincidentally, General Ouyang is resting in the opal hall under our company. He has invited General Shen, who has already visited the military district of City A, to visit Shengling Group to review the cooperation plan between our company and the domestic military equipment manufacturing industry next year.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold, like a glacier that crashed into Colonel Han¡¯s ears. ¡°¡±1 wonder if Colonel Han has any plans to gather at the Opal Gallery?¡± Colonel Han was speechless for a long time. He looked at the man standing in the wind in shock. This young man¡¯s aura was too steady and his expression was too calm. It was obvious that he had come prepared. No wonder he was not afraid of the military. It turned out that he had a bigger trump card in his hands. In military matters, the rank of an official could crush people. Not to mention a niece, even if something happened to his own daughter, if the general and the general were to get involved, he would only die. Colonel Han swallowed awkwardly and said,¡¯¡±¡®Since Mr. Zuo is so busy, let¡¯s meet another day. Coincidentally, I remember that I have some cities to go to the province at the last minute. I can¡¯t be in City A for the next two days. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll miss the meeting with General Ouyang and General Shen.¡± ¡°That¡¯s such a coincidence?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips twitched slightly with a calm expression, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Just as Colonel Han was looking for an excuse to leave quickly, he suddenly said coldly,¡±¡±Where is Han Colonel Han stood stiffly on the spot and rubbed his hands together. In the end, he clasped them tightly together. He was in a difficult position, but he suddenly did not dare to hide it. He looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold expression with a solemn expression and said softly,¡±Mr. Zuo, Han Ru is just a child. This matter¡­¡± ¡°Where is it?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not give him the chance to stall for time, and his gaze gradually became impolite. Colonel Han frowned and finally sighed.¡¯¡±¡® Because her parents knew that Mr. Zuo was blocking their way out of the city, they chose to leave by water at the harbor dock. They didn¡¯t expect Mr. Zuo¡¯s people to be waiting here, so I covered them and left after I arrived here. Now¡­ They must have gone to the West Ferry in the west, planning to take a cruise ship and hide among the guests on the ship, leaving quietly.¡± As soon as Colonel Han finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng turned around and got into the car. The black Bentley sped away at a terrifying speed. Colonel Han stood there and thought for a moment. He raised his hand and looked at the time on his wrist. There were still more than 40 minutes before the cruise ship left the dock. Even if Zuo Hancheng drove fast, he would not be able to catch up with them. After all, the roads near the West Coast Port were not wide, and there were some wet markets there. It would take some time for a Bentley, which was not a small luxury car, to pass through directly. He could only help his niece up to this point. This Zuo Hancheng had such a deep network that even the general of the military region was his guest of honor. No wonder he could reach such an extraordinary level in just five years. Looking at his resolute and cold attitude, such a person was not simple, and he was a business legend with friends all over the world. He was indeed extraordinary. ¡°Dad¡­l don¡¯t want to go¡­¡± At the entrance of the small hotel opposite the West Coast Pier, the Han family members who had been hiding here for more than an hour were standing by the roadside. Han Ru was crying and holding her suitcase. Her eyes were red from crying, and her face was full of unwillingness. Father Han let out a long sigh.¡± You¡¯ve really gotten yourself into big trouble this time. I don¡¯t know if your uncle can save you now. Hurry up and go abroad while you can delay them from finding you.¡± Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t suffer any grievances there. You can enter London University directly next year, and your uncle has already asked someone to¡­¡± ¡°Why must I leave? That Gu Anhao is still alive. I didn¡¯t kill anyone. Why should I flee the country? Also, will that Zuo Hancheng still want me dead? There¡¯s no law in this country.. I didn¡¯t kill anyone, so can he kill me?¡± Chapter 156 - Chapter 156: President Zuo’s Real Scary Side (2) Chapter 156: President Zuo¡¯s Real Scary Side (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Why are you so stubborn? I¡¯ve warned you many times not to provoke Gu Anhao again. She has Zuo Hancheng by her side, but you just won¡¯t listen!¡± ¡°It¡¯s Gu Anhao who keeps making things difficult for me. Otherwise, why would I provoke her for no reason?¡±¡±Besides, isn¡¯t she still alive?¡± Han Ru cried. I heard that she had already been discharged and went home. Why should I still leave?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Father Han glared at her in disappointment. He suddenly looked at the time and frowned. ¡°There are still twenty minutes before the ship leaves. Hurry up and get on!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± Han Ru stood rooted to the ground and looked around blankly.¡±¡±If it really doesn¡¯t work out, Dad, let me find a place to hide in A City for two months. After the storm is over, everything will be fine. It just so happens that I¡¯m preparing for winter vacation now, so it¡¯s not a problem for me to not show up for the next two months. So Dad, what do you think¡­¡± ¡°You child, you just don¡¯t listen to my advice. Now that things have come to this point, the airport has been strictly checked over the past two days. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng has already made his move. Previously, he treated you as children and didn¡¯t pursue the matter wantonly, but this time, it¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t intend to let us off.¡¯ ¡°Dad!¡± ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± ¡°Xiao Ru, let¡¯s go. Don¡¯t think that Zuo Hancheng looks like a nice person. In fact, this kind of person is the most you can¡¯t offend! Your father and I have been in the business world for so many years and have long heard of his name in the United States. In the past few years, he has only hidden himself and did not provoke anyone. This kind of person is too shrewd and can¡¯t be offended!¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t want to¡­¡± Hurry up and leave. Since Zuo Hancheng has decided to pursue this matter, your father and I can¡¯t protect you for the time being. We can only send you away so that he won¡¯t be able to find you. As for us, I don¡¯t think the Han family¡¯s business can continue in the country¡­¡± Han Ru¡¯s heart sank.¡¯¡±¡®But isn¡¯t Uncle in the military? The business world and the military world should be able to restrain each other. It won¡¯t be to the extent that our family¡¯s business¡­¡± Han Ru¡¯s mother cried and pushed her gently.¡±¡±Hurry up and leave. Don¡¯t say anything. You¡¯re still a child after all. You don¡¯t understand how powerful this is. Hurry up and leave¡­¡± Han Ru had no choice but to wipe her tears and walk toward the dock with her suitcase. At this moment, the dark sky became darker and darker, and lightning began to flash and thunder began to rumble. This was the coastal area, and the winter weather was not very stable. It had just snowed a few days ago, and now it was freezing rain. Han Ru felt even more uncomfortable as she listened to the thunder in the sky. Endless regret and hatred swirled in her heart, but she could only lower her head and slowly move toward the dock. At the same time, Father Han received a call from Colonel Han. He looked around in panic, then turned to Han Ru and urged,¡±¡±Xiao Ru, hurry up and go in!¡± Han Ru didn¡¯t understand why her father was so anxious to get her on the boat. She didn¡¯t say anything, but she obediently quickened her pace. Just as Father Han thought that he could get his daughter on the boat before Zuo Hancheng arrived, two bright lights suddenly came from the direction of the market that was gradually deserted due to the weather. Father Han looked at the two bright lights in horror and recognized that they were the headlights of the latest Bentley. He frowned and looked back at Han Ru, then at the car. ¡°Xiao Ru, hurry up! They¡¯re chasing after us! Get on the boat!¡± Han Ru¡¯s body trembled when she heard the shouts behind her. She quickly ran toward the dock. However, just as they thought that the car would not be able to reach the market immediately due to the obstacles and narrowness of the road, Mother Han suddenly let out a cry of shock. The black Bentley was seen speeding towards them with a disdainful attitude, knocking all the obstacles on the side of the road away. ¡°Xiao Ru, hurry!¡± Father Han was completely shocked. No one could guess what Zuo Hancheng, who was always as steady as Mount Tai, would do when he was truly angry. They did not expect that he would personally chase after Han Ru and even destroy all the obstacles to keep Han Ru alive. The headlights of the car flashed in front of the Han family, hurting their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they saw that there were two black MPVs following behind the black Bentley. They were also moving at an astonishing speed. Father Han gritted his teeth. Just as Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car had driven out of the most narrow intersection, he suddenly ran over and stood with his arms outstretched on the road where the car had to pass. Mother Han was completely frightened. She stood rooted to the ground and watched this scene without saying a word. There was only infinite fear. Even so, the car was about to hit Father Han¡¯s body, but it did not slow down. Mother Han screamed in horror. Han Ru turned her head around and stopped in her tracks when she saw what was happening. She turned around and ran back in disbelief.¡±Dad! Father Han had goosebumps all over his body. In the cold rain, he seemed to be standing straight to block the road ahead of the car, but his entire body was trembling. The car in front of him was getting closer and closer. It was driving in his direction at a terrifying speed. The moment it crashed into the trash can not far away from him, Father Han immediately closed his eyes tightly. However, just as Han Ru and Mother Han raised their hands to cover their mouths in fear, the black Bentley stopped ten centimeters in front of Father Han, accompanied by an ear-piercing screech of brakes. The two black morning cars that followed behind them were already parked side by side on both sides of the car. Mobai stepped out of the MPV first and looked coldly at Father Han, who had already turned pale.¡±Mr. Han, you love your father so much, but it¡¯s a pity that you gave birth to an immature daughter.¡± Father Han came back to his senses and looked at them in disbelief. Then, he looked at the few people in black uniforms who came out of the two cars. In the end, his eyes fell on the black Bentley in the middle. He couldn¡¯t believe it. In the five years that Zuo Hancheng had been in the business world in the country, he had been progressing steadily and had never done anything out of line. However, he was really as cold, arrogant, and unreasonable as he had once heard in the American business world. They couldn¡¯t believe that he would rather destroy all the roadside facilities and stalls on the narrow road just now and charge at them at such a high speed just to get justice for a nineteen-year-old girl. The door of the black Bentley opened, and Zuo Hancheng got out of the car. Mobai walked closer and stood by the door with a black umbrella. Zuo Hancheng took the umbrella and walked toward Father Han. Looking at the man who seemed to have walked out of hell tonight, Father Han seemed to see the legend that he had heard in the American business world. The legend that shocked everyone in the American business world just a few years ago. It was him, the young man named Zuo Hancheng.. Chapter 157 - Chapter 157: President Zuo’s Real Scary Side (3) Chapter 157: President Zuo¡¯s Real Scary Side (3) Translator: 549690339 It was him, the young man named Zuo Hancheng. Now, he was standing in front of her with a calm expression and a cold gaze. ¡°Left¡­ Mr. Zuo¡­¡± Father Han had almost lost his soul just now, but he finally came back to his senses. He looked at him with fear and trepidation.¡±You¡­ This was¡­ What are you doing¡­¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you trying to die by standing here? Why couldn¡¯t he even complete a sentence Hancheng¡¯s black eyes stared at him coldly. At the same time, he turned to look at Han Ru, who was standing stiffly on the other side of the road. Seeing that he had already discovered his daughter, Father Han hurriedly said, ¡°Mr. Zuo, actually, this matter is just a fight between two students at school. There¡¯s no need to make it so big. Look, can we¡­¡± ¡°It seems that I didn¡¯t intend to make such a big deal out of it at first.¡±Zuo Hancheng held the umbrella in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. He looked casual, but his eyes were cold.¡±But since you directly used the power of the military region, it¡¯s no wonder that I¡¯m retaliating in the same way. If you want Han Ru to escape, you have to ask for my permission.¡± Zuo Hancheng, who had always been polite and polite, was actually so arrogant! Father Han gritted his teeth. He stood in the cold rain and looked at the man noldlng tne DiaCK umDre11a m front or mm.¡±xmao Ru IS still young ana immature. If Mr. Zuo wants to pursue the matter, come to me directly. I¡¯ll use the entire lifeline of the Han family¡¯s business to accompany you. I only beg Mr. Zuo to let go of my daughter and give her a chance to redeem herself and grow up¡­ Please¡­¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t agree, what can you do?¡± Father Han¡¯s eyes froze. A bolt of lightning flashed across the horizon, lighting up the entire dark sky. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was as cold and gloomy as a god who had just been resurrected from hell when the lightning flashed. Father Han¡¯s eyes were red.¡± Mr. Zuo, please let Xiaoru go. Even if it¡¯s my life, I¡¯ll give it to her. She¡¯s still young¡­¡± ¡® When Gu Anhao was locked up in that haunted bathroom, she almost suffocated to death in there due to claustrophobia. When she was sent to the hospital, the doctor immediately notified her that she was in critical condition and quickly called the key experts in the province for a consultation. The possibility of her deteriorating into a vegetative state was clearly written on the medical record. At that moment, I suddenly realized that Anhao was only a nineteen-year-old child. She was still young.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was clear and cold, but every word was clear in the midst of lightning and thunder. ¡°The murderer and the victim are both young people. Mr. Han, you don¡¯t have to play a trick here.¡± Father Han¡¯s eyes were red. At the same time, he realized that the people behind Zuo Hancheng had already moved towards Han Ru and pinned her down. His legs trembled and he almost knelt down.¡±Mr. Zuo, please make an exception. I beg you¡­Xiao Ru, she¡­¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? I didn¡¯t ask her to die.¡±¡± Han Ru is already eighteen years old,¡± Zuo Hancheng said expressionlessly.¡± She has reached the age where she can bear criminal responsibility.¡¯¡±¡® Father Han¡¯s expression froze when he heard the words ¡®criminal responsibility¡¯. ¡°The crime of intentional injury causing serious injury is clearly stated in our country¡¯s law. The sentence is between three years and ten years in prison.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng looked at Father Han¡¯s pale face with a faint smile.¡±¡±Since Han Ru is still a student, of course, I won¡¯t use an adult¡¯s method to do too much cruel revenge. Just the most basic criminal law of our country is enough to make her bear everything.¡± ¡°Left¡­ Mr. Zuo¡­¡± Father Han immediately knelt down, his eyes filled with despair.¡±lf Xiao Ru goes to jail, her life will be ruined. She has just become an adult. She can¡¯t go to jail at such a good age. Mr. Zuo, please give her a chance¡­¡± Even if the normal punishment was three to ten years, as long as Zuo Hancheng was there, Han Ru would probably not be able to get out for twenty years. She would die in prison for the rest of her life. This kind of lifelong torture that accompanied a family of three was crueler than any other method. This was a lifetime of despair! Father Han knelt in front of Zuo Hancheng with a long face and said in despair, ¡°Mister Zuo, I beg you¡­¡± However, just as he reached out to tug at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s trousers, the man in front of him had already turned around and walked away with the black umbrella. Thunder rumbled, accompanied by Father Han¡¯s blood-dripping scream and Mother Han¡¯s wailing. Not far away, Han Ru, who was restrained by a few people in black uniforms, had a blank and desperate expression on her face¡­ Before opening the car door and getting into the car, Zuo Hancheng glanced back and glanced at Father Han who was kneeling in the middle of the road. MO Bail s sharp eyes saw that President Zuo seemed to have something to say, so he quickly walked over and said softly, ¡°President Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng handed the black umbrella to him.¡±¡±l¡¯ll shelter Mr. Han from the rain for a while so that he doesn¡¯t get sick.¡± It was clearly a caring tone, but it sounded cold and devoid of warmth. Mobai nodded and silently took the umbrella. As Zuo Hancheng got into the car, Mobai turned around and walked towards Father Han. He handed the black umbrella to him and said,¡±¡±Mr. Han, President Zuo has never liked to force people, but this time, your daughter has really gone too far. Since President Zuo is angry, no one can save her.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Mobai loosened his grip, and the black umbrella rolled in front of Father Han. He looked at Father Han coldly, and when Father Han looked up in despair, Mobai¡¯s lips curled up coldly. He turned around and walked in the direction of the black SUV. At that moment, Mobai vaguely saw Zuo Hancheng, who had been in America many years ago. He was shocked that all of this was because of Gu Anhao. On the other side, Gu Anhao, who had no idea what was going on in the storm outside, was sitting on the sofa. Zuo Yue was feeding her fruits eagerly. ¡°Sister-in-law, how are your final exam results?¡±Zuo Yue casually found a topic to chat with. Hearing the words ¡± final exams ¡± , Anhao was furious. She rolled her eyes at the ceiling.¡±l didn¡¯t take the exam.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t take the exam?¡± Zuo Yue was shocked.¡± Didn¡¯t you work hard for so long just to show off your skills during the final exams? Why didn¡¯t you take the exam?¡± Anhao did not want to recall what happened that day and all the nightmares in the bathroom. She only bit the apple that Zuo Yue fed her fiercely and raised her hand to adjust the position of the treatment device on her neck. The boss said unhappily,¡±That was the most aggrieved day of my life. Compared to everything I had encountered when I was young, it was more aggrieved. It was fine for others, but I actually fell into the hands of that white lotus!¡± ¡°What?¡± Zuo Yue was confused.¡¯ However, before the conversation could continue, the sound of a car could be heard from outside. Anhao immediately looked out of the window and saw that it was dark outside. The freezing rain came very suddenly, making her panic. She did not know how Zuo Hancheng had gone to avenge her. Well, a man as steady as him shouldn¡¯t kill anyone.. Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: President Zuo’s Real Scary Side (4) Chapter 158: President Zuo¡¯s Real Scary Side (4) Translator: 549690339 Even though Zuo Hancheng said that he would not kill her, he still brought a gust of cold wind in when he entered the room, causing Anhao to shiver. Hmm, why did it feel like Zuo Hancheng was not like the gentle and refined man he usually was? Instead, he seemed to be a little dark? Her eyes must be playing tricks on her¡­ ¡°Brother, you¡¯re back!¡± Zuo Yue stood up. Because of the fact that she was chased out of the house by her brother and sister-in-law, she changed her previous attitude and went up to them with a smile. She even said happily, ¡°Sister-in-law has always been fine. She didn¡¯t fall or touch anything, and she didn¡¯t take a shower. Oh right, Sister-in-law hasn¡¯t had dinner yet!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows when he heard that she had not taken a shower. He glanced at Zuo Yue with an expression that said,¡± You¡¯re a sensible girl. ¡± However, when he heard that Anhao hadn¡¯t eaten dinner yet, his gaze fell on Anhao. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you on a hunger strike?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating dinner?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue¡¯s cooking is similar to mine. I can¡¯t eat it at all.¡±Anhao said weakly,¡± I wanted to order takeout, but Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t find the number for takeout. She used my phone to look for it, but her hand trembled and deleted all my contacts. Not to mention the number for takeout, everyone¡¯s numbers are gone!¡± Anhao hated him in her heart, but she did not dare to show it on the surface. After all, Zuo Yue had really done her best to take care of her today. Although Zuo Yue looked so smart, she was actually more clumsy than she was when it came to doing things. She was really convinced! As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Yue grinned in embarrassment and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was obviously not surprised.¡±¡±That, brother, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± As she spoke, she looked at the time.¡±lt¡¯s only a little past 8:30 now. It¡¯s not even 9:00 yet. It¡¯s still not too late to have dinner now.¡± As a patient, Anhao enjoyed the treatment of being taken care of by others, although the other party¡¯s clumsiness and talkativeness made her almost break down. However, when he looked up at Zuo Hancheng, he realized that he seemed to know his sister very well. He only glanced at the two of them and threw the long black trench coat to Zuo Yue. He turned around and unbuttoned the exquisite cufflinks on his shirt. He rolled up his high-quality sleeves and went into the kitchen. Anhao and Zuo Yue looked at each other. Zuo Yue gestured a victory V at Anhao. Anhao grinned and suddenly felt a little sorry for her husband¡­ Ten minutes later. Her phone rang. Zuo Hancheng fiddled with the noodles in the water with one hand and took out his phone with the other. He glanced at it and put it to his ear. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡± I¡¯ve already investigated Colonel Han¡¯s situation in the military region,¡± Wenner said on the other end of the phone.¡± I¡¯ll get Mobai to bring it to you tomorrow morning. ¡®¡±¡® ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Hancheng replied indifferently. Wenner could tell from his tone that he was not resting, so he asked casually,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, you¡¯re home already? Still not resting?¡± Wenner looked at the time. Then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange sound from the other end of the phone. It sounded like an egg breaking. Zuo Hancheng picked up the phone with one hand and placed the egg into the bowl with the other. He said calmly,¡±¡±I¡¯m making egg noodles.¡± Wenner, who was sitting at home drinking red wine, almost spat it out. He held it in for a long time before he dared not ask any more questions. He just felt that Mr. Zuo was indeed not someone ordinary people could compare to. An hour ago, he was like Satan in hell, putting the Han family in despair. In the blink of an eye, he had returned home and turned into a good man who washed his hands and made soup. A human like Wenner, who roamed around in nightclubs from all over the world, was indeed not from the same world as Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Mr. Zuo, please continue with your work. I will go to the company tomorrow to talk about Colonel Han.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down his phone and glanced at the darkened screen. Then, he looked at the bowl of beaten eggs in his hand. The corners of his lips curled up calmly and slowly. ¡°Wow, it smells so good!¡± Zuo Yue could not sit still when she smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen. She got up and ran over. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already prepared two bowls of the simplest but fragrant egg noodles, he immediately went to help carry them out. Anhao¡¯s stomach was growling as she smelled the fragrance. She struggled to stand up, but because she was wearing a treatment device, she could only continue to raise her head like a mole. She looked in the direction of the dining table in a strange posture.¡±Can we eat now? I¡¯m so hungry!¡± ¡°Alright, sister-in-law!¡± Zuo Yue had also been starving for a long time. When she saw the two bowls of noodles on the table, she had completely forgotten about taking care of Anhao. After casually answering, she sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating. Anhao heard the sound of Zuo Yue slurping down her noodles. She anxiously walked around the sofa and wanted to go over. However, because the thing on her neck blocked the edge of the carpet under her feet, she suddenly staggered forward. Just as she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Zuo Hancheng walked over and grabbed her in his arms. Anhao immediately grabbed his sleeve tightly and looked at Zuo Hancheng with pleading eyes. She had been saved by him every time. Now, she was so hungry that she was almost crying for her mother. He was like a god who had descended from the heavens to solve her urgent needs. She finally acknowledged the title of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Prince Charming. ¡°I¡¯m hungry She grinned. Seeing that she was so hungry that she was looking at him, Zuo Hanshen turned his head and glanced at Zuo Yue, who had already eaten half a bowl of noodles, and said calmly,¡±¡±Handing you over to Zuo Yue is clearly not a wise choice.¡± Before Anhao could say anything else, he pushed her to the dining table and pulled out a chair for her. When Anhao tried to pick up her chopsticks, Zuo Hancheng sat down beside her. He picked up the chopsticks and the bowl of noodles, picked them up, and fed them to her. ¡°Are you really going to feed me?¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡± ¡°So much nonsense. Are you going to eat?¡± Although his actions were gentle, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were still blunt. Of course, Anhao was the type of person who would quit when she was ready. She would never make things difficult for herself. Moreover, every time she argued with Zuo Hancheng, she felt that she would lose a lot of her brain cells. Hence, she obediently opened her mouth and ate the noodles. She smiled happily because of the expected deliciousness.¡±Delicious.¡± As Zuo Yue ate her noodles, she raised her head and glanced at Anhao¡¯s infatuated expression. Then, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions and expression as he fed her the noodles. She could not continue eating. Was there such a way to show off their love in front of others? As a single dog, she was very sad to be abused! Even such a bowl of fragrant noodles could not dispel her little anger! Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Bathing Her (1) Chapter 159: Bathing Her (1) There were even more outrageous things to come. After the meal, Anhao actually had an extra meal. Zuo Yue did not notice that Zuo Hancheng had just made her favorite fish bowl. Just a moment ago, he had been humiliated by their display of affection. At this moment, Anhao was sitting on the sofa while Zuo Hancheng continued to feed his little wife with his own hands. Zuo Yue was not convinced. She asked why Gu Anhao could have a special meal but she couldn¡¯t. Zuo Hancheng did not even bother to answer,¡±Anhao needs to nourish her body.¡± ¡°I also want to nourish my body!¡± Zuo Hancheng pretended not to hear him and continued to feed Anhao. Anhao was already holding back her laughter until her stomach hurt. Zuo Yue squeezed herself to Anhao¡¯s side and sat down. She opened her mouth and looked like she wanted to eat with her baby. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with disdain.¡±¡±There¡¯s still some in the kitchen. Go get yourself a bowl. Do you want me to feed you?¡± When Zuo Yue heard this, she immediately got up excitedly. She did not care if she was treated poorly in front of her sister-in-law. Anyway, she had her favorite fish bowl to eat. When Zuo Yue ran into the kitchen, Zuo Hancheng glanced at Zuo Yue¡¯s back and continued to scoop a spoonful of soup into Anhao¡¯s mouth.¡±¡±Eat some more.¡± Anhao blushed slightly. She had always thought that she was a thick-skinned man. She thought that she would only blush when she was bullied and teased by Zuo Hancheng. Now, she was blushing because he was taking care of her. She drank the soup he fed her and swallowed it obediently. She still maintained her stiff posture of raising her neck slightly with the treatment device on and said with a touched expression,¡±Thank you.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond to her words and continued feeding her. In the end, Anhao couldn¡¯t eat anymore. She raised her hand and rubbed her stomach.¡±¡±If I continue to eat, I¡¯ll probably have to go to the gynecologist¡­ It will burst¡­¡± Seeing her embarrassed expression, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the little fish soup left in Yu Zhong¡¯s bowl and did not continue feeding her. He stood up and put the fish bowl aside. He glanced at Zuo Yue, who was sitting at the dining table and eating the fish bowl.¡±Go upstairs and go straight to your room after you¡¯re done eating. Don¡¯t run around upstairs and downstairs.¡± ¡°What are you doing? Can¡¯t I run back and forth to digest my food after I¡¯m full?¡±Zuo Yue was not convinced. ¡°I¡¯m helping her bathe. Are you sure you want to just watch from the first floor?¡± Zuo Yue spat out a mouthful of soup.¡±¡±Then forget it. I¡¯m afraid that this kind of forbidden scene is too explosive and not good for teenagers like me.¡± Anhao did not say anything, but her entire face was completely red. She turned around and glanced at Zuo Hancheng, who was ¡®educating¡¯ her younger sister with a serious expression.¡±lt¡¯s time for me to bring this treatment device, right? I¡¯ll wash it myself¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, sister-in-law!¡± Before Zuo Hancheng could speak, Zuo Yue interrupted,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t you let my brother help you bathe? You¡¯re husband and wife anyway, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? Besides, the book says that bathing together is good for a couple¡¯s relationship. Besides, you still have to give birth to a baby quickly¡­¡¯ Anhao was speechless. How could Zuo Yue still be considered a teenager! They didn¡¯t even need to torture themselves to understand everything! However, Zuo Hancheng obviously agreed with her and looked in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction with admiration.¡±¡±So, go back to your room to rest after you finish eating. Don¡¯t run around in front of me at night, okay?¡± ¡°OK! ¡°In order to see her little nephew being born earlier, Zuo Yue threw away all the grievances and raised her hand to make an OK gesture. Anhao almost vomited blood. It was not until more than half an hour later that Zuo Yue went upstairs. When Zuo Hancheng went to take out Anhao¡¯s change of clothes, Anhao sat on the sofa and did not move. Instead, she slowly turned her head to look at him awkwardly. When he walked over, she whispered, ¡°¡±Actually, the nurse helped me wash my body in the hospital yesterday. Why don¡¯t you not wash it tonight?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Are you sure you want to sleep like this with the bacteria you brought back from the hospital?¡¯¡±¡® Anhao paused for a moment. She remembered that she was in the hospital before. It seemed very unsanitary to sleep without taking a shower on the first day of her return. Moreover, there were a lot of bacteria. She hesitated for a moment and said,¡±lt¡¯s only ten o¡¯clock now. It seems that my treatment device will be up in an hour. I can take it off for nine to ten hours. Why don¡¯t I wait a little longer? I¡¯ll take it off and wash it myself.. ¡® Before she could finish her sentence, she yawned loudly. She was so sleepy that her eyes were red. Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Instead, he went straight into the bathroom as if he did not hear her. He took her change of clothes and pajamas in. She noticed that there was a set of pink underwear in her clothes. Her face turned even redder. Seeing that he was ignoring her rejection, she could only stand up slowly and reluctantly move towards the bathroom step by step. Anhao stood stiffly at the entrance of the bathroom. Zuo Hancheng turned around and said after filling the bathtub,¡±¡±It¡¯s not convenient to shower with this thing around your neck. Come here and get into the bathtub.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao walked in blankly, but she couldn¡¯t see the floor under her feet because of the thing on her neck. She hesitated and stood in the middle of the bathroom without moving. After Zuo Hancheng tested the temperature of the water, he stood up and walked to her side, as if he did not notice her helplessness.¡±¡±Take off your clothes yourself.¡± Anhao was startled. She slowly raised her hand and unzipped her cotton-padded sportswear. The wound on her arm from the stone in her school bag was still hurting. She endured the pain and slowly unzipped her clothes. However, before she could pull it all the way down, a large hand reached over and held her hand to help her unzip her clothes. At the same time, she pulled her clothes off. Anhao stood rooted to the ground, her eyes fixed on Zuo Hancheng who was seriously taking off her clothes. At this point, it seemed inappropriate to say something embarrassing. She could only purse her lips. When his hands took off her clothes and pants one by one, his blinking eyes revealed her nervousness. Anhao did not dare to look into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes until she finally sat naked in the bathtub that was filled with water. Actually, it was not the first time she was naked in front of Zuo Hancheng. He had almost eaten her up before this, and he had seen every part of her body before. But now, under the light in the bathroom, everything was too clear. It was not like those times when she was in a daze. The feeling of being naked in front of a man made her feel endless panic and insecurity. However, even though the water was transparent, she still heaved a sigh of relief. Just as Anhao exhaled, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand touched her shoulder. She shuddered and turned to glare at him.. What are you doing? Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: Help Her Bathe (2) Chapter 160: Help Her Bathe (2) Translator: 549690339 Just as Anhao exhaled, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand touched her shoulder. She shuddered and turned to glare at him. What are you doing? ¡°What are you so excited about? Do you think you¡¯re in a hot spring and you can come out without taking a bath?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Sit still.¡± Anhao could not see his hand movements because of the thing on her neck. She could only feel the water on his hand sliding over her shoulder. Although it was very comfortable, every time his palm touched her body, she would tremble and feel uncomfortable. Five minutes later¡­ ¡°Are you done showering?¡± Ten minutes later¡­ ¡°It should be enough¡­¡± Fifteen minutes later¡­ After Zuo Hancheng had washed her body thoroughly, he placed his hand on her chest. Anhao shuddered and looked at him.¡±Be more careful with your hands¡­¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand naturally brushed past her chest with water. Anhao¡¯s hair stood on end. He did not look very wretched, but he was so calm and natural that she could not say a word. He did not stay on her chest for long before his hand moved away. The moment she heaved a sigh of relief, he actually moved his hand to her leg without any hesitation. ¡°Spread your legs.¡± Anhao stared at him silently and sat stiffly in the bathtub, refusing to move. Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a straight face.¡±¡±I¡¯m giving you a bath. What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± This Anhao was determined not to, especially when she saw his slender fingers sliding across the water. Her heart trembled and she did not dare to open her legs. She closed her legs tightly.¡±l can barely wash this myself. I don¡¯t need you to do it.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled calmly, but the smile in his eyes was obviously malicious.¡±As your husband, I¡¯m still very willing to help you with this.¡± ¡°No need, no need, I don¡¯t need you! I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± Anhao¡¯s attitude was firm. She leaned further into the bathtub.¡±I¡¯ve been showering for so long. Let me soak in the water for a while. I¡¯ll go out in a few minutes and wash myself!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand moved out of the water and did not force her. However, when he got up, he glanced at her and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°¡±I¡¯11 give you five minutes at most.¡± ¡°Why did you only give me five minutes? Why are you so anxious?¡± Anhao looked at his back as he turned around and was about to leave. Zuo Hancheng did not turn around to look at him. He only said when he opened the bathroom door,¡¯¡±¡®I¡¯ll take a cold shower.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao looked at the door that he had opened and then closed. His figure had already disappeared outside the bathroom door. She was stunned for a long time and almost burst out laughing. He deserved it! He deserved it! Who told you to tease me while I was bathing! In the end, you won¡¯t be the one suffering, hahahahaha! As for the cold shower, didn¡¯t he say that there wouldn¡¯t be a next time? In the end, he still couldn¡¯t do anything to her because she was covered in injuries and had such a big thing on her neck. He couldn¡¯t do anything to her. Haha. Anhao leaned against the bathtub proudly and started humming a song. Hearing the girl¡¯s proud laughter and singing coming from the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and glanced at her wet pants that were splashed when he helped her bathe. He then looked at a certain part of her body that was already in extreme pain. He turned around and said in the direction of the bathroom with an ugly expression,¡±¡±lf you dare to be arrogant again, do you believe that I will tie you to the bed and directly do you?¡± Anhao immediately stopped talking. She believed that Zuo Hancheng would do it. If he really tied her to the bed, she wouldn¡¯t need to do anything. She wouldn¡¯t need to move at all. He would definitely do as he said. She was quiet and didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. She was just holding back her laughter and sitting quietly in the water. The warm water around her made her feel much more comfortable. She closed her eyes and leaned back slightly, enjoying this moment of peace. It was also because he was in an absolutely quiet space again that he recalled all the despair he felt in the dark washroom that day. Finally, when there was no one around him, he could put down all his smiles and quietly close his eyes, silently licking the faint pain in his heart. Gu Anhao, everything is over. Life is getting better and better day by day. Don¡¯t be shrouded in the shadows of the past. After continuously cheering herself on, she forced a smile. However, when there was no one around, she realized that even a smile was so powerless. Late at night. Anhao, who was finally able to take off the cervical spine treatment device before she went to sleep, fell asleep under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unsatisfied gaze. At two o¡¯clock in the morning, Zuo Hancheng turned off the computer that contained important documents from the company and put it aside. He turned his head to look at Anhao who was sleeping soundly beside him. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly and seemed to be in peace, he turned off the dim yellow light at the bedside. Darkness, darkness, everything was dark on the wall¡­ Let me out¡­ I¡¯m so scared¡­ Uncle¡­ Brother¡­ Save me¡­ Mother¡­ Save me¡­Mother¡­ Save me¡­ Let me out¡­ I don¡¯t want to be locked up here¡­ Let me out¡­ The small figure curled up in the dark space, shivering. She could not hear any sound, as if she was isolated in a different space. Despair and horror invaded her fragile nerves. Memories of when she was five years old flooded her mind. Anhao opened her eyes abruptly, her entire body drenched in sweat. She had almost screamed in her dream. Fortunately, she had been habitually enduring it these days and did not let anyone notice the aftereffects of her claustrophobia. She lay quietly on the bed with a pale face. She slowly turned her head and saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were closed quietly. His sleeping face was calm. He must not have been woken up by her rapid breathing due to fear. She carefully turned her back to him as tears fell from her eyes. She couldn¡¯t remember how many days it had been. Ever since she woke up in the hospital, she would wake up in such a nightmare almost every night. Her dreams were filled with terrifying darkness, making her return to the two days of fear when she was five years old every day. She was immersed in those fears and despair, crying non-stop in her dreams. Behind her, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s breathing was steady. She did not want to disturb anyone. She had already troubled others time and time again. Zuo Hancheng had helped her too much and she did not want to bother him anymore. She did not want him to worry so even though she could not sleep well every night, she had hidden it well in the hospital. But now, she was sleeping next to him. She was afraid that she would be woken up by a nightmare, so she instinctively urged herself to open her eyes. Fortunately, she did it. Fortunately, she did not scream¡­ However, just as Anhao closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep again, the man who had been sleeping quietly behind her slowly opened his eyes. There was no sign of sleepiness in his eyes. He turned his head slightly and looked at the person who was hiding all her weaknesses in the darkness with her back to him.. Chapter 161 - Chapter 161: Help Her Bathe (3) Chapter 161: Help Her Bathe (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao closed her eyes tightly. When she closed her eyes, all she could see were the terrifying images hidden in the darkness. There were real and terrifying shadows swaying, and there were also illusory shadows that were produced by fear. She was so afraid that her entire body curled up, and she carefully hid her head under the blanket. No matter what, tonight was probably going to be another sleepless night. From the day she woke up in the hospital, she hadn¡¯t had a good night¡¯s sleep. She didn¡¯t know how long this fear of being woken up by nightmares and insomnia would accompany her. Because of fear and insomnia, Anhao, who thought she had hidden it well, sobbed secretly. She slowly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Just as she was about to cover her head with the blanket, suddenly, an arm reached out from behind her and pulled her into a warm and familiar embrace. She struggled in the darkness and opened her eyes abruptly. Before she could come back to her senses, she had already been forced to turn her body around and her entire body was pressed into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. At the same time, the man who was hugging her turned on the warm yellow light at the head of the bed. His dark and warm eyes looked at her curled up tightly in his arms like an insecure little animal. His palm gently stroked the back of her head as he looked at her gently and concernedly. Anhao¡¯s eyes turned hot and she almost cried out loud. She lowered her eyes subconsciously, not wanting him to see the redness in her eyes from crying just now. However, Zuo Hancheng lifted her chin with one hand and forced her to look at him under the warm yellow light. ¡°How long has this insomnia lasted?¡± He was obviously asking the obvious, but he wanted to seek the most truthful answer from her. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t avoid it, Anhao actually didn¡¯t want to reveal her most vulnerable side in front of others again and again, especially in front of the same person. It seemed that ever since she met Zuo Hancheng, every time she was wronged, bullied, or had any psychological trauma or sadness, he would always be by her side. She sniffed and said in a low voice,¡±¡±After I woke up that day, I started to lose sleep every night.¡± As expected, he was right. Zuo Hancheng thought that he had a good understanding of this girl. Although he could see through her disguise and bravado, he did not notice that she had been hiding her pain every day without anyone noticing. b. When he noticed her strange behavior, he could vaguely guess that she had been in this condition for a long time. Now that he heard her answer, he frowned and pulled her into his embrace lovingly. He gently stroked her head with his palm. Anhao could feel his comfort and care. She grinned at him.¡±l¡¯m fine. I guess I was really scared when I was locked up that day, so I might have nightmares for a few days. I was in the hospital before, so that feeling couldn¡¯t be maintained. Now that I¡¯m home, I guess I¡¯ll be fine in a few days¡­¡± ¡°In the future, don¡¯t hide this from me. It¡¯s a disease related to claustrophobia. Even if you don¡¯t want to see a psychiatrist, you can¡¯t be so stubborn.¡± Zuo Hancheng said as he hugged her completely in his arms.¡±¡±Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡± Anhao shook her head. Because of this warm and firm hug, she instinctively pressed her head against his chest. Her small face rubbed against his chest like a kitten, finding a comfortable position in his arms. ¡°This feels much more comfortable¡­l want to sleep¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at her. Seeing that this girl was really stubborn and did not want to open the wound in her heart to say anything, he did not force her anymore and only patted her shoulder gently. ¡°Sleep.¡± Anhao lay in his arms and took a deep breath of the scent on his body. She felt sleepy for some reason, and she really felt like she could fall asleep in his arms. She held on to her last bit of consciousness and mumbled in his arms,¡±¡±Am I very useless?¡± Zuo Hancheng covered both of them with the blanket and wrapped her tightly with it. At the same time, he patted her shoulder and said softly,¡±¡±Yes.¡± Anhao suddenly opened her eyes and looked at his chest. She said speechlessly,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, do you comfort people like this?¡± The script shouldn¡¯t have played out like this! He was supposed to tell her a lot of good points to comfort her little heart and gently coax her to sleep, but he actually admitted that she was really useless! How could he coax people like this! Just as Anhao was rolling her eyes in his arms, Zuo Hancheng lifted her face and made her look up at him. When he saw Anhao¡¯s unhappy expression, he laughed.¡±¡±Silly girl, if you¡¯re really that powerful, what do you need me for?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just stared at his handsome face under the warm light at the bedside. ¡°This is probably just a reason you found to comfort me.¡±Anhao stared at him and mumbled softly. Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± It¡¯s fine as long as I know about your good and bad. You don¡¯t have to say it out loud.¡± Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. Sleep peacefully. I¡¯ll accompany you.¡± Anhao felt very touched, very touched, indescribably touched. She nodded and leaned her head into his arms again. At the same time, she curled up her entire body into his embrace. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. As if she had found the greatest sense of security and warmth, she slowly closed her eyes. In less than three minutes, Anhao¡¯s breathing became even. She didn¡¯t expect herself to fall asleep in his arms. Zuo Hancheng gently stroked her hair and planted a warm kiss on her hairline. After confirming that she was really asleep, he reached out and turned off the light at the bedside. This was the best night Anhao had slept since the accident. When she woke up the next day, it was already past nine in the morning. She sat up and gently twisted her neck. She felt that the pain at the back of her neck was getting less and less by the day. At the same time, she felt that the wound on her arm was getting better and less painful. She was in a good mood as she changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom. However, just as she walked out of the bedroom, she suddenly realized that there was an additional person in the house. It was a man with a pair of blue eyes. Judging from his skin color, hair color, and eye color, he should be an American. He was about 30 years old, young and handsome. He was sitting on the sofa with Zuo Hancheng, laughing and talking about something. When he heard the bedroom door open, he suddenly got up and walked towards her. ¡°Hello, Miss Gu. I¡¯m Wenner, Mr. Zuo¡¯s friend and your psychiatrist..¡± Chapter 162 - Chapter 162: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (1) Chapter 162: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was a little surprised. She suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had already stood up on the sofa, and emphasized,¡± I don¡¯t need a psychiatrist. ¡± It was within Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expectations that she would resist. Zuo Hancheng curled his lips slightly and made a formal introduction.¡±¡±Wenner isn¡¯t a psychiatrist. He¡¯s a criminal psychologist hired by the FBI in the United States. I know that you don¡¯t need a doctor right now, but you need to talk to someone in the field of psychology about the trauma left behind by the kidnapping case when you were five years old.¡± Anne was slightly stunned and looked at the handsome foreign man in disbelief. ¡°A criminal psychologist from the FBI?¡± Wenner handed her his name card like a gentleman.¡±¡±Miss Gu, nice to meet you.¡± Anhao took the business card and glanced at it. She was so shocked that she almost covered her mouth. He was a criminal psychologist from the FBI, the highest-paid private detective in Los Angeles, and a guest professor at Harvard University¡¯s Department of Psychology. With so many important identities together, it was only a young man, and he was actually Zuo Hancheng¡¯s friend. Moreover, it was obvious that he respected Zuo Hancheng very much. He was already waiting for him in the living room so early! She looked at Wenner, who was smiling like a gentleman, in surprise, and then looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief. What kind of husband did she marry¡­ The people in the military and political circles seemed to be very afraid of him, and the people in the business world were even more afraid of him to the point of doing despicable things like drugging him, but they still couldn¡¯t deal with him. In the blink of an eye, even such a powerful person was his friend. Even Wenner was very polite and respectful to Zuo Hancheng. Otherwise, he would not be sitting here and chatting with Zuo Hancheng so early in the morning. Also, Zuo Hancheng said that he was going to avenge her yesterday, but she still did not know what he did. For some reason, she believed that he would definitely help her deal with it. Standing there, she looked at Wenner and then at Zuo Hancheng. She gulped and asked softly, ¡®¡±¡®Then, you¡¯re a criminal psychologist, and I didn¡¯t commit a crime. How are you going to help me? Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s locked in a dark room like he¡¯s interrogating a criminal¡­¡± Wenner burst out laughing.¡± Miss Gu, you¡¯re so humorous. Criminal psychology is just a way to track down criminals, not to interrogate them. It¡¯s similar to psychology. Mr. Zuo is understanding of your stubbornness, so he didn¡¯t really call a psychiatrist over. That¡¯s why he asked me to come and see you, Miss Gu.¡± Anhao was relieved. At the same time, she looked at the man with a pair of blue eyes with admiration.¡±Detective! He was actually an expert from the legendary FBI! Mr. Wenner, would you mind giving me an autograph?¡± Wenner¡¯s eyelids twitched slightly. He was surprised for a moment before he laughed. ¡°Miss Gu, this¡­¡± ¡°Just give me an autograph, okay?¡±Anhao was like a little fan who had just met her idol. She didn¡¯t care if there was anyone else in the house. She turned around and rushed back to the bedroom. She took out a pen and paper from her bag and ran back to him. ¡°You write¡­l wish Gu Anhao a happy life every day, and then I¡¯ll just sign it!¡± Wenner took a pen and paper and glanced at Anhao, who was as excited as a bunny. He could not help but slowly turn around and look at Zuo Hancheng, who was already walking towards them. Obviously, he absolutely could not sign this name. If he signed it, he would probably end up getting paid a sky-high price just for giving psychological guidance to a little girl. With one hand in his pocket, Zuo Hancheng slowly walked over to Wenner, who was standing still. He glanced at the pen and paper in Wenner¡¯s hand and took it from her. When Anhao turned to look at him in confusion, he signed his name on it. Ann¡¯s eyes widened. When he threw the pen and paper back into her hands, she said in surprise,¡±l want the signature of the great detective, Mr. Wenner, not yours! What are you doing?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Among the people who know me, the only one who doesn¡¯t want my autograph is probably you.¡± Anhao blinked, but at the same time, she looked at Wenner with a pleading expression. She carefully handed the paper in his direction and said,¡±That¡­ Just sign one for me, okay¡­¡± Wenner laughed.¡± Miss Gu, if you bring it to America, Mr. Zuo¡¯s autograph is enough for you to buy a priceless mansion. Even in China, it¡¯s enough for you to take a check to the bank. Why do you want my autograph if you don¡¯t want such a really important thing? My name doesn¡¯t seem to have any meaning.¡± Anhao completely ignored the words ¡± mansion ¡± and ¡± check ¡°. She stubbornly said like a child who had not been given candy,¡±¡±But you¡¯re a great detective! I especially like Sherlock Holmes stories! Just when our classmates were all fascinated by idol dramas, I was already immersed in the ocean of American dramas. Moreover, I often watch those detective dramas. I didn¡¯t expect to be a living private detective in front of me! I don¡¯t care, I want your signature!¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Wenner smiled awkwardly.¡±¡±This paper has Mr. Zuo¡¯s signature. I don¡¯t dare to sign my own name on it.¡± ¡°Why? Why are you afraid of him? Can he eat you?¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise. Zuo Hancheng looked at the little girl who did not know what was good for her and was really heartless. He raised his eyebrows slightly.¡±As long as I can eat you.¡± Anhao blushed and glared at him.¡±¡±Stop teasing me so early in the morning.¡± ¡°You also know that it¡¯s early in the morning?¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed. You¡¯re asking for another man¡¯s autograph in front of your husband so early in the morning. How can you be so shameless?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about? Everyone has idols.¡± Anhao was clearly trying to argue with her attitude of deliberately ignoring her husband. Without waiting for Zuo Hancheng to speak, she stuffed the paper into Wenner¡¯s hands and said with a smile,¡±¡±Sign one, quickly sign one. He¡¯s not your FBI officer, so he won¡¯t do anything to you. Detective, please sign one for me!¡± Wenner took the paper helplessly and smiled at the same time. He slowly folded the paper with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s signature neatly and placed it back into Anhao¡¯s hands. Under Anhao¡¯s surprised gaze, he chuckled and said,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo is indeed not my superior, but he is my boss.¡± ¡°Old¡­¡± Anhao choked for a moment and immediately came back to her senses. She pursed her lips.¡± So your employer is watching you from the side, causing you to be unable to communicate with your fans. Where are your human rights?¡± If he didn¡¯t want an autograph, he might as well take a photo!¡± Wenner was speechless.. Chapter 163 - Chapter 163: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (2) Chapter 163: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (2) Translator: 549690339 As a child who suddenly needed to see a psychiatrist, Anhao felt very miserable. Fortunately, Wenner was a humorous and gentlemanly person. He was also very polite to Zuo Hancheng. She did not know what kind of relationship he had with Zuo Hancheng when they were in America. They seemed to be very good brothers, but upon closer inspection, she realized that Wenner basically listened to Zuo Hancheng. Although it was fun to chat with Wenner, Anhao still couldn¡¯t stand sitting with this blue-eyed man for the whole day. When she was receiving psychological treatment, her husband, Zuo Hancheng, did not leave either. He sat on the sofa not far away and read a pile of documents that Mobai had specially sent over from the company. Tsk, what¡¯s so good about being a CEO? He¡¯s so busy every day that he doesn¡¯t even have a real rest day. There are a lot of things that need him to make decisions. If it were her, she would have been annoyed to death long ago. Mobai finally took out a leather file and handed it to Zuo Hancheng. His colleague whispered into his ear, ¡°¡±We still haven¡¯t settled things in S City. Miss Rong insists on seeing you.¡± Even though Mobai had lowered his voice, Anhao¡¯s sharp ears still caught the words ¡± Miss Rong.¡± She pretended not to know anything and looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm expression, she said calmly,¡±¡±After so many days, there should be an end to it.¡± As he spoke, Zuo Hancheng, who had been ¡®monitoring¡¯ them from the side, stood up, picked up his phone, and walked out. Anhao secretly stared at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. She had only heard the words Miss Rong ¡± and did not hear anything else clearly. Now that Zuo Hancheng suddenly said this and went out with his phone, she guessed that something must have happened. Just as she was wondering if the so-called Miss Rong was Rong Xue, Mobai followed her out. Zuo Yue had to go to the airport to pick up someone from the United States today, so she was not at home. For a moment, only Anhao and Wenner, who was sitting on the sofa opposite her, were left in the spacious and bright living room. ¡°Miss Gu, Mr. Zuo is not here right now.¡±Wenner suddenly said,¡±When you talked to me just now, you only mentioned some things about your childhood, but you deliberately ignored what happened in the few months after your personality changed five years ago.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze, but she did not speak. She just looked up at him and said, ¡°¡±How do you know that I¡¯m deliberately ignoring it? Maybe nothing happened during those few months, so I didn¡¯t mention it.¡± Wenner smiled and said,¡± Miss Gu, don¡¯t forget that I study criminal psychology. I can observe the actions, tone, and expressions of the people in front of me very carefully. When you told me about your childhood, including the kidnapping incident when you were five years old, it was as if you were telling a story from a very long time ago. Although your eyes were very sad, it clearly shows that although you have a shadow over her, you have already tried to gradually let go of all this dark past.¡± ¡°But when you talked about what happened after you entered the Gu family at the age of fourteen, there would always be a pause of one or two seconds in your words. Moreover, when you talked about your first year in the Gu family, you only said that that year was a fork in the road for you, but you did not talk about what happened after your mother¡¯s death in detail.¡¯ Anhao looked at him silently for a long time before she whispered,¡±¡±Do I have to tell you everything about my past when I¡¯m doing psychological therapy?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Wenner smiled kindly.¡± The past isn¡¯t important. What¡¯s important is the past that has always been in the shadows in your heart. You have to tell me. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know how to help you better.¡± Anhao pondered for a while and didn¡¯t say anything. Wenner was still kind.¡± Of course, I won¡¯t force you to tell me something that you don¡¯t want to tell others, but Miss Gu, Mr. Zuo said that your insomnia and fear are very serious. If you continue to be like this, you are still young and have not experienced much. Perhaps it won¡¯t be much, but as you grow older, these fears will become instinctive. It is even possible that at some point in the future, you will develop hysteria because of a psychological stimulation.¡± Hearing the word hysteria, Anhao¡¯s entire body stiffened, and her hands on her knees instantly clenched tightly. Hysteria was almost a mental illness. Anhao was scared for a moment. She had always thought that she was strong and fearless. She thought that she would grow up and face everything in the past alone. However, after being locked up in that dark bathroom for so long, she realized the vulnerability and fear hidden deep in her bones. She felt that if she really did not let Wenner help her relieve the knots in her heart, even if she did not have any serious hysteria in the future, she would probably be mentally weak. Looking at her small movements, Wenner looked at her calmly.¡±¡±You have to think about it carefully.¡± ¡°If I tell you¡­¡± Anhao looked up at him and said in a very soft voice,¡±¡±What happened in those three months¡­Can you not tell anyone, especially Zuo Hancheng?¡± Wenner was stunned. He looked at her calmly for a while and smiled.¡±Yes, following the patient¡¯s wishes is also a kind of professional ethics. Although Mr. Zuo is my boss, you are my patient. I will abide by our agreement and not tell anyone about you.¡± Hearing Wenner¡¯s rational assurance, Anhao heaved a sigh of relief. However, just as she was about to talk about what happened in the three months when she first moved into the Gu family when she was 14, she instinctively tightened her grip on her sleeve and secretly frowned. She remained silent for a long time before she slowly revealed the secret that had been hidden in her heart for five years to the man with a pair of blue eyes sitting in front of her. ¡°Mr. Zuo, Miss Gut s claustrophobia is only temporary and not very serious. She just doesn¡¯t feel safe because of all the things that happened during her growth.¡± Wenner paused for a moment and looked at the man sitting with him in the bar. He continued,¡± She is very insecure, but she hides all this under her rebellious facade. Deep inside her heart, there is a monster that has imprisoned her soul in a corner. That monster is the accumulation of all the injuries she has suffered in the past.¡± As soon as Wenner finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant brows gradually furrowed..¡±Did she mention anything else to you? Something we don¡¯t know?¡± Chapter 164 - Chapter 164: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (3) Chapter 164: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (3) Translator: 549690339 As soon as Wenner finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant brows gradually furrowed.¡±Did she mention anything else to you? Something we don¡¯t know?¡± Wenner looked at him calmly. Under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze, he said,¡±¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°You think I¡¯ll believe you?¡± Zuo Hancheng sneered.¡± Wenner didn¡¯t explain much. He just picked up the glass cup on the table and put a few pieces of ice in it. He slowly tasted the wine in the cup and recalled how Gu Anhao had said those words in an exceptionally calm tone in front of him that day. ¡°As for Miss Gu, I¡¯m temporarily playing the role of her psychiatrist. The secrets that the patient is unwilling to tell others are my secrets. I have to keep my promise to the patient.¡±Wenner said truthfully. Zuo Hancheng did not force him. He snorted coldly and said,¡±¡±it¡¯s rare for you to be serious about Gu Anhao¡¯s matter.¡± That¡¯s because this girl is very important to you, Mr. Zuo.¡± Wenner chuckled.¡± Of course I wouldn¡¯t dare to neglect her. ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold eyebrows moved slightly.¡± ¡°Could it be that Mister Zuo didn¡¯t notice it yourself? Your concern for this girl is not just a simple move.¡± Wenner said in a very light voice,¡±¡±it¡¯s been a long time since you¡¯ve used the dark forces behind you. But that day, when you personally went to chase after the Han family, I heard Mobai say that if it weren¡¯t for General Ouyang¡¯s identity, you might really have used the dark forces behind you to confront the colonel of A City¡¯s military district.¡± Zuo Hancheng, who was about to raise his glass to his lips, paused for a moment. His cold gaze swept across Wenner¡¯s body.¡±Mobai¡¯s mouth hasn¡¯t been honest recently. It seems that the people around me have been with me for too long. It¡¯s time to change them.¡± ¡°Are you willing to?¡± Wenner smiled and raised his glass to toast him. At the same time, he changed the topic and said,¡±¡±How do you plan to deal with Miss Rong¡¯s matter? The United States has already put pressure on Translator Planet, but you have not agreed to it. Translator Planet is a large corporation that you have invested in. It is undoubtedly a huge loss for you to stop all your work here because of Miss Rong.¡± ¡°The loss of Yi Xing is not within my consideration.¡±Zuo Hancheng drank a cup of wine. His eyes were light and clear. At the same time, he said in a low voice, ¡°You should know that I have no interest in the entertainment industry. Back then, investing in Yi Xing was just a project submitted by the Planning Department. At that time, I had just returned to the country, and using Yi Xing as a representative company in the country to gain a foothold was just a temporary measure. Now, this chess piece is dispensable to me. Why would I do something I don¡¯t want to do for Yi Xing?¡± ¡°What you really don¡¯t want to do is to continue taking over the entertainment company¡¯s trivial matters, or to see Miss Rong?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him coldly.¡±¡±What, are you treating me as your criminal or Gu Anhao? What information do you think I¡¯ll reveal to you so that you can find out a big piece of gossip and sell it back in America?¡± Wenner immediately smiled as if his trick had been exposed. He raised his glass and drank as a punishment.¡±it¡¯s my professional habit. I almost forgot that you¡¯re my boss.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you forgotten many things?¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted. The few things you owe me back then, I¡¯ll get them back from you sooner or later.¡± Wenner shrugged.¡± You know that the UA military is very strict. I haven¡¯t been able to get anything, let alone the ones I promised you. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll take some time. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you were still reliable many years ago, I really wanted to kick you out and change someone else to do it.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down his wine glass. His voice was as cold as a square glass filled with ice. Wenner wasn¡¯t affected by the cold. Instead, he said with a smile,¡±¡±lf you kick me out, you won¡¯t be able to find such a loyal Wenner again. Even the most high-end cloning technology can¡¯t make a friend as great as me.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve only interacted with Gu Anhao for less than two days. How did you learn her narcissistic and cunning temper?¡± Zuo Hancheng chided.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you miss Miss Gu so much, so when you look at a man, you think that I look too much like her.¡±Wenner boldly teased,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ve fallen in love and are about to be unable to extricate yourself.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and took another sip of wine. ¡°Not necessarily.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± At night, it was already past ten o¡¯clock at night. Zuo Yue temporarily stayed at the hotel near the airport and would only return tomorrow. Anhao, a patient who could not take care of herself for the time being, sat at home and enjoyed the feeling of loneliness. She checked the time every ten minutes and looked out the window again. Zuo Hancheng was still not back. This was the first time he had returned home so late without going on a business trip, working overtime, or having a drinking party. He did not even call her or tell her where he was. Anhao thought that she was quite generous, but seeing that it was almost eleven o¡¯clock, she took off the treatment device on her neck on time. She had recovered a lot in the past two days and could already take off the thing on her neck by herself. She got up and walked to the window to look outside. She was worried for once, wondering if Zuo Hancheng had met with a car accident or a robber. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She quickly turned around to find her phone and dialed his number. However, she called three times in a row, but no one picked up. Her heart was even more chaotic. Did something really happen? What could happen to a man who was almost thirty years old? Could it be that he had encountered a robbery? Anhao was secretly speculating about all the possibilities. She was wondering if Zuo Hancheng had been raped by a few people. He was not back yet. Could he have been raped by a group of women? Suddenly, the familiar sound of a car came from outside. The moment she heard the honk, she knew that it was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s special car. Anhao stood in front of the window and looked forward, but she did not see anyone walk in. Instead, she waited for her phone to ring. She picked up her phone and saw that it was Wenner calling. She was surprised for a moment and picked up the phone.¡±Hello? Mr. Wenner?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, have you removed the medical device on your neck?¡± ¡°Uh¡­l took it off.¡± Anhao was a little confused. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo drank too much. I called the driver to send him back. I¡¯m also in his car, but I¡¯m too drunk to help him up now. Is it convenient for you to come out and help Mr.. Zuo in¡­ Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (4) Chapter 165: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (4) Translator: 549690339 Did Zuo Hancheng drink too much? This was simply a strange story! The last time he was drugged, he drank so much wine and was still in a half-conscious state. How could he drink so much just like that? However, Anhao still walked out doubtfully. Sure enough, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car was parked outside. The driver opened the back door and saw Wenner and Zuo Hancheng sitting side by side in the back. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were really closed and he reeked of alcohol. He was completely different from his usual self¡­ ¡°H-Why did he suddenly drink so much?¡± Ann was dumbfounded.¡± Wenner was also half-drunk. He waved his hand in Anhao¡¯s direction and said, ¡°The two of us haven¡¯t drunk together for many years. We¡¯re both busy. As good brothers, it¡¯s the happiest thing to be able to drink together¡­Gah¡­ Wenner continued to laugh.¡± Mr. Zuo, it¡¯s rare for you to relax today. However, I didn¡¯t expect his alcohol tolerance to be so much worse than when he was in the United States. It seems that the alcohol in China is indeed harmful to the stomach. It used to be that you wouldn¡¯t get drunk after a thousand glasses, but now you can only stay sober after a hundred glasses. Haha¡­¡± As he spoke, Wenner nudged Zuo Hancheng, who had his eyes closed and seemed to be unconscious. He smiled and looked at Anhao, who was standing outside the car door in a daze.¡±Miss Gu, please help him in. I won¡¯t go in.¡± Anhao stared at them blankly and pointed at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s 1.8-meter-tall body.¡±¡®Should I help him in? There¡¯s no one else in the house now. Should I help him in by myself? I¡¯m still a patient!¡± Wenner smiled and waved at her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t think that we don¡¯t know that you¡¯re deliberately making it sound so serious to avoid winter break tuition. Your neck doesn¡¯t hurt that much anymore. Even if you still need to bring that thing to strengthen it every day, you can definitely help him. Stop pretending. Hurry up and help your husband in¡­¡± Anhao was speechless. He was actually exposed just like that! It was true that she was no longer in pain, but it did not mean that she was not in pain at all. However, Wenner and Zuo Hancheng had obviously seen through her pretense long ago and did not expose her. In the end, Wenner actually exposed her after a few glasses of wine! Anhao¡¯s face turned red and then white. She was so angry that she wanted to kick the car in front of her. She held it in and could only walk over and pull Zuo Hancheng out. With her previous experience, she knew how to help Zuo Hancheng save the most effort. However, she did not expect Zuo Hancheng¡¯s entire body weight to press down on her as soon as she pulled him out of the car. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, be gentler¡­ My neck hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet!¡± Anhao shouted as she tried to support his body, but she could only hold him in a half-bear hug. On the other side, Wenner ordered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chauffeur to send him back, completely ignoring Anhao who was about to explode. The black Bentley sped away, and the snow on the ground was stirred up by the wheels. The cold snow flew in front of her. An was so angry that she almost cursed. She turned around and looked at the car that had already gone far away. Then, she looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was in her arms, and cursed speechlessly, ¡°Bastard! Looks like you weren¡¯t drunk last time. You weren¡¯t this heavy last time! You¡¯re the one who¡¯s drunk! Then I¡¯ll leave you here and let you sleep in the snow, okay?!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the man, who was already drunk, suddenly raised his arms and hugged her in his arms. He pressed her down heavily as if he thought that there was a big bed behind her and wanted to press her down. Anhao used all her strength to steady him.¡±¡±Hey, hey, hey, stand firm. This is outside the door, not home. Behind me is the cold snow!¡± Sure enough, her scream was effective. Zuo Hancheng forced his eyes open and looked at the white snow behind her. He snorted lightly and did not press her down anymore. Instead, he hugged her tightly.¡±Be good and let your husband kiss you.¡± At the same time, his hand moved from her waist to her chest, as if he was going to tear her clothes apart and kiss her neck. Anhao quickly pushed his face away.¡±¡±Pervert! I didn¡¯t expect you to be like this, Zuo Hancheng! When he was really drunk, he was even more of a hooligan than when he was drugged!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± ¡°I said you¡¯re a hooligan!¡± Anhao scolded him angrily as she supported him back to the house. It was not easy for her to help the man who was over 1.85 meters back to the door. When she saw the tightly shut door in front of her, her mind suddenly buzzed. ¡°F * ck!¡± ¡°I forgot to bring my keys out!¡± she said with a horrified expression. Why is the door closed just like that?!¡± As she spoke, a gust of cold wind blew outside the door. The half-closed door would have been blown shut by the wind. If she had not been standing next to Zuo Hancheng, she would have been blown to the side by the wind. Anhao glanced at the man beside her helplessly.¡±¡±Did you bring the key?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng, who had too much to drink, did not seem to listen to her. He only looked down at her, smiled, and leaned his head over to steal a kiss on her mouth. ¡°Don¡¯t take advantage of me!¡± Anhao pushed him away as she groaned. At the same time, she raised her hand and began to grope around his body. Just as Zuo Hancheng was panting heavily from her touch and was about to press her against the door, she bent her legs and blocked the way between the two of them. Her knees pushed against his legs, making him temporarily unable to fight back when he was drunk. It was not until she found the key and opened the door that Anhao, who was already covered in a layer of ice from the cold wind, quickly dragged Zuo Hancheng into the room. Because he was more than a head taller than her, she basically did not have much strength left. She finally brought him to the sofa and was about to press him onto the sofa to catch her breath. However, just as she reached the sofa, her feet suddenly slipped because she stepped on the tassels on the edge of the carpet. Her entire body fell heavily onto the sofa. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng, who had been dragged down by her, fell on top of her. Anhao¡¯s head hit the corner of the sofa. Not to mention the impact on her head, even her neck hurt. She quickly raised her hand to press her neck and cried out in pain, ¡°Ahhh, it hurts!¡± Finally, she woke up with a scream of pain. Zuo Hancheng buried his head in her neck and slowly raised his head. His dark eyes saw her frown into a ball of eyebrows because of the pain. He raised his hand and caressed her neck.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Where does it hurt?¡± ¡°My neck hurts!¡± Anhao was in so much pain that she was about to cry. That damned Zuo Hancheng, why was he drinking with Wenner instead of taking care of her at home? Zuo Hancheng put his hand on her neck and suddenly pressed his face against hers. Just as Anhao was wondering what he was going to do, he whispered into her ear,¡±¡±it¡¯s okay, it doesn¡¯t hurt. Hubby will blow on it for you..¡± Chapter 166 - Chapter 166: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (5) Chapter 166: Zuo Hancheng Had Too Much to Drink (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It¡¯s okay, it doesn¡¯t hurt. Hubby will blow on it for you.¡± ¡°Anhao was instantly petrified. Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t get drunk with me!¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± ¡°When I¡¯m normal, you¡¯re so drunk that you don¡¯t even know your surname. When I swear, you remember to teach me a lesson, right?¡±Anhao pushed his shoulder angrily.¡±¡±Get up quickly, you¡¯re so heavy! A 1.8-meter-tall person was completely on top of me! Get up!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng had obviously found a comfortable position on her body and had instantly forgotten that she was still a patient. When he pushed him, he rubbed his body down¡­ Your sister! Anhao forced herself up with both hands and tried her best to lean against the back of the sofa. She no longer maintained her lying position and raised her hand to pull his hair. ¡°Hey, Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t be such a hooligan!¡± The gentleman in front of her rubbed his head in front of her even harder and let out a very satisfied sigh. ¡°Anhao gritted her teeth and pulled his ear.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng! You¡¯re the CEO of a corporation, and you command tens of millions of employees in all the companies around the world, big and small. In the end, you actually used alcohol to act like a hooligan! It was too LOW! ¡°Hurry up and get up! Don¡¯t pretend to be drunk! Get up!¡± Anhao kept scolding him, but the man on top of her was so drunk that he only treated her chest as a pillow. Her hands kept scratching his head and ears. In the end, when she was tired of struggling, she gave up and sat on the sofa, allowing him to hug her tightly. When his hand touched the edge of her pajama pants, Anhao looked down at his closed eyes and glared at him fiercely.¡±¡±Bastard! I knew you were pretending! You¡¯re deliberately taking advantage of me!¡± Zuo Hancheng completely ignored her words and continued to hold her in his arms. At the same time, he no longer pressed his body against hers. He turned over and sat on the sofa, but he was still very close to her. The hand that was hugging her never left her body and pulled her over. She raised her hand to push his head away and curled up her body with some difficulty to prevent him from kissing her again.¡±You¡¯re not really planning to do me while you¡¯re drunk, are you?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Zuo Hancheng finally opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse with drunkenness. Anhao¡¯s face turned red from the kiss.¡± I¡¯m sorry about what happened last time. I shouldn¡¯t have brought up the past in front of you like that.¡± What other people¡­ ¡± The man who was kissing her obviously heard her apology. He did not say anything, but he gave her the most direct response with a deeper kiss. Suddenly, she was suspended in the air. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to carry her to the bedroom, she said with a red face,¡±¡±l¡¯m still an injured patient¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng was completely oblivious to the little flames that were dancing in her heart. As he carried her to the bedroom, he kicked open the bedroom door with his foot. Yes, he kicked her! The very violent kind! [I recommend Peach¡¯s new article, Honey Loves the Fresh Wife: Chief Prince Charming, Spoiling the Heavens.

She was just short of walking around the world!] Chapter 167 - Chapter 167: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (1) Chapter 167: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (1) Translator: 549690339 What should she do? What should she do? Anhao really wanted to lie in front of her computer and send a request for help thread to wait online! However, Zuo Hancheng did not notice the little flame in her heart at all. He carried her to the bedroom and kicked the door open. Yes, he kicked her! The very violent kind! The bedroom was pitch black, and Zuo Hancheng had no intention of turning on the lights. Fortunately, if he had turned on the lights, he would probably have seen his little wife¡¯s face as red as a crayfish in a spicy pot¡­ Seeing that she was staring at him, Zuo Hancheng slowly unbuttoned his shirt and said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±Why are you staring at me so intently? What part of my body have you not seen?¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned red. The room was dark the last few times, and now the bedroom is dark as well. If it wasn¡¯t for the moonlight shining through the window, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to see anything! Where do I look like you, ah, look, shouldn¡¯t look, look, all look, look, all look, all look, all look, all look, all look, all over the world!¡± As she spoke, she suddenly sat up like a little beast. She decided not to pretend to be a patient anymore and instead took the initiative to pull on his shirt buttons. Since he couldn¡¯t escape, he should enjoy it! The prerequisite for enjoyment was that he should also take the initiative. If he really lay there without moving, it would really feel like he was a fish on a chopping block. Although Zuo Hancheng was enjoying her dominance, he had suffered too many losses from this girl before. Seeing that she had not unbuttoned a single button even though she was in a hurry, he leaned forward and hugged her in order to avoid falling for her tactic of stalling for time. ¡°Hey, Zuo Hancheng, be gentle¡­¡± (This content has been blocked by Harmony) ¡°Kacha-¡± Suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from outside the bedroom. Zuo Hancheng did not stop what he was doing, but Anhao suddenly froze and quickly curled up to avoid it. At the same time, she tilted her head to listen outside and whispered,¡±¡±lt¡¯s so late. Why would someone open the door and come in?¡± The veins on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead bulged, and he said in a low voice,¡±¡±lgnore her. Let¡¯s continue.¡± ¡°No, Zuo Yue said that she would be staying at the hotel at the airport today. Who would suddenly open the door at this time? Could it be a thief? Anhao blinked and said seriously. Zuo Hancheng really felt like he was going to be tortured to death by her. He had already come this far. If he did not continue tonight, even a cold shower would not be able to save him! The more Anhao thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She wanted to push him away so that she could get up and see what was going on. However, just as she was about to sit up, Zuo Hancheng pushed her back onto the bed. He bent down and did not give her any room to escape, so that she would not find an opportunity to escape. Anhao¡¯s entire body was pressed down by him without any hesitation. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face in the dark in shock, and her heart was pounding. At the same time, there was the sound of someone walking in the living room and the sound of the lights being turned on. Anhao¡¯s body tensed up and she tried to curl up. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to shoot..¡±The people outside¡­The lights are on¡­¡± Chapter 168 - Chapter 168: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (2) Chapter 168: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s entire body was pressed down by him without any hesitation. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face in the dark in shock, and her heart was pounding. At the same time, there was the sound of someone walking in the living room and the sound of the lights being turned on. Anhao¡¯s body tensed up and she tried to curl up. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to shoot.¡±The people outside¡­The lights are on¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead was about to drip with sweat. He simply sealed her small mouth that kept emphasizing that there was someone outside. He firmly separated her legs with his hands. Anhao could not resist and could only mumble to remind him not to let others hear. ¡°Sister-in-law, are you asleep?¡± Suddenly, Zuo Yue¡¯s voice came from outside the bedroom. Anhao was so frightened that her hair stood on end. Zuo Hancheng had just casually closed the bedroom door and did not lock it. Regardless of why Zuo Yue suddenly came back in the middle of the night, if she thought that Anhao was the only one sleeping in the bedroom and pushed the door open, she would be able to see the whole scene. At this moment, Anhao was almost stripped naked, and Zuo Hancheng was not any better than her. The two of them looked at each other in the dark and finally felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand on her waist loosen a little. Anhao quickly got up and pulled up the blanket as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden. She winked at him, signaling him to put on his clothes quickly. Zuo Hancheng felt that after meeting Gu Anhao, he finally understood what it meant to be a hero with a short breath. Zuo Yue knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. She felt that it was a little strange. Usually, Anhao would sleep very late when Zuo Hancheng was not at home. She would never go to bed early like when Zuo Hancheng was at home. Moreover, she leaned against the door and vaguely heard a slight strange movement in the room. She knocked on the door twice in confusion and pressed her ear against the door. She whispered, ¡°Sister-in-law, are you still awake? Then I¡¯ll go in!¡± As she spoke, she gently pushed open the door and saw that the bedroom was pitch-black. However, she was sure that she had really heard a sound from inside. When she raised her hand to turn on the bedroom light, the room suddenly lit up. Anhao was lying on her side in an abnormally twisted position, and Zuo Hancheng was lying behind her, covered with a blanket. He looked like he was asleep. Anhao tilted her head in her twisted position and looked at Zuo Yue, who was standing in front of the door with a surprised expression. She raised her hand and waved at her.¡±l was just about to sleep. Why are you back?¡± ¡°Uh, 1¡­¡± Zuo Yue blinked her eyes, then stuck her head out to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was ¡®asleep¡¯ behind Anhao.¡±¡±My brother is back? Then why didn¡¯t he give me a call? I thought he was busy at the company.¡± Anhao continued to cover the man¡¯s hand behind her in a twisted position. Zuo Hancheng looked like he was sleeping under the blanket, but he secretly reached out a hand from under the blanket and reached into her clothes firmly, refusing to let her get up freely. Anhao could only use this method to block his hand so that Zuo Yue would not see it. Zuo Yue felt that something was amiss, but since Zuo Hancheng was already asleep and Anhao was in the bedroom, it did not seem right for her to barge in. So she shrugged.¡± Sister-in-law, you can rest. I¡¯ll go up and sleep first.¡±¡® ¡°Weren¡¯t you at the airport?¡± Although her posture was awkward, she was more curious about why Zuo Yue had suddenly returned. ¡°There aren¡¯t many good hotels near the airport. The hotel rooms are too dirty. It¡¯s obvious that the blankets and towels haven¡¯t been carefully disinfected and washed. I took a few glances and prepared to go back to sleep. I asked my parents to send someone from the United States to pick me up to wait for me there.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I notice that you¡¯re a germaphobe?¡±Anhao was a little surprised. Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± I¡¯m not a clean freak. I just didn¡¯t expect the hygiene standards of some hotels in this country to be so bad. I saw some reports about some hotels on the news a few days ago, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be true. Although not all hotels are that dirty, I checked the few hotels near the airport today. Oh my god, it¡¯s really indescribable!¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue shook her head with an unbearable expression.¡±¡±l¡¯m exhausted after such a long ride. I¡¯ll go up and sleep first. Good night, Sister-in-law.¡± ¡°Good night¡­¡± When Zuo Yue was about to close the door, she suddenly paused and turned around to sniff the room.¡±¡±Why does it smell like alcohol?¡± Anhao replied very naturally,¡± Your brother drank too much when he came back. He was so drunk that he didn¡¯t even take a shower and fell asleep. Didn¡¯t you see that he wasn¡¯t woken up by our conversation?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°No wonder.¡± Zuo Yue looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction with a strange expression on her face. She felt that something was wrong, especially when she had just entered the room. She had clearly heard a sound coming from inside. Gu Anhao was clearly not asleep yet, but why did she not respond when she called her? However, after opening the door, it did not seem like there was any problem. Could it be that she got carsick from going back and forth to the airport today, so she thought too much? Zuo Yue raised her hand and knocked on her own head. She turned around and walked out, closing the door of the master bedroom in an instant. The moment the door closed, Anhao still didn¡¯t move, but the hand that had reached out from under her clothes had already started to move. It gradually went around her body and caressed her chest. Anhao quickly turned around and wanted to reprimand him, but at the same time, she heard the sound of Zuo Yue coming upstairs. She heaved a sigh of relief. Before she could say anything, the man lying under the blanket beside her suddenly got up and pressed her down. The blanket rolled up and covered the two of them. Anhao hurriedly raised her hand to block the two of them. Previously, she was so mesmerized that she let him do whatever he wanted to her. But now that she was interrupted by Zuo Yue, her heart was beating wildly. She suddenly thought of something and raised her hand to push his chest. Her eyes were clear as she looked at the man who was still drunk.¡±When I calmed down just now, I suddenly remembered something big. I received a call from Chunchun today. I heard that Han Ru and the other students were expelled!¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw that she was about to reject him. He pressed her hand down and kissed her lips. He replied in a hoarse and perfunctory voice,¡¯¡±¡®Yes.¡± ¡°How strange.¡± Anhao tilted her head and stared at him.¡± It¡¯s fine if the others were expelled. Even if they have a big family, they don¡¯t have the power of the Han family in the military. I heard that those people were taken to the police station and two were even detained. There¡¯s nothing to be observed. But why did Han Ru get expelled with them?¡± If he could be expelled so easily, then what was the point of the principal being so polite and careful to the Han family?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not like this topic at all. He unbuttoned Anhao¡¯s pajamas and said hoarsely, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this now. Let¡¯s continue..¡± Chapter 169 - Chapter 169: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (3) Chapter 169: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Continue my ass!¡± Anhao quickly raised her hand to stop him from unbuttoning his shirt and glared at him.¡±¡±This is a very serious question! How did you manage to deal with the Han family? I heard from Chunchun that Han Ru hasn¡¯t appeared until now, and the people who came to apply for expulsion weren¡¯t Han Ru¡¯s parents. It¡¯s as if the Han family doesn¡¯t dare to appear¡­¡± As she spoke, she looked at him excitedly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you really have a trump card to deal with the white lotus family?¡± Zuo Hancheng was so tormented by this wretched girl that he suddenly bit down on her neck. Anhao hammered his back in pain.¡±Ah, it hurts!¡± ¡°You also know pain?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes had already turned slightly red because of his forbearance.¡±Do you know how much pain I¡¯m enduring right now?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao blinked, and it took her a long time to realize which part of her body he was referring to. She stole a glance at his lower body. Because he was pressing on her body, she could not see him for the time being, but she could still feel his lower abdomen¡­ ¡°But I really want to know what method you used to deal with the Han family. Do you have people in the military? Zuo Hancheng, are you really that powerful?¡± Anhao looked at him curiously. ¡®¡±¡®Tell me, how did you do it?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you tomorrow morning. Be good and take your hands off me.¡± ¡°Tell me how you dealt with the Han family, and I¡¯ll take my hand away.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her for a while and frowned when he saw that she insisted.¡±¡±l have my ways. These are matters between the Shang, Zheng, and Jun worlds, you don¡¯t have to worry about them.¡± ¡°But Han Ru¡¯s matter is related to me. I have the right to know what you did and what will happen to the Han family? That day, you said that you were going to avenge me. I clearly felt that there was killing intent in your eyes. Although I didn¡¯t see it clearly, I¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly interrupted her in a very soft voice. When Anhao was stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said,¡¯¡±¡®Are you deliberately torturing me to death?¡± Anhao blinked innocently.¡±¡±l have no choice¡­l was scared by Zuo Yue until all my desires ran away. I can¡¯t focus now, so¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to focus. I¡¯m focused enough.¡±Zuo Hancheng really did not want to waste his breath on her. ¡°That won¡¯t do. It¡¯s my first time anyway, so it has to be perfect. If I don¡¯t have any desires and have so many questions in my heart, I definitely won¡¯t be able to enjoy it. It¡¯s my first time, and you¡¯re letting me do it so hastily?¡± ¡°What do you want?!¡± Zuo Hancheng continued to gnash his teeth.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Tell me what will happen to the Han family first. How did you deal with them? I¡¯ll tell you what I want to do.¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He looked at her for a while and suddenly got up from her body. Anhao was stunned. Could he have been angered by her again? She quickly sat up and raised her hand to grab his hand.¡±Where are you going?¡± Zuo Hancheng pushed her hand away with a dark face.¡±¡±lf I stay any longer, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll die. I¡¯m going out to get some fresh air.¡± Ah, was he planning to let her go? However, although Anhao felt that she had cheated to fulfill her little willfulness, she was still afraid that he would be angry or ignore her for some reason because of the previous incident. She grabbed his hand tightly and said, ¡°Are you going to take a cold shower?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned around and glared at her fiercely.¡±¡±l¡¯m already immune to cold showers!¡± Anhao suddenly felt apologetic. She pulled his hand hard and whispered, ¡°¡±Sorry¡­That¡­ The main thing was that she was still young¡­You also know¡­ I¡¯m not even twenty years old yet¡­ It was inevitable that there would be a barrier in his heart¡­ Although it seems like I¡¯ve let you down a little, wait for me to cross this obstacle¡­¡¯ ¡°How long will it take for you to cross over?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly. Anhao was embarrassed. I¡¯m still¡­ Or¡­¡± She raised her hand, and her meaning was obvious.¡±l¡¯ll help you first¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face darkened instantly.¡±¡±l¡¯m going to smoke a cigarette.¡± Anhao was instantly shocked.¡± ¡°Who told you that I don¡¯t smoke?¡± he asked.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen you smoke before¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sneered.¡± There are many things that you haven¡¯t seen before. For example, right now, I don¡¯t need to take a cold shower or use your hands. When I¡¯m sober, I plan to go outside and have some intimate contact with the air that¡¯s more than ten degrees below zero. It¡¯s rare for me to want to smoke a cigarette. Are you going to get to the bottom of it?¡±¡± ¡°That powerful?¡± Anhao snorted. Then why didn¡¯t you plan to go out and have some intimate contact with nature when you almost swallowed me alive just now? If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have helped you through the door and just thrown you outside¡­¡¯ ¡°I must have sobered up and remembered that the wound on your neck hasn¡¯t completely healed. Otherwise, do you think I¡¯m really a saint who doesn¡¯t let you off just because I say so?¡± Anhao was so embarrassed that she didn¡¯t say anything. Then, she muttered fearlessly,¡±¡±Just from the way you almost ate me with the help of alcohol, I¡¯ve never associated you with the image of a Saint¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng was so angry that his eyebrows twitched.¡±lf it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you had just suffered a serious physical and mental injury not long ago¡­¡¯ He paused for a moment.¡± Anhao quietly peeked at his profile.¡±¡±What hundred times¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain. He said before he left the bedroom, ¡°¡±After the injury on your neck heals, even if you cry and shout no, I will tie you to the bed and execute you on the spot!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure disappeared from the door and he closed the bedroom door at the same time. The force used to close the door was obviously not very gentle, not as calm as usual. Tsk tsk, he still drank too much in the end. Even his temper became big! Outside the door, Zuo Yue had run downstairs again. She asked in surprise when she saw Zuo Hancheng walking out with an extremely ugly expression,¡±¡±Eh? Brother, aren¡¯t you asleep?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He glanced at Zuo Yue and said, ¡°¡±Why did you come down again?¡± Anhao was listening attentively to the commotion outside the bedroom when she heard Zuo Yue say,¡±¡±l forgot to close the window when I left during the day. The window has been open for the whole day. Now, the bedroom on the second floor is as cold as an ice cellar. I closed the window and planned to go to sleep when the room gets warmer.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. He casually picked up the long trench coat beside the clothes rack and walked towards the door. Outside, Zuo Yue was surprised and said,¡±Brother, you didn¡¯t really drink too much, did you?¡± It¡¯s so cold and it¡¯s midnight.. Why are you going out?¡± Chapter 170 - Chapter 170: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (4) Chapter 170: Almost Suffering from Her Torturing (4) Translator: 549690339 Outside, Zuo Yue was surprised and said,¡±Brother, you didn¡¯t really drink too much, did you?¡± It¡¯s so cold and it¡¯s midnight. Why are you going out?¡± ¡°Smoke.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you always hate smoking? Why didn¡¯t you sleep in the middle of the night and went out to smoke in the negative temperature? Brother, are you okay? Could it be that he drank too much and damaged his brain?¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue turned around and was about to shout in the direction of the bedroom. She wanted Gu Anhao to come out and bring the drunk Zuo Hancheng back. However, before he could say anything, Zuo Hancheng frowned and shouted,¡±¡±Shut up!¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue immediately shut her mouth, but she still looked at him with a face full of surprise. She kept her mouth shut and muttered a bunch of syllables. He could vaguely hear the tone of his voice saying,¡± Brother, don¡¯t take things too hard. It¡¯s just drinking a little wine. What¡¯s there to take things too hard about? You can¡¯t abuse yourself like this.¡± Zuo Hancheng could not take it anymore. He picked up a black woolen scarf that he rarely used and walked out without looking back. The door was slammed shut with a bang. Zuo Yue was dumbfounded. At this moment, Anhao walked out of the bedroom and glanced in the direction of the door. Zuo Yue turned around and saw Anhao¡¯s expression. She felt that something seemed to have happened between the two of them again. Tsk, what a worrisome couple. At this rate, when would the old master be able to hold his great-grandson? Just as he was thinking, Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and asked, ¡°¡±Sister-in-law, what¡¯s wrong with my brother? Wasn¡¯t he sleeping just now? Why did he go out to smoke?¡± Anhao shrugged her shoulders helplessly.¡¯¡±¡® For a man like Zuo Hancheng, who has been in high spirits for countless years and is also a man who can do anything he wants, it¡¯s inevitable that he will feel depressed when he feels defeated again and again in a certain matter. We have to understand that.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. ¡°Let him smoke. A man standing at a high place accidentally fell. We have to give him some time to heal.¡±As Anhao spoke, she suddenly felt that her entire body was filled with the glory of the Virgin Mary. She didn¡¯t think so before, but now, the more she talked nonsense, the more she felt as if she was sent by the heavens to deal with Zuo Hancheng. Even though Zuo Hancheng was also her enemy, it was much fairer if they were both enemies. At the thought of this, the little bit of guilt in her heart instantly disappeared. She waved her hand at Zuo Yue, who did not know the truth.¡±l¡¯m going to sleep. Bye Zuo Yue raised her hand mechanically. Even when Anhao entered the bedroom door, Zuo Yue still had a dazed expression on her face. Where did her brother fall? She had not heard of any problems with Shengling Group recently, and she had not heard of any major events related to Zuo Hancheng. Why would it suddenly fall? It was really strange¡­ History often repeated itself in a dramatic manner. The next day, when Zuo Hancheng drove Zuo Yue to the airport with Anhao, Zuo Hancheng said that he would be going to S City for a few days on a business trip. He told Anhao that if she was bored staying at home alone, she could go to school for a few days before the official winter vacation. In fact, the school was already on winter break. It was just that they had to collect the final exam results recently. Moreover, because Anhao had an accident on the day of the final exam, the new principal had decided to open up a path for Anhao to take the exam alone, so Anhao could enjoy a different treatment at school recently. The other students could also stay in school for another week because they wanted to get results. Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng did not tell her when he went to S City for a business trip. Although it did not matter whether she knew about it or not because she did not know much about his company, she felt that there was something she should know about S City. For example, she had accidentally heard the words ¡®Miss Rong¡¯ that time¡­ Anhao nodded in agreement while secretly planning to sneak to S City after the make-up exam was over. She wanted to find out what Zuo Hancheng was doing there and what was going on with Miss Rong. Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her as he drove. It was rare for her to agree obediently after he had arranged everything for her. When they arrived at the airport, Zuo Yue reluctantly got out of the car. Although Zuo Hancheng usually did not seem to care much about Zuo Yue, when it was really time to part, he could not help but remind her a few more times and warn her not to do such childish actions like running away from home again. Zuo Yue stuck out her tongue at him, then turned around and pulled Anhao¡¯s back, nagging non-stop. ¡® Sister-in-law, my parents have been busy in the States recently and have no time to come over. However, they already know about you and have been saying that they want to see you. Why don¡¯t you go to the States during the winter vacation and let my parents see you? Also, my old man is so anxious that he can¡¯t wait to throw down his walking stick and fly over to see you, his granddaughter-in-law¡­¡± An Xin felt awkward. She had just digested the fact that she was married not long ago. Now, she was asked to meet her in-laws. She definitely did not have the courage. Seeing that Anhao did not answer directly, Zuo Yue continued, ¡°¡±But even if you don¡¯t go for the time being, my parents will probably take the initiative to visit you soon. After all, my brother has always been cautious. In the end, he suddenly got married. This kind of thing might seem very hasty to others, but my parents will definitely take it to heart. So don¡¯t worry, they might come to see you first¡­ An Xin said. Why am I in such a hurry? I¡¯m already starting to panic when I hear these words, okay? In the end, Zuo Yue pulled her along and said a bunch of miscellaneous things. Finally, when the airport announced that it was about time to board the plane, she waved her hand and turned around to walk in. Although it was a farewell, Anhao felt that Zuo Yue was so carefree because transportation was so convenient now. Perhaps in just a week, Zuo Yue would be unhappy and fly to China again. Anhao felt that this was absolutely possible, so when she waved, she did not feel any sadness of parting. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng watched Zuo Yue¡¯s back until Zuo Yue had safely entered the departure lounge before he turned around and got into the car. Sitting in the car, Anhao glanced at his handsome side profile.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Usually, you¡¯re indifferent to Zuo Yue. Now that she¡¯s gone, you can¡¯t bear to part with her?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Then what were you thinking about just now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m wondering what kind of ideas you were hiding under your obedient and obedient expression just now.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. I accepted your arrangement and obediently went to school to take the make-up exam and live on campus while you were on a business trip. How can you be sure that I have any evil ideas in mind?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, don¡¯t you know that your eyes will widen when you lie?¡± Chapter 171 - Chapter 171: Chapter 171: You Miss Me, Hm? (1) Chapter 171: Chapter 171: You Miss Me, Hm? (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao widened her eyes in surprise. My eyes have always been very big. This isn¡¯t staring, this is called being born beautiful and not giving up!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and did not intend to argue with her. At this moment, Anhao¡¯s phone rang with the sound of a text message. She looked at Zuo Hancheng provocatively again and picked up her phone to take a look. The text message was from Zuo Yue. Looking at the time, Zuo Yue should be boarding in a few minutes. ¡® Sister-in-law, I almost forgot to tell you that next Friday is my brother¡¯s birthday. It¡¯s his 30th birthday.¡¯ After reading the content of the message, she quietly put away her phone and stole a glance at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile. What about next Friday? It was January 9th. It was the day after the make-up exam arranged for her by the school, but Zuo Hancheng should be in S City at that time. How was she going to celebrate his birthday with him in S City? Moreover, he obviously had no intention of telling her. Zuo Yue suddenly told him this, obviously wanting him to give Zuo Hancheng a big birthday surprise. This big surprise could only be completed in S City, so¡­This was a hint from the heavens that she was destined to go to S City. The principal of A High was surnamed Lin. It was said that he was a successful person in his fifties with a very powerful background who had been transferred from the Provincial Education Bureau. When Anhao returned to school for her make-up exam, the other students were collecting their final exam results. Anhao was the only one sitting in the classroom under Principal Lin¡¯s personal supervision. Moreover, her test results for each subject were checked by a professional marking teacher within an hour after she handed in her papers. On the day that all the students received their exam results, Anhao also officially received her final exam results at just past four in the afternoon. What shocked everyone was that she had really completed the paper alone under Principal Lin¡¯s strict supervision. Although her results did not reach 100% accuracy, according to the ranking of the school year, Anhao jumped from the last place in the entire third year of high school to the top 50. This kind of result was already shocking enough, and even Anhao didn¡¯t expect that she could really do it. Han Ru had been expelled from school, and for some reason, no one could find her. Her results, which were not considered real, were naturally invalid. A few days ago, the principal had been investigated by the Education Bureau and confessed that he had taken money from many students ¡®parents. He had also taken a lot of money from the Han family, which was why Han Ru had been able to keep her first place. In fact, Han Rut s academic performance was not very good. All the truths were revealed in just a few days. Anhao went back to her dormitory with her final results in satisfaction, preparing to pack her things and start her winter vacation. ¡°Anhao, what are you planning to do this winter break? My mom said that we¡¯re already in our third year of high school and will be preparing to go to university in half a year. She wants me to be an intern at my dad¡¯s company.¡± In the milk tea shop outside the school, Chunchun, who had also packed her things and was preparing to officially start her winter vacation tomorrow, said dejectedly. Anhao bit the straw in her milk tea cup.¡±I¡¯ve spent more than a month in a cruel and inhumane life of continuous tutoring in order to get my final exam results. I definitely won¡¯t abuse myself that much. I plan to sleep at home for a few days and then plan how to spend the next two months of winter vacation.¡± Huang Amao stirred the milk tea in the cup with a straw and said dejectedly, ¡°¡±l¡¯ve been looking forward to the holidays, but my parents also said that they were going to let me go to my uncle¡¯s company for an internship. They even said that it was to gain social experience in advance so that I wouldn¡¯t be too fragile when I first entered society. Just thinking about it makes me drunk¡­¡± ¡°You two should be content.¡± Anhao glanced at them.¡± At least your parents are still thinking about your future. They arranged for you to go to various places for internship and observation in advance. A wild child like me who has no one to care for has yet to cry to you. Why are you crying to me?¡±¡± ¡°Who said you don¡¯t care? Don¡¯t you still have Zuo Hancheng?¡± Chunchun rolled her eyes at her.¡± For a national male god like President Zuo to appear on the same marriage certificate as you, it means that you must have saved the entire universe in your previous life!¡¯¡±¡® Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. It would have been fine if she did not mention Zuo Hancheng. However, the moment she mentioned him, she remembered that Zuo Hancheng had been in S City for four days. She had sent him a message yesterday to ask when he would be back, but he had not replied or called her back. She was still considering whether she should go to S City to give him a surprise secretly¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right, Anhao, you can ask President Zuo to take you on a holiday trip. At least you won¡¯t have to go to a relative¡¯s company for an internship like us.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± It¡¯s already good enough that Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t force me to go to Shengling Group for an internship. Do you really think he would be so free to take me on a vacation?¡¯¡±¡® ¡± Tsk tsk, I wonder how many top students who came back from studying abroad want to enter Shengling Group. In the end, Shengling Group might not even give them an intern position. Gu Anhao, how many people are you trying to kill with envy¡­¡± Anhao stopped talking and lowered her head to sigh. Forget it. Everyone thought that she would become the happiest woman in the world after marrying Zuo Hancheng. Who would have thought that she had lost contact with Zuo Hancheng for more than 24 hours now? Moreover, she was preparing to go to S City to celebrate Zuo Hancheng¡¯s birthday. The most important thing was that she had no idea what her husband was doing in S City, and Miss Rong, who had always made her suspicious¡­ She wasn¡¯t the happiest woman in the eyes of others. Right now, she was clearly a little resentful woman holding a milk tea cup and wanting to bite the straw into pieces. At night, Anhao had just finished her call with Lin Qing. She asked about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s current residence and room number in S City. It seemed that the identity of Mrs. Zuo could still do things that many people could not. For example, she could even ask for the room number. No one else could do it. Just as Anhao was searching for the hotel Zuo Hancheng was staying at online, Zuo Hancheng, who had been out of contact with her for nearly 30 hours, called her. ¡°I heard that you did well in the make-up exam. I¡¯ll reward you when I get back. ¡± ¡°Do I still need you to reward me? The house and the card are in my hands now. You¡¯re not going to be so generous as to give me Shengling Group, are you?¡±Anhao smiled as she clicked her mouse and booked the room opposite Zuo Hancheng¡¯s room. At the same time, she placed an order. Then, she continued to chat with him as if nothing had happened. Zuo Hancheng sounded a little tired. He must have called her when he finally had time to rest. Seeing that he could still call her when he was so tired, Anhao decided to go to S City and give him a big surprise.. She definitely wouldn¡¯t cause trouble for him! Chapter 172 - Chapter 172: Miss Me, Hm? (2) Chapter 172: Miss Me, Hm? (2) Translator: 549690339 S City, as one of the most prosperous coastal cities closest to A City, Anhao took a car all the way to the hotel she had booked previously- -the tallest building in the bustling city center of S City, Shengshi Pearl Resort Hotel. Just by looking at this majestic seven-star hotel building, one could imagine how luxurious Zuo Hancheng had been staying in such a place for several days. Furthermore, he was staying in the presidential suite! When she entered the hotel, the hotel staff saw that she was dressed like a student and wondered why this young lady would book such a good hotel. It was not until Anhao took out the card that Zuo Hancheng gave her and the staff saw the gold card in her hand that they did not dare to look at her with puzzled eyes. They thought that she was the daughter of a famous businessman or something else. After checking in, Anhao first ran to her room and put down her suitcase. She turned around and walked to the door to secretly look outside. The room opposite was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s presidential suite, and although her room was not a presidential suite, it was definitely one of the luxurious and high-end rooms. She leaned on the noble door and secretly looked outside. She saw that there were very few people on this floor, and only the cleaners and room service staff passing by occasionally. It was indeed a low-key and quiet place. She wondered if she would meet some city leader or a famous movie star if she stood here for a while longer. Just as her imagination was running wild, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang, giving her a shock. She lowered her head abruptly and saw that it was Zuo Hancheng who was calling her. She felt guilty and stole a glance at the opposite room. Then, she slowly picked up the phone and tried her best to speak in a natural voice.¡±Hello?¡± It was very quiet on the other end of the phone. She could only vaguely hear that there was a meeting not far away. Some people were discussing something in a very serious tone. She could not hear it clearly, but she could hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s faint breathing over the phone. ¡°Where is it?¡± He suddenly asked as soon as the call came in, and his tone seemed a little serious. Anhao was stunned for a moment. She quickly looked at the other side and made sure that Zuo Hancheng was not inside, and that no one she knew knew knew knew that she was here. She lied,¡±¡®I just took a make-up exam yesterday and finally relaxed. I must be at home doing a facial mask and watching TV!¡± The man on the other end of the phone snorted.¡±Do you think that after you called Lin Qing and asked for my whereabouts, Lin Qing wouldn¡¯t tell me about your abnormal actions?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao choked and said embarrassedly,¡±¡±Why does Lin Qing tell you everything¡­¡¯ ¡°She¡¯s my secretary. If she doesn¡¯t report to me, it would be her dereliction of duty.¡± Alright then¡­ Anhao was helpless. She scratched her forehead and smiled awkwardly.¡±¡±l¡¯m just concerned about your schedule. I don¡¯t have any other intentions. This doesn¡¯t conflict with me watching TV and enjoying life at home with a mask on. ¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I didn¡¯t come out to call you during the meeting to listen to you lie.¡± Anhao looked at the door in front of her unwillingly and was even more confused. ¡°What exactly do you know¡­¡± She clearly wanted to sneak over to give him a big surprise. Why did he seem to know everything when she had just checked into this hotel? ¡°Three hours ago, you took the high-speed rail from A City to S City. You arrived in S City 45 minutes ago and paid the deposit at the Shengshi Pearl Hotel ten minutes ago.¡¯Do you think I¡¯m as stupid as you?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked patiently.¡±Do you think I can¡¯t read the spending tips on my phone?¡¯ Anhao gasped. She had actually forgotten such an important thing! The bank¡¯s notification system for spending via text messages was really too equal. No matter who it was, they could bind their mobile phone to the card when they first applied for it, and they would receive a notification for spending via text messages after each transaction with the bank card. So her gold card was bound to his phone, so he could find her so easily? Anhao wanted to cry but had no tears. She wanted to give him a surprise, but it suddenly became her own shock. She could only say in a slow voice,¡±l haven¡¯t seen you for a few days. I miss you, okay? That¡¯s why I specially came to look for you¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Hancheng gradually smiled on the other end of the phone. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±You want to lie in front of ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re amazing, you¡¯re the best! I¡¯m right opposite your presidential suite now. How about it? Can you send me back to A City? I¡¯m on vacation now. You won¡¯t chase me away so inhumanely, right?¡± ¡± It¡¯s officially winter vacation!¡± ¡°Of course. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that I did very well in the make-up exam. I¡¯m currently in the stage of relaxation and stress relief. You can¡¯t possibly not give me this little bit of freedom, right?¡± Fortunately, she did not use his card when she ordered the cake to show her sincerity. Otherwise, he would have known about this little gesture beforehand. At this moment, someone suddenly called him from the other end of the phone, as if saying something, President Zuo, everyone is waiting for you¡­ ¡°Be good and rest in the hotel. Don¡¯t run around and wait for me to return.¡± Zuo Hancheng instructed Anhao on the other end of the phone as he walked towards the meeting room. He actually didn¡¯t have any objections. Although she was already tired of listening to this kind of patient exhortation, she still felt a little sweet in her heart at this moment. She smiled and nodded.¡±¡±Yes.¡± After hanging up the phone, Anhao turned around and went into her room. She finally had the time to look around her especially luxurious room. She walked to the bed and threw herself on it. She threw herself into the soft and comfortable bed and let out a long sigh of enjoyment.¡±The life of a rich person is really too good. As long as you have money, you can stay in this kind of hotel for the rest of your life. There are even people who clean the room for free and provide all kinds of delicious food for free. Just thinking about it makes me so happy¡­¡± She suddenly turned around and looked at the door. Her fingers playfully flicked her legs.¡±l wonder what the presidential suite looks like. Will it be many times bigger than this room?¡± However, since he had come here specially to celebrate Zuo Hancheng¡¯s birthday, he could not waste all his time on enjoying himself. She didn¡¯t seem to be very sincere about ordering only one cake. She took out her phone and searched for topics like ¡± What kind of gift would make my husband the happiest on his birthday?¡± However, all the similar answers displayed on the internet were actually so unified! ¡®You can change into the most sexy pajamas, tie your hands and feet with ribbons and tie them into a bow before giving them to your husband. That¡¯s the best gift- Chapter 173 - Chapter 173: Miss Me, Hm? (3) Chapter 173: Miss Me, Hm? (3) Translator: 549690339 No, no, this can¡¯t do! Anhao deliberately ignored the most ¡± appropriate ¡± suggestions and continued to search again. ¡®Spread the cream on the cake all over your body and lie on the bed waiting for your husband to come back and enjoy it¡­¡¯ Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned black. What kind of search engine was she using? Why was all the content she found so f * cked up?! She pointed her middle finger at the screen of her phone and continued to change! ¡®If you are a diligent and down-to-earth housewife, then turn yourself from a housewife into a prostitute. I guarantee that your husband will be very satisfied with your change today. If you usually pay attention to the convenience and harmony between husband and wife, then you can prepare a sumptuous dinner for your husband on this day.¡¯ Dinner¡­ This seemed simple, but to Gu Anhao, it was too difficult. She had already shown her timidity in front of Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, this was not her home. Even if there was a simple kitchen in this apartment, she had no intention of cooking to poison his stomach. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a small advertisement that popped up on the webpage. The content was about true love forever and wedding rings¡­ Her eyes lit up and she looked down at her empty fingers and the bracelet that Zuo Hancheng had given her. Since Zuo Hancheng had no intention of getting married again, and she had started to like him and care about him, even though they were already married, the marriage did not start normally. Not to mention the wedding, there was no proposal ring. Who said that only men could propose? She did not take the setting between men and women seriously at all. At the thought of this, she slapped the bed and got up. It was decided! Cake and ring! It was the perfect way to flirt with her idol! Two hours later. On the bustling commercial street of S City, in front of an internationally renowned jewelry store. Anhao pushed open the door and walked out. She lowered her head and looked at her own bag. Thinking of the 26,000 yuan man¡¯s ring in her bag, she felt her heart ache. Twenty-six thousand yuan was all her savings. No one knew that she had saved up all the salary she had earned from selling alcohol in the bar for more than a year. In this year, she had saved up such a secret little vault, a little vault that even Chunchun and Huang Amao did not know about. She had saved up 26,000 yuan for a whole year. When she only had 30 yuan a day, she was not willing to touch this small treasury. In the end, she had spent it all in one go today. Just now, when he was choosing the ring to pay, he felt that this small token was nothing to show his sincerity. However, after walking out of the door, her footsteps became heavy. That was 26,000 yuan!!!! Anhao almost roared into the sky! She then looked at the bracelet on her wrist, which was so beautiful that many girls passing by her could not help but look at it. She thought about the price of this bracelet and then thought about the ring that she had only spent more than 20,000 yuan on. Forget it. Zuo Hancheng had given her a gold card and a house. No matter how stingy she was, she had to be generous on his birthday. This was probably because Zuo Hancheng had always been generous to her. That was why she was so generous to him! If it were anyone else, she wouldn¡¯t even be willing to fork out six thousand! After comforting herself, she slowly walked to the roadside. She could only spend her own money because she could not let Zuo Hancheng find out that she was near to the jewelry store on the business street. She touched her pocket and sighed. She turned around and walked straight to the bus stop. She had never celebrated anyone¡¯s birthday so extravagantly in her life. Her heart ached! This was the money she had saved up for a year, unlike some people who earned more than this in the blink of an eye. Anhao returned to the hotel with a hand over her heart. As soon as she reached the entrance of the hotel, she saw a limousine parked in front of the door. Just as she was wondering who was in the car, she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure getting out of the car. She was stunned. She did not expect him to come back so early. It was only four in the afternoon. He was so busy in S City that she thought he would only be back at midnight, so she ordered the cakes to be delivered at midnight. Just as she was about to walk over and greet him, she saw a few more people getting out of the car. Those people were dressed in extraordinary clothes. They should be high-level people from some company. Moreover, there were two luxury nanny vans following behind the car. He didn¡¯t know how grand these people were. ¡°President Zuo, I¡¯ve really troubled you with this matter. I didn¡¯t expect it to end up like this. I¡¯m sorry for delaying your time for so long.¡± A man in a black suit came out of the car and spoke to Zuo Hancheng politely and respectfully. Anhao did not continue to listen to the conversation between Zuo Hancheng and them. She tactfully turned around and ran into the hotel when no one was paying attention. Zuo Hancheng exchanged a few words with the CEO of Yixing before he shook hands with him politely and said goodbye. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the figure that sneaked into the hotel like a little mouse from the corner of his eye. He withdrew his hand without batting an eyelid, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°Then we won¡¯t bother you anymore. Since this matter has already come to such an end, let¡¯s just leave it to us to deal with the Merika side. After all, this matter is the responsibility of Yi Xing. There¡¯s really no reason for President Zuo to continue wasting time with us.¡± ¡°I understand, I understand. This matter was indeed our own decision. In the end, we had to trouble President Zuo to personally come to S City twice to resolve it.¡± After exchanging a few more pleasantries, MobMobai walked up to Zuo Hancheng and whispered,¡±¡±President Zuo, I¡¯ve already asked someone to print out the online letter from City A. Should I send it to your room or¡­¡± ¡°Send it to my room.¡± After Zuo Hancheng replied, he smiled faintly at the CEO of Yixing and turned around to walk into the main entrance of the hotel. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already gone in, it seemed that there was no way to progress on that matter from his attitude from the beginning to the end. President Zuo did not relent at all, and such a large amount of talent was about to be ruined. Of course, Zuo Hancheng did not feel bad, but as the CEO of Yixing, his heart ached a lot.. How could President Zuo reject such a good resource like Miss Rong? Chapter 174 - Chapter 174: Did You Miss Me? (4) Chapter 174: Did You Miss Me? (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo, is Miss Rong¡¯s matter settled?¡± Mobai followed Zuo Hancheng into the elevator. He had received a request from Yi Xing, so he couldn¡¯t help but ask. Zuo Hancheng stood in the elevator and looked at Mobai through the mirror.¡±¡±You¡¯ve been by my side for more than two days. Do you think I¡¯ll make other decisions?¡± ¡°President Zuo, you must have your own reasons for your decision, but¡­¡± Mobai hesitated for a moment.¡± Miss Rong has been insisting on staying in the country recently. She has tried to find you many times but failed to see you. Aren¡¯t we too heartless in this matter?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Heartless?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t I think so?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked with a faint smile.¡± Mobai was stunned. He thought of what Miss Rong had done many years ago in America, and then he thought of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold attitude towards Miss Rong. Then, he suddenly thought of Gu Anhao, who he had just seen in front of the hotel. ¡± The media in the United States will probably give a lot of coverage based on the recent big events. After all, Miss Rong has a very high reputation in Hollywood in recent years, and her relationship with you, President Zuo, has long been reported by the media. It¡¯s the beginning of the year now, and there¡¯s not much entertainment news that¡¯s too hot to attract people¡¯s attention. However, for the first time, Miss Rong has been rejected by you when she returned to the country to develop her career. I¡¯m afraid that the United States will¡­¡± ¡°The American media has always been liberal. It¡¯s useless even if I forcefully suppress it. The entertainment industry was just that kind of industry. Everyone understood that since she was willing to give up everything to enter it, all the public opinion she had to face now was her own choice. There was no reason for me to pay for her.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Mobai finally understood what he meant. He fell silent and nodded. The elevator door opened with a ¡®ding¡¯, and Zuo Hancheng walked out without looking back. As he watched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back, Mobai walked out of the elevator. He was about to return to his room to rest for a while and organize the details of everything that had happened over the past few days when he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. MobMobai picked up his phone and looked at the number. He frowned slightly and looked up to see that Zuo Hancheng had already walked out of the room. He turned around and walked towards the door opposite his room. Mobai picked up the phone and placed it beside his ear. He tried to speak in a low voice,¡±¡±Hello? Miss Rong?¡± ¡°Mobai, has Hancheng returned to the hotel? When are you going back to A City? Can I see him? Just one meeting!¡± A woman¡¯s voice came from the phone. Mobai glanced in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction and said softly,¡±¡±l¡¯m sorry, Miss Rong. President Zuo has some private matters to attend to at the moment and can¡¯t make time to see you.¡± ¡± Mobai, you were in America back then, and you know about the things between me and him. Now that you understand me, please help me since we¡¯re old friends. I don¡¯t have to talk about the contract, but he¡¯s been avoiding me for so long. I just want to see him and talk about the things between us. I don¡¯t want to get involved with work or anything else.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Miss Rong, President Zuo really doesn¡¯t have time¡­¡± ¡°All this time, you¡¯ve been using the excuse that you don¡¯t have time to fool me. Do you think I¡¯m that easy to fool? He knows my personality. I¡¯m not a person who pesters too much, but I have to see him this time.¡± Mobai sighed helplessly. Hearing Mobai¡¯s sigh, the woman on the other end of the phone could tell that his heart had softened a little. After all, although Mobai was strict and serious in his work, his personality was too kind and honest. This was the only opportunity she could seize. ¡°Tomorrow is Hancheng¡¯s birthday. I want to prepare some gifts for him tomorrow. Can you let me see him?¡± Anhao hid the ring that she had bought in her room first. After checking that Zuo Hancheng would not find it, she sat on the sofa to rest. She thought that Zuo Hancheng would be discussing something with those people and would not be back so soon. She had just sat on the sofa to rest for less than a minute when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She was stunned. There was a doorbell in the room. Who was this? Why didn¡¯t he even ring the doorbell? Puzzled, she walked over and opened the door a little to look outside. Suddenly, she saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of her room door. He had one hand on the door and the other hand in his pocket. When she peeked out through the crack of the door, he stood in front of the door and watched her childish behavior with a faint smile. As soon as she met his gaze, Anhao felt as if she had done something bad and was exposed. Perhaps she had gotten used to being a rebellious and bad child in the past few years. She was always caught in school, so even though she was here to deliver a surprise, she still felt as if she had been caught. She was inexplicably nervous and embarrassed. However, the door was already open, so she could only open it completely and walk out. ¡°Are you done?¡± Seeing her embarrassed and slightly blushing expression, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows in a good mood and chuckled.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Do you want me to come back in the middle of the night?¡± ¡°No, I thought you were very busy here and would probably be busy until late.¡±Anhao pursed her lips. ¡°Are you planning to stand at the door and talk to your husband?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her meaningfully. Anhao paused for a moment before she reacted. She quickly moved to the side and opened the door. After Zuo Hancheng entered the room, she was stunned for a moment. That¡¯s not right. His room was just opposite. Why didn¡¯t he invite her to his room to take a look? Why did he come to her room? Before she could ask, Zuo Hancheng had already walked into her room and turned around to look at her.¡±¡±Why are you standing at the door like a statue? Come here.¡± Anhao walked over to him and said,¡±¡±How did you know my exam results so quickly? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve arranged some spies in A High School? Or, could it be that our new Principal Lin is one of your people?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly cried out in surprise. Zuo Hancheng had already reached out and pulled her into his arms. He bent down and kissed her ear, then turned the kiss to her lips. Anhao¡¯s face turned hot as her hair brushed against her ears, but she didn¡¯t push him away. Instead, she allowed him to hug her in his arms and heard his gentle and hoarse voice beside her ear,¡±¡±What are you doing in S City? Did you miss me? Hmm?¡± Anhao lowered her head in his arms in embarrassment and whispered, ¡°¡±Don¡¯t flatter yourself. This is a short vacation and I happened to choose S City.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled, and his chest that was pressed against hers trembled slightly, causing her heart to tremble..¡±¡±Little thing, you don¡¯t mean what you say¡­¡± Chapter 175 - Chapter 175: Damn Little Fairy (1) Chapter 175: Damn Little Fairy (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng chuckled, and his chest that was pressed against hers trembled slightly, causing her heart to tremble.¡±¡±Little thing, you don¡¯t mean what you say¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t resist his embrace. She felt that since she had chosen to come to S City to ¡± catch an adulterer¡±, she should really face her feelings. City to ¡± catch an adulterer ¡°, she should really face her feelings. If she didn¡¯t like him or care about him, why would she act like a woman? She didn¡¯t even dare to think about catching an adulterer in the past. She leaned her head on his shoulder and suddenly felt that she was greedily breathing in his unique scent. It was a unique fragrance that belonged to a man. It smelled good and gave people a special sense of security. Wenner said that she was afraid of the trauma of her childhood because she lacked a sense of security. She should look for something that could make her feel safe. So, was Zuo Hancheng one of her security now? She suddenly raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck. When Zuo Hancheng bent down and kissed her lips, she grinned. ¡°I¡¯ve been staying at home alone for a few days. It¡¯s so boring. Zuo Yue has returned to America, and you¡¯re on a business trip. It¡¯s such a big house with so many rooms upstairs and downstairs. I¡¯m so lonely Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. He was about to kiss her when he suddenly sniffed her face. When Anhao stared at him in confusion, he chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re suddenly so obedient. Let me smell it and see if there¡¯s a conspiracy.¡± All the enthusiasm that Anhao had been brewing was instantly doused by his bucket of cold water. She rolled her eyes and was about to push him away, but he suddenly hugged her even tighter and kissed her on the hairline.¡±lf you miss me, just say it. Is there a need to be so reserved?¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? The word reserved has nothing to do with me, okay?¡±Anhao protested. ¡°Aren¡¯t you being reserved recently? You clearly like her to death, but you still want to resist her. You are definitely a cat.¡± ¡°What is cat nature?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment and asked with a confused expression. Zuo Hancheng caressed her hair, which had grown two to three centimeters longer than her ears, as if he was treating a child.¡¯¡±¡®The more you like something, the more you have to ravage it first, but you just can¡¯t show your love.¡± So this was the nature of a cat! So arrogant? She only understood what Zuo Hancheng meant after she had reacted for a while. It turned out that he had long seen through her feelings for him, but he had to tease her while watching her struggle. In the end, he had long understood her thoroughly. ¡°Did you learn psychology from Wenner?¡± she asked.¡± ¡°Understanding your wife¡¯s characteristics is the most basic sensory skill. Do you need to learn this?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that¡­So¡­It¡¯s accurate¡­¡± When she said the last two words, Anhao felt that her face was so red that she was about to explode. The moment Zuo Hancheng laughed, she stood up abruptly and turned to look at him. ¡°No, no, I¡¯m not here to tell you these things. I¡¯m here to¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, he pulled her back abruptly and she fell onto his lap. Anhao felt as if all the awkward little secrets that she couldn¡¯t bear to see in her heart had been exposed. She did not understand. Wasn¡¯t it just love? Why was she so awkward and unwilling to admit it? She did not put in so much effort when she confessed to Yi Zeyang back then. How could she admit that she had feelings for Zuo Hancheng now? She felt as if she was about to be burned red. This person was her husband! Why would she be embarrassed? Anhao tried her best to prepare herself mentally and looked at him with a pair of calm and serious eyes.¡±l¡¯m really here for business.¡± ¡°What business?¡± Zuo Hancheng held her tightly in his arms. Perhaps it was because he was too tired from the past few days in S City and did not have the energy to tease her now, so he just hugged her and enjoyed this moment of warmth and peace. Anhao could tell that although he didn¡¯t show it on purpose, she could still feel his tiredness from his eyes and actions. She felt that she couldn¡¯t be too pretentious now, so she sat quietly in his arms obediently. To ease the awkwardness in her heart, she suddenly raised her hand to grab her hair and tucked it back twice. She tilted her head to look at him. ¡°Look at my hair. Can I tie it up a little? Even though it¡¯s still short, at least I can tie it up at the back. If I use a small hair clip on both sides of my hair, I should look like a woman, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng could feel the way this little girl was trying to change the topic. He chuckled.¡±Can you change the way you change the topic?¡± Anhao put her hand down from her hair and was about to retort, but Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to argue with him at all. He pressed her little head down and kissed her lips heavily. Anhao felt dizzy from the kiss and was suddenly pressed down onto the bed by him. He held her firmly under his body from above. When she did not intend to resist, he slid his kiss to the side of her neck and said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±Little vixen, did you change your shower gel?¡± Gu Anhao was surprised that he could detect her scent even though she had just changed to a new bottle of shower gel with a different fragrance. However, the words that came out of her mouth were still full of Gu Anhao¡¯s characteristics.¡± No, no, with your CEO setting, you should be hugging me and saying, ¡®You damn little vixen!¡¯ That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°What else?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± ¡°Also¡­¡± Anhao kept thinking about the classic lines in the CEO¡¯s novels. Suddenly, she had an idea and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s more! As the CEO, the male lead should stand in front of the female lead with a devilish look on his face and say,¡±Baby, are you satisfied with what you see?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and pressed his lips against hers. He said in a low voice,¡±¡±What do you want to see?¡± It was only then that Anhao realized that she had fallen into his trap again. She immediately howled in dissatisfaction and was about to bite him. Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and sealed her mouth when she gritted her teeth and tried to bite his neck. When she made a sound of resistance and raised her hand to hit his shoulder, he directly locked her hands on the top of her head. Anhao stared at him in shock and started to speak incoherently,¡±¡±l didn¡¯t take a few hours to come here to satisfy your one-sided private desires! You can¡¯t be such a bird!¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and looked at her with a dark gaze. Just as Anhao felt like she was about to be burned by his gaze, he rubbed his lips against hers and said,¡±¡±Other than satisfying your husband¡¯s selfish desires, what other serious business do you have to do?¡± ¡°If I say there¡¯s something serious, then there must be something! Could it be that satisfying you is the proper thing to do?¡± Zuo Hancheng continued to restrain her well-behaved hands on top of her head. He lowered his head and kissed her softly by her ear.¡±To me, it¡¯s more important to deal with you now..¡± Chapter 176 - Chapter 176: Damned Little Fairy (2) Chapter 176: Damned Little Fairy (2) Translator: 549690339 As a weird couple, Anhao had to admit that it was unbelievable that he hadn¡¯t done it himself. However, did this also mean that his resistance was strong and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s self-control was strong? Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a pain in her head. She let out a low cry in shock and quickly raised her hand to cover her head as she glared at the man who had suddenly flicked her head for some reason. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng got up and pulled her up. Anhao was surprised that he had let go of the meat that was about to reach her mouth so easily. At the same time, she rubbed her head and said,¡± What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you off first.¡¯ As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng casually tidied up his slightly messy collar and casually touched the exquisite buttons on his sleeves. It seemed like he still had something important to do, so he couldn¡¯t go out in such a disheveled manner. ¡°Do you still have something to do?¡± ¡°In half an hour, there¡¯s an exhibition to attend in the City Hall. It¡¯ll take about two hours, so I¡¯ll be back around seven.¡±Zuo Hancheng tidied his clothes and placed his hand on Anhao¡¯s head.¡±¡±l was afraid that you would get impatient waiting in the hotel, so I took some time to come back and see you.¡± ¡°No wonder. I knew it was impossible for you to come back so early¡­¡± Anhao nodded as she spoke, but she suddenly rolled her eyes at him.¡± Don¡¯t make it sound so nice. You¡¯re obviously here to spy on me, afraid that I¡¯ll run around. I¡¯m not stupid. I¡¯m not familiar with the people and places in S City, so I definitely won¡¯t run around when it¡¯s dark. A beautiful girl like me has a strong sense of self-preservation. Besides, even if there are some hooligans who rob me of money and sex, they might not be able to defeat me.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re hungry tonight, you can eat directly. You don¡¯t have to wait for me to come back.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± ¡°Do you have anything else to do after you come back at seven?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any other arrangements for the time being. I¡¯ll go to the Provincial Chamber of Commerce tomorrow afternoon to sign some annual procedures related to a few subsidiary companies before I can return to City A.¡±Zuo Hancheng answered patiently. ¡°Then, we¡¯ve agreed that you¡¯ll only be out in the afternoon tomorrow. Your time from tonight to tomorrow morning will be mine ¡°What?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Wanting to walk around S City? You want me to find time to accompany you?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not interested in S City. It¡¯s not as big as A City, and it¡¯s not as beautiful as A City. Anyway, I¡¯ll take your time tonight and tomorrow morning. You¡¯re not allowed to share it with others.¡± It was rare for this little girl, who had always deliberately put a line of defense between them, to have such an intimate and childish request. Zuo Hancheng smiled, his eyes full of gentleness and indulgence.¡±Alright, it¡¯s yours. Not only is the time yours, but tonight¡¯s person is also yours.¡± Anhao pretended not to understand and got up.¡± Do you have a computer in your room? Lend one for me. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be bored in my room alone.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°I¡¯ll get Mobai to bring you the spare laptop later.¡± ¡°Mobai¡¯s computer?¡± Anhao poured two glasses of water and said,¡±¡±Could there be any trade secrets that I can¡¯t see?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t. The matter that he came to S City to deal with this time had nothing to do with the so-called trade secrets in the company. It was just some trivial matters.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao turned around and handed him a glass that was half-filled with water. When he took it and smiled, she stole a glance at his shirt and collar. The quality of this man¡¯s clothes was really good. The creases that had been pressed out by him earlier had disappeared without a trace. He was still so clean, handsome, and good-looking that people couldn¡¯t help but stare at him. It was impossible to tell if he had been with an ex-girlfriend or some other woman in private. Although she said that she was here to catch him cheating and give him a birthday surprise, she didn¡¯t seem to ask too much. She saw a faint smile in his eyes, and he didn¡¯t look guilty at all. Oh, so maybe she was overthinking things. Maybe it was because Miss Rong, whom she had never seen or heard of, had a huge impact on her heart. He had never heard Zuo Hancheng mention Miss Rong. Perhaps Yi Zeyang had only said some harsh words to persuade him to leave Zuo Hancheng. Or perhaps she had trusted Yi Zeyang too much, so she had always thought that Rongxue was a scary ex-girlfriend. Moreover, there were so many people with the surname Rong in this world. It should be just a coincidence. Anyway, she had only heard about it. Zuo Hancheng drank some water and placed the glass cup on the bedside cabinet. Anhao picked it up and placed it back on the coffee table beside the sofa. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you so obedient and sensible at home?¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed softly behind her.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always been very obedient, okay?¡± Anhao turned around and took out a report card from her bag on the sofa.¡±¡±Then, look, you told me to study hard and improve my grades. There are more than a thousand students in our third year of high school. It¡¯s already very impressive to climb from the last place to the top 50!¡± ¡°There¡¯s more.¡± Anhao raised her hand and played with her hair.¡±¡±You were the one who asked me to keep my hair, right? Look, I haven¡¯t had my hair cut in months! You don¡¯t let me drink, so I¡¯m controlling myself. You don¡¯t let me swear, so I¡¯m controlling myself! You won¡¯t let me go out and fool around with those scoundrels. You won¡¯t let me go to the bar. When did I not listen to you? I¡¯m so obedient!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted. He did not have the slightest admiration for her performance and all kinds of proof. He only glanced at her and said,¡±¡±Other than the fact that your results are indeed worthy of praise, which other point isn¡¯t your difficult disguise? When had he ever truly been convinced?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and angrily put the report card back into her bag while muttering softly, ¡°¡±What kind of person is he? He¡¯s so domineering and correcting a lot of my habits. I can¡¯t just obey him, but he has to be convinced? Army-style management? Do you have to be so strict!¡± Zuo Hancheng heard her grumbling and chuckled.¡±¡±From the moment you appeared in front of me wearing that wig and looking like a hooligan, I¡¯ve already accepted the responsibility of completely transforming you. This is the ultimate goal, not management.¡± ¡°You actually set a final goal? Why didn¡¯t you set a barrier on me? I quit drinking today. Not bad, you¡¯ve successfully cleared the stage! Tomorrow¡¯s results had improved. Not bad, he had successfully passed the difficulty level! In the end, she directly advanced to become a white lotus princess! Everyone is happy, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Zuo Hancheng, even if you¡¯re serious about changing me, you can¡¯t change my nature! No matter where I reach, I will never become a little princess. At most, I will be a little mud in the lotus pond! If you don¡¯t want it, I won¡¯t serve you!¡± ¡°Little Mud?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and laughed at her weird self-comparison.. Chapter 177 - Chapter 177: Damn Little Fairy (3) Chapter 177: Damn Little Fairy (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°That¡¯s right. Don¡¯t end up failing in the transformation and end up in a state where you can¡¯t get rid of the mud. At that time, it¡¯ll be too late for you to regret it. ¡°Anhao put her bag away and turned around to look into his eyes. Obviously, Anhao¡¯s metaphor was not very beautiful, and the way she used it was not something that a normal person¡¯s brain could understand. However, the person in front of her was Zuo Hancheng. He could tell what the little girl was trying to say the moment he raised his eyebrows. He immediately laughed and said, ¡°Come here, let me see if this mud of yours has the magical effect of evolving into a piece of unpolished jade.¡± Anhao walked over and stood in front of Zuo Hancheng the moment he got up from the bed. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with profound interest. He looked at her and raised his hand to pat her face. He praised,¡±With my keen business senses over the years, I¡¯m sure that the most exquisite jade in the world is hidden in the mud that I picked up from the roadside. If I cut open the mud layer myself, one day, this little mud will be so beautiful that it will shock the world.¡± To Anhao, the conversation between the two of them was still as usual. It could be summarized as the daily life of an awl?vard couple. However, her eyes were shining as she looked at the man in front of her with a meaningful smile. ¡°Are you so sure that my change will have such a good effect?¡± Zuo Hancheng put down his hand that was caressing her cheek.¡±¡±Your changes are most effective on yourself.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Anhao was stunned. ¡°Let go of the past that made you fall and become more rebellious. Let yourself become better, and the future will be brighter. This is taking responsibility for your own life. It has nothing to do with anyone else.¡± Anhao listened for a long time without saying anything. After a long time, she looked straight into his eyes and said,¡±¡±On the account that you have a good relationship with me, I will believe you this time¡­ ¡°Just trust me.¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and smiled. He looked at the time and said, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s almost time. I¡¯ll go to the exhibition hall first. Be good and stay in the hotel. I¡¯ll come back as soon as possible.¡± Anhao nodded and raised her hand to bid him farewell like a lucky cat After Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure disappeared from the door, she stood in the room for a while before she turned around and took out her report card. To make yourself better, the road ahead would be brighter. This was taking responsibility for your own life and had nothing to do with anyone else. There was only half a year left until the college entrance examination. Was he going to start taking responsibility for his own life? Although she was unwilling to admit it, she was also unwilling to accept it. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were indeed reasonable. He had also said more than once that she was no longer a child. Looking at the report card in her hand, Anhao slowly sat down on the sofa and began to seriously ¡± think about life ¡® 7:30 PM. Gu Anhao, who had already thought about her life, finally picked up her books and started revising after her exams. After all, there was still half a year before the college entrance examination. These two months of vacation seemed to be the best time for her to take responsibility for her life. As she flipped through the few books that she had casually stuffed into her bag, she sat at the table with a pen in her hand to do practice questions. When Zuo Hancheng came back, she was still writing furiously. Zuo Hancheng did not disturb her after he entered the house, seeing that she was studying so consciously instead of being forced to study hard by him. Anhao was stumped by a physics question. She lowered her head and carefully did the physics formula and the various hypothesized comparisons according to the book. However, she was still confused. Her mind was filled with physics questions. Even though she knew that Zuo Hancheng was right behind her, she still focused on the question and did not turn around to look at him. ¡± Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!¡± Zuo Hancheng took her bag and looked at the final exam papers, English books, and two report slips. He took out the exam papers and report slips and looked at them. At the same time, he asked her in a calm tone that would not disturb her. Anhao lowered her head and looked at the question seriously as she answered,¡±¡±l didn¡¯t eat.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her from the side. It was as he had expected. ¡°What a coincidence. I haven¡¯t eaten yet either. I¡¯ll take you out to eat after you answer these questions.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Anhao was still staring intently at the practice questions under her pen. Her serious look gave her the rare aura of a top student. Zuo Hancheng smiled and did not walk over to her side to avoid distracting her. When he put her test paper back into her bag, he suddenly saw a receipt in the compartment of her bag. He took out the receipt and glanced at it. It was actually a payment certificate from a cake shop near the hotel. Below it was a congratulatory message written by Anhao, which she wanted to send along with the cake. ¡°Happy birthday, Boss Zuo. Congratulations on getting older by one year! The age gap between us has widened again. I¡¯ll always be nineteen years old, and you can grow old happily day by day. Muah He finally understood why this girl suddenly came to S City. Now, he finally had an answer. Zuo Hancheng quietly placed the receipt back into the compartment. He turned around and saw that Ann seemed to have finally answered the question. She was looking down at the question with a happy expression on her face. After she answered the question, she used the computer beside her to check the correct answer. After confirming that she had answered correctly, she immediately threw down her pen and looked relieved. ¡°Physics questions are really too difficult. In the future, when I go to university, I will definitely not study science. I will definitely choose the Chinese department, the art department, or other departments. Anywvay, I will try my best to avoid science as much as possible.¡± ¡°Is it that difficult?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked over and glanced at the practice questions in her notebook. He picked up the physics book beside her and flipped through it casually.¡±There is no absolute lack of courses in any department in the university. It¡¯s just that the priority is different. Don¡¯t dream too early.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t attack me. I was provoked by you before and had no choice but to do well in my final exams. Now, I¡¯m willing to study because I¡¯ve decided to take responsibility for my life and get into a better university to make myself better.¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at him, then stood up and pushed the chair aside.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say you were going to eat? Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go eat. I¡¯m starving!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to wait for me? Why haven¡¯t you eaten yet?¡± ¡°I studied so hard that I forgot the time.¡±Anhao rubbed her belly and grinned. She would never admit that she was really waiting for him to treat her to a big meal. Zuo Hancheng put his hands in his pockets and glanced at her.¡±¡±lt¡¯s very cold outside now. Let¡¯s eat in the hotel.¡± How can I go to S City for the first time? You have to express your feelings and take me to eat some famous and special dishes in S City!¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re very unique.¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed..¡± Chapter 178 - Chapter 178: The Temptation in the Hot Water RoomLittle Anhao (1) Chapter 178: The Temptation in the Hot Water RoomLittle Anhao (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°You can¡¯t eat that too Anhao glared at him coquettishly and turned around to get her coat. Zuo Hancheng closed the physics book and was about to put it back on the table when suddenly, a carefully sealed letter fell from the book and landed at his feet. When Anhao turned around with her coat in hand, she saw the letter that had fallen out of the book. She was stunned for a moment.¡±What is it?¡± When she asked, Zuo Hancheng had already bent down to pick up the letter. After reading the contents, he looked at her with a meaningful gaze. Seeing that his gaze was not quite right, Anhao walked over in bafflement.¡±¡±What is it?¡± When she took the letter from him, Zuo Hancheng raised an eyebrow. There was a hint of coldness and profoundness in his eyes. She lowered her head even more inexplicably, but when she saw the page full of words, her eyes instantly widened. ¡± Gu Anhao, I¡¯m XX from Grade 12 Class X. I like you. This is a love letter. Please read it carefully. When I was organizing the ¡± Guardian Goddess Han Ru ¡± operation in the male dormitory, I refused to participate in those brainless operations. In the three years of school, I never said a bad word about you, nor did I participate in the activities of those students who opposed you. A year and a half ago, when we were in our second year of high school, there was once in the hot water room of the school. A few female students had made fun of you and drenched you in water. You suddenly ran into the hot water room to secretly tidy up your clothes. I saw you running in covered in water. Your summer school uniform was drenched, and your hair was wet on your face. It was also at that time that I realized that the tomboy that the entire school thought was actually such a helpless and beautiful little girl¡­ From that day on, the shadow of you has been deeply imprinted in my heart. However, because of some crazy words in school, I never had the courage to confess to you. I didn¡¯t expect Han Ru to do something to hurt you this time. After learning about that, I was worried and regretful. I regretted not being by your side to help you and protect you. I knew you would come to school for a make-up exam today, so I took the opportunity to put this letter in your book. I hope that when you open this book, you will find my letter. This is not a simple love letter. This is a letter that I want to communicate with you. I hope that after school starts, our relationship can turn from strangers to familiar, from familiar to a couple. I hope you can accept my feelings for you and be my girlfriend¡­¡¯ He could not stand it anymore¡­ Anhao held the letter in her hand stiffly. She slowly raised her head to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was smiling at her. However, his smile was very bright and strange. His eyes were filled with the intention to argue with her about this love letter. F * ck! This was the first time in her life that she had received a love letter, and it was in front of her own husband! The corners of her mouth twitched, but she did not continue reading. She did not even remember the name that the boy had written in the letter. She only smiled at Zuo Hancheng, who was smiling widely. ¡°I was reading the first few pages of the physics book just now and didn¡¯t flip to the back, so I didn¡¯t notice that there was such a letter in the book, hehe¡­Ha¡­ Hey¡­¡± After laughing awkwardly for a while, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly. It was obvious that he was patiently waiting for her to explain. He did not have any intention of questioning or urging her. But it was his smile that was terrifying! Anhao explained herself, ¡®¡±¡®This¡­ Love letters¡­A man like you should have been taking in money since you were at least ten years old, right? This is the first time in my life, but you found out. You can¡¯t blame me for this¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng was still looking at her with a smile. Damn it! She was laughing so hard that her embarrassment cancer was about to flare up! Anhao raised her hand to scratch her forehead and continued to explain,¡±I don¡¯t even remember this boy¡¯s name or which class he¡¯s from. Look at the contents of this letter. He put this letter in my book when I was going for the make-up exam. I didn¡¯t know about it the whole time. It¡¯s not my fault that I¡¯m liked by someone. I definitely didn¡¯t have the energy to cheat on him!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly.¡± When I was in my second year of high school, I accidentally put on a wet seduction in school. What kind of mood and attitude do you want your husband to have now?¡¯¡±¡® Anhao was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes. She immediately explained angrily, ¡°That time, Huang Amao had an argument with a girl. The girl called for a fight, so I went to help Huang Amao chase away the helpers who broke in from outside the school. The president of the Student Union happened to see it and thought that I was the one who started the fight again, so he wrote me down. I was not convinced and went to reason with them. However, I was surrounded by a few female students from the Student Union. They deliberately kicked a bucket of water at the bottom of the stairs where I was, and the water spilled all over me. I was wearing my summer school uniform at that time. His clothes were white. He was afraid that it would be too revealing, so he ran into the hot water room beside him. He didn¡¯t expect there to be a boy inside¡­¡± ¡°You still say you don¡¯t remember? Did you just remember that there was a boy in the hot water room?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao widened her eyes speechlessly. When I saw a man inside, I used force to settle it and chased him out. I didn¡¯t even say more than three words to him!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t say anything about going up to the third level, and you call that forgetting?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows twitched as she gritted her teeth in anger.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry about such details, okay? Anyway, I have nothing to do with him! It¡¯s his business that he likes me! This kind of guy that I have no impression of must be ugly. I must not have even flirted with him, so how could I have anything to do with this kind of guy!¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously not satisfied with her explanation. He frowned and said,¡±¡±lf he was good-looking, would you have retaliated immediately?¡± Anhao realized that she could not use force. It seemed that she could only use soft methods. She stared at him and her eyes reddened. She said aggrievedly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that I was bullied by those girls? ¡®You don¡¯t care about me at all, and you¡¯re actually jealous here. Zuo Hancheng, shouldn¡¯t a person like you be very magnanimous?¡¯ Why are you so petty? I¡¯m just receiving a love letter, not writing a love letter to someone else! And you don¡¯t care about me at all!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so loyal that you went to stand up for your friend, chased away the helper outside the school, and then went to the hot water room to chase away the boy. You¡¯re so amazing, I really can¡¯t find any place to care or sympathize with you.¡± Zuo Hancheng casually leaned back against the table with his hands in his pockets and looked at her with a faint smile.. Chapter 179 - Chapter 179: The Temptation in the Hot Water RoomLittle Anhao (2) Chapter 179: The Temptation in the Hot Water RoomLittle Anhao (2) Translator: 549690339 How cold -blooded! Men without compassion! Anhao looked unhappily at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s accusatory expression and did not give in anymore. She picked up her coat and quickly pushed him away.¡±Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go eat. Anyway, it¡¯s not my fault that I received the love letter, and it¡¯s not my fault that you¡¯re jealous. You can¡¯t starve me like this! My stomach is innocent!¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted coldly. When she came over to push him, he raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. At the same time, he whispered into her ear, ¡°Your husband is really jealous. How are you going to make it up to me? Hmm?¡± The end of the last word carried all kinds of signals. Anhao¡¯s brain spun quickly and she said, ¡®¡±¡® I promise that I will not have any contact with that boy after I return to school until the college entrance exam. I also promise that I will be more careful in school and not be splashed with water by others. I promise that I will never be wet and seduced again¡­¡± ¡°Only a good girl knows how to protect herself.¡±Although the answer was not very satisfactory, it was more or less a positive education. Zuo Hancheng was not too persistent. He whispered into her ear and patted her face gently to comfort her.¡±Of course, when you are bullied, I don¡¯t want you to be in a helpless position like Han Ru. As long as you don¡¯t cause trouble, I will stand on your side. When someone throws water at you, you can boil it and throw it back. ¡± Anhao immediately looked into his eyes in shock. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to indulge her to this extent. ¡°Leave the compensation to me. Just boil the water and pour it back.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he put his arm around her shoulder and took the coat that she had thrown to the side. He draped it over her back and walked out with her in his arms. Walking into the elevator, the moment the elevator closed the door, Zuo Hancheng still did not let go of her, he hugged her like this, and suddenly lowered his head to glance the top of her head: ¡°Gu Anhao, how tall are you? How long has it been? Anhao rolled her eyes at the mirror wall in front of her.¡±What do you mean by 1.5 meters? I¡¯m 1.63 meters tall!¡± ¡°1.63 meters?¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously puzzled. ¡°At the same time, he glanced at the white sports shoes on her feet and patted her head. ¡®¡±¡®1 suspect that the doctor added an extra ten centimeters to your health checkup form.¡± F * ck! Anhao almost cursed. She raised her head and made a biting gesture.¡±1.63 meters is 1.63 meters! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can buy a ruler and measure it later! Also, don¡¯t look at me with your 1.85-meter-tall gaze. With your height, anyone below 1.7 meters needs you to look down on them, okay?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t even said that I dislike you. Why are you in such a hurry to shout?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± ¡°How can you have the cheek to dislike it?¡±Anhao snorted angrily.¡± The height difference between us is more than 20 centimeters. It¡¯s the cutest height difference in the legends. Others might not have the chance to do so even if they wanted to!¡¯¡±¡® As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and looked up at him.¡±Look, we¡¯re standing at such a close distance. If we want to kiss, I have to stand on my tiptoes and look cute. You have to lean down and hold my head to kiss me.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Hancheng still had a look of disbelief on his face. He bent down, held her head, and kissed her. Anhao was stunned, but she instinctively tiptoed and closed her eyes. The moment their lips touched, she suddenly felt as if she had been electrocuted. That feeling was like she had just fallen in love. That feeling was unfamiliar to her, but her heart was filled with excitement. Zuo Hancheng¡­ I seem to have really fallen in love with you. Whether I want to admit it or not, this feeling has been deeply ingrained. What should I do? You¡¯re such an outstanding man. How much more outstanding must I change myself to be worthy of you? Anhao closed her eyes and obediently let him kiss her until the elevator door opened. When she realized that the elevator had stopped on the first floor and there was someone outside the door, Anhao immediately pushed Zuo Hancheng away. Her face was full of panic, but he was calm and collected as he glanced at the person outside the door. Mobai had just gone downstairs to buy some things. When he returned, he saw this scene in front of the elevator door. He immediately stood rooted to the ground awkwardly and met his BOSS ¡®gaze. After seeing the displeasure in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, Mobai quickly said,¡±¡±l didn¡¯t see anything. The elevator next door has opened. I¡¯ll change to another elevator.¡± As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the elevator beside him. He did not even dare to breathe loudly and walked in. Anhao, on the other hand, stood in the elevator with a red face. Zuo Hancheng walked out of the elevator as if nothing had happened. When he saw that Anhao did not come out, he stopped and looked back at her. ¡°Not hungry anymore?¡± Anhao quickly walked out, but she stood behind him and stole a glance at the hotel staff not far away. When the door opened, the staff members were standing far away, but they obviously saw it. They did not look over on purpose, but they pretended not to see anything and did what they were supposed to do. Anhao felt that she had brought this upon herself by challenging Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intelligence in the elevator. If she wanted to challenge his intelligence, the premise was that her intelligence had to be zero. That was why she would do such a stupid thing. She was still standing in the same spot. Zuo Hancheng simply took her hand and walked out. When she reached the door and breathed in the cool and fresh air outside, Anhao felt that her awkwardness had lessened a lot. ¡°What are we going to eat?¡± ¡°Anything, except for the food stalls.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao smiled.¡± Then let¡¯s eat KFC. Look, there¡¯s one across the street. We don¡¯t have to walk too far.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng did not even look at the door of the KFC.¡±¡±AII junk food is prohibited.¡± The smile on Anhao¡¯s face was instantly reduced by half, and she snorted unhappily,¡±¡±Then you can find a good restaurant and bring me there. I won¡¯t choose it myself. Anyway, whatever I choose will be junk food.¡± After Zuo Hancheng heard her words, he turned around and walked to the underground parking lot. At the same time, he said,¡¯¡±¡®At least you know what¡¯s good for you.¡± Anhao was speechless. To be married to such a gentle and understanding man who was actually extremely domineering, she felt wronged! She was really wronged! Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng was not so heartless as to bring her to eat something she did not like. He actually brought her to a seafood restaurant in S City that was open 24 hours a day. The seafood restaurant was not the kind of place that was particularly ostentatious. Although it was not big, it was clean, the service was good, and the taste was good. From the moment Anhao ate the first plate of small conches, she felt that her sense of taste had already enjoyed the highest level of treatment.. Chapter 180 - Chapter 180: Sent to His Mouth (1) Chapter 180: Sent to His Mouth (1) Translator: 549690339 Usually, Zuo Hancheng ate very little meat. Anhao learned from Mobai that Zuo Hancheng preferred vegetarian food or fish, and was not interested in red meat. Today, they had ordered seafood. Zuo Hancheng, who usually did not have a good appetite in front of her, ate more than usual. He finally had a good time with this little foodie. On the way back after eating and drinking her fill, Anhao was in a particularly good mood. She started running in the snow and suddenly stopped when she was far away. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng slowly walking in her direction. His pace was neither fast nor slow, just like the speed at the beginning. It was not affected by her running happily. He was calm and relaxed, but he was always approaching her. Anhao looked at the man who was getting closer and closer to her and suddenly laughed. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, are you a trustworthy man?¡±She asked loudly from five to six meters away. Fortunately, there was no one else around. In such cold weather, it was snowing in S City, and it was already nine o¡¯clock at night. There were very few pedestrians on the road, so no one saw her extremely childish and melodramatic appearance. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and continued walking towards her. Six meters, five meters, four meters, three meters¡­ As he got closer and closer, Anhao just stood there and looked at him. As they got closer, the streetlights shone on their heads. The snowflakes fell on his neat and handsome short hair. Anhao was also smiling as she looked at him. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you answering my question?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you wait for me to get closer and see each other more clearly before answering such a question?¡±Zuo Hancheng had already walked up to her and was standing under the same street lamp as her. Anhao was forced to raise her head to look at the man who was very close to her. She realized that she could really see his face very clearly. Yes, even his pores were clear. However, this man¡¯s skin was also extremely good. He was actually a big man who couldn¡¯t even see his pores. Being stared at by such a good-looking man at such a close distance and seriously, tsk tsk, this feeling was really indescribable. ¡°I can answer your question.¡± Zuo Hancheng took off the black scarf around his neck and put it on her neck. At the same time, he pulled it up a little higher, hiding her ears that were red from the cold under the warm scarf. He had always been a warm man, and Anhao was sure of that. She stood quietly in front of him and didn¡¯t move, allowing him to adjust the scarf around her neck. She felt even warmer. ¡°Whether I¡¯m a man worth trusting or not, that¡¯s up to you to judge.¡±¡®The answer I can give you is, Anhao,¡± Zuo Hancheng said softly.¡±Between you and me, there should be trust, loyalty, persistence, and feelings. There should be no lies.¡± There were no lies? Anhao looked into his eyes and saw that his gaze was very calm, like a clear lake, and so calm and sincere. This was a man who stood high above everyone else, a man who was the center of attention and looked up to by many people. But now, he was in front of her, lowering his head and seriously telling her his thoughts about this marriage and everything he wanted to express. Facing such a man, Anhao really realized that she was childish and had many shortcomings. Faced with such a promise, she felt her heart sink even more. She was afraid that she would let down such a simple and unadorned promise that was better than many sweet words. She pursed her lips and looked at him for a long time.¡± Then why did you suddenly treat me so coldly last time? I want to know the reason. I don¡¯t want to be like a little fool who can be summoned by you. You know, I¡¯m very stubborn.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and looked into her eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, To settle some personal issues.¡± ¡°Is a personal problem something that has nothing to do with us?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t ask. Since your cold violence over the past few days wasn¡¯t targeted at me, but because of something else, I have no complaints.¡± Anhao shrugged her shoulders as she spoke.¡± Otherwise, it would feel weird. It¡¯s like something is hiding us.¡±¡± ¡°Now, Zuo Hancheng, although I¡¯m still young, just like you said, I¡¯m an adult now. I¡¯ll be officially twenty years old next month. Let me ask you this from the perspective of an adult and as your lawful wife. If we really love each other, will our marriage be as you said?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± Just admit it if you¡¯re already tempted. There¡¯s no need for so many ifs and assumptions.¡± Anhao frowned and tugged at his sleeve.¡±¡±Aiya, don¡¯t change the topic!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and raised his hand to caress her head gently. His voice was light but firm.¡±Of course.¡± ¡°Then do you like me?¡± Looking at the little girl who was full of questions tonight, Zuo Hancheng had completely understood her intentions and her uneasiness. He curled his lips slightly and said, ¡°You probably haven¡¯t seen my attitude towards someone I don¡¯t like.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue said that you usually have this expression when you don¡¯t care much about people.¡±Anhao imitated Zuo Yue¡¯s actions that day and said,¡±¡±But you have this expression when you¡¯re related to someone you like.¡± Looking at her exaggerated imitation, Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡±¡±Since you know what the answer is, why are you still asking me? Are you trying to set me up?¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± No, no. We¡¯re planning to hold a proposal ceremony. We have to ask both parties for their opinions. We can¡¯t make the decision on our own, so as to avoid the awkwardness of being overly sentimental.¡±¡® When Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion, she added,¡±¡±Let¡¯s talk about the premise first. There¡¯s never been a rule in this world that a woman can¡¯t propose to a man.¡± Then, as if she was performing magic, she took out a dark blue velvet box from her pocket and handed it to him. Zuo Hancheng did not expect her to do this. He opened the box for him to see.¡±Then, I¡¯ve already prepared the proposal ring! We got married in such a hurry that we didn¡¯t have anything that we should have. I¡¯ll give you an engagement ring first, and then for the wedding and whatnot, I¡¯ll give you something after I graduate from university and earn some money.¡± As she spoke, she acted like a model. She directly picked up the ring and was about to hand it over to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng could not help but laugh as she grabbed his hand and was about to put the ring on his finger. He pulled her into his arms and pressed her head into his arms. Anhao leaned her head on his shoulder. What do you mean by rejecting my ring? Although this ring only cost me 20,000 yuan, this 20,000 yuan is all I have! Don¡¯t tell me you despise it?¡± ¡°Everything about you is in my arms.¡± He held her in his arms.¡± Anhao fell silent. Although his words were beautiful, she had to let him wear the ring she bought! Just as she was about to push him away so that she could put on the ring, she suddenly heard him say,¡±l should be the one making it up to you, not you, silly girl.. ¡° Chapter 181 - Chapter 181: Sent to His Mouth (2) Chapter 181: Sent to His Mouth (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No matter who makes it up to who, you have to wear this ring, right?¡±Anhao¡¯s brain could not take in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words at all. Her mind was filled with the thought that she could not waste the twenty-six thousand yuan. She had to put it on him and see his satisfied and happy smile. She pushed him again. This time, Zuo Hancheng did not insist on hugging her. She took the opportunity to grab his hand and put the ring on his ring finger. When she realized that the size and size of the ring matched his ring finger perfectly, she became excited. ¡°Look, look, I¡¯m really sensitive to size. It¡¯s not bad at all!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the ring and did not dispel her enthusiasm. He smiled in satisfaction and said, ¡°¡±You have good taste. What about you?¡± ¡°What mine?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to have a proposal ceremony? A proposal ring is a wedding ring. I¡¯ve put mine on, but where¡¯s yours?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao was stunned for a moment and looked at him blankly.¡±¡±Oh no, I bought a male ring, not a wedding ring¡­Just this ring alone cost me twenty-six thousand yuan of my private savings, all of it!¡± As she spoke, she started to jump up regretfully.¡± How could I forget that I should have bought a pair of rings! I should buy a pair! Why did I only buy one? Does this mean that I¡¯m destined to be single and will be separated from you sooner or later? That¡¯s why I bought the wrong ring.¡± Looking at how she was about to go crazy, Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡±¡±So, I¡¯ll give you everything you need one by one. Girl, don¡¯t even think about earning money for your wedding after graduation. We can¡¯t wait until then.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I wait?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t there a lot of people who hold their wedding after many years of marriage?¡± Anhao asked in surprise.¡± ¡°I never intended to let you suffer for so long.¡±A cold wind blew past and he pulled her into his arms.¡±l¡¯ll take the ring.¡± Then, he suddenly whispered into her ear, will remember everything about you.. When he said the words ¡± your everything his deep and hoarse voice made Anhao tremble. She hurriedly pushed him away, but he smiled and hugged her, kissing her ear.¡±Be good, let¡¯s go back to the hotel. You¡¯ll catch a cold if you stay in the cold wind for a while.¡± Going back to the hotel at this time was clearly equivalent to sending herself into his mouth without her tying a bow on her hands and feet. However, Anhao realized that she really had no reason to retreat. She buried her head in his arms and nodded. Anhao had never experienced such a passionate feeling before. As the two of them returned to the hotel, her hand never left his hand. Warm warm warm feeling heart is full of swelling and swelling. As they walked out of the elevator, Zuo Hancheng wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, ¡°Are we going to your place or mine?¡± Anhao¡¯s face tensed up when she heard such ambiguous words. She looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng smiling. She did not know if he really wanted to do it with her today or if he was just teasing her. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. Just like how she had wanted to propose to him from a woman¡¯s point of view, she suddenly took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around his waist. When his eyes were filled with a gentle smile, she raised her eyebrows.¡±l haven¡¯t stayed in a presidential suite before. You should at least let me experience it.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and hugged her tightly in his arms. He was about to bring her back to her room. Just as they were walking towards their room, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng suddenly slowed down and looked at Mobai, who had been waiting for a long time at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s door. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Seeing the two of them return, Mobai had to admit that he was really risking his life to appear here. However, it was an emergency, so he could only wait here. If he didn¡¯t know that President Zuo was accompanying Gu Anhao out, he would have called President Zuo earlier. He had already considered everything as far as possible by waiting here. Seeing Mobai¡¯s solemn expression, Zuo Hancheng removed his hand from Anhao¡¯s shoulder and walked over. He did not say a word and only looked into Mobai¡¯s eyes, waiting for him to speak. ¡® President Zuo, Mr. Chen in Hong Kong is critically ill. He has been in a coma for more than 72 hours. Before he was admitted to the hospital, he signed a new contract with Shengling Group. However, Mr. Chen¡¯s condition is not optimistic now. His son and grandson are fighting for the shares of the Chen Group, which may cause the agreement between the two parties to be interrupted. Mr. Chen specially left a voice message for you before he was admitted to the hospital.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression darkened when he heard Mobai¡¯s words. When Mobai handed him a USB flash drive with a recording file, he lowered his eyes to look at the USB flash drive and reached out to take it. Anhao overheard their conversation from the side and saw the expressions on Mobai and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s faces. She guessed that Old Mr. Chen must be a very important relative or someone whom Zuo Hancheng respected. ¡°I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡±Anhao said softly. When Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her, she smiled brightly at him.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m going back to my room to continue my revision.¡± ¡°Rest early.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.¡± Hearing these words, Anhao understood that Old Mr. Chen and the Chen Corporation in Hong Kong must be very important, and they would probably be busy until late. She nodded and turned to go back to her room. After returning to her room and taking off her coat and the black scarf that Zuo Hancheng had given her, Anhao turned around and leaned against the door to listen outside. There was no movement outside, so Mobai must have followed Zuo Hancheng into the opposite room. Looking at the time, it was already half-past nine at night. There were two and a half hours left until midnight. After midnight, it would be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s birthday. She thought that he would be back very late and that she would be able to deliver the cake to him at midnight, so she asked the delivery man from the 24-hour cake shop to deliver the cake at midnight. Now, it seemed that it would be more appropriate to bring the cake to him tomorrow morning. Anhao immediately changed her clothes and went into the bathroom, soaking in the extremely comfortable jacuzzis to enjoy life. As she blew on the bubbles in her hand, she looked at herself in the mirror beside her. She realized that her face was pink, as if she was looking forward to something happening with Zuo Hancheng. Not only was her face red, but when the bubbles on her body fell into the water, her skin, which was emitting a moist luster in the water, was also soaked in the hot water and turned a faint rose red, as if it was waiting to be plucked¡­ Looking at herself in this state, coupled with the fact that there was such a large full-length mirror in the perfectly fine bathroom, Anhao felt that her heart had been moved by the shower. In the end, she lay on the bathtub and looked at herself in the mirror seriously. Suddenly, she was in a good mood and smiled.. Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Sent to His Mouth (3) Chapter 182: Sent to His Mouth (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao, who had just taken a shower, was lying on the bed and playing mobile games. She could not fall asleep, and her mind was filled with images of Zuo Hancheng. She took out a book from her bag to read, but no matter how she looked at it, he was still in her mind. She looked at the time gloomily. It had been two hours since Zuo Hancheng and Mobai had returned to their room. It was already 11:30 pm. She wondered if he was done with his work. She couldn¡¯t focus on the book at all, so she threw it aside and turned over on the bed to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name on her phone. When she opened the text message, she suddenly realized that she should get a popular WeChat account. She wondered if Zuo Hancheng had a WeChat account so that she could speak through voice chat instead of typing. She rested her chin on her hand as she lay on the bed and thought for a long time. She did not know if she would disturb him by sending a message now. However, there was still half an hour before midnight, and the cake delivery boy was about to arrive. Did she really have to guard the cake alone for the entire night? She couldn¡¯t sleep with unfinished business! Anhao held her phone gloomily. She thought about how he had agreed to her request to go back to her room. Why did he have to be so understanding? She was still a child. She should have dragged him into her room with her child¡¯s temper. Even if he was insensible, it was better than the pain of losing sleep tonight. She opened Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name countless times, but in the end, she sent him a message seriously. ¡®Are you done? I need to rest early. If I work so hard, I will age prematurely. I¡¯m not interested in a white-haired uncle, Boss Zuo.¡¯ After sending the message, she stared at the content for a while, not knowing if he could see it. She turned around and was about to sleep, but she realized that she couldn¡¯t fall asleep even more after sending the message. She kept wondering if he had seen the message. Was he too busy to reply, or did he not reply because he didn¡¯t see it? Or perhaps, he felt that it was too childish of her to send him a text message across the door, so he was too lazy to bother with her? Anhao picked up a pillow and covered her head with it. Insomniac came to her door just like that, and she was in extreme pain. A while ago, she had temporarily put aside the trauma of her childhood because of Wenner¡¯s psychological adjustment. She had planned to forget all the pain and live a happy life. She had just gotten rid of the pain of insomnia, but she had actually fallen into the abyss of insomnia because she was in love! Pain! After tossing and turning countless times, she suddenly sat up and scratched her hair hard. She picked up her phone and was about to check if her phone was on silent mode. Why hadn¡¯t she replied to the message? When she picked it up and realized that she hadn¡¯t received any text messages, she felt even more depressed. Just as she was about to throw her phone aside, the phone vibrated in her hand, and a text message appeared on the screen. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name, Anhao¡¯s heart dropped. F * ck, he finally replied. Why was it different when she was in a relationship? She had to wait for a text message across the door! She opened the message and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s reply. ¡°Still not sleeping?¡± Anhao stared at those three words and wished she could just stare right through the phone and ruthlessly pierce through the man on the other side of the phone! It turned out that she couldn¡¯t sleep for a long time here. It was only a few minutes before midnight. He finally replied to her message, but it was only these three words. He didn¡¯t answer her question, didn¡¯t say if he was done with his work, and didn¡¯t respond to her concern. He only said these three words! Anhao held her phone for a long time before she pouted and typed. ¡± I can¡¯t sleep. The room is too big, the air conditioner isn¡¯t warm enough, and it¡¯s such a foreign environment in S City. I can¡¯t sleep at all.¡¯ After sending it, there was no response again. Anhao threw her phone on the bed in a bad mood and picked up a pillow to hug. What can I do to relieve my worries? Only a pillow! Just as she closed her eyes and was about to sympathize with her tragic love life, her phone rang. She quickly picked up her phone and saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were still short and concise, but it made Anhao¡¯s heart beat back to normal once again. ¡°Should I go over now?¡± Anhao stared at her phone for a long time, but she suddenly couldn¡¯t find the words to respond. If she rejected him, it would be like refusing but welcoming him at the same time. She really wanted to see him again. She did not want to continue being separated by the door like this. But if he agreed, it seemed¡­Well¡­ This¡­ That¡­ She raised her hand and bit her nails, hesitating whether to agree or reject. Or should she just not reply and wait for him to decide? The time on the phone changed from 23:59 to oo:oo. It was already midnight. Anhao still didn¡¯t send another message. She just looked at the four zeros and felt melancholic. Thinking about it, she suddenly felt that she was quite great. She had actually accompanied a man through his journey from his twenties to his thirties. It was such a memorable day. It would be too much of a shame if she did not spend it with Zuo Hancheng. Anhao was planning to call him directly to ask if he was done with his work and come over directly after he was done. The cake was about to arrive, so he had to finish it quickly. Just as she was about to dial his phone number, the doorbell suddenly rang. She looked at the time and realized that the cake delivery boy had arrived. She threw her phone down and got out of bed. She put on some clothes and ran to the door to open it. However, the moment she opened the door, she was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng standing at the door, not the little brother who had delivered the cake. She was stunned. She looked behind him and then looked at him again.¡±You¡­ How did you¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it was cold?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice the surprise in her eyes. He pushed the door open and walked in calmly in front of Anhao. The lights in the room were not turned on, only a few dim lights by the bedside. Zuo Hancheng turned on the crystal lights in the room after entering the room. Anhao squinted her eyes and watched his movements. She saw him walk to the bedside and look to the side, as if he was looking for something. ¡°How big of a cake did you order? It hasn¡¯t been delivered yet?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her as he turned around. Anhao¡¯s mouth opened so wide that she almost swallowed an egg. She raised her finger and pointed at him.¡±You, you, you, you, you¡­How did you know that I ordered a cake?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± You came all the way to S City to celebrate my birthday. You¡¯re acting so mysterious. Do you really think I can¡¯t tell?¡±¡± Anhao almost choked on her own saliva. ¡°How did you know? I clearly hid it well enough! I wanted to give you a surprise.¡± ¡°Although I found out about your goal in advance, I¡¯m already very surprised. But where¡¯s the cake?¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± I came here on time to eat the birthday cake. Don¡¯t tell me you bought the wrong cake too..¡±¡® Chapter 183 - Chapter 183: Sent to His Mouth (4) Chapter 183: Sent to His Mouth (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched as her intelligence was completely belittled. Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was a call from the cake shop, she quickly picked it up. She nodded and then put down the phone.¡±¡±The cake has arrived, but it¡¯s too late now, so the hotel staff didn¡¯t allow the cake delivery guy to come up. To ensure safety, they handed the cake to the staff, and they¡¯ll send it over in a while.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. He looked like he was really afraid that the cake would not be delivered on time and he would embarrass himself again. He raised his hand and touched her face lovingly.¡±lf the cake doesn¡¯t come, I¡¯ll eat you.¡± Anhao slapped his hand away.¡± Don¡¯t be so serious. The cake will be here soon. ¡°¡® She turned around and was about to walk to the door to wait for the cake. Zuo Hancheng did not force her to stop. He only glanced at the wrinkles on the bed caused by her tossing and turning. He picked up the book that she had placed by the bed and flipped through it casually. After making sure that there were no more love letters in the book, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, amused by his sudden action. The doorbell rang. Anhao ran to the door excitedly and said, ¡°¡±Coming, coming After the door opened, the hotel staff pushed the cake cart in.¡±Miss Gu, the security situation in S City has not been ideal recently. In the future, try not to order cakes so late at night. It¡¯s not a guarantee for your personal safety. We took your cake for a while and checked it to make sure that there were no dangerous items hidden inside before sending it over.¡± ¡°I understand, I understand. After all, I¡¯m not from S City. I didn¡¯t know that the hotels here would be so strict.¡±As she spoke, she smiled politely and said, ¡°Thank you. ¡± ¡°Our hotel often has popular celebrities or high-level people in the political world staying in it, so the security facilities are very complete. In addition, there have been a few major cases in S City in recent years, so the security facilities of the hotels in the city are arranged to the best possible. All in all, Miss Gu was very sorry for the delay in delivering the cake.¡± Anhao nodded and thanked the staff again and again. After the staff left, she let out a sigh of relief and bent down to open the box on the cake cart. When she saw the rainbow pattern on the cake, she pushed the cart inside with satisfaction. Zuo Hancheng looked up and saw the little girl pushing the cake cart in. He smiled and said,¡±¡±ls this the surprise you wanted to give me?¡± ¡°What else?¡± Anhao blinked and pushed the cake cart in front of him.¡±Then, I only have so much money. I¡¯ve dedicated all of it to you on this day. Isn¡¯t that enough to express my sincerity?¡± Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, regretfully raised the phone that she had just thrown by the bed and showed it to her. The screen showed her search history on the internet. The contents of the strip of clothes, the bowknot, and the cream on her body were all clearly displayed in front of him. Anhao cried out in shock and jumped up high, wanting to snatch the phone. However, Zuo Hancheng easily pulled her into his arms and fell onto the bed with the strength of her pounce. Anhao tried to push him away but he flipped over and pressed her under him.¡±My little wife specially came to S City to celebrate my birthday. How should I thank her?¡± Anhao grinned and let him press down on her like that. She blinked and looked at him.¡±You don¡¯t have to thank me. Just agree to let me go abroad for a vacation during the winter vacation. What Maldives, what Bali¡­Or¡­¡± ¡°A vacation?¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled down her hand that was raised as if she was counting.¡±¡±How long do you want to go out for? Do you need me to accompany you?¡± Anhao blinked her eyes again.¡± It¡¯s up to me. You know, I¡¯m not far from the college entrance examination after school starts. I¡¯ll probably study harder than before. You have to let me go out for a walk and have a good time.¡±¡® ¡°Sure.¡± Seeing that he agreed so easily, Anhao immediately said in surprise,¡±¡±Really? Then will you accompany me?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± She agreed so readily again! Could it be that this man had made such a promise to her without thinking so that he could successfully pounce on her tonight and then be too lazy to fulfill it in the future? ¡°Then where are we going on vacation?¡± He pondered for a moment and said,¡±How about America?¡±¡± Anhao was confused.¡± America? Is America fun?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to consider other aspects for the time being. If we only talk about the economy, it¡¯s worth a visit since it¡¯s the country with the largest economy.¡± Anhao wrinkled her nose and said in disdain,¡±¡±l¡¯m not a businessman, and I don¡¯t run a company like you. I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s the largest economy or not. I just want fun places!¡± ¡°It won¡¯t make you feel bored.¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled. Anhao really didn¡¯t know what was so attractive about America. Since he said that he would take her to America, it was after all his former base. Perhaps there were his shadows and his past stories everywhere. Perhaps going there was indeed the best choice. She nodded.¡±Then I¡¯ll go online and look up some fun places in the United States. Then you can take me there.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly said in disbelief,¡±Do you have time?¡± ¡°I still have time to accompany my wife on her honeymoon.¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled and turned over to lie down beside her, no longer pressing her down. At the same time, he wrapped his arms around her neck so that she could lie flat on the bed with him. Anhao felt that this position was extremely comfortable, so she rubbed her head against his chest to find a more comfortable position. She leaned her head against his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat. ¡°I suddenly feel so happy now. ¡°Anhao leaned her head against his chest more intimately and whispered, ¡®¡±Chunchun and Huang Amao said that even if I don¡¯t have parents to worry about me, at least I have Zuo Hancheng. I didn¡¯t believe it at first, but now I really realize that Zuo Hancheng marrying you seems to be a good idea.¡± ¡°Only very good?¡± As Zuo Hancheng held her in his arms, his other hand also wrapped around her body. He lowered his head and looked at her.¡±Do you think I should send you to Mars even if you want to?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched.¡± Earth is fine. Why would I go to Mars?¡±¡± As she spoke, she leaned her head against his neck and raised an arm to wrap it around his neck. She whispered, ¡°Chunchun and Huang Amao are going to their parents ¡®and relatives¡¯ companies for an internship this holiday. I wonder how torturous these two months will be.¡± ¡°How long do you think you¡¯ll be on vacation?¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly snorted. You have two months, twenty days for a vacation, and the rest of the time you should go for an internship. It¡¯s good for you to train early.¡± Anhao raised her head in shock..¡±¡±No way! ¡° Chapter 184 - Chapter 184: Sent to His Mouth (5) Chapter 184: Sent to His Mouth (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao raised her head in shock.¡±¡±No way!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you a long time ago that I¡¯ll let you intern at Shengling when you¡¯re on vacation? Do you think I¡¯m teasing the child?¡± Anhao gave up on this intimate position and pushed him away a little. She sat up with a bitter face and picked up the knife on the cake beside the bed to cut a piece of cake. After stuffing the cake full of cream into her mouth, she said bitterly,¡±l take back what I said just now.¡± Which sentence? ¡°It¡¯s what I said about marrying you. It¡¯s not bad¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she was kissed by Zuo Hancheng, who had suddenly sat up. She stared at him in a daze until his tongue was hooked into her mouth. Zuo Hancheng took a step back after tasting the food in her mouth. Seeing her dazed expression, he could not help but smile in satisfaction.¡±The cake tastes good.¡± It was only then that Anhao saw that he had eaten the cake and cream in his mouth after kissing her. Her mouth was already clean, but there was a faint stain of cream at the corner of his mouth. When she stared at his mouth, he raised his hand to wipe the faint stain away.¡±l forgot how many years I haven¡¯t eaten this thing. I didn¡¯t expect the cake to taste so sweet now.¡± Anhao was still feeling aggrieved because he was going to force her to go to the company for an internship, but her face instantly turned red because of his ambiguous and sweet words. No matter how sweet the cake was, it wouldn¡¯t be praised to such an extent. It was obviously because he had eaten the cake in her mouth. Anhao pretended that she was still angry about her internship. Without replying, she turned around and picked up a piece of cake with a small fork and put it in her mouth. As she ate, she said, ¡°Can we talk about the internship when I go to university in the future? I¡¯m still a high school student now. I think I should continue to live in the world of children and pretend for a few more years. If I go for an internship so early, what if my little heart can¡¯t take it and cause some trouble in the company? Wouldn¡¯t that be adding to your burden¡­¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng took the small plate and the small fork that she had used from her hand and ate the small piece of cake that she had just bitten. However, it was obvious that he could not stand the sweetness of the cream. She remembered him saying that he didn¡¯t like sweet things. The cake was just a symbolic meaning, and it didn¡¯t matter if he ate it or not, but he still ate some. Seeing him eating the cake she had just eaten, Anhao tilted her head and looked at him.¡±¡±Why are you eating me?¡± ¡°I tried to eat a bite of the other parts of the cake just now and realized that they weren¡¯t as sweet as the ones you¡¯ve bitten before.¡±Zuo Hancheng said casually. When Anhao was at a loss for words, he turned to look at her.¡±¡± In this era, the IQ of an eighteen-year-old child is still at the stage where they are doted on by their parents. They have not reached the standard of adulthood at all.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your birthday next month? I¡¯ll allow you to intern at Shengling Group. Consider it my 20 -year-old gift for you. This is an opportunity that even top students who came back from studying abroad can¡¯t easily get. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to seize it?¡± ¡°But¡­ ¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the plate of cake and said casually, ¡°¡±ln China, if you have had an internship in some large enterprises before the college entrance examination and have good internship results, at least your college entrance examination score will be automatically added by dozens of points. If you don¡¯t want such a good opportunity, I won¡¯t force you.¡± Anhao immediately turned her eyes away in shock.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly as he glanced at her and chuckled.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you think that you have a reason to avoid growing up at such a young age?¡± Anhao was convinced. For the sake of her future life, she leaned on his shoulder and hugged his arm.¡±Aiya, I was just being willful for a moment. You can¡¯t take a child¡¯s words seriously. Although I can¡¯t accept the fact that I¡¯m going to your company for an internship, if it can really increase my college entrance examination results by dozens of points, I¡¯ll be willing to work for you!¡± Dozens of points! This was a huge leap in her life. How could she not take it seriously! After all, she was Gu Anhao, who was preparing to work hard for her future life! How could he give up such a good opportunity so easily? The next morning, Anhao crawled out of the blanket and looked at the sunlight outside the window. She turned around and realized that she was sleeping in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. Last night, the two of them chatted while eating the cake. Zuo Hancheng, who obviously did not like sweets, had more or less eaten two pieces of cake. After that¡­ After that, Anhao fell asleep on his shoulder for some reason and even slept until now. Perhaps it was because she had been preparing for the make-up exam a few days ago and had been on the road for the past two days, so she was too tired. Her body could not take it anymore. When she was relaxed, she actually fell asleep beside him. She lowered her head and saw that both of them were neatly dressed. There was nothing strange about them. Although she was in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms, he had only hugged her and slept on the bed for one night. It was obvious that he did not do anything to her while she was asleep. This man¡¯s self-control¡­ Anhao was truly impressed! She quietly turned over in his arms and looked up at the handsome face in front of her. Zuo Hancheng was really the kind of man who was so good-looking that he did not know how to describe him. His skin was very white, but it was not the kind of sickly or feminine white. It was the kind of healthy and clean white that belonged to especially good -looking men. Yes, it was clean. His hair was soft and clean as if it had been washed thousands of times. It was as if even his breath carried the unique and fresh scent of a man. Anhao looked at the man through the morning sunlight outside the window. Her gaze went from the top of his head to his chin. She carefully examined his forehead, his eyebrows, his nose, and his mouth. His eyebrows were especially good-looking. When paired with his deep and warm eyes that were open quietly when he was closed, his eyebrows alone were enough to challenge all Asian men. He was definitely the best looking. His eyelashes were so thick and long that even women were jealous! Her gaze swept past his tall nose bridge and his thin lips that were pursed lightly in his sleep. Anhao suddenly felt a little impulsive, so she suppressed the urge in her heart and quietly raised her head to lean closer to his face. When she was close to his lips, she quietly pouted and kissed him on the lips.. Chapter 185 - Chapter 185: Explosive Combat Strength (1) Chapter 185: Explosive Combat Strength (1) Translator: 549690339 After a kiss, she quickly retreated back to her original position. Seeing that he did not wake up, she snickered and crossed her hands under her face. She looked at the man lying next to her in the morning light and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. She whispered, ¡°Then, on your birthday, I¡¯ll give you a kiss. It¡¯s a kiss that¡¯s worth a lot. It¡¯s something that no ring or cake can compare to.¡± After saying that, she said proudly,¡±l don¡¯t care if you know it or not. I¡¯ve already given you a gift, and I¡¯ve expressed my sincerity.¡± After a pause, she whispered,¡±Zuo Hancheng, happy birthday. Don¡¯t think that you can take advantage of me as a thirty-year-old uncle. I¡¯ll be twenty next month. Remember to prepare a gift for me.¡± After saying what she wanted to say, she closed her eyes in satisfaction. She was a little reluctant to wake up in his arms and bask in the morning sun. She slowly raised her arms to hug his neck and buried her head in his arms. Oh, it was too comfortable¡­Let her sleep a little longer¡­ The moment Anhao buried her head in his arms, Zuo Hancheng did not open his eyes. His lips, which had been quiet all this while, curled into a gentle smile. He finally opened his eyes and looked down at the little girl who was reluctant to leave his arms. He raised his hand and stroked his head gently. Anhao, who was still in his arms, froze and looked up at him in disbelief.¡±When did you wake up?¡± ¡°When a certain little thing pouted and kissed me.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he lifted the blanket on her up again.¡±¡±The air conditioner in your room is indeed not warm enough. There¡¯s nothing much to do today, so you can sleep for a while more.¡± Hearing the words ¡± no need to wake up early ¡°, Anhao, who was originally a little shocked, suddenly felt a burst of happiness. She hugged the blanket in satisfaction and rolled to the side in his arms.¡±When are we going back in the afternoon? Are we going by car or by high-speed rail?¡± ¡°The company¡¯s chauffeur and assistant are here. ¡°After Zuo Hancheng answered her, he glanced at his phone and said softly, ¡®¡±¡®1¡¯11 go back to my room to look at some documents. Lie down for a while. I¡¯ll call you for breakfast in an hour.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao curled up under the blanket. When he got up, she looked at his tall and slender back and asked curiously, ¡®¡±Who is that Mr. Chen from Hong Kong that Mobai mentioned last night? Is he your relative or¡­?¡± Zuo Hancheng casually buttoned up the exquisite silver buttons on his sleeves. He looked back at her and said softly, He was a teacher who helped me in the United States. When I was in my teens, he lived in the United States and was a famous Chinese business professor in the United States. Later, he returned to Hong Kong because of his family business. I have been in contact with him for many years. Many years ago, when Shengling Group was hit hard, he helped me.¡± ¡°I see. No wonder you went back to your room so seriously after hearing the news that he was critically ill and seeing his voice recording yesterday.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡± Life is unpredictable. Old Mr. Chen is my teacher and benefactor. It¡¯s inevitable that I¡¯ll be sad. However, this doesn¡¯t affect your business. I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡±¡® ¡°Alright.¡± Anhao smiled and stretched out her hand that was hidden under the blanket. She waved at him like a lucky cat Zuo Hancheng chuckled as he turned around and walked out of her room. When he walked out of the door, he saw a figure outside the door and stopped in his tracks. Anhao didn¡¯t notice the commotion outside the door. She just turned over in bed and planned to sleep for another hour. She would only get up when he came to pick her up for breakfast. The greatest happiness in life was to be able to go back to sleep. Outside the door, Zuo Hancheng looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared outside the opposite door with an indifferent expression. When he saw the cake and gift box in her hands, a trace of coldness instantly rose between his handsome eyebrows. Rong Xue heard the commotion behind her. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out of the door behind her. She was stunned for a moment. However, when she saw the obvious coldness and distance in his eyes, she paused for a moment and then smiled at him calmly.¡±l know it¡¯s your birthday today. Coincidentally, we¡¯re both in S City, so I bought some gowns to express my gratitude¡­¡¯ At this point, she looked at him with some doubt. Seeing that he was not wearing a coat and just came out of the room opposite, she looked at the door of the presidential suite behind her and said softly,¡±Mobai said you were in this room. Why are you in the opposite room?¡± Anhao was about to sleep when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar woman¡¯s voice from outside. Judging from the voice, it was obvious that she was chatting with Zuo Hancheng. She immediately sat up and listened to the sounds outside with her sharp ears. Outside the door, Zuo Hancheng looked at Rong Xue, who had suddenly appeared uninvited. He did not say anything and closed the door of Anhao¡¯s room. While Rong Xue was still looking at him with a slight doubt in her eyes, he looked at her with clear eyes.¡±Mobai told you I was here?¡± Seeing the dissatisfaction in his eyes, Rong Xue did not mind and smiled calmly.¡¯¡±¡®What¡¯s wrong? I¡¯m here to celebrate your birthday, and you¡¯re still going to reject me? Even if she wasn¡¯t his girlfriend, she was still an old friend, right? It¡¯s fine that you rejected the contract so thoroughly, but you should at least accept the gift I bought. Otherwise, I¡¯ll lose too much face, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at the cake box and the other two delicately wrapped gift boxes in her hands. His gaze was fixed on her face, which had only light makeup on.¡±l¡¯ll accept the gift. You can just leave it with Mobai. I still have something to do, so I won¡¯t be able to accompany you.¡± After saying that, he walked over and took out the room card to open the door opposite. He had no intention of staying or talking to her. Rong Xue looked hurt.¡±¡± Hancheng, you know that I¡¯m not the kind of woman who will pester you. I¡¯ve never taken the initiative to pester someone, but now you¡¯re the one who rejected me from the mainland¡¯s contract. I really didn¡¯t expect you to be so cruel to me. No matter what happened between us back then, after all¡­ ¡°I rejected the contract because I am an investor of Yi Planet. It has nothing to do with personal grudges.¡±Zuo Hancheng stood in front of the door with his back facing the woman behind him. His voice was cold and devoid of warmth.¡±Since Miss Rong also knows that she shouldn¡¯t be pestering me, she should know that there won¡¯t be any results even if she comes to see me.¡± Anhao had already quietly walked to the door and pressed her ear against the door to listen to the conversation outside. Rong Xue looked at his back in disbelief, as if he was facing a stranger.¡±¡± If you weren¡¯t the investor of Yi Xing, I wouldn¡¯t have wanted to develop in the mainland. You should know that my achievements in America have allowed me to temporarily shift my focus here.. The reason why I came back to Han City is because¡­¡± Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Explosive Combat Strength (2) Chapter 186: Explosive Combat Strength (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Why did you come back? It was your own will.¡± Zuo Hancheng opened the door in front of him without turning back. His voice was deep and cold.¡±l don¡¯t have to take any responsibility for you just because you want to change your district, including signing your contract.¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to say such cold words.¡±Rong Xue looked at his back, and the shock in her eyes gradually turned into a trace of sadness.¡±¡±Do you still hate me? It¡¯s been five years. Looks like you¡¯re the same as me. You haven¡¯t let go of that period back then.. Before she could finish, the sound of the door opening came from behind her. Rong Xue paused and did not continue. She did not want to say these words that she had hidden in her heart for many years when there were other people around. As a public figure for many years, she instinctively did not reveal any relationship problems in front of outsiders. However, just as Rong Xue paused for a moment, a young lady wearing a bathrobe suddenly walked out from behind her. The little girl walked straight to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and raised her hand to wrap around his arm. She said affectionately and coquettishly,¡±¡±Hubby, I¡¯m hungry. It¡¯s almost eight o¡¯clock. Let¡¯s go have breakfast first. You can continue with your work when you¡¯re full.¡± As Anhao spoke, she stuck her entire body next to Zuo Hancheng, not even looking at Miss Rong behind them. When Zuo Hancheng lowered his head to look at her, she raised her eyebrows and glared at him. Although he did not speak, the determination in his eyes to defend his marriage was extremely obvious. She did not care if Zuo Hancheng would make things difficult for her. Since Zuo Hancheng had clearly expressed his views on marriage to her yesterday, she should believe that he was serious about this marriage. Since he was serious, as his official wife, she naturally could not back down when facing an ex-girlfriend who had returned from the United States. Anyway, she did not need to fight or snatch it. It was enough as long as she expressed her identity clearly. ¡°Alright.¡± Unexpectedly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change. When he saw the determination in her eyes, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. He pulled her hand away from the crook of his arm and held it in his palm. He said gently,¡±What do you want to eat? Do you want to eat at the hotel or go out?¡± ¡°Whatever, I¡¯ll listen to you Anhao smiled and shook their hands that were clasped together. She winked at him like a naughty child. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and closed the door that had just been opened with his other hand. He held her hand and turned around. However, when he saw Rong Xue standing there with an inditterent expression, the taint smile in his eyes faded a little.¡±lf you have any questions, contact my assistant or the person in charge of Yi Xing.¡± He stopped looking at her and walked past Rong Xue without looking back. Anhao¡¯s gaze swept across Rong Xue¡¯s face and she was shocked. It was indeed the female celebrity that she had seen on the big screen. It was really her. She was Rong Xue! However, seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude, Anhao did not quite understand. She could only obediently let him lead her to breakfast. However, just as the two of them walked a few steps away from Rong Xue, her voice suddenly came from behind,¡¯¡±¡® Hancheng, we¡¯ve known each other for more than ten years. I don¡¯t just know a little about you. Although you¡¯ve left the United States for the past five years, I¡¯ve always heard about you. You¡¯ve never had a female companion by your side all these years. You don¡¯t even have a woman to satisfy your sexual needs. You¡¯ve always been so clean and pure, just like before. I don¡¯t believe that you¡¯ll suddenly have another woman by your side in just a few months, and¡­¡± Rong Xue looked at Anhao¡¯s back coldly.¡±¡±And she looks like a little girl who hasn¡¯t even grown hair yet. How old is this girl? She¡¯s not even twenty years old, right? Is he the child of one of your relatives? I really didn¡¯t expect that a person like you would use such a clumsy method to act in front of me like your old love is gone and your new love is beside you.¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not hear Rong Xue¡¯s words that were deliberately meant to provoke him. He did not even have the intention to refute or explain, as if he did not hear anything. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s psychological quality was definitely not something that ordinary people could compare to. If he was so easily angered, he would not be the world-famous Zuo Hancheng. However, Gu Anhao did not have such a good mental fortitude. When she heard Rong Xue¡¯s words, she felt like she was being stabbed by a knife. If she did not retaliate fiercely, it would be as if she was really a relative¡¯s child. She did not deliberately lean on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder again. She walked hand in hand with him to the elevator. When they reached the elevator door, she suddenly said,¡±¡±Mobai clearly booked two rooms for us, but you insisted on sleeping at my place last night. I didn¡¯t even have time to dry clean my clothes. Now that I don¡¯t have any clothes to wear, I can only wrap myself in this. It¡¯s better to have breakfast at the hotel After Anhao finished speaking, she followed Zuo Hancheng into the elevator. It was not until the elevator door closed and Rong Xue¡¯s gaze was blocked that Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face. When he let go of her hand, she deliberately nudged his arm with her shoulder and said softly, ¡°¡±Ex-girlfriend?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the number on the elevator and his gaze finally fell on the reflection in the mirror door in front of them. He said softly, ¡°¡±What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°I¡¯m questioning you now. That Rongxue is that big star, right? Is she your ex-girlfriend?¡± Anhao also stared at him through the mirror.¡±¡±lf I¡¯m questioning you from your wife¡¯s point of view, you should at least answer me directly!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡± The answer is so obvious. Your combat ability was almost off the charts just now. Do you still need me to repeat the answer?¡±¡± ¡°Alright, she is indeed my ex-girlfriend.¡± Anhao nodded with a displeased expression and said seriously,¡±¡±Then what should I do now? Should he continue to be a warrior who defended his marriage like before, or should he quietly withdraw? Anyway, we¡¯ve always been in name only. I barely didn¡¯t let you take advantage of me. Even if I quit now, there won¡¯t be any big losses. I even earned a few valuable houses. It¡¯s not a loss at all¡­ Anhao kept talking while she was still in the middle of the room. The elevator stopped on the first floor. The moment the door opened, Zuo Hancheng held her hand again and walked out. He answered in a clear voice,¡±¡±Just be yourself. There¡¯s no need to change.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t changed. I can switch between being a female warrior and a wronged little white flower at will.. I guarantee that you¡¯ll be satisfied!¡± Chapter 187 - Chapter 187: Explosive Combat Strength (3) Chapter 187: Explosive Combat Strength (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I haven¡¯t changed. I can switch between being a female warrior and a wronged little white flower at will. I guarantee that you¡¯ll be satisfied! ¡°Anhao blinked at him with a pure and innocent expression.¡±¡±Look, I don¡¯t even show any signs of jealousy.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and snorted.¡± Anhao was embarrassed.¡± Although drinking vinegar often is good for the body, it¡¯s not good for mental health. You also know that I¡¯m a patient who needs to see a psychiatrist, so I can¡¯t be stimulated. This was what Mr. Wenner told me. You actually want to cause my heart to fluctuate and affect me too much. To put it bluntly, Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re actually quite greedy.¡± Suddenly, the man walking in front of her stopped in his tracks. Anhao still looked at his back with an innocent expression. She was very confident that he understood what she had just said. If he really had no feelings for this so-called ex-girlfriend, then she would naturally sink into his world bit by bit. But if he didn¡¯t let go of the past that she didn¡¯t know about, and still wanted to see her jealous and fall for him, then he was really greedy, and a scumbag in human skin! Obviously, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intelligence was more than enough to understand her words. He looked back at her.¡±What else do you want to say? I¡¯m telling you all at once now, so you don¡¯t have to hold it in.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± That ex-girlfriend of yours is Miss Rong. How much of what she said just now was true, and how much of it was fake?¡±¡± ¡°Which one are you referring to?¡± ¡°She¡¯s the one who said that you¡¯ve always kept yourself clean for her. You¡¯ve never had any female companions by your side¡­What she meant was obvious. She meant that you still have him in your heart, and it¡¯s because of what happened between the two of you in the past, love, hate, and so on. Anyway, I don¡¯t know about your past, but I could see from her eyes just now that she was very confident and knew you very well.¡± ¡°Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is narcissism.¡±I believe that this annoying trait will not appear in you,¡± Zuo Hancheng said coldly.¡± ¡°Then you might be disappointed. I¡¯ve always been quite narcissistic.¡± Anhao puffed out her chest proudly and said, ¡°¡±For example, right now, although I¡¯m facing an internationally famous beauty and celebrity, I think we should be evenly matched. After all, I have a marriage certificate After saying that, she used her hand to brush her hair exaggeratedly and said with a smile, ¡°The real Mrs. Zuo is so confident Zuo Hancheng sighed and pulled her over to prevent her from falling into the elevator. At the same time, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side. He lowered his eyes and looked at her deliberate expression.¡±First of all, it¡¯s true that I¡¯m chaste. It¡¯s also true that I haven¡¯t had any ambiguous female companions all these years. However, it¡¯s not because of my so-called ex-girlfriend, but because I¡¯m busy.¡± ¡°Busy? You¡¯re so busy that you don¡¯t look for a woman?¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯s easy to move such a big company from the United States back to China? In the first two years or so, I basically didn¡¯t have any time to myself. It was already good enough that I didn¡¯t die in the middle of the night. Although I was a little more free in the past two years, there were still many things in the company, big and small. The things that needed to be controlled in the country and the human relationships were more complicated than in the United States. Firstly, I didn¡¯t have the mood to consider a life partner. Secondly, I really didn¡¯t meet any women I liked.¡± ¡°Oh, so I hit the jackpot?¡±Anhao tilted her head. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s fate.¡± Zuo Hancheng curled his lips.¡± ¡°Tsk, don¡¯t say such mushy things. If it was yesterday, I would definitely be touched.¡± ¡°But now, an ex-girlfriend has appeared early in the morning to give me a sharp warning. I have to re-examine our marriage, our relationship, and other matters. I can¡¯t just blindly be hung by your side. What if you¡¯re really like what she said? What if you just casually pulled a woman around to put on an affectionate show for your ex-girlfriend?¡± ¡°Do I have so much free time?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± ¡°Who knows¡­After all, I haven¡¯t known you for more than ten years, and I don¡¯t know vou as well as others. I also won¡¯t be like that person iust now. She clearlv saw your wife run out to prove her identity, but she still had a proud expression on her face as if she didn¡¯t care about me at all.¡± ¡°You still say that you¡¯re not jealous? You¡¯re just refusing to admit that you¡¯re jealous.¡±Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and patted her head.¡±¡±Alright, let¡¯s go eat breakfast. Didn¡¯t you say you were hungry?¡± ¡°Oh, right, I¡¯m hungry. I have to eat my fill to have the strength to fight.¡¯ Anhao immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the hotel¡¯s restaurant. Seeing the girl¡¯s completely different attitude after meeting her legendary ex-girlfriend, Zuo Hancheng did not know whether to laugh or cry as he raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows. After Anhao and Zuo Hancheng entered the elevator, Mobai, who had been feeling uneasy for telling Rong Xue President Zuo¡¯s room number without permission, walked out from a room not far away. Rong Xue was still standing there, but the gift boxes and cakes in her hands had already been placed on the ground. She was just staring at the elevator without moving. No one knew what she was thinking. MO Bai walked over and said,¡± Miss Rong, I have reminded you many times that President Zuo is not convenient to see you.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°The reason why he can¡¯t see me is because of that woman just now?¡±Rong Xue turned to look at him. Which business partner¡¯s daughter or which relative¡¯s daughter?¡± Mobai was silent for a moment before he said softly,¡±¡±That¡¯s Miss Gu, President Zuo¡¯s wife.¡¯ Rong Xue¡¯s expression froze for a moment, then gradually turned stiff. Finally, she looked at Mobai as if she was looking at a monster.¡±What did you just say?¡± He looked as if he couldn¡¯t believe his ears. ¡°President Zuo got married a few months ago. Miss Gu is his wife. Although there was no wedding, the marriage procedures were already settled.¡± Mobai¡¯s voice was gentle.¡± Miss Rong, Mr. Zuo¡¯s attitude is very clear. Since you know him, you should know that he wouldn¡¯t casually find a woman. She really is Mrs. Zuo.¡± Rong Xue stood rooted to the ground as if she had heard a fairy tale. Her mind was filled with the words that the young lady had said to Zuo Hancheng. She had thought that it was just an ignorant young lady who had taken a fancy to Zuo Hancheng and had come out to show off. It was not like this had never happened before. There were many women who liked Zuo Hancheng. When they were in America, many rich girls had tried to snatch him away, but they had never succeeded. Just now, she thought that the little girl was just one of those women¡­ She never expected such an answer. She looked in the direction of the elevator in disbelief, and her face gradually turned pale.. Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Explosive Combat Strength (4) Chapter 188: Explosive Combat Strength (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was having breakfast when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone ring a few times. Every time it rang, he glanced at the caller ID and did not pick it up. Instead, he hung up. However, the call came three or four times in a row. If it was not for the fact that it was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personal phone and that he could not turn it off because he was out of town, he would have turned it off long ago. Anhao mumbled as she chewed on the toast in her mouth, ¡°¡±Could it be that you and your ex-girlfriend love each other and kill each other?¡± Zuo Hancheng took a sip of tea and looked at her.¡±¡±What love and kill?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the kind that used to love to the point of death, but later hated to the point of death. ¡°Not to that extent.¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed. ¡°Looking at your attitude, it should not be.¡± Anhao rested her chin on her hand as she ate.¡±¡± That¡¯s terrible. She didn¡¯t love you to death, nor did she hate you to death. But after breaking up, she ran from America to China to look for you. That obviously means she hasn¡¯t forgotten you¡­¡± It was usually not easy to get rid of such a melodramatic situation where he slowly realized that the person he loved the most was still him.¡± ¡°When did you become a relationship analysis expert? Deal with your own relationship problems first.¡±Zuo Hancheng helped her scrape some butter and jam off her toast and handed it to her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t eat this jam. The sugar content is too high.¡± Anhao took the toast with only a thin layer of cream and jam with a look of disgust. She took a sip of milk and continued to bite the toast. She was about to raise her head to ask about Rong Xue¡¯s character so that she could prepare for battle. However, just as she raised her eyes, her gaze suddenly paused and she looked behind Zuo Hancheng. She slowly took a bite of her toast and said, She¡¯s in the midst of her career. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and saw that she was looking behind him. He seemed to have understood something and turned to look at Rong Xue, who was standing behind the crystal curtain of the hotel restaurant. He had to admit that Rong Xue was an excellent artiste who could change her character because of her makeup. She was pure and beautiful. She was tall and slender. Even if she was not a model, her figure was better than a model¡¯s. At least, she was a top-notch artiste. Judging from her height, she was at least 1.68 to 1.7 meters. Standing there in high heels, she could not be described with simple words such as temperament and beauty. Even Anhao couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances at the beautiful woman. Of course, she wasn¡¯t admiring her. She was looking at Rong Xue¡¯s figure, then she lowered her head and stole a glance at the two little buns wrapped in her bathrobe. She seemed to finally understand why Zuo Hancheng had said that she was stunted because she ate too many snacks. In comparison, it really looked like she was stunted. Anhao raised her head quietly and looked at Rong Xue¡¯s expression again. She saw Rong Xue standing calmly at the crystal bead curtain at the door. The two excellent welcome pines planted indoors beside her were a beautiful contrast. Zuo Hancheng only glanced at Rong Xue, who had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the restaurant. His expression remained unchanged. Although there weren¡¯t many people in the restaurant, since the breakfast in this high-end hotel was also expensive, there were still a few people eating breakfast together. Two of the young men were shocked when they saw Rong Xue at the door.¡¯¡±¡®lsn¡¯t that¡­Not the famous overseas Chinese American movie star, the one called Alice Snow?¡± However, since Rong Xue had been developing her career abroad and had never returned to China, the men only made a guess and did not dare to approach her. On the other hand, Rong Xue seemed to only have eyes for Zuo Hancheng. She kept looking in his direction. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, and she just stood there without moving. She did not move forward, nor did she leave. Zuo Hancheng had obviously heard what the men were saying. He did not want to let an internationally famous movie star cause a stir and disturb his peace. He stood up and walked over. Anhao was still sitting at the table, slowly chewing on her toast. Her eyes didn¡¯t follow him, as if she didn¡¯t care at all. However, Anhao¡¯s attitude of not minding her presence and existence made Rong Xue¡¯s proud and confident heart tremble slightly. She did not know what the little girl had to be so confident. When Zuo Hancheng walked over, Rong Xue raised her head and looked at him. As he approached her, she smiled naturally.¡±¡±Hancheng, today is your birthday. No matter what, we are considered old friends. Are you going to reject my gift and sincerity just like that?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯ll accept the gift. You can just give it to Mobai.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a dark expression.¡±¡±You¡¯re a public figure. You¡¯re used to the feeling of being surrounded by people. Have you ever thought about whether others will be troubled by your appearance?¡± Rong Xue did not seem to be hurt by his subtle but direct driving. She just smiled and said,¡±¡±There aren¡¯t many people in this restaurant. I¡¯ve been standing here for a while, but I haven¡¯t caused any commotion. As for you, aren¡¯t you a public figure? It¡¯s just that you don¡¯t live in front of the media cameras. If anyone heard your name, it would really cause a sensation, right?¡± Seeing impatient frown, Rong Xue chuckled.¡±¡±Hancheng, we are so compatible with each other. It wasn¡¯t easy to stand on the top and look down at people. You know this feeling, and I know it too, so why push me away?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled, but his smile did not reach his eyes.¡±You came here just to tell me that you¡¯re already standing at the peak of your life?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s self-esteem seemed to have been hit hard when she saw the smile in his eyes suddenly turn into a cold sneer. She looked at the coldness in his eyes. ¡°Or are you blaming me for being too ruthless back then? Is that why you¡¯re using such a ridiculous method to take revenge on me?¡± At the same time, she raised her hand and pointed in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction. Anhao had just sneaked some jam onto her toast when Zuo Hancheng was not looking in her direction. She took a bite of it happily. When he suddenly heard Rong Xue¡¯s words and was pointed at by her again, he almost choked to death. He quickly covered his mouth and turned his head to the ground to cough twice. Then, he picked up the glass and drank a few mouthfuls of warm milk before he calmed down. Finally, he raised his hand to caress his chest. Damn it, the feeling of choking on toast was too uncomfortable! Seeing her embarrassed look in the morning, Rong Xue smiled faintly and said, ¡°¡±How could such an unpresentable little girl be called Mrs.. Zuo? Hancheng, are you insulting me in this way? Chapter 189 - Chapter 189: Explosive Combat Strength (5) Chapter 189: Explosive Combat Strength (5) Translator: 549690339 F * ck, this big sister didn¡¯t even use vulgarities when she cursed, and she was so lethal! Anhao had to admit that her little heart had been hurt a little, and it had directly hurt her self-esteem! She calmly put the toast to her mouth and took another bite. She chewed slowly as if she was ignoring Rong Xue. However, just as Rong Xue felt that her reaction was too abnormal, she imitated Zuo Hancheng¡¯s nonchalant and indifferent attitude and said softly,¡±What¡¯s there to be ashamed of? He had never seen anyone choke on toast before.¡± ¡°When you choke on your toast, can you still pose in a particularly charming and good-looking position and give others an ¡®I¡¯m okay¡¯ gesture?¡± Anhao sighed and shook her head as she continued to eat her toast. She mumbled,¡±¡¯I¡¯m not a public figure, and no one is looking at me. Only abnormal people will always pay attention to their manners, afraid that others will see their indecent actions.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s calm face instantly turned green.¡±¡±You¡­¡± Anhao put down the toast and took a sip of milk before finally looking at Rong Xue. She smiled and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re all made up of 206 bones. Why are you pretending to be a white bone demon?¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right¡­¡± Anhao added before Rong Xue could say anything, almost forgot that someone who can stand on the position of an international superstar might have a few bones missing. For example, the plastic surgery industry is so developed now. It¡¯s also very possible to casually shave one¡¯s cheeks, grind one¡¯s bones, and then casually pull out a few ribs to make oneself look thinner in front of the camera¡­ ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I accidentally told you a few more bones. My math isn¡¯t very good, and the person in front of you specially found a tutor for me.¡±After Anhao finished speaking calmly, she clapped her hands and turned to call the waiter. ¡°I¡¯m not full yet. Give me another glass of milk.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s face turned green. Scolding in public was a big taboo. As a movie star, she was naturally not allowed to react angrily to all kinds of insults and black marks. However, all her professionalism over the years had almost been exhausted in front of a young girl who did not even look twenty years old. She held back her anger and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was still standing in front of her. He had obviously seen Gu Anhao¡¯s every move and heard her words. He did not have any intention of blaming Gu Anhao. When she looked at him, he smiled politely at her and said,¡±¡±She¡¯s still young. Please bear with her.¡± Rong Xue looked at his expression in disbelief. He was obviously protecting that little girl. ¡® Hancheng, I remember that you¡¯ve never been interested in girls your age. In the past, there were many young girls in America who liked and admired you. They even tried to get married with their parents ¡®power and interests in the business world, but you rejected them all. You once said that you liked a partner who was evenly matched with you. You admired a woman who was mature and rational in her career, personality, and any other aspects. Then what is she¡­¡± Anhao sipped her milk and slowly smacked her lips. So, Zuo Hancheng liked strong women who were extremely mature. It seemed that he had hit the jackpot. Tsk tsk, it seemed that all the good luck she had accumulated in the past nineteen years had been accumulated until now. Thinking about it, it seemed like she had not lost out. ¡°I also admire all the business competitors that rival the powerful ruler of the world. Most of them are men. Does this prove that I have a problem with my sexual orientation?¡± ¡°Pfft¡­ Anhao couldn¡¯t help but spit it out. Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue, who had been interrupted by her ¡± baby-spitting¡± voice, looked in her direction with different expressions. Anhao awkwardly wiped her mouth with a napkin, then raised her hand and chuckled in their direction.¡±¡±l¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I couldn¡¯t help it.¡± Rong Xue looked at her coldly.¡± If you haven¡¯t weaned yet, go home and drink milk. Spitting milk outside is not a good habit.¡±¡± Anhao almost spat it out again. She thought that something was wrong. If she spat it out again, wouldn¡¯t it be exactly what Miss Rong wanted? She pursed her lips and swallowed the milk. She decided not to continue to participate in the war between the ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend. After all, she was an international superstar. If she provoked her directly, she would probably drown herself in the saliva of a few cars of fans. After all, her husband was still hers. She had to use her wits to deal with her love rival. Seeing that Gu Anhao pretended not to hear her and continued to drink her milk, Rong Xue looked at her coldly again. Then, she looked up at Zuo Hancheng, only to see that his eyes were much colder. It was obvious that he had run out of patience with her. ¡°I¡¯ll leave after saying a few words.¡± Although Rong Xue was hurt, she still insisted on saving her face. She looked at him seriously.¡±Even if Yi Xing can¡¯t sign my contract, even if I can only sign contracts with other second-tier entertainment companies here, I will definitely return to this country.¡± ¡°This is your freedom. I have no right to interfere.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained indifferent. ¡°Then why do you have to stop Yixing from signing the contract with my American company? You should know that if I were to directly enter a first-tier entertainment company like Yi Xing after returning to China, my net worth would rise to the highest level in the country. Yet, you just had to stop me from returning to China. You were so determined that you didn¡¯t even give me any room for negotiation.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly,¡± I¡¯ve already said that this is a decision made after the company¡¯s analysis. Miss Rong, you¡¯re not a child. You should understand that some decisions cannot be made by one person alone. My decisions only account for a small percentage. You don¡¯t have to question me.¡±¡± ¡°Even if you only make forty percent of the decisions, or even one percent, everyone will definitely listen to this one percent!¡±Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred.¡±¡±You still say that you¡¯re not taking revenge on me? Translator Star is already under your control. If they don¡¯t sign me, I can only go to a second-tier company. Do you want to see me start off like this after I return to China? Aren¡¯t you insulting me in this way because you still hate me?¡± Zuo Hancheng remained calm as he listened to Rong Xue¡¯s bitter complaints. ¡°Yi Xing has long been abandoned by me. I have no intention of wasting my time on such an entertainment company. If Miss Rong has any other questions, you can contact the person in charge of Yi Xing.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes gradually turned red as she stared at him. Just as Zuo Hancheng turned around indifferently and was about to leave, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt. Zuo Hancheng paused and did not turn around.. His snow-white eyes stared at his heartless back and asked softly, ¡®¡±Yi Xing is your abandoned child, then what about me? Am I already abandoned by you?¡± Chapter 190 - Chapter 190: Explosive Combat Strength (6) Chapter 190: Explosive Combat Strength (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at his sleeve that was being pulled. His expression was as calm as the snowy plains in winter. It seemed calm, but it was so cold that it made people feel despair. Anhao was about to get goosebumps from this scene, but the male lead was her husband. She really couldn¡¯t just watch the show. Hey, hey, hey, that¡¯s my husband¡¯s sleeve. Don¡¯t grab it tightly? Such expensive clothes were scratched and ruined. It was very expensive, okay¡­ (Here, the shirt who was spat out by Anhao, pulled by Anhao, passed by silently with tears in their eyes Rong Xue looked at him with slightly red eyes.¡± I once tried so hard to become someone who could stand by your side with my head held high. I abandoned all the inheritance rights that my parents gave me. I just wanted to rely on my own efforts to become someone worthy of your love and qualified to stand by your side. What did I do wrong?¡± ¡°Let alone five years, even if this road is difficult, even if I have to work hard for another ten years, I¡¯m willing. At least I¡¯m standing at the peak of my career now. When I¡¯m by your side, I won¡¯t be afraid of falling anymore because I¡¯m already qualified enough to love you. Is all my hard work so worthless in your eyes?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained indifferent as he pulled her hand down and let go. Rong Xue¡¯s hand froze in mid-air and slowly fell.¡±¡±ls this the answer you gave ¡°A person¡¯s hard work is never wrong. No matter what method you use to get to the top, it¡¯s only your own choice.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm, but he seemed to be implying something.¡± As the leader of a corporation, I never deny anyone¡¯s hard work. Even if it¡¯s by hook or by crook, it¡¯s at least a way for the other party to strive for a higher level. However, when this person uses an unhonorable method to climb to the position she wants, the price that should be paid will also come.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes trembled and she looked at him stiffly. She could not say a word for a long time. After a long time, she took a step back in embarrassment and said in a very low voice,¡±¡±You¡­ Did you see it?¡± Zuo Hancheng expression was calm as he smiled politely at her.¡±¡±l won¡¯t sign the contract, and you don¡¯t have to try to find me through other means.¡± After saying that, he turned around and walked back to Anhao¡¯s direction. Rong Xue looked at him and said when he was about to return to the table,¡±¡±Even if I don¡¯t enter Yi Planet, I will still stay here. Just like I said, even if it¡¯s a second-tier company.¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks for a second. ¡°I¡¯m already doing well in Hollywood. How could the stardom in Asia be harder than in the United States? I¡¯ll let you see all the good things about me now and re-examine everything that we used to have.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not turn back to look at her and sat opposite Anhao. Rong Xue did not care about his indifference. She continued to look at his back and said softly, ¡°¡±Hancheng, I will let you return to my side.¡± After saying that, Rong Xue could no longer stand his indifference. She turned around and left, but she left the gift she wanted to give him at the entrance of the restaurant. Zuo Hancheng did not turn around. He sat down at the table and took a sip of cold tea. ¡°Domineering!¡± Anhao suddenly muttered. Zuo Hancheng paused and glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±What?¡± ¡°I say, Miss Rong, those few words before you left were really domineering.¡±Anhao clicked her tongue in praise.¡± I thought you would be a white lotus who would cry and beg you to turn back. I didn¡¯t expect you to be a poisonous lotus.¡±¡® Seeing Zuo Hancheng frown, Anhao cupped her chin and smiled.¡±¡±l like this kind of opponent. It suddenly makes me feel that being able to become Mrs. Zuo so easily is like saving the entire universe in my previous life.¡± ¡°You only feel a sense of accomplishment because of her?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. Anhao tilted her head and didn¡¯t explain. She held her chin and flicked her cheeks with her fingers. She smiled and said, ¡°¡±She came back for you, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. It was obvious that he did not want to continue on this topic. Anhao knew that it was not good for her to keep talking about her ex-girlfriend, but she still had to ask one last question. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll ask one last question. As long as she doesn¡¯t appear, I will never ask about Miss Rong again. After all, I¡¯m a girl, and I¡¯m born to gossip. I¡¯m very curious. Besides, I¡¯m your wife, so I have to understand the current situation, right?¡± ¡°Ask,¡± replied Zuo Hancheng calmly. ¡°She definitely came back for you. If she couldn¡¯t get into a first-tier company, she might as well get into a second-tier company. A Hollywood superstar would rather receive such treatment after returning to China than insist on coming back.¡±Anhao analyzed,¡± So, she will definitely appear in front of you often. What do you think the chances of you two rekindling your old love are?¡±¡¯ ¡°Zero.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the teacup beside him. He was completely unwilling to continue discussing this matter.¡±Are you done eating? If you¡¯re done, go back to your room.¡± ¡°Why are you going back to your room?¡± Anhao instantly changed the topic. ¡°You.¡± Anhao was stunned. It was only when she saw Zuo Hancheng turning around and walking towards the elevator that she suddenly realized what he meant. She immediately exploded and jumped up to run behind him.¡±Does your ex-girlfriend know you¡¯re such a hooligan?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we won¡¯t continue this topic?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly. ¡°The main topic now is that Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re a hooligan!¡±Anhao looked at him angrily.¡± How can you be so shameless to the CEO of Shengling Group so early in the morning? What I meant was, have you been this shameless to others before?¡±¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°Who are you lying to?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always been a gentleman.¡± ¡°Nonsense! How are you a gentleman! A gentleman is just your appearance, you are a hooligan on the inside!¡± ¡°That¡¯s only for one person.¡± Anhao followed him into the elevator in disbelief and glanced at him.¡±¡±Why is it only targeting me?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her wide-opened eyes on the mirror door and chuckled. He held her hand and said casually,¡±¡±Honey, whatever you say is justified.¡± Anhao choked. His words of love were too down-to-earth. However, she caught on to a key point and suddenly added,¡±Since you¡¯re officially your wife, then other than me, all the women who have designs on you are mistresses?¡± ¡°Who else has designs on me?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question. He merely turned his head and glanced at her. ¡°The one just now.¡± Anhao was amazed at his natural attitude of pretending to have amnesia so quickly. She raised her finger and pointed at an advertisement on the wall in the elevator.¡±That, and this,¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and saw that the advertisement was the only photo of his side profile in the media.. The slogan under his photo was¡­ Chapter 191 - Chapter 191: Anhao, Hurry Up and Feed Her (1) Chapter 191: Anhao, Hurry Up and Feed Her (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng turned around and saw that the advertisement was the only photo of his side profile in the media. The slogan under his photo was¡­ President Zuo, the national male god, is about to arrive at the exhibition center of our city. The diamond husband in the hearts of millions of unmarried girls can finally show his true colors. XX exhibition center, Block C welcomes you.. Anhao, who was standing at the side, had a smug look on her face as she nudged his arm with her hand.¡±This kind of invisible desire of countless women towards you, isn¡¯t it considered as having an ulterior motive?¡± Zuo Hancheng obviously did not notice that there was such an advertisement in the elevator for the past two days, but he said calmly,¡±¡±This happened yesterday. There weren¡¯t many strangers at the exhibition center last night. Most of them were companies contacting each other. This is just an advertisement for the exhibition center. After the event ends, they can continue to open the exhibition to the public to collect money.¡± ¡°Yeah, anyway, it¡¯s because there are too many women who have designs on you that they used such an unclear side profile photo of you to put on the billboard. They even used the only photo of you that was publicized in the media. Moreover, it¡¯s only a side profile that¡¯s not very clear. They can¡¯t even appeal for the right to the portrait. The person in charge of this exhibition center is really good at doing business.¡±Anhao nodded as she spoke.¡± You really don¡¯t need to show your face, Zuo Hancheng. Just your name alone is enough to attract more attention than the A-list male stars in the country.¡±¡® ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing to stand at the peak of a career.¡±Zuo Hancheng seemed to be moved by this rare event. He glanced at the billboard and said in a deep voice,¡±¡±lt¡¯s lonely at the top. Life is born to live a better life.¡± As expected of Zuo Hancheng. He was already such a successful person, but he had a normal heart and was very low-key. He never showed off his status, wealth, and everything he had. He was low-key and very cultured. He didn¡¯t have much vanity. Perhaps all of this stemmed from him being a rich child since he was young. He never felt that he was so envious when he stood at the top. A truly rich person should be as low-key and seemingly ordinary as him. In fact, although Anhao did not say it, she knew in her heart that although she had not been by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for a long time, not even half a year, she had gradually learned a lot about the ways of the world. Some growth had come without her knowing. The sky had just turned dark when Anhao got on the car back to A City. The driver was Mobai, so she was very relieved. Zuo Hancheng was reading a large stack of documents, so she simply sat in the car and covered her head with a coat before falling asleep. She slept soundly all the way back to A City. She was still asleep until Zuo Hancheng woke her up. She looked out and saw that she had returned to Liu Jing Garden. ¡°What time is it?¡± Anhao scratched her head, feeling a little drowsy. ¡°Miss Gu, it¡¯s almost eleven o¡¯clock at night. Go in and rest.¡± Anhao nodded and picked up her bag. She put on her coat and was about to get out of the car when she suddenly paused and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±Aren¡¯t you getting out of the car?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the company first. It¡¯s still daytime in the United States now. There¡¯s a last-minute international video conference over there. I¡¯ll be back after the meeting. It won¡¯t be past two in the morning.¡±Zuo Hancheng casually pulled her coat together and said,¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s been two to three days since you went to S City. You¡¯ve just recovered. Go back and continue sleeping.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you also tired from the long journey? Why aren¡¯t you resting at this late hour? Why do you have to go to the company for a video conference? Do you really not think of yourself as a mortal?¡±Anhao muttered. Mobai, who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, looked at the scene in the rearview mirror and immediately laughed.¡±¡±Miss Gu, you¡¯re becoming more and more concerned about President Zuo. I never saw you complain like this in the past, but now you¡¯ve learned to feel sorry for him.¡± ¡°What do you mean you¡¯ve learned to feel sorry for me now? I¡¯ve always felt that people like you who should be standing at the top and enjoying life are so busy that you don¡¯t even have time for yourselves. It¡¯s very boring. Why did he have to arrange his time so full and so hard?¡± Mobai smiled.¡± I can¡¯t answer you that. After all, the person sitting next to you is my boss. I also want to know why you have to work so hard.¡±¡® Obviously, Mobai was just joking with Anhao, but Anhao took it seriously and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Look, even Mobai is complaining. Not only do you think of yourself as a machine, but even your assistant has to follow you.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Go in and sleep. I promise you¡¯ll see me when you wake up tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is the weekend. I¡¯ll take a day off to accompany you, okay?¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± Only then did Anhao get out of the car with her bag. However, just as she was about to close the car door, she suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±lf you really take a day off, it won¡¯t affect your business, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her and said with a smile,¡±¡±l won¡¯t.¡± Anhao nodded and closed the car door. She waved at him reluctantly until the car drove out of the neighborhood. She shivered in the cold night wind and ran back to her house. Suddenly, she saw an unopened express delivery box in a garbage bin outside the door. The recipient¡¯s name on the box was Zuo Hancheng. That was strange. She had not been home for the past two days, and neither had Zuo Hancheng. She had not received any packages before, so why would someone throw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s package into the trash can? She saw that the trash can was already piled up with quite a lot of things. She hesitated for a moment and didn¡¯t take the box out. She turned around and walked to the security room at the entrance of the community. She knocked on the window. When the window opened, she asked,¡±Excuse me, our building is Mr. Zuo¡¯s residence. Did you receive a delivery in the past two days?¡± The two young men in the security room thought for a moment and nodded.¡± It¡¯s true that I received it yesterday afternoon.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°We haven¡¯t received the express delivery yet. Who threw the express delivery into the trash can?¡±Anhao found it strange. ¡°It¡¯s like this. Yesterday afternoon, a stranger suddenly sent this express delivery to us. We said that Mr. Zuo isn¡¯t at home at the moment. The person who sent the express delivery said that he would temporarily leave it here and wait for Mr. Zuo to come back to pick it up.¡± The security guard patiently explained,¡± But Mr. Zuo rarely receives express delivery, and he has never left it with us. Besides, for a person like Mr. Zuo, even if he has something important to mail, he should leave his company¡¯s address, not his private address.¡± Anhao immediately felt that there was something wrong with the express delivery. Indeed, Zuo Hancheng would never leave the address of his private residence when he mailed something. The two security guards had indeed considered everything.. Chapter 192 - Chapter 192: Anhao, Quickly Feed Her (2) Chapter 192: Anhao, Quickly Feed Her (2) Translator: 549690339 Another security guard next to him said, ¡± We just felt that there was something wrong with this express delivery. We asked the courier which express delivery company sent it, but the courier left without saying anything. We called Mr. Zuo to confirm, but Mr. Zuo told us to throw this box away, so we threw it away.¡± Although Anhao still didn¡¯t quite understand, she understood what the two security guards were saying. She then looked in the direction of the dustbin in confusion. She did not say anything and politely thanked the security guard before turning around and returning to her house. The box must have been left here for at least a day and a night. There had been no terrifying explosion so far, so it should not be a bomb or anything like that. However, Zuo Hancheng did not even look at the letter and asked the security guard to throw it away. Although she was puzzled, she did not have the urge to take the chopsticks out and open them. However, after a while, she felt that since Zuo Hancheng had asked the security guard to throw them away, he must have had his reasons. There was nothing to think about. He didn¡¯t care about this matter anymore and directly opened the door to enter the house. The floor heating at home was still more comfortable. Thinking about it, the heating level in A City in winter was indeed much better than that in S City. Anhao went to take a shower as soon as she entered the house. Then, she laid down comfortably on the sofa in the living room and looked at her phone. It was almost one o¡¯clock in the morning, and Zuo Hancheng would probably not be back for a while. She lay on the sofa and waited for a while before she could not hold on any longer, so she went back to the bedroom. She didn¡¯t go back to her bedroom upstairs. Of course, it wasn¡¯t because her room had been used by someone else. Even though Zuo Yue had a bad temper like him, she was very particular about hygiene. It was probably because of the way she was educated abroad and her parents ¡®way of education. Before she left, she actually changed the bedding that she had slept in into a new set. This was only discovered when Anhao went back to the bedroom to get her things. It was as if the bedroom had not been touched by anyone at all. There was not a single spot that had been rummaged through, so of course Anhao would not be unwilling to go back to the bedroom just because Zuo Yue had used it before. On the contrary, she missed Zuo Yue a little after leaving for a few days. When she entered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom, she could feel that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s aura was everywhere. She wanted to sleep here, so she threw herself on the bed, rolled over, and fell asleep. But Anhao had an unhappy dream. She dreamed that Rong Xue was holding Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm and laughing arrogantly in front of her. She dreamed that at someone¡¯s wedding, when the bride and groom turned around, their faces turned into Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue¡¯s faces. She dreamed that she had turned into their flower girl, following behind Rong Xue¡¯s long trailing wedding dress obediently and scattering rose petals on their heads¡­ She even dreamed that the basket full of roses in her arms suddenly turned into a baby in swaddling clothes, crying loudly in her arms. Someone ran over and patted her, whispering in her ear,¡±Anhao, your child is crying. Why aren¡¯t you feeding him?¡± Suddenly, Anhao woke up from her dream. Although it was not a nightmare, she was still shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She lowered her head and looked at the pillow that she was hugging tightly in her arms. There was no baby, no baby that needed her to feed! Motherf * cker! What kind of dream was this! It was one thing to dream of her husband and ex-girlfriend getting married, but she was actually so stupid as to be their flower girl! What was even more tragic was that she was carrying a child in her arms. The child was crying loudly from hunger, and someone actually asked her to feed him! What the hell is this! Could it be that the masochistic tendencies in her bones were so serious? Even in his dreams, he had made himself into such a tragic and stupid experience. She raised her hand and scratched her hair hard. She turned around and looked at the time displayed on the small alarm clock she had just bought on the bedside table. 5:30 AM. It was still dark outside. She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She secretly felt that the dream was too melodramatic and self-torturing. She had to dream again tomorrow night. She had to turn the bride into herself, and the flower girl into Rongxue or any other woman. Then, she would stuff Chunchun and Huang Amao into their arms and cry. She would definitely cry until their heads hurt. As she thought about it, she opened the bedroom door with resentment towards her dream. Just as she was about to walk out, she suddenly saw that the living room light was on. Zuo Hancheng was sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee and reading some documents. Anhao looked back at the time again and confirmed that it was 5:30 p. m. She couldn¡¯t help but walk out to the sofa and walk in front of him.¡±What time did you come back? Why aren¡¯t you sleeping at this hour? Why aren¡¯t you drinking coffee to refresh yourself?¡± ¡°There were some problems with the last two documents that needed to be approved. The secretary has revised them a few times and needs to review them again.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze fell on the document in his hand and saw a line of big words on it. New Construction Plan and Planning of Lianheng Mall Chain Building. She knew about Lianheng Mall. It seemed to be a chain department store that was introduced from Hong Kong to the mainland. It had a high influence in the country. Shengling could actually get such a big construction contract, which would have a great influence on all the construction companies under Shengling Group. However, seeing that Zuo Hancheng was looking at it very seriously, Anhao did not know what had happened to this shopping mall during the construction period. She wanted to persuade him to rest early, but seeing that he only had these two documents with him and nothing else, she did not want to disturb him. She picked up the coffee cup beside him and took a sip. She immediately frowned. ¡°It¡¯s so bitter. You¡¯re already so tired, but you¡¯re still drinking such bitter coffee to support yourself. Aren¡¯t you afraid of staying up late and dying? You¡¯re not afraid of staying up late and dying, but I¡¯m afraid of being a widow at a young age!¡± As she spoke, Anhao sat down beside him and looked at the documents in his hands.¡¯¡±¡®How much longer?¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the document in his hand and pulled her into his arms. He patted her shoulder gently and said, ¡°¡±1 heard you scream in your bedroom just now. Did you have a nightmare?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes. It would have been better if she hadn¡¯t mentioned the dream. She had almost forgotten about it, but when she mentioned the dream, she immediately pursed her lips and said, I had a really stupid dream. I feel so weak. Don¡¯t ask me what I dreamed about. I will never tell you that I dreamed of you and Rongxue getting married. I was a stupid flower girl behind you.. Zuo Hancheng turned his head and looked at her for a while. When Anhao raised her head and glared at him, she said,¡±¡±What are you looking at? Do you really want me to be your flower girl?¡±When she was done, she laughed out loud and raised her hand to stroke her head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this kind of thing will never happen. You¡¯re already too old..¡± Chapter 193 - Chapter 193: Choking to Death (1) Chapter 193: Choking to Death (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Can I take your words as a compliment?¡±Anhao glanced at him.¡± I¡¯m too old. I¡¯m still vomiting milk.¡¯¡±¡® As for the word ¡± vomit milk ¡°, Anhao was secretly pleased when she recalled Rong Xue¡¯s attitude of not cursing out loud even though she could not bear it anymore to maintain her image. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not think of the incident with Rong Xue because of her words, at least in her opinion, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be quite indifferent to Rong Xue. For a person like Zuo Hancheng, who was especially warm to his own people, to have an ex-girlfriend make him behave like this, there must be some lingering and sorrowful past. It was just that Zuo Hancheng was unwilling to talk about it, so there was no way she could get anything out of him. She rested her chin on her hand and tilted her head to see that his gaze had returned to the two documents. She picked up the coffee beside him and took another sip. It was so bitter that she gritted her teeth and raised her hand to fan her mouth. She quickly put down the coffee cup and stood up. ¡°I originally planned to accompany you through thick and thin, but it¡¯s too hard. I can¡¯t stand it! I¡¯ll go make breakfast for you!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze moved away from the document in his hand, but when he flipped a page, he chuckled and said,¡±¡±You made breakfast?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t use that doubtful tone, okay? I can still make fried rice with eggs, just like how I cook instant noodles. This is the most basic skill.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and turned to look at her.¡±¡±Then do it. Remember to wear heat-resistant gloves to avoid being scalded by oil.¡± Such a heartwarming reminder seemed to be despising her intelligence. She could even get scalded by an egg fried rice. Did she think that her IQwas zero? Anhao turned around and went straight into the kitchen. She ran to the fridge, took out the eggs, and cracked them. Just as she was about to cut the green onions, she suddenly froze and turned around to look around. Egg-Fried Rice. Now that the egg is here, where is the rice? He hadn¡¯t stayed at home for a few days. How could there be any rice? She glanced at the time and saw that it was not even six o¡¯clock yet. It was still not too late to cook, so she went back to washing the rice and cooking. This time, the kitchen was no longer as noisy as last time. Although Anhao was wearing indoor slippers and running back and forth on the kitchen floor, the noise was not small, but at least compared to last time, it was considered orderly now. Zuo Hancheng continued to read the documents in his hands. After all, Anhao really needed room to grow. After she had learned her lesson once, she had to try again. Even if she really blew up the kitchen for a bowl of Egg Fried Rice, he could only let her be. However, Anhao¡¯s performance this time was really unexpected. It took her more than 40 minutes to finish cooking the rice and fried rice. When she brought out the two bowls of fried rice with eggs, she turned around and said, ¡°It¡¯s time to eat, it¡¯s time to eat Come and try my egg fried rice.¡± After Zuo Hancheng signed the document at the bottom, he got up and turned around to see Anhao¡¯s happy expression. He smiled and went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, the food that was still very hot was already at a moderate temperature. Anhao sat at the dining table and waited for him. Zuo Hancheng walked out with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. There were still water droplets dripping from his black hair on his chest. They slid down his chest and finally entered the towel wrapped around his waist. It was a scene that made one¡¯s imagination run wild. Anhao bit her chopsticks and pretended not to see it, only lowering her head to stare at the bowl in front of her. A few days ago, when Zuo Yue stayed here, she did not see Zuo Hancheng dressed so casually and revealing after taking a shower. It was obvious that he was deliberately seducing her this early in the morning. ¡°Can we eat now?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked as they approached the dining table. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s enough. Hurry up and eat. It¡¯ll get cold in a while.¡±Anhao raised her head and looked at him again, only to see that Zuo Hancheng had already walked to the opposite side of the table and was about to sit down. Looking at his naked upper body, which was so perfect that it couldn¡¯t be any more perfect, Anhao bit her chopsticks hard. She really knew what it meant to be a man seducing a woman! Zuo Hancheng was about to pick up his chopsticks when he saw Anhao lowering her head, not daring to look him in the eye. However, she would steal glances at him from time to time. Her face was already blushing, but she lowered her head a little so that he would not notice. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say it¡¯s going to be cold soon?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled as he looked at her. Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao put down the chopsticks in her mouth.¡±¡±l¡¯ll eat it now¡­¡± In order to prevent his breakfast from being interrupted, Zuo Hancheng still mercifully got up and went into the bedroom to change into the casual shirt and trousers that he often wore at home. In an instant, he turned from a sexy man to a beautiful sight at home, warm and approachable. This made Anhao relax a lot. She raised her head and smiled at him.¡±Quick, try it. How¡¯s the egg fried rice I¡¯ve made?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the fried rice in his bowl. The rice was indeed rice, and the egg was indeed an egg. However, the rice was still pale, as if it had just been cooked and thrown into the wok to be stir-fried before being scooped out. Then, he looked at the egg.. He sat down and used his chopsticks to pick up the black things on the rice. One could still see the yellow color of the egg inside, and one could barely recognize that it was an egg. Anhao could not feel the scrutiny in his eyes at all. She only said excitedly, ¡°Although the color doesn¡¯t look good, there¡¯s nothing wrong with the eggs and rice. Try it!¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and took a bite under her excited gaze. Then, he chewed and swallowed calmly. ¡°How is it? How did it taste? Does it taste like the Master Chef of China?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly and said in a flat voice,¡±¡±What did you put in there?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal to just add salt when making Egg Fried Rice? I felt that it was too common to only add salt, and I really couldn¡¯t make it to my standard. I put half a box of Thirteen Fragrance inside.¡± ¡°Cough¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng coughed softly and raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose. After coughing twice as if it was not too serious, he picked up the glass beside him and took a sip of water.¡±Try it yourself.¡± Anhao noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were a little red. She looked at him in shock. ¡°Is it necessary? My Egg Fried Rice is so delicious that you¡¯re so touched that you want to cry? Men don¡¯t cry easily. I¡¯ll be proud if my eyes turn red just because I¡¯m touched.¡± As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and looked at Zuo Hancheng again. He took another sip of water and ate another mouthful of fried rice calmly. Then, he looked at her calmly and said, ¡°Why are you looking at me? Try it?¡± While Anhao was staring at him, she had already lowered her head. When she smelled the choking smell of the fried rice, she suddenly became a little uncertain.. Chapter 194 - Chapter 194: Choking to Death (2) Chapter 194: Choking to Death (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s delicious?¡± She asked tentatively. Zuo Hancheng smiled and took another sip of water. He said calmly,¡±¡±Yes, I¡¯m very touched.¡± Anhao was a little skeptical, but she didn¡¯t know whether she should trust him or her own nose. In the end, she still took a bite. As soon as she took a bite, she frowned. She chewed twice and didn¡¯t swallow. She directly spat it out. She turned around and rushed to the bathroom to vomit and rinse her mouth. ¡°Cough¡­* Cough * Oh my god¡­¡± After rinsing her mouth, she looked up and saw that her eyes were red and tears were flowing out of her eyes. She quickly continued rinsing her mouth and washing her face. After a long while, she finally walked out with a depressed expression and saw Zuo Hancheng sitting at the dining table, calmly drinking water. ¡® How could you trick me into eating such a horrible thing? Zuo Hancheng, how could you hold back for so long without shedding a tear just to trick me into eating such a horrible thing? Are you even human?!¡¯¡±¡® ¡°I also want to know if you are human or not.¡±Zuo Hancheng put down his glass and looked at her with a half-smile.¡±¡±Half a box of Thirteen Fragrance, are you trying to choke someone to death or murder someone?¡± Anhao choked for a moment, and after a long while, she said,¡±¡±l forgot where I saw a saying. It said that when cooking, it will taste very good with some thirteen fragrances¡­l thought the fried rice would taste better if I put more in¡­¡± ¡°Your IQ is barely passable in other aspects, but forget it when it comes to cooking.¡±Zuo Hancheng had a helpless expression on his face.¡±¡±How much rice is left?¡± . And¡­ About two bowls. It should be enough for us if we make it again.¡±¡±Do you want to do it?¡± Anhao blinked.¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t say anything but glanced at the Egg Fried Rice on the table. He couldn¡¯t bear to choke it up. He got up and walked over, but he pushed Anhao into the kitchen. He tied the apron on her again and pushed her to the stove while Anhao was still in a daze. ¡°Fire!¡± Anhao turned around and looked at him in surprise.¡±¡±You still want me to do ¡°Since you insist on making breakfast for me, you can¡¯t end up failing every time.¡±¡±Don¡¯t just stand there in a daze. Open fire,¡± Zuo Hancheng said softly.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao quickly did as she was told. Zuo Hancheng was the one who monitored and guided the entire process, including turning on the range hood, draining the oil, putting in the eggs, putting in the scallions, and putting in the rice that had already cooled down. This included turning the fire to a medium-low when pouring the egg liquid. In the end, when the Egg Fried Rice was cooked, Anhao couldn¡¯t believe that the two bowls of delicious Egg Fried Rice were cooked by herself. The taste of the rice in his mouth was very authentic. Even though he was not good at using oil and salt and controlling the fire, at least the rice was edible and fragrant. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng as she ate.¡±¡±l have a question.¡± Zuo Hancheng was almost done eating. He put down his cutlery and glanced at her. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Your house in Liujing Garden is so big. Do you usually only hire part-time workers and cleaning aunties to come and clean it? Why didn¡¯t you hire a housekeeper or something? This way, she could clean the house and cook.¡± ¡°There are no children or elderly people in this house. Why would they hire a nanny?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t all rich people like this? I¡¯m too lazy to clean, too lazy to cook, basically, other than the ability to make money, I don¡¯t know how to do anything else. It¡¯s really strange that a CEO like you, who can¡¯t be described as rich, doesn¡¯t even hire a nanny.¡± ¡°This is only an individual case. Unless I really treat this house as a hotel and only come back for the night, perhaps I will ask this type of auntie to stay at home.¡± ¡°However, this place is a quiet place for me to rest, far away from all the chaos and noise, so I never planned to hire anyone to be a live-in nanny here. I don¡¯t want my life to be disturbed by outsiders.¡± Zuo Hancheng patiently said a few words to her before he took a newspaper from the table. ¡°So I¡¯m not considered an outsider?¡± Anhao was stunned.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng looked away from the newspaper and glanced at her. He was too lazy to answer her as if she was talking nonsense. However, when she kept looking at him, he said calmly,¡±¡±Of course, Mrs. Zuo wouldn¡¯t do that. You¡¯re the one who hasn¡¯t adjusted your status.¡± Anhao pursed her lips and lowered her head to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice. After she felt full, she said as she cleaned up the dishes,¡±¡±l will learn how to make breakfast. This time, Zuo Hancheng did not even lift his eyelids and said softly,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need. Today, I¡¯m just fulfilling your wish to make breakfast. You don¡¯t have to specially learn it.¡± This was more or less a form of indulgence. Anhao was in a good mood and smiled. When she got up with the bowl and chopsticks, she turned around and saw the dustbin in the corner not far away. She suddenly remembered the dustbin she saw outside the door yesterday. She turned around and said, ¡°I saw your package in the trash can outside yesterday, but the security guard said that you asked them to throw it away.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything at first. Atter a while, he put down the newspaper and looked at her calmly.¡±l asked them to throw it away.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Although Anhao didn¡¯t understand what was going on, she nodded and was about to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes and be a diligent wife. However, she had just taken a step when she heard him say,¡±ln the future, don¡¯t accept any express delivery that is sent to the Gilded Scenic Garden with my name on it. Throw it away.¡± Anhao paused for a moment and turned around. Was there a bomb or poison in the package?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡±The bomb has been in the dustbin outside the door for two days and hasn¡¯t exploded yet?¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m just making a comparison. What I mean is, is this a commercial attack or something? Anyway, there can¡¯t be anything good in those express packages, right?¡± This time, Zuo Hancheng nodded slightly. She was right. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know. Don¡¯t touch those things too much. Recently, some profiteers in City A have made some big moves. Those express deliveries from unknown directions are just a small start.¡± Even if it was not a bomb, it was probably something important. For example, if it was stained with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fingerprint, it would be transferred to a fake document as a signature and stamp. She had heard of this type of commercial fraud before, so it seemed that those unfamiliar things should not be touched casually. She understood and nodded.¡± Alright, I won¡¯t touch it. I won¡¯t ask too much. I¡¯ll go wash the dishes.¡± Anhao smiled as she raised the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and turned around to enter the kitchen in a good mood. Looking at her cheerful back, Zuo Hancheng smiled at first, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He picked up his phone and made a call. The moment the call connected, he turned around and walked to the French window not far away.. Chapter 195 - Chapter 195: Choking to Death (3) Chapter 195: Choking to Death (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Tell Lian Heng¡¯s people to behave themselves. If they dare to find trouble with me because of the materials used in the construction facilities, I will let them know the consequences of going against Sheng Ling.¡± ¡°President Zuo, Lian Heng¡¯s hands and feet have always been dishonest. Recently, there seems to be some problems at the construction site. If we have time, I think we should go to the construction site to inspect it personally, so that they won¡¯t continue to cut corners and cause unnecessary trouble.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything after hearing that. He only looked at the dustbin far away from the courtyard and said after a long while,¡±¡± They have repeatedly tried to push the responsibility of cutting corners to Sheng Ling. Because the documents for the materials used did not get the final approval, they have been trying to get my fingerprints to make fake documents to submit to the government. In the past few days, they have sent more people to keep an eye on the government. The people in charge of Lian Heng¡¯s case in the Construction Bureau are despicable. In addition, my opponent from the United States has returned to participate in Lian Heng¡¯s case. It will be a lot more troublesome.¡± ¡°Okay, President Zuo, I got it. I¡¯ll send someone to pay attention.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the phone and heard Anhao¡¯s voice coming out of the kitchen. She came out with a cup of freshly heated milk in her hand. As she drank, she looked in his direction.¡±Can you really rest for a day today? He couldn¡¯t have gone to the company to work overtime, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned back to look at her and smiled faintly.¡±¡±l¡¯m the boss. Who dares to call me to work overtime when I¡¯m planning to take a vacation?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Anhao smacked her lips and raised her glass in his direction.¡±¡±Do you want a cup too?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and continued to look at the two documents on the coffee table.¡±¡±l¡¯m giving you a mission. Do you want to accept it?¡± ¡°Mission? Is there a reward?¡± Anhao walked over curiously. ¡°The reward is that I¡¯ll take you to America for a vacation after this matter is over.¡± ¡°Tsk, you said you would take me on a vacation, but now you¡¯re actually in a clearing mode again. You still have to complete the mission before accompanying me.¡±Anhao said, but she had already walked to his side.¡±What mission?¡± At the same time, Zuo Hancheng picked up the two documents on the coffee table, flipped through them a few more times, and handed them to her. ¡°Send these two documents to the manager¡¯s office on the fifth floor of City A¡¯s Construction Bureau in two days.¡±¡± Also, these two documents must not be seen by anyone else before they are delivered,¡± Zuo Hancheng said.¡± When you walk into the Construction Bureau, don¡¯t let anyone find out that you are related to Shengling Group. Anhao looked at him in confusion and took the two documents from him. She had only seen the names of the documents on the top. She did not expect it to be so complicated. She had a headache reading it. When she flipped to the last page, she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s signature was ¡± Rejected.¡± ¡°What is this?¡± she asked. Such a strange document had to be sent to the Construction Bureau? Why am I the one sending it?¡± ¡°Because you¡¯re the only non-Shengling Group employee by my side. Most importantly, you¡¯re one of the people I trust.¡± Anhao noticed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s serious and serious gaze on her and guessed that these two documents must be very important. Otherwise, he would not have stayed up all night to finish reading these documents when he was so tired. If she couldn¡¯t let others find out that she was related to Shengling Group, then it should be related to his company. If she did this, firstly, she would be trusted by him. Secondly, she might be the most suitable person by his side at the moment. Hence, she didn¡¯t ask any more questions. She stuffed the document in her hand into a brown paper bag at the side and raised her hand to make an OK gesture.¡±l¡¯ll definitely deliver it safely. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Don¡¯t get too cocky. In recent years, the development of the real estate industry in the country has become more and more unbalanced. The Construction Bureau is a very important place. It¡¯s not a place where you can enter just because you want to. Don¡¯t let others see through your little tricks. You just have to deliver the goods with a ¡®pure¡¯ purpose. You don¡¯t have to say anything.¡± ¡°Then, let¡¯s make a deal. After this is done, you¡¯ll take me to America for a vacation.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°You agreed so casually. Could there be some conspiracy?¡±Anhao squinted at him. Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± I haven¡¯t been back to America for five years. It¡¯s time for me to bring you back to meet your family. This is a schedule that should have been set a long time ago. Of course, it¡¯s not a conspiracy.¡± Hearing that he was bringing her back to the Zuo family, Anhao felt a chill down her spine. The scene of him mistakenly answering Mother Zuo¡¯s call flashed through his mind. He also thought of the words he had said to Mother Zuo without restraint, as well as Zuo Yue¡¯s words about his grandfather wanting to hug his great-grandson as soon as possible. He instantly felt that his future was at a loss. ¡°Can I not go?¡± she lamented. Then let¡¯s go somewhere else for a holiday. Let¡¯s not go to America¡­¡± ¡°You can¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was light, but his tone did not allow for rejection. ¡°Why? If I go to see your family so early, I¡¯ll definitely have a fragile heart. If your parents don¡¯t like me, if your grandfather doesn¡¯t like me, if your family doesn¡¯t like me, then I¡¯ll definitely be so angry that I¡¯ll tear down the roof of your house. Are you sure you want me to see them?¡± ¡°How do you know if they like it or not?¡± ¡°Just think about it. I¡¯m already persistent enough to not feel inferior in front of you, but if you want me to face your family, I¡¯ll instantly wither. I don¡¯t have a background, I don¡¯t have a career, and I¡¯m just a poor student who hasn¡¯t even graduated from high school. Your parents and elders must have eyes on the top of their heads. How could they take a fancy to me¡­Besides¡­¡± Besides, she had said over the phone in front of her future mother-in-law that she had not taught her son well since he was young. She had also said so many bad things about Zuo Hancheng. They would definitely dislike her even more! She didn¡¯t want to go to the Zuo family to be tortured. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± When you received the call from the United States, what exactly did you say on the phone? Anhao pursed her lips and looked at him pitifully.¡±¡±You really don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Something I should know?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± Anhao looked at him and hesitated for a moment. She felt that perhaps he was the only one who could protect her now. She raised her hand and bit her nails before continuing with a pitiful and innocent expression, ¡®¡±¡® I told auntie that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother must have not taught him well since he was young. She did not know that her son was so capricious and evil. He liked to bully the flowers of the motherland¡­¡± ¡°I also said¡­Zuo Hancheng has a lot of women around him, and his love life is very messy¡­¡± ¡± Also, I didn¡¯t know that she was Aunt Zuo at first. I thought that it was a call from a woman who liked you. I even advised her to leave you, saying that you weren¡¯t worthy of being entrusted to her for the rest of her life. I suggested that she find someone else to marry¡­¡± ¡°Do you think I can still be saved?¡± Anhao looked at him with a sad face.¡± ¡°You¡¯re on your own.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± Anhao was speechless. In an instant, she was already crying uncontrollably.. Chapter 196 - Chapter 196: Zuo Hancheng Is in Danger (1) Chapter 196: Zuo Hancheng Is in Danger (1) Translator: 549690339 The next day. Anhao was about to bring the documents that Zuo Hancheng had given her to the Construction Bureau, but Chunchun was about to go to another city for a two-month internship, so she rushed to the high-speed rail station to send Chunchun off. Huang Amao was also at the station. Anhao and Huang Amao watched Chunchun¡¯s ticket as she entered the station while whispering in the waiting room,¡±¡±She¡¯s only 18 years old, and her parents are already asking her to go to the company for an internship. I feel that after she goes to university, Chunchun¡¯s parents will be even crueler and more heartless than my parents to let Chunchun face this dark society earlier.¡± Anhao glanced at her from the corner of her eyes.¡± Is it very dark?¡± Huang Amao pouted.¡±¡±l started my internship at my relative¡¯s company the day before yesterday. I thought that I was just a student who hadn¡¯t graduated from high school and that no one would bully me. But now I know that the younger you are and the less qualifications you have, the easier it is for you to be bullied in the workplace. Especially when others don¡¯t know your background and think that you are just a girl who graduated early and dropped out of school. Those arrogant female colleagues will occasionally glance at you with disdain and ridicule. Oh my god, I really want to tear those people¡¯s faces apart.¡± ¡°But when my parents heard about it, they said that this was the reason why they let me start my internship from the bottom. They also didn¡¯t reveal that I had entered the internship through the back door. They wanted me to see through the ways of the world as soon as possible and grow up as soon as possible. They didn¡¯t want me to be so childish¡­ Huang Amao shook her head as she spoke.¡± I suddenly feel that it¡¯s good to be a student. At least I don¡¯t have to face professionals who are scarier than people like Han Ru. Now I know what kind of person Han Ru is. She¡¯s really a low-level moron. Anhao was even more worried about Chunchun when she saw that Huang Amao was already so emotional and worried after only two days of internship at her relative¡¯s company. Chunchun¡¯s personality was the most unruly, barbaric, and cynical among the three of them. She had always been spoiled by her parents. It was fine if she was a good sister or a loyal friend in school, but if she really had the same experience as Huang Amao, then when she returned two months later, the three sisters would really be a pure three-person team. Anhao raised her hand and touched the goosebumps on her arm.¡±¡±l¡¯m going to the Construction Bureau later. Are we going the same way?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not on the way. I specially took two hours off to send Chunchun off. The direction of my relative¡¯s company seems to be the opposite of the Construction Bureau you mentioned.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t wait for you. I¡¯ll leave first. If I¡¯m any later, the Construction Bureau will be off work.¡±Anhao said as she checked the things in her canvas bag. In order to appear harmless when she passed by the entrance of the Construction Bureau later, she even specially prepared a pair of thin framed glasses that looked especially ladylike. She put them on and fiddled with her hair. Just like that, she walked out of the high-speed rail station with the aura of an obedient female student. At the entrance of the high-speed rail station, Anhao raised her hand to adjust her glasses. Just as she was about to take a selfie on her phone to check if there was anything wrong with her appearance, a clean hand suddenly reached out and placed it on her arm. She paused and turned around to look at a boy who seemed to be about her age. The man who suddenly reached out to touch her was handsome and fair. He was wearing a cool motorcycle leather jacket that matched his age. He had a black cap on his head and carried a branded men¡¯s travel bag and luggage in his other hand. When Anhao looked at him strangely, he gave her a smile that he thought could charm people to death.¡±¡±Excuse me, this is my first time in A City, so I¡¯m not familiar with the route. May I know how to get to the apartment?¡± ¡°Shangtai Apartment?¡± Anhao sized him up again. The Shangtai apartment was the closest new apartment to City A. The environment was good, and the property was expensive. Generally, the people who could live there, be it the owner or the tenant, were people who could get close to the rich. She glanced at the cool and arrogant boy in the black motorcycle leather jacket again. She raised her fair little finger and pointed outside the high-speed rail station expressionlessly. ¡°Since you know that it¡¯s the most convenient to take the high-speed rail from the airport to City A, you should know that it¡¯s more convenient to hail a taxi outside than to pull a stranger to ask for directions at the high-speed rail station.¡± The boy didn¡¯t seem to expect that the girl he pulled at the last minute had such an indifferent attitude. Looking at her smug appearance with glasses and the way she avoided his hand, the boy smiled.¡±l¡¯m sorry, my driver only parked my car in the parking lot outside the high-speed rail station, but I¡¯m not familiar with the route here. I wanted to ask someone for directions before driving myself¡­¡± ¡°Then you can also use the GPS.¡± Anhao looked at him indifferently.¡± Don¡¯t think that just because you look like a greasy boy, you can casually grab a girl of your age. Not all women will be interested in a boy like you and be willing to help you. Even Anhao herself did not know why she felt that he was particularly unpleasant to the eye. She vaguely felt that she had seen him before, or that he looked like someone else, but she could not recall at the moment. In any case, she just felt that he was an eyesore and was too lazy to give him a good look. She glanced at the check slip on his suitcase again. When she saw the string of English words on it, she muttered softly,¡±Why have I met so many people from America recently?¡± With that, she turned around and walked out of the high-speed rail station without looking back. The boy who had been left behind by her looked at her back with a face that didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he snorted and raised his hand to adjust the collar of his leather jacket. He raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful and delicate, but her personality is quite fierce.¡± Anhao completely ignored the stranger. When she walked out, she was about to hail a taxi, but because it was the peak hour after the high-speed rail arrived, there were not many empty cars on the way. She had to buy a bottle of water by the roadside and wait for a few minutes before going to hail a taxi. Just as he was drinking water, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.¡±Ah! Why did you snatch my things? Robbery! Robbery-¡± With water in her mouth, Anhao turned to look in the direction of the voice. She saw a young woman holding a child in one hand and pointing anxiously at the corner of the high-speed rail station building not far away. Anhao looked in that direction but didn¡¯t see anyone else around the corner. Instead, she saw the young man in the black leather jacket with a bag in his hand. He was about to walk towards the corner. The surrounding people were just watching the show and had no intention of helping. The woman holding the child stood there helplessly and shouted. Anhao gulped down the water in her mouth and ran in that direction.. Chapter 197 - Chapter 197: Zuo Hancheng is in Danger (2) Chapter 197: Zuo Hancheng is in Danger (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao gulped down the water in her mouth and ran in that direction. ¡°Stop! Why did he have to be a robber at such a young age?¡±As soon as Anhao chased after him, she grabbed the boy¡¯s arm and held him down with a reverse grapple. Before the boy could react, he was pressed down by her forceful action. The luggage and travel bag in his hand fell to the ground beside his feet. The boy cried out in pain. When she locked his hand behind his back, he turned around and saw the girl behind him. He instantly cursed speechlessly, ¡°What robber? I went to the parking lot to get my car. Did I offend you?¡± Anhao was unwilling to listen to his explanation and pressed him down hard. Anyway, she had gotten the upper hand just now and held him down first. Even if this kid had some skills, he could not pull his hand out from behind his back now. He could only be pressed down by her. She turned around and looked at the young woman who was carrying the child.¡±Which bag is your?¡± The woman who was carrying the child looked at Anhao with a strange expression, then looked at the young man who was held down by Anhao. In the end, she said helplessly,¡±¡±Sister, you¡¯ve caught the wrong person. My bag was snatched away by the man in blue who looked to be in his thirties. It¡¯s not this young man¡­¡± Anhao was stunned, but she still didn¡¯t let go. She turned her head to look at the corner at the side and understood. The person who snatched the bag just now should have turned around this corner. No wonder she didn¡¯t see anyone else. ¡°You heard it now? I didn¡¯t rob you, and you¡¯re still holding onto me? Other than being cold when asked for directions, do you girls in City A have violent tendencies? Let go of me! It hurts!¡± The man¡¯s hand was twisted by Anhao until it was almost deformed. His face turned pale from the pain. Anhao was embarrassed. She had wanted to help, but she didn¡¯t expect that not only did she not help, but she also accidentally offended an innocent person. She glanced at the boy and slowly let go of his hand. When he retracted his hand and straightened his body to rub his wrist, Anhao secretly glanced at him, who seemed to be rubbing for a while before turning around. Suddenly, she turned around and ran away. The young woman who had her bag snatched looked at the strange girl with a blank expression. Then, she saw the young man in front of her turn around and call out to her with an extremely angry expression, ¡°Hey, why are you running? Stop right there!¡± It would be strange if he didn¡¯t run! Just now, she had already offended that kid. She even attacked him just now. She would be a fool if she did not run. ¡°F * Ck.¡± The boy rubbed his wrist as he looked at Anhao, who had already quickly gotten into a taxi by the roadside, in disbelief. He said in a low voice,¡±¡±Where did this crazy girl come from? He was so rude to strangers, so violent, and ran as fast as a rabbit. Was he human?¡± Anhao sat in the car and smiled at the driver,¡±¡±Please go to the Construction Bureau. I¡¯m in a hurry. Please drive faster.¡± Anhao let out a long sigh of relief when the taxi sped onto the right path. She turned around and looked in the direction of the high-speed rail station, which was already very far away. She thought about how she hadn¡¯t practiced the reverse grappling hand on anyone for a long time. She didn¡¯t expect that a boy who looked to be at least 1.8 meters tall would be held down by her before she even had a hand. Even she herself was surprised. Tsk tsk, that kid looks like a rich kid. He¡¯s probably the type who gives clothes and food to others. He¡¯s probably spoiled so much that he doesn¡¯t need to carry anything heavy, so he can¡¯t even untie a grappling hand. Anhao thought proudly, but at the same time, she remembered that the kid seemed to be going to the Shangtai apartment closest to A High School. She wondered if he lived there. She hoped that she would not meet him again in the future. The taxi stopped at the entrance of the Construction Bureau. Anhao got out of the car and patted her already neat clothes. She pushed her glasses up her nose bridge and walked over. Outside the security room at the entrance of the Construction Bureau, a few security guards and a man in a black suit saw a stranger enter and immediately went forward to stop her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. If you want to enter the Construction Bureau, please register your ID number here and state your purpose of visit. ¡°The security guard handed her a registration book. A few men in black suits beside her looked at her carefully. They saw that she was dressed like a student and indeed looked very young. She did not look like someone in disguise. She was also wearing glasses and was full of student aura, which made them even more puzzled. Anhao ignored their gazes and obediently took out her identity card to register herself. They checked her identity card and confirmed that she was indeed a 19-year-old student. Their suspicions about her intentions had lessened a little, but they still asked seriously,¡±¡±What is a student doing in the Construction Bureau?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this. My uncle is the Section Chief of the Construction Bureau. He¡¯s that Section Chief Gu. You should know that he¡¯s my fourth uncle. He told me to come to his workplace more often and get to know the people around him. He even planned to find an opportunity for me to come here for an internship when I go to university next year.¡± The security guards and the men in suits did not quite understand what she meant and looked at her with puzzled eyes. Moreover, there were several Section Chiefs in the Construction Bureau. Who knew which one she was talking about? Anhao smiled awkwardly,¡±Actually, what I mean is very clear. My family hopes that I can work in an organization when I grow up. My uncle is a section chief here, so they want me to follow my uncle here to familiarize myself with the environment¡­Anyway¡­ It was just this one thing¡­lt was not easy to explain it too clearly¡­Look¡­ Don¡¯t report this to the people inside. Let me go in and find my uncle myself, okay?¡± He finally understood what the little guy meant. It turned out that she had wanted to get in line through the back door early on, so that she wouldn¡¯t have a seat when she went to university. This kind of situation was very common in the government. Usually, this type of person was about the same age as this little girl, so there was indeed nothing suspicious. ¡°Your bag is so big. What are you carrying?¡± ¡°Why is the investigation so strict?¡± Anhao blinked innocently and opened the canvas bag.¡±Then, here are some books that I occasionally read during the winter vacation. After all, I¡¯m in my third year of high school. It¡¯s almost time for the college entrance examination, so I have to read and revise often. This folder contains my academic results and student files.¡± Anhao said as she took out the folder containing the important documents and pretended to open it for them. ¡°There¡¯s no need to look at the student files.¡± Anhao paused and smiled gratefully at her words.¡±¡±Thank you, handsome guys. If I have the chance to work in the Construction Bureau in the future, I¡¯ll definitely make coffee for you every day.¡± As she said that, she walked into the main door of the Construction Bureau with a smile and calmly put the file back into the canvas bag.. Chapter 198 - Chapter 198: Zuo Hancheng Is in Danger (3) Chapter 198: Zuo Hancheng Is in Danger (3) Translator: 549690339 There was a huge hall in the Construction Bureau. When Anhao walked in, no one came to greet her. It seemed that everyone was busy with their own work and would not come to greet a stranger. Anhao turned around and looked around before walking straight to the elevator. After waiting outside the elevator for a while, the elevator finally reached the first floor. As soon as they entered, two middle-aged men suddenly walked in from behind. Anhao didn¡¯t turn around to look at them. After she entered, she pressed the number for the fifth floor. Then, she quietly patted the canvas bag on her waist like an innocent student who came to visit. The two middle-aged men glanced at the young lady who suddenly appeared in the elevator, then stood at the back of the elevator and started chatting. ¡°Lian Heng will be done in about ten minutes.¡± ¡°You really attacked? It¡¯s done so quickly?¡± ¡°We have to be quick. We can only cut the Gordian knot now. That Zuo Hancheng is too much of a hindrance.¡± Anhao, who did not take their conversation seriously, immediately perked up her ears and listened attentively when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name. These two people were talking about Lian Heng and Zuo Hancheng. There must be something fishy going on. However, before they could continue, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor and the two men walked out. Anhao looked at the backs of the two people. They were both wearing suits and ties. They were dressed so appropriately and formally. They should be the section chiefs here or someone of higher status. The moment the elevator door was about to close, Anhao immediately flashed out of the elevator. When the two men entered an office not far away at the same time, she saw that there was no one around, so she quietly followed them. The office inside was very big, but there was no one else for the time being. It seemed that there were only the two people who had come over to talk just now. The two middle-aged men saw that there were no outsiders around and continued to talk about Lian Heng. ¡°How exactly do you plan to deal with that Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°How else can we deal with it? A person who has always been blocking our path to wealth should disappear.¡± ¡± He hasn¡¯t approved those contracts yet. He even plans to expose the fact that we cheated the higher-ups of the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Construction Bureau. I really didn¡¯t expect that kid to be not only a shrewd businessman, but also someone who can¡¯t tolerate any sand in his eyes!¡± ¡± This kind of person needs to be punished. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the security around him is so perfect that even the fake express delivery hired by the higher-ups couldn¡¯t fool him, and it¡¯s so difficult to get his fingerprints, it would be even harder to frame Shengling Group!¡± ¡± Sigh, I¡¯ve been in a bad mood these days because of this matter. If this matter is really exposed and the higher-ups find out about it, it won¡¯t be as simple as being suspended for inspection. I¡¯ll probably go to jail as well. However, Zuo Hancheng seems to be unable to open any cracks. I just can¡¯t get any information or opportunities from him. I¡¯m so angry.¡± ¡°So, we can only think of a way to make him disappear, or temporarily disappear. At least, we can make sure that he doesn¡¯t appear at the Lianheng Mall¡¯s construction conference at the end of this month.¡± ¡°How do you plan to make him disappear temporarily?¡± ¡± The foundation of Lianheng Mall was already unstable because of the matter of cutting corners. I only need to move a little bit there, and the mall, which is already one-third built, will collapse in an instant¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you plan to¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for telling you now, because this kind of thing involves too many people. I¡¯m afraid that if I accidentally reveal it, he will escape. Now, if he doesn¡¯t suffer, it¡¯s our turn to suffer!¡± ¡°Is Zuo Hancheng already at the construction site of Lianheng Mall?¡± ¡± Yes, I¡¯ve already gone there. There¡¯s still less than half an hour before the light explosives I planted at the bottom of the building explode. As long as Zuo Hancheng goes inside during the inspection, there¡¯s an 80% chance that he¡¯ll be smashed under the ruins. Moreover, according to the current situation of the building, just the light silenced explosives are enough to cause the building to collapse!¡± ¡°Brother Wang, you¡¯ve always been so brave and resourceful! If everything went smoothly, Zuo Hancheng would be half-dead even if he did not die!¡± ¡°Heh, can I let him continue to block our way to wealth? Although Shengling Group was indeed one of the top companies in the coastal provinces, the current situation in the country was not something he could control easily. They were not the only one in the real estate industry. If we wanted to get some money from other places, would we still be watched by him? Does he really think that he¡¯s the boss of this business and that it¡¯s so easy for him to send us to prison? Heh, I¡¯ll let him see who will have the last laugh!¡± ¡°No wonder you didn¡¯t object strongly like me when he said that he would personally go to Lianheng¡¯s construction site to check on the renovation of the foundation during the meeting two days ago. It turns out that you were waiting for him here.¡± ¡°Hmph, you want me to renovate the foundation that has already been built with the original materials, and you want me to pay for it out of my own pocket? Dream on! I¡¯m already so old, and I¡¯ve eaten more salt than that kid. Why would I be afraid of him?¡± Outside the door, Anhao¡¯s back was already drenched in cold sweat. She suddenly turned around and walked quickly to the bathroom not far away from this floor. No matter what, she had to tell Zuo Hancheng about this before he walked into the construction site! He definitely couldn¡¯t let him fall into the trap of those two bastards! She hurriedly walked into the washroom and took out her phone. She dialed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number, but his phone could not be connected. Could it be that he had already entered the construction site? So there was no signal? Anhao¡¯s heart thumped violently. She tried calling twice but still couldn¡¯t get through. She was so anxious that she quickly called Mobai. As the CEO¡¯s special assistant, Mobai would definitely follow him or drive over as a temporary driver. However, Mobai¡¯s phone was also not connected. Anhao¡¯s head was about to explode. What were these two people doing? His phone couldn¡¯t even be connected! Don¡¯t enter the construction site so quickly! Could he have already gone in? Could it have exploded in advance? Could it be that something had happened to them, so the phone couldn¡¯t be connected? Anhao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She only had Mobai and Lin Qing¡¯s numbers on her phone. Although Lin Qing¡¯s number went through, no one picked up after ringing countless times. He looked at the time. Even if Lin Qing did not go out with Zuo Hancheng, he should be in the secretary¡¯s office with his secretaries in a meeting. He did not bring his phone with him.. Chapter 199 - Chapter 199: Zuo Hancheng Is In Danger (4) Chapter 199: Zuo Hancheng Is In Danger (4) Translator: 549690339 The scene of Zuo Hancheng being smashed under the ruins kept replaying in Anhao¡¯s mind. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She dialed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s and Mobai¡¯s numbers mechanically, but she still could not get through. She gritted her teeth and turned around in a hurry to run out of the bathroom. She took a taxi to stop him, hoping that she could still make it in time. However, just as she was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching the door of the men¡¯s bathroom. She was shocked. She was afraid that someone would find out that she had eavesdropped on such a big secret, so she quickly hid behind the door and did not go out. When she heard the footsteps entering the men¡¯s washroom, and it seemed to be a person, Anhao quietly poked her head out and saw that the mastermind had walked from the office not far away to the elevator, then entered the elevator and left. Anhao immediately dashed to the door of the men¡¯s washroom and heard the sound of flushing the toilet. Then, she heard footsteps coming out from inside, followed by the sound of washing hands. Her heart raced. When the man was washing his hands halfway, Anhao suddenly rushed into the men¡¯s washroom. Before the man could see who it was, she suddenly jumped behind him and grabbed her neck with one hand and his hand with the other. Seeing that he was about to scream, she quickly covered his mouth with the hand that was originally on his neck. Before he could see her clearly and even thought that she was being held hostage, Anhao lowered her voice and asked coldly, ¡®¡±¡®Tell me, when will Zuo Hancheng arrive at the construction site? Where is the building that Lian Heng is currently building?!¡± ¡°Wu wu¡­¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s face had turned purple. When Anhao let go of his mouth, he shouted,¡±¡±Someone¡­Oh¡­¡¯ Before he could really shout, Anhao covered his mouth again. When she thought about how these two bastards wanted to murder Zuo Hancheng, she pushed the fat middle-aged man into the door without any mercy. She pushed him to the door and stuffed his head into the crack of the door. Just as he was about to continue shouting in fear, she kicked his thick calf.¡±Don¡¯t scream! If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll crush you to death with a door! It was a terrifying way to die if one¡¯s head was cut off by a door!¡± The middle-aged man was so frightened that his entire body trembled. However, his voice trembled as he said, ¡°Great aunt, who are you? What exactly do you want¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t play dumb with me. You didn¡¯t hear what I said just now, right? I¡¯m asking you when Zuo Hancheng will arrive at the scene and where Lian Heng¡¯s building is! Speak!¡± ¡°Who exactly are you¡­¡± Anhao kicked him in the back of his knee again. The middle-aged man immediately knelt down through the crack of the door in pain. His head was still stuck in the crack of the door and could not come out. He was in fear and pain and kept screaming in a low voice, ¡°Stop kicking, stop kicking! It hurts¡­¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to break your legs first, don¡¯t waste your time here! Speak! ¡± ¡°No, who are you exactly? I advise you not to interfere in President Zuo¡¯s matters. Be careful not to get into trouble¡­Ah!¡± Anhao suddenly grabbed his arms that were already caught behind his back and forcefully pulled them back. The sound of bones dislocating could be heard. The middle-aged man howled loudly and she kicked his butt.¡±lf you scream again, I¡¯ll stab you to death!¡± She was about to flip through the bag. Hearing the sound of her rummaging through her bag, the middle-aged man was so scared that he almost peed again. He hurriedly begged for mercy,¡±Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t! Hero, spare me! Please spare my life! Don¡¯t kill me! I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you!¡± ¡°Hurry up and tell me!¡± An Hao pulled hard on his dislocated arm. When he was about to cry out in pain again, she pulled off the tie around his neck and tied it to his hands. At the same time, she tied the other end of the tie to the handle of the door so that he could not move. He panted heavily as if he couldn¡¯t speak, but it was obvious that he was deliberately stalling for time. Anhao wanted to kick him downstairs. She endured it and stepped on his calf that was flat because he was kneeling on the ground. When he cried out in pain, she stood up and when his body was almost twisted in pain, she said coldly, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, I can¡¯t guarantee that your calf will not fracture after your arm is dislocated. The sound of a bone fracture should be better than a bone displacement, right? Do you want to try?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t¡­¡± The middle-aged man was indeed in so much pain that he could not speak. He was hung on the door like this, and his head was stuck in the narrow space near the toilet. He said uncomfortably,¡±President Zuo¡­President Zuo had already arrived at the construction site¡­lt¡¯s been at least ten minutes¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s expression instantly became even more solemn. ¡°Lian Heng¡­The location is¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t dare to delay for another minute after getting the exact location. She turned around and rushed out quickly. She ignored the wailing of the middle-aged man who was hanging in the door and couldn¡¯t save himself. Her mind was filled with the conversation between the two people just now. Only one-third of the buildings were built with unstable foundations¡­ The foundation that was built with jerry-built materials¡­ Explosives¡­ Ruins, buried¡­Smashed¡­ As she ran out of the Construction Bureau, she picked up her phone again and kept dialing Zuo Hancheng and Mobai¡¯s numbers. He could not get through! Unable to connect! For the first time in her life, she hated these words so much! ¡®Zuo Hancheng, you didn¡¯t even notice this evil scheme!¡¯ Don¡¯t go in! Anhao ignored the puzzled gazes of the security guards outside the entrance of the Construction Bureau and ran outside to hail a taxi. She reported the location and kept urging the driver to drive faster. ¡°Master, hurry up! It was a matter of life and death! It¡¯s too late!¡± The driver looked at the little girl with a canvas bag in confusion. He couldn¡¯t figure out what could have happened to a student. Moreover, the location she mentioned wasn¡¯t a place where life and death were really separated, like the hospital. However, he still kept speeding up. Although there were many red light intersections along the way, it was fortunate that there was no traffic jam. When Anhao arrived at the construction site of Lianheng Mall, it was exactly half an hour later. In addition to the time she had wasted interrogating the middle-aged man, she did not know if she could make it in time. However, when she got out of the car, she saw that the one-third of the building in the construction site had not collapsed. It was still standing there. However, when she saw that it was only one-third of the building, but it was already six or seven stories high, Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly ran in. ¡°Miss, this is a construction site. You can¡¯t go in¡­¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Anhao did not care about the workers in hard hats blocking her way. She quickly ran in and searched for Mobai, Zuo Hancheng, and the car from Shengling Group.. Chapter 200 - Chapter 200: Explosion (1) Chapter 200: Explosion (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Zuo Hancheng! Where is Zuo Hancheng?¡± When some workers came to stop her, she waved their hands away and turned to glare at them.¡±ls President Zuo from Shengling Group here yet? Did he go in? Where is he now?¡± ¡°Miss, you¡­¡± Seeing that they had come forward to stop her, Anhao turned around and rushed in with a cold expression. She ran to a road near the building and finally saw a familiar MPV. Mobai was also sitting beside the MPV, looking at the building plans and discussing something with the workers beside him. Mobai and the carriage were there, but Zuo Hancheng was nowhere to be seen. Anhao quickly ran over. The workers behind her were still chasing after her.¡±Miss, you can¡¯t enter this place casually. Don¡¯t run. Miss, stop right there¡­¡± Mobai raised his head when he heard the commotion and saw Anhao running over hurriedly. She was sweating profusely in such cold weather. He looked at her in confusion and signaled the workers not to stop her. ¡°Mobai! Assistant MO!¡± Anhao ran over and asked before she could catch her breath,¡±¡±Where is Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°President Zuo?¡± Mobai looked at her strangely.¡±¡±President Zuo is¡­¡± He thought for a moment and pointed in the direction of the building that was being built in Lianheng Mall. Before she could finish, Anhao suddenly turned around and ran in that direction. Mobai was stunned. Seeing that she was about to enter the building, he immediately became anxious.¡±Miss Gu, don¡¯t go in. Come back!¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng can¡¯t be inside. There are explosives buried inside! It was about to explode! Hurry up and call the police or firefighters! I¡¯ll go find him!¡± Anhao rushed to the building without looking back. Mobai looked at the figure in shock and immediately became anxious. He wanted to chase after her, but the worker behind him said in shock, ¡°What explosives? Is this place going to explode?¡± Hearing the commotion behind him, MO Bai frowned.¡±Don¡¯t lie. Go and get someone to drive the car over there. I¡¯ll go and bring her out.¡± The driver stuck his head out and said,¡± Didn¡¯t President Zuo sense something was wrong just now and went to the observation deck opposite?¡± What is Miss Gu doing inside?¡± Mobai¡¯s expression was even worse. This little devil ran in without waiting for him to finish his sentence. He didn¡¯t care if there were really explosives. If anything happened to Gu Anhao, President Zuo would blow him up first! ¡°Miss Gil!¡± ¡°Assistant MO, those workers have already run away. Let¡¯s go!¡± Mobai was about to chase after Anhao, but he was forcefully pulled away by the driver and the assistant foreman who got out of the car.¡±¡±lf there¡¯s really explosives, we can¡¯t care about others. Let¡¯s go! Hurry!¡± Mobai was about to wave them away when he turned around and saw that Gu Anhao was already running inside. He frowned even more. ¡°What happened?¡± Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from behind. Mobai turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng, who had already returned from the observation deck opposite the building. He was obviously puzzled by the workers who had run out when he returned. ¡± Miss Gu suddenly ran over and said that there were explosives buried under the building. She thought that you were inside, so she ran in without thinking and said that she wanted to save you¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression froze. He suddenly turned to look in the direction of the building not far away. Thinking that she must have gone to the Construction Bureau just now, he immediately said with a serious expression, ¡°Call the police!¡± Mobai¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. Initially, he thought that Gu Anhao¡¯s sudden appearance and words were not very realistic. However, when he saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression, he instantly understood the seriousness and danger of this matter. He quickly called for a car to drive away and took out his phone to call the police. Zuo Hancheng looked in the direction of the building and walked straight over. Mobai realized that there was no signal on his phone. He finally made a call and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions. He quickly said, ¡°President Zuo!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. Call the police!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold. He took out his phone and glanced at it. There was no signal. Anhao had already run into the building, but her heart was beating violently. She did not know where Zuo Hancheng was, and where the explosives were buried. She did not know if she would die if she rushed in so rashly. But the moment she ran in, she instinctively looked up.¡±Zuo Hancheng! Zuo Hancheng! Are you there?¡± In the empty building filled with the smell of lime, there was only her own echo. The fear grew stronger and stronger. After calling out a few times, there was no response. She then suspected that he had already left. She turned around and walked out. Suddenly, she heard a loud explosion. She was so frightened that she screamed and squatted on the ground with her hands on her head. The moment the explosion occurred, Zuo Hancheng had already approached the building. From afar, he saw Anhao screaming and squatting down with her hands on her head. He frowned and walked over quickly. Anhao hugged her head and kept screaming in fear. She seemed to hear someone calling her. It had already exploded! It had already exploded! Would she be crushed to death like an earthquake? ¡°Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. When the building in front of him began to crack and shake, he pulled her up from the ground. He did not waste any time talking nonsense. When she stood up and looked up at him with fear and confusion, he pulled her and rushed out with a heavy expression. However, the building behind them was still in a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a point, a The shattered boulders behind her rolled to her feet, and the building behind her collapsed in the dust. At the moment of collapse, Zuo Hancheng suddenly hugged her and took a big step forward. The two of them fell heavily to the ground. Anhao was lying on the ground and did not dare to move. She felt the pain of her body rubbing against the ground. She felt broken stones falling beside them. It seemed that something heavy had hit her, but Zuo Hancheng protected her under his body. That heavy thing seemed to have hit his back. Anhao thought that she was dead for sure. She began to regret running to such a dangerous place to die for Zuo Hancheng. Their bodies were getting stiffer and stiffer, and their limbs were getting colder and colder. It seemed like they were really pressed down by something like a stone slab. Anhao froze under him. After a long time, she felt that the surroundings had quieted down. She then tried to move her body. When she moved, the man on top of her also moved behind her, but it seemed to be a little difficult.. Chapter 201 - Chapter 201: Explosion (2) Chapter 201: Explosion (2) Translator: 549690339 However, it did not take long for Zuo Cheng to flip over from her body to the other side and fall sideways on the ground beside her. When Anhao slowly raised her red and swollen eyes to look at him, he smiled at her as if he was comforting her and said in a very soft and low voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be afraid¡­¡¯ Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, Anhao¡¯s heart instantly calmed down a lot. However, she still looked at the rocks of different sizes around the two of them with some fear. She could vaguely see the sky outside through the rocks. However, the rocks were piled up about one meter high and were piled firmly on the two of them. It was not something that a mortal body could do to push the rocks off their bodies. Anhao sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, snipped, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, snipped, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed, sniffed ¡°We¡­ Could it be¡­Die¡­¡± Her voice was soft and filled with fear and confusion. Her eyes looked through the dust under the stone and saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder was bleeding. She was trying to calm down, but she panicked and looked at him in shock. ¡°Your, your injuries¡­¡± Anhao was so scared that she almost couldn¡¯t utter a complete sentence. Her hand trembled as she pointed at his shoulder. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder was obviously injured when he was protecting her. His face was pale, but when Anhao saw the injury on his shoulder and was shocked speechless, he slowly frowned and moved his hand to her hand. He gently held her hand in his palm. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s a small injury. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡¯ His voice was calm, as if he was really just a small injury, but he was still strong, and in the dust, he was still safe. He saw his shoulder, constantly bleeding red blood, and the blood flowed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the narrow ground under him was already dyed red. Her nose suddenly turned sour. She clasped her fingers with his and held his hand tightly.¡±l thought you were inside. I overheard a man surnamed Wang and another man secretly discussing something that could harm you in the Construction Bureau, but I couldn¡¯t get through to you and Mobai on the phone, so, so I ran over. Just now, I thought you really came in, so I ran in. I didn¡¯t expect you to be outside. Wu¡­¡± Anhao, who seemed to have calmed down, started crying like a child as she spoke. She cried in self-reproach,¡±¡±Did I implicate you? Will I kill you¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng smiled and held her hand tightly.¡±¡±l won¡¯t.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s a lot of blood on your shoulder. Will we die if we¡¯re buried here¡­ Would he die¡­Zuo Hancheng, I don¡¯t want to kill you¡­l won¡¯t be so reckless in the future, but I just couldn¡¯t listen to others. I was just afraid that you were here. I was afraid that you would be buried in the ruins, but I didn¡¯t expect to be buried with you. I didn¡¯t want to be afraid, but I¡¯m so afraid now. What should I Anhao¡¯s tears fell in large drops. Zuo Hancheng was originally enduring the pain, but when he saw her crying incoherently, he laughed and coughed. He frowned because of the dust around him and gently pulled their hands together. ¡°Not to that extent. This place is at least a few meters away from the main building. We were hit by a few stone slabs that fell from above. As long as the rescue team arrives, we can leave very quickly.¡± Although she said that, Anhao still blamed herself. She clearly remembered that Zuo Hancheng had walked in from the outside to look for her. He must have heard what Mobai said when he came in. He knew that the building might explode, but he still came in to look for her. Anhao buried her face in the crook of her other arm and said with red eyes,¡±¡±l heard that when a person is buried under a building, there is only a 70% to 80% chance of being rescued. With such a large slab above our heads, will there be a situation where one side can¡¯t be lifted up and the other side has to be sacrificed? Just like in the TV series, the rescue team said that only one person could be saved if there were two people. What should they do? Wu¡­¡± As she spoke, the girl became anxious again. This was the first time he had seen her so helpless and flustered, crying non-stop to hide her fear. Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed.¡± Silly girl, don¡¯t tease me. Let me save some energy and hold on until the rescue team comes, hmm? Anhao pursed her lips and looked at him. She knew that he was seriously injured, which was why he said that. However, she was really afraid that those melodramatic scenes would happen. If that really happened, she sniffed and looked at him. ¡°I¡¯m just saying hypothetically. If this really happens, then smash me to death..Anyway, it¡¯s my fault¡­ You were so reckless just now¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng closed his eyes, as if he really did not have the strength to joke with her anymore. He gently squeezed her hand and said softly,¡±¡±No, this isn¡¯t the scene of an earthquake. It¡¯s not as terrifying and hopeless as you said.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t close your eyes!¡± Anhao looked at him with red eyes. Don¡¯t scare me!¡± He could only open his eyes and look helplessly at the girl who was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.¡±l¡¯m saving my strength.¡± ¡°Even so, you can¡¯t close your eyes!¡± Anhao held onto him tightly.¡± I¡¯ll pinch your hand hard. You won¡¯t fall asleep if you keep hurting. Zuo Hancheng, you have to hold on. Don¡¯t scare me.¡± Zuo Hancheng seemed to be really impressed by her. While she was holding his hand, he looked up at the stones on their bodies and said in a low voice,¡±¡±What else did you hear from the Construction Bureau?¡± Anhao sniffed and recalled what she had heard in the Construction Bureau. ¡®¡±¡® I forgot. All I can remember is that they said that you were the one who blocked their way to make money. They also said that you found out about the jerry-building. They are people from the government. They are afraid that this kind of thing will affect their future. One of them said that he found a related friend to put light explosives down here¡­¡± Anhao frowned as she spoke.¡± I didn¡¯t expect such a terrifying thing to happen in real life. Explosives? Where did they buy them?¡± They said that if they couldn¡¯t kill you, it would be enough to seriously injure you down here. That way, you wouldn¡¯t have to appear at any time¡­l forgot what they said in more detail¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng did not say anything for a while after he heard that. He only looked at the huge rocks on the two of them. Anhao could vaguely hear the noise of police cars and fire engines in the distance. She did not know if Mobai and the rest had already called for the rescue team, but she did not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice for a long time. She was so frightened that she tugged at his hand.¡±Zuo Hancheng, what are you doing? Say something! Don¡¯t be so quiet! I¡¯m scared!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao, who had admitted to being scared in front of him time and time again, and his lips curled up slightly.. Chapter 202 - Chapter 202: Explosion (3) Chapter 202: Explosion (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao, who had admitted to being scared in front of him time and time again, and his lips curled up slightly. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, say something. Listen, there¡¯s a sound. There seems to be the sound of a rescue vehicle outside. I can also hear the footsteps of many people running in this direction. Listen quickly¡­ Anhao anxiously turned her head to look at him, but from her angle, she could only see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bleeding shoulder and head. She could not see her eyes clearly. It was only when Zuo Hancheng slowly turned around and looked at her that she saw the comforting smile in his eyes. Seeing that he was still paying attention to her, Anhao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I heard it.¡± He said softly while still looking at the stone slabs on the two of them. He said in a deep voice, ¡°The light bombs on the market are basically bought from the black market. It¡¯s hard to say if they¡¯re useful. Only the military has explosives that can cause great damage. Obviously, the people from the Construction Bureau don¡¯t have many people in the military. However, judging from the power of the explosives just now, they should have obtained them from the black market in the country. It was obvious that this matter was a last-minute idea and was done in a hurry.¡± Hearing that he could still calmly analyze the explosives and the Construction Bureau at this time, Anhao was speechless and could only hold his hand tightly. ¡°We should be thankful that the power of the explosives was not strong enough. At that time, it only caused the ground to fluctuate, and the building gradually collapsed because of the unstable foundation. However, the collapse was only caused by the cracks in the walls and the separation of the foundation, which gave us a few seconds to escape. Otherwise, even if we were not killed by the explosion, we would indeed be buried under the original building. It would be difficult to rescue us in a short time.¡± Hearing these words, Anhao roughly understood. In other words, if the rescue team came in time, they would be able to save them very quickly. Although they were buried here, it was much better than being buried inside. Even though Zuo Hancheng did not give her any superficial comfort or coax her to stop crying, his calm and rational analysis successfully calmed Anhao down and she was no longer as flustered as before. But¡­ She looked at his shoulder.¡± But just now, a stone slab fell from an unknown height and hit your back. Are you injured anywhere else besides your shoulder?¡± Why is there so much blood¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Instead, he held her hand in his and gently caressed her small hand that was cold from fear.¡±lt¡¯s just a superficial wound. If you¡¯re fainting from blood, close your eyes and wait for the rescue team to come.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not scared of blood, but I might only be scared of your blood.¡±Anhao was still choking incoherently as she said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, please don¡¯t let anything happen to you¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. It¡¯ll be fine.¡± A very, very soft voice, a very calm ¡± mm ¡°, but it gave Anhao a great sense of relief. At this moment, a few unfamiliar voices came from outside, and Mobai¡¯s shouts were mixed in. ¡°President Zuo! Miss Gu!¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, Miss Gu, are you down here?¡± It was the rescue team! Anhao quickly raised her head and shouted, ¡°Here!¡± We¡¯re here!¡± Immediately, the approaching footsteps began to run in this direction in an orderly manner. At the same time, they heard the sound of some hook cars and rescue tools being moved. Anhao¡¯s heart relaxed a lot. When she turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng did not make a sound, she quickly pulled him back.¡±As expected, it¡¯s very easy for them to find us here. It¡¯s not the worst outcome. You have to hold on. We¡¯ll go to the hospital in a while!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond. Anhao heard that the hook car outside had already begun to move the stone slabs and stone fragments that were on the two of them away. Anhao¡¯s heart was instantly attracted by the sound outside. She held Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand that was getting colder and colder as she looked up through the gap. She closed her eyes and held Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. She buried her face in her arms and whispered,¡±¡±Hey, the two of us can be considered to have lived and died together¡­¡± There was no response. Anhao was a little flustered because the rescue team couldn¡¯t open their eyes in the heavy sand. She could only hold his hand and repeat,¡±¡±You promised me that nothing would happen¡­¡± There was still no response. Anhao sniffed and sniffed as she held back her tears. She heard Mobai and the rescue team members communicating outside. She seemed to have heard something about the rescue team going smoothly. She wouldn¡¯t have anything to fall down and cause two damage to the two people below, so Mobai could rest assured. However, because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s silence, Anhao was still worried even though she heard the conversation outside. She didn¡¯t know how long it had been, but she felt as if she had been unable to raise her head in a huge sandstorm. It was only when the two huge slabs of reinforced concrete that were stacked together were moved away that she could finally hear the sound of cars and footsteps. The hook car next to him finally moved away the stone slab with a sharp corner on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body. Mobai and the rescue team leader immediately ran over.¡±¡±President Zuo! Miss Gil!¡± ¡°Mister Zuo!¡± Hearing the voice, Anhao slowly lifted her head from her arms, and the figures of Mobai and the rescue team leader appeared in her field of vision. She ignored the stiffness and soreness in her body and quickly sat up. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng lying in a pool of blood, motionless. She quickly turned around and reached out to touch him, but the rescue team leader suddenly came over and pulled her up.¡±Miss Gu, Mr. Zuo is injured. The ambulance is right beside you. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°President Zuo!¡± Seeing how well she was, what was the big deal, MO Bai¡¯s gaze moved away from her body, turned around and hurried forward to see the wounds on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body. The people in the ambulance rushed over very quickly. When Anhao saw those people helping Zuo Hancheng up from the ground, everyone gasped in shock. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes were almost soaked in blood, but the biggest injury was on his shoulder. The rest were just some bruises like Anhao. They sent Zuo Hancheng into the ambulance, but Anhao¡¯s eyes were red as she looked in the direction of the ambulance. She suddenly shook off the people behind her and turned around to run toward the ambulance. The person in the car was about to close the door and rush to the hospital when he saw Anhao run in and got into the car. He recognized her as one of the people who had just been rescued downstairs and took her away with him. Anhao sat in the car all the way and saw the nurses and doctors in the car examining Zuo Hancheng¡¯s injuries in an orderly manner. They also kept comforting her, who was almost scared out of her wits. When a nurse came over to treat the bruises on Anhao¡¯s face and hands, Anhao gently pushed her away and pointed at the unconscious Zuo Hancheng with red eyes.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m fine. You guys save him.. Quickly save him¡­¡± Chapter 203 - Chapter 203: Explosion (4) Chapter 203: Explosion (4) Translator: 549690339 The nurse was still wondering about the identity of the girl who was killed together with the famous president of Shengling Group. However, when she saw that she insisted that everyone take care of Mr. Zuo, who was still unconscious, she did not think too much about it. She knew that she was very afraid now, so the nurse kindly handed her a disinfectant towel. ¡°Then, Miss Gu, wipe your face first. When you arrive at the hospital later, let the doctors from other departments help you deal with these bruises and bleeding places.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m fine.¡± Anhao tried her best to calm herself down, but she still sniffed and raised her hand to wipe her nose. Her eyes were fixed on Zuo Hancheng, who was covered in blood, and she asked carefully,¡±¡±ls his injury serious? Would he die? He would definitely be fine, right? It¡¯s just a cut and bleeding, it¡¯s not that serious, right?¡± The nurse looked back at Mr. Zuo, who was surrounded by a few doctors and nurses in the middle of the ambulance. After a moment of silence, she replied softly, ¡°We don¡¯t know if Mr. Zuo¡¯s condition is serious for the time being, but looking at his body covered in blood¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard the nurse¡¯s words.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± The nurse saw the worry in her eyes and smiled faintly to comfort her.¡±Let¡¯s send him to the emergency room first. Miss Gu, don¡¯t worry too much. Your condition is already very good. Fortunately, you¡¯re not directly below the collapsed building. However, the impact of the stone slab falling from above was very strong. We don¡¯t know the extent of Mr. Zuo¡¯s other bone and nerve injuries.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart was in her throat again. Earlier, Zuo Hancheng had been talking to her downstairs. There were a few times when he could not hold on any longer due to excessive blood loss, but he still forced himself to open his eyes to comfort her. Perhaps she should have let him conserve more energy at that time. She clearly wanted to save him, but why did she end up dragging him down? Anhao pursed her lips and did not speak. She sat quietly in the corner. While the medical staff were busy, her eyes were fixed on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pale side profile. Before the car reached the hospital, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone kept ringing. The medical staff next to him passed the phone to Anhao. Anhao looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment and did not answer it. She looked up at Zuo Hancheng again and then reached for her canvas bag. Oh no, in order to rush to the construction site to prevent Zuo Hancheng from being in danger, she had forgotten to hand over the two rejection documents signed by Zuo Hancheng to the manager on the fifth floor. Would it delay anything? Anhao lowered her head and glanced at her phone. The ringtone had stopped, so she decided to call Mobai. ¡°Hello? President Zuo?¡± The moment the call connected, Mobai¡¯s anxious voice sounded.¡±¡±How are you¡­¡± ¡°Mobai, it¡¯s me.¡± Anhao tried her best to keep her voice calm and said softly,¡±¡±Previously, Zuo Hancheng asked me to send two documents to the Construction Bureau, but I left the Construction Bureau in a hurry. Do you want me to give you these two documents when you get to the hospital?¡± Mobai paused for a moment before saying softly,¡±¡±Miss Gu, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Anhao sniffed.¡± I just hope that nothing will happen to your boss. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be the sinner of history. This girl could still joke at a time like this. Mobai sighed lightly.¡± It¡¯s good that you¡¯re alright. I¡¯ve already called the hospital and informed them that the best doctor from the province will be here for emergency treatment.¡± ¡± As for the documents you mentioned, the building has collapsed. Even if the documents haven¡¯t been delivered, the Construction Bureau should already know about the situation. So, it doesn¡¯t matter if the documents are handed over to them or not. You don¡¯t have to take this matter to heart. I¡¯ll take care of what needs to be taken care of. You can rest assured and recuperate in the hospital. Later, I¡¯ll transfer a few people from the company to help.¡± Anhao held the phone and wanted to apologize. She had rushed in before he could finish speaking, which was why this had happened. However, before she could say it, Mobai seemed to hear the pause in her tone. Although he was dealing with the situation at the construction site, he still patiently comforted her,¡±¡±Since President Zuo didn¡¯t blame you, you don¡¯t have to apologize to anyone. You were being kind today. Don¡¯t blame yourself too much.¡± Anhao¡¯s tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She choked out a ¡± hmm ¡± and slowly put down the phone. She looked up at Zuo Hancheng with tears in her eyes and saw that the doctor had already unbuttoned his shirt. The injury on his shoulder was much more serious than she had imagined. It was more than just a bloody mess! The stone slab that fell from the sky at that time might have fallen from the highest point of the building. It was already fortunate that it did not hit the head. However, when she saw the wound on his shoulder, Anhao raised her hand to cover her mouth and did not speak for a long time. She held back her tears and did not want to cause trouble for the people in the ambulance. She only secretly bit her lips. Even though her lips were already bitten and blood filled her mouth, she still did not let go. The ambulance stopped in front of the nearest hospital. Anhao hurriedly followed the medical staff out of the ambulance. The nurse who came out of the hospital saw the blood and dust on her body and knew that she was one of the victims. She was about to reach out to help her, but Anhao refused everyone¡¯s help and hurriedly ran after the hospital bed that Zuo Hancheng was sitting on. ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t worry about me!¡± Hurry up and save him! I beg you!¡± Seeing that she could still run, the people gathered in front of the hospital no longer paid attention to her. They all surrounded her because they knew that the person who was sent in was President Zuo of Shengling Group. Many people came to help Anhao, who was almost pushed away by the crowd, and quickly followed. She finally caught up with him again. Just as she was about to reach out to grab the armrest at the end of the bed that was moving rapidly inward, she suddenly heard the sound of high-heeled shoes rushing over from behind. Then, a hand reached out and pulled her hand away. Anhao froze. She suddenly looked at Rongxue who had suddenly appeared beside her. Looking at the cold and domineering woman, Anhao was lost for a moment and did not react. By the time she came back to her senses, Zuo Hancheng had already been pushed in. She quickly turned around and was about to run in. ¡°Do you want to kill Hancheng?¡± Rong Xue asked coldly.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned to look at her.¡±¡±Miss Rong, I don¡¯t care how you heard the news or how you found this place, but now doesn¡¯t seem to be the time to argue.¡± Anhao was about to run in when Rong Xue grabbed her wrist. ¡®¡±¡®1 just arrived in A City today, and I heard that buildings collapsed and Han City was buried! I called Mobai and asked him about it.. Although he didn¡¯t explain the situation, I can guess that you must have something to do with someone as cautious as Hancheng getting into trouble in that place!¡± Chapter 204 - Chapter 204: Explosion (5) Chapter 204: Explosion (5) Translator: 549690339 Rong Xue held Anhao¡¯s wrist tightly. When Anhao turned to look at her angrily, Rong Xue¡¯s beautiful eyes stared at her coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve already said before that a young girl like you is not suitable for him at all! Don¡¯t look at me with that innocent and naive look. I¡¯m not him. I won¡¯t be soft-hearted because of a look from you. Do you think you can get a man like Zuo Hancheng just because you¡¯re young? You must be dreaming!¡± Rong Xue shook off Anhao¡¯s hand and turned around to walk inside. Anhao stood rooted to the ground and was stunned for a moment. She suddenly raised her head and looked into the room. She quickly lifted her legs and ran into the room. When she passed by Rong Xue, she did not even look at her. She quickly caught up to the medical staff and reached out to hold the bed rail. She wanted to personally send Zuo Hancheng into the emergency room with the medical staff. However, Rong Xue had already walked over quickly and yanked Anhao¡¯s hand off the bed rail.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, don¡¯t you understand Chinese?¡± Anhao staggered when she was pushed away and took a step back. She was instantly furious. ¡°Don¡¯t take my politeness for tolerance, Miss Rong. This is A City, not America. Please pay attention to your image!¡± ¡°Please-shut-up-and-get-out!¡±Rong Xue looked at her expressionlessly and raised her voice. Anhao paused and sneered.¡± Rong Xue smiled.¡± Miss Gu, I¡¯m just being polite with you. Do you want me to ask you to get lost in front of so many people? Anhao really wasn¡¯t in the mood to bicker with her, but she still wanted to scold her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Rong. The word ¡®get lost¡¯ is too noble. Please maintain your noble and elegant image and get lost from here. My husband has already been sent to the emergency room.¡± Anhao suddenly shook off her hand that had been holding onto her wrist the whole time. Feeling that her wrist had been scratched by her nails, she immediately raised her wrist to take a look. ¡°I didn¡¯t plan to let the doctor take a look at me, but now I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to get a shot.¡± Rong Xue chuckled. When Anhao turned to look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction, Rong Xue slowly approached her and said softly, ¡±¡¯Don¡¯t call me hubby too early. As a public figure, I have many secrets that others don¡¯t know¡­For example¡­¡± Her voice was soft as she whispered into Anhao¡¯s ear,¡±¡± Long before I broke up with Han Cheng, I was already pregnant with his child¡­¡± Anhao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned ashen and she stood rooted to the ground. Rong Xue slowly stepped back and looked into Anhao¡¯s dazed eyes.¡±¡±Little girl, I advise you not to be too naive. Since I can still insist on coming back to take him back to my side even though I know that Hancheng is married, I naturally have my chips.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and just looked at her calmly. She was actually considering the authenticity of her words. She would not easily believe the words that Zuo Hancheng had said, even if the woman in front of her was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ex-girlfriend in America. But he had said that there were no lies in their marriage. ¡°Hancheng and I are ten years older than you. Don¡¯t think that you can seduce men just because you¡¯re young. ¡°Rong Xue slowly smiled. ¡°A thirty-year-old woman knows better than you how to capture a man¡¯s heart. Our experience is different from the short-sighted world in front of a high school student like you. Don¡¯t think that you can catch up with his pace in ten years. Do you know how great a business empire he can build in these ten years? Do you know that I can make tens of billions of dollars in the box office in ten years?¡± ¡°And you, what can you do in ten years? Even if you can achieve anything in ten years, you won¡¯t be able to catch up with us in the next ten years. So, why force yourself to cross this gap?¡± ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s also¡­¡± ¡® I¡¯ve already investigated you before I came to City A,¡± Rong Xue said softly.¡± Are you the daughter of Mayor Gu Tianming?¡± It just so happens that my father who is far away in the United States knows the Gu family. Do you need me to tell the world that you have no self-respect outside and want to hook up with someone like Hancheng? Gu Tianming is the person who cares about his face the most. The public opinion is enough for him to bring you back and skin you alive, right?¡± Anhao had never thought that this indescribably beautiful woman standing in front of her would be so vicious. She didn¡¯t hide anything from her threats at all. She fought over her in a naked manner. It was as if she wasn¡¯t playing any tricks on her. Her words were so straightforward. Seeing that Anhao did not say anything, Rong Xue chuckled.¡±¡±Little girl, you are still too inexperienced. If I wanted to touch you, it would be very easy. However, I don¡¯t want to bully an ignorant teenager. In the end, I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I don¡¯t want to go too far. It would be best if you knew the difficulty and retreated.¡± ¡°Miss Rong, no matter what you want to say, please wait until Zuo Hancheng wakes up. You can say these words in front of him.¡±Anhao¡¯s expression was calm as she looked at Rong Xue¡¯s eyes, which seemed to be filled with hatred as if she wanted to disappear from her sight. Rong Xue¡¯s calm and cold expression cracked slightly as she looked at Gu Anhao coldly. He did not expect this little girl to be able to recover her composure so quickly in the face of his harsh words. ¡°Hancheng has been sent to the emergency room. It¡¯s useless for you to chase after him. Can you talk to the attending doctor in this hospital? Would the medical experts in the province or even higher pay attention to you? Therefore, if you followed them, you would only stand there like a log in a daze. It would make others feel that it was unnecessary and even more troublesome. Since you couldn¡¯t help, don¡¯t add to the trouble. Otherwise, crying outside would annoy the doctor.¡± After that, Rong Xue turned around and walked in with a cold smile. At the same time, she called out to a doctor who was passing by and said,¡±¡±Please call your principal. Tell him that I¡¯m Rong Yao¡¯s daughter, Rong Xue. He¡¯ll recognize me.¡± ¡°Miss Rong, please wait a moment.¡± Anhao wanted to chase after Rong Xue as she watched her haughty back walk towards the emergency room. She was not convinced at first, but Rong Xue¡¯s words were right and hit her Achilles heel. Indeed, it was useless for him to stand here. He could not find anyone and could not help. She stood where she was and looked at the doctors and patients around her. The twists and turns in her life for the past 19 years had never made her feel lost and helpless. But now, when she looked back at the heavy snow outside the hospital and the people coming in and out, she felt lost for the first time. Although Rong Xue¡¯s words were unpleasant to hear, she spoke frankly. The difference of ten years was not scary. What was scary was whether he could catch up with Zuo Hancheng, who was so high and mighty. This was a height that Anhao had deliberately overlooked, but it was completely revealed by Rong Xue today.. Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Mr. Zuo, You Can’t Do This (1) Chapter 205: Mr. Zuo, You Can¡¯t Do This (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had been standing in the lobby of the hospital for a long time. She was holding her phone in her hand. On the screen was the foreign search engine that she had just clicked on. She had searched for Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue¡¯s names. The screen showed a scene from many years ago in Los Angeles. There were so many helicopters, so many colorful balloons and carrier pigeons, and the colorful smoke that floated out of the helicopters. It was beautiful and dazzling. Not only that¡­ Many of the stories about Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue on foreign search engines were mostly speculations, but there was no lack of truth. They used to love each other very much. Rong Xue was once Zuo Hancheng¡¯s most beloved woman. No, maybe not in the past. Maybe it will always be a long time. Just as Yi Zeyang had said, the woman Zuo Hancheng loved the most was Rong Xue. She knew that she shouldn¡¯t be looking at these things, but Anhao¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but keep scrolling through the webpage on her phone. It was also thanks to the high school English that she had been cramming up recently that she could understand at least 70% of the foreign media announcements. Finally, she slowly put down her phone. She had been standing there for a long time, and the confusion in her eyes became more and more intense. Mobai and a few staff members from Shengling Group finally arrived at the hospital. Many of their friends who were doctors from the province, including Wenner, who had heard the news from somewhere, also rushed over. The moment they walked into the hospital, they saw Ann standing in the lobby of the first floor of the hospital like a wooden statue. She was in a mess, covered in dust and some blood. No one knew what she was thinking. Mobai was stunned for a moment. He turned to them and said,¡±¡±You guys go in first. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Anhao. Wenner also noticed that Anhao¡¯s condition was a little off. He also noticed that the girl was injured, but no one was paying attention to her. He frowned and followed her. ¡°Anhao?¡± Wenner said as he approached. ¡°Miss Gu.¡± Mobai also walked over, but seeing Anhao¡¯s blank expression, he thought she was still blaming herself, so he said,¡±¡±Miss Gu, the construction site has been checked. Although you were the one who barged in first, it was because you came to inform us in advance that the construction site was about to explode that dozens of workers around the construction site were able to escape unscathed. Although we don¡¯t know how President Zuo¡¯s current injury will be, your purpose in coming here is not wrong. Saving anyone is the same. Don¡¯t blame yourself.¡± ¡°She¡¯s not blaming herself.¡± Wenner was at the side, staring at Anhao¡¯s face. He walked up to her and said softly,¡±¡±Anhao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± As her psychiatrist, Wenner and Anhao were already close friends who had communicated spiritually. It was easy for him to tell that her emotions were not normal. Anhao slowly raised her eyes, as if she had just seen Mobai and Wenner in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, but when she saw their worried eyes, she smiled.¡±l¡¯m fine.¡± As she spoke, she lowered her head and put her phone into the dusty canvas bag at her waist.¡±There are too many people in the hospital. It¡¯s a little hot and I can¡¯t breathe.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she no longer looked at anyone and walked straight out of the hospital. Mobai and Wenner looked at each other in confusion. Wenner looked at Anhao¡¯s back as if he wanted to see through what this little girl was thinking. However, his ability to read people¡¯s minds seemed to have failed on her today. He could clearly see that Anhao was forcing a smile, but he didn¡¯t know why she was like this. What was the cause? As he was thinking, Mobai turned around and looked at Rong Xue¡¯s back. He immediately frowned.¡±Why is she here?¡± Wenner looked back. The moment he saw her, he immediately turned back to look at Anhao¡¯s back. ¡°Not long after the incident, Rongxue suddenly called and said that she had just arrived in A City when she heard such shocking news. I only briefly explained the situation at that time and hung up the phone.¡± ¡± A woman of Rongxue¡¯s status is not someone Anhao can easily defeat. Besides, Anhao was just shocked and is still blaming herself. It¡¯s very easy for her to be hurt by some indirect words. You go in first, I¡¯ll go take a look at her¡­¡± However, before Wenner could finish his sentence, Anhao, who had already walked to the entrance of the hospital, suddenly swayed when she was blown by the cold wind. For some reason, she could not stand steadily, and she felt an inexplicable pain in a corner of her heart. It was so painful that she could not breathe. It was as if all the pain she felt when she was hit had finally invaded her at this moment. Her vision turned black, and she bit her lips to keep herself awake. However, she still staggered when she walked down the stairs. Suddenly, she fell forward and rolled down the marble stairs in front of the hospital. ¡°Anhao!¡± ¡°Anhao¡­¡¯ Wenner Mobai saw this scene with his own eyes. The two of them immediately rushed over and caught Anhao after she had only rolled two or three rounds on the stairs. Fortunately, there was some snow on the stairs, so the edges were not that sharp. However, her eyes were tightly closed, and she fell into their arms without realizing it. ¡°Anhao! Good! Wake up!¡± ¡°Doctor! Call the doctor!¡± Wenner suddenly picked up the weak and cold Anhao. Seeing that she had fallen into a deep coma for some reason, he carried her and quickly entered the hospital. Anhao frowned and opened her eyes with some difficulty. She first saw the ceiling of the hospital, then looked at the two IV tubes hanging by her bed, and her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant. She slowly turned her head and saw that she was lying in a quiet ward with a good environment. She slowly raised her hand and saw that the areas where she had been bruised had been applied with medicine. The serious areas were also wrapped with a few layers of medical gauze. There seemed to be a piece of gauze on her forehead. What happened? She clearly didn¡¯t hit her head¡­ Then, he recalled that he had fallen on the stairs before he fainted, and his forehead had hit the stairs twice. When people were unlucky, they would get stuck in their teeth even if they drank cold water! She forced herself to sit up and struggled to sit up. She saw that she was on an IV drip and could not move around. There was no one else in the ward except for the faint sound of nurses walking back and forth outside. How long had she been asleep? What about Zuo Hancheng? Has he come out of the emergency room yet? Are you out of danger¡­ Anhao licked her slightly dry lips and looked back at the needle in her hand. She immediately raised her other hand to pull the needle out. Ignoring the blood that flowed out of the back of her hand, she turned around and was about to lift the blanket and get out of bed. [The sixth watch is over. It¡¯s the fifth watch tomorrow. Don¡¯t be anxious, wait for Zuo Dada to personally torture the mistress tomorrow.. Zuo Dada won¡¯t let you down Chapter 206 - Chapter 206: Mr. Zuo, You Can’t Do This (2) Chapter 206: Mr. Zuo, You Can¡¯t Do This (2) Translator: 549690339 Just as she reached the door of the ward, the door in front of her was suddenly opened from the inside. Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked up to see Wenner¡¯s figure outside the door. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Seeing that she seemed to want to leave the ward, Wenner instantly glanced at the back of her hand and frowned. ¡°Why did you pull the needle out?¡± ¡°How is Zuo Hancheng? Has he come out of the emergency room yet?¡± Anhao stared at Wenner¡¯s blue eyes.¡±¡±He¡¯s all right, isn¡¯t he?¡± Seeing her nervous and worried look, Wenner sighed and laughed.¡±Although Mr. Zuo¡¯s injuries are much more serious than yours, at least he¡¯s out of danger now. It¡¯s just that he lost too much blood and his injuries are more serious, so he hasn¡¯t woken up yet. But the doctor has already guaranteed that there won¡¯t be any other problems, so don¡¯t worry.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart finally found a place to rest. Her entire body suddenly softened and she leaned back against the door frame. After letting out a long sigh of relief, she lowered her head and looked at her hospital gown. She couldn¡¯t help but be absent-minded for a moment before she muttered, ¡°Can I go see him now?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± ¡± Although Mr. Zuo is out of danger,¡± Wenner said directly,¡± he¡¯s still in the ICU for observation because he hasn¡¯t woken up. No one is allowed to enter the ward.¡± Moreover¡­¡± He paused for a moment before saying,¡± You¡¯ve been unconscious for a day and a night. Rong Xue has been guarding outside the ICU for the entire day and night. She hasn¡¯t left even now. Even if you go, you won¡¯t be able to enter the ward to see Mr. Zuo up close. You¡¯ll also be unhappy if you meet Miss Rong. So, Anhao, you should rest in the ward first. I¡¯ll tell you when President Zuo wakes up.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao pursed her lips and did not say anything when she heard that Rong Xue had been waiting outside the ward for a day and a night. Seeing that she was silent, Wenner walked through the door and grabbed her arm to get her back into the ward so that she wouldn¡¯t continue standing by the door and blowing the cold air in the corridor. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Zuo will be fine. The specialists have strictly guaranteed that he is unconscious because of the trauma and excessive blood loss. He will wake up soon. Before he wakes up, what you need to do is to take care of your body and maintain your strength.¡± Anhao suddenly choked up. She held back her tears and looked up at Wenner.¡±You can see my little thoughts.¡± Wenner sighed and laughed.¡± President Zuo is injured and hospitalized. As Mrs. Zuo, it¡¯s only natural for you to go into the ward to take care of her. There¡¯s no need for me to read your mind.¡±¡® Anhao sniffed.¡± But isn¡¯t Miss Rong¡­ ¡°This is because Mr. Zuo hasn¡¯t woken up yet. Who knows if Miss Rong can continue to stay here after he wakes up? Just rest in peace and don¡¯t think too much.¡± As he spoke, Wennar pushed Anhao to the bedside to sit down. At the same time, he looked down at her eyes.¡±You should remember what Assistant MO said before you fainted, right?¡± Anhao paused and asked in confusion,¡±What is it?¡±¡± ¡°Because you arrived in time, the human and material damage caused by the explosion and collapse was minimized. You don¡¯t have to blame yourself for Mr. Zuo¡¯s injury. You didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and just sat quietly on the bed. After a long while, she smiled slightly.¡± Thank you, Mr. Wenner.¡± Wenner smiled and patted her head as if she was a child.¡±¡±Lie back on the bed and take a look at your hand. You lost a lot of blood because you pulled out the needle yourself. The back of your hand is bruised. I¡¯ll call the nurse to help you deal with it.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao obediently returned to her bed. By the time she covered herself with the blanket, Wenner had already pressed the call button on the bedside. While waiting for the nurse to arrive, Anhao leaned against the headboard. Wenner looked at the time and said,¡±¡±l still have some things to do in A City, so I rushed over at the last minute. Seeing that President Zuo is out of danger, I came to see you again. I¡¯ll continue to work immediately and come to see you tomorrow.¡± Anhao nodded. Before she left, Wenner poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the cabinet beside her bed. At the same time, he said in a low voice, ¡°Rongxue is a woman with a very strong personality. You don¡¯t have to pay too much attention to some of her words. No matter what, you just have to believe in Mr. Zuo. Don¡¯t start to think about random things just because of a few words from an unimportant person.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She only looked up at Wenner and saw a comforting smile in his eyes. After thinking about it, she roughly understood what he meant. Actually, she did not think too much about it, and it was impossible for her to be provoked to such an extent by Rong Xue¡¯s words. He had fainted at the entrance of the hospital. He probably caught a cold because he hadn¡¯t noticed it for the past few days. In addition, he had encountered something at the construction site and had a slight displacement of his cervical spine not long ago. That was why he had suddenly passed out. Anhao raised her hand and took the cup of warm water that he had just poured. She held the cup and sat against the headboard, slowly taking two sips. She asked softly, ¡°Were Zuo Hancheng and Miss Rong very much in love?¡± Wenner looked at her and didn¡¯t answer. He just smiled faintly.¡±Why should we care about what happened in the past?¡± ¡°Just because I¡¯m asking about the past, there¡¯s no need for you to hide it from me. ¡°Anhao laughed. Wenner stared at her for a moment before he sighed and laughed.¡±Yes, once.¡± Anhao stared at him and heard him continue,¡±¡±They used to be a couple that many people envied, but Anhao, this doesn¡¯t affect your existence. Before this, they had already been separated for five years. Why did Rongxue suddenly come to China? Only she knows the reason. I believe Mr. Zuo doesn¡¯t care about her thoughts and decisions.¡± At this moment, the nurse pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. The conversation did not continue. Anhao only smiled at Wenner.¡±Mr. Wenner, go ahead. I¡¯ll take care of myself.¡± Wenner smiled and raised his eyebrows.¡± Of course, I believe that you¡¯re very smart. You won¡¯t be so stupid as to give up just because of a few words from others. You have to walk your own path, and it¡¯s the same for relationships. Don¡¯t go with the flow too much. If you care, grab hold of it.¡± ¡°As expected of a psychologist.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Anhao teased.¡± Seeing that Anhao was really smiling, Wenner turned around and walked out with a relieved smile. Before he left, he told the nurse about the bruise on the back of Anhao¡¯s hand that was caused by the removal of the needle. After the nurse understood what to do, she left immediately.. Chapter 207 - Chapter 207: Mr. Zuo, You Can’t Do This (3) Chapter 207: Mr. Zuo, You Can¡¯t Do This (3) Translator: 549690339 The next morning, Anhao¡¯s wounds had just been changed and the gauze on her forehead had been removed. It was only a knock on her forehead, so it wasn¡¯t very serious. She was sitting on the hospital bed, taking an injection while looking down at the gauze on her other hand. She was thinking about how her injury was not serious, but it looked like it was serious with the gauze wrapped around her. How was she going to visit Zuo Hancheng when he woke up? It would be terrible if he asked her to enter the ICU for observation in a fit of anger. She definitely did not want to enter a ward that restricted her freedom. Because she was really bored, she was thinking about whether she should disguise herself and run to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward to take a look at his condition. She hadn¡¯t seen him since he was sent to the emergency room. Even though Wenner and Mobai, who had been here last night, said that he was out of danger, she was still worried. She raised her head and looked at the half-filled drip. Anhao¡¯s patience was slowly decreasing. ¡°Knock, knock!¡± Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward. Anhao thought it was Wenner or Mobai, so she said directly, ¡°¡±Come in.¡± However, when Rong Xue entered the room, Anhao was a little surprised. She looked at the woman who had been in the hospital for two days, but her makeup was still so exquisite that it made her afraid. ¡°I heard that you fainted in the hospital.¡±After entering the door, Rong Xue went straight to the point. Anhao looked at her.¡± Why isn¡¯t Miss Rong staying in the ICU? What are you doing here?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Hancheng has woken up. He was just sent to the general observation ward not long ago. He was getting an injection like you. I came to see you while he was asleep.¡±Rong Xue said as she turned around and locked the door behind her. Seeing Rong Xue lock the door, Anhao did not panic at all. There were only the two of them in the ward. Even though he was receiving an injection, it did not mean that his body was weak. If Rong Xue really wanted to do something to him, it was uncertain who could beat the other. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I locked the door because I didn¡¯t want anyone to come in and disturb me.¡±¡±Miss Gu, can we talk?¡± Rong Xue turned around and looked at her.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Since Zuo Hancheng had woken up, her heart had naturally returned to its normal beating speed. Anyway, she was bored from the injection. Since Rong Xue wanted to help her relieve her boredom, she would not refuse. ¡°We can talk about anything, but Miss Rong, please don¡¯t use your own feelings to consider other people¡¯s emotions. May I ask how you can tell that I¡¯m nervous?¡± At this point, Gu Anhao smiled again.¡± But that¡¯s right. A beautiful woman like Miss Rong will make anyone feel pressured no matter who she stands in front of. Do you think I feel the same way? But I¡¯m sorry, I, Gu Anhao, don¡¯t have any feelings for people who have nothing to do with me. So, Miss Rong, you don¡¯t have to show off your arrogance in front of me. I can see the advantages and disadvantages between you and me. I don¡¯t need you to remind me again and again. ¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Rong Xue laughed.¡±¡±No wonder Han Cheng kept a little girl like you by his side.¡± ¡°Thank you for the compliment.¡± Anhao smiled. The smile in Rong Xue¡¯s eyes turned cold. She had no intention of praising Gu Anhao, but this little girl¡¯s temper was really good. It actually made her feel like she couldn¡¯t control her emotions easily. ¡°Miss Gu, I don¡¯t want to waste my time with you.¡±Rong Xue said softly,¡± Since we¡¯ve already fallen out the first time we met, there¡¯s no need for us to continue acting. My purpose is simple. Please sign this divorce agreement.¡¯¡±¡® Rong Xue took out a newly printed divorce agreement from her exquisite bag and threw it on Anhao¡¯s bed. Anhao looked down at the divorce agreement and flipped through it. The signature column was blank. It was obvious that she had not given the agreement to Zuo Hancheng yet. She had only taken the initiative to make a copy of the agreement for her to sign first. Then, she took the signed agreement to Zuo Hancheng and talked about it. This was the usual tactic of the so-called ¡± strong ¡± women, who thought that they could control everything. Anhao laughed.¡± Miss Rong, you¡¯re not a lawyer, and you¡¯re not our parents. What right do you have to ask me to sign this?¡± Could it be that in the United States, people who wanted to interfere in other people¡¯s marriages would print out such things for the original wife to sign? Rong Xue smiled and said calmly,¡±¡±l¡¯m the middleman to save face for you so that we won¡¯t be in a difficult position in the end.¡± Rong Xue smiled again.¡±¡±l know that you don¡¯t seem to be very favored in the Gu family, and Gu Tianming is also very stingy with you, his daughter, so you¡¯re very short of money. In that case, why don¡¯t I add a condition?¡± She took out a blank check from her bag.¡¯¡±¡® You can fill in any number on this check. As long as you leave Zuo Hancheng quietly and don¡¯t cry or make a fuss, we can discuss all the conditions. I guarantee that you, an orphan who has no one to love you, will have everything after signing this agreement. A house, a car, money, and even changing your nationality to study in a foreign school. I can satisfy you with everything.¡± Anhao looked at the agreement in front of her and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, she raised her head and looked into her eyes. She said softly, ¡°Miss Rong, were you once a person with such a personality?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s gaze froze and she looked at her coldly.¡±¡±What did you say?¡± ¡°I mean¡­¡± ¡± Is the Miss Rong that Zuo Hancheng used to like in America the same as you now?¡± Anhao stared at her.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Then, she threw the blank check in front of Anhao with a smile. ¡°Gu Anhao, don¡¯t talk to me about this kind of boring topic that only young girls would talk about. There are only two choices in front of you. First, sign this agreement. I guarantee that you can use this check as you please. Two, continue to follow a man who doesn¡¯t love you at all and wait to be abandoned by him. In the end, you have nothing.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Rong Xue suddenly laughed and said,¡± You can think that you have a chance just because you are young, but Gu Anhao, let me tell you, Zuo Hancheng is not such a superficial man. He will never think that you are worthy of sympathy or love just because you are young and tender.¡± I¡¯ve said it before. Only women who are as powerful as him are worthy of standing beside him. As for you, your youth isn¡¯t your capital. Instead, it¡¯s the root of your stupidity.¡± ¡°Sign it. I believe that you will make a rational choice, a choice that will make all of us happy.¡±Rong Xue smiled.. Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Mr. Zuo, You Can’t Do This (4) Chapter 208: Mr. Zuo, You Can¡¯t Do This (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao smiled and looked at Rong Xue. ¡°Miss Rong, my youth is the root of my stupidity. If Miss Rong is ten years older than me but is still so stupid, I¡¯m afraid that this cannot be explained by youth. After all, your experience is beyond my reach.¡± As she spoke, Anhao picked up the check and played with it slowly in her hand. She gradually folded the check into a small square and then folded it into a small paper airplane. Under Rong Xue¡¯s gradually frosty eyes, she smiled and threw the paper airplane at her. The paper plane flew past Rong Xue¡¯s face and landed on her high heels. ¡°Zuo Hancheng once told me that any random signature of his would be worth a lot of money, both domestically and internationally. If he were to pick up a pen and sign any document, tens of millions or even billions of dollars might be lost just like that.¡± ¡® Since I¡¯m her legal wife,¡± Anhao continued,¡± you want me to sign these strange Al+ papers? Miss Rong, you¡¯re underestimating me.¡±¡± Rong Xue immediately looked at Gu Anhao, who was still sitting on the hospital bed with an IV drip. In her eyes, this was just a little girl who had not even reached the age of twenty. She was an opponent that could not be considered an opponent at all. She was a small character that could be easily eliminated without using any tricks. However, he never expected that the words coming out of Gu Anhao¡¯s mouth would be so rational that even he was stunned for a moment. By the time Rong Xue came back to her senses, Anhao had already finished the IV drip. She reached out to press the call bell beside the bed to call the nurse to remove the needle for her. Seeing Anhao¡¯s actions, Rong Xue stepped forward and held her hand.¡±¡±What are you doing? Before we finish talking, I don¡¯t want any outsiders to come near this place.¡± Anhao looked at her indifferently, then turned her head to glance at the empty bottle hanging on the bed.¡±¡±Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m done with my medicine? I¡¯ll call the nurse to remove the needle.¡± ¡°I¡¯m pulling out my blood.¡± Rong Xue held her hand. ¡°How would I dare to ask Miss Rong to help me remove the needle? Besides, this is the nurse¡¯s job. There¡¯s no need to continue talking about what you want to talk about.¡± Anhao was about to push her hand away. ¡°I¡¯ve played so many roles, but all I did was remove needles from patients as a nurse. Do you think that actors are all flower vases? Other than acting skills, he also had some professional knowledge.¡±Rong Xue was about to remove the medical tape on the back of her hand. Anhao frowned and pulled her hand away from her hand. As usual, she lifted her hand to remove the tape and quickly pulled out the needle. When Rong Xue paused for a moment, she raised her hand to wipe her nose and said casually, ¡°It¡¯s just pulling out a needle. As long as it doesn¡¯t puncture the blood vessel horizontally, it¡¯ll be fine. What acting skills or professional knowledge do you need? Miss Rong is so funny.¡± Anhao turned around and got off the bed. She put on her shoes and walked to the window to pour herself a glass of water. She slowly drank the warm water in the glass, ignoring the woman behind her. It was as if he had finally seen through Gu Anhao¡¯s personality. It was obvious that neither soft nor hard methods worked on her. Rong Xue did not want to waste any more time with her. She glanced at the blank divorce agreement on the bed and said, ¡°State your conditions.¡± Anhao looked at the hot spring pool downstairs while drinking water. She didn¡¯t expect the park behind the hospital to be so beautiful. She raised her eyebrows and pointed outside the window without turning her head. Rong Xue saw her strange actions and walked over to her side. She looked down at everything outside the window and turned to look at her in confusion.¡±What?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to state my conditions?¡± Anhao calmly took another sip of water and felt that her throat was no longer dry. She put down the glass and said with a light expression,¡±¡±lf you jump down, I¡¯ll sign it. How about it?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s expression changed. She turned around and raised her hand to slap Anhao. Anhao quickly raised her hand to block Rong Xue¡¯s hand and grabbed her wrist. Under Rong Xue¡¯s shocked gaze, Anhao smiled.¡±¡±When you were investigating me, didn¡¯t you find out that I started learning Taekwondo and various female self-defense techniques five years ago?¡± Rong Xue felt the pain from Gu Anhao¡¯s grip on her wrist, but it seemed that Gu Anhao did not use much strength to easily grip her wrist. Rong Xue suddenly pulled her hand back and shook it off. She took a step back and looked at her up and down as if she was looking at a monster.¡±Gu Anhao, I¡¯m here to discuss conditions with you, not to play with a child like you. You can name any reasonable conditions. As long as it¡¯s within my acceptable range, I can agree to it.¡± Anhao pursed her lips, turned around, and walked back to the bedside. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.¡± This person¡¯s treatment is really different. Zuo Hancheng, that wounded patient, can sleep in a ward where no one will disturb him, but I have to be tortured here. What a headache¡­¡± She continued to rub her head as she spoke.¡±My head hurts¡­¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t know that you had such a stubborn temper, little girl.¡± Rong Xue looked at her calmly.¡± Anhao scoffed.¡± I didn¡¯t expect Miss Alice Snow to be so arrogant. She reeks of money. What international superstar? She¡¯s so down-to-earth when she shows her true colors. Tsk tsk, how disappointing.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Rong Xue suddenly walked over and grabbed Anhao¡¯s arm.¡±¡±Hancheng has already suffered such serious injuries because of you. He won¡¯t be able to work normally for at least two months. Do you know how many things will be delayed if he falls?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes paused for a moment when she heard Rong Xue getting to the main topic. She did not say anything, but when Rong Xue grabbed her hand, she turned to look at Rong Xue¡¯s hand. ¡°I told you, I won¡¯t do anything to you. As long as you agree to quit, I won¡¯t make things difficult for you. Why are you so stubborn about something that¡¯s good for all of us? Why did she have to drag on the identity of Mrs. Zuo? What do you think you can get with this identity?¡± Anhao still did not say anything. She felt Rong Xue¡¯s hand on her wrist tightening, and it was even filled with anger. Finally, Anhao looked up and met Rong Xue¡¯s angry gaze. She said softly,¡±¡±Since you were unwilling to give up, why did you let go so easily?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Miss Rong might not be a vase. Your hands are quite strong.¡±Anhao smiled as she spoke.. When Rong Xue frowned and stared at her, she said casually,¡±¡±So, since you let go of me in the past, what right do you have to force me to let go now?¡± Chapter 209 - Chapter 209: Mr. Zuo, You Can’t Do This (5) Chapter 209: Mr. Zuo, You Can¡¯t Do This (5) Translator: 549690339 Since she had already let go back then, why was he forcing her to let go now? Rong Xue¡¯s eyes trembled, but she still looked at her coldly. Anhao tried to pull her hand out of her grasp but failed. Seeing Rong Xue tightening her grip, Anhao looked at her unhappily. ¡°Miss Rong, as an international superstar, how big of a news would it be to injure someone in a ward? Are you sure you don¡¯t want to restrain your temper?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± Rong Xue looked at her coldly.¡± From the beginning, I only thought of you as a simple, vain little girl. I thought that I could get rid of you with money.¡± Now, it seems that other than being vain, you still have some brains. Since you insist on putting us in a dilemma, don¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡± As she spoke, she suddenly flung Anhao¡¯s hand away. Anhao was caught off guard and was flung away by her, falling onto the bed behind her. Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the ward, mixed with the shouts of Mobai and some medical staff. ¡°Mister Zuo! Mr. Zuo! Your injuries are still very serious. You can¡¯t come out like this, Mr. Zuo¡­ You¡­ ¡°Mister Zuo¡­¡± At the same time, the door of the ward was pushed but did not open. Anhao and Rong Xue were stunned for a moment. At the same time, a loud bang came from the door. The door was kicked open and fell straight into the ward with a loud bang. Anhao was still sitting on the bed in a half-sitting position. Rong Xue was also standing by the bed and looking at the figure who appeared outside the door in disbelief. ¡°Mr. Zuo, you¡­You¡­¡± The medical staff was stunned. Mobai was completely stunned. Zuo Hancheng looked at the two women in the ward expressionlessly. Finally, his gaze fell on Rong Xue and he said in a deep and cold voice,¡±¡±What kind of method do you want to use to be rude to her?¡± Fifteen minutes ago- Zuo Hancheng, who had woken up for a few minutes after he was out of danger, opened his eyes again. This time, his condition and physical strength were much better than the last time he woke up. Mobai had just received a call from the company and walked into the ward. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had woken up, he quickly walked over and said,¡±¡±President Zuo, you¡¯re awake?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him and slowly closed his eyes before opening them again. It was a silent response. ¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor over.¡± Mobai immediately turned around and was about to call the doctor from the nearest department over when he heard Zuo Hancheng say in a low voice,¡±¡±How many days did I sleep?¡± MobMobai turned around and said respectfully,¡± CEO Zuo, you have been unconscious for three days since you were injured. Although you woke up once, you only woke up for two minutes before falling asleep again due to exhaustion.¡± Hearing Mobai¡¯s answer, Zuo Hancheng slowly frowned, but he only coughed lightly. Just as Mobai was about to go out and call the doctor, he said in a low voice,¡±¡±How is Anhao? Are your injuries serious?¡± ¡± Miss Gu only has some bruises on her body, and the doctor has already treated them for her. It¡¯s just that not long after the incident at school, her cervical spine is still recovering, and she can¡¯t withstand too much impact for the time being, so she fainted outside the hospital after you were sent to the emergency room. Fortunately, Wenner and I were there at the time, so we sent her to the doctor directly. Now, she¡¯s fine. President Zuo, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Did anything else happen in the past few days?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and touched his forehead. Mobai paused for a moment, as if he was deep in thought. He didn¡¯t know if he should say it when President Zuo had just woken up. Seeing Mobai¡¯s hesitation, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze swept across Mobai¡¯s face.¡±¡±Tell me.¡¯ ¡°Miss Rong is here.¡± MO Bai said softly. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pale brows instantly turned frosty, and his gaze was so cold that it seemed as if he wanted to freeze Mobai to the South Pole. Mobai had never made so many mistakes in the past few days, and most of them were due to the problems between Miss Rong and Gu Anhao. But more importantly, one was President Zuo¡¯s ex-girlfriend, and the other was Mrs. Zuo, who had suddenly confirmed her identity. He really couldn¡¯t figure out the relationship between them. After all, as an assistant, he really couldn¡¯t reject such a relationship problem. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng already knew that Rong Xue was here because he had let it slip. Mobai felt a little awkward and blamed himself.¡±¡±President Zuo, I¡¯m sorry. Miss Rong used to have some friendship with me in the United States, and I also owe her some kindness, so I can¡¯t be too decisive. After all, I stand on a different point of view from President Zuo. However, I have indeed not handled the matters of the past few days perfectly¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not look too good, but he did not say much. He only sighed slightly.¡±Let her be, as long as she doesn¡¯t get close to Anhao.¡± Mobai suddenly thought of something and looked at the time.¡±¡±Miss Rong came in to see you after you were transferred to the normal ward, but she left after that. I heard from the medical staff that they saw Miss Rong go to Miss Gu¡¯s ward¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold. He sat up abruptly and pulled out the needle from the back of his hand under Mobai¡¯s stunned gaze. He then lifted the blanket and got off the bed. However, because of the severe injuries on his body, he staggered the moment he stood up. ¡°President Zuo!¡± Mobai quickly reached out to help him up. This¡­¡± ¡°Where is her ward?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned ugly as he turned to look at Mobai, who was supporting him.¡±¡±Help me over.¡± ¡°Left¡­ ¡°Help me over!¡± A voice that could not be rejected. Mobai looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder and saw that there was a trace of blood on the shoulder of his light blue hospital gown. It must have been a wound that had not yet healed from the action of lifting the blanket and getting out of bed. ¡°But President Zuo, you can¡¯t get out of bed now. Your injuries are not light. The doctor has already said that you can¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Mobai, if you don¡¯t want my first decision to be to kick you out of Shengling when I get back to the company, shut up and help me over right now!¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression had turned extremely cold, Mobai immediately shut his mouth. From his expression, one could tell that President Zuo was not joking. Mobai had no choice but to turn around and take a coat to put on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. He then helped Zuo Hancheng out of the ward, who was still weak from the loss of blood and could not even walk steadily. However, Zuo Hancheng walked past them as if he did not hear the nurse¡¯s words. ¡°Hey, Mr. Zuo, Mr.. Zuo, you can¡¯t leave the ward¡­ Chapter 210 - Chapter 210: Mr. Zuo, You Can’t Do This (6) Chapter 210: Mr. Zuo, You Can¡¯t Do This (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°What kind of method do you want to use to be rude to her?¡± The voice was as cold as a glacier, as if it was carrying a cold wind and torrential rain. When she saw Zuo Hancheng standing at the door of the ward with a pale face, Rong Xue was almost speechless. When she heard his sudden words, her face turned pale under her exquisite makeup, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Anhao, on the other hand, looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was pale and seriously injured, in disbelief. Then, she looked at the door that he had just kicked over. She immediately rolled up from the bed and sat up. She stared at the door on the ground and said,¡±Zuo Hancheng, how did you do it¡­¡± The door of this hospital should be very sturdy. Her impression of Zuo Hancheng was that he was a businessman. Even if he was not the refined kind, he was at least a gentle and handsome man. She had never thought that he would have such good skills. He was so seriously injured and could still kick open such a strong door. Was Zuo Hancheng not as gentle and calm as he looked on the surface? Could it be that he had practiced it before? She thought about how she had never been able to push him away every time she fought him at close range. Even her punches and kicks could be easily resolved by him. so¡­ He must have practiced it before! Damn it! Her husband was so secretive! Slowly discovering the different sides of a man would make her sink into it! Anhao sat on the bed and hugged the blanket. She stared at the pale but cold man standing in front of the door, then turned to look at Rong Xue, who was also shocked by the bed. Rong Xue did not speak for a long time. No one knew what she was thinking about, and the atmosphere was a little tense. Anhao bit her nails and said, ¡®¡±¡®That¡­ I don¡¯t want to get involved in what happened a few years ago, but you have to wait until we¡¯re discharged before you solve it, right?¡± Rong Xue immediately turned back to look at Gu Anhao, her eyes filled with anger. Anhao shrugged her shoulders innocently and spread her hands.¡±¡±What I mean is, Miss Rong, you see, Zuo Hancheng and I are both injured. It¡¯s not good to force us to pull out the needles in our hands and come to see you in the hospital, right?¡± As she spoke, Anhao glanced at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Then, look, it¡¯s obvious that he pulled out the needle himself like me. Miss Rong, can¡¯t I even remind you of this? This is a hospital!¡± Rong Xue did not say anything. She no longer had the domineering aura that she had when she was alone with Anhao, but she did not pretend to be helpless or anything. She just stood calmly by the bed and reached out to pick up the divorce agreement that Anhao had abandoned on the bed. She was about to put it back into her bag quietly. Zuo Hancheng had already seen the few words on the top of the agreement when she picked it up. His dark eyes swept over Rong Xue¡¯s face coldly.¡±Don¡¯t force me to exhaust the last bit of tolerance and courtesy between us. Take your things and leave, immediately! ¡± Rong Xue¡¯s hand that was holding the agreement trembled. She looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction with reddened eyes.¡±l did not explain the matter back then to you because the knot in my heart had not been resolved. Actually, I was forced to do that. I did not go and¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with impatience.¡± I hope you can understand the true meaning of the words ¡®time has passed and circumstances have changed.¡¯ Please leave.¡±¡± Please leave. What a cold word. Rong Xue held the contract that she had specially asked someone to print. Although her eyes were red, they did not fall. In the end, she smiled with tears in her eyes and stared at the pale but still tall man in front of the door. ¡± If you knew the truth, you wouldn¡¯t be so heartless to me. Han City, I spent five years washing away the black spots on my body, washing away the sadness and desolation in my heart. I finally picked up the courage to come to you¡­¡± ¡°Miss Rong.¡± Mobai saw that the blood on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder had already flowed to his arm. He could not stand it anymore and interrupted Rong Xue before she could finish her sentence,¡±¡±When President Zuo arrived, the wound on his shoulder had already split open. If you don¡¯t leave now, President Zuo¡¯s wound might have to be stitched up again, so Miss Rong, you should leave.¡± It was only then that Anhao noticed that blood had already trickled down Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm and dripped onto the ground along his fingers. Rong Xue also wanted to take a look when she saw the blood on his arm. However, when she took two steps closer to him, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows gradually furrowed. Rong Que stopped in his tracks and did not walk over. Instead, he slowly picked up his bag and smiled calmly. ¡® Hancheng, you can¡¯t lie to people. I don¡¯t believe that you¡¯ve forgotten about us so easily, and I don¡¯t believe that such a childish girl can win your heart. I finally found the courage to leave the United States to find you, and I won¡¯t let it go so easily.¡± After that, Rong Xue walked out of the ward. When she passed by him, her eyes were filled with tears, but she maintained her proud smile and turned to leave. It was only when Rong Xue¡¯s footsteps gradually faded away that Anhao seemed to have just recovered from the melodramatic drama in front of her. She quickly ran out of bed and ran to the door. She stood in front of Zuo Hancheng and looked down at the pool of blood dripping from his arm, then at his pale face. Seeing that his expression was not too good, Anhao simply raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the elevator.¡±¡±Looks like it¡¯s really the kind of melodramatic drama where love and killing are full of misunderstandings that I guessed. She¡¯s already in the elevator. If we don¡¯t chase after her now, it¡¯ll be too late¡­¡¯ ¡°Shut up!¡± Zuo Hancheng gritted his teeth and scolded. Anhao suddenly shut her mouth tightly and blinked her eyes innocently at him.¡±l saw that Miss Rong was so affectionate and was so sure that you were deeply in love with her. I was helping you.. ¡°I told you to shut up!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was as cold as his eyes. This was the first time he had spoken to her in such a heartless manner. Anhao was shocked. She was about to speak when Zuo Hancheng suddenly leaned his entire body towards her. She was so frightened that she quickly raised her hand to support him. Feeling that his entire body was about to push her down, she hurriedly shouted, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, didn¡¯t you have the strength to kick over a door just now? ¡®You¡¯re so seriously injured, yet you still ran out of the ward and walked so far away. Why are you still trying to be brave? Why are you angry at me? If you have the ability to be angry, then continue standing. Why are you lying on my body¡­¡¯ Hey¡­ You¡­ However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s physical strength had reached its limit. The blood on his hand had stained her whole body. Anhao was so shocked that she could not curse out loud the moment she lowered her head and saw the blood.. Chapter 211 - Chapter 211: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 211: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s physical strength had reached its limit. The blood on his hand had stained her whole body. Anhao was so shocked that she could not curse out loud the moment she lowered her head and saw the blood. Mobai and the doctor hurriedly helped him up. Even after Zuo Hancheng was helped away, Anhao was still standing in front of the door in a daze. She slowly lowered her head and looked up at the blood on her hand. She immediately ran out like a ghost. He treated the wound, stopped the bleeding, and applied medicine. When Zuo Hancheng was sent back to his ward, Anhao was waiting for him there. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was pale and bloodless when he was brought in, Anhao no longer had the energy to shout at him while she was waiting. She only looked at him quietly, then at the doctors, nurses, and Mobai behind him. Seeing that Anhao had something to say to him, Zuo Hancheng was silent for a moment before he turned around and said,¡¯¡±¡®You guys go out first.¡± After they left, Mobai closed the door behind him. Anhao quickly walked over and reached out to help him up.¡±l¡¯ll help you back to the hospital bed first.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng did not refuse or say anything. He only looked at her. The anger in his clear eyes was gone, but there was no extra emotion. He was a man who was hard to see through. Once he was expressionless, she couldn¡¯t see through him even more. She was a little flustered. ¡°Come, sit down.¡± Anhao helped him to the bedside. She held him with one hand and lifted the blanket on the bed with the other. Just as she was about to help him sit down, she turned to look at his shoulder. Although there was no blood flowing out for the time being, her lips trembled when she thought of the bleeding on his shoulder. She whispered, ¡°Why don¡¯t you lie down¡­¡± He probably did not have much strength to sit and talk to her now. A few minutes later. Anhao sat by the bedside and looked at Zuo Hancheng who was lying quietly on the bed. There was not much blood on his handsome face. Moreover, the heavens were really clever. He was so seriously injured, but there was not a single scratch on his face. It was clean. On the other hand, his forehead was red and there were some scratches on his cheeks. Even if he did not apply medicine, it would take a long time for the marks to disappear. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not speak to her after he lay down, Anhao did not know if he was angry, but she did not know why he was angry with her. When she was buried under the building, he probably didn¡¯t intend to blame her for that. So, it was because of Rong Xue. Wenner had said that Rong Xue and Zuo Hancheng were once an enviable couple. Rong Xue was once Zuo Hancheng¡¯s true love. His true love had returned. No matter what he had done, she was still the heart that had once walked in his heart. Anhao raised her hand and wiped her nose, forcing away the sour feeling in her heart. She sat by the bed and looked at his calm and handsome face.¡±¡±Why were you so angry at me just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng closed his eyes and sighed.¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± I told you to chase after Miss Rong because I feel that although I don¡¯t like people like her, the reason why a woman is so arrogant and indulgent must have something to do with the man she loves.¡±¡® ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she instinctively felt that you would follow her wishes and spoil her, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have dared to say such harsh words.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I instinctively feel that there might really be some misunderstanding between the two of you. Although I don¡¯t want to give you up to someone so stupidly, if the two of you will be together again sooner or later, and I will be kicked away sooner or later, I might as well quit.. ¡°Gu Anhao, your instinct was to run over to me after the incident and tell me that you want to give me away? Anhao raised her hand and scratched her forehead when she heard his tone.¡±¡±l mean¡­ I mean¡­ I don¡¯t know what happened between you and her¡­Anyway¡­ Before I lose my heart and body, even if we get a divorce, I won¡¯t lose anything. You don¡¯t have to worry too much about my feelings.¡± Zuo Hancheng slowly closed his eyes. He could no longer continue chatting with her. His brows furrowed slightly, and his pale lips moved slightly.¡±Get out.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Anhao was stunned. ¡°Get out.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. Did she hear wrongly? ¡°You want me to get lost?¡± She looked at him in shock. Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows. When Anhao sat by the bed and stared at him in disbelief, he opened his eyes and looked at her expressionlessly.¡±¡±Still not leaving? Didn¡¯t he want to retreat before he lost his heart and body? I hope that everything will turn out like this. I¡¯ll fulfill your wish now.¡± Anhao saw the seriousness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant. She remained sitting on the edge of the bed and did not get out. She only met his cold gaze. ¡± I¡¯m not leaving. I was just telling you the worst-case scenario that I expected. I didn¡¯t mean to leave unscathed. Zuo Hancheng, it¡¯s because¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s because¡­¡± She slowly raised her hand and used her finger to draw a distance of only two millimeters in the air.¡±l care about you a little bit. I want to know how big my chances of being eliminated are, so I want to discuss our trump cards with you.¡± Looking at the tiny slit that she had drawn with her finger, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were still cold, but he sneered.¡±¡±l almost lost my life for you, but in exchange, you care a little bit and show your trump card to test me. What kind of attitude do you think I should have because of this little bit of care?¡± As he spoke, he imitated her and lifted his hand to pinch a two-millimeter slit. When Anhao blinked and looked at him, he snorted. It was over, it was over. Zuo Hancheng was really angry. Anhao raised her hand and scratched her forehead again. After a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence,¡±Anyway¡­I didn¡¯t sign that thing even when I was faced with such a huge temptation. This is already a huge bottom line for me. You have to know how strong my desire for money and freedom is. I can even let go of these and put you first. What else do you want¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he was still angered by this stubborn and stubborn girl. ¡°She gave you a check?¡± When he put down his hand, he looked at her as if he was finally going to talk to her properly. Anhao nodded.¡± Chapter 212 - Chapter 212: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 212: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao pursed her lips.¡± It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯m just saying that I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo. No matter how much money she gives me, it¡¯s definitely not enough to compete with everything that Mrs. Zuo has. I definitely won¡¯t let her get her way so easily. How can a smart person like me not know what¡¯s important and what¡¯s important? Of course, I won¡¯t push away such a huge gold mine just because of a small profit.¡± ¡± Gu Anhao,¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± If you really say these words one day, it will prove that you have really grown up.¡¯¡±¡® How could such words prove that she had grown up? What kind of logic was this? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s twisted logic? To understand reality and vanity is to grow up? ¡°But obviously, you only know how to talk glibly in front of me.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently.¡±¡±Go back to the ward. If you have anything to say, wait until you¡¯re discharged.¡± At this moment, Anhao was standing by his bed and refused to leave.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you very familiar with the director of this hospital? Anyway, we are husband and wife. It doesn¡¯t matter if we stay in the same ward. This isn¡¯t the ICU, it¡¯s just a normal ward.¡± When Zuo Hancheng looked at her, Anhao placed her arm on the side of the bed and raised her eyebrows with one hand on her chin. She smiled and looked at him.¡±ln order to ensure that Miss Rong won¡¯t run over to see my husband while I¡¯m resting in another ward, I have to take some precautions. It¡¯s not too much for a husband and wife to stay in the same ward, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say whether he agreed or disagreed. He only looked at her and said slowly in a clear and hoarse voice,¡¯¡±¡®l need silence.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be quiet and won¡¯t disturb you. I know you¡¯re seriously injured and need more rest to recover, so I promise I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned. He knew that once he agreed to her request, he would never have a peaceful life. ¡°Well, you see, Rongxue has come to A City. Now, it¡¯s a tense period for me to guard against fire, theft, and ex-girlfriend. I can only sleep in the same ward as you. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll have the nightmare of being a flower girl behind the two of you again.¡± Anhao said with a smile.¡±lf you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it that you agree, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows, after all, he still loved her, this girl was helpless, his eyes showed that he was compromising, and he let her go. Anhao raised her hand and made a victory gesture. She stood up and walked out of the ward to tell the doctor that she wanted to change wards. After Mobai and the relevant medical staff found out that Zuo Hancheng had approved of Anhao¡¯s request, although the medical staff felt that it was not a good idea, if they were husband and wife, the hospital would not stop them from making such a request. However, Mobai could tell that President Zuo was really indulgent towards Gu Anhao. He had never indulged Rong Xue in such a way, even when he was in America. Perhaps¡­ Maybe¡­ Many things were not absolute. For example, the sudden appearance of this little girl with the surname Gu a few months ago might really be an accident that no one expected. In the ward, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly. Anhao laid on the bed and rolled her eyes from time to time. She was so bored that she almost couldn¡¯t take it. Her injuries were not serious to begin with. She had no intention of leaving the hospital because Zuo Hancheng was hospitalized. However, because of the request to move into his ward, she now had to receive the same treatment as him. The ward had to be quiet and she had to rest more. When Zuo Hancheng was resting, she had to rest too. She was not allowed to make any noise. Anhao lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.¡±A Zuo Hancheng¡­Two Zuo Hancheng¡­Three Zuo Hancheng¡­Four Zuo Hancheng¡­ Five Zuo Hancheng¡­ Eighteen Zuo Hancheng¡­Thirty Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Her voice was very, very, very soft as she tried her best to hypnotize herself. However, not only did she not fall asleep, she became more and more energetic. Zuo Hancheng, who was lying on another bed not far away, turned to look at her.¡±¡±lf you can¡¯t sleep, just sit up and watch TV. You don¡¯t have to force yourself to sleep.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep?¡± Anhao heard his voice and immediately flipped over from the bed, lying on the bed and looking at him. The two of them looked at each other in their respective beds. She was smiling brightly. Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was still pale, it was much better than yesterday. Seeing her lively appearance, he smiled and said, ¡°The excessive loss of blood is just a temporary lack of strength. It¡¯s easy to feel tired, so you won¡¯t be sleeping all the time.¡± When Anhao heard this, she suddenly sat up and got off the bed to peel the fruit. Finally, she cut a plate of fruit and sent it to his bed.¡±Then, do you want some fruit?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have an appetite. Eat it yourself.¡± However, his answer was obviously useless. Anhao first ate a piece of sliced honeydew and felt that it tasted good. The sweetness was moderate and should not cause him to be disgusted. She directly used a small fork to pick up another piece and fed it to his mouth. She said in a dignified manner,¡±Ah! Open your mouth!¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her and sighed. In the end, he let her feed him the fruits. Under the setting sun, the white snow outside the hospital reflected the glow into the ward and shone on the two of them. Anhao didn¡¯t mistreat herself nor abuse him. She distributed the food evenly until she felt full. She put down the plate and returned to her bed. As she covered herself with the blanket, she said,¡± Well, Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t think that I¡¯m here to make things difficult for you just because I¡¯m staying in the same ward as you. At least I can help take care of you. Go to sleep quickly. I won¡¯t make any noise for the next two hours.¡±¡± Half an hour later. Anhao still couldn¡¯t fall asleep. She tossed and turned in bed, thinking about how she was going to endure the next two hours. After all, Zuo Hancheng was not a god. He was a mortal after all. He would suffer from illnesses, bleeding, and injuries. He would also need to rest and get enough sleep when he was too tired. She couldn¡¯t keep disturbing him, but she was really bored. What should she Did the doctors in this hospital know how to treat patients? Shouldn¡¯t a patient who had lost too much blood replenish their blood? If she kept letting Zuo Hancheng sleep, would he sleep like a fool? In the end, Anhao sat up and quietly stretched her neck to look at Zuo Hancheng, who seemed to have fallen asleep on the bed opposite her. After staring at him for a while, Anhao let out a sigh of relief and quietly got off the bed. She quietly walked to his bedside and looked down at the pale man who was sleeping soundly. She slowly bent down to look at his face up close. Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 213: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had never thought that there would be such a good-looking man in this world. Not only was he handsome, not only was he handsome, but he was also not only warm. He had the gentle and mellow feeling of a mature and steady man, but he was indifferent and never deliberately showed his superiority. He was such a man who made people unable to look away when they fell in love with him. Anhao sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face for a long time until she finally felt sleepy and fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark. The lights in the ward were not switched on, and only the dim bed light by the bed was lit. Ever since Anhao was arranged to stay in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward, Zuo Hancheng had instructed the hospital¡¯s medical staff not to come here unless it was necessary for checkups and injections. Even Anhao didn¡¯t know how long she had been sleeping by his bed. She looked up at the dim ward and turned around to take a look at her phone. She had slept for more than an hour. She rubbed her hair and yawned. When she turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was still asleep, she walked back to his bed and looked down at him for a while. She could not help but laugh and raised her hand to touch his nose playfully. This man¡¯s nose was very straight, but not in an exaggerated way. In any case, it was especially good-looking. From all angles, it was perfect. Just as her finger was about to poke his nose, her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had suddenly raised his hand to grab her wrist, in surprise.¡±¡±When did you wake up?¡± ¡°I woke up half an hour ago. I didn¡¯t wake you up when I saw you sleeping so well on the bed.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her and held her wrist tightly.¡±¡±When I was sleeping, you came to the bed to peek at me, and now you¡¯re secretly touching me. Can¡¯t you look at me openly when I¡¯m awake?¡± ¡°What am I looking at when you¡¯re awake?¡±Anhao quickly pulled her hand out and said nonchalantly,¡±¡±Their eyes are staring at each other like light bulbs. What are you doing? Whose eyes are bigger?¡± Zuo Hancheng slowly sat up and raised his hand to touch the wound on his shoulder. Anhao saw his action from the corner of her eye and quickly turned around to say, ¡®¡±¡®The doctor said you can¡¯t move!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t get out of bed and walk around. I¡¯ll just sit here.¡±Zuo Hancheng said softly. At the same time, he suddenly reached out to hold Anhao¡¯s hand and gently pulled her to the bedside to sit down.¡±Get Mobai to bring the computer over tomorrow. At least you can go online and read the news, so you don¡¯t have to lie in bed all day.¡± ¡® Really?¡± Anhao immediately turned her eyes away. Then I promise I won¡¯t play games and disturb your rest. I¡¯ll just watch my favorite movies and anime with the subtitles muted.¡± ¡°You can do whatever you want. I asked you to come over to stay with me so that you won¡¯t be able to sleep well because of your wild thoughts.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a seriously injured patient now. If I don¡¯t accommodate you, who else can I accommodate?¡± Anhao said as she pushed him.¡±Lie down quickly. When the doctor comes in and sees you sitting up, he will definitely blame me for coming to seduce you again. ¡± The word ¡®hook up¡¯ made Zuo Hancheng raise his eyebrows slightly. He smiled lightly and stroked her head.¡±l¡¯m not crippled yet. It¡¯s just that I need time to wait for my wounds to heal. You don¡¯t have to be so careful.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡¯t need to be careful, I don¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng said softly,¡± The Zheng F should have already taken notice of the Lianheng explosion. They have started to intervene in this matter, so they will naturally come to the hospital to ask about my injury. Although the city hospital and Shengling Group do not have much contact, the doctors in these hospitals will naturally be careful since the Zheng F has given the word. They are not rolling their eyes at you, but they are afraid that you will affect their medical progress and the Zheng F will doubt the hospital¡¯s medical standards.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything for a while. In the end, she pursed her lips.¡±This game in the adult world seems to be more dangerous than I imagined. Money and power are too important.¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±When you were injured and pushed into the emergency room, I couldn¡¯t seem to do anything. I could only stand outside with red eyes and stare blankly. However, the others could arrange things properly.¡± Although Anhao had a smile on her face, her eyes were obviously filled with hesitation that she did not want him to notice. ¡°I have enough people by my side. I don¡¯t need a wife who can take care of everything. Anhao, I¡¯ve told you more than once that you just need to be yourself. ¡± Anhao smiled and suddenly leaned her head on his uninjured shoulder. She said in a sweet voice,¡¯¡±¡®What should I do? You can always pull me out of that narrow corner that belongs to me. When I am by your side, my eyes are always filled with so much light, but the brighter it is, the more I worry that all of this is just a beautiful dream sent by the heavens.¡± She was like Cinderella when the bell rang in the middle of the night. No matter how well dressed she was, no matter how happy she was, when the bell rang, Cinderella had to return to her original appearance. She continued to live stubbornly in the dark corner. In fact, Anhao really wanted to say,¡± Zuo Hancheng, can you not be so nice to me? I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll get addicted to it. I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll fall from such a high place one day.¡± However, she felt that these words were too mushy, so she simply leaned her head on his shoulder and turned her head to rub against his neck. She leaned into his arms and muttered coquettishly,¡±lt¡¯s so strange. The doctor has changed the medicine on your body countless times, but why does your body still smell so good¡­ ¡°Smells good?¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed softly and looked down at the little girl who was in his arms and seemed unwilling to leave. He hugged her shoulders and pulled her closer to his embrace.¡±Are you sure it¡¯s not the smell of disinfectant and medical alcohol?¡± She took a few deep breaths and rubbed her face against his shoulder.¡±¡±lt¡¯s disinfectant, not medical alcohol, not shampoo, and it¡¯s not the smell of shower gel.¡± As she rubbed against him, she suddenly raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck. She whimpered in his arms and refused to move away from him. She sniffed and whispered in his arms like a little puppy,¡±Yes¡­. The smell of Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Chapter 214 - Chapter 214: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 214: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°If you continue to rub yourself in my arms and keep smelling, it¡¯s hard to guarantee that I won¡¯t be able to restrain myself.¡±Zuo Hancheng pressed down on her body that was moving around in his arms. Anhao looked up at him in surprise.¡±¡±No way! You¡¯re a seriously injured patient now.¡± ¡°Only my shoulder is injured. Do you think I can¡¯t move my entire body?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao choked for a moment and immediately moved a little closer to him. She sized him up a few times and then glanced at him with her small eyes.¡±Even if it¡¯s just your shoulder, didn¡¯t the doctor say that you lost too much blood and you¡¯re very weak?¡± ¡°Weakened?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to like this word very much. He smiled meaningfully and leaned close to her lips. He said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±Do you want to try?¡± As he spoke, his hand had already circled around her body and was about to press her onto the bed under them. Anhao immediately let out a low cry and jumped out of his arms. Thinking of how he had kicked open the door of her ward the moment he woke up, she knew that if he wanted to prove that he was okay now, he definitely had the ability to prove it. She did not want to challenge this bottom line! ¡°This is a hospital. You¡¯re not allowed to do anything.¡±Anhao jumped away from the bed and quickly ran back to her own bed. With a cautious expression, she wrapped the blanket around herself. When Zuo Hancheng sat on the bed opposite her and looked at her with a faint smile, Anhao refused to look him in the eye. She closed her eyes and lay on the bed. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and pressed the bell on the bedside. She looked up at the nurse opposite the call bell and said,¡± It¡¯s time for dinner, I¡¯m hungry¨C¡± The nurses on duty were speechless. Why was Gu Anhao complaining about hunger all day? Was that little girl reincarnated from a hungry ghost? What was the most convenient thing to do after staying in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward? Of course, she could see the expression on Boss Zuo¡¯s face every day when he needed to pee. Tsk tsk, with so many IV drips and all kinds of anti-inflammatory injections every day, the number of times he went to the toilet would definitely be much higher than usual. Speaking of which, Anhao felt that the CEO¡¯s divinity had finally dropped a little when he became down-to-earth. Sometimes, a certain someone did not feel so high and mighty, which made her feel that her breathing was much smoother. In the same ward, there was a seriously injured patient and a patient who had no major illness but was living in the hospital. Anhao was having her fill and was dabbing the lotion she borrowed from the nurses ¡®station on her face. As she was taking pictures, she said that she was about to turn twenty. She really should listen to Chunchun and the others ¡®advice to protect her skin to prevent premature aging. These few days, when she washed her face in the hospital, she felt that her skin was really dry as if it was about to crack. She had to protect the rich colloid on her face. It was said that the older a woman was, the faster the loss of the protein on her face, and the easier it was for her to age. So, how could he be young? Rong Xue had said that being young was not her asset, but Anhao felt that being young was her asset. At least she could throw her face on the faces of some other women when they came to challenge her. In the quiet ward, the sound of people patting their faces could be heard one after another. The nurse walked into the room and removed the needle from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. She took away the IV drip. Anhao patted her face and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing that his eyes were still closed, she did not know if he was really asleep or just pretending. Just as she was about to quietly get out of bed and go to the nurse¡¯s station to borrow some skincare lotion or something to apply, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice as as soon as her feet touched the ground.¡±¡±Help me up.¡± She paused and turned around to see that Zuo Hancheng was already looking at her. Although his eyes were not as sleepy as when he first woke up, they were not as lively as usual. Three hours ago, when the nurse came for the injection, she said that the injection these days had anti-inflammatory and sedative effects. The effect was very strong. After the injection, Mr. Zuo¡¯s mental state would be a little weaker than usual, but this could ensure his rest and sleep time. ¡°Do you need to go to the bathroom?¡± Anhao was wearing a pair of slippers that had been sterilized in the hospital as she walked over to his bed. After helping him to the washroom last night, Zuo Hancheng had obviously given up on calling the hospital¡¯s senior nurse to take care of him. Anhao was living here, and he had already regarded her as the most convenient nurse. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and saw that Anhao had just washed her face and patted it with water. She looked so refreshed and did not look sick at all. He could not help but snort.¡±Are you sure you want to stay in the hospital?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure. I already said that we¡¯re here to prevent your ex- girlfriend from making a sudden attack. ¡°Anhao boasted shamelessly. ¡°Help me to the bathroom.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not continue the topic and slowly raised his hand. As expected, she was right. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and she reached out to help him up. It was her husband¡¯s fault for being weak and fragile recently. She could not ask other nurses who had feelings for him to do something like urinating. Otherwise, what would he do if the weak Left Hancheng was taken advantage of by others? However, she was unhappy that after helping Zuo Hancheng to the washroom, he blocked her outside the washroom and did not let her take another look. Speaking of which, this man was usually like a pervert after taking a shower at home, but now he was serious in the hospital. ¡°Hey, do you need me to accompany you in? In front of the washroom, Anhao was winking at Zuo Hancheng with a perverted look on her face. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her calmly. When he reached the door of the bathroom, he gently waved her hand away. Without a word, he walked in alone with his hand on the wall. Just as Anhao was about to peek inside, he closed the door. ¡°Tsk! Anhao, whose vision was blocked, turned her head and stood outside the bathroom door. She snorted and said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, there are times when you are shy! I don¡¯t even mind, so why are you so shy? If you really can¡¯t handle it yourself, it doesn¡¯t matter if you let me help you take off your pants!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the ward door. Ann turned around and looked at the door. She walked over to open the door and saw Wenner holding a basket of fresh fruits. ¡°What kind of habit do you have? You only give fruits when you visit patients. Can¡¯t you give some seafood, scallops, spicy crayfish, or something?¡±Anhao said as she stepped aside to let Wenner in. ¡°You¡¯re really staying in this ward?¡± Wenner smiled and looked at her.¡± Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (5) Chapter 215: The Tsundere Zuo Hancheng (5) Translator: 549690339 Seeing Anhao¡¯s ¡®good wife and mother¡¯ expression, Wenner placed the fruit basket on the table and turned to look at the ward.¡±¡±Where is Mister Zuo?¡± Ann turned around and pointed at the bathroom with her chin.¡±¡±Well, there are three things people need to do urgently.¡± Wenner instantly understood. Seeing Anhao¡¯s energetic look, he sized her up and said,¡±l had something to do that day and left. I didn¡¯t expect you to recover so quickly.¡± ¡°Aiya, what¡¯s the big deal? It¡¯s just a bump on the stairs. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±Anhao did not seem to mind.¡± I¡¯ve seen the true face of an international movie star. Don¡¯t you think Zuo Hancheng was too young back then? How could someone with Rongxue¡¯s personality be chosen by Zuo Hancheng?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Oh? Did Rongxue come to find trouble with you?¡± ¡°Stop pretending. With your relationship with Mobai and Zuo Hancheng, how could you not know that Rongxue came to force me to get a divorce the other day? Even if Mobai didn¡¯t tell you, you must have asked him about what happened in the hospital over the past few days. ¡°Anhao glanced at him. Wenner laughed.¡± It¡¯s still Gu Anhao after all. With your crafty personality and habit of asking questions until the end, perhaps you can also be promoted to a private detective one day.¡±¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to say. I¡¯m really interested. If one day I don¡¯t want to go to school, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to accept you.¡± Wenner glanced at Anhao¡¯s eyes and guessed what she was thinking. He said softly,¡±¡±People change, especially those who are addicted to the entertainment industry or vanity fair. Even if they were once innocent and harmless, they will eventually be dyed into a poisonous overlord flower. In five years, everything will change.¡± ¡°I like the words ¡®white lotus¡¯!¡±Anhao nodded and gave him a thumbs up in satisfaction.¡±¡± Wenner, I¡¯ve realized that you¡¯re really to my liking. If it weren¡¯t for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s obstruction, I could have become your ultimate fan in a flash!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense with me. I don¡¯t want to offend Mr. Zuo because of you. I still want to live longer.¡± ¡°Is he that scary?¡± Anhao pursed her lips. When she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened, she could not help but whisper softly, ¡°¡±lsn¡¯t he just a mortal who needs to go to the bathroom frequently after using too many bottles?¡± Wennarden smiled and did not say anything. In the blink of an eye, he raised his hand to greet Zuo Hancheng, who had already walked out of the bathroom. Zuo Hancheng glanced at him.¡± Aren¡¯t you busy expanding your business in the country recently?¡± You still have time to come to the hospital?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo and Miss Gu are both in the hospital. Even if I don¡¯t have time, I have to make time to visit them. ¡°Wenner looked at Anhao meaningfully.¡±¡±Besides, I¡¯m also Miss Gu¡¯s half-psychiatrist psychiatrist. Recently, her psychological trauma might increase. I have to give her more guidance so that she doesn¡¯t get agitated.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes at him. Then, she smiled and turned around to pick up the fresh fruits that Wenner had just sent over. She went outside to wash them and left the ward for them. It was not as if she could not tell what Wenner had to say to Zuo Hancheng. She was well aware of this. In fact, Wenner had said that she was afraid that she would be agitated and get sick. In fact, he was referring to Rong Xue. Anhao was focused on washing the fruits while humming a song. She wasn¡¯t so easily defeated. Who didn¡¯t have a past? She still had Yi Zeyang in her past. She was still brooding over what happened to Yi Zeyang. If Rongxue¡¯s appearance and a few threatening words could easily defeat her, then she would not be the famous beauty of A High, Gu Anhao. It was unknown what Wenner and Zuo Hancheng were talking about in the ward, but Wenner left after a while. Before he left, he gave Anhao a USB drive. Anhao held the silver USB and looked at him strangely. In the end, Wenner simply said, ¡°¡±Mr Zuo is worth your effort to capture him. Don¡¯t easily believe anyone else¡¯s words.¡± Anhao nodded and blinked. ¡°Then what is this USB drive?¡± ¡°Your husband has always been low-key. There is some information about him in the United States that can¡¯t be found on the Internet. Although this information isn¡¯t much, it can more or less give you a better understanding of his past.¡± Anhao held the USB drive tightly in her hands and smiled.¡±¡±Thanks Seeing that this girl was so straightforward and quick-witted without much guidance, Wenner smiled. Anhao sat on the hospital bed with the laptop that Mobai had sent over. It was as if she was on vacation in a hotel. She was listening to music with her headphones on while ¡± searching for study materials ¡± on the Internet. The so-called study materials, in fact, she was lying on the Internet and looking up all kinds of things about Zuo Hancheng in America and the things in the USB drive. Indeed, there was not much information in the USB drive, and there was not much news about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Chinese name on the Internet. From his information, his English name was Vllen. However, such a short English name was even more difficult to find out. She even added the English writing method of Shengling Group, but she did not find out much about his past. In fact, Anhao could sense the danger of Rong Xue¡¯s existence. Confidence and trust were the reasons why she could stay by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side with peace of mind, but it was impossible for her to not have any doubts. What she wanted to know now was whether or not it was because of Rong Xue that Zuo Hancheng suddenly uprooted Shengling Group from the United States five years ago and brought it back to China. However, she could not find any of these. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name was only legendary on the foreign internet. The USB drive recorded his business legends one after another and countless records in the financial industry. Even the holder of the highest rolling financial figures in a famous international exchange in Washington, USA, was still Zuo Hancheng. Although the name was marked with his English name, it made no difference that Vllen was Zuo Hancheng. Anhao even realized that Zuo Hancheng had already had an extraordinary business experience since he was 15 years old before he started to get involved with Shengling Group, the Zuo family¡¯s business, at the age of 18. He was a well-known financial analyst on Wall Street and an excellent investor. Before he took over Sheng Ling, he had earned his first huge sum of money with his unique analysis and keen intuition. This sum of 500 million US dollars allowed him to successfully complete the first large-scale financing that he personally created on the first day he accepted Shengling Group. At that time, Zuo Hancheng had not even turned 18 yet.. Chapter 216 - Chapter 216: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (1) Chapter 216: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had wanted to read some gossip about Zuo Hancheng, but she ended up seeing all kinds of legends and records about this man. Her husband was so powerful! Moreover, he was such a low-profile expert! He was the most famous young financial analyst and investor on Wall Street at the age of 16 or 17. At such a young age, he had already calmly manipulated the market in front of countless big screens. He had even caused countless companies to fail. However, no one expected that the person manipulating the market behind the scenes was a teenager who was not even 18 years old. Anhao regretted that she did not see what Zuo Hancheng was like ten years ago. She could only find a shadow of a young man who was intelligent and beautiful like a demon from his handsome face after years of accumulation. It was as if he had just noticed Anhao¡¯s gaze. Zuo Hancheng lifted his gaze from the document in his hand and met her love-struck gaze in the blink of an eye. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± His brows twitched slightly. Not only did Anhao not retract her gaze, but she also looked at him with a smitten smile. She held her chin with her hands and said with admiration,¡±A few days ago, someone said that I would never be able to catch up to the ten years gap between us.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything when he heard this, but he could already guess who had said this to her. ¡°But why should I?¡± Anhao smiled brightly and tilted her head to look at him proudly.¡±¡±There are plenty of elites in various industries behind you, and there are also many people who are on par with you in terms of military power. However, vou only admire them and don¡¯t like them verv much. So, why should I work so hard to catch up to you?¡± Anhao said seriously, ¡°¡±What about you? What you lack the most is an obedient, cute, and cute young beauty like me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve decided to worship you from today onwards. I¡¯ll treat you as my idol in life. I¡¯ll turn your photo into a poster and stick it on my bed like everyone else on the Star Channel. I¡¯ll hug your photo and kiss it at least 30 times a day before hugging your photo to sleep ¡°Don¡¯t you think hugging and kissing me thirty times a day is more meaningful than hugging and kissing a poster thirty times?¡±Zuo Hancheng interrupted her when he saw her strange actions of being smitten. Anhao paused for a moment before raising her hand and saying, ¡®¡±¡®That¡¯s different. An idol is an idol. You can only worship it, not profane it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind your profanity.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, and she quickly returned to the main topic.¡±¡±When you were 16 or 17 years old, you were already so famous in front of the financial market on Wall Street. Just a few words of analysis and a simple investment made you gain such a huge profit. 500 million USD. Quickly teach me, I also want to have some achievements before the age of twenty!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything after hearing her words. He only slowly raised his elegant eyebrows and looked at her calmly. ¡°You said you were checking study materials, but in the end, you secretly investigated me on various media websites?¡± Anhao¡¯s face tensed up.¡± This isn¡¯t an investigation. I¡¯m just concerned about you and want to understand you. You¡¯re an injured patient now, so I can¡¯t keep talking to you, so I just casually looked it up on the Internet.¡± ¡°Your husband is right in front of you. Instead of coming to understand me, you used the internet to get to know me better. Don¡¯t you think that you¡¯ve chosen the wrong direction from the beginning?¡± Anhao could tell that he was about to get angry. She knew that it was not very honorable of her to secretly go online to look up his past with the excuse of reading study materials. She chuckled and quickly closed her phone and computer. She got out of bed and went to his side with a smile on her face.¡±No matter what, I¡¯m trying to understand you. No matter what method I use, it¡¯s better than nothing, right?¡± ¡°Better than nothing? You¡¯re using these new words.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched, and she could only stand by his bedside and admit her mistake.¡±¡±Alright, I know I was wrong. In the future, I¡¯ll use the computer to watch movies and anime to relieve my boredom, or check my study materials to be a good third-year student preparing for the exam. I won¡¯t lie anymore.¡± With that, she grinned and went forward to kiss him. She had intended to kiss him on the cheek, but Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her and raised the document in his hand to block her kiss. At the same time, when Anhao took a step back in shock, he used a rolled up document to knock her head hard.¡±Save this method for when you¡¯re discharged from the hospital.¡± Anhao snickered. When he reopened the document and continued to read it seriously, she lowered her head and looked at the document in his hand She was confused when she saw the English words and various international business forms that she couldn¡¯t understand. She turned to look at him and said, ¡°¡±Since he was such a legendary figure overseas, why was he willing to remove everything and return to China to start from scratch?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze did not leave the document in his hand. He did not even lift his eyelids. He only replied indifferently,¡± It¡¯s a tiring way of living to stand at the top all the time. To uproot everything and return to this place with more complicated business, economic, and social relationships is not only a deeper challenge, but also the root of Shengling Group¡¯s founding in the Zuo family a long time ago. From the United States to China, it¡¯s just a fallen leaf returning to its roots. There¡¯s not so much of a reason.. Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (2) Chapter 217: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (2) Translator: 549690339 However, it seemed that it was not just that. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have two nationalities. Although she did not know much about these, since he could bring her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married in the normal way and could establish a foothold in the United States as a Chinese American, it seemed that the Zuo family was not simple. Zuo Hancheng saw the curiosity in Anhao¡¯s eyes and sighed.¡±¡±The roots of Shengling Group are here. It¡¯s a very simple answer. From China to the United States, and then back to China. Do you really need me to explain such a simple principle in detail?¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯m just curious, but it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know how to analyze it. I already understand. Continue reading your documents and don¡¯t worry about me.¡±Anhao said as she stood up and walked to the door of the ward.¡±¡±l¡¯m going to find the nurse to chat about life. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be so bored that I¡¯m going crazy. I¡¯ll bring you some delicious food later The delicious food that Anhao was talking about was the medicine that she had brought back from the nurse. It was the medicine that Zuo Hancheng had to take every day. Zuo Hancheng sighed and shook his head. Anhao walked out of the ward and headed straight for the nurses ¡®on-call room. Actuallv. she was there to help Zuo Hanchenz get the medicine. so that the nurses would not be able to control themselves from peeking at her husband when they could enter the ward. It just so happened that she could chat with those young nurses and understand some of the things she wanted to know. For example, whether Rong Xue had been here recently, whether she had been loitering outside the ward where they could not see, whether anyone else had been here, and whether anything else had happened. Every time, Anhao would only return to the ward after she understood all of this. Today was no exception. She was holding the medicine that Zuo Hancheng had taken before he went to bed as usual, and in her other hand, she was holding a small bag of chips that a nurse had given her. She was walking back happily, but she was surprised to see a figure who should not have been there. Yi Zeyang turned around outside the ward and saw Anhao, who was wearing a patient¡¯s gown but looked very healthy. Seeing that she was in a good mood and humming a song, Anhao¡¯s expression froze for a moment when their eyes met. She immediately stopped a few meters away from him. ¡°Anhao.¡± Seeing the stiffness in Anhao¡¯s eyes, Yi Zeyang looked at her and said, ¡°¡±How is your body? Are you feeling better?¡± In Anhao¡¯s memory, the last time she saw Yi Zeyang was at the dinner party. After his fianc¨¦e put on a show, she turned around and left. Later on, when she was rescued from the bathroom on the sixth floor of the school, Yi Zeyang seemed to be there too. However, after she woke up, he had not appeared. It was as if he had suddenly disappeared without a trace, just like five years ago. She thought that he would disappear forever. She did not expect him to appear here. When she saw that he was holding a box of her favorite candy cakes when she was young, Anhao looked up and met his gaze. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yi Zeyang looked at her and slowly walked over. He stopped in front of her and saw the deliberate distance in her eyes. He did not say much and only handed her the box of candy cakes in his hand, was passing by the hospital, so I dropped by to see you.¡± He didn¡¯t mention how he knew she was injured, nor did he ask about what happened to her. He just looked at her calmly.¡±You¡¯ve always been covered in wounds since you were young. It¡¯s almost twenty weeks. Take good care of yourself and don¡¯t get hurt again.¡± Anhao was stunned. She looked up at him and reached out to take the box of sugar paste. After taking a look at the box, she smiled and said,¡± Thank you. I haven¡¯t eaten the candy cakes in this shop for a long time. I still remember that this shop was on the opposite side of the Yi family¡¯s old mansion when I was young. I haven¡¯t eaten it for at least five or six years¡­¡± Yi Zeyang still did not say anything. He only curled his lips slightly,¡±¡±l¡¯m sorry about what happened to Weiran at the banquet last time.¡± Anhao took two deep breaths and grinned. ¡°What¡¯s there to be sorrv about? Perhaps Miss Qi did sprain her ankle. No matter what, I have bronze skin and iron bones. I don¡¯t feel anything about that kind of situation, so you don¡¯t have to apologize on her behalf. This will make me feel that you treat her as one of your own, but you treat me as an outsider.¡± Yi Zeyang smiled.¡± Anhao, I¡¯m used to treating you like a child. However, in the five years that we missed each other, no matter how much your personality has changed, you¡¯ve indeed grown.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao took a deep breath and continued smiling. ¡°Yes, the flowers in the greenhouse are the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. When they bloom under the sun, everyone can see them. However, the grass that is pressed under the stone is also quietly growing. Although it may grow crooked because of the pressure, this does not affect the healthy growth of a life that also yearns for the sun.¡± Yi Zeyang looked at her deeply and heard the hidden meaning in her seemingly unintentional words. He was sure that she was indeed more clear-headed than he had imagined, so he did not say anything more. He only raised his hand to touch the slightly red wound on her forehead. ¡°You and Zuo Hancheng are staying in the same ward?¡± Anhao looked up at him calmly.¡± Yes, because we¡¯re husband and wife. This is a special treatment given by the hospital.¡± After saying that, she grinned. Yi Zeyang retracted his hand.¡± Rest well. If you need anything, call me directly.¡± When you need me, I will be there at any time.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips moved slightly. She wanted to say something, but she couldn¡¯t say it. She only looked at him and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll leave first then. Because there was another person in the ward, he obviously did not want to go in and sit. Anhao didn¡¯t try to stop him, but when Yi Zeyang turned around, she raised her head and looked back at his back as if he was leaving with a clear light. She slowly clenched the small box in her hand. Would he appear immediately when she needed him? Did he mean that he felt that she no longer needed him and that it was inconvenient for him to interfere at any time? Although this was the truth, Anhao still felt a little sour in her heart. If it wasn¡¯t for Yi Zeyang¡¯s engagement, perhaps she would have tried to stick by his side a few months ago, just like when she was young. She had been following him all the time, and her stubborn feelings for him had been buried deep in her heart since she was young. Although she had hidden them in the most hidden place for the past five years, it didn¡¯t mean that they didn¡¯t exist. But Yi Zeyang, you¡¯re engaged. Even if Zuo Hancheng did not exist in this world, I would not have called you when I needed you. Even though I did not save your number in my phone, I had already memorized the string of numbers. For as long as she could remember, she had been sticking to him like a stalker. He used to be the person she trusted the most. How could she not need him? But so what if he needed it? Chapter 218 - Chapter 218: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (3) Chapter 218: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao stood outside the ward for a while. After calming down a little, she pushed the door open and walked in. Lin Qing had arrived at some point in time and was quietly reporting to Zuo Hancheng about all the missed meetings that Zuo Hancheng had asked her to bring along. She was also looking at the laptop in her hand seriously. Seeing this, Anhao did not disturb him. She casually placed the medicine she had just taken from the nurse¡¯s duty room by his bed, then turned around and carried the box of candy cakes back to her bed. Lin Qing saw Anhao sitting back on the bed and staring at the exquisite little box in a daze. Anhao turned around and saw Lin Qing looking at her, so she quickly opened the box and pointed at the colorful candy cakes in the box, saying softly,¡±¡±Do you want to eat?¡± Lin Qing smiled and shook his head. Then, he turned around and continued to talk to Zuo Hancheng about the company. Anhao sat cross-legged on the hospital bed in boredom. She rested her arms on her knees and rested her chin on her hands as she looked at the sweet cakes that she liked the most in her memory. Since Lin Qing didn¡¯t like to eat and Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t like to eat sweets, she would just eat them herself. She took out a pink candy cake and put it into her mouth. After taking two bites, she paused and slowly took half of the candy cake out of her mouth. Her eyes were a little puzzled as she picked up another piece and took a bite. After biting a few more, she raised the box and looked at the shelf life below. This candy cake was made five days ago. Although the shelf life was seven days and it had not expired, Anhao still slowly put down the box. Her eyes gradually turned red as she looked at the colorful candy cakes inside. Yi Zeyang knew that she liked to eat this shop¡¯s sugar cakes when she was young. This shop always made and sold them on the same day. They had never sold overnight sugar cakes. When she was young, Yi Zeyang would always buy freshly cooked food for her to eat. It tasted sweet and soft, much better than the ones that had been wrapped for a few hours. This was his habit. A person¡¯s habit would not change. But this box, he actually bought it for five days before sending it over. He had just said that he was passing by the hospital and had come up to see her. How many times had he passed by the hospital? How many times did he wander around? How long had he hesitated before coming up to see her? He must have been hesitating today. The small box had been in his car tor five days, and he finally decided to bring it up today. However, even someone as meticulous as him made a careless mistake and did not bring her the freshest one. Five days. Has Yi Zeyang been to the hospital for five days? Anhao didn¡¯t dare to think too much about it. She sniffed and continued to eat the sugar cake. However, as she ate, she secretly turned her face towards the window and her eyes turned red. ¡°Alright, President Zuo, I¡¯ll convey it to them at the executive meeting according to your instructions. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± As Lin Qing spoke, he put away the laptop and the meeting materials. He nodded politely and respectfully to Zuo Hancheng before turning around and walking out of the ward. After the door of the ward was closed again, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows tiredly. It was only then that he realized that Anhao had been strangely quiet since she came back. He turned to look at her and saw that the girl was sitting on the hospital bed with her back facing him. Her back was twitching as if she was crying. Not only was she crying, but she was also constantly stuffing the colorful candy cake in the exquisite small box into her mouth. Anhao was quietly crying as she ate the candy cream. When she reached out to touch the last piece of candy cake in the box, she felt empty air. She immediately turned around with red eyes and was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng walking behind her from the hospital bed. Seeing the last piece of pink candy cake in his hand, Anhao forgot to wipe her tears and quickly said,¡±¡±The doctor said you can¡¯t get out of bed¡­¡¯ ¡°I just want to know how disgusting this thing is to make you cry like this.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and took a bite under Anhao¡¯s shocked gaze. However, he only took a bite before he frowned and commented indifferently, ¡®¡±¡®Too sweet.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She thought that he would throw away the rest, but he frowned and swallowed the sweet cake. Finally, under Anhao¡¯s stunned gaze, he slowly sat down on her bed. ¡°Why are you still eating it when it¡¯s so sweet?¡± Anhao sniffed and raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not intend to help her wipe her snot and tears. He also did not intend to ask her why she was crying. He just smiled faintly and said, ¡®¡±¡®1¡¯11 see if I can empathize with you and cry with you after eating this.¡± Anhao suddenly burst out in laughter. She took the tissues from the bedside and started to pull them out one by one to wipe her tears. As she wiped, she said, ¡°Who told you that I was eating candy until I cried?¡± ¡°Well, you¡¯re crying for the person who brought the candy cake.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Anhao froze in the middle of wiping her tears. She suddenly looked up at him and saw that his eyes and expression were indifferent. His whole person was indifferent as if he knew everything, but also as if he didn¡¯t know anything. She put down the paper in her hand. How do you know?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you look at the food box before eating?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the empty box on her bed. There was a row of small words in the corner: ¡± A City A¡¯s Yi Group ¡°s food company, Lan Ming Mansion¡¯s distribution shop.¡± Anhao was shocked. She then lowered her head to look at the extra line of words on the familiar little food box. She had never seen this line of words when she was young. She knew that the Yi family¡¯s company had a food classification, but when did they acquire such a famous candy shop? A distribution shop? Did that mean that this delicious candy shop had already become a national chain? She hadn¡¯t noticed it at all. Just as she was in a daze, Zuo Hancheng said,¡± Lanming Residences is a property that the Yi family has invested in in recent years. Yi Zeyang lives there. So, do you need me to ask who you are crying for?¡±¡± Anhao looked up at him as if she had seen a ghost and said aggrievedly, ¡°¡±Can¡¯t I cry a little?¡± ¡°Sure, of course I can.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a half-smile.¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo is crying for another man in front of me. Should I applaud or send you to him?¡± Anhao was rendered speechless by his taunting words. She only raised her hand to wipe her snot and tears and rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.¡±l didn¡¯t want to cry in front of you. Can¡¯t I be sentimental for a while? You¡¯re being too nosy.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, this is the first time and also the last time.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted. You should know the consequences of crying for another man in front of me.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± I¡¯m not a crybaby. It¡¯s fine that you caught me crying once, but how could there be a next time? You don¡¯t have to stare at me like that.¡± ¡°Wrong, this is a warning..¡± Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (4) Chapter 219: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Wrong, this is a warning.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he raised his hand to caress her slightly damp face when she was staring at him in grievance. His warm fingers brushed across her cheek and he said softly,¡±¡±l¡¯ll give you a chance to explain. Why did you cry when you ate the candy cake he sent?¡± Anhao was stunned. She sniffled and did not say anything. When Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her as if he was warning and threatening her, she raised her hand and pushed his hand away.¡±Aiya, I¡¯m crying because I feel wronged after eating something that¡¯s about to expire.¡± Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment and his eyes immediately fell on the shelf life beside the box. He glanced at it and did not say anything, but it was obvious that he did not believe it. Anyway, Anhao would never explain. She couldn¡¯t possibly tell him that she was heartbroken and upset when she thought about how Yi Zeyang had been loitering around downstairs for a few days without coming up. However, when she thought about how she liked Zuo Hancheng more and more, she couldn¡¯t get in touch with Yi Zeyang even if she felt uncomfortable. She couldn¡¯t bring herself to say these sentimental and crazy reasons. When Anhao refused to say anything, Zuo Hancheng sighed faintly and said,¡±¡® I only gave you one chance to hide it, but I actually indulged you so much. Perhaps you need to take some medicine.¡± As he spoke, he stood up. Anhao quickly raised her head and asked,¡±¡±Where are you going?¡± ¡°To take medicine? What else did I think I could do?¡± Anhao was shocked, but she saw him walk back to his bed and pick up the medicine she had just brought back from the nurse¡¯s duty room. She heaved a sigh of relief and looked at him with a grumbling expression. ¡°You stole my last piece of candy cake and you¡¯re still making sarcastic remarks.¡± As she spoke, she got out of bed and walked over to pour him a glass of water. Just as Zuo Hancheng was taking his medicine, she turned around and picked up his phone.¡±Your company has been quite humane recently. They know that you¡¯re injured in the hospital and can¡¯t handle things, but there aren¡¯t so many calls to disturb you anymore. At most, Lin Qing would bring something over to show you personally. It seemed like they knew that their boss was human too.¡± As she mumbled to herself, she put down her phone. Suddenly, the phone vibrated in her hand, giving her a fright. She lowered her head and looked at the number on the screen. It was from the United States. The string of numbers looked a little familiar, but she could not remember where it came from. She raised her phone.¡± Zuo Hancheng was taking his medicine, and he had to mix several types of medicine together. He held the cup in his hand and did not answer the phone. When Anhao raised the phone in front of him, he glanced at the number and said, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s from America. ¡°Who cares who it is? Answer it¡­ ¡°It might be Zuo Yue. You take it.¡± Zuo Hancheng took a sip of water after he finished speaking. Anhao was stunned. She lowered her head to look at the string of numbers and realized that this number was the landline of the Zuo family¡¯s residence in the United States. This was probably the number she had received a call from Mrs. Zuo last time. As she thought about it, she picked up the phone and put it to her ear. Just as she was about to speak, a scolding voice suddenly came from the other end.¡±Han Cheng, when are you coming back? If Zuo Yue hadn¡¯t mentioned your marriage when she got home, I wouldn¡¯t have known that you were married!¡± Anhao was so shocked by the angry voice on the other end of the phone that she almost dropped her phone. She looked up at Zuo Hancheng, who had also heard the voice on the other end of the phone. ¡°When did you get married? Why didn¡¯t she tell her family about her marriage? Which family did he marry? When do you want a child? Speak! Don¡¯t think that you can get away with it by not saying anything! You haven¡¯t been home for five years. Now that you¡¯re married, bring your men back to America immediately! ¡± There was actually someone who dared to speak to Zuo Hancheng in such a manner. Anhao¡¯s ears were already ringing from the loud roar. She moved the phone away from her ear and looked at him. She raised her finger and pointed at the phone again.¡±Who is this?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be aware that he was being scolded. He continued to drink his water calmly. After cursing a few more times on the other end of the phone, he put down his glass and said softly, ¡°¡±01d Master.¡± Old Master? Anhao was stunned for a moment. Could this be the grandfather that Zuo Yue had mentioned? Just as she thought of this, the other side of the phone started scolding again, ¡°Hancheng, let me tell you, don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t catch you just because I¡¯m old. I can still take a plane to find you when I¡¯m over 80 years old. Speak!¡± It was indeed his grandfather! Anhao was so frightened that she quickly stuffed the phone into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands and muttered,¡¯¡±¡®Answer it yourself!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and sighed as he picked up the phone and placed it beside his ear.¡±¡±The original plan was to go back this week, but there have been some changes recently. I suffered some minor injuries, so I might have to go back after my injuries recover.¡± ¡°Injured?¡± Old Master Zuo paused for a moment and continued,¡±¡±Will you die?¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed, ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Anhao¡¯s hair stood on end. What kind of weirdos were the Zuo family? The old master was too direct! ¡°If you won¡¯t die, then recover as soon as possible and come back! Oh right, don¡¯t forget to bring my granddaughter-in-law back. It¡¯s best if you bring your great-grandson back with you.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao¡¯s flat belly. Anhao was so frightened that she rolled around on the bed and wrapped herself in the blanket. She glared at him with a red face. ¡°Granddaughter-in-law is fine, but I¡¯m afraid great-grandson can¡¯t satisfy you for the time being.¡± Why can¡¯t I be satisfied? Zuo Yue said that you two have been married for a few months!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. He sighed and smiled but did not explain. He only said,¡±¡±l really can¡¯t do it within a month. I¡¯ll try my best.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Anhao¡¯s pillow on the bed had already smashed towards him. Even though he was injured, Zuo Hancheng still managed to dodge it nimbly. At the same time, he caught the pillow and threw it back at Anhao¡¯s face. Anhao was hit lightly by the soft pillow, but she immediately fell onto the bed. She buried her head in the blanket and kept hitting the bed with her head. ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s see how long you can go as soon as possible. No matter how long I live, I won¡¯t be able to live for many years. If I don¡¯t have a great-grandson by the time I die, I won¡¯t let you off even if I become a ghost!¡±After saying that, Old Master Zuo hung up the phone. Anhao regretted it. She didn¡¯t want to go to America anymore. She didn¡¯t want to go on a vacation. She should go to Shengling Group to work as an intern. However, both of them were hospitalized now. Zuo Hancheng would take her to America for a ¡®vacation¡¯ a month after he recovered. She probably did not have the time or opportunity to do an internship now. Anhao buried herself in the blanket and sighed. She did not hear that Zuo Hancheng had already hung up the phone. ¡°You¡¯re the first person to suffocate to death in the hospital.¡± Suddenly, she heard Zuo Hancheng talking beside her bed. Anhao pulled her head out of the blanket and looked up at him..¡±l choose not to go to America! I¡¯m studying at home! Tutoring seriously! I guarantee that I¡¯ll get first place in all kinds of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the college entrance examination! I swear on my head!¡± Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (5) Chapter 220: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (5) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng scoffed.¡± It¡¯s useless even if you swear on your head. Zuo Yue, that girl, has revealed everything about you to the old man. If I don¡¯t bring you back next month, I¡¯ll be the first to die.¡¯ Anhao looked at him with an aggrieved expression and fell onto the bed weakly.¡±¡±Call the nurse. I think I have a fever. My head hurts. Cough cough¡­l still have a cough¡­l might still have some hidden illness that I haven¡¯t found out yet. I won¡¯t be able to take a plane for the next six months¡­¡± As she was acting fervently, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and turned to leave silently. Anhao laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling sullenly. She then looked down at her stomach and covered her head with the blanket as she cried. At night, the doctor is on duty in the room. Anhao couldn¡¯t fall asleep at night, and she was even more restless because Zuo Hancheng said that he was going to take her to America. She took advantage of the fact that Zuo Hancheng had fallen asleep after taking his medicine to quietly run out of the ward to ask the doctor about how long it would take for Zuo Hancheng to be discharged from the hospital. However, just as he reached the doctor¡¯s duty, he saw a male doctor in his thirties sitting at the desk inside. He wore glasses and looked gentle. Anhao couldn¡¯t help but peek inside from outside the door. She turned around and grabbed a young nurse who was passing by.¡±Has the doctor in your on-call room changed? The face of the person inside was so unfamiliar!¡± The young nurse glanced at her. She did not have a good impression of this young lady who had been freeloading in the hospital recently. Of course, the reason why she did not have a good impression of her was that as long as she was in the ward, the young nurses would not have the chance to spend more time with Mr. Zuo. Mr. Zuo was so good-looking and charming. Why would there be such a young kid beside him? Moreover, he didn¡¯t even look like an intern nurse. ¡°Recently, there¡¯s been a group of doctors and nurses transferred from other provinces in the hospital, including attending doctors and nurses. The doctor inside is the new department doctor. It¡¯s already eleven o¡¯clock in the morning.¡± After saying that, the nurse ignored her and left. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She was puzzled by the nurse¡¯s attitude. She turned to look at the doctor on duty and knocked on the open door before walking in. The doctor on duty turned to look at the young girl in the patient¡¯s gown. She was fair and clean, and her hair was neither long nor short. Her eyes were big, and she looked very cute in the large patient¡¯s gown. He immediately adjusted his glasses. Seeing that the doctor was staring at her when he saw her, Anhao felt strange. She walked over and was about to ask when Zuo Hancheng would be discharged and if she could extend the time. However, before she could say anything, the doctor on duty picked up the stethoscope beside her and said, ¡°Did you feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night, so you specially came over to check?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao was stunned. ¡°Come, lift up your clothes. I¡¯ll help you take a look.¡± The doctor on dutv said as he stood up and waited for her to take off her clothes. At the same time, he held the stethoscope and looked at her. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She looked at the doctor on duty¡¯s small eyes under his glasses and wanted to say,¡± Uncle, you¡¯re so perverted!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not here for a check-up. I want to ask about ward V20¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re not here for a check-up?¡± The doctor on duty obviously didn¡¯t listen to what she said. He put away the stethoscope and sat back at his desk. Then, he looked at her seriously and said,¡±Since you¡¯re not feeling unwell, don¡¯t walk around. It¡¯s so late at night, and the hospital can¡¯t prove how safe it is. Although there are security facilities outside the ward, there have been serious medical disputes in recent years. A beautiful young lady like you shouldn¡¯t easily walk out of the ward in the middle of the night¡­¡± Listening to the lecture of this uncle who was in his thirties but had a mental age of about fifty, Anhao almost forgot her original intention of coming here. She only looked at him inexplicably and stood up in a mess as she was about to walk out of the duty room. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± The doctor on duty suddenly called out to her. Anhao was so shocked by this uncle that she didn¡¯t know what to say. When she heard his voice, she turned around and looked at him. The doctor on duty pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.¡±What illness did you get hospitalized for?¡± Was this a question that a doctor should ask? Shouldn¡¯t he have the medical records of every patient on this floor? Could this doctor be an intern? Anhao looked at him speechlessly.¡± I¡¯m not sick. I just had some problems with my cervical spine not long ago. I was hit by something these two days. ¡®¡±¡® The doctor pushed his glasses up his nose again.¡±Well, you look good and don¡¯t look sick. That¡¯s good. By the way, my surname is Zhang. You can call me Doctor Zhang. If you have any questions in the future, you can look for me.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao looked at the doctor on duty with a blank expression, but her heart was filled with coldness. She thought that this boring topic was over and was about to turn around to leave when she was suddenly stopped. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao finally understood that she seemed to have been hit on by a doctor who looked like a pervert. What would happen if Zuo Hancheng found out about this? She turned back to glance at him and saw that the doctor was very interested in her. From time to time, he would push his glasses up to show his refined aura. She chuckled.¡± Doctor, I wanted to ask when my husband can be discharged, but it¡¯s obvious that you didn¡¯t take over the medical records and cases in my husband¡¯s ward. I might have found the wrong person.¡¯¡±¡® Under Doctor Zhang¡¯s surprised expression, she turned around and left. At the same time, she muttered, ¡°You¡¯re only an intern at such an old age, and you¡¯re so despicable. Is the medical standard of this hospital as good as the rumors ¡°What did you say?¡± Doctor Zhang suddenly stood up and walked out. Anhao quickly walked out of the on-call room and ran to the safe zone without looking back. She had originally wanted to ask when Zuo Hancheng would be discharged from the hospital, but who would have thought that she would meet a perverted bespectacled man in the on-call room in the middle of the night? She was really scared out of her wits! The doctors and nurses in this hospital were all a mess. Although the doctors were highly skilled, they did not like to talk to people. The nurses were also infatuated with Zuo Hancheng. Initially, Anhao wanted to extend Zuo Hancheng¡¯s stay in the hospital, but now she felt that it was better to leave the hospital as soon as possible! She really didn¡¯t want to stay in this damn place for another day! When she returned to the ward, Anhao collapsed on the bed and covered herself with the blanket to sleep.. Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (6) Chapter 221: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (6) Translator: 549690339 In her dream, the figures of the Zuo family surged towards her and surrounded her. Suddenly, Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi¡¯s heads popped out of the room. They were holding vases in their hands and were about to smash her with them. The scene turned into the Gu family¡¯s courtyard in an instant. The past life and encounters that she was no longer willing to face were all swept over her. Anhao felt that she couldn¡¯t breathe. She opened her eyes abruptly and realized that the reason she couldn¡¯t breathe was because she had been sleeping with the blanket over her. When she lifted the blanket, she saw that the sky was already bright. Although it was just after dawn, the nightmare that night really made her want to go back to the Gu family and beat someone up. Damn it, the Gu family had really become a shadow in her heart. Her family was involved in every nightmare! In fact, the reason why she was afraid of meeting the Zuo family was because she had no concept of the word ¡®family¡¯. Her impression of home was that of the Yi family when she was young. Even though Yi Zeyang accompanied her and Uncle Yi treated her politely, it was not a real home. In the end, those so-called beautiful memories of her childhood had become a nightmare of being chased away. After that, it was the Gu family, a complete nightmare and a complete abyss. Anhao did not have any feelings for the word ¡®family¡¯. She was afraid that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s family would not like her, and she was afraid that those who were still strangers to her would hate her. She was not afraid of Rong Xue or the outside world, but the word ¡®home¡¯ was a deep-rooted curse for her. She was afraid of touching a strange environment and was afraid of being hated and making others unhappy. However, Zuo Hancheng said that he would bring her back to the Zuo family. Zuo Yue¡¯s personality was obviously different from the messy scenes in her dreams that were derived from fear. Would Zuo Hancheng¡¯s parents like her? Anhao sat on the bed with one hand supporting her chin. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was showing signs of waking up. She didn¡¯t want him to know that she had nightmares in the middle of the night because she was going to the Zuo family. He would laugh at her to death! This man¡¯s venomous tongue was very deadly! Anhao hurriedly got out of bed and ran out of the door. She was just about to go out for a walk and buy some food from the restaurant downstairs of the hospital. After all, she was really tired of eating breakfast in the hospital recently. Just as she was about to reach the elevator, a huge medical equipment was suddenly pushed out from the corner of the corridor. Anhao walked very quickly and didn¡¯t notice it, so she crashed into it. The mirror on the equipment shook twice because of the impact. Two doctors and a few nurses who were pushing the equipment came out from behind the equipment. When they saw Gu Anhao, they quickly looked at the equipment in front of them. Anhao looked at the huge medical equipment in front of her with some bafflement.¡±¡±This thing is so dark. It was suddenly pushed out by you guys. I didn¡¯t see it for a moment and bumped into it.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, a doctor walked out from the consultation room beside her. Anhao immediately felt that she was going to suffer when she met his gaze. Sure enough, Doctor Zhang, who was still in the on-call room last night, had been ridiculed by a young lady for some reason after working overnight. Now, he came out with big dark circles under his eyes. When he saw her, he immediately said angrily, ¡°This is a new spiral CT scan! If this kind of medical equipment is damaged, you won¡¯t be able to afford it even if you sell yourself!¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. Did this perverted uncle¡¯s attitude change so much? Didn¡¯t she just tell him that she had a husband? Didn¡¯t she just say that he was a pervert? Besides, she was telling the truth! It was perverted to begin with! In the middle of the night, flirting with young female patients, this has risen to professional ethics, good, not good! ¡°How expensive is it?¡± She only mumbled to herself,¡± I haven¡¯t even said that you guys suddenly pushed such a huge thing out of the corner of the corridor and hit me. You guys are pushing the blame onto me first?¡± Shouldn¡¯t this kind of thing be installed by professionals? You guys pushed it out from the inside, and just because I bumped into it, you said that it was damaged by me?¡± She didn¡¯t believe that the mirror on the equipment would shake just like that. There must be something fishy going on. The doctors and nurses behind her all knew Anhao and knew that she was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s man. Even though they did not have a good impression of this little girl who was always jumping around in the hospital, they did not dare to make a sound. On the other hand, the new doctor, Doctor Zhang, was filled with anger when he saw Anhao. Seeing how arrogant she was, he immediately reprimanded you know that if you break this equipment, you have to compensate the hospital with at least two million RMB!¡± Two million? RMB? Anhao looked at the huge instrument in front of her in disbelief.¡±¡±Do you have to be so exaggerated?¡± ¡°Heh, didn¡¯t you say that you have a husband? Now, you basically owe our hospital two million RMB. A young lady like you is really a scourge. Whoever marries a woman like you is unfortunate!¡± As soon as Doctor Zhang finished speaking, the nurses and doctors beside him all hid their expressions and did not participate in the discussion. When they saw the door of the ward not far behind Anhao open, they all turned their heads and pretended that they had nothing to do with this matter. This little ancestor in front of him was Mr. Zuo¡¯s man, and Doctor Zhang was courting death early in the morning. Who could stop him? Anhao raised her eyebrows when she saw the doctors and nurses ¡®indifferent and serious expressions. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had woken up at some point. He seemed to have heard the noise and walked out of the ward. ¡°What happened?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked closer and saw Anhao, who looked like she had been scolded for a long time and was holding back her anger. Anhao shrugged her shoulders and pointed at the large medical equipment in front of her. ¡°They said that I damaged this thing and wanted me to pay them two million yuan.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Doctor Zhang glanced at Zuo Hancheng indifferently, trying to guess the relationship between the man and the young lady. The doctors and nurses beside him were so scared that they did not even dare to make a sound. One of them suddenly said, ¡°It wasn¡¯t us. We said that Miss Gu was the one who broke the device.¡± ¡°Yes, we didn¡¯t mention Miss Gu. Miss Gu suddenly ran over from the side and we didn¡¯t see her. We accidentally bumped into Miss Gu. We¡¯re really sorry, but we didn¡¯t expect Doctor Zhang to¡­Why would she say that about Miss Gu¡­¡± When Doctor Zhang heard their conversation, he looked at Zuo Hancheng with a blank expression. It was as if he had just realized that even though this man was wearing a hospital gown, his aura was unusually calm and powerful. For a moment, he wondered if he had offended some big shot. ¡°Who are you? Her husband?¡± Doctor Zhang sized up Zuo Hancheng from head to toe. Zuo Hancheng glanced at him coldly and did not reply.. He looked down at Anhao and said,¡±¡±Did you get hurt?¡± Chapter 222 - Chapter 222: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (7) Chapter 222: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (7) Translator: 549690339 Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not care about Doctor Zhang at all, a few doctors and nurses at the side quickly said before Anhao could speak,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, I¡¯m really sorry. We really didn¡¯t mean to bump into Miss Gu¡­¡± ¡°She was the one who suddenly ran over and smashed our equipment. What do you mean by this?¡±Doctor Zhang turned around and looked at them with an inexplicable look in his eyes. ¡°Doctor Zhang, this is Mr. Zuo. Didn¡¯t Director Han introduce you to the recent important patients in the hospital on the day you joined? He was Zuo Hancheng, the CEO of Shengling Group.¡± One of the nurses couldn¡¯t stand the way he was courting death anymore, so she couldn¡¯t help but remind him in a very soft voice. Doctor Zhang¡¯s expression froze instantly. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and then at Gu Anhao. The corners of his mouth twitched before he smiled awkwardly.¡±So you¡¯re Mr. Zuo. I¡¯m sorry. I just joined the company not long ago and haven¡¯t seen Mr. Zuo¡¯s true face. I¡¯m really sorry for accidentally having such a conflict¡­ ¡°Why are you apologizing to me?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him indifferently and looked at Anhao beside him.¡±¡±My wife said that you asked her for two million yuan? Just because of this damaged instrument?¡± Just as Doctor Zhang¡¯s face turned ashen, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the mirror and other parts of the instrument. He raised his hand and pressed two buttons on it. Doctor Zhang¡¯s face turned ashen when he saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s action. He raised his hand to stop Zuo Hancheng from doing the checkup, but he knew it was too late when he saw the understanding look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. The doctors and nurses beside him knew what was going on, so they did not dare to say anything. This Mr. Zuo was a patient that the hospital director had repeatedly instructed him to take good care of. He was also the number one patient that he absolutely could not offend or treat carelessly. Everyone in A City had never heard of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name. In the end, Doctor Zhang, who had just been transferred from another province, had just run into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gun. No one dared to speak up for him and could only stand aside quietly to protect themselves. After pressing the button a few times, Zuo Hancheng retracted his hand. At the same time, he looked coldly at Doctor Zhang, who had already taken off his glasses and wiped his sweat. ¡°This device had already malfunctioned before you pushed it out. The mirror equipment on it has also become loose and can no longer be activated.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao looked at the equipment in front of her in surprise. The equipment looked very new, but it had actually malfunctioned a long time ago. She immediately looked at Doctor Zhang.¡±You didn¡¯t break this equipment, did you? Taking the opportunity to push the responsibility to me?¡± ¡°No!¡± Doctor Zhang realized that he could not hide this from Zuo Hancheng, but he could not push the responsibility onto himself. He quickly explained,¡± This equipment had malfunctioned before I joined this hospital. It was just a misunderstanding just now. It was a misunderstanding. I¡¯m sorry, Miss Gu, and I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Zuo. I didn¡¯t see it clearly and thought that the mirror was hit by Miss Gu¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze. He swallowed the last sentence that he wanted to give himself a way out. He could only smile awkwardly at them, but he knew that his situation was already on the verge of being dismissed, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead. ¡°Two million, hehe.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled indifferently. He raised his hand and took down the mirror that was not damaged by Anhao. He then placed it in Anhao¡¯s hand. When Anhao received it, the heavy object dropped on her head. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng in confusion. He looked at Doctor Zhang coldly and said in a deep voice, ¡°Not to mention this malfunctioning equipment, all the latest medical equipment in this hospital was imported from abroad by Sheng Ling. Whether it¡¯s two million or five million, I¡¯ll decide the price. You¡¯ve already given my wife such a fright so early in the morning. Are you sure you want to continue this topic?¡± It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng was already very dissatisfied and impatient with the person in front of him. A few doctors beside him quickly pulled Doctor Zhang back and repeatedly nodded and apologized to Zuo Hancheng. Even so, they knew that Doctor Zhang would not be able to stay in the hospital any longer. He would probably be fired before noon. Moreover, if they raised the price of the medical equipment because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dissatisfaction, then all of them would suffer together with the hospital. The hospital director and chief physician would definitely strangle them to death! The provincial medical center would definitely be involved, and everyone would not have an easy time! When Doctor Zhang was dragged away, Anhao saw the doctors running for their lives. She looked down at the mirror equipment in her hand speechlessly. ¡°Why are you giving this to me?¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t you bored in the ward? Take it back and use it as a magnifying glass.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She was going to use two million yuan as a magnifying glass. Did her husband have to be so rich? Was he supporting her? Although she looked surprised, Anhao felt sweet inside. This feeling was actually quite good¡­ When the two of them returned to the ward, she knew that although Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, Doctor Zhang would definitely not be able to survive in the medical field in the future. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s solution to any problem was very reliable, so she could not be bothered to care about the results of others. After all, everyone had their own consequences. Any adult had to pay the price for their actions. There was nothing worth asking. However, the thing in his hand was really heavy! When they reached the door of the ward, Zuo Hancheng asked,¡±¡±Are you full of black-summoning bodies or something? You can offend people in the hospital?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice that Doctor Zhang looked like a pervert? He thought he was a gentleman, but he was actually a pervert.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡±Last night, I was teased by him when I passed by his duty room. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know my personality. The person who dared to tease me hasn¡¯t been born yet. I definitely won¡¯t let him take advantage of me. After mocking him for a while, I left. Who knew that I would suddenly bump into the equipment they pushed out this morning?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not show any signs of jealousy or dissatisfaction when Anhao said that she was being teased. Instead, he looked at her up and down with a serious look of suspicion. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Anhao was frightened by his scrutiny and took a step back. ¡°Teasing you?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I saw that the thickness of his glasses is 800 degrees. It seems that he needs to strengthen the degree.¡± Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (8) Chapter 223: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (8) Translator: 549690339 Anhao suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back as he walked straight into the ward. It took her two seconds to realize what he meant, and she immediately walked in quickly.¡±Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, how can you bully your wife like this?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Maybe it¡¯s not a bad thing to let you keep your hair short.¡± Anhao really didn¡¯t understand this time. Wasn¡¯t he the one who asked him to grow his hair long? Wasn¡¯t he the one who wanted her to change from a rebellious girl to an obedient girl? Now, he actually went back on his word and suddenly felt that it wasn¡¯t a bad thing for her to have short hair? Was this man on his period? One moment he was like this, the next moment he was like that. Did he really think that she was a ball of dough that he could rub at will or something? In the afternoon. It was said that Doctor Zhang had already left the hospital. Well, it was just a rumor. After all, Anhao would not hear anything about the things that Zuo Hancheng had personally resolved. He would only tell her that ¡± it has been resolved ¡® when she was pestering him with questions, and then let her guess the various punishments and abuse that he had suffered before he left the hospital. Although Zuo Hancheng was a man who did things quietly, he would often make everyone who provoked him realize how big of a mistake they had made. Anhao did not sleep well last night because she had a nightmare. In the afternoon, when a certain director of the hospital came in to apologize to Zuo Hancheng, she fell asleep in bed. This time, her dream was no longer one of those scary dreams. Instead, it was Zuo Hancheng holding her hand and bringing her to the suburbs for a vacation. It was a sunny day, and Zuo Hancheng suddenly parked his car on the lawn, saying that he wanted to have a barbecue there. Anhao excitedly took out all kinds of food from the car and prepared to have a barbecue together. When she turned around, she saw Zuo Hancheng set up the barbecue rack on the lawn. Then, he suddenly took out a huge mirror equipment from the car and placed it on the rack. The sun shone through the giant magnifying glass as the main tool for barbecuing. Anhao was jolted awake by this dream. When she opened her eyes and saw that she was still sleeping in the ward, she turned over and continued to sleep. She had completely forgotten what night it was. However, when she turned around, she saw the huge ¡± magnifying glass ¡± on the bedside cabinet and couldn¡¯t help but pout. She felt that Zuo Hancheng was crazy. Why did he ask her to bring this thing back? If such a broken thing was really worth two million yuan, she would definitely sell it after she was discharged from the hospital. Anhao fell asleep again without realizing it. She had no idea that there was anorner person m cne wara. Wenner was beside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bed. He turned around and saw Anhao talking in her sleep before turning around to continue sleeping. He could not help but laugh.¡±l don¡¯t know if I should say that this girl is too big-hearted or too indifferent to everything. The director of this hospital has already been alarmed. He has already come twice to personally apologize to her on behalf of that doctor.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t let them in so that they wouldn¡¯t disturb her rest.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Wenner laughed.¡± You protected her too well.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything at first. Then, he turned to look at Anhao, who was sleeping soundly and said in a light voice,¡±¡±lf I really protected her well enough, the two of us wouldn¡¯t be lying here.¡± ¡°I think she¡¯s very happy staying in this hospital. She treats this place like a holiday resort. ¡°Wenner smiled as he sat by the bed.¡±¡±l¡¯ve checked the Yi Group¡¯s recent movements and direction. They¡¯re in close contact with the Qi family, so I can¡¯t see anything suspicious for the time being.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything when he heard that. He turned to look at Anhao, who was still sleeping soundly. Wenner continued,¡± However, I coincidentally found out some things about the United States. Five years ago, Yi Zeyang went abroad to New York and Los Angeles to investigate some people and information. I suspect that it has something to do with Anhao. However, Yi Zeyang did it very discreetly. After so many years, there¡¯s no record of his whereabouts when he was young. For the time being, we don¡¯t know what he was doing back then.¡± ¡°Anhao? America?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Wenner. Wenner shrugged.¡± I don¡¯t know if I should share with you some information that isn¡¯t too real for the time being. I suspect that Anhao isn¡¯t Gu Tianming¡¯s daughter, but the details and information have been cut off. I¡¯m afraid it will take time to find out. As soon as he finished speaking, Anhao suddenly turned over and faced them. She smacked her lips twice in her sleep, looking like she had a good dream. Zuo Hancheng, Wei Yu, and Wenner did not say anything else. The two of them looked at each other in silence and did not continue to talk about this matter. The light in the ward fell on Anhao¡¯s face. When she was asleep, she turned her body over and her head was tilted. Her fair skin was crystal clear under the light. After confirming that Anhao was still asleep, Wenner looked at Zuo Hancheng and said softly,¡±¡±Do you need me to continue investigating?¡± Zuo Hancheng was silent for a moment before he said softly,¡±¡±lnvestigate.¡± Two days later, the wound on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder had scabbed over and he no longer needed to stop the bleeding. However, there were still many things that needed to be paid attention to. Anhao was really bored. After all, she had already recovered a long time ago. She took advantage of the bright sunshine outside and put on her coat to go for a walk in the garden behind the hospital. Although it was winter, she was in a good mood looking at the snow hanging on the trees. There were two young girls who came to the hospital for a physical examination. They seemed to be impatient from waiting in line. They ran out to eat their lunch boxes on the bench in the park behind them and chatted while eating. ¡°Don¡¯t you like Alice a lot? I heard that she came to China recently and even took on a few domestic idol dramas. ¡°Of course I know about my goddess¡¯s movements. I¡¯ve long heard about it. However, why would an international superstar like her sign with a second-tier company like Tiansheng? Isn¡¯t Yi Xing more suitable for her?¡± ¡°Who knows? Those entertainment companies definitely have shady dealings. Tiansheng isn¡¯t bad either. In recent years, they¡¯ve produced quite a number of popular celebrities. There are also a few from Korea who signed contracts with Tiansheng in the mainland.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. I reckon that as long as Alice enters Tiansheng, she¡¯ll be able to outshine Yi Xing in no time. A goddess like her who¡¯s destined to shine everywhere doesn¡¯t need the protection of a first-tier company. Wherever she is, there will be a first-tier entertainment company, haha Anhao turned around and went back to the hospital building. When she was about to go upstairs, she suddenly saw Rongxue waiting for the elevator on the first floor. Although she was wearing a mask, Anhao recognized her with her woman¡¯s intuition. There was even a tall foreign man standing beside him. He should be a bodyguard, right? The news of her return to the country had already spread. It was getting more and more inconvenient for her to travel recently, so even her bodyguards were by her side. On the other hand, she scanned her surroundings. She was wearing a hospital gown but did not have any illness. The doctors and nurses walked past her without even greeting her. Tsk tsk, the gap, the gap.. Chapter 224 - Chapter 224: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (9) Chapter 224: Her Husband Is Too Black-bellied (9) Translator: 549690339 Anhao sighed and walked over. She had planned to enter the elevator after Rongxue and the others had gone upstairs, so that they would not be unhappy when they saw each other. However, just as she was about to turn around and lean against the wall to wait for a while, she suddenly met Rongxue¡¯s gaze when she turned around. As soon as their eyes met, Rong Xue¡¯s cold gaze fell on the patient¡¯s gown on her body, as if she was very dissatisfied and disliked why she was still in the hospital. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t avoid it, Anhao could only raise her eyebrows and raise her hand to greet her politely. Again, Rong Xue¡¯s cold gaze lowered her hand and turned around to walk directly to the side. At this time, the elevator stopped at the first floor. When they arrived at the floor where the ward was located, Anhao coincidentally bumped into Rong Xue, who was walking out of another elevator at the same time. The moment their eyes met again, Anhao only pulled her coat together and turned around to walk back to the ward. Seeing Anhao walk straight into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward, Rong Xue slowly stopped in her tracks. When the door was closed, Anhao had already walked in. Rong Xue¡¯s eyes gradually showed signs of hurt. ¡°Miss Rong, you don¡¯t have to worry too much. This kind of young and inexperienced girl won¡¯t suit Mr. Zuo¡¯s taste at all. The law of hormonal attraction between men and women is inevitable, but it won¡¯t last long. A man like Mr. Zuo will definitely not have such an ordinary marriage.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Rong Xue looked at the door coldly and calmly.¡±¡± Hancheng doesn¡¯t seem to be a person who would do anything against his will under the influence of hormones. Besides, his self-control has always been strong. Before this, I was sure that he didn¡¯t really love Gu Anhao, but now, I¡¯m not so sure¡­¡± The foreign man standing beside Rong Xue smiled faintly.¡±¡±Miss Rong, aren¡¯t women in love always a little slow? Your observation skills need to be improved. ¡± As he spoke, the man took out an English form from many years ago and handed it to Rong Xue.¡±¡±Miss Rong, look. This photo is of you from six or seven years ago. At that time, you were in love with Mr. Zuo.¡± Rong Xue looked at herself in the photo in confusion. That was how she looked before she entered Hollywood. At that time, she was still the same as before. She did not make any adjustments to her face and body according to the company¡¯s requirements. She looked so natural. Now, because she often had various cosmetic injections and facial adjustments, although she did not lose her original appearance, her face was much sharper than before. Her plain appearance gradually turned into her current beauty. Although it was another kind of beauty, it made her feel unfamiliar with herself in this photo. She stared at the photo for a long time and finally seemed to have figured out something. She slowly raised her eyes and met his gaze.¡±You mean¡­¡± ¡°Miss Rong, didn¡¯t you notice that Gu Anhao¡¯s appearance is 30 to 40% similar to yours in the past?¡± Rong Xue raised her hand and took the information sheet that was filled with English words. She looked at the photo of her past self carefully. and the corners of her mouth gradually curled up into a happy smile. However, that joy was only temporary. She handed the information sheet to the man beside her and looked up at the ward in front of her. She walked over and knocked on the door gently. Anhao had just entered the ward, changed her clothes and sat on the bed. Zuo Hancheng was reading the report sent by the company. When she heard someone knocking on the door of the ward, Anhao glanced sideways at the direction of the door. She knew who was knocking on the door, but she did not say anything. She just turned her head to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was not disturbed by the knocking. After knocking on the door a few times, Zuo Hancheng looked up at the door of the ward. He seemed to have noticed Anhao¡¯s gaze and turned to look at her.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you going to open the door?¡± Anhao glanced at him.¡± If the person knocking on the door was your ex-girlfriend, would you still ask me to answer it?¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were calm and unchanging. She did not know if he thought what she said was true or not. After a while, he shook his head and continued to flip through the report in his hand.¡±Up to you.¡± ¡°Well, you said it. I can do whatever I want.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t give him any room to go back on his word. She turned around and walked to the door, raising her hand to lock the door from the inside. Hearing the sound of the door being locked, the person who was knocking on the door immediately stopped. Anhao turned around and clapped her hands, saying in a relaxed manner,¡¯¡±¡®Settle Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had already guessed that this girl, who had never played by the rules, would do this. He was not surprised at all, nor did he question her. He continued to read the report calmly. Initially, Anhao did not want to do such a thing. However, since she had been admitted into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward, she could not stay there for nothing. She could not let Rong Xue kiss Zuo Hancheng after she came in, and then sit on a small bench to eat melon seeds and watch the show. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll give you three seconds to change your mind.¡±¡±lf you think that I¡¯m not doing a good job, you can tell me right away. I¡¯ll open the door right now.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng turned to the next page of the report as if he had not heard her. ¡°One¡­Two¡­Three¡­¡± Anhao counted to three, but Zuo Hancheng still did not respond. She smiled and walked to his bedside. She picked up the fruit plate beside him in a good mood and cut the fruit into small pieces before feeding it to him.¡±Come, come, open your mouth ¡°I¡¯m reading the report. Eat it yourself.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and smiled. Oh, it seemed that he really didn¡¯t feel guilty towards the person outside the door at all. The person had already run outside the door, but he had stubbornly locked the door. He actually didn¡¯t blame him for being insensible. Anhao had no choice but to put the fruit into her mouth. She chewed and said, ¡°¡±You ignored me for a few days and went to S City without saying a word. Was it Yixing who invited you over to talk about signing Miss Rong?¡± ¡°What?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± I just couldn¡¯t figure out why you were so cold and distant all of a sudden. Now, I understand a little. After I asked you that question, you said that you needed to settle some matters. Was it to settle Miss Rong¡¯s matter?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her but looked at her.¡±¡±lt¡¯s not to solve anyone, but to solve some of the remaining problems. This is only fair to you.¡± As expected, as expected, she was too paranoid at that time. ¡± What should I do, Zuo Hancheng?¡± Anhao smiled as she lifted her chin and looked at him.¡± I think you¡¯re getting better and better. You¡¯re so good that I even have the desire to cook for you.. ¡°..¡±Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± You should change your desires. I don¡¯t want to die young..¡±¡± Chapter 225 - Chapter 225: Waiting for Pleasure (1) Chapter 225: Waiting for Pleasure (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡± How boring. Haven¡¯t you heard of the poem ¡®Lovesickness simmers patiently with a gentle fire, waiting for a long time to be willing?¡¯¡± Zuo Hancheng then closed the report in his hand and looked at her seriously.¡±¡±So you¡¯re confessing to me?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t answer, but said with a smile,¡±¡±Do you feel that my overall quality has improved recently? I can recite a poem casually now.¡± ¡± Also, I think that line like ¡®I have the desire to cook for you¡¯ can be the best confession line of the year, hahaha¡­¡± ¡°So it¡¯s a confession,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him, picked up a piece of fruit from the fruit plate and put it in front of his mouth. Zuo Hancheng smiled and finally ate a piece for her. Outside the ward- After Rong Xue heard the sound of the door being locked, she put down her hand and stood outside the door, looking at the door in front of her. ¡°Miss Rong, do you want to ask the nurse to get the key to open the door¡­¡± ¡°No need.¡± Rong Xue said softly as she picked up her phone and sent a message to Zuo Hancheng. After sending the message, he turned around and left the hospital. Anhao kept stuffing fruits into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth and even deliberately stuffed all kinds of especially sweet things into his mouth. When she heard his phone ring, she thought it was some kind of advertising and marketing junk message. However, she turned around and raised her eyebrows at the words displayed on the screen. ¡® Han Cheng, since it¡¯s inconvenient for you, I won¡¯t go in to see you. Recuperate well and rest more. Don¡¯t let yourself be so busy. I¡¯ve already signed the contract with Tiansheng and bought a house in A City. I¡¯ll let you see the changes and hard work I¡¯ve put in over the past five years. Please give us a chance to redeem ourselves on account of our past relationship. I¡¯ll be fine. Don¡¯t worry. Don¡¯t read, don¡¯t read, Rong Xue must be very sure that Zuo Hancheng still loved her to speak in such a tone. It felt as if Rong Xue was a mature and genuine wife. Because of her husband¡¯s momentary infatuation outside, she had fallen in love with another young girl. She was putting on a show to make herself more and more outstanding and powerful, quietly waiting for her lover to go back on his word. Anhao looked at the message and picked up his phone. She then looked up at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng looked at her and smiled.¡¯¡±¡®What did you see this time?¡± ¡°Can I use your phone to reply to an international superstar?¡±Anhao said meaningfully. However, no matter how meaningful her words were, Zuo Hancheng obviously understood it in seconds. He saw the phone in her hand and did not have the intention to take it to read the content of the message. He only whispered, ¡°¡±Sure, but I seem to have indulged you too much recently. Shouldn¡¯t you pay the price?¡± ¡°What price?¡± Anhao was confused. Zuo Hancheng glanced at his bed.¡±¡±Don¡¯t sleep in separate beds tonight. Come and sleep together?¡± ¡°Is this the price?¡± Anhao clicked her tongue. She had thought that he wanted her to do something, but it turned out that he wanted her to sleep in the same bed. It wasn¡¯t like they hadn¡¯t slept together before. Moreover, he was injured. Even if he had the guts to do something, he probably couldn¡¯t do anything. Anhao raised her hand and made an OK gesture. As Zuo Hancheng nodded his approval, she took his phone and returned to her bed. She stared at the few lines on the screen and thought about how to reply. After about twenty minutes, Anhao still hadn¡¯t thought of how to reply when another message came in. It was still from Rong Xue. The content was: ¡± Ten days later is the premiere of mv new Hollywood film from half a year ago. Your injury shouldn¡¯t affect the movie. Do you want to go and watch it together?¡¯ After reading the message, Anhao searched for the movie Rong Xue mentioned online. Only then did she realize that she was the second female lead in the movie that had been released in the United States six months ago. Her acting skills were highly rated online. Although she was a villain, her acting skills and image were deeply rooted in people¡¯s hearts and she had gained countless fans. Her social status had soared. At that time, Anhao had received a pirated CD of the movie sent to her by Chunchun in the dormitory. The three of them had watched it together on the computer. It turned out that the movie was finally going to premiere in the country¡­ Anhao looked at the text message and copied the high-definition pirated address of the movie on the Internet and sent it to Rong Xue. She could imagine the colorful expression on Rong Xue¡¯s face when she opened the website of her reply. On the other side, Rong Xue was sitting in the car. She had just received a few important jobs in the country and was on her way to the venue. When she heard the sound of a text message, she immediately picked up her phone. In the end, she saw that the content of the message was a row of strange websites. She hesitated for a moment before clicking on the website. The moment her phone screen showed the high-definition pirated link to her high-box-office movie overseas, she slowly closed her eyes. In the next moment, she suddenly threw her phone on the leather chair in the car. Night fell. Because Anhao and Zuo Hancheng were staying in the most advanced ward in the hospital, the bathroom and washroom in the ward were simple but at least they had everything and were very clean. After taking a shower, she crawled into her bed and placed the laptop on the table between the two beds. Zuo Hancheng put the reports that he had already read aside. Seeing that she was going to wrap herself in the blanket and sleep, he took the laptop that she had thrown on the table. The computer was not turned off, and there were still a few anime websites and forums that girls her age liked to watch. After closing those websites, he opened the search engine and was about to look up some information related to recent company projects. However, when he clicked on the input bar with his mouse, he saw the recent search history displayed below. Among them was a poem that Anhao had recited when she confessed to him today. It was a minor poem that was considered an outlier. Zuo Hancheng indeed did not have much of an impression of it. He clicked on it and finally saw the whole picture of the so-called poem. He wore a bamboo hairpin and curled up his black hair. He was dressed in coarse clothes and short clothes. The gentle fire patiently cooks lovesickness, waiting for a long time to be willing. A plate of pure taste, two bowls of sentimental sigh. For you to cook delicious food, I¡¯m afraid God will know my heart. Anhao was holding her phone, Chunchun, and Huang Ah-Mao¡¯s messages on her back. These two women had gone out for an internship during the winter vacation, so she had to care about them from time to time. Just as they were chatting fervently, a corner of the blanket was suddenly lifted by someone. At the same time, the bed behind them seemed to have sunk in. She turned around abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng lying beside her. While she was still in a daze, he snatched her phone and threw it on the table. Anhao snapped back to her senses and looked at him in shock.¡±¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Have you forgotten what you promised during the day?¡±Zuo Hancheng stopped her from struggling to get up and kissed her on the lips.. Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Pleasant Waiting (2) Chapter 226: Pleasant Waiting (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Oh¡­¡± When his hand reached into her clothes, Anhao pushed him away with a red face. She heard the sound of nurses walking back and forth outside and became even more nervous. She whispered,¡±This is the ward!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a ward. Who dares to disturb us?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was a direct display of her intentions. He reached into her clothes and grabbed her waist. A warm palm caressed the muscles on her waist, causing Anhao to raise her hand to block the two of them.¡±l know that I¡¯ve never let you get what you want for so long. You¡¯ve even accommodated me every time. You can¡¯t take it anymore, but this is the hospital. It¡¯s not good¡­That¡¯s not good¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warm breath brushed across her neck and he kissed her cheek gently. His voice was clear and hoarse as he whispered into her ear, ¡°¡±1 really shouldn¡¯t have continued to give in. My pampering and indulgence of you, this little girl, has become the reason why you want to get away time and time again. I don¡¯t want you to say that you can retreat unscathed because you haven¡¯t lost your heart and body. I really should solve this problem as soon as possible.¡± Anhao raised her head and bit the uninjured side of his shoulder. She buried her head in his neck with a red face,¡±¡±Even so, we can¡¯t do it here! There¡¯s always the sound of nurses walking back and forth outside the door. There¡¯s also the sound of patients from other wards talking outside, and there¡¯s also the sound of family members¡­¡± ¡°Anhao.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her soft hair. As she nestled in his arms and carefully avoided his fiery gaze, he said softly,¡±¡±l¡¯ve been waiting for your willingness.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart pounded. Of course, she knew that Zuo Hancheng, a strong man, had never really forced her to do anything when he was with her. Firstly, he did it out of respect and love for her, and secondly, perhaps it was just as he said, he was waiting, waiting for her to be willing. Anhao¡¯s character was not something that could be controlled by an impatient man. If anyone forced her to do anything, she would only resist and retreat even more. She would never be like this, inexplicably giving her heart bit by bit. ¡°You¡¯ve endured it for so long. Do you still need a few more days? Besides, you¡¯re still injured. You can¡¯t¡­You can¡¯t do strenuous exercise¡­¡± When she said this, her voice was soft and her face was hot. She buried her face in front of his chest.¡±lt won¡¯t be too late for me to be willing after you recover¡­¡± Suddenly, the man¡¯s pleasant and hoarse laughter came from above her head. The moment Anhao raised her head, he kissed her lightly between her eyebrows.¡±How much longer?¡± ¡°I already said that after you recover¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, there was another knock on the ward door. The two of them looked at each other in the dark. Anhao immediately raised her eyebrows proudly.¡±Look at what I said. There will be doctors coming for ward rounds between nine and ten, and you said no one will come.¡± Even if Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t do anything to her tonight, he had planned to hug her to sleep. Seeing Anhao¡¯s smug expression, he could only smile and pat her head lightly. ¡°I¡¯ll let you be smug for a few more days.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and returned to his bed. Anhao covered her face with the blanket to hide her smile, but her heart was filled with sweetness. After the doctor entered the room, he did not notice anything unusual between the two of them. He continued his routine routine of checking on the two of them, taking their body temperatures and doing a series of other tests. However, the doctor who came in every day was respectful to Zuo Hancheng, and every day, there would be a young intern doctor who came in to observe and learn from him. Anhao was already used to this kind of routine every night, but tonight, the doctor brought in two female university students who looked like they had just graduated from medical school. The moment the two young girls came in and saw Zuo Hancheng, they secretly became smitten behind the doctor. The doctor was lowering his head to take Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temperature. The two female interns were secretly peeking at Zuo Hancheng from behind. The two of them whispered,¡±¡±So handsome¡­¡± Anhao was left on the bed behind them. Seeing that their eyes were all on Zuo Hancheng, she turned over on the bed and looked at them with one hand supporting her head.¡± Doctor, I think I have a fever.¡± The doctor who came to check on Gu Anhao was very clear that there was no problem with her body. She was just a special case, so she stayed in the same ward as Mr. Zuo. When the doctor heard Anhao¡¯s words, he turned around to look at her. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, he said to the two female interns behind him, ¡®¡±¡®The two of you go and give her a simple physical examination. If she has any fever or other conditions, tell me directly.¡± The two female intern doctors had not seen enough of the handsome guy, but they did not dare to complain under the instructions of their intern tutor. They could only turn around and walk to Anhao¡¯s bedside with the thermometer in their hands. The infatuated smile on their faces had turned into a calm and professional doctor¡¯s stoic face. ¡°Come, take your temperature.¡± Tsk, could there be such a huge difference in attitude before and after? Anhao secretly sighed in her heart. It seemed that she had to take the opportunity to tell the hospital not to let female doctors come in during the ward rounds at night. She should send a few young male doctors in so that she could have a good look. This would prevent these female doctors from rolling their eyes at her every time they saw her and Zuo Hancheng staying in the same ward. Time, that fleeting moment, time, that fleeting moment. After staying in the hospital for half a month, Zuo Hancheng was allowed to leave the hospital because of his special treatment. The two senior private doctors sent by the hospital visited the Liu Jing Garden every day. There was no need to mention Anhao. A patient who was not seriously injured had been eating in the hospital for more than half a month. When she returned home, she was full of energy and took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of Zuo Hancheng. Anhao was sitting on the sofa with a thick book on cooking in her hands, and she was doing some deep research. Zuo Hancheng came out of the bedroom and saw that she had been reading the book she bought on the way home. He walked over and smiled. ¡°The doctor has arranged for a nutritionist to come over and make three meals a day. You don¡¯t have to work so hard anymore.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. When I came back, I already said that I would take care of you. I¡¯m on vacation now, so I can¡¯t just give you everything I need every day, right? Other than the three meals specially prepared by the nutritionist, you should at least have an extra meal. After all, you¡¯re a patient now.¡± Anhao said as she turned another page of the book in her hands.¡±The book says that patients who have lost too much blood should eat more things to replenish their blood. However, I¡¯ve never come into contact with this kind of medicinal cuisine before. I¡¯m afraid that there will be problems after eating it. Therefore, I can only start with the simplest, such as this¡­ Red dates¡­ Wolfberry¡­Brown sugar¡­Black chicken soup or something¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng felt that there was something wrong with her words. He glanced at the book in her hand and saw the contents of the page that she had just opened. His handsome face darkened. ¡± Gu Anhao, this is the food that women eat when they are in confinement¡­¡± Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (1) Chapter 227: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°What? Is that so?¡± Only then did Anhao look up at the headline, but she still waved her hand nonchalantly and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s okay. Anyway, it¡¯s all good for replenishing qi and blood. Who cares if it¡¯s a meal for the confinement period She flipped through a few more pages and said,¡± There are many soups that are suitable for replenishing blood. The cooking method is also simple. This way, when you go back to work in a few days, I can still send you soup every day.¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng did not stop the little girl from trying so hard to be a virtuous wife. He merely smiled and glanced at her.¡±High school students don¡¯t have homework during winter vacation?¡± Anhao¡¯s hand, which was flipping through the book, paused. She turned her eyes abruptly.¡±l have all kinds of pathological forms and injury certificates from the hospital. When school starts, I can take them to school to offset all my homework.¡± ¡°Who said that you have to be responsible for your own life in the future and that you have to work hard and tutor more?¡± Anhao closed the book unhappily.¡±¡±Tutoring is tutoring, and homework is homework. These two have different meanings.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Huang Amao, she picked up the phone and ran into the bathroom to answer it. She ran into the washroom to prevent Zuo Hancheng from lecturing her about not doing her winter vacation homework again. Five minutes later, Anhao came out of the bathroom and walked toward Zuo Hancheng with a cheeky smile. ¡°Can I go to T City for two days this Sunday?¡± Zuo Hancheng saw her giggling expression and knew that there was definitely nothing good about her wanting to go to T City. He said calmly,¡±Why are you going to T City?¡± ¡® Huang Amao has been interning in a company arranged by her relatives recently. She¡¯s been suffering every day. It¡¯s not easy for her to get two days off this weekend. She wants to go to T City to relax, but she¡¯s bored alone, so she wants me to go with her¡­¡± Anhao spoke with utmost sincerity, even though she was hiding something. That was, Huang Amao had actually gone to T City to chase after celebrities and wanted her to accompany him. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Who was the one who said that he wanted to stay at home and take care of me?¡±¡± ¡°It¡¯s only Tuesday today. There are still five or six days until Sunday. Besides, don¡¯t you have to go back to the company on Friday? You must have been busy in the company for the past few days. I took advantage of the time when you were too busy to talk to me to go out and play with my good friends. This is not too much, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡± It¡¯s not too much. You can go to T City with your friends if you want. You can go after you finish your homework.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao¡¯s eyes widened instantly. I have dozens of winter vacation simulation papers, and you want me to finish all of them?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently.¡± Besides that, tell me your destination and itinerary before you go to T City. I¡¯ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on you so that you two young ladies won¡¯t cause any trouble.¡±¡± Anhao choked and wanted to retort, but Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to refute or reject him. He turned around and went straight into the study. Ann angrily threw the book in her hand onto the sofa.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, believe it or not, I¡¯ll put a few rat poisons in your tonic soup to kill you!¡± ¡°I believe you.¡± He walked into the study room without looking back and said, ¡°¡±Remember to go to a regular pharmacy and be careful of buying fake medicine.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at him and turned around to fart. She sat down on the sofa and picked up the cooking book to read again. However, she remembered that there were still dozens of papers waiting for her to finish in the next few days. Her head was getting bigger! She had just returned from the hospital and it was already so bad. She might as well continue to stay in the hospital! Anhao sat in the study room and barely finished a paper. She couldn¡¯t go on anymore, so she got up and paced back and forth in the study room. After all, Zuo Hancheng was recuperating at home while he was comfortably sitting on the bed and reading some documents. She had just been discharged from the hospital and was forced to come to the study room to do her homework. This was too much! Anhao kept the test papers and took the opportunity when Zuo Hancheng was not paying attention to find an ordinary glass mercury thermometer from the first aid kit. She then went to the kitchen and secretly poured a cup of hot water that had been boiled a few hours ago. She felt that the temperature of the water was still okay and directly inserted the thermometer into it. Two minutes later, he saw that the temperature had reached 39 degrees Celsius. He quickly took out the thermometer so that it would not be too obvious if the temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius. Then, she quietly ran from upstairs to downstairs, from downstairs to upstairs again. When she was panting and her body was hot and her face was a little red, she stood by the sofa with a glass of water in her hand. Then, she suddenly threw the glass on the floor and fell on the sofa, moaning. As expected, the bedroom door was opened within a minute because of the sound of the glass falling to the ground. Zuo Hancheng walked out of the door and saw Anhao panting heavily on the sofa. The broken pieces of the glass fell all over the floor, accompanied by all kinds of uncomfortable moans. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I think I have a fever.¡± Anhao¡¯s hands trembled as she picked up the thermometer and showed it to him.¡¯¡±¡®l wasn¡¯t feeling well just now, so I took my temperature. I was about to take some medicine myself, but I didn¡¯t hold the cup properly and fell down. It¡¯s so uncomfortable¡­¡± Anhao whimpered as she spoke, ¡®¡±¡® What should I do? I¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital, and I¡¯m sick again¡­¡± Perhaps she was really acting too well. Zuo Hancheng walked over and touched her forehead. He felt that her face was indeed much hotter than usual. Although it was not hot, the redness on her face was very realistic. In addition, Anhao¡¯s heartbeat was faster than usual. After looking at her for a while, he retracted his hand.¡±Call the doctor over to give you a fever shot.¡± ¡°No need, no need. It¡¯s only 39 degrees. I saw that there are fever patches and fever medicine for adults in our medical kit. I¡¯ll just use these.¡±Anhao said weakly. ¡°It just so happens that the family doctor will come over again this afternoon.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her as he turned around to pour himself a glass of water. Anhao quietly opened her eyes and looked at his back. She saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s steps were steady and his attitude was calm. He did not look anxious at all. She could not help but wonder if she was pretending. Why did he sound so calm? ¡°There¡¯s no need for an injection¡­¡± She sat up and looked like she was struggling. She said in a small voice,¡±l guess I was walking back and forth in the hospital a few days ago and got infected with some cold virus. I¡¯ll be fine after drinking more hot water and resting.¡± ¡°How do you know it¡¯s just a cold virus?¡±Zuo Hancheng brought a glass of water over.. Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (2) Chapter 228: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°How do you know it¡¯s just a cold virus?¡±Zuo Hancheng brought a glass of water over. Seeing this, Anhao grinned at him.¡±¡±Thank you.¡± As she spoke, she reached out to take the glass from his hand. However, Zuo Hancheng slowly moved the cup away from her and drank the water in the cup alone. Under Anhao¡¯s surprised gaze, he said calmly,¡±¡±There are many possibilities for a sudden high fever. If it¡¯s some infectious disease that can¡¯t be cured, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome or HINI, it will be bad. Don¡¯t use the cups at home for the time being, and don¡¯t touch anything. Change your clothes and go to the hospital for a check-up.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng calmly turned around and returned to the bedroom under Anhao¡¯s surprised expression. Anhao was stunned. She stood up and ran to the bedroom. When she saw that he had locked the door, she raised her hand and slammed the door twice.¡±Hey, Zuo Hancheng! Why did you lock the door?¡± ¡°Isolated.¡± ¡°Pe¡­¡± Anhao choked and slammed her hand on the door again.¡±¡±Leave your sister! I¡¯m just having a fever, why are you isolating me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very abnormal for someone like you to have a high fever of 39 degrees and a forehead full of sweat. The rapid heartbeat is very similar to HINI. Don¡¯t talk much at home and don¡¯t touch anything. Wait for the doctor to bring the disinfection tools over and take you to the hospital.¡¯ Anhao leaned against the door and heard the voice inside. She finally recognized it. Don¡¯t people sweat so much when they have a high fever? When she had a fever when she was young, she was covered in sweat. How could he tell that she was faking it just because of that? He actually wanted to isolate her! What went wrong? Anhao turned around to look at the sofa, then at the thermometer on the coffee table, then at the cup of water, and then at herself. She raised her hand and touched her forehead. There was still a thin layer of sweat on his forehead from running up and down the stairs. His skin was no longer hot, but his face was indeed a little red. This was so realistic! No one in this world was better at pretending to be sick than her! Was he forcing her to pretend to faint? Anhao gritted her teeth. She could not continue acting anymore. She slammed her knee on the door in front of her and cursed under her breath when she saw that Zuo Hancheng was ignoring her.¡±Bastard!¡± However, just as she was about to continue kicking the door, the door in front of her suddenly opened and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure appeared in front of her. Anhao¡¯s entire body stiffened. Her leg was still in the position of kicking forward. When she met his gaze, she slowly lowered her leg. Her expression was very unhappy because she had been exposed. ¡°Is it so difficult for you to do your winter vacation homework?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes fell on her face. ¡® Hmph!¡± Anhao snorted and turned her head away.¡± The various exam papers and questions in the third year of high school are not something that ordinary people can handle. Moreover, there are so many of them. I won¡¯t be able to finish them even if you kill me! ¡®¡±¡® ¡°Who was the one who secretly swore to work hard instead of being a salted fish?¡±Zuo Hancheng walked out of the bedroom and glanced at the broken glass beside the sofa.¡¯¡±¡®Clean up the debris. Don¡¯t hurt your feet.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression changed. She turned around to look at the broken pieces in front of the sofa and glared at Zuo Hancheng again. He actually beat him to it again! If she stepped on it, she might be able to get exemption from her winter vacation homework! In the end, he had actually predicted it beforehand, causing her to not be able to use this kind of underhanded method again! One had to know that a third-year high school student could have all kinds of hospitalization forms and medical records issued by the hospital. This kind of thing that could completely get rid of winter vacation homework was in her hands, but there was still someone forcing her to do winter vacation homework. How painful was it! If Zuo Hancheng had been in the last century, he would definitely have been a local tyrant and a landlord! She had no chance to make a decision in front of him! Anhao reluctantly walked over and squatted down to pick up the fragments. Zuo Hancheng saw her actions and spoke again,¡±¡±Go get the broom and don¡¯t touch it with your hands.¡± Anhao, who was about to use her finger to scratch the shard, suddenly stopped. She clenched her fingers tightly with hatred. When Zuo Hancheng received her fiery gaze, his handsome eyebrows moved slightly.¡±¡±Hurry up and go!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and ran over with a broom and mop to clean up the floor in front of the sofa. This went on for more than an hour. In the end, she simply sat down on the sofa. Regardless of whether he found out that she was pretending to be sick, she continued to whine,¡±l don¡¯t care. I¡¯m just sick. I have a headache, fever, cough, and runny nose. Cough, cough¡­ Why don¡¯t you just send me to the hospital for quarantine? That way, I don¡¯t have to do my homework and I don¡¯t have to go to the United States¡­ Anhao said as she lay on the sofa with her eyes closed. It was as if everyone would faint! She fainted. Let¡¯s see what he can do to her! In the end, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not see her pretending to be dead. When the doorbell rang, he turned around and opened the door. Anhao quietly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the door. She saw that it was Wenner. Tsk, Wenner and Zuo Hancheng had been in frequent contact recently. However, it did not stop her from playing dead. She closed her eyes and sat still on the sofa. When Wenner walked in, he saw that Ann was like a dead fish. He could not help but turn around and look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was so angry that he was about to have a headache, he immediately laughed out loud. ¡°Miss Gu, did you faint? Do you need Mr. Zuo¡¯s kiss to get up?¡±Wenner asked with a smile as he approached. Anhao suddenly opened her eyes and shot a cold glare at Wenner.¡±My acting skills are superb. Why are you here?¡± ¡± I¡¯ll do whatever the boss wants.¡± Wenner smiled and spread his hands.¡± Do you think I want to come to your house and be a shining third wheel?!¡±¡® Anhao, on the other hand, instantly perked up when she heard the words ¡± Boss ¡± had a request. She sat up abruptly and looked at Wenner, who was smiling like a flower, and then looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had his own high-temperature air conditioning. ¡°Pfft.¡± Wenner happened to be thirsty after entering the door. He turned around to pour a glass of water and was about to drink it when he almost spat it out. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her calmly and said, ¡®¡±¡® Don¡¯t talk. Continue to play dead. ¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and she sat on the sofa without moving.¡±¡±No, if you really have such needs, I¡¯ll go out now.. I¡¯ll make room for you and Wenner¡­¡± Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (3) Chapter 229: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (3) Translator: 549690339 Wenner almost got choked again. As he drank his water, he raised his hand and pointed in Anhao¡¯s direction. Then, he suddenly gave her a thumbs up. When Zuo Hancheng ignored Anhao¡¯s suicidal attitude and turned to the bedroom to get the documents, Wenner winked at Anhao and said,¡±¡± Miss Gu, I admire you more and more!¡± Anhao looked at him strangely.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the first mutant I¡¯ve met who managed to anger Mister Zuo to this extent and still be alive. ¡°Wenner had a serious expression, and the admiration in his eyes was very obvious. ¡°So what if I¡¯m angry at him?¡± Anhao chuckled. Can he eat me?¡± Wenner raised an eyebrow and raised a finger to shake at her.¡±¡±No, NO, no. Mr. Zuo loves you and is not in a hurry. He will definitely not eat you. Of course, if the word ¡®eat¡¯ has another meaning, that would be normal.¡± Anhao¡¯s face twitched.¡¯ Wenner took another sip of water and shook his finger at him.¡±¡±l advise you not to easily challenge your husband¡¯s bottom line. It¡¯s already surprising enough that a person like Mr. Zuo can talk so much nonsense with you in front of you. If you provoke him again, I can¡¯t guarantee that you won¡¯t be thrown out of the second floor by him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s better if he can throw me out. I¡¯m yearning for freedom.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯ve never seen a man as difficult to deal with as him!¡± Anhao grumbled.¡± Wenner almost couldn¡¯t hold back his laughter. Hearing the commotion in the bedroom, he guessed that Zuo Hancheng was about to come out. He added in a low voice,¡±¡±lf you know his attitude towards other women, you will know what I mean.¡± Anhao huffed angrily and did not say anything. It was unknown if she had heard Wenner¡¯s words. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure had already walked out of the bedroom. He saw Anhao¡¯s attitude, which was incompatible with her winter vacation homework, and chose to ignore her. He handed a sealed file to Wenner.¡±¡±lt¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s have dinner before leaving?¡± ¡°NO,NO.¡±Wenner opened the folder and said,¡¯¡±¡®l don¡¯t want to be affected by the flames of war between you two. I¡¯ll treat you guys another day.¡± After saying that, Wenner smiled and waved at Anhao. The electronic car key in his hand was shining under the light, and his white teeth were also shining. He turned around and quickly left the ¡± battlefield.¡± The sound of the car outside was heard until Wenner¡¯s car drove away. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have the leisure to pay attention to Gu Anhao, who was abandoned on the sofa. He looked back at her with a cold gaze.¡±Do you think it¡¯s reasonable for you to pretend to be sick just to not do your homework?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes. Where there was oppression, there would be resistance! It has nothing to do with me!¡± Was it easy for her to run up and down just to pretend to be sick? She poured water, smashed the cup, and pretended to be dead. In the end, she was mocked by others and now she was almost embarrassed! When had she, Gu Anhao, ever been so cowardly? After meeting Zuo Hancheng, her face could not take any more damage! Every time she fought with him, a large number of her brain cells would die! Was it easy for her?! However, even if her brain cells died, she had never won! ¡°How can I finish so many papers before the end of the holiday! You might as well kill me!¡± While Zuo Hancheng was deep in thought, she protested again in an attempt to make him feel a little more sympathetic. However, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her protest. He picked up the thermometer on the coffee table and threw it to her.¡±Let¡¯s measure again.¡± When she saw the thermometer, Anhao choked. The show had already come to this point. Even if it had been exposed, they could not let others find too perfect evidence! She refused to take it and glared at him.¡± Seeing how stubborn she was, Zuo Hancheng put away the thermometer and turned to leave. Anhao thought that he was going to let her go for the time being. She sat on the sofa and thought about how to solve the problem of her winter vacation homework. After thinking for a while, she was about to get up, but just as she got up and turned around, she froze. Zuo Hancheng had walked back to her without her noticing. He held an electronic thermometer in his hand and placed it on her forehead as if he was performing a magic trick. When Anhao froze, he lowered his eyes to look at the temperature displayed on the screen. Then, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully. Anhao did not believe this. She tilted her head and looked at the thermometer. When she saw that it showed 36.8 degrees, she said unhappily,¡±This thing is not accurate. I¡¯ve checked on the Internet. People say that this kind of electronic thermometer is not accurate at all when it¡¯s stuck on the forehead!¡± Zuo Hancheng completely ignored her words. He stuffed the thermometer into her hand and said calmly,¡±¡±Write five test papers for me to check before you go to bed tonight. If your accuracy is less than 95%, don¡¯t even think about sleeping.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Anhao lowered her head and looked at the thermometer in her hand. She immediately turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back, wishing she could kill him with her gaze! However, as soon as she glared at him, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have sensed something. He paused for a moment. Anhao quickly retracted her gaze and fiddled with the things in her hands. She muttered, ¡°This thermometer must be broken. It¡¯s definitely broken. I¡¯ll find some time to buy a new one¡­¡± Then, she saw Zuo Hancheng walk into the bedroom from the corner of her eye. The moment the bedroom door closed, Anhao fell headfirst onto the sofa. It was so unfair. Why did she have to work on the paper when he could rest? Were third-year students not human? Can¡¯t you enjoy the treatment of a human? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh At six o¡¯clock in the evening, Anhao was already sleeping soundly on the sofa. It was only when her phone rang that she opened her eyes abruptly. She turned over and saw that it was Huang Amao calling. She raised her hand to grab her hair and looked at the time again. Then, she turned her eyes abruptly in the direction of the bedroom. She actually slept until six o¡¯clock? After quietly chatting with Huang Amao on the phone, she ran to the study room and took out the papers. She wanted to find the simplest papers to finish today¡¯s task first. As she flipped through it, she happened to see a few more difficult questions. She folded them up and planned to destroy the evidence. Anyway, Zuo Hancheng had never seen her test papers, so he might not be able to remember how many were missing. Just as she was about to throw the most difficult ones into the trash bin, the bedroom door suddenly opened. Anhao quickly threw the test paper onto the sofa and sat down. At the same time, she lay down on the sofa and continued to pretend to be dead.. Chapter 230 - Chapter 230: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (4) Chapter 230: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Usually, Anhao¡¯s eyes would widen after she did something wrong to show that she was not guilty. Now, she was staring at his every move after he left the house. Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently.¡±¡±Anhao, what time is it now?¡± ¡°Half past six.¡± Anhao blinked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± ¡°.. I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°Who said that you would take care of me for the next few days? Where¡¯s dinner?¡± ¡± I don¡¯t have any ingredients at home today. I want to order take-out! said as she reached out to grab her phone from the coffee table. She tried her best to stay still on the sofa. Just as she successfully grabbed the phone, Zuo Hancheng turned his gaze to the side and looked at the spot below her. He saw the corner of a stack of papers, but he did not expose her. He only watched her quietly as she took out her phone and ordered takeout. After ordering takeout, Anhao waved her phone at him.¡±¡±Alright, I ordered ramen and wontons.¡± As she spoke, she guarded against Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze and pressed down on the thing under her. Zuo Hancheng looked away as if he did not see anything and said casually, ¡°I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just considered, I¡¯ve just¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. Did Zuo Hancheng finally have a conscience after resting for an afternoon? Just as she was about to stand up, Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±But Gu Anhao, you have the habit of lying down wherever you fall. If I show you mercy, I might be too kind.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Ten papers. Don¡¯t sleep until you finish them.¡±¡±Have I been too indulgent with you recently?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Have you forgotten the rules I set for you so quickly?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. You were the one who wanted me to study hard and improve every day. In order not to return to that godforsaken place, the Gu family, I had no choice but to submit to your lewd power!¡± Anhao knew that there was no need to hide it anymore. Just a simple sentence like lying down wherever she fell was enough to make her crawl into a hole in the ground. She muttered as she sat up with a dissatisfied expression. She picked up the test papers that were pressed under her and threw them on the coffee table.¡±After school starts, I can study however hard you want me to, but the task of these test papers is too heavy, and the questions are as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Writing one sheet a day can kill all my brain cells, and you actually want me to write ten sheets? You might as well throw me off the second floor. If I fall and get a concussion, I won¡¯t have to write anymore!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zuo Hancheng frown slightly. Anhao rolled her eyes at him. Anyway, I don¡¯t write! Bite me if you dare!¡± After a short silence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze remained calm as he walked toward her. Anhao was shocked and immediately looked at him warily.¡±¡±No way, are you really going to bite me?¡± The moment Zuo Hancheng approached her, she tensed up and took a few steps back. However, she heard him say in a cold voice,¡±¡±Come here, don¡¯t hide.¡± ¡°I¡¯m an idiot!¡± Anhao picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it at his face. However, despite his injuries, Zuo Hancheng was still very agile. He took the pillow and threw it at his feet. He leaned forward and bent down the moment Anhao screamed. ¡°Ahhhh, don¡¯t you dare! Zuo Hancheng, you are a man! I¡¯m just kidding, you can¡¯t really bite me! If you bite it, you still have to get an injection. It¡¯s not worth it, right?¡± Anhao was restrained by him, and she curled up and shrunk her neck like a turtle, not daring to show her face. Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment, then lifted her chin and kissed her on the lips. The moment Anhao was stunned, the gentle kiss suddenly turned into a bite. It was not very painful, but there was still some slight pain. Anhao didn¡¯t dare to struggle. She could only open her eyes aggrievedly and look at the devilish face in front of her. This monster! If the hard way didn¡¯t work, then the soft way! If soft couldn¡¯t do it, then she would directly seduce him! He clearly knew that she was the type of person who would resist wherever there was oppression, but he actually used such a gentle and poisonous method to attack her! Her little heart was about to twitch! The man¡¯s lips were soft and cool, and his breath was warm and persistent. It was only when Anhao¡¯s eyes turned red from being unable to breathe that he gave her space to breathe. However, it was only for a second before his lips landed on hers again. Her lips and teeth were filled with this man¡¯s unique warmth. Anhao was completely defeated and wanted to escape from his gentle trap. Just as she was about to retreat, he suddenly held the back of her head and pressed her directly into the sofa. She was kissed by him until her entire body went soft and she gave up her weapon! Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes seemed to be bewitching her. Was he trying to use his ultimate move on her? She actually felt that no matter what he did now, he was doing it for her sake! Anhao immediately closed her eyes and stopped looking at him, but the feeling on her lips could not be ignored. It was only when she was almost suffocated by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss that he finally let her go. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re too shameless.¡± It was not until Zuo Hancheng had gotten up and left the sofa that Anhao finally regained her senses. She turned around and stared at his back.¡±lf I can¡¯t win, I¡¯ll just say it. Do the employees in your company know that you¡¯re such a CEO?¡± Who could stand this kind of way of kissing without a word? ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± This is because I need to recuperate after being discharged from the hospital early. I can¡¯t exercise vigorously for the time being.¡± Otherwise, of course, I¡¯d rather sleep with you!¡± Anhao swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. A wise man doesn¡¯t know when to lose! ¡°Ten then.¡± She rolled her eyes at him. She picked up the test paper and ran into the study room. Anhao¡¯s greatest strength was that she was more tactful when she really couldn¡¯t resist. However, when she really sat in front of the table and opened the paper to look at the questions on it, she still had a headache and pressed her head against the table, feeling extremely discouraged. Dealing with the previous final exam questions was at most a last-minute effort to get Qin Feng to help her quickly master all the knowledge she needed. However, these were the college entrance examination mock questions. They were all difficult questions that could kill her! Ten¡­ The takeout for the night arrived not long after, but Zuo Hancheng did not eat it. The takeout was to Anhao¡¯s liking. Seeing that he did not eat, she decided to be angry with him and ate two servings by herself. In the end, she was so full that she held her stomach and sat in front of the table to write her test paper. She felt even more tormented. 10 PM. Anhao was so sleepy that she couldn¡¯t even lift her head, but she could only manage to write three. Moreover, because they were in a hurry, the accuracy could not be guaranteed. When she picked up the fourth paper, her eyes felt like they were glued. She forced her eyes open and stared at the paper in front of her. After staring for two minutes, she suddenly stood up and slammed the pen on the table. With a heroic expression, she turned around and left the study.. Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (5) Chapter 231: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (5) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng was seriously injured, so he had the privilege to rest early. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was not in the living room, Anhao pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. ¡°I won¡¯t write anything if you want to rape me now, I won¡¯t write anything!¡±Anhao said as she walked to the bed. She lifted the blanket and was about to go to sleep. In the end, not only did Zuo Hancheng not respond, but she also suddenly paused and opened her eyes as soon as she lay under the blanket. So hot? Anhao poked her head out from under the blanket. There was no bright light in the bedroom, only a dim yellow wall lamp at the bedside. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was slightly paler than during the day, and his body was unusually hot. ¡°Hello,¡± Anhao reached out and gently pushed his uninjured shoulder. When Zuo Hancheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, he asked,¡±¡±Why is your body so hot?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond. He only glanced at her and then closed his eyes. It was obvious that he really wanted to rest. Anhao, however, instantly lost her sleepiness. When Zuo Hancheng was discharged from the hospital earlier, she remembered the doctor saying that it was not yet time for him to be discharged from the hospital. Even if he had a family doctor to take care of him after he returned home, he still needed to pay attention to a lot of things. Because the injury was very serious, it was very likely that the wound would become inflamed with fever if he was not careful. Damn it, could it be that she had failed to pretend to be sick and now he really had a fever? ¡°Do you have a fever?¡± Anhao raised her hand to touch his forehead. She had been answering the questions in the study room and her hands were a little cold. When she touched his forehead, Zuo Hancheng slowly turned his head away to avoid her hand. When had Zuo Hancheng ever been so weak? Anhao immediately got off the bed and ran out to get the thermometer. She took a look and saw that it was 38.9 degrees. She clicked her tongue and when Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes to look at her, she said heartlessly,¡±¡±lf I were to kill you now, would you have no ability to resist at all?¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and smiled.¡± Anhao, I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t afford to pay the price of disaster.¡¯¡±¡® How dare he threaten her at this time! Anhao rolled her eyes at him and turned to look for his phone.¡±¡±l¡¯ll call the doctor and ask them to come over.¡± ¡°No need. The wound hasn¡¯t healed yet. It¡¯s inevitable that there will be occasional signs of fever. It¡¯s not serious.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already 38.9 degrees and you still haven¡¯t called the doctor? Do you want to be hospitalized again after having inflammation?¡± Anhao said as she went to the first aid kit to look for fever medicine. However, just as she was about to walk out of the bedroom, she suddenly remembered that she didn¡¯t see any fever medicine in the first aid kit when she was looking for the thermometer in the morning. There was a large pharmacy right outside the main entrance of the Liu Jing Garden. She picked up her coat and was about to leave without saying anything. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned when he saw her putting on her coat. ¡°Go to a regular pharmacy to buy rat poison so that you can kill your husband.¡±After Anhao finished speaking, she ran out without returning. After buying the medicine, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temperature was still very high. Anhao measured his temperature again and saw that it was already over 39 degrees Celsius. She simply made a cup of fever medicine and brought it over to him. ¡°Then, a cup of rat poison.¡± She placed the cup on the bedside cabinet and increased the brightness of the wall lamp. She stood by the bedside and stared at Zuo Hancheng, who was running a fever. Zuo Hancheng was so feverish that he could barely stay awake. After all, he was injured. When he heard Anhao¡¯s words, he opened his eyes and looked at her. Seeing that this girl was still so stubborn when she was concerned about others, he could not help but sigh and slowly sit up. Without even looking at the medicine in the cup, he picked it up and drank it. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng trusted her unconditionally, Anhao pursed her lips, and the little softness in the corner of her heart was touched again. She admitted that she was usually too willful, but after seeing him suffer such a serious injury because of her recklessness under the building, he still had a fever because of the wound. She had tormented Zuo Hancheng into such a weak state, and the guilt that she had suppressed before rose again. The glass of water with fever medicine was emptied. Anhao reached out to take the empty glass. Her small mouth moved, and after a long time, she asked, ¡°¡±Do you feel uncomfortable?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. His voice was a little hoarse.¡±lt¡¯s fine. I rarely get sick. Recently, I¡¯ve been taking a break from work. The fever is only related to the wound. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, but she was still worried and reached out to touch his forehead. However, just as her hand reached his forehead, he gently grabbed it and slowly pulled her hand down. ¡°Have you completed the mission I gave you?¡± Anhao had been busy for a long time and almost forgot that she was still struggling to sleep and the nightmare of ten test papers. She simply sat down on the bed.¡±No, you¡¯re running a fever. I have to sit here and watch over you!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. He knew that it was already very late, but he did not continue to bully her in the end. Thinking of her aggrieved look, he smiled. ¡°What¡¯s the point of sitting by the bed? Come here and lie down.¡¯ He patted the seat beside him. Anhao was already too tired to take it. He was seriously injured anyway, and now he was running a high fever. She wasn¡¯t worried that he would touch her at this time. Hence, Anhao happily lifted the blanket and lay down beside him. At the same time, she reached out and touched his body. ¡°No need, go to sleep.¡± Zuo Hancheng reached out and patted her little head. His gentle strength had a comforting effect. However, Anhao pushed his hand away ungratefully.¡±¡±Don¡¯t touch me. Your hand is so hot. If your fever doesn¡¯t subside in half an hour, wake me up. I¡¯ll think of a way to help you lower your temperature physically.¡± Zuo Hancheng was indeed too feverish to waste his energy talking nonsense with her. He covered her with the blanket and said, ¡°¡±Go to sleep, little thing.¡± His gentle gaze fell on her face. His face was pale, but under the light, he looked even gentler and more intimate than usual. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and closed her eyes. The next morning. When Anhao woke up, she found herself in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. She raised her head and reached out to touch his forehead. Seeing that his body temperature was no longer as high and had returned to normal, she slowly sat up. Initially, she did not want to wake him up and wanted to go to the kitchen to try to make something that he could eat. After all, she had learned a lot of new skills in the past two days and her cooking skills had improved a lot. She could still handle a breakfast. As soon as she stood up, Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes.. Chapter 232 - Chapter 232: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (6) Chapter 232: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (6) Translator: 549690339 The two of them looked at each other. The scene of waking up in each other¡¯s arms was so heartwarming that Anhao, who had suffered setbacks since she was young, could not accept it for a moment. ¡°It seems that the fever medicine I bought last night is quite effective.¡± She grinned.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes glistened. He did not say a word, but held her tightly to prevent her from getting off the bed. He leaned lazily against the pillow and glanced at her twice.¡±lt¡¯s not a good thing to be too clear-headed after the fever has subsided.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Anhao asked curiously.¡± ¡°Someone has been drooling, grinding his teeth, and talking in his sleep in my arms all night. How can I sleep?¡± Anhao instantly raised her hand and touched her chin. Her eyes widened in surprise.¡±Did I drool in my sleep?¡± ¡°Do you think you look good sleeping?¡± Seeing that his attitude seemed to be true, Anhao instinctively lifted the blanket on the two of them and looked around for traces of her drooling. However, after searching for a long time, there was no trace on the clean bedsheets and blankets. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pajamas seemed to have been torn apart. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was slightly pale, and his pajamas were half torn open. He looked like a demon who had suffered a little. There wasn¡¯t a third person on the bed, so it was obvious that she was the culprit. Seeing Anhao staring at his pajamas, Zuo Hancheng said with a meaningful look,¡±¡±l didn¡¯t expect you to be so bold when you¡¯re asleep.¡± As he spoke, he slowly pulled up his collar and got off the bed under Anhao¡¯s incredulous gaze. ¡°Hello¡­ ¡± ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, hey¡­¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng walk out of the bedroom, Anhao felt like her head was about to explode. Your sister! What did she do to Zuo Hancheng after she fell asleep last night? Did she really have some inexplicable erotic dream and then spend the entire night in his arms doing this and that? Oh my god¡­ Her moral integrity was shattered! My heart is so tired. I feel like I won¡¯t love you anymore! After the lesson from the night before, Anhao decided to make the second floor her private space again the next morning. The test papers and everything else were brought to the second floor. Zuo Hancheng was strictly forbidden from entering her private area. She even claimed that it was quieter upstairs so that she could calm down and write her test papers. Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t refute her reason and let her do whatever she wanted. As a disabled person who needed to recuperate at home, he would not be far from death if he was too calculative about everything. Zuo Hancheng cherished his life very much. At least, he did not intend to make things difficult for Anhao. Since Anhao went to the second floor, Zuo Hancheng had more private time. Every time she went downstairs, she could see Mobai¡¯s figure. Occasionally, Lin Qing and Mobai would come over together. She did not understand the various things that happened in the company, but she was sure that in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private residence, other than Lin Qing and Mobai, who were his confidants, no one else had the chance to enter his company. ¡°President Zuo, with your current recovery condition, it¡¯s really not suitable for you to return to the company so early. In my opinion¡­¡± Lin Qing didn¡¯t know what Zuo Hancheng and Lin Qing were talking about, but when he suddenly said this, Anhao happened to come downstairs. When she heard Lin Qing¡¯s words, she glanced in their direction. ¡°Are you really going to the company so early? Didn¡¯t the doctor suggest not to go for the time being? Wasn¡¯t his wound still recovering?¡±she asked. ¡°Miss Gu.¡± Lin Qing turned to look at her and nodded politely. Mobai also smiled at Anhao.¡± We¡¯re also trying to persuade President Zuo, but it¡¯s obviously useless. Recently, there have been a lot of trivial matters in the company. President Zuo has been used to doing it himself for the past five years since he returned to the country, and it¡¯s no exception now.¡± Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the sofa with an IV drip in one hand and a stack of documents in the other. She couldn¡¯t help but purse her lips.¡±¡±The richer you are, the harder you work. It¡¯s good to be ordinary like me. I can take a long vacation and sleep for a few days just because I¡¯m sick. How strong must a person¡¯s shoulders be to take on so many responsibilities?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her and said calmly, ¡®¡±With such a gluttonous wife, if I don¡¯t work harder, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to support you.¡± Lin Qing held back his laughter while Mobai smiled as he glanced at Anhao, who had a defeated expression. ¡°Even if I eat the most expensive crayfish in my life, it would at most be a tenth of the assets under your name. A dignified tycoon with billions of assets is actually afraid that I will eat you poor! Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m not going to take the blame! What if one day you die from overwork and fall on your desk? Others might think that the crayfish I ate was fed with diamonds! He could actually eat Zuo Hancheng until he was poor!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was indifferent. He still did not turn around to look at her. He casually flipped through the document in his hand and said in a deep voice, ¡°Have you finished today¡¯s test papers?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She turned around and ran upstairs. Lin Qing and Mobai looked at each other. Both of them could feel President Zuo¡¯s indulgence and love for Gu Anhao, but the little girl clearly didn¡¯t appreciate it. When had President Zuo ever been so patient with a woman? Even Rong Xue did not receive such treatment back then. Anhao was really a big-hearted girl. Anhao ran back to her small study room on the second floor. She had already completed two papers today, and she really didn¡¯t want to do any more. She turned on her computer to surf the internet. Recently, she had rarely heard news about Chunchun. It seemed that if she didn¡¯t take the initiative to ask for Chunchun¡¯s whereabouts, that d * mn woman really planned to disappear completely. She had planned to log into QQ, but she had taken the computer from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s study room at the last minute. Only then did she realize that QQ was not installed on the computer. There were only international Messenger and some popular international communication tools. Anhao clicked her mouse and clicked her mouse. She was randomly refreshing the screen when suddenly, a new email popped up below. This was not Zuo Hancheng¡¯s work computer. Although he often used it for work, there were quite a few things installed on it. She did not notice that his private email was automatically logged in when he turned it on. Anhao instinctively wanted to turn off the notification of the new email and give it to him when she went downstairs later. Snow? Anhao raised her eyebrows and clicked on the email uncontrollably. The content of the email was very simple. There was only a very beautiful photo of a back view at the top. In the distant scenery of the photo, there was a figure who turned around and looked back in an instant. The photo was beautiful, and so were the words below. Even though Anhao¡¯s grades weren¡¯t that good, she had specially copied many love poems from overseas to send to the school hunk as invitations. The poem that Rong Xue had added to the photo was a very sour poem that Anhao had written before. It was a poem written by an Australia poet named Rilke.. Chapter 233 - Chapter 233: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (7) Chapter 233: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (7) Translator: 549690339 The translated content is- Cover my eyes, I can still see you. Cover my ears, I can still hear you. I can still walk to you without my feet. Without lips, I can still call you. , Break my arms, but I can still use my heart to embrace your shadow instead of my hands. Take away my heart, my thoughts are still beating. Even if my mind and thoughts are illuminated, I can still use all the blood in my body to float everything about you. Anhao rested her chin on her hand as she looked at the beautiful photo of Rong Xue in which she had turned her head in an instant. She looked at the postcard with the English version of the love poem that she had personally copied. Then, she looked at the scanned email and finally noticed the handwritten time marked below. May 201X, New York, USA. These were the photos and poems that Rong Xue had pasted on the postcard a year and a half ago. Why did she scan them and send them to Zuo Hancheng? Anhao suddenly had a bold idea. She closed the email and went to look for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mailbox. She saw that there were only simple letters between him and his subordinates. Of course, important letters would not be in this private mailbox. However, there were actually more than a hundred letters in his mailbox¡¯s trash bin. Anhao blinked her eyes and opened the mailbox¡¯s trash bin. She saw more than a hundred emails from Rong Xue, one every week. All of them were unread, and Zuo Hancheng did not read any of them. Weird, isn¡¯t it tiring to delete so many emails one by one? After flipping through it carefully, Anhao raised her eyebrows. It turned out that Rong Xue¡¯s email address had been rejected long ago. However, this email had a human-friendly function that saved all the emails she sent to the recycling bin. Zuo Hancheng had not read all these messages, and he had even rejected Rong Xue¡¯s emails. There were more than a hundred of them, one every week. This proved that Rong Xue had been trying to contact Zuo Hancheng two years ago. In the end, Zuo Hancheng coldly threw her into the reject box. There were so many emails, but he did not even read a single one! How did Rong Xue offend Zuo Hancheng? It turned out that men were so scary when they were heartless. Anhao saw that the email she had just opened ran straight into the trash bin, so she decided to ignore it and was too lazy to open the other unread emails about Rong Xue. Even though she was curious, she could tell Rong Xue¡¯s determination to walk back into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s life in the past two years just by reading one letter. Therefore, there was no need to look anymore. After all, it was quite disgusting to always use her beautiful photos as accompanying pictures. ¡°Ah! Cover my eyes, I can still see you. Cover my ears, I can still hear you ¡°Ah, break my arm, but I can still use my heart to embrace your shadow instead of my hands. Take away my heart, my thoughts are still beating In the afternoon, Anhao diligently cleaned the place with a mop, but she kept reciting poems with an exaggerated expression. Zuo Hancheng frowned. He could not bear to read the letter in his hand because of her teasing. He glanced at her and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the poem, Anhao stopped mopping the floor and rested her hands on the mop. She rested her chin on her hands and smiled at him.¡±¡±Are you interested in these foreign poems?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned again and looked at her as if she was a lunatic.¡±¡±Not interested.¡± ¡°Are you really not interested?¡± Anhao grinned. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not want to continue with this idiotic topic. He lowered his eyes and continued to read the letter in his hand. ¡°Then what are you interested in?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Only now do you realize how good your husband is and you can¡¯t bear to push it to someone else. Are you trying to satisfy my liking?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her as if he had seen through her. Anhao was embarrassed. He had guessed half of it right. However, it was obvious that he had completely ignored the poems that Rong Xue had sent him over the past two years. That was good too. If her husband was really interested in those things that were so sour that his teeth were about to fall, her endless admiration for Zuo Hancheng would probably be greatly reduced. ¡°Yeah, seeing that you¡¯re still an injured patient, I can occasionally coax you. What¡¯s wrong with doing what you like? Tell me, what are you interested in?¡± Anhao said as she looked at him excitedly. Zuo Hancheng looked at the letter and did not raise his head. His voice was clear and cold.¡±You.¡± Anhao leaned against the mop and almost fell down with it. She hurriedly steadied the mop and looked up at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm attitude.¡±l¡¯m serious! What exactly are you interested in?¡± Why was this girl so clingy this afternoon? Zuo Hancheng looked up at her and saw that she did not look like she was fooling around. Instead, she looked a little serious. He put down the letter in his hand.¡± Every time he said this, it was not a good thing. Seeing her retreat, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes revealed a thought-provoking smile.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you want to know where my interests lie? Come here.¡± ¡°No!¡± Anhao raised the mop. ¡°Stop fooling around. Put down the mop and come sit down.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was extremely gentle. Seeing that his eyes seemed very serious, Anhao hesitated for a moment before putting the mop aside. Then, she hesitated for a moment before she slowly walked to his side. Zuo Hancheng gestured for her to sit down, and she sat beside him. Just as she was about to move to the side, the man beside her had already wrapped his arm around her shoulder. At the same time, he pressed her into his arms and kissed her on the hairline.¡±Haven¡¯t you heard that the unattainable is always the best? You¡¯re like a rabbit that can¡¯t be caught. I can¡¯t just use the word ¡®interest¡¯ to describe you.¡± ¡°Then how do you describe it?¡± Anhao was puzzled, but she enjoyed leaning into his arms. Zuo Hancheng smiled. When she raised her head to look at him, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on her slightly opened lips. His eyes darkened slightly as he said slowly,¡±¡±Yes¡­ Desire.¡± Anhao raised her hand and slapped his hand away from her chest. ¡°Shameless!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not have the self-awareness of a shameless person at all. He only smiled and pinched her breasts twice. This purely teasing action made Anhao¡¯s hair stand on end as she retreated.¡±Dirty!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed meaningfully.¡±¡±This rare leisure life can only be recuperated. It¡¯s really a kind of torture.¡± Understanding the meaning behind his words, Anhao immediately jumped off the sofa to the side, picked up the mop again, turned around, and ran away.. Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (8) Chapter 234: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (8) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng smiled as he watched the little girl run away like a rabbit. He shook the letter in his hand and continued reading. Anhao ran into the bathroom with the mop and glanced outside as she washed the mop. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had returned to his work state so calmly, she was teased so much that her ears turned hot and her heart beat faster. She could not help but hate herself for taking Zuo Hancheng¡¯s matter more and more seriously. She clearly didn¡¯t care much about him in the past. She clearly didn¡¯t treat him as her husband in the past¡­ But now¡­ The sound of running water came from the bathroom and lasted for a long time. Zuo Hancheng stood up and walked to the bathroom door. He saw Anhao standing beside the bucket with a mop in her hand. The water in the bucket was already overflowing and had been flowing out for a long time, but she still stood there motionless as if she had lost her soul. ¡°If you don¡¯t come back to your senses, you will continue to stink up the entire Gilded Scenic Garden and put on another show of flooding Gilded Scenic Garden.¡±Zuo Hancheng was standing outside the door, and he was giving a piece of his own. Anhao snapped back to her senses and turned around to see him. She quickly went forward to turn off the water. She had been thinking about Zuo Hancheng for so long! Gu Anhao, is your brain flooded with water too? Was there water in his brain or was he having a stroke? Did he really have to be so serious? In the middle of the night, Anhao was still tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, because she had recently been teased by Zuo Hancheng and was more and more concerned about this marriage. Even when she finally fell asleep, she couldn¡¯t sleep well. She had deliberately come to the bedroom on the second floor to sleep today, but she kept waking up and sleeping. Ininsomnia was simply an inhuman torture. At around midnight, Anhao turned around and saw that her phone screen was lit up. She saw that Huang Amao and Su Chunchun were chatting fervently in the group chat, as if they were discussing the video and photos of a famous male star who had been stolen while having sex outside. Anhao picked up her phone and opened the group chat. The first thing she saw was the photo that was instantly swiped over. It was quite a powerful photo, and she didn¡¯t even need to type! She was already suffering from insomnia, and now she was even more awake! Wasn¡¯t the male star in the photo the one who had a scandal with Rongxue when he went to America to film a movie? She was a celebrity who had received a few very good films in recent years and had attracted countless fans. She had suddenly risen to the status of an A-list movie star. She was the kind of celebrity who relied on her face to make a living. He had only been popular for a year and this news had already been exposed! Anhao was no longer sleepy. Seeing that Chunchun had shared the video file in the group, she immediately got up and opened her computer to install QQto download the video in the group. As soon as the video started, he forgot to turn down the volume of the computer. The soul-stirring voice of the male and female leads in the video instantly sounded. Anhao was so frightened that she quickly turned her voice down and secretly glanced at the door. Zuo Hancheng should be asleep by now. After all, he was still working hard during the day. With his current physical condition, he should rest early. Moreover, she was in the bedroom on the second floor. The soundproofing of this house was very good, so he should not be able to hear her. It was just that she had a guilty conscience¡­ After confirming that there was no sound outside and that Zuo Hancheng could not hear her, she continued to watch the video and continued to type on the keyboard. [Anhao: This male star with the surname W has a pretty good figure. This kind of real-life exercise is even more professional than some island country¡¯s film!]] [Chunchun: Aiyo, the little wife of the Zuo family is actually not asleep? Your husband¡¯s figure is much better than this male star with the surname W, right? You can actually praise another man¡¯s figure? Aren¡¯t you afraid that your husband will spank you? (Knocking nose)] [Huang Amao: (lewd smile) Lips, lips, don¡¯t be jealous, okay? Tell me, how many of these video resources do you have? Hurry up and send it to us. In the past, we only watched it on your computer in the dormitory. You never sent it to us. Hurry up and share it with us!] [Anhao: (Rolling her eyes) How can I miss such an exciting thing? No matter how good my husband¡¯s figure is, you¡¯ll get sick of him after looking at him for a long time, okay?] [Chunchun: (perverted) So your husband¡¯s skills must be super good!] [Huang Amao: ¡± So good. Remember to guard against fire, theft, and bestie. Look, Chunchun has been drooling over your Boss Zuo all day!¡±] [Chunchun: As if you don¡¯t covet Zuo Hancheng? I can¡¯t even find a man like this, and he can¡¯t even make me smitten?] [Anhao: They were discussing this man with the surname W, alright? Su Chunchun, hand over all your resources. It just so happens that I don¡¯t have the mood to sleep in the middle of the night. I¡¯ll be counting on the video you sent me to spend the night!] [Chunchun: (Surprised face) Gu Anhao, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re not satisfied with your desires. Is Zuo Hancheng, a top-notch man, not enough to satisfy you?]] [Anhao: Cut the crap, hurry up and send it!] [Chunchun: (XXXX.a-vi uploaded)] The group instantly quieted down. Anhao and Huang Amao downloaded the videos one after another. As Chunchun uploaded the videos, they downloaded one. The last four or five videos and a bunch of explosive photos were stored in a folder at the same time. Anhao closed the group and planned to enjoy the visual feast tonight. It had been a long time since she had watched such explosive stuff with the two of them in the dormitory ever since she had moved into Liu Jing Garden. Moreover, ever since Zuo Hancheng had found out about the domineering CEO¡¯s obscene articles in her USB drive, she had secretly deleted all the resources she had saved. ¡°Yes¡­ Ah¡­ Humph.. ¡°Oh, oh¡­ Well¡­ Ah¡­¡± Because she was too sure that the soundproofing of this house was good, Anhao couldn¡¯t help but increase the volume by two notches. It was still not very loud, but it was much clearer than before. ¡°Oh, oh¡­ Ahhh¡­ ¡°Yes¡­ Oh¡­ Dear¡­¡± The two of them were mocking the woman¡¯s voice for being too fake. They also said that the woman¡¯s breasts were obviously newly enlarged and the traces of the gel were too obvious. Anhao laughed as she ate her chips, completely ignoring the commotion outside the door. Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened from the outside. Anhao was still immersed in the exaggerated voice of the woman in the video and couldn¡¯t extricate herself. She raised her hand and typed on the keyboard. [Anhao: If this woman¡¯s voice was a little louder, it would be like a screaming chicken. I remember that the toy little yellow chicken was still placed by Chunchun¡¯s bedside, hahahaha!] After she finished typing, she continued to read and eat her chips. When she came back to her senses, the smile on her face was gone. She felt a chill down her spine. Her hands trembled in the bag of chips and she slowly looked behind her. What could be more shocking than being caught red-handed by her own husband while secretly watching a certain film in her room? Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (9) Chapter 235: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (9) Translator: 549690339 What could be more shocking than being caught red-handed by her own husband while secretly watching a certain film in her room? The moment they met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, they were no longer just shocked! His soul was about to fly out of his body! She did not know when Zuo Hancheng had entered her room, and she did not even know when he was standing behind her. Anhao almost staggered and fell off her chair. She instantly jumped up to close the laptop and quickly threw the bag of potato chips into the trash. However, she was so embarrassed that she almost lost the courage to look back at him. After a long time, she finally turned around to look at the man behind her with an unnatural smile. When she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s seemingly calm and unchanging gaze, Anhao¡¯s forced smile instantly crumbled. She helplessly shrugged her head and tried to explain in a weak voice,¡±¡±l just clicked on a video by chance. I suspect that my computer might have been poisoned, so this thing automatically popped up.. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He raised his eyebrows slowly and said after a while,¡±¡±You moved back to the room on the second floor with the excuse of studying quietly. So, you were studying just now?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s face was already on the verge of collapsing. She immediately raised her eyes and glanced at him.¡±No¡­¡± ¡°If you want to learn, why do you need to look at this kind of thing? Are you using your husband as a decoration?¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he was already approaching her. Anhao suddenly took two steps back. When she leaned against the edge of the table behind her, she raised her eyes and said with her currently weak aura,¡±l told you, I just casually opened it and took a look! How could I wake up in the middle of the night to look at this kind of thing!¡± After saying that, she felt that her aura was not enough, so she added, ¡°This is the male star with the surname W who has become popular in the past two years. Now, the internet is filled with explosive news and videos about him. I really just casually clicked on it and saw it¡­Then, you bumped into me again¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say a word. There was only a smile hidden in his dark eyes that made her want to crawl into the cracks in the ground. ¡°Wait!¡± Anhao suddenly remembered why this guy came to her room in the middle of the night. ¡°When are you coming over?¡± she asked directly. ¡°I¡¯ve had a lot of rest time recently, so I¡¯m not sleepy at the moment. I wanted to see how much of your homework you¡¯ve completed.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the computer behind her and then glanced at her.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, you¡¯ve really broken my understanding of you again.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I told you that the three of us often watch these things in the dormitory. You just caught us today. Foreign sex education has been popularized since we were teenagers. I¡¯m self-taught¡­ ¡°Self-taught?¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed mockingly at her strange and unreasonable words. Just as Anhao was about to lose her strength to continue speaking, he pressed her down on the table and lowered his head. Just as she was about to lose her balance and fall onto the table, he whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Come, let me see the results. What have you learned?¡± As expected, she would not die if she did not seek death. Anhao felt that she was not far from being swallowed by the wolf while Zuo Hancheng was recuperating at home. Moreover, she was courting death! She stared at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, which was right in front of her. She blinked twice before she suddenly remembered that she had not turned off the voice message on the computer. She had been watching the video just now, and she had been playing the voice chat chat in the group chat. The three women were laughing and typing very clearly. However, after Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded, the computer instantly fell silent. Anhao lowered her head and looked at the computer that she was about to press down on. The scene of Su Chunchun and Huang Amao laughing until their noses were crooked while listening to the live version of Zuo¡¯s flirting technique appeared in her mind! She only closed the computer but didn¡¯t turn it off! She was going to lose all her face! She raised her head and met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. With a flushed face, she pointed at the computer under her with a troubled expression. Zuo Hancheng could see the meaning behind her gaze and actions, but it was obvious that he had already seen through everything. He did not feel embarrassed or surprised at all. He only curled his lips slightly and pinched her waist at the same time. Anhao¡¯s body was unusually sensitive because of her instinctive reaction and the fact that her voice was still on. However, she felt as if all the pores on her body were about to burst open after being teased by him. Her breathing quickened as she looked at Zuo Hancheng unnaturally. It was obvious that he did not intend to let her go. After enduring for a long time, she finally had no choice but to raise her two small hands and hold them in front of her chest as if she was begging for mercy. She looked at him pitifully and whispered through her lips, ¡°Can you give me some face?¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao chose to remain silent at the same time. They were obviously waiting to hear the development of the situation and to hear her make a fool of herself! If she were to really stay here and be put on the spot by Zuo Hancheng, then she would not have to go to A High anymore. She would not have to see those two bad friends for the rest of her life! Looking at her pleading eyes, this was indeed the first time Anhao had taken the initiative to beg for mercy in front of him. She knew that Zuo Hancheng would not do anything to her because he was injured, but he was too close to her. His breath was in front of her, and the fire in his eyes was too real. She could not tell what he was thinking. Anhao could only continue to hold her hands together in grievance. For the first time in her life, she acted cute. She blinked at Zuo Hancheng, pouted, pretended to be pitiful, and begged for mercy in a low voice. In the end, Zuo Hancheng only chuckled and leaned into her ear as if he was flirting with her. Suddenly, he said in a low voice,¡±¡±You don¡¯t want to embarrass yourself?¡± Anhao continued to blink her eyes as if she was begging for mercy. ¡°It depends on your performance.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled deeply. ¡°..¡±Anhao immediately turned to look at him. Suddenly, she raised her head and closed her eyes, waiting for him to kiss her. After waiting for a long time, Zuo Hancheng still did not move. She opened her eyes and saw him looking at her. The smile hidden in his eyes made her raise her hand and scratch her hair unnaturally. After suffering in his heart for a while, in order to save face in front of Chunchun and Huang Amao, he could only continue to lose his integrity! She suddenly kissed Zuo Hancheng on the cheek, but he still did not move. She moved her lips away and moved closer to his lips that were smiling faintly. When Anhao finally reacted, she realized that her IQhad reached a tragic level.. Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (10) Chapter 236: Sweet Daily Life of Healing (10) Translator: 549690339 She was so shocked by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sudden appearance that she forgot that she could cut off the computer¡¯s power by removing the battery! The new generation of brainless people was herself! She wanted to mourn for her intelligence! How was she going to survive in the future? She was about to resist when Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to resist. He held her head and kissed her lips. It was not until Anhao was led back to the bedroom downstairs that Zuo Hancheng held her in his arms. She did not dare to move, afraid that if she moved, someone would not care about the injury on her shoulder and would completely touch her. However, if his wound opened up, she would definitely be glared at by the doctor tomorrow. She felt a headache coming on whenever she thought of the gazes of the family doctors. She remembered that she had given Zuo Hancheng a few cold glances earlier today because she had accidentally added some pepper and seasonings that would hinder the healing of wounds in the food she had prepared for him. Fortunately, Gu Anhao was thick-skinned and had ignored the matter because Zuo Hancheng did not mind. She was a rising star in the world of culinary arts. Every time she cooked soup, she had to look at the recipe. She followed the recipe for everything. At that time, she was so hot-headed that she forgot that she couldn¡¯t add pepper, chili, soy sauce, and other things. After being hugged by Zuo Hancheng for a while, she could barely keep her eyes open. Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to continue checking the results of her studies, but didn¡¯t allow her to go to the second floor alone to sleep, Anhao could only surrender. Initially, she was still suffering from insomnia when she was in the bedroom upstairs. Now that she was stimulated by Zuo Hancheng, she was clearly very excited. However, with him hugging her like this and the two of them sleeping in the same bed, it did not take long for her sleepiness to find the door. Just before she fell asleep, Anhao whispered, ¡®¡±¡®1 should go buy some brain medicine for myself¡­lf this continues, not only will my brain cells die, but I might also gradually degenerate into an idiot.¡± Recently, she felt that her brain was becoming more and more unintelligent in front of him. She was indeed a flower of the motherland that had been harmed for too long. This flower had been crushed into a withered flower just like that. He did not know if Zuo Hancheng heard her whisper, but Anhao fell asleep immediately after she finished speaking. She placed her hand on his chest, and the last thing she thought of was¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure was indeed much better than those so-called A-list male stars. This kind of perfect figure that looked slim when dressed and fleshy when undressed, and was well-proportioned everywhere on his body, it would be a waste if he did not do a men¡¯s underwear advertisement.. Friday. Because of the International Chamber of Commerce, Zuo Hancheng had no choice but to go to the company for an international video conference before his injury had fully recovered. Early in the morning, Mobai dutifully drove to Liujing Garden to pick him up. When Zuo Hancheng took the car to the company, Anhao was lying on the table in the study room, looking at the test papers in front of her, dizzy. In the past two days, she had been slacking off in the name of taking care of Zuo Hancheng. She had only written two or three papers a day, but it was already Friday. She had to finish the remaining thirty papers in the remaining two days before she could accompany Huang Amao to T City. Just thinking about it made him feel that the world was dark¡­ Anhao rested her chin on her hand and looked down at the questions. Although her grades had improved a lot, and she could basically answer these questions as long as she treated them seriously, the high school questions were always more and more brain-burning. How could she stand such a high-load answering method? Zuo Hancheng clearly did not agree to let her and Huang Amao go to T City. Whether it was out of worry or out of strictness, although she knew that he was doing it for her own good, since she had promised Huang Amao, she could not stand him up. However, even if she started writing non-stop from now on, even if she didn¡¯t eat or sleep, she wouldn¡¯t be able to finish all the papers in two days. What if he couldn¡¯t answer all of them? Anhao took out her phone and sent Huang Amao an emergency message for help. In the end, Huang Amao called not long after and suggested that she try to please Zuo Hancheng. He also said that she had learned how to cook in the past two days and that she could send him the soup of love at noon since it was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s first day of work after he was discharged from the hospital. First, she would warm her husband¡¯s heart, then she would put in some good words and act coquettishly. Whatever method she could use to make him compromise and stop making things difficult for her, she would use it. Anhao felt that Huang Amao¡¯s method was feasible, so she threw down her pen and paper and ran out to buy all kinds of ingredients. Although the black-bone chicken soup she had tried to make two days ago was not very delicious, it was at least improving day by day. Moreover, it was at least cooked. Even if it did not taste good, at least it had the effect of replenishing blood and qi. Today, Anhao bought all the necessary ingredients to please Zuo Hancheng. She started to make soup when she got home. She also made a love-shaped lunch box. She cut the seaweed into small patterns and placed them on the rice to make a cute smiley face. When everything was ready, it was already 11:30 pm. She took a box of lunch and a thermos cup of soup and took a taxi to Shengling Group. Shengling Group¡¯s office building. Mobai pushed the door of the office.¡± President Zuo, your injuries have not fully recovered. You just returned to the company today and you already have such a huge workload. Will your body not be able to take it?¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Hancheng was looking at the data report on the computer screen on his desk. He said calmly,¡±¡±The video conference in the afternoon will start on time. Don¡¯t worry about me. It¡¯s just a shoulder injury. It won¡¯t be a problem if you don¡¯t do any intense exercise or get involved with Dali recently.¡± ¡°Alright, if you feel any discomfort, let me know immediately. I¡¯ll call the doctor over.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was still fixed on the data on the screen. Recently, the Yi Group¡¯s banks had been raising funds very quickly. It could be seen that Yi Zeyang was planning to play a big game within half a year.¡± ¡°Indeed, the Yi Group has been in A City for so many years and has a position that can¡¯t be underestimated. Now that their young master, Yi Zeyang, has returned for half a year, there have been many movements. First, he designed a plan and then raised funds from major banks.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.¡±¡±The Yi family is using the old general¡¯s connections in the army to try to get a share of the business, political, and military trades. In less than two months, their movements will become more obvious.¡± Mobai nodded his head, seeing that Zuo Hancheng had no intention of saying anything more. He thought for a moment and hesitated for words. When Zuo Hancheng felt something strange and looked at him, Mobai said softly, ¡°Chairman Wang and Miss Rong of Tiansheng are here..¡± Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: What Did She See (1) Chapter 237: What Did She See (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand that was on the mouse paused for a moment before he turned to look at Mobai. Mobai said,¡± Miss Rong knows that you don¡¯t like people who mix work and private matters together, so you haven¡¯t come to the company in person. But this time, it¡¯s Chairman Wang of Tiansheng Entertainment who personally sent an appointment letter. Moreover, Tiansheng Entertainment¡¯s entertainment media index has been soaring in recent years. It¡¯s almost as famous as Yixing.¡±¡± ¡± Now, because of Miss Rong¡¯s participation, she has been ranked number one in the media in recent days. Tiansheng has directly submitted the cooperation project this time, hoping to cooperate with Shengling Group. As an assistant, I can¡¯t reject this kind of thing¡­ So¡­¡± Mobai saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not show any emotion, so he continued, ¡°¡±1 can only ignore Miss Rong¡¯s matter for the time being and only talk about Tian Sheng¡¯s appointment. This is not within my power to refuse. Therefore, Chairman Wang of Tian Sheng has already arrived, and Miss Rong has also come.¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t say anything but moved his hand away from the mouse and looked at the snow outside the window. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Mobai asked softly,¡±Do you want to see me?¡± ¡°Since Tiansheng has come to discuss a cooperation project, regardless of whether you agree or reject it, you still have to meet with it. You can¡¯t reject it from afar. This is the rule of the business world.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was clear and calm. Rong Xue was aware of the rules of the business world, so she knew that Zuo Hancheng would not reject the chairman of Tiansheng Entertainment Group¡¯s visit. She had her reasons for coming with Chairman Wang. This was Rong Xue¡¯s cleverness and cunning. Five years could indeed change a simple person completely. The experience in the entertainment industry had also turned the once beautiful woman into a shrewd and used woman. Zuo Hancheng looked at the time and said, ¡°Let them come up.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Why don¡¯t we go to the reception room and ask them to come directly to the CEO¡¯s office?¡±Mobai was slightly surprised. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡± Shengling Group will not have any more projects with entertainment companies in the next three years. This is a dead end. No matter how much value Chairman Wang can create, it is not within my plans. Since the cooperation he wants will definitely not be negotiated, why bother going to the reception room? Just let them come up and have a heart-to-heart talk. Just send them away politely.¡±¡± Mobai thought about it and finally understood President Zuo¡¯s intentions. It was obvious that they were not talking about business by letting Chairman Wang and Rong Snow come here directly. They were only talking about friendship. Besides rejecting, they did not want to embarrass the other party. After all, there were some rules that could not be violated in the domestic business field. ¡°I understand.¡± Mobai nodded and turned to leave. Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze back to the computer screen. Suddenly, he received a message from his phone. He glanced at the phone on the table. ¡® Hancheng, I know you¡¯re not interested in the entertainment industry, but Tiansheng has a lot of influence in the country. I believe Tiansheng will be able to create huge value in the next few years. I hope to work with you. I also hope that even if we can¡¯t continue to be lovers, we can still be partners. It¡¯s better to compete together than to torture each other.¡¯ The sender¡¯s name was Rong Xue. He didn¡¯t know what was going on in A City today, but the traffic jam was especially serious. The taxi ride from Liujing Garden to Shengling Group actually took at most twenty minutes, but it took a full hour and a half because of the traffic jam. When Anhao finally arrived at Shengling Group, it was already past 1 pm. In order to give Zuo Hancheng a surprise, she did not call him to inform him in advance. She did not know if he had already eaten lunch. Anhao, who was originally in a good mood, was anxious because of the traffic jam along the way. After getting out of the car, she looked at the time and went straight to the main entrance of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters building. After all, she was an exception who often came to the company for tutoring. She knew that she was a special case by President Zuo¡¯s side. Although she didn¡¯t know her identity, the staff on the first floor of the company habitually let her take the special elevator without reporting or notifying her when they saw her. ¡°Thank you! ¡± Before she entered the elevator, Anhao smiled at the staff behind her. Just as she was about to enter the elevator, the elevator door opposite her suddenly opened at the same time. A well-dressed middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties walked out. What caught her attention wasn¡¯t the middle-aged man, but Lin Qing and Mobai who had walked out with him. As Anhao was afraid of the cold, she wore a thick coat and a woolen hat on her head. Lin Qing and Mobai did not notice her standing in front of the elevator. The two of them followed behind the middle-aged man as they walked out of the elevator and politely sent him off. ¡°Chairman Wang, although President Zuo has already explained to you the reason why he won¡¯t be able to work with the entertainment company for the next three years, President Zuo still feels that it¡¯s a pity. He hopes that we will have other opportunities to work together in the future.¡± Lin Qing followed behind the middle-aged man and spoke politely as they walked. Following that, Mobai also politely discussed some related matters with the man called Chairman Wang. Anhao didn¡¯t understand these business cooperation matters, but she could roughly hear that Zuo Hancheng had coldly rejected another company¡¯s cooperation project. Tsk, tsk. As expected of Shengling Group. There were at least a few hundred companies that came to apply for cooperation with them every day. There were also many who wanted to build a relationship with Shengling Group. No wonder Zuo Hancheng was so busy. In addition to his normal work, he had to deal with all kinds of external interpersonal relationships and connections between companies every day. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng was a person who seemed to be calm and collected, but he was very good at playing tricks. Although he had only returned to the country for five years and seemed unfamiliar with the human relations in the country, he was better than anyone else. Take the incident of being drugged as an example. Zuo Hancheng was a man who played a good hand. No one could deny it. Anhao felt that if she stayed by his side for a long time, she would slowly become a smart person. She smiled and turned to enter the elevator, but she suddenly heard Chairman Wang, who was almost at the door, say something. ¡°In front of Shengling Group, it¡¯s not embarrassing to be rejected. It¡¯s already an honor to have the opportunity to meet President Zuo today.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Miss Rong and President Zuo to be old friends. I didn¡¯t expect that I wouldn¡¯t be able to move President Zuo even if I played Miss Rong.¡± It seemed that the speculations about Yi Xing rejecting Miss Rong¡¯s offer were true. He only hoped that Miss Rong would stay in the office to make President Zuo give in and give Tiansheng a chance to strive for the top..¡± Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: What Did She See (2) Chapter 238: What Did She See (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was about to press the elevator button when she stopped. Rong Xue came to Shengling Group? Was she in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office now? ¡°Miss Gu, aren¡¯t you going up?¡± The staff member standing at the side saw that she did not press the elevator button for a long time and asked softly. Anhao turned around and looked at the door. Seeing that Mobai and Lin Qing were talking to Chairman Wang as they walked out of the door, she simply pressed the elevator and walked in. As the elevator slowly rose, her heart also rose. Zuo Hancheng had said before that the prerequisite for marriage was trust. She could not make wild guesses. Perhaps Miss Rong had come up with some way to pester her again, or perhaps she really had some serious business to discuss. Even though she repeatedly told herself not to think too much, Anhao could still think of countless things that might happen to Rong Xue in the CEO¡¯s office. She held the lunch box and the thermos filled with tonic soup tightly in her hands as she stared at the number on the elevator. When she finally stopped at the top floor, she strode out and turned around to walk directly in the direction of the CEO¡¯s office. Anhao couldn¡¯t hear the voices inside the office when she reached the door. She only glanced at the tightly shut door. She wanted to push the door open and walk in, but hesitated. She turned around and walked to a lounge at the side. After all, she had been here many times, and she still had the card that could open all the doors of the lounge. After entering the lounge, she saw everything in the CEO¡¯s office through a thick three-layer glass window that was not too big. What was the most melodramatic thing in the world? It was like a woman witnessing her husband hugging another woman. Although Rong Xue was hugging Zuo Hancheng, was it not considered hugging?! Anhao watched as Zuo Hancheng stood in his office. Rong Xue hugged him tightly behind him with red eyes. Anhao waited quietly for a minute. Zuo Hancheng did not push Rong Xue away for a whole minute. The way his ex-girlfriend was hugging him made him feel ambiguous, nostalgic, and sad. Even Anhao didn¡¯t want to go in and disturb such a warm scene. She could not see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. She could only see Rong Xue¡¯s hands hugging him tightly behind his back. She could see Rong Xue¡¯s tears flowing out of her eyes. She could see Rong Xue¡¯s entire body sticking tightly to his back. For a moment, Anhao felt like she was dreaming. Of course, she wasn¡¯t dreaming about her husband and ex-girlfriend being intimate. Instead, she was a Cinderella who had no one to rely on. She was hiding in a dark corner, dreaming that a prince would fall in love with her. Just as she was about to immerse herself in this unreal happiness, the dream was slowly waking up. Lin Qing was still discussing some company matters with Chairman Wang before he got into the car. Mobai had already turned around and returned to the company building because he received a call to return to the office immediately. ¡°Assistant MO, we saw that you were busy just now, so we didn¡¯t call to inform you. Just now, Miss Gu Anhao came. We saw her carrying a thermos flask and a lunch box. We guessed that she might have come to deliver tonics because she knew that President Zuo was injured, so we let her take the special elevator upstairs. ¡± The staff member saw Mobai walking through the door while answering the call, so he walked up and said. Mobai was on the phone when he suddenly turned to look at the staff member beside him. He put down the phone and said,¡±¡±What did you say?¡± The staff member looked at Mobai¡¯s expression in confusion as if something big had happened. He said in a daze, ¡°I mean, Gu Anhao, Miss Gu¡­lt¡¯s the little girl who often comes to the company and the CEO¡¯s office after work at night. She¡¯s here¡­¡¯ ¡°Already gone up?¡± Mobai frowned. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve been up there for a while.¡±The staff member said softly, but his answer was a little cautious because Mobai¡¯s expression seemed to be¡­ ¡°Assistant MO, is there anything else? We saw that Miss Gu and President Zuo¡¯s relationship should be unusual, so we didn¡¯t report it to the higher-ups. Did something happen¡­ ¡± Before the staff member could finish speaking, Mobai had already rushed to the elevator and pressed the up button in front of it. When Mobai entered the elevator and it started to rise, the elevator opposite him had already stopped on the first floor. The door slowly opened, and the person inside walked out. Mobai prayed wholeheartedly that Rong Xue would not do anything out of line in the office and let Gu Anhao see it. It would be difficult if Gu Anhao misunderstood! However, when Mobai rushed to the top floor and walked quickly to the door of the CEO¡¯s office, he saw that there was no one outside. Gu Anhao was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he had already entered? Mobai raised his hand and hesitated for a moment before knocking on the office door. ¡°Come in.¡± It was only when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from inside that Mobai hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Mobai saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the French window with a calm and indifferent expression. Although Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were a little red, she was standing two to three meters behind Zuo Hancheng. Only Gu Anhao was nowhere to be seen. Hearing Mobai¡¯s hesitant tone, Zuo Hancheng, who had been at work for many years and knew his assistant¡¯s personality and habits like the back of his hand, could tell that Mobai had something important to say. He turned around and looked at MO Bai.¡± Mobai hesitated for a moment and looked at Rong Xue, who was standing in the office and seemed to have no intention of leaving. ¡°President Zuo, Miss Gu came by just now¡­¡± Although it did not seem appropriate to talk about this when Rong Xue was here, Mobai was worried that there would be a misunderstanding or something would happen since he did not know where Gu An was. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression froze, as if he suddenly remembered something. He turned his head and looked at the resting room next door, which was only separated by a small glass panel. When Rong Xue heard Mobai¡¯s words, she was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°¡±Han Cheng, I¡­¡± ¡°When did she come up?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear Rong Xue¡¯s voice. He looked at Mobai with his cold black eyes, and in an instant, he was so cold that no one dared to approach him. Mobai shook his head.¡± I don¡¯t know. I guess I missed Miss Gu when Secretary Lin and I went to see Director Wang off.¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng picked up the phone on his desk and called Anhao. Although the call went through, no one picked up. His expression was cold as he continued to call her while walking out of the office. Rong Xue turned around and called him,¡¯¡±¡®Han City!¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already left the office. While no one answered the phone, Zuo Hancheng turned around and saw the thermos flask and lunch box on the silver-white trash can beside the elevator door.. Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: What Did She See (3) Chapter 239: What Did She See (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was sitting in a taxi on the side of the plaza outside Shengling Group. Her phone rang once before it was muted. She lowered her head and looked at the phone screen that kept lighting up. She saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name on the screen. She did not pick up or hang up. She just leaned her head against the car window and remained silent. She did not want to do anything willfully, nor did she want to cry and make a scene. This was not her character. Even though there was a moment when she really wanted to rush in and slap Rong Xue before leaving. She had endured it for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sake, but she needed to calm down. She just wanted to find a place to sit quietly for a while or find a friend to talk to. Perhaps she could divert her attention. When she came back to her senses and thought about these things, she would be much more clear-headed. Zuo Hancheng had called her a few times, but she did not pay much attention to it. When her phone screen finally stopped lighting up, she turned off her phone and put it in her bag. In the blink of an eye, she saw the taxi passing by the widest river in A City. She looked at the river that was still glistening even when it snowed in winter. However, she couldn¡¯t feel better. Didn¡¯t you say that you could take it up and let it go? Didn¡¯t you say that you should always be awake and not fall too deep into it? Didn¡¯t she say that she should keep an appropriate distance from her feelings and never let herself fall under that man¡¯s trousers so easily? What happened to trust? Gu Anhao, what¡¯s wrong with you? Could it be that he had really fallen in love with her to the point where he couldn¡¯t pull her out? Could it be that a mere hug is enough to make you feel so uncomfortable? It was worse than hearing about Yi Zeyang¡¯s engagement, worse than seeing Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran together, worse than being misunderstood and isolated by everyone in school¡­ Why was it so uncomfortable¡­ Anhao sniffed and wiped the corner of her eyes. Fortunately, she did not cry. Her vision was becoming more and more blurry. Perhaps it was because the snow outside the car was too heavy and covered her eyes, or perhaps it was because of the fatigue caused by her tutoring. It was definitely not because of her tears. It was not until a drop of warmth landed on her hand that she suddenly lowered her head to look at the wet spot on the back of her hand. With a ¡± wah , she leaned against the car window and began to cry loudly. The driver was shocked and immediately braked.¡±¡±Little girl, are you alright?¡± Anhao cried harder and harder. She was intoxicated from crying when she heard the driver¡¯s voice. She looked up at him with her red eyes.¡±Do I look like I¡¯m okay?¡± The driver was embarrassed.¡± But, little girl, where are you going?¡± You didn¡¯t say anything after you got into the car. I thought you were driving in this direction, but you didn¡¯t say where you were going when we were about to cross the river.¡± Anhao looked up at the river and wiped her tears.¡±¡±l want to jump into the river!¡± The driver was so scared that he immediately turned off the engine.¡±Little girl, don¡¯t take things too hard. If you take things too hard, you can¡¯t take your own life! Why don¡¯t I send you to the police station? If you have anything to say, tell the police. You¡¯re still young, so don¡¯t take things too hard. You can¡¯t jump into this river¡­¡± Anhao sniffed and sniffled as she replied,¡±¡±My father doesn¡¯t love my mother. My biological mother died of illness a few years ago. She was bullied when she was young, but she couldn¡¯t bully others when she grew up. Now that she¡¯s married, her husband has been snatched away. I don¡¯t know what I did in my previous life to offend the heavens and make my life so miserable¡­¡± She continued to stutter as she looked at the river not far away.¡± Don¡¯t you think I have no hope of living like this? Living is a waste of air, and no one will remember me if I die. I¡¯ll just jump into the river and commit suicide to get on the social news or something. That way, at least my name will be left on the newspapers¡­¡± The chauffeur saw that she seemed to be crying very sadly.¡±Young lady, why don¡¯t I send you to the police station¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going. I¡¯m not going anywhere. I want to jump into the river!¡± The driver was frightened.¡± Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. Don¡¯t take things too hard. What else do you want other than jumping into the river? Even though I don¡¯t have much ability, I can¡¯t watch a young lady like you die in vain.¡± Anhao sobbed and looked at him with tears in her eyes.¡±Uncle driver, I forgot to bring my wallet¡­ The chauffeur was stunned for a moment before he didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.¡±Alright, alright, I don¡¯t want the fare. Just tell me where you want to go. I¡¯ll send you there for free, okay?¡± Anhao sniffed again before taking out a tissue from her bag to wipe her tears and snot.¡±¡±Then send me to the station.¡± The driver nodded and quickly started the engine to drive away from the riverside. Twenty minutes later- Anhao stood at the roadside of the bus station and waved goodbye to the driver. Then, she turned around and walked back to the bus station. It was only after the driver sighed and drove away that Anhao stopped and turned around to glance at the taxi. When someone was in a bad mood and didn¡¯t tell them the route, they started to drive around. He drove so far to get out of the way. Did he really think that when he was in a bad mood, he couldn¡¯t tell that he was trying to cheat money by taking a detour? The meter had already shown more than 100 yuan. If she hadn¡¯t put on a crying scene just now, she would have been ripped off by the taxi driver. Fortunately, Gu Anhao was more experienced than the driver. Not only did she get a free ride on the sightseeing bus, but she also didn¡¯t spend any money. Anhao raised her hand and wiped her eyes that had turned red from crying. She took a deep breath and looked up at the bus stop in front of her before walking in In the CEO¡¯s office of Shengling Group. Zuo Hancheng sat behind his desk and looked at the tonic soup in the thermos cup and the smiley face lunch in the lunch box. He did not speak for a long time. Rong Xue had already left. Mobai stood in the office and looked at Zuo Hancheng. He did not dare to say anything. He only looked at the soup and rice in the thermos flask and thought that Miss Gu must have misunderstood something when she saw Miss Rong and President Zuo together. On the other end of the phone was the security room of Liujing Garden.¡±Mr. Zuo, we¡¯ve already checked. There¡¯s no record of Miss Gu returning to the Gilded Landscape Garden in the past hour.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the phone and his gaze fell back on the thermos flask on the table. Mobai couldn¡¯t tell what President Zuo was thinking, but he could clearly feel the low pressure in the office. He didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. Zuo Hancheng picked up his phone again and dialed Anhao¡¯s number. A cold female voice came from the other end of the line.¡±l¡¯m sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable¡­¡¯ Mobai was wondering where Anhao was going when he suddenly heard the ear-piercing sound of the chair scraping against the floor as it retreated. When she looked up, she was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng standing up and walking out of the office with a cold expression on his face.. Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: What Did She See (4) Chapter 240: What Did She See (4) Translator: 549690339 The black BentBentley sped along the road of A City. It was a cold winter day. The car window was rolled down. The moment Zuo Hancheng passed another intersection, he suddenly braked and looked at a figure passing by on the other side of the road. A young girl was wearing the same coat as Gu Anhao. Her hair was just below her ears, and she was carrying a canvas bag. She was standing in front of a cinema, holding her boyfriend¡¯s hand happily and discussing how popular the upcoming movie was. Staring at the back view that was not Gu Anhao at all, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and placed it on his forehead. He looked at the young lady who was holding onto his boyfriend¡¯s arm. The two young and energetic people had all kinds of expectations for that kind of popular movie. They even took out their phones and stood in front of the cinema door to take selfies, smiling happily. When the red light turned green, Zuo Hancheng retracted his gaze and continued to drive forward. His black eyes were still searching for every street that Gu Anhao might have walked through and landed on every corner that she might have stopped at. However, after searching for two hours, it was already evening. The black Bentley was parked by the roadside. Zuo Hancheng sat in the car and looked at the pedestrians coming and going through the open window. There was a moment when he suddenly realized. The only places Gu Anhao frequented were the school and Liu Jing Garden. When she was alone, she didn¡¯t even have the time to go to a cafe that young people liked. He had never brought her to the bustling streets that these young people liked. He had never brought her to the movies. Those things that he once thought he understood and saw through her were like a slap to his face in an instant. Even if he did not do anything with Rong Xue in the office, Anhao must have seen the scene when Rong Xue took the initiative to rush over and say something. She must have misunderstood, which was why the little girl suddenly disappeared in a fit of anger. He understood her temper. However, at this moment, he, who had always been well-prepared, realized that he did not know her very well. He didn¡¯t even know where else she could hide other than A Gao and her family. The only people he knew were Su Chunchun and Huang Mao, the two classmates who were the closest to Anhao. However, he also knew that these two classmates were not in City A recently. When Anhao was alone, she would not go anywhere to have fun. Mobai received a call from Zuo Hancheng. Did you find her?¡± ¡± Activate Sheng Ling¡¯s GPS stations and all the contacts that can find Gu Anhao. Check all the bars and nightclubs in A City first. We¡¯ll check the other hotels and inns after dark¡­ At this point, Zuo Han looked at the flying snow outside the window and said coldly, Including the airport and the train station.¡± ¡°President Zuo, Miss Gu must have misunderstood something. In my opinion, she probably won¡¯t make a mountain out of a molehill to leave A City. Besides, she doesn¡¯t have much money on her, so she shouldn¡¯t be so willful.¡± ¡°She is indeed not willful.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold as he rolled up the car window and said,¡±¡±But she¡¯s heartless.¡± Mobai was taken aback.¡± What do you mean, President Zuo?¡± he asked, puzzled.¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t answer but hung up the phone and said, ¡°¡±Send someone to investigate immediately.¡± After saying that, he threw his phone aside. It was already the end of January, and it was already the middle of winter. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was instantly covered in white. It was sparkling, but it reflected the emptiness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart. Gu Anhao¡¯s heartlessness was her so-called protective layer. Since she was young, she had learned how to protect herself. Even after so long, she had not completely let him into her world. Even when he was about to remove all the thorns from her body, such a misunderstanding had occurred. She was afraid that she had already removed the thorns and put them back on her body. She would not allow him to come near her easily. He had to find her before she could put up her guard again. Otherwise, that girl would do anything heartless. ¡°What the hell are are you doing? You suddenly want to go to T City ahead of time. Why didn¡¯t you take the high-speed rail? Why did you come to take a bus? It¡¯ll take 17 hours to get to T City.¡± Huang Amao was already motion-sick, and his face was pale. He sat in the bus and complained while looking out the window. ¡°Oh my god, it¡¯s snowing so heavily now. We don¡¯t have to register our identities on this bus. If anything happens on the way, even if we die, no one will know who we are.¡± Huang Amao had been nagging for more than three hours since they got in the car. Anhao, however, remained calm as she looked at the snovvy road outside the window. ¡°Don¡¯t you think this car is driving very smoothly? Why was it dangerous to take the bus? It didn¡¯t matter even if it was 17 hours. After all, they didn¡¯t need to change trains along the way. They could just sleep like this and arrive at noon tomorrow.¡± Huang Amao looked at her speechlessly.¡± If we take the high-speed rail to T City, it will only take seven hours. If we leave today, we can eat and drink in T City for the whole day tomorrow morning. Now, we have to sleep on the bus. Am I wronged?!¡¯¡±¡® Anhao did not refute Huang Amao¡¯s complaints. After all, she had borrowed money from Huang Amao to avoid spending the money in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s card. Huang Amao had provided her with food, accommodation, and fun for the next three days. She would not go against her temporary parents. She was really regretting it now. She had more than twenty thousand yuan in savings, but she had spent it all on a ring for Zuo Hancheng. After buying so many things, she only bought a man¡¯s ring. It wasn¡¯t even a wedding ring. She was so angry. Wasn¡¯t this a clear sign that the heavens were hinting that she and Zuo Hancheng would not end well? The final ending would definitely be a different story. He did not expect this ending to come true so quickly. Poor her twenty-six thousand yuan. Actually, it was not that she could not spend Zuo Hancheng¡¯s money. After all, she had some properties under her name. However, she did not want to touch them, nor did she want to spend the card. The reason why she took the bus was because she knew that if Zuo Hancheng wanted to look for her, he would be able to find her in half an hour if she took the high-speed rail or plane. After all, those were places where she needed to submit her identity card. Her heart was in a mess. She did not know how she should feel about Rongxue. She had only been able to fight when she was by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, but after witnessing what had happened at Shengling Group today, she realized that she had no fighting power at all. She just wanted to be alone for a few days. Other than Huang Amao, she couldn¡¯t find anyone else who could accompany her to relax.. Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Zuo Hancheng, No! (1) Chapter 241: Zuo Hancheng, No! (1) Translator: 549690339 T City had the same winter as A City, and it was equally cold. Anhao didn¡¯t go home to get her things, so she didn¡¯t have any luggage. She only had her clothes and some change and documents in her canvas bag. Oh, and two books. Damn it, when had she ever carried a book in her bag? When she reached Huang Amao¡¯s small hotel, she threw the book into the room because the concert that Huang Amao wanted to watch would only start tomorrow night. After the two of them had some fast food outside the stadium where the concert was held, they were planning to return to the hotel. However, when they passed by the stadium, they found out that another famous singer was holding a concert today. It had been more than half an hour since the concert started, and there were not many seats left. The scalpers outside had already reduced the price. Anhao and Huang Amao looked at the price of the scalpers ¡®tickets and bought two tickets at the back. The two of them only spent 300 yuan. This was the lowest ticket price in history for a certain singer who was holding a concert! It was also thanks to the scalpers that tickets for the singer¡¯s concert couldn¡¯t be booked online! The two of them ran into the stadium happily after picking up the bargain. After finding a seat, they began to blend into the light sticks that filled the stadium. ¡°Little sister Little sister Little sister Anhao and Huang Amao were also extremely excited. It was their first time attending a concert and singing with the entire audience. They even found that every song was so familiar. The concert had already reached its climax. Halfway through, the singer went down to change his clothes and walked back on stage. This time, he changed his tone to a sad one. When the music started, Anhao¡¯s excited expression gradually calmed down. ¡°I can always smile and play your supporting role, suffering behind your back. If you don¡¯t want it and want to quit, you should do it as soon as possible. I don¡¯t have to grow old together¡­ I can ignore my feelings and continue to please you for love, and look coldly at your pride. ¡°If it¡¯s too difficult to have feelings, then it¡¯s better to stop falling in love as soon as possible. Even if I¡¯m infatuated with your hug, it¡¯s fine as long as I forget¡­ Huang Amao heard Anhao¡¯s singing and immediately turned to look at her with a shocked expression. He even saw tears flashing in Anhao¡¯s eyes and quickly reached out to push her. ¡°Gu Anhao, are you really crazy? You don¡¯t have to cry just to listen to a concert, do you?¡± However, Anhao acted as if she did not hear her and continued to sing along at the top of her voice,¡¯¡±¡®lf you don¡¯t want to quit, you should quit as soon as possible. I don¡¯t have to grow old with you!.. Even if I¡¯m infatuated with your embrace, it¡¯s good that I forgot about it¡­¡± Anhao kept humming the song until she appeared on stage, as if she was intoxicated by herself. Back at the hotel, Anhao was still humming in the bathroom when she took a shower.¡±But I¡¯m not brave enough. I¡¯m always worried and soft-hearted for you. After all, we¡¯ve been in love for a long time. I don¡¯t want anyone to be hurt¡­¡¯ Huang Amao almost went crazy from listening to this. He suddenly ran over and opened the bathroom door, looking at the naked Anhao standing inside.¡±Why did you suddenly go crazy and come to T City with me in advance? Why did you go crazy and take the bus? Are you hiding from someone? Gu Anhao, are you heartbroken?¡± The splashing water stopped. Anhao grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. She rolled her eyes at Huang Amao arrogantly.¡± You¡¯re so annoying! How dare you peek at me when I¡¯m bathing!¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched when he saw her completely different state. He rolled his eyes at her speechlessly. ¡°Stop it. I have everything you have. It¡¯s just that my breasts are not as big as yours. Do you have to show off?¡± As she said that, she turned around and followed Anhao, who had already walked out with a towel wrapped around her body, to the bed. Seeing Anhao¡¯s expression as if she had just had an epiphany after listening to the concert, she said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Did something happen between him and the left BOSS?¡± When she heard the words ¡± Boss Zuo,¡± Anhao glanced at her.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you hear what I was singing? If you want to quit, you have to quit as soon as possible!¡± ¡°What?¡± Huang Amao looked at her strangely.¡±¡±Are you out of your mind? I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you understand it or not. Anyway, I had an epiphany after singing for an entire night. ¡°Anhao lay on the bed with a comfortable expression on her face, wrapped in a towel. She fiddled with her wet hair and said, ¡°¡±Since it won¡¯t be mine sooner or later, why do I have to be so uneasy every day and not know if I should really get close to it? I¡¯d better quit as soon as possible to avoid getting hurt in the future.¡± Huang Amao was getting more and more understanding. She still did not have the spirituality and pain of Su Chunchun in relationships. She only shook her head.¡±Fine, you continue to be crazy. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s a pity that I booked a standard room with two beds today. If it was a double bed room, I would have slept with you tonight ¡± Cut it out. Why are you pretending to be a married woman? You should go back to Boss Zuo and show off your style. I¡¯m not interested in women.¡±¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at her. The degree of the fire today was simply breathtaking. How could your oppa have such a fire today?¡± ¡°Now that you mention it, you¡¯ve reminded me.¡± Huang Amao suddenly walked out of the bathroom and said without changing,¡±¡±My oppa seems to have a night scene to shoot in the country today. I saw it on the fan forum before. He said that he¡¯s filming in the mountains in the eastern suburbs of T City today. Anhao, do you want to come with me to visit him?¡± ¡°Eastern suburbs of T City?¡± Anhao took out her phone to check the location.¡±¡±Come on, it¡¯s already eleven o¡¯clock in the middle of the night in such a remote and desolate place. You want me to accompany you to the mountains in the eastern suburbs to watch a Korean film? You¡¯re the one who¡¯s out of your mind!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit by Huang Amao¡¯s pillow. ¡°You¡¯re the Korean! Your entire family is Koreans! Our oppa is so handsome and gentle! If you dare to call such a hard-working artiste with such good acting skills, such great singing and dancing skills, a Korean, believe it or not, I¡¯ll smash you to death!¡± Anhao took the pillow off her head speechlessly and rolled her eyes at her.¡±Huang Amao, as long as you¡¯re not obsessed with K-pop stars, you¡¯re perfectly normal. As long as you talk about those Koreans, you¡¯re like a fangirl. I really can¡¯t stand you.¡± ¡°Stop it. Just tell me if you want to accompany me or not.¡±Huang Amao put his hands on his waist and glared at her. I can see my oppa at a closer distance than at a concert. If I¡¯m lucky, I might even get a photo and an autograph!¡± Anhao frowned and hesitated.¡± But it¡¯s already so late. They¡¯re filming a night scene in such a desolate mountain. Wouldn¡¯t it be unsafe for us to go now?¡±¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s because it¡¯s so late, so only the two of us will visit the set.. That¡¯s why the chances of getting an autograph and a photo will be higher! Quick, change your clothes and accompany me! ¡° Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: Zuo Hancheng, No! (2) Chapter 242: Zuo Hancheng, No! (2) Translator: 549690339 In the taxi, Anhao was so sleepy that she could barely open her eyes. Huang Amao was so excited that he kept pointing in the east direction. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. It¡¯s over there. That¡¯s the Eastern Jiujiang Mountain, right? Driver, hurry up. If you¡¯re any later, you¡¯ll miss their night filming.¡± When the taxi driver saw the two young girls driving to the barren mountains in the eastern suburbs in the middle of the night, he was originally suspicious of what was going on with the two little girls. When he heard this, he suddenly realized and said,¡±So you ran up the mountain to chase after stars.¡± Huang Amao glanced at the driver.¡± What? You also know that our XX oppa is in China?¡± Do you know that he¡¯s filming in the eastern suburbs?¡± The driver couldn¡¯t understand these young girls ¡®aesthetics and hobbies, but he couldn¡¯t mock them too obviously. He just snorted. ¡°I don¡¯t know what XX you¡¯re talking about, but in recent years, I¡¯ve heard that some young girls run to deserted places at night to chase after stars. In the end, not only did they not chase after the stars, but they also got into trouble.¡± Huang Amao only wanted to see the oppa who had come to China with great difficulty to film and hold a concert. He didn¡¯t listen to the driver at all, nor did he hear the reminder in his words. Anhao, who was sitting at the back of the taxi, had already understood what the driver meant. She immediately said,¡±Huang Amao, why don¡¯t we not go? Let¡¯s just go to your oppa¡¯s concert tomorrow.¡± ¡°We¡¯re almost at Eastern Jiujiang. Why are we still going back?¡±Huang Amao turned around and looked at her.¡± Oh, it¡¯s okay. T City¡¯s security isn¡¯t that chaotic. Besides, a big star like XX is on the mountain. There must be a lot of security guards nearby. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±¡± Anhao was speechless. Seeing how excited Huang Amao was, she didn¡¯t continue to interrupt her excitement. She just looked out of the window at the dark night and sighed. She had been Huang Amao¡¯s sugar daddy for the past three days in T City. Huang Amao was now her sugar daddy, and he was so nice to her. It seemed that he had to accompany her to the mountains in Eastern Jiujiang tonight. An hour later. ¡± I¡¯m here, I¡¯m here, thank you, driver!¡± Huang Amao was usually a very rational person. The only flaw was that he was too obsessed with these K-pop stars. In this aspect, he was even more unreliable than Anhao and Chunchun. After getting out of the car, the taxi driver looked at the two girls worriedly. Although the two of them were not dressed up in such a fancy way, he could not help but say before driving away,¡± Little girl, please be careful. You came to the mountains in the suburbs in the middle of winter. Remember to leave some battery on your phone. If anything happens, you can call for help. Don¡¯t take my words lightly¡­¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Huang Amao had already quickly walked down the mountain. Anhao turned around and nodded at the driver who had been reminding her before she turned around and followed him. Although it was winter, the mountain road was still easy to walk through. It should have been repaired by the nearby villages or the government. There were some stone roads on the mountain road for easy passage. Huang Amao had specially brought a flashlight with him before coming. Because there was a film crew filming at the top of the mountain, there were a few nanny vans at the foot of the mountain. There were also some lights around. When the two of them saw those nanny vans, they became even more courageous and walked all the way up the mountain. When they finally reached the top of the mountain, they saw a production crew filming. It was already past one o¡¯clock in the middle of the night in the middle of winter. Other than the production crew and a few actors who were going to shoot a night scene, there was no one else around. There were no security guards around to stop them. Huang Amao dragged Anhao excitedly and ran over. The crew saw two young ladies running over. One of the young ladies was taking pictures with her phone. It was obvious that she was a fan, so they ignored them. Huang Amao, on the other hand, ran to the crew and asked them all sorts of questions. He even asked when XX would finish filming. As he asked, he took photos and uploaded them online. Anhao looked bored as she found a small actress¡¯s resting spot and sat down temporarily. No one cared about the surrounding seats in the middle of the night anyway. Huang Amao had been taking pictures back and forth around the filming area. She had turned off the flash. Although she was as excited as a flea and kept taking pictures, it didn¡¯t affect their filming progress. Although she felt that it was strange for these little fans to come to such a place to visit in the middle of the night, she couldn¡¯t be bothered. Just as Huang Amao finally got the chance to take advantage of XX¡¯s temporary break to wait for the next scene to be filmed, he ran over to ask for an autograph. Standing in front of his idol, he was so excited that he could barely breathe. Anhao raised her eyebrows from afar. Although she had taken such a big risk to come here, it was worth it to see Huang Amao so happy. Suddenly, the assistant director inadvertently saw Anhao sitting not far behind. He was stunned for a moment because the lights were dim and he couldn¡¯t see her clearly, so he walked over to her. He walked closer and looked at her carefully before smiling. He turned around and walked quickly behind the director, whispering something to him. Anhao felt that it was strange, but then the director turned around and looked in her direction. After a while, he nodded at the assistant director, who then walked over quickly in a good mood. ¡°Little girl, we¡¯re shooting a night scene tonight. There¡¯s a last-minute change in the script. We need an actress to run behind the male lead and say a few words. Do you want to give it a try?¡± Logically speaking, 90% of the people who came to the production team to watch but were suddenly chosen by the director to be an extra with lines would nod excitedly. However, Anhao¡¯s mind seemed to be missing a string. Perhaps she was extremely sleepy, but she just sat there with her chin in her hand and looked at the assistant director strangely.¡±Ah?¡± ¡°You¡¯re here with your friend to visit XX, that Korean celebrity¡¯s class, right?¡± the assistant director said with a smile. How about this, as long as you go and act for a while, we¡¯ll give you a thousand yuan as an extra fee and you can even take a few photos with that XX.¡± ¡°The treatment is so good?¡± Anhao looked at the assistant director with an even stranger expression. She had heard that the professional extras in the film studio only cost 80 to 90 yuan an hour. She actually earned 1,000 yuan with just two sentences. This was too strange. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, the assistant director smiled and said,¡±l have no choice. Who asked you to look like Alice Snow?¡± Anhao¡¯s strange expression instantly turned cold. She looked at the smiling assistant director expressionlessly and said, ¡°¡±Who do you think I look like?¡± ¡°Alice Snow, that internationally famous Chinese superstar. Don¡¯t you know how much you look like her?¡± ¡°I was there just now. Because the lights were dim, when I turned around, I thought I was seeing things. In the end, I ran over and confirmed that I was not wrong. Although your hair is not long and you are young, you do have the smell of Alice.. Chapter 243 - Chapter 243: Zuo Hancheng, No! (3) Chapter 243: Zuo Hancheng, No! (3) Translator: 549690339 The cold wind on the mountaintop whistled past, and Anhao suddenly felt that her bones were cold. The assistant director saw that the young lady¡¯s eyes had suddenly become very indifferent. He did not know what was wrong with her. He originally wanted to ask her if she wanted to act, but from her face, he could tell that her current mood did not seem to be suitable for the role they had arranged. The little girl nowadays was really arrogant. She actually missed such a good opportunity just like that. The assistant director shook his head with a regretful look and did not ask her any more questions. He turned around and went back to the production team to continue working. Anhao looked at her feet calmly. She looked like Rong Xue? Was that so? She did not realize that Rong Xue was always shockingly beautiful on the red carpet with heavy makeup. She had never thought that she would look like Rong Xue when she was always in the dust. Even though Rong Xue had once stood in front of her, her impression of her was still that noble and cold Rong Xue. He had not watched many of Rong Xue¡¯s other movies, and he had never paid attention to her appearance with light makeup or without makeup. However, the assistant director had said with certainty that he looked like Rong Xue. Anhao suddenly remembered that Yi Zeyang had stared at her face for a long time and told her that Zuo Hancheng was not a good person. Yi Zeyang must have realized something at that time, but he didn¡¯t want to hurt her self-esteem, so he didn¡¯t tell her directly. Anhao¡¯s calm gaze slowly lifted. She didn¡¯t want to admit that her heart, which had already calmed down, felt like it was being pricked by needles. Now, he was not only uncomfortable, but he also felt that he could not breathe. There were countless things in her mind that were shaking and circling, forcing her to almost kill someone. She took a few deep breaths and dug her nails into her palms. Was that so? Was this it? Zuo Hancheng, you helped a little lunatic whom you¡¯ve only met once. You¡¯ve known her for less than twenty-four hours, yet you¡¯re willing to marry a strange little girl. Is the real reason because this girl looks so much like the love of your life? ¡°Anhao, Anhao, where¡¯s your phone?¡± Huang Amao suddenly ran over and looked at her excitedly.¡±Quickly lend me your phone. I¡¯ve been taking photos and uploading them online. I¡¯m doing a live photo broadcast on Weibo. Many fans are paying attention. My phone is about to run out of battery.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and took out her phone from her bag and handed it to her. Huang Amao didn¡¯t notice her emotions and only looked at her strangely. After taking the phone, he said in surprise, ¡°Why did you turn off your phone? No wonder I didn¡¯t hear your phone ring since yesterday. It turns out that you turned off your phone.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t explain. She had turned off her phone because she didn¡¯t want to answer the call. Secondly, she didn¡¯t want anyone to be so resourceful as to easily find her phone¡¯s GPS location. But now, it seemed like she was overthinking things. In fact, some things were already destined. Just like the time when she sat in front of the French window in the hotpot restaurant and pointed at Rong Xue on the big screen to praise her, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expressionless face gradually turned cold. It was destined that he would never really accept her in his heart. Everything was just an illusion. Perhaps he was now deeply in love with her, so why would he come looking for a little girl who had run to T City because she was unhappy? Why would he use GPS technology to find her? Huang Amao turned on Anhao¡¯s phone and ran over to take pictures. As he took pictures, he muttered, ¡®¡±¡®The signal here is really bad. It takes so long to send a picture¡­¡± After more than two hours, Anhao and Huang Amao stood at the top of the mountain and watched the crew leave one after another. Although Huang Amao had gotten the autograph and photo that she wanted, the Korean celebrity had only come to China to make money. She would not care about one or two fans at all. She did not ask the crew to take them down the mountain. It was not until Huang Amao and Anhao were thrown on the top of the mountain and watched the cars slowly descend the mountain that Anhao turned to look at Huang Amao, who was speechless.¡±¡±ls this the idol you¡¯ve been infatuated with for more than two years?¡± Huang Amao touched his nose and smiled.¡±¡±They¡¯re idols, of course they won¡¯t let their fans get into their cars. It¡¯s fine, aren¡¯t there a few street lamps on the mountain road? Let¡¯s go too.¡± Anhao was sleepy, cold, and uncomfortable. There was still a big knot in her heart, so she couldn¡¯t bring herself to argue with Huang Amao. The two of them walked down the mountain. The production team¡¯s cars drove very fast and disappeared down the mountain in the blink of an eye. Huang Amao was also gradually disappointed by the coldness of the crew. He loosened his grip on the autograph book a little and threw the autograph book and the phone with the photo into his bag. He sighed faintly. ¡± Anhao, I suddenly feel that it¡¯s good to like some people from afar. If you really get close to them or understand them, you¡¯ll realize that everything is just an illusion. The warm smile on the screen is just a professional marketing method. The person on the screen is not the real person at all¡­¡± ¡°You finally know now?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± That¡¯s fine too. Although I came here with you in the middle of the night to suffer the cold, at least I¡¯ve made a little fan like you sober up. In the future. I finally don¡¯t have to see you with a celebrity poster on your bed constantly shouting ¡®oppa¡¯, and I don¡¯t have to see you change husbands every day. Let¡¯s go back.¡¯¡±¡® Huang Amao¡¯s mood also became low as she followed Anhao down the mountain. The lights on the mountain road were very dim, and there were actually less than ten lights up and down. When they finally reached the winding road in the middle of the mountain, the two of them were in despair. They were cold, tired, and their legs hurt. As they were walking on the winding mountain road, they suddenly heard someone whistling behind them. There was also a car that they had ignored slowly driving over from behind. Anhao and Huang Amao turned around and saw a brand new van coming from behind. The van stopped beside them and the window was rolled down. There were four or five men inside whistling at them.¡±Two little girls, it¡¯s so late. Why are you walking down the mountain like this? How cold was it? Do you want to take our car down?¡± They recognized at a glance that the few people in the car were probably unknown extras hired by the production team nearby. They drove down the mountain and followed them all the way. Anhao and Huang Amao were alarmed when they heard their whistles and perverted expressions. The two of them didn¡¯t speak.. Just as the person in the car was about to open the door for them to get in, Anhao grabbed Huang Amao¡¯s hand and said in a low voice,¡±¡±One, two, three¡­Run!¡± Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: Zuo Hancheng, No! (4) Chapter 244: Zuo Hancheng, No! (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°One, two, three¡­Run!¡± The men in the van were about to get out of the van to pick up the two good-looking girls and play with them. However, as soon as they opened the door, the two of them ran away. Their speed was so fast that the men in the van were stunned. ¡°F * ck, coming up the mountain in the middle of the night to chase after stars. I thought they were two idiots. I didn¡¯t expect them to be so shrewd.¡± The driver spat out of the window and laughed again. ¡°Even if two people with four legs can¡¯t outrun my four tires, we¡¯ve just finished filming in the wilderness and we¡¯ve met two young girls who are so tender that they¡¯re about to burst out of the water. If we don¡¯t enjoy ourselves, we¡¯ll be letting down our brothers, right?¡± ¡°Quickly! Hurry up! Don¡¯t let them escape!¡± The van sped down the mountain road. Anhao and Huang Amao kept running forward. Fortunately, they were the type who could run normally in school, but they ran far away in the blink of an eye. However, both of them knew that the hooligans in the car just now were probably the local ruffians. They would not let them go easily in the middle of the night. ¡°Anhao, what should we do?¡± Huang Amao asked as he ran. If they drove, they would definitely catch up!¡± Anhao kept looking around as she ran. She heard the sound of a car coming from behind them. She gritted her teeth and suddenly dragged Ah Mao to a place where someone had dug out a large piece of the mountain. The moment the two of them crouched down and hid near the big rock in front of the mountain, the van sped away in front of them. Hiding behind a rock, Huang Amao said regretfully,¡±¡±Anhao, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of saying this now?¡±Anhao said as she peeked out.¡±lt¡¯s convenient for them to drive up and down the mountain. When they realize that the two of us aren¡¯t in front, they will definitely drive the car back to look for us. Even if the two of us ran ten times faster than we are now, they would still be able to catch up.¡± ¡°How many men were in the car just now?¡±Huang Amao asked. Anhao didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and shook her head.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m not sure, but there seem to be no less than five of them. They should be here to earn money as extras. They should be very familiar with the roads around here. This is even more disadvantageous for the two of us to escape.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Huang Amao was discouraged by Anhao¡¯s analysis.¡¯¡±¡® I thought you knew Taekwondo, and I also knew some martial arts. If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll just fight them head-on. But there are so many men. The two of us don¡¯t seem to be able to do it¡­ Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She turned to look at the direction of Mount Pan Road Duke.¡±When we ran down just now, I found that there was a very small mountain road on the other side of the road. It was not very easy to walk, but their car could not drive down.¡± ¡°Where are we going down the mountain?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s eyes lit up.¡± ¡°We can only go down the mountain before they reach the exit below. Otherwise, the result will be the same.¡±Anhao gritted her teeth. She suddenly grabbed Huang Amao¡¯s hand and walked out from behind the rock. They ran back to the place they had just run to. Sure enough, they found a narrow and snowy mountain road beside the road. This path wasn¡¯t very safe. She carefully took a step down and Huang Amao followed. Although the two of them were young, they had fought many times in school. No matter how urgent the situation was, they had some tacit understanding when they faced it together. They did not complain to each other. They just held hands and slowly walked down the most difficult and dangerous and slippery road. When they reached the relatively flat mountain road below, they found a way to continue running down. ¡°Anhao, listen. There¡¯s the sound of the accelerator from above. They¡¯re indeed chasing after us!¡± ¡°They must be familiar with the terrain here. They will probably get out of the car and chase after us.¡±Anhao hurriedly ran down the mountain. Although it was winter and the trees on the mountain had lost their leaves, the sharp branches still scratched their faces, hands, and necks that were exposed outside their clothes. Anhao endured the pain as she sprinted down. When she heard the sound of the accelerator from above, she cursed in a low voice,¡±¡±Huang Amao, hurry up! He had to get to the foot of the mountain to hail a taxi before they drove down to intercept the road!¡± ¡°Can you get a taxi?¡± Huang Amao asked as he ran behind her. Anhao suddenly regretted not asking the kind taxi driver for his name card or phone number when she got out of the car. How could there be a car in such a remote place at three in the morning? However, if she did not run now, she could only wait here to be caught by those local ruffians. If she was really caught, she did not dare to imagine the consequences. She could only instinctively continue running down the mountain. Forget it, let¡¯s run down the mountain first. The two of them were running when Huang Amao suddenly felt a vibration in his clothes. He immediately said,¡±¡±Anhao, your phone is still with me. Your phone is ringing!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t seem to notice what Huang Amao was saying and kept running down. However, before she reached the foot of the mountain, she heard the sound of the van¡¯s accelerator that was not too heavy. She felt a chill down her spine, but her feet slipped and she could not control her strength. The moment she fell, she saw three men coming out of the car. The chauffeur was pulling out the car keys. Anhao took a deep breath. The moment Huang Amao fell down, the two of them took a step back. He couldn¡¯t panic! She grabbed Huang Amao¡¯s hand tightly and looked up at the three men who were surrounding them with malicious smiles. ¡°Let me tell you, this is a legal society. Any news can be transmitted very quickly. We just sent our location to the Internet with our phones. If anything happens to the two of us on this mountain, the police will come looking for us very soon. When the time comes, it will be easy for the police to find the people from the production team. As long as they point out the few of you, the case will be solved easily. I¡¯m warning you not to do anything rash!¡± ¡°Oh, this little girl can talk. Her brain works quite fast at such a young age.¡± One of the men with a scar on his face came over with a smile and reached out to touch her face. Anhao¡¯s expression changed. She lifted up her hand and grabbed his hand. Before he could react, she used all her strength to catch him and pushed him forward. The few men, as well as the driver who had just gotten out of the van, were knocked back by the man. Anhao took the opportunity to pull Huang Amao, who had rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight with them, and ran down.¡±Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Anhao! Your phone is still ringing!¡± When she finally heard Huang Amao¡¯s words, Anhao didn¡¯t have any time to stop. She just rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain. The men behind them stood up and chased after them while cursing. Anhao and Huang Amao had been running for a long time and were running out of strength. They couldn¡¯t catch up to the men who had just gotten out of the car. Just as the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, the desolation and silence at the foot of the mountain made the two of them almost fall into despair. However, just as the sound of the chase behind her got closer, a Bentley¡¯s unique light flashed in front of her. Anhao narrowed her eyes at the light.. Chapter 245 - Chapter 245: Zuo Hancheng, No! (5) Chapter 245: Zuo Hancheng, No! (5) Translator: 549690339 However, just as the sound of the chase behind her got closer, a Bentley¡¯s unique light flashed in front of her. Anhao narrowed her eyes at the light. At the foot of the desolate mountain, the men were already approaching. Anhao pulled Huang Amao and ran quickly in the direction of the car lights. However, she felt that it was impossible. That car might have been a Bentley that passed by. It was definitely not Zuo Hancheng. However, when she and Huang Amao rushed to the intersection anxiously, the men behind them had slowed down because they heard a car approaching. They were considering whether to continue chasing the two of them or turn around and run. The moment they reached the intersection, the Bentley that was speeding toward them at a terrifying speed was already approaching them. Huang Amao saw that Anhao had already run to the middle of the intersection and was about to be hit by the car. He shouted in fear,¡±¡±Anhao¡­¡± Anhao also felt that she was too late. Just as she was about to be hit, she froze in her tracks. The ear-piercing sound of brakes rang in her ears. The emergency brake brought up a snowstorm on the road. Anhao, however, felt a layer of cold sweat on her back when the car stopped ten centimeters away from her. Just a little bit more, just a little bit more and she would have been knocked out of her mind. However, when she came back to her senses, her eyes fell on the license plate number beside her. Looking at the familiar license plate number, she felt as if she was trapped in a situation of ice and fire. ¡°President Zuo!¡± Huang Amao saw the person in the car clearly and jumped up excitedly.¡±¡±Anhao! It¡¯s President Zuo! President Zuo is here to save us!¡± When the men behind saw that it was a ridiculously expensive Bentley, they immediately guessed that the person in the car was not ordinary. They did not dare to approach it anymore and quickly turned around to run back up the mountain, intending to escape immediately and not cause any more trouble. The entire foot of the mountain was cold and desolate. Huang Amao did not know why Anhao was standing in front of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car without moving, as if she was frozen. President Zuo was still in the car. Huang Amao was puzzled by the tense atmosphere, but he thought that Anhao had been in a bad mood for the past few days. He guessed that something had happened between the two of them, so he didn¡¯t dare to say anything. He raised his hand and greeted Zuo Hancheng in the car. He said gratefully and excitedly, ¡°Hi Finally, the car door was opened. Zuo Hancheng got out of the car and slammed the door shut. He looked coldly at Gu Anhao, who was standing in front of the car, drenched in cold sweat. The moment Zuo Hancheng walked towards them, Huang Amao looked at the man in black. He was wearing a long black jacket, black suit pants, and a black shirt. He was usually a warm and friendly man, but at this moment, he was so cold that he looked like he had just walked out of hell. He was so handsome that it almost made one want to vomit blood. A man like Zuo Hancheng could only be seen in real life to know how handsome he was. He was not like the celebrities that she was obsessed with. They only had the ability to act cool through the screen, but in reality, they looked so low. When Huang Amao saw Zuo Hancheng walking briskly towards Gu Anhao, he turned around and saw that the bastards had already run away. He took a step back and said,¡±¡±That¡­ President Zuo¡­ Should I leave for a while¡­ ¡°There¡¯s no need to retreat!¡± ¡°Get in the car first.¡¯ Anhao and Zuo Hancheng spoke almost at the same time. Anhao immediately raised her eyes and glared at Zuo Hancheng. However, she saw that his expression was cold and she could not say anything for a moment. She could only purse her lips. Huang Amao naturally chose to listen to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. He did not refute and reached out to help Anhao take the canvas bag from her hands. Then, he turned around and ran into the black Bentley that was as handsome as Zuo Hancheng. The cold wind blew, and Anhao couldn¡¯t help but shiver. However, she endured it and didn¡¯t say anything. She only took a step back silently. The moment she retreated, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the small wounds on her face caused by the tree branches and the deep wound on the back of her hand that was slowly oozing blood. He did not reach out to comfort or hug her immediately. He just looked at her calmly. He looked at Gu Anhao, who had wrapped her up in a protective protective layer several times, like an ostrich that wanted to get out of his world. ¡°Does it feel good to leave in a fit of anger?¡± Zuo Hancheng finally opened his mouth, but his voice was as cold as a knife that cut into Anhao¡¯s heart.¡±¡±You took a bus to T City, turned off your phone, and stayed in a small hotel. Is this your instinctive reaction after encountering something?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and allowed him to lecture her as usual. However, she looked at him coldly as if he didn¡¯t care at all. ¡°Thank you for saving me again. A little girl like me who is always causing trouble and never letting others rest assured has really implicated you.¡± When Anhao opened her mouth, her voice was flat.¡±¡±But I still have to thank you. If it weren¡¯t for your ability to intimidate people, Huang Amao and I would probably be dead in the wilderness today.¡± Seeing the indifference in her eyes, Zuo Hancheng narrowed his eyes.¡±¡±No matter what happens, be it the truth or a misunderstanding, you should give the other party a chance to explain. It¡¯s not too late to leave after you figure out the truth. Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really good at picking up and letting go. You¡¯re really fast! ¡± It wasn¡¯t that Anhao didn¡¯t hear the sarcasm in his words. She just looked up at him expressionlessly. ¡°It seems that Mister Zuo knows why I left. In that case, what else is there to explain? What could be more real than what the eyes saw? Are you trying to tell me that Miss Rong is only hugging you to keep warm because she¡¯s too cold?¡± ¡°Or are you trying to tell me that in a western country, when a woman hugged a man in such an ambiguous way, the man did not push her away. It was just a polite gentleman¡¯s behavior?¡± The moment she finished speaking, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep frown and the frost in his eyes. He sniffed his nose that was feeling a little uncomfortable from the cold. ¡°I¡¯m not running. I just don¡¯t want to humiliate myself.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned ugly when he heard her soft words. He felt helpless and thought that this argument was ridiculous. However. he could not stand the sharpness and sharpness of this girl¡¯s temper. In her eyes, once something happened, there would only be two extreme points. There was no way to turn around and explain or even explain the reason. Zuo Hancheng looked at her red face and frowned.¡±¡±Get in the car.¡± Anhao was indeed very cold, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was even colder. She endured it and did not say anything. She only raised her hand and rubbed her arm.. Chapter 246 - Chapter 246: Zuo Hancheng, No! (6) Chapter 246: Zuo Hancheng, No! (6) Translator: 549690339 Seeing that she was standing in front of the car willfully and refusing to move, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome brows furrowed slightly.¡±¡±Do you want me to carry you into the car in front of your classmates?¡± Although this sentence didn¡¯t sound threatening, it was absolutely intimidating to Anhao. She then turned around and walked to the car. She opened the back door and sat in the backseat with Huang Amao. Zuo Hancheng did not insist on this point. He only glanced at the direction where the hooligans had escaped and then looked at the winding mountain road in front of him. After a cold glance, he got into the car. Anhao and Huang Amao had been sitting close to each other for warmth after they got into the car. Although the heater in the car was sufficient, the two of them were already frozen when they were on the top of the mountain. Now, they were shivering from inside out as they ran down the mountain. The moment Zuo Hancheng got into the car, the man¡¯s black clothes seemed to have brought in all the cold air outside the car, causing the two little girls, who were already a little warmer, to instinctively shiver. The black Bentley started up in the night and turned around, heading toward the city. During this time, Anhao only wrapped herself in her clothes and looked outside. Zuo Hancheng drove quietly and did not say anything. However, Huang Amao, an outsider, noticed the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. Something must have really happened, so Anhao ran away from home? Now that President Zuo had found them, it would be inappropriate for him to argue with Anhao because she was an outsider. Thinking about it carefully, it was probably just what he meant. Huang Amao felt a little awkward and cleared his throat. He smiled at the handsome man who was driving silently and said,¡±¡±President Zuo, thank you so much for today. If you hadn¡¯t stepped on the seven-colored auspicious cloud and descended from the sky, Anhao and I would have been in trouble.¡± Zuo Hancheng drove quietly. After hearing Huang Amao¡¯s thanks, he did not say anything. He only looked up at the two little girls who were huddled together in the rearview mirror. Huang Amao pursed his lips when he realized that he was being ignored. Forget it. She was already very lucky to be able to ride in the car of someone like Zuo Hancheng in her previous life. She could not expect him to talk to her politely when he was in a bad mood. Huang Amao turned to Anhao and said,¡±¡±Anhao, are you okay? Your face was scratched by the tree branches.¡± As she spoke, she stole a glance at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he did not react, and neither did Anhao. She had originally planned to help Anhao put on a show of suffering to ease the tension between the two of them so that they would not be in a stalemate. However, it was obvious that he was wrong. It seemed that it was not something that could be solved by a painful tactic. Huang Amao had no choice but to stay quiet in the car. Zuo Hancheng drove very steadily and at a fast speed. There were not many cars on the road at this time of the morning. The black Bentley sped along the road and they arrived at the downtown area of T City in less than forty minutes. Seeing that President Zuo had no intention of asking where they lived, Huang Amao still kept his mouth shut. After driving into the city, Zuo Hancheng glanced at them through the rearview mirror and said calmly,¡±¡±Whose idea was it to go to a barren mountain in the middle of the night?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s breathing stopped. Seeing that Anhao was still silent, he scratched his head and said apologetically,¡±¡±My idea¡­¡± ¡°What for?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched. She reached out to tug at Anhao¡¯s clothes, wanting to ask her for help, but Anhao didn¡¯t seem to exist and didn¡¯t say anything. She could only laugh.¡±Go¡­ I¡¯m going to watch XX oppa from Korea shoot a night scene¡­¡± As expected, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant brows almost formed a knot in an instant. Huang Amao stuck out her tongue. She was now clear-headed and admitted her absurdity and ignorance. Before Zuo Hancheng could scold her, she said honestly,¡±¡± President Zuo, it¡¯s all my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have brought Anhao to such a dangerous place at such a late hour. I shouldn¡¯t have gone up the mountain just to chase after a star and watch a movie. I shouldn¡¯t have let Anhao almost get into an accident in such a dangerous place. If President Zuo hadn¡¯t appeared in time today, we would have¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted her coldly. He could tell that although Huang Amao and Anhao weren¡¯t the same type of people, they more or less had the same characteristics. This mischievous and quick-witted personality was exactly the same. Huang Amao felt really guilty, but she was also really grateful. Otherwise, not only would something happen to her today, but Anhao would also be implicated. ¡°Did those people drive the car just now?¡± ¡°Yes, they drove a van to chase the two of us. It was full of hooligans!¡±Huang Amao couldn¡¯t help but mutter. Zuo Hancheng glanced coldly at the two daring little girls through the rearview mirror and asked coldly,¡±¡±Did you remember the license plate?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Huang Amao was dumbfounded. He looked at Zuo Hancheng and asked, ¡°¡±Car¡­Car plate number? At that time, the situation was so urgent that Anhao and I didn¡¯t even have time to run. How could we have paid attention to the license plate number¡­¡± ¡°TA45XX.¡±Anhao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said something. ¡°..¡±Huang Amao turned to look at Anhao, who was still not moving, as if she had seen a ghost. She saw that Anhao was still looking out of the car window, thinking about something, but she was sure that Anhao had suddenly recited the license plate number.¡±Anhao, when did you remember this?! It¡¯s too awesome!¡± Anhao did not answer. She suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Let¡¯s get out of the car and go back to get our luggage.¡±¡® ¡°Sit in the car obediently. I¡¯ll accompany you to get your luggage.¡±Zuo Hancheng said coldly without turning back. Anhao glared at him, but she saw that he was driving in the direction of the small hotel that she and Huang Amao had stayed in. Her heart suddenly trembled. Could it be that he had already found T City and found the small hotel that they were staying in? Huang Amao patted Anhao¡¯s shoulder and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Anhao, don¡¯t be so ungrateful. President Zuo is our savior after all. If you continue to have this attitude, I won¡¯t do it.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes speechlessly. Huang Mao was the same as Su Chunchun. They were both the type who would not move when they saw a handsome man. He had thought that Huang Amao was calmer than Su Chunchun, but today, he realized that her nature was even worse than Su Chunchun¡¯s! She was really angered to death! When the car was waiting at the red light at the intersection, Zuo Hancheng saw the two little girls communicating with each other through the rearview mirror. However, he did not smile at their banter. When the green light turned on again and he continued driving, he said in a low voice, ¡°¡±The few people in the car will definitely be caught before noon tomorrow. The two of you don¡¯t have to think too much. I¡¯ll send you back to get your luggage first and change to a hotel to rest well..¡± Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Zuo Hancheng, No! (7) Chapter 247: Zuo Hancheng, No! (7) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo, do you know where we live?¡± Huang Amao was shocked.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, but the car had already stopped opposite the inconspicuous inn that they had stayed in previously. Huang Amao turned to look at the small hotel outside the car window. He was so surprised that his mouth could almost fit an egg. She swallowed her saliva.¡± Anhao came here by bus. She didn¡¯t need to register her identity card. We¡¯re staying in a small hotel that only needs my identity card to register. You actually found her so quickly. That¡¯s amazing!¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng had already stopped the car. With one hand on the steering wheel, he turned around and looked at Huang Amao.¡±l found this place before I received the GPS signal from her phone, but you guys were already gone. If I hadn¡¯t suddenly found her phone signal, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to rush over so quickly.¡± Huang Amao¡¯s guilt and panic were instantly replaced by joy.¡±¡±Anhao¡¯s phone has been turned off for almost two days. I borrowed her phone to take photos before I turned it on!¡± Seeing that the little girl¡¯s face, which was originally pale from fear, suddenly turned red with joy, Zuo Hancheng did not mock her childish recklessness on account that she was Gu An¡¯s best friend. He only smiled lightly.¡±You did well.¡± Huang Amao couldn¡¯t contain his excitement when he suddenly heard a bang. Anhao had already gotten out of the car and slammed the door shut. She quickly walked into the small hotel. Huang Amao was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was silently watching Anhao¡¯s back. He whispered, ¡®¡±¡®That¡­ President Zuo, did Anhao quarrel with you¡­¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Zuo Hancheng also got out of the car. . Fight¡­ Huang Amao didn¡¯t even finish his sentence as he sat in the car and watched the two of them walk into the hotel one after another. He thought for a moment and felt that Anhao would probably take out her luggage as well. It was better for her not to get out of the car and become a third wheel. Anyway, Zuo Hancheng was considerate enough to not lock the car when he got out of the car. The heater in the car was sufficient, so she just leaned against the car and waited. Anhao quickly walked into the hotel. She was about to slam the door shut after entering the room, but she did not hear the sound of the door being closed. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng walking in. He blocked the door that was not closed yet and pushed it open. After she walked in, he entered the room and closed the door in one go. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at him anymore. She turned her head and rolled her eyes at the direction of the window. She reached out to the side of the suitcase and stopped. With her back facing the man behind her, she said, ¡°This small hotel is very clean, so we don¡¯t need to change hotels. Huang Amao and I are people who go with the flow. We don¡¯t have the habit of being picky. We can stay anywhere. There¡¯s no need for you to spend so much money to invite us to stay in a high-class hotel.¡± ¡°Say what you just said again.¡± The voice behind him was cold. Anhao turned around to look at him strangely and saw Zuo Hancheng staring at her with a cold expression. The two of them weren¡¯t standing close to each other. They were about a meter apart, but she still had to raise her head slightly. She lost a lot of momentum again. She frowned at him with dissatisfaction and took a deep breath.¡±This small hotel is very clean. There¡¯s no need to change hotels. Huang Amao and I are just here¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she was shocked by the man who suddenly took a step closer to her. She instinctively retreated, but leaned against the mirror cabinet behind her. She looked up at the man in front of her. When he lowered his head as if he was going to press her down, her heart jumped fiercely.¡±You¡­ What are you doing?¡± She had never seen such a dangerous look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. Yes, it was dangerous. The moment she realized that the situation was very unfavorable for her, she immediately raised her hand and was about to push him away so that she could dodge. However, Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to escape. He stretched out his arms and trapped her at the edge of his body and the mirror cabinet. His cold eyes slowly looked down and closed in on her pale face that was frozen and frightened. ¡°Gu Anhao, don¡¯t give yourself so many reasons to be willful just because you¡¯re young. I have a limit to my indulgence towards you. If you exceed my limit, you should be responsible for your actions.¡± The cold voice that was so close to her made her shiver uncontrollably. She looked at the man in front of her who had suddenly become very, very dangerous in disbelief. Her lips could not help but tremble as she stared at him stiffly.¡±You¡­ I¡­¡± ¡°You what? What about me?¡± Zuo Hancheng slowly pressed her down, forcing Anhao to lean back against the mirror until she had nowhere to retreat. She looked at the man and said, ¡°¡±1 don¡¯t think I¡¯m in the wrong. Instead, it¡¯s you. You and that Rong in the office¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything with Rongxue in the office. Other than the fact that she suddenly hugged me and asked me to quietly listen to her explain what happened back then, there was no other physical contact between us.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s black eyes were so cold that they were inches away from her. He continued to say when he saw the flicker and panic in her eyes,¡±¡±When she was explaining what happened in America five years ago, she cried and begged me not to push her away. She begged me to give her only two minutes to explain. She begged me not to be so heartless that I didn¡¯t even give her such a short time. For the sake of our past relationship, I gave her these two minutes, which happened to be the two minutes you saw. Can such a fact wake you up? Anhao trembled and looked at the man who was about to bite her alive. Her eyes instantly turned red.¡±l only saw it for a minute. Of course, you can use any few words to erase everything. If the two of you didn¡¯t rekindle your old feelings, how could I have coincidentally seen that scene? Zuo Hancheng, you have a guilty conscience!¡± ¡°I have a guilty conscience?¡± Zuo Hancheng almost wanted to tear her into pieces. He lowered his body again and restrained her under his body. When she looked at him with red eyes and fear, he gritted his teeth and said,¡±Why should I feel guilty? As you said, your existence, Gu Anhao, is of no benefit to me. Why would a dispensable little girl go to such great lengths for you?¡± ¡°Do you know how it feels to drive for more than ten hours from A City to T City looking for you on the streets when your shoulder injury has not recovered? Do you know how I felt when I couldn¡¯t get through to your phone and finally found out that your GPS signal was near a remote mountain in the eastern suburbs? Do you know what it feels like to drive at a speed of 270 mph or higher in the deserted suburbs at night?¡± Wound¡­ Yes, his shoulder injury had not recovered yet. Anhao started to feel guilty, but she still said stubbornly,¡±¡±You¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m a dispensable woman¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she was knocked against the mirror cabinet behind her by a huge force. Zuo Hancheng suddenly covered her lips. His lips, which were usually gentle to her, were now filled with anger that was hidden under the calm surface. He bit her lips hard. Just as she was so frightened that she wanted to dodge, he firmly held the back of her head and kissed her deeply. The long kiss took her breath away.. Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Zuo Hancheng, No! (8) Chapter 248: Zuo Hancheng, No! (8) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Oh¡­ Anhao widened her eyes and raised her hand to push him away, but Zuo Hancheng was not moved at all. He had always been gentle to her and had never made her feel so close to danger. He had never realized that there was such a huge difference in strength between the two of them. In the past, she had thought that she was fearless because she had some self-defense skills. However, now that she was in front of him, she knew that once a man was really angry and he was serious, she would not be able to defeat his strength. Anhao anxiously pushed his chest with her hand, but she could only feel her lips and teeth go numb from his deep and painful kiss. She was not used to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s current state either, and her heart was in a mess. She did not know what to do. The moment she finally turned her head away, she said in a panic,¡±Do you think I look like Rongxue?¡± Zuo Hancheng, who was about to kiss her again, suddenly stopped. He lowered his eyes and looked at her closely. Anhao was pressed against the mirror cabinet by him and could not move at all. She stared back at him without fear, her eyes full of resistance. Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled coldly. He smiled coldly and looked down at her pale smile under the dim light in the room. His smile was cold and mocking, and it made Anhao¡¯s hair stand on end. ¡°Gu Anhao, I thought that you would feel it when I held you in my hands and took care of you. But the biggest mistake I made in my life was that I misjudged you.¡± He looked at her coldly and suddenly stepped back. The hands that were supporting her body on both sides were pulled away from her without mercy. Anhao, who had been panicking, was released in an instant. However, the cold air around her invaded her body and made her shiver. When she looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold eyes, she felt as if she was frozen from her feet to the top of her head. ¡°You don¡¯t have a heart.¡± Zuo Hancheng slowly backed away. His cold black eyes did not linger on her face for more than five seconds before he suddenly picked up the suitcase beside her legs and turned to leave. Anhao turned around and felt as if all her strength had been sucked away. She slowly slid down from the mirror cabinet and squatted on the ground. She hugged her knees with her arms, and tears started to flow out. The door was opened by Zuo Hancheng, and his figure disappeared through the door in the blink of an eye. He had already taken her and Amao¡¯s luggage out, so they definitely could not stay here tonight. Anhao sniffed, but she suddenly did not have the courage to stand up and walk out. She did not have the courage to look Zuo Hancheng in the eyes again. It was clearly him who had wronged her, but why did it end up as him blaming her? She didn¡¯t have a heart? Why did he think so? However, the coldness and determination in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes when he walked away from her kept flashing past her eyes. She did not know why she was so flustered. She was even more flustered than when she saw Rong Xue hug him in the resting room that day. Feeling that she was still surrounded by his cold air, Anhao squatted under the mirror cabinet and hugged herself tightly to keep herself warm. But it was so cold. Why was it so cold? It was so cold that her teeth were chattering. After a few seconds or minutes, just as Anhao buried her head in her arms and didn¡¯t want to go out, there was a loud bang from the door. She raised her head subconsciously and saw Zuo Hancheng returning with his suitcase in his hand. He had not left the room and had returned to the room. He even kicked open the unlocked door and walked in. Anhao was stunned for a moment. Tears were still hanging on her face as she stared blankly at the man in black. Zuo Hancheng closed the door after entering and locked it with his backhand. When Anhao heard the sound of the door being locked, she stood up in shock. She threw the suitcase in her hand onto the ground and kicked it against the wall. She then walked towards her quickly. ¡°You¡­¡± Anhao wanted to ask him why he didn¡¯t take his luggage out, but Huang Amao was still waiting outside. However, just as she spat out a word, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in front of her and grabbed her body. He grabbed the back of her head and kissed her on the lips before she could react. Anhao¡¯s entire body trembled. She did not understand the situation at all, but she felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss was fierce and ruthless. She wanted to push him away in pain, but when she looked up, she saw sparks of anger burning in his eyes. He stared at her tear-streaked face. If Gu Anhao, this wretched girl, was deliberately trying to challenge his temper and bottom line, deliberately provoking him, it could only be said that she had succeeded. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Anhao trembled as she pushed her hands between the two of them. She whimpered helplessly under his furious gaze, and fear had already grown in her heart because of his gaze. ¡°No, no, no. Mm¡­ Oh¡­¡± She arched her body and wanted to get out of his embrace, but he grabbed her waist with one hand and made their bodies stick together even tighter. Anhao gritted her teeth and wanted to get out of his arms. Suddenly, she hardened her heart and raised her hand to hit the wound on his shoulder that had not completely healed. The moment she felt him stiffen because of the immense pain on his shoulder, he still did not let go of her. While he was in pain, he bit the tip of her tongue as if it was a backlash, making her feel the same pain. Anhao was not convinced. When her tongue was in pain, she struggled hard in his arms and pushed his shoulder hard.¡±Oh¡­ You¡­ Put¡­ Open¡­ Oh¡­¡± She didn¡¯t want to immerse herself in his gentleness anymore. She didn¡¯t want to sink into these illusions and become stupid. She did not want to think about whether she and Rong Xue looked alike. She just wanted to quietly return to being the stubborn and disrespectful Gu Anhao who would not hurt or hurt. She didn¡¯t want to grow her hair for anyone, and she didn¡¯t want to do something stupid like patiently cooking lovesickness! Finally, Zuo Hancheng could feel her ruthlessness. He paused for a moment in pain because of her ruthless attack. Anhao took the opportunity to push him away and turned to escape from him. However, she had just taken a step when she felt a sharp pain in her wrist. In the next moment, she was thrown onto the snow-white bed sheet behind her. It was only when her body was sinking and Zuo Hancheng was pressing heavily on her body that the panic in Anhao¡¯s heart rose to the extreme. Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: Zuo Hancheng, No! (9) Chapter 249: Zuo Hancheng, No! (9) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I can¡¯t what?¡± The man¡¯s hoarse voice sounded above her head. Time and time again, he felt sorry for her, let her go, and indulged her little temper. In the end, this heartless girl wanted to return to the twisted world that belonged to her alone. It seemed that he had been too gentle and indulgent with her all this time. That was why she dared to run away from home, dared to turn off her phone, and dared to run to such a dangerous place in the middle of the night. His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he drove over. In the end, when she came back here, she actually dared to use such ridiculous words to reject everything he had given her. His hand kept tightening around her waist. Anhao quickly raised her head and was about to bite his shoulder. Zuo Hancheng did not let her have her way and did not have any patience for this cruel little girl. At that moment, he suddenly grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. This made Anhao feel that he was not Zuo Hancheng, but another terrifying man. However, his aura and everything about him was Zuo Hancheng, the Zuo Hancheng that she was afraid of. He firmly restrained her hands that wanted to push him again. He deliberately made her feel uncomfortable and did not leave a trace of gentleness. Didn¡¯t they say that he was using her feelings to make her look like another person¡¯s shadow? Didn¡¯t she repeatedly say that she wanted to retreat and return to her own world? Didn¡¯t she always think that he had a motive for his kindness to her and that he didn¡¯t even have any feelings for her? He would fulfill her wish! ¡°Gu Anhao, even if I picked up an ingrate, I would still wag my tail and pretend to be obedient. You¡¯re worse than a wolf!¡± Anhao heard him swear just now, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She was so terrified that she didn¡¯t know if he was really going to do what was going to happen next. Huang Amao was still in the car outside. Was he really not going to give her any leeway? She was afraid and felt pain all over her body. She felt that Zuo Hancheng, who was not gentle at all, was very scary. However, she could not say a word of rejection after being kissed. She could not even curse. When he finally let go of her, she was about to open her mouth, but the sound that came out of her mouth suddenly turned into a muffled whimper. She did not manage to finish her sentence, and it turned into a low whimper. It hurts¡­ Anhao gritted her teeth and raised her head, refusing to make a sound. This was Anhao¡¯s first time in her life. A man who had always been gentle to her had given her the cruelest, most painful, and most unforgettable first time. It was the first time he had deliberately made her unable to forget. The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Anhao sat on the bed in a daze. She looked at the black shirt on the bed and felt that something was wrong. Enduring the pain all over his body, he reached out and took the shirt. He touched the shoulder of the shirt and froze. He lowered his head and raised his finger, seeing the fresh blood on his finger. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder injury had only recovered for half a month. It had just healed not too long ago. Was it because he had been driving for such a long time that the wound had already been slightly torn? Then, because of her forceful pushing and hammering, the wound had opened again? Anhao stared blankly at the shirt in her hands and the blood stains on her hands. The blood on her hand seemed to be more glaring than the blood stain on the blanket that represented her first time. When the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, she quickly put her shirt back to its original position and sat on the bed without moving. She even put her blood-stained hand behind her back. Zuo Hancheng walked out without looking at her. He changed out of the towel and put on his clothes. He did not seem to care about the injury on his shoulder and the blood on his black shirt. After changing his clothes, he walked to the door and picked up the suitcase on the ground. He said coldly,¡±You have 15 minutes to get dressed.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, his tall and cold black figure walked out of the door without looking back. Bang! The moment the door was slammed shut, Anhao had a feeling that Zuo Hancheng might return again. She looked in the direction of the door in fear. She sat there stiffly for four to five minutes before getting out of bed. However, she almost lost her balance because of the pain in her legs and the soreness all over her body. After exhaling twice, she gave up on taking a shower. She was too lazy to care about cleanliness now. She planned to take a shower at the hotel later. Anyway, she had a change of clothes in her bag. She picked up her clothes and put them on. Every time she raised her arms and legs, she felt as if her body had been disassembled. After putting it on, she looked at the time. It was exactly fifteen minutes. Anhao knew that she was lying to herself. She and Zuo Hancheng had been staying in the room for so long and Huang Amao had not knocked on the door. Obviously, he knew what had happened. However, knowing was one thing, and facing other people¡¯s gazes was another. When she walked out, she saw the black Bentley parked outside the door. She felt so nervous that she could hardly breathe. Enduring the soreness in his body, he walked to the back door of the car and opened it before sitting inside.. Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: Zuo Hancheng, No! (10) Chapter 250: Zuo Hancheng, No! (10) Translator: 549690339 The car was obviously very warm, but Anhao could feel the air pressure was very low the moment she sat in it. She did not even dare to look at Zuo Hancheng who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, let alone the wound on his shoulder. Huang Amao was leaning against the seat with sleepy eyes. He rubbed his nose and turned to Anhao.¡±Anhao, you¡¯re finally out.¡± Anhao was afraid that Huang Amao would tease her, so she gave a low ¡± mm ¡® in a guilty tone, but her voice was a little hoarse. Huang Amao sniffed again and frowned.¡±¡±l might have caught a cold on the mountain just now. I have a headache now. Please ask your Boss Zuo to buy me some cold medicine before sending us somewhere else.¡± After saying that, she stretched and scratched her head.¡±l fell asleep after the two of you went in. It¡¯s almost dawn now. Should we go back to A City directly or find another place to stay first?¡± Seeing that Huang Amao didn¡¯t have any intention of teasing or questioning them about what they had been doing just now, Anhao¡¯s anxious heart slowly relaxed. However, she did not answer, and neither did Zuo Hancheng. The car had already started moving toward the intersection not far away. Huang Amao, who was ignored once again, did not feel embarrassed at all. It was obvious that he had already gotten used to the atmosphere between the two of them. He rubbed his temples and said, ¡°My head hurts. I have to take some cold medicine later. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t have the strength to go back to my relative¡¯s company for an internship when I return to A City.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a pharmacy over there. I¡¯ll get out of the car and buy it for you.¡±After crossing an intersection, Anhao looked outside and saw a large pharmacy that was open 24 hours a day. Not long after she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng stopped the car at the intersection without saying anything. Huang Amao sniffed his nose, but because it was uncomfortable, he kept inhaling. Suddenly, he smelled a strange smell and said, ¡°¡±Strange, why do I smell blood?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze immediately swept over Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder. He was wearing a coat and his shirt was covered. She did not expect Huang Amao to have such a sharp nose even after catching a cold. She could not sit still for a moment. Without waiting for them to speak, she pushed the door open and ran out of the car. ¡°I¡¯ll go buy medicine!¡± Anhao then ran into the normal-looking pharmacy without looking back. A few minutes later, Anhao ran back. Huang Amao glanced at her after she got into the car.¡±Gu Anhao, why do I feel like you¡¯re acting weird today?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t answer. She only said,¡± I¡¯ve bought the medicine. It¡¯s in my bag. Let¡¯s find a hotel to stay in later. When we reach the hotel, you can take the medicine and sleep.¡±¡® Huang Amao sniffed again and pouted.¡±¡±Our Anhao is really good. When she¡¯s gentle, she¡¯s really like a virtuous wife.¡± Huang Amao smiled and leaned his head on Anhao¡¯s shoulder. The car started moving again, and Zuo Hancheng did not say a word as if he did not exist. When Anhao leaned her head on Huang Amao¡¯s head and closed her eyes to take a nap, Zuo Hancheng happened to see Anhao¡¯s hands tightly clutching the canvas bag on her lap through the rearview mirror. He only took a glance before driving the car to the resort in the center of T City. The black Bentley finally stopped in front of a chain resort hotel that was partially invested by Shengling Group. Anhao and Huang Amao sat in the car and didn¡¯t move until Zuo Hancheng got out of the car first. After the security guard at the entrance of the hotel came over to take the spare car keys, the two of them consciously got out of the car. The security guard drove his car to the parking lot. Huang Amao followed behind Zuo Hancheng and whispered to Anhao, who seemed to be in a bad state of mind,¡±¡±Your Boss Zuo¡¯s aura is too strong. My little heart can¡¯t stop beating as I follow behind him. I feel that being able to be in close contact with such a Prince Charming is more exciting than being able to take a photo with XX oppa.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at her and didn¡¯t say anything. Her hands were still carefully covering her bag. After ten minutes, they took the elevator upstairs. Zuo Hancheng had only booked two rooms, so Huang Amao asked for a room for himself first. Then, he took the room card and excitedly went to the legendary high-class business suite to enjoy the so-called jacuzzis. Anhao was left behind by Zuo Hancheng. When the two of them walked towards the room, Anhao¡¯s footsteps were slow, but Zuo Hancheng did not walk with her like usual. He walked very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were a few meters apart. When the door opened, he walked in first. He did not wait for her to go in with him. He just opened the door and waited for her. Anhao¡¯s heart was still pounding from what had happened in the small hotel. Although the soreness and pain in her body were not as obvious as before, she still felt uncomfortable. When she walked, she could not help but think of the feeling of being taken by a man. However, she could not blush at all now. She was only filled with fear. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng, who was no longer gentle, would do anything to her when she returned to the room. However, she had already come this far, and Huang Amao was also here. If she were to escape in the middle of the night, a small portion of her luggage would still be in his car. Even if she ran, she would not have any money. It was inevitable that she would have to use his card. It seemed very embarrassing and unnecessary to run away like this. Hence, she slowly walked to the door of the room. When she saw that the lights in the room were on, she mustered her courage and walked in. After entering the room, she only took two or three steps before she slowly stopped. When she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already taken off his coat and was standing by the sofa inside, pouring water into a glass, she hesitated for a moment and did not continue walking in. ¡°Close the door.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the glass after drinking the water. He did not look at her but spoke to her in a cold voice. Anhao didn¡¯t turn around to close the door. She was still considering whether she should stay in Huang Amao¡¯s room. However, just as she was hesitating, Zuo Hancheng was obviously impatient with her. He raised his hand and unbuttoned two or three buttons on his shirt collar. He glanced at her coldly and suddenly walked toward her. Seeing that he was approaching her, Anhao¡¯s legs trembled and she hurriedly took two steps back, wanting to go out. However, her speed was not as fast as his height and legs. In a few steps, she was already in front of her. The moment she was about to run out of the door, she closed the door in front of her. The sound of the door closing made Anhao¡¯s heart tremble. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng holding the door with one hand, trapping her between the door and her body. His tall figure blocked the light in the room behind him and cast a shadow on her. Anhao instinctively leaned against the door to keep a distance from him. Her face was a little pale..¡±What else do you want?¡± Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: She’s Afraid of Pain (1) Chapter 251: She¡¯s Afraid of Pain (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao instinctively leaned against the door to keep a distance from him. Her face was a little pale. ¡°What else do you want?¡± As she spoke, her eyes involuntarily swept over his shoulder. Although his shirt was black, she could still see more and more blood oozing out of his shoulder through the light behind him. It would be a lie to say that she didn¡¯t blame herself. After all, the injury on his shoulder was also because of her. Just now, she was so cruel to use her hand to deliberately push away the wound on his shoulder. However, no matter how much guilt and remorse she felt in her heart, when she thought of what he had done to her in that hotel just now, her heart felt a little more balanced. ¡°Gu Anhao, are you satisfied now?¡± An icy cold voice came from the top of her head. Anhao trembled and slowly raised her head to look at his expression. Suddenly, one of his hands covered her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me.¡± He did not want her to see him lose control like this again. Anhao didn¡¯t dare to move anymore. She just leaned against the door tightly and bit her lips tightly. However, the wound on her face from the tree branch, the kiss mark on her neck, and her lips that were a little redder than usual clearly showed that everything she had experienced tonight was thrilling. Zuo Hancheng suddenly let go of her, turned around, and headed straight for the bathroom. Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Anhao remembered that he had just taken a shower after the incident, but she knew that he was probably taking a cold shower now. Although Zuo Hancheng had not shown her any mercy just now, she could feel that he did not continue because he knew how much she loved him. In the end, he simply let her go. Now that the two of them were in a warm room, facing a green fruit for the first time, his self-control and rationality eventually prevailed over his anger. However, Anhao was still trembling. After hearing the sound of water in the bathroom for a few minutes, she suddenly remembered something and quickly walked into the room. She picked up another glass and poured herself a glass of water. Then, she rummaged through her canvas bag for a long time, but she couldn¡¯t find anything. She immediately frowned. It was strange. She had clearly bought her own morning-after medicine when she was buying medicine for Huang Amao. Why was it gone? After flipping through the pages for a long time, she was too flustered to do such a thing behind Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. When she turned around, she suddenly knocked the empty glass that he had just drunk from onto the floor. Although the glass did not shatter when it landed on the carpet, it still made a sound that was neither loud nor soft. She was so frightened that she turned around to look at the cup and then turned to look in the direction of the bathroom. The sound of water continued, so he probably didn¡¯t hear it. Anhao bent down to pick up the glass cup and put it back on the crystal coffee table. She continued to rummage through her bag and took out everything in it one by one. Finally, she found a small medicine box in a hidden compartment. She hurriedly put everything in her bag back, opened the medicine box, and took out a pill. She picked up the glass of water and was about to take the pill. Suddenly, the bathroom door behind him opened. Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, Anhao¡¯s hand trembled. She lost her grip on the pill in her hand and the small pill fell to the ground. She stood rooted to the ground because the pill had coincidentally rolled behind her feet. It rolled all the way to the bathroom door before stopping. It was very quiet behind her. Anhao froze for a long time before she mustered up her courage and slowly turned around. She saw Zuo Hancheng wearing a gray bathrobe, and water was still dripping from his black hair. He stood in front of the bathroom door, maintaining the posture of pushing the door open. However, he was looking at the pill that had rolled to his feet. Anhao felt an inexplicable sense of panic, but she remained calm and put down the cup. There was only one pill in the small medicine box. It seemed that she would not be able to eat it tonight. Zuo Hancheng looked up from the morning-after pill on the floor, which was effective for 48 hours. His cold gaze fell on her small face, which was trying hard to remain calm. The moment she met his gaze, Anhao hurriedly threw the medicine box beside her into the trash can and took a step back. Her brain twitched as she said to herself, I saw that Huang Amao caught a cold and thought that I might have caught a cold as well, so I decided to take a cold medicine too¡­¡± However, before she could finish her self-deceiving lie, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was already on the wastepaper basket beside her feet. The moment his gaze fell on the medicine box in the wastepaper basket, her voice instantly fell silent and she could no longer speak. Zuo Hancheng walked towards her. Anhao hurriedly took two steps back, but she still had to face the coldness in his eyes when he approached her. ¡°Gu Anhao, I really misjudged you.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips moved when she heard his voice, which sounded like a sharp arrow, but she couldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Don¡¯t look down on your young age, but the degree of decisiveness in doing things makes even me prostrate myself in admiration.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the canvas bag that she had placed on the sofa.¡±¡±How many boxes of medicine did you buy?¡± ¡°Just one box.¡± An Hao lowered her head in fear under his gaze. She did not know what was wrong with her. In front of Zuo Hancheng, she could not bare her fangs and brandish her claws like she did in front of others. When did she start to change? The reason why she came to T City early to relax was because of him, but now it seemed that she was in the wrong. Even Zuo Hancheng¡¯s venomous tongue was like a knife cutting into her heart. ¡°Don¡¯t let me see you carrying this in your bag again.¡±¡±Go take a shower,¡± Zuo Hancheng said coldly.¡± Hearing the word ¡± shower ¡°, Anhao¡¯s entire body shivered. She was afraid that she would be eaten clean by him after she washed up, so she instinctively wanted to escape. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome brows furrowed slightly when she took a few steps back with a pale face.¡±¡±Do you want me to help you wash it?¡± Anhao immediately felt humiliated and glared at him.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re not human! The wound on your shoulder has split open and you can still take a shower. You¡¯re not afraid of pain, but I¡¯m afraid of pain! I don¡¯t want to do anything now! I don¡¯t want to take a shower either!¡± ¡°Are you in pain?¡± ¡°Where does it hurt?¡± Zuo Hancheng sneered.¡± As he spoke, he took a step forward and forced Anhao to hug her chest in shock. His eyes swept across her body, obviously asking the obvious. ¡°I¡¯ve always been too indulgent to you. If I don¡¯t let you feel pain once, you won¡¯t remember your stupidity and absurdity for the rest of your life.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng undid the belt on his bathrobe.¡±lt¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to shower. If I want to continue doing something to you, I can still kiss you even if you don¡¯t shower for a week.¡± Anhao immediately jumped away from him with a low cry, turned around and ran to the wall. When he turned around and was about to walk over, she quickly ran into the bathroom and quickly closed the door and locked it from the inside. She leaned against the door for a long time. When she heard that Zuo Hancheng was not approaching, she turned to look in the direction of the bathtub. Her eyes instantly turned red.. Chapter 252 - Chapter 252: She Was Afraid of Pain (2) Chapter 252: She Was Afraid of Pain (2) Translator: 549690339 The man who used to make her feel especially safe was now filled with a sense of danger. She suddenly did not even have the courage to walk out of the bathroom. If she didn¡¯t get hurt once, would she forget her stupidity and absurdity for the rest of her life? What right did he have to say such a thing? Did she think that he was stupid and ridiculous because she looked similar to Rongxue? If it were any other woman who had encountered such a coincidence, she would not be able to calmly think that everything was just a coincidence. Was it absurd or foolish for her to question his intentions? It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng was the most overbearing, shameless, hypocritical, hypocritical, and two-faced bastard! Anhao turned around and went to take a shower to wash away her fatigue and coldness. Because of the life-and-death struggle of love, she lay weakly in the bathtub. In fact, she was just stubborn. She had too many thorns on her body. She was afraid of hurting the people who treated her well, and she was also afraid of hurting herself. For a moment, she regretted not pushing the door open and entering the office to ask. After all, she was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s official wife. No matter what happened to Rong Xue, she was still qualified to go in and ask. Perhaps she hadn¡¯t left the thermos flask and lunch box behind. If she hadn¡¯t dragged Huang Amao to T City earlier, perhaps things wouldn¡¯t have turned out this way. But now that things had come to this, no matter how regretful or vexed he was, it was useless. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the edge of the bathtub, allowing the bathwater to cover her body. She allowed herself to be surrounded by the warm water, using it as a temporary protective layer to give herself a sense of security. She even submerged her head into the water and held her breath to push herself into an extreme state, trying to get rid of all the emotions that she shouldn¡¯t have in her mind and regain her rationality. No matter who was right or wrong in this matter, it had already become like this. It was useless for her to regret. Zuo Hancheng was really angry. He said that he had always held her in his hands and loved her dearly, so now he was planning to throw her down and leave her alone, right? She crawled out of the water and lowered her head to look at her body that was submerged in the water. There were marks of different sizes on her skin. They were all red. They were the marks that Zuo Hancheng had left on her body when he was not gentle. Suddenly, she could not muster any strength. She leaned against the bathtub like a rag doll and closed her eyes. Unknowingly, she fell asleep in exhaustion. Zuo Hancheng realized that she had been in the bathroom for an hour and had not come out yet. Moreover, the bathroom was abnormally quiet. After ending the call from Mobai, he turned around and walked into the bathroom. The door was locked from the inside. He called the room service to send the key in within a minute. After getting the key, he opened the bathroom door and walked in to see Anhao sleeping in the bathtub. Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly and walked over. The water in the bathtub had already turned cold. However, she was sleeping soundly, and her face was abnormally red. Zuo Hancheng took a deep breath and carried her out of the water. However, just as he picked her up and wrapped her in a towel, Anhao curled up in his arms and trembled as it she had encountered something terrible in a dream. She seemed to be mumbling something. He could vaguely hear her soft ravings.¡±Don¡¯t¡­Don¡¯t come over¡­¡± While she was murmuring in her dreams, her body tensed up and her entire person was filled with resistance. Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly. He was sure that even if he had not been gentle with her today, he would not have scared her to such an extent when she had a nightmare. On the surface, Gu Anhao looked like she was scared out of her wits, but she had already scolded him countless times in her heart. With her personality, she would only pretend to be pitiful for the time being to gain his sympathy so that he would let her go. She would definitely not have nightmares because of him. So, what was she dreaming about? ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s hand was tightly pressed against his chest as she shook her head gently.¡±¡±Don¡¯t come over¡­Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t come over¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng carried her out of the bathroom and placed her on the bed. She was shivering under the blanket. Was it because everything he did to her today had evoked the nightmare that was hidden in the deepest part of her heart? Wenner had once said that Anhao looked like a heartless and rebellious girl, but she was actually an extremely insecure person. Wenner had helped her hide some things from the past. Although he did not ask further, he could clearly see that Anhao¡¯s behavior in her sleep was different from before after today¡¯s incident. For a moment, Zuo Hancheng wondered if he had punished such a fragile Anhao too much. However, when she saw the morning-after pill on the floor outside the bathroom door and recalled the words of this heartless girl, she immediately turned around and went to the other bedroom of this suite. When Zuo Hancheng left Anhao¡¯s bed, it was already dawn outside the window. Anhao woke up instinctively after being cooped up in the blanket for two minutes, but she refused to go out because she knew that Zuo Hancheng was by her bed. It was not until he went to another room that she quietly poked her head out from under the blanket and looked up at the door opposite. Zuo Hancheng did not sleep next to her, hug her in his arms, and give her warmth like he did in the past. He did not come over to coax her either. Was she suddenly so cold and heartless because she had really done something wrong? She buried her face in the blanket and silently looked at the tightly shut door. It had been a long time since she had dreamed of that nightmare from five years ago. Today, she was having it again. She sniffled and looked at the door opposite her with a sad expression. She never knew that she could be so conflicted. She actually expected Zuo Hancheng to suddenly push open the door and come back to hug her in his arms. It was just a habit. It was because of habit. However, Zuo Hancheng did not come out of the door until the sky turned bright. Anhao hadn¡¯t been able to sleep because of the nightmare that had once again entered her mind. Although the fatigue and soreness all over her body made her want to sleep deeply, when she closed her eyes, she would see the scene from five years ago. She tried many times but couldn¡¯t fall asleep. In the end, she had no choice but to keep her eyes open as she looked out the window. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice echoed in her ears. ¡°You don¡¯t have a heart.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t let you feel pain once, you¡¯ll never remember your stupidity and absurdity for the rest of your life.¡± Anhao suddenly flipped over on the bed, grabbed a pillow, and pressed it against her face, trying to suffocate herself. That day, she had left Shengling Group and went to T City to relax. She wanted to get out of it as soon as possible so that she would not be stuck in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s world. She had suffered a lot today, but Zuo Hancheng still did it to her so mercilessly and shamelessly! It was so painful! She actually realized that she was sinking deeper and deeper, and her mind was filled with him! How could this be! Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: She Was Afraid of Pain (3) Chapter 253: She Was Afraid of Pain (3) Translator: 549690339 At noon, the exhausted Anhao finally woke up from her nightmare. She had a simple meal with Huang Amao, who had also woken up at this time, and was forced to take Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car back to A City. He didn¡¯t have to go to the concert tonight. Huang Amao was still brooding over the incident where he was dumped on the mountain by a certain celebrity last night. Although he indeed didn¡¯t need to care about irrational fans like you, the love and infatuation in his heart was still shattered by reality. There was no point in watching this concert. When she returned to A City, she sent Huang Amao to her current residence. After that, Anhao thought that Zuo Hancheng would bring her back to Liu Jing Garden. However, he didn¡¯t expect that he would drive to Shengling Group. When he got out of the car, he didn¡¯t even look back and entered the company. Anhao stood in the car for a long time until the company¡¯s security guard came over and was about to drive President Zuo¡¯s car into the underground parking lot. Suddenly, he saw Gu Anhao sitting inside and immediately nodded at her politely.¡±Miss Gu, President Zuo has an urgent high-level meeting in five minutes and can¡¯t be delayed, so I¡¯ll help President Zuo drive this car into the parking lot. Miss Gu, do you want to get off now or rest in the car?¡± Meeting? It was only then that Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng had just been discharged from the hospital and returned to the company not long ago. There were still many urgent matters that needed to be dealt with, but he had actually spent the past two days looking for her. He drove all the way back to A City with his injuries that had not yet recovered, but he could not delay the urgent meeting any longer. She had been unwilling to admit that she had been impulsive or wrong, but when she realized that she had delayed many of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s important matters, she did not say anything. After a moment of silence, she nodded at the security guard outside the car and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get out of the car.¡± As she spoke, she picked up her bag and got out of the car until she saw the security guard drive the car to the parking lot. She stood in the wide square in front of Shengling Group like a human pillar, not knowing whether to go in or take a taxi back to Liujing Garden first. After standing in the square for a while, she was still in a state where no one cared about her. In the past, no matter how busy Zuo Hancheng was, he would take care of her. He would tell her before he left or send someone to take her somewhere. However, she had been standing there for almost 15 minutes. He did not ask anyone to arrange a place for her to rest. It was as if he had forgotten about her. Was he trying to teach her a lesson? Anhao silently counted in her heart. If Zuo Hancheng still did not send her a message or send someone over, she would leave immediately. She did not want to embarrass herself here and be scrutinized by the passing employees with strange looks. One, two, three¡­Nine¡­ Ten¡­ After she recited the ten numbers, she turned around and suddenly saw two extended high-end business cars parked near the square. A few well-dressed people came out from them. They looked like people of extraordinary status. There were two foreigners among them, and they were holding documents and files in their hands. These people should be here to attend the meeting, right? It seemed like a really important meeting. She felt inexplicably guilty, but who was Anhao? She was Gu Anhao. Since she was the one who ran away first, even if she was crippled, she had to stand up and walk back. She would not bow down and admit her mistake. She raised her hand and wiped her nose. She raised her head and swaggered to the roadside to hail a taxi. She did not look like a child who had realized that she had done something wrong. Instead, her eyes were filled with stubbornness and unyielding spirit. In the spacious and bright high-class conference room of Shengling Group, the people sitting there were all looking at the various data statistics and pattern analysis on the screen in silence. Lin Qing gently pushed open the door of the meeting room and walked in. He walked behind Zuo Hancheng without disturbing anyone. She bent down behind Zuo Hancheng and said in a voice that only he could hear,¡±¡±President Zuo, Miss Gu has already left. She took a taxi and left. Looking at the direction, she should be going home.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear him, and his gaze was still fixed on the screen. But Lin Qing remembered what President Zuo had told him before he entered the meeting room, so he continued to whisper in his ear, ¡°¡±1¡¯11 call the security department of Liujing Garden in half an hour to confirm if Miss Gu has returned safely.¡± After she finished speaking, she did not wait for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response. She turned around and left the meeting room quietly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with President Zuo today? Even though he was usually serious, he would occasionally give people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. Why did it feel like he had just come out of an icehouse today? It was so cold that it was scary.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? I heard that Director Xu from the Planning Department and Manager Zhao from the statistics office were both approved today.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t President Zuo just stay in the hospital some time ago? I¡¯ve just returned to the company, and I suddenly went out for two days. When I came back today, I was like a cold-faced Yama. I saw that the secretaries in the top floor secretary¡¯s office were all carefully taking a detour today, afraid that they would lose their jobs because of the Left Headquarters.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be, right? President Zuo has always been a person who can distinguish between public and private grudges. He shouldn¡¯t fire his subordinates so easily unless the other party has done something very wrong¡­¡± ¡°I heard that Manager Zhao from the statistics department didn¡¯t check the statistics clearly today. There was an extra zero, causing the company to almost bear a loss of hundreds of millions. That¡¯s why President Zuo flew into a rage. However, in the past, even if President Zuo was unhappy, he wouldn¡¯t fly into a rage like this. President Zuo is really going to freeze to death today¡­¡± Mobu had just come out of the meeting room after working on a few hours of documents. He heard a few female employees on the same floor quietly chatting in the coffee room not far away. When he walked past the door and heard these words, he only paused for a moment before entering the elevator. When she reached the top floor, she walked straight to the president¡¯s office. When she pushed the door open, she saw Zuo Hancheng looking at a row of numbers on the screen. His expression was indeed as the female employees had said, it was much colder than usual. However, it was too exaggerated to call him a cold-faced Yama. President Zuo was clearly such a serious and unapproachable person when he was in the United States. After returning to China in recent years, he had to adapt to the local customs and interpersonal relationships. He had already given people a feeling of being bathed in the spring breeze. Seeing President Zuo¡¯s expression now, Mobai more or less guessed that it was probably because of Gu Anhao. He did not say much and just walked over to place the meeting documents on the desk in front of him. ¡°President Zuo, I¡¯ve sent all the things that you need to handle personally to your private email. If you¡¯re too tired, you can go back and rest first.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze never left the screen.. Chapter 254 - Chapter 254: She Was Afraid of Pain (4) Chapter 254: She Was Afraid of Pain (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze did not leave the screen. At the same time, he said coldly,¡±¡±Bring me all the things I need to see this month. I¡¯ll finish them in two days.¡± Mobai was startled, his eyes filled with doubt. ¡°Last time, Zuo Yue came over and found Gu Anhao. She went back and reported it to the old man. If I don¡¯t go back soon, the old master will probably come personally.¡± As he spoke, Zuo Hancheng turned to look coldly at Mobai¡¯s understanding gaze.¡±¡±Book two domestic direct flights to Los Angeles.¡± Mobai nodded.¡± Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll get it done by tomorrow morning.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded and did not say anything else. His gaze returned to the screen. Mobai actually wanted to ask Gu Anhao how she was doing. After all, Gu Anhao ran up alone that day and saw Rongxue here. She ran away immediately after that. President Zuo had gone to look for her personally these two days. When he came back, he seemed to be in a bad mood. He really didn¡¯t know if he should ask her about this. However, he felt that although this matter had nothing to do with him, it was also a series of bad consequences caused by his negligence. However, seeing that President Zuo did not seem to want to mention this matter now, as the President¡¯s special assistant, it was inconvenient for him to ask about these private matters. Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment and chose to shut his mouth quietly. He turned around and asked someone to sort out the approval documents that President Zuo had instructed him to look at for the next few days. ¡°He was wrong, I was wrong, he was wrong, I was wrong, he was wrong, I was wrong¡­¡± A few security guards stood not far away and saw Gu Anhao sitting in the stone pavilion in the green area of Liujing Garden. She was plucking a fake flower in her hand and mumbling non-stop. Was there something wrong with this little girl¡¯s brain? She didn¡¯t even wear a coat in the middle of winter. She just wore a sweater and sat there. The green area wasn¡¯t green at all because of the weather. The cold wind whistled, but she actually sat in the pavilion and kept pulling off the petals of the fake flowers. He was still mumbling some nonsense. He wanted to go up and persuade her, but then he remembered that this little girl had an ugly expression when she came back from outside today. It seemed that she had been offended by someone. After getting to know each other for the past few days, the security guards of Liu Jing Garden knew that although Gu Anhao was young, she was a member of the famous Zuo Hancheng. She was also a young master with a bad temper and was not to be trifled with. Therefore, the security guards only watched from a distance for a while before turning around and leaving. They did not intend to provoke the little ancestor who was abusing the fake flower. ¡°He was wrong, I was wrong, he was wrong, I was wrong, he was wrong¡­¡± After counting to the last petal, Anhao finally rolled her eyes at the sky. See, even the heavens felt that he was wrong. Zuo Hancheng was not only arrogant, but he also had the ability to act cool. He looked cool and arrogant, thinking that he could save the world. In fact, he was not a human who could be hurt. Furthermore, he was not only bullying the flower of the motherland! He even made a big case of rape in marriage! The victim was her! Just thinking about it made her angry. He actually dared to continue torturing her mentally after torturing her! Cold War! It wasn¡¯t like they hadn¡¯t fought before! This time, if he went on another business trip, she would never ask again, nor would she be thick-skinned enough to talk to him. Anyway, if God said that he was wrong, then he was wrong. She definitely did nothing wrong. After struggling with her emotions for the entire afternoon, Anhao clapped her hands and left the stone pavilion. When she returned to the house, she remembered that she had not put on her coat just now. She shivered a few times and ran straight to the bedroom on the second floor to lock the door. She fell into bed and fell asleep. This time, he slept even more deeply. He completely forgot about the 24-hour, 48-hour, or even 72-hour morning-after pills. 8 PM. Anhao smacked her lips in her sleep. She did not have a nightmare today. Instead, she tied Zuo Hancheng to a tree, stripped him naked, and whipped him. She only sat at the side and ate her potato chips happily after he kept calling her ancestor and admitting his mistakes. As she ate, she watched Zuo Hancheng drool at her. He was slandering her, slandering her, and refusing to let her eat. Who told him to keep bugging her and not allow her to eat snacks! Let him have a taste of the consequences of suffering all kinds of abuse! Just as she was having a good dream, she was suddenly woken up by the sound of a car outside. It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that she was not sleeping very soundly. She had a bunch of messy dreams, and only the last dream was the best. In the end, she woke up before she could have enough fun. She sat up and scratched her head. She had been going back and forth for the past two days and had even accidentally lost her virginity. She was really tired. However, when she heard the sound of the car, she thought that Zuo Hancheng must have returned. She felt that she had to talk to him. Even if she was ignored, she had to get an explanation. Anhao ran downstairs and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already entered the room. However, he did not even take off his coat after he entered the room. He fell on the sofa and did not move. She stood at the bottom of the stairs and paused for a moment. She looked at the tall and slender black figure on the sofa from afar and slowly walked over. When she walked over, she saw Zuo Hancheng lying on the sofa, motionless. He covered half of his face with one hand and hid himself in the sofa. She did not know if he had fallen asleep or something else. Puzzled, she approached him. ¡°Hey!¡± She called out to him. ¡® Hello?¡± Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes but did not look at her. Under the bright lights, Zuo Hancheng was lying on the sofa. His handsome features were hidden. The surrounding light shone on his body, but it could not hide his fierce and cold aura. Anhao didn¡¯t even need to look at him clearly to know that he was so busy that he didn¡¯t even have time to close his eyes after arriving at the company. He just needed a short period of time to close his eyes and rest. However, when he heard her voice, his expression darkened and his entire person became even colder. In fact, when she sniffed him carefully, she could smell the faint scent of alcohol on him. Could it be that he was busy all day and even took advantage of his free time to participate in a small drinking party at night? Just as Anhao was feeling puzzled, Zuo Hancheng suddenly sat up and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He frowned and turned to look at her. He snorted, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He casually threw the car keys on the coffee table and said calmly,¡±Go to the airport two days later at three in the afternoon. Remember the time yourself. I¡¯ll come back to pick you up then.¡± ¡°Airport?¡± Anhao could tell that there were several meanings behind his words, but she still grasped the main point first.¡±Why are we going to the airport?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was light and his voice was clear..¡±Other than being jealous and ¡®getting out of this unscathed,¡¯ you can¡¯t hold anything else in your mind, right? Don¡¯t you remember what I said?¡± Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: She Is Afraid of Pain (5) Chapter 255: She Is Afraid of Pain (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao choked and looked at him in a daze. It was only then that she remembered that he seemed to have mentioned that he would bring her to America soon. But now that things had already turned out this way, Zuo Hancheng was still taking her to America? Why go to America? Looking for trouble? ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± she blurted out immediately.¡± I¡¯ve already been raped by you in my marriage. I¡¯m not going! Of course, she only dared to repeat the words in her heart. However, Zuo Hancheng did not give her any chance to refuse. He picked up the car keys from the coffee table and stood up.¡±You have no choice but to go. Pack your luggage at three in the afternoon two days later.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out. Anhao was about to continue to reject him righteously, but she saw that he seemed to be leaving. It was already past eight o¡¯clock and almost nine o¡¯clock. She looked at his back in confusion and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°What do you mean by telling me to remember the time? Aren¡¯t you going back to the Gilded Scenic Garden for the next two days?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give vou two days to reflect on your mistakes.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not turn back. Miss your sister! She held back her anger and glared at his back with gritted teeth. This bastard! He used an excuse to eat her up in one go, and even made her feel so much pain that she wanted to die. He even made her shut herself in to reflect on her mistakes! ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± Seeing that he was really going out, Anhao quickly chased after him.¡±¡±l refuse! I¡¯m not going to America! You can find whoever you want. Even if you bring Rongxue back, I don¡¯t want to go with you!¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard the name Rong Xue, he did not turn around. However, when he walked to the car, he turned around and glared at her with a cold gaze that was as sharp as a knife. Anhao swallowed her curses. She could only add softly,¡±You bullied me and even told me to reflect on my mistakes in seclusion. Now you want to bring me back to America to report to the old master? Dream on. ¡°I have thousands of reasons to force you to go to the United States, provided that you want me to force you.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently before he opened the door and got into the car. Anhao stared at him in shock. She thought of the threats she had to face every time she had no choice but to obey him. This man had grasped too many of her weak points! She gritted her teeth and glared at the car that had already started flashing its headlights. She said angrily, ¡°Believe it or not, I¡¯ll sue you for drunk driving!¡± However, what answered her was the sound of a black Bentley speeding away. The degree of decisiveness when it left was no less than the day she ran away from the company and took a bus to T City. Rely on it! Was she getting revenge? Anhao was furious. ¡°Hello, Anhao, your Boss Zuo is so powerful. I thought he had forgotten about the van chasing us that day, but I suddenly received a call from the T City Public Security Bureau just now. They said that they had caught those people and told us not to worry. They even reminded us not to go to those places in the middle of the night.¡± When she received Huang Amao¡¯s call, Anhao was sitting on the sofa and staring at the beautiful ceiling with a bitter look on her face. Zuo Hancheng had been walking for a few hours, and it was already midnight. As he had said, he did not come back to stay. Anhao sat up as she answered the call and replied lazily,¡¯¡±¡® Oh, this kind of person just randomly called the police in T City to remind them that a few words were enough for those hooligans on the van to run into the sky and into the earth. It was quite normal.¡± She still had no idea how Han Ru had gone missing last time, but she could only find the reason from Zuo Hancheng. He was too secretive, but she was not stupid. She knew that he must have used some connections or methods that she did not expect. Anyway, she was too lazy to think about it sometimes. When Huang Amao called to mention this, Anhao leaned on the sofa and rubbed her nose.¡±¡±Do you have any way to prevent me from going abroad for the next two days?¡± ¡°What?¡± Huang Amao didn¡¯t understand at all. Anhao rolled her eyes and took out her phone to tell him that she was still in a cold war with Zuo Hancheng, but he wanted to bring her to the Zuo family in the United States. She didn¡¯t want to go, and so on. In short, it would be best if she didn¡¯t go to the United States! After listening for a long time, Huang Amao finally understood. In the end, she actually said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, have you lost your mind? Didn¡¯t you say that it was unrealistic for President Zuo to marry you? I also think that it¡¯s not very realistic, but now that Boss Zuo wants to bring you directly to meet your in-laws, this can be considered as clearing your name, but you¡¯re actually not going? Are you crazy?¡± Anhao thought about the phone call she received from Zuo¡¯s mother, Zuo Yue¡¯s temper, and the legendary old man who was waiting to hold his great-grandson. She was so distressed that she wanted to bang her head against the wall, but she did not know how to explain it to Huang Amao, who was even less simple-minded than her. After listening to Huang Amao ramble on about the benefits of going to the Zuo family in the United States, he was so happy that he held the phone to his ear and said angrily, ¡°¡±Huang Amao, it¡¯s midnight now. Do you want to hear a ghost story?¡± ¡°Huh? Ghost story? Why did he suddenly want to tell a ghost story? Are you possessed?¡± ¡°It is said that zombies eat human brains.¡±Anhao ignored her roar and started to nag. ¡°What? What zombie? What¡¯s wrong with eating brains? You know I¡¯m afraid of ghosts, so you¡¯re telling me stories in the middle of the night, right? Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really inhumane.¡± ¡°No, no, no, you don¡¯t have to be afraid.¡± ¡°Zombies definitely won¡¯t come looking for you,¡± Anhao said with a smile.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because you don¡¯t have a brain.¡± After that, Anhao sat on the sofa and laughed for a long time. Huang Amao was speechless. Was he being abused by Boss Zuo or something? Don¡¯t think that I couldn¡¯t tell that there was something wrong between the two of you when I was standing at the entrance of the hotel that night. You two are really shameless to leave me in the car for more than three hours.¡± Anhao choked back her laughter. Her heart was bleeding when she recalled the time Huang Amao mentioned. She was being abused and bullied in the hotel. ¡°Ha, I was right? There was actually no sound? Were you really bullied by Boss Zuo? How did he bully you? Tell me quickly and make me happy!¡± Anhao leaned weakly on the sofa and stared at a certain spot in the room with a sad expression. She sighed and said,¡¯¡±¡®Huang Amao, let¡¯s break off all ties.¡± ¡°Stop trying to change the topic.. Tell me, how did Boss Zuo, who has recently been promoted to the number one Prince Charming in my heart, bully you? Is there any very erotic or very violent force? Tell me the details, quickly!¡± Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: I Like You As Much As I Scared (1) Chapter 256: I Like You As Much As I Scared (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I asked you to help me think of a way not to go to the United States, okay? When did you become as gossipy as Chunchun!¡± ¡°This is called resource sharing. After all, you¡¯re the first among the three of us to get married first. Although it¡¯s indeed early, we¡¯ve shared many resource packs in the dormitory in the past.¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± I¡¯m not friends with you for a week. Goodbye!¡¯¡±¡® After saying that, she hung up and threw her phone aside. She buried her face into the sofa with a headache. What should I do, what should I do? I don¡¯t want to go to America! Two days later, Zuo Hancheng still stood her up. He did not come back to pick her up personally. Instead, he sent his all-powerful assistant, Mobai, over. Anhao had indeed thought of this in advance. After all, Zuo Hancheng was in a state where he wanted to cut off all ties with her but refused to let go. It was impossible for him to come back to pick her up on time. But it was Mobai. Anhao didn¡¯t take her luggage when she ran out of the neighborhood. After she saw the car, she directly sat in it. Seeing that she didn¡¯t bring any luggage, Mobai couldn¡¯t help but ask in confusion,¡¯¡±¡® Miss Gu, the flight you booked with President Zuo will take off in another hour. Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t packed your luggage yet¡­¡± ¡°Um, I¡¯m sorry. I lost my ID card. I might not be able to go abroad for the time being. ¡°Anhao chuckled. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s okay. President Zuo asked me to get you an ID card a few days ago. I just happened to get it back today.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡± Mobai smiled.¡± It was two days ago. President Zuo said that your ID card would suddenly disappear for no reason in these two days. He asked me to help you get a new one in advance so that you wouldn¡¯t be unable to find it when you needed it.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips trembled. She took two deep breaths and continued to smile.¡±Ah, the identity card can be reissued so quickly. With you guys around, everything is indeed done at lightning speed¡­¡± As she said that, she secretly cursed Mobai and Zuo Hancheng dozens of times in her heart. Then, she took a deep breath and said with a smile,¡±That¡­ Wasn¡¯t there a saying that people who were temporarily carrying criminal cases couldn¡¯t go abroad? I just met a few hooligans in T City. Those people are currently on trial in T City. I should be considered a witness who needs to cooperate with the police in a criminal case, so I shouldn¡¯t be able to go abroad¡­¡± ¡°Miss Gu doesn¡¯t need to interfere in this matter at all. Although President Zuo didn¡¯t mention it when he came back, I roughly knew about your matter when I received a call from the T City Public Security Bureau. Isn¡¯t your classmate surnamed Huang still in A City? She can be the witness for this matter. Moreover, President Zuo will be there. You don¡¯t have to go through so much trouble. Just make a phone call. It¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She couldn¡¯t take it anymore and looked at him. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Mobai, can¡¯t you tell that I don¡¯t want to go to America?¡± ¡°I can tell.¡± MO Bai smiled. ¡°Then why are you making things difficult for me?¡± ¡°Miss Gu is the one making things difficult for me now. Since President Zuo sent me to pick you up, if I didn¡¯t send you to the airport on time, I¡¯m afraid I would have been fired by President Zuo.¡± ¡°Stop joking. Why would he fire you over such a small matter? It¡¯s not like your company can kick someone out just because you want to.¡±Anhao raised her hand and waved it to show her disbelief.¡±¡±lt¡¯s useless for you to play a trick with me. This is all left over from my game.¡± Mobai¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± The problem is that my boss is not just anyone. President Zuo never jokes in the company.¡±¡® Anhao paused for a moment and looked at him with a lonely and suspicious expression.¡±So inhumane? You¡¯re not lying to me?¡± ¡°What kind of person is President Zuo in your impression?¡± Mobai smiled bitterly. Since President Zuo has entrusted me with the important task of bringing you to the airport, he must have trusted me and placed this responsibility on me. If I can¡¯t bring you to the airport in the end, it will be my dereliction of duty and my lack of ability. So, Miss Gu, please be kind and hurry up and pack your luggage.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t have a passport¡­¡± ¡°Your passport is ready. You just need to go to the airport.¡± Anhao immediately leaned her head against the car window and said tearlessly, ¡°¡±You guys are forcing me to death.¡± ¡°Miss Gu, hurry up and pack your luggage.¡± Seeing that Anhao refused to move, Mobai chuckled and said,¡±¡±Miss Gu, are you still angry about seeing Miss Rong outside the office that day?¡± Anhao paused and turned to look at him. You also know that there¡¯s something going on between Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue, right? He hugged the man in the room so tightly. Did he think I was blind? Then, he said something so righteous¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo and Miss Rong used to be together. The two of them were also popular topics in American entertainment newspapers. Their relationship was touching and envious.¡± Mobai suddenly interrupted her and continued when Anhao paused,¡±¡±But that was all in the past. Although this is my boss¡¯s private matter, Miss Gu and I are already considered acquaintances. Now that we¡¯re not in the company, I can only say a few more words. The past is the past, and now is the present. No matter how much Miss Rong wants President Zuo to go back to her, I know President Zuo. He will never be able to have any results with Miss Rong again. Besides, President Zuo treats you very well, Miss Gu. Can¡¯t you feel it?¡± Anhao was speechless for a moment. Her mind was in a mess, and she was still thinking about the words that Zuo Hancheng had said when he pressed her against the mirror cabinet. Can¡¯t you feel how good President Zuo is to you, Miss Gu? She could feel it, but it was too surreal. Rong Xue¡¯s appearance had shattered the weak feelings hidden under her strong will. Her life since she was young had long been destined to not turn her into a romantic person, but a person who could not be more realistic. She did not dare to have too many beautiful dreams. He had never dared to expect too much happiness. In fact, it was enough to give her a goal to live on. Her goal had never been very big. However, suddenly, Zuo Hancheng appeared in her life and held her in his hands. She was like a little girl selling matches, holding onto this little light, afraid that it would suddenly go out. If she relied too much on it, once the light went out, she would definitely freeze to death. Instead of living with trembling hope and finally being disappointed because of the broken dream, it was better to guard the line of defense in his heart. She was just quietly maintaining her last bit of rationality. Was she wrong? Anhao bit her lip and looked at the pedestrians outside the car window. She said softly,¡±¡±Are human feelings reliable? When I was young, there was someone who was especially good to me, but one day, he suddenly disappeared.¡± ¡°You¡¯re afraid that President Zuo will disappear, so you¡¯ve already given your heart to him a long time ago. You just don¡¯t want to admit it. The more afraid you are, the more you like him.¡± Anhao¡¯s entire body quivered when she heard that. She suddenly turned to look at Mobai.¡±Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve been possessed by Wenner! ¡° Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: I Like You As Much As I Scared (2) Chapter 257: I Like You As Much As I Scared (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, but she was speechless. She suddenly raised her hand and fastened her seatbelt.¡± I¡¯ll just leave like this. You guys have already prepared everything for me anyway. I don¡¯t need to take anything. She was indeed a willful little girl who relied on her youth. It was no wonder President Zuo was so angry with this girl that he didn¡¯t have a good expression in the company for the past few days. Mobai shook his head.¡± Don¡¯t you want me to go to America? This is the first time I, Gu Anhao, am going abroad. I should at least buy some clothes from abroad. I haven¡¯t worn any authentic foreign goods in my life. Since you guys can even get me an ID card in advance, do you still need me to bring clothes?¡± Mobai could hear the rebellious and sarcastic tone in her words. He only smiled.¡±¡±Alright, but¡­¡¯ Mobai looked at her up and down for a while, as if he was hinting at something, but he didn¡¯t know if he should say it. In the end, he still smiled. ¡°But Miss Gu, are you really going to wear pajamas to the airport like ¡°Why not?¡± Anhao turned her head to look out of the car window.¡±¡±lt¡¯s already good enough that I¡¯m willing to let you take me there now. Don¡¯t expect me to dress up beautifully and cooperate with you. I¡¯m just being kind so that you won¡¯t be fired. Mobai raised his eyebrows but didn¡¯t say anything else. Gu Anhao¡¯s fighting ability was not something he could handle. It seemed that other than President Zuo, no one else could do anything to her. At this moment, Mobai sincerely admired President Zuo for keeping Gu Anhao by his side for so long. It was only recently that he was finally provoked by this little girl. It seemed that he had underestimated President Zuo¡¯s patience. ¡°What are you thinking about? Are you going or not?¡± Anhao turned around and urged you¡¯re not going, I¡¯m going back to sleep. Mobai glanced at her pajamas again. Although they were all conservative and cute pajamas with long sleeves and long pants, they were still pajamas after all! He had a headache, but he still started the engine and drove away. On the way, Anhao¡¯s phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was a message from Huang Amai. ¡®Gu Anhao, are you sure you want to cut ties with me for a week? Did he have to be so determined that he didn¡¯t even pick up the call?¡¯ Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched as she picked up her phone to reply. ¡® Big Sis, I might have missed you because of the bad signal. I asked you to help me think of a way, but you didn¡¯t. I¡¯ve already been picked up by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s people. It¡¯s too late to say anything now.¡¯ ¡®Are you stupid? You don¡¯t know how to pretend to be sick? ¡®If pretending to be sick was useful, would I need to look for you?¡¯ Are you really stupid? My cold became serious after I came back from T City. Now, I have tears and snot running every day. I don¡¯t even have to go to the company to work as an intern. If you don¡¯t take this opportunity to pretend to be sick, it will definitely be too late to pretend in the future!¡¯ That¡¯s true! She and Huang Amao had just run down the mountain a few days ago, and one of them was already sick. If she pretended now, she would look more like it. Anhao put down her phone, rubbed her nose, and suddenly sneezed. Mobai was focused on driving. When he heard her sneeze, he asked casually,¡¯¡±¡® Did Miss Gu catch a cold?¡± Tsk, Assistant MO was indeed acting according to the script in her heart. Anhao sniffled.¡± Maybe. I caught a cold when I came back from T City a few days ago. I¡¯ve been alone at home for the past few days and I¡¯ve been running a fever. I haven¡¯t recovered yet.. As she spoke, she sneezed twice. ¡°It¡¯s probably because you donned too little. It¡¯s too cold to wear only one set of pajamas.¡± Mobai suddenly gestured for her to turn around.¡± There¡¯s a jacket in the glove compartment at the back of the car that President Zuo left here when he was in my car a few months ago. I¡¯ve already dry-cleaned it, but I¡¯ve been keeping it here and forgot to return it to him. Take it out and wear it.¡¯¡±¡® He actually didn¡¯t follow her script! Anhao looked at him, raised her hand to her nose and sneezed twice in a row. Mobai held the steering wheel with one hand and suddenly handed her a pack of tissues with the other. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you wipe your nose after sneezing so much?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She took a piece of tissue and pretended to wipe her nose twice. Then, she covered her nose with the tissue and said,¡±¡±Well, I¡¯m so seriously ill. Why don¡¯t we do it another day¡­¡± However, just as she finished speaking, Mobai suddenly stopped the car. Just as she was overjoyed, she saw Mobai smile and say,¡±l thought President Zuo had already gone to the airport. It turns out that he¡¯s only preparing to leave now. That¡¯s good. You can take President Zuo¡¯s car.¡± Anhao looked at him strangely. She turned around and saw Mobai¡¯s car parked by the roadside in front of Shengling Group¡¯s plaza. Right in front of their car was the black Bentley that she couldn¡¯t be more familiar with. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had just come out of the company and was about to get into the car when he saw Mobai¡¯s car stop in front of him. Anhao met his gaze in the car and her face tightened. She rolled her eyes but did not say anything. Mobai glanced at her and laughed in his heart. Gu Anhao was really rebellious in front of others. When she met President Zuo, she was like a mouse meeting a cat. Although she was not convinced, she had to restrain herself. Mobai was the first to get out of the car. He walked over to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car and said something to him. Anhao suddenly felt uneasy in the car. It was fine to show off in front of Mobai. Regardless of whether she was exposed or not, Mobai would not expose her, and at least he would give her some face and let her continue to mess around. However, once she was in front of Zuo Hancheng, she could not pretend to be anything. Why would she still need to act? Mobai had directly said that he would hand her over to Zuo Hancheng. It was obvious that he did not intend to fight with her again. This was a smart move. As expected of the personal assistant of the CEO of Shengling Group. Mobai nodded at Zuo Hancheng, turned around, and walked back. He opened Anhao¡¯s car door and said politely, ¡°¡±Miss Gu, get out of the car.¡± Anhao sat in the car without moving and muttered,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t we agree that you would send me to the airport?¡± ¡°But President Zuo hasn¡¯t left yet. Isn¡¯t it better for you to go with President LUU: ¡°Good, your head,¡± Anhao pursed her lips and unwillingly got out of the car. She didn¡¯t take her coat from Mobai¡¯s car, but turned around and walked to the black Bentley. Zuo Hancheng stood on the other side of the car. The collar of his black trench coat fluttered slightly in the sudden cold wind. His handsome face still had a distant and cold expression. He only glanced at her and signaled her to get into the car with his eyes.. Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: I Like You As Much As I Scared (3) Chapter 258: I Like You As Much As I Scared (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao rolled her eyes at him, opened the car door, and got in. It was not until the car door opened on the other side and Zuo Hancheng got into the car that he felt a little cold. She was already wearing very little, and she did not wear a coat when she got out of the car just now, but she did not feel too cold. However, as soon as he sat beside her, she immediately shivered. Look, look, this man had indeed abused her to the point that she was abnormal. ¡°You came out wearing pajamas and not even a coat. Is it so that I can ask you to fulfill your duty as Mrs. Zuo before I board the plane?¡± Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice was heard. Anhao was slow for a second, but in the next second, she immediately understood what he meant. She gritted her teeth and said,¡±¡±Beast!¡± She couldn¡¯t find any other words to describe the bullying she had experienced for the first time. After she finished speaking, she moved her body towards the car door as if she wanted to reject him. She raised her hand and covered her collar.¡±l came out in my pajamas as a silent resistance. Don¡¯t think about it that way.¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless even if you say it out loud. What effect can a silent resistance have?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to be polite to her, and his face turned green. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Sit properly!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her. He looked straight ahead and the car sped out of the parking lot as soon as he finished speaking. Anhao was pushed back by his sudden driving speed and hurriedly pulled her seatbelt. Just as Anhao turned her head to look at the scenery outside the car window unhappily, she suddenly saw a few rolling big screens on the bustling street not far away, showing the recent advertisement shot by Rong Xue. She immediately stared at the face on the big screen, carefully examining how she resembled her. However, there was only one exquisite face in the thick makeup. It was a makeup advertisement. The makeup was thicker than usual, and it was almost impossible to see her original appearance. Ann¡¯s eyes hurt a little. She looked away and saw the latest limited edition red BMW parked at the intersection ahead. The owner of the BMW seemed to have recognized the car that was heading towards this intersection from afar. When they stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light, the window of the BMW rolled down, revealing a delicate and beautiful face that was just like the one on the big screen. How could it be so coincidental that Xue¡¯s car was here? In the car, Rong Xue pressed the horn twice. After she rolled down the window, she smiled in that direction. However, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not see anything. He did not care about the person in the car beside him at all. He was so cold that it was as if the person in the car was a strange woman who had been admiring him for a long time. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was ignoring her, Anhao naturally did not roll down the car window. She only turned to look at Rong Xue who was in the car. Since the window was not rolled down, Rong Xue should not be able to see that she was in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car. When the red light ended, the black Bentley sped away without any intention of slowing down. The red BMW behind them followed for a while before it was left behind by the traffic jam at the next intersection. The next moment, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone rang. He picked up the call without even looking at it. Anhao vaguely heard Rongxue¡¯s voice on the phone, but she did not know what she was talking about. Zuo Hancheng listened for a while, but there was no response, so he hung up the phone. This made Anhao anxious. She did not hear what Rong Xue was saying, and Zuo Hancheng did not say anything either. There was no way for her to analyze what the two of them were talking about. ¡°Miss Rong called?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but ask. What did she say to you?¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at the car in front of him coldly. He did not look at her and said in a cold voice,¡±¡±You want to know?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Calling your ex-girlfriend in front of your own wife. As Mrs. Zuo, I have the right to know, right?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°She saw that I was going in the same direction as her and asked me if I wanted to go to the exhibition hall in the suburbs. We planned to go out for coffee after the exhibition hall and get to know each other.¡±As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he turned and glanced at her coldly.¡±¡±Are you satisfied?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first, but after a long while, she softly said,¡± Oh.¡± ¡°What do you mean by ¡®oh¡¯?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± ¡°What I mean is that you don¡¯t have to take me to the airport. You can drop me off at the exhibition hall in front. You can go and get to know your ex-girlfriend while I take a taxi home!¡± Even though Anhao¡¯s heart was aching, she realized what kind of feelings she had for Zuo Hancheng because of Mobai¡¯s reminder. However, she still refused to give in. However, just as she finished speaking, the car suddenly braked. Her head jerked forward and she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had almost scared her out of her wits.¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Get out of the car!¡± His expression did not change, but his voice was so cold that it made her freeze. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold side profile in disbelief.¡±¡±Get off here? They were almost at the road ahead, so they couldn¡¯t even get a taxi, alright?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo is really generous. You allowed me to have coffee with my so-called ex-girlfriend so easily. Since you¡¯ve already asked, why would I bring you so far away from the exhibition hall? If you get out of the car now, you can go back anytime.¡± Anhao¡¯s breathing stagnated, and in a blink of an eye, she looked outside the car. There were no cars passing by. She was furious, but she knew that Zuo Hancheng was trying to teach her a lesson. Although she did not want to catch a cold after getting out of the car, she still unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Anyway, she would not beg him! The car door had just been closed and suddenly opened again. A black windbreaker was thrown out. She subconsciously caught it. She looked up and saw the car suddenly disappear. Anhao shivered from the cold. She picked up her coat and put it on. Very tactfully, she wrapped her clothes tightly. Then, she blew on her hand and turned around to look around. Fortunately, the jacket she was wearing was a long windbreaker that Zuo Hancheng had left in the car. It could basically cover her feet and she would not feel so cold. Although she did not seem to care, she was still cursing his ancestors in her heart. Bastard! She had never seen such a difficult man in her life. It was her bad luck that she, Gu Anhao, had fallen into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands. If she had to blame someone, she should have blamed herself for falling into his arms when she was drunk! A cold wind blew Dast. She raised her arms and hugged her chest. She trembled as she walked back. She didn¡¯t know how far she was from the car. Suddenly, the familiar sound of a car came from behind her. Anhao paused and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng driving back and stopping beside her. The damned man got out of the car before she could react. He slammed the car door and walked towards her.. Chapter 259 - Chapter 259: I Like You As Much As I Scared (4) Chapter 259: I Like You As Much As I Scared (4) Translator: 549690339 The moment Zuo Hancheng walked over, Anhao instinctively hugged her coat tightly and took a step back, afraid that he would inhumanely run over and snatch the coat that he had just thrown at her. However, Zuo Hancheng did not say a word. With an ugly expression on his face, he reached out and grabbed her by the collar as if he was picking up a little chick. He pulled her to the car door, opened the door, and threw her in. Anhao sat down in the car with a thud, but she turned around with a surprised expression and cursed out of the car door,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you crazy?!¡± ¡°I told you to get out of the car. Are you sick?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her expressionlessly and closed the car door. He turned around and walked to the other side of the car. He opened the door and sat inside. An Hao had just sat down when she turned around and looked at him strangely.¡±Do you expect me to beg you? There should be a car nearby. If it really doesn¡¯t work, you can leave me there and get off the car. I¡¯ll take a taxi back myself.. ¡°Shut up.¡± Anhao froze and stopped talking. She just turned her head away and refused to look at him. The black Bentley sped along the highway at an extremely fast speed. Half an hour later, it did not stop when it passed by the so-called exhibition hall. It continued to drive toward the airport further away. Anhao was sitting in the car and texting Huang Amao. Huang Amao said that he had just received a call from T City, saying that the case had been closed and that they could rest assured. Huang Amao was impressed by Zuo Hancheng. Normally, the police wouldn¡¯t solve a small case that didn¡¯t cost any lives so quickly. However, once Zuo Hancheng took action, the police in T City formed a team overnight to investigate the case. Anhao rolled her eyes when she saw the comments praising and worshipping Zuo Hancheng on the screen. She then threw her phone into her bag. The car arrived at the airport without any obstructions. When Anhao got off the car, although she was wrapped in a coat, she was still shivering in the wind. She felt that this place was even colder than the city. Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her and walked straight ahead. She did not bring anything else with her except her bag, not even money. If she did not follow him in, she would probably wander back to the city, so she quickly followed him. There was still an hour before boarding time when they entered the airport lobby. Someone had already completed the procedures for them in advance. They were supposed to go through the VIP passage the entire time, but Zuo Hancheng gave up on the VIP passage before they entered the security check. Instead, he brought Anhao to two women¡¯s clothing stores outside the airport lobby. When the staff saw Zuo Hancheng, their eyes lit up. However, when they walked up to him and saw Gu Anhao wearing a long bear pajamas and running to the airport, they immediately covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Anhao rolled her eyes at them and walked behind Zuo Hancheng. She could not help but mutter,¡±¡±What are you laughing at? Haven¡¯t you seen someone wearing pajamas before? Perhaps it would be a trend to wear pajamas in the future.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and turned around to glare at her coldly.¡±¡±lf you don¡¯t want to lose face overseas, go in and choose a few sets of clothes yourself.¡± Anhao raised her hand and rubbed her arms that were covered in goosebumps. It was indeed very cold to come out in her pajamas. Since they were already at the airport, it was useless to resist. It was more important to keep warm so that they would not suffer if they fell sick. She immediately turned around and looked at the row of clothes on the shelf behind the two of them. When she saw the price tag on the clothes, she immediately swallowed her saliva. ¡°The things here are too expensive. They are two times more expensive than the most ordinary clothes in the high-end shopping malls in City A.¡± As she spoke, she started to grumble instinctively. She did not think that spending Zuo Hancheng¡¯s money would do anything, but when she saw the clothes that were worth at most one to two thousand dollars being priced at seven to eight thousand or even ten thousand dollars, she felt a pang of pain. She felt that if she really bought the clothes here, she would be a big head! ¡°Let¡¯s go to another restaurant.¡±For the first time in so many days, it was the first time that she reached out to touch Zuo Hancheng. She grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the women¡¯s clothing store. Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly and allowed her to go to the house opposite. After entering the shop, Anhao saw the clothes that were only a few hundred yuan and became excited. She pointed at them and said,¡±¡±This, that, this, that¡­ Yes, yes, yes, wrap these up for me! I don¡¯t need a bag for that one. I¡¯ll wear that one later. Yes, it¡¯s that one. Give me the size. I¡¯ll go to the changing room!¡± In the end, she bought a bunch of clothes and a pink Hello Kitty suitcase. All the miscellaneous things added up to more than 10,000 yuan, but Anhao felt a sense of accomplishment. She had spent so much money to buy so many things. It was much better than spending 10,000 yuan on a piece of clothing. Other than the pink Hello Kitty suitcase that annoyed her, she was extremely satisfied with everything else. When they entered the specialty stores in the waiting room to buy luggage, Anhao originally wanted to buy a blue Doraemon, but Zuo Hancheng saw the pink Hello Kitty luggage at the door and bought it directly. After buying it, he did not wait for Anhao to reject it and turned around to say coldly,¡±¡±Pink suits you.¡± Anhao stood rooted to the spot and looked at the pink suitcase that was messy in the wind. This was not her style at all! However, since she had already bought it, and it was very expensive, she could not reject it. She could only carry the girly broken box and follow his footsteps. Even if it was a direct flight from A City to Los Angeles, it still took a long time. Anhao slept on the plane again and again. When she got off the plane, she was already lazy. When she walked out of the airport through the VIP passage, she thought that someone from Shengling Group in Los Angeles would come to pick her up. She never expected it to be the butler of the Zuo residence. Anhao shivered when she heard the word ¡®housekeeper¡¯ and she was no longer sleepy. She quietly followed behind Zuo Hancheng and whispered, ¡®¡±Butler? Is there really a butler?¡± ¡°The Zuo family will satisfy you with all the mansions, villas, butlers, and servants you want,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly as she approached.¡± Anhao¡¯s jaw almost fell to the ground. She was completely stunned. She followed him into the butler¡¯s car in a daze. She sat in the car and stared blankly at all the facilities in the RV that was worth tens of millions. She stared blankly at the white-haired butler and Zuo Hancheng sitting on the sofa in the RV and talking in English with a smile. The butler looked Chinese, so why was he speaking English to Zuo Hancheng? Bullying her for not understanding American English? Anhao sat at the bar counter and poured herself a glass of fruit juice. She looked back at the scenery that flashed past the window and sighed silently in her heart. So rich people did not just live in novels. Zuo Hancheng was just too low-key.. Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: I Like You As Much As I Scared (5) Chapter 260: I Like You As Much As I Scared (5) Translator: 549690339 Although he didn¡¯t understand American English, he could more or less make out some of the words in the conversation. For example, the white-haired butler said something about parents, grandfather, health, missing, and so on. For example, Zuo Hancheng said some words like sorry, busy, China, business, and so on. With that, Anhao could guess what they were talking about, so she drank her juice and watched them chat. The RV was fully equipped, and there were even a few bottles of 1982 Lafite on the wine rack next to it. She was stunned when she saw it. However, just as she was about to get up and touch the bottles of Lafite, the butler¡¯s eyes suddenly glanced at her. Anhao was frightened. She felt like she was a little like Granny Liu who was surprised and curious about everything she saw when she entered the Grand View Garden. It was really too embarrassing. She could only retract her hand and sit back on the bar counter. She secretly pouted. This butler looked so difficult to deal with. If she really entered the Zuo family, would she be eaten alive? On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng acted as if she did not exist at all. After talking to the butler, he received two phone calls. They were also speaking in American English. It sounded like he was explaining something to the person in charge of the company in Los Angeles. After all, he was back in America, and the company here would always need him, the big BOSS, to investigate. It was not until the butler got up and went to the front to talk to the driver that only Anhao and Zuo Hancheng were left in the RV. When he put down the phone, Anhao was still planning to have a cold war with Zuo Hancheng, but she was still worried that he would not help her when she entered the Zuo family¡¯s house, so she began to make a small concession and asked softly, ¡°¡±That¡­ It¡¯s my first time visiting your house. Do you need me to prepare any gifts?¡± Zuo Hancheng seemed to have just remembered that there was a troublemaker in the car. He glanced at her with a cold gaze. ¡°What do you want to prepare?¡± Anhao had never deliberately gone to see any elders. In the past, when she was in the Gu family, she had never been qualified to go out and meet the elders who came to visit the Gu family from outside. The Gu family would also not bring her, an illegitimate daughter, to visit anyone, so she had no experience in this area. She racked her brains for a long time before muttering, ¡°They don¡¯t seem to lack anything. What should I give them?¡± ¡°Send a child.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Anhao picked up the glass of fruit juice nervously and wanted to take a sip to calm herself down. However, she almost spat it out the moment she drank it. ¡°I¡¯m not a magician who can conjure up a child just because I say so. Besides, I¡¯m still a child myself. How dare you poison me like this!¡± Anhao walked away from the bar counter and turned to the window to look at the buildings on the streets of Los Angeles. After thinking for a while, she said, don¡¯t care. Anyway, you asked me to come with you. If you don¡¯t want me to embarrass you, you can solve the gift problem.¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed but did not refuse. At this moment, the butler walked back and saw Gu Anhao standing by the window. Although he looked at her as if she was a stranger, it was obvious that the butler already knew who Gu Anhao was. When Anhao turned around and happened to look at the butler, the white-haired butler nodded politely at her but did not call her. The butler turned around and said a few words of English to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.¡±Uncle Chen, we¡¯ll start communicating in Chinese now. The person beside you is already scratching her head anxiously. If we continue to talk in English, she¡¯ll probably jump out of the car in a few minutes. Since when did Zuo Hancheng understand her so well? Anhao was so angry that she wanted to jump out of the car just now! Although it was just a thought, since when did he become a worm in her stomach and know what she was thinking! Anhao opened her mouth and turned to look at the butler. The butler also turned to look at her with a faint smile and smiled politely at her.¡±Miss Gu, I¡¯m the butler of the Zuo residence. You can call me Uncle Chen.¡¯ This seemingly polite butler had actually been too proud to greet her just now. It was obvious that he had the intention to bully her. Now, he was definitely greeting her because of Zuo Hancheng. Anhao raised her hand and waved it casually. She answered perfunctorily,¡±¡±Ah, Uncle Chen, hello.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not look too good. He looked at the butler and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Uncle Chen already know about Anhao¡¯s relationship with me? You called her Miss Gu?¡± The butler turned around and smiled.¡± Mr. Zuo, you know what the old man means. I¡¯ve been with the old man my whole life and I don¡¯t dare to disobey him. Even if I¡¯m not in front of the old man now, I don¡¯t dare to call him Young Madam unless the old man agrees. Otherwise¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. Instead, he suddenly looked at her while she was still in a daze. Feeling Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, Anhao suddenly came back to her senses. Could it be that the legendary Old Master Zuo did not intend to let her in at all, so he sent this butler to give her a tactful show of strength? Then what the hell was that person who was clamoring to hold his great-grandson? She turned back to look at Zuo Hancheng. When their eyes met, she did not know what he was thinking, but his eyes were still cold and indifferent, without the indulgence and warmth that he used to give her. ¡°Mr. Zuo, please rest first. I will come back after we reach the Zuo residence.¡±The butler turned around and nodded at Gu Anhao. He still smiled politely and walked back to the front. Anhao suddenly raised her head and covered her head.¡±Aiya, my head hurts. I think I might have a cold and need to go to the hospital for treatment. Can you send me to the hospital¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up and met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she put down her hand that was covering her head. She turned around and sat down by the window.¡±Let me tell you, if I suffer any grievances in your Zuo family, I will definitely flip over the roof of your house. So, do as you see fit. If someone bullies me and you don¡¯t stand on my side, I will flip over the roof.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked calm.¡± Anhao was speechless. In the end, Anhao only realized the hidden meaning behind Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words when she arrived at the Zuo residence. Looking at the legendary manor and the vast Zuo Mansion from afar, not to mention the villa inside, even the statue in front of the manor was not something she could lift! She gulped and stood in front of the door, not daring to enter. Zuo Hancheng turned around and glanced at her.¡±Didn¡¯t you want to go in and lift the roof?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched fiercely, and she braced herself and said, ¡°¡±lf I really do it, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to afford it in ten lifetimes.. I won¡¯t do this kind of losing business!¡± Chapter 261 - Chapter 261: The Zuo Family of the United States (1) Chapter 261: The Zuo Family of the United States (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng scoffed,¡± If you were so sensible earlier, you wouldn¡¯t have brought me back to the Zuo residence without any mental preparation. You brought this upon yourself.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao immediately raised her eyes and glared at him. I clearly¡­¡± However, her voice suddenly stopped. She lowered her head and looked at the hand that suddenly reached out to hold her. ¡°Follow me, and you can display your true nature in front of others. There¡¯s no need to be too reserved. Don¡¯t speak nonsense in front of the old man.¡± Without waiting for Anhao to mentally prepare herself, he led her in. ¡°Mister Zuo.¡± ¡°Hello, Mister Zuo¡­¡± ¡°Mister Zuo.¡± When they walked into the main entrance of the manor, the servants who were repairing the flowers and plants and the maintenance staff of the manor turned around and saw them. They all nodded politely and respectfully at Zuo Hancheng. Anhao looked up at her surroundings. This place could no longer be described as a mansion. The Zuo Mansion was a genuine Chinese business family, and it was not the kind of villa that suddenly became rich. It was obviously a luxurious American manor with a long history. There were several buildings and courtyards in the mansion. When Anhao walked to a high place from afar, she even saw a veranda, open-air terrace, garden and other facilities. This was a super mansion. Zuo Hancheng grew up in such a house? However, he did not have any arrogance or arrogance. He was so low-key that she thought he was just a self-made CEO of Shengling Group. However, at this moment, Anhao seemed to have heard that the Zuo family was not just a group like Shengling. Shengling was only Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personal property. The other companies were obviously handled by his grandfather, father, and mother. This is how the family is so well, completely unable to imagine, even more simply not a mere mayor¡¯s daughter or a domestic enterprise¡¯s stepdaughter can guess the life. Anhao was completely dumbfounded. She had always insisted that she did not have any inferiority complex, but at this moment, although she did not have any inferiority complex, she was absolutely intimidated to the point that she did not have any spirit. She could only follow closely behind Zuo Hancheng. Facing the servants who were greeting them, Anhao saw that Zuo Hancheng only had a taint smile on his tace as he walked past. Anhao did not say anything and just glanced at the people around her. She thought to herself that the facilities in the CEO¡¯s novels that she had mentioned before paled in comparison to the manor that was so big that her jaw almost dropped. Zuo Hancheng was actually so calm that he did not mention that his home in America was like this. In her mind, Zuo Hancheng was just a big BOSS of a well-known big company, and he was an invisible tycoon who lived in a decent double-story apartment in A City. That was all. But now, Anhao realized that her understanding of Zuo Hancheng was more than just a little bit. It was clearly a drop in the ocean. This kind of man who didn¡¯t show off was really terrifying. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you shouting? It¡¯s so unlike you to be so quiet.¡± When she was about to reach the villa in front of her, Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned around and glanced at her. Anhao swallowed her saliva. After a long while, she straightened her neck and whispered, was stunned.¡± Fortunately, Gu An was relatively honest in this regard. Her small hand was held by him. She was originally passive, but she suddenly felt a little nervous. She suddenly took the initiative to reach out her other hand and put it on their intertwined hands. Just like that, she followed him into the villa. She tried her best to ignore the 17th-century floral mirror carved by a famous master hanging on the wall in front of the villa. She also tried her best to ignore the French hand-carved limestone on the ceiling. She even tried her best to ignore the fact that the furniture was a series designated by the British royal family. Just the crystal stone and amethyst chandelier from the 18th world were enough to dazzle her eyes. This was not the family of an ordinary invisible rich man. Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±People born with a silver spoon in their mouths are like you. You¡¯re too hateful!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± My father and above are all Chinese Americans. Chinese blood flows in my veins, but I¡¯m already a deeply rooted American citizen. This was destined when the Zuo family established themselves in the United States two hundred years ago. So you don¡¯t have to worry too much. My parents are more open-minded. Other than the old man¡¯s stubbornness, you won¡¯t have any problems here.¡± Anhao secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, when she thought of the incident when she mistakenly answered Mrs. Zuo¡¯s call, her heart started to worry again. At this moment, Butler Chen walked in from behind and said with a smile, ¡°Old Mr. Zuo and his wife are attending a parliament meeting in New York. They will be back around midnight tonight.. Before the butler could finish his sentence, a scream came from the front. ¡°Sister-in-law!¡± Anhao suddenly turned around and saw Zuo Yue, who was wearing pink pajamas, running out of the corridor. Her face was full of excitement. Anhao was relieved to see a familiar tace. She could not help but smile. The moment Zuo Yue ran over, the two young girls hugged each other passionately. The butler was a little stunned as he watched from the side. Obviously, he did not expect Gu Anhao to be able to handle a young lady with a temper like Zuo Yue¡¯s and to have such a good relationship with her. Of course, it was only for a moment. The butler said very consciously,¡±Then I won¡¯t disturb you. Mr. Zuo, your room has always been cleaned. You can take Miss Gu to rest.¡± With that, the butler turned around and left. After the butler left, Zuo Yue turned around and stuck out her tongue at the butler¡¯s back. She then held Anhao¡¯s arm tightly and dragged Anhao away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side. She said happily, ¡®¡±¡®1 knew you would definitely come. Sis-in-law, you¡¯re in my territory now, so you don¡¯t have to be so reserved. If anyone dares to bully you in my house, you can mention my name!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and massaged the space between his eyebrows. When Anhao followed Zuo Yue out of the corridor, she found out that their real residence was in the courtyard behind them. The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, making people completely forget the cold winter before they boarded the plane. Anhao saw the tranquil atmosphere in the courtyard behind them and felt much more relaxed. This place was much more relaxing than the luxurious Mei Manor in front of them. However, when Zuo Yue was about to bring her to the secluded pool behind the courtyard to soak in the hot spring, an old man holding a cane suddenly walked out from the front. The old man¡¯s beard was already white. Although his beard was not very long, he looked like he had taken good care of himself. He looked at least seventy or eighty years old. Anhao saw the sharp gaze in the old man¡¯s eyes and instinctively stopped in her tracks. When Zuo Yue saw the old man, she whispered into Anhao¡¯s ear,¡±¡±This is my grandfather. ¡± Nani? The legendary Old Master Zuo? Anhao¡¯s heart almost jumped.. Chapter 262 - Chapter 262: The Zuo Family of the United States (2) Chapter 262: The Zuo Family of the United States (2) Translator: 549690339 As Old Master Zuo walked over with his walking stick, Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Suddenly, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps approaching from behind her. Her heart, which had been hanging in the air, relaxed slightly because of his approach. The main reason was that Master Zuo¡¯s aura was too oppressive. Anhao had no experience in meeting elders, so she only knew that she should not be too indulgent and speak carelessly like usual. She could only say things like lifting the roof in front of Zuo Hancheng, but in front of the Zuo family, even if she could not pretend to be a good girl, she had to maintain a sensible state and not speak carelessly. ¡°Looks like I don¡¯t even need to ask. Grandpa¡¯s body is clearly stronger than five years ago.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words came from behind her. He walked to Anhao¡¯s side and spoke calmly. ¡°Ridiculous!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, which sounded like flattery, did not have any effect on the old man¡¯s ears. He only cursed angrily with an ugly expression,¡±Han City! You¡¯re too ridiculous! Previously, Zuo Yue said that you married a young lady who hasn¡¯t even reached the age of twenty. I thought that Zuo Yue was just fooling me! I didn¡¯t expect you to marry a random girl to deal with me! ¡± The old man¡¯s roar scared Zuo Yue so much that she quickly let go of Anhao¡¯s hand. She turned around and found an excuse to escape. From the corner of her eyes, Anhao saw Zuo Yue¡¯s back as she ran away in a hurry. Her eyelids twitched. Who was the one who said that she only needed to mention her name in the Zuo family? Now, he was actually the first to run away! However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes remained calm. At the same time, he held Anhao¡¯s hand again and held it tightly as if he was silently comforting her. The cold war and stalemate of the past few days seemed to have disappeared in an instant. No matter how angry Zuo Hancheng was before, he would protect her by her side every time she was about to be hurt. This kind of tight grip made Anhao¡¯s heart feel warm and almost melted. For a moment, she was no longer so nervous. She gathered her courage and looked at Old Master Zuo who was blowing his beard and glaring at her. ¡°Grandpa, hello. I¡¯m Gu Anhao. I¡¯ll be twenty in a week.¡± ¡°Shut up! You have no place to speak here!¡± Old Master Zuo suddenly glared at her, completely impolite. Anhao blinked and smiled again. At the same time, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, she said with her eyes,¡± Your old master has a bad temper! Zuo Hancheng smiled and looked at the old man again.¡±¡±l haven¡¯t been back for five years, so you didn¡¯t have to start scolding me the moment I entered the house. No matter what, Anhao is your granddaughter-in-law first.¡± ¡°What guest? I think you¡¯re the guest!¡± ¡± Ever since you moved Sheng Ling out of the United States five years ago, you¡¯ve only returned to the United States for a few days. You¡¯ve only returned to Los Angeles a few times, but you¡¯ve never found the time to go home. You¡¯re always in a hurry. Do you really think that I can live a long life and wait for you to come back?¡±¡± ¡°If I hadn¡¯t forced you back this time, would you have waited until my funeral to come back and take a look? You haven¡¯t been willing to go home for so many years. Do you even treat this place as your home? Do you still have me in your eyes?¡± Even though Old Master Zuo had already said so much, there was no hesitation or fear on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face. His calmness made Anhao feel at ease. She couldn¡¯t help but look at his handsome and perfect face. She didn¡¯t know how he would respond to the old master¡¯s scolding and making things difficult for her. ¡°Although Shengling is the Zuo family¡¯s business, it was taken over by me at the beginning of its establishment. From its initial appearance to its top position in the American business world, it took more than effort. Moving away from Los Angeles five years ago would have consumed a lot of energy and resources. You also started doing business when you were young, so you should understand the hardships better than me. Even though I didn¡¯t have time to go back to the Zuo residence when I returned to Los Angeles several times, you should know the reason. It¡¯s not just because I¡¯m busy, I can¡¯t make more space in my schedule.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this! You¡¯re clearly avoiding me by not coming back! Do you really think I can¡¯t defeat you when I¡¯m old? You dare to play with my brain just because you¡¯re young? Don¡¯t forget that the blood of the Zuo family flows in your veins. I¡¯m your grandfather! Even if you stand here and don¡¯t say anything, I know what you¡¯re thinking!¡± ¡°Oh? Then what am I thinking?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not retort. Instead, he asked with a faint smile. Old Master Zuo¡¯s face turned even uglier, but he suddenly looked at Gu Anhao. Anhao shivered when she saw the old man¡¯s gaze. She felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand gently change direction and interlocked with hers, filling her heart with a sense of security and courage. Actually, this old man seemed so difficult to deal with. He didn¡¯t give others face when he spoke, but it just so happened that people like him were the easiest to deal with. He just didn¡¯t know if this old man would fall for his tricks. ¡°Grandpa, although I¡¯m young, I¡¯m an adult after all. If you¡­¡± ¡°Did I let you speak?¡± Old Master Zuo looked at her sternly.¡±¡±Shut up before I tell you to speak.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice paused. Although she felt that it was a little embarrassing, she had to admit defeat to an 80-year-old man who was once a legendary figure in the American business world. Therefore, she shut her mouth and gave up on communicating with this stubborn old man. ¡® I¡¯m already married to Anhao,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± This is a fact that you can¡¯t refute no matter how much you object to it, Grandpa.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°In order to move Sheng Ling out of the United States, you used extreme means to create dual citizenship. Currently, your marriage with this little girl is only protected by Chinese law, but it will not be recognized by me! Before you get married in the local way in the United States, don¡¯t even think about getting married to this little girl¡­¡± ¡°Before I returned to the States, I had already ordered someone to complete the marriage procedures for me and Anhao in Los Angeles. The procedures have already been completed and are on the way to the Zuo residence.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was neither servile nor overbearing. He smiled and said, ¡°¡±Grandfather, I have thought of everything that you can think of. What you can¡¯t think of is what you can¡¯t reject the most.¡± ¡°What did I not think of?¡± Old Master Zuo narrowed his eyes, a hint of unwillingness in them. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and suddenly glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±Are you sure you don¡¯t want the child in her stomach?¡± Anhao almost staggered, but she did not dare to show too much shock on her face. She looked up at the same stunned look in Master Zuo¡¯s eyes and carefully poked Zuo Hancheng¡¯s palm with her finger. Indeed, one could not judge a book by its cover. When a person like Zuo Hancheng lied, even she almost believed him! But was there a need to use such a method to deceive the old master? How could there be a child in her stomach? Was he trying to force a beautiful girl to her death? Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: The Zuo Family of the United States (3) Chapter 263: The Zuo Family of the United States (3) Translator: 549690339 As expected, Zuo Hancheng knew the old man¡¯s weakness. While the old man was stunned, he gently pushed Anhao forward and let her get closer to the old man. Anhao¡¯s face tensed up. She walked to a distance of three to four meters in front of the old man and quickly stood still. Just as Anhao was at a loss for words, Zuo Hancheng added,¡±¡±Anhao isn¡¯t a child. You can tell that she¡¯s an adult. Besides, our marriage is legal. In addition, she¡¯s just pregnant with a child. Grandpa, are you sure you want to give up this great-grandson that you¡¯ve waited so long for?¡± Old Master Zuo looked at Gu An up and down in disbelief. Anhao also couldn¡¯t believe that Zuo Hancheng had lied. His two sentences successfully made the old man so angry that he slammed the ground with his walking stick. ¡°Han Cheng, is this your repayment for my years of nurturing you?¡± Old Master Zuo¡¯s voice was no longer as loud and clear as before. He stared at Zuo Hancheng with a pair of old but spirited eyes. He was not angry, but he was stern. Anhao, who had always been smart, did not know what to say. On the one hand, she was not pregnant at all, so she was not mentally prepared for what to do. Now that she saw her father¡¯s expression, she felt that it was better to shut up and protect herself first. ¡°Grandfather¡¯s wish in return is that I should have listened to your arrangements five years ago and married the Miss Cheng that you were satisfied with? Let her be your granddaughter-in-law?¡± Old Master Zuo¡¯s face turned ugly. He glared at him and said,¡±¡±l¡¯ve never forced you to do anything in my life, but you.. Anhao was a little confused as she listened. She also saw that Old Master Zuo¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment and hurt. She had no idea what happened between Zuo Hancheng and Old Master Zuo five years ago. Was it not because of Rong Xue that Zuo Hancheng left the United States five years ago? Was it because of the Zuo family? so¡­ Had she misunderstood something? Just as she was in a daze, the butler, Uncle Chen, suddenly walked over.¡±Old Master, Miss Cheng is here. Old Master Zuo and Madam are still on the way. Should we eat now or wait?¡± Old Master Zuo paused and looked at the butler coldly.¡±¡±They won¡¯t be back until midnight at the earliest. Are you waiting for them to come back before eating? Do you want us to starve to death? Let Chengxin rest first. I¡¯ll go over later.¡± The butler nodded and turned to leave. Anhao was initially confused and did not understand the situation at all. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s originally calm face had a hint of displeasure and impatience. Zuo Hancheng and his grandfather seemed to have a close relationship, but it seemed that the two of them were not that close. On the contrary, there seemed to be a lot of unhappy things between them. She turned around and retreated to his side. Standing beside him, she whispered, ¡°Who is Chengxin?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. When the old man looked at them again, he said, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s been five years, but it seems like Grandpa still hasn¡¯t figured it out.¡± Laozi Zuo also glanced at them with an ugly expression.¡±Don¡¯t think that you can convince me by talking about this little girl¡¯s belly. Such a thin little girl, since she¡¯s just pregnant, it¡¯s not certain whether she can keep the child. Don¡¯t blame me for being harsh, but it¡¯s not that easy to enter our Zuo family!¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment and did not say anything. She suddenly raised her hand and took the initiative to hold Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. When Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze to look at her, she raised her eyes to meet his gaze with determination. She knew that she had misunderstood Rong Xue before, but she was unwilling to admit that she had made a bigger mistake. She did not want to come back to the Zuo family in the United States, but now that she was standing here, she had no reason to retreat. Besides, Zuo Hancheng was so firm in front of me, and the marriage procedures on both sides have been settled. He even used pregnancy as an excuse to make me secure the position of Mrs. Zuo. If she was still as nervous as before and did not know how to hold on to it, she would be too stupid. At this moment, regardless of Rong Xue, Cheng Xin, or whether the old man would accept her, since Zuo Hancheng had left the United States five years ago not because of Rong Xue¡¯s love affair, it was obvious that Rong Xue would not have much of an impact on Zuo Hancheng. She had misunderstood before. Now that she was standing here, she decided to face the so-called Zuo family with Zuo Hancheng, the Zuo family that he had been unwilling to return to for five years. Just as Anhao had made up her mind, Zuo Hancheng suddenly held her hand and turned around to look at Zuo Yue who was hiding not far away.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, take Anhao away.¡± Zuo Yue poked her head out from not far away and looked at the old man who was standing there. She hesitated for a moment before she hurriedly ran over, grabbed Anhao¡¯s hand, and turned around to leave. Anhao turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had gone to face Old Master Zuo alone, and she felt indignant. Did he really think that he was intimidated? She was not willing to follow Zuo Yue far away. Instead, she went to the place where Zuo Yue had been hiding and squatted down with Zuo Yue, quietly listening to the conversation not far away. However, they could not hear clearly from here. They could only see that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained calm, while the old man was so angry that he could not stop blowing his beard and glaring at him. He even jabbed his walking stick hard on the ground to express his dissatisfaction. Zuo Yue squatted down and whispered beside Anhao,¡±¡±Sister-in-law, are you really pregnant?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She really could not hear the voice on the other side, so she could only squat down with Zuo Yue. Although Zuo Yue was on her side, she did not know how to speak. Therefore, Anhao did not tell the truth. She only touched her flat stomach with a face full of emotion. Seeing Anhao¡¯s actions, Zuo Yue thought that she was tacitly agreeing. She stuck out her tongue and said,¡±¡±My brother is really fast!¡± Anhao stood up again and looked over, but she still couldn¡¯t hear what they were talking about. ¡°Aiya, I strained my neck to listen just now, but I only vaguely heard that you were pregnant. I couldn¡¯t hear anything else clearly.¡±Zuo Yue mumbled,¡± Sister-in-law, why don¡¯t I bring you to my brother¡¯s room to rest? No matter what Grandpa¡¯s attitude is now, you still have me and Dad and Mom in this house. The baby in your stomach is my dearest little nephew. I have to protect him well. You must be exhausted from the long flight. Come, I¡¯ll bring you to my brother¡¯s room.¡±¡® As she spoke, Zuo Yue stood up and was about to leave. Anhao stood rooted to the ground and looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction worriedly. Zuo Yue came over to pull her back.¡± Don¡¯t worry. My brother is Grandpa¡¯s biological grandson. He definitely won¡¯t do anything to him. Besides, my brother was so angry that he left for five years and didn¡¯t come back.. He can¡¯t do anything to my brother either, right?¡± Chapter 264 - Chapter 264: The Zuo Family of the United States (4) Chapter 264: The Zuo Family of the United States (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Zuo Hancheng hasn¡¯t returned to the Zuo family for the past five years. Is it really because of the old master?¡±Anhao turned around and asked. Zuo Yue looked at her strangely.¡±¡±What else? My brother used to be very filial. If the old man hadn¡¯t really angered him, my brother wouldn¡¯t have come to visit the family for five years. When the old man was so angry that he wanted to change the inheritance rights in his will, my brother was even more decisive than him. He didn¡¯t want anything and just moved his Shengling Group out of the United States.¡± Anhao looked at Zuo Yue in disbelief. She saw that Zuo Yue did not seem to be lying. She immediately began to feel endless regret. She had actually been listening to the rumors from the outside world. She was not the kind of person who was soft-hearted. However, she had always believed that Zuo Hancheng had left the United States because of Rong Xue. She even thought that a man would do such a thing for a woman. He must have loved her deeply and hurt her so much that he would use such a decisive method to uproot Shengling Group and move it to China. That was why she did not dare to fantasize about it. In the end¡­ They were all wrong. Everyone had been so wrong. He was actually forced to leave by his own grandfather. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you to my brother¡¯s room. We¡¯ll talk in the room. It¡¯s getting dark. You¡¯re pregnant and your body can¡¯t take such a strong wind.¡±Zuo Yue held Anhao¡¯s hand and led her to the back. After passing through the gorgeous courtyards, Anhao was no longer in the mood to admire her surroundings. She walked into a unique residence and entered a clean and elegant room. She looked around at the 100-square-meter bedroom in front of her. Although she guessed that this should be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s room, she still stood at the door and did not go in. ¡°Sister-in-law, why are you in a daze? Come in quickly.¡± Zuo Yue smiled as she pulled him over.¡± This is my brother¡¯s room. Although he hasn¡¯t come back in the past five years, before that, he rarely came back to stay. This room was where my brother used to live before he turned fifteen. It¡¯s been empty for so many years. However, the servants would come in every day to clean up and change all kinds of supplies.¡± Indeed, although this room was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private bedroom in the Zuo residence, there was not a single trace of his aura in it. However, this was probably the safest place for Anhao in the Zuo residence. She walked in and walked straight to the French window in front of her. From afar, she realized that she could see the spot where they were standing earlier. However, Zuo Hancheng and the old man had disappeared. The sky had gradually darkened. She guessed that he had gone somewhere to sit down and chat. In short, this place was too big. Anhao did not know where Zuo Hancheng had gone, but she could not hide the worry in her heart. This time, she did not hide the feelings in her heart like before. She turned around instinctively and looked at Zuo Yue. ¡°The relationship between Zuo Hancheng and the Zuo family doesn¡¯t seem to be as simple as I thought. You didn¡¯t tell me before. Why did he get into such a mess with the old master?¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± This has been a taboo in our Zuo family for so many years. It can also be considered a taboo for my brother, so we usually don¡¯t say it.¡± My brother definitely wouldn¡¯t mention it himself. Even when he moved the company out of the United States, there were countless rumors circulating in the Chinese and American business circles at that time, but my brother did not explain a single word. The funniest thing back then was that someone said that my brother was hurt by love.¡± Anhao was embarrassed. She even believed that rumor and felt ashamed in her heart. ¡°But now that my brother is back, he has to face what he has to face sooner or later. Besides, my brother really brought you back with him. It¡¯s obvious that my brother really intends to acknowledge you as Mrs. Zuo.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze was no longer as mischievous as before. She sat by the bed and said, ¡°¡±Sister-in-law, you know that in a family like the Zuo family, my brother and I are basically destined to have a business marriage.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched when she heard that.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Chengxin.¡± Zuo Yue said,¡± Miss Cheng is also a socialite from a Chinese family. She¡¯s a few years younger than my brother. She¡¯s pretty and cute, and her personality is quite likable. She¡¯s especially liked by my grandfather.¡± Additionally, the other companies and consortiums of the Zuo family have to cooperate with the Cheng family. Therefore, my grandpa always wanted my brother to marry the young lady of the Cheng family, but my brother didn¡¯t agree.¡± ¡°When my brother left five years ago, even though I was still very young, my heart ached for him. By the way, I wonder if you have heard of the name Rongxue¡­¡± ¡°I know her.¡± Anhao said. Zuo Yue was a little surprised by Anhao¡¯s calmness. She looked at her for a while before continuing, ¡°¡±My grandfather hates people in the entertainment industry. He said that they are all actors and are not worthy of entering the Zuo family. At that time, he also exerted a lot of pressure on Rongxue. Later on, my brother and Rongxue seemed to have broken up because of a huge misunderstanding. Grandpa kept adding fuel to the fire, saying that Rongxue was the one who held him back. He even kept forcing my brother to marry Chengxin. Anyway, Grandpa said a lot of things that went too far, including doing things that went too far. In the end, my brother couldn¡¯t take it anymore and abandoned his identity as the sole heir of the Zuo family¡¯s business. He left with only Shengling Group that belonged to him and stayed far away.¡± ¡°Grandfather once said that if he doesn¡¯t marry Chengxin, he¡¯ll get as far away as possible. My brother was also annoyed by my grandfather¡¯s coercion. Even when my grandfather threatened him with his death, my brother still did not agree, so my brother moved the company to China. First of all, our ancestors were originally Chinese, and secondly¡­ It¡¯s because¡­¡± Zuo Yue suddenly smiled bitterly.¡± Because in terms of land, China is the furthest away from the United States. My brother would rather give up the inheritance rights of the Zuo family than marry Chengxin.¡±¡® ¡°Sister-in-law, you¡¯re not in the business world, so you don¡¯t know how much my brother has given up. Shengling Group seems very big to you, right? However, the Zuo family¡¯s assets are many times larger than Shengling Group¡¯s. The Zuo family has been established in the United States for 200 years and has been in business for several generations, so you can imagine it.¡± Anhao listened for a long time without saying anything, because she suddenly realized that the former Zuo Hancheng that Zuo Yue was talking about was not the same person as the low-key, calm, and warm Zuo Hancheng that she knew. She had thought that Zuo Hancheng would be proud of everything and would never have any bad intentions. She had never thought that he would have so many past events behind his back and that he had no choice but to escape. ¡°My brother is actually a very filial person. He has always been very polite and respectful to his parents and grandfather. He has always been the pride of the Zuo family since he was young, but even grandfather did not expect him to leave so completely in the end. He did not even come back for five years and did not even call. If my mother hadn¡¯t called my brother to ask about his recent situation, my brother would have cut off all ties with the Zuo family..¡± Chapter 265 - Chapter 265: The Zuo Family of the United States (5) Chapter 265: The Zuo Family of the United States (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Indeed, I rarely hear him mention the Zuo family.¡¯¡±¡®lf you hadn¡¯t suddenly gone to A City last time, I don¡¯t think he would have come back recently.¡± Anhao muttered.¡± ¡°Anyway, as I said before, Grandpa has always been looking forward to having a grandson. Although Grandpa has been stubborn for the past five years, my brother has never been willing to come back, so Grandpa has gradually compromised. All these years, Grandpa has been nagging my brother to get married as soon as possible, to marry any woman, and to have a great-grandson in his lifetime. We all believed him and kept calling my brother to say good things about Grandpa, but in the end¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and rubbed her head.¡± I didn¡¯t expect Grandpa to fool all of us.¡± He said that he could marry any woman he wanted as long as he had a great-grandson for him to hug. Actually, it was because Grandpa knew that my brother would not really marry anyone, so he said such words to try to make my brother change his mind. The last time I went to A City, I kept saying good things about Grandpa in front of my brother. I said that Grandpa was old and couldn¡¯t wait for a few years. I told him not to be angry with Grandpa anymore and to bring Sister-in-law back to meet him as soon as possible so that we can have a baby as soon as possible¡­¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue muttered indignantly,¡±¡±l won¡¯t trust this treacherous old man anymore!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t speak for a while, then suddenly said, ¡°¡±What kind of girl does Old Master like?¡± Zuo Yue paused and looked at her.¡± Grandfather is a stubborn old man. At his age, he likes those who are obedient, have sweet voices, and know how to suck up to others. Of course, the most important thing is that they are of equal social status.¡± In terms of personality, I¡¯m definitely not the kind of girl that Grandpa likes. Although I¡¯m his biological granddaughter, I¡¯ve been taught a lot of lessons. As for you, Sister-in-law¡­She¡¯s about the same as me, and she¡¯s not his type at all.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t feel defeated after hearing that. She just turned around and looked out the window. Since she was not the type that the old man liked at all, she did not know how Zuo Hancheng planned to make her stand here. ¡°Alright, Sister-in-law, don¡¯t think too much about it. I¡¯m a straightforward person who says everything, but I don¡¯t mean to make you uncomfortable. ¡°Only now did Zuo Yue realize that the things she said just now seemed a little inappropriate. She quickly got up, walked over, and pulled Anhao¡¯s hand gently.¡±You¡¯re pregnant now. Can you go to the hot spring?¡± Anhao blinked her eyes at the top of her voice. ¡°I don¡¯t know either¡­¡± As for the ¡± pregnancy ¡± incident, she was still in a state of confusion. How could she know what she could and could not do? Zuo Yue could only turn around and run out of the door. She grabbed a middle-aged maid who was cleaning and asked softly,¡±¡±Can a woman soak in a hot spring when she¡¯s just pregnant?¡± After getting the answer, Zuo Yue ran back with a disappointed expression. She shrugged at Anhao and said, ¡®¡±¡®NO.¡± Anhao immediately smiled to show her guilty conscience. ¡± Forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, forget it, go to the hot springs in the back, little sister-in-law, let me take you to the attic in the back, we have a few 17th-century Roman Roman¡¯s in our house.¡± Before she could finish speaking, the door was pushed open. Hearing the door open, Anhao and Zuo Yue turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had actually gotten rid of the old man so quickly and returned. Seeing Zuo Hancheng walk in, Anhao¡¯s uneasy heart instantly calmed down. Zuo Yue stood up and ran over. She stood beside Zuo Hancheng and whispered with a sly smile,¡±¡±How is it? Was she scolded by the old master? It¡¯s a thankless thing to reason with the old man. You haven¡¯t been at home these past few years, so I¡¯ve been scolded by him a lot.¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at Anhao for a while before he glanced at her and said, ¡°¡±What are you two doing in the room?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Sister-in-law pregnant? I was afraid that it would be dark and cold outside, so I brought her back to her room to rest and talk about you at the same time¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to talk about?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked a little tired. He looked at her again and said, ¡°¡±You go back to your room first. I have something to say to Anhao.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips and put her hands behind her back as she smiled at him sneakily. She turned around and gave Anhao a look to say goodbye. Then, she turned around and ran out with a beaming face, closing the door behind her. Anhao stood by the window and saw Zuo Hancheng walking towards her. The atmosphere between the two of them had always been a little unusual. When she suddenly took the initiative to grab his hand, he turned around and asked Zuo Yue to take her away first. Anhao did not know what kind of attitude she should use to face Zuo Hancheng. However, when she saw that he looked a little tired, she did not try to provoke him anymore. When he approached her, she suddenly said, ¡°Old Master didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, right?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng walked to her side and faced the French window. He was also looking at the place where Anhao was looking at. Anhao turned around as well. Her shoulder was almost leaning on his arm as they looked out the window together. Noticing that Zuo Hancheng was a little silent, Anhao thought for a moment and continued,¡±¡±Zuo Yue just told me the reason why you left America five years ago.¡± After saying this, she quietly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile. She saw that his expression did not change, as if he had already expected that nothing would remain a secret forever from Zuo Yue¡¯s quick mouth. ¡°That¡¯s why I always thought that you left America five years ago because your relationship with Rongxue changed¡­l misunderstood you. I¡¯m sorry.¡±As Anhao spoke, she reached out her little hand and gently poked the back of his hand. However, Zuo Hancheng ignored her. Anhao was furious. He actually dared to put on airs with her. Didn¡¯t she just misunderstand him? It was not easy for a person with her personality to admit her mistake and take the initiative to express goodwill. Was he not going to give her any face? Anhao couldn¡¯t help but reach out her finger to poke the back of his hand. She didn¡¯t believe that he was really going to ignore her. However, just as she was about to poke him, he suddenly grabbed her hand. At the same time, his hand followed her fingers and held her entire small hand in his palm. When Anhao lowered her head to look at their hands that were intertwined and raised her head to look at him in satisfaction, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already turned his head to look at her. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that?¡± she asked, blushing.¡± ¡°The old master¡¯s tone is so heavy, yet you dare to rush forward to speak. Your courage is commendable.¡±He raised his eyebrows and praised with a smile that was not a smile. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± I saw that he was scolding you too harshly, so I rushed forward to divert his attention. Who knew that your grandfather¡¯s temper was so bad? He didn¡¯t even let me speak. I didn¡¯t even have the chance to offend him.. Chapter 266 - Chapter 266: Don’t Kiss, It Itches (1) Chapter 266: Don¡¯t Kiss, It Itches (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Is that so? I thought you were shocked by him.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. ¡°Are you kidding me? Who am I, Gu Anhao? The person who can easily shock me has yet to be born! I only felt wronged and didn¡¯t say anything because he was old and was your grandfather.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, she lowered her head and changed her imposing attitude. She said dispiritedly, ¡°I just can¡¯t figure out how ugly that Miss Cheng is that you would rather give up the inheritance of all the Zuo family¡¯s assets than marry her.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and did not say anything. He just looked down at her. ¡°What I don¡¯t understand is that you could easily give up the inheritance of the Zuo family. When Gu Shishi and the others barged into the hotel, why did you so rashly decide to marry me? Isn¡¯t this very contradictory?¡± ¡°The point is not about the inheritance rights, nor is it about Miss Cheng.¡±¡±Have you really forgotten what I said in the hotel?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and asked.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Anhao blinked. I only remember that you said you wanted to marry me¡­¡± ¡°I saw that you, a young lady, were framed by the Gu family and bullied by the Gu mother and daughter, but you stood in the room with a good attitude. I wanted to help you out of pity. I just helped you out casually. I didn¡¯t really want to take you to get married.¡± An Hao instantly widened her eyes.¡±How is that possible? You were the one who said you wanted to bring me to get married, okay?¡± ¡°Who was the one who got carried away by anger? At that time, you clearly had the upper hand and didn¡¯t need to add any more fuel to the fire, but you turned around and asked me how I wanted to get married. I only told you that I wanted to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and you hurriedly pulled me out of the door and went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.¡± Zuo Hancheng said with a teasing smile,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, actually, I was in a dilemma at that time. I just wanted to help you say a few words, but I was dragged to that kind of place by you. Seeing that you were young and inexperienced, I couldn¡¯t bear to continue hurting you. Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter who I marry. It might not be a bad idea to bring a dirty kitten like you home to wash, so I accompanied you to get married. Now, do you know the true story of our marriage?¡± Anhao opened her mouth wide. Was that so? It wasn¡¯t that Zuo Hancheng had somehow kidnapped her to get married, but that she had taken his words seriously and dragged him to get married in a fit of anger? so¡­ Therefore, all sorts of strange reasons, such as because she looked a little like Rong Xue, and so on, were not valid. Because it was not Zuo Hancheng who wanted to marry her, but she had shamelessly dragged him into the Civil Affairs Bureau? The corners of Anhao¡¯s mouth quivered. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s teasing smile in surprise. ¡°Then¡­Then you¡­ Zuo Hancheng looked at her defeated face and scoffed.¡±¡±ln the end, the first big gift that you, the little wife that I accidentally married, gave me was to go to the police station to save you. Gu Anhao, are you sure that I¡¯ve been forcing you along the way?¡± Anhao swallowed her saliva. ¡°What else do you want to hear?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and suddenly leaned forward to approach her. Anhao suddenly raised her head and met his gaze. In his deep black eyes, she saw her own reflection of embarrassment and embarrassment. She quickly raised her hand to cover her eyes and said, ¡°Don¡¯t come close to me. Don¡¯t look at me like that. My eyes hurt! You let me slow down! Let me take a break!¡± She turned around and was about to run away when Zuo Hancheng grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Anhao fell into his arms and lowered her head. Her mind was filled with the scene of her dragging him to the wedding. It seemed like it was true. She had always felt that she had been deceived by Zuo Hancheng and had married a stranger so foolishly. But in the end¡­ ¡°This marriage was originally an accident. From the beginning to the end, you were the one who took the initiative to barge into my world.¡±Zuo Hancheng whispered into her ear in a clear and hoarse voice, ¡°¡±You¡¯re the one who barged in time and time again, and you¡¯re the one who tried to escape time and time again. Gu Anhao, it¡¯s not an exaggeration to call you a torturous little vixen. How much more do you want me to tolerate you?¡± Anhao¡¯s face was about to burn up. She leaned into his embrace and did not dare to raise her head. It wasn¡¯t until his kiss landed on her ear that she trembled. She closed her eyes tightly and tightened her neck. She leaned into his arms and said, ¡°Don¡¯t kiss¡­ Itchy¡­¡± The man¡¯s faint laughter rang in her ear, and the haze that had been lingering for many days finally disappeared in an instant. It was the first time that Anhao knew what it meant to feel warm in her heart and spleen after living for nearly twenty years. Just by hugging this man named Zuo Hancheng, she felt as if she was about to melt in his arms. She rubbed her face against his chest and chuckled as she reached out to hug his waist. Then, her hand slowly climbed up to his shoulder and whispered, ¡°¡±Does the wound on your shoulder still hurt?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. When Anhao raised her head, he suddenly bent down and kissed her on the lips. Her lips were gently and delicately pushed away. When her lips curled up, Anhao suddenly recalled what had happened in the small hotel in T City that day. She instinctively stepped back and raised her hand to push him away. However, Zuo Hancheng knew what she was afraid of. He held the back of her head with one hand and held her in his arms with the other. He turned around and pressed her against the French window. He kissed her deeply and firmly. When Anhao realized that she was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, she was afraid that someone would see her when they passed by. She was about to turn her head away when Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to caress her face and held her head. When Anhao was almost out of breath from the kiss, he slightly turned his head to give her some space to breathe. Knock, knock. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. At the same time, a servant¡¯s voice came from outside the door.¡±Mr. Zuo, Old Mr. Zuo and Mrs. Zuo have returned early. There will be a banquet in the front hall in fifteen minutes.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not let go of Anhao when she heard the voice outside the door. He swallowed the resistance in her mouth and pressed down her hands when she was nervous. In the end, Anhao was finally released by Zuo Hancheng. When the two of them walked out of the room, her face was flushed red and her pink lips were slightly swollen. She could not help but secretly glare at Zuo Hancheng, angry that he had left such an obvious mark on her mouth at this time. When she saw the rest of the Zuo family later, anyone could tell that her mouth was swollen! ¡®Damn Zuo Hancheng, how black-bellied!¡¯ It was obvious that he did it on purpose! Chapter 267 - Chapter 267: Don’t Kiss, It Itches (2) Chapter 267: Don¡¯t Kiss, It Itches (2) Translator: 549690339 Before they walked to the hall where the banquet was supposed to be held, the butler, Uncle Chen, came over to talk to Zuo Hancheng about something. It was unknown what they were talking about. Anhao and the maid beside her followed quietly behind them, so they could not hear the conversation between the two people in front of them. However, her heart started to beat rapidly as she looked up at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. He was no longer nervous, but his heart was beating wildly as if it had been filled with honey. By the time Zuo Hancheng and Uncle Chen finished talking, they had already reached the hall where the banquet was held. From afar, she could see two unfamiliar figures sitting on the sofa. Although he was middle-aged and travel-worn, the middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties was very energetic and particularly high-spirited. One look and one could tell that he was a leader who had been in the upper class for many years. He only needed to stand quietly to give others an oppressive feeling. The middle-aged woman sitting next to him also looked to be in her forties or fifties, but she was smiling and looked very well-maintained. She looked to be in her early forties, and it was obvious that her kindly smiling face was at least ten years younger than her real age. The middle-aged woman was well-dressed, unlike the rich ladies that Anhao knew who wore all kinds of luxurious and branded clothes with limited traffic. On the contrary, she was wearing a very comfortable cotton top and trousers. From afar, she gave off a very amiable and peaceful motherly feeling. This was Anhao¡¯s first impression of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s parents, but she did not know what their personalities were like. Anhao was standing outside the door in a daze when she suddenly felt a warmth on her hand. Zuo Hancheng had already held her hand and led her in. ¡°Li Ming, Han Ke is really a good child raised by the two of you. He¡¯s deliberately making things difficult for me. I¡¯ve always wanted him to marry that precious daughter of mine, but he refused five years ago. I thought he was very cautious about marriage, but now he brought back a little girl with no background. Isn¡¯t he obviously here to show off?¡± It really pisses me off!¡± The old man was sitting on the opposite side of the sofa with a cold face and kept scolding. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s father, Zuo Liming, could not help but sigh and laugh.¡±My old man, how could Xu Yuan and I have taught Han City? Clearly, he used to follow you around when he was young. He only got to where he is today because you taught him how to do business.¡± ¡°Hmph, you two are really connected as father and son. You really know how to put in a good word for him. Five years ago, when he didn¡¯t agree to marry Chengxin, you and your wife were on Han City¡¯s side. Now that he married a little girl who came out of nowhere, you didn¡¯t object at all?!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, could not help but laugh.¡±¡±Dad, don¡¯t be too angry. No matter what her family background is, as long as Hancheng likes her, she must have something special about her. The Zuo family doesn¡¯t need to rely on marriage to maintain their connections in the business world. The Zuo family has already established a firm foothold in Los Angeles 200 years ago. Why would Hancheng sacrifice their own happiness for marriage?¡± Old Master Zuo rolled his eyes at his daughter-in-law.¡±lf it weren¡¯t for the marriage back then, would you and Li Ming have been together? How could she give birth to such a good son like Han Cheng? Don¡¯t think that just because I¡¯m old, you¡¯re all against my actions! Let me tell you, I¡¯m not feudal at all! It¡¯s just that the children of the Zuo family should find someone who is outstanding in all aspects and worthy of our Han City. What¡¯s wrong with Chengxin? She had been waiting for Han Cheng for so many years, but she still hadn¡¯t gotten married. Her family had been worried sick about Chengxin for the past few years. She had always liked Han Cheng and waited for him, but he actually married someone called¡­ His name was Gu¡­Gu Anhao¡¯s little girl came back!¡± ¡°Brother! Sister-in-law!¡± Zuo Yue, who had been sitting beside the sofa without a word, suddenly raised her head and shouted in the direction of the back door. The old man paused for a moment and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao, who were walking in from the back door. It was obvious that the two of them had heard what he had just said, but the old man did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he turned his head away with a cold face and did not even bother to look at them. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, turned around and walked towards them with a smile on her face. She glanced at Zuo Hancheng first, then at Anhao. Anhao stood beside Zuo Hancheng and looked carefully at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, whom she had ¡± communicated ¡± with over the phone. She felt her palms were about to break out in sweat. The most important reason for her fear of the Zuo family was because of what she had said to Mother Zuo on the phone. She wondered if Mother Zuo had already disliked her. ¡°Anhao, right?¡± Xu Yuan smiled at Anhao. Anhao nodded, and Xu Yuan approached her with a warm smile on her face. At the same time, she reached out to hold Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±This child, is he nervous because it¡¯s his first time in the Zuo family? Don¡¯t be afraid. The old master is just a little angry. He¡¯s not targeting you. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± As she spoke, Xu Yuan looked at Zuo Hancheng and gave him a look.¡±¡±You child, you brought Anhao back without saying a word. Why didn¡¯t you tell us in advance? Only Zuo Yue and the old man knew that you were coming back, causing your father and I to rush over, afraid that we would miss the opportunity to meet our daughter-in-law for the first time.¡± As she spoke, Xu Yuan secretly gave Zuo Hancheng a look. She meant that the old man was in a fit of anger and she wanted him to not bring Anhao along to face the old man¡¯s anger. It was obvious that she wanted Zuo Hancheng to act according to the situation and protect Anhao. Although Anhao didn¡¯t understand Mother Zuo, she could understand her every action and look. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng in surprise and then at Mother Zuo again before she said, ¡°¡±Auntie, I¡¯m Gu Anhao. It¡¯s our first time meeting, but I didn¡¯t bring any gifts with me. I really don¡¯t have much experience visiting elders.¡± ¡°This child, why are you being so polite with me?¡±Xu Yuan smiled and patted her hand.¡± Didn¡¯t Hancheng already give the gifts to the butler when he came back?¡± What other gifts do you need? This is just a formality. We just want you to come back safely.¡± Anhao¡¯s nervousness eased a lot when she saw her mother, who was much gentler and kinder than she had imagined. She always had a warm smile on her face and gave off a warm feeling. However, she still felt awkward because of that phone call. Anhao whispered guiltily, ¡°That¡­¡± Auntie, I was just joking when I received your call by mistake.. Please don¡¯t take what I said seriously¡­¡± Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: Don’t Kiss, It Itches (3) Chapter 268: Don¡¯t Kiss, It Itches (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao whispered guiltily, ¡°That¡­¡± Auntie, I was just joking when I received your call by mistake. Please don¡¯t take what I said seriously¡­¡± ¡°Silly girl, if I did mind, why would I say that you¡¯re an interesting girl?¡± Xu Yuan laughed immediately. I like a girl like you who is straightforward and doesn¡¯t hide so many tricks. How can I take you seriously?¡± ¡°Besides, if Cold Cheng didn¡¯t do anything to offend you, why would you keep badmouthing him over the phone? You¡¯re really cute.¡± Xu Yuan raised her hand and stroked her hair lovingly.¡±Also, Anhao, you¡¯re already standing here. Are you sure you want to call me Auntie?¡± Anhao was stunned. She didn¡¯t know what to say. She looked at Mother Zuo and then at Xu Yuan. Her lips moved but she couldn¡¯t say anything. Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and gave her a look, hinting for her to speak. Anhao wasn¡¯t a timid person. After she came to the Zuo family, she was shocked. Moreover, because the old man was an elder, she didn¡¯t know how to get along with the elders, so she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. But now, standing in front of Mother Zuo, she couldn¡¯t bring herself to call her ¡± Mom ¡® In my impression, I called this word five years ago. When her mother, An Ping, rolled down the stairs of the Gu residence, she stood in the front hall of the Gu residence and shouted that word softly with a dazed look in her eyes. From then on, she never thought that she would use this word to address anyone else. Xu Yuan looked at her with a smile.¡± You and Hancheng are not newlyweds anymore. You should be mentally prepared before you come to the United States. Do you want to keep calling me Auntie in such a strange way?¡± Anhao looked at Mrs. Zuo, her smiling mother-in-law who gave off a relaxed feeling. She then saw Zuo Yue who was not far away winking at her. Anhao pursed her lips and knew that if she did not call her, she would not be able to pass this test. ¡°.. Mom.¡± After Anhao finished speaking, she felt relieved. Actually, as long as he could get rid of the shadow in his heart, everything would not be that difficult¡­ Xu Yuan immediately smiled happily.¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at Father Zuo, who had already walked over.¡±Li Ming, come and take a look. Anhao is really likeable. She looks fair and energetic. She¡¯s not like the pampered little girls we know at all.¡± As she spoke, Xu Yuan quietly glanced at Zuo Hancheng and said in a voice that only the few of them could hear, Only your grandfather likes girls who have been taught by their families to have the same personality. Those children are thoughtful, but not many of them are sincere. Even if they¡¯re well-behaved and well-behaved, they¡¯ve all lost their nature. Unlike Anhao, who¡¯s so cute when she¡¯s hiding behind you nervously.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but praise Mother Zuo¡¯s strange aesthetic taste. However, Mother Zuo¡¯s words were very pleasing to her heart. It was only then that Anhao realized that she had quietly moved a small step behind Zuo Hancheng when Father Zuo walked over. Her natural fear of her father made her instinctively hide behind Zuo Hancheng when she was facing Father Zuo. When she realized this, she stood back awkwardly and forced a smile at Father Zuo, who was walking over. Mr. Zuo noticed the little girl¡¯s wariness and did not greet her warmly like his wife. Instead, he smiled politely and magnanimously.¡±We¡¯re all family. Why are you still standing here? Let¡¯s go over and sit down first.¡± Seeing that Father Zuo wasn¡¯t as cold and hard as Old Master Zuo, Anhao quietly heaved a sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, Mother Zuo had already pulled her to the sofa and sat down. When she sat down, she looked up and saw the old man sitting opposite her. After thinking for a moment, she said softly,¡±Hello, Grandpa.¡± ¡°Grandpa, don¡¯t call me that. I haven¡¯t acknowledged you as my granddaughter-in-law yet.¡±Old Master Zuo did not give her any face and rolled his eyes at her. He turned his head and refused to look at her like an old child. Anhao raised her eyebrows, feeling a little helpless and amused. However, she did not expect that her raised eyebrows would be seen by Mother Zuo. As soon as she came back to her senses, Mother Zuo smiled and sat beside her. ¡°Grandpa, I heard that Anhao is pregnant. Don¡¯t ignore her anymore. Han City grew up under your strict education. Do you want Anhao¡¯s child to be trained by you before it¡¯s born?¡± When the old man heard about the child, he glanced at Anhao, but his expression was still not good. He only snorted coldly.¡±Who knows if Han Cheng lied to me? Her stomach hasn¡¯t risen yet, so I can¡¯t tell if she¡¯s pregnant or not. If she doesn¡¯t have a child in ten months, I¡¯ll see how you¡¯re going to cover up this lie!¡± Anhao broke out in a cold sweat. Was this old man a detective or something? He could tell at a glance whether it was real or fake! Mrs. Zuo smiled.¡± Grandpa, since you¡¯ve finally returned home after five years in Han City, please give me some face and don¡¯t make things difficult for Anhao. After all, Anhao and Zuo Yue are about the same age. Even if you can¡¯t treat her like Chengxin, you should at least treat her as your own child, right?¡¯¡±¡® Old Master Zuo closed his eyes and did not take Xu Yuan¡¯s words seriously at all. His expression became even uglier when she mentioned Chengxin. Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. When he saw Xu Yuan pulling Anhao to sit on the sofa in front of the old man, he said calmly, ¡°¡±Whether you admit it or not, Anhao is already my wife.¡± The old man suddenly sneered.¡± She entered our Zuo family, but she didn¡¯t even have a wedding ceremony. She didn¡¯t even take a wedding photo. She didn¡¯t even have a ring. Is this the wife you¡¯ve chosen?¡± I think you¡¯re just trying to brush me off by dragging a random little girl over to anger me!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change.¡± I will give her everything she needs. Don¡¯t worry about that.¡±¡® Anhao could not help but glance at Zuo Hancheng, who was standing beside the sofa with a calm expression. Wedding, wedding photos, rings¡­ Did Zuo Hancheng say that he would give her everything? Did she hear wrongly? However, the old man refused to speak to Zuo Hancheng anymore. Instead, he stood up with a cold face and knocked his walking stick on the ground. He looked at Anhao and said,¡±You little girl, marrying Han City with the intention of climbing up the social ladder will definitely not end well! I advise you to retreat in the face of difficulties. Don¡¯t wait until the day I chase you out of the Zuo family. At that time, you won¡¯t be able to keep your face!¡± ¡® Dad, please calm down. Hancheng just came back, and it¡¯s Anhao¡¯s first time coming to the Zuo family, so you¡­¡± Father Zuo finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and tried to smooth things over. Old Master Zuo did not give anyone any face and continued, ¡°¡±1 still have the same words. If you don¡¯t marry Chengxin, I¡¯ll change my will.. Don¡¯t even think about getting anything from the Zuo family! ¡° Chapter 269 - Chapter 269: Don’t Kiss, It Itches (4) Chapter 269: Don¡¯t Kiss, It Itches (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Dad, you used this sentence to drive Hancheng away. After five years, he finally agreed to return to the Zuo family. Do you want him to leave as soon as he comes back?¡±Father Zuo immediately frowned, his expression slightly unhappy. Laozi Zuo turned around and walked towards the hall where the banquet was held.¡±l mean what I say. Hancheng, I have indeed been training you to be the only heir of our Zuo family since you were born, but don¡¯t forget that your two uncles are still in the company in England. If you continue to disobey me, it¡¯s not certain who will get the things of the Zuo family in the end.¡± After saying that, Old Master Zuo walked into the hall angrily. Father Zuo shook his head and Mother Zuo sighed. At the same time, she held Anhao¡¯s hand and patted it gently,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Anhao turned around and looked at Zuo Hancheng. She saw that he did not mind the old man¡¯s words. Although she did not know what all the assets of the Zuo family were, she could not easily abandon the inheritance rights that should have belonged to him. Although Anhao knew that the old man was so angry because of her existence, she had already confirmed her thoughts before she came here. No matter what, since she was in this position now, she had to protect everything that belonged to her, including not letting Zuo Hancheng protect her blindly. When it was time to step forward, she would not hesitate. However, Anhao did not say anything. After looking at Zuo Hancheng for a while, she retracted her gaze and asked Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother who was sitting beside her,¡±¡±Will Grandpa really do that?¡± Xu Yuan shook her head and chuckled.¡± It doesn¡¯t matter whether the old man will do this or not. The final outcome is the choice of Hancheng City. The Zuo family is big. There are many things that are more complicated than you can imagine.¡± In fact, we all know the reason why Han Cheng refused to come back in the past five years. We never forced him to do anything.¡± Anhao had never expected that as the daughter-in-law of Madam Zuo, Mother Zuo would be so open-minded. Father Zuo didn¡¯t say anything. He was just a little helpless because of his grandfather¡¯s attitude after he left. Seeing that Xu Yuan was comforting Anhao, he didn¡¯t say anything more to Anhao. He looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face, and said, The old man has always valued you the most. Although he said such harsh words to you five years ago, he didn¡¯t really change his will during the five years you were away. Now, although I don¡¯t know if the old man will really do this, but since you have chosen this path, you and Anhao will face everything together.¡±¡® ¡°I know what to do. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Father Zuo sighed.¡± It¡¯s good that you know your limits. However, the old man¡¯s obsession with the precious daughter of the Cheng family is also a headache. In the past five years, Chengxin came to visit him every few days and called him ¡®Grandpa¡¯ in front of the old man. The old man¡¯s heart almost blossomed because of her and he treated her as his granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, you should understand his disappointment more or less. After all, you know the old man¡¯s personality very well. Stubborn is secondary. What¡¯s important is that your uncles have indeed planned to come back and get a share of the profits in recent years.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything after hearing that. He only nodded slightly to show that he understood. Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, Father Zuo stood up and said, ¡°Alright, go and eat. Chengxin is here today too. Anhao, don¡¯t take it to heart no matter how much the old man favors Chengxin during dinner.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m very ambitious. The sudden setbacks and pressure in front of me won¡¯t break me for the time being. ¡°Anhao also stood up. Xu Yuan held Anhao¡¯s hand and said with a smile,¡±¡±Yes, Anhao is very smart. Although it¡¯s my first time meeting her, I know her personality. She¡¯s mischievous and smart.¡± Anhao¡¯s face was a little hot, and she smiled awkwardly.¡±¡±Aiya, don¡¯t tease me. Back then, I was out of my mind to dare to talk to you like that on the phone.¡± ¡°Alright, I know your character. Zuo Yue has also told me about you. You can pretend to be quiet and obedient in front of the old master, but in front of your father and me, you just have to let go of your true nature.¡± Xu Yuan then grabbed Anhao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°¡±1 know you¡¯re a short-tempered child, but no matter what the old man says during dinner later, you have to be patient. We will help you in everything, so don¡¯t take the initiative to run into the old man¡¯s gun.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll remember it.¡± Anhao smiled. Xu Yuan looked at her kindly, but she looked into her eyes as if she was teasing her.¡¯¡±¡®Child, you called me mom once and then stopped. How much do you hate calling me mom?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not¡­ I¡­ I¡¯m not used to it.¡± Anhao smiled awkwardly and called out carefully,¡± ¡°Mom.¡± Only then did Xu Yuan let go of her hand in satisfaction and return it to Zuo Hancheng, who was walking over. When she saw Zuo Hancheng holding Anhao¡¯s hand, she turned around in a good mood and gave Father Zuo a look. It was obvious that they both liked Anhao. Father Zuo didn¡¯t say much, but he was very indulgent towards his wife¡¯s preferences. He nodded and the two of them took the lead to walk into the hall in front. Anhao returned to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and felt his warm hand firmly on hers the moment he held her hand. She looked up at him, only to see his elegant brows slightly move. Suddenly, his other hand reached over and caressed her lips. Anhao shivered from his touch and snapped out of her daze. She then remembered that her lips had been swollen the whole time. No wonder the old man¡¯s expression was uglier than when he first saw her. No wonder Father Zuo and Mother Zuo¡¯s eyes were so ambiguous even though they didn¡¯t mention much. She immediately raised her hand and wiped her mouth again, but she still felt a faint warm and numb feeling on her mouth. Could it still be swollen? Anhao was glaring at him coquettishly when Zuo Yue¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind,¡±¡±Tsk tsk tsk¡­ Zuo Yue sighed as she walked past the two of them like a wandering soul. She did not even look at them. She only walked over hurriedly with her back facing them. As she walked, she said,¡±Showing off your love as if no one else was around¡­ Too much¡­ Before she finished speaking, Zuo Yue¡¯s figure had already floated into the hall in front. Anhao was left blushing, but Zuo Hancheng ignored her blushing face and held her hand as he walked over. It turned out that the hall opposite was the place where the banquet was held. Butler Uncle Chen was listening to the old man¡¯s conversation beside him. When he saw that they had all come, he turned around and smiled politely at them. Apparently, although Uncle Chen was the legendary butler in the Zuo residence, he only listened to the old man¡¯s words.. Chapter 270 - Chapter 270: Fancy Show of Affection (1) Chapter 270: Fancy Show of Affection (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had just sat down at the dining table. Zuo Hancheng was sitting beside her, and Zuo Yue was sitting in the first seat beside the old man. She was winking at Anhao. Anhao smiled and gave Zuo Yue an ¡± I¡¯m very okay ¡± gesture. Seeing the two of them gesturing back and forth, the old master sat in the main seat and cleared his throat unhappily. Zuo Yue immediately retracted her winking expression and turned to look at the old man. After the servant brought the dishes up, she obediently scooped some for the old man¡¯s bowl.¡±Grandpa, you eat it!¡± ¡°At least you¡¯re sensible.¡± The old man glanced at her coldly. Zuo Yue secretly turned and gave Anhao a look. Anhao immediately understood and was about to pick up some of the dishes in front of her to give to the old man. Just as she was about to touch the Chinese chopsticks on the table, she suddenly heard some noise coming from outside. Then, they suddenly saw a beautiful figure walking in from the main entrance of the hall. The group of people who were already sitting around the table paused for a moment because of that beautiful figure. At the same time, they all glanced at Anhao. Anhao immediately understood that this was the girl called Chengxin, the precious granddaughter of the old man¡¯s good friend in the business world. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m back at night. I just went to the backyard with Aunt Liu for a while and thought that the banquet would start later. I didn¡¯t expect to rush over so quickly. I¡¯m still late. Please don¡¯t take offense.¡± Chengxin said as she walked to the old man¡¯s side. The old man¡¯s cold expression changed. Instead, he said with a smile,¡±lt¡¯s okay. Sit down. It¡¯s already so late. You¡¯ve been out in the wind for so long.¡± ¡°No, thank you for your concern, Grandpa.¡± Chengxin smiled and sat on the first empty seat on the other side of the old man. Looking at her natural appearance, she should be sitting next to the old man every time she came to the Zuo family. She was almost on the same level as Zuo Yue in the Zuo family. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes in that direction after Cheng Xin sat down. However, Chengxin acted as if she did not see Zuo Yue rolling her eyes. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was beside Zuo Yue, and then at Gu Anhao. Her gaze only lingered on Gu Anhao¡¯s face for a second before she looked at Zuo Hancheng again. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Hancheng, I haven¡¯t seen you for five years. You seem to have changed a lot.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that nonsense? It¡¯s been five years. Can my brother still be the same as he was five years ago? Do you think everyone is like you? You¡¯re already twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but you still wear all kinds of pink, yellow, white, and blue puffed-sleeve dresses all day long to act young?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly said sarcastically. Chengxin¡¯s expression froze. The old man immediately frowned.¡±Zuo Yue, what are you saying?¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows, lowered her head, and began to focus on eating the rare pork ribs that she could eat at home. She changed the topic,¡±¡¯I didn¡¯t expect the Chinese food made by our kitchen to be so delicious. If it weren¡¯t for Brother and Sister-in-law¡¯s sudden return, the kitchen would have specially prepared Chinese food. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have known that the ribs made by Aunt Wang and the others were so delicious!¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue was deliberately ignoring Chengxin¡¯s existence, the old man glared at her unhappily. Zuo Yue just smiled and pretended to be stupid. She picked up a piece of pork rib in front of her and handed it to Anhao.¡±Then, Sister-in-law, it smells so good. Try it.¡± She was clearly slapping the old man and Chengxin in the face by calling them sister-in-law. The old man¡¯s expression was unusually ugly. Chengxin did not expect this to happen as soon as she sat down. She was stunned for a moment before she looked up at Zuo Hancheng. In the end, Zuo Hancheng picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it into Gu Anhao¡¯s bowl beside him. He said gently, ¡°¡±1 know you haven¡¯t eaten well after two days of flying. Eat. This is your home.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Sister-in-law, just tell us what you like to eat. We¡¯re family. The baby in your stomach still needs nutrition!¡± Zuo Yue added. Chengxin¡¯s face turned pale. She looked at Zuo Hancheng in surprise, then at Gu Anhao, who was still smiling. It was obvious that Grandpa Sheng had already told her to prepare for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s marriage, but she did not expect Gu Anhao to be pregnant. The atmosphere at the table was a little awkward because of Zuo Yue¡¯s continuous instigation, but this awkwardness was only directed at Chengxin. Anhao, who was originally ignored by the old man, became the least awkward one. Zuo Hancheng was obviously very satisfied with Zuo Yue¡¯s performance. When he turned around and asked the servant to bring another spoon for Anhao, he gave Zuo Yue a faint smile that showed that she was in a good mood. Zuo Yue immediately continued to talk to Anhao with a smile on her face, ignoring Chengxin whose face was already very pale. ¡°Sister-in-law, I saw how hardworking you were when I went to A City for A few days. I was inspired by you and started to study hard after I came back.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Anhao looked at Zuo Yue in surprise.¡± I¡¯ve never heard Hancheng mention this before. This was the first time Anhao had addressed Zuo Hancheng in such a manner. After she finished speaking, the old man¡¯s cold gaze swept over her. Zuo Hancheng, however, had a hint of warmth in his eyes. He chuckled and said, ¡®¡±¡®The two of you were fighting in A City, but in the blink of an eye, your relationship became so good. Women are indeed fickle.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because you doted on Sister-in-law too much when she was injured. I only quarreled with her because I was jealous. No matter what, it¡¯s all your fault. You¡¯re too good to Sister-in-law, making me lose my sense of existence as a sister. But it¡¯s not Sister-in-law¡¯s fault, it¡¯s yours. So it¡¯s not strange that my relationship with Sister-in-law is getting better and better!¡± Zuo Yue continued to nibble on the ribs as she spoke,¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m not going to talk to vou anymore. These ribs are delicious. I want Aunt Wang to make them for me every day.¡± ¡°Pa!¡± The old man suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand heavily, causing everyone at the table to stop eating. Other than Zuo Yue who continued to eat her ribs with an indifferent expression, everyone else looked at the old man¡¯s expression. Mother Zuo, Xu Yuan, saw that Chengxin¡¯s face was a little pale, and seeing that the old man was really going to fly into a rage, she quickly opened her mouth to smooth things over.¡±Dad, Zuo Yue has always been a straightforward person. She¡¯s about the same age as Anhao. The two girls have met before, so it¡¯s normal for them to talk more now that they¡¯ve reunited. I didn¡¯t expect Miss Cheng to come today. Hancheng only returned to the Zuo family after five years. We specially held a family banquet. Once we talk about family matters, it¡¯s easy to ignore Miss Cheng. Miss Cheng, please don¡¯t mind.¡± Hearing Xu Yuan¡¯s words, Anhao couldn¡¯t help but praise her mother-in-law¡¯s intelligence. Not only did he not offend anyone with these few words, but he also clearly expressed his position and everyone¡¯s position, including the fact that Chengxin was an outsider.. Chapter 271 - Chapter 271: Fancy Show of Affection (2) Chapter 271: Fancy Show of Affection (2) Translator: 549690339 Hearing Mother Zuo¡¯s words, although the awkwardness on Chengxin¡¯s face eased a little, she still looked at Zuo Hancheng unwillingly because her words were too clear. However, Zuo Hancheng had just returned and was the focus of everyone¡¯s attention at the dining table. Yet, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him and picked up some of Anhao¡¯s favorite dishes. ¡°Hancheng, don¡¯t you think you should say something?¡±Old Master Zuo looked at him coldly. Zuo Hancheng placed quite a few dishes in Anhao¡¯s bowl before he put down the Chinese chopsticks in his hand. He looked up calmly and said,¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s a family banquet after all. It¡¯s rare for everyone to be together, so we just need to be happy and satisfied. We¡¯re the adjudicators of the Zuo¡¯s Group outside, so we have to be careful with our words and actions to avoid being caught by our subordinates or the media. Now that I¡¯m rarely home, do I have to specially prepare some speeches?¡± ¡°You brat, you came back just to go against me?¡± Old Master Gong was furious.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was gentle.¡± Grandpa, you kept saying that you wanted to see your granddaughter-in-law and your great-grandson. I thought that you had let go of your past obsession, but now you¡¯re the first one to change your attitude. What kind of attitude do you want me to use to face this so-called family banquet?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze only swept across Chengxin¡¯s face indifferently, but it did not stop at all. It fell directly on the old man¡¯s face. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Chengxin having a family banquet here? She¡¯s your Grandpa Cheng¡¯s precious granddaughter. How many skills did you learn from me and your Grandpa Cheng when you were young? You and Chengxin grew up together. Although her surname is Cheng, she¡¯s no different from our family!¡±The old man frowned. His voice was very serious. It was obvious that he was complaining about Chengxin¡¯s injustice. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.¡± If Grandfather sees her as his god-granddaughter, of course there¡¯s no problem. But why did Grandfather ask Miss Cheng to come to the Zuo family today? What you have in mind is your business, but Anhao and I will not allow any external interference or mistakes in our marriage.¡± ¡°Hancheng, I don¡¯t want to interfere with your marriage with Miss Gu.¡±Chengxin, who had always been the cause of conflict, finally spoke. Her voice was sweet and soft, neither high nor low. It sounded like she was a socialite who had been strictly educated since she was young. ¡°It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen you in five years. Grandpa said that you would be back today and asked me to come over for a family banquet. I didn¡¯t expect it to cause such a misunderstanding.¡± Then, Chengxin nodded at them.¡±¡±Since I¡¯m already sitting here, if I leave halfway, it¡¯ll make the atmosphere even more awkward and it¡¯ll be very impolite. Although Hancheng and Miss Gu might have misunderstood each other, I have been visiting the Zuo family to keep my grandfather company all these years. I came here today to visit my grandfather. I will not deliberately interfere in anyone¡¯s marriage. Hancheng, my grandfather is right. You grew up with me, don¡¯t you know my personality?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his handsome eyebrows lightly.¡±lt¡¯s a good thing that you came to see Grandpa.¡± His answer was simple but he did not respond to Chengxin¡¯s main points. Chengxin¡¯s eyes were a little awkward, but her eyes were still lingering on Zuo Hancheng. ¡°You said that you were just here to see Grandpa. From the moment you came in, your eyes have been wandering around my brother.¡±Zuo Yue muttered at the side. ¡°Zuo Yue! Why are you becoming more and more insensible?¡±This time, it was Father Zuo who spoke. He looked at Zuo Yue seriously.¡±Shut up and eat your food. If you¡¯re full, go back to your room. Don¡¯t talk nonsense here!¡± Zuo Yue let out a low ¡± tsk ¡± and did not say anything else. She was not stupid. She could hear that her father had come out to reprimand her. It was much better than her grandfather scolding her in anger. Since her parents didn¡¯t plan to fight so badly, she had already said enough anyway. She simply closed her mouth and picked up the ribs to continue Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, smiled faintly and said,¡± Miss Cheng, you know Zuo Yue¡¯s personality. The two of you have been quarreling since you were young. Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth has always been so unruly. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±¡® ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t hold it against Zuo Yue.¡±Chengxin smiled, but she did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng anymore. Instead, she turned to look at the old man for help. Old Master Zuo was so angry that he couldn¡¯t speak for half a day. When he felt Chengxin¡¯s wronged gaze, he frowned and glared at Gu Anhao, who was the center of the conversation but didn¡¯t say anything to let him catch her. ¡°Dad, Hancheng is a young man after all. Young people¡¯s love and marriage are their own choices. They have their own ideas and reasons.¡±Father Zuo suddenly said something before the old man was about to make things difficult for him. ¡± What do they know? They only know how to do things according to their own temperaments. They don¡¯t care about the concern of their families and the most perfect arrangements!¡±The old man snorted. Xu Yuan sat at the side with a faint smile. Seeing that Chengxin was indeed very embarrassed, she reached out and patted her hand gently to comfort her. Chengxin smiled. Although she did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng frequently, she quietly looked up at Gu Anhao. Anhao looked at the various delicacies in front of her. Although she knew they were delicious just by looking and smelling them, it was rare that she was not in the mood to eat them today. Her entire heart was hanging in the air because of the seemingly calm but actually smoky conversation at the table. She reached out and placed her hand on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s leg. He held her hand and patted her gently to comfort her. He lowered his eyes and said to her,¡±¡±Eat in peace. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be hungry at night. I¡¯ll have to ask the kitchen to cook for you.¡± Anhao stuck out her tongue.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a half-smile.¡±¡±Not only have I shouted it before, but I¡¯ve shouted it quite a number of times.¡± It seemed like¡­ There really was such a thing¡­ Anhao was embarrassed. She secretly pinched his hand under the table. Zuo Hancheng smiled and held her naughty hand. He said in a low voice,¡±lf you don¡¯t eat it now, it¡¯ll get cold.¡± ¡°If you say that about me, everyone will think that I¡¯m a foodie who only cares about eating. It¡¯s too embarrassing.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was very low, but everyone at the table still heard her. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother and father could not help but laugh. Zuo Yue almost burst out laughing and secretly gave Zuo Hancheng a thumbs up. She did not expect that her brother, Zuo Hancheng, who was usually serious, would show off his affection today. It was really amazing! ¡°Anhao, I heard that you¡¯re just pregnant. You don¡¯t have to worry about so much. It¡¯s more important to absorb more nutrients. Hurry up and eat. Everyone has already eaten a lot, but you haven¡¯t moved your chopsticks much.¡±Mother Zuo, Xu Yuan, said with a kind smile.. Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: Fancy Show of Affection (3) Chapter 272: Fancy Show of Affection (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No, it¡¯s very appetizing. It¡¯s just that seeing that everyone is talking, I¡¯m too embarrassed to eat.¡±Anhao said honestly. ¡°What¡¯s there to be embarrassed about? You¡¯re the granddaughter-in-law of our Zuo family.¡±Xu Yuan looked at her and smiled.¡± Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, when it gets cold, we¡¯ll have to ask Aunt Wang and the others to bring it back to the kitchen to heat it up again.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao nodded and obediently picked up her chopsticks. However, she didn¡¯t eat immediately. She was considering that the conflict wasn¡¯t only with Chengxin but also with herself. Although Zuo Hancheng and Zuo Yue were trying their best to protect him, it seemed that he was setting more obstacles for his future by completely ignoring the existence of the old man. Anhao turned to look at Master Zuo, whose eyes were cold and his face was filled with displeasure. He couldn¡¯t even eat. ¡°Grandpa, this is the first time I came to the Zuo family. I thought you were a loving old man, but I was intimidated by your imposing manner as soon as I entered the house, so I didn¡¯t say much. However, I know that this is very wrong. If I have offended grandfather in any way, please forgive me and give me a chance to be filial to grandfather.¡± After she finished speaking, Anhao nodded respectfully at the old man. Although the old man didn¡¯t like Anhao and didn¡¯t accept her existence, he was still a smart and sensible girl after hearing what she said. His expression softened a little, but it was just a little. However, his tone was still unhappy. ¡°I¡¯ve been around for so many years, and my children and grandchildren are all busy, including Zuo Yue, the useless girl, who is also unwilling to accompany me. Cheng Xin, although not my biological granddaughter, is better than my biological granddaughter. I want her to be my granddaughter-in-law, and in my eyes, only she has the qualification to represent my granddaughter-in-law¡¯s identity to honor me.¡±¡® ¡°As for you, Gu Anhao, no matter how beautifully you put it, I will still treat you the same. The Zuo family doesn¡¯t welcome you.¡± ¡°The main gate of the Zuo family is no longer my world.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said,¡± I¡¯ve already let go of everything in the Zuo family five years ago. This was a choice that Grandpa made for me. I brought Anhao back only because Grandpa said that he wanted to see his granddaughter-in-law. It¡¯s not because I wanted Anhao to come and beg you to let her enter the Zuo family. She¡¯s my wife. Whether Grandpa agrees or not, she¡¯s still Mrs. Zuo.¡¯¡±¡® Old Master Zuo looked at her coldly and said,¡±Hancheng, you¡¯ve grown wings!¡± You dare to go against me like this?¡± ¡°Grandpa, you are so old, yet you are making things difficult for a young lady like Anhao. As your grandson, I can¡¯t stand it, and as Anhao¡¯s husband, I won¡¯t tolerate it either.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he lifted the hand that he and Anhao were holding under the table. Anhao was stunned. She was completely caught off guard and her hand was raised just like that. Everyone saw the two of them holding hands. The old man glared at him in confusion.¡±What do you mean?¡± ¡°It is better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a marriage. As an elder, although Grandpa is old and sometimes muddle-headed, he should not be so muddle-headed as to personally destroy your grandson¡¯s marriage, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Zuo Hancheng had a faint smile on his face, but it did not reach his eyes. Old Master Zuo looked at their hands and his face turned cold. He suddenly turned to look at Cheng Xin beside him. ¡°Chengxin, you¡¯ve been in Cold City for so many years, but in the end, he¡¯s heartless. It¡¯s all my fault for causing you to suffer such harm. There was a hint of disappointment in Chengxin¡¯s eyes, but she managed to control her disappointment perfectly. After she lowered her eyes, she smiled with a strong expression, ¡°¡±Grandpa, I grew up with Hancheng, and I used to like to stay by his side. Although he was very busy, he always took extra care of me. Although I was hurt when Hancheng left the United States five years ago, it has been so long, and my heart has gradually become numb to waiting.¡± Chengxin¡¯s words were not stupid, but it sounded like she had no choice but to give up. However, the unwillingness and disappointment in her tone were not hidden at all. ¡°Hancheng, since Miss Gu is your choice, I wish you all the best. ¡°Chengxin smiled and raised the glass of red wine in front of her. At the same time, she looked at Anhao.¡±Miss Gu, have a drink.¡± Anhao instinctively wanted to pick up the glass, but before her hand could touch the red wine glass in front of her, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand suddenly pressed down on her. He pressed her hand down.¡± Anhao just got pregnant. She can¡¯t drink.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Look at me, I almost forgot about this. Then¡­ Han City¡­¡± Chengxin finally found an opportunity to look at Zuo Hancheng again. She gazed at him gently and raised her glass again. ¡°Then let¡¯s have a drink¡­¡¯ Before she could say anything more, Zuo Hancheng had already taken the glass of wine in front of Anhao and drank it. Before Chengxin could react, he had already put down the glass and smiled politely. Chengxin took a few deep breaths and held back the urge to say something. Since Old Master Zuo was right beside her, she couldn¡¯t act too domineering or despicable, so she just held it in and drank two mouthfuls of red wine with slightly red eyes. Seeing Chengxin¡¯s forbearance, Grandpa Shen¡¯s heart ached. Then, he saw that Anhao really didn¡¯t seem to have much appetite and was just casually eating a few things in front of her. Suddenly, he remembered something. ¡°Xu Yuan, find some time to bring Gu Anhao to the hospital for a check-up. I want to see if she¡¯s really pregnant.¡± Old Master Zuo said as he looked coldly at Gu Anhao, who suddenly stopped eating.¡±You like fish so much when you¡¯re pregnant? Isn¡¯t the smell of fish disgusting?¡± Anhao¡¯s entire body stiffened. She had no idea what it would be like to be pregnant. If Zuo Hancheng had not reminded her just now, she would have already drunk. It was even more impossible for her to know what to eat now. She hesitated and was about to put down her chopsticks when Zuo Yue, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly frowned and said, ¡°¡±Grandpa, you¡¯re really old and muddle-headed, aren¡¯t you? Even I know that not everyone who is pregnant will have morning sickness. There are many types of pregnancy reactions. Do you have to be so suspicious?¡± Old Master Zuo was still looking at Gu Anhao, observing all the expressions on her face. Anhao regained her composure after hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s words. She put down her chopsticks calmly and saw Zuo Hancheng looking at her. She raised her eyes and looked at him. Others might not be able to see her emotions, but Zuo Hancheng could tell that Anhao was telling him with her eyes that she could handle the situation.. Chapter 273 - Chapter 273: Fancy Show of Affection (4) Chapter 273: Fancy Show of Affection (4) Translator: 549690339 Others might not be able to see her emotions, but Zuo Hancheng could tell that Anhao was telling him with her eyes that she could handle the situation. Seeing her like this, Zuo Hancheng did not take the initiative to interrupt. However, when the old man¡¯s gaze fell on his face, he could not help but sigh coldly. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression, Old Master Zuo hesitated for a moment. Although he was very angry, Hancheng had finally returned. If he were to anger him again, he would probably never see this kid again. Therefore, the old man suppressed his anger and did not say anything else. Chengxin also stood at the side with slightly red eyes and did not say anything. She looked like she was extremely wronged but had no right to say anything more. Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, smiled and continued to smooth things over.¡±Hurry up and eat. Aunt Wang specially made Chinese food. Dad, you haven¡¯t eaten Chinese food in a long time, right? I still remember 20 years ago when Hancheng was only 10 years old. At that time, you took him to the mainland to investigate the business resources. After returning from there, you kept nagging about how delicious Chinese food was for a few years, so you specially hired a few people who could cook Chinese food in the kitchen. It¡¯s just that you rarely eat Chinese food in recent years. Fortunately, Aunt Wang¡¯s cooking is not raw, and the taste is still so good.¡± After Xu Yuan changed the topic, the old man¡¯s expression softened a little, but he refused to look at Gu Anhao. He only frowned and said,¡¯¡±¡®No matter how delicious it is, I have no appetite. I¡¯m already old, and now I¡¯m filled with anger. I can¡¯t eat anything.¡± Anhao suddenly said,¡± Grandpa probably doesn¡¯t have an appetite because he¡¯s angry. It¡¯s probably because there¡¯s fire in his body that causes his tongue to be dry. That¡¯s why he doesn¡¯t want to eat.¡± Canned hawthorn has the effect of quenching thirst and appetizing. I happen to have two cans in my suitcase. I¡¯ll go get them for Grandpa.¡± Anhao stood up and was about to leave. Old Master Zuo frowned.¡± Sit down. You don¡¯t have to get canned food. I won¡¯t eat anything appetizing just because I can¡¯t finish a meal. You young people can eat whatever you like. You don¡¯t have to show off. No matter how much you show off, I won¡¯t like you.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao paused for a moment and smiled nonchalantly.¡±Grandpa, I¡¯m not trying to show off, but I happen to have canned hawthorn in my suitcase. I was afraid of getting airsick before boarding the plane, so I bought it at the airport and planned to eat it when I got airsick. It was just that I was in good condition on the plane, so I kept it in my suitcase and didn¡¯t take it out. I didn¡¯t mean to show anything. Grandpa, I¡¯m already your granddaughter-in-law. This is just out of concern for my elders.¡± ¡°Alright, sit down and eat your food. I don¡¯t need it.¡±The old man¡¯s attitude softened a little. Although his expression was not good, his voice was no longer as harsh as before. Anhao returned to her seat and Mother Zuo smiled as she scooped a bowl of white fungus soup for her.¡±¡±Come, eat some tremella. It¡¯s light sweet and not bad. Although you are pregnant and need nutrition, you don¡¯t have to eat too much fish and meat. It¡¯s better to eat some light tonics like tremella occasionally.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Anhao had already adapted to the environment in front of her. She nodded at Mother Zuo and took it with a smile. Seeing that she was adapting well, Zuo Hancheng watched as she lowered her head and drank the white fungus soup obediently. His lips gradually curved into a smile that indicated that he was in a good mood. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were always on Gu Anhao, Chengxin, who was sitting beside the old man, hid the disappointment in her eyes. She quietly picked up her chopsticks and picked up some appetizing dishes and placed them in the bowl in front of the old man. ¡°Grandpa, eat something.¡± When the old man saw the dishes that Chengxin had picked up, he more or less gave Chengxin some face and also picked up his chopsticks to eat some. This old man was obviously still trying to push Chengxin down on her, and Anhao could tell. However, she knew how to take things step by step, so she was not in a hurry. After all, there were so many people sitting on her side. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to let her suffer in front of the old master, so she was not afraid at all. She didn¡¯t believe in sincerity, but she believed that good feelings between people couldn¡¯t be formed in a day. As long as she was more determined, no matter how hard the old man made things difficult for her, he wouldn¡¯t do anything to her. After dinner, Anhao was so full that she almost couldn¡¯t straighten her back. It wasn¡¯t that she had no manners at the Zuo family¡¯s house, nor was it that she kept eating when she saw delicious food. It was just that when she was almost done eating, Mother Zuo kept putting all kinds of delicious food into her bowl. During this period, she personally scooped no less than two bowls of soup for her. When she could finally leave the dining table, Anhao felt that her stomach was about to explode. ¡°Mom, look at you. You kept putting food into Sister-in-law¡¯s bowl just now. She¡¯s so full that she can¡¯t stand up straight.¡±Zuo Yue said as she walked past Anhao with half an apple in her mouth. Xu Yuan turned around and saw Anhao secretly rubbing her stomach. She smiled and walked over. ¡°Did you really eat too much? Do you want to go out for a walk and digest it?¡± Anhao nodded. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was talking to Father Zuo next door, so she did not call him. ¡°Zuo Yue, accompany Anhao out for a walk.¡±Xu Yuan stopped Zuo Yue, who was about to run out. Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched and she could only turn around and walk over. She held Anhao¡¯s arm and walked out. As they walked, she said,¡±¡±Sister-in-law, Grandpa is a stubborn old man. You can actually eat so much under his cold gaze and Chengxin¡¯s aggrieved gaze. Even I have to admire you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m more thick-skinned. I don¡¯t care because everyone is on my side. After all, nothing is too perfect. Moreover, that Miss Cheng always looks at me from time to time. I can¡¯t act as if I mind and fear her existence, right?¡± Anhao also smiled and walked out with Zuo Yue hand in hand. The two of them walked through the courtyard. It was already around 10:30 pm. Even in America, the sky was already dark. Zuo Yue pointed at the brightly lit garden not far away.¡±¡±There, do you see it? There¡¯s a windmill tower over there. It¡¯s a place I used to go to when I was young, but Sister-in-law, you can¡¯t climb high now, so I won¡¯t take you there. But I have a good place, it¡¯s a place my brother used to play when he was very young.¡± ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Over there.¡± Zuo Yue was about to pull Anhao away when her phone rang. She glanced at the number on her phone and gritted her teeth.¡±This bastard!¡± As she spoke, she suddenly turned around and said to Anhao, ¡°¡±l¡¯m going to take a call. Wait for me. Anhao nodded. Zuo Yue turned around and took the phone to a place further away to answer it. Looking at Zuo Yue¡¯s mysterious appearance, she did not know who was calling.. Chapter 274 - Chapter 274: Fancy Show of Affection (5) Chapter 274: Fancy Show of Affection (5) Translator: 549690339 There was a fountain with rainbow lights in the courtyard, which emitted the seven colors of the rainbow at night. Seeing that it was not far away, Anhao walked straight to the fountain. Before she reached the fountain, she suddenly heard footsteps. In the blink of an eye, she saw Chengxin, who had walked out at some point in time, coming from that direction. Anhao paused. She did not want to have any direct contact with Miss Cheng. After all, they were not familiar with each other. Besides, based on her personality, she would instinctively tear apart someone who harbored ill intentions towards Zuo Hancheng, or even mock the other party. However, this was the Zuo family. She did not want to cause trouble. After all, she had to give her husband face. Anhao turned around and was about to leave. ¡°Miss Gu, the wind is so strong here, and you¡¯re still standing here. Aren¡¯t you afraid of catching a cold?¡±Chengxin walked over with a smile in her eyes. Anhao stopped in her tracks. He was already walking towards her, not to mention that their eyes were already locked. Even if she stuck her eyes out, she could no longer pretend that she did not see anything. She turned around and smiled at Chengxin, but Chengxin curled her lips slightly and walked past her. When she reached the rainbow fountain, she slightly adjusted her high-end silk coat. The bracelet on her wrist was shining. It was obvious that it was a high-end bracelet of high value. Anhao lowered her head and looked at herself. Although the quality of the clothes that she bought at the airport for cheap was acceptable, they were worlds apart from the clothes that Chengxin was wearing. The bracelet that Zuo Hancheng had once bought for her had been left at her home in the Gilded Scenic Garden in a fit of anger. Now, in comparison, she was like a high and mighty princess, a country bumpkin who was faking her pregnancy. Anhao didn¡¯t have any sense of being a country bumpkin at all. She only glanced at Chengxin¡¯s back and didn¡¯t know why she was standing there with a melancholic look on her face. After thinking about it, she felt that the silence between the two of them was very awkward. It was better to leave. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the depressed Miss Cheng finally spoke. ¡± When I was young, I used to play here with Han Cheng. It used to be a hot spring without any lights. I said that it would be even more beautiful if we installed rainbow lights in it. Han Cheng saw that I liked this fountain very much, so he specially went to tell Grandpa that he would ask the workers to install rainbow lights in this fountain and turn it into a rainbow fountain.¡± In an instant, Anhao felt as if she was about to turn into a drama. Because Chengxin had already spoken, it was not convenient for her to leave without saying a word. She could only walk back and look up at the fountain in front of her.¡±Miss Cheng¡¯s taste is not bad.¡± Seemingly not expecting Anhao to not be jealous at all, Chengxin turned to look at her. When Anhao looked back at her, Chengxin smiled slightly. ¡°Hancheng said the same thing.¡± Fine, Han City, Han City. Every word he said was that he had never left Han City. Anhao spread her hands nonchalantly.¡±¡±lt seems that my husband¡¯s taste is similar to mine. He usually won¡¯t deny anyone¡¯s preferences. Even if he doesn¡¯t really like it, he can¡¯t be stingy with any praise.¡± Chengxin¡¯s expression froze for a moment before she suddenly looked at Anhao.¡±¡±Miss Gu looks very confident.¡± ¡°Is there?¡± Anhao replied ambiguously, then laughed.¡±l think I did hear my husband mention this advantage of mine. I used to think that he was just coaxing me, but it turns out that it¡¯s true.¡± Chengxin was rendered speechless by Anhao¡¯s shameless words. At this moment, Anhao raised her hand generously.¡¯¡±¡® We didn¡¯t have a chance to have a proper conversation during dinner because the elders were present. Now, we should be officially acquainted. Hello, I¡¯m Gu Anhao, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Anhao introduced herself with a smile, her eyes sharp. She couldn¡¯t let this Chengxin think that she was the polite and quiet little girl in front of the old man. Otherwise, who knew when this ill-intentioned Chengxin would want to bully her? She had to reveal her true nature as soon as possible so that she would think twice before making a move. Cheng Xin was stunned for a moment before she reached out her hand. The two of them shook hands with a fake smile in the standard etiquette of XX¡¯s diplomat. Then, Cheng Xin¡¯s hand moved away at lightning speed, as if there was something dirty on Anhao¡¯s hand. Anhao clapped her hands nonchalantly and said casually, ¡®¡±¡®1 heard that Miss Cheng has been visiting the old master of the Zuo family frequently these past few years. I also heard that your position in the old master¡¯s heart is not even comparable to Zuo Yue¡¯s. It seems that you are more filial to the old master than to your own biological grandfather.¡± Chengxin had originally planned to take control and say something to make Gu Anhao back off. At first, it was just a few probing words. Before he could say what he really wanted to say, he was suddenly stopped by Anhao¡¯s words. He could only smile to hide his slight embarrassment. ¡°Actually, Miss Cheng doesn¡¯t have to feel awkward standing with me.¡±Anhao ¡®kindly¡¯ took the initiative to resolve her awkwardness.¡±¡±For a man like my husband, the number of women who like him is just like the number of fish crossing the river. There will only be more and not fewer. Fortunately, my husband is clean and honest.¡± ¡°Besides,¡± Anhao smiled and said,¡± Since we¡¯ve already become Mrs. Zuo, we must always be careful of the people around us. I, Gu Anhao, don¡¯t have any family background or background, but I have a courage that others don¡¯t have. For a mistress, whether she¡¯s openly flirtatious or secretly cheap, it¡¯s not a problem for me.¡± Seeing that Chengxin¡¯s expression was getting uglier and uglier, Anhao raised her eyebrows and said,¡±¡±Of course, I know that Miss Cheng is definitely not one of those women I mentioned. I can tell from your smile that a beautiful woman like you, who is as noble and pure as a lotus flower, would definitely not have the shameless idea of interfering in someone else¡¯s marriage and becoming a mistress.¡± Anhao actually wanted to know if a Chinese socialite like Chengxin, who was born and raised in the United States, would understand the meaning of a mistress and a white lotus. Seeing that Chengxin¡¯s expression was getting uglier and uglier, it seemed that even in the United States, she still knew a lot of these popular sarcastic terms in recent years. Anhao smiled even more.¡± The night breeze is so strong. Zuo Yue disappeared after a phone call. I¡¯m going back to my room. Since this rainbow fountain belongs to you and my husband¡¯s memories before you were ten years old, I won¡¯t disturb you.¡±¡± When Chengxin looked at Anhao¡¯s smug face in surprise and her face turned pale with anger, Anhao raised her hand and waved at her like a lucky cat, then turned around and left. Anhao turned around and curled her lips. She was just a grandson in front of the old master just now, but now she finally felt like a boss.. When dealing with a despicable person, she could not be soft-hearted! Chapter 275 - Chapter 275: Fancy Show of Affection (6) Chapter 275: Fancy Show of Affection (6) Translator: 549690339 Initially, Anhao had planned to return to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom directly, but she still had to pass by the front hall where the banquet had just been held to greet the elders of the Zuo family. Since she had to be well-behaved in front of the elders, she had to be polite, right? As soon as he walked into the front hall, he saw Xu Yuan on the phone with some relatives and sisters. When she mentioned that Zuo Hancheng had returned, her eyes were filled with joy. As expected, the person who loved children the most in this world was a mother. No matter how powerful Zuo Hancheng was or how far he had gone in the past five years, the look of relief and happiness in his mother¡¯s eyes could not be deceived. It had been many years since Anhao had felt this kind of feeling. The figure who had rolled down the stairs more than five years ago flashed in front of her eyes. When Xu Yuan put down the phone, she smiled and walked over.¡±Mom, is Hancheng talking to Dad in front?¡± ¡°Yeah, he hasn¡¯t been back for so many years. Although we understand the decision of the City of Han when they left, since he¡¯s finally back, we have to talk about what happened in the past few years.¡±¡±Do you still feel stuffed?¡± Xu Yuan smiled at her. Do you want Aunt Wang to make you some soup to help with digestion?¡± ¡°Uh, no need, no need. I¡¯m afraid my stomach will really burst if I drink more soup. I already feel much better after going out for a walk just now.¡± ¡°This child.¡± Xu Yuan said with a smile. Suddenly, she thought of something and took out a red packet from her handbag.¡±Look at me, I¡¯m so busy that I forgot. Anhao, it¡¯s your first time in the Zuo family. As your mother-in-law, I don¡¯t know if you like clothes or jewelry. I know you¡¯re not a vain girl, so I¡¯ll be more practical and give you a red packet. You can fill it up with whatever you like. If you don¡¯t have enough money, just tell me. Now that you¡¯re in America, I¡¯ll take care of everything.¡± Xu Yuan stuffed a thick red packet into Anhao¡¯s hands while she was still in a daze.¡±¡±l know that you met in Hancheng in China and got married in China, so we followed the Chinese custom. You can¡¯t reject this red packet. This is a custom and a blessing.¡± Anhao was really at a loss and wanted to refuse, but when she heard the second half of Mother Zuo¡¯s sentence, her hand paused and she took the red packet hesitantly. The amount of money inside was very thick. Moreover, the Zuo family had been in the United States for so many years, so they definitely wouldn¡¯t have prepared RMB to wrap this red packet, so¡­ There should be US dollars inside¡­ In other words, the amount of money in the red packet was definitely so much that she was flattered. ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Even though Anhao¡¯s little heart was trembling and she had an embarrassed expression on her face, she was actually overjoyed. She held the red packet in her hands with a smile on her face.¡±l just came to the Zuo family today, and I¡¯ve already caused you so much trouble. I don¡¯t know what to say. I feel that my mouth has become stupid in front of you.¡± ¡°Just be more natural, just like how you scolded Hancheng on the phone. I¡¯ve never seen a girl like you who dared to secretly belittle Hancheng like that.¡± Xu Yuan said as she pulled her to sit down.¡±¡±While Hancheng isn¡¯t around, tell me, how did you get together with Hancheng? Although I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with your marriage just because you¡¯re young, I¡¯m still very curious. How did a person with a personality like Hancheng marry a strange little girl like you?¡± Anhao was embarrassed. She said she met him at a bar? This would make Mother Zuo think that she was not a decent girl. But where did she meet the CEO of Shengling Group? Just as she was thinking about how to answer, Xu Yuan smiled and said, ¡°¡±Alright, look at your blushing face. I won¡¯t ask if you¡¯re too embarrassed to say it. It¡¯s fine as long as you and Hancheng continue to be in love.¡± As Xu Yuan spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and gently tucked Anhao¡¯s hair behind her ear. This action made Anhao¡¯s entire body stiffen. She looked at the gentle Mother Zuo who was sitting beside her. Mother Zuo tidied up her collar again and looked at Anhao¡¯s eyebrows carefully. She patted Anhao¡¯s shoulder gently.¡¯¡±You¡¯re such a good child. Perhaps I hit it off with you, but the more I look at you, the more I like you Anhao smiled. He didn¡¯t know how long it had been since he had felt this kind of steady and warm feeling. She did not know how long it had been since an elder had held her hand and talked to her so patiently, even using his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears. This was once her mother¡¯s favorite action. Every time she helped her with her hair, she would be as gentle as Mother Zuo, and her eyes were filled with her. Anhao sat stiffly next to Mother Zuo and did not say anything. Mother Zuo continued to pat her clothes gently and smoothed them out. Then, she smiled and said,¡±¡±l believe that Han City¡¯s decision is the best, so no matter what the old man says or does, you have to remember that we are on your side.¡± Anhao¡¯s nose turned sour, and tears almost flowed out of her eyes. When Mother Zuo habitually raised her hand to tuck her mischievous hair behind her ear, tears almost fell from her eyes. She had thought that her mother-in-law was a terrifying existence in this world, but she did not expect that all the hardships she had experienced in the Gu family would finally find light at this time. It felt like his mother was sitting in front of him. It was as if her mother was supporting her by her side. What a familiar yet strange feeling. Anhao¡¯s eyes were red as she sniffed. She did not let her tears fall. She pursed her lips and smiled.¡±Yes, thank you, Mom.¡± ¡°Why is this child¡¯s eyes turning red as she talks?¡± ¡± No, it¡¯s because you¡¯re too good to me. Look at me, these are tears of gratitude. How sincere!¡± Xu Yuan was instantly amused by her and patted her head.¡±¡±lt¡¯s getting late. When Hancheng comes back later, let him send you back to your room to rest¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, the old man suddenly walked out from next door. He must have just gone to talk to Zuo Hancheng and Father Zuo about the various Zuo¡¯s groups. He looked quite calm. However, when Anhao looked at the old man, before she could even greet him, the old man turned to look at the time expressionlessly.¡±¡±How many points are these? Has Chengxin gone back?¡± ¡°I just saw Miss Cheng at the rainbow fountain. She shouldn¡¯t have gone back yet.¡± The old man acted as if he did not hear her words.¡±lt¡¯s so late. Don¡¯t let her go back. Xu Yuan, ask someone to arrange a room for Chengxin and let her stay here tonight..¡± Chapter 276 - Chapter 276: Life Is Full of Dramatic Things (1) Chapter 276: Life Is Full of Dramatic Things (1) Translator: 549690339 Mother Zuo was about to answer when a figure suddenly walked in from the door. Chengxin walked in with a pale face. The thin dress on her body could not block the cold wind at night. Although Los Angeles was not as cold as the cities further north in winter, it was still very cold at night. Anhao had just felt the bone-chilling cold wind and was too lazy to stand outside any longer, so she had walked straight back. She didn¡¯t expect Chengxin to wear less than her and stand outside for so long. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The old man¡¯s sharp eyes noticed that Chengxin¡¯s complexion was very bad. Her face was pale and she walked unsteadily. He couldn¡¯t help but walk over quickly with his walking stick. ¡°Why do you look so pale?¡± As soon as he got close, he felt the cold air on Chengxin¡¯s body. He immediately frowned and said,¡±Why did you run outside? How long have you been standing outside?¡± Anhao also looked in Chengxin¡¯s direction. She did not know why she had been standing at the fountain and refusing to leave. Could it be that she was really reminiscing about her childhood with Zuo Hancheng? It was not to the extent of risking her life. There was already some water coming out of the fountain. In addition, the weather was so cold. Even if she was wearing a thick fur coat, the cold wind would blow through her. let alone a small dress. As she was hesitating, Chengxin looked at the old man with a trembling gaze. There was a hint of grievance in her eyes, and then she suddenly turned to look in Anhao¡¯s direction. The moment Chengxin looked at her, Anhao instinctively felt a chill down her spine. She had a feeling that something was going to happen. ¡°I was just going out for a walk, but I saw Miss Gu at the Rainbow Fountain.¡±Chengxin said with a pale face. She looked like she was in a bad state, and her voice was soft and weak.¡±After I talked to Miss Gu for a while, she suddenly said that she had something to do and wanted to go back to the front hall. She asked me to wait for her at the fountain. As she spoke, Chengxin¡¯s eyes turned slightly red, but she refused to cry as if she was trying to be brave. She only said in confusion, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Miss Gu would take so long to go back, so I waited for her at the fountain. I didn¡¯t expect that she didn¡¯t plan to go out at all and was actually here chatting with Aunt Zuo.¡± When the old man heard this, he immediately looked at Anhao with a pair of sharp eyes. Anhao opened her mouth. She wanted to explain that there was no such thing, but when she saw the old man¡¯s eyes, she immediately understood what Chengxin wanted to do. Was she trying to ruin her image in front of the old man after the old man had no choice but to compromise with Zuo Hancheng and give up on the marriage with the Cheng family? ¡°But Grandpa, don¡¯t blame Miss Gu. Perhaps Miss Gu just forgot that I¡¯m still waiting for her outside. I thought Miss Gu had something to tell me, so I waited foolishly. I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡± Chengxin continued to add fuel to the fire in her soft voice, and the anger in the old man¡¯s eyes grew even stronger. Xu Yuan, who was sitting next to Anhao, looked at Chengxin in confusion and then at Anhao¡¯s furrowed brows. Although she didn¡¯t know the truth, she quickly said to ease the atmosphere,¡±¡±Hurry back to your room and change into warm clothes. Then, drink some warm soup to prevent yourself from catching a cold. Aunt Wang, quickly send Miss Cheng off¡­¡± ¡°Aunt Wang, bring Gu Anhao¡¯s luggage over and throw it out!¡±Old Master Zuo suddenly interrupted Xu Yuan¡¯s words and said angrily with a cold gaze. Anhao¡¯s face immediately tightened as she looked at the determination in the old man¡¯s eyes in disbelief. She stood up immediately.¡± I didn¡¯t do anything. I didn¡¯t even ask Miss Cheng to wait for me. The old man did not listen to her explanation at all. When Aunt Wang walked out but did not know what to do, he said coldly,¡±Go, throw Gu Anhao¡¯s luggage out. Don¡¯t say that I don¡¯t tolerate her in the first place, and now the Zuo family can¡¯t tolerate her even more. From now on, this little girl full of schemes was not allowed to have any relationship with the Zuo family! Tomorrow, she would let Hancheng settle the divorce procedures with her!¡± ¡°Dad!¡± Xu Yuan quickly stood up.¡± Please calm down. We don¡¯t know what happened. You can¡¯t¡­ ¡°What do you mean? It was obvious that Gu Anhao saw that Chengxin grew up with Hancheng and had been waiting for Hancheng to come back. She felt jealous and wanted to make Chengxin suffer! He really couldn¡¯t tell that this little girl was so young, but she was full of tricks! Our Zuo family will never allow such a woman to enter the house!¡± With that, the old man turned around and said angrily,¡±Aunt Wang! Hurry up and go!¡± Aunt Wang was stunned. She looked at Mrs. Zuo and Anhao and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether she should go or not. Seeing that Mrs. Zuo kept secretly winking at her, she nodded and turned to leave. ¡°Grandpa, I really didn¡¯t do anything. I did see Miss Cheng outside, but I only spoke a few words with her before I came back.¡±Although Anhao already had the urge to tear the roof of the Zuo family apart, she held back her anger for the sake of her mother. Usually, she could be slandered in school or at the Gu family. Anyway, she did not care. However, this was the Zuo family, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s home, and all the elders of the Zuo family were here. It was not easy for her to feel that Mother Zuo was like a mother and could not bear to part with these warm people. However, a few words from Chengxin instantly hit her bottom. How could she compromise so easily? ¡°You don¡¯t need to explain. You just need to leave immediately.¡±The old man looked at her expressionlessly.¡±Little girl surnamed Gu, you¡¯re still too inexperienced to bully people in our Zuo family. Although Chengxin isn¡¯t my granddaughter, she¡¯s my precious baby. If you dare to secretly do bad things to her, I¡¯ll definitely make you suffer!¡± ¡® Grandpa, maybe Miss Gu really just forgot about it. It¡¯s all my fault for waiting like a fool. Actually, it¡¯s not a big deal¡­¡± Cheng Xin whispered. When Old Master heard Chengxin¡¯s sensible words, he glared even more angrily at Anhao, who could not defend herself.¡±¡±Look, look, why do I want Hancheng to marry a girl from a family? Why do I say that Gu Anhao, a young girl without any background or upbringing, is not worthy of entering the Zuo family? One did something wrong but did not know how to repent, while the other was wronged but kept putting in good words for the other party! Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t even blush!¡± Initially, Anhao was still very patient to explain, but when she heard Old Master Zuo say that she had no parents to educate her, her face immediately turned cold. Seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s expression, the old man said nonchalantly,¡±¡±You¡¯re still a little girl, so I don¡¯t want to say anything worse. Please be more self-aware and get out of the Zuo family!¡± ¡°Dad, your words are too¡­¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Suddenly, a cold voice came from inside. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure walked over from the next room as he spoke.. Chapter 277 - Chapter 277: Life Is Full of Dramatic Things (2) Chapter 277: Life Is Full of Dramatic Things (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure walked over from the next room as he spoke. However, the moment he walked out, Anhao had already walked straight to the front of the old man. Her eyes met the old man¡¯s without fear. ¡°Grandpa, you can protect Miss Cheng, who you like, or you can think that I did such a thing because you don¡¯t know me well. However, you scolded my parents in passing. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve gone too far?¡± Initially, Gu Anhao was so quiet that she didn¡¯t dare to speak in front of him. But now, this little girl suddenly walked out. She was neither servile nor overbearing, but her eyes were sharp. This made Master Zuo narrow his eyes. ¡°You can frame me with one sentence? Could it be that the iron law between people is that the Miss Cheng you like must be kind-hearted and repay evil with good? She must be weak and unable to withstand the wind. As your granddaughter-in-law, I must be greedy for vanity, have a heart like a snake or scorpion, and be sinister and vicious?¡± When the old man frowned coldly, Anhao immediately sneered at Chengxin, who was standing beside the old man with an aggrieved expression.¡±¡±Miss Cheng, as a weak socialite who repays evil with good, how can you believe my words so easily? I told you to wait outside, so you waited outside? He would even rather let himself catch a cold before coming back? Should I kneel down and admit my ¡®wrongdoing¡¯, or should I laugh at your brain?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Cheng Xin¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± the old man said angrily. Anhao was already very unhappy about being slandered for no reason, and the old man mocked her for not having parents to discipline her. She completely couldn¡¯t care less about the Zuo family and grandfather. She sneered.¡± Grandpa, since Miss Cheng has caught a cold, you should quickly call the doctor to take a look at her. Otherwise, a small cold will cause other serious illnesses. It won¡¯t be good if I inexplicably cause her to die of illness.¡±¡® ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s more.¡± Anhao looked coldly at Chengxin, who had a cautious expression on her face.¡±¡±Miss Cheng, it¡¯s your business if you want to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family, but don¡¯t think about splashing this pot of dog blood on me. I won¡¯t accept this kind of injustice! Or you can just find evidence to prove that I made you wait outside for so long. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡± Cheng Xin took a step back in fear, her face turning pale. The old man was so angry that he raised the walking stick in his hand and was about to hit Gu Anhao. When Xu Yuan saw the old man¡¯s actions, she immediately cried out in a low voice in shock,¡±Dad! You can¡¯t do it!¡± Seeing that the old man was about to hit her, Anhao instinctively took a step back. However, the old man¡¯s walking stick was very long, and it was useless for her to take a step back. Seeing that the walking stick was already coming towards her, Anhao gritted her teeth and glared at the angry old man. In the blink of an eye, the walking stick that was about to land on her was grabbed by someone. The old man turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had suddenly flashed over.¡±Let go!¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had already guessed what Anhao was talking about. He looked at the anger in the old man¡¯s eyes coldly. ¡°Before the truth is found out, grandfather only relies on his own feelings to determine the so-called truth. Is this what you should do as an elder of the Zuo family?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes stared coldly at the old man¡¯s face, which was so angry that it was about to twist. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that Gu Anhao actually dared to make a fuss in front of an elder like me? You have no manners at all!¡± The old man¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. ¡°Anhao has always been respectful and courteous to you since she entered the house. What forced Anhao, who had been trying her best to please you, to suddenly run in front of you and shout? Grandpa, do you need me to explain the reason?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng picked up the old man¡¯s walking stick and handed it back to him. The old man was so angry that his entire body was trembling, but he could not deny that Zuo Hancheng was right. Gu Anhao had been trying her best to be obedient and quiet ever since she walked into the Zuo family home. Even when he asked her to shut up, she didn¡¯t go up and say anything even though she felt wronged. However, in that instant just now, that girl¡¯s eyes were so cold. ¡® Grandpa, please don¡¯t blame Miss Gu. Perhaps Miss Gu really forgot¡­¡± Seeing this situation, Chengxin quickly reached out and gently tugged at the old man¡¯s sleeve. Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly turned towards Chengxin¡¯s direction like a sharp knife. In fact, Anhao felt that she was quite a graceful person sometimes. She rarely argued with two-faced people like Chengxin. After all, such people were too difficult to deal with and she had nothing to do. However, no matter how she looked at the current situation, it seemed like she was bullying an outsider with the surname Cheng because she had the support of Zuo Hancheng and the Zuo family. Moreover, Chengxin¡¯s face was indeed very pale. She suddenly coughed softly as if she had really caught a cold. Moreover, she was so weak that it seemed to be very serious after being blown by the cold wind for a while. When the old master heard her aggrieved words, he was even more furious. He replied, ¡°Hancheng, bring this Gu Anhao out of the Zuo family immediately! We¡¯ll get a divorce tomorrow!¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned and looked away from the old man¡¯s body. He looked at Cheng Xin, but he just looked at her situation. Then he suddenly lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Anhao beside him. Anhao¡¯s hands were hanging straight by her sides, but she was clenching her fists because she was enduring it. This girl did not suddenly attack like she did when she hit Han Ru. She was already trying her best to hold it in. She only felt humiliated, so she confronted the old man directly. This was her nature, but it was also a way for Zuo Hancheng to see if she had been wronged. ¡°Grandfather, you¡¯re being too arbitrary in making such a decision now.¡±Zuo Hancheng obviously did not put down the harsh words directly because of Chengxin¡¯s face. Instead, he only said to the old man calmly,¡±This is the Zuo family. Anhao just came to the Zuo family and wants to live here quietly for a few days. Her goal is to be able to gather with her family happily. She has no reason to do bad things to Chengxin. Even if Grandpa is protecting her, shouldn¡¯t he see the truth first? If things were really as Chengxin said, then what was Anhao¡¯s motive?¡± Cheng Xin looked at Zuo Hancheng with red eyes.¡± Hancheng, I really didn¡¯t mean to make things difficult for you. Miss Gu had a great time chatting with me before. I just don¡¯t know why she made me wait for her outside for so long. I didn¡¯t mean to make you guys fight¡­.¡± Chapter 278 - Chapter 278: Life Is Full of Dramatic Things (3) Chapter 278: Life Is Full of Dramatic Things (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Chengxin, you don¡¯t have to explain. I¡¯m here to help you. ¡°When the old man heard Chengxin¡¯s words, he frowned even more. His tone was full of dissatisfaction with Anhao and even more displeasure at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s protection of Anhao. ¡°Grandfather, forget it.¡± Chengxin looked up at Zuo Hancheng and whispered, ¡°¡±Hancheng doesn¡¯t want Anhao to be hurt. Let¡¯s forget about this matter. Anyway, there was nothing going on anyway¡­¡± ¡°How can we just let it go like this? Hancheng was mesmerized by Gu Anhao, this little vixen, and he could not tell the good from the bad!¡± The old man said angrily and then said coldly, ¡°Hancheng, think about it carefully. You should know Chengxin¡¯s personality. The weather outside is so cold now. How could she be so stupid to stand outside for so long and not come back? If Gu Anhao didn¡¯t deliberately let her catch a cold outside, she would have come back long ago. It was obvious that Gu Anhao was up to no good in this matter! This is the most obvious answer!¡± As soon as the old man finished speaking, a figure suddenly ran in from outside the door. Zuo Yue ran in in a hurry and said while panting,¡±¡±Aiya, why are you all here?¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue suddenly walked towards Anhao.¡±¡±Anhao, you¡¯re back? You scared me to death. I ran back to my room to call someone else after answering a phone call that almost angered me to death. I completely forgot about you! Just now, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have asked you to wait for me in the courtyard. Fortunately, you were smart enough to know that I wasn¡¯t reliable, so you came back first. Otherwise, I was really afraid that you would catch a cold after waiting for too long. If you caught a cold, Brother and Father and Mother would definitely scold me to death¡­¡± The room instantly fell silent. Zuo Yue¡¯s few unintentional words successfully reversed the situation. The old man immediately glanced at Zuo Yue. Cheng Xin¡¯s face became even paler. Her eyes gradually drooped down, avoiding the questioning eyes of the people around her. Xu Yuan walked over and held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Did you ask Anhao to wait for you outside?¡± ¡°Yeah, why?¡± Zuo Yue turned around and said in confusion,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Sister-in-law come back early? He didn¡¯t catch a cold, right? I was outside with Sister-in-law just now when my phone suddenly rang. I ran to answer the phone and asked her to wait for me. In the end, I forgot about her. When I remembered it just now, I was so scared that I rushed over.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s gaze fell on Anhao again, and she said softly,¡±¡±Dad, I think we should just forget about this matter. You¡¯ve seen what happened between Zuo Yue and Anhao. Anhao was not familiar with the Zuo family, but she came back first because she felt the weather getting cold. She did not continue to wait for Zuo Yue, that crazy girl. Miss Cheng is already very familiar with the Zuo family, but in the end¡­¡± Xu Yuan was only halfway through her sentence when she looked directly into the old man¡¯s eyes.¡±Dad, I think we should just forget about it.¡± ¡°Aunt Zuo, it was really Miss Gu who asked me to wait for her¡­¡± Chengxin suddenly said softly. Hearing Cheng Xin slandering Anhao at this time, Xu Yuan had some friendship with Cheng Family. Even though she already understood the situation, she couldn¡¯t be too confident. She just sighed and looked at Cheng Xin, then at the old man. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else, but her lips curled up coldly. There was really nothing in life that was not melodramatic. The eldest daughter of the Cheng family wanted to slander her with such a ridiculous thing, but she forgot that the Zuo family was smart and no one was stupid. She thought that no one would question the truth if the old man protected her. However, she had miscalculated. In the Zuo family, she, Gu Anhao, was the real granddaughter-in-law. Other than the old man, everyone else was on her side. Therefore, no matter how much blood Chengxin spilled, not many people would buy it. ¡°Zuo Yue, accompany Anhao back to her room to rest.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said coldly. Anhao was stunned. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was looking at the old man with a clear gaze. She hesitated for a moment and knew that the current situation was actually beneficial to her. Since Zuo Hancheng did not want her to get involved, she obediently turned around and looked at Zuo Yue. Although Zuo Yue did not understand the situation, she still obediently came over to hold Anhao¡¯s hand and whispered,¡±¡±Sister-in-law, the atmosphere here isn¡¯t right. Let¡¯s go.¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment before she glanced at Zuo Hancheng again. Then, she turned around and nodded politely at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother. Xu Yuan gave Anhao a gentle smile as a form of comfort. She then nodded to signal for her to go to bed early. Anhao then turned around and followed Zuo Yue. After walking out, Anhao was no longer aware of the situation in the front hall. However, when she thought of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unfriendly expression and gaze, she figured that she did not need to explain or intervene in this matter anymore. However, she really did not expect Chengxin to use such a childish and despicable method to target her. Did he really think that he could be easily toyed with at the age of nineteen? Did he really think that she wouldn¡¯t resist at all just because she was cautious in the Zuo family? Chengxin might be smart and knew how to manipulate people¡¯s hearts, but the person she offended was Gu Anhao. When they returned to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom, Zuo Yue, who had just found out about the situation, was still indignant and kept scolding Chengxin for being a sinister person. She really did not expect that a person like Chengxin would do such a despicable thing besides being hypocritical. ¡°Why does Grandpa like Chengxin so much?¡±ln the room, Anhao asked curiously. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at the door and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s all because of the strong brotherhood between Grandpa and Grandpa Cheng. The Zuo family has a history of 200 years in the United States, but when Grandpa took over the Zuo family¡¯s business when he was young, he encountered a financial crisis. The Zuo family was almost destroyed in his hands. It was Grandpa Cheng who helped her get back a part of the important funds, so that the Zuo family could rise again.¡± ¡°Although Grandpa is a stubborn old man, he still remembers the kindness of the past and treats Grandpa Cheng¡¯s children very well. Now that Grandpa Cheng¡¯s granddaughter is here, he has always wanted Grandpa Cheng¡¯s granddaughter to become his granddaughter-in-law.¡± So that was the case. It seemed that the old man¡¯s life experience was suitable for writing a melodramatic novel. When Chengxin slandered Anhao, it was already midnight. Anhao and Zuo Yue were chatting in the room and both of them fell asleep by the bed. After that, she didn¡¯t know who was the first one to lie on the bed. Anyway, when the morning sun shone through the window, Anhao opened her eyes. What she saw was not Zuo Hancheng¡¯s familiar handsome face, but Zuo Yue¡¯s strange sleeping position. Anhao suddenly sat up and raised her hand to grab her hair. She turned around and saw that it was already seven in the morning. Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t come back to rest for the entire night? Chapter 279 - Chapter 279: Other Than You Chapter 279: Other Than You Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t come back to rest for the entire night? Was his grandfather still making things difficult for him? Realizing this, Anhao quickly got out of bed to wash up. After tidying up, she ignored Zuo Yue, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and ran out of the door, heading quickly to the front hall from last night. ¡°Miss Gu.¡± The butler, Uncle Chen, was talking to a servant who walked past the front hall. After he finished giving instructions, he turned around and saw Gu Anhao walking over quickly. He smiled politely at her and said, ¡°Good morning. ¡± Anhao nodded at the butler. She turned around and looked around again. Then, she stuck her head out and looked inside again. She couldn¡¯t see anything, so she asked directly, ¡°Uncle Chen, did Zuo Hancheng not go back to his room to rest last night?¡± Butler Chen raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a faint smile.¡±Mr. Zuo went to rest at three in the morning yesterday. He only knew that our Miss and Miss Gu were already asleep, so he didn¡¯t go back to his room. Instead, he temporarily rested in the small bedroom at the back of the hall.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart twitched inexplicably and she felt a little sore. Zuo Hancheng had stayed up so late because of her, but he had gone to the small bedroom to rest because he did not want to disturb her when she had fallen asleep. She nodded at Uncle Chen and turned around to walk in the direction of the small bedroom that he had pointed at just now. After passing through the banquet hall from last night, it was no longer as lively as last night. Other than a few servants who were doing routine cleaning, she could not see anyone else. Fortunately, the servants of the Zuo family could speak Chinese, so it was very convenient for them to communicate. She asked which room Zuo Hancheng was resting in, and after getting the answer, she walked straight to the corridor at the back of the banquet hall. After passing through the corridor, she saw an eighteenth-century European-style attic with a spiral staircase. She walked up the stairs and almost bumped into someone who was walking out of the door. Seeing that it was Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, Anhao quickly greeted,¡±¡±Good morning, Mom.¡± Xu Yuan saw that she had come so early in the morning and immediately understood who she was looking for. She smiled and said,¡±Han Cheng only went to bed at three in the morning, but he kept talking to his father and just went to bed.¡± ¡± Don¡¯t worry, Mom.¡± Anhao nodded.¡± I won¡¯t disturb him.¡± It¡¯s just that I¡¯m very sorry for what happened last night. I made you guys sleep so late.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about what happened last night. We all know what happened. ¡°Xu Yuan smiled and said, ¡°Even the old man knows what¡¯s going on. It¡¯s just that he insists on protecting Miss Cheng. ¡®¡±¡® Hearing this, Anhao¡¯s expression instantly brightened up.¡±¡±You didn¡¯t misunderstand me.¡± ¡°How could I have misunderstood you? You are my daughter-in-law, and Han Cheng has never been wrong in judging people. Not to mention that Han Cheng has always insisted that you are not in the wrong, even without Han Cheng¡¯s insistence, we can still see the truth. It must have been hard on you. I can see that you had a hard time enduring it in front of the old master last night.¡± ¡® It¡¯s alright.¡± Ann smiled.¡± I believe Grandpa will like me one day.¡¯¡±¡® Xu Yuan nodded her head in satisfaction. She held Anhao¡¯s hand and said gently, Because it was too late last night, Chengxin also stayed at the Zuo family¡¯s house. However, she didn¡¯t stay here, but stayed in the high-class guest room. There are special servants to take care of her. At present, there is only Hancheng here. You can go and see him if you want to, but try to let him sleep a little longer and not disturb him.¡± Anhao nodded.¡± Yes, I know. I won¡¯t disturb him.¡± Xu Yuan smiled and touched her face.¡±¡±Hancheng said that Gu Anhao will always be the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. Whether it¡¯s in America, China, or anywhere else in the world, you¡¯re the most suitable Mrs. Zuo for him.¡± Ann heard and her eyes were slightly stunned, but Xu Yuan looked at her with a gentle gaze.¡±Good child, Hancheng has always been cautious and serious. He is never a person who speaks too decisively. When he said this yesterday, the old master and we were all shocked. So, since you¡¯ve already said this, you can just be my daughter-in-law. No one can chase you away..¡± Chapter 280 - Chapter 280: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (1) Chapter 280: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (1) Translator: 549690339 Hancheng said that Gu Anhao would always be the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. No matter if it was in America, China, or anywhere else in the world, she was the most suitable Mrs. Zuo for him. He would not consider anyone else other than her. This sentence kept echoing in Gu Anhao¡¯s mind. Even after Xu Yuan left, Anhao was still standing in the corridor in a daze. When she came back to her senses, Xu Yuan had already walked far away. She looked up at the bedroom that Xu Yuan had pointed at and walked over. When she reached the door, she hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her hand to try to push the door open. The door was not locked, perhaps because there were no outsiders who could come and go as they wished. Anhao gently pushed open the door and peeked into the bedroom. This was indeed a bedroom that was not too big. It was at least half the size of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom. However, the decoration was simple and elegant, and the color scheme gave off a quiet feeling. Anhao walked in and closed the door quietly. She turned around and walked into another room. When she pushed open the door, she saw Zuo Hancheng lying on the bed, as if he was really asleep. She saw that he had taken a quick shower before going to bed. When he fell asleep, he was still wearing a bathrobe and had a blanket casually draped over him. The sunlight outside the window shone on his face, giving him an exceptionally quiet feeling. Anhao walked in and drew the curtains. The room instantly became much darker. At least there was no glaring sunlight falling on his face. After she drew the curtains, she walked quietly to the bedside and bent down to take a closer look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sleeping face. When this man was asleep, he always gave people a very caring, warm, and very close feeling. He was not as high and mighty as when he was awake, nor was he President Zuo when he was awake. He was just a man named Zuo Hancheng. No matter where he went in this world, was she the only Mrs. Zuo who was most suitable for him? Thinking of this, Anhao smiled. She rested her chin on one hand and sat by the bed, looking at the man who was sleeping soundly. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. This man was so handsome that it was as if he was God¡¯s most outstanding masterpiece. They had known each other for so long, and it was not the first day she had secretly looked at him, but why was he still so handsome that it made her blush and her heart race? She had clearly promised not to disturb him or wake him up, but Anhao¡¯s self-control was not good enough, especially when she saw such a sleeping beauty in front of her. He was also her beloved husband. She thought about how he had protected her last night, and although he did not say much, he had firmly trusted her completely. She felt a burst of joy in her heart. She could not help but raise her hand and use her index finger to gently touch his eyebrows. This man¡¯s eyebrows were so beautiful that she did not know how to describe them. Her finger slowly slid across his eyebrows and then slowly slid along his handsome neck. Tsk, such a perfect face. When it was sunny, it was like the warm sun, but when it was cold, it was like a storm, making her tremble. Which side was the real Zuo Hancheng? Her fingers slid down again, and just as she was about to touch his lips, she suddenly hesitated. She felt that she had gone too far, taking advantage of someone else¡¯s sleep so blatantly. She slowly shrank her shoulders and was about to move her hand away from his lips when suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand, which had been quietly placed by his side, raised and grabbed her wrist. Anhao was shocked and her eyes widened. When he opened his eyes and looked at her with a faint smile, her face flushed red as she tried to retract her hand. Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, smiled wickedly.¡±You want to leave after taking advantage of me?¡± His voice was a little hoarse. It was obvious that he had really fallen asleep, but he was still woken up by her ¡°touch¡±. Anhao pulled her hand back awkwardly. Zuo Hancheng lay on the bed and did not move. He looked at her with a lazy and sexy expression.¡±You¡¯re up so early? Aren¡¯t you going to sleep a little longer?¡± Anhao looked at the time. It was indeed early. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°¡±What happened last night was a worry. I couldn¡¯t sleep so well. I couldn¡¯t sleep after waking up in the morning, so I ran out to look for you. They said you were here, so I came over.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly.¡± You¡¯ve been staring at me ever since you came here. You even touched me. It seems that you¡¯re not worried enough and you¡¯re not stressed enough.¡±¡® Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± That¡¯s because you¡¯re here. Even if I¡¯m framed by others, I think you can help me settle it, so I won¡¯t be very worried.¡±¡® ¡°What you said just now was reasonable.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. ¡°My little wild cat has grown a conscience recently.¡± Hearing this description, Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes.¡±¡±l¡¯ve always had a conscience!¡± ¡°I always thought you didn¡¯t have a heart.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± No heart¡­ These three words caused waves in Anhao¡¯s heart as she recalled the night in the small hotel in T City. She lowered her eyes and pouted her lips after a long time.¡±Haven¡¯t I already apologized to the two of you?¡± ¡°Apologize?¡± Zuo Hancheng still had a lazy look on his face and his voice was slightly hoarse.¡¯¡±¡®Where is your sincerity?¡± ¡°What sincerity is needed for an apology? I¡¯ve already followed you back to the Zuo family. Is this not considered sincerity? With my personality, I didn¡¯t turn hostile in front of Grandpa and didn¡¯t flip your roof. Is this considered insincere?¡±Anhao said with widened eyes. ¡°Is this your sincerity?¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Anhao racked her brain and thought about it again.¡±Didn¡¯t I kiss you after I apologized that day¡­This can be considered sincerity¡­¡± ¡°There is sincerity, but it is not enough.¡±Zuo Hancheng continued to comment. ¡°What¡¯s not enough?¡± Anhao frowned. What else do you want?¡± As soon as she finished her sentence, she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s meaningful gaze. Then, she saw him lying on the bed with a faint smile and gently patting the position beside him. She almost bit off her tongue. She pretended not to understand and sat by the bed without moving. Zuo Hancheng patiently did not rush her, but he gave her a meaningful smile and said, ¡°Do you really want to apologize or are you just giving me a few perfunctory words?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m sincere¡­¡± Anhao pursed her lips. ¡°Then come over.¡± He patted the spot beside him patiently. Anhao felt as if all the hair on her body were about to stand on end. However, when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s half-smiling expression and his meaningful gaze, she felt as if she was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He had been patiently waiting for her to come to him.. Chapter 281 - Chapter 281: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (2) Chapter 281: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (2) Translator: 549690339 This time, she had really delivered herself to his door and even fell into his trap word by word. However, she had no choice but to fall into this trap. She had to apologize. Anhao secretly rolled her eyes at the ceiling. She got up and slowly walked around the bed to the other side of Zuo Hancheng. She sat on the bed and lay down. When she laid down, she turned to Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±What else do you want? Don¡¯t tell me you want me to sit on you to show my sincerity?¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to hug her when he heard her words. His hand froze and he looked down at the little woman lying beside him. He smiled and said, ¡°¡±lf you want to be so proactive, of course I don¡¯t mind.¡± Anhao continued to roll her eyes.¡±Don¡¯t flatter yourself!¡± However, just as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng suddenly hugged her, causing her to stiffen in shock.¡±¡±Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t be such a beast, right? We just flew back to America for such a long time yesterday and rushed back to the Zuo family. Then, so many things happened. You didn¡¯t sleep for another night, and you still have the energy to¡­¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t have the energy.¡± He gently interrupted her words and hugged her in his arms. Then, he hugged her sideways and covered her with the blanket at the same time. When Anhao looked up at him in surprise, Zuo Hancheng patted her head gently to comfort her.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that you didn¡¯t sleep well last night because you had something on your mind? I really don¡¯t have the energy to do anything to you right now, so we¡¯ll just sleep, okay?¡± Anhao opened her mouth in surprise. She felt as if she was being embraced by him like a treasure. Her body was surrounded by the warmth of his blanket, and her nose was filled with the pleasant smell of his body and the fragrance of his shower gel. ¡°Is it really okay for me to sleep here instead of greeting Grandpa and Mom and Dad?¡± Seeing that he was really tired, Anhao believed that he simply wanted to hug her to sleep. However, she still had to fight against the big BOSS of the old man, so she really couldn¡¯t sleep with a clear conscience. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see my dear Mrs. Zuo when you came just now?¡±Zuo Hancheng said softly. Anhao didn¡¯t understand the meaning of the words ¡± Mrs. Zuo ¡± for a moment. It took her a long time to realize that he was talking about his mother, Xu Yuan. ¡°I saw it.¡± The corner of her mouth twitched. ¡°That¡¯s fine. She knows how to tell Old Master about you during breakfast. Besides, I don¡¯t think you want to see Chengxin at the dining table so early in the morning. She stayed here last night and will definitely eat breakfast with Old Master.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to! I don¡¯t like breakfast to begin with. If I see Miss Cheng, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to eat!¡±Anhao answered firmly. ¡°Then sleep until we wake up naturally. No one will disturb us.¡±Zuo Hancheng patted her head.¡±¡±Don¡¯t forget that behind you are your parents and Zuo Yue. No matter how strong the old man is, he can¡¯t beat so many mouths.¡± Anhao felt that it made sense, so she leaned her head against his neck and found a particularly comfortable position. She took a deep breath of his scent, and her mind was filled with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was indeed too careful in this relationship. She was so careful that she was almost heartless. She was not even worthy of such a good Zuo Hancheng. She suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. She said softly,¡±Sleep Goodnight! Zuo Hancheng glanced at the morning sun outside the window and did not object to her goodnight. He only smiled and patted her shoulder and held her firmly in his arms. He looked at the little woman who was curled up in his arms and was about to fall asleep. His eyes were so gentle that even he did not notice the deep affection in them. The first time she came to the Zuo family, she slept until she woke up naturally on the first night. This feeling was really happy and nervous. When Anhao woke up, it was already noon. She had missed breakfast, so it was time for lunch. Zuo Hancheng had obviously woken up a long time ago, but he did not get out of bed. He had fulfilled his promise to sleep with her, and he did not leave her alone to wake up awkwardly. She turned around and saw that he was reading a document in English on a tablet. She could not understand it, but there were some red circles on the screen of the tablet. She sat up straight and leaned against him.¡±You just returned to the States and you¡¯re already so busy? Could it be that he was going to the company¡¯s old site in Los Angeles for a meeting in the next two days?¡± ¡°The company¡¯s schedule is in two days. I will accompany you in the Zuo family for the next two days. If you don¡¯t want to be here alone, you can come to the company with me.¡±Zuo Hancheng turned his head to look at her and raised his hand to stroke her hair.¡±¡±Did you sleep well?¡± ¡°Yes, I slept last night, but I wasn¡¯t very stable. I slept for a few hours just now, so I¡¯m still energetic and full of sleep.¡±Anhao said as she stretched comfortably.¡±lf we miss breakfast, Dad and Mom can still speak up for us. If we miss lunch, will Grandpa eat me instead of lunch?¡± After saying that, she turned around and got out of bed. She ran to the bathroom at the side to wash up again. After tidying up, she grabbed her hair and said, ¡°My hair has already grown so much. Even if I don¡¯t cut it short, I¡¯ll have to find a place to trim it when I return to China. Otherwise, it¡¯ll look so messy.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her hair, which had already grown four to five centimeters below her ears. Her hair was growing at a moderate pace. At this rate, her hair would reach her shoulders in the summer. Seeing how she wasn¡¯t used to having long hair and how she was fiddling with it, he smiled faintly and didn¡¯t object. When the two of them left the bedroom and arrived at the banquet hall, it was indeed lunchtime. The old man¡¯s expression turned ugly when he saw Anhao.¡±¡±You really don¡¯t know the rules. It¡¯s your first day in the Zuo family and you¡¯re sleeping so late.¡± ¡°Dad, didn¡¯t we talk about it this morning? Anhao is pregnant and she¡¯s always sleepy. Plus, she¡¯s been on the road for two days and had a hard day yesterday. She only went to bed very late. I was the one who let her sleep a little longer in the morning.¡±Xu Yuan said. ¡°Xu Yuan, I¡¯m the one educating this granddaughter-in-law who wants to enter the Zuo family.¡±The old man frowned in dissatisfaction at Mother Zuo¡¯s repeated defense of Gu Anhao. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s already been a day, and you¡¯re still angry?¡± Xu Yuan sighed.¡± ¡°Why should I?¡± The old man said coldly,¡± I¡¯ve never planned to accept such a granddaughter-in-law. Of course, I won¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s just that out of sight, out of mind.. Now that she¡¯s here and has woken up so late, why are you stopping me trom saying a few words to her?¡± Chapter 282 - Chapter 282: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (3) Chapter 282: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Grandpa, if you want to talk about Sister-in-law, it¡¯s your business. But you have to see clearly why Sister-in-law slept so late last night. And my brother, what happened last night that made him stay up until three in the morning to rest? You should know in your heart, right?¡± Zuo Yue, who was sitting not far away and trimming her nails, suddenly spoke. The old man¡¯s face instantly turned cold. He did not look at Zuo Yue but continued to look coldly at Gu Anhao.¡±Why are there so many people speaking up for you when you¡¯re sleeping in? What kind of bewitching soup did you give them?¡± When Anhao first came in, she was planning to borrow a rubber band from Zuo Yue to tie her hair up. However, when she came in, she was reprimanded by the old man, so she had no choice but to stop. Anhao was no longer as unprepared as she was yesterday when faced with the old man¡¯s serious criticism. She smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly saw Chengxin walk in from outside the door. Chengxin had not left yet! Was she planning to stay here to make her presence known since Zuo Hancheng had returned? Or was it because the old master insisted on chasing him away and decided to stay here and wait for an empty seat? Anhao¡¯s mind was racing, but before she could say anything, Zuo Hancheng had already walked forward slowly and said,¡±¡±Anhao was a little frightened last night, and her pregnancy was a little serious this morning. I asked her to stay in the room and rest for a few more hours.¡¯ The moment Zuo Hancheng spoke, Chengxin, who had changed into a white dress, walked in. Her face was almost the same color as her dress. Everyone knew exactly what Gu Anhao was referring to when she said that she had suffered a little shock last night. The old man also frowned and was quite dissatisfied with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. In the blink of an eye, he saw that Chengxin, who had walked to his side, did not look too good. He frowned and said, ¡°Hancheng, since the matter has already passed, there¡¯s no need to mention it again.¡± Anhao was a little confused as she listened. She did not know why Zuo Hancheng¡¯s simple words had caused Chengxin and the old man¡¯s expressions to change. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with joy. Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, also looked calmly in Chengxin¡¯s direction. Anhao had a rough idea of what to do. Perhaps Zuo Hancheng had already uncovered the truth before he went back to rest last night. Therefore, when Chengxin heard that she was frightened, her expression made it seem as if she was the one who was frightened. Since the old man had said that there was no need to mention it, Zuo Hancheng, as a man with good manners, naturally would not hold on to it. He only curled his lips coldly. Seeing this, Chengxin felt that she was in a disadvantageous position. Seeing that the old man had actually said something soft to protect her, she couldn¡¯t hold it in for a moment. She suddenly walked forward and said to Anhao,¡±Miss Gu, I¡¯m very sorry about what happened last night. I didn¡¯t hear you clearly and didn¡¯t understand the true meaning of your words. I mistakenly thought that you asked me to wait for you outside, and in the end, it caused such a joke.¡± Logically speaking, any normal person could see that Chengxin was looking for a way out. Facing the elders of the Zuo family and her husband, anyone would give Chengxin a way out to show their kindness. However, the person in front of Chengxin was Gu Anhao. Who was Gu Anhao? She had been bullied too much in the Gu family these few years and had long been trained to be full of thorns. If anyone dared to splash water on her, she would boil it before splashing it back. It would not be easy to find a way out of this situation. After Chengxin finished speaking, Anhao looked at her in confusion.¡±¡±What exactly did I say to make you misunderstand?¡± Unexpectedly, Gu Anhao did not give him any face and asked him a question in return. Chengxin¡¯s expression froze. It was obvious that she was not prepared and did not have a good script. She was stammering for a moment. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say¡­lf you feel cold, come in and get a coat.. Anhao looked at him strangely.¡±¡±My coat is in the suitcase, and the suitcase is in the bedroom. Why would I come back here to get my coat? ¡®I didn¡¯t say such words at all. Moreover, Miss Cheng is so young that her ears aren¡¯t bad. It¡¯s impossible for her to mishear my words. I didn¡¯t say it, so why do you insist that you misheard and misunderstood?¡±¡® Chengxin¡¯s face turned ashen. She clasped her hands tightly together and looked at Gu Anhao. There was a hint of grievance and bullying in her eyes. ¡°Miss Cheng, please don¡¯t look at me like that. I¡¯m afraid. Last night, you had this aggrieved look in your eyes. In the end, when Grandpa saw this look in your eyes, he scolded me. Even my dead mother was scolded. If you look at me like that now, I¡¯m afraid that Grandpa¡¯s walking stick will hit me.¡± ¡°Pfft¡­ Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. She sat on the sofa and held her stomach as she snickered. However, the gasping sound of her holding her mouth still made the old man and Chengxin¡¯s expressions turn uglier and uglier. ¡°Alright, the wind was so strong last night. It¡¯s not surprising that Chengxin misheard you.¡±The old man suddenly opened his mouth and cleared his throat at the same time.¡±What are you all standing there for? I went to the dining room for lunch. Some people didn¡¯t have breakfast. If you¡¯re still not hungry, you can go back to sleep. Coincidentally, I saw some people who came into our Zuo family with ill intentions and lost my appetite.¡± ¡°It just so happens that Anhao¡¯s appetite isn¡¯t that good either. It¡¯s not easy for her to return to the Zuo family, but this family banquet isn¡¯t a real family banquet. There are always outsiders around, and she feels awkward sitting together to eat, so I brought her out to eat.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said. The old man¡¯s footsteps suddenly froze. He turned around and looked at him.¡±Hancheng, what do you mean?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not give Old Master Zuo a chance to speak. He grabbed Anhao¡¯s hand and brushed past Chengxin, whose face was stiff and pale. Of course, Anhao saw the cold look on the old man¡¯s face and the embarrassment in Chengxin¡¯s eyes that could no longer be concealed. Just as the two of them were about to leave the house, the old man suddenly jabbed his walking stick on the ground.¡±Stop right there!¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks but did not turn back. He held Anhao¡¯s hand tightly and did not have any intention of letting go. ¡°Are you not even willing to have a good meal with grandfather?¡± Old Master Zuo turned around and looked at him.¡± We were in a hurry last night, so we didn¡¯t even have a chance to talk properly. You want to take Gu Anhao out for dinner today? Are you trying to piss me off?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng still did not turn around. He said calmly and coldly,¡±¡±Since you haven¡¯t returned for five years, you¡¯ve brought Anhao back now. You¡¯re supposed to come back to show filial piety to the old master, but don¡¯t you know what you¡¯re doing?¡± The old man¡¯s expression froze. He looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back and then at Chengxin, who was standing at the side with a wronged and unwilling look in her eyes. There was a trace of hesitation on his face.. Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (4) Chapter 283: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Yes, Dad, you¡¯re forcing Han City to leave. Since Han Cheng came back, he must have brought his granddaughter-in-law back to see you, but you¡­¡± Xu Yuan looked at Chengxin who was beside the old man and stopped talking. Everyone could clearly see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s protective attitude. The old man was furious, but he could only frown as he looked at the two of them holding hands. Then, he turned to look at Chengxin, who was aggrieved and silent. After about ten seconds, the old man suddenly sighed.¡± Sigh, what a sin. Hancheng, don¡¯t blame Grandpa for making things difficult for Gu Anhao. Look at you, Chengxin was fine and didn¡¯t want to get married. She would rather leave home for five years than marry into the Cheng family. In the end, she just casually married Gu Anhao. What are you thinking¡­ Anhao did not pay attention to the old man¡¯s words. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and whispered,¡±¡±Although this Zuo family is big, it is not warm at all. Although Anhao¡¯s voice was not loud, it could still be heard by everyone here. The old man immediately looked at her coldly. Zuo Hancheng said coldly before the old man could speak,¡±¡±indeed, even after we got married, there were still people who tried to occupy the magpie¡¯s nest. Anhao, I¡¯ve made you suffer.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was neither too loud nor too soft. It was a doting tone. It was as if he could only see Anhao in his eyes, and his tone was casual. However, such a light sentence had an extremely powerful killing power. Cheng Xin¡¯s face was so pale that she could not say a word. She only raised her head and looked at his back, her eyes filled with hurt. The old man was about to say something, but seeing that Zuo Hancheng was really going to leave with Anhao, he hesitated for a moment and actually chose to take a step back.¡¯¡±¡® Fine, fine, fine. Hancheng, stay for dinner. I finally got you back, so let¡¯s not talk about Chengxin for now. But even if you don¡¯t think about anything else, you should consider that Chengxin is your grandfather¡¯s granddaughter. You should at least give her some face. You can¡¯t always say such hurtful words. Zuo Hancheng curled his lips coldly. Before he could say anything, Zuo Yue rushed up and said, ¡°¡±Grandpa, it was Chengxin who hurt her first, right? She was the one who framed Sister-in-law first yesterday. Initially, my brother just didn¡¯t accept Chengxin and didn¡¯t have any intention of targeting her. However, Chengxin lied yesterday and caused Sister-in-law to not sleep well last night. All of this is on her. Why are you pushing the blame to my brother and Sister-in-law?!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± The old man could not be angry at Zuo Hancheng now. He did not expect Zuo Yue to dare to stand up and criticize him. He immediately glared at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulders trembled. She was frightened by the old man¡¯s imposing manner. She rolled her eyes at Chengxin who was beside him and turned back to the sofa to continue cutting her nails. ¡°Grandpa¡­¡± Cheng Xin suddenly spoke,¡± Since even Zuo Yue misunderstood me like this, it seems that my presence here has really made everyone unhappy. I¡¯d better leave.¡± With that, Chengxin turned around with red eyes and secretly wiped her tears. Grandpa Sheng turned around and looked at Cheng Xin¡¯s back. He thought for a moment and suddenly looked in the direction of Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao.¡± Don¡¯t leave. We¡¯ll have a peaceful lunch today. Hancheng and Gu Anhao will stay. Chengxin, don¡¯t leave either. You¡¯ve been coming to the Zuo family since you were young, so you¡¯re basically a member of the Zuo family. Even if Hancheng doesn¡¯t accept you, you¡¯re still the precious granddaughter of me and your grandfather. No one can bully you.¡±¡® Although the old man was still defending Chengxin, his words were already a big concession for the time being. Chengxin turned around and said obediently, ¡°Alright, in order to not disappoint Grandpa, I¡¯ll have a good lunch with Grandpa and leave in the afternoon.¡± The old man didn¡¯t object this time. Chengxin¡¯s situation here was not very good, and the more she went on like this, the more Hancheng would hate her. This was contrary to his original thoughts and plans. Seeing that the old man had really compromised, Anhao stole a glance at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he had no intention of leaving. When he held her hand and turned her around, she was even more certain that Zuo Hancheng was clearly trying to intimidate the old master. This was retreating in order to advance. This man was always in control of everything without batting an eyelid. Tsk tsk, even she, who had been standing beside him all this time, did not notice it. Only now did she finally realize it. Seeing that the old man had already led the way to the dining room, it was obvious that he was still angry. It was also obvious that he knew Zuo Hancheng¡¯s goal, but he still held back his anger. Anhao raised her hand and gave Zuo Hancheng a thumbs up.¡±¡±l thought the old man was your nemesis. So you¡¯re the old man¡¯s nemesis.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and pulled her to the dining room. For a moment, she felt as if she could be held by his hand forever. After the meal, Anhao took the opportunity to ask Zuo Yue for a colorful rubber band to tie her hair up while Old Master Zuo and Father Zuo were talking. It had been many years since she tied her hair with a rubber band. Although she could only tie a short tail behind her head, she felt more feminine all of a sudden. Zuo Yue even thoughtfully found a pair of cute colorful diamond earrings for Anhao to put on. Anhao noticed that the label of the pair of colorful diamond earrings had not been removed, so it must be her new purchase. Just as she was about to refuse, Zuo Yue pulled her to sit in front of the mirror and stubbornly put the earrings on. ¡°Then, look, how beautiful.¡± Zuo Yue stood behind her in satisfaction. She looked at Anhao in the mirror and chuckled.¡±¡±l didn¡¯t buy these earrings recently. When I went shopping with my friends in New York at the beginning of the year, I passed by a jewelry store. I thought they looked good, so I bought a few pairs, but I only wore one pair.¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue turned around and rummaged through his cabinet like a treasure.¡±¡±Sister-in-law, I still have a lot of jewelry and gadgets that I bought but haven¡¯t opened yet. Do you want them? I¡¯ll give you some.¡± ¡°No need. I don¡¯t usually have the habit of wearing these things. The pair you gave me is enough.¡±Anhao said happily as she looked at the mirror and touched her ears and the small earrings with colorful diamonds. ¡°How can that do? There¡¯s nothing to get used to. I have a lot of them here anyway. I don¡¯t wear them myself. It¡¯s a waste to keep them. The most important thing was that Chengxin didn¡¯t look like she was exaggerating, but her hair clip, earrings, diamond necklace, and even a small bag all revealed a lot of knowledge. She was a scheming b * tch. Every single one of them revealed the style of a socialite. She wanted to outshine you..¡± Chapter 284 - Chapter 284: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (5) Chapter 284: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I don¡¯t like it just looking at it. So, Sister-in-law, since you¡¯re willing to let your hair grow longer, you should wear some simple jewelry. We don¡¯t have to dress up so extravagantly, but we should at least have some small accessories.¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she excitedly took out many small accessories and placed them on Anhao¡¯s body one by one. However, Anhao was wearing a simple casual suit now, so it was indeed not suitable for her to wear too many small accessories. In the end, she reluctantly accepted a few small items, but she did not wear them. She carefully put them away and said that she would find an opportunity to wear them in the future. She tied her hair up and wore a pair of colorful diamond earrings that suited her very well. However, no matter what age a woman was, if she were to dress up a little, her temperament and complexion would immediately change significantly. This feeling of being more feminine in an instant made Anhao feel novel. Zuo Yue had just started her holiday and there had been a lot of calls recently. Many friends had asked her out for a vacation. When Zuo Yue received another call from a friend, Anhao retreated from her room first. It was almost two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, and the weather was good. It was neither cold nor hot, so there was no need to wear a thick coat. It was enough to just walk around in casual clothes. After Anhao walked out of Zuo Yue¡¯s room, she slowly strolled around the courtyard and saw a few servants trimming the flowers in the garden behind the courtyard. The flowers that grew in this slightly cool weather looked especially bright and beautiful, and they were blue in color. She walked over and took out her phone to take a few photos of the beautiful flowers. Just as she was about to use her phone to check what kind of flowers they were, her phone suddenly rang. Looking at the number displayed on the screen, Anhao frowned. She had almost forgotten that Gu Tianming had been calling her frequently and had even gone to her school to pick her up. What was Gu Tianming¡¯s motive? Why was he looking for her? She had not been in the mood to think about the Gu family¡¯s matters recently. She only knew that Gu Tianming had many political meetings to attend in Beijing because it was the beginning of the year, so he did not stay in City A for long. It seemed like he had been in Beijing for the past month. He probably hadn¡¯t even returned to the Gu residence, yet he came looking for her the moment he returned to A City. This was the first time in five years. She would never believe that he had no ulterior motives. However, Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi were still unwilling to admit that she was married to Zuo Hancheng. Gu Tianming did not have time to discuss this with the Gu family. He probably did not know that she was already Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Therefore, her initial assumption that he wanted to use her to get close to Zuo Hancheng was not true. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone and placed it beside her ear, but she did not say anything. When the call was connected, Gu Tianming¡¯s deep and cold voice came through.¡±Are you on vacation?¡± Anhao looked up at the blue flowers in front of her and replied indifferently,¡±¡±Mayor Gu, just tell me what you want. There¡¯s no need to specially ask about your well-being. No matter how concerned you look, I can hear the hypocrisy and ruthlessness in your bones through the phone.¡± ¡°You!¡± Gu Tianming almost scolded her, but he endured it. Suddenly, he asked in puzzlement, ¡°Where are you? Why was the signal so bad? The voice sounds so blurry?¡± Anhao paused and looked down at her phone. It was probably because she was overseas that her SIM card might not have a particularly good signal overseas. It was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that she was actually answering a phone call. After making such a call, how much money would she owe when she went back! She gritted her teeth in pain and put the phone back to her ear. She did not explain or say that she was in America. She only said,¡±What is it? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Gu Tianming suddenly said in a deep voice,¡± Didn¡¯t I ask you to find some time to contact me and make a trip back to the Gu family? Are you ignoring my words?¡± ¡°Mayor Gu is so busy. He stays in Beijing all day to curry favor with people. He¡¯s not even in A City. What does it have to do with you whether I return to the Gu family or not?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me about these useless things. There¡¯s still more than a month before the new year. I¡¯m not busy this month and will stay in A City for a period of time. When you¡¯re free, go back to the Gu family directly or look for me at the city hall.¡± There was indeed something fishy. She was even allowed to enter the city hall. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy about this? ¡°Then I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯m going to take the college entrance examination in half a year. I need to tutor during this winter vacation, so I don¡¯t have time to go back to the Gu family or the city hall.¡± I¡¯m the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the one, the Even re-examining the diagnosis records and all the data from that year, digging up her grave and digging out her ashes, making your mother completely restless after her death!¡± Anhao felt a chill down her spine. When she heard about the fake DNA report, she felt the blood in her body flow backward. When she heard that Gu Tianming actually said that he wanted to dig up her mother¡¯s grave, her face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and cursed, ¡°Gu Tianming! Don¡¯t go too far!¡± ¡°As long as you obediently appear in front of me within half a month, I won¡¯t tell the world what your mother did back then. You can continue to be the daughter of our Gu family.¡± What about continuing to be the daughter of the Gu family? What about her mother¡¯s various practices? What fake appraisal? What false diagnosis? What exactly happened? Anhao¡¯s mind seemed to be flooded with countless crazy bees and butterflies in an instant, and her hand holding the phone could not help but tremble. However, she had been used to being strong and calm in front of Gu Tianming for five years, so she insisted on maintaining an indifferent attitude. She sneered and said, ¡°Mayor Gu is using such a strange method to threaten me. Are you sure you¡¯re still a man?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, Gu Anhao. When Anping forced you into our house five years ago, I knew very well that you weren¡¯t my daughter! Otherwise, why do you think I suddenly barged into your room that night five years ago? I¡¯ve never treated you as my daughter! She knows what your mother has done. Even if she dies, I can make her notorious.. Do you believe that I will do what I say?¡± Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (6) Chapter 285: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (6) Translator: 549690339 Hearing him mention the incident from five years ago, Anhao¡¯s mind went blank. She gripped her phone so tightly that she almost crushed it. She took a deep breath and suppressed her breathing.¡±Why would my mother fall for a shameless person like you back then?¡± ¡°I¡¯m shameless?¡± ¡°Anhao, do you really not know how shameless your mother is?¡± Gu Tianming sneered. Back then, I didn¡¯t manage to find out anything about her. In the end, she died so cleanly. In the end, she forced a child with an unknown identity like you to me. She¡¯s the real shameless one. She let you eat and drink for free in our Gu family for so many years. Now, I¡¯m just asking you to do one thing for me, and you¡¯re so unwilling?¡± Anhao was baffled. Was Gu Tianming lying to her, or was there really something going on? Back then, she was too young, and all the changes had caused her thoughts to undergo a drastic change. She did not understand what everything that had happened in the past represented. However, when she heard Gu Tianming¡¯s words, she felt as if she was frozen from head to toe. Before she could find out what he meant, Anhao frowned and asked, ¡°¡±What exactly do you want me to do?¡± ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just that you¡¯ve been like a loach that no one can catch these past few years. I plan to help you think about your future. Which university should you go to, study abroad, or¡­¡± ¡°Just tell me what your purpose is. Don¡¯t beat around the bush! Did you really think I would believe that you would treat me so well?¡± Gu Tianming immediately sneered.¡± You can come and see me in half a month. You don¡¯t have to get to the bottom of it. But Anhao, you have to remember that there¡¯s an adoption agreement between us. The reason why I didn¡¯t let you register in the Gu family¡¯s household register back then was to keep you in the Gu family under the name of adoption. An Ping thought that she had calculated every step accurately and was sure that I could not reject a child like you, but unfortunately¡­l, Gu Tianming, have been in the officialdom for so many years. If I can¡¯t even deal with a cunning woman, I would have been locked up long ago.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression changed. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Tianming¡¯s voice continued to come from the other end of the phone. ¡°Within half a month, if you don¡¯t show up obediently, you will bear the consequences.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up without giving her any chance to speak. Anhao slowly put down her phone and looked at the darkened screen. All kinds of greetings circled in her mind, and her heart was on tenterhooks. Which of Gu Tianming¡¯s words was true and which was false¡­ Fake DNA test? Was she not Gu Tianming¡¯s daughter? Then whose daughter was she? Anhao had thought that she would be able to calm down as long as she ignored the Gu family. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck her and she almost lost consciousness. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why do you look so pale?¡± When Zuo Hancheng walked out from the front hall, he saw Anhao standing by the flowerbed in a daze. When he walked over, he saw her standing there motionless with a pale face. While Anhao was still in a daze, he raised his hand and gently stroked her hair. Anhao suddenly turned her head to look at him. When she felt the familiar warmth from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body, some color returned to her face. She shook her head gently and said,¡±¡±l¡¯m fine.¡± The usually unreliable little girl suddenly stood there calmly and quietly, saying that she was fine in such a tone. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched, but he did not press her. Instead, his gaze stopped on her face, and then fell on the phone in her hand. He took the phone from her hand and opened it to take a look at the recent call records. Then, his gaze calmly fell on her face again.¡±Gu Tianming?¡± Anhao really did not know how much of Gu Tianming¡¯s words were true and how much of them were fake, so she did not know how to tell Zuo Hancheng. She could only say simply,¡±¡±He asked me to see him at the Gu family or the City Hall. Zuo Hancheng saw the hesitation and concealment in her eyes, but he did not ask further. He only lowered his gaze to look at the little girl who was about to hang her head to her chest.¡±¡±Meet him? It sounds normal, but what¡¯s wrong with your attitude?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see him.¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t see you.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered very quickly. When Anhao raised her head to look at him, he pressed her head into his arms and patted her head gently as if to comfort her.¡±Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re Mrs. Zuo, not the Gu Anhao who used to live alone in the Gu family. You don¡¯t have to force yourself to do things that you don¡¯t want to do. If you have any problems, just look for me.¡¯ Anhao closed her eyes. She had never felt such warmth and dependence before. She even wanted to stay in his arms forever. She used to be nervous and afraid, but the warmth of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace made her feel more and more reluctant. She rubbed her head against his chest childishly and said childishly, ¡®¡±Yes, if you don¡¯t want to do something, then don¡¯t do it. This is the most basic difference between a normal person and a fool. If I have to cross this bottom line, then I¡¯m no different from a fool.¡¯ ¡± It¡¯s good that you know. Don¡¯t do anything that will make me worry. Anhao, you¡¯re no longer a child. I know that you¡¯re very sensible. If there¡¯s anything, you can tell me. Don¡¯t keep it to yourself.¡¯¡±¡® This was one of the most thoughtful words that Zuo Hancheng had ever said to her. However, at this moment, there was nothing more touching than these few words. Anhao felt that her heart was getting more and more uncontrollable. She couldn¡¯t help but reach out to hug his waist and press her head into his embrace.¡± Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯ve never expected to have someone who truly belongs to me by my side, but you¡¯ve always been so good to me. You¡¯ve easily crushed the hard shell that I erected myself. If one day your embrace no longer belongs to me, will I become that child who can¡¯t bear the burden again?¡± Suddenly, she felt a weight on her shoulder. Zuo Hancheng did not hug her back but placed his hand on her shoulder solemnly. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, are you indirectly asking me not to hug someone else?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lifted her chin and looked down at her. His dark eyes were deep and observant, as if he wanted to find the answer to her sudden heavy mood from the fog in her eyes. Anhao¡¯s face turned red and she quickly stuffed her head into his arms again. The heat on her face stuck to his chest and refused to move away. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and hugged her body, which was rarely so proactive.¡±¡±Mrs.. Zuo is much more pleasing to the eye when she¡¯s acting coquettishly than when she¡¯s rude and unreasonable, but¡­Did Zuo Yue give you these earrings?¡± Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (7) Chapter 286: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (7) Translator: 549690339 When she heard him mention her own earrings, Anhao raised her head to look at him. She then raised her hand to touch her ear and asked in confusion,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Is there something wrong?¡± ¡± You¡¯re nineteen, not nine.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± Does she treat you like a nine-year-old?¡± Wearing it on your ears so childishly, are you afraid that you don¡¯t know that you¡¯re young?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? I¡¯ll be twenty years old in a few days. I¡¯m almost twenty. It¡¯s not bad to wear these little earrings to act young¡­¡± Anhao smiled and touched the ear stud on her ear. Anyway, she liked it very much. ¡°It seems like you still don¡¯t have the self-awareness of being Mrs. Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted. ¡°Then, he glanced at her belly.¡±You¡¯re about to be a mother. How long do you want to keep yourself young?¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes.¡± What do you mean by ¡®soon to be a mother¡¯? The pregnancy was fake in the first place. It¡¯s not real!¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng smiled and kissed her ear gently. At the same time, he whispered, ¡°¡±Do you really want one?¡± Anhao blushed and pushed him.¡±¡±l didn¡¯t think about it! I¡¯m still a child myself!¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and did not let her push him away. He only smiled and hugged her in his arms.¡±Are you feeling better now?¡± Anhao calmed down and nodded.¡±¡±lt¡¯s nothing to begin with. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that as long as there¡¯s anything related to the Gu family, I¡¯ll be depressed for the whole day. This time, it¡¯s Gu Tianming who called, so I definitely won¡¯t be in a good mood. But they deliberately made things difficult for me. I can adjust my mood myself. There¡¯s no need to worry about me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite rational when it comes to the Gu family. You know how to adjust your mood. How can you be willful when it comes to Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. His voice sounded like he was questioning her, but it was very gentle. Anhao raised her hands and hugged his neck with a red face. She buried her face in his neck and whispered, ¡°¡±lsn¡¯t that because you always spoil me like this¡­¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s good that you know.¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and smiled. He stroked her hair lovingly.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you go to Zuo Yue¡¯s room just now? Why are you standing outside now?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue has been receiving calls from her friends these few days asking her out. I saw Zuo Yue busy chatting with her friends on the phone, so I came out of her room.¡±Anhao pointed at the flowers in the flowerbed as she said,¡±¡±What kind of flower is that? It¡¯s light blue and so beautiful. Even if it¡¯s not winter in Los Angeles, it¡¯s not warm either. The weather is so cold, but these flowers can still bloom so luxuriously.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the flowers in the parterre and his handsome eyebrows twitched.¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s a type of flower that grandpa discovered when he went to the South Pole with an expedition team. This flower can bloom in both summer and winter, but it only blooms for half a month and withers for half a month. You came just in time.¡± ¡°Ice Blue?¡± Anhao blinked her eyes. Although she had never seen this flower before, she felt that she had heard this name somewhere before. It seemed like¡­ It was a book that she had accidentally found in her mother¡¯s bookshelf when she was very young. A few dried blue flowers had fallen from the book. The flowers had completely dried up, and she could not see their original appearance. She could only vaguely tell that their original color was blue. She was very curious at that time, but her mother suddenly ran in and kept the dried flowers. Anhao asked what they were, and her mother looked at the dried flowers that were put back in the book and said gently, ¡°¡±This is Ice Blue, a rare flower transplanted from a very, very cold place.¡± At that time, Anhao didn¡¯t know where the very, very cold place was, nor did she know about rare flowers. Originally, she didn¡¯t have a very deep memory of this, but when she heard the words Ice Blue, she could actually recall such a small matter. ¡°Is this flower very rare?¡±¡± Seeing that Anhao, who had always liked to spend her days without learning anything, was curious about a flower, Zuo Hancheng looked at the blue flowers and said softly,¡±¡±Yes, it¡¯s very rare. Although it can bloom in summer or cold, it can¡¯t be grown anywhere. There was no place in the world that could grow this kind of flower in large quantities. Even the flowers that the old man transplanted back had to be carefully cultivated for many years before they could finally be cultivated in such a small flowerbed in the Zuo residence. However, there were less than 50 Ice Blues in this flowerbed.¡± ¡°Is it really that rare? Could it be that the old man was the only one in the entire United States who had successfully cultivated these flowers?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the curious child beside him and said softly,¡±¡±There are only two places in the United States that have successfully transplanted and cultivated this flower. One is the Zuo residence, and the other is a like-minded friend who went to the South Pole with my grandfather. However, they live in New York and are also Chinese.¡± ¡°Surname An?¡± Anhao looked up. However, just as she looked up, Father Zuo suddenly walked out of a western-style building not far away. When he saw their figures, he suddenly said, ¡°Hancheng, Shengling¡¯s old company in Los Angeles has recently had a few collaborations and resources with other Zuo¡¯s companies. Do you want to take a look at the data?¡± As soon as Father Zuo¡¯s voice rang out, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng turned around at the same time. Father Zuo was dressed like he was about to go out to the office. He must have seen them when he passed by. Zuo Hancheng pondered for a moment before glancing at Anhao.¡±¡±l¡¯ll go take a look at the data. Don¡¯t go too far.¡± ¡°Where else can I go? I can¡¯t walk out of such a big Zuo residence in an hour.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t want to see you get lost in the Zuo residence. If you get lost in the Zuo residence, Zuo Yue will be the first to laugh her head off.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around with a smile and left without giving Anhao a chance to retort. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was walking in the direction of Father Zuo, Anhao did not want to lose her temper. She could only stare at his back and secretly glare at him. Did she think she was an idiot? Not to mention that this place was only half the size of the Forbidden City, even if it was really as big as the Forbidden City, it would not be lost. There were roads everywhere and servants everywhere. If she really wanted to walk around, she would have walked around long ago. Wasn¡¯t she pretending to be pregnant so she could be lazy with a clear conscience? Zuo Hancheng and his father were discussing the project between Zuo¡¯s Enterprise and Shengling Group. They were father and son at home, but they were the two kings in the business world. It was easy to tell the similarities between the two of them from afar. Anhao looked at it for a while, then turned back to look at the icy blue flower in the flowerbed beside her. For some reason, she thought of another family in America who also planted this kind of flower. That family was Chinese and had the surname An? What a coincidence.. Chapter 287 - Chapter 287: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (8) Chapter 287: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (8) Translator: 549690339 At night, Anhao obediently returned to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom. Zuo Yue had indeed gone out to play with her friends at night and had not returned yet. After Anhao finished showering, she sat on the bed alone and flipped through the magazines that the servant had brought in. There were a few English magazines and two Chinese ones, but they were mostly business magazines, so she wasn¡¯t very interested. After casually flipping through a few pages, he saw some reports describing the Zuo family¡¯s major enterprises and their glorious history in the United States for the past 200 years. Anhao was engrossed in the book when she heard the sound of familiar footsteps coming from outside the door. The footsteps were steady and light, and she knew that Zuo Hancheng had returned. This was the first time the two of them had been in the same room so peacefully at night after their argument in T City. Of course, it was already past ten o¡¯clock in the evening, except for the time when she went to the small bedroom to sleep in his arms in the morning. However, Anhao was not used to jet lag and was not sleepy at all. She was so awake and energetic as she faced Zuo Hancheng. She sat on the bed with a blanket over her legs and quickly raised the magazine in her hand to cover her face. Zuo Hancheng did not come over immediately because she had covered her face and did not know what he was doinz. She only heard him put his coat on the double sofa by the wall and the sound of him changing his shoes. Anhao sneakily moved the magazine away from her face and traced it in that direction. She saw that Zuo Hancheng, who looked very homey, was not looking at her. He was unbuttoning the exquisite and expensive buttons on his sleeves and then unbuttoning the collar of his shirt. When Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng unbuttoning his shirt, she realized that he seemed to be preparing to take a shower. So she did not immediately cover her face with the magazine in her hand and continued to look in his direction secretly. Just as Zuo Hancheng turned his head to look up unexpectedly, and their eyes met, Anhao suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat. She could not speak and could only grin. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have known that she was looking at him. There was not a hint of surprise in his eyes. The moment their eyes met, his lips curled into a faint smile. It was a smile that was seductive, warm, and meaningful. ¡°How long do you plan to watch? Do you want to take a look in the bathroom?¡± Anhao immediately covered her face with the magazine again and pretended not to hear him. However, her eyes darted back and forth, feeling that Zuo Hancheng had returned to the ruffian who always wanted to take advantage of her. Why did he go to the bathroom? She was afraid that she would see a needle mark. Besides, it wasn¡¯t like she hadn¡¯t seen it before. She had already experienced it herself. That painful experience still left her with lingering fear. So, when Zuo Hancheng walked to the bathroom, she put down the magazine, turned over, and lay on the bed, pretending to be dead. She heard the bathroom door open, and soon, the sound of water came from inside. Anhao peeked her head out from under the blanket and peeked in the direction of the bathroom. Then, she smiled slyly. However, just as he finished laughing, the smile on his face suddenly froze and he turned to look in the direction of the bathroom. Motherf * cker! She had washed her panties before she took a shower. The underwear that she had washed was still hanging in front of the mirror in the bathroom. It was such an obvious place! Did Zuo Hancheng already see the underwear that she was wearing inside? Anhao instantly sat up on the bed and ran to the bathroom door. She knocked on the door and said,¡±¡±Hey, if you see something you shouldn¡¯t see, just ignore As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of water continued, and the bathroom door was suddenly opened. She instinctively took a step back, as she had once experienced Anhao being dragged into the bathroom by him. She glared at him, ¡°You¡¯re done already?¡±¡¯ ¡°I thought you were enlightened and were ready to take the initiative to do your duty as Mrs. Zuo. In the end, you suddenly ran to the bathroom door just to explain why it was hanging in front of the mirror?¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he raised his hand and presented Anhao with a small coat and a pair of pink underwear. Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned hot and she almost exploded. She quickly grabbed the book and said with a red face,¡±¡±As someone who has experienced such a painful experience for the first time, I might not be willing to fulfill my responsibility as your wife in this lifetime! Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m only nineteen years old, but I¡¯m already suffering from the illness of being X-cold. It¡¯s all because of you!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up. He looked like a devilish CEO in a novel. Anhao was so shocked that she instinctively took a step back. He suddenly walked out of the bathroom and approached her step by step. She hurriedly retreated.¡± ¡°How is it cold? Let me try.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to try!¡± ¡°The one who tied the bell has to untie it. Since I¡¯m the one who made you so mindful and resistant to the normal ¡®communication of love¡¯ between husband and wife, I should help you cure it.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need you to treat me. Hurry up and go take a shower!¡± Anhao retreated step by step until she reached the side of the sofa. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng approached her. Just as she was about to be pressed down onto the sofa by him, a slight sound came from outside the room. The sound was very strange and made Anhao freeze for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had also sensed that something was wrong. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the door. ¡°What sound?¡± Anhao asked softly as she was pressed against the sofa. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned ugly as he said in a low voice, ¡°¡±There¡¯s the sound of crutches. It¡¯s grandpa.¡± Anhao was shocked.¡± What¡¯s Grandpa doing at the door?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°It¡¯s very simple¡­People of his age, no matter how much they had been in the business world when they were young, were still stubborn.¡±Zuo Hancheng was still leaning on her and said slowly,¡±¡±He should be here to confirm whether our relationship is really very good..¡± Chapter 288 - Chapter 288: Hubbv. Hubbv. You’re the Best (o) Chapter 288: Hubbv. Hubbv. You¡¯re the Best (o) Translator: 549690339 ¡°How can you tell if you¡¯re in a good relationship with the other side of the door?¡±Anhao was confused. Zuo Hancheng looked down at her with a meaningful gaze. Anhao was stunned, but she immediately understood what he meant. She quickly pushed him away, curled up on the sofa, and whispered, ¡°You were the one who told Grandpa that I was pregnant. Since I¡¯m just pregnant, I definitely don¡¯t have to pretend to do that in the room to prove how good our relationship is.¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had thought of this as well. When he was pushed away by her just now, he was pushed away by her smoothly. He took a step back and gathered the towel under him. He snorted but did not say anything. However, judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had shot himself in the foot. Anhao looked at him happily and whispered, ¡°¡±Serves you right.¡± ¡°Call me hubby.¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her smug expression and suddenly spoke. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched and she turned to look at the door. Old Master didn¡¯t seem to have left yet. He couldn¡¯t be planning to stand here for an hour or two, right? This old man was indeed a weirdo. He was indeed not easy to deal with! So Anhao looked up at him and suddenly remembered what Mother Zuo had said to her in the morning. She pretended to be unwilling on the surface, but she was sweet on the inside and called out,¡±¡±Hubby Her voice was not soft and could be heard clearly from outside the door. When she shouted, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s satisfied expression and raised his handsome eyebrows. She smiled and said loudly,¡±Hubby, I just sprained my ankle. Look at you. There¡¯s still shower gel on your shoulder. You ran out in a hurry. Go and continue washing up.¡± Anhao said with an exaggerated expression. At the same time, she looked at Zuo Hancheng with a smile, indicating that she needed his praise. Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and suddenly leaned over again, which gave her a shock. Anhao looked at his face, which was inches away from her, in shock.¡±¡±What do you want now?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, if you¡¯ve already fallen in love with me, just say it.¡± His face was so close to hers that she could hear his breathing. His black eyes locked onto her eyes. The moment Anhao was stunned, he suddenly smiled in a good mood. He patted her face gently before he turned around and went back into the bathroom. Anhao, on the other hand, was staring at the door in a daze. Which eye of his could tell that she was in love with him? How was this possible? She was still an immature girl! Ah, no, she was still a young girl who was not even twenty years old yet! How could she understand love? It was impossible! Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom again, Anhao fell headfirst onto the sofa. She really didn¡¯t want to admit it, but it seemed to be true. Even though she didn¡¯t know how he could tell, her little heart had unknowingly moved closer to him. Unknowingly, she would get jealous, act coquettishly, be angry, mind, be nervous, and be afraid. She would care about everything related to him. But wasn¡¯t there a saying? In love, whoever gets serious first is the passive party. She didn¡¯t want to be the loser in love. However, although Zuo Hancheng treated her very well, she could not be sure if she had given up her weapon and surrendered in this love. Did she get serious first? The old man¡¯s stubbornness shocked even Anhao. Zuo Hancheng did not intend to expose the old man, but Anhao kept tossing and turning in bed, feeling that the old man was listening outside the door. She was afraid that if she were to talk in her sleep or have the habit of grinding her teeth, it would affect her image. Zuo Hancheng had repeatedly guaranteed that she would be very quiet when she slept, but Anhao could not fall asleep. So, Zuo Hancheng got out of bed and walked straight to the door. When he opened the door, the old man was standing outside the door. He did not look shocked at all. Instead, he looked thoughtfully at Zuo Hancheng who suddenly opened the door. ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s almost midnight. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s way of speaking was rarely so direct. ¡± I¡¯m going to sleep. I just couldn¡¯t fall asleep, so I came to see you. But I heard the sound in your room and didn¡¯t knock.¡±¡±Although the old man had been caught, he remained calm and composed. He smiled at Zuo Hancheng and said, ¡°¡±Hancheng, are you going to Shengling Group¡¯s old company in Los Angeles for a meeting in two days? Why don¡¯t you bring Chengxin along?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm, but his eyes were much colder.¡±Grandpa, are you still not going to give up?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so stubborn.¡±Old Master Zuo said,¡± I know that it¡¯s useless to talk about the marriage between Chengxin and you now. Since you insist on keeping Gu Anhao, I won¡¯t force you to do anything. However, Chengxin is innocent in this matter. I hope you can give up on her.¡±¡± After saying this, seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not have any intention of saying anything more about Chengxin, he continued,¡±¡±Chengxin is not young anymore. In a few years, she might take over Cheng Family¡¯s business. As you know, Chengxin¡¯s parents passed away early, and she has been living with Old Cheng. Cheng Family¡¯s business will fall into her hands sooner or later. However, her performance in the business world has not been very outstanding in the past few years. Grandpa hopes that you can take advantage of the days when you return to the United States to take her to the company and study with you for a few days.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm and cold.¡± She has to learn the tricks of the business world. It¡¯s useless to just follow her for a few days. If Grandpa really wants to help her, he can let her follow Dad. I¡¯m only back for a few days. Why should I let her follow me?¡± ¡°Child, do you have to be so heartless? No matter what, Chengxin grew up with you. Even if we¡¯re not childhood childhood friends, we¡¯re old friends. It¡¯s because I always wanted you to marry her, so you don¡¯t have a good impression of her. However, these things were all initiated by Grandpa. I hope you don¡¯t have too many opinions about Chengxin.¡± Since the old man had already put it this way, Zuo Hancheng naturally could not be any more harsh. However, his indifferent expression clearly showed his refusal. ¡°I will bring Anhao to the company these few days. Are you sure Grandpa wants Chengxin to follow us? The old man didn¡¯t expect him to let Gu Anhao go to the company with him. He frowned.¡±What does Gu Anhao know? She doesn¡¯t have any foundation in business management, and you¡¯re bringing her to the company?¡± ¡°She¡¯s my wife, not a business marriage partner, and she doesn¡¯t have to be the heir of any company. It doesn¡¯t make any difference whether she knows how to manage business or not.¡¯¡±¡® If you don¡¯t want Chengxin to be wronged and hurt like you think,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly,¡± try not to let her appear in front of Anhao again. Keep the safest distance between the two of them. This is true love..¡± Chapter 289 - Chapter 289: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (10) Chapter 289: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (10) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Grandpa is getting old. Is it your turn to educate me now?¡± Old Master Zuo snorted. ¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled calmly and said, just don¡¯t want Grandpa to be sad.¡± ¡°Hmph, you really put it nicely. You don¡¯t want me to be sad¡­¡± The old man placed both hands on his walking stick. After looking at him for a while, he sighed and said, ¡°If you didn¡¯t want me to be sad, why did you leave just like that back then! It you don¡¯t want me to be sad, why don¡¯t you marry Chengxin and insist on marrying such a little girl of unknown origin? Hancheng, you¡¯re deliberately going against this old man!¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped talking and looked at the old man outside the door calmly. The old man looked at the time. After standing for a while, he suddenly shook his head and turned to leave. The topic about Chengxin did not continue, but it was obvious that there was too much unwillingness and displeasure. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes turned cold as he watched the old man¡¯s back leave. He turned around and saw Gu Anhao, who had already fallen asleep. As she slept, she raised her hand to scratch her forehead, then turned over and continued sleeping. The next day, because Chengxin didn¡¯t come today, Anhao experienced a day of peace in the Zuo family. No one deliberately came to cause trouble for her. Although Old Master Zuo and Butler Chen were still indifferent when they saw her, at least the others were still warm and thoughtful to her. Especially Mother Zuo, because Father Zuo was usually very busy and Mother Zuo often went to the company. It was said that Mother Zuo was also a high-level manager in the Zuo Corporation, but she was not as important as Father Zuo. Anhao didn¡¯t expect Mother Zuo to be a female elite in the business world at her age. More importantly, she was actually so kind and funny in private. Therefore, An Hao became more and more open in front of Mother Zuo. She was no longer so reserved. She even pulled Mother Zuo to chat and chatted with her. Anyway, no matter what Mother Zuo heard, she would laugh and chat with her to find common topics. Anhao felt that she had been able to meet a mother-in-law like Mother Zuo in this lifetime. She really wanted to accumulate all the good fortune she had lacked in the past few years. ¡°Anhao, you¡¯re pregnant. Eat more apples, bananas, and other things. You should eat less cool fruits like watermelon, or else your body will feel uncomfortable.¡¯ Just as Anhao was about to eat the watermelon on the coffee table, Mrs. Zuo took the watermelon away from her with a gentle smile and stuffed an apple into her mouth.¡±¡±Eat more nutritious food.¡¯ Even though Mother Zuo was very nice to her, she was also very attentive to her food. When Anhao was thirsty, she wouldn¡¯t let her drink water at room temperature or iced water. Instead, she insisted that Aunt Wang boil some water for her to cool it down before she drank it. It wasn¡¯t bad to be so meticulous, but Anhao was so pampered that she almost forgot who she was. There were a few times when she really wanted to lean into Mother Zuo¡¯s arms and call her ¡°Mom¡± a few more times, but she suppressed this urge. Mother Zuo would definitely be shocked if she suddenly said such sentimental words. Anhao could only chat happily with Mother Zuo while eating the fruit that Mother Zuo insisted on for her. When everyone was eating together, Old Master Xiang didn¡¯t deliberately mention those unpleasant things because Cheng Xin wasn¡¯t present today, but he didn¡¯t talk to Anhao. During dinner, everyone chatted while eating. Anhao suddenly took the initiative to sit beside the old man, which shocked everyone. Zuo Hancheng was the only one who saw her actions and knew that this girl was planning to take the initiative to attack. He did not stop her and only smiled faintly. ¡°Why are you sitting here? Do you think you¡¯re not an eyesore enough?¡± The old man glared at Anhao with an ugly expression. He was very unhappy. ¡°Grandpa, the ice blue in the courtyard is really beautiful. You can actually transplant such a difficult to raise flower here.¡±Anhao, on the other hand, cut straight to the point. The old man glanced at her and snorted coldly. ¡°You actually know Ice Blue?¡± Anhao stole a glance in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Seeing that he was calmly drinking his tea and had no intention of exposing her, she continued to smile and say,¡¯¡±¡®Of course, I heard that this flower only blooms in Antarctica. Very few people in the world can see the true appearance of this flower. But Grandpa, you¡¯re really amazing. You can actually raise this flower in the United States and it¡¯s blooming so luxuriously.¡± ¡® Grandpa, you were so serious when I first came to the Zuo family. At first, I really thought that you didn¡¯t get along with me, so I didn¡¯t dare to say much to you. However, after seeing the Ice Blue yesterday, I couldn¡¯t express my admiration for you with words. Today, I was nervous for a whole day before I finally mustered up the courage to talk to you¡­¡± The old man continued to snort coldly.¡± Little girl, don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t see through your shrewdness. You¡¯re just trying to find a topic to coax me. Han Cheng told you about the Ice Blue, right?¡± Not only did Anhao not panic after being exposed, she even smiled and said, ¡®¡±¡®No, Grandpa, I really did look up information about Ice Blue before. Don¡¯t look down on my age, I¡¯m very curious about the mystery of Ice Blue. I even know that this flower is suitable to be used as a bookmark after it withers. Even if it withers, you can still smell the faint fragrance of the flower when you put it in a book!¡± After hearing Anhao¡¯s words, the old man seemed to barely believe her. His eyes fell on her and finally looked at her properly. Then, he said coldly,¡±You actually know about something like a lingering fragrance after withering?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandpa. I told you that I¡¯ve done some research on this flower. You still don¡¯t believe me?¡±Anhao smiled, and at the same time, she used the clean chopsticks beside her to pick up a few pieces of steamed pork ribs and placed them in the bowl in front of Grandpa Shen.¡±¡±Grandpa, you¡¯re getting on in years. Eat less hard food and more food that¡¯s good for digestion and good for vour teeth. Chinese food is indeed more suitable for vou than American food. If you like to eat anything, I¡¯ll learn to make it for you. If you have the chance to go to China in the future, I¡¯ll play the role of Aunt Wang to satisfy your appetite, okay?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a three-year-old kid?¡± Say a few nice words and I¡¯ll like you?¡± Old Master Zuo¡¯s splash of cold water was cruel and heartless. Anhao, on the other hand, was thick-skinned and had an indifferent expression on her face.¡±But Grandpa, I¡¯m already your granddaughter-in-law. You can¡¯t keep thinking about pushing me away every day.. While I¡¯m still your legitimate granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa, can you put down your prejudice a little and give me a chance to be filial to you?¡± Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (11) Chapter 290: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (11) Translator: 549690339 The old man didn¡¯t say anything, but Anhao felt that there was a reason for this, so she looked into the old man¡¯s eyes with a smile. Anyone would feel embarrassed after being stared at by another person with such an innocent and fawning gaze for a long time. However, the old man only took a few glances at her expression. He could clearly see that this girl was trying to consolidate her position in the Zuo family. He should hate her deliberate behavior. However, sitting so close to her and being stared at by Gu Anhao, it seemed like this was the first time the old man had seen her face and eyebrows so seriously in the past few days. He felt that something was vaguely familiar, whether it was the expression between her eyebrows or the temperament that she exuded unintentionally or something else. In short, it was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Hence, the disgust that he should have felt inexplicably turned into a faint relief. However, he still ignored her with a cold expression. He only picked up the chopsticks and picked up the ribs in the bowl in front of him and took two bites. Seeing that the old man was willing to eat the food that she had picked up, Anhao knew that she had already taken a step towards victory. She immediately revealed a happy expression on her face and secretly made a V-shaped gesture in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Zuo Hancheng was drinking tea. When he saw her, his lips curled up and his eyes were filled with admiration. However, Anhao¡¯s V-shaped hand gesture was seen by the old man. The old man glanced at her indifferently and reprimanded, ¡°You¡¯re indeed young and childish. ¡± Anhao quickly put down her hand and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment at the old man. She said sincerely,¡±No matter what, Grandpa has already forgiven me for being insensible before. I¡¯m grateful and happy that Grandpa is so magnanimous, so I couldn¡¯t suppress my emotions for a moment.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t realize two days ago that your mouth is so sharp. Since he was so talkative, what happened a few days ago? Did a cat take his tongue away?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly interrupted from the side.¡± Grandpa, you are an old cat. Sister-in-law is a kitten. This kitten will be afraid when it sees an old cat. This is its instinct, okay?¡± ¡°Eat your food. You¡¯re everywhere. I haven¡¯t taken the time to educate you yet. The older you get, the more insensible you become. Why didn¡¯t you take the initiative to talk to Chengxin when she was here? This Gu Anhao had been with her, yet she was always by her side like a conjoined twin.¡±The old man scolded Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue immediately put down her chopsticks and said, ¡°Can we not cut the core?¡± Chengxin mentioned her when she was here, and you still mentioned her when she¡¯s not here. Is this the Zuo family or the Cheng family? Grandpa, you¡¯re too biased!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Alright, say less.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had not said anything, Father Zuo understood that Zuo Hancheng must have known what was going on today. Anhao must have thought about how to establish herself in the Zuo family. If he did not say anything, the peace that had just been restored would be broken again. ¡°Zuo Yue, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Of course, this is the Zuo family, but Grandpa is the head of the family. You¡¯ve been spoiled since you were young, so why are you so rude to Grandpa?¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips after being lectured by her father. Although Zuo Yue was not convinced, she did not continue to speak. She turned to look at Anhao and suddenly smiled.¡±Sister-in-law, I heard that your birthday is coming soon, right? You can stay in America for your birthday.¡± ¡°Really? Anhao¡¯s birthday is coming soon?¡± Mother Zuo also asked in surprise. When the old man heard these words, he did not want to dampen everyone¡¯s spirits. He only looked coldly at Gu Anhao, who was sitting beside him and refused to leave. He shook her away and suddenly said,¡±¡±Give me a bowl of fish soup.¡± Anhao immediately ignored everyone¡¯s questions and turned to look at Grandpa Shen. Seeing that the old man¡¯s expression was still not good, she was happy in her heart. After responding, she got up and picked up a bowl to scoop some fish soup. However, that fish soup was the last dish that Aunt Wang had just taken out from the kitchen, and it was still very hot. Some of the scalding water splashed onto the back of Anhao¡¯s hand and a few red spots appeared. She endured the pain and placed the bowl in front of Grandpa Shen as if she was not interested.¡±Grandpa, fish soup.¡± The old man glanced at the few red patches on the back of her hand. Seeing tnat It was not very serious, ne ala not cnange ms attituae ana onw snortea coldly. Zuo Hancheng continued to drink his tea calmly, as if he would not stop Anhao no matter what she did now, nor would he interrupt when the old man and Anhao had just eased up. However, he glanced at Anhao¡¯s scalded hand. After putting down the teacup, he didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he threw a faint glance at his mother. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, received his gaze and immediately reacted. She quickly smiled and said, ¡°Dad, look at how filial this child is. Moreover, she¡¯s not delicate. The back of her hand is red from the heat, but she didn¡¯t make a sound.¡± ¡°Who knows if it¡¯s a trick to hurt yourself? You¡¯re so clumsy. You even scalded your hand after scooping a bowl of soup. You¡¯re deliberately putting on an act in front of this old man.¡±Old Master Zuo had a calm expression on his face, as if he did not care. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just put her hand down and didn¡¯t let anyone see it. It was indeed just scalded by the hot soup, but it wasn¡¯t serious. ¡°Grandpa, your words are really chilling. It seems that my brother has really been hurt by you now, so no matter what you say, he won¡¯t refute or be willing to pay attention to you. Look at what you¡¯re saying.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly muttered softly. The old man glanced at Zuo Yue and then at Zuo Hancheng, who was drinking his tea calmly without saying a word. Then, Grandpa Shen suddenly glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±Go back and apply some burn medicine on the back of your hand. Otherwise, just a few red spots will make everyone think that I¡¯m cold-blooded and heartless.¡± ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯re cold-blooded and heartless.¡±Zuo Yue interrupted. ¡°Zuo Yue, shut up.¡± Father Zuo reprimanded. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother looked at Zuo Hancheng and saw that his eyes were calm, as if he really did not care about the old man¡¯s affairs at all. No matter what the old man said or expressed his stance, he had never agreed or actively participated. This kind of indifference was indeed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personality. However, he had been very filial to the old master in the past and had never been like this. It seemed that Zuo Yue was right. The old man had gone too far. Han Cheng had completely ignored the old man¡¯s words and decisions. However, Han Cheng did not say anything to stop Anhao¡¯s actions. Obviously, Gu Anhao was the only person who could make the relationship between Han City and the old master really warm up. He just didn¡¯t know if this girl had the ability to do so.. Chapter 291 - Chapter 291: Hubby, Hubby, You’re the Best (12) Chapter 291: Hubby, Hubby, You¡¯re the Best (12) Translator: 549690339 After dinner, Xu Yuan was planning to have a chat with Anhao. At first, she did not realize what Zuo Hancheng¡¯s plan was for coming back this time. She thought that he was simply bringing Anhao back to visit the old man. But now, it seemed that it was not that simple. Hancheng Hancheng no longer treated the old man the same way he did before. This was related to the future of the Zuo family and the succession of the Zuo family. Although Xu Yuan and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s father did not pay much attention to this matter, they still felt that it was necessary for An Hao to play a key role in this. However, Anhao had already returned to her room with Zuo Hancheng. The young couple had already returned to their room, so Xu Yuan could only do it for the time being. However, when she saw the color of the light in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom from outside, she suddenly felt that Anhao¡¯s existence might not necessarily be a crack in the Zuo family. On the contrary, that eccentric girl might slowly become a key point in the Zuo family. Han Cheng¡¯s judgment was not wrong. Since he had made up his mind, he must have his reasons. The next day, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng left the Zuo family home together and were about to board the car to the old company of Shengling Group in Los Angeles. However, when the two of them walked out of the Zuo family¡¯s house, they saw that there was another car beside their car. It seemed to have been parked there for a while. Seeing the two of them walk out, the back door of the car was opened. Chengxin got out of the car and smiled sweetly at the two of them.¡± Hancheng, Miss Gu.¡± The moment she saw Chengxin, Anhao didn¡¯t look surprised. When she greeted her, Anhao smiled naturally without any stage fright. However, when Zuo Hancheng saw Uncle Chen beside the car, he did not need to ask to know that this was the old man¡¯s intention. Anhao also saw Uncle Chen and seemed to have understood something, but she still took the initiative to hold Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm. When Chengxin¡¯s gaze fell on her hand, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Miss Cheng return to the Cheng family yesterday? I heard that although the Cheng family is also in Los Angeles, it takes two hours to drive back and forth. You¡¯re really not afraid of running around. If it were me, I would definitely sleep at home for a few days before considering going out.¡± Good words don¡¯t sound good, Cheng Xin¡¯s face of course won¡¯t look too good, but because of the housekeeper Chen Shu beside him, Cheng Xin also doesn¡¯t say anything, just a smile on her face and say: ¡± Miss Gu, laziness is not in my nature. Besides, it was my grandfather and Grandpa Zuo who decided to let me go to the company with Hancheng for an inspection and learn from him. This is a business matter, not a private matter. I can¡¯t delay it.¡± ¡°Oh, so it¡¯s business.¡± Anhao smiled and said,¡± It turns out that Miss Cheng doesn¡¯t take the initiative to learn these business skills. She only planned to learn them after my husband returned to the United States, and she wanted to learn them from my husband. I didn¡¯t know that my husband was so arrogant that he could let you learn these skills in two or three days.¡±¡® Chengxin was rendered speechless by Anhao¡¯s words. She could only put on a slightly cold expression. However, when Zuo Hancheng looked at her, she immediately smiled again. However, her smile was not very natural. There was a hint of grievance in her expression. ¡°I¡¯m not going to the company for an inspection. I¡¯m going to a meeting. It¡¯s not convenient for me to bring you.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. ¡°But didn¡¯t you bring Miss Gu along? Miss Gu hasn¡¯t even graduated from high school yet, but she can still go with you. I¡¯m a graduate of business management and have a family¡­¡± ¡°Anhao has nothing to do with these things. I just don¡¯t want her to be bored in the Zuo family, so I brought her to the company for a walk. ¡± As for you, Miss Cheng, if you really want to learn something and Cheng¡¯s company can¡¯t meet your needs, you can learn from my father. He¡¯s in the United States all year round and will definitely be able to guide you well.¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Butler Chen said,¡±Mr. Zuo, Mr. Grandpa, Mr. Chen, Mr. Driver, Ms. Cheng, Mr. Cheng, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Ms. Cheng, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr. Manager, Mr Manager, Mr. Manager,¡± Uncle Chen was helping Chengxin take a step back, but it was a way to advance by taking a step back. Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but his eyes had already told him his answer. Of course he didn¡¯t agree. However, Anhao suddenly spoke first,¡¯¡±¡®Sure, sure. Since Miss Cheng is going to my husband¡¯s company for business, what¡¯s the big deal? If you want to go, then let¡¯s go together. At most, we can just treat Shengling Group as a park and walk around. Let¡¯s form a sightseeing group, okay?¡± Anhao¡¯s words successfully made Chengxin¡¯s expression drop by another degree. Even Uncle Chen did not expect that this little girl who did not speak much a few days ago would be so sharp-tongued. ¡°Miss Gu, this is Old Master¡¯s idea. Old Master just wants Miss Cheng to study. ¡°Uncle Chen said. Anhao shrugged.¡± I don¡¯t mind. I¡¯m going sightseeing anyway.¡¯¡±¡® After saying that, she held Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm and leaned against him. She said sweetly, ¡®¡±¡® Hubby, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go.¡±¡® As she said that, she tugged on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm, implying that Chengxin could go with him if she wanted to. After all, she wouldn¡¯t be at a disadvantage. Besides, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude was right here, so she certainly wouldn¡¯t be jealous. Seeing that Anhao had started to cause trouble, Zuo Hancheng knew that she must have some evil idea. However, it was obvious that he didn¡¯t want Chengxin¡¯s matter to have anything to do with them anymore, so he still didn¡¯t seem to agree to let Chengxin go with them. Anhao suddenly held her stomach and said,¡± Aiya, I¡¯ve been standing for too long. My stomach hurts a little. Hubby, help me take a look. Is the baby unhappy? Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and glanced at her. He saw that she was clutching her stomach and putting on an act. In the end, he sent her to the car. When Anhao got into the car, she raised her head and whispered in a voice that only he could hear,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you serious between us?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng, who had always been a schemer, did not expect her to suddenly say such a thing at this time. He immediately glanced at her. Anhao tilted her head and stared at him, waiting for his answer. Until he reached his hand out to caress her head with a smile and said gently, ¡°¡±l¡¯m very serious. You¡¯ve always been the one who hasn¡¯t been serious.¡± Hearing this, Anhao¡¯s heart calmed down and she immediately said, ¡®¡±¡® Since you¡¯re serious, Zuo Hancheng, from now on, I¡¯ll beat up all the mistresses for you..¡± Chapter 292 - Chapter 292: You ‘re Mine Tonight (1) Chapter 292: You ¡®re Mine Tonight (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡® Since you¡¯re serious, Zuo Hancheng, from now on, I¡¯ll beat up all the mistresses for you.¡± Anhao said confidently. Zuo Hancheng looked at her determined expression and did not say anything. Anhao was a little scared by her gaze and could not help but say,¡±You still have the last minute to regret.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly laughed and caressed her head lovingly. Then, he glanced at Chengxin who was outside the car.¡±Can you handle it?¡± ¡°Of course, you can¡¯t be too ruthless because of Grandpa and the feelings we grew up together when we were young. However, I¡¯m your wife. I¡¯m someone who always wants to get close to my husband. No matter how I treat her, it¡¯s not wrong.¡± Seeing that Anhao was so confident, Zuo Hancheng followed her and did not deliberately stop Chengxin from following her. When the car drove to the old headquarters of Shengling Group in Los Angeles, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng sat in the back of the car. The chauffeur was sent by the Zuo family, but he was very honest and quiet. Anhao would occasionally turn around to look at the car behind them. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, ¡°Is it that no matter what Grandpa wants to do, Uncle Chen will try his best to help Grandpa do it?¡± ¡°More or less.¡± Zuo Hancheng replied. Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± If that¡¯s the case, if I do anything to Chengxin in front of Uncle Chen today, Uncle Chen will definitely report it to the old man. Then, the old man will continue to hate me.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if Chengxin¡¯s skills are better or Old Master¡¯s.¡±Anhao clicked her tongue and said,¡± Obviously, we didn¡¯t intend to let her be left behind by us today. Since the old man has already paved the way for Chengxin, we can just take it and see what she wants to do.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡± It seems that you are indeed bored. The Old Master¡¯s arrangement for you to come here has become the only way to relieve your boredom.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Of course. It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen my combat strength.¡±Anhao giggled as she leaned her head on his shoulder and said with a look of enjoyment, ¡°¡±Actually, I should have thought about it a long time ago. There will definitely be many women who want to stand by your side and climb into your bed. I wonder if there are any other women who need me to fight other than Rongxue and Chengxin.¡± ¡°Are you trying to sound me out?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Gu Anhao, who was leaning her head on his shoulder affectionately. Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and suddenly put his arm around Anhao¡¯s shoulder. He leaned over and kissed her on the hairline.¡±There are indeed many women who want to climb into my bed, but you¡¯re the only one who avoided me like a viper.¡± Anhao immediately raised her head and glared at him.¡±¡±This is called self-awareness. Before I¡¯m sure of your attitude, I wouldn¡¯t dare to take this step forward. But now that you¡¯ve said that I¡¯ll only be Mrs. Zuo, if I continue to act coquettishly, no one will be able to stand it anymore.¡± As she spoke, Anhao suddenly took the initiative to put her hands on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulders and looked at him with a coquettish expression.¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, congratulations on winning Mrs. Zuo¡¯s heart. I¡¯ll reward you with a little red flower later.¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s more practical to reward him with a kiss?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled gently and pulled her into his arms as he spoke. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss her. Anhao quickly pointed at the driver who was driving in front.¡±¡±Even if this driver is a foreigner and can¡¯t fully understand what we¡¯re saying, isn¡¯t it a little too much to show off your love in front of him.. Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already pressed his lips against hers. However, he knew that although she usually looked rather thick-skinned, she was very thin-skinned in this kind of situation. Therefore, he gave her face and only kissed her before letting her go. Then, he rubbed her hair and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you owe me for the time being, and I¡¯ll make up for it later.¡± Hearing the words ¡± double the compensation Anhao immediately turned to look at him. Her eyes were clearly rejecting him, but her face was quite honest and secretly blushed. Zuo Hancheng seemed to be in a good mood. He held her hand firmly in his palm, and his slender and well-defined fingers gently rubbed against her fingers. It made her feel warm and flirtatious. However, when he placed it on Anhao, it made her heart itch. In the car behind the high-end commercial car, Cheng Xin sat in the front passenger seat. She kept looking at the car in front, but she couldn¡¯t see what was inside. However, it was not that she could not feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s disregard and cold tolerance towards her. However, she was certain that no matter how loving Gu Anhao and him seemed, Gu Anhao would never be able to easily enter Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart. As long as there was a chance, she would not let it go. Ever since she was young, her only dream was to marry Zuo Hancheng. She had waited for so long and she firmly believed that she would be able to wait. The car stopped at a bustling area in downtown Los Angeles. When Anhao got out of the car with Zuo Hancheng, she thought that they could take a stroll around the area. After all, she really came here purely for sightseeing. However, when she got out of the car, she saw a few people in black suits walking over. There were Chinese and foreigners, but they all looked like high-ranking elites in the company. Each of them looked very high-spirited. They walked over and respectfully shook hands with Zuo Hancheng. Anhao did not know much about the etiquette of the American business world, so she walked quietly beside Zuo Hancheng. Those people obviously only noticed Zuo Hancheng and talked to him about the company¡¯s matters in English. Then, they only nodded politely at Anhao. It was not until they followed Zuo Hancheng all the way to the so-called old site of Shengling Group that Anhao¡¯s impression of the old site was instantly shattered. Old site. These two words made people think of those old buildings. However, the former headquarters of Shengling Group in front of him was magnificent. It was like a scenic spot on the bustling streets of Los Angeles. It was not surprising. After all, this was the former headquarters of Shengling Group. However, Gu Anhao¡¯s impression of Zuo Hancheng had improved a little. There were too many sides to this man that she did not understand. His gentleness or his danger, his calmness or his tyranny, or perhaps, everything about him in the business world, she was deeply attached and worshipped. Just as she was about to follow them into the magnificent building, Chengxin suddenly walked past her and glanced at Anhao. Chengxin¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with disdain for Anhao¡¯s shocked expression when she stopped there just now. She silently mocked her for not seeing the world.. Chapter 293 - Chapter 293: You’re Mine Tonight (2) Chapter 293: You¡¯re Mine Tonight (2) Translator: 549690339 Aiyoh. Was Miss Cheng showing off her superiority as a Chinese socialite? She was standing here in surprise, yet she was still being mocked by her eyes! Anhao glanced at Chengxin¡¯s expression and saw that she only gave her a faint glance before walking in with Uncle Chen. After realizing that she was left alone, Anhao quickly followed her. As soon as she walked in, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had stopped and turned around to look in her direction. He was obviously waiting for her. This time, the men in suits who were respectfully following behind him seemed to have noticed Gu Anhao¡¯s presence and realized that her relationship with Zuo Hancheng was not ordinary. Although there was very little gossip between men, and they would not deliberately emphasize her identity in the company, those people were all elites in the business world. One action and one look from the big BOSS was enough to make them instantly understand that this was a little ancestor and definitely could not be provoked. Chengxin, who had a sense of superiority just now, saw that Zuo Hancheng had stopped in his tracks and was waiting for Gu Anhao. She quickly walked up and made an expression as if Zuo Hancheng had also waited for her for a while.¡±Hancheng, do you have a few urgent meetings today? There¡¯s no need to wait for us. Uncle Chen and I will just walk around the company.¡± Zuo Hancheng only glanced at Chengxin before his eyes swept over Anhao, who was walking behind her. ¡°There is a regular meeting in a minute. Several international partners want to discuss the cooperation plan. The first meeting may take more than three to four hours. You go to the rest room first.¡± ¡± It¡¯s been a long meeting.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Do you have a lot of meetings today?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°At least three matches.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were filled with a hint of comfort for her.¡±lf you¡¯re really bored, just sit in a nearby cafe, or I¡¯ll send someone¡­¡± ¡°No need. Such a big company is enough for me to shop around for a day. I¡¯ll think of a way to relieve myself. You can go to your meeting. I¡¯m here to tour your company, not to drag you down.¡± As she said that, Anhao waved her hand nonchalantly and turned to look at a young female staff member beside her. Seeing that she was Asian, she walked over and asked,¡¯¡±¡®Can you speak Chinese?¡± The young female staff member smiled and said,¡±¡±Hello, Miss. What do you need?¡± ¡°If you can speak Chinese, then it¡¯s easy. Your Boss Zuo is going to a meeting, so you can accompany me around the company.¡± The female staff was stunned for a moment and turned to look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Seeing Zuo Hancheng nod his head slightly, he immediately said enthusiastically,¡±¡±Good, Miss,¡± Cheng Xin, who was completely ignored, suddenly interrupted, ¡°Why don¡¯t you let Anhao follow Uncle Chen and me¡­ ¡°No need. As long as she¡¯s happy.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at Chengxin before turning around and entering the elevator. Chengxin stood rooted to the ground, looking a little embarrassed. In the blink of an eye, she saw Gu Anhao, who looked like she had never seen the world, swaggering to the elevator on the other side with the female staff. She immediately turned to look at Uncle Chen angrily. Uncle Chen smiled at Cheng Xin. Although the old man had sent him to take care of Miss Cheng, these things were not something that a butler like him could really participate in. All he could do was do his part. Therefore, when he received Chengxin¡¯s pleading gaze, Uncle Chen could only smile and say,¡±Miss Cheng, do you want to rest for a while or walk around the company? I can take you to the various subordinate departments of the company to understand the internal work chain of Shengling Group.¡± Zuo Hancheng really did not intend to pay attention to her at all, so it was not appropriate for Chengxin to intervene. Besides, he was preparing to go to a meeting now, so she could not follow him all the time. An important meeting like this was not something she, who had nothing to do with the company, could attend. Thus, Chengxin stood on the spot for a while and said softly, ¡°¡±Uncle Chen, my grandfather has always felt that the e-commerce of the Zuo family¡¯s companies is very good. He has always wanted to send people to learn from them, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.¡± Uncle Chen nodded. After saying that, Chengxin turned to look in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction. When she saw that Gu Anhao¡¯s elevator had already gone up, she looked away, but her eyes were filled with unwillingness. Anhao walked around the company for a long time. It had been more than two hours since she saw the time. She did not know how long it would take for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s long meeting to end. It was too tiring to walk, so Anhao decided to wait quietly in the lounge near the conference room on the top floor. The female staff member who had been showing her around the building was a foreign student who had just graduated from America a few years ago. Her nationality was Chinese and her family was also from City A. Coincidentally, Anhao chatted with her about a lot of things. When they were resting in the lounge, she even prepared a lot of fruits and refreshments for Anhao. In the end, she left because she had something to do. Anhao sat in the lounge and ate some fruit while reading a magazine on the coffee table. Although it was in English, there were some pictures of buildings on various bustling streets in the United States. She gradually became fascinated. In the corridor outside the lounge, Chengxin was already tired. When Gu Anhao went up to this floor, Chengxin, who was in a nearby office, saw Gu Anhao and knew that she was in the lounge. Before Chengxin walked over, she suddenly turned around and said to Uncle Chen,¡¯¡±¡®Uncle Chen, I want to drink the coffee on the opposite street. Magic cards are fine. Please buy me a cup.¡± Uncle Chen looked at the time.¡± ¡± Yeah, I¡¯m a little tired from the walk just now, so I wanted to have some coffee to refresh myself. I¡¯m here to study anyway, and if I¡¯m too tired halfway, Hancheng City will think I¡¯m useless.¡±¡® Uncle Chen nodded.¡± It was not until Uncle Chen left that Chengxin turned to look at the lounge not far away and slowly walked over. Anhao was in the lounge, eating a piece of chocolate cake that the staff had brought to her. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and saw Chengxin walking to the door. Anhao paused for a moment. Although she was disgusted with her, her gaze did not change. She only lowered her head indifferently and ate her chocolate pastries. ¡°Didn¡¯t Miss Gu just get pregnant? There were a lot of things that women needed to pay attention to when they were just pregnant.¡± Chengxin¡¯s words suddenly came over. Anhao¡¯s hand only paused for a moment before she continued to eat the pastries in her hand. She said indifferently,¡±¡±Eating a little less won¡¯t affect anything. Miss Cheng, there¡¯s no need to make such a fuss. This is high-calories food. Eating a few mouthfuls will only make me fat..¡± Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: You ‘re Mine Tonight (3) Chapter 294: You ¡®re Mine Tonight (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Miss Gu, you don¡¯t have common sense. It¡¯s better to eat less of this kind of thing. Besides, you¡¯re just pregnant.¡± Chengxin pressed the words ¡± just pregnant ¡± a little slowly, but Anhao looked at her with a natural expression and said with a smile,¡±¡±l heard that when a woman is pregnant, she¡¯ll almost lose her mind when she¡¯s hungry, so it¡¯s fine even if I secretly eat a few mouthfuls.¡± Seeing that she couldn¡¯t get anything out of him, Chengxin walked in and sat on the sofa opposite Anhao.¡±¡±Miss Gu, you¡¯ve just gotten pregnant and you¡¯re already walking around so frequently. As far as I know, you walked around the company for more than two hours before sitting down to rest.¡± ¡°My husband said that walking more is good for the body. This is considered exercise for the baby.¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows. Chengxin was speechless for a moment. She just smiled and put down her handbag. She sat on the sofa and looked at her quietly without saying anything. Anhao ate the pastries calmly, but she muttered in her heart. What a joke. Since she was prepared to fight, she would naturally be fully prepared. Wasn¡¯t it just something to take note of during pregnancy? He could find a lot of information by simply checking the website. He could get a general idea in half an hour. Therefore, it was too easy to deal with Chengxin¡¯s shallow probing. ¡°I¡¯m very curious. I heard that Miss Gu hasn¡¯t even graduated from high school yet, and she¡¯s already married to Hancheng. I don¡¯t know much about Chinese laws, but in this era, girls get married before they¡¯re even twenty years old. Don¡¯t tell me your parents don¡¯t care about you?¡± ¡°My mother is no longer alive. My father has other wives and children. Usually, no one cares about me. How can my family background compare to yours, Miss Cheng? Even if your parents are gone, you still have Grandpa to love you. ¡°Anhao answered honestly. ¡°No wonder.¡± Cheng Xin smiled.¡± So you¡¯re a wild child who has no one to discipline you. No wonder you did such a thing at such a young age.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao took a bite of the pastry as if she didn¡¯t understand. She looked up and asked with a smile,¡±¡±What kind of thing did I do?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t even graduated from high school yet, and you¡¯re already seducing a man like Hancheng who¡¯s outstanding in all aspects.¡±Cheng Xin also said with a smile. Very good. It was obvious that Chengxin had come prepared. The horn of war could finally be sounded. Finally, there was no need to be so polite like a scheming palace. Anhao smiled as she patted the pastry residue on her hands.¡±lt seems that Miss Cheng wants to know about the things between my husband and me and our experiences before we got married. It¡¯s just that her tone and way of speaking are not quite right, right?¡± Cheng Xin didn¡¯t expect Gu Anhao to give her a way out, but she didn¡¯t buy it. She just laughed coldly,¡±¡±You¡¯re so young. What other mature things can you do? I heard that you two just got married not long ago, so did you lie to him by faking your pregnancy?¡± ¡°Fake pregnancy?¡± ¡°Do you think this is a TV drama?¡± Anhao laughed. You can fake it just because you say so?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether you¡¯ve used this method to fake things in the past. Let¡¯s just talk about now. If Miss Gu is honest and upright, why don¡¯t I accompany you to the hospital for a prenatal checkup?¡± ¡°My husband should be the one accompanying me for a prenatal checkup. What¡¯s the point of you accompanying me? Do I have a good relationship with you?¡± Anhao smiled. ¡°You¡¯re feeling guilty.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Anhao picked up two grapes from the fruit platter and ate them. She calmly leaned back on the sofa and said,¡±¡±My husband just accompanied me for a checkup a few days ago. Even if I should be checked on time after I¡¯m pregnant, it doesn¡¯t seem to be good for the baby if I go for checkups too frequently. Those checkups are all radioactive. Besides, do I have to ask the doctor to give me a needle for a blood test? Besides, why should I suffer this pain just to make you believe me? Is there a need for this? It doesn¡¯t matter to me whether you believe it or not.¡± Chengxin¡¯s expression changed, but she snorted and laughed.¡±Gu Anhao, in the Zuo family, Han City protected you. I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for everyone. In fact, if I want you to leave Han City, I have thousands of ways.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Oh, I¡¯ve seen a very direct method before. Someone gave me a blank check. Are you planning to do the same, Miss Cheng?¡± It just so happens that I regret not accepting other people¡¯s checks back then. If you want to give it to me now, please hurry up.¡± Anhao smiled and reached out her hand. Chengxin looked at Gu Anhao¡¯s nonchalant attitude and a hint of caution appeared on her cold smile.¡¯¡±¡®Don¡¯t be too proud. Hancheng will never really like you, and he will never fall in love with you.¡± When Anhao heard this, she only raised her eyelids.¡±¡±Oh.¡± Seeing her indifferent attitude, Chengxin¡¯s face was filled with resentment, but her voice was soft and indifferent.¡±¡±You don¡¯t know how many years I¡¯ve waited for Han City. I¡¯ve liked him since I was a teenager, but his eyes have never been on me. But I¡¯m still waiting. I believe that one day, he will see me¡­¡± ¡°But Gu Anhao, do you believe that you will become a failure like me sooner or later?¡± Anhao looked at her calmly, as if she was listening to a story. She ate her grapes and said, ¡°¡±0h, please continue.¡± Chengxin¡¯s expression immediately turned ugly.¡±You don¡¯t mean much to Han City, maybe even less than me. Although you look like you love each other, there¡¯s someone else in Han City¡¯s heart. The woman who truly stands in the heart of Han Cheng is right there, and you, Gu Anhao, are not worth mentioning at all.¡± Chengxin suddenly pointed out of the French window. Anhao turned to look outside the window and saw a famous advertisement for luxury skincare products suddenly playing on the big screen of a building opposite her. On the screen was Rong Xue¡¯s smiling face. Anhao retracted her gaze and looked at Chengxin again. ¡°So calm?¡± Cheng Xin sneered. You must have heard of Rong Xue. Gu Anhao, I advise you not to believe these seemingly loving appearances. Everyone in the Zuo family knew what Rong Xue meant to Han City. He loved Rong Xue. No matter eight years ago, seven years ago, five years ago, or now, she was the woman he had never fought with. You, in my eyes, are just a small interlude, a puppet that Han City used to go against Grandpa.¡± Chengxin stood up and looked at the advertisement on the big screen outside the window.¡±¡±You¡¯re simply an unremarkable existence. Don¡¯t take yourself too seriously. The woman that Hancheng truly loves is Rongxue. You will never be able to compare to a single strand of her hair.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression was not as disappointed or surprised as Cheng Xin had imagined. She just suddenly looked in the direction behind her. Zuo Hancheng was standing at the door of the lounge not far behind Chengxin.. Chapter 295 - Chapter 295: You’re Mine Tonight (4) Chapter 295: You¡¯re Mine Tonight (4) Translator: 549690339 The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng, Cheng Xin¡¯s expression turned pale from the arrogance she had just displayed. She even took a step back timidly, unable to hide the panic in her eyes. At first glance, it was obvious that Chengxin was someone that even Anhao could not be bothered with. She was not as good as Rongxue. At least Rongxue would be frank after doing things. At least she would not be so flustered and embarrassed when her true colors were exposed. If she really wanted to compete with Cheng Xin and Rong Xue, Anhao would rather her opponent was Rong Xue, who had more tricks and boldness. As for Cheng Xin, she felt that even if she were to argue with her, she would appear cheap. Hence, Anhao raised her eyebrows. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold, she did not interrupt. Instead, she sat on the sofa with a smile on her face as if it was none of her business. ¡°Han City¡­¡± Chengxin¡¯s face was a little pale. She did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, but she had to face it. Seeing the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, Cheng Xin took another step back and clasped her hands tightly in front of her. After a long time, she said with red eyes, ¡®¡±¡®1 know you heard me. It seems like I¡¯m going overboard and trying to explain anything now, but everything I said is the truth. I¡¯m just stating the truth to Gu Anhao.¡± Yo, I didn¡¯t expect that when a person reached a dead end, he would really have a different kind of courage. Anhao thought that Chengxin would continue to find some reason to avoid it, but she didn¡¯t expect him to go forward bravely. What a good show. Anhao curled her lips and looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze remained on Chengxin¡¯s face coldly. His gaze was so indifferent that it was as if the woman standing not far away from him was a stranger and not the one who had grown up with him. ¡°The truth?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were as sharp as a knife that could no longer be tolerated. ¡°Your facts are just groundless accusations and groundless memories and images to scare people?¡± After being mercilessly mocked by Zuo Hancheng, Cheng Xin clenched her fists tightly and suddenly sneered,¡¯¡±¡® Hancheng, stop lying to yourself. I admit that I¡¯ve been waiting for you. I¡¯ve been waiting for you to listen to my grandfather¡¯s arrangements and marry into the Cheng family. I also admit that I might not be able to get your heart in this lifetime, but it¡¯s enough as long as I can get you. After all, you¡¯re my dream since I was young.¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to talk about this,¡± Zuo Hancheng said coldly.¡± ¡°Yes, there¡¯s no need.¡± Chengxin¡¯s eyes were red as she smiled a little miserably.¡± But there are some warnings that I have to tell Gu Anhao. For example, what happened between you and Rongxue back then.. ¡°Chengxin.¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted her. His voice was calm and not anxious, but it was solemn and cold.¡±Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want in the Zuo family just because the old man loves you. If you dare to talk nonsense here again, you should know that I will have a thousand ways to make you unable to stay in the Zuo family or even have a foothold in the United States.¡¯ Chengxin¡¯s lips trembled. She looked at him in disbelief for a long time before she suddenly smiled and said, ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re feeling guilty!¡± ¡°Why would I feel guilty?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned. Take back your groundless alarmist words. Although Anhao is young, she¡¯s not brainless. She knows whether it¡¯s true or false, good or bad. She doesn¡¯t need you to fan the flames here to sow discord.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sowing discord. I¡¯m telling the truth!¡±Chengxin was also completely angered by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifference.¡±¡±Everyone in the Zuo family knows about Rongxue, but the name Rongxue has become a taboo in the Zuo family for so many years. No one wants to mention it, but I know the whole process. Hancheng, the misunderstanding between you and Rongxue was caused by my grandfather. I think you could not tolerate my actions five years ago because you knew the truth, so you left the Zuo family and America.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t expect there to be a story behind this. She raised her eyebrows and looked up. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained calm and his eyes were cold.¡±So what if you know the truth? So what if he didn¡¯t know the truth? The past is just the past to me, there is no need to mention it again.¡± ¡°Ha, it¡¯s really easy to say¡­¡± Cheng Xin laughed out loud.¡± Hancheng, stop lying to yourself. I heard that back then¡­¡± Footsteps suddenly came from outside the lounge, followed by Butler Chen¡¯s voice,¡±¡±Miss Cheng, the coffee is back. Are you in the lounge?¡± Chengxin¡¯s voice suddenly stopped. In front of Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng, she had completely removed her mask of obedience. However, Uncle Chen was the eyes of Old Master Zuo. She could not reveal too much in front of Uncle Chen. Otherwise, if Old Master Zuo found out what she had said and done today, she was afraid that her only pillar of support in the Zuo family would collapse. She did not continue. When Uncle Chen walked in, she looked up at Zuo Hancheng. Anhao also saw the cold gaze in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. Although he did not speak, his gaze was enough to intimidate Chengxin and make Anhao¡¯s heart tremble. Anhao believed in Zuo Hancheng, and she would no longer be as uncertain as she was before. But she is also very sensitive and aware of it, so she has some so-called truth, so she deliberately conceals and interrupt, of course, this doesn¡¯t affect her fighting strength to defeat the mistress, but it¡¯s just that she quietly has more out, a little curiosity and herself. However, in this situation, it was better for her to temporarily put away her curiosity. Chengxin did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng again. When Uncle Chen walked in, she smiled and walked to the door. She took the coffee from Uncle Chen¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Thank you, Uncle Chen.¡± Seeing that Uncle Chen had bought a few more cups of coffee, she took out two more cups and turned around to say, ¡°Although Uncle Chen bought the quick-melt coffee, the coffee here is not bad. It¡¯s considered the best quick-melt coffee in this area. Hancheng, Miss Gu, do you want to try it together?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not used to drinking instant coffee.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the cup of coffee in her hand and then looked at Uncle Chen, who seemed to be deep in thought. Obviously, Uncle Chen noticed that the atmosphere was not right, but he did not ask further. Anhao shrugged.¡± Pregnant women can¡¯t drink coffee. Miss Cheng, why do you always forget that I¡¯m pregnant?¡¯¡±¡® Gu Anhao¡¯s sarcastic remark made Chengxin¡¯s expression tense. She pretended to be calm as she opened the lid of the coffee cup and smiled.¡±l¡¯m sorry, but I always felt that you didn¡¯t look pregnant, so I instinctively wanted to share it with you..¡± Chapter 296 - Chapter 296: You ‘re Mine Tonight (5) Chapter 296: You ¡®re Mine Tonight (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I always felt that you didn¡¯t look pregnant, so I instinctively wanted to share it with you.¡±As she said that, Chengxin stole a glance at Zuo Hancheng. It was obvious that she was reminding him that Anhao¡¯s pregnancy might not be true. However. Zuo Hancheng. who knew the truth better than anvone else. remained calm and collected. It was as if he did not even see the warning in Chengxin¡¯s eyes as he turned to look at Gu Anhao. ¡°How long will you be in the company?¡± ¡°More than two hours. I just sat down.¡± Anhao replied. ¡°I still have two meetings in the afternoon, so I¡¯m resting for now. It¡¯s already past one in the afternoon, so I have an hour to eat lunch with you.¡± Anhao leaned back lazily on the sofa and rubbed her stomach in a dignified manner. She smiled and said, ¡°¡±Didn¡¯t you say that the orthodox western food in the United States is different from what we eat in China? Why don¡¯t you just let me see what orthodox western food tastes like?¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitch slightly, Anhao immediately stood up and went forward to hold his arm happily.¡±¡±Since we only have an hour, let¡¯s go quickly. After all, this is your company¡¯s former headquarters. You must be very familiar with this area.¡± Zuo Hancheng could not do anything about Anhao¡¯s gluttonous attitude. He smiled indulgently and patted her head.¡±Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Seeing the couple¡¯s unintentional display of affection, the disposable coffee cup in Chengxin¡¯s hand was about to explode. After holding it in for a long time, she said to Uncle Chen just as Zuo Hancheng was about to leave with Anhao,¡±¡±Uncle Chen, we should go for lunch.¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, why don¡¯t we go together?¡± Uncle Chen nodded and turned around.¡± Chengxin¡¯s purpose was to make Uncle Chen say this, but Gu Anhao turned around and said, ¡®¡±¡®1 think it¡¯s better to forget it. Miss Cheng definitely won¡¯t like the kind of western restaurant I want to go to. Maybe when I¡¯m full, I¡¯ll pack up the remaining steak, fries, tomatoes, and other things on the table. Miss Cheng will definitely not be used to my commoner behavior, so let¡¯s eat separately.¡± After saying that, Anhao didn¡¯t wait for Uncle Chen and Chengxin to respond. She smiled and held her husband¡¯s arm as they walked out of the lounge. Seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s smug look, Chengxin¡¯s eyes gradually showed some resentment and unwillingness. When Uncle Chen turned around, she quietly hid the emotions in her eyes and gently bit her lip. There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in her eyes. ¡± Miss Cheng, I¡¯m not going to force you. Although I¡¯m on your and Old Master¡¯s side, Mr. Zuo and Miss Gu are clearly very loving. I¡¯m going to say something that I shouldn¡¯t say. Please don¡¯t be unhappy¡­¡± ¡°Since Uncle Chen knows that what he wants to say shouldn¡¯t be said, then don¡¯t say it.¡±Chengxin¡¯s tone was indifferent as she turned around and walked out. Uncle Chen¡¯s expression froze and he slowly shook his head. Anhao, this fake pregnant woman, didn¡¯t have morning sickness. Secondly, she didn¡¯t have any pregnancy symptoms. Thirdly, she didn¡¯t really put on an act. However, once she arrived at the restaurant that Zuo Hancheng brought her to, her stomach started to feel as if it was a pregnant woman. He had no choice! It was really too, too, too delicious! This was not as simple as the tomatoes and black peppers in China! It was so delicious that he couldn¡¯t name it. He didn¡¯t know what strange ingredients were added. Looking at the other tables, many people who came here only ordered a cup of coffee and some simple dishes. They were just sitting in twos and threes to discuss things or go on dates. On the table in front of her, there were almost all the plates that she had swept clean. Seeing Zuo Hancheng staring at her for a long time, Anhao picked up a few chips and put them into her mouth. She mumbled,¡±¡±What are you looking at? He had never seen such a beautiful woman eating.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen someone who can eat so much and yet is so confident.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a blessing to be able to eat. Grandpa will only believe that I¡¯m really pregnant if I eat a little fatter. Besides, Chengxin is always suspecting that I¡¯m faking my pregnancy. I think she¡¯s like a time bomb. I have to eat a little fatter to dispel everyone¡¯s doubts.¡± ¡°You¡¯re just finding an excuse to eat.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll eat it. I just love it. What¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know! Didn¡¯t I eat all the food you made for me at home? Anhao rolled her eyes at him, picked up the prawn on the table, peeled it, and ate while saying,¡±¡±By the way, will Chengxin tell Grandpa about her suspicions?¡± ¡°Yes, but it¡¯s useless. After all, if she had deliberately said such things to Grandfather from her point of view, Grandfather would have known what Chengxin was thinking based on his life experience. At most, he would have protected her and not continued to talk about this matter, but he would definitely not allow Chengxin to go too far between us.¡± ¡°Grandpa is that rational?¡± ¡°He wants face. Although Chengxin is his favorite, the harmony and reunion of the Zuo family is also the most important thing for people at his age. So, you just have to be yourself. Don¡¯t be too deliberate.¡± ¡°In any case, Chengxin is the only one with bad intentions now. Besides, I don¡¯t know how many women are hiding in the dark who admire you. It¡¯s really inappropriate to think about me now.¡±Ann¡¯s mouth was so big that it was bulging. She said vaguely, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have ignored the classmate who wrote me a love letter, and I should have called out the person I used to have a crush on. That way, it would be fairer. Otherwise, with how popular you are, if another Chengxin No. 2 or Chengxin No. 3 popped up one day, I¡¯m really afraid that I¡¯ll accidentally step on a landmine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already good enough that you didn¡¯t place mines under other people¡¯s feet. How could you step on other people¡¯s mines?¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled. Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Hey, look. If I really blew up your Chengxin No. 2, Chengxin No. 3, or whatever, would you be angry?¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± No, but where are the two and three?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°I don¡¯t know for the time being, but looking at how clean and self-disciplined you are, it shouldn¡¯t be easy for you to meet those women who pounce on you. After all, they all need to pretend in front of you. It¡¯s impossible for them to really take the initiative.¡± Anhao analyzed the situation as she spoke.¡±Why don¡¯t you just ask this? If Chengxin and Rongxue are both standing in front of me, I can only blow up one person..¡± Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: You’re Mine Tonight (6) Chapter 297: You¡¯re Mine Tonight (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± Shouldn¡¯t the question be which one of you or my mother should I save first?¡± What kind of question is that?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just modifying it. Asking for the exact same thing is called plagiarism.¡±Anhao held her chin and looked at him seriously. Her eyes were filled with provocation. ¡°What, you can¡¯t answer?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Gu Anhao, you¡¯re throwing a bomb in front of me before I can answer. Regardless of whether I answer or not, I¡¯ll be the first one to die.¡±¡® Tsk, as expected of Zuo Hancheng. He was exposed so easily. Anhao pouted.¡± Alright, I admit that I¡¯m being childish when I ask this question. But Zuo Hancheng, I really want to ask you something.¡± ¡°About what?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°About you and me.¡± Anhao cupped her chin and looked at him with a sincere smile.¡¯¡±¡®l believe everything you¡¯ve said to me. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re worthy of my trust, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant eyebrows moved slightly, and the smile in his eyes was as clear as a spring.¡±Of course.¡± ¡± As the saying goes, no matter when or what, as long as you don¡¯t tell me anything, no matter what others say, I can¡¯t believe it, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± He raised his eyebrows slightly when he answered. It was obvious that he felt that her mind had matured more than one level when she said these words. He even seemed to have some praise. Anhao wasn¡¯t here to be praised. She was sincerely trying to get to know someone she wanted to know thoroughly. ¡°Then¡­one last question.¡± Anhao blinked and said,¡±The two of us now¡­¡± Can you even talk about the word love?¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard her words, he looked at her seriously and said, ¡°¡±What do you think?¡± ¡°If I knew, why would I ask you?¡±Anhao glared at him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He suddenly called the waiter over and ordered a roasted pork heart that very few people would order here. ¡°You¡¯re actually eating roasted pig¡¯s heart?¡± Anhao asked in surprise. You have such a strong taste!¡± ¡°This is for you.¡± ¡°Me? When did I say I wanted to eat roasted pig¡¯s heart?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make up for what I lack.¡± Zuo Hancheng picked up the magazine by the dining table and flipped through it after he said that. He was not in the mood to chat with her anymore. Anhao swallowed the last piece of steak in her mouth with difficulty. Roasted pig¡¯s heart? What was missing? F * ck! Was he calling her a pig or was he calling her heartless? After the meal, she returned to the company. Zuo Hancheng indeed had two urgent routine meetings that needed to be held. However, these two meetings did not last that long. Anhao only watched two and a half episodes of the drama in the resting room before it ended. During this period, Chengxin did not appear to disturb her again, and she did not ask where Chengxin had gone. It was probably Uncle Chen who had taken her away first, or they had gone somewhere else to study. Anyway, Anhao did not care about Chengxin¡¯s whereabouts. After all, a brainless woman like Chengxin would probably have no feelings for Zuo Hancheng even if all the women in the world were dead. It was not that Chengxin did not take Anhao seriously at all, but Anhao had never taken a character like Chengxin seriously. A character that was too stupid could not even be considered an opponent. At most, he was just a passerby to relieve his boredom. Another episode of the TV series ended. Anhao was bored as she switched channels. She looked at the foreign language channels on TV and felt a little depressed. She had just received a call from Zuo Hancheng. He said that the meeting had ended, but he had to discuss some matters with his subordinates in the office. He would be back in about fifteen minutes. After searching for a long time, she finally found two Chinese channels. However, one of the TV series that she could barely watch had already finished filming. The other channel was broadcasting business news from New York. It was a news channel that switched between Chinese and English. After Anhao stopped at this one, she realized that there was nothing else to watch. She could only put the remote control aside and watch the news while eating the fruits on the fruit plate on the coffee table. Suddenly, two faces flashed across the television news. She didn¡¯t get a clear look, but when the two faces flashed past, Anhao¡¯s mind suddenly buzzed. Just now¡­ She seemed to have seen her mother. Although that face looked a little old, and she didn¡¯t know how many years older than her mother, it really did look like her. However, it flashed past her and she didn¡¯t hear what was being said on the television. Anhao fixed her eyes on the TV screen again. In the end, she saw a few words on the translated Chinese subtitles in the corner. The Chinese giant, the leader of one of the world¡¯s top companies, An Group, went to XXX with his wife to cut the ribbon. The An family? The An Corporation in New York? Could it be the An family who also planted Ice Blue? All kinds of strange ideas flashed through Anhao¡¯s mind. More importantly, she remembered the memories of her childhood. The dried flowers in the book, and the posture of her mother carefully picking up the dried flowers and putting them back in the book. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but the face that flashed past just now made Anhao inexplicably panic. She felt as if something was rising and falling in her heart, but she could not find the source. It was a feeling of loss and helplessness. Was it a coincidence? It was just a coincidence¡­ She had never heard her mother mention anything about overseas. Her mother was just a simple university student who had graduated in China. She was just a woman who had once gone astray and accidentally had a relationship with Gu Tianming. However, Gu Tianming¡¯s call that day made Anhao ponder the truth behind those words. She didn¡¯t know if these recent events were really related to the things she suspected, but all the traces were blurry. She couldn¡¯t connect them at all and could only think of some random possibilities. In the end, he could only give up on those messy thoughts. The news on the television had already changed to another report. There was no longer the image of the person in charge of the An Corporation cutting the ribbon with his wife. Anhao, on the other hand, was staring at the television for a long time. When Zuo Hancheng rushed to the resting area, Anhao was still glued to the television. The things that Gu Tianming had told her on the television kept ringing in her ears. Was her mother hiding something from her? What was Gu Tianming¡¯s motive for meeting her? Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a familiar smell approaching. She snapped back to her senses and looked up to see Zuo Hancheng walking in. She did not know when he had arrived at the sofa and how long he had been looking at her. Anhao blinked and looked down at the time.¡±¡±Are you done?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been absent-minded at least three times more than before. It seems that you have a lot on your mind. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to tell me?¡±Zuo Hancheng sat beside her and put his arm around her shoulders. His deep black eyes reflected her curled up on the sofa.. Chapter 298 - Chapter 298: You’re Mine Tonight (7) Chapter 298: You¡¯re Mine Tonight (7) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I¡¯m not being distracted. I¡¯m thinking.¡±Anhao said seriously. Zuo Hancheng tilted his head slightly and said with a mocking tone, ¡°¡±Hmm?¡± Alright, she knew that he wouldn¡¯t believe her no matter how she tried to find a topic to talk about. Anhao decided to change the topic. ¡°Will Uncle Chen tell Grandpa about what happened today?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Hancheng replied. ¡°Then will Uncle Chen tell Grandpa about it?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s answer was very certain, Anhao pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±That¡¯s good. I still plan to perform well in front of Grandpa. At least before I return to China, I have to improve his impression of me.¡± ¡°The flight back to China is scheduled for four days. Do you plan to improve the old man¡¯s impression of you by two or three points in these four days?¡±Zuo Hancheng sneered. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t believe me?¡± Anhao glared at him. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and suddenly pinched her nose.¡±¡±You¡¯re quite ambitious.¡¯ ¡± Of course, I¡¯m Gu Anhao. It¡¯s fine if people don¡¯t like me usually, but this old man is related to my future identity as the wife of the CEO of Shengling Group or the wife of the person in charge of the entire Zuo¡¯s Enterprise. Of course, I have to take it seriously.¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard her pretentious, greedy, and exaggerated tone, he did not look at her with an expression that said,¡± So you¡¯re like this, Gu Anhao.¡± Instead, he curled his lips in satisfaction.¡±Girl, your temper is always the type of person who won¡¯t let go. You met the old man, and he met you, and he met an indestructible stone. Fortunately, he will return to China in four days. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that his life in the Zuo family will only get more exciting day by day.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t always hide from the old man like a mouse meeting a cat. Life is like that. If you can¡¯t resist it, you can only enjoy it. The old man is so old. No matter how stubborn he is, he¡¯s still a mortal. His heart isn¡¯t made of stone. There will always be weaknesses.¡± There will always be weaknesses.¡± Anhao said as she confidently flicked her fingers on her arm.¡±¡±Then, didn¡¯t you say that you wanted me to celebrate my birthday at the Zuo family? I¡¯ll make my birthday a little more warm and not too grand. I¡¯ll let Grandpa experience a harmonious and happy family life. I¡¯ll let him gradually get used to my existence in a warm and happy atmosphere.¡± Although Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, he raised his eyebrows slightly. It was obvious that he had taken her words to heart. Anhao continued, ¡± The most important thing is that it¡¯s my birthday, so the source of happiness and warmth is me. Grandpa¡¯s attention will more or less stay on me. What¡¯s the law in psychology? I heard Mr. Wenner say it before. Anyway, it¡¯s definitely effective.¡¯¡±¡® As Anhao spoke, she leaned into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and said intimately,¡±¡±Alright? The Zuo family usually doesn¡¯t lack anything, but what they lack is the warmth of a normal family. I¡¯ve also been missing this kind of feeling for so many years. This way, Old Master and I can get what we want, and Grandpa and I can be happy. This is called killing two birds with one stone. It¡¯s not troublesome at all¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s your birthday. Of course, you can celebrate it however you want.¡±Zuo Hancheng listened to her patiently and raised his hand to tuck the hair on her cheek behind her ear.¡±¡±Although it goes against my original intentions.¡± ¡°What was your original intention?¡±Anhao blinked. Zuo Hancheng sighed and smiled.¡± Your birthday is in three days at the Zuo family¡¯s house. Everything will go according to your wishes. However, you¡¯re mine tonight.¡± You¡¯re mine tonight.. These five words made Anhao¡¯s entire body tremble, and she instantly felt her face burn. However, she had unknowingly leaned into his arms just now, and she could not retreat for a moment. She could only pretend to be calm and look at him.¡±What does it belong to you.. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. He chuckled.¡± My initial plan was to let you enjoy your time alone on your twentieth birthday. However, since the old man is a difficult problem and you want to overcome him so much, I¡¯ll bring forward the plan.¡± Tonight, I¡¯ll celebrate your birthday in advance alone.¡± ¡®What? 1¡­ ¡°You can only agree. You can¡¯t refuse.¡± Anhao choked. She did not expect that Zuo Hancheng could be so unreasonable. When he said such words, he had taken off his Big Boss Zuo aura. He only had her in his eyes, as if she was the only treasure in the world. It was as if he wanted to give her the best of everything and would not allow her to reject him. In the end, Anhao nodded, but her eyes were filled with suspicion. She asked softly, ¡®¡±¡®Then aren¡¯t we going back to the Zuo family today?¡± What he meant by the two of them should be that there was no one else by his side. If he returned to the Zuo family. it was inevitable that he would have to face the entire Zuo family. Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but he raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that she had guessed correctly. Although Anhao could guess the various possibilities that would happen tonight if the two of them didn¡¯t return to the Zuo family, the most important thing now was that she didn¡¯t have to face the old man for the time being tonight. She instantly heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how much information she had, she had been pressured by the Zuo family for the past few days. It was good that she could relax for a while today. She raised her hand and gestured a V at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Deal!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curved into a happy smile. He held her hand that was gesturing in a V shape and gently kissed it. Uh, just the two of them. Could she regret it? Anhao was standing in a secluded manor somewhere in Los Angeles, looking at the endless sea of flowers and the clear lake at the end. However, she was lost in this manor! The reason is that the manor is working, the staff is obedient, obeying the rules, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working, the staff is working. However, when she walked into the huge manor, Anhao walked in with a shocked expression. When she finally found that she was lost in the sea of flowers, she really wanted to cry. However, if she called Zuo Hancheng and told him that she was lost, would he be so angry that he would not celebrate her birthday early tonight? Would he scold her for being stupid and ask someone to make her a pig¡¯s head meat to nourish her brain? Anhao stood in the sea of flowers, feeling like crying. She looked around in a daze and suddenly looked up at a brightly lit attic in the distance. She guessed that there should be someone there, so she picked up her rare dress and jogged in the direction of the light.. Chapter 299 - Chapter 299: You ‘re Mine Tonight (8) Chapter 299: You ¡®re Mine Tonight (8) Translator: 549690339 However, when he ran to the brightly lit place, he realized that it was actually a church. There was no one around, and it was very quiet inside. However, there was light inside, so it was impossible for there to be no one. Anhao really wanted to find someone to ask which way to get out, or ask where Zuo Hancheng had arranged the place for his birthday celebration. But as she jumped around outside the church, she realized that there were two rows of high fences on both sides of the church. This side was the back of the church, and the back door was tightly closed. No one was there even after knocking for a long time. Anhao had no choice but to cross her legs and try her best to look inside. Sure enough, she saw a few figures walking inside, but she did not see clearly what they were holding in their hands. Anhao took a few steps back and looked up at the fence on both sides of the church. She felt that she should jump over to see what was on the other side. What if she went to the wrong place when she first came in? Maybe she should go to the front of the church, but she ended up at the back. If Zuo Hancheng were to find out about this, he would laugh so hard that he wanted to crawl into the ground! ¡°Pui pui Anhao waited for a minute, then suddenly sprinted forward and rushed up to the high fence in front of her. Based on her previous skills, she could easily jump over the railing to support her body. However, she had miscalculated. She was wearing a dress today! It was still that kind of layered, very, very fairy-like dress. Her steps were much smaller than she had expected. As soon as she jumped onto the fence, she lost her balance and almost fell off the fence because she miscalculated her steps and strength. Anhao hurriedly grabbed onto a bar that she passed as she fell down, but her entire body could only rely on one hand to hang on the bar. She looked down. Damn it, even with the dress as an obstacle, she still jumped so high. She was now three to four meters away from the ground. She still remembered that when she jumped up, she used the inertia to kick up twice. In the end, the high heels on her feet became a burden this time. She tried to kick down with her feet, but she could no longer find a place to land. The most important thing was that the zipper behind her collar was hooked to a wire on the fence. If she fell down like this, the zipper behind her would definitely be torn open. How was she going to go out and meet people? Hence¡­ On such a dark and windy night.. On the night that Zuo Hancheng was supposed to celebrate her birthday early¡­ She, Gu Anhao, was hanging on the fence behind the church. The northern wind howled and blew, causing her dress to fly. Anhao was so anxious that tears were about to fall. As time went by, her hands gradually lost their strength as she held onto the fence. Her entire arm was so numb that it didn¡¯t feel like it belonged to her. However, there was still a distance of three to four meters from the ground. If she jumped down like this, she would definitely not die, but it was still possible for her to break her leg. She shouldn¡¯t have tried to jump over the fence in such a place! Anhao hung on the fence for a long time. Her brain was about to be blown into paste by the wind. In the end, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, letting herself fall down. If she really broke her leg, she could just lie at home and recuperate for a hundred days. She wouldn¡¯t die anyway! If she continued to hang here, she would really die! As for the zipper, he couldn¡¯t care less! His life was about to be blown away by this wind, so how could he care if he was shameless or not! One, two, three¡­Let go¡­ All of a sudden, she loosened her grip on the railing. As her body fell, Anhao closed her eyes tightly. However, other than the cold sensation on her back caused by the unzipped zipper on her back, there was no expected pain. It was as if she had fallen into someone¡¯s arms. There was a force below that held her firmly. Anhao lowered her head abruptly. She never expected Zuo Hancheng to be right below her. He managed to hold her and save her leg that was almost injured. Anhao was so excited that she almost couldn¡¯t speak. She quickly raised her hand and gestured for a long time, pointing up and down.¡±l-l-l wanted to jump over, but I didn¡¯t manage to. Then, my clothes were hooked by the wire on top¡­ Zuo Hancheng did not listen to her incoherent words at all. With a dark face, he gritted his teeth and said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, can¡¯t you stop?¡± Seeing that he was obviously very dissatisfied with her various actions, Anhao immediately became obedient and did not say anything. She only looked at him with a pair of aggrieved eyes.¡±l¡¯m lost¡­ He had completely lost his face! Zuo Hancheng put her down and saw the broken zipper on her back and her fair back exposed in the dark air. He took off his coat and put it on her back. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait for me in the lounge at nine o¡¯clock?¡± ¡°While you were discussing with those company managers, I walked around the department store downstairs of your company for more than an hour. I bought clothes, shoes, and many other gadgets. I was really bored waiting. I remembered that you said you would bring me to this place tonight, so I wanted to come over in advance to take a look. Who knew¡­ This place is so big. After entering, I only saw a sea of flowers. I was completely lost when I walked in¡­¡± As Anhao spoke, she carefully looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s helpless expression. She grinned and reached out to hug his arm in a fawning manner.¡±How did you find me?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at a secret door not far from the fence.¡±I also came an hour early, but I saw a figure sneaking behind the church.¡± That was all he had to say, but Anhao could already hear what he was about to say. In the end, she saw a figure sneaking behind the church. The people in the church thought she was a thief and wanted to come out and attack her. He recognized her figure and took the risk of being humiliated by her to catch her first. ¡°Cough¡­¡± Anhao cleared her throat and pretended to cough.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m not causing any trouble, am I?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had no intention of answering her. He only began to question her when she was grinning guiltily.¡±The door is right there, but you jumped over the fence here?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I¡¯m not familiar with this place. It¡¯s so dark. I didn¡¯t see anything!¡¯¡±¡® The door was as tall as the fence. She could not tell that it was a door at all! ¡°Then can we walk through the door now?¡±Anhao tried to reach out and tug at his shirt sleeve with a smile of apology on her face. ¡°Too late.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly said indifferently. ¡°What¡¯s late?¡± Anhao asked in surprise. However, just as she was puzzled, she heard footsteps coming from the church. Before she could react, Zuo Hancheng had already dragged her away. ¡°Ah, hello¡­. What is this¡­¡± Chapter 300 - Chapter 300: You’re Mine Tonight (9) Chapter 300: You¡¯re Mine Tonight (9) Translator: 549690339 However, when Zuo Hancheng stuffed Anhao into the car, she was still confused. When Zuo Hancheng drove away from the Floral Manor, Anhao turned to look at him strangely.¡¯¡±¡®What happened?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked straight ahead and said calmly,¡±¡±This church is a holy church passed down from an ancient clan. The priests, believers, and staff of the manor all follow the ancient way of life and blessings.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Your act of jumping over the fence just now has already violated their bottom line. In addition, you are not dressed properly and cannot be blessed. On the contrary, if they knew that the person who jumped over the fence just now was you, what do you think they would do to you?¡± Anhao took a deep breath. So¡­¡± ¡°Your birthday present is gone.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm. His calm tone disturbed Anhao. ¡°What do you mean by no birthday present? I haven¡¯t even seen what my birthday present is. Why is it gone?! ¡°Anhao was unwilling. Zuo Hancheng was still focused on driving. He did not even look at her and said calmly, ¡®¡±¡® People who have lived in Los Angeles for more than 20 years know an ancient legend. This ancient legend originated from this Holy Church. To be able to receive the blessing of the archpriest of the Holy Church is the dream of many young fianc¨¦es. This is an opportunity that might not necessarily be obtained even if you have power and influence.¡± Ann opened her mouth as if she understood something. ¡°Gu Anhao, this is the most special and enviable proposal venue in the world, and you ruined it yourself.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was indifferent when he spoke. Anhao still felt that it was strange. Why hadn¡¯t she heard of any ancient clans? Did she not know the customs of the people here since she had not lived in America for so long? No matter what, she felt that Zuo Hancheng would not do such an unreliable thing. He was not such a superstitious person at all. There must be something wrong¡­ However, she could not tell what was wrong. She could only turn her head to look at him from time to time and ask in a low voice, ¡°Are you really planning to propose to me there?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. The car suddenly stopped after a turn. Anhao was puzzled when she saw the hotel outside. She pointed at the entrance of the hotel and then pointed at herself.¡±Are we staying here tonight?¡± ¡°Yes, get out of the car,¡± What was this, so cold! Didn¡¯t he just cause trouble again! It wasn¡¯t like he didn¡¯t know that she was a troublemaker, yet he was still giving her a hard time today. Anhao unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car angrily. She was sulking at Zuo Hancheng in her heart as she walked quickly into the hotel without looking back. If he didn¡¯t propose, then he wouldn¡¯t! They had been married for so long anyway! So what if there was no marriage proposal or wedding! However, she would not celebrate her birthday since it was not officially her birthday today. She would just pretend that it had never happened! Anhao strode into the main entrance of the hotel. As soon as she entered the lobby, her vision suddenly turned black. She was so shocked that she froze on the spot. The hotel lobby, which had been brightly lit just a moment ago, was instantly so dark that she couldn¡¯t even see her fingers. However, just as she was shocked, in just a second, there was a faint warm candlelight in front of her eves. One cluster, two clusters, three clusters¡­ Thev lit up bit bv bit, and finallv formed hundreds of heart-shaped candle rings in the hotel lobby, illuminating the huge hotel lobby with warmth and dreaminess. Ann was stunned. Before she could come back to her senses, she saw the screen in the middle of the hotel lobby suddenly light up. On the screen was a line comic that was playing slowly. In the manga, a little girl with pigtails was flying a kite among the flowers. Beside the little girl stood a figure drawn with dotted lines. The manga played backwards bit by bit. The little girl grew up day by day. She experienced a peaceful and happy growth unlike other girls. She experienced countless unbearable pains at that age¡­ And in every manga of the little girl¡¯s happy or happy experiences, there was a figure drawn in dotted lines standing in the corner. That figure stood far away and watched from afar. He knew everything about her and looked at everything about her. He reached out his hand, but he could not hug her. It was not until a few years later that the little girl accidentally fell into the arms of the illusory figure in a bar. The illusory figure that seemed to not exist gradually became a solid line and gradually became real¡­ He held the girl in his arms. He could finally hold her in his arms. A real hug, a real warmth. He protected her from the wind and rain, protected her from all past or future harm, helped her wave away those painful memories of the past, brought her up the mountain that was full of sunshine, brought her up to the sea of flowers decorated by the stars and moon, and brought her to receive the blessings of the priest¡­ The imaginary lines in her memories that could not touch each other became a thick and colorful stroke, deeply drawn into her life¡­ It was not until more and more heart-shaped candles surrounded the hotel lobby that it became brighter and brighter. Someone pushed a cake cart into the entrance. Anhao had never seen such a beautiful cake before. There were so many types of cakes, a total of twenty cakes, but it was as if someone wanted to celebrate the first nineteen birthdays that he had missed for her. Anhao raised her eyes, her gaze still fixed on the big screen. She looked at the person who had painted her world with such heavy colors. Suddenly, she heard a soft and slow singing. It seemed to be a kind of recitation. She had vaguely heard this singing behind the church of Flower Garden Manor. It seemed to be a very profound blessing. She could not understand it, but she was sure that she had heard this singing in the church before. So, Zuo Hancheng was just teasing her on purpose. He would give her everything he wanted. Why did she never know that Zuo Hancheng would be so attentive to her? Why did she never think that he would really give her a proposal ceremony, even when she was about to turn twenty, or even¡­ Twenty cakes! When the figure on the big screen suddenly turned into her standing in the hall, Anhao looked at herself on the screen and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure slowly approaching behind her. She took a deep breath and suddenly said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you trying to stuff me to death?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was already used to dealing with Anhao¡¯s unconventional personality. He completely ignored her inappropriate words and walked to her side. The chanting around him had stopped. He held her hand and held it in his palm. Anhao felt as if there was an electric current flowing through their palms and hitting her body, and finally hitting her heart.. It was not the first time she held hands with Zuo Hancheng, but the numbness that she felt today was indescribable! Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: You ‘re Mine Tonight (10) Chapter 301: You ¡®re Mine Tonight (10) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re going to eat me up.¡±Anhao¡¯s trembling hand was held by him. The two of them stood under the heart-shaped candlelight, and she looked at the cakes around her. ¡°There are so many cakes. All of them look delicious. I don¡¯t want to miss any of them, but I can¡¯t even eat one. You¡¯re just trying to stuff me to death¡­¡± ¡°Just choose one.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t expect him to say this after he walked in. She tilted her head and looked around. Which cake do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Among these cakes, only one has a wedding ring under it.¡± Anhao sucked in a breath of cold air. She was so touched that tears were about to fall. Looking at the man beside her who seemed to have walked into reality from an illusion, she was completely brought back to reality in an instant. Damn it, she knew that there was something fishy about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sudden romance. He was actually waiting for her here! He must still be looking for her to settle the score for the last time she ran to T City without a word. He was actually waiting for her here! He was actually waiting for her during the proposal! Twenty cakes! Anhao gritted her teeth and looked at the 20 cakes. She really wanted to have the backbone to say,¡± I don¡¯t want them anymore!¡± However, she was unwilling to give up. She poked his palm with her finger and whispered, ¡°Give me a hint.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and held her fingers in his palm one by one.¡±¡±Think of a way yourself.¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him and turned around to walk towards the cakes. There were 20 cakes, and under each cake was an exquisitely designed birthday card. On the back of the card was her name,¡± Anhao ¡°. There was no ¡± Gu ¡°, only ¡± Anhao ¡°, but it was also the two words that she liked the most. Anhao, AH, happy birthday. Happy birthday from one to twenty years old. Before she walked past each cake, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handwritten wishes at the bottom of each greeting card. She could almost see the international CEO of Shengling Group, who would usually only pick up an expensive pen and sign his name on every important document, sitting at the table and seriously writing twenty greetings and twenty happy birthdays. There weren¡¯t many words, but it was the most unique and sincere gift he had given her when she was twenty. Making up for the 20 years he had missed, making up for the 19 years he had not been involved in. Just like the dotted line in the corner of the comic, he slowly walked into reality and hugged her in his arms. On this birthday, there wasn¡¯t a particularly exaggerated princess dress, crystal chandelier, or a sea of dreamy roses as Anhao had imagined. However, it was filled with reality, allowing her to feel this happiness and believe that everything was real. She had never known when Zuo Hancheng started to understand her so well. He knew what she wanted and what was useless to her. As Anhao walked past the twenty cakes, she did not choose. Instead, she looked at the bride and groom in the wedding dress on the twentieth file quietly. It was a cartoon version of her and Zuo Hancheng. Many of the characters ¡®characteristics were vividly presented on the two cartoon figures. She suddenly pointed at the first white cake at the other end. When she pointed at the cake, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not say anything, but his lips curled up. Anhao saw the faint but indistinct change in his expression and immediately knew that she had guessed correctly. Since he didn¡¯t even let her go for the past twenty years and wanted to occupy and participate in it one by one, it meant that he had never intended to let her go since she was born. Therefore, the ring must have been placed under the cake that represented her birth and one-year-old. Anhao ran over excitedly and picked up the cake. She lowered her head and saw that there was indeed a jewelry box. She immediately picked it up and opened it with a smug expression. In the end, there was actually a small diamond earring. Anhao was stunned. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng with a confused expression on her face. Seeing his indifferent gaze, he raised his hand slightly, indicating for her to continue. It seemed that he was still a humane person and didn¡¯t really let her finish all 20 cakes. Although the cake was very big, it could be easily lifted up because of the layer design on the cart. Anhao turned her eyes and continued to open the next cake. It was another ear stud, and it matched the previous one perfectly. It sparkled like stars. Anhao blinked and continued to look for the next cake. This time, it was a diamond pendant. And the next one¡­ A sparkling and flawless platinum necklace¡­ He continued down¡­ Bracelet, hair clip, diamond ring, etc. All the jewelry that a woman could think of was complete, and this was obviously a set of jewelry. Anhao had noticed the uniqueness of this set of jewelry just now. She did not know much about this, but she remembered seeing it on the cover of a fashion magazine that Gu Shishi had placed on the coffee table more than half a year ago when she last visited the Gu family. At that time, Anhao thought that this set of jewelry could be designed and assembled into jewelry with different effects after she bought it. She felt that it was very special, so she took a few more glances. However, Gu Shishi suddenly walked over and took the magazine from the coffee table. She rolled her eyes at her and said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, such a beautiful thing, even if I let you take a second look, I feel like you¡¯re dirtying my magazine. You probably won¡¯t even be able to get a pair of earrings like this in your lifetime. You should go back to your school and continue being a hooligan It was precisely because of this that Anhao remembered it. However, she only glanced at it occasionally and did not think too much about it. This was a set of jewelry designed by a world-renowned French designer last year. There was only one set of this set of jewelry in the world, and it had just been officially launched not long ago. Moreover, these jewelry were scattered in various countries around the world. Because of the high price and unique design, even the pair of earrings were exhibited separately in two countries. If one wanted to buy such a pair of earrings, they had to fly from one side of the ocean to the other. She did not know when Zuo Hancheng had started collecting this set of beloved jewelry, nor did she know why he would tease her like this. There was a surprise under every cake. If she really ate the cake foolishly, she probably would not be able to get a pair of earrings even if she was stuffed to death. Finally, Anhao¡¯s gaze fell on the twentieth cake. This set of jewelry had been gathered, and there was no more. What else was in the twentieth cake? Anhao stared at the cake in a daze as if she was possessed.. She slowly reached out and lifted it up¡­ Chapter 302 - Chapter 302: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (1) Chapter 302: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (1) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao opened the last cake, the surrounding lights suddenly lit up. Zuo Hancheng had walked behind her without her noticing. Anhao turned her head to look at him, then lowered her head to look at the exquisite velvet box under the cake. She looked at him in disbelief, then looked at the velvet box again. ¡°Can¡¯t you open it?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked with a faint smile. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Anhao said,¡± The first part is too blissful. I¡¯m afraid that the last part is a trap, or like Pandora¡¯s box. I thought it was a surprise, but I was scared in the end¡­¡¯ ¡°What¡¯s on your mind all day?¡±¡±Open it and take a look.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Seeing him urging her, Anhao quietly raised her eyebrows. She knew that this time, the person who prepared the gift was anxious. She calmly picked it up and opened it. She was shocked to see a pair of exquisite wedding rings inside. Most importantly, the man¡¯s ring was the one that she had bought for Zuo Hancheng. She clearly remembered that she had checked it out later. It was also a limited edition man¡¯s ring from a certain brand. But where did he get a woman¡¯s ring that matched this ring? Moreover, the two rings were so well matched. Whether it was the size, the design, or the various hidden lines on the rings, they all indicated that they were a pair of wedding rings. Anhao raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng, dumbfounded.¡±¡±How did you do it?¡± ¡°Find the designer of this male ring and ask him to personally design a matching pair of rings. The male ring has been slightly modified. Everything has a source when it is formed. Finding the source and recreating it to derive a pair is a simple matter.¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed as he spoke.¡± Those are your birthday presents. Nineteen pieces of the most beloved accessories. You can mix and match them as you wish. Nineteen years, nineteen cakes, nineteen gifts. And now, you are twenty years old. Gu Anhao, congratulations on becoming Mrs. Zuo.¡± Before Anhao could react, Zuo Hancheng had already held her hand and was about to put the ring on her finger. Anhao stared at him in shock.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Seeing that she was so embarrassed that she did not know what to say, he smiled indulgently.¡±¡±As you wish.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly knelt on one knee. Fortunately, the moment he knelt down on one knee, he almost had a brain hemorrhage. He quickly wanted to jump away from him. Zuo Hancheng did not delay holding her hand as he knelt down. He put the ring on her ring finger before she hurriedly tried to escape. He only let go of her after putting on the ring, allowing her to jump high and far away like a rabbit. ¡°I haven¡¯t agreed yet! I haven¡¯t agreed yet! I haven¡¯t agreed yet!¡± Anhao repeated herself three times and pointed at the ring on her ring finger excitedly.¡±¡±You¡¯re forcing me to buy it, aren¡¯t you?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly.¡±¡±Ms. Gu Anhao, you¡¯re already Mrs. Zuo.¡± ¡°But, but didn¡¯t you say that you were going to make up a proposal ceremony for me? Since it¡¯s already so grand, shouldn¡¯t you do every step? I haven¡¯t agreed yet!¡± Anhao was still clinging to the fact that she had not agreed to it, but Zuo Hancheng glanced at the ring on her finger and said, ¡°¡±You can choose to take it off. Anhao paused and took a step back. She covered her ring finger like a treasure. ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°So, Mrs. Zuo, what else do you have to say?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± Anhao pouted her lips and did not say anything for a long time. In the end, she still covered the ring and refused to take it off. She muttered,¡±lf you agree, then so be it. It¡¯s just a formality anyway. I won¡¯t lose a piece of meat.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled. Just when Anhao thought that he was about to walk over and hold her hand to kiss her like a prince kissing a princess, he walked over and leaned over to her ear, saying gently,¡±¡±All twenty cakes have been opened. Remember our previous agreement. You must eat every cake and not leave a single piece behind.¡± Anhao was about to be kissed, but her shy shy and expectant expression froze in an instant. She opened her eyes abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng turn around with a smile on his face, as if he had finally gotten his revenge. He turned around and walked towards the hotel entrance. Anhao stared at his back in a daze, then turned to look at the twenty cakes and the hotel staff who stood behind the cakes and witnessed everything. ¡°Did I say I wanted to eat these cakes? Did I say that?¡± The staff looked in her direction and snickered, but the group of people nodded as well. Even the foreigners standing around them did not understand, but they also nodded. F * ck, even a group of foreigners were involved! Anhao was furious. She lowered her head and looked at the ring on her finger and the set of jewelry that every woman in the world dreamed of. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she had accidentally fallen into the trap that Zuo Hancheng had arranged. ¡°I never said it before!¡± Anhao glared at them angrily. Those who were too full would be considered as work-related injuries, and Zuo Hancheng would be the one to reimburse them!¡± After saying that, Anhao turned around and fled the scene. In the end, Anhao ate the smallest of the 20-width delicious cakes by herself. The rest were distributed to the hotel staff and guests, sharing the unexpected sweetness and joy with everyone. And then.. Anhao thought that the so-called presidential suite would be waiting for her with a dream bed and a jacuzzis, but Zuo Hancheng drove her back to the company instead. Because there was a proposal in the company that needed his urgent review, he needed to finalize the case before returning home. So Anhao took some time to change into comfortable clothes and waited in the resting room of his office. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she had been hanging on the fence of the church for too long and had been blown by the cold wind a few hours ago, but her stomach felt uncomfortable. She rubbed her stomach while lying on the bed in the resting room and fiddling with the set of ¡® Heart¡¯s Favorite ¡± jewelry. It was indeed a set of jewelry that could be freely matched. Every diamond had a fixed size buckle behind it, and the style could be swapped. No matter how the design was, it looked as if it had been calculated by the designer beforehand. It looked good no matter what! Tsk, tsk, tsk, so you¡¯re like this, Gu Anhao! She said she wasn¡¯t vain, but now she was so excited by a set of limited edition jewelry that she couldn¡¯t sleep. Ahhhh, it was mainly because it was too perfect! Anhao rolled over on the bed, enjoying the pleasure of designing high-end jewelry while looking around. This was the place where Zuo Hancheng used to live in the United States. It was also the resting room next to the CEO¡¯s office. It was the same, and there were traces of him living here many years ago. Those memories belonged to Zuo Hancheng.. Chapter 303 - Chapter 303: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (2) Chapter 303: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (2) Translator: 549690339 What was Zuo Hancheng like five years ago? Obviously, Zuo Hancheng rarely took photos. Unless there were some occasions where he had no other choice, it was extremely difficult to find his photos. When she was in the Zuo family, Zuo Yue had only found some photos of Zuo Hancheng when he was young in the photo album. However, there were fewer and fewer photos of Zuo Hancheng after he was in his teens. The photos of him when he was young were the type of absolutely beautiful little boy that everyone loved. He gradually became more and more handsome, but when he became more and more handsome, there were fewer photos. According to Zuo Yue, Zuo Hancheng did not like to take photos. Even if everyone said how good-looking or handsome he was, it was like asking him if he had eaten dinner. He was not interested at all. After that, there was no more after that. After all, Zuo Yue was once very young and did not know much about her own brother. Anhao got up and walked around the room for a while. She saw a small cushion in front of the French window, so she walked over and casually picked up two books from the bookshelf beside her. She sat on the small cushion in front of the French window and looked down at the book. The contents of the book were about the analysis of American financial stocks. Anhao wasn¡¯t very interested, so she flipped through the book casually and was about to put it away. Suddenly, she looked down and saw a photo that had fallen from the book to her feet. It was a photo of Zuo Hancheng in a high school uniform that she had never seen before. In the photo, Zuo Hancheng looked like he was not even twenty years old. He was wearing a tailored male student uniform. He was tall and lean, standing in front of a group of people not far away. He looked like someone had taken a photo of him when he turned around. However, the people who were preparing to take a photo behind him had become his back. Zuo Hancheng, who had turned his head around by chance, became the subject of this photo. He was wearing a white and dark blue school uniform jacket. In the photo, he suddenly turned around and was captured. However, the hint of displeasure and indifference between his eyebrows was also captured. Just as Anhao had thought, if Zuo Hancheng were to go back ten years, he would definitely be a monster that would bring disaster to the country and the people. However, she did not expect him to be so monstrous! His hair had never been styled in a fashion that was popular nowadays, and he had never deliberately waxed it. It used to be clean and slightly fluffy, as if it had been washed a thousand times. It was clean and energetic, and he was so handsome that Anhao¡¯s eyes almost fell out. In the past, when she was in A High School, she wanted to hook up with any handsome guy she saw. It was true that she did not expect that in the end, she would end up with Zuo Hancheng, this demon! More importantly, after seeing this photo, she swore that there would never be another person who could catch her eve! When her husband was young, he was so, so, so, so handsome! Suddenly, there was a sound on the door of the lounge. Anhao instinctively looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng pushing the door open. His suit jacket was casually placed in his arms. When he entered the door, he saw her curled up in front of the French window. His handsome eyebrows raised slightly.¡±What are you looking at?¡± Alright, her husband used to be so handsome that even the gods would be angered by him. Now, he was just as unbelievably handsome. Time had not only added to his calmness and indifference, but also countless superior auras. It had also turned the demon who had once harmed the hearts of young girls into a king who could look down on the world just by standing there quietly. Zuo Hancheng saw through Anhao¡¯s infatuated expression. He took another look at the photo in her hand and walked over. He took the photo and looked at it. Then, he looked at her infatuated eyes and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Regretting not meeting me ten years earlier?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched as she suppressed the infatuation in her heart and said calmly,¡±¡±Stop being narcissistic. Ten years ago, I was still a little girl running around with braids. Unlike you, I¡¯ve already started to harm young girls everywhere.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and laughed.¡± Who did I harm?¡±¡± ¡± Then look, there are a few female students in the back row who are wearing the same student uniform as you. They are staring at you like wolves and tigers¡­ ¡± ¡°Where? Why can¡¯t I tell who¡¯s like a wolf or a tiger?¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled. Anhao¡¯s seriousness was immediately triggered. She stood up and moved closer to him. She pointed at the few rows of girls in the photo that he couldn¡¯t see clearly.¡±Then, it¡¯s these few. Look at their eyes. Their eyes are not as fierce as wolves and tigers. Do you think there¡¯s something wrong with my eyes¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already taken the opportunity to hug Anhao, who was tightly in his arms. Anhao was stunned and turned to look at him. Zuo Hancheng held her in his arms and said calmly, ¡°¡±1 can¡¯t tell.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± You can¡¯t even tell? Could it be that there were too many girls chasing you more than ten years ago? You can¡¯t remember which ones liked you or had a crush on you.. ¡°I can only see the ferocity in your eyes and smell the jealousy in the room.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he took the photo from her hand and threw it behind her. The photo floated to the ground behind them. The handsome and young Zuo Hancheng fell to the carpet with half of his face covered. Anhao was about to pick up the photo, but Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance at all. He pressed her against the French window and leaned forward to kiss her lips when she was about to struggle. Anhao stared at him in shock. He smiled with a dark gaze and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. This kiss made Anhao feel as if an electric current had run through her body. She froze for a moment and then turned her head to look at the floor-to-ceiling window behind her. She felt that behind her was the most exciting night in Los Angeles, the most dazzling neon lights.The warm chest in front of her had unknowingly been driven by the heat of the fire, causing her brain that had suddenly lost a string due to the moment of excitement to instantly come back to her senses. At this moment! She had actually taken the initiative to run to his resting room and was waiting for him silently. It was obvious that she had already stripped herself naked and sent herself to him! Especially when she looked up and met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she saw the deep thirst hidden under the gentleness in his eyes. Anhao suddenly felt her mouth go dry and her face was flushed red. She held it in for a long time before she said gloomily, ¡°Will this glass fall down¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes darkened because of her confused words.. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±You want to try it here?¡± Chapter 304 - Chapter 304: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (3) Chapter 304: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Try your head. There¡¯s a good bed and you¡¯re not using it. I was afraid that my back would hurt from being pressed!¡± Anhao retorted. She almost bit off her own tongue when she retorted. The bed! She was actually talking about the bed! Obviously, Zuo Hancheng understood her ¡®hint¡¯. With a meaningful smile, he kissed the corner of her mouth again.¡±The little wild cat is always following the rules at times like this. Don¡¯t worry, we have a long life ahead of us.¡± ¡® Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve changed¡­¡± Anhao suddenly blushed and said nothing. She was suddenly pressed down on the floor-to-ceiling window by him. She felt as if her body was about to be forced out of the window by him. The solid pressure did not make her feel suffocated at all. Instead, it made her heart beat faster and faster. Their bodies were tightly pressed together, as if their heartbeats were connected. Anhao swallowed her saliva. She was not a timid girl, but when she saw the bright lights behind her, she felt that if she really did that with Zuo Hancheng here, what if others saw her? She could feel that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s passion was not going to decrease tonight, and he did not intend to let her go like before. After all, although the so-called first time between the two of them was not very happy, at least they had broken through the last line between husband and wife. After experiencing so much these days, the wall in her heart had long collapsed. Although Anhao was a little nervous and nervous, she also had a faint expectation and desire in her heart. Zuo Hancheng obviously knew about the change in her state of mind, so he had always been giving her leeway. When he hugged her and kissed her tonight, it was so hot that Anhao¡¯s whole body was almost burning up. Her hand did not resist, and she carefully and slowly raised it to caress his waist. Sensing her response, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze burned Anhao like fire. The night was beautiful and quiet, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, which were usually warm and gentle, were burning with a different kind of passion. The neon lights outside the window and the dim lights in the resting room shone on their faces, making them feel dizzy. It was as if there were only the two of them in this vast world. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was on her waist, and Anhao was almost intoxicated by his long and hot kiss. Anhao could clearly feel that in the depths of her heart and body, the countless desires that Zuo Hancheng had aroused were slowly spreading uncontrollably¡­ It wasn¡¯t that they didn¡¯t love each other in the past. They were just too worried and afraid of losing each other after getting it. However, now, how could two people who loved each other be willing to push each other away when they were intimate? Anhao¡¯s gaze swept over the ring on her finger and her eyes instantly lit up with a smile. However, Zuo Hancheng felt that this scene was even more erotic. The little girl in his arms was blushing slightly. She was panting from the kiss, but she was secretly laughing. She was like a delicate flower that had just bloomed and only bloomed in his arms. Zuo Hancheng closed his eyes, thinking that he could control himself. However, there was only one thought in his mind at that moment. His hand had already followed this thought, and he held her waist firmly. He wanted to take her away from the window and directly bring this little thing to the bed to make up for all the ¡± debts ¡± that they had owed her since they were married for so long. Anhao suddenly blushed in his arms and said sullenly, ¡°¡±You¡¯ve just finished your work and must be very tired. Can you give me time to take a shower? You can also take a break.¡± ¡°Are you doubting your husband¡¯s stamina?¡± Zuo Hancheng pinched her waist and planted a kiss on her neck. Anhao panted softly and said with a blushed face,¡±¡±l was running around in the sea of flowers behind the church. I might have gotten some pollen on my body and felt that my legs were a little itchy. I wanted to wash them off¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her ear again and he said in a warm and husky voice,¡±¡±Shower together?¡± ¡°No, don¡¯t you have a resting room in your office? Go over there and give me some time to prepare.¡±Anhao mustered up her courage and told him the truth, ¡®¡±¡®1 ate an entire cake just now, and my stomach is still uncomfortably full. Give me some time¡­ Just for a while¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and kissed her on the lips again before finally letting go of her. It was obvious that he had agreed. However, he casually picked up Anhao¡¯s phone from the cabinet beside her, turned it off, and threw it aside. Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. He was really not going to let her off tonight. Even the phone that often interrupted them was completely banned. Anhao pretended not to notice these small details and turned around to rush into the bathroom. She heard that Zuo Hancheng had also gone to the other lounge to take a shower not long after. She leaned against the bathroom and rubbed her stomach for a long time. She clearly wanted it very much, but why did her stomach hurt for some reason? Could it be that he really ate too much just now¡­ If it was really because she had eaten too much and caused her to feel uncomfortable, then she would definitely settle the score with Zuo Hancheng tomorrow morning! She had no choice but to go to the toilet. However, when she felt a familiar burning sensation, Anhao¡¯s eyes froze. She slowly took out a tissue and wiped it¡­ This was definitely the first time in Anhao¡¯s life that she hated her period so much! She was the one who wanted to enjoy a normal life with Zuo Hancheng today, alright?! She was mentally and physically prepared to fight with her husband. But the result was¡­ F * ck¡­Big! Aunt! Mother! He visited today! Counting the days, her period had come three days earlier this month. Could it be that she was frightened by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forceful sex the last time, or that some physiological change had caused her hormones to go haywire? Her period, which had always been punctual, had come earlier than usual! Anhao took a slow shower and took out the sanitary pad from the bag on the wall. She was going to use it three days later. She washed it clean and changed it from head to toe. Then, she walked out slowly like a snail. At that time, Zuo Hancheng had already finished showering. He was sitting on the big bed outside her bathroom with a glass of water in his hand, quietly waiting for her to take the initiative to come to him. In the end, Anhao walked out slowly. She was about to put on an apologetic expression and explain this awkward situation. She did not know how to explain herself to avoid Zuo Hancheng¡¯s strangling action later¡­ However, before she could say anything, Zuo Hancheng had already put down the glass in his hand and looked at her.. Chapter 305 - Chapter 305: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (4) Chapter 305: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (4) Translator: 549690339 However, before she could say anything, Zuo Hancheng had already put down the glass in his hand and looked at her. Anhao met his gaze and was instantly terrified. She could only grin. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng thought that she was feeling embarrassed. He patted the seat beside him with great satisfaction and patience, signaling for her to sit there. Well, it was better to sit over and chat. It was much better than standing here stiffly like a primary school student accepting punishment. Anhao made up her mind and walked over. Just as she was about to sit down in front of Zuo Hancheng, her waist suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng did not give her any time to start her speech. Anhao felt the world spinning in front of her and she was instantly pressed into the soft bed. She was about to speak when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s long and gentle kiss pressed down on her. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Anhao wanted to make a sound, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was already on her body, until his lips and tongue were buried in the collar of her messy bathrobe. His hand was also on her body, and the strength of his grip made Anhao¡¯s breathing quicken. For a moment, she almost forgot about her period. Furthermore, when Zuo Hancheng looked at her, she could clearly see the desire in his eyes, which was clearly imprinted in her heart. He wanted her. Completely, perfectly, and in a way that allowed them to have each other. There would be no more hiding, no more pain, and no more harm. It was the simplest, most direct, and purest way to want her. Anhao could feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intense desire. Because his waist had only moved slightly forward, the burning sensation between the two of them was unprecedentedly clear. She immediately looked at him with a red face. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile was a little mischievous. He lowered his head and stared into her eyes, his gaze deep and threatening. This method of communication that didn¡¯t require any words made Anhao¡¯s entire body burn. His arm pulled her up and she was completely pressed into the bed by him. She was trapped in his arms, as if she was only owned by him. His lips pressed against hers again, and his eyes were as dark as an endless abyss. It was as it his rationality could no longer be suppressed when he walked into the lounge and saw her sitting in front of the French window staring at him from ten years ago. Everything was out of the restraints of reason. Anhao could feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s anxiety and madness. When his hand untied her bathrobe and reached down to the only shelter on her lower body, Anhao suddenly closed her legs tightly. He raised his eyebrows slightly because of her sudden resistance. He used his eyes to mock her useless resistance at this moment. The fire in his eyes could not be blocked. Anhao¡¯s head was buzzing. Although she was a woman, it didn¡¯t mean that women¡¯s desires were not as strong as men¡¯s at this time. She was also suppressing her pain now, okay? She really wished that she could just fight a bloody battle like this! However, when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fingers caressing a soft barrier beneath her underwear, she felt a hint of hesitation and surprise in his eyes. Anhao immediately pulled the back of her shirt to cover her face, afraid that she would be slapped in the face! ¡°I¡­ I wanted to tell you when I came out just now¡­¡± She stammered,¡±l¡¯m on my period¡­¡± The surroundings suddenly became eerily quiet. Anhao waited for a while before she quietly moved the blanket over her head away. She saw that Zuo Hancheng did not leave, but was staring at her with his entire body tensed up like iron. She grinned awkwardly. I didn¡¯t know before¡­ Just now in the bathroom. Suddenly¡­ Just¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and was calmer than she had expected. Tsk, could it be that this man¡¯s anger came and went quickly today? He actually didn¡¯t want to strangle her to death? Feeling that she was safe, Anhao slowly sat up and tidied her bathrobe. She smiled at Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting quietly by the bed. ¡°Next time then¡­ ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked calm, but from his low and hoarse voice, it was clear that he was still angry. There were a few traces of blood at the bottom of his eyes. It was obvious that he was either too angry to bear it or was tortured by her to the point of self-destruction. But there was really no other way¡­ Her period. She couldn¡¯t refuse an old friend¡¯s sudden visit! He couldn¡¯t push her away! ¡°Huh?¡± She looked up guiltily. ¡°I used to think that you were sent by the heavens to jinx me.¡±¡±Later on, I realized that it wasn¡¯t the case,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± ¡°What?¡± An Hao was stunned. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng had suffered a serious shock, and his lower body had been too stifled, causing his brain to explode. To deal with a tricky woman like you, only one move was enough.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was still calm. Anhao was surprised, still in a state of confusion. However, in the next second, Zuo Hancheng, who had been sitting calmly by the bed, suddenly pressed her back onto the bed. He continued to kiss her passionately and without end. He even stripped her clothes off completely. Apart from the last step, he did almost everything. Anhao was so aroused that she almost begged Zuo Hancheng to accompany her in a bloody battle! However, just as Anhao took the initiative to hug him, kiss him, and even nibble on his lips, Zuo Hancheng suddenly left her body. Anhao¡¯s body, which was originally burning hot, was now cold. She was stunned for a moment and suddenly sat up to look at Zuo Hancheng. He calmly adjusted his bathrobe. Just as Anhao was about to feel the same as if she had been drugged, he said,¡±¡±l¡¯ll give you a taste of your own medicine.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he, the left BOSS, actually left directly. Only Anhao was left sitting on the bed in a daze, feeling the feeling of having sex but being powerless¡­ F * ck! She had fallen into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s trap again! In the middle of the night, Anhao finally managed to suppress the unbearable thirst in her body. She changed into thin and comfortable clothes and curled up under the blanket, planning to sleep early. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the bed beside her suddenly caved in. She felt something as cold as ice beside her, so cold that she suddenly woke up. She turned around in a daze and saw that Zuo Hancheng had returned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you went to take a cold shower again¡­¡± Otherwise, why is your body so cold? Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and covered them with the blanket. When Anhao looked at him in confusion, he lowered his head and nibbled on her ear.¡±How many days?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao was stunned. Zuo Hancheng bit her ear again as if punishing her. She suddenly realized that he was asking her how long her period would last. Anhao was secretly amused.. She turned around and obediently curled up in his arms, saying softly,¡±¡±About five days¡­¡¯ Chapter 306 - Chapter 306: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (5) Chapter 306: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (5) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng let out a long sigh. He patted her head as if he was comforting her and himself. However, the pat was a little heavy, as if he really wanted to kill him. In the end, Zuo Hancheng bit her lips and said, ¡®¡±¡®1¡¯11 give you five more days. Little vixen, just you wait.¡± Sleeping in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s company until the sun was high was a blissful thing. Most importantly, she was still in his arms when she woke up. When Anhao opened her eyes, she thought that everything that had happened yesterday was just a dream. However, when she opened her eyes, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome face right in front of her. She raised her hand quietly and looked at the ring on her ring finger. She held back her laughter in case she accidentally burst into laughter. Anhao looked up and saw the sleepiness and fatigue in his eyes when he woke up. She knew that he hadn¡¯t slept well last night when he hugged her. She felt a little apologetic.¡±l¡¯m sorry. I really didn¡¯t know that my period would suddenly visit last night¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and pinched her. Anhao frantically protected her clothes. Suddenly, she turned around and shouted,¡±¡±Aiya, wait¡­ Wait a minute¡­ Ah, ah, ah, it seems like it¡¯s going to leak out¡­ Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment because of the unfamiliar adjective ¡°side leakage¡± and looked down at her. Anhao took advantage of the moment when he stopped and quickly got off the bed and rushed into the bathroom. She took a shower, put on her clothes, and changed her menstrual towel in fifteen minutes. After she was done cleaning up, Anhao walked out with a smile on her face and a mouthful of toothpaste in her mouth. However, she saw Zuo Hancheng lazing around in bed for the first time. He was still lying on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned. His lazy posture made Anhao, who had already calmed down, swallow her saliva and walk towards the bed. Hearing her approaching footsteps, Zuo Hancheng did not even lift his head as he turned over and lay on the bed. His head was buried in the pillow and he did not move. Anhao saw his state and guessed the reason. She stretched out her cold little hand to poke his shoulder. Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to grab her hand when he was poked, but he did not pull her down forcefully. He only held her hand for about ten seconds before he turned around and looked at her with undisguised fatigue in his eyes. ¡°Last night¡­Don¡¯t tell me you really didn¡¯t sleep the entire night¡­¡± Anhao had no choice but to lean down and ask as her hand was held by the bed. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s slender fingers caressed the ring on her ring finger as he said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±What do you think?¡± Alright, he knew the answer just by looking at his state. However, it was rare for Zuo Hancheng to be so lazy and look so haggard and pitiful. It really made people want to pounce on his back and bully him! Anhao held back her laughter. When Anhao was once again pressed down by Zuo Hancheng, he just froze on top of her. Anhao knew that he wouldn¡¯t dare to mess around anymore. She only dared to seduce him and bully him because she had her period as a shield. Seeing that he didn¡¯t move, Anhao smiled cunningly. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, wanting to kiss him again. Zuo Hancheng held her head firmly and stopped her from moving. At the same time, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear, ¡°¡±lf this continues, I will die in your hands sooner or later..¡± Chapter 307 - Chapter 307: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (6) Chapter 307: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (6) Translator: 549690339 In order to prevent herself from dying in Gu Anhao¡¯s hands so early, Zuo Hancheng simply stood up and grabbed the tie by the bed to tie her hands and feet. Anhao laughed and struggled, but she could not win against his strength. It was only when Zuo Hancheng tied her up tightly and made her lie on the bed obediently that he finally got rid of this little vixen who was lawless because of her period¡¯s protection. He turned around and went into the bathroom. When Zuo Hancheng came out of the bathroom, Anhao was still lying on the bed with her tie tied. She was still looking at him with a sly smile. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lower body was only wrapped in a bath towel, and there were still water droplets dripping down his upper body. It was so sexy. Seeing him holding a towel in one hand to wipe his dripping black hair as he walked out, Anhao threw a few flirtatious glances in his direction. The main thing was that her husband was too good-looking and had a great figure. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have turned a blind eye to it when he passed by the bed. He casually threw the towel and covered Anhao¡¯s face with it. Anhao was embarrassed. She struggled for a while before she threw the towel away. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already gone to the rest room next door to change his clothes. She rolled around on the bed with a smile and finally realized that she had become Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Achilles ¡®heel. He was actually starting to be afraid of her, hahahahaha! However, her smug mood did not last long before Anhao realized that something was wrong. Judging from the time, Zuo Hancheng should have changed his clothes long ago. He should be able to come over and untie her, right? However, time passed by slowly. He had already left the resting room for more than half an hour, but he still hadn¡¯t returned. Occasionally, the sound of company staff passing by could be heard from outside. There were voices of alternating Chinese and English conversations. It seemed that someone was saying that President Zuo had personally gone to XX¡¯s R & D department to conduct a surprise attack review. Anhao gritted her teeth angrily. Zuo Hancheng had tied her up here and made her unable to move. Then, he went to work! It was impossible for him to say that he had forgotten about her! She had actually been taken revenge again.. Anhao wanted to cry but had no tears. She rolled around on the bed and wanted to get out of bed, but she had never seen Zuo Hancheng tie her hands and feet with a tie. There was nothing by the bed that could untie her. Anhao tried to remove the tie, but the quality of the tie was too good. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t remove it. There were no knives or scissors beside it. She couldn¡¯t just roll to the door and knock on it to ask for help. If the staff knew that she was tied up by Zuo Hancheng with a tie, she would be so embarrassed that she would be sent overseas! Time passed by. Anhao lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep. However, because she was hungry, she couldn¡¯t sleep well. She turned around and suddenly smelled the fragrance of braised pork ribs. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a Chinese takeout box on the cabinet beside the bed. She was so hungry that she almost pounced on him. She blinked her eyes and saw that Zuo Hancheng had returned. He was sitting on the armchair by the bed and reading a report. ¡°You¡¯re already back. Can¡¯t you help me undo my tie?¡±Anhao tilted her head and looked at him, feeling wronged. Zuo Hancheng raised his gaze from the report and glanced at her calmly.¡±¡±l think you slept quite comfortably.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Then you can still tie me up for five days?¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I really plan to tie you up for five days. After five days, we¡¯ll talk about it after vour period is over.¡± Hearing such an inhumane answer, Anhao almost jumped up. However, she couldn¡¯t get up after using all her strength. In the end, she could only use emotion to reason with him. ¡°Alright, I know it¡¯s my fault that I seduced you after my period, causing you to not have a good night¡¯s rest. But I can¡¯t do anything about this kind of physiological problem¡­ Zuo Hancheng flipped through the report in his hand and ignored her. Anhao¡¯s face twitched.¡± What? Aren¡¯t we flying back to China in a few days?¡± If you really tie me up for five days, how am I going to eat, go to the toilet, and celebrate my birthday in the Zuo family? Also, are you going to tie me up and take me to the plane?¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her words. Clearly, he had failed to persuade her with emotion and reason. Anhao was helpless. She was really tortured by the smell of the braised pork ribs by the bed. She could not stand it anymore, so she rubbed her head against the bed and stretched her neck to sniff the ribs. In the end, she could only choose the worst option, which was to pretend to be pitiful. ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored him. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m so hungry¡­¡± ¡°You can¡¯t bully me like this. I¡¯m suffering from menstrual cramps right now, and my whole body is uncomfortable. You still tied me up for so long. Not only did you starve me, but you even gave me mental torture. You let me smell the braised pork ribs but didn¡¯t let me eat them¡­¡± Anhao said as she tried to squeeze out her tears, but she couldn¡¯t. However, it was obvious that her ploy to hurt herself had worked. Zuo Hancheng put down the report in his hand and walked over. He opened the lunch box on the bedside table. The fragrance of the braised pork ribs completely stimulated Anhao¡¯s taste buds. She smacked her lips and looked at him pitifully. ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°Want to eat?¡± Zuo Hancheng picked up a piece of pork rib and glanced at her. Anhao nodded vigorously. Zuo Hancheng smiled and brought the pork ribs to her mouth with his chopsticks. Anhao was about to raise her head to take a bite, but he only lifted his hand slightly and she missed him. Anhao¡¯s head suddenly fell to the side of the bedside table, and she glared at the man who was putting the ribs back into the lunch box with a sad expression. ¡® Zuo Hancheng, you shameless pervert! You¡¯re a sadist, a devil, a stinky egg, a stinky turtle, a bastard.. Zuo Hancheng nodded calmly and turned back to look at the report. When Anhao saw this, she quickly turned around and shouted, ¡°¡±Hey! If the ribs get cold, they won¡¯t be able to eat anymore! Just tell me what you want me to do! If you keep hanging me like this, I¡¯ll really starve to death!¡± ¡°Say something nice.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at the report. Instead, he picked up Anhao¡¯s phone and casually flipped through it. The most recent photo album on her phone was filled with photos of the scenery in Los Angeles, but they were only a few random photos of the places she had been to in the past few days. He quietly put down his phone and looked back at Anhao, who was racking her brains to find a good way to please him.¡±¡±Do you want to take a look around Los Angeles before returning to China?¡± ¡°Alright, alright. But the prerequisite is that you let me go first and let you eat the ribs, okay?¡± Anhao pursed her lips and looked at him. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was unmoved, she closed her eyes and said loudly, ¡°¡±When my period leaves in five days, I¡¯ll definitely perform well! I swear!¡± Chapter 308 - Chapter 308: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (7) Chapter 308: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (7) Translator: 549690339 Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was unmoved, she closed her eyes and said loudly, ¡°¡±When my period leaves in five days, I¡¯ll definitely perform well! I swear!¡± ¡°How?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s interest was piqued. He glanced at her indifferently. ¡°Just¡­l just have to do my best to perform as well as I can¡­¡± Anhao stammered. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure. I¡¯m a hundred times sure. I¡¯m ten thousand times sure. Just let me go. I¡¯m starving. My hands are numb.¡±Anhao continued to beg for mercy. However, Zuo Hancheng still felt that it was not enough. He looked at her calmly and said, ¡°Are we going to sleep in separate rooms or in the same room after we return?¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± ¡°What about your newly renovated bedroom?¡±He glanced at her. ¡°Empty¡­¡± She continued to pout her lips. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was still unmoved, she decided to be ruthless.¡±ln the future, treat it as a children¡¯s room!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression changed. He looked at her again and said,¡¯¡±If you can¡¯t keep your word, Gu Anhao, I have many ways to make you taste the consequences of breaking your promise.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back on my words, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Anhao almost smashed her head on the pillow. When Anhao finally regained her freedom, she quickly sat up, picked up the lunch box, and started eating the ribs. The temperature of the ribs was just right. It was not hot or cold, and the meat was just right. She licked her lips and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng sitting calmly at the side and picking up the report that he had yet to finish reading. Anhao picked up a piece of rib and brought it to his mouth.¡±Then, you were so rude to me just now, but I still miss you. You went to work after you woke up just now and only came back now. You must not have eaten yet, right? Then, let¡¯s eat together.¡± As she spoke, she looked at the report in his hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t always say that I¡¯m heartless. I already have a conscience. If I really didn¡¯t have a conscience, I wouldn¡¯t have come to America with you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have the ability to run too far.¡±Zuo Hancheng raised his eyes, and the teasing look in his eyes was replaced by his usual cold and calm expression.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, once you have the ability to leave a city in an instant, only you know how desperate you will be.¡± Anhao licked the grease on her lips again and blinked without saying anything. ¡°That was a misunderstanding. It won¡¯t happen again.¡±She said seriously while looking at him.¡¯¡±¡®Really, I won¡¯t run away again before I figure out the truth. It¡¯s because of some things that happened when I was young that caused my personality to be habitually rebellious and escape. I really know my mistake¡­¡± As she spoke, she brought the pork ribs to his mouth again.¡±Just eat one piece. Let¡¯s forget about this matter, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not eat. He raised his hand and gently pressed her hand down. When he looked at her, his clear eyes were calm and gentle.¡±Anhao, we¡¯re husband and wife. Do you really know what a husband and wife are?¡± Anhao pursed her lips and nodded. ¡°No matter what kind of past I have, no matter how much exaggerated or groundless news you hear from others, as long as it¡¯s not said by me, it might not be true. When we look at each other from the perspective of a husband and wife, we first need trust and loyalty, then we need understanding and mutual support. You¡¯re not a child, so you should know what I¡¯m saying.¡± Anhao nodded. ¡°You don¡¯t have to just nod your head. I know what you¡¯re thinking. Don¡¯t think that you¡¯ll always be a rebellious and willful child. I¡¯m not reasoning with you. I¡¯m just stating the simplest truth to you.¡± ¡°What truth?¡± ¡°You asked me in the car the other day if I was serious.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and said softly.¡± His voice paused for a moment, and his black eyes stared into her clear eyes.¡±Gu Anhao, this isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯m telling you this, but it will be the last time. I hope you can remember it clearly. I¡¯m very serious about our marriage.¡± No sweet nothings could compare to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s seriousness. He really understood her too well. He knew that she had always been feeling guilty and uneasy. He knew what she was most afraid of and what she really needed now. It wasn¡¯t a particularly grand proposal, but it was so meticulous that it couldn¡¯t be picked on. The word ¡®serious¡¯ made Anhao¡¯s nose turn sour. She lowered her head to eat the ribs silently, then raised her head to look at Zuo Hancheng. His gaze remained on her, deep and quiet. She suddenly grinned and pointed at her own mouth. Then, she pouted and closed her eyes. Seeing her action, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°I was waiting for you to stamp it.¡± Anhao pouted and closed her eyes. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows moved. In the end, he sighed and smiled as he pulled a tissue to wipe off the oil stains on her mouth. He did not kiss her and said, ¡°¡±Eat your ribs and stop arguing with me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also very serious.¡± Anhao was too embarrassed to admit it. She lowered her head and continued to eat the ribs. However, Zuo Hancheng still heard her voice. He looked at her, and his lips curled into a satisfied and warm smile. Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t come over to eat a piece even after Anhao had finished her pork ribs. When she asked him about it later, he said that he had eaten a few mouthfuls in the company¡¯s cafeteria after the meeting and was not hungry now. Anhao had no choice but to finish the entire bowl of ribs by herself. After that, Zuo Hancheng was busy in the office for the whole morning. Anhao changed her clothes and waited quietly in his office. She was flipping through an English magazine, but the words that Zuo Hancheng said to her kept flashing in her mind. If she had enough ability, would she really run to a place where he could not find her when she wanted to escape? Was she really someone who would make such a decision? She was so determined that Zuo Hancheng would use such a method to warn her. Anhao quietly looked up at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was looking at some numbers that she could not understand on the screen in the office. At the same time, the voice of an English recording echoed in the office. However, when Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting calmly behind his desk, she suddenly realized that no matter what kind of noise or waves were around her, as long as Zuo Hancheng was by her side, their world would be peaceful and harmonious. Zuo Hancheng was busy all the way until the afternoon when he finally left the company with Anhao and started his car. Anhao only knew that he seemed to be planning to bring her around Los Angeles so that she wouldn¡¯t waste her time here. She didn¡¯t know where he was going to take her first, but now she felt that as long as Zuo Hancheng was by her side, she would be happy wherever she went.. Chapter 309 - Chapter 309: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (8) Chapter 309: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (8) Translator: 549690339 She knew that Zuo Hancheng would never bring her to Los Angeles¡¯s Orlando and Universal Studios. He had actually brought her to the Hearst Castle. Standing in front of the Mediterranean Revival-style building and looking at the building that had the shadow of Spain, Anhao felt that she had been cultivated. When she followed Zuo Hancheng inside to look at the art collection, Anhao finally understood what it meant to be an eye-opener. This was much more profound and knowledgeable than her expectations of going to Orlando and Universal Studios to see movie stars. Furthermore, Hearst Castle was located on a hill on the San Simeon coast. It was the most expensive private villa building in the United States. Anhao walked on the mountain and looked back at the sea not far away. She finally understood why Zuo Hancheng had brought her here. Standing there, they could smell the cool sea breeze that didn¡¯t feel cold. They could feel the quiet atmosphere of the west. There were many villas scattered in the distance. When the two of them drove here, it was already dark. There was no point in going down the mountain now, so they stayed here tonight. The largest villa in front of them was where the two of them would be staying tonight. However, Anhao didn¡¯t want to sleep at all. She was enjoying the sea breeze on the mountain and breathing in the scent of freedom. She had never felt this way in so many years. She felt so happy that she was about to float. Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder. Zuo Hancheng put his coat over her shoulder. ¡°When are we leaving tomorrow?¡± Anhao turned to look at him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you. If you like this place, you can continue to enjoy it for another day. If you want to go somewhere else, you can leave tomorrow morning.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he held her little hand. He felt that her hand was a little cold, so he did not ask her anything and directly led her in the direction of the villa. ¡°I still want to stay there and watch the sea for a while¡­¡± Anhao followed him passively. ¡°If you like the sea, I¡¯ll take you to Santa Monica tomorrow. Aren¡¯t you afraid of a stomachache in the wind now?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao was indeed a little cold, but she was too playful to go back to rest. After hearing what he said, she remembered that she was still on her period, so she could only obediently follow him back to the villa. The villa was not as peaceful as she had imagined. There was an orchestra performing in another villa nearby, and in their villa, there were a few young musicians playing very nice light music. The dining table in the middle of the villa¡¯s living room was actually filled with all kinds of western dishes and candles that she liked. Anhao stood at the door in surprise and muttered, ¡°¡±1f you knew there would be a candlelight dinner, you would have called me in earlier!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°I¡¯m a realistic person. If you had told me that there was a candlelight dinner here earlier, I would have come in long ago. Why would I still stand there in the cold wind?¡±Anhao walked over excitedly as she spoke. She smiled as she sat down at the dining table. When she saw the helpless and indulgent look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, she felt even more delighted. It was so blissful to have such a husband. Anhao picked up the knife and fork and knew that Zuo Hancheng had asked someone to prepare this for her. There were no outsiders here anyway, and the violinists would not do anything to her, so she started eating. ¡± I didn¡¯t expect the western food here to be so delicious. It¡¯s even better than the one you took me to eat at before.¡±¡± ¡°If you like it, eat some of everything. But remember not to hurt your stomach.¡±Zuo Hancheng poured her a glass of red wine. Anhao raised her head and took a sip of the red wine that Big Boss Zuo had poured for her. Her face was blushing with happiness. She took another sip of wine and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s quiet and handsome figure sitting opposite her. ¡°Did you come here often?¡± she asked as she drank. This was the first time she was allowed to drink so freely in front of Zuo Hancheng. However, this red wine was obviously of the highest quality. Although she could not taste it, she was careful to only take a small sip at a time so as not to embarrass herself here when she was drunk. ¡°Occasionally.¡± Zuo Hancheng also picked up the wine glass in front of him and gently swirled the red, fragrant liquid inside.¡±¡±When I was in the United States, I had some unavoidable social gatherings here. Other than social gatherings, this is the first time I¡¯ve come here as a leisurely tourist.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t had the time to come out for a walk?¡± Anhao suddenly asked. Could it be that every time he came out, it was only for social gatherings?¡± ¡°Almost.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. ¡°Aiya, there¡¯s nothing good about rich people. They don¡¯t have free time at all. I thought that I often saw rich people at many high-end events because they didn¡¯t lack money and could enjoy themselves as much as I wanted.¡±Anhao smacked her lips emotionally. ¡°The higher one stands. the greater the responsibility. It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no time, but that there¡¯s no one to accompany.¡± After Zuo Hancheng said that, he smiled at Anhao, who looked flattered.¡±¡±Anhao, your thorn is gone.¡± ¡°What?¡± Anhao was immersed in her romance when she suddenly heard him say that. She subconsciously glanced at the ground. In the next moment, she looked at him in shock.¡±What thorn? Where was the thorn? What dropped?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark and calm eyes had a faint luster, but he did not say anything. Anhao looked at her in confusion for a while before she finally understood. He remembered that he had once said that she was like a little hedgehog, not allowing anyone to hurt her again, so whenever someone might hurt her, she would first use the thorns on her body to stab the other party. She was the hedgehog in his mouth, but now, because of him, she was gradually removing the thorns from her body. What he meant was that she had been touched to the point of losing a thorn. This man¡­ This kind of black-bellied man was really gentle and dangerous. Every time Anhao fell in love with him, she became more nervous. But he was serious, and so was she¡­ She smacked her lips and said indifferently, ¡°So be it. I have you anyway.¡± Under the candlelight, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with a sense of warmth. Anhao seemed to have just realized how lucky she was to have met Zuo Hancheng in this place, and how lucky she was to have met Zuo Hancheng in her rash actions. If it wasn¡¯t for this man¡¯s appearance, perhaps she would still be a small lump of mud in the ground, thrown around by people. No one would care to pick her up and discover her true self hidden in the mud. She looked at Zuo Hancheng. His exquisite features were as polished as a knife. He sat there quietly, elegant and elegant, but he had a temperament that attracted everyone¡¯s attention. A man like Zuo Hancheng¡­ If it was anyone else, they would not be willing to let go, even if it was her.. If anyone dared to snatch her husband now, she would definitely be the first to take out a knife and smash those little bitches! Chapter 310 - Chapter 310: Zuo Hancheng’s Male Beauty (9) Chapter 310: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Male Beauty (9) Translator: 549690339 It was already noon when they arrived at Santa Monica Beach the next day. It was already the warmest time of the day, but because it wasn¡¯t summer, Anhao couldn¡¯t go to the beach to play with the water. However, just walking here for a while made her feel refreshed and satisfied. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng had thoughtfully prepared a baby warmer for her when she got back to the car. At that time, Anhao was still wondering how he knew that women needed to use this thing during their period. Although Zuo Hancheng did not tell her at that time, Anhao still found out about it from others. Zuo Hancheng had specially called a female friend in America who had a good personal relationship with him. Of course, they were just friends. After asking about some related information, he prepared a warm baby and a cup of brown sugar ginger tea for her when she went to the beach to enjoy the sea breeze. Anhao sat in the car and drank the brown sugar ginger tea obediently without saying anything else. The two of them looked out of the car together. The afternoon sun shone down on the beach. It was indescribably beautiful. Anhao had just walked on the beach for a while and was already tired. However, when she looked at the beach in front of her, she smiled again. ¡°Thank you.¡± Zuo Hancheng could not help but glance at the little girl who had been standing there excitedly for the past two days.¡±¡±Thank you for what?¡± ¡°Thank you for giving me a perfect experience when I went abroad for the first time. It wasn¡¯t just the regret of being scolded by the old man in the Zuo family.¡±Anhao said meaningfully. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the only person in this world who can point at you and scold you, but you don¡¯t resist, is the old master.¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Anhao¡¯s temper flared up when she heard this.¡¯¡±¡® If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he¡¯s your grandfather, I wouldn¡¯t have tolerated him bullying me like this. I¡¯ve suffered so much in the Gu family for so many years. Now that Gu Shishi and Gu Tianming are standing in front of me, I want to give them a few slaps. Even if I can¡¯t hit them, I can still scold them until their faces turn red and their necks turn red. But on the old master¡¯s side¡­l¡¯ll¡­ Anhao pursed her lips.¡± You¡¯re going back to the Zuo family tonight. You¡¯re going back to China tomorrow, right?¡±¡± ¡°Just now, you were still angry because of Grandpa. Now, you can¡¯t bear to part with him?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled. Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± At this point, Anhao suddenly smiled and said, ¡°It seems that I have never felt the true love of parents, and I never thought that I could call someone mom one day. But in the Zuo family, I am willing.¡± ¡°There aren¡¯t many people who can match up to my mother¡¯s taste. You did it unintentionally and scolded me in front of her over the phone, which made her choose you as her daughter-in-law.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and drove away from the beach. He drove to the road in the distance.¡±To be able to pamper Zuo Yue to such a degree, you should be able to guess what kind of personality your mother-in-law has.¡± ¡°Although she spoils Zuo Yue, she spoils me too. Anyway, I must completely occupy your Zuo family and make it my base. One old man is not a problem. I can definitely make him acknowledge me as his granddaughter-in-law.¡± When the car arrived outside the Zuo family¡¯s house and entered the unbelievably large Zuo family¡¯s house, Anhao¡¯s hopes and aspirations for the past two days were slightly restored. As soon as she walked into the inner courtyard, she saw the old man sitting on the rocking chair and playing with the birds. She swallowed her saliva and planned to sneak back into the room before he saw her. She would be mentally prepared before coming out to see him. Seeing that Anhao had completely forgotten about what she had said earlier, Zuo Hancheng smiled and allowed her to go back to her room to change her clothes before she went to face the old man alone. After all, Zuo Hancheng was the grandson of the old man, so nothing would happen to him. The old man seemed to be afraid that Zuo Hancheng would leave home for another five years and not come back, so Anhao was not worried about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s situation. He had always been confident in everything. Even if it was such a difficult old man, he did not deliberately make things difficult for her because of her face. Of course, she was not worried about him. She was worried about herself now¡­ When she ran back to the bedroom to go to the bathroom, she found a new pack of sanitary pads in her suitcase. However, she only took out one piece. Before she could close the suitcase, Zuo Yue suddenly barged in. Zuo Yue saw the sanitary pads in her luggage and saw Anhao coming out of the bathroom. She said in surprise,¡¯¡±¡®Sister-in-law, do you still use this when you¡¯re pregnant¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She quickly walked forward and pulled Zuo Yue¡¯s hand to sit by the bed. She raised her hand to her mouth and made a shushing gesture. Zuo Yue¡¯s face was filled with surprise, but she heard the sound of a servant walking past outside. She lowered her voice and pointed at her stomach, ¡°¡±Don¡¯t tell me you¡­¡± Anhao smiled awkwardly and continued to look at him with a pleading expression. She whispered, This is what Zuo Hancheng had to do to prevent the old man from kicking me out on the first day. You know that I wasn¡¯t pregnant before you returned to America. It hasn¡¯t been long. How could I be pregnant so soon?¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, you¡¯re the best. You won¡¯t tell Dad, Mom, and Grandpa, right?¡±Anhao held her hand. She felt that she was about to leave the United States, but before she left, she actually messed up her act. She was really annoyed. Zuo Yue looked at Anhao¡¯s stomach unhappily.¡±¡±Even if I talk a lot about my brother¡¯s marriage when I return to the country, I definitely won¡¯t tell anyone about it. Grandpa is a stubborn old man. He still treats you so badly even though he knows that you¡¯re pregnant. If I didn¡¯t use the method of pregnancy to temporarily shut him up, he might have treated you badly.¡± ¡°However¡­¡± Zuo Yue suddenly said sadly,¡± But my little nephew is gone. Yesterday, I even went to the maternal and baby shop to pick out all kinds of toys. I planned to give my little nephew to the little baby after he was born. But you actually didn¡¯t give me a little nephew¡­¡± Zuo Yue said as she grabbed Anhao¡¯s stomach.¡±¡±Sister-in-law, you¡¯re too much. You actually hid it from me too. I was so disappointed when I heard this news. If Dad and Mom knew, they would definitely be disappointed too. You have to get pregnant quickly. I want a little nephew. You have to get pregnant quickly¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s itchy¡­¡± Anhao giggled as she fell onto the bed.¡±lt¡¯s so itchy, don¡¯t scratch me¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care. Hurry up and have a baby with my brother. I want one immediately. To punish you, you have to have two, oh no, three¡­¡± ¡°Ahhh, I was wrong. Zuo Yue, let me go¡­Ah¡­ It¡¯s itchy¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, Sister-in-law, you actually grabbed me too. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll go to Grandpa and complain?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked through the door and saw Anhao and Zuo Yue hugging each other and rolling on the bed.. Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: Finally Twenty (1) Chapter 311: Finally Twenty (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Brother!¡± Zuo Yue turned her head and saw Zuo Hancheng entering the room. She sat up straight and said with an accusatory expression, ¡°¡±You and Sister-in-law even lied to me!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he had already guessed that Zuo Yue had discovered something. Zuo Hancheng did not explain. He only looked at Anhao and Zuo Yue who were lying on the bed with their faces flushed red. ¡°It¡¯s just a stopgap measure.¡± he said. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you coax the old master. I won¡¯t interfere, but the two of you must give birth to a baby as soon as possible. I can¡¯t be disappointed for nothing. I must hug my little nephew as soon as possible!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s words made Anhao roll on the bed and sit up. She pulled Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and whispered,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, don¡¯t spout nonsense¡­¡± ¡°Why? It¡¯s not a bad thing to have a child. You see, my brother is born with the potential to be a high-quality nanny. If you don¡¯t grasp it quickly, if you give birth when my brother¡¯s company completely monopolizes a large amount of resources in the business and political circles on the mainland and is busy, he might not have the time to be a nanny.¡± It was really getting further and further away¡­Anhao was embarrassed. Zuo Hancheng smiled and walked over.¡± Anhao immediately raised her eyes and glared at him.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Don¡¯t you still have your parents? You don¡¯t have to take care of them yourself. Besides, my brother even helped me make milk powder when I was young. Anyway, I won¡¯t go hungry after giving birth. Hurry up and get pregnant!¡± Seeing Zuo Yue earnestly persuading her to have a child, Anhao suddenly interrupted her, ¡°¡±Zuo Yue, you are only eighteen years old. Why are you always urging me to have children? Oh, right, I remember the last time I heard you on the phone, you called the person on the other end of the phone ¡®Uncle.¡¯ In the end, your face suddenly turned red. I was wondering why you blushed when you received your uncle¡¯s call.¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Yue jumped up,¡±¡±l still have something to do. I¡¯ll be leaving first. Brother, you and Sister-in-law should have a child soon. Don¡¯t listen to my Sister-in-law¡¯s nonsense. Bye As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Yue ran out directly as if she was wiping oil from the soles of her feet. Anhao was just looking for a random reason to interrupt Zuo Yue, but she did not expect Zuo Yue to have such a big reaction. She immediately raised her eyes and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was deep in thought.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s reaction is so big¡­ Obviously, Zuo Hancheng also noticed that something was wrong with Zuo Yue. He glanced sideways at Zuo Yue who had already disappeared outside the door. After a moment of silence, he said softly,¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s suggestion is not bad.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Anhao was stunned. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to not change the topic. While she was still in a daze, Zuo Hancheng had already bent down and placed his arms on both sides of her body. He leaned forward and pressed down on her. Anhao¡¯s face tensed up and she tried to dodge backward but failed to do so. She was completely trapped in his range. ¡°Let¡¯s have one?¡± His deep voice lingered in her ears. Anhao¡¯s heart was tickled by his low and deep voice, and her eyes were a little embarrassed.¡±Even you are teasing me like Zuo Yue.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°This is not a joke.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. He raised his hand and brushed his fingers across her nose.¡±Don¡¯t you want a complete family? With you, me, and the child, this family will be complete. I don¡¯t want it, huh?¡± This was not a question of whether she wanted it or not. It was just that she had never thought that there would be a day when she and Zuo Hancheng would really discuss whether they wanted to have a child or not! She didn¡¯t say anything, but her eyes blinked at him. After a long time, she whispered, ¡°How about¡­ Let nature take its course.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. He was not satisfied with her answer, but he did not reject it. There was a warm smile in his eyes.¡±Remember what you promised me¡­¡± Anhao suddenly lowered her voice and shouted,¡± Aiya, Zuo Hancheng, I just got my period, don¡¯t always remind me about the compensation after five days¡­¡± Anhao said as she rubbed her head against his chest. When he pulled her into his embrace, she closed her eyes and breathed hard in his arms. She rubbed her head against his chest again and said, ¡°¡±Did you go to see the old master just now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, did he?¡± ¡°No, he knows that we are leaving the United States the day after tomorrow. We are getting old, and the emotions of separation will always cover everything. His attitude has become much better.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Anhao raised her head.¡± Although the old man is strict with his words and threatened to change the will, he¡¯s actually only strict with his words. I¡¯m sure he¡¯s always on your side in his heart.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and stroked the soft strands of hair on her forehead.¡±¡±Blood is thicker than water.¡¯ Anhao felt much better after hearing that. Gu Tianming¡¯s face suddenly appeared in her mind, and she smiled.¡±That¡¯s also because the old master really dotes on you. The words ¡®blood is thicker than water¡¯ don¡¯t seem to be true for me. After all, our Gu family is a typical example.¡± Zuo Hancheng sat beside her with a faint smile and let her lean into his arms. Anhao leaned her head on his shoulder and said with a smile,¡±¡±Don¡¯t say anything to comfort me. I¡¯m just saying this because blood is thicker than water. I have no intention of complaining. After all, even if Gu Tianming suddenly made me feel fatherly love, I would still feel that he must have some scheme. Some of the hatred and disgust that had already penetrated into my bones could not be changed even if they were blood relations.¡± ¡°When you received Gu Tianming¡¯s call that day, what did he say to you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s talk about it after we return to China.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t want to mention those things and affect her mood. Zuo Hancheng patted her shoulder gently, telling her not to keep it to herself. Anhao thought for a moment and then said,¡± After I return to China, I might take some time to visit the Gu family. There are still some of my things there. Although it¡¯s not much, it¡¯s still something from when I was young. I can¡¯t just leave them there.¡± Gu Tianming wants to see me.¡± ¡°Should I go back with you?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her. Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡± You¡¯re so busy. It¡¯s already hard enough for you to find time to go back to the States. You still want to accompany me back to the Gu family after you return?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled slightly, but his gentle gaze was filled with encouragement and persistence. ¡°We¡¯ve been married for so long. It¡¯s indeed time to officially accompany you to visit the Gu family.¡± ¡± Gu Tianming still doesn¡¯t know about my marriage. Also, if Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi see you at the Gu family¡¯s house, they¡¯ll definitely be so scared that their legs will turn to jelly. If I bring you back like this, wouldn¡¯t that be too powerful?¡± Anhao snickered as she spoke. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid that I¡¯ll see you being bullied when you return to the Gu residence? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched..¡± I¡¯m afraid that if I go back and flip the roof of the Gu family, they¡¯ll ask you for compensation! ¡®¡±¡® Chapter 312 - Chapter 312: Finally Twenty (2) Chapter 312: Finally Twenty (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I¡¯m afraid that if I go back and flip the roof of the Gu family, they¡¯ll ask you for compensation!¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± I heard that the Gu family¡¯s old house is in the wealthy district in the west. The building in the wealthy district from 30 years ago has indeed been in disrepair for a long time. If you want to tear it up, I¡¯ll help you. If you want to claim compensation, let them find my lawyer. ¡®¡±¡® Anhao immediately smiled and leaned her head into his embrace. She raised her hand and hugged his arm as she said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, why didn¡¯t I know that you started to love me so much?¡± ¡°Before you grew a heart.¡± ¡°You always say that I don¡¯t have a heart. I clearly have a heart, okay? If you don¡¯t believe me, you can touch it. Look, the frequency of my heartbeat is very normal¡­¡± ¡°Hmm? Let me touch it.¡¯ ¡°Hey, hey, hey, hey, where are you touching? I let you touch my heart. Ahhhh¡­ Take your hand away and don¡¯t touch it.. Sounds of laughter could be heard in the room. Xu Yuan stopped outside the door for a moment before turning around and leaving with a smile. She had planned to ask Anhao out for a chat before her birthday, but she did not expect to hear Anhao laughing with Zuo Hancheng as soon as she got close. After walking out of the door, Xu Yuan was about to go to the front hall in front of the courtyard when she suddenly saw a figure making a phone call in the corner of the courtyard. Xu Yuan frowned and slowly walked over. Although she did not see it clearly, she could tell that it was Zuo Yue from the figure. ¡°Zuo Yue, it¡¯s already so late. Who are you calling? Why did he come out to fight so late at night? Do you know what time it is now?¡± Zuo Yue, who was in the corner, heard her mother¡¯s voice and immediately turned around and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat. Xu Yuan paused for a moment and looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s figure that was quickly escaping. She did not chase after her and only shook her head. This child was really spoiled. The next morning, when Anhao woke up, Zuo Hancheng was no longer by her side. However, she could still feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warmth in the blanket beside her. Anhao hugged the blanket and rolled around on the bed. Then, she sat up with a smile and stretched. From today onwards, her life would start with two words. She was twenty years old! It was already past nine o¡¯clock in the morning, and Zuo Hancheng had not woken her up yet. It would be strange if Old Master liked her for sleeping in like this time and time again. Anhao lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She raised her hand and scratched her head before walking towards the door. It was very quiet outside. No one had come to wake her up until now. This feeling really made her panic. Just as she was about to open the door, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Zuo Hancheng walked through the door and saw Anhao standing there with a sleepy face and disheveled hair. She was stunned and looked at him.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you wake me up? What if Grandpa dislikes me for sleeping in again?¡± ¡°The birthday girl has special privileges today. No one will disturb you even if you sleep until three poles in the morning.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her disheveled hair and smiled.¡±¡±Go wash up. Aunt Wang left breakfast for you. Get them to bring it to you later.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao scratched her head again. She had slept so soundly last night that she felt a little dazed after waking up. Just as she was about to turn around and enter the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng suddenly pulled her back into his arms. When Anhao turned around to look at him, he kissed her. ¡°I haven¡¯t brushed my teeth yet¡­¡± Anhao mumbled. ¡°Happy birthday, baby.¡± Anhao immediately gave up resisting and closed her eyes to accept his morning kiss. He didn¡¯t mind that she hadn¡¯t brushed her teeth yet, so of course she didn¡¯t mind. However, this call of ¡®baby¡¯ still made her feel weak all over. It was not until Zuo Hancheng let go of her and pushed her into the bathroom that she came back to her senses. She looked at her happy and flushed face in the mirror and quickly patted her face with cold water. After washing up, Anhao walked out of the bathroom and saw that Aunt Wang had already brought her warm milk and toast. She didn¡¯t have much of an appetite after just waking up. Besides, it would be noon in another two to three hours. Anhao only drank a glass of milk and didn¡¯t eat toast. She changed into clothes that were suitable for walking around in the Zuo¡¯s house and walked out. Today, the Zuo family was as usual. Although there were many people in the Zuo family, it was very quiet because it occupied too much land. Anhao was just about to walk to the front hall to see if everyone was there when she saw Father Zuo, who had returned from the company in the morning. ¡°Good morning, Dad.¡± Anhao went up to greet him. Zuo Liming smiled when he saw her and waved at her.¡±Anhao, come here.¡± Anhao was stunned. She had been in the Zuo family for a few days. Although she knew that Father Zuo was a person who was easy to get along with. He was a strict father and a kind father. However, Father Zuo did not deliberately get too close to her because of the old man¡¯s face. He was not as friendly as Mother zuo. However, when she saw Father Zuo suddenly calling her with a smile, Anhao instinctively walked towards him. ¡°Come.¡± Father Zuo called her. When Anhao walked in front of him, Father Zuo smiled and looked back at his assistant. The assistant took out a red packet from his briefcase and handed it to him. Father Zuo took the red packet and handed it to Anhao. ¡°Child, although our Zuo Family has been established in the United States for a long time, we are still Chinese deep down. The custom of giving red packets has not changed. I don¡¯t know what people in China give for their birthdays. As an elder, I can only give a red packet as a token of my appreciation. Take it. Happy birthday. ¡± Anhao looked at Father Zuo with a flattered expression. She raised her hand and took the red packet. The red packet was filled with notes, but it was heavy and thick. It was obvious that there was a lot of money. Anhao didn¡¯t expect to receive a red packet on her birthday. However, it would be bad if she didn¡¯t accept the red packet specially prepared by her elders. Hence, she said happily and cautiously, ¡°Thank you, Dad, but this is too heavy. In the future, we only need one or two notes to express our etiquette.¡± Anhao said as she winked playfully. Father Zuo was in a good mood and smiled.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll change it to a card next time.¡± ¡± Uh, that¡¯s not what I meant. I have a big BOSS like Zuo Hancheng by my side. I definitely won¡¯t be short of money. You know what I mean.¡± Anhao blushed. ¡°I know that you don¡¯t want these things, but you should at least express your feelings. There¡¯s no need to be polite with me. Hurry up and go in. The wind is strong outside. You don¡¯t even have a coat on and you¡¯re going out. Be careful that your mother-in-law won¡¯t stop nagging you later.¡± Anhao happily stuck out her tongue at Father Zuo and thanked him, ¡±Thank you, Dad.¡± Then, she turned around and walked happily to the hall.. Chapter 313 - Chapter 313: Finally Twenty (3) Chapter 313: Finally Twenty (3) Translator: 549690339 In the living room, Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, was on the phone on the sofa. She sounded like she was in a good mood. Anhao walked in. Zuo Yue turned around and gave Anhao a look when she saw her. Anhao was stunned and did not understand what Zuo Yue¡¯s look meant. On the other hand, the old man was sitting on the sofa opposite her with an ugly expression. He looked at Xu Yuan and was clearly in a bad mood, but he did not say anything. Seeing Anhao walk in, Old Master Zuo glanced at her indifferently. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s it. It¡¯s settled then. When the two children return, I¡¯ll get them to contact you directly. ¡°After Xu Yuan finished speaking on the phone, she turned around and saw that Anhao had already arrived. She stood up and walked towards her with a smile.¡±Anhao, come quickly. Mom has just decided on your wedding photo with Hancheng.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao was stunned. Gauze photo?¡± ¡± Yes, Hancheng and you got married in such a hurry. Although you are already the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, how can you be treated like this? You must go and take your wedding photos. Also, find a good time for the wedding. You must hold it in both America and China. We will hold it according to your favorite style. We will not treat you badly.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to do this. I already feel good about it now.¡± Annie was stunned. ¡°How can that do?¡± Xu Yuan smiled and held her hand. ¡°Our Zuo family is not a random family. If you want to be our daughter-in-law, you have to go through the formalities with our elders first. As for the wedding ceremony, it¡¯s already against the rules that we haven¡¯t announced it to the public.¡±The old man suddenly spoke. His voice was cold, but it startled Anhao. She turned to look at the old man. ¡°Grandpa.. The old master looked at her coldly and did not stop her from calling him grandfather. He only continued to say coldly,¡±Gu Anhao, on account that it¡¯s your birthday today, I won¡¯t scold you, but don¡¯t be too smug. I haven¡¯t accepted you yet! ¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± ¡°Thank me for what?¡± The old man stared at her strangely. ¡°Thank you, grandfather, for giving me face on account of my birthday. This means that you are actually very loving, grandfather. This kind of dignity is only on the outside. Deep down, you must be a kind and good grandfather who loves us juniors¡­¡± ¡°Stop flattering me.¡± The old man frowned, but his expression softened a lot.¡±l can¡¯t believe she married Han Cheng before she turned twenty. She just turned twenty today.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows slightly. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xu Yuan smiling and winking at her, meaning that she should stop while she was ahead and not really bump into the old man¡¯s muzzle. Anhao wasn¡¯t stupid, so she knew when to stop. Although the old man¡¯s words were unpleasant, at least he did not say anything hurtful today. At least he gave her face for the time being. This was already good news for Anhao. It was good that she had improved. As long as she could close the distance between her and Grandpa Shen, even if it would take a long time for Grandpa Shen to accept her, at least the road ahead would not be as difficult as she had initially thought. ¡® How are you? I¡¯m planning to let you go to Cold City before returning home. I¡¯ll take you to a friend to open a photography studio to take wedding photos. But because Cold City¡¯s flight is booked, I¡¯m in a hurry. I really can¡¯t find time to take photos here in Los Angeles. So I¡¯m dragging my friend to City A to help you arrange a good photography studio. When you go back, you¡¯re going to Cold City to take photos. The photographers are all very high-quality. A group of people. I definitely won¡¯t let you and Cold City¡¯s photos be unnatural. Remember to go.¡±¡® Xu Yuan said as she took Anhao¡¯s phone and keyed in a number.¡±¡±This is the phone number of the person in charge of the photo studio. You can contact him later. I¡¯ll let Hancheng know later, in case you guys forget about it when you get back.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mom.¡± Anhao nodded. ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me for this kind of thing. You¡¯re the daughter-in-law of our Zuo family, so we should have given you this a long time ago. It¡¯s all Hancheng¡¯s fault. He didn¡¯t tell us before the wedding. He didn¡¯t even prepare for it. He could only make up for it later. It¡¯s good that you don¡¯t feel wronged.¡± Why is it that recently, I¡¯ve always been called big-hearted¡­ Anhao smiled awkwardly and looked at the string of numbers on her phone before nodding.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll remember that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you remember. Remember to take the photos. After you take them, remember to send us the electronic version. We can make a copy and put it in your bedroom with Hancheng.¡± ¡°How troublesome. What era is it now? Do you think it¡¯s still the era when you and Li Ming got married? Wedding photos must be hung in the house to be considered a marriage?¡±The old man suddenly interrupted. ¡°No matter what, Hancheng and Anhao¡¯s marriage is already a done deal. Even if these habits are very old-fashioned, at least it¡¯s the respect that our Zuo family should have for Anhao as a daughter-in-law.¡±Xu Yuan turned around and explained softly. Grandpa Shen looked at Anhao indifferently and didn¡¯t say anything else. Anhao, on the other hand, was delighted. It seemed that the old man had been persuaded by someone the day before to say as little as possible on her birthday. Seeing the old man¡¯s uncomfortable expression, Anhao also held back her laughter. On the surface, she said seriously,¡±lf grandfather doesn¡¯t like it, then I won¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Anhao.¡± Xu Yuan gently patted her hand and gave her a look.¡±¡±You child, why aren¡¯t you taking advantage of the situation?¡± Anhao quickly grinned again and suddenly bowed to the old man.¡¯¡±¡®Thank you, grandfather, for not scolding me!¡± The old man instantly raised his head and looked at her with a pale face. Zuo Yue, who was beside him, smiled and fell on the sofa. Just as the old man was about to flare up because of Gu Anhao¡¯s smugness, Zuo Hancheng walked in. The moment he saw Zuo Hancheng, the old man¡¯s expression froze. In the end, he suppressed his emotions and rolled his eyes at Anhao. He turned his head away and was too lazy to look at her. It turned out that Zuo Hancheng had taught the old man a lesson beforehand. No wonder the old man was so patient today. As expected, Zuo Hancheng was the Old Master¡¯s nemesis. Anhao was obediently saving the number in her phone¡¯s address book when two red packets were suddenly handed to her. Anhao was stunned and looked up at Mother Zuo.¡±¡±Mom? This¡­¡± ¡°Take it. The red packet below is from me, and the one above is from the old man.¡±Xu Yuan smiled at her.¡± Since it¡¯s your birthday, you should collect more prizes and accumulate good fortune. Only then will things get smoother and smoother in the future.. Chapter 314 - Chapter 314: Finally Twenty (4) Chapter 314: Finally Twenty (4) Translator: 549690339 Upon hearing that the old man had a share of the red packet, Anhao immediately took the red packet and bowed to Mother Zuo and the old man.¡±¡® Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Grandpa!¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s smile was so wide that she couldn¡¯t keep her mouth shut. However, the old man turned his head away like a sulky old child and didn¡¯t look at her. Seeing Gu Anhao bow profusely with three big red packets in her hands, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled into a smile. He patted her shoulder and said, ¡°¡±lt seems that Grandpa has already begun to accept you in his heart. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s unwilling to let go of his face.¡± His voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone here could hear him. The old man immediately turned around and retorted,¡± I didn¡¯t accept her. Your parents took the red packet on their own accord. They even gave me a share. They said that they wanted Gu Anhao to be happy and that I would give her face. I didn¡¯t have the time to reject them!¡± ¡°Oh, so Grandpa didn¡¯t refuse.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled meaningfully and looked at the old man. The old man rolled his eyes at him with an ugly expression.¡±You¡¯ve made such a big fuss over your birthday. The money you¡¯ve collected is enough for you to go back and buy a house. Marrying into the Zuo family is really an extraordinary leap in the quality of life for a young lady like you who has no family background or background.¡± ¡°Grandpa.¡± Before everyone could speak up for her, she spoke up first. She looked at the taunting and mocking look in the old man¡¯s eyes.¡±Grandpa, I wonder if you¡¯ve heard of some comparisons between the rich and the poor.¡± ¡°What parallel sentence?¡± The old man glanced at her indifferently.¡± ¡°Wearing a 300-yuan watch and a 3-million-yuan watch, the time is the same. The feeling of being drunk was the same after drinking a 30-yuan bottle of wine and a 3,000-yuan bottle of wine. Living in a 30-square-meter room or a 300-square-meter room, loneliness was the same. We all know that the true happiness in our hearts is something that the material world can never give.¡± As Anhao spoke, she looked at the old man¡¯s dissatisfied frown and continued, Since I¡¯m married to Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m officially Mrs. Zuo. I¡¯m very clear about this, and everyone is very clear about this. If I really pursue the materialistic things that you think of, Grandpa, I would be wearing all kinds of branded goods and jewelry to show off my wealth. But Grandpa, although these red packets are filled with money, they have more feelings and blessings than the numbers under our names. Isn¡¯t this a kind of blessing?¡± ¡°Do I have to push the blessing out in a delicate manner and deliberately stand in front of you to pretend to be so thin and noble? Pretending to be fake in front of blessings, was this what grandfather liked?¡± ¡°Yes, Dad.¡± Xu Yuan turned around and said,¡± Anhao is already the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. If she values those things, then she would have them long ago. Anhao is right. Red packets are a kind of blessing. It¡¯s our wish to the children as elders. Don¡¯t say such things to make Anhao feel bad.¡±¡± Anhao had already prepared to face the Zuo family before she left today. Her voice was much calmer than a few days ago. ¡°I know. Grandpa, you¡¯re reminding me and educating me not to forget my roots.¡± Anhao¡¯s reaction today made Grandpa speechless. Initially, he had only said a few more words when he saw Gu Anhao being so smug and unhappy. In the end, it turned out that this old man was about to become the public enemy of the Zuo family again. Seeing that Xu Yuan, Zuo Yue, and Zuo Hancheng were all protecting Gu Anhao, and that girl Gu Anhao had said it so beautifully, the old man sighed and raised his hand to his forehead.¡±Forget it. I can¡¯t participate in the world of young people. ¡± ¡® Grandpa, this isn¡¯t the world of young people. You¡¯re just too stubborn. You¡¯ve always thought that Chengxin is good in everything. In fact, Anhao has already given her face. That day, Chengxin framed her, but Anhao didn¡¯t really do anything to Chengxin. In the end, she didn¡¯t pursue the matter anymore. This is already because of you, Grandpa.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly interjected. Seeing the old man frown, she said directly,¡±¡±But didn¡¯t you hear what Anhao said just now? Also, can¡¯t you see our attitude? That Chengxin is a hypocritical woman who pretends all day long. You¡¯re old, but you think Chengxin is obedient and sensible. How can there be such a perfect person in this world? I¡¯m just pretending to be perfect in front of Grandpa. I think people like Sister-in-law are real. Grandpa, it¡¯s time for you to take off your colored glasses.¡± ¡°I¡¯m old and my eyes are blurry. I like to wear glasses. You dare to sit here and scold me?¡±The old man immediately looked impatient. Zuo Yue immediately turned to look at Xu Yuan. ¡®¡±¡® Mom, I really pity you. After marrying into our Zuo family, you¡¯ve been living under the same roof with grandfather for so many years. Other people are all top-notch mothers-in-law, but you¡¯ve met a top-notch father-in-law, yet you still respect and respect him for so many years. Your life is really not easy¡­¡± Xu Yuan was inexplicably dragged into this matter by Zuo Yue. She immediately glared at Zuo Yue, angry that this girl actually spoke nonsense. As expected, the old man was instantly furious.¡± Zuo Yue, you good-for-nothing girl. Say it again?!¡±¡® ¡°Then, I was right. Grandma passed away early. Grandpa, you haven¡¯t had anyone to talk to for many years, so you¡¯ve become so eccentric and irritable, right? If it really doesn¡¯t work out, I¡¯ll just find you an old companion. At least you have someone to talk to, so that you don¡¯t have to accumulate so much anger and vent it on us all day¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, the more you speak, the more ridiculous you are. It¡¯s not wrong for you to protect Anhao, but Grandpa is Grandpa after all. No matter what Grandpa¡¯s personality is, you can¡¯t speak like this.¡±Xu Yuan reprimanded him sternly. Only then did Zuo Yue stick out her tongue. Suddenly, she muttered in a very soft voice,¡¯¡±¡® I¡¯m just telling Grandpa how I feel now that I¡¯ve grown up. At least I won¡¯t hate Grandpa. But Grandpa, if you continue to be like this, you won¡¯t have the chance to hold the baby in Anhao¡¯s stomach after it¡¯s born. They¡¯ll definitely hide far away so that you won¡¯t be able to see your great-grandson. Even if they do, your great-grandson will definitely hate you and won¡¯t be close to you.¡± After Zuo Yue finished speaking, Xu Yuan did not interrupt her immediately. Sure enough, the old man¡¯s originally ugly expression was slightly restrained, but he was still frowning. In the end, he raised his head hesitantly and looked in Anhao¡¯s direction. After thinking for a while, he said coldly, ¡°What ability do you have to make so many people in the Zuo family stand up for you?¡± Anhao gently pulled her hand away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. She knew that if she wanted the old master to accept her, she would have to face it personally without everyone¡¯s protection. She walked straight over and stopped three to four meters away from the old man.. Chapter 315 - Chapter 315: Finally Twenty (5) Chapter 315: Finally Twenty (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Grandpa, I believe that my parents like me because they respect Zuo Hancheng¡¯s choice.¡±Anhao said softly. ¡°Zuo Yue came over because I was about the same age as her and we had met before. We fought together, so it¡¯s normal for Zuo Yue to protect me now.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to say where I am, nor do I know how to say those useless heart-to-heart words. I can only stand here and let Grandpa look at me, the real me. I really don¡¯t have a superior family background like Miss Cheng, nor have I been by your side for so many years to be filial. My late arrival and sudden appearance made Grandpa very disgusted. I know all this.¡± ¡°But Grandpa, I¡¯m standing here now and looking at you as your granddaughter-in-law. I hope you can give me some time and a chance to fulfill my filial piety as a junior. If I¡¯m not as good as others and you¡¯re not satisfied, I can learn. Although I¡¯m not perfect, I can learn until you¡¯re satisfied.¡¯ Xu Yuan turned to look at Zuo Hancheng when she heard what Anhao had said to the old man today. She smiled gently, obviously thinking that Anhao would be able to overcome the old man¡¯s high wall one day. Zuo Hancheng had let Anhao go alone to face the old master today. It seemed that he knew Anhao¡¯s tenacity and honesty. He believed that Anhao could really do it. Xu Yuan smiled and turned to look at Anhao¡¯s back and the old man¡¯s cold but silent expression. Anhao suddenly turned to look at the tea on the coffee table beside her. She took it over and touched the temperature of the teapot. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old man. She said respectfully,¡±Grandpa¡­¡± The old man glanced at the teacup in her hand and said indifferently,¡±Do you think that a cup of tea will make me accept you?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao sincerely said, ¡°Grandpa, this cup of tea is my sincerity. As long as Grandpa is willing to drink this cup of tea, it means that you are willing to give me this opportunity.¡±¡® ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty.¡± The old man refused immediately. Anhao did not give up. She continued to smile and said,¡±¡±Grandfather, I know that you think that you¡¯re old and that you can¡¯t wait for many years, so you hope to explain everything in front of you and hope that the people you care about can be happy together. However, because of my appearance, your hopes have been dashed.¡± ¡°But Grandpa, since I¡¯m already your granddaughter-in-law, please keep a good mood and live a longer and healthier life as the precious treasure of the Zuo family. People say that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. I believe that Grandpa¡¯s body is so strong that you will definitely live to a hundred years old. You also pay so much attention to health, and there are many old people who have lived to more than a hundred years old. Therefore, you must not think that you are old and rush the things in front of you. Give us young people some time, we will definitely not let you down. Especially me. I will definitely not disappoint you¡­ The old man did not say anything, but he did not interrupt her either. ¡°Also,¡± Anhao paused for a moment, but her eyes were still sincere as she said, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s already February. We all know that it¡¯s the Chinese New Year in half a month. You must want to reunite with your family, but it¡¯s a pity that Hancheng and I are leaving soon. Firstly, it¡¯s because he¡¯s indeed very busy. Secondly, it¡¯s because Grandpa doesn¡¯t like me, so I can¡¯t be here every day to cause trouble for you.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Yue burst into laughter again. She had been wondering why Gu Anhao would talk to the old man so obediently. It turned out that she was here to teach the old man a lesson. The old man also understood the meaning behind her words, but he did not get angry. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He suddenly felt that this little girl was indeed a little interesting. She was a quiet little thing who hid a clever one. ¡® However, as long as grandpa gives me this opportunity, I promise that I will let him bring me back to the United States to accompany you whenever he has time in Hancheng. I will always say good things about you in front of him and let him remember that there is still an old baby in the Zuo family who misses him. We will definitely come back often and reunite with each other during the New Year next year. We won¡¯t be separated from each other like this anymore. Grandpa, I¡¯m sincere. Please give me this opportunity, okay?¡± Anhao looked at the old man with her big, clear eyes, which were full of sincerity. ¡°Dad, Anhao¡¯s hand has been holding the teacup for so long that it¡¯s sore. Don¡¯t make things difficult for her.¡±Xu Yuan opened her mouth to assist ¡°That¡¯s right, Grandpa. Sister-in-law¡¯s hands are shaking.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say a word. He only watched quietly as Anhao stood obediently and respectfully in front of the old man. His eyes were filled with endless gentleness. Everyone could see Gu Anhao¡¯s seriousness and hard work today. Xu Yuan was almost touched by this girl. In fact, she was only a year older than Zuo Yue, but she was already considered to know when to advance and retreat, which was already very rare. Anhao¡¯s hands were indeed sore, but she remained still and looked at Grandpa Shen After about a minute, the old man let go of the crutch in his hand and reached out to take the teacup from her hand. Anhao¡¯s eyes lit up with joy. The moment the old man took the teacup, she smiled. ¡°Thank you, Grandpa!¡± The old man snorted, but he still took a sip of tea. However, it was only one sip before he put the teacup aside. However, this bite was already the biggest concession Grandpa Sheng could give her. It was enough for Anhao to jump up and celebrate. However, she restrained herself and smiled sweetly at Grandpa Sheng. ¡°Alright, why are you all looking at me? I¡¯m not the god of today¡¯s birthday. This birthday person came to me to pour tea, pour water, and bow. It¡¯s as if I¡¯m really bullying him. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time to celebrate your birthday. If it¡¯s time to celebrate, celebrate. I can¡¯t control you guys anymore.¡± Gu Anhao was chased away by the old man, but she was feeling very happy. The moment she turned her head and met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she smiled brightly and secretly made a ¡®V¡¯ sign at him. Xu Yuan saw Anhao¡¯s playful action and smiled. She turned around and asked Aunt Wang to prepare lunch and cake. Zuo Yue went to the old man¡¯s side and muttered, ¡°¡±Grandpa, you¡¯re so handsome today. I think you¡¯re the most handsome person in all these years! Aiya, Grandpa, why are there so many black hairs on your hair? You look like you¡¯ve become twenty years younger. You¡¯re so handsome, so handsome¡­¡± ¡°Move aside, act like a slut in front of me.¡±The old man reprimanded her. ¡°Aiya, Grandpa, I¡¯m complimenting you¡­¡± This was the first time Anhao had experienced the feeling of a happy family. As soon as she returned to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, she felt a warmth on her hand. Zuo Hancheng took her hand and kissed it. The moment their eyes met, his eyes were filled with praise and gratification.. Chapter 316 - Chapter 316: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 316: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 The next morning, the chauffeur of the Zuo family was already waiting outside. Anhao had experienced an unforgettable birthday yesterday, and she was still immersed in that kind of especially satisfied happiness when she left. Before they boarded the plane, Anhao suddenly turned around and saw a car following them. Looking closely, it was actually the old man sitting in the car. He was wearing sunglasses and silently watching the two of them enter the airport. Zuo Hancheng obviously saw it too. Anhao looked up at him and said, ¡°¡±Grandpa may be strict with his words, but he¡¯s actually soft-hearted. Dad and Mom didn¡¯t specially come over. I didn¡¯t expect Grandpa to secretly come and send us off¡­ Zuo Hancheng smiled, but both of them realized that the old man had already rolled up the car window, deliberately not wanting them to notice him. After all, the old man still cared about his face. Anhao and Zuo Hancheng simultaneously retracted their gaze and did not deliberately look in the direction of the car. They just pretended not to notice it and went straight into the airport lobby. On the plane, Anhao actually had a bad headache. She had finally returned to A City, but as soon as she returned to Liu Jing Garden, she collapsed on the bed and did not move at all. ¡°Are you feeling better? Get up, I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± Zuo Hancheng sat by the bed and caressed her forehead. He noticed that her forehead was covered in sweat. ¡°I¡¯m not going to the hospital. I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital¡­¡± Anhao rolled over.¡± I did sleep the entire way when we were flying to the United States. This time, I¡¯m not sleepy at all. I can¡¯t stand the long flight. I¡¯m on my period, so my body must be different from usual. Don¡¯t worry about me. Let me sleep for a day, and I¡¯ll be fine tomorrow¡­¡± However, Anhao had already vomited three times on the plane before. After getting off the plane, she vomited again on the way back. Now, she was basically exhausted and lying on the bed, sweating all over. Seeing that she really did not want to move, Zuo Hancheng did not force her. He turned around and washed a cold towel for her to relieve her headache. Anhao felt much more comfortable because of the icy sensation on her head. She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before she fell asleep unknowingly. In a daze, she seemed to hear someone talking by the bed. She opened her eyes slightly and turned her head to see that it was a family doctor who had been here before. The doctor said,¡± It¡¯s true that she¡¯s feeling dizzy and vomiting because of airsickness. It¡¯s been too long since she flew back from the United States. With her normal physical condition, it¡¯s not a problem. However, she¡¯s on her period now, so the reaction of airsickness and physical fatigue will be more obvious. She¡¯ll be fine after a good day¡¯s rest. President Zuo, you don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± ¡°I already said that I¡¯m fine. You actually went to find a doctor¡­¡± Anhao mumbled to herself on the bed with her eyes closed. She turned over and continued to sleep. The family doctor smiled and glanced at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything more and turned to leave. The family doctor followed him out. Anhao couldn¡¯t fall asleep. She raised her hand and looked at the needle on the back of her hand. She was wondering why the nausea and dizziness had subsided so much after only sleeping for a short while. It turned out that the doctor had given her an IV drip. She turned around and looked in the direction of the door. The corners of her mouth curled up into a sweet smile. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gentle care and concern really made her feel like she could not quit. As she thought about it, she fell asleep in a daze. It was only when she felt someone caressing her head that she opened her eyes in a half-asleep state and saw Zuo Hancheng sitting by the bed. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Anhao felt that the needle on the back of her hand had been removed, so she reached out to hug his arm coquettishly and rubbed her small face against his arm. ¡°Better?¡± he asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao closed her eyes lazily.¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at the moonlight outside the window.¡±lt¡¯s already so late. Don¡¯t you have to go to the company when you return to China today? Could it be that you took care of me at home for the entire afternoon and didn¡¯t go to the office at all?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Instead, he caressed her forehead to make sure that she was no longer sweating profusely. He then retracted his hand and said calmly,¡±¡±lt¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll get Mobai to send over the things that I need to handle. I¡¯ll look at them tomorrow morning.¡± ¡® Zuo Hancheng, not only did you take the time to bring me to America to relax, but you also took care of me at home because I was airsick. You didn¡¯t even go to the company. Do you have to love me so much?¡± Anhao acted coquettishly with an exaggerated look on her face. She mustered up her strength to sit up and lean her head against his chest.¡± Zuo Yue said that you were a workaholic when you were in America. I don¡¯t want to delay your business¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and pulled her into his arms.¡±¡±ln the future, if you feel uncomfortable during your period, just tell me. Don¡¯t force yourself. You can adjust your return time by a few days.¡± ¡°Oh, I got it. I didn¡¯t expect that flying during my period would cause such serious airsickness. I¡¯ll have more experience in the future.¡±Anhao obediently leaned into his embrace, but suddenly blinked and looked at him with a smile. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows when he saw the malicious smile on her face. ¡°You took care of me for so long without resting after you came back. Now that I¡¯m saying that I¡¯m hungry and want to eat the noodles you cooked for me, would I really be heartless¡­¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly. At the same time, he patted her shoulder and made her sit back on the bed. Seeing that he was about to leave, Anhao quickly asked, ¡°¡±Where are you going?¡± ¡°Cooking noodles for this heartless woman.¡±Zuo Hancheng left the bedroom without looking back. Anhao sat on the bed in a daze for a while. Finally, she smiled and picked up a pillow to roll around on the bed. Then, she sat up excitedly and got off the bed. Although she was a little exhausted because she had vomited too many times, at least she had added glucose to the injection just now. She was not so weak that she did not have any strength left. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. When she came out, she heard the sound of boiling water and the sound of breaking eggs coming from the kitchen. She turned around and walked to the kitchen door. She saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the sink with his sleeves rolled up. He was so handsome. Zuo Hancheng, a man who was the king of the business world, was willing to cook noodles for her, indulged her little willfulness, and took care of her little weakness. He knew that she had just said it casually and did not really want to eat the noodles he cooked, but it was only because she wanted to eat it that he actually satisfied her. Anhao leaned her face against the wall outside the kitchen with an intoxicated expression. She stared at the tall back of the man who was so handsome that she couldn¡¯t bear to look away even when he was cooking noodles. Her fingers were tapping on the wall back and forth as if she was playing a piano. She was so excited that she almost flew up.. Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 317: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 After a bowl of noodles was made, Anhao sat at the dining table and ate in satisfaction. As she ate, she looked up at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was sitting opposite her and reading a message on his computer. It was probably something from the company. She didn¡¯t say anything to disturb him, but because it was too delicious, she couldn¡¯t help but let out a slurping sound. When the bowl of noodles was almost in her stomach, Anhao glanced at him, who was still looking at the computer screen, and asked,¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you hungry?¡± ¡°When you were asleep in the afternoon, the doctor and I had a bite at the restaurant opposite. I¡¯m not hungry now. If you¡¯re not full, go get some more. There¡¯s still some in the pot.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze never left the screen. When Anhao heard him say that there was still more in the pot, she instantly felt no pressure. She was just about to ask how many servings he had made and if he didn¡¯t eat, would there be another serving in the pot for her to eat? Because she really hadn¡¯t eaten enough! She finished the soup in her bowl, got up happily, and jumped into the kitchen. She ran to get some more noodles and soup soup. When she came out, she sat back at the dining table. However, Zuo Hancheng had already gotten up to contact Mobai. As she ate, she watched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back as he walked to the French windows to make a call. She did not even realize that the corners of her mouth were still smiling because of this happiness. Zuo Hancheng put away the phone and walked back to her when she was so full that she could not move. Anhao rested her chin on her hands and looked at his approaching figure. She smiled and said,¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng, I feel like I¡¯m about to become a pampered little princess because of you. What if you keep treating me so well?¡± ¡°Is it wrong to treat you well? Do I have to bully you from top to bottom to make you feel comfortable?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her meaningfully. Anhao burped.¡± What I mean is, I¡¯m afraid that if you suddenly treat me badly one day, I probably won¡¯t be able to adapt in a short time. You have to know that when the grass that grows under the rock suddenly blooms fragrant flowers one day, it also needs to be taken care of. Once it experiences wind and rain, it will definitely not be able to bear it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why.¡± ¡± You¡¯re the one who spoiled me like this,¡± Anhao said seriously.¡± If you dare to be irresponsible to me in the future, I won¡¯t let you off no matter what. I¡¯ll pester you to death!¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed.¡± A bowl of noodles is enough to buy you over.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao didn¡¯t explain. This wasn¡¯t about a bowl of noodles at all. She knew that Zuo Hancheng understood what she meant. She was actually warning him not to treat her too well, or else she would really become more and more dependent on him until she could not leave him. That feeling was very blissful, but it also made people panic. Two days later in the morning. Zuo Hancheng had a business meeting at the company, and Anhao was already full of energy. He did not need to take care of her anymore. It just so happened that Chunchun and Huang Amao were on a weekend break. The three women who had not been together for a while finally got together again. In the milk tea shop outside A University, Chunchun was drinking milk tea speechlessly as she said, ¡®¡±¡®1 really don¡¯t understand why the two of you came to school to drink milk tea when it¡¯s already the holidays. When did you guys fall so deeply in love with A High School? How come I didn¡¯t know about it?¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± Ask Huang Amao. I told him that we were going to the new barbecue shop in the city center. Huang Amao insisted on coming here for milk tea. She also said that you wanted to come too, so I followed him. Who knew that he would lie to me¡­¡± The two of them immediately turned to look at Huang Amao. Huang Amao took a sip of milk tea and whispered,¡±I just found out that a handsome guy has appeared near our school recently and wanted to share it with you!¡± ¡°Where?¡± Chunchun turned to look out of the window. ¡® He hasn¡¯t shown up yet, but I think he should be living nearby. I saw him when I passed by here the last two times I came back from work. He seems to be about the same age as us, but he looks super handsome. Of course, he¡¯s still a few levels lower than President Zuo from Anhao¡¯s family, but it¡¯s rare to see someone so young and handsome.¡± Hearing Huang Amao¡¯s description, Chunchun and Anhao looked at each other. Although Huang Amao was not very reliable except for the fact that he was obviously obsessed with the K-pop, he was still rational. However, they had to admit that Huang Amao had a good taste in aesthetics. There were not many people who could make Huang Amao admit that he was handsome. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s coming, it¡¯s coming. It¡¯s over there. See that car? It¡¯s a Ferrari!¡±Huang Amao suddenly patted their shoulders and looked outside excitedly. Anhao and Chunchun turned to look outside again. They saw a particularly flashy red Ferrari of the latest model driving out from the direction of the stage apartment not far away and parked in the parking lot in front. The three of them stared at the car door that opened and saw a long leg walk out. When the so-called handsome man got out of the car and took off his sunglasses to reveal his true face, Su Chunchun said in surprise,¡±You don¡¯t say, he¡¯s really quite handsome!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? He¡¯s very handsome! He¡¯s also driving a Ferrari. We¡¯ve never seen such a person near our school before. He¡¯s handsome and about our age. Do you think he¡¯s a new transfer student in our school?¡± Anhao, on the other hand, quietly picked up the milk tea voucher on the table to cover half of her face so that the handsome guy in the Ferrari outside the window would not notice her. Motherf * cker! Life was really full of coincidences, and it was also a narrow road for enemies to meet. Wasn¡¯t that the unlucky fellow who was mocked at the airport and then mistakenly caught as a thief? So he really lived in the Shangtai apartment near the school. So he drove such a good car. So he really wasn¡¯t a thief! ¡°Anhao, what are you doing?¡± Huang Amao and Chunchun stared out of the window for a while and were excitedly discussing the origin of the handsome Ferrari guy. Suddenly, they turned around and saw Anhao quietly drinking milk tea with half her face covered.¡±Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve lost interest in handsome men because you have Zuo Hancheng as your husband?¡± ¡°Huang Amao is right. He¡¯s handsome, but he¡¯s not as handsome as my husband. Zuo Hancheng was more evil than him when he was young.¡±¡±As she spoke, Anhao suddenly took out her phone and showed it to them.¡±¡±Well, I took a picture of him from ten years ago. Look, was Zuo Hancheng more handsome and more devilish than this kid ten years ago? Besides, my husband is definitely a few streets ahead of that kid at his age. His experience, bearing, and calmness are definitely incomparable to boys his age This was the first time Anhao had praised Zuo Hancheng in front of the two of them. Huang Amao and Chunchun pouted in jealousy..¡±Show off all you want! You have Zuo Hancheng, can¡¯t you make us settle for another handsome guy? Chapter 318 - Chapter 318: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 318: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s that handsome.¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± Huang Amao and Chunchun rolled their eyes at her. The two of them hugged each other and said sourly,¡±¡± That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. You love Zuo Hancheng to death right now. How can you be attracted to any other man?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Anhao, your infatuation is too obvious now. Your blissful expression is too hateful.¡±Chunchun also muttered to the two. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°I¡¯m a love-struck fool? It¡¯s clearly the two of you who are infatuated with a stranger right now, okay?¡± ¡°Hey, do you think he¡¯s a new transfer student from our school? There¡¯s still half a year before the college entrance examination. Although it¡¯s not very reliable to transfer schools now, looking at his car, his family should be very good. Did his family find some connections to specially come to our A High School?¡± ¡°I think it also looks like a man in the realm of ¡®Mother¡¯.¡± Anhao listened to the two of them muttering and poured cold water on them. don¡¯t think so. This kid is obviously a hooligan. He probably doesn¡¯t go to school anymore. He¡¯s driving a sports car around just because his family is rich¡­ ¡± ¡°Eh? Anhao, what¡¯s wrong with you today? Do you know the handsome guy outside? Why are you always bickering with us? Did he offend you?¡± Chunchun turned to look at her. Anhao immediately shut her mouth and waved her hand.¡±¡±l don¡¯t know him. I just can¡¯t stand the two of you being so infatuated. I want you to calm down and not be deceived by the appearance of a group of idiots!¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao didn¡¯t believe him.¡± There¡¯s definitely something fishy going on. Tell me, does this handsome guy know your Boss Zuo? So you know him too?¡± Do you already know her well? It¡¯s not like a stranger has offended you.. Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± My husband isn¡¯t that free. How could a child like her know my husband?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Alright, she¡¯s starting to brag about her husband again.¡± Huang Amao snorted.¡± Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you and Boss Zuo were doing in T City. Gu Anhao, let me tell you, I¡¯m still a high school student and I¡¯m not married yet. The two of you are just showing off your love for each other. You even left me here and did this and that in there. Do you know that my little heart, a single dog, has been tortured into pieces by you guys?!¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. Seeing Chunchun looking at her with a lonely and suspicious expression, she immediately raised her hand. ¡°Huang Amao, you¡¯re spouting nonsense!¡± ¡°How am I spouting nonsense?¡± Huang Amao turned to Chunchun.¡±¡± I almost forgot to tell you. The last time I went to T City with Gu Anhao, Boss was so handsome. Also, let me tell you.. Huang Amao leaned over and whispered into Chunchun¡¯s ear. Anhao sat opposite them and glared at them with a pale face. She almost bit her lips off. In the end, Chunchun suddenly smiled and leaned on the table. She turned her gaze and said mysteriously, ¡°Really? Really? That explosive?¡± ¡°Of course. Otherwise, why would the two of you be alone in there for hours? Moreover, they¡¯re still husband and wife. They¡¯re so cruel to leave me hanging outside. I don¡¯t even need to think to know what the two of them are doing¡­¡± ¡°Oh my god, oh my god, Gu Anhao, are you super lucky? Didn¡¯t you tell us last time that you didn¡¯t sleep with Zuo Hancheng?¡±Chunchun directly led to the most explosive topic as soon as she opened her mouth, not hiding anything at all.¡± Why did you say that in a small hotel? Tell us the truth. Before this, did you and Zuo Hancheng already¡­¡± ¡°Please, are you two so curious about the couple thing between me and Zuo Hancheng? Should I install a surveillance camera at home and record it for you to watch the live broadcast?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at them. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to contribute, of course we¡¯re willing to watch.¡±Chunchun grinned and muttered. Just as Anhao was about to fly into a rage, she added,¡±Of course, we don¡¯t want to see you. We want to see how great Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure is when he¡¯s naked! If you¡¯re really filming, remember to adjust the angle properly. We¡¯re only looking at Zuo Hancheng!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched fiercely.¡± You two are shameless. I¡¯ll definitely part ways with you after I graduate from high school!¡±¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to part with us. With your current results, you¡¯ll definitely leave the two of us behind when you apply for university. ¡°Huang Amao clicked his tongue.¡± But then again, Chunchun might go abroad after graduation. Her family has arranged for her to study abroad. As for me, my family has either arranged for me to continue my studies at a university or I might go straight to business school. As for you, Anhao, what are your plans now?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows but didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°I say, Anhao, based on your soaring academic results, you can¡¯t be dreaming of getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University overnight, right? I¡¯m telling you, that¡¯s too hard and too difficult. Why don¡¯t you just study abroad with Chunchun?¡± Anhao stirred the milk tea in her cup with a straw. She still didn¡¯t say anything and just raised her head to look in the direction of A High School. Before she met Zuo Hancheng, her goal was to finish her third year of high school as soon as possible and leave the Gu family as soon as possible because Gu Tianming¡¯s adoption agreement with her would end after she graduated from high school. She had always had only one goal, and that was to live safely until she left the Gu family. Therefore, she spent every day wasting her time like this. She was also rebellious, hated everyone, and rejected everything around her. Of course, her thoughts of returning to the past had not changed. She still looked forward to completely severing ties with the Gu family, but now¡­ She had another consideration, which was her future. Anhao felt that she could understand why Rong Xue had tried so hard to become more outstanding back then. She wanted to make herself truly qualified to stand by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and make herself worthy of him. She had the same feeling now. Zuo Hancheng was the motivation for her to become better. People said that a beautiful love could make people work hard, warm, and make people better. Of course, she would not be so unrealistic as to ask herself to be so outstanding that she was qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zuo Hancheng. However, she should at least be as outstanding and beautiful as she was. At the very least, she should work hard to make herself better. That way, she would have more confidence when she stood by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side. The first step was to not let the people around Zuo Hancheng look down on her. People¡¯s nature would not change, and their rebellious nature could not be changed easily. However, at least she wanted to give it a try for Zuo Hancheng now and try to stand higher.. Chapter 319 - Chapter 319: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 319: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 When they left the milk tea shop, Chunchun and Huang Amao were still secretly chatting about the background of the handsome Ferrari boy. Anhao looked at the time. Zuo Hancheng had asked her to meet him at Shengling Group at night. It seemed that Wenner had recently opened some business in A City and was planning to treat them to a meal alone. He also asked Zuo Hancheng to invite Anhao along. After sending Chunchun and Huang Amao to the car, Anhao turned around and walked to the bus stop. Anyway, there was a new bus route recently, and the bus could directly reach Shengling Group. Anhao wanted to experience the feeling of taking a bus from the school gate to Shengling Group, so she stood in front of the bus stop and rummaged through her bag, looking for change for the bus. Just as she found two coins and held them in her hands, a black SUV suddenly stopped in front of her. Two men in black suits got out of the car. Anhao didn¡¯t know them. She looked up and was about to turn around and stand at the side. As a result, just as she zipped her bag, she suddenly heard the two men walk over and say,¡±¡±Miss Gu, please get in the car.¡± Anhao looked at them with a puzzled expression, then at the car behind them.¡±¡±What¡¯s going on?¡± Could it be that Zuo Hancheng had specially sent someone to pick her up? However, that was not right. Zuo Hancheng would never send any strangers to pick her up. At most, it would be acquaintances like MO Bai and Lin Qing. Moreover, sending someone to drive such a high-end SUV and specially sending two men in black who looked like bodyguards was not Zuo Hancheng¡¯s usual routine. He didn¡¯t do that at all! Therefore, she ruled out the possibility that Zuo Hancheng had sent someone to pick her up. Anhao immediately took a small step back vigilantly. At this moment, the bus had already driven over. The people near the station had already boarded the bus, leaving Anhao alone. She was about to ignore the two people and turn around to walk straight to the bus when she suddenly heard the two people behind her say,¡±Mayor Gu asked us to pick you up. Miss Gu, please get in the car.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked at the two people behind her in confusion. She had a hunch that Gu Tianming must have something to do with her when he looked for her some time ago. Now, he inexplicably sent someone to look for her and knew that she was here now. He must have been following her since she left the Gilt Scenery Garden during the day. The alarm bells in her head instantly rang. She only paused for two seconds before she quickly walked in the direction of the bus door. There were so many people in the car, so the two of them probably wouldn¡¯t go up and drag her away. However, just as she stepped on the stairs of the bus door, the two men in black suddenly walked up to her and stood behind her. They showed the police officer¡¯s work pass to the bus driver and then pulled her down expressionlessly. The bus quickly closed the door. Anhao looked at the bus in disbelief and turned to look at the two people behind her.¡± What are you doing?!¡± ¡°Miss Gu, we¡¯ve already explained everything. Mayor Gu wants to see you, and you¡¯re his daughter. Your father¡¯s car is right here, but you came to take the bus. If the mayor finds out about this, our jobs will be in danger.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get on whichever car I like. So what if Mayor Gu owns the bus station? If I want to take the bus, do I need your permission?¡±Seeing their unyielding attitude, Anhao shook off their hands and turned to leave. ¡°Miss Gu, please cooperate with us.¡±The two of them reached out to pull her back and held her wrist at the same time, preventing her from resisting. Anhao looked at them coldly.¡± ¡°Miss Gu, I¡¯m sorry.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the two men suddenly dragged her forcefully in the direction of the black SUV. Anhao immediately struggled with all her might, but these two bodyguards actually knew martial arts. No matter how she resisted, struggled, or even kicked them away, all her movements were resolved by the two of them, and she was easily pushed into the car. Anhao staggered into the car and raised her hand to grab the door in front of her, but she realized that the door was locked. She frowned and looked at them.¡±Where are you taking me? Why does Gu Tianming want to see me? Let me out of the car! I¡¯m not going to see him!¡± However, her resistance was completely ignored. After the car door closed, the two men in black suits sat in the front row. There was a safety glass between the front and back rows of the car, so she could not break through and grab the car keys. She could only raise her hand and pull the lock of the car door, but she could not open it. Just as she was about to find something from her bag to smash the car window, the man sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly said, ¡°Mayor Gu only asked us to send you to the city hall. Miss Gu, there¡¯s no need for you to be so emotional. We¡¯re on the street now, and the impact of you suddenly smashing a car and jumping out of the window is unpredictable. Moreover, we¡¯re only sending you to see your father.¡± How could he not think too much? Gu Tianming had never specially looked for her, but he had always thought of ways to contact her in the past few months. Now, he had even followed her all the way until now. He had directly called two bodyguards who were quite skilled to forcefully push her here. What was the difference between this and robbing her halfway? If Gu Tianming really had something serious to talk to her about, he would definitely not use this method! Anhao didn¡¯t stop talking to the two men in black. She searched her bag for a long time but couldn¡¯t find anything that could smash the window. She looked down at the sneakers under her feet and hated herself for not wearing high heels. Otherwise, she would have smashed the window with her high heels. Seeing her rummaging through her bag, the man in black sitting in the front passenger seat suddenly pressed a button in front of him and moved the glass between the front and back of the car. He reached out and said,¡±Miss Gu, please give me your phone.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand had just grabbed the phone in her bag when she heard his words and her heart trembled violently. This was her only bargaining chip to save herself now. She could not give it to him! Just as she was looking at him stubbornly with no intention of giving in, the man in black said expressionlessly, ¡°Miss Gu, if you don¡¯t wish for us to take all your things and snatch your phone away, please cooperate with us.¡± Cooperate with work, cooperate with your sister¡¯s work! Anhao frowned and held her phone tightly. She hesitated for a moment before she quickly pressed twice in her bag and swiped the phone screen to open the call log. Before the man in black realized that something was wrong with her actions, she quickly called Zuo Hancheng. The man in black had already seen through her movements and immediately leaned over to snatch her bag. Anhao wanted to dodge, but he snatched her bag and took her phone out. Seeing that the call had gone through, he hung up with an ugly expression and turned off the phone.. Chapter 320 - Chapter 320: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (5) Chapter 320: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (5) Translator: 549690339 Although he had already turned off her phone, at least when Anhao called Zuo Han just now, his phone should have rung once or twice. Hopefully, he could sense that something was wrong with her call. The SUV continued to move forward on the road. Anhao looked at the direction the car was driving in. It was indeed heading towards the City Hall. Recalling what Gu Tianming had said when he called her previously, she frowned secretly. However, the car was speeding on the road now. Even if she broke the window and jumped out of the car, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to get out. With so many cars coming and going, she couldn¡¯t risk her life. While she was hesitating, she looked up and saw the person in front of her put down the safety glass again and threw her bag in the front of the car. Seeing that they had no intention of damaging her belongings, Anhao did not say anything and turned to look out of the car window with a disgusted expression. Forty minutes later. Anhao was sent to the city hall by the two people. When she walked into the city hall, she saw that there were many government staff and security guards around. Gu Tianming probably wouldn¡¯t do anything to her in such a place. She then glanced coldly at the two people behind her and walked in with an unhappy expression. However, Gu Tianming was not in the mayor¡¯s office. Instead, he was in the conference room at the end of the third floor. When Anhao walked into the conference room, Gu Tianming had obviously just entered as well. He was reading a letter on the conference table. When he heard the door open, he looked up at her. ¡°He¡¯s here.¡± He glanced at her and suddenly laughed. Seeing that Gu Tianming actually smiled when he saw her, Anhao felt goosebumps all over her body. She stood at the door with a serious and guarded expression. She didn¡¯t go closer and asked directly, ¡°Why did you ask someone to bring me here?¡± Seeing that she had no intention of talking nicely, Gu Tianming snorted and put down the letter beside him.¡±This is the city hall. I won¡¯t do anything to you. What are you doing standing at the door?¡± Hearing his words, Anhao glared at him with an ugly expression. That night five years ago, the scene that made her feel disgusted for the rest of her life had left a deep impression on her. When she saw the smile on Gu Tianming¡¯s face, she wanted to go up and tear off his mask as the mayor and let everyone see how disgusting and heartless he was under his honest and kind skin! ¡°If you have something to say, say it. Why do you care where I stand?¡±Anhao looked at him coldly. Seeing her attitude, Gu Tianming¡¯s expression turned cold, and his smile faded.¡±Gu Anhao, you better be sensible. The Gu family hasn¡¯t mistreated you all these years. I even let you go to the best high school in A City. No matter how you¡¯re doing in the Gu family, at least you didn¡¯t starve to death, and I didn¡¯t let you drop out of school and become a good-for-nothing at home. Even if you don¡¯t treat me as your father or your benefactor, you should at least thank me for raising you all these years!¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s the kindness of raising you or covering up the fact that you killed someone with your own hands back then, we don¡¯t seem to need to discuss this topic anymore. We both know each other¡¯s names. ¡°Anhao laughed. Gu Tianming was instantly displeased by her words. ¡°You have quite a temper at such a young age. You¡¯re indeed very similar to Anping back then. Unfortunately, your mother died of a tumor. She even inexplicably pinned the crime of murder on me and forced me to take you in. Gu Anhao, I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t know about your mother¡¯s schemes back then. That woman is very scheming. Don¡¯t think that your mother lived a pitiful life. She deserved all the infamy after her death. She was originally a scheming woman, and her methods were brilliant. Otherwise, why would you change your surname to Hearing him mention this topic again, Anhao immediately glared at him with an ugly expression.¡±Gu Tianming, you have no proof. Don¡¯t say such groundless words in front of me! Do you think I really want to be your daughter? If my mother hadn¡¯t taken the DNA to prove it back then, I would rather believe that all of this was fake. I feel disgusted with my surname, Gu. Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m in the limelight just because I took your surname. I wish I could never enter with the Gu family in my life. I wish I could have nothing to do with you in my life!¡± Gu Tianming suddenly clapped. As Anhao looked at him in bafflement, he suddenly picked up a file from the chair and took out a stack of things from it and placed it on the conference table. ¡°If you want to know what kind of person your mother is, come and see for yourself. ¡°As he spoke, Gu Tianming pushed those things in her direction. Anhao stood stiffly in front of the door and looked at the stack of documents. She hesitated for a while before slowly walking over. The first thing she saw was the death certificate on the top. ¡°This is the real cause of your mother¡¯s death. The tumor, terminal illness, and the diagnosis of her malignant disease back then are all clearly here.¡±¡±Even if you didn¡¯t know about your mother¡¯s terminal illness back then, you should have known about it in recent years!¡± Gu Tianming said coldly. So Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t have to tell me the evidence of the murderer. Everything she did was just to let you into our Gu family. And you know very well that before she died, she had bribed the hospital and the forensic department to issue a fake death certificate and autopsy results. She wanted to frame me so that I had no choice but to follow the route she had planned.¡± Seeing that Anhao¡¯s face was pale, Gu Tianming said again,¡±Keep watching, you¡¯ll find more surprises.¡± Hearing the meaning behind Gu Tianming¡¯s words, Anhao looked at the real diagnosis and death certificates. She reached out and opened them one by one. Every time she opened one, her hands trembled slightly. When she suddenly saw a DNA test result and saw the words ¡°exclude father-daughter relationship¡± on it, she immediately raised her head in surprise and looked at Gu Tianming. ¡°The blood sample that Anping used for DNA testing back then did not come from me. I only found out about this the second year. Similarly, it was also the second year that I discovered that you were not my daughter at all! ¡°Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes were filled with endless mockery and ridicule. Anhao didn¡¯t show any expression, but her hands were clenched into fists. She did not care if she was Gu Tianming¡¯s daughter at all. She wished that she had nothing to do with him. But she didn¡¯t expect her mother to really lie to her. She didn¡¯t expect that everyone would really be deceived by her mother. Was this an illusion fabricated by Gu Tianming or something else? Seeing the doubt and anxiety in Anhao¡¯s eyes, Gu Tianming smiled proudly.¡±The Gu family has raised you for so many years. Isn¡¯t it time for you to repay us?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t listen to him. She picked up the DNA test and looked at the other one. When her gaze swept across the document that was filled with English words and then saw An Ping¡¯s profile picture in the corner, she suddenly pressed all the documents heavily onto the paper. She pressed her hand firmly on those things and suddenly raised her head to glare at Gu Tianming.. Chapter 321 - Chapter 321: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (6) Chapter 321: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (6) Translator: 549690339 Gu Tianming met Anhao¡¯s murderous gaze and snorted. ¡°Did you really see the picture just now?¡± Anhao pressed down hard on all the documents in front of her. Her gaze was cold as she looked at the smugness in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes. Her hands gradually clenched into fists, but she could not say a word. ¡°If you don¡¯t want these things to be made public, Anhao, you should be an obedient child in front of me today.¡± Anhao gritted her teeth and glared at him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. I¡¯m just doing my last duty as a ¡®father¡¯. I don¡¯t want Anping¡¯s background information to be made public. From today onwards, you have to listen to me.¡± ¡°What right do you have to threaten me with these things?¡±Anhao glared at him.¡± After so many years, you should know my personality. If you want me to listen to you, I¡¯ll do it unless the sun rises from the west!¡± You wish!¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Gu Tianming suddenly smiled. He walked forward and pinched her chin. She immediately felt disgusted and disgusted, but she suppressed the urge to knock him down under the table. He smiled proudly and said, ¡°Because you¡¯re a filial child, aren¡¯t you? Good?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes trembled. She turned her head away and clenched her fists tightly by her sides. The English document and photo that was pressed at the bottom just now pierced deeply into her heart like a thorn from a black jimsonweed. It hurt so much that her internal organs were about to split open. Gu Tianming turned around and took out a bag from under the conference table and placed it in front of her. Anhao saw that it was a clothing bag and she looked up at him. Gu Tianming smiled indifferently and said, ¡°I can give you ten minutes to think about it. After you think about it, change into this dress and leave with me obediently. I guarantee that after tonight, no one will know about your mother¡¯s past.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze turned cold, but Gu Tianming smiled and glanced at the clothes in the bag again. He raised his hand to straighten his suit and walked out beside her. Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually fell on the bag in front of her. She clenched her fists tightly and her fingers were deeply embedded in her palm. Wenner knocked on the door and walked into the CEO¡¯s office. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had just returned from the meeting room, he immediately smiled and said,¡±¡±President Zuo is so busy, but he still took the time to accompany your little wife back to America. This is really big news.¡± Zuo Hancheng lifted his gaze from the phone screen in his hand and glanced at him.¡±¡±Why do you want to do business in A City?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because I saw that you, President Zuo, are doing well in the business world. I also want to share a cup of Geng. It¡¯s so easy to make money in the country now. I have to make a lot of money before I consider expanding. One day, my name will be crowned with the identity of a CEO, and I won¡¯t be a famous detective anymore.¡± Wenner smiled as he sat on the sofa in the office. After thinking for a while, he got up and poured himself a glass of water. As he drank, he looked outside the door.¡±Miss Gu hasn¡¯t arrived yet?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at his phone again.¡±¡±She knows that you want to treat her tonight, so she can¡¯t wait for time to pass so that you can bring her out for a meal. She won¡¯t be late. It should be almost time.¡± Wenner looked at the time on his wrist and raised his eyebrows.¡±lt¡¯s 15 seconds to 6 0¡¯clock. Obviously, the little girl is destined to be late.¡± Zuo Hancheng and Wenner did not expect Gu Anhao to be late. After all, with Anhao¡¯s personality, she would definitely arrive an hour earlier if someone were to treat her to a meal so that she wouldn¡¯t miss a good opportunity to rip Wenner off. ¡°Is there a traffic jam? It¡¯s the peak hour on the road at this time.¡± Wenner took out his phone and found Anhao¡¯s number.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯ll call her and ask.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him but did not say anything. After Wenner dialed Anhao¡¯s number, he put down the phone not long after.¡±lt¡¯s switched off.¡± ¡°She suddenly called me just now, but it only rang once before hanging up. After that, her phone has been switched off.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly and glanced at the missed call that had only rung once. ¡°Is the battery out? She wasn¡¯t at home before?¡±Wenner picked up his phone and sent a message to Anhao¡¯s message box.¡±¡±Miss Gu, where did you go? Don¡¯t you like to go to places like bars to behave atrociously? I still need you to support my new nightclub. Come over quickly and I¡¯ll bring you to my territory to behave atrociously After leaving a message, Wenner smiled and looked up at Zuo Hancheng.¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s been a while since I saw Miss Gu dancing in front of me. This girl is really a treasure. I haven¡¯t seen her for a few days, but I actually miss her strangely.¡± Zuo Hancheng immediately shot her a glance.¡± The woman you slept with can cross two rivers in A City. How can you miss her?¡± It seems that bringing Anhao to your dinner party wasn¡¯t a wise move.¡± ¡°Sigh, you can¡¯t bully a friend¡¯s wife. No matter how much I like Miss Gu, I will never have any improper thoughts about her.¡±Wenner raised his hand in a dignified manner.¡¯¡±¡® However, it¡¯s not bad to be a flower protector occasionally. For example, when Miss Gu quarrels with you, I¡¯ll take her for a ride. For example, when Miss Gu decides to cut ties with you one day, I¡¯ll take her far away to run wild.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted. Suddenly, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and the smile in his eyes disappeared. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear.¡±What happened?¡± Wenner was drinking his own water. He was about to exclaim that Zuo Hancheng, the international CEO of Shengling Group, was too stingy. He did not even ask someone to bring him a cup of coffee, but let him sit here and drink water. However, when he looked up, he saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was getting colder and colder. Wenner¡¯s intuition told him that something must have happened to Gu Anhao. He immediately put down the glass of water and stood up. When Zuo Hancheng slowly put down the phone expressionlessly, he asked, ¡°¡±What¡¯s wrong? Why did he have such an expression? Did something happen?¡± ¡°Anhao was kidnapped by Gu Tianming¡¯s car on the way here and was forcefully taken to the City Hall.¡±Zuo Hancheng picked up his coat and turned to leave. When Wenner heard Gu Tianming¡¯s name, he immediately frowned.¡±Gu Tianming?¡± Zuo Hancheng, who was about to leave, heard the strangeness in Wenner¡¯s tone and immediately glanced at him. However, just as Wenner was about to avoid his gaze and change the topic, Wenner¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone, put it down a minute later, and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s a coincidence? My subordinates just told me that Mayor Gu of City A, Gu Tianming, actually booked the entire nightclub that I just opened today, and he even threw out quite a lot of money.¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already left in a flash.. Chapter 322 - Chapter 322: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (7) Chapter 322: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (7) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was sitting in a limousine. She couldn¡¯t see who was sitting in front of the car. When the car stopped and the door opened, Gu Tianming¡¯s figure appeared outside. She used her hand to pull down her short skirt. Seeing her action, Gu Tianming immediately laughed.¡±¡±Alright, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Didn¡¯t you often hang out in places like bars in the past? I heard that you dress like a gangster every day to seduce men. Why are you still pretending to be innocent? Anyway, I¡¯m not your biological father. You don¡¯t have to pretend in front of me.¡± Anhao looked up at him expressionlessly.¡±¡±What exactly do you want me to Gu Tianming gave her a set of clothes that couldn¡¯t be any shorter. The clothes on the upper body were very thin and tight, and the lower body was a black short skirt that could only barely cover her buttocks. For some reason, she wore such a short dress. Even if she used her feet to think, she could guess that something bad was going to happen. However, seeing his smug expression now, Anhao still wanted to get out of the car and kick him over. Seeing the intense hatred in her eyes, Gu Tianming snorted disapprovingly.¡±Get out of the car. As long as you perform well, I won¡¯t treat you badly.¡± Anhao looked out of the car and saw that it was a newly opened nightclub. From the front, it looked like a very luxurious nightclub. She frowned and looked around. There were a few Gu Tianming¡¯s bodyguards beside her. They were all very professional bodyguards. ¡°Do you need me to come and get you out of the car?¡± Seeing that she was sitting in the car without moving, Gu Tianming suddenly lowered his voice. Anhao took a deep breath and pulled down her skirt before getting out of the car. When she got out of the car, she pushed Gu Tianming, who was standing by the door.¡±Move aside, don¡¯t block the way!¡± Gu Tianming dodged her hand, but he was still displeased by her irritating temper. He looked at her coldly, but then he raised his eyebrows and walked in with a snort. Gu Anhao walked beside Gu Tianming and saw him giving a few instructions to the bodyguards behind him. She vaguely heard words like ¡°Minister¡± , ¡°Car¡± , ¡°Arrange for them to come in¡± , ¡°Be considerate¡±, and so on. When she walked into the nightclub called Night-Fire, Anhao looked around and realized that there was no one there at this time. She guessed that Gu Tianming had booked the entire place. Then, she turned to look at the bartender and waiters of the nightclub, as well as the lobby manager and others, who came forward to welcome Gu Tianming enthusiastically. He kept calling her Mayor and Biliu Shenghui. It was really disgusting! However, she had hung out in almost all the bars in A City. She had occasionally negotiated with a few nightclubs in A City when she delivered drinks back and forth. Why had she never heard of Night-Fire? Even if it was newly opened, she should probably know which boss suddenly invested in this business. However, she seemed to have never heard of Night-Fire before. This nightclub had suddenly opened, and the luxury inside was indeed in line with the choice of an exaggerated person like Gu Tianming. He had actually booked the entire place. It could be seen how much money Gu Tianming had been embezzling! After being brought into the large private room, Anhao sat on the sofa. Seeing that the bartender and waiters had already started to prepare the drinks, endless fear and vigilance rose in her mind. Gu Tianming did not know where he had gone, but he left three bodyguards in the private room to monitor her. Anhao tugged at her short skirt and looked around. The environment was unfamiliar and she couldn¡¯t find a suitable exit to escape. Moreover, she had chosen to change into this dress and follow Gu Tianming out. Even if she could escape now, she could not leave rashly. But at the very least, she had to ensure her final safety. She couldn¡¯t really let Gu Tianming order her around and control her. Wenner really felt how terrifying the pressure around Zuo Hancheng was. Along the way, Wenner was almost frozen into ice in the car. On the way from Shengling Group to the city, Zuo Hancheng had run a few red lights. ¡°Mr. Zuo, since Miss Gu was brought to my place, at least I can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in her whereabouts. As long as we rush over in time to solve her current predicament, there will be no problem. Don¡¯t burn down my shop when the Night-Fire arrives!¡± Wenner tightened his grip on his seatbelt as he spoke. His habitual laughter sounded a little helpless because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude. ¡°You better pray that nothing happens to the person in your place.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not look at him as the black Bentley continued to accelerate. Wenner hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡®¡±¡®1 don¡¯t know why Gu Tianming brought her there, but there are only a few possibilities. You should be very familiar with some of the shameless dealings and practices in the domestic officialdom and business world.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t say anything, but continued to speed up the car with an expressionless face. He watched as the black Bentley was already jammed. Every intersection turned quickly and took a detour. Whether it was a one-way or a reverse route, he was completely ignored. Winnar felt that if Gu Anhao really got into trouble in Night-Fire today, he was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t be able to live until he was in his thirties. But the main problem now was¡­ Suddenly, he looked at Zuo Cheng¡¯s cold side profile.¡±¡±Miss Gu has never told you about Gu Tianming. I also promised Miss Gu that I wouldn¡¯t say anything. However, in this situation, I¡¯m afraid I have to give you a heads-up. After all, I don¡¯t know what Gu Tianming is going to do. You have to be mentally prepared.¡± Zuo Hancheng had no choice but to stop the car when he was blocked by a large dangerous goods vehicle at the intersection ahead. The moment the screeching sound of the brakes was heard, he turned his head and looked coldly at Wenner.¡±Speak!¡± Wenner raised his eyebrows, then spread his hands and said helplessly,¡±¡±lt seems that I can only let Miss Gu down.¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned, dissatisfied with his long-windedness. ¡°More than five years ago, Miss Gu was only fourteen years old. She had just been taken in by the Gu family not long ago. There¡¯s no need to mention the abuse she suffered in the Gu family. However¡­¡± Wenner hesitated for a moment before saying softly,¡±¡±That time, when I was doing psychological therapy for Ms. Gu, I found out about something that happened to her five years ago. It changed her life and personality completely.¡± The road ahead was blocked by the dangerous goods vehicle. There were so many cars around that they could not quickly turn to other roads. Zuo Hancheng glanced coldly at the slow-moving traffic in front of him and patiently waited for Wenner to finish his sentence.. Chapter 323 - Chapter 323: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (8) Chapter 323: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (8) Translator: 549690339 ¡°When Miss Gu first entered the Gu family, she lived in a dilapidated nanny¡¯s room upstairs. The lock on the door was broken, and the Gu family was too lazy to get someone to fix it.¡± Winnar said slowly,¡± Gu Tianming once came home drunk and barged into Miss Gu¡¯s room. He almost raped Miss Gu. Miss Gu was only 14 years old at that time. Facing her heartless and drunk father, she tried her best to avoid him and knocked Gu Tianming out with the bedside lamp before she could escape.¡¯¡±¡® When he heard these words, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were unusually calm, but Wenner could see the cold light that quietly grew in his eyes. Killing intent. It had been a long time since Zuo Hancheng had seen such a thing. Wenner continued,¡± It was also from that year onwards that Miss Gu began to learn Taekwondo and all kinds of self-defense techniques. She started to live on campus and tried not to return to the Gu family. She stayed away from the Gu family and Gu Tianming.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the car in front finally began to move. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand suddenly regained control of the steering wheel. The sound of the engine starting at a high speed made Wenner prepared for Zuo Hancheng to race in the middle of the road. With Zuo Hancheng¡¯s driving skills, it would definitely be fine, but the other cars would probably be in trouble. As the car sped toward Night-Fire, Wenner said,¡±¡±This matter is a past that Miss Gu is unwilling to talk about. Although it didn¡¯t lead to a tragedy at that time and she had enough courage and guts to knock Gu Tianming unconscious, from then on, what happened that night became a dark memory that she couldn¡¯t erase. From then on, she became more and more rebellious. These were all things that she had to tell me when I was giving her psychological guidance, but she also forced me to swear that I wouldn¡¯t tell anyone.¡± ¡°Since I¡¯ve sworn, every word you said a minute ago will automatically be erased from my memory.¡±. Upon hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words that were so cold that it was as if ice shards had fallen out, Wenner smiled.¡±¡±l¡¯ve told you before that this is the best way to treat Miss Gu. However, the purpose of me telling you this is to let you be mentally prepared. I reckon that Gu Tianming has some dirty thoughts and plans. I know that you¡¯re a steady person, but if¡­¡¯ ¡°There are no ifs! Tell your men to stabilize the situation. If anything happens to Gu Anhao, Wenner, you can¡¯t afford to pay the price!¡±Zuo Hancheng stared at the road in front of the car with a cold expression. Wenner raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone again. However, he put down the phone a few minutes later. ¡°It¡¯s been more than half an hour, but the manager hasn¡¯t picked up my call. I can¡¯t get through to the front desk either.¡±Wenner frowned. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. He glanced at the time as he drove, and his brows furrowed even more deeply. His eyes were filled with a cold light that made Winner feel like his life was about to end. ¡°Come, come, Anhao, this is your Uncle Zhao. Quick, give Uncle Zhao a toast!¡± Night-Fire was already filled with toasts. It was only now that Anhao realized that Gu Tianming had originally planned to entertain Minister Zhao, who had come from Beijing, and a few powerful old cadres from there. However, what disgusted her the most was that the man whom she had to call Uncle Zhao was already in his fifties, almost sixty years old, but his eyes were always looking at her lecherously. Moreover, because she was sitting opposite him, his eyes were always looking at her short skirt. Anhao had previously thought that Gu Tianming might be planning to use her to facilitate something. Now, it seemed that her guess was right. She held the glass of wine in her hand and did not drink, but she had no choice but to put on an act. She called the 50 ¨C 60-year-old Minister Zhao uncle again and again, but she was so disgusted that she wanted to vomit on them. ¡°Anhao, go sit next to your Uncle Zhao and have a few drinks with him. Why did he only take a few sips of wine today?¡±Gu Tianming gave her a look and asked her to sit down. Anhao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and put down her wine glass. She turned around and glared at him.¡±Gu Tianming, are you going to sell me out?¡± Gu Tianming turned to look at her with a smile. ¡°Before the adoption contract expired, I should do my part as a father, don¡¯t you think so? You¡¯re already 20 years old now, right? It¡¯s considered a profit for you to think of a way to marry someone like Minister Zhao. After all, it¡¯s not easy to become Minister Zhao¡¯s woman. Even if you can only be a little girl, you won¡¯t lack food and clothes in the future. How about it? Am I a competent ¡®father¡¯?¡± Anhao almost picked up the glass again and splashed the wine on his face. Seeing that the surrounding officials were all from Beijing, she endured it. Long ago, she had already seen what the so-called officialdom looked like in the Gu family. Although not everyone was so evil, there were really many scum like Gu Tianming. Moreover, they all colluded and did all kinds of inhuman things. Now that she was an adult and twenty years old, he actually had designs on her! Did he want to give her to this fifty or sixty-year-old Minister Zhao in exchange for some kind of deal? Anhao sneered. She suddenly picked up the glass but did not splash it on him. Instead, she pretended not to hold the glass steadily and threw it on the ground. As everyone looked at her, she got up and sat next to Minister Zhao. She sat next to him and bent down to pick up the debris on the ground. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. My hand slipped and I didn¡¯t hold it properly just now. I¡¯ll pick it up first to prevent the fragments from pricking you¡­¡± As she spoke, she turned and smiled at the lecherous Minister Zhao. Minister Zhao immediately reached out to hold her hand.¡±There¡¯s no need to pick it up, just get the waiter to pick it up later. Come, Anhao, let¡¯s have a drink!¡± As he spoke, Minister Zhao stuffed a glass of wine in front of him into her hand. Anhao¡¯s other hand was still picking up the fragments. Suddenly, she exerted some force on her fingers and she let out a low cry. She raised her bloody finger and said with an aggrieved expression,¡±Aiya, it hurts¡­ Seeing that her fair and tender hand was cut and bleeding so much, Minister Zhao¡¯s heart ached so much that he wanted to grab it and hold it. Anhao cleverly pulled both hands out of his hands.¡± I¡¯ll go to the washroom to wash the blood¡­¡± Just as she was about to get up after she finished speaking, she suddenly felt something on her wrist. Gu Tianming reached out and pressed her wrist down. She turned to look at him. Gu Tianming looked threateningly at the light in her eyes that still refused to yield. He could not help but lower his voice and say,¡±You¡¯d better not play any tricks on me. Since she¡¯s already here, don¡¯t pretend to be innocent. Don¡¯t forget that Anping¡¯s weakness is still in my hands.. If you don¡¯t want your mother¡¯s matter to get out, you¡¯d better finish today¡¯s act obediently!¡± Chapter 324 - Chapter 324: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (9) Chapter 324: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (9) Translator: 549690339 Anhao smoothly walked out of the private room and turned around to enter the bathroom not far away from the corridor. After entering the bathroom, she quickly placed her hand under the tap to flush. Then, she heard footsteps outside. Gu Tianming had probably sent someone to monitor her to prevent her from escaping. She looked down at her short skirt and frowned. When she was still in the bar, although she wore non-mainstream clothes, she was only a little sexy and would not reveal so much. The skirt she was wearing now only needed a few steps for the hem to go up her thighs. Gu Tianming was clearly going to give her to that Minister Zhao tonight. Regardless of whether she was his daughter or not, he was going to give her to an old man in his fifties or sixties for his own benefit. How could a filthy person like Gu Tianming live in this world! He hadn¡¯t been struck to death by lightning! She quickly washed the blood off her hands and entered the toilet when the footsteps outside approached. She closed the door and sat on the toilet bowl. She ignored the place where her hands were still dripping blood and looked around. ¡°Miss Gu, are you done?¡± The bodyguard¡¯s voice came from outside the bathroom. ¡°Mayor Gu is urging you to go back quickly. Don¡¯t dampen everyone¡¯s spirits.¡± ¡°What are you rushing me for? My stomach doesn¡¯t feel well. Can¡¯t I let someone go to the toilet if I have a bad stomach?¡±Anhao said angrily. There was no sound outside, but she knew that the two bodyguards were still outside the bathroom. Gu Tianming had booked the entire nightclub, and she was the only one in the bathroom. If she didn¡¯t go out, the two bodyguards might walk in and take her out. Therefore, it was not a good idea to sit here all the time. Anhao looked down at her hand that was still dripping with blood, and her mind spun rapidly. This was the bathroom, the only place in the nightclub that did not have surveillance cameras. As soon as she walked out of here, she would immediately walk into the surveillance range. She did not know if the owner of this nightclub knew Gu Tianming or if they were colluding. After she left the bathroom, she would probably have even less chance to leave. However, her mother¡¯s documents were still in Gu Tianming¡¯s hands. She ignored the pain in her hands and clenched her fists. She usually fell into the most difficult hesitation and struggle for the first time. Five minutes later¡­ The panel in front of her was knocked on, and the two bodyguards walked in. Anhao sat on the toilet and pretended to have finished using the toilet. She flushed the toilet and opened the door. She looked at the two bodyguards expressionlessly.¡±What are you rushing me for? I already said that I had a stomachache. This place is filled with your people. It¡¯s impossible for me to run out. Is there a need to not even let go of the women¡¯s washroom?¡± The two bodyguards ignored her curses and complaints. They only looked at her coldly.¡±Miss Gu, can you go back to the private room now?¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes in annoyance and walked to the sink to let out the water. She washed the blood that had just flowed out of her hands and turned around to say,¡±¡±Which one of you has a band-aid on you? The cut on my hand is not small. It probably won¡¯t stop the bleeding for a while. Give me a few band-aids. I¡¯ll put them on to stop the bleeding temporarily.¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t.¡± ¡± Miss Gu,¡± the two bodyguards said coldly.¡± If you need them, we can ask someone to buy a few. But you have to go back to the private room now.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Then go buy it for me first. I¡¯ll put it on before going to the private room!¡± ¡°We¡¯re not going. We¡¯ll send someone else to buy it.¡±The two bodyguards looked at her indifferently.¡±Miss Gu, please follow us immediately. If you delay any longer, don¡¯t blame us for being rude.¡± Anhao held her breath and gritted her teeth in hatred. She knew that she couldn¡¯t send these people away easily. She frowned secretly and had no intention of following them. However, the two bodyguards had already walked in front of her and blocked her path like a solid wall. In front of these two tall bodyguards, it was better for Anhao not to show her martial arts. Otherwise, not only would she not be able to defeat them, but she might also suffer even more. She held it in and suddenly smiled.¡±Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± After following the two bodyguards back to the private room, Gu Tianming called her over to sit in the empty seat beside Minister Zhao. Anhao was unwilling, but when she saw the threat in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes, she cursed his ancestors in her heart. Anyway, his ancestor was not her ancestor, so she could scold him as she pleased. While she was angry at Gu Tianming, this shameless old thief, she walked to Minister Zhao¡¯s side and pretended to be happy to return. Before she sat down, Minister Zhao reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. ¡°How¡¯s Anhao¡¯s hand? Come, let me see!¡± As he spoke, Minister Zhao sat down with Anhao in his arms. At the same time, he held her little hand and looked it up and down. Then, he touched it again. Just as Anhao was about to pull her hand away, he suddenly said with a pained expression,¡±So fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so much, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, so fair and tender, ¡°No need.¡± Anhao smiled and pulled her hand out forcefully. At the same time, she moved to the side and tried to get away from Minister Zhao¡¯s arm. She said with a fake smile,¡±lt¡¯s just a small injury. It¡¯s not a big deal. Uncle Zhao, don¡¯t spoil the mood because of me. Continue drinking. It¡¯s rare for my ¡®dad¡¯ to invite you to a banquet.¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at Gu Tianming. Gu Tianming looked at her with satisfaction and raised his glass to toast Minister Zhao.¡±lt¡¯s rare for Minister Zhao to come to City A. How can we not treat him well? Anhao, what kind of wine does your Uncle Zhao like to drink? You can drink with him a few more glasses. Anyway, your alcohol tolerance has always been good. I believe you won¡¯t disappoint your Uncle Zhao ¡°Anhao really knows how to drink?¡± Minister Zhao immediately asked with a smile. Anhao laughed dryly.¡± I don¡¯t have much alcohol tolerance and I rarely drink. Uncle Zhao, don¡¯t listen to my dad¡¯s nonsense. He¡¯s just flattering me. Actually, I¡¯m the kind of person who will collapse after one glass. I definitely don¡¯t dare to drink too much alcohol. Otherwise, if I get drunk here, I¡¯ll be embarrassed.¡±¡® ¡® Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid. Come on, have a drink with me first.¡±¡±Minister Zhao immediately took a glass of white wine and handed it to her.¡±Come, drink this cup. Drink this cup. Even if you¡¯re drunk, Uncle Zhao will be responsible for sending you back!¡± Anhao looked at the glass of wine hesitantly. From what she remembered, there was no white wine on the table before she went to the bathroom. When was this white wine delivered? However, the scene in front of her did not allow her to hesitate for too long. She raised her hand to take the wine glass, but she stared at the wine in the glass and did not drink it for a long time. There was an 80% chance that there was something wrong with the wine.. What should he do? Chapter 325 - Chapter 325: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (10) Chapter 325: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (10) Translator: 549690339 Just as Anhao was still hesitating because of the glass of wine in her hand, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. Minister Zhao¡¯s hand was placed on her shoulder in a panic, and he smiled as he whispered into her ear, ¡°¡±You dare not drink the wine Uncle Zhao gave you?¡± Chief Zhao was clearly smiling, but his voice was filled with obvious pressure and a habitual sense of superiority that forced the people around him. Anhao held her wine glass tightly and suddenly turned to look at Gu Tianming. However, Gu Tianming also glanced at her coldly. That glance was clearly a warning to her. They had already come this far. If she dared to ruin his place at this time, he would definitely make her suffer. She didn¡¯t know if the wine was drugged. Anhao wasn¡¯t used to drinking white wine, and the pungent smell of the white wine masked other smells. She couldn¡¯t tell if there was anything in the wine. However, whether she had to take the risk of drinking this glass of wine or take another risk, her nervousness and hesitation could be clearly seen from her fingers that were gradually turning white. ¡°Come, Uncle Zhao will feed you!¡± Minister Zhao saw her cooperation and immediately exchanged glances with Gu Tianming. Gu Tianming smiled and Minister Zhao immediately understood. He immediately raised his hand to take the wine glass in Anhao¡¯s hand and put his other hand around her shoulder again. When Anhao froze for a moment, he handed her another glass of wine.¡±Are you afraid that there¡¯s something in this wine? How about this?¡± Anhao lowered her head and looked at the same glass of white wine. Her eyes were still a little distant, and the corners of her mouth were a little stiff. She slowly raised her hand and took the glass. ¡°Come, Uncle Zhao will personally toast you.¡± Minister Zhao smiled as he picked up the glass of white wine and clinked glasses with her. He smiled and drank the entire glass of white wine in one gulp. Anhao lowered her head to look at the glass of wine in front of her when she saw Minister Zhao drink the entire glass of wine. Maybe there was nothing in the wine. Although Gu Tianming did these disgusting things, there were so many people present. It was impossible for him to put something in the wine. Perhaps she was too nervous. Perhaps she could only find a chance to escape when she was alone with Minister Zhao after everyone left. With so many people present, especially under Gu Tianming¡¯s nose, she could not act rashly. Anhao comforted herself in her heart. She slowly raised the glass to her mouth and took a sip. However, she frowned because of the spicy taste. It was not that she had never drunk white wine before, but she used to drink foreign wine and beer in bars. White wine was not particularly popular in bars, so she did not have much contact with it. She had drunk it before, but she did not know how to drink it, so the moment it entered her mouth, she felt uncomfortable. However, she couldn¡¯t spit it out. She forced herself to swallow a mouthful and was about to put down the glass when Minister Zhao raised his hand to hold her hand.¡±Eh? I drank the whole cup, but you only took a sip? What was this? Haven¡¯t you heard of a saying in the bar? You¡¯re saying that you don¡¯t welcome your Uncle Zhao to A City?¡± Anhao¡¯s movements froze. She could only raise her glass and take another sip. She endured the horrible taste and closed her eyes, trying to force the glass of white wine down her throat like it was plain water. In the end, she choked and coughed repeatedly. Her face turned red, and her eyes turned red. Minister Zhao quickly patted her back lovingly. He leaned his face close to hers and said with concern,¡±Anhao, how are you? Are you alright?¡± Anhao almost vomited when she smelled the smell of alcohol on Zhao¡¯s body. She quickly put down the empty glass in her hand and tried to pull her hand out of his.¡±Uncle Zhao, my hand hurts. Please pinch it gently¡­¡± ¡°Aiyo, look at me. I forget things easily when I drink too much. I almost forgot that your hand was injured just now.¡±Minister Zhao quickly let go of her hand, but at the same time, he grabbed her other hand and rubbed it.¡±Your hand is so cold, Anhao¡­¡± Anhao smiled awkwardly and tried to pull her hand out of his hand again. However, she saw Gu Tianming put down his wine glass at the same time. When he looked at her, there was a look of determination in his eyes. What exactly did he want to exchange with Minister Zhao? Was it because of his status, fame, or some voting method in Beijing this year? Just as Anhao stiffly pulled her hand away from Minister Zhao¡¯s hand, she felt that her hand was touched by him so much that she wanted to wash it with 84 disinfectant hundreds of times. She really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°Uncle Zhao, I drank that glass of wine too quickly just now. I want to go out and get some fresh air¡­ Anhao was about to get up as she spoke, but the moment she got up, she felt a wave of dizziness in her head. Her body tilted to the side and she immediately fell back down. Minister Zhao raised his hand and hugged her waist, wanting to carry her onto his lap. Anhao quickly reached out to push him away, but her body suddenly went soft. The feeling of softness made her feel countless fears. What was in that glass of wine just now? She gulped and wanted to push Minister Zhao away, but he had already pulled her into his arms. Minister Zhao even held her little hand in front of everyone. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her little face as if he was hugging something that belonged to him. Anhao quickly turned her head to avoid it, and her hands kept scratching around, trying to push him away. However, it was as if all the strength in her body had been sucked out in an instant. It was so soft that she did not even have the strength to stand up. ¡°Uncle Zhao¡­Don¡¯t¡­¡± Just as Minister Zhao was about to lower his head and kiss her face, Anhao quickly turned her head away and pushed his face away. However, Minister Zhao¡¯s hand pressed her firmly on his lap and did not allow her to push him away. ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t be afraid. Uncle Zhao likes you. Uncle Zhao will take good care of you.. Minister Zhao¡¯s hand brushed across his back. Anhao mustered some strength and suddenly grabbed the wine glass beside her, spilling it all over him. Department Head Zhao immediately pushed Anhao, causing her to stumble and fall back onto the sofa. In the blink of an eye, Department Head Zhao hurriedly grabbed the tissue on the coffee table to wipe the alcohol off her body. At the same time, he turned his head to look at her with some dissatisfaction, then glanced in Gu Tianming¡¯s direction. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Gu Anhao¡¯s lack of understanding. Gu Tianming quickly stood up with a smile and said a few nice words. At the same time, he turned to glare at Anhao, who was sitting weakly on the sofa with red eyes. The warning in his eyes was obvious. ¡°Anhao, it¡¯s your honor to be able to sit here and drink with your Uncle Zhao. Don¡¯t be ungrateful and apologize to your Uncle Zhao!¡±Gu Tianming said coldly. Anhao gritted her teeth and didn¡¯t move. Just as Minister Zhao turned to look at her stubborn appearance and raised his eyebrows, he was about to lean down and pull her up when the door of the private room was suddenly opened from the outside.. Chapter 326 - Chapter 326: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (11) Chapter 326: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (11) Translator: 549690339 The moment the door opened, everyone in the private room looked at the door. A foreign man in a suit entered the nightclub surrounded by the bartender and manager. The important thing was that the foreign man didn¡¯t look like an ordinary person. The clothes he was wearing were expensive, and the bartender and waiters behind him were all respectful. Seeing this, Gu Tianming immediately looked at the foreign man seriously.¡±You are¡­?¡± Wenner? Anhao was sitting on the sofa. Her vision was a little blurry, and she couldn¡¯t see anything clearly. However, the moment Wenner suddenly walked through the door, she could still see clearly. She looked at Wenner, who suddenly appeared in the room, in confusion. ¡°Are you Mayor Gu?¡± Wenner acted as if he didn¡¯t see Anhao. He walked in and greeted her warmly and politely,¡±¡±Hello, Mayor Gu. I¡¯m the investor of this nightclub. My name is Wenner. This is my business card.¡± When Gu Tianming heard that this foreigner was the owner of this bar, he raised his eyebrows and stood up to take the business card.¡±Oh? Wenner? I didn¡¯t expect this nightclub to be owned by a foreigner. Now that Westerners are doing business in our country, are they forcing us Chinese to develop overseas?¡± Gu Tianming was only joking, and the people in the private room also cooperated and laughed along. However, Wenner raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Mayor Gu, I¡¯ve just returned from overseas and heard that Night-Fire has been booked by Mayor Gu tonight. I didn¡¯t expect that Night-Fire would be able to gain Mayor Gu¡¯s favor so soon after its opening, so I rushed over to see you with my own eyes!¡± ¡°Mr. Wenner, you¡¯re too polite. It¡¯s fate that I chose you here. I specially invited some friends from Beijing tonight. Since Mr. Wenner is the boss here, why don¡¯t you recommend some good wine to us?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t understand the situation in front of her. She just sat quietly on the sofa and watched as Wenner and Gu Tianming chatted and laughed, completely ignoring her. So the business Wenner had in A City that Zuo Hancheng mentioned was actually this Night-Fire nightclub? She actually happened to run into Wenner¡¯s territory? Did Wenner really not see her or was he deliberately ignoring her? Anhao was a little puzzled. However, seeing that Wenner had been focused on taking Gu Tianming¡¯s big step back, and seeing Wenner¡¯s authentic Chinese businessman-like attitude, she secretly frowned. She didn¡¯t know if she could ask him for help. ¡°It is my great honor that Mayor Gu has chosen Night-Fire. I will pay for the entire venue tonight. Mayor Gu and everyone else can eat and drink as much as you want.¡± When he heard that the nightclub owner was actually giving him so much face, Gu Tianming, who had always cared about his face, immediately smiled from the bottom of his heart. He smiled politely and said, ¡°How can that do? You are doing your business, and we should be spending our money. As the mayor of A City, how can you take the money from Old Bai? You won¡¯t miss a single cent of the money you should spend!¡± ¡°Mayor Gu, you¡¯re too polite. As long as you¡¯re enjoying yourselves here, you¡¯re already gilding our nightclub by sitting and drinking in our Night-Fire! How can I take your money!¡± Wenner also smiled very skillfully and reached out to shake Gu Tianming¡¯s hand.¡±lt is Night-Fire¡¯s greatest honor to have Mayor Gu here! I¡¯ll have to thank Mayor Gu for taking care of me in the future!¡± Gu Tianming immediately felt proud. After a few words, he planned to pull Wenner over for a few drinks. Wenner rejected him immediately.¡± No, you guys are enjoying yourselves here. I still have a friend over there. I have a very influential friend in the business world who I managed to get over here to help me take a look at the various designs and furnishings in Night-Fire. They¡¯re all here, but I didn¡¯t expect Night-Fire to be booked tonight. That¡¯s why I came over to take a look and see how you guys are doing! I won¡¯t disturb you guys drinking. You guys continue, continue!¡± With that, Wenner took a step back and prepared to leave. ¡°Your friend in the business world? Is he the CEO of some corporation in A City or a foreign friend who came back from abroad like you? Why don¡¯t you call him in for a few drinks?¡± Gu Tianming invited her with a flushed face. ¡°That¡¯s not good¡­¡± Wenner laughed. ¡°Call your friends in. Since we¡¯re in the business world, we might all know each other or maybe we¡¯re old friends. Call them over and have a few drinks together!¡±¡± Let¡¯s go!¡± Director Zhao suddenly said as he sat back down on the sofa. He grabbed Anhao, who was leaning weakly on the sofa, and put his arm around her shoulders. Anhao, who had been hiding behind everyone, was instantly embraced by Minister Zhao. The lights in the private room fell on her, and she looked up at Wenner at the same time. Wenner seemed to have only just seen Anhao, but his eyes only swept past her, as if he didn¡¯t know her at all. He smiled and looked at Minister Zhao who was beside her.¡±This is¡­¡± ¡°This is Minister Zhao trom Beijing. He is a senior figure in the National Academy of Sciences and is very famous in our country¡¯s political circles.¡±Gu Tianming introduced as he said, ¡°It just so happens that Minister Zhao and I are discussing the transportation and development between City A and Beijing this year. There are no lack of politicians here, but there are no wealthy businessmen. Your friend appearing here at this time might be fate. Mr. Wenner, why don¡¯t you call him in and introduce him to us?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no need for a recommendation. I reckon everyone here should have heard of my friend.¡±Wenner smiled.¡± Since Mayor Gu and Minister Zhao are so enthusiastic, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be insensible if I refuse. How about this? I¡¯ll ask my friend for his opinion. Please wait a moment.¡±¡® From the moment Wenner suddenly walked in to the moment he walked out with a smile, his gaze never lingered on Anhao for more than a second. However, Anhao was staring at the door. Wenner should be with Zuo Hancheng today, so the friend Wenner mentioned could not be¡­ The people in the private room were all curious about the identity of the friend of the boss of Night-Fire. Minister Zhao was also curious as he chatted with Gu Tianming about the boss of the nightclub. The atmosphere instantly reached a boiling point. Anhao also managed to escape from Minister Zhao¡¯s arms temporarily because of the atmosphere, but she was still weak and could only lean on the sofa without moving, trying to avoid Minister Zhao¡¯s touch. She had tried to call Zuo Hancheng before, hoping that he would help her escape if he sensed that something was wrong. However, in this situation, she looked at the short skirt under her and began to feel a faint fear. However, the door to the private room was suddenly opened a few minutes later. The moment Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure appeared in front of the door, Anhao¡¯s breathing almost stopped.. Chapter 327 - Chapter 327: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (12) Chapter 327: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (12) Translator: 549690339 The moment Zuo Hancheng appeared, everyone in the private room was stunned. In the next moment, Gu Tianming looked at Zuo Hancheng in shock and stood up slowly at the same time. The moment Zuo Hancheng entered the room, Anhao raised her head and met his gaze. His gaze was very cold, but no other emotions could be seen. His cold gaze only pierced into her eyes the moment they met. Anhao immediately felt as if a cold needle had drilled into her heart, making her shiver violently. However, it was only for a moment before Hancheng¡¯s gaze shifted away from her. Just like Wenner just now, he did not seem to know her. Anhao¡¯s heart was beating rapidly, and the atmosphere around her changed slightly because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s appearance. Gu Tianming was naturally the first to react, but he obviously did not expect to meet a person like Zuo Hancheng here. He wanted to go forward and speak, but he did not speak rashly. Gu Tianming only looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief until Wenner walked in behind him and introduced him with a warm smile.¡±Come, let me introduce you. This is a friend I invited today. He¡¯s the international CEO of Shengling Group. Do you still need me to introduce you?¡± ¡°Shengling Group?¡± Although Minister Zhao was usually in Beijing and had never seen Zuo Hancheng¡¯s true face, he immediately looked up in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction when he heard the words ¡± CEO ¡± and ¡± Shengling Group.¡± Gu Tianming smiled and said,¡± I thought you looked familiar just now. It¡¯s indeed Mr. Zuo. I remember that the last time we met was eight months ago at the provincial business and political joint meeting. At that time, I didn¡¯t manage to negotiate with Mr. Zuo, so I¡¯ve always felt a little regretful. He did not expect to meet her here today. This was really fate!¡± Gu Tianming walked over to greet him as he spoke. When he reached Zuo Hancheng, he extended his hand politely to shake his hand. Zuo Hancheng had one hand in his pocket the entire time, as if he did not see Gu Tianming¡¯s outstretched hand. His indifferent gaze swept past him, and his gaze suddenly fell on Gu Anhao. After all, Gu Tianming had been in the political circles for many years. Zuo Hancheng, a big shot that even the province could not invite, had always kept a low profile. He had repeatedly wanted to have some contact and friendship with this person who had almost monopolized the economic and commercial network of City A five years ago, but Zuo Hancheng was an extremely difficult person to deal with. In the past five years, the invitations that he had sent out on behalf of the mayor and the political power had been rejected by Shengling Group every time. Zuo Hancheng had always been elusive. Today, he had suddenly appeared here. It was already suspicious enough. However, when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze landed accurately in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction, Gu Tianming, who was standing very close to him, immediately saw the sharp glint in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. Gu Tianming¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He turned around and looked in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction unexpectedly. He saw that Gu Anhao, who had been trying to find a way to avoid such an occasion and always caused trouble, was now sitting quietly on the sofa. It was as if she had become a different person. She was so quiet that it was a little strange. After a few rounds of observation, Gu Tianming was not sure what was going on. However, Zuo Hancheng could not leave A City, and A City could not offend him. Otherwise, if Shengling Group, which had already monopolized the main economy of A City, left, the economic ratio of A City would definitely drop in an instant. It would also be pushed down by at least five or six places from the first-tier cities in the country. This would definitely affect his future career. Gu Tianming observed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze with some caution. Then, he saw that Wenner, who had walked in later, had a strange smile on his face. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched. He felt that the silent atmosphere in front of him was the beginning of some kind of disaster. He instinctively retracted his hand that Zuo Hancheng had completely ignored and smiled. ¡°Mr. Zuo has been leading your company into the business world of City A for so long, but you haven¡¯t had any private contact with me. It¡¯s rare to see you today.¡± As soon as Gu Tianming finished speaking, Minister Zhao stood up and walked over at the same time. He looked at Zuo Hancheng with admiration.¡± I¡¯ve long heard of Shengling Group¡¯s great name, but I didn¡¯t expect the person in charge of Shengling Group to be so young. Since you¡¯re already here, let¡¯s sit down and get to know each other. After all, the officialdom is inseparable from the business world, and the business world is inseparable from the officialdom. I heard that President Zuo has rarely had any contact with the political world in City A. Could it be that he has never planned to participate in too many projects and investments related to the government? After all, the development prospects of City A were also related to how strong Shengling Group¡¯s foothold was.¡± Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze away from Gu Anhao, who was curled up on the sofa like an ostrich. He glanced at Minister Zhao, who had just placed his hand on Anhao¡¯s shoulder. The smile in his eyes was cold and did not reach his eyes. His voice was so cold that it seemed to be as far away as a few glaciers.¡±Minister Zhao, I haven¡¯t seen you before, but I recognize you.¡± Upon hearing this, Minister Zhao, who had already drunk quite a bit, reached out to shake his hand. However, Zuo Hancheng merely glanced at his outstretched hand and said calmly, ¡®¡±¡®1 wonder if the misunderstanding between Minister Zhao and General Ouyang two years ago has been resolved? Do you need me to help you pass a few words?¡± Minister Zhao¡¯s smiling old face was instantly stunned. He looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief. This¡­ Gu Tianming, who was standing at the side, knew that Minister Zhao had offended Ouyang Shangguan back then and almost lost his position in the National X Council. However, he did not expect Zuo Hancheng to know about such a confidential matter. The reason why Shengling Group was not to be trifled with was not only because of its strong financial resources in the country, but also because the Zuo family and Shengling Group seemed to have an unbreakable relationship and status in the domestic military world. Even a cautious person like General Ouyang would draft a letter to decide to hand over the manufacturing rights of domestic military equipment to the factory under Shengling Group. It was obvious that this relationship was indeed extraordinary. Zuo Hancheng was already the target of many people in the political world who wanted to collude with him but had never succeeded. However, he held a few important economic resources in the coastal areas near A City. Just a simple stomp of his foot was enough to shock nearly ten provinces around him. In addition, the forces behind them were in the military and hidden in the dark. Although Zuo Hancheng was only a businessman in their eyes, he was definitely a threat. Hearing him suddenly say something that was almost touching Minister Zhao¡¯s Achilles ¡®heel, Minister Zhao and Gu Tianming looked at each other silently. She really did not understand why Zuo Hancheng would suddenly appear with such an attitude.. Could it be that one of them had offended him? Chapter 328 - Chapter 328: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (13) Chapter 328: Who Offended Zuo Hancheng (13) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Since this Zuo is able to gather with the two of you, it seems that tonight¡¯s banquet will have to change its theme.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled coldly and looked in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction expressionlessly. His voice was still clear.¡±Since we¡¯re talking about serious matters, shouldn¡¯t the people in this room who have nothing to do with it leave quickly?¡± When he noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was on Gu Anhao again, Gu Tianming frowned and realized that something was wrong. However, seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not have any intention of doing anything at this moment, Gu Tianming was a cunning person. He sensed that something was wrong and quickly echoed, ¡°Yes, yes. Since we rarely meet, tonight is a good opportunity to talk about business.¡± As he spoke, Gu Tianming suddenly turned around and looked behind him.¡±You guys go out first. I have something important to discuss with Minister Zhao, Director Li, Director Xiao, and President Zuo tonight.¡± At the same time, Gu Tianming gave the waiters in the room a look.¡±Quickly clean up and exchange some other good wine for these messy things¡­¡± Minister Zhao nodded repeatedly. He was excited that he had gained a lot today. ¡°Yes, quickly withdraw and let these unrelated people leave.¡± Although Minister Zhao had already planned to let Gu Tianming¡¯s illegitimate daughter, Gu Anhao, accompany him tonight, he wanted to have a taste of this young lady¡¯s soul. However, with Zuo Hancheng, who had shocked the domestic business world in recent years, appearing here and using the grudge between General Ouyang and him to divert the topic, his future and friendship with Zuo Hancheng were definitely more important. They would be able to taste that kind of fresh and tender young lady sooner or later. There was no hurry. The most important thing now was to rope Zuo Hancheng in, lest one day, this man with an extraordinary status in the domestic business world stood in opposition to them. A few beautiful women who had been specially called in by Gu Tianming from other places had already entered the private room. Those women were chased out in the blink of an eye, and only Anhao remained sitting on the sofa without moving. At this moment, Wenner looked in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction and saw that her face was unnaturally red. He immediately guessed that Gu Tianming had arranged for someone to put something in her wine. He could only feel the cold wind coming from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body. In order to ensure that his newly opened nightclub would not be burned down by Zuo Hancheng, he had to hurry up and take the little descendant who almost got into an accident away from the scene! Seeing that Wenner and Zuo Hancheng were both looking at Gu Anhao, and Gu Tianming did not say anything, Minister Zhao smiled and explained, in order to avoid being discovered about the dirty dealings and transactions between him and Gu Tianming,¡±¡±This is Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter, Gu Anhao. I heard that she¡¯s on winter vacation and has nothing to do at home, so she came out with her father to see the world. If Mr. Zuo is very bothered by Miss Gu¡¯s presence, we will send Miss Gu out immediately. She just drank a glass of white wine, so she should be too drunk to stand up now.¡± As Minister Zhao spoke, he gave Gu Tianming a look. Gu Tianming turned around and said to the bodyguard at the door,¡± Take Anhao out. She¡¯s drunk too much. Help her book a room at a nearby hotel¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. The few floors above us are all good suites. Send her upstairs directly.¡±The lobby manager, who had just entered the door, suddenly stood up and spoke when he saw the boss, Wenner. Gu Tianming paused. He couldn¡¯t hide it too clearly for a moment, so he could only nod. The two bodyguards walked in and helped Gu Anhao up. As they helped her out, they brushed past Zuo Hancheng. Gu Anhao did not dare to look up at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. She could only feel the coldness that was suppressed under his calm expression. It was very cold. It was so cold that she did not dare to turn around. Just as she was pulled to the door, the lobby manager walked up again.¡±Let¡¯s send Miss Gu upstairs to rest.¡± ¡°No need, we can just send it over.¡± The bodyguard¡¯s voice was very serious as he refused sternly. Just as the bodyguards were not planning to hand Gu Anhao over to anyone else, Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned around and swept his cold gaze across the two bodyguards. Seeing this, Gu Tianming quickly said, ¡°Leave Anhao to them. It¡¯s okay. I believe that Mr. Wenner¡¯s staff will arrange a comfortable room for her.¡± After hearing Mayor Gu¡¯s words, the two bodyguards released Gu Anhao¡¯s arm. The lobby manager gave the two waitresses a look, and the two waitresses quickly came forward to support Gu Anhao, who could barely stand.¡±¡±Miss Gu, are you alright?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She only shook her head and slowly lowered her head, trying to pull down her frighteningly short skirt. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold eyes did not seem to be looking at her. However, when Anhao¡¯s short skirt was about to go up, he suddenly took off his black jacket and handed it to her with a cold expression.¡±Put it on her.¡± The waitress took it nervously and obediently put the clothes on Anhao before helping her out. Mayor Gu and Minister Zhao were secretly shocked by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s action of handing over the clothes. They did not dare to show any surprise on the surface and only observed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s every move in surprise. When Gu Anhao was brought out of the room, Wenner closed the door from the inside. She paused outside the door and looked back at the door behind her. ¡°Miss Gu, let¡¯s send you upstairs.¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment before nodding. She couldn¡¯t help much now. Moreover, even if she went back to the private room now, she would make the situation even more chaotic. Although she did not know what Zuo Hancheng was planning, she could tell from his few words and tone that he had no intention of giving face to Gu Tianming and Minister Zhao. She could not see the flames of war in the private room, but she remembered that Wenner had glanced at her as if he was saying,¡± You¡¯re on your own. It was easy to explain why Gu Tianming had sent someone to forcefully bring her to the City Hall. However, after that, she had taken the initiative to change into this dress and followed Gu Tianming here. How was she going to explain this? The information sheet and photo of An Ping, which was written in English, flashed across Anhao¡¯s mind. Anhao¡¯s hands gradually clenched into fists, but because her body was too hot and she did not have much strength, she could not clench them any harder. She could only slowly release her fingers and let the two waitresses take her through the corridor at the back into the elevator that led to the suite upstairs. However, the cold gaze that Zuo Hancheng had cast at her just now was like a cold needle that had pierced into her heart. She felt that she was going to suffer an extraordinary price. How many times had she offended him? It was not the first time that Zuo Hancheng, who had always been calm and good-tempered, had been provoked by her.. Today was even more so¡­The look in his eyes just now¡­Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end¡­ Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: It’s So Hot, Help Me (1) Chapter 329: It¡¯s So Hot, Help Me (1) Translator: 549690339 It was very quiet outside the room. Anhao had been sitting on the bed in the room. She did not know when Zuo Hancheng would suddenly come in, nor did she know what was going on in the private room downstairs. Her body was uncomfortably hot, and her throat was dry, all the way to her stomach. It was as if there was a fire burning in her body. It was not that she had not eaten this kind of thing before. She had already tasted it on the day she first met Zuo Hancheng a few months ago. However, she had vomited a lot at that time, so the effects of the medicine quickly passed. However, she did not know how much medicine was added to the glass of white wine just now. Anhao felt that she was about to combust. The wait was too torturous, so she got up and went into the bathroom. Before she entered the bathroom, her entire body was weak and powerless. She twisted the flowers in the bathroom and adjusted the water to the coldest temperature. Only when the cold water splashed on her body did she feel more comfortable. In the end, she filled the bathtub with cold water and sat in the bathtub to soak. After soaking in the cold water for a long time, Anhao almost collapsed. She barely managed to hold on to her last bit of consciousness and climbed out of the bathtub. She took off the clothes that were even more unable to cover her body after soaking in the water and threw them on the ground. She grabbed the towel and bathrobe and wrapped herself completely. In the end, she leaned against the wall in the bathroom and could barely stand still. She did not even have the strength to walk out. After a long time, she barely managed to walk out of the bathroom. She staggered and could only use her hands to support herself against the wall. Her head was dizzy, and although the heat on her body had mostly dissipated, she still felt uncomfortable. She forced herself to sit by the coffee table and pour herself a glass of water, but her hands were shaking so much that she couldn¡¯t even hold the glass. Just as she was about to raise the cup to her mouth, her hand suddenly trembled and the cup fell to the ground. The full cup of water spilled onto the carpet under her feet. Anhao froze. She had been soaking in the cold water for too long, and now she had a headache. The feeling of alternating between hot and cold was worse than death. She closed her eyes and curled up on the sofa, hugging herself tightly with both hands. She closed her eyes and wanted to rest for a while. However, when she closed her eyes, all she could see was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent glance at her when he walked in. Would Zuo Hancheng come back and strangle her to death? Anhao curled up on the sofa and had a dream. In her dream, Zuo Hancheng rushed in angrily and questioned her why she had come out to drink with him, why she had no self-respect, and why she had left with Gu Tianming. He was so angry that he strangled her neck and cursed her. Anhao woke up in shock. She opened her sweaty eyes and looked around. She raised her hand and touched her neck before letting out a sigh of relief. She turned to look at the time and realized that it had been less than an hour since she fell asleep. She had just fallen asleep, and she had already had such a nightmare. It was better for her not to fall asleep again. No matter how angry Zuo Hancheng was today, she would just accept it one by one. She would not die anyway. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching from outside the door. At the same time, she heard the voice of the waitress who had sent her up. ¡°Mr. Zuo, Miss Gu has been in her room for more than an hour. She should be asleep by now.¡± There was no response from Zuo Hancheng outside. The only thing that could be heard was the footsteps of the waitress as she turned around and walked away. Although she did not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps, Anhao instinctively turned to look at the door and felt that he was standing outside the door. He had just comforted himself, but now his heart was on tenterhooks again. The hand hidden in the sleeve of the bathrobe quietly clenched into a fist and placed it on his heart. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. The sound of the door being unlocked came from the door, followed by familiar footsteps approaching the sofa where she was. Anhao¡¯s eyes were tightly shut and her hand was tightly placed on her chest. Her body was stiff on the sofa and did not move. Just as she felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was on her, she tried her best to calm herself down so that he would not see that she was pretending to be asleep. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not calm herself down. Being stared at by Zuo Hancheng like that, she felt as if thousands of holes were about to appear on her body. Just as Anhao was about to give up and open her eyes, she suddenly felt a warmth on her body. A blanket that came out of nowhere covered her body. She opened her eyes immediately and saw Zuo Hancheng covering her with the blanket. At the same time, he tucked the two corners of the blanket beside her to prevent it from slipping off her body. This gentle and patient action made her, who was already prepared to endure his fury, instantly collapse. Anhao, who had been very stubborn in her heart, instantly had her eyes turn red. She looked at him with red eyes and choked as she whispered, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you scold me?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He was not surprised when she opened her eyes. He had obviously seen through her pretense but he did not intend to expose her. Faced with Anhao¡¯s question, Zuo Hancheng sat down on the sofa beside her. He did not look at her, but looked calmly at the clothes that she had thrown at the bathroom door. Seeing that he didn¡¯t say anything, Anhao was truly flustered. This made her feel even less grounded than letting him scold her. She quickly sat up and raised her small hand to gently tug at his shirt sleeve.¡±Are you very angry?¡± Zuo Hancheng still did not respond. Anhao raised both of her hands to hug his arms.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you angry at me?¡± ¡°How can I not be angry?¡± Finally, Zuo Hancheng replied to her and turned to look at her. The moment he turned around, she could clearly see the coldness and anger hidden in his eyes at such a close distance, but he suppressed them very well. Hearing that he was really angry, Anhao¡¯s hand trembled.¡±¡±Then why didn¡¯t you scold me? Why aren¡¯t you talking about me?¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at her for a long time and said in a light and cold voice,¡±¡±Because you are afraid.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t move. She only looked up and met his calm black eyes. In his eyes that hid his anger, she saw the heartache and pity that grew. She had thought of thousands of possible outcomes after Zuo Hancheng came to this room, but she never expected it to be like this. He was indeed angry, but because she was afraid, he chose to endure and give up on anger and punishment. Anhao didn¡¯t want to cry at first. After all, when she chose to leave with Gu Tianming today, she knew that no matter what the outcome and price would be, it was her own choice, even if she might become people from two different worlds from Zuo Hancheng. However, Zuo Hancheng had come. He had appeared at the right time and brought her out of her misery like a divine weapon that had descended from the heavens. She had not been forced to separate from him. Anhao heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was really afraid of facing his anger and sarcasm. However, he only sat on the same sofa as her and covered her with the blanket. He said that it was because she was afraid.. Chapter 330 - Chapter 330: It’s So Hot, Help Me (2) Chapter 330: It¡¯s So Hot, Help Me (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked at him with red eyes and was speechless for a long time. Her heart was filled with tenderness from him. She could only continue to raise her small hand to gently tug at his shirt sleeve. After a long time, she choked and said,¡±l¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the reason?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked calmly.¡± She knew that he would definitely ask her. Anhao thought that he would be furious and ask her, but she didn¡¯t expect him to ask in such a gentle tone. She had been prepared to say nothing, but when she saw Zuo Hancheng coaxing her in such a soft voice, she could only look at him with red eyes and pout her lips.¡±Can I not say it?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was not satisfied with her answer. His elegant eyebrows moved slightly.¡±Anhao, who am I?¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­ ¡°Other than that?¡± he asked in a cold tone.¡¯ Anhao pursed her lips and didn¡¯t answer. Other than that, he was also her husband. He was the person who had always protected her and saved her from the fire and water today. Therefore, she should not hide anything from him. She should indeed let him know the truth and know why she was willing to come to such a place with Gu Tianming. With Anhao¡¯s personality, she definitely wouldn¡¯t compromise so easily. She also wouldn¡¯t follow them here so foolishly even though she knew that it was dangerous here. But she still came. Anyone else would have doubts about this, let alone Zuo Hancheng, who knew her so well. Seeing Zuo Hancheng like this, Anhao no longer had the instinctive resistance in her heart. She suddenly took the initiative to lean her head on his shoulder as if she was seeking a safe support and comfort. She said in a very, very soft voice, ¡®¡±Give me some time to think it over. Let me think about it before we talk about this, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her little head and did not speak for a while. He was probably still suppressing his anger. Anhao quickly raised her arms to hug his neck and said coquettishly,¡±¡±Give me some time. You should know that I am not the kind of person who does not have my own opinions. There must be a reason why this suddenly happened today. After I digest these things, I will think about how to tell you¡­ls it okay¡­¡± A pleading voice rang out from her mouth. Zuo Hancheng lifted her chin and made her look at him. Their eyes met. This was the first time he saw the obvious hurt and hesitation in Anhao¡¯s eyes. This was an expression that Anhao, who had always used a rebellious mask to cover up all traces of her injuries, would not easily show. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows furrowed slightly. Just when Anhao thought that he would reject her, he stroked the stray hair on her forehead, his eyes were cold but filled with warmth. ¡°How long will it take?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Anhao leaned her head on his shoulder again and hugged his neck tightly.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng, I know that you love me, but sometimes, there are some things that I need to bear alone. There are also some paths that I need to try and walk alone. After all, everyone¡¯s life is different. If I really rely on you too much, I will gradually lose those hard shells that belong to me. In this way, I will no longer be able to live independently. Give me some time and space¡­ Is it okay¡­¡± ¡°Under normal circumstances, there¡¯s nothing wrong with giving you freedom.¡±¡± But Anhao, you know what happened today. As your husband, I¡¯m already tolerating you the most by sitting here and asking you the reason calmly. What more space do you want?¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She rubbed her head against his chest and changed the topic.¡±My body feels so uncomfortable¡­¡± It was impossible for Zuo Hancheng not to feel the unusual heat on her body and the slight hoarseness in her voice when she spoke. Anhao lifted her head with a little grievance and leaned into his arms like a little bird.¡±l soaked in cold water for a long time just now, but now I¡¯m starting to feel uncomfortable again. What should I do?¡± If this was any other time, Zuo Hancheng would have thrown her onto the bed and settled it in a way that both of them liked. Anyway, Anhao was not on her period yet, but Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear what she said. It was more like he was deliberately torturing her. He lowered his eyes and looked at her red face and the faint embarrassed pleading in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°The wine you chose to drink, you have to bear it.¡± Anhao glared at him and rubbed her burning face against his neck. ¡°Uncomfortable¡­Uncomfortable¡­Help me¡­¡¯ This was the first time Anhao took the initiative. She hugged his neck tightly with her arms, like an octopus. Her tightly closed legs kept rubbing back and forth, and she said in a hoarse voice,¡±Zuo Hancheng, please help me¡­ Uncomfortable (Uncomfortable) However, Zuo Hancheng was deliberately torturing her today. He did not cooperate with her and did not hug her even though she had taken the initiative to seduce him. He just let her sit in his arms and wriggled her body back and forth on his chest and legs like a saint who did not want to fall into her net. Anhao was so anxious that her eyes turned redder and redder. She whined in his arms,¡±¡±Help me¡­Uncomfortable¡­So hot¡­Quickly help me¡­¡± ¡°Do you feel uncomfortable?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly. Anhao pursed her lips, feeling like she was about to tear his shirt off and kiss him. She tried her best to suppress the heat in her body. She opened her eyes wide and looked at his handsome face. She raised her hand to touch his mouth and caressed his lips. Suddenly, she leaned over to kiss his cold thin lips. However, Zuo Hancheng did not respond the moment she kissed him. She opened her eyes and saw that he was looking at her, as if he was enjoying the torture she was suffering. ¡°If you feel uncomfortable, then endure it. Otherwise, how will you remember?¡± Hearing his cold words, Anhao¡¯s anger instantly rose to her heart. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just change into sexy clothes and come to the nightclub? Didn¡¯t I not let anyone take advantage of me? I didn¡¯t do anything to anyone. Why are you torturing me like this?¡± Anhao was angry and aggrieved at the same time. She rubbed herself against his chest forcefully.¡±Hurry up and help me with my decision. I¡¯m about to die from the heat¡­ Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t be so indifferent¡­Don¡¯t torture me like this¡­Hurry up and help me¡­¡± As she spoke, she grabbed his hand and pressed it against her body.¡±My period left the day before yesterday. Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted me to make it up to you? Come quickly, I¡¯ll make it up to you now. I¡¯ll make it up to you a thousand times over.. You can¡¯t miss such a good opportunity¡­¡± Chapter 331 - Chapter 331: It’s So Hot, Help Me (3) Chapter 331: It¡¯s So Hot, Help Me (3) Translator: 549690339 However, no matter how much she took the initiative, Zuo Hancheng was determined to be the unperturbed Liu Xiahui! Anhao was furious. She hugged his neck and suddenly raised her head to bite his neck. However, she did not have much strength left in her body and tried her best to bite him. It was only when Zuo Hancheng turned his head slightly to avoid her bite that she felt like a little puppy that she could see the restraint in his eyes when she looked up. It was impossible for him not to feel anything, but he refused to touch her! ¡± Your wife wants to be a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict, a sex addict I told you that I would tell you the reason after I thought about it. You can¡¯t torture me like this. Hurry up¡­ Hurry up and help me with the treatment. Anhao grabbed his hand and pressed it to her chest. She let out a soft snort and leaned into his embrace. However, Zuo Hancheng did not take the next step. Anhao raised her hand again and reached into his shirt, which had already been unbuttoned by her, to feel his chest. The man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand, the man in the hand. Your sister! Zuo Hancheng was going to be the abstinence type tonight, wasn¡¯t he? Anhao reached out to tug at his clothes, but just as Zuo Hancheng suddenly pressed her onto the sofa and pinned her firmly under him, Anhao blinked at him with an aggrieved look. She was so anxious that tears were about to fall out.¡±Zuo Hancheng, I want.. ¡°What do you want?¡± His voice was as clear as a spring, and his gaze was so calm! Anhao hated herself for knowing that he was deliberately torturing her, but she still couldn¡¯t take it anymore and had to whisper,¡±¡±l want you to love me¡­¡± When she said this, her face was as red as a cooked prawn, whether it was because of the medicine or because of shyness. Zuo Hancheng, however, snorted with a calm expression.¡±Do I not love you enough?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not talking about the kind of love. I¡¯m talking about this kind of¡­¡± She glanced at herself and then looked at him innocently.¡±l beg of you, or else I will die from exhaustion tonight.. Zuo Hancheng was only listening to her, but he easily held her down when she wanted to raise her hand to touch him and take advantage of him. At this moment, she had no strength at all. Usually, she could not beat him, and now it was even more impossible for her to fight against his strength. The important thing was that she was already suffering, and he was still pressing her down on the sofa in such an ambiguous manner. The temperature between their bodies was so hot that it was about to burn up. She felt that she was really about to combust, but Zuo Hancheng refused to touch her and restrained her from moving. Anhao could not help but raise her head and pout her lips to kiss him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips were especially alluring today. Even if she did not let her body move, it would be good to let her kiss him to relieve the little desire in her heart. However, Zuo Hancheng remained unmoved despite her pouting. This damned immobility! In the end, Anhao laid her head back onto the sofa weakly. She had no strength left and could only widen her eyes.¡±l¡¯d rather you teach me a lesson in a serious and cold manner than to torture me like this! Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re too ruthless!¡± ¡°After being married for so long, how many times have you tortured me?¡± You¡¯re asking for trouble this time. I don¡¯t have to satisfy you so easily just because you¡¯re uncomfortable. Enjoy this feeling. You¡¯ll only learn your lesson after you¡¯ve learned your lesson, huh?¡± Anhao was about to retort, but Zuo Hancheng had already stood up and tidied up his shirt that was a little messy from her tearing. At the same time, the doorbell suddenly rang. Hearing the ringtone, Anhao turned to look at the door in surprise. Then, she heard Gu Tianming¡¯s voice from outside.¡±Mr. Zuo, can you come out and talk to It was actually Gu Tianming¡¯s voice. Anhao immediately sat up in disbelief, but her body was on fire and she had no strength at all. She struggled for a while and could only lie on the sofa. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was calmly walking towards the door, with a surprised expression. The door was opened. Zuo Hancheng, of course, would not let Gu Tianming see Anhao lying on the sofa with a flushed face. Anhao looked out the door, but before she could see who was outside, Zuo Hancheng closed the door with a bang the moment he walked out. Why was Gu Tianming looking for Zuo Hancheng? Anhao tried her best to sit up, but she could vaguely hear Gu Tianming¡¯s voice from outside. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. It was as if Gu Tianming was saying, ¡°I wonder about Anhao¡¯s relationship with you, Mr. Zuo¡­¡± ¡± Mr. Zuo, please don¡¯t mind what happened today. After all, Anhao is my daughter.¡¯¡±¡® I hope Mr. Zuo will consider the fact that Anhao is a child of the Gu family¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Anhao to have such fate with Mr. Zuo¡­¡± ¡°Mister Zuo, please¡­¡± All she could probably hear was what Gu Tianming said in a low voice outside. She didn¡¯t hear anything more or anything specific. However, she could clearly hear that Gu Tianming was very remorseful about accidentally offending Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, his words seemed to be asking for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forgiveness. He even tried to ease the awkwardness today by using her relationship with the Gu family. Anhao only knew that although Zuo Hancheng had only been in the country for five years, Shengling Group¡¯s business spanned across too many areas in the country. People in the provinces and cities had to avoid him. Moreover, Gu Tianming¡¯s situation had not been stable in recent months. There were many obstacles in the dark and various possibilities of being exposed that threatened his position in the political world. If he offended Zuo Hancheng, he would regret it too much to imagine. After all, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wealth and connections in the country could easily make Gu Tianming unable to survive in the political arena. However, although the mayor wanted to maintain his reputation, he also needed to stabilize his position. So Gu Tianming was trying to build a relationship with Zuo Hancheng, right? Anhao lay on the sofa. She hated a sinister person like Gu Tianming to the core. She secretly bit her lip because of the background information about her mother, An Ping, that she had seen at his place. She did not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s reply, and not long after, Gu Tianming¡¯s voice could no longer be heard. They had probably gone far away. Anhao sat on the sofa and felt a chill run down her spine because of Gu Tianming. The heat in her body was not as unbearable as when she was sitting in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms just now. Initially, she did not want to cause any more trouble for Zuo Hancheng, but now that he knew about it, there was no need for her to hide her relationship with the Gu family anymore. Since Gu Tianming was so afraid of Zuo Hancheng, it seemed that it was not a bad thing to let Zuo Hancheng know about the dirty things in the Gu family.. Chapter 332 - Chapter 332: It’s So Hot, Help Me (4) Chapter 332: It¡¯s So Hot, Help Me (4) Translator: 549690339 When the door was opened again, Anhao had already fallen asleep on the sofa due to the accelerated metabolism of her body due to the drug. Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at the little woman whose cheeks were still red after she fell asleep. He bent down and picked her up by the waist. The moment he lifted her up, Anhao instinctively found a comfortable position in his arms. She instinctively rubbed her head against his chest and mumbled, ¡°¡±My mother has never killed anyone¡­My mother¡­He¡¯s a good person¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment and looked down at Anhao who was talking in her sleep. He stared at her quietly for a long time before he turned around and carried her to the big bed. When Anhao was placed on the bed, she turned over on the bed. Her long hair was messy and scattered beside her ears, and her fair face was covered in sweat. Zuo Hancheng bent down slightly and reached out to push away the sweaty hair on both sides of her face. At the same time, he covered her with the blanket. ¡°Who helped Mayor Gu drug the wine? Stand out! Let me see who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing in my territory?¡± Wenner was fuming downstairs when he suddenly received a call from Zuo Hancheng. He glanced coldly at the waiters who were standing in a row and walked out with the phone in his hand.¡±Mister Zuo? How is Miss Gu? Are you alright?¡± ¡°She¡¯s asleep.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. His tone was cold and gloomy, and Wenner could not help but frown.¡±l¡¯m very sorry about what happened today. I¡¯ll definitely come to Miss Gu¡¯s place to apologize in person another day.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. This matter is not your fault.¡±Zuo Hancheng said softly,¡± After all, you¡¯re running a nightclub. Some things are inevitable. I only have one request.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°What request? Tell me.¡± ¡°Everyone who witnessed Anhao and Gu Tianming together today can¡¯t stay.¡± ¡°That¡¯s easy. I already had this plan. I¡¯ll arrange for these people to be fired in the next two days. As for Mayor Gu¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll handle Gu Tianming¡¯s matter properly. After all, it crosses the boundaries of the political world. I can¡¯t be too ruthless in an instant. However, his good days are coming to an end. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Hearing the determination hidden in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm words, Wenner naturally knew what was going on and did not say anything else. Fortunately, Gu An had almost gotten into trouble in her own territory. Wenner indeed felt very sorry. After all, she had just opened her business and had not trained and warned her subordinates in time, which led to today¡¯s outcome. ¡°Okay, if there¡¯s anything you need me to do, feel free to look for me. Regarding Miss Gu¡¯s matter, I¡¯ll be responsible for it in the form of an apology.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for a request. Go and investigate someone.¡± Investigating people? Wenner felt that something was amiss and could not help but raise his eyebrows.¡±lnvestigate who?¡± ¡°Anhao¡¯s mother, Anping.¡± Wenner hesitated for a moment. After a moment, he said softly,¡±¡±Alright.¡± After hanging up the phone, Wenner couldn¡¯t help but glance back at the people standing in a row behind him and snorted. These few people had met their lucky stars today. Each of them had almost ruined their future prospects and might even lose their footing in A City. In the end, Zuo Hancheng had let them off today and only dismissed them. It seemed that he was only targeting Gu Tianming. These small characters did not catch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attention. He suddenly recalled the tragic end of a financial tycoon who had offended Zuo Hancheng many years ago in the United States. He seemed to have already imagined how dark Gu Tianming¡¯s future would be. Coincidentally, not long after hanging up the phone, Wenner turned around and saw Gu Tianming walking out of the elevator. He saw that Gu Tianming had a lot on his mind and looked anxious. At this moment, a bodyguard at the door came over and respectfully opened the way for Gu Tianming. Wenner raised his eyebrows, whistled, and walked over with a smile. ¡°Mayor Gu, take care. Don¡¯t worry too much about the city. You must take care of your health and eat well.¡± After all, if he didn¡¯t eat more good food quickly, he might not be able to eat anymore in the future. Wenner smiled like a blue-eyed old fox. Gu Tianming was already preoccupied with something. When he heard Wenner¡¯s words, he didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant, but he could more or less hear that something was not right. He only turned around to look at Wenner before he walked out expressionlessly under the escort of his bodyguards and got into the black high-class business car. When Anhao woke up, the sky was already bright. She turned over and saw that the spot beside the bed was empty. It did not have Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warmth. He had not come to sleep the entire night. She quickly sat up. After a night of sleep, the effects of the drug had worn off. Although she still felt sore and tired, at least there were no other problems. Anhao turned around and got off the bed. She walked quickly from the bedroom to the guest room of the suite. When she walked out, she saw Zuo Hancheng who seemed to have just returned from outside. He was holding a breakfast box and soy milk in his hands. Seeing that she was awake, he walked over and placed the things in his hands on the coffee table.¡±Go wash up, then eat breakfast.¡¯ Anhao looked at him.¡± You went out to buy breakfast for me.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer.¡± Don¡¯t dawdle,¡± he said.¡± Come and eat while it¡¯s hot after you¡¯re done packing.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Oh.¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t intend to bring up yesterday¡¯s matter, Anhao was naturally even more unwilling to bring it up again, lest the flames of war that had already been suppressed were ignited again. She turned around and went into the bathroom to take a shower. After all, she seemed to have sweated a lot after falling asleep last night. When she woke up, she felt that the bed under her was wet. The drug in the wine was indeed too torturous. After she was done cleaning, she walked out while wiping her wet hair. She saw that Zuo Hancheng had already opened the lunch box for her and even prepared the chopsticks. Seeing that there were sparkling dumplings in the lunch box, Anhao suddenly heard her stomach growling. She quickly threw down the towel and walked over quickly. She sat on the coffee table, picked up the chopsticks, and lowered her head to sniff.¡±lt smells so good. Where did you buy the dumplings?¡± As she spoke, she ate one and looked up in surprise.¡±lt actually tastes like fresh prawns. It¡¯s so delicious!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao, who was easily bribed by a box of dumplings, regardless of what had happened yesterday or in the past. His lips curled up slightly.¡±lf you like it, eat more. Only when you¡¯re full will you have the strength to fight.¡± Anhao immediately swallowed the dumpling in her mouth and looked at him in confusion.¡±¡±What combat power?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were going back to the Gu family a few days ago?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked calmly. It¡¯s better to choose another day than to choose another day. I¡¯ll go with you today..¡± Chapter 333 - Chapter 333: It’s So Hot, Help Me (5) Chapter 333: It¡¯s So Hot, Help Me (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was so shocked that she almost dropped her chopsticks on the coffee table. After a moment of shock, she picked up the cup at the side and took a big gulp of soy milk before saying, ¡°Will you accompany me back to the Gu family?¡± ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently. ¡®¡±¡®1 should have accompanied you when we first got married, but I¡¯ve been dragging it out until now. Since your relationship with the Gu family is going to be completely severed sooner or later, then let¡¯s just cut it off and stop pestering each other.¡± Anhao had just eaten another dumpling. She swallowed the dumpling in her mouth and said, ¡®¡±¡®The reason why we were entangled in the past was because Gu Tianming and I had a father-daughter relationship. No matter how much I wanted to leave the Gu family, I couldn¡¯t think so much before I graduated from high school, but¡­¡¯ She paused for a moment and then said,¡±There¡¯s indeed no need to pester me anymore because Gu Tianming and I are not father and daughter at all. I¡¯m not his daughter.¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng was not surprised when he heard Anhao¡¯s calm words. He only fixed his gaze on her for a moment and said,¡±¡±lf you had let the entire Gu family know about our marriage earlier, there wouldn¡¯t have been so much trouble. I¡¯ve already told you the benefits of being Mrs. Zuo, but you didn¡¯t know how to make use of it. Is it so difficult for you to make our marriage public?¡± Anhao blinked a few times.¡± It¡¯s not difficult. I¡¯m just afraid that I¡¯ll bring you trouble because I¡¯m not yet twenty years old. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t dare to admit it openly.¡± I really feel bad for pushing you to the cusp of public opinion because of me!¡± As she spoke, she lowered her head and whispered, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m just thinking about you. You really don¡¯t know how to appreciate a good person.¡± ¡°You, a clay Bodhisattva, can¡¯t even protect yourself. Why would you consider me?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± I didn¡¯t marry a teenage girl. I won¡¯t be threatened by the law. With Shengling¡¯s public relations, these small public opinions won¡¯t affect me.¡¯ Anhao didn¡¯t show any remorse after hearing this. She muttered softly,¡±¡±l¡¯m not as rich and powerful as you. I just don¡¯t want you to be affected. If I had known that you were so powerful, I would have run to the loudspeaker and shouted that I was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife, and you must all come and worship me!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly.¡±¡±Go and clean yourself up after you¡¯re full. Someone will send clothes over later. Remember to dress up.¡± ¡°Why are you dressing up? I¡¯m not going back to the beauty pageant.¡± Anhao said vaguely with a dumpling in her mouth. ¡°I want to bring the strong and brave Gu Anhao back to win a battle, not drag a poor Cinderella back to demand an explanation. Which one do you choose?¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes.¡± Nonsense. Of course I choose the first option. As she spoke, she quickly ate the dumplings that were still warm. After finishing all the dumplings in the lunch box, she drank up the soy milk in the cup. After eating her fill, she sat on the sofa and scratched her hair. She turned around and said in a hurry in the room,¡±What should I do? When I came here yesterday, I only had the nondescript clothes that Gu Tianming gave me. Not only did I not prepare any clothes, I didn¡¯t even prepare anything else.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her, who was wearing a bathrobe and slippers, sitting behind the sofa like an ant in a hot pot. He raised his hand to his forehead and said after a while,¡±¡±Sit on the sofa obediently and don¡¯t move.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng walking into the bathroom. She did not know what he was going to do, so she instinctively said,¡± Oh,¡± and returned to the sofa. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to take out the hairdryer. When she looked at him in surprise, he walked over to the back of the sofa she was sitting on and said, Running around the room with your wet hair hair, Gu Anhao, your lifestyle is so rough that you don¡¯t look like a woman.¡±¡® Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Then if I tell you that I haven¡¯t even used perfume or worn proper high heels, would you think that I¡¯m a man?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. When she turned around to talk to him, he straightened her head with one hand. The hot air from the hairdryer blew directly on her head. Anhao sat on the sofa obediently and let Zuo Hancheng dry her hair. She felt his long and gentle fingers running through her hair. Although she was not very familiar with it, it was very comfortable because of the gentle movements. She was served by Zuo Hancheng and secretly grinned, enjoying the high-class service of Big Boss Zuo. After his hair was dried, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her grinning face.¡±¡±What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Anhao quickly restrained her expression, but in the end, she could not help but lean her head on his palm and said with a smile, ¡°¡±Mr. President personally helped me dry my hair. I¡¯m so happy that I¡¯m about to go to heaven with such high-class treatment.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted, but his eyes were filled with warmth. He patted her head and said, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s because Wenner¡¯s new nightclub suite hasn¡¯t been installed with a heater yet. Seeing you walking around with wet hair, you¡¯ll catch a cold if you don¡¯t dry it.¡± ¡°Aiya aiya, you love me, you dote on me, don¡¯t explain yourself. There¡¯s nothing embarrassing about spoiling your wife, I won¡¯t laugh at you Anhao said as she rubbed her face against his hand, her eyes curved into crescents.¡±Zuo Hancheng, since my life is so rough and I¡¯m always in trouble, why are you still so nice to me?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows, as if this was the first time he was seriously considering this question. Seeing that he was actually thinking about it, Anhao was instantly displeased. He was actually thinking about this problem! ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you really think I¡¯m a troublemaker, so you regret being so good to me?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already married her. Is it too late to regret?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fingers ran through her hair again.¡±¡±Back then, water had indeed entered my brain. It was the first time in my life that I made such an impulsive decision without considering the consequences. In the end, I brought myself a troublemaker.¡± Anhao instantly unhappily puffed up her face.¡±How can I be so troublesome¡­¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was looking at her with a meaningful expression and not saying anything, Anhao could not help but mutter,¡±¡±Actually, I have a lot of good points too. You have to dig them out. You can¡¯t be deceived by my appearance so easily. I think I still have the potential to transform from a tomboy to a goddess. You have to be patient!¡± ¡°Alright, enough with the bullsh * t. I was inexplicably poisoned by you. Is this answer okay? Can you satisfy your little vanity?¡±Zuo Hancheng chided her with a smile. His hand, which had been gently stroking her hair, suddenly patted her head without any gentleness. ¡°That¡¯s more like it!¡± Anhao raised her hand and held her head that was hurting from the slap. She tilted her head and said,¡±¡±Then what poison did I give you? Is it Poppy?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said without giving her any face, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s arsenical. ¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly darkened.. Chapter 334 - Chapter 334: Favorite (1) Chapter 334: Favorite (1) Translator: 549690339 So what if it¡¯s, but at least it could kill. This meant that Zuo Hancheng had unintentionally revealed that she was very important to him. Look, she was getting better at putting gold on her own face. However, she was still worried about what she should wear to return to the Gu family. In the end, less than an hour later, someone knocked on the door. It was Lin Qing and the supervisor of the security room of the Gilt Scenic Garden who brought her things together. At the same time, someone also brought her clothes. Including the set of jewelry that she had carefully treasured. Anhao touched the set of jewelry and said,¡± There¡¯s no need to wear these. These things are too eye-catching. I¡¯m afraid that they will blind Gu Shishi.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± It¡¯s up to you. But I didn¡¯t give you these to hide in the closet.¡± Anhao awkwardly put on her earrings and said,¡¯¡±¡® I¡¯m so poor that I¡¯m scared of being robbed.¡± Although she said that, she still put on the ring obediently. As for the necklace and bracelet, she hesitated for a moment before glancing at the new clothes that Zuo Hancheng had asked someone to send over for her. She whispered, ¡°After wearing all of them, will there be a sense of showing off your wealth?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Even if you want to go back and show off your wealth, I¡¯ll accompany you to the end.¡± Anhao burst out laughing.¡± Then I don¡¯t think so. I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll lower your Godhood. If I let you, the great Zuo Hancheng, accompany me to show off your wealth, what¡¯s the difference between that and dragging you out on the street with gold chains all over your body? It¡¯s fine if I¡¯m showing off myself, but if I drag you down with me, I¡¯ll despise myself.¡± As she spoke, she carefully put away her jewelry. She only wore earrings and a ring. She looked low-key and was quite compatible with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s usual style of doing things. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s understanding of her was beyond her imagination. He usually did not seem to care much about the clothes of his wife, who had lived a rough life. Even when she was running around in her pajamas at home, he did not say anything. However, today was a little like the first time he dragged her to buy clothes. He almost wanted to wash away all the rough traces of life from her head to toe and dress her up like a princess who was doted on to the utmost. Anhao changed into the white dress and the long light blue coat. Her entire aura was elevated to N levels. She stood in front of the mirror without saying anything, looking more like a proper socialite than Gu Shishi. Zuo Hancheng was not only going to accompany her back to the Gu family to beat up her husband, he was obviously going to bring her back to slap her face. Even Lin Qing was shocked when he saw Anhao¡¯s low-key yet high-profile outfit. President Zuo had always been a person who separated public and private matters and was very strict outside. However, he had specially called her from the company to Liujing Garden to get these things and buy clothes for Gu Anhao. It was obvious how much President Zuo valued Gu Anhao. She suddenly thought of Rong Xue, who had just returned to A City after filming in Paris a few days ago. She then looked at Gu Anhao, who was standing in front of Zuo Hancheng, and thought about what Mobai had said before. Perhaps, the rumors outside were not so credible. No matter how sure everyone was that the woman Zuo Hancheng loved the most was Miss Rong, what they heard and what they saw were always so different. Anhao was looking at Zuo Hancheng, who was standing in front of her. He casually adjusted her collar and said, ¡°¡±Have you thought about what to do after returning to the Gu family?¡± ¡°No, but with you around, I don¡¯t have to think about anything in advance. Anyway, you can help me settle everything.¡±Anhao chuckled. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows when he heard her flattering tone.¡±¡±After we return, we need at least one result.¡± Anhao understood what he meant by this result. Although she didn¡¯t tell him what she was hiding, she did intend to take everything she had when she returned to the Gu family and never step into the Gu family again. From then on, she would completely cut off all ties with the Gu family. Since she wasn¡¯t Gu Tianming¡¯s daughter, she didn¡¯t want to take the surname Gu anymore. Seeing that she was clearly ready, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curved into a gratified smile. He raised his hand and gently stroked her head.¡±Whether it¡¯s the Gu family or where, from now on, remember not to lower your head to anyone.¡± Anhao nodded. Her smile was like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming. No, of course not. She had Zuo Hancheng. From now on, she would never have to lower her head to anyone. The Gu family¡¯s main residence was located in a luxurious residential area in the eastern district of City A. Because the owner, Gu Tianming, was a political figure, it was some distance away from the ordinary residential area. This place was similar to the military compound back then. However, the military compound was a military compound, while the Gu Residence was much more luxurious. After all, Gu Tianming had been corrupt and bribribed for many years. Money could not be displayed in the open, and he could not drive too good a car or wear too high-end branded goods. However, at least the decoration of the house was getting more and more luxurious. At this moment, no one in the Gu family could predict that a storm was about to arrive. Gu Tianming paced back and forth in front of the sofa. His eyes were cold and anxious, and his frown made Mrs. Gu throw a few glances at Gu Shishi, who was sitting on the sofa opposite her. Gu Shishi raised her eyes and looked at Gu Tianming in bafflement.¡±Dad, you¡¯ve been pacing back and forth in frustration since you came back in the morning. You don¡¯t even listen to what Mom and I say. What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± At the same time, Mrs. Gu said, ¡°Did something happen in Beijing¡¯s preparation for the next year¡¯s election? Or was there a problem with Department Head Zhao? Didn¡¯t you invite Minister Zhao to a banquet yesterday? After preparing for so long, it wasn¡¯t easy for Minister Zhao to come to City A. Why did you come back so early this morning? Moreover, you¡¯ve been¡­¡± ¡°Alright, both of you shut up. I want to ask you something. ¡°Gu Tianming finally stopped in his tracks, but he looked at the mother and daughter with an ugly expression. ¡°Do you know about Gu Anhao¡¯s marriage?¡± Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi looked as if they were choked. They looked at each other in silence but chose not to speak. Gu Tianming could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with their gazes. He slammed the table angrily. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you two tell me earlier? Gu Anhao was actually married to Zuo Hancheng! Why didn¡¯t you tell me about such an important matter? Are you trying to kill me?!¡± ¡°Dad, what¡¯s going on? It has nothing to do with us who Gu Anhao marries. Although Zuo Hancheng seems to be very powerful, he doesn¡¯t deserve you to say such a thing.¡± Gu Shishi saw the anger in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes and retorted softly. However, she felt that something was wrong because Gu Tianming had been feeling uneasy since he came back, so her voice was much softer.. Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: The Favorite (2) Chapter 335: The Favorite (2) Translator: 549690339 Gu Tianming pointed at her face angrily.¡±When did this happen? How long have you been hiding it from me?¡± Mrs. Gu finally saw the seriousness of the matter from Gu Tianming¡¯s attitude. She stood up.¡± Gu Anhao married Zuo Hancheng about four or five months ago. Shishi and I didn¡¯t believe it at the time, and we only found out after a long time. We weren¡¯t sure, so we didn¡¯t tell you¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean by not sure? Why would she marry someone like Zuo Hancheng? How did she know Zuo Hancheng? How much do you two know?¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s brows were deeply furrowed, and he was clearly anxious and uneasy. Mrs. Gu frowned.¡± Actually, I¡¯ve always thought that it was strange. Why would someone like Zuo Hancheng keep Gu Anhao by his side? Not only is Gu Anhao¡¯s age unsuitable for marriage, but her status is also too far away. I didn¡¯t expect that he would really¡­¡± ¡± Father, I¡¯ve always suspected that Gu Anhao was lying to us. Please don¡¯t believe what she said. It¡¯s impossible for her to get married to Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Gu Tianming looked at Gu Shishi with displeasure.¡±Zuo Hancheng told me himself, how can it be fake? Who was he? Could it be that a person like him could play house with Gu Anhao? Since he had personally verified it, it could not be fake!¡± Gu Shishi choked and could not speak for a moment. She bit her lip and rolled her eyes unhappily.¡±l still don¡¯t believe it.¡¯ Gu Tianming glanced at her and frowned at Mrs. Gu.¡±What¡¯s going on? Gu Anhao married Zuo Hancheng?¡± Mrs. Gu shook her head.¡± I¡¯m not sure either. I only heard some rumors a few months ago, but I didn¡¯t tell you because I wasn¡¯t sure. However, judging from your attitude now, did Zuo Hancheng put some pressure on the political F?¡± ¡°Not vet. Gu Tianminz¡¯s expression was ugly and zloomv.¡± ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Gu Tianming was stunned, but he didn¡¯t say what happened yesterday. He only said with an extremely ugly expression,¡± In recent months, I¡¯ve felt that there have been various incidents that have been targeting me, and they are very detrimental to my voting process. I suspect that this has something to do with Zuo Hancheng. He has the ability to arrange so many obstacles for me without making a sound. Now that he has finally appeared, I¡¯m afraid that the reason is because of Gu Anhao.¡¯ Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Tianming silently. She also felt that something was wrong in the past few months. She had been careful not to offend Zuo Hancheng, but with Gu Anhao in the middle, it was inevitable that a rift would appear between the Gu family and Zuo Hancheng. Now, it was the critical moment of the mid-year voting. There was still half a year before it could decide whether Gu Tianming¡¯s future path would be to a higher position in Beijing, or whether he would continue to stay in A City as the mayor, or if he would be replaced by someone else and temporarily demoted. All of these were possible. If they offended Zuo Hancheng, who was the leader of the country¡¯s financial power, at this juncture, not to mention how Zuo Hancheng would take revenge on them for Anhao, Zuo Hancheng only needed to say a few words before the mid-year voting to make many people who were going to vote for Gu Tianming give up on voting for him and vote for his competitor to torture the Gu family. This concerned Gu Tianming¡¯s future and the Gu family¡¯s future. Gu Tianming had been in Beijing for the past few months and had already worked hard to arrange everything. However, he never expected that there would be a fire in his backyard and that such a big thing would happen to his family in City A! Recalling the look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes when he walked into the private room last night, Gu Tianming frowned even more deeply. If it were not for Minister Zhao and a few other officials from Beijing, Zuo Hancheng would not have been so polite to him. He still remembered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold attitude when he tried to talk to him alone in the room upstairs last night. He even told him clearly that he would not let this matter go so easily. The young man who looked cold and collected was currently a huge threat to him. ¡°Sigh.¡± Gu Tianming suddenly sighed heavily. He turned around and was about to go to the back to calm himself down and think of a way. However, just as he turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of a car approaching from outside. Then, a servant walked in from outside. ¡°Madam, Second Miss has returned¡­¡± Hearing the servant¡¯s words, Gu Tianming stopped in his tracks and turned around abruptly. Mrs. Gu frowned and looked at the servant¡¯s expression. Usually, no one in the family allowed them to address Gu Anhao as Second MISS. ?rney would only call ner mat occasionally wnen tnere were outsiders present. However, every time they called her that, Gu Shishi would not let it go. But now that the servant had suddenly addressed Gu Anhao in such a way, Mrs. Gu and Gu Tianming immediately looked at each other. Their instincts told them that something was wrong. Gu Shishi suddenly stood up and said,¡±Who are you calling Second Miss? Who told you that Gu Anhao is the daughter of the Gu family? She was just a shameless dog, a woman, an illegitimate daughter, who could not be seen. How could she be worthy of being the second daughter of the Gu family? Do you not want to work here anymore? If you don¡¯t want to do it, get lost!¡± ¡°Shishi!¡± Mrs. Gu turned around.¡± Don¡¯t say anything first. Just wait and see.¡±¡® ¡°I can¡¯t stay still!¡± Gu Shishi was furious. How dare you address Gu Anhao as Second Miss in front of me? Are you looking down on me?¡± When Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked out of the door, they heard Gu Shishi¡¯s roar from inside. She calmly pushed open the unlocked door and walked in. This was the first time Anhao had visited Gu¡¯s house after half a year. The last time she had visited Gu¡¯s house was when she was in her second year of high school. She had no choice but to come back for half a month because she could not live outside for the time being. Of course, she still remembered how dark that half a month was. However, this time, as soon as she entered the door, she saw an angry Gu Shishi and a thoughtful Mrs. Gu, including Gu Tianming, who was standing behind the sofa with a frown. In the next moment, their expressions changed drastically. Of course, it was not because of her, but because of Zuo Hancheng, who was slowly walking in behind her. ¡°Mister Zuo?¡± Gu Tianming hesitated for a moment before walking over from behind the sofa. He went forward to shake hands and greet her. Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes were fixed on Anhao¡¯s clothes and the two earrings on her ears, which looked low-key but were dazzling under the light. The pet of the heart! She was actually wearing the pet of her heart! Gu Shishi nearly vomited blood. Her eyes scanned her from top to bottom in disbelief. In the end, Gu Shishi¡¯s face turned green with anger because Gu Tianming had already walked up to greet her. In addition, Mrs. Gu kept winking at her to stop her from talking nonsense. Gu Shishi was so angry that she sat on the sofa and slammed her hands into the sofa.. Chapter 336 - Chapter 336: The Favorite (3) Chapter 336: The Favorite (3) Translator: 549690339 Of course, Anhao didn¡¯t know that her white and blue outfit, which looked simple and casual, was actually a new limited edition design by a famous Italian women¡¯s clothing brand at the beginning of the year. After it was shown at Fashion Week a week ago, many people wanted to buy it, but they had no way to do so. But now, Gu Anhao was wearing the same clothes. Anhao didn¡¯t know what was good and thought that Lin Qing had prepared a new set of clothes for her on the way here. Therefore, when she saw Gu Shishi¡¯s face that had turned green from anger, she could not help but raise her eyebrows slightly and curl her lips coldly in Gu Shishi¡¯s direction. Gu Shishi dug her fingers into the sofa and tried to hold it in. She almost jumped up and scolded Gu Anhao. However, every time she flared up, Mrs. Gu would give her a look, meaning to ask her to hold it in. Gu Shishi had never suffered such a grievance before. In the past, Gu Anhao was always the one who was bullied in the Gu family. Now, she had to swallow her grievances here! ¡°Mr. Zuo actually came to the Gu family. Why didn¡¯t you tell me before you came? I could have specially arranged for it.¡±Gu Tianming walked forward, but when he saw that Zuo Hancheng did not reach out his hand, he put down his hand. He laughed awkwardly and turned to look at Gu Anhao, who had a calm expression on her face. ¡± Anhao, why didn¡¯t you tell your family about your marriage with Mr. Zuo? Now that you¡¯re going back to your mother¡¯s house with Zuo Hancheng, you didn¡¯t tell me in advance. You¡¯re really insensible¡­¡± Gu Tianming had a smile on his face and was extremely enthusiastic. Without waiting for Anhao¡¯s reply, he turned around and continued to smile at Zuo Hancheng, who had a meaningful smile on his face.¡¯¡±¡®Quick, come in and sit. ¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Quickly sit down and treat it as your own home. Don¡¯t be an outsider.¡±Mrs. Gu also spoke very vigilantly. At the same time, she asked the servants to prepare tea and other things. ¡°Mayor Gu, please accept my hospitality. There¡¯s no need to be polite. I¡¯m accompanying Anhao home to get some things and will leave soon.¡±Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had no intention of giving them face and going over to sit. He merely curled his lips slightly and glanced at Gu Anhao, who had remained silent after entering the room.¡±Where is your room? I¡¯ll go with you.¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Mrs. Gu¡¯s face stiffened slightly. Gu Tianming frowned secretly and turned to look at Gu Anhao. Gu Anhao turned her eyes away. Her calm eyes were filled with indifference. She saw the trace of anxiety hidden under the calm surface in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes. She calmly said to Zuo Hancheng, who was beside her,¡±¡±ln the attic at the end of the third floor.¡¯ Atter saymg tnat, Annao stopped 100kmg at Gu ¡®I¡¯lanmmg and went upstairs. ¡°Gu Anhao, what do you mean?¡±Gu Shishi couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. She stood up abruptly and glared at Gu Anhao¡¯s back as she scolded,¡±¡±What kind of place do you think our Gu family is? Do you think we can let you come and go as you please? What do you have in our house? Why would you need to come back and take it? Let me tell you, everything you have was given to you by the Gu family, including the clothes you used to wear. Which one of them doesn¡¯t belong to the Gu family? You actually came back to collect your luggage?¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and glanced back at Gu Shishi.¡±¡±You mean those old clothes that you don¡¯t like to wear? I¡¯m sorry, I threw those rags under the cabinet and never intended to wear them.¡± ¡°Then what else do you have in the Gu family?¡± Gu Shishi asked coldly. What do you want? We don¡¯t have anything of yours in the Gu family!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve forgotten how you snuck into my room and took a photo of my mother¡¯s death and posted it online?¡± Anhao snorted. I don¡¯t have anything from the Gu family in my room. I only have a few belongings and photos that my mother left for me. I¡¯m coming back to take them now. What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± As she spoke, Anhao went straight upstairs, ignoring Gu Shishi¡¯s angry expression. Gu Tianming also turned to look at Anhao at the same time. Anhao felt Gu Tianming¡¯s gaze, but she didn¡¯t turn back and quickly went upstairs. Gu Tianming hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said to Zuo Hancheng, who hadn¡¯t done much at the beginning,¡±¡±Mister Zuo, about Anhao¡­¡± ¡°Mayor Gu, sorry to bother you.¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored his words and said politely in a cold voice. Then, he walked up the stairs with steady steps. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had accompanied Gu Anhao upstairs, Gu Shishi turned to look at Mrs. Gu anxiously and whispered,¡±¡±Mom, what should we do¡­ ¡± Hearing Gu Shishi¡¯s voice, Gu Tianming could not help but turn to look at her.¡±¡±What do you mean? She hasn¡¯t been back for more than half a year. Did you put something in Gu Anhao¡¯s room again?¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes froze. After a long while, she bit her lip and whispered,¡±¡±l didn¡¯t put anything¡­ It¡¯s just those pranks from when I was young¡­¡± If it was just a simple prank, Gu Shishi would not have such a panicked attitude. Gu Tianming pondered for a moment before quickly turning around and walking up. Gu Shishi looked at Gu Tianming¡¯s back and anxiously turned to Mrs. Gu.¡¯¡±¡®Mom¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng is planning to interfere in Anhao¡¯s matter. Don¡¯t look at how calm he is as if he won¡¯t do anything to us. People like him who hide their abilities are the most dangerous! Your father can¡¯t even protect himself now. Don¡¯t talk so much and try not to cause trouble.¡±Mrs. Gu frowned and reminded mm sortiY. Gu Shishi stomped her feet in anger.¡±¡±Why would Gu Anhao marry a man like Zuo Hancheng? He actually stood up for her! Why? Why?!¡± Upstairs, it was even more exciting. Anhao had already reached the attic at the end of the third floor. It was just a nice adjective to describe it as attic. In fact, it was a small room less than ten meters square, smaller than the servant¡¯s room. Next to this attic was the place where the lightning rod was installed on the roof. It was very dangerous, and it was only a temporary small house on the roof. Occasionally, it would leak rain. No one lived here for a long time, and no one came in to clean. When she opened the door, she was greeted by a musty smell. Anhao was already used to the environment in this house. After opening the door, she only paused at the door for a few seconds before walking in. There was only a 30-square-centimeter window in the corner of the room. It was not airtight. Not only did the room smell moldy, but it was also very stuffy. The air circulation was very bad. Anhao walked into the room in the dark. Zuo Hancheng saw the environment inside and saw that Anhao could move freely in the dark room. He turned to look at the door and turned on the light switch on the wall. The room suddenly lit up with a dim yellow light, but Anhao suddenly paused and turned her eyes to the row of transparent wine bottles on the table beside her bed. Instantly, she felt a chill run straight into her bones, so cold that her entire body froze.. Chapter 337 - Chapter 337: The Favorite (4) Chapter 337: The Favorite (4) Translator: 549690339 Instantly, she felt a chill run straight into her bones, so cold that her entire body froze. When Zuo Hancheng saw the things on the table, he quickly walked in and pulled Anhao, who was so stiff that she could not move, into his arms. He pressed her head against his chest and patted her back gently to comfort her. He said softly,¡±¡±Stop looking.¡± Inside those transparent wine bottles were snakes that had been caught from somewhere. Although the snakes were already dead, they were still soaked in the wine bottles. It was popular among the older generation to soak snakes in wine. The longer the wine was soaked, the more nourishing it would be. It was also extremely valuable. However, this kind of snake wine was a very scary thing. Putting a living snake into a bottle filled with white wine and soaking it like this was extremely terrifying in terms of visual effects. There were more than ten bottles of this wine on the table. Inside were snakes that could be covered. At a glance, those who were timid would be scared out of their wits. Anhao was quite brave, but snakes were not something she could ignore just because she said so. She saw so many dead snakes on the table beside her bed, and even her mother¡¯s photo was pressed under those wine bottles! Gu Tianming walked in quickly and was shocked when he saw the wine bottles. However, he endured the disgust and horror of the dozens of dead snakes soaking in the wine in front of him. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was comforting Anhao in his arms, he quickly walked over and whispered, The servants at home must have been making wine. Anhao often doesn¡¯t come back to stay, so they¡¯re afraid that this kind of thing will scare others, so they kept it in her room for the time being. They didn¡¯t mean to scare her¡­¡± ¡°Was it unintentional for the servant to hide Anhao¡¯s mother¡¯s photo under those things?¡±There was no warmth in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. Gu Mingtian¡¯s expression froze, and he quickly explained, ¡®¡±¡®This matter¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. ..¡± Mr. Zuo, those are just dead snakes. They won¡¯t do anything to Anhao¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Anhao suddenly raised her head from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and glared at Gu Tianming with slightly bloodshot eyes.¡±¡±Bring me my mother¡¯s photo!¡± Gu Tianming frowned. He was about to give her a warning glare, but when he caught Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze in the next moment, he turned his head away. He had no choice but to walk to the bedside and move the scary and disgusting wine bottles away. He picked up An Ping¡¯s photo. However, the moment he picked it up, Gu Tianming¡¯s expression froze again. He held the photo and did not turn around. Anhao sensed that something was wrong with him and exchanged glances with Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng held her hand and walked over. At first glance, he saw the photo that Gu Tianming was holding in his hand. There was a yellow and red talisman on the photo. Anhao immediately went forward and snatched the photo. She picked up the talisman on the photo and flipped it over to see the words ¡°Underground Evil Spirits Will Never Reincarnate¡± written on the back. Her hands couldn¡¯t help but tremble. She held the talisman tightly in her palm and turned to look at Gu Tianming at the same time.¡±Your good daughter is not even letting a person who has been dead for many years off!¡± ¡°Anhao, I can explain this. Shishi might not have done it. Calm down, let¡¯s go downstairs and talk.¡±Gu Tianming¡¯s expression was hidden in the darkness. He turned around and was about to leave. Anhao suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the bed to lift the blanket. As expected, her bed had been tampered with. When she lifted the blanket, the eight treasures porridge that had been spilled on the bed had already rotted and dried up. Because it was winter, the room was very cold, so there were no worms. However, the traces of vomit all over the bed still made her clench her fists. She sneered at the same time, threw the blanket aside, turned around, walked to the cabinet, and opened it. There were only a few pieces of clothing in her closet. There was only an old school uniform and a few pieces of clothes that she had worn when she was still in junior high school a few years ago. They were much smaller now. There was nothing in the cabinet, but her eyes suddenly fell on the desk next to her. Several books on the table had been torn apart, including the An Tong story and the One Thousand and One Nights story book that An Ping used to hug her and tell her when she was young. Those two books had been carefully wrapped up and placed in the drawer because they were too old, but now they had been torn into pieces. A piece was scattered in the drawer, and half of them were placed in the dustbin under the table. There were also all kinds of textbooks left behind by her mother, including the thick book she had occasionally seen the Ice Blue Dried Flower. They were all placed under the table, soaked in water, and the pages were glued together. This bedroom that belonged to her in the Gu family had become more and more messy in the half a year that she had not been back. Gu Shishi¡¯s methods had even gone overboard. Anhao stood by the table in a daze and looked at the mess without saying a word. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze turned to Gu Tianming, who had an awkward expression on his face. Mayor Gu, let¡¯s talk outside.¡± Gu Tianming suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing the coldness in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, he looked at Anhao.¡±She¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s been able to persevere in the Gu family for so many years. I believe that she¡¯ll be able to handle her emotions well. ¡±Mayor Gu, let¡¯s settle this score alone,¡± said Zuo Hancheng coldly.¡± ¡± Mr. Zuo, Anhao has been safe and sound in the Gu family for so many years. What you saw just now was just a coincidence. Maybe Shishi just borrowed her room. There¡¯s absolutely nothing else. I can explain what happened yesterday. Mr. Zuo, there¡¯s really nothing between us¡­¡± However, before Gu Tianming could finish speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already walked out expressionlessly, not giving him a chance to explain or make peace. Gu Tianming instantly froze on the spot. He hesitated for a moment before suddenly turning to look at Anhao¡¯s motionless back. He cursed fiercely, ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re ruthless! Just because you have Zuo Hancheng as your backer, you actually dare to directly point the spearhead at the Gu family¡­¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die so early, get out!¡±Anhao didn¡¯t even turn her head. Her voice sounded calm yet frosty. Gu Tianming pointed at her and wanted to scold her a few more times, but he could not do anything to her because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s existence. He gritted his teeth and suddenly walked out the door. Gu Tianming left, but Anhao was still standing in front of the table, looking at the last things she had left in the Gu family. These were all memories of An Ping, everything she had when she was young. All these years, no matter how much Gu Shishi had gone overboard, she had never gone so far as to do such a thing. This room was not the bedroom that Anhao had lived in for five years, but a living hell that belonged to her. He could finally leave this place completely. However, she was unable to keep all of her mother¡¯s belongings.. Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: Favorite (5) Chapter 338: Favorite (5) Translator: 549690339 In the end, when Anhao walked out with her mother¡¯s photo and some other things, she saw Zuo Hancheng and Gu Tianming at the end of the corridor. She walked over and saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the window with his back facing them. Gu Tianming was standing at the side with an ugly expression on his face, but he did not make a sound. Looking at Gu Tianming¡¯s expression, it was as if he had eaten a turtle again. She did not know what had happened. However, she knew what she was doing. Even though he was the mayor of A City, he was a mayor who was unpopular and had a shady background. There were too many things that could be used against him, so there were many things that he was afraid of. ¡°I¡¯m done packing.¡± Anhao walked over. Hearing Anhao¡¯s voice, Zuo Hancheng looked back at her and saw that she had indeed adjusted her mood and was in a good state. He looked at the thing in her hand and said softly,¡±¡±ls there anything else you need to take away?¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s indeed nothing here that belongs to me, including blood relations.¡±As Anhao spoke, she turned to look at Gu Tianming meaningfully. Gu Tianming¡¯s expression was a little unnatural.¡±Anhao, no matter what, the Gu family has raised you for five years. If it weren¡¯t for the Gu family, you wouldn¡¯t be in a place like A High School now. You would have long gone out to wander or become a¡­¡± ¡°Do you think I can¡¯t live without the Gu family?¡±Anhao looked at him with a half-smile.¡± Gu Tianming, I¡¯ve been in the Gu family for five years, but the tuition fees and living expenses I spent did not exceed 70,000 yuan in total. There¡¯s still a lot of balance in the fixed living expenses card you gave me. I¡¯ve brought the card with me. I¡¯ll give it to you in front of your wife and daughter later.¡± As she spoke, Anhao curled her lips coldly.¡±l¡¯ve earned quite a lot of money in the bar in the past few years. After all, I¡¯ve worked so hard to promote those wines, and I¡¯ve earned quite a lot of money. Other than my own expenses, I¡¯ve tried my best to save an extra 4,000 yuan every month, and I¡¯ve always treated that money as if it doesn¡¯t exist, because to me, that money doesn¡¯t belong to me.¡± ¡°Now¡­¡± She looked at Gu Tianming¡¯s gradually frosty eyes indifferently.¡±That sum of money has just reached 70,000 yuan, enough to pay for the tuition and living expenses for the next five years. A High School doesn¡¯t need much money. It¡¯s just a place that needs to use connections. This 70,000 yuan is also in that card. You can check the balance later.¡± She had been selling alcohol for the past two years, and she had really sold a lot of high-end alcohol. Other than the 20,000 yuan she had secretly saved up to buy the ring, she had saved up the tuition fees and living expenses that she owed the Gu family. This was her bottom line as a person. Of course, she would not give the Gu family a chance to bite on it! ¡°How can you be like this? The Gu family has raised you for so many years. Do they only want you to pay them back?¡±Gu Tianming felt a little embarrassed and could not help but blame her in a questioning tone. Anhao chuckled.¡¯¡±¡® Ever since Mrs. Gu bought a set of clothes that cost 20 yuan from a roadside stall at the night market and threw it at my face five years ago, I¡¯ve been tempted to earn money and throw it at your faces when I saw how merciful she was and how she wanted me to kneel down and kowtow to her in gratitude. Now, since Zuo Hancheng is here, I¡¯ll try my best to be more cultured. I won¡¯t use violence to solve the problem. I¡¯ll return the money. As for feelings, I¡¯m sorry. I haven¡¯t settled the score with you for all the pain that the Gu family put on me. Don¡¯t mention any hypocritical feelings to me, Mayor Gil.¡± ¡°Since you know that your aunt specially bought clothes for you back then, you don¡¯t have to care about how much it costs. At least our Gu family didn¡¯t mistreat you¡­ ¡°Heh.¡± Anhao sneered and interrupted him,¡±¡±That¡¯s because I didn¡¯t bring anything with me when I came to the Gu family. I was only wearing a junior high school uniform. Although I used to live here as an illegitimate daughter, Mrs. Gu was afraid that I would be too embarrassed, so she bought a piece of clothing from a roadside stall and threw it to me. If you want to save face, don¡¯t use this kind of words as emotional blackmail. The Gu family is hell, so don¡¯t put gold on your own face.¡± After she finished speaking, Anhao looked at Gu Tianming¡¯s unsightly expression, which was caused by her choking. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had been quietly waiting for her to perform. There was a hint of delight in her eyes.¡±l still need you to accompany me to such a foul place. Do you think that standing here and even breathing in the air is disgusting? Let¡¯s ¡°This, Mister Zuo¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not even look at Gu Tianming. He took the small luggage from Anhao¡¯s hands and pulled her down the stairs by her belt. ¡°Mister Zuo!¡± When Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked to the living room downstairs, Gu Tianming suddenly walked down quickly. After he came down, he glanced at the servants around him, signaling them to leave first. After the servants had left, Gu Tianming glanced at Mrs. Gu and Gu Shishi before saying, ¡°I know you¡¯re going against Zheng F for Anhao¡¯s sake. Shengling Group is indeed an unshakable existence in City A. If you make any moves, it¡¯s enough to shake the entire coastal city! However, Zuo Hancheng, you have to know that officials and businessmen are inseparable. If you have made up your mind not to work for the government and insist on playing this game with the City Hall, then I advise you not to take this risk for an unknown little girl.. Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her. When Anhao stopped in her tracks, he held her hand and squeezed it gently to comfort her. He meant that she did not have to think about what Gu Tianming said. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng knew what he was doing, but she did not know what he had said to Gu Tianming just now to force him into a corner and make him fall out with him. ¡® That¡¯s right. If you get involved with an unlucky person like Gu Anhao, you¡¯ll definitely not have a good ending. Zuo Hancheng, I sincerely suggest that you don¡¯t keep her by your side. Even if you¡¯re married, you can still divorce her. After all, there¡¯s nothing worth keeping someone like her.¡±Gu Shishi suddenly turned around and interrupted. Mrs. Gu did not say anything. She only glanced at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s action of holding Anhao¡¯s hand and walked over to Gu Shishi¡¯s side to pat her shoulder gently. Gu Shishi was not willing to let go of such a good opportunity. Since her father had already made it clear, there was no need to be polite. ¡°Gu Anhao, even if we can¡¯t be a family, why do you have to be so ruthless?¡± she said mockingly. Wasn¡¯t it just a coincidence that she managed to cling onto Zuo Hancheng¡¯s thigh? Have you been pretending to be pitiful in front of him to gain sympathy? Otherwise, how could a busy man like Zuo Hancheng have the time to accompany you to the Gu family to get something? He actually stood up for you.. Did you put on a lot of painful tricks in front of him?¡± Chapter 339 - Chapter 339: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (1) Chapter 339: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (1) Translator: 549690339 Gu Shishi¡¯s strange words made Anhao raise her eyebrows slightly.¡¯¡±¡® Gu Shishi, I really should thank you. If you hadn¡¯t used such despicable means to frame me back then, and if Zuo Hancheng hadn¡¯t helped me, perhaps I wouldn¡¯t have had anything to do with him in this life. Speaking of which, you¡¯re the matchmaker between us. When we hold our wedding in the future, I¡¯ll definitely give you a big red packet to thank you.¡± As Anhao spoke, she glanced sideways at Mrs. Gu, who was frowning.¡±l¡¯ve never cared about the Gu family. You don¡¯t have to be careful to protect your position as Mrs. Gu anymore. Don¡¯t worry, from today onwards, I won¡¯t appear here anymore. I¡¯ve indeed had enough of this dirty place!¡± Due to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s presence and Gu Tianming¡¯s current attitude, Mrs. Gu did not say anything. Although she was unhappy, she tried her best to hold it in. Gu Shishi was instantly angered. She stepped forward and pointed at Anhao¡¯s face, scolding,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, you b * tch! What right did a lowly illegitimate daughter of a mistress have to stand here and shout? If you don¡¯t care about the Gu family, then get lost. I¡¯ve never made you stay. I can¡¯t wait for you to disappear in front of me.¡± Anhao glared at her coldly.¡± You¡¯re about to graduate from university, but you¡¯re not even as sensible as a child. Gu Shishi, I really feel sorry for your parents. ¡°What did you say?¡± Gu Shishi took a step forward and raised her hand to slap Anhao¡¯s face. Her habit of slapping Gu Anhao had been formed a few years ago. Anhao had been hit by her many times in the past. When she saw her raise her hand, she did not dodge this time. Instead, she looked at her with a cold and mocking gaze. Sure enough, Gu Shishi did not manage to hit him. When she was waving her hand, her hand was suddenly restrained by someone. Gu Shishi turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had suddenly stopped her hand.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you blind? You want such a lowly and shameless woman! A person like you shouldn¡¯t have such bad taste!¡± Zuo Hancheng pushed her hand away. Gu Shishi staggered and took a step back. She looked at him in disbelief, but her hair stood on end under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. ¡°Miss Gu, if you continue to judge a gentleman¡¯s heart with your petty heart, your entire family will walk down the same path as you. Don¡¯t blame me for not reminding you. It¡¯s still unknown whether Anhao is Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter now. Her surname may not be Gu, but any surname of hers will have the word ¡®Zuo¡¯ in front of it. Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao meaningfully.¡±¡± She is no longer the helpless little girl in the Gu family. She is Mrs. Zuo, my woman. Think carefully before you make a move. Be prepared to be hit by whichever hand you touch her.¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s face suddenly turned pale, but she couldn¡¯t accept it and scolded,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, aren¡¯t you the CEO of Shengling Group? Don¡¯t think that I haven¡¯t investigated you. I happened to know some of your past from some channels after the banquet! Zuo Hancheng, it¡¯s impossible for you to love Gu Anhao because the woman you love is already¡­¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes were filled with a smug smile when Gu Anhao suddenly looked up at her. However, before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Gu suddenly pulled her by the handle. Gu Shishi¡¯s voice choked as she turned to look at her mother. ¡°Shishi, are you trying to ruin your father¡¯s career?¡± Mrs. Gu asked softly. Do you know how complicated Zuo Hancheng¡¯s connections in the country are?¡± Gu Shishi did not say anything. She glared at Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao with an ugly expression and whispered, just can¡¯t stand Gu Anhao¡¯s smug look! Anyway, Zuo Hancheng would not really love her! I want to say it!¡± ¡°Stop talking and make fewer mistakes. You should shut up first.¡±Mrs. Gu held her hand. However, Anhao turned around and saw the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. His gaze was as sharp as the ice in the Milky Way, so cold that her bones were almost stained with coldness. He stared at Gu Shishi coldly. Gu Shishi timidly took a small step back due to Mrs. Gu¡¯s words and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. She clenched her fists tightly and whispered, ¡°¡±Anyway, Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t have to be proud. Zuo Hancheng will never love you!¡± The more she spoke, the calmer Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression became. Anhao¡¯s originally calm heart also started to tremble slightly because of the coldness in his eyes. However, that was not the most important thing right now. Although she was unwilling, Gu Shishi¡¯s intention of using this matter to hurt her was too obvious. Anhao suddenly wanted to pull her hand away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand, but Zuo Hancheng held it back and did not give her a chance to escape. Instead, he looked in Gu Shishi¡¯s direction and said,¡±¡±lt¡¯s obvious that Mrs. Gu didn¡¯t teach you well. She didn¡¯t teach you well and didn¡¯t know her limits.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded like it had been tempered with ice. Gu Tianming frowned as he listened. When he saw Shishi¡¯s smug expression, he thought that this child had something on them that could help him. He did not expect it to be such a weak and childish topic. If this topic continued, the Gu family would lose all face in front of Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao! Anhao did not say anything. She felt that Zuo Hancheng had been holding her hand tightly. It wasn¡¯t that he hadn¡¯t held her hand tightly before, but he had never held it as tightly as he did now. It was as if he didn¡¯t allow her the slightest chance to escape or run away like before. At the same time, Anhao suddenly turned to look at Gu Tianming. Gu Tianming frowned when he met her gaze. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes meaningfully, and there was a hint of threat in his eyes. Anhao sneered and mouthed to her,¡± You still want to threaten me at this point? Are you sure? Gu Tianming glared at her unhappily after reading her lips. However, Anhao ignored his gaze and turned around to glance at Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu indifferently. Although Gu Tianming had her mother¡¯s files from back then, she didn¡¯t know if they were real or if he would really leak them. However, she believed that Zuo Hancheng had already put pressure on the Gu family. If Gu Tianming did not want to completely fall out with Zuo Hancheng, he would definitely not disclose her mother¡¯s file at this time, and he would not be able to successfully threaten her. This was the reason why Anhao decided to let Zuo Hancheng accompany her back to get involved in the Gu family¡¯s mess. In the past, she did not want him to get involved in the Gu family¡¯s affairs. But now, she trusted everything that Zuo Hancheng could bring her, just like how she trusted every word he said when she was standing beside him now, no matter what others said. Hence, when he held her hand tightly, her small hand moved gently in his hand, and her fingers gently held hers back.. Chapter 340 - Chapter 340: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (2) Chapter 340: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (2) Translator: 549690339 When they left the Gu residence, Anhao sat quietly in the car without saying a word. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything as he drove, as if he had been triggered. Anhao quietly turned her head to look at him. Just as the car was driving normally on the road, there was a sudden screech of brakes. It gave her a fright and her body leaned forward with the sudden brake. Fortunatelv, she fastened her seatbelt in time and her bodv bounced back into the seat. She was surprised by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sudden sudden brake and turned her eyes in confusion. ¡°Why? Why are you trying to murder me?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned to look at the black bag in her hand. It was filled with the things that Anhao had brought back from the Gu family, including her mother¡¯s photo, some books, and other old things. Seeing the look in his eyes, Anhao put the bag in her hand aside.¡±¡±Did what happened at the Gu family today affect your mood? I really didn¡¯t plan to let you accompany me back to the Gu family, but this time¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen you so magnanimous.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a slightly restrained gaze, which made her feel as if the ice shards were about to fall into her eyes. Anhao looked at him in confusion.¡±¡±What about me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know kung fu and fighting? Haven¡¯t you always wanted to take revenge on the Gu family? When Gu Shishi wanted to hit you, you didn¡¯t even dodge?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she understood what was wrong with him. It turned out that Zuo Hancheng, who was as calm as a man, could also be so angry because he could not stand it anymore! Was this a disappointment? Anhao grinned.¡± Isn¡¯t that because you¡¯re standing beside me? I know you won¡¯t let her hit me. This is a chance for you to show off.¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was not satisfied with her answer. He only frowned and thought of the time when this little woman had gone to the hotel to secretly take photos of him. In the end, she had coincidentally met the Gu family¡¯s mother and daughter, and their faces had been swollen for a few days. Of course, Anhao also knew that no matter how stubborn she was, the bullying she had suffered in the Gu family for so many years was indeed real. Was she weak? Of course not. However, she had only learned how to protect herself over the years. The only and most effective way to protect herself was to stay away from the Gu family. The moment she walked through the main door of the Gu family, layers of pressure bound her hands like ropes. The mother and daughter of the Gu family would play the emotional card when she was so agitated that she wanted to hit someone. They said that even if the Gu family had not treated her well all these years, they had still raised her. Otherwise, she would have starved to death on the streets in the past five years. Gu Tianming would also show her mother¡¯s feelings every time Anhao wanted to settle scores with them, making her endure it again and again. There were many times when she could not take it anymore, but she could not do anything because Gu Shishi was Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter. She could not ruin her future and life just because she hit Gu Shishi. This would only play into Gu Shishi and Mrs. Gu¡¯s hands. Therefore, even though she was harsh with her words, she would more or less suppress her arrogance in front of the Gu family so as not to get burned in the end. She clearly hated them in her heart, but sometimes she had no choice but to tolerate them because she wanted to live well. The Gu family had always been an existence that she wanted to defeat but was powerless to fight against. Zuo Hancheng must be angry that her usually arrogant personality had become so much less arrogant after entering the Gu family. This was an attitude that Zuo Hancheng rarely showed, as he usually did not deliberately reveal his emotions. ¡°Gu Tianming is still the mayor of the city, I am calculating the heart of the whole family, I am not really moving this big stone.¡± I don¡¯t want to implicate you either. After all, there are too many connections between business and politics. If you have anything to do with the Gu family because of me, if it affects you, I might blame myself for the rest of my life. I don¡¯t want my life to be covered with the shadow of self-blame. Anhao laughed as she spoke. ¡°You can throw a tantrum at anyone outside, and you can wring their arms off, but when you return to the Gu family, you¡¯re habitually bullied until you refuse to repent. Is it so interesting to watch Gu Shishi hit you repeatedly?¡± Anhao¡¯s smile froze. However, Zuo Hancheng did not even smile at her.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, the only person you can rely on and choose to rely on is me. No matter what happens, I¡¯ll be here. You have no choice, and I won¡¯t reject any of your requests.¡± ¡°I¡¯d rather you burn the Gu family down arrogantly. After all, it¡¯s better to take revenge yourself. I believe that between my interference and your own actions, you will choose the latter.¡± ¡°I want to burn it, but what happens after I burn it? Wouldn¡¯t that mean going to jail?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her unhappily.¡±¡±Are you treating your husband like a useless decoration time and time again?¡± Anhao smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. She turned her eyes and looked out of the car window. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll take too many risks for me. I¡¯m afraid that my impulsiveness and willfulness will bring you unpredictable trouble. She didn¡¯t say it out loud, but her hand gently tightened around the black bag beside her. Seeing her action, Zuo Hancheng started the car again and the black Bentley sped away on the road. Anhao thought that she would be able to spend the rest of her vacation in peace and enjoy all kinds of deep sleep. However, on the third day after she left the Gu family, she suddenly saw a shocking piece of news in the newspaper. Gu Shishi had been kidnapped! The media speculated that it was done by the people in the police force that Mayor Gu Tianming had offended for so many years. The person had been missing for more than 24 hours. After Anhao finished reading the newspaper, she suddenly thought of Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng would not be so impulsive to do such a thing. It was impossible for Zuo Hancheng to kidnap Gu Shishi, but this was too much of a coincidence, wasn¡¯t it? However, no one picked up the phone after she called. She wondered if she was in a meeting again. At the end of the year, Shengling Group had a lot of meetings and conferences. Various foreign partners often visited China. Zuo Hancheng was very busy, so busy that it was impossible for him to kidnap Gu Shishi. Anhao had no choice but to call Wenner, who happened to be driving past Liujing Garden. Anhao put on her coat and went out, getting into Wenner¡¯s car. ¡°Did Zuo Hancheng do it?¡± Anhao asked directly after she got into the car. She didn¡¯t even try to beat around the bush. ¡°Miss Gu didn¡¯t call Mobai, but came to ask me directly?¡± Wenner laughed as he drove.¡± ¡°Mobai is Zuo Hancheng¡¯s special assistant. I can just come to you for this kind of thing that has nothing to do with the company. Why would I look for Mobai? He¡¯s not Zuo Hancheng¡¯s nanny.¡± Anhao glared at her with an expression that said,¡± Do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± At the same time, she saw that his car was heading in the direction of Shengling Group.. Chapter 341 - Chapter 341: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (3) Chapter 341: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Yes, Miss Gu is very perceptive. She could tell at a glance that I was involved in this matter. She didn¡¯t even give me a chance to lie to avoid suspicion.¡± Wenner smiled as he drove.¡± Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t interfere in this matter. It¡¯s just that you were forcefully brought to my nightclub by Gu Tianming last time. I inexplicably offended Mr. Zuo because of this.¡±¡± ¡°You must know that if a man is unreasonable, he is even more terrifying than a woman.¡±Wenner sighed.¡± First of all, I can¡¯t offend Mayor Gu openly. Second, I have to find an opportunity to make Mr. Zuo give me face again. Otherwise, I¡¯ll cut ties with him. If I lose a friend like Mr. Zuo, wouldn¡¯t my business expansion in City A be hindered by layers of obstacles?¡± ¡°Break off relations? How could Zuo Hancheng be so petty? Besides, aren¡¯t the two of you old friends?¡±Anhao suspected that he was deliberately exaggerating. Wenner smiled and didn¡¯t explain. He just smiled and said,¡±¡±ln short, I am trying to please your Mr Zuo.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re the one behind Gu Shishi¡¯s incident?¡± Anhao pouted. How can you be so resourceful? Could it be that an elite detective like you from the FBI is also a ¡°Sometimes, people have to be good at using relationships.¡± Anhao did not understand at all. She simply felt that Gu Shishi¡¯s accident could not be so simple. ¡°President Zuo indeed didn¡¯t say anything. After all, he¡¯s a busy man. He wouldn¡¯t deliberately take the time to deal with these small characters in the Gu family. However, it¡¯s obvious that your Mr. Zuo doesn¡¯t intend to let them go this time. He¡¯s just taking care of your emotions and didn¡¯t deliberately expose it.¡± ¡°Take care of my emotions?¡± ¡°Yeah, can¡¯t you feel how good Mister Zuo is to you?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Yeah, so good that she worked overtime for a few days straight and didn¡¯t have time to pay attention to me. In the end, I found out such a huge piece of news when I read the newspaper today. I was scared to death, okay?¡±¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll send you to him now.¡± Wenner laughed.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to. He even said that he wanted me to go to his company for an internship. Now that I can finally relax at home, if he finds out that I¡¯ve been really relaxed recently and wants me to work in the company before school starts, won¡¯t I cry to death? Stop the car and let me out.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no hurry.¡± Wenner whistled and glanced at the road opposite him. He couldn¡¯t make a U-turn here. The next intersection would be the boundary of Shengling Group¡¯s square. Anhao held her forehead.¡± In the past, I thought of you as the first idol in my life to get close to you. I was too young.¡±¡® ¡°You can still be an idol now. I can secretly give you an autograph another day. Just don¡¯t let Mr. Zuo know.¡±Wenner turned his head and gave her a charming look. Anhao chuckled and suddenly remembered something serious. ¡°Will Gu Shishi ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± This time, Wenner¡¯s answer was much more serious.¡±¡±l just want her to experience everything you¡¯ve been through. Kidnapping, broken bones, being threatened. I¡¯ll let her experience every single thing. I¡¯m a person who does big things. How can I take on such a life lawsuit? So, he would definitely show mercy! ¡± Although Wenner said so, the evil smile on his lips clearly showed that he did not intend to show mercy. However, it was fine as long as no one died. ¡® She¡¯s already grown up. If she¡¯s suddenly kidnapped, she¡¯ll definitely be in a mess in the future. For example, people will speculate that she was raped or what happened to her. Anyway, she¡¯s already at such a beautiful age, and she¡¯s the mayor¡¯s daughter. Moreover, it was reported in such a big way. You guys are really ruthless. You ruined her life without making a sound. The Gu family is also attracting attention. As expected, there¡¯s no business without evil. The methods of businessmen like you are too dark.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡± Wenner glanced at her in a good mood. Anhao cleared her throat and pretended to be serious.¡±¡±l¡¯m a good citizen. I¡¯m scared to hear that even the police are involved in this.¡± Two seconds after she finished speaking, she suddenly smiled slyly and asked, ¡°How did he do it? It had only been a few days, and he had kidnapped her without batting an eyelid?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll tell you if you call me good brother.¡± Anhao took out her phone from her bag and was about to make a call.¡¯¡±¡®Simple. I¡¯ll give Zuo Hancheng a call and let him witness our ¡®sibling¡¯ relationship.¡± ¡°Hey, don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t¡­Little ancestor, you can¡¯t joke around like this. I¡¯m still trying to please your Mr. Zuo, but I haven¡¯t succeeded. Don¡¯t offend him for me. This time, Wenner was really anxious.¡± It¡¯s actually very simple. You just need to reveal some insider information to a few of your **** friends, and they will sell the information about Gu Shishi to those hidden forces that have a grudge against the Gu family. Gu Tianming has always protected Gu Shishi very well, so you took her place and suffered so much fear when you were five years old. Now, it¡¯s just time for revenge.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all?¡± Anhao was surprised. Wenner smiled.¡± Of course, in order to climb up the social ladder, Gu Tianming has secretly offended many people in the government and the underworld. Naturally, there are people in the business world, but the proportion is smaller. After all, most of the people in the business world are people they want to curry favor with. This is a society where money comes first. Therefore, as long as he revealed some relevant information to those who secretly held grudges, everything would be smooth sailing.¡± ¡°Is it that simple?¡± ¡°How complicated do you think it is?¡± Wenner drove the car into Shengling Group¡¯s underground parking lot.¡±¡±With Mister Zuo around, everything will not be too complicated. Using someone else¡¯s hand to eradicate dissidents, what do you think this small matter will affect him? Even if someone really dies, no one will be able to find him. All we did was casually leak a few words of information. Anhao was speechless. So she was the one who had been shouting for revenge, and the one who was the most timid? ¡°But even if others won¡¯t find trouble with Zuo Hancheng, Gu Tianming doesn¡¯t need to think to guess that it must have something to do with me and Zuo Hancheng. What if the political forces want to put some pressure on Shengling Group?¡± ¡°This little girl is thinking too much at such a young age.¡±Wenner parked the car and unbuckled his seatbelt. He glanced at her.¡±Gu Tianming can¡¯t even protect himself now. He definitely won¡¯t pass this year¡¯s vote. It¡¯s not enough to think of ways to rope in all the vote-holders in City A. How can he dare to offend Zuo Hancheng? In A City, your father is not the one who calls the shots, but your husband. Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?¡± Anhao was a little absent-minded after hearing that. She was in a daze and did not react. ¡°Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and get out of the car. Didn¡¯t you say that Mr.. Left has been working overtime for a few days and has ignored you? Why aren¡¯t you going up to look for him?¡± Chapter 342 - Chapter 342: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (4) Chapter 342: Zuo Hancheng Is Serious This Time (4) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao reached the top floor of Shengling Group, she finally remembered what Wenner was doing here. Could it be that he was really passing by Liujing Garden and received her call, so he sent her to Shengling Group to avoid her causing trouble for him? Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be in the office, she circled around the outside and walked down the escalator at the emergency exit. After walking down a few floors, she saw Wenner flirting with a young intern outside an office full of female staff. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She had no intention of going over, but a female intern came out of the office with a kettle of water. Her face was flushed red as she walked towards the hot water room. Anhao was standing next to the hot water room by the stairs. When the female intern walked over, she suddenly saw someone standing there. She was shocked and took a step back. The hot water bottle in her hand almost fell to the ground. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched and she smiled at her. Wenner also looked over and saw Anhao there, so he gave her a look. It was as if she was saying, ¡®Why aren¡¯t you going to look for your husband? Why are you here disturbing me from picking up girls?¡¯ Anhao smiled without saying a word as she looked at the little girl who was shocked. She turned around and went upstairs again. When she went upstairs, she bumped into Lin Qing, who was walking out of the office opposite. Lin Qing was surprised when he saw her,¡±¡±Miss Gu? Why are you here? When did he arrive? Why didn¡¯t anyone come to inform him?¡± ¡°I just arrived. I saw that President Zuo wasn¡¯t in the office, so I was just walking around. ¡°Anhao said as she walked in the direction of the CEO¡¯s office.¡±¡±Did Zuo Hancheng go to a meeting?¡± ¡°President Zuo was in a meeting in the morning. He went to the advertising department to look at the new plans and scripts. Some advertising scripts need to be finalized by President Zuo.¡±Lin Qing was very polite to An Xiao, ¡°¡±Go to the president¡¯s office first. If I see President Zuo later, I¡¯ll tell him that you¡¯re here.¡± ¡°No need. Just wait for him to finish his work and return to the office. There¡¯s no need to tell him specifically.¡±Anhao waved her hand and strode towards the office. In Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office, Anhao made a new discovery. Before this, all the computers in his office had very strict passwords. However, there was a new laptop beside his desk that had been placed there for some time. Anhao took it over and tried the password. It turned out to be her birthday. She looked at the other computers in surprise, then at the one in front of her. There were a few Mini games installed to relieve boredom, some learning materials, English vocabulary, and so on. Even though the website was not the internal network of Shengling Group, it was connected to the entire network. This computer was prepared for her, and the password was her birthday! Anhao sat at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s desk and felt as if she had been granted some special privileges. She was happily flipping through the things on the computer. The last time she waited for him in his office for a meeting, she was so bored that she couldn¡¯t even open a computer password. After that, she only complained. When did he start preparing a computer for her on his desk? He was usually so serious and organized, but he actually let his wife play on the computer in the office. He even specially left her a space that belonged to her. Did Zuo Hancheng have to treat her so well? About half an hour later, she heard the sound of the office door. Anhao looked up from the screen and looked at the door. She saw her husband wearing a tailored iron-gray suit, exuding a cold boss-like aura. He walked in while answering the phone. However, it was obvious that he had met Lin Qing before he came back, so he knew that she was here. When he entered, he saw her sitting behind his desk. There was no surprise in his eyes and he continued to talk to the person on the other end of the phone. It was only after he hung up the phone that he raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at her leisurely appearance.¡±Why did you come to the company?¡± ¡°Wenner happened to drive past the Gilded Scenic Garden, so I hitched a ride.¡±Anhao rested her chin on her hand and looked at him.¡± Although you usually wear a suit, I rarely see you in this color. You look very good.¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng chuckled, took off his suit jacket and walked over.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you think I look better naked?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he had already walked to the desk and placed his hands on both sides of her body, completely trapping her between his body. Anhao was a little embarrassed, seeing the gloom in his eyes,¡¯¡±¡®Didn¡¯t you just work overtime for a few days after accompanying me back from the Gu family? You left early and returned late, so you didn¡¯t have time to flirt with me. You can¡¯t help but play dirty jokes in your office, right?¡± As she said that, she fearlessly raised her hand to pull his tie, and with a teasing expression, she said, ¡°This is your office anyway. The door isn¡¯t locked, and someone could come in at any time. If you¡¯re not afraid of being seen by others, I¡¯m not afraid either ¡°Are you sure?¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and his smiling eyes darkened. Anhao felt like he was trying to pluck the fur off a tiger¡¯s head when she heard his question. However, the office door was indeed unlocked, and there were transparent glass windows on both sides. Once someone came in, they would definitely be seen. After all, he was the CEO of Shengling Group. He would not let others see this little bit of love between husband and wife. This was completely out of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s character. He had always looked like an abstinent god on the outside, but when he returned home, he was the kind of hooligan who deserved a beating! Hence, she puffed out her small chest.¡±Then, you didn¡¯t cherish the opportunity when I was drugged last time. What do you want to do to me now? Taking off the CEO¡¯s human skin and turning into a big bad wolf?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were as clear as water, but they were also scorching hot. Suddenly, he smiled a little devilishly and lowered his head to whisper into her ear,¡±¡±As you wish.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Before she could understand the words, she suddenly saw him press a call button beside the desk. She did not expect the black button in the middle of the call button to not be the call button, but¡­ She immediately heard the sound of the office door being locked. At the same time, she saw the curtains on the surrounding glass windows gradually fall. In an instant, Anhao, who was initially certain that he wouldn¡¯t do anything because she was in the office, was dumbfounded! ¡°What day is it today?¡± Zuo Hancheng whispered into her ear. Anhao blinked her eyes twice, not understanding what he meant. She continued to look at him with a dumbfounded expression and only reacted after a long time. What he meant was that her period had been gone for a few days! This, this, this, this¡­Zuo Hancheng was serious! Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: Tonight, Tonight (1) Chapter 343: Tonight, Tonight (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Zuo Hancheng, this is your office, you can¡¯t¡­l can¡¯t¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. She widened her eyes and looked around. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at the windows in the office that were covered. She did not dare to make a sound, but Zuo Hancheng seemed to have predicted that she would not dare to make a sound. When she was about to stand up, he did not stop her, but instead, he held her waist and helped her stand up. But when Anhao stood up, it was exactly what he wanted. No, it was right in his arms! He hugged her and pushed her forward, causing her to lean against the desk behind her. Anhao was so agitated by the extremely ambiguous atmosphere that even the frequency of her breathing changed. She was nervous and inexplicably sensitive. Because of his kiss and the gentle caress of his hand on her waist, her entire body felt as if it had been electrocuted. All of a sudden, she felt a clear change in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body, which was pressed tightly against hers. She was immediately sure that he was serious! He was really going to do it! ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t come over!¡± She glared at him with a flushed face and leaned back, almost leaning against the desk. ¡°This¡­ This is your office. Zuo Hancheng, your hobby is too¡­¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already pressed her down on the desk. Her waist was already half-bent, but now that he had pressed her down, she had completely lost her balance and was lying on the desk. She widened her eyes and looked at the face that was getting closer and closer to her. She closed her eyes and cried out in a low voice,¡±This is your workplace! You beast!¡± ¡°So what if it¡¯s my workplace?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile was a little evil. He held her slim waist that could no longer support herself and kissed her lips just as she was about to speak. Before Anhao could utter a sound of rejection, she was already pinned down firmly on the desk by Zuo Hancheng, accompanied by the sound of a few documents on the table being knocked to the ground by her hand. She didn¡¯t know if it was because of the environment she was in, but Anhao was extremely sensitive. Being kissed so deeply by him and his hands brushing over her body, she was already trembling uncontrollably, feeling like she was going to be completely burned. The sound of someone walking past could be heard from outside the door occasionally. Anhao¡¯s entire body tensed up. Every time a sound came near, she would stare at the man on top of her until Zuo Hancheng suddenly helped her up. She thought that he was going to let her go, but he suddenly picked her up by the waist. She was so scared that she instinctively hugged his neck and cried out softly, but her voice was swallowed by him halfway. The feeling ot being soaked in honey almost made her bloat. Although this was his office, it was also his personal space. The place they stepped on was his world. Anhao was still extremely nervous when she was leaning against the desk, but when he carried her up like this, even though her feet didn¡¯t touch the ground, she felt like she was about to float in his arms. At this moment, someone suddenly approached from outside and stopped walking. Anhao¡¯s body tensed up, but she was pressed onto the sofa by Zuo Hancheng. As his kiss deepened and the buttons on her chest were unbuttoned one by one, she quickly whispered,¡¯¡±¡®Outside¡­There¡¯s someone¡­¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, the people outside did not know if they had heard or sensed something. They only stayed for three to four seconds before suddenly leaving. The footsteps didn¡¯t sound like high heels, and they were fast. It was probably either Mobai or Wenner. Anhao¡¯s face was almost red to the tips of her ears. Her hands began to fiddle with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shirt buttons until he raised his hand to pull her hands down and firmly pressed them on both sides of her body. Anhao instinctively wanted to sit up, but just as she moved, he bit her lips. Although it wasn¡¯t very painful, she still glared at him.¡±¡±Why did you bite me?¡± ¡°When will you stop being easily distracted by others, huh?¡±Zuo Hancheng did not press her down anymore. Instead, he carried her onto his lap and let her lean against his chest. His hoarse voice whispered in her ear as he hugged her waist and kissed her gently along her neck. Anhao¡¯s entire body was so soft from his kiss that she couldn¡¯t describe it. She quickly turned her head to look at him. ¡°Did you ask Wenner to handle Gu Shishi¡¯s matter?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. It was obvious that the Gu family¡¯s matter was not within his consideration, and it was not worth wasting every moment between them. He caressed her shoulder and did not answer. He only used a kiss to seal her mouth. Anhao¡¯s heart felt as if it had been filled with honey. His lack of response meant that he had indeed intended to do so. Even though he had only ¡± casually ¡® mentioned it to Wenner, and Wenner had ¡± casually ¡± told some of his friends in the police force, the matter had indeed been settled. Why didn¡¯t she know that her husband was so useful? It seemed that if she wanted to climb up the roof one day, he could help her build a few ladders. Anhao suddenly raised her hands and wrapped them around his neck. She pressed her face against his neck and said in a coquettish tone,¡±¡±lf only I had met you five years ago.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and patted her head.¡±¡±Five years ago? Do you really want to make me dye, point, not, become, years?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± You¡¯re usually such a serious person. Why do you become so indecent when you¡¯re with me?¡± What does age have to do with it?¡± ¡°If I had met you in a bar five years ago, I would definitely have thrown you at the police station instead of the hotel.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled and kissed her on the hairline. ¡®¡±¡®1 regret not being able to participate in your past twenty years, but I am glad that we have each other at this moment.¡± Anhao¡¯s smile widened when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words that were not as simple as ¡®I love you¡¯.¡±¡±l don¡¯t want you to see me with a runny nose when I was younger.¡± ¡°Do you think you haven¡¯t snot in front of Hancheng¡¯s expression was profound as he raised his eyebrows slightly. Anhao widened her eyes in surprise.¡±When?¡± Zuo Hancheng only smiled and did not answer. He gently stroked her head and kissed her neck, making her feel numb all over. His gentle and husky voice rang in her ear, ¡°I won¡¯t work overtime tonight.. Let¡¯s go home together tonight, okay?¡± Chapter 344 - Chapter 344: Tonight, Tonight (2) Chapter 344: Tonight, Tonight (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng really did not work overtime today. He left the office with Anhao on time. However, the two of them took the CEO¡¯s private elevator directly to the parking lot. After getting into the car, Anhao was so hungry that she kept complaining that she wanted to eat crayfish. Zuo Hancheng saw a small pimple on her chin and chose to ignore her cries. He took her to eat some light herbal dishes and told her that she had lost a lot of weight recently. He told her to eat less spicy and stimulating things in the future and to eat some herbal dishes occasionally to improve her physique. While Anhao was eating, although she didn¡¯t dislike the delicious herbal dish, she still mumbled as she ate,¡±¡±Do I need to eat this kind of thing at my age? My face is full of protein, and my body is full of energy. Do I need to supplement it¡­ ¡± Although he said that, he was still full. In the end, the heavens did not give him any face. Just as he was about to eat and go home, it started to rain heavily outside. It was the kind of rain and snow! It was almost spring, and the rain came too early! The weather in A City, a coastal city in the north, was indeed capricious! Anhao was standing outside the restaurant, looking up at the heavy rain outside. She stretched out her hand and could see the snow that was about to melt in the rain. Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her back. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked out. He conveniently covered her with his suit jacket. Zuo Hancheng seemed to be in a good mood today. There was a faint smile on his face, but his deep and bright black eyes were always filled with her reflection. Anhao knew that she couldn¡¯t escape from the game tonight. Of course, she didn¡¯t plan to escape. She had never felt so awake before. She knew that the place she wanted to go to the most was every place with Zuo Hancheng, and the place she wanted to stay in forever was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart. She was aware that she had already fallen into the warm world that this man had made for her. She was awake and wanted to hold on tightly to this happiness and not let anyone take it away from her. She also did not allow anyone to disturb the warmth and satisfaction she had now. She would rather risk her life with this man than let him go. Happiness, one had to hold on tightly to it. ¡°What if it rains?¡± Anhao placed her hand on his arm. Zuo Hancheng looked at the rain outside. This rain was indeed not timely. Even Zuo Hancheng, who had always made preparations in advance, did not expect this. ¡°Stand here and wait. I¡¯ll drive the car over.¡±Zuo Hancheng was about to walk out after saying that. ¡°Then put on your clothes. Otherwise, you¡¯ll catch a cold¡­¡± Anhao was about to return the jacket jacket behind her to him when Zuo Hancheng had already walked out. She saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back as he walked briskly to the roadside in the rain. This man was still so good-looking even in the rain! A few minutes later, the black Bentley stopped at the nearest spot in front of the restaurant. Anhao lifted the coat on her back and covered her head as she ran down the marble stairs in front of the restaurant. She opened the car door and got in. After all, the rain was too heavy, so it was inevitable that she would get a little wet. However, compared to Zuo Hancheng, the slight wetness on her body was already considered good. ¡°Go back and take some medicine to prevent colds.¡±Zuo Hancheng saw that she was shivering from the cold and took out a thin blanket from the glove compartment in the car for her. Anhao took the blanket and wrapped it around her body, but she saw that his body was still dripping with water. His white shirt was completely soaked, and water was dripping from the tips of his short black hair, which then slid down his chin. Damn it, this man didn¡¯t even look like he was in a sorry state when he was drenched in the rain. Instead, he actually acted so seductively in front of her! He even wanted her to look at him calmly! This was simply intolerable! Zuo Hancheng had been considerate enough to turn on the heater in time, so it did not take long for the car to warm up. Anhao wrapped herself in a blanket and sat in the car safely. She turned to look at the flashing neon lights outside the car window and listened to the sound of the car flute and the rain falling on the car window. Compared to the warm and quiet environment in the car, she suddenly felt that the happiness and satisfaction of life were nothing more than this. On the way back to Liujing Garden, they passed by many roadside stalls. The traffic lights changed. When they stopped at the intersection of the busiest street, the huge screen on the opposite building was playing the advertisement of the latest luxury perfume of the year 201X. The spokesperson was Rong Xue. She wore a sexy and comfortable gown and posed in various seductive poses on the screen. Her eyes were full of charm, and it was as if she could feel the fragrance coming from the screen through the screen¡­ However, the rain hit the car window and blurred the image on the screen. Anhao was looking at the screen when Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±How do you think you resemble her?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Anhao was startled. Zuo Hancheng did not look at the big screen at all. His eyes were still fixed on the road in front of the car, but he said to Anhao,¡±¡±How?¡± Hearing him repeat his question, Anhao was stunned. She glanced at the big screen again and whispered, ¡®¡±¡®1 didn¡¯t notice it either. I heard it from someone in T City that time. I didn¡¯t take it too seriously at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that if Miss Rong removed her makeup, her eyes wouldn¡¯t look so enchanting and her makeup wouldn¡¯t be so thick.¡± ¡°A little?¡± This was the first time Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng would be so persistent in getting to the bottom of things, so she could only say casually,¡±¡±Eyes!¡± ¡°Eyes?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­¡± After saying that, Anhao added guiltily,¡±¡±We all have double eyelids!¡± ¡°Yes, they both have double eyelids, Asian skin, and black eyes. They have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao was completely stunned. She turned to look at the big screen. Rong Xue¡¯s perfume advertisement had ended and it had changed to another advertisement. She decided to change the topic.¡± Although Miss Rong didn¡¯t go to a big entertainment company like Yixing, she¡¯s doing very well in a second-tier company. So many internationally renowned brands are looking for her to advertise. She¡¯s advertising everywvhere. She must have made a lot of money¡­¡± ¡°Are you envious?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Anhao snorted.¡± I¡¯m just envious of her earning money. I¡¯m not envious of her filming advertisements.¡±¡® ¡°You have to pay the same price for everything, including irreparable prices. There¡¯s no need to envy anyone.¡±Zuo Hancheng drove through this bustling intersection without looking at the big screen. Anhao raised her eyebrows, thinking that the price he was talking about was himself. What had Rong Xue done that even a magnanimous person like Zuo Hancheng could not forgive her? The so-called deep love and deep hatred were not the same. Zuo Hancheng had never denied the past between her and Rong Xue, but he had never admitted how much he loved Rong Xue. Moreover, it seemed that no one in the Zuo family would deliberately mention Rong Xue. Other than Cheng Xin who had deliberately mentioned her, no one else spoke about it. Anhao couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. She wanted to ask Rong Xue how she had offended him. As soon as he turned around, Zuo Hancheng said coldly as if he had expected it,¡¯¡±¡®l have the right to refuse to answer any stupid question.¡± Chapter 345 - Chapter 345: Tonight, Tonight (3) Chapter 345: Tonight, Tonight (3) Translator: 549690339 Speaking of which, what could be more tragic than encountering a traffic jam in this kind of rainy and snowy weather? Seeing that the road back to the Mu Garden was still far away, Anhao was almost falling asleep as she listened to the sound of the rain outside. All of a sudden, Zuo Hancheng turned the car directly towards the bridge at the side. Anhao felt the direction of the car change and opened her eyes to look outside. She could not help but ask,¡¯¡±Wouldn¡¯t it be further away from the Gilded Scenic Garden if we go on the bridge?¡± Left cold city no answer car driving on the bridge after a road unimpeded no obstruction, until well sleepy hazy found car in Shengling Group¡¯s new investment in a house stopped in front of the hotel, she just fierce awake come over. Then, she looked up at the hotel building with more than 80 floors that reached the clouds. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re planning to stay in a hotel tonight?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced sideways at her.¡± It¡¯s better to sleep in the hotel than to sleep in the car for a few hours in such weather.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao was still a little sleepy. When she sat up straight, she felt a little sore on her back. Indeed, no matter how comfortable Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car was, it was not as comfortable as the bed in the hotel or at home. It was still raining outside when they got out of the car. There was a platform in front of the hotel that prevented the car from going up. Zuo Hancheng was about to ask someone to bring out an umbrella when Anhao had already gotten out of the car. She had fallen asleep in the car just now. If she got out of the car like this, she was bound to be drenched. The sleet was colder than pure rain or snow. After the room was arranged, Anhao entered the elevator with trembling hands and rushed straight to her room. After the door opened, Anhao walked into the dark luxury suite. She was still shivering, and she wanted to take a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom to warm herself up. She raised her hand to look for the light switch on the wall, but before she could touch it, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand suddenly caressed her cold and wet face. In the next moment, Anhao¡¯s body was suddenly pushed over by him, and she was facing him. In the pitch-black room, she could only feel the warmth of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand, which made her cold body extremely comfortable. His eyes were so blurry in the dark that she could not see them clearly. The light outside the door was also extremely dark. Anhao felt herself being pressed against the door by him. His hand gently and slowly caressed her cheek, causing her cheek to gradually roll and heat up. His hand was locked around her waist, preventing her from moving. Their bodies were pressed tightly against each other until his lips slowly covered hers. In the slightly cold air in the room, only his warmth and breath were left¡­ Tonight, Zuo Hancheng was as gentle and patient as ever. It was as if he had scared her the last time in T City. Even though he would not let her off tonight, his actions were full of lust and a little comfort from the beginning. Their lips kissed tightly. Anhao was originally very cold, but now her temperature was rising rapidly. Their clothes were wet and sticky on their bodies. Through their clothes that were covered in rain, they could feel each other¡¯s body gradually heating up. His lips sucked lightly on her lips, and the warm, soft, and gentle touch had invaded all her nerves and completely occupied her soft lips. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng had already given her too many chances. He seemed to have been trapped for a long time. His love and indulgence for her had turned into a desire for her, and at this moment, it seemed to have exploded. The kiss that was originally gentle and gentle gradually became hot. As he kissed her with force, Anhao could not help but let out a low moan¡­ Zuo Hancheng trapped her completely between his hot chest and the door. When Anhao¡¯s body gradually softened from the initial nervousness, his hand slowly searched for the hem of her clothes. Their lips were still intertwined and did not let go. When she could not help but moan, they sealed her voice in their mouths and swallowed her moan. Anhao could clearly feel her legs pressing against hers. There was really no room for her to resist. His well-defined fingers caressed her slender waist muscles, bringing about a burning sensation. His fingers gradually caressed her from the back of her waist to her front¡­ Anhao¡¯s rationality gradually collapsed. She originally wanted to say that she wanted to take a shower, but both of them were wet and did not want to waste a single second on each other. The wait had been too long. Her stubbornness, her carefulness, her fear, his indulgence, his forbearance, and his restraint. Everything finally exploded at this moment, and no one could stop it. His actions were not light, but they were full of teasing intent. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss gradually landed on her shoulder. Anhao did not even know when her clothes had been stripped off. She only knew that his kisses were wrapped around her neck and shoulders. She only knew that he was unbuttoning her jeans and that the last barrier on her upper body was about to be removed by him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss was sometimes gentle and sometimes terrifyingly 111 v c. Tonight, he obviously did not have the usual patience. Just as she was about to completely collapse, he almost invaded her like this. She did not even know when her clothes were completely removed. They only knew that their clothes were scattered all over the floor from the door of the room¡­ Anhao saw that the big bed in the room was still a few meters away from them, but Zuo Hancheng could not wait any longer. He, who had always been so strong, was finally completely exhausted when she took the initiative to embrace him. Anhao only felt herself being pushed to the nearest French window by the ¡®Lodestiny¡¯. The curtains fluttered in front of her eyes. Although it was raining heavily outside, the lights were still on, and the neon lights were exceptionally bright. She had never felt her body so hot before. It was so hot that she trembled in his arms. However, the cold touch of the French window in front of her was in stark contrast to the heat behind her. She was sandwiched in the middle of it and her entire body could not help but tremble¡­ Everything outside the French windows was so clear. The city lights were blooming in front of her eyes. She was afraid that she would be seen by others, but she forgot that she was on the 60th floor. No one here could see the height at all. The curtains fluttered in front of her eyes. Chapter 346 - Chapter 346: Tonight, Tonight (4) Chapter 346: Tonight, Tonight (4) Translator: 549690339 He held her tightly in his arms. It felt like pain, yet not pain. It felt like itchiness, yet not itchiness. This feeling was different from the panic and surprise from before. She felt as if her entire body had gone limp. She could no longer rely on her own strength to support herself. Her entire body could only lean against the window and in his embrace behind her. She knew it.. It would definitely hurt so much that she could not bear it at all! ¡°Let go of yourself¡­Don¡¯t be nervous¡­ Baby¡­¡± The word ¡®baby¡¯ lingered in her ears and made Anhao¡¯s entire body go limp. She even heard Zuo Hancheng kiss her ear and ask in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±Does it hurt?¡± Anhao¡¯s face flushed red as she pressed herself against the window. She shook her head instinctively before nodding her head¡­ It was still raining outside the window. Anhao turned over and fell into the soft blanket. The soreness in her body forced her to open her eyes. She was sleepy and tired. Recalling how Zuo Hancheng had tossed and turned her countless times last night, she buried her head deep into the blanket. She was no longer like her last night. Even her voice did not sound like her anymore. In the end, she only remembered that her voice was almost hoarse and that she was about to faint. Zuo Hancheng finally showed mercy and let her go. He carried her into the bathroom and personally helped her bathe. This man, Zuo Hancheng! On the surface, he looked gentle and refined, but he proved that a man could not be judged by his appearance! This man had used his physical strength and actions to prove the consequences of her owing him so many times. To put it bluntly, if she hadn¡¯t begged him hoarsely last night, he would have really given her a break until dawn! His legs, waist, and entire body were sore! His throat also hurt! The bathroom door opened, and Zuo Hancheng came out. He saw that Ann had already woken up and was buried in the pillow and blanket like an ostrich. Anhao was hiding under the blanket, unwilling to face the version of herself that had been ruined last night. However, the pillow on her head was suddenly moved away, and the blanket was pulled away at the same time. She immediately turned around tensely and saw Zuo Hancheng, who was only wearing a towel on his lower body. The first thing he saw was the scratch marks on her shoulder. It seemed that her hands had not been obedient last night. Seeing this early in the morning, Anhao quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s perfect lips curled up slightly. Why are you hiding?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s hiding? I¡¯m cold, okay?¡± Anhao hurriedly pulled the blanket over her body, but suddenly glanced at him.¡±¡±Who ate who clean? My entire body is sore and aching, and I¡¯ve decided not to get out of bed for three days. I deeply feel that I¡¯ve suffered internal injuries and need to recuperate!! Zuo Hancheng chuckled and lifted the blanket off her. Anhao screamed. She wasn¡¯t wearing any clothes at all! This bastard! ¡°What are you doing? Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re planning to continue right after the day is up? ¡°I saw that you were too tired last night, so I only helped you take a casual bath. You¡¯ll feel much more comfortable if you take a hot bath again.¡± Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were very serious, his eyes were admiring her body from top to bottom as she had expected. When he saw the marks he had left on her body, he seemed very satisfied, and his eyes darkened at the same time. The corner of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. The blanket had been snatched away by him, so she simply pulled the bedsheet and wrapped it around herself. She turned around and got out of bed, but because of the unusual soreness in her legs, she staggered and almost fell over. She quickly raised her hand and stood by the bed. She did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, so she turned around and ran into the bathroom. She stood in the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Was she going to go out and meet people these few days?! She turned around and looked at the bathtub. She turned around and lay down in the hot water. She felt so comfortable that she let out a long sigh. Just as she felt comfortable soaking in the hot water, she really felt that all the muscles in her body had relaxed a lot. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened. Anhao opened her eyes lazily and saw Zuo Hancheng walking in. She immediately sat up and said, ¡°¡±Hey, hey, hey, haven¡¯t you already washed it? What are you doing here? Hey, hey, don¡¯t take off your towel. Zuo Hancheng, you.. ¡°Let¡¯s shower together.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s answer was concise and to the point as he approached her.. Chapter 347 - Chapter 347: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (1) Chapter 347: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (1) Translator: 549690339 In the end, he had sex with her again in the bathtub. Moreover, she had just experienced a night of suffering, and in the blink of an eye, she was in the water like this. She had a premonition that her future life would probably be dark from now on. The heavy rain lasted for a day and a night. It finally stopped at five o¡¯clock in the afternoon the next day. The traffic jam outside was still ongoing. When Anhao and Zuo Hancheng returned to Liu Jing Garden, it was already past eight o¡¯clock in the evening. When they got home, Anhao collapsed on the sofa like a boneless doll. She raised her hand and said, ¡®¡±¡®1 can¡¯t take it anymore. Zuo Hancheng, you have to let me go upstairs to sleep alone tonight. I need to rest, or I¡¯ll die!¡± What was the consequence of having to stay in the hotel for the whole day because of the heavy rain and traffic jam? Was there a need to ask? In the past, she only knew that Zuo Hancheng could work day and night, but she never thought that he could work day and night as well. He would continue after eating and after taking a shower. When she got into the car, Anhao¡¯s entire body felt weak. When she returned home, she lay on the sofa and did not want to move anymore. Unless Zuo Hancheng used the Gourmet Summoning Spell, she would definitely play dead until the end! At most, if he was willing, he could just come over and rape her! Well¡­ What was that smell? It smelled so good. Anhao had fallen asleep on the sofa. When she was woken up by the fragrance, she turned around and realized that she was lying on the bed in the bedroom. Her coat had been taken off and she was covered with a blanket. The lights in the bedroom were set to the darkest brightness. It was very comfortable. Was it Zuo Hancheng who was merciful enough to carry her into the bedroom after she fell asleep? So this man finally let her go when he saw that she was really out of strength? Fortunately, she thought that he would continue to exploit her when he returned home! Anhao scratched her head and sat up. When she walked out of the bedroom, she saw that there were already cooked fish bowls and various delicacies on the dining table. There was also some fragrance coming from the kitchen. Anhao, who had been hungry for the whole day, gulped and walked over. She picked up her chopsticks and secretly picked up a piece of smooth and tender fish to eat. She immediately nodded her head. Did Zuo Hancheng really understand her so well that he would use the Gourmet Summoning Spell to wake her up? This was too much! But it was also too delicious! Anhao couldn¡¯t help but pick up another piece of fish and eat it. However, because she ate too quickly, her mouth was scalded. She quickly lifted it up and fanned it with her mouth. When she turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out, she immediately fanned her mouth and forced a smile.¡±Why is it so sumptuous?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He glanced at her and said, ¡°[Hot] Anhao smiled sheepishly and turned around to pour herself a glass of water.¡±l ate too quickly just now, but it wasn¡¯t scalded.¡± ¡°Go get your own utensils.¡± Anhao turned around and ran into the kitchen in a good mood. She had wanted to keep a distance of more than three meters away from Zuo Hancheng from today onwards until she had recovered. However, she could not resist the temptation of delicacies, especially delicacies made by Zuo Hancheng himself. She could only talk about her moral integrity after she had finished eating! During the meal, Zuo Hancheng went to the kitchen to get the soup that he had prepared. Anhao had initially asked him why he had made such a sumptuous meal today. He said that he wanted to nourish her body so that she would not start shouting and complaining about her lack of energy every time he was not satisfied. It was indeed a beast! However, the moment Zuo Hancheng entered the kitchen, his phone that he had thrown on the sofa rang. Anhao was about to go to the coffee table to get some tissues when she walked around the sofa and saw the message on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone screen. She immediately raised her eyebrows and picked it up. ¡°Hancheng, happy New Year¡¯s Eve. I know you¡¯ve been back to China for five years, so you must have gotten used to the New Year here. You must still be working, right? I¡¯m the same. I¡¯m still filming in the crew. Only a bottle of red wine is accompanying me tonight. love-you,forever.¡± So today was the eve of the Lunar New Year. For so many years, Anhao had no feelings for the New Year. Anyway, whatever festival she was in the Gu family had nothing to do with her, so she was not very sensitive to festivals. It was no wonder that the traffic in A City had been so bad recently. It was probably because many people had gone home recently, causing the most convenient roads in A City to be congested. No wonder Zuo Hancheng suddenly cooked such a sumptuous meal tonight. He said that he wanted to nourish her body, but this was actually the first New Year¡¯s Eve they had spent together. Even though there was still a week before the real New Year, the warm atmosphere still made Anhao feel extremely satisfied. Of course, she had seen Rong Xue¡¯s email before, so she did not feel anything about the message from Rong Xue. But wasn¡¯t this woman a little too persistent? Wouldn¡¯t he be too sure? She was a world-famous female celebrity, a goddess in the eyes of so many men, but she was infatuated with waiting for a man to turn around. This was too silly. Was it because he had loved her too deeply that he had never let her go, or was he unwilling to give up? At this moment, Zuo Hancheng had already scooped out the soup. Anhao walked over with his phone.¡±Then, the international superstar, Miss Rong, specially sent a congratulatory message to wish you a happy New Year¡¯s Eve.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly and said,¡±¡±Are you jealous?¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes and sat down at the dining table.¡±l have a table full of delicious food to accompany me. If I don¡¯t eat them, why would I be jealous?¡± As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and gave him a look.¡±She¡¯s so persistent that my heart almost aches.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just joking, I¡¯m jealous!¡± Anhao glared at him and scooped up the soup angrily. However, she was scalded again and quickly turned her head to fan it. Zuo Hancheng shook his head when he saw how stupid she was. He took out his phone and glanced at it. However, he only glanced at it briefly before putting it down. Anhao continued to drink the soup and said,¡±¡±l didn¡¯t know it was the eve of the Lunar New Year today. It seems like I haven¡¯t paid attention to when the new year is coming for many years.¡± ¡± Yes, you only care about when the winter vacation and summer vacation will start.¡±¡±¡±Don¡¯t eat too much, or you¡¯ll hurt your stomach.¡± Zuo Hancheng picked up some food for her.¡± ¡°Everyone says that Zuo Hancheng is cold and mysterious, and it¡¯s hard for him to even see you. Why do you treat me like an old mother?¡±Anhao mumbled as she ate.. Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (2) Chapter 348: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng smiled without saying a word. When Anhao was eating and staring at him, he chuckled. ¡°Hurry up and eat. Why are you talking so much nonsense?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows, picked up her chopsticks, and started the crazy sweeping mode. In the end, she was still too full. Zuo Hancheng did not usually cook, but once in a while, he would make a dish so delicious that she could not bear to leave even a little bit of soup behind. Whether it was Chinese food, Western food, or just simple egg noodles, it would greatly increase her appetite. Fortunately, he was usually busy and did not have time to be a househusband. Otherwise, she would probably gain 20 pounds in a month. That was too scary! There was dessert after the meal. Zuo Hancheng received a call before he went to get the dessert. From the tone of the call, it should be from the Zuo family in the United States. It seemed that Father Zuo was asking about their New Year in China. After he hung up the phone, he went to prepare dessert for her. Anhao sat at the dining table contentedly and waited for Zuo Hancheng to pamper her from the beginning of the meal to the end of the dessert. However, her eyes kept glancing at the phone on the table from time to time. After thinking about it, she took his phone and opened the message again. In fact, if Anhao were to look at Rongxue from the perspective of the real wife, she would definitely look at a woman from the perspective of a mistress. However, when he thought about it rationally, Rong Xue, a proud woman who stood at the peak of her career and was a goddess that could not be defiled in the eyes of others, was unwilling to withdraw from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s life in such a humble way. She used all kinds of methods to create waves in his world. Of course, no matter what, Rong Xue was now standing on the side of a mistress who wanted to destroy her marriage. She was not worthy of sympathy and understanding. However, that did not mean that she could ignore Rong Xue¡¯s excellence. A proud woman in Zuo Hancheng had changed into a woman who had no means of breaking, had become a woman who was deeply entangled in love, and had loved her to the bone. Otherwise, how could a proud person become like this? Since it was the eve of the Lunar New Year, Anhao did not intend to quarrel with him even though she had a bad temper. She took Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone and replied to Rong Xue¡¯s message. ¡± Miss Rong, two people are in love, and one person is in unrequited love. Happy New Year¡¯s Eve. Actually, she didn¡¯t intend to write the last five words, but considering her own perspective and that it was the eve of the Lunar New Year, she had to at least put on a gentlemanly act. She couldn¡¯t embarrass her husband, right? There was a reply as soon as the message was sent. It seemed that Rong Xue had been holding her phone and waiting for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s reply. ¡°Are you Gu Anhao?¡± Anhao held her phone in one hand and rested her chin on the other, thinking about how to reply. At this moment, Zuo Hancheng took out some dessert and fruits and placed them on the dining table in front of her. When he saw that she was holding her phone and seemed to be about to type, his eyebrows twitched slightly. Anhao looked up at him and waved her phone.¡±¡±l¡¯m chatting with an international superstar. It¡¯s the new year, and I have Mr. CEO¡¯s meal and dessert on one side, and a goddess-level superstar chatting with me on the other. Don¡¯t you think I¡¯m a little too lucky?¡± The jealousy in her words was so strong that Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her before turning around to get his things from the bedroom. Without looking back, he said, ¡°¡±Do whatever you want. Remember not to drag me down with you.¡± ¡°Why would I drag you into this? I¡¯m not stupid enough to push you to someone else.¡±Anhao said as her fingers quickly typed on the phone screen. Zuo Hancheng had already entered the bedroom when he suddenly walked out and glanced at her.¡±¡±Are you sure you haven¡¯t lost your mind?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s fingers froze. She cleared her throat and said with an expression that seemed to have changed over time,¡±¡±That was in the past. Anyway, I didn¡¯t really push you out. Didn¡¯t you see that my combat strength has always been very strong?¡± She stared at the screen and sent the message to Rong Xue. ¡®It¡¯s me. Is Miss Rong¡¯s wine good?¡¯ After sending this message, Anhao felt that her demeanor had instantly increased by tens of times. She was eating the fruits that Zuo Hancheng had personally delivered to her while waiting to continue chatting with the international superstar. However, the superstar seemed too lazy to continue chatting with her and did not reply after a few minutes. Since the mistress didn¡¯t intend to send any more harassing messages, Anhao naturally wouldn¡¯t continue to talk to her. She put down her phone and was about to get up when she heard the phone on the table ring. He looked down and saw that Rong Xue had called him directly! Speechless, she picked up her phone and glanced at it. Then, she turned around and walked into the bedroom. She saw Zuo Hancheng pulling out a box of condoms from somewhere. It was a super-thin series from a big brand. The corner of her eyes twitched when she saw it, and she forgot about the phone for a moment. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was about to take out the box and throw it away, Anhao felt her phone ringing non-stop in her hand. She came back to her senses and stared at the exquisite silver box in his hand.¡±What are you doing? What¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng answered her directly with his actions and threw it into the dustbin outside the door. Anhao looked back in surprise, then looked at him again.¡±¡±Throw away what?¡± Was he planning to not use any measures between them? It seemed that she did not take any precautions the last time she was in T City. It was too rushed at that time, and she did not take any precautions at the hotel last night. Initially, Anhao had forgotten about it for a moment after experiencing such a thing. Now that she remembered it, she was surprised to find that Zuo Hancheng was planning to have a baby with her directly! She was only 20 years old. Was he really going to let her have a child? She was still a child, hey! Just as Anhao was about to resist, Zuo Hancheng took the phone that had been ringing for a long time. He picked up the phone after seeing the caller ID and walked out beside her. She was really not ready to be a mother! Why don¡¯t I leave the condoms behind and forget about it this time? Anyway, it¡¯s impossible to win the lottery so quickly, but I should take precautions in the future! Anhao kept thinking about countermeasures when she suddenly remembered something. Wait a minute! Zuo Hancheng had actually answered Rong Xue¡¯s call right in front of her, and he had even walked out of the bedroom to answer it! Anhao immediately turned around and looked outside. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had not gone far, she did not say much when she picked up the phone. She only said,¡± I¡¯m fine,¡± and then said,¡± Okay.¡± After answering a few simple and cold words, she hung up the phone. As if sensing Anhao¡¯s gaze, he put his phone aside and turned back to look at Anhao, who seemed to have become a clairaudient.¡±¡±Rongxue drank too much on set tonight and asked me to pick her up.¡± Anhao¡¯s hair stood on end when she heard that..¡±¡±Then are you going to pick it. Chapter 349 - Chapter 349: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (3) Chapter 349: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s hair stood on end when she heard that.¡±¡±Then are you going to pick it Zuo Hancheng did not answer and walked back to her unhurriedly. Anhao stared into his eyes, waiting for his answer. However, when Zuo Hancheng walked up to her, he actually stroked her chin and chuckled.¡±¡±lt depends on your performance.¡± Anhao was stunned. When she came back to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had been teased by him! However, seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have any intention of going out, Anhao did not persist in asking. Even if Rong Xue was now a second-tier entertainment company, she was still an A-list celebrity. She had an RV, an assistant, a manager, and a driver. Even if she drank too much, there would still be someone to take care of her. Besides, the entire crew couldn¡¯t have drunk too much, right? Using the excuse of getting drunk on the eve of the Lunar New Year to ask Zuo Hancheng to pick her up, this motive could not be any more obvious! At night, Anhao was in a daze when she saw Zuo Hancheng sitting beside her with a laptop in his hand. She thought that he was working or reading some documents, but when she glanced at the screen, she realized that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be surfing the Internet. Aiyoh, Zuo Hancheng, who was an internet terminator, was actually surfing the internet! Anhao woke up a little and looked at the screen quietly. However, there was also a bunch of English words on the screen. She couldn¡¯t see it clearly from her angle, and the English words couldn¡¯t be pieced together clearly. After looking at it for a long time, she finally gave up and went back to sleep. The next morning, Anhao was sleeping soundly. In her dream, she was eating a pig trotter when she was suddenly woken up by her phone ringing. She squinted her half-awake eyes and glanced at her phone. She cursed under her breath. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already gotten up at this time. She was the only one on the bed. She could not help but raise her hand to grab her hair and put the phone to her ear. ¡°Su Chunchun, it¡¯s only 8:30 in the morning. If you don¡¯t have any life-threatening matters, believe it or not, I¡¯ll stuff you into the principal¡¯s office after school starts and say that you stole the underwear of the male dormitory!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao! You¡¯re famous!¡± ¡°Fire your sister!¡± Anhao rolled around on the bed with a sleepy expression. Her body had been in desperate need of rest and sleep for the past few days. Zuo Hancheng had been merciful and let her go last night mainly because she had eaten too much and complained that her stomach was uncomfortable when he hugged her. He had reluctantly let her go and helped her massage her stomach for the whole night to promote digestion. In the end, she finally managed to get a good night¡¯s sleep in the morning when Su Chunchun¡¯s call came. More importantly, how did she think of setting the music for Su Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s calls to be so scary! ¡°Anhao, you¡¯re really famous. You¡¯re so famous that you¡¯re overseas!¡± Su Chunchun¡¯s tone was especially exaggerated, as if something huge had really happened. Based on Anhao¡¯s understanding of Su Chunchun, she knew that although this girl was usually crazy and unreliable, for her to suddenly call so early in the morning to say such things, she should not be unwilling. Anhao grabbed her hair and frowned impatiently. She said sleepily,¡±¡±What happened? Why am I popular?¡± ¡°Hurry up and go online. Go to Facebook and take a look! Hurry up and go!¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes.¡± I don¡¯t have a Facebook account. What am I looking at?¡±¡± ¡°Boss Zuo posted your photo on his Facebook! That was Boss Zuo¡¯s only public social media account, and that was the only photo he had ever posted on Facebook. It was you!¡±Su Chunchun was so excited that she was almost incoherent.¡±Oh my god, Anhao, your popularity on the internet has already surpassed that of an A-list celebrity! He¡¯s so strong, I¡¯m going to fall under Boss Zuo¡¯s pants, ah ah ah ah ah oh my god¡­¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she finally picked up the computer beside her bed. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s computer could connect directly to foreign networks, so he could easily log into Facebook. This was a very famous public social media platform overseas. It was even more famous than Weibo in China. It gathered celebrities and successful people from all over the world and attracted much attention. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was a low-key person. He had never appeared on the internet or in the media. He did not have a Weibo account either. Shengling Group had a dedicated company Weibo account and some related public relations platforms, but he had never made a statement. The only account he had personally verified was this foreign Facebook account, but he had never posted a photo or said a word on it for so many years. There was not even a single exclamation mark. However, when Anhao opened Facebook, she instantly saw the photo that Zuo Hancheng had posted at midnight last night. It was the expression on her face when she sat at the dining table last night and ate the delicacies with relish. Why didn¡¯t she know when Zuo Hancheng had taken the photos? Wasn¡¯t he looking at Rongxue¡¯s messages when he picked up his phone? Instead, he was taking photos of her? Anhao looked at the only photo on his Facebook in a daze. At the same time, she saw a sentence on the photo. My-wife. Anhao¡¯s eyes widened instantly, almost thinking that she had seen wrongly. Zuo Hancheng was such a low-profile man, but he had announced the news of his marriage to the whole world last night. Was this considered a New Year¡¯s gift? He didn¡¯t need Old Master Zuo¡¯s approval, and he didn¡¯t need any complicated methods. He was just telling everyone that she was his wife and Gu Anhao was Mrs. zuo. He scrolled down and saw some comments. Many of them were very sour, and most of them seemed to be women. Some men¡¯s comments were very cute and lovely, including very beautiful and so on. One of them was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s only reply, and it was the one that praised her for being beautiful and cute. Anhao¡¯s phone was still ringing with Su Chunchun¡¯s words. She picked up the phone stiffly and placed it beside her ear. Chunchun was already so excited that she was about to go crazy. ¡°Anhao, you saw it, right? Zuo Hancheng is too handsome. Oh my god, isn¡¯t he usually the most low-key? In the end, the first time he spoke was to directly send a photo of you. The two of you are showing off your love for each other without saying a word! He even showed it to the whole world! It¡¯s so romantic!¡± Anhao listened to the phone while looking at the photos. Her hand kept scrolling through the comments. Of course, she was happy to hear those who praised her beauty, but the sour comments from those women almost made her explode. What did she mean by small breasts? What did he mean by having a flat figure and not looking good at all? What did he mean by eating in an ugly manner and smiling too fakely? What did he mean by not worthy of Mr. Zuo? Your sister! Chapter 350 - Chapter 350: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (4) Chapter 350: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was so shocked and touched that she almost used Zuo Hancheng¡¯s account to reply to those girls who sounded sour! However, she had to endure it. Now that she had temporarily become a famous person, she would have to register her own account to scold others. How could she use Zuo Hancheng¡¯s account to scold others? She would embarrass her husband! Anhao resisted the urge to continue reading the comments, lest she was angered to death by those sour words. So what if I¡¯m Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife? Come and scratch me if you have the ability? Anhao held her chin and smiled as she looked at the screen. She swiped down and saw another trending topic on Facebook today. International movie star Alice would post new promotional photos and posters on her Facebook page every week, along with some PR texts. However, at 3 0¡¯clock in the morning today, there was a very short content posted on it. The content was actually typed out in Pinyin. hehe..?Haha? Did Rong Xue not sleep the whole night? Anhao did not hesitate to read Rong Xue¡¯s comments. After all, many people overseas, including Rong Xue¡¯s fans, knew that she used to be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s girlfriend. If she were to post such a simple yet hidden message at this moment, she would definitely be scolded. As for fans, most of them were young and brainless fans. In order to protect their idol, they must have scolded Mrs. Zuo badly. Anhao wouldn¡¯t go looking for this torture. However, when she thought about people like Zuo Hancheng, who usually kept a low profile, he would be so calm that no one could see through him before he did anything. This kind of black-bellied man would suddenly send her photos and use such a method. On the one hand, this was a New Year gift for her. On the other hand, he was officially telling Rong Xue that everything was really in the past. Rong Xue must have said a lot to him on the phone last night, but he did not know what she said. However, Anhao personally liked this new year¡¯s gift. She tried her best to ignore the comments of those women about her small breasts. After turning off the computer, she turned around and got out of bed. She stuck out her small chest and lowered her head to take a serious look at her chest. It was not small either! Although she was indeed a little inferior to Rong Xue, who was as sexy as a pervert, she was still Mrs. Zuo, who had been publicly announced by her husband to the whole world. She could not lose face. It seemed that she had to eat more papaya and tofu in the future to try to expand her breasts¡­ Just as she was about to walk out of the bedroom, she heard her phone ring again. Even if she used her toes to think, she knew that it was not Huang Amao calling. It must be some other classmate or friend who knew her number. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The mysterious CEO in everyone¡¯s eyes had suddenly posted such a photo and message, catching everyone off guard. Anhao was also caught off guard and turned her phone to silent mode. She then turned around and ran out. She had originally planned to run out and give Zuo Hancheng a big hug, then use a very exaggerated expression to say that she really liked this new year¡¯s gift. But just as she ran out, she bumped into Lin Qing, who had appeared out of nowhere. Anhao stopped in her tracks and retracted her infatuated and unrestrained expression. She smiled at Lin Qing and simply turned around to enter the bathroom. After washing up in the bathroom, she heard Lin Qing talking to Zuo Hancheng about the new season recruitment and the difficulty of the qualifications. Seeing that they were talking about work again, Anhao decided to go back to the bedroom to answer the Dhone. After all. it wouldn¡¯t be good if she keDt disappearing today. But just as she was about to enter the bedroom, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice coming from the sofa.¡±¡±There are still two months before the recruitment of the human resources department at the beginning of the year. The company is not crowded for the time being. Arrange an internship for Anhao for twenty days.¡± Anhao gasped and turned to look at them.¡±¡±No way¡­¡± Lin Qing turned back to look at her and smiled before nodding at Zuo Hancheng.¡¯¡±¡®l understand, President Zuo.¡± ¡°Can I not go¡­¡± Just as Anhao was about to soften her tone and plead for mercy, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang out again.¡±Any position that is suitable for her to train in will do. It has to be a job that can be placed into her as soon as possible, and it would be best if it is within two days. Of course, it had to be under the premise that it did not affect the development of the company¡¯s various departments.¡± ¡°Okay, President Zuo. I¡¯ll discuss it with the HR department in the afternoon and give you an answer before tonight.¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded and continued to talk to Lin Qing about the company¡¯s latest proposal as if he had ignored Anhao. Anhao¡¯s head was about to explode. She wanted to reject him and scold him. However, she could not believe that Zuo Hancheng had just given her such a big surprise last night. Now, he had turned his back on her! There were only 20 days left of her winter vacation, and he still had to arrange for her to work as an intern at Shengling Group. He wouldn¡¯t let go of even 20 days! However, compared to writing papers at home every day to prepare for the college entrance examination in half a year, perhaps an internship at Shengling Group was not a bad thing. After all, she was Mrs. Zuo. Perhaps she would only need to sit in front of a computer and play games every day after she arrived at the company. She would play games from work until she got off work, and then she would take Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car home. This way, she would be able to spend the next twenty days in a fulfilling and relaxed manner. I hope so, I hope so! Seeing that Lin Qing and Zuo Hancheng were very serious when they were discussing the business proposal, she did not want to disturb them. She thought about the remaining test papers and sighed¡­lt was better to leave it to fate¡­ Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t mention anything about Lin Qing arranging an internship for her that night. It was obvious that he had no intention of staying in front of the computer and reading the comments on Facebook like she did. He also seemed to be uninterested in Rongxue¡¯s ¡± hehe ¡® Anhao was sitting in front of her computer and reading the comments. She could not help but complain,¡± Which part of me looks like I¡¯m not even 18 years old?¡± Zuo Hancheng, who did not notice what she was looking at, came over and took the computer away from her and put it aside. ¡® Sigh, I haven¡¯t finished reading it yet. There are more than a million comments overnight, and it¡¯s still rising crazily. I¡¯ve only read a few thousand¡­¡± Anhao reached out to grab the laptop. As soon as she reached out, Zuo Hancheng grabbed her and pulled her out of the blanket. Anhao was only wearing her pajamas. Before she could protest, Zuo Hancheng had already leaned over her. Seeing the danger signal in his eyes, Anhao quickly raised her hand to push him away.¡±¡±No, no, I haven¡¯t rested well yet. My entire body is still sore and in pain. I can¡¯t handle it at all. Please let me go¡­¡± However, her pleas were useless. Zuo Hancheng patiently unbuttoned her pajamas and ignored all her resistance. When Anhao turned around and hid under the blanket, he scooped her out again. ¡°Ah, Zuo Hancheng, did you see those comments? They said that I¡¯m still a teenager, and you can¡¯t bully a teenager! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. Chapter 351 - Chapter 351: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (5) Chapter 351: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (5) Translator: 549690339 On the busiest street in A City, Anhao was holding two bags as she hailed a taxi by the roadside. However, it was almost the New Year and there were too many people on the street. It was difficult to hail a taxi. In the end, she had no choice but to turn around and head to the bus stop. In the morning, Lin Qing called her and told her that she could prepare today. She could start her internship in the company the day after tomorrow. Anhao was feeling uneasy as she considered the possibility of an internship as a high school student who had yet to graduate. Coupled with the fact that the women on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Facebook had said that she still looked like a child, she decided to buy two sets of professional attire to act mature. The weather in the coastal cities was really too capricious. It snowed during the New Year, but here, it had become sleet for several days. Anhao ran to the bus stop in a hurry. She was looking into the distance at the bus coming from there when her phone suddenly rang. Anhao frowned when she saw that the number was the Gu family¡¯s landline number. Ever since she took all her things from the Gu family with Zuo Hancheng that day, she no longer had any contact or connection with the Gu family. Since this call came from the Gu residence, they must have found Gu Shishi¡¯s matter troublesome and guessed that she was involved in Gu Shishi¡¯s kidnapping. Anhao didn¡¯t plan to pick up the call. She was about to get into the car when she saw the car approaching, but her phone kept ringing repeatedly. It was as if the phone was urging. She rolled her eyes, picked up the phone, and put it to her ear.¡±¡±lf you have something to say, say it quickly. I don¡¯t have the time to deal with you!¡± There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. She seemed to hear Gu Tianming¡¯s breathing freeze for a moment because of the atmosphere, but it was only a few seconds before he said, ¡°Are you the one who did Shishi¡¯s thing?¡± Anhao looked up at the people on the bus. The seats were full, and there were not many seats left. She took a step back, intending to sit on the next bus. She turned around and leaned against the billboard at the stop.¡±Mayor Gu, do you think I have the ability?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have the ability, but Zuo Hancheng definitely has the ability! Did you ask him to take revenge on our Gu family? You can tell me if you have any hatred or unwillingness. How could you do this to Shishi?!¡± Hearing Gu Tianming¡¯s voice, which was obviously extremely angry but was suppressed because he was afraid of offending her, Anhao snorted and said disapprovingly, ¡°Mayor Gu, I don¡¯t have the ability to do this. As for Zuo Hancheng, you can easily imagine that he does not have the time and energy to think about the Gu family¡¯s matters. Who do you think you are? Did Zuo Hancheng really have to go against you?¡± ¡® Don¡¯t give me that. Anhao, let me tell you. If anything happens to Shishi, we¡¯ll fight you even if we have to risk our entire family¡¯s lives. Also, about Anping¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about my mother. What kind of person she is, what happened to her, and what happened to her in the past are no longer important! No matter how much I respect her, no matter how unexpected some things are, I won¡¯t be led by the nose by you like that day when I first found out about it. He had thought that he would be able to find Anhao¡¯s weakness, but the result was completely beyond his imagination. Gu Tianming was obviously even more dissatisfied. ¡°Are you planning to completely fall out with the Gu family?¡± ¡°Hehe, I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve ever been on good terms with the Gu family. How can there be any talk of falling out?¡±Anhao sneered.¡± Mayor Gu, I almost forgot to tell you. Ever since I was threatened by you last time, I have installed an automatic voice recording software on my phone. Whether you want to threaten me or do something else, I have a record here. Every word will be sent directly to Zuo Hancheng. No matter what you want to do, he will know immediately.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t dare to do anything to you just because you have Zuo Hancheng as your backer. Zuo Hancheng is nothing more than a kid who just entered our domestic business world five years ago. He¡¯s young and has some achievements.¡± Gu Tianming said angrily,¡± Just in time. Tell him what I said exactly. Tell him that I, Gu Tianming, will be waiting for him in the City Hall. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that he arranged for someone to tamper with the layers of obstacles he has set up for me over the past few months. He¡¯s still too inexperienced to want to bring me down! I, Gu Tianming, have been in the political world for a few years longer than Zuo Hancheng! You don¡¯t have to be happy too early!¡± After saying that, Gu Tianming added coldly, ¡°I¡¯m warning you again. If anything happens to Shishi, Anhao, you and Zuo Hancheng better be careful. You might lose your life in your dreams one day!¡± ¡°Mayor Gu, who are you threatening?¡± Anhao laughed.¡± From what I know, not only is your daughter kidnapped, but the corruption case that you spent 80 million to suppress more than 10 years ago has been brought up again by the prosecutor¡¯s office for deliberation. You can¡¯t go to the city hall now, but you¡¯re suspended at home for observation. It won¡¯t be long before you¡¯ll be completely arrested. Do you really think I don¡¯t understand the powerful relationship between you two just because I¡¯m young?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°If you could threaten Zuo Hancheng, you wouldn¡¯t have been so scared when you saw him back then and called him Mr. Zuo like a grandson! Now you¡¯re here to scare me? Gu Tianming, you¡¯re indeed not my father. You don¡¯t even know what kind of personality I have in my bones. It just so happens that I¡¯m also very glad that I¡¯m not your daughter. I feel disgusted with your blood. Really, it¡¯s too disgusting!¡± ¡°You! Gu Anhao¡­ ¡°Shh, my name is Anhao. Before I walked into the Gu family, my surname was Anhao. I¡¯ll find time to update all my ID names. From now on, I have nothing to do with the word Gu. Gu Tianming, don¡¯t come and disgust me in the future!¡± After saying that, Anhao hung up the phone and turned around to get on the bus. The bus would reach Shengling Group in two more stops, and then Liujing Garden in another seven or eight stops. Anhao got off the car when she arrived at Shengling Group. Since she could be here for an internship tomorrow or the day after, even though it was only for 20 days, she was still excited and nervous when she suddenly faced an environment that was still unfamiliar to her. However, just as she got out of the car and was about to walk through the square in front of the company building, she suddenly saw a red Mercedes-Benz parked opposite. The most eye-catching thing was not the red Mercedes, but Mrs. Gu¡¯s alighting.. Chapter 352 - Chapter 352: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (6) Chapter 352: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao immediately turned around to avoid Mrs. Gu. She did not want to have a conflict in such a place. However, just as she turned to leave, Mrs. Gu¡¯s voice came from behind her. ¡°Anhao.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and rolled her eyes speechlessly. Ever since she entered the Gu family five years ago, ever since she first met Mrs. Gu, this woman had never spoken to her in such a gentle tone. She was always aloof, cold, and mocking, or she would praise him openly and criticize him secretly. She had never been truly amiable. However, at this moment, when Mrs. Gu called out to her, her voice was so gentle that it almost gave Anhao goosebumps. Mrs. Gu walked over directly.¡± I originally wanted to come here to meet President Zuo. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here. Is it convenient for you to find a place to have a cup of coffee and chat with me?¡±¡± Anhao looked at Mrs. Gu indifferently.¡±¡±lt¡¯s not convenient.¡± Mrs. Gut s expression stiffened, and she almost couldn¡¯t maintain the smile on her face. After a long while, she smiled and said,¡±Anhao, you¡¯re not a child anymore. I can¡¯t treat you like how I treated you when you were young.¡± ¡°Mrs. Gu, don¡¯t think too highly of yourself. I¡¯m not afraid of you.¡±Anhao smiled faintly.¡± I¡¯ve only been patient and ignored the Gu family for so many years. But no matter how many things have happened in the past, I¡¯ve never been afraid of you. Please don¡¯t flatter yourself.¡± As expected, Mrs. Gut s expression became more and more unstable. After a while, she sighed and smiled.¡±l know you hate me. After all these years, I know how you feel. Now that you¡¯ve already risen to the top, I¡¯m not surprised that you¡¯re turning around to trample on us. However, Anhao, it¡¯s not good for us to talk so much in public. I saw that the cafe next door is not bad. Shall we go in and chat?¡± Anhao glanced at the cafe and didn¡¯t say anything. She was still more or less on guard against Mrs. Gu. Who knew what the Gu family would do to save Gu Shishi? What if they wanted to kidnap her and force Zuo Hancheng to do it? However, this was the square in front of Shengling Group. She had been the topic of many people¡¯s discussion for the past two days. Moreover, she would be coming here for her internship in the next two days. It was indeed not good to have an argument with Mrs. Gu or stay here for too long. After a moment of silence, Anhao pointed at a restaurant across the street expressionlessly.¡±¡±Go there.¡± Mrs. Gu looked back at the restaurant and saw that Anhao was on guard against her. She didn¡¯t say much and only nodded slowly. seemg ner nod, Annao turned around and lett, but sne did not let ner guard down. From time to time, she would look back at the direction behind Mrs. Gu. There was no one or bodyguards following her. The red Mercedes-Benz was parked quietly by the roadside, and there seemed to be no one else in the car. After entering the restaurant, Anhao found a quieter seat and sat down. When Mrs. Gu came over, she didn¡¯t ask what she wanted to eat. She only ordered some drinks and some sushi-like food. She didn¡¯t even order a serving for Mrs. Seeing Anhao¡¯s attitude, even though Mrs. Gu felt humiliated and was very dissatisfied, she did not show it and tried her best to smile politely. It was only when Anhao was drinking her drink and smacking her lips that she asked the waiter to bring her a cup of special green plum wine. Seeing that she was planning to leave after eating her fill and did not want to talk about anything at all, Mrs. Gu hurriedly opened her mouth. ¡± Anhao, it¡¯s all my fault that you¡¯ve suffered in the Gu family for so many years. I¡¯ve always felt that your mother¡¯s existence has hurt me, and I also feel that your father, he¡­¡± ¡°Gu Tianming isn¡¯t my father.¡±Anhao, who had originally intended to ignore her, rolled her eyes at her indifferently. Mrs. Gu was silent for a while before nodding. ¡°Okay, it was Gu Tianming who did dirty things outside that made me sad, so I vented all my anger on you. After all, you¡¯re Anping¡¯s daughter. I hate your existence very much, so¡­¡± ¡°If Mrs. Gu is only here to tell me about those things from back then, then I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m not interested in those memories, and I don¡¯t have the time to sit here and listen to the broken relationship and family matters between you and your wife.¡± Anhao took the green plum wine from the waiter and poured it into a small glass. She said coldly,¡±¡±No one is willing to listen to those unpleasant past events. Besides, I¡¯m the one who¡¯s always been hurt. Do you think I¡¯ll be patient enough to listen?¡± ¡°Anhao, I just want to apologize to you.¡± Mrs. Gu maintained her smile.¡± ¡°Oh, apologize.¡± Anhao nodded and took a sip of the specialty green plum wine. The taste of this wine was very light, but the sour and sweet taste was very strong and delicious. As she drank, she glanced at the forbearance in Mrs. Gu¡¯s eyes.¡±What happens after you apologize? Do you want to hear my forgiveness?¡± Mrs. Gu hesitated for a moment and said softly,¡± If you can forgive me, Anhao, that would be great¡­¡± ¡°Haha.¡± Anhao sipped her wine with a faint smile. Suddenly, she unexpectedly splashed the bottle of wine on Mrs. Gut s face. Mrs. Gu was shocked! Even though she wanted to slap the table and scold Gu Anhao for not knowing what was good for her, as the mayor¡¯s wife, she held back. She looked at Anhao in disbelief, then hurriedly picked up the tissue on the table and started wiping the wine stains on her face and body. Anhao continued to sip the remaining green plum wine in her small cup. As she sipped, she said nonchalantly,¡¯¡±¡® Broken ribs can be reconnected, the external wounds on the body can be healed bit by bit, the trauma in the heart and the inferiority that has been instilled into the heart can also be corrected. After being humiliated for five years, you can still rely on your strong endurance to survive until today. However, Mrs. Gu, you don¡¯t deserve to be forgiven. You really don¡¯t deserve it.¡± Anhao put down the cup as she spoke. She looked coldly at Mrs. Gu¡¯s expression that was almost unbearable.¡± Even if I, Gu Anhao, were to sit here and say that I forgive you foolishly, Gu Shishi would not be released. After all, she was not kidnapped by me or Zuo Hancheng. If you have the time to think of a way to convince me, why don¡¯t you think about who Gu Tianming has offended in the past few decades?¡± ¡°Shishi was intercepted on her way to the art academy for a last-minute tutoring session. The surveillance equipment on that road was damaged, and it happened a few days after you left the Gu family. Do you dare to say that this isn¡¯t you and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s revenge on the Gu family?¡±Mrs. Gu frowned. She could no longer maintain her fake politeness. ¡°It seems that you and your wife are really apart on the surface. Gu Tianming just called to question me, but you drove out at the same time to find this place. In the end, you asked the same question, but you were actually just as stupid. ¡± Hearing this, Mrs. Gu¡¯s face turned pale.. Chapter 353 - Chapter 353: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (7) Chapter 353: Love Is the Superstition of Time and Place (7) Translator: 549690339 Anhao picked up a piece of Sushi, took a bite, and said with a laugh,¡±¡±You can doubt me however you want. Anyway, even if you kneel down now, I won¡¯t be able to find Gu Shishi. ¡°Shishi really wasn¡¯t sent by Zuo Hancheng¡­ ¡°Mrs. Gu.¡± ¡°What kind of person do you think Zuo Hancheng is?¡± Anhao interrupted her coldly.¡± Mrs. Gu was momentarily stumped by the question. She could not help but pause for a moment before frowning. It was obvious that she was not sure if Anhao was telling the truth. ¡® It doesn¡¯t matter if you guys did it or not. Anhao, I¡¯m sincerely sorry from the perspective of the Gu family. Regarding what happened over the past few years, I¡­¡± ¡°Hey, don¡¯t.¡± Anhao raised her hand to stop her.¡± Don¡¯t say that in front of me. You should know what kind of person I am. You might as well continue to stab me with those words. I can endure pain, but I can¡¯t stand disgust.¡±¡® As she said that, Anhao quickly took another bite of her sushi and raised her eyebrows.¡±lf you want to curry favor with Shengling Group and let Gu Tianming gain a firm foothold in the business and political circles of these coastal cities, it won¡¯t be resolved by just an apology from you in front of me. I advise you to go home and discuss with your husband about how to save her. Don¡¯t try to get me and Zuo Hancheng involved. We don¡¯t have time to entertain you.¡± ¡°Anhao, you¡­¡± Anhao sneered, Mrs. Gu, it¡¯s already good enough that I didn¡¯t burn down the Gu family¡¯s old mansion because of my relationship with Zuo Hancheng. Please don¡¯t anger me. I used to be a person who could eat and feed my whole family. I had planned to die together with you if I was angered by you one day. Now that I have Zuo Hancheng behind me, I certainly won¡¯t mind the power of the Gu family. So, please, don¡¯t, appear, in front of, me.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Anhao suddenly put down the small cup in her hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up into an extremely cold smile. Mrs. Gut s expression became uglier and uglier. It was obvious that she could not take it anymore. Seeing that Anhao had already said so much, she suddenly put down the bag in her hand and was about to speak solemnly. However, Anhao¡¯s expression suddenly changed and she looked behind Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu¡¯s seat was facing away from the entrance of the restaurant. Anhao was secretly surprised when she saw the figure walking in. However, before Mrs. Gu could turn around, she saw Zuo Hancheng suddenly walk over from behind her and stand beside Anhao. Anhao ignored the shock in Mrs. Gu¡¯s eyes and raised her head in surprise to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s slightly cold expression.¡±Why are you here?¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth. Anhao was stunned and heard his clear voice.¡±Drinking?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s just a glass of green plum wine.¡± Anhao said awkwardly, ¡°¡±How did you get here?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to know.¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her shoulder lightly and glanced back at Mrs. Gu, who looked a little embarrassed. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on Mrs. Gu calmly. With one hand in his pocket, his gaze was cold and indifferent, but he looked so calm as if Gu Shishi¡¯s matter really had nothing to do with someone like him. However, Mrs. Gu had been in politics with her husband for so many years. She could see through all kinds of shrewd people and difficult people. It was the same now. The more quiet this Left-hand City was, the harder it was to deal with him. She felt that he must have something to do with Shishi¡¯s matter. However, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng did not reveal any flaws. The recording pen that she had prepared in her bag was useless. ¡°Mister Zuo, you have taken the time to come down here to meet me. It seems that I have indeed troubled you a lot. ¡°Mrs. Gu composed herself and smiled.¡± It¡¯s just about my daughter, Shishi. I hope Mr. Zuo can let her go. Shishi hasn¡¯t even graduated from university. Even though she¡¯s usually rude and rude, this is only a problem with our education. If there¡¯s anything, just come and tell us. Please don¡¯t hurt Shishi¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes did not move. His voice was cold and calm.¡±lf I¡¯m not wrong, Anhao should have already explained the situation to you. If anything happened to your daughter, it has nothing to do with us. If Mrs. Gu was suspicious, she could have asked the public security department to take action. Why did she have to go to Shengling Building alone to intercept Anhao?¡± Mrs. Gu¡¯s expression froze. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng, who was not present, to hit the nail on the head. Anhao was also secretly shocked. It turned out that Mrs. Gu had not come here to cause trouble for Zuo Hancheng. Instead, she had come here to wait for her because she was not at A High School during the holidays and she did not know where to find her anywhere else. Or had he been following her? Anhao¡¯s gaze instantly fell on Madam Gut s face. Madam Gu¡¯s expression froze for a moment before it turned ugly. However, she held her bag tightly. ¡°Anhao, even if you don¡¯t have any feelings for the Gu family, fate is important between people. Shishi and I have indeed let you down for so many years, but you¡¯re a magnanimous person. On account of knowing Shishi for so many years, let her go¡­¡¯ Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows slightly. He was obviously unhappy that Mrs. Gu was using such a non-existent emotional card to oppress Anhao. He looked at Mrs. Gu coldly, but Anhao suddenly raised her hand to hold his hand and spoke first. She pressed down on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand to stop him from speaking up for her. She stared at Mrs. Gu and sneered,¡±¡±Mrs. Gu is really shameless! It seems that Gu Shishi¡¯s abilities were indeed learned from her powerful mother!¡± Mrs. Gu frowned secretly. ¡°I only have one question for you.¡± Anhao looked at her with a fake smile.¡±¡±When I was five years old, I was kidnapped because of your Gu family. Do you know?¡± Mrs. Gut s eyes trembled and she looked up at Anhao. Anhao saw her expression. Although Mrs. Gu hid it very well, the surprise in that moment just now was still obvious in her eyes. She scoffed and said,¡± I was kidnapped for your daughter, Gu Shishi, when I was five years old. However, the Gu family deliberately revealed my existence as an illegitimate daughter to the underworld.. Didn¡¯t they want me to be a scapegoat?¡± Now that they¡¯ve found Gu Tianming¡¯s biological daughter, what do you think they¡¯ll do?¡± Chapter 354 - Chapter 354: Love Is a Superstition of Time and Place (8) Chapter 354: Love Is a Superstition of Time and Place (8) Translator: 549690339 Seeing Mrs. Gu¡¯s face gradually turn pale, Anhao¡¯s smile turned colder. ¡°Mrs. Gu, I won¡¯t help you. Humans had a price to pay for living in this world. There was a saying that good and evil would be rewarded, and the heavens were good at reincarnation. If you didn¡¯t believe it, look up and see who the heavens spared!¡± Mrs. Gu suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Mister Zuo, are you sure you know this ruthless little girl beside you? Did you see that? Anhao is not only ruthless, but also¡­¡± ¡°Mrs. Gu, if you have the time to sit here and try to break up the relationship between us husband and wife, why don¡¯t you contact the police earlier to search for the whereabouts of the kidnapped person?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold, and there was a mocking and polite smile on his face. Mrs. Gu choked on her words. ¡°Does Mrs. Gu think that all men like the Virgin Mary? Do I have to complain to stand in the world? I¡¯m willing to watch from the sidelines, I¡¯m willing to applaud at this time, I¡¯m willing to be ruthless. I¡¯m already giving face to my dead mother by not sprinkling salt on your wounds, so stop using morality to bind me in front of me.¡¯ Anhao didn¡¯t give her any face, so she simply said,¡±¡±Do you think that I¡¯m pretending to be innocent and kind every day to gain sympathy when I¡¯m with Zuo Hancheng? He wanted to use this method to drive a wedge between people? Mrs. Gu, why are you still so childish at your age?¡± Anhao¡¯s verbal attacks were like a machine gun, making Mrs. Gu¡¯s face look more and more uncomfortable. Zuo Hancheng was really indulging Anhao. No matter what she said, his lips would curl up slightly. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with her merciless attitude. Seeing that she could not gain any benefits here, Mrs. Gu picked up her bag. She did not get angry or smile and said indifferently,¡±Since that¡¯s the case, we don¡¯t have much to talk about. Then, I¡¯ll take my leave.¡± After saying that, she maintained her pride and dignity and turned to leave. Anhao picked up a glass of green plum wine that the waiter had just refilled for her. As she drank, she smiled and waved her hand.¡±Take care.¡± Mrs. Gu pretended not to hear Anhao¡¯s sarcasm and quickly walked out. Seeing that Mrs. Gu¡¯s figure had gone far away, Anhao felt bored and was about to continue sipping her wine. However, when she looked up, she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a gentle gaze¡­And the small wine glass in her hand. Anhao quickly put down the small cup and explained, ¡®¡±¡®There really isn¡¯t much alcohol in this. Most of the alcohol in this Japanese restaurant is plum wine. You should know that. You won¡¯t get drunk if you drink a few mouthfuls of this thing¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything and gave her a warning look. It was obvious that he did not want her to drink too much of this wine. Alright then. Anhao obediently spread her hands.¡± I¡¯m not drinking anymore. I just wanted to drink a few mouthfuls to liven up the atmosphere. After all, that old witch who bullied me since I was young suddenly treated me with such an attitude today. If I don¡¯t take revenge, I really think I¡¯ll regret it for the rest of my life if I miss this opportunity¡­¡± ¡°Just provoke her with a few words. Don¡¯t forget that Gu Tianming is still sitting in the mayor¡¯s position for the time being. Even a dog will jump over a wall when it¡¯s anxious. Don¡¯t put yourself in invisible danger because of a few words of anger.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he called for the waiter to settle the bill. When he left the restaurant with Anhao, he was still lecturing her, ¡°¡±Since we¡¯ve already started, I¡¯ll handle everything that goes against the Gu family in the future. You don¡¯t have to come forward.¡¯ Anhao could tell that he was trying to protect her. Even though she was a little unhappy to hear him reprimand her, she still walked over to him with a smile and took the initiative to hold his arm. ¡°Then, Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re spoiling me and protecting me like this. I¡¯m really going to stick to you.¡± The little girl was so brazen when she acted coquettishly, even in the square in front of Shengling Group. Zuo Hancheng did not seem to mind. He looked down at the bag in her hand and said,¡±¡±What did you buy?¡± ¡°Business attire. Didn¡¯t you and Lin Qing ask me to come here for an internship tomorrow or the day after? I can¡¯t dress too much, so I specially bought two sets of business attire for the office. Look, even if I¡¯m not willing to come for an internship, I¡¯m still very cooperative with you.¡± Anhao¡¯s face was full of praise, but Zuo Hancheng glanced at the things in her handbag and said meaningfully,¡±¡±You can only wear this kind of costume for me to see at home. It shouldn¡¯t be used here.¡± ¡°Why not? I think Lin Qing and the other female secretaries, female assistants, and female supervisors around you are all wearing this kind of clothes. It¡¯s sexy, mature, and good-looking! How could such an OL style be seductive? I bought a very orthodox one, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her again, but he did not dampen her excitement.¡±¡±Have you eaten anything for lunch?¡± Anhao looked at the time and realized that it was already noon. No wonder Zuo Hancheng suddenly came down from the office. He must have seen her and Mrs. Gu when he came out at noon. ¡°I just ate a few pieces of sushi at the restaurant. ¡°¡±What?¡± Anhao pulled his arm.Are you treating me to something again? I saw a new dumpling restaurant over there when I was on the bus just now. Since it¡¯s going to be the new year soon, let¡¯s go eat dumplings Anhao¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard about food, as if she had forgotten about the whole plate of sushi. Zuo Hancheng sighed and held her hand. When Anhao turned around and looked at him in confusion, he smiled.¡±¡±l¡¯ll go get the car.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s only two stops by bus. The traffic jam around here has been so serious recently.¡± Anhao tugged at his hand again.¡± Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll treat you to the bus.¡± After saying that, she dragged Zuo Hancheng straight to the bus stop not far away. When they arrived at the bus stop, Anhao imitated the plot she had read in novels and took out two coins and handed them to Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Then, you must have never taken a bus before, right? You have to put in a coin to take the bus. Some cities charge one yuan, while others charge two yuan. It can¡¯t be helped. The bus line opposite your company is too popular. Everyone needs two yuan to take it.¡± Anhao explained patiently as she looked at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Are you nervous about taking the bus for the first time? Don¡¯t be nervous. If there aren¡¯t any seats, the two of us will just stand. Anyway, we¡¯ll arrive in two stops. It¡¯ll only take five or six minutes¡­ Anhao kept blabbering as she paid attention to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. Initially, she wanted to see a curious look on his face. However, when the bus stopped in front of them, Zuo Hancheng walked up to her and threw in the coins in a familiar manner.. She didn¡¯t need to do anything at all! Chapter 355 - Chapter 355: It’s Most convenient in the Office (1) Chapter 355: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (1) Translator: 549690339 Ann was stunned. Zuo Hancheng actually took the bus? This was illogical! Shouldn¡¯t the CEO in novels be someone who despised public transport or had never taken it before? Why did this person in front of him not seem to play by the rules? Anhao hopped onto the bus, but because she was too anxious to catch up with Zuo Hancheng, she forgot to put in her own coin. It was not until the driver stopped her sternly that she suddenly turned around to look at the coin box. She felt around her body. Damn it, she had just given the last two change to Zuo Hancheng. She smiled awkwardly at the driver.¡±¡±l don¡¯t have any change¡­¡± The chauffeur immediately looked at her impatiently. Anhao had no choice but to turn around and look at Zuo Hancheng, who had already walked inside, for help. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a half-smile. He turned around and took two coins from a young man beside him and placed them into the coin box. Anhao looked at him in surprise. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had gone inside again, she could only follow him quickly. There were a lot of people in the car. There were indeed no seats left, but the young men who had lent him money just now gave them some space to try not to squeeze in. Anhao felt that it was strange. She stood beside Zuo Hancheng and asked softly,¡¯¡±¡®How can you borrow money from the car so easily?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. When the car suddenly braked, he held her up and held her in his arms. His other hand was on the armrest of the car.¡±Only you, Gu Anhao, would be so stupid.¡± ¡°Who said stupid?¡± Anhao raised her eyes and glared at him. Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and did not argue with her. As the bus continued to move at a steady speed, he hugged her and whispered,¡±¡±Are you sure you want to take the bus with me in the future?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Anhao looked up and suddenly asked curiously,¡±¡±But why are you so familiar with this place? Shouldn¡¯t a person like you, who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth, be sent to and from various cars since you were young?¡± Zuo Hancheng rolled his eyes at her, as if he was mocking her for being vulgar. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± ¡± Before I was 18 years old, I was in the financial analysis and investment industry alone on Wall Street. At that time, I hadn¡¯t officially taken over Shengling Group. Grandpa didn¡¯t allow me to go out alone to make my own career, and he once threw a tantrum with me.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang softly in her ears. ¡± I was young and hot-headed at that time. I firmly believed that I could make a name for myself without relying on the Zuo family, so I stubbornly lived outside. Although I didn¡¯t have to live in poverty, my residence wasn¡¯t far from the office in Wall Street, so I usually took the nearby bus to work.¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her shoulder as he said,¡±¡±l was born in the Zuo family, not a monster. I¡¯ve never even taken a bus before. Anhao recalled that Zuo Hancheng had once told her that he had lived alone when he was studying abroad. That was why he had learned to take care of himself and was a good cook. The mysterious Boss Zuo in the eyes of others was actually such a homely and down-to-earth man. Perhaps only she and the Zuo family knew about it. However this man. She was clearly only talking about what happened when he was in his teens, and her tone was very calm and normal, but why did she feel that his entire body was shining recently? Anhao couldn¡¯t help but lean into his arms, her entire body leaning against his body to stabilize herself. She took the opportunity to hug his waist with both hands and whispered in his arms, ¡°¡±Why don¡¯t we take the bus more often in the future, especially on this route? There are so many people and it¡¯s crowded. It¡¯s just nice to show our love this way¡­¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, the bus had already stopped at the first stop. The few young men who had just taken two coins and handed them to Zuo Hancheng walked to the back door and said politely to Zuo Hancheng,¡±¡±President Zuo, we¡¯re getting out of the car.¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded lightly at them. Anhao immediately turned to look at the young men. She saw them nodding and smiling politely at Zuo Hancheng before they got out of the car. They looked like they were nervous and excited when they saw their boss up close for the first time. Then, Anhao came back to her senses. That¡¯s right, this was the main bus route opposite Shengling Group. It was the company¡¯s lunch break, so there must be some employees of their company on this bus. So he had deliberately seen her embarrass herself and borrowed two coins from the anxious and excited employee beside him to help her out? Damn it, the CEO has special privileges. He won¡¯t suffer any losses no matter where he goes! ¡°Do you need to pay them back?¡±When the car door was closed, Anhao was still leaning in his arms and asked casually. ¡°Seeing that they reacted fairly quickly just now, I used my rare privilege to add a few hundred yuan to their salary and give them two chances to take the exam again at the beginning of the year.¡± After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he chuckled in her ear.¡±¡±Are you satisfied?¡± Of course! Seeing the CEO willfully exchange a few hundred yuan for two yuan, she would never experience this kind of rich willfulness in her life, okay? Sure enough, following Zuo Hancheng would bring them meat to eat, and it would also satisfy the vanity of all kinds of young girls. There should be a few Shengling employees in the car. Occasionally, a few people would quietly look back at them, but when their eyes turned, they quickly looked away, afraid that the big BOSS would be unhappy. It was not until the next stop when Anhao and Zuo Hancheng got off the bus that the female employees started whispering to each other. ¡°Oh my god, President Zuo is actually taking the bus!¡± ¡® This is the first time I¡¯ve seen President Zuo up close. He¡¯s so handsome! Ahhh, my heart is about to jump out of my chest¡­¡± ¡°Who is that woman?¡± ¡°She seems to be the girl in the photo that President Zuo posted on his Facebook. Didn¡¯t President Zuo say that she was his wife? Oh my god, we¡¯ve bumped into the real person today¡­¡± ¡± I¡¯m so jealous. President Zuo is so handsome. I¡¯ve only seen him in the company¡¯s conference videos or in the group¡¯s videos before. How could employees of our level have the chance to see President Zuo so close? In the end, we actually met him on the bus today. Oh my god, oh my god¡­¡± Of course, Anhao did not hear the voices of the female employees in the car, but she could feel that many people were looking at them after they got out of the car. It was impossible to keep a low profile by following a man like Zuo Hancheng. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet your company¡¯s employees on the bus. What if I meet them when I come here for my internship tomorrow? Will it be awkward?¡± she asked as she walked. Zuo Hancheng did not think much of it.¡± Don¡¯t worry. Shengling Group has tens of millions of employees. There are more than 30,000 employees in the headquarters building alone. You won¡¯t meet these people so coincidentally. Usually, every department doesn¡¯t have too many opportunities to interact with them. After all, each department has its own responsibilities and secrets..¡± Chapter 356 - Chapter 356: It’s Most convenient in the Office (2) Chapter 356: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No matter what, I think it¡¯s better for me to keep a low profile. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be ostracized too easily.¡± Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng was a shining figure wherever he went. Recently, a lot of people were talking about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Anhao had heard two young ladies discussing it on the way. Zuo Hancheng of Shengling Group was actually married. Oh my god, their most eligible bachelor, Nan Bowan, was actually married! Who was that woman? How could she be so capable that Zuo Hancheng took a fancy to her? Could it be a family marriage or something? Could it be that Zuo Hancheng did not like her at all? In short, there were all kinds of speculations and discussions. However, Anhao was wearing pajamas that night. Her hair was unkempt and dirty. Although she looked natural and dreamy under the dim light, it was still different from her usual clothes. She only needed to tie her hair up, wear two earrings, and put on a little plain makeup, and she would not be recognized so easily. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was also cruelly training her endurance and ability to withstand pressure. Now, the Internet was full of praises, suspicions, and sour curses about her. The search index of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife directly overshadowed Rong Xue, who had recently become popular in the domestic media. The next morning, as usual, he planned to sleep until ten o¡¯clock before waking up. However, when he turned around, he saw Zuo Hancheng walking over in a neat and tidy manner. ¡°Shengling Group¡¯s employee code has a very strict demerit punishment system for being late. Are you sure you want to be late on the first day?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the time and his eyes fell on her sleepy eyes. Last night, Anhao even swore that since she had to go for an internship, she had to perform well and strive to be recorded by the human resources department during the internship. This way, she could guarantee that she would score more points during the college entrance examination. But now, she was so sleepy that she squinted her eyes and groaned. She wanted to beg Zuo Hancheng for mercy and say that she would sleep in for another day and go tomorrow. Before she could finish, Zuo Hancheng had already walked out without looking back, not giving her a chance to be coquettish and lazy. This bastard¡­ Anhao sat up unwillingly and hit the pillow behind her twice. After venting her anger, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed to wash up. When she was done packing and walked to the door, Zuo Hancheng opened the door and walked in. He saw Anhao dressed in a khaki business suit. Her hair was tied up in a simple bun, making her look more feminine than usual. She also had light nude makeup on her face, which was rare. Zuo Yue had bought those cosmetics and skincare products for her when she was in America. Since she was planning to go to the company to do an internship, putting on some simple makeup was indeed the most basic quality and courtesy in the high-end workplace. This was very good. It seemed that she was indeed prepared to work hard in Shengling Group for the next 20 days. Anhao was waving her newly bought bag in front of Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±How is it? Was he very mature? Do you feel like you¡¯ve turned into a real person?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes swept across her body calmly. Finally, his eyebrows moved slightly.¡±Going for an internship isn¡¯t like a runway show. There¡¯s no need for a big transformation. But why are you wearing these glasses? You¡¯re not nearsighted.¡± Anhao raised her hand and pushed up the pair of glasses on her nose bridge. She had bought these glasses when she went to the Construction Bureau to help Zuo Hancheng deliver the documents last time. She had only put them on today because she wanted to look more elegant. ¡°There¡¯s no prescription on these lenses. They just look like short-sighted glasses.¡±Anhao pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.¡±This way, I¡¯ll look more low-key so that I won¡¯t be recognized as soon as I enter the company. After all, when I went to your company for tutoring previously, even if only the front desk staff and a few fixed people knew me, I¡¯m still considered a temporary internet celebrity now. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be smashed with eggs by your admirers the moment you enter the company¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and took off her glasses casually. He took a look and confirmed that it was just a flat lens. He didn¡¯t wear any lenses and it wouldn¡¯t hurt her eyes. He then put it back into her hands.¡±You can do whatever you want, but I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to use your clothes.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Anhao was surprised.¡± I see that all the female employees in your company are wearing all kinds of high-end business attire. Even the female receptionist at the front desk is wearing the latest Givenchy suit. I happened to see it in a magazine the other day and recognized that brand. It¡¯s too beautiful, but it¡¯s a little expensive.¡±¡± Anhao sighed as she spoke.¡± Even the female receptionists in your company are wearing such high-end and luxurious clothes. I¡¯m really curious how much their salary is¡­¡± It was already too late. Zuo Hancheng did not listen to her nonsense anymore and turned around to leave. Anhao hurriedly grabbed her bag and jogged after him. After the car drove out of Liu Jing Garden, Anhao suddenly looked at her feet and suddenly remembered something.¡±¡±l¡¯m wearing professional attire, but I¡¯m wearing sneakers. Is it awkward?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± It¡¯s not awkward. It suits you.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind his words. She only glanced at him strangely and sat upright in the car, waiting to go to work for her internship. She had thought that she would be able to take the special elevator with Zuo Hancheng as usual. As a result, Lin Qing was already waiting for him the moment he entered the company. After greeting Zuo Hancheng respectfully, Lin Qing told him about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s schedule for the day. What routine Wednesday morning high-level meeting, the afternoon meeting between XX company and XX people, the visit of the chairman of XX Group at 3 o¡¯clock, and the evening charity dinner¡­ In short, this was the first time Anhao had followed Zuo Hancheng to the company when he had just started work. It was also the first time she had seen Lin Qing walking behind Zuo Hancheng and saying these words quickly. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps were not as slow as usual. It was the first time she had seen him with such a serious and decisive attitude. Just as Anhao followed them to the elevator, Lin Qing suddenly stopped and called out to her,¡±¡±Miss Gu, the legal representative of the Hua Corporation is waiting for President Zuo in the president¡¯s office. It¡¯s not convenient for you to go up now, so I¡¯ll take you to the human resources department.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks at the same time. When she saw Zuo Hancheng enter the elevator, he only glanced in her direction. A meaningful smile appeared on his cold and calm face when he faced his subordinates. However, it was only for a moment before the elevator door closed, cutting off their line of sight. Anhao stared at the elevator door in front of her. She had been confident that she could handle it since it was just an internship. But now, she was actually a little flustered! Didn¡¯t she come here for an internship to follow Zuo Hancheng? He still had to report to the Human Resources Department? This was business, not leaving any personal feelings for her, bastard! Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: It’s Most convenient in the Office (3) Chapter 357: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (3) Translator: 549690339 Although Lin Qing was still polite to Anhao, he still sent her to the HR department in a business-like manner. He did not tell them about her relationship with Zuo Hancheng and only said that she was a temporary intern. He had already given them the information yesterday. Lin Qing left right after he finished handing over Anhao¡¯s matters. When he walked out of the door of the HR department, he secretly turned back to take a look. Although Anhao wasn¡¯t used to the company¡¯s atmosphere, she still stood there and talked to the HR director without changing her expression. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh and laugh. She remembered President Zuo¡¯s instructions to not show favoritism, to not talk about old relationships, to not consider him, and to not care about Anhao¡¯s face. Only a real workplace could let a twenty-year-old girl learn what she needed to learn in just twenty days. Even if he started from the bottom, it was the most realistic experience. Since President Zuo wanted Anhao to be trained these days, she couldn¡¯t reveal too much. She could only leave her to the HR department and run away quickly, in case Anhao came to settle the score with her. At this moment, Anhao, who was in the office, saw the HR director¡¯s calm expression and walked over.¡±¡±Am I coming to work today?¡± The head of the HR department was looking at her information on the computer. At the same time, he turned his head and said a few words to the colleague beside him expressionlessly, as if he didn¡¯t take Anhao¡¯s existence seriously at all. Anhao pursed her lips. If it was in school, she would have already grabbed someone¡¯s ear and questioned him. Why couldn¡¯t he listen to what she said? Are you courting death? Why are you pretending to be deaf? But now, she endured it and kept smiling. The director then chatted with the colleague beside him about other things. After a few minutes, he seemed to have remembered Anhao¡¯s existence. He turned back to look at her again and asked with some disdain, ¡°How old are you?¡± ¡°Twenty years old is one year old.¡± Anhao replied. The HR director frowned and looked at her information again.¡±Since you haven¡¯t even graduated from high school and haven¡¯t even gone to college, how can you get an internship in Shengling? What background do you have?¡± Anhao opened her innocent eyes and smiled at the HR director.¡±Just take it that Lin Qing helped me open the back door.¡± ¡°No matter how capable Secretary Lin is, she won¡¯t be able to put you in. Do you think anyone can enter Shengling Group? Moreover, it was this kind of young child who did not have a diploma or work experience. He did not know if he was here for an internship or to play.¡± The head of the human resources department was obviously dissatisfied with her age, but she had already been arranged to come in, and Secretary Lin had brought her here personally. He could not refuse. After carefully reading her information, he said, ¡°There are no positions in the company that are suitable for you right now. Moreover, with your qualifications and age, it is impossible for you to be competent for too many jobs. No matter how strong your background is, it is impossible to give you an important position. Moreover, you are only here for an internship for 20 days.¡± Hearing the director¡¯s words, Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡±¡±So?¡± ¡°So¡­¡± The director looked up at Anhao.¡±Secretary Lin is in such a hurry to put you in. There really isn¡¯t any position suitable for you at the moment. Even the position of a small assistant is for all kinds of international students who have returned from abroad. Despite being mocked, Anhao still raised her eyebrows without batting an eyelid. She looked at the HR director with a half-smile. She didn¡¯t believe that she could chase her away. Of course, it would be best if he could chase her away. It would be a slap to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, and she would have a reason not to come to the internship! ¡°So¡­¡±The HR director was not displeased by her provocation at all. He just looked at her expressionlessly and said to the person beside him,¡±Send her to the logistics department on the third floor. It can be considered a temporary position. After all, it¡¯s only twenty days. There¡¯s no need to prepare any performance forms.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly turned round.¡±¡±Logistics¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, the HR staff stood up and smiled politely at Anhao.¡±¡±Follow me.¡± Anhao glanced at the HR director again, but he was no longer looking at her. Even if she glared at him, she couldn¡¯t catch the anger in her eyes. Logistics Department! It was actually the logistics department! As she followed the man, she glanced at her clothes. No wonder Zuo Hancheng said that she would not need her clothes and would only wear them at home for him to see! Could it be that he knew the rules and regulations of the employees in Shengling Group, knew that she could not sit in the office as a person who had not even gone to university, and knew that she would be assigned to the logistics department? That was why he gave her that unfathomable look in the elevator just now! What was the logistics department? The logistics department was the lowest level department in a company. Although the logistics department of Shengling Group was also full and crowded, it was not as crowded as she had imagined. Instead, there were many women in their twenties and thirties wearing work clothes. Anhao was a little confused at that time. Wasn¡¯t this just a place to clean up, serve tea, and provide convenience for all kinds of staff in various departments? There were actually so many young people? Moreover, all of them looked the same, as if their eyes had grown to the top of their heads¡­ When she was assigned to the logistics department, the person from the human resources department who accompanied her said,¡± Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m mistreating you by letting you work in the logistics department. The average monthly salary of every employee in the logistics department of Shengling Group is 7,000 to 8,000 or even 10,000 yuan. Moreover, the company has all kinds of good benefits. Some people may not be able to squeeze in even if they have education and connections. You¡¯re only here for an internship for 20 days. It¡¯s already not bad to let you work in the logistics department.¡± Anhao chuckled. Anyway, she was a person who went with the flow. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng was deliberately making things difficult for her. It had nothing to do with these employees, so after she sent the person from the human resources department away, she stood at the entrance of the logistics department and called Zuo Hancheng. After calling twice, no one picked up. She recalled that Lin Qing had mentioned that Zuo Hancheng was in the office discussing something. He was either in the middle of a discussion or in a meeting. It was obvious that he wanted to treat her as an employee in the company! Mrs. Zuo¡¯s treatment could only be shown when she was at home or even in bed! Anhao gritted her teeth and sent a message to Zuo Hancheng angrily. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, just you wait!¡± On the top floor of the corporation building, in the CEO¡¯s office. Zuo Hancheng was discussing the latest cooperation plan with the chairman and legal representative of Huaxin Organization. After ignoring Anhao¡¯s two calls, he saw the contents of the text message displayed on his phone screen. He remained silent, but the corners of his mouth gradually turned into a smile.. Chapter 358 - Chapter 358: It’s Most convenient in the Office (4) Chapter 358: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (4) Translator: 549690339 Damn, the logistics department¡¯s uniform is so ugly! It actually looked similar to her high school uniform. After wearing it, she looked like a little girl who washed the floor! There was also a badge on his chest with the words ¡°Logistics Department Intern¡± written on it. It was really ugly! What a pity for the two sets she had bought previously! The most important thing was to feel sorry for her silver! Anhao helplessly took over all the things she needed for her work. She realized that although she was in the logistics department, she had also been assigned a seat and a computer. She didn¡¯t expect that a big company would be so technologically advanced. Which floor needed cleaning, which department needed them to do something, and where there was a need for the logistics department to work, they would all receive notifications and records on the computer. After Anhao changed into her work clothes and returned to the logistics department office, she realized that some people didn¡¯t wear work clothes at all, especially those young and beautiful girls in their twenties. They only put their work clothes on the chairs and wore them when they needed to. Other times, they were dressed beautifully. Some of them were even sitting at their desks and in front of their computers, applying powder to their faces. Tsk, how good was she at self-hypnosis to treat the logistics department as a secretary¡¯s office? Who was she dressing up for? ¡°You, new here?¡± A coquettish girl beside her wiped her lip gloss as she turned her head and glanced at her. Anhao glanced at her and didn¡¯t say anything. She, Gu Anhao, really didn¡¯t have the habit of smiling whenever she saw anyone, except when it was necessary. Besides, this lady beside her already had a lot of makeup on, alright? Still touching up her makeup? You can sweep the floor and make coffee in the logistics department and still look so beautiful. Why don¡¯t you wear a dress to clean the toilet? Seeing that Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, the girl turned her head away and ignored her. After touching up her makeup, she turned back to the other girl who had just entered the door and said,¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s my turn to clean the top floor today, right?¡± The girl who had just entered glanced at the record sheet in her hand.¡±¡±lt¡¯s not you. The manager has placed Gu Anhao, who just arrived today, in front of you. She¡¯s in charge of the top floor today.¡± As she spoke, the girl looked at the person with heavy makeup and rolled her eyes.¡±Lin Lin, why do you dress up like a butterfly every time it¡¯s your turn to go to the top floor? I already told you that you won¡¯t have a chance to meet President Zuo. Even if you do, you might not be the type that he likes. Do you have to work so hard?¡± Lin Lin didn¡¯t answer, but she suddenly turned around and glared at Anhao with dissatisfaction.¡±¡±She¡¯s Gu Anhao? Why did you suddenly put her in front of me? I¡¯ve been waiting to go to the top floor once a month, and now I¡¯ve finally seen someone cut the line! Is the manager trying to throw up on me on purpose?¡± The girl who walked in with the record sheet rolled her eyes at Lin Lin again.¡±Don¡¯t bully the newbie. Anhao is only here for an internship. She¡¯ll leave after a few days. Besides, she¡¯s six years younger than you.¡± When he heard the child¡¯s words, the corners of his mouth twitched. He had been too lazy to interrupt. Lin Lin was annoyed and rolled her eyes at Anhao,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t she just arrive today? Our company doesn¡¯t clean manually. She shouldn¡¯t know how to operate those professional cleaning equipment and tools, right? He wanted her to go to the top floor just like that? If something goes wrong or we don¡¯t clean it up properly, it will affect our entire logistics department¡¯s performance this month and¡­¡¯ ¡°Secretary Lin specifically asked her to go. Do you have a problem with that?¡± ¡°..¡±Lin Lin immediately shut her mouth and sat on the chair angrily. She turned around and rolled her eyes at Anhao.¡±What right do you have to cut in front of me? How annoying!¡± Anhao looked at Linlin with one hand supporting her chin, then looked at the girl at the door. Seeing the words ¡± Logistics Team Leader ¡± written on her badge, she didn¡¯t say anything else. When the team leader walked over, she said, saw the detailed operation of the cleaning equipment on the computer just now. It¡¯s quite simple.¡± The team leader immediately smiled.¡± Alright, you can go up directly in a while. President Zuo will meet with many leaders of other companies on the top floor today. You must ensure that there are no problems with the scope of your work.¡± Anhao nodded, feeling that this team leader was quite easy to get along with. Lin Lin rolled her eyes again and said sarcastically, ¡°You¡¯re afraid that something will go wrong and you still let her go up? If we offend President Zuo, we will lose the face of the entire logistics department.¡± ¡°Ignore her. Lin Lin has been dreaming of being the CEO¡¯s wife since the first day she joined the company. Every month, when it¡¯s her turn to clean the top floor, she tries to see President Zuo with her own eyes and take the opportunity to hook up with him, but it never comes true.¡±The team leader gave Anhao a comforting look. Anhao shrugged her shoulders, meaning that she didn¡¯t care. She only glanced at Linlin, who kept rolling her eyes at her, and her heart was already filled with laughter. She wanted to be the CEO¡¯s wife¡­ That wasn¡¯t something that could be done just by dressing up as a beautiful and beautiful girl! You must first have a super thick skin, super strong ability to withstand pressure, super super super strong heart, in order to barely be able to fight Zuo Hancheng to a draw. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t even know how you were tortured to death. ¡°Didn¡¯t President Zuo just publicly announce on Facebook that he¡¯s already married a few days ago? Lin Lin, why haven¡¯t you given up?¡±As the team leader spoke, he suddenly glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±Speaking of which, Anhao looks like the girl in President Zuo¡¯s photo.¡± ¡°Yes, her figure is similar too. She¡¯s flat and has no material at all. ¡°Lin Lin added sourly,¡±Recently, you¡¯ve seen that everyone looks like Mrs. Zuo. Why don¡¯t you think that I look like Mrs. Zuo? Anhao pushed up her glasses. She was really thankful that the light in the photo that Zuo Hancheng took at the last minute was not bright. It was just a little hazy and dreamy, and it was not particularly clear. Perhaps only those who knew her would be able to recognize her. If others wanted to, they would not dare to recognize her. The team leader stopped arguing with Lin Lin and smiled at Anhao.¡±¡±Since Secretary Lin has instructed you to go, you should go. Remember to listen to Secretary Lin¡¯s arrangements when you reach the top floor. Remember not to be like Lin Lin, eager to see President Zuo. If President Zuo could meet people casually, why would the company need security facilities?¡± As he spoke, the team leader ignored Lin Lin¡¯s retort and argument and directly signaled Anhao to hurry up. Although Anhao was new and young, she was still very unhappy about being assigned to the logistics department. However, at this moment, she stood up and left calmly, completely ignoring the provocation of Linlin, who had put on too much lip gloss and her entire lips were shining. However, after entering the elevator, the calm Anhao finally began to grind her teeth secretly. Her calm mask was instantly removed. Zuo Hancheng! I hope you don¡¯t let me see you in the company today! Chapter 359 - Chapter 359: It’s Most convenient in the Office (5) Chapter 359: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Anhao?¡± Mobai walked into his office and immediately saw Anhao, who was fiddling with all kinds of disinfection tools. He immediately walked towards her. Anhao turned around and glanced at him, ignoring the surprise in his eyes. She pressed the disinfection tool in her hand and said, ¡®¡±¡®The cleaning tools in your company all come with disinfection functions, but the buttons are too complicated.¡± Mobai smiled and walked over to her side. He raised his hand and pressed a few times on the disinfection tool in front of her.¡± Many of the shared facilities in Shengling Group are developed by the company¡¯s electronic technology factory. This cleaning and disinfection tool is also manufactured by Shengling. It is used for cleaning on a daily basis. It is not difficult to use. As long as you are familiar with it, you will find that it is very simple and very humane.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very humane. I just have to go to each office and push it around. I don¡¯t have to clean it myself. However, I¡¯m not very good at disinfecting. ¡°Anhao said as she pointed to the buttons on the screen, ¡°What is this?¡± Mobai helped her with the tools in front of her again, pressing each button to demonstrate the function of each button. He turned to look at her and said, ¡®¡±¡®1 didn¡¯t believe Lin Qing when he said that he arranged for you to be an intern in the company. I didn¡¯t expect that he would really get you in.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll only be doing my internship for twenty days.¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± Who would have thought that I would come to your company to clean up?¡±¡± Mobai also smiled.¡±¡± Don¡¯t be discouraged. After all, not just anyone can enter Shengling Group. Besides, Anhao, your education is not high and you¡¯re still young. Your work ability is still not as good as those older colleagues. Letting you go to the logistics department is a chance for you to gain experience. Moreover, the logistics department is the easiest place. Even if you leave in twenty days, there won¡¯t be any handover problems or obstacles. I think that since Secretary Lin and the HR department have made such arrangements, they must have considered all aspects.¡± Anhao shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly.¡±¡±lt doesn¡¯t matter. Since I¡¯m already here, I can¡¯t run away even if I have to clean the toilets, let alone clean the floors and offices with this kind of tool. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.¡± Mobai smiled again.¡± I didn¡¯t expect you to work in the logistics department so calmly, Anhao.¡±¡® ¡°I thought that with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s protection, I could come to your company to sit in the office and enjoy the life of a high-class white-collar worker. Who would have thought that Zuo Hancheng would be so shameless?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at Mobai.¡±Don¡¯t pretend to be a good person in front of me. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re in cahoots with Zuo Hancheng and Secretary Lin. You must have discussed with Secretary Lin about my internship, but you didn¡¯t know where to place me. If you hadn¡¯t asked Zuo Hancheng for permission, you definitely wouldn¡¯t have sent me to the logistics department. So, the mastermind is still your CEO Zuo. What can I say?¡± Anhao said as she pushed the cleaning tools away.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m not going to talk to you anymore. I¡¯ll go clean the other room.¡± Mobai smiled and looked back at her with one hand in his pocket. He didn¡¯t say anything. It was only when Anhao was about to walk out of the office that Mobai touched his nose and said with a smile,¡±Actually, President Zuo is also giving you a chance to gain experience and grow. Twenty days is not too difficult. Not everyone had such an opportunity.¡± Anhao pushed the cleaning tools out of the door. She did not look back, but her eyebrows were slightly raised. Because she saw Zuo Hancheng! She had planned to go to the office next door to clean up, but as soon as she walked out, she saw Zuo Hancheng coming out of the elevator in front of her. At the same time, Secretary Lin Qing and a few other secretaries followed him with documents and meeting reports in their hands. As they walked, they talked about the important matters in the meeting. Zuo Hancheng walked back to his office without a word. He did not look in that direction. Anhao stared at his figure and gritted her teeth. She pushed the cleaning tools in front of her and walked towards the CEO¡¯s office. When she walked out of the office, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice coming from inside. He was giving instructions in a stern tone, as if someone had made a mistake in an important matter. Anhao had initially planned to go in and give Zuo Hancheng a hard time, but now that she heard his tone, she felt that he was already very unhappy. She pursed her lips and planned to leave first. Just as he was about to leave, the office door suddenly opened. Lin Qing walked out with a few secretaries behind him. There were both men and women, but most of them looked very young. Two of the young girls had red eyes. When Lin Qing saw Anhao, he nodded politely at her. Seeing that Anhao was about to leave, he closed the door behind him and said softly,¡±¡±Miss Gu, please go in.¡± Awvv, Lin Qing had seen through his motive. Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at the secretaries behind Lin Qing.¡±¡±Did they do something wrong?¡± Lin Qing nodded gently, ¡± You did make an unforgivable mistake at work. CEO Zuo has always been strict in the company and rarely makes a scene in front of the employees. Now, we don¡¯t dare to enter CEO Zuo¡¯s office again, but you can. You can go in first.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°What if I get caught in the flames of anger? Your Boss Zuo is obviously planning to do business during my internship. If I break a cup or something, I might be the next one to be scolded.¡±Anhao shook her head in refusal.¡± I think I¡¯ll go clean the other offices first.¡±¡¯ Lin Qing laughed,¡± No matter how angry CEO Zuo is right now, as long as you appear, any anger will be extinguished. ¡®¡±¡® Anhao was embarrassed by Lin Qing¡¯s teasing,¡±¡±lt can¡¯t be!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can try.¡± Lin Qing smiled. Anhao glanced at her, then at the office door in front of her. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not go in. She picked up a disinfectant cloth from the cleaning tools and walked to the door of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office. She had originally wanted to find trouble for Zuo Hancheng and settle the score with him. Why did the atmosphere suddenly change and she had to go in and appease the big BOSS? Lin Qing obviously didn¡¯t want the situation with his secretaries to continue developing. He wanted to push Anhao in to help calm this matter down. However, Anhao had the courage to stand out, but she was also a little worried. After Wan Yi entered the room, Zuo Hancheng threw the laptop at her without even looking at it. What if it hit her on the head? After all, who knew if this man would be ruthless if he really got angry! What if she went in and became a scapegoat? Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: It’s Most convenient in the Office (6) Chapter 360: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (6) Translator: 549690339 Lin Qing gave An Shi a pleading look before bringing the secretaries back to the secretary¡¯s office. Anhao was still standing outside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office. She finally raised her hand and knocked on the door. At first, there was no response. After she knocked twice, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lukewarm voice finally came through.¡±Come in.¡± Anhao held the disinfectant towel in her hand as she opened the door and walked in. The moment she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she glanced around. ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked directly when he saw her looking around after she entered the room. ¡°I was thinking, your office is so big, where should I start cleaning?¡±Anhao raised the disinfectant cloth in her hand.¡± I also heard that the logistics department can¡¯t come to your office just because they want to. Only specially arranged people can come in and clean it. I have to pay my respects.¡¯¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes narrowed.¡±You¡¯ve been to my office countless times, and you only want to worship me now?¡± ¡°That¡¯s different. In the past, I came to visit as Mrs. Zuo. Now, I¡¯m looking up from the perspective of an intern in the logistics department.¡± Anhao said as she reached out her hand to touch the table beside her. It was so clean that there was no dust at all. Why was she still cleaning it? ¡°What?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up. Was Mrs. Zuo dissatisfied with her internship?¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not intend to vent his anger at work on her and that he was actually smiling at her, Anhao immediately snorted. ¡°Satisfied! Of course he was satisfied! It¡¯s not easy to sneak into Shengling Group. I won¡¯t complain even if you send me to clean the toilets! How can I not be satisfied?¡± Anhao grinded her teeth as she spoke. At the same time, she took the disinfectant cloth in her hand and walked to his desk. She pointed angrily at the small table beside him that had been prepared for her a few months ago. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m only here for an internship for 20 days. Do you have to be so serious? It¡¯s just to feel the working atmosphere and environment. Isn¡¯t it better for me to stay here? Previously, when I was tutoring, you were able to prepare another desk for me. Why can¡¯t you move out a place in the office for me to work now?¡± As she spoke, she pointed at the computer on the table.¡±And you¡¯ve already prepared the computer for me. I thought you wanted me to come to your office, but you actually arranged for me to work in the logistics department. Zuo Hancheng, do you dare to say that you didn¡¯t do it on purpose?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, folded the documents in front of him and threw them aside. ¡°Did you know what I was doing before you came in?¡± ¡°I know. I heard it very clearly.¡± ¡°Since you know, you should know that today¡¯s outcome was caused by their negligence in their work. A company was not a school. In the workplace, one had to find a job.¡¯¡±¡® Since I¡¯ve asked you to come here for an internship, I¡¯m really giving you a chance to grow and gain experience,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± I¡¯m not asking you to play games in front of the computer and waste your time.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao glanced at the documents that Zuo Hancheng had thrown on the desk. The secretaries must have made some mistakes in the documents just now. Moreover, although Zuo Hancheng was not as indulgent and pampering to her as he usually was, he did not vent his anger on her because of what had happened before. She had witnessed his rationality and thoughtfulness in dealing with everything, and she could not refute what he had just said. Hence, Anhao picked up a disinfectant cloth to wipe his desk.¡±¡±Logistics department it is!¡± Looking at her unhappy but forced to endure expression, although she did not have the same disapproving ruffian air as before, she still had a face full of indignation. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the small table that he had prepared for her before.¡±¡±Today is your first day of internship at the company, and today¡¯s first lesson is to let you see clearly that life is not something that can be willful at any time and place. Life is not something that can be controlled by willfulness.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. You still have to teach me a lesson?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± I¡¯m trying to make you recognize a fact. In the workplace, if a person does not have any academic qualifications or ability, no matter how proud and vengeful you are, you will still be blocked from any high-ranking position. The logistics department may be your final destination.¡± ¡°In the same way, ability is the key factor to continue working, and education is a stepping stone.¡± ¡°Those who have no ability but have academic qualifications have high grades but low abilities. Those who have ability but have no academic ability are heroes who are easily buried. You swore time and time again that you would work hard, but you were often controlled by the rebellion and cleverness in your bones. One day, you would destroy yourself.¡± Anhao listened to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s serious words and realized that he was really giving her a lesson. She pursed her lips speechlessly and said after a long time,¡±Since you¡¯re so good at preaching, why didn¡¯t you consider giving a temporary guest lecture at the school? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I, your only student, will be stubborn and refuse to listen to your teachings?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have the time, and I¡¯m not interested.¡± ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you want to listen or not.¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes. Although she refused to say anything soft, she already understood Zuo Hancheng¡¯s motive. If she didn¡¯t treat her studies and life well, all her hopes for the future would be nonsense. Even if she wore all kinds of nice little suits like today and looked forward to sitting in the office, drinking tea, watching movies, and getting paid, her dreams would still be shattered and she would be sent to a place like the logistics department. This was because she did not have the necessary qualifications and was not of the appropriate age, so she lacked experience and ability. Now that she was being treated unfairly here, she knew what kind of future she wanted. At least her life had to be controlled by herself. If she continued to be sloppy like now, she would only be a failure in the end. In Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, she was not only his wife, but also a high school student who was only half a year away from the college entrance examination. She was a child who stood at the first point of her life. It was not that Zuo Hancheng had never been strict with her before, but he had been so strict with her before. However, she had been spoiled by him recently. She had almost forgotten the scene where he had pushed her into the bathroom and splashed her with cold water because she was wearing a punk outfit. She had also almost forgotten the indescribable awkwardness she felt when he had smashed all her zero scores on her head. This man¡­ From the very beginning, it was destined to be his nemesis. However, her temper was gone in an instant.. If it was in the past, she would have kicked his desk and left, shouting that she was not going to serve him anymore! Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: It’s Most convenient in the Office (7) Chapter 361: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (7) Translator: 549690339 Seeing that Anhao did not say a word despite the dissatisfaction in her eyes, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s black eyes stared at her face and smiled.¡±¡±Do you still feel wronged?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± I don¡¯t feel wronged, but you should have reminded me earlier. I don¡¯t want to be laughed at when I change into such a nice business suit. ¡± ¡°Who dares to laugh at you?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°However, his eyes were clearly the first to laugh at her! Anhao rolled her eyes again.¡±l was wearing such a high-end suit, but I was sent to the logistics department. They introduced me to the logistics department and said that I was new. When the people in the logistics department saw my clothes, they couldn¡¯t help but hold back their laughter, okay?¡± ¡°I thought you felt wronged, but it turned out to be because you lost face.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, stood up, and walked around the large office desk to her side. Anhao squinted at the man who was a head taller than her.¡±Why? If it¡¯s just a verbal consolation, don¡¯t waste your breath. I don¡¯t accept it¡­¡¯ Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already leaned over to steal a kiss on her lips. Anhao suddenly froze and glared at him, ¡°¡±You¡¯re acting like a hooligan in the company again! You were just throwing a tantrum with the people in the secretary¡¯s office just now, and now you¡¯re so perverted in the blink of an eye. Zuo Hancheng, do you have to be so¡­¡± . Aiya.¡± Anhao¡¯s waist was squeezed by him heavily, and she leaned into his arms with the force of his palm. She quickly turned to look outside the office door and said nervously,¡±Don¡¯t¡­I deliberately disguised myself so that people wouldn¡¯t recognize me so quickly. I don¡¯t want to be rolled to death by those women. Don¡¯t think that being Mrs. Zuo is a good job. Sometimes, the words Mrs. Zuo can kill me!¡± A woman¡¯s jealousy was very scary. She did not want to be recognized on the first day of work and then be rolled her eyes. Zuo Hancheng completely ignored the nervousness in her words. He only looked at her with a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. He smiled and took off her glasses and threw them on the desk. When Anhao turned her head to look at the glasses, he lifted her chin and sized up her little face that had light makeup on. ¡°Just now, for a moment, I felt that my little wife had grown up.¡±Zuo Hancheng stared at her with his beautiful black eyes. The moment Anhao looked up and met his gaze, he said in a low voice,¡±¡±This is the first time I¡¯ve discovered that the uniforms of the logistics department look so pleasing to the eye.¡± The first thing Anhao realized was that Zuo Hancheng was trying to sweet-talk her. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, Zuo Hancheng actually said sweet words to her? Should she be shy or what? Before she could regain consciousness, she was already in his arms. She had been standing in front of the desk and leaning against the edge of the desk. Suddenly, her feet left the ground and she snapped back to her senses. In the next moment, Zuo Hancheng had already placed her on the desk and sat her down. Anhao lowered her head to take a look. Right now, she was sitting on the office desk of the president of Shengling Group. Cough, cough. This treatment was a little too high, and she couldn¡¯t get used to it in a short time. ¡°What are you doing? Put me down¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her forehead and he said softly,¡±¡±lt¡¯s your first day at work. In case your little heart can¡¯t take this setback, I¡¯ll allow you to rest in my office this afternoon.¡± He said he was resting, but his hand had already reached into the bottom of her shirt, and his warm palm had already covered her back. Anhao had been busy pushing the cleaning tools back and forth, and the work clothes she was wearing were not as good as the clothes she usually wore. There was already a thin layer of sweat on her back. Now, when he touched her, her entire body felt hot, as if there was a layer of electricity on her body. She was about to push his hand away, but Zuo Hancheng had already moved his hand from behind her back to her chest with a smile. Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned red as she raised her hand to hold him down. She saw the gentleness in his eyes that seemed to be deliberately threatening, and she was both embarrassed and angry. How could Zuo Hancheng not know that her clever little head could immediately see through his intentions? He only smiled faintly and pinched the little softness in front of her chest. ¡°You don¡¯t want to stay in my office anymore?¡± His words made Anhao even more certain that he did it on purpose! The price of staying in his office with him was that she had to endure his sudden ¡± sexual desire ¡± at any time and place. If she really rested here for the entire afternoon, she might be stripped naked by him and pressed on this desk to be bullied! No matter how high-end this desk was, and how expensive every inch of it was, it was still an office desk. It was very hard and cold, alright! She tightened her grip on her clothes and glared at him.¡±Can¡¯t I go to work? Take your hand out! Don¡¯t touch it!¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly kissed her on the lips until the kiss gradually slid down to her neck before he stopped. He hugged her body that was already curled up nervously and said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±Actually, it¡¯s not a problem to get the HR department to transfer you to my office now. It just so happens that the company is very busy. When you get home from work, you¡¯ll already be asleep. It¡¯s just convenient now¡­¡± Anhao slapped her hands away forcefully. She had fallen asleep early twice in the past two days, but now it had become a reason for him to openly touch her! Zuo Hancheng¡¯s breath brushed against her ear. She felt that she was about to lose it from his teasing and hurriedly pushed him away. This time, Zuo Hancheng did not hold her down tightly, as if he felt that he could stop for the time being. However, Anhao jumped down from the office table with a flushed face. She tidied her clothes, quickly picked up her glasses and disinfectant cloth on the table, and ran out of his office. After leaving the office, she still raised her hand to touch her burning face. Motherf * cker! She was not the type of person who would blush so easily in the past, but every time Zuo Hancheng teased her, he would only be satisfied when she blushed. It was as if he was in a good mood every time she blushed. Lin Qing just happened to walk out of the secretary¡¯s office and was about to turn around to enter the elevator when he saw Anhao running out of President Zuo¡¯s office. Seeing Anhao¡¯s flushed face, Lin Qing held back his laughter.¡±¡±Miss Gu, how is it? President Zuo didn¡¯t vent his anger on you because of the secretary¡¯s mistake, did he?¡± Anhao was embarrassed to be bumped into by Lin Qing. She put down the hand that was originally on her face to cool down,¡¯¡±¡®No!¡± Lin Qing raised her eyebrows in understanding. ¡°Are you going back to the logistics department? Should I help you push the cleaning tools back?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. The wheels under the tools are very sensitive and easy to push. I can just take the elevator down and go back directly. She would come back in the afternoon to clean up the office. There were still a few offices that she had not cleaned up just now.¡±Anhao avoided Lin Qing¡¯s line of sight as she spoke and turned around to get her cleaning equipment.. Chapter 362 - Chapter 362: It’s Most convenient in the Office (Part Eight) Chapter 362: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (Part Eight) Translator: 549690339 On her first day at Shengling Group, she was forced to return to the logistics department to work honestly by Zuo Hancheng. The next day, Anhao couldn¡¯t go to the top floor because the logistics department¡¯s system was to take turns cleaning every floor. Yesterday, she was on the top floor. Today, it was her turn to clean the first floor. The first floor was the most difficult to clean because of the high traffic. After she cleaned it properly and returned to the logistics department office, she saw Lin Lin, who was sitting next to her, drinking the flower tea on the table in a good mood. Anhao glanced at Linlin and walked over to her seat. Just as she was about to drink some water, she suddenly heard Linlin say,¡±Hey, let me tell you, I saw President Zuo today.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was holding the glass of water paused and she glanced at her.¡±¡±And then?¡± Although Anhao was new and young, her way of talking was very subtle. Lin Lin didn¡¯t like to talk to her at first, but seeing that she was actually patiently listening to her talk about President Zuo, she turned to look at her with a smug expression. ¡°When I went to the top floor today, President Zuo was discussing something with the general manager of Heng Feng Corporation in the reception room. When Secretary Chen came out, he asked me to pour a few cups of coffee. After that, I directly sent the coffee to the reception room¡­¡± Anhao took a sip of water.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯ve been in the company for half a year, and the number of times I can go to the top floor every month does not exceed three times. In that case, I¡¯ve been to the top floor more than ten or twenty times, but I never had the chance to see President Zuo. He¡¯s even more handsome than I imagined! And President Zuo even made me laugh today!¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao put down the cup and screwed the lid back on, replying calmly,¡±¡±Oh, not bad.¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s indifferent look, Lin Lin rolled her eyes at her and turned to the colleagues at the table opposite her.¡±¡±Do you know? President Zuo smiled at me today, President Zuo smiled at me!¡± At this moment, the team leader walked in. When he heard Lin Lin¡¯s words, he immediately cleared his throat. ¡°Do you know why President Zuo smiled at you?¡± Lin Lin paused and turned to look at the team leader. She rolled her eyes and said, ¡°What do you mean? President Zuo drank a mouthful of coffee today and then smiled at me. Obviously, he was very satisfied with me. If I often appear in front of him in the future, he will definitely remember me!¡± The team leader looked at her love-struck face speechlessly. ¡°Today, Secretary Lin went to the branch office. When President Zuo met with President Heng Feng, Secretary Chen accompanied him, but Secretary Chen did not tell you President Zuo¡¯s preferences. You added milk and sugar to President Zuo¡¯s coffee, and President Zuo only smiled at you.¡± Lin Lin¡¯s bright face instantly turned deathly silent. Her face turned gray as she asked, ¡°President Zuo doesn¡¯t like coffee with sugar?¡± ¡°President Zuo never drinks coffee with milk or sugar. This is something that everyone in the secretary office knows. Secretary Chen could tell at a glance that you were dressed up so gorgeously because you had other intentions. She obviously didn¡¯t tell you on purpose so that you could have a taste of the secretary office¡¯s power.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you think the secretaries in the secretary¡¯s office are just decorations? All these years, there had been many women who wanted to build a relationship with President Zuo, but who had sent them away? If President Zuo doesn¡¯t want to pay attention to them, the people in the secretary¡¯s office will be the first to send them away. You¡¯re just a small employee of the logistics department. You dressed like this and ran to the top floor. Do you think no one can tell¡­¡± A woman in her thirties also mocked him. Lin Lin was at a disadvantage and gritted her teeth.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t President Zuo say anything? If he had told me, I would have gone to get him a new cup!¡± The group of people in the office immediately looked at Lin Lin as if they were looking at an idiot. Anhao also raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, she felt that the sisters in the secretary¡¯s office were like angels emitting a holy light. It turned out that her husband¡¯s rotten peach blossoms were specially cleaned and cleaned up. It was strange that some small characters did not even have the chance to enter her ears. ¡°Did you see President Zuo when you went up yesterday?¡± Lin Lin suddenly turned to look at Anhao.¡± ¡°I saw it.¡± Anhao replied calmly. ¡°Did President Zuo smile at you?¡± ¡°.. No, I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°See, see, I knew it. No matter what, President Zuo smiled at me. Don¡¯t be sarcastic and jealous of me. Secretary Chen, that old woman, is very scheming. She has never taken us female employees of the logistics department seriously. She deliberately bullied me. President Zuo saw that I was schemed against by Secretary Chen, so he smiled gently at me to comfort me¡­¡± The office was silent for a moment. Then, everyone smiled and shook their heads. No one paid attention to Lin Lin¡¯s bewitched words. The team leader also frowned.¡± Lin Lin, someone from the secretary¡¯s office called just now and asked us to pay attention to the quality of our department¡¯s employees. Isn¡¯t that obvious enough?¡± Don¡¯t go to the top floor for the next few months. Remember to wear overalls to work. Don¡¯t always wear all kinds of dresses. This is a workplace, not a beauty pageant.¡± Lin Lin immediately turned her head to look at the team leader with an ugly expression. The team leader said indifferently,¡±lf you¡¯re not convinced, you can leave Shengling Group. If you want to climb up the ladder, you have to see your own ability.If you have the ability, you can use another way to get close to your dream lover, President Zuo. Don¡¯t be like a love-struck fool who says that today I saw President Zuo¡¯s back and tomorrow he smiled at you! Even if you re not annoyed, we are!¡± This was obviously the intention to chase her away. It was up to Lin Lin to see if she could still maintain her face. After two days, she realized that Linlin had not come back to work. Only then did she realize that the workplace was really a scary place. A person¡¯s shortcomings could be ridiculed by everyone, spread endlessly, and ridiculed from the moment they entered the company. It would make it impossible for people to survive in this place. Although there was no real smoke on the surface, they were not like the students who would willfully show everything on their faces. They would fight whenever they wanted and complain to the principal whenever they wanted. The workplace was a place where a few words from someone behind the scenes could drive a person out. Moreover, no one was willing to consider the future and face of a small employee. ¡°Gu Anhao, the Planning Department needs to copy a large amount of information. We don¡¯t have enough manpower at the moment, so we want to transfer some people from our logistics department.¡± Anhao received the instructions from her superior and hurried out. When she passed by the lobby on the first floor, she was fiddling with the documents that needed to be photocopied in large quantities. She did not notice the person walking in front of her. Moreover, the person did not avoid her. The moment she bumped into the person¡¯s arms, she suddenly looked up. At the same time, she was stunned.. Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: It’s Most convenient in the Office (9) Chapter 363: It¡¯s Most convenient in the Office (9) Translator: 549690339 The moment she bumped into that person¡¯s arms, she suddenly looked up. At the same time, she was stunned. Yi Zeyang hugged Anhao tightly. When Anhao looked up at him in surprise, he looked down at the documents in her arms. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yi Zeyang asked first. Anhao did not expect to bump into Yi Zeyang in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s territory, nor did she expect to meet him here after such a long time. ¡°I¡­ I still have more than 20 days before school starts. I¡¯m currently doing my internship here.¡±Anhao barely managed to find her voice. At the same time, she took a step back and broke free from his embrace. She raised her hand and pushed up her glasses.¡±To put it bluntly, I¡¯m here to train myself.¡± ¡°How old are you and you¡¯re already interning at a place like Shengling Group? Did Zuo Hancheng arrange for you to come here?¡± Yi Zeyang frowned, not very happy. ¡°I¡¯m already twenty years old, so I¡¯m not a child. Besides, I¡¯ve seen many of my peers doing odd jobs in various places. It¡¯s also a way to grow and gain experience.¡± Yi Zeyang frowned,¡±¡±What is this?¡± ¡°Ah, this is the document from the Planning Department. They want to make 800 copies this afternoon, but the photocopier in the Planning Department is broken, so they asked us to go over and help.¡±Anhao raised the document in her hand and smiled.¡±¡±This kind of work isn¡¯t that tiring. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Instinctively, Anhao felt that Yi Zeyang would feel sorry for her and worry about her like he did when they were young, so she subconsciously explained. Yi Zeyang looked at her, then at the staff members who were passing by and looking at them curiously. Anhao also felt that some people seemed to have recognized him as the young master of the Yi Group, so she stepped back a little more and kept an appropriate distance from him to avoid being criticized and guessed by others. When Yi Zeyang turned around and saw her retreating, he did not say anything. His eyes darkened slightly, but before Anhao could ask him, he said directly,¡±¡±One of my financers will be here today. I¡¯m on the way here to wait for him. We¡¯ll go back to the Yi Group Group later.¡± ¡± Like I said, I¡¯ve never heard of any cooperation between the Yi Group and Shengling. Besides, Zuo Hancheng probably won¡¯t cooperate with the Yi Group¡­¡± Before she could finish, Yi Zeyang looked at the pair of glasses she was wearing.¡±¡±The person I¡¯m waiting for hasn¡¯t arrived yet. Are you in a hurry to make copies of these documents in your hands? If you¡¯re not in a hurry, why don¡¯t you come out with me?¡± Anhao glanced at the time.¡± It seems that I have to make 800 copies by 4 p.m. today, but I have other colleagues to help me. I have 10 or 20 minutes of free time. It should be fine. If I go out, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to make it. Let¡¯s go to the rest room on our first floor.¡¯ ¡°Alright.¡± Yi Zeyang had no objections. Walking into the lounge on the logistics department¡¯s floor, Anhao put down the documents in her hands, turned around to pour some water from the water dispenser, and walked over to put it on the coffee table opposite the sofa. Seeing Anhao¡¯s every move, Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t say anything and just looked at her quietly. Until Anhao sat down on the sofa opposite him and said with a smile,¡±¡±l heard that the latest project that the Yi Group invested in has already been listed in the United States. You¡¯ve only been back for half a year and you¡¯ve easily broken through everything that Uncle Yi had never done before.¡± ¡°So you can call my dad Uncle Yi.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao,¡± Yi Zeyang smiled.¡± You¡¯ve been avoiding me for so long. I know what you¡¯re thinking and why you¡¯re avoiding me.¡± I¡¯m very sorry that I didn¡¯t give you a timely answer back then¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem appropriate to say this now.¡±¡±l¡¯m already married anyway. You and Miss Qi should be getting married soon, right?¡± I saw it on the news a few days ago. Your wedding with Miss Qi is in April this year? In other words, there are about two months left. Congratulations!¡± Seeing that Anhao really did not want to talk about the things between the two of them, Yi Zeyang looked at her and smiled faintly,¡¯¡±Yes.¡± It seemed like Yi Zeyang was really getting married. Anhao suddenly felt a little emotional about the years when she was young in the Yi family. She was always following behind Yi Zeyang. She was even more emotional about how she had a crush on him when she was young and chased away his admirers and girlfriends who almost got together with him. She even used many tricks to bully those girls when she was young so that they did not dare to get close to Yi Zeyang. Thinking back, he already had a rebellious nature. The change later on was probably just his nature being indulged. If she had not met Zuo Hancheng, who knew what she would be like now. ¡°I heard that the Qi family has a very high status in the military. The Yi family is also planning to participate in the military equipment manufacturing industry?¡±Anhao asked. ¡°It¡¯s just a preliminary plan and hasn¡¯t been officially implemented yet. It¡¯s just a rumor.¡± After that, Anhao and Yi Zeyang casually chatted about some simple, medium-sized things. They did not touch on any sensitive topics. When Yi Zeyang asked her which university she wanted to apply to, Anhao¡¯s phone rang. It was the team leader urging her to go to the planning department to help. Anhao had no choice but to get up and get ready to go to work. Just as she was about to walk out of the resting room, she suddenly turned around and looked at Yi Zeyang, ¡°¡±When you and Miss Qi get married, you won¡¯t deliberately not invite me like you did during the engagement, right?¡± She waved her hand in front of him.¡±¡±Remember to give me an invitation card and a large wedding candy gift bag!¡± Seeing her mischievous little face, Yi Zeyang, who had been calm and even a little heavy after entering the resting room, finally smiled. He suddenly raised his hand and held her little hand that was shaking wildly in front of him.¡±How about a seafood gift bag?¡± ¡°That¡¯s even better!¡± Anhao widened her eyes.¡± ¡°You little brat, you are still so greedy.¡±The atmosphere became much more relaxed. Yi Zeyang held her hand with one hand and raised his other hand to caress her head. ¡°What is this?¡± Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in front of the lounge. Anhao turned her eyes to look at the door and saw Boss Zuo, who had come to the logistics department¡¯s floor walk in. Anhao was shocked and she pulled her hand away from Yi Zeyang¡¯s hand. Her voice came out without thinking,¡±¡±What are you doing?¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s expression as if she was a little rabbit caught by a fox, Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes did not move. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and said, ¡°¡±President Zuo, nice to meet you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed a pleasure to meet you at Shengling Group.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao without batting an eyelid, then glanced at Yi Zeyang with a smile that did not reach his eyes.. Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: I Want To Be Above (1) Chapter 364: I Want To Be Above (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was not in a good mood after he gave her a cold glance. It would be strange if she was in a good mood when she saw her wife holding hands with another man, especially the man she had a crush on for many years. Anhao quickly explained herself to avoid any misunderstandings and awkward situations.¡¯¡±¡® Yi Zeyang is getting married to Miss Qi in two months. We met in the hall on the first floor just now, so we wanted to find a place to sit down and chat. I was just asking him for the wedding invitation just now¡­¡± ¡°The Yi Group¡¯s Young Master and Old General Qi¡¯s precious granddaughter are getting married. I will definitely bring my wife along to attend such a sensational event in City A. Even if your company doesn¡¯t send me an invitation, we should still send a big gift according to the rules of the industry.¡±Zuo Hancheng had a faint smile on his face, but his voice was cold. Yi Zeyang looked at him calmly and smiled, ¡°¡±President Zuo, you are speaking on the ground. I was indeed planning to explain the invitation to Anhao. I didn¡¯t expect President Zuo to suddenly come over and interrupt our conversation. If there is any misunderstanding, please don¡¯t take offense.¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Xiang Anhao meaningfully.¡±¡±After all, Anhao is a little girl who grew up with you. How can a little sister not give her blessings when her brother is getting married? Speaking of which, although I¡¯m a few years older than you, it seems that you should also call me brother-in-law.¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. He looked at Anhao at the same time. Anhao almost choked on her own saliva. Brother-in-law! Even she was no match for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shamelessness! After being glared at by Anhao, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not feel the anger in her eyes. He continued to look at Yi Zeyang with a faint smile and did not wait for Yi Zeyang to call him brother-in-law. He said,¡±¡±l heard that Miss Qi is a top student who went to the United States to study with you. Although she is two years younger than you, the two of you were already a loving couple when you were studying abroad. After you finished your studies, you were directly engaged.¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s expression gradually turned cold as he looked at Zuo Hancheng indifferently. Zuo Hancheng looked at him with a half-smile. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng and then at Yi Zeyang. Although the two men did not fall out with each other, the way they looked at each other seemed to send out all kinds of dangerous signals. ¡°When Weiran first met me in America, I was about to graduate and leave college. During the few years we met, she was studying while I started a small business in Los Angeles. I didn¡¯t have much time to date, so President Zuo¡¯s words were actually exaggerating the relationship between us. ¡®¡±¡® We only interacted a little more after we returned to the country,¡± Yi Zeyang said calmly.¡± The engagement between the Yi and Qi families was also a surprise to ¡®¡±¡® When Zuo Hancheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows with a lukewarm smile.¡±Oh Yi Zeyang¡¯s lips curled up.¡± Although I have other love in my heart, I have no choice but to give it up because of the marriage between my families.¡± Since the responsibility had been shouldered, it could not be easily removed. Mr. Zuo must be well aware of this rule.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curved into a faint smile.¡± Indeed. Mr. Yi may have just taken over the family business, but you have a deeper understanding of the rules than someone like me, who has been in the business world for many years. At this moment, I realize that I have been neglecting my studies.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. How dare an experienced driver like you say that you¡¯re not as good as Yi Zeyang? Your words were so sour that they almost spilled out of the office building, alright? Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t say anything more. He looked down at the time and said,¡±¡±lt¡¯s getting late. The person I¡¯m waiting for should have arrived. I¡¯ll treat the two of you to a meal another day.¡± Anhao raised her hand and waved at Yi Zeyang. She whispered,¡±¡±Bye-bye.¡± Yi Zeyang smiled at her, his gaze falling on the work clothes she was wearing. He turned around with a cold gaze and said,¡±¡±Anhao hasn¡¯t even graduated from high school yet. She¡¯s still half a child after all. Mr. Zuo, you should lower your expectations of the people around you occasionally.¡± After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao calmly, but his voice was directed at Yi Zeyang, who had already walked out of the door.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m not sending you off.¡± His voice was extremely cold. Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng, who had always been a tactful person, would not use such a tone and attitude. However, his voice was extremely cold. Yi Zeyang paused for a second, but it was only for a second before he left. Anhao stuck her head out and looked at the outside. She only looked at Zuo Hancheng when Yi Zeyang¡¯s figure disappeared into the distance. When she saw him, she realized that his gaze had already fallen on her face, but his eyes were as clear as a spring. ¡°Are you jealous?¡± Anhao stared at him speechlessly.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He only had one hand in his trouser pocket. His expression was as cold as his eyes. ¡°It can¡¯t be, right?¡± Anhao pursed her lips. Can¡¯t you tell that I don¡¯t feel guilty at all? If there was really something between me and Yi Zeyang, I would have left with him long ago. Why would I need to listen to the two of you bickering? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes did not warm up when he heard Anhao¡¯s words. He only glanced at the documents on the coffee table when Anhao explained. ¡± Well, as you can see, I was just about to go to the Planning Department to help when I passed by the first floor and wanted to change to the elevator to go up. In the end, I bumped into Yi Zeyang. We just came up to have a few words. If there really is any unspeakable secret between us, I will go out and talk to him. I won¡¯t just find a random lounge in the company to sit down and chat. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can pull up the surveillance cameras on this floor. There really is nothing going on between me and him¡­¡± Anhao explained very seriously. She had never been so serious about anything before. Now that she was explaining something in such detail, even she herself could not believe it. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have finally listened to her explanation. He raised his hand and caressed her head gently. Anhao immediately raised her hand to cover her head.¡±What are you doing? Is this domestic violence?¡± ¡°Wash your hair when you get home from work.¡±Zuo Hancheng said coldly and turned to leave. Anhao was stunned for a while in the resting room before she suddenly rushed out.¡±¡±Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng is not as unreasonable as you! When I was young, I used to play this game with Yi Zeyang. Whenever I raised my hand, he would grab my hand. Even when we were in our teens, we still played this game to see who was faster. He had touched my hair countless times..¡± Chapter 365 - Chapter 365: I Want To Be Above (2) Chapter 365: I Want To Be Above (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was rambling non-stop. Zuo Hancheng did not turn around but walked straight into the storage room next to the logistics department. She was stunned for a moment and followed him. She saw that he was looking for something after entering the storage room. She looked around.¡± Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng walked to the corner of the room and stuffed a bottle of disinfectant into her hand. Anhao looked at the bottle of disinfectant with a puzzled expression, then looked up at him. ¡°Since you¡¯re so generous, remember to wash yourself from head to toe when you go back.¡±Zuo Hancheng left without looking back. Anhao immediately clenched the disinfectant bottle in her hand angrily and quickly followed him. She chased after him and whispered, ¡°¡±Crazy! I¡¯ve been bullied by you from head to toe, and now I¡¯m covered in the smell of scum! It just so happens that I¡¯ve long wanted to disinfect myself! Thank you for the reward! Otherwise, embezzling the company¡¯s public property without permission would result in a deduction of her internship performance!¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks when he heard the word ¡®scum¡¯. Anhao didn¡¯t notice that he had stopped for a moment. She was still chasing after him at the same speed. Her entire body crashed into his back and hit the back of the hardest shoulder blade on his back. She immediately raised her hand to cover her nose in pain and glared at him with an expression that said she would not be fine if she did not take revenge. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say anything when you suddenly stopped?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and a smile appeared in his eyes. When Anhao glared at him, he said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Wash your brain too.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao covered her nose and stood rooted to the ground, looking at that hateful man. She gritted her teeth. Asshole, jealous, just say, f * ck, bully an honest person like me! (Dumbstruck onlookers: Honest person? Are you sure? Hehe¡­Shameless people are invincible, ha! ¡°Anhao, what are you doing? I¡¯ve been looking for you for a long time, but I haven¡¯t found you. Why are you back at the logistics department?¡±The team leader¡¯s voice came from the direction of the stairs. Anhao turned to look at the team leader and walked over.¡±¡±l came back to get some things and was delayed for a while. Is everything okay?¡± The team leader knew that she was brought in by Secretary Lin. Although he didn¡¯t know if it was Secretary Lin or someone else, he had been in the company for a long time and knew that an intern who had not graduated at her age must have an extraordinary background. Of course, he wouldn¡¯t really lose his temper at Anhao. However, he still criticized her a little before asking Anhao to hurry to the Planning Department to help. Anhao¡¯s mood improved a lot since she was not reprimanded, but she was already prepared to put rat poison in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dinner tonight! Yes, the worst thing that had happened recently was that Zuo Hancheng forbade her from eating takeout when he had business meetings or when he was working overtime. He made her cook dinner for herself, just like when she was with him when he was recovering from his injuries, and bring him some food as well. Mrs. Zuo, who had to take care of everything, had turned into a hardworking person who worked like a cow day and night. This difference really made her want to slap him to death at any moment! When they got home that night, Anhao really did add some food to dinner. Of course, it was not rat poison. Cough, cough. She did not want to be a widow. She had only poured in a little more vinegar. Actually, it wasn¡¯t much. It was just a bottle, a whole bottle. Zuo Hancheng had a business meeting outside that night, so he came home two hours later than her. He didn¡¯t smell of alcohol, and it seemed like he hadn¡¯t eaten anything. Anhao brought out a bowl of soup and placed it on the dining table. She smiled and said,¡±¡±Come and try the soup I made today. I specially learned it from the recipe. It¡¯s said to be very nourishing!¡± ¡°Nourishing?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her without moving his eyes.¡¯¡±¡®Am I not enough to satisfy you?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched and she clenched her fists tightly.¡±¡±There are many kinds of nourishment, okay? For a species like you who has been working for years, it¡¯s good for your body to eat more nutritious things!¡± As she spoke, she pushed the bowl of soup in front of him when he walked to the dining table.¡±Then, drink quickly.¡± Zuo Hancheng gave her face and reached out to open the lid of the soup bowl. Instantly, the smell of vinegar filled her nose. He put down the lid.¡± The vinegar smell is almost filling the whole house. Do you think I¡¯ll drink this damn thing?¡± Anhao took the bowl beside her and placed it heavily in front of him. She glared at him and threatened, ¡°¡±Do you want to drink?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re so jealous. You¡¯ll die if you drink it.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± Anhao glared at him. I didn¡¯t even see any problems with you during the day, how could you die so easily now?¡± She pushed the bowl in front of him.¡±¡±lf you don¡¯t drink, sleep in separate rooms!¡± ¡°Threatening me?¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously surprised by her sudden unyielding attitude, but his lips curled into a meaningful smile. Even if Anhao knew that she couldn¡¯t threaten him at all, the soup had already been made and the smell of vinegar had filled the entire room. How could she be satisfied if he didn¡¯t drink it? ¡°How much vinegar did you put in?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the bowl of soup in front of her. ¡°A small bowl.¡± Anhao replied. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Half a bottle¡­¡± Anhao saw the look in his eyes and had no choice but to change her words. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows again. She immediately gritted her teeth and said, ¡°One bottle of the pig! Zuo Hancheng scooped out a small bowl of soup with a spoon and drank the entire bowl of soup. Anhao¡¯s eyes almost popped out when she put down the bowl. Did he really drink it? ¡°Drinking vinegar occasionally is good for your health. One bowl is enough. Thanks, Mrs. Zuo.¡±Zuo Hancheng saw the surprise in her eyes, and a smile appeared in his dark eyes. In fact, Anhao¡¯s soup was really not delicious. She added so much vinegar, and she could smell how difficult it was to eat. However, Zuo Hancheng still drank the disgusting food that she made. Zuo Hancheng looked at her and after a short silence, his eyes remained calm. He did not admit or deny it. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, a man like you who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth has never been treated so inhumanely. Why don¡¯t you complain at all?¡±Anhao stared at him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was as clear as water, but it was also scorching. When she began to put away the soup that tasted awful in embarrassment, he smiled indifferently.¡±l enjoyed it very much.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart warmed. Enjoy what? Enjoyed her unreasonable behavior? Enjoying her willfulness? Enjoying her childishness and imperfection? He was still enjoying the super disgusting soup she made. After a moment of silence, Anhao said seriously, ¡®¡±¡®There¡¯s really nothing between me and Yi Zeyang. To me now, he¡¯s just the older brother who doted on me when I was in the Yi family.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with a warm smile.¡±¡±l know..¡± Chapter 366 - Chapter 366: I Want To Be Above (3) Chapter 366: I Want To Be Above (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Hey, Anhao, you¡¯re the first person in the company who hasn¡¯t been upset by the logistics manager and team leader for so long.¡± A week later, Anhao had learned to restrain her temper and get along with her colleagues. At noon, a colleague told her this in the staff cafeteria. Anhao¡¯s internship at Shengling Group seemed peaceful, but in fact, everyone was secretly guessing who her background was. Seeing that she only needed to intern here for about a week before she could go home and rest for two days to prepare for school, Anhao smiled at them.¡±¡±Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯m young, but the manager and the team leader aren¡¯t willing to argue with me.¡± Who said that she must have a bad brain just because she was young? Who said that she would really cause trouble in this company just because Zuo Hancheng wanted to train her? Gu Anhao wasn¡¯t a retard. She knew better than anyone what she should and shouldn¡¯t do. At this moment, in front of the staff cafeteria, the logistics manager and Lin Qing looked inside. The logistics manager said directly,¡±¡±Fortunately, Gu Anhao has been doing well in the logistics department. Even I¡¯m surprised. She¡¯s only 20 years old. She looks very sloppy, but when she does things, she rarely makes mistakes. She¡¯s very smart. Where did you find this girl?¡± Lin Qing also looked in Anhao¡¯s direction and smiled when he saw her chatting and laughing with her colleagues. ¡°You¡¯ll find out about Gu Anhao¡¯s identity one day. However, I¡¯m also very surprised by her behavior all this time.¡± He believed that President Zuo should be very surprised as well. Although Anhao was very unhappy when she was assigned to the logistics department on the day she first joined the company, her expression was not very good. After that, she officially entered the working state and was very good at observing people¡¯s expressions. Usually, fresh graduates or new employees with high academic qualifications who were close to 30 years old would still need a long time to adapt here. However, Anhao usually looked carefree as if she did not care about anything, but when she really wanted to integrate into an environment¡­ She knew how to behave better than anyone else. Originally, she and Mobai thought that the logistics department would be in chaos because of Anhao. They were worried that President Zuo would have a headache. They were still thinking about how to give Anhao a chance to temper herself while appeasing the logistics department staff. In the end¡­ Anhao¡¯s performance in the past ten days had truly shocked both her and Mobai. Did President Zuo¡¯s words wake her up? That was why a girl with a temper like Anhao was willing to intern in the company¡¯s logistics department so peacefully. Lin Qing looked at her for a while before leaving. He was planning to report to President Zuo about Anhao¡¯s situation in the logistics department as usual, but when he reached the floor of President Zuo¡¯s office, he suddenly saw Rong Xue walking out of the president¡¯s office. Lin Qing stopped in his tracks and looked at the figure for a long time. He was sure that the woman was Rong Xue. It was rare for Anhao to not be so busy this afternoon. Zuo Hancheng did not force her to write those test papers because Anhao had been working here recently. However, school was about to start, so she simply lay in front of the computer in the logistics department and searched for the key content for the second semester of senior high school. Of course, she did not want to learn it now. Instead, she wanted to be mentally prepared. She wanted to know what kind of inhuman treatment and terrifying problems she would have to face in the next six months. ¡°Anhao, I¡¯ll give you a break this afternoon and tomorrow. Hurry up and pack up.¡± The team leader walked into the office and saw Anhao checking something on the computer, so she walked over. Anhao closed the webpage on the computer screen and turned to look at the team leader.¡±¡±Why am I suddenly on vacation?¡± ¡°Last weekend, Xiao Yun took a leave of absence at the last minute. Didn¡¯t you help her fill in for her? Today and tomorrow are not that busy, so you should rest. ¡± Anhao was overjoyed. She turned around and packed her bag, preparing to go home. ¡°Hey, that person looks like Rongxue!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I think that Alice¡­¡± Several staff members on the first floor who were standing near the entrance were secretly looking at the woman with a super good figure who was wearing a fashionable cap and sunglasses. They were all discussing in low voices. Anhao had just stepped out of the elevator when she heard people discussing beside the elevator. She vaguely heard Rongxue¡¯s name and immediately turned to look in the direction they were pointing at. Sure enough, the woman with the black cap and sunglasses also looked in her direction. Who else could it be but Rong Xue? Anhao glanced at her and walked over indifferently. Of course, she was not walking in Rongxue¡¯s direction, but because she was going out. She wanted to go home for a vacation. She wanted to go back to sleep! Rong Xue was standing there, so she had no choice but to walk over. As Anhao approached, Rong Xue suddenly took off her sunglasses. The employees who were discussing exploded. They almost forgot about the quality of the employees and surrounded her to ask if she was Alice Snow. Rong Xue didn¡¯t say anything. She just looked at Anhao and gave her a thoughtful smile when Anhao approached her. Anhao only glanced at her and saw that the people around her were surrounding the big star. She felt even more bored and did not even want to pay attention to them. She turned around and walked towards the door. He did not know why Rong Xue came to Shengling Group again. She was smiling at him in front of so many people. Some of the employees next to her picked up their phones and took pictures of their faces. It was strange. She was a national idol who liked to smile in front of the camera, and Anhao was too lazy to give her face. Seeing that Anhao had left, Rong Xue walked straight to the door. Looking at Anhao¡¯s back, the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared. Only the corners of her mouth maintained the most basic smile of a public figure. Anhao sat in the taxi and looked at her phone. She hadn¡¯t finished reading the key points for the next semester on the computer, but she had saved them in the network disk. As she was looking at them, a piece of news suddenly popped up on her phone. The latest photos released by XX Entertainment Media¡­ Alice¡¯s sudden appearance at Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters, her sudden development in the country, and her sudden appearance at her old love¡¯s company headquarters attracted speculations from the industry. Was her relationship with Zuo Hancheng in the United States still unclear? Who was the wife that Zuo Hancheng had publicly announced on Facebook? The young girl in the photo who was looking at Alice coldly looked like Mrs. Zuo, who had been publicized many days ago¡­ When Mrs. Zuo¡¯s identity was made public, Alice¡¯s post on Facebook,¡± hehe ¡® caused people to have endless fantasies¡­ Looking at the news that popped up automatically, Anhao impatiently deleted the latest news software installed on her phone. What kind of messy software was this? The news that popped up every day was either someone who had gone missing on a mountain, some internationally famous fatty who had lost weight and turned into a skeleton, or these kinds of ¡°shocking¡± big events in the entertainment industry! Stupid XX Media, I hope you close down soon! Chapter 367 - Chapter 367: I Want To Be Above (4) Chapter 367: I Want To Be Above (4) Translator: 549690339 That night, Zuo Hancheng rarely returned home late. Anhao was in a good mood because she would be on leave for the afternoon and the next day, so she went to buy all kinds of ingredients and planned to have hotpot at home when Zuo Hancheng came back. Anyway, as long as the hotpot ingredients tasted good, it would definitely be better than her own cooking. In the end, because Zuo Hancheng had a last-minute business meeting at night, Anhao had no choice but to eat hotpot alone. She ate until she was drenched in sweat and tears. In the end, she cleaned up the mess on the table and rushed into the bathroom to take a bath. She was humming in the bathroom when she suddenly heard the door open. She picked up the bathrobe and put it on. She covered her head with a towel that was better at absorbing water and walked out. Zuo Hancheng looked tired when he entered the room. Anhao looked at him while drying her hair.¡±You weren¡¯t so busy a few days ago. Did you pile up all your work today? Why is it so late?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Although the tiredness in his eyes was still lingering, he smiled and gestured for her to sit on the sofa. Anhao wiped her hair clean and walked over to sit beside him.¡±¡±Are you tired? I originally prepared hotpot tonight, but you didn¡¯t come back, so I ate it alone. I was afraid that it wouldn¡¯t taste good tomorrow, so I poured out the soup base. If you didn¡¯t eat anything tonight, I¡¯ll help you prepare some more¡­¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ve already eaten.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly held onto her hand. His grip was a little tight, unlike his usual grip. Anhao paused for a moment and lowered her gaze to look at their intertwined hands. Then, she looked up at him and suddenly raised her eyebrows with a smile.¡±Are you jealous that I have a holiday tomorrow?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m very jealous.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. Let me be quiet.¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled her into his arms.¡± Anhao suddenly looked at him in bafflement.¡± Am I very noisy?¡± However, when she saw that he had closed his eyes and was still hugging her on the sofa, she only asked one question and did not say anything else. She just quietly leaned into his arms and allowed him to hug her like this. She simply put her ear on his chest and leaned into his arms. She found a comfortable position and rubbed her face against his chest with a smile. In the end, Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes and patted her head.¡±¡±How many shirts do you want to destroy before you stop?¡± Anhao looked up. I wanted you to help me dry my hair. The last time you dried my hair, you were so skilled that even I was amazed!¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at her small eyes that were deliberately trying to torment him. A light glow appeared in his dark eyes as he stroked her wet hair.¡±Go get the hairdryer.¡± You¡¯re so tired, yet you¡¯re still willing to give all your requests? It wasn¡¯t Anhao¡¯s character to not enjoy the good fortune. Anhao immediately got up and ran to find the hairdryer. After connecting it to the power supply, she handed it to him. She even laid on the sofa and rested her head on his lap. Her legs were curled up under her nightdress, and she was obediently prepared to enjoy her husband¡¯s personal blow-drying treatment. Zuo Hancheng caught a glimpse of her mermaid-like appearance. Her long nightdress covered her entire leg, revealing only her two fair and cute little feet that were swaying around. When his hand passed through her hair, Anhao closed her eyes and sighed comfortably.¡±¡±Anyway, you were the one who asked me to grow my hair long. It¡¯s not convenient to wash my long hair and it¡¯s troublesome to blow it dry. In the future, after I wash my hair, I¡¯ll leave the task of drying my hair to you, okay?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was soft. Anhao opened her eyes and looked at him. When he helped her dry her hair, his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if he was treating a precious treasure carefully and patiently. Anhao immediately flipped over in his arms and turned her head to face his abdomen. While enjoying his service, she raised her hand to fiddle with the corner of his shirt. ¡°Rongxue went to Shengling Group today, didn¡¯t she?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer and continued drying her hair. She didn¡¯t know if it was because the hairdryer was too loud that it drowned out her voice, or if he just didn¡¯t intend to answer. Anhao continued to ask,¡±Was she looking for you?¡± Or was he going to represent Tiansheng to discuss some entertainment project collaboration?¡± Zuo Hancheng still did not answer. His slender fingers gently ran through her hair, blowing her words seriously. Seeing that he was completely ignoring her, Anhao rolled her eyes. She suddenly sat up and glared at him with her messy hair that had not been blown dry.¡±Did you see the news today?¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped the hairdryer and put it aside. He looked at her calmly and raised his hand to smooth her hair, which was as messy as Mei Chaofeng¡¯s.¡±lt¡¯s easy to catch a cold if you sleep without drying it.¡¯ Anhao raised her hand to touch her hair. It was indeed still a little wet, but the focus was not on her hair. She stared at his indifferent expression.¡±Rongxue is a very proud woman. She has a high class, but she would rather give up her class and chase after you. She wants to be by your side again. There must be a reason why she insists.¡± Zuo Hancheng listened to her quietly and did not interrupt her immediately. He only looked at her small eyes that were burning with jealousy and listened quietly. ¡°I want to know the reason for her persistence.¡±Anhao had never felt so inexplicably panicked before. When she saw the news, she saw Rong Xue deliberately smiling at her in front of everyone. Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched for two hours. She had planned to ask him a few questions during hotpot dinner, but Zuo Hancheng had come back so late today. But she couldn¡¯t help it. She always felt that Rong Xue would not pester someone for no reason. Even if it was a man she had once loved deeply, even if it was just unwillingness. However, for a woman like Rong Xue to use such a forceful and even somewhat entangled method to infiltrate the territory step by step, it was definitely not that simple. There was no love without resentment or hatred. There would always be a reason. She believed that Zuo Hancheng, the person involved, was fully aware of this reason. As Anhao stared at him, she saw her reflection in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark pupils. She was staring at him with her messy hair and a look of interrogation. By the time she realized that she was jealous, it was too late. Zuo Hancheng had already noticed that her bathrobe had been exposed when she had just gotten up. He reached out his hand and pulled her back easily.. Chapter 368 - Chapter 368: I Want To Be Above (5) Chapter 368: I Want To Be Above (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m asking you a serious question. You can¡¯t just get away with this!¡± Anhao was pressed against the sofa by him, and his hand was slowly moving up her waist until it touched her armpit. She giggled and wriggled back and forth between his arms and the sofa.¡±Aiya! It¡¯s so itchy!¡± I¡¯m so serious, so serious. Can¡¯t you answer me seriously too¡­Aiya, don¡¯t touch me¡­ltchy¡­¡± ¡°The past is still the past. No matter how serious you ask, it¡¯s still the past. Haven¡¯t you always acted like you don¡¯t care? Now, you¡¯re asking me with such a caring attitude. What kind of answer do you want me to give you?¡± Zuo Hancheng leaned over her and placed his hands on both sides of her body.¡±¡±Do you want to hear the story of me getting to know another woman many years ago, or do you want me to summarize the central idea of your previous relationship so that it will help you express yourself in your essay?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Only a lunatic would listen to your central idea!¡±¡± ¡°Indeed, only a lunatic would be curious about the past between their husband and ex-girlfriend. Anhao, does this mean that my presence in your heart is no longer just this?¡± Zuo Hancheng pointed at her chest. When Anhao quickly raised her hand to cover her chest, he mimicked her actions and pinched a small gap between his fingers. Anhao was embarrassed to see this. She reached out and pulled his hand off. She did not say anything at first, but then she pulled the gap between his two fingers bit by bit. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows gradually raised, she decided not to do such a childish thing. Moreover, she was the one who invented this childish action. She suddenly grabbed his shirt collar and tugged at it in a somewhat rude and domineering manner. She raised her head and whispered into his ear, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯ve been bullied by anyone in the Gu family for so many years. If anyone dares to snatch my things, I¡¯ll be the first to destroy them!¡± As she said that, she suddenly bit his chin lightly, and her eyes flashed with a sly and proud light like a cat. ¡°Whoever tries to snatch my husband will definitely suffer. I don¡¯t care if she¡¯s an international superstar or a female tycoon from somewhere. Anyway, her husband is mine, mine alone.¡± Anhao tilted her head and raised her eyebrows at the man who was looking down at her.¡±l was spoiled by you now. You have to take responsibility until the end. ¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be in charge of ¡¯till the end¡¯¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile was profound, and his eyes were even darker. He lowered his head and kissed Anhao when she realized that he had been taken advantage of verbally. At the same time, he pulled off the loose bathrobe on her body and did not even need to carry her back to the bedroom. He just stripped Anhao clean on the sofa. ¡°It¡¯s cold¡­¡¯ Anhao huddled in his arms and complained softly. Zuo Hancheng chuckled as he pressed his forehead against hers. His voice was clear and hoarse as it brushed against her lips.¡±Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll heat you up soon. ¡± Anhao had already declared that she had the upper hand. Of course, she decided to take the initiative this time. She was going to flip over and press Zuo Hancheng on top of her, wanting to strip him naked. However, just as she raised her hand to grab his shoulder and wanted to get up, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have seen through her intentions and did not let her succeed. He easily pressed her dishonest body down, bent down, and pressed her, who was already naked, into the soft corner of the sofa. ¡°Hubby, I want to be on top¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s movements were restricted, so she could only open her mouth to request. Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and kissed her lips. Just as Anhao¡¯s soul was about to fly away from the kiss, he laughed hoarsely at her lips.¡±lt depends on your ability!¡± Anhao was not convinced and wanted to get up immediately, but she was easily pressed down by him again. After a few twists and turns, her strength was almost exhausted. She wriggled around under him unwillingly, refusing to let him have his way. Zuo Hancheng obviously saw through her intentions and held her waist firmly on the sofa. Just as Anhao was about to retaliate, he suddenly felt his hand on her body. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s entire body stiffened, and her eyes instantly widened as she stared at the man in front of her who had a smug look on his face. ¡°King You! (Hooligan!¡± Because her lips were kissed, she could not speak clearly and completely. She could only curse incoherently while trying to turn her body away. At the same time, she struggled and said,¡±l want to be dirty from the Ang Year¡­ (I want to be on top¡­)¡± ¡°I told you, if you want to go up, you have to see your own ability. If you don¡¯t behave yourself, I¡¯ll make sure you can¡¯t get out of bed for the entire day tomorrow.¡±Zuo Hancheng threatened in a low voice as he withdrew his fingers even more threateningly. Anhao moaned a little because of his actions. She quickly turned her head away and emphasized with a reluctant expression,¡±One day, I will come back. Don¡¯t be complacent too early¡­Uh¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already gotten into the main topic. In an instant, Anhao¡¯s tone changed and she did not dare to make another sound. But what should he do? He couldn¡¯t control it, he couldn¡¯t control it at all. Zuo Hancheng even kissed her lips when she closed her mouth tightly, but it was not a simple kiss. It was as if he wanted to pry open her teeth to listen to her voice. He was so angry that he wanted to bite him, but he kissed her hard when she opened her mouth. After tossing and turning, her mouth went numb and she no longer had the strength to close it tightly. Her voice gradually escaped her mouth uncontrollably. The smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes became even more obvious. Anhao simply grabbed the pillow on the sofa and covered his face. However, this defenseless movement was easily dodged by him. At the same time, when Anhao retreated, she suddenly approached with the opposite force. The two of them rolled from the sofa to the carpet under the sofa. The moment they landed, Anhao¡¯s voice could not help but rise because of his abnormal ferocity¡­ ¡°Be gentle¡­¡± Anhao finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and cried, ¡°¡±Be gentle, I can¡¯t stand it¡­¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Zuo Hancheng readily agreed, but his actions were the opposite. Motherf * cker! Anhao was on the verge of breaking down. The voice that came out of her mouth was getting more and more disorderly. The man on top of her was purely a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. Usually, he would pamper her and give in to her, but he was completely in the dominant position in this matter. He did not give her any chance to ascend to the throne and become the Empress! ¡°You bastard, can¡¯t you let me be on top for once? Every time, he was suppressed so miserably! My legs are sore¡­¡± She resisted, but her voice betrayed her again and again. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and kissed her lips. He leaned over and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Baby, I love you..¡± Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: I Want To Be Above (6) Chapter 369: I Want To Be Above (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng chuckled and kissed her lips. He leaned over and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Baby, I love you.¡± Anhao¡¯s consciousness was already on the verge of dissipating after being torted by him. In an instant, she regained her consciousness and his voice echoed in her mind. Baby, I love you. Baby¡­ Love you¡­ This was the first time Zuo Hancheng had said the word ¡®love¡¯. Although all his actions in the past could completely prove the existence of this word, Anhao thought that a man of his age would not easily say love. Even if it was love, he would not express it so casually. She thought that he was just a person who followed his heart. However, he had told her that he loved her. Damn it, she felt like she was about to ascend to the heavens, okay? No, no, no, she was referring to the various soul-destroying actions that the two of them were doing now. He actually picked her up all of a sudden. During this process, she really felt like she was going to heaven! Anhao was directly pressed onto the bed by him. The moment the two of them fell onto the bed at the same time, it was a sour feeling. It was a soul-sucking feeling, and her voice was almost hoarse! ¡°amp;amp;%$#amp;amp;A%$@..¡±Anhao cursed at him with her mouth, but the sound that came out of her mouth still made her want to scratch him in embarrassment. Zuo Hancheng laughed softly and indulged her little mischief, but he did not give her a chance to turn around at all. He pressed her firmly against the bed, as if he was going to love her in the most intimate position until death. Later, Anhao asked him in a half-asleep state,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you a bull or a horse? Aren¡¯t you afraid of squeezing yourself dry first?¡± After that, Anhao once again tasted the price. Zuo Hancheng carried her straight into the bathroom. When he helped her bathe, he let her know clearly whether he would be squeezed dry by her. In the end, she surrendered. Alright, alright, alright. She was the one who was squeezed dry first! Her young and limited life was about to be completely dedicated to this marriage from this moment on. She had yet to touch Beckham¡¯s chest muscles, she had yet to kiss James¡¯s sexy lips, she had yet to sleep with Justin Theroux, and her life had just begun, and she was going to be squeezed dry just like that¡­ When Anhao was finally placed back on the bed, she was about to faint. In her groggy state, Zuo Hancheng asked her in a low voice, ¡°¡±Gu Anhao, you are a sponge.¡± Anhao thought it was strange when she heard it. What the hell was a sponge? However, she was too sleepy. She could not afford to serve a high-level creature like Zuo Hancheng. She quickly fell asleep in his arms. The next day, she was on leave. When she was alone at home, she remembered what Zuo Hancheng had said to her before she fell asleep last night. Although she knew that he was definitely trying to get revenge, she still went online to check. The result of the investigation was that the sponge was a brainless creature in the ocean. Ha, ha, da! If he scolded her for being brainless, he should have just said it directly, using such a roundabout and profound way of saying it! Are you trying to show off your high biology credits when you were young? Anhao turned off her computer and prepared to pack up the things that she needed to prepare for the start of school in ten days. Speaking of which, she had never prepared these things in the past. She really did not care about the books that she had bought beforehand, the new school uniform, or the various things that she had to do before school started. However, after all, she still planned to get into a good university. Although she didn¡¯t want to do the homework and test papers, she really should work hard after school started. As she was tidying up, she suddenly heard her phone vibrate. It seemed to have been vibrating for half an hour, but she thought she heard wrong and didn¡¯t take it seriously. Now that she had recovered, she thought that something urgent had happened. She ran back to the sofa and saw that there were 27 missed calls on the phone in the corner of the sofa. Anhao was a little stunned. This frequency of missed calls in half an hour clearly meant that something had happened! What happened? Was Huang Amao bullied by her superiors during her internship, or was Su Chunchun fired in advance? The way these two women bombarded him with phone calls was too scary! Anhao was just about to pick up her phone to call one of her cell phones back when her phone started vibrating again. This time, it was Huang Amao. She answered the phone with a confused look and placed it beside her ear. ¡°Why are you bombarding my phone so crazily?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you pick up? You scared me to death. I thought something happened to you!¡±Huang Amao immediately shouted when he heard Anhao¡¯s voice. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. What¡¯s wrong with you and Chunchun?¡± The last time she was bombarded with text messages was when Zuo Hancheng posted it on Facebook. However, not many people knew her number. After all, there were only a few people who had frequent contact with her over the years. Not many of her classmates knew her number, so the bombardment was not as serious as it was now. ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s voice was almost distorted. ¡°What should I know?¡± Anhao frowned.¡¯ ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that Rongxue? Is it that Alice Snow?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao paused for a moment before realizing that something had really happened. ¡°What happened to her? She was¡­Zuo Hancheng used to be his girlfriend when he was in the United States, but they broke up more than five years ago.¡± ¡°But she didn¡¯t say that in front of the media! Although she did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that there was a hidden meaning in her words. She meant that she had come between her and Zuo Hancheng. She was a mistress, and she had snatched Zuo Hancheng away. Then, she married Zuo Hancheng and became the current Mrs. Zuo!¡± Huang Amao said as he typed on the keyboard anxiously,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you have a news app on your phone? How could you not know about it until now? It had been almost an hour since the first piece of news was posted! All the news is pointing at you. Does Rong Xue want to kill you? Or do you want her fans to drown you in their saliva? Now, the netizens are all supporting Rongxue and condemning you, Mrs. Zuo, who stole Rongxue¡¯s old love and married Zuo Hancheng!¡± Huang Amao was so angry that he felt like he was about to have a heart attack.¡±Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good Don¡¯t go out for the next few days! Don¡¯t go for an internship! Stay at home obediently! Remember not to go out! One had to know that Rong Xue¡¯s words in front of the media had nothing to do with the truth. Her words were the truth! Moreover, she seemed to have been together with Zuo Hancheng in the past, which increased the credibility of her words..¡¯Don¡¯t go out, your life is more important!¡±¡® Chapter 370 - Chapter 370: I Want to Be Above (7) Chapter 370: I Want to Be Above (7) Translator: 549690339 It was only when Huang Amao hung un the Dhone that Anhao raised her head to look out the window. The sky was overcast. Spring had arrived, but it seemed like it was going to rain again. Just as she was about to put down her phone, it vibrated again. Seeing that it was Chunchun calling, she picked up the phone. Without waiting for Chunchun to lash out at her, she said,¡±l already know. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Chunchun choked on the words she was about to blurt out, but she was so angry that she was about to explode.¡±ls Alice really Boss Zuo¡¯s ex-girlfriend?!¡± ¡°Yeah, isn¡¯t she your goddess?¡± Anhao snorted. Do you want to help her destroy me? Since your goddess has spoken, as a fan, you should also make a move, right?¡± ¡°Get lost. I want to fly back to you now, but I still have two days to finish my internship. You don¡¯t know what kind of devil my parents arranged for me to supervise my internship. I¡¯ve been dying for the past two months, and now I can finally leave this place immediately.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched, but she didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°So, my dear, you have to make sure that your life doesn¡¯t end in these two days. Don¡¯t let anyone see you, especially Alice¡¯s fans! You have to know that fans are very cruel when they defend their idols. They can kill you at any minute. If you are seen by them on the road, they will be irrational and push you under the wheels!¡± After listening to Chunchun babbling on and on about a bunch of things and worrying about her safety, Anhao put down the phone and turned it off this time. She needs to be quiet After about five minutes, she got up and sat in front of the computer to search for entertainment news. As expected, she saw the news about her, Zuo Hancheng, and Rong Xue in the hottest column. There was also a photo of Rong Xue speaking to the media. Her expression was obviously forbearing, as if she felt pity and helpless. When she met Rong Xue at the company yesterday, Rong Xue smiled at her kindly, but she looked at her expressionlessly and coldly. The photo was frozen. Everyone thought that Rong Xue was kind and harmless and had no choice but to withdraw from the relationship when the mistress intervened. Everyone could see that Mrs. Zuo was a cold and pretentious woman. There was a lot of scolding below. Most of them said that she seduced men because she was young, and some said that she was so young. Anhao finally understood that her indifference yesterday had become a tool for Rong Xue to increase the direction of public opinion. It seemed that her internship would end today. She could not go to Shengling Group again. The logistics department was probably in a mess now. The other female employees who knew her and had seen her must be discussing these things. Besides, Rong Xue was already an inspirational goddess in the country. She was popular and loved by everyone. Men and women loved her. As for him, who would care if he, a nobody, spoke to the media? Not even a little strength? So she should be staying at home like this? One day? Two days? Or forever? She was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife, and there was nothing shameful about it. Why should she hide it just because she was Mrs. Zuo? Why did she have to endure it when Rong Xue attacked her in such a way? Anhao looked at the news on the internet indifferently, then deliberately looked at the media that the news belonged to. She realized that the media that first published the news was a large magazine company under Tiansheng Entertainment, which was very influential in the media industry. After finding the address of the company, Anhao got up and went to change. After thinking about it, she felt that her personal safety was indeed worth paying attention to. After all, if the fans were impulsive¡­ Even if he didn¡¯t kill her, he would scratch her face. Moreover, there were many curses on the Internet now, and she had become the target of many people overnight. Anhao went to find a pair of super large sunglasses and put them on. Then, she found a hat and put it on. Finally, she felt like she was treated like a celebrity. In the end, she was being chased for autographs and photos, while she was being chased for eggs. After she left the house, Anhao went to the roadside to hail a taxi with such a dignified appearance. The taxi driver felt that there was something wrong with her and did not pull her. Anhao held an umbrella and waited in the rain for a long time before she finally got a taxi. However, the broadcast in the taxi was playing entertainment news. ¡°On both ends of the earth, old love and new love, who exactly is clinging to them? A tycoon, the grandson of the Zuo family, where is your love? Let¡¯s watch the latest explosive entertainment news brought to you by the channel of FM10XX.XX¡­¡± Anhao suddenly glanced at the driver.¡± Uncle, you¡¯re listening to this kind of meaningless entertainment news?¡± Why don¡¯t you change to another one?¡± The taxi driver looked at her strangely and asked,¡±¡±You covered your face so tightly. Are you a celebrity?¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± No, it¡¯s not that. I¡¯m dressed like this because I have a rash on my face.¡±¡± ¡°Oh.¡± The driver looked at the radio station in the car with some disappointment.¡±Then you can change the channel yourself. I¡¯m fine with anything. ¡± Anhao immediately reached out to change the broadcast channel. Finally, she heard a channel that sold all kinds of health care treatments. When she heard the so-called doctors and so-called patients who were saved talking about it, for the first time, she felt that this kind of fake advertising health care program was so attractive! She finally arrived at the headquarters of the magazine company. When she got out of the car, she glanced at the high-rise building in front of her. She took out her phone and was about to check the time when she realized that her phone had been turned off for so long. She turned on her phone again and looked at the time. Then, she put her phone back into her bag and walked in. ¡°I want to see your managing editor.¡±¡® The staff at the front desk looked at her with a puzzled expression.¡±Excuse me¡­ You¡­ Anhao knew that she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to meet the managing editor in her current attire. If she stayed any longer, she might be mistaken for a terrorist and call the police. She simply took off her sunglasses and hat and glared at the shocked staff.¡±Do you recognize me? The other female lead in today¡¯s news about Alice Snow¡¯s relationship, my photo has been published in your magazine. Don¡¯t I have the right to meet your editor-in-chief and question the right to my portrait? After all, I¡¯m not a public figure, right?¡± Seeing how sharp Anhao¡¯s words were, the receptionist quickly stood up and dialed an unknown office. After whispering a few words, she looked up and said to Anhao,¡±¡±Please wait a moment. The editor-in-chief is not here at the moment, but the editor-in-chief of our entertainment news department can talk to you¡­ Anhao suddenly threw her phone heavily at the front desk, scaring the staff. She looked at the staff coldly.¡±What department head? I want to see the editor-in-chief of your magazine.. Don¡¯t you understand human language?¡± Chapter 371 - Chapter 371: I Want To Be Above (8) Chapter 371: I Want To Be Above (8) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s attitude was too cold. Moreover, no matter what the outside world said, she was still Mrs. Zuo after all. In the eyes of these people, she was still someone they could not afford to offend. Seeing her attitude again, the staff at the front desk did not dare to offend her, so she picked up the phone and called her superior again. As he was on the phone, he looked up at Anhao. Seeing Anhao frowning with a cold and impatient expression, he finally put down the phone and whispered, ¡®¡±¡®0ur editor-in-chief is on the eighth floor. Should I send you up or¡­¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go by myself.¡± Anhao took her phone back and entered the elevator without looking back. However, after entering the elevator, her phone suddenly rang, but it only rang twice before it went silent. It was the reason why the signal in the elevator was interrupted. She saw that the missed call showed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private number. When she reached the eighth floor, she walked out of the elevator and picked up her phone to call him as she walked quickly in the corridor. The phone was picked up after only one ring. Before Anhao could say anything, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep voice sounded, ¡®¡±Where is it?¡± Anhao looked expressionlessly in the direction of the managing editor¡¯s office. When she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, she guessed that he must have returned home after realizing that her phone was switched off. However, she was not at home. ¡°At XX Magazine¡¯s headquarters under XX Media.¡± After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, he said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. Wait for me to come over.¡¯ Anhao didn¡¯t say a word. After hanging up the phone, she walked straight ahead. When she reached the managing editor¡¯s office, she looked inside and saw that there was no one inside. She waited at the door for a while but no one came back. Did someone leak the news to the editor-in-chief and let him escape in advance? To avoid bumping into her? He knew that Mrs. Zuo was not someone to be trifled with. After all, she had a powerful background and backing. Yet, she dared to publish such groundless news first. Now, whether it was the major media, Weibo, or some large-scale publicity television, the news had already spread. This was a case of wanting to kill him overnight. It was impossible for the media to follow each other¡¯s lead and rush to report. Anhao waited for another two minutes before she turned around and left. When she was walking towards the elevator, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She did not turn back immediately, but turned her head slightly to look at the stairwell at the end of the corridor. She stood there for a while before she continued walking forward and entered the elevator. However, the elevator only reached the seventh floor before she came out. She turned around and walked into the stairwell at the end of the corridor. As soon as she reached the eighth floor, she saw a fat man with big ears standing there sneakily and looking out. Anhao walked up to the man with light footsteps. When she was behind the man, she suddenly raised her hand and patted his shoulder. ¡°Ah!¡± The man was so frightened that he let out a low cry. He turned his head abruptly and took a step back the moment he saw Anhao. Anhao caught a glimpse of his high-end suit and tie. When he looked at her in surprise and embarrassment, she smiled coldly.¡±¡±You¡¯re the chief editor of this entertainment magazine?¡± The man in front of her took a step back awkwardly and smiled carefully.¡±No, Miss, you¡¯ve got the wrong person.¡± ¡°Oh, I got the wrong person.¡± Anhao smiled and nodded. Just as he turned around to open the door and walk into the corridor, she grabbed his shoulder and pulled his fat body over. When he turned around and leaned against the wall in disbelief, he took a step forward and stared coldly at the shock in his eyes.¡±No? Do you think I¡¯m blind? I¡¯ve been waiting at your office door for so long just now. There are pictures and detailed introductions of your previous editors-in-chief hanging on the wall, including yours, of course. Chief Editor Xu, you don¡¯t have to be so low-key. I¡¯m just here to ask about the situation. I won¡¯t do anything to you.¡± Chief Editor Xu only knew that Mrs. Zuo had come looking for him. He wanted to hide for a while to avoid any conflict. However, he did not expect that this Mrs. Zuo would have such good skills at such a young age. He, a grown man, was so easily defeated by her. Moreover, this young lady¡¯s aura was completely different from what he had imagined. ¡°Left¡­ Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± Chief Editor Xu¡¯s expression was a little stiff as he said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk it out. You, you¡­ What is this?¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t hide, would I have to do this?¡±Anhao snorted and moved her foot away from his. She took a step back and said expressionlessly, ¡°¡±Your grandaunt is much more restrained now. If it was half a year ago, I would have blown your head off without saying a word.¡± ¡°What is Mrs. Zuo doing? Why can¡¯t we solve this peacefully? Why use violence to solve the problem¡­¡± ¡°Violence?¡± Anhao laughed again. Do you know what true violence is now? Hmm?¡± Chief Editor Xu didn¡¯t say anything and just took a step to the side. Anhao suddenly took another step forward, scaring him so much that he obediently leaned back against the wall. Putting aside the fact that Zuo Hancheng was the little girl¡¯s backer, just by the fact that she was fearless and dared to go out today, he knew that this little girl was capable of anything. ¡°Cyber violence! Violent language! Fan violence! Mental violence!¡± Anhao said these words with a cold face. When Chief Editor Xu¡¯s expression became a little awkward, she pursed her lips again, but the smile did not reach her eyes. ¡°You have someone backing you up, right? Is that why you dared to publish Zuo Hancheng¡¯s scandal? You even dare to ruin my reputation as Mrs. Zuo?¡± As she spoke, she raised her leg and blocked his way just as he was about to turn around and leave.¡±lf you don¡¯t want to die, immediately remove those messy news and use today¡¯s public method to clarify the truth and apologize to me!¡± ¡°This, Mrs. Zuo, you¡¯re being too serious. Everyone is spreading this like crazy now. We¡¯ll follow the trend and publish whatever news has a lot of traffic.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already checked. The first person to publish this news was your magazine. Of course, your media company is also above it. Above that is Tiansheng Entertainment, the company behind Rongxue. You¡¯re manipulating it single-handedly. Are you trying to make Rongxue more popular in the country and trample me, a non-public figure, into the mud?!¡± ¡°No, Mrs. Zuo, since you¡¯re not a public figure, why are you still worried about this? Besides, those are just the speculations of those people on the Internet. We didn¡¯t say that in the report. It¡¯s just that whatever Rongxue said in the interview, we¡¯ll just narrate her words and publish it. We definitely have no intention of slandering you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this useless stuff.. Who doesn¡¯t know how to play tricks? Do you think you can fool me easily just because you look like you¡¯ve walked more bridges than I have? Since I came to your door today, I have no intention of letting it go!¡± Chapter 372 - Chapter 372: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (1) Chapter 372: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (1) Translator: 549690339 Chief Editor Xu¡¯s gaze paused for a moment. He did not quibble anymore and just looked at her carefully. ¡°One sentence. Are you going to delete it or not?¡± Anhao glared at him and pointed at his face.¡±¡±Let me tell you, don¡¯t think that you can be so lawless just because you have Tiansheng Entertainment backing you up. I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo, and Zuo Hancheng is my husband. Even if he¡¯s the only backer I have, even if you think that I only have Zuo Hancheng to back me up, I¡¯m happy to do so! I only have one Zuo Hancheng, but this Zuo Hancheng can make you go bankrupt in minutes. Do you believe it?¡± Chief Editor Xu¡¯s face turned pale. This was just an entertainment media report. There was no need to make it so serious, right?¡± ¡°My personal safety has been threatened. Isn¡¯t that serious? How could that be considered serious? Is my life not my life? My life is worthless?¡± Anhao snorted. Then, just as he was about to reach into his pocket to take his phone, she suddenly snatched it away. When he looked through his recent call history, he saw that there were only some numbers that were not saved. There were no names. It seemed that the person behind this was quite careful and mysterious. ¡°Do you want to delete it?¡± She didn¡¯t want to waste any more time. The longer the news appeared on the Internet, the greater the threat to her personal safety. This was no f * cking joke! Chief Editor Xu looked at her hesitantly. When Anhao narrowed her eyes at him, he nodded slowly.¡±delete¡­l¡¯ll delete it¡­ I¡¯ll delete it after tonight¡­l¡¯ll definitely delete it after midnight!¡± ¡°F * Ck you!¡± Anhao was instantly annoyed. She almost slapped him.¡±Your news has such good views on the internet and the viewership ratings in the television station are also so high. In order to earn another day¡¯s money, you naturally chose to delay until night! If that kind of news persisted until midnight, did you want me to be chased to my house?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, Mrs. Zuo, calm down! This is really not something that I can decide alone. After all, although I¡¯m the editor-in-chief, this kind of thing requires many of our internal high-level management to make a unified decision before it can be deleted. After all, the news is there every day. If today¡¯s news is deleted, it will create a gap, and our company will¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care if you have time or not. Even if you get fired today, you have to delete the news and immediately send a clarification message. If you lie to me again or find an excuse, you can make me kneel down and record a video. I¡¯ll let you kneel here and tell the truth while kowtowing and apologizing. When the time comes, I¡¯ll post it online. Do you believe that it¡¯ll be more explosive than your news?¡± Chief Editor Xu was obviously really scared this time. As a media person, he naturally knew what kind of news people liked to watch and what kind of events they liked to exaggerate the most. ¡°Can you give me one last hour?¡±Chief Editor Xu said carefully,¡± Even if we delete it now, we have to go through the computer room and the relevant personnel to sign it. This process will take at least an hour.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Fifteen minutes.¡± Anhao answered without hesitation. Chief Editor Xu immediately put on a long face. Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± ¡°Just fifteen minutes. If you don¡¯t even want fifteen minutes, then fine.¡±Anhao took out her phone. One, kneel down and clarify the truth and apologize to me. Two, follow me to the police station. The news media nowadays was not as chaotic as it used to be. If you dare to make false reports or maliciously attack them, the law can directly punish you!¡± Chief Editor Xu quickly nodded.¡± Okay, okay. Fifteen minutes. I¡¯ll call someone to delete it now!¡±¡® ¡°It¡¯s not enough to just delete it. There¡¯s also clarification!¡± .. Alright.¡± Chief Editor Xu gritted his teeth as if his heart ached.¡±Clear!¡± Only then did Anhao let him go and took a step back to give him some space to leave.¡±¡±Fifteen minutes, starting now.¡±She looked at the time on her phone. Chief Editor Xu quickly turned around and left. Anhao went back to the door of the managing editor¡¯s office to wait. After about five minutes, Managing Editor Xu hurriedly walked back and smiled at her.¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, I¡¯ve already instructed them to delete it immediately and release a clarification message.¡± ¡°How long?¡± ¡°It will be done in ten minutes.¡± Editor Xu smiled and said,¡± This matter is really not good. Actually, there is no one manipulating behind it. It is just that the small reporter in our company is too anxious to publish the results, so he wrote it randomly. Mrs. Zuo, you don¡¯t remember the small person. I apologize to you here.¡±¡® ¡°Heh.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She sneered and rolled her eyes, then turned around and walked towards the elevator. She did not want to stay in this foul place for even a second longer. When the elevator reached the first floor, she looked at her phone again. Zuo Hancheng did not call again. He should be on his way here, right? The staff on the first floor was about to bring her a disposable cup of water, but Anhao didn¡¯t have a good impression of the people here, so she went around them and walked out. These people were shameless. In order to rely on the news, they relied on various media index and advertisements to make money. Their hearts were already black! She was about to hail a cab when she walked out of the door, but she suddenly saw a group of media reporters holding cameras and crowding around her. The moment her feet froze, the recording pens and microphones almost stabbed into her mouth, and the cameras were so close to her face. Anhao looked at the reporters with an ugly expression. She could guess that Chief Editor Xu had used five minutes to retaliate. As expected of the media, it was not so easy to deal with them! Using violence to subdue violence? ¡°Hello, are you Mrs. Zuo? Why are you here? I heard that you¡¯re here to settle scores with XX magazine¡¯s editor-in-chief? And he even threatened to kill him if he didn¡¯t delete the news, right?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, what do you think of the reports today? Is there anything else you want to say?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, did you really intervene between President Zuo and Alice and cause them to break up?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you should have heard of the sensational love between President Zuo and Alice. Did you know about the relationship between him and Alice when you married Zuo Hancheng? Please answer our questions!¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, when did you and Zuo Hancheng get married? Had Alice already come to China to develop her career when they got married? Do you know why Alice left everything in America to develop in China?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you stole an international superstar¡¯s boyfriend to become your husband. Do you have anything to explain? At such a young age, you¡¯re already interfering with someone else¡¯s feelings.. Don¡¯t you feel embarrassed?¡± Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (2) Chapter 373: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡± Mrs. Zuo, please don¡¯t avoid our question. XX TV Station and XXX Entertainment are doing a live broadcast. Now, we can see the situation here directly on the Internet and TV. I hope Mrs. Zuo can tell us¡­¡± Anhao held her bag tightly as she endured. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, is being a mistress so blissful? Did you log into President Zuo¡¯s Facebook account and post that photo on his Facebook account not long ago?¡± ¡°Yeah, after all, President Zuo is such a low-key person who has never posted a word on Facebook, a place where the world¡¯s attention is on, but he suddenly posted a photo of you and said that this is his wife. He even replied to one of the netizens that you are very beautiful and cute.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you look very smart. Your methods must be superb. May I ask how you managed to snatch a figure like Zuo Hancheng away from Alice?¡± Anhao was expressionless at first, but she suddenly smiled and kept smiling as she looked at the cameras. He looked at them one by one and raised his eyebrows. Which camera should I smash first? Which one was the most expensive? Of course, he had to smash the expensive ones first! Just as she was about to take a step down from the steps in front of the door, she suddenly heard a commotion behind the reporters. Then, she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car had stopped not far away and was heading in this direction. She stopped her action of smashing things, lifted her hand to take off her hat, and looked in his direction. The reporters immediately turned all their cameras in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Even though Zuo Hancheng had never shown any pictures in the media, many people had already posted some of the photos taken during his early interviews in the United States today. Now, everyone knew the true face of the mysterious Zuo Hancheng. After the news that had been spreading like wildfire for a day, these people recognized him at a glance. ¡°Mr. Zuo, what do you think about today¡¯s incident? Can you tell us in detail?¡± ¡°President Zuo, did you specially come here to put pressure on XX magazine¡¯s editor-in-chief?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, are you here to help your wife out? It seems that you really love your wife? What about Alice? She was once the only official girlfriend you announced to the public, and your relationship was once in America¡­¡± Ignoring the words around him, Zuo Hancheng had already passed through the crowd and arrived in front of Anhao. Anhao looked at him. Before she could say anything, his hand was already holding hers. ¡°Don¡¯t talk. Follow me obediently.¡± He said in a deep voice and then pulled her out. When the reporters surrounded them, he glanced at them coldly with an expressionless face. ¡± Mr. Zuo, Mrs. Zuo, please answer the media¡¯s questions. As a Chinese superstar in Hollywood, there must be a reason why Alice is willing to return to China to develop her career. We believe that it must be because Alice still has feelings for you, Mr. Zuo, but Mrs. Zuo¡¯s interference caused the¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng wrapped his arms around Anhao¡¯s shoulders and protected her in his arms. When the cameras came closer to their faces, he raised his hand and pressed Anhao¡¯s head against his chest. He used his hand to protect her entire body to prevent those people from continuing to hurt her. When those people chased after her to the car, he stuffed Anhao into the car. When he closed the door, he turned around and looked at the reporters who were still pestering him.¡±l will use the same method to give a reasonable answer in front of the media. Please calm down. My wife is not a public figure, so you should find a clear target when you ask.¡± ¡°Is Mr. Zuo protecting his wife? It seems that Mrs. Zuo has really occupied Mr. Zuo¡¯s heart. I¡¯m very curious how she did it. After all, she must have used some method to snatch such an outstanding man like you away from the equally outstanding Alice¡­ ¡± Anhao was about to open the car door and get out of the car. However, Zuo Hancheng closed the door for her the moment she opened it. Anhao raised her eyes and stared at his back. Seeing that he was not letting her face the media, she knew that he was protecting her, but she really couldn¡¯t stand being framed like this! ¡°Mr. Zuo, what happened between you, Mrs. Zuo, and Alice¡­¡± ¡°Since everyone is so eager to know the truth, I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll find out the truth.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said coldly, ¡®¡±Why don¡¯t you check my wife¡¯s age first? She¡¯s twenty years old this year.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was finally willing to explain in detail, the people around him immediately quieted down and pointed their cameras at him. ¡°Rongxue and I did have a past in the United States, but only we know the exact truth and insider information. Moreover, the media reports in the United States back then were already untrue. It was just that Rongxue was celebrating something back then, so I didn¡¯t care about the exaggerated news.¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, do you mean that although you and Rongxue were once together, your relationship was not as deep as the rumors in the American media?¡± ¡°Humans aren¡¯t cold-blooded. Since we¡¯ve been together before, we¡¯ll naturally appreciate each other. However, five years ago, when I left the United States with Shengling Group, I had already broken up with Rongxue. At that time, there were already rumors in the American media that proved that Rongxue and I had indeed broken off contact five years ago.¡± ¡°So Mr. Zuo was already together with Mrs. Zuo five years ago? Did Mr. Zuo move Shengling Group back to China for Mrs. Zuo?¡± Hearing this question, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face suddenly turned into a cold smile. He glanced at the reporter and said,¡±¡±Do you still remember what I said just now? My wife is twenty years old this year.¡± A few reporters around him seemed to have understood. They did not say anything for a moment and just raised their cameras to face him. Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao also quieted down in the car and did not plan to go out again. ¡°Five years ago, my wife was only 15 years old. I even broke up with Rongxue more than five years and seven or eight months ago. My wife was only 14 years old and had just entered the first year of junior high school. I was in America, and she was in China. If she had interfered in my relationship five years ago, would I be a pedophile in your eyes or would I be able to get to know a fourteen-year-old girl across the sea?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± The surrounding reporters were stunned for a moment. They did not expect the truth to be like this. ¡°Rongxue is a public figure. You can make all kinds of guesses based on her words and exaggerate them to hype up the news. But how innocent is my wife? We¡¯ve only known each other for a few months, and we got married not long after we met.. It doesn¡¯t seem like we¡¯ll be attacked by morality no matter what we do?¡± Chapter 374 - Chapter 374: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (3) Chapter 374: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°On the contrary, as a public media figure, shouldn¡¯t Miss Rong also examine herself? If they did not give a reasonable answer to today¡¯s blunder, the feud between Shengling Group and Tiansheng Entertainment would be formed!¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he glanced at the person who was still trying to move the camera closer to him.¡±¡±The media and public opinion can kill a person directly. If my wife is hurt more because of today¡¯s incident, or if her heart is traumatized, I won¡¯t be so easy to talk to!¡± After saying that, he turned around with a cold expression.¡±Everyone, the interview can end now. If you want to know anything, you don¡¯t have to ask around non-public figures. In my company, people who don¡¯t have professional ethics will only end up being fired.¡± The cameras around him were instantly lowered, and no one dared to point a recording pen at him. Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded calm and he did not scold or threaten anyone, the force in his words could not be underestimated. For a moment, no one dared to offend him again, so they all retreated a little. ¡°But Mr. Zuo, Miss Rong clearly still has feelings for you. This matter¡­ What else¡­ ¡± ¡°From the perspective of relationships, after a breakup, one party gets married and the other party misses the old relationship, so the married party should be attacked by public opinion? I haven¡¯t contacted Miss Rong for five years. Whether or not there¡¯s an unforgettable relationship is another person¡¯s business. As for my wife, there¡¯s no reason for her to be treated so unreasonably by everyone.¡± When the reporters heard this, they stopped talking and looked in the direction of the car. She couldn¡¯t see Mrs. Zuo through the car window, but Anhao could see them. The reporters hesitated for a moment before nodding at Anhao, who was in the car, and said,¡±¡±Sorry, Mrs. Zuo.¡± Anhao did not respond, nor did she roll down the window. She only looked at Zuo Hancheng who was outside the car. He stands at the door side of the car, he stands outside, all the people are blocking, he stands, he hates the most, the way faces these so-called media people, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands, he stands Those cameras were connected to the live broadcast. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words had probably spread by now. The rumors about Rong Xue¡¯s side would gradually be suppressed. However, Rong Xue had completely offended Zuo Hancheng because of this method. Although Zuo Hancheng had not paid any attention to Rong Xue before, he had never really hurt her, which was considered a form of mercy. However, at this moment, in order to protect himself, he did not intend to show any mercy to Rong Xue in front of the media. The reporters stopped trying to stop him. Zuo Hancheng did not even look at them and opened the door to the front passenger seat. After he got into the car, Anhao looked at his back as she sat in the car. She wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she did not say anything. Zuo Hancheng did not turn back to look at her. Just as he was about to start driving, his phone rang. Anhao looked at his phone and saw that he did not pick up. She guessed who was calling. That was a live broadcast. Rong Xue must have been paying attention to all the news throughout the day. She must have seen the live broadcast. Rong Xue had slapped Anhao in the face in front of the media, and Zuo Hancheng had slapped Rong Xue in the face in front of the media. It seemed like a draw, but in fact, Rong Xue had suffered a crushing defeat in an instant. At this moment, Anhao should be cheering for victory, or even running to the front to hug her husband and kiss him. However, seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold, she guessed that he was in a bad mood because of what happened today. She did not show off and just picked up her phone to look at the messages that Huang Amao and Chunchun had sent her. The entire screen was filled with Likes for the left BOSS! Zuo Dada, who filled the entire screen, is the ultimate idol of my life! The screen was filled with the left BOSS! The entire screen was filled with our Anhao being avenged! Anhao burst into laughter and replied to the two of them with her phone. At the same time, she secretly took a photo of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back as he drove and sent it to them. She said proudly, ¡°¡±Come and worship!¡± The reply he received was Chunchun¡¯s emoji of red kissing lips in the group chat. Huang Amao commented on how handsome he was, and it was accompanied by questions. Why did Zuo Dada¡¯s expression not look too beautiful? Was he in a bad mood because he was provoked? However, he was also very handsome when he was angry. Only when he was angry, his back was also very handsome. Muah, muah, muah, so much admiration! Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± It seems that I don¡¯t have to go out with a mask anymore. I thought that I might really have to stay at home and cultivate in seclusion before the public opinion subsided. However, this matter has changed too quickly. I haven¡¯t digested it yet¡­¡± ¡°Digest what? Hurry up and hug Zuo Dada and give him a fierce kiss. Do well tonight and let your husband see your sincerity!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at her phone. When she looked up, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was still driving with a cold expression on his face. It was obvious that he did not even notice her giggling behind the car. Had he really been provoked? Why was his expression so ugly? How angry was he? Anhao lowered her head awkwardly and typed, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s not good for hubby to be angry. What should we do?¡± After two seconds of silence, the group received two identical responses. Huang Amao and Su Chunchun: ¡± It¡¯s not good for hubby to be angry all the time. It¡¯s mostly because he¡¯s spoiled. Just beat him up to death.¡±¡® Just a moment ago, the two of them were still smitten, and in the blink of an eye, they were going to use violence to solve the problem! Before Anhao could type, Chunchun said,¡±¡±No, no, I can¡¯t beat up Zuo Dada. I¡¯ll be the first to quit if anyone dares to beat me up! Then just kiss me to death!¡± Huang Amao was speechless. Anhao was speechless. When Anhao put down her phone, she looked up and saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone was still ringing. He did not pick up the call. After repeating this for countless times, he even ignored his earphones and picked up the phone. His voice was as cold as Hanchuan¡¯s.¡±lt¡¯s useless to say more. Take care of yourself. ¡± With that, he put his phone on silent mode and put it in the glove compartment beside the car. Damn, her husband was so handsome! Anhao was almost smitten. Suddenly, she looked at his side profile.¡±You can breathe a sigh of relief now that the matter has been resolved. I¡¯m not even angry anymore, so why are you still angry?¡± Zuo Hancheng drove the car and said without turning back, ¡°¡±Don¡¯t be so rash next time. If there¡¯s anything, discuss it with me first. You only met the reporters today. If you meet Rongxue¡¯s fan club on the road, can you imagine the consequences?¡± ¡°At most, I¡¯ll be thrown eggs or pushed under the wheels by a group of people.¡±Anhao said lightly. In fact, when faced with a group of irrational fans whose thoughts had not yet reached the mature stage, everything was really scary.. Chapter 375 - Chapter 375: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (4) Chapter 375: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (4) Translator: 549690339 Even though the public opinion had been quelled by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s departure. However, Rong Xue¡¯s fans were still supporting their idol. They were making all sorts of sarcastic remarks on the internet and major forums. Anyway, Anhao must have used some kind of seductive method to marry someone like Zuo Hancheng at such a young age. Their Rong Xue would not compete with a young lady so shamelessly. It was just that other people were overthinking things. Their Rong Xue was the white snow of spring, an international superstar, a national idol, and an inspirational goddess¡­ There were no good things to say in the mouths of the fans who defended their idols. Anhao was too lazy to go online and argue with them. Anyway, the public now believed that she was innocent. As for the small fans, it didn¡¯t matter. She wasn¡¯t a dollar, so she didn¡¯t need everyone to like her. Zuo Hancheng left after sending her back to Liu Jing Garden. Anhao did not ask him where he was going. After all, he was not going on a date with his ex-girlfriend or a mistress. On the other hand, Chunchun, who originally couldn¡¯t return to City A right now, said that she had just gotten the devil¡¯s **** and was allowed to return to City A two days earlier, ending her internship. The devil that Chunchun was talking about seemed to be a relative of her parents or a friend. He was about the same age as Zuo Hancheng, about 30 years old. He seemed to be the behind-the-scenes person in charge of a listed company. In any case, he was a tycoon who had returned from overseas. In the most popular and most common words now, he was an invisible rich man, a low-key rich man. It was not hard to imagine that a little vixen like Chunchun, who was even crazier than herself, had been thrown into a strange city by her parents and handed over to a man who was twelve years older than her. More importantly, that man was especially ruthless. It was as if Chunchun had been tortured for the past two months until she was neither human nor ghost. Every time they chatted, he would describe her as a demon king. Of course, Anhao wasn¡¯t much better off now, so she didn¡¯t have the time to listen to Chunchun¡¯s tragic experiences and stories in the past two months. However, Chunchun said that she would be back in the afternoon and would arrive in A City at six or seven o¡¯clock in the evening. She said that she had finally finished her internship and was in a good mood to come back and find a bar to drink with them. The little bullies in the three schools had been controlled for the past two months until they had barely touched a drop of alcohol. Now, they were like little beasts who wanted to behave atrociously for a few days before school started. Chunchun also said that because Anhao had been vindicated in one day and Zuo Hancheng had supported her, they were going to celebrate together. They were going to the biggest, best, and most upscale bar or nightclub in A City to have fun. Coincidentally, Zuo Hancheng said that he was handling a project that had been delayed due to the negligence of his employees and would not be back at night. Anhao also seized the time to act wildly with them. 8 PM. City A, Night Banquet Bar. The reason why she didn¡¯t open the nightclub in Winnar was because Anhao was already traumatized about that nightclub. Besides, the Night Banquet Bar was the most luxurious bar in A City. Most of the successful people gathered here, and she would occasionally bump into a few big and small celebrities. Moreover, this was the place where Anhao and Zuo Hancheng first met. It was of great significance, so when the three women were considering where to go, Anhao chose this place. There were a lot of people in the bar tonight, and there were no empty rooms in the private rooms. They could only find a seat in the hall and order more than ten bottles of various colors of wine, two large fruit plates, popcorn, and a bunch of delicious snacks. The hall was relatively noisy, but it was also exciting. A group of handsome men and beautiful women were dancing on the dance floor in front of them. There were also people singing on the stage. Sometimes, the song was violent, and sometimes, it was quiet. It was as if they were in a bar, making people feel relaxed and happy. Chunchun was already drunk. She raised the bottle and began to blow. You guys don¡¯t know that the big demon king has a lot of scary. Oh right¡­ His underwear only had one color! They were all black! And there was only one style! Such a stubborn and single-minded man was too scary!¡± Anhao spat out a mouthful of wine. Huang Amao looked at Chunchun, who was already drunk, and asked,¡±¡±No way! Did the devil give you¡­You gave it to me¡­¡¯ Chunchun waved her hand. No! I did go to his place twice to deliver things and happened to see him taking a shower. Then¡­ One time, I went to touch his wardrobe and saw a pile of black underwear of the same style. Hahahahaha!¡± However, as she spoke, her face turned a little red. No one knew what she was thinking about, and no one knew if her red face was because she had drunk too much or because she was thinking about the devil. However, Chunchun was usually such a crazy person. She dared to discuss men¡¯s underwear in a big way, so Anhao and Huang Amao did not ask much. The corner of Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched as he said, ¡®¡±¡® Both of you have people bringing you guys to work as interns. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s working as an intern intern in a relative¡¯s company. All of them have big eyes. I¡¯m almost being abused. Why haven¡¯t I met a CEO husband like Boss Zuo? Why haven¡¯t I met a demon king¡­ As she spoke, she raised the bottle and started drinking.!!!!¡± Anhao also took a few sips of wine. Suddenly, she saw a few figures walking back and forth from the corner of her eye. They seemed to be talking about something. She turned around and saw the tall foreign man who was beside Rongxue talking to a few other men. He seemed to be in a bad mood and was discussing something about the company. After that, Anhao saw Rong Xue walking out of the bathroom. She seemed to have just vomited and her stomach was not feeling well. She was staggering and her long hair covered her face so that others could not see her face clearly. She did not seem to have any makeup on, and the lights here were all different colors, so others might not be able to recognize her. If Anhao hadn¡¯t seen the foreign man just now, she might not have recognized Rong Xue. But why did Rong Xue come here to drink? He seemed to have drunk quite a bit. He also seemed to be drunk¡­ Was it because of what happened today? Rong Xue had been in Hollywood for so many years, so shouldn¡¯t she be able to take a hit? As for running out to drink like this, and even drinking until he vomited? Why was he so drunk and swaying? Rong Xue was leaning against the wall. She felt a little uncomfortable and weak. She did not know what she was saying to the foreign man. The foreign man picked up the phone and called someone. Anhao did not find it interesting. Anyway, this place was so big that Rongxue might not be able to find her. About half an hour later, Chunchun and Huang Amao were clinking glasses when suddenly, Chunchun squinted her eyes drunkenly and looked outside..¡±¡±Eh? Isn¡¯t that the left BOSS? Why is he here?¡± Chapter 376 - Chapter 376: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (5) Chapter 376: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao turned her head around when she heard that. She initially thought that it was Chunchun¡¯s drunken words, but she really saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure appear at the entrance of the Night Banquet Bar and walk straight in. He obviously did not notice the messy card bags in the bar lobby and walked straight to Rong Xue and the men. When Rong Xue saw him coming, she was squatting on the ground in discomfort. Suddenly, she stood up shakily and wanted to walk towards him. However, her legs were weak and her stomach seemed to have been hurt from drinking too much. She fell into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms as soon as she reached him. Zuo Hancheng caught her and held her up. He leaned over and whispered something into Rong Xue¡¯s ear, but Rong Xue immediately raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck. Her entire body was hanging on his body, and she was even closer to him. Chunchun and Huang Amao immediately sobered up and looked in the same direction as Anhao. They saw Rong Xue hugging him in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and seemed to be crying. Not only did Zuo Hancheng not push her away, but he also said a few words to the men behind her. Then, he suddenly picked Rong Xue up by the waist and carried her out of the bar. The moment Zuo Hancheng picked Rong Xue up, Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she quickly descended to the bottom of the glacier. Chunchun and Huang Amao looked away in shock and exchanged glances. Huang Amao¡¯s mps tremmea as ne wmsperea,¡±¡±Just now¡­ IS It LUO Hancnengf¡± Chunchun also whispered, ¡°It should be¡­¡± He just looked like her¡­That can¡¯t be Zuo Hancheng, right?¡± Anhao held the wine glass in her hand and looked at the men indifferently. Then, she looked at the door where Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue had disappeared. She put down the wine glass and stood up. Chunchun and Huang Amao rushed forward to stop her.¡±¡±Anhao, Anhao, don¡¯t be rash!¡± Anhao looked in the direction of the door and said in an unusually calm voice,¡±¡±l¡¯m not being impulsive. I¡¯m going to see if it¡¯s really Zuo Hancheng!¡± How could it not be? That was clearly Zuo Hancheng! There would never be such a melodramatic thing in this world. The misunderstanding of discovering that there was another person in the world who looked exactly the same could only be seen in television dramas! That face, that expression, and the clothes he wore in front of the camera today all proved that Zuo Hancheng was not wrong. Huang Amao and Chunchun were just spouting nonsense because they couldn¡¯t believe it, but seeing Anhao like this, the two of them hurriedly pulled her back.¡±¡±Anhao, don¡¯t be anxious. Zuo Hancheng said that in front of the media today, so he must be protecting you and loving you. But we don¡¯t know what happened to Rongxue yet, so don¡¯t be rash!¡± ¡°No matter what the situation is, Rongxue is a b * tch. It was a child! Someone else¡¯s husband also wanted to snatch it! Do you have any moral limits!¡± Huang Amao added. Anhao looked in that direction expressionlessly. She suddenly raised her hand to shake off their hands, turned around, and rushed out. ¡°Anhao!¡± ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t be rash¡­ When Anhao ran to the entrance of the Night Banquet Bar, she did not see Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue. She looked around and did not see them, not even in the direction of the parking lot. She did not see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car either. He had already left with Rong Xue. Huang Amao and Chunchun ran out and saw that An was standing there like a wooden statue. They hurriedly went up to her and said,¡±¡±Anhao, don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. Give him a call and ask him why.¡± Anhao did not move. She looked around but could not find Zuo Hancheng. Chunchun panicked and went straight to Anhao¡¯s bag to find her phone. She picked it up and found Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number before calling him for her. When the call went through, Chunchun quickly put the phone into Anhao¡¯s ear.¡±¡±Anhao, please calm down. Don¡¯t be anxious and don¡¯t scold others. I believe that Zuo Hancheng must have his reasons.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t move. The phone rang for seven to eight times, but no one picked up. Just before the call was about to hang up automatically, it was finally picked up. ¡°Anhao?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded very calm. Anhao looked at the busy streets and asked softly, ¡°¡±Are you in the company?¡± There seemed to be a moment of silence on the other end. Zuo Hancheng did not answer immediately. After a moment, he said patiently and slowly, ¡°¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid of being alone at home?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re scared, watch TV. I¡¯ll go back tomorrow morning. If you¡¯re tired, go to bed early.¡± His voice was extremely gentle, just like the usual Zuo Hancheng. But who was the man who carried Rong Xue away just now? That was definitely not Zuo Hancheng¡­ It must not be¡­ ¡°Aren¡¯t you at the company?¡± Anhao asked again stubbornly. She wanted to know if Zuo Hancheng would lie to her. However, after a moment of silence, he replied gently, ¡°Be good and sleep early. You¡¯ll see me tomorrow morning.¡± Anhao sniffed quietly and grinned.¡±¡±Alright.¡¯ Then, she lowered her head. Chunchun saw her lowering her head habitually when she hung up the phone, so she quickly took the phone and hung up. She then looked at Anhao.¡±How is it? Anhao? What did Zuo Dada say?¡± ¡°Nothing much.¡± Anhao answered calmly and walked straight to the roadside. ¡°Anhao, where are you going?¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao hurriedly pulled her back.¡±¡±Little Aunt, what happened? What did Zuo Hancheng say? It¡¯s not right for you to be so calm. Say something. Where are you going?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡± He said he¡¯ll be back tomorrow morning,¡± An Hao said softly.¡± If I go home, I¡¯ll see him tomorrow morning.¡± Anhao walked to the roadside without looking back. Chunchun panicked and grabbed her arm to pull her back.¡±What home? How can you go home in this state? Let¡¯s go and drink. Since you¡¯ll be back tomorrow morning, we¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow morning. You can¡¯t leave us now! ¡± ¡°Right, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go drink!¡± Huang Amao also came forward to pull Anhao back. Anhao didn¡¯t move. Her eyes were still calm, and her voice was also calm.¡±Alright, let¡¯s drink.¡± ¡°Could it be that she deliberately used this drunk method to beg Zuo Hancheng to come?¡± ¡°How can Zuo Hancheng be such a person without a mind of his own? There were so many bodyguards around her. She was drunk and nothing had happened. Why would he come over?¡± ¡°But he just had to come!¡± While Huang Amao and Chunchun were arguing, Anhao did not say anything and went straight back to the bar. The bodyguards around Rongxue were still inside and saw her when she walked in. Especially the foreign man who had seen Anhao before. When he saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise. Anhao¡¯s calm gaze swept across their faces before she turned around and sat down in her card bag.. Chapter 377 - Chapter 377: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (6) Chapter 377: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao picked up the wine glass but didn¡¯t drink it. She just looked at the wine in the glass and sat there motionlessly. No one knew what she was thinking. Chunchun quickly walked over and snatched the cup from her hand.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go. If you¡¯re not satisfied, we can ask those men where Rong Xue and Zuo Hancheng went! Let¡¯s go find them directly!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. That Rongxue is full of tricks. What if something happens tonight? Let¡¯s go find him now! Anhao, we¡¯ll go with you!¡± Huang Amao also came over and sat beside Anhao, holding her hand. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just glanced at the coffee table in front of her and then turned to look at the men. She saw that they had already walked into the private room and seemed to have no intention of caring about these things anymore. However, they obviously did not intend to call Rong Xue and Zuo Hancheng to tell them that they had seen her here. ¡°Where can we find one?¡± She looked at the closed door of the private room.¡±l¡¯m not as capable as Zuo Hancheng. As long as I want to find someone, I can easily find their GPS location. ¡°Even if we take a taxi and search the nearby hotels one by one, it¡¯s better than sitting here in a daze! Anhao, even if you¡¯re willing, Huang Amao and I aren¡¯t! ¡°Chunchun was so angry that her face turned red.¡± Chunchun grabbed Anhao¡¯s hand. Anhao did not move.¡± It¡¯s impossible for Rongxue to stay in a hotel. She¡¯s in the limelight now and is a celebrity that everyone can recognize. Zuo Hancheng would not bring her to a hotel. After all, it¡¯s easy to be photographed.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Then where does Rongxue live?¡± Anhao shook her head. How could she know? Perhaps Zuo Hancheng knew about it, even though she did not seem to care about Rong Xue and did not pay attention to her. No matter how exaggerated the media had described his relationship with Rong Xue when he was in the United States, even if it was exaggerated, it could not be fabricated. After all, there was an 80% chance that everything had existed before. So even if Rong Xue was now pestering him, even if Rong Xue had become overbearing and unreasonable, even if she had become more arrogant and spoke with sarcasm, she was still a woman who had once been by his side. As for her? Who was she, Gu Anhao? What was love? Was it true love that someone else had been involved in for who knows how many years? Or was it love that she had been playing around in the Liujing Garden for the past six months? ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t be silent. You look a little scary.¡± Chunchun saw that Anhao was silent and squatted down in front of her worriedly. She held her hand tightly.¡±lf you have anything to say, just tell us. Anyone in this world can abandon you, but Huang Amao and I won¡¯t. Even if you ask us to search all over A City, Huang Amao and I will definitely help you find her, as long as you don¡¯t do this¡­¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Anhao looked at Chunchun. I just asked him if he was in the company. Although he didn¡¯t answer this question directly, at least he didn¡¯t deliberately lie to deceive me. He just asked me to go home and wait for him. I¡¯m not sure if there¡¯s any misunderstanding, but there¡¯s no need to look for him all over the world now. I might as well go home and have a good sleep before asking him tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Then you¡­Are you going back to Liu Jing Garden or are you staying with us?¡±Chunchun kept holding her hand. Anhao looked at Chunchun, then at Huang Amao who was sitting beside her.¡±¡±The two of you can take a taxi to send me home. You can rest assured when you see me enter the door, right?¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.¡±¡±l can barely rest assured.¡± ¡°Then send me back.¡± Anhao stood up. Anyway, if she didn¡¯t let the two of them send her home now, they definitely wouldn¡¯t let her go. She might as well take the initiative to let them send her home. ¡°Anhao, do you want us to give Professor Yi a call¡­¡± Chunchun suddenly said. Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around abruptly.¡±Why did you call him? I have nothing to do with Yi Zeyang anymore. Besides, he is going to marry Qi Weiran soon. Why should I look for him?¡± ¡± I¡¯m still worried. After all, Professor Yi used to be your brother. Maybe Professor Yi can help you¡­¡± ¡± No need. You don¡¯t have to trouble anyone. You can walk your own path and experience your own marriage. I¡¯ll go home and wait for Zuo Hancheng to give me a reasonable explanation.¡± After saying that, Anhao walked out of the bar quickly. Chunchun and Huang Amao took a taxi back to Liujing Garden. Chunchun and Huang Amao were worried, but seeing that Anhao wanted to be alone, they didn¡¯t pester her anymore. They only watched her enter the neighborhood before continuing to take the car and leave. Anhao had nowhere else to go except home. Besides, she didn¡¯t have any other home to go to other than the Liu Jing Garden. She thought that she had escaped from the Gu family and that she had the whole world with Zuo Hancheng. He did not know when it started to fall. However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that if she did not have Zuo Hancheng, what would she do? Did that mean that even Liu Jing Garden was no longer her home¡­ The feeling of having nothing was actually quite terrifying. Anhao¡¯s phone kept vibrating and she opened her eyes in a daze. She took her phone and saw that it was a message from Huang Amao asking if she was awake. Chunchun had also sent a message to ask if Zuo Hancheng was back. Anhao then looked at the time. It was already past six in the morning. It was past ten o¡¯clock at night when she returned home last night. After she came back, she did not even take a shower. She did not know how she fell asleep. She felt inexplicably sleepy and her stomach was not feeling well. At this moment, she was woken up by the vibration frequency of her phone. She opened her misty eyes and replied to their messages. After replying, she put down her phone and stood up. She felt even more uncomfortable in her stomach. She felt a wave of nausea. Did she eat something unclean at the Night Banquet Bar last night? She put on her slippers and stomped out of the bedroom. The living room was empty. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng had not returned that night. It was already dawn, and he said that she would see him this morning. She had thought that it would be like last time. He said that he would see her when she woke up, so when she got up, she saw him in the living room. Usually, Anhao would wake up after eight or nine o¡¯clock. Now that Rong Xue had exposed their relationship, even if her vacation ended, she did not hear any news from Zuo Hancheng today. Of course, she did not have to go to the office. Now, once she appeared in the company, it was likely that the female employees and colleagues who were familiar with her would not be able to get along with her like before. Even if Zuo Hancheng had completely cleared her name in front of the media, women would still look at other women with prejudice. To prevent himself from feeling even more stifled, he might as well forget about the internship. There were only a few days left anyway.. Chapter 378 - Chapter 378: The More I Love, the Greedier I Become (7) Chapter 378: The More I Love, the Greedier I Become (7) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng had not returned even after ten in the morning. And he didn¡¯t even call her. Anhao stood in front of the window and looked out. There were cars and people coming and going in the neighborhood, but Zuo Hancheng was nowhere to be seen. However, she received another piece of news. Chunchun and Huang Amao had called to inform her that Rongxue¡¯s entertainment company had issued a notice saying that they would hold a press conference on the first floor of XX Hotel in City A at two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. They planned to tell the media about her development in China and the recent news. Chunchun said. It was obvious that Rong Xue was not going to let it go. Even if Zuo Hancheng had defended Anhao in front of the media and resolved the matter, Rong Xue would not allow others to see her as an entangled ex-girlfriend. She wanted to tell the media the ¡± truth If the development of the situation was more and more beneficial to Rong Xue, it would be less and less beneficial to Anhao. This was originally a single choice. When this battle started, there could only be one winner between Anhao and Rong Xue. Anhao understood this, but she didn¡¯t understand what Chunchun and Huang Amao meant when they told her to wait for news at home. Zuo Hancheng was still not back until one o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Anhao called Chunchun and Huang Amao, but neither of them picked up. Previously, he had only told her not to show her face on the phone. He had even said that he would make Rongxue¡¯s press conference more exciting and that Anhao would turn on the television at home to wait for the good show. She was worried that the two of them would be angry because of what they had seen in the bar last night. She was worried that the two of them would do something to Rong Xue to avenge her, or¡­ The last thing she wanted to do, but the most likely thing to happen, was for Chunchun and Huang Amao to make a scene at Rongxue¡¯s press conference. Huang Amao¡¯s parents were businessmen, but they had relatives who were in charge of the security department. Some police officers also had relatives of Huang Amao¡¯s family. If they wanted to sneak into the press conference among the security guards and criminal police, Huang Amao only needed to call their relatives. They could easily sneak in. The more Anhao thought about it, the more she felt that the purpose of the two of them was to cause a ruckus at the press conference. After a few times when no one picked up the phone, she directly picked up her coat and ran out of the door. She didn¡¯t even have time to comb her hair. However, just as he ran to the entrance of the neighborhood and was about to take a taxi to the press conference, he almost bumped into the familiar black Bentley that was about to enter the neighborhood. She stopped in her tracks and looked at the car in front of her. When Zuo Hancheng rolled down the window and looked at her, she did not know if she should let go or if she should let go. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly when he saw her running out with her hair down and a coat draped over her shoulders. ¡°Chunchun and Huang Amao have been holding a grudge against Rongxue because of the rumors in the media these past few days. I heard something wrong with their tone when they called in the morning. Now that I think about it, I suspect that they might be going to Rongxue¡¯s press conference.¡±Anhao did not plan to tell him what happened last night. She looked at Zuo Hancheng in the car and said,¡±¡±l was afraid that something would happen, so I wanted to go to the scene to look for them.¡¯ ¡°Get in the car,¡± Zuo Hancheng said.¡± Anhao froze for two seconds before she realized that he was going with her. However, was it to accompany her to find Chunchun and Huang Amao, or was it because of Rongxue¡­ She didn¡¯t have time to think about it now. She quickly opened the car door and got in. After she fastened her seatbelt, she held her bag tightly and looked ahead, but she pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. Zuo Hancheng quickly reversed the car and turned to the middle of the road. Anhao peeked at his side profile through the rearview mirror and saw that his expression was cold and solemn, and he did not seem to explain why he came back so late. She wanted to ask him where he and Rongxue went last night, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Yesterday, Rong Xue had thrown herself into his arms. After he whispered a few words into Rong Xue¡¯s ear, Rong suddenly raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck. The scene pierced her heart. Her grip on her bag tightened until two cars suddenly collided in front of her. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car almost crashed into it because it was traveling very fast. Anhao tightened her seatbelt in shock when she suddenly braked. However, when she saw that their car was only half a meter away from the scene of the accident, her heart skipped a beat. It took her a long time before she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ugly expression, he quickly turned around and drove towards another intersection. His driving skills had always been reliable. When had he ever been in such a bad state? He didn¡¯t even notice that a car accident had happened in front of him when he was just ten meters away. He only braked when he was right in front of him. What was he thinking? Is there something on your mind? Anhao slowly released her hand from the seat belt. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was so cold that she did not know if it was the right time to ask him where he went last night. However, it was already two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, and he had only just returned. He had not even called him before. This was not his usual style. However, if he didn¡¯t ask now, he would have to ask sooner or later. Even if he seemed to be in trouble now, even if he didn¡¯t look well, if he delayed any longer, it would probably cause more misunderstandings. After the lesson in T City, Anhao didn¡¯t want to be so willful and leave in a fit of anger because she didn¡¯t know the situation. She wanted to know the reason and the truth. She wanted to know why Zuo Hancheng went to the bar to meet Rong Xue. She wanted to know what Zuo Hancheng had said to Rong Xue. She wanted to know where Rong Xue was last night and why he came back so late without even calling her. ¡°Actually, last night, I was there too¡­¡± Just as Anhao¡¯s voice rang out, Zuo Hancheng suddenly slowed down. She paused, sensing the situation outside the car, and turned to look outside. They had already arrived near the hotel where the press conference was being held. However, there were many people pouring in from outside the hotel. They were now surrounded. More importantly, there were police officers and security guards among them. All of them looked frightened and flustered, as if something had happened. Anhao looked in that direction and her heart trembled. Could Chunchun and Huang Amao have really done something.. It was no longer possible to drive inside, so Zuo Hancheng decisively parked his car in a parking space by the roadside. Anhao took the opportunity to roll down the car window and asked a security guard by the roadside, ¡°¡±What happened inside?¡± The security guard did not turn around to look at them. He only said casually when he heard the voice,¡± Aiya, it¡¯s that big celebrity. It¡¯s that female celebrity called Rongxue who was holding a press conference inside. Suddenly, the billboard above fell down. The huge metal frame that supported the billboard fell directly onto the female celebrity. The situation at the scene was tragic. I heard that the ground was covered in blood¡­.¡± Chapter 379 - Chapter 379: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (8) Chapter 379: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (8) Translator: 549690339 It was said that the ground was covered in blood¡­ Anhao only felt a buzz in her head. Before she could react, she suddenly heard the sound of a car door beside her. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already gotten out of the car and was walking quickly towards the hotel. Anhao was still sitting in the car. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s speed, she was still on the verge of losing her mind. In the end, she numbly took out her phone from her bag and was about to call Chunchun. However, no one picked up. She put down her phone and got out of the car. She turned around and walked towards the hotel. There were a lot of people coming and going in front of the hotel, but there were already police officers and security guards to control the situation. Zuo Hancheng was negotiating with the police officers at the door. When Anhao rushed over, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her but did not say anything and walked straight in. Anhao followed him in, but after the security guards and the criminal police team let him in, they turned around and stopped her. She said anxiously,¡±We are together, we are together, we are together.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and gave them a look before they let go of him. Anhao jogged in after him. The situation inside was even more chaotic than outside. The reporters, security guards, criminal police, entertainment company staff, and hotel staff were all in a mess. The huge billboard in front of the press conference venue was scattered on the ground. There was no one there, but the blood splattered on the white cloth of the press conference table was a shocking sight. Anhao looked at the blood on the white cloth and immediately stopped in her tracks. Zuo Hancheng turned around and walked inside. Anhao saw Chunchun and Huang Amao in the crowd and quickly walked over to them. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She grabbed Chunchun¡¯s hand. Did you and Huang Amao do The moment Chunchun saw Anhao, she was stunned for a moment. The next moment, she said in surprise,¡±Of course we didn¡¯t do it! Huang Amao and I did want to teach her a lesson, but we don¡¯t have the abilitv to loosen that iron frame. Besides, we¡¯re here to help you reason so that she won¡¯t talk nonsense at the press conference and push the blame on you again.¡± Huang Amao rushed to say,¡± When Chunchun and I arrived here, those people still wouldn¡¯t let us in. I called my relatives in the criminal police team and told them repeatedly that we were only here to see a big celebrity. Only then did they give us face and let us in. When we finally got in, before we could get close, the billboard suddenly smashed down. All of a sudden, the entire press conference was in chaos. Everyone ran back and forth. Chunchun and my feet were almost trampled by them. It was so scary!¡± Anhao¡¯s anxious heart finally relaxed when she heard that.¡±¡±lt¡¯s good that you didn¡¯t do it!¡± ¡°Nonsense, of course we didn¡¯t do it. We¡¯re here to support you, not to cause trouble for you. If we did it, it would be equivalent to murder.¡±Chunchun rolled her eyes at her and suddenly turned her head.¡¯¡±¡®l think I saw Boss Zuo just now. Did he come with you? Where is he?¡± Huang Amao suddenly widened his eyes at the crowd. Anhao and Chunchun instinctively turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng, who had just entered the room, walking out of the crowd with Rong Xue, who was unconscious and covered in blood. A group of reporters followed behind them and kept taking photos. He ignored them, but his eyes were cold and solemn. He wanted to carry Rong Xue out and go straight to the hospital. ¡°Motherf * cker!¡± Chunchun suddenly cursed and pushed Anhao. Anhao lost control of her footsteps and staggered forward a few steps. She ran directly to Zuo Hancheng, as if she was blocking his way. Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks when he saw her running towards him, but he still held Rong Xue firmly in his arms and looked at Anhao coldly. Anhao froze and wanted to say something, but Zuo Hancheng suddenly looked at Chunchun and Huang Amao who were behind her. She immediately understood what he meant. Was he asking if they had done it? Chunchun and Huang Amao also understood. They stood behind her and shook their heads in unison, firmly denying it. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows furrowed, and his cold gaze fell on Anhao¡¯s face again. Anhao felt as if her heart was frozen by his gaze. It seemed that she had once coquettishly said in his arms that she would destroy whoever dared to snatch her husband away from her. Was Zuo Hancheng questioning her? Anhao looked at him stiffly and shook her head mechanically. Zuo Hancheng was still staring at her deeply, and Anhao was also staring at him, trying to ignore Rong Xue, whose head was covered in blood, in his arms. He didn¡¯t know how strong his self-control was to keep his eyes from turning red or crying. He just shook his head again. In the end, Zuo Hancheng did not look at her again. She did not know if he believed that she and her best friends were innocent or if he still had doubts. In any case, he walked past her and quickly left the crowd with Rong Xue in his arms. A group of reporters walked past them. No one would miss such explosive news. Zuo Hancheng, who had defended his wife in front of the media and trampled on Rong Xue, had appeared at Rong Xue¡¯s press conference today and rushed out of the hotel with the injured Rong Xue in his arms. No fool would miss such a sensational piece of news. Anhao stood rooted to the ground. The people who were running quickly around her bumped into her shoulders one after another and rushed out. In the end, Anhao was knocked back two steps. Chunchun and Huang Amao quickly supported her from behind. ¡°Anhao¡­¡¯ Chunchun could tell the seriousness of the situation and walked up to her. Seeing that Anhao¡¯s face was so pale that there was almost no blood, she couldn¡¯t help but ask softly,¡±¡±Anhao, did Huang Amao and I come here so rashly and caused Zuo Hancheng to misunderstand something? Was it¡­Did we cause you trouble?¡± ¡°No, it has nothing to do with you.¡± Anhao shook her head slowly.¡± ¡°Then, Zuo Hancheng just¡­¡± Anhao still shook her head. ¡°What the hell is going on?¡±Huang Amao was about to curse. Anhao clenched her fists tightly and turned around without saying a word. Suddenly, two female fans who were very close to him said,¡±Look, isn¡¯t that Mrs. Zuo? It¡¯s that Gu Anhao who stole our Goddess Xue¡¯s boyfriend and forced her to hold a press conference. It¡¯s her, right?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s her! This shameless b * tch actually dared to appear here!¡± For a moment, a large wave of fans holding banners and banners suddenly rushed in this direction. Anhao felt something hit her hard on her back. She turned around and saw a figurine of Rong Xue. Before she could look up, the sign with Rong Xue¡¯s English name on it suddenly flew towards her.. Chapter 380 - Chapter 380: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (9) Chapter 380: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (9) Translator: 549690339 The moment the light sign hit her head, Anhao felt a sharp pain in her head. She quickly turned around and dodged the things that were continuously flying at her. Even the half-filled bottles of mineral water and the various flower baskets on the stage in front of the press conference were thrown in her direction mercilessly by the male and female fans. Chunchun and Huang Amao exploded the moment Anhao was hit by the light sign. They protected her and turned around to scold,¡±¡±F * Ck you, who dares to smash our Anhao! Who smashed it? If you have the ability, come out!¡± However, what followed was more abuse and pushing. Nearly 200 fans surrounded the three girls in the middle, cursing and cursing as they hit them. Even Huang Amao and Chunchun¡¯s necks and arms were instantly injured and scratched. Anhao had always been the best fighter among the three of them, but now she stood in the crowd without moving, as if she had no intention of resisting even if she was injured. It was not until Chunchun was hit by a light sign that blood started to flow from her forehead. Anhao, who had been protected by the two of them and did not move, suddenly turned around and pushed them away. She grabbed the light sign on the ground and threw it at the crazy fans ¡®faces. At the same time, she cursed, ¡°Get lost! Who dared to cause trouble here? Do you want to fight? Come on! Come straight at me!¡± ¡°Anhao!¡± Seeing that Anhao was really pissed off, she couldn¡¯t cause any trouble because she had the title of Mrs. Zuo, but now that her lips had been injured, she was on fire and didn¡¯t care about anything. Chunchun and Huang Amao pulled her back. These fans are crazy and irrational. Don¡¯t be calculative with them! Look, security guards are here! Good! Don¡¯t be like this!¡± Anhao shook them off forcefully and suddenly rushed forward to grab the collar of the leader of the fan club manager, as if she wanted to strangle her to death.¡±¡±Do you want to lead the fight? When I was fighting, you were still playing in the mud. How dare you behave atrociously in front of me? Do you really think I¡¯m a sick cat? Want to fight? Come on!¡± That person looked at her in disbelief, his face flushed red with anger. When the fans behind saw that their own people were about to be beaten up, a group of people rushed up and began to tear Anhao¡¯s clothes and arms. Anhao¡¯s arm instantly turned red. Chunchun and Huang Amao wanted to rush over to save her, but they were pushed aside by the crazy fans. Just as Anhao was surrounded by her fans, a voice suddenly came from outside, ¡°¡±What are you all doing? Get out of the way! Gathering people to fight is illegal! If you don¡¯t want to be caught, get out of the way!¡± It was the criminal police who had rushed in with a group of people. When the fans heard the noise, they were so scared that they quickly withdrew their hands and turned around to disperse. Chunchun and Huang Amao were in tears as they watched from the side. When they saw the criminal police, they also saw Zuo Hancheng, who had just returned. He pushed through the crowd and walked back with a serious expression. ¡°Left¡­¡± Huang Amao was surprised that he had returned. However, Anhao was already lying on the stairs at the side. There was blood on the corner of her mouth and her arms. There were also a few red patches on her forehead and face. Her clothes were also torn and messy. However, she seemed to have been driven crazy by those fans. She had no idea what was going on around her. Just as the few fans closest to her were about to retreat, she suddenly stood up and grabbed two people, wanting to hit them. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng had already rushed over in time and pushed the two fans away. At the same time, he held Anhao, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown, tightly in his arms. He held her hands down and held her tightly. ¡°Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned and held her tightly in his arms. He lowered his head and saw that her eyes were red. She insisted on hitting him. He pressed down on her hand that she had suddenly pulled out again and lowered his head to her ear to comfort her.¡±Anhao, don¡¯t be like this! Don¡¯t be agitated! Calm down! I¡¯m here! Don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid¡­¡± As he spoke, he caressed her head and hugged her tightly in his arms until Anhao was tired of struggling and slowly gave up. He lowered his head to look at her injured face and said softly,¡±They have already been taken away. No one will come over to hit or scold you. I¡¯m here. Anhao, look carefully.¡± Anhao gradually calmed down, but her eyes seemed to have lost focus as she looked in the direction of the door. She leaned weakly into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. She did not know why he was back. Didn¡¯t he send Rongxue to the hospital? Did he not go? Her eyes were red from anger, but not a single tear fell. She panted slowly. When Zuo Hancheng hugged her tightly and kissed her hair to calm her down, she opened her mouth and looked at the door with unfocused eyes. She said hoarsely,¡±l didn¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng hugged her and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±l know it wasn¡¯t you.¡± ¡°It really wasn¡¯t me¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s voice gradually became weak, but she did not look at the man who was hugging her. She only muttered,¡±¡±l¡¯m not the one who¡¯s going to take you down.¡± ¡°I know, I know, I know everything.¡±Zuo Hancheng hugged her tightly.¡± Be good. I¡¯ll take you to treat your wound.¡± Anhao shook her head and suddenly pushed him away as if she had been electrocuted. Zuo Hancheng did not expect her to suddenly push him so hard after she had calmed down. He let go of her hand and Anhao stumbled towards Chunchun. Chunchun and Huang Amao quickly caught her and prevented her from falling to the ground. Seeing Anhao¡¯s actions, Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her. He saw Anhao holding Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s arm to steady herself. She only stepped back, refusing to let him touch her again. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I was just scratched a few times and my skin was scratched a little.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t look at him. She stared at his shoulder and said slowly,¡±¡±Did I drag you down again? He hit Rong Xue¡¯s fan in front of the media? Wouldn¡¯t it ruin your reputation as well? In the future, I¡¯ll be the sinner of history in everyone¡¯s mouth, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at her. Anhao hid behind Chunchun and Huang Amao and refused to look at his face. At most, she only looked at his shoulders. After saying that, she lowered her head again.¡±Miss Rong is so seriously injured and has lost so much blood. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. Go and see the person you really care about.¡± As she spoke, Anhao grabbed her lips and said,¡±¡±Ah Mao, Chunchun, I want to go home.¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao did not know what to do, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression made it difficult for them to take Anhao away. But seeing Anhao¡¯s current state, her best friend was still the most important. She directly supported her and turned around to leave. ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind them. His voice was so cold that Chunchun and Huang Amao trembled.. Chapter 381 - Chapter 381: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (10) Chapter 381: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (10) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind them. His voice was so cold that Chunchun and Huang Amao trembled. Chunchun looked at Anhao hesitantly, only to see that she was only looking in the direction of the door and did not intend to care about everything around her. Chunchun, Huang Amao, and Anhao had known each other for so many years. It could be said that they had known each other since junior high school, but they had never seen Anhao like this. This way¡­ It makes one¡¯s heart ache and heart ache for the two. When had Anhao ever endured so many grievances outside? She had suffered so much today, but she had been enduring it. ¡°Anhao, President Zuo is looking at you.¡±Huang Amao turned around and looked at Zuo Hancheng. Then, he looked at Anhao again.¡±l know that you¡¯re feeling uncomfortable now, but¡­¡± ¡°I want to go home.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, but lowered her head and said it in a very, very soft voice. It sounded like she was begging. Huang Amao and Chunchun looked at her. After hesitating for a moment, they did not dare to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression again. They supported Anhao and walked out. After they walked out of the hotel¡¯s main entrance, the fans outside had already been controlled by the criminal police and security guards. They had also left everyone behind to investigate the truth behind the sudden fall of the billboard. It seemed that someone was hiding in the dark. Someone might have been behind today¡¯s events and deliberately wanted to hurt or kill Rong Xue. It was not uncommon for such cases to happen in the entertainment industry, but it was happening right in front of their eyes. The criminal police officers ¡®eyes were cold and stern. However, I saw Anhao and her three little girls walking out, thinking that Zuo Zong had just said that they were his people, and then I saw Anhao again. It seemed that these few days, the rumors in the media were Mrs. Zuo, and they didn¡¯t stop them. When he saw the injuries on Anhao¡¯s body, a person in charge of the criminal police unit walked over.¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, do you need to go to the hospital?¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. If you need anything, feel free to look for us. Fortunately, President Zuo had appeared today to order the hotel staff to seal off all the safety exits and successfully send Rong Xue to the ambulance outside the door. Otherwise, the chaos between the fans would have delayed many things.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t pay any more attention to the people in charge of the criminal police team. She turned around and was about to leave. Zuo Hancheng did not manage to catch up. Chunchun and Huang A¡¯mao helped her to the roadside to hail a taxi. However, after getting into the car, Anhao did not say that she was going back to Liujing Garden. Instead, she said, ¡°Chunchun, has it been a long time since we went to the Pleasure Bar?¡± Chunchun looked at her in surprise. Do you want to go to a bar to drown your sorrows?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Anhao turned to look at her. Chunchun was stunned. She was going to refuse, but Huang Amao interrupted,¡±¡±Can¡¯t you see that Anhao is holding it in? If she didn¡¯t find a way to vent, she would probably go crazy.¡± ¡°But now is not the time to drink¡­¡± ¡°Anhao didn¡¯t drink much last night. She saw her husband pick up another woman from the bar and didn¡¯t go home for the whole night. Anhao could still hold it in. Now that she suddenly said that she wanted to drink, she must have been unable to hold it in anymore and needed to find a way to vent!¡± ¡°If you want to vent, why are you drinking? If you want to vent your anger, go and find Rong Xue! ¡± ¡°Are you stupid? Rongxue is lying in the hospital right now. Anhao is going to look for Rongxue now? Do you think she¡¯s not famous enough in the media recently?¡±Huang Amao rolled his eyes at her.¡± Hurry up, driver. Take us to the Pleasure Bar on XX Road. Thanks!¡¯¡±¡® Chunchun frowned, but when she thought about how Anhao would be alone at home now, the terrifying silence and boredom would indeed drive her crazy. Given Anhao¡¯s personality, it was already good enough that she did not slap Zuo Hancheng and question him where he had taken Rongxue last night. She was also grateful that she did not hug Rongxue and question her with her eyes. If this was the Anhao of the past, she would have beaten someone up in the morning and wouldn¡¯t have suffered such grievances. ¡°But then again, Anhao, are you really in love with Zuo Hancheng? You¡¯ve been a little out of character lately.¡±Chunchun said softly as she pulled on his arm. ¡°I¡¯m not Steamed Bun.¡± Anhao looked out of the car window calmly.¡¯¡±¡®l just don¡¯t have the right to be willful. After all, both Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue have their own fields of success. The media is only concerned about the two of them. I¡¯m just a topic that the media brings along.¡± At this point, Anhao suddenly laughed again.¡±Chunchun, you and Huang Amao at least have parents and relatives, but I have nothing.¡± Besides Zuo Hancheng, she really had nothing else. However, she had once firmly believed that Zuo Hancheng really belonged to her. However, after waiting for an entire night, when Zuo Hancheng held Rong Xue, who was soaked in blood, and looked at her coldly in front of him today, she was shocked. She did not know what else she had, what else she could have. ¡°I wish Huang Amao and I were the ones who pushed that metal frame down. That way, we could have smashed that b * tch Rongxue to death! Even if I have to go to jail for a few years, I¡¯m willing! F * ck! It¡¯s disgusting just thinking about it! ¡± Chunchun suddenly looked at Huang Amao who was sitting in front of her.¡¯¡±¡®Hey, do you think Rongxue is deliberately putting on a show?¡± Huang Amao was also stunned.¡± Other than her head being hit and bleeding, Rongxue¡¯s body and face don¡¯t seem to be injured. If it was just her head being hit, the skin would bleed a lot. I was like this when I was young. I hit my forehead against the wall and my face was covered in blood. It was scary, but she only needed a few stitches. She didn¡¯t pass out!¡¯¡±¡® Chunchun and Huang Amao immediately turned to look at Anhao.¡±¡±Anhao, did we fall into a trap?¡± ¡°Have any of you ever seen a person who played the trick of hurting himself really risk his life? The metal frame supporting the billboard was so big and weighed at least 200 pounds. It was also such a sharp metal frame. If she did not handle it well, she would be crushed to death. Was Rong Xue that stupid? Do you want a man or your life?¡± Moreover, if Rong Xue was really just trying to trick them, how could Zuo Hancheng not be able to see through it? Chunchun and Huang Amao fell silent.¡±¡±Looks like we¡¯re too unlucky. Someone wanted to harm Rongxue, but we ended up provoking them. The entertainment industry was a mess. Who knew who Rong Xue had offended? The people in her circle had dealings with all kinds of people in many worlds.. It was possible that someone had taken revenge!¡± Chapter 382 - Chapter 382: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (11) Chapter 382: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (11) Translator: 549690339 Actually, for Anhao, some of the processes were supposed to be painless. Just like growth, one had to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. However, this unspeakable sorrow and pain was a feeling that she could not vent even if she was thrown into the Taekwondo gym to beat up a group of people. When the boss of the Charm Bar saw them, he immediately booked a private room for them. On account of Anhao and Chunchun¡¯s previous work here, he said that he would give them a 40% discount from the beginning. So the three little girls ordered a bunch of drinks and ran into the private room like crazy. They sang, drank, danced, and made a scene. However, this was the first time Chunchun and Huang Amao had seen Anhao drink so recklessly. In the past, it was the two of them who liked to drink, and Anhao would accompany them. Even if she drank too much, she would definitely not be as drunk as the two of them. However, Chunchun and Huang Amao didn¡¯t dare to drink too much today. They could only listen to Anhao holding the microphone and singing the high-pitched songs non-stop. Anhao¡¯s voice was so hoarse that she couldn¡¯t sing anymore. She drank a glass of wine and continued singing. That voice was already a dry howl. Huang Amao scratched his tormented ears and gave Chunchun a look. The two women took advantage of Anhao¡¯s intoxicated singing to quietly leave the house. ¡°Should I give Zuo Hancheng a call? Anhao can¡¯t go on like this. No matter how angry she is, she can¡¯t drink like this. She¡¯s never been like this before¡­ ¡°Do you have Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number?¡± . No, you didn¡¯t either?¡± ¡°Of course, if I had his number, I would have called him directly after sending Anhao home last night!¡± The two of them were at a loss outside the door because they were really worried about sending Anhao home alone. However, both of their families had their own unspeakable secrets and could not bring Anhao home together after drinking. Anhao said that Yi Zeyang was about to get married and had nothing to do with him anymore, so she could not call Yi Zeyang over. ¡°We can¡¯t just watch her drink here all night, right? School is about to start. What if Anhao drinks and has some problems¡­ Suddenly, Chunchun¡¯s phone vibrated in her pocket. She picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment and picked up the call. However, there was a lot of noise around her. She covered one ear and turned around to listen. However, a few seconds later, she suddenly turned back to look at Huang Amao excitedly. She pointed at the phone and mouthed,¡±Zuo Hancheng! It was Zuo Hancheng! It¡¯s Zuo Hancheng! ¡± Huang Amao also hurried to his side and snatched the phone.¡±¡± Hey, Zuo Hancheng, if you don¡¯t want anything to happen to Anhao, you¡¯d better come over and take her away. No matter what method you use, you have to¡­¡± ¡°Aiya!¡± Chunchun snatched the phone back and said to her ear,¡±¡±Boss Zuo, Anhao is with us, but she¡¯s not in a good state tonight. She¡¯s been drinking, and we¡¯re afraid that she¡¯ll hurt herself, so can you come and pick her up now? We really don¡¯t feel at ease letting her go back alone.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Are you outside the bar?¡± Chunchun looked at Huang Amao in surprise, then nodded and said something on the phone for a while before hanging up and slowly putting down the phone. Huang Amao looked at her.¡± He had already found this place and was waiting for us.¡± ¡°Then how long do we have to wait? Anhao obviously wanted to spend the night here.¡± The two of them exchanged a look, put away their phones, and walked in. Anhao had already changed her song in the private room. Her eyes were red as she hugged the microphone and sang slowly. My sky is so clear, The transparent promise is the air of the past, Take my hand, and you will be But I couldn¡¯t see your smile clearly. Whether a star has changed its heart, All the wishes of the past have been abandoned, I can¡¯t breathe lately Even his own shadow wanted to escape. You¡¯re my one and only The two worlds are deformed, Going back was easier said than done. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re the only one for me Alone on the phone saying I love you, I really love you¡­ This song was the only song that Anhao sang that night that was in tune, and she sang it so deeply. She was no longer the unrestrained Gu Anhao of the past. A woman in love! Someone in the private room next door was singing,¡± She often felt that she was so stupid, but which woman wasn¡¯t naive¡­ ¡°Anhao.¡± Huang Amao walked over. When Anhao finished singing and was about to get another glass of wine, he quickly grabbed her hand.¡±¡±lt¡¯s going to rain outside. Let¡¯s go.¡± Anhao acted as if she didn¡¯t hear her. She walked around her hand, picked up the bottle of wine, and took a sip. Her eyes were a little misty as she looked in the direction of Chunchun at the door.¡±lf you want to leave, leave first. I¡¯ll be here myself.¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Who can abandon you like this?¡±Chunchun immediately walked over with an ugly expression and snatched the wine from her hand.¡±Stop drinking and follow us.¡± Anhao smiled. The moment the music started playing again, she raised the microphone in her other hand and started laughing at the screen.¡±Listen to the sound of the sea crying Sighing, who is hurt again, but still not awake ¡°Stop singing! Her singing is worse than her crying!¡± Chunchun angrily snatched the microphone from her hand and smashed it on the ground. Anhao was stunned. Her eyes turned red with anger when she saw Chunchun. Just as Chunchun was about to turn around and leave, she was so frightened that she quickly reached out to grab her arm.¡±Chunchun, Chunchun¡­ Chunchun, don¡¯t be angry¡­l was wrong¡­¡± ¡°I was wrong, it¡¯s all my fault. I¡¯m sorry!¡±Anhao nodded repeatedly at her, and her tears finally burst out.¡±l won¡¯t be like this anymore. I won¡¯t cause trouble anymore. I won¡¯t implicate anyone anymore. I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Chunchun flung her hand away. You didn¡¯t do anything wrong!¡± ¡°I¡¯m wrong.¡± Anhao, however, did not seem to hear her. After being pushed by Chunchun, she took a step back and sat on the ground beside the coffee table. She was still mumbling softly,¡±l was wrong¡­ Seeing her like this, Chunchun gritted her teeth and rushed forward to slap her to wake her up. This was not how Gu Anhao should be! Chunchun rushed up to Anhao and tried to stop her, but before she could reach out, Chunchun had already rushed up to Anhao and raised her hand to slap her face. However, just as her hand was about to move down, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. The force was so strong that it almost crushed her wrist. She was so shocked that she turned her eyes to the person behind her.. Chapter 383 - Chapter 383: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (12) Chapter 383: The More I Love, the Greedier I Get (12) Translator: 549690339 The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng, Chunchun was so angry that she tried to shake his hand off. However, he couldn¡¯t shake it off. It was only when Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand that she glared at her angrily. However, when she saw Zuo Hancheng walk forward and pick Anhao up, she could not say a single word that she wanted to curse. Huang Amao stopped Chunchun, who was about to scold her, and grabbed her hand to signal her to hold back. ¡°Mr. Zuo, are you a professional at picking people up from bars?¡±Chunchun didn¡¯t curse, but she suddenly mocked. When Zuo Hancheng picked up Anhao, who could no longer differentiate between north, south, east, and west, he heard Chunchun¡¯s words and turned to look at her. ¡°The night before, you went to the Night Banquet Bar to pick up your ex-girlfriend and even hugged her away. Tonight, you came to the Pleasure Bar to pick up Anhao.¡± Chunchun said as she fearlessly looked at his frozen expression.¡±¡±Did Anhao not tell you? We were at the banquet last night too. The three of us saw you take Rongxue away with our own eyes, but when Anhao called you, you told her to wait for her at home obediently.¡± Huang Amao pulled Chunchun, who was already a little agitated from Anhao¡¯s earlier state, and walked to the front to say, ¡°¡±Yes, President Zuo. Anhao has been waiting for you since she came home last night. She waited for you for a day and a night¡­But today at the press conference, you hurt Anhao, who chose to believe you wholeheartedly. President Zuo, you shouldn¡¯t be like this, but how could you doubt Anhao today?¡± ¡°I never doubted her.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold as he left this sentence and took Anhao away. Chunchun and Huang Amao didn¡¯t chase after her. They just looked at the empty bottles under the coffee table, not knowing if Anhao¡¯s stomach could take it. ¡°Ugh As soon as she was brought out of the door, Anhao pushed Zuo Hancheng before she reached the car. She turned around and leaned over the flower bed to vomit, but there was nothing in her stomach except for alcohol. She hadn¡¯t eaten anything since last night, except for alcohol. After puking out a bunch of wine, she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to lean against the railing at the side. Zuo Hancheng pulled her back and locked her in his arms. At the same time, he pulled open his windbreaker and wrapped her up. When Anhao was struggling, he bent down and whispered into her ear, almost gnashing his teeth, ¡°¡±You saw me at the banquet last night? Why didn¡¯t you say anything?¡± Anhao frowned. She did not know what the hell was that noise and raised her hand to punch him. Zuo Hancheng turned his head slightly to avoid her naughty hands and held her firmly in his arms, not allowing her to escape. At the same time, seeing that she was unconscious, it was pointless to ask, so he simply opened the car door and stuffed her in. Anhao stumbled into the car and looked out of the car with difficulty. She didn¡¯t know where she was, but she turned her head to look around in a daze. She raised her hand and grabbed the seatbelt in a daze, instinctively putting it on. Seeing that she still knew how to fasten her seatbelt even though she was so drunk, it was obvious that this girl still knew that her life was more important. It was a chilly spring night. Anhao shivered as she sat in the passenger seat. Zuo Hancheng took off his coat and threw it on her before closing the door. Anhao looked at the trees and streetlights outside the car in a daze. She didn¡¯t realize that the car had started moving. She stuck her face out of the window and pointed out.¡±One, two, three¡­F * ck! Why are there so many street lamps¡­ Hearing her tone, Zuo Hancheng frowned deeply, but he held back the urge to brake and sped on the road at an even faster speed. Anhao was covered with clothes and suddenly felt hot. She pushed her coat aside and felt that it was not cool enough. She reached out and pressed on the car door randomly. When the car window rolled down, she faced the strong wind outside the window and said with an expression as if she was about to fly into the sky,¡±Chunchun, Ah, what do you think the people will say about me when the news is released today?¡± ¡°Everyone thinks that I own the world just because I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo. They all think that I stole Rongxue¡¯s man! I must be proud of the spring breeze every day! I was probably hanging myself to death, so everyone thought I was playing on the swing! ¡± ¡°Do you have a swing? Lend me a swing!¡± she said with a grin.¡± Just as Anhao reached out her hand and poked her head out to greet the handsome man in the car next to her, Zuo Hancheng pulled her back by the collar with a dark expression. At the same time, he quickly closed the window and locked it. Anhao raised her hand and fumbled around the door anxiously.¡±¡±Open it! Open it! That handsome guy was whistling at me just now! I don¡¯t want to cooperate with that pervert and be a good girl anymore! Anyway, we¡¯ve already had sex. Chunchun, Ah Mao, let¡¯s go on a date! Find a few handsome guys and fly into the sky together, lalalala All of a sudden, there was an ear-piercing sound of brakes. If Anhao hadn¡¯t been wearing her seatbelt, she would have flown out of the car. Her head still hit the car door heavily, causing her to frown in pain. She looked outside in confusion and said strangely, ¡°What¡¯s wrong now?¡± Where did the two of you find a driver? His driving skills are really terrible¡­¡¯ ¡°Try saying another word.¡± A man¡¯s extremely cold voice sounded in her ear. Anhao chuckled.¡± The drivers nowadays are very temperamental. Do they think I¡¯m long-winded?¡± If you have the ability, don¡¯t do this business. I¡¯ll change to another car!¡± As she spoke, she pushed the car door open.¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her, only to see that her face was pale from the wind. He picked up the coat that she had thrown aside and threw it back at her. He endured her drunken madness and drove the car that was parked by the roadside into the traffic again. Anhao didn¡¯t know what was going on at all. She just leaned her head against the car door and counted the street lights again. One, two, three. When her eyelids gradually closed, the black Bentley stopped in the parking lot opposite the Liu Jing Garden. Zuo Hancheng removed her clothes and unfastened her seatbelt. Just as he was about to carry her out of the car, Anhao¡¯s stomach suddenly churned. The familiar feeling of nausea hit her again. She suddenly made a gesture of wanting to vomit. Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and looked at her pale face.¡±You want to vomit?¡± Nonsense, can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m holding it in? Anhao raised her finger impatiently and pointed at her tightly shut mouth. Zuo Hancheng scowled as he carried her out of the car. As soon as she got out of the car, she pushed him away and staggered a few steps to the street lamp opposite the neighborhood. She vomited for a long time. In the end, there was nothing left to vomit in her stomach, but she kept retching as if she wanted to vomit her entire stomach out. Anhao¡¯s body was still bruised and bruised from the fight with the fans during the day. There were also a few scratches on her face. Her clothes were in a mess, and she was leaning against the street lamp in a sorry state. The way she kept vomiting stung Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. [I can¡¯t spoil the story, but I guarantee that the male lead¡¯s body and mind are clean. Guys, focus on reading the novel. You have to believe in your author..] Chapter 384 - Chapter 384: The Left Boss Is Shameless (1) Chapter 384: The Left Boss Is Shameless (1) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao was brought home by Zuo Hancheng, she ran straight into the bathroom as soon as she entered the house. She knelt by the toilet bowl and retched for a long time, but she still couldn¡¯t vomit anything. She could only lie on the toilet bowl and not move. She looked at the toilet bowl in front of her with a desolate gaze. Her mind was in a mess and she did not realize where she was. When Zuo Hancheng came over with some hangover tea and saw her kneeling by the toilet bowl, he immediately pulled her up. Anhao, however, refused to let go and shook her off with her hands.¡±Don¡¯t touch me, I want to vomit¡­¡± Seeing that she could not vomit anything but was in pain from retching, Zuo Hancheng dragged her up and brought her out of the bathroom. He fed her the cup of hangover tea and said,¡±¡±Drink it.¡± Anhao turned her head to avoid him. When she turned her head, she noticed the carpet at her feet, the familiar coffee table, sofa, and the spacious and bright living room. She realized that she had somehow returned to Liujing Garden. She suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng in a daze. Zuo Hancheng looked at her with an ugly expression.¡±¡±You¡¯re awake?¡± Anhao shook her head violently, but her head hurt terribly. She avoided his gaze, turned around, and fell onto the sofa weakly without responding. ¡°Drink this whole cup when you wake up, lest you have a headache and stomach ache tomorrow morning.¡±Zuo Hancheng placed the cup on the coffee table beside her. Anhao did not move or speak. She just buried her face in the sofa. Seeing that she did not move for a long time, Zuo Hancheng was worried that this girl would suffocate to death. He went forward to pull her up, but she was already asleep. Even if he was so angry that the veins on his forehead were twitching, he couldn¡¯t wake a drunk person up. Zuo Hancheng bent down and carried her into the bedroom. As soon as he placed Anhao on the bed in the bedroom, she opened her eyes and glared at him as if she was frightened by something. Seeing her expression, Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± The title of the game is ¡®The Valentine¡¯. ¡°Bastard! You¡¯re back!¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. Anhao suddenly pursed her lips and sat up to tug at his shirt, complaining,¡± ¡® Do you know that I saw you at the banquet? I even saw you carrying Rongxue and leaving with her. When I chased after you, you were already gone¡­¡± ¡°I called you, but you told me to wait for you at home¡­¡± Anhao said as she shook her head in front of him. At the same time, her eyes widened as if she was trying to stay awake.¡±l¡¯ll obediently come home and wait for you¡­ls it dawn now? You¡¯re back so early?¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. ¡°Tell me, where did you and Rongxue go? Why are you going to the banquet? Why did you take her away? Didn¡¯t you say that you love me? Zuo Hancheng, didn¡¯t you say that you love me? Why did you hook up with Rongxue again just after you said you loved me?¡± Anhao said as she wiped her eyes on his shirt.¡± Bastard, how could you do this? You actually carried Rongxue and left just like that¡­¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard the word ¡®seductive¡¯, the veins on his forehead twitched violently. He knew that she had drunk too much and had mixed up their memories, but he could not bear it anymore and gritted his teeth. Gu Anhao, watch your words.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my wording?¡± Anhao stared at him with her eyes that were almost out of focus. He stood with his back to the bedroom light, so she couldn¡¯t see his expression clearly. She only laughed out of instinct. ¡°You mean you and Rongxue didn¡¯t hook up?¡± In the next moment, the smile on her face fell again.¡±But why did you go to see her? Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯ve never willfully walked away. You¡¯ve always said that I don¡¯t have a heart. You¡¯ve always said that I don¡¯t have a conscience. But you see, I didn¡¯t leave. I waited for you obediently this time. I didn¡¯t cry or make a fuss. I waited for you at home. I¡¯ve been waiting and waiting¡­¡± ¡°Wait and wait¡­¡± As she spoke, her head suddenly leaned against his waist. ¡°But I can¡¯t wait for you¡­ This house is so big. But I¡¯m the only one¡­lt was dawn¡­ Then, I kept waiting¡­¡± As she spoke, Anhao suddenly burst into tears. Her tears and snot squirmed into his arms and rubbed against his clothes. As she cried, she sobbed and said,¡± My heart feels so bad. It¡¯s like it¡¯s soaked in vinegar. What about Zuo Hancheng?¡± It seems that I can¡¯t leave you anymore¡­ But what should he do? The more I do this, the more scared I am¡­ After the sourness in my heart subsided, it felt like I was being pricked by countless needles. I feel like I¡¯m about to die¡­ She cried as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart.¡±¡±l feel like I can¡¯t breathe¡­l don¡¯t like this, I really don¡¯t like this¡­l¡¯d rather not have a heart. I¡¯d rather be like before, indifferent to everything. Can you dig out my heart? I don¡¯t want it anymore¡­ Dig it out¡­ I can give it to anyone. I feel so uncomfortable like this¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes were blurry from crying, and her snot was all over his shirt. However, she still cried endlessly and hugged his neck tightly.¡±Chunchun said that I¡¯m like a bun now. Yes, yes, I¡¯m like a bun. It¡¯s so difficult to be a bun! I didn¡¯t dare to embarrass myself in front of the media. I was afraid that I would embarrass you, but I really wanted to beat them up. I really wanted to beat those people up until their faces were swollen¡­But I can¡¯t¡­¡± As she spoke, she grabbed his collar and placed it in front of her nose to wipe her nose. Zuo Hancheng did not move. He only watched her actions and the veins on his forehead twitched again. Anhao, on the other hand, gradually calmed down. She felt that his shirt was already wet from her crying and could no longer wipe away his tears, so she simply pushed him away as if she had burned the bridge after crossing the river. She turned over and laid on the bed. Within a minute, her breathing became even, just like that¡­He fell asleep. Zuo Hancheng sat by the bed and did not get up. He just looked at Anhao who was sleeping quietly on the bed. After a long time, he reached out and gently stroked her head. ¡°Idiot. ¡± Her voice was very soft, gentle, and filled with heartache and a little apology. It was also because she had turned around in her dream and pulled the blanket over her. When she got up, she froze for a moment. She looked down at the tears and snot on her shirt and finally unbuttoned her shirt helplessly. She walked out of the living room and threw the shirt that Anhao had ruined into the bag near the door. At the same time, she was about to go to the bathroom to wash a towel and wipe her face when her phone that was thrown on the coffee table suddenly rang. Zuo Hancheng did not pick her up. He walked into the bathroom to wash the towel and walked straight to the bedroom without stopping for a moment.. Chapter 385 - Chapter 385: Shameless Boss Zuo (2) Chapter 385: Shameless Boss Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 When he cleaned up the drunkard inside, his phone was still ringing. Zuo Hancheng walked over to take a look at the caller ID and answered the call after a moment of silence. The voice of Rong Xue¡¯s most trusted bodyguard came from the phone. He spoke fluent English and explained Rong Xue¡¯s emergency situation to him. Zuo Hancheng said calmly,¡± It¡¯s good that she¡¯s out of danger. Tiansheng Entertainment has the most authoritative team to continue tracking her. Rongxue is not an artist under the company I¡¯m working for. I don¡¯t have to visit her at this critical time. It won¡¯t benefit either party.¡±¡± The other party said something in English. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression darkened and his voice was cold.¡±l¡¯ll find some time to send someone back to the United States to investigate that matter. Please don¡¯t disturb me about other matters.¡± The bodyguard on the other end of the phone continued to speak in an anxious tone. Zuo Hancheng looked at the time and said calmly,¡±¡±l¡¯m sorry, my wife doesn¡¯t dare to sleep at home alone. President Wang of Tiansheng will also arrange for the ward care. Rongxue is the head of Tiansheng now, so I don¡¯t need to take care of her. Also, before I find out the truth, please keep quiet here and don¡¯t call again.¡± Ahhhh, my stomach hurts so much that I want to kill someone! Anhao opened her eyes abruptly. She did not know why she was woken up by the pain in her stomach. When she woke up, she found herself sleeping at home. The dim yellow light by the bed shone on her body, but it was not dazzling. It was so gentle that it was as if Zuo Hancheng was beside her. She even thought that she had just had a nightmare, a nightmare where she fought with a group of fans. However, when she sat up, she immediately hissed in pain. She looked down at the scratches on her arms and felt two marks on her face that were faintly hurting. Even her head hurt. Obviously, it was not a dream. She was drunk and had been sent home for some reason. Her stomach hurt so badly that her head felt like it was about to split open. She rubbed her head as she lifted the blanket to look at herself. Her clothes had been changed into a comfortable nightgown, and her body seemed to have been cleaned. Even the wounds on her body had been applied with medicine. She raised her hand and smelled it. There was a faint, pleasant smell of medicine on her arm. He picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was already 3:30 in the morning. She endured her headache and got out of bed. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw that the light in the living room was still on. She looked around in confusion, but she could not see Zuo Hancheng. Did he go out again? But why wasn¡¯t the light in the living room switched off? Her stomach was too uncomfortable. It was difficult for her to be too lazy to care about what happened during the day. She only knew that her throat hurt from singing and her stomach hurt from drinking. She walked to the sofa in her slippers and saw a cup of hangover tea on the coffee table, but it was already cold. This thing had the effect of thinning the wine in the stomach and also had the effect of relieving headaches. She took a look and was about to drink it. ¡°It¡¯s already cold. Don¡¯t drink it.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind. Her hand that was holding the cup paused. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng coming out of the study. He walked straight to her and took the cup from her hand. He looked at her again and said gently, ¡°Headache?¡± Anhao silently looked at him and nodded her head. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. He turned around to help her boil water and pour a new cup. When he came out with a cup of sober-up tea, Anhao was already sitting on the sofa in a daze. She was hugging a pillow in her arms and staring straight ahead like a helpless child. Zuo Hancheng walked over and placed the cup on the coffee table in front of her. At the same time, he sat down beside her.¡±¡±Do you know what it¡¯s like to be drunk?¡± Anhao paused for a moment and turned around to look at him strangely.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I fall asleep after drinking too much?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a half-smile.¡±¡±When you¡¯re asleep, you¡¯ll cry until your throat goes hoarse in a bar or KTV room?¡± ¡°Would she be so bold as to openly seduce a wild man in my car when she was asleep?¡± .¡±Why didn¡¯t she remember when she hooked up with a wild man? She only remembered that Zuo Hancheng had an affair with his ex-girlfriend. Why did the world seem to have changed after she woke up from drinking? How did it become her problem? ¡°Wait, Zuo Hancheng.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She removed the pillow from her arms and turned to look at him. ¡°Why did you bring me back after I drank too much? I was clearly with Chunchun and Huang Amao¡­¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll let you spend the night outside?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her as if she was an idiot. ¡°If you can spend the night outside, why can¡¯t I?¡±Anhao immediately raised her eyes and glared at him. Of course, she had a stomachache and a headache now, so she did not have much strength to argue with him. She could only look at him weakly and could not raise her voice too high. She felt that her aura had decreased by half. Drinking was really too uncomfortable. ¡°Is that why you admit that you saw me at the banquet?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at him coldly. Anhao choked. No, shouldn¡¯t she be questioning him? She moved her lips and looked at him unwillingly.¡±¡±How did you¡­¡± ¡°What about me?¡± Zuo Hancheng curled his lips. ¡°Why don¡¯t you have any sense of shame? You went to the banquet to meet your ex-girlfriend, and now you¡¯re questioning me and admitting that I saw you there. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re really a man who grew up in the business world. You¡¯re too shameless. You can turn black into white. I¡¯m the one who should be blamed, okay?¡± ¡°Blame what? Blame me for receiving a call from Rongxue¡¯s bodyguard and going to the banquet to meet her, but you saw it from the side and hid to observe my every move?¡± Anhao was once again stunned by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shameless behavior. She felt that her brain cells were not working very well because of the headache. She was speechless. When she realized what she wanted to say, Zuo Hancheng said, ¡°¡±No matter what you saw, since you chose to believe me in the beginning, you should always believe me. Otherwise, your trust is too worthless.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She stood up abruptly, picked up the pillow beside her, and threw it at his face.¡±Zuo Hancheng, do you think my eyes are light bulbs that only know how to shine and can¡¯t tell right from wrong? Do you think I saw two puppets hugging each other? How can you have the nerve to make me believe you!¡± ¡°What did you see?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not feel like he had been caught cheating. Instead, he smiled calmly.. Chapter 386 - Chapter 386: The Left Boss Is Shameless (3) Chapter 386: The Left Boss Is Shameless (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked at his shamelessly boastful expression.¡±¡±l¡¯ve seen what I should see. What else do you want me to see? Did you see you and Miss Rong hugging outside? Did you see her leave in your car? Did you see the two of you go to a hotel or her house together?¡± Zuo Hancheng stared at her with his dark eyes. He was so angry that he wanted to give her a kick. However, a cold smile appeared in his eyes. Laugh! He was actually still smiling! Anhao raised her leg and was about to kick him when Zuo Hancheng grabbed her waist and stopped her legs from moving. His fingers were warm and firm as he pressed her against the sofa beside him to prevent her from doing anything violent in his arms. Anhao was pressed down on the sofa by him and her limbs were flailing wildly. In the end, she forced herself to sit up and looked at him angrily.¡±Don¡¯t think that you can bully me just because I¡¯m drunk and have no combat strength!¡± ¡°Since you didn¡¯t see me hugging anyone, nor did you see me bring any woman to my car, nor did you see me bring anyone to the hotel, how can you be sure that I did all these things?¡± ¡°Nonsense. You carried Rongxue out. If you didn¡¯t carry her to the car or find a place to stay, would you still be walking on the streets with her?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes viciously. Zuo Hancheng looked at her confident attitude as if she had x-ray vision. There was still a faint sneer in his eyes that made her puzzled. ¡°Who told you I drove to the banquet?¡± ¡°That night, there was a problem with the tires of my car. Mobai drove my car to the 4S shop. I didn¡¯t drive my own car that night.¡± ¡°Look, look, you went to meet your ex-girlfriend at night. You didn¡¯t even dare to drive your own car, afraid that your identity would be discovered. In the end, you were unlucky enough to be bumped into by me inside, right?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was cold, and his voice was calm with a hint of dominance.¡±¡±Do you really think that I have an affair with another woman? Are you so sure that when I hugged her that time, I was whispering sweet nothings into her ear? Don¡¯t you have any other ideas?¡± Anhao turned her head away and refused to argue with him. Zuo Hancheng snorted and threw the pillow back at her. Anhao turned her head abruptly. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re in the right. How dare you hit me?¡± ¡°After playing the lute to a cow for so long, it¡¯s already very gentle of me to drag you out and slaughter you when you¡¯re facing a stupid cow that doesn¡¯t understand anything. ¡°Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her as he got up and went upstairs. Seeing this, Anhao suddenly jumped up.¡±¡±Why are you going upstairs? The second floor is my territory. From today onwards, I¡¯ve decided to continue splitting it with you¡­¡± However, before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng went straight to the intersection between the first and second floor stairs. He closed the unused partition door that she had specially asked someone to install and locked it at the same time. He took the key and put it in his pocket. Ann¡¯s eyes almost popped out. She quickly ran over to stop him and took the key out of his trouser pocket. However, she was not as strong as him. She jumped in front of him for a long time but failed to grab the key. In the end, Zuo Hancheng took the key and threw it into an inconspicuous small safe under the coffee table. Anhao remembered that there was nothing in the small safe. It seemed to be just a decoration under the coffee table. She walked over angrily to pick up the safe, but she realized that she needed a password to open it. ¡°Why did you seal up the second floor?¡± Anhao threw the safe into his arms unhappily.¡±¡±Quickly take out the key. I want to live on the second floor!¡± ¡°From today onwards, don¡¯t think of finding an excuse to live separately at any time unless you want us to change our residence. How about a one-bedroom house? You either sleep in the bedroom or on the sofa. Do you like this kind of treatment?¡± An gritted her teeth in anger.¡± You¡¯re a tycoon. Of course, you can buy whatever house you want. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a one-bedroom apartment or an entire building. It¡¯s all a matter of blinking your eyes!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome eyebrows moved slightly. He did not have any intention of refuting and simply threw the small safe back into the drawer under the coffee table. ¡°Separating when you¡¯re angry. I¡¯ve really spoiled Gu Anhao¡¯s temper.¡± ¡°It¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re the one who was indecent outside. You hugged Rongxue and kissed her. I¡¯m already very grateful that I didn¡¯t file a divorce with you. How dare you seal my little world on the second floor?¡± Ann was furious. ¡°Try mentioning divorce again?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to waste any more time explaining things to her. Anyway, this wretched girl was now stuck in a dead end and there was no way she could get out of it. Seeing that he actually dared to threaten her, Anhao suddenly slapped the coffee table fiercely.¡±¡±You ran out to fool around with other people¡¯s women, and you have the cheek to shout at me?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled coldly.¡±¡±You dare to drag your friend out to have sex with a wild man after you¡¯re drunk? You have the nerve to yell at me?¡± ¡°Meet¡­¡± Anhao suddenly raised her hand that was hurting from the slap and rubbed her palm as she looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief.¡±¡±What date? When did I say I was going to take them on a date?¡± Zuo Hancheng threw a bunch of car keys over. ¡°There is an automatic recording device in the car.¡± Anhao looked at the electronic car key on the coffee table and was embarrassed. She didn¡¯t take it. She knew that she was not behaving normally when she was drunk, but how could she dare to bring up such a bold topic in front of Zuo Hancheng? She probably didn¡¯t even know that she was in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car! Anhao pursed her lips and looked at his cold expression.¡±¡±Anyway, I don¡¯t want to sleep with you.¡± ¡°Okay, you sleep on the sofa.¡± Zuo Hancheng stood up and gave her the seat on the sofa. At the same time, he turned around and walked straight to the bathroom. Anhao turned her head to look at his back, then at the locked isolation door on the second floor. Then, her gaze fell on the sofa in front of her. Why can¡¯t she sleep in the bedroom on the second floor and let her sleep on the sofa here? He was the one with the problem now. He should be the one sleeping on the sofa! Anhao rolled her eyes in the direction of the bathroom. It was almost dawn now, so why was she still taking a shower? What a germaphobe! She took advantage of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shower and went straight to the bedroom on the first floor. She knew that it was useless to lock the bedroom door. After all, this trick had failed many times in the past, so she simply took out the other pillow on the bed and threw it on the sofa. Then, she found another set of blankets and threw it on the sofa. She turned around and went back to the bedroom. She placed the only pillow in the middle of the bed and lay down with her legs and arms spread out, wanting to occupy the entire bed.. Chapter 387 - Chapter 387: The Left Boss Is Shameless (4) Chapter 387: The Left Boss Is Shameless (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Anyway, she definitely wasn¡¯t going to sleep on the sofa! It was quiet outside for a while. She thought that Zuo Hancheng saw her helping him take out the pillow and quilt. Then he continued to be a gentleman like before. Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open. Anhao closed her eyes tightly and continued to pretend to be asleep. She would not get up no matter what! ¡°Gu Anhao, are you sure you don¡¯t want to sleep on the sofa?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was neither cold nor warm. Anhao closed her eyes and didn¡¯t say a word. There was a moment of silence beside the bed. When she opened her eyes quietly, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had untied his bathrobe and belt. She immediately wrapped the blanket tightly around her body and said warily, ¡°How can you let a woman sleep on the sofa? Besides, I¡¯m still injured. Can¡¯t you see that there are still scratches on my arms and face? How can you be so shameless?¡± Zuo Hancheng used to be a gentleman. How could he be so shameless now? Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear her at all. The moment she finished speaking, he lay down beside her and even consciously reached out to pull the pillow under her head closer to him. He planned to sleep on the same pillow as her. ¡°Hey, Zuo Hancheng, where is your face?¡± Anhao stared at him speechlessly. Seeing that he was just calmly closing his eyes, it was obvious that he was going to sleep like this. She really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Zuo Hancheng had copied what she had done earlier. He closed his eyes and pretended to be dead. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Seeing that he was unmoved, she reached out and poked his shoulder.¡±Do you really think I can¡¯t beat you? Do you believe that I¡¯m afraid of myself when I go crazy? If you know what¡¯s good for you, go out and sleep on the sofa!¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and ignored her. ¡°Hey, hey, hey¡­¡± Anhao continued to poke his back with her hand.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, if you continue to be like this, you¡¯ll lose your Godhood completely. If your fans knew that you were so shameless, they would definitely think that they were blind back then. You! Out! Go! Sleep! Sand! Send!¡± There was still no reply. Anhao gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her leg to kick his thigh. When he stretched his arm behind him to resist, she bit his arm hard. At the same time, she felt him tremble in pain and took the opportunity to kick his waist and legs back and forth. She kicked Zuo Hancheng to the edge of the bed. He was about to turn over and grab her when she exerted her strength in anger. Bang! Hehehe, little bitches, your favorite left BOSS has fallen to the ground. Anhao sat up with a satisfied look on her face.¡±¡±Serves you right. I told you to snatch my bed! Zuo Hancheng, you weren¡¯t this shameless in the past. Who did you learn it from? Then, I¡¯ll give you two choices now. Either you open the door to the second floor or you sleep on the sofa!¡± There was no movement under the bed. A certain someone had tried to resist when he was kicked just now, but after being kicked down for so long, there was actually no sound at all, let alone getting up. Anhao looked down in confusion and saw that Zuo Hancheng had just successfully pulled the blanket over her and fell off the bed with it. He was covered under the blanket and did not move at all. ¡°Hello, Zuo Hancheng.¡± There was no response. ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°Hey, did you fall and cause a problem?¡±Anhao immediately moved to the side of the bed. She looked down and saw that he was still not moving. She bent down and reached out to lift the blanket on him to see what was going on. The bed wasn¡¯t very high, and there was such a high-end and soft carpet beside the bed. How could she possibly fall and hurt herself? However, since he did not move, Anhao still suspected that she had kicked him too hard. Could it be that she had injured Zuo Hancheng internally? ¡°Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t play dead. I¡¯m telling you, I only kicked your waist and legs just now. I didn¡¯t do anything to you. If you dare¡­¡± Ah-¡± Before Anhao could finish her muttering, she suddenly let out a scream. She was dragged down by the person under the bed. Before she could react, she was pressed against the carpet. She looked at Zuo Hancheng in shock, who was smiling provocatively. By the time she realized that she had fallen into his trap, he had already thrown the blanket back onto the bed and pinned her down on the carpet. There was a dark look in his eyes. ¡°Bastard! Let go of me! How can you be so childish, pretending to be dead!¡±Anhao immediately began to struggle under him, but the more she struggled, the more Zuo Hancheng pressed her down. During her struggle, he even took off her pajamas one by one. Anhao pushed him with all her might, but every time she resisted, he would resolve it one by one. Anhao was furious.¡±Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m going to sue you for rape!¡± Zuo Hancheng grabbed her dishonest wrist and pressed his forehead against hers. They had been playing with each other for so long, but he did not even take a deep breath. He pressed his head against hers ambiguously and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Sleep on the sofa or the bed? Hmm?¡± Anhao waved his hand away,¡±l sleep on the bed, you sleep on the sofa! ¡®¡±¡® Obviously, Zuo Hancheng was not satisfied with this answer. His subordinates had already continued with their original plan. When his hand reached between her legs, Anhao was forced to clamp her legs and shout, ¡°¡±School is about to start. If you force me again, I¡¯ll stay in school and make sure you don¡¯t see me!¡± ¡°You can try.¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and bit her fair neck. Anhao¡¯s entire body trembled, and because of his next move, she could not control her body and was led by him. She did not know how he carried her back to the bed and pressed her down again. She could not move her hands and legs, and could only stare at the man with obvious intentions.¡±Beast! He still didn¡¯t forget to do such a thing at a time like this!¡± ¡°When?¡± It was as if Zuo Hancheng was not in the same channel as her. She was in the channel of jealousy, anger, rage, and conflict, while he was still in the channel of love! She was furious, but he acted as if nothing had happened. It was as if he had punched cotton. Who could tolerate this? ¡°Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m warning you not to¡­ Uh¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was suddenly interrupted by the movement of his waist sinking, but she forced herself to raise her hand to push him. Zuo Hancheng pressed her hand down easily and continued to move his lower body. As Anhao¡¯s face gradually turned red and her voice gradually turned from a scream to an angry groan, he leaned down and kissed her gently by her ear. His low and hoarse voice echoed in her ears. ¡® I¡¯m safe, believe in me, I¡¯m in. It¡¯s not convenient now. I¡¯ll let you know the reason in the future.. Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Shameless Boss Zuo (5) Chapter 388: Shameless Boss Zuo (5) Translator: 549690339 What was the reason? How the hell would she know? But now, she wanted to curse or shout, but when it reached her mouth, it became¡­Uh¡­ This feeling was indescribable. It was so hot, so hot. His rationality was about to temporarily fall. Other than learning how to be shameless, this man actually knew how to use sex appeal to temporarily end the topic! However¡­ Anyway, if one day she really did not want to continue living with Zuo Hancheng, she could still hire him to be her bed-warming lover after the divorce! After all, she could not stop herself from seeing Zuo Hancheng in bed. The Zuo Hancheng in bed was completely opposite to his refined appearance. ¡°Okay, then that¡¯s it for the internship. Thank you, Secretary Lin.¡± After hanging up the phone, Anhao started to pack her luggage excitedly. She planned to go to C City for a few days. C City was an economic and trade city separated from A City by a province. She had never been there before. School would start in a few days. She had to go out and have fun before school started. Of course, the main reason was that Yi Zeyang had been in C City recently and had called her yesterday afternoon to ask if she wanted to go to C City for a few days of vacation. It was reasonable to say that Anhao would not take the initiative to get close to Yi Zeyang again. However, the scene she saw at the dinner party a few days ago and what happened at Rongxue¡¯s press conference had left a huge knot in her heart. She had been ignoring Zuo Hancheng for the past two days. Every day, her house was like a battlefield of gunpowder. Furthermore, Yi Zeyang was still two months away from his official marriage. C City was also a place that Yi Zeyang often took her to play when she was young. There were many happy memories of her childhood with Yi Zeyang, Uncle Yi, and her mother. Since Yi Zeyang would take the initiative to ask her to go over, it just so happened that she had been unhappy with Zuo Hancheng recently. Anyway, there were still two months before Yi Zeyang could be considered a real married man. It would be nice for her to go and play for a few days and find the feeling of her childhood. Hence, Anhao carried a handbag and a backpack and ran out of the door. When she took a taxi to the airport, she excitedly left a message for Huang Amao and Chunchun, saying that she would be back in two days and that she would go straight to school to look for them when she came back so that they could prepare for school. In the end, the reply he received was the two women rolling their eyes. Huang Amao then replied, ¡°Anhao, are you going to be two-timing?¡± Anhao,¡±What do you mean by two-timing?¡± Could it be that the officials were only allowed to set fires and not the common people to light lamps? Chunchun,¡±You¡¯re courting death!¡± I hope you don¡¯t get discovered by Zuo. Otherwise, you won¡¯t even know how you died. Anhao pursed her lips and put away her phone. After hesitating for a long time, she did not send a message to Zuo Hancheng. He could do whatever he wanted. In the past, she had thought that she was already married, so it was better not to get too close to Yi Zeyang. But now, she was a woman who had been hurt in her marriage. Even a married woman had the right to come out and have fun. Anhao no longer paid attention to the messages sent by the two women on her phone. She was only thinking about her schedule after she arrived at the airport. It was only a province away. She estimated that she would be able to fly to C City in an hour and a half. When she arrived at C City, she must go to the resort that she used to go to with her mother. She must relive the happy times when she was young. As the car slowed down, Anhao looked at the time and urged,¡±¡±Master, hurry up. You won¡¯t be able to catch the plane in a while.¡± The driver pointed in the direction ahead.¡± There¡¯s usually no traffic jam on this airport highway. But now, it¡¯s stuck for so long. Look, unless I fly over, I can¡¯t speed up anymore.¡±¡± Anhao looked ahead and saw that there were indeed two long lines in the traffic jam. She looked at the time again and was about to take out her phone to call Yi Zeyang to tell him that she might be late and ask him if he could change his flight. As soon as she picked up her phone, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar car from the corner of her eye. She didn¡¯t think much of it, but suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the car diagonally opposite her. The black Bentley that he was most familiar with! Why did the license plate number look so familiar? She looked at the car in disbelief. When the person in the car rolled down the window, she quickly raised her hand to cover her face. What was going on? Why was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car here? Did he intercept her halfway? They blocked the road in this direction while his car blocked the road in the other direction. As a result, the two cars missed each other and they could see the people in their respective cars through the front windows. It was too late when Anhao raised her hand. She heard the sound of the car door opening and closing. When he slowly put down his hand, he looked at the figure who had obviously just driven back from the airport after doing business. The car door was opened from the outside and Anhao sat stiffly in the car. Although the person outside the car did not say anything, the two of them stood facing each other. She turned to look at the tall figure outside.¡±Why do I run into you everywhere!¡± The driver also looked at the man who got out of the high-class Bentley beside him in surprise. The important thing was that the man was not an ordinary person. Moreover, the young lady in his car looked like a mouse who had seen a cat. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao, who was sitting in the car, refusing to get out of the car.¡±¡±Get out of the car. Anhao hugged the bag in her arms and refused to move. She looked at the driver with a pleading look and gave him a look, meaning to ask him for help. The driver was a little confused, but he had no choice. He could only point at the cars in front of him.¡±l can¡¯t drive away. There¡¯s a traffic jam. It¡¯s been stuck in traffic for so long. I really can¡¯t drive out.¡± Anhao immediately took out her wallet to pay for the car with a dejected expression. Then, she turned around and glared at Zuo Hancheng before she reluctantly got out of the car. After getting out of the car, she glared at him.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her dejected expression and saw that she was carrying a travel bag. It was as if he could see her willingness and intentions here. ¡°It¡¯s eleven in the morning now. I¡¯ve only left home for four hours. Where are you going with your bag?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her from head to toe with an inquisitive expression. Anhao had been quite calm when she was talking to Chunchun and Huang Amao just now, but now, she inexplicably didn¡¯t know how to answer. She couldn¡¯t help but clear her throat and push the backpack behind her up. She said in a clear voice, ¡°School is about to start, so I want to go out and play for two days before school starts.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going back¡± was stuck in his throat.. Chapter 389 - Chapter 389: The Left Boss Is Shameless (6) Chapter 389: The Left Boss Is Shameless (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡± I¡¯m not going back ¡± was stuck in her throat. She felt that if she had just left behind Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back, she would have at most told him about her whereabouts when she came back. But now, she was caught red-handed by him. The feeling was indescribable. If he had to describe it, it would only be the word f * ck! Anhao walked over to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car with her head hanging low. When she saw that he had opened the door for her, she reluctantly got in. On the other side, the road to the airport was still blocked, but the traffic in the direction of the airport had gradually dispersed. As soon as Anhao got into the car, Zuo Hancheng drove the car forward for more than ten meters before slowing down. After about five minutes, the traffic in front of them finally cleared up, and the car began to return to normal speed. Seeing that she really couldn¡¯t go to the airport, she could only sit up straight and look ahead, thinking about how to contact Yi Zeyang. If she sent him a message now, Zuo Hancheng would definitely see it. But if she didn¡¯t send it, Yi Zeyang would call her directly later. Wouldn¡¯t that make Zuo Hancheng¡¯s target even more obvious? ¡°I want to go to the toilet.¡± Anhao suddenly said. Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao immediately turned around and stared at him in disbelief.¡±¡±Are you speaking human language? How can I hold it in?¡± Zuo Hancheng still did not agree to her wanting to get off the car halfway. The car sped along the highway, and Anhao pretended to rummage through her bag as she asked,¡±¡±Why did you come back from the airport?¡± Zuo Hancheng caught a glimpse of her rummaging through her bag and snatched her phone away the moment she took it out. Anhao¡¯s hands were empty in an instant. She turned around in surprise and looked at the man with extremely fast hands. She was a little stunned. When her phone suddenly rang with the sound of a text message, her face tensed up even more, but she knew it was too late. Zuo Hancheng had already glanced at the contents of the message displayed on his phone screen as he drove. However, he did not get angry or anything like she had imagined. He only glanced at the content before putting her phone aside, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly, ¡°A friend from London is flying in this morning. Coincidentally, the airport has some air samples for new products to pick up today. I sent him to the airport to pick up the air crate and bring it back to the company.¡± Hearing his words, Anhao could only curse her bad luck in her heart. Why was there suddenly a traffic jam! If there wasn¡¯t a traffic jam, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to see her at all. At most, the two cars would just brush past each other. Anyway, it was impossible for him to see her clearly in the taxi when both cars were driving at such a high speed. But now, it was too late. Anhao sighed and continued to fiddle with her bag. However, she heard Zuo Hancheng say, ¡®¡±You¡¯re meeting Yi Zeyang at the airport?¡± How was she supposed to answer this question? If she answered yes, then wouldn¡¯t it seem like she was really going to elope with the person she had a crush on for many years? If he answered no, he would have seen the contents of the phone¡­ In the end, Anhao could only choose to remain silent. She had decided not to say anything to anger him to death! Suffocate him to death! Anyway, she hadn¡¯t thought of how to torture him! However, Zuo Hancheng was not in a hurry. He drove patiently and stopped at another traffic jam ahead. He picked up her phone and opened it to read the messages she had sent and received today. ¡°Only the officials are allowed to set fires and not the commoners to light lamps?¡±Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Why did I set the fire?¡± Anhao still didn¡¯t say anything and just looked ahead with a cold face. ¡°Is it because of Rongxue?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. It was obvious that he was talking nonsense. Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± How did I fall in love with you, girl? You¡¯re so stubborn and stubborn. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I would let you know the reason after I found out what I wanted to find out?!¡±¡® Anhao continued to roll her eyes and chose to respond silently. Why the hell would he know? If she hugged him, then she hugged him. Her temper didn¡¯t come easily. If there wasn¡¯t a reason to make her angry, she wouldn¡¯t go into a dead end! The chauvinism in this man¡¯s bones was actually very obvious. She was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, she could not win against him no matter how much she argued. It was better to save some energy and think of a countermeasure herself. Zuo Hancheng placed her phone back in her hands. Yi Zeyang sent her another message, asking why she was not here yet. Anhao held onto her phone, but she knew that it wasn¡¯t the time to reply. She sulked and threw her phone back into her bag. ¡°Looking at the content of the message, Yi Zeyang started contacting you yesterday. The two of you have been sending messages since yesterday.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said. Anhao looked at him strangely. There was no difference between making a call and sending a message. It was just a few words.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you notice anything strange?¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly felt that his little wife¡¯s IQhad dropped to a terrifying negative value recently because of jealousy. Anhao looked at him from the corner of her eyes again as if she was looking at a lunatic.¡±What is it? Don¡¯t say that I have an affair with Zeyang. I¡¯ll tell you clearly. Although I¡¯m in contact with him and I plan to go to C City with him today, that¡¯s because when I was still in the Yi family when I was young. We had very happy memories there. School is about to start. Coincidentally, he asked me if I wanted to go to C City. I wanted to go out and have a rest. He¡¯s already getting married. Even if we travel together, we definitely won¡¯t have any other thoughts!¡± After hearing her explanation, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes revealed a faint smile, but it did not reach his eyes. He continued to look at her coldly.¡±Why did he suddenly bring you to C City before the wedding?¡± ¡°Because he felt that after he got married, he would officially become someone else¡¯s husband. Even if we still maintain the pure relationship between brother and sister when we were young, it would definitely be inconvenient to communicate with each other. Therefore, he wanted to take me out for a walk before we got married.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just what you think.¡± ¡°What do you mean by only I think so? Could it be that Yi Zeyang is going to sell me out? Even if my relationship with Yi Zeyang is a little awkwvard now, he¡¯s not that kind of person. Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t judge a gentleman with your petty! ¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed coldly when he heard her words.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you ask me who I met when I just came back from the airport?¡± Anhao frowned.¡± What does it have to do with me who you met?¡± Did you meet Rongxue? That¡¯s impossible. Didn¡¯t she have surgery on her head? How could he be discharged so quickly?¡± When he heard the word ¡®Rong Xue¡¯ coming out of her mouth again, Zuo Hancheng immediately grabbed a tissue from the car and threw it at her head.. Chapter 390 - Chapter 390: The Left Boss Is Shameless (7) Chapter 390: The Left Boss Is Shameless (7) Translator: 549690339 When he heard the word ¡®Rong Xue¡¯ coming out of her mouth again, Zuo Hancheng immediately grabbed a tissue from the car and threw it at her head. Hehe, Zuo Hancheng had gone crazy! Anhao stared at him speechlessly.¡± Are you crazy? Why didn¡¯t you take off the steering wheel and smash me?¡±¡± ¡°If I had a brick in my hand, I would definitely smash you awake without hesitation. Forget about the steering wheel, it¡¯s too expensive.¡± He actually despised her for not even being worth the steering wheel of a Bentley! ¡°Who did you meet?¡± Anhao was angry, but she still asked curiously. After all, people like Zuo Hancheng wouldn¡¯t be so mystifying. ¡°Take out your phone and read all the messages from yesterday to today.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± Although Anhao didn¡¯t understand what he meant, she still took out her phone and looked at it again. She looked up and said,¡±¡±l¡¯m done.¡± ¡°The way the person who sent the message described it was Yi Zeyang¡¯s tone?¡± ¡°How could I tell from his tone? It¡¯s just that from the meticulous and patient way he explained things, it¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s the one.¡±Anhao said openly. The veins on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead twitched when he saw that she seemed to know Yi Zeyang better than his own husband. ¡°Besides, Yi Zeyang is as busy as you. It might not be convenient for him to call when he¡¯s in a meeting somewhere. Don¡¯t I text you often? After all, you can¡¯t answer the phone during meetings. Our communication method has almost deteriorated to the communication era ten years ago. I haven¡¯t complained yet.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, I¡¯m talking to you about serious matters. Don¡¯t change the topic.¡±Zuo Hancheng turned around with an ugly expression.¡±¡±When did your brain become so slow? You still haven¡¯t seen through this method of baiting you step by step?¡± Anhao looked at him once again in bafflement, then lowered her head to look at her phone.¡±¡±How did I get hooked? Yi Zeyang just asked me if I wanted to go to C City for a vacation. He¡¯s going there for a business trip and he¡¯s bringing me there. That¡¯s all.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her for a long time with a resentful expression. ¡°Who did you see at the airport?¡± Anhao asked curiously.¡± ¡°Qi Weiran.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered expressionlessly. The surprise in Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually cooled down. She picked up her phone again and looked at it repeatedly. In the end, he put down his phone, still feeling incredulous. ¡°This is Yi Zeyang¡¯s number¡­¡¯ ¡°Yi Zeyang went to France recently and will only be back in about half a month. It¡¯s easy for his fianc¨¦e to keep his phone in China.¡± Anhao was speechless and only came back to her senses after a long time.¡±¡±But I don¡¯t have any grudges against Qi Weiran. Even if she knew that I used to be by Yi Zeyang¡¯s side when I was young, she wouldn¡¯t have used such a method to trick me into going to the airport. Besides, what could she do after I went to the airport? You can¡¯t tie me to a plane and let the plane take me to Africa, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and tapped her little head with his fingers.¡±¡±Jealousy can easily block your brain cells. Look at how stupid you are now. It¡¯s obviously not a wise move to let you live alone in school after school starts. I should let you go home every day so that I can supervise you.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± The smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes gradually faded.¡± The Qi family and the Gu family are old friends. You¡¯ve been in the Gu family for five years and didn¡¯t realize that Gu Tianming was very close to Qi Weiran¡¯s father and grandfather?¡¯¡±¡® Anhao shook her head.¡± I rarely see outsiders in the Gu family. Even if there are outsiders, I have to stay in a corner. How would I know so much? There are all kinds of people coming and going. I can¡¯t remember them.¡±¡® Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment this time. The cars in front of him were evacuated again. He started the car and drove forward. ¡°In the future. if you want to meet someone. remember to confirm your identity over the phone before you act.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and continued to read the contents on her phone. After hesitating for a moment, she replied to Yi Zeyang¡¯s number: ¡°I¡¯m at the airport. Why didn¡¯t I see you?¡± ¡®Yi Zeyang¡¯ quickly replied,¡±¡±Where? I just went to the washroom and came out. I¡¯ll go find you.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes turned cold as she continued to reply quickly: ¡°I see you. Turn left, turn left again, turn left again, and then walk through the glass door in front of you.¡± There was no reply this time. After a long time, he replied,¡±You said you saw Such an answer¡­ Obviously, it was not Yi Zeyang. Anhao suddenly felt that it was a little ridiculous. She put down her phone and looked ahead. Of course, she was not sad because Qi Weiran had lied to her. She was sad that she could no longer trust the person she had trusted the most since she was young. Even if there was nothing wrong with Yi Zeyang, he was now related to the Yi family, the Qi family, and even the Gu family. Everything was no longer as pure as before. Who else could she trust in the future? Anhao slowly turned her head to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile as he drove.¡±¡±lf the Qi family and the Gu family are family friends, what effect will it have on me? Did this mean that Gu Shishi had not returned home yet, and the Gu family was already thinking of ways to seek help from the Qi family¡¯s influence in the military?¡± ¡°More or less.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her. He only looked at the road ahead calmly. His voice was cold and clear. ¡°The old general of the Qi family must have a high status in the military, right? Was he related to General Ouyang? Will it implicate you?¡± Zuo Hancheng still did not look at her, but his lips curved slightly.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you look like you were going to elope with someone else just now? Now you want to concern me?¡± Anhao suppressed her anger, [I just want to know that I won¡¯t implicate you! J¡± ¡°As long as you don¡¯t neglect your defense and don¡¯t make frequent mistakes, there won¡¯t be any problems.¡± In the end, he was still blaming her for her negligence. How could she have thought that Yi Zeyang¡¯s phone would be in Qi Weiran¡¯s hands? How would she know that the Qi family and the Gu family had joined forces? How would she know that she had just rushed into the tiger¡¯s den! ¡°Then what should I do now? Should she not contact the Gu family in the future and avoid the Qi family as much as possible?¡± Zuo Hancheng silently drove the car from the highway into the downtown area of A City and said softly,¡±¡±Be careful of the Qi and Gu families, be careful of Qi Weiran, and be careful of Yi Zeyang.¡± Hearing the name Yi Zeyang, Anhao¡¯s expression froze. She wanted to ask him what Yi Zeyang had to do with it. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words had always been reliable, even though he could not rule out the possibility that he had dragged Yi Zeyang into this because he was jealous. However, it was never wrong to be careful. Although she didn¡¯t want her relationship with the Yi family to be too strained, she had remembered what happened today. Anhao looked at the text message displayed on her phone screen again. Qi Weiran was asking her where she was, but Anhao chose to ignore it and threw her phone back into her bag.. Chapter 391 - Chapter 391: The Left Boss Is Shameless (8) Chapter 391: The Left Boss Is Shameless (8) Translator: 549690339 Qi Weiran continued to bombard Anhao¡¯s phone even after Anhao was sent back to Liujing Garden. Anhao didn¡¯t respond. After all, it was meaningless to call someone who harbored ill intentions. Besides, Zuo Hancheng had warned her not to go anywhere before school started. Anhao could only sit at home and look at the messages on her phone. She sighed silently. The other party had obviously noticed that something was wrong. After that, Qi Weiran began to use her original mask and tone to speak, saying that she wanted to see her. An Anhao looked at the messages for a long time and finally decided to blacklist Yi Zeyang¡¯s number. Finally, the world was quiet¡­ The day before school started, Anhao was waiting for Chunchun and Huang Amao at the milk tea shop near the school. The two of them packed up the things that they were going to move back to the dormitory after school started and came straight to her. Seeing Anhao¡¯s listless expression, Chunchun and Huang Amao walked over and patted her shoulder.¡±¡±Have you been in a low mood recently?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, you look pale too. What¡¯s wrong? Is your Boss Zuo working so hard every night that you don¡¯t have time to sleep?¡±Huang Amao smiled lecherously and sat opposite Anhao. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, and she let go of her habit and said lazily, ¡°¡±Not only have I been in a bad mental state recently, but my physical condition is also not very good. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong, but after waking up and eating breakfast, I feel sleepy again. I just want to sleep all kinds of things, as if I don¡¯t have enough sleep.¡± Chunchun pursed her lips.¡± Huang Amao laughed.¡± I knew it. It must be because your Boss Zuo is too powerful. That¡¯s why you can¡¯t sleep well. ¡®¡±¡® ¡°What¡¯s so great about it? I was planning to negotiate with him tonight.¡± ¡°About what?¡± ¡°I want to live on campus after school starts.¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao shook their heads at the same time.¡±¡±Definitely ¡± not. ¡°That¡¯s why I said I wanted to negotiate!¡± ¡± Also, after Zuo Hancheng took me away from Huan Mei last time, he seemed to have a lot of opinions about the two of you. So, the two of you must join me in boycotting Zuo Hancheng.¡¯¡±¡® Chunchun¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I went a little overboard with what I said to Zuo Hancheng that day. I regretted it later. Now that you want me to boycott him, why don¡¯t you let me never see him again?¡¯¡±¡® Huang Amao shrugged.¡± That day, Chunchun really yelled at Boss Zuo because of you. You don¡¯t even know the look in Boss Zuo¡¯s eyes. Anhao¡­¡± Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± You have the guts to cause a ruckus at Rongxue¡¯s press conference. Why don¡¯t you join me in boycotting Zuo Hancheng?¡±!¡± ¡°Speaking of Rongxue¡¯s injury, I¡¯m still skeptical about it. ¡°Chunchun suddenly said, ¡°Have you heard? Rong Xue was out of danger a few days ago, and the media was very concerned about her injury. However, the incident where Zuo Hancheng slapped her in front of the media seemed to have been forgotten by everyone.¡± ¡°So?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± ¡°So, is this a self-directed and self-directed drama by Rongxue? With such a huge billboard falling down, 90% of the people would probably be killed. Otherwise, why would everyone at the scene be so nervous? However, Rong Xue only suffered a head injury and was out of danger so quickly. Then, the media¡¯s initial speculation about her relationship with you and your husband also died down with this incident.¡± Huang Amao nodded and said, I also suspect that Rongxue was the one who planned that incident. After all, no matter what she said at the press conference, Boss Zuo defended you in front of the media and denied his relationship with Rongxue. He even directly stated that he had ended his relationship with her five years ago and covered up her injury. This must be Rongxue¡¯s plan to regain everyone¡¯s attention in front of the media and cover up Mrs. Zuo¡¯s reputation in front of the media.¡± ¡°What a scheming woman. No wonder she got so many lead roles in Hollywood after only a few years. The people in the entertainment industry are really scary. ¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just bit her milk tea cup and silently thought about what happened at the press conference that day. She had already forgotten where Rong Xue had been injured. She only remembered that when the fans surrounded her, Zuo Hancheng had returned and brought her out of the crowd. Rong Xue seemed to be seriously injured at that time. It could be seen from the blood on her head and face. ¡°Is her face hurt?¡± Anhao suddenly asked. Chunchun and Huang Amao shook their heads.¡± No, she¡¯s not. Go and read yesterday¡¯s Planet X magazine yourself. There was an interview with Rongxue in the hospital ward. Rongxue¡¯s head was wrapped in bandages. She was a sickly beauty, but her face was clean without any injuries.¡± ¡± I think it was written in the magazine that Rongxue was hit on the back of her head and neck, which almost affected her brain. The media said that it was fortunate that Rongxue had always been a positive actress and had donated so many donations to the poor. Good people get rewarded, so she was fine. Anyway, the media praised her to the heavens because of her injury.¡± Anhao snorted.¡± Star X Magazine is another entertainment magazine media company under Tiansheng Entertainment. Speaking of which, it seems that we really thought too simply of people in the beginning.¡±¡® ¡°I wonder if Zuo Hancheng can guess this.¡±Chunchun pouted. Anhao did not say anything else. She thought about how Zuo Hancheng had not seen Rong Xue after he sent her to the ambulance outside the hotel where the press conference was held. He did not send Rong Xue to the hospital himself, nor did he visit her. Perhaps he knew, but he didn¡¯t mention it to her. ¡°Ahhhhhhh, I see him again!¡± Huang Amao suddenly looked out of the window as if he was having a stroke. Anhao and Chunchun looked at her as if she was crazy and turned to look outside at the same time. The handsome Ferrari parked his car in the parking space opposite the milk tea shop. After getting out of the car, he went straight to the fruit shop next door. He bought a basket of fruits and some nutritional supplements before walking out and putting them in the car. Looking at the things he bought, it seemed like he was going to visit someone in the hospital. Anhao glanced in that direction and once again quietly raised her hand to cover half of her face. When he seemed to have noticed their gazes and inadvertently looked in the direction of the milk tea shop window, Huang Amao was so excited that he almost leaned on the glass to greet him. ¡°Huang Amao, you better pray that this kid isn¡¯t a new transfer student from our school. Otherwise, I reckon you can forget about preparing for the college entrance examination. You get excited every day when you see people.¡± The car had already driven away. Anhao slowly put down her hand.¡±lt can¡¯t be that coincidental, right?¡± ¡°I live in the Shangtai apartment next to the school.. If I didn¡¯t go to A High School to study, who would stay here?¡± Chapter 392 - Chapter 392: The Left Boss Is Shameless (9) Chapter 392: The Left Boss Is Shameless (9) Translator: 549690339 ¡°If he really came to our school to study, do you think he¡¯s a senior or a sophomore?¡±Huang Amao was still excited. Chunchun and Anhao dragged her out of the milk tea shop speechlessly. When she got home that night, Anhao was about to take her phone out of her bag when she found a magazine in her bag. It was the Planet X magazine that Chunchun and the others were talking about. She could not help but flip through two pages. When she saw the photos and content of Rongxue¡¯s interview in the ward, she only glanced at it briefly before throwing it on the coffee table. These two lunatics thought that Rong Xue¡¯s presence was not strong enough. How could they secretly put such a magazine in her bag and force her to live in Rong Xue¡¯s shadow all the time? Recently, she had been really sleepy. Anhao almost suspected that she had become a sleeping god. She slept for more than two hours when she got home. She only opened her eyes when she heard the sound of a car outside. She got up and looked at the time. It was already past eight o¡¯clock in the evening. She got up and walked out of the bedroom. She saw Zuo Hancheng entering the room. She scratched her head and narrowed her eyes.¡±l¡¯m starting school tomorrow. Can you let me stay on campus?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. He did not change his shoes or take off his coat like he usually did when he returned home. He looked at her sleeping so soundly that he could not tell which direction she was in.¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you clearly that you can¡¯t?¡± Anhao immediately put down her hand. After school starts, I¡¯ll have to study hard like the other students until the college entrance examination in June. You can¡¯t expect me to rush from A High School to Liu Jing Garden every day, right?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have seen through her at a glance. ¡°You can still obediently pick up your books and revise at home every day. If you were allowed to stay on campus, I¡¯m afraid you would visit all the bars in A City to relieve your loneliness for the past six months!¡± As expected, Zuo Hancheng was the only one who knew her. He could tell at a glance why she wanted freedom. ¡°But I can¡¯t go home every day. If I go home every day like this, I won¡¯t have any personal space at all. I don¡¯t even have time to go out and play with my sisters. Didn¡¯t I already say that the purest and most sincere time in a friendship is during junior high and high school? You can¡¯t possibly not give me the innocence of these last few months, right¡­¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be moved, Anhao raised a finger and said, ¡°¡±How about this? I¡¯ll stay at school from Monday to Saturday and stay at home on Sunday.¡± Zuo Hancheng shot her a cold glance.¡± It¡¯s not impossible to give you some privacy. You only have one day to stay on campus every week. You can choose any other day to stay at home.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao widened her eyes. I clearly said that I was only going home for a day!¡± ¡°This is my only concession. Don¡¯t think that just because I¡¯m spoiling you now, I¡¯ll completely indulge your willfulness. The words I said when I first brought you into the Gilded Scenic Garden are still valid. Don¡¯t even think about getting lucky with me.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng did not give her any room to refute. He looked at the time and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to the exhibition hall in the city center to meet an international friend tonight. I probably won¡¯t be able to make it back tonight.¡¯ Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Can¡¯t you make an exception? Can you stay on campus for two days a week?¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already left the room. The sound of the door closing was his response to her. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, this is exploitation! This is taking away my personal freedom! I¡¯m still a student. I have the right to choose whether to live at home or on campus!¡±Annoyed, she grabbed a pillow from the sofa and threw it at the door. The bolster hit the door lightly and fell to the ground. At the same time, the sound of a car could be heard from outside. It was obvious that no matter how angry she was, Zuo Hancheng would not give her any more leeway. Anhao was about to call the principal and ask him to tell Zuo Hancheng to make it easier for the students to tutor them. All Year Three students would request to stay on campus before the college entrance examination. However, before she could get her phone, she suddenly stopped. She had almost forgotten that the principal had been replaced! The current principal was someone that Zuo Hancheng had planted from the Education Bureau. Wasn¡¯t she courting death by calling the principal? ¡°The heavens want me dead!¡± Anhao had planned to sneak into school alone in the morning during the start of the semester, but she was still caught red-handed by Zuo Hancheng. Just as she ran out of the residential area, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car stopped in front of her. The news on Facebook and the media had already exposed her identity as Mrs. Zuo. She did not know how many rumors she would have to face when she returned to school. She wanted to keep a low profile and go to school alone to avoid being pointed at. In the end, Zuo Hancheng shattered even her small wish. Anhao sat in the car with one hand on her chin and looked out the window gloomily. When she reached A High School, she looked at the students walking back and forth at the school gate and did not have the courage to get out of the car. She, Gu Anhao, had seen everything in the past three years. She had always been the bravest, and Young Master An was never to be trifled with. But now that Young Master An had become Mrs. Zuo, his face had become thinner overnight. ¡°Why? Are you reluctant to say goodbye to your husband?¡± Hearing that evil voice, Anhao suddenly turned around and glared at him. ¡°Don¡¯t be narcissistic. I¡¯m just thinking about how many boys in A High will be teased by me after my identity is exposed. With the name of Mrs. Zuo in front of them, what if they don¡¯t like to stand with me during physical education class in the future!¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly pinched her chin. When Anhao frowned and glared at him in dissatisfaction, he lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her lips.¡±This is good.¡± ¡°Good your head! In the past, even if I had a bad reputation in A High School, there were at least some boys who were close to me in private. This time, apart from Chunchun and Huang Amao, I was really alone!¡± As she spoke, she reluctantly pushed him away. She picked up her canvas bag and school bag and got out of the car. Without looking back, she went straight to the gate of A University. She ignored all the gazes around her and quickly rushed in. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the phone that she had left on the seat when she got out of the car in a moment of excitement. ¡°Hey, look, isn¡¯t that the car I saw on the news not long ago¡­¡± ¡°I think so. That license plate number looks very similar!¡± ¡°Could it be the legendary Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°Oh my god, I think I saw Gu Anhao get out of that car just now.. Is Gu Anhao really married? She hadn¡¯t even graduated from high school and she was already married? So what the news said was true!¡± Chapter 393 - Chapter 393: The Left Boss Is Shameless (10) Chapter 393: The Left Boss Is Shameless (10) Translator: 549690339 As it was the first day of school, Anhao couldn¡¯t bring her bag and phone into the classroom. Even after leaving her phone for three hours, Anhao still didn¡¯t realize that she had forgotten to bring her phone. The black Bentley drove back to Liu Jing Garden. Zuo Hancheng walked into the house. He had not slept a wink because he had met a few important international friends last night. He looked a little tired, but when he walked to the coffee table, he saw the Planet X magazine on it. On the cover page of the magazine were the words ¡± Exclusive Exploration of Alice Snow¡¯s Hospital ¡°. Zuo Hancheng read the magazine quietly and did not move. In the end, he turned around and sat on the sofa. He massaged the space between his eyebrows to relieve his fatigue. His eyes did not linger on the magazine. Just as Zuo Hancheng leaned back on the sofa and almost fell asleep, his phone suddenly rang, causing him to open his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes was instantly replaced by his usual clarity. The call was picked up, and Wenner¡¯s voice was heard.¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, I¡¯ve already found out about Anhao¡¯s mother¡¯s background and experience. Do you want to take a look now or wait until you have time?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the time and asked,¡±¡±Where are you?¡± ¡°In my apartment.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go over now.¡± 1 PM. Anhao could finally return to her dormitory after the morning¡¯s report. However, she couldn¡¯t find her phone even after rummaging through her bag for a long time. She couldn¡¯t help but wonder if she had left it there. Motherf * cker, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! He lost his phone on the first day of school! It won¡¯t be good for the entire semester! After rummaging through all her belongings, Anhao had to admit that she had lost her phone. She carried her textbooks to class with a listless expression. She did not even bother to look at the students who were pointing at her on the way. ¡°Gu Anhao¡¯s hair has really grown longer. I thought I was seeing things on TV, but I didn¡¯t expect it to really be her! At that time, I saw that the person in the news had quite long hair and thought that it was just because she looked like Gu An. I didn¡¯t expect that she would get married when she was about our age!¡± ¡°She really married Zuo Hancheng? The CEO of Shengling Group? Did it have to be so exaggerated? Wasn¡¯t she the illegitimate daughter of the mayor¡¯s family? I remember Han Ru telling us when we were still in school that Mayor Gu¡¯s family doesn¡¯t like Gu Anhao very much. They want her to die quickly¡­¡± ¡°Did you guys watch Facebook before watching the news on TV? That was the biggest news, alright? Zuo Hancheng is an international business idol, a high-end elite of the upper class. This is the first time he used Social networks to talk, and he posted Gu Anhao¡¯s photo. I recognized her immediately when I saw that photo!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao¡¯s walking now feels as if there¡¯s wind under her feet. She must be very pretentious in her heart!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Previously, Han Ru mysteriously disappeared and the previous principal was changed. It must have something to do with her!¡± ¡°Do you think it¡¯s illegal for her to get married at such a young age¡­¡± ¡°Are you stupid? Gu An is one year older than all of us. She¡¯s already twenty years old and has reached the legal age for marriage! What law?¡± ¡°But how could she have married Zuo Hancheng? It was the first time I saw that Prince Charming¡¯s face on the news, and he was in the same frame as Gu Anhao! Oh my god, this must be a nightmare. Please wake me up!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not good to offend her in the first place. Now that she has someone backing her up, we should just pray for ourselves in the few months before the college entrance examination¡­ ¡°Why are you so timid? How could a business tycoon like Zuo Hancheng only have one wife? Perhaps Gu Anhao had used some tricks, but there must be a bunch of mistresses behind her. What was Gu Anhao afraid of? You guys know about Rong Xue, right? If Rong Xue had not exposed it in front of the media, the matter between Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao would not have been exposed. Don¡¯t forget that a woman like Rong Xue was still standing in front of Gu Anhao! ¡± ¡® That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Gu Anhao is so inexperienced. How can she be the wife of a wealthy family? She might be chased out of the house in less than a month¡­¡± No matter how much he ignored Zhou Zao¡¯s words, there were always a few words that he could hear. She, Gu Anhao, was now a little more worried. After all, she was a celebrity now, right? She had to keep her face, right? Otherwise, she would just turn around and kick those people who had a foul mouth down. At most, she would be given a major demerit on the first day of school. Haha, didn¡¯t they say so anyway? She had someone backing her up now. Anyway, no one dared to force her to drop out of school now! Right, who would dare to remember her big mistake now? You don¡¯t want to live anymore? Anhao stopped in her tracks and started to throw down her bag, preparing to turn around and hit someone. However, just as she raised her hands to move her wrists, she was suddenly grabbed by Huang Amao who rushed over. ¡°Anhao, someone, someone is looking for you!¡± Anhao looked at Huang Amao, who was stuttering.¡±¡±Who¡¯s looking for me?¡± Huang Amao, on the other hand, couldn¡¯t complete her sentence as she was panting. She could only point in the direction of the classroom with excitement and envy in her eyes. Seeing Huang Amao¡¯s anxious expression, Anhao had no choice but to pick up her bag and glance behind her reluctantly. She wanted to see which fearless person dared to delay Young Master An from beating someone up. Now that she had lost her phone and was being mocked behind his back, she felt extremely depressed. If the other party was not the person she wanted to see, she would definitely be the first to KO him! As soon as she walked into the teaching building, she realized that a group of people were looking at her as if she was a monster. Oh, no. Since the morning, these people had been looking at her as if she was a monster. Right now, he was just looking up at some kind of monster. Yes, he was looking up. Did something big happen? What kind of expressions did these people have? Besides, it was so quiet in the teaching building. Wasn¡¯t it time for lunch break to end and prepare for class? Anhao looked at them strangely. She was going to climb the stairs out of habit. After all, the elevators in the teaching building were usually only used by the school leaders, some professors with special circumstances, and foreign leaders. However, Huang Amao dragged her into the elevator. ¡°Who is it?¡± Anhao was still a little puzzled.¡± If someone finds out that I entered the elevator so casually during school, will they deduct points?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Who dares to deduct your points now!¡± Huang Amao seemed to have finally caught his breath.¡±¡±You¡¯re clearly the ancestor of our school now. No one dares to offend you, okay?¡± What was wrong with this guy¡­ Anhao rolled her eyes at her.¡± Stop fooling around. I lost my phone and was feeling depressed. I wanted to beat someone up just now, but you pulled me back. I¡¯m holding back my anger and I¡¯m very, very unhappy now..¡¯¡±¡® Chapter 394 - Chapter 394: The Left Boss Is Shameless (11) Chapter 394: The Left Boss Is Shameless (11) Translator: 549690339 Huang Amao, on the other hand, suddenly bumped her shoulder with his shoulder.¡±¡±Previously, Chunchun and I were afraid that you would be wronged. Now, you¡¯re really envious.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Anhao was still in a daze. However, the elevator door had already opened. When she walked out, she saw that the usually noisy corridor was strangely quiet. When she walked in the direction of the classroom, she suddenly saw a tall and slender figure standing in front of the window opposite their classroom door. Anhao stopped in her tracks. Why was Zuo Hancheng here? Most importantly, Zuo Hancheng was just standing there quietly. Just his profile alone gave off an indescribable feeling. His steady and powerful aura made people flinch. Moreover, a person like him stood outside the noisy Year Three classroom and seemed very out of place. This feeling was different from when she was wronged by the principal and he came to help her. At that time, she felt a little guilty, a little excited, and a little eager. Now, she was in all kinds of shock, all kinds of shock, and all kinds of shock! Something bad must have happened if he suddenly came to school to look for her! Anhao thought to herself. When she walked over, she saw that the classroom door was already surrounded by three circles of people. All of them were peeking out and staring in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction as if they were trying to grow their eyes on him. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Anhao walked behind him and asked with a puzzled expression. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. There seemed to be some emotion in his eyes, but it was only for a moment. He handed her phone directly. ¡°So it¡¯s with you!¡± Anhao took the phone and felt a little awkward.¡¯¡±¡®l left it in your car this morning.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched but he did not say anything. His eyes never left her. Anhao took a look at her phone and saw that it was still fully charged. Her mood immediately improved a lot. She grinned and waved her phone at him.¡±Thanks, I thought I lost it!¡± ¡°What did you eat for lunch?¡± Zuo Hancheng said as he raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her head. Anhao froze for a moment and heard the sound of gasps coming from the classroom door. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t show off your affection here. I¡¯ll be drowned in their saliva!¡± Her face was burning.¡± ¡°Before you drown, someone would have already lost their arms and legs. Who dares to drown you?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. Anhao froze and turned to look at the window in front of him. From this position, she could see the part of the field where she had just left the dormitory and walked to the teaching building. It was obvious that he had seen her throwing her bag down and getting ready to hit him again! Suddenly, the door of the classroom next door was knocked. Anhao looked up and saw the male student who had secretly written her a love letter earlier leaning against the back door of the classroom next door. He was leaning against the glass of the door and looking in this direction. She snapped back to her senses and looked up at Zuo Hancheng. She saw the hint of a triumphant smile in his eyes and rolled her eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t it very low to play this kind of trick with a high school boy?¡±She had a smile on her face, but her mouth was full of mockery. She actually came here with a motive to show off her affection. She was indeed too naive in front of a person like Zuo Hancheng! When Huang Amao pushed the person at the door into the classroom, she grabbed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand and walked towards the elevator.¡±¡± The phone has been delivered. Hurry up and do your thing. The international president of Shengling Group came to A High to give me a phone. My life will be shortened.¡± Anyway, she didn¡¯t really want to see him recently. However, the moment Zuo Hancheng was pushed into the elevator, he grabbed her and she stumbled into his arms. The elevator doors closed at the same time. She quickly stood up straight and took a step back.¡±l think we should set a rule! How about the three rules?¡± Zuo Hancheng seemed to have heard what she said. He glanced at the number on the elevator and asked, ¡°¡±You didn¡¯t eat anything for lunch?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she answered patiently,¡±¡±l went back to the dormitory to look for my phone at noon, so I didn¡¯t have time to eat.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten either. What are you going to treat me to?¡± Anhao looked at him in disbelief.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you exploiting me? It¡¯s only the first day of school, and you haven¡¯t even given me my living expenses!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I put 50 yuan in your bag this morning?¡± The corner of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± You¡¯re good, I¡¯ve never seen anyone with a better memory than you!¡±¡± She still remembered the rule set last semester. If she confiscated her card when school started, how could she keep staying in school? She would starve to death! It was obvious that he was forcing her to go home every day as promised! Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t thirty, but fifty. Otherwise, she would have cried in front of him when she got into the car this morning. ¡± What can 50 yuan buy you? A vegetarian soup and rice in a high-end restaurant costs more than 100 yuan¡­¡± Anhao muttered softly. ¡°The taste of the instant noodles in your school canteen is still very nostalgic.¡± Zuo Hancheng gave her a choice. At the same time, when the elevator door opened, he calmly walked out of the building, ignoring the students who were staring at him with wide eyes. Anhao was speechless at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shamelessness, but the instant noodles were still affordable. Since he wanted to recall it again, she could not be too stingy with the three yuan fifty cents. After all, if she sold that set of jewelry, it would be enough for her to eat instant noodles for decades! She also chose to ignore the different looks from her schoolmates and jogged after them. When the two of them walked into the cafeteria, the aunties in the cafeteria looked at them with surprise. Anhao pursed her lips and walked behind Zuo Hancheng, muttering softly, ¡°¡±Why don¡¯t we change places to eat? Now that they all know you, it¡¯ll be so uncomfortable to be watched by others while eating here.¡± ¡°The last time we ate here, no one was watching?¡±Zuo Hancheng immediately sat on the same seat as last time. Anhao was speechless. Fine, fine, fine, you, Zuo Hancheng, are the boss! The last time, you were surrounded by people because you were too outstanding. Today, you were still thinking about the love letter you saw two months ago and specially came here to declare ownership. She, Gu Anhao, was a miserable person. The poorer she was, the more he squeezed her. ¡°..¡±Anhao gripped the chopsticks in her hand tightly.¡±¡±lt¡¯s just two ham sausages, and you¡¯re still so calculative!¡± Zuo Hancheng put down his chopsticks and looked at her. He had an expression that said,¡± I¡¯m going to argue with you today..¡± Chapter 395 - Chapter 395: The Left Boss Is Shameless (12) Chapter 395: The Left Boss Is Shameless (12) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng put down his chopsticks and looked at her. He had an expression that said,¡± I¡¯m going to argue with you today.¡± Anhao choked and finally gave in. She took out two coins from her pocket and rushed into the canteen¡¯s small store. After buying two ham sausages, she ran back and slapped them on the dining table. When Zuo Hancheng reached out to take them, she glared at his hand and said very clearly,¡±One for each person!¡± Zuo Hancheng obviously did not have any objections and was more satisfied with her errand service this time. Anhao rolled her eyes at him, picked up her own bowl, opened it, and put it in the instant noodles. Then, she looked out from time to time as she ate. Because it was already the beginning of the afternoon class, the students who were still watching outside the cafeteria had been ordered to return to the classroom by the teachers and the principal. Fortunately, there were not many people watching. However, Zuo Hancheng had a lot of influence. He had come to school to give her a phone, and the principal had to step forward to control the students who were about to become violent. It was better for people like Zuo Hancheng to not appear in their school. Otherwise, there would definitely be parents complaining about their children being bullied. After finishing her so-called lunch, Zuo Hancheng looked at her school bag on the dining table. It seemed to be very heavy. Anhao immediately showed off how hard she worked. She reached out and sat beside him. She picked up her school bag and flipped through it in front of him.¡±Look, this is an English book, this is a chemistry book, and this is a physics book¡­This was¡­ This is the mock test paper that the teacher issued this morning. This is our¡­¡± Anhao rambled on and on about the pile of her own. She was about to accept Zuo Hancheng¡¯s praise when she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She slowly turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng leaning his head on her shoulder. He seemed to have fallen asleep. Anhao blinked her eyes. Wasn¡¯t this scene a little too disillusioned? How tired must he be to fall asleep after listening to her speak for less than two minutes? Didn¡¯t he go home to rest in the morning? Usually, when he had something to do in the company that required him to stay up all night, didn¡¯t he always take some time out the next morning to catch up on sleep? Was there no one today? Was Zuo Hancheng sick in the head to give her a phone instead of sleeping? Anhao sat quietly in her chair. Tsk tsk, this is great. You can¡¯t blame her for not going to class. She skipped class on the first afternoon of the first day of school, and it was all because of Big Boss Zuo. If he dared to ask her why she skipped class, she would splash instant noodles soup on his face. But it wasn¡¯t good to sleep on her shoulder, right? Even if no students came out to watch, the old men in the canteen, as well as some cooking and cleaning aunties, would glance at them from time to time. The important thing was that if they slept like this, they would be very tired. However, after thinking about it, she didn¡¯t know where to let him sleep. He was probably too tired, so he, who was usually not so casual, actually fell asleep leaning on her like this. Inexplicably, Anhao felt that this was a sign of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s trust in her. She straightened her sitting posture and continued to let him lean on her. Then, she took out her book from her bag and flipped to the content for the first class in the afternoon. She then picked up the dictionary in her bag and began to self-study. It was not until more than forty minutes later that Anhao suddenly sneezed because the canteen was open for ventilation. Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes and endured the soreness in her shoulder. She turned around and looked at him.¡±Did I wake you up? If there¡¯s nothing else, continue sleeping. I just sneezed¡­¡± Seeing that she was enduring the pain despite her sore shoulders, Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and gently pressed on her shoulders.¡±¡±There¡¯s no rush. It¡¯s not too late to hug you to sleep when you get home at night.¡± Anhao immediately put away her book and said unwillingly,¡±¡±l¡¯m going to class!¡± ¡°What time will school end?¡± Zuo Hancheng pressed her shoulder. I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± ¡°You should go back and sleep. You don¡¯t have to pick me up. Besides, I want to have tun with Chunchun and the others on the first day ot school. I won¡¯t be going back tonight.¡±Anhao said as she put the book away. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dissatisfied expression, Anhao glared at him and said, ¡°¡±You promised me, so you can¡¯t go back on your word. You said that I can stay in school one day every week. I¡¯ve saved my only right to stay in school for tonight.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°What did you miss? How can a profiteer like you make a mistake?¡± Anhao looked as if she couldn¡¯t stand seeing a big bad wolf pretending to be a little lamb. She rolled her eyes in front of him. ¡°I regret it now. I should have let you live on campus once a month.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao raised her school bag.¡± Do you believe that I¡¯ll blow you up tomorrow with such a big explosive bag?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng could not help but laugh. He gave her a look as if the bell had rung outside.¡±Go to class.¡± ¡°You¡¯re saying it as if the class that I missed just now wasn¡¯t because of you. If you have the ability to make our principal go easy on me, why don¡¯t you just let them add dozens or hundreds of points to my college entrance examination score in a few months?¡± Anhao said as she picked up her school bag and walked away quickly. She did not want to stay any longer. She was afraid that if she stayed for another minute, Zuo Hancheng would immediately take back his promise to allow her to stay in the school for one day a week. As soon as she ran out of the canteen, she bumped into the dormitory auntie who had just returned to work. The moment the dormitory auntie saw her, she was about to frown habitually and say a few sarcastic words when she suddenly thought of something. She looked up and down at Ann a few times with a surprised look in her eyes. ¡°What are you looking at? Haven¡¯t you seen a beauty before?¡±Anhao casually brushed her long hair that almost reached her shoulders and ran away in front of the auntie who was twitching her mouth with a smug expression. ¡°Is that Gu Anhao?¡± Am I seeing things?¡± ¡± It looks like her,¡± the dorm manager said.¡± And she looks much more delicate. But from the shameless look, it¡¯s definitely Gu Anhao!¡±¡± Anhao sprinted back to the classroom. When she sat down, Chunchun and Huang Amao had already occupied both sides of her seat before the other students could surround her. ¡°Your Boss Zuo came to visit you personally on the first day of school. How many people are going to die of envy?¡±Huang Amao said happily as he winked at her. ¡°Moreover, she¡¯s openly showing off her love in front of us high school students.¡±Chunchun had an expression that said that her small heart was hurt and needed to be comforted. Anhao¡¯s face twitched. To be honest, Zuo Hancheng had always kept a low profile. He would not have come to the school to declare his so-called ownership just because of the love letter. After all, he was not a childish man. He was an upper-class person who had seen all kinds of storms. How could he really be calculative with a little boy? So, why did he suddenly come to school to see her? She still hadn¡¯t figured it out.. Chapter 396 - Chapter 396: Hubby, I’m in the Police Station Again (1) Chapter 396: Hubby, I¡¯m in the Police Station Again (1) Translator: 549690339 A wolf howled in the private room of the Charm Bar. The bar owner wiped his sweat when he passed by the private room. Even though Gu Anhao had become the Mrs. Zuo that was passed down by word of mouth, her singing was still so unapproachable. Where did this child get the confidence to sing so well? The little sisters who had been with her for so many years had actually not cut ties with her until now. ¡°Sister, you sit at the bow Brother, I¡¯ll walk on the shore Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love ¡± Little girl, I¡¯ll sit at the bow of the boat. Brother, you walk on the shore. Oh, oh! Our love, our love¡­ In the private room, Anhao was singing so loudly that it was like she was sleeping alone. Huang Amao and Chunchun sat together, eating melon seeds as they listened to Anhao¡¯s whining and chatted quietly. ¡°The devil didn¡¯t look for you in the past few days after you returned to A City?¡±Huang Amao asked in a low voice. Chunchun looked at her strangely.¡±¡±Why is the Great Demon King looking for me? And why did you and Anhao look at me like that a few days ago?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Oh, right. Last time you told us that you went to see the devil¡¯s underwear, you drank too much. No wonder you didn¡¯t remember¡­¡± Chunchun¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Did I tell you about this?¡± Huang Amao looked at her up and down as if he had discovered something new.¡¯¡±¡® Su Chunchun, you can¡¯t help but sit up straight every time you mention that Great Demon King. You look especially nervous. Is that Great Demon King really that scary, or¡­¡¯ ¡°Aiya, it¡¯s just a relative and friend that my parents arranged for me when I went to another city for an internship. Just treat him as an elder.¡±Chunchun hurriedly averted her gaze and answered ambiguously. ¡°Anhao, Anhao, come quickly!¡± Huang Amao didn¡¯t give up. He couldn¡¯t get anything out of her by himself, so he dragged Anhao along. Hearing someone call her, Anhao, who was intoxicated with her singing, suddenly glanced nervously at the door. She had been violated by Zuo Hancheng for too long. Every time she went out to have some free time with her friends, she was afraid that she would be captured by that bastard. Instinctively, she looked outside a few times before she reacted. She turned to look at Huang Amao and saw that Huang Amao and Chunchun were already fighting on the sofa. One covered the other¡¯s mouth and refused to speak, while the other laughed and insisted on speaking. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Crazy!¡± She raised the microphone and continued singing. The three women who had regained their freedom finally took a taxi back to school half-drunk and half-awake at around 1 am. When they arrived at the school gate, Huang Amao¡¯s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the Ferrari parked near the gate. He immediately called out, ¡°¡±Aiya, I see this car again!¡± Anhao and Chunchun opened their slightly drunk eyes and looked over. Chunchun waved her hand and scolded,¡±¡±Huang Amao, you stupid fangirl!¡± Anhao staggered over and pulled Huang Amao¡¯s hand back, saying,¡±¡±Let me tell you, this kid driving the Ferrari is not a good person. Huang Amao, you should look at him properly. Don¡¯t fall for anyone so easily. Look, how is this broken car high-class? What if it¡¯s a second-hand one?¡± As she spoke, Anhao suddenly took a step forward, lifted her foot and kicked the tire. The Ferrari in front of her suddenly sounded an ear-piercing alarm because of the abnormal movement. The three little girls turned around and ran towards the school gate. Huang Amao and Chunchun ran the fastest, while Anhao followed closely behind. Suddenly, she bumped into a figure who was walking out of the school gate. ¡°Ah! F * ck!¡± Anhao bumped into her neck and felt pain. She stumbled backward, her waist was instantly held up by someone, at the same time she moved forward, fortunately she stood firm, she didn¡¯t continue to move forward, but she still opened her misty eyes and scolded her with one sentence: ¡°Which blind person dares to stand in front of you, Young Master An! You killed me!¡± However, the person in front of her glanced at her and cursed in a low voice that was almost gnashing her teeth, ¡°Did you touch Grandpa¡¯s car?¡± ¡°Master your sister, why are you pretending to be a master in front of me!¡±Anhao suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the person in front of her. No matter how she looked at him, he looked familiar. Ah, the airport, the thief¡­ Eh? Wasn¡¯t this the kid that she had beaten up at the airport? Anhao stood up in front of him in a daze. She looked at him in a daze, then turned to look in the direction of the Ferrari and asked bluntly, ¡®¡±¡®That car of yours is second-hand, right? The alarm sounds are so unpleasant.¡± The person in front of her instantly turned black. He glanced at her face again and recognized this wretched girl. At the same time, he looked at the school uniform that she was wearing. The class number and name were written on the school uniform¡¯s badge. He immediately raised his eyebrows. ¡°Wretched girl, I¡¯ll settle the score with you tomorrow.¡±The man sneered and casually pushed Anhao, who was blocking his way, and strode away. Anhao was pushed to the side and fell a few steps. She barely managed to lean against the wall of the security room before she did not fall. She turned around and stared in that direction inexplicably, scolding,¡±¡±Count your sister¡¯s debts. From tomorrow onwards, I will be a good student who studies hard and won¡¯t leave school easily! Do you think that you can enter A High School just because you want to? Idiot!¡± However, the figure stopped in his tracks because of her words and suddenly looked back at her. However, the boy had his back to the light, so she could not see his expression. She could only see him raise his hand and give her the middle finger. Then, he clenched his hand into a fist and his thumb pointed down. Finally, he made a gesture of shooting with his finger at her. Anhao immediately widened her eyes. Damn it, was this kid trying to provoke her? So arrogant? She looked down at her fingers in a daze and tried to separate her thumb and index finger. Just as she was about to give him a kiss, Huang Amao and Chunchun realized that they had lost her. They came back to look for her and dragged Anhao, who was still leaning against the wall of the security room, into the school gate. ¡°How could you get lost? Let¡¯s go quickly. The two of us just ran in, and the dormitory auntie is still scolding us!¡± Anhao¡¯s hand had just made that gesture, but she didn¡¯t manage to get her revenge. She had already been dragged back to the dormitory building. The moment she was thrown onto the bed by the two women, Anhao turned around and started to search around.¡±¡±Aiya, where¡¯s my gun!¡± ¡°Where is my gun?¡± ¡°My gun? Hurry up and look for it, the gun is gone!¡± Chunchun and Huang Ah were both too drunk to care about her and allowed her to go crazy. Anhao tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, but she still couldn¡¯t find her gun. In the end, she touched her hands together and separated her fingers to make a shooting gesture. She muttered ¡°biuciuciuciu a few times before she felt that her revenge had succeeded. She giggled and tilted her head to the side before falling asleep.. Chapter 397 - Chapter 397: Hubby, I’m in the Police Station Again (2) Chapter 397: Hubby, I¡¯m in the Police Station Again (2) Translator: 549690339 As a result of the hangover, the three of them had been listless since they were woken up by the alarm clock in the morning. Even after breakfast, when they went to the morning self-study hall, they had a headache and almost fell asleep on the desk. Anhao had been too famous recently. When she fell asleep on the table, the teacher glanced at her and pretended not to see her. Instead, she pulled Chunchun and Huang Amao up and sent them outside the door to stand for half an hour as punishment. It was not until the morning self-study session ended that the teacher called Anhao out alone and asked her whether she was sleeping in the dormitory. In short, there were all kinds of words of concern. Anhao was a little confused by the questions, but she still nodded. In the end, the teacher arranged for her to sleep in the corner of the last row. She said that if she was too tired, she could sleep. That position would not attract too much attention¡­ In the end, Anhao packed her things and ran to the corner seat in the last row of the classroom with a dumbfounded expression. Only then did she realize that she had been given special privileges by the teacher! Does this mean that Mrs. Zuo can sleep during class time if she wants to, and she can choose not to study if she doesn¡¯t want to, and she doesn¡¯t have to face the looks of disdain from all kinds of teachers and classmates? Chunchun and Huang Amao rolled their eyes at her several times, angry that she didn¡¯t share their blessings and hardships. Anhao, on the other hand, happily began to tidy up her desk and textbooks after sitting down. Of course, she had the intention to study hard, but this was the private seat in the class. The teachers wouldn¡¯t allow ordinary people to sit here because it could avoid the surveillance area at the front and back doors and also avoid the occasional peeping gaze of the teachers. She was the only one enjoying such a big table. It felt so good! In the afternoon, Huang Amao and Chunchun had forced her to plead with the teacher and ask the teacher to arrange for them to sit next to her. They also wanted special privileges. In any case, regardless of whether they were in the front row or the back row, they swore to be with Gu Anhao through life and death! It was so touching that it could move the heavens and the earth! Anhao was forcefully dragged to the teacher¡¯s office by the two women. However, she realized that it was almost time for afternoon classes, but the teacher was not in the office. She went to the academic affairs office and found that there was no one there either. ¡°It¡¯s really strange. Where did everyone go?¡± After running back and forth between the floors for a while, the afternoon bell rang. Chunchun and Huang Amao had no choice but to drag Anhao back to the classroom and temporarily postpone the matter of changing seats until after class. However, just as all the students sat down, the form teacher walked in. At the same time, a figure that made the other students in the class feel unfamiliar but extremely eye-catching walked in. It was a super handsome boy wearing a black motorcycle leather jacket. He carried a black cross-body backpack in his hand. After entering the door, he was invited to the front of the stage by the class teacher. However, he obviously did not think much of this occasion. Instead of standing on the stage obediently, he stood casually in front of the stage and waited for the teacher to introduce him. When the female voice in the class saw the boy, she was about to explode. He was so handsome! Chunchun was also surprised for a long time. She used her hand to pull Huang Amao, who was already stunned, and whispered,¡±¡±lsn¡¯t this the handsome Ferrari guy? I was right. She¡¯s really a new transfer to our school!¡± Huang Amao also nodded excitedly,¡±¡±l knew it. Handsome guys are fated with me!¡± Chunchun¡¯s mouth twitched. She turned around and glanced at Anhao, only to see that she was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner of the classroom, secretly taking out a bottle of yogurt to drink. At this moment, she was inexplicably biting the straw on the yogurt bottle, her head lowered as if she was hiding from something. The teacher introduced the new boy for about two minutes. He told him about his background, the school he had studied in the United States, and the reason he came to China and A High School. Finally, the teacher smiled and said, ¡°Student Rong, give everyone a simple self-introduction.¡¯ The group of girls stared at the boy. They felt that he didn¡¯t even smile after entering the door. His cool, cool, and handsome appearance was even better than Liu Chuanfeng¡¯s! However, Student Rong¡¯s gaze only swept around the classroom lukewarmly. When it finally landed on the head of a girl who was biting a straw in the corner, the corners of her mouth curled into a faint sneer. ¡°Rong Qian.¡± he said. He only said two words and did not introduce himself. The students were waiting, and the teacher waited for a while before realizing that he had finished introducing himself. He immediately said awkwardly, ¡°Student Rong, you only said your name and didn¡¯t introduce yourself?¡± ¡® There¡¯s no need. Anyway, there are only four months until graduation. Those who are fated will get to know each other quickly. Those who are not fated will not know each other in four years, let alone four months. No matter how much we say, it¡¯s just a formality and a waste of our time.¡± The teacher looked at him blankly for a while, then smiled awkwardly and clapped. ¡°Student Rong Qian grew up in the United States. His personality is indeed different from the children born and raised in our country. However, we are all of the same age. I believe that we will be able to get along soon.¡± Under the lead of the teacher and the group of infatuated girls in the class, applause instantly broke out. Rong Qian glanced around the classroom and accepted everyone¡¯s welcome. ¡°Okay, then Student Rong Qian, you can choose a seat. There are still three empty seats in our class. After you sit down, we will start¡­¡± Class¡­¡± Before the teacher could finish his sentence, Rong Qian walked straight ahead. Under everyone¡¯s astonished gazes, he walked to Gu Anhao¡¯s seat and casually placed his black bag on the desk. The students were dumbfounded. The teacher did not expect him to choose that position. For a moment, he was so surprised that he forgot to control the whispers among the students. Anhao was about to bite the straw into pieces. When she saw that the kid had chosen her seat, she immediately turned around and glared at him with a fierce expression. It was obvious that she wanted to chase him away. At the same time, she grabbed her book and moved to the side, occupying the table and not letting him sit there. Rong Qian snorted and ignored her small movements. He sat down in a panic. Anhao wanted to pour half a bottle of yogurt on his table. Suddenly, he said in a low voice, ¡°What are you afraid of? I won¡¯t eat you.¡± Anhao froze and looked at him as if he was a monster.¡±¡±This is my seat. I haven¡¯t agreed to let you sit here! Weren¡¯t there two more seats there? Why are you sitting here?¡± Rong Qian glanced at her, obviously too lazy to answer. He hung his bag behind him and sat down steadily. An angrily placed the yogurt on the table. What the f * ck! Another Rong! What grudge did she have with that Rong fellow in her previous life?! Chapter 398 - Chapter 398: Hubby, I’m in the Police Station Again (3) Chapter 398: Hubby, I¡¯m in the Police Station Again (3) Translator: 549690339 There were two major classes in the afternoon. After two consecutive major classes, more than three hours passed just like that. After another major class, it was a long evening self-study session. Anhao could no longer tolerate the girls surrounding her one after another. Of course, everyone¡¯s focus was still on her. It was a good thing that Rong Qian had diverted their attention in the blink of an eye. However, she was finally arranged to be in the most secluded place by the teacher¡¯s mercy. In an instant, it became the most lively place! During class, a girl passed a note to Rong Qian to greet him. Rong Qian casually threw it on Anhao¡¯s desk. Anhao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and stuffed the note back into his desk. After a while, the so-called freest seat in the classroom instantly became the biggest secret battlefield. Anhao had never argued with anyone about the so-called 38th parallel in her life. However, during the third class in the afternoon, she put a piece of paper between two tables and wrote the words ¡± 38th parallel ¡± on it. Rong Qian did not seem to see the piece of paper, but he would pile it on her desk every time. Finally, the third period ended. Anhao stood up and was about to leave when Rong Qian suddenly said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, why are you running?¡± She stopped in her tracks and turned around to glare at him. Before the girls could surround her and continue to get close to him, she said fiercely, ¡°Which eye of yours saw me running? Can¡¯t I go to the toilet in a hurry?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think you owe me an apology?¡± Rong Qian smiled meaningfully.¡± ¡°Apologize?¡± Anhao immediately laughed out loud. What a joke! ¡°What did I do to you? Why should I apologize to you? Two sentences? Are you sick in the head and trying to infect me?¡±She rolled her eyes and turned to leave. ¡°Rong Qian, Rong Qian!¡± The love-struck girls ran over again and were about to surround him when Rong Qian suddenly stood up and walked past the crowd. He walked past Anhao and stopped in front of her in an instant. He raised his hand and supported himself on the wall beside the aisle, blocking her way. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Was this the legendary way of flirting? Was there something wrong with this kid? Her reputation as a married woman had already spread throughout the school. Now that she was his deskmate, there were already girls who had deliberately sent him a note to tell him. Even she had seen it. Could it be that this kid had such a strong taste? You even want to tease a married woman? Ha! Ha! Da! Then he had really misjudged Gu Anhao. If he dared to flirt with her, she would cripple his third leg! ¡°Move aside!¡± She glanced at him coldly with an expressionless face. Rong Qian raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile. When the girls rushed over, he suddenly lowered his head and deliberately whispered in her ear,¡±You tortured me at the airport and kicked my tire last night. Why are you pretending to have amnesia?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. It turned out that she wasn¡¯t dreaming last night. She really did kick that Ferrari! ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a tire? Kicking it won¡¯t break it or leak air. Is there a need to be so stingy?¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you see that I was drinking?¡± Anhao asked calmly. You should be thankful that I didn¡¯t smash that car. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t be able to afford it even if you sold me.¡± After saying that, she raised her hand and forcefully pushed his hand away.¡±Get lost, don¡¯t block your grandaunt¡¯s way!¡± Rong Qian sneered and was about to reach out his hand again when Huang Amao rushed over and pulled his hand away. At the same time, he gently pushed Anhao towards the door.¡±Hey, hey, hey. A gentleman uses his words, not his fists. What did Anhao do to offend you? Look at how angry you made her look the entire afternoon!¡± Huang Amao glanced at him and turned around to see that Anhao had already fled the scene. He was about to follow her when Rong Qian glanced at her.¡±Why are you meddling in my business?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched. Looking at him from such a close distance, the handsome style was indeed becoming more and more to her liking. What a pity. It was a pity that this kid seemed to have some kind of relationship with Anhao. Coincidentally, Chunchun came over. She took the opportunity to grab Chunchun¡¯s hand and gave her a look before running out to look for Anhao. Rong Qian turned around and saw Gu Anhao¡¯s figure dashing away from the back door. He raised his eyebrows and touched his chin. He turned around and saw a group of tall, short, fat, and thin girls in school uniforms surrounding him. Each of them seemed to have something to say. He frowned.¡± What are you looking at? Haven¡¯t you seen a newcomer hitting on a girl on his first day?¡± Go do what you should do. I¡¯m not familiar with you!¡± ¡® Rongqian, Gu Anhao is already married. She¡¯s the wife of Zuo Hancheng, the CEO of Shengling Group. Do you want to change your target?¡± A girl whispered in the crowd. Rong Qian glanced coldly at the crowd. ¡°I know!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he directly kicked away a seat beside his feet, stuffed his hands into his leather pants pockets, and strode away. ¡°Motherf * cker! What are you doing in our school?!¡± Anhao grumbled as she walked towards the school washroom. ¡°Anhao!¡± Huang Amao and Chunchun ran over.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Huang Amao apologetically. Seeing Anhao¡¯s expression, Huang Amao rolled his eyes at her and patted her shoulder.¡±¡±Damn, why didn¡¯t you tell me when you knew him? Who was he? Previously, he seemed to have noticed that every time we saw him, you covered your face. At that time, he thought it was a coincidence. Now, he realized that there was a situation!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Who is Rong Qian? He knows that you¡¯re married, but he still flirts with you in public. Isn¡¯t he afraid of Zuo Hancheng or is he shameless?¡±Chunchun followed behind Anhao and asked. ¡°How would I know who he is? Where did this lunatic come from?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes.¡± I met him at the airport that time. He asked me for directions. I didn¡¯t think he was a good person, so I ignored him. In addition, I was in a bad mood, so I mocked him. Then¡­¡± That day, there was a robbery at the airport. I saw wrongly and went up to do a good deed. I thought he was a robber and held him down. Later, I found out that it wasn¡¯t him, so I ran away. It¡¯s that simple!¡± Anhao said as she walked into the washroom unhappily,¡±¡±l¡¯m telling you, there¡¯s definitely something wrong with this person. It¡¯s best to stay away from him!¡± ¡°Is he here for revenge?¡±Huang Amao asked. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. Actually, she was also considering this possibility. When she came out of the bathroom, she went back to the dormitory with Chunchun and Huang Amao to get the revision books and practice papers for the evening self-study. When she returned to the dormitory and sat down, she said, ¡°I seem to remember that he asked me how to get to the apartment on stage. In other words, he was originally going to live in the apartment on stage, which is near our school.. Therefore, he originally came to A High to study, so there shouldn¡¯t be such a melodramatic possibility of revenge¡­¡± Chapter 399 - Chapter 399: Hubby, I’m in the Police Station Again (4) Chapter 399: Hubby, I¡¯m in the Police Station Again (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Then why did he tease you when he knew you were married? It¡¯s obviously intentional!¡± Chunchun said exaggeratedly, ¡°If Zuo Hancheng finds out about this, he¡¯ll definitely skin this kid alive!¡± Get him out of A High School!¡± ¡°Does he not want to stay here anymore? Does he not know who Zuo Hancheng is? Wasn¡¯t Rong Qian from America? He should have heard of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name!¡±Huang Amao rested her chin on her hand. She felt as if her new idol had been instantly disillusioned. ¡°That¡¯s why I said he¡¯s a lunatic. Ignore him. He¡¯ll probably change seats after being left out for a few days.¡±Anhao packed her books and papers.¡±¡±l¡¯m going back to the Liujing Garden tonight, so I can¡¯t accompany you guys for the evening self-study until so late. I¡¯ll probably have to leave after six.¡± ¡°Ah, if you leave, the girls in our class will be so happy. They were all envious and jealous of you, but now their eyes have turned to Rong Qian.¡± ¡°The focus is the focus. It¡¯s none of my business. I can¡¯t wait to keep a low profile. Originally, Rongxue had been living in the hospital recently and there were all kinds of reports in the media. Those unscrupulous media even mentioned my name from time to time. I really wished that everyone would forget about me in an instant. I was so annoyed to live under the scrutiny of others every day!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, it¡¯s such a coincidence. Rong Qian¡¯s surname is also Rong, and he also came back from the United States. ¡°Chunchun suddenly asked, ¡°Could he have something to do with Rongxue?¡±¡± Anhao didn¡¯t move her eyebrows and didn¡¯t think much of it.¡±¡±Who cares if he has anything to do with it? It has nothing to do with me anyway. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Hurry up and go to the evening self-study hall.¡± However, Rong Qian did not come during the evening self-study session. This made Anhao extremely happy. She didn¡¯t expect that there would be someone even more arrogant than her in A High School during the heavy workload of the third year of high school. She didn¡¯t even come to the evening self-study session on the first day of transfer. It wasn¡¯t easy for Anhao to make it to six o¡¯clock. She put away the two contact forms that she had just finished and got up to say goodbye to Huang Amao and Chunchun. Before Anhao exposed her relationship with Zuo Hancheng, she had always swaggered out of the classroom when everyone was busy with their studies, so everyone was used to it. However, when she left the classroom, the teacher could not help but look at her. On the other hand, school had just started and she was going back to live there soon. When she thought of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression yesterday, which showed that he was not satisfied with her after only being separated from her for a day, she felt a little angry. Did this man really not notice that she had been ignoring him because of what happened at the press conference? Even though she was not in a cold war because he had returned, she was still very unhappy and felt that the matter was a knot in her heart. However, he seemed to have deliberately ignored it and lived her life as she should. She really wondered if she was petty or if he was too good at controlling the situation. The matter that had made her very angry was now turning into a fleeting cloud day by day. Of course, it was impossible to be a fleeting thing. He walked out of the school gate and took out a coin from his pocket to get on the bus. There was no other way. The holidays were over, and their daily living expenses were limited again. They had to save money, so they could only take the bus. However, the bus stop seemed to be Anhao¡¯s habitual unlucky spot. Perhaps it was mainly because it was too easy to be targeted here. Just as she arrived at the bus stop and was about to wait for the bus, two men suddenly got out of a car next to her. In the middle was a short and muscular man with a gold chain and a beer belly. The three men walked towards her angrily. Anhao looked in that direction, thinking that it had nothing to do with her. Just as she was about to walk away, the two taller men standing on both sides suddenly pointed at her face.¡±You, stop! I¡¯m talking to you!¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked at the three men. She pointed at herself and said,¡¯¡±¡®Me?¡± ¡°Yes, you! Are you Gu Anhao? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She saw that the people who were waiting for the bus had already boarded the bus. They were so cold that they quickly fled the area as if something was about to happen. Therefore, she was the only one facing the three weird-looking men at the bus stop. ¡°Are you Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mistress?¡±The man in the middle with the big gold chain walked over and raised his eyebrows to look at her up and down. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes. Why did he say such unpleasant words? Didn¡¯t your mother teach you how to speak?¡± She could tell that these three were not good people, so she could not be bothered to be polite with them. ¡°Yo, it¡¯s quite spicy!¡± The man in the middle immediately sneered and said, ¡°Since you didn¡¯t recognize the wrong person, then come, come, come with us!¡± Anhao looked at the two men beside him quietly. She felt like they were hired to support the team and were not professional fighters. She had a feeling and laughed. ¡°Do you think anyone can take me away just because they want to? Who are you? Did he come here to stop me?¡± The short and fat man in the middle glared at her arrogantly.¡±B * tch, stop arguing with me. If I tell you to leave, get in the car and follow us! If your husband doesn¡¯t give us a way out, I¡¯ll take his wife away first and let him know the power of offending our Gale Company!¡± At this moment, Anhao suddenly realized that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s low-key approach was actually the best way to protect her. If it were not for Rong Xue¡¯s repeated pestering and the over-exposure and publicity of the situation after the Facebook incident, perhaps she would not have become a target. Did he ask her to stay at home every day to ensure that she could stay at home safely every day so that nothing would happen to her outside at night? But now, something had happened to her! Surrounded by these three men! He even said that it was some Gale Company! ¡°What the hell is Gale Company? A windmill? Do you make cartoons?¡± Anhao seemed to have an innocent expression on her face as she spread her hands.¡±l¡¯m sorry. I haven¡¯t watched a domestic cartoon for many years, so I don¡¯t know much about your company. If you want to invite me to sit or observe something, I think it¡¯s better if you don¡¯t¡­¡± The man in the middle seemed to be instantly disgusted by her words. He immediately pointed at him angrily.¡±l¡¯m the CEO of Gale Company! You little girl, how dare you talk to me like this?¡± President? Anhao looked at the ¡± CEO ¡± in disbelief. It was a thick, shiny, and exaggerated gold chain. When he spoke, the edge of the dragon tattoo could occasionally be seen on the lapel around his neck. There was a Hermes belt tied around his waist. It was obvious that it was bought online. He didn¡¯t know if it was real or fake. He was wearing a pair of leather shoes from the most expensive brand in the country, but he looked like a nouveau riche. How dare you call yourself the president? Brother, you must have come to the wrong set! Chapter 400 - Chapter 400: Hubby, I’m in the Police Station Again (5) Chapter 400: Hubby, I¡¯m in the Police Station Again (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Little girl, what¡¯s with that look?¡±The man in the middle saw Anhao¡¯s disdainful gaze and was instantly enraged. He gave the two men beside him a look, and the two men immediately rushed towards her. An hour and a half later At the police station. When Anhao walked out of the interrogation room, she could not help but roll her eyes at the ceiling. She picked up her phone and called Zuo Hancheng. The call was picked up after two or three rings. It sounded like Zuo Hancheng was on his way to get off work. Anhao pursed her lips and said reluctantly, ¡°¡±Honey, I¡¯m in the police station again.¡± ¡°..¡±There was no reply from Zuo Hancheng and the call was hung up. Anhao stared at the phone in front of her in disbelief. He actually hung up on her! Did he despise her or something? Should he save her or not? Just as Anhao was sitting on pins and needles in the police station, she couldn¡¯t help but want to ask someone for help. The young policeman outside suddenly ran in and said to the people inside,¡±Zuo, Zuo, Zuo, Zuo, Zuo Hancheng is here! It was really Zuo Hancheng! She was really Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife from the news!¡± Anhao looked at the excited policeman and chuckled.¡±¡±lsn¡¯t it hot to hold a cup of boiling water with your right, right, right, right, right, right, right hand?¡± The young policeman was immediately teased by her and quickly put down the cup and retreated to the side. A few policemen inside walked out directly, glanced at her, and quickly went out to welcome her. The moment Zuo Hancheng walked into the police station, Anhao greeted him happily from outside the interrogation room. She suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to cause him trouble sometimes. A few minutes later, Zuo Hancheng was invited inside. Anhao could only vaguely hear the conversation outside. The policemen were explaining the reason to Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Mr. Zuo, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s actually nothing much. It¡¯s just that your wife beat up three men at the bus stop near A High School. Two of them were lightly injured, and the other was only slapped twice in the face.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. It¡¯s indeed impossible for your wife, a girl, to provoke three strong men for no reason. We will definitely investigate this matter and give your wife justice¡­¡± ¡® The main thing was that the police car that was patrolling saw your wife riding on a man and beating him up. That scene was too shocking, so they had to take him away to avoid killing him. After all, it was at the school gate. It wouldn¡¯t be a good influence, right?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t listen to the conversation anymore. She only rubbed her wrist, which was still sore from beating someone up. Although the two men looked like they were here to support him and fell to the ground after two moves, their hands still hurt a lot when they fought. Their skin was rough and thick, and it was not easy to fight! She turned around and went to the door of the interrogation room to see the situation of the three people inside, but she heard a few whispers coming from inside. ¡°Then who caught our ancestor? Do you want to die?¡± ¡°Boss, she¡¯s beating people up. We can¡¯t stand it anymore!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t stand it anymore? Do you know that you¡¯re going to be stripped of your police uniform?¡± Anhao had no choice but to stop. It seemed a little too pretentious to run in now, so as to avoid being cursed behind her back. She should just wait outside obediently for a while. However, she couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. It was those three men who couldn¡¯t beat her. Their mouths weren¡¯t clean either. They said all kinds of nasty words, and it was obvious that they were looking for a beating. It just so happened that she was in a bad mood because of Rong Qian¡¯s trouble. After a beating, she was in a much better mood. The police had strictly requested her to call her guardian over. Her only legal guardian was Zuo Hancheng, so she could go to whoever she wanted. Anyway, it was fine as long as she was happy. When Zuo Hancheng came out of the office of the leader of the police station, Anhao was afraid that she would be killed by his gaze, so she ran to the door to chat with the young policeman at the door. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and went straight into the interrogation room to look at the three guys that she had beaten up. Anhao then quietly stuck her head back to try to hear something. However, the door was a little far away from the interrogation room. The only thing that could be heard was the voice of the self-proclaimed CEO of the Gale Group, who was in a gold chain nouveau riche, shouting excitedly and pleading,¡±President Zuo, please make an exception. If this continues, the people in our company won¡¯t be able to survive¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo, we had no choice but to find trouble with your wife. If not, we wouldn¡¯t have had the chance to see you at all. Please give us a way out. My family still needs me to survive. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a newborn child. I beg you, President Zuo. It was our negligence to cut corners previously. We definitely won¡¯t do it in the future. Please spare us and give our Gale Company another chance!¡± ¡°President Zuo, President Zuo, please listen to us¡­¡± ¡°Please make an exception!¡± Anhao shook off the goosebumps on her shoulders. The three scumbags had been acting arrogantly in front of her as if they were the bosses of the mafia, but now, they were all like cowards. After waiting for another ten minutes, Zuo Hancheng came out. Anhao heard the door of the interrogation room and immediately stood at attention in front of the police station. ¡°Mr. Zuo, I¡¯m really sorry about what happened today. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to make this trip. We won¡¯t make such a mistake again next time.¡± ¡® That contractor deliberately caused trouble for Mrs. Zuo. Fortunately, Mrs. Zuo was quick enough to take care of these three pieces of trash. In the end, it was us who wronged Mrs. Zuo. I¡¯m really sorry¡­¡± ¡°In the future, we will definitely pay attention, definitely pay attention¡­¡± It was only when the police chief¡¯s voice and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps approached that Anhao turned her head quietly. As soon as she turned around, her eyes met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. There was no movement in his dark and calm eyes. With just one glance, her eyelids twitched slightly. ¡°You¡¯re not injured?¡± Finally, when he approached her, Zuo Hancheng said the first thing he said to her since they entered the police station. It seemed that it was better to pretend to be pitiful now¡­ Anhao instinctively raised her hand and showed it to him.¡±¡±My wrist hurts.¡± The two police officers standing behind Zuo Hancheng: Her entire body tensed up. As he led her out of the police station, she whispered, ¡°I¡¯m the victim. I only attacked in self-defense.. This isn¡¯t considered causing trouble for you, right? And the reason is you! So you should be the one reflecting on yourself today!¡± Chapter 401 - Chapter 401: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (1) Chapter 401: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng took another look at her wrist and saw that there was a slight scratch on her wrist. He frowned slightly. ¡°The person inside is the contractor of a new construction base in the suburbs of a few of the company¡¯s subsidiary companies. Because they were found to have cut corners not long ago, they were fined according to the contract and were removed from the construction industry¡¯s list. They have no choice but to take over. They are so bold that they want to forcefully take you away and force me to give them a way out.¡±Zuo Hancheng said as he put down her hand. Anhao rubbed her wrist again and said,¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you find a professional to kidnap them? Those two thin and tall men were obviously supporting the scene. They were defeated by me in two moves, okay? I¡¯ll kidnap them.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly.¡±¡±Starting tomorrow, I¡¯ll send someone to pick you up.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Anhao glanced behind her.¡± This is just an accidental phenomenon. I don¡¯t think anyone else wants to make a move on me.¡±¡® ¡°Do you know how much my head can be sold for on the black market in the United States?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°What?¡± Anhao was surprised.¡± American black market, heads? Did she hear wrongly? ¡°There are pros and cons to making your identity public. Now that the media has continued to expand, it¡¯s obvious that the cons outweigh the pros. Your safety is the most important thing now.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng had already walked out of the front door of the police station. Anhao followed him out in a daze. When Zuo Hancheng opened the door of the passenger seat, she still hadn¡¯t regained her senses and sat in the car. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng looked at her blankly sitting in the car and suddenly said,¡±¡±The three people said that when you pressed them to the ground and beat them up, a Ferrari passed by first. A young man in the car saw you beating them up, but not only did he not get out of the car to help, but he kept whistling at you after rolling down the window.¡± When Anhao heard that, she suddenly remembered the scene when Rong Qian drove past when she was beating him up. She immediately looked up and met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s meaningful gaze. ¡°Ah, what¡¯s wrong?¡± She asked as if it had nothing to do with her. ¡°So, Gu Anhao, which wild man did you seduce again?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao really laughed. There was no wild man! It was just that some inexperienced kid drove by and saw me, a girl, pressing three men to the ground and beating them up. He felt that it was very refreshing, so he stopped the car and leaned to the side to watch while whistling to cheer me on!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know him? If you don¡¯t know him, how can he call out your name?¡± ¡°What? Did he call my name? How did you know he called my name?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, obviously waiting for her to confess. Anhao was a little scared from being stared at. In the end, she could only raise her hand and scratch her forehead.¡±l¡¯m really not familiar with him. He¡¯s a new boy who transferred to our class. I hate his arrogant look. I swear I don¡¯t think he has anything to do with him!¡± Anhao raised her hand. Even if he knows me, I¡¯m not familiar with him!¡± Seeing that she was trying her best to avoid arousing suspicion and that she was very impatient and disgusted at the mention of that person, Zuo Hancheng looked at her again before closing the door on her side. The moment the car door was closed, Anhao let out a sigh of relief. That bastard Rong Qian drove by and saw her beating someone up. He only rolled down the window and whistled. He didn¡¯t even get out of the car to help. How did this kind of scum live in this world? He actually had the nerve to watch the show from the side! If she was somehow accused of seducing another man because of this, wouldn¡¯t she be wronged? It was already ten o¡¯clock at night when they returned to Liu Jing Garden. Anhao was extremely sleepy after getting out of the car. She had been high outside for so long last night that she did not even take a shower. She felt extremely uncomfortable now. She carried her bag and rushed into the house to take a shower. However, just as she walked to the door with her bag, she suddenly froze and looked at the tightly shut door in front of her. Then, she turned her head to look at the light shining through the window. She looked at it in confusion for a long time before she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng in surprise and said, ¡°You went home before you went to the police station?¡± There was no one else in the house, so why was the light on? Moreover, when she stood outside the door, she could hear the sound of the television inside. Zuo Hancheng parked the car in the courtyard and closed the car door when he got out of the car. He did not say anything, but he also looked at the light through the window with a probing gaze. Seeing that he obviously hadn¡¯t returned, Anhao suddenly gave up on opening the door. She took a few steps back and retreated to his side. This house is either haunted or inviting thieves. Why would the lights and TV be on in this house? However, just as Anhao retreated to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, the door in front of her was suddenly pushed open from the inside. Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, walked out from the door and smiled when she saw them.¡±You¡¯re back? Why are you back so late?¡± ¡°Mom?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes revealed a rare trace of surprise. ¡± Mom¡­?!¡± Anhao cried out in surprise the moment she saw Xu Yuan. A few minutes later, Anhao sat on the sofa at home. Xu Yuan held her hand and asked about her well-being. For a moment, the entire house seemed to be filled with a warm atmosphere. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng walked out of the study after receiving a call from the company. He asked about Xu Yuan¡¯s visit and itinerary. ¡°It was Zuo Yue who gave me the key to your place and told me to find it myself so that I wouldn¡¯t have to trouble you to pick me up again. My flight was supposed to land this morning, but it was delayed for a few hours, so I didn¡¯t inform you in advance. When I took the bus over, I saw that you weren¡¯t at home, so I came in to clean up. I wanted to cook dinner for you to come back. Who knew that you two would come back so late?¡± Xu Yuan smiled as she patted Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Anhao is pregnant now, but she has to prepare for the college entrance examination at the same time. Can her body handle it? Your father was worried that you wouldn¡¯t be able to keep up with your usual nutrition, so he specially put aside the company¡¯s affairs for me for the time being and asked me to come over and take care of you for a period of time.¡± Hearing the word ¡®pregnant,¡¯ Anhao secretly shifted her eyes to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face. Her eyes were sending out a signal for help. What should he do? The words that she had casually said to the old man in America seemed to have stuck to her now! Zuo Hancheng smiled calmly. When he received Anhao¡¯s call for help, he acted as if he did not see it. He only smiled and said, ¡°So, Mom, are you planning to stay here for a few days?¡± Xu Yuan smiled.¡± Of course, but you can go back to the Zuo family and stay as long as you want. But this is your own home, so I definitely won¡¯t stay with you young people for too long. It¡¯s just that Anhao has just gotten pregnant, so she probably doesn¡¯t know how to take care of herself yet. I¡¯ll take care of her for a while before leaving..¡±¡® Chapter 402 - Chapter 402: Anhao, Be Good, Unseal Me (2) Chapter 402: Anhao, Be Good, Unseal Me (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao really wanted to say,¡± There¡¯s no need, dear mother-in-law. I can take care of myself. I¡¯m not pregnant at all!¡± However, the words that were about to come out of her mouth were stopped by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s timely gaze. Her words were stuck in her throat. Looking at Xu Yuan¡¯s smiling and gentle expression, she suddenly felt a little apologetic. She was not pregnant, so how could she ask someone to take care of her? However, Xu Yuan had already started to ask about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s recent work in the domestic company. Anhao did not interrupt and just sat quietly by Xu Yuan¡¯s side. Listening to her mother-in-law¡¯s gentle voice, even though she felt uneasy because she was lying, she still felt warm. It wasn¡¯t until eleven o¡¯clock that Xu Yuan noticed that Anhao seemed a little tired, so she urged her to take a shower and rest early. She even said something about not staying up late when she was pregnant. She also noticed the cut on her wrist and palm, and after a few words of concern, she finally let Anhao take a shower. Of course, her beloved mother-in-law lived on the second floor. After Anhao took a shower and dried her hair, she walked into the bedroom. As she walked, she rubbed her belly and pursed her lips. Not long after, Zuo Hancheng entered the bedroom with the refreshing scent of shower gel. Anhao was lying lazily on the bed, her hands supporting her chin as she glared at him. When he met Anhao¡¯s fiery gaze, Zuo Hancheng smiled and said, ¡°¡±What¡¯s with that look?¡± ¡°If looks could kill, Zuo Hancheng, do you believe that you would have died hundreds of times?¡±Anhao glared at him and sat up. ¡°The previous time in America was just a temporary measure, right? I thought that by fooling around in front of the old man, this matter would be over after we left the United States. However, it has only been a short while since I returned to the country. I don¡¯t even have a child in my stomach, but the child¡¯s grandmother came straight over and even wanted to take care of me personally. Is she trying to shorten my lifespan?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about her agitated emotions at all. He stroked her head that was about to spit fire with his palm.¡±What lifespan? Don¡¯t curse yourself.¡± Anhao raised her hand and slapped his hand away.¡±¡±l was just threatened by three men who were pretending to be gangsters today. My heart hasn¡¯t calmed down yet. In the blink of an eye, I was scared out of my wits by my mother-in-law who suddenly came to my door. Zuo Hancheng, let me tell you, I¡¯m definitely not done with you. I can¡¯t pretend to be pregnant for too long. After all, I¡¯ve never been pregnant before. There will definitely be flaws in many details! If anything happens, I¡¯ll push all the responsibility to you!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng simply pushed her onto the bed. Anhao steadied herself and fell backward. In the next moment, she was pressed down by his long body. Anhao suddenly raised her head and wanted to push him.¡±Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m not joking with you! I¡¯ll really be exposed!¡± However, the man on top of her unhurriedly removed the bathrobe on her body bit by bit. His low and hoarse voice slowly sounded above her head.¡±One of the laws of the business world is to use the fastest and most accurate method to make up for the situation to the satisfaction of everyone before anything is exposed. There¡¯s no difference between getting pregnant a month ago and getting pregnant now.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, his hands were already on her body, making vvavco. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, no! No!¡± Anhao struggled in a low voice.¡± I¡¯m probably about to enter the state of preparing for the college entrance examination. I¡¯m a little angry. Recently, my period has been in a mess and I feel that my body is in a terrible condition! Can¡¯t you just let me go for now?¡± Every word she said was the truth. Her period had been delayed for a few days, and her mental condition had been poor recently. She even suspected that she was mentally weak and had an hormonal imbalance! Zuo Hancheng remained unmoved by her soft resistance and continued with his plan. Anhao gritted her teeth and closed her eyes in humiliation as her body and consciousness were about to be conquered.¡±¡±Beast!¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly lowered his lower body and went straight to the point. He pressed down on her trembling body and whispered into her ear, ¡°¡±l¡¯ve tolerated you for a few months. How long has this normal married life just begun? If I continue to endure, I will be worse than a beast.¡± ¡°Bastard, will you die if you don¡¯t touch me for a day?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡± .%& amp;amp;amp;##$@& amp;amp;@.. It¡¯s indeed a beast!¡± The next morning, the pair of panda eyes on her head made her feel extremely sleepy. However, because she had to go to school, she had no choice but to get up. More importantly, Mother Zuo was here now. She would be too embarrassed to sleep in even if she wanted to. When she thought about how Zuo Hancheng did not let her go after she rejected him last night, he even tormented her countless times. Did he really not realize that he had been very unwilling to cooperate ever since the incident at Rongxue¡¯s press conference? She really wished she could force him to take a cold shower like before, or just download a few Japanese action movies on the internet for him to watch and let him find a corner to solve it himself! However, Zuo Hancheng completely ignored her temper. She really had nowhere to vent her anger! Anhao walked out of the bedroom with her messy hair. When she saw that Xu Yuan had already made breakfast, she smiled and told her to go eat breakfast. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng had already eaten. He was sitting on the sofa and reading the latest business news. Anhao stared at his back and cursed in her heart. Did this man have to be so strong? He had tormented her until so late last night. She was now sore in her back, her legs were cramping, and she had dark circles under her eyes. She was completely listless, but he was full of energy as if nothing had happened. ¡°Anhao, come and eat. Once a girl is pregnant, she has to eat breakfast on time. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be good for herself and the baby.¡±Xu Yuan placed a glass of hot milk on the table and placed the freshly made toast and eggs on a plate. ¡°¡±Come, sit down.¡± Anhao sat down at the dining table and drank the milk and ate the breakfast her mother-in-law had prepared for her. She looked up at Xu Yuan with a satisfied smile. Although Anhao felt pressured by Xu Yuan¡¯s plan to stay here and take care of her for a while, the feeling of being pampered and taken care of by someone really warmed her heart. It had been too many years since someone had looked at her with such a loving gaze as she ate breakfast. Anhao smiled at Xu Yuan while biting her toast.¡±Mom, aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡± ¡°Just now, Hancheng ate early, so I ate with him. I thought you would be sleeping for a while, so I didn¡¯t wake you up. I¡¯ll wait for you to eat together tomorrow. I won¡¯t accompany him tomorrow.¡±Xu Yuan said with a smile. When Anhao heard that, she immediately glanced in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction.. Chapter 403 - Chapter 403: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (3) Chapter 403: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear their conversation. He casually shook the newspaper in his hand, flipped a page, and continued reading. Tsk, it seemed that no matter how old a man was, he would be so carefree when his mother was by his side. There were people preparing breakfast and others helping to clean up all kinds of chores at home. He woke up early today and actually had time to read the newspapers before going to work. Anhao glanced at him and rolled her eyes. She lowered her head and continued to eat her toast. ¡°When you went to the United States, Aunt Wang¡¯s cooking seemed to be to your liking. I don¡¯t know if my cooking will suit your taste.¡±Xu Yuan smiled and poured her another glass of warm milk.¡±¡±Tell Mom what you like to eat. You don¡¯t have to be polite with me.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you, Mom. It¡¯s already very frustrating for me that you personally made breakfast for me. I can¡¯t even eat such delicious toast at a professional toast shop.¡±Anhao said as she took another big bite. She smiled at Xu Yuan in satisfaction. ¡°Silly child, look at what you¡¯re eating. The jam is all over your mouth.¡±¡±Wipe it quickly.¡± Xu Yuan handed him a tissue.¡± Anhao smiled embarrassedly as she took the tissue. She wiped her mouth and Zuo Hancheng looked towards the dining table halfway. Anhao was completely surrounded by Xu Yuan¡¯s motherly glow. Her blissful and satisfied expression made him smile slightly. He did not know how long this little girl would continue to throw tantrums at him, but it was rare for her to smile so shyly and happily. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell back on the newspaper in his hand without batting an eyelid. Before she left, Anhao picked up her bag and was about to leave. Xu Yuan looked at her strangely.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you ask Han Cheng to send you?¡± ¡± Uh, we¡¯re not on the same road. The roads from Liujing Garden to A High School and Shengling Group are not the same¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already picked up his car keys and walked out. ¡°Who told you it wasn¡¯t on the way? Don¡¯t think that you can fool my mom just because she just came from America and doesn¡¯t know the route to A City.¡±As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already left the room. Anhao immediately stared at the tall figure outside the door with a stifled expression. When she turned back, she saw Xu Yuan looking at her with a funny expression.¡±Did you have a fight with Han Cheng?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m just joking!¡± Anhao shook her head hurriedly.¡± After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran out. When she got into the car, she fastened her seatbelt and said angrily,¡±Can¡¯t you just not expose me? Do you feel good about humiliating me in front of your mother?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Does it feel good to lie in front of your mother-in-law? Anhao held her breath and temporarily gave up on reasoning with him. She could only turn her head and mutter,¡¯¡±¡®Didn¡¯t we agree to arrange for someone to send me to school? Why are you sending me off personally?¡± ¡°Do you think I have so much time to send my wife to school on time every day?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her again.¡± From tonight onwards, there will be a fixed number of drivers taking turns to pick you up.¡±¡® ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything after hearing this. She turned her head and quietly drew circles on the car window with her finger. ¡°I see that you don¡¯t like to go to school after school starts this time. Now that you¡¯re about to reach A height, you¡¯re putting on such a listless appearance for me to see?¡± Anhao immediately turned around and glared at him. ¡°¡±1 don¡¯t know who was the one who ignored my pleas and squeezed me again and again last night. I only started to sleep at two or three in the middle of the night. It¡¯s only been a few hours now.¡± Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, was a gentleman who slept with her. He was obviously not as passionate as he was last night, and he even wanted to do it with her until the end of time. He only curled his lips slightly and said, ¡°Are you sure you were begging me to end it quickly and not begging me to continue?¡± Anhao pretended not to hear him and rolled down the window to look out. Every time it came to the end, she, who had been resisting and refusing to cooperate, began to become unlike herself. If this topic continued, she would jump out of the car! Seeing that she had understood the situation and stopped arguing, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her collar that had been blown away by the wind. When the car stopped by the roadside opposite A Gao, Anhao was about to get out when Zuo Hancheng suddenly said,¡±¡±Anhao.¡± She paused for a moment. Ever since the incident at Rong Xue¡¯s press conference, Zuo Hancheng had not called her name in such a gentle and calm voice for a long time. She subconsciously turned her head around, only to see him reaching out to flip her collar up.¡±¡±Looks like I have to kiss you a little lower next time.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao lowered her head and saw the two inconspicuous but ambiguous kiss marks on her collar. She instantly raised her hand and slapped his hand away. She turned around and hurriedly got out of the car. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s thin lips curved into a warm smile when Anhao ran into the entrance of A High School. The little wild cat that was born with claws, the little thing that would raise a high wall in her heart whenever there was any movement, still yielded and yielded in the end. Her forbearing little appearance looked unusually conspicuous when she walked past the entrance of A High School. Suddenly, the gate of A University opened wide, and a Ferrari sped in with a whoosh. A few female students who were about to enter the school gate screamed in shock. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes only swept in that direction casually. When he saw the person in the Ferrari, his eyes gradually darkened. Anhao was really frustrated. Rong Qian, the new transfer, was like a psychopath who always targeted her. He made her upset in class and after class. He repeatedly warned him not to target her again. What happened at the airport was just a misunderstanding. She thought that as a boy, he should be magnanimous and let it go. In the end, he actually became worse. He even targeted her during physical fitness class. Recently, some leader of A High School had lost his mind and gave the students a physical fitness class every week. Moreover, it was no longer just some simple physical exercises that were used to train their physical fitness. It was Taekwondo! Although it was just elementary Taekwondo, many boys and girls would be extremely excited every time they arrived at the beginning of the new physical fitness class. Anhao was already half an elite in Taekwondo, so she would just take this class as a place to stand and relax. In the end, every time she was called out by the physical trainer for a demonstration, Rong Qian would take the initiative to fight with her. Anhao had wanted to find a chance to teach this kid a lesson. She still remembered that she had easily restrained him with a reverse grappling hand at the airport. However, just as she was about to make a few preparations, Rong Qian started to show a provocative smile at her and even reached out to hook her finger.. Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (4) Chapter 404: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (4) Translator: 549690339 Was this kid courting death? He was clearly a defeated opponent! Anhao gently turned her neck and then her wrist. She tightened the belt of her taekwondo uniform and suddenly stepped forward to kick him to the ground. The result is that the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present, the present. Rong Qian raised his eyebrows at her.¡± ¡°Give in your sister.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t look too bad, but she was quite surprised. It seemed that this kid was not weak at all. Could it be that he was unprepared at the airport? She made a few more preparations. This time, she threw a punch, and it was even more ruthless than the kick just now. However, Rong Qian had to dodge again. At the same time, she could tell that he was pretending to be relaxed and cool. She immediately reversed the direction of her attack and raised her foot to knock his butt hard. Rong Qian staggered a few steps forward and turned to look at her. Anhao raised her hand and pointed her middle finger in his direction, sneering, ¡°¡±We¡¯re even!¡± After saying that, she turned around and walked back into the crowd. She ignored the strange gazes of the other girls in the class and stood between Chunchun and Huang Amao. Huang Amao was already holding back his laughter until his stomach was about to explode. Anhao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore as soon as she came back and said,¡¯¡±¡® Anhao, you¡¯re too ruthless, hahaha. You actually slapped his butt, hahaha¡­¡± Anhao said indifferently,¡± This kid wants to be cool, but I just don¡¯t want to go against his wishes. I¡¯m showing mercy by beating his butt. If he dares to provoke me again in the future, I¡¯ll flip him face-first.¡¯¡±¡® Although Anhao said that, the other girls in the class had already rushed up to him because the physical education teacher allowed him to go back inside and stand there. They handed him water and towels. Some of them even felt sorry for his butt! Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She turned her head to Chunchun and Huang Amao and said,¡±¡±What do you think about this Rong guy? Do all the girls in our class have problems with their eyes?¡± Chunchun moved her lips, signaling her to look at Huang Amao. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that Huang Amao was almost bewitched by him. If it weren¡¯t for the two of us who insisted on standing on your side, Huang Amao would probably be one of those girls now. ¡°Chunchun said as she nudged Huang Amao with her elbow. Huang Amao rolled his eyes.¡± I was too young a month ago. I couldn¡¯t tell if I was a human or a dog.¡±¡® Anhao had just taken a sip of water from the water bottle when she spat it out. ¡°There are too many times when you can¡¯t differentiate between people. The Korean oppa from last time obviously didn¡¯t wake you up.¡±Anhao took another sip of water and turned around to leave while the physical education teacher was teaching the class opposite her. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and walked out, but she suddenly bumped into Rong Qian who had walked out at some point. She immediately turned around with a cold face and wanted to avoid him. However, just as she was about to brush past him expressionlessly, the bastard¡¯s low laughter sounded beside her. ¡°Little thing, why are you so arrogant? Can¡¯t you tell that I¡¯m giving in to you?¡± She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. Although she was impatient with him, she did not have much emotional fluctuation. After all, she did not want to interact too much with this kind of person.¡±lf you want to fight, then fight. With real martial arts, I even pressed down three big men near the station that day. It¡¯s not like I can¡¯t even deal with a little punk like you.¡± After saying that, she turned around and left. Rong Qian suddenly smiled and looked back at her.¡±¡±l can put aside the matter of you offending me at the airport for now, but Gu Anhao, you were the one who offended me, but you never showed any intention of apologizing. Who are you pulling a long face for every day?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t even turn her head as she picked up the towel around her neck and wiped the water droplets on her face. She said to him in a lukewarm tone,¡¯¡±¡®l don¡¯t have a good impression of that Rong fellow. Get lost!¡± Rong Qian immediately turned around and casually leaned against the wall. He raised his hand to touch his chin and looked at her back with a faint smile. When they returned to the physical training classroom, Anhao threw the towel aside and walked back to Chunchun and Huang Amao expressionlessly. ¡°That Rong Qian is definitely crazy.¡± Anhao whispered. Huang Amao and Chunchun looked at her in surprise.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Just now, Rong Qian said that he was in a hurry and went out. Did you meet him outside again? Anhao didn¡¯t explain much and only complained, ¡°¡±lt¡¯s obviously a foreign species with water in its head!¡± ¡°Anhao, were you too serious when you were fighting with him just now? Why do you look so pale?¡± Chunchun suddenly stared at her face and whispered. Anhao raised her hand to touch her face and waved her hand disapprovingly.¡±Maybe it¡¯s because my period hasn¡¯t come for a long time, and I¡¯ve been holding it in for a long time. It¡¯ll be fine when my period visits normally.¡± Chunchun looked at her in surprise, then turned to look at Huang Amao. Suddenly, she nudged Huang Amao with her elbow and whispered to Huang Amao while Anhao was being called by the physical education teacher to continue her demonstration,¡±¡±Could Anhao be pregnant?¡± Huang Amao also looked in Anhao¡¯s direction in surprise and whispered, ¡®¡±¡®1 don¡¯t think so, right?¡± ¡°She¡¯s married. Just by looking at her listless appearance every day, you can tell how harmonious the couple¡¯s life is. It¡¯s not strange for her to be pregnant.¡±Chunchun muttered,¡± Anhao¡¯s period seems to be very accurate. She just said that her period hasn¡¯t come yet.¡±¡® The two inexperienced little girls chatted excitedly in the crowd for a long time. After a physical fitness class, they had already assigned the tasks of who would be the godmother and who would buy milk powder. After the physical education class ended, everyone went to change their clothes. Anhao was about to go back to the dormitory to sleep, but Chunchun and Huang Amao somehow messed up and insisted on treating her to braised pork trotters. ¡°Isn¡¯t Chunchun the one who hates such greasy things the most? Why are you suddenly treating me to braised pork trotters?¡±Anhao looked at the two of them as if they were crazy, but she was still dragged out of the school gate by the two of them. When they arrived at a restaurant outside the school, Chunchun ordered two large basins of braised pork trotters and a few side dishes. Anhao happened to be hungry. She didn¡¯t have much of an appetite and didn¡¯t eat much in the afternoon, but now she was starving. Seeing that the two of them were so sincere and suddenly wanted to treat her to a pig trotter today, although she did not know what they were up to, she still picked up the pig trotter and began to eat it on their behalf. Aiyaya, indeed, any unhappy thing in this world could instantly become lighter than a feather when it came to braised pork trotters. An Delicious was delicious, but Chunchun and Huang Amao secretly looked at each other. That¡¯s not right. Didn¡¯t the television say that pregnant people should feel nauseous or vomit when faced with greasy things? Why was Gu Anhao eating so happily? [It¡¯s not convenient to reveal the exact date of the release, but it¡¯s indeed not far from the release of dozens of chapters in a few consecutive days. The recent plot has more or less been a buffer. Dear friends, watch patiently. Love you all. Thank you for your support along the way..] Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (5) Chapter 405: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± After Anhao ate two pork trotters, she licked her fingers in satisfaction and looked at them.¡±¡±l ordered two pots. There¡¯s still a lot inside. Why are you looking at me eating?¡± After saying that, she suddenly smiled evilly.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Is there something you want to ask of me? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why did you suddenly treat her to such a sumptuous meal? It¡¯s too greasy. Not good, not good.¡± As she said that, she picked up another pork trotter and started eating. Chunchun and Huang Amao looked at her in confusion.¡±¡±Anhao, I remember that you didn¡¯t like to eat such oily food in the past.¡± ¡°Is there? Haven¡¯t I always been able to eat as long as I have meat? I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s greasy or not.¡± Anhao licked her fingers again.¡± Aiya, I don¡¯t care anymore. I suspect that I¡¯ve been a little unlucky recently. Everything hasn¡¯t been going my way. Didn¡¯t the old man say that eating pork trotters can help your luck?¡± Eat it first. Chunchun and Huang Amao continued to look at her face, which didn¡¯t look like she wanted to throw up at all. They were a little confused. He was still wondering if Anhao was pregnant, but he was afraid that Anhao didn¡¯t know or wouldn¡¯t admit it, so he decided to use this trick to test her to see if she was disgusted. In the end, this pig trotter tasted better than anyone else! Was she not pregnant? Then wouldn¡¯t their baby, who they had been longing for, become a godmother and buy milk powder, be ruined? As Anhao ate, she suddenly coughed and frowned. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and ran out. Hearing Anhao coughing and vomiting outside, Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s eyes lit up with hope again. After Anhao ran back and drank a big mouthful of water, Chunchun asked excitedly,¡±¡±Good, good! Did you vomit just now?¡± Anhao immediately looked at her in bafflement, then picked up the pig trotter that she had not finished eating just now and said,¡±Nonsense, I just had a bone stuck in my throat. If I don¡¯t spit it out, do you think I¡¯ll swallow it?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the two of you?¡±Anhao looked at them as she chewed on her pig trotter.¡±Do you really have something to say?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Chunchun shook her head. Huang Amao shook his head and sighed in disappointment.¡±¡±Sigh, I thought I would be able to see the little darling soon.¡± Anhao looked at them strangely again.¡±¡±What little darling?¡± Chunchun¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Forget it, it¡¯s fine. This is called a princess who¡¯s not in a hurry to die as a eunuch. I reckon you¡¯re just suffering from an hormonal imbalance.¡± This time, it was Anhao who was speechless. She put down the pork trotter and looked at them for a long time before she finally understood. She widened her eyes and said,¡± Are you two pregnant?¡¯¡±¡® She paused after every word, and her tone was heavy as if she wanted to bite them to death. Chunchun and Huang Amao looked at each other and pouted.¡±¡±Originally it was such a guess, but you didn¡¯t even throw up once, it¡¯s estimated that we think too much.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. How was this possible? How could she be pregnant when she was still alive and kicking every day! She was only twenty years old, how could she be pregnant! However, it seemed that she and Zuo Hancheng had really not taken any precautions. If it were not for the fact that Old Master¡¯s attitude at that time was too overboard, he probably would not have gone all out. She looked at the two pots of pork trotters in front of her again. She was indeed not disgusted at all just now. Was it because her heart was overreacting now that her stomach started to churn after looking at them again? Anhao tried to pick up another pig trotter and took a bite. Suddenly, there was no taste in her mouth and she really wanted to vomit. The effect on his heart was too scary! She quickly threw the pig trotter back onto the plate. ¡°I just ate a few. It was too greasy, so I was full.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really not pregnant?¡± Huang Amao asked softly again. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at her.¡±What do you mean? How could she be pregnant before she graduated?¡± However, the lady boss of the restaurant happened to be passing by and heard their conversation. She found it interesting and immediately interrupted, ¡°Young lady, not everyone who is pregnant will have morning sickness. ¡®l¡¯nere are many ot pregnancy reactions.¡± The restaurant owner¡¯s words were like a knife that stabbed into Anhao¡¯s heart. She suddenly raised her hand and scratched her forehead uncomfortably. She muttered, ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s impossible.¡± The restaurant owner looked at her again.¡±¡±Hey, isn¡¯t this Gu An? Your hair has grown longer. I didn¡¯t recognize it just now. You look more and more like girls. The three of you used to dress up strangely. Now that the college entrance examination is about to begin, are you all starting to calm down? They¡¯re actually obediently wearing their school uniforms?¡± ¡°Lady Boss, our previous style wasn¡¯t very exaggerated, right? At least it was normal during the day, right?¡±Chunchun turned around and retorted. The lady boss smiled and said, ¡± I don¡¯t remember when the three of you went crazy from the bar and came to my shop to eat noodles. My wife and I were so scared that we thought you three were hooligans from somewhere. We didn¡¯t dare to open the door for you in the middle of the night. Later, my wife saw that you had drunk too much and didn¡¯t eat anything. She was afraid that your stomachs wouldn¡¯t be able to take it, so she opened the door and made a few bowls of noodles for you.¡± ¡°Hey, speaking of which, the three of you look really beautiful after taking off your demonic clothes. She was so good-looking. Why did she dress up like that in the past?¡± The Lady Boss was talking about the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal, the big deal. When she hurried back to the school gate, Chunchun and Huang Amao had yet to follow her. She was thinking about whether her period hadn¡¯t come recently and whether it really had something to do with her pregnancy. As she thought about it, she didn¡¯t look at the road ahead. Suddenly, she bumped into a figure and was caught off guard. She immediately leaned back. In the end, the person in front of her did not reach out to help her this time. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at her with a faint smile. She leaned back and shook her arms in the air for a long time before she managed to maintain her balance. When she saw Rong Qian¡¯s smiling face, Anhao turned around and tried to slip past him without a word. ¡°Why do you dislike that Rong fellow? Did that Rong guy offend you?¡± Rong Qian lowered his head and forced her to the school gate step by step. Anhao took two steps back to avoid his approach. At the same time, she turned her head to look at the students who were coming and going outside the school gate. She immediately raised her hand and pushed his chest..¡±Get out of my way!¡± Chapter 406 - Chapter 406: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (6) Chapter 406: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (6) Translator: 549690339 Rong Qian was still standing in the same place after being pushed by her. He bent his head and approached her face. He almost pressed down on her ear and laughed softly.¡±How did our Rong family offend you?¡± Anhao saw that she didn¡¯t push him away, so she immediately looked up and scolded impatiently,¡±¡±Are you sick? I just don¡¯t like you. I can¡¯t wait for you to disappear from our class and disappear from my eyes, okay?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t like me? You¡¯ve been unhappy since the first time you saw me at the airport?¡±Rong Qian lowered his eyes and looked at her with a strange smile.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, I haven¡¯t reported you to the school leaders for beating up people at the airport. You almost caused Grandpa¡¯s reputation to be ruined. I¡¯ve already given you face, but you¡¯re still so arrogant with me?¡± Anhao¡¯s face twitched.¡¯ He deserved to be mistaken for him when he took the same route as the robber. Rong Qian suddenly sneered and took a step back. He raised his hand and fanned it with disdain.¡±Why do you smell like pig fur?¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes. Is there smoke coming out of your nose?¡± After saying that, she took the opportunity to turn around and run into the school gate. Without looking back, she ran directly in the direction of the teaching building. Damn it, her little heart was a little depressed now, but she still had to continue her evening self-study. ¡°Gu Anhao, I¡¯ll show you the way.¡±Rong Qian did not chase after him. He stood at the school gate with one hand in his pocket and suddenly said this. Anhao didn¡¯t stop walking, thinking that he was having a stroke. ¡°If you hate the Rong family because of Rongxue, it¡¯s a coincidence. I don¡¯t have a good impression of you either.¡± The voice behind him was cold, as if it was a warning. Anhao suddenly stopped and turned to look at Rong Qian. She saw him standing at the school gate. There were car lights shining in their direction from the opposite side. He stood with his back facing her, his head slightly tilted, and the cold smile in his eyes was still a little strange. What¡¯s your relationship with Rongxue?¡± Only then did she start to re-evaluate Rong Qian. Previously, she had been avoiding him because she felt too embarrassed at the airport. Later on, when he sat directly beside her seat and caused trouble for her all day long, the people around her rolled their eyes at him. She was even more disgusted because he kept provoking him, and she wanted to kick him into the sky and stand side by side with the sun. However, she had never looked at Rong Qian seriously. Now that she looked at him, she realized that he was about the same age as her. It seemed that the teacher had said that he was twenty years old like her and that he was a student who had transferred from America to A High School temporarily. When she saw him at the airport, she felt that he looked familiar and instinctively hated him. Now that she thought about it, when Rong Qian turned around and looked at her seriously, Anhao¡¯s mind suddenly buzzed. F * ck, if I take a closer look, he does look a little like Rongxue! This was different from when she was mistaken by an assistant director on the mountain in T City. Rong Qian really looked like Rong Xue. If she put a wig on this evil-looking boy and put on makeup, they would look even more alike! Anhao suddenly walked back to him and pointed at his face.¡±¡±Are you Rongxue¡¯s illegitimate child?!¡± Rong Qian¡¯s expression instantly stiffened, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a voice from between his teeth, ¡°¡±l¡¯m her biological brother.¡± ¡± Oh, little brother.¡± Anhao had already expected that the game would withdraw its hand, so she nodded her head in disapproval.¡±So what if he¡¯s a younger brother? It¡¯s none of my business! I¡¯m warning you, no matter who you are to Rongxue, don¡¯t mess with me! This is my last warning! Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude! I didn¡¯t grow up as a vegetarian! I¡¯m not even afraid of Rongxue¡¯s hundreds of fans. Why would I be afraid of you?¡± After Anhao found out the truth, she felt that she couldn¡¯t stand with Rong Qian for too long. This kid was definitely up to something! As soon as she turned around, Rong Qian suddenly walked over and grabbed her wrist, pulling her back. She immediately raised her hand impatiently. ¡°What are you doing? Why are you grabbing my hand? Let go of me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± ¡°Are you crazy? You¡¯re grabbing my hand and not letting me move? Are you people from the Rong family crazy? Do you think that everyone has to act according to your script? Hurry up and let go of my hand! Let go! Did you hear that? Let go!¡± Not only did Rong Qian not let go, but he also held her wrist tightly and warned only found out about you and Zuo Hancheng a few days ago. My sister has been away from the Rong family for so many years and has devoted herself to the career she likes. Five years ago, she had already experienced despair and pain that she could not tell anyone because of that man. Now, she has moved to China and almost lost half her life because of that Zuo Hancheng! And you, Mrs. Zuo, who was openly acknowledged by Zuo Hancheng in front of the media, actually said that you hated people with the surname Rong? What right do you have to hate him? I know you snatched a man from me, I know my sister¡¯s life, I know my sister¡¯s life was already because of him five years ago¡­¡± ¡°The two students over there, what are you doing? What kind of behavior was it to be pulling in front of the school gate?!¡± Suddenly, a security guard from the school security room came out with a loudspeaker and shouted in their direction. Rong Qian¡¯s voice paused for a moment, and Anhao took the opportunity to shake off his hand. She took two steps back, then turned around and ran. Anhao ran into the teaching building and looked back. Seeing that Rong Qian did not chase after her, she leaned against the door and let out a long sigh. However, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Was Rong Xue trying to get the media to go first after she failed? Was she trying to get the Rong family to form a group to cause trouble for her? She clearly remembered that Rong Qian had arrived at the airport two months ago. At that time, he had already asked for the location of the apartment on stage, so he should have been prepared to come to A High School at that time! Since he had already arrived in A City two months ago, he should not have come just because of Rong Xue. However, the media had been crazily reporting about her, Zuo Hancheng, and Rong Xue recently. Did Rong Qian find out about her and intend to help his sister vent her anger? Ahhhhh! There was an ambush outside the school and a strong enemy inside the school. Life was really too dangerous! Should she give Zuo Hancheng a call to discuss it? If that didn¡¯t work, she might as well drop out of school and stay at home as an otaku! Wait a minute! She seemed to have forgotten something important! Rong Qian was Rong Xue¡¯s brother? She could not remember where she had heard that although Rong Xue had a good family background, she had fallen out with her family very early in order to enter the entertainment industry. There was once an exaggerated report in the United States about her old relationship with Zuo Hancheng. When Rong Xue left the Rong family, Zuo Hancheng took her in.. So, was it a coincidence that Rong Qian ran out now or did he really form a group to protest? Chapter 407 - Chapter 407: Good, Good, Untie Me (7) Chapter 407: Good, Good, Untie Me (7) Translator: 549690339 Information about the Rong family in the United States was displayed on the computer screen. However, it was similar to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s information and was not very detailed. However, there was information on Rong Qian. The reason was that Rong Qian was actually the heir of the Rong family. The Rong family had planned to expand their business in China in recent years. A few months ago, they sent their heir to study in China. Rong Xue¡¯s name was almost all over the information. Although the Rong family was a low-key family, Rong Xue was an internationally renowned actress. Her family situation had long been thoroughly investigated by various media reporters. For example, Rong Xue had cut off all ties with the Rong family before she was twenty years old. After she entered the entertainment industry, she had never had any contact with the Rong family. Even when she met her family in public, she would often brush past them without even smiling. The Rong family had always refused to be interviewed, and there were many opportunities for people to mention the relationship between the Rong family and Rong Xue. If that was the case, then Rong Qian looked like he was only 20 years old. He was so much younger than Rong Xue. He must have been a child before Rong Xue ran away from home. He should not have been very close to this sister. However, Rong Qian seemed to have approached her because of Rong Xue. What was the reason? Even if Rong Xue could not find a way to get close to Zuo Hancheng, she would not send her younger brother. Moreover, he was the heir of the Rong family. It was impossible for Anhao to not notice his abnormality. Besides, although Rong Xue was a little shameless, her intelligence was still at the same level. She would not be so stupid as to send her own brother to the school to do anything to her. But I really didn¡¯t expect Rong Qian to be the future heir of Rong Enterprise. The future BOSS of a multi-national corporation? The guy who always drove a Ferrari and wore a black motorcycle leather jacket? If the Rong family really fell into his hands, they would declare bankruptcy in less than two years, right? Anhao continued to look at the information on the screen thoughtfully. However, when she found out about Rong Qian and the Rong family, she would often find a pile of news and photos about Rong Xue. It was really eye-piercing! How much money did Rong Xue spend to get such exposure on the Internet? It was hard not to be famous with such exposure. She turned off the computer and coincidentally received Chunchun¡¯s call at the same time, saying that she was waiting for her at the super unique library outside the school. Coincidentally, Anhao did not find the study materials she wanted in the school library. She heard that the library outside the school had them and was planning to take a look. When she walked out of the school, she was about to walk around the parking lot to the off-campus library not far away. However, just as she walked past the parking lot, she suddenly heard the sound of a car and the sound of an accelerator. The sound was filled with killing intent. She suddenly felt a chill down her spine and turned around abruptly to see the Ferrari speeding towards her. Seeing that it was Rong Qian¡¯s car, her heart calmed down in an instant. The moment the car was about to hit her, she looked at the person in the car expressionlessly without any fear. When the car was about to approach, she smiled coldly. Then, there was an ear-piercing sound of brakes. The Ferrari stopped in front of her, and the front of the car was only about five centimeters away from her. It was the most dangerous thing, but it was also the safest threat. After all, there were many cars parked here behind her. Even if she was not short of money, she would not have to pay such a high price to create a car accident scene. After all, doing so would make it to the top social news, and the Rong family¡¯s reputation would be damaged. Since Rong Qian was the future heir of the Rong family, if he did not have this common sense, then he would have been sent to China to ¡± learn ¡± in vain! When the car stopped, the window rolled down at the same time. Rong Qian suddenly took off his sunglasses and glanced at her. His eyes seemed to be smiling as if he was praising her courage. Anhao snorted and looked at him without hesitation. At the same time, she patted the dust on her clothes when his car approached. After the shoot, Anhao looked at the weather and then glanced into the car.¡±¡±Yo, Young Master Rong, are you out of sorts from the sun? A major murder almost happened in front of our A High School!¡± Rong Qian smiled coldly and stuck his head out of the car to look at her. At the same time, he whistled,¡±¡±Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Anhao glanced behind her.¡± It¡¯s just the library outside the school. It¡¯s a few steps away. You don¡¯t have to let Young Master come.¡¯¡±¡® Rong Qian glanced in the direction of the library and chuckled. ¡°You¡¯re quite calm.¡± Anhao smiled ambiguously.¡±What do you think I should do now? Did you run away after hearing that you¡¯re Rongxue¡¯s younger brother, or did you get the media to beat the other party up like your sister?¡± Rong Qian raised his eyebrows. Seeing her smile like a little fox, he vaguely felt that this Gu Anhao, whom he had just tried to get to know, did not seem to be as rebellious and impulsive as the rumors said. On the contrary, this girl was very calm. It was as if she had been by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for a long time. Even the way she smiled was somewhat similar to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s old fox. It was obvious that she was a little fox who had been nurtured to hide her true colors. A woman who could be kept by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side might not be able to be probed with his previous judgment. ¡°I really thought that you would run to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s place and throw yourself into his arms, crying for help.¡± ¡°Crying?¡± Anhao immediately laughed. It was then that she realized that she had never cried in front of Zuo Hancheng. Even if she had cried, it seemed that she had only cried like an idiot when she was drunk. However, she had never really cried. No matter how difficult her path was, no matter how she used to wear the clothes of a gangster and wander around the bar just to earn some money to make a living, no matter how helpless she was and how the sinister Gu family pressured her everywhere, she never cried. After that, she had Zuo Hancheng, so why would she cry? Even though she wasn¡¯t sure how long she would be able to enjoy this happiness, Rong Qian had misjudged her if he wanted her to cry. ¡°You want me to cry over such a small matter?¡± Anhao said with a face full of amusement. Do you think I¡¯m like your sister, the kind of person who would cry in front of the camera?¡± ¡°Stubborn and dirty mouth. ¡°Rong Qian suddenly commented. ¡°Yes, the evaluation isn¡¯t quite right, but I¡¯ve already seen the admiration in your eyes.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t have the self-awareness of being thick-skinned at all. She only smiled and said,¡±¡±But I¡¯m sorry, Young Master Rong.. I don¡¯t accept blind worship!¡± Chapter 408 - Chapter 408: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (8) Chapter 408: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (8) Translator: 549690339 Rong Qian put one hand on the window and looked at her with his chin in his hand. He looked her up and down for a while.¡±The extent of his shamelessness is indeed surprising.¡± Surprised? Anhao was really surprised. ¡°You didn¡¯t investigate me properly before you approached me?¡± she asked in surprise. Wasn¡¯t it a little too ignorant to be surprised just like that? I thought that you, Young Master Rong, were very capable. You dared to come to me and shout that you were Rongxue¡¯s younger brother. Did you really think that I would spoil you?¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t think much of her sarcasm. Instead, he snorted and looked at her for a while.¡±You¡¯ve been married to Zuo Hancheng for quite a long time, haven¡¯t you? You haven¡¯t even seen a wedding photo, let alone a wedding.¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± Self-awareness? What self-awareness? What¡¯s wrong? I knew that your sister wanted to interfere in my marriage and that she was trying her best to get rid of me, but I just had to stay by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side. Bite me if you dare!¡± Rong Qian¡¯s originally calm expression darkened because of her description.¡±Gu Anhao, can someone like you be considered a woman?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not up to you to judge whether I¡¯m a woman or not. If I¡¯m blind, there¡¯s a professional eye hospital opposite the school.¡±Anhao raised her hand to wave her beautiful ponytail behind her head, turned around, and left. Seeing her fearless look, Rong Qian touched his chin and leaned against the car window, looking at her back with a cold and thoughtful expression. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t have any other skills other than bickering.¡±he said indifferently. Coincidentally, Anhao hadn¡¯t left yet. After hearing his words, she turned around and smiled at him.¡±Can¡¯t bickering convince you? So you¡¯ve taken a fancy to my talent. No wonder you¡¯re sitting next to me when you just transferred! I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m already married. I¡¯m not interested in a gigolo like you!¡± After saying that, she raised her hand and gave him the middle finger. Then, she turned around and walked away completely, not staying a step longer. Rong Qian looked at her back and suddenly pressed the horn with a laugh. The sound was very ear-piercing. Anhao didn¡¯t turn around when she heard the ear-piercing car horn. She walked quickly to the library outside the school, completely ignoring the kid. Although Anhao didn¡¯t seem to take Rong Qian seriously on the surface, the fact that the Rong family had come to protest still made her a little angry. What right did he have to find her to show off? Wasn¡¯t Zuo Hancheng their real target? Did he think that Zuo Hancheng was too difficult to deal with, so he had to squeeze her out first? Was she wronged? When Zuo Hancheng returned, she would vent her anger on him. Should she cook a pot of chili soup for him or wait for him at the door with a kitchen knife? Anhao took the opportunity when Xu Yuan went out to buy the fish to search for a long time at home. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car outside. When she ran downstairs again, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already entered the house. However, this person smelled of alcohol today. No wonder he didn¡¯t come back until almost eight o¡¯clock. It turned out that he had a social engagement. When Zuo Hancheng entered the house, he thought that she was willfully staying at school and not going home. He also thought that Xu Yuan was not at home. He sat down and raised his hand to touch his forehead. He looked like he had a headache. Anhao was about to walk down from the second floor when the door suddenly opened again. Xu Yuan was carrying a pile of trophies from the supermarket. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the sofa with a dark expression on his face. She quickly walked over and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did he go drinking and socializing without eating at night? Is your stomach uncomfortable?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not utter a word. When Xu Yuan quickly poured him a cup of hot water, he raised his hand to take the cup of water. He snorted lightly as a reply to Xu Yuan. As expected. Xu Yuan shook her head.¡± Hancheng, I won¡¯t stop you from bringing Shengling to China to develop your business, but the way of socializing in China is really unbearable compared to the United States. You left the Zuo family¡¯s business behind and only focused on Shengling Group. It¡¯s been so many years. It¡¯s time for you to stop fighting with Grandpa.¡± Moreover, look, the old master isn¡¯t as decisive as he was back then. At least he can be considered to have reluctantly accepted Anhao¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed as he held his forehead.¡±He has never seen a girl as thick-skinned as Gu Anhao, who would not run away no matter how he scolded her.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s lips twitched. She knew that Zuo Hancheng was just joking with her, but she still raised her head slowly and glanced at the second floor. She knew that Anhao was at home, but Hancheng obviously didn¡¯t know that his wife was there! Xu Yuan did not say a word. She quietly threw a look at Zuo Hancheng, who was having a headache because of the alcohol, and said, ¡°¡±1 just happened to buy some fish, so I¡¯ll make some fish soup to warm your stomach. I¡¯ll get Anhao to make you some hangover tea later so you don¡¯t have a headache.¡± Hearing Xu Yuan¡¯s words, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant eyebrows twitched slightly. At the same time, he turned around and saw Anhao walking down from the second floor step by step. Judging from Gu Anhao¡¯s glare and gnashing of teeth, it was obvious that she had heard what he had just said. Zuo Hancheng continued to hold his forehead. He did not know if it was a headache or a headache or a headache¡­ As soon as Anhao walked closer, he put down his hand and looked at her again.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you say hello before you came back?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you give me a rule that I can only stay on campus for one day every week and stay at home the rest of the time?¡±Anhao white, he glanced at her and suddenly picked up the cup in front of him, fiercely lowered his head and said: ¡°You said I¡¯m thick-skinned?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and caressed her face. He looked like he was taking advantage of her.¡±lt¡¯s indeed not thin.¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned black. She almost raised her cup to smash his head. However, she heard the sound of Xu Yuan pouring water from the kitchen. She held it in and shook his hand away. She took the cup and turned around to make some hangover tea. In the end, when Anhao placed the hangover tea in front of him, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡±¡±Wait for the driver to pick you up after school. Don¡¯t go home alone.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t return to the screening. She had originally wanted to go to the second floor to look for weapons, but now, it turned out to be a hangover tea. She hated that she did not have any rat poison at home. It was so inconvenient to murder her husband now. She turned around and glanced in the direction of Xu Yuan¡¯s kitchen. Then, she said in a bad mood, ¡°How would I know that school would end early tonight? The others didn¡¯t attend evening self-study, so I came back early.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows when he saw her strange expression as if she had just eaten explosives. He glanced at the cup of water on the coffee table and took a sip of the sobering tea that did not taste very good.. Chapter 409 - Chapter 409: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (9) Chapter 409: Anhao, Be Good, Untie Me (9) Translator: 549690339 That night, Zuo Hancheng went to bed earlier than usual. Although he was not drunk, he was still very sober. He only had a slight headache. It was probably because he was exposed to the cold wind when he was outside without a coat. In addition, he had drunk alcohol. It was not surprising that he had a headache under such circumstances. After taking a shower and drinking the fish soup made by Xu Yuan, Zuo Hancheng left the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to continue their relationship at the dining table and went back to his bedroom to rest. When Anhao returned to the bedroom, it was rare to see Zuo Hancheng sleeping earlier than her. She walked over and stood by the bed for a long time before she turned back to glance at the tie in the closet. It was rare for Zuo Hancheng to sleep so soundly due to fatigue and drunkenness. In the morning, Zuo Hancheng had some vague signs of waking up, but when he was about to turn over, he realized that he could not move his limbs. His natural alertness made him open his eyes in an instant, but in the next moment, he found that his hands and feet were tied up. However, he was lying on the bed in his bedroom. At this moment, he realized that his hands and feet were tied tightly to the metal pillars at the end of the bed. In just a moment, he had already guessed who had done this. He was even more surprised that his natural vigilance had gradually lost its effect beside Anhao. He was actually so deep in sleep that the girl did not even wake up when she was playing tricks on him! Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Zuo Hancheng had only glanced at the door, but in the next moment, he suddenly looked over again. He saw that Ann, who usually wore conservative pajamas at home to protect herself from perverts, seemed to have just taken a shower. She was naked and only wore a white shirt that he had hung in the bathroom previously. There was nothing under the shirt, and the hem of the shirt barely covered her buttocks. If she accidentally bent over when walking, she would instantly be in the limelight. However, Anhao¡¯s half-wet hair and the way she walked into the bedroom in his white shirt made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm heart flutter. When Anhao approached him, he stared at her as if she was walking like a cat. This was a sexy and seductive side that Anhao, who had always resisted bickering and blushed in front of him, had never shown. Who would have thought that Anhao, who was always arguing about who was on top and who was down in bed, would suddenly show this side of her to him one day? Even though Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands and feet were tied up, his eyes were still chasing after her figure until Anhao moved to the side of the bed. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Anhao¡¯s body was exuding the fragrance of shower gel, and her hair was slightly wet and draped over her shoulders. She had a confused expression as if she did not know how beautiful and seductive she was at this moment. Suddenly, she reached out her hand that carried the fragrance of shower gel and stroked his face.¡±Mom still hasn¡¯t recovered from the jet lag. She only slept after midnight last night, so I watched TV with her in the living room until late at night. She just went upstairs to sleep, so she¡¯s probably sleeping soundly now. I took a shower and was about to go to bed¡­¡¯ Anhao smiled and said,¡±¡±l forgot to take a change of clothes when I took a shower just now, so I just wore your shirt.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she spun around in front of him.¡±How is it? This is the first time I¡¯m wearing a man¡¯s shirt. I¡¯ve never worn it before¡­¡± Even if Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name was reversed, it would be hard to believe that Anhao did not do it on purpose. First, she tied his limbs up with a tie for no apparent reason. Then, she flirted with him with such an innocent and sexy look. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calmness earlier was completely covered by anger. He resisted the urge to peel this crazy girl off¡­ Of course, even if he wanted to peel it now, she couldn¡¯t do it. This girl was extremely ruthless. The four neckties firmly bound his hands and feet with the most familiar method. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn¡¯t break free. ¡°Anhao, be good. Stop fooling around and let go of me.¡±Zuo Hancheng tried his best to keep his voice as low as possible so as not to provoke this crazy girl. The current situation was really disadvantageous to him. He had to get out of this passive situation first. However, Anhao did not seem to understand him. She only smiled and wriggled around the bed. When Zuo Hancheng stared at her with fire in his eyes, she suddenly sat down beside him and drew circles on his sleeping robe with her little hand. When she felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were about to burst into flames, she did not look into his eyes. Instead, she slowly reached into his sleeping robe and felt the unusual heat and stiffness on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chest. She knew that this move was more effective than using a kitchen knife to cut him. Tsk, tsk, tsk. It was too much of a coincidence. He had drunk too much last night and slept so soundly. She had found an opportunity to tie him up. Before Zuo Hancheng could say anything, Anhao suddenly got up and got on the bed. She suddenly spread her legs and sat down on his abdomen. Zuo Hancheng stared at the little vixen who wanted to torture him alive. His voice was hoarse beyond control. ¡°Anhao, quickly untie it¡­¡± ¡°Shh Anhao continued to smile. The innocent and sexy look on her face could stir up any man¡¯s most sensitive nerves. Moreover, it was early in the morning. For men, this time was more difficult to resist this kind of seduction and torture than at night. As she lifted her hair, she bent down, as if she had inadvertently let him see the naked light under her shirt. Seeing the usually calm and composed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze that was about to burn her to death, Anhao did not fear him at all. She bent down and licked his neck until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body tensed up and he lowered his head beside her ear.¡±Wretched girl, what¡¯s wrong with you? Hurry up and undo it!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Anhao lay on his body and did not move. She even licked his ear. At the same time, she felt lucky that the bed in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom was strong enough. If it was not strong enough, he would have torn it to pieces by now. Looking at the little vixen on her, Zuo Hancheng suddenly bit her ear when she was about to get up.¡±¡±Little vixen, if you have the ability, don¡¯t let go of me for the rest of your life¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Anhao rubbed her body against his clothes. When she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s almost uncontrollable moan, she giggled and suddenly bit his neck hard. Zuo Hancheng froze for a moment, but because he could not move, he could only let her bite him. When Anhao felt satisfied, she got up and saw a row of bloody teeth marks on his neck. It was already good enough that she had only bitten him until he bled. She was satisfied with her handiwork and even more satisfied with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression, which showed that he could not take it anymore after being teased by her. However, in the next moment, Anhao suddenly bent down and licked the row of bloody teeth marks on his neck.. Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: Are You Pregnant? (1) Chapter 410: Are You Pregnant? (1) Translator: 549690339 However, in the next moment, Anhao suddenly bent down and licked the row of bloody teeth marks on his neck. Zuo Hancheng grunted in pain and seized the opportunity to bite her neck. Although he had bitten her hard, he was definitely not as ruthless as her. He was merciful and did not bite her. When Anhao was about to dodge the pain, he gave her a taste of her own medicine and licked her where she had been bitten. Anhao quickly shrunk her neck and retreated. She even covered her neck and glared at him fiercely.¡±You¡¯re still resisting at a time like this? Zuo Hancheng, do you want to die?¡± ¡°I already feel like I¡¯m going to die, little vixen.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled helplessly. His voice was obviously hoarse, but he still had to reply to her calmly. His eyes lingered on the white shirt she was wearing as he said,¡±¡±Looks like I should let you wear my shirt at home more often in the future.¡± Anhao really wanted to scold him for being shameless! You¡¯re so beautiful! If it wasn¡¯t to torture you and make you suffer, I wouldn¡¯t have made such a huge sacrifice! Of course, this was not enough. Anhao suddenly smiled again. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched, she realized that this girl had even more vicious tricks up her sleeves. She slowly undid the bathrobe on his body and spread her kiss down his collar. The kiss gradually turned into a licking kiss. Finally, she simply used her little tongue to mischievously draw circles on his body. Feeling that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s breathing had become unusually heavy, Anhao did not stop. Her hands were still moving towards his lower body. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body tensed up and stared at her movements, she did not really hold his hand as he wished. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and insisted on letting him rub against his body again as if he was not satisfied. No wonder men liked the sound of women in bed¡­ It turned out that a man¡¯s groan was also so pleasant to the ear. Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, which was always as rational as a god, was so pleasant to the ear, Anhao felt that all the hair on her body was about to fly. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a tie cracking. Anhao raised her head and looked at the tie on his left hand. Damn it, I didn¡¯t realize that one of the four ties was of such poor quality! How could Zuo Hancheng¡¯s necktie be of such poor quality? Could it be that some blind woman bought it from a street stall and gave it to him as a high-end item? An Hao shivered, afraid that she would be the one to suffer if she continued to court death. She suddenly jumped off his body. When she heard the sound of the tie gradually cracking, she jumped up high and took advantage of the three ties that were still binding him. She did not dare to waste any more time. She turned around and picked up her clothes and ran out. As she ran, she said,¡±l¡¯m going to school! I have to do the papers in school for a few days in a row, so I won¡¯t be coming back! ¡± As Anhao spoke, she quickly ran out of the door, afraid that Zuo Hancheng would be so fast that he would rush out and capture her. At the same time that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands broke free from the restraints, Anhao had already run out of the Gilt Scenery Garden as she wished. It was not until they got on the bus that Anhao turned around and looked outside that she heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other three neckties were sturdy enough. She had said that the quality of a necktie used by a person like Zuo Hancheng should be worthy of its price¡­ Recently, Zuo Hancheng felt like he had shot himself in the foot. His little wife used the excuse of studying hard to prepare for the college entrance examination as an excuse to go to night self-study with her classmates every day until 10:30 in the morning. As school ended too late, it was only natural that she did not have to go home to sleep in the middle of the night. Hence, Anhao only stayed at home for one night after school started before she met her mother-in-law. In the next three to four days, his little wife naturally stayed at school. However, in the face of the upcoming college entrance examination, she had to study hard and achieve good results. This was the rule that Zuo Hancheng had set for her, and she could not break it. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was not an exaggeration to shoot oneself in the foot. More importantly, Anhao had been throwing tantrums more and more frequently recently. She didn¡¯t pick up his calls and directly hung up on him. She even used the excuse of focusing on her studies to hurriedly pick up Xu Yuan¡¯s calls and hang up. It was as if he wanted to sever all ties with them. Meanwhile, Anhao was sitting in the school canteen, eating her bento boxes while complaining that the school¡¯s bento boxes were too unpalatable. However, Zuo Hancheng did not give her much money for her food and her card was confiscated. She did not want to go back to Liu Jing Garden to be a member of the party, but other than instant noodles, she was suffering from this unpalatable bento box every day. She finally managed to finish two pieces of meat in her lunch box. Anhao threw her chopsticks on the table as she couldn¡¯t eat anymore. She propped her chin up with one hand and looked out of the canteen window, wishing that someone would treat her to a big meal at this moment. Eating in the school cafeteria for three to four days in a row was really unpleasant. Suddenly, her phone rang. Chunchun and Huang Amao had returned to the dormitory to get their things. Anhao sat alone in the cafeteria and glanced at her phone. When she saw that it was Zuo Hancheng calling, she instinctively wanted to hang up. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you¡¯ve been having a good time these few days. Shengling Group¡¯s annual new advertising proposal is being filmed, and the advertising department has been sending A-list female celebrities from the country to try out their skills every day. Zuo Hancheng has been surrounded by all kinds of beautiful female celebrities these days. Since she was too lazy to serve him, she decided to stay in school for a few more days while he was busy. In the end, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have gotten into a strange situation recently. He would call her whenever he had nothing to do. After she hung up, he would continue to call her until she was willing to answer the phone and confirm that she was still alive. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, the auntie who was cleaning the dining table beside her suddenly called her. Anhao¡¯s hand trembled and she accidentally pressed the answer button. When she saw that the screen had already lit up, she gritted her teeth speechlessly and could only raise the phone to her ear. She said in a bad mood,¡±Hey!¡± Zuo Hancheng was not affected by Anhao¡¯s harsh tone. His voice was as calm as ever,¡±¡±Come out. I¡¯m at the school gate.¡± Anhao was stunned. She stood up abruptly.¡± It¡¯s only noon now. Aren¡¯t you busy at the company? Why did you come to our school?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°I¡¯m not busy today. I¡¯ll take you to eat delicious food.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm voice carried a hint of laughter. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes in the direction of the canteen. Although she was unwilling, she still walked out quickly because she said that she would bring him to eat delicious food. When she arrived at the school gate, she saw the black Bentley. Anhao immediately walked over and opened the door. Finally, she saw her husband, who she had not seen for three days. When Zuo Hancheng saw that she had come out obediently, he seemed to be in a good mood and gestured for her to get into the car. ¡°What are you taking me to eat?¡± After getting into the car, Anhao directly voiced her main concern. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly leaned over. The moment he suddenly leaned over, Anhao¡¯s entire body tensed up as she looked at him. She was afraid that this man would go berserk and do something to her in the car because he hadn¡¯t touched her for the past three to four days¡­ However, she suddenly heard a soft click. Zuo Hancheng had already helped her buckle her seatbelt and was about to step away when he saw her guarded expression. He immediately stopped and leaned forward to kiss her on the lips. Anhao immediately shifted her butt to the side, trying her best to avoid his touch. She turned her head to avoid his kiss.¡±l want to eat hotpot.¡± At the same time, he took the initiative to bring up the topic. Fortunately, her stomach was growling at the same time. She had only eaten a few mouthfuls because the lunchboxes in the canteen were too disgusting, and she was still hungry. Zuo Hancheng let her go, but he raised his hand and stroked her head as if he was coaxing a child. Anhao was still upset about what happened not long ago, including Rong Qian finding trouble with her every day. Who was it all because of? Who was it! In the past, Zuo Hancheng would always tell her the same reason for everything. He said that marriage was built on trust. He was talking about the future, not the present. She wondered why he had appeared at the banquet, why he had rushed in and carried Rongxue out of the press conference, why he had looked at her that way, and why everything that had happened after that. She could not pretend that nothing had happened. She did not know the reason, but she had a knot in her heart. If he did not explain the reason, the knot would only get bigger and bigger. One day, she would definitely pull Zuo Hancheng¡¯s collar and curse him, calling him a bastard for holding her back. And that Rong Qian was always in front of her like a flea, mentioning Rong Xue whenever he had something to do. She had been having a hard time in school these days, and she wished she could find a quiet place to live in seclusion! However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be in a good mood today. He did not negotiate with her and took her to a hot pot restaurant in the city that had a good reputation. ¡°Has anything happened in school recently?¡±Zuo Hancheng helped her place the meat into the bowl in front of her and asked gently as if he was coaxing a child. ¡°Are you done with your company¡¯s recent matters?¡± Anhao glanced at him. The female celebrity for the new commercial has been decided? Do you have time to continue tormenting me?¡± Anhao said with a murderous look on her face.¡±Are you still being pestered by any female celebrities? Is there a second Rongxue who wants to have a scandal with you? I haven¡¯t been home for the past few days. Don¡¯t you feel that the air in your life has suddenly become fresher?¡± Zuo Hancheng curled his lips but did not say a word. He picked up a few more pieces of meat and said,¡±¡±Sour.¡± ¡°What?¡± Anhao glared at him coldly.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been busy with the new project of the Advertising Department recently and have no time to ¡®torment¡¯ you. You¡¯ve investigated my whereabouts clearly.¡±¡±When did you become so close to Lin Qing in private?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked as he raised his eyebrows..¡± Chapter 411 - Chapter 411: Are You Pregnant? (2) Chapter 411: Are You Pregnant? (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao, who was eating the meat, immediately stopped and choked. In the end, she silently chewed the meat bit by bit into her stomach and calmly took a sip of the juice in the glass beside her. ¡°This lady has eyes and ears. As long as it¡¯s not a place like A High where a bunch of childish brats are gathered, I can make a name for myself. Just like your company¡¯s logistics department. Didn¡¯t a few people become my secret girlfriends? Who told you that Lin Qing must have leaked it to me?¡± Anhao said as she smacked her mouth that was filled with sweetness from the fruit juice,¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m familiar with all the employees in your company. Even if I don¡¯t look for Lin Qing and Mobai, it¡¯s easy for everyone to know that you¡¯ve been meeting those female celebrities frequently in the advertising department recently. ¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed and said, ¡°Meeting female celebrities frequently? Gu Anhao, the word ¡®dirty¡¯ always comes out of your mouth.¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡±ln any case, you¡¯ve been living a good life these past few days.¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed.¡± It¡¯s true that the company has been shooting a new commercial for the year. A few popular actresses recommended by Yixing have come over to try out for the show.¡±¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it easy for a big BOSS like you to take advantage of such a situation?¡±Anhao said innocently. She picked up some meat for herself and ate while stuffing her mouth with food.¡±l went back for the past three to four days. How many did you sneak in?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not avoid the question. He said directly,¡±¡±You¡¯re the only one I¡¯ve ever slept with in my life.¡± Anhao immediately stopped. She knew that this man could not take a loss. No matter how she mocked him half-jokingly, he would turn it into a soft and tender hand before returning it to her. He would only stop after messing with her heart. She immediately poked the bowl and plate in front of her with her chopsticks and turned her head to get some vegetables. At the same time, she muttered, ¡°That¡¯s true. Anyway, there are many women who want to climb into your bed every day. The only possibility of success is me.¡± ¡°Forced?¡± Zuo Hancheng was displeased by her seemingly casual words.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you enjoy every night?¡± Enjoy my ass! Every time, the next day, she would have a backache and cramps in her legs. She wished she could run off to eat a cover in a cover! However, he was always calm and composed, as if he had not been torturing her for the entire night, but had eaten some kind of elixir. Anhao had suspected that Zuo Hancheng was the reincarnation of a male vixen in her previous life. In this life, he was a man who specialized in absorbing women¡¯s essence. Otherwise, why would she be paralyzed on the battlefield every time? He would even carry her into the bathroom to personally serve her when she was bathing, but he had never been tired! At a certain Class A private hospital in A City. The atmosphere in the ward was dead silent. The door was suddenly pushed open. Rong Xue looked up and saw Rong Qian swaggering in with a black backpack on his back. He threw the backpack on the sofa and sat down beside the bed. He put one hand on the edge of the table and glanced at her coldly. Seeing Rong Qian like this, Rong Xue frowned slightly.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I say that I don¡¯t need any of you to interfere in my matters? It¡¯s their business to arrange for you to develop in China. If the Rong family wants to expand their business opportunities in City A or even in China, it has nothing to do with me. You can be the young master of the Rong family, and I¡¯ll continue to be my artist. We have nothing to do with each other.¡± Rong Qian snorted and was not in a hurry to speak. He just leaned back in his chair with an unrestrained attitude. He took a banana from the fruit plate and peeled it slowly, but he did not say anything. Rong Xue could not help but say,¡±¡±Little Qian¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you refuse to return to the Rong family even if you die?¡±Rong Qian glanced at her.¡± Why do you still recognize me as your brother?¡± When you left home, I was only this tall. I wasn¡¯t that close to you, so I didn¡¯t want to get involved in your trivial matters. The reason why I¡¯ve appeared in front of you recently is that I won¡¯t interfere with your life. It¡¯s your business that you chose to break away from the Rong family and insist on becoming an artist. However, you suddenly left the United States and went straight to China to develop your career. You¡¯re even willing to degenerate to the point that you can¡¯t even protect your reputation. As your former parents, the two elders in the family should at least have more shame for you.¡± ¡°How can you talk to me like that?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s face turned pale.¡± ¡°For Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve been tossing and turning for so many years. Isn¡¯t it just to wash away the black mark that the old man from the Zuo family deliberately left on you? Back then, you couldn¡¯t overcome Old Master Zuo¡¯s barrier, and in the end, you were set up by him to fall to this state. Now, what can you do no matter how much you wash? What happened back then has already happened. But thinking about it carefully, you can¡¯t blame Old Master Zuo for his hatred back then. If you didn¡¯t step into this circle, it wouldn¡¯t have been so easy back then¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Rong Xue¡¯s already pale face turned even paler.¡¯¡±¡®Who told you this? I¡¯m your sister, it¡¯s not your place to lecture me!¡± ¡°Teach you a lesson?¡± Do you think I care? If you have the ability, then don¡¯t use the Rong family¡¯s name and your father¡¯s name every time you encounter an emergency. If you have the ability, you can only rely on yourself. If you hadn¡¯t been lucky enough to meet Zuo Hancheng after leaving the Rong family, would you have been able to stand firmly in that circle? If you weren¡¯t so cruel and stupid, would you have used other ways to climb to a high position in Hollywood? And now, you¡¯ve abandoned everything that you¡¯ve fought so hard for just to take back Zuo Hancheng. In the end, you had nothing. You could only rely on your reputation in America and your identity as a Rong family member to support yourself. Rongxue, I really look down on you. You¡¯re not even 30 years old, but you¡¯re already so brain-dead.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s face could not be described as pale. How could she tolerate being scolded by her own younger brother, who was so many years younger? However, her lips trembled in anger. In the end, she could only clench her fists quietly and lean against the bed, choosing not to argue with him. ¡°Everyone walks their own path. I don¡¯t care how you knew about what happened back then, but it has nothing to do with you. If you want to stay in the country and help the Rong family enter the domestic business world, then do what you should do.¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t have that much free time. It¡¯s just that I happen to be in the same city as you and I happen to be in the same class as your love rival, Gu Anhao.¡±Rong Qian smiled coldly and glanced at her.¡¯¡±¡®l just happened to know her whereabouts. Since you still use the name Rongxue after coming to China, I¡¯m just giving you a piece of advice..¡± Chapter 412 - Chapter 412: Are You Pregnant? (3) Chapter 412: Are You Pregnant? (3) Translator: 549690339 Rong Xue looked up and saw Rong Qian¡¯s cold expression as if he was going to drag her into the abyss. She knew that he must not have said anything good. This gaze reminded her of her father standing in the Rong family¡¯s house and warning her not to enter the Rong family¡¯s door if she dared to enter that circle many years ago when she wanted to act. It was as if everyone else had seen through everything except her, so he needed to give her a few words of advice. Rong Qian looked at her with a cold smile. There was not much patience in his eyes, but he still stood there and looked at her, saying coldly,¡± Gu Anhao wasn¡¯t affected by the media¡¯s mockery or speculation about her. Her days were still like a fish in water. As for you, the inspirational goddess in the eyes of others, the loser in love that deserves heartache, at this moment, you can only sit on the hospital bed and look at the ward door that was pushed open again and again, welcoming disappointment again and again.¡± As he spoke, Rong Qian sneered under Rong Xue¡¯s frozen gaze,¡±¡±How long have you been hospitalized? Did Zuo Hancheng come to see you? It was said that he had never called her before. The day you were injured, the media reported that he had rushed out of the scene with you in his arms. Although he looked anxious, no responsible man would have stood by and watched.¡± ¡°Besides, you even pushed the blame of the incident back then to Zuo Hancheng. Before the truth is found out, he will definitely take responsibility. At the very least, he won¡¯t watch you die so coldly.¡± ¡°But in the end, he didn¡¯t do as you wished. He only sent you to the ambulance and then went back to look for Gu Anhao. Your fans surrounded Gu Anhao, and Zuo Hancheng led the criminal police to chase the fans away and bring Gu Anhao out of the crowd. It was obvious that he cherished his marriage more because of what you said to him. Do you really not know how good he is to Gu Anhao?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s fingernails dug into her palm bit by bit. She did not say anything, but looked at Rong Qian expressionlessly, who seemed to be cutting her heart with a knife. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s too risky for you to tamper with that matter. If Zuo Hancheng finds out the truth one day, do you know what kind of revenge you will face?¡± Rong Xue turned her head and did not speak. She clenched her fists tightly and said coldly after a long time,¡¯¡±¡®l didn¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t done it before?¡± Rong Qian snorted. Did Zuo Hancheng touch you back then? As far as I know, the few years you were with Zuo Hancheng was when he just took over Shengling Group. He often worked overtime until his stomach acted up, so he didn¡¯t have much time to spend with you. It seems that you didn¡¯t even stay at his place because he didn¡¯t have time to entertain you.¡± ¡°There were a few times when you couldn¡¯t take it anymore and tried to reason with him. Zuo Hancheng suddenly celebrated your birthday to make up for his negligence. In the end, you actually called the media over that day. The media publicized your birthday and allowed a small celebrity like you to use the reputation of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s girlfriend to rise step by step.¡± ¡°Rong Qian!¡± Rong Xue suddenly turned to look at him.¡± How did this kid investigate the matter so clearly back then? ¡°Is it enough? How was this enough? In order to enter Hollywood, you, Rongxue, had already turned your back on your family like a demon. You did not even stop Master Zuo from slandering you. You even accepted Master Zuo¡¯s arrangement on your own accord. In the end, you turned the blame on Zuo Hancheng and tried to redeem yourself in such a way? Rong Xue, if you were to inherit the Rong family¡¯s business, you would have been standing shoulder to shoulder with Zuo Hancheng, but you had chosen the wrong path from the very beginning! What was the use of sitting here and staring at the door in a daze?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Rong Xue grabbed a fruit basket from the table and threw it at him. Rong Qian nimbly dodged and sneered,¡±¡±To be honest, although I didn¡¯t grow up by your side, you should have heard of my personality. I¡¯m not interested in inheriting the Rong family¡¯s business. This kind of rigid life doesn¡¯t suit me. If you can give up everything that has been ridiculous all these years and go back to take care of the Rong family¡¯s business, there might be a chance to save it. Don¡¯t wait until the two elders at home really don¡¯t recognize you as their daughter anymore. Then, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll be harmed by you and lose my freedom for the rest of my life. I¡¯ll have to live in a rigid and bloody place like the business world for the rest of my life.¡± Rong Xue suddenly looked at him coldly.¡± Is this the real reason why you came to the hospital to visit me recently?¡¯¡±¡® Rong Qian shrugged his shoulders.¡± From the perspective of brother and sister, you should know that I will not push you into the abyss. I am saving you. At least we both have something to gain. You take back the glory of the Rong family¡¯s young lady, and I take back my freedom.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°What makes you so sure that I¡¯ll agree to your arrangement?¡± Rong Xue smirked coldly.¡± Rong Qian grabbed a chair and sat on it. He knocked on the back of the chair casually.¡±l happened to see Zuo Hancheng personally drive over to pick Gu Anhao up tonight. The two of them seemed to have gone for hotpot.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes reddened when she heard that. She stopped clenching her fists and held the blanket tightly. In his memory, Zuo Hancheng rarely ate red meat. He only knew fish or vegetables. Because of the years when his stomach was suffering from overcooking in the United States, he had developed an aversion to the red meat that often appeared in American fast food. Every time he ate it, he would vomit. However, he could patiently accompany Gu An to eat her favorite food time and time again. He could even eat hotpot, which he had always hated. He could even accompany her patiently. ¡± After eating hotpot, Gu Anhao went to a nearby Japanese doll shop and some small shops that girls usually go to. Zuo Hancheng patiently accompanied her from one shop to another. It was obvious that Gu Anhao was hurt by you recently, so Zuo Hancheng patiently comforted his little wife.¡± The more Rong Qian spoke, the paler Rong Xue¡¯s face became. This was the gentleness and patience that Zuo Hancheng had never given her. He would actually accompany a young lady to visit those childish shops, wait patiently for her to cool down, and be so patient and indulgent towards a young lady with a strange temper. She suddenly picked up the mobile phone by the bed, her hands trembling. She had endured it for so many days and tried to beat around the bush so many times, but to no avail. This time, she had to call him personally and hear his voice¡­ She did not believe Rong Qian¡¯s words! Chapter 413 - Chapter 413: Are You Pregnant? (4) Chapter 413: Are You Pregnant? (4) Translator: 549690339 It was rare for Anhao to be willful again today. Anyway, it seemed that Zuo Hancheng had specially taken some time to accompany her tonight, so she was not in a hurry to return to Liu Jing Garden or school. A busy man like him could suddenly take out a night to accompany her outside. She had been very poor recently, so she definitely wouldn¡¯t let go of this big gold brick easily. She bought a bunch of gadgets that she liked and spent a lot of money. She also bought some small gifts for Chunchun and Huang Amao. In the end, she was feeling a little pained when she bought it, but Zuo Hancheng did not even blink. Although he did not mind her sudden spending, it was not that he could not see her malicious revenge, but he obviously did not like the things she bought. There were a bunch of children¡¯s favorite items, a bunch of Japanese doll figurines, and a bunch of random gadgets. In the end, Anhao came out of the ice cream store with two buckets of ice cream. Zuo Hancheng was holding two bags of the trophies she had bought previously. He looked a little funny when he saw the bags of Japanese dolls, cartoon figurines, and little girls ¡®toys in his hands. It had dragged down Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Godhead by an unknown amount. Anhao could not help but click her tongue. She felt that if Zuo Hancheng could be so obedient every day, she could choose to temporarily put aside the misunderstandings that had not been cleared up, or she could quietly wait for him to solve the so-called things that needed to be cleared up before telling her the reason. She walked over happily and handed him a bucket of ice cream.¡±¡±Then, I bought you a bucket too. Eat it.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the colorful items in the colorful paper bucket in her hand. He did not take them. Instead, he turned around and placed her spoils of war into the car not far away. Anhao really bought a lot of things today, and she was afraid of getting hurt, so she could only put them in the trunk of the car. When Zuo Hancheng opened the trunk and put all her things in, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Anhao was enjoying her ice-cream while enjoying Zuo Hancheng¡¯s rare star service. At the same time, she glanced at the phone that had been ringing in his pocket for a long time and then stopped ringing again. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was helping her pack her things and had no hands to take it, Anhao walked over and kindly took his phone out of his pocket. She looked down at the caller ID and recognized it. The thorn in her heart that she had just calmed down suddenly stabbed out. She rolled her eyes and handed the phone to him.¡±Then, your ex-girlfriend, the sickly beauty international superstar Rong Xue, who is also very famous in the ward.¡± Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment after hearing her words. He only shot her a lukewarm glance, but he did not even look at his phone screen. He continued to put the pile of junk she had bought into the trunk without any intention of answering the call. Oh, he¡¯s still putting on airs! It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t been home for three to four days. If you haven¡¯t contacted your ex-girlfriend in the past three to four days, how could she suddenly call me when I¡¯m here? Anhao held the phone that was still clamoring non-stop and asked,¡±¡±Are you really not going to answer?¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had no intention of responding to her, Anhao could only pout. When the phone quieted down, she was about to put it back into his pocket. However, before she could put it in, her phone rang again. She looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. It was a local number in A City. She had never seen it before, so it was probably someone or something related to the company. Anhao answered the call for him and said, ¡®¡±¡®Then, I¡¯ll answer it for you.¡± As she spoke, she placed the phone in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ear. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the phone and took it from her. However, there was no sound on the other end of the phone. When he picked up the call, he heard a few light breathing sounds. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression darkened slightly when he heard the breathing sound. His voice was cold and indifferent.¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± Anhao lowered her head and looked at the cup of ice cream that she had left untouched. She immediately picked it up and said,¡±¡±Aiya, this cup of ice cream is about to melt. It¡¯ll be a waste if you don¡¯t eat it. Which flavor do you like? There are four flavors here. Is papaya okay? Come, I¡¯ll feed you!¡± As she said that, Anhao went up and scooped a large spoonful of papaya-flavored ice cream and stuffed it into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth. Zuo Hancheng did not reject her. He only glanced at the bucket of ice cream in her hand. Although he did not reject her, it was obvious that he did not like it. ¡°How about the mango-flavored one?¡± Thinking that he didn¡¯t like the taste of papaya, Anhao stuffed another mouthful of mango flavored papaya into his mouth. Although she knew that Zuo Hancheng did not like sweet food, it was already spring and it was easy to get angry in the beginning of spring. It was not bad to eat a few mouthfuls of ice cream occasionally. The call had been cut off long ago. Zuo Hancheng put down the phone and threw it back into her hands. At the same time, he said casually,¡±¡±There¡¯s no sound. I must have dialed the wrong number.¡± After saying that, he closed the trunk that had already been tidied up. When she heard the words ¡± wrong number ¡± , Anhao immediately hesitated. Could it be that the call just now was from Rongxue? Did Rong Xue find out that Zuo Hancheng was not answering her phone, so she borrowed his phone? Mm¡­ Did she hear something that made her sad¡­ Wasn¡¯t it inappropriate to bully a sickly beauty who was still recuperating in the ward? Anhao thought about it as she licked the ice cream spoon in her hand. Seeing her eating phase, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with disgust. Anhao took a look and immediately scooped another mouthful of ice cream into his mouth with the spoon that she had just licked.¡± Then, what about this strawberry flavor?¡± Zuo Hancheng pushed her hand and the ice cream away in disgust and turned to get into the car. ¡°Hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, you used to eat the cake that I ate before, but now you¡¯re disgusted by the ice cream that I¡¯ve eaten?¡±Anhao threw the disgusting two buckets of ice cream into the trash can beside her, turned around, and ran into the car. After sitting in the front passenger seat, she started to complain. Zuo Hancheng reached out to help her fasten her seatbelt. She was blabbering about how he disliked her saliva and allowed him to do it for her. Suddenly, her vision darkened. The handsome face that was infatuated by all kinds of women suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, giving her a fright. ¡°You¡­ Oh¡­¡± By the time she snapped out of her daze, the ten-minute tongue kiss had finally ended. Anhao panted as she stared at the man whose eyes had turned dark. Zuo Hancheng smiled wickedly. While she was still in a daze, he raised his hand and wiped the corner of her lips.. At the same time, he whispered in her ear,¡±¡±Do you know what disgust is?¡± Chapter 414 - Chapter 414: Are You Pregnant? (5) Chapter 414: Are You Pregnant? (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s face turned red from the kiss. She realized that she had been caught off guard and was too shocked. In addition, Zuo Hancheng had kissed her too hard, causing her to be in a daze for so long. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her mouth and glared at him angrily.¡±Then why do you dislike the ice cream I fed you!¡± Zuo Hancheng tidied up her clothes, which were a little messy from the pressure, and helped her fasten her seatbelt again. Only then did he let her go. His calm voice was still a little hoarse.¡±You¡¯ll know in a while.¡± What the hell did she know? He would know in a while! Why are you keeping me in suspense, you lunatic! The atmosphere in the ward was so tense that even the nurses who occasionally walked through the door did not dare to breathe loudly. They hurriedly came in to change the medicine for the patient who needed to continue the injection, then turned around and walked out quickly. Rong Xue¡¯s face could not be described as pale. She slowly put down the phone she had just borrowed from Rong Qian and stared at a spot in the corner without moving. She had thought that Zuo Hancheng had been avoiding her all this while. She had thought that Zuo Hancheng had always been a man who prioritized work and the family business. She had thought that Zuo Hancheng had been indulgent and good to her back then. She had never known that a man who used to have so many principles had completely abandoned all his principles and everything that she thought was most important to him on the other end of the phone. Zuo Hancheng had actually taken the time to accompany Gu Anhao for so long, even going to those boring small shops. Zuo Hancheng would actually accompany Gu An to eat hotpot and eat things that would stimulate his stomach. Zuo Hancheng actually allowed Gu Anhao to take his phone and answer his call. He had never eaten anything sweet before, but he was actually eating ice cream. More importantly, his stomach had just been ravaged by the hotpot, so he definitely could not eat ice cream again, but he¡­ Zuo Hancheng actually knew how to eat ice cream. This was something that Rong Xue did not know about him in all her years of knowing him. Rong Xue remained silent, but her pale lips trembled slightly. It was hard to tell whether she was angry or agitated. Rong Qian was still sitting by the bed, crossing his legs and looking at her expressionlessly. After a long time, he said, ¡°You and Zuo Hancheng have been together for so many years, but all the love and gentleness you have received is not as good as Gu Anhao¡¯s one day by his side. Are you sure you want to continue being stubborn because of this man?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s gaze landed on him.¡±¡± I entered the entertainment industry because of Han City. Everyone has their own preferences and dreams. Love is just a turning point on this road. I didn¡¯t cross this turning point. I failed. Now, I want to turn back and break it again. I won¡¯t return to the Rong family, and I won¡¯t take back what I said back then. You¡¯d better go back and be the young master of the Rong family. Don¡¯t cause trouble for me.¡± Rong Qian¡¯s lips curled up meaningfully.¡±¡±For Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve thrown away everything that you¡¯ve worked hard for in the United States for many years. For a man who may have never loved you, you¡¯re even willing to put down your so-called dream. Zuo Hancheng can¡¯t give you everything you want, be it your dreams or your future, but if you return to the Rong family¡­¡± ¡°Once I return to the Rong family, I will be like you, unable to work hard for what I like. You know very well what kind of family the Rong family is. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have obediently come to China to study. However, you did it just to find me and let me inherit the family business in your place. Do you think I would be willing to go back to that abyss that can tie people to death?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s expression was not good, and her eyes showed that she wanted to expel him.¡±No matter what you say, it¡¯s useless.¡± ¡°If I help you get rid of Gu Anhao and let her leave Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Rong Qian snorted. He stopped mid-sentence and looked at Rong Xue, who suddenly stopped. ¡°How are you going to fight for a man who might not have loved you at all? Unless the obstacle in front of you completely disappears¡­¡± Rong Qian¡¯s voice was low and slow.¡± We¡¯re both studying at A High School. There are many ways to get close to Gu Anhao and make her unable to escape. This is the most convenient condition for me and also the biggest bargaining chip in my hands.¡± Rong Xue did not say anything at first. She slowly lowered her head to look at the phone beside her. After a long time, she said in a very, very soft voice, ¡°What do you want to do?¡± ¡°I naturally have my ways to do what I want. The size of the chips is my freedom in the future. Of course, it¡¯s not a child¡¯s play. However, if I can help you clear the obstacles, you must return to the Rong family. Even if you don¡¯t give up your acting career, you must go back and give an explanation to the Rong family. At least let them let me go.¡± Rong Qian stood up and casually adjusted his collar. He said coldly,¡±¡±l¡¯m still young, and I can¡¯t stand so many rigid restrictions. This is the only breakthrough before I¡¯m completely restricted by the Rong family. My dear sister, I¡¯ll give you two days. I hope you can think it through and give me a satisfactory answer.¡± Rong Xue did not say anything. She just looked up at Rong Qian. ¡°Where will you let her go? How far? Will you never come back?¡± she asked softly. Rong Qian stopped in his tracks, his back facing the direction of the hospital bed. His face was expressionless, and his voice was indifferent.¡±Of course, the further the better, the longer the better. If it can be done forever, then never come back.¡± Rong Xue lowered her head slowly. Rong Qian seemed to have remembered his phone at this moment. He turned around and picked it up. At the same time, he saw Rong Xue sitting on the bed holding the quilt and still hesitating. ¡°Actually, returning to the Rong family is not a sacrifice for you now. This industry is changing with each passing day. One day, you will be eliminated. What you have to sacrifice is just the remaining rationality in your heart.¡± Rong Xue paused and looked at him again. ¡± You¡¯re a man,¡± Rong Qian said coldly.¡± You¡¯re suffering because your evil and kindness aren¡¯t pure enough.¡± As long as one of them became pure, there would be no more pain.¡± Then, Rong Qian spread his hands and said,¡±Let¡¯s go. See you in two days.¡±¡± Seeing Rong Qian walk out of the ward, Rong Xue sat still on the bed. After a long time, she reached out and picked up her phone that she had thrown aside. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number for a long time before she slowly typed a message and sent it over. ¡®Hancheng, did you really love me? I ask if it was once, just once.¡¯ However, when he sent the message, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reply. It was just in the past. Could it be that he had never loved before? The gentleness and indulgence she had in the past were now so respectful. She had never known that Zuo Hancheng was a passionate person. Why can Gu Anhao do it, but I can¡¯t? Then what about the past? What exactly were they¡­ Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Are You Pregnant? (6) Chapter 415: Are You Pregnant? (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Did the Gu family cause you any trouble these few days?¡± ¡°No, Gu Shishi should have been rescued, right? I heard that Gu Tianming went to Beijing on a business trip two days ago. Since he was able to leave A City, Gu Shishi should be out of danger, right?¡±After hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao immediately cursed. ¡°She has indeed been brought back to the Gu family, but she was too shocked. She will be recuperating in the sanatorium secretly arranged by the Gu family for the next few days.¡±¡± After Wenner revealed Gu Shishi¡¯s whereabouts, I stopped interfering in that matter,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± After that, Gu Tianming used the Qi family¡¯s connections in the military to save Gu Shishi. However, he owed her a lot of favors. He probably doesn¡¯t have much time to find trouble with you recently. ¡®¡±¡® ¡°I knew it. Last time, Mrs. Gu insisted that Gu Shishi must have been kidnapped by you. How could you have the time and energy to care about Gu Shishi¡¯s life and death? Moreover, Gu Shishi is not an important person.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows as she spoke.¡± At that time, Mrs. Gu didn¡¯t believe it. Now that we¡¯ve rescued her from those people, it¡¯s time for you to understand. We didn¡¯t kidnap her at all. We just provided a convenient channel for them.¡±¡® ¡°This matter won¡¯t end here. Although the Gu family won¡¯t find trouble with you at the moment, the Qi family has helped the Gu family and Qi Weiran¡¯s existence is a hidden explosive point. We can¡¯t be too careless.¡± Zuo Hancheng had been indulging her today, and his tone was so serious that Anhao could not help but feel a little solemn in her heart. Last time, Qi Weiran inexplicably wanted to trick him into going to the airport. He did not know what her motive was, but he had to be on guard. ¡°I¡¯ve completely severed ties with the Gu family now, right?¡±Anhao thought for a moment and suddenly said, ¡°After all, Gu Tianming really doesn¡¯t seem to be my father. I can completely get rid of the Gu family. I instantly feel like the air in the whole world is fresh. Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± When you get rid of the Gu family, it also means that you have nothing except for me. So, Anhao, you have to know what¡¯s good for you. You have to carry your husband well. Don¡¯t let your husband be snatched away by others. Remember to perform well. ¡®¡±¡® Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡±Who said that? I still have a house without you. Back then, you transferred so many houses under my name. It¡¯s enough for me to eat for several lifetimes. As long as I have a house, money, and don¡¯t starve to death, what¡¯s the point of having a husband?¡± ¡°If you say one more word, I¡¯ll withdraw a house.¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted.¡± ¡°Hehehe, how can you ask for something back after giving it away?¡¯¡±¡® I forgot to tell you about one of my rules.¡± Anhao glanced at him coldly.¡± There¡¯s basically no way I can take back what¡¯s in my hands.¡±¡± ¡°You can try.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not trying!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there no way? ¡°Anyway, you can¡¯t try!¡± On the way back to the Gilt Scenery Garden, she quarreled with Zuo Hancheng. When she entered the house, she found that Xu Yuan was not there. ¡°Is Mom unhappy that we haven¡¯t been home for the past few days?¡±Anhao looked at the empty house and suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, although she and Zuo Hancheng were at odds, her beloved mother-in-law was the most perfect mother-in-law in the world. She did not want her beloved mother-in-law to be angry or sad. ¡°How old do you think she is?¡±Zuo Hancheng pulled open his shirt¡¯s collar. He had just insisted on driving home and had to argue with this wretched girl all the way home. He had already exhausted half of his strength. Now, he could not speak anymore and sat down on the sofa. Anhao did not understand Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words for a moment, nor did she notice the change in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. She hurriedly put down her bag and ran into the kitchen. She saw that the kitchen was steaming hot, as if the food had just been cooked. There was also the fragrance of the food. The house was also clean and tidy. There was a fruit platter on the coffee table that had just been cut. When he opened the refrigerator, he saw that there were many fresh ingredients and delicious food inside. Then, he saw Xu Yuan¡¯s coat hanging on the hanger in front of the door. Only then did he confirm that his dear mother-in-law should have gone out for a walk and not flown back to the United States for a moment. For a person of Xu Yuan¡¯s age, would she meet a group of square dancing aunties and follow them to square dance? Was there such a thing as square dancing in America? Would Xu Yuan find it strange? Anhao paced back and forth between the house and the house. After making sure that her mother-in-law hadn¡¯t left, she walked out in peace. It was only then that she realized that Zuo Hancheng had not made a sound for a long time after he sat down. He was as quiet as a cat. The reason why he used the word ¡®cat¡¯ to describe it was because Zuo Hancheng was rarely so quiet and obedient as he sat on the sofa without moving. He would usually read the business newspaper or the company¡¯s email when he sat down. Are you really so free today? Anhao noticed that there were watermelons in the fridge that her dear mother-in-law had bought. It was not easy to buy such fresh watermelons in this spring season. The watermelons were all cut up and placed in the fridge. She almost drooled when she saw them. She quickly took them out to share with Zuo Hancheng. In the end, she ran out with a fruit platter and placed it on the coffee table. She muttered,¡± It¡¯s so blissful to have a mother-in-law around. I don¡¯t have to bring back a bunch of food and drinks myself. There¡¯s so much delicious food just by opening the fridge. If I had known that having a mother-in-law by my side would be so blissful, even if you were busy meeting all kinds of female celebrities in the company and didn¡¯t come back to stay, I would have come back to stay. No one else has such treatment!¡± Just as she finished mumbling, she could vaguely hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s breathing becoming heavy and ignoring her. Anhao was stunned for a moment. She turned her head abruptly to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was as quiet as a cat. This glance was so shocking that she quickly put down the fruit platter and stood up. ¡°Damn, Zuo Hancheng, why is your face so pale?¡±Anhao jumped in front of him and realized that not only was his face pale, but there was also some sweat on his forehead.¡±What¡¯s going on? He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly become like this?¡± Anhao reached out to touch his forehead and realized that it wasn¡¯t hot. Instead, it was very cold. Moreover, her hand felt a little cold. ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯ll be ready in a while.¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned and slowly raised his hand to press her hand down. However, it was a little strenuous. Seeing that he could not even move his hand, Anhao immediately picked up her phone and called the family doctor she was already familiar with.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯ll call the doctor over.¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to say no, but Anhao moved very quickly. She was already out of the reach of his arm, standing behind the coffee table and quickly making a call.. Chapter 416 - Chapter 416: Are You Pregnant? (7) Chapter 416: Are You Pregnant? (7) Translator: 549690339 After hanging up the phone, Anhao hurriedly walked back to the sofa. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was frighteningly pale, she really did not know where to start. He didn¡¯t have a fever or a cold. Why did he suddenly become like this? ¡°Does it hurt anywhere?¡± Anhao could not get used to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pale face, so she asked in a cautious tone. Seeing Anhao so frightened that she did not even dare to breathe loudly, Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed. However, he could only laugh for a moment before he stopped laughing. He sighed slightly in pain. When Anhao leaned over to show concern for him, he said in a low voice,¡±¡±Go get me a cup of hot water.¡± ¡°Hot water? Oh, okay¡­¡± Anhao obediently got up and rushed into the kitchen. She was so anxious that she almost got scalded. She finally brought out the water and handed it to Zuo Hancheng, but because the water was too hot, she could only put it on the coffee table for the time being. ¡°And then? Was there any quick-acting heart-saving pills in the first aid kit at home?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face twitched in anger.¡±¡±l¡¯m not having a heart attack. Why do I need a quick-acting heart-saving pill?¡± ¡°But your pale lips and face look so scary. Don¡¯t you need first aid? There was a traffic jam outside, and she did not know when the doctor would arrive! If he didn¡¯t do first aid, would he be in a hurry?¡± Zuo Hancheng was so angry that he almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and said, have a stomachache. How do you want me to give first aid?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s heart that had been hanging in the air instantly fell.¡±¡±So it¡¯s a stomachache. I was scared to death. I thought my husband had some terminal illness and was still thinking about what I would do if something happened to you. After all, just now in the car, you said that if I lost you, I might have nothing left. I actually took it to heart. If you died, whose money would I spend in the future¡­ Zuo Hancheng picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it at her head. Anhao grabbed the pillow and looked at him in disbelief.¡¯¡±You¡¯re in so much pain, yet you can still hit someone. Moreover, you¡¯re even using a pillow to learn my exclusive movement. You can really continue to break through the limits of your body, right?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was pale, but he was so angry that his face was as black as a pot lid.¡±¡±There¡¯s stomach medicine in the first aid kit. Go get it.¡± This arrogant tone! Seeing that his stomach was hurting so badly, Anhao did not argue with him. She got up and went to look for the first aid kit. She had noticed that there was stomach medicine in the first aid kit in the past, but she had never seen Zuo Hancheng take it. It was obvious that he had stomach problems before, but it had never acted up. Could it be that he had eaten ice cream today¡­ Thinking of what Zuo Hancheng had said earlier, Anhao immediately realized the reason. She quickly found the medicine and ran back to the sofa. She picked up a cup of water and tested the temperature. When she saw that the temperature was not that hot anymore, she brought it to his mouth. ¡°Then, quickly eat it. Will it stop hurting after you eat it?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand with some difficulty and took a sip from the cup. After testing the temperature of the water, he confirmed that the girl had a conscience and did not intend to burn him to death. He then took two pills and continued to drink a few mouthfuls of water. Anhao watched him take the medicine from the side. After seeing that he had taken the medicine, she took the cup of water with relief.¡±How is it? Are you feeling better?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He only glanced at her and saw that she was running back and forth, panting. He curled his lips slightly and said, ¡°¡±Aren¡¯t you angry all the time? You still care about me?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze, and she almost splashed the remaining water in her glass glass onto his face. This man was really stimulating her brain cells all the time! Anhao slammed the glass of water on the coffee table in front of him and said with a straight face,¡±¡±lf one day you really do something that makes me feel that I can¡¯t take it anymore and won¡¯t turn back even if I die, believe it or not, even if you fall in front of me covered in blood, I won¡¯t care about you!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows, but he sighed and said hoarsely,¡±¡±l believe you.¡± ..¡±Anhao fell silent. She was speechless and a little awkward as she was about to turn around and leave. Zuo Hancheng reached out and pulled her back. Although he did not have much strength because of his stomach problem, he easily pulled her into his arms and pressed her against her lap. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body was a little cold, but it was not cold. Anhao sat on his lap and only struggled for a moment before she stopped. She just leaned on him silently and looked down again. She reached out to touch his stomach and muttered, ¡°¡±Have you always had stomach problems?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled disapprovingly.¡± It¡¯s an old problem. I was too young in the past and risked my life for work. I often worked overtime without eating or drinking. It hurt my stomach. ¡®¡±¡® ¡°Then why did you accompany me to eat hotpot and those things that are hard to digest? And¡­¡± When she thought of the few mouthfuls of ice cream that she had specially fed him, Anhao fell silent. Although she felt apologetic in her heart, she refused to give in. She only said, ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself to eat things that you can¡¯t eat in the future. Even if you can¡¯t eat ice cream, I won¡¯t look down on you.¡± Zuo Hancheng had wanted to take the opportunity to coax his wife, who had been throwing a tantrum for many days, but this girl¡¯s completely unconventional way of doing things made him not know whether to laugh or cry. ¡°Who was the one who suddenly fed it to me when I wasn¡¯t paying attention?¡±Zuo Hancheng patted her on the head. ¡°Then won¡¯t you vomit if you can¡¯t eat it?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes. ¡°You suspect that I¡¯m looking down on you just because I¡¯m frowning?¡± It sounded as if he had been the one being unreasonable and giving in. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s stomach was hurting so much that his face was pale and pitiful, Anhao decided not to argue with him about who was being unreasonable. She turned around and looked in the direction of the kitchen.¡±l just saw the soup that Mom made in the kitchen. It seems to be nutritious soup. I think it¡¯s prepared to nourish my body. Now, the one who really needs to nourish your body is you. I¡¯ll get you some¡­¡± Anhao stood up. The moment she stood up, Zuo Hancheng slowly pulled her back into his arms and stopped her from running around. ¡°That was made for you and the child in your stomach. I can¡¯t snatch it.¡± Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was still pale and his voice sounded a little weak, the malicious intent in his tone was still very obvious. He was asking for a beating. However, Anhao had already suspected that she was really pregnant. Now that she heard this topic, she was extremely sensitive. Suddenly, she pushed his hand away and jumped up.¡±l¡¯ll go get you a bowl. Otherwise, when Mom comes back and sees that your stomach is hurting like this and I didn¡¯t do anything, she¡¯ll definitely think that I¡¯m not a good wife and mother. I only have such a good mother-in-law. I can¡¯t lose her good impression of me!¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless.. Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Are You Pregnant? (8) Chapter 417: Are You Pregnant? (8) Translator: 549690339 Before the family doctor arrived, Zuo Hancheng had already taken his stomach medicine and was feeling much better. When the doctor arrived, he only asked about his recent diet and other things. He told Zuo Hancheng not to stay up late and not to eat cold and indigestible food. He only left after making sure that he was fine. Although the doctor did not give him any injections or medicine, and it did not seem serious, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was still very pale. Stomach problems were an old ailment he had when he was in the United States. Although he did not need to get an injection when this kind of stomach problem occasionally acted up, it was very torturous once it acted up. When the family doctor was here, she had secretly used her phone to check the internet. That was why Zuo Hancheng had just taken some time out to play with her today. When he came back, she would take over the responsibility of taking care of him. Fortunately, Xu Yuan had left a lot of nutritious soup in the pot, and Anhao fed it to Zuo Hancheng. The reason why she was feeding him was because Zuo Hancheng had been able to get out of bed from time to time to show off his endurance and stamina even when he was seriously injured. Now, he was lying on the sofa weakly, waiting for her to feed him. To put it bluntly, he was going to take her down! ¡°Come, open your mouth, ah¡­¡± ¡°Big mouth¡­open your mouth a little wider¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Sigh, right¡­¡± The moment Xu Yuan walked through the door, she saw her daughter-in-law sitting obediently on the sofa and feeding Zuo Hancheng something to drink. Not only did she lower the sound of the door closing, but she was also afraid that she would startle the girl. Anhao¡¯s back was facing the door, so there was no sound of someone coming back. Zuo Hancheng saw Xu Yuan when she opened the door and walked in, but he still continued to enjoy Anhao¡¯s feeding without batting an eyelid. It was obvious that he was enjoying it. Xu Yuan had never realized that her son actually had such a side to him. He was so¡­He was becoming more and more like a human¡­ In the past, Zuo Hancheng had his own principles and opinions, whether it was his work, life, or anything else. He did not get close to others, did not get entangled with his family, and often had a temperament that did not care about the mortal world. He often sat in a heartless valley and looked down coldly at the world. However, what she saw today was Zuo Hancheng. Xu Yuan stood in front of the door and smiled. Although they hadn¡¯t been back for the past few days, it was indeed a pleasant surprise for them to suddenly come back today. However, when she saw this scene, she didn¡¯t want to disturb them for a moment. She quietly turned around and was about to go to the kitchen to help Anhao scoop some more soup. Although Anhao did not notice the sound of the door opening, she instinctively paused when Zuo Hancheng glanced at the direction of the door. She turned around and saw Xu Yuan, who was quietly walking into the kitchen.¡±¡±Mom, you¡¯re back? Is square dancing good?¡± Xu Yuan was about to say something when she was caught by this girl. However, she was instantly choked by Anhao¡¯s last sentence. She looked at Anhao¡¯s earnest look of concern in surprise and immediately laughed. ¡°Haha, you child.¡± Xu Yuan sat down on the sofa beside her.¡±¡±Who told you I went to watch square dancing?¡± ¡® Then why didn¡¯t you rest at home during dinner time?¡± Anhao said calmly.¡± You stayed outside for so long. What else could you have done other than watching the plaza dance?¡±¡± Before Anhao realized how much Zuo Hancheng was troubled by her narrow-mindedness as a commoner, Xu Yuan had already started laughing again. ¡°When I was young, I studied in England. Many of my good friends and classmates are now in China. A few days ago, we met up for tea in A City. It was a middle-aged and old classmate gathering. I just went to meet those old classmates from when I was young and had a few cups of tea together.¡± Only then did Anhao realize that she was really narrow-minded about the world of middle-aged and old people. It turned out that people at the age of her mother-in-law also had class gatherings! She had thought that it would be either a square dance or a group of aunties sitting together playing cards and drying their bracelets and rings, just like in the movies. Zuo Hancheng, who had been silent, suddenly poked her wrist, lest this girl continue to embarrass herself with her intelligence. When Anhao came back to her senses and looked at him, he signaled her to continue feeding him the soup. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, and she had no choice but to scoop another spoonful and feed it to the old man. ¡°What happened to Han City?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s attention seemed to have finally shifted from Anhao to her son. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t you know that he has gastric problems?¡±Anhao turned to look at Xu Yuan.¡± I didn¡¯t know this before. Today, I even secretly stuffed a few mouthfuls of ice cream into his mouth. In the end, it became like this. When Xu Yuan heard that, she immediately nodded in understanding.¡±¡±l know, Hancheng was still too young when he was in the United States. He competed with his father in the business world. Although he did do everything well, it still hurt his body. You can¡¯t eat cold food, but Anhao, you should eat less cold food in the future. You¡¯re pregnant, how can you eat ice cream?¡± Anhao was speechless. Alright, the topic had returned to her pregnancy. ¡°By the way, why hasn¡¯t Anhao¡¯s belly shown up yet?¡±At this point, Xu Yuan started talking.¡±Han Cheng, do you have any plans for this week that you can temporarily postpone? First, he would accompany Anhao to the hospital for a check-up to see how the baby was doing. The standard of prenatal check-ups in China should be similar to that in other countries, right? Do you need me to accompany you Anhao stood up immediately. ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng opened his mouth just before Anhao was about to confess to Xu Yuan. At the same time, he slowly sat up. He no longer looked as weak and pale as before when Anhao fed him the soup. Although his complexion was still different from usual, he did look much better. ¡°It¡¯s only been a month since I returned from America. No matter how fast it is, it won¡¯t be obvious now.¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯ll accompany her when it¡¯s time for the checkup,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom.¡±¡® ¡°How can I be at ease? Mom doesn¡¯t like to get involved in the affairs of young people like you, but Anhao, you can¡¯t eat ice cream when you¡¯re pregnant, especially in the first three months of pregnancy. There are many things to take note of. Didn¡¯t the doctor warn you when you first went to the hospital for a check-up?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. If she were to speak now, she might just hug Xu Yuan¡¯s thigh and admit that she had lied. However, Zuo Hancheng was clearly planning to leave without looking back. Was he really planning to make her pregnant? In any case, the difference was only a month¡­ One month, wait, one month! Why would she think of a month? Chapter 418 - Chapter 418: Are You Pregnant? (9) Chapter 418: Are You Pregnant? (9) Translator: 549690339 Why would she think of a month? The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. The more he thought about it, the more his stomach inexplicably began to feel uncomfortable. Could stomach problems be contagious? Anhao could not help but glare at Zuo Hancheng, who was making her feel a little uneasy. However, when Zuo Hancheng caught her gaze and looked at her, Anhao suddenly felt her stomach churn. She suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, turned around, and rushed into the bathroom. She bent over and retched crazily in front of the toilet bowl. It was retching! She desperately wanted to vomit, but nothing came out. In the end, when she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and continued to lean down to suppress her stomach, she finally vomited some of the food she had eaten at the hotpot restaurant that night. When Xu Yuan heard that Anhao was really vomiting, her heart ached terribly. She quickly got up and ran over as well. She didn¡¯t seem to mind the dirt that Anhao had vomited into the toilet bowl at all. She even went up to pat Anhao¡¯s back gently as if she was beaming with joy. While comforting her, she also told her not to vomit too hard so that her stomach wouldn¡¯t feel uncomfortable. After Anhao finished vomiting, she washed her face and gargled her mouth. She met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, which was like an X-ray, as he walked to the bathroom door. An idea flashed in her mind. She took advantage of Xu Yuan¡¯s lack of attention and secretly grinned at him. She raised her hand and secretly made an OK gesture. It was obvious that he was communicating with him through the air. How was it? I acted pretty well, right? Seeing Anhao¡¯s expression of satisfaction after her performance, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was still as sharp as an X-ray as he scanned her several times. She knew that Zuo Hancheng would be troubled by something. She did not know why she had suddenly vomited. It must be because Zuo Hancheng had recently taken off his cold mask and accompanied her for so long today that she was sick of him and vomited! It must be like this! Definitely! Definitely! Xu Yuan helped Anhao all the way back to the bedroom. She wiped her face and hands and helped her lie down to change her clothes. In fact, Anhao did not vomit on her clothes, but Xu Yuan was afraid that she would be too uncomfortable and personally took good care of her. Only when Anhao was lying on the bed in her pajamas, completely clean, did Xu Yuan take her clothes and go out to pack. The feeling of being held in someone¡¯s palm was really different. No wonder people said that a pregnant queen was ten months pregnant. Although Anhao believed that Xu Yuan was good to her not only because she thought she was pregnant, there was still some trust and feelings between people. Zuo Hancheng entered the room and closed the door behind him. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s meaningful gaze. She whispered,¡±¡±Your stomach doesn¡¯t hurt anymore?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He stared at her and at the same time, he saw the little girl sitting on the bed with a blanket covering her fingers. This action and this expression made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression even more subtle. The moment he became subtle, Anhao¡¯s heart would not be subtle anymore! sne Immediately explained,¡± I ate too mucn at mgnt, so my stomacn Isn¡¯t feeling well. I don¡¯t know how I acted just now, but I suddenly vomited. How is it? Isn¡¯t it realistic?¡¯¡±¡® When Zuo Hancheng heard Anhao¡¯s words, his gaze swept past her small hand that was clenched into a fist and placed on the blanket. He did not directly expose her lies that were hidden by her small actions. He only raised his eyebrows calmly. ¡°Eat less ice cream in the future.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng walked over and sat by the bed. At the same time, he grabbed her clenched fist and said,¡±¡±What are you afraid of?¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? I had a stomachache after puking, so I punched myself! Do you think stomach problems are contagious?¡±Anhao said innocently. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, but his dark and calm eyes had a faint luster. He lifted her fingers that were hidden in his palm one by one and slowly placed them on the blanket. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± A clear voice rang out from his mouth. At the same time, when Anhao raised her eyes, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear voice that seemed to be stirring her heart. ¡°When did your relative visit last month?¡± ..¡±An Fa looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. How could a man like Zuo Hancheng ask such a question in such a tone as if he was asking her if she had eaten? But he was obviously not asking. He was clearly reminding her! It reminded her that her period this month was already half a month late! Anhao was about to pull her hand away from him, but Zuo Hancheng held her tightly without batting an eyelid. At the same time, he looked at her little face that had already started to turn red. His dark eyes were filled with her reflection. Anhao didn¡¯t dare to look at him. The moment she looked at him, she felt that his eyes were full of bewitchment, making her want to get closer to him. It was like this every time. She clearly wanted to remind herself to be rational. If she let herself fall too deep, she would lose herself and lose her way. She wouldn¡¯t be able to see the truth. But this man¡­ He was just too scary when he was quiet and motionless. However, she was almost unable to resist him. ¡°This kind of thing is not a little girl playing house, and there¡¯s no need to hide it.¡± Under the warm yellow light, Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a calm gaze. His thin lips curved into a gentle smile. At the same time, he held her little hand that she had been trying to break free from and continued, ¡°If anything changes, remember that I¡¯m your husband. Some things can be willful, but some things can¡¯t be willful.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m really pregnant¡­¡± Anhao finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and said reluctantly, ¡±And this is the first time I¡¯ve vomited. What if I really vomited because I didn¡¯t digest what I ate last night? What if I¡¯m really not pregnant?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant eyebrows moved slightly and he chuckled.¡±Shall I take you to the hospital now?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s already so late!¡± Anhao immediately burrowed into the blanket, looking as if she was too lazy to go out after changing into her pajamas. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the time. It was spring now, and the night breeze was strong. It was indeed inappropriate to go to the hospital at this time. Moreover, Xu Yuan was at home at the moment. He could not make too much of a fuss at night. Otherwise, it would be too obvious that she had faked it. ¡°I have an appointment that I can¡¯t turn off for the time being tomorrow. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital the day after tomorrow. You¡¯d better promise that nothing will happen to you in school tomorrow. Don¡¯t make me worry, okay?¡± This tone¡­ It was as if he was coaxing a willful child. However, Anhao, who was hiding under the blanket, was still enjoying herself. Since things had already turned out this way, if she did not go for a check-up, something bad might happen. However, she remembered that she had drunk alcohol and eaten ice cream not long ago. She had also eaten a lot of junk food behind Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back in school these past few days¡­ Please don¡¯t be pregnant! She was still a child herself.. Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Are You Pregnant or Not? (10) Chapter 419: Are You Pregnant or Not? (10) Translator: 549690339 It was another evil physical class! Anhao used to be the student who liked physical education the most, but today she was terrified. Ever since she found out that she might be pregnant, she was so afraid that she didn¡¯t even dare to take big steps. She sat in the corner and drank water during physical education class while trying not to attract the attention of the physical education teacher. However, as the ¡± top student ¡± in the physical education teacher¡¯s eyes, it was impossible not to attract attention when he suddenly became so quiet. ¡°Gu Anhao, what¡¯s wrong with you today?¡± ¡°Teacher, Anhao might be feeling unwell during her period! Just let her sit there!¡± Chunchun spoke just as the physical teacher was about to walk towards Anhao. Only then did the physical education teacher stop in his tracks. He looked at Anhao again and saw that she had no other questions. He then continued to teach the other students. Anhao gave Chunchun a thumbs-up from the corner, then continued to play dead with an expression of having a stomachache during her period. At this moment, a group of students who had no Taekwondo foundation were fighting in the Taekwondo classroom. It was simply a group of demons dancing. Anhao held her chin with one hand and felt that she was about to leave the world¡­ She seemed to have heard of something called¡­Being pregnant for three years¡­ Could she really be pregnant? She wondered how long she had been thinking about whether she was really pregnant. Just as she was still troubled by this dilemma, a bottle of mineral water was suddenly handed to her. Anhao¡¯s expression froze. She turned her head to look at Rong Qian, who had walked over at some point in time. She immediately turned her head away as if she didn¡¯t see him, and she didn¡¯t take the bottle of water. Rong Qian casually put the towel around his neck and sat down beside her. Anhao shifted her butt in the opposite direction from him and said expressionlessly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t get so close to me. I¡¯m not familiar with you!¡± Rong Qian snorted and placed the bottle of water that she had not taken at her feet. At the same time, he said casually,¡±¡±Sometimes, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you¡¯re familiar with me or not. The important thing is that you know who I am.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Anhao immediately turned and glanced at this arrogant old man.¡±¡±Who you are has nothing to do with me? Who cares if you¡¯re Rongxue¡¯s brother or Rongxue¡¯s father? What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re the only one sent by the family and friends group?¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t explain. He just took a sip of water from his bottle and put it down. He sat quietly beside her, as if he wanted to sit in the corner with her and watch the demons dance inside. Every time Anhao got too close to Rong Qian, she felt that he was up to no good. Even if he was not up to no good, she still had to be on guard because he was Rongxue¡¯s brother. Who didn¡¯t know that a terrifying existence like the group of friends and family was easier to detonate than the snow itself! She did not want to get into trouble! Seeing that Rong Qian didn¡¯t intend to leave, Anhao stood up and picked up her towel to walk into the crowd. ¡°Do you know why my sister stayed in the hospital for so long, but later on, she didn¡¯t just stay in the trauma department?¡± Suddenly, Rong Qian¡¯s voice was very soft. Even though his voice was not loud and only she could hear him, she was the only one who could hear him clearly. Anhao didn¡¯t want to get too close to people like Rong Qian, but if a person was always deliberately annoying you, it was better to calm down and see what he wanted to see and listen to what he wanted to say. Although it was definitely not a good thing to suddenly approach her, since she had something to say, she would listen to it first. So she only paused for a moment and suddenly turned back. She walked back to Rong Qian and saw that he was still sitting there calmly, as if he was sure that she would come back. She stood in front of him and looked down at him coldly.¡±Guys, don¡¯t play around. If you have something to say, say it. There¡¯s no need to waste our time.¡± Rong Qian obviously did not expect Anhao to come back so bravely despite knowing that something was wrong. At first, he thought that she was just a little girl with a little personality, but she would not lose in a quarrel. She was just a little girl who coincidentally met Zuo Hancheng and coincidentally picked up a big bargain to become Mrs. Zuo. The light from outside the physical training classroom shone in. Anhao¡¯s back was facing the light as she lowered her head and looked at him coldly.¡±Why are you standing there in a daze? If you have something to say, say it. Don¡¯t always say half a sentence. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re choking? I still feel uncomfortable!¡± Rong Qian snorted and suddenly stood up. Anhao was shocked by his sudden action of standing up. When his head almost hit her chin, she quickly took a step back, but she was still hit by the strength of his standing up. She held her arm impatiently and took a big step back. Just now, she was standing tall and he was standing low, which made her a little indifferent. Rong Qian suddenly stood up and became taller than her by a head. The atmosphere reversed too quickly, and she felt safer by moving back. ¡°How can you be sure that I¡¯m hiding it? Instead of you trying to hide?¡± The sneer in Rong Qian¡¯s eyes was so obvious that Anhao wanted to blow his head off. How could the f ** king surname be Rong? What¡¯s wrong with driving a Ferrari? How could he talk to her with such an attitude? Did she think that she was one of those little girls in school who were infatuated with handsome men? Even if she had pursued all kinds of handsome men in the past, her infatuation level was definitely negative. She would always solve problems with violence. She would never be moved by such a cool and arrogant person! So, when she saw him lowering his head and approaching her step by step, Anhao looked at him with a fake smile. When he forced her to the corner of the classroom, she took advantage of the fact that no one was looking in their direction to suddenly raise her foot and stomp on his foot. Rong Qian¡¯s cold smile turned stiff instantly. He slowly lowered his head to look at the foot on his expensive international limited edition sneakers. Anhao was even more furious as she stomped on his foot. When she released her foot, she lowered her head and looked at the sole print on the sneakers. She immediately raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and whistled like a hooligan.¡±Aiyo, I accidentally stepped on you Rong Qian¡¯s handsome face could no longer be described as twisted. He was still looking at the new shoes that he had just ordered from abroad. It was a pair of limited edition exclusive sneakers that he had reserved before it went on sale. He had just worn the sneakers for less than four hours, but Gu Anhao had already stepped on them like a camel¡¯s poop! Chapter 420 - Chapter 420: Are You Pregnant or Not? (11) Chapter 420: Are You Pregnant or Not? (11) Translator: 549690339 Seeing Rong Qian¡¯s expression, Anhao held back her laughter and walked out in front of him. She didn¡¯t continue to stand in the corner. This morning, she noticed the pair of new shoes on Rong Qian¡¯s feet. Although he was a young master from a rich family, a pair of new shoes would not be a big deal. However, she found that he seemed to like this pair of shoes very much. He even used his hands to tidy the shoelaces twice in the morning class. Judging from his smug look, it was probably a pair of shoes that he had been looking forward to wearing for a long time. It was probably a pair of shoes that had been sent from overseas. Therefore, she had been feeling itchy all morning. She kept looking for an opportunity to step on it, but unfortunately, she never found the opportunity. But just now¡­ She couldn¡¯t be blamed. Who asked him to act cool in front of her without knowing what was good for him? It would have been better if he had cut to the chase and said what was on his mind. It would have been more comfortable if he had been more straightforward, but in the end, he had been hanging on to her! ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± Gu Anhao was so proud that she was about to leave. Rong Qian changed his attitude. He wanted to tease her. He didn¡¯t know that he was not because of his beloved shoes. He was ruined and unhappy. He turned his head and looked at her coldly. When he called her, his voice was cold. Oh, he was angry from embarrassment! Anhao pursed her lips and looked at him with an expression that said she didn¡¯t have time to entertain him.¡±¡±l¡¯ll only give you one minute to explain what you want to say. Don¡¯t try to be mysterious in front of me in the future!¡± Rong Qian also curled his lips coldly and turned to look at her. At the same time, he walked step by step in front of her. This time, he was not forcing her, but his footsteps made her inexplicably tremble. Anhao could not help but take a small step back instinctively. She stopped after a small step and continued to look coldly at Rong Qian¡¯s pretentious face. ¡°Gu Anhao, do you know that you¡¯re an anomaly?¡±Rong Qian sneered and suddenly lowered his head to her ear. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± ¡± A foolish alien who thinks that he has embraced the happiness in front of him, but he has never touched the slightest truth. A self-righteous alien who only lives in his own world.¡± Rong Qian¡¯s voice was cold and sarcastic. Anhao was annoyed by his approach and was about to push him away when he suddenly pressed his lips directly against her ear. His thin lips almost brushed against her ear, causing Anhao to tremble and retreat. However, Rong Qian¡¯s voice was low and cold at the same time.¡±¡±Rongxue had a major accident more than five years ago, which led to a miscarriage. The accident was too serious at that time, and the operation was not done in time, so she could never get pregnant again.¡± The coldness in Anhao¡¯s eyes suddenly froze. At the same time, Rong Qian lowered his head and stared into her stunned eyes. He continued to speak slowly in front of her, ¡°The culprit behind all of this is Zuo Hancheng.¡± When she heard the name Zuo Hancheng, Anhao suddenly looked up at him as if a switch had been pressed. At the same time, Rong Qian took a step back. Not far away, some teachers and students had already noticed the abnormality on their side. He slowly retreated, step by step, further and further away from her. Then, he curled his lips coldly and looked at her casually. He turned around, picked up the water bottle on the ground, and walked out of the physical fitness classroom. However, from the glass window outside the physical fitness classroom, she could still see Rong Qian¡¯s brisk steps and movements as he drank water. Anhao stood rooted to the ground, slowly clenching her fists and averting her gaze in the direction where Rong Qian had left. She slowly turned around and was about to pick up her towel to leave. ¡°Anhao, where are you going?¡± When they realized that Anhao was leaving, Huang Amao and Chunchun ran over. Anhao usually liked physical education classes the most. It was fine that she wasn¡¯t in the right state today, but she actually learned from Rong Qian¡¯s uncle who had just transferred to school and wanted to leave during class. ¡°My stomach hurts and I¡¯m not feeling well. I want to go back to the dormitory and lie down for a while.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t turn around. She just wrapped the towel around her waist for a few seconds before casually putting it on her shoulder. There didn¡¯t seem to be anything wrong with her state, but Chunchun and Huang Amao were too familiar with Anhao. It was only when they couldn¡¯t tell that something was wrong that they felt that something was wrong. ¡± Anhao, if there¡¯s anything you need, just tell us. We¡¯ll send you to the infirmary if you¡¯re feeling unwell¡­¡± ¡°No need, my period is not coming. I think she has a problem.¡±Anhao muttered casually and walked out quickly. Chunchun and Huang Amao looked at each other in surprise. Her period was late? ¡°I thought you could last until the end of the class, but in the end, you weren¡¯t calm enough.¡± As soon as Anhao walked out of the teaching building, Rong Qian, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared out of nowhere with an electronic car key in his hand. It seemed that he was planning to go out. To be able to enter and exit A High School so freely, park her car in the off-campus parking lot at any time, come and go as she pleased, and no one restricted her, it seemed that the Rong family¡¯s background was not simple. Anhao only gave him a cold glance and turned to leave. Rong Qian suddenly stretched out his arm to block her,¡±¡±Why do you look so pale? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡±¡±Are you done? You¡¯ve already said your piece, why aren¡¯t you getting lost? Why are you still acting like a flea in front of me? If you have anything else to say, say it at the same time. I¡¯m right here. Don¡¯t keep making people hate you!¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t speak at first, but then he sneered,¡±¡±Are you angry?¡± ¡°Crazy!¡± Anhao gritted her teeth. ¡± I thought you were so thick-skinned that no matter what I said, you wouldn¡¯t feel anything. It seems that your worldview is still normal. At least you know to consider your current situation¡­¡± ¡°Consider your sister! I returned to the dormitory just to consider the situation? If I lose weight and don¡¯t eat at night, will I still go on a hunger strike?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes again. So what if she couldn¡¯t have children in the future? What does it have to do with me? Is it my fault? Do I have to start considering my situation just because of a few words from you? My situation is very obvious. I¡¯m in the open and you¡¯re in the dark. Before I find the truth and evidence, it¡¯s all a hidden arrow!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not that stupid. I won¡¯t let my imagination run wild just because of a few words from you! If Rongxue¡¯s friends and family are planning to beat around the bush, then I advise you not to waste your effort. I won¡¯t fall for it!¡± Rong Qian suddenly raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. He suddenly smiled and patted her head.¡±lf you have the ability to pretend to be rational here, you have the ability to be calm.. Since you don¡¯t believe me, why are you angry with me here?¡± Chapter 421 - Chapter 421: Are You Pregnant? (12) Chapter 421: Are You Pregnant? (12) ¡°If I want to have a temper, I can have it. Do I need you to control it?¡±Anhao really felt like scratching his face. She had never seen someone like Rong Qian, who pretended to be cold and aloof, but actually shamelessly tormented others on purpose. Were all of them crazy? Rong Qian snorted and played with the key in his hand.¡±Do you want to eat something to cool down?¡± ¡°No need!¡± Anhao turned around with a cold face. ¡°Many things happened when Zuo Hancheng left the United States. Many of them are things that you can¡¯t imagine and will never know in your lifetime. Zuo Hancheng definitely wouldn¡¯t tell you. My sister had a miscarriage because of him, and because of him, she couldn¡¯t have children for the rest of her life. This is an indisputable fact. Whether you believe it or not, Gu Anhao, no matter how determined you are that Zuo Hancheng would not lie to you, my sister is also a reputable person. She would try her best to return to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, so she naturally has her bargaining chips and reasons that Zuo Hancheng couldn¡¯t completely reject her.¡± ¡® Therefore, I suggest that you see the truth as soon as possible and leave Zuo Hancheng as soon as possible. Otherwise, when everything comes to light in the future, everyone will be embarrassed.¡± Anhao walked straight back to the dormitory building as if she hadn¡¯t heard him. Rong Qian looked at her unyielding appearance and elegant back and raised his eyebrows. When Gu Anhao walked in, the coldness in Rong Qian¡¯s eyes gradually turned into a trace of hesitation. Finally, he looked in the direction of the school gate and snorted, but at the same time, he frowned slightly. This girl was too guarded, and she would not be persuaded. She was much harder to deal with than he had imagined. ¡°Are you crazy? You¡¯re not going to class in the afternoon and are reading alone in the dormitory?¡± During the evening self-study session, Chunchun and Huang Amao realized that Anhao hadn¡¯t gone to class for the entire afternoon, so they went back to the dormitory to look for her. Sure enough, they saw Anhao lying on the bed in the dormitory, reading an English book in her hand. Anhao didn¡¯t move when she heard the two women¡¯s voices. She continued to read the English book in her hands seriously and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°If you believe that you can learn by yourself, why did you come to school? He would download an online tutorial at home and self-study until the day of the college entrance examination before coming back to prepare for the exam.¡± Chunchun muttered and took out two buckets of ice cream from the bag at the same time.¡±Then, I saw the grandpa from the convenience store downstairs buying new ice cream just now. I saw that this is your favorite, so I specially bought two buckets for you. If there¡¯s anything you can¡¯t take it to heart, you can talk about it after eating ice cream. Don¡¯t be alone in the dormitory!¡± Anhao glanced sideways at the ice cream that Chunchun handed over. She wanted to say that she had to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow and couldn¡¯t eat ice cream today. However, when she thought of the indescribable feelings in her heart, she felt that it was better to eat some to calm down. After all, she might not be really pregnant! Even if she was really pregnant with her, she had eaten it before. Anyway, she was not ready to be a mother. Everything was up to fate! Seeing that Anhao was hesitating, Chunchun rolled her eyes at her and was about to put the ice cream away when Anhao suddenly sat up and snatched the ice cream and spoon. She sat cross-legged on the bed and started digging. As she ate, she smacked her lips and threw the English book into the corner. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to self-study tonight?¡±Chunchun asked. Anhao looked at the time while eating her ice cream.¡±¡±No, I need to calm down for the time being.¡± ¡°Calm down my ass!¡± Chunchun rolled her eyes at her. If you can¡¯t solve it, then two glasses!¡± Huang Amao laughed,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you dare. Aren¡¯t you afraid that Anhao might really be pregnant and the baby in her stomach will be frozen by your two cups of ice cream before it¡¯s even formed?¡± ¡°F * Ck off, how can it be such a coincidence? But how many days is my period late? He¡¯s really not here yet?¡± Chunchun suddenly took a closer look at Anhao¡¯s expression. Anhao bit the spoon in her mouth and didn¡¯t say anything. After a while, she continued to eat the ice-cold and sweet ice-cream. As she ate, she exhaled deeply.¡±Ah, it feels so good!¡± Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything more, Chunchun and Huang Amao had no choice but to stop pressing her. Who asked Gu Anhao to be a married woman now? She had started to learn how to hide her feelings from them. How annoying! ¡°Anhao, if you don¡¯t go to the evening self-study tonight, why don¡¯t Ah Mao and I go out with you to relax?¡± ¡°No need. You guys go to self-study. I¡¯ll be alone for a while.¡± Seeing Anhao continue to eat her ice cream heartlessly, Chunchun could only stop.¡±¡±Alright, call me and Ah Mao if you need anything. At night, she and I will bring our phones to the classroom.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and only nodded. Just as Chunchun was about to take the other ice cream away, she reached out and stopped her.¡±Didn¡¯t you say that you would give me both barrels? Don¡¯t move!¡± Chunchun was speechless. F * ck! You won¡¯t forget to eat even if you die!¡± ¡°Nonsense. When will I ever be able to put down the word ¡®eaten¡¯? I¡¯ll become an immortal. Hurry up and go to your self-study and leave me alone!¡± Chunchun pursed her lips and gave Huang Amao a look. The two of them had no choice but to leave. After the bedroom door was closed, Anhao continued to eat her ice cream in big mouthfuls. Rong Qian¡¯s voice kept ringing in her head. ¡® Rongxue had a major accident five years ago, which led to a miscarriage¡­¡± ¡°The surgery was not done in time, and it resulted in her never being able to get pregnant again.¡± ¡°The culprit behind all of this is Zuo Hancheng.¡± The culprit, Zuo Hancheng¡­ Did it mean what she thought it meant? Was Rong Xue pregnant with Zuo Han¡¯s child? She vaguely remembered that Rong Xue had mentioned this matter outside the emergency room of the hospital when Zuo Hancheng was injured. However, Anhao had interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. Every time Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with certainty and hatred, and every time Rong Xue lowered herself in front of Zuo Hancheng, she would be gentle and close to him. These were the things that she was most uncertain about. A woman who cared about her face and dignity was so persistent. So what was behind her that made her so persistent that she would rather put down her dignity? Anhao lowered her head and threw the empty ice cream box into the dustbin. She picked up the other bucket and stared at it for a while. She was wondering if this method of eating would be too cold, but now the fire in her heart needed to be extinguished, so she simply continued eating. The ice-cold ice cream passed through her throat, so cool that her entire body could remain in a cold and rational state until it piled up in her stomach bit by bit. The fire was finally extinguished, but at the same time, it was so cold that she sat on the bed and shivered.. Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Pain (1) Chapter 422: Pain (1) Translator: 549690339 When Chunchun and Huang Amao received Anhao¡¯s call, they heard Anhao¡¯s half-dead voice on the phone. They were so scared that they flew back to the dormitory. The moment he returned to the dormitory, he saw Anhao lying on the bed groaning in pain because she had eaten two buckets of ice cream. Her face was pale and bloodless. More importantly, she had been holding her stomach with both hands, and layers of cold sweat were dripping down her face. ¡°My ancestor, you didn¡¯t really eat both buckets, did you? This is a huge bucket! I thought you were just greedy enough to go over, but you really ate it!¡± Chunchun was so frightened that she quickly called Huang Amao to help Anhao put on her coat and helped her straight to the infirmary. However, it was already evening self-study time, and it was already past seven in the evening. The teachers in the infirmary had already gotten off work. Today was Saturday, and there were no medical teachers on duty at night. They could only support Anhao, who could no longer walk on her own, and run out of the school gate. They planned to call a taxi to send her straight to the hospital. As soon as she ran to the school gate, she bumped into Rong Qian who had just parked his car and walked in. Anhao was in so much pain that she let the two of them hold her. She could only bend over and hold her aching stomach. Before she could see who was outside the door, the three of them almost bumped into each other. Rong Qian quickly took a step back to avoid the three of them, but at the same time, he glanced at Gu Anhao, who was being supported by Chunchun and Huang Amao. When he saw her pale face, he immediately frowned.¡±Did she swallow poison and fail to commit suicide?¡± Hearing Rong Qian¡¯s voice, Anhao immediately raised her eyes and endured the pain in her stomach. She glared at him fiercely and growled weakly, ¡°¡±You¡¯re the one who killed yourself!¡± ¡°Rong Qian, where did you park your car? Help us send Anhao to the hospital!¡± Huang Amao looked around and realized that it was peak hour, so she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to get a taxi for a while. She simply asked Rong Qian to send them there. Rong Qian coldly glanced at Anhao¡¯s half-dead look.¡±¡±What happened to her?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need him to send me off!¡± Anhao resisted. Chunchun and Huang Amao pressed down on her rebellious body.¡±¡±Little ancestor, how much pain are you in? Hurry up and get someone to send you to the hospital. Who cares if it¡¯s Rong Qian or Rong sh * t? Those who can drive you to the hospital are all masters now. Can¡¯t you just bear with it?¡± Ignoring Anhao¡¯s resistance, Chunchun and Huang Amao looked at Rong Qian, who was hesitating. ¡°¡±No matter what kind of relationship you had with Anhao, and no matter how you got along with Anhao, you were classmates for a few days. You won¡¯t lose anything by helping her, right? Anhao had a stomachache, and it seemed to be very serious. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she had eaten too much ice cream or something else. She had to be sent to the hospital for a check-up!¡± Rong Qian glanced at Anhao, who was unwilling to be helped out of the school gate, and turned around.¡±Get in the car.¡± Chunchun and Huang Ah heaved a sigh of relief. They dragged Anhao, who had no ability to fight back, to the nearest parking lot outside the school gate and got into Rong Qian¡¯s Ferrari. As soon as she was pushed into the car, Anhao staggered and fell inside. Her stomach was in so much pain that it was almost piercing her heart. She really did not have the strength or energy to speak anymore. She could only let Chunchun sit in the car and help her up. Her entire body leaned weakly on Chunchun¡¯s shoulder and groaned in pain. ¡°Chunchun, you and Rongqian send Anhao to the hospital first. I¡¯ll go and inform the teacher. I¡¯ll take a taxi there later.¡±Huang Amao closed the car door and ran back to the school gate. Not long after, the car started moving. The speed of the car almost made Chunchun, who had not had the time to fasten her seatbelt, curse out loud. In the end, she held it in and did not curse. She only pulled the seatbelt and fastened it. Then, she supported Anhao, who was pale and moaning non-stop, so that she would not be thrown out by this kid¡¯s fearless speed. Rong Qian was expressionless and did not say a word on the way. The car was quiet except for Anhao¡¯s painful groans. At the same time, Anhao¡¯s mouth was occasionally mixed with curses. No one knew what she was cursing about. ¡°Serves you right. Who told you to eat so much ice cream? I bought you two buckets and you ate them.¡±Chunchun angrily pulled Anhao¡¯s hand away from her shoulder, but she still held onto her hand and did not let go. Anhao was in so much pain that she leaned against her shoulder and moaned non-stop. Her tears were about to come out. She held it in for a long time before she said hoarsely,¡±ln the past, I was fine even after eating three Overlord Buckets in a row¡­¡± ¡°Nonsense, the past is the past. Don¡¯t you know what kind of situation you¡¯re in now?¡±Chunchun immediately lowered her voice and whispered into Anhao¡¯s ear,¡±¡±Huang Amao and I usually joke around, but your body is yours. Don¡¯t you know what¡¯s going on? What if she¡¯s really pregnant?¡± Anhao instantly fell silent. She rubbed her face against Chunchun¡¯s shoulder aggrievedly and choked, ¡°¡±lt hurts.¡± ¡°Endure it! We¡¯ll be at the hospital soon!¡± Chunchun raised her arms and hugged Anhao¡¯s shoulders, almost hugging her in her arms. Although she sounded angry, her hands still gently patted her back.¡±Hold on a little longer. I don¡¯t know which hospital Rong Qian is sending you to. The car is driving so fast.¡¯ Anhao raised her head with some difficulty and looked at Rong Qian who was driving in front of her. She said hoarsely, ¡°Hey, you can just send me to a nearby hospital. Why does it take so long?¡± Rong Qian suddenly pressed the horn without looking back, as if he was impatiently urging the car in front of him. At the same time, he coldly said, ¡°Can¡¯t you see that there¡¯s a traffic jam?¡± ¡°The intersection in front wasn¡¯t blocked just now! There was a hospital there before!¡± ¡°Are you driving or should I drive? Why are you talking so much nonsense?¡± Anhao suddenly choked on his words, and her stomach hurt even more! If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had a stomachache and wasn¡¯t strong enough to fight, she would definitely rush up and tear him apart! There was clearly a small hospital in front, but he did not go there. Instead, he chose to walk a long way. It was obvious that he wanted to torture her on purpose! It seemed that he might as well have taken a taxi just now! ¡°Anhao, just bear with it. No matter how you and Rongqian don¡¯t get along, he¡¯s still driving you at a time like this! ¡°Chunchun pressed her shoulder and whispered. ¡°Bullsh * t, he obviously got on the wrong car.¡± Anhao lowered her head and complained softly. However, Rong Qian suddenly braked as soon as he got out of the car. She suddenly bumped her head into the leather chair in front of her and cried out in pain, ¡°Damn it, Rong Qian, if you want to die, just say it! Don¡¯t torture me!¡± Rong Qian glanced at her pale face in the rearview mirror and continued to drive the car forward..¡±¡±Who Who knew that the roads in your country would be so congested? What¡¯s with the morning rush hour and evening rush hour? Do you think Grandpa is willing to drive to such a congested place at this time?¡± Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Pain (2) Chapter 423: Pain (2) Translator: 549690339 A traffic jam was really a long story! Anhao could only endure it. Her stomach hurt so much that tears were about to fall. She buried her face in Chunchun¡¯s shoulder and continued to endure the pain. Finally, after 20 minutes, they arrived at a hospital. Chunchun helped the pale-faced Anhao and rushed into the hospital. They did not look carefully at which hospital it was. They only knew that it was a private hospital with a super good environment. After all, a public hospital would definitely not look so high-end and scary. ¡°I¡¯ll help Anhao to the consultation room. You go register and handle the procedures.¡±After Chunchun gave Rong Qian some instructions, she dragged Anhao into the elevator without caring whether he was willing or not. ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± Chunchun asked softly in the elevator. Anhao nodded.¡± Upon hearing this answer, Chunchun became even more worried. Could this ancestor really be pregnant? If she was really pregnant and something happened to her after eating the ice cream she bought, would she be hunted down by Zuo Hancheng in the future¡­ When they finally arrived at the clinic, Rong Qian was still waiting outside for the registration. Chunchun supported Anhao and waited on the chair outside. Seeing that Anhao was in pain, she stood up and said, ¡®¡±¡®1 don¡¯t know how much longer Rong Qian is going to dawdle. Sit here and don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go get you some hot water to warm your stomach.¡± Anhao sat on the bench outside the consultation room, clutching her stomach with one hand and looking at the time on her phone with the other. What a f * cking life. Zuo Hancheng had planned to bring her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, but she had to come to the hospital alone tonight. Zuo Hancheng should be busy in the company at the moment. He said that he had two very important meetings today and could not make it. At this time, he did not know if the meetings had ended. It was already past eight o¡¯clock in the evening, and he seemed to have other social gatherings. She only looked at her phone for a while and gave up on calling Zuo Hancheng. She wanted to let the doctor diagnose her first so that Zuo Hancheng wouldn¡¯t be dragged away from the conference table if it wasn¡¯t a big problem. In the end, he would think that she was crazy. ¡°Is it really Zuo Hancheng? He was so handsome, even more handsome than the ones he saw on the news. He was simply too handsome in person!¡± ¡°The media must not know that he suddenly came to see Rongxue. Otherwise, our hospital would have been surrounded.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. In the past, people like Zuo Hancheng could hardly be seen in the news. Recently, because Rongxue has returned to the country, his exposure in front of the media has increased a lot. I didn¡¯t expect to see Zuo Hancheng in the hospital!¡± ¡°He¡¯s even more handsome than a movie star. One look and you can tell that he¡¯s the type who looks slim when he wears clothes and has a lot of flesh when he doesn¡¯t. He¡¯s also very elegant. Although he looks cold, when a nurse greets him with admiration, he actually gives a polite smile back.¡± ¡°He was in Rongxue¡¯s ward just now, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s low profile, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s low profile, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him, it¡¯s him¡± ¡® He must have been here. Rong Xue has been hospitalized for so long. How could Zuo Hancheng not have been here? I guess it¡¯s just because of his Mrs. Zuo, so he¡¯s not too nice. Since we met him coincidentally today, he must have been here a few days ago.¡± ¡± Then, we¡¯ll wait outside Rongxue¡¯s ward at this time every day. We¡¯ll definitely see him again¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s really too handsome. Just one look and I feel like I¡¯ll never be able to find a husband in this lifetime¡­ ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. There¡¯s really no man who can catch my eye anymore¡­No wonder Rong Xue, a goddess-like figure, was so obsessed with Zuo Hancheng and kept a low profile. So rich¡­Ahhh, I only took a quick glance, and my soul was about to be stolen away¡­¡± Anhao heard two young intern nurses whispering in front of her. She immediately raised her head and looked in the direction of the two nurses. She saw the two of them talking as they entered the elevator. Not long after, the elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor. Looking at the number 17, Anhao sat quietly for a minute before she slowly stood up. With one hand on her stomach and the other on the wall, she walked towards the elevator step by step. After entering the elevator, she pressed the number for the 17th floor. The elevator was very quiet, accompanied by the smell of disinfectant. Anhao could barely stand up. The pain in her stomach tortured her to the point that she broke out in a cold sweat. However, the pain in any part of her body could not compare to the sharp soreness in her heart. Were the words of the two nurses just now true? Rong Xue was staying in this hospital? The elevator stopped on the 17th floor. A nurse was passing by outside. Anhao endured the pain in her stomach and pretended to be a family member of a certain ward in order to not attract attention. She walked out calmly. When she walked around to the boiler room in front, she suddenly saw two figures walking out of the door of the on-duty consultation room opposite the ward. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly dashed into the boiler room beside her. However, because she had dodged too quickly, her stomach was already hurting. The pain in her stomach instantly tortured her nerves as if she was cramping. Anhao was in so much pain that she hugged her stomach and continued to kneel weakly on the ground. She barely managed to avoid the eyes of the two people passing by the door of the boiling water room. After the two figures passed by without noticing the abnormality of the boiling water room, she was already in so much pain that she could not control herself. Her body leaned against the door and slowly slid down. Finally, she sat weakly on the cold ground. She covered her stomach with her hand and quietly poked her head out. Who else could it be other than Zuo Hancheng, who was standing in the corridor of the hospital, looking as if he was the center of attention? Zuo Hancheng held the medical report in one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. At the same time, he was talking to the bespectacled doctor next to him about Rong Xue¡¯s injury and the treatment of certain illnesses. From her point of view, the lights in the hospital were shining on him. His delicate facial features were as if they had been polished. He had lost his usual coldness and seriousness in the company. There was always a sense of calmness and warmth around him. He was always elegant but had a temperament that attracted everyone¡¯s attention. He was standing not far away from her. From the side, she could tell that he had been here for a long time. Anhao hid in the boiling water room at a good angle, so Zuo Hancheng did not notice her at all. She stared at his figure and every expression on his face. Her mind was buzzing, so much so that she forgot to turn her phone on silent mode while she was hiding here. The moment Chunchun suddenly called because she couldn¡¯t find her, her phone rang in her pocket. Anhao¡¯s ringtone used to be very ridiculous. Zuo Hancheng had ordered her to change her ringtone more than once. Later, she had no choice but to change it. She had to play the ringtone for him many times to get his permission before changing it. So, when her phone rang in the direction of the boiling water room, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes suddenly paused and he looked in that direction.. Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Pain (3) Chapter 424: Pain (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao immediately set her phone to silent mode and did not answer. At the same time, she endured the pain in her stomach and quickly got up to hide in the corner behind the door of the hot water room. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze only shifted to the boiling water room for a moment. At the same time, a nurse walked out of the consultation room next door while answering a call. He glanced at the nurse before glancing at the boiling water room thoughtfully. Anhao held her breath. She was so nervous that she felt as if she had just rolled in the boiling water. She was obviously here to catch an adulterer! Why was she so nervous? She hid quietly for a long time. The screen of her phone lit up continuously, and the pain in her stomach made her sweat profusely. She was nervous for a few minutes, but when she realized that Zuo Hancheng did not notice her and did not come over, she let out a sigh of relief. After waiting for a while, she peeked her head out and saw that Zuo Hancheng and the doctor had disappeared. She heaved a sigh of relief again, but her hands clenched into fists on her stomach at the same time. When two family members who were about to enter the hot water room noticed her abnormality and the sweat on her face, she turned around and left quickly. ¡°Anhao, where did you was pacing around anxiously outside the consultation room. She was just short of going to search for him floor by floor. Rong Qian had just come up with the registration form and happened to see Anhao coming out of the elevator covered in sweat and almost falling to the ground. ¡°Anhao!¡± Chunchun¡¯s complaints had yet to fade when she saw Anhao¡¯s condition. She immediately rushed over to support Anhao, who had almost fallen to the ground.¡±My God, why are you sweating so much?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Anhao clutched her stomach tightly, but at the same time, she suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Rong Qian, who was holding the registration form and looking at her indifferently in front of the consultation room not far away. When he met Anhao¡¯s strange gaze, Rong Qian immediately raised his eyebrows and walked over to her.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Why must I come to this hospital?¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth, and her eyes were shooting at his face as if she was holding an ice awl. Rong Qian¡¯s indifferent attitude was stunned by her gaze. After two seconds of hesitation, he asked hesitantly,¡±What did you see?¡± Ha! Anhao smiled coldly and raised her hand to press on Chunchun¡¯s hand. She endured the pain in her stomach and glanced coldly at the registration form in Rong Qian¡¯s hand. She pulled Chunchun and turned around. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Anhao, what are you doing? I just heard that it¡¯s very difficult for the private doctor in this hospital to register at night. Rong Qian specially used his connections to get a temporary registration. Why are you leaving? The doctor hasn¡¯t examined you yet!¡± Chunchun quickly pulled Anhao back. Anhao suddenly flung Chunchun¡¯s hand away and said coldly, ¡°¡±lf you don¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll leave!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to walk into the elevator when she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach and her legs went weak. She almost fell into the elevator. Chunchun was so frightened that she quickly went forward to support her.¡± My ancestor, what¡¯s wrong with you?!¡± You¡¯re still leaving when you¡¯re in so much pain? This is a hospital, let the doctor take a look at you!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say a word. She only grabbed Chunchun¡¯s hand with her fingers and didn¡¯t look back. Noticing Anhao¡¯s unusual behavior, Chunchun hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Rong Qian.¡±¡±What¡¯s going on? What kind of grudge did Anhao have with you? She¡¯s already at the hospital, but why¡­¡± Rong Qian only looked at Anhao¡¯s cold and stubborn back coldly. He did not say a word or explain, as if he would not interfere whether she left or stayed. She couldn¡¯t understand the situation at all. Chunchun was furious, but she saw Anhao holding her hand tightly. Obviously, if she insisted on letting Anhao get treated in this hospital, Anhao would definitely not agree. With Anhao¡¯s personality, there must be a reason for her sudden resistance. Friends always had to put their hands on the knife. Even if it was raining heavily outside for some reason, they had to send Anhao to another hospital even if they had to brave the rain! Chunchun helped Anhao into the elevator. Seeing that Anhao¡¯s face was pale and her hands were clutching her stomach tightly, but she didn¡¯t say anything, Chunchun looked up at Rong Qian, who was outside the elevator door. She saw that he had one hand in his trouser pocket and was looking at Anhao coldly. He didn¡¯t say anything, didn¡¯t explain, nor did he stop her. It was not until the elevator door closed and blocked Rong Qian¡¯s line of sight that Chunchun lowered her head and whispered,¡¯¡±¡® Anhao, are you really alright?¡± Anhao shook her head slowly.¡± It¡¯s fine. I don¡¯t want to see the doctor anymore. I want to go back to the dormitory. I¡¯m so sleepy now. I really want to sleep.¡¯¡±¡® Chunchun instantly pinched her tightly. Anhao, your face looks as if it was just painted. It¡¯s so pale that it¡¯s scary. If you don¡¯t see a doctor, it¡¯ll be too late if there¡¯s any problem! He had to see a doctor! Even if you don¡¯t want to stay in this hospital now, I can accompany you to other hospitals. Even if it¡¯s windy and rainy, I can do it. But you must see a doctor!¡± ¡°I¡¯m really fine. I just ate too much cold food. I¡¯m much better now.¡± Chunchun ignored her. When they reached the first floor, she walked out of the elevator and was about to drag her out to hail a taxi. Huang Amao happened to arrive at this time. Just as he stopped, he saw Anhao and Chunchun pulling each other out. Before he could go up to ask about the situation, he was suddenly pushed back into the car by Chunchun. At the same time, she pushed Anhao in as well. She sat down and pressed on Anhao¡¯s shoulder forcefully. At the same time, she said to the driver,¡±Go to XX Maternity Hospital!¡± When Huang Amao heard the words ¡± Maternity Hospital ¡°, the corner of his mouth twitched. Anhao¡¯s face turned even paler, but she clenched her fists tightly and did not say a word. She let Chunchun nag at her ear, saying that her brain was flooded, but she did not say a word. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you willing to see a doctor in this hospital for no reason? Would the doctors in this hospital eat people?¡± As the car drove towards XX Gynecology Hospital, Huang Amao asked in confusion. Chunchun glanced at Anhao from the corner of her eyes.¡± Who knows what¡¯s going on? But when I helped Anhao out just now, I heard a nurse on the first floor talking about Zuo Hancheng being here.¡±¡® Huang Amao¡¯s eyes widened. I just remembered when I took a taxi here. Isn¡¯t this the private hospital where Rongxue is staying?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, so why is Zuo Hancheng here?¡±Chunchun continued to look at Anhao. Anhao didn¡¯t know if it was because of a stomachache or something else, but beads of sweat kept dripping down her face. She didn¡¯t have much strength left, and she barely leaned on Chunchun¡¯s shoulder. However, she raised her hand and grabbed her hand tightly. Chunchun saw Anhao¡¯s actions and silently tightened her grip, as if she was giving her support and strength.. Chapter 425 - Chapter 425: Pain (4) Chapter 425: Pain (4) Translator: 549690339 10:30 PM. The ward was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. However, the door was suddenly kicked open. The sound was not loud, but it still startled the person who had not fallen asleep to open her eyes and look at the person who had come. Rong Qian looked at Rong Xue coldly.¡±¡±What did you do?¡± Rong Xue looked at him strangely, as if he wanted to collect a debt.¡±¡±You came to the ward in the middle of the night and spoke to your sister in such an attitude. Rongqian, are you sure you¡¯re already twenty years old?¡± Rong Qian curled his lips indifferently.¡±There¡¯s nothing wrong with my attitude. The problem is with you.¡± Rong Xue looked at him suspiciously. After a while, she said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that you would give me two days to consider? I¡¯ve already thought about it in advance and have started to do everything I want to do. Before I return to the Rong family¡¯s dry well in your place, I should at least keep the things that I should take back tightly in my hands.¡± Rong Qian immediately raised his eyebrows. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Rong Xue asked curiously.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Rong Qian coldly curled his lips.¡± I just found some abnormalities. After all, I haven¡¯t really started to do anything.¡± There¡¯s not much time left before you return to the Rong family. Are you sure you can take back what you want in the limited time?¡± Rong Xue turned to look at the warm supper on the bedside table. A warm light gradually appeared in her eyes. ¡°Of course.¡± Seeing the determination and light in Rong Xue¡¯s eyes, Rong Qian was silent for a moment. He looked back at the supper that Rong Xue treated like a treasure. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and left. After they walked out of the ward, two nurses walked back and forth in front of them. One of the nurses mumbled,¡±Did you notice the hot water room tonight? There seems to be an unfamiliar girl hiding there for a long time before coming out. Moreover, she seems to have a stomachache and left while holding her stomach¡­ ¡± I didn¡¯t notice. My attention was only on Zuo Hancheng tonight. He¡¯s really too good-looking in person¡­¡± The two nurses suddenly realized that someone was looking at them. After turning to look at Rong Qian, they quickly stopped whispering and quickly went to the ward next door for routine ward rounds. The next day. In the dormitory, Huang Amao had already gone out to buy breakfast for everyone. Chunchun walked to Anhao¡¯s bed and lifted Anhao¡¯s blanket. Seeing that she probably hadn¡¯t slept the whole night, she frowned the moment she lifted the blanket and turned over to pretend to be asleep. ¡°Stop pretending. You¡¯ve been rolling around the whole night. Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you haven¡¯t slept. ¡°Chunchun held her shoulder and did not let her turn around. At the same time, she whispered,¡±Anhao, are you sure you don¡¯t want to tell Zuo Hancheng about this?¡± Anhao pulled the blanket back over her body and buried her head in it. He recalled that after he forcefully brought Anhao to the hospital for a check-up last night, Anhao had returned to school like a lost soul and had been unable to sleep ever since. She had never seen Anhao like this before, and Chunchun was really afraid that she would not be able to hold on. In the past, Anhao had been bullied by the Gu family. She had been strong for so many years, but she had never been like this. Although she didn¡¯t say anything, didn¡¯t cry or shout, and obviously didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for anyone, it was her silence that made people feel the most terrifying. At ten in the morning, Anhao was resting in the dormitory because she had taken sick leave. Chunchun had been accompanying her. Suddenly, Anhao¡¯s phone rang, but she did not pick it up. Chunchun went over to pick up the phone. When she saw that it was Zuo Hancheng calling, she was so nervous that her hair stood on end. ¡°It¡¯s Zuo Hancheng. Do you want to pick him up?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao pulled the pillow over her head and refused to listen to her phone¡¯s ringtone. However, Chunchun¡¯s hand trembled and she actually pressed the answer button. She was so shocked that she almost threw her phone away. However, after calming down for a while, Chunchun felt that if she did not stand up for Anhao in this situation, there would probably be no one in this world who would care about Anhao¡¯s feelings and care about Anhao¡¯s everything. ¡°Hello¡­¡± Chunchun picked up the phone and tried to keep her voice calm. ¡± Oh, Anhao has a stomachache. She¡¯s in the toilet right now. She left her phone in the dormitory¡­¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s nothing. I just ate too much last night¡­¡± ¡± Yes, we did. We went out to eat a lot of things last night and all three of us had stomachaches this morning. Anhao had the worst of it and had already gone to the toilet many times. The school¡¯s infirmary checked her and prescribed her medicine. She said that she only hurt her stomach from eating and it¡¯s nothing serious¡­¡± ¡°Let Anhao answer the phone? She¡¯s still in the bathroom. I¡¯ll get her to call you when she comes back.¡± ¡°What is it? You want to see her? This won¡¯t do. Our school dormitory has a rule that men are not allowed to enter the female dormitory!¡± ¡® Even if you¡¯re Anhao¡¯s husband, you can¡¯t. Even if the principal allows it, our dormitory¡¯s housekeeper is very fierce¡­¡± ¡® That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Let Anhao rest in the dormitory today. If there¡¯s nothing else, President Zuo, don¡¯t worry¡­¡± ¡°Uh, yes, she¡¯s still in the toilet. It¡¯s really not convenient for her to answer the phone for the time being¡­¡± Finally, the call ended. Chunchun¡¯s back was drenched in sweat as if she had just gotten into a fight. She took a few deep breaths and looked at Anhao, who was lying on the bed listlessly. ¡°Are you really not picking up? Zuo Hancheng is already outside the school. Was he supposed to take you to the hospital?¡± Anhao threw the pillow to the side, turned around and said hoarsely, ¡°¡±The results are already in my hands. Why would I go to the hospital? But can¡¯t you think of a better illness for me? Why do you have to say that you have diarrhea?¡± Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips Lips He said that you were squatting in the toilet and had diarrhea, and you still felt wronged, right?¡± ¡°Forget it, so what if he has diarrhea? He¡¯s probably very speechless with this kind of illness. He¡¯s so speechless that he doesn¡¯t have to insist on visiting me.¡± Just as Anhao finished her sentence, the door was suddenly kicked open. Huang Amao rushed in with three cups of soy milk and two trays of soup dumplings. He stared at Anhao who was still lying on the bed,¡±¡±The left BOSS is here!¡± Anhao froze and Chunchun¡¯s eyes widened.¡±¡±You¡¯re here? Where are they?¡± ¡°I just went to buy breakfast and saw Boss Zuo downstairs. He should be coming up soon! He just didn¡¯t know if the dormitory auntie¡¯s power could defeat Boss Zuo¡¯s intimidation.¡¯ Chunchun suddenly stole a glance at Anhao, whose face had turned as pale as chicken poop, and comforted her, Maybe we won¡¯t be able to get in.. After all, with the dorm manager auntie around, even the principal won¡¯t be able to break into our female dormitory¡­¡¯ Chapter 426 - Chapter 426: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (1) Chapter 426: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Not necessarily.¡± Huang Amao winked at Chunchun again, meaning that the situation was clearly beyond their expectations. The dorm manager did dare to stop the principal, but that was Zuo Hancheng. Even the principal had to avoid him. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng was not from their school and did not need to be controlled. Besides, Anhao was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Although he didn¡¯t say it out loud, the meaning was obvious. After Chunchun caught Huang Amao¡¯s gaze, she hesitated for a moment and looked at Anhao, who was still lying on the bed. ¡°Is it too late for you to go to the toilet and squat there?¡±Chunchun whispered. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. At the same time, she suddenly heard familiar footsteps outside. They were light, steady, and neither fast nor slow. ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡± She sighed and sat up straight. She picked up a pillow and placed it on her stomach, making an expression as if she had diarrhea. Seeing Anhao¡¯s action, Huang Amao instinctively moved closer to the door. Then, he thought for a moment and opened the door. Indeed, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure appeared in front of the door. F * ck! A man suddenly entered the girls ¡®dormitory! He was also wearing a high-quality suit with a limited edition black business jacket in his arm. In the eyes of the girls who had just finished breakfast and ran back to the dormitory, he was simply handsome and earth-shattering. He was so noble that he looked particularly out of place when he stood there! The moment the door opened, Zuo Hancheng, who was about to knock on the door, quietly glanced at Huang Amao, who had her mouth wide open. He nodded slightly as a greeting to Anhao¡¯s best friend. Huang Amao suddenly closed his chin and hurriedly put down the things in his hands before opening the door. All the anger that was surging on Anhao¡¯s behalf disappeared in an instant when she saw Zuo Hancheng coming to the dormitory in person. All that was left was the fawning attitude of a lackey. She smiled and said,¡±President Zuo, please come in, please come in!¡± Seeing that Huang Amao was becoming more and more useless, Chunchun raised her hand to touch her forehead. At the same time, after Zuo Hancheng entered, Chunchun suddenly grinned.¡± Boss Zuo sure has special privileges. Even a fly of the opposite sex can¡¯t fly into the female dormitory building. You actually used two minutes to get in¡­¡± It was not that Zuo Hancheng did not hear the sarcasm in Chunchun¡¯s words. Initially, his gaze had already fallen on Anhao, who was sitting on the bed. When he heard Chunchun¡¯s words, he looked at her silently. His eyes were calm, and his voice was cold.¡±l¡¯m Anhao¡¯s family member, and I¡¯m also her guardian. Naturally, your dorm manager won¡¯t stop me.¡± Chunchun¡¯s tone was choked. She had almost forgotten how scary Zuo Hancheng was. He was definitely a shrewd person who would find the quickest and most accurate way to cut in on any matter. Calling the dorm manager a guardian or a family member was enough to make her unable to stop him. There was no need to consider the other relationship between him and Anhao. ¡°Then, then you can chat with Anhao. We¡¯ll go to the cafeteria first.¡±Chunchun ran to the front and pushed Huang Amao out together. At the same time, she took the soup dumplings and soy milk from the table. After some consideration, she was worried that Zuo Hancheng would be so heartless as to not bring Anhao to breakfast, so she left another cup of hot soy milk on the table and dragged Huang Amao out of the door. Of course, they even closed the door on the outside. The bedroom instantly fell silent. Anhao hugged the pillow tightly in her arms. At this moment, a few young girls asked,¡±¡±Su Chunchun, the huge handsome man who just entered your dormitory¡­Could it be the legendary Zuo Hancheng? I didn¡¯t see him clearly last time in the teaching building¡­¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± ¡± Oh my god, the president of Shengling Group is actually in our female dormitory. Oh my god.. ¡°Don¡¯t be so infatuated. Let¡¯s go and have breakfast! ¡°Chunchun shouted from outside and dragged those infatuated girls downstairs. Anhao¡¯s stomach was really uncomfortable, and her whole body was uncomfortable. She sat quietly on the bed without moving. Zuo Hancheng looked at the way she hugged the pillow tightly and covered her stomach. His handsome eyebrows furrowed, and he suddenly pulled the pillow out of her arms. With nothing in her hand, Anhao immediately raised her eyes and glared at him.¡±Why did you take my pillow?¡± ¡°Did you eat something bad?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was a little ugly.¡¯¡±¡®Don¡¯t stay in bed. Come down and put on your shoes. I¡¯ll send you to the hospital.¡± ¡°Go to the damn hospital!¡± Anhao was getting angry whenever she heard the word ¡®hospital¡¯ but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was as if he had been in a meeting at the company the whole night and had not gone to meet his ex-girlfriend at night. She felt like vomiting in her heart! Ha! Hypocrite! ¡°You look so pale. Do you want to sleep in this dormitory for a day?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were serious.¡± Don¡¯t dawdle. Get off the bed quickly.¡±¡® Anhao stubbornly sat on the bed and didn¡¯t move. At the same time, she continued to hold her stomach tightly with both hands and muttered unwillingly,¡±¡±l just ate too much and my stomach hurts. By the way, the teacher in the school infirmary checked on me. My period is delayed because of the sudden start of school and the change in the cook in the school cafeteria. Anyway, it¡¯s caused by all kinds of imbalance. My stomach hurts today. I think my period will come in two days¡­ Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, obviously not interested in the reason why her period came late. Seeing that he didn¡¯t care about her explanation, Anhao looked up and continued, ¡°¡±1 really don¡¯t need to go to the hospital. My stomach is very uncomfortable now. I just want to sleep in the dormitory and don¡¯t want to go anywhere. Moreover, look, it¡¯s cloudy outside. It¡¯s not worth it if you get wet and catch a cold¡­¡¯ Before she could finish her sentence, she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was still cold and clear. It seemed that he was unhappy that she had not told him about her stomach discomfort since last night. Anhao rubbed her stomach. She did not want to have any conflict with Zuo Hancheng for the time being. She was very powerless from body to heart, and she just wanted some peace and quiet, so she said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Chunchun say it too? I just have diarrhea. It¡¯s not like I have a heart attack, cancer, or any terminal illness that requires me to go to the hospital often. I¡¯ll be fine after one day.¡± However, just as Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng suddenly carried her over. Before she could react, he had somehow sat on the bed in her dormitory and carried her into his arms. Anhao¡¯s body tensed up and she instinctively wanted to resist. However, Zuo Hancheng placed a hand on her stomach that was hurting slightly. Although there was a thin layer of clothing between them, the warmth in his palm still made her feel comfortable. She only resisted for a moment before she obediently leaned into his embrace and did not move.. Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (2) Chapter 427: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s just a stomachache from eating too Hancheng¡¯s hand was caressing her belly gently. Seeing Anhao¡¯s comfortable and enjoying expression, his eyes were already filled with desire. At the same time, he glanced at the bed behind them. In the high school girls ¡®dormitory, in his wife¡¯s bed, in his arms, Anhao was leaning on his shoulder, moaning and moaning. Everything was so ambiguous and confusing. However, he could feel Anhao¡¯s stomach turning cold even through her clothes. Zuo Hancheng rubbed her stomach with one hand and held her firmly on her shoulder with the other.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s any problem, go to the hospital immediately.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao leaned her head against his chest and breathed in the scent of his body. She didn¡¯t say much, but the feeling of being held in his hands and pampered and protected was too wonderful. For a moment, she couldn¡¯t tell if everything was a dream or reality. She simply didn¡¯t want to ruin this beautiful moment too quickly. Even though her body was obediently snuggling in his embrace, her heart was so calm that she could feel the obscurity in her heart. ¡®Zuo Hancheng, what kind of person are you?¡¯ Is it good or bad to remove the thorns from my body for you? If one day I lose everything in front of me, what should I do with the places where the thorns have already fallen¡­ Anhao had been unable to sleep last night and her heart was in a mess. She knew that she shouldn¡¯t be greedy for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s beauty. She knew that she was just unwilling to ask about what happened in the hospital last night. She chose to remain silent, but it didn¡¯t mean that she didn¡¯t know. However, the warmth and comfort from his embrace still made her head sink. She did not know when she fell asleep in his arms. When Anhao woke up again, she thought that she was already lying on the bed. However, when she opened her eyes, she realized that she was still in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. He was still in the position that she felt most comfortable in the beginning, and his hand was still on her stomach. Previously, he was too sleepy and lost his mind for a moment. However, now that he had slept enough and woken up, he felt awkward when he opened his eyes. Moreover, this was their school¡¯s female dormitory! Zuo Hancheng had slept with her in his arms for such a long time. What method could she use to make herself look less awkward? However, before she could find a suitable action and expression to express the fact that she was awake, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded above her head.¡±¡±You¡¯re awake? Does your stomach still hurt? Anhao looked up and met his gaze.¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to go to the office today?¡± As she was about to struggle out of his embrace, Zuo Hancheng tightened his grip around her waist and held her in his arms, not letting her escape. At the same time, he looked down at her pale face and said, ¡°¡±1 specially took some time out today to accompany you to the hospital.¡± ¡°No need to go.¡± Anhao immediately said,¡± I also think that it¡¯s because of the recent hormonal imbalance that I¡¯m feeling unwell. It¡¯s because Mom is too eager to have grandchildren, so I might be too nervous and think that any phenomenon is like pregnancy. Actually, the teacher in the infirmary was right. It¡¯s just that my personal emotions have caused my body to be out of balance in various aspects.¡± ¡°Does your stomach still hurt?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond to her question and asked the same question. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± Anhao shook her head gently and her voice was also soft. She felt that the warm feeling in front of her could be easily broken. Some things were like walking on thin ice. She was not sure how long she could keep them. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to go to the hospital?¡± ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t be willful. ¡°I¡¯m not being willful. I¡¯m really fine. Moreover, spring is the most common season for all kinds of flu in the hospital. It¡¯s not a good thing to go to the hospital all the time if you¡¯re not seriously ill. I don¡¯t want to go to class with snot all day long.¡± As she spoke, she struggled out of his embrace again.¡±My legs are numb.¡± She was clearly the one sitting on his lap. He hadn¡¯t even called out that his legs were numb, but she had called out that her legs were numb first. Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her once before he finally let go of her. Anhao took the opportunity to retreat from his embrace. She retreated to the side of the bed and habitually picked up the pillow to press it against her stomach. Zuo Hancheng looked at her actions and asked, ¡°Can your school¡¯s infirmary do a blood test?¡±¡± ¡°Yes, I can.¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible that we don¡¯t go to the hospital. Go to the infirmary for a blood test later and give me the results.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± She knew that this man was not easy to deal with, so Anhao could only reply casually and continue hugging her pillow without saying a word. Seeing her silent and listless look, Zuo Hancheng suddenly looked at the time.¡±¡±lt¡¯s almost noon, and you still want to sleep?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ Her stomach was uncomfortable last night, so she didn¡¯t sleep well. She was still very sleepy.¡± Being sleepy was the only excuse Anhao could come up with. Sleeping was also the only way she could calm down. ¡°Then continue sleeping. I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he pulled out the pillow from her arms and threw it aside. Seeing how he was throwing the pillow at the American Football Club, Anhao quickly stepped back and said, ¡°¡±What are you doing? This was the student dormitory! Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re not such a hooligan that you have to touch me in the dormitory, are you?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng grabbed her waist with one arm and pulled her back. At the same time, he hugged her and lay on her bed in her dormitory. He held her in his arms as if he was really going to hug her and sleep like this. Anhao was just an excuse. She didn¡¯t really want to sleep with him! Besides, the beds in the dormitory were all single beds. When a tall and strong man like Zuo Hancheng lay down with her in his arms, she instantly felt that her bed was pitifully small. How could she sleep like this? All the resistance she felt when she raised her hand was easily resolved by Zuo Hancheng. In the end, Anhao could only lie in his arms obediently and let him hug her as they slept on the single bed in the dormitory. The reason why she had no choice but to behave herself was because Zuo Hancheng was already pressed tightly against her body. She could clearly feel the obvious changes in the body of this man who had been neglected by her for a few days and the threat when he was close to her. This was the girls ¡®dormitory. Zuo Hancheng was the CEO of a multi-national corporation, and he would not be so shameless. However, he had to show his shamelessness to the fullest in front of her. When she was already afraid of provoking him again and carefully stepped back, he locked her in his arms and did not let her go. I don¡¯t want to be so close to you! ¡°I¡¯m not sleeping!¡± Anhao was really powerless now. She clearly didn¡¯t want to be touched again, but she couldn¡¯t resist. However, Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to escape. Didn¡¯t he want to sleep? He continued to sleep with her. He did not care about the projects and contracts that were worth hundreds of millions waiting for him to discuss. He only slept with his little wife in the girls ¡®dormitory. The little thing¡¯s mood had obviously changed a lot recently.. As long as she was happy, it was fine! Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dorm (3) Chapter 428: Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dorm (3) Translator: 549690339 The bedroom door was pushed open quietly. Chunchun and Huang Amao had wanted to see if Anhao had been taken away by Zuo Hancheng. As soon as they pushed the door open, they saw the scene on the bed. Their eyes almost popped out. Oh my god! Their dormitory was occupied by someone else just like that! The great Zuo Hancheng was actually lying on the little bed in the girls ¡®dormitory. He was even hugging Anhao in a position that forbade Anhao from moving. It was unknown whether the two of them had fallen asleep, but the dormitory was quiet. It looked like they were really asleep. When they saw Zuo Hancheng, who was more than 1.8 meters tall and had long legs, lying on Anhao¡¯s bed, Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s faces turned red. They quietly closed the door. At the same time, Huang Amao shot Chunchun a look, meaning that there was still something left in the dormitory. She had to go in and get it no matter what. ¡°Forget it, don¡¯t take it. It doesn¡¯t feel good to go in like this.¡±Chunchun whispered. Huang Amao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± That Gu Anhao was acting like she was about to die yesterday. She¡¯s scared out of her wits when she saw Zuo Hancheng today. She didn¡¯t plan to tell him the truth at all, nor did she plan to throw a tantrum. Now, she¡¯s showing off her affection in our dormitory and even hugging each other to sleep. She¡¯s trying to make us suffer!¡± If Zuo Hancheng was so unkind, how could you be kind?¡± Chunchun was actually in a difficult position. There was a class in the afternoon that he had to bring his book to, but it seemed really awkward to go back to the dormitory to get it now¡­ Besides, Anhao¡¯s temper was too stubborn. She had clearly suffered such a great grievance and had already known the results after going to the hospital for a check-up, but she didn¡¯t say anything. Did she not want to fall out with Zuo Hancheng or was it because of something else? It was obvious that Anhao was not the kind of person who could endure, but Anhao did not mention it to Zuo Hancheng. Was it the power of love or did Anhao have other plans? It was really hard to figure out. ¡°Are we going in or not?¡± Huang Amao asked softly. The two of them stood outside the dormitory, not knowing what to do. At this moment, the dormitory manager came up to clean up. When she saw the two of them standing outside the dormitory, she walked over with a lonely look on her face. ¡°Ahhhhh, the old witch is here!¡±Huang Amao suddenly raised his hand and tugged Chunchun Yi¡¯s sleeve. Chunchun immediately turned around and saw that the dorm manager was already walking over. She pushed the door open and dashed in. At the same time, she dragged Huang Amao, who was still standing outside in a daze, in. After entering, the two of them closed the bedroom door. They turned around and saw the two of them still on the bed. They immediately gritted their teeth. Motherf * cker! Even though the dorm supervisor had allowed Zuo Hancheng to enter the dorm, if the dorm supervisor found out that Zuo Hancheng, the CEO of Shengling Group, had gone to A High¡¯s female dormitory to sleep with a student from their school, she would not care about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s identity. She would definitely kick him out like a pervert. He had no choice¡­ In order to protect Zuo Dada¡¯s reputation and name, the two of them could only make a sacrifice and come in to endure these two bastards who hugged each other as if no one else was around! Just as Chunchun was about to sneak past their bedside and take her book, Zuo Hancheng suddenly moved and Chunchun turned around in shock. Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be asleep at all. It was obvious that he had heard the conversation between the two of them. When Chunchun was picking up her book, he sat up beside Anhao. Seeing Zuo Hancheng sit up, Anhao had already fallen asleep. She lay quietly on the bed and did not react to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions at all. When Zuo Hancheng sat up, he ignored the wrinkles on his body that had been pressed by Anhao. He only glanced at Anhao, who was already in a deep sleep. His dark eyes were calm and thoughtful. ¡°Left¡­ President Zuo¡­¡± When Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned his gaze over, Chunchun met his gaze. When she met his gaze, she felt as if she had been electrocuted. However, she did not dare to show a lovestruck smile. After all, he was her best friend¡¯s husband. No matter how handsome he was, she could not drool over him. So, she grinned awkwardly. ¡°Did you guys accompany her to the hospital?¡± Zuo Hancheng saw Chunchun pick up the book and his gaze fell on Chunchun¡¯s face again. When they met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, it was as if a bolt of lightning in a rainy night could instantly pierce through them. It was as if she was not allowed to lie to her. Under normal circumstances, Chunchun would definitely not help her hide the results of yesterday¡¯s checkup for the sake of her safety. However, she remembered that Zuo Hancheng was at the hospital yesterday, and he seemed to have gone to the hospital because of Rong Xue. Thinking about what had happened during this period of time, she was furious. No matter how threatening Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was, even if she was facing a super powerful opponent, she tried her best to make herself look calm. Chunchun tried her best to laugh and said,¡± Yes, Huang Amao and I accompanied Anhao to the hospital for a checkup. She ate too much cold food yesterday and a bunch of messy things. The doctor said that she had a stomachache and prescribed some medicine.¡± As she spoke, Chunchun remembered that there were indeed two boxes of medicine for the stomach in Anhao¡¯s cupboard. After all, they often went out to eat and drink, and Anhao¡¯s stomach was tortured every time, so there was a backup medicine in the cupboard. Seeing Chunchun¡¯s gaze, Huang Amao immediately understood and went to open the cabinet beside Anhao¡¯s bed. He took out two boxes of medicine and handed them to Zuo Hancheng. He had only taken the medicine once, so it looked extremely realistic. Zuo Hancheng took the medicine and looked at it, but he still did not believe it. ¡® President Zuo, Anhao hasn¡¯t been in a good mood recently, so she¡¯s been eating and drinking to vent when she¡¯s with us. You should know her usual personality. She¡¯s always been a foodie. When she¡¯s in a bad mood, she¡¯ll eat endlessly¡­¡± Chunchun then pointed at the ice cream bucket in the dustbin beside the bed.¡±¡±Yesterday, Anhao ate two buckets of ice cream, so she had a stomachache and was sent to the hospital by us. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask the security guard and the old man at the school gate. They can testify that we were the ones who helped Anhao out when her stomach hurt so much that she couldn¡¯t stand up straight.¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, if you really don¡¯t believe me¡­¡± Huang Amao said,¡± When Anhao wakes up, we¡¯ll bring her to the hospital for another check-up. But there are so many flu viruses in the hospital recently. If there¡¯s nothing serious, I think it¡¯s better to go to the hospital less often. Otherwise, she might accidentally catch a cold. That would be a disaster¡­¡± Chunchun and Huang Amao were exchanging words. Zuo Hancheng put down the medicine box in his hand and did not say anything.. Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (4) Chapter 429: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (4) Translator: 549690339 After Chunchun and Huang Amao walked out of the dormitory, they felt that their breathing had become much smoother. However, Huang Amao said,¡± I don¡¯t think Zuo Hancheng is a complicated person. I feel that although he is cold and distant, that¡¯s because he always wants to be in a high position. Besides, he has his own aura.¡± Besides, I think he¡¯s very gentlemanly. He¡¯s actually quite good to Anhao¡­¡± Chunchun didn¡¯t say anything. She only glanced at her mouth and said after a while,¡±¡±But you saw the way Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao when he carried Rongxue out of the press conference. If you were Anhao, what would you have done?¡± Huang Amao sneered.¡± Of course I¡¯m going to smash Rong Xue¡¯s head while she¡¯s still bleeding. What else can I do?! ¡®¡±¡® Chunchun fell silent again. After she walked out of the dormitory, Chunchun suddenly stopped and whispered, ¡°¡±1 think Anhao has something on her mind. There was something wrong between her and Rongqian in the hospital yesterday.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if we can catch Rong Qian in class these two days and see what¡¯s going on between him and Anhao.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know what kind of earth-shattering thing had happened during the afternoon when she was asleep. When she woke up, she realized that it was already past three in the afternoon. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was not in the dormitory, she thought that he had left on his own accord. She got up from the bed and was shocked when she walked out of the dormitory door. She looked at the few female classmates who were not very close to her and asked, ¡°What are you guys doing? You scared me to death!¡± After saying that, Anhao was about to close the door with a displeased expression when someone suddenly said,¡±Anhao, is that really Zuo Hancheng?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Well, he was still a god after all. He was the center of attention wherever he went. He had just come to the girls ¡®dormitory, but he still had to be gossiped about by a group of people. She looked at them impatiently. Zuo Hancheng, are you blind? Can¡¯t differentiate? Why are you asking me to check out?¡± She really couldn¡¯t be blamed for not having a good tone. She had just woken up and was already shocked. Moreover, these girls had spoken ill of her behind her back in the past. Why should she have a good tone towards them? Seeing her attitude, the female voices immediately pursed their lips and dispersed. Anhao still felt that it was strange. So what if Zuo Hancheng was here? Didn¡¯t they already see him when he came to school? Was it rare for him to come to the female dormitory? However, just as she turned around and was about to go back to the dormitory and close the door, a voice suddenly came from outside. ¡® Gu Anhao, Classmate Gu Anhao.¡± When she heard the voice of the dormitory auntie, she immediately ground her teeth. She was already feeling depressed enough. Zuo Hancheng had come over, and she still had to face the dormitory auntie¡¯s interrogation! She suddenly opened the door and turned to look at the dormitory auntie with an angry expression.¡±What are you doing? Wasn¡¯t he just visited by his family? Is there a need for you guys to chase after me like this? If you want to ask anything, go to him, not me!¡± After saying that, she was about to close the door! However, the dormitory auntie had already walked over and pushed open the door with a few new blankets in her arms, not letting her close the door. Anhao was stunned for a moment. When she saw the new blankets in the dormitory auntie¡¯s hands, she was a little confused.¡±What¡¯s this for? A new student is coming to our dormitory? Didn¡¯t the school say that they would make an exception for the three of us and only let the three of us stay in this dormitory? If there were new students, they could just let them stay in other dormitories. It was not like all of them were full!¡± The dorm housekeeper ran up with the blanket and had yet to say anything when she heard Anhao grumbling unwillingly for a long time. She simply placed the few sets of blankets on Anhao¡¯s bed. ¡°It was President Zuo who instructed us to change all three of your blankets. He also told us to come over every week to collect your blankets and wash them.¡±As the dorm manager spoke, she picked up the clean bedding on Anhao¡¯s bed, which had been washed for three years and had turned a little white.¡±¡±From now on, let us wash your blankets once a week.¡± Anhao opened her mouth and was a little dumbfounded. Usually, each of them would have two sets of blankets. They would exchange them and wash them. When they needed to wash them, they would take them out of school to find a laundry shop to help wash them. They had never enjoyed the high-class treatment of being washed by the dormitory auntie! It was said that only the children of the school leaders would receive such treatment! Seeing that the new bedding had been changed, the other two sets were placed on Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s bed by the dormitory auntie. Before she left, she turned around and said,¡±After Su Chunchun and Huang Mao¡¯s blankets are changed, ask them to bring them to my place.¡± Anhao had yet to recover from her shock even after the housekeeper left. She suddenly walked up quickly and opened the bedroom door. She stretched her neck and looked out. She looked at the auntie¡¯s back and shouted, ¡°Then will you wash our school uniforms?¡± The dormitory auntie staggered and almost fell down the stairs. She barely managed to compose herself and turned around to glare at her.¡±Such a big girl doesn¡¯t even know how to wash her own school uniform?¡± ¡°Ah, didn¡¯t you say President Zuo instructed you? Do you want me to ask him to tell you about the school uniform?¡± ¡°How many sets do you want to wash?¡± The housekeeper¡¯s expression changed. I¡¯ll get it together later.¡± After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back, as if he was afraid that she would tell him about her underwear again. Anhao stood in front of the door and laughed out loud. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s visit was more or less useful, but she did not know how long she could use this privilege of being Mrs. Zuo. She clicked her tongue and turned around to return to the dormitory with a melancholic frown. Just as she was about to pick up her glass of water, her eyes suddenly widened and she leaned on the windowsill to look out. Downstairs in the female dormitory, Zuo Hancheng rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. He was holding Anhao¡¯s thermos bottle in his hand. He was passing by when he was surrounded by a group of girls in the blink of an eye. Anhao was speechless. Especially when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shirt and trousers, which made him look like a high-class elite in society, but in his hand was a white steel-colored water bottle. This scene was really strange and indescribable. More importantly, why hadn¡¯t he left yet? Just how shameless was he?! Yesterday, he could visit Rong Xue in the hospital and talk to the doctor with a concerned expression. Today, he could come here and pretend in front of her. In the end, he could still pretend so thoroughly! Did he not plan to leave when she was still asleep and simply went to the water room to fetch water for her? Hehehe, was there a need to act like such a considerate and good man? Anhao slammed the glass of water on the windowsill. When she saw the girls surrounding Zuo Hancheng and chattering away, her eyelids twitched. She had a feeling that these girls would not say anything nice in front of him.. Chapter 430 - Chapter 430: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (5) Chapter 430: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo, are you here to see Anhao? We¡¯re Anhao¡¯s classmates¡­¡± ¡± We¡¯ve always had a good relationship with Anhao. President Zuo, are you tired? Let¡¯s get you a thermos bottle¡­¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng avoided the girls ¡®outstretched hands without leaving a trace. At the same time, he glanced in the direction of Anhao¡¯s bedroom window. Anhao, who was grinding her teeth in front of the window, thought that Zuo Hancheng had noticed her and quickly squatted down. After squatting down, she felt that she was an idiot, so she stood up again and quietly looked outside. Zuo Hancheng was almost at the door of the dormitory. ¡® President Zuo, my father is the vice president of XX Company. I often hear him talking about you. My father also said that he will have a cooperation project with your Shengling Group in half a year, but I haven¡¯t had the chance to meet you in person. This is my father¡¯s business card. If you have time, give him a chance to meet you¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo, are you really married to Gu Anhao? Why did you marry her?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. President Zuo, do you have something you can¡¯t say? Otherwise, why would he marry a girl like Gu Anhao?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, why exactly? Gu Anhao doesn¡¯t deserve you at all, President Zuo¡­¡± ¡°We know her very well¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo, you might not know this, but Gu Anhao has a bad record in our school. Not only do the teachers and students in our school dislike her, but even many boys in our school are especially estranged from her because Gu Anhao doesn¡¯t look like a girl at all¡­¡¯ ¡°In the past, Anhao chased after the school hunk and scared him so much that he transferred schools.¡¯ ¡°Also, when Gu Anhao used to chase after the school hunk, not only did she often copy those love poems from abroad for him to read, but she also went to the male dormitory a few times to deliver breakfast to the school hunk with a box of buns. In the end, she was chased out by the dormitory manager of the male dormitory.¡± ¡® Hahaha, speaking of this, Mr. Zuo, you definitely wouldn¡¯t have thought that Gu Anhao actually went around the back of the boys ¡®dormitory and climbed to the window on the second floor from the back door. Because the school hunk lived on the second floor at that time, she leaned outside the window of the school hunk¡¯s dormitory and scared the school hunk who was studying inside half to death. He even thought that a ghost had entered the window¡­¡± ¡± At that time, she was still in her first year of high school. You definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to imagine the extent of Gu Anhao¡¯s wickedness. After that, no one in our school could control her. She would swagger in and out of the boys ¡®dormitory. Even after the school hunk transferred schools, Gu Anhao didn¡¯t restrain herself. She immediately changed her target and continued to pursue another good-looking boy¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo, what exactly do you like about a promiscuous girl like Gu Anhao? She has chased many boys in our school¡­¡± Anhao had already quietly opened the window to listen to what the girls were talking about downstairs, but she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained unchanged. He only raised his eyebrows occasionally when he heard the girls talking. The wind outside was too strong, and the place was a little far from the door. He couldn¡¯t hear the girls at all. He could only see a lot of girls surrounding him, saying something non-stop. Moreover, looking at the girls ¡®excited expressions, it was obvious that it was definitely not something good. Moreover, her nose was extremely itchy. Zuo Hancheng suddenly curled his lips coldly and ignored the girls. He retreated from the crowd and walked into the dormitory building. A group of girls followed him. There were a few girls behind him who were staring at his back with infatuated expressions. It was unknown what they were muttering, but Anhao could clearly see their small movements. I knew this man shouldn¡¯t be here¡­ He already had a face that could bring disaster to the country and people, and he still had a cold and aloof attitude. The little girls nowadays liked this kind of cold and aloof CEO setting. Wasn¡¯t this planning to make all the girls in A High fall out of love on the same day? This caused many girls ¡®hearts to fall to the ground. Anhao rested her chin on her hand as she leaned against the window. Her stomach was still hurting a little. The water in the cup was warm, so there was nothing wrong with Zuo Hancheng getting her some water. But now, whenever she thought about Rong Qian¡¯s words and the recent events, she had the urge to smash the kettle in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face. Hypocrite! Did she really think that just because she didn¡¯t say anything, it meant that she didn¡¯t know anything? Some people were asking about their ex-girlfriend¡¯s well-being, but at the same time, they were extremely considerate to her. Was Zuo Hancheng suffering from schizophrenia? She thought that Zuo Hancheng should be the one who needed to go to the hospital for a check-up. Anhao rolled her eyes at the crowd that had gradually dispersed. When she turned around, she suddenly heard the door open. She thought that Zuo Hancheng had returned and her body suddenly froze. However, when she turned around, she saw Chunchun and Huang Amao running in. ¡°Where did you two come from? I didn¡¯t see you downstairs just now.¡±Anhao glanced at them and was about to go back to her bed listlessly. ¡°We were in the dormitory building just now and heard those shameless classmates surrounding Zuo Hancheng and talking bad about you! ¡°Huang Amao muttered,¡± They even told you about the time when you were chasing after the school hunk. They even told you about how you gave him a bun and climbed out of his window. They even added fuel to the fire and made you sound like an idiot.. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I¡¯ve chased after all kinds of good-looking boys in the school. He already knew about it, so why would he need them to expose it?¡±¡± Chunchun ran to the bedside and tidied her hair, which had been messed up by the wind. She said,¡± Anyway, you should be careful. The two of us have been hiding inside listening just now. Zuo Hancheng has already come back. If you need our help in an emergency, just put the pillow vertically. We will definitely help you when we see it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t know that I have a bad record in school. What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Anhao was not afraid of Zuo Hancheng at all. He had already come to this point. At most, she would forget about her past love and break up with him. As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps came from outside. Of course, it was not Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps, but when the girls ¡®footsteps approached, Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng had already reached the door. Sure enough, the bedroom door was opened from the outside to the inside at the same time. The moment Zuo Hancheng entered the room, it was as if he could only see Anhao. In fact, he had already automatically ignored Chunchun and Huang Amao. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. The moment he closed the door to block the girls ¡®vision, she rolled her eyes and said,¡±¡±This is a female dormitory after all. It¡¯s broad daylight.. You should knock on the door before you come in, okay?¡± Chapter 431 - Chapter 431: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (6) Chapter 431: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (6) Translator: 549690339 As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Chunchun and Huang Amao changed their attitude of putting their lives on the line for their friend and said in unison,¡¯¡±¡®lt¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. We know that President Zuo is here today, so we don¡¯t even dare to take off our clothes. We don¡¯t mind if President Zuo comes and goes as he pleases!¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao immediately threw a glare at the two of them. Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched. She glanced at Chunchun, who shrugged. Even if the two of them had been fighting for justice for Anhao, if it were any other man, they would have long chased him out and not even given him a chance to enter their dormitory. However, this was Zuo Hancheng. It was fine if she scolded him behind his back, but it was better to protect herself in front of him. Zuo Hancheng only glanced at Anhao, but the moment Chunchun and Huang Amao finished speaking, he did not even look at her. He walked past her and placed the water bottle in front of the window. Seeing how he looked like a good man at home, Chunchun and Huang Amao did not know whether to stand, sit, leave, or stay. In the end, they simply shifted their gaze away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s exceptionally clean white shirt. The two of them sat on the bed and took out their Gomoku to play. He was not afraid of a god-like opponent, but he was afraid of a pig-like teammate! Anhao finally understood this sentence today! Especially when Zuo Hancheng finally regained his senses and looked at her, Anhao resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She could not show too much now, or he would definitely find out something was wrong when she went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday. ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± Zuo Hancheng said. She knew that he was asking if her stomach still hurt. Anhao was actually in quite a lot of pain, but it wasn¡¯t as painful as before she fell asleep. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. It¡¯s much better. I¡¯ll be fine after taking some medicine at night.¡±She said casually and turned around at the same time. She stacked the pillow and blanket on the bed vertically. When Huang Amao saw Anhao¡¯s signal, he suddenly said while playing Gomoku with Chunchun,¡¯¡±¡® Erm, Anhao, let¡¯s not go to that restaurant anymore. Every time we go, we¡¯ll get a stomachache, especially you. Every time we go, we¡¯ll collapse from diarrhea. If we go there a few more times, the three of us will probably lose our lives there¡­¡± Anhao continued, ¡± It¡¯s your fault for having bigger eyes and smaller stomachs. You always order a bunch of food but can¡¯t finish it in the end. Seeing so many dishes left makes you uncomfortable, so you have to eat more. In the end, I¡¯m not the one who¡¯ll be stuffed. The two of you only know how to make sarcastic remarks at the side!¡±¡± ¡°Anhao, what do you think of the new restaurant next to their house? Should we try it someday? It looks quite clean. I shouldn¡¯t have a stomachache again¡­ Chunchun added. Zuo Hancheng, who had obviously been ignored by the three girls, did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he saw a few books on the small bookshelf by the window. Anhao¡¯s name was on the books, so he picked them up casually. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not care about their tactful orders to leave, Anhao secretly gave them a look. She wanted them to continue talking so that Zuo Hancheng could not stand it anymore and leave quickly. However, when Chunchun saw the books that Zuo Hancheng had picked up, her face turned green and she shot Anhao a look as if she had choked. Anhao was a little puzzled. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng pick up the book she had placed on the small bookshelf and flip through it casually as if he was checking the research project she was doing. Chunchun¡¯s face was about to explode, but Anhao still had not reacted. When she finally remembered what was wrong with the books, the various erotic pictures and discs in the books fell out and landed on the ground beside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s feet. Anhao¡¯s neck instantly stiffened and she threw a pleading look at Chunchun. That was the book from last semester. She didn¡¯t come back to get it during the holidays. Anyway, she wasn¡¯t leaving school after graduation, and it was inconvenient for her to bring the things in the book home. Zuo Hancheng was staring at the unsightly pictures on the ground. Although his expression did not change, the veins on his forehead were clearly throbbing. Anhao was instantly petrified. Chunchun and Huang Amao secretly looked at her sympathetically. Those discs were filled with all kinds of erotic pictures and anime that she had copied from Chunchun! There were also many Japanese action movies¡­ In short, it was all the good stuff she had collected in the past three years of high school! There were all kinds of erotic pictures in the book. In the pictures, two beautiful and flirtatious men were naked and entangled together, doing something¡­ There were also some mangas that were lustful to a certain extent. Other than the complete BG and TL in the CD, most of these pictures were scenes of two men together that were lustful to a certain extent¡­ Zuo Hancheng had seen all of her carefully kept heart of a corrupt woman! The veins on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead were bulging, but he was restraining himself from criticizing her in front of her classmates. He only glanced at the unsightly picture of two naked men rolling around on the bed on the floor, then took out a book from the small bookshelf. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t¡­¡± This time, Anhao really jumped up and rushed forward, but she was in no hurry. Zuo Hancheng took out a hand-drawn picture from the book. It was still a picture of two men hugging each other and having sex. However, one of the male leads looked like Zuo Hancheng himself. When Anhao was first under the control of Zuo Hancheng, she secretly drew it every time she was forced to do her homework and papers in the study room. She imagined that Zuo Hancheng was a little girl who was being bullied by another man. Although Anhao was not proficient in anything, she was still slightly better at drawing than others, especially when she drew some solid lines and people. The lines that she outlined were very realistic. Otherwise, she would not have drawn the structural design of the second floor herself instead of borrowing the computer¡¯s ADC to draw. This was her little secret, a secret that only Chunchun and Huang Amao knew. However, it was the first time that Chunchun and Huang Amao had discovered a picture with Zuo Hancheng as the main character. The two men¡¯s mournful gazes on her became even more obvious. Zuo Hancheng was still looking at the picture that Anhao had drawn. Chunchun and Huang Amao felt that the atmosphere was not right and had already given up on cooperating with Anhao. They put away the messy black and white chess pieces on the bed, got out of bed, and fled the scene. ¡°Anhao, let¡¯s go have dinner. We¡¯ll be leaving first. When we come back, I¡¯ll bring you and President Zuo two servings.. Bye!¡± Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (7) Chapter 432: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (7) Translator: 549690339 The bedroom door was suddenly closed. Anhao still maintained her posture of wanting to grab the book, but now she stiffly took a step back and sat back on the bed as if nothing had happened. At the same time, he raised his hand and grabbed the broken remnant sea that wasn¡¯t too long on his forehead, as if he wanted to turn a big issue into a small one. However, Zuo Hancheng kept looking at the picture. He could tell that the person in the picture was himself. He did not say anything at first and continued to flip through the book. He found four pictures of the same person being pressed down on the bed and ravaged. The man in the picture changed one after another, and the expression on his face was very vivid. Suddenly, Anhao heard a chuckle from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side. She immediately looked up and saw that Zuo Hancheng was laughing out of anger. How angry must he be to laugh so terrifyingly? ¡°I was just casually practicing my brush strokes. The person in the painting definitely has nothing to do with you!¡±Anhao quickly explained. She couldn¡¯t be blamed for confessing, but the main thing was that they really looked alike. Zuo Hancheng folded the papers in his hands and was about to destroy them. At the same time, he glanced at Anhao¡¯s guilty expression.¡±¡±l was wondering why you kept your paws away. I thought you were obedient and restrained yourself. In the end, the little beasts in your heart roared out in another way.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± That was last semester. The poem says that yesterday¡¯s day cannot be left behind. You, Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t have to be calculative about what happened last semester or even last year. Otherwise, it will seem like you¡¯re especially unmagnanimous.¡± Zuo Hancheng was angered and laughed again. This time, it was obvious that he was snorting. His laughter was extremely cold. Anhao saw that he had thrown the books aside and was walking towards her. She saw him step on the pictures and discs on the ground. When she heard the sound of the discs cracking, her heart ached. All her treasures from the past three years¡­ She had carefully hidden it in the dormitory to avoid being discovered by him, but in the end, he still found it! ¡± You¡¯re destroying our dormitory¡¯s public finances¡­¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was approaching, Anhao shifted her butt towards the end of the bed. ¡± The things in this disc are no different from the messy things in your USB drive. Destroying this public property is to save the three of you rebellious girls.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± Anhao immediately made an expression as if she wanted to vomit. He even saved three rebellious girls. He couldn¡¯t even save her, and he still wanted to save Chunchun and Huang Amao! Since she had already been discovered, she was too lazy to argue. When she was discovered just now, she felt as if she had been skinned by Zuo Hancheng again. But now, as a true warrior who had to face everything, she suddenly felt that it was not a big deal. The moment Zuo Hancheng walked to the bedside, Anhao stood up and walked around him. She was about to pick up the fragments of the CD, books, and pictures on the floor. However, as soon as she walked around, Zuo Hancheng suddenly wrapped his arm around her chest. She paused and looked down to see his hand wrapped around her body, blocking her way. At the same time, his arm was blocking her chest. She did not know whether it was intentional or not. She immediately rolled her eyes at the direction of the window. ¡°Are you ignoring me?¡± Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had noticed that something was wrong with her mood. He stopped her and pushed her back to the front, not letting her pick up those broken things. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m ignoring you! You finally noticed?¡± Anhao raised her hand to push him away. In the end, Zuo Hancheng grabbed her hands and pulled her into his embrace. Just as Anhao was about to break free from his embrace, he looked down at her and said,¡±¡±The reason?¡± ¡°No reason!¡± Not to mention seeing him in the hospital yesterday, she still hadn¡¯t gotten an explanation for everything that had happened before, and she hadn¡¯t let go of it at all! If it was not for the fact that she did not want Rong Xue to enjoy the joy of success so easily, she would have broken up with him long ago! However, she could not say that she had never fallen out with Zuo Hancheng. Every time she wanted to quarrel and break off relations with him, he would find a way to make her stay by his side obediently, and every time, she would end up failing. Anhao tried to struggle again. Even though Zuo Hancheng did not use much strength, he managed to prevent her from struggling. She had just been sent to the hospital yesterday because of a stomachache. Although she had rested today, she had not eaten anything until now. She did not have much strength at all. Usually, she could not beat him, and now, she could not break free. In the end, she gave up struggling, but she twisted her body and refused to lean into his arms.¡± Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m warning you. If you continue to act like a hooligan in our female dormitory, our dormitory auntie will¡­¡± However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly remembered the scene where the dormitory auntie came over to help her change her blanket. It was as if the dormitory auntie, the existence that all the girls hated the most, was useless to Zuo Hancheng. Just as she was distracted, she was forced to lean against the bed because she kept retreating in his arms. The bedposts between the bunk beds in the dormitory were tall and sturdy. She suddenly realized that she had no way out. Just as she was about to push him away, Zuo Hancheng trapped her between the bedposts and her body. When Anhao glared at him with a dark expression, he lowered his eyes and approached her. She suddenly leaned back and tried to avoid it, but Zuo Hancheng was obviously going to be a hooligan to the end. He lowered his eyes and looked at the resistance in her eyes.¡±No matter how willful you are, you have to be responsible for your own health. I¡¯ll give you a few more days to go to the hospital.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes. She could only see her reflection in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s black eyes. However, she could not see anything else other than her own reflection. All of a sudden, Anhao¡¯s stomach made a sound. She immediately looked away awkwardly. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her angry but embarrassed expression. He suddenly put his arm around her waist and carried her to the bed beside him just as she was about to resist. The moment her butt touched the edge of the bed, Anhao shifted back uncomfortably. ¡°Hungry?¡± She secretly rolled her eyes and answered unwillingly, ¡°¡±Yes.¡± ¡°Do you want to eat out or at school?¡± ¡± I don¡¯t have the strength,¡± Anhao answered reluctantly.¡± I don¡¯t want to go out. I¡¯ll just eat some porridge in the school cafeteria.¡±¡® ¡°Alright.¡± Zuo Hancheng then wrapped the blanket around her body. As Anhao sat stiffly on the bed and looked at him, he took out his phone and made a call.. Chapter 433 - Chapter 433: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ‘Dormitory (8) Chapter 433: The Boss Arrives at the Girls ¡®Dormitory (8) Translator: 549690339 After the call went through, Zuo Hancheng instructed Lin Qing to buy some porridge and other food that was easy to digest. When he hung up the phone, Anhao asked in a daze,¡±¡±lt¡¯s almost dark now. Are you not going to leave tonight?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently, then his cold black eyes swept over the messy pictures and discs under the window sill. Seeing that he was looking in that direction again, Anhao simply snorted and laughed.¡±¡±Do you think my drawing skills are especially good?¡± ¡°The style is strange, in line with your crafty and rebellious personality last semester.¡±Zuo Hancheng replied indifferently and looked at her coldly at the same time.¡±¡±Just this once. Don¡¯t do it again.¡± He let her off just like that? Anhao didn¡¯t believe it and pointed in that direction.¡±¡±Can I not destroy those things¡­¡± It wasn¡¯t easy for him to not be able to draw it, but he could still be a little jealous if he had nothing to do. Zuo Hancheng immediately shot her a knife-like glare.¡±¡±You dare to stay?¡± Anhao raised her head and glared at him. In the end, she gave up and went over to pick up the things on the ground. She did not dare. She didn¡¯t dare to provoke Zuo Hancheng. What if he went to look through the books in her closet, her bag, and under her bed in a fit of anger, and found the diagnosis book that she had hidden? That would be the end of him! Anhao obediently squatted on the ground and picked up the things. As she picked them up, her heart was bleeding. She thought back to the time when she had felt great when she had drawn them. Seeing her drawing of Zuo Hancheng being pressed down on the bed by all kinds of men, that feeling was really sour and satisfying. Now, these treasures were going to be thrown into the trash can¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t let me see you enter the boys ¡®dormitory again.¡± Anhao was still reminiscing about her paintings when she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng throw a sentence at her. She turned around abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out with one hand in his pocket. Anhao stood up abruptly and stared at his back. She gritted her teeth, but when Zuo Hancheng seemed to have sensed her gaze and suddenly stopped, she quickly squatted down to continue picking up the pieces of the disc. When she turned around and saw that he had left, she stopped what she was doing and let out a long sigh. After sighing, she continued to pick up the blankets. She then looked up at the two new sets of blankets on Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s bed and sighed again. Rong Qian¡¯s words rang in her ears again. She had tried her best not to be affected by an outsider¡¯s words and not to fall out with him before she knew the truth. But was everything that had happened these days really a coincidence? Trust was suddenly like a knife in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable. The food that Lin Qing brought over was delicious. There was the lean meat porridge that Anhao wanted and some of her favorite dishes. Although they were light, they tasted delicious. In fact, Anhao had not eaten anything since last night, but she did not dare to say that she was hungry because she wanted to show that she had eaten too much last night. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng still knew to let her eat. Otherwise, she would not have dared to make this request. But why did she have to eat in the canteen downstairs when she could have eaten in the dormitory? At this moment, Anhao was sitting in the cafeteria of A High School. The table was filled with food that Lin Qing had specially sent over. All of them were delicious, but she couldn¡¯t eat so much. She ate a little of everything and couldn¡¯t bear to throw them away. However, she was really afraid that she would eat too much, so she didn¡¯t dare to eat too much. In the end, not only did Zuo Hancheng not help her eat, but he also had a bowl of instant noodles and a ham in front of him. Recalling how this noble Mr. CEO had said that he missed the instant noodles of A High School again just now, she wanted to poke his head open with her chopsticks to see if he had a brain cramp. He didn¡¯t eat any delicacies, but he liked the instant noodles in their school cafeteria! This was no different from those rich people who rarely ate cornbread and thought that this coarse grain was super delicious. In the end, he was still a man with a golden spoon in his mouth. A cup noodle could actually arouse his interest. Anhao secretly rolled her eyes at Zuo Hancheng as she ate. In the end, she could not eat anymore. However, when she saw so much delicious food, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up some meat. In the end, Zuo Hancheng put some vegetables in her bowl. ¡°What?¡± She was stunned. I can¡¯t eat anymore. I¡¯ll just eat some meat, but you still want me to eat vegetables in the last few mouthfuls?¡± ¡°Your growth needs to be balanced.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and then glanced at her chest as if he meant something. Anhao immediately lowered her head to look at her chest. The next moment, she looked up and said sarcastically,¡±¡±ls it not as big as some people¡¯s? This kind of small steamed bun can¡¯t satisfy your appetite?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°Not only did I eat gunpowder, but I also ate a bomb! ¡°Anhao threw her chopsticks aside and stopped eating. She stood up and was about to leave. As soon as she got up, she saw the girls who had been blocking the entrance of the cafeteria. It was the same few girls who had never been on good terms with her and had even badmouthed her in front of Zuo Hancheng. However, the expressions on their faces were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. Initially, they did not believe that Zuo Hancheng was really that good to Anhao. However, they saw Zuo Hancheng eating with Anhao with their own eyes. Moreover, this was not the first time he had eaten with her in the school cafeteria. This time, he even got someone to buy all kinds of delicious food from the hotel outside. The degree of love and pampering was really torturous to a group of single dogs. Anhao stopped in her tracks. She subconsciously understood why Zuo Hancheng wanted her to come down and eat. Since the group of girls in school who had a bad relationship with her were waiting to watch her show and find an opportunity to ridicule her, she might as well let reality slap them hard in the face. There was no need for Anhao to do it in the future. However, not only did Anhao not feel superior at all, she only glared at the group of gossips fiercely before turning around and running upstairs. In the dormitory, Anhao called Chunchun with her last hope. Zuo Hancheng probably wouldn¡¯t spend the night with her in school. After all, this was the girls ¡®dormitory. Moreover, if Chunchun and Huang Amao came back to stay, it would be barely acceptable for Zuo Hancheng to stay here during the day, but it would be inconvenient at night! In the end, when he called Chunchun, she was taking a bubble bath in the high-class suite of a seven-star hotel closest to the school. ¡± Anhao, you don¡¯t have to worry about us. President Zuo booked a super, super nice room for Huang Amao and me, and he even sent someone to order a super delicious French restaurant that just opened in A City for us. We¡¯re having our fill and taking a bath here, so we won¡¯t be going back tonight. If there¡¯s any misunderstanding between you and President Zuo, sit down and talk it out. Don¡¯t let anyone interfere.. Also, about the hospital checkup yesterday, are you really not going to tell President Zuo?¡± Chapter 434 - Chapter 434: Injury (1) Chapter 434: Injury (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡± And we both think that Zuo Dada is actually quite a loving person. Anhao, do you want to have a good chat with him? Don¡¯t be willful and impulsive. Also, don¡¯t you ever¡­¡± ¡°Damn it! Go eat your French cuisine!¡± Anhao immediately hung up. She thought that she could rely on the two of them at this time, but the first people who betrayed her were actually them! She was so angry! These two people did not come from some remote village. Each of them came from a wealthy family. They had actually been bribed by a luxurious suite and a big meal in a seven-star hotel! She was obviously helping Zuo Hancheng to take her back! It was not a small problem now, so how could they help Zuo Hancheng? If she had broken the window paper, she could have gone to the roof of the Gilded Scenic Garden right now. In the end, everyone was so heartless as if nothing had happened. Her life is so hard! Anhao turned around angrily and sat on her bed. She looked at her own dormitory and felt that there was no need to give Zuo Hancheng the chance to stay in her dormitory. If he really couldn¡¯t do it, he should go and ask the dormitory auntie for help! She had never felt that the strict dorm manager was so cute in her life! However, just as she stood up and was about to open the door, the bedroom door was pushed open. Zuo Hancheng walked in and glanced at her as if she was about to rush out.¡±Your school is closed at ten o¡¯clock at night. It¡¯s already nine o¡¯clock.¡± He even knew the time of the lockdown! Anhao immediately rolled her eyes and turned around to walk in. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly turned around and said,¡± You were talking to Lin Qing about the company, right? If you still have things to do at the company, you can go back to your work. I¡¯ll go home tomorrow night. You don¡¯t have to stay here with me¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing going on in the company today. It¡¯s just some sorted out data letters for me to see.¡±Zuo Hancheng walked in, but before he closed the door, he turned around and looked outside, as if he was looking for something. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t chase him away and that he was really determined to sleep in their female dormitory, Anhao asked in a bad mood,¡¯¡±¡®What are you looking for?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no private bathroom?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao almost choked on her own saliva. It was as if she had finally found a reason to chase him away. She immediately perked up and said, ¡°You can¡¯t enter the bathroom of our female dormitory. As an outsider, you definitely can¡¯t go to the male dormitory either, so you can¡¯t take a shower tonight. I remember that you seem to be a neat freak. If you don¡¯t take a shower, you won¡¯t be able to sleep well, so why don¡¯t you just go back¡­¡± ¡°When I was going upstairs, I heard someone talking about the school¡¯s public bathroom. Where is the public bathroom?¡±Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her and asked directly. Anhao looked at him in disbelief. ¡°¡±Duke¡­¡± She held it in for a long time before saying,¡±The public bathroom is dirty! You definitely won¡¯t be able to stand it!¡± Zuo Hancheng took her attitude seriously. He looked at the time and said, ¡°¡±1 need to take a bath before I seal the room. Are you sure you want to continue delaying? If I disrupt the lockdown time of your female dormitory, what will be the consequences?¡± Anhao¡¯s face twitched.¡¯ ¡°As far as I know, the environment of A High School, a private aristocratic high school, is not bad. Even the public bathroom has a private bathroom and various VIP facilities.¡±¡±Don¡¯t dawdle. Do you want me to go out and ask the others?¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± Anhao was helpless. She could only pull her head and say,¡±¡±lt¡¯s on the first floor of the logistics block C behind the teaching building¡­¡± He thought that Zuo Hancheng could leave, but he still stood there like a Buddha. Anhao looked up at him impatiently, but she heard Zuo Hancheng say,¡¯¡±¡®With what?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at the fluorescent lights in the dormitory and walked up quickly. She took out her own basin, towel, soap, shower gel, shampoo, and other things from her closet. She placed everything in the basin and stuffed it heavily in front of Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Then, it¡¯s all here! They are all my things! It¡¯s also the only bath product you can use in the entire dormitory. If you don¡¯t like it, throw it away. If you don¡¯t, take it and use it!¡±After Anhao finished speaking, she turned around and sat on the bed angrily. Her lungs were about to explode. He actually wanted to sleep here in such difficult conditions! Did she want to come down and experience the days of these poor students? Crazy! However, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the white basin that she had stuffed into his arms. There were indeed all kinds of bath products in the basin, but it was probably the first time in his life that he had experienced the hardships of Chinese students bathing in groups. After looking at the things in the basin, he did not seem to mind at all. He unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt with one hand and left with the basin in the other. Anhao saw how he was casually undoing the buttons and really wanted to rush up and warn him not to flirt here. Even if he only undid a few buttons, there would be a group of girls lying on the door and staring at him like wolves and tigers. The girls in his school were hungry wolves. He would probably be dragged away and skinned alive by a group of girls on his way back after washing up. He actually dared to make such a seductive move here. He had underestimated the lust of high school girls! However, when she saw Zuo Hancheng leave with her basin, Anhao was stunned for a moment. Then how was she going to bathe? Last night, she was drenched in the rain and sweaty. After she came back, she did not have the chance to take a shower. Her body was sticky and uncomfortable the whole day. In the end, she could only take out a spare shower gel that had not been opened from the cupboard. Then, she went to Chunchun¡¯s cupboard and took out a new towel to borrow. Taking advantage of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s absence, she ran to the bathroom in the female dormitory to take a simple shower. In fact, the conditions of their school were really good. After all, it was the best high school in A High School. Moreover, it was a private high school, which was equivalent to an elite school. However, Zuo Hancheng could not squeeze into the VIP private room in the public bathroom. A group of young masters from the school queued up to take a shower in the VIP room every day. By the time Zuo Hancheng queued up and took a shower, he would have already been sealed off. At 10 pm, it was time to close the female dormitory. At the thought that Zuo Hancheng would be completely rejected, Anhao lay down on her little bed happily. As soon as she lay down, she saw Zuo Hancheng walk in. His black hair was still wet, and he looked refreshed. It was obvious that he had just come back from the shower. She sat up in surprise..¡± Chapter 435 - Chapter 435: Injury (2) Chapter 435: Injury (2) Translator: 549690339 She sat up in surprise.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her as he closed the door.¡±¡±Coincidentally, the son of a business partner friend was inside, so he gave up the VIP room.¡± Anhao was really about to lose her breath! Zuo Hancheng was really successful wherever he went! Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had just returned from a comfortable shower, Anhao hugged her pillow and looked at the empty bed next to her unwillingly.¡±¡±lf you really plan to stay here tonight, then you can sleep there. Anyway, Chunchun and Huang Amao have new quilts sent by the dormitory auntie today. It just so happens that the two of them haven¡¯t used them yet. You can use them first. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll apply for a new set from the dormitory auntie.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not object. He casually rolled up his sleeves and watched as the exquisite and expensive buttons on the cuffs were rolled into his sleeves. Anhao felt that it was a little too strange to be in the same room as Zuo Hancheng in the female dormitory. Even though they had been married for so long, they were still at home and in the female dormitory. She even suspected that there might be a few girls lying outside the door, ready to eavesdrop. However, Zuo Hancheng did not feel as awkward as she did. Seeing her curled up on the bed with a pillow and staring at her with a guarded expression, he smiled and said, ¡®¡±My mom is waiting for you at home every day. In the end, you¡¯d rather stay at school and eat takeout than go home.¡± Speaking of Xu Yuan, Anhao felt a little guilty. After all, such a good mother-in-law was really rare. However, she was already struggling to deal with Zuo Hancheng. If she were to face Xu Yuan¡¯s warm and thoughtful care, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back and vent all her emotions. ¡°I¡¯ll go back when my stomach doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. Otherwise, she¡¯ll be worried.¡±Anhao said vaguely, then she hugged the pillow and fell on the bed. She stuffed the pillow under her head and turned her back to Zuo Hancheng.¡±l¡¯m going to sleep. There are still 15 minutes before the lights in our dormitory are turned off. If you¡¯re not used to it, there¡¯s a small lamp in Huang Amao¡¯s cabinet.¡± After saying that, she pulled the blanket by her legs and covered her head. There was no sound behind him. Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have any intention of going to Chunchun and Huang Amao¡¯s bed to get the two new sets of blankets, nor did he go to get the small lamp and computer. Anhao didn¡¯t move under the blanket and silently counted the time. She just wanted to wait for a few minutes before the lights in the dormitory were turned off so that she wouldn¡¯t have to hide her emotions in the dark. Even though Zuo Hancheng did not make a sound, Anhao could still feel the gaze from behind her through the blanket. She had just heaved a sigh of relief when the lights in the dormitory were switched off when she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng getting up and approaching her. She tensed up and subconsciously wanted to wrap the blanket tightly around her body. However, the blanket was lifted up by him in the next moment. Just as Anhao was about to get up, Zuo Hancheng laid down beside her and held her down, pulling her into his arms. ¡°There¡¯s clearly an empty bed in the dormitory. Isn¡¯t it perfect for you to take a new blanket and sleep there? Why are you sharing a bed with me?¡± ¡°My wife is right beside me, so of course I have to sleep with her.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was as calm as a meal. Anhao could not help but roll her eyes in the darkness. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you coaxed me to sleep during the day. It¡¯s already so late now, and it¡¯s only around ten o¡¯clock. If we wait until dawn, it¡¯ll be a few hours. It¡¯s so uncomfortable for the two of us to squeeze into a single bed like this. You should go to that empty bed¡­¡± This was not their home. Zuo Hancheng could not possibly do anything to her in a place like the girls ¡®dormitory, right? Anhao quickly reached out to push him behind her and whispered, ¡±This is our school¡¯s dormitory. Physical contact between men and women is prohibited! Go back to the empty bed and sleep!¡± However, just as she pushed her hand back, Zuo Hancheng suddenly grabbed her hand. He held her hand with one hand and held her stiff body with the other. With just the strength of one hand, she was turned over and had no choice but to face him. Anhao resisted and wanted to turn away, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her cheek at the same time.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng! Can you pay attention to your image! You touched a female student in a high school dormitory. Do you have any shame?¡± Zuo Hancheng was really shameless to the extreme. Anhao quickly raised her hand to push him away.¡±My stomach hurts!¡± Zuo Hancheng paused and moved the weight on her stomach away. He then pulled Anhao into his arms and kissed her gently on her hair. Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to be serious, Anhao carefully turned her head away and whispered,¡±¡±Beast.¡± ¡°You said I¡¯m a beast?¡± Anhao¡¯s body tensed up in the darkness as she raised her eyes and glared at him fiercely. Zuo Hancheng smiled and kissed her ear..¡±¡±How many days have I not touched you? He actually called me a beast? Hmm?¡± Chapter 436 - Chapter 436: Injury (3) Chapter 436: Injury (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°How many days have I not touched you? He actually called me a beast? Hmm?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was so sexy and hoarse that it made one¡¯s heart flutter. Anhao, on the other hand, resisted this bastard¡¯s teasing. After being with him for so long, she knew how good Zuo Hancheng was at flirting in bed. How many times had she been angry, but he had used this method of sleeping with her again and again to temporarily ignore her! What a brilliant method! This time, she suppressed the surging emotions in her heart that were stirred up by him. She stubbornly resisted his kiss and his hand.¡±l haven¡¯t been feeling well recently. If you still touch me under such circumstances, it means that you¡¯re not a beast!¡± ¡°Then should I treat you like a beast? Or should it be a beast?¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled meaningfully. Even though it was very dark in the dormitory, the moonlight that shone through the window still allowed her to see the smile on his lips. Anhao realized that she had misspoken and was about to push him away and sit up. However, just as she was about to get up, Zuo Hancheng held her back firmly.¡±Alright, stop fooling around. Go to sleep.¡± She rolled her eyes at him.¡± Zuo Hancheng would not do anything to her here, but he obviously did not agree with the idea of sleeping on the empty bed. He ignored Anhao¡¯s suggestion and just hugged her without moving. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, how can you be so shameless?¡±Anhao finally blurted out her feelings today. ¡°Hugging your wife to sleep is shameless?¡± Anhao choked. This is not your place! How can you hug me to sleep here and look so calm? I¡¯m still a student, Zuo Hancheng was silent for a moment, but he had no intention of going to the other bed to sleep. Instead, when Anhao resisted him again, he hugged her tightly and kissed her by her ear. When she trembled from the kiss again and wanted to turn her head away, he whispered in her ear, ¡®¡±¡® What¡¯s so difficult about wanting A to be high and belonging to you? Do you want me to be your honorary principal or an investor in the school?¡± Anhao closed her eyes. F * ck! The raging anger in her heart was spreading out bit by bit. She did not know if it was because she had been with Zuo Hancheng for a long time that her temper could be forcibly restrained to such an extent! In the end, she was so angry that she laughed. She raised her hand and pinched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm fiercely. At the same time, she scratched hard with her nails. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her in pain. He did not know why she suddenly showed her cat claws and the fierce expression in her eyes. Anhao suddenly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried hard not to laugh so coldly. She only whispered, ¡°I¡¯m sleepy.¡± However, in the darkness, she could still feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze on her. Although he did not say anything or ask her anything, she knew that it was not difficult for someone like Zuo Hancheng to notice the change in her mood. Anhao still had her eyes closed and didn¡¯t move, as if she didn¡¯t know that he was looking at her in the dark. She turned around in his arms and wanted to hide. However, just as she was about to withdraw from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace, the arm that she had avoided suddenly pulled her back. Anhao secretly gritted her teeth and wanted to turn around and shout,¡± Don¡¯t you f * cking touch me! She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and clenched her fists tightly. Just as her nails were about to dig into her palm, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand seemed to have sensed it. Just as she was about to dig her nails into her palm, he grabbed her hand and pried her fingers apart one by one. Anhao had nowhere to vent her anger. In the end, she could only shake his hand off forcefully. However, he held her hand forcefully again. In the next moment, her body was turned around by him again. However, when he was looking at her, she suddenly buried her face in his arms , unwilling to look up. She only used this method to avoid his gaze and said ,¡±l¡¯m sleeping, ¡°¡±l¡¯m going to be a. Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at Anhao, who suddenly snuggled into his embrace. She looked intimate but was stiff and motionless. He slowly raised his hand and stroked her head comfortingly. ¡°Anhao?¡± Because she did not know what the truth was, Anhao did not know whether she should question him or throw a tantrum. When she heard his voice, she curled up in his arms and begged, ¡®¡±¡®1 want to sleep¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her back and patted it.¡±¡±Alright, go to sleep.¡± Early the next morning, Zuo Hancheng received a phone call and left immediately. Before he left, he pulled Anhao¡¯s blanket up. However, Anhao had already woken up when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone vibrated. She only opened her eyes quietly when he left the dormitory. After confirming that he had really left, she sat up quietly. She looked down at the blanket on her body and then at the time. 5:30 AM. Even if Zuo Hancheng went to work, he would not wake up so early. His clock had always been six in the morning and he would leave at seven or eight. It was only 5:30 pm, and A High was between Shengling Group and Liu Jing Garden. They definitely wouldn¡¯t leave early just to hurry. Where are you going to leave so early? She did not hear who the caller was. Zuo Hancheng did not say much when he answered the call. He only said that he would be there in half an hour and hung up. Anhao suddenly got off the bed and ran to the window to open it. However, she could no longer see him. At seven o¡¯clock, Chunchun and Huang Amao bid farewell to the luxurious hotel suite that was so comfortable that they wanted to stay in it for the rest of their lives. When they returned to the dormitory, they saw Anhao sitting there with a listless look on her face. Huang Amao immediately gave Chunchun a look and whispered,¡±¡±Hey, do you think President Zuo stayed here last night? Did the two of them mess around in the dormitory for the whole night? Look at Anhao¡¯s expression, she looks like she¡¯s sleeping. It¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s been fighting for hundreds of rounds tonight. I wonder if the students from the two dorms next to her heard anything¡­ At the same time, Chunchun gave Anhao a flirtatious look.¡±¡±Was it exciting to do that with President Zuo in the dormitory?¡± Anhao, who was still in a daze after waking up for more than an hour, suddenly threw a disdainful look at the two of them.¡±The two of you still have the nerve to say that. You said that you would help each other. A restaurant and a western meal were bought over! You guys are too unreliable!¡± ¡°Aiya, Anhao, don¡¯t change the topic. Tell me, did you reconcile with President Zuo last night? The small bed in our dormitory can¡¯t withstand the two of you!¡± Anhao suddenly threw a pillow at him..¡±¡±Get lost! I¡¯m physically disabled but not mentally disabled! He didn¡¯t do anything last night! Stop guessing!¡± Chapter 437 - Chapter 437: Injury (4) Chapter 437: Injury (4) Translator: 549690339 In less than two days, Anhao was back to her usual energetic self. She went home as usual, acted coquettishly in front of Xu Yuan, called Zuo Hancheng hubby as usual, and went to school as usual. However, even though everything looked so ordinary, there was something unusual about it. The black-bellied Zuo Hancheng had actually started to realize that he could no longer see through Gu Anhao. Recently, the school was celebrating its anniversary. All the students were busy rehearsing for the school¡¯s anniversary program, but Anhao was still doing her own thing. She left Chunchun and Huang Amao at school and went out alone. In the morning, Zuo Hancheng had said that he would take her to a charity dinner organized by a certain company to relax. However, she did not see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car after walking around the school gate. From afar, she saw a Buick parked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s favorite spot. She looked around and finally confirmed that the car might be related to Zuo Hancheng before walking over. As soon as she got close, the window of the Buick rolled down. It was Zuo Hancheng in the car! Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was calm and composed in the car, and then looked at the Buick in front of her, which was worth at most 200,000 yuan. She said with a different expression,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, are you bankrupt?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain and gestured for her to get into the car. Anhao took a closer look at the Buick in front of her to make sure that her eyes were not playing tricks on her. She opened the door and sat in the car, thinking about how she should say something that would not hurt the heart of a man who had just gone bankrupt. Before she could speak, Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that sitting in a Bentley to and from school all day is too easy to be hated? In order to cooperate with you, I specially changed to a Buick to send you to school.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao was instantly confused. ¡°Buicks are also very hateful, okay? This is a high-end model. Although there are many rich kids in A High School and there are many Audis, BMs, and Mercedes-Benz parked outside the school, your license plate is already better than all the Audis, BMs, and Mercedes-Benz, okay?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. Then I¡¯ll pay attention next time and change the license plate.¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡±¡±Why are you suddenly so nice to me? Is there a conspiracy?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly.¡±¡±When have I not treated you well?¡± Just as Anhao was about to say something, a Ferrari suddenly sped past them with an extremely arrogant momentum. The speed at which it overtook them and its almost racing attitude made Anhao look out in surprise. The moment she saw the Ferrari, her mouth twitched. Ever since Rong Qian sent her to the hospital last time, he had not come to school for the next few days. There was no sign of him or his car inside or outside A High School. Why did he suddenly appear today and suddenly overtake her with such an arrogant attitude? Of course, Zuo Hancheng saw the Ferrari before she did, but he had no intention of racing with it. He only glanced at the car and said in a deep voice, ¡®¡±¡®The Rong family has been planning to expand their business in China in recent years. As the only heir of the Rong family, Rong Qian was forced to be sent to China to familiarize himself with China¡¯s education and various aspects of the environment. I didn¡¯t expect them to choose A High School.¡± Anhao paused for a moment before she turned her head abruptly. ¡°You know him?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He only looked at the Ferrari that had already left. His eyes were clear and his voice was a little cold.¡±Don¡¯t get too close to him.¡± Anhao was speechless. Did Zuo Hancheng already know that Rong Qian was here and that he would approach her with ill intentions? What else did Zuo Hancheng not know? She did not know how long she could hide the results of her previous examination in the hospital. She could ignore Rong Qian¡¯s matter for the time being. She could ignore everything else for the time being. In short, she should focus on her studies first and deal with the college entrance examination first. The so-called charity banquet was just a place where a newly listed company hosted a banquet for famous people in the industry. It was a banquet held in the name of charitable donations. No wonder Zuo Hancheng said that he was bringing her out to relax. There was no one from the Gu family, the Yi family, or the Qi family present tonight. None of them made her feel uncomfortable. Instead, Zuo Hancheng generously introduced her to his friends in the industry. She did not know when Anhao had become Mrs. Zuo¡¯s wife. When she faced the blessings of those people, Anhao felt that although she did not fully understand Zuo Hanchenz¡¯s world, his kindness and indulzence towards her were so obvious. The human heart could not be wrong. This place was clearly permeated with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s feelings for her. Love. However, was it really love? There were a few times when Anhao picked up her glass of red wine and slowly sipped on it. When she saw those corporate giants that she felt unfamiliar with smiling and greeting Zuo Hancheng, she would secretly look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. She only felt that he was standing very close to her, so close that she only needed to gently raise her hand to put it in his palm. However, there were too many uncertainties. This uncertainty should only be temporary¡­ She would think about it after she finished her college entrance examination. Wait, wait until she finished her college entrance examination¡­lt was just that there were still more than three months left¡­ Anhao thought that her life would be peaceful for another three months. She thought that as long as she passed the college entrance examination, she would be able to prepare for another leap in her life. Then, she would consider her life, her love, and her marriage. Everything would be in time. However, she had never expected that life could be so melodramatic. It was so melodramatic that she was caught off guard and welcomed all the reunions. It was the school anniversary this weekend. No matter how unwilling Anhao was to attend the program, the teacher still arranged for her to give a voice-over during the students ¡®performance because of the overly grand identity of Mrs. Zuo. It was already past ten o¡¯clock in the morning after the rehearsal in the school auditorium. As the rehearsal time was uncertain for the next two days, she had already told Zuo Hancheng that she did not need to pick her up, nor did she need to arrange for someone else to pick her up. If she left school early, she would go home. If it was too late, she would stay in school. It was so quiet outside that there weren¡¯t many cars on the road. After all, it was raining outside. Anhao remembered that Xu Yuan said that she would return to the United States in a week. She felt bad that she hadn¡¯t spent much time with Xu Yuan, so she wanted to spend a few more days with her before she returned to the country. Hence, Anhao decided to go outside the school gate with an umbrella, intending to hail a taxi back to Liujing Garden.. Chapter 438 - Chapter 438: Injury (5) Chapter 438: Injury (5) Translator: 549690339 In the end, the flashy Ferrari suddenly drove in front of her and stopped. Seeing Rong Qian¡¯s face appear when the car window rolled down, Anhao turned her face away expressionlessly and looked at the taxi in front of her. ¡°It¡¯s already so late, and you still want to go back?¡± Rong Qian put one hand on the window and snorted at her. Anhao¡¯s gaze was very indifferent. She looked at him coldly and indifferently.¡±Mind your own business!¡± ¡°Fine, Grandpa can¡¯t be bothered to meddle in your business, but there¡¯s a very interesting place tonight. I was planning to bring you to see it. Do you want to go and see it together?¡±Rong Qian¡¯s lips curved into a smile as if he was waiting for her to take the bait. Anhao ignored his malicious attitude and walked around his car to the front. She raised her hand and was about to flag down the taxi that was passing by. When the taxi stopped in front of her, Rong Qian suddenly rolled down the window and looked in the direction of the taxi. His voice was a little cold.¡±She¡¯s your grandfather¡¯s girlfriend. How dare you?¡± Anhao widened her eyes and turned to glare at Rong Qian. The driver looked at Anhao and then at the Ferrari in confusion, then drove away. ¡°Ah, hey, not his girlfriend! I have nothing to do with him! Hey!¡± Seeing that the taxi had really driven away, Anhao immediately rushed forward and shouted at the car. In the end, she ate a mouthful of car exhaust. She was so angry that she suddenly turned around to look at Rong Qian in the car. Seeing his smug smile, she suddenly walked over and kicked his tire.¡±Are you crazy? Am I bothering you by taking a taxi home? Why would I bother you Rong people when I¡¯m just going home? Do you know how hard it is to take a taxi at this late hour?¡± Rong Qian smiled and shrugged.¡±l don¡¯t know much about the traffic here. I haven¡¯t taken a taxi at night.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°You haven¡¯t taken a taxi before, so why did you come out and harm someone?¡±Ann kicked his tire again. ¡°Your whole family is crazy!¡± After saying that, she rolled her eyes angrily and turned to leave. Rong Qian smiled and said, ¡°Gu Anhao, there¡¯s really a good show tonight. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to go?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. After all, anything that was related to the Rong family was definitely not good. ¡°My sister was discharged from the hospital today. Tiansheng Entertainment organized a party for her. Many people in and out of the industry were invited to attend the party, including your husband, Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around. Zuo Hancheng had never had a good impression of Tian Sheng. Moreover, since it was about the entertainment industry and he had invited many people from both the industry and the outside world, he would never go. Therefore, whether Rong Qian¡¯s words were credible or not, he did not need to be affected by Rong Qian¡¯s words. Seeing that Anhao was determined to continue hailing a taxi, Rong Qian calmly drove the car beside her.¡±¡±lt¡¯s not safe for you to take a taxi alone at this time. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to take my car?¡± ¡°It¡¯s even more unsafe to take your car!¡± Anhao continued to look ahead expressionlessly. Even if she couldn¡¯t get an empty car, she could at least get one. However, the truth was that she had waited by the roadside for ten minutes. As expected, there were no cars on the way for her to share, and there were no more empty cars. Rong Qian parked the car next to her. His patience was like a little boyfriend who was sincerely apologizing after quarreling with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, this kid had never had good intentions and never wanted to make her feel comfortable! Forget it, she could just go back to the dormitory! Anhao suddenly turned around and was about to head back to A High School. Seeing her turn around and walk back, Rong Qian got out of the car, slammed the door, and walked towards her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his car without saying a word. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Anhao tried to shake him off as if she had been electrocuted. Rong Qian suddenly turned around and looked at her coldly.¡±¡±lt¡¯s good for you, him, and my sister to see the truth sooner. You know where I¡¯m taking you, but you refuse to follow me. Gu Anhao, how scared are you? How much did you not trust Zuo Hancheng? Hmm?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze and she immediately swung him again. However, Rong Qian grabbed her wrist tightly and forcefully pulled her to the side of the car. She raised her hand and was about to slap him in the face.¡±Bastard, take your hands off me!¡± Before her hand could hit him, Rong Qian nimbly dodged her slap and pushed her into the car. Just as Anhao was about to get out of the car, he suddenly leaned over and pressed her, forcing her to step back a little. Anhao glared at him with an ugly expression.¡±l won¡¯t go anywhere with you, and I won¡¯t let you take me to watch any good show! Rong Qian, let me tell you, even if I, Gu Anhao, divorce Zuo Hancheng one day, it will definitely not be because I fell into your trap! I have blood, flesh, and feelings. Whether I love or not, I will experience it myself. I don¡¯t need you to add fuel to the fire in my emotional world and try to force me! I, Gu Anhao, am not as weak as you think!¡± Facing Anhao¡¯s sudden words, Rong Qian¡¯s expression gradually turned cold. He sneered and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Grandpa doesn¡¯t have that much time to defeat you. I said I¡¯ll bring you to watch a good show, so I¡¯m going to watch a good show. My cruelty only helped you shorten the time you spent deceiving yourself. ¡± Anhao glared at him coldly.¡± Rong Qian curled his lips and suddenly smiled a little evilly. His hand fell on her shoulder. Anhao frowned awkwardly because of his touch and at the same time, she made a formal posture to fight him. He suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear,¡±No matter where Zuo Hancheng is or what he is doing, you don¡¯t care at all, right?¡± ¡°At least it¡¯s not up to an outsider like you to care, right?¡±Anhao¡¯s eyes were still cold, and she did not seem to be frightened by his words. She only snorted and said, You¡¯re meddling in other people¡¯s business. The more you Rong family members behave like this, the more I feel that I can¡¯t let go of you so easily. If Zuo Hancheng was not someone that you¡¯ve spent so much effort to get, you wouldn¡¯t have even mobilized your friends and family. Who thought of such a despicable method? Was it Rong Xue? Heh, it¡¯s really too low¡­¡± Rong Qian¡¯s hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened.¡±¡±Still pretending?¡± ¡°Pretend your sister! Your thoughts are not as easy to control as you think. Your attempt to defeat me will only make me hate you more and guard against you more thoroughly. Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re the only smart person in the world and that you¡¯re the only one who can scheme. I, Gu Anhao, am not lucky to be alive today. At least I still have a brain!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Anhao suddenly looked down at his hand on her shoulder and said coldly,¡±¡±This is my last warning! Take your hands off me!¡± Chapter 439 - Chapter 439: Injury (6) Chapter 439: Injury (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°This is my last warning! Take your hands off me!¡± As soon as Anhao finished her sentence and was about to attack, Rong Qian seemed to have guessed her next move in advance and directly locked her wrist with his backhand. When Anhao suddenly looked up in surprise, he lowered his head and sneered in her ear, ¡°This is also my last warning. Follow me obediently. This is such a good show.¡± Anhao¡¯s wrist was in extreme pain from his grip. At this moment, she seemed to have realized what Rong Qian meant by sparring with her in the physical class. He had already guessed her every movement and habit of resistance. She suddenly gritted her teeth and was about to shake off his hand, but Rong Qian had once again guessed her action in advance. He quickly grabbed her hands and pressed her wrists heavily on her side. He lowered his head and approached her. Anhao was forced to lean back. This ambiguous and intimate action made her eyes full of frost. Rong Qian¡¯s lips almost touched the tip of her nose and he laughed softly.¡±This is a good show specially prepared for you. If you don¡¯t go, how can I let it go? Are you sure you want to stay here until dawn? It¡¯s going to rain today. If you delay any longer, you won¡¯t even be able to go back to A High.¡¯ Anhao took a deep breath and instinctively felt that the drama he was talking about was definitely not a good thing. She instinctively resisted, but she really couldn¡¯t break free! In the end, he could only grit his teeth.¡±As he said that, he turned his head away to prevent this kid from taking advantage of him. ¡°Tsk, what era is it now? Grandpa didn¡¯t do anything to you, so why are you acting like a chaste woman?¡± As he spoke, Rong Qian sneered and patted her face gently.¡±¡± You¡¯re staying here to protect yourself, but it doesn¡¯t mean that Zuo Hancheng is the same as you. The show has already begun at this time. It would be a pity if you were to delay any longer¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door on Anhao¡¯s side, turned around, opened the door, and sat in the car. He started the engine. The Ferrari drove away before the heavy rain, but Anhao sat stiffly in the car, her mind filled with Rong Qian¡¯s words. You¡¯re staying clean here, but Zuo Hancheng might not be like you.. What did he mean? In her impression, Zuo Hancheng was clearly a cold and abstinent god. The Zuo Hancheng she was familiar with was clearly not a man without principles. What kind of show was Rong Qian taking her to see? Was she going to see it? Should she go and watch? What if it was a conspiracy? She just wanted to pass the college entrance examination in peace. She did not want to delay her future because of these relationship problems and all kinds of conflicts. She only remembered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s advice that she had to be responsible for her own life and herself. It was just that there were still three months before the college entrance examination. Couldn¡¯t he give her the last bit of peace? Anhao held her bag tightly. As the car sped along the road, she suddenly reached out to open the car door. Rong Qian was so shocked by her action that he suddenly braked and locked all the doors on the main control button. He stopped her from jumping out of the car at such a high speed and scolded,¡±Gu Anhao, do you f * cking want to die?¡± ¡°Let me off! I¡¯m not going with you!¡± Anhao forcefully pulled the car door twice. After failing, she turned and glared at him.¡±Let me out of the car!¡± Rong Qian¡¯s expression was ugly. At the same time, he turned to look at the road ahead. Seeing that she really did not want to live anymore, she had already started to rummage through her bag and tried to smash the window. He immediately turned the car around and was about to stop the car by the roadside. However, the moment they braked, two black limousines suddenly sped in their direction and stood in front of them. At the same time, Anhao saw the strange situation on the road in the middle of the night. She realized that the two cars were deliberately avoiding Rong Qian¡¯s car. She immediately frowned.¡± What the hell are you doing?!¡± ¡°Fu-ck!¡±Rong Qian was blocked by the two cars. He stopped the car and knocked on the steering wheel. Seeing that he had stopped the car, Anhao went to pull the car door open.¡±¡±Open the door and let me down!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go down!¡± Rong Qian¡¯s attitude changed. He looked outside with an ugly expression and warned her. Anhao paused and realized that something was wrong with Rong Qian¡¯s voice. She turned around and saw that his expression was ugly and he was looking at the two cars outside coldly. She suddenly said in surprise,¡±Could it be that you offended someone and were intercepted by your arch-enemy in the middle of the night?¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t say anything. He just rolled his eyes in the direction of the outside. Therefore, she had guessed correctly! F * ck! Did he have to be so unlucky? He got into the car of his archenemy, and in the end, his archenemy met his archenemy! Could the people in the two cars outside help her? Could he stand on her side and educate Rong Qian, this bastard? Obviously¡­ It was unlikely. When she saw the men in the two cars suddenly pull out sticks that were more than a meter long and walk towards her, Anhao immediately gritted her teeth.¡±¡±You bastard, you bastard who killed someone! What should he do now? Aren¡¯t we going to watch a good show? Are you bringing me to my death?¡± Rong Qian¡¯s mouth twitched and he glanced at her.¡±¡±Scared?¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? I want to get out of the car now! Can they let me go?¡± Rong Qian snorted.¡± They are famous gangsters in A City, but they are not very good at it. They don¡¯t know the rules. If they know that you are Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife, they will kidnap you and ask your husband for tens of millions of cash.¡±¡® Anhao instantly heaved a sigh of relief.¡± So you want me to die with you now?¡±¡± Rong Qian laughed.¡± You have two choices. You either hit them or get out of the car and beat them up. Aren¡¯t you good at fighting?¡± I¡¯ll leave the three skinny ones in front to you, and I¡¯ll take care of the muscular ones.¡± ¡°Who told you I was going to help you fight?¡±Anhao opened the car door expressionlessly. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Rong Qian immediately frowned, and his eyebrows twitched even more when he saw her nimble movements when she got out of the car. ¡°The enemy of my enemy is probably my friend. I¡¯ll go negotiate with them!¡±Anhao slammed the car door shut and walked straight ahead. Rong Qian¡¯s face stiffened, and he frowned as he got out of the car.¡±¡±Gu Anhao! Get the f * Ck back here! Stop!¡± However¡­ Twenty minutes later¡­ Anhao¡¯s hands and feet were tied up. She sat in a damp and dark corner of the street. She turned around and looked at Rong Qian, whose face was bruised and swollen. He spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. She gritted her teeth in hatred. The few burly men in front of her took Rong Qian¡¯s phone and found Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number. After dialing it, they forced it into Anhao¡¯s ear. ¡°Remember to cry harder after the call is connected.. If we don¡¯t get 30 million yuan in two hours, neither of you can live!¡± Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Injury (7) Chapter 440: Injury (7) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was still wondering how Rong Qian had gotten Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number. However, after the call was dialed, she glanced at the phone beside her ear and saw that the number was accurate. She looked at Rong Qian again in bafflement. At the same time, Rong Qian also glanced at Anhao, who was also injured. Seeing her probing eyes on him, he immediately rolled his eyes at her.¡±Just let him save you. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth suddenly twitched.¡± You¡¯re so full of yourself, I didn¡¯t plan to control you!¡± It¡¯s all thanks to you that I was inexplicably kidnapped here! Bastard!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a call getting through. Ignoring Rong Qian¡¯s face that was as black as a pot lid, Anhao¡¯s heart was filled with mixed feelings. Was she really going to let Zuo Hancheng use the ransom to save her? These men were too good at fighting. She and Rong Qian had fought with them for a long time, but they could not break out of the encirclement. In the end, the two of them were exhausted and pressed down here. If Zuo Hancheng saw this miserable situation, he did not know what would happen! The phone rang for seven to eight times before it was finally picked up. Anhao¡¯s heart was lifted high. ¡°Hello?¡± The moment she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice over the phone, Anhao took a deep breath. Should she ask him to ignore her and call the police, or should she ask him to save her with money? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s money was also her money, 30 million! Why should he give it to this bastard for free? Moreover, she was dragged down by Rong Qian! Was she innocent? Before she could finish her consideration, the burly man in front of her suddenly stuck a dagger to her already injured face, his eyes threatening. Anhao glared at Rong Qian, who was tied up and lying beside her, angrily. When she met Rong Qian¡¯s thoughtful gaze, she rolled her eyes and was about to speak into the phone when a voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone,¡±¡±Cold City¡­What¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao¡¯s hesitant expression instantly turned stiff because the phone was on loudspeaker mode. Rong Qian, who heard the voice, also frowned with a complicated expression. That was¡­ It was Rong Xue¡¯s voice. The voice that came from the other side of the phone was like a bolt from the blue that struck Anhao¡¯s heart. ¡°Who called? Did the other party not speak?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s concerned voice was tinged with a coquettish and flirtatious tone. She leaned closer to the phone and said,¡±¡±Hello?¡± Anhao¡¯s brain had frozen into ice, and she curled up stiffly on the ground without moving. The burly man in front of her looked at her ashen face in confusion, and pressed the dagger even harder on her face, forcing her in a low voice,¡±¡±Hurry up and speak!¡± Anhao clenched her teeth tightly and didn¡¯t say a word. Just as the man was about to pick up the phone and speak to her, she suddenly raised her leg and kicked the man¡¯s wrist. The phone instantly fell to the ground, and the screen shattered and turned dark. ¡°Motherf * cker! Stinky ***! It¡¯s so hard for you to make a phone call! He actually dared to smash the phone! I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± As the burly man cursed and rolled up his sleeves to attack her, Anhao looked at them expressionlessly and coldly. Her eyes were gradually bloodshot, but there was no fear in her eyes. A cold smile gradually appeared on her lips. City A, Libril Resort Hotel, 18-floor entertainment club, bright lights, ambiguous neon lights. Young men and women in twos and threes raised their glasses and clinked glasses with each other. From time to time, the sound of celebration and invitations could be heard. Charity galas that were related to the entertainment industry had always been associated with the media. When several specially invited media outlets began to enter the venue, Rong Xue saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure walking out of the VIP living room. The reason why Zuo Hancheng was invited here was definitely not because of her name or Tiansheng Entertainment¡¯s reputation. It was because many top entertainment companies in the industry had invited the most famous and powerful business giants in A City for the sake of cooperation and future prospects. Tonight, Rong Xue and the other celebrities in the industry were not the main characters. The main characters were the bosses who were specially invited. Of course, Zuo Hancheng was the most eye-catching one. He was also the one that everyone looked forward to the most. He was also the one that was the most difficult to deal with. Of course, she knew that Zuo Hancheng would never have come to such a scene a few months ago. At most, he would have sent his vice president or assistant to show up. But now, what happened five years ago had become a reason for him to not completely avoid her for the time being. It was also the biggest bargaining chip in her hands. Even so, although he appeared at the scene, he did not have any intention of interacting with her. She accepted the blessings of all her friends in the industry and asked about her concerns after she was discharged from the hospital, but Zuo Hancheng did not appear by her side. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had finally appeared, Rong Xue clinked glasses with a few of her friends in the entertainment circle and downed the wine in her glass. She turned around and walked toward the figure. As soon as she walked to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, he picked up the phone at the same time. Seeing that he was walking away while answering the phone, Rong Xue began to worry that her plan would fail because of his early departure. She took advantage of the alcohol to get close to him and leaned softly on his arm. She said gently,¡±Cold City¡­What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not hear the voice on the other end of the line when he picked up the phone. He was even more confused because of the unfamiliar number. However, Rong Xue suddenly leaned over and saw her face flushed red. Her eyes were moist and filled with passion under the ambiguous lights of the entertainment club. She was also drunk and she leaned into his arms tightly. She panted as she could not stand steadily and reached for his phone.¡±Who called? Did the other party not speak?¡± She smiled and leaned into his arms even more brazenly because of the alcohol. At the same time, she let out delicate breaths in his arms and said to the phone in his hand with a smile, ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Heh¡­There didn¡¯t seem to be anyone¡­Did you call the wrong number¡­¡± At the same time, she suddenly fell into his arms weakly. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand, which was about to push her away, instinctively caught her. The moment his arm wrapped around her waist, Rong Xue raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck. She buried her head into his chest and said in a drunken voice, ¡°Cold City¡­Don¡¯t push me away¡­Please¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned and glanced at the phone again. Seeing that the other party had already hung up, he had to be distracted by Rong Xue. He raised his hand and held her waist. He was about to keep an appropriate distance from her, but Rong Xue kept hugging his neck tightly.. Chapter 441 - Chapter 441: Injury (8) Chapter 441: Injury (8) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Don¡¯t push me away¡­So many media outlets are at the scene. They all saw me drunk¡­ If you push me away like this¡­ How am I supposed to survive in China? You¡¯ve already hurt me so heartlessly in front of the media. Are you really going to ignore the slightest bit of old feelings?¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard Rong Xue¡¯s words, his eyes turned cold and indifferent. At the same time, he lifted his hands from her waist and slowly lifted them to the sides. Feeling that he was not even willing to hug her, tears instantly gathered in Rong Xue¡¯s eyes.¡±¡±Cold City¡­l waited for you in the hospital for so long, but you finally went to the hospital just because the doctor brought back the official examination results. I was finally discharged, but you weren¡¯t even willing to look at me¡­¡± ¡® I¡¯ve already told you that I was forced to do that. It was Master Zuo who didn¡¯t allow me to get too close to you. He used all those methods on me. My path was completely distorted because of Master Zuo¡¯s interference. I¡¯m still the same Rongxue. I haven¡¯t changed. Hancheng, please don¡¯t push me away. Look at me, look at me, okay?¡± I haven¡¯t changed¡­l¡¯m still the same person¡­ ¡± If it wasn¡¯t for the news of the miscarriage, if it wasn¡¯t for you knowing that I was forced by Old Master Zuo five years ago, would you have never interacted with me again? Would you never be willing to take a serious look at me again in this lifetime?¡± ¡® Hancheng, I love you so much. If it weren¡¯t for the old man¡¯s interference, there wouldn¡¯t have been so many misunderstandings and so many years of separation. After those things happened, I broke down a few times and didn¡¯t dare to see you. I didn¡¯t dare to explain to you. I used five years to make myself stronger and stronger, so strong that the old man couldn¡¯t hurt me anymore. I used five years to gather my courage to look for you, but why¡­ Why didn¡¯t you give me any chance¡­¡± ¡°That year, it wasn¡¯t even the case¡­ Hancheng, can we let go of those misunderstandings? I won¡¯t ask you to help me because of miscarriage and infertility. I know that I asked for it. If I wasn¡¯t so stupid back then, I wouldn¡¯t have fallen into Old Master¡¯s trap. If I was determined back then, I wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± Countless media cameras were already projected in that direction. Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly. While Rong Xue was still hugging him tightly and crying, he suddenly said in a low voice,¡¯¡±¡®How much did Tiansheng pay this hotel? They said that they would only invite a few specially invited media companies, but now there were so many people holding cameras? Rongxue, are you sure you¡¯re still the same person as before?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s breathing stopped. She felt her arm being grabbed and pulled away from his neck inch by inch. He slowly pushed her away from his embrace. It was warm in the venue, but she instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. ¡°I don¡¯t know about the media¡­¡± She looked at him stiffly. ¡°Back then, I will investigate everything that the old master did in secret and bring you justice as soon as possible.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold as he looked at her indifferently.¡±¡±l¡¯ve already kept the press release that you discussed with the media after you were discharged.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s face turned pale the moment she heard the words ¡± press release ¡® . The drunkenness in her eyes disappeared. ¡°As a person in the entertainment industry, you are used to magnifying anything in front of the media to increase your exposure. This is your job and an indispensable way in your business. However, you deliberately concealed the truth and tried to use what happened five years ago to tie me up. You even pushed the blame of your miscarriage and car accident to me in front of the media. You used the media¡¯s public opinion to force any woman other than you to be unable to stand by my side. This was your true goal.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold, and his calm but slightly domineering voice made Rong Xue¡¯s eyes stiffen as she looked at him.¡±¡±Cold City¡­lt¡¯s not like this¡­¡± ¡°The press release was sent to all the media and news stations by you and President Wang of Tiansheng Entertainment. Every time you thought that there would be no mistakes, my people were there. Do you really think that the storm that you caused in front of the media was just a small appetizer? Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in A City and force me to submit?¡± Rong Xue clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her palms. She looked at the coldness in his eyes. She did not believe it. She did not believe that he had been waiting for her on the way when she had started to try to fight for him. She did not believe that Zuo Hancheng would plot against her? He actually let her fall into a trap that she had arranged¡­ Rong Xue shook her head with red eyes.¡± Hancheng, it¡¯s not like that. I didn¡¯t do anything. I really didn¡¯t do anything¡­¡± ¡°Alright, you didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with pity.¡±¡±lf you can put an end to everything you¡¯ve been doing for the past two months, I can pretend that you didn¡¯t do anything.¡± At the same time, Zuo Hancheng suddenly said, ¡± Tell your brother to stay away from Anhao. If I find out that he has done something to Anhao, don¡¯t blame me for not caring about our past relationship. I will completely cut off the hand that the Rong family wants to extend to the country.¡±¡® Rong Xue¡¯s eyes trembled. You¡­¡± After a short silence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze remained calm.¡±¡±l know everything you¡¯ve done. Observing the situation is my mercy and respect for the you of the past. It¡¯s not too late to stop now, don¡¯t force me to do it.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. His cold black eyes lingered on her for one last second before he turned around and brushed past her. The air around him seemed to freeze as he passed by Rong Xue. Rong Xue felt numb from the cold. After a long time, she slowly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure and saw that he had already been dragged out for a drink by the other business tycoons. The surrounding media was still waiting for Rong Xue¡¯s big move, but all the drama that had been discussed earlier was paused at this moment. Rong Xue stood in a hidden corner of the venue and looked in the direction of the VIP room with a pair of still eyes. It was as if everyone who walked out was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shadow, but none of them were. ¡°Miss Rong, do you want to continue? The media is ready.¡± The secretary of Tiansheng¡¯s CEO Wang walked out from the crowd. When she finally found Rong Xue, she quickly walked over and whispered to her,¡± Rong Xue slowly closed her eyes.¡± We can¡¯t continue tonight. Let¡¯s leave first.¡± The secretary was surprised. Everything has been arranged. As for the media¡­ ¡°Can¡¯t you just find some other celebrity¡¯s scandal and brush it off? ¡°Rong Xue raised her voice impatiently. ¡°If the media index is affected, I¡¯ll talk to CEO Wang myself!¡± The secretary had no choice but to leave, but she did not know what this young lady was angry about.. Chapter 442 - Chapter 442: Wounded (9) Chapter 442: Wounded (9) Translator: 549690339 The door of the VIP room opened again. Zuo Hancheng walked out and rubbed his eyebrows. The CEO of a certain corporation came out to greet him and asked if he wanted to go back and join everyone. Zuo Hancheng smiled and refused. At the same time, he looked at the time. Although he had to drink a lot of alcohol with his friends in the industry for various reasons, even mixing white wine, beer, and foreign wine together, he was still worried about the phone call from an hour ago. After walking out of the VIP room and the venue, he was far away from the hustle and bustle of the venue, but his head hurt even more. Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and glanced at it. He was about to call the previous number again when he reached the fork in the corridor outside. A gust of damp wind blew in through the window and he staggered and leaned against the window. He frowned. It had been a long time since he had drunk so much. Moreover, it was so much white wine. He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead again, planning to calm down for a while before leaving. Just as Zuo Hancheng was hesitating whether he should call his little wife at this time of the night to make sure that she was safe, he suddenly heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground in front of him. She was approaching him step by step. The moment he lifted his black eyes, he met Rong Xue¡¯s drunken gaze. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold and dark eyes did not waver even a little when she approached. However, when Rong Xue was about to approach, his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly. ¡°Hancheng, did you drink too much?¡± Rong Xue was obviously drunk, but she asked him with a smile as she approached him. Yes, he had drunk too much, but at least he could still stay awake. Zuo Hancheng City didn¡¯t answer, only saw Rong Xue wearing very thin, walking out, now still cold, spring, outside the venue, the walkwvay outside is very cold, outside the window, carrying the cold freezing rain, the wind blowing in, Zuo Hancheng even wearing a windbreaker jacket can also feel a bit cool. ¡°How can we drive back like this? Do you want me to ask the people from Tiansheng to arrange a suite for you in this hotel?¡±Rong Xue acted as if nothing had happened. She just smiled and walked over to him to show her concern. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll be fine after a while of cold wind.¡±Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and gently clenched it into a fist, placing it on his forehead to support his head, which was indeed hurting a little, from continuing to feel dizzy. Rong Xue seemed to have thought it through. It was best to maintain a polite relationship between people before they completely fell out with each other. Faced with Rong Xue¡¯s pure and caring attitude, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifference gradually decreased. ¡°The cold wind blows through the sky.¡± Rong Xue suddenly looked at the window behind him and said,¡±¡±l¡¯ve been exposed to the cold wind for so many years, but I still haven¡¯t woken up¡­l told myself a thousand times that you, Zuo Hancheng, are actually a heartless man. Three years ago, I even impulsively booked a plane ticket in the middle of the night to come to China to look for you because I missed you. That night was very cold, the coldest night in the history of Los Angeles. They pulled me back and told me not to be impulsive¡­¡± ¡± I filled the bathtub with ice cubes. I lay in the ice cubes and told myself that I would rather die from the cold than be impulsive¡­ ¡°But I¡¯m still not awake¡­¡± Rong Xue looked at him quietly.¡±¡± I love you too deeply. It¡¯s so deep that I¡¯d rather change myself into someone who¡¯s no longer like me to snatch you back¡­¡± ¡°Cold City¡­How innocent I am¡­lf I hadn¡¯t entered the entertainment industry back then, Grandpa wouldn¡¯t have hated me so much¡­But at that time, I was clean from head to toe at least¡­Yet, he hated her¡­ But he pushed me into the abyss¡­But¡­ I should hate you, but I¡¯ve always loved you so disappointingly¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m just unwilling¡­¡± Rong Xue laughed as she spoke, but as she laughed, tears fell from her eyes.¡±l¡¯ve worked hard for so many years. I once wanted fame and fortune, but I was so obsessed that I even neglected the most important things around me. After that, I finally realized that I had lost something. I climbed up step by step until I could barely stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I came to you with a victorious attitude, thinking that you would look at me in a different light¡­¡± ¡°But¡­Yet you hate me so much¡­¡± Rong Xue smiled as tears rolled down her face. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sober eyes even though he had too much to drink. She looked at his face that she had wanted to get close to in her dreams. She looked at his arms and chest that no longer belonged to her. She smiled weakly. ¡°Do I really not even have the qualification to possess you after missing out on these five years¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He just looked at the woman who was crying and laughing in silence. He did not say a word about the past. ¡°You¡¯re really heartless. I¡¯ve seen it five years ago. Now, it makes me realize even more clearly how good the man I¡¯ve loved for so many years is. He¡¯s so good that if I accidentally lose him, I¡¯ll never be able to get him back¡­¡± As Rong Xue spoke, she staggered to Zuo Hancheng. She was only two to three centimeters away from his chest. When she breathed, she could almost touch his arms. However, she just stood there and looked up at him. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to approach you anymore¡­¡± She looked at his face in a daze. Her eyes were red, but she smiled and said,¡±The moment I move closer, you will push me away¡­¡± ¡°Is it because you won¡¯t push me away if you keep a certain distance like this? Hancheng, how can I accept you like this¡­¡± ¡°You drank too much.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly. He did not push her away, nor did he reach out to touch her. He just leaned against the window and endured the headache from being drunk. ¡°You drank too much, but you¡¯re still very sober, aren¡¯t you?¡±Rong Xue looked at his face. As Zuo Hancheng frowned, a cold wind blew past the window beside them. There was even rain falling from the window onto her shoulders. Rong Xue shivered from the cold. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her but did not say anything. He raised his hand to close the window. Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were red.¡± If it was in the past, you would definitely lend me your coat like a gentleman.¡± Now, you¡¯ve even let go of the gentlemanly manners you received in America since you were young. You¡¯re just looking at me shivering in the cold¡­Not to mention a hug, you¡¯re even stingy with giving me a coat¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zuo Hancheng remained silent.¡± Rong Xue laughed out loud when she heard the apology. Compared to the calmness earlier, she suddenly leaned into his arms and looked up at him.¡±¡±Cold City¡­Did you give all your passion to Gu Anhao? What was I when we were together? You¡¯re so stingy with even a kiss..¡± Chapter 443 - Chapter 443: Wounded (10) Chapter 443: Wounded (10) Translator: 549690339 Rong Xue¡¯s tears rolled down her cheeks, which were flushed red from the alcohol, and landed on the back of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. However, the corners of her mouth were still showing a smile of despair. ¡°Why¡­Han City¡­¡± Compared to Rong Xue¡¯s excitement and tears, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s reaction was calm. He calmly looked at the woman¡¯s tears, calmly listened to her grievances and heartache, and calmly stood on the spot without reaching out to wipe her tears. She felt as if she was standing in front of a statue without any warmth. Rong Xue suddenly cried and laughed, ¡°Hancheng, even if it was a statue, it would at least let me hug it and give me some warmth, but you refused to give me anything. ¡± As she spoke, she suddenly looked at him with burning eyes. Just like that, she suddenly leaned forward and pressed herself tightly into his arms. At the same time, she raised her hand to hug his neck and raised her head to bring her red lips closer to his fickle. Zuo Hancheng was about to stretch out his hand to block it, but Rong Xue could not stand properly due to the alcohol. She leaned forward too suddenly, and her high heels suddenly tilted to the side, causing her to lose her balance and fall down. His arm suddenly tightened. Rong Xue knew that it was just an instinctive support, but she still took the opportunity to get closer to him because of the wild beating in her heart and the uncontrollable despair and impulse. She raised her head and leaned into his arms to kiss him. Because it was too sudden, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s movements were slower than usual due to the alcohol. He did not manage to avoid it in time, and his warm lips were brushed by her red lips that were stained with the fragrance of alcohol. At the same time, Rong Xue tiptoed and closed her eyes to kiss him deeply. Zuo Hancheng knew that Rong Xue was very drunk. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have chosen to stay far away from him after hearing what he had said an hour ago. However, the moment his lips brushed past her, he frowned and suddenly held her waist tightly, forcing her to retreat in pain. Rong Xue stubbornly tried to force him to open his lips as if she could not feel the pain. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was already on her shoulder, pushing her away. She pushed him away so resolutely. With tears in her eyes, Rong Xue used all her strength to cling tightly to his chest. Her hands clutched tightly onto his shirt, refusing to let go. Suddenly, a damp and cold wind blew through the window, and a strange sound came from the door of the safety passage not far away. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze turned in that direction at the same time. The moment he saw Anhao¡¯s figure turn around and disappear through the glass door of the emergency exit, his face tensed up. He pushed Rong Xue away mercilessly. Just as Rong Xue turned around to hug his waist, he pushed her hand away and quickly walked towards the emergency exit. ¡°Han City!¡± Rong Xue turned around and saw his back. She looked at him with pain in her eyes.¡±Gu Anhao is just a child. She doesn¡¯t know love at all! She never trusted you! Hancheng, why can¡¯t you give me some time? I¡¯ve waited for five years, I¡¯ve waited for five years, I just want to return to your side,Hancheng¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks the moment Rong Xue started crying. However, he only stopped for a second before he walked in the direction where Anhao had left. In a large hotel with layers of staircases, darkness and lights intertwined. The sensor lights were on and off, off and on again. Anhao suddenly realized that this city was so big, but no matter how many years she had lived here, it was as if she had always been a passerby. She had never really settled down. She looked at the shadows of the stairs and changed to the safety passage on the other side. Whether it was the 18th floor or the 8th floor, her running speed had surpassed the speed when she won first place in the school sports meet. There were only overlapping shadows and shadows in front of him. When he finally reached the first floor, he quickly ran toward the rainy night outside the door. ¡°Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng chased after her closely. She did not know how far he was from her, but she knew that the pain in her wounds seemed to have gone numb when the rain fell on her. Just an hour ago, Rong Qian jumped up from the ground and blocked the beatings of the few strong men with his body. At the same time, he threw the car keys to her and told her where Zuo Hancheng and Rong Xue would be at the hotel and club tonight. At the same time, he broke free from the ropes and broke out of the encirclement with her. He pushed her in the direction of the car door and gave her a chance to drive away with his body. Anhao¡¯s heart was in a mess at that time. She couldn¡¯t even remember that she didn¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license. She only instinctively took Rong Qian¡¯s electronic car key and rushed into the Ferrari when the strong men were about to tie her up. She didn¡¯t know how she started the completely unfamiliar car. Fortunately, the car was fully automated. She drove the car out of the encirclement with injuries all over her body and left Rong Qian, who was also injured and fighting with those people, on the spot. Anyway, he deserved it. He deserved it. She would not blink even if she saw him being beaten up for the whole night. She had no idea where the hotel Rong Qian was talking about was. She only tried to use the automatic GPS navigation device in the car to point the way, and then the car directly followed the direction indicated by the navigation device. She only needed to control the steering wheel steadily. The man who had never taken a driver¡¯s license drove his car to the place in a daze. He rushed into the hotel with a body full of injuries and rain. He avoided the sight of the security guards and staff in the hotel lobby and sneaked into the elevator. After reaching the floor with surveillance cameras, he changed to the safety passage in the stairwell and ran up until he reached the 18th floor¡­ Then, when she pushed the door open¡­ However, she saw too many things that she shouldn¡¯t have seen. Anhao couldn¡¯t remember how she stood behind the door and looked in that direction. She couldn¡¯t remember how she ran down with her weak legs and ran out of the hotel at an unimaginable speed. As the heavy rain fell on her face, the only thing in her mind was the medical report that Chunchun and Huang Amao had accompanied her to the hospital for a checkup that night. It pierced through her heart and all the nerves in her body. There was not a single part of her body that did not hurt. There was not a single part of her body that did not hurt as much as the injuries she had just suffered. ¡°Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded so close to her ears, yet it also seemed so far away. Anhao¡¯s mind was filled with all sorts of strange noises. Too many things flashed before her eyes, and she had no idea what she was doing. All she knew was to run, mechanically running forward. She ran all the way to the Ferrari that was parked by the roadside and heard Zuo Hancheng calling her name in a stern voice. Anhao¡¯s head also didn¡¯t go back, opened the door and sat in, hand didn¡¯t know whether it was drenched or numb, or how it kept trembling.. Chapter 444 - Chapter 444: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (1) Chapter 444: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s head also didn¡¯t go back, opened the door and sat in, hand didn¡¯t know whether it was drenched or numb, or how it kept trembling. After starting the car, he drove the car at an amazing speed. His hands were trembling, and all the images in his mind were intertwined. Even the places where he was hit by the stick when he was fighting with Rong Qian were crying in pain. The moment Zuo Hancheng chased after her, all he saw was the bloodstains on Anhao¡¯s shoulders and back as she ran in the rain. Just as he was a few steps away, she suddenly jumped into the car. The moment he saw the Ferrari speeding into the road, Zuo Hancheng experienced what it meant to be terrified for the first time in his life! Why was there a car! Anhao didn¡¯t know how to drive at all! Even if he held the steering wheel, he could at most follow suit and drive a few meters. It was absolutely impossible for him to drive on the road! She didn¡¯t even have a driver¡¯s license! Zuo Hancheng cursed under his breath as he watched the car drive away at an uncontrollable speed. He took out his phone and called Anhao as he turned around and walked to the parking lot. However, he couldn¡¯t get through to Anhao¡¯s phone. The bloodstains on Anhao¡¯s back and the silent phone call from before flashed across his eyes. In the heavy rain, Anhao couldn¡¯t see the road ahead at all. In her desperation, she even forgot to turn on the windshield wipers. She only stared blankly ahead and stepped on the accelerator without realizing it. Fortunately, there were not many cars on the wide road, so she could let her Ferrari run rampant on the road. Her body was screaming with intense pain. The scenes of the beatings turned into countless dazzling images in her mind. She couldn¡¯t tell if she had lost her mind because she was driving unsteadily in the car when she broke out of the encirclement! She saw Zuo Hancheng kissing another woman, and she saw Rong Xue in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. Since there was still someone else in his heart, why did he provoke her? Since he still loved Rongxue, why did he give her hope again and again? Since he was so reluctant to leave her, why did he give her so many false appearances to deceive herself when he could stand under the porch lamp! Was she too stupid to notice it all along, or was Zuo Hancheng hiding it too well? Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that she would witness such a good show when she finally arrived at this place! It was a good show that no one could fake! If Zuo Hancheng was lying on the bed unmoving because he was drunk and Rong Xue was lying beside him, she would suspect that Rong Xue wanted her to see this scene on purpose. However, she clearly saw that Zuo Hancheng was sober. Was this also a misunderstanding? Was this still a misunderstanding? Would her eyes always only see misunderstandings? Zuo Hancheng, do you f * cking think that I, Gu Anhao, am a fool? ¡°I passed by a mud pool and saw a kitten that had fallen into the mud and was about to be drowned. Should I save him or not?¡± ¡°When the kitten was rescued, its eyes were covered with mud, and it couldn¡¯t see the way forward. It was rare for me to take a break from my busy schedule, and it was rare for me to have compassion. I brought the kitten home to wash it clean, that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯t believe you, why would I come here?¡± ¡°Anhao, this unexpected marriage has exceeded my expectations.¡± ¡°The most important thing in marriage is trust.¡± ¡°Hancheng said that Gu Anhao will always be the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. Whether it¡¯s in America, China, or anywhere else in the world, you¡¯re the only one who¡¯s the most suitable Mrs. Zuo for him.¡± ¡°Baby, I love you.¡± ¡°Be good and sleep early. You¡¯ll see me tomorrow morning.¡± All is well, all is well here.¡± ¡°I know it wasn¡¯t you.¡± ¡°Anhao!¡± Many voices kept echoing in her head, and Anhao felt like her head was about to explode. Did she see wrongly or did she trust him too much? Or did she miss something? Everything shouldn¡¯t have turned out like this. What should she do? Should she go back to sleep and wake up? When you wake up, you will find that everything is just a dream¡­ Another voice in her head reminded her that she should not have run away just now. She should have rushed up to Rong Xue and slapped her hard! How could she escape? Why did he have to escape? Was it because she was covered in injuries? Was it because she had just escaped from the trap where she was almost kidnapped and was covered in injuries? Was it because Rong Xue was too glamorous and beautiful that Gu Anhao felt inferior? So inferior that she felt that Zuo Hancheng would never push away the beautiful woman in his arms? She felt so inferior that she felt that the blood on her body would stain the carpet in the hotel and the romantic atmosphere between them. Ha, Gu Anhao, you actually had such a day! Anhao drove on the road in a daze. She kept her foot on the accelerator and barely looked at the road and various intersections in front of her. She didn¡¯t know where to go. The sound of the rain kept coming, and everything outside the car window was blurry. Just like her eyes and her heart, she could not find her direction in an instant. Too many things had happened that night. The violent heartbeat she had when she ran in front of those men with sticks still echoed in her heart. That terrifying heartbeat had not stopped until now, but now it was not because she was running, but it was beating even more violently than that, as if she was about to jump out alive. Her hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel, but the pulse on her wrist was beating so fast that she could feel it clearly. Her slender fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the blood vessels on the back of her overly pale hands were almost exposed. The joints on her fingers were white, and she stepped on the accelerator heavily. Suddenly, a blinding light flashed behind the car. She immediately saw through the rearview mirror that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car was already chasing after her. It was obvious that he was about to overtake her and force her to stop. The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car, Anhao¡¯s hair stood on end. She wanted to change the road, but she could not see the road clearly. At the same time, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. When Chunchun and Huang Amao brought her to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor had already strictly instructed her not to do any vigorous exercise for the next few months, and not to eat junk food or cold food. However, after such a fierce fight and being drenched in the freezing rain, Anhao¡¯s mind was blank. She did not know what else she could do. When she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car was about to catch up, she instinctively wanted to leave him far behind. She continued to step on the accelerator as if she was venting her stomach pain.. Chapter 445 - Chapter 445: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (2) Chapter 445: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (2) Translator: 549690339 She didn¡¯t know how fast she was driving because she didn¡¯t even know the numbers on the dial of the car. She didn¡¯t know how to drive, but how strong was her willpower to break through the encirclement and even drive the car to the hotel! Only a ghost would know! She only knew that the sound of the heavy rain hitting the car was almost terrifying. She only knew that she could no longer see her surroundings clearly. She only knew that the car behind her had been warning her to stop with its headlights on, accompanied by the urgent sound of the car horn. Suddenly, the car horn behind the car continued to play loudly. Even through the car door, it sounded almost ear-piercing. Anhao couldn¡¯t see the road ahead at all. She only seemed to hear a short scream in front of her. The heavy rain and frost in front of the car made her unable to tell what was happening for a moment. She only instinctively wanted to brake, but it was too late. Suddenly, she felt as if she had crashed into something heavily¡­ The screeching sound of the brakes rang out from under her feet. The car spun around in a circle due to the rapid speed and the sudden brake before it barely stopped by the roadside. Screams and the sound of rain filled her ears. Anhao leaned against the steering wheel. The sudden brake was too fast and too dangerous, but the seatbelt saved her from disaster. When she slowly raised her head, her gaze slowly lifted at the same time. A person rolled from the front of the car to the window, and then rolled down from the window when she suddenly braked and hit the roadside barrier. Only a bloodstain was left on the car window, which was washed down bit by bit by the torrential rain. Anhao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She looked at the bloodstains on the window that were gradually washed away, and the buzzing of car horns around her ears. When she realized that she had hit someone, she suddenly opened the car door, but she didn¡¯t realize that her legs were so weak that she couldn¡¯t stand up. Just as she was about to get out of the car, she fell straight out of the car and onto the ground. She knelt stiffly on the ground and looked at the crowd and cars that had surrounded her with umbrellas. ¡°Weiran!¡± At the same time, she seemed to hear a familiar voice. However, the heavy rain in front of her blurred her vision. She could only see through the light of the various headlights that the ground in front of her was drenched in the heavy rain and was covered in blood. All he could see was a woman in high heels holding a bag of wedding dresses that she had just taken back and lying on the ground. Blood seeped through the bag and dyed the wedding dress red¡­ A man who had just rushed to the roadside rushed out and picked up the woman. He held her tightly in his arms and called her name. ¡°Weiran!¡± It was as if the world was struck by thunderbolts one after another, and she was completely stunned. However, just as she was about to stand up and go forward, her legs were so weak that she could not get up. The moment she fell to the ground again, someone suddenly pressed down on her shoulder. Someone pressed her heavily into his arms from behind and pressed her head into his chest to prevent her from looking at the pool of blood in front of the car. He only said in a low and hoarse voice on top of her head,¡±Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± It was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warmth¡­ Anhao sat stiffly on the ground and did not move. For a moment, it was as if everything had been thrown to the back of her mind. Not far away, Yi Zeyang was hugging Qi Weiran, who was covered in blood, and he kept shouting the word ¡°Weiran¡±¡­ She bumped into someone. The person she bumped into was Qi Weiran¡­ The world was so small, so small that it was scary. It was so small that she could almost smell the thick smell of blood in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace in the rain. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Nothing happened just now. I¡¯m here.¡±Zuo Hancheng hugged her tightly as she struggled to break free from his embrace.¡±¡±Anhao, go back to my car and leave this place to me.¡± It was as if she could not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice at all. She pushed his arm away with all her might, turned around, and crawled toward the pool of blood. Zuo Hancheng suddenly stepped forward and covered her with his coat, covering her face and forcefully pulling her back.¡±Anhao! Don¡¯t mess around! Get in the car!¡± ¡°Let go of me!¡± Anhao shook his hand off again with the excuse that her hand was slippery from the rain. At the same time, she turned around and glared at him with red eyes.¡±Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold. He saw the fear and self-blame hidden in her eyes. Anhao didn¡¯t want to look at him anymore. She turned around and was about to run over. ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng instantly grabbed her wrist.¡¯¡±¡®Do you know what you are doing?¡± Anhao tried her best to break free from his grip, but Zuo Hancheng held her tightly in his arms and did not allow her to go forward. There were already too many people gathered in front of her. In the heavy rain, there was the sound of a traffic police car approaching, and the sound of the nearest hospital ambulance rushing over from afar. There were too many sounds lingering in her ears. Anhao suddenly lowered her head and bit hard on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm that was wrapped around her chest. Zuo Hancheng frowned. Don¡¯t mess around!¡± ¡°Let me go¡­¡¯ Anhao was already crying so hard that she could not control herself. Her eyes were filled with blood on the ground. She hammered Zuo Hancheng with all her might, but she could not break free. She went to bite his arm again, hitting and tearing all the places she could hit. She did not know where she hit Zuo Hancheng, but he held her tightly in his arms. It was only when Anhao suddenly curled up and groaned because of the pain in her stomach that Zuo Hancheng realized that something was wrong with her and loosened his grip slightly.¡±Anhao?¡± Anhao suddenly pushed his hand away, turned around and rushed to Yi Zeyang, who was hugging Qi Weiran in a pool of blood. The rain poured down. The surrounding car lights shone brightly, causing Yi Zeyang to be covered in blood. As he waited for the ambulance to arrive, he wrapped his coat around Qi Weiran, who was covered in blood. At the moment of life and death, he did not notice who the driver of the car was. However, when Anhao suddenly staggered over and knelt beside him, Yi Zeyang¡¯s already pale face turned even paler the moment he saw her eyes. ¡°Anhao?¡± Yi Zeyang looked at her in disbelief, then at the Ferrari behind her. His eyes were filled with disbelief,¡±¡±lt¡¯s you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Anhao trembled as she raised her hand to caress Qi Weiran¡¯s legs, who was unconscious in his arms. Tears mixed with the rain kept falling, and even the blood on the ground dyed her clothes red.¡±l¡¯m sorry¡­Brother Zeyang¡­ ¡°Why are you driving?¡± Yi Zeyang¡¯s eyes looked like he had seen a ghost. He thought he was having a nightmare as he watched Anhao, who was crying uncontrollably, kneel beside him. Anhao cried so hard that she almost twitched. The rain hit her body, but she could no longer feel the cold and pain. She just kept muttering,¡±l¡¯m sorry¡­¡± If it were any other driver who had caused the accident, Yi Zeyang would probably have beaten her up right now. She clearly saw that his hand that was hugging Qi Weiran¡¯s body had already turned white from holding it in. However, when he found out that it was her who had hit Qi Weiran with her car, there was only shock in his eyes. Chapter 446 - Chapter 446: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (3) Chapter 446: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­l didn¡¯t see¡­¡± Anhao sobbed,¡±l¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Brother Zeyang¡­l really didn¡¯t see anyone in front of me¡­¡± This was the first time Anhao called him Brother Zeyang after five years, but it was under such circumstances. Yi Zeyang¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. He saw her kneeling in the rain and crying until she was trembling and unable to raise her head. He slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, he did not say a word when the ambulance arrived. He carried Qi Weiran, who was covered in blood, into the ambulance. ¡°Is this little girl an adult yet? He actually drove such a luxury car on the road¡­¡± ¡°Do you not even have a driver¡¯s license? He drove so fast! Is this heavy rain deliberately coming out to harm people¡¯s lives¡­¡± ¡°Young people these days are really too willful. They drive luxury cars out to harm the heavens and kill people when they have money. He must have hit someone! Serves you right!¡± ¡°This kind of child who doesn¡¯t take human lives seriously at such a young age should be locked up early so that he won¡¯t come out and harm others in the future. There are really too many road killers nowadays!¡± Anhao could only sit stiffly in the rain and watch as Yi Zeyang carried Qi Weiran into the car. She watched as the ambulance sped away and saw the traffic police surrounding them. Suddenly, she seemed to be unable to hear any sound. When someone pulled her up from the ground, put on her clothes again, and pulled her into his arms, Anhao could no longer see Zuo Hancheng beside her. There was only blood on the ground and the mocking and scolding of the people around her. She was already covered in blood. She did not know how shocking her wounds were when they were mixed with the blood stains on the ground. She only knew that Zuo Hancheng seemed to want to press her into his body. She only knew that her vision went dark. Zuo Hancheng had forcefully covered her face and body, and she was forced into the car. The car door was heavily closed, and in an instant, she didn¡¯t look at everything outside, didn¡¯t look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, but her mind was in a mess, and the sound of the rain patting on the car body hit her hard at the bottom of her heart. She had only been in the car for a few dozen seconds, and she could no longer sit there peacefully. Her body was extremely cold, but she felt as if her entire body was on fire and needed to be put out by the heavy rain. What would happen if Qi Qi Weiran died? What else could he do? She kills people, ah. While Zuo Hancheng was negotiating with the traffic police ahead, Anhao suddenly opened the car door and ran out into the rain. It was as if she wanted to escape from everything in front of her, and she ran desperately in the opposite direction of the crowd. The scene of Qi Weiran¡¯s entire body bouncing off the car and rolling down again flashed in front of her eyes, and her ears were filled with terrifying sounds. ¡± Twenty-three years ago, your mother, Anping, accidentally killed someone in the United States and was arrested by the New York police. Later, for some unknown reason, she was rescued and then fled the United States. Before Anping fled the United States, she severed all ties with her real family. Before entering China, she erased all her past identities and background. Other than this arrest warrant for her accidental murder in New York back then, there are also various information and change notices about her changing her nationality when she entered the film back then¡­¡± ¡°Back then, Anping escaped after causing a death. She used the identity of an American wanted criminal to fake her identity in China and became a university student with a clean and simple family background¡­¡± ¡°I wonder what kind of family background Anping had in the United States. She was actually able to escape from the United States police just like that¡­ However, your mother is the real murderer. She is the real murderer. She even deceived everyone and pretended to be a pure and simple university student to deceive all of us¡­ ¡°Anhao, your mother is a murderer¡­How good could your biological father be? I still don¡¯t know where your biological father is. He¡¯s a hooligan who roams the world¡­ ¡°Your mother killed someone and escaped. Even if she¡¯s dead, it doesn¡¯t change the fact that she¡¯s still on the wanted list of the American police!¡± ¡°Your mother, An Ping, was a murderer who changed her name and fled America for more than 20 years¡­ ¡°Your mother killed someone¡­¡¯ Gu Tianming¡¯s words of coercion that exposed her mother¡¯s past were still echoing in her ears. It was as if someone was calling her name, but Anhao only ran forward with all her might. The moment she suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, she was helped up by someone. At the same time, facing the raging anger and questioning of the person behind her, she only stared at that familiar face in a daze. All she could see was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold expression. She could only see him holding her shoulders and restraining her body. She could only see his mouth moving, but she could only hear his voice echoing in her ears. She could not hear him at all. ¡°Zuo, Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s face was pale. She finally spoke, but her voice was so hoarse that it was as if it was filled with sand. She looked at him with difficulty, and her eyes were blank.¡±l killed someone¡­¡± She could only see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth moving. After a long time, she could barely hear his voice. He said sternly,¡±¡±She¡¯s still on the way to the hospital tor emergency treatment. Before she¡¯s officially declared dead, this is just an ordinary car accident! Don¡¯t think so extreme. Be obedient and cheer up. I¡¯m here for everything!¡± Anhao acted as if she had not heard anything and allowed Zuo Hancheng to hold onto her shoulders and support her body like a leaf in the wind. She looked at him with a pale face and said,¡±¡±Do you want to get away from me now? Go find Rongxue. I don¡¯t want to drag you down¡­¡¯ ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± In an instant, she felt as if she was about to be swallowed by him. She had never seen Zuo Hancheng like this before, but she did not have the heart to feel it now. She could only feel that his hand was about to crush her shoulder. As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes because of the intense pain in her stomach and the darkness in her brain that was gradually devouring her consciousness. Suddenly, she fell into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. ¡°Anhao!¡± Before she completely lost consciousness, she could only vaguely hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s call and vaguely hear a police car approaching¡­ Five days later- Wenner pushed the door open and entered the CEO¡¯s office of Shengling Group. He saw Zuo Hancheng sitting behind his desk. He was always neatly dressed. There was a green stubble on his chin that had not been trimmed for at least two days. The buttons on his high-quality shirt were casually undone. He looked sloppy and dispirited, but he had worked in the company for 48 hours without a wink of sleep.. Chapter 447 - Chapter 447: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (4) Chapter 447: Four weeks and five days of pregnancy (4) Translator: 549690339 No, to be exact, in these five days, he had not slept more than six hours. It was the first time that Wenner had seen Zuo Hancheng so slovenly. However, he could not smile at this moment. He took the various notes and reports from the traffic team and walked in. He threw a stack of documents directly on the desk in front of Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Anhao refused to cooperate. The situation has inexplicably gone out of our control.¡±Wenner¡¯s expression was gloomy as he said,¡± Qi Weiran is still in the intensive care unit and cannot be visited. I heard from the doctor that she is still in danger. However, the news from the hospital said that the best outcome might be that she will be in a vegetative state and lie in bed for the rest of her lifa ¡°Although I can¡¯t confirm the authenticity of this news, based on Qi Weiran¡¯s condition when she was injured, it¡¯s not impossible.¡± ¡°Now, the Qi family is holding on to this matter and has joined forces with many forces in the military to put pressure on our connections in the traffic team. Also, the Gu family has taken the opportunity to interfere, including¡­Yi family. Yi Zeyang has been accompanying and taking care of her in the hospital all this while. I don¡¯t know if he has interfered in this matter, but the Yi family, the Gu family, and the Qi family have joined forces to target Anhao. I really can¡¯t understand why these people are targeting Anhao, who is just a simple twenty-year-old girl¡­¡± ¡°More importantly, if we want to settle this matter as soon as possible, as long as Anhao is willing to cooperate, we can protect her even if the three families work together to pressure her. However, she just had to admit to the Qi family¡¯s conspiracy theory!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have heard him. He was reading the dossier in his hand and writing a reply. However, when Wenner finished his sentence, his hand paused and he slowly raised his head to look at Wenner coldly. Upon meeting Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze, Wenner¡¯s expression darkened.¡±¡±The Qi family accused Anhao of intentional murder. They said that she was jealous of Qi Weiran¡¯s impending marriage to the Yi family and wanted to kill her with a car! The Gu family even pointed out that Anhao had indeed liked Yi Zeyang for many years, and when she was in her teens, she often played tricks to drive away the female classmates who appeared around Yi Zeyang. They said that she had been a rebellious and vicious girl since she was young!¡± ¡°The Gu family has produced evidence. It¡¯s some of Anhao¡¯s childhood diary entries. Gu Shishi has long hidden those diary entries. I didn¡¯t expect it to come in handy at this time. The diary contained some of her secret feelings for Yi Zeyang when she was young, as well as the words she wrote when she hated the female classmates who appeared around Yi Zeyang and wanted to chase them away, and¡­The Gu family had added a lot of embellishment to the content. In short, they wanted to make Anhao guilty of intentional murder. They were going against you both openly and covertly so that Anhao would spend the rest of her life in prison and be ruined by this car accident.¡± ¡°So now, it has completely evolved from a simple car accident to a situation where the Qi and Yi families are working together. The Gu family is adding fuel to the fire.¡¯ ¡® Besides, Anhao obviously doesn¡¯t know how to drive. Although we don¡¯t know what happened at that time, we can see from the surveillance footage that the rain was so heavy that the ground was covered in rain bubbles and white fog. Even an experienced driver could have gotten into an accident on that road, let alone Anhao, a girl who doesn¡¯t even have a driver¡¯s license!¡± ¡°She did accidentally hit Qi Weiran, but when she heard those baseless and unreasonable accusations, she admitted it! She admitted that she had killed him on purpose! She admitted that she was jealous of Qi Weiran! That stupid girl had admitted to everything that was related to her or not!¡± Zuo Hancheng seemed to have already known Anhao¡¯s emotions and condition during her two days of detention. He remained silent when he heard Wenner¡¯s words. ¡°I think this matter is too strange. Even if Anhao might have suffered some blow or stimulation, she wouldn¡¯t go against us like this. She wouldn¡¯t be so ignorant and do the opposite. She should know what to say and do now is the most beneficial for her.¡¯ ¡°But she suddenly confessed everything as if she was possessed. This matter is definitely not that simple. Anhao¡¯s personality was not the kind of silly girl who would blindly admit her guilt and make her enemies happy. It was too strange.¡± However, no matter how strange it was, Anhao had indeed admitted to those groundless crimes. Wenner had been so anxious about her that his hair had turned white. However, he had not been able to crack open this girl whose brain had inexplicably gone into paste. He did not know what Zuo Hancheng was planning to do under such circumstances. After looking at him for a while, he took out two things from his briefcase. ¡°These two portions¡­one of them was a medical record and diagnosis record from the hospital that I found when I tried to help Anhao get away with her crime.¡± As he spoke, Wenner handed the diagnosis report to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze swept across the diagnosis record. When he saw the words ¡± four weeks and five days of pregnancy ¡± at the bottom, his expression did not change. The pen in his hand suddenly broke. Even though he knew that it was not the right time to do so, he still remembered Anhao¡¯s condition and attitude when he went to visit her, as well as her many requests. Although he did not know what had gotten into that girl, Wenner hesitated for a moment before he placed another paper document on the desk and slowly pushed it in front of Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on the words ¡®divorce agreement¡¯. ¡°This is the divorce agreement that Anhao asked someone to help draft and print out. When I went to see her today, she asked me to give it to you.¡±As Wenner spoke, he looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s frozen expression. ¡°I really can¡¯t figure out Anhao¡¯s personality. What exactly happened for her to suddenly plead guilty and get a divorce?¡± Zuo Hancheng still did not say anything. His gaze fell quietly on the divorce agreement and he saw Anhao¡¯s signature at the bottom corner. ¡°I¡¯m clearly looking good, I¡¯m sober, I¡¯m talking, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm, I¡¯m calm¡­¡± ¡°What else did she say?¡± Finally, Zuo Hancheng opened his mouth. He picked up the medical report next to him expressionlessly and stamped it on the divorce agreement. Wenner¡¯s expression froze. He recalled how Anhao had sat there, pale and quiet, when he went to visit her. He thought of the girl¡¯s hands that were red and swollen for some reason, and the look in her eyes when she hid her hands in her sleeves.. Chapter 448 - Chapter 448: What’s Wrong With Your Hand (1) Chapter 448: What¡¯s Wrong With Your Hand (1) Translator: 549690339 That shouldn¡¯t be how Anhao should be, but it was indeed Anhao. When she stubbornly handed the divorce letter to him, Wenner knew that Anhao had something on her mind, but she refused to say anything. She also refused to let him look into her eyes. She avoided his gaze and insisted that he give the divorce letter to Zuo Hancheng. ¡°She only apologized to me when I told her that I would do everything I could to save her. She apologized and said that it was too troublesome for me.¡±¡± I¡¯m not used to that girl suddenly being so sensible,¡± Wenner said thoughtfully.¡± But just when I thought she was too scared and wanted to comfort her, she insisted on giving me this thing and asked me to bring it to you.¡± ¡± Actually, with Anhao¡¯s personality, it¡¯s normal for her to be crazy and rowdy usually. The most terrifying thing is that she¡¯s strangely quiet and sensible now. I actually can¡¯t tell what she¡¯s thinking. The only thing I can feel is that she looks lifeless, as if she doesn¡¯t have any interest or expectation in leaving that place. It¡¯s as if she doesn¡¯t have any hope for freedom.¡± Zuo Hancheng silently looked at the diagnosis report in front of him and the word ¡± pregnancy ¡± on it without saying a word. Wenner suddenly remembered something. ¡°By the way, on the night of the accident, Anhao was driving Rong Qian¡¯s car. Why was Rong Qian with her? However, according to my friend in the traffic team, Anhao and Rongqian were kidnapped by a gang on Binzhi Road that night. I don¡¯t know how she escaped. She was injured at that time, right? Where did she drive to? How did you catch up to her?¡± Zuo Hancheng remained silent, but he slowly closed his eyes. He sat there quietly, as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted. ¡± Now, those three families are working together to put pressure on us. In addition, Anhao is not cooperating. Qi Weiran is still in the intensive care unit and has not escaped from danger. Everything is unknown. I was originally very confident that I could completely resolve this matter within a week and bring Anhao out safely, but now¡­She didn¡¯t want to come out herself, and she had an attitude that even nine bulls couldn¡¯t pull her back. She was really a girl who gave people a headache.¡± Wenner couldn¡¯t tell if he was angry or heartbroken. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded, but it was unusually calm.¡±¡±After all, Gu Tianming knows Anhao¡¯s Achilles ¡®heel. If he uses what happened to Anhao¡¯s mother back then to attack her at this time, Anhao will also break down with her extremely stubborn personality. Then, he will use some of her Achilles¡¯ heel to threaten her and force her to have no business.¡¯ ¡°So now that Anhao refuses to cooperate, I have no idea where to start. I can¡¯t really let her stay in there like this. It¡¯s already been five days! Mr. Zuo, you haven¡¯t slept for the past five days either. Now that Anhao is so stubborn and wants to push herself into the abyss, I really can¡¯t control her. Do you want to go see her and persuade her properly?¡± ¡°She won¡¯t see me.¡± Zuo Hancheng said coldly. Wenner was stunned. He thought of Anhao¡¯s calm attitude and the divorce agreement that she had asked him to take out. He frowned. ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­Mr. Zuo, if Anhao continues to plead guilty regardless of any accusations, going through the normal legal procedures like this will only cause a big problem. If he was in a hurry to save her, he could only use extreme methods.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.¡±¡±How confident are you?¡± Wenner did not expect that Zuo Hancheng would choose to use his final move. ¡°There is a price for everything. Moreover, those three clans are still obstructing us. Once we make any move, they will definitely not let us off. This price¡­Are you sure?¡± Wenner lowered his voice. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold.¡± Gu Anhao is a stubborn stone. She can¡¯t be broken, and she won¡¯t hurt. If you want to break a stubborn stone, you have to pay the price. ¡®¡±¡® When Wenner walked out of Shengling Group, he was still thinking about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s backup plan. Suddenly, he saw a car stop in front of him. Rong Xue was not wearing sunglasses or a mask. She was walking in that direction openly, ignoring the gazes of the people around her. Just as Rong Xue was about to walk past her and enter Shengling Group, Wenner put one hand in his pocket and looked back at her. At the same time, he called out to her,¡±¡±Miss Rong.¡± Rong Xue stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Wenner, who was standing at the foot of the stairs and was about to leave. After a moment of hesitation, she turned around and walked toward him. ¡°Mr. Wenner?¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare that Miss Rong still recognizes an old friend like me.¡±Wenner curled his lips into a faint smile and said in a low voice,¡±¡±We haven¡¯t seen each other for so many years. This rare formal reunion should have been a change of environment. Unfortunately, I still have something to do. Coincidentally, I also have something that I¡¯m very puzzled about.¡± Rong Xue was aware of the relationship between Wenner and Zuo Hancheng. He was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s best friend who had crossed many industries. He was also Zuo Hancheng¡¯s most capable right-hand man. Now that Wenner was speaking in such a tone, she could immediately guess what he wanted to ask. ¡°Gu Anhao¡¯s matter has nothing to do with me.¡±she said directly. Wenner looked at her for a while and smiled faintlv. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°No, no, no, I¡¯m not asking about that. I¡¯m just curious. What¡¯s wrong with your brother, Rong Qian? When Anhao got into trouble, the car she opened was Rong Qian¡¯s. She lent the car to someone who didn¡¯t even have a driver¡¯s license. Your brother was charged with a crime and couldn¡¯t escape responsibility, but you didn¡¯t care at all? Why would he come here at a time like this?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s expression froze for a moment, then gradually turned into a sneer. ¡°Mr. Wenner, do you think this is a trap set up by Rong Qian and me? Can we control Gu Anhao¡¯s thoughts? He could control the way Gu Anhao drove? Can we guess that the person she hit with her car was General Qi¡¯s daughter, Miss Sun? If we are really so godly, why can¡¯t I stand by Han City¡¯s side again?¡± Wenner didn¡¯t have any strange attitude because of her rhetorical questions. He only raised his eyebrows slightly.¡±Miss Rong, you don¡¯t have to be so sensitive. I¡¯m only asking Rong Qian.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know anything about Rong Qian.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were cold.¡± You know that when I cut ties with the Rong family, Rong Qian was still young. Now, he is the only heir of the Rong family. The Rong family only came to China to expand their business. That¡¯s why Rong Qian was sent here to explore the cultural environment of China and to further his studies. You might not believe me if I say that it¡¯s all by chance, but I really don¡¯t know about this. Besides, Rong Qian hasn¡¯t contacted me recently..¡± Chapter 449 - Chapter 449: What’s Wrong With Your Hand (2) Chapter 449: What¡¯s Wrong With Your Hand (2) Translator: 549690339 After hearing Rong Xue¡¯s words, Wenner did not express his opinion. It was hard to tell whether he believed her or not. After looking at her for a moment, he smiled at her and said, ¡°You came here to see Mister Zuo?¡± Rong Xue paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, ¡°¡±You think he¡¯ll see me?¡± Wenner groaned but did not say anything. Rong Xue continued to smile bitterly.¡± I¡¯m worried that Han City will be forced to resort to extreme measures because of the alliance of the three families. After all, the Qi family has a lot of prestige in the military, the Gu family has a position in politics, and the Yi family has a very important position in the business world of City A. What will happen if the three families block his path at the same time?¡±¡± ¡°You should know that Hancheng was in the United States before he took over Shengling Group. At that time, he was too young and very capable! When he was working on Wall Street, he was already very famous. He had been involved in the underworld, held a gun, and made many people in the United States who opposed him tremble in fear. Although he hasn¡¯t touched those things for so many years, you should know the nature of Han City. Once someone really annoys him, even if he is no longer the young man he used to be, I¡¯m afraid¡­ Wenner raised his hand before she could finish her sentence and stopped her from continuing. At the same time, he said,¡±lf Mr. Zuo really did get his bottom line crossed by those three families, do you think you can stop him?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes froze.¡± ¡°Anhao was locked up for five days.¡± Wenner didn¡¯t say much and only gave her a meaningful smile. Rong Xue was confused and frowned. ¡°It¡¯s been five days.¡± ¡°I know that it has been five days, but aren¡¯t those three still around.. ¡°What do you know? You won¡¯t understand at all.¡± Wenner looked at her coldly again, then turned around and took out the car keys from his pocket. He walked to the parking lot opposite Shengling Group¡¯s plaza. Rong Xue stood rooted to the ground. The cold wind blew past her, causing her to tremble. It was not until Wenner¡¯s figure had disappeared that she seemed to understand what he meant by repeating the word ¡± five days.¡± Five days¡­ Had Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bottom line been crossed? Rong Xue frowned. No, he wouldn¡¯t. No matter how serious Zuo Hancheng was about Gu Anhao, no matter how much he cared about his marriage with Gu Anhao, he was no longer the Zuo Hancheng from back then. He had always been steady and strategic. He had always been a man who was happy in victory and calm in defeat. He had never lost control¡­ She had only said those words to Wenner because she was afraid that the outcome that no one wanted to see would happen. She had only wanted to use this reason to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zuo Hancheng. She had never thought that he would really resort to such a method for Gu Anhao! How could he lose control because of Gu Anhao? How could his bottom line be crossed because of Gu Anhao? He wouldn¡¯t¡­All these years, Zuo Hancheng had never lost control of anyone or anything¡­ The police officer knocked on the glass window. Anhao sat at the table inside and slowly raised her head. The police officer saw that she finally had a reaction and lamented that this little girl had been so cold and cheerless for the past few days. He thought that she had been stimulated to the point that there was something wrong with her brain. Finally, there was some reaction. The policeman knocked on the glass window again, indicating that someone was coming to see her and asked if she wanted to meet him. Anhao sat quietly behind the table. She was not in jail right now. It was just that Qi Weiran had not woken up yet. In addition to the pressure from Qi Guyi¡¯s family, her detention time had been extended indefinitely. However, because Shengling Group was also in the middle, the traffic police and the heads of various departments, including the patrol officers and various police officers in the detention room, did not know whether to treat her as a quasi-criminal or treat her as an ancestor. Anyway, she had been eating here for the past few days, and she was not allowed to sleep on a cold bed. She was only given a quiet and clean detention room. That was enough. At least she could be quiet and not have to think about so many troubles. Anhao didn¡¯t move when she saw the policeman¡¯s gaze. The police officer understood that she didn¡¯t want to see anyone. But¡­ This time, it was the same as the past few days. The people who came were all big shots. They really weren¡¯t people that small patrolmen like them could stop just like that. The patrol officer hesitated for a moment before continuing to knock on the window. At the same time, he picked up the microphone outside the window and said to her, ¡°Gu Anhao, Mayor Gu is here to see you. Mayor Gu¡¯s name is in the family relationship column of your personal information. He is your father, so you have to come out.¡± They really didn¡¯t expect this young lady¡¯s background to be so complicated. She was clearly Mayor Gu¡¯s daughter, but Mayor Gu didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of letting her go. She hadn¡¯t shown up for the past few days, and the Gu family had actually accused Gu Anhao of intentional murder. They really couldn¡¯t understand. No matter what, Mayor Gu was the mayor of A City, after all, and they couldn¡¯t offend him. They couldn¡¯t let her go, but they couldn¡¯t let her suffer any losses here. After all, President Zuo of Shengling Group was giving them pressure. Recently, their place had been really unbelievably lively¡­ There had never been so many big shots focusing their attention on this place before. It made the small police officers not even have the time to take a nap every day. They did not know where Gu Anhao had come from. However, Gu Anhao remained seated and did not move. Her voice was faint and faint.¡¯¡±¡®He is not my father.¡± The policeman looked at him speechlessly.¡± It doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s true or not. Mayor Gu wants to see you.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao still didn¡¯t move. The patrol officer frowned, and his expression was already beginning to become unhappy. However, he suddenly saw Gu Tianming¡¯s figure walking in not far away. He quickly took a step back and bowed. Then, he went forward and said politely,¡±Mayor Gu, we¡¯re really not sure about Miss Gu¡¯s personality. We¡¯re really sorry to have made you wait for so long¡­ Gu Tianming didn¡¯t look at the policeman. He only looked at Gu Anhao, who was standing behind the glass window, expressionlessly. He saw that her face was pale, and there were still some wounds and bruises on her cheeks, but she was silent and motionless. The little girl had finally been caught. He finally had a chance to teach her a lesson. Seeing Anhao¡¯s indifferent look, she guessed that Old General Qi had already talked to her secretly. In this case, everything here was easier to explain. Gu Tianming sneered and was about to open his mouth when suddenly, two unfamiliar people in police uniforms barged in from the corridor beside him. Their movements were so fast that he couldn¡¯t see them clearly. Before he could react, he felt a gun pointed at his head.. Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: What’s Wrong With Your Hand (3) Chapter 450: What¡¯s Wrong With Your Hand (3) Translator: 549690339 Gu Tianming¡¯s expression froze the moment the gun was pointed at him. At the same time, he turned to look at the two people in police uniforms beside him in disbelief.¡±Who are you people? You actually dare to, ah¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he was hit hard on the back of his knee and almost fell to his knees. ¡°Mayor Gu has been having a good time with the Qi and Yi families recently, and he has even received the positive support of the Qi family. When people were too proud, it was inevitable that they would overlook some details, such as the assistants and staff around you who had been replaced a few months ago, the spies planted around you who had been officially dispatched recently, and¡­You have no idea when you became the target of the people around you¡­¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s face instantly turned pale. What are you talking about?¡± The people around him? A few months ago, he had indeed experienced a change of position in the City Hall, but he was not affected. He thought that it was a partial notice from the province that caused the change of position, but there were still some confidants around him who did not leave. He actually let down his guard here?! ¡°Mayor Gu must have been so smug that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth in the past few days, right?¡±The gun was pointed at Gu Tianming¡¯s head, and the sound of the trigger being pulled made Gu Tianming break out in cold sweat. ¡°If I didn¡¯t give you a few days to be proud, how could you be so smug? We¡¯ve really gained a lot in the past few days.¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s back was already drenched in sweat. He could feel that their guns were real and that they had already pulled the trigger. As long as they moved their fingers, his head would be instantly pierced through. However, their words were like a sharp sword that pierced into his heart. He could only raise his trembling hand to stop them.¡±You guys¡­Alright! Zuo Hancheng was actually so audacious! I know that guns are legal in some parts of the United States, but this is China. Do you really think you can be lawless in this territory?¡± However, as soon as he finished speaking, the black muzzle was pointed directly at his forehead. His legs instantly went weak from fear. He could only lean on the arms of the two strangers in police uniforms behind him. His eyes were filled with fear. He wanted to maintain his composure, but he no longer had the courage to say anything. He could only look at the strangers in front of him with a stiff face. He had thought that the pressure from Gu Yiqi¡¯s family would temporarily put Zuo Hancheng at a loss. He did not expect that Zuo Hancheng would be waiting for him here! So, the person who had been plotting behind the scenes these days was also Zuo Hancheng?! The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. This was definitely Zuo Hancheng¡¯s usual tactic. He had actually been so complacent that he had been so careless! So what was Zuo Hancheng trying to do? To use such extreme and illegal means to cut off their current pressure on Gu Anhao? Zuo Hancheng had been in the country for more than five years and had always kept a low profile. But today, he no longer cared about the future? Did he know the consequences of using such a method to suppress the three of them? Gu Anhao was so capable that Zuo Hancheng would go to such lengths for her! Gu Tianming stared at the gun on his forehead in horror as he slowly turned his head to look at Gu Anhao, who had already raised her head and was looking in his direction in surprise. He immediately gave her a threatening look, but in the next moment, he was taken away. Anhao sat inside and couldn¡¯t hear what was going on outside. The soundproofing of the detention room was very good. Unless she used the microphone outside to transmit her voice, she couldn¡¯t hear anything at all. At first, she didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and couldn¡¯t be bothered to look. Now that she sensed something was wrong, she looked up and was shocked to see that Gu Tianming was actually being held down by a few people in police uniforms. In fact¡­ Was that a gun? Anhao looked at the guns in the hands of the two people and saw their guns pointed at Gu Tianming¡¯s head. She saw Gu Tianming¡¯s terrified eyes until Gu Tianming was dragged out of the detention room with the guns pointed at him. The police officers outside had also disappeared. She didn¡¯t know what had happened. She just stared blankly at the empty corridor outside. It was too quiet outside. If it was in the past, this kind of silence would definitely make her panic. But now, she was glad of this kind of silence. Two days later. Anhao did not know why she was sent out of the detention center. She clearly knew that Qi Weiran had not woken up yet. She clearly heard that the doctor had clearly informed the Qi family that Qi Weiran¡¯s best condition was that she might be in a vegetative state in the future and might not wake up. So even if she didn¡¯t kill anyone, she had to bear the crime. So, she should be in jail. Anhao thought of the look Yi Zeyang gave her when he was hugging Qi Weiran in a pool of blood. She thought of the blood-stained wedding dress in the bag on the ground. Anhao just wanted to turn around and go back to the detention center. However, she was still brought out and Zuo Hancheng came to pick her up personally. Knowing that Zuo Hancheng had come, Anhao stood there silently after being sent out. She didn¡¯t say a word or resist, allowing Zuo Hancheng to bring her to the car and drive her home. The scene of those people holding guns was still playing in front of her eyes. She did not know what method Zuo Hancheng used to bring her out in such a difficult time. She only knew that as long as Zuo Hancheng wanted to do something, nothing could stop him. If she didn¡¯t know how Han Ru¡¯s matter was resolved, she didn¡¯t need to guess now. Zuo Hancheng was someone she had never truly understood. She could see his gentleness, his indulgence towards her, and his love and sincerity. However, she could not understand his silence, his evasiveness, or the look in his eyes when he rushed out of the press conference with Rongxue in his arms. She could not understand how he was kissing Rong Xue at the window at the end of the hotel corridor. She did not know where those armed men came from. She only knew that Zuo Hancheng could not be copied, nor could he be offended. Even if it was the military forces that they could not afford to offend in the country¡­He actually had a way to save her from these people? His connections were too complicated and terrifying. It was very quiet in the car on the way home. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything to comfort her. Ever since she came out, other than the moment he saw her walk out and held her in his arms, he had not expressed anything else. Whether it was his expression, actions, or words, he was as silent as her. However, this was the best way to comfort her now. There was no exaggerated concern or doubt, and there was no deliberate comfort or confession. When the car was about to reach Liujing Garden, Anhao¡¯s hand that had been quietly resting on her lap slowly clenched.. Chapter 451 - Chapter 451: What’s Wrong With Your Hand (4) Chapter 451: What¡¯s Wrong With Your Hand (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao finally opened her mouth before they entered the house. ¡°Is Qi Weiran awake?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced sideways at her.¡± Whether she wakes up or not has nothing to do with you. You don¡¯t have to ask about this anymore.¡±¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze was so calm that it didn¡¯t look like hers at all. At the same time, she looked at him. Zuo Hancheng was dressed in black from the beginning to the end. He was wearing a black jacket, a black shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes. He was like the king of the Umbral Realm. He had suddenly swept her away from the traffic police station. He was so fast that she still did not know why. However, what she was most concerned about now was whether Qi Weiran would die because of her. Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his hand and stroked her head gently as if to comfort her. It was as if he was trying to give her courage. Finally, he rested his hand on her shoulder. His gaze was gentle, but it was so deep that she could not understand it. ¡°Although he hasn¡¯t woken up yet, he¡¯s still alive after so many days. He can obviously still be saved. Medical technology is advanced now, and if he really can¡¯t do it, he can be sent overseas for treatment immediately. In short, you don¡¯t have to ask about this matter anymore.¡± ¡°Even if I really have a life on my hands, will you help me deal with it?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand suddenly tightened around her shoulder. Anhao looked at him in pain, but she did not cry out in pain or frown. She just lowered her eyes and said calmly,¡±¡±l seem to have caused you trouble again.¡± She knew that there must have been a reason for her sudden rescue. It must have been a big trouble. ¡® Don¡¯t think too negatively.¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned.¡± There¡¯s always room for change.¡±¡® Anhao did not say anything. She looked into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°¡±Even if Qi Weiran doesn¡¯t die, the best outcome is to lie in the ward and become a vegetable for the rest of her life?¡± She heard Qi Yi and Gu family say the same thing. Zuo Hancheng stared at her face, which had lost a lot of weight. ¡°¡®I¡¯ve only heard about it so far. I still need to understand the specific situation in depth. After all, even after Qi Weiran was sent to the hospital, the people I secretly arranged for her to be sent there have not been able to see her true condition and the progress of her treatment. Whether the Qi family exaggerated it in order to join forces with the Gu family to send you there or if it was true, everything is still unknown.¡± It was not impossible for the Qi family to exaggerate Qi Weiran¡¯s injuries, but Anhao clearly remembered that day when Qi Weiran was knocked into the car window and bounced up. Then, she rolled down heavily. At that time, the blood on the car window and the blood on the ground would not lie¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild before Qi Weiran¡¯s injury is confirmed.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She just stood there quietly and didn¡¯t ask any more questions. She was strangely quiet and obedient. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down his solemn and low tone and turned it into a clear and gentle tone. She raised her eyes and looked at the door in front of her, still not saying a word. When he opened the door, she walked straight in. She thought that she would face Xu Yuan¡¯s worries or questions, but after walking in, the house was quiet. There was no scolding from her mother-in-law as she had expected. Anhao stood still in front of the door and looked at everything in the house. ¡°Mom has been very worried about you these past few days, but she guessed that with your personality, it would be difficult for you to face too many people¡¯s concern at once, so she booked a flight back to America before you came back. When you feel better, she will call you.¡± Zuo Hancheng put Anhao¡¯s things down and turned to look at her, who was still rooted to the ground.¡±¡±Before she left, she made your favorite pork ribs and fish soup. They¡¯re all in the kitchen. Some seafood is considered cold food. She was worried about your pregnancy, so she didn¡¯t cook those things for you.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao¡¯s face as he spoke. Anhao¡¯s back stiffened when she heard the word ¡®pregnant.¡¯ Then, she walked over as if nothing had happened. Her movements were a little stiff and she sat down on the sofa mechanically. She let out a soft ¡± Oh.¡± While they were eating, Anhao held her chopsticks tightly to the warm fish soup and pork ribs that Xu Yuan had made for her before she left. Under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she slowly raised her chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork rib. However, before he could hold it firmly, his hands trembled and the ribs fell back onto the plate. At the same time, the ribs soup at the bottom of the plate instantly covered the table. She quickly put down her chopsticks, turned around, and grabbed some tissues to wipe her face. As she wiped her face, she held the tissues tightly. After wiping the soup stains off the side of her plate, she gave up on her chopsticks and picked up the spoon to drink the soup in front of her. Her hand trembled slightly as she held the spoon. She was trying her best to control it, but Zuo Hancheng could see her strange behavior. When Anhao finally managed to take a sip of the soup, her trembling hands loosened slightly and the spoon fell back into the bowl. She was about to grab her chopsticks to eat when Zuo Hancheng, who had been quietly watching her unusual actions, suddenly grabbed her wrist. Anhao paused and didn¡¯t struggle. The moment she looked up and stared at him, she felt her wrist being flipped over. At the same time, her instinctively clenched hand was pulled away by him and her fingers were pulled up one by one. It was not until Zuo Hancheng saw the bloody wound on her palm that the suppressed calmness in her eyes finally cracked. However, it was too late for her to break free. She only struggled for a moment before she felt his hand almost crush her wrist. Anhao gave up struggling and quietly avoided Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. ¡°What happened to your hand?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked the obvious question. It was obvious that she had injured her own palm in the detention center these past few days. She did not know when Anhao¡¯s fingernails had grown longer, but how much strength did she use to pierce her palm? Even her fair palm was almost covered in blood. When she was alone, she had been clenching her fists and stabbing her palms with her nails. She had been doing this quietly so that no one would notice her self-abuse, but in the end, even eating was so troublesome. So, did she eat anything in there these few days? ¡°I accidentally scratched myself.¡± Anhao answered perfunctorily. She only looked at him for a moment before looking away. She could not face Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. The only thing she could feel was that the most painful and scarred part of her hand was right in front of him. It was as if her most vulnerable side was completely exposed to his eyes. However, his grip was too tight, and she could not break free. She endured the pain and refused to speak.. Chapter 452 - Chapter 452: Never Divorce (1) Chapter 452: Never Divorce (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng held her hand and did not press her. She knew that she was being perfunctory, but she did not question or mock her self-abuse like she usually did. Ann tried to pull her hand away from his several times, but she failed again and again. In the end, he could only say,¡±l¡¯m hungry¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand. Just when she thought she was free, he suddenly stood up and left the dining table. Anhao did not ask him what he was going to do, but she had lived here for so long that she knew what Zuo Hancheng was going to do. Sure enough, a few minutes later, Zuo Hancheng came out with the first aid kit. Although he did not interrogate her or make a mountain out of a molehill to take her to the hospital to get her bandaged, he did not let her continue to torture herself like this. Anhao did not say anything. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have chosen to respect her silence and quietness. He did not say anything more. He walked over and took her hand again. He helped her clean her wound and apply medicine on it. During this time, Anhao¡¯s hand was stimulated by the medicine and kept retreating. Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to retreat. He held her hand firmly. Anhao could only endure the pain without making a sound. The pain in her palm from the medicine was sharp and painful to the bottom of her heart. It was so painful that her shoulders were trembling, but she did not make a sound. It was not until Zuo Hancheng finished treating the wound on her palm and bandaged it that Anhao thought that this silent imprisonment could finally end. However, in the next moment, Zuo Hancheng scooped a bowl of rice soup and fed it to her. Anhao looked at the man in front of her without moving. She knew that Zuo Hancheng must have used some kind of method to save her from inside. Perhaps it was the legendary black against black. She knew that behind his calm and gentle appearance, there was a Zuo Hancheng that she did not know at all. A Zuo Hancheng that was so terrifying that even Gu Yiqi and his family could not trap him. She didn¡¯t move until the food was already in her mouth. Then, she obediently lowered her head and ate without resisting. From the beginning to the end, Anhao was extremely obedient. As her palms were bandaged and could not come into contact with water, Zuo Hancheng told her to sit down obediently and not do anything. She sat quietly at the dining table and did not touch anything, not even the new phone she bought. Her phone was smashed by those people when she was trapped with Rong Qian. Although she had gotten her phone number back and saw many missed calls when she came out today, it was always on silent mode. She didn¡¯t pick up anyone¡¯s calls or messages. Zuo Hancheng fed her fruits and she ate them. Zuo Hancheng asked her to watch the television to divert her attention, so she obediently went to watch the television. Zuo Hancheng told her to call Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, to tell her that she was safe. When she called, Xu Yuan¡¯s plane had just landed and she was about to take the next flight to America. Anhao was grateful for Mother Zuo¡¯s comfort and concern, as well as the words that the Zuo family would definitely stand behind her no matter what happened. She also answered her questions obediently. Zuo Hancheng told her to take a shower, so she went to take a shower. As her hands could not touch water, when he helped her to get changed, his hand accidentally touched her skin. Anhao, who had been silent all this while, moved back a little reluctantly. Zuo Hancheng could tell that she was resisting and avoiding his touch. She even seemed to be a little sensitive, but he did not say anything. After helping her into the bathtub, he asked her if she needed any help. Anhao sat quietly in the bathtub and raised her bandaged hands to the side to avoid touching the water. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll just soak myself. I¡¯ll call you if I need anything.¡± The quiet and obedient Anhao was not her normal self. Zuo Hancheng looked at the strange calmness in her eyes and tested the temperature of the water around her again. He got up and left, leaving her in the bathroom. After that, Anhao obediently allowed Zuo Hancheng to dry her hair and let him take a thermometer to measure her body temperature so that she wouldn¡¯t have a fever due to the wound on her palm. She obediently stayed on the first floor and did not go to the second floor to sleep. When Zuo Hancheng told her to rest, she obediently went into the bedroom and lay on the bed to sleep. Even when Zuo Hancheng pulled her into his embrace, Anhao only stiffened for a moment. She did not resist too much and remained as still as a human doll. Anhao¡¯s body was very cold and stiff. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm gradually tightened, he could feel the coldness and stiffness of her body through their clothes. However, even though she was obviously very reluctant, she did not resist. She did not make a big fuss or jump up and try to find her so-called free space on the second floor like usual. That was how quiet she was. Whether she liked it or not, whether she accepted it or not, whether she rejected it or not, she accepted it quietly. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s comforting kiss landed on the corner of her mouth, she reacted a little too much. It was as if her entire body had frozen. She did not move at all, but she finally turned her head slightly to avoid his kiss. This wasn¡¯t how Anhao, the little tyrant of the world, should act. He knew that Anhao was resisting his intimacy and he knew that he couldn¡¯t do anything when she was pregnant, but she refused to say anything. Zuo Hancheng deliberately kissed her small earlobe when she turned her head away. When Anhao suddenly froze and did not dare to move, his palm had already unbuttoned her pajamas one by one. The beginning of peace, no movement, the body is stiff, like a stone, even in the eyes, there is a moment of confusion, in the mind there are many different images flashing by. It was not until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her lips that his lips, which were gradually turning hot, went deep into her mouth before she could resist. The moment his lips parted, Anhao¡¯s entire body suddenly tensed up. She raised her hand that had been obediently motionless all this while, and a weak resistance was placed between their bodies. However, her resistance was very weak, and it was only a slight resistance in the middle. However, there was obvious repulsion in her eyes. Her hand was still wrapped in gauze, so her fingers were not very flexible. She could only stick stiffly to his burning chest, and there seemed to be some forbearance in her eyes. How could he act as if nothing had happened? In fact, she should have been the one who was killed by the car that day. Perhaps she should have been taken away by those people with Rong Qian. She should not have rushed out with all her might. She should not have driven the car out of the crowd and escaped the danger zone to the hotel so accurately. Perhaps without those things, everything that happened later would not have happened. Sensing Anhao¡¯s silent resistance, Zuo Hancheng, who had initially only been testing her out because he noticed her strange behavior, paused for a moment. The next moment, when Anhao slowly turned her head away from him, he kissed her like a storm.. Chapter 453 - Chapter 453: Never Divorce (2) Chapter 453: Never Divorce (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fierce kiss was a little unbearable for Anhao. She had not eaten much in the past few days, and her mental state had not been very good. She could not breathe for a moment because of his sudden fierce and fierce kiss. Her body trembled slightly in his embrace. When his lips moved to her ear and kissed her ambiguously, all the resistance and humiliation she felt in her heart gradually became unbearable. She bit her lips tightly and refused to let herself make a sound. However, Zuo Hancheng was getting more and more deliberate. He had long been familiar with the sensitive spots on her body. Every caress and kiss between his palms made her tremble uncontrollably. She hated herself more and more for not being able to control herself in his arms. However, the more uncontrollable she was, the more serious the waves in her heart became. When his hand had already reached into her pajamas and directly invaded the two lumps of softness in front of her chest, Anhao suddenly arched her body and curled up in an attempt to avoid it, while she whispered two words, ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not see her or hear her voice. He continued with his original intention. The moment Anhao curled up, he took the opportunity to pull her pajama pants down. His hot lips kissed her sensitive ears again when she lowered her head to avoid his kiss. As Anhao was avoiding him carefully because of her sensitivity, his lips and tongue repeatedly poked her ears until Anhao was unable to avoid him and her legs were easilv Dushed awav bv him. When his hands were searching for her warmest part as if he was punishing her, she suddenly stiffened and wanted to escape from his embrace. However, she could not hide from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s obvious attempt to shake her off her calm. He deliberately wanted her to return to her former self, to make her lose her mind, even if she refused him sternly or jumped up and scolded him for being shameless and exploiting her on her first day out. Even if she cried and vented all the emotions in her heart. Obviously, the second method was the most suitable for Anhao, but today, she seemed to have completely escaped from her past. She could only grit her teeth and endure the feeling of her body being teased by him until she could no longer control herself. Just as Zuo Hancheng continued to deliberately make her react, Anhao suddenly slammed her bandaged hand on the crystal lamp on the bedside table. The force of the knock was too sudden and too full of strength. It was Anhao¡¯s resistance that spread out from her bones. The moment the loud sound was heard, Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned to look at Anhao¡¯s bloody hands and the bandages that were dyed red in an instant. The crystal table lamp fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces. The already dim yellow light in the bedroom instantly dimmed. One could only vaguely see the blood on Anhao¡¯s hand spreading along the cabinet and the edge of the bed. It was obvious that this was Anhao¡¯s temper, but she did not choose to turn the world upside down. She endured it alone and even used the most useless method in the past! Self-harm! She was abusing herself! She had only chosen to use this method to hurt herself these past few days! When Zuo Hancheng saw the blood that was gradually spreading downwards, his suppressed calmness was finally shattered by her cruel self-torture. The veins on his forehead almost popped. He suddenly pulled Anhao up from the bed, who was staring at the ceiling like a dead fish. He held her shoulders tightly and looked at the silence in her eyes.¡±Gu Anhao! Is this the only way you can feel happy?! His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, as if he could not wait to tear her into pieces. Anhao endured the pain in her shoulder and looked at him quietly. She saw Zuo Hancheng, who had been respecting her emotions and cooperating with her to calm the whole thing down. She saw that he was finally completely angered by her. Her eyes were still empty and gray. She raised her bloodstained hand to wipe her nose, ignoring the blood on her face and body, and said softly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± It was not that she did not remember Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kindness to her, nor did she forget everything that Zuo Hancheng had given her. She would never forget everything that Zuo Hancheng had given her in this lifetime. However, at this moment, she did not know what else to say other than being sorry. Since she had already decided on something, she did not know what else she could do to appease Zuo Hancheng¡¯s anger. Or perhaps, from now on, everything she was going to do would slowly push him to the limit until he could no longer bear it. However, he had already chosen this step. More importantly, if she had not stopped him in this way, she would have been out of breath. She was almost out of breath now. The room was filled with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temperature. However, this place that she used to like and had adapted to the most now made her feel at a loss as soon as she stepped in. This time, Zuo Hancheng did not immediately go to get the first aid kit like he did when he saw the wound on her palm. Instead, he held her shoulder tightly and looked at the emptiness and silence in her eyes. He allowed the blood on Anhao¡¯s hand to dye half of the bed red until Anhao slowly closed her eyes. Her lips were a little pale as she begged softly, ¡°I¡¯m so sleepy¡­l want to sleep¡­ Her pleading voice made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitch. Other than obediently listening to him, obediently letting him control her, quietly staying in one place, or constantly apologizing to everyone, she seemed to have lost her original self. It was as if she was just a shell that could move and eat. Zuo Hancheng saw that her hand had been cut by the crystal table lamp when she was tapping on the table lamp. Blood was still flowing to the bed. Zuo Hancheng suddenly let go of her. Anhao lost her support for a moment. She swayed slightly on the bed and barely managed to sit still. When she looked up, she saw Zuo Hancheng walking out without looking back. Her gaze slowly moved down again and saw two A4-sized pieces of paper beside the lamp. They looked very familiar. When she saw that it was the divorce agreement that she had asked Wenner to pass to Zuo Hancheng, and the moment she saw the signed divorce agreement on the ground with a corner stained red with blood, she immediately got out of bed and rushed over at her fastest speed. She did not look at the crystal fragments around the bed. Her face turned pale when she felt the pain as soon as her feet stepped on the ground. However, she endured the pain and reached out to pick up the divorce agreement that was already stained with blood on the ground. She hugged it like a treasure¡­ Holding the two pieces of paper tightly, Zuo Hancheng, who was about to call the doctor, turned around and saw this scene.. Chapter 454 - Chapter 454: Never Divorce (3) Chapter 454: Never Divorce (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao stepped on the crystal shards all over the floor as if she could not feel the pain. Her wrist was already bleeding, and blood was gradually dripping from her feet. However, she only held the divorce agreement in her arms with both hands. The moment she met his eyes, her empty gaze gradually became firm. If it had been ten minutes ago, Zuo Hancheng would have rushed over and picked her up from the debris on the ground. However, at this moment, he was looking at her holding the divorce agreement tightly and looking at her with a nonchalant expression. Feeling the coldness in his eyes and the changes in his emotions that she could not understand, Anhao knew that since he did not sign in front of Wenner that day, he would not sign it easily now. So, she slowly lowered her head and tried to stand up. However, the pain at her feet made her frown slightly. Knowing that Zuo Hancheng was looking at her, she gritted her teeth and did not beg him. She tried to stand up again. Just as Anhao was about to fall onto the debris due to the intense pain in her legs, Zuo Hancheng rushed over and picked her up before she could get hurt. Anhao¡¯s vision blurred and before she could see clearly, she was carried onto the bed. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng held her bleeding wrist with one hand and lifted her feet with the other. He looked at the wounds under her fair feet. Anhao felt as though her heart had been pierced by ten thousand arrows under his threatening gaze. She remembered that Zuo Hancheng was a man who could tolerate things very well. He was a man who did not show his emotions on his face. He was a man who was hard to figure out. He was also a man who had given her countless sense of security. However, at this moment, the coldness and anger in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were so obvious that he could not hide it. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Anhao retracted her leg. Zuo Hancheng did not know that he had to use all his strength to stop himself from throwing Anhao out of the window. Anhao looked at the anger in his eyes and did not know what he would do. However, he suddenly stood up and turned his back to her. His voice was low and cold.¡±Go to the hospital or call the doctor over.¡± Forty minutes later. Anhao¡¯s wrist had indeed been cut when she accidentally hit the broken piece of the lamp. Although the blood kept flowing out, it was fortunate that the family doctor Zuo Hancheng called arrived in time, so she did not go into shock due to excessive blood loss. However, although the wounds on her feet were not deep, they were very large. The soles of her feet were all pierced by fragments, so her hands and feet were all bandaged, and only her ten fingers could barely move. Anhao endured the pain while the bleeding was stopped and bandaged. She didn¡¯t say a word. She could barely use her hands and feet now. She could only sit on the bed obediently and let the doctor tell her what she couldn¡¯t touch or eat for the next few days. Anhao closed her eyes after she was done bandaging the wound. She did not speak, nor did she look at the doctor and Zuo Hancheng. After some time, the doctor seemed to have left. When Zuo Hancheng came back, Anhao was clearly awake, but she kept her eyes closed and refused to open them. She was also unwilling to face the questioning or concern in his eyes. No matter which side of Zuo Hancheng was in, he was an existence that she did not want to get close to anymore. If she could get away from him, she would definitely choose to stay as far away as possible. She only felt that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at her. She only felt that he could tell that she was pretending to be asleep, but he did not expose her. Anhao closed her eyes and did not move. She noticed that Zuo Hancheng had taken out the divorce agreement that she had carefully placed under her pillow. It seemed that he was reading it. She tensed up but still insisted on not opening her eyes. The bedroom was very quiet. It was clear that Anhao was not asleep and Zuo Hancheng was sitting by the bed, but it was still eerily quiet. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear, cold, yet serious voice suddenly sounded beside the bed.¡±¡±We will never get a divorce.¡± Anhao¡¯s tense body relaxed bit by bit, but her heart was on tenterhooks because of his words. ¡°You said before that after leaving the hellish Gu family, you¡¯ll be a child who has no one to rely on and no one to rely on. You don¡¯t even know your surname.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was soft, slow, and faint. It flowed into her ears like clear spring water. ¡°So, Anhao, I won¡¯t let you have nothing. We won¡¯t get a divorce, never.¡± Anhao remained silent, and her bandaged hand could not move. Her fingers gradually tightened, but she could only curl them slightly. In the end, she remained still. Zuo Hancheng lifted the blanket on her and said softly,¡±¡±Your hands and feet are injured now. The doctor said that you need to rest for at least a week. He wanted to take advantage of his recuperation period to rest and adjust his life back to its original state.¡± Anhao slowly opened her eyes when she heard the sound of Zuo Hancheng leaving. However, Zuo Hancheng stopped when he opened the bedroom door. He did not turn around to look at her. Instead, he said with his back facing the bed,¡±¡±Qi Weiran is not dead yet. Don¡¯t ruin yourself first.¡± Anhao lowered her eyes and looked at her bandaged hands. The world seemed to have turned cold and silent in an instant. After Anhao fell asleep with her body full of injuries, she had slept for an entire day and night without waking up. She slept soundly. When she still did not wake up the next day, the doctor came over to check on her and confirmed that everything was normal. She was really sleeping. She was just sleeping. This sleep was too long, as if everything that had happened before was washed away in this long sleep. However, after sleeping for three days and three nights, Anhao turned around and opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Zuo Hancheng sitting by the bed. To be exact, Zuo Hancheng was busy working on the temporary computer rack beside the bed. It seemed that he had been sitting here with her for the past few days when she had been sleeping and unwilling to wake up. Even though he had not been to the office for many days, he was still waiting for her to wake up. Anhao did not know if she had used some willful method to delay Zuo Hancheng¡¯s time again. When she sat up, she saw that the gauze on her hands and feet had been removed. The bleeding had stopped long ago, and the wound was ready to heal. However, it looked like a bloody mess. When she sat up, Zuo Hancheng heard her movements and shifted his gaze from the computer screen to look at her. It was as if she had just slept for a few hours. After he looked at her and confirmed that she was fine, he looked back at the screen and said to her, ¡°Have you slept enough?¡± Anhao gently moved her hands and feet, but she could still feel the stinging pain. In the blink of an eye, she saw that there were many memory files beside the computer in front of Zuo Hancheng. She guessed that they must have been sent by Lin Qing and Mobai.. Chapter 455 - Chapter 455: Never Divorce (4) Chapter 455: Never Divorce (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I¡¯m fine now. If you¡¯re too busy, go to the company.¡±¡± It¡¯s spring now,¡± Anhao said directly.¡± It seems like every company is getting busier and busier since spring. You don¡¯t have to stay at home with me.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her. He used one hand to quickly type a few numbers on the keyboard and some input methods that she could not understand. With the other hand, he picked up the cup of strong coffee beside him and took a sip. Seeing that he was actually drinking coffee, Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng preferred clear water or some of the teas listed in the country. Coffee was not his favorite drink. If he drank it occasionally, he would only drink the kind without sugar. However, his cup was a little too strong. It looked bitter in his mouth. She had been sleeping for the past few days. Did Zuo Hancheng not sleep at all? Anhao didn¡¯t know how she could sleep for so long. In fact, she didn¡¯t know how long she had slept either. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a small alarm clock that she had placed beside her bed at that time. When she saw the date and time on it, she was shocked that she had slept for such a terrifying three days. Sleeping for three days wasn¡¯t scary, but not sleeping for three days was. She noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes did not look tired, but his expression was obviously different from usual. Anhao lifted the blanket and was about to get up, but because of the injury on her feet, she paused in pain when she placed her feet on the ground. However, she did not make a sound. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was still looking at the data flashing on the screen. She quietly endured the pain in her feet and stood up. Where did you get the ¡®Where¡¯s the¡¯ Zuo Hancheng did not turn around, but his voice was directed at her. ¡°I slept for too long. I want to go to the toilet¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Zuo Hancheng stop clicking the mouse. She was about to say that she could go without his help, but before she could say anything, he had already picked her up. ¡°I can do it myself.. ¡°If you want your hands and feet to heal faster, then be good and don¡¯t move.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was so calm that it was as if her injuries were not caused by her self-torture. Anhao did not struggle and immediately quieted down. Her obedient appearance made Zuo Hancheng frown in displeasure. However, he did not say anything and sent her to the bathroom. When she returned to the bedroom, Anhao didn¡¯t lie down. Instead, she sat on the bed and looked at the cup of coffee beside the computer rack. She took the opportunity when Zuo Hancheng was helping her to pour hot water to take a sniff of the coffee. She could not stand the strong smell of bitter coffee. She was about to put the coffee back when Zuo Hancheng walked in at that moment. He saw that she was frightened by the strong smell of bitter coffee and shrunk her neck like a child who had done something wrong. It was as if she had finally seen those mischievous shadows on her. However, when Anhao saw him enter the door, she obediently put the coffee back to its original position. And when Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, he took the initiative to explain,¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m just curious how hard it is.¡± The sudden return to her original nature was once again forcefully suppressed by herself. This deliberate quiet and obedient appearance made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s anger, which he had forcefully suppressed, rise again. However, seeing Anhao sleep for three consecutive days, her hair was messy and she sat on the bed with a blank look after she went to the toilet, her hands and feet were injured, and her face had traces of the injuries she had suffered when she was kidnapped with Rong Qian, he could not bear to see her. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten or drunk for three days, so I¡¯ve been sleeping. I can¡¯t eat right now.¡±Zuo Hancheng handed her a cup of water. When Anhao took the water from him, she replied with a soft ¡± hmm ¡® She was really too obedient. From that day onwards, Anhao did not do anything to herself. Although Zuo Hancheng kept a close eye on her and did not give her a chance to hurt herself, Anhao was really obedient and did not try to do anything else. Even during the days when she was recuperating at home, no matter what Zuo Hancheng told her to eat or what the doctor told her to pay attention to, she would obediently eat. Just like that day when she had just returned home, she was extremely calm whether she could accept it or accept it. Even when the injuries on her hands and feet no longer hurt, Anhao obediently didn¡¯t give herself time to think. She picked up her books and papers and tried to catch up on the lessons she had missed these days. She even occasionally called Qin Feng, who she hadn¡¯t contacted for a long time, to ask some questions on the papers that she couldn¡¯t solve herself. Zuo Hancheng could help her with those questions when he was not busy, but she never took the initiative to look for him. Even if he was sitting beside her, even if he was waiting for her to ask, or even if he was waiting for her to say that she was tired and did not want to revise anymore, Anhao never said anything. After recuperating for so many days, the only time she acted like a normal person was when she secretly sent a message to Yi Zeyang to ask about Qi Weiran¡¯s injury. However, Yi Zeyang did not reply. It was about two days later when Anhao received his reply. It was a short ¡°still not awake¡±. From then on, Anhao became even quieter and more obedient, even when Zuo Hancheng sat opposite her and stared at her, even when he was staring at her. He knew that he did not approve of the way she was suppressing and hurting herself mentally instead of using her body to hurt herself. He knew that he had given her enough time to adjust, and he knew that his tolerance was about to exceed his limit. Anhao continued to look at his black eyes quietly. When their eyes met, she did not blush or look away in a hurry. She was as calm as still water. Even though she and Zuo Hancheng stared at each other silently for a few minutes, there was still no unusual emotion on her face. ¡°Do you want to go to the supermarket? I¡¯ll take you to buy delicious food.¡± Zuo Hancheng saw that Anhao¡¯s legs could walk normally, and he was afraid that she would get sick from staying at home. Anhao was obediently drinking hot water from a cup. The doctor had said that she could not take any medicine in her current condition. Drinking more water could solve many kinds of inflammation, colds, and other simple ailments on her body, so Zuo Hancheng would keep an eye on her every day and let her drink a lot of hot water. Anhao used to hate drinking water the most, especially this kind of warm water, which had no taste at all. But now, she was very obedient and drank as many cups as she was told every day. She put down the cup and looked at the weather outside. It seemed to be a rare sunny day since the beginning of spring. She said,¡±Alright.¡± After being brought home for so many days and recuperating, Anhao seemed to have not gone out to breathe fresh air for many days. As they were only going to the large supermarket opposite the Liu Jing Garden, they did not need to drive. Anhao also walked side by side with Zuo Hancheng in the neighborhood. Although she cleverly avoided Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand every time he held hers, he still held her hand in the end and held it firmly in his palm, not letting her escape.. Chapter 456 - Chapter 456: Can’t Beat Him (1) Chapter 456: Can¡¯t Beat Him (1) Translator: 549690339 The feeling of holding hands made Anhao feel stiff and awkward even when she walked. However, she did not forcefully shake off his hand and just quietly let him hold her hand. ¡°The weather is getting warmer. If you don¡¯t plan to go back to school soon, I can take some time to go out with you.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about her stiffness and her rejection of holding hands. He continued to hold her small hand and held it in his palm. ¡°It¡¯s been so long since school started. I¡¯ve only been in school for a few days, and so many things have happened. I¡¯ve also missed so many days of classes. If I go back now to make up for my mistakes, I might make mistakes in my rush.¡± Anhao said softly. At the same time, when Zuo Hancheng glanced at her from beside her, she continued softly,¡±¡±Anyway, I¡¯m fine now. The injuries on my hands and feet are much better. Tomorrow is the weekend. I¡¯ll go back to school after this weekend.¡¯ If it was in the past, after so many things had happened recently, Anhao would definitely be too shy to meet people or refuse to go back to A High School to be criticized. She would definitely jump up and beg Zuo Hancheng to take her around to relax. It would be best if she could relax until the day of the college entrance examination and then come back. She would just go into the examination hall and deal with it casually. However, Anhao had taken the initiative to request to return to school this time. She had even abandoned the freedom that she had always yearned for. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take you out for a walk this weekend.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not force her. As she expected, he chose to settle for the next best thing. ¡°Alright.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t refuse and said calmly,¡±¡±lf you want to go out and relax, I can accompany you.¡± It was Zuo Hancheng who wanted to take her out for a walk so that she wouldn¡¯t be bored at home, but Anhao agreed obediently and said that she was going out with him to relax. The little girl¡¯s stubbornness could really make her angry no matter when and where she was. Zuo Hancheng was so angry that he snorted and laughed, but he did not refute her. He only held her hand tightly and pulled her to his side with a slight force. Anhao was originally half a meter away from him, but she was suddenly pulled and bumped into him. She was about to step aside when Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand and put his arm around her shoulder before she could move away. He held her in his arms as if he was completely possessive of her. At the same time, his large palm gently caressed her shoulder.¡±Alright, accompany me.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She lowered her head and looked at his hand on her shoulder. She felt the familiar warmth in his arms, but she still forced herself to retreat a little. Even if she couldn¡¯t completely break away from his arm, at least she didn¡¯t completely rely on him. Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice her actions. As Anhao was still trying to break free unnaturally, he put down his hand and continued to hold her hand. He did not force her to get close to him. Just before they walked out of the Gilded Scenery Garden, Zuo Hancheng, who had not spoken a word throughout the entire journey, suddenly held her fingers in his palm one by one. At the same time, he increased his grip. When Anhao looked at his side profile in pain and confusion, Zuo Hancheng said casually,¡±¡±Silence is the best form of revenge. Anhao, isn¡¯t your retaliation arc a little too long?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She suddenly stopped and was about to pull her hand out of his palm. Zuo Hancheng did not allow her to pull it out. Instead, he tightened his grip on it and looked back at Anhao under her cold gaze.¡±¡±How long do you want to hurt each other in this way? Is this how you shut yourself off and reject when your bottom line is crossed?¡± Anhao had already witnessed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s patience for so many days. At this moment, there was still no anger in his voice. He just looked at her as if he wanted to reach into her soul through her eyes and pull Gu An out of her heart. Anhao looked at him and did not say anything at first. When Zuo Hancheng suddenly pulled her gently and she crashed into his arms, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly took a step back. At the same time, she reached out to push his hand away from her waist. Her eyes were a little stiff as she whispered in front of him, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to the supermarket?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her. It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t see that Anhao¡¯s life experiences had turned her into a living hedgehog. Although he had almost pulled out all her thorns, the moment something that she couldn¡¯t accept or even face a mental breakdown happened, those thorns would grow out of her body. One by one, the thorns couldn¡¯t be seen or touched, and they couldn¡¯t be pulled out. However, those thorns only pierced into her body and hurt herself, but she didn¡¯t make a sound. She used this method to reject everything. It was as if he had rejected the entire world. Anhao could clearly see the anger in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, but he still held her hand in his. It was as if they had not said anything just now. It was as if they had just walked out of the house in peace and quiet. He endured his anger towards her, and there was a faint smile on his lips that she could not understand. That smile was accommodating and indulgent towards her. Zuo Hancheng held her hand and walked out of the main gate of the Liujing Garden district as if nothing had happened. She was about to cross the road directly to the large supermarket chain across the street, but just as she walked out of the district, Anhao saw a red sports car parked by the roadside. The sports car was obviously very expensive and feminine. What really attracted her was not the car, but the car door that opened the moment they stepped out. The person who got out of the car made Anhao stop in her tracks. Anhao¡¯s eyes were extremely silent when she met Rong Xue¡¯s gaze. Rong Xue got out or tne car ana walKea qmcKIY towaras tnem. Annao watcnea Kong xue approach her step by step. She silently tried to pull her hand away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. However, Zuo Hancheng was already prepared for this. He held her hand tightly before she could break free. At the same time, he looked at Rong Xue who was walking over calmly. He had no intention of greeting her, nor did he intend to let Anhao escape. Seeing that she could not break free, Anhao realized that there were still many people walking back and forth in front of the residential area. Rong Xue was already approaching. She could not go too far, so when she gave up struggling, she chose to quietly watch Rong Xue approach. There was no trace of anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to splash boiling water on someone¡¯s face. Rong Xue had not been able to contact Zuo Hancheng for the past few days. She had gone to Shengling Group several times and found out that Zuo Hancheng had not gone to the company. Other than being overseas, Zuo Hancheng was still in A City, but he had not been to the company for such a long time. This was already a big story. More importantly, when she was living in seclusion at Shengling Group, Mobai and Lin Qing would always remind her that Zuo Hancheng was taking care of Mrs. Zuo at home.. Chapter 457 - Chapter 457: Can’t Beat Him (2) Chapter 457: Can¡¯t Beat Him (2) Translator: 549690339 The so-called taking care of Mrs. Zuo at home was nothing more than putting work aside and accompanying Gu Anhao at home, who caused trouble every other day and this time, she might get into a fatal lawsuit. I just walked forward and saw Gu Anhao¡¯s silent and emaciated eyes. I rarely saw her soft and weak figure. I even saw Zuo Hancheng because I appeared and was indifferent standing in the same place. I was faintly arguing with him. I was safe and protected by his side. This kind of gentle and protective attitude, which clearly showed that she was already on the opposite side of him and did not intend to have any more interactions with him, made Rong Xue slow down her footsteps. However, no matter how slow she was, she still walked over. ¡°Hancheng, I heard that the Qi and Gu families are planning to¡­¡± ¡°Are you cold?¡± Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear Rong Xue¡¯s words. The weather was supposed to be good today, but now it was a little gloomy because of the unstable weather in spring. A cool breeze blew in, and he lowered his eyes to look at Anhao, who was still and quiet. ¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡± Anhao stared at Rong Xue without blinking. No one could tell whether Anhao was happy or angry, but her eyes did not leave Rong Xue. When she spoke, her voice was clear and emotionless. Be ignored, be completely, be able to see the snow, in the eyes, have a few points of difficulty to suppress, be unwilling, be sad, but that time, Zuo Hancheng has clearly been able to live, say clearly, she knows, now, if again, chase, don¡¯t let go, say only, in exchange for a complete disregard. However, she had kissed him that time. She remembered that Gu Anhao had run out because she had seen their intimate kiss. She thought that Gu Anhao would fall out with Zuo Hancheng because of this. After all, Gu Anhao would not tolerate it. However, Gu Anhao had hit someone with her car that day. Gu Anhao had been left alone and helpless. Zuo Hancheng had never abandoned Gu Anhao. He had even used his connections to save Gu Anhao from that accident at all costs. The divorce drama that she had been waiting for so long was actually presented in front of her in such a way. Although Gu Anhao seemed to have changed into a different person, she stood quietly beside Zuo Hancheng. It seemed that she had not fallen out with him at all. Even if Zuo Hancheng would not easily reunite with her, as long as Gu Anhao did not exist, as time passed, he would be able to break through with sincerity. She knew Zuo Hancheng too well. It was difficult for him to open his heart to a stranger he had just met, and it was also difficult for him to let others get close to him. Therefore, those women who admired him usually failed because they could not even see him once. This was Rong Xue¡¯s biggest bargaining chip. Because she and Zuo Hancheng had a past, and because Zuo Hancheng knew her well, so as long as Gu An¡¯s good side did not exist, as long as she stayed by his side for a little longer, he would always see her good side again. But Gu Anhao was still here! She had actually hit someone with her car and Qi Weiran had not woken up yet, but she, Gu Anhao, could still stay by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side with a clear conscience! She was a troublemaker through and through. Ever since she appeared by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, she had been causing him trouble. Yet, it was so difficult to remove her from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side! Rong Xue suppressed the surging sourness in her heart. She glanced at Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao¡¯s hands that were holding each other¡¯s hands, and her eyes stung. She quickly looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear and indifferent eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for you ever since I found out about the method that you used to forcefully bring Gu Anhao out. Hancheng, you¡¯ve never been such an impulsive person. Are you really going to ignore the consequences? The Qi and Gu families were involved in both the military and the government! No matter how stable your foundation here is, no matter how much you plan and control it, you probably won¡¯t be able to retreat unscathed when faced with such a huge autocratic system in the country!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes moved slightly after hearing Rong Xue¡¯s words, but she did not say anything or ask any questions. She guessed that Zuo Hancheng must have used some methods that she had not expected. She also guessed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s methods were not simple. She had felt the murderous intent hidden under his seemingly calm and unperturbed appearance more than once. It was just that Zuo Hancheng was too good at hiding his power. Perhaps he had already learned how to hide his power when he brought Shengling Group to China¡¯s business world five years ago. Although Anhao was not sure what exactly had happened, she could still hear something fishy from Rong Xue¡¯s words. ¡°Whether or not we can retreat in one piece depends on our own abilities. It¡¯s not something that can be concluded with just one sentence from you.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes remained cold and indifferent. Before Rong Xue could continue, he said,¡±¡±People should take care of the trifles in front of them. Don¡¯t stretch your hands too far and control too much. Why should you worry about an unrelated person?¡± ¡± Inrelevant people?¡±Rong Xue looked at him and suddenly smiled. Her smile was a little lonely.¡±Han Cheng, we will never be strangers. If anything happens to you, I will be the first to do my best and I will not drag you down again and again. I was really too worried about you, but I couldn¡¯t get through to your phone these few days, and you didn¡¯t go to the company either, so I could only come to Liu Jing Garden to wait. I¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s originally calm eyes suddenly shot out a cold blade as she looked straight at Rong Xue. Zuo Hancheng pulled Anhao to the other side of his body because of Rong Xue¡¯s deliberate provocation. He asked her to keep a distance from Rong Xue. At the same time, he looked at Rong Xue coldly.¡±As an international A-list artiste, language and quality are the most important lessons you should go back to make up for. If you can¡¯t even speak, why don¡¯t you go back and cultivate for a few more years?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at the mocking look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes in disbelief. When the two of them were drunk that day, even though he was cold to her, there was still a trace of warmth. He did not completely reject her approach, and the warmth on his lips was still there. Zuo Hancheng held Gu Anhao¡¯s hand and turned around to walk to the opposite road. He looked so gentle and low-key, as if he was just accompanying his wife to the supermarket! Rong Xue¡¯s understanding of Zuo Hancheng had been shattered time and time again. She suddenly took two steps back weakly. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back view, which was so patient and caring towards Anhao. She suddenly laughed, but her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at his back and muttered,¡±¡±ls it only when you¡¯re drunk that you¡¯re truly sober? I can only see the warmth of the past when you¡¯re drunk.. I can only feel your warmth in your arms when you¡¯re drunk¡­¡± Chapter 458 - Chapter 458: Can ‘t Beat Him (3) Chapter 458: Can ¡®t Beat Him (3) Translator: 549690339 Even though she knew how deliberate her words were, Anhao still stopped in her tracks. Of course, she and Zuo Hancheng had already walked to the side of the road. It was inevitable for them to stop. It did not seem like they had stopped on purpose, but she still stopped. Seeing that Gu Anhao was not completely unmoved, Rong Xue looked at her back. She really wanted to know where the greatest limit of this twenty-year-old girl¡¯s heart was. The previous few times had not been enough of a blow to her. This time, she had seen Zuo Hancheng hugging and kissing her without her having expected it or planning it in advance. Was it not enough?! If she wasn¡¯t really angry, she wouldn¡¯t have driven Rong Qian¡¯s car and left like crazy. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that he couldn¡¯t maintain his rationality due to his emotions, the car accident wouldn¡¯t have happened. So Gu Anhao, you can no longer enjoy being by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side with a clear conscience. Why do you still want to occupy Zuo Hancheng? Even the posture of holding hands is so forced and stiff. Why do you still want to maintain a relationship with him? However, Anhao only stopped by the roadside for a few seconds before she crossed the road with Zuo Hancheng because the traffic on the road was gradually decreasing. As Rong Xue watched them leave, her gaze finally left Anhao and turned to Zuo Hancheng. Every time she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gentleness and indulgence when he tolerated Gu Anhao¡¯s silence and stubbornness, she felt as if thorns were growing in her heart. A hug was a hug, and a kiss was a kiss. With Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personality, he would not deny what happened after he got drunk that day. After all, no matter how he explained it, it still happened in front of Anhao. He wouldn¡¯t explain, so the knot in Anhao¡¯s heart definitely wouldn¡¯t be untied. Even if he did explain, the scene that happened in front of her wouldn¡¯t be easily erased. This was an unsolvable problem. Once a person had a real knot in their heart, it would not be removed no matter what. Moreover, it was someone with Gu Anhao¡¯s personality. However, she was surprised that Gu Anhao did not turn things upside down with Zuo Hancheng. This strange calmness was really incomprehensible. She was anxious, but she could not add fuel to the fire. After all, Zuo Hancheng would not even give her a chance to get close to him anymore. Where could she get her anger from? When they entered the supermarket, Anhao pushed a shopping cart as if nothing had happened. Zuo Hancheng walked beside her and helped her push the cart. Anhao turned around and saw that there was a new boutique pajamas shop just outside the supermarket. She remembered that her pajamas were still in winter, but it was already spring. After all, it would be summer soon, so she should change into another set. So she pushed the shopping cart directly to the pajamas boutique in the supermarket. Zuo Hancheng saw that she was going to buy pajamas, so he let her go in and choose her own clothes. He stood outside the door and watched her push the shopping cart back and forth to choose clothes. Suddenly, his phone rang. He took out his phone and glanced at it. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was as calm as a lake. Anhao had already walked to the innermost part of the pajamas shop. He turned around and picked up the phone. After hearing the situation from the person on the other end of the phone, Zuo Hancheng looked up at the maternal and infant items area not far away. His eyes were calm, and there was no unusual emotion in them. Anhao had been looking for pajamas for a long time but she could not find anything she liked. She pushed the empty shopping cart out and saw Zuo Hancheng on the phone. However, before she could hear the conversation between him and the person on the other end of the phone, he had already hung up before she walked into the pajamas shop. At the same time, as if he had already noticed that she had walked out, he turned around and looked at her. His familiar black eyes were as calm as ever, but no matter where Zuo Hancheng stood, he was always the center of attention, even if he just turned around to look at her. The sales assistant in the pajamas shop was already blushing because of the tall and cold man at the door. She wanted to strike up a conversation with him. However, when Anhao walked out, Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on the shopping cart in front of her. The way he naturally pushed the cart for her looked like he was accompanying his beloved woman to the supermarket. The sales assistant in the pajamas shop was instantly heartbroken. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you buy it?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked when he saw nothing in the shopping cart. ¡°Nothing I particularly like.¡± Anhao allowed him to push the shopping cart for her and obediently followed behind him.¡±¡±lf you have something to do, go ahead. You really don¡¯t have to accompany me. Recently, you have been staying with me at home for many days. Even if it was a rare long vacation, it wouldn¡¯t be this long.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not speak at first. After a short silence, he said in a low voice,¡±¡±Do you want to go over there and take a look?¡± Anhao turned to look in the direction he was pointing at. She saw that it was a large new area for pregnancy and baby products in the supermarket. A small crack appeared on her calm face, but she turned her head in the opposite direction. She had just turned around and taken two steps when she felt a tight grip around her waist. She was suddenly pulled back by Zuo Hancheng. At the same time, he did not mind the envious and ambiguous gazes of the people around him as he pulled her into his arms and forced her to walk in the direction of the pregnant area. ¡°I want to buy some snacks!¡± Anhao struggled for a while and refused to go to that place. However, Zuo Hancheng had made it clear that he already knew that she was pregnant. His attitude was very clear. This time, he did not give in to her just because she was quiet and obedient. Instead, he forcefully brought her over. ¡°We¡­¡± Anhao took a step back unnaturally as soon as she approached the pregnant area. However, before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng picked up a radiation-proof dress for pregnant women and took a look at it. At the same time, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve told you a long time ago to eat less snacks. Now, you can¡¯t eat anymore. It¡¯s not good for you and your child.¡± As he spoke, Zuo Hancheng calmly placed the anti-radiation skirt back on the shelf. Anhao almost choked on her breath. She could only stare at Zuo Hancheng, who was strolling in the pregnant area and studying the necessary items for pregnant women. The lake in her heart, which she had tried hard to suppress and calm down for the past few days, was filled with waves. Actually, it shouldn¡¯t be that strange. He was Zuo Hancheng. There was nothing he could not find out. Besides, after she went to the hospital with Chunchun and the others for a checkup, the test results and diagnosis results were all in the school dormitory. She had been locked up recently because of the car accident. Coupled with the suspicion of murder, she would definitely be investigated. The matter of going to the hospital for a check-up had only happened recently, so it was easy for others to find out. Moreover, nothing could escape Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. Although he did not reveal anything, he was extremely dangerous. Just like what she had thought in the past, Zuo Hancheng was not someone she could defeat just because she wanted to, and he was not someone she could hide just because she wanted to.. Chapter 459 - Chapter 459: Can’t Beat Him (4) Chapter 459: Can¡¯t Beat Him (4) Translator: 549690339 However, this child had come at the wrong time. She had not thought about it at all. Now, when she saw the things in the pregnant and infant area, the small and cute crib, the baby¡¯s clothes, and some small toys, she felt the suppressed peace in her heart being stimulated wave by wave. When faced with Zuo Hancheng, he still could not remain calm, could he? Originally, she had already planned to just sit in prison for a few years. After all, there were not many things in this world that were worth looking forward to and wanting to embrace. In any case, everywhere was full of schemes and dangers. It was better to be simpler in prison. At least when someone wanted to bully her in prison, she could only use violence to resolve it. She did not have to think about anything. Seeing Zuo Hancheng pick up a can of nutritious milk powder for pregnant women and reading the instructions on the can, Anhao walked over and pulled his arm.¡¯¡±¡®l don¡¯t drink this stuff. There seems to be no fruit in the fridge at home. Let¡¯s go buy some fruit.¡± As Zuo Hancheng put down the can of milk powder, he looked at Anhao. Anhao¡¯s eyes were filled with disgust and discomfort towards this area of pregnancy and babies. He raised his eyebrows and suddenly stroked her head. At the same time, he pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to restrain her head, not letting her escape. At the same time, he looked into her eyes.¡±Do you know that your current physical condition can no longer be as willful as before?¡± Anhao immediately tried to avoid his gaze, but his hand looked like it was caressing her head, but it was actually firmly on the back of her head, not allowing her to turn her face away. Under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s seemingly calm but actually overbearing pressure, Anhao suddenly reached out and took the can of nutritious milk powder for pregnant women and threw it into the shopping cart beside her. Then, she blinked and said with some anger,¡±ls this okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously not satisfied with her attitude of swallowing her anger and having having to compromise. Seeing that she wanted to leave the pregnant area immediately, he glanced at some of the things on the shelf beside her. Pregnant women must eat some folate and nutrition supplements, as well as the anti-radiation skirt that he had seen before, including some essential items. Anhao could tell from his gaze that he meant to buy all these things. He was indeed a tycoon! It was too much to buy all the things on the shelf, regardless of whether they were practical or not! However, it turned out that Zuo Hancheng, who had always been a man of propriety, finally encountered a thorny problem in the pregnancy and infant section today. He did not know what to prepare, so he simply took all the pregnancy items on the shelves. After finally leaving the Infant and Pregnant area, the shopping cart in front of Anhao was still empty. Because Zuo Hancheng was too rich and had a different status, the person-in-charge of the supermarket asked someone to pack up the things he wanted and deliver them to their door within an hour. Hence, when Anhao pushed the empty shopping cart to the fruit and vegetable section, she began to vaguely feel that her method of resisting Zuo Hancheng seemed to have no effect. It was as if he had punched cotton. He seemed to have figured out her temper. She was silent, quiet, and obedient. She used this method to disgust him, but Zuo Hancheng just went along with her temper. Although he was about to explode a few times, he still managed to endure it day after day. He would even rather abandon his busy work at the company and stay at home to accompany her before she recovered. In the fruit and vegetable section, Zuo Hancheng let her take whatever she wanted to eat. Anhao walked along the way and did not know what she had taken. Anyway, when she walked out of the fruit and vegetable section, the shopping cart was already filled with a pile of various fruits and vegetables. When Zuo Hancheng saw the things in the shopping cart, Anhao thought that he would not be able to take it anymore and scold her. In the end, Zuo Hancheng pushed her shopping cart and walked back, putting the fruits and vegetables that she did not like and did not need at the moment back. It was already six to seven minutes later when Zuo Hancheng walked out of the fruit and vegetable section. Anhao stood outside and looked at the poster beside a cosmetic shelf not far away. It was another cosmetic product endorsed by Rong Xue. The poster was placed in a very obvious position, and Anhao could still see the figure on the poster from where she stood. The Rong Xue on the poster was different from the Rong Xue he had seen at the entrance of Liujing Garden. One was a noble, confident, and inspirational goddess. When she smiled, a group of men would lick her screen. The other was a terrifying ex-girlfriend who was unwilling to let go of her despite being ignored time and time again. ¡°Other than snacks, what else do you want to buy?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s patience had completely exceeded her expectations. When he walked out, he whispered to her,¡± ¡°It seems like I haven¡¯t bought facial wash for a long time. ¡°Anhao pointed in the direction of Rongxue¡¯s poster and the brand that Rongxue was endorsing.¡±¡±l¡¯m going to buy some facial wash.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his gaze slightly. The moment he saw Rong Xue¡¯s poster, he did not say anything. However, just as Anhao was about to push the shopping cart over, he suddenly pressed down on the shopping cart beside her. Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked down to see that his hand was holding onto the shopping cart. He was so strong that she couldn¡¯t move it at all. She did not speak at first, but after a long time, she said,¡±The facial wash I used in the past wasn¡¯t very comfortable. I just wanted to change the brand. That brand looks pretty good¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond, but he resolutely pushed the shopping cart in front of her in the opposite direction. His voice was no longer gentle and patient as he said coldly,¡±¡± Shengling has a very healthy skincare brand and company. If you want something, ask the manufacturer to prepare a set for you. It definitely does not contain any harmful substances. It¡¯s more suitable for you than these miscellaneous brands.¡± Anhao followed behind him. She did not ask for the brand that Rongxue was endorsing, but she still whispered, ¡®¡±¡®That¡¯s one of the top ten international skincare brands in the world. It shouldn¡¯t be considered a random thing¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not even turn around and walked in front of them while pushing the shopping cart. Anhao quickly followed him as she watched his tall and cold back. She knew that Zuo Hancheng was already angry, so she did not provoke him. Although she really wanted him to sign the divorce agreement and set her free, she didn¡¯t dare to use such a suicidal method. When they walked to the other side of the special skincare products section, there was indeed a large place that was set up with a certain health skincare product newly developed by XX Company, a subsidiary of Shengling Group. It was said that it sold very well and received endless reviews.. Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: Can’t Beat Him (5) Chapter 460: Can¡¯t Beat Him (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had just glanced in that direction when Zuo Hancheng casually picked up a skincare product box from the shelf and threw it into the shopping cart. She followed closely behind him and did not say anything. Zuo Hancheng continued pushing the cart forward without turning back. He said in a lukewarm tone,¡±¡±You should trust your husband¡¯s judgment.¡± What kind of vision would he believe in! It was clearly Granny Wong bragging about the new popular skincare products developed by the subsidiary company that her company had invested in. He was indirectly advertising his own products! However, when Anhao saw the words ¡± For pregnant women ¡± on the instructions and usage of the product on the back of the box, the anger that was hidden under her calm surface gradually subsided. Every step seemed to have gone according to his plan. Even if it was just a facial wash or a box of skincare products, they were all thoughtful and unique to Zuo Hancheng. After buying a bunch of things in the supermarket, Zuo Hancheng threw everything that Anhao wanted to buy back onto the shelves. He said that he wanted to take her out to relax and accompany her to buy things, but in the end, this man¡¯s domineering attitude was still so obvious. He rejected all unhealthy things and finally used another healthy thing to supplement her, making Anhao unable to vent her anger. Of course, she didn¡¯t want to get angry at him now. Divorce! Her only goal now was to get a divorce! Now, this secret battle would depend on who could persist until the end! When she was settling the bill, Anhao looked at the only bottle of yogurt she liked in the shopping cart. It was a healthy and nutritious yogurt for pregnant women. When they were queuing at the cashier area, Zuo Hancheng suddenly said, ¡°¡±Here I wait for my name to be confirmed¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say a word. She just raised her hand and pushed the shopping cart to line up obediently. She did not know where Zuo Hancheng had gone to, and Anhao did not pay attention to him. After a long time, he returned and placed the two premium bags into the shopping cart. Anhao looked down and saw that it was the bag from the sleepwear shop she had just entered. On it was the logo and name of the sleepwear shop. Was Zuo Hancheng helping her pick out two sets of pajamas so that she wouldn¡¯t feel uncomfortable in winter pajamas? Anhao did not open it to take a look. She was not curious about what Zuo Hancheng had bought for her. She could easily guess that he would definitely not like the style she liked, just like the last time he bought her a suitcase. He would definitely help her pick out those pink and tender things that looked especially feminine! Anyway, it had been so long and she was already used to being transformed by him. She would not die even if she endured for a few more days. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression when he paid the bill was as if he had finally gone to the toilet after being constipated for many days. He looked relaxed and in a good mood. Anhao ignored him and obediently went to carry the bags when they left the supermarket. Zuo Hancheng casually threw the two bags of pajamas that did not weigh much to her and left the rest to him. Anhao did not snatch it from him. She walked with the two bags in her hands and wondered if Zuo Hancheng would buy her a Hello Kitty or some kind of pink girl¡¯s heart this time. He had forced those things that were completely out of character on her many times. Damn it, even at this point where they couldn¡¯t go on, they still used these girly things to hurt each other. That¡¯s enough! When she returned to the entrance of the Liujing Garden, Rong Xue was already gone, and the red sports car was also gone. Anhao recalled what Rong Xue had said about Zuo Hancheng being drunk that day, and the scene she saw that day flashed in her mind. The lake in her heart that had been suppressed so tightly suddenly felt a sharp ache and pain. Perhaps it was because of the car accident that she had not been in the mood to feel the pain for so many days, but whether it was because she was drunk or because it was another misunderstanding, or whatever, Anhao felt that she could no longer survive by Zuo Hanchengs side. Otherwise, she was afraid that one day, she would change too completely because of him. Leaving was the best redemption for her. What the hell was this! In the bedroom, Anhao picked up the set of pajamas that she had taken out from the bag. Bah, how were those pajamas? They were clearly pieces of cloth that no man could remain calm as long as they were worn! There were two bags. One bag indeed contained a set of pajamas. It was a white pajamas with some plain stars embellished on it. The color matching was very simple, and it also had the texture of a big brand. Anhao did not particularly reject it, but the second bag actually contained such a damn thing! Did Zuo Hancheng think that she had not been provoked enough? On the day of her husband¡¯s affair, she hit someone with her car and was locked up for a few days. Anhao felt that she was about to go crazy. Now that she had finally calmed down for a few days, she thought that she could barely return to a peaceful life and persevere until she could leave. However, Zuo Hancheng actually bought such a thing for her! Did he really think that she would obediently wear this kind of thing for him to see after seeing how she had been so submissive these past few days? After rummaging through the bag for a long time, Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. It was actually a full set, even with cat ears and cat tail! This was a set of sexy cat pajamas. She did not know what she would look like if she really wore it. She was amazed by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s taste! He had accompanied her for so many days to suppress her calmness, but in the end, he actually used this kind of thing to challenge the limits of her heart! How ruthless! As expected, she was the kind of person who sat in the CEO¡¯s office every day and played tricks with others. Her tricks were good, ingenious, and caught people off guard. Anhao was holding onto the sexy cat pajamas. When she heard some movement outside, she quickly stuffed it back into the bag. Then, as if nothing had happened, she picked up the sample collection of college entrance examination essays on the bedside table and flipped through it. She looked like she wanted to soar to the top in one go. Zuo Hancheng pushed open the bedroom door and saw Anhao calmly flipping through the book. He suddenly said, ¡®¡±¡®The pregnancy and baby items from the supermarket have been delivered. There are a lot of things, and there is no free space on the first floor for the time being. How about the bedroom on the second floor be transformed into a nursery?¡± It sounded like he was asking for Anhao¡¯s opinion, but Anhao suddenly clenched the essay book in her hand tightly. When she raised her head, Zuo Hancheng had already opened the bedroom door and turned to leave. So, was he really going to transform the free space that she had been longing for into a nursery? What kind of concept was a nursery? This child must be born! Anhao squeezed her book tightly and turned to look at the two bags of pajamas on the bed. She did not know why Zuo Hancheng had been spoiling her more and more recently. Did she think that by doing so, she could act as if nothing had happened and give birth to a little Zuo Hancheng or Gu Anhao? Anhao threw the book in her hand onto the bed as if she was venting her anger. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure suddenly appeared in front of the door again. She did not have time to get the book, so she could only sit quietly by the bed and maintain her stiff smile. Zuo Hancheng saw the panic in her eyes and could not help but smile.. At the same time, he said calmly,¡±¡±How about pajamas? Do you plan to try it on? Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Can’t Defeat Him (6) Chapter 461: Can¡¯t Defeat Him (6) Translator: 549690339 The stiff smile on Anhao¡¯s face almost cracked. In the end, she endured it until the corner of her mouth started to twitch. She acted as if she did not see the two sets of pajamas at all and said calmly,¡±Oh, I¡¯ll try again after I shower. There¡¯s no hurry now.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not intend to expose her. He glanced at her, who was about to lose her patience but was gritting her teeth to hold it in. He smiled and said, ¡°¡±Remember to wear it for me.¡¯ ¡°Sure,¡± Anhao¡¯s face was pure and innocent as if she had no idea what the pajamas in the bag looked like. She reached out and took the star-style pajamas.¡±Then wear this.¡± ¡°As you wish.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look disappointed at all, but his next sentence almost made Anhao choke. ¡°Anyway, no matter what you wear, you have to take it off in the end.¡± She suppressed the anger in her heart and looked up at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s meaningful gaze. After a few seconds of silence, she calmly smiled and responded with a smile. She had no intention of bickering at all. The little girl¡¯s endurance was indeed much stronger than before. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take a look at the things I bought for you?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Knowing that he was talking about the pregnancy and baby items from the supermarket, Anhao continued to smile.¡±¡±Alright.¡± As she spoke, she stood up and calmly walked towards Zuo Hancheng with a smile on her face. She did not look back at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and walked straight out of the door to the living room. When she saw the two boxes of things, she realized that there was no place on the first floor to store so many things. Did she need to prepare so much after she got pregnant? Would the entire house be filled up after the child was born? Anhao picked up the so-called nutritional supplements with a strange look on her face. After looking at them for a long time, she actually saw a few sets of super expensive lingerie for pregnant women! There were also many things that she had never seen or understood before, including a bunch of high-end fetal heart monitors imported from abroad, as well as all kinds of messy instruments and auxiliary products¡­ In the end, Anhao picked up a cute torchlight. Seeing that it had already been installed with batteries, she turned it on and looked at it. Then, she turned it off and turned it on again. She repeated this for a long time but still did not understand what it was used for. After picking up the instruction manual, she couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. It was actually for the baby to see when his belly grew bigger! What the hell was this! The baby could actually see the light of the flashlight through his belly! Did all pregnant women use this thing to illuminate their stomachs? Could the children in their stomachs have already started to despise their mother before they were born? Moreover, these were not things that could be used in the early stages of pregnancy. In the end, the people in the supermarket saw a rich man, so they took everything related to pregnant women. She could not describe how big these two big boxes were. Anyway, the first floor really could not fit them. She had just gotten pregnant. If she was about to give birth, the people in the supermarket would probably pack all the clothes and toys for the child from birth until she was ten years old! After all, it was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity to meet a rich man like Zuo Hancheng! Earning more money was a big deal! Anhao couldn¡¯t bear to look at those things anymore. She only felt that her stomach would start to hurt if she looked at them a few more times. Previously, she had been careless and did not pay much attention. The doctor had already warned her to rest in bed as much as possible and not to have any more stimulation. However, when she was in the car accident, although she did not suffer any injuries and the impact was not very strong, she was drenched in the rain, her mental state was not good, and she did not eat much in the car. Previously, her stomach had hurt so much that she thought she might not be able to keep it¡­ But this child¡¯s vitality was too tenacious! He was so tenacious that he seemed to be staying in her stomach until now. She had been torturing him, but he hadn¡¯t bled at all! She couldn¡¯t be pregnant with the Golden Steel Calabash Baby, right? This tenacity simply wouldn¡¯t stop until he was born alive! ¡°Most of the things don¡¯t seem to be useful to me now. Then take them to the second floor.¡± As Anhao spoke, she glanced at the messy things again. She felt that if they were all on the first floor, she would see them from time to time, and she might feel stifled all the time. Bring it to the second floor and at least ensure that she would not be able to see it for a short period of time! Initially, Anhao had already adjusted her mood for the past few days and had already thought of a way out and a countermeasure. She had planned to grind things out like this until Zuo Hancheng ran out of patience with her. But now, she realized that she was so anxious because of those pregnancy products that she couldn¡¯t rest at all. She deliberately didn¡¯t pay attention to these things before, but now she often remembered that she was pregnant. She was pregnant! Divorce didn¡¯t seem to be that simple, and it was even more difficult! When she saw the fruits that Zuo Hancheng had prepared for her after her shower, she walked around the coffee table and headed straight for the bedroom. These days, she had been obedient and ate whatever Zuo Hancheng told her to eat. She ate as much fruit as she was told to eat an hour before bed and drank as much warm warm water as she was told to. But tonight, she really couldn¡¯t eat. Just as she was about to enter the bedroom, she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. ¡°There¡¯s a green forest built in the outer suburbs between A City and N City. It¡¯s the cleanest and best place near A City. Are you planning to go there this weekend to relax or take a stroll in the city?¡± Anhao paused for a moment and didn¡¯t say anything at first. Then, she suddenly remembered that the mayor of N City had a good relationship with Gu Tianming, so she didn¡¯t have a good impression of the border between A City and N City. Even if it was a place with especially good air, she didn¡¯t have the desire to go. ¡°I haven¡¯t been feeling well in the car recently, so I don¡¯t want to go far.¡±she said softly. ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the city. I¡¯ll take you wherever you like. It¡¯s up to you whether it¡¯s a happy city or a department store.¡± Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng always looked harmless when he used his ultimate move. However, when he used his ultimate move, it was the most defenseless and easy to fall into his trap! Right now, Zuo Hancheng was clearly using his ultimate move on her! He was gentle and considerate as if he had poisoned her in the human world. It was as if she had been doted on by him since she married him. However, she had been restricted and bullied ever since she married him. He had never enjoyed the air of freedom. She had just escaped from the deep well and was finally able to wake up a little from the gentleness that Zuo Hancheng had personally weaved for her. In the end, he actually started to pull her in again.. Moreover, his motive was so clear that she felt that if her willpower was not strong enough, she might really swallow her anger and live with this bastard for the rest of her life! Chapter 462 - Chapter 462: Can’t Beat Him (7) Chapter 462: Can¡¯t Beat Him (7) Translator: 549690339 The next day, Anhao thought that Zuo Hancheng would at most take her to some of the shopping malls under his company. Anyway, no matter where Zuo Hancheng, the profiteer, went, as long as there was a hotel under Shengling Group, he would definitely choose his own hotel. He would not stay in any other high-end hotel that was a few stars high. As long as there was a hotel invested by Shengling Group, he would choose his own company¡¯s hotel. Therefore, if he suddenly said he would accompany her shopping, he must be going to the mall under Shengling Group. But Anhao was wrong! Her impression of Zuo Hancheng was that he had a high Godhood, so much so that it was already considered a very high class treatment for him to accompany her to the mall. However, Zuo Hancheng had actually accompanied her to KFC and even went to watch a movie with her! The conversation between the two of them before they arrived at their destination was like this. ¡°What do you want to eat? What do you want to buy? Tell me the location.¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Anhao looked out of the car window and saw that they were almost at the bustling business district in the center of A City. She was not in the mood to do anything, but since she was already here, she would definitely cooperate. She just casually pointed at the food. No matter what she said, Zuo Hancheng would definitely refute her because she had always wanted to eat all kinds of junk food. Now that her pregnancy was no longer a secret, he would definitely not let her eat junk food. Even though she knew that there was no hope, she still casually pointed in a certain direction in front of her.¡±KFC.¡¯ Sure enough, Zuo Hancheng did not drive in the direction that she was pointing at. Anhao did not have much hope either. She sat quietly in the car without any unhappiness or resistance. However, when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car stopped in the nearby parking lot, Anhao followed behind him listlessly because she was feeling a little carsick. She thought that she would just take a bite. Ever since she got pregnant, even if she did not have any serious morning sickness, she would get carsick when she sat in the car. She would not be able to stand it after sitting for a long time. Now that she had finally arrived, she just wanted to find a place to sit down. Anhao walked slowly and Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped to wait for her. Anhao did not notice and almost bumped into his back. Before she bumped into him, he had already turned around and hugged Anhao, who was ramming around. It was as if he had thoroughly understood Anhao¡¯s personality. Even when she was walking closely behind him, she would be distracted to look at the cars and pedestrians on both sides, but she would not look at the road in front of her. Zuo Hancheng had already seen through her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to go to KFC? Your listless attitude makes it seem like I¡¯m going to force you to go to a vegetarian restaurant.¡±Zuo Hancheng grabbed Anhao¡¯s body and held her in his arms. At the same time, there was a rare smile on his face. ¡°Are you really going to make me eat KFC?¡± Anhao looked at him fiercely.¡± ¡°This is the only time I¡¯m going to go to the United States.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and pulled her closer to him. Coincidentally, there were not many people in this direction by the roadside, so it would not attract too much attention. His kiss landed gently on her forehead. Anhao still looked in the direction of KFC in disbelief, then looked at Zuo Hancheng. This was simply unprecedented! The last time Zuo Hancheng allowed her to indulge herself was when she was eating at a seafood stall. However, when she was on a drip in the hospital due to diarrhea, Zuo Hancheng had clearly warned her that there would not be a second time. But KFC, the publicly acknowledged king of junk food, was 100% fatter! Zuo Hancheng actually agreed! In the past, Anhao did not feel anything when she ate it, but she had been restricted to not even a single piece of chicken popcorn for the past few months. Now, the slanderous worm had been lured out. She did not care what was wrong with Zuo Hancheng to allow her to eat KFC. As long as she could eat it, it did not matter what his purpose was. Anhao walked straight to the shop in front of her. Seeing that she was walking more than twice as fast as before, Zuo Hancheng watched her running towards KFC from behind and sighed. No matter how well she acted at home, she still didn¡¯t forget to eat in the end. He had exposed his weak spot so easily. If he really let this girl leave him, she would probably think that she had earned a sum of money to settle accounts for others even if she was sold by others in the future. Anhao often came to places like KFC after she was nine years old. It was always her mother who brought her here. She hadn¡¯t had much to eat since she was fourteen. In the past few years, she only came to eat a few times because she was with Chunchun and Huang Amao. However, she didn¡¯t feel anything special every time. However, when Zuo Hancheng was sitting in the KFC, it was obviously not a particularly low-class place, and of course, it was not a high-class place. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sitting there seemed particularly out of place. She did not know if it was because she knew his identity that she had an illusion. The international president of Shengling Group, a man who could earn billions of dollars every minute, was sitting here eating chicken wings with her. Of course, he was watching her eat. Anhao ordered a family bucket and two hamburgers, thinking that Zuo Hancheng would eat with her. However, she was enjoying herself while holding the family bucket. Zuo Hancheng only ordered a cup of coffee and sat across her table, quietly reading a business magazine in the magazine rack. No matter where he went, he could not put down his airs as a high-class person. He did not even eat KFC, let alone the taste of KFC coffee. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s frown as he drank, Anhao did not say anything. Just as Zuo Hancheng finished half of his coffee and put it aside, she suddenly stuffed a French fry with ketchup into his mouth. When Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a slightly stiff expression, she still smiled obediently with a bright face and a smile on her face. ¡°Try it too.¡± She was clearly torturing him on purpose, but she smiled obediently. Gu Anhao¡¯s cultivation seemed to have improved a lot overnight. Zuo Hancheng did not spit out the fries. Instead, he slowly ate them and swallowed them. Finally, he picked up the cup of coffee that he had given up on and took a sip. Only then did he manage to wash away the taste of ketchup in his mouth. Anhao decided to choose between Old Beijing Chicken Roll and New Zealand drumstick. Just as she was about to put the drumstick into his mouth, Zuo Hancheng was prepared this time. He put down the magazine at the same time as she raised the drumstick. He did not seem to notice her movements and said calmly, ¡°Eat slowly. I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure disappear from her sight as quickly as possible, Anhao raised her eyebrows and took a bite of the chicken drumstick before taking a sip of milk tea in satisfaction. It was rare to see Zuo Hancheng hate food so much.. She was in such a good mood that she could finish the entire family¡¯s bucket by herself! Chapter 463 - Chapter 463: Can’t Beat Him (8) Chapter 463: Can¡¯t Beat Him (8) Translator: 549690339 When she came out of the KFC, Anhao was still holding half a bucket of spicy chicken wings in her hands. She really could not eat anymore, and Zuo Hancheng did not help her eat. Didn¡¯t they say that he didn¡¯t like red meat? Chicken wasn¡¯t considered red meat, but he actually disliked it even more. This man hated too many things. Although he had already broken many principles for her, Anhao felt that it was very strange. Was ketchup that bad? She clearly felt that it was not bad when she ate it. Later, before the movie ended, Anhao only glanced at the latest movie poster at the entrance of the cinema. It was a romantic film. She didn¡¯t think much of it at first, but she thought that the male star on the poster was not bad. It seemed to be a new handsome boy who had debuted recently and was especially liked by the girls in A High School. However, just because she took a second look, Zuo Hancheng asked her directly if she wanted to go to the movies. Watching a movie! This was what Anhao had fantasized about doing with Yi Zeyang before she got married. It was a necessary and melodramatic process between couples. However, ever since she married Zuo Hancheng, she had been living a life of misery. She did not even dare to think about movies or romance, let alone the things that young couples had to do. However, Big Boss Zuo was actually planning to treat her to a movie. Was he trying to make up for the lack of feelings between them by giving her a love proposal after the make-up? He was clearly still entangled with Rong Xue. He had so many secrets with Rong Xue. He was clearly unclear about his ex-girlfriend, but he still refused to let go of her unnecessary existence. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s skin was so thick that she was shocked! It was fine to watch a movie. Anyway, it was her business to enjoy herself. It was useless for Zuo Hancheng to flirt with girls. She would not fall for his tricks. When he walked into the cinema, he realized that it was the weekend and there were many people watching the movie. However, the order here was not bad, and the environment was also a very good cinema in A City. When other couples came in, they asked to watch the latest popular romance film. Anhao, on the other hand, glanced at the screening schedule and ignored those ¡± XXX¡¯s Love ¡± ,¡± XXX¡¯s Youth Chronicle ¡°,¡± Love XX and ¡± Mysterious In the end, they chose two relatively unpopular war and suspense films,¡± XX War XXX ¡± and ¡± XX Strange Things.¡± Zuo Hancheng had no objections to the two movies that she had chosen. He just let her be happy, but in the end, he still helped her choose ¡± XX vs XXX ¡® After all, even if he had the patience to accompany Anhao to watch these boring movies, he could not stand the screams of the others in the theater when they watched the suspense movie. During the movie, everyone else was eating all kinds of zero-hour popcorn, but Anhao was so full from eating the whole family bucket that she couldn¡¯t eat anything. After watching the movie, she walked out of the theater and saw a couple quarreling outside. The woman said, ¡°Is that enough?¡± For so long, I¡¯ve been with you against my heart because you¡¯ve always been too good to me. I couldn¡¯t bear to reject you, but after two months together, I realized that we¡¯re really not suitable. Today is our last date and the last time we watch a movie. Everything ends in these beautiful moments. Let¡¯s leave each other some leeway. Let¡¯s break up.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t pay attention to what the boyfriend in front of the woman was saying because her heart was already starting to stir. However, when she came back to her senses, she realized that one of them had already taken a taxi and left, while the other had gone to drive away from the theater. Did they break up successfully? There was a young couple quarreling beside them. Anhao took the opportunity to put the half-filled bucket in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands with a heavy expression. The moment he stopped walking, she turned to look at him and said,¡±¡±We eat delicious food and watch movies. It seems that we are often satisfied by you. However, I just learned a saying. It¡¯s really good to end everything in these beautiful moments and leave room for each other. At this point, Anhao stared at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome face and his calm black eyes. He did not have any strange expression because of her words. She did not know if she could break up with him in this way and divorce him like others. ¡°So, Zuo Hancheng, let¡¯s get a divorce. Let¡¯s not hold each other back anymore. Anyway, we¡¯re both like this¡­ Barely¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything even after she finished speaking. Anhao thought that he didn¡¯t hear her clearly, and she couldn¡¯t help but consider whether she should repeat it again. However, it would be a little too low-class to repeat such a cool way of breaking up! Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng sneer and say sarcastically,¡±¡±lsn¡¯t your method of learning and applying on the spot too direct? Just how lazy are you? Why did he have to copy the original script of someone else¡¯s script when he wanted to break up and divorce?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao was choked by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. She could not refute him for a long time. She could only stare at his face, not knowing what he meant. The couple just now had clearly broken up. According to the normal script, Zuo Hancheng should have seen her determination these days and would consider letting go! Of course, if he really intended to continue being shameless, she would probably have to go through a long journey to get a divorce¡­ ¡°Who told you that the entrance of the cinema is the best place to break up?¡±When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice fell, a young couple walked out from the side and started quarreling. Anhao immediately took the opportunity to glance at her, meaning that he was too lucky. The first time he brought her to watch a movie, he had encountered so many scenes of breakups and quarrels. It was obvious that even God felt that they should not be together! However, Zuo Hancheng threw the remaining half of the family bucket into the trash can beside him. He put his arm around Anhao¡¯s shoulder and let her look at the young couples who were hugging each other as they walked out of the door. At the same time, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±What is in your heart is what you see. You only pay attention to the probability of a few thousandths, but ignore these happy people.¡± Of course, Anhao knew that most people were happy. She had just taken the opportunity to summon up the courage to ask him for a divorce. In the end, Zuo Hancheng had choked her back with four or two batches of rich girls! She really suffered a crushing defeat in front of him every time! Every time his brain cells died, he could not beat him! Perhaps the only thing that Zuo Hancheng really did not expect was when she ran into someone with her car on a rainy night. Anhao was a little unconvinced, but she could not show it too much. She knew too well how difficult it was to deal with Zuo Hancheng, so she could only say,¡±¡±l saw that the two of them broke up harmoniously just now¡­lf only people were so harmonious¡­ Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned her shoulder to the side and Anhao turned her body with the force of his hand.. Chapter 464 - Chapter 464: Cold Shower (1) Chapter 464: Cold Shower (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned her shoulder to the side and Anhao turned her body with the force of his hand. One of the other two couples who had been quarreling just now had already finished quarreling. The man was hugging the woman and coaxing her. They were kissing, hugging, and hugging. The other pair was calmly negotiating. Although the woman was furious, the man was calmly reasoning with the woman. Although the woman was furious, she was willing to listen quietly. Zuo Hancheng made her look in the direction of the two young couples. Anhao did not say anything and just lowered her head, refusing to look at them again. At the same time, she raised her hand to touch her forehead, trying to ignore the couple who were still fighting but were still sweet. This way of being intimate and hugging right after quarreling was very crazy! What show? Who doesn¡¯t know that you guys are so close? ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing to be too harmonious. However, your husband is not someone who will divorce easily. Life is not just about the current situation. You have to observe everything around you carefully. The world is still the same world, but your heart has changed.¡± The calmness on Anhao¡¯s face gradually disappeared. She suddenly twisted her body slightly and shook off his hand. Her eyes were a little distant.¡±l think it¡¯s good for everyone to let each other live peacefully.¡± At this point, Anhao did not want to waste her time in the same way as before. After this weekend, she would have to go back to school again. She wanted to end things with Zuo Hancheng before she went back to school. ¡°I only have one goal now. No matter what you say or do, I don¡¯t want to be Mrs. Zuo anymore. Divorce is my only goal.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze was too determined, but Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her once before walking past her. His gaze was so calm that no one knew what he was planning. Seeing his attitude, Anhao followed him unwillingly. He was tall and walked fast, so she could only jog along. Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her when they reached the car and she was panting.¡±¡±Want a divorce so badly?¡± When she heard these three words, she immediately looked up at him. From his tone, it seemed that he was about to waver! However, the moment she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she saw the sneer and mockery in his eyes. At the same time, she heard him say,¡±¡±Promise me a few conditions. I can consider it.¡± ¡°What conditions?¡± Anhao asked urgently, but Hancheng did not even look at her and got into the car. Anhao hurriedly opened the car door and sat in the car. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything along the way and did not make any requests. When she returned home, Anhao still felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude just now was obviously hinting at something. He must have some conditions that he wanted to say, but he did not say them out loud. After entering the door, Anhao followed closely behind him. Even when Zuo Hancheng changed his clothes, he did not even look at her. Even though Zuo Hancheng had ignored her since he entered the door and completely ignored her existence, Anhao still kept asking questions as if she was stuck behind him. ¡°What exactly are your conditions?¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to go to the washroom, but Anhao was still following him relentlessly. She did not believe that he would keep quiet. Zuo Hancheng only stopped when Anhao chased him into the washroom. He looked back at her with a meaningful look in his eyes, as if he was smiling. It was a smile that she could not understand. Anhao started to suspect that she had been tricked by him. Zuo Hancheng was a person who lacked nothing. He did not lack people to help him do whatever he wanted, so what conditions could he have? There was nothing she could do for him. Other than not divorcing him, she was willing to consider any condition. However, when she saw him enter the washroom, Anhao was forced to step back by his smile. She kept thinking about all kinds of schemes and strategies in her heart. Not long after, Zuo Hancheng came out of the bathroom and Anhao went up to him.¡±¡±Are there any conditions? If you were just teasing me outside just now, just tell me directly, lest I keep harboring hope. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to sleep well tonight!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. His gaze was indifferent, as if he did not think much of it. Anhao was provoked by his expression. She wanted to rush up and argue with him. She wanted to scold him for being perfunctory at the entrance of the cinema just now, but the complaint that was about to come out of her mouth was suddenly suppressed by her. It sounded like she was pleading and compromising. ¡°Can you give me a quick answer?¡± She was already trying her best to suppress her anger and not anger Zuo Hancheng. Anhao¡¯s way of swallowing her anger was really unique. If it was in the past, she would have jumped up in anger, but now she was suppressing her temper and trying her best to force him to be unable to tolerate it. However, Zuo Hancheng had already seen through her plan from the beginning to the end. Seeing that Anhao was still following behind him, seemingly pestering him, Zuo Hancheng curled his lips slightly and casually said something that she would never do with her current mental state. ¡°Are you sure you want to fulfill all my conditions?¡± Before, well, answer, happy, but at this moment, hear, satisfy, all, this, two, vocabulary, time, hesitate, after, look at him, no, immediately echo. This little smart kid¡¯s brain worked much faster than it did a few days ago. It seemed that occasionally taking a person who was about to fall ill from boredom out for a walk would help his IQ develop and recover. Zuo Hancheng remained silent and looked at Anhao¡¯s clothes with an unfathomable expression. As it was spring, it would occasionally rain outside, and the wind was very strong, so Anhao was wearing a bright yellow thin sweater and light blue worn-out jeans. When she entered the door, she had already taken off her woolen coat. At this moment, her entire body was tied up in a braid that was neither long nor short. She was dressed simply like a student standing in front of him, looking like a well-behaved high school student. The thin sweater on Anhao¡¯s upper body was a very simple, clean design. The only ornament was a bright brooch in the shape of a kitten on her chest. Sensing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was on her cat-shaped brooch, Anhao looked down at her clothes and brooch, then looked up at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, which seemed to have an idea. She simply waited patiently for him to speak. ¡°Go and change into your pajamas that are the same style as this cat. Dance a slightly creative dance in front of me until I am satisfied.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face in disbelief. She really wanted to go up and pull his face to confirm how thick his skin was now! How shameless was he now? Chapter 465 - Chapter 465: Cold Shower (2) Chapter 465: Cold Shower (2) Translator: 549690339 The great Zuo Hancheng would actually use such a shameless method to bully a weak woman who had a pitiful background and was homeless! Anhao stood in the bedroom, holding the nightgown in her hand. She felt her temples throbbing non-stop, and she had the urge to really grow a cat¡¯s paw on her hand to scratch off a layer of his skin! He wanted her to dance in front of him in such clothes! What kind of bullsh * t condition was this! However, it was neither difficult nor difficult! Was this a test of her bottom line and how shameless she was now? He was still testing her determination to get a divorce! If he wanted to leave, he couldn¡¯t save face, dignity, principles, or face! Anhao tightly wrapped herself in her pajamas, standing by the bed with smoke coming out of her head. It was already evening when the two of them returned home. Zuo Hancheng sent Anhao, who insisted on getting a divorce, back to the bedroom and went to the study to have a video conference with the company in America. When he was done, it was already 9:30 pm. The living room was quiet. Zuo Hancheng looked at the time and then glanced in the direction of the bedroom. He guessed that Anhao must have been put in a difficult position because of an unwritten condition he had casually mentioned. With her personality, she would never put on that dress and dance in front of him. Buying pajamas was originally just to make her mood, which had been as calm as still water recently, fluctuate a little. Although it was not suitable for Zuo Hancheng to act recklessly, it just so happened to be suitable for Gu Anhao at this time. The living room was too quiet. Zuo Hancheng turned on the television and went to make a cup of coffee. After taking a sip, he frowned. He was already traumatized by the coffee and ketchup he had at KFC during the day. He put the coffee down and went to get a glass of water to drink. After two sips, the television that had just been turned on was suddenly turned off. There were remote control buttons for all the electronic devices in the room. His gaze swept directly to the darkened television screen. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the bedroom. Then, the bedroom door was opened, and a pleasant but Persian music came clearly. Zuo Hancheng drank his water and turned around to look at the bedroom. He almost spat out his saliva when he saw it. His handsome face looked like he had seen a ghost. He watched Gu Anhao run out in her cat-shaped pajamas. Anhao had found a Persian style dance song on her phone in the bedroom. She twisted and turned to the rhythm of the dance song as she moved out of the bedroom. When she entered the living room and more importantly, when she entered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s line of sight, Anhao¡¯s expression was stiff. Her eyes were obviously unwilling, but her body was obediently twisted and turned to the dance wind until she was next to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng held the glass in his hand and did not move. His gaze was fixed on her. Motherf * cker! When she put it on just now, she felt that she didn¡¯t need to dance. Just walking out like this would stimulate any man to go crazy. After she put it on, she stood in front of the mirror and blushed! She really did not expect Zuo Hancheng to have such a strong taste. She had been fooled by his innocent and harmless appearance in the past! She danced the cat dance enthusiastically while glaring at Zuo Hancheng provocatively. Anyway, no matter how she jumped and flirted, he could not touch her now! It was common knowledge that the fetus was unstable in the early stages of pregnancy, so it was not allowed to have sex. Anhao had flipped through a booklet when she was looking at the pregnancy items yesterday. After reading the common knowledge in it, she felt that she could be even more unscrupulous! If she hadn¡¯t discovered this today, Zuo Hancheng would not have come to touch her anyway. Besides, she had been through so much before, and the baby was not stable in her stomach. If he didn¡¯t want anything to happen to her, he would not have come to touch her even if he had to suffocate to death. As expected, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression flickered under the light. Anhao could tell that Zuo Hancheng was shooting himself in the foot. She danced more and more freely, twisting and turning in front of him. At this moment, she was smiling because of the pride in her heart. Every time Anhao was about to fall into his arms, she would step back rhythmically to the tune of the dance music. Every time Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on her, she would turn her back and tail to face him. Her slender waist and mischievous tail were both seductive. Anhao realized that Zuo Hancheng was unable to do anything to her and was jumping around happily. He was like a cat that had become a spirit, running around the house, jumping and twisting, as if this was her cat¡¯s nest. She did not know where she got so much energy from, but she was not tired even after dancing in front of Zuo Hancheng for more than half an hour. Seeing that he was still standing in the same spot, still holding the glass in his hand, Anhao raised her eyebrows at him proudly again and again. Her eyes were shining like a cat¡¯s as she stared at him. Her small hands were shaped like cat claws as she suddenly pounced on his shirt and scratched it. The moment Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to grab her wrist, she retreated. She raised her hand and gave him a slight hook, her eyes seductive and full of pride.. Chapter 466 - Chapter 466: Cold Shower (3) Chapter 466: Cold Shower (3) Translator: 549690339 Dancing in front of Zuo Hancheng was obviously what he wanted. She had agreed to his conditions, which was why she had made such a big sacrifice. However, the result was¡­ Anhao was dancing happily when she was interrupted by Zuo Hancheng. Then, he lifted her up like he was carrying a bag of rice and threw her onto the soft bed. He pressed her down and kissed her passionately, almost unable to control himself. In the end, Anhao could not bear it anymore and pushed him away, reminding him loudly not to press on his stomach. Zuo Hancheng then cursed under his breath and covered her body with the blanket, which was barely covered by her clothes. He then turned around and walked out quickly. And then.. Hehe, of course, it was the cold shower that had never changed in ten thousand years. Anhao changed out of her pajamas and changed into a new set of more conservative pajamas. As she rubbed her lips that were numb from his kiss, she sat on the sofa in the living room and listened to the sound of water in the bathroom. She glanced in the direction of the bathroom. After the two of them got married, she did not know if they were torturing her or him. He had never forgotten his feelings for her, and he couldn¡¯t ignore the love of his life, so why was he making things difficult for himself? What was the need to stick to this marriage? If even she could let it go, what could Zuo Hancheng do? She was willing to divorce a rich man like him. She would rather have nothing after losing Zuo Hancheng than to hold a man who did not give her all until she died. Was it her or Zuo Hancheng who was being stubborn? Anhao rested her chin on her hand and looked at the cup of coffee that he had abandoned on the coffee table. She was curious about the taste of the coffee he had been drinking recently. Why did he dislike the coffee from KFC so much? She knew that pregnant women couldn¡¯t drink it, but it should be fine to just take a sip. She picked it up and took a small sip before her entire face scrunched up. She turned around and pulled out a tissue to her mouth and spat. Damn it, it was so bitter that her mouth didn¡¯t even feel like hers anymore! How did he drink such a bitter thing! People who relied on coffee to stay awake at work were indeed not ordinary creatures. Even Zuo Hancheng, who relied on pure bitter coffee to stay awake, was even more abnormal! Anhao hurriedly went to get some water to drink. After a few sips, she felt that it wasn¡¯t enough, so she went to get a pear and took two bites. When she felt that the bitterness in her mouth had disappeared, she walked out with her mouth that wasn¡¯t bitter but still felt astringent. Zuo Hancheng had already come out of the shower, and he was drenched in the cold air. Anhao was tactful enough not to get close to him. She only looked in his direction with the pear pit in her mouth and mumbled,¡±¡±lt seems that my performance has satisfied you. I have already fulfilled the conditions you have proposed. Then, the matter I have proposed¡­ Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her when he came out. He only went up to her and picked up the cold coffee that she had just taken a sip of. He actually drank that thing just like that! Anhao felt bitter just by looking at it. She couldn¡¯t help but grin as she stood at the side. She felt as if the bitter taste in her mouth had spread out again. After taking a cold shower and drinking the entire cup of bitter coffee, Zuo Hancheng finally felt that the fire that was ignited by the little thing that did not play by the rules had been suppressed by 30%, but it was only 30%. Anhao¡¯s voice was completely ignored by him. She could not help but walk over. She first looked at the empty coffee cup with lingering fear. Then, she looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was only wrapped in a towel. She did not dare to approach him. She only stood behind the sofa and kept a few meters away from him.¡±l¡¯ve made such a big sacrifice. I¡¯ve worn clothes and danced. Can we put the divorce on the agenda?¡± Zuo Hancheng removed the towel from his neck and wiped his hair that was still dripping with water. At the same time, he turned to look at her as if he had just noticed her words. ¡°You really can do anything for a divorce.¡± Anhao pursed her lips, but she didn¡¯t confront him or clamor. She just said calmly,¡±¡±l think separating is the best way for the two of us. Moreover, I didn¡¯t quarrel with you or cry. A peaceful solution is the only way I can repay you. At least I don¡¯t want to fall out with you, nor do I want to use too ruthless a method to¡­¡± ¡°Heh.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, if this is not considered heartless, then what is?¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously ungrateful.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. She only looked at his back as he sat on the sofa. She couldn¡¯t see his expression, so she felt that she was more confident when she spoke. ¡°I didn¡¯t act impulsively and childishly to find a man to cheat on, and I didn¡¯t take revenge on you and Rongxue. I think this is already the best respect I can show to those who used to be with us. Of course, I¡¯m still considered half a murderer now, and I don¡¯t even have the identity of the mayor¡¯s illegitimate daughter anymore. It seems that I¡¯m becoming more and more out of place by your side. I¡¯m not like Miss Rong, who is leaning softly in your arms and you can hold her waist firmly. Even when we kiss, we look so compatible. It¡¯s obvious that we¡¯re a match made in heaven¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, she was shocked by the sound of glass shattering. At the same time, he saw the glass cup in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand being crushed by him. Those were not the thin glass cups that were sold at street stalls for a few yuan each. Those were crystal glasses that cost nearly ten thousand yuan each. Regardless of the thickness or hardness, they were definitely top-notch! Anhao did not notice it just now. She only remembered that there were two empty cups on the coffee table. Zuo Hancheng seemed to be about to take the empty cups away from the table, but¡­ She was shocked by the cracking sound and was also shocked. However, Zuo Hancheng did not try to explain to her the ¡®misunderstanding¡¯ that day. That day, he and Rong Xue hugged and kissed so passionately. Rong Xue was so intoxicated. He didn¡¯t want to explain because it wasn¡¯t a misunderstanding, right? Since it wasn¡¯t a misunderstanding, why was he so angry? She hadn¡¯t even lost her temper yet! Anhao walked over and saw that although the glass had fallen to the ground, there was no blood on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. He should not have been injured by the shards. She did not say anything at first and only glanced at Zuo Hancheng who was sitting on the sofa without moving. Because he had his back to her, she could not see his expression. She turned around to find a broom to sweep up the debris beside the sofa, lest she hurt him or herself. She knew that she was the one who was courting death when her hands and feet were injured, so she didn¡¯t want to do it again. In front of a person like Zuo Hancheng, courting death was really courting death, and there was no way out. She could only talk to him rationally, and maybe he would let her go.. Chapter 467 - Chapter 467: Cold Shower (4) Chapter 467: Cold Shower (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡® Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t go back on your word. You¡¯re a CEO, after all. You can¡¯t treat your promise as air, right? I¡¯ve already thick-skinned enough to fulfill your unreasonable request. How can you¡­¡± The gap between people could not be so big!¡± Anhao wanted to say that he couldn¡¯t just ignore what he had said, but in the end, she chose to communicate tactfully so as not to provoke him. Zuo Hancheng watched her calmly as she cleaned up the debris on the floor. He did not make a sound. Seeing that his expression was as normal as ever, she did not know how he had crushed the cup just now, but his expression must have been very ferocious. Anhao patiently swept the floor clean. When she got up, she glared at him.¡±Are you leaving? Give me a straightforward answer!¡± ¡°What did I promise?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze looked normal, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. ¡°You said that as long as I satisfy your conditions, you can consider our divorce¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Anhao almost bit off her tongue. She quickly added,¡±You mean if I fulfill your conditions, you can divorce me¡­¡± ¡°I did say that I would consider it, so from now on, I will carefully consider the problems between us.¡±Zuo Hancheng curled his perfect lips into a lukewarm smile as he looked at Anhao, who was so angry that she could not speak. Anhao held back her anger and suddenly threw the broom on the ground. She felt that it was not enough to vent her anger, so she threw the glass shards that she had swept away back to the ground. They all fell at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s feet and she scolded him fiercely,¡¯¡±¡®l¡¯m not sweeping anymore! I¡¯ll stab you to death!¡± After saying that, she turned around and ran back to the bedroom. She was so angry that she could no longer maintain the quiet and obedient state that she had a few days ago. It was so quiet that Zuo Hancheng almost suffocated to death. In fact, Anhao didn¡¯t even know when she started to break her cultivation! Didn¡¯t she say that she was going to do everything she could to make Zuo Hancheng unable to tolerate her anymore? She was going to let him find her to argue with him first so that she could find an excuse to divorce him! In the end, her pregnancy was discovered, she ate at KFC, watched the movie, and even did the disgusting cat dance. In the end, not only did she not get a divorce, but she also received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s promise that he would think about their relationship! What problem did they have before? He was shameless! She had cheated on him, and her body and mind were not clean, but she could still sit there calmly and say that she was considering the problem between them! Could it be that the problem between them was that she had hit someone with her car?! Oh right, the incident of her car crashing into someone was already a catalyst for the situation. He was actually able to save her from the accident so calmly, as if nothing had happened! Anhao was furious when she returned to the bedroom. Suddenly, she opened the bedroom door again and walked out. She angrily said to the bastard who was still sitting on the sofa with his back facing her,¡±¡±lf Qi Weiran dies, I¡¯ll be a murderer! Even if she doesn¡¯t die and remains in a vegetative state for the rest of her life, I¡¯m still considered a murderer! Zuo Hancheng, you can actually tolerate me! Is it because your taste is strange or because you don¡¯t think that my good or bad is that important at all? Because there are other people in your heart! ¡± ¡°Qi Weiran won¡¯t die.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm. No one knew why he was so sure. Anhao continued angrily,¡±¡±How do you know she won¡¯t die? Are you a living god who can turn a person¡¯s life around with just a word? Or do you think that you¡¯re so powerful that even the Grim Reaper is afraid of you that you won¡¯t come and steal other people¡¯s souls? How can you be so sure about such a big matter like life and death?¡± Without waiting for Zuo Hancheng to speak, Anhao suddenly walked quickly to the sofa and faced Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent gaze.¡±¡±There¡¯s one more thing. When I was threatened by Gu Tianming back then, it was because he found out all the information about my mother¡¯s past! I didn¡¯t want to tell you because I was afraid that you would think that everything about me was too unbearable, including my mother¡¯s past. Now, I¡¯m not afraid to tell you that my mother is also a murderer. Although I don¡¯t know what she went through at that time, she¡¯s still on the wanted list of the United States after so many years of death. So, Zuo Hancheng, do you still need to keep me by your side? Kick me out as soon as possible and we¡¯ll just go our separate ways¡­¡± In the end, Zuo Hancheng did not expect that she would tell him such shocking and important news on impulse. He remained unmoved and looked at her as if he was not surprised at all.¡±l know.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice instantly choked. It took her a long time to recover from her daze.¡±You know? What do you know¡­My mother, she¡­¡± ¡°I knew about your mother a long time ago.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm as he looked at Anhao¡¯s surprised and stunned expression.¡±¡±l know how much you can¡¯t stand or how stupid you are. I don¡¯t need you to add fuel to the fire and smear your reputation.¡± Anhao was speechless for a while. After a long while, she looked at him strangely, then at him again, and then at him again. Finally, she asked in a daze, ¡°What else do you not know about me?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Was he unhappy that he had lost his privacy?¡± How could this be considered private? Anhao wasn¡¯t someone who didn¡¯t know her place. She might have been throwing a tantrum, throwing a tantrum, or even wanting a divorce, but when did Zuo Hancheng find out about her mother¡¯s matter? Furthermore, he did not seem to have any intention of mentioning it to her. So when she suddenly broke down when Qi Weiran got into an accident, he kept hugging her and telling her not to look. He made her stand behind her and forced her into the car. Was it to prevent her from thinking about herself because of her mother¡¯s past and to prevent her from taking things too hard? How magnanimous was Zuo Hancheng to be able to tolerate her inexplicable background? She was no longer Gu Tianming¡¯s daughter, and her mother was also a murderer who had escaped from America. Although he did not know what her mother had gone through and how she had successfully escaped from the American police and concealed her identity to start over here, no matter what, she was still the daughter of a murderer. The daughter of a fugitive murderer wanted by the United States. Because An Ping had changed her identity, the United States temporarily did not acknowledge her death. The arrest warrant was still there, which was equivalent to all the evidence. Anhao thought that she was really too unbearable. She didn¡¯t want her mother to die without peace, and she also didn¡¯t want others to know about this. However, she never expected that Zuo Hancheng had already known everything.. Chapter 468 - Chapter 468: Don’t Let Go (1) Chapter 468: Don¡¯t Let Go (1) Translator: 549690339 However, this did not affect Anhao¡¯s determination to not be with him anymore. She saw that Zuo Hancheng did not even look at his feet when he stood up, but he still perfectly avoided the glass fragments that she had thrown at his feet. At the same time, he glanced at the sexy pajamas that Anhao had just thrown out of the bedroom. ¡°Why do you insist on getting a divorce?¡±Finally, he faced the question and asked her. Anhao snorted, ¡°¡±You cheated on me, and I killed someone. It¡¯s good that we¡¯re separated!¡± When she heard the word ¡± cheating ¡°, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face turned cold. Anhao did not see his expression and only insisted, ¡®¡±¡®Regardless of whether it¡¯s a misunderstanding or not, you¡¯ve always been kind to Rongxue. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of your relationship with the Rong family or purely because of your relationship with Rongxue.¡± At this point, she looked at his back.¡±l saw it very clearly that day. You were still giving in to Rongxue. Even if she did something intolerable, you did not treat her so ruthlessly.¡± ¡°My impression of Zuo Hancheng is that he¡¯s a man of principles, but in Rongxue¡¯s eyes, you may seem heartless, but you¡¯re actually showing mercy everywhere.¡± ¡°Maybe you have a reason, but you can¡¯t tell me for the time being. I can¡¯t easily find out your secret like you, so I don¡¯t want to find out anymore because we shouldn¡¯t live in the same world.¡± ¡°You go and embrace the past, and I go on my own path. This is very good, isn¡¯t Anhao spoke a lot of words, but Zuo Hancheng did not turn back to look at her. The more silent he was and the more he did not explain, the more pain Anhao felt in her heart. She was right. He still had feelings for Rong Xue, but he was avoiding her because of his marriage and his principles. Therefore, Zuo Hancheng might have liked her for everything she had done for him, but it was more of a responsibility that began with marriage. She could not be a burden anymore. Moreover, Qi Weiran was still unconscious in the hospital¡­ Everything ends like this, it¡¯s really good. So why was he so persistent and unwilling to let go? After letting go, he could let go of the responsibility of marriage and embrace his old love boldly and passionately. He didn¡¯t even have to be as careful as when he was drunk. How good is this! Why did he have to keep a ticking time bomb like her by his side? Even she felt sorry for Zuo Hancheng! ¡°Are you going back to school tomorrow?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked after a short silence. It was as if she had just changed the topic inadvertently, but Anhao only realized that it was already very late. She was prepared to go back to school the next day and was also prepared to face more colored gazes. After all, before Zuo Hancheng suppressed the incident of the car crash, the Qi family had deliberately pushed her into the limelight and made it public in advance. Even if she were to come out now, she would definitely be looked down upon by others when she returned to school. But it didn¡¯t matter. She had been like this for the past three years. It was enough to enjoy the status of Mrs. Zuo a few days ago. Now, she was just going back to the days where she was looked down upon everywhere. There was nothing to be afraid of. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll go to school tomorrow morning.¡± Anhao said. Look at how calm she was now. She had no intention of arguing with him endlessly. How could Zuo Hancheng not see her determination? She was about to let go of him openly, but he did not seize such a good opportunity. ¡°Go to bed early. I¡¯ll get someone to send you off tomorrow. Also, try not to go to the bus stop after you leave the school. You¡¯ve been in trouble there so often that it¡¯s abnormal.¡± The number of times she had gotten into an accident at the train station outside A High was indeed strange. Anhao pursed her lips and did not say anything. She was a little unwilling to let the topic of divorce end just like that. However, seeing that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be going to the study, she remembered that he did not seem to have a good sleep these days. Now, he actually wanted to go to the study. Could it be that he had not been to the office for too long and had too many things to do that he needed to stay up all night in the study? ¡°Have you not slept well for a long time? It¡¯s not good to drink that bitter coffee every day. Why don¡¯t you go to sleep¡­¡± Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent back and blurted out. After saying that, she raised her hand and scratched her ear in frustration. ¡°I won¡¯t die.¡± In the end, Zuo Hancheng only replied to her with such an unbelievably cold reply and closed the door behind him. Anhao was speechless. As expected, she couldn¡¯t treat Zuo Hancheng like a normal man! This shameless man who insisted on seizing her personal freedom and refused to let go really thought that she was concerned about his life and death! She was afraid that she would become a widow before the divorce was completed. Then, she would suffer a lot! Anhao rolled her eyes at the door of the study room, turned around, and went straight into the bedroom, slamming the bedroom door with a loud bang. They had agreed to send someone to send her off the next morning. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have forgotten what they had said last night. He directly carried Anhao, who was still sleepy because she had woken up too early, into the car. Yes, of course, it was the spare car that he had specially changed to send her to school. Can you be safe or can¡¯t bear it ah, in the car, I want to spray him a sentence, say he, this man is really shameless, to the end, she still thought it was sent, MO Bai, what kind of man came to send her, in the end it¡¯s still him himself! Did he send someone else to send it? He must have sent himself! Please don¡¯t tell her that the person he was supposed to arrange took sick leave today or that something happened at home, so he had to send her off personally. Anyway, whatever he said, she couldn¡¯t resist! However, as Zuo Hancheng drove her towards A High School, Anhao felt as if she was being watched. She looked around and wondered if Zuo Hancheng had installed some kind of surveillance device in the car. Then, the device could be connected to some hidden device on her so that he could know what happened to her in school. Her mind was already filled with all kinds of magical things like Star Wars or XX technology from other worlds. Her imagination was very strange. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded in her ear, pulling her out of those strange thoughts in her mind. ¡°This isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯ve warned you to keep your distance from Rong Qian.¡± Anhao looked at him fiercely. Are you afraid that I¡¯ll cheat on you with Rongxue¡¯s brother in order to take revenge on you?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly, and Anhao immediately sat up straight from the cold.. Chapter 469 - Chapter 469: Don’t Let Go (2) Chapter 469: Don¡¯t Let Go (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly, and Anhao immediately sat up straight from the cold. ¡°You drove his car and injured someone. Now that Rongqian¡¯s car has been detained, he is also jointly responsible. If he didn¡¯t have any good intentions when he approached you, he would want to strangle you to death now.¡± Anhao almost said sarcastically that it was the most dangerous for her to be with you! There was Rong Xue in front and Rong Qian behind. There were also a lot of people in the open and in the dark around her. However, Anhao knew how many of them were targeting Zuo Hancheng and how many were targeting her. Therefore, even though she was extremely unhappy, she did not say anything. She only glanced in the direction of the school gate and said, ¡°Rong Qian is clearly the eldest young master of the Rong family. For some reason, he came to China from the United States to study. He shouldn¡¯t have paid such a huge price to get close to me.¡± ¡°At least you know your limits.¡± ¡°The Rong family plans to expand their business to the country. Rong Qian is the only heir of the Rong family. He was sent here to learn about the environment here for a year and a half, and then secretly investigate the business projects they want to expand.¡± Anhao only raised her eyebrows and didn¡¯t say anything. Rong Qian¡¯s matter was just as she thought. After Zuo Hancheng said that, he suddenly glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±However, it¡¯s not impossible for him to have other motives in his heart, so you have to be careful. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you¡¯re about to take the college entrance examination and it¡¯s not suitable for you to change schools at this stage, you probably wouldn¡¯t have to continue studying at A High anymore.¡± It was obvious that her life was still under his control. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she was about to take the college entrance examination and it wasn¡¯t the right time to transfer schools, he would have helped her change schools without her consent. It seemed that she should thank the college entrance examination. Otherwise, she would have to part with her Chunchun and Huang Amao. Anhao didn¡¯t pay any more attention to him. When the school bell rang, she pushed open the door and got out of the car. Without looking back, she ran into the school gate. She had planned to go to the dormitory to look for Chunchun and the others, but just as she reached the entrance of the dormitory, Zuo Hancheng called. Anhao glanced at her phone and then at the school gate. She picked up her phone and answered,¡¯¡±¡®What do you want now?¡± ¡°Are you sure you can adapt to the school environment?¡± What he meant was that he was asking if she could stand those rumors. ¡°What¡¯s there to be uncomfortable about? Before I met you, I was already very popular and very dark in A High School. There were legends about me in every corner! Now, it¡¯s just another charge of hitting someone with a car. Just like you said, Qi Weiran is not dead yet. No matter how much they scold her, they won¡¯t dare to point it at my face and scold me unless they¡¯re tired of living!¡± After saying that, Anhao hung up the phone in a domineering manner. At the same time, she turned around and rolled her eyes in the direction of the school gate. Why are you still concerned about her situation in school at this time? You should hurry up and care about your ex-girlfriend! Anyway, I don¡¯t appreciate it, and your ex-girlfriend is so anxious that she cries every day. Why do you have to act like this marriage is so dutiful and loyal? Just as Anhao was about to enter the dormitory, a few boys from the same school suddenly whispered behind her. ¡°Why is Gu Anhao back at school? Didn¡¯t she kill someone with her car?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Gu Anhao¡¯s background is very strange. In the past, when I heard those girls gossiping, they said that she was Mayor Gu¡¯s unpopular illegitimate daughter. Later on, she mysteriously married someone as a high school student. Now that such a big incident has happened, she can still come to school. It can be seen that her background is not ordinary. Don¡¯t provoke her. If you see her in the future, just take a detour!¡± Boys were indeed different from girls. If it were a few girls who saw her first, they might have already spread the truth about this matter far away. They might have already cursed her behind her back. When Anhao walked into the dormitory building, she conveniently went to the canteen downstairs to buy a bottle of mineral water. When the old man at the canteen¡¯s snack shop saw her, he was also surprised. When he handed her the water, he even forgot to take the money. Anhao slapped two yuan on the counter in front of the old man, turned around and left. In the entire school, only Su Chunchun and Huang Amao were considered normal. However, when they returned to the dormitory, they were inevitably scolded by the two of them. It was because Anhao had not picked up their calls after the accident. They could not contact Zuo Hancheng and did not know about Anhao¡¯s situation. They also could not go to the traffic police to see her. In the end, Anhao was scolded and beaten by the two of them. In the end, she ran to the teaching building with her bag. It was only when she entered the classroom that the two of them stopped interrogating her. When Anhao walked into the classroom, it was too early, so there weren¡¯t many people in the classroom. There were only a few boys and girls on duty. However, it was inevitable to hear their whispers and guesses. In the past, those people didn¡¯t take her seriously, so they could casually run up to Anhao and point at her nose to scold her or say bad things about her in front of her. But now, they were all whispering to each other. Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at them. When she sat down, she couldn¡¯t help but glance at the seat beside her. Anhao remembered clearly how Rong Qian had used his body to help her knock away the burly men and threw the car keys to her that rainy night. It was definitely not a trick or Rong Qian¡¯s plan. After all, she heard that the people who kidnapped her that night had also been arrested. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng had investigated what happened before she drove, but those people had indeed been arrested and admitted that they had some conflicts with Rong Qian recently. As for Rong Qian¡­ That day, he had wanted to take her to the live show organized by Tiansheng Entertainment to watch. She did not know what kind of show Rong Qian had wanted her to watch, but the scene she saw when she ran to the 18th floor alone with injuries was already wonderful enough. Therefore, she was not too concerned about what Rong Qian wanted her to see. She only knew that Rong Qian and Rong Xue were in cahoots and were trying to get her to leave Zuo Hancheng. Of course, Anhao would not fall for it so easily. However, the scene that she had witnessed with her own eyes that day and the fact that Zuo Hancheng had not explained anything after that was enough to prove a lot. On the other hand, Rong Qian was said to have been implicated. It seemed that even his driver¡¯s license in China had been revoked. She did not know what was going on with him now. She did not know if he could get away so early like her and go back to school as usual.. Chapter 470 - Chapter 470: Don’t Let Go (3) Chapter 470: Don¡¯t Let Go (3) Translator: 549690339 It turned out that it was easy to get shade from a big tree, and it was even easier to get shade from Zuo Hancheng! Rong Qian obviously hadn¡¯t solved those troublesome matters yet, but Anhao was already able to run wild in school. However, Anhao had been getting calmer and calmer recently. Those classmates who used to have an average relationship with her had been unwilling to accept it after knowing that she was Mrs. Zuo. Now that they finally saw Anhao in such a big trouble, they definitely wanted to ridicule her. However, Anhao had been attending classes obediently and studying seriously every day after she returned to school. Her level of hard tutoring was no less than that of the other top students in the third year of high school. The teachers and the leaders of the various schools knew that Anhao had been released so easily because of Zuo Hancheng. With Zuo Hancheng as a huge mountain pressing down on her, no one dared to make things difficult for Anhao. During lunch break, Chunchun and Huang Amao wanted to drag Anhao out for lunch. Anhao still had one question left on the paper in her hand, so she insisted on finishing it before leaving. Chunchun and Huang Amao had no choice but to patiently sit beside her and wait for her. They also picked up their papers and studied the question together. At this time, the other two girls in the classroom who had not left suddenly looked at Anhao. That girl was one of the girls who used to be close to Han Ru. After Han Ru disappeared, their little sister group was disbanded. Occasionally, they would walk together in twos or threes. They were no longer like a group of people following Han Ru like a female army. ¡°Gu Anhao, what¡¯s the point of pretending to study so hard? Even if you can continue to improve your grades or miraculously get into a top university, aren¡¯t you still charged with attempted murder? You¡¯re just relying on the CEO of Shengling Group to help you settle things. No matter how powerful your background is, you¡¯re still a murderer!¡± Anhao had been working hard on the last question, but when she heard the girl¡¯s voice, the tip of her pen froze on the paper. ¡°That¡¯s right. I heard that she deliberately hit someone and attempted murder. I also heard that she drove Rong Qian¡¯s car! Rong Qian still hasn¡¯t been able to clear his name. She was saved in a minute, but Rong Qian was still being interrogated innocently. I don¡¯t know what happened to Rong Qian to lend his car to her. He doesn¡¯t even have a driver¡¯s license. Tsk tsk¡­¡¯ ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange? She¡¯s already Mrs. Zuo. I always thought she was very proud of herself. I didn¡¯t expect her to have an affair with Professor Yi in the past. Now, she injured Professor Yi¡¯s fianc¨¦e. This is clearly a crime of passion! No wonder Gu Anhao already looked abnormal when Professor Yi came to our school. It¡¯s really scary. I didn¡¯t expect such a person to be around us¡­¡± ¡± It¡¯s not just Professor Yi. There¡¯s also Rong Qian. Why do you think Rong Qian lent his car to her? Is this the legendary story of a woman and three men?¡± Before she could finish her sentence, the two girls had just started laughing when they were hit on the head by a book. ¡°Ah! Huang Mao, are you crazy?!¡± Huang Amao ignored the indignant expression of the female voice who had been hit. He slowly picked up another book beside him and touched the corner of the book to see if it was sharp enough. Then, he glanced at them indifferently. ¡°Some women like the idea of suspecting other people¡¯s dirty relationships after they get married or get close to other men. That¡¯s because they don¡¯t even have a decent man by their side. They won¡¯t be able to get close to them, let alone get close to them. That¡¯s why they like to drag other women into the water.¡± Huang Amao gently patted the book in his hand and blew at the sharp corner of the book.¡±¡±lt has been proven that regardless of the time, those who are popular will always have the most loyal friends around them. Regardless of whether they are friends of the opposite sex or close friends, those who are popular will still be popular.¡± Huang Amao then threw the book in his hand forward. Before the other girl could dodge, it hit her head and her glasses on the ground. The two girls screamed at the same time and stared at Huang Amao in disbelief, who was so daring to pick a fight for Gu Anhao at this time.¡±¡±Huang Mao, you¡¯re crazy! He actually threw a book at us! Do you believe that we can show the surveillance records in the classroom to the director of the teaching office? Let the director¡­ ¡°Does the dean dare to offend us?¡±Huang Amao sneered and picked up another book.¡±Forget about just smashing it, even if I pressed you to the ground and beat you up, no one would dare to make a sound. If you don¡¯t believe me, try The two girls thought of Han Ru, who had gone missing, and then looked at Gu Anhao, who had been quietly answering the paper as if nothing could affect her. They gritted their teeth and muttered unwillingly,¡±¡±Who said that Gu Anhao is popular? She¡¯s clearly the one that the entire school hates the most¡­¡± ¡°What does it have to do with us whether irrelevant people hate or like us? As long as the people we care about and get along with always stand on the same side as us, this is our own popularity. Do we need you to like us?¡± Huang Amao laughed and added, ¡°¡±Of course, if one day you guys think it through and want to come over to carry our shoes, we can consider whether we should pull you into our interpersonal relationships. After all, everyone has a few barking dogs around them, haha.¡± Chunchun was already lying down on the table with a smile on her face. Anhao raised her head to look at the two girls at the same time. She saw that the two of them were so angry that their faces were ashen. However, when she saw the cold smile in Gu Anhao¡¯s eyes, she felt that she could not continue talking. Otherwise, if they ended up like Han Ru¡­ Gu Anhao only knew how to hit people, so she was not a threat. The key was that Zuo Hancheng, who was standing behind her, was the one that she should not offend. Moreover, it was said that A High was about to be acquired by Shengling Group. A High was originally a private school for the wealthy, so it was not impossible for it to be acquired. If Shengling Group acquired A High, then everything from the teachers to the principal to everything else would be under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s control. If that happened, anyone who dared to provoke Gu Anhao would be putting their future in danger! ¡°Go, go, go, go, go, don¡¯t argue with them, they¡¯ve always been a big weirdo in our school, don¡¯t argue with them, it¡¯s not worth it!¡±One of the two girls came to her senses first and dragged her friend out. Huang Amao raised his hand and gave them a middle finger provocatively before they walked out of the classroom. The two girls wanted to curse, but they held it in and ran out in a hurry.. Chapter 471 - Chapter 471: Living Towards Death (1) Chapter 471: Living Towards Death (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao finished answering the questions and glanced at Huang Amao.¡±¡±Did you really say those words to them just now, or were you just making them up?¡± ¡°Which sentence?¡± Huang Amao saw that this little descendant could finally go eat, so he quickly put away his book and asked. ¡°The matter about Shengling Group¡¯s acquisition of A High.¡±Anhao had a vague premonition that she had been monitored by Zuo Hancheng since some time ago. Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Huang Amao instantly glanced at Chunchun. Chunchun was also tidying up her books as she glanced at Anhao.¡±Are you serious? You¡¯ve been by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side every day and you don¡¯t even know about such a big thing?¡± Anhao, however, had an inexplicable look on her face.¡±¡±lt can¡¯t be true, right?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s true.¡± Chunchun pursed her lips.¡± However, this matter was only officially made public in the past two days. Although you didn¡¯t come to school these few days, you were by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side after all. We thought you knew about it.¡¯ How could she know? No one had told her about it! Anhao was really hungry and wanted to eat something, but she suddenly sat in her seat and didn¡¯t move. She looked out of the window and thought about the purpose of Shengling Group¡¯s acquisition of A High. It was not that Shengling Group had not invested in private schools of all sizes in the past five years, including some schools in the provincial government. Shengling Group had also sponsored the construction of a series of auxiliary teaching facilities such as libraries. Shengling Group was quite famous in the province and even in the nearby coastal cities. It was also related to the company¡¯s public relations. Other than being involved in the business, political, and military fields, the university was a good place to establish a name. However, A High had never been involved. If it were not for Anhao¡¯s mishaps in A High School, Zuo Hancheng would not have personally visited A High School many times. What was even more unexpected now was that he would suddenly acquire A High School! In the past, because she was Mrs. Zuo, the media and public opinion were more or less controlled. When Zuo Hancheng made her identity as Mrs. Zuo public, he did not want to push her into the limelight, but he did not want Rong Xue to do anything to hurt her first. That was why he made it public first to clear her name. Of course, the fact that he dared to take such a huge risk to reveal Anhao¡¯s identity showed that Zuo Hancheng was confident that he could protect her. However, Rong Xue did not play by the rules after that. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng saved her in time. Therefore, other than Rong Xue¡¯s fans, the media did not talk about Mrs. Zuo casually. Anhao was indeed well protected outside the school. Of course, other than the fact that she often met with obstacles on her way home alone, she was indeed well protected. However, the school was an environment where she could not be restrained. The students were too young and did not know the ways of the world. They were not afraid of anything. However, in this world, poisonous tongues were sharp swords. If Anhao wanted to come to school, she could not avoid being hurt by the words of her classmates. But¡­ If Zuo Hancheng acquired A High School, he would be a leader above the principal. Whoever dared to mess with Anhao would be going against their high school results, their college entrance examination qualifications, their future, and Zuo Hancheng. This was the first time that Zuo Hancheng had done something for her without batting an eyelid. However, Anhao did not feel touched at all. Instead, she felt as if she was being watched. On the one hand, it was to protect her. On the other hand, her every move, whether it was outside the school or inside the school, would be under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s control. She would be like a little rabbit struggling in a cage, unable to escape from his grasp no matter what. Initially, Anhao thought that she could avoid Zuo Hancheng temporarily by going back to school, and that she could calmly think about their relationship. However, he did not expect.. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands were faster than hers. He was already about to acquire A High School. It was no wonder that although many of her classmates looked at her strangely today, they did not dare to come to her and make a fuss. Even those students with especially good family backgrounds and especially bold did not come to her to get beaten up. After the evening self-study session ended, Anhao was still considering whether to continue the self-study session at school until 9:30 pm or return to Liujing Garden. Of course, she had chosen the former in her heart. However, when she came back from having dinner outside the school, she saw an unfamiliar limousine parked outside the school gate. She thought it was the family of another classmate, but when she saw Wenner get out of the car, the corners of her mouth twitched. Was he sent here to give her psychological guidance? Zuo Hancheng was truly terrifying with the thoroughly meticulous state of mind! Even though Wenner could see the obvious reluctance in Anhao¡¯s eyes, he still greeted her and gave her a wink before blowing her a kiss. Of course, it was just a simple and friendly air kiss. If there was any ambiguity, Boss Zuo would be the first to slap him to death. ¡°I¡¯ll go back and get my bag first.¡± Anhao pursed her lips and walked back to school with Chunchun and Huang Amao. ¡°Then who is it?¡± Huang Amaut asked curiously. ¡°A criminal psychology professor from the FBI and a famous private detective in the United States. He is now the owner of a new nightclub in City A.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t mention his relationship with Zuo Hancheng. She only said that casually and went back to her bag in a bad mood. Huang Amao had always wanted to be a police officer or a detective, but he didn¡¯t expect to meet a living detective. He wanted to get close to Anhao and ask her to introduce him to Wenner, but Anhao was obviously not in a good mood recently, so Huang Amao didn¡¯t follow her. After Anhao walked out, he grabbed Chunchun¡¯s hand excitedly and said, ¡°Detective! That¡¯s a detective!¡± Chunchun¡¯s mouth twitched and she gave Huang Amao a look to look in Anhao¡¯s direction. Anhao was very reluctant when she walked out of the school gate. From her back, one could see how reluctant she was to leave. In fact, Anhao had been forcing a smile the entire day. No matter how others provoked her, she didn¡¯t say much. Other than studying, she was studying. Other than having lunch and dinner with the two of them, she basically didn¡¯t have anything else to do. Walking out of the school, Anhao glanced at the time and then reluctantly walked to Wenner¡¯s car. Seeing Anhao come over, Wenner whistled at her again. At the same time, he smiled and opened the door of the passenger seat. He said with a gentlemanly smile, ¡®¡±Beautiful Miss Gu Anhao, please get in the car.¡± ¡°Did Zuo Hancheng ask you to pick me up?¡± Anhao looked at him indifferently and placed her hand on the car door at the same time. She didn¡¯t get in.. Chapter 472 - Chapter 472: Living Towards Death (2) Chapter 472: Living Towards Death (2) Translator: 549690339 Wenner shrugged.¡± I have the best security facilities in my hands. I have also arranged for many people to protect you in the dark. I should have sent someone else to pick you up, but I have nothing to do today. It¡¯s fine to pick you up on the way.¡± Anhao paused by the car door and looked up at Wenner, who was smiling brightly. She said coldly, I don¡¯t need a psychiatrist.¡± Wenner paused for a moment before he laughed.¡±Miss Gu, you¡¯re thinking too much¡­ ¡°Zuo Hancheng has so many people by his side. No one would need a busy man like you. How free are you to come here and help me get home?¡±Anhao did not take his words seriously at all.¡±¡±No matter what, I won¡¯t accept your psychological therapy, and I don¡¯t need a psychiatrist. If you¡¯re here to persuade me, then I might as well take a bus home myself.¡± She closed the car door and turned to leave. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t.¡± Before Anhao turned around and was about to leave, Wenner quickly reached out his hand to stop her. He tried his best not to touch her and blocked her way.¡± Little Grandaunt, hurry up and get in the car. I¡¯m not trying to persuade you. I¡¯m really here to pick you up.¡±¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Anhao looked at him again.¡± Wenner¡¯s face twitched.¡± It¡¯s just as you said. How could a busy person like me take the time to pick you up and be your psychiatrist?¡± Focus when you¡¯re driving. How can I have the chance to probe your heart?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, so Wenner took the opportunity to put his hand on her shoulder and turn her around. He pushed her back to the car door and said, ¡°¡±Zuo Hancheng saw that you and I get along well, so he asked me to pick you up. He didn¡¯t want you to be affected by the other people.¡± ¡°Seeing you also affected my mood.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t give him any face at all, but this time, she got into the car and didn¡¯t dawdle anymore. Wenner¡¯s mouth twitched. When he walked around the car and got in, he asked her before driving,¡±¡±ls it because of Mayor Gu?¡± ¡°What else? Why did you have to open a nightclub?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at her, but she had to admit that the matter had been resolved. That day, because of Minister Zhao and the other officials who came from Beijing, if that place wasn¡¯t Wenner¡¯s territory, the matter wouldn¡¯t have been resolved so perfectly. After all, if Zuo Hancheng had barged in, Anhao would have been worried. No matter how powerful he was, it was not good to have too many enemies. Therefore, it was fortunate that Wenner had been running around to put on a show. Otherwise, the situation that day would not have ended so easily. Although this was reasonable, Anhao felt that everyone around Zuo Hancheng was not a good person. So, she just sat quietly in the car and refused to communicate with Wenner, who was a part-time psychiatrist. Moreover, he was an expert in criminal psychology. If she spoke to him a few more words, he might read her mind. It was better for her to shut up. Wenner could tell that the little girl was on guard. He sighed and said while driving,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with you that you have to get a divorce? That day at the traffic police station, I saw that although you seemed calm, you were hiding all kinds of extremes, so I agreed to help you bring the divorce agreement to him. But do you know what you¡¯re doing¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Anhao was finally willing to speak, but she didn¡¯t look at him. She just looked at the road in front of her seriously.¡±l¡¯m pushing away a man who has doted on me before and really treated me well. Most importantly, he¡¯s a bachelor.¡± Wenner almost laughed out loud because of the way she described him, but in the end, he could only laugh as he drove.¡±Since you know, why are you still getting a divorce?¡± ¡°Because I know.¡± Anhao replied calmly,¡± The higher a person flies, the more painful it will be when they fall. I just want to remove the things that make me rely on someone before I completely rely on them. I just don¡¯t want to see myself fall too hard in the future.¡±¡® Wenner was silent for a moment before he hesitated.¡±¡±Could it be that Mister Zuo and some woman¡­¡± As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and changed his sentence.¡± No matter what happens between Zuo Hancheng and any woman, believe me, it¡¯s just an act that he has no choice but to put on during some business gatherings. But he has been putting on an act for so many years, so basically no woman dares to flirt with him. So no matter what happens, it must be a misunderstanding¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, nor did she bother to explain. Wenner¡¯s car did not seem to be heading in the direction of Liu Jingyuan, but in the direction of Shengling Group. So, he must have come from Shengling Group earlier to see Zuo Hancheng. It was time to pick her up from school, so Wenner was sent here to pick her up like a laborer. ¡°Look at you. You¡¯re an elite detective from the FBI. You don¡¯t lack money, and you won¡¯t lack power if you do well in the FBI. Why do you have to know someone like Zuo Hancheng? Don¡¯t you feel aggrieved to be his friend?¡± Anhao said as she looked at Wenner, trying to find a resonance with him. However, Wenner laughed. His smile was meaningful. He held the steering wheel firmly and smiled. ¡°If you knew about Mr Zuo¡¯s past, you definitely wouldn¡¯t say that.¡± ¡°What do I know about his past? I don¡¯t even want to know him anymore. ¡°Anhao rolled her eyes and turned to look at the area where Shengling Group was located. She pouted and said,¡±¡±Why did you send me here? Can¡¯t you just send me home?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo was supposed to attend a meeting a few days ago, but in order to accompany you at home, who was in a very abnormal emotional state at that time, he pushed off such an important meeting.¡¯¡±¡® Now, the British diplomatic mission is here to see Mr. Zuo,¡± Wenner said.¡± He¡¯s too busy to leave, so he specially asked me to pick you up and take you directly to the company.¡±¡± ¡°Why did you bring me to the company? I don¡¯t even know a bunch of British people.¡±Anhao leaned her head against the car window, her eyes listless. She didn¡¯t want to see anyone now, and the more people there were, the less she wanted to go. ¡°There¡¯s a famous neurologist in the British diplomatic mission. He has created several medical miracles in the past few years. He has saved more than seven vegetative patients. We don¡¯t know Qi Weiran¡¯s condition yet. We only know that she¡¯s still in the intensive care unit..¡± Chapter 473 - Chapter 473: Living Towards Death (3) Chapter 473: Living Towards Death (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao hesitated for a moment before saying,¡± The Qi family still doesn¡¯t allow any media to enter the hospital to inquire about the situation. They also don¡¯t allow outsiders to visit. They only say that Qi Weiran has not woken up yet. Even you and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s people have not been able to enter to investigate?¡± Wenner glanced at her.¡± Aren¡¯t you even willing to admit to the crime that the Qi family deliberately put on you?¡± Didn¡¯t he not even reject the crime of intentional murder? Now, he finally wanted to know what was going on with Anhao¡¯s expression froze. She turned her head away and whispered,¡±¡± I¡¯m not afraid that I¡¯ll bear any responsibility. I just don¡¯t want Yi Zeyang to lose his fianc¨¦e¡­ She didn¡¯t want her to be the one who made all of this happen. Wenner immediately smiled.¡± Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s been so many days, and there¡¯s still no news of Qi Weiran¡¯s death. That means she won¡¯t die for the time being.¡± It¡¯s just that the specific situation still needs to be investigated. However, as long as Mr. Zuo is here, you don¡¯t have to bear the crime of murder. Firstly, you didn¡¯t kill anyone. Secondly, Qi Weiran might not be that serious. ¡± ¡°How can it not be serious¡­¡± ¡°Yo, it¡¯s better to rush at the right time than to rush at the right time. Mr. Zuo is out.¡±Wenner suddenly interrupted Anhao¡¯s words and looked outside with a smile. Anhao was stunned. She turned her head abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng and the rest of the group watching their foreign friends get into the car. Those foreign friends should be the British diplomatic mission that Wenner had mentioned. Zuo Hancheng was talking to their people, and the British diplomatic mission seemed to be very respectful and polite to him. Zuo Hancheng was really charming when he was working. Even if it was just a certain kind of social relationship during work, his every expression revealed his hidden shrewdness and means. This man¡­outside, she was like a sharp blade that was hard to detect, but at home, she was like a soft hand that only belonged to her. She originally felt happy, but Anhao¡¯s mood could not be lifted. However, some things were like thorns in the bottom of her heart. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pull them out. She felt that Wenner seemed to be observing her expression, as if he was spying on her true emotions hidden in her heart. She suddenly averted her gaze from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction and avoided Wenner¡¯s gaze. Wenner, on the other hand, managed to capture her action and expression. He parked the car by the roadside in front of Shengling Group¡¯s plaza. When Anhao looked back at him, unable to bear it anymore, he immediately smiled. Wenner¡¯s blue eyes seemed to penetrate her heart. Anhao glared at him.¡±As a man, you shouldn¡¯t pry into other people¡¯s hearts for no reason, even if you¡¯re an expert in criminal psychology! It didn¡¯t matter which country you were from. Wasn¡¯t there any restriction on psychology experts in international law?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, Miss Gu.¡± Wenner laughed.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± ¡°In fact, you have long loved Mr. Zuo to the point that you can¡¯t extricate yourself, right? It¡¯s just that you¡¯re always unwilling to admit it. All along, you thought that it was just pure dependence, but you gradually realized that you loved that man to death in all kinds of jealousy and anger, so you were afraid.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression gradually became unsightly. ¡°You¡¯re afraid that one day, this man will leave you and no longer belong to you. You¡¯re afraid that those illusions that cover your eyes will one day become reality. You want to escape¡­¡¯ ¡°Wenner.¡± Anhao suddenly interrupted him.¡± I told you I don¡¯t need a psychiatrist. If Zuo Hancheng sent you here to persuade me, then forget it. I might still be carrying a life on my shoulders right now. Can we not talk about ¡°Why are you deliberately exaggerating these irrelevant things to hide the fear in your heart?¡± ¡°Did Rongxue do something to make you so agitated? Why was he suddenly so afraid of losing her? That was why he desperately pushed the other party away, afraid that the other party would hurt him.¡± ¡°Or¡­What happened to you during the few days you were locked up there? I feel like you¡¯ve been hiding something from me and Mr. Zuo.¡± Anhao suddenly reached out to open the car door, only to find that it was locked from the inside. Anhao turned and glared at him,¡¯¡±¡®Open the door! I want to get off!¡± Wenner had just gotten a new car on a whim a few days ago, and he did not want her to ruin his first accident insurance, so he did not continue. He only smiled and said, ¡°Mister Zuo said that before I personally send you to him, I can¡¯t let you leave my sight.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng is already in front of us. It won¡¯t matter if I get out of the car now! ¡°Anhao was furious and slammed the car door hard.¡±¡±ls this a new car? If you don¡¯t want to be smashed by me, quickly put me down!¡± Seeing that she really had the intention to smash the car, this little descendant was no longer as quiet as she was when she was locked up in the car a few days ago. Her little temper was really daring to do anything, let alone this kind of broken mood. ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll give Mr. Zuo a call and ask him when he¡¯ll be done.¡± Seeing Wenner take out his phone to make a call, Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡±Zuo Hancheng is right in front. He will see me if I get out of the car now. Did you do it on purpose?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see Mr Zuo talking to the British diplomatic mission? How could he have the time to look back at you now?¡±Wenner called Zuo Hancheng as he spoke. She had thought that Zuo Hancheng was busy at the moment and might not have brought his personal phone with him. In the end, the call had just gone through when Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng pick up the call from the car. Wenner glanced at Anhao. Anhao looked at him from the corner of her eyes, wanting to hear what he was going to say to Zuo Hancheng. However, Wenner suddenly smiled like a fox and spoke fluent American English. He spoke so fast that Anhao frowned and glared at him. She wanted to grab his phone. He bullied her because her English listening and speaking skills were not up to par. He bullied her because she could barely understand a few words. He actually used this kind of conversation and spoke so quickly. She didn¡¯t understand a single word! However, Wenner only said a few words before he hung up the phone. Anhao glared at him for a while before she saw Zuo Hancheng walking towards her. The door of the British diplomatic mission was already closed. When Zuo Hancheng turned around, the car drove away. As she watched Zuo Hancheng approach, Anhao¡¯s mind was filled with Wenner¡¯s earlier words. What he said about loving this man to death, what he was afraid of being hurt so he took the initiative to hurt him, and what nonsense he said. That was not the case, but she could not explain it. Winnar could indeed see through her gradually, and even see through her concealment. The car window rolled down. Zuo Hancheng looked at her in the car. The moment their eyes met, Anhao felt her hair stand on end.. Chapter 474 - Chapter 474: Living Towards Death (4) Chapter 474: Living Towards Death (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng looked at her in the car. The moment their eyes met, Anhao felt her hair stand on end. As Zuo Hancheng approached, Anhao turned to look at Wenner, only to see him open the car door. Anhao sat in the car without moving, but Zuo Hancheng had already walked to the door.¡±¡±How¡¯s Wenner¡¯s driving skills? It actually made you so reluctant to get out of the car?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. Wenner¡¯s driving skills were not bad, but she did not pay attention to his so-called driving skills along the way. How could she care if Wenner¡¯s driving skills were good or not? However, hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words that sounded like ridicule and ridicule, Anhao reluctantly turned around and rolled her eyes at Wenner. Wenner sighed and laughed. ¡°Get out of the car.¡± Anhao took her bag and got out of the car. The moment she got out of the car, she felt a few gazes coming from Shengling Group¡¯s square not far away. After all, she had been here many times before. She came here for tutoring with Qin Feng and later on, she was an intern. Even if there were few people who knew her, she would still meet a few people who had seen her before. Sensing the stares, she felt even more embarrassed. Even if Rong Xue could not win against Zuo Hancheng, she was still an active character in front of the media. No matter what, Anhao¡¯s name would still be spread out. Anhao would still be judged by others. Anhao avoided their gazes and said reluctantly,¡±¡±What do you want me to do in your company?¡± ¡°Wenner dropped you off on the way. Since there¡¯s nothing to attend to tonight, I¡¯ll take you to the hospital. ¡°As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he held Anhao¡¯s hand and turned to walk towards the parking lot. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car was not parked in the underground parking lot today. Instead, it was parked in the parking lot in front of the plaza. Seeing that the two of them were getting closer and closer to the square, Anhao tried her best to avoid the gazes around her. Zuo Hancheng had always been a low-profile person, but he seemed to be getting more and more shameless when it came to her. In the past, he had only become a beast when he was at least behind closed doors. Now, whether it was in front of his company or not, he was holding her hand so openly. He was getting more and more thick-skinned! When she was brought to his car, Anhao stopped in her tracks and did not move. Zuo Hancheng sensed her resistance and turned back to look at her.¡±¡±Do you want me to carry you into the car here?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital.¡± Anhao¡¯s face tightened.¡± She had thought that Zuo Hancheng would indulge her like he had done these past few days. He would consider her feelings because of her rejection and would not force her. But on this matter, he had no intention of giving in. ¡°The last time you went to the hospital for a checkup, you deliberately avoided me. Now that it¡¯s been so many days, you should be able to do a color ultrasound examination directly. Going to the hospital for a detailed checkup is to be responsible for your own health.¡± Anhao¡¯s resistance was too obvious. Zuo Hancheng looked at her and said slowly,¡±¡±Anhao, do you not want this child?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was so serious that Anhao could not avoid it. She clenched her fists but did not know how to answer. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want it, but she wasn¡¯t ready yet. Even though she was only 20 years old, it did not mean that she could not feel the changes in her body after pregnancy. Every mother who was about to become a mother could not have a heart of stone. Moreover, under such circumstances, how could she go to the hospital with Zuo Hancheng for a checkup? ¡°Get in the car.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not give her the chance to let her imagination run wild. Seeing him walking towards her, Anhao froze for a moment. She quickly took the initiative to get into the car, lest Zuo Hancheng really carried her into the car in front of so many people. ¡°It¡¯s so late. The doctors in the hospital should have gotten off work.¡±Anhao whispered as she glanced at the time displayed in the car. ¡°All the things that have happened to you recently and your emotions may affect your body¡¯s changes. I made an appointment with a specialist in the province in advance, so you don¡¯t have to worry about the doctor.¡± Anhao was speechless. As expected, everything was always ready in Zuo Hancheng. She had never been able to find a chance to sneak out. He did not know which hospital Zuo Hancheng had made an appointment with. He had passed through countless red lights along the way and passed several hospitals without stopping. Since he was an expert invited by the province, he should not be working in some public hospital in the city. He should be working in some private hospital or somewhere else. However, it was a strange feeling to go to the hospital with Zuo Hancheng to check on her pregnancy with the intention of a divorce. Wenner¡¯s words entered her mind again. She gripped the strap of her canvas bag tightly. Suddenly, her phone vibrated in her bag. She paused and quickly took out her phone to take a look. However, when she saw that the caller ID was Yi Zeyang¡¯s number, she was stunned. Yi Zeyang? Why was he calling her at this time? Did something happen to Qi Weiran? Could it be that Qi Weiran could not be saved¡­Did she really kill Yi Zeyang¡¯s fianc¨¦e? She stared at the vibrating phone in her hand for a long time and forgot to pick it up for a moment. The scene of Qi Weiran being stained with blood in front of her car kept replaying in her mind. Was it really impossible to save¡­ The phone stopped vibrating and she snapped back to her senses. It was too late to pick up the call. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone rang. She glanced at Zuo Hancheng and did not notice his expression because the phone in her hand rang with a text message. She looked down at the screen and saw that it was a message from Yi Zeyang. The content was very short, and it looked like it was sent in a hurry. ¡°Anhao, be careful of the Qi family¡¯s revenge.¡± She stared at the line of words on the screen and suddenly felt a chill down her spine. How would the Qi family seek revenge? Was he going to take revenge on her or on Zuo Hancheng, who had interfered and obstructed them? Anhao gripped her phone tightly. It was only then that she noticed that Zuo Hancheng had also hung up the phone. However, the way he took off his earphones was different from usual. It looked like he had taken them off and thrown them into the glove box beside him. She immediately turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that his face was cold. It seemed that he had found out something when he was on the phone. The car that was moving steadily suddenly turned around and drove off from the other side of the road. At the same time, when Anhao was surprised by the cold expression on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, she suddenly heard his cold voice,¡±¡±Sit tight.¡± Anhao was stunned. The moment he finished speaking, the car suddenly drove off at an astonishing speed. Anhao instinctively raised her hand to grab the seatbelt in front of her chest, but at the same time, she seemed to hear a few military green off-road vehicles chasing after her from behind. They were approaching at the same terrifying speed.. Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Living Towards Death (5) Chapter 475: Living Towards Death (5) Translator: 549690339 From the rearview mirror, Anhao saw that the military green SUVs behind her were ramming into countless roadside stalls in a rather savage manner, but they still did not slow down. Anhao suddenly looked at her phone again. Was this what Yi Zeyang wanted to remind her about? Was the Qi family planning to take revenge? Yi Zeyang had not contacted her for the past few days. This was actually not normal for Anhao to know Yi Zeyang. Although he was about to get married and Qi Weiran was injured by her, Yi Zeyang did not have any intention of falling out with her that day. So after that, was it because he was taking care of Qi Wei and did not have time to take care of her, or did something happen between the Yi and Qi families? Anhao instinctively felt that this matter was too sudden and strange when she sent the text message in such a hurry. It was so sudden that Zuo Hancheng did not have time to prepare for it. Based on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s habits, he would definitely be prepared for revenge. However, everything happened too suddenly, so suddenly that no one expected it! The Qi family¡¯s status in the military was not low, not to mention that they had many connections in the military. What exactly was the Qi family¡¯s revenge? Did Zuo Hancheng already know what the Qi family was going to do? Was that why he had such a strange reaction? Although Zuo Hancheng had prepared himself and quickly changed direction before those off-road vehicles approached, those off-road vehicles were clearly well-trained and they continued to press on the gas pedal in a pursuit. Anhao looked in the direction of the cars behind her through the rearview mirror and recalled the pool of blood on the ground when Qi Weiran was hit. She wondered if the Qi family was planning to use the car accident as a way to get revenge. ¡°Were those cars sent by the Qi family?¡±Anhao continued to stare at the cars behind her through the rearview mirror, but she was unusually calm at this critical moment.¡±¡±lf the person they want to take revenge on is me, stop the car and let me down now. I can face it myself¡­¡¯ ¡°Shut up!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her, but he cut her off sharply as he sped toward the deserted street in the north. Anhao kept quiet and turned to look at the cars that were following behind her. If the person they wanted to take revenge on was her, she could accept it. After all, Qi Weiran was still lying in the hospital and her life was uncertain. However, Zuo Hancheng was still in the car and she could not drag him down! She suddenly raised her hand to open the car door. Seeing that the car door had been locked by Zuo Hancheng beforehand, she immediately turned to look at him.¡±l¡¯ll face the trouble I caused myself! Zuo Hancheng, you don¡¯t have to take the risk because of me!¡± ¡°Sit tight in the car and don¡¯t move!¡±Zuo Hancheng frowned and looked at her coldly.¡±¡±Protect yourself. Don¡¯t distract me.¡± Those cars were chasing after him in an extremely ferocious and arrogant manner. He didn¡¯t know if he could escape from the encirclement of those cars, but he only asked her to protect herself. Anhao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and her eyes turned red.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, I don¡¯t want to drag you down anymore, okay? If there are any problems, I will bear them myself! I¡¯m no longer a child. I don¡¯t want to implicate you again and again! I was the one who bumped Qi Weiran! I was the one who offended the Qi family for various reasons! Your relationship with the military has always been very stable. I don¡¯t want you to lose your footing in the country because of me. I don¡¯t want you to bear any price because of me!¡± However, her voice was drowned out by the roaring of the accelerator behind her. The off-road vehicles were charging forward as if they were not afraid of death. No matter how skilled Zuo Hancheng was, the fearless cars behind him were left behind again and again, and they were caught up again and again. They were clearly well-trained elites of the military. At this moment, Anhao realized that Zuo Hancheng had used some unknown method to forcefully take her out of the traffic team. However, it was obvious that he had a big disagreement with the military and political circles because of her. Moreover, someone had already planned to retaliate and not leave Shengling Group any face. No matter how powerful he was, the Qi family could easily take advantage of the situation when he had a disagreement with an important force in the country and was caught by someone with ill intentions! Was she still dragging him down? Was the price that she had already expected more serious than she had imagined? Just as Anhao was about to grab the control of all the doors and windows in the car, she reached out her hand and unbuckled her seatbelt because it was too much of a hindrance. Just as she was about to step over Zuo Hancheng¡¯s position, Zuo Hancheng noticed her movement and suddenly held the steering wheel with one hand and pressed her back to her original position with the other hand. ¡°Fasten your seatbelt!¡± ¡°Let me out of the car!¡± Anhao looked at him with reddened eyes.¡± Zuo Hancheng, let me down. I¡¯ll face it myself!¡¯¡±¡® At the same time, Zuo Hancheng suddenly frowned. Anhao also looked up abruptly because of his gaze. She saw a large truck suddenly driving over from the front of the newly repaired road that had not yet resumed normal driving. The three words ¡± dangerous goods ¡± on the huge tank-shaped device on the back of the truck pierced into her eyes. Dangerous goods! That car was transporting explosives! The consequences of a car accident would be unimaginable! Was this a mutual destruction or a deliberate arrangement? Was it the Qi family¡¯s revenge or the Gu family¡¯s involvement? Anhao¡¯s mind was filled with the words ¡± dangerous goods ¡°. She watched as the car sped towards them as if the brakes had malfunctioned. There were even a few off-road vehicles blocking the road behind them. There was no way for her to retreat! ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± It was too late for Anhao to get out of the car. It was obvious that it was not a matter of whether she faced it or not. Someone was deliberately making them die without a burial place! However, Zuo Hancheng did not say a word in this most dangerous situation. He suddenly turned the steering wheel with one hand and turned the car toward the fence by the roadside. When Anhao realized what he was going to do, she was about to stop him. However, before she could shout, Zuo Hancheng had already unbuckled his seatbelt with the other hand and released the steering wheel at the same time. With a terrifying speed, he turned over and stood in front of her. At the moment of the huge collision and the roar, Anhao raised her head in a panic and met his gaze. She saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark, abyss-like eyes and tears instantly poured down. Anhao cried until she screamed silently,¡±Zuo Hancheng! ¡± Don¡¯t-¡± The huge impact caused her to fall into an abyss of pain as if her entire body was shattered. Her eyes were filled with blood and darkness¡­ The last thing she knew was that warm palm covering her eyes, but it still could not stop the blood from spreading in front of her eyes¡­ Darkness¡­They attacked without warning¡­ Chapter 475: Living Towards Death (5) Translator: 549690339 From the rearview mirror, Anhao saw that the military green SUVs behind her were ramming into countless roadside stalls in a rather savage manner, but they still did not slow down.

Hurry up and save her!¡± Amidst the intense pain, she didn¡¯t know which cold place she was immersed in, but she could still feel that her body was tightly surrounded by someone. The person in front of her blocked all the sharp things in the car for her. Other than the violent impact and the rolling force of the car when it fell, she could still barely regain some consciousness at this moment. But when he opened his eyes, he saw nothing but blood. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand, which was originally covering her eyes, had already landed on her body. Anhao struggled to open her eyes, but it was as if water had been poured into her eyes. The piercing pain made her unable to open her eyes again. She could only hear the sound of something rushing towards her. It was as if the sound of a police car was approaching. The smell of blood spread into her nose and mouth. She tried to raise her hand to touch the person in front of her, but her entire body was firmly surrounded by Zuo Hancheng. Even if she wanted to raise her hand, she realized that her hand was between the two of them. In the end, she instinctively touched her stomach before she fainted. ¡°Fortunately, Mr. Zuo quickly turned the car around and rushed under the fence at the time of the incident. Otherwise, if he had hit a dangerous vehicle, I¡¯m afraid that the newly built road would have been destroyed. Everyone in those cars would have been killed¡­¡± ¡°Fortunately, there was a clear lake below the fence, so it didn¡¯t cause the car to burn and explode. It was just that the injured had drowned in the water during the accident. But after so many days, Mr. Zuo is out of danger now, but Miss Gu has not woken up yet because of the operation. We¡¯ll observe her for another day. If she still doesn¡¯t wake up, she might.. She didn¡¯t know who was talking in her ears. It was chaotic and noisy. Anhao felt as if her eyelids were filled with dozens of tons of metal. She barely managed to open her eyes, but the light in the ward made her close her eyes again. However, she could clearly smell the disinfectant in the hospital. The voices of the doctors were still ringing in her ears, but Anhao frowned because of the inexplicable pain in her stomach. It took her a long time to open her eyes again, and she slowly adapted to the light in the ward. ¡°Dr. Chen, Miss Gu is awake!¡± A nurse who was changing her dressing at the bedside noticed that Anhao¡¯s eyes were open and immediately turned around to report. Immediately, a few doctors and nurses walked over and examined her eyes, raised her hand to check, and even picked up various stethoscopes. Anhao stood still and let them check her body. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to move, but she didn¡¯t have the strength to move. All the bones in her body seemed to have been broken and reassembled. There was a sharp pain in her stomach that reminded her of something, but she couldn¡¯t remember it at the moment. However, the doctors seemed to be afraid that something had really happened to her. They kept confirming her various vital signs and physical indicators. Anyway, she was not a medical student, so she did not know what those doctors were doing. However, when one of the doctors suddenly pressed on her stomach, Anhao woke up from her daze in pain. She widened her eyes and groaned in pain. The doctor retracted his hand and wrote something on the medical record. Another doctor came over and pressed her stomach. As Anhao frowned in pain, he said softly,¡±¡±ls it still painful?¡± Nonsense! Her stomach was already hurting, and now the place they were pressing on was a hundred times more painful. It would be strange if it didn¡¯t hurt! Ke Anhao didn¡¯t have the strength to speak, but she frowned in pain. She looked at the doctor who was carefully observing her expression and nodded reluctantly. Anhao didn¡¯t understand what the doctor said to the nurse beside him. He said that she needed to continue with the injection. When the doctor walked to the nearest place to her, she was about to ask if she was really not dead. She wanted to ask how Zuo Hancheng was. After all, she had finally woken up and clearly remembered the thrilling car accident before she fell into the darkness. She also remembered the glimmer in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes when he was protecting her under his body. It was a kind of light that came from death. It was something that she swore that she would never see in the eyes of others in her life. However, when she raised her head to look at the patient, she was trying her best to speak when she suddenly saw the name tag on the doctor¡¯s white coat. It said: Obstetrics and GyGynecology Department XX Attending Physician. Her brain suddenly buzzed with a loud sound. Then, she looked at the name tag on the chest of the patient beside her: Andynia Department Department XXXX¡­ Gynecology¡­Painless Department¡­ Why were they pressing on her stomach just now? Anhao did not use the strength she had accumulated to speak. Instead, she slowly raised her hand with some difficulty and stroked her stomach. She looked at the doctor beside her with a questioning gaze. When the doctor saw the uneasy look in Anhao¡¯s eyes, he comforted her softly, ¡± Miss Gu, it¡¯s already a blessing from the heavens that you managed to survive such a major car accident and not become disabled. The child in your stomach was already unstable in all aspects and was already showing signs of miscarriage. The young fetus was very unstable. After such a car accident, the child was ultimately unable to be saved. I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re also very regretful¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, but her hands suddenly clenched into fists on her stomach. ¡°Miss Gu, your pregnancy is only about one and a half months old. Although a miscarriage will inevitably cause some damage to your body, we have hired the best medical team to ensure that you can continue to have a normal pregnancy after resting for a few months. There will be no problems.¡± Hearing the word ¡± car accident ¡°, Anhao forced herself to look at the doctor. She opened her mouth with some difficulty, but her voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible. ¡°Zuo Hancheng. Where is it?¡± The doctor leaned closer to her and listened carefully. After hearing her words, he smiled reassuringly and said, ¡°Mr. Zuo is out of danger. When the car accident happened, Mr. Zuo tried his best to protect you and the child. He used his body to block the airbags and all the sharp objects in the car. The degree of injury is more serious than yours. Fortunately, after so many days of treatment, he is out of danger¡­¡± After confirming that Zuo Hancheng was out of danger, Anhao heaved a sigh of relief, but her hand was still on her stomach. It seemed like¡­ Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she had never touched her belly properly. She had never experienced the anticipation and joy of being a mother. Now, no matter how gently she touched her belly, it was as if she was only touching a flat lump of meat. There was no little life that belonged to her, no little Zuo Hancheng, and no little Gu Anhao.. Chapter 477 - Chapter 477: The Zuo Clan Is Tyrannical (2) Chapter 477: The Zuo Clan Is Tyrannical (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Miss Gu, because your body has just suffered a major impact and injury, the procedure for the operation will be more complicated. It¡¯s normal for you to still feel some pain in your stomach now, but you¡¯ll be fine in two days.¡± Seeing that she was not talking, the doctor was afraid that she would be emotionally unstable and take things too hard, so he kept reminding her softly, ¡°Many young people will have a miscarriage within three months of pregnancy due to various reasons. Sometimes, the fetus is unstable. Even going to the toilet can cause a miscarriage. You have encountered an irresistible car accident. This is not something you can control.¡± In the doctor¡¯s eyes, she had only been pregnant for more than a month. Even if she miscarried, it would only be an embryo that had not yet formed. It was already common in medicine. However, Anhao stared blankly at the ceiling in the ward and said softly,¡±¡±l know¡­¡± She paused for a moment and asked,¡±¡±Does Zuo Hancheng know?¡± The doctor hesitated for a moment before saying,¡± Mr. Zuo has actually just woken up. I think he should already know by now.¡¯¡±¡® Anhao suddenly fell silent. She could only lower her head and look at her flat stomach under the blanket. Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the ward. It was as if there was a familiar feeling approaching. Someone outside called Mr. Zuo. In the next moment, the ward door was suddenly pushed open. This time, he did not kick it open. Instead, he was pushed away heavily. A doctor followed the figure in. When Anhao looked in the direction of the door, she suddenly met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. When she saw his gaze again, Anhao suddenly didn¡¯t know how to face it. The doctor was right. She was lucky to be alive, but she remembered that Zuo Hancheng had suddenly blocked her way in the car. She would never forget it. She did not know if it was her luck or Zuo Hancheng¡¯s luck, but she was lucky enough to fall into the water when she crashed into the roadside fence and not cause a tragic accident. It was also because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s decisiveness to turn around that he avoided the heavy losses and casualties caused by the collision with the dangerous goods vehicle. This was already the best result, but it was still because she didn¡¯t know much about pregnancy and was too willful that she couldn¡¯t keep the child. How could the little thing that had only appeared in her stomach for more than a month be the Vajra Calabash Baby? It was still so fragile that she did not even have the time to say goodbye. ¡°Mr. Zuo, although your injury is not fatal, you must rest in bed and cannot leave the ward without permission. ¡°The doctors who followed closely behind reminded him repeatedly. Zuo Hancheng stood in front of the door and looked in Anhao¡¯s direction. Then, he glanced at the doctors and nurses who were surrounding Anhao¡¯s bed. A younger nurse could not help but say,¡±Mr. Zuo, the child in your wife¡¯s stomach has already¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted the nurse expressionlessly, not letting her use this method to cause more harm to Anhao. At the same time, he frowned slightly, obviously displeased by the nurse¡¯s thoughtless blabbering. Mobai hurriedly said from behind,¡± Everyone, please come out first. Leave the ward for President Zuo and Mrs. Zuo. If the two of them have any physical discomfort or needs, they will definitely let you know in time. It won¡¯t affect the treatment progress. ¡®¡±¡® The doctors hesitated for a moment and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. They did not dare to say anything, nor did they dare to offend him. They all walked out quietly. After the doctors and nurses left, Mobai said tactfully, ¡°President Zuo, we¡¯ll wait outside. Although you¡¯re out of danger, you¡¯re still very weak after losing too much blood.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He merely glanced behind him indifferently from the corner of his eye. MO Bai understood what he meant. He did not say anything else and gently closed the door of the ward. Anhao watched as Zuo Hancheng slowly walked towards her bed. His injuries were obviously more serious than hers. He had helped her block all the external injuries and serious injuries that could have caused her. She had only suffered a violent impact and drowned. Then, she had a miscarriage¡­No matter what, he shouldn¡¯t be the one visiting her now. He should be resting well. However, it seemed that no matter what happened to Zuo Hancheng, he would always act as if nothing had happened. He would come to give her strength and be by her side when she needed it the most. In the end, the Qi family had started to set up traps everywhere. Before she fell into darkness that day, she thought that the Qi family had dared to take revenge in such a blatant way. It was obvious that they had a bargaining chip that could restrain Zuo Hancheng, or they did not need to be afraid of Zuo Hancheng anymore. Therefore, she could not imagine what kind of price Zuo Hancheng would pay, or what else would happen other than this life-and-death situation. The only thing she knew was¡­ What was so good about her that he would risk his life for her? His life was much more valuable than hers¡­His existence was much more important than her, an orphan girl who had no one to dote on or love¡­ Was it really worth it to sacrifice his life for her? Anhao could not say anything, nor could she ask. When Zuo Hancheng walked to the bedside and pulled a chair over to sit down, she felt her weak body gradually tense up. She did not know if she was afraid of his criticism or his concern as usual. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to know her too well. He knew that she would not listen to anything at a time like this. Thus, he sat by her bed with his body covered in injuries and his face pale. He looked at her quietly, as if she would suddenly disappear if he didn¡¯t look at her like this. Anhao avoided his gaze, and the ward was eerily quiet. Mobai was outside to find out what Zuo Hancheng was planning. After all, ever since President Zuo woke up, he had not heard him say anything about this matter, nor did he give any instructions on what to do next. However, it was too quiet in the ward, and she couldn¡¯t hear anything. Mobai had no choice but to move back a little, signaling the doctor outside the door to wait quietly and not to enter and disturb him. Anhao was lying on the hospital bed, her hands quietly squeezing under the blanket. Finally, she raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng. The moment she met his gaze, she blurted out,¡±¡±Left¡­¡± ¡°It was my negligence. I didn¡¯t protect you and our child well.¡±Zuo Hancheng spoke at the same time, successfully interrupting Anhao¡¯s words. Anhao was instantly rendered speechless, but this time, she was not as choked as she usually was when she was bickering with Zuo Hancheng.. Chapter 478 - Chapter 478: The Zuo Clan Is Tyrannical (3) Chapter 478: The Zuo Clan Is Tyrannical (3) Translator: 549690339 Actually, she still wanted to say sorry, but she felt that it was meaningless and unnecessary to say it when she was faced with Zuo Hancheng. He clearly didn¡¯t want her to say those words. ¡°The whole thing is my fault. You¡¯re only 20 years old, and you¡¯re still a child who doesn¡¯t even know how to take care of yourself.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was very soft and light, but it was also filled with warmth and comfort that belonged to him. ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand came over and caressed her abdomen, which was still hurting. Anhao felt her cold stomach warming up bit by bit. However, she still lost her vajra gourd doll because of her own torment. He was warming up her stomach, but he was also feeling sorry for the child. Anhao¡¯s eyes were red as she told the truth, ¡°¡±lt hurts.¡± It went without saying whether it was a stomachache or heartache. Zuo Hancheng sighed.¡± You¡¯re still not at the right age to be a mother. I¡¯m afraid that this child is unwilling to be born because he¡¯s afraid that you¡¯ll spoil him after he¡¯s born.¡¯ Anhao¡¯s eyes, which were originally slightly red, turned completely red in an instant. What was there to talk about? This child was just a small embryo. He was just about to stay in her stomach safely when she played with him¡­ Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was just going along with her temper to comfort her, but she could not help but suddenly pull up the blanket to cover her face. She fell onto the bed and was so discouraged that she did not move. Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao, who was silent and unable to cry because of her self-reproach. He patted the blanket on her gently.¡±Take off the blanket. If you really feel uncomfortable, I¡¯ll cry with you for a while.¡± Anhao suddenly lifted the blanket and glared at him with an aggrieved expression.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, can¡¯t you just scold me?¡± ¡°After scolding you until you cry, I still have to comfort you.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s recuperate first. We still have a common problem to face. This child¡¯s revenge will be taken sooner or later.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, which had been comforting her gently, gradually turned cold. Anhao¡¯s gaze froze instantly. That¡¯s right, this child¡¯s revenge¡­ Her vajra gourd doll wasn¡¯t even afraid of ice cream, but now it was gone for no reason! Indeed, she should not have defeated herself first. In the end, she should have blamed it on those families! After resting for a few days, Anhao was finally able to get out of bed and walk freely. She went to get her things. When he returned to the ward and turned on his phone, he could not help but be overwhelmed by dozens of messages and missed calls. After all the messages had been automatically sent, Anhao opened her phone screen and was about to call Chunchun back to let them know that she was safe. Recently, Chunchun and Huang Amao had been so scared by her that they were about to have a heart attack. The content of the text message had gone from being anxious at the beginning to almost becoming a memorial service for her. Looking at the message that appeared every half an hour, Anhao didn¡¯t know where to tap. ¡®Gu Annao, are you aeaa or not¡± ¡®If you¡¯re not dead, can you reply to us? I, Huang Amao, almost bought a bunch of chrysanthemums to put on your bed, okay?¡¯ ¡®You¡¯ve been really unlucky recently. Is it because you met Zuo Hancheng back then and used up all your good luck in your life? Is that why you¡¯re so unlucky?¡¯ ¡®Why don¡¯t you just kick Zuo Hancheng out? For the sake of your luck in the future, let¡¯s not keep him anymore. You have a long life ahead of you. You might even meet someone better. Zuo Hancheng is too much of a burden to your luck. His presence is too strong¡­¡¯ Anhao looked at her phone and sniffed as she smiled. She reached out to grab the tissue beside the bed and was about to wipe her nose when suddenly, her phone vibrated in her hand. At the same time, a string of unfamiliar numbers appeared on the screen. When she saw that the unknown number was an unidentifiable number that was formed by some kind of communication device, Anhao¡¯s hand paused. She looked at the string of numbers and did not answer it immediately. Even when the phone stopped vibrating, she still stared at the phone. When the number continued to call, she paused for a moment. Her expression gradually froze as she picked up the phone and placed it beside her ear. She didn¡¯t say anything, but the voice on the other end of the phone came through a voice changer.¡±You survived another great disaster. Little girl, you really have a tough life.¡± Anhao heard the voice coming from the voice changer and immediately gave a lukewarm smile.¡¯¡±¡®How afraid are you of Zuo Hancheng? I¡¯ve offended him openly, yet I¡¯m doing these little tricks behind his back. I even have to use this kind of unidentifiable number and voice changer. Are you afraid that he¡¯ll find out the root cause or that I¡¯ll record it for him to hear?¡± The person on the other end of the phone was not angered by her words. Because they had already interacted with her before, they already knew her personality. He knew that no matter what, she would never show mercy when she wanted to choke someone. Recently, she had restrained herself a lot and was considered very obedient. Naturally, she would not be angry. When they thought about the time when they had secretly talked to her, the little girl¡¯s counter-threats shocked them. A little girl who looked like she had been provoked to the point where she was not interested in anything, a little girl who looked like she had a mental breakdown, but she was able to calmly confront and negotiate with them after hearing their request. She even accurately grasped their Achilles ¡®heel. Didn¡¯t they hear that this little girl was a very rebellious child? In the end, it was a species that appeared to be ignorant. ¡°We haven¡¯t completely interfered in this matter. The purpose of calling now is to ask how long do you want to delay?¡±Finally, the phone call, the end of the call, and the person who said it, a rather impatient sentence: ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you promised when you were inside.¡± Anhao sneered.¡± You guys suddenly attacked me and almost killed me. I¡¯m still recuperating in the hospital. Under such circumstances, it doesn¡¯t seem to be my problem even if I didn¡¯t leave! Do you think I can cross the sea just because the king of heaven wants me to? I¡¯m not the fairy of the Eight Immortals. I don¡¯t have the ability to leave just like that.¡± Anhao gripped her phone tightly, her eyes cold.¡±Besides, do you dare to say that this military vehicle chase incident has nothing to do with you? Even if you didn¡¯t interfere too much, you definitely knew about it!¡± ¡°This is just a warning.¡± ¡°Warning? You f * cking warned me in such a dangerous way? Don¡¯t try to fool me with such childish words. Let me tell you, since I, Gu Anhao, could threaten you back then, I can do the same now. Believe it or not, I¡¯ll give up on this deal. In the end, whoever loses more, don¡¯t come crying to me!¡± Anhao cursed angrily..¡± I haven¡¯t f * cking done anything yet, and you want to take our lives? Do you think I¡¯ve suffered for nothing?!¡± If you dare to act rashly now, I¡¯ll make you report it in the newspapers within an hour! At most, they would fight to the death! It was worth it to drag all of you into the water with me!¡± Chapter 479 - Chapter 479: The Zuo Clan Is Tyrannical (4) Chapter 479: The Zuo Clan Is Tyrannical (4) Translator: 549690339 The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment. He knew that Anhao¡¯s personality could really go to the extent of fighting to the death. An orphan like her could ignore it, but they couldn¡¯t. Hence, he said in a deep voice, ¡°The Gu family was the one who interfered in the dangerous goods car incident. We did not really interfere in this matter.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression instantly turned cold. She knew it! Gu Tianming, that old bastard! Seeing that she did not speak, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly said coldly, Don¡¯t forget what you promised.¡± Anhao replied coldly,¡± I¡¯m not as old as you. I¡¯m not that forgetful. You don¡¯t have to remind me.¡± At this point, she suddenly changed the topic.¡±Will Qi Weiran die? Will she really become a vegetable?¡± ¡± She¡¯s already awake. I¡¯ve never done useless negotiations. So, Gu Anhao, please fulfill the conditions we set out at the beginning as soon as possible. Otherwise, you know the consequences.¡± Feeling relieved, Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else and ended the call mercilessly. ¡°Hello, is Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward on this floor?¡± Rong Xue, who had finally found an opportunity to come to the hospital, appeared in the corridor. Rong Xue was about to go to the VIP ward in the Inpatient Department of Area C when she saw two familiar figures walking past. She stopped and walked out after the two of them were far away. After confirming that the two of them had entered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward, she walked over. There were no nurses or doctors passing by the door. She stood outside the ward and heard the voices inside. She gave up on the idea of going in to visit. The soundproofing of this ward was pretty good, but because she was leaning against the door, she could more or less hear some sounds coming from inside. ¡± Mr. Zuo, Qi Jianping is a veteran in the military region. He has many years of good relationships with various forces and groups in the military region and the central government. The Qi family will not let this matter go this time¡­¡± ¡°Gu Tianming has also secretly allied with various friendly forces¡­¡± ¡°Although the Yi family seems to be calm and collected, Chairman Yi has stopped the Yi family¡¯s young master from contacting the outside world.¡± Rong Xue could not hear the rest of the conversation clearly because they had lowered their voices. She frowned and continued to listen carefully. He could probably hear a few short sentences. ¡°We recently noticed that the Qi and Gu families have contacted some official investigation forces in the United States to investigate what happened to you when you were in the early stages of your business in the United States many years ago¡­¡± ¡°This car accident was not just targeted at Mrs. Zuo. They have already shifted their target to you. They didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Zuo to be in the car too. We¡¯ve hindered too many of their plans and successfully became the biggest thorn in the side of the Qi and Gu families. Now, their actions are getting more and more frequent. They seem to have the intention of not stopping until they join forces to chase you back to America, especially the Gu family. Because they coincidentally have the Qi family as their backer, they¡¯ve been very arrogant recently¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, the current situation has developed to the point where it¡¯s not just a simple retaliation. The Qi family is trying to find an opportunity to stir up trouble from the root. He won¡¯t stop until he makes a beautiful counterattack.¡± When she heard footsteps coming from inside the ward, Rong Xue slowly turned off the recording pen hidden in her coat pocket. She could not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. She could only hear the people outside the door talking about something. When she listened carefully, she heard voices coming from inside. ¡°Mr. Zuo, Miss Gu can¡¯t survive in our world at all¡­lt¡¯s necessary to use the black to fight the black, but Miss Gu is caught in the middle. Firstly, she¡¯s too innocent. Secondly, it¡¯s a critical time now. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t protect her completely.¡± At this point, the man who was talking by the bed suddenly looked in the direction of the ward door. He looked at the other person who came in with him and walked over to open the door, but there was no one outside. Anhao¡¯s ward was being cleaned and disinfected. However, he did not know what was wrong with the nurse today. Did she go to do something else after disinfecting and ventilation? He didn¡¯t even close the door to the ward. Anhao didn¡¯t know how long it would take for the ventilation to be done, but seeing that the nurse hadn¡¯t come over to close the door after such a long time, and the weather was so cold today, the windows and door were all open. The ward was already so cold that it was almost an ice cellar. She had no choice but to get up and close the door herself. However, just as her hand touched the door, she saw Rong Xue walking over. The moment Anhao looked at her, Rong Xue walked straight into her ward. Anhao¡¯s expression froze for a moment before she turned to look at her.¡±¡±Could it be that Miss Rong took out some documents to force me to sign again? There were some tricks that were enough to be played once. If they were played again, even if you didn¡¯t get sick of it, I would.¡± Rong Xue did not say anything. She only signaled her to close the door with her eyes. Anhao looked at her hesitantly. Seeing Rong Xue take out a recording pen from her pocket, Anhao looked at her thoughtfully. After observing for a while, Anhao closed the door of the ward and looked at Rong Xue indifferently.¡±¡±Actually, I don¡¯t welcome you here, but I¡¯m really curious about what other tricks you can use. I also want to see how much a woman can turn into because of a man.¡¯ ¡°Am I detestable or are you more detestable?¡±Rong Xue calmly pressed the play button on the recording pen. The conversation in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward, which was not clear, but some of the important content was not missed, was transmitted from the recording pen without missing a word. Anhao listened, but she did not show any expression. When the recording was over, Rong Xue put the recording pen back into her pocket. Her bright and beautiful eyes looked at Anhao¡¯s unusually calm eyes. ¡°Gu Anhao, from the beginning to the end, Hancheng has been trying his best to save you, but what did you bring him? Han Cheng had been trying to pull you out of the abyss, but you kept pulling him down.¡± Rong Xue glared at her and said,¡±¡±Are you satisfied? Gu Anhao? Han Cheng had always been strict in his actions, and he would never give anyone the chance to catch him. But for you, he had to use the most inappropriate means to save you, even if he had to offend the most senior General Qi in the military, even if the military, the government, and the business world had to put pressure on him. What did you do before or after that?¡± ¡°You¡¯re already dragging him down endlessly. Are you still unwilling to let go?¡± Anhao did not say anything in the face of Rong Xue¡¯s repeated questioning.. She looked at her quietly and said in a clear voice,¡±¡±Even if I let go, what can I do to help him?¡± Chapter 480 - Chapter 480: Zuo Clan’s Tyrannical (5) Chapter 480: Zuo Clan¡¯s Tyrannical (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s gaze was as cold as usual.¡± Since Qi Weiran¡¯s grandfather is the most senior general in the military, and even Zuo Hancheng is currently being attacked from both sides, what can a person in the entertainment industry like you do?¡¯¡±¡® ¡°I¡¯m reminding you that you should know your place. I told you a long time ago that a young but self-righteous girl like you will only cause trouble in Han City. Forget about the small troubles in the past, but do you know what you¡¯ve done this time? This is a big problem!¡± Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred and disdain as she said,¡±¡±You¡¯ve always been a burden to him!¡± ¡°When parents give birth to a child, they are destined to start by cleaning up their child¡¯s mess. I have been causing trouble for Zuo Hancheng since the first day I married him. My husband hasn¡¯t even complained yet. What right do you have to stand here and tell me to know my place?¡± ¡°Is it that exciting to use all kinds of methods to seduce a married man? Even if there was a past between the two of you, it was five years ago. Rongxue, I only appeared five years after you guys cut off your connection.¡± That¡¯s why I¡¯m not a mistress in your relationship, and I didn¡¯t steal your man and take everything that you should have. Instead, you¡¯re trying to break up someone else¡¯s marriage! Don¡¯t always show off your methods and complaints in front of me. Do your fans know that your IQ in private is so worrying? Rong Xue looked at her for a long time before she suddenly said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, what did you eat when you grew up? How can you be so thick-skinned?¡± Anhao smiled coldly.¡± Same here. We should be of similar thickness.¡±¡® Rong Xue seemed to find her unreasonable.¡±¡±You¡­¡± ¡°I know what¡¯s going on with the Qi family. I don¡¯t need you to remind me.¡±Anhao finally looked at the topic that Rong Xue wanted to bring up and said coldly,¡±¡±Even if I want to leave Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side obediently one day, it¡¯s only for my own reasons. It has nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t think that you can force me to leave just because you¡¯re making things worse. The more you¡¯re like this, the more I feel that it¡¯ll be more enjoyable to torture everyone like this. Anyway, I¡¯m such an unreasonable guy who likes to cause trouble for others, right? I¡¯ve just implicated Zuo Hancheng and made him temporarily suppressed. I¡¯ve already harmed a person like him to this extent. I really feel a sense of accomplishment now! Should I drag you down with me? The three of us are going through thick and thin together?¡± Rong Xue suddenly felt very powerless. Gu Anhao had never acted according to her plan. Even though she knew how much trouble she had caused Zuo Hancheng, she was still thick-skinned enough to fight him to the end. She would never show her painful side to her. This little girl was stubborn and difficult to deal with. She was also good at stabbing people. No matter what others did, she had to hurt them first. She was completely an unreasonable wild cat that bared her fangs and brandished her claws! How did Zuo Hancheng put up with her? How did he treat this wild cat like a treasure? She was nothing more than a child who caused trouble for others all day long. How was she likable? ¡°Gu Anhao, do you even have a heart?¡± Anhao curled her lips slightly, looking really heartless.¡±¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Rong Xue walked past Anhao expressionlessly. She pulled open the door behind Anhao and walked out quickly. It seemed that she could not stay in the same room with Anhao anymore. ¡°Take care, I won¡¯t send you off.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t turn around and only said coldly when Rong Xue walked out. At the same time, she heard the sound of the door being closed behind her. ¡°Mister Zuo.¡± An unfamiliar figure approached the door of the ward. Zuo Hancheng stood outside Anhao¡¯s ward. Through the glass window on the door, he could see Anhao sitting on the bed. She was holding a pregnancy knowledge book that she had borrowed from some doctor or nurse. She seemed to be desperately trying to catch up on all kinds of pregnancy knowledge. This woman really didn¡¯t want to look at these things when she was pregnant. Now that she didn¡¯t have them, she started to study these things. It was more or less gratifying. After a while, Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at the person behind him indifferently.¡±¡±What did you find?¡± ¡± We¡¯ve been neglecting the traffic police. After Mr. Wenner¡¯s reminder, we¡¯ve been investigating for the past two days. Only then did we find out that during the period when Mrs. Zuo was locked up, although the traffic police did not make things difficult for Mrs. Zuo due to our pressure and allowed her to live in there with good food and drinks, they deliberately hid the fact that the Qi family took the opportunity to see Mrs. Zuo. We¡¯ve been investigating carefully these two days, and they had no choice but to admit under interrogation. Old General Qi had gone to see Mrs. Zuo personally.¡± Ever since Anhao came out, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She would often sit in a certain place and stare blankly. This was definitely not just an emotional problem. She had something on her mind. Zuo Hancheng knew all along. However, that girl was tight-lipped and deliberately hid all her emotions. What exactly was she hiding? Zuo Hancheng looked through the glass window and saw Anhao holding a book in her hand. She was reading a complete book on the food categories that were taboo in the first stage of pregnancy. She was so engrossed in reading that her brows were almost knitted into a knot. The Vajra Gourd Baby was able to stay in her stomach for more than a month. It was really tough¡­ It turned out that many of the things that Zuo Hancheng had asked someone to send back from the supermarket were things that she really needed. So there were so many things to pay attention to¡­ It was not easy for a woman to give birth to a healthy baby safely after ten months of pregnancy¡­ The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she didn¡¯t cherish her Vajra Calabash Baby. Anhao placed her hand on her belly and stroked it. Looking at the little fetus in the womb drawn in the book, her eyes secretly reddened. Anhao seemed to have never shed tears in front of Zuo Hancheng. At least, when she was awake, her eyes never turned red. Seeing Anhao¡¯s slightly reddened eyes and the regretful and sad expression on her face, Zuo Hancheng retracted his gaze.¡±¡±Tell them to get ready. If the Qi family and the Gu family decide to go head-on, I don¡¯t mind playing with them ror real.¡± The man standing behind him was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°But Mr. Zuo, if this matter really continues to develop like this, Mrs. Zuo will probably be at a disadvantage if she continues to stay in A City.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at Anhao, who was in the ward. When he walked into the elevator, he said calmly, ¡°¡±Give me a few more days. I know what to do.¡± At this moment, the battlefield was no longer suitable for her.. Chapter 481 - Chapter 481: The Zuo Clan’s Tyrannical (6) Chapter 481: The Zuo Clan¡¯s Tyrannical (6) Translator: 549690339 This hospital seemed to be isolated from the world. In the beginning, there were some acquaintances who occasionally appeared, but in the next few days, no one came to disturb Anhao¡¯s peace. Anhao would not believe that Zuo Hancheng had not done anything to the hospital. Chunchun and Huang Amao had been calling to complain for the past two days. They said that they had finally skipped class and came to the hospital to visit her, but they were stopped. Although the people who stopped them did not specify who they were listening to, she and Zuo Hancheng were quietly recuperating in the hospital every day. Other than Zuo Hancheng, there was definitely no other person behind it. If you say you want to heal, then so be it. Isn¡¯t it too much to ban any outsiders from coming out? Even if Anhao knew what Zuo Hancheng might do because of the accident and her miscarriage, he should have trusted Chunchun and Huang Amao. He did not even let Chunchun and Huang Amao in. She was not as injured as Zuo Hancheng, so she could be discharged early. Zuo Hancheng did not allow it either. When she used the excuse of going back to school to study for the college entrance examination, he actually changed his attitude of persuading her to study hard and take the college entrance examination well. He told her not to go anywhere in the hospital. Even though she was in the hospital, she was almost within his line of sight. Counting the time, she reckoned that she was really not fated to take the college entrance examination. Besides, Zuo Hancheng said that he was recuperating in the hospital. However, she did not know many of the people who occasionally entered and left his ward. However, every time Anhao went to Zuo Hanchengs ward, those people were very polite to her. As long as she was there, they would never discuss anything related to Zuo Hancheng, let alone the main point. They would find an excuse to leave temporarily and leave the ward for the two of them. ¡°What scheme have you been up to recently?¡±Anhao sat by the bedside and secretly looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm and composed face. He had been recuperating well recently. It was obvious that he did not have to go to the company to work during the recuperation period. He slept and ate on time every day, and he looked much better. Previously, Zuo Hancheng had been taking care of her at home with her. It was obvious that he had not had much rest during that period ot time. Even it he did not look like he was acting strangely, one could more or less tell from his expression that he was tired under the strong and calm surface. ¡°What conspiracy?¡± Zuo Hancheng was lying on the hospital bed. He had just taken his medicine and was feeling sleepy after talking to the people who had just arrived. At this moment, he was trying to stay awake and talk to Anhao. Seeing that he was sleepy after taking the medicine and that his tone was obviously perfunctory, Anhao stopped pestering him. She sat on the bed and looked at him with her chin in her hand. She said softly,¡±Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t you think we should have a talk?¡± ¡°About what?¡± Still perfunctory tone of voice sounded like fast asleep. Anhao continued to look at her with her chin in her boring to stay in the hospital like this. No one can come in and accompany us to relieve our boredom. Why don¡¯t we talk about Rongxue?¡± Zuo Hancheng, who had almost fallen asleep, frowned when he heard Rong Xue¡¯s name. He opened his eyes and looked at her.¡±lf you¡¯re bored, come over and sleep together. Don¡¯t think about those unrelated people and things.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips curled up.¡± Since you¡¯ve already said that she has nothing to do with me, then all the more I should untie this knot in my heart. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and closed his eyes again.¡±¡±lf it¡¯s still not the time for me to tell you frankly about this matter, do you plan to continue throwing a tantrum at me?¡± Anhao had just felt a surge of warmth. She wanted to let go of the grudges in her heart and have a good talk with Zuo Hancheng, but in an instant, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. In the past few days, Zuo Hancheng had not only shut down the hospital, but he had also strangely distanced himself from her. For the past txuvo days, if she did not come to his ward to visit him, they would not see each other in the same hospital. He hadn¡¯t even stepped into the ward of the girl for the past two days. After experiencing this life and death situation, she actually wanted to put aside the misunderstandings and storms from before and face those enemies together. No matter what, she would never back down. However, at this moment, Zuo Hancheng had no intention of bringing her to fight alongside him. Zuo Hancheng was not an unreasonable person. If she was willing to sit quietly and ask him about the misunderstanding, he would have patiently given her an explanation and not let her continue to let her imagination run wild. Even though he had once said that he would tell her when the time was right. But now, regardless of whether it was time or not, since she was sitting here and willing to listen, he should at least reveal a few words. However, Zuo Hanchengs response to her was that if he did not say anything, she would continue to throw a tantrum at him. She was completely caught off guard by this cold water. She wanted to retort, but she saw that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have fallen asleep. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was breathing steadily and sleeping peacefully, Anhao sat on the edge of the bed and did not leave. In fact, she did not really want to accept the Qi family¡¯s threat. At least after experiencing this disaster, she remembered the look in Zuo Hanchengs eyes when he pounced on her. As long as Zuo Hancheng allowed her to fight alongside him, she was not afraid of anything. However, he clearly felt that she was a burden and had no intention of bringing her along to fight alongside him¡­ Anhao had just walked out of the ward when she saw Rong Xue¡¯s figure suddenly appear in the corridor of the hospital. The hospital was almost sealed off. Other than those trustworthy people around Zuo Hancheng, no one else could enter. Even Chunchun and Huang Amao were not allowed to enter. But why was Rong Xue here? If Chunchun and Huang Ah were considered outsiders, then Rong Xue was not? Anhao stared in Rong Xue¡¯s direction and saw her holding a thermos in her hand. She was walking with the doctor in the corridor and seemed to be talking about something in a low voice. It sounded like she was asking about Zuo Hanchengs injury. When they arrived at the door of the ward, Anhao was still standing there. The doctor glanced at Anhao and nodded politely at her, indicating that he wanted to go in and see Zuo Hancheng. Anhao stood still at the door, her gaze falling directly on Rong Xue¡¯s face. Rong Xue seemed to be overjoyed all of a sudden and smiled mysteriously at Anhao.¡±¡±Miss Gu, are you not going to let the doctor in?¡± Anhao opened the door a little, but only allowed the doctor to enter. When Rong Xue stopped and glanced at her, Anhao!s eyes were cold. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Rong Xue chuckled.. If it wasn¡¯t for the Cold City¡¯s acquiescence, do you think I would have been able to enter?¡± Chapter 482 - Chapter 482: Zuo’ s Tyrannical (7) Chapter 482: Zuo¡¯ s Tyrannical (7) Translator: 549690339 Did he mean that this was Zuo Hanchengs tacit approval? Anhao looked at the woman in front of her without changing her expression. She smiled faintly, but there was a hint of a smile hidden in her eyes. It was as if she did not need to stand there to prove anything. In the current situation, Zuo Hancheng allowing her to enter and leave the hospital freely was already the best proof of their relationship. Rong Xue was about to walk in when Anhao suddenly stood in front of her and looked at her coldly.¡±¡±Miss Rong, my husband is already asleep. It¡¯s a doctor¡¯s duty to go in and check on him, but it doesn¡¯t seem right for you to go in at this time.¡¯ ¡°You didn¡¯t take off your clothes when you slept. Why can¡¯t you go in?¡±Rong Xue smiled nonchalantly. Just as she was about to push the door open, Anhao stopped her. Rong Xue pressed her hand down and looked at Anhao.¡±¡±You know what? It was someone close to Hancheng who called me and said that Hancheng needed someone to take care of him, but it was not convenient to find those high-level nurses who could not be trusted at the moment. And you, Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t even know how to cook soup that can make people eat it. So, don¡¯t you understand why I¡¯m here?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes paused. She saw the faint smile in Rong Xue¡¯s eyes. When Anhao stood there stiffly, she slapped Rong Xue¡¯s hand away.¡± It doesn¡¯t matter if Hancheng is asleep now. He had tasted my cooking when we were in the United States. His trusted aides in the United States are also very familiar with me and know that I am more reliable than me. This is the best choice. As for you, Gu Anhao, it¡¯s time for you to return to your own path and stop harming others.¡¯ At this moment, the door to the ward opened and the doctor walked out. He nodded at Anhao and Rongxue and said,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo has already rested, but Mr. Zuo needs someone to accompany him. The person who came in with us just now said that Miss Rong is here to accompany him.¡± Rong Xue immediately gave Anhao a faint smile and walked in with the thermos in her hand. Anhao stood still in front of the door and turned to enter. The doctor closed the door behind her and said to Anhao, ¡°¡±Mrs. Zuo, you should go back to the ward to rest. Even if your body has recovered, since you¡¯re in the hospital, you should listen to the doctor¡¯s advice and rest more. This way, you can ensure that your health will be better after you¡¯re discharged.¡± ¡°Since you know that I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo, why are you letting another woman in to take care of my man?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you¡¯re worrying too much. Mr. Zuo is still recovering from his injuries. Because these fast-acting drugs are relatively strong, Mr. Zuo needs a certain amount of sleep every day to recuperate. Otherwise, he won¡¯t be able to recover as soon as possible. While Mr. Zuo is recuperating, our hospital has been strictly controlled by his people. When Mr. Zuo is asleep, we have to listen to the instructions of those people around him. Now, they have arranged for Miss Rong to come and take care of him. We can¡¯t do anything about it. Moreover, Mrs. Zuo, you really haven¡¯t been discharged. The nurse should be going to give you a nutrient solution at this time. Mrs. Zuo, you should hurry back to the ward.¡± Someone close to Zuo Hancheng? Anhao glanced at the doctor, then turned around and walked towards the elevator without saying a word. When she reached the second floor, she walked out and looked down at the railing in the middle, where she could see the whole view of the first floor. She saw that there were indeed no outsiders who could enter and leave the hospital as they pleased. There were a few men in black uniforms in front of the hospital door, and there were many people downstairs that she had never seen before. However, she knew that these were Zuo Hanchengs men. These people seemed to have never appeared in front of her before. Now, they had all appeared. Did the doctor listen to their arrangements and instructions? Was Rong Xue let in by Zuo Hancheng or by these people? When Zuo Hancheng was asleep, these people would not go near the ward and would not say a word to anyone else. Everyone was cold and strict. Anhao had tried to chat with some of them before. Initially, she only wanted to get some information out of them, but they seemed to be well-trained. Everyone kept their mouths shut and would not say a word. Therefore, even if she went to these people and asked them what they meant, there would probably be no results. Anhao had thought that Zuo Hancheng would chase Rong Xue away after he woke up, so she obediently went back to the ward to get a nutrient drip. However, when she woke up after a nap, she asked the nurse about the situation in Zuo Hanchengs ward and found out that Zuo Hancheng had woken up, but Rong Xue did not leave. Anhao was originally in the ward, but she suddenly pulled out the needle on the back of her hand. She went to the floor where Zuo Hanchengs ward was located when the nurse was not outside. When she reached the door of his ward, she found that the door was only slightly open, and Rong Xue¡¯s voice came from inside,¡±¡± Hancheng, you haven¡¯t tasted my cooking for many years. When I was still in America, I would come up with all kinds of good soups when I had time. It was both good for beauty and good for the body. I remember that I often brought a thermos to your company. At that time, the secretaries around you laughed at me and said that my way of wooing men was too old-fashioned¡­ Rong Xue¡¯s voice was soft and warm. Anhao looked through the gap in the door and saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the hospital bed. He was reading the contents of a file in one hand and taking the small bowl from Rong Xue with the other. His gaze did not leave the file in his hand, but he still drank the soup in the bowl naturally. ¡°Slow down. The quality of this thermos flask is especially good. I put it in as soon as it came out of the pot. It¡¯s still hot.¡±Rong Xue took a paper towel and wiped the soup stains on the edge of the bowl. She then took the opportunity to take a clean towel from the basin. After Zuo Hancheng put down the bowl, she wiped his arm directly. When Rong Xue was about to undo his shirt and wipe his body, Anhao had already left. Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to block Rong Xue¡¯s hand that was about to undo the second button of his shirt.¡±No need.¡¯ Rong Xue paused. Although he was taking care of her, he did not look at her as if he did not care who was next to him. Rong Xue retracted her hand and put the towel back into the water. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng slowly raising his hand to fasten the only button that she had unbuttoned. His gaze was still fixed on the folder in his hand. ¡°Han City.¡± Rong Xue looked at him.¡± After you recover, you should go back to America to rest for a while. China has been set up by those families and is full of crises. Actually, it¡¯s fine if you go back to America. Everything you used to have is still there. It doesn¡¯t matter even if Shengling Group moves back to America. The foundation is very stable. It doesn¡¯t matter what happens. Besides, the Zuo family is also in America. Your origin is also in America¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng closed the file in his hand and finally turned to look at her.. Chapter 483 - Chapter 483: Who Is the Real Eliminated (1) Chapter 483: Who Is the Real Eliminated (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng closed the file in his hand and finally turned to look at her. ¡°The soup is delicious.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back,¡± he said lightly. Rong Xue¡¯s voice suddenly stopped and she looked at him in shock.¡±¡± Hancheng, after so long, this is the first time you¡¯ve allowed me to get close to you. 1 thought you¡¯ve thought it through, so¡­¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the thermos again, as if he did not hear anything else Rong Xue said. He just looked at her calmly. Rong Xue did not understand why Zuo Hanchengs attitude was still so¡­He had clearly allowed her to take care of him and allowed her to be close to him. She couldn¡¯t understand it. Other than allowing her to come here to take care of him, he didn¡¯t mention anything else. He didn¡¯t mention Gu Anhao, nor did he mention America. He only thanked her. At this moment, in the boiling water room not far away. Anhao was holding a cup in her hand. She did not know if she should pour a cup of cold water on herself or pour a cup of hot water on Rong Xue¡¯s face. It wasn¡¯t until her hand was suddenly scalded that she snapped back to her senses. She lowered her head and looked at the cup of water that she had thrown on the floor. She looked at the boiling water by her feet and then at the back of her hand that was scalded red by the boiling water. Anhao cursed in a low voice. Why did she suddenly think of something else when she was drinking the water just now? She looked down at the glass of water and was about to find a broom to sweep the broken glass on the floor to avoid hurting others when Rong Xue had already walked to the door of the boiling water room. When she passed by, she was shocked to see Anhao inside and saw her disheveled state. She immediately stopped and looked at Anhao up and down.¡±You can¡¯t even fill a cup of water. No wonder they¡¯re worried about you taking care of Han Cheng.¡± Anhao¡¯s hands, which were hanging by her side, suddenly clenched into fists. At the same time, she looked coldly at Rong Xue¡¯s mocking eyes.¡±lt¡¯s nothing more than a ¡®bed nurse¡¯ who was specially called over. Usually, no one has come looking for you. Instead, it¡¯s you, Miss Rong, who keeps sticking yourself on people¡¯s bodies like dog skin cream. Now that you finally have a chance to get close to them, you¡¯re showing off arrogantly?¡± Rong Xue chuckled.¡± Gu Anhao, I know that you have a glib tongue. I¡¯ve already experienced it before, so I¡¯m too lazy to argue with you now.¡± After all, the truth was right in front of him. It wasn¡¯t that you could laugh until the end just because you were invincible in bickering. Han City usually took care of you a lot, but when he really needed someone to take care of him, you were useless. Husband and wife should support each other, but just like what I said before, you¡¯ve been dragging Han City down into your unlucky abyss.¡± Anhao suddenly turned around to get the broom from the corner. Seeing her action, Rong Xue looked at her in disbelief.¡±You want to make a move as you speak? If you dare to use your broom to scratch a scratch on me, I¡¯ll make sure that you won¡¯t be able to stay by Zuo Hanchengs side!¡± Anhao had no intention of using a broom to beat someone up. She only walked to the door and swept up the glass fragments on the ground. ¡°A straightforward person doesn¡¯t beat around the bush. There¡¯s no need to poke people¡¯s hearts with every sentence.¡±Anhao looked up at Rong Xue after she finished sweeping the debris. ¡°¡±Just tell me what those three families are trying to do to Zuo Hancheng.¡± ¡± You heard the recording last time. The most difficult thing to deal with is the Qi family. Old General Qi has come out of retirement and vowed to attack Shengling Group. He also vowed to destroy Zuo Hanchengs reputation.¡±Rong Xue stared at Gu Anhao.¡± Gu Anhao, this is all thanks to you.¡±¡® Anhao did not say anything after she threw the broken pieces into the trash can. She gave up on the glass cup and took a sip of cold water from the disposable cup beside her. After calming herself down for half a minute, she put down the cup and walked out without a word, walking past Rong Xue. Rong Xue turned to look at her suspiciously, only to see that although Anhao looked like a loser who had left quickly, she kept her head up and did not have the disappointment or pain of a loser. The next day, Zuo Hancheng heard that Rong Xue had come again. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng had acquiesced to Rong Xue¡¯s care and did not come to Anhao¡¯s ward again. Anhao requested to be discharged from the hospital, but Zuo Hancheng did not agree at first. In the end, under Anhao¡¯s strong request, Zuo Hancheng suddenly went to her ward. At that time, Anhao was sitting on the windowsill in the ward, facing the window. Her legs were swaying outside the window, looking as if she would fall off immediately if the wind blew. This was the top floor of the hospital. Anhao had been complaining that she was too bored in the hospital and wanted to be discharged. In the end, she decided to sit here and said that if she was not allowed to be discharged, she would just sit on the windowsill and breathe in the fresh air. No one could persuade her. In the end, the doctors and nurses were afraid that something would really happen to her, so they quickly went to inform Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng finally came to her ward after a few days. When he entered Anhao¡¯s ward, the first thing he saw was the curtains that were constantly being adjusted by the spring breeze outside the window. Anhao, who seemed to be sitting very steadily on the windowsill, was also faintly swaying. ¡°What are you doing in the hospital?¡± Hearing Zuo Hanchengs voice, Anhao immediately raised her eyebrows but did not turn back to look at him. Even so, she could hear Zuo Hanchengs footsteps approaching. ¡°l want to be discharged.¡± Anhao said straightforwardly and didn¡¯t bother to beat around the bush. ¡°You have to stay here until I¡¯m discharged.¡± ¡°Even if I get discharged, I won¡¯t go to A High School. It¡¯s too boring to stay in the hospital. You know my personality. I¡¯m bored to death in the hospital all day. If I continue to be bored like this, I¡¯m really going to jump off a building.¡± Even though he knew that Anhao did not know how to dance, Zuo Hancheng still frowned. She wasn¡¯t stupid. Although she was threatening him, she definitely wouldn¡¯t jump. However, the place she was sitting on was too dangerous. If she continued to sit there, there was no guarantee that something would happen. ¡°Come down. If you feel bored, come to my place. It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t stayed in the same ward before. I¡¯ll get Mobai to bring you something that can relieve your boredom.¡± ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m not going to your ward.¡±Anhao said coldly. What a joke. He wanted her to go to his ward and watch Rong Xue proudly bring all kinds of delicious food to take care of him every day. He wanted her to watch from the side. Did he want her to go blind? Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past. The spring wind was particularly strong, and the curtains in the window were swaying in the wind.. Zuo Hancheng subconsciously stepped forward and said,¡±¡±Anhao, come down!¡± Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: Who Is the Real Eliminated (2) Chapter 484: Who Is the Real Eliminated (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Let me be discharged.¡± ¡°Where can you go after you¡¯re discharged?¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to go anywhere than to the hospital. Even if you go to the library every day to sit for a while, it¡¯s much better than being in a daze in the hospital while smelling disinfectant.¡± ¡°You can leave the hospital if you want, but you have to promise that you won¡¯t walk around for the next few days. I still have a week before I¡¯m discharged.¡± ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll just go to the library for a walk.¡±As Anhao spoke, she suddenly turned around to look at Zuo Hancheng. She caught a glimpse of a strange emotion in his eyes, but it was only for a moment. She could not see it clearly and could not help but ask, ¡°If you¡¯re afraid that I¡¯ll cause trouble everywhere after I¡¯m discharged, you can send someone to monitor me. Once I leave the safety zone, you can directly capture me and bring me back to the Gilded Scenic Garden.¡¯ The wind was still blowing fiercely. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao¡¯s legs that were still dangling outside the window. ¡°Come down first.¡± ¡°If you promise me first, I¡¯ll go down.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her pale face that was blown by the wind outside the window and sighed.¡±¡±Come down, 1 promise you.¡± Anhao smiled, turned around, and jumped back into the ward from the window sill. She almost fell in front of Zuo Hancheng. She quickly took a step back, but he did not reach out to help her up. Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to go out and call the hospital staff over to arrange for her discharge, Anhao looked at his indifferent back and said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, is my soup really that bad?¡± He only paused for a moment and did not answer. When a doctor walked in, he walked out immediately. After she was discharged from the hospital, Anhao went to the biggest library in A City and stayed there for an entire day. The people who were sent by Zuo Hancheng to protect her felt that it was strange. Ever since she was discharged from the hospital, this young lady had treated the library as her home. Every time she was in the library, she would be in the military information section. She would sit there and write and draw non-stop every day. They had originally thought that she was so hardworking because she was afraid of delaying the college entrance examination. However, it seemed that she was always in the military information section, but they didn¡¯t think that was the case. After a week, Zuo Hancheng was finally discharged from the hospital. Although his injuries had recovered, the doctor told him that he needed to go home and recuperate. But he didn¡¯t go home. Even though he knew how long Anhao had stayed at home alone after she was discharged, he still didn¡¯t go home. Instead, he went to the company first. Zuo Hancheng finally returned at eight o¡¯clock at night. After sitting in the parking lot for a while, he returned home. When he entered the door, he passed by the sofa in the living room and saw a thick stack of handwritten and printed documents on the coffee table. He paused for a moment and walked over. The thick stack of documents was filled with some dark dealings that no one knew about in the Gu family for many years, as well as evidence of Gu Tianmings corruption and bribery. It included what Anhao had seen and heard when she was young, as well as a series of things such as her kidnapping when she was young. There was also the history of Old General Qi¡¯s merits and demerits in the military region that Anhao had found out from some unknown source. Of course, with Old General Qi¡¯s status in the military region, 90% of the things that could be recorded were merits. Some of the faults were just some simple minor ones that were used to create the illusion that no one was perfect. However, Anhao carefully marked all the processes of Old General Qi¡¯s enlistment, including some sensitive years and times in the military and political circles that were deliberately ignored in the records. Among them, some suspicious movements that Old General Qi participated in and many suspicious places were marked. There were even records of Qi Weiran¡¯s relationship with Yi Zeyang when she went abroad to study and tried to get involved in business. The Qi family was a military family, and the rules of the military in the country were that they could not do business. When Qi Weiran was in her teens, she was sent to the army by her family and had a military rank on her head. However, Qi Weiran had the courage to expand her business overseas and try to get a share of the cup of Geng. This must have been supported by Old General Qi and colluded with the secret forces. There were thick handwritten books and printed documents. The beautiful and dense handwriting was so dense that she would not have written so many words even in her three years of high school. In fact, many of the Yi family¡¯s business resources, as well as the marriage between the Qi and Yi families, and other related matters were recorded in it. After she was discharged from the hospital, she spent all her time in the library and focused on these things? Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned to look at every corner of the room, but he did not see Anhao. After flipping through the documents, a newly printed divorce agreement suddenly fell out. This divorce agreement was no longer the one stained with Anhao¡¯s blood. Even the contents had changed slightly. Anhao didn¡¯t make any requests in the divorce agreement from a few days ago. In the last clause of the newly printed divorce agreement, Anhao had written down a request. She hoped that after the divorce, he would sponsor her to study abroad for a few years. All the sponsorship fees and tuition fees would be returned in installments after she returned from her studies. She would pay it off within five years. Moreover, all the properties that he had placed under her name would be returned to him. Other than the sponsorship fees and tuition fees, she did not want anything else. Zuo Hancheng looked at the divorce agreement in his hand, his eyes silent. Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. Anhao walked out with exaggerated dark circles under her eyes, yawning as she walked. When Zuo Hancheng looked at her, she immediately stretched and leaned against the door with a sleepy expression on her face.¡±Are those things useful? I¡¯ve been investigating for a long time, and I didn¡¯t spend so much effort in vain. ¡°It¡¯s useful.¡± Zuo Hancheng put down the documents.¡± It only took you a few days to record so much. Did you sleep at all these days?¡±¡± It was impossible for these records to be just information collected in the library. Many of them were summarized based on her memory. She had probably been working on these things for the past few nights. Anhao didn¡¯t answer. She just leaned against the door and looked at him indifferently.¡±So you saw the divorce agreement, right?¡± ¡°Do you want a divorce so badly?¡± Anhao smiled.¡± I don¡¯t think you have any intention of keeping me by your side. I can borrow some money to go overseas for a few years before you go bankrupt. Then, you and Rongxue can be a couple in China while 1 live comfortably outside with your money. This should be the best revenge for the mistress, don¡¯t you think so?¡±¡± ¡°It¡¯s a good choice. It¡¯s indeed something that you, Gu Anhao, can do.¡±Zuo Hancheng picked up the divorce agreement again and took a look at it. There was a hidden forbearance in his eyes that she could not understand. Anhao stared at him. She knew that Zuo Hancheng would not be defeated so easily.. Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Who Was the Real Eliminated (3) Chapter 485: Who Was the Real Eliminated (3) Translator: 549690339 Perhaps being attacked from both sides was only temporary. She knew that Zuo Hanchengs abilities were not limited to what she knew. Zuo Hancheng, whom she had never seen before, was about to be released from the gatehouse. It was still unknown whether it would be the ordeal of Shengling Group or the unpredictable turmoil that some people who were not afraid of death would experience. ¡°Which school do you want to go to?¡± Finally, Zuo Hancheng put down the divorce agreement and looked at her. ¡°l don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m interested in either. I might need to learn some basic knowledge before considering which major to study.¡± ¡°You can go abroad or study abroad. It¡¯s true that you can¡¯t continue studying at A High. There¡¯s no need for a divorce.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very necessary. At least if I fall in love with any man overseas, 1 can marry him directly if I want to.¡± ¡°And this way, even if I leave, I don¡¯t have to worry about whether you¡¯ll fool around with any woman! And you don¡¯t have to worry that you won¡¯t rekindle your old feelings with anyone! Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Anhao said as she walked over. She poured two glasses of water and pushed one glass in front of him while holding another glass in her hand. ¡°There doesn¡¯t seem to be any alcohol at home, so I¡¯ll replace it with water. To be honest, such an amicable breakup really doesn¡¯t suit my personality, but I didn¡¯t expect it to end up like this. And I can feel that you want me to leave.¡± Anhao said with a smile,¡±¡®It¡¯s good to leave.¡± She downed the glass of water in one gulp and drank the water until it tasted like wine. She was probably the only one who could drink it. In fact, Anhao felt that her performance tonight was a little serious, but in front of Zuo Hancheng, she had to be serious. All the things that had happened in the past made it impossible for her to wail and make a scene in front of Zuo Hancheng. She even cried until she was exhausted. Even falling out with him seemed like she was too immature. Zuo Hancheng had once wanted to turn this rebellious girl into a sensible girl. Now that she was so serious and calm, he should be able to see her change and her determination. She was waiting for him to finish the glass of ¡± breakup water ¡°, waiting for him to accompany him to complete this last childish act. However, Zuo Hancheng put down the glass of water in front of her. The glass cup made a crisp sound on the crystal coffee table. He had not placed it heavily, but the sound was still loud enough to hit her heart. ¡°Within three days, Lin Qing will help you complete the procedures to go abroad.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not look at her. After putting down the cup, he did not even glance at the divorce agreement on the coffee table. He turned around and left. Seeing Zuo Hanchengs indifferent back, Anhao quickly turned around.¡± ¡°Left¡­ Zuo Hancheng had already reached the door, but he suddenly stopped and did not turn back. He only turned his back to her. After a moment of silence, he said coldly, ¡°¡±The divorce agreement will be sent to you within a month.¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment. The door in front of her had already opened and closed, and Zuo Hanchengs figure had already disappeared. She slowly turned to look at the glass of water on the coffee table. Three days. Lin Qing was indeed arranging Anhao¡¯s overseas trip within three days, and he didn¡¯t ask a single word about Anhao¡¯s sudden departure. In the past three days, Zuo Hancheng had not appeared, and Anhao had not heard anything about him. It was as if he had evaporated from her world overnight. Overnight, the person who had been squeezed into one world was suddenly separated into two worlds. Before she was about to go to the airport, Anhao suddenly received a call from Gu Tianming. She didn¡¯t know if Gu Tianming had suddenly found out some news or was provoked by something, but after calling, he cursed crazily,¡±Gu Anhao, I didn¡¯t expect that I, Gu Tianming, would really raise an ingrate when I adopted you in the Gu family for the past five years!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say a word. She only heard the curses on the other end. She knew that he must have encountered some obstacles or something that could agitate him. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn¡¯t call her at such a critical time. Wasn¡¯t he afraid that she would find something to use against him? Gu Shishi¡¯s voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the line. Her voice sounded like she was crying and cursing. Anhao did not know what had happened to Gu Shishi since she was kidnapped and rescued. She was too lazy to find out, but now it sounded like it was a mess on the other end of the line. It also seemed like something unexpected had happened. However, although it was unexpected, it should be quite exciting. Hence, Anhao patiently listened to the commotion on the other side of the phone. She could only hear Gu Shishi cursing non-stop from afar. Then, Mrs. Gu took the phone and said,¡±¡®Gu Anhao, we raised you in the Gu family for five years not so that you could secretly spy on us. 1 really didn¡¯t expect you to have so many schemes at such a young age. Isn¡¯t Anpings matter enough to give you a blow? Didn¡¯t you get a blow from the Qi family? You¡¯re actually still alive and kicking! Gu Anhao, you really disappoint me!¡± Mrs. Gu¡¯s voice was different from the calm and graceful tone she usually pretended to have. For a moment, she was very similar to the crazy woman who broke her ribs with a vase. Anhao answered the call and sneered,¡±¡±Disappointment is nothing. 1 haven¡¯t made you feel despair yet.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao! You heartless thing. If it weren¡¯t for our Gu family, you would have died on the streets long ago! You¡¯re an ingrate! Sooner or later, he would be struck by lightning! ¡°Just how powerless are you now that you want the heavens to punish me?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, if this continues, your backer, Zuo Hancheng, will fall with us! Haven¡¯t you heard of this saying? Inflicting 1,000 damage to the enemy and 800 damage to oneself! Neither you nor Zuo Hancheng will have a good ending!¡¯ ¡°Heh¡­Even if it¡¯s a loss, it¡¯ll be on my head. It has nothing to do with Zuo Hancheng! Don¡¯t think that your Qi family is invincible. In this world, there will never be a true friend who can fight with you to the end. Be careful that the person who eats you alive in the end will be your best ¡®friend¡¯ now.¡± Gu Anhao, what do you mean?¡± Then, there was another commotion on the other end of the phone. It was unknown what was breaking. What exactly happened that made this family of three so unsettled? Where was their backer, Old General Qi? What about their arm, the Yi Group? It¡¯s only been two days, and it¡¯s already in such a mess? It seemed that the evidence that she had gathered for the past few days based on her memory and judgment was not completely useless in Zuo Hanchengs hands. However, this effect came too quickly. She was still immersed in the tragedy of being a divorcee and had no time to feel this joy. Anhao was annoyed by the commotion on the other end. After waiting for a while, she saw that they couldn¡¯t get to the point. She raised her hand to pick her ears and hung up the phone.. Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Who Was the Real Eliminated (4) Chapter 486: Who Was the Real Eliminated (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao didn¡¯t even greet Chunchun and Huang Amao before she left. She was afraid that the two women would hijack the plane, so she could only wait until everything was settled after she left. She had been staying in the Liu Jing Garden for the past three days. She thought that she could have a meal with Zuo Hancheng before she left. After all, Zuo Hancheng had agreed to the divorce and agreed to her request to study abroad. He should come back to see her before she left. But¡­ Zuo Hancheng did not show up until Anhao was in the car heading to the airport. In the airport, in front of the security checkpoint, in the waiting room, there was no trace of him. Before the plane took off, Anhao suddenly felt like she had a strange dream recently. The speed at which the dream progressed made her a little nervous. When she woke up, she was actually on a journey. Zuo Hancheng still did not show up until the plane took off. Lin Qing helped her book a first-class cabin, which was very quiet. Anhao leaned back in her seat and looked down at the ring on her ring finger. She remembered that she had forgotten to take off her ring. She remembered that Zuo Hancheng had said that he would send her the divorce agreement, so she raised her hand and tried to take it off. Perhaps it was because he had gained a little weight recently, but it was not easy to take off the ring. After trying for a long time, he could only do it. It seemed that he could only wait until the plane landed and he could borrow soap or dishwashing liquid to try to take it off when he stayed somewhere. ¡® Respected passengers, you are on the international flight XXXX¡­ Please fasten your seat belt¡­Turn off your phone and all electronic devices¡­¡± Anhao picked up her phone and took a look. Just a second ago, her phone rang with a text message. However, the moment the screen lit up, it showed the departure information of the airline company and the insurance related to the flight. She left too suddenly. No one knew that she would leave today, so her phone was silent. It was so quiet that she felt as if she had returned to the world that only belonged to her. The man named Zuo Hancheng stood at the top, and she could not reach him from then on. The moment the plane took off, the sky was blue, as if it was a sign of safety. At a certain moment, Anhao closed her eyes tiredly and leaned back in her seat. She turned to look at the cloudless sky outside. As they got further and further away from the ground, the ground outside the window gradually revealed its original outline. Everything seemed to have returned to its original orbit overnight. She recalled the time when she accidentally went to Zuo Hanchengs room to deliver five bottles of wine. In the end, he dragged her into the bathroom and washed her clothes and wig with cold water. At that time, she had already cursed all eight generations of his ancestors in her heart. However, because Zuo Hancheng was too domineering and shameless, she had no choice but to listen to his instructions and follow him home. She remembered that Zuo Hancheng had said that she was a dirty kitten and that he had only saved her and washed her up. She recalled the teasing look in Zuo Hanchengs eyes when he said that she was Mrs. Zuo, and the gentleness in his eyes when he treated a child. She remembered the slap on her face from Mrs. Gu and Yi Zeyang. She had tried her best to walk straight out of the school gate on a drunken night, but she had fallen into his arms. He had pushed her into the car with an unfriendly expression, hitting her head so hard that it hurt¡­ She remembered that she had fought with Han Ru in school. No one believed her, and Zuo Hancheng had descended like a god. He had said,¡± I believe you.¡± She remembered the two of them eating instant noodles together in the cafeteria of A High School. A group of girls surrounded them and took pictures of them. In the end, none of those photos were successfully published on the Internet. At that time, she was already frightened by Zuo Hanchengs intimidation. A person who could easily control the media and public opinion was so scary. She remembered when Zuo Hancheng forced her to accompany him to attend the Feast at Hongmen. He knew that there was something wrong with the wine, but he still drank it. However, it was as if he had already planned everything. When she supported him and staggered away, the few business leaders who were schemed against by him cursed in regret behind him. She remembered how much Zuo Hanchengs wine tasted like. She recalled the scene of Zuo Hancheng rushing into her ward and kicking open the door after the building explosion. She recalled how he leaned against her weakly, and how his hands were stained with blood. She thought of so many days, the passionate hugs she had with him, the fighting and the rubbing of their ears. He also remembered that night, at the end of the corridor on the 18th floor of the hotel, he and Rong Xue kissed in front of the window. The last thing she remembered was that no matter how unreasonable she was, no matter how much she was tormented, he would always use great patience to accompany her. The smile in his eyes, the countless nights when she kicked the blanket away from his embrace, and was then hugged back by him with one arm¡­ She thought about how she insisted on getting a divorce before she left. She thought about the look in Zuo Hanchengs eyes when he placed the cup on the coffee table. She thought about his back view and the coldness he left her in the end. Shengling Group. The door to the CEO¡¯S office was suddenly pushed open. When Rong Xue barged into the office, she did not see Zuo Hancheng. Her expression changed drastically.¡±Did Han Cheng send Gu Anhao off?¡± Mobai, who was in the office arranging the documents for a meeting, turned around and saw Rong Xue who had suddenly barged in. He did not say anything at first, but put the documents in his hands aside. ¡°Mobai, is Hancheng not in the company? Did he send Gu Anhao off?¡± ¡°No, President Zuo did not go.¡± Mobai did not turn back to look at her and continued to organize other documents. With his back facing Rong Xue, he said in a light voice,¡±¡±But Miss Rong, what are you doing here now?¡± ¡°Where is the Cold City?¡± Rong Xue did not answer her question and continued to ask about the matter that concerned her the most. MO Bai looked at her and said,¡± President Zuo won¡¯t see anyone today. Miss Rong, please go back.¡±¡± ¡°What does he mean by letting Gu Anhao go now? He knows that if Gu Anhao leaves now, the Qi and Gu families will only point their fingers at him. Now that Gu Anhao has gone far away and left such a big mess to Han City, she¡­¡± Seeing the anger in Rong Xue¡¯s eyes, Mobai¡¯s gaze was indifferent and his voice was also indifferent. ¡°¡±Didn¡¯t you force her to leave?¡± Rong Xue¡¯s gaze suddenly stopped on Mobai. ¡°He has already left, and President Zuo is not here. Miss Rong, I¡¯m just an assistant. There¡¯s no need to act so thoroughly.¡±MobMobai turned around and continued to tidy up the things on the table. ¡°l didn¡¯t¡­ Before he could finish his explanation, Mobai picked up his phone and told him about the meetings and schedules of the various departments in the company. Then, he turned around and walked towards the door.. Chapter 487 - Chapter 487: Who Was the Real Eliminated (5) Chapter 487: Who Was the Real Eliminated (5) Translator: 549690339 He saw that she was still standing there, staring at him. Mobai also glanced at her without any emotion in his eyes. However, when he walked out of the office, he looked back at her at the same time.¡±President Zuo isn¡¯t here, and you¡¯re not an employee of my company. It doesn¡¯t seem appropriate for you to stay in the office alone.¡± It was not that Rong Xue could not hear the driving intent in his words. She turned to look at him and did not explain further. She only asked,¡±Where is Cold City now? He had already delayed too many things because of Gu Anhao. Could it be that he had not returned to the company and returned to his original path after Gu Anhao left? If this continues, Han City will be destroyed by Gu Anhao¡­¡± Mobai¡¯s eyes didn¡¯t move, and he said calmly,¡±¡®President Zuo hasn¡¯t left the company for the past few days. Miss Rong, you¡¯re worrying too much.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s expression froze as she looked at the mocking and cold look in Mobai¡¯s eyes.¡±¡± Mobai, Gu Anhao has already left. Moreover, her departure has nothing to do with me. I don¡¯t understand what you meant just now, but¡­¡± Niobai didn¡¯t finish listening to her words. He glanced at the time on his watch and said calmly,¡±¡±President Zuo didn¡¯t go to the airport. He¡¯s on the roof of the building. Rong Xue¡¯s voice froze. She turned around and was about to go to the elevator when Mobai looked at her back and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Even if you find President Zuo and see him, it doesn¡¯t seem to be any different. Why do you have to embarrass yourself again and again? A few days ago in the hospital, President Zuo obviously used you as a sharp sword to completely make Anhao give up on staying and taking risks with him. Miss Rong, you¡¯re really different now compared to five or six years ago. It¡¯s as if you¡¯ve become a different person. ¡± Rong Xue stopped walking into the elevator for a moment. She did not turn back, but her back was facing Mobai. She smiled bitterly and said softly,¡±¡± You don¡¯t understand how painful it is to lose Zuo Hancheng. You also don¡¯t know how distorted my world has become because of his departure in the United States. I want to put my world back into its right place, but without his support, my strength alone is not enough¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she walked into the elevator. Mobai looked in the direction of the elevator and did not say anything else. He only looked at the time again. At this time, Gu Anhao should have already been in the sky above A City. She looked back at the window at the end of the corridor. What a rare good weather. On the roof of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters, Rong Xue pushed open the door and barged in. The first thing she saw was Wenner, who was also on the roof. Although this place was on the rooftop, it was a private area. Ordinary employees were definitely not allowed to enter at will. There were also private spaces and some open-air tea rooms on the rooftop. However, when they passed through the open-air tea room, they did not see Zuo Hancheng. There was only Wenner, who was holding a pot of freshly brewed tea and about to turn around. Wenner heard the commotion and turned around to look at Rong Xue. His blue eyes glanced at her and he did not say anything. When she approached, he slowly put down the teapot in his hand and put one hand in his pocket. He just stood there. ¡°Han Cheng is inside?¡± Rong Xue glanced at Wenner, then at the glass rooms and exercise rooms in front of her. Wenner didn¡¯t answer. When she approached him, his lips curled up slightly.¡±Miss Rong, it¡¯s really a coincidence that you came at this time. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you didn¡¯t find Mr. Zuo downstairs and only found this place after a long time, I would have really misunderstood that you were here to stop Mr. Zuo from sending Anhao away.¡± Since Mobai had just said something like that, it was obvious that Wenner would not be able to answer him correctly. Rong Xue did not respond to his question and continued to look in the direction of the glass room and the exercise room.¡±ls Han City inside?¡± ¡°Yes, but he won¡¯t see you.¡± Wenner raised his eyebrows.¡± I was going to drink this tea with Mr. Zuo. Since you¡¯re here, why don¡¯t 1 treat you to two cups?¡±¡± As he spoke, Wenner picked up the teapot on the crystal round table and poured two cups of tea into the clean cups beside him before putting them down. Rong Xue did not have the patience to watch a foreigner play traditional Chinese tea ceremony, nor did she have the patience to listen to his pun. She only glanced at the cup of tea and did not drink it. ¡± You rushed here in such a hurry. You must have not even drunk water on the way here. Why don¡¯t you drink a cup?¡± This is a good tea that Mister Zuo has secretly kept. If it wasn¡¯t for the timing, outsiders like us wouldn¡¯t have been able to drink it easily.¡±Wenner picked up his glass and took a sip. He looked more and more like a Chinese man. Tsk, you couldn¡¯t say that. He wasn¡¯t a completely orthodox American in the first place. If he continued to remold, strictly speaking, he was of mixed Chinese and American descent. ¡°l know you guys have a problem with me, but wasn¡¯t Gu Anhao willing to leave? 1 didn¡¯t force her, nor did I use any tricks.¡±Rong Xue was displeased by Wenner¡¯s tactful obstruction.¡±¡± If there¡¯s any problem, I¡¯ll talk to Han Cheng myself. Wenner, even if you¡¯ve been meddling in Gu Anhao¡¯s case this time, even if you¡¯re Han Chengs most capable assistant and friend, you don¡¯t have to¡­¡¯ ¡°Miss Rong.¡± Wenner interrupted her slowly,¡±¡±You might be thinking too much. Between us, no one has considered your existence and your problems these days.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s face immediately turned pale.¡±¡±You¡­¡± ¡°l have seen many criminals before. Most of them are still unwilling to admit defeat even after being arrested, especially those female criminals. Even if they face a lifetime in prison, they still believe that what they did was right.¡± Wenner said as he slowly blew on the tea in his cup.¡± Take Miss Rong for example. You¡¯ve always thought that Gu Anhao couldn¡¯t compare to you at all.Search newnovel/0 rg on google You¡¯re too proud. Even though the separation from Mr. Zuo was a huge blow to you, you still pulled yourself together and thought that you would be together again one day. However, you found out that a girl who was so much weaker than you actually defeated you. That¡¯s why you were unwilling, and that¡¯s why you hated her more and more.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s face stiffened as she glared at not your prisoner. You don¡¯t have to leave these psychology books with me. Moreover, these words have no effect on me.¡¯ ¡°l didn¡¯t expect it to do anything. ¡°Winnar snorted and glanced at her indifferently.¡±Mr. Zuo will not see you. Even if Gu Anhao has already left, even if you are only a few meters away from him, the result will be the same.¡± ¡°Oh, right, Miss Rongs confidence depends on your reputation over the years and your appeal in front of the media. But other than that, you¡¯re really far inferior to Anhao.¡¯ Rong Xue¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement when she heard the words ¡®far from good¡¯..¡± Wenner, what do you mean?!¡± Chapter 488 - Chapter 488: Who Is the Real Eliminated (6) Chapter 488: Who Is the Real Eliminated (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Just from the fact that you don¡¯t even know why Anhao left, you¡¯re really far inferior to her. ¡°Wenner really could not help but want to continue provoking this international superstar¡¯s face. When the panic and anger in her eyes intersected, he snorted and turned to look at the glass room not far away. Rong Xue followed his gaze. The glass room was not transparent, so she could not see anything inside. However, she was sure that Zuo Hancheng was there. ¡°During the days when Anhao was locked up, the Qi family took advantage of the opportunity to give evidence and secretly met with her.¡±¡± You wouldn¡¯t have thought that Anhao had already been threatened by Old General Qi when she was in there,¡± Wenner said lightly.¡± She even agreed to Old General (Zi t s conditions.¡¯ Rong Xue¡¯s expression froze when she heard that. At the same time, she looked at Wenner¡¯s calm and cold blue eyes in confusion. Wenner said as he looked in the direction of the sky. From here, he could not see the planes flying over A City, but he still looked in the direction of the sky and said slowly,¡± Mr. Zuo was involved in the underworld in the United States. This is the only thing that can be used against him. No one has investigated all these years, but this time, the Qi family has really invested a lot in order to bring down Mr. Zuo. It¡¯s precisely because of this that they have a reason to threaten Anhao.¡¯ ¡°We all thought that Gu Anhao was frightened because she hit someone with her car. You even thought that your existence had finally affected their relationship as a husband and wife. You thought that Gu Anhao¡¯s heart had wavered, so she made such a fuss about divorcing Nir. Zuo.¡± ¡± However, the truth is that Qi Weiran had already woken up a long time ago. Old General Qi found out what kind of existence Gu Anhao was to Yi Zeyang, and he did not want his granddaughter¡¯s marriage to have a possibility of a divorce in the future, so he used the car accident to give Anhao and Mr. Zuo a blow. However, Mr. Zuo was not someone he could easily take down, so he put in a lot of effort on Anhao and used Mr. Zuo¡¯s involvement in the underworld to force Anhao to leave China. She was forced to stay in China for the next few years after Qi Weiran and Zeyang got married. Of course, there were also some irresistible reasons that the Gu family intervened in the middle. At that time, the Qi family gave her a choice. She could either leave China or admit all the evidence and stay there for the rest of her life.¡± Rong Xue¡¯s gaze was strange. It was as if what she heard was not what Gu Anhao had experienced at all. It was a process that she had not expected at all. ¡°It was all this that made Anhao choose to get a divorce. So, Niiss Rong, you¡¯re not the winner. In fact, in front of Anhao, that twenty-year-old girl, you¡¯re really useless. You don¡¯t have the right to despise her weakness and incompetence. ¡± ¡°Actually, when Anhao boarded the plane and left, Rongxue, you were also completely eliminated.¡± Before Wenner could finish his sentence, Rong Xue turned to look at the glass room in front of her. There was no soundproofing between the spaces on the top floor. Zuo Hancheng was there, but he did not speak. She stared in the direction of the glass room, hoping that he would walk out and tell her that all of this was just an excuse for Gu Anhao, the little girl who caused trouble everywhere. It was just that Wenner was selfishly protecting Gu Anhao. The truth of the matter should be that Gu Anhao had been causing him trouble all this while. How could Gu Anhao be so sensible? She was a twenty-year-old girl who did not even have any social experience. She was clearly a self-righteous and arrogant child. How could she have wronged herself for Zuo Hancheng? How could she have been hiding it until now? However, Zuo Hancheng had already known about this. The space on the roof of Shengling Group was sunny, but it was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard clearly. Winnal looked at Rong Xue, using his eyes to signal her, Zuo Hancheng, in front of the glass room to rest, again using his eyes to signal her retreat, behind her, continuing to go to Zuo Hancheng, in front of him to humiliate himself, or to retain the last, finally face, leave this place, let her choose. Rong Xue looked in the direction of the glass room and suddenly laughed. However, the smile did not reach her eyes. She only looked in that direction with red eyes, even though she could not see Zuo Hancheng at all. She closed her eyes and finally opened them. She tried hard to hold back her tears, but her voice was choked with sobs. ¡°Since you know why Gu Anhao did this, why did you agree to let her go?¡± There was no response from the glass room. Rong Xue¡¯s tears finally fell.¡±Hancheng, do you really not want to see me again?¡± Wenner did not say anything else. He sat down beside her and poured another cup of tea. He sipped it lightly until Rong Xue¡¯s eyes looked down in disappointment.¡±There are so many troubles in the country now. It¡¯s not a bad thing for Anhao to leave. At least it can ensure that Mr. Zuo will be able to deal with the obstacles around him cleanly and without having to worry about Anhao¡¯s safety. Secondly¡­¡± Rong Xue turned to look at him. When she looked at Wenner, it was as if all the resentment and sadness she felt for Zuo Hancheng had landed on Wenner¡¯s face. Wenner didn¡¯t look at her.¡± Anhao needs to grow up. Since she¡¯s already decided, he¡¯ll let her learn to grow up on her own. This kind of love is too selfless, and it¡¯s not the kind of indulgence and love that ordinary people can do. Miss Rong, how would you understand?¡±¡± Rong Xue did not speak for a moment. She looked at Wenner for a long time before she suddenly smiled and turned to walk toward the elevator on the top floor. Rong Xue¡¯s back was very straight. Her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground as she walked away step by step. There was only one sentence repeated in his ears. Rong Xue¡­You¡¯re completely out of the game¡­ Outside the Gilded Scenic Garden, Wenner parked his car by the roadside and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had not had a good night¡¯s sleep for a few days and could not drive back by himself.¡±l think you should go to my place for a few drinks. At least you can have a good sleep.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Zuo Hancheng pushed open the car door and got out of the car. He walked straight in. He opened the door and walked into the house. He didn¡¯t turn on the lights. The street lamps in the neighborhood outside the window illuminated the house with a faint yellow light. He could vaguely see the outline of the furniture. Zuo Hancheng walked in and opened the bedroom door. The lights were off, but the room was spotless. He could see that because some of her luggage had been moved away, the bedroom seemed to have lost its sweet fragrance. There was only the faint moonlight shining through the window on the bed, which was slightly cold. In the corner of the bed, there was a sexy nightgown in the shape of a kitten that Anhao had thrown there before she left. The Persian dance music seemed to be playing in the room at the same time. Anhao, who was wearing the nondescript clothes, twisted around unwillingly, but she looked different. Her expression, which was like a punching bag, reflected in front of him. Zuo Hancheng turned on the lights and looked back at the living room. However, Anhao¡¯s figure was nowhere to be seen on the sofa, and there was no music in his ears. He sighed slightly and felt a faint pain in his stomach again. There was a box of stomach medicine that Anhao had left on the coffee table before she left. He walked over to pick up the stomach medicine and put the two bitter pills into his mouth. He chewed slowly as if he could not feel the strong bitterness spreading in his mouth and swallowed it bit by bit¡­. Chapter 489 - Chapter 489: Three Years, Transformation Transformation (1) Chapter 489: Three Years, Transformation Transformation (1) Translator: 549690339 A month after Anhao arrived in Boston, she had just made a lot of new friends. When she returned to her apartment with a classmate from China, she received an international express delivery. ¡°Anhao, what is this?¡± When the classmate in the apartment helped her receive the parcel, she saw that it was a document. Because everyone was having fun outside before returning to the apartment, some of them were drunk. They didn¡¯t care about privacy and opened the parcel. In the end, a few documents fell out. He looked down and saw the words ¡°divorce agreement¡±. He was stunned. Anhao ran out of the bathroom and saw the things on the floor. She quickly ran over to pick them up and flipped through them from beginning to end. This was the divorce agreement that Zuo Hancheng had given her as promised. It was signed according to the contents that she had drafted previously. He had signed it according to his promise and sent it to her. When she saw the divorce agreement, Anhao stood rooted to the spot. Another roommate who walked out of the apartment curiously walked over and took a look. Everyone was studying abroad and had their own stories. They had just come into contact with a new environment, so no one was too curious or gossipy about other people¡¯s past. However, when he saw the divorce agreement in Anhao¡¯s hand, the roommate who had studied law in China stared at the divorce agreement for a while and muttered, ¡°Whose divorce papers are these? It looks so strange. Something doesn¡¯t feel right¡­¡± Anhao, however, suddenly folded the things in her hands and put them away when she heard the sound beside her. She didn¡¯t pay attention to her roommate¡¯s words and hurriedly turned around and returned to her room. However, when the roommate saw Anhao close the door, he looked in the direction of her door and muttered,¡±¡¯It¡¯s really strange, but why did she have such a big reaction? Anhao rummaged through the box in her room for a long time. In the end, there was only a signed divorce agreement inside. There was nothing else. Finally, she looked at the divorce papers that were thrown on the bed. She flipped to the last page and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s signature. It was the first time she had seen Zuo Hancheng sign for her. It was rare for her to see a signature that could easily fetch tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. After carefully confirming that it was indeed Zuo Hanchengs signature, Anhao suddenly sighed and smiled. She put the divorce papers away and carefully put them in the drawer. At the same time, she put the ring that she took off when she arrived in America in the drawer. After studying at a college in Boston for half a year, Anhao happened to see a student from Taiwan¡¯s tablet. The tablet was showing an electronic report interface. Some media outlets in Taiwan often reported political news and changes related to the Mainland. The electronic report showed the news of City A¡¯s mayor, Gu Tianming, being investigated and taken away a month ago. In the corner below, there was also the news of General Qi, who was over seventy years old, being accused by several major forces in the domestic military. After leaving for half a year, Anhao seemed to be living in another world. It was as if she had almost forgotten everything about the past. When she saw the two news articles, she just read them indifferently and then turned off the screen of the tablet computer. There was no extra expression on her face. Just as she lowered her head and was about to continue writing, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She had once said that Zuo Hancheng was a person who could not be replicated and was not to be easily offended. If a person like him could be easily defeated by others, he would not have achieved so much in his five years in China. People said that if he could not win, he would retreat. However, Zuo Hancheng still had the final say in who was the leader. A year later, Anhao was facing the design exam at the beginning of her second year. She locked herself in the library all day, studying all kinds of academic knowledge and various design drawings. Suddenly, she heard the conversation of the freshmen who had just come here to study. Judging from their accents, they were all Chinese students. She didn¡¯t pay attention at first, but when she heard the familiar name, she turned her head. ¡°Is the person I saw at XX Square the legendary Zuo Hancheng? I¡¯ve heard about him in the country before, but it¡¯s too far away from A City, so I¡¯ve never seen him in person¡­¡± ¡® I heard that Shengling Group¡¯s new planning company was established in Boston. It¡¯s rare for the legendary President Zuo to find time to come to the United States and even more so to Boston to cut the ribbon for the new company. There are a lot of people in the square today, but many foreign media are also here. The scene is more crowded than an international superstar! ¡± ¡± I didn¡¯t expect to see a big BOSS like Zuo Hancheng in my lifetime, and a living big BOSS at that. Didn¡¯t they say that rich people are all ugly? Many successful entrepreneurs ¡®photos have to be edited and photoshopped to barely look good, but Zuo Hancheng is simply an anomaly. Did God make him forget to adjust the ratio when he was born? He¡¯s rich, handsome, and so handsome. He¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°We are currently studying at a famous business school in Boston. Even if the school is divided into many disciplines, everyone in the business school must have heard of Zuo Hanchengs name. Most importantly, he¡¯s Chinese. He really makes us Chinese international students proud. I really admire him. Yesterday, when our new teacher gave us a speech, the first thing he mentioned was Zuo Hancheng, a legendary figure. Today, I actually saw Boss Zuo in the square with my own eyes. Don¡¯t you think we¡¯re too lucky? Hahaha!¡± ¡°You make it sound as if you were the one who got close. There ¡®were so many people and so many security guards at that time. We were hundreds of meters away from the cutting table.¡± ¡°Of course! I¡¯m wearing binoculars! Super handsome ah ah ah ah, I still have a photo taken at that time, it was adjusted to a close-up shot, very clear, you guys look, how handsome! ¡± Zuo Hancheng has long been one of the leading figures in the business field mentioned by the business school in front of a large group of Chinese international students. Actually, there¡¯s nothing to be surprised about. It¡¯s just that I heard that he rarely attends such events. Even if he has a subsidiary company opening, he has never done any cutting. He only has the vice president or assistant do it for him. I didn¡¯t expect him to personally appear in Boston¡­¡± ¡°Actually, Zuo Hancheng isn¡¯t considered Chinese, right? Wasn¡¯t he the legendary heir of the Zuo family? The Zuo family is American, right?¡± ¡± Who knows? Anyway, it¡¯s our Chinese blood that flows in it¡­¡± The voices gradually faded away, and Anhao slowly closed the design album in her hand.. Chapter 490 - Chapter 490: Three Years, Transformation (2) Chapter 490: Three Years, Transformation (2) Translator: 549690339 The discussion about Zuo Hancheng continued, but they walked a little further away. Anhao placed the book on the bookshelf and walked out from the rows of shelves. From the age of 20 to 21, yesterday was her birthday. Her roommates celebrated her birthday with her and were very happy. They drank wine and ate cake. Before she went abroad to study, she had thought that her life was already like that. It was only after Zuo Hancheng entered her world that she was able to add some unexpected splendor to it. However, she did not expect that after she went abroad, she would be faced with completely unfamiliar people and environments. No one knew about her past, and no one would look at her with prejudice. She could make friends here as she pleased, and she could work hard to learn spoken English with a group of foreign students from China. She tried her best to learn new knowledge in every design class. In fact, Anhao did not know how Zuo Hancheng knew her so well. When she did not even know what her hobbies were, Zuo Hanchengs men in America sent her here. It was a famous college in the United States, and the courses she she enrolled in were architectural design and interior design, as well as some knowledge related to business budget. This did not have high requirements for her academic credits and cultural knowledge in the country, so she could start from there very easily. Moreover, it was only after studying here for a while that Anhao realized that she actually liked doing architectural design homework so much. Just like the rooms on the second floor of the Gilt Scenery Garden, she had poured a lot of effort into them. Just like the favorite gift that Zuo Hancheng had given her back then, the set of jewelry that she could match and design as she pleased, she treated it as a treasure. It turned out that she liked to pour her own concept and soul into everything, as if this was the only way to truly belong to her. When did Zuo Hancheng discover her little hobby? Even she herself did not realize it. She only knew that she had been very relaxed during the year she had studied here. Whether it was her interpersonal relationships or her studies, they had advanced by leaps and bounds compared to back in China. She had made many new friends here. Although they were not as close as Chunchun and Huang Amao, they could at least support and comfort each other when they were in a foreign country. She had been in this place for one year, in a new environment and a new world. She thought that she could completely forget everything about A City. She even thought that when Zuo Hancheng sent her the divorce papers, she should really let go of everything in the past and face a new life with a new body and mind. Recently, she had been preparing a design draft for a simulated building. She hadn¡¯t gone to the professor to review it yet. After looking through the design drawings and information for so long, her heart, which was completely focused on her studies, was suddenly disrupted by a few words from those new international students. When she found out that Zuo Hancheng had come to Boston, Anhao did not know what she was expecting. She knew that they were already divorced and that it was her choice back then. She knew that she had deliberately said those words during the divorce to make Zuo Hancheng feel cold towards her. She knew that¡­Even if he was in Boston, he wouldn¡¯t come looking for him. If he was going to come, he would have come yesterday. After all, yesterday was her 21st birthday. But he didn¡¯t appear. So, even if he was in Boston, what could he do? It should be a coincidence. Anhao came out of the library. It was spring again, but Boston was much cooler than China in spring. As soon as she walked out, she tightened her coat and was about to go to the professor to ask for help to review her new design drafts. As soon as she entered the professor¡¯s office, the old professor was looking at the design drafts of other students. Anhao walked in and said softly,¡±¡±Professor, my¡­¡± ¡°Hello.¡± The professor was a Chinese American who spoke both Chinese and English very well. He said that he had stayed in A City a few decades ago, so his relationship with Anhao was especially good. Sometimes, the relationship between the old professor and Anhao was more like a grandfather and granddaughter. When he saw Anhao, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose.¡±¡±You came at the right time. I was just about to find you.¡± ¡°The professor is looking for me?¡± Anhao walked in.¡± ¡°There will be a tender meeting held by several Chinese companies and foreign joint ventures at XX Square this afternoon. There will be many company designs there. I was planning to let you go to the venue to observe and take some of the design drawings of those world-famous big companies. Of course, you must get their permission before taking photos. Otherwise, even if I take them back as teaching materials and not for commercial use, I will still be sued for copyright. You must remember this.¡± When she heard the name XX plaza, Anhao¡¯s expression turned blank for a moment. However, ever since she went abroad to study, she had deliberately restrained her rebellious and impulsive personality. She did not ask any unnecessary questions and only looked at the old professor¡¯s serious expression.¡±XX Square? How could I possibly enter that kind of bidding? Moreover, this kind of event is usually organized by Chinese people. Even if I¡¯m Chinese, they might not give me face.¡± ¡°Sigh, since I asked you to go, I must have my reasons.¡±The old professor smiled and adjusted his glasses.¡±Don¡¯t worry. There are two of my students from many years ago at the tender today. They originally invited me to attend today, but there are too many design drafts that need to be reviewed recently. I don¡¯t have time to go, so I sent you to help take some photos.¡± ¡°No, how could I be unwilling?¡± Anhao wasn¡¯t stupid. No matter what kind of design, it had to go through various practical means to observe and learn before it could get better. The old professor gave her the opportunity to personally go to the scene to see the actual design. It was obvious that he was biased towards her. How could she be so stupid as to say that she wasn¡¯t willing? Although the words XX Square had become a little sensitive to her, the professor wanted the photos urgently. Moreover, the bidding was in the afternoon, so she could not refuse or prepare anything. After coming out of the professor¡¯s office, Anhao looked at the professional camera that the professor had just handed to her to take photos of the design drawings. She fiddled with it and studied how to use it. At the same time, she was considering whether she should ask the school for a badge to prove her identity as a student of this school, so as to avoid being stopped when she really went to the venue. Before she left, she rummaged through her bag and realized that she had forgotten to give the design drafts to the professor. Anhao raised her hand and slapped her head, angry that she had suddenly become a pigs head. Her memory was so bad! However, if he rushed back from the school gate now, he would not be able to make it in time for the auction in the afternoon. She could only store the design drafts in her bag for the time being. She was careful not to break the corners. In the end, she held the camera that the professor gave her like a treasure and rushed to the construction bidding venue of XX Square.. Chapter 491 - Chapter 491: Three Years, Transformation (3) Chapter 491: Three Years, Transformation (3) Translator: 549690339 There were already a lot of Chinese or Chinese companies ¡®managers and staff gathered in the square. Anhao brought the name tag that she had prepared earlier and went forward to explain her identity. After finding the two former students that the professor had mentioned, they brought her into the venue and told her not to be too rash. She first found a place to sit for a while and let her take photos in the corner later. She did not want to attract too much attention and make the companies unhappy. Anhao understood the importance of this. After nodding, she walked back and forth at the edge of the venue with her camera. From time to time, she would look at the large billboard in front of the tender Meeting Meeting. She found that there were many famous graduation pictures designed by some of her college¡¯s graduates in the past few years. She couldn¡¯t help but raise her camera to take a few photos. Then she lowered her head to organize the photos to see if there were any extras. As she was looking at the photos in the camera, a familiar figure suddenly walked past the corner of one of the photos, causing her expression to freeze. Wenner? That was Wenner¡¯s figure. Why was he here? Anhao immediately raised her head and looked in that direction, but there was no sign of him. She couldn¡¯t help but stand up and walk over. She looked left and right, but she didn¡¯t see Wenner anymore. Did he see wrongly? When he looked down at the photo in his hand, he carefully examined it and confirmed that it was Wenner. Perhaps he was just passing by in a hurry and had already gotten into a car by the side of the road or gone somewhere. After all, Zuo Hancheng had been in Boston for the past two days. Even Zuo Hancheng would come to Boston, so it was not strange for Wenner to be here. She had no choice but to continue organizing the photos. When the tender began, she would go to the front of the corner and try to find a good angle so that she could take photos of all the design drawings on the tender. At the same time, after taking photos, she would study the design content on the drawings with the two seniors named by the professors behind her. She also asked them to help ask the companies about the photos. If a company asked to delete them, she would delete them immediately. Fortunately, after an hour of filming, more than 20 particularly famous companies brought their bids one by one. Among them, only three or four were difficult to deal with and requested to be deleted. The others were basically students of the architectural design department. They knew that they were only used as teaching materials and reference plans, so they were not particularly strict about deleting them. They only reminded them not to use them for profit. After Anhao and the two seniors repeatedly promised each other that they would take all the photos, Anhao sat in the corner and continued to fiddle with the camera, checking all the photos she had taken. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t heard your voice from behind just now, 1 really wouldn¡¯t have thought that a little girl like you could really become so hardworking and serious in this year¡¯s time. You look like a particularly obedient and well-behaved female student.¡¯ A voice suddenly came from behind her. Anhao¡¯s expression froze. She turned around and saw Wenner standing behind her with one hand in his pocket. He was smiling smugly at her. Seeing Wenner¡¯s arrogant expression, which was completely devoid of the politeness and self-awareness she had after their reunion, Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She lowered her head and continued to organize the photos in the camera. ¡°Aren¡¯t you surprised to see me?¡± Seeing that she didn¡¯t say anything, Wenner smiled.¡±¡±When did Miss Gu become so calm?¡± ¡°l saw you when I took the photo just now. I just didn¡¯t expect you to still be here.¡±Anhao fiddled with the camera and said,¡±¡±How long have you seen me? Why did you suddenly come to Boston?¡± Seeing her focus on the camera, Wenner frowned. He suddenly reached out to take the camera from her hand and looked down at the photos she had taken. Anhao was stunned. She turned to look at him and stood up.¡±Give me back my camera.¡± Wenner flipped through it and seemed to have realized why she was here. He couldn¡¯t help but snort and put the camera back in her hand.¡± I was wondering why you suddenly came here. I almost misunderstood that you were here to look for Mr. Zuo. Oh, no, strictly speaking, it¡¯s your ex-husband¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s originally calm expression instantly darkened. She took the camera and checked it again before turning it off. She put it into the camera bag on her shoulder and said,¡±Why should I come and find him?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. You were the one who accepted Old General Qi¡¯s threat and decided to leave Mr. Zuo to go abroad. You were the one who chose to get a divorce before going abroad. You were also the one who made the final decision. ¡°Wenner snorted. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched, but she did not refute him. She just looked at him strangely.¡±¡± It¡¯s already been a year. What¡¯s the point of coming here to expose someone¡¯s wound?¡± ¡°It¡¯s bonng. 1 Just almost misunderstood that you really came to see mm.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes in annoyance.¡± Of course not. I was sent here by the professor to take some design drafts for his reference during class.¡±¡± ¡® It¡¯s a good thing that it¡¯s not,¡± Wenner smiled.¡± Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid your hopes would be dashed.¡±¡± ¡°What missed?¡± While Anhao was tidying herself up, she glanced at him strangely. ¡°Because Mr. Zuo left Boston an hour and a half ago. He will return home at 3:30 this afternoon.¡±Wenner raised his hand to look at the time.¡±¡±We should be arriving at the airport soon.¡± Only then did Anhao¡¯s movements stop. She looked at her toes silently and did not say a word for a while. Finally, she regained her senses and looked up at Wenner. ¡°Even if you look for him, he might not meet you. ¡°Wenner met her clear eyes and smiled coldly.¡±Are you surprised?¡± Anhao looked at him expressionlessly.¡±¡±l¡¯m not surprised. We¡¯re people from two different worlds. Back then, we were forced to squeeze into one world. I¡¯ve already caused enough trouble for him. I even borrowed money from him to study abroad. I know what I¡¯m doing. I won¡¯t be unwilling to go back and hold on to the past after I leave.¡± As she spoke, she carried her bag and looked like she was in a hurry to go back to school. At the same time, she said,¡±But how did you know that the reason I left was related to Old General Qi?¡± ¡°At first, 1 was fooled by you, little girl. It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t discover your deal with the Qi family in time. When I found out later, you were already a stubborn donkey that couldn¡¯t be pulled back. ¡°Wenner said lightly. Anhao replied with an ¡± oh ¡± and didn¡¯t say anything else. Wenner looked at her calm expression.¡±¡±Do you really think that Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t notice your abnormality back then? He has been waiting for you to tell him yourself, but you are so stubborn.¡± Anhao suddenly raised her hand and lifted the strap of her backpack. She said expressionlessly,¡±¡±lt¡¯s all in the past. Although I was the one who suggested the divorce, didn¡¯t he agree to it? Why are you telling me this now?¡±As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to walk past him. Suddenly, she felt a grip on her arm. Wenner quietly raised his hand to hold her arm, forcing her to stop in her tracks.. Chapter 492 - Chapter 492: Three Years, Transformation (4) Chapter 492: Three Years, Transformation (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°In the two months before you left, Rongxue used a moral kidnapping method to make Mr. Zuo have no choice but to temporarily take care of her matters. Don¡¯t you want to know the truth about why Mr. Zuo still had contact with Rongxue?¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks, but she did not turn around. She just calmly looked at the center of XX Square in the distance. ¡± When Rongxue was 18 years old, she fell out with her family and insisted on getting involved in the entertainment industry. As a result, she cut ties with the Rong family and worked alone in a third-tier entertainment company in Los Angeles. It was very difficult for her to climb up the ladder. Moreover, the American entertainment industry back then was more difficult than the Chinese entertainment industry you know. The relationships between people were more complicated. She never became famous, so she could only occasionally take on small roles.¡± ¡°Mister Zuo¡¯s personality is actually very cold and indifferent. At least in matters other than you, he has always been an indifferent person who doesn¡¯t explain much. Besides, the old man had interfered in the matter between him and Rong Xue, which led to Rong Xue¡¯s miscarriage and infertility. Because of the old man¡¯s interference, there was no way to explain it to you. But in reality, even if Mr. Zuo and Rong Xue had been together in the past, they might not have truly loved her.¡± Hearing Old Master ZUo¡¯s words, Anhao paused and turned to look at Wenner. Seeing that she finally had a reaction, Wenner leaving today too, but because I had some personal matters in the afternoon, I delayed it for a few hours. It¡¯s a flight tonight, so aren¡¯t you going to treat me to a cup of coffee?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. Then, she turned around and looked at some cafes around XX Square that seemed to have a good environment. She chose a cafe that didn¡¯t seem to have many people and walked straight over. Wenner walked behind her.¡± You suddenly left a year ago. Your two good friends, Chunchun and Huang Mao, right? They ran to Zuo Hancheng and caused a scene.¡¯ Anhao immediately paused and turned to look at him.¡±Did anything happen to the two of them?¡± She clearly remembered that when Chunchun and Huang Amao called her later, her tone was very calm. She didn¡¯t hear how angry she was. ¡°Of course, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the two of them are your best friends, Mr. Zuo really wouldn¡¯t have bothered with them. However, they are your best friends. Mr. 72110 made an exception and invited them to the CEO¡¯s office.¡¯ Anhao was relieved. She thought that Chunchun and Huang Amao had gone to Shengling Group¡¯s square to cause trouble. Luckily, Zuo Hancheng did not give them the chance to cause a scene. After entering the cafe and sitting down, Wenner took the initiative and ordered two cups of coffee. Then, the two of them sat in a quiet corner of the cafe, facing each other. One of them was smiling at her, while the other was silently looking at the crowd coming and going outside the window from time to time. Seeing that Ann had turned over a new leaf in the past year and worked hard to grow into a mature and steady person, Wenner smiled and raised his hand to touch his chin.¡±lt seems that it¡¯s not a bad thing for him to let you study abroad. City A didn¡¯t give you many good memories. A change of environment can really change the hostility in you. It¡¯s only been a year. If it¡¯s another two years, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯ll become.¡± ¡°Human nature doesn¡¯t change. Viciousness only appears when facing people you hate.¡±Anhao glanced at him.¡± Of course, if you want to see hostility in me now, I can satisfy you.¡±¡® ¡°Hey, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. It¡¯s rare for a little girl like you to tell me that you don¡¯t hate me. This is really flattering. ¡°Wenner continued to laugh and joke. At the same time, seeing that the Waiter in the cafe had not come over, he laughed in a deep voice and said,¡±When we talked about Rongxue, about her past with Mr. Zuo, and about the things she did in A City a year ago, which one do you want to hear more?¡± At this moment, the Waiter walked over and put down two cups of coffee. Anhao picked up a cup of coffee and put it to her mouth to test the temperature. Then, she held it in her hands and did not drink it. ¡°Whatever.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll make it short.¡¯ Wenner did not feel uncomfortable with Anhao¡¯s indifferent attitude. Instead, he was happy to see Anhao becoming more and more mature. Zuo Hancheng was not wrong about her. This little girl was rebellious because of her childhood environment and the things she experienced. However, as long as she was given a good space, she would definitely grow up to be the most beautiful person. ¡® Rongxue used to have a hard time in the entertainment industry. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she was threatened by the investors of a film company and forced to sleep with the investors when she was filming a less mainstream movie that year, and if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she ran out of the private room and bumped into Mr. Zuo who was there for a social gathering that night, she might not have been able to escape from that abyss in her life.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at Wenner. ¡°¡±Is the entertainment industry in the United States that dirty?¡± ¡°This industry has never been clean, no matter which country it is. ¡°Wenner said in a low voice,¡± Mr. Zuo has never liked people in this industry, so he¡¯s not interested in any company that¡¯s involved in the entertainment industry. Of course, Yi Xing is an exception. It was a film that he had to step out of when he first arrived in China because there¡¯s nothing more profitable and suitable for initial investment than an entertainment company. Compared to Yi Xings initial glory, it has long been abandoned by Mr. Zuo.¡± ¡± Rongxue was an exception. She was different from the Rongxue you know. She was spoiled by the Rong family since she was young. She was fearless and thought that she could make a name for herself outside. However, she met Mr. Zuo after hitting a wall everywhere.¡± ¡± The main reason why he and Rongxue are related is that the investor happened to be one of the people who offended Mr. Zuo. Mr. Zuo helped her ¡®conveniently¡¯ but Rongxue often appeared in front of him. At that time, Mr. Zuo was just starting out in the company. He was very busy and did not have the time or the leisure to care about the women around him. Rong Xue was a very positive person at that time. She would accompany Mr. Zuo when he stayed up late to work overtime. Her personality was simple and not as hypocritical as those vain women.¡± ¡°Of course, Rongxue is the young lady of the Rong family. She has never suffered since she was young, so the word ¡®vain¡¯ does not appear in her mind.¡± ¡± At that time, it was also a coincidence. Rong Xue used her relationship with Mr. Zuo as a ¡®friend¡¯ to get along better in the industry. At the same time, a few investors had a good relationship with Mr. Zuo. When they found out that Rong Xue often came to Shengling Group, they thought that Rong Xue and Mr. Zuo had a special relationship. Therefore, when they were casting for two popular movies, they included her in the list. Also, her acting skills during the audition were really good. Just like that, she suddenly went from a C-list actress to an A-list celebrity..¡± Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: Three Years, Transformation (5) Chapter 493: Three Years, Transformation (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Actually, in the entertainment industry, it really depends on luck. After meeting Mr. Zuo, Rong Xue¡¯s luck became better and better. She did not sleep with him, nor did she experience any storms that people could use against her. Therefore, a particularly positive female artist like her was valued by the bosses of other entertainment companies. They poached her with a lot of money and began to nurture her.¡± ¡± Later on, Rongxue became more and more popular with her identity as Alice Snow. She took on many good movies, but she was never recognized by Hollywood. In a place like the United States, no matter how good an A-list actress is, if she is not recognized by Hollywood, she is nothing.¡± ¡± At that time, Mr. Zuo was already so busy that he was about to be super busy. However, Grandpa Zuo seemed to have been possessed and asked him to go back and spend more time with the little descendant of the Cheng family. I think it was a granddaughter of Grandpa Zuo¡¯s family friend called Chengxin. He even wanted Mr. Zuo to get engaged to Chengxin before the end of the year. Mr. Zuo was annoyed by the coercion of his family. At the same time, Shengling Group was facing a huge challenge at that time, so he did not have the heart to care about the marriage. The old man came to look for him angrily, but he happened to bump on Rong Xue and her partner inviting Mr. Zuo to dinner. After that,..You should be able to guess.¡± Anhao looked at Wenner strangely.¡±¡±What can I guess? Life could not be so bloody. A person like Zuo Hancheng would not drag a random woman over and pretend to be his girlfriend to stall Old Master.¡± Wenner laughed.¡± Mr. Zuo is not that kind of person. He did not take the old man¡¯s words seriously at all. However, Rongxue was there at that time and coincidentally overheard the conversation between the old man and Mr. Zuo. She walked into the office and claimed to be Mr. Zuo¡¯s girlfriend in front of the old man.¡¯ ¡°Actually, it can¡¯t be considered a coincidence. After all, at that time, Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t really reject Rongxue. He probably didn¡¯t hate her. Besides, she was also the daughter of the Rong family. The Rong family had a high status among the Chinese Americans. Rong Xue did not need to cling to others. There was no difference in status between the two of them. Therefore, after Rong Xue said those words in front of the old man, the old man did not get angry immediately because of the Rong family. It was then that she and Mr. Zuo became friends.¡¯ ¡°And then?¡± Anhao raised her hand to support her chin. Rong Xue used to be a simple, generous, and proactive girl. She was still a pale, white moonlight that people liked. So, Zuo Hancheng fell in love with her over time and fell in love with her for many years?¡± Wenner snorted.¡± Don¡¯t forget that Rongxue is in the entertainment industry. In this industry, everything can be exaggerated.¡± Mr. Zuo did not have much time to spend with her, nor did he deliberately prove their relationship in front of the media. After all, he was so busy that he did not even have the time to enjoy himself. How could he have the time to be sweet with Rong Xue every ¡°But Rongxue is different. After she received Zuo Hanchengs temporary indulgence, she used her connections to enter Hollywood. However, Mr. Zuo has never helped her with this matter, so it¡¯s still a little difficult. She continued to act in a few good movies. Shengling Group had stabilized in Los Angeles, and Mr. Zuo finally had some time to relax. Rong Xue also tried to get in touch with him at that time. Although they had a few meals together and were photographed by the media a few times, Rong Xue still failed because Shengling Group was advancing too quickly in the industry and was regarded as a thorn in the side by some of their enemies. Other than continuing to deal with the problems, Mr. Zuo had many other unavoidable social events. She did not even have the time to spend a night with Mr. Zuo.¡± When he said this, Wenner gave Anhao a look that said,¡± You know what 1 mean.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°But Rongxue has been exaggerating her relationship with Mr. Zuo in front of the media. She has gradually confirmed the fact that they are in love, so that everyone has to pay attention to her and take her career to the next level. Of course, other than exaggerating the truth, she did not do anything that violated Mr. Zuo¡¯s principles, so Mr. Zuo did not restrict her.¡± ¡± During that time, Rong Xue often went to public places with Mr. Zuo. Now that I think about it, maybe it was intentional, but at that time, all of us who were close to Mr. Zuo felt that he was really patient with Rong Xue. Moreover, Mr. Zuo had never indulged any woman like this before. He didn¡¯t even care about her in front of the media. We all thought that he really liked Rong Xue.¡± One year later, one of Rongxue¡¯s movies received a good box office. At the same time, it was her birthday. At that time, Old Master Zuo had already talked to the Rong family and knew that Rongxue had severed ties with the Rong family. So, he continued to talk to Mr. Zuo about Chengxin. Rongxue used the matter of her birthday and box office to discuss with Mr. Zuo. Mr. Zuo handed the matter to a capable assistant. The assistant then hired a team to celebrate Rongxue¡¯s birthday. Mr. Zuo no longer cared about that matter. After all, no matter how the media wrote it, it would always go according to her wishes. Secondly, it would create a scene of love in front of the old man. At that time, the old man could not go against the flow and force Mr. Zuo and Chengxin to get married because of the media¡¯s argument.¡± ¡± I think you should know a little about what happened after that. Rong Xue used that luxurious birthday celebration to create an image of an inspirational goddess in front of the media. At that time, the media began to spread the rumor that the legendary President Zuo¡¯s favorite woman was actually in the entertainment industry. Everyone in the industry knew that Rong Xue was Zuo Hanchengs woman, and everyone knew that Rong Xue, the national goddess, was being supported by the mysterious CEO. Later, Mr. Zuo accidentally acknowledged this matter in front of the media. After all, he still had to deal with the old man at home, so this matter became more and more publicized. Behind it was the operation of Rongxue¡¯s company¡¯s media and public relations, so it went crazy. What a match made in heaven, what a loving couple, what the most enviable couple. In short, Rongxue really soared to the sky. She did not know if she was lucky or if she had been taking steps since then. On one hand, she got Mr. Zuo, On the one hand, she had also achieved the career she wanted the most.¡¯ Anhao clenched the coffee cup in her hand. Zuo Hancheng had once said that there was no need to tell her about his past with his ex. He had also said that he should summarize a central idea for her to hear. In fact, it was telling her that the so-called past was not important at all, and there was no need to mention it. He had reminded her more than once that the most important thing in marriage was trust.. Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Three Years, Transformation (6) Chapter 494: Three Years, Transformation (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng was not Wenner. He would not sit here and tell her about the past in such detail. Some things did not exist to him, so he did not need to say them. No wonder Zuo Hancheng looked at her with that kind of gaze. No wonder he suddenly agreed to let her go and agreed to the divorce. It was as if he had cut off an entire world from her at that time. Because he had only used Rong Xue once, Rong Xue¡¯s existence was like a sharp sword to her. Her trust in him was indeed on the verge of collapse. She was the one who did not understand. She had never understood Zuo Hanchengs gentleness, his deep affection, and his silence. Therefore, the current outcome was perhaps the fairest for Zuo Hancheng. She, who had never trusted him, finally let him go back to his original path. He came here but did not come to see her. They were like strangers. She finally understood what it felt like to hear those words. She had also come to a complete realization that a man like him was cold and warm. Zuo Hancheng could give her all the warmth and love he could, but he would also give her hopeless heartlessness and indifference. ¡°Rongxue¡¯s miscarriage and infertility back then had something to do with the old master?¡±Anhao was silent for a moment, then raised her head and finally took the initiative to ask about the matter. Wenner raised his eyebrows.¡± Old Master Zuo knows that she has cut ties with the Rong family and the elders of the Rong family have declared that they will never let Rongxue into the family again. That is to say, she is just an actress, an actress who is so suicidal that she doesn¡¯t even want to be the daughter of the Rong family and insists on staying in the entertainment industry. Old Master Zuo doesn¡¯t like her.¡¯ ¡°In order to make Rong Xue leave Zuo Hancheng, Old Master Zuo did use a lot of tricks, but the real reason for her separation from Nir. Zuo was that she started to use unscrupulous means to enter Hollywood. She had secretly sat on the men¡¯s lap while having a meal with an investor of a Hollywood movie. Mr. Zuo walked past and saw everything inside, but he did not go in to stop her.¡± ¡°Actually, whether it was me or Mobai, all of us who were by Mister Zuo¡¯s side, we all thought that Mister Zuo loved her. After all, Rong Xue was the only one who was special to him all these years.¡± ¡°But now that I think about it, if Mr. Zuo really loved Rongxue, why would he let Rongxue continue to degenerate like this?¡±Wenner rubbed his chin and smiled even wider.¡±¡±He must have known about Rongxue¡¯s motives and that she had been trying to get to the top by relying on his connections. However, Rongxue realized that he did not want to get involved in the entertainment industry, so she had to think of a way herself.¡± Because he didn¡¯t love her, he didn¡¯t care. Because he didn¡¯t care, he didn¡¯t interfere too much with her freedom. However, after that, Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t give Rongxue a chance to see him again. Even though Rongxue repeatedly asked to see him, Mr. Zuo never allowed her to do so. To outsiders, her relationship with Rong Xue seemed to be very loving and vigorous, but in fact, it started without any warning and ended quietly. It was destined that Rong Xue had miscalculated in this relationship.¡± ¡°The news of the breakup spread very quickly. After Old Master Zuo found out, he even forced him to start a family.¡± ¡°After that, Rongxue tried to salvage her relationship with Mr. Zuo again and again. She really loved Mr. Zuo, but she also loved her career. That circle was not clean, and if she wanted to rise to the top, she would definitely do something she had no choice but to do. She tried her best to protect herself. Although it was inevitable to put on an act, at least she did not completely fall back then. Old Master Zuo noticed that Rong Xue was standing on the side of the wall. In order to prevent her from appearing beside Mr. Zuo again, he used some extreme methods behind Mr. Zuo¡¯s back.¡± ¡°At that time, Mr. Zuo had already left the United States. He did not know that after he left the United States, Rongxue was persecuted by the old man because of him. She was forced to drink and sleep with investors, and then all kinds of disasters. Without Mr. Zuo, Rong Xue had no choice but to do things according to the rules of the industry. Later on, she was pregnant with the child of an unknown investor, but she had a miscarriage because of an accident. The accident was not ordinary, and I don¡¯t know what exactly happened. In short, Rong Xue was almost ruined by Mr. Zuo, and she couldn¡¯t get pregnant for the rest of her life.¡± ¡°But Rongxue is different. After she received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temporary she used some unknown method to successfully change companies and start anew. However, she had no choice but to completely integrate into the industry. She could not stop many of the rules of the game in the industry. Just like that, she finally relied on her own ability to reach the peak of her career in the past five years. When she could finally stop being bullied and relying on Mr. Zuo like before, when she could finally look for him with her head held high, she moved to China in order to return to Mr. Zuo¡¯s side. In the end¡­ You already know the result¡­¡± ¡± In this relationship, Rongxue loved him too deeply. She was too passive and hurt too deeply. After all, Mr. Zuo had never given her a true response. However, it was not that he did not indulge her. It was because of the indulgence he had given her in the past that she thought Mr. Zuo had loved her. We all thought that he had loved her, but who knows if he had loved her or not? Perhaps only Mr. Zuo himself knew.¡± ¡± Rongxue¡¯s final trump card was to use what happened in the past as a moral restraint. She knew that he would no longer condone her mischief in front of the media and frame you, but she used this method to make Mr. Zuo have no choice but to face her past. Because of the series of sequelae after the miscarriage and massive bleeding a few years ago, she sobered up in the bar, but she got someone to contact Mr. Zuo because she had a stomachache from drinking cold beer. After that, She had been using Old Master Zuo¡¯s oppression of her and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s guilt to interfere in your marriage several times. The misunderstandings that were caused during that period of time were all things that Mr. Zuo could not explain to you because of Old Master Zuo¡¯s interference. After all, Old Master Zuo is his grandfather. How can he explain this to you before he has thoroughly investigated and resolved this matter?¡± All the questions in the past finally became clear. Anhao suddenly smiled, but it didn¡¯t reach her eyes. ¡°Thank you.¡± She suddenly put down the coffee cup in her hand, got up, and left. Her footsteps were very fast, as if she was escaping. Wenner looked at her back and could not help but sigh. This girl, even if she regretted it, she should have a regretful expression on her face. How could she run away after saying thank you so stiffly? Was she worthy of his parched mouth after talking for so long? Anhao walked very quickly. She was rummaging through her bag for her phone, wanting to contact the professor to tell him about today¡¯s shoot so that she could divert her attention. However, while she was rummaging through her bag, the design she had made suddenly fell to the side of the road. A middle-aged man who passed by picked up her design and after seeing it clearly, his eyes lit up. Chapter 495 - Chapter 495: The Divorce Agreement Will Not Take Effect(1) Chapter 495: The Divorce Agreement Will Not Take Effect(1) Translator: 549690339 Two years later- Anhao had just gotten a new passport and walked down the stairs while looking at it. She was going to take a taxi back to the apartment to pack her luggage. After all, she would be returning to China in a few days. Suddenly, an extremely arrogant car horn sounded in front of her. She immediately raised her head because of the familiar car horn. Sure enough, she saw a flashy new silver Porsche parked by the roadside. The door had already been opened, and a young man in a black leather jacket and sunglasses gestured at her to get in the car. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She immediately put her passport into her bag and walked down step by step. However, she did not intend to get into the car. She just looked at him strangely.¡±Are you following me? How did you know I was here?¡± The young man smiled, flashing his bright white teeth. At the same time, he took off his sunglasses. ¡°Your roommate said that you¡¯re going back to China in a week. You¡¯ve just graduated and you¡¯re going back to China. Why did you suddenly change your mind?¡± ¡°Why do you care if I changed my mind? I can go wherever I want. Aren¡¯t you being too nosy?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him again. She had never given him a good look in the past three years. She really didn¡¯t expect that the brat who almost forced her into a dead end was still alive! Three years ago, she had just arrived in the United States. She had gone shopping with her roommate. On the way, her roommate had almost been hit by a car. The two of them were about to argue with someone, but the person who had gotten out of the car was actually Rong Qian, that annoying brat! Anyway, it was said that Rong Qian was involved in her car accident in China, so the Rong family forcefully brought him back to the United States and stopped him from causing trouble in China. At that time, Anhao laughed at him. As expected, people who always thought about how to harm others would get their retribution sooner or later. He had only been in China for a short time, and he was brought back to his father to teach him a lesson. He really deserved lt. However, Rong Qian had been lingering in front of her for the past three years. From time to time, he would come over to show off his presence. The Rong family¡¯s business had an important project in Boston in the past two years, and they sent him, the future heir of the Rong family, who was not mature enough, to be in charge of the project. Therefore, Rong Qian had been staying in Boston for the past few years and often bumped into her from time to time, To be honest, if he wasn¡¯t Rong Xue¡¯s brother and never had good intentions when he approached her, she would have thought that Rong Qian had fallen for her! Otherwise, he would come to her every now and then to bother her. Every time she mocked, scolded, and rolled her eyes at him, it did not reduce his presence. She really admired his shamelessness. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the talent that she had met at XX Square two years ago had taken a fancy to her design and given her an internship at a famous construction company in Boston before she graduated, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that the talent was Rong Qian!s distant uncle, and if it weren¡¯t for the fact that Rong Qian had helped her solve a problem in the company she had interned at, she really wanted to throw him to the other side of the world as far away from her as possible. Seeing Anhao¡¯s eagerness to return home, Rong Qian crossed his arms and leaned against the car casually. He glanced at her bag and said,¡±The passport was done quite quickly, but didn¡¯t you finish your internship at my uncle¡¯s company half a year ago? They saw your talent in design and made an exception to let you become a full-time employee before you graduated. Your salary and working environment are definitely first-class. Was he still not satisfied? Could it be that some company in China has taken a fancy to your design drawings and poached you back?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± There are indeed a few partners in the country who have taken a fancy to my design drawings and want me to jump ship. However, I have never planned to return to the country before, so I have never considered it.¡¯ ¡°Since you don¡¯t plan to return to the country, what are you doing now?¡±¡±Rong Qian¡¯s eyes were a little unhappy.¡± You just graduated. It¡¯s the time for you to develop my uncle¡¯s company. Now, you¡¯ve interrupted such a good career and inexplicably returned to China. If it¡¯s not job-hopping, what else can you do?¡± Could it be¡­ He paused for a moment and suddenly sneered,¡±¡±Do you want to be like my sister and go back to your ex-husband, Zuo Hancheng?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression did not change when she heard Zuo Hanchengs name. She merely glanced at the cars passing by the roadside. Seeing that there was no taxi she could hail, she frowned impatiently and glanced at him.¡±Of course, I have my reasons for returning to China. It seems that I don¡¯t have to explain to you that we¡¯re not even friends. Even if your uncle¡¯s company made an exception and brought me in for an internship, it was all because of my own strength! You only found me a few months after I entered your uncle¡¯s company. All you did was say a few good things about me. Other than that, you didn¡¯t do me much. Why are you standing here and asking me questions like an old mother? Besides, who are you? What is our relationship? You dare to control me like this?¡± Rong Qian had a smile on his face, but because of Anhao¡¯s words, his expression instantly turned cold. When Anhao turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly said,¡±Gu Anhao, your wings have hardened now. You know that any company, big or small, will give you face after you return to China with your internship and employment experience at Bode Company. Even if you return to China, you won¡¯t starve to death. Instead, all the construction companies that you used to work with will fight to hire you. So now you¡¯re going back to your motherland in one fell swoop.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. ¡°¡±How did you know how lost I was when I first came to America three years ago?¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t say anything, but he suddenly laughed out of anger. He put on his sunglasses again and sat in the car. The car suddenly let out a loud engine sound and instantly drove to her side. Even though the car was only a fist away from her, Anhao still stood where she was without a change in expression. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Rong Qian called her in the car. Anhao had no intention of getting into his car from the start. She turned around and left without saying a word. Rong Qian looked at her back and didn¡¯t say anything at first. After a few seconds of silence, he continued to drive patiently beside her. It was only when Anhao turned around impatiently and glared at him that he suddenly pressed the horn beside her. The sound was very ear-piercing and gave Anhao a fright.. She immediately took a step back and cursed with an ugly expression,¡±Rongqian, are you f * cking crazy?!¡¯ Chapter 496 - Chapter 496: Divorce Agreement Does Not Take Effect (2) Chapter 496: Divorce Agreement Does Not Take Effect (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Get in the car. I¡¯ll send you back to your apartment!¡± ¡°No! No need! This place is not far from my apartment. It¡¯s only half an hour¡¯s walk! ¡°Anhao looked down at the pair of sneakers on her feet. She didn¡¯t intend to give him any face at all. Rong Qianlin raised his eyebrows. You¡¯ve already saved up your meager salary to pay Zuo Hancheng back Where do you have the money to go back and find a place to live? If you don¡¯t suck up to me, you might go back and sleep on the streets! ¡± Anhao was instantly amused as she glanced back at him.¡±Anyway, I won¡¯t starve to death. I don¡¯t rely on anyone, so I don¡¯t need you to worry about me!¡± Rong Qian rolled his eyes again.¡± From the day you graduated, Zuo Hancheng cut off all financial support for you. You two even cut off the last contact between you. Are you sure you want to make a name for yourself in the architectural design industry without any support after you return to China?¡±¡± Anhao ignored him. She walked quickly and looked at the time without saying a word. Rong Qian was still driving beside her at a constant speed.¡±¡±You really don¡¯t need my help?¡± ¡°No need!¡± ¡°Why did you suddenly come back?¡±Rong Qian was still obsessed with this question.¡±¡±You clearly didn¡¯t plan to go back at all. Besides, haven¡¯t you divorced Zuo Hancheng for the past three years? Did they not contact each other for a long time? Zuo Hancheng has never looked for you in the past three years! There¡¯s nothing there that you can worry about. Why are you going back?¡± ¡°Who said that I have to see someone when I go back?¡±Anhao said expressionlessly as she walked,¡±¡®I¡¯m going back because of my mother. It¡¯s not impossible for me to tell you, but it¡¯s just some things about my mother¡¯s past and my background. I¡¯ve recently discovered something strange and want to go back to A City to investigate. After all, my mother had been in A City when she left America back then.¡¯ Rong Qian immediately looked at her. Gu Tianming is not you¡­¡± ¡°No, he¡¯s not my father.¡± Anhao suddenly interrupted him. Rong Qian paused again and said,¡±¡®It¡¯s good that it¡¯s not. Coincidentally, Gu Tianming had already dismounted three years ago, and the Gu family had also been raided. His family did not have a good ending. I only heard that his daughter was secretly sent to another place, but it seems that she¡¯s not doing very well now.¡± ¡°None of this has anything to do with me.¡± Anhao said calmly. After walking for a while, she was really tired and did not continue to argue with him. Suddenly, she turned around and got into the passenger seat of the taxi. As she fastened her seatbelt, she said,¡±I¡¯m going back to the apartment. Thank you.¡± Seeing that she was finally willing to get into the car, Rong Qian smiled and took off his sunglasses in a good mood to put them on her. Anhao¡¯s eyes were indeed hurting from the sunlight, but she frowned and took off her sunglasses and threw it back to him.¡±¡±I¡¯m not wearing it. I won¡¯t touch your things! Also, I¡¯m warning you. If you still have a conscience after I return to the country, don¡¯t leak the news about me. I¡¯m going back secretly, and I don¡¯t want to tell anyone.¡± ¡°l don¡¯t have many friends in China. Who else can I tell? My sister?¡± Rong Qian snorted.¡± 1 1 m too lazy to contact her even if you asked me to. But I heard that she has done a good job in Africa for the past two years. It seems that she was stimulated by your ex-husband and completely woke up.¡±¡® Anhao rolled her eyes indifferently and looked out of the window. ¡°Only people with money and capital can go to Africa to do charity for others to see. How can a poor person like me have the time to do charity? It¡¯s better to ask your sister to help me.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you accept my help?¡±Rong Qian suddenly glanced at her. Anhao snorted and didn¡¯t say anything else. She opened the car window and closed her eyes. She thought about what she had heard about the An family in New York a few days ago, and then thought about what had happened to Anping back then. A corner of her heart slowly rose, but she did not know where it should fall. Who was her mother, An Ping? Who was her biological father? If she had not suddenly decided to return to A City because of this matter, she would probably never have set foot in that place again in her life¡­ Hopefully, she could settle the problem she wanted to investigate after she returned to A City and leave quietly. However, she did not know how long it would take for her to find out. It might take a few months or even a few years. Or perhaps she was overthinking. She and that person were already strangers. In the past three years, other than receiving the divorce agreement signed by him, they had no contact at all. They had not even exchanged a phone call or a text message. Two years ago, after learning the truth from Wenner, Anhao¡¯s heart became even calmer. After that, she met a talent who took a fancy to her design drawings. In the past two years, she had been busy with her studies and internship. She was so busy that she almost did not think about too many things in the past. However, during one of the school¡¯s collective physical examinations, many girls of her age openly admitted how many boyfriends they had and how many children they had aborted. Those foreign girls did not hide anything at all, as if they were used to such things. When it came to Anhao, when the doctor asked her if she had any miscarriage records, she suddenly felt that it was not a good thing to be too open overseas. Even during the physical examination, her heart would be pulled and her entire heart would ache. However, she still kept her record of a miscarriage on her medical examination form. She did not pay much attention to the subsequent tests. It took her a few days to recover. Back at the apartment, Anhao started to pack her luggage. She had to go back as soon as possible. While there were still rumors about the An family in New York, she had to go back and investigate now. Her roommate saw that she was packing her things and came in to help her pack her luggage and things in the house. When he was helping Anhao to take out the things in the drawer, he found a key. At the same time, he used the key to open the bottom drawer and saw a divorce agreement for a ring inside. Anhao saw her roommate¡¯s actions and was about to walk over, but her roommate picked up the agreement and glanced at it before saying,¡±¡±Anhao, you were married before, right?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao stopped in her tracks and did not answer. However, his roommate looked at it again and said,¡±Three years ago, when 1 saw you receive this parcel, I felt that it was strange at first glance. However, I had only known you for a short time at that time, so I didn¡¯t say too much, lest you think that I was meddling in other people¡¯s business. But now that we¡¯re so familiar with each other, you know that 1 studied law with my parents in China. Actually, divorce isn¡¯t that simple. Your divorce papers are actually not legally valid¡­¡± Not effective? Anhao suddenly looked up in surprise.. Chapter 497 - Chapter 497: Divorce Agreement Does Not Take Effect (3) Chapter 497: Divorce Agreement Does Not Take Effect (3) Translator: 549690339 The international flight to A City landed at the airport of A City. A citys five moons, the sun was shining brightly, and Anhao walked out of the airport lobby, facing the rising sun and walking towards the direction of the high-speed rail station. Three years and two months had passed, but the air, smell, and everything in City A¡¯s airport had not changed. It was as if she had never left. After Anhao returned to China, she had to find a job immediately. Fortunately, a few good friends in the United States helped her with a very good resume before she returned to China. She immediately sent her resume out and received an interview notice from two companies before she boarded the plane. Therefore, she planned to take the high-speed rail to City A as soon as possible. After finding a place to stay, she would go for the interview as soon as possible. One of them was a proposal for a few key urban projects newly developed by a government department and the Construction Bureau. They were recruiting talents from major construction companies. Anhao was more interested in this job because the interview for this job was on this Thursday. It was Monday now, so she only had three days to prepare all the design plans and blueprints, including everything needed for the interview. An hour later. In front of an agency in the center of A City, Anhao looked at the rental prices of the nearby houses. In the end, she chose to turn around and walk to Huating Private Park, which was only one stop away. When she walked into the villa, the security guard at the door stopped her. After explaining her purpose, the security guard sent her to the management office. The property management staff looked at her ID and handed her a few spare cards, including the key card. Anhao walked into the spacious Duplexed apartment in Hua Ting Private Park. Although it was only a simple decoration, it was a scene where all kinds of facilities were abandoned. She looked at the comfortable sofa in the living room on the first floor. At that moment, she had the urge to pounce over and have a good sleep. Ever since she suddenly found out about her unusual background half a month ago, she had not had a good rest in the past half a month. She had been studying all kinds of things about her mother and preparing to return to China. Now that she had finally returned to A City and found a place to stay, she suppressed her impulse for the time being. She only placed her suitcase by the door and walked over to the sofa to look around. She had never been to Luxury Court Private Apartments before. She had already submitted the transfer procedures in her own name before she left the country. However, she did not know if the transfer was successful or if the other party had accepted the transfer procedures. She left the country directly and did not care about this matter anymore. When she saw the terrible rental prices in A City, she felt that she couldn¡¯t bear to part with that sum of money for the time being. In fact, she also wanted to give it a try. Although she had never been here before, she knew the location of the private villa. It was an apartment building built in the center of A City a few years ago with a particularly good view of the river. It was as high as 66 floors, but in fact, it was 33 floors. Each unit was a single double-story apartment, and each unit had two floors of space. It was just a two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two-story, two- If she had known that Zuo Hancheng had not taken back the houses, she would have hired an agent to help her rent out the houses in the past three years. She would have earned a lot of money in the past three years, and she would not have been deterred by the rent when she came back. Anyway, he was only going back to A City to investigate some matters. He did not know how long he could stay. He might be able to leave in two to three months, or even longer. As long as the people who knew her did not know that she was back, she should be able to live here quietly for a while. Anhao walked up and down the two-story space of the split-level apartment in Hua Ting Private Garden. She was sure that no one had lived in this apartment after the renovation, and no one had ever been here. Because it had been so many years, even if the house was cleaned up after the renovation, it was inevitable that there would be some dust in every corner of the house. Fortunately, the dust-proof plastic film on the sofa, bed, and other things was still there, and they were all very clean. So, after Anhao called the property management to turn on the water and electricity, she rolled up her sleeves and started cleaning. It wasn¡¯t until 11 0¡¯clock in the evening that Anhao finally sat down on the sofa after taking a shower. Fortunately, this was the city center, so everything was convenient. Whether it was daily necessities or some essential little things, she could search for the number of a delivery supermarket on the Internet and it would be delivered within an hour. Even though she hadn¡¯t eaten anything for the whole day, she wasn¡¯t hungry at all. Just as she was about to fall asleep on the sofa, she suddenly remembered that she hadn¡¯t packed her suitcase. She quickly jumped up and ran to the door to get her suitcase. She took out the computer, books, clothes, and supplies that she had brought back. After everything was piled up on the bed, Anhao no longer had the strength to put it back into the cabinet. She just lay on the bed, hugging her laptop and looking at the design drawings she had recently made. She was physically and mentally exhausted, but she had no choice but to think about the design drawings and plans she would use for the interview in a few days. Two days later. The curtains were suddenly pulled open. Anhao stood in front of the French window with a toothbrush in her mouth and looked out. It was so early and she couldn¡¯t fall asleep. Yesterday, she received a call from the Construction Bureau and the construction department of the Sacred City. They asked her to submit the design drawings today and bring the design proposal along. Tomorrow, the most authoritative panel of judges in the city would come for an official interview. She worked overtime to finish the design in two days. Today, she woke up early to re-examine it. She was so immersed in the design that she almost forgot where she was.updat? by §á?w§áo?el .?rg It was not until now that she pulled open the curtains and looked at the river view outside and the towering buildings in the city center on the other side that she clearly realized that she had really returned to A City. Moreover, because this was the downtown area, it had long formed a stable business circle. The buildings here had almost not changed in the past three years. Even the bus stop was still in its original position. Anhao rushed the bus to the designated location and walked into the venue arranged by the Construction Bureau. As soon as she walked in, she saw a few signboards in front of the door that showed the host of this large-scale architectural design talent recruitment fair. From City A¡¯s East X Planning Bureau to the provincial Construction Bureau, then to a few construction companies. Finally, when she saw the name of the company that the investor belonged to, Anhao¡¯s footsteps instantly froze. Shengling Group¡­ Chapter 498 - Chapter 498: Divorce Agreement Does Not Take Effect (4) Chapter 498: Divorce Agreement Does Not Take Effect (4) Translator: 549690339 Wasn¡¯t this a job fair organized by the government and the Construction Bureau to recruit architectural design talents? Why was it related to Shengling Group? Even if Shengling Group was the investor and seemed to have participated in the construction and renovation team, it should only be the heads of the construction and design departments under the company. There should not be any other changes. Anhao stayed at the door for a long time. She walked in and took out her ID card and a copy of her resume. After she was put in, she found the person in charge of the interview and handed over the folder she brought. After registering, she left directly. When she walked out, she passed by the sign she had just seen. She only paused for a moment and continued walking out without turning back. On the way back, she suddenly received a call from Rong Qian. At that time, Anhao was sitting on the bus. Coincidentally, the road was being repaired due to roadblocks on the original route, so the route was slightly changed. She drove from the other side of the road and changed to the widest road in front of the square of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters. The bus had just stopped at the bus stop opposite Shengling Group and had made some last-minute adjustments. Anhao sat quietly in the bus and did not move. She glanced at Rong Qian¡¯s call and ignored it. She also did not deliberately look in the direction of Shengling Group¡¯s plaza. After hanging up the phone, she opened her contact list. She was considering whether she should contact Chunchun and Huang Amao. Chunchun and Huang Amao were both in A University and were already in their third year, so they had officially started their internship. She wondered if she could ask them out for a meal. However, many things had not been finalized after he returned. If he contacted them like this, he would definitely be questioned. Hence, Anhao¡¯s fingers lingered on the phone screen for a moment before moving away. She did not call them. Suddenly, a conversation sounded beside him¡­ ¡°It¡¯s your annual leave in a few days. Where are you going? Are you going to the Maldives or Paris Island with your boyfriend? I saw you searching for tourist routes a few days ago. Your heart must have flown out long ago ¡°l don¡¯t know if we can really take our annual leave this time. Our company seems to have recently invested in a few new projects related to the government on both sides of the province and city. After all, we¡¯re the provincial capital. It seems that we¡¯re going to renovate a large stadium and cultural center. The people in our design department don¡¯t even have time to come out for lunch recently. They¡¯ve been working overtime every day¡­¡± Two female employees from Shengling Group sat behind Anhao. When they heard their conversation, Anhao did not move. She only noticed that it was already lunch break when she looked at the time. In order to avoid bumping into familiar faces, she deliberately put on a sun hat before going out. For a moment, no one noticed her. Moreover, the female employees who walked into the car obviously did not know her. ¡°Speaking of which, our company has invested a lot in the construction industry in the past two years. Didn¡¯t Boss Zuo always focus on the electronic technology field? Would the vice president be in charge of everything else? Why did he want to share a piece of the pie with the big shots in the construction industry these past few years?¡± ¡°How can you know what Big Boss is thinking? However, I heard that the new person in charge of the Construction Bureau in the past two years is the daughter of the president of Beijing XX. She¡¯s only 29 years old this year, but she was assigned to our City A and even sat in the position of the person in charge of the Construction Bureau. I heard that she¡¯s young and beautiful, and she¡¯s been in close contact with our Boss Zuo in the past two years¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, could it be that Boss Zuo invested so much just to make the beauty smile? I¡¯ve seen the person in charge of the Construction Bureau. Is she called Bai Weiwei? I heard them call her Deputy Chief Bai. Could it be that she¡¯s already the Deputy Chief of the Construction Bureau at the age of 29?¡± ¡°He was already a deputy chief last year. I think he can become a full-time chief in two years. It was said that her father was the president of XX in Beijing. He had an extraordinary status in Beijing and often interacted with many leaders. He must be a super powerful family. For a young lady like Bai Weiwei who was directly called to work in the political department after returning from studying abroad, let alone becoming a deputy director at the age of 29, even if she just graduated and became a director, who would dare to say?¡± ¡± That¡¯s true. But I heard that people often bump into her having dinner with our Boss Zuo. She¡¯s so beautiful, and her family background is so good. She¡¯s also from a prestigious family that¡¯s related to all walks of life in Beijing. Could it be that President Zuo and Deputy Director Bai have already¡­¡± ¡°Shh, keep your voice down. Don¡¯t talk nonsense. President Zuo was married a few years ago. Do you remember Rongxue who went to Africa to do charity? We can just make wild guesses about these things in private. Don¡¯t bring it up to the public. Otherwise, we won¡¯t even know how we died!¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t President Zuo divorced?¡± ¡°Who told you that President Zuo is divorced?¡± ¡± That¡¯s what everyone is saying. Something happened to Mrs. Zuo three years ago. No one knows the details, but it seems like she has never appeared since then. President Zuo is so close to Bai Weiwei now, and he has a good relationship with the Bai family. I guess he has already divorced. I heard that President Zuo went to Beijing a few months ago during the Chinese New Year. Maybe he went to visit his future father-in-law¡­¡± ¡± If that¡¯s the case, then last night, I saw Bai Weiwei get into President Zuo¡¯s car. Could it be that they have already¡­¡± At this moment, the bus stopped at a certain stop. Two female employees were gossiping excitedly in low voices when suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them. The two of them looked up and saw a slender woman wearing a hat standing by the back door, ready to get off. For some reason, they felt that the person in front of them had a strong sense of existence, and for some reason, they felt that their conversation had been heard by him. Therefore, the two of them did not dare to say anything more and only patted each other carefully, indicating that they would talk after getting out of the car. Because the bus had changed its route, Anhao got off midway and walked back to Hua Ting Private Park. As she was preparing for the interview these two days, she wore high heels. When she got home, her feet were almost not hers anymore. After rearranging the plan at home, she sat by the French window with a plate of fruit in her hand. The next day, when it was time for the official interview, Anhao¡¯s feet were still hurting. However, she had no choice but to wear the high heels that she was not used to. When she was waiting in line to call her name, she stared at her feet outside. She did not know if there were blisters on her feet, but why did it hurt so much? ¡°Next, Gu Anhao.¡¯ After waiting outside for an hour and a half, her name was finally called. Anhao quickly picked up the spare folder in her hand, stood up, and tried to ignore the pain in her feet. She quickly walked into the interview room. The interview room was spacious and bright, and it was very stylish. When she walked into the middle, she smiled and nodded at the judges and the people in the special judges ¡®seats. Just as she was about to start describing her design plan, a few people in front of the door whispered to each other and temporarily interrupted her interview. When she looked back, she suddenly heard someone say,¡±ln two minutes, President Zuo will be here.. Chapter 499 - Chapter 499: President Zuo Has Arrived (1) Chapter 499: President Zuo Has Arrived (1) Translator: 549690339 When she looked back, she suddenly heard someone two minutes, President Zuo will be here.¡¯ Anhao immediately looked at the two people in front of the door and saw that they seemed to be preparing to go out and entertain someone. At the same time, the judges in front of them began to whisper. ¡°President Zuo rarely comes to the interview site in person. It seems that he really values the reconstruction of the gymnasium and cultural center this time. He actually came to be a judge in person.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not easy to invite President Zuo to be a judge. This batch of young people who came for the interview are really lucky. If any of them is luckier, they might be put in an important position.¡± Anhao stood rooted to the ground. She didn¡¯t know whether she should continue to wait or leave the interview immediately. President zuo? Zuo Hancheng? Why was he here? Although she hadn¡¯t paid attention to any news about him in the past few years, he was a public figure after all. He was also a role model that business schools often used as an example, so she often heard about him. It was said that he had been keeping a low profile in recent years and rarely appeared in public. She knew that this architectural design recruitment was very important, but it did not seem to be so important that Zuo Hancheng had to come personally to observe and judge. ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± At this moment, someone said from outside the door. At the same time, she turned her head abruptly. Zuo Hancheng was led by a few men in suits and entered the crowd through the side door. He was not dressed formally. It was obvious that he had left his suit jacket in the car because of the hot weather. He was only wearing a black shirt, trousers, and a dark tie. Even though he did not have any eye-catching colors, he was still the center of attention the moment he entered the door. Anhao stood where she was, her expression unchanged, but she tried her best to shift her gaze away, not paying attention to the man who was destined to be an extraordinary existence no matter where he was. It had been three years and two months, and she did not expect to see him here again. It seemed that the reconstruction of the gymnasium this time was a major notice from the province. Otherwise, why would Zuo Hancheng place so much importance on it? ¡°President Zuo! ¡± The elders of the business and political circles on the judging panel stood up to welcome them. There were also a few more senior people sitting in their original seats, but they smiled politely and nodded in Zuo Hanchengs direction. Needless to say, the surrounding security guards and those who were not that old were respectful and fawning over him. For so many years, no matter where Zuo Hancheng appeared, he would inevitably show such a scene. Now that he had been established in the country for eight years, no one dared to offend him. Even the former mayor of A City, Gu Tianming, had been forced to step down because he had offended Zuo Hancheng. Even the old General Qi from the military district had committed a crime. Even if the news had not spread completely, everyone knew in private that Zuo Hancheng was not to be underestimated. Therefore, no one dared to underestimate him, and no one dared to offend the head of Shengling Group. ¡°President Zuo, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you. It¡¯s rare to meet you at XX venue a few times, but I didn¡¯t have the chance to talk to you. I didn¡¯t expect President Zuo to come here today to personally interview these young people.¡± The greetings and currying favor continued, but Anhao, who had been waiting for the interview for nearly ten minutes, seemed to have been forgotten by everyone. However, it was too late for her to leave now. She had no reason to do so. She could only stand still and not look in that direction. She only held the design proposal in her hand and waited quietly. Since she was already here, she should take things as they came. The pain in her feet also reminded her to calm down when she encountered things. She could not be as rash as she was a few years ago. Although Zuo Hancheng was greeted and fawned on by the crowd, he only smiled faintly. His smile did not reach his eyes. His cold attitude made those people not dare to waste any more time. It was not until he was invited to sit on the judges ¡®seat that the interview process was finally ready to continue. Zuo Hancheng sat down at another judge¡¯s table. Gu Anhao¡¯s resume was on the table, and the small screen in front of him was displaying Gu Anhao¡¯s design drawings and design options. When she noticed that Zuo Hancheng was not looking at anyone here at all, it was as if he was only here to be a judge and had no intention of doing anything else. When his gaze fell on her design drawing on the screen, Anhao felt that everything she had learned in the past three years of studying in America was like handing in her homework at this moment¡­ It was supposed to be an interview, but now it seemed like he was handing in his homework. It had been three years, but she still couldn¡¯t shake off the shadow he had left on her back then? Even now, she had already graduated and returned, but she still felt that that person was like her parent or guardian. ¡°Mister Zuo.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was looking at the design on the screen and seemed to be interested, the judges nodded at each other and one of them said politely,¡±¡± Since Shengling Corporation is going to invest in the renovation of the gymnasium and cultural center, Mr. Zuo will be the one to decide on the design plan. Why don¡¯t we leave the rest of the interview to you, Mr. Zuo, and we will vote on it.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng did not respond to the judges ¡®words. He continued to look at the design on the small screen on the judges¡¯ table. After about ten seconds, he looked up at Anhao.¡±¡±Gu Anhao.¡± Suddenly, she felt her back tighten. She had just calmed down and was ready to respond to the situation. She turned around and met Zuo Hanchengs gaze. She saw the faint coldness in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at a stranger, as if he was looking at an unfamiliar interviewee. He was looking at her with a scrutinizing and cold gaze. ¡°From Miss Gu t s resume, I can see that you graduated from XX University in the United States and worked as an intern in a good architectural design company for two years. You have very good design and work experience.¡± Anhao heard his words and immediately turned around to face him. She no longer let her emotions affect her mood. ¡°As far as 1 know, the company you¡¯re working for in the United States is a benchmark in the American construction industry. Whether it¡¯s the design concept or the working environment, it¡¯s first-class, and the salary is excellent. I¡¯m very curious. Why did you choose to give up this job and come back to China, back to A City, to apply for the job of a renovation designer for our gymnasium and cultural center?¡± Anhao looked up at Zuo Hanchengs cold gaze, which was as cold as a stranger¡¯s. The words that she had prepared were stuck in her throat for a few seconds. The reason why she wanted this job was that she did not need to sign a long-term contract. She only needed to complete the reconstruction of the stadium and cultural center before she could leave. This was suitable for her short-term plan to return to China, and she could also earn a lot of money. However, it was impossible for her to answer in such a manner.. Furthermore, when she was faced with Zuo Hanchengs slightly cold gaze, it was even more impossible for her to answer in such a manner¡­ Chapter 500 - Chapter 500: President Zuo Has Arrived (2) Chapter 500: President Zuo Has Arrived (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked around at the judges and hesitated for a moment before answering,¡±¡± Because I grew up in City A, I naturally have a different feeling for the hometown where I was born and raised. Even if there are thousands of good things in America, since I have the dream of rebuilding my hometown with the blueprint in my heart, I will definitely come back.¡± Her answer was actually meant for the other members of the judging panel to hear. After all, no matter how she answered, it was basically nonsense to Zuo Hancheng. A few of the judges nodded after hearing this. They felt that she was not bragging about her so-called dream. Instead, she had actually mentioned her nostalgia for her hometown. She had put in a lot of effort. Therefore, the judges ¡®first impression of her suddenly improved a lot. However, when Anhao¡¯s gaze fell in Zuo Hanchengs direction again, she saw that there was no extra expression on his face. There was only a hint of mockery in his eyes. Anhao knew how ridiculous her words sounded to him, but since the old man was already sitting here and pretending to be strangers, there was no need to show such a look to attack him. Anhao quietly shifted her gaze away from him, but the judges kept giving her looks, signaling her not to stand there in a daze and continue to face President Zuo. She could only reluctantly turn around and face Zuo Hanchengs direction, waiting for the big BOSS, who was so high and mighty that everyone was sucking up to, to speak. However, although Zuo Hancheng had just shot her a mocking glance, he did not say anything more. He only looked at her carefully prepared resume and said calmly,¡±¡±Recently, Stars Corporation is also holding a job fair for the architectural design department. Moreover, all your academic qualifications and qualifications are in line with the recruitment requirements of Stars Corporation. Why didn¡¯t you go to Stars Corporation and choose the two buildings that were jointly renovated by the business and government?¡± Didn¡¯t Zuo Hancheng never participate in interviews? Was it because he asked so many questions during the interview and made things difficult for others? So he felt that he was annoying if he didn¡¯t choose to come out? Anhao secretly rolled her eyes. A few seconds after he finished speaking, she put on a stiff smile and said,¡±¡±President Zuo, I¡¯ve already answered your question just now because I want to bring back what I¡¯ve learned and participate in the construction of my hometown. City A is the provincial capital. The reconstruction of the gymnasium and cultural center is to renew the facade of our entire province. If I were to participate in such a proud and proud thing, I would definitely feel a sense of accomplishment. I also feel that it is more challenging than climbing the ladder in those so-called companies.¡± The judges in front of her continued to nod because of her answer. They were obviously very satisfied. Furthermore, they had already seen her design drafts and had a deep impression of her. Furthermore, Gu Anhao was indeed one of the young people who had sent her design drafts yesterday. Her design concept was top-notch. Anhao was still looking in the direction of Zuohan City, looking at him indifferently looking down at her resume and design proposal. The distance and seriousness between her brows made her feel like she was in a trance. Three years and two months ago, she was just dreaming. How could such a man who was admired by thousands of people have such a past with her? While waiting for Zuo Hancheng to continue asking questions, Anhao could not help but glance at him. In these three years, she had lost a lot of weight, but he did not look fat or thin at all. His expression did not seem to have changed much either. It was as if the years had left only a deeper and calmer look on his face. The conversation she heard on the bus yesterday suddenly echoed in her ears. Bai Weiwei, Deputy Director Bai of the Construction Bureau¡­ Anhao subconsciously searched the judging panel with the raindrops in the corner of her eyes, but she did not see any woman. Most of them were successful people from all walks of life, so other than Zuo Hancheng, most of them were senior leaders. However, there were a few people from the Construction Bureau, but Deputy Director Bai was not there. He did not know why Rong Xue suddenly thought it through. She had gone to Africa to do charity work for more than two years, but Zuo Hancheng had never had a woman who could be brought out. Now, this Deputy Director Bai with a strong background was really worthy of his socialite, Suddenly, Anhao paused. Gu Anhao, what are you thinking? After you found out the truth two years ago, shouldn¡¯t you have known that you and Zuo Hancheng belong to two different worlds because of the guilt and sobriety? Didn¡¯t you give up on the plan to redeem everything two years ago and choose to wander outside? Haven¡¯t you decided not to come back to the Ruis for the past few years? Besides, they had not contacted each other for three years. Regardless of whether they were in two different worlds, a person like Zuo Hancheng would never give her a second chance to get close to him. He had already given her the money to study in the United States for the past few years as the last thing he had done for her. What was she thinking now? All of a sudden, the sound of Zuo Hancheng putting down a document came from his side. She came back to her senses at the same time and looked in his direction with a calm expression. Her eyes were clearer and clearer than before. The moment their eyes met, Zuo Hanchengs gaze was still cold as if he did not know her at all. His voice was also faint.¡±The design drawings are of a high standard. I have seen the written proposal. Please describe your design concept in detail and impress all the judges present with your own abilities.¡± He could finally control the situation himself! Everything that she had prepared earlier was disrupted by Zuo Hanchengs sudden appearance. Fortunately, she was still able to maintain her composure. Anhao turned around and looked at the judging panel. She picked up the proposal and blueprints that she had prepared in her hands. At the same time, she looked at the design drawings that were already shown on the big screen and said,¡±Building function, gymnasium. ¡°Blueprint depth, preliminary design, modern style, design time, 201x year, land area, 50600 square meters, building density, 32.9%¡­¡± ¡® 566 parking spaces for motor vehicles¡­¡± ¡± A reinforced concrete structure as the frame¡­ ¡± The design concept, one, reflects the people-oriented guiding ideology, starting from the physiological and psychological activities of people, emphasizing the ¡®standard view¡¯ of sports architecture, creating a unified and harmonious environment space and landscape space. Second, from the perspective of the city, focus on the scope of the region, integrate this group of buildings into the existing building complex, and as a continuation, eventually form a unique node of the city. Third, treat sports as an emerging industry and fully consider its multi-functionality and multi-purpose in the design to create a brand new urban style¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s attitude was calm and her tone was serious. She faced all the judges in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. Her voice was even more pleasant than three years ago. Mobai, who had been standing silently behind Zuo Hancheng, looked in Anhao¡¯s direction and stole a glance at Zuo Hancheng, who had remained calm the entire time.. Chapter 501 - Chapter 501: President Zuo Has Arrived (3) Chapter 501: President Zuo Has Arrived (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡± The following is an analysis of the location of the project base. The project base is located between the historical memorial hall and the cultural center that was newly rebuilt in City A a year ago. The gymnasium and the cultural center were rebuilt at the same time, and the cultural center¡­ Anhao¡¯s voice continued to ring out. Her voice was very stable. Although she still had the youthful air of youth, she had long lost her rebellious and unreasonable arrogance. He was only twenty-three years old, so how could he not be inexperienced? If a woman really wanted to get rid of all her inexperience, it would take at least five or six years. Seeing how well Anhao¡¯s design was done, how the proposal was perfect, and how she was still able to perform normally after meeting Zuo Hancheng during the interview, Mobai was about to applaud her. However, when he occasionally looked at Zuo Hancheng in front of him, he gave up on this idea, afraid that he would offend his boss. After Anhao finished preparing the content that needed to be narrated, she politely nodded at the judges. Finally, she turned around and looked in Zuo Hanchengs direction indifferently. She nodded at him as well.¡± CEO Zuo, seniors of the panel, although I¡¯m a graduate who just returned from America, please give me this opportunity to contribute to the reconstruction of A City¡­¡± What an official way to end the game, but An Hao made it sound so natural and beautiful. The members of the judging panel all looked satisfied. This Gu Anhao was indeed much more capable than the people who came in an hour ago. The design was to everyone¡¯s liking. Moreover, President Zuo seemed to be interested in this young lady¡¯s design. Otherwise, why would Zuo Hancheng, who had always been careful with his words and actions, ask her so many questions today? However, seeing that this young lady was able to face Zuo Hancheng, who was such a rare big shot, with such an indifferent and neither servile nor overbearing attitude, it could be considered as the finishing touch of this internship. She was quite likable. After Anhao finished her internship, she waited for the response from the judging panel. However, although those people looked satisfied, they did not dare to say anything because Zuo Hancheng had not expressed his opinion. After a while, they were all whispering to each other to discuss whether she could be retained. Zuo Hancheng remained silent for a long time and continued to look at her design drawings. From his expression, it was impossible to tell whether he was satisfied or if he felt that there was a flaw. This cold and silent way of doing things made the judges lose their attention for a moment. Two minutes later, the judge said,¡±Miss Gu, your interview for today is over. You should go back and wait. We¡¯ll inform you in time if there¡¯s any news.¡± Anhao was stunned. Didn¡¯t they say that todays job fair was very urgent? If there were talents that could be used, they would be directly awarded qualifications on the same day? Why did he ask her to go back and wait? They were obviously very satisfied, but they asked her to go back and wait just because Zuo Hancheng did not say anything? Anhao¡¯s expression only paused for a moment, but at the same time, she smiled slightly. She did not vent the unwillingness and dissatisfaction in her heart. She only smiled and nodded before turning around and walking out. Until Anhao walked out of the door, Hanchengs eyes never landed on her again. Similarly, she didn¡¯t turn back. Walking out of the venue for her internship, Anhao quickly walked to the roadside with a displeased expression. She rolled up the proposal in her hand and put it in her bag. She had originally planned to call Chunchun and Huang Amao after being hired. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for three years, so she wanted to see if they could find time to get together. Forget it now. She had nowhere to vent her anger. She just wanted to go home and take a shower to calm herself down. However, when she walked out, she forgot that her feet were already in pain. She stood by the roadside for a while and finally saw an empty car passing by. She hurriedly went forward to stop it, but a woman in her forties suddenly walked over quickly. She looked like she was in a hurry and rushed over to get into the car first. ¡°Hey, hey!¡± Anhao hurriedly took a step forward. In the end, she did not notice that the pain in her foot was getting more and more intense. Suddenly, her feet trembled, and at the same time, one of her legs crashed into the stone steps by the roadside because she did not stand properly. The moment she fell onto the stone steps, a piercing pain hit her. She quickly held back the cry of pain that was about to reach her mouth. She lowered her head and saw the blood oozing out of her knee. It was so painful that she almost burst into tears. She had not cried much in all these years. She had never cried in front of Zuo Hancheng when she was with him. In the past three years in America, she had almost lost the ability to cry. Damn it, he almost cried just because he hurt his knee! Gu Anhao, there¡¯s no need for you to be coy just because you saw Zuo Hancheng! Moreover, she is now a stranger to you. Do you think you are still the spoiled little flower who used to stay by her side and be pampered? Who¡¯s spoiling She endured the excruciating pain. Since she was wearing a small suit and a knee-length wrap dress for the interview, she did not dare to squat down to avoid revealing herself. However, it was so painful that she could not stand up for a moment. She could only stagger to a flower bed at the side and sit down. She lowered her head to look at her knee. It was only grazed and hurt from the edge of the stone steps. There was not much blood, but a large bruise on her knee. When she felt that there was no problem with the bone, she heaved a sigh of relief. She took out a bottle of mineral water from her bag and washed her knees casually. She planned to sit there for a while and leave after the pain passed. However, as soon as she calmed down, even though her knees were hurting, she felt empty as she sat there and watched the cars on the road and the people who came for the interview leaving one after another in the square in front of her. In order to prevent herself from overthinking things, Anhao took off one of her high heels and looked at the blisters on her ankle. She hated herself for suddenly getting off the bus and walking home early yesterday. After massaging her legs for a while, the pain in her legs gradually disappeared, and the soreness in her feet also eased a lot. Anhao put on her shoes and tidied her dress. She picked up her bag and was about to stand up, but when she stood up, she suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in her knees and the pain in her feet. She staggered a few steps forward before she could barely stand up. However, the moment she steadied herself, she seemed to have heard something. She looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out of the main entrance of the interview venue. Behind him were a few people with smiles on their faces, talking about something. Anhao didn¡¯t want him to see her in such a sorry state. She quickly turned around and walked towards the flower bed, ignoring the pain in her feet and She managed to dodge the attack with much difficulty. When she looked over, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was not looking in her direction at all. He was not walking over either. He was already walking towards the parking lot on the other side.. Chapter 502 - Chapter 502: President Zuo Has Arrived (4) Chapter 502: President Zuo Has Arrived (4) Translator: 549690339 The group of people did not seem to notice the direction they were heading in. They just followed behind Zuo Hancheng, smiling so hard that their faces looked like they were about to break a bun. Anhao lowered her head and looked at her ankle. She had been too anxious to avoid the blisters on the back of her ankle, so she didn¡¯t pay attention to them. The pain made her tense up, but she didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. When Zuo Hanchengs figure finally disappeared from her sight, he seemed to have already gotten into the car and did not turn around. Anhao turned around and avoided the parking lot. She ran to the lawn behind the flower bed and sat down on the stone steps. She looked down at her feet. She couldn¡¯t walk anymore. She didn¡¯t recognize anyone on the road. She took out her phone and searched for Huang Amao¡¯s number. Twenty minutes later. ¡°Gu Anhao, are you crazy? Your feet are already like this, yet you¡¯re still wearing high heels! ¡°Huang Amao looked at the red, swollen, and bruised areas on her feet as he handed her the medicine and band-aid he had bought from the pharmacy.¡±¡±Then, I saw that you were in a hurry over the phone just now. When I bought it, I didn¡¯t know what to buy either. Do you want to apply some medicine first or use the band-aid first?¡± Anhao smiled and took the bag from her. She took out the medicine and disinfectant from it, and then saw that there was something like gauze inside. ¡® Do you think that I¡¯m going to be so bad or what? After buying so many things, he could just use the band-aid to deal with it.¡±Although Anhao said that, it was a sunny day and there was nothing to do at home anyway. She sat there and disinfected the swollen and broken skin on her feet while she turned to look at Huang Amao. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for three years. Although he had video called her and Chunchun many times in the past few years, it wasn¡¯t difficult to send a short video call since WeChat was so popular now. However, when he saw Huang Amao in person, he realized that Huang Amao had also lost the look of a tomboy with short blonde hair. His hair had turned back to black and had grown a little longer. He still looked more feminine than three years ago. However, the clothes she wore were still gender-neutral, neither male nor female, and did not look proper. ¡°Should I stop calling you Huang Amao?¡±Anhao looked at her for a while before she smiled and continued to apply the medicine on her foot. She endured the excruciating pain and gritted her teeth as she continued to apply the medicine. Huang Amao rolled his eyes.¡± Anhao was instantly overjoyed. She stretched out her feet that had been treated with medicine and let the sun shine on them to promote the absorption of the medicine on her feet. Then, she turned to look at her.¡±Fortunately, you¡¯re in A City. Otherwise, 1 don¡¯t know who to look for to help me.¡± Huang Amao looked back at the venue.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you tell Chunchun and me in advance that you were returning to the country? Chunchun is still interning at the devil¡¯s company and couldn¡¯t make it back in time. She probably won¡¯t be able to come back until the weekend to see you. I¡¯m fine. My family arranged for me to be an operator in the police station. They said that they hoped that I could develop in the public security department in the future. Damn, I have to answer 110 calls all day. It¡¯s so boring!¡¯ ¡°Is this boring? When he picked up the phone, it was either a robbery or a murder. How could such an exciting thing be boring?¡± Huang Amao snorted and was too lazy to talk about his work. ¡°¡±It¡¯s just an internship anyway. We don¡¯t know what we want to do in the future. Unlike you, who suddenly went abroad for no reason three years ago. Chunchun and I were so scared that we thought you had disappeared from the face of the earth and looked for you everywhere. If it wasn¡¯t for your conscience that finally found you and was willing to contact us, we would definitely have called the police. ¡± ¡°Why call the police?¡± ¡°He reported Zuo Hancheng for murdering his wife and then buried the body in some grove. Otherwise, why couldn¡¯t we find him no matter how hard we tried? We couldn¡¯t get through to him either. Zuo Hancheng even refused to let us see you and him.¡± Anhao felt a chill down her spine. She immediately raised her hand and knocked on her shoulder.¡±Get lost, stop cursing me!¡± Huang Amao sat down beside her with an annoyed expression and said,¡±¡±Do you think that after you went abroad, Chunchun and I cursed you a few times? ¡°l was wondering why my ears were always hot and I kept sneezing when I first went abroad. So it was the two of you behind my back.¡± ¡°You ran too far away. Our families are too strict and we can¡¯t fly over to strangle you. If you were closer to us, we would definitely arrive the next day. If we didn¡¯t strangle you, our names would be written upside down.¡± Anhao continued to smile. At the same time, she saw that the medicine on her feet was gone. She stuck the bandages on the few places where the skin had been torn and put on the high heels again. Although it didn¡¯t hurt as much as before when she put them on, it still hurt when she wanted to stand up. Her legs trembled and she sat back down again. Huang Amao smiled sarcastically when he saw how she looked like she was about to be crippled.¡±¡±You deserve it. I told you to wear high heels. Didn¡¯t you hate wearing these things the most in the past?¡± ¡°Do you think I want to? These few years, when I was working as an intern in the United States, I often ran to the construction site, so 1 always wore flat shoes and sports shoes. Moreover, I came for an interview today, so I specially bought a pair of high heels to wear. Who knew that it would hurt so badly¡­¡± Huang Amao glanced at her high heels.¡±¡®Yo, it¡¯s high heels from XXX. Aren¡¯t their shoes famous for their comfort? You can actually ground your feet to this extent. Could it be that you¡¯ve walked a long distance in high heels these past two days?¡± Anhao suddenly remembered how she had gotten off the bus early on impulse yesterday and walked for so long before returning home. The corners of her mouth twitched but she didn¡¯t explain. She continued to rub her ankle with her hand.¡±Forget it, it¡¯s fine. We have to wait for the news anyway. We might as well rest at home for the next two days. This is only a small injury. Compared to coming back alive from the car accident back then, it¡¯s nothing.¡± When Huang Amao heard her mention the car accident, he didn¡¯t say anything for a while. He just held it in, but in the end, he couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and asked directly,¡±¡±Why did you suddenly leave back then? Was it because of Zuo Hancheng? Because of Rong Xue? Or¡­¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao interrupted her, but her voice was very soft.¡±lf there was no relationship between him and Zuo Hancheng, he would have given up his life for me. How could I have left so easily?¡± ¡°But in the end, you still left without a conscience?¡±Huang Amao thought that Gu Anhao must have lost her mind after studying abroad. That was why she couldn¡¯t even speak logically.. Chapter 503 - Chapter 503: President Zuo Has Arrived (5) Chapter 503: President Zuo Has Arrived (5) Translator: 549690339 However, Anhao continued to smile as she rubbed her ankle.¡±¡±Then you should treat me as heartless.¡¯ Huang Amao¡¯s expression turned ugly. It was obvious that Gu Anhao was just using words to brush her off. Until now, she still refused to tell her why she left. ¡°Forget it. Three years is actually quite fast. It¡¯s just a blink of an eye.¡±Huang Amao said as he reached out to support her.¡±Can we leave? Where are you staying now? Shall I send you back?¡± Anhao had noticed that Huang Amao had driven here, so she nodded. ¡± ¡°Courtyard. ¡± Huang Amao almost gasped. ¡°What?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at her. She knew why she was surprised, but she didn¡¯t explain. She just smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be staying for the time being.¡± ¡°How can you live in a place like the private courtyard?¡±¡®Didn¡¯t you lose contact with Zuo Hancheng a long time ago?¡± Huang Amao looked as if he had seen a ghost. Besides, didn¡¯t you say that after the divorce, you¡¯ll ask him to sponsor you to study abroad for three years? He doesn¡¯t have to care about the other expenses, so you don¡¯t have any savings on hand until now, right? How can you live in such a place?¡± ¡°l already said that it¡¯s only temporary residence. Don¡¯t ask so much.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t know how to explain about the house, so she walked to the side of the road with Huang Amao¡¯s help. When she saw Huang Amao¡¯s white BMW, she smiled.¡±¡±A new car?¡± ¡°No, I bought it half a year ago. I just started it not long ago. To put it simply, I¡¯m still considered half a novice.¡±Huang Amao walked over with a car key in hand. At the same time, he put on his sunglasses and looked like he was going to flirt with a girl. Anhao happily opened the door of the passenger seat.¡±¡±Nonsense, of course I have to sit.¡¯ Huang Amao smiled and went over. After the car started moving, Anhao tidied up the plans in her bag and looked at the time.¡±lt¡¯s already afternoon. Have you eaten lunch? Do you want to eat at my place?¡± ¡°Yes, I ate. I ate three meals on time every day in the police station. My life was so boring that I couldn¡¯t even change my mealtime.¡±Huang Amao looked at Anhao while driving seriously.¡±You were waiting for the interview just now, so you didn¡¯t eat?¡± Anhao smiled and said,¡± It¡¯s okay, I¡¯ll go home and make eggs, cook bowls, and then I¡¯ll be fine.¡¯ ¡°You can cook noodles? Didn¡¯t you say that you only know how to cook instant noodles?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. I¡¯ve been outside for three years. If I didn¡¯t even have the basic ability to take care of myself, I would have starved to death long ago.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right. Big Boss Zuo is indeed quite heartless. He said that he would sponsor you, but he didn¡¯t sponsor you at all. He didn¡¯t even send a nanny or servant to take care of you. Tsk tsk, what a heartless man. It was fine to kick such a heartless man.¡¯ Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She looked outside and saw the stadium and cultural center that was about to be rebuilt. She thought about her previous design drawings and the fact that the judges had asked her to wait for news. She felt a wave of worry in her heart. If Zuo Hancheng had not been here today, she would have passed the test. In addition, she had worked in the Bode Company in the United States. This was a bonus point, so she should have been selected directly. However, Zuo Hancheng had interfered for no reason and did not express his stance. Perhaps those stubborn old men who wanted to curry favor with him thought that Zuo Hancheng was not satisfied with her design and did not intend to recruit her at all. If she really couldn¡¯t find a job here, then she could only consider other companies. After all, even if she had a place to live now, she couldn¡¯t live on her savings all day long. Moreover, her card didn¡¯t have more than 5,000 yuan in total. 5,000 yuan was already considered pretty good to be able to survive for a month in the city. Huang Amao glanced at Anhao¡¯s actions as she looked at the plan.¡±¡±You just returned to the country and you¡¯re already in such a hurry to find a job? You came back for work?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao kept the proposal. When she mentioned this matter, her eyes became a little indifferent.¡±lt¡¯s because of my mother.¡± Huang Amao looked at her strangely.¡±¡±You¡­ Mother? Didn¡¯t she already¡­¡± ¡°Have you ever thought about why my mother wanted me to join the Gu family since I¡¯m not Gu Tianmings biological daughter?¡±Anhao looked at the road in front of the car.¡± Also, my mother seemed to have come from America back then. After arriving in China, she changed her name and identity. It was already very strange that she could escape with her life. She could even change her nationality and identity and go to university in China. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s strange?¡± Huang Amao was a little stunned.¡± You¡¯ve never told Chunchun and me about this before.¡¯ Anhao froze. Although she did not intend to hide anything from Huang Amao and the others, she did not tell anyone about her state of mind and situation before she went abroad. She had never told them about how Gu Tianming had exposed An Pings murder in the United States. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s useless to say this now.¡±¡± Anyway, I came back to investigate my mother¡¯s matter, including my background,¡± Anhao said.¡± Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have returned to the country so suddenly.¡±¡± ¡°If you really don¡¯t have any money on hand now, I can help you¡­¡± ¡°No need.¡± Before Huang Amao could finish his sentence, Anhao not like when I was still in school, where it was so difficult to even find a proper job. She was a top student from the architectural design department in the United States, right? Do you think I went to America to fool around for the past three years? I can support myself now.¡± ¡°But didn¡¯t you want to check your background? Will work interfere with your business?¡±u pdat? by §á?w?o??l.?R? ¡°l don¡¯t have any leads yet. I have to stabilize myself first before 1 slowly start investigating the most basic areas. There¡¯s no hurry now. Anyway, let¡¯s settle the work first.¡¯ As the two of them chatted, they arrived at the parking lot outside Hua Ting Private Courtyard. Huang Amao saw that Anhao couldn¡¯t walk, so he helped her into the car. Huang Amao¡¯s eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he entered Anhao¡¯s current residence. ¡°F * ck! Anhao, you actually live here! Don¡¯t you know that you can¡¯t even buy an apartment of this size in A City with ten million yuan? The layout of the renovation was so good. It could definitely be sold for at least 17 million!¡± Huang Amao walked around the rooms as he spoke. When he entered the living room, he saw Anhao sitting on the sofa and changing her shoes. He said in surprise,¡±¡±Whose house is this? Anyway, you definitely can¡¯t rent it.. Even if you work now, you can¡¯t rent such a house with a month¡¯s salary!¡¯ Chapter 504 - Chapter 504: President Zuo Has Arrived (6) Chapter 504: President Zuo Has Arrived (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Don¡¯t you already have an answer in your heart?¡± Anhao looked back at her. Why are you asking me?¡± Huang Amao choked. He walked over to the sofa and looked at her calm expression.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you and Zuo Hancheng already¡­Are you divorced?¡± ¡°Yes. ¡°Then why are you still staying at his place?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a long story. I can stay in this house for the time being. Besides, he probably doesn¡¯t know that I live here yet.¡±Anhao looked in the direction of the fridge. ¡°¡±There¡¯s food and water in the fridge. Take whatever you want to eat. My feet hurt.¡± Huang Amao was too lazy to eat. He just sat on the sofa opposite her.¡±ls there still a possibility between you and Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Anhao interrupted her again. At the same time, she looked at the potion on the coffee table quietly. Although her roommates had some objections to the divorce agreement in her hands, Anhao felt that things were not that simple. Seeing Anhao¡¯s firm attitude, Huang Amao knew that he couldn¡¯t bring this up in front of her. Moreover, she had left so resolutely back then. Although Huang Amao and Chunchun felt that Anhao would never leave Zuo Hancheng just like that, Anhao had also said that Zuo Hancheng had risked his life for her back then. Why would she do that? Although Anhao had a rebellious personality in the past, she was actually the most assertive one among the three of them. However, her assertiveness was hidden under her willful and rebellious appearance. ¡°Then what are your plans? Was he going to find a job in City A to make a living? And then investigate your background? Oh, right, I¡¯m working in the police station now. I can help you check some household registration information in City A. If you need it, you can ask me to help you at any time.¡± ¡°That would be great, but my mother¡¯s household registration information doesn¡¯t seem to be in your police station. Besides, the important thing now is not the household registration information.¡± Anhao frowned at the pain coming from her foot again. At the same time, she said with a serious face,¡± I even suspect that some of the things that happened to my mother in the United States back then were not normal. Of course, it¡¯s just speculation. I only knew some things through some channels and connected them together. That¡¯s why I made so many assumptions. But whether it¡¯s really as I think, I still have to continue to investigate.¡± ¡°Chunchun will be back this weekend. Let¡¯s contact her later and go out for a gathering this weekend. She¡¯s being controlled by that devil even more strictly than you and Zuo Hancheng. She doesn¡¯t even have freedom and calls me all day to complain.¡±Huang Amao laughed as he spoke.¡± Back then, we could tell that there was definitely something fishy going on between Chunchun and the Great Demon King. Although she didn¡¯t say anything now, I¡¯m sure that there was definitely something dirty between her and the Great Demon King a long time ago¡­¡± Anhao immediately gave her a sideways glance.¡± You¡¯re always gossiping about other people¡¯s affairs. When will you settle your own relationship problem?¡± She was already in her twenties, but she had not even had a first love. Wouldn¡¯t it be embarrassing if word got out?¡± Huang Amao instantly hit her sore spot. He took out two pieces of paper from the drawer on the coffee table, wiped his hands, and threw them at Anhao¡¯s head.¡±¡®Get lost! Why didn¡¯t you say that you were married a few years ago? In the end, you haven¡¯t even had a child yet!¡¯ This was what Huang Amao said. If it was someone else, Anhao would definitely splash hot water on their face first. She knew that Huang Amao was mocking her for reaping what she sowed back then. She didn¡¯t even know that she was pregnant and still ate cold food every day. When they first brought her to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor rolled his eyes at her. In the end, the accident was not entirely to blame for the child¡¯s failure. She was not very stable at the time, and it was also largely due to her ignorance about pregnancy. Huang Amao stayed at her place until seven o¡¯clock in the evening. Before he left, he tried Anhao¡¯s cooking. Although Anhao¡¯s culinary skills were not considered to be top-notch, her taste was definitely authentic. She hadn¡¯t been training for nothing in the past three years. After all, she had shared an apartment with a few roommates in Boston. Sometimes, she wanted to go downstairs to eat noodles with fried bean paste, but she couldn¡¯t even get it. When she happened to come across a Chinese restaurant, the taste was definitely a combination of Chinese and Western. It was very strange, and she couldn¡¯t eat authentic food at all. Anhao was also forced to do so. If she wanted to eat some braised pork or ribs, she had to look up recipes online and make them herself. Three years had finally turned her, a little monster who could burn down the kitchen every time she entered it, into a person who could barely be considered to be skilled in cooking. Huang Amao finished the bowl of egg noodles without leaving any chopped green onions behind. In the end, he was so full that he left in satisfaction. Before he left, he even hugged Anhao and gave her a kiss. Huang Amao said that since she had not found a boyfriend yet and Anhao did not have a man by her side, if Anhao really felt lonely, they could just be together. After Anhao was disgusted, she was forced to push the smug Huang Amao out. Why was he pretending to be a tomboy? Did she not know whether Huang Amao¡¯s sexual orientation was normal or not? She didn¡¯t know who was the one who was infatuated with handsome men every time she saw them. She also didn¡¯t know who was the one who almost lost her life just to see a Korean oppa. After sending Huang Amao off, Anhao turned around and went back to clean up the dishes. After she was done, she took a shower and sat on the sofa to treat the few scratches on her feet. In the end, she looked up at the phone on the coffee table. Looking at the dark screen of the phone, she paused for a moment. She didn¡¯t know if she really failed the interview, but she hoped that she would receive a call to inform her to go to work tomorrow. Otherwise, she would have to go to other places for interviews and continue wearing high heels. She really didn¡¯t want to wear this thing ever again! As long as she passed the interview and could officially work, she would often go to the construction site to guide the design plan. She did not have to sit in the office for more than ten hours every day, so she could wear flat shoes and there was no restriction on her dress code. Her feet were already hurting so much. Hopefully, she could pass! Otherwise, she really wanted to call Zuo Hancheng and mock him. He had coincidentally come to her interview. If he was a judge, then so be it. There was no need to make things difficult for her because of past personal grudges. In the end, he had quietly caused her to not be hired on the spot! However, she thought about it and looked at her phone again. It had been more than three years. He probably had changed his phone number. She then sighed and laughed, laughing at herself for thinking too much.. Chapter 505 - Chapter 505: President Zuo’s Insomniac Syndrome (1) Chapter 505: President Zuo¡¯s Insomniac Syndrome (1) Translator: 549690339 For two consecutive days, Anhao didn¡¯t receive any calls from the company. She had already given un and could only prepare for the interview at Stars Corporation. She had indeed made preparations in the beginning. After all, no matter how confident she was, she had to be prepared for any eventualities. Therefore, when she was working on the design of the gymnasium and cultural center, she had also sketched out a sketch for the interview at Stars Corporation. Because she had a sketch, she didn¡¯t need to think about the design plan anymore. She just needed to do it in detail according to the sketch she had made at that time. Although Hua Ting Private Courtyard was located in the city center and was a unique mansion in A City, the neighborhood was very quiet. Moreover, she loved the floor-to-ceiling window in this house. She had already laid out a soft blanket early on. She sat there with her computer in her arms as she worked on the design drawings while looking back at the scenery of A City outside the window. She lived on the top floor of this building. Although it was only 33 stories high, it was 66 stories high because it was a double-story apartment. Sitting here and looking out, she could almost see half of A City alone. As she looked at the structure of the various large buildings in A City, her inspiration became richer. Moreover, it seemed that her apartment was the only one living on her floor. No one had seen anyone coming in and out of the apartment opposite, so it was probably empty. It was usually quiet outside the door. Anhao was almost done with her design drawings and planned to send her electronic file and design drawings to Stars Corporation¡¯s HR department before they got off work this afternoon. Just as she was finishing her final draft, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. She paused, stopped, and picked up the coffee cup beside her to take a sip. In the past, she never drank coffee because she couldn¡¯t stand the bitter taste. In the past two years, because she had to study and intern at the company, she was often busy until she only got four hours of sleep a day. Therefore, she could only rely on coffee to maintain her mental state. After a long time, she got used to it. There was quite a commotion outside the door. It sounded like someone was moving. Moreover, there were people talking non-stop, so it was not clear. Anhao put down her laptop, got up, and walked to the door. She didn¡¯t open the door and only listened through it. ¡°Miss Bai, this is the best house in the private courtyard of Hua Ting, and it¡¯s also the most advanced house in the entire community. Those who can live in this house are not ordinary people. For a person of your status to choose such a house and directly settle the money to buy this house, you really have a sharp eye!¡¯ It sounded like someone from the property management. It seemed that the house opposite had a new owner and was moving things inside. There were many people coming out of the elevator, and there were also the sounds of beds and cabinets. Anhao leaned against the door and raised her eyebrows. Should she say that she was unlucky or unlucky? Just as he needed to gather his energy and focus on re-writing the design draft for the interview, someone moved across the street. Moreover, it sounded like it would be quiet for the next few days. Fortunately, the new owner of the house opposite had no intention of renovating. He had just moved out. However, the noise would probably continue for another two to three days. There were still people talking outside. It sounded like the new owner, Miss Bai, was not an ordinary person. No matter how careful and generous the property management was to the owners, they had not heard the property management speak to anyone like this in the past few days. After listening for a while, Anhao went back to the French windows and saved the unfinished design drafts on her computer. She planned to take the computer downstairs to find a quiet cafe to continue editing the drafts. However, just as she changed her clothes and was about to leave, her phone rang. She looked down at the caller ID and the corners of her mouth twitched. The ringtone rang for a long time before she picked it up. When she picked it up, her eyes were more or less impatient. ¡°How did you know my new number after returning to China?¡±The moment she picked up the phone, she asked angrily. The person on the other end of the phone laughed.¡±What¡¯s wrong? How hard could it be for Grandpa to know your number? Your roommates and friends in America, which one of them doesn¡¯t know me? It¡¯s easy to find a friend who you haven¡¯t cut off contact with and ask.¡± ¡°Why did you call me out of nowhere?¡± Anhao snorted. Young Master Rong has just taken over his family¡¯s business in the past two years. He¡¯s been in Boston all day as the person in charge of some project. Even if he¡¯s just a person in charge, he should be very busy. Why does he have to be like a young master with nothing to do here?¡± On the other end of the phone, Rong Qian laughed.¡±How do you know that I¡¯ve completely taken over the family business? Have you investigated me recently? Why didn¡¯t I know that you were so concerned about me?¡± ¡°Ha¡­¡± Anhao laughed mockingly.¡±Your skin is really thick. The Rong family business has been reorganized, and Rong Yaoshengs son, Rong Qian, has officially taken over the power of the Rong family. This kind of news is everywhere in the business newspapers. How much does your dad praise you? You¡¯re just a hotheaded kid, yet you directly handed the entire family business to you. You even specially did so many reports. Speaking of which, if you squander all the family assets in a few years, will your parents regret giving birth to you?¡± Anhao tried to make things sound as unpleasant as possible, but Rong Qian smiled as if nothing had happened. It was as if he was not angry no matter how much she mocked him. When Anhao thought he was crazy and was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly asked with a faint smile,¡±Good sister, what did you eat to grow up?¡± Anhao sneered on the spot. How many times have I warned you not to call me that?¡± ¡°Good, good, good sister.¡± Rong Qian was so thick-skinned that Anhao could imagine his smile on the other end of the phone.¡±¡±My good sister, what did you eat to grow up? In the past, his mouth was already powerful, and now, his mouth was getting more and more vicious.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered with his teasing. She only glanced at the laptop in her bag and said in a hurry to go out. If you have something to say, say it. If not, hang up the phone. I don¡¯t have time to argue with you now.¡± ¡°Who told you not to accept my help? Before you returned to the country, I asked my friend to help you arrange a company and job with a good salary, but you didn¡¯t appreciate it. Now you¡¯re busy going to various places for interviews.¡± Hearing his smug tone, Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with him.¡±¡±Stop talking nonsense. I¡¯m hanging up!¡¯ ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? She was waiting for her grandfather to arrive.¡± Anhao was about to hang up the phone when her hand suddenly froze. She looked as if she had just heard some bad news..¡± You¡¯re coming to City A?!¡± Chapter 506 - Chapter 506: President Zuo’s Insomniac Syndrome (2) Chapter 506: President Zuo¡¯s Insomniac Syndrome (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°How is it? Happy? Looking forward to it? Especially excited, right? Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll take about a week to confirm the itinerary there. I¡¯ll Call you later.¡± ¡°Call, my ass. What are you doing in A City?¡± Anhao felt her scalp go numb. Rong Qian had been following her around like a devil for the past few years. She could not get rid of him no matter how hard she tried. Finally, they could be separated. He was too busy to harass her because he had accepted the Rong family¡¯s business, but he just said that he was coming to City A! This was simply shocking bad news! ¡°Why can¡¯t I go to A City?¡± ¡°Of course. Didn¡¯t you just take over your family¡¯s business? Shouldn¡¯t you be flying all over the world now? You¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Rong family had planned to expand their business in China three years ago, but this matter was put on hold for three years. The first thing I took over now is to go to China to expand our territory. Isn¡¯t this too surprising? Don¡¯t worry, when I¡¯m over, you don¡¯t have to prepare anything. Just go to the airport and pick me up!¡¯ ¡°Take your head!¡± Anhao raised her hand to her forehead and felt her head hurting.¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to come to City A to expand the business domain in China, right? China is so big and there are so many cities. Besides, I think Shanghai and Beijing are more suitable for you¡­¡± ¡°No, no, no, you don¡¯t understand. A City is a large coastal city and a provincial capital. In the past ten years, its development has been much faster than Shanghai. I don¡¯t even like Shanghai, a place where even a needle can¡¯t be inserted. A City is better. Otherwise, my father wouldn¡¯t have sent me directly to A City back then.¡± She couldn¡¯t interfere with the wishes of her father and the family business, but she felt that the peace she had just obtained was about to be broken. She rubbed her throbbing temples again.¡±Forget it. I can¡¯t understand the thoughts of young masters like you. Go wherever you want. Anyway, don¡¯t appear in front of me.¡± ¡°Do you think I will appear in front of you?¡±Rong Qian smiled like a ruffian. Anhao heard the sound of moving things back and forth outside. She was still thinking about the draft that she had not finished editing and did not want to waste any more time with him.¡±l didn¡¯t fall out with you in the United States because of your uncle. Rongqian, 1 have to make it clear to you now. I don¡¯t care about what happened three years ago, but it doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯ve completely let it go. I used your car to hit someone and forced you to be sent back to the United States for three years without freedom. If you didn¡¯t force me to get in the car, would so many things have happened?¡± After a moment of silence, Rong Qian suddenly said,¡±¡±When did 1 mention the past?¡± ¡°Otherwise, why have you been hanging around me all these years? I¡¯m not here for your own benefit, and Zuo Hancheng and I have already gotten married. Your sister has already gone to Africa to do charity work. Aren¡¯t you trying to take revenge on me for causing you to lose your freedom for the past three years?¡± ¡°Ha, Gu Anhao, it should be quite convenient to buy brain platinum in China, right?¡± Anhao was stunned by his sudden change of topic.¡±What?¡± ¡°Remember to buy some brain platinum to nourish your brain.¡±Rong Qian snorted and hung up the phone. Anhao was speechless. When she heard that the call had been hung up, she put down her phone and muttered,¡±Crazy, people who clearly don¡¯t match each other like to wander around in front of others. Why did they come to China? It¡¯s inexplicable,¡± After saying that, she pushed the door open and walked out. Just as she walked out, she saw two workers moving tables in. Anhao took the opportunity to turn around and take a look at the house opposite. The layout was similar to hers, but it looked a little smaller than hers. Of course, it wasn¡¯t much smaller. Moreover, from the new furniture placed at the door, it was all in the simple style of various big brands. Although it looked luxurious, it didn¡¯t make people feel that it was too exaggerated. From this, it could be seen that the new owner of the house opposite was a person with good taste. He glanced at the wardrobe that had not been sent to the room. There were also some clothes wrapped in plastic packaging. From the taste and style, it looked like a single woman. However, he didn¡¯t see Miss Bai. He only saw a few workers moving things back and forth. Anhao looked at it for a while more before she turned around and entered the elevator. He ordered a cup of coffee at the coffee shop downstairs and turned on his computer to redo the design draft that he had spent the entire morning working on. He made precise changes to every detail and made a simple proposal. When he looked at the time again, more than two hours had passed. After sending the design drafts to Stars Corporation¡¯s HR department in a hurry, Anhao stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a young and beautiful woman in a professional suit walk in. She ordered a cup of cappuccino and didn¡¯t sit down. Instead, she picked up the phone while drinking a disposable coffee cup and then walked out in a hurry. When the woman answered the phone, she said,¡± Okay, I got it. Someone from the Construction Bureau has already prepared the specific information. You can take a look when you arrive. I¡¯ll be there soon. I¡¯m moving today, and I have a lot of things to do. I didn¡¯t make it back in time. I¡¯m really sorry.¡±¡± The young woman walked to an Audi parked by the roadside, opened the door, and got in. Anhao¡¯s mind paused for a moment. It took her a long time to remember Deputy Director Bai from the Construction Bureau and the name Miss Bai that she heard through the door at home just now. It shouldn¡¯t be that coincidental. If that woman was really the Bai Weiwei that she had heard about, then it seemed that she should move to another place as soon as possible. It was obvious that the luxurious private garden was no longer suitable for her to live in. The car had already left. Anhao closed the computer in front of her. She didn¡¯t know if there was still the noise of moving at home, so she didn¡¯t plan to go back for a while. Instead, she sat in the cafe and looked at the cars coming and going outside. She thought about how she had adapted to a completely unfamiliar environment for the past three years and chose to live in the most realistic way she liked. She had finally gotten used to the United States, but in the blink of an eye, she returned because of a decision. She had long known that the gap between her and Zuo Hancheng was more than just an insurmountable chasm, so when she returned to the country, she did not hold any hope of seeing him again. Moreover, even if she did see him, it would be really awkward for her. After all, she still could not forget the look in his eyes when he agreed to the divorce.. Chapter 507 - Chapter 507: President Zuo’s Insomniac Syndrome (3) Chapter 507: President Zuo¡¯s Insomniac Syndrome (3) Translator: 549690339 However, Zuo Hanchengs appearance at the interview that day was completely out of his expectations. However, his attitude was as if he was looking at a stranger. Regardless, she knew that Zuo Hancheng knew that she was back and that she was in A City. However, she could meet anyone and reunite with anyone for so many days, but she never saw Zuo Hancheng again. It was like two people from two completely parallel worlds. There was no relationship or connection between them. The two parallel worlds could not capture each other¡¯s traces at all. It was as if Anhao had already understood a long time ago that people like Zuo Hancheng were not people she could get close to, let alone his status. If they had no relationship, it meant that they really had no relationship anymore. Even if they were in A City, people like him could not be seen easily. She hoped that it was just a coincidence at the interview venue that day, that she had come back to investigate her mother¡¯s matter, and that it had nothing to do with Zuo Hancheng. She hoped that the chaos that had suddenly leaped into her heart would dissipate as soon as possible. The next morning, Anhao was woken up by a phone call. She had not fully woken up yet, so she only answered a few questions when she picked up the phone. When she found out that she was hired, she said a few more words before putting down the phone and lying back in bed to sleep. She drank too much coffee yesterday and couldn¡¯t sleep. She had just slept not long ago and was really sleepy. However, after lying down for a few minutes, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up abruptly. She picked up her phone again and looked at the caller ID carefully. This was not Stars Corporation¡¯s phone! Moreover, she had sent the design drafts to Stars Corporation yesterday when it was almost time to get off work. It was not time to go to work yet, so it was impossible for the personnel department to see her drafts or call her at this time to hire her. Therefore, she was hired by the F and Construction Bureau! They were very satisfied with the design drafts and design plans that she had worked overtime for! That was what the person who informed her on the phone had said. Although she was a little confused at the time and did not hear it clearly, it was enough to remember that she had been hired. Anhao was suddenly filled with energy. She felt that the time she spent studying and working in the United States for the past three years had not been wasted. She had been hired on her first interview after returning to China. This feeling of being recognized was really more precious than meeting a talent on the streets! A few hours later, Anhao put on her suit. After all, she hadn¡¯t officially gone to work yet, so she couldn¡¯t neglect her manners. Fortunately, her feet had already recovered, so she put on her high heels and went out. This time, she went directly to the office of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Finance. Anhao rushed over with her resume attachment, all the identification documents, and academic qualifications. After a series of cycles, she finally completed the entry procedures. What made her even happier was that she wanted to take on the job of rebuilding the stadium and the Construction Bureau because it was a one-time job. Not only would the salary be high, but after signing the contract, the government would also pay her a design environment deposit in advance. After signing the contract, a staff member took her to the finance department. She received a deposit of 100,000 yuan, and after all the projects were completed, there would be a balance of 200,000 yuan. That was why everyone wanted to work in the government. It was because they did not lack money, and because the various benefits were so generous that they could do any job with peace of mind. After everything was settled, she was told to report to the office in three days. Then, she had to revise the design plan with several designers who were hired at the same time within half a month. After the plan was fully implemented within a month, the gymnasium and cultural center would officially start construction. Therefore, Anhao only had three days of free time left. After three days, she would be so busy that she might have to work overtime every day to discuss various changes to the design plan and so on. The staff from the government¡¯s Construction Department brought her to the office of the designers. Then, before Anhao left, they said,¡±¡±There will be a project opening banquet this weekend. The deputy secretary of the province and a few leaders of the Construction Bureau will be present, so there will definitely be all kinds of extraordinary upper-class people from both the business and political worlds. You designers are lucky to be invited. Remember to dress appropriately on the opening banquet day. Don¡¯t embarrass our Construction Department.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say much, just nodded and left. Behind her, a few designers who were hired at the same time didn¡¯t expect to receive such good treatment in the government. Although this kind of opening banquet is called a opening banquet, it¡¯s actually a way for the provincial leaders to take the opportunity to communicate with successful people in various fields. After all, there¡¯s nothing better than a banquet to greet and exchange pleasantries. We¡¯re really lucky to be able to attend this opening banquet¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard that high-end people from both the business and political circles in the province will come. I wonder how many people I¡¯ll see who I can only see on television and media magazines in the past¡­¡± ¡°Hey, Anhao, why are you leaving so quickly? We¡¯ve been hired together. Do you want to go for a drink? After all, we only have three days of free time left. We¡¯ll be colleagues from now on.¡± A girl who was about the same age as Anhao, who had also returned from studying abroad, suddenly jumped up to Anhao¡¯s side and put her arm around Anhao¡¯s arm. Her natural temperament was very similar to when she met Chunchun and Huang Amao in the past. However, Anhao had always had a special personality and would not get close to others for no reason. Therefore, in the past, she only had Chunchun and Huang Amao as her good friends in A High School. The other female students were basically not even acquaintances. In the past three years, her roommates in the United States had a good relationship with her, but they could never reach the point of being yellow. Originally, Anhao only came back to investigate her background and mother¡¯s matter. She didn¡¯t plan to stay for too long, nor did she plan to get along well with her new colleague. However, when she was suddenly greeted warmly and dragged out for a few drinks, Anhao saw that this girl¡¯s personality was similar to Chunchun¡¯s. For a moment, she didn¡¯t reject her. She smiled and said,¡±Sure, but I have something to do tomorrow, so it¡¯s not convenient¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, let¡¯s go and have a few drinks today. You can do whatever you want tomorrow.¡±The girl continued to hold Anhao¡¯s arm and turned around to greet the young people behind her, meaning that she wanted everyone to go together. Seeing that no one else had any objections, Anhao followed suit. However, before she left with everyone in a taxi, she suddenly noticed a familiar car parked at the square in front of the government.. Chapter 508 - Chapter 508: President Zuo’s Insomniac Syndrome (4) Chapter 508: President Zuo¡¯s Insomniac Syndrome (4) Translator: 549690339 The moment she saw the two cars, Anhao thought that she had seen wrongly. However, when Yi Zeyang got out of the car, she instinctively turned around and got into the taxi at the same time. When she got into the car, she looked out and saw Yi Zeyang get out of the car and walk around the car to the front passenger seat to open the door. When the car door opened, Qi Weiran¡¯s figure appeared. She was wearing a beautiful socialite outfit. Yi Zeyang helped her out of the car and hugged her waist at the same time. The two of them looked extremely loving. Yi Zeyang was also very gentle to her. From the way he took care of her, it was as if he wanted to give all the love in the world to her alone. Sometimes, people didn¡¯t believe in the so-called love that would develop over time. However, even if Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t have much feelings for Qi Weiran at first and was only in a marriage relationship, as time passed, no matter how arrogant Qi Weiran was, no matter how many despicable things Qi Weiran had tried to do to Anhao, and no matter how despicable the Qi family was back then, it could more or less be considered as love that had developed over time, Otherwise, why would his concerned look be so real? However, Qi Weiran looked very healthy. Her limbs were intact and her hair was uninjured. The last time Anhao saw Qi Weiran was in the car accident three years ago. She only remembered that Qi MJeiran was covered in blood and looked like she would stop breathing at any moment. Even though she had confirmed Qi Weiran¡¯s condition before she left the country and knew that she had woken up a long time ago, she also knew that she was fine. But now that she saw the scene outside the car, she truly believed that Qi Weiran was not dead. It was as if the rock in her heart that had been suppressed for many years had finally been completely lifted. Anhao no longer looked in that direction, nor did she consider why Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran came to Provincial Government F. She only shook her head when her colleague in the car asked her if she knew the best place to drink in City A.¡±l haven¡¯t been back for three years. I don¡¯t know where the best place is.¡± In the end, they went to a small bar that was not too eye-catching, but it was very quiet because there were not many customers inside. The bar next door was Huan Mei, whom she used to frequent frequently. Of course, Anhao did not ask to go next door. She wished that the people who knew her before could not see her now. How could she take the initiative to go to the territory of an acquaintance? It was just a few newbies getting to know each other. The girl who had a similar personality to Chunchun had been sitting beside Anhao. The girl¡¯s name was Zi Ran. When Anhao first heard her name, she didn¡¯t react. After Zi Ran said her name, she said with a depressed expression that every time she said her name, people would say that they wanted to use her to roast beef. Anhao actually didn¡¯t react and asked if she had always been overseas and rarely stayed in the country. Anhao was stunned for a long time before she understood what Zi Ran meant. Zi Ran? cumin? Roast beef? Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I didn¡¯t think of it that way. I¡¯ve only been studying in America for three years. I¡¯ve been living in A City.¡±¡± ¡°You¡¯ve always been in A City?¡± Zi Ran was excited on the spot. We¡¯re about the same age. Where did you go to school? After graduating from high school, I went to America to study architectural design. Because my parents were in the construction business, they hoped that I could come back and help them. In the end, I didn¡¯t want to work with them as soon as I came back. I secretly ran out to do the design drawings for the construction project of the stadium. I didn¡¯t expect to be hired! However, 1 don¡¯t want to go home to stay recently. I¡¯m afraid that my parents will scold me when they see me¡­¡± ¡°Why would he scold you when he earns a lot?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t happen. If I bring the 100,000 yuan deposit back today, my parents definitely won¡¯t scold me. But I don¡¯t want them to know how much money I¡¯ve earned. I still want to hide some of my own money and buy some gadgets that I like, so that every time 1 buy a bag or clothes, I won¡¯t be asked how much it cost. If they didn¡¯t know how much I earned, they wouldn¡¯t be able to guess the price of the bag and clothes.¡± It seemed that people who had parents would often have the desire to seek freedom, and Anhao had never experienced the feeling of having both parents since she was young. Hearing Zi Ran¡¯s words, Anhao lowered her eyes and looked at her phone. A message had just come in. However, the message was from a classmate in the United States who had sent her a notice to submit some documents after graduation. She took a few glances at it and picked up her phone. She searched aimlessly for the An family in the United States, but she could not find much. If she did not remember seeing that Mrs. An¡¯s face on television in the past that looked a little like her mother¡¯s, she might not have thought of this. Moreover, it was said that the An family and the Zuo family had always been family friends, but they did not seem to have any contact in the past ten years. Moreover, the Andersons were very mysterious. Some of them were in business in the United States, while others were in politics in the United States. They had an extraordinary status in New York. Actually, she didn¡¯t think too much about it. However, some information about her mother¡¯s past, as well as Ice Blue and all these coincidences, made her suspect that her mother¡¯s background back then wasn¡¯t simple. Moreover, her background was so powerful that she could be easily sent to China, changed her name, changed her nationality, and easily avoided the pursuit of the American police. Even until her death, no one knew her true identity. But how did Gu Tianming find out about it later? Could it be that her mother had revealed some secrets about her identity and background when she was with Gu Tianming? And the information that Gu Tianming had found out about her mother¡¯s past in a special way? However, Gu Tianming only found out that his mother was wanted back then. Someone must have been behind this. Otherwise, Gu Tianming wouldn¡¯t have known so clearly. Now that Gu Tianming was locked up, most of the Gu family had been secretly sent abroad to barely survive after their houses were raided. It was difficult to investigate and ask questions. It was really too inconvenient. ¡°Good, good.¡± Zi Ran had been talking to her at the side. In the end, after talking for a long time, she realized that Anhao was staring at her phone, thinking about something. She could not help but reach out and pull her sleeve.¡±You just returned, right? Do you have a place to stay here?¡± Anhao was stunned and turned to look at Zi Ran. She didn¡¯t answer but used her eyes to ask, not understanding why she would ask this. ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t want to go back to my parents ¡®place now. Besides, we have a deposit in our hands now. Together with the remaining payment in the future, we won¡¯t starve to death or be poor for the next two years. Why don¡¯t you go out and rent a house with me? We¡¯ll rent an apartment near Zheng F. The environment is especially good.. If the two of us rent together, we¡¯ll at least have company¡­¡± Chapter 509 - Chapter 509: President Zuo’ s Insomniac Syndrome (5) Chapter 509: President Zuo¡¯ s Insomniac Syndrome (5) Translator: 549690339 Zi Ran babbled on and on, but Anhao refused after a moment of silence. Of course, it wasn¡¯t because she was comfortable living in the private courtyard of Hua Ting that she refused to rent an apartment together. It was because she had lived in the same apartment with a few roommates in the United States for more than three years. Even if there were many rooms, it was inevitable that she still felt inconvenient. For example, girls of this age often behaved indulgently. For example, when a girl brought her new boyfriend back, she could hear the sound of love in the room even through the door. Even if she wanted to sit by the window and find a comfortable spot to work on her design, she would still be disturbed. Anhao used to be a lone wolf, and now she was even less likely to be sociable. She could be said to be eccentric or cold, but in short, for so many years, she had never been able to confide in anyone except Chunchun and Huang Amao. Even though this new colleague, Ziran, had a personality similar to Chunchun¡¯s and seemed to be very carefree and wanted to be friends with her, Anhao accepted the role of a friend. After all, she just came back and couldn¡¯t be alone all day, nor could she not even have someone to talk to at work. However, she didn¡¯t want to share the rent. However, she didn¡¯t reject her outright. She only said that she would think about it for a while. After all, she wasn¡¯t too sure if the person living opposite her was the woman called Bai Weiwei. Hua Ting Private Courtyard was not far from Zheng F. It took about fifteen minutes by bus or five to six minutes by taxi. It was very convenient. If the person living opposite her was not Bai Weiwei, she would not consider leaving for the time being. They didn¡¯t drink much during the goodnight celebration. They only raised their glasses to celebrate the good news of being hired. They drank a little together. There were less than two glasses in total, and it was just some light foreign wine. Zi Ran did not know how to drink. She only ate some fruits and dried fruits at the side. She occasionally clinked glasses with everyone with her drink. She seemed to be trying very hard to build a good relationship with everyone. In fact, Anhao was very envious of people like Zi Ran. Even if they weren¡¯t very familiar with each other, they could still smile and chat with each other. They would clink drinks and pass fruits and melon seeds to introduce themselves. Not long after, they would get along with everyone and laugh. Later on, everyone drank too much and Zi Ran no longer joined them. She sat beside Anhao and chatted with her all the time. However, she did not expect Anhao to be about the same age as her, about twenty-three years old. However, she gave off the feeling that she had experienced a lot and was not particularly excited or interested in anything. She was clearly a 23-year-old woman, but she was still considered half a girl. It was impossible for her to be too mature. At this age, she often liked to behave atrociously. Moreover, she had just graduated from school. She thought that the world was vast and her mouth was full of ambition and confidence. However, Ann didn¡¯t speak much, and she didn¡¯t give off a cold and aloof feeling. She just seemed to be very guarded and wouldn¡¯t be too enthusiastic to anyone. However, when someone came to clink glasses, she would still smile and raise her glass to thank them. At this moment, on the sofa next to them, a male colleague and a female colleague that they had just met were hugging each other and kissing passionately. Anhao clearly remembered that the two of them didn¡¯t seem to know each other before this. After they became new colleagues and sat together for more than an hour, they actually kissed! Moreover, they looked very passionate. A few colleagues were cheering at the side. Anhao only glanced over and did not say anything. Zi Ran grabbed her arm and said,¡±D * mn, even if they both came back from studying abroad, isn¡¯t this too open-minded? They even brought back what they learned abroad and kissed not long after sitting together. This is simply too explosive!¡± However, the two of them were kissing passionately. They did not care about the gazes of others, whether they were cheering or questioning. In the end, the female colleague blushed and leaned into the arms of the male colleague. She smiled and was embarrassed to let others see her face and expression. The male colleague hugged the female colleague and stood up. Although he did not say anything, everyone could tell that he was asking where the nearest hotel was¡­ Zi Ran was completely stunned. Everyone had just returned from studying abroad, and not everyone had stayed in City A before. When the male colleague¡¯s gaze finally landed on Anhao, Anhao sipped the water in her glass and glanced outside. She even glanced in the east direction. The male colleague immediately understood and walked out of the bar with his new girlfriend in his arms, leaving a group of single dogs cursing on the spot.¡±This kid is really fast. I thought that Xiao Yu was beautiful and had a good personality. I wanted to observe her and get familiar with her before chasing after her. In the end, he actually settled her tonight!¡¯S?@rch ?ewn??el. ?rg on g??gl? ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to look at the two of them normally in the office in the future. This is too fast! ¡°Zi Ran leaned against Anhao and muttered. Anhao smiled and put down the cup. In the world of adults, men and women ate and slept. Moreover, in this fast-food love society, who cared if you had known each other for an hour or a Just like when she was still in high school, she thought that she was very capable, but her horizons were still very narrow. Later, when she studied abroad, she saw those girls talking about how many miscarriages they had had as if they had eaten as simple as how many meals they had eaten. Only then did she realize that this society was not what she had imagined. After another hour, everyone dispersed. Anhao also stood up to leave. Zi Ran was sitting on the sofa when she suddenly received a call. Just as Anhao was about to leave the room, she suddenly ran out and grabbed Anhao!s arm.¡±Anhao, where do you live? Is it convenient to take me in for a night? When my parents heard that I had been used, they were furious and came over!¡± Anhao looked at the time. If you don¡¯t go back, won¡¯t you be anxious if they don¡¯t find you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My parents have always been laissez-faire towards me. They¡¯re only stricter about my studies and work. Other times, they don¡¯t care much about me because they want me to help them with architectural design at home. Now that it¡¯s so late, they won¡¯t find me, so they¡¯ll stay in a hotel. Anyway, the two of them won¡¯t make it difficult for themselves to look for me all over the street¡­ Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first, but Zi Ran suddenly said dejectedly, ¡±¡¯Forget it. We just met. It doesn¡¯t seem right for me to stay at your place like this. I¡¯ll find a hotel to stay in..¡± Chapter 510 - Chapter 510: President Zuo’s Insomniac Syndrome (6) Chapter 510: President Zuo¡¯s Insomniac Syndrome (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao smiled when she saw her disappointed expression. Although the place she lived in was very good, there was nothing valuable at home, so she did not guard against anything. It was just that she was not used to the close relationship with Zi Ran overnight. However, she didn¡¯t hate Zi Ran. Moreover, looking at her pleading look, she looked especially like a punching bag that had been bullied by her parents. Anhao smiled.¡± It¡¯s fine to stay at my place. As long as you promise not to tell anyone where I live and not to talk about me, it¡¯s fine.¡±¡± ¡°Of course I won¡¯t say it. Even if 1 like to talk, I¡¯m not the kind of person who¡¯s talkative. I like to chat, but I don¡¯t like to gossip about others¡­¡± ¡°l don¡¯t have any gossip. I just don¡¯t want my peace to be disturbed by others.¡±Anhao said lightly and walked out.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go to my place.¡± Zi Ran immediately followed happily. Anhao was about to go to the roadside to hail a taxi when Zi Ran suddenly took out a car key from her bag.¡±Don¡¯t bother taking a taxi. It¡¯s not far from where I used to live. My car is parked there. Anyway, I didn¡¯t drink. Tell me the location and we¡¯ll drive there!¡± Anhao turned around and looked at the BMW¡¯s electronic car key in Zi Ran¡¯s hand. She immediately looked at Zi Ran again and saw her turn around and walk in the direction not far away, as if she was going to get her car. Anhao stood there and laughed. She was also a rich girl who had been spoiled by her parents. Even if she was not from a wealthy family, she was at least from a well-off family and would not lack money. Only those who were spoiled by their parents would have such an innocent and passionate personality like Zi Ran. On the other hand¡­ Was she going to attribute her personality to her twenty-three years of experience? She still remembered Zuo Hanchengs evaluation of her as heartless. Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t have a heart.¡± The words that Zuo Hancheng had said in a low voice over three years ago inexplicably rang in her ears. Anhao snapped out of her daze and stood under the streetlamp by the roadside. She suddenly sighed and smiled. She raised her hand to stroke her long hair that was draped over her shoulders. However, the night breeze still blew her hair, which had grown a lot over the past three years, back and forth. It was better to be heartless than heartbroken. When Zi Ran drove the car over, Anhao was leaning against the street lamp and looking at the neon lights of the city at night. In the past, she never seemed to have the mood to appreciate the scenery of A City, even if it was a night view that could be seen at any time. Perhaps it was because she had been overseas for a long time, and now that she was back, she felt like she was back. Even if it was just a familiar LED screen that had not changed in three years, it still made her feel like she had finally returned to her hometown. ¡°Anhao, why are you in a daze? Get in the car!¡± Zi Ran stopped the car in front of her and urged her with a smile. Anhao glanced at the car in front of her. It was a brand that was not cheap but not particularly expensive. The total price was about five to six hundred thousand yuan. Tsk, she was indeed a rich girl. No wonder she was so willful. Anhao walked around the car and got into the car. She smiled and said a few words to Zi Ran. After telling her where she lived, the car drove straight into the traffic and left quickly. At the same time, Anhao lowered her head and tidied up the contract she signed today and some employment documents in her bag. She did not notice the person in the high-end SUV that passed by outside. Mobai looked at Zuo Hancheng who was sitting in the back seat as he drove. Zuo Hancheng still looked sober, but the tiredness in his eyes became more obvious as he got tipsy. It was a few hours of socializing at night and an unavoidable drinking session. In the past, President Zuo would more or less arrange for his subordinates to deal with these social events. Except for some indispensable and necessary events, he rarely lingered in those places where he put on an act. Of course, with President Zuo¡¯s status, not everyone could be invited. Usually, for some small roles, it was enough to send the vice president or assistant. However, in recent years, President Zuo had not been too resistant to these social events. He would often go when he had time. It was as if this was the only way to feel sleepy, as if this was the only way to fall asleep when they got home. ¡°President Zuo, your insomnia has been getting worse in the past few years. The doctor has already suggested that you drink less and socialize less. You¡¯ve already met Mr. Peter in person and settled the matter today. There¡¯s no particularly important occasion that requires you to appear in person in these months. I think you might as well take a rest.¡± Zuo Hancheng sat at the back and looked at the BMW that passed by him. There was no fluctuation in his eyes, but they darkened. He said in a calm voice,¡±¡±No need.¡¯ ¡°Why don¡¯t I send you back to Liujing Garden tonight? In the past few years, President Zuo has often lived in the company or the apartment near the company. He rarely went back to stay in the Liu Jing Garden. Now that this place is not far from the Liu Jing Garden, do you want to¡­¡± ¡°If I go back there, my insomnia will get worse.¡±Zuo Hanchengs voice was low and his gaze was indifferent. He did not look in the direction that the BMW had left. Mobai paused for a moment before saying,¡± 1 only heard Mr. Wenner mention that long-term insomnia is a psychological problem. Occasionally changing the living environment might be able to improve this situation.¡± If you don¡¯t want to go back to Liu Jing Garden, this place is not far from Hua Ting Private Garden. Don¡¯t you always have a few houses there? It was just that he had never stayed there before. Anyway, it had already been renovated. Why not go there?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand slowly and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.¡±¡±Forget it. If you keep talking, get out of the car. I¡¯ll drive back to the company myself.¡± Mobai could only shut up. President Zuo had drunk a lot tonight, so how could he let him drive back to the company? Even if President Zuo didn¡¯t look drunk and was still sober, he definitely couldn¡¯t take such a risk. It seemed like he would still choose to return to the company. There were so many places to stay in A City, even the presidential suite in a hotel. However, President Zuo had been staying in the company¡¯s lounge the most in recent years. However, this only made Zuo Hanchengs insomnia worse. Mobai was often the first to arrive at the office, so he often saw Zuo Hanchengs office light up early in the morning. Zuo Hancheng sat at his desk and worked. He looked tired, but it was obvious that he had not slept for another night. Mobai knew this very well. President Zuo¡¯s frequent insomnia symptoms had started three years and two months ago. Even though he and Wenner knew the reason, they could not say anything, let alone ask. Wenner had already tried to find a chance to give President Zuo some psychological guidance, but he was rejected by Zuo Hancheng every time.. Chapter 511 - Chapter 511: President Zuo’s Insomniac Syndrome (7) Chapter 511: President Zuo¡¯s Insomniac Syndrome (7) Translator: 549690339 Wenner had already tried to find a chance to give President Zuo some psychological guidance, but he was rejected by Zuo Hancheng every time. Then, Wenner would spread his hands at Mobai and say helplessly,¡±¡±l feel that my years of professional knowledge is completely useless to Mr. Zuo. It¡¯s time to consider changing the direction of interest.¡± Indeed, Wenner had always been able to figure out a person¡¯s personality and mentality with just a few words. However, he had suffered more than just a little loss at Zuo Hanchengs hands. It was a blow to his confidence. Every time Wenner was defeated by Zuo Hancheng, he would complain with a face full of emotion,¡±¡±President Zuo is so sick. Forget it, let¡¯s give up on the treatment.¡± Mobai was speechless. Those who were familiar with Zuo Hancheng knew that President Zuo was troubled. When they arrived at Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters, Zuo Hancheng went straight back to the company. Mobai did not follow them because he knew that it would be useless even if he did. In this world, there were only a few departments working overtime in the company. The lights in a few offices were still on. Zuo Hancheng would not turn on the lights even if he went back to the resting room on the top floor. It was almost midnight in A City, which was shrouded in darkness. The lights were still on, and the dark sky was a stark contrast to the bright lights in the city. Zuo Hancheng stood on the top floor of Shengling Group, looking at the night view outside in deep thought. The insomnia symptoms that had plagued him for three years and two months seemed to be getting worse and worse. Every night, he would find the quietness in the Sunset Villa unbearable. In the end, everything in the Sunset Villa was sealed away. and the number of times he went back gradually decreased. Until now, it seemed like he had not returned to that place for a very long time. Once upon a time, it was because there was a cold-hearted girl on the other side of the world. Her dawn was his good night. Now that the cold-hearted girl had finally returned, they could see the same sky, the same night, and the same city¡¯s neon lights. On the top floor of Shengling Group, one could see the lights of the various floors of Hua Ting Private Park in the distance. ¡°President Zuo, why aren¡¯t you resting?¡± Lin Qing was working overtime tonight. When he saw someone in the CEO¡¯s office, he knew without a doubt that CEO Zuo was planning to stay in the company again. Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He looked in the direction of the private estate. The 66-storey top floor suddenly lit up. He finally looked away and turned to look at Lin Qing, who had already entered the office.¡±Still here?¡± Lin Qing shook his head and smiled.¡± It¡¯s already mid-May. The joint venture project for the summer hasn¡¯t been finalized yet. I¡¯ll work overtime with the Planning Department and go back tomorrow morning to catch up on sleep.¡±¡± Zuo Hanchengs calm eyes did not fluctuate much in the faint light that came in from the corridor outside the office. His eyes were misty and could not be seen clearly. However, Lin Qing knew President Zuo¡¯s habits. If an employee had to work overtime, he would not stop them. However, he would usually give at least half a day off the next day to catch up on sleep. He would not treat the employee as a machine that did not need to sleep. ¡°The project plans will be arranged according to the order I arranged them yesterday. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Lin Qing was stunned.¡± CEO Zuo, do you mean we don¡¯t have to work overtime tonight?¡±¡± ¡°Go back and rest early.¡± Zuo Hancheng then picked up the main documents of the proposal on his desk.¡±¡±Give this to the project manager tomorrow. He will understand what I mean.¡± Lin Qing was a little surprised. In the past three years, President Zuo had not changed much except for staying in the company at night. He continued to work and was busy. He seemed to be busier than usual. Whether it was work or social gatherings, whether it was business trips or various meetings, his schedule was full. Therefore, everyone in the company took the initiative to work faster because of President Zuo¡¯s life-threatening busyness. In the past three years, many departments in the company had been working overtime. The frequency of overtime was much higher than three years ago. Usually, President Zuo would also ask each department to quickly get the required data. However, President Zuo had actually helped them pass the things that were about to be thrown into disarray to her today, so that they would not continue to take such a big detour to stay up late and work overtime to guess President Zuo¡¯s intentions. After all, although President Zuo did not seem to have changed much in the past three years, he had become more indifferent and unreasonable in dealing with people. Even Lin Qing, who had been by President Zuo¡¯s side for so many years, did not dare to speak to President Zuo as warmly as before¡­ Anhao woke up too early in the morning and even forgot to draw the curtains. After returning home, she turned on the lights, tidied up, pulled open the curtains, and looked out at the night sky. ¡°Anhao, you¡¯re too low-key. If I didn¡¯t shamelessly come back with you today, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have known that you were staying here!¡± Even a rich girl like Zi Ran was amazed by the fact that Anhao lived in the best penthouse apartment in A City. Everyone knew that people who could live in such a place not only had money, but also had power and connections. Only then could they buy such a good neighborhood and such a good location. This house was located at the highest point in the private park and had the best view. The price was also twice as expensive as all the other houses in the same neighborhood. If one did not have some status and capital, they would not be able to live in it. Knowing that Zi Ran had misunderstood that she was an invisible rich man, Anhao did not explain further. She only pulled open the curtains and turned around to walk back.¡¯!The house isn¡¯t mine. A friend lent it to me for a while. After the project is over and the final payment is paid, I¡¯ll move.¡± ¡°What kind of friend can afford such a place?¡±Zi Ran was still amazed. However, Zi Ran¡¯s upbringing was not bad. After entering the door, she did not walk around randomly. After all, she knew that she and Anhao had just met and weren¡¯t particularly close friends who could be indulged at will. It was already very good that she was mercifully brought back by Anhao. She kept wandering back and forth in the living room and didn¡¯t casually touch the door of the study or the bedroom. ¡°But Anhao, you¡¯re so beautiful. Don¡¯t tell me your friend likes you? Otherwise, why would he lend such a good place to you?¡± After Anhao heard this, she realized that Zi Ran was really a girl who had just returned from studying abroad and did not have much social experience. Although she was only a few months younger than her, she was already 23 years old, vet she could still ask such a Question. On account of her innocence, Anhao didn¡¯t mind the slight suspicion in her words. Her words were too euphemistic. It was obvious that she suspected that Anhao was a mistress of some rich man. However, she was only suspicious and was afraid that she would make her angry, so she asked in such a euphemistic way. ¡°Am I pretty?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.. Chapter 512 - Chapter 512: Because of Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 512: Because of Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Am I pretty?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. ¡°Anyway, she¡¯s much prettier than the other female colleagues today.¡±Zi Ran took the drink that Anhao took out from the fridge and said with a smile, ¡± ¡°Thank you. ¡°How is that possible? There are a few male colleagues among us who were hired together. They are obviously not interested in me. Instead, they are very interested in the female colleagues you mentioned. Don¡¯t use such irrelevant words to praise me. I have already agreed to let you stay over for a night.¡± Anhao smiled as she passed her some fruits.¡±¡±There are two guest rooms on the second floor, but I didn¡¯t tidy them up. There are still rooms on the first floor. You can stay in the guest room on the first floor.¡± ¡°l mean it.¡± Zi Ran drank her drink and not like the few of them, who always walk around with those male colleagues and laugh and fight. They instantly get along with their male colleagues, but you sit at the side drinking alone and basically don¡¯t talk much. They think you¡¯re cold and aloof, so they don¡¯t dare to be too close to you.¡± Anhao did not think much of it when she heard this. Anyway, she was the kind of person who did not get along with others. However, she glanced at Zi Ran and said,¡±Then why did you take the initiative to approach me? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll be too cold?¡± Zi Ran immediately laughed.¡± I just can¡¯t stand those female colleagues. I feel that they are a little too self-righteous. On the other hand, I¡¯d rather sit beside you and watch you put on a straight face than sit with them and laugh and attract the attention of those male colleagues.¡±¡® ¡°So I¡¯m your second-best choice?¡±Anhao laughed as she spoke.¡± You¡¯re very honest. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll throw you out and forbid you from staying here?¡±¡± ¡°You definitely won¡¯t. Besides, I¡¯m thick-skinned. Now that I have a place to stay, I definitely won¡¯t leave until tomorrow morning! ¡°Zi Ran chuckled as she picked up the fruit and looked around.¡± Anhao, your friend is really nice to you. The decoration of this house also looks very luxurious¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s really just an ordinary friend. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t deliberately explain it to him before she stood you bring a change of clothes?¡± Zi Ran was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at her clothes. Then, she said somewhat embarrassedly,¡±No¡­¡± ¡°l happen to have two sets of pajamas that I bought a few days ago. I¡¯ll lend you one. Take it away after you wear it.¡± As Anhao spoke, she went to the closet in the bedroom to take out a set of pajamas and placed it on the sofa.¡±¡±Go to bed early after you shower. It¡¯s not a good idea for you to hide from your parents. Anyway, I don¡¯t believe your one-sided story. Your parents must be doing this for your own good and don¡¯t want you to cause trouble outside.¡± Zi Ran sat on the sofa and nibbled on a banana as she looked at Anhao¡¯s figure. She did not say a word. After a while, she said,¡±Anhao, you¡¯re the same age as me, right? Why do I feel like you¡¯ve experienced a lot¡­¡± Anhao glanced at her and don¡¯t have parents, so my experience outside is definitely different from yours. Of course, if you listen to my advice, then so be it. If you don¡¯t want to listen, then I won¡¯t force you. But I¡¯ll only take you in for one night. Don¡¯t think about staying at my place forever. I¡¯m not as gentle as you think.¡± ¡°Anhao, have you fought with others before?¡±Zi Ran was surprised and looked her up and down. Anhao was wearing a professional female outfit. Her long hair looked especially feminine, and her skin was so fair. Her legs were long and thin under the dress. Now that she had changed out of her high heels and was only wearing a pair of slippers, it was impossible to tell that she had fought before. ¡°l also know Taekwondo. If you provoke me one day, I don¡¯t mind letting you experience it. ¡°Anhao turned around and went to the bedroom to change her clothes as if she was joking. After changing out of her professional suit, she came out with her laptop and water glass. Seeing that Zi Ran had no intention of moving, she sat on the sofa and looked at her. ¡°What time is it?¡± Anhao looked at her in confusion. Why aren¡¯t you showering and sleeping? Do you want me to chat with you all night?¡± Zi Ran looked at her in a daze as if she had yet to come back to her senses.¡±Do you really know how to do it?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao realized that her eyes were filled with admiration, and her lips twitched. She didn¡¯t expect that no one would notice her rebellious and trouble-making self after she had grown out her hair and changed her appearance for the interview. Sure enough, clothes make the man¡­ Seeing that Zi Ran was still in a daze, Anhao really wanted to go to the kitchen and take out a can of cumin to wake her up. Anhao casually picked up the tissue and crumpled it into a ball before throwing it accurately at Zi Ran¡¯s head.¡±¡±Go take a shower. I have to rush away the other design drafts. I don¡¯t have time to chat with you.¡± Zi Ran was hit by the tissue, but she didn¡¯t feel anything. She was only surprised that Anhao could hit it so accurately from such a far distance. Instantly, she believed that Anhao must know some martial arts. The admiration in her eyes intensified, and she stood up obediently.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll take a shower!¡± Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly paused. He turned around and saw that Anhao really wanted to rush the design drafts.¡±Haven¡¯t you already submitted the design drafts for the gymnasium and cultural center? Moreover, the higher-ups want all of us to agree on a design plan within a month. How are you going to do it yourself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the draft for the F University, it¡¯s the graduation project. I came back in a hurry and didn¡¯t even hand in the graduation project.¡±Anhao said casually and sat down with her laptop. Zi Ran still looked at her with a face full of worship.¡±Anhao, I¡¯ll be following you from now on, okay?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao glanced at her.¡± ¡°Because you know kung fu! 1 used to be bullied in school. Everyone called me a soft bun!¡± Anhao¡¯s forehead twitched. She felt as if she had really brought back a big problem. However, when she saw Zi Ran¡¯s smiling face, the corners of her mouth twitched. She signaled Zi Ran with her eyes to hurry up and take a shower. Zi Ran bounced into the bathroom. Anhao glanced in the direction of the bathroom. Because of the words ¡± Soft Bun¡± , she inexplicably recalled something Chunchun had said before. Anhao, after you fell in love with Zuo Hancheng, your personality has changed a little¡­ Did he really become a bun? Once a person had love and cared about people and things, they would no longer become so indulgent and unscrupulous. Forbearance was the best protection for their love and also the safest layer of protection for themselves.. Chapter 513 - Chapter 513: Because of Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 513: Because of Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 Three days later, on the first day of work. When Anhao went downstairs, she suddenly saw Zi Ran¡¯s car stop in front of the residential area. It looked like she had just arrived. She looked at Zi Ran in surprise. After all, after Zi Ran stayed at her place for a night, Anhao cruelly and mercilessly chased her away the next day. It was because this little girl kept receiving calls from her parents. It sounded like her parents were extremely anxious. Anhao did not want to bear this responsibility, so she chased Zi Ran back to her parents. After that, Zi Ran did not contact her for the past two days. She thought that the little girl had been brought home by her parents. She did not expect her car to stop just as she was about to go to work this morning. Zi Ran woke up a little early. After rolling down the car window, she smiled at Anhao and yawned at the same time.¡±Morning. The new apartment my parents arranged for me is near Hua Ting Private Park. I can give you a ride when I pass by this place on my way to work. Come on, get in the car and go to work together.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t expect her matter to be resolved so quickly. Seeing Zi Ran¡¯s exhausted look for the past two days, she walked over and got into the car. ¡°There are a few buses here that can pass by the government office directly. You don¡¯t have to come and pick me up. It¡¯s fine if you meet me on the first day of work. ¡°Anhao said. Zi Ran was still yawning. As she yawned, she said,¡±Anyway, when I drove here just now, I estimated that you were about to come out. I was about to stop and wait for you for a while, and I saw you walk out.¡± ¡°Your parents didn¡¯t force you to come home?¡±Anhao asked with a smile. Zi Ran looked at the road in front of the car listlessly. As she drove carefully, she said,¡±Originally, they really wanted to take me away by force. However, after I begged and promised ten thousand things, they allowed me to work here for a year and a half. When the construction of the government office is finished, I will sit down and have a good talk with them about where I want to work. I won¡¯t just barge in and make them worry.¡± She still remembered what Anhao said when she was chased back to her parents ¡®side by Anhao. She had more or less listened to Anhao¡¯s advice, or else her mind wouldn¡¯t have changed so quickly. ¡°Oh, right.¡± Zi Ran said,¡± My parents saw that the environment of the house I rented previously was average. After they came, they helped me get a new apartment. It¡¯s behind Hua Ting Private Park and is especially close to you. These two days, I was busy moving and accompanying my parents to go shopping. I also ate and drank a lot, so I didn¡¯t sleep well. In the end, the last three days of leisure time were gone. Now, I¡¯m so sleepy that I can¡¯t even open my eyes, but I still have to go to work.¡± Seeing that Zi Ran was so sleepy that tears were about to fall, Anhao looked at the time.¡±This place is actually not far from the government office. It takes more than half an hour by bus. Why don¡¯t you stop driving in the future and take the bus to work? That way, you can still sleep for half an hour in the car.¡± ¡°How can that do? I still plan to drive to the entrance of Luxury Court every day to bet on you and let you ride in my Shun Feng car every day!¡¯ Anhao was instantly amused. Are you trying to hit on me?¡± Zi Ran immediately chuckled and said,¡±I want you to protect me!¡± By the way, you don¡¯t know yet, right? I received a call from our new colleagues yesterday. They were privately discussing who the chief designer and the director of the design department should be. After all, among all the people who were hired, there would always be one who was given the authority of a manager. They all said that the leader seemed to like you.¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard of it?¡± ¡°Of course you didn¡¯t hear about it, because this rumor is only spread among us. Then, because the leader values you very much, those female colleagues from that day were a little unhappy with you in private, so they didn¡¯t tell you¡­¡± No wonder. However, Anhao really hadn¡¯t heard of this matter, so she didn¡¯t take it seriously. She guessed that they were just gossiping on the phone. On the other hand, Zi Ran seemed to tell her everything. She did not seem to be so guarded. Anhao did not expect everyone to get along with her, nor did she expect herself to live in a lively social circle and colleagues ¡®circle every day. Although Zi Ran was a little noisy, at least she was not scheming. To be able to unintentionally gain such a friend was also the first big harvest after returning to China. When they arrived at the company, the colleagues met again. The leader came in and assigned them a table and arranged the weekly meeting schedule and design plans. Finally, he asked Anhao to go to a separate office in the design department. This scene further confirmed everyone¡¯s guesses until the leader really gave the position of chief designer and head of the design department to Anhao. Anhao looked at the environment in the private office and the words ¡®chief designer¡¯ on the desk. She felt as if she was going to be isolated on her first day at work. However, she had to accept the position arranged by the leader. As for whether the other colleagues in the office would believe in her, it really depended on her own ability. ¡°The higher-ups are very satisfied with the design proposal you submitted, so they asked everyone to make overall changes according to your design draft and proposal. The Construction Bureau, including the major investors, have high expectations for this reconstruction.¡± Anhao nodded.¡± Thank you, Leader. I will do my best to organize the reconstruction plans of the municipal buildings with my colleagues. We will do our best.¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s not about trying to do your best. We have to do our best. We¡¯ve put all the pressure on you. Now that you¡¯re the chief designer here, it can be considered that the higher-ups think highly of you.¡± Finally, after the leader of the government¡¯s human resources department explained some more details, he brought Anhao out to formally explain the position of the design department to the other colleagues. When she introduced Anhao¡¯s academic qualifications, work experience, and design plans as the best in the office, so the higher-ups appointed her as the temporary chief designer and asked everyone to cooperate with Anhao¡¯s work, Zi Ran was the first to raise her hand and applaud loudly. The other people were a little disappointed. After all, they were hired together. Everyone should have this opportunity. Why did the higher-ups directly decide that she was the boss of this office? However, with the higher-ups here and Zi Ran clapping non-stop, it was not good for everyone to be too obvious. Therefore, they raised their hands and clapped. They said a few words of congratulations and would definitely cooperate. Seeing that the atmosphere was quite harmonious and that Anhao didn¡¯t look like someone who couldn¡¯t handle the situation, the head of the human resources department left immediately and handed the place over to them, who were on their first day of work.. Chapter 514 - Chapter 514: Because of Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 514: Because of Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 The atmosphere on the first day of work was weirder than expected. Of course, Anhao herself was quite surprised to be able to sit in the position of chief designer. After all, the leader had not revealed this matter to her at all. Even if Zi Ran had reminded her beforehand, she really did not expect it. What was even more unexpected was that the originally harmonious atmosphere in the office had turned dark and turbulent because of the appointment of a chief designer in the morning. Every time Anhao came out and sent the design drawings to everyone, everyone would deliberately complain loudly, saying that there was still a month to modify, and there was no need to assign such a large workload on the first day. They also said that each of them had a set of selected designs in their hands and that they would have a chance to submit them to their superiors within half a month. It was obvious that the final draft did not have to be Gu Anhao¡¯s. Everyone still had a chance. Even though Anhao knew what the leader meant, which was that she had already decided to use her design drawings, her colleagues in the office deliberately did not cooperate, They were just using the opportunity and the manuscript as an excuse. Zi Ran saw that everyone was so unreasonable and refused to give Anhao face. They even ignored Anhao, the head of the design department. She stood up and was about to help Anhao say something, but Anhao quietly turned and glared at her, indicating for her to sit down and not cause trouble. Zi Ran could only sit back at her desk and mumble,¡±Since the leader has been assigned a good job, it must be because of the leader¡¯s reasons. Everyone can¡¯t be unconvinced because they think that Anhao was hired on the same day. After all, Anhao had two years of internship and work experience in the United States. She has two more years of experience than us. We are all students who have just graduated and don¡¯t have as much experience as others. If anyone is unconvinced, you can go directly to the leader and say that you want to be the chief designer. You don¡¯t have the ability to make the leader take a fancy to you.¡± What did he mean by making things difficult for Anhao in private?¡± Zi Ran¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud, but the office was very quiet. A few mutmutterings were still heard by everyone. Suddenly, everyone¡¯s expression turned ugly as they glanced at her, and even more female colleagues mocked her in the same low voice: ¡°What a lackey!¡± ¡°Hey, what are you talking about?¡± Zi Ran was about to stand up. Anhao suddenly walked over and held Zi Ran¡¯s shoulder. At the same time, she looked at her female colleague, Xiao Qiu, who was sitting opposite her. Xiao Qiu was the one who had kissed another male colleague and booked a hotel room when they went out for a drink the other day. It seemed that she thought that with her new boyfriend¡¯s protection, the two of them were more powerful than others, so her attitude was even more obvious. Zi Ran couldn¡¯t get up and argue with Xiao Qiu because Anhao was holding her down. At the same time, she suddenly heard Anhao speak as she pressed her shoulder. ¡°Everyone, l, Gu Anhao, am indeed lucky to be valued by the leader. However, the workplace is not a school. It¡¯s not a place where you can behave atrociously as you wish. Other than thirty percent luck, there was also seventy percent talent and hard work, and more importantly, experience.¡±An Hao said calmly,¡± Coincidentally, I have two more years of internship experience than all of you. My design drawings aren¡¯t the best, but work is work. The leaders always choose the most qualified person to stand here and lead everyone to work hard to complete the design plan.¡± ¡°Of course, I will give you a week to adapt to the new working environment and my existence. If you still can¡¯t take it anymore after a week and your working condition is still like a plate of loose sand, then I¡¯m sorry. Although l, Gu Anhao, am a few years younger than some of my colleagues in the office and look like a graduate who just came back from studying abroad, I have a bad temper. If anyone dares to go overboard in front of me or treat work as a child¡¯s play, I will make good use of the power in my hands and choose the best. I think everyone should know that since I am not only the chief designer but also the head of the design department, I have the right to fire anyone.¡± Upon hearing the word ¡®dismiss; the few people who had originally been expressionless gradually turned their heads away and no longer looked at her with that kind of gaze. Of course, there were also two female colleagues who kept staring at her with ugly expressions, as if they wanted to see how pretentious Gu Anhao could be on her first day of work. Anhao immediately smiled and stared straight into the female colleague¡¯s eyes.¡±Just now, the leader of the Human Resources Department told me that there are still a few places to be selected from the last recruitment. It doesn¡¯t mean that you can work here for a few months after you are hired, nor does it mean that you can wait until the construction is completed and receive the final payment. ¡°If the design department is too slow, or if I take the initiative to replace someone, the deposit you just received will be forcibly returned to the government. Because your drawings are not adopted in the end and there is no merit or fault here, the money will naturally be returned. I believe that since you chose to work here, you all intend to leave your names on the reconstruction of the stadium and cultural center before you officially work elsewhere.¡± This way, everyone¡¯s future path will be wider.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Anhao!s hand moved away from Zi Ran¡¯s shoulder. She turned around and walked back to her office while saying the last anyone thinks that they¡¯re very good and doesn¡¯t mind being forced to leave their first good job after graduation, then they have to fulfill their duties as an employee of the design department in this office. If anyone doesn¡¯t mind being forced to leave, I can make them pack up and leave tomorrow.¡± ¡°You can say that I¡¯m using a chicken feather as an arrow of command, or that I¡¯m a new official. In short, it¡¯s still the same sentence that I just said. l, Gu Anhao, have a bad temper.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Anhao had already walked back to her office behind the glass door. Although her office was separated from everyone else, they were still in the same big office. It was just that she was behind the glass wall and it was very quiet. When he raised his head, he could still clearly see everyone¡¯s expressions and working conditions. A few of the male colleagues were more rational. After thinking things through, they no longer had any unconvinced expressions. They had already picked up the design drawings on the table that Anhao had just handed over and looked at them carefully. There were also a few female colleagues who were still reluctant, but they did not expect Gu Anhao to be so unafraid of completely offending everyone. She actually said it so straightforwardly. Wasn¡¯t Gu Anhao afraid of being hated and ostracized by everyone? Wasn¡¯t she afraid that she wouldn¡¯t be able to fit into the social circle of this working circle? Chapter 515 - Chapter 515: Because of Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 515: Because of Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Anhao, I thought you were like me. You don¡¯t dare to speak when you¡¯re bullied by others. I wanted to protect you today, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be so powerful.¡±When Zi Ran went out for lunch with Anhao, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Having heard Zi Ran¡¯s complaints about her new colleague, Anhao rested her chin on one hand and glanced at the cars coming and going outside the restaurant. Then, she said,¡±They just think that it¡¯s my first day at work and I won¡¯t offend everyone, so I will definitely be bullied by them. However, it was precisely because today was the first day of work that if I couldn¡¯t suppress them on this day, they would only be even more arrogant in the future and treat me like nothing.¡± ¡°Are you really not afraid of offending everyone and making them dislike you?¡±Zi Ran asked softly. ¡± Unless the HR department doesn¡¯t want me to be the head of the design department,¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± I can still consider getting along with everyone.¡± But now that the positions had been distributed, I would have to bear all the passive consequences of this responsibility. Being isolated by my colleagues was too normal. Since I would be isolated no matter what, it would be better to let them gain some fear and trust in their isolation. It was better than having a group of people look down on me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zi Ran ate as she mumbled,¡±But Anhao, when you told everyone that you were in a bad mood today, I felt a chill running down my spine. I feel that you¡¯re intimidating enough. Even I don¡¯t think you¡¯re a good person to offend, let alone them.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. Maybe there are still some who are not afraid of death who will secretly go to the HR department and Minister Qin to complain and reason things out.¡±Anhao curled her lips.¡± However, that¡¯s useless. I¡¯ve been in contact with the workplace since three years ago before I graduated from high school. In just half a month, I¡¯ve seen too much about the cruelty and reality of the workplace. It¡¯s easy to tell who¡¯s scheming in our office, who¡¯s too naive to be used by others, and who¡¯s too arrogant.¡±¡± ¡°You had the opportunity to come into contact with the workplace before you graduated from high it in America or China?¡± Zi Ran was surprised. Which company? Is there a lot of competition in the workplace?¡± Anhao remembered that even a small logistics department in Shengling Group had all kinds of open and secret struggles, let alone the various departments above. At that time, Zuo Hancheng had already sternly told her about the rules of elimination in the workplace. At that time, Zuo Hancheng was already trying to turn this rebellious girl into a mature person. It was a pity that she was still living under his protection at that time and was not afraid of anything. It was a pity that he did not participate in the time when she really matured. It was a pity that she did not need any protection now. She had already known what kind of attitude she should have if she wanted to survive in a certain environment. Three years might be too fast, but after experiencing too much, it was inevitable that he would mature faster than others. Anhao was eating something while trying to get a drink. At the same time, Zi Ran was raising her hand to call the waiter over for a can of drink. Anhao¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She picked up her phone and glanced at the judge who had interviewed her before. Anhao wiped her hands and picked up the phone.¡±Minister Qin?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, today is your first day at work. Fortunately, you didn¡¯t disappoint us. Your design drawings and proposals have indeed caught the attention of the higher-ups. I heard that the HR department of Zheng F has already given you the qualification to be the chief designer, right?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she said,¡± Thank you, Minister Qin, for your favor. It¡¯s also thanks to the appreciation of the elders and leaders that I have this opportunity to show off my skills.¡±¡± ¡°What are you talking about? On the day of the interview, I saw that President Zuo¡¯s attitude towards you was average, but it was obvious that among those who went for the interview later, President Zuo paid more attention to you. After that, President Zuo basically didn¡¯t ask any more questions about those who went for the interview.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows slightly stagnated. She did not understand why Minister Qin suddenly mentioned Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Minister Qin, you mean¡­?¡± she asked carefully. Minister Qin smiled.¡± After all, Shengling Group is the investor and participant of this large-scale municipal reconstruction project. As the chief investor and project manager behind the scenes, CEO Zuo will be holding the opening ceremony in a few days. 1 don¡¯t know if CEO Zuo has time to attend, but we have invited CEO Zuo to have dinner with us next Monday. Since you are the designer that CEO Zuo personally interviewed and are now the head of the design department, why don¡¯t you come with us to the dinner on Monday night?¡± Anhao instantly sat up straight, and the hand holding the phone tightened.¡±¡±Minister Qin, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m qualified to attend such a dinner¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push it away. The design proposal was able to pass so quickly this time all thanks to your design drawings. However, whether or not the general details of the design proposal can be finalized will still depend on you and President Zuo. After all, whether or not the final draft can be finalized in a month depends on President Zuo. If you don¡¯t seize the opportunity to get to know President Zuo now, how can you talk to him in the future? What if the design proposal was delayed and couldn¡¯t be completed within a month? Have you ever thought about how much losses you will cause to the investors, including our government and the various construction agencies?¡± Anhao was speechless for a moment. She could only say,¡± But I¡¯ve only been at work for a few days, and I¡¯m already going to see President Zuo. We haven¡¯t even finished the design yet. Isn¡¯t it too abrupt to go over just like that?¡±¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, 1 won¡¯t be abrupt. The reason why President Zuo came to the dinner on Monday was that he would be on a business trip abroad in a few days. He probably didn¡¯t have time to come back and celebrate with everyone, so he took time out of his busy schedule to accept the invitation of the political F. This was a rare opportunity that others couldn¡¯t even go if they wanted to. Why did you keep refusing?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Oh right, President Zuo is quite satisfied with your design drawings. Otherwise, you should have been rejected when you weren¡¯t hired directly that day. However, because of President Zuo¡¯s casual words, we decided to find you and let you take this job. As the chief designer, you should at least go and give a toast. It can be considered that you¡¯re representing the design department and construction department of our government.¡± Minister Qin¡¯s words were like a huge mountain pressing down on her. Anhao didn¡¯t even have the chance to reject him. She was even more surprised that she was able to get this rare job in the end.. Could it be because of Zuo Hancheng? Chapter 516 - Chapter 516: Because of Zuo Hancheng (5) Chapter 516: Because of Zuo Hancheng (5) Translator: 549690339 Night-Fire Nightclub. ¡°I thought you really didn¡¯t plan to find that little girl again.¡±Wenner put down the cup in his hand and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was also holding a glass of wine, with a faint smile on his face. However, Zuo Hancheng did not drink much. It was just that he did not have time to attend Wenner¡¯s birthday party a few days ago. It was rare for him to have time to accompany him for a drink tonight so that he would not be nagged about in the future. Hearing Wenner¡¯s sudden words, Zuo Hancheng sat quietly on the sofa and gently swirled the square glass in his hand. The wine at the bottom of the glass slid on the wall of the glass and slowly fell back to the bottom. Zuo Hanchengs cold eyes glanced at Wenner, who seemed to have noticed something. At the same time, he curled his lips into a meaningful smile. However, the smile did not reach his eyes. He was still cold and noble. Some young girls who passed by often looked in this direction and could not help but cast sidelong glances at him. Wenner was already considered a very good-looking man. He was also a foreigner and had rare blue eyes. People like him would always be the focus of attention no matter where they went. However, once he was around Zuo Hancheng, the focus would shift away from him. Wenner whistled at the passing girl and looked at Zuo Hanchengs calm expression.¡±¡±You should already know about Anhao¡¯s return, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but his handsome eyebrows moved slightly. Wenner continued, ¡°¡±Or perhaps I should ask this. Was Anhao¡¯s return under your control?¡± Zuo Hanchengs eyes finally showed a genuine smile. However, the smile was very faint, making it difficult for Wenner to figure out what he was thinking. However, Zuo Hancheng only drank the remaining liquid in the cup. When he put down the square cup in his hand, he said,¡±What have you heard recently?¡± ¡°l don¡¯t need to ask around.¡± Wenner scoffed.¡± It¡¯s not like I¡¯m not familiar with those people back in America. However, I saw that you¡¯ve been avoiding talking about Anhao for the past two years. 1 thought that you were angry at that heartless girl and really didn¡¯t want to care about her anymore, so I didn¡¯t ask about it anymore.¡± ¡°However¡­¡± Wenner suddenly raised his eyebrows.¡± I just heard that Anhao has returned to the country recently. She¡¯s as stubborn as you. She¡¯s been looking for a job for the past two years and has been studying while working. I thought she was planning to stay in the United States for a long time, but she just graduated a few days ago and suddenly rushed back to the country. I know that girl. Although she used to look like a child, that was just her protective cover. Since she has decided to part ways with you, she will never come back. Even if she comes back, she won¡¯t return to A City. But she just had to come back.¡± ¡°When I heard the news of Anhao¡¯s return, I only felt that this was simply turning something rotten into something magical. How did Gu Anhao, that stubborn stone, think things through?¡±As Wenner spoke, he looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had remained calm all this while as if he was listening to someone else¡¯s story.¡±So I asked around with the people in America and found out that you had been waiting for her to graduate. After she graduated, you sent someone to her side to vaguely reveal the news about her background and that Anping might still be alive. It was so flawless that Gu Anhao never thought that you would set a trap for her and take her out of America.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled elegantly. He did not admit or deny, nor did he explain. When Wenner raised his glass and walked over, he picked up another square glass with wine and clinked it with him. He took a sip and said. ¡°¡±It¡¯s obvious that those people from the United States are not on guard here. It seems that I should replace those people with people who are not familiar with you.¡± ¡® It¡¯s great to see the prey that you¡¯ve neglected for three years finally return after learning and falling into the trap that you¡¯ve set up long ago,¡± Wenner smiled proudly.¡± Isn¡¯t it a great sense of accomplishment?¡± ¡°A trap?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly at his repeated use of such an analogy.¡±Three years ago, I said that it was a stubborn stone that could not be broken. You should know my nature. If I encounter a problem that can trouble me, I will not be able to sleep if I don¡¯t completely overcome it. ¡± ¡°Indeed, you have been suffering from insomnia for three years. ¡°Wenner sneered with a half-smile.¡± That heartless rock has returned to A City recently. He¡¯s with you not far away. Has your insomnia improved?¡± Zuo Hancheng put down his wine glass and shook his head. ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡¯ Wenner was slightly surprised. Logically speaking, she had already returned and was very close. You could capture this prey at any time. How could you still lose sleep?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the men and women who were drinking and having fun not far away. When he turned back, his eyes were dark and his voice was faint.¡±The urn has been set up and I¡¯m thinking about how to capture it perfectly.¡± ¡°So you want to catch a turtle in a jar.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao is really sly.¡± Wenner laughed. ¡± By the way, I saw her in America two years ago. I saw that she had a deep misunderstanding about you and Rongxue, so I explained everything to her, including the misunderstanding between you and Rongxue. 1 told her everything. ¡± ¡± I know you¡¯re involved in what the old man did. You couldn¡¯t tell Anhao before you found out the details. After all, it was related to the old man¡¯s methods. Anhao had already been in America for a year. Although she didn¡¯t seem to mind at that time, she listened to me patiently. But after knowing the whole truth¡­ At this point, Wenner looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had raised his eyebrows slightly. He smiled and continued,¡±¡±She just left.¡± Zuo Hanchengs eyebrows twitched.¡± ¡°Two years ago, you didn¡¯t plan to mention Anhao again. After I came back, I didn¡¯t tell you. Moreover, Anhao¡¯s reaction really shocked me, so I didn¡¯t want this matter to spread from me. However, seeing that you¡¯ve already set a trap to capture her, I¡¯ll tell you so that you¡¯ll have some confidence.¡± Zuo Hancheng had always been a strategist, but Anhao was different. Usually, Zuo Hancheng would be more or less surprised by something that even Wenner was shocked by. ¡± Anhao really just left without saying a word,¡± Wenner said.¡± It was as if I had explained to her about you and Rongxue for so long. It didn¡¯t matter to her. She just left.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng was not surprised at all after hearing Wenner¡¯s words. He only smiled faintly as if he had expected this outcome. Or perhaps, Zuo Hanchengs understanding of Anhao was deeper than anyone could imagine.. Chapter 517 - Chapter 517: I Like You (1) Chapter 517: I Like You (1) Translator: 549690339 It was the weekend after just two days of work, so Anhao worked overtime until late on Friday night before going back home. She originally wanted to have a good sleep on Saturday morning before thinking about attending the dinner on Monday. However, on Saturday morning, she was bombarded with phone calls as soon as she reached the stage of deep sleep. She turned over under the blanket and reached for the phone with a frown. When she saw that the caller was Rong Qian, she threw the phone on the carpet under the bed and did not want to answer it. However, the phone continued to ring on the carpet. An An sat up angrily and scratched her hair. She bent down and picked up the phone in frustration. She picked up the phone and was about to scold him when Rong Qian¡¯s order came from the other end,¡±Pick me up at City A¡¯s airport in two and a half hours.¡± Anhao choked back the curses that were about to come out of her mouth. She took a quick glance at the time. It was eight o¡¯clock in the morning. She had only gone to bed at four o¡¯clock last night! She grabbed her hair in frustration and asked, ¡°M/hat do you mean I¡¯ll pick you up in two and a half hours? It took two and a half hours to fly from the United States to China? Who are you fooling? ¡°I¡¯m not on a direct flight. 1 1 m in Shanghai now. I¡¯ll board the plane immediately and arrive in City A in two and a half hours. The weather is fine, and the plane won¡¯t be delayed or delayed. When I arrive, I have to see you first.¡¯ Anhao immediately gripped her phone tightly and scolded,¡±¡±Young Master! I¡¯m not your maid, nor am I your subordinate. How can you order me around like this? You even threatened me? So what if I don¡¯t pick you up?¡± ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to come?¡± ¡°No! I worked overtime very late last night and am very sleepy now. Moreover, I¡¯m not in your uncle¡¯s company now, so there¡¯s no need to give you face anymore. In the future, the two of us will go our separate ways. Can you stop harassing me?¡± There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the call was hung up. Anhao was stunned. She lowered her head to look at her phone to make sure that he had really hung up. In the past few years, Rong Qian had been bickering with her. They were always evenly matched. Neither of them had been defeated or won arrogantly. This was the first time she had seen him hang up the phone after being mocked by her. Could it be that she had said something too overboard? Thinking about it carefully, it was true that he had been pestering her and harassing her. She did not have a good impression of the Rong family. Even if she did not want to think about what had happened back then, and she did not see Rong Qian as Rong Xue¡¯s brother, she wanted to tear him apart the moment she saw him. She could not help but want to scold him. After all, he was one of the people who had harmed her to that extent back then. Forget it. Anyway, he didn¡¯t plan to contact her again after returning to the country. If his words were really too harsh, he would just let it be. It would be best if she completely cut off all contact with him. It would be best if he deleted all of her phone numbers and contact methods. It would be best if he never appeared in front of her again. She was too lazy to serve a rich young master who had a glib tongue and once cheated her. Anhao threw her phone aside and turned it off. She lay down and covered her head with the blanket to continue sleeping. She slept until almost noon. She opened her eyes and looked at the time, but she still had no intention of getting up. She turned around and looked at the sky outside the window. It was raining outside. No wonder the house looked so dark even though it was almost noon. Rong Qian had said that the weather was fine and that the plane would not be delayed. He did not know how long the rain had started. He was probably stuck at the Shanghai airport and could not come over. The weather was dark and rainy, and it was the weekend. It was the best weather for sleeping. She was about to continue sleeping when suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She was so shocked that she sat up and looked outside in surprise. Why was there someone knocking on the door? Only Zi Ran knew that she lived in this place. Who would knock on the door? Was it the property management? Or who? Could it be that Zuo Hancheng suddenly wanted to change his house and came here? However, he realized that there seemed to be someone living inside, so he knocked on the door from outside? However, this impatient knocking sound was definitely not in line with Zuo Hanchengs habits. Anhao sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time before she quickly sat up and ran out. When she heard the knocking sound, she felt as if she was about to smash the door. She had a hunch that she had encountered a burglar. Also, this person actually entered without pressing the access number downstairs and found this floor directly. Who was it? Anhao walked to the door with a nervous heart. She listened to the commotion outside and hesitated for a long time without saying a word. She only heard the familiar door being knocked on and trembling. Moreover, the frequency of knocking was very fast, and it felt especially arrogant. ¡°Gu Anhao, don¡¯t pretend to be dead. Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t find you just because you turned off your phone. I¡¯m drenched in the rain, and my body is wet and sticky. It¡¯s so uncomfortable!¡± Rong Qian¡¯s voice suddenly came from outside. Anhao¡¯s heart dropped when she heard that voice, but the hair on her body instantly stood up! Rong Qian had already arrived in City A? How did he know that she lived here? She stood stiffly at the door and did not say a word. She prayed that this young master would leave because he could not get through to her phone and could not hear her voice from the other end. However, things were beyond her expectations. After all, Hua Ting Private Park was not an ordinary place. The property management and security personnel noticed the abnormality on this floor and had already rushed up in time. They were outside the door asking Rong Qian why he was here. Rong Qian impatiently handed over his American citizenship documents and a series of documents to prove his identity. He then said that he knew the owner of the house, Gu Anhao. After that, he simply said that Gu Anhao owed him a few million yuan and had not returned it, so he was here to collect the debt. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. Damn it, you¡¯re ruthless! However, Anhao¡¯s phone call didn¡¯t go through. In the end, she said,¡±¡±How about this? If Mr. Rong is really in a hurry to find Miss Gu, I¡¯ll contact the other people who are in charge of this house and see if they can find Miss Gu through them. However, Mr. Rong, you can¡¯t keep knocking on the door like this. Although the family opposite hasn¡¯t officially moved in yet, it will cause noise disturbance to the residents on the other floors. After all, the sound of your knocking is too loud. Just now, we received complaints from other residents, so we rushed over to take a look. So, Mr. Rong, please wait a moment. We¡¯ll contact the other people in this house¡­¡± Anhao was about to explode inside the door. She hurriedly went forward to open the door. If the property management contacted Zuo Hanchengs people, the fact that she lived here would be revealed to the world, and Zuo Hancheng would know that she lived here too! She would rather receive this troublesome young master than let Zuo Hancheng find out that she was staying here! Chapter 518 - Chapter 518: I Like You (2) Chapter 518: I Like You (2) Translator: 549690339 The door was suddenly opened, and Rong Qian, who was outside the door, turned his head and glanced at Anhao. ¡°Isn¡¯t there someone inside? Why didn¡¯t your friend come to open the door after knocking for so long?¡±When the property manager saw Anhao walking out with a pale expression, he couldn¡¯t help but there anything you need our help with?¡± ¡°l was writing something inside just now. 1 was wearing noise-canceling headphones in the study on the upper floor, so I didn¡¯t hear the knock on the door.¡±After explaining, Anhao secretly glared at Rong Qian, then smiled and said,¡±¡±l worked overtime until very late last night. I stayed up too late and haven¡¯t washed my face yet, so I don¡¯t look too good.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. If Miss Gu needs anything, you can contact us at any time.¡± Anhao nodded at the property manager, then glanced at Rong Qian and said to the property manager,¡±¡±The security facilities of Luxury Terrace Private Park have always been very late at night. Why didn¡¯t you even sound the alarm or stop a stranger from barging in?¡± Hearing the word ¡®stranger¡¯, Rong Qian¡¯s face turned even colder.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really good at lying through your teeth!¡± The property manager was a little stunned.¡± When this gentleman came in, he seemed to have called his other friends who live here. His friends asked us to let him in, but we didn¡¯t expect him to turn into this building. Miss Gu, now that you mention it, we just remembered¡­¡± Then, the property manager looked at Rong Qian, who looked indifferent, with a serious expression.¡±Sir, the person you just contacted was clearly a lady from Building 6 of our Hua Ting Private Garden, but why did you come to Building 1 to knock on Miss Gu t s door?¡± Rong Qian sneered.¡± That lady is a distant aunt of mine. If she wants to come in, she can just call someone she knows here to get a pass. This kind of thing can be known by just thinking about it. Why are you asking when you already know the answer?¡± What a waste of breath.¡¯ Rong Qian rolled his eyes at them and said coldly, ¡°¡±I¡¯ll go to my aunt¡¯s place later, but this Miss Gu owes me a few million dollars, so I¡¯m here to ask her for money. The property manager looked at Anhao in confusion.¡±¡± Well, Miss Gu, we¡¯re very sorry about Mr. Rong barging into your house. We¡¯ll definitely reflect on ourselves later, but our property management staff really can¡¯t interfere with your personal grudges. Take a look, or else¡­¡± ¡°No personal grudges.¡± ¡°1 don¡¯t know him,¡± Anhao said lightly.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know him?¡± Rong Qian suddenly curled his lips coldly and unexpectedly reached out to grab her shoulders and forcefully pressed her into his arms. Anhao was shocked, and so was the property manager. Just as Anhao was about to struggle, he said,¡±Look carefully, she¡¯s my girlfriend! Not only is she my girlfriend, but she also stole a few million from me. 1 came here to collect my debt, but she doesn¡¯t admit it. Is there still justice? Hmm?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you!¡± Anhao tried to shake him off, but Rong Qian lowered his head and threatened Anhao in a low voice under the confused expressions of the property management staff opposite him,¡±¡±lf you dare to say that you don¡¯t know me again, I¡¯ll go to Shengling Group later and tell Zuo Hancheng that you live here.¡± His voice was very low, and it was as if he was deliberately leaning close to her ear. Anhao¡¯s sudden stiffened movement made the few property management staff even more confused. Anhao took a deep breath, raised her hand and pushed him. Rong Qian did not force himself to hug her this time. He took a step back with her strength, but he smiled a little proudly. ¡°Forget it. There is indeed some conflict between me and him. I didn¡¯t want to see him at first, but since he is already here, come in.¡±Anhao said with an ugly expression and looked at the property manager.¡±Sorry for the trouble.¡± The property management staff saw that she had changed too much. After all, the people living in this community were all upper-class people, and any earth- shattering event could happen. Although the kidnapping incident had never happened because of the perfect security facilities in the community, it was still very common in their eyes, so they asked Gu, are you really alright? Do you really know him?¡± Anhao could tell that the property management staff was concerned about her. She smiled and said. ¡°¡±It¡¯s fine, thank you. If there¡¯s anything I need help with later, I¡¯ll call the security room.¡± ¡°Alright, Miss Gu, we¡¯re leaving. ¡°The property manager nodded politely at Gu Anhao before glancing at Rong Qian again. Although the kid looked a little domineering and threatening, he did not look like a bad person. After taking a few more glances at him to remember his appearance, he turned around and entered the elevator. Anhao walked in at the same time. Rong Qian lifted his hand to open the door before she closed it. After glancing at the environment in the room, he sneered, ¡°¡®After returning to the country, she moved to Zuo Hanchengs place. Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really sentimental!¡± Anhao could hear the sarcasm in his words, but she didn¡¯t explain. She tidied up the clothes on the sofa without turning her head and said,¡±¡±How did you know I lived here? How do you know whose house this is?¡± After Anhao finished speaking, although she was reluctant, she did not want Rong Qian to stand at the door all the time. If the movers next door saw her with the door open, they would think that something had happened here. Hence, she tidied up the sofa and said,¡±Come and sit. You can only move around the sofa. You¡¯re not allowed to touch anything else.¡± With that, she turned around and sent the clothes into the bathroom. When she came out, she saw that Rong Qian had already sat on the sofa and casually threw a small travel bag at the corner of the sofa. It was as if he had returned to his own home and was sitting comfortably on the sofa. Anhao looked at him with an unpleasant expression, as if he had really just caught a plane and arrived here directly.¡±¡±How did you know that 1 lived here?¡± Rong Qian snorted and laughed.¡± ¡°Guess your sister.¡± Anhao had tried her best to get rid of her foul mouth image in the United States, but she still couldn¡¯t help but swear in front of Rong Qian.¡±¡±You came to City A for no reason and asked me to pick you up for no reason. I didn¡¯t pick you up, but you shamelessly came here yourself! How dare you threaten me! Rong Qian, where is your face? Did you throw it into the Pacific Ocean on the plane?¡± Rong Qian just smiled and curled his lips,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t even pour me a glass of water. Gu Anhao, is this how you treat your guests?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and turned to pour him a glass of water. ¡°¡±Then, there¡¯s no need to even give someone like you a drink.. Just drink some water!¡± Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: I Like You (3) Chapter 519: I Like You (3) Translator: 549690339 Looking at the glass of water on the coffee table that had almost been thrown on the floor, he was instantly amused. ¡°That¡¯s fine too. It just so happens that it¡¯s getting hot outside.¡±As he spoke, he picked up the cup and took a sip. After drinking the entire cup, he continued to lean back and directly collapsed on the sofa.¡±Tell me, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to turn around and come over to see you. In the end, you didn¡¯t even want to go. How do you want me to punish you?¡± ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Anhao expressionlessly turned around and opened the curtains, making the room look much brighter. At the same time, she turned around and poured herself a glass of water. She was so frightened that she suddenly got out of bed. Her hair was not combed, her face was not washed, she did not drink water, and she had to serve the young master in front of her first. She was really convinced of her current endurance. If it was in the past, he would definitely kick him down from this floor and smash him into a meat pie. It wasn¡¯t that Rong Qian didn¡¯t see Anhao¡¯s reluctant look, but he still smiled as if he was deliberately throwing up on her.¡±¡±You don¡¯t like to see me that much?¡± ¡°Of course. Three years ago, when you appeared in front of me, you already had bad intentions. After that, every time I saw you in America, I wanted to beat you up.¡±Anhao took the glass of water and sat on the sofa opposite him. She said impatiently,¡±¡±Why are you looking for me? Don¡¯t tell me you came to see me on purpose. 1 can¡¯t afford such treatment.¡± Rong Qian looked at her drinking and smiled, but he did not say anything. Anhao looked at him as she drank. Seeing him staring at her, she immediately put down her cup.¡±Why are you looking at me like that?¡± ¡°Continue drinking. It looks good.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao suddenly placed the cup on the coffee table.¡± Change state! What¡¯s so good about drinking water! Anhao really did not want to stay in the same room with him, so she decided to stand up, but before she did, she heard Rong Qian original plan was to come directly to City A, but the Rong familys key company in China is in Shanghai. In other words, 1 might have to spend more time in Shanghai in the next few months. I have to settle the project there before I can come to City A, so 1 specially came to see you.¡± Anhao paused for a moment and looked at him strangely.¡±¡± Did you come to see me?¡± Rong Qian raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa with a smile. He naturally looked like he liked this kind of sitting wrong? Are you surprised?¡± ¡°Haha.¡± Anhao snorted coldly. ¡°¡±I¡¯m not surprised. From the first day I met you, I knew that you¡¯re not a person who plays by the rules. It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know that your Rong Corporation has also wanted to enter the construction industry in the past few years. The first development goal of expanding your business in China is the real estate and construction industry. After all, if you want to gain a foothold in China first, the real estate industry is indeed the most suitable way to make quick money in recent years. When you were in America, you liked the design drawings I made. You want me to help out at your company, right?¡± ¡® Don¡¯t worry,¡± Anhao chided.¡± Your uncle was my talent when I was in America. I¡¯m glad to have your uncle¡¯s favor. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be where I am today.¡± But after I leave America, I will never get too close to any company related to you, lest my colleagues suspect that I got in through the back door.¡± ¡°l really don¡¯t have such plans.¡± Rong Qian laughed coldly.¡± Gu Anhao, don¡¯t be so smug. You just studied architectural design in America for a few years and have some talent. My uncle took a fancy to your drawings. You¡¯re just too arrogant. You think you¡¯re so arrogant after learning for a few years.¡±¡± ¡°Since you didn¡¯t ask me to help your company in China, why did you come looking for me?¡±Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with him about whether or not she was really insufferably arrogant. She only had the rare patience to talk to him.¡±Don¡¯t say that you miss me.¡± ¡°It really is!¡± Rong Qian suddenly smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.¡±Good sister, I miss you so much!¡± As he spoke, he suddenly stood up slightly, clapped his hands, and opened his arms again, as if he was about to get up and pounce on her to hug her. Just as he was about to pounce on An Hao, he suddenly turned around and ran to the sofa. When he turned around, he saw that Rong Qian had fallen onto the sofa. However, he naturally took the pillow from the sofa and lay down comfortably on the sofa. Hey, this is the house of the Entrapment. Can you not lie down like you¡¯re at home? You¡¯re a man who was born and raised in a western country. You should at least have some sense of a gentleman, don¡¯t you think?¡± ¡°Am 1 not gentlemanly enough?¡± Rong Qian snorted.¡± If I wasn¡¯t a gentleman, you would have been my woman long ago. I wouldn¡¯t have waited until today to come here just to see you. I¡¯m as tired as a dead dog.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She agreed with him when she said that he looked like a dead dog lying on the sofa. But what did he mean by she was already his woman? She glanced at him as if he was a lunatic.¡±Did your sister have something to do and send you here to disgust me? I can¡¯t stay here anymore?¡± Rong Qian lay still and his eyes were closed, but it did not affect his speech, but his voice was much lazier.¡±Don¡¯t drag my sister into everything. She has long cut ties with the Rong family.¡± ¡°Then why did you help her trick me back then?¡± Rong Qian suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, didn¡¯t you not plan to mention what happened three years ago? What was the point of mentioning it again?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Ann laughed.¡± You¡¯re really convincing when you¡¯re unreasonable. You know how many heartless things you¡¯ve done back then, but now you¡¯re still afraid of others mentioning it!¡± ¡°What heartless?¡± Rong Qian¡¯s face turned ugly.¡± Did I rob your house or burn your fields?¡± Did I force you to have a miscarriage, or did the end between you and Zuo Hancheng come because of me? 1 just made a few jokes, but in the end, it didn¡¯t hurt you at all. In the end, I wasn¡¯t the one who caused you to divorce and go abroad. In the end, you didn¡¯t mention anything about what happened back then for three years and only vented your anger on me.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. It was rare to see Young Master Rong complain so much. She snorted and laughed.¡±Anyway, it can¡¯t get away from you. Accomplices are also fierce. You¡¯ve long been blacklisted by me, so you asked for it when I treated you badly.¡± Rong Qian immediately picked up the cup of water on the coffee table and wanted to take a sip to calm his anger. Anhao rushed forward to snatch it when she saw it.¡±This is what I¡¯ve used before.. Don¡¯t drink it!¡± Chapter 520 - Chapter 520: I Like You (4) Chapter 520: I Like You (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°This is what I¡¯ve used before. Don¡¯t drink it!¡± As soon as Anhao rushed over, she grabbed the cup. However, she failed to snatch it away. Rong Qian grabbed her wrist and pulled her over when she was completely unprepared. Anhao quickly straightened her body to avoid falling into his arms, but due to inertia and momentum, she fell onto the sofa. ¡°Alright.¡± Rong Qian wasn¡¯t unhappy because she dodged. Instead, he saw Anhao¡¯s uncombed hair fly up a little when she fell onto the sofa. Finally, it was scattered around her snow-white neck. His eyes darkened and he pressed her down the moment she was about to get up. At the same time, when Anhao glared at him, he raised his hand and firmly held her wrist that was about to resist. He leaned closer to her face. Anhao¡¯s heart was alarmed. She turned her head to avoid his approach, but Rong Qian remained in the position of leaning close to her ear. When he saw her exposed white neck and ears when she turned her head, his eyes darkened.¡±Gu Anhao, you really can¡¯t tell that I¡¯m interested in you?¡± Anhao paused and suddenly turned her eyes, but she carefully avoided his approach. She stared into his eyes for a long time before she frowned.¡±What kind of joke is this?¡± ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡± Rong Qian raised his eyebrows.¡± Anhao pouted and raised her hand to push him away, but her body was pressed against the sofa and her hands were tightly held by him. She knew that Rong Qian was actually quite skilled in Taekwondo class in A High School, but now he was holding her back. She immediately flung him impatiently.¡±¡±Let go!¡¯ ¡°If you haven¡¯t been able to tell that I¡¯m interested in you, then I can tell you clearly now, Gu Anhao, l¡­Uh¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he groaned in pain when she suddenly bent her leg and hit him hard in the lower part of his body. Anhao took the opportunity to push him away and stood up to the opposite side of the sofa. At the same time, she picked up the glass of water that she had used on the table and turned around to see Rong Qian hunched over on the sofa in pain.¡±l really didn¡¯t know that you had such a strong taste. Let¡¯s not talk about me being married first. Just the fact that I¡¯m your sister¡¯s love rival makes you not interested in me, There should be a limit to your jokes, okay? Don¡¯t think that just because you came to A City, I think you¡¯re really interested in me! I don¡¯t buy it!! Rong Qian first fell on the sofa and covered his crotch that she had just bumped into. Anhao saw that he did not move for a long time, so she ignored him and turned around to send the glass back to the kitchen sink. After standing in silence for a while, she felt that she should ask him to leave. Letting him in was really not a good choice. When she walked out of the kitchen, she saw that Rong Qian had changed his position. He was lying on the sofa with an ugly expression. He looked very uncomfortable. His frown did not look good. Anhao hesitated for a moment before walking over.¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Rong Qian did not even open his eyes as he replied in a lukewarm voice. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She didn¡¯t have a man¡¯s thing, so how would she know how painful it would be? But Rong Qian seemed to be in a really bad state. Anhao had no choice but to walk over.¡¯ She didn¡¯t know if a man¡¯s place would break if it hurt too much, or if he needed to go to the bathroom. In Anhao¡¯s impression, there were many women in China now. Perhaps it was because that place was too fragile. After waiting for a while, seeing that Rong Qian didn¡¯t reply and didn¡¯t make a sound, Anhao had no choice but to approach him and touch his don¡¯t I send you to the hospital to have a look¡­¡± She also knew how ruthless she was just now. She reckoned that she had really caused a problem. As soon as his hand touched the bottom of the bed, Rong Qian suddenly threw the pillow to the side and grabbed Anhao¡¯s wrist to pull her into his arms. Anhao was not prepared in time this time. She sat on his lap and tried to get up, but Rong Qian hugged her and pushed her back onto the sofa. This time, she didn¡¯t give her a chance to use her knees to resist. She lowered her head and leaned closer to her face. Anhao quickly turned her head.¡±Rong Qian, don¡¯t do anything rash! Let go!¡¯ ¡°I¡¯m asking you, how long are you going to play dumb? Gu Anhao, I¡¯m interested in you, I like you! We¡¯re both unmarried. Even if you were married before, weren¡¯t you divorced? How am 1 hardcore?¡± As he spoke, he pressed down, his breath blowing into her ear.¡±Gu Anhao, I¡¯ve heard you clearly. I like you, and 1 want you to be my woman. Is that clear? Do you understand?¡± ¡°Understand your sister!¡± Anhao struggled to lift her hands and break free from his body, but Rong Qian lowered his head and leaned in close to her face.¡±¡±lf you move again, do you believe that 1 will kiss you?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao instantly stopped moving. She was really unprepared just now. Otherwise, this kid might not have been able to suppress her. This time, she could not raise her leg to resist. She frowned and her eyes were filled with displeasure.[Can¡¯t you stop acting crazy here?]¡± ¡°Are you crazy because I like you?¡± Rong Qian glared at her, not giving her any room to retreat. ¡°Nonsense! What do you like about me? Do you like that I¡¯m your sister¡¯s love rival or that I¡¯m married? Or do you like me? I have no status, no background, and I have to go abroad to study, and I have to bear the debt of tuition fees! I still have to return the tuition fees for the past three years and the expenses for going abroad. What¡¯s so good about a person like me who will only drag others down? What do you like?¡± Rong Qian narrowed his eyes when he saw her resist like a cat with its paws out. He suddenly bent down and wanted to kiss her. Anhao hurriedly straightened her body and tried to separate his face from hers, but he pressed her down with all his might and tried to kiss her regardless of her struggle. In the end, Anhao successfully turned her head away. Rong Qian¡¯s cold kiss landed on her cheek, but it still gave her goosebumps all over. ¡°Bastard! Let go of me!¡± Anhao gritted her teeth, but when she saw Rong Qian¡¯s expression, she was so angry that she wanted to tear him apart.¡±Let Seeing that she was really provoked, Rong Qian did not want to be completely banned by her for the time being. He let go of her before she was about to explode. The moment he stood up, he was on guard against her counterattack. He took two steps back and raised his hands to make a surrender gesture. Anhao was about to go up and hit him, but when she saw him raise his hand, she immediately glared at him with a pale face.¡±¡±What the hell do you mean?!¡± ¡°l can¡¯t help it.¡± He raised his hands slightly and smiled at her. ¡®iWho asked you to be so fair?¡± ¡°F * ck! White your sister!¡± All the qualities and self-restraint that Anhao had learned over the past three years to not swear were completely exhausted on this day.. Chapter 521 - Chapter 521: I Like You (5) Chapter 521: I Like You (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°l don¡¯t have a sister, I only have you.¡± Seeing his cheeky and shameless smile, Anhao rolled her eyes and turned to open the door.¡±¡±Hurry up and leave. I can¡¯t tolerate you here. Hurry up and leave. Don¡¯t let me see you again!¡± Rong Qian had one hand in his pocket and saw her flustered look.¡±¡±Other women can¡¯t wait to have as many men around them who admire her. Even if this woman doesn¡¯t necessarily like them all, she won¡¯t reject the love of others. Why are you so different?¡± Anhao laughed.¡± That¡¯s right. I¡¯m innocent, harmless, kind, and simple. I¡¯m completely different from those flirtatious b * tches out there. Don¡¯t tell me you like me because you like this about me?¡± This is the setting in those CEO novels I read when I was young, okay? I¡¯m not Cinderella who can make you see that I¡¯m different from others at a glance, and you¡¯re not a cool CEO. Why are you pretending to be artistic here? Hurry up and get lost!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never said that you¡¯re the kind of young and harmless little white flower that¡¯s made of noodles in clear soup.¡±Rong Qian didn¡¯t move. He still had one hand in his pocket. He stood behind the sofa and looked at Anhao, who was standing in front of the door with an ugly expression.¡±l just happen to like spicy food.¡± ¡°l don¡¯t like it!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and continued standing in front of the door.¡±Hurry up and get lost from my place! Don¡¯t let me see you again!¡¯ ¡°Gu Anhao, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to rush over from Shanghai. I¡¯m going back on the plane tonight. I¡¯ve been on the plane the entire day. Can¡¯t you let me rest for a few hours in between? Do you think I¡¯ll be idle here for a while?¡± Anhao looked at him coldly without saying anything. Rong Qian was obviously unwilling to leave. He sat back on the sofa.¡±Ever since I took over the Rong Corporation, I really haven¡¯t been as free as before. I took the opportunity to leave my father¡¯s sight and take a day to visit you. 1 don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be back in City A again.¡± Hearing this, Anhao¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change much, but her intention to expel him wasn¡¯t that obvious anymore. Since he did not have time to come to her after leaving tonight, then no matter what he said in front of her today, he could temporarily ignore it. Anyway, he would be a busy man in the future and would not have time to come to her and annoy her. ¡°What time is the flight at night?¡± Anhao asked. ¡°5:30 in the afternoon.¡± Anhao looked at the time. It was almost noon. If she were to take off at 5:30 pm and return to Shanghai, she would have to rush to the airport at 4 pm at the latest. During this period of time, he had spent more than five hours with her. Could it be that he wanted to stay with her all the time? ¡°It¡¯s almost noon. If you haven¡¯t eaten yet, I¡¯ll buy you something downstairs.¡±Anhao stood at the door and said. Rong Qian still did not move. He patted the sofa with one hand. He looked down on the restaurant downstairs. ¡°l heard from your American roommates that your cooking skills are not bad, especially the pork rib soup. Anyway, there are still a few hours left. I want to try your cooking skills.¡± ¡°My cooking isn¡¯t something that can be casually tasted by others. Coincidentally, I accidentally spilled the salt at home two days ago. The other seasonings aren¡¯t complete, and the ribs are useless. Why go through so much trouble just to make rib soup? There are a few restaurants downstairs that serve good dishes. They should suit your taste. If you want to eat spicy food, there is a new Sichuan hotpot restaurant that suits you.¡± Rong Qian could tell that she did not intend to cook for him personally, so he did not insist on eating all the pork rib soup. He stood up, straightened his casual jacket, and turned to look at Anhao. Seeing that she had been standing at the door, he walked over. When he reached her side, Anhao immediately took a step back with a guarded look. Rong Qian snorted and laughed.¡± Sooner or later, I¡¯ll eat it. I¡¯ll wait for you to make soup for me willingly.¡±¡® Anhao really didn¡¯t want to tell him. If she hadn¡¯t missed the taste of Chinese food so much back in America, she wouldn¡¯t have forced herself to cook so well. Now that she was back in the country, she ate takeout more often than she cooked. Besides, he was alone, so it wasn¡¯t worth it for her to wash her hands and make Geng soup. She only glanced outside.¡± Wait for me outside. I¡¯ll come out to treat you to a meal after I wash my face and change my clothes.¡±¡± Rong Qian glanced at her.¡± Go back to the bedroom and change. I¡¯ll wait in the living room. I can¡¯t see anything through the door.¡±¡± ¡°Get out.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t give him any room to bargain and reached out to push him. Rong Qian didn¡¯t force her to stay at the door. He saw that she insisted on drawing a clear line with him. He was already used to her temper and walked out with a smile. Anhao closed the door with a bang and locked it from the inside. After making sure that Rong Qian would not barge in, she rushed into the bathroom to wash up. She was very fast. It was less than 15 minutes after she finished packing and opened the door. The moment she opened the door, Rong Qian looked back at her and immediately smiled. Anhao, on the other hand, was still unhappy. She walked out of the door and closed it behind her before walking to the elevator.¡±What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°You decide.¡¯ ¡°Then let¡¯s eat Sichuan cuisine. You said you like spicy food anyway.¡± ¡°As you wish. I prefer a little pepper like you.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± Anhao gave him a cold smile and walked in when the elevator stopped at this floor. When Rong Qian walked in, he looked at her face, which had always been unhappy.¡±The time you take to wash up and change your clothes is really fast. In my impression, women who want to go out might not even be able to come out after cleaning up for an hour.¡± As he said that, he suddenly lowered his head and leaned closer to Anhao¡¯s face, saying meaningfully,¡±Let me check. Did you not brush your teeth properly? Let me see if it¡¯s clean¡­¡± Ann glanced at him as if he was a lunatic. She didn¡¯t cooperate at all and only asked,¡±lt seems that you usually go out with women. With your family background, girls should have asked you out often since you were young, right?¡± ¡°Why? Are you jealous?¡± Rong Qian suddenly smiled like a flower. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Rong Qian continued to laugh.¡± I dated a few women when 1 was sixteen. When 1 was twenty, my father sent me to China. In the next three years, I promised that there would be no other woman besides you!! ¡°l didn¡¯t ask you if you have a woman by your side. Why are you explaining this to me?¡±Anhao took a step back.¡± ¡°Tsk, I was just checking to see if you cleaned up so quickly and brushed your teeth properly. Open your mouth and let me take a look¡­¡± As Rong Qian spoke, he reached out to lift her chin. His lecherous look made Anhao raise her hand to slap him away, but Rong Qian took the opportunity to lower his head and kiss her. The moment Anhao turned her head, the elevator door suddenly opened.. Chapter 522 - Chapter 522: He Heard It (1) Chapter 522: He Heard It (1) Translator: 549690339 When he heard the elevator door open, Rong Qian didn¡¯t have any intention of stepping back. Instead, he wanted to push Anhao into the elevator and kiss her. Anhao quickly dodged before Rong Qian could do anything to her. The moment she walked out of the elevator, she saw a beautiful young woman in a high-end business suit standing outside. The woman seemed to be slightly embarrassed by the scene. However, this woman seemed to be very cultured, and she seemed to be on the phone with someone. Her gaze only stopped on Anhao and Rong Qian for a moment before she continued to talk to the person on the other end of the phone. ¡°Gu Anhao, you already let me kiss you in the room just now. Why are you still running away? You¡¯re obviously interested in me too. Otherwise, why would you suddenly give up chasing me away and decide to come down and eat with me?¡±Rong Qian walked out of the elevator and chased after Anhao, shouting as he walked. Anhao was really annoyed by his shamelessness. She turned around and scolded,¡±Are you out of your mind? When have I ever let you kiss me? I didn¡¯t dodge it at my place just now, okay?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not a weak little white flower. If you don¡¯t like me, why can¡¯t you push me away? If you¡¯re also interested in me, just say it. Don¡¯t hide it there. It¡¯s so boring¡­¡± ¡°Even if I like a pig, I won¡¯t like you!¡¯ ¡°Tsk tsk, you just said that I have a strong taste. Your taste isn¡¯t light either. You actually like pigs! Isn¡¯t it better to f * Ck me than a pig? Do you want to try?¡± Anhao was speechless. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to deal with him and walked out quickly. The young woman who was standing outside the elevator and making a phone call did not enter the elevator to avoid the bad signal. However, as she was making a phone call, she heard the voices of the two people behind her. In the end, she said helplessly,¡±Han Cheng, wait for me to return before I send you the things. It¡¯s too noisy here and it¡¯s inconvenient to talk.¡± Rong Qian was about to walk out when he suddenly stopped. He turned his head and glanced at the young woman from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he had not hung up the phone, he suddenly looked at Anhao who had already walked away. Anhao walked outside and hoped that time would pass quickly. She had only been working for two days and was already very busy. It was not easy to have a two-day holiday, but Rong Qian ruined the first day. She hoped that after today, she could have a quiet rest tomorrow. Not long after, Rong Qian had already chased after her. She didn¡¯t know why he suddenly smiled like he had eaten candy, and from time to time, he would put his arm around her shoulder. Anhao shook him off again and again.¡±Take your stinky hands off me!¡± ¡°Good sister, are you sure you like pigs?¡± Anhao ignored him and was too lazy to answer his teasing. She walked into the Sichuan hotpot restaurant in front of her and found a seat. She asked Rong Qian to order something and only asked for a cup of lemon red tea. However, Rong Qian didn¡¯t know what was wrong with him. After ordering some meat and vegetable dishes in the hotpot and sending the waiter away, he kept staring at her as if he had succeeded in something. Anhao frowned, feeling uncomfortable under his stare. She looked up and said,¡±¡±Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°Have you seen Zuo Hancheng since you came back? ¡°he asked meaningfully. Anhao¡¯s expression did not change. Her voice was calm.¡±What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°Of course it has to do with me. Whether my future girlfriend has broken up with her ex-husband is important news to me.¡± Anhao ignored him and lowered her head to continue looking at the discount advertisement of the hotpot restaurant on the table to pass the time. Seeing her lukewarm attitude, and her even colder attitude at the mention of Zuo Hancheng, Rong Qian did not get an answer, but he probably knew something, so he did not ask further. After a while, it was Anhao who asked him. ¡°How exactly did you know that I lived here? How did he know that the apartment in Luxury Court was his?¡± Rong Qian looked at her while he was cooking the meat in the hotpot. ¡°¡±Didn¡¯t I ask you to guess that it¡¯s a conclusion?¡± Anhao frowned impatiently.¡± Did you arrange someone to be by my side after I returned to the country?¡± Or did you secretly investigate me?¡± Rong Qian placed the cooked meat in the bowl in front of her and poured the sauce for her. He did not answer her and only said,¡±Eat this. There¡¯s no chili. You should eat less spicy food so that you don¡¯t get pimples on your face.¡± Anhao ignored the food in front of her and looked at him.¡±¡±Rong Qian, I¡¯m warning you, we¡¯re never going to get along. You may be interested in me or you may be teasing me, but you can¡¯t investigate me in the dark or send people to follow me.¡± Rong Qian raised his eyebrows.¡± Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not that despicable. 1 didn¡¯t send anyone to follow you. It¡¯s just that after you returned to China, I was worried about your safety and your living environment after you came back, so I sent someone to investigate. I found out that you lived in Hua Ting Private Park and found it strange. I also checked the background of this house. That¡¯s all. Knowing that he didn¡¯t intentionally send someone to investigate everything about her, Anhao¡¯s expression became much better. ¡°¡±Don¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°l already know where you live and where you work. Why should I investigate? Unless you suddenly disappeared, this kind of thing would not happen again.¡± Anhao put down the discount flyer and picked up her chopsticks. After taking a bite, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t expect me to send you to the airport tonight. I¡¯m so sleepy that I need to go home and catch up on sleep.¡± Rong Qian raised his eyebrows indifferently and changed the topic. ¡°Although a place like the Imperial Court is not bad, it is obviously not suitable for you. Anyone who finds out that you¡¯re living here will feel that there¡¯s something wrong. Zuo Hancheng will find out sooner or later. Since you don¡¯t want him to know so much, you might as well move to another place to live.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already tried my best not to let too many people know, except for people like you who are investigating me behind my back. ¡°She rolled her eyes at him. ¡°I¡¯ll find you a house nearby and transfer it directly to your name. You can decorate it however you like, completely according to the style you like. You don¡¯t have to worry about being discovered one day.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I have nothing to do with you. I don¡¯t need you to be my mistress.¡±Anhao said as she wiped her mouth. The hotpot here was just average and tasteless. However, it was probably because the person sitting in front of her made her unable to eat. Rong Qian seemed to be enjoying it. ¡°Giving you a house is considered a mistress? Then what about the place where you live in Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°When you were investigating, didn¡¯t you know that Grandview Private Park was actually under my name? However, before I left the country, I wanted to transfer the house back to Zuo Hanchengs name, but he didn¡¯t take it back, so this house is mine. I¡¯m not borrowing it..¡± Chapter 523 - Chapter 523: He Heard It (2) Chapter 523: He Heard It (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s yours or not. What¡¯s important is whether you want Zuo Hancheng to find out that you¡¯re living here.¡± Hearing this, Anhao did not say anything. She looked at the time and threw her chopsticks down.¡±Are you full? Hurry up and leave! I don¡¯t have that much time to accompany you!¡¯ Rong Qian stared at her.¡± ¡°Then hurry up and eat!¡± Anhao picked up the pre-meal fruit on the table and took a few bites. She had considered moving to another place. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t have money on hand now. A hundred thousand yuan in savings was enough for her to rent a good place near Zheng F. After that, there was still the remaining payment. After that, because she had worked in the Ministry of Construction of the government and had these qualifications, she could find a better job. Therefore, she did not have to worry about money in the future. However, it was not easy to move. She finally bought a bunch of daily necessities and clothes from the nearby supermarket. If she wanted to move, she would not be able to carry only one or two suitcases like on the first day. She would have to at least hire a truck to help her move. It would take at least a day. How could she have the time now? But then again, the time she was with Rong Qian now was the perfect time to move. Thinking of this, Anhao was even more unwilling to accompany him. She reluctantly waited for Rong Qian to put down his chopsticks before she stood up and left. After she paid the waiter, she turned around and saw that Rong Qian was really sitting there calmly waiting for her to treat him. He had no intention of rushing over to pay the bill. For a person like him, telling others that he was the CEO of a multi-national corporation would probably not be believed. It was really too lacking in character. Anhao took the change from the waiter and turned to leave. When Rong Qian followed her out, she looked around and said,¡±¡±Do you plan to find a hotel to rest for a few hours, then take a taxi to the airport at 4 pm, or do you want to cross the road?¡± Before Rong Qian could speak, Anhao raised her hand.¡±Let me make this clear first. No matter which one you choose, I will definitely not accompany you. I want to go back and rest. I still have to rush the design drafts tomorrow.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you on weekends? Why do you still have to rush the design drafts?¡± Rong Qian wanted to ask her to accompany her to the hotel and sleep together, but after hearing her words, he changed his tone and stopped being so indecent when he stood by the roadside. ¡°l have nothing to do on the weekends anyway. I can just take some pocket money from other companies and earn a few thousand yuan a month.¡±Anhao said it openly, not afraid that he would tell her current leader. Rong Qian snorted.¡± Those who don¡¯t know would think that you¡¯re short of money. In fact, you¡¯re quite good at making money. I heard that you used to work in a bar. The sales volume of your wine was the first in that bar. You¡¯re really good at making money!¡¯ Anhao raised her eyebrows disapprovingly. ¡°That¡¯s a living place. I was forced to.¡± ¡°Are you still forced by life?¡± Rong Qian smiled faintly and reached out to hug her. Anhao was on guard this time. She quickly dodged but did not answer. She had yet to settle the matter of her mother, An Ping. She had been back in A City for so many days and had yet to find the time to investigate. Where did she have the time to think about anything else? Even if she wasn¡¯t short of money now, and it wasn¡¯t because she was forced by life, she still needed a large sum of money. At the very least, she had to ensure that she had money to bribe in all aspects during the investigation. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to walk on a road without money in this world. Moreover, it was a secret that spanned two countries or even a certain family. What use would a mere 100,000 yuan in her hands be? There was no need to tell Rong Qian about this. In her world, Rong Qian was always an outsider. He was not even a friend. Anhao crossed the road and turned around to see Rong Qian standing on the other side of the road. He was staring at her from across the road, thinking about something. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Anhao looked at him in confusion. Do you want to take a taxi to the airport directly?¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t say anything. She didn¡¯t know what he was thinking just now, but now he walked over and asked her,¡±¡±You really don¡¯t need me to help you find another place to stay?¡± ¡°No need. Even if I really need to change places, I don¡¯t need your help. I don¡¯t want to repeat myself.¡±As Anhao spoke, she took out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed one to her.¡±¡±Wipe your clothes. When we were eating hotpot just now, I threw the sauce on you. Didn¡¯t you notice?¡± Rong Qan took it but did not wipe it. He only said,¡±¡±l know.¡± He suddenly raised his hand to wipe Anhao¡¯s sweat. When Anhao saw his action, she quickly took two steps back. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Rong Qian didn¡¯t explain, but suddenly changed his previous frivolous look. He looked at her small face under the clear sky, which was getting whiter and whiter under the sun, and said with a smile,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, I¡¯m serious about chasing you. Can you give me some face and not be so stiff?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± As she spoke, she took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from the sun.¡±Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s 34 degrees today. If we continue to sunbathe like this, we won¡¯t be sweating. We¡¯ll be oily from the sun!¡¯ Anhao turned around and left. Her footsteps were very fast, and she almost ran across the street to another road. Rong Qian put one hand in his pocket and looked at her for a while. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. Anyway, he had been waiting for three years, so there was no rush. However, he had to think of a way to get this little fox to leave A City as soon as possible. If she stayed in A City any longer, she would be caught by someone hiding in the dark and eaten bit by bit. On Monday, the office of the design department of the Ministry of If she wanted to move, she would not be able to carry only one or two working. When the colleagues who didn¡¯t submit to Anhao at first saw Anhao walk in after a meeting, they were still talking to others, but they instantly fell silent and didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. Regardless of whether they were convinced on the surface or not, even if they were scolding her behind her back, at least the order in the office was under control. Anhao did not force others. As long as her work efficiency was not affected, she did not care even if these people scolded her behind her back. At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Anhao was in her office looking at the revised design drawings that Zi Ran and the others had submitted. She was studying the pros and cons of the design drawings when she suddenly received a call from Minister Qin. When she saw that it was Minister Qin calling, her hair almost stood on end. They had thought that they could avoid this day by luck, but this dinner was probably unavoidable. The call went through and Minister Oin¡¯s voice came through.¡±Anhao, don¡¯t forget about the dinner tonight. Remember to pack up after work and take our car over tonight. Remember to tidy up nicely. Today, we¡¯re meeting the big shots of various businesses in the province, so don¡¯t embarrass the people of F.¡± Anhao was speechless. I know..¡± Chapter 524 - Chapter 524: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (1) Chapter 524: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (1) Translator: 549690339 City A, Emperor Garden Hotel. This was a typical hotel where important figures from the business sector often gathered. Judging from the luxurious building and the service attitude of the staff, the governor and the current mayor must have visited many times. Of course, there was no shortage of business giants here. When Anhao got out of the car with Minister Qin, a few of her colleagues from the office followed behind. Although the design drafts were to be modified according to Anhao¡¯s drafts, the other experienced colleagues were also designers that Minister Qin and Zheng F thought highly of, so they were called over to accompany Anhao to finalize the matter. However, when she saw that the people who came were all colleagues who didn¡¯t dare to refute Anhao on the surface but didn¡¯t say bad things about her in private, she knew that these people weren¡¯t here to help her at all. Instead, they were just making things worse. However, she had already been brought in by Minister Qin. She had nothing to say and followed Minister Qin in. Xiao Qiu, who had just gotten out of the morning car, saw Gu Anhao walking beside Minister Qin. She turned around and said to another female colleague behind her,¡±¡±Look at her, she¡¯s so cocky. She thinks she¡¯s so amazing that she can walk in with Minister Qin.¡± The female colleague suddenly lowered her head and whispered,¡±Do you think that Gu Anhao slept with Minister Qin, which is why she is so valued?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes lit up.¡±That must be the case. 1 was wondering why she was chosen to be the director of the design department. So there was such a show!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t hear the curses behind her. Of course, even if she did, she wouldn¡¯t explain. In the workplace, there were some things that could be explained. Even if you explained some things well, others would think that you were glib with words and would still slander you as you wished. But of course, she didn¡¯t expect others to think to this extent. She hadn¡¯t really experienced how terrifying jealousy was. When she followed Minister Qin upstairs, Minister Qin kept talking about the things to take note of and the purpose of tonight. Anhao wasn¡¯t a public relations officer sent by the government. Of course, she didn¡¯t need to drink with him. She just needed to find an opportunity to discuss the project design and other matters with President Zuo and other relevant investors. As long as she did this, the government would give her a great merit and give her more rewards after the construction was completed. In the face of all kinds of tempting rewards, well is the first time I want to get. The thought of Zuo Hancheng, who had always been so difficult to invite, coming to her place made her feel like she was stepping on a knife¡¯s edge. Every step she took was so painful that the soles of her feet hurt. The pain even reached her heart. Minister Qin pushed open the luxury box, the heart of peace was already high and hanging up, but walked in, but saw the left cold city was not, and the heart of peace was not hanging up, but the heart of peace was completely hanging up, not knowing what time it suddenly fell down and broke down. ¡°Go sit over there with your colleagues from the design department. I have something to discuss with the leaders.¡±Minister Qin glanced at the people inside after entering the room. He smiled and nodded at them. Then, he turned around and pointed in the direction of Anhao. Anhao turned around and saw another round table not far from the main Ld01e. There were four tables in this luxurious private room. One was the largest main table, and the rest were slightly smaller round tables. Of course, the colors on the tables were basically the same, so there was no obvious difference in treatment. After Anhao sat down at the round table beside her, she saw a few colleagues from the other departments of the construction department, but they were not very familiar with each other. They seemed to be from the construction department. They should also have a mission today. After all, A City was the provincial capital. It was not a small matter to renovate the gymnasium and cultural center at the same time. The leaders of the province and the city must have valued it very much. Looking at the people who came in one after another, they were all big shots in the government. They usually could not even see them if they wanted to. When Xiao Qiu and the others walked in, they wanted to greet Minister Qin, but Minister Qin ignored them and waved his hand.¡±Can¡¯t you see your department director over there? Go to Anhao¡¯s place and have a seat. What you need to do tonight, what to say and what to do, your design department¡¯s director, Gu Anhao, will tell you.¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes froze when she was sent back by Minister Qin, who didn¡¯t even look at them. She turned to look at Anhao, who was sitting at the round table. Anhao usually didn¡¯t show much expression on such occasions, but today she was a little distracted. It was not until Xiao Qiu and the others walked over that she turned her eyes abruptly. Xiao Qiu¡¯s cold gaze fell on her, and the other colleagues sat down at the round table expressionlessly. ¡°l thought you were here to eat with the leaders of the political department, but it turns out that you still have to sit separately. There are obviously people from other departments at the main table. Why can¡¯t our design department sit there? Since some of you are the boss of our department, you should at least give everyone more opportunities to interact with your superiors. You¡¯re actually sitting here alone. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to improve yourself, but why can¡¯t you think about us?¡±Xiao Qiu suddenly muttered. Anhao had been a little uneasy when she heard Qiu¡¯s words, but she calmed down suddenly. She glanced at Qiu and said calmly,¡±¡±Do you think that you can get any good position in the government just by fighting for it? The design department wasn¡¯t one of the main departments that had a direct relationship with the leaders. What right did they have to sit at the main table? Even if you really sat there, would you be able to interrupt?¡± ¡°I know,¡± Xiao Qiu sneered.¡±You¡¯re just the director of a small design department. What¡¯s there to pretend about?¡± After he finished speaking, he did not want to hear Anhao¡¯s rebuttal, so he turned around and chatted with the other female colleagues, as if he wanted to isolate Anhao completely. Anhao curled her lips slightly and gently placed the glass of drink in front of her to the side. She said lightly,¡±¡±Just being the director of the design department is enough to make you fired. If that¡¯s not enough, why don¡¯t you go sit at the main table and take the initiative to ask Minister Qin to sit there.¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face gradually stiffened. Then she whispered,¡±I¡¯m not going. Do you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± ¡°So, you think I¡¯m stupid?¡± Anhao glanced at her. You want me to stand out? Xiao Qiu, even if you¡¯re a year older than me, your IQ isn¡¯t much higher. Stop showing off your limits. I don¡¯t have a high tolerance. If you want to see my temper, I¡¯ll show you what kind of person I am right now..¡± Chapter 525 - Chapter 525: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (2) Chapter 525: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (2) Translator: 549690339 As she spoke, Anhao exerted force on the glass of water in her hand, but it seemed as if she had accidentally poured it over. The entire glass of drink splashed onto Xiao Qiu¡¯s chest. ¡°Aiya!¡± Xiao Qiu stood up abruptly. Although her scream wasn¡¯t particularly loud, some of the leaders at the main table heard it. Minister Qin turned around and saw that it was the people from the design department who had a problem. He immediately frowned. ¡°What happened?¡± Xiao Qiu glared at Anhao angrily, then turned around and complained to Minister Qin,¡±¡± Minister Qin, our director splashed her with a drink¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Minister Qin interrupted her,¡±¡±Director Gu of your design department has been sitting there quietly since he entered the door. There¡¯s no movement at all. Why are the few of you muttering and shouting after you sat down? If you don¡¯t know how to maintain silence and discipline in such an occasion, get out immediately!¡± Xiao Qiu was stunned. Her face turned pale after being scolded in front of the leaders and colleagues. She wanted to say something and drag Gu Anhao down with her, but she realized that Minister Qin did not care about them at all. He did not even intend to pay attention to her. Qiu sat down angrily. She turned around and saw Anhao calmly holding up the glass of water, pouring herself another drink and taking a sip. She then glanced at Qiu.¡±Even if 1 don¡¯t fire you, I have many ways to make you see the situation clearly. Are you sure you still want to fight with me?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really despicable. Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re so great just because you have the support of your leader. Anyway, you¡¯re only the director of the design department for the time being. Be careful, don¡¯t fall into my hands! ¡°Xiao Qiu said through gritted teeth, then hurried out with her two close female colleagues. It looked like she had gone to the bathroom to clean up the drink stains on her clothes. Anhao smiled faintly and continued to sit in her seat without moving. She had been talking to Qiu for a while, so she hadn¡¯t paid attention to the main table and the other tables. Now that she looked around, she realized that almost everyone was here. At most, only a few important people were still not here. For a moment, Anhao hoped that Zuo Hancheng would not be able to attend tonight¡¯s dinner because of some urgent company matter or some urgent internal situation that he had to deal with. However, things did not go according to her wishes. She had just taken a look at the time, and her intuition told her that Zuo Hancheng would not come because the governor, the new mayor who had been appointed three years ago, and the secretaries were all here, but Zuo Hancheng was still not here. Although many people were already talking about contacting President Zuo¡¯s assistant secretary, Anhao sat at the table calmly. She glanced at the quiet private room door again, and the nervousness in her heart gradually lessened. Just as she was completely relaxed and toasting with the other department heads and colleagues at the same table, Minister Qin, who had just walked out, suddenly walked in with a smile.¡±President Zuo is here. I just contacted Mr. Mott. President Zuo has an emergency meeting in London tonight. He just finished his work and has arrived at the hotel.¡¯ As soon as Minister Qin finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked outside. He quickly opened the door and said,¡±Coming, coming!¡¯ The group of people in the private room suddenly stood up, including several heavyweight leaders from the province. Although the governor and the secretary did not stand up immediately like everyone else, when the figure at the door approached, they smiled and stood up. When Zuo Hanchengs tall figure appeared in everyone¡¯s sight, they went forward to greet him. After shaking hands, they gave him a shallow hug that was like understanding in the officialdom. ¡°President Zuo took time out of his busy schedule to attend the banquet arranged by our province and the Construction Bureau. It¡¯s really rare!¡± ¡°President Zuo, I can finally see you. It¡¯s really too difficult to see you. The queue is all the way to the other side of the ocean!¡± The crowd greeted Zuo Hancheng, who had just entered the door. Zuo Hanchengs expression remained calm. He nodded at his friends from the province and the officials present. There was a polite and distant smile in his eyes. When his friends from the province came forward, he said a few words to them. It was nothing more than welcoming President Zuo to come, and Zuo Hancheng politely responded to everyone¡¯s serious words. Zuo really couldn¡¯t leave the company for the time being, so he came late, and so on. In any case, Zuo Hancheng had always been praised by people in this kind of circle. Anhao was already used to this kind of scene, but she was still calm when she saw the governor and the others. After all, she was already considered an old friend of Zuo Hancheng. However, Minister Qin had been busy with Zuo Hanchengs side in order to quickly settle the construction renovation project. They invited President Zuo to sit down and ordered people to arrange something for President Zuo. It was not untj.l Zuo Hancheng sat down that everyone returned to their seats. However, the banquet had not started yet, and no one had touched their chopsticks. There was a lot of talk. Zuo Hancheng listened quietly and did not express his opinion. However, every topic would lead to him. There were also many people like Minister Qin who wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Zuo Hancheng, even if it was just a promise. However, Zuo Hancheng did not make a clear statement. He even shifted the topic of conversation to the leaders of the province. In short, the banquet had not officially started, but it was obvious who was the one at the table who was the most served and fawned on. She had heard that Zuo Hancheng was treated with respect even in the province. In this coastal area, even the slightest stomp of his foot would cause a tremor in the various merchant districts along the coast. In the past, Anhao was too focused on the noisy bickering in front of her. She only knew how capable Zuo Hancheng was, but she had never officially participated in such a big dinner. Today, when she saw those people fawning over her without batting an eyelid, Anhao finally understood what Zuo Hancheng meant when he told her time and time again that no matter what happened, she would leave everything to him. Perhaps, he did not need her sacrifice and protection at all. There was no need for her to protect her in the name of leaving for a few years. The deal she made with the Qj family back then might have only become a part of her desire to escape, In the end, she was also willing. It was because Zuo Hancheng had already seen through her selfishness that he had let her go so quickly and thoroughly. That was why his gaze was so cold. That was why he had truly given up on her for the past three years.. Chapter 526 - Chapter 526: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (3) Chapter 526: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo, do you have any other ideas about this reconstruction project? A few of the key persons-in-charge of our design department and construction department are present. If Mr. Zuo has any ideas, you can give some pointers to the newcomers of these departments today¡­¡± The atmosphere at the main table had gradually become more and more lively. Only Zuo Hancheng had a faint smile on his face. He seemed to be in a good mood, but everyone was talking about everything. They even looked forward to the great transformation and construction of the entire A City in five years. Zuo Hancheng occasionally responded faintly, but it seemed that he was always out of it. He was obviously in the mood at the main table, but his aura was the only one that made people not dare to get close to him. Even the occasional small talk and conversation were bounced back because of Zuo Hanchengs simple words. The officialdom and the business world were all places that were associated with money and power. Everyone present knew how dirty this place was. Zuo Hancheng was in the business world, so he naturally could not escape this definition. However, he still felt that he did not touch a single leaf, even in such an occasion. After a few toasts, Minister Qin suddenly stood up and called Anhao, who had been quietly eating, over.¡±¡±Hey, you¡¯re fine¡­Director Gu, come here for a moment.¡± Anhao suddenly paused and raised her head to meet Zuo Hanchengs gaze. The man just sat there, his eyes as clear as water. He looked like a stranger from afar, but he was right in front of her. However, his eyes were so clear that no emotions could be seen. When Anhao tried to look away and stood up to walk to Minister Qin¡¯s side, she could feel that Zuo Hanchengs gaze did not stay on her even though she did not look over. It was as if¡­ He was really just a stranger. It was just like that day at the interview venue, Although his serious and serious interview style was a little unbearable for her, he did not have any unnecessary expressions or questions. From the beginning to the end, in his eyes, she was just a graduate who had just stepped into the workplace. There was nothing special about her. Actually, Anhao felt that it was laughable herself. What could be special about her? Of course, there was nothing special about it. It didn¡¯t mean that they had been together before and that there had to be sparks of love and hate between the two of them when they saw each other. For someone like Zuo Hancheng, leaving was leaving, and parting was parting. Even if they met again, it would probably not cause him any waves. The height he stood at and the world he looked at was so vast. The people and things he met were all eye-catching, but where she stood, she had to look up at the world from time to time. Everything he could see was small, including her. Anhao calmly walked behind Minister Qin and said softly,¡±¡±Minister Qin.¡± Minister Qin was sitting opposite Zuo Hancheng. There was another seat beside him. It was the seat of the person-in-charge of the human resources department. However, the person-in-charge had gone out to answer a phone call at the last minute. He did not know when he would be back, so the seat was empty. Minister Qin gestured for Anhao to come over and sit. At the same time, he said, ¡°¡®President Zuo, do you still remember this Gu Anhao? ¡°You interviewed her in person at the interview venue that day. At that time, the young lady gave a series of reconstruction plans and memorized the structural data, which made everyone in the panel very satisfied. This young lady didn¡¯t disappoint them. Her design drawings were taken a fancy to by the governor and the Construction Bureau at the same time. In addition, Mr. Zuo sent Mr. Mott to send the list of candidates for the interview. She was directly selected by us to join the design department.¡± He is now the chief designer and the director of our design department.¡± Minister Qin smiled and looked at President Zuo is a senior in front of you, and it¡¯s all thanks to President Zuo that you were hired in the end. Otherwise, if President Zuo didn¡¯t like your design style, I¡¯m afraid this matter would have to be discussed again.¡± Anhao raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng. Under the gazes of the leaders of the province, she could not help but smile.¡±Thank you for your promotion, President Zuo.¡± Zuo Hanchengs gaze lingered on her for a moment, and his voice was as clear as a spring.¡±Minister Qin, you¡¯re being too serious. I value your talent, Miss Gu. Whether you can be promoted or not depends on your own ability. There¡¯s no need to thank me.¡¯ Anhao nodded and stopped talking. Minister Qin noticed that Anhao, who was usually a smart girl, suddenly became reserved after sitting here. It was probably because the people sitting here were all leaders of the province. They were not used to this kind of scene and were a little timid. They smiled and said,¡±Gu Anhao¡¯s design drawings have even been approved by the governor, who has always been picky. It can be seen that the governor and Mr. Zuo have always had the same thoughts. This lady has not disappointed us. Ever since she took over the design department, the design work of this project has been carried out in an orderly manner.¡± Minister Qin then gave An Shi a look, meaning that he wanted him to talk to President Zuo about the final design. Anhao raised her eyes and looked in Zuo Hanchengs direction. She saw that he was being toasted by a leader of a certain bureau in the city. She smiled calmly and took the cup. Although she did not drink, she tilted her head slightly and listened to the leader beside her. At the same time, she casually placed her arm on the edge of the table. She acted as if everything had nothing to do with him, completely ignoring Anhao. Actually, the reason why Anhao didn¡¯t want to come to this kind of event in the beginning was because she had been exposed in the media three years ago. Although her hair had grown a lot longer now, and she would put on a thin layer of makeup every day because of her work, even if it wasn¡¯t too obvious, it was still not easy to be recognized compared to her appearance in front of the media cameras. Now that she was sitting here and being looked at by so many people, no one recognized her as Mrs. Zuo from back then. It could be seen that there were still some differences between her appearance in front of the camera three years ago and her current appearance. The clothes she wore were also different. At that time, she was wearing some youthful clothes, but now she was wearing professional clothes. Moreover, Rong Xue and Zuo Hancheng were the main topic of the media at that time. She, Mrs. Zuo, was just a minor character that was mentioned in passing. These were all important people in the province. Who had the time to gossip about how many women Zuo Hancheng had? Who had the time to look at the love and hatred of a female celebrity? ¡°Anhao?¡± ¡°Director Gu?¡± Minister Qin called out to Anhao twice beside her. Anhao snapped back to her senses and saw him beckoning her to go to Zuo Hanchengs side.. Chapter 527 - Chapter 527: Zuo Hancheng’ s Difficulty (4) Chapter 527: Zuo Hancheng¡¯ s Difficulty (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked at Minister Qin in confusion.¡±¡±Minister?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you bring the design drawings with you today? Hurry up and go over. It was rare for him to see President Zuo. Let him take a look at the design that had just been modified.¡± Anhao looked up again and saw that Zuo Hancheng was still smiling and occasionally chatting with the leader beside him. After hesitating for a moment, she took out the design drawings from her bag. While the other people at the table did not disturb her, she took a deep breath, stood up, and walked around the table in Zuo Hanchengs direction. Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come, come Besides, Zuo Hancheng was the investor of the renovation project. Since she was the designer, she needed to let him, the investor, decide on the draft. It was indeed an indispensable process. When she walked to Zuo Hanchengs side, she noticed that he did not seem to notice her. However, at this time, he had already finished talking to the leader beside him. Someone was toasting him opposite him. Zuo Hanchengs handsome face, which had not changed much in the past three years, only had a faint smile that was used to the situation. If there was anything left on his face over the past three years, it would probably be a calmer aura and more indifference. Anhao stood behind Zuo Hancheng for a while and did not say anything. Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not see her behind him. Anhao continued to stand there. Minister Qin gave Anhao a look, and Anhao pretended not to see it. It was until the provincial secretary sitting opposite Zuo Hancheng smiled and said,¡±President Zuo, that architectural design girl has been standing behind you for a long time.¡± Zuo Hancheng then turned around and glanced at Anhao. His gaze was cold and seemed to be examining her. Anhao looked at him stiffly and forced a smile.¡±¡±President Zuo, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s too much of a bother to let you take a look at our design at this time, but I don¡¯t want to let President Zuo¡¯s favor and the care of all the leaders down. I want to finish the draft as soon as possible, so I want to take this opportunity today to let President Zuo take a look at the draft. If there¡¯s anything that I¡¯m not satisfied with, please give me some pointers¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s words were very polite. At this moment, the rest of her colleagues in the design department had accompanied Xiao Qiu to the bathroom. There were only three or four of them in total, but now she was the only one left. If it weren¡¯t for Zuo Hanchengs cold gaze that forced her to remain calm at all times, she would have been unable to endure the torture, After Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, his gaze fell on the design drafts in her hands. The moment he took it, Anhao quickly let go of the paper in her hand and took a step back at the same time. She tried her best to keep a certain distance from him so that she would not lose control of her emotions when she breathed in his familiar scent. It has been so many years. Gu Anhao, you have already told yourself clearly that Zuo Hanchengs world is not something you can easily step into. Even if you meet him again, you should know your identity. The familiar feeling lingered around her, and she could not lift her spirits for a moment. She stood at the back and waited for Zuo Hancheng to review it. Zuo Hancheng placed the design on the table without looking at it. At the same time, someone took the opportunity to talk to him during the toast. He smiled and clinked his glass with hers. After taking a sip, he started talking about other business matters. It was as if he had forgotten about Anhao¡¯s design after receiving it. Anhao stood behind him and did not move. Minister Qin was so anxious that he could not rush her. After all, Anhao was here to find a way to pass the design drawings to Zuo Hancheng. However, it was rare for Zuo Hancheng to appear at such an occasion. The things that people usually did not have the chance to talk to him about were lined up today. He was so busy that he could not go and look at the design drawings immediately. When Minister Qin caught Anhao¡¯s gaze, he looked at her, telling her to wait behind Zuo Hancheng and not leave. Anhao could only continue to wait, but her eyes fell on the design drawings behind Zuo Hancheng. For a few moments, she was afraid that the wine glass in his hand would suddenly spill and destroy her design drawings. Fortunately, that did not happen. The design remained undamaged and lay quietly beside Zuo Hanchengs hand, as if it had been completely forgotten. Zuo Hanchengs surroundings quieted down, and the atmosphere at the table reached another high point. Zuo Hancheng did not join in the lively atmosphere. Instead, he sat quietly in his own seat and smiled politely at the people at the neighboring tables who came over to try to talk to him. Zuo Hanchengs elegance and demeanor were indeed incomparable to ordinary people. However, he was always gentlemanly to everyone. Why was he not gentlemanly to her? Why did he have to leave her behind? If he really wanted to treat her as a stranger, why would he be so rude and leave her hanging? Did he do it on purpose? Anhao stared at the back of the man thoughtfully. When there was no one around, she took a few steps forward and leaned behind him, saying softly,¡±President Zuo, if you don¡¯t have time to look at the design drawings today, I¡¯ll get the office to send you the electronic design documents later. You can look at them when you have time.¡± As she spoke, she reached out to take the paper away from his hand. Anhao¡¯s sudden action of asking for the design drawing back was a little abnormal. For a moment, the people beside her felt strange and turned their heads to look at her. Minister Qin looked at Anhao strangely. It was fine even if he left the map with Zuo Hancheng, but why did Anhao suddenly ask for it? Was it because Zuo Hancheng had ignored her for too long that he was angry? Gu Anhao was usually good at reading people¡¯s expressions. Why was she so insensible in front of Zuo Hancheng? Just as everyone was feeling strange, Anhao was determined to take the map away. However, before she could do so, Zuo Hanchengs hand, which had been casually placed on the side, suddenly pressed down on the few pieces of paper. At the same time, Anhao¡¯s fingertips were also touched by his palm. She quickly pulled her hand away and took a step back, ignoring the gazes of the people around her. ¡°I¡¯ve already brought the map over. How can 1 not look at it? Are you in a hurry?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her meaningfully. His gaze was cold and distant, and it seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm that others could not understand. Anhao stared at the few design drawings that he was holding down and took two deep breaths.¡±There¡¯s no rush. I¡¯m just afraid that President Zuo will be too busy and waste your time at this time, so 1 plan to send you the electronic draft later.. Chapter 528 - Chapter 528: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (5) Chapter 528: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s words made Minister Qin feel relieved. Although Gu Anhao was young, she was still very sensible and smart when it came to handling matters. How could she not control her emotions in such a situation? ¡°Why didn¡¯t you consider whether it would delay the time before bringing it over?¡±Zuo Hancheng asked her back. Just as Anhao was about to look up and meet his gaze, his gaze had already shifted to the few design drafts. Just when he thought that he was finally willing to look at it, Zuo Hancheng only took a glance. At this moment, someone smiled and poured some red wine into his glass. Zuo Hancheng took a look and smiled. Then, he picked up the glass and gently swirled the red wine in it. It was impossible to tell whether he wanted to look at it or not. Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. ¡°Tell, what changes have been made to the plan this time? Zuo Hancheng looked at the design drafts for a few minutes without turning back. His eyes were still on the design drafts in his hands, but his voice was directed at Anhao. Anhao walked forward and stood beside Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡± The first page of the design drawings has added an analysis of external resources. The view along the line between the stadium and the cultural center is maximized through the view corridor.¡¯ ¡°On the second page, we added the internal structure diagram that we worked out with the structure department. However, the internal structure is only the first draft. If President Zuo has any objections, we can immediately overturn and modify it.¡± ¡± On the third page, the current section is 85m. 45m is about 13F53 is about 16F. The site leveling intention is 11.¡± Anhao spoke the technical terms of the paper and saw that Zuo Hancheng was seriously looking at the few papers that she was talking about. Finally, she reached out and flipped to the last page.¡± The middle few pages only have some simple modifications to the style. President Zuo, you can take some time to look at it later. The last page is the 35-meter-by-132-meter-long three-row, two-landscape enclosed garden 2.3. Internal resource analysis, SITE-ANALYSITVE 85-meter-long, two-row, one-center landscape maximized.¡± ¡°On the cover page, there is a bird I s-eye view, renderings, elevation, cross- section, design instructions, economic and technical indicators, analysis drawings, schematics, and other page markings. I have already explained the few additions and modifications that need to be paid attention to to to you.¡± After Anhao finished speaking calmly, she immediately retreated. Zuo Hancheng did not look back. He was still looking at the design drawings that she had sent over. Seeing that he was indeed looking at them seriously, Anhao put away her dissatisfaction that had been caused by his deliberate neglect. She turned to look at the table next to her and realized that Xiao Qiu and the others had not returned. She suspected that something had gone wrong. However, it was not appropriate for her to tell Minister Qin about the private matters of the design department, let alone in such an occasion. While Zuo Hancheng was looking at the map, Anhao turned around and walked to Minister Qin¡¯s side. She whispered,¡±¡±Minister Qin, I need to go to the washroom. If there¡¯s anything you need, I¡¯ll come back immediately.¡± ¡°Go, go.¡± Minister Qin was very satisfied with his performance. He nodded and signaled for her to go. Anhao turned around and strode out of the room without looking back. After she left the room, she leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh. She turned around and glanced at the corridor of the hotel. Under the long corridor, the lights were dazzling. She hesitated for a moment before walking in the direction of the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom, she was about to push the door open when she suddenly heard a conversation coming from inside. The moment she heard her name, she stopped pushing the door open. ¡°l don¡¯t know how many times that Gu Anhao has slept with that old man, Minister Qin. Tsk tsk, she still has the face to pretend in front of us. I¡¯ve had enough of her. If she continues to be the director of our design department, I¡¯ll be the first one to resign without her firing me!¡± It was Xiao Qiu¡¯s voice. No wonder they hadn¡¯t gone back for so long. They were planning to let her fight alone, and finally found an opportunity to get a few good colleagues to resist her. But Anhao never expected Xiao Qiu and the others to think of this. ¡± That¡¯s right. Minister Qin has a family, right? I heard that his son is already in his teens. It¡¯s probably the easiest to climb into the bed of an old man in his forties or fifties. Gu Anhao relied on her good looks to sell her body. Who knows how many times she slept with him in exchange for the position of the design department¡¯s director.¡± ¡± That¡¯s right. I think that Gu Anhao looks like a vixen¡­¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. This was the first time in her life that she had heard someone describe her as a vixen. She wondered if the next sentence would be a white lotus. ¡°Look at that noble and pure appearance sitting there. She¡¯s like a real-life version of a white lotus!¡± Anhao almost burst out laughing outside the door. In the end, she smiled helplessly and leaned against the bathroom door, continuing to listen to the conversation inside. ¡°Oh right, is Zi Ran especially close to Gu Anhao? I heard that Zi Ran drove Gu Anhao here two days ago in the morning. That Zi Ran looks quite innocent, but I didn¡¯t expect her to be a fence-sitter. When she saw that Gu Anhao had become our department director, she fawned over her all day long.¡± ¡± That Zi Ran isn¡¯t anything good either. She¡¯s better off sprinkling the purple cumin on the kebabs. It¡¯s still somewhat useful. Look at the drafts that Zi Ran has revised these few days. It¡¯s simply too tragic to look at. That young lady must have treated the stadium as a fairytale paradise. If the design drafts that she revised are really built, I¡¯m afraid it can only be a knockoff version of disney, hahaha¡­¡± ¡± That¡¯s right. Birds of a feather flock together. Gu Anhao¡¯s design drafts aren¡¯t any better. If she didn¡¯t sleep with Minister Qin, how could she have been selected? Our drafts, after working hard for several days, are still not as useful as someone who slept with her for a night¡­¡± ¡® Sigh, it¡¯s really getting worse. Working in the government, the situation of unspoken rules is even more serious. I didn¡¯t expect it to happen in front of us. I feel like puking whenever I see Gu Anhao. This kind of woman actually used such methods to get to her position. She¡¯s really shameless..¡± Chapter 529 - Chapter 529: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (6) Chapter 529: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°l plan to unite everyone and resign collectively. Do you want to support me? We¡¯ve all written our resignation letters so that the higher-ups will see our dissatisfaction and consider firing Gu Anhao. Otherwise, we¡¯ll be crushed by her higher position!¡± As soon as Qiu finished speaking, the noisy bathroom fell silent for two or three seconds. Although it was short, the two or three seconds of silence made it clear to Anhao that Xiao Qiu was no match for her. How could the world be so simple? On the surface, the few female colleagues were friendly and gossiped about whatever gossip they had. The reason why their relationship became so harmonious was that they collectively hated her. Their friendship with a common enemy came the fastest, but it was also the most unstable. Once it involved their own interests, no one would take the most dangerous step. After all, Anhao had already said that there were still many candidates waiting in line at the political department. Whoever wanted to leave could leave now. The design department would not be short of people. If they really went to the higher-ups, it would definitely affect Gu Anhao, but they definitely wouldn¡¯t go. After all, not many people were as naive as Xiao Qiu and thought that they could kick Gu Anhao out of the office just by making a scene. If they went to make a scene, not only would they not be able to get rid of Gu Anhao, but they would also get everyone fired. Then, a new batch of people would come in, and they would lose more than they gained. After all, everyone had a deposit of 100,000 yuan in their hands. No one was willing to take the risk of being fired. He would rather curse Gu Anhao behind her back all day long than be the one to stand out. Anhao knew very well what those female colleagues were thinking during those two to three seconds of silence. Women, if they could meet a few people like Xiao Qiu and watch her charge forward bravely and fall to her death, everyone would start talking about her silly past behind her back. No one would really feel sorry for her. For a moment, he suddenly sympathized with Xiao Qiu. She had already graduated and started working, but she didn¡¯t even have this kind of common sense. Did she think that it was like school? Did she think that it was like playing house? Did she think that she could force someone into a corner just by teaming up with a few people? In the end, it was still uncertain who would be the first to be pushed into the corner. Anhao leaned against the wall and smiled faintly. She had nothing to do in the private room anyway, and she didn¡¯t want to go back so early to get in touch with the atmosphere, so she decided to continue leaning against the wall and listen to the commotion. Xiao Qiu saw that the two female colleagues who were on good terms with her were obviously not particularly encouraging this practice, even though they agreed. Xiao Qiu was a little anxious.¡±Are you willing to be led by this kind of woman? Gu Anhao was a woman who had slept with countless men, and she had no idea how many times she had aborted. Perhaps she had given birth to some b * tch¡¯s child and hid it away. With such a dirty person as the director, could they really eat at work every day?¡± ¡°Right, I heard that Gu Anhao used to be from A City. She was born and raised here. Could it be that she had a relationship with Minister Qin before she went abroad?¡± ¡°Who cares about her. In any case, it¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s out to sell. If she doesn¡¯t sell, it¡¯s impossible for her to sit in that position¡­¡± Anhao frowned slightly when she heard the word ¡± abort ¡® . She couldn¡¯t stand this ridiculous topic anymore. She immediately turned around and stuck herself to the door. She planned to teach them a lesson if they went too far. At this moment, Xiao Qiu¡¯s voice came from inside.¡±That Gu Anhao might not only have Minister Qin as her boyfriend. When I passed by the city center on Friday, I saw her sitting in Zi Ran¡¯s car and stopping near the city center. In the blink of an eye, I realized that both of them had disappeared. She must have been kept by someone. Even Minister Qin¡¯s wife couldn¡¯t live in that kind of place, so Gu Anhao must have another man outside¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, why is such an unclean woman still alive in this world¡­¡± Anhao placed her hand on the handle of the bathroom door. Just as she was about to turn it, she suddenly felt a gaze on her back. The gaze was so sharp that she instantly sensed it and turned around instinctively. The moment she turned around, she met Zuo Hanchengs gaze and met a pair of familiar yet unfamiliar dark eyes. Anhao froze immediately. She was so focused on the conversation in the bathroom that she did not notice when Zuo Hancheng walked out. When did he stop at a place not too far away from her? More obviously, he had heard the conversation in the bathroom. Anhao stood stiffly in front of the door for about ten seconds before she snapped back to her senses. The first thing she did was to nod at him with the same distant and polite attitude she had in the private room earlier. She did not call him President Zuo nor did she mention his name. After nodding politely, she took a few steps away from the door of the washroom to avoid bumping into her when those people came out later. That would really be a lively scene. Zuo Hancheng just stood there. She could not tell that he had stopped because of her. It was just that he was too bored inside and decided to come out for a smoke. Because she saw the cigarette box that he had just taken out. She remembered that Zuo Hancheng smoked, but he rarely did. Or rather, she had never seen him smoke even after they had been together for so long. However, when did he start to get used to carrying a cigarette around with him? Although the way he took out the cigarette looked like a mature man¡¯s other kind of tobacco fragrance, her impression of Zuo Hancheng had always been clean and his unique fragrance. He rarely smelled tobacco. When she was at the table and behind him, she had indeed caught a faint smell of tobacco. She thought it was the smell of someone else beside her, but she did not expect it to be Zuo Hancheng. Now that she saw him standing there and looking at her with a lukewarm gaze, it was as if he was looking at a stranger. However, if he was really just a stranger, he would definitely not look at such an insignificant character like.Se??ch ?ew???e?. o?g on ?oo?l? her. The extra glance he gave her seemed to be because of the unpleasant curses in the washroom and her silence. If it was the Gu Anhao from three years ago, she would definitely go in and teach them a lesson right now. They still lacked the ability to speak ill of Great Aunt behind her back. But now, she chose to endure and did not rush in directly. Anhao felt a little helpless when she met Zuo Hanchengs cold gaze. She could only look down at the cigarette in his hand.. Chapter 530 - Chapter 530: Zuo Hancheng’ s Difficulty (7) Chapter 530: Zuo Hancheng¡¯ s Difficulty (7) Translator: 549690339 Until Zuo Hanchengs fingertip smoke roll was extinguished, leaving only a little smoke lingering in front of his elegant face. It was only then that Anhao realized that he might really have just come out for a smoke and coincidentally saw her, and coincidentally heard her being viciously cursed at. There was no extra attitude on his face. When Anhao met his gaze again, she immediately smiled indifferently, but the smile did not reach her eyes. At this moment, someone walked out of the private room. He saw that it was the governor and the secretary of the province. They seemed to have come out to look for Zuo Hancheng, as if they had something to discuss with him alone. Zuo Hancheng looked back at the governor and the secretary and put out the cigarette in his hand. The secretary whispered something beside him. Zuo Hancheng nodded and chatted with the governor. He didn¡¯t look at her anymore. He was surrounded by important officials from the province, and there were so many people in the private room. From this angle, she could only see the man¡¯s slightly raised lips and faint smile when he was talking to the two people beside him. He was so noble and elegant, and he spoke calmly. Anhao wanted to go to the washroom, but she heard a conversation coming from outside, so it was quiet inside. Anhao turned around and walked to the other side of the washroom. It was not until Xiao Qiu and the others came out that she went into the washroom behind them and closed the door behind her. She wanted to wash her face, wake up, and stay calm. She used her hand to catch the cold water from the tap while she heard the commotion outside. When Xiao Qiu and the others saw the governor and Zuo Hancheng, they greeted them repeatedly as they passed by. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, and the governor only hummed politely and did not respond. By the time Xiao Qiu and the others had returned to the private room, Anhao stood in the bathroom and looked up at herself in the mirror. Gu Anhao, you¡¯ve only returned to City A, and you¡¯ve only joined the construction department of the government. You¡¯ve only accidentally participated in the reconstruction project invested by Shengling Group. It¡¯s inevitable that you¡¯ll meet him at such an indispensable social gathering. As long as they lived through today peacefully, they would not have to meet again in the future. After washing her face, she wanted to walk out of habit. However, she considered that the private room was filled with big shots from the province, It would be rude for her to go back without makeup. She could only take out a small cosmetic bag from her handbag and put on the simplest makeup. When she returned to the private room, the atmosphere inside was still very lively. She had planned to go straight to Zuo Hancheng to ask for his opinion on the design drafts that had been changed this time, but when she looked over, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was not there, and neither was the governor or the secretary. He probably went to another place to talk. Anhao lowered her eyes and sat down at the round table beside her. When she sat down, she picked up a glass and poured herself a glass of mineral water to drink. ¡°l didn¡¯t expect Director Gu of our design department to pay so much attention to his image.¡±Xiao Qiu had already returned to her seat. Suddenly, she smiled and whispered, ¡°¡®I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared. So you ran out to touch up your makeup?¡± ¡°Could it be that Minister Qin alone is not enough to satisfy you? You have a new goal and want to seduce a man in such an occasion? You still want to climb higher? Tell me, which one do you fancy? We can help you think of ways to help you climb into the other party¡¯s bed.¡± Anhao put down the glass of water and smiled faintly. She looked at Xiao Qiu.¡¯!What¡¯s wrong? Jealous?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s expression froze. She didn¡¯t expect Gu Anhao to be so shameless! However, Anhao took out a business card from her bag that Minister Qin had given her during the interview. Since she didn¡¯t have a place to put it, she secretly stuffed it into Qiu¡¯s hand. While Qiu was stunned, she whispered,¡±This is Minister Qin¡¯s personal name card. His personal number is on it. When I find a new backer, you can take over. Remember to contact Minister Qin as soon as possible so that other people won¡¯t take advantage of the loophole.¡± After saying that, Anhao!s eyes seemed to drift toward the two female colleagues beside Xiao Qiu, whose eyes were shining. They were also looking curiously at Minister Qin¡¯s name card in Qiu¡¯s hand. Xiao Qiu looked humiliated. She suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Gu Anhao, but her hands suddenly tightened around the business card in her hands so that no one could see it. At the same time, she glared at Gu Anhao and scolded,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, do you think everyone is as indecent and dirty as you?¡± ¡°Oh? Is your private life very discreet?¡± Anhao snorted and looked at her.¡± You and Xiaohui from our design department have only known each other for less than twenty-four hours, and you¡¯re already kissing in public in a bar. That night, you went to a hotel room. Is this how you behave in your private life?¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m having a normal boyfriend! Stop slandering me!¡± Xiao Qiu glared at him. Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± So, we saw you and a man going to a hotel so casually, but you said that I was slandering you. You didn¡¯t see anything at all, but you said it more truthfully than anyone else. How can that be?¡±¡± Anhao smiled calmly and said,¡±¡±On the day that everyone was hired, Xiaohui stayed in Minister Qin¡¯s office for a long time. He seemed to be highly regarded by the Human Resources Department. At first, you thought that Xiaohui would become the person-in-charge of the design department, so the first thing you did was to cling onto his thigh so that other female colleagues would not snatch it from you in the future. Unfortunately, you were wrong. In the end, Xiaohui was still a designer who was on par with you. His status in the office was not even higher than yours. You even rejected Xiaohui¡¯s date. You know very well what you¡¯re thinking.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡­¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and smiled.¡± Don¡¯t be angry yet. Keep the business card well. Maybe you¡¯ll need it someday.¡±¡± Xiao Qiu turned to look at the two female colleagues beside her. Seeing that the two of them were looking at her in a strange way, she guessed that Gu Anhao¡¯s words had really alienated them. In order to prove her loyalty, she immediately slapped the business card on the table and pushed it to Gu Anhao.¡±l don¡¯t want to snatch a man. Besides, I¡¯m not interested in a married man like Minister Qin. It¡¯s your business if you like to be someone else¡¯s mistress.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t look at the business card. Instead, Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes fell on the string of private numbers on the card. From the look in her eyes, she must be trying hard to remember them. Anhao ignored her and turned to the other two female colleagues.¡±¡±Believe it or not, Xiao Qiu and Xiao Hui will break up in less than a week, and Xiao Hui will be the one being dumped..¡± Chapter 531 - Chapter 531: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (8) Chapter 531: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (8) Translator: 549690339 The two female colleagues didn¡¯t say anything. They looked at Xiao Qiu and forced a smile, not participating in the fight between Anhao and Xiao Qiu. That¡¯s right. It¡¯s important to protect yourself in the workplace. It¡¯s useless to be a lackey like Xiao Qiu. Anhao was quite satisfied with the effect of her words. When she saw that Xiao Qiu¡¯s expression was already very ugly, it was obvious that she had discovered Anhao¡¯s motive. This was to make Xiao Qiu isolated by her colleagues in the office. If she really wanted to fight, Anhao welcomed her to fight alone. How could he win! ¡°People like you are really scheming.¡±Xiao Qiu suddenly turned her head away, unwilling to talk to her anymore. Anhao smiled and took the name card from the table. At the same time, she asked, ¡°¡±Have you memorized Minister Qin¡¯s phone number?¡± ¡°How is that possible? I didn¡¯t even look! ¡°Xiao Qiu looked up at her angrily. Anhao smiled and ignored her, who was trying hard to talk to the two female colleagues beside her. In the blink of an eye, she saw the door of the private room open. The governor and the secretary walked in. They seemed to be in a good mood. After entering the door, they were welcomed by the other provincial leaders. Zuo Hancheng only entered after another two minutes, and someone came forward to welcome him. The governor looked back at him as if he was waiting for him and said, ¡°Hancheng, come over and sit down. Without you around, everyone will lose interest.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, President Zuo, come and sit down.¡± ¡°President Zuo, why did you take so long? Hurry up and sit¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng had already taken off his suit and casually placed it in the crook of his arm. The black shirt on his body made Zuo Hancheng, who was already handsome and tall, look even more noble and intimidating. Even in the presence of many important officials, he was still not inferior to anyone. ¡°President Zuo is so handsome. I really didn¡¯t expect that there would be such a good-looking man with such a good figure among people of this class. Look at the other leaders. They¡¯re all either bald or have beer bellies. Even if you don¡¯t count the others, they still look radiant. Only President Zuo gives people a carefree feeling. I wonder how old he is¡­¡± At Anhao¡¯s table, two young girls from other departments were whispering to each other. However, from Anhao¡¯s angle, she could hear it very clearly. Xiao Qiu and the two female colleagues heard it too. They turned to look in Zuo Hanchenz¡¯s direction at the same time. ¡°He should be less than thirty years old, right? He looks to be at most 27 or 28 years old.¡± Xiao Qiu was only focused on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s good looks, so she said casually. The two girls opposite her were top students who graduated from Tsinghua University in Beijing. They were discussing Zuo Hancheng in private, but when they heard Xiao Qiu¡¯s words, they glanced at her and said disapprovingly, ¡°Although President Zuo doesn¡¯t look very old, that calm, noble, and powerful aura is impossible for a man in his twenties. I guess he¡¯s in his early thirties.¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s the best age for a man. I wonder if he¡¯s married yet.¡± ¡°He probably isn¡¯t married. People of his social class usually get married late. Besides, President Zuo is so well-off in all aspects. I don¡¯t think any woman can match him easily.¡± ¡± I don¡¯t remember which year it was. Anyway, it was a few years ago. I think I heard a piece of news in City A. It was about the scandal between Zuo Hancheng, the international president of Shengling Group, and Rong Xue, the famous international superstar. The news mentioned that Zuo Hancheng was married before, but his wife was not Rong Xue. Then, the media hyped up this matter for many days.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really married?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t imagine what kind of woman President Zuo would like,¡± Xiao Qiu said in surprise.¡± ¡® But I haven¡¯t heard about her in the past few years. I heard from my relatives in the Construction Bureau that the Deputy Director of the Construction Bureau is a woman. She¡¯s not even 30 years old yet. She¡¯s very beautiful and has a good family background. She¡¯s the daughter of a leader in Beijing. She¡¯s now working in the Construction Bureau of City A. I heard that she seems to be quite close to President Zuo¡­¡± ¡± Come to think of it, for a person like President Zuo, the only ones who are worthy of him are probably those who are related to the government or some wealthy businessman who can keep up with him in the business world. Anyway, there must be some famous families. But now, looking at our domestic business world, there are really not many people who can compete with Shengling Group¡­¡± ¡°Sigh, I wonder if this Mr. CEO will take a fancy to us Cinderella¡­¡± ¡°Stop dreaming. That¡¯s something that only exists in novels. Moreover, the big CEOs in novels are all stallion horses, okay? I think President Zuo is definitely different from the kind of person in the novel. One look and you can tell that he has self-restraint, elegance, looks, figure, family background, and ability. Even the big CEO in the novel can¡¯t compare to him, okay? Therefore, for people like President Zuo, we just have to secretly look at him and slander him. We definitely don¡¯t dare to dream about it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He definitely lacks a lot of beautiful women around him. Men love sexy and beautiful women. Those who like pure and innocent women are all young men. Cinderella won¡¯t be able to attract a mature man like President zuo.¡± ¡°You speak as if you know President Zuo very well.¡± All of you look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other, look at each other.¡± ¡°Under such circumstances, it means that President Zuo must have someone in his heart, or he already has a beauty who can attract all his attention and attention. He won¡¯t be interested in the flowers and plants outside at all.¡± ¡°Could it be the Deputy Director of the Construction Bureau that you mentioned?¡± ¡± Yes, yes, that¡¯s her. The deputy director¡¯s name is Bai Weiwei. She¡¯s a super beauty. I happened to see her once when I was delivering documents to the Construction Bureau. At that time, she was just about to enter the Construction Bureau. Whether it was her appearance, figure, or temperament, she was definitely top-notch. Although Bai Weiwei¡¯s family background was high and she had a high status, she was quite kind to others. When I passed by her, I nodded politely at her and she even smiled at me¡­¡¯ ¡°Think about it. I¡¯m afraid that only someone like Bai Weiwei is worthy of President Zuo. Even that international superstar back then was not as elegant as Bai Weiwei, nor was she as beautiful as her. If we girls have to admit that she¡¯s beautiful, then she¡¯ll definitely be even more beautiful in the eyes of men. Moreover, that aura is really indescribable.. Anyway, I¡¯ll definitely not be able to compare to her in this lifetime¡­¡± Chapter 532 - Chapter 532: Zuo Hancheng’s Difficulty (9) Chapter 532: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Difficulty (9) Translator: 549690339 ¡± That¡¯s why we¡¯re sure that we¡¯ll never meet a CEO like Zuo Hancheng in our lifetime. Hahaha¡­ ¡°D * mn, have you all read too many CEO novels?¡± ¡± Which girl hasn¡¯t read CEO novels nowadays? Those stallion CEOs who can buy their girlfriends billions of dollars worth of planes as toys. How many girls are so envious of them, hahaha¡­ ¡°Billions of dollars. Do those authors of CEO novels have no concept of the international financial ratio at all? Hahahaha ¡°Zuo Hancheng is the real CEO, okay? How many rich men with good family backgrounds and upbringing are as perverted as those male leads in novels¡­¡± ¡°Hearing your words, you actually can¡¯t help but want to throw yourself into President Zuo¡¯s arms and ask for a chance encounter when he goes out. Look at you, you¡¯re almost drooling, hahaha..¡± As the group of young ladies chatted fervently about Zuo Hancheng, they turned to look at Anhao, who had been quietly eating. ¡°Director Gu, didn¡¯t you eat lunch? Look at your appetite, it¡¯s so good The two girls who graduated from Tsinghua University looked at Anhao with concern. Of course, it was also because Anhao did not participate in the conversation about Zuo Hancheng. They felt that Anhao was the most abnormal person here. A man like Zuo Hancheng was simply mesmerizing. He was mesmerized to death in the house. He was mesmerized by a woman. In the end, Gu Anhao had just spoken to Zuo Hancheng, but at this moment, she was calm as if nothing had happened. Anhao took another bite of the cold dish in front of her. She put down her chopsticks and took a sip of water before saying, ¡®¡±¡®1 ate at noon, but I didn¡¯t eat much. My appetite isn¡¯t very good. Now that I¡¯m looking at the table full of the most high-end food in City A, isn¡¯t it a waste to leave it alone?¡± As she spoke, she took another sip of water. After swallowing the tasteless food in her mouth, she sighed in her heart. She had to listen to a group of young ladies talking about Zuo Hancheng during dinner. She could not let her stay away from Zuo Hancheng and have some peace. The dinner party finally ended at around 11:30 pm. Fortunately, these leaders did not have the habit of continuing to drink and sing karaoke after dinner. Moreover, many leaders had already drunk too much. Everyone was sent to their cars by their secretaries and assistants. Anhao was busy calling Minister Qin¡¯s secretary to send him home. When she was done with Minister Qin¡¯s business, she realized that Zuo Hancheng, who was not drunk, had already left. He did not call his assistant and secretary, but even if he was not drunk, he was still drunk. Even if he was powerful and not afraid of being caught for drunk driving, his safety factor was not high. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked to the window. She looked out of the window. She could barely see the figures of the people who had left, but she did not see Zuo Hancheng. She did not know if there was a driver in his car. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up on calling Mobai to pick up Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, Mobai¡¯s number had probably changed. In three years, many things would change. In this era, three years could completely change the world, let alone the contact information of these people who were once familiar with him. When she took a taxi home, she walked out of the elevator and realized that the sensor light on her floor was broken. After she walked out of the elevator, the light did not come on, and it was very dark. She fumbled around for her phone to light it up, then went to get her keys. Suddenly, the light from her phone shone on the side and a figure appeared. Anhao was so scared that she took a step back and shone her phone in that direction again. She saw Huang Amao squatting there. ¡°Huang Amao, you must be sick! Are you pretending to be a ghost to scare me!¡± Annoyed, she stepped forward and kicked her butt. Huang Amao was in so much pain that he quickly stood up. He hugged Anhao¡¯s arm with a sad expression and leaned his head on her shoulder.¡±¡±l was driven out of the house by my parents¡­For a moment, I didn¡¯t know where to go, so I thought of you.¡± Anhao opened the door speechlessly and said,¡±¡±My place is almost turning into a refugee camp. A few days ago, I just took in a colleague who had a falling out with her parents. In the blink of an eye, you had a problem with your parents and came to live with me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Anhao, just take me in for two days. I¡¯m homeless¡­¡± Huang Amao said seriously after entering the door. Anhao sneered at her and ignored her. She wandered around the house casually. She didn¡¯t go to get water to entertain her. She went straight into the bedroom and put down her bag to change her clothes. She walked out and saw Huang Amao looking at her phone. It seemed that she had just hung up on a call from who knew where. ¡°Were you chased out by your parents or did you run away from home?¡±Anhao looked at her. Huang Amao turned off his phone, turned around, and threw himself onto the sofa. He said plaintively,¡±¡±My parents despised me for being almost twenty-three years old, but I haven¡¯t even had a boyfriend until now. They even said that if I continued to live in this kind of androgynous way, they wouldn¡¯t acknowledge me as their daughter. They asked me to buy some clothes that were suitable for girls within a month, and they even asked me to use cosmetics. More importantly, they even arranged a blind date for me next weekend. Although they didn¡¯t want me to get married immediately, they still introduced a boyfriend with the intention of getting me married. Oh my god, I¡¯m going crazy¡­¡± ¡°Oh my god, I¡¯m going crazy too! Do you really think I¡¯m a refugee camp?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes, turned on the lights in the guest room, and walked out again.¡±How long do you want to stay here? If you¡¯re going on a blind date next weekend, don¡¯t tell me you want to hide here forever?¡± ¡°What else can I do? I don¡¯t want to go on a blind date. A man and a woman who don¡¯t even know each other and then sit together and chat stiffly. Just thinking about it will kill me. I don¡¯t want to go!¡± ¡°Actually, your parents aren¡¯t wrong. With your personality and your usual gender-neutral dressing, you don¡¯t look feminine at all. Your parents are afraid that you¡¯ll marry too late in the future, so they want to introduce you to a few boyfriends early to nurture. It¡¯s also for your own good.¡± ¡°Stop it. Are you willing to go on a blind date?¡±Huang Amao rolled his eyes at her. ¡°I don¡¯t have parents. Who would let me go on a blind date?¡± Anhao snorted.¡± ¡°Why? Do you still feel that it¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t suffer such a big crime of blind dates? Why don¡¯t you help me go on the blind date this weekend? You can say that you¡¯re Huang Mao and go experience the atmosphere of the blind date! Anyway, my parents and his parents won¡¯t go.. The two of you don¡¯t know each other, and he doesn¡¯t know who you are!¡± Chapter 533 - Chapter 533: Going to Shengling Group (1) Chapter 533: Going to Shengling Group (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Are you kidding me? I¡¯m not going.¡± Anhao snatched the pillow from her hands.¡±¡±Go wash your hands and order takeout later.¡± ¡°How can we eat takeout? I was planning to come over and try your noodles again. I thought it was delicious the last time I ate it, so I¡¯ve been thinking about it. ¡°Huang Amao looked disappointed. ¡°The weather is so hot. Who would want to boil water and cook noodles? Do you really think that you¡¯re my superior VIP just because you came to my place to take refuge?¡±Anhao casually placed the pillow back on the sofa.¡±¡±Do you know what time it is now?¡± Huang Amao glanced at the time.¡± I know. It¡¯s past midnight. Is that considered late?¡± In the past, when we were having fun outside school, it was common for us to return to the dormitory at two in the morning. I didn¡¯t eat at night, so I came straight to your place. I¡¯m starving.¡± ¡°I have a social gathering tonight. I¡¯m so tired that I don¡¯t even have the strength to smile when I face a group of leaders and superiors politely on the surface. ¡®What do you want to eat?¡± Anhao picked up her phone. I¡¯ll just get you takeout.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t eat.¡± Huang Amao couldn¡¯t be bothered to get up.¡± It¡¯s already so late anyway. I won¡¯t starve to death if I miss dinner. I¡¯ll just treat it as losing weight.¡¯ Anhao took a glance at Huang Amao¡¯s perfect figure. Although she wore the police uniform or all kinds of gender-neutral clothes all day long, her figure was really good. When she was in high school, Huang Amao¡¯s breasts were the smallest. She didn¡¯t expect that in the past three years, they had grown so much that they were even bigger than her and Chunchun. It was no wonder Huang Amao¡¯s parents decided to arrange blind dates for their child. They were probably afraid that Huang Amao would not be able to find a boyfriend once she got older. It would be a waste of such a good opportunity. Tsk, tsk, they really couldn¡¯t be more shrewd than their parents. Anhao indeed did not have the habit of eating supper. Eating at this time was not good for digestion, so she simply turned around and went to the fridge to get a cucumber and tomato.¡±Then, eat.¡± ¡°Are you feeding the cat?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t eat. I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll be hungry at night.¡± Seeing that Anhao was about to take it away, Huang Amao quickly reached out and snatched it back.¡±¡±Meal, Meal, Meal, Meal, Meal, Meal¡±¡± As she spoke, she took a bite of the cucumber. At the same time, she saw Anhao walking back and forth in the house, busily packing her things.¡±Why are you back so late today? What kind of social event did he have to work so hard to come back only now?¡± ¡°There are some things in the political department. It¡¯s about the construction department, the design department, and a series of plans being finalized. You might not understand the process even if I tell you.¡±¡±How long do you plan to stay here?¡± Anhao explained casually.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after the blind date is over. I don¡¯t want to go home for the next two days. Once I go home, my parents will nag me about the blind date and ask me to grow my hair longer. My hair has just reached my ears and I feel that it¡¯s too long. I really want to cut it short, but my mother and father, those two stubborn old fogeys, said that if I cut my hair again, they¡¯ll tell me to get lost.¡± Huang Amao complained, ¡®¡±¡® Chunchun is a good girl. During her winter vacation in high school, she was sent to another city by her parents for her internship. Even if there was a demon king around her, at least she didn¡¯t have to face her parents ¡®nagging and control. Now that she¡¯s gone to the demon king for her internship, her parents aren¡¯t by her side at all. She¡¯s been living a carefree life. I¡¯m in trouble¡­ ¡°You don¡¯t know how lucky you are.¡± Anhao sat on the sofa and looked at her.¡± Actually, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any harm in believing you. Even if you don¡¯t plan to get married, you still have the intention of getting a boyfriend. With your personality, you¡¯ve had a lot of male friends over the years, right?¡± Even if they could only be brothers, they were at least men. Since your parents really want you to meet them, you should go and take a look. At most, they will let you fool them into becoming brothers in the end. Isn¡¯t it good to have one more friend and one more path?¡± ¡°Stop it. It¡¯s said that the family¡¯s conditions are not bad. The man is an overseas returnee. He¡¯s about the same age as us, about 24 years old. Why don¡¯t you tell me why he doesn¡¯t work hard and start a business at such a young age? Why must he go on a blind date with the goal of getting married? The thought of a man who completely accepted his parents ¡®arrangements and did not resist made me lose my appetite. I don¡¯t want to see him.¡± ¡°What about your parents? Even if you don¡¯t go on the weekend, your parents will still arrange a second and third meeting for you. Why don¡¯t you go and deal with it and go back and say that it¡¯s not suitable?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll use my words to hurt the man during the blind date until he¡¯s too ashamed to show his face. I¡¯ll make him go home and slit his wrists to commit suicide. You know that I¡¯m a fast talker and can¡¯t tolerate too many things. If someone forces me to do something that I don¡¯t want to accept or see, I¡¯ll definitely screw it up.¡±¡±l¡¯m also worried about what to do.¡± Huang Amao raised his hand and held his chin.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Think about it yourself. I¡¯ll go and tidy up the guest room for you.¡¯¡±¡® Just as Anhao stood up, Huang Amao suddenly looked at her back and said, ¡°¡±Anhao, you have the weekend off anyway. Why don¡¯t you help me go on a blind date? When the time comes, you just have to keep rejecting the other party tactfully. No matter if the other party likes you or not, you just have to keep rejecting them.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t stop, nor did she intend to listen to her words. It was obvious that she wouldn¡¯t help her. Huang Amao stood up and followed Anhao into the guest room. He hugged her waist from behind and said, Aiya, baby Anhao, please help me with this. Help me go on a blind date. I beg you, please¡­¡± ¡°Stop trying to disgust me. If you continue to act like a man and act like a hooligan here, I¡¯ll throw you out directly. I won¡¯t keep you anymore.¡±Anhao turned around and glared at her. Huang Amao let go of her, turned around, and fell onto the bed. He started to kick around and shout, ¡®¡±¡®1 don¡¯t care, I don¡¯t care. Help me believe it. If you help me go on a blind date, I¡¯ll tell you a big secret! A secret that you didn¡¯t figure out three years ago!¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was tidying up the bedsheets paused and she looked at Huang Amao in confusion.¡±¡±What secret?¡± Huang Amao stopped what he was doing and sat up. He looked at her with a smile.¡±¡±Then will you help me go on a blind date?¡± The time to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to send out a message to the message to send a message to send out to send out a message to send out. Anhao rolled her eyes at her.¡± Besides, why should I go on a blind date? My temper is similar to yours. You will force him to cut his wrists in shame and commit suicide. Perhaps I will let him die more directly. He might just jump into the river and commit suicide when he leaves the house.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t tell you.¡± Huang Amao lay down again..¡± Anyway, where did Han Ru go after she injured you? How was she treated? You probably aren¡¯t too curious about this, right?¡¯¡±¡® Chapter 534 - Chapter 534: Going to Shengling Group (2) Chapter 534: Going to Shengling Group (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s hand paused. She still remembered that Han Ru had disappeared right in front of her after that incident. The Han family seemed to have stopped moving in A City. No one knew where they had gone. Later, she found out that Zuo Hancheng had been involved in the underworld when he was in the United States. No one dared to offend him easily. Other than being a big shot in the business world in China, no one dared to provoke him. Even though he did not get involved in the underworld anymore, he had a lot of connections in some of the forces behind him, so no one could really touch him. There was also General Ouyang, who had a stable position in the military region. Zuo Hancheng had already laid the foundation for any path he wanted to take. Therefore, even though he was pressured by the Qi, Gu, and Yi families three years ago, causing him to temporarily fall into a series of deadlocks, he did not panic. If he wanted to solve those problems at that time, he only needed time. Anhao looked at Huang Amao again.¡±¡±Stop keeping me in suspense. Don¡¯t think you can threaten me. If you keep me in suspense again, I¡¯ll chase you out now.¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes at her.¡±Your temper is really stubborn. I thought that after three years, your heart would be much gentler, just like your current appearance. You look especially feminine, but unfortunately, you¡¯re still a stubborn child on the inside.¡± ¡°Cut it out, what¡¯s going on?¡± Anhao chided. You know about Han Ru?¡± ¡°Of course, I work in the police station now.¡±Huang Amao said proudly,¡± I can check some household registration information. I can also occasionally check some local files and people¡¯s livelihood when I¡¯m studying. This includes some information on the exit records that have been investigated.¡¯¡±¡® ¡°Half a year ago, I found a record of the Han family.¡± Anhao looked at her in confusion.¡± And then?¡± What did you find?¡± ¡°The Han family left China a few days after you were discharged from the hospital. It seemed like they were going to be expelled from China. Even their household registration changed. ¡°Huang Amao said mysteriously,¡± I was still thinking that although you were seriously injured and almost went to see the King of Hell, we are now a society governed by law. No matter how powerful Zuo Hancheng is, he wouldn¡¯t have caused their entire family to disappear from the face of the earth. I was still wondering how President Zuo made them stay away from you completely. Later on, I realized that he told them to get lost and never return to China again.¡± Anhao recalled what General Qi had threatened her with when she was called in for a talk after she bumped into someone. At that time, she had indeed wanted to leave Zuo Hancheng. On the other hand, after knowing that Zuo Hancheng had been involved in the underworld, she felt that he might have used some extreme methods to deal with Han Ru. She was afraid that he would be picketed because of her, so she¡­ In the end, the Han family was only expelled from the country and not harmed. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She just tidied up the sheets and turned around to leave. ¡°Sigh! Good!¡± Huang Amao saw her strange attitude and quickly chased after her.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you surprised? I didn¡¯t expect Zuo Hancheng to be so straightforward. Actually, it¡¯s quite cruel to get rid of the cameras, but it does prevent them from getting close to you again. It¡¯s been so long now. I wonder how that little b * tch Han Ru is doing overseas. The Han family¡¯s business has also been uprooted. It must be difficult to start anew overseas. It must not be as smooth as it was in China. I guess the whole family is starving in some thatched hut now.¡± He hated Han Ru a lot back then. That green tea b * tch was really hateful. However, so much time had passed, and that name had almost been erased from Anhao¡¯s memory. She thought back to what had happened back then. Although it was indeed scary to be locked in the bathroom and her injuries were indeed serious, she still remembered what Zuo Hancheng had said and everything he had done for her. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Let¡¯s not talk about it.¡±Anhao walked back to the living room.¡± Hurry up and finish your cucumbers and tomatoes, then go take a shower and sleep. I¡¯m exhausted. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡±¡± Anhao sat on the sofa and closed her eyes to recuperate. Huang Amao leaned over and sat beside her.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? If you go out to socialize, it¡¯s nothing more than eating and singing. You don¡¯t even smell of alcohol. How can you be so tired?¡± ¡°My heart is tired.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t open her eyes. ¡°Why?¡± Huang Amao found it strange.¡± Anhao opened her eyes but didn¡¯t explain. She frowned and turned to look at her.¡±Are you sleeping or not? If you¡¯re not sleeping, get lost.¡± ¡°Why is your temper so bad now? After all, we used to be best friends for life and death, okay? I asked you to help me go on a blind date, and I asked you to take me in for a night.¡±Huang Amao rolled her eyes.¡± If you continue to be cocky with me, I¡¯ll report you to the police station. I¡¯ll say that you secretly borrowed someone else¡¯s house and didn¡¯t tell the owner. Let¡¯s see if anyone will come to arrest you.¡±¡® Anhao looked at her speechlessly.¡±¡±l can¡¯t be bothered to explain to you, but you¡¯re not sleeping in the middle of the night.¡± ¡°Why are you so tired? Are you pregnant again?¡± Huang Amao muttered and turned around to go back to the bedroom. Seeing that Anhao was so tired tonight, it was better not to provoke her. However, Anhao was still angered by his words. Anhao threw a tomato at Huang Amao. Luckily, Huang Amao was fast enough to catch it with his hands. He turned around and looked at her.¡±Big Sister, are you crazy? You¡¯re using this to hit people. It¡¯s red and watery! The ground would really become a crime scene!¡± ¡°Get lost! ¡± Huang Amao chuckled and ran into the bathroom. Anhao leaned back on the sofa and turned her head weakly to look in the direction of the bathroom. Han Ru¡¯s family had been expelled from the country, and the relative of the Han family in the military had also fallen. Although the Qi family did not fall, something went wrong with the incident that year. Some of the powers that the old General Qi barely had in the military region had been removed, and no one listened to the old General Qi anymore. Gu Tianming had also fallen. The Yi family had already changed their person in charge. Yi Zeyang had already taken over the Yi family and barely escaped the disaster. However, in the business world of City A, he was still in the middle. Who was the reason for this? Was it because of Zuo Hancheng or because of her? It was as if the origin of this butterfly effect was her. She had never thought that Zuo Hancheng had already eliminated all the people who had hurt her, one by one, and made them pay the price they deserved. What about her? She had let down Zuo Hancheng¡¯s love and everything he had given her. In the end, she had chosen to selfishly run away. What was the price that Zuo Hancheng wanted her to pay? Was it just like now, meeting strangers, so close yet so far apart? Chapter 535 - Chapter 535: Going to Shengling Group (3) Chapter 535: Going to Shengling Group (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Director Gu, go to Shengling Group.¡± The next day, Anhao received a call from Minister Qin¡¯s secretary as soon as she arrived at the office. ¡°Shengling Group?¡± she asked coldly.¡± ¡°Yes, Director Gu. Minister Qin said that you handed the design drafts to President Zuo last night. I think you should have the results of the review by now. Go and get the results. If you are lucky enough to meet President Zuo, ask him if he has any guidance on the reconstruction structure so that your design department can continue to improve the design drafts.¡± Anhao opened her mouth and hesitated for a long time before just handed the design drafts to President Zuo last night. If you¡¯re going to pick them up now, you probably haven¡¯t finished reviewing them yet, right? People like President Zuo should be very busy. Everyone left so late last night, and it¡¯s only past eight now. They probably haven¡¯t finished watching yet¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. Anyway, Minister Qin asked you to go to Shengling Group to get the results before noon today. If you have any objections, you can tell Minister Qin when he comes back from the secretary.¡± Minister Qin¡¯s secretary was only responsible for delivering the news. She did not have the right to decide whether Anhao had to go to Shengling Group to get the results herself. ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± After putting down the phone, Anhao glanced at the newly released design drafts on the computer and casually flipped through them. Then, she raised her hand to flip through the documents on the table, but she couldn¡¯t gather her thoughts at all. Her mind was in a mess, and she didn¡¯t know what Minister Qin meant. There were so many people in the design department, so there was no need for her to approach Zuo Hancheng again and again. Previously, during the dinner party, she had asked her to pass the design drafts to Zuo Hancheng because she was more professional in terms of her professional knowledge and language, so she would not embarrass the staff of the political department. For things like this that could get results, they could just ask someone they trusted to go. There was really no need to ask her to go again and again. But now that Minister Qin had given the task to her, she could only look at the time. She didn¡¯t know when Minister Qin would finish his work. She heard that he had an appointment with the secretary today and had something to discuss. It was just working hours now, so she guessed that they had just met and sat down. If she wanted to wait for Minister Qin to come out of the secretary¡¯s office, she would probably have to wait. ¡°Good morning, Anhao.¡± Zi Ran was late due to the traffic jam today. After she entered the office, she brought the breakfast and sweet coffee that she had just bought from the parking lot and placed them on Anhao¡¯s desk in order to prevent Anhao from scolding her. She smiled cheekily and begged Anhao not to remember that she was late. ¡°Why are you late?¡± Anhao glanced at the cup of sweet coffee and took a sip. ¡°l met an old classmate last night and had dinner together until very late. 1 woke up late today.¡±Zi Ran did not lie and stuck out her tongue at Anhao.¡±l promise I won¡¯t be late again, Sister Anhao!¡± Although Anhao was indeed a few months older than Zi Ran, this was the first time she had called her Sister Anhao. ¡°Seeing that you didn¡¯t use the excuse of traffic jam to stall me, I¡¯ll forgive you this time.¡±Anhao raised the disposable coffee cup in her hand.¡±¡±Also, thank you for the coffee.¡± Seeing that Anhao had no intention of arguing with her and let her off so easily, Zi Ran immediately turned around happily and was about to walk out of Anhao¡¯s office and return to her desk. Anhao suddenly called out to her,¡±Wait a minute.¡±¡± Zi Ran turned her head,¡±Don¡¯t tell me you regret letting me go?¡± Are you going to mark me as late?¡± ¡°I just took a look at the design drafts you did yesterday. That¡¯s all for today. You don¡¯t have to modify them in the morning.¡±After Anhao finished speaking, she continued under Zi Ran¡¯s puzzled gaze,¡±¡±Minister Qin asked us to go to Shengling Group to get the review results. I thought we only needed to call and inform them of the results. I didn¡¯t expect that we would need the review documents signed by Shengling Group.¡± ¡°To Shengling Group?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Zi Ran was surprised. ¡°What¡¯s fiffong?¡± Anhao frowned.¡± ¡± Ah, it¡¯s nothing. I just remember hearing it somewhere. Although President Zuo of Shengling Group has a good relationship with the political department, their company has never officially met any of the political department¡¯s staff, not even a secretary sent to deliver things. After all, we¡¯re still considered to be the staff of the government, right? Wasn¡¯t this President Zuo¡¯s taboo? He rarely had much contact with people in the political world.¡± There was actually such a thing. ¡°Then you go ahead first, I¡¯ll call you later.¡±Anhao picked up her phone and glanced at it. Zi Ran nodded and walked out of the office. Anhao called Minister Qin, but no one answered. It was probably on silent mode or left in the office. She had no choice but to put down the phone and get busy with her work first, putting aside the matter of going to Shengling Group for the time being. At 10:30 in the morning, Anhao looked up from a pile of documents and noticed the time. She remembered that Minister Qin¡¯s secretary had told her to get the results before noon. Minister Qin still didn¡¯t answer his phone. He called his secretary and found out that Minister Qin had gone out with the secretary. He would probably only be back in the afternoon. Therefore, Anhao had to complete the task that Minister Qin had given her in the morning on time. Otherwise, although Minister Qin was usually good to her, she would not be able to bear it easily when he was really strict with her. Zi Ran was sitting in front of the computer and working on a new plan seriously. Suddenly, she heard Anhao¡¯s voice.¡±Follow me.¡± Zi Ran, who was already prepared, immediately saved the plan in front of her. She got up, took her bag, and followed Anhao out. ¡°Are you really going to the Lingsheng Group?¡± Zi Ran jogged all the way behind Anhao. Although both of them were wearing flat shoes, they were still wearing professional suits. Their skirts were a little tight, so they could not walk too fast. They could only jog all the way. ¡°Since Minister Qin has given the order, then it¡¯s true. As for whether we will be invited out after we get there, that will depend on our luck.¡± Anhao said as she walked into the elevator. Of course, she would rather be invited out than enter Shengling Group. Three years wasn¡¯t a short time, but it wasn¡¯t a long time either. There should still be many staff members who were still in their original positions, and there should still be many people who knew her. Even if she had changed slightly, those were people who had seen her true face. They were not photos or cameras, but real people. Therefore, it was too easy to recognize him. He didn¡¯t know if it would be possible for Zi Ran to go in and get the results on his behalf. Anyway, she had gone in person. As for whether she had entered Shengling Group or not, no one would say it. Since Minister Qin didn¡¯t know, this matter could probably be avoided.. Chapter 536 - Chapter 536: Going to Shengling Group (4) Chapter 536: Going to Shengling Group (4) Translator: 549690339 It was already 11:05 when they arrived at Shengling Group. There were still 25 minutes before their company¡¯s lunch break. Anhao got out of the car. After Zi Ran parked the car, she followed behind her. However, when they reached the entrance of Shengling Group¡¯s company building, Anhao suddenly stopped. ¡°Go in and explain the purpose of your visit and the situation to the staff at the front desk on the first floor. See if they can let you in. I remembered that an old friend of mine asked me to go to their unit to help today.¡± Anhao said as she gently pushed Zi Ran up the just here to get the results. There¡¯s no other mission. You can go in and get it.¡± Zi Ran was stunned for a moment before she turned around.¡¯ Anhao hesitated for a moment.¡± Go in and tell the front desk staff why you¡¯re here. If they can¡¯t help you, then you can try calling this number.¡±¡± Anhao wasn¡¯t sure if Mobai and Lin Qings phone numbers had changed, so she asked Zi Ran to record down their previous numbers.¡±¡±One of them is President Zuo¡¯s special assistant, and the other is President Zuo¡¯s secretary. You can try to contact them and tell them why you¡¯re here.¡± Zi Ran wrote down the number and walked in quickly. She didn¡¯t know that Anhao had brought her here to get her help. She thought that it was just a mission that Anhao had arranged for her. Anhao saw that Zi Ran didn¡¯t have any stage fright when she walked in, so she went to the cafe next door and ordered a cup of coffee to wait for her. She also ordered a cup for Zi Ran and waited for her to come out to reward her. However, after Zi Ran entered for more than ten minutes, she suddenly called Anhao and said that because her name wasn¡¯t on the design drafts, she couldn¡¯t receive them. She had to get the signature, Gu Anhao, to receive them personally. Anhao sat quietly in the cafe for another half a minute before she got up and walked out. After entering Shengling Group, she wore her sunglasses and did not take them off. After she walked to the front desk and explained her purpose of visit, the staff deliberately took a look at her name, Gu Anhao. Obviously, they felt that the name was very familiar. Seeing that the woman in front of them was wearing sunglasses and was dressed in professional clothes, and her hair was very long, they did not dare to recognize her easily, so they directly pointed her in the direction. Anhao turned around and walked into the elevator. She was shocked in the elevator of Shengling Grout). Her mind was filled with the memories of the days when she came here with Qin Feng for tutoring with a canvas bag. Every time, she would puff up her face and be very unhappy. In this elevator, Qin Feng, the tutor who had a short teacher-student relationship with her, often saw her reluctant little actions. However, every time she reached the top floor, she had to force a smile and then rush into the rest room for tutoring. Those days were truly gone forever. It was May now, and the weather outside was very hot, around 30 degrees Celsius. Anhao had not walked far from the cafe, and a small layer of sweat was already dripping from her nose. However, the air-conditioning in the elevator was very cold, and it blew so hard that all the pores on her body opened up. She raised her hand and rubbed it on her arm, then walked out after the elevator reached the designated floor. Zi Ran was already waiting for her outside, When she saw Anhao coming out, she quickly walked over.¡±Sister Anhao!¡± ¡°How is it? The review results are out?¡±Anhao asked. ¡°I¡¯m out, but the people in their executive office said that I can¡¯t collect it and that you have to come personally. I had no choice but to ask you to come over.¡±Zi Ran felt guilty for not completing the mission. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I asked you to help me get it. This is my negligence. Don¡¯t blame yourself.¡±Anhao comforted her and quickly walked to the executive office. As soon as she reached the executive office, she bumped into a person who was walking out. The person stopped in his tracks immediately. She also staggered back a small step because she stopped too quickly. When she looked up, she saw the surprise in Mobai¡¯s eyes. She immediately restrained her expression and nodded politely at him.¡±Assistant MO, I¡¯m here to get the review results from President Zuo after he saw our design drawings last Mobai looked her up and down. Anhao noticed that he was looking at her like that, so she had no choice but to take off her sunglasses to avoid appearing too rude. At the same time, she added don¡¯t want to meet too many old acquaintances, so I¡¯m wearing sunglasses.¡± Mobai smiled. At the same time, he turned to look at Zi Ran, who was looking over curiously from not far away. Then, he looked at Anhao.¡±Your colleague?¡± Anhao nodded. Since you really sent me here, why didn¡¯t you call me in advance? If you called me personally, I would have let her take it away.¡±Mobai said as he turned around to greet the people in the executive office, then turned back to look at no need for you to come over personally.¡± ¡°I thought you changed your phone number, so I didn¡¯t tell you in advance. I¡¯ll be more careful next time.¡±Anhao smiled faintly. Seeing Anhao¡¯s transformation now, she was already a lot different from three years ago. Perhaps she was still as eccentric as before, but everything about her was hidden under her calm and steady appearance. ¡°You¡¯re amazing now. You¡¯re already the director of the design department of the F building office. In just three years, you¡¯ve really impressed me.¡±Mobai took the document from the office, his eyes still fixed on Anhao. He smiled and said,¡±¡±The last time I saw you was at the interview venue. Your performance really surprised me. In just three years, you went from a primary school scum to a top student.¡± Hearing Mobai¡¯s sincere praise, Anhao actually felt close to Mobai. If this place wasn¡¯t owned by Shengling Group, she wouldn¡¯t mind treating MO Bai to a meal as an old friend and chatting about the changes in the past few years. However, this was Shenglings group, Zuo Hanchengs place. She didn¡¯t want to stay for too long. Anhao raised her hand and was about to take the document, but Mobai didn¡¯t hand it over to her. Instead, he lowered his head and took it out from the document bag. After checking it twice, he this the design draft you handed to him at the banquet last night?¡± Anhao looked up at him and nodded without batting an eyelid. However, in the next moment, Mobai frowned.¡±¡±What¡¯s going on? Did the secretary take this thing down in advance? President Zuo hadn¡¯t signed it yet, which meant that the review hadn¡¯t been completed yet. Why was it taken down by the secretary and sent to the executive office?¡± Anhao was stunned.¡± You mean you can¡¯t take it away today?¡± If it is, then there¡¯s no hurry. Let¡¯s go back first and ask my colleague to come and get it. I¡¯ll let you know in advance so that I don¡¯t have to come personally.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. President Zuo just finished his meeting. I¡¯ll go up and show it to him.¡±Mobai said as he looked at her.. Chapter 537 - Chapter 537: Going to Shengling Group (5) Chapter 537: Going to Shengling Group (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. President Zuo just finished his meeting. I¡¯ll go up and show it to him.¡±Mobai said as he looked at her. Anhao paused for a moment and immediately smiled awkwardly. ¡°There¡¯s no need. My colleague and I are waiting for you outside.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so hot outside. Come with me.¡±Mobai turned around and left. Anhao didn¡¯t move until Mobai reached the elevator door. He glanced at Zi Ran, who was standing beside him, then turned back to look at Anhao, who still hadn¡¯t followed him. He raised his eyebrows and, because he knew her colleagues were present, he said in a more formal tone,¡±¡±Director Gu?¡± Anhao heard him call her that and knew that he was reminding her of her current identity. Since she was here for work, she couldn¡¯t throw a tantrum. Anhao had no choice but to follow. Just as Zi Ran was about to follow her into the elevator, Mobai suddenly said,¡±¡±Go to the executive office to register. You don¡¯t have to go through so much trouble when you come back in the future. I reckon that your office and our company still have a long way to go.¡± Zi Ran immediately left.¡± Alright, I¡¯ll go register. I¡¯ll wait for you in the parking lot later, Sister Anhao.¡± Anhao nodded. It was only until the elevator doors closed that the elevator became extremely quiet. Anhao stood there without moving, but Mobai looked back at her.¡±¡±Are you cutting off all ties with our company? The things that he handed over were actually taken by his subordinates? Did he really not know the rules here? Every office had its own rules and regulations.¡± ¡°I know, but at first, I only thought of getting a result. It wasn¡¯t that troublesome, so I didn¡¯t think too much about it.¡± Mobai looked at her again.¡± Since we¡¯re meeting for work, it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal to wait for a while on the top floor, right?¡±¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. She watched as the elevator slowly rose. She really didn¡¯t want to meet too many familiar people here, and she didn¡¯t want to go to the top floor either. There were more familiar people there. ¡°Mobai, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know my situation. It¡¯s already very difficult for me to come here because of work, and now you¡¯re deliberately asking me to go to the top floor.¡±Anhao finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Mobai smiled.¡± Why would I make things difficult for you by going to the top floor? I didn¡¯t force you to go to President Zuo¡¯s office with me.¡± Anhao pursed her lips.¡± Right now, it¡¯s because Shengling Group is investing in the reconstruction project of Zheng F. The design drafts of our department must be finalized by the investor, so we can¡¯t avoid some work contact. I understand this, but you obviously don¡¯t have to go through so much trouble today, but you¡¯re deliberately making things difficult for me. Don¡¯t think that I really can¡¯t tell.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for three years, and you¡¯ve become smarter and smarter. Even though you know that I¡¯m making things difficult for you, you didn¡¯t explode. Instead, you endured for so long before you finally complained.¡±¡±Yes, I just want you to go to the top floor to take a look.¡±¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± ¡°The top floor had a few offices and rest rooms re-established last year. There¡¯s a very quiet rest room. I was planning to treat you to a bento box and sit in the rest room to enjoy the air conditioning so that I wouldn¡¯t have to rush back to the political department¡¯s office so early. In the end, my good intentions were misunderstood by you as deliberately making things difficult for me.¡± Mobai said as he smiled.¡±¡±Does Director Gu mean that you don¡¯t plan to let me treat you to a bento box at all?¡± ¡°Box lunch?¡± Anhao knew that it was already noon.¡±¡±ls it the lunchbox from your company¡¯s staff canteen?¡± ¡°Of course. Didn¡¯t you eat here for more than ten days in the past? I heard that you like the drumsticks in the staff canteen the most, so I planned to get you a few more later.¡¯ ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll leave my colleague downstairs and follow you to the lounge to enjoy the air-conditioning and eat lunch. That¡¯s too inhumane.¡±Anhao rejected with a faint smile. Her mood was much more relaxed than before. But the next moment, the elevator stopped at the top floor. Anhao¡¯s smile was instantly replaced by an expressionless face. Seeing the change in her expression, Mobai smiled and walked out. At the same time, he said indifferently,¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you go to President Zuo¡¯s place. He has a VIP in his office, and it¡¯s not convenient for him to see you. Wait for me in the lounge. If you¡¯re thirsty, go get yourself some water or coffee. After all, you¡¯ve worked in the logistics department before, so you should be familiar with the environment here.¡¯ Mobai then walked towards the CEO¡¯s office. Anhao stood where she was and looked in the direction Mobai had gone. She looked at the door of the CEO¡¯s office and the glass window in the distance. After standing there for two minutes, she realized that the secretaries on the top floor had probably gone for lunch break. There were not many people around and it was very quiet. There was almost no one in each office. She wasn¡¯t in a hurry to hide in the resting room. She only took a few steps slowly along the corridor. Although there were a few newly designed offices and resting rooms, the changes weren¡¯t too big. She could still feel the familiar feeling from before. After more than ten minutes, she heard the sound of a door opening in the direction of the CEO¡¯s office. She thought that Mobai had already gotten Zuo Hancheng to sign the papers and come out. When she turned around, she saw a woman walking out from there. It was a woman, and she had seen her before. Although they had only met once, it was the young and beautiful woman she had seen when she and Rong Qian had walked out of the elevator in Hua Ting Private Garden. There was no need to guess to know that she was Bai Weiwei. She was the Deputy Director Bai of the Construction Bureau, the young female Deputy Director with a very powerful background. Anhao was stunned for a moment before she turned around to look at Bai Weiwei. She did not want to hide but stood there and looked at her. Bai Weiwei was talking on the phone as she walked out. She seemed to be explaining something to someone. Her tone was a little strict, but she sounded very delicate and gentle. Moreover, her every move was extraordinary. It was obvious that she had been brought up well since she was young. Mobai said that President Zuo had an important guest in his office. Was this guest Bai Weiwei? Bai Weiwei walked to the elevator and was about to leave. While waiting for the elevator, she looked in Anhao¡¯s direction. She was on the phone and didn¡¯t pay much attention, but suddenly, she turned to look at Anhao. After giving the person on the other end of the phone a few last words, she put down the phone and looked at Anhao.¡±Have we met before?¡± Anhao looked at her for a while, and her lips curled up slightly.¡±¡±Maybe.¡± Bai Weiwei noticed that Anhao¡¯s tone was very calm. Although she was not lacking in manners, she could tell that Anhao did not want to communicate with her. Bai Weiwei looked at her a few more times before she politely nodded at Anhao when the elevator door opened and walked in.. Chapter 538 - Chapter 538: Going to Shengling Group (6) Chapter 538: Going to Shengling Group (6) Translator: 549690339 When Mobai walked out of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office, the corridor on the top floor was already empty. He looked around and walked to the two resting rooms near the elevator, but Anhao was nowhere to be seen. Just as she was about to make a call, her phone rang. Anhao was currently in the square in front of Shengling Group¡¯s building. The weather was too hot, so she found a shady place to sit down with Zi Ran and enjoy the shade. They each had a stick of ice cream in their hands. ¡°Hello, Assistant Mo.¡± Anhao said very politely while she was on the phone, ¡°¡±1 don¡¯t know how long I¡¯ll have to wait, so I went straight downstairs instead of waiting upstairs. If President Zuo has signed it, I¡¯ll go up and get it now. If you haven¡¯t signed it yet, tell me the exact time.¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s voice over the phone, Mobai raised his eyebrows and sighed softly. He lowered his gaze to look at the document in his hand and said softly, ¡®¡±President Zuo said that the original draft was not bad, but now that it has been modified, it is not as pleasing to the eye as the original draft. Of course, the draft still needs to be perfected, so I hope that when you go back, you can change the way of thinking and redo this design before showing it to him.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t sound surprised at all. She said directly,¡±¡±That means that I don¡¯t have to go up to get it anymore. Destroy the design drafts in your hands with the shredding machine. We¡¯ll continue designing later.¡± Anhao was about to hang up the phone. ¡°Anhao, why are you rushing downstairs?¡±Mobai suddenly asked. Anhao paused for a moment, but she did not explain. She only glanced in the direction of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters and said after a long time,¡± It¡¯s too stuffy up there, it¡¯s too stuffy down there, it¡¯s too stuffy down there.¡± Bored? Mobai turned to look at the various air-conditioning units in the corridor. The air here was so cold that it made people wake up at all times. Her way of prevaricating was too obvious. ¡°If you¡¯re really unwilling to come to the top floor, then wait for me at the staff cafeteria with your colleagues. I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡± ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Then wait for me downstairs. I¡¯ll go down to find you and take you out to eat.¡± ¡® There¡¯s really no need, Assistant Mo.¡± Anhao deliberately used the most distant and polite tone, ¡®¡±Go ahead. We¡¯re going back.¡± She then hung up the phone. Mobai heard that she had already hung up. He lowered his eyes to look at the darkened phone screen and didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. This girl sounded as if she was calm and collected, but her evasion was too obvious. He had followed her up just now and reluctantly agreed to wait in the lounge. In the blink of an eye, he had run down. Did she see Bai Weiwei just now? ¡°Sister Anhao, did you know President Zuo¡¯s assistant before?¡±On the way back, Anhao and Zi Ran casually found a restaurant by the roadside that looked pleasing to the eye and sat down. They planned to go back after lunch. When Zi Ran asked her this question, Anhao only raised her eyebrows. ¡°Do you think you know him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just feel that Assistant MO looks at you as if he knows you very well. However, the tone between the two of you doesn¡¯t sound like it.¡± Anhao glanced at her.¡± The last time at the interview, President Zuo was there as a judge. Assistant MO was also there. He was very satisfied with my proposal and only had a few words with me. This is the first time we¡¯ve met. I don¡¯t think we¡¯re old friends. We¡¯ve just met before.¡±¡® ¡°Oh.¡± Zi Ran didn¡¯t say anything else. She ate quietly while looking at Anhao¡¯s expressionless face. For some reason, she felt that Anhao¡¯s calm attitude seemed to be deliberately hiding something. However, Zi Ran did not know her very well, nor did she understand her very well. It was not appropriate to ask more now. ¡°Are you done eating? After eating, he would go back. He had to redo the design drafts, and he would be busy again this week.¡±Anhao picked up her bag and went to pay. After Zi Ran finished her meal in a hurry, she also got up, but she didn¡¯t manage to get the payment from Anhao. After the two of them walked out of the restaurant, Zi Ran complained that she should have treated her herself. Before Anhao could say anything, her phone rang. Seeing that it was from Minister Qin, she felt a headache. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the phone. ¡°Minister Qin?¡± ¡°Anhao, are you back from Shengling Group? What was the result?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the result we expected. President Zuo doesn¡¯t like the new design, so he didn¡¯t sign it.¡± ¡°I already guessed it. If President Zuo had already taken a fancy to the design last night, he would have told me about it before the party ended last night. However, he didn¡¯t say anything about the design yesterday, so I guessed that he was still dissatisfied with it.¡¯ ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll go back and make a few more copies.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. You have a month¡¯s time anyway. This is the first collective revision draft since you started work. However, if we can finalize it earlier, our project can be implemented earlier. By then, the people in the design department won¡¯t have to be so busy.¡± ¡°Minister Qin, don¡¯t worry. We will work hard and definitely won¡¯t let you and the other leaders count on us.¡± Anhao sat in Zi Ran¡¯s car as she answered the call. She thought that Minister Qin¡¯s words would end here. However, Minister Qin said,¡± President Zuo is actually quite easy-going. Since such a perfect draft has not been accepted by him, then you have to do it according to President Zuo¡¯s preferences. As for you, since you are the chief designer, you should find opportunities to interact with President Zuo more. You should understand his preferences, understand his favorite architectural style, and understand some of the main colors he likes in his home. This will be of great help to whether your design proposal can be finalized as soon as possible.¡± Hearing this, Anhao immediately frowned in confusion.¡±¡±Minister Qin? You mean¡­ ¡°You don¡¯t have to think too much about it. After all, it¡¯s related to whether your office¡¯s design drafts can be finalized in a month. All of this depends on President Zuo¡¯s wishes, so it¡¯s only natural that you have to get along better with President Zuo. While you understand President Zuo¡¯s preferences, you should also let President Zuo trust your design style. Even if there¡¯s something that he doesn¡¯t like, he will still take a step back considering your style.¡± ¡°Minister Qin, I don¡¯t think this matter is necessary¡­¡± ¡°Alright, Anhao, I¡¯ll go and find out more about President Zuo later. When I give you a chance, you must cherish it. Design is the soul of designers like you, and whether President Zuo can become your Bole depends not only on fate but also on your own hard work. People like President Zuo won¡¯t go easy on you for no reason, but I¡¯m telling you clearly that the design plan should be finalized as soon as possible. This will help all our departments and work efficiency in the later stages. As you know, efficiency is the most important thing in government work.. ¡° Chapter 539 - Chapter 539: Going to Shengling Group (7) Chapter 539: Going to Shengling Group (7) Translator: 549690339 What she meant was that she had to get in touch with Zuo Hancheng more. Was Minister Qin here to jinx her? Whatever she hated came, and whatever she wanted to avoid, she had to run into. After rushing back to the office of the political department, everyone heard that the design draft had not been approved by President Zuo, so they had to start revising the design plan. At night, Xiao Qiu and the others were discussing the matter of attending the opening ceremony tomorrow. It was said that many city leaders would be going. Anhao should have gone too. After all, she couldn¡¯t avoid such a thing. Minister Qin was watching her all day. However, Chunchun coincidentally called to say that she had a leave at the last minute and wanted to come back to A City for a gathering. Anhao finally found a reason to decline. After finding some reasons, including the fact that it was rare for her friends to come back for a gathering, and so on, the leader finally granted her leave and she did not have to go to the opening banquet. After work at night, she returned to Hua Ting Private Park. Today, Zi Ran was the one who dropped her off. When Huang Amao got off the car, he was just walking out of the entrance of the community. When he saw Anhao getting off the car, he thought something was wrong with her. He jumped over and saw that the driver was a woman. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Anhao pushed Huang Amao aside.¡±¡±Are you curious about the female driver?¡± ¡°I thought you had someone outside, but it turned out to be a woman.¡±Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched. Seeing that the car had already left, he turned to Anhao.¡±How long do you plan to stay in A City?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. It might be a long time. I have no clue what I want to investigate, and I don¡¯t have time to investigate.¡±Anhao said calmly as she walked into the neighborhood. ¡°Then you can¡¯t always take a taxi or ask your colleagues to send you to and from work every day. It¡¯s impossible for you to not have any savings on hand. It¡¯s so convenient to buy a car now. You can buy a good car with a down payment of tens of thousands of yuan.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t answer when she heard about buying a car. She lowered her head and took out her key card and keys from her bag. ¡°Why are you in a hurry to go home? Chunchun rushed back in the middle of the night. Fortunately, her demon lord has been too sympathetic these few days and allowed her to go back to A City to relax. Otherwise, you probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to see her until now.¡± ¡°Go back and change your clothes. We can¡¯t pick her up in this professional outfit.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t even turn her head back. When Huang Amao heard that, he quickly followed her back.¡±¡±Hey, seriously, are you really not going to buy a car?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t get a driver¡¯s license.¡± Anhao said indifferently, but she seemed to be a little reluctant to answer this topic. ¡°Don¡¯t you usually need a driver¡¯s license to go to school in America?¡± Huang Amao was puzzled. This was considered the most basic thing in an American school, right? How come you haven¡¯t even gotten your driver¡¯s license yet?¡± As Anhao walked into the elevator, her soft voice entered Huang Amao¡¯s ears.¡±¡±l have a phobia about driving. When I touch the steering wheel, my hands shake and I feel dizzy. I probably won¡¯t be able to drive for the rest of my life. Huang AmaAmao was shocked. In an instant, he understood what Anhao was talking about. She quickly followed him into the elevator. Wasn¡¯t Qi Weiran¡¯s incident long over? Besides, she didn¡¯t die. She recovered very well after that. The days after she married Yi Zeyang were even more blissful. You don¡¯t have to be traumatized by what happened back then, do you?¡± At the mention of this matter, Anhao¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with the image of the person who had suddenly bumped into the car¡¯s glass window and the fresh blood that was sliding down the window. Her expression remained unchanged as she quietly looked at the number on the elevator. Her voice was soft and sounded a little hollow.¡±But after she recovered, she had been married to Yi Zeyang for at least two years, but there was no news of her pregnancy.¡± ¡°Whether she¡¯s pregnant or not has nothing to do with you. Maybe it¡¯s because the couple doesn¡¯t plan to have a child for the time being. It has nothing to do with the incident where you hit her with your car back then.¡± ¡°No matter what, I do have a phobia about driving. Otherwise, I would have bought it long ago. Anyway, any small car is not expensive now. I don¡¯t have to buy a BMW or Audi.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, but I really don¡¯t think you need to be traumatized by this. Someone in my family knows a driving school. Do you want to find some time in a few days to take you to register? ¡°If you really have a trauma, you can just drive slowly for a few days. I¡¯ll tell them to be more patient with you. They don¡¯t have to rush you to take the exam. In this way, you can slowly adapt. It won¡¯t be a problem for you to take the exam after you adapt.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it in a few days.¡± Listen to the good, this obviously perfunctory and rejection, it seems that the true, driving, this thing is very resistant. Back then, Anhao¡¯s personality had changed drastically after she bumped into Qi Weiran. She did not mention anything about her mother and even divorced Zuo Hancheng. Neither she nor Chunchun knew what had happened during this period. They only knew that with Anhao¡¯s personality, she would not collapse so easily. ¡°Then I¡¯ll drive myself to pick up Chunchun tonight. Wait for us at home.¡± ¡°Why are you waiting at home? Let¡¯s go to the usual place.¡± ¡°The usual place?¡± Huang Amao paused for a moment before remembering the old place she mentioned.¡±¡±You mean the Charm Bar?¡± Anhao heard the change in Huang Amao¡¯s tone and glanced at her.¡±¡±Could it have already closed down?¡± ¡°Not really.¡± Huang Amao only finished half of his sentence and didn¡¯t say the other half. He only glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±You can go to Huan Mei then. I¡¯ll go pick her up directly.¡± Anhao looked at Huang Amao with a strange expression, but Huang Amao was usually unreliable. She didn¡¯t know what she had suddenly thought of, but she didn¡¯t ask. Anhao, on the other hand, went back to her house and took out her laptop and phone. She opened it and looked at the design draft that she had handed to Zuo Hancheng before. Then, she looked at the initial design draft that she had done on the day of the interview. The change was indeed huge. It looked much more complicated than the simple style, which was more in line with the luxury that the people of the political F wanted. However, with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personality, although the stadium and cultural center represented the inner meaning and central appearance of a city, he naturally knew that it was not feasible to make it too simple and simple. However, not only did Zuo Hancheng not like this level of luxury, even Anhao herself was not sure if this plan would be approved at the beginning. Now that Zuo Hancheng had denied it, she deleted the draft and went back to her original design draft. She rearranged some of the internal and external lines on the draft. Huang Amao saw her workaholic look and couldn¡¯t help but mutter,¡±¡±Did the draft not pass? Could it be that Zuo Hancheng is deliberately making things difficult for you?¡± Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: The Boss is President Zuo (1) Chapter 540: The Boss is President Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Did the draft not pass? Could it be that Zuo Hancheng is deliberately making things difficult for you?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and seriously changed the lines on the design draft.¡±¡±ls he that bored?¡± ¡°How would I know? Between the two of us, you are the one who understands Zuo Hancheng the most, not me. You know better than me whether he is that bored.¡± ¡± I don¡¯t think so. The previous design drafts didn¡¯t satisfy him in terms of style. It was just that Minister Qin was particularly satisfied with the level of luxury. I had already expected the final outcome when I left the drafts with Zuo Hancheng, but I didn¡¯t expect him to reject it so straightforwardly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I said he¡¯s still deliberately making things difficult for you.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t want to talk about Zuo Hancheng anymore, so she decided to stop talking and continued to make serious changes. Huang Amao rested his chin on his hands and looked at her.¡±Do you think Zuo Hancheng still has feelings for you? Was he deliberately provoking you? He¡¯s waiting for you to find him?¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was holding the mouse froze for a moment, but it only paused for three to four seconds before she continued her work. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Anhao answered calmly and straightforwardly. She recalled Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude at the dinner party that night. She also remembered that she had overheard Xiao Qiu and the others scolding her outside the washroom that day. Zuo Hancheng looked at her from afar as he smoked. She recalled his gaze and indifferent expression. No, definitely not. Huang Amao pursed his lips when he heard this.¡¯¡±¡® Anyway, I feel that people like Zuo Hancheng are terrible when they¡¯re heartless, but you¡¯re the one who chose to get a divorce. Maybe he just set you free. People can be heartless, but they can also be affectionate. You¡¯re the real one. You decide not to have anything to do with him after you come back.¡± Even when it came to work? Is that necessary? ¡°We¡¯re already divorced. Is it necessary for me to interfere in someone else¡¯s life?¡±Anhao asked back. ¡® How is this interfering? Zuo Hancheng isn¡¯t married yet. He might be waiting for you to come back¡­¡± ¡°He has someone by his side.¡± ¡°Huh? Who is it?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t answer, but frowned.¡±¡±Are you still going to let me work? If you¡¯re really bored, drive to the station now and wait for a kiss. Don¡¯t bother me here.¡± ¡°Is it that Bai Weiwei? I seem to have heard that Zuo Hancheng is very close to a woman with the surname Bai, but Anhao, maybe it¡¯s just a rumor? Back then, the rumors about Rong Xue had been so realistic, but Zuo Hancheng had not even touched a hair on Rong Xue¡¯s head.¡± Anhao had never thought about it carefully. Now that she heard Huang Amao¡¯s words, she thought of Bai Weiwei¡¯s natural appearance when she walked out of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office today. She did not even need to show off, but she was obviously the mistress of the house. She curled her lips.¡± No one will always wait in the same place. Ah Mao, for me, the dark life in the Gu family is over. Now, I live my own life and support myself. Everything is free and easy. I¡¯m already very satisfied. I don¡¯t want to think too much. Now that I¡¯ve returned from abroad, all I want is peace and innocence.¡± ¡°Have you really given up?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t speak. Seeing that she was ignoring him, Huang Amao had no choice but to remain silent. He just sat quietly at the side and watched Anhao work seriously. It seemed like Anhao had changed too much in the past few years. The rebellious little wild cat from back then had finally transformed into this Gu Anhao who was calm in the face of change under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands. Although Hancheng had not been by Anhao¡¯s side for the past three years, the bystanders could see clearly who had caused Anhao¡¯s changes in the past few years. All the changes in City A over the past few years, those who had hurt Anhao one by one, had disappeared. Anhao said that Zuo Hancheng would not wait for her to come back, nor would he wait for her to look for him. But who knew the truth? At night, at the entrance of the Charm Bar, Anhao walked in and realized that the bar was getting bigger and bigger after three years of not being back. Not only did they buy the front doors on both sides to expand into such a large bar, but the front door was even bigger and more luxurious than the best night banquet in the city. He didn¡¯t expect the bar owner to earn so much money in three years. He was even willing to spend money on renovating the shop. This kind of renovation and expansion would require at least another two to three million yuan, which was considered a small amount. Anhao stood outside for a while and looked at the time. She was sure that Huang Amao had already picked up Chunchun and walked back, so she went in to open a card bag and catch up with the bar owner. As soon as he walked in, he realized that there were many new people in the bar. The bar owner was busy getting people to prepare card bags and welcome customers. He turned around and was about to go to the DJ in front to explain something. Anhao saw the bar owner busy himself and felt that something was wrong. After all, the bar owner was the owner. Usually, he would hand these things over to others. He was only responsible for collecting money behind the counter or drinking and chatting with regular customers to build relationships. He had never been so diligent in the bar. Was she possessed by something? Anhao walked to the counter. The Waiter inside asked her what she wanted, but she didn¡¯t answer. She only looked in the direction of the bar owner until he turned around and saw Anhao. At first, he didn¡¯t recognize her and was about to go to the side to do something else when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Anhao in surprise. ¡°Anhao?¡± The bar owner immediately turned around and walked back. When he came in front of her, he sized her up a few times.¡±Oh my God, it¡¯s really you? Why? Are you willing to come back from abroad?¡± ¡°How did you know that I went abroad?¡± ¡°You¡¯re quite well-informed.¡± Anhao smiled. ¡± ¡°Of course. When you just left the country, Chunchun and Huang Mao would often come to my place to drown their sorrows in alcohol. They would scold you for being heartless every day.¡± ¡°Why are you so busy now? The bar had suddenly expanded to such an extent. Did the prices in the bar increase?¡±Anhao didn¡¯t continue to talk about that matter, but changed the topic. At this moment, the bar owner was called by someone. A passerby called him manager. ¡°The boss has become a manager?¡± Anhao was stunned. What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Haha, it¡¯s a long story.¡± The bar owner smiled as he turned around to sign the wine list. Then, he looked at Anhao and said,¡±¡±Our bar was acquired by Shengling Group two years ago. I¡¯m not the boss anymore. The boss is President Zuo of Shengling Group..¡± Chapter 541 - Chapter 541: The Boss Is President Zuo (2) Chapter 541: The Boss Is President Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng had acquired the Pleasure Bar? Anhao¡¯s eyes were a little surprised. The bar owner immediately smiled and said,¡± Actually, two years ago, I was also very surprised when they came to buy it over. The price they offered was so high that I might not be able to earn back the money even if I opened a bar for my entire life, so I sold the bar directly. Anyway, with the backing of Sheng Ling, Huan Mei¡¯s status instantly surpassed the bars in the city. After a few months of expansion and renovation, even the banquet can only be considered a second-tier bar now. Huan Mei is a first-tier bar in City A. All the big shots come here.¡± ¡°Shengling Group has never been involved in the business of nightclubs before. It¡¯s a miracle that they actually bought Huan Mei.¡±The bar owner sighed and said,¡±Oh right, Anhao, isn¡¯t President Zuo and you¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s expression did not change. She only smiled slightly. The boss did not continue. After all, he knew Anhao back then. Of course, he had seen the news at that time. Although he was very surprised, Anhao suddenly went abroad after that, and everything was left unsettled. Previously, when Zuo Hancheng suddenly acquired Huan Mei, he thought that it might be because of Anhao. However, Zuo Hancheng never showed up here and only handed over the business here to a person in charge. He never mentioned Anhao¡¯s name, nor did he say that it was because of Anhao¡¯s face that he came to acquire Huan Mei, so he did not think too much about it. Now that Anhao had returned and was here, the owner of the bar remembered the old days and booked a private room for her. When he heard that Chunchun and Huang Amao would be coming later, he even said that he would pay the bill tonight. As expected, they had received a lot of money when they were acquired. In the past, this boss would at most give them a discount. Today, he actually asked to pay the bill. He had really become a rich man overnight. Anhao asked for some drinks and food in the private room. When it was very late, Huang Amao came back alone. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you touch Chunchun?¡± ¡°I¡¯m still talking about it. Chunchun is over there. I don¡¯t know what happened. It wasn¡¯t the Great Demon King who let her come back at all. She came back secretly. In the end, the moment she got out of the car, she was forcefully brought back by the Great Demon King. It seems like they had an argument or something. Anyway, the Great Demon King didn¡¯t give her a chance to see us before he forcefully took her away. I¡¯m so angry! I went to the train station but found nothing. Then, the devil sent someone to call me and told me not to look for Chunchun for the time being. Ahhhh, 1 was so angry that I almost smashed my phone.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± ¡°What else can he do? Chunchun had long had something going on between her and the devil, and she was definitely eaten up by the devil. It was said that he was a cold man with a bad temper. He definitely did not have Zuo Hanchengs good manners and patience. Chunchun said that working by his side was worse than death. In the end, I finally saw it today. She had already arrived at A City and got off the bus, but he still did not let her come back. He took her away from the bus station and did not even get to see me. In the end, he called me back!¡± Huang Amao was so angry that he sat on the sofa and drank a glass of iced wine to suppress his anger. ¡°¡±What kind of man is that! He¡¯s too domineering!¡¯ Anhao thought for a moment, then took out her phone and sent Chunchun a message. ¡°Chunchun, are you okay?¡± There was no reply for a while until Anhao and Huang Amao chatted about her for a while before they finally received a reply. In the end, from the reply, he knew that it was definitely not Chunchun¡¯s tone. ¡°She¡¯s fine. She won¡¯t die.¡¯ Anhao was speechless. It was indeed domineering! However, thinking about it, the only person in the world who could easily control Su Chunchun was probably this Great Demon King. She just didn¡¯t know what he looked like, but his tone was obviously related to Chunchun. If she and Huang Amao still didn¡¯t know better and contacted her, this Great Demon King would probably be difficult to deal with. ¡°Treat her better.¡¯ After Anhao replied, she drank alone with Huang Amao for a while. However, without Chunchun nagging at the side, the atmosphere was no different from eating cucumbers at home. However, when Huang Amao heard that it was the bar owner¡¯s treat, he refused to leave and insisted on drinking until dawn. Early in the morning, Anhao was woken up by the ringing of her phone. When she opened her eyes, she found herself and Huang Amao still in the private room of the bar. They had fallen asleep on the sofa. There were not many empty bottles on the coffee table. The two of them were not as good at drinking as they were in school. They fell asleep without drinking much. She frowned and took out her phone from her bag to take a look. She saw that it was a call from the political department. Other than Minister Qin, it was another leader who was in charge of handing over work to her. What time is it? She looked at the time. It was only six in the morning. Could it be that something had happened? Huang Amao wriggled on the sofa because of the phone¡¯s ringtone, then fell back asleep. Anhao rubbed her aching head, got up, and walked out while picking up the phone. When he arrived outside the private room, he saw that the bar was extremely quiet at this time of the morning, so he simply stood in the quiet corridor and answered the phone. ¡°Director Gu, go to T City this afternoon. There will be an architectural design exchange meeting in two or three days. Minister Qin and our department have agreed to let you participate. The process of the meeting will take about three days.¡± She knew that T City was not far. She had been there before. Anhao rubbed her forehead again. She was really uncomfortable because of the hangover. She forgot when was the last time she drank too much. She remembered how many times she swore that she would never drink so much again. When she woke up in the morning, her headache was really unbearable. Moreover, ever since she had a miscarriage three years ago, her body was clearly a little worse than before. Take drinking as an example. Not only did her alcohol tolerance decrease a lot, but the pain after she had a hangover was also much more severe than before. It was almost a fatal pain. She rubbed her head and said uncertainly,¡±¡±To T City? This afternoon? Why are you in such a hurry?¡± ¡°l should have informed you last night, but I couldn¡¯t get through to your phone. I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to catch the bus in the afternoon and the opening ceremony of the design exchange meeting in the evening.¡± Going to T City on a business trip to attend a design exchange meeting¡­ His brain repeatedly revolved around this knowledge. Even if he had a headache, he was instantly clear-headed.. Chapter 542 - Chapter 542: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo Chapter 542: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 His brain repeatedly revolved around this knowledge. Even if he had a headache, he was instantly clear-headed. ¡°Alright then.¡± Anhao sighed and rubbed her head.¡±l¡¯ll prepare in the morning and go to the station in the afternoon.¡± ¡°Remember not to be late. The hotel has already booked it for you.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Anhao put down the phone and turned around to look at Huang Amao, who was sleeping soundly. She went to wake her up and brought Huang Amao home. When he got home, he didn¡¯t care about Huang Amao anymore. He packed his luggage and the necessary things for a business trip. When he arrived at the government office, the leader had already arranged the train tickets, the venue for the exchange meeting, and the hotel address. Anhao rushed to the station without even taking a breath. The ticket was at 12:30, not in the afternoon! She rushed to the station hungry and got on the train. She was so rushed that she forgot to buy water. It wasn¡¯t until she was in the car that she noticed some advertisements on the train. On them were some posters of the design exchange in T City. It seemed that a few internationally famous architects and designers had been invited to T City. There were many people who had come because of their fame, but there were limited seats in each place. The political F sent her here as a special favor. The train took two and a half hours to reach T City. Anhao slept for more than two hours on the train. When she opened her eyes, she felt a little better. She got off the train and rushed to the hotel as if she was going to the market. In the end, she had just arrived at the Ming Yue Hotel in T City that the leader had helped her arrange. She only knew that the environment here seemed to be good. No wonder everyone liked to work in the government. The treatment was really extraordinary. She could even stay in a six-star hotel that was closest to the exchange venue when she was on a business trip. After the check-in procedure, he carried his small luggage while holding his room card and the address of the exchange meeting he was going to attend in the evening. When he saw that the opening meeting was at 7:30 pm, he was wondering when he should rush over. The elevator door opened and he was about to enter when he suddenly bumped into a familiar figure. ¡°Miss Gu?¡± Anhao looked at Lin Qing in the elevator in surprise. She saw that Lin Qing was dressed simolv as if he was out on business. unlike the usual Drofessional attire in the company. Anhao looked at her with some doubt, ¡±Sister Lin Qing? Why are you here?¡± After Anhao returned to the country, she had not seen Lin Qing. Obviously, Lin Qing did not know that she had returned to the country. After looking at her for a while, he smiled and said,¡±l came to T City for a business trip. When did you come back?¡± As expected, Lin Qing was not as well-informed as MO Bai. He really did not know that she had returned. But thinking about it, it made sense. She wasn¡¯t anyone to Zuo Hancheng now, so Lin Qing naturally didn¡¯t need to pay attention to her whereabouts all the time. ¡°I¡¯ve been back for about half a month. I¡¯m also here on a business trip. The leader helped me book this hotel.¡±Anhao walked into the elevator after exchanging some pleasantries. Lin Qing pressed his hand on the elevator door as he walked out, not letting the door close. At the same time, he looked at Anhao and said softly,¡±¡±Which room are you staying in?¡± She didn¡¯t know why Lin Qing was so concerned about which room she was staying in. Anhao looked down at the room card and ¡°803?¡± Lin Qing seemed to be a little surprised. He smiled and let go of the elevator door. Before the door closed, he waved at talk when we have time. I¡¯ll go out and do something first.¡± Anhao nodded. Although she and Lin Qing had always been close, they hadn¡¯t reached the point where they could almost talk to each other like Mobai. Hence, they were just being polite and didn¡¯t think too much about it. When the elevator reached the eighth floor, it went to the room. However, it suddenly realized that there were very few people living on this floor. This floor seemed to be the area for standard suites and luxury suites. The other floors were the area for large beds and standard rooms. She had just heard that because of the exchange meeting in the next two days, the standard rooms and large beds were already full, so the leader had booked a slightly more expensive standard suite for her. Was she the only one on this floor? When she reached the door of Room 803, Anhao suddenly saw a ¡± do not disturb ¡± sign outside Room 806, which confirmed that there was someone in that room. Knowing that she wasn¡¯t the only one on this floor, her heart, which had been a little uneasy because of the strange silence, finally calmed down a little. She opened the door and walked in with a peace of mind. Last night, she had drunk too much alcohol. She left in a hurry in the morning and went out after changing her clothes. She didn¡¯t even have the time to take a shower. Anyway, it was only four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. If she rushed to the venue at seven o¡¯clock, she still had more than two hours. She could take a shower and dry her hair in time. It was because of the hangover that she had a headache. The headache had not been alleviated until now. Anhao decided to turn the temperature of the water to a lower temperature to keep herself awake. She lay in the bathtub and soaked in the slightly cold water. Her headache eased a little, and she could also remember what happened in the bar last night. Huang Amao kept talking about how her family had forced her to go on blind dates. After avoiding it this weekend, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to avoid it next week. She even said that she wanted to leave A City and go far away. In the end, the two of them drank and chatted. In the end, she didn¡¯t remember how she drank too much or how she fell asleep. He remembered that Huang Amao had been asking Anhao to help him with a blind date. As long as she could stop those men from going on blind dates, she would be able to do whatever Anhao said in the future. Anhao couldn¡¯t remember if she had agreed or not when she was drunk. Anyway, Huang Amao had begged her so much that she didn¡¯t know how it ended. Anhao suddenly opened her eyes and realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep in the bathtub. She quickly got up and realized that the tap had not been turned off. Moreover, there seemed to be something wrong with the drain in the bathroom. There was actually so much water. She frowned and hurriedly got out of the bathtub. Before she could dry her body and wet hair, she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out of the bathroom. There weren¡¯t many people on this floor, so she simply opened the door and wanted to call the room service staff to check the situation of the water on the ground. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw the door of Room 806 opposite her open at the same time. Anhao¡¯s panicked and anxious gaze suddenly met the black eyes of the person who walked out of the opposite door. She would never have thought that she would meet Zuo Hancheng here! Anhao¡¯s gaze froze as she looked away from Zuo Hanchengs face. She took a step back awkwardly and glanced at his shirt and pants. She could tell that he was about to leave. When their eyes met, Zuo Hancheng did not expect to see her here.. Chapter 543 - Chapter 543: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (2) Chapter 543: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 However, Zuo Hanchengs eyes were as cold as Hanchuan¡¯s. There was no warmth in them, and there was no surprise or familiarity in them. It was as if he was looking at a stranger or someone he had only met once at work. His expression was calm, and his thin lips were pursed slightly. There was no fluctuation in his emotions. Anhao had never expected that Hancheng would stay here. She should have thought of it when she met Lin Qing, but she thought that Lin Qing came to T City alone on a business trip. She lowered her eyes in a panic and took a small step back because she was only wearing a towel. Her hair was still dripping wet, and there were still water droplets on her shoulders. She only used a towel that was not particularly big to wrap herself up, barely covering the area below her chest and above her knees. Her legs wrapped under the towel were tightly pressed together because of the moment of panic and nervousness. For a moment, she could not move in or out. There was still water in the bathroom, so she had to get room service to check it out. However, Zuo Hancheng was standing opposite her, and under his cold gaze, Anhao felt that her panic was too sudden, so she was silent for a moment before she went back to her room without saying a word. She had been too anxious just now because the water had rushed out of the door. Actually, she could have gone back and called the service desk on the first floor. Just as Anhao was about to return to the room, a room service staff had already noticed the commotion and walked over from the work desk at the end of the corridor.¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, is there a problem?¡± Because Anhao had already returned to her room, before she could close the door, the room service naturally saw Zuo Hancheng first, thinking that he had some orders. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He only gave the room service a lukewarm look and then looked at Anhao, who was about to close the door.¡±lt¡¯s her.¡¯ The room service hurriedly nodded at him to show his respect, then turned to look at Anhao. Anhao stopped closing the door when she heard the sound. When the room service came over, she opened the door again and a problem with the sewer in my bathroom. I fell asleep while taking a shower just now. When I woke up, I found that the floor was filled with water.¡¯ ¡°Water?¡± When the room service heard this, he walked in directly.¡±I¡¯m sorry, Miss Gu. I¡¯ll take a look first. If I¡¯m sure there¡¯s a problem, I¡¯ll get someone to repair it immediately.¡± The room attendant was a woman in her thirties or forties. Although Anhao was wrapped in a towel and was a little exposed, it didn¡¯t affect anything. She took a step back to make way for her. After the room service staff went in to take a look and confirmed that the water was indeed caused by the sewer pipe, they walked out and called the maintenance staff at the service desk on the first floor. Anhao followed her out. When she reached the door, she heard what she said when she called the reception desk. She guessed that they would help her change rooms. It would be even better if she could change to another floor. In short, no matter where they moved to, it would be much better than living opposite Zuo Hancheng. At the same time, she noticed that the door to Room 806 was already closed. She glanced at it and saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the elevator door in the middle of the corridor. It seemed that he was indeed going out. He stood there without turning his head to look at her. He did not look away as if he was really a stranger. The moment the elevator door opened, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have noticed Anhao¡¯s gaze before he walked through the door. He paused for a moment and suddenly turned to look at her. That gaze was cold and devoid of warmth, but it was only a glance. Anhao quickly avoided his gaze and quickly looked back at the room service in front of her. After that, she didn¡¯t look in that direction again. She could only hear the elevator doors opening and closing. After making two consecutive calls, the room service turned around and said to Anhao,¡±¡±Miss, I¡¯m sorry. This kind of problem has never happened in our hotel before. It¡¯s our fault for affecting your stay. Our manager asked us to transfer you to another room and upgrade you to a luxury suite for free. It¡¯s right opposite, 805. What do you think?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze drifted forward and realized that although 805 was not opposite 806, it was next door to 806. From the looks of it, it should be a luxurious suite with the same layout as 806. ¡°Are there really no rooms on the other floors?¡± she asked hesitantly.¡± The room service staff smiled.¡±lt¡¯s true. This floor was originally reserved by Nir. Zuo and his staff, but because our hotel¡¯s president and Mr. Zuo are old friends, they agreed to let us allocate some rooms on the eighth floor when they saw that the hotel was indeed full. However, they requested that the guests must keep quiet. In addition, Miss, you were booked by Minister Qin¡¯s secretary in City A, so you can live on the eighth floor. We can now change the room to 805 for you for free. This was the best the manager could do. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Seeing that the room service was so difficult, Anhao knew that people like Zuo Hancheng usually stayed in hotels above the seven-star level. She did not expect to meet him in a six- star hotel. Although this hotel was also very luxurious, it did not match his usual habits and status. However, it was not strange that Lin Qing would reserve this floor to prevent Zuo Hancheng from being disturbed. ¡°Alright then, 805 it is. Thanks.¡± Anhao turned around and went to pack her luggage. Because she was in a hurry, the water on the floor did not reduce. She simply wrapped herself in a towel and walked out with her luggage. When she reached the door of Room 805 diagonally opposite, the room service opened the door and gave her the room card. After saying a few words of apology, she left. Anhao closed the door and walked in. She realized that this luxurious suite was indeed different from the standard suite. It wasn¡¯t like she hadn¡¯t stayed in this suite before, but compared to the standard suite she had just stayed in, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. It was just that the area was not big. There were other standard suites on the eighth floor. To express his apology, he would just give her a plate of free fruit at night. He actually helped her upgrade to a luxurious suite for free? The price of a night in this luxurious suite was probably several times that of a standard suite. The hotel manager was too generous. After walking around the room, Anhao remembered that she hadn¡¯t finished her shower and her hair was still wet. She hurriedly ran into the bathroom and turned on the shower head. She didn¡¯t have time to take a bath anymore, so she washed her body properly and washed her hair again. After that, she walked out and picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair. The room had a large, curved glass window. She stood in front of the glass window with a towel wrapped around her, drying her hair as she looked downstairs.. Chapter 544 - Chapter 544: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (3) Chapter 544: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (3) Translator: 549690339 A few days ago, when Zheng F was talking about the opening ceremony, they mentioned that Zuo Hancheng would not attend the opening ceremony. So he was in T City today. The last time she came to T City, she was with Huang Amao. She would never forget what happened in T City for the rest of her life. The rush at the foot of the mountain, the speeding black Bentley, the man in black who got out of the car, and everything that happened in the small hotel in T City that night. It had been more than three years, and he didn¡¯t know if the inn was still there. After drying her hair, she received a call from Minister Qin. He asked her if she had arrived at the hotel safely and told her what she needed to do at the exchange meeting tonight. After hanging up the phone, Anhao hurriedly opened her suitcase and took out her laptop. She looked through the design drafts that she had prepared to submit to Stars Corporation because she thought she had not been hired by the government. The leader had forgotten to inform her last night and only informed her this morning that she would be coming to T City for a business trip. In the end, he had forgotten to ask her to prepare the design drafts for the exchange meeting. Fortunately, she had a copy of the draft that she had submitted to Stars Entertainment¡¯s human resources department. She could use it at night with a simple modification. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to finish a draft in half an hour. Half an hour later, Anhao checked the draft in her computer and the draft that she had just edited. She saved it and sent it to the email of the staff at the conference, There was a rule in the evening exchange meeting. It was to prevent the designers from making any last-minute changes to the designs that were being shown at the beginning. Therefore, the designers were forbidden to bring their computers to the venue. They had to send their design drafts to their staff before they went to the venue. The staff would be responsible for showing their design drawings for everyone to enjoy. After sending the message, Anhao was about to go out when she heard movement outside. When she opened the door, she saw Lin Qing carrying a seafood takeout to her door. ¡°Going out?¡± Lin Qing asked with a smile. Seeing that Lin Qing was about to look for her, Anhao looked at her in surprise and nodded,¡±¡±l have to attend a design exchange tonight. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be late, so I want to go a little earlier.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re a few minutes late for that kind of exchange. It¡¯s not like you¡¯re going for an interview.¡±Lin Qing smiled as he raised the takeaway in his hand,¡±¡±l just saw a seafood restaurant on the way back. It¡¯s said to be a famous seafood restaurant in T City. I thought that you probably wouldn¡¯t eat anything before going out at night, so 1 bought you a serving. It should be your favorite food.¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment.¡¯ ¡°Of course. I don¡¯t like seafood. I¡¯m allergic to seafood and my face will get pimples.¡± Lin Qing said as he handed her the takeaway be going to the conference you¡¯re going to tonight, but I don¡¯t have to go so early because 1 have other things to do before I go. I reckon we¡¯ll only arrive halfway through.¡± Did he mean Lin Qing and the staff around him, or did he mean that Zuo Hancheng would be there as well? Anhao didn¡¯t ask. She only held the bag in her hand and looked at Lin Qing in confusion, but she didn¡¯t ask. Lin Qing smiled and pushed her in,¡±Hurry up and eat. You definitely won¡¯t be able to eat anything at that kind of place at night. Don¡¯t think that there will be desserts, food, and wine like a banquet. You won¡¯t even be able to eat bread at this kind of venue.¡¯ Lin Qing knew that she liked seafood, but Anhao was still a little overwhelmed by the fact that she had specially bought seafood for him. After all, it had been so many years since they last met¡­ However, the smell that wafted out of the bag was really what Anhao liked. In her heart, Lin Qing was not an outsider, so she turned around and went in. She opened the lunch box and realized that it was filled with all kinds of delicious seafood, and there were also all kinds of expensive ones. Even if Lin Qing was the secretary of the president of a multi-national corporation, no matter how rich he was, he would not buy such expensive things for her just to pack a takeaway. ¡°Are you really not eating?¡± Anhao asked. ¡°If I don¡¯t eat it, I¡¯ll get pimples.¡± Lin Qing walked in and saw the computer on Anhao¡¯s bed. He turned to look at her and didn¡¯t expect you to really achieve something after studying abroad. 1 really didn¡¯t ask about you before, but now I roughly know about your situation. 1 really didn¡¯t expect that in three years, that rebellious little girl from back then had become a living career woman.¡± Anhao ate the food in the lunch box and said casually,¡±¡±l can be considered a career woman, but I dare not say that I¡¯m a career woman. I¡¯m not that strong yet. At most, I have some talent in design.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why President Zuo knows you better than you Qing suddenly sighed with a deep meaning. Anhao stopped eating as if she did not hear anything. However, the image of Zuo Hanchengs gaze when she walked out of the door in a sorry state wrapped in a towel was reflected in her mind. It was cold. There was no sense of familiarity. She smiled.¡± Indeed, 1 should thank your boss for helping me make the choice. At least I found something in my life that I can rely on myself for. I also found an independent point. I don¡¯t have to rely on anyone anymore, and I don¡¯t have to live under someone else¡¯s roof like when I was young.¡± ¡°Growing up is a good thing, but Anhao, it¡¯s only been three years. Your change and growth have indeed surprised me.¡± ¡°Yeah, when I met Mobai that day, he even laughed at me. He said that I went from a rebellious girl to a slacker to a top student in the blink of an eye. He was especially surprised.¡± Lin Qing laughed when he heard that,¡±¡±Mobai is right. He is more familiar with you. Does everyone know about your return?¡± Ann was so delicious that there were some soup stains on the corner of her mouth. It had been a long time since she had eaten seafood so heartily. She couldn¡¯t eat authentic seafood in the United States. Of course, it wasn¡¯t that there was no seafood in the United States, but she couldn¡¯t eat the taste of seafood in A City in the United States. Anyway, Asians and Europeans had completely different cooking methods, so the taste was different. After returning to China, he didn¡¯t have time to find a seafood restaurant to eat this. Now, he was really enjoying himself. However, she couldn¡¯t ignore Lin Qings words, so she picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth before turning around and saying, ¡°¡®¡±¡®I didn¡¯t plan to let anyone know, but I didn¡¯t expect such a big city like A City to be so small at times..¡± Chapter 545 - Chapter 545: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (4) Chapter 545: Staying in the Same Hotel as President Zuo (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°T City isn¡¯t that big.¡± Lin Qing laughed.¡± Her words were too obvious. A City wasn¡¯t small, but she still met Zuo Hancheng. She had come to T City for a business trip and met Zuo Hancheng again. Indeed, T City was not big. Anhao had a good appetite and finished all the food that Lin Qing bought. When she drank the water, Lin Qing sized her up from the side, not knowing what he was looking at. Anhao turned to look at Lin Qing. The reason why he didn¡¯t go to City A¡¯s City F and the Construction Bureau¡¯s opening banquet tonight was because he had other social events in T City?¡± ¡°Are you talking about President zuo?¡± Anhao paused for a moment and didn¡¯t refute, but she said, ¡°¡±I mean you guys.¡± Lin Qing smiled.¡± CEO Zuo has arranged for someone to attend the opening banquet. There¡¯s no need for CEO Zuo to attend personally.¡± In T City, apart from showing up at tonight¡¯s exchange meeting, President Zuo would not stay long. He would also meet some old friends here, but they had known each other for many years in the business world and had a deep relationship with Shengling Group. ¡± ¡°No wonder the government and the Construction Bureau tried so hard to win him over every day. In the end, he didn¡¯t attend the opening banquet and actually went to T City.¡±Anhao said casually. ¡°You seem to be quite concerned about President Zuo.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao drank the water and put it down. Her expression remained unchanged.¡±No, you misunderstood. I just happened to see your boss just now, so I was curious why he didn¡¯t attend the opening banquet. After all, I¡¯m working in the government now. I know how much the people in the government want to curry favor with your boss, so I just asked casually.¡± Anhao had made the relationship clear, so Lin Qing didn¡¯t say anything more. He just smiled and asked,¡±¡±Are you full?¡± ¡°Yes, but I smell like seafood. I¡¯ll pack up and change my clothes before going out. ¡± ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t accompany you anymore. I have to go out with President Zuo to deal with some serious matters later. You¡¯ll have to handle the matters at the exchange meeting by yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you for dinner, Sister Lin Qing.¡± Anhao nodded and walked to the door.¡¯ ¡°If you want to thank someone, thank President Zuo.¡± Lin Qing said and left. Anhao stood in front of the door in a daze for a while, then turned to look at the empty takeaway box on the table. What did Lin Qing mean? Could it be that Zuo Hancheng asked Lin Qing to buy this takeaway for her when he came back? Should be¡­ It was unlikely¡­ But Lin Qings words didn¡¯t seem like he was joking. At this moment, the room service staff passed by the door and saw Anhao standing in a daze. Thinking that something had happened again, they walked over and asked,¡±¡±Miss Gu, is there any trouble that you need our help with?¡± ¡°No, thank you.¡± Anhao closed the door and looked at the takeaway box for a while. Regardless of whether Zuo Hancheng had a beauty by his side, he was not a real stranger. He knew that she lived here, so he specifically asked Lin Qing to buy her some food. This was actually not that strange. After all, Zuo Hancheng had not lost his memory. He would not be so ungenerous to his ex-wife. Anhao could only comfort herself with this. Otherwise, she really couldn¡¯t understand the meaning behind Lin Qings words. 7:30 PM. Anhao arrived at the venue of the architectural design exchange meeting in T City on time. There were many exterior design drawings that could be seen at the scene. Many of them were designs of large- scale domestic and foreign amusement parks, as well as many large- scale public parks. There were a hundred flowers blooming, but they were all involved in various fields of architectural design. Anhao was a little entranced. When she entered, the security guard asked her for an invitation letter. Before Anhao came, she really did get an invitation letter from the leader of the political department. After handing it over to the security guard, they let her enter from the other side of the door. The main entrance should be the place where internationally renowned designers would go. She saw that there was a red carpet on the road inside. It could be seen that the scale of tonight¡¯s exchange was not small. No wonder they could invite someone like Zuo Hancheng to show his face. However, from what Lin Qing had said, Zuo Hancheng was probably only here to go through the formalities after he was done with his own matters. Hence, she did not have to worry about meeting Zuo Hancheng here, nor did she have to worry about awkwardness. Just as Lin Qing had said, there was no food and the room was full of people. The few booths in the middle were all models made by internationally renowned architects. There were some cross- section designs on the walls and on the big screen. Anhao walked up to the staff and signed in. Then, she found a corner with fewer people and waited for the official exchange meeting to start at eight o¡¯clock. Occasionally, she would see many people in the industry, including some architects from Stars Corporation in City A. However, Stars Corporation sent a team of four or five people. It seemed that their leader and the person in charge of the exchange meeting knew each other, so they were given a lot of extra spots. They looked arrogant. It was obvious that they were here to support the scene. Stars Corporation was indeed a bellwether in the construction industry in China, but it had never been able to compete with Huayang Society, which was invested by Shengling Group in the past two years. Therefore, Stars Corporation had shown that they were very powerful in various places and had a prestigious presence everywhere. Many people in the industry already knew about this situation. Therefore, when they saw the designers from Stars Corporation¡¯s design department approach, some people went up to chat and build relationships, while others avoided them. They didn¡¯t like such high-profile people. Hence, many people came to the quiet corner where Anhao was standing in a short while. They were all trying to avoid the pretentious aura of the female designers from Stars Corporation. Someone asked Anhao where she came from, but Anhao just smiled and didn¡¯t answer. She had never been a sociable person, and she never had a warm attitude towards strangers. This was her nature, and it was also her bad habit that could not be changed. She turned around and walked to the other side to find a quiet corner. Although there wasn¡¯t much to eat here, the waiter had already pushed over a few beautiful dessert tables and some champagne. Anhao walked forward and picked up a glass of champagne to smile at the waiter. Then she turned around and walked to the side, taking a sip of wine. She felt that she had eaten too much in the hotel tonight. If she didn¡¯t drink something to suppress it, she might burp a few times. Half an hour passed quickly. The content of the exchange meeting began at eight o¡¯clock sharp. There was also the appraisal of some of the designer¡¯s manuscripts. The emcee first went on stage and introduced the big shots who would be attending the exchange meeting tonight. He also specifically mentioned that the CEO of Shengling Group, Zuo Hancheng, would be the finale. Anhao did not pay much attention to the rest of the conversation. Since she was going to be the finale, she might have already shown her design drafts when Zuo Hancheng arrived, and she might have left early. In the end, it was better not to meet each other.. Chapter 546 - Chapter 546: President Zuo’s Help (1) Chapter 546: President Zuo¡¯s Help (1) Translator: 549690229 It was just that this exchange would take two to three days. Tonight was only the opening ceremony, so he did not know how to spend the next two to three Anhao finished a glass of champagne and placed it on the table at the side. When she heard that the internationally renowned designers had already left the stage, she walked up to them to observe and learn. After seeing the architectural models made by those famous designers and listening to their fifteen minutes of explanation, he had indeed benefited a lot. He felt that he could add some gorgeous but not too complicated elements to the design drafts of the stadium and the cultural center when he went back. After listening to the explanations and introductions of several internationally renowned designers, everyone was still not satisfied. However, they only invited a few people, and the explanation ended after just over an hour. The big screen began to show the design drafts provided by the many designers who came to participate in the exchange meeting today. Everyone stared at the design drafts on the big screen and kept pointing and commenting. Anhao was also looking at the design drafts on the screen. She was still in the mood to observe and learn. She had just graduated not long ago. Even if she had practical internship experience, she was still a newcomer in this field. There was still a lot to learn. Even if the design drawings of the designers who submitted were not necessarily worth learning, they were still worth learning. She was so focused that she didn¡¯t notice that the others around her had surrounded her because they had heard the commotion at the door. Of course, she did not see Zuo Hancheng, Lin Qing, and the rest who had arrived at the scene. She only stared at the big screen. The faint movement behind her only distracted her for a moment before she continued to watch without turning back. Seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s serious expression, Lin Qing saw her back view after entering the door. Lin Qing looked at Zuo Hancheng who was in front of him without batting an eyelid. He saw that his BOSS did not seem to have seen Gu Anhao at all. He only nodded politely when a few people in charge of the exchange meeting and the leaders came forward to greet him. Then, he was about to walk backstage under the crowd¡¯s escort. At this moment, the screen suddenly projected a superb fantasy architectural design. Anhao was stunned when she saw it. This picture¡­ This was the picture she had sent to Stars Corporation for the interview. However, she had made some simple changes to the picture today, and this picture was the same as before. She thought that she had sent it by mistake, but when she looked up and saw that the designer¡¯s name was Lisa, an elite designer from Stars Corporation¡¯s architectural design department, she immediately frowned. What did Stars Corporation mean by this? She didn¡¯t reply to the article she submitted at that time. She thought that they had given up on the interview because she didn¡¯t contact Stars Corporation anymore. But why was her design draft here? It was fine if these people used her design drafts, but she used this design draft and made some simple changes to the original draft. Moreover, her design drafts were screened later than theirs. Once her design drafts appeared, she would be in trouble. Anhao looked at the designers from Stars Corporation with an ugly expression. She turned around and went backstage to talk to the organizer and person-in-charge of the exchange. Lin Qing was about to go inside with Zuo Hancheng to prepare for the opening ceremony later, but he suddenly noticed Anhao¡¯s expression and her sudden turn to leave. Lin Qing immediately walked behind Zuo Hancheng and whispered,¡±¡±President Zuo, something seems to have happened.¡± Zuo Hancheng slowed down and glanced at Lin Qing. Lin Qing signaled him to look in Anhao¡¯s direction. Zuo Hancheng looked in Anhao¡¯s direction and saw that Anhao was about to go to the back to look for someone, but she was squeezed out by the crowd inside. At this moment, she was negotiating with the security guard backstage. ¡°Miss Gu might have encountered some trouble, or else she wouldn¡¯t be looking like this. Should we go and help her?¡±Lin Qing asked again. Zuo Hanchengs gaze only lingered on Gu Anhao¡¯s back for a moment before he turned his head without batting an eyelid. He smiled at a certain person-in-charge who was greeting him. Lin Qing saw that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have any intention of helping, so he did not say anything more. When Lin Qing was about to follow Zuo Hancheng backstage from the other entrance, Zuo Hancheng threw her a sentence, ¡±¡¯Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Lin Qing was stunned and turned to look in Anhao¡¯s direction. He saw that she was still invited to the front by the security guard backstage and was not allowed to enter the backstage. Anhao had been negotiating with the security guards for a long time, saying that there was a problem with the design drafts and that they needed to explain it to their person-in-charge. At the same time, they had to take her drafts down and not show them to prevent any accidents. However, the security guards repeatedly thought that she was like other women. They had heard that the legendary President Zuo had arrived and wanted to sneak backstage to see President Zuo¡¯s true face. They insisted on refusing her entry. Anhao did not feel very angry at first, but the reason why these security guards did not trust her was because of Zuo Hancheng! She was so angry that she wanted to strangle him! However, there were so many people around. She couldn¡¯t just mess around in such an occasion. After all, she was no longer a child. She could knock down a few security guards if she wanted to. What would happen after she knocked them down? Wasn¡¯t it still unable to solve the problem? Anhao was asked to return to her previous position. She looked up and saw that the design on the screen had been changed to something else. However, many people were praising the design of Stars Corporation¡¯s designer named Lisa. It was very good and gave off the feeling of being a well-known designer internationally. They were even asking if Lisa was a disciple secretly accepted by designer XX. Lisa should be that woman¡¯s English name. She looked Asian and spoke in Chinese, but she made people call her Lisa. She looked like a famous designer. However, it was too shameful for a famous designer to take someone else¡¯s draft and use it as his own! However, the designers from Stars Corporation were surrounded by other people in the venue and were having a heated discussion. If she went up alone, people would only suspect her motives. She could not enter the backstage now. What should she do? Suddenly, she heard people discussing Zuo Hanchengs matter behind her. She turned her head immediately and only knew that Zuo Hancheng had arrived when she heard the contents of their conversation. When she heard the security guard¡¯s reason for rejecting her, she thought that there were many women who thought that Zuo Hancheng would come today, so they wanted to sneak in and wait. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to really arrive. Lin Qing should be backstage now. If she asked Lin Qing for help, she wondered if she could get her design drafts out before it was screened.. Chapter 547 - Chapter 547: President Zuo’s Help (2) Chapter 547: President Zuo¡¯s Help (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao dodged to the side from the crowd and glanced at the design drawings on the big screen. She picked up her phone and was about to call Lin Qing. Before the call connected, the design on the screen suddenly scrolled to her one. In an instant, the entire place was in an uproar. Waves of sighs and strange voices, as well as voices that realized that there was a good show to watch, echoed in their ears. When Anhao saw this, she quickly hung up the phone. While everyone was looking at her in confusion, the international designers who were looking at the design drawings on the stage also looked for the person in charge in confusion. The person in charge looked around the studio and then glanced at Gu Anhao¡¯s name on the design drawing. He immediately fixed her design drawing on the screen in confusion, then walked out and picked up the microphone.¡±Excuse me, is Miss Gu Anhao here?¡± The designers from Stars Corporation were also shocked. Lisa looked around with an ugly expression after seeing Anhao¡¯s design. It was obvious that she was angry that someone had copied her design drafts. Anhao sighed on the spot and walked to the front of the stage.¡±I¡¯m here.¡± The person in charge on the stage glanced at her. When he saw Anhao¡¯s calm expression, he was first stunned. Then, he looked hesitantly at Lisa, who was surrounded by the crowd.¡±Miss Lisa, did you know Gu Anhao before? Could it be that the design drafts were created by the two of you at the same time? However, they did not know that the other party was also participating in this exchange meeting, so they caused such a misunderstanding at the opening ceremony?¡± The person in charge was more tactful. He did not immediately say anything about plagiarism, but first threw out a topic to calm the situation. Anhao and Lisa spoke at the same time. Everyone¡¯s atmosphere instantly rose to a certain level. Anhao looked at Lisa calmly, but Lisa looked at Anhao angrily, as if she was accusing Anhao of plagiarism. ¡°l don¡¯t know why my design drafts were suddenly copied by someone else! ¡°Lisa suddenly spoke and continued to speak before Anhao could,¡± As you can see, before this design draft appeared, no one had seen it. This is my personal idea, and I¡¯m a very experienced designer in Stars Corporation. The buildings I designed are not few in A City. Even overseas, many of my architectural models are used. Now, this design draft is my personal design. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with Miss Gu. Why is it almost identical to my design draft?¡± The person-in-charge glanced at Lisa, then turned to Anhao.¡±Miss Gu, can you explain the situation? Our exchange is not a child¡¯s play. Today is just the opening ceremony, and such a thing has happened. We have to give everyone an explanation so that this exchange can continue normally.¡± Anhao stood below the stage and felt everyone¡¯s gaze on her. There was suspicion, disdain, and disgust in their eyes. It was as if they were watching a good show and watching everyone beat up a dog when it was down. She only glanced at Lisa and saw that the few colleagues from Stars Corporation who came with Lisa were all on her side. It was as if they were planning to prove and support her later. Anhao took the microphone and said calmly,¡±¡± I don¡¯t know how my design drawings could be used by others. I came back from studying abroad two weeks ago and applied for the F reconstruction project in City A. I thought that I wasn¡¯t hired when I was waiting for the notice, so I made a new design draft and submitted it to the HR department of Stars Corporation. After submitting the draft, I received a call from the F government and went straight to work in the design department. I thought that the design draft I submitted to Stars Corporation would be like a stone in the ocean. Even I didn¡¯t expect to appear here today.¡± ¡°Of course, my design drawings appeared after Lisa¡¯s drawings. Everyone can be prejudiced and suspect me because Lisa is a more qualified designer in our province. But if everyone needs evidence, I can provide evidence.¡± Lisa¡¯s expression did not change when she heard Anhao mention the evidence, but the colleagues around her glared at her with ugly expressions.¡±What evidence can you provide? Everyone could clearly see that Lisa¡¯s design drafts were simple, and you made some simple changes to Lisa¡¯s design drafts. It was obvious that you used Lisa¡¯s drafts and made some small changes because you were afraid that others would suspect that you plagiarized them. However, you didn¡¯t expect to run into Lisa here today, so your opportunism didn¡¯t succeed. Now, you actually dare to call a thief a thief!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, she obviously made some changes to the script. Since she made the changes, she¡¯s obviously guilty. It¡¯s obvious that Gu Anhao plagiarized. She was even hired by the political department of City A. 1 heard from the introduction that she¡¯s even the chief designer. The world is really declining¡­¡± Backstage, two screens were broadcasting everything that happened in front of the stage through the camera in front of the stage. Lin Qing frowned. From what she knew of Anhao, although Anhao was rebellious and disobedient in the past, she was very principled and would never engage in plagiarism. That girl¡¯s personality probably hated plagiarism the most. After watching for a while, Lin Qing noticed that Zuo Hancheng was only looking at the screen quietly. His expression did not change, and it was impossible to tell what emotions he had. It was also impossible to tell if he wanted to help Anhao get an explanation. After all, there were so many people present, and everyone was obviously pointing the finger at Anhao, believing that Anhao had plagiarized. Moreover, the organizers had a good relationship with Stars Corporation, so they definitely wouldn¡¯t push the blame on Lisa. Even if Anhao really had evidence, these people wouldn¡¯t let her show it and would coax her away. In other words, Anhao¡¯s reputation might be ruined tonight. ¡°President Zuo¡­ Lin Qing walked behind Zuo Hancheng. Just as she opened her mouth, she saw Zuo Hancheng sitting there with his back facing her, raising his hand to signal her to shut up. Lin Qing had no choice but to retreat to the back, but he was a little anxious as he looked at Anhao¡¯s calm face on the screen, which was now filled with anger. To be honest, Anhao¡¯s personality had been honed to be very stable. She did not smash the microphone on the spot and did anything out of line. She had already given the organizer and the person-in-charge enough face. However, seeing Anhao standing on the stage holding the microphone tightly, it was obvious that she could tell that this match was not going well for her. She also knew that even if she had evidence, it would be suppressed. Therefore, in the calmness in Anhao¡¯s eyes, there were gradually cracks of displeasure.. Chapter 548 - Chapter 548: President Zuo’s Help (3) Chapter 548: President Zuo¡¯s Help (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Miss Gu, you said that you have evidence, so what is it? Just based on this map?¡± The organizers were already on the scene. After all, they were related to Stars Corporation, so they naturally began to defend Lisa. Lisa stood in the crowd and looked down on Anhao, who was already standing on stage. It was as if she firmly believed that Anhao would never explain this matter clearly no matter what. ¡°The design drawing signed by Miss Lisa was made by me. It was inspired by a few classic ancient buildings in Boston when I was studying in the United States. The design plan contains the source of my inspiration and my understanding of it. A work itself is the soul of a designer, especially in the field of architectural design.¡± As Anhao spoke, she looked in Lisa¡¯s direction.¡±What inspired Miss Lisa¡¯s design?¡± ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Lisa sneered.¡± I studied in Boston many years ago, and I went to the Boston Institute of Buildings. I don¡¯t think I went to the same school as you, but we were both in Boston. This was already on my resume many years ago. So, Miss Gu, it¡¯s obvious that I was inspired by those ancient buildings in Boston, but now you¡¯re using it as an excuse. Isn¡¯t that too fake? How could there be such a coincidence in this world?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, you¡¯re a representative from the architectural design department of City A¡¯s F, but you actually did something so despicable, You¡¯re really embarrassing City A! ¡± ¡°If A City uses a ¡®talent¡¯ like you! That was something that everyone felt ashamed of! Hurry up and pack your bags and leave. Why are you still pretending to be a designer? You¡¯re just a plagiarist!¡± Lisa sneered and looked in Anhao¡¯s direction with disdain.¡±Miss Gu, the truth is right in front of us. You used my work and even used my inspiration to modify it to make it your own. Now that everyone has seen it, you still dare to stand on the stage and say that you are innocent. There are so many negative news about you now. I really didn¡¯t expect that there would be a weirdo like you in our domestic design world!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If you¡¯re in a hurry to work after graduating and don¡¯t have any creative inspiration, it¡¯s indeed the best thing to plagiarize the design drawings of the best in the industry. It¡¯s a shortcut, but you still dare to claim that it¡¯s your own work in front of the original designer.¡± ¡°Original designer?¡± After being ridiculed for a long time, Anhao did not panic at all. Although she was still angry, she knew that it was not easy to control the situation today. These people were probably biased towards Llsa, so she had been thinking about how to prove her innocence. Hearing Anhao¡¯s sarcastic question, Lisa looked at her coldly,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? What else do you have to refute? Everyone took this matter to heart.¡± ¡°When did Miss LIsa create this design?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. Lisa paused, looked at her and said confidently,¡±¡± This sub-design map has already been completed in half a month. Half a month has been stored in my computer. The time is shown in the picture storage record.¡±¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Miss Lisa, since you said that you made this picture half a month ago, let¡¯s not talk about where the inspiration came from. Let¡¯s compare it with the records on the computer. How about that?¡±¡± Lisa raised her eyebrows, looking as if she had already changed the picture, so the time recorded must be the modified time. Therefore, she said confidently,¡±Up to you! The pure will naturally be pure! I¡¯ll accompany you however you want! ¡± ¡°What a good line.¡± Anhao¡¯s tone was still indifferent, but she suddenly remembered the requirements of tonight¡¯s exchange meeting. No one was allowed to bring their computers. She immediately glanced at the organizer, who had a thoughtful look on his face.¡±l don¡¯t have a computer with me, but I can¡¯t borrow your computer.¡±¡± ¡°For what? Miss Gu, why do you have to do this? There¡¯s no way the records are in our computers.¡±The organizer¡¯s tone was a little cold. Seeing that they clearly wanted to help Anhao find evidence, Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡±¡± It¡¯s just to compare the time when Miss Lisa and 1 saved the picture and see whose computer this picture appeared on first. This is the most direct way and also the most effective evidence. Since the organizers don¡¯t allow us designers to bring computers here, it¡¯s too much of a waste of time to go back and get the computer now. Why don¡¯t you log into my email and take a look at the time when I sent the picture to Stars Corporation and compare it with Miss Lisa¡¯s time. Isn¡¯t this more direct?¡± When Lisa heard this, she still said arrogantly as if she was not afraid at all,¡±Alright! Since Miss Gu, a plagiarist, dares to say such things, I¡¯m not afraid to compare the time with you! Tell your email and password to the backstage staff. There¡¯s a computer in the backstage. Let them log into your email and see if there¡¯s any so-called sending record!¡± Anhao glanced at her and the organizer said directly,¡¯¡±¡±¡®That¡¯s right. Tell us your email and password. The staff will help you check it immediately.¡± Anhao curled her lips.¡± I have a lot of my own things in my mailbox. I can¡¯t show it to outsiders. I wonder if 1 can go backstage and log in myself?¡±¡± ¡°Miss Gu, if you feel guilty, just say it. Why are you keeping me in suspense?¡±Lisa snorted, but a hint of uneasiness gradually appeared in her eyes. Anhao glanced at Lisa. Did he really think that Gu Anhao¡¯s brain was fried? If she casually told others her email password and the people in the background logged in and deleted her email history, then she would really have no evidence. How could she be stupid enough to let others log in to her email? ¡°Miss Gu, if you¡¯re deliberately stalling for time to cause doubt and panic, I advise you not to waste your time.¡±A female colleague behind Lisa said,¡±No one here brought their computers. After all, everyone is a person who keeps their promises. The organizers asked us not to bring our computers, so none of the designers here brought their computers. The only place with a computer in the entire venue is the backstage, but you refuse to tell the backstage people your email address so that they can help you log in and check it. It can be seen how guilty you are!¡± Anhao looked around at everyone present and could tell that no one was willing to help her. Even if someone was willing to help, there was nothing they could do without a computer.. Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: President Zuo’s Help (4) Chapter 549: President Zuo¡¯s Help (4) Translator: 549690339 The atmosphere was in a deadlock. The designers from Stars Corporation kept provoking Lisa with unpleasant words behind her. Anhao remained calm and collected as she looked for an opportunity. Suddenly, the lights in the corner of the backstage lit up and Lin Qings voice sounded. ¡°Miss Gu, if you need a computer now, President Zuo is willing to lend you his computer.¡± Lin Qings voice came through the microphone placed backstage. It was very clear. Anhao¡¯s heart, which was already burning with anger, instantly froze. The scene instantly entered another burning point. The degree of commotion was even more exciting than when she first discovered the plagiarism. The organizer¡¯s expression froze for a moment. Lisa did not expect Zuo Hancheng to appear out of nowhere. Wasn¡¯t President Zuo of Shengling Group in City A always elusive and never meddled in other people¡¯s business? They had thought that he would not care about what had happened backstage and would only come to cut the ribbon and leave immediately. No one had expected him to intervene, let alone help a newcomer who had yet to gain a foothold in the design world. Lisa instantly looked at the organizer with a hint of desire in her eyes. Initially, the organizers were not sure who plagiarized the film, so they instinctively defended the Stars Corporation. However, when the organizer received Lisa¡¯s gaze, he immediately frovvned. It seemed like Lisa was the one who had vwffonged the young designer in front of her. Now that Zuo Hancheng had suddenly intervened, this matter¡­lt was not easy¡­ ¡°Miss Gu, I think we shouldn¡¯t continue to mess around with this matter. Why don¡¯t we go backstage after today¡¯s opening ceremony and explain this matter clearly? After all, it¡¯s still the opening ceremony of the design exchange meeting. There are so many designers invited from overseas.¡± ¡°This concerns the innocence of a designer and whether she can continue to survive in this industry. Do you think we should explain the misunderstanding in front of everyone or go backstage and talk about it quietly? Since I dared to come on stage and never felt guilty, why did I have to go backstage to say it?¡±Anhao looked at the organizer indifferently. When the organizer saw that she had become so arrogant because of Zuo Hanchengs help, his face turned red and white in anger. However, when he saw Zuo Hancheng walking out, he did not say anything else. He could only turn around and face Zuo Hancheng.¡±President Zuo, I have to trouble you to come forward for this kind of thing. It¡¯s really¡­¡± Lin Qing followed behind Zuo Hancheng and raised his eyes to look at Anhao. Although Anhao¡¯s eyes were filled with anger, she remained calm and composed. Zuo Hancheng did not look at Anhao, but glanced at the organizer.¡±¡±l heard the noise in front of me backstage and had a headache.¡± The organizer¡¯s face turned even paler. It was rare for him to be invited to cut the ribbon. If he did not serve Zuo Hancheng well, the leader would probably ask him to leave with his salary and not work here anymore. ¡°Mr. Zuo, why don¡¯t you go upstairs first¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to stop the organizer¡¯s arrangements. Then, his gaze fell on Anhao. Anhao turned to look at him. The moment their eyes met, she felt that although Zuo Hancheng was cold and indifferent, the familiar feeling was still there. Even if he had only seen everything backstage and did not come out to help her, at the last moment, he still could not bear to see her fall too badly. She did not know if it was because of their old friendship, but she knew that it was not the time to get into a bad relationship with Zuo Hancheng. He was willing to lend her the computer, and this was to help her maintain her reputation in the design industry in the future. She would not lose her source of income from now on. ¡°Miss Gu, if you don¡¯t mind, you can go to Zuo!s car to get the computer.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly, his eyes cold and calm, as if he was helping a stranger he had never met before. Anhao couldn¡¯t care less about that. She could only nod and walk down the stage under the guidance of the staff beside her. When she walked to Zuo Hancheng, she was about to say thank you, but Zuo Hancheng did not give her the chance to say thank you. The moment she spoke, he turned around and walked out. Seeing his indifferent back, Anhao paused for a moment and followed him out. As she followed Zuo Hancheng out, she felt Lin Qings encouraging gaze on her and Lisa¡¯s anxious gaze and angry scolding. It was as if she thought that Anhao would not dare to take out the so-called evidence if she continued to scold her. Just now, Anhao had never intended to lose, Even if she rushed backstage and fell out with the organizers, she would never let these people pour the black mark of plagiarism on her. Now that she didn¡¯t expect someone to come out and help her, of course, she wouldn¡¯t let Lisa innocently put the blame on her. After walking out of the venue, although there were lights in the corridor leading to the main entrance, it was a little dim and not as bright as the lights inside. Anhao followed behind behind Zuo Hancheng in silence. Zuo Hancheng did not turn back to look at her either. The two of them seemed to be walking on two parallel lines, moving forward steadily, but it was as if they would never cross paths again. She did not know if it was because she was especially unlucky whenever she got close to Zuo Hancheng. In the afternoon, when she took a shower, she would still encounter a puddle of water. After running out in such a sorry state, she met Zuo Hancheng. She was so unlucky to have plagiarized when she was attending an exchange meeting at night. The design drafts she had sent to Stars Corporation had been used by someone with ulterior motives. In the end, she was slandered as plagiarized. One situation after another¡­ She had been doing well when she was not by Zuo Hanchengs side for the past few years. Why was she so unlucky in front of him? Was he born to be her? Anhao walked behind him and kept muttering in her heart until Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped. She did not notice that her entire body had suddenly bumped into his back. He did not move, but she quickly took a step back and awkwardly raised her hand to cover her nose as she looked at him.¡±l¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t notice.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced back at her. The car door was already open, and he gestured for her to go in and get her laptop. Anhao bent down and got into the car. She saw that there was indeed a laptop in the back seat of his car. Usually, Zuo Hancheng would have a computer like this in his car to check his work emails and read electronic data. She quickly took it out and closed the door. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, but she saw that his eyes seemed to be filled with cold smoke, which made her words of thanks stuck in her throat.. Chapter 550 - Chapter 550: President Zuo’s Help (5) Chapter 550: President Zuo¡¯s Help (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Thank you.¡± After a long while, Anhao finally found her voice. She nodded at Zuo Hancheng politely. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently. His calm eyes were as vast as the universe. There was no end to them, and there was no emotion in them. It was as if he did not hear her thank you at all. This Zuo Hancheng was cold and noble, and his entire body was shrouded in a sense of alienation. ¡°Feeling wronged?¡± He suddenly spoke. Anhao was touched by his willingness to help, but her eyes were slightly red. However, it was very faint, and it was impossible to tell if one did not look carefully. She didn¡¯t expect him to suddenly ask this. Anhao hugged her laptop tightly and smiled.¡±l¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that the situation just now was too sudden. It¡¯s fine if someone else took my things and used them, but now they¡¯re biting me instead. This feeling is indeed quite¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she smiled again. Zuo Hancheng had already turned around before she could finish her sentence. He did not intend to chat with her for too long. After glancing at her, he turned around coldly and walked back to the venue as if he did not intend to say a word to her. Anhao stared at his back, unable to describe the feeling in her heart. She stood rooted to the spot for a while until Zuo Hancheng had already walked far away and did not stop to wait for her. Only then did she quickly walk in. When they returned to the venue, Zuo Hancheng had already gone backstage. Lin Qing threw Anhao a look at the entrance backstage, telling her to stay calm. Anhao nodded and walked to the front with her laptop. It was very quiet at the moment. Everyone was waiting for the truth. After all, everyone was certain that Lisa would not plagiarize, but now that Gu Anhao was so insistent on getting the computer, and now that Zuo Hancheng had helped Gu Anhao, everyone was not looking forward to the so-called truth. They were looking forward to a different reversal to make their hearts flutter. People nowadays were just so bored. However, seeing the strange gazes in everyone¡¯s eyes, Anhao was even more determined not to be wronged here for nothing. This was not only related to his own reputation, but also the reputation of City A¡¯s F and Zuo Hancheng. If Zuo Hancheng did not trust her and lent her the computer, he would be accused of being a busybody and helping a thief if he helped a plagiarist. After Anhao went on stage, the staff and organizers hesitated for a moment before walking over to her. Anhao turned on Zuo Hanchengs computer and saw that there was a password on the computer¡¯s boot screen. At this moment, there was already a camera on the screen that was playing what was displayed on her computer screen. When they saw the password, everyone glanced at her as if they were watching a good show. Lisa, who was already a little worried, couldn¡¯t help but laugh. So what if she got President Zuo¡¯s computer? He was just being merciful and lending her a computer, but he probably wouldn¡¯t pay so much attention to details to tell her the password. It all depended on whether she had the guts to ask Zuo Hancheng for the password. Anhao only took a glance before she typed a few numbers on the computer keyboard. Zuo Hanchengs work computer in the car did not have many business secrets. He only needed to read his emails at any time. Therefore, the password of the computer was his office number in the CEO¡¯s office of Shengling Group. It was simple. It was the same password three years ago. Three years later, this habit would not change. As expected, the computer was turned on. Everyone was surprised for a moment. They could only guess that Zuo Hancheng had given her the password. Lisa saw Anhao turn on her phone and immediately found the email address. After logging in, she quickly searched for the email history. Anhao¡¯s email address was not the email address she used to work in the government office. Most of the emails were about study materials, so it was easy to find them. He found the email records in the outbox and the email records sent to the HR department of Stars Corporation. After she found it, Anhao opened the email. As expected, the design blueprint that she had sent to Stars Corporation half a month ago was the one that Lisa had just used. At the same time, Anhao opened the email that she had saved in her mailbox after she had edited it that night. Everyone saw that it was the picture that Anhao had edited personally. ¡°Half a month ago, Stars Corporation¡¯s designer recruitment letter indicated this email address. I thought it was the email address of the HR department of Stars Corporation.¡±Anhao¡¯s computer screen stopped at the record of the messages sent half a month ago.¡±¡± I didn¡¯t expect this email to be your personal email, Miss Lisa. I wonder if you¡¯ve received many design drafts every day as the chief designer of Stars Corporation¡¯s design department when you¡¯re recruiting new designers. As long as you find some good ones from those who weren¡¯t hired, you can use them directly or modify them. Then, you can take your salary and lord over Stars Corporation for free every day.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice carried a hint of mockery and an aura that said she would not let the matter rest until the end.¡±Miss Lisa, why don¡¯t we contact all the designers who have submitted to your company in recent years and get them to identify your works?¡± ¡°You¡¯re slandering me!¡± Lisa¡¯s expression was already a little unsightly. The colleagues around her who were still praising her and helping her hug her lackeys instantly avoided her and did not dare to help her anymore. Who would have thought that the famous Lisa would use such a channel to get so much inspiration and work every day¡­ ¡°I¡¯m slandering you? You took my work out to sell, then you turned around and accused me of plagiarizing you. You even incited everyone to drive away a newcomer in the design world. Didn¡¯t you say that you made this picture half a month ago? A designer has always been very concerned about the ownership of their work. You must have a separate record of the time when you first created this work. Why don¡¯t you take it out and compare it to see if you saved it after receiving my email? Even if it¡¯s just a minute later than mine, it¡¯s still late!¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re just a newbie in the design world. What right do you have to slander me?¡±Lisa¡¯s expression was ugly as she started to argue irrationally.¡±You must have done something to the computer!¡± ¡°Miss Lisa, this is President Zuo¡¯s computer. Miss Gu doesn¡¯t have time to tamper with it.¡± The organizers could no longer blindly help the people of Stars Corporation. With President ZUo¡¯s intervention, they could only help the truth.. Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: President Zuo’s Help (6) Chapter 551: President Zuo¡¯s Help (6) Translator: 549690339 The moment the organizer spoke up to help Gu Anhao, Lisa¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred as she looked at Gu Anhao on stage. Anhao quietly hugged her laptop and looked at Lisa. Her eyes were calm, but she was full of vigor that showed that she would never lower her head to someone like her. A newcomer in the design world actually dared to slap Lisa in the face at this kind of designer exchange. From now on, Gu Anhao¡¯s name would be known by everyone, and Lisa would be humiliated by everyone. ¡°Miss Lisa.¡± Anhao could tell that she had something to say, but she couldn¡¯t find a suitable reason to explain herself, so she looked at her calmly.¡±¡±No matter what field it is, as long as it involves plagiarism, you have to defend yourself. If I didn¡¯t have a computer by my side today, and if I didn¡¯t keep a record of the documents, would I have become the plagiarist?¡± ¡°What right do you have to stand here and criticize me? Do you know how many years I¡¯ve been in the design world?¡±Lisa looked at her coldly. Even though she was already being pointed at by a group of people behind her back, she still looked at Anhao unwillingly.¡±You¡¯re just a newbie who came back from studying abroad. How dare you shout in front of me? You¡¯re just a designer who rebuilt a stadium in the government. If you have the ability, you can easily get a construction order for a large-scale amusement park like me. If you have the ability, you can get a construction order for a wealthy villa area as big as Shengshi Luxury Mansion. If you have the ability, you can get a bigger order than the reconstruction project of Stars Corporation¡¯s headquarters! Anhao smiled.¡± We¡¯re talking about plagiarism now, not experience. No matter how many large-scale projects Miss Lisa has taken on, it can¡¯t change the fact that you plagiarized. Moreover, at such a serious and formal exchange meeting, you secretly took someone else¡¯s design and pretended it was yours.¡± ¡°How can you be so sure that the picture is yours? If it was really yours, why did you have to change the design before bringing it here?¡± ¡°l can change my drawing however I want. Do I need to explain to you?¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Of course, I made this map when I was applying to join Stars Corporation. I didn¡¯t prepare any map for this exchange meeting today, but to show my respect for this exchange meeting, I didn¡¯t bring the old map to fill in the numbers. Instead, I spent an hour perfecting the map before handing it to the person in charge. What can you say if I change my map?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes seemed calm, but her words were firm and forceful. Lisa could not answer correctly for a moment, and her face was livid. Someone beside her already felt that they had lost face because of Lisa. They did not want Lisa to continue embarrassing herself here, so they quickly grabbed Lisa¡¯s arm and whispered,¡±Lisa, stop arguing. I don¡¯t know how to explain this to the CEO ¡°What¡¯s there to hide!¡± Lisa, however, looked fearless.¡±I¡¯ve been working at Stars Group for so many years. I¡¯ve always been busy, and the boss has never known!¡± I¡¯m already busy enough looking at your designs every day, and now you¡¯re asking me to participate in this exchange meeting. I¡¯m so busy that I don¡¯t have time to make extra designs, so I casually found a drawing in my email to use temporarily. I didn¡¯t look at that drawing carefully at that time, but now it seems that I really used it wrongly. There are so many flaws in this drawing. Using it will lower my standards!¡± ¡°Miss Lisa, you should be more respectful with your words. The current situation is clearly very disadvantageous to you. There are famous architects from all over the world here, and you¡¯re just using other people¡¯s drawings as your own. In addition, the matter of you casually using other people¡¯s drawings over the years has already been exposed.¡± A girl beside her finally couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and suddenly shouted at Lisa. Lisa¡¯s expression froze. She suddenly turned to look at the girl and glared at her fiercely, as if she was warning the girl that if she dared to say another word, she would not be able to survive in the industry starting tomorrow. As the saying went, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. A designer who had dominated Stars Corporation for too many years was really not afraid of anything. Besides, she had so many big orders in her hands. If she quit, it would definitely affect Stars Corporation¡¯s performance for the whole year. Therefore, no one dared to say too much at the moment. They could only wait for her to go back and let the boss decide. However, they did not know if the boss would punish her or not. Perhaps, at most, he would deduct her salary for two months. However, Lisa¡¯s actions were definitely shameful in the industry. If she couldn¡¯t get the orders in her hands now, she definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to get new ones in the future. In short, her future path would definitely not be so easy. Everyone present had a scale in their hearts, but no one said it. Anhao didn¡¯t want to continue talking about this matter. She had already proved her innocence. As for Lisa, she couldn¡¯t force her. She could only let the other designers present evaluate it themselves. Just as Anhao was about to walk off the stage, Lisa suddenly stared at her back and said fiercely,¡±Gu Anhao, remember what I said just now. Don¡¯t think that this picture can prove anything. It¡¯s just to prove that this picture is yours. I¡¯m just using it casually. It¡¯s not plagiarism!¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned to look at need to correct Miss Lisa¡¯s worldview. It¡¯s enough as long as everyone here understands what¡¯s going on. I just want to prove that the map is mine. 1 don¡¯t want to take you down, so you don¡¯t have to say so much to explain or correct your position.¡± ¡°You!¡± Lisa suddenly glared at her.¡± You¡¯re just a small designer who has only accepted one project. What right do you have to criticize me here? Wait until you get a bigger project¡­¡± ¡°A bigger project? How big is the project?¡± A cold voice came from behind the crowd. Lisa paused, and Anhao, who was about to walk off the stage, stopped in her tracks. When did Zuo Hancheng go there? Didn¡¯t he just go backstage? When did he walk out? Lisa turned around abruptly. The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng, she was at a loss for words when she saw his ice-cold black eyes. She could only hold it in and whisper,¡±Anyway, she won¡¯t be able to get a bigger deal than mine in her life..¡± Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: President Zuo’s Help (7) Chapter 552: President Zuo¡¯s Help (7) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hanchengs eyebrows twitched. His cold gaze swept across Lisa and finally landed on Anhao, who was standing on the stage. ¡°Miss Gu, don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. We are all newcomers in the industry. How can we compare to someone like her who has been in the industry for several years? She used such words to mock you. She¡¯s simply taking advantage of her seniority. ¡°A few young people below the stage couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and comforted Anhao. Anhao really didn¡¯t mind. Everyone had heard and seen this kind of thing, so they knew who was in the right and who wasn¡¯t. She was innocent now, so she didn¡¯t mind anything else. So she just smiled and was about to leave when Zuo Hanchengs voice rose again. Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters building in City A has been here for eight years. The reason why I¡¯m here today is to see if there¡¯s anyone whose design style suits my taste. It can also be considered as finding a qualified architect for the reconstruction plan of my company¡¯s headquarters building.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was not very loud, but because it was very quiet at the moment, everyone consciously did not interrupt him when he spoke, so his clear and cold voice was very clear in everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°The reason why President Zuo helped Miss Gu just now was precisely because her work was to my liking. With this evidence, she did not disappoint me. She is indeed the original designer of this design. Therefore, I don¡¯t mind announcing in advance that I¡¯ll hire Gu Anhao as the designer for the reconstruction project of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters in the next three years. ¡± Anhao¡¯s back stiffened, and she turned her eyes in Zuo Hanchengs direction. He didn¡¯t look at her. He was looking at Lisa, who had always been arrogant. He looked like he was smiling politely, but his smile was so warm and cold that it made people who were stared at by him shiver. Lisa¡¯s face turned completely pale in an instant. She took a step back as if she could not take it anymore and looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief. The other designers were so surprised that they started whispering to each other. Zuo Hancheng had always been a steady person. It was true that Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters had been around for eight years, but some companies had still been in use for decades. He was going to renovate it in eight years, and he even announced in public that Gu Anhao, a newcomer, would be the designer. Putting aside the fact that Gu Anhao¡¯s income would go straight to the seven-figure figure figure after she accepted this big deal, even her status in the industry would leap from a newcomer to a position that was even better than Lisa¡¯s in an instant. Zuo Hancheng was a man of principle. Why would he stand up for Gu Anhao twice today? However, when everyone looked at Zuo Hancheng, they saw that he was not looking in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction at all. It was as if there was no connection between him and Gu Anhao, or as if he was just standing up for a newcomer who had been wronged for no reason. Faced with Zuo Hanchengs status and aura, Lisa could not say a word. She could only grit her teeth and stomp her foot hard. She turned around and quickly walked out. None of the designers from Stars Corporation could stay in this conference any longer. The organizer waited for the people from Stars Corporation to leave and the atmosphere in the hall to stabilize a little before he asked in surprise,¡±¡¯President Zuo, you just said that Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters will be rebuilt. Is that true?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at Anhao from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he seemed to have inadvertently shifted his gaze to Anhao, who was standing by the stairs below the stage. Finally, his gaze fell on the organizer. His expression was calm, but his voice was cold and serious.¡±When have I ever joked in public?¡± The organizer smiled and looked at Gu Anhao, who seemed to be stunned by the golden pie that had fallen from the sky.¡±¡±Miss Gu, you¡¯re really blessed by luck! I didn¡¯t expect that such a small twist today would attract President Zuo¡¯s attention to you and your work. This is even rarer than winning the lottery! Anhao then turned around and looked in Zuo Hanchengs direction. However, she saw that he had already communicated with the person in charge of the venue beside him and did not look in her direction. It was clear that he did not mean to help her, but he also meant what he said today. The atmosphere gradually calmed down, but when she walked down the stage, the number of people surrounding her suddenly increased. Many people handed her business cards and introduced themselves. They even said that they wanted her to join some designer group to interact and become friends in the future. In short, Anhao had been confirmed by Zuo Hancheng as the designer of Shengling Group¡¯s remarriage project today. In the future, her income and status would definitely be higher and higher. If he did not hug her legs now, there would not even be a place to put a pendant on her legs in the future. Just look at Lisa¡¯s arrogance just now. She still dared to shout in the field after making such a mistake because she was flattered by everyone. Now that Anhao had risen to the top in an instant, everyone naturally had to fawn over her. Anhao was not used to this kind of situation. After exchanging a few polite words with them, she turned around and walked in Zuo Hanchengs direction. However, when she finally walked out of the crowd and walked over, she saw that Zuo Hanchengs figure had already disappeared. In the blink of an eye, she saw Lin Qing standing at the entrance of the backstage and pointing in the direction, meaning that President Zuo had already returned backstage. Anhao nodded. She knew that if she ran backstage in such an occasion, everyone would think too much. There was nothing wrong with Zuo Hanchengs attitude. Regardless of their relationship or whether he really wanted to help her, he had already paved the way for her if she wanted to stabilize the situation today and continue her career in the architectural design industry. She would have to depend on herself in the future. It was just like how he had agreed to divorce her and sponsor her to go to school in the United States. However, he only sponsored her to study abroad and did not care about anything else. A man like him was indeed too principled, so he was just helping her out today. He did not deliberately protect her. Anhao turned around and continued to communicate with the designers who had gathered around her. She felt that perhaps she should change her temper a little and not be too resistant to these strangers. If she was asked to join the group, she would join. If she was asked to communicate with them, she would communicate with them. Even if everyone came to curry favor with her because of her sudden rise in status, it was still much better than staying in a corner and being ignored. This world was so realistic. A long time ago, Zuo Hancheng had told her that the workplace was different from school.. Chapter 553 - Chapter 553: President Zuo’s Help (8) Chapter 553: President Zuo¡¯s Help (8) Translator: 549690339 After the opening ceremony of the conference, a few designers wanted to drag Anhao out for supper. Anhao had drunk a lot with Huang Amao last night, and her headache had not yet subsided. After all that had happened at the conference, she really did not want to go. However, he had just wanted to join the designer circle. It would not be good to reject him so bluntly. Anhao was talking to a few designers at the door. Suddenly, a black high-end business car drove over and flashed its headlights in her direction. The designers around her looked at the car curiously, but Anhao recognized it as the car that Zuo Hancheng had brought her to retrieve the computer. The black MPV stopped in front of Anhao, The door opened and Lin Qing got out of the car. ¡°Miss Gu.¡± In front of everyone, Lin Qing smiled and said politely,¡±¡¯If you don¡¯t have any other social events tonight, you can take our car back to the hotel. It just so happens that President Zuo wants to hear your thoughts on the company¡¯s reconstruction project.¡± Anhao knew that Lin Qing was helping her escape, but from their angle, they could not see Zuo Hancheng in the car. They could only see the driver. She nodded and said to the designers behind sorry, okay, I¡¯ll go with President Zuo¡¯s secretary first. Let¡¯s talk about supper another day. Anyway, it¡¯s just the opening ceremony today, and there are still two more days before it ends.¡¯ ¡°Alright then, let¡¯s meet another day. Remember to join the group.¡±The few designers had no choice but to let go of Anhao. They raised their hands and pointed at Anhao¡¯s phone, telling her not to forget to enter their designer chat group. Anhao smiled and nodded her head. It was only when the few of them turned around and left that she turned to look at Lin Qing,¡±¡±Sister Lin Qing, thank you so much for today.¡± ¡°Why thank me?¡± Without President Zuo¡¯s permission, how would I dare to help you?¡±Lin Qing said meaningfully, then gestured for her to get into the car.¡±¡±I wasn¡¯t helping you out just now. Get in the car. Since we¡¯re staying in the same hotel, we¡¯ll go back together.¡± Anhao looked up at the car in front of her and hesitated for a moment. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qing looked at Anhao strangely when he saw her unmoved expression. ¡°This place is not far from the hotel. I can go back by myself¡­¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? No matter what, President Zuo did you a big favor today. He won¡¯t eat you up.¡±Lin Qing smiled as he opened the door to the backseat.¡±¡±Hurry up and get in the car. It¡¯s going to rain soon. Go back to the hotel and rest early. There¡¯s an official exchange meeting tomorrow and the closing ceremony the day after tomorrow.¡± Since Lin Qing said this, Anhao couldn¡¯t get rid of her pride. Furthermore, if she turned around and left now, it would seem like she didn¡¯t appreciate it and was too coquettish. She had no choice but to walk to the back of the car. Just as she was about to get into the car, she saw Zuo Hancheng sitting on the leather chair behind the driver. He was calm and quiet. He did not look at her and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed. However, it was definitely not Lin Qings intention to suddenly stop the car. Lin Qing did not have the guts to do so. Anhao got into the car but tried to keep a distance from Zuo Hancheng. Fortunately, there was plenty of space in the minivan, and there were plenty of seats in the back. She sat on the leather chair opposite Zuo Hancheng and did not move or speak. She would rather Zuo Hancheng just sit there and fall asleep than to make the atmosphere awkward. Otherwise, she did not know what to say to Zuo Hancheng. If their eyes met, she would probably have nothing to say except thank you. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng did not intend to break the quiet atmosphere. After so many years, this was the first time the two of them were so close to each other in three years. In the space of the same car, the distance between them was less than one meter. It was as if she could breathe in the familiar scent on his body, the scent that used to give her a strong sense of security every time she smelled it. Lin Qing didn¡¯t say anything else after getting into the car. Lin Qing and the driver were very quiet. The air in the car wasn¡¯t as stuffy as other private cars, or there was the smell of air freshener and perfume. The car was very clean and there was no smell at all, so she could clearly feel Zuo Hanchengs aura. He did not sleep. After all, they had lived together for so long three years ago. There was a certain difference in the frequency of his breathing when he was asleep and when he was not asleep. However, he was very calm. It was obvious that he had no intention of opening his eyes to look at her. Anhao only hoped that time would pass quickly and that she could get to the hotel as soon as possible so that she could avoid this awkward and uncomfortable feeling. Finally, Anhao was about to open the car door when she saw that the chauffeur had already gotten out of the car and opened the door on Zuo Hanchengs side. The car was parked at a spot that was not suitable for her to open the door. Even if she opened the door, she could not get out. This was a spot that was close to the wall, so she could only follow Zuo Hancheng and get out from the other side of the car. After Zuo Hancheng got out of the car, Anhao picked up her bag and got out of the car. As the car door closed behind her, Zuo Hancheng, who had been walking in front without looking back, suddenly looked back. Anhao thought that they would not have much interaction on the way back and would return to the hotel to rest, so she had been looking for her room card. Suddenly, she felt Zuo Hanchengs gaze on her and she raised her head to meet his eyes. When she saw the coldness in his cold black eyes, her hand that was rummaging through her bag froze. When she finally found her room card, she slowly took it out and was about to turn around and enter the other elevator. She didn¡¯t want to take the same elevator as Zuo Han. However, Lin Qing asked her curiously when she was about to turn around,¡±¡±Miss Gu, that elevator can only go to the odd floor. It can¡¯t go to the eighth floor.¡± Could Anhao say that she would rather climb the stairs than take the same elevator as Zuo Hancheng? However, when Zuo Hancheng looked back, it was as if he was just looking back inadvertently. He did not look at her intentionally or do anything intentionally. Seeing that he had already entered the elevator, the driver was waiting for them at the elevator door. In order not to delay the time for the others upstairs to use the elevator, Anhao could not dawdle any longer and could only follow Lin Qing. The moment she stepped into the elevator, Anhao instinctively went behind Zuo Hancheng and stood behind him to look at his back. It was much more comfortable for her than standing in front of him. This man was tall and straight as usual. He stood behind him and when he looked up, he could only see his shoulders.. Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Zuo Hancheng’s Ambiguity (1) Chapter 554: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Ambiguity (1) Translator: 549690339 It was very quiet in the elevator. Both Lin Qing and the driver consciously stood on both sides of the front and did not look back at them. Anhao stood behind Zuo Hancheng, holding her breath as she waited to reach the eighth floor. However, as the elevator slowly rose, Zuo Hanchengs cold voice sounded at the same time,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you apply for a job at the reconstruction project of the government and the Construction Bureau? Why did he suddenly submit it to Stars Corporation?¡± This question really didn¡¯t make Anhao feel awkward at all! Instead, she felt that Zuo Hanchengs question was too deliberate! She glanced at his back again. She was very open about this matter and was not afraid that the people from F would find out. After all, before she was officially hired, she had the right to submit to any company. ¡°That day at the face-to-face meeting, President Zuo, your attitude made me think that I didn¡¯t pass your interview.¡±Anhao said,¡± I still have to eat. I can¡¯t keep waiting for a result that is likely to be negative, so 1 created another opportunity for myself. I submitted a design draft before Stars Corporation¡¯s recruitment ended. But I didn¡¯t expect such a mess to happen.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, the elevator stopped on the eighth floor. Lin Qing and the driver walked out first. Zuo Hancheng walked out without turning back. Anhao glanced at his back and deliberately slowed down her pace, not wanting to be too synchronized with them. Of course, Zuo Hancheng did not wait for her. It was as if the question in the elevator earlier was just a casual question, and it was also a doubt in his heart. Anhao lingered in the corridor for a while until Zuo Hancheng had returned to his room. Lin Qing turned to look in Anhao¡¯s direction from outside the door. Seeing that she was still lingering near the elevator, he smiled. Although this girl had grown a lot, she was still a little childish. After all, she was only twenty-three years old¡­ However, this situation was indeed awkward. If he and the driver weren¡¯t there, would Anhao still be in such an awkward situation? It seemed that he and the driver should be more transparent in the future. Seeing that everyone had returned to their rooms, Anhao took the room card and went to her own room. However, her room was right next to Zuo Hanchengs. After she entered the room and turned on the lights, she glanced at the wall for some reason. A person like Zuo Hancheng shouldn¡¯t have the strange habit of eavesdropping through the wall, right? He was a man who had always been a gentleman. It was impossible for such a thing to happen to him. Of course, the so-called gentleman ruled out the matter in bed. Realizing what she was thinking, Anhao quickly walked to the bed and threw her bag down. She raised her hand to pat her inexplicably hot face and turned around to take a shower. When she came out, she picked up her computer and was about to check her email again. Today¡¯s incident was a reminder that she had to save her design drawings well in the future to prevent such a thing from happening again. As soon as she turned on her computer, she received a call from one of the designers she had just met, asking her if she wanted to join the group. Anhao agreed, and after memorizing the group number, she logged into her social media app and entered the group. The group was in an uproar. There were all kinds of welcoming greetings, as well as various praises for Anhao¡¯s lack of stage fright in front of Lisa today. She really should thank Zuo Hancheng for helping her out. She should also thank Zuo Hancheng for throwing such a huge golden pie at her. Otherwise, she would not have been able to integrate into the industry so quickly and become well-known by so many designers so quickly. Although the workplace was too realistic, Anhao enjoyed the current way of reading other people¡¯s words without using too much of her brain. After she entered the group, she greeted him and put her laptop aside. She turned around and went to pack her luggage. Since she was going to stay here for three days, she should take out her previous set of clothes and wash them. The other clothes should be sorted out so that they wouldn¡¯t go out. Half an hour later, when she was done organizing, she looked back and saw that there were already more than a thousand messages in the group chat. Twenty to thirty designers kept talking about what happened tonight. Occasionally, they would mention Lisa¡¯s expression when she was exposed. There were also many people who were already unhappy with Lisa who kept talking about all kinds of disgust and dissatisfaction towards Lisa, that pretentious woman. Indeed, it was easier for women to communicate when there was gossip. Anhao casually glanced at them and saw that they were still discussing about tonight¡¯s matter. They kept tagging her, wanting Anhao to express her thoughts. She even asked Anhao if she wanted to build her own design team when she went to Shengling Group to do renovation projects in the future. She also asked if she needed people and if she wanted to ask them to go with the design team. If Shengling Group really wanted to rebuild, Anhao would definitely not be able to do it alone. A design team was necessary, and Shengling Group would definitely fund her to build a team. Anhao finally understood why these people were trying to curry favor with her. Shengling Group was such a big piece of fat meat. No wonder Lisa was so shocked that she couldn¡¯t say anything. It had to be said that Zuo Hanchengs words seemed to be gentle and cool, but they were very lethal. Although he had slapped Lisa in the face, he did not lose his composure. Anhao didn¡¯t want to read the messages in the group anymore. Just as she was about to close it, someone suddenly tagged her again. ¡°Anhao, you and President Zuo are both from A City. Did you know President Zuo before?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Anhao, President Zuo suddenly helped you. Is it because you have some kind of relationship with President zuo?¡± In an instant, the group started gossiping again. It was even more heated than the discussion about Lisa just now. Anhao stared at the screen for a while before she started typing. Anhao: ¡± 1 met President Zuo at the interview for the reconstruction project of the Ministry of Finance and the Construction Bureau. He was the judge that day and was barely satisfied with my work. Maybe it was because he had seen my two works that he believed in me and spoke up for me tonight. Besides, don¡¯t men always have a heroic complex? At that time, Lisa¡¯s team¡¯s words were too harsh. President Zuo might have made such a decision because he couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. I think it was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t run into a dead rat, you ran into a golden rat!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Anhao. You¡¯re so lucky! President Zuo has never meddled in other people¡¯s business¡­¡± ¡°By the way, speaking of President Zuo, do you think he¡¯s married? 1 heard that she¡¯s already in her early thirties¡­¡± ¡°l heard that they are married. I seem to have heard of it a few years ago¡­¡± ¡°Now I heard that President Zuo also has someone by his side. How can a person like him not have a woman by his side¡­Don¡¯t even think about it, hahaha¡­ She knew that whenever there were women around, Zuo Hancheng would definitely be brought up. Anhao turned off her computer when she saw that they were not going to get close to her anymore. She probably couldn¡¯t sleep well today because of her headache. She got up and opened the door to ask for some medicine to relieve her headache from room service.. Chapter 555 - Chapter 555: Zuo Hancheng’s Ambitious Closeness (2) Chapter 555: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Ambitious Closeness (2) Translator: 549690339 Just as she opened the door, she suddenly saw Lin Qing holding a small plastic bag in his hand. There were a few small white pills inside, and it looked like he was about to knock on the door next door. Anhao looked at her in confusion. She remembered that Zuo Hancheng had gastric problems, so she asked casually,¡±¡±ls it stomach medicine?¡± ¡°Sleeping pills.¡± Lin Qing looked at her. Anhao¡¯s eyes immediately paused. She saw that there were three sleeping pills inside, which were about three days ¡®worth. She looked at the door next door in confusion.¡±How could it be sleeping pills?¡± She did not remember Zuo Hancheng suffering from insomnia. ¡°President Zuo has been suffering from insomnia for the past three years. He often can¡¯t sleep at night. He has to attend a lot of meetings and social gatherings when he¡¯s out these few days. It¡¯s fine if he¡¯s usually in a bad mental state, but now that he¡¯s out, he has to sleep even if he¡¯s forced to. Otherwise, he won¡¯t be able to concentrate on his work during the day, so he asked me to go to the pharmacy outside and get three days of sleeping pills.¡± Lin Qing turned around and pressed the doorbell of Zuo Hanchengs room. Anhao suddenly closed her door, but she didn¡¯t close it tightly. After the door next door opened and closed, she peeked out again. She saw that Lin Qing had finished delivering the medicine and was standing outside the door next door. He turned to look in Anhao¡¯s direction and smiled gently and politely at her. Anhao saw that the door next door was closed and walked out. She looked at the door with uncertainty and then at Lin Qing,¡±¡±Does he take sleeping pills so often? Would eating too much of that thing be bad for the body? Moreover, I heard that although sleeping pills can force people to fall asleep, they will be more tired after waking up. How can that be¡­¡± ¡°So Miss Gu was worried about President Zuo.¡±Lin Qing suddenly smiled and said. Anhao¡¯s expression froze. She paused for a moment and then pursed her lips. It seemed that she was indeed too meddlesome. Lin Qing was reminding her, so Anhao did not say anything more. She turned around and was about to look for room service to get medicine to relieve her headache. Suddenly, Lin Qings deliberately lowered voice came from behind, ¡±President Zuo¡¯s insomnia started three years and two months ago.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks but did not turn back. Lin Qing walked over to Anhao¡¯s side,¡±¡±Miss Gu, have you ever seen a human swallowing pills?¡± ¡± In the first year after you left, President Zuo almost couldn¡¯t sleep at night. He ate overtime and stomach medicine like he was eating. At first, he resisted sleeping pills, but Wenner couldn¡¯t persuade him. That year, we thought that President Zuo might not be able to endure it.¡± Lin Qings voice was very light, but it was clearly transmitted into Anhao¡¯s ears, ¡°¡®¡±I often see President Zuo swallow pills when he is in extreme pain. It seems that such bitter pills will only be more bitter after chewing. Only then will he be more awake and able to persist.¡± ¡°After that, President Zuo¡¯s condition gradually improved a lot. He no longer worked overtime so hard. Other than the symptoms of insomnia, he almost returned to normal.¡¯ Anhao was about to say something when the phone in her pocket started vibrating. She looked apologetically at Lin Qing, who wanted to continue speaking. She picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. Her gaze changed slightly and she quickly nodded apologetically at Lin Qing before turning around and walking back to her room to answer the call. After entering the room, Anhao picked up the phone and said nervously,¡±¡±Hello? Did you find out something?¡± The man on the other end of the phone was a medical firm that she had entrusted before she returned to the country to help investigate her mother, An Ping, in the past. There had been no news for the past few days, and she had no place to start. She had been waiting for a call from the medical firm, but there had been no news from them. She thought that she had been deceived. This agency was clearly very famous in the United States and had many hidden branches in China. She could investigate the matter of An Ping in the United States and China. After waiting for so long, they finally called. Anhao only hoped that it was good news. ¡°Miss Gu, I¡¯m very sorry. Based on the various information you provided about Anping, we found out about her death. We originally wanted to start investigating based on the hospital where she died, but now there¡¯s a very important problem. ¡± ¡°What problem?¡± ¡°Although the news of your mother¡¯s death spread, you also said that she fell down the stairs in front of you and lay in a pool of blood without moving. After she was sent to the hospital, she was declared to be unable to be rescued and sent to the morgue. However, what we found out is very strange. The doctors who participated in your mother¡¯s emergency treatment have all disappeared¡­Also, the doctor who issued the death certificate for your mother¡¯s body has disappeared. All the doctors related to your mother¡¯s death have mysteriously disappeared.¡± Anhao frowned when she heard that.¡± ¡°Miss Gu, please don¡¯t blame us for making this matter sound too mysterious. Before we investigated this matter, we thought it was just a simple case. We just wanted to investigate a person¡¯s past, but we couldn¡¯t find out anything about your mother¡¯s past. The reason why all are strange and missing, all are because of the year, all are involved, all are mother, all are doctors, all are that year, all have left that home, hospital, all are familiar with each other, all are not aware of each other, all are gone, all are missing, all are connected, all are not.¡± ¡°Oh yes, there is a doctor¡¯s family who knows where the doctor went. It is said that he received a sum of money and planned to study in a medical school in England. However, there was no news after he went abroad. It has been more than eight years now and he has never been contacted.¡± ¡°Why is this happening?¡± ¡°This is also what we find strange, so we want to tell you now, Miss Gu. Your mother¡¯s case is probably not a simple case. Moreover, there should be someone behind your mother¡¯s scenes. From her identity being tampered with to her death, there must be someone with a very powerful background involved. Now, we need to continue investigating, but it may take a certain amount of time.¡¯ ¡°Are you guys suspecting something?¡± Anhao asked as she gripped her phone tightly. How long would it take? What exactly did you investigate during this period of time?¡± ¡°We suspect that your mother is not dead.¡± Anhao almost held the phone in her hand firmly. She grabbed it tightly again but she couldn¡¯t say anything for a long time. She could only look at the dark night outside the window in confusion. Her mind was dark and she didn¡¯t know how many memories were swirling in it. How was this possible? More than eight years ago, she had seen her mother being pushed down the stairs by Gu Tianming with her own eyes. Later, she had also seen her mother¡¯s diagnosis of malignant tumor. Even if she had not died when she fell down the stairs, she would definitely not have lived until now.. Chapter 556 - Chapter 556: Zuo Hancheng’ s Ambiguity (3) Chapter 556: Zuo Hancheng¡¯ s Ambiguity (3) Translator: 549690339 However, the matter they were talking about was indeed too suspicious. How could all the doctors who participated in her mother¡¯s emergency treatment suddenly disappear in the past few years? It had only been eight years, not twenty or thirty years. A doctor had to stay in the same hospital for a long time after taking exams and obtaining various qualifications. There was indeed a problem with all of them suddenly disappearing. ¡°If my mother isn¡¯t dead, where can she go?¡± If her mother hadn¡¯t died, why had the car left her in the Gu family for so many years and let her suffer so much? She had always thought that her mother was worried that she would have no one to rely on in the future, so she insisted on sending her to the Gu family. However, it seemed that this was not the case. Then why did he push her into the abyss of the Gu family? ¡°Miss Gu, you don¡¯t have to think too much about it. Everything now is just our guess. After all, these things need to be sorted out one by one. We also need you to cooperate with us during the later stages of the investigation. This isn¡¯t something that can be sorted out in a day or two.¡± ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s anything you need me to do, feel free to look for me, but you have to do it as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Miss Gu, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re also very curious about this matter and are also anxious to know the truth. Therefore, we won¡¯t let any factors affect our speed. ¡± After hanging up the phone, Anhao felt her calm heart begin to tighten, as if it was being tied up by an elastic band. She pulled it hard, and after pulling it together, it was tight and painful, but she didn¡¯t know how to break free, What kind of background did her mother have? Regardless of whether her mother was dead or not, Anhao had always had a huge question. Why did she send her to the Gu family? She was clearly not Gu Tianmings child at all. Late at night. Anhao woke up from her bed. In her dream, Anping was standing in front of her, alive and well. However, she could not touch her even if she wanted to. She kept calling for her mother, but Anping ignored her. When An Ping finally opened her mouth, Anhao, who was suddenly caught off guard by the bloody mouth in front of her, suddenly opened her eyes. She sat up straight from the bed, covered in cold sweat. She looked around, but there was no one around. She reached out to turn on the light at the head of the bed, got out of bed, and drank a cup of wine. She turned around to open the window, wanting to get some wind to wake herself up from the nightmare. As soon as she opened the bed, she suddenly realized that there was light from the next room on the balcony. Anhao was stunned and turned to look at the time. It was already half past two in the morning. Zuo Hancheng was still awake? With his sleeping habits, he would never turn on such a bright light if he was asleep. Anhao leaned against the window and looked at the balcony next door. She did not see anyone on the balcony. Zuo Hancheng probably did not come out, so she did not go to the balcony of her room. She leaned against the window and looked at the light carefully. ¡°President Zuo¡¯s insomnia started three years and two months ago.¡± ¡°Miss Gu, have you ever seen a human swallowing pills?¡± ¡± In the first year after you left, President Zuo almost couldn¡¯t sleep at night. He ate overtime and stomach medicine like he was eating. At first, he resisted sleeping pills, but Wenner couldn¡¯t persuade him¡­¡± Lin Qings words suddenly echoed in her ears. Anhao¡¯s expression froze for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, she finally called room service and asked them to bring two glasses of fresh milk. Fresh milk is placed in the fridge, when you take it, it¡¯s a bit cold. This luxurious suite has a simple kitchen, you can cook some things. You¡¯re safe, I¡¯ll send them to the supermarket below to buy a bag of lily powder and almonds. After that, I¡¯ll take it back to the kitchen to heat up the milk. After heating it up, she took a sip. It was not very sweet, but Zuo Hancheng should be able to drink it. Lily and almonds were good for sleeping. With warm milk, it was much better than sleeping pills. Judging from the current situation, Zuo Hancheng should be immune to sleeping pills. Otherwise, he would not be awake until now. After cooling the milk to a moderate temperature, she carried a large glass of milk out of the room. When she reached Zuo Hanchengs room, she raised her hand and was about to press the doorbell when the phone suddenly rang in the room. Hearing that it was Zuo Hanchengs phone ringing, Anhao¡¯s hand hesitated for a moment. She wanted to wait for him to answer the phone before pressing the doorbell. As soon as she put down her hand, she heard Zuo Hanchengs hoarse and cold voice from inside,¡±¡±Miss Bai? Why are you calling so late?¡± Anhao clearly heard the voice inside, but her expression didn¡¯t change much. She immediately turned around and walked towards her room. She raised the glass of milk in her hand and gulped it down. After entering the room, she placed the empty glass on the shoe cabinet beside her. She closed the door and walked straight to her bed without looking back. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep, not intending to think about anything else. Next door, Zuo Hancheng picked up the letter from the Land Bureau of T City in the afternoon and glanced at it.¡±¡±Since you¡¯re in a hurry to get the serial number of this letter, you didn¡¯t come when the Land Bureau of T City asked you to come for a meeting two days ago. Now, you¡¯re asking me to help you bring it back on the way, and you¡¯re calling me so late at night to ask for the serial number.¡¯ As he was speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being slammed. Zuo Hancheng recognized the sound coming from Anhao¡¯s room next door, so he casually told the person on the other end the number of the letter and hung up the phone. She turned around and walked to the door. She opened it and took a look outside. She saw the tightly shut door next door. After looking at it for a while, she turned around and walked to the window. She saw the light from Anhao¡¯s room reflected on the balcony next door. But still not one minute, the lights in the room next door, then directly turn off, return to one piece of silence and darkness. Anhao drank a glass of milk. Logically speaking, she should be able to fall asleep soon. However, perhaps because he was too full, he felt uncomfortable lying on the bed. He turned around and opened his eyes to look out the window, only to find that the light in the next room had gone out. As expected, Lin Qings words were just to coax her. How could she believe the words of someone who was smooth and slick in the workplace?! Her heart, which had been dead silent for the past three years, was inexplicably stirred by Lin Qing. In addition, Zuo Hancheng had helped her at the opening ceremony of the exchange last night. She thought that he had really been waiting for her to come back.. In the end, Gu Anhao, you idiot, why did you boil milk at midnight! Crazy! She couldn¡¯t fall asleep, so she picked up the pillow at the head of the bed and threw it in front of the bed. She wanted to use the strength of the pillow to close the gap between the curtains, but she used too much force. Not only did the curtains not close, but she also fell back and hit her head on the head of the bed. It was so painful that she fell on the bed and covered her head as she cursed.. Chapter 557 - Chapter 557: Zuo Hancheng l s Ambiguity (4) Chapter 557: Zuo Hancheng l s Ambiguity (4) Translator: 549690339 The night before, Anhao had a good night¡¯s sleep. First, she was woken up by a nightmare, and then inexplicably, she could not fall asleep. When she woke up in the morning, there was still a bump on the back of her head. Fortunately, she had long hair now. Just by casually tying her hair up at the back of her head, it was not obvious how miserable she was last night. In the morning, she deliberately delayed going out a little and staggered the time for breakfast. Later, she realized that she had done something unnecessary. Zuo Hancheng did not have breakfast in the hotel, so when Anhao rushed to the hotel¡¯s restaurant, she took a few leftover toast slices and jam and ate a few mouthfuls. She secretly sighed that she was really unlucky to meet Zuo Hancheng. The conference would last for about three days. The closing ceremony would end tomorrow morning. All the main procedures and the content of the exchange would be held today. Zuo Hancheng had already appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony last night, so it seemed like he didn¡¯t have to come today. When Anhao arrived at the venue, she didn¡¯t see him. Many designers came over and dragged Anhao to see the various architectural models and content at the exchange meeting. They also went to the small venue where the designers and the interpreter gave lectures. Today, the designer from Stars Corporation did not come. Anhao did not intend to ask the organizer how Lisa¡¯s matter was resolved in the end. Without asking, the gossipy designers around her had already told her the answer. It was said that after the Stars Corporation¡¯s Vice President heard the news, he rushed to T City yesterday night to meet with the organizers. No one knew how they negotiated, but he took away all the designers overnight. Today, those people did not show up, but the Stars Corporation¡¯s name was still on the venue. It was obvious that the Stars Corporation¡¯s Vice President always came with an apology and did not fall out with the organizers. If that was the case, Lisa would probably suffer. Anhao had been listening to the discussions of the designers. The exchange meeting that day was also very successful. There was not as much chaos as last night. However, after what happened last night, Anhao was recognized by many people. There were quite a few construction companies in the venue that had good relations with the organizers. They all had some interest in Anhao and wanted her to try out at their company after the renovation project in Zheng F was completed. Of course, because Zuo Hancheng had already announced her next job last night, they did not dare to snatch her away openly. Therefore, they only handed Anhao their business cards and whispered their intentions. Anhao accepted the job politely. After all, she had yet to get a glimpse of the situation at Zuo Hanchengs side. Who knew if it was really going to be rebuilt? After she finished her work at the political department, she really needed to find a more stable job. Besides, she had already left three years ago. It was impossible for her to come back three years later and still eat and drink Zuo Hanchengs food. If she really relied on the promise he made in public last night to wait for his company to be rebuilt, she might not have to wait until the next day. When Goodnight was ready to attend the dinner party of the exchange meeting, she did not prepare a gown and only wore a tight dress that she bought at the last minute. She originally wanted to buy a looser dress, but she could not wear too casually for a dinner party. Without a gown, she could only buy a dress that was suitable for the dinner party, so she had to buy a tight dress. However, she had never worn this type of dress before. It was her first time wearing such a tight dress, and she did not expect it to really suit her figure. In the past, she always felt that she was on the thin side. After going to the United States for three years, she had lost five to six pounds. Therefore, in the past few years, other than the professional clothes she had to wear to work, she usually only wore flat shoes, shirts, and jeans. Just like when she was in school, she had never considered buying a dress. At the dinner party, everyone was already drinking and chatting in groups of three to five. After Anhao walked in, she was about to go around to the front to get a few desserts to fill her stomach so that she wouldn¡¯t have nothing to eat when she went back late at night. Suddenly, a figure in the crowd attracted her attention. She looked up and saw Bai Weiwei, whom she had only seen twice but was not familiar with, standing there. Bai Weiwei was the Deputy Director of the Construction Bureau of City A, and City T was in the same province as City A. It was only natural that she would show up at such a major architectural design exchange in City T. However, she did not show up yesterday, so he thought that Bai Weiwei did not attend. He didn¡¯t expect her to come now. Anhao looked at Bai Weiwei¡¯s direction quietly and looked around. She did not see Zuo Hancheng, but since Bai Weiwei had arrived at this banquet, Zuo Hancheng would not miss it. She did not know if Bai Weiwei was aware that she was married to Zuo Hancheng three years ago, but Anhao did not want to meet her. She turned around and picked up a small piece of cake before walking to a place further away from the door to avoid the crowd. However, just as she reached the door, she suddenly saw Lin Qing and a few of Zuo Hanchengs staff walking in. The first thing Lin Qing saw was Anhao. He was stunned for a moment and smiled at her. Just as he was about to come over to greet her, Anhao raised her eyebrows and pointed in the direction of the washroom, indicating that she was going to the washroom immediately. Lin Qing could only stop and talk to the staff beside him for a while before walking inside. Zuo Hanchengs figure appeared casually at the door. At this moment, Anhao was already on guard. She stood in the most inconspicuous corner and tried her best not to bump into them again. After Zuo Hancheng entered the banquet hall, he did not look away. As usual, many people in charge of the banquet hall and people from all walks of life came to welcome him. Bai Weiwei, who was talking to others from a distance, also walked over with a smile. She looked like she was very close to Zuo Hancheng. She did not greet him like others did. Instead, she looked at Zuo Hancheng with a smile and said,¡±So, I¡¯m still here, right? Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m really so spoiled that I¡¯m too lazy to even come out to participate in the exchange meeting. Two days ago, I caught a cold and couldn¡¯t get out of bed. You don¡¯t know how to care about me. I called you in the middle of the night to ask for a letter number and was scolded by you¡­¡± When the people around them heard this, they immediately looked at Bai Weiwei with ambiguous eyes. Then, they looked back and forth between her and Zuo Hancheng, as if they understood what she meant. ¡°Since Deputy Chief Bai already has someone in mind, we don¡¯t dare to court him anymore. How can we pursue President Zuo¡¯s woman?¡±The men around them laughed and said,¡±There are so many beautiful women here. It seems like I have to change my target!¡¯ However, the people present were all successful people. They were used to ignoring the women who deliberately stood in the conspicuous places. After looking at a remote place, they suddenly saw a figure eating cake in the slightly dark place in front of the door. Their eyes lit up..¡±Which designer is that girl from? You have a good figure!¡¯ Chapter 558 - Chapter 558: Zuo Hancheng’s Ambiguity (5) Chapter 558: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Ambiguity (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was inexplicably called out. She immediately looked up from the round cake that she had been fighting for a long time. At this moment, a laser light flashed across the field and shone on Anhao¡¯s face. When the few people saw Anhao¡¯s face, they immediately recognized her. ¡°Miss Gu?¡± Last night, Anhao had benefited from Lisa¡¯s time. Many people remembered her name, but yesterday, she was wearing an inconspicuous professional suit. At most, she looked beautiful. Now that she was wearing this tight-fitting dress, although her figure was slightly thin, she was graceful and attractive. In the eyes of those men, she instantly attracted their attention. They all looked in her direction with a smile of interest. Anhao put down the cake at the same time and nodded in their direction politely. At the same time, she turned around and wanted to mingle with the crowd beside her to chat. She did not want to continue being the subject of their conversation. Initially, she was only listening to the conversation as she ate the cake. However, at this moment, those gazes were glued to her like glue. When she felt Zuo Hanchengs gaze on her, she quickly jumped into the crowd, picked up the champagne glass, and calmly chatted with the designers. However, even though Anhao had already walked to the side of the crowd, her more mature and slender figure compared to three years ago instantly attracted the hearts of the men here. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her without batting an eyelid. Bai Weiwei, on the other hand, chatted with a friend in the industry beside her for a while. Then, as if she had remembered something, she suddenly said,¡±¡±Hancheng, I heard that you saw a talented person at the scene yesterday as the designer of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters reconstruction project. I have never heard of Shengling Group¡¯s reconstruction.¡± ¡°The company¡¯s reconstruction project was already planned two years ago, but it was not fully confirmed yet.¡±Zuo Hancheng replied and saw Lin Qing greeting a few industry friends in front of him. Those people had already noticed his arrival. After greeting President Zuo¡¯s secretary, they turned around and walked over. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng and those people had something important to discuss, Bai Weiwei tactfully turned around and greeted them before turning to the other side to talk to others. She only occasionally talked to them and occasionally looked in Zuo Hanchengs direction. The lights in the venue were reflected from the huge crystal chandelier in the middle and shone on Zuo Hanchengs elegant body. His elegant and slender figure stood not far from the door, and the lights seemed to give him a layer of halo. It made him look even more elegant, noble, and calm. This man would always be the center of attention wherever he went, but he always kept his edge back, accumulating all his sharpness. Time and experience had long polished him into a delicate and perfect top-grade jade. No one could compare to his beauty and nobility. ¡°President Zuo, it¡¯s all thanks to Sheng Lings help in setting up the Eastern Seaview Village case. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid we wouldn¡¯t have been able to get this contract this year.¡± In front of Zuo Hancheng, a middle-aged man with a good bearing said politely and gratefully. At the same time, he reached out to shake Zuo Hanchengs hand.¡± It¡¯s the luckiest thing that has happened to our Huiyue company in so many years to be able to obtain the funding and training of Shengling Group¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were calm.¡± Your company has an excellent reputation in developing the resort, and it¡¯s also ranked in the top three in the industry. It¡¯s also Shengling Group¡¯s honor to be able to cooperate with your company. Everyone learns from each other and supports each other to create good results. The benefits are split equally. There¡¯s really no need to thank you. President Chen, you¡¯re really too kind.¡± President Chen of Ye Huiyue Company smiled as he took the two wine glasses from the tray in the Waiter¡¯s hand. He smiled politely and handed one to Zuo Hancheng.¡±l haven¡¯t had the chance to see President Zuo since the last financing project. It¡¯s not easy to see you today, so I¡¯d like to invite President Zuo to have a drink.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng took the goblet and smiled faintly. From Anhao¡¯s direction, she could see Zuo Hancheng slowly swirling the champagne in the bottom of his glass. She could see the faint smile on his handsome side profile. She could see the calmness when he picked up the glass and drank it all. She could see the extraordinary aura he had in the crowd. He was clearly integrated into the lively atmosphere, but she felt that he was standing in the crowd coldly and perfunctorily. For a person who knew how to behave in such an occasion, no matter if he was being envied, secretly exposed, secretly harmed, or being flattered in public, he would never feel embarrassed or feel that he was too high-profile. Even though Zuo Hancheng did not really blend in with the occasion, he was still someone that everyone wanted to win over. Three years ago, Zuo Hancheng had already become one of the top business tycoons in the country. He was already an unshakable presence in this coastal city. Now, he had led Shengling Group in China for eight years. His status in the industry was not just at the stage three years ago. Now, not only did he have a lot of connections, but he was also so complicated that no one dared to offend him. Just him alone, just Shengling Group, was enough to shake the domestic business world. When he was in America, Shengling Group was already a legend in Europe. Now, in just a few years, the most complicated and difficult region in Asia had long been imprinted with Shenglings label. Such a man who stood at the peak looked calm and indifferent, but no one could understand him. ¡°Miss Gu.¡± Anhao was holding the same goblet. She wanted to find a place to rest after the most important hour of the night and stop walking in the crowd. Suddenly, the person in charge of a construction company walked over. As he walked over, he clinked the wine glass in his hand with hers, making a clear sound. Anhao¡¯s gaze paused, and she suddenly turned to look at the person. The person was standing very close to her, and it was obvious that he was here to strike up a conversation with her. When he clinked glasses with her, he was about to put his arm around her shoulder. Anhao quickly took a small step to the side, and at the same time, she turned her eyes and smiled calmly. ¡°President He. ¡± President He was a big shot from a construction company that the organizers had specially invited over tonight. Although his status was not as high as Zuo Hanchengs, he was still the center of attention. He had been there yesterday and had even handed her his business card. He had even introduced himself briefly when he handed her his business card, so Anhao remembered him.. Chapter 559 - Chapter 559: Zuo Hancheng’s Ambiguity (6) Chapter 559: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Ambiguity (6) Translator: 549690339 However, when President He heard that Anhao remembered him, he immediately smiled and raised his glass.¡±Miss Gu, you have a good memory. There are hundreds of people in this venue, but we meet again in the vast sea of people.¡± This old trick of picking up girls was really¡­ When Anhao was studying in the United States, there were often various celebration banquets in school, as well as banquets at internship companies. It was not that she had never been hit on before. The most unexpected time was when she was held by a teacher who was only five years older than her and kissed on the back of her hand. However, she had never seen such an old-fashioned and direct way of hitting on someone. Anhao smiled and clinked her glass with his. There was only a little wine in the champagne glass anyway, so it wouldn¡¯t be a problem to drink a few glasses. It was just a glass of wine, so she was very straightforward. Seeing that she was so straightforward and seemed to be in a good mood, President He took the opportunity to say, ¡°Our company is interested in participating in the reconstruction of the gymnasium and cultural center in City F of City A. We hope to have the opportunity to meet Miss Gu in the future. If we meet again after returning to City A, I wonder if Miss Gu would do us the honor of coming out for a meal?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Anhao smiled calmly. Her attitude was so gentle that no one could tell what she was thinking. Anyway, she would not have the chance to meet this President He again after returning to A City. If she rejected such an obvious flirting and wooing, she would embarrass President He, who had a good relationship with the organizers. At that time, she would be the one who would not be able to bear the consequences. If she agreed casually now, she could just take a detour when she saw the people from their company. Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t take it seriously for too long. President He saw that she was so easily hooked and immediately took two glasses of wine.¡±Then it¡¯s settled. Shall we have another drink?¡± Anhao waved her hand.¡± No, I¡¯m not a good drinker. I¡¯ve already had a few glasses. If I drink any more, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to find a corner to blow the cold wind to wake up. The event tonight hasn¡¯t officially started yet. If I embarrass myself like this, I¡¯ll embarrass my boss.¡±¡± Seeing that she was so sincere and embarrassed, President He did not force her anymore in order to show his demeanor. Instead, he directly drank two glasses of wine and said happily,¡±You can take this glass of wine. I¡¯ll drink it for you.¡± Help her drink? Did he think that he had successfully seduced her and could casually block the wine for his ¡°woman¡±? And it was his own wine. She wanted to be cool, but she still acted so lowly. Anhao was really smiling now, but the other party couldn¡¯t tell if she was laughing or if she was in a good mood. When Bai Weiwei was passing by, she suddenly glanced at Anhao. Anhao didn¡¯t pay much attention to President He. When she felt Bai Weiwei¡¯s gaze, Anhao immediately turned to meet her gaze. Bai Weiwei immediately gave her a polite smile, as if she had met her twice and had some impression of her. It was a polite greeting. In fact, Anhao thought that Bai Weiwei was quite interesting. Since she was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s woman, it was impossible for her not to know that Zuo Hancheng was once married. How could a woman who wanted to stand by Zuo Hanchengs side not investigate his past relationship history? It might have been a coincidence that Bai Weiwei was staying at Luxury Court. After all, for a beauty with a prominent family background and an extraordinary status, there was indeed only a place like Luxury Court in the entire A City that was suitable for her. However, how could Bai Weiwei not know Gu Anhao? Had Bai Weiwei never investigated her? Anhao¡¯s gaze only lingered on Bai Weiwei for a moment. She recalled the time when Zuo Hancheng received Bai Weiwei¡¯s call in his room last night. She recalled the helpless smile in Zuo Hanchengs tone. She recalled Bai Weiwei¡¯s cold attitude towards her goddess and how she had said so many things in front of Zuo Hancheng. It seemed that they were really close. She hoped that Bai Weiwei was so pure and cold that she did not bother to investigate Zuo Hanchengs past, so she did not know about Gu Anhao¡¯s existence. Otherwise, Anhao felt that she might really have to be more cautious. After all, she had been shot in the back too many times in the past. If she met a woman with especially brilliant methods, a woman who was many levels higher than Bi Xue, she would not even know how she died in the end. After all, they were in an unfamiliar situation, so Anhao had been keeping her cool. Of course, she didn¡¯t want to go on stage to give evidence in public like last night for a second time. In such situations, being invisible was often the best protection for herself. However, in the evening, several organizers said that they would hold a banquet in the hotel behind the venue. Of course, not everyone was invited. Only some people with more outstanding status and some special connections were qualified to attend the banquet. Anhao initially thought that she did not have to go, but the organizers remembered what happened between her and Lisa last night. In order to express their apology, and because she was now the designer of Shengling Group¡¯s reconstruction project, Zuo Hancheng invited her directly. When Anhao arrived at the hotel where the banquet was held, she saw that although the hotel had already booked the entire venue, there were still a few luxurious private rooms. The organizer directly took her to the largest private room. As soon as she entered, she saw Hancheng sitting on the main seat. The moment Anhao walked in, his gaze swept past her, his slender fingers caressing the rim of the goblet on the table. The moment their eyes met, his fingers tapped lightly on the wall of the goblet twice. He looked so casual, but it was so meaningful that she could not understand. Anhao was too lazy to study his gaze. She only felt that Zuo Hancheng was noble and lazy tonight. He was sitting on the chair, leaning against the chair. He was obviously the most important person in the scene, but he seemed to be standing outside the crowd and watching the show. It was just that there was an inexplicable addition of him in this scene, so his gaze was even more meaningful. Anhao tried her best to pretend to be quiet and obedient at the banquet, not wanting to show off her brilliance. However, when the organizer saw the empty seat next to Zuo Hancheng, he was so excited that he forgot that it was a seat specially reserved for Bai Weiwei by the other person-in-charge. Seeing that there was no seat left, he directly asked Anhao to sit next to Zuo Hancheng. He even said that President Zuo had already appointed her, so she must remember to hug this God of Fortune tightly and not miss such a good opportunity. The organizer had just said it casually, but Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched when she heard the words ¡± God of Fortune.¡± She was embarrassed and had no choice but to walk over and sit beside Zuo Hancheng. A few people beside her cast a strange look at her.. Chapter 560 - Chapter 560: Zuo Hancheng’s Ambiguity (7) Chapter 560: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Ambiguity (7) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s instinct told her that this seat shouldn¡¯t be hers. It should be a seat that the other persons-in-charge of the organizers had specially reserved for someone else. After all, the seat next to Zuo Hancheng was not for just anyone. Of course, it was not reserved for her. She could understand these gazes. Just as she was thinking about it, the door of the private room opened. Bai Weiwei walked in while chatting gently with the person behind her. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. In order to avoid the awkwardness of being chased away later, she immediately stood up. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on the back of the chair behind her. When Bai Weiwei looked in that direction, the gentle smile in her eyes was replaced by a moment of surprise. However, she was well-mannered and when she saw that Anhao was unable to stand up due to Zuo Hanchengs sudden action, she smiled politely at Anhao. It was not that Anhao did not want to get up, but Zuo Hanchengs sudden action seemed to have brought her into his territory. He was the designer that she had appointed last night, so it was understandable that she would sit beside him. No matter how much the outside world said about his relationship with Bai Weiwei and how compatible they were, after all, they had not revealed their true ambiguous relationship in front of everyone. They were not husband and wife, so there was indeed no need to leave the seat for Bai Weiwei. Furthermore, the way Zuo Hancheng placed his arm on Gu Anhao¡¯s chair, those who didn¡¯t know better would have thought that Gu Anhao and him were a couple. The weird gazes gradually disappeared and they turned to look at Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei looked at them and opened her mouth to speak. Zuo Hancheng, however, did not seem to notice that Bai Weiwei had put on makeup. Instead, he leaned towards Anhao and asked in front of everyone in the room,¡±¡±Have you considered the design proposal?¡± His voice was cold and clear, and no ambiguous elements could be seen. However, when everyone heard it, they could tell that President Zuo and the designer had something important to talk about. Naturally, they did not insist on Bai Weiwei sitting over. Anhao, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly to avoid arousing suspicion. When she raised her head to look at everyone¡¯s different gazes, she realized that her future ¡± boss ¡± was talking to her. In the end, she did not know the rules and avoided it, which seemed to arouse suspicion about their relationship. Therefore, she had no choice but to sit upright again. However, at the same time, she could feel the warmth of Zuo Hanchengs hand behind her back, and she could also feel the sharpness in his indifferent gaze. She didn¡¯t offend him, so what was there to be sharp about? ¡°What happened last night was too sudden. I thought President Zuo was joking. Everything happened too suddenly, so I haven¡¯t thought of a preliminary plan yet.¡±She said calmly to dispel the awkwardness. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. His voice was still cold and calm, but it sounded serious and had the air of a leader.¡±Didn¡¯t I already say last night that I never make such jokes in public?¡± Anhao was giving each other a way out, but he was clearly trying to embarrass her. Anhao turned to look at him, and the moment she met his eyes, she saw a hint of warmth and coldness in his eyes.¡±Then I¡¯ll start to study the plan after I go back tonight. However, President Zuo also invested in several projects of City F reconstruction. I might have to finish this project invested by President Zuo first before I consider your companys project.¡± ¡°Of course, you can arrange the time yourself.¡± Seeing that the two of them were so serious about their business, Bai Weiwei did not want to sit down. At this moment, someone was about to ask the waiter to bring a chair in and arrange a place for Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei waved her hand very naturally and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. It doesn¡¯t matter where we sit. Since the organizers have reserved so many private rooms tonight, it just so happens that the investors from City A who have just cooperated with our Construction Bureau are looking for me to discuss something. I¡¯ll go to their private room.¡± Bai Weiwei politely smiled and nodded at the crowd. She turned around and left, looking carefree as if she didn¡¯t care. Anhao¡¯s intuition told her that Bai Weiwei liked Zuo Hancheng. However, it was impossible for Bai Weiwei not to be jealous of Zuo Hanchengs attitude. Therefore, there was only one reason. That was because this woman was so smart that she knew Gu Anhao¡¯s identity and what Zuo Hancheng hated. That was why Bai Weiwei acted so naturally without embarrassing everyone. However, Zuo Hancheng had been talking about ¡± business ¡± with her, so naturally, no one had any special thoughts about Anhao. After Bai Weiwei left, the atmosphere returned to normal. However, Zuo Hanchengs hand was still on the back of her chair. Even if they did not talk about anything else after that, even if he was talking to others, his hand never left her back. President He was also at the table. He wanted to strike up a conversation with Anhao, but seeing Zuo Hanchengs hand behind Anhao¡¯s back, he looked as if he was just taking care of a new ¡± subordinate ¡°, but his attitude was not that simple. President He did not dare to say anything more, but he still took the opportunity to toast Anhao and casually talked about the reconstruction project of the gymnasium in A City. After all, everyone came from A City and was also concerned about the reconstruction project in the province and the future appearance of the city. Anhao took the opportunity to turn around and chat with President He. Although she didn¡¯t really like this person, it was much better than being beside Zuo Hancheng as if she was his subordinate. It didn¡¯t matter anymore. Why should she still be his subordinate? It was just that she might work for him in the future, but it didn¡¯t mean that she had to stay beside him silently and not participate in other things. After chatting with President He for a while, President He smiled and told Zuo Hancheng that he admired her design style, but President Zuo beat him to it. In short, it was just a bunch of polite words. Anhao felt bored after hearing that. Seeing that everyone had gotten into their own topic, she stopped participating in these things. Just as she was about to find an old-fashioned excuse to go to the bathroom to leave, Zuo Hancheng suddenly leaned towards her again. She suddenly turned to look at him. Zuo Hancheng had leaned over too suddenly. The moment she raised her head, she almost bumped into his chin. The handsome face and the familiar slightly tipsy breath that was so close to her made her heart beat irregularly. She suddenly moved back a little. but Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°Didn¡¯t you bring a glass of milk to my room last night? Why did you leave after that?¡± His voice was so soft that only she could hear it. Anhao¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously denied it,¡±I¡¯ve never been there!¡± Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Zuo Hancheng’s Ambiguity (8) Chapter 561: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Ambiguity (8) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously denied never been there!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a pair of eyes that were as thin as smoke. It was as if he could instantly see through her seemingly calm eyes and see through her heart. Anhao was surprised that he actually knew that she had come out of the room last night. He even knew that she had brought milk over? Seeing his gaze, she knew that she could not lie. In the end, under his gaze, she asked,¡±Did you check the surveillance cameras in the corridor?¡± A faint light flashed across Zuo Hanchengs eyes.¡±¡±No, I just heard the room service chatting when I went out this morning. They talked about how you asked them to help you buy a lot of things last night.¡± ¡°Oh, 1 was hungry in the middle of the night, and I couldn¡¯t sleep well because I recognized the bed. I asked them to buy me milk and some things that helped me sleep. I originally made two cups and wanted to give you one, but when I arrived outside your room, I thought you were probably asleep, so I brought it back and drank it.¡± Anhao¡¯s tone was especially calm. Zuo Hancheng stared into her calm and bright eyes. He knew that she was lying, but he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled. An Hao could not control herself under his threatening gaze because she did not speak and the atmosphere was a little stiff. However, Zuo Hancheng did not look at her like the others. He just kept looking at her as if it did not matter even if others thought that Zuo Hancheng had fallen for her. Of course, Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t care about anything, but she was not as high as him. Just now, it was obvious that a bunch of people thought that Bai Weiwei was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s woman, and because she suddenly sat down, some people were a little criticized. Now that Zuo Hancheng was acting flirtatiously, Anhao couldn¡¯t continue to sit in front of so many people. She was also suffering under Zuo Hanchengs meaningful gaze. He was like a master who could easily play with her in his palms. Whether she was distant or intimate, it was all up to him. Anhao knew that she definitely had the ability to anger him, and she also had the ability to instantly break this calm, but now she was more tolerant than before. So she just raised her head and looked at him seriously.¡±President Zuo, I still have a few drawings to do and have to return to the hotel soon. Excuse me, I¡¯ll toast you before I leave.¡± She picked up the glass and clinked it with the glass beside him. Without waiting for his reply, she finished half of the red wine in her glass and stood up, ignoring the curious gazes of the people around her. She stood up and brushed past Zuo Hanchengs arms because his hand was on the back of the chair. She turned around and nodded at him expressionlessly. Then, she nodded at the other people at the table and politely explained the reason for her departure. After that, she apologized and turned around to leave. Miss Gu, your bag.¡± Just as Anhao was about to reach the door of the private room, Zuo Hanchengs cold voice suddenly sounded. Anhao paused for a moment. She realized that she had dodged too quickly and had forgotten to take her bag from the chair. The moment she turned around, she saw Zuo Hanchengs cold, misty eyes and the hidden secrets in them. He definitely did it on purpose! When it came to playing with people¡¯s hearts and tormenting them, he was definitely an expert! Anhao hid the unhappiness in her heart and smiled. She quickly walked over and picked up her bag. With her back facing everyone, she said to Zuo Hancheng with an extremely distant expression and voice,¡±¡±Thank you.¡± He turned around and left. Zuo Hancheng did not call for her again. Anhao walked out of the venue and rushed out of the front door. Before she got a taxi, she looked back and saw that Zuo Hanchengs car was still in the parking lot. No one was chasing after her. She then got into the car. After getting into the car, she realized that although the alcohol that night was not strong, she had drunk quite a lot. Moreover, there were all kinds of alcohol. It was easy to get drunk from all kinds of alcohol. At this moment, she felt dizzy and dizzy. After telling the driver that she was at a nearby hotel, she closed her eyes and leaned against the car. She thought about how she had boiled milk in the middle of the night last night and felt that she was so stupid that she had regressed to her IQ from three years ago. If he knew, then so be it. He actually taunted her. Fortunately, she did not knock on the door last night to bring him the milk. If she were to act up again tonight, even if she boiled milk, she would definitely splash a glass of milk on his face! When the taxi arrived at the hotel, Anhao got out of the car and felt her head hurt even more. She stood in front of the hotel door and enjoyed the cool night breeze for a while before she slowly walked in. Just as she was about to enter the elevator, she was about to lean against the wall because her steps were a little unsteady. A young man beside her quickly reached out to support her.¡±Miss, are you alright?¡± Anhao turned her head and saw a man who was rather eye-catching. He had a high class aura and was dressed very extravagantly. However, there was a woman who was dressed very sexily beside him. She pouted her lips and was unhappy when she saw her man reaching out to help another woman. ¡°I¡¯m fine, thank you.¡± Anhao quickly pushed the man¡¯s hand away and leaned against the wall.¡±¡±You guys go up, I¡¯ll go up later.¡± ¡°Did you drink?¡± The man didn¡¯t care about the sexy woman. His eyes lingered on Anhao. The tight-fitting clothes outlined her figure perfectly. Compared to the sexy woman who had been waiting in the elevator for a long time, this drunk beauty was obviously more to his liking. However, Anhao remained indifferent and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. She also rejected his concern. The man felt bored and looked at her again before entering the elevator. After the man and woman disappeared, Anhao waited for a while before pressing the elevator button. After returning to his room, he felt that his headache was getting more and more unbearable. Perhaps it was because he didn¡¯t sleep well last night, and he woke up early to study the design blueprint today. He even drank so much alcohol that night. He had a headache yesterday, and it got worse today. He also felt like he was about to catch a cold. He didn¡¯t know if he had been infected by a cold carrier or caught a hot cold. He went to the room service and asked for some medicine. After taking it, he forced himself to fall asleep. She didn¡¯t hear anything outside in the middle of the night. She only knew that it was past two in the morning when she woke up. She rubbed her head that was still hurting and walked to the window. She instinctively looked out and saw that the lights in the room next door were not on. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng had already gone to bed or if he had not returned tonight. Bai Weiwei came to T City today. If he did not return to this hotel to stay, he should have another place to stay¡­ His head hurt even more! Anhao immediately drew the curtains.. Chapter 562 - Chapter 562: Suspecting That She Had An Affair With President Zuo (1) Chapter 562: Suspecting That She Had An Affair With President Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Oh my god, Sister Anhao, you¡¯ve really been chosen by President Zuo!¡± Two days later, when she returned to work, she was hugged by Zi Ran as soon as she entered the office. Zi Ran had an envious look on her face as she kept asking An about her business trip in T City for the past three days. She was even curious about how Zuo Hancheng of Shengling Group had taken a liking to her. Anhao felt a headache coming on as she slapped Zi Ran, who was like an octopus, away. Yesterday was the last day of the conference, but because of her cold, she couldn¡¯t get up and missed the last day. Fortunately, there wasn¡¯t any important topic, and it was still a conference between designers. In the afternoon, Anhao took some medicine and slept a few times before she felt energetic. That night, she took the train back to A City. After returning home, she ran to a small hospital outside the neighborhood to get an injection. She felt much better this morning, but her headache was still unbearable. The cold in summer was the hardest to recover from and it was especially uncomfortable when she fell sick. She was already listless, and the moment she arrived at the office, Zi Ran hugged her tightly. She did not have the energy to explain what had happened these past few days, nor did she have the mood to care about the various envious and jealous gazes from everyone in the office. She only entered her office and turned on her computer. Her eyes stared at the computer screen without moving. He had a headache. The cold was too unbearable! Zi Ran finally realized that Anhao¡¯s mental state was not too good, so she quickly made a cup of hot coffee for her and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? His mental state was so bad? Are you sick?¡± ¡°l have a cold.¡± Anhao sniffed and glanced at Zi Ran. She took the coffee she brought over and took two sips. She forced herself to cheer up and said, ¡°How did you know about T City?¡± ¡°After you were appointed by President Zuo that night, the news spread. The next day, our office was in an uproar.¡±Zi Ran sat opposite her.¡± Oh, right. Minister Qin also said that you should go to his office when you come back. He seems to have something to talk to you about.¡±¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Anhao finished her coffee, hoping to use it to perk herself up. However, she still had a terrible headache, and in the end, she leaned back on the chair weakly. Logically speaking, although she was currently working in the government department, everyone knew that the renovation project would only last for half a year at most. The designers could basically be dismissed during the later stages of the project. If the government department still needed them in the future, they would be recalled. However, whether they wanted to come back or not depended on their own wishes. Therefore, even if the people here knew that she had previously submitted a manuscript to Stars Corporation, it was not a big deal. This was human nature. Everyone would consider their own way out. As for being appointed by Zuo Hancheng as the designer of Shengling Group¡¯s renovation project in the next three years, even if the contract was officially signed, it would definitely be in the future. It would not delay her work for the next six months, and Minister Qin would not find trouble with her because of Why would he suddenly look for her after returning from a business trip? After everyone in the office returned to normal working conditions, Anhao checked the new design plans and revised designs for the past few days. After checking, she went to Minister Qin¡¯s office. When she arrived at Minister Qin¡¯s office, she saw that there were people in his office discussing something. Anhao waited outside for a while until her phone rang. It was a call from the property management. Minister Qin heard the sound and walked out. When he saw her, his eyes immediately lit up. Before Anhao could finish the call, he asked the people in the office to leave first and let Anhao go in first. Minister Qin used to think highly of her and had nurtured her with great care. However, Anhao couldn¡¯t understand why he was so concerned about her. ¡°Hello.¡± Minister Qin sat behind his desk and watched her put away her phone.¡±¡±How have you been in T City these few days? Why do you look like you¡¯re not in good spirits?¡± ¡°l just caught a cold. Thank you for your concern, Minister Qin.¡±Anhao smiled. Minister Qin nodded.¡± It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. By the way, did President Zuo ot Shengling Group really appoint you as the designer for the reconstruction project of their headquarters?¡±¡± ¡°This matter only happened at the opening meeting. President Zuo and I have met a few times. When he helped me, he told me about this matter. I don¡¯t know if he will really come to discuss the work contract with me in the future, so this matter can only be considered as President Zuo¡¯s personal words for the time being.¡±Anhao said calmly,¡± Also, no matter where I work in the future or what kind of work I take on, I won¡¯t delay the reconstruction project here in the government office. This is my first job after graduating and returning to China. I will definitely treat it well and not let Minister Qin down.¡±¡± ¡°Yes, you¡¯re a sensible child. 1 know.¡±Minister Qin smiled.¡± But if what President Zuo said is true, you must cherish it. You must seize this opportunity.¡±¡± Anhao smiled and didn¡¯t say anything more about this matter. Minister Qin seemed to be very concerned about that.¡±lf that¡¯s the case, President Zuo must have a deep impression of you and thinks highly of you. That¡¯s great.¡± Anhao felt a little strange when she heard this. He had a deep impression of her and thought highly of her. Why did it sound a little ambiguous when Minister Qin said such words? ¡°Minister Qin, there¡¯s nothing between President Zuo and me¡­¡± Hey, Anhao, don¡¯t think too much about it. I¡¯m just saying that President Zuo knows you after all and was willing to help you at the opening ceremony. 1 heard what happened at that time. The designer of Stars Corporation was really despicable. Fortunately, President Zuo stood up for you. Otherwise, our Zheng F would have been dragged down with him.¡± Anhao nodded slightly and didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°l have to thank President Zuo for this matter. Find an opportunity to ask President Zuo out for a meal alone. Although the chance is not high, I think President Zuo should give you face.¡± ¡°How is that possible? Minister Qin, don¡¯t misunderstand. President Zuo won¡¯t give me face. He¡¯s actually not familiar with me¡­¡± ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore.¡±Minister Qin seemed to be in a good mood and interrupted Anhao,¡±¡± Since you¡¯ve caught a cold, you should rest well for the next few days. If you can¡¯t, take two days off at home to recuperate before you come back. Anyway, as long as you bring over the design drafts, President Zuo will give you some face in the future¡­¡± ¡°Minister Qin¡­¡± ¡°By the way, the hotel we booked for you that day was the same hotel as President Zuo, right?¡± ¡± .. Yes.¡± Minister Qin seemed to be in an even better mood. Looking at his expression, it was as if he was having a lot of twists and turns in his heart. Anhao felt a chill down her spine. She felt that Minister Qin had really misunderstood something.. Did he think that she was having an affair with Zuo Hancheng in the past few days? Chapter 563 - Chapter 563: Suspecting That She Had An Affair With President Zuo (2) Chapter 563: Suspecting That She Had An Affair With President Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao felt strange when she received a call from the property management during the day. When she rushed home after work at night, she saw a police car parked in front of the entrance of Hua Ting Private Garden. She quickly went to the security room in front of the residential area and greeted them. The security room took her to the police car to ask about the situation. ¡°This is the owner you¡¯re looking for, Miss Gu. She just came back from work. ¡°After the security guards sent Anhao to the police car, they retreated to the side, but they didn¡¯t leave. They were all curious about what had happened. After all, the police car had been parked there for more than half a day, but it did not take any action. When the security guard came to inquire, he casually asked about the situation of the house where Gu Anhao lived and the name of the owner. The security guard was already bursting with curiosity. Anhao also very inexplicable wonderful walking past at the same time, police car door pull open, inside has two plainc-clothed policemen looking at her, after that older some policemen walking down to Anhao polite point a bit head: ¡°Are you Huang Mao¡¯s friend?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes paused slightly.¡± The policeman nodded and said politely,¡±¡±Miss Gu, don¡¯t be afraid. We¡¯re Huang Mao¡¯s superiors. She¡¯s the operator of the 110 branch in our police station, but she¡¯s been absent from work for the past two days without any reason. She refused to pick up her phone and disappeared for some reason. She¡¯s been missing for more than 48 hours. When we received the report from her department, we came out to investigate. After all, although she¡¯s only an operator, she¡¯s still a superintendent. There might be something important that happened to her disappearance for no reason. We¡¯ve investigated her recent whereabouts. I found out that she had been staying at your place tor the past few days.¡± Anhao frowned. After Huang Amao stayed at her place a few days ago, Anhao went straight to T City for a business trip. When she rushed back last night, she wasn¡¯t there. She didn¡¯t come back until work this morning. She thought that Huang Amao had thought it through and went back, but she didn¡¯t have time to greet him. He didn¡¯t expect her to go missing. Missing could be a big deal. Maybe it was just a temporary lack of signal somewhere and the connection was cut off, or maybe something happened. It was no wonder that the police cars had been observing the place for the whole day. It seemed that they were observing if there was anything suspicious here and if Huang Amao had come back to live here. ¡°She did stay at my place for a few days because she had some disputes with her parents. We used to go to A High School together and were very good friends. After I came back from studying abroad, she and I often met. The last time I saw her was four days ago. The two of us were drinking at the Pleasure Bar. We were drunk at that time, but I remember that when I received a call from the leader and left, she was still drunk and sleeping in the private room. There was nothing unusual. After that, 1 rushed home to pack my luggage and went to T City for a business trip. I didn¡¯t come back until last night.¡± After Anhao explained the situation, she asked directly,¡±¡±Did something big happen in your police station recently? The concept of being missing for two days sounded very mysterious.¡± The young policeman in the car and the older policeman in front of her observed her expression and listened to her explanation. They nodded and said politely, ¡°First of all, we¡¯re not suspecting you, Miss Gu. We just want you to cooperate with us for an investigation. After all, Huang Mao is a member of our police station. Recently, there have been a few cases of police officers disappearing for no reason in the city. Although the case has been solved, Huang Mao¡¯s sudden disappearance in the past two days has made us wonder if there is any connection between him and that case.¡± Anhao nodded.¡± Then you guys can go in with me first. When I came back last night, I saw that some of Huang Mao¡¯s things were still with me.¡±¡± ¡°No need. We¡¯re just here to confirm Huang Mao¡¯s safety at your place these few days, but since you¡¯re not at home these few days, we won¡¯t disturb you.¡± The two police officers nodded politely at Anhao before getting into the car and leaving. Seeing the police car leave, she felt a little strange. The two policemen were too polite. They were obviously here to investigate, so they must have suspected that something was going on between her and Huang Amao. They didn¡¯t even enter the house, and their tone was so polite as if they were afraid of scaring her or offending her. Anhao picked up her phone and was about to call Huang Amao to see if her phone was really turned off. When she turned around and saw that the security guards were still there, she walked over and asked,¡±¡±Since they¡¯re here to check up on my friend¡¯s whereabouts, didn¡¯t you show them the surveillance footage from the past few days? When did my friend leave?¡± ¡± Miss Gu, they¡¯ve already watched the video and confirmed that the person they¡¯re looking for left the neighborhood two days ago and hasn¡¯t returned. That¡¯s why they didn¡¯t call you back for questioning. Also, they found out that the house you¡¯re staying in is related to President Zuo of Shengling Group, so they didn¡¯t dare to rush you back quickly and just waited here.¡± Anhao listened to her heart jump: ¡°That they have no contact with President Zuo?¡±¡± The security guard shook his head.¡± No, they have been waiting outside ever since they found out about your relationship with President Zuo. We don¡¯t know what they are up to.¡±¡± No wonder he was so polite to her. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. After thanking the security guards, she called Huang Amao and walked in. Huang Amao¡¯s phone couldn¡¯t be reached. Even when it was dark and Anhao had finished her dinner, her phone was still switched off. That shouldn¡¯t be the case. A person like Huang Amao wouldn¡¯t disappear for no reason. Did something really happen? Not long after, Chunchun called to ask about Huang Amao¡¯s condition. However, Chunchun sounded like she knew something. ¡°What happened?¡± Anhao had been eating non- stop just now because she was worried that something might have happened to Huang Amao. Chunchun rambled on and on, but she did not get to the main topic. In the end, Anhao¡¯s tone became serious and a little angry. Chunchun could tell that Anhao was about to get angry, so she could only say,¡±Two days ago, Huang Amao asked me to send her a copy of her household register and ID card. She was afraid that her family would find her and wanted to stay out for a few days. However, she was afraid that her ID card would be found very quickly when she stayed in a hotel, so she used my name to stay in a hotel. However, I don¡¯t know which hotel she is at now. She didn¡¯t answer my calls.. I was just worried¡­ Chapter 564 - Chapter 564: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (1) Chapter 564: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Are you crazy? How can we help her with this kind of thing?¡± Anhao wanted to knock Chunchun¡¯s head open. Chunchun had always been the smartest of the three of them, so why would she help Huang Amao when it came to the matter between Huang Amao and her parents? ¡°That¡¯s because she refused to go on a blind date no matter what. She even said that when she begged you to help her, you mocked her instead. She felt uncomfortable and aggrieved. She couldn¡¯t stand the scene of a blind date.¡± In the end, it was still because of him. Anhao hung up the phone after explaining the situation to Chunchun speechlessly. She didn¡¯t plan to sleep tonight and left the house with a cold. She went to the police station to check the hotel records of the past two days with Chunchun¡¯s identification. After confirming Huang Amao¡¯s exact location, she rushed over. When she arrived at Jinnan Hotel, she went straight to Huang Amao¡¯s room and knocked on the door without hesitation. She didn¡¯t even bother to ring the doorbell. At first, there was no sound from inside. It was as if someone had knocked on the door in the middle of the night and was afraid. Anhao knocked for a while and did not want to disturb the people in the other rooms on this floor. She stood in front of the door and said,¡±Huang Amao, open the door for me!¡± The person inside heard Anhao¡¯s voice and hurriedly opened the door. The moment the door opened, she saw Huang Amao wearing pajamas and looking sleepy. Anhao almost smashed her bag on her head. He quickly walked through the door and ignored Huang Amao¡¯s surprised expression.¡±Previously, he had scolded her directly, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go on a blind date, then so be it. Why did you go missing? Don¡¯t you know about the case of the missing police officer in the city a few days ago? Your superior in the police station came to my door today!¡± Huang Amao was shocked. I clearly told one of my colleagues to help me apply for sick leave from the leader. 1 didn¡¯t disappear for no reason. 1 just sneaked out to stay and didn¡¯t want my parents to find me. My phone was also turned off¡­ ¡°What kind of unreliable colleague is that? He didn¡¯t even tell your boss. Otherwise, why would he wait for me outside my house for an entire day? He even said that you had been missing for more than 48 hours and had already attracted the attention of the police station!¡± Huang Amao opened his mouth and saw that An was furious. He quickly chuckled and pulled her in.¡±Don¡¯t be angry first. Let¡¯s talk slowly.¡± ¡°Speak your sister!¡± Anhao flung her hand away. Huang Amao looked at her in surprise.¡¯¡±F * ck! Gu Anhao, how long has it been since I¡¯ve heard you curse? So you know how to curse! I thought that you had been in America for three years, and after you came back, your soul had been completely cleansed into a little princess who didn¡¯t even know how to swear!¡± ¡°Get out of here, don¡¯t talk to me! Just to avoid your parents, you used Chunchun¡¯s identity card to come out and stay. How long can you hide? Can you not go back to see them for the rest of your life?¡± ¡± Right now, the relationship between the parents of the two parties is very good. His parents have met me, but the blind date has never met me. I¡¯m afraid that if I really go on a blind date, these two parents will directly force us to get married or get engaged. Then my life will be ruined! I don¡¯t want to marry a stranger.¡± Anhao looked at her coldly. You can¡¯t hide outside forever?¡± ¡°The best thing to do now is to agree to the blind date and really meet him. Then, he will be dissatisfied with me and hate me. It¡¯s best if he thinks that I¡¯m ugly and has a bad temper. However, you know my temper. I will beat people up directly. When that time comes, it won¡¯t be dissatisfied, but it will cause the relationship between my parents and his parents to become awkward. I heard that his father and my father were childhood friends. Although I¡¯m willful and don¡¯t want to go on blind dates, I don¡¯t want to affect the relationship between my father and his old friends.¡± ¡°You have a lot of worries, but in the end, all you worry about are useless things.¡±Anhao rolled her eyes and saw a pile of snacks on Huang Amao¡¯s bed. The corner of her mouth twitched.¡±You haven¡¯t been out for the past two days and you¡¯ve been eating these things?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­¡± Anhao glanced at the dumplings under Huang Amao¡¯s pajamas. For some reason, she recalled that Zuo Hancheng had warned her before that eating junk food would affect her growth¡­ Now, it seemed that Zuo Hanchengs words were not without reason. Although Huang Amao¡¯s two steamed buns were not as flat as an airport, they were indeed not particularly well-developed. Even when he was wearing a police uniform, they looked a little curvy. However, when he thought about it carefully, they were indeed not very big¡­ ¡°If you continue eating, you might not be able to get married.¡±Anhao glanced at the two pimples on Huang Amao¡¯s face again and casually put the snacks on the bed into a bag and threw it into the trash can. Huang Amao could tell that Anhao was really angry, so he didn¡¯t stop her. He just stood at the side and frowned as he watched Anhao lose her temper. He felt that Anhao was even more controlling than his mother. ¡°Anyway, 1 don¡¯t want to go on a blind date, but I don¡¯t want to cause my parents and that family to be unhappy. I can only stall for time until both parents have no patience to urge me to go on a blind date again.¡± ¡°Then how long do you have to wait?¡± Anhao glared at her.¡± It¡¯s already Sunday. Didn¡¯t you stand her up for the blind date yesterday?¡±¡± ¡°What? I called the cafe where the blind date was held, but the man didn¡¯t come that day either!¡± ¡°It seems that the two of you don¡¯t want to go on a blind date and stood each other up. Then you don¡¯t have to go missing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless. My parents said before that the kid was used to being lazy when he was young, so he didn¡¯t listen to his parents. He also said that his temper was similar to mine. He said that if the two of us were together, we should restrain each other. Otherwise, we would both be so lawless. Anyway, if we missed this week, he would force me to go next week. That kid would probably be forced to go too,¡± Huang Amao sat on the bed and scratched his head in frustration.¡±¡±What should I do, Anhao? I¡¯d rather be like you now without parents to control me.¡± ¡°When you really don¡¯t have parents to control you, you¡¯ll know what it means to be alone and helpless.¡±Anhao coldly rolled her eyes at her. Huang Amao suddenly looked at her pitifully.¡±¡±Actually, when we were drinking that day, you said that you would help me go on a blind date, but after that, you went on a business trip¡­Anhao, are you really going to help me go on a blind date? Just dress up a little uglier to make the other party feel nauseous and persist until they leave after dinner. Then, everything will be fine.. I guarantee that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily! Is that okay?¡± Chapter 565 - Chapter 565: Ex-Husband Is Next Door (2) Chapter 565: Ex-Husband Is Next Door (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Good your head!¡± Anhao looked at her unhappily.¡± Hurry up and pack your things and come back with me. At least your parents will know where you are when they¡¯re really worried. It¡¯s too much for you to go missing like this. Hurry up and come with me!¡±¡± Huang Amao got up and hugged Anhao, wailing loudly,¡±¡± Anhao, please help me. I¡¯m about to die!¡± Anhao stood rooted to the ground, her head aching. She looked down at Huang Amao¡¯s pitiful face and said with a dark see how it goes next weekend. If there¡¯s nothing urgent to deal with or if I¡¯m on a business trip, I can help you¡­¡± ¡°Ah, ah, big baby, I love you to death! I knew you were more reliable than Chunchun!¡± Huang Amao jumped up and hugged Anhao¡¯s face, kissing her hard.¡±¡±I love you the most!¡± Anhao pushed her away impatiently.¡±¡±Hurry up and clean up!¡¯ Helping someone on a blind date was extremely melodramatic. Huang Amao really had a way to force her to help. An turned around and walked out. After Huang Amao finished packing and came out with her luggage, the two of them rushed back to the private villa. Perhaps Huang Amao¡¯s life was too good, but nothing major happened this week. It was just that Anhao had missed the opening ceremony a few days ago. However, everyone knew that Anhao had gone to participate in the design exchange in T City. Other than the occasional whispers of criticism in the design department office, there was really no big commotion outside. The few people in the office were nothing more than Xiao Qiu¡¯s mischief. They talked bad about Anhao behind her back all day long, and Anhao was already used to it. However, according to Zi Ran, Xiao Qiu and Xiao Hui had been in conflict recently and seemed to be on the verge of breaking up. Anhao smiled coldly.¡± She¡¯ll do something after we split up. You¡¯ll know after a few days of observation.¡±¡± One only needed to look at Xiao Qiu to know how much a woman would resort to and how much she would stoop to in order to gain a foothold in a certain place. Minister Qin had not been in the government department for the past two days. It seemed that there was a joint project between the government and business in the past few months. Minister Qin had been looking for a source of funding. Recently, he often went out to socialize with some business tycoons in the province, but it seemed that they had not reached an agreement, so he did not have time to find trouble with the design department. Everyone seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief this week. On the weekend, Anhao wanted to have a good night¡¯s sleep, but Huang Amao pulled her out of bed with the keys and entered the house. He prepared a very old-fashioned dress and a mess of things, saying that he was going to give her a big makeover. He knew that he couldn¡¯t escape the matter of helping out with the blind date¡­ Anhao buried her face in the pillow, feeling a headache coming on.¡±¡±Must we go? I haven¡¯t recovered from my cold yet. Can¡¯t you let me off¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s been a week, and you haven¡¯t even coughed once. Stop pretending with me. Hurry up and go on a blind date! ¡°Huang Amao was so excited about transforming Anhao into an ugly country auntie. After chasing Anhao out of the bathroom, he took out a pile of messy things from the bag and hummed a song. When Anhao came out of the bathroom, Huang Amao saw her listless look and smiled.¡±¡±Now you know how helpless 1 was when my parents forced me to go on a blind date, right? You¡¯re just helping me with a blind date and holding up the fort. It¡¯s not like you¡¯re really going on a blind date, but you¡¯re already feeling so stressed. Think about me. How uncomfortable must I be these days?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at her, then looked at the classic old-fashioned clothes she had brought over.¡¯!Do you have to be so exaggerated?¡± ¡°How can we make the other party give up if we don¡¯t dress up a little uglier? I can¡¯t deal with my parents, so I can only make him refuse to have anything to do with me no matter what. Only when I disgust him will he go back and completely mention the rejection to his parents. That way, I can save myself some trouble.¡¯ Huang Ah-Mao excitedly threw the clothes to Anhao.¡±Quickly put it on, let me see the effect!¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao picked up the clothes speechlessly and took a look at them. Fortunately, the clothes were all newly bought. She just didn¡¯t know how many shopping malls Huang Amao had been to these past few days to buy such strange clothes. Anhao said as she changed her clothes,¡±¡± I¡¯ll help you this once in your life. Don¡¯t look for me next time you have a blind date. You¡¯re not young anymore. It¡¯s not like you¡¯ll die if you have a boyfriend.¡±¡± Huang Amao ignored her. He fiddled with a pair of extremely tacky black-rimmed glasses in his hand and said,¡±¡±By the way, I just found out that someone is living in the house opposite yours.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand, which was currently wearing her silk belt, paused for a moment before she replied with a lukewarm know.¡± ¡°l saw her when I came just now. She¡¯s a super beauty. She looks especially elegant and gives people the feeling that she¡¯s a leader or the daughter of a leader. Anyway, she¡¯s covered in money, money, power, and power. She¡¯s definitely not a simple person. Anhao, you have to be careful when you go out in the future. Don¡¯t accidentally bump into others.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and she looked back at her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me you have a sexual orientation problem. You actually have compassion for a stranger.¡± Hmph!¡± Huang Amao snorted.¡± Even if there¡¯s no problem with your sexual orientation, you¡¯ll still take a few more glances at this kind of elegant and cold beauty, alright?¡± I¡¯m afraid that you might accidentally step on someone else¡¯s shoes or break their bag. You won¡¯t be able to afford it even if you sell yourself.¡± ¡°This dress is too ugly. I¡¯m not wearing it. I¡¯m not going on a blind date.¡±Anhao suddenly wanted to take off her clothes. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t! I was wrong! You¡¯re the most beautiful, you¡¯re the most beautiful. The woman living opposite you can¡¯t even compare to one-tenth of you. She¡¯s not even worthy of washing your feet, okay?¡±Huang Amao quickly ran over with the glasses and pushed Anhao in front of the mirror. He put the glasses on her and said with bright eyes, ¡°¡®Perfect! You look like a silly deer!¡± Anhao wanted to scold her for the first sentence, but she turned around and wanted to beat her up because of the second sentence. ¡°Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t be rough. You¡¯re going on a blind date today! You haven¡¯t hit anyone for so many years. Don¡¯t use me as a practice! ¡°Huang Amao hurriedly hid to the side and picked up another curling iron.¡±Come here, let me design your hair!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to be so exaggerated, right, Big Sister?¡± Anhao was dumbfounded. Did she need to be so fully armed? ¡°You¡¯re playing my role today. Do what I tell you to do. Stop dawdling. You¡¯re already dressed like this.¡±Huang Amao raised the curling iron in his hand and smiled maliciously.. Chapter 566 - Chapter 566: Ex-Husband Is Next Door (3) Chapter 566: Ex-Husband Is Next Door (3) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao took a taxi to the entrance of Rhine Cafe, the taxi driver couldn¡¯t help but look at her from head to toe when he was giving her change. After getting out of the car, Anhao also noticed the gazes of the people around her. She couldn¡¯t help it. Who asked her to agree to Huang Amao¡¯s request that day? In the end, she was tormented by Huang Amao¡¯s extremely strange taste. After the change, the taxi driver quickly drove away. He didn¡¯t dare to complain in front of her, but after driving a certain distance, he finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and couldn¡¯t help but whisper,¡± Long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long Your taste is too bad!¡± Even if Anhao didn¡¯t hear the driver¡¯s muttering, she could guess what everyone was thinking when they saw her dressed like this. At that time, Huang Amao had made her change her clothes and put on a pair of big framed glasses. Then, she had used a disposable curling iron to curl her hair into a cold-perm style for a village auntie. Then, she had tied a red scarf around her neck, which made her look even more tacky and almost killed her from the heat. It was the end of May, and the weather was over 30 degrees Celsius. Huang Amao wanted her to die from a heatstroke! After that, he even grabbed Anhao¡¯s hand and applied black nail polish on her. He put on a bracelet with all kinds of big beads that he bought from an unknown carpet. Finally, he pushed Anhao out of the door in satisfaction and sent her to a taxi. It was already 1 p. m. in the Rhine River Cafe in City A. The cafe that the other party had arranged for was not bad, not only because of the quiet and quiet environment, but also because even a glass of lemonade here was shockingly expensive. More importantly, this cafe had a long history in City A and was very famous. Many big shots often met here. Initially, Anhao thought that it was a blind date to invite Huang Amao to a coffee shop. In fact, it was quite insincere. However, when she found out that it was Rhine River Cafe, she realized that the other party¡¯s family background was not ordinary. Huang Amao was courting death and would not meet him no matter whether he was outstanding or not. Just as she was about to walk in, she suddenly saw a black high-end SUV in the parking lot outside the cafe. It was the new business SUV model from Porsche. There were only 100 of them worldwide, and the price was needless to mention. The main reason was that it was not easy to see the real appearance of this car. However, what caught her attention was not the car, but the license plate number on the back of the car¡­ It was Zuo Hanchengs license plate number. He might have changed his car in the past three years, but the license plate number might not have changed. After he came back, he often saw him, but he did not personally drive the Bentley. So he changed his car? Why was his car here? Anhao was already feeling uneasy because she was going to pretend to be Huang Amao for the blind date. Now that she saw Zuo Hanchengs license plate number, all the hair on her body stood on end. Was she possessed? Why did she bump into him everywhere she went? She looked around for a long time to make sure that Zuo Hancheng was not in the vicinity. She looked through the glass window and saw that Zuo Hancheng was not in the cafe either. Anhao then walked in hesitantly. She hoped that he was just passing by and that he had parked his car in front of the cafe because there were no parking spaces elsewhere. She hoped that she would not see him again. Especially her current appearance. Compared to three years ago when she bumped into him in a daze in the bar, this face was many times more exaggerated. The people in the cafe looked at her strangely when they saw her dress, but fortunately, everyone was well-mannered. Even if someone couldn¡¯t help but laugh, they only laughed secretly and didn¡¯t embarrass others. Some people even thought that the woman who had just entered had a mental problem and looked at her with pity for a while, thinking that she would be coaxed out by the people in the cafe. After Anhao walked in, she walked over under Waier¡¯s surprised gaze and said calmly,¡±¡±May I ask how to get to the east facing room on the second floor? I have an appointment with a friend in the east room on the second floor of your cafe.¡± The names of the private rooms in this coffee shop were very elegant. It gave off a dazzling feeling of the rising sun. She spoke clearly and did not seem to have a problem with her brain. It was just that her taste in clothes was a little bad. However, although the clothes she was wearing were a little rustic, the people inside could still recognize them. It was a new style from a famous international brand. However, most of the women who chose this style were women in their fifties. In the end, it was worn by such a young girl¡­ Seeing that although she had poor taste, the clothes she wore were not cheap, the staff was not in a hurry to chase her out. Instead, they held back their strange gazes and led her to the second floor. ¡°Miss, are you talking about the East Lin Room?¡± The waiter walked in front and now, the young master of the MO family went to the Dong Lin room. I wonder if you are meeting the young master of the MO family?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here for a blind date with Young Master Mo.¡±After Anhao finished speaking, she grinned at the shocked waiter. Her smile was extremely exaggerated. She didn¡¯t lower her voice. She happened to pass by a private room and noticed that there seemed to be someone in the private room called the bamboo forest. She only glanced at the door of the bamboo forest and continued to walk to the east room under the waiter¡¯s surprised gaze. Huang Amao had indeed mentioned that the family name of the blind date was MO, but she didn¡¯t know the details. She only knew that they were meeting here. Moreover, the other party had said that she only had an hour today and that she shouldn¡¯t be late. She was really curious about what this young master of the MO family was like. If he was really a good man, Huang Amao might cry to death. When they arrived at the door of the Donglin room, Anhao remembered Huang Amao saying that the worse the attitude, the better. She must not leave a good impression on the other party. Hence, Anhao did not knock on the door and continued to enter under the Waiter¡¯s surprised expression. Seeing the woman walk in, the waiter thought of the temper of the young master of the MO family. Then, he thought of how she said that she was here to go on a blind date with him. For a moment, he felt that the world was too scary. How could there be a woman with such bad taste? Why would the young master of the MO family go on a blind date with such a woman! Oh my god! Before he could finish sighing, the communicator in his hand suddenly showed that the guest in the bamboo forest needed service. He quickly straightened his expression and turned around to walk over. As he knocked on the door and walked in, he smiled and asked softly,¡±Mr.. Zuo, do you want another glass of water?¡± Chapter 567 - Chapter 567: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (4) Chapter 567: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (4) Translator: 549690339 On the other side, in a private room in Donglin- The moment Anhao walked in, before she could see who was inside, the young master spat out a mouthful of coffee. Looking at the coffee that sprayed all over the table, Anhao could imagine how exaggerated her dressing was. She felt that Huang Amao really wanted to ruin ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m late!¡± Anhao forced herself to remain calm as she said that. Without even looking at the person, she turned around and sat down opposite him. In the end, the young master of the MO family first thought that her dress was too horrible to look at. However, when he endured the feeling of disgust and looked at her again, he was suddenly stunned.¡±Miss, have we met before?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched, and she suddenly looked up at the person in front of her. He looked pretty good, but he was wearing a tight suit like a playboy. He didn¡¯t wear a tie. Instead, he wore a bow tie that looked like he had just worn at an important dance party. The moment Anhao raised her head, he immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest.¡±We must have met before!¡± Anhao looked at him curiously for a long time. She did have a little impression of this young master of the MO family, but it was just a little. She could not remember where she had seen him before. After a long time, she suddenly raised her eyebrows.¡±So it¡¯s you!¡¯ That day in T City, when she returned to the hotel alone, she was a little drunk and had a headache. She was helped by a man beside the elevator. At that time, there was a sexy woman beside him who was impatient. It was this blind date man in front of her! This world was really small! She could meet someone she had met before when she was helping Huang Amao with her matchmaking! Anhao was afraid that her disguise as Huang Amao would be exposed, which would affect the relationship between the Huang and MO families and ruin Huang Amao¡¯s reputation. She was about to explain, but the young master in front of her changed his indifferent and pretentious expression. He immediately introduced himself with a smile,¡±You are Huang Mao? This is the second time I¡¯ve met MO Yunfei. I didn¡¯t expect Miss Huang to be such a funny person!¡± What a joke¡­ This was really funny! Anhao was wearing a tight dress at the hotel in T City and had even dressed up a little. This MO guy knew what she originally looked like. Now that he suddenly appeared in front of her in this dress, wasn¡¯t it just a joke? ¡°Um, Mr. MO, I¡¯m very sorry. I¡¯m actually here to help my friend¡­¡± ¡°l didn¡¯t expect Miss Huang to be so beautiful and have such a playful personality. She planned to give me such a big surprise on her first blind date.¡±Mo Yunfei interrupted her and I was really rude just now.¡± ¡°Mr. MO, l, actually¡­¡± ¡°Waiter! ¡°He suddenly pressed the button on the table and called the Waiter over through the communicator. The door of the private room opened very quickly. The Waiter who had just sent Anhao up came in and said politely,¡±¡±Does Young Master MO need any ¡°Your coffee tastes terrible. Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m vomiting?¡±¡± This table is already dirty,¡± MO Yunfei said coldly.¡± Move it to the Celestial Elegance Room next door.¡¯ Just as he was about to get up, the Waiter was stunned for a moment. He immediately said with some difficulty,¡± I¡¯m very sorry, Young Master Mo. The Tianxiu Room next to yours has already been occupied. The guest who was originally in the bamboo forest has just changed over and is already next to yours¡­¡± MO Yunfei was about to flare up when Anhao quickly no need to change it. I just need to wipe the table. It¡¯s just some coffee stains and nothing The Waiter nodded and said,¡±¡±Young master MO, the best private rooms on the second floor are the Dong Lin Room, the Bamboo Forest Room, and the Heavenly Elegance Room. Why don¡¯t you change to another private room¡­¡± ¡°Forget it, forget it. Wipe it off.¡± MO Yunfei returned to his seat. At the same time, he suddenly adjusted his suit jacket as if he was paying attention to his image. At the same time, he took off the exaggerated bow tie on his collar. It seemed that this Young Master MO was not happy with this blind date and deliberately exaggerated his appearance. However, it could be seen that he still paid attention to his image, so he only made some small changes and did not look like a living person like Anhao¡­ The waiter quickly cleaned up the table and took away all the coffee cups. Then, he quickly brought two new cups of coffee before leaving. The quality of the staff in this cafe was really good. MO Yunfei kept staring at her, and Anhao felt a little awkward. She could only pay attention to other things. At the same time. she wondered why the guests in the bamboo forest had suddenly switched to the room next to theirs. After all, this was only a cafe, not a hotel, so the soundproofing between the private rooms was not particularly good. However, she did not hear any movement from the next room for a long time. ¡°Miss Huang, I was really negligent just now.¡±Mo Yunfei raised an eyebrow and started I had known that my blind date was for you, I wouldn¡¯t have gone to T City for a vacation last week. I would have come to see Miss Huang directly. I didn¡¯t expect us to be so fated.¡± Hearing this, Anhao felt that there was no need to tell the truth and quickly dealt with this blind date. ¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence.¡± Anhao said perfunctorily, and at the same time, he could see her perfunctory attitude.¡±Mr. MO, didn¡¯t you say that you only have an hour to come for the blind date today? I¡¯m already so late. It¡¯s almost time for you to leave, right? I don¡¯t think the two of us agree with this kind of blind date, so if you have anything to do, you can leave first. After meeting this one time, it¡¯s enough for us to deal with the parents on both sides¡­¡± MO Yunfei suddenly leaned back with a smile and said only have an hour because I¡¯m talking about an unreliable blind date in my imagination. But if the blind date is you, I have 24 hours today.¡± ¡°Mr. MO, I think we¡­ ¡°Eh? Miss Huang, my name is MO Yunfei. You can call me Yunfei from now on. There¡¯s no need to be so distant.¡±Mo Yunfei smiled and his peach blossom eyes curved into crescents.¡±¡±l heard that you¡¯re almost twenty-three years old this year. Why are your parents in such a hurry to marry you off at such a young age? To be honest, the reason why I stood you up last week was mainly because I had some social events in T City and couldn¡¯t leave. 1 didn¡¯t mean to ignore you on purpose.¡± Hearing him talk about what happened in the city last week, Anhao silently gave him the middle finger in her heart.. Chapter 568 - Chapter 568: Ex-Husband Is Next Door (5) Chapter 568: Ex-Husband Is Next Door (5) Translator: 549690339 Did she really think that she couldn¡¯t remember clearly because she was drunk and couldn¡¯t stand steadily by the elevator? At that time, he had obviously found a sexy woman to mess around with. This kind of man, even if he had a good family background and looks, this kind of playboy young master actually dared to act tough in front of her. She was the only one who was present. If Huang Amao was sitting here and she had met him in the hotel last week, she would definitely have slapped him until the sun rose. Wouldn¡¯t it be even more pretentious to let you stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? Anhao nodded without batting an eyelid, accepting his apology. ¡°You specially dressed up like this¡­¡± MO Yunfei pointed at her hair and glasses, then looked at her old-fashioned clothes and said with a smile,¡±¡±Are you here to make a joke, or are you not planning to go on a blind date at all?¡± ¡°There are both reasons.¡± Anhao smiled perfunctorily.¡± Well, Young Master MO, since you¡¯ve already gotten to the point, let¡¯s have a good talk about this matter.¡± You see, since both of us have been unwilling to go on blind dates since the beginning, we were both forced by our parents. I also know that you have a beloved woman outside, so let¡¯s each take a step back. After todays meeting, we will talk about this matter clearly with our parents. Tell them that we are not satisfied with each other and forget about this blind date.¡± MO Yunfei didn¡¯t respond immediately. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and looked at her with raised eyebrows.¡±Although that¡¯s indeed the case. At first, I was the same as Miss Huang and didn¡¯t plan to be serious about this marriage. But now, I suddenly feel that Miss Huang and I are a good match. I think we can seriously consider the suggestions of our parents.¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± Anhao pushed up her huge glasses and held back the sneer in her heart.¡±l don¡¯t like to be the third party in other people¡¯s relationships.¡± MO Yunfei¡¯s expression turned serious when she mentioned the fact that he had a woman by his side for the second time.¡±¡±Miss Huang, I think I need to clarify something. That day at the hotel in T City, what you saw was not what you thought.¡± That day, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the woman, the Anhao listened quietly as she fiddled with her phone. She looked as if she was just casually looking at it, but her gaze froze on the gossip she found on the Internet. She smiled and pushed her finger in front of him. ¡°Young Master MO really doesn¡¯t need to be so cooperative with your parents. You¡¯re a person who likes freedom, and I don¡¯t like to get married too early and be restricted. So I suggest that we just let this matter go.¡± Anhao¡¯s words were light, but the power behind her words made MO Yunfei¡¯s eyebrows twitch. What made his face turn even uglier was the various gossip about MO Yunfei, the young master of the MO family in City A, displayed on her phone screen. Almost every day, there would be news of him fooling around with female celebrities. He was the subject of successive scandals among the second and third-tier female celebrities in the country. What was even more exaggerated was that there were even scandals of him and four female celebrities on the same day. Each female celebrity said that she was his official girlfriend, but in the end, he picked up those women and threw them away as if they were changing clothes. He did not take those women seriously at all, nor did he acknowledge any girlfriends in front of the media. After looking at the content on the screen for a while, MO Yunfei!s cold expression suddenly turned into a smile. He seemed to find it funny.¡±Miss Huang, you¡¯re not a teenager. You should know that the media likes to nffite nonsense. Whenever I drive a car with a female celebrity, it will be written in a flashy way and a bunch of love and hate stories will be pulled out. Besides, I¡¯ve never paid attention to those scandals in front of the media and have never acknowledged any girlfriends.¡± This MO Yunfei was really thick- skinned. In the face of so much gossip, he could still make himself sound as innocent as a monk who had never touched any woman. It was obvious that MO Yunfei was a public figure who often mingled with the media. The way he spoke was naturally not revealed. Huang Amao really threw a big problem at her¡­ Anhao had always hated dealing with such cunning people, so her attitude gradually became impolite. She put away her phone and smiled faintly.¡±l¡¯m not interested in your relationship history, Young Master Mo. I just casually searched for so much news. You also know that although our Huang family has a good status in the business field of A City, my family is very low-key and has never appeared in front of the media. Including me, no one knows what I look like. It can be seen that the two of us are from different worlds.¡¯ ¡°Why should people from different worlds force themselves together? Although our parents are old friends, they are still old and don¡¯t know much about the love life of young people like us. However, I sincerely advise Young Master Rong not to take this blind date seriously. I don¡¯t have any intention of respecting you by appearing here in this dress. Let¡¯s not talk about formalities. You should understand that I reject the marriage between the two families!¡± She had already made her words clear. No matter how thick- skinned MO Yunfei was, he should be able to get up and leave after being humiliated. However, MO Yunfei kept smiling at her, as if everything she said was interesting. Seeing that her words did not work, Anhao had no choice but to use the second plan. Just as she was about to get up, MO Yunfei slowly took a sip of coffee and MO Yunfei, have never had a woman 1 like, Besides, you said that our families are old friends. It¡¯s a pity that I haven¡¯t been to your Huang family to see you in person for so many years. Otherwise, the two of us could be considered childhood sweethearts.¡¯ ¡°I dare not! There are many girls who grew up together with Young Master Mo. You don¡¯t need me, and there are many women who want to marry Young Master Mo.. Why force each other?¡± Chapter 569 - Chapter 569: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (6) Chapter 569: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It¡¯s useless to say things too absolutely.¡±He looked at her with a faint smile.¡± On the contrary, I¡¯m very interested in you. That day at the hotel in T City, when you almost lost your balance beside the elevator, do you still remember that I held your waist?¡± Anhao really couldn¡¯t remember clearly. The only thing she remembered was that he did help her up, but she quickly dodged him and didn¡¯t let a stranger touch her again. She really didn¡¯t remember if he hugged her waist. However, seeing how confident MO Yunfei was, she only smiled.¡±¡±At that time, I drank too much at the design exchange in T City and couldn¡¯t walk steadily. I have to thank Young Master Rong for helping me at that time. When I helped you, I couldn¡¯t avoid some simple physical contact.¡± MO Yunfei laughed. After all, it feels pretty good.¡± ¡°Whether you mind or not doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with me.¡± ¡°How can it be okay? ¡°After hugging you that day, I¡¯ve been thinking about whether 1 would ever see you again. In the end, I didn¡¯t expect that the person I had avoided for so long would be you. Even if you don¡¯t think it matters, 1 definitely can¡¯t ignore our fate. If Miss Huang has any misunderstandings or prejudices against me, since we¡¯re not in a hurry to get married, why don¡¯t we get along like this first? As the saying goes, time reveals a person¡¯s heart. After spending time together for a long time,¡± You will know how much I have been wronged by those scandals in front of the media. I just don¡¯t care about those media people. After all, they have to make a living.¡± Anhao thought about it. For someone like MO Yunfei to be able to say so much to her, it was indeed a testament to his sincerity. However, she had already seen him hugging another woman in the hotel elevator in T City. She had seen him with her own eyes when he was holding a drunk stranger with a woman beside him. This kind of man who was too emotional was so thick- skinned that it made one¡¯s hair stand on end. It was obvious that MO Yunfei didn¡¯t want her to get away so quickly. Anhao took off her big black-rimmed glasses and turned to look at him seriously.¡±Young Master MO, you can¡¯t be too shameless. Especially for a public figure like you who has some achievements in the business field and often shows your face in front of the media, you should pay more attention to your skin.¡± MO Yunfei leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He looked at Anhao, who was obviously unwilling to continue the conversation.¡±Miss Huang, you don¡¯t have to lose your patience so quickly. This blind date was arranged by our parents on both sides. Secondly, just because your lifestyle before marriage doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯ll be so casual after marriage. If Miss Huang is willing to sit down and have a chat with me, and if you¡¯re willing to give me a chance to officially date you, I¡¯ll make those flowers and plants disappear completely within 24 hours. I guarantee that they won¡¯t touch you ever again!¡± ¡°Am I that charming?¡± Anhao sneered.¡± MO Yunfei raised an eyebrow and smiled with a serious but ambiguous expression.¡±¡± I was able to tolerate your attire when you entered the house. I was even shocked when you took off your glasses. My heart raced for god knows how many times. It can be seen that I really love you, Miss Huang¡­¡± ¡°Young Master Mo t s true love is really casual. It hasn¡¯t even been a cup of coffee and you¡¯ve already fallen in love.¡±Anhao was no longer polite to such a shameless person. ¡°¡®¡±Let¡¯s not waste our time and words. I only have one thing to say. This blind date is only for this one time. When you go back, explain it to your parents clearly. This matter will end here.¡± MO Yunfei raised his eyebrows and looked at her determined expression. Then, he saw her throw the black-rimmed glasses in front of him and turn to leave. He did not get up to chase after her, nor did he force her to stay. He only glanced at her back as she walked out of the door. When she slammed the door shut, he turned to look at the black-rimmed glasses on the table. He picked them up and played with them for a while before raising his eyebrows. Just as he was about to get up and go out to see which direction she was going, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. MO Yunfei picked up the phone impatiently.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you not to call me again? Don¡¯t you have a memory?¡± ¡°Yun Fei! Are you really going to ignore the humiliation I suffered at the exchange meeting in T City? At that time, I was bullied by that woman called Gu Anhao. At least I used to have a relationship with you. Even if your MO family and Stars Corporation are opposing companies, we still have an old relationship. Now that Stars Corporation isn¡¯t protecting me, if you don¡¯t help me deal a blow to Gu Anhao, how am 1 going to stand in the design industry in the future?¡± Lisa¡¯s voice was almost sobbing. At the very least, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word, I¡¯m a man of my word Even the Stars Corporation didn¡¯t dare to touch her, and they even told her to make way for Gu Anhao. What right did they have? Stars Corporation even wants me to resign. My life is going to be ruined by that woman!¡± ¡°You asked for it!¡± MO Yunfei frowned. Don¡¯t bother me anymore, or I¡¯ll make sure you can¡¯t survive in A City!¡± ¡°MO Yunfei! Don¡¯t forget that you still owe me a favor back then. I¡¯m not using our past to threaten you now. Are you really not going to return what you owe me? I only asked you to teach that Gu Anhao a lesson so that she can¡¯t stay in the design world anymore. Only then would I have a chance to gain a foothold in the industry, and you¡¯re actually turning against me now?¡± MO Yunfei resisted the urge to scold Lisa on the other end of the phone. He gritted his teeth and finally asked coldly,¡±¡±What Gu Anhao? What background do you have?¡± Hearing that he was taking a step back, Lisa relaxed and send you her information immediately! You¡¯d better make sure that she can¡¯t stay in the architectural design industry within a month and make room for me. Otherwise, there will be no one in the architectural design industry in A City!¡¯ ¡°I know! Don¡¯t bother me again after this matter is resolved! ¡°Mo Yunfei said sternly and pressed the phone heavily.. Chapter 570 - Chapter 570: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (7) Chapter 570: The Ex-Husband Is Next Door (7) Translator: 549690339 ¡°What a troublesome old woman!¡± MO Yunfei¡¯s good mood was instantly swept away. Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang again. This time, it was the sound of Lisa sending an email. He didn¡¯t plan to read it so early, but he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to catch up if he walked out now. The sky outside was starting to darken, and it looked like it was going to rain soon. He picked up his phone expressionlessly and glanced at the unread email. The first thing she saw when she opened it was the photo at the top. MO Yunfei¡¯s expression froze, and his eyes were filled with surprise. He carefully looked at Gu Anhao¡¯s information and work location, and then looked at a few photos of her at the exchange meeting. His peach blossom eyes immediately narrowed dangerously. ¡± Gu. An. Good?!¡± After Anhao walked out of the private room, she walked out quickly. She had already noticed the sky outside. She did not bring an umbrella when she came out. She was worried that she would get wet in the rain when she got into the car, so she walked quickly and left the cafe without looking back. The moment she walked outside, she saw the dark clouds in the sky and the sound of thunder. Anhao was stunned. At the same time, she looked at the time. Although it was the weekend, she still had an academic seminar organized by the political department at 4 pm. It was considered a medium-sized meeting, but as the director of the design department, she had to go. Working in the government office wasn¡¯t particularly hard. The only depressing thing was that there were too many activities and meetings to attend. Sometimes, some meetings would take up the weekend break. She looked at the time as she quickly walked to the roadside to hail a taxi. However, it was going to rain soon and it was the peak period of the weekend, so it would be difficult to hail an empty taxi. Anhao took out a rubber band and tied up her aunty hairstyle that Huang Amao had personally made for her. She finally looked like a normal person, but the clothes she was wearing were really old-fashioned and old-fashioned. At least the taxi driver would not think that she was crazy anymore. After waiting for a long time on the side of the road, there was no empty car passing by. There was another thunder in the sky, and she felt a chill down her spine, She instinctively looked at the window on the second floor of the coffee shop behind her. At the same time, her gaze suddenly fell on the license plate number of the high-class black SUV parked in front of the coffee shop. Zuo Hancheng must be nearby. If she got caught in the rain later and was seen by him in such a sorry state, her already miserable mood would become even worse! To be honest, when she saw MO Yunfei¡¯s shameless attitude in the room, she had to endure it again and again to maintain a good attitude and not smash the coffee cup on his head. Splashing coffee on him was nothing. Smashing him wasn¡¯t enough to vent her anger! There was really no shortage of shameless men in this world. They played around with women while saying that they were clean. Whoever married such a man would be unlucky. Forget about the fact that she was helping Huang Amao go on a blind date today. If Huang Amao really wanted to marry such a type of man one day, Gu Anhao would be the first to be unhappy! Even if it was a wedding kidnapping, he had to save Huang Amao! If she married this kind of man, her future would be like hell! Did Huang Amao¡¯s parents not know how many women MO Yunfei had outside? She actually dared to marry her daughter to him? Even if Huang Amao wasn¡¯t close to his parents, he wouldn¡¯t be so cruel as to push Huang Amao to a person like MO Yunfei for a marriage alliance! In the past two years, she had met a psychology teacher in her American school. He had taught her a set of self-calming methods to ease her violent emotions based on her personality and temper. Anhao had already cultivated her emotions very well with this method, but now, she could not calm down no matter what. No wonder Huang Amao didn¡¯t want to go home or go on a blind date. She knew this would happen. Anhao looked back again. She was afraid that she would bump into Zuo Hanchengs car, so she turned around and walked quickly to the bus stop across the road. She saw a bus that could pass by the vicinity of Hua Ting Private Park, so she got on it and quickly left near the cafe. Initially, Anhao was full of dissatisfaction and wanted to go back and scold Huang Amao, that heartless woman. Moreover, she was drenched in the rain when she got off the bus and walked back to Hua Ting Private Park from the bus stop. She was in a hurry to go back and change her clothes so that she could attend the seminar at 4 0¡¯clock. However, when she arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, she saw Huang Amao holding an umbrella in his hand as if he was waiting for her. He was squatting by the roadside and waiting quietly like an unwanted child. Anhao looked at it for a while and slowly walked over. She saw that Huang Amao was holding an umbrella, but half of his shoulder was still wet. She frowned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why didn¡¯t you wait for me at home?¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s voice, Huang Amao quickly stood up.¡±¡±Anhao, you¡¯re back! You weren¡¯t bullied, right?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Did you already know what kind of man that MO guy is?¡±¡± Huang Amao looked apologetic.¡± I know that nothing will go wrong if you help me with the matchmaking. After all, if we were to fight alone, that kid wouldn¡¯t know much about martial arts. He definitely wouldn¡¯t be your match.¡± Moreover, if you go, you might not be able to fight. However, if I go, if he goes back to see his parents with a swollen face, I won¡¯t have to go home anymore¡­¡± On the way back, Anhao thought of the reason why Huang Amao asked her for help. She also knew that Huang Amao had no choice but to do so, and he had indeed considered it. If she was really in danger, Huang Amao would definitely not let her go. ¡°Forget it, this matter is over. That MO guy didn¡¯t do anything to me.¡±Anhao said casually and dragged Huang Amao back. She said as she walked,¡±¡±lf you really have nowhere to go, you can stay with me. I won¡¯t chase you away. If your parents still want to force you to marry that kind of person, if you really want to run away from home, I¡¯ll take you in.¡± Huang Amao¡¯s eyes turned red and he grabbed Anhao¡¯s arm without saying a word. Actually, Anhao should have thought of this a long time ago. She used to be envious of Huang Arnao and Chunchun for having parents, and their family conditions were so good. However, she had never thought about why Huang Amao and Chunchun could hang out with her. They could be rebellious girls for so many years, and they had been crazy in high school for so long. Even now, Huang Amao was still so rebellious. In the end, it had too much to do with her family. Even though Huang Amao had parents, her parents obviously never cared about her feelings. This kind of alienation and resistance from her parents, those who tried to use rebellious methods to block the harm of the outside world, An Yi felt the same.. Chapter 571 - Chapter 571: Sending Something to President Zuo (1) Chapter 571: Sending Something to President Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 After a peaceful weekend, she was called by Minister Qin on Monday, saying that he had something to tell her. When Huang Amao went out yesterday, Anhao received a call from her clients. She learned that it would take some time to investigate her mother¡¯s case, and the tens of thousands of yuan she had paid previously was not enough for their investigation. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the company she had commissioned was introduced to her by someone she trusted, she would have suspected that she had been cheated of her money. However, these people were right about one thing. Her mother¡¯s past was indeed very suspicious. This wasn¡¯t a story that they had made up out of thin air. Whether the other party really needed money for the operation of the investigation, Anhao still had to be clear of it. However, this time, because it was much more complicated than the previous discussion, they asked for 100,000 yuan. 100,000 yuan. They promised to investigate her mother¡¯s matter within two months. If they were late, they would return double the amount. This was their companys rule. There was an agreement in the middle, and there was also a middleman to guarantee it. They had already paid the money previously, and the investigation had already progressed to a certain stage, If they gave up now, not only would the money from before be wasted, but it would also be even more difficult to investigate in the future. But 100,000 yuan¡­ If she paid the last 100,000 yuan in her card to them, she would really have no money left. Zheng F had paid the 100,000 yuan deposit first, and the rest would only be paid after the construction project was completed. That meant that it would take at least three months or half a year. She couldn¡¯t be without a single cent in this half a year. Anhao had been troubled by this matter since she woke up this morning, but she didn¡¯t want to tell Huang Amao about her current financial situation. They were no longer children, and they had to solve their own problems. There was no need for Huang Arnao to use the money in her parents ¡®card to help her friend while arguing with her parents. When she arrived at the office, she was still thinking of a countermeasure because of this matter. Minister Qin called, which made Anhao feel that time was rushed and there were too many things to do. She was already feeling a little overwhelmed. When she reached Minister Qin¡¯s office, Anhao had already habitually stopped outside the door for a while and didn¡¯t walk in directly. She realized that every time she came here, she could hear Minister Qin¡¯s conversation with others in the office. Although there was no one else in the office today, she heard Minister Qin¡¯s phone ring when she stopped walking. The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Minister Qin¡¯s voice said at the same time,¡±Hey, I¡¯ve been thinking of a way to settle that matter. At present, the few big shots of the Chamber of Commerce in the province have no intention of agreeing.¡± ¡°Of course, I know that if we don¡¯t pass, things will get ugly, but things are getting more and more difficult, so we can only think of another way.¡± ¡± I¡¯ll find a way to deal with the Chamber of Commerce. Shengling Group has been getting closer to the government recently. I¡¯ll try my best to sound Zuo Hancheng out¡­¡± Hearing the conversation inside, Anhao stood outside without moving. ¡± The only way I can think of is to start with Zuo Hancheng. He¡¯s an important decision-maker in the provincial Chamber of Commerce. Although he rarely gets involved in the Chamber of Commerce¡¯s matters, if he¡¯s willing to settle this matter for us, if he agrees, this problem will be solved by more than half.¡± ¡± Mmm, don¡¯t worry. The US will think of a way to open Zuo Hanchengs teeth¡­¡± I know he¡¯s not easy to deal nith. I¡¯ll try my best. I can only use whatever method I have now.¡± Just as she was about to get to the crucial point, someone seemed to be heading upstairs. If she walked in through the front door, she would definitely find her standing outside Minister Qin¡¯s office eavesdropping. Anhao immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator. She even went straight back to her office. However, just as she sat down in her office, she took a sip of water to calm herself down. She was thinking about what Minister Qin had said on the phone. He did not seem to have any intention of harming Zuo Hancheng, but he seemed to be in a hurry to ask Zuo Hancheng to relent. Just as she was thinking about it, the internal phone in the office suddenly rang. When she picked up, Minister Qin¡¯s unhappy voice came out.¡±Director Gu, didn¡¯t I ask you to come to my office at 11 0¡¯clock? What time is it now? Why isn¡¯t he here yet? Are you planning to come over after lunch? Do you want me to wait for you in the office after dinner?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be right there!¡± Anhao put down the phone, tidied up her expression, got up, and walked out. When she returned to Minister Qin¡¯s office, she only stayed for a few seconds. She didn¡¯t hear any sound from inside before she walked in. However, when Minister Qin saw her coming, he changed his anxious and angry attitude on the phone and immediately looked at her with a smile.¡±Anhao, have you had lunch yet?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± No, I was just planning to go eat with my colleagues. But I heard that you seemed to be in a hurry, so I came over first.¡±¡± ¡°Alright, then you can go and have lunch later. I¡¯ll just give this to you first.¡± Minister Qin said as he took out a red gift box from under his desk. The gift box looked very high-end and exquisite, and the price was definitely not cheap. After he picked it up, he pushed it in front of Anhao. Anhao looked at the gift box in confusion.¡±¡±Minister Qin, what is this?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the design you showed President Zuo last time not get approved? It¡¯s been a week. Although you have a lot of things to do this week, your design department should be able to summarize a new plan. You can show it to President Zuo tonight and help me send this to President Zuo.¡± Minister Qin pushed the gift box in front of Anhao and said,¡±¡±The design drawing and this gift box are very important. When you go to see President Zuo, you must bring them together. Oh right, President Zuo has a project to discuss with several leaders in the province this afternoon. He will stay in the Huangge Hotel near the Provincial Government Hall tonight. I will tell you the room number of President Zuo later.¡¯ Anhao held it in. She could clearly tell what Minister Qin meant by his ambiguous attitude, but she still asked,¡±¡±Minister Qin, if you have something to give to President Zuo, you should deliver it yourself. There¡¯s no reason for me to give it to you. Moreover, the matter of the design blueprint is different from the matter of delivering things. They are two separate matters. How can I be the one to deliver this thing?¡± ¡°Hey, do you think I¡¯m harming you?¡±Minister Qin heard the rejection in her words and immediately said unhappily,¡±lf President Zuo hadn¡¯t appointed you as the designer of their company¡¯s reconstruction project in the next three years, I really wouldn¡¯t have let you give this thing. I¡¯m only letting you do this because you¡¯re closer to President Zuo than we are..¡± Chapter 572 - Chapter 572: Sending Something to President Zuo (2) Chapter 572: Sending Something to President Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 Who wouldn¡¯t think too much if she were to deliver such a big gift box to Zuo Hancheng directly to the hotel where Zuo Hancheng was staying at night? Moreover, Minister Qin¡¯s tone was ambiguous. Anhao wasn¡¯t an idiot, so she could tell what Minister Qin was thinking. ¡°Minister, I can¡¯t give this to you.¡±Anhao pushed the gift box back.¡± I¡¯ll contact Shengling Group as soon as possible about the design drawings, but it¡¯s not easy for me to meet someone like President Zuo. I¡¯m quite familiar with Assistant MO, who works beside President Zuo. I¡¯ll give the design drawings to MO Zhuli later and ask him to give it to President Zuo. It won¡¯t delay anything.¡±¡± Minister Qin looked at her for a while.¡± ¡°No, Minister Qin. Actually, it¡¯s mainly because our design department can¡¯t rush out the design drawings tonight. The earliest we can come up with is tomorrow morning after the statistics are done before we can come up with a complete and revised proposal. So, you should go personally to deliver the things tonight, or leave it to someone else.¡± ¡°How can that be? I think President Zuo only cares about you, and we get along well. I specially prepared some gifts for President Zuo. Actually, it¡¯s not something expensive. You know, we¡¯re in politics, and he¡¯s in business. I¡¯m giving him something, and there¡¯s no bribery involved. You don¡¯t have to think too much. Send this to Huangge Hotel tonight. You have to give it to him.¡± Minister Qin pushed the box in front of her again. Anhao paused.¡± Minister Qin, I really can¡¯t send you off¡­¡± ¡°Director Gu.¡± Minister Qin suddenly changed his tone to a slightly heavy and serious only noon now. If you want to consolidate the plan for this week, one afternoon is enough. Take the new design drawings and the new house at night and go to Huangge Hotel to show President Zuo.¡± Orders? Although he was her leader, this was not the army. What orders were there? However, even if Anhao was unwilling to accept it, she couldn¡¯t reject it too harshly. She took another look at the gift box. No matter what was inside, she had to go to Zuo Hanchengs hotel in the middle of the night to knock on his door and give him something. This¡­Just thinking about it was too strange¡­ ¡°Qin¡­¡± Minister Qin did not give her a chance to refuse and pushed the thing in front of her.¡±President Zuo will finish his project negotiation after 7:30 tonight. He should be back at the hotel to rest around 8:00. Try to deliver it before 10:00 in the evening so as not to disturb President Zuo¡¯s rest.¡± ¡°Oh right, there¡¯s more.¡± Before Anhao could speak again, Minister Qin said,¡±¡±A few days ago, the deputy secretary wanted to insert a few talented people in the architectural design department. They seem to be top students who have also returned from abroad. Moreover, a few of them have quite good work experience. After observing for the past half a month, I realized that your design department is not particularly harmonious, so 1 want to change your design department.¡± Minister Qin then looked at Anhao, who had already understood the situation, and said,¡±¡±Two of them are related to the deputy secretary. They have good qualifications. I¡¯m guarding your position as the chief designer. You have to know that if I accidentally replace someone during the big change, not only will I have to return a portion of the previous deposit, but I¡¯ll also lose such a good opportunity to pave the way in the future¡­¡± Minister Qin¡¯s words sounded like he was protecting her, but in fact, it was full of threats. Anhao was even more uncertain about what was in the box. She hesitated for a long time and looked at the box in front of her. Firstly, Minister Qin would not dare to harm Zuo Hancheng. He would not have time to suck up to Zuo Hancheng. Secondly, Minister Qin was a government official, so he naturally did not need to bribe a businessman like Zuo Hancheng with money. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng was not short of money. Thirdly, since Zuo Hancheng had checked into the Huangge Hotel, which was usually reserved for provincial and municipal leaders, there should not be any other problems since the security facilities were complete. But even so, he still didn¡¯t want to. Just thinking about the scene of her delivering something made him wish he could crack a hole in the ground and crawl into it! However, she definitely could not lose her job now. She was short of money to begin with. She had already planned to hand over the security deposit to the entrusting company. The reason she returned to China was not for her job or for her face, but to find out what happened to her mother, An Ping, back then. Seeing that Anhao was silent for a while, Minister Qin took the opportunity to push the things into her arms.¡±¡±Remember to send it to President Zuo tonight. You must, must, send it!¡± The things were already piled up in her arms. Anhao lowered her eyes to look at the gift box in her arms. It wasn¡¯t very heavy, but it wasn¡¯t weightless either. The gift box was tightly sealed. It was obvious that no one was allowed to open it before it was handed over to the last person to receive the gift. Once it was opened, it would definitely be discovered by the last person to receive the gift. ¡°l don¡¯t know if the design will be ready by this afternoon. Let¡¯s talk about this later¡­¡± Anhao hurriedly returned the item to Minister Qin. Minister Qin smiled and pressed the gift box in her arms.¡± If I ask you to send it, just do it. Don¡¯t talk so much. Director Gu, you¡¯ve been working here for so long, so you should know my temper. I¡¯m not making things difficult for you. It¡¯s just that President Zuo helped you in T City before and gave you some face, so I think you have the ability to help me facilitate some things in front of President Zuo. Trust me, it¡¯s not a bad thing. I just want to build a relationship with President Zuo and use the east wind between you and President Zuo.¡± Minister Qin patted the gift box in her arms again.¡±You have to finish the design tonight and send it along with this gift box. I don¡¯t want to repeat myself, Director Gu.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She saw a hint of danger in Minister Qin¡¯s eyes, but she nodded. She knew that it was useless to say anything now, so she could only take the gift box and leave. Back to the office, the office, the office, the people saw her hands, the number, the number, the number, the exquisite gift box, all of a sudden, curious, the people looked over, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number, the number,¡±Sister Anhao, what is this? Who gave it to you?¡± Anhao did not explain. After she returned to her office, she placed the gift box on her desk. She wanted to put this matter aside for now, but when she came back from lunch, she saw the gift box quietly placed on her desk.. When she thought about how she had to take the initiative to meet Zuo Hancheng tonight and even go to the hotel to give him this box, she felt that¡­His head hurt so much that it was about to split open¡­ Chapter 573 - Chapter 573: Sending Something to President Zuo (3) Chapter 573: Sending Something to President Zuo (3) Translator: 549690339 8:45 pm, Huangge Hotel near City A F. Anhao had just arrived by taxi, but before she got out of the car, she received a call. It was Minister Qin who urged her to deliver the things to Zuo Hancheng tonight. Anhao helplessly agreed to get out of the car. She held the design drafts and the exquisite gift box in her hands. When she reached the hotel entrance, she showed her ID as a staff member of the design department. Only then did the hotel staff allow her to enter. It had to be said that Zuo Hancheng had been staying in hotels quite frequently in the past few years. Whenever she heard about him recently, she had never heard of him staying at home. Thinking back to what Lin Qing had said, had he really not returned to the Gilt Scenic Garden for the past three years? Anhao paused and walked to the door of the room that Minister Qin mentioned. She saw that the door was open and was stunned for a moment. She walked over and heard the sound of someone talking inside. ¡°Mr. Mott, the fragrance in the room has been adjusted. I guarantee that there is no special smell and it will not affect Mr. Zuo¡¯s sense of smell.¡± ¡°This fragrance is only used to calm the nerves and help you sleep. It doesn¡¯t have the harmful ingredients of sleeping pills, right?¡± ¡°No, Mott, don¡¯t worry. Our hotel¡¯s fragrance is famous, and there are absolutely no harmful ingredients. If you¡¯re worried, I can give you a piece, and you can take it elsewhere to check the ingredients.¡± ¡°No need. I also heard that your hotel¡¯s fragrance is good, so I specially asked you to prepare fragrance before President Zuo comes back to see if it can improve his sleep. If it really works, if we buy this fragrance from your hotel in the future, can you sell it to the outside world?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure about that, but our hotel rarely sells anything of our own. These are all prepared for our guests. As for Mr. Zuo¡¯s insomnia, you can talk to our hotel¡¯s general manager.¡± ¡°Alright, thanks. Let¡¯s leave after we¡¯re done packing. President Zuo will be back soon.¡¯ The conversation inside stopped. Anhao was standing at the door. When Mobai walked out, he saw her standing at the door. He was even more surprised that Anhao was here. After walking out, he looked at her, then looked at the other places in the corridor. Finally, he stopped in front of her and looked at her.¡±Anhao? Why are you here?¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re here, it¡¯s easy.¡±Anhao smiled and raised the gift box in her hand.¡±¡±This is what our Minister Qin asked me to send over. There are also the new design drafts for this week. I need President Zuo to look over them. Then help me give these to him.¡± As she spoke, Anhao was about to stuff the gift box into Mobai¡¯s arms. Mobai saw the thing she had stuffed into her hands and immediately withdrew his hand. At the same time, he smiled and said,¡±¡±There are rules to this gift. Since Minister Qin asked you to send it, there must be a reason for you to send it. I can¡¯t transfer it in the middle. Moreover, President Zuo hasn¡¯t returned yet.¡± ¡°Mobai, please help me keep it. I¡¯m in a hurry to go back and don¡¯t have time to wait here.¡¯ Mobai was still smiling, but he cleverly avoided the thing in Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±¡±President Zuo is resting in the lobby of the hotel. Two people from the Chamber of Commerce and the provincial leaders have come to talk to President Zuo about the follow-up of what they said today. It has been more than half an hour. They should be back soon.¡± Anhao was about to speak when Mobai pointed at the room behind him.¡±¡±This door is open. You can go in and wait.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯ll wait outside.¡¯ Seeing that she couldn¡¯t get through to him, Anhao didn¡¯t force him anymore. She took a step back with the gift box in her hand, her eyes slowly filled with embarrassment and displeasure. Mobai saw the awkwardness in her expression and immediately smiled.¡±You¡¯re not an outsider. Didn¡¯t you enter President Zuo¡¯s office as you pleased in the past? There¡¯s nothing in this room that can¡¯t be seen. You can go in.¡± ¡°No thanks.¡± Anhao stubbornly stood outside the door. Mobai raised his eyebrows. After looking at her for a while, he nodded.¡±Then wait for a while. I¡¯ll go to the lobby to check on the situation.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. Just as Mobai was about to leave, the phone in her pocket rang. She put down the gift box in her hand and picked up the phone. After hearing the series of things that the person on the other end of the phone said, Anhao said softly,¡±¡®I¡¯ll transfer the money before midnight tonight. It won¡¯t delay progress. However, I don¡¯t have much on hand right now. I¡¯ll transfer 80,000 first and make up 20,000 in a few days. Is that okay?¡± Anhao heaved a sigh of relief after receiving permission from the other side. As she hung up the phone, she suddenly saw Mobai still standing in front of her. It was as if he had heard what she said on the phone and stopped in his tracks. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to the lobby?¡± Anhao asked him. Mobai looked back at her.¡¯ ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s expression paused for a moment before she said calmly,¡±¡±Fortunately, I have hands and feet to work on my own. Money is something that I don¡¯t feel like I need when I don¡¯t use it. When I really need it, 1 realize that it¡¯s not enough, so I¡¯m a little tight for the time being.¡± ¡°How much money do you lack?¡± Mobai looked at the design drawing in her hands again.¡±¡±Not on account of your relationship with President Zuo in the past, but on account of the fact that you and I are considered old friends, if you have any problems, you can tell me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I can handle it myself. Normally, they would be able to scrape together some money by taking on some odd jobs. It was just some living expenses.¡±Anhao smiled but didn¡¯t say anything. Mobai raised his eyebrows at the same time.¡± You¡¯re an architect. Have you done any research on interior design?¡±¡± ¡°Yes, I studied interior design for three months in my second year in the United States. However, the domestic interior design industry is saturated now, and there¡¯s no special place to make money, so I specialize in architectural design.¡± ¡°In that case, a friend of mine has a new house that needs to be designed. He¡¯s too busy and doesn¡¯t have time to think about the design plan. You can take some time to measure the size of the house and make a few designs and plans for him. If he accepts your plan, you can get at least 50,000 yuan as a design fee.¡¯ ¡°Fifty thousand?¡± ¡°That good?¡± Anhao was surprised. What friend of yours? Where was the house? Why would he give someone such a good design reward? An interior designer shouldn¡¯t be able to earn so much money now, right?¡± Chapter 574 - Chapter 574: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (1) Chapter 574: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It¡¯s a seaside villa. It¡¯s in a newly developed seaside resort in the city. The environment is not bad, but the owner of the house doesn¡¯t have time to study the renovation. It¡¯s been empty for more than half a year. If you¡¯re willing to accept this design, I¡¯ll go back and tell him that the money can be transferred to you first.¡± Mobai picked up his phone.¡± I have his contact information here. You can contact him later to discuss the design proposal.¡±¡® ¡°Assistant MO, although I¡¯m currently short of money, I don¡¯t need my former friends to help me in this way. 50,000 yuan for an interior design is a little too much.¡¯ Mobai immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at her.¡±lt¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know what 1 do for a living. The special assistant will have the opportunity to be promoted to a deputy manager by President Zuo¡¯s side in the future. My network is much more than you can imagine, and almost all the people I¡¯m familiar with are not short of money. Now that such a good opportunity to make money is placed here, others might not get it even if they try their best. You actually want to push it away?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the case. I just feel that it¡¯s a little unrealistic¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing unrealistic about it. Design is your job. If you take on a job, the money others give you is only considered to be the occasional high salary in this industry. The villa is very big and you need to put in some effort to do it. ¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Fifty thousand yuan is sometimes just the price of a bottle of wine in your class.¡±Anhao said softly and her eyes brightened.¡±Send me his contact information later. I¡¯ll try to contact the owner of the house you mentioned later.¡¯ ¡°At least you know what¡¯s good for you. The way you pushed Sangsang to reject my kindness just now was really not like your previous personality.¡±Seeing that she was willing to take the call, Mobai smiled. When he lowered his eyes to look for something on his phone, the smile on his lips was somewhat unfathomable. Anhao didn¡¯t pay attention to Mobai¡¯s expression. She only glanced at the time on her phone and didn¡¯t refute his words. She only asked anxiously,¡±¡±When is your boss coming back?¡± ¡°Look at me. I¡¯m talking to you. 1 forgot about my business. I¡¯ll go to the lobby to take a look.¡±Mobai smiled at her and turned to leave. Anhao had no choice but to stand outside Zuo Hanchengs room door alone. She saw that the room service staff had already come out and did not close the door because they had heard what Mobai had said outside the door. She looked at the open door in front of her. The light inside wasn¡¯t dazzling, but it could illuminate the room very clearly. In recent years, the country had cracked down on it, so even the high-class suites in hotels designated for government officials like Huangge Hotel wouldn¡¯t be as luxurious as those in serious hotels. The room didn¡¯t look big, but it was very exquisite. It had everything it needed. Although it looked like a standard room in an ordinary hotel, every piece of furniture and bed inside was definitely from a high-class brand. It looked low-key and simple, but it revealed how extraordinary the identity of the person who could stay here was. Actually, it was not a big deal for her to put the things inside and leave immediately. If Zuo Hancheng was really a stranger to her, she would definitely not do this. After all, it would be too rude. However, if she did this, he would know when he came back and saw her. She had only left before he came back to avoid awkwardness and the unclear relationship between the two of them. It didn¡¯t make any difference even if the item was in his hands. Why did she have to wait for him to come back and see him again in an awkward situation? Anhao glanced in the direction of the elevator, but there was no movement. Since the door was open, she walked in and put down the gift box in her hand. Then, she looked at the design drafts in her hand again and gently placed them under the gift box. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a small incense burner in the middle of the square table. Incense burner wasn¡¯t something that could be seen in ordinary hotels. It could only be seen in a special hotel like the Imperial Pavilion. Moreover, from the conversation between Mobai and the room service staff, it seemed that the incense burner could promote sleep, and it didn¡¯t have any smell. She walked over and picked up the small incense burner. It felt hot to the touch, but the bottom wouldn¡¯t burn her hand. It indeed didn¡¯t smell like this, but if she smelled it closely, she could vaguely smell some fragrance. It was very faint, and when it blended into the air, it was like a colorless and odorless feeling. The smell of it made her feel calm. It probably really had the effect of calming her mind and helping her sleep. However, after hearing Mobai¡¯s words today, it seemed like Lin Qing was not lying to her. Zuo Hanchengs sleeping condition was indeed not good, and he often had insomnia. So, what Lin Qing said that time, was everything else true? She held the incense burner in a daze for a while. Suddenly, she heard movement outside. It seemed that the elevator on this floor had stopped and the door had opened. She immediately came back to her senses and quickly put down the small incense burner in her hand. She turned around and looked at the gift box and design drafts on the table before hurriedly walking out. Just as she walked out of the door, she almost bumped into someone. Anhao subconsciously lightened her footsteps and smelled the familiar scent on his body the moment she approached him. She took a step back quickly as if it was a conditioned reflex to avoid bumping into his arms. The moment she looked up, she saw the coldness in Zuo Hanchengs eyes. Anhao immediately took a step back awkwardly and opened the door for him.¡±Minister Qin asked me to come over to give you something. I¡¯ve already delivered it, so I won¡¯t disturb your rest.¡± As she spoke, Anhao wanted to walk around him. ¡°Wait.¡± Zuo Hanchengs voice was suddenly low and cold. His voice sounded calm, but it was so low and cold that it made Anhao¡¯s back stiffen and she stopped in her tracks. ¡°What gift?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked back at her and walked in indifferently. Anhao stood outside the door and hesitated for a while. She knew that he wanted her to go in and talk to him. When she saw Zuo Hancheng turn on the brightest light in the room after entering, she had no choice but to go in. However, she only took a few steps through the door and did not go deeper. ¡°Didn¡¯t you not approve the design draft that I handed to President Zuo last week? We made a new one this week. Minister Qin said that you would be staying at the Royal Pavilion Hotel tonight and asked me to send the design drafts over. I also helped him bring the gift box over for you..¡± Chapter 575 - Chapter 575: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (2) Chapter 575: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng seemed to have seen the exquisite gift box on the table and the design drafts under it. ¡°If there¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll wait for you to finish reviewing the manuscript before sending someone to Shengling Group to get the results. I¡¯m sorry to disturb President Zuo so late at night. 1 still have something to do.¡± Anhao said as she prepared to leave. Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her and did not even see the gift box. He picked up the design drafts and took a look at them. Anhao was about to leave the room when he suddenly heard his voice.¡±ls this the new plan you came up with this week?¡± She stopped in her tracks and looked up at him. She was still very clear about what kind of attitude she had to face when it came to the design drafts. She immediately replied, ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zuo Hancheng threw the design draft on the table and said, ¡±Are you sure you changed it?¡± Anhao glanced at him silently and walked in again. She looked at him with uncertainty and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already opened the gift box beside him. She picked up the design drafts on the table and looked at them repeatedly.¡±That¡¯s right. There were indeed changes. Although the changes weren¡¯t very big, that was because they were made on the most basic design drafts.¡¯ Anhao said as she handed the script to Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±The changes to the front and back corridors are the biggest. There are also plans for these corners and here¡­ She pointed at every changed position on the design.¡± This is very different from the previous design drafts¡­¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not look at the design drafts that she handed over, nor did he accept them. He only opened the gift box and looked at her when he saw the contents. Anhao sensed the sharpness in his gaze and looked up at him. She saw that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in his dark eyes. Before she could understand it, she saw a faint sneer on Zuo Hanchengs cold face. Seeing his expression, Anhao wanted to explain the changes to the design drawings, but her words were stuck in her throat.¡±¡±Left¡­¡± ¡°Your Minister Qin really went through a lot of trouble.¡±Zuo Hancheng said in a strange manner. Then, he glanced at the gift box on the table again.¡±Redo the design drafts. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± Wash¡­ Shower? Anhao immediately looked at his back with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.¡±¡±Left¡­ President Zuo, if you¡¯re not satisfied with the design drafts, I¡¯ll take them back now. We¡¯ll change the proposal tomorrow. If you want to take a shower, go ahead and rest early. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond, but his back view was cold. Anhao felt inexplicably nervous when she saw this. Especially when his gaze just now was too secretive and deep. For some reason, there was a feeling of being stabbed in the back. Based on her sixth sense, she felt that she should leave first. As Zuo Hancheng walked towards the bathroom, he took off his suit jacket and placed it on the bed. As he opened the bathroom door, he suddenly looked back at her.¡¯Did Minister Qin say anything before he asked you to come over?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know why he had changed the topic to the gift box again, so she immediately added,¡±¡±He didn¡¯t say anything. He just asked me to bring the design to you tonight and help him deliver the gift box to you.¡± ¡°Other than that, nothing else?¡± Zuo Hanchengs gaze was cold, as if he was hiding some kind of emotion. Anhao was actually worried that Zuo Hancheng would misunderstand her motives and think that she had taken the initiative to give him some gifts in order to get him to quickly approve the design plan, so she quickly explained,¡±¡±Minister Qin seems to need your help with something, so he prepared something for me to give to you. Although I don¡¯t know what¡¯s in the gift box, I think it¡¯s just a small gift. I don¡¯t know Minister Qin¡¯s purpose, but he asked me to bring it over. He¡¯s my leader, so I can¡¯t disobey him, so I sent it along with the design drafts.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly smiled meaningfully and coldly as she finished speaking. He opened the bathroom door and walked in. While Anhao¡¯s mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts, he said,¡±¡±See for yourself what¡¯s inside.¡± Seeing that the bathroom door was closed and the sound of water could be heard not long after, Anhao came back to her senses and turned to look at the exquisite gift box on the table behind her. She felt that Zuo Hanchengs gaze was too strange. She walked over and lowered her head to take a look inside. Her eyes instantly turned from blank to surprised. Then, she suddenly reached out and took out the messy things inside to take a closer look. It was actually a box of a well-known international brand of ultra-thin condoms! There were also a few erotic toys that made people blush and their hearts race! Including the sexy lingerie that looked very suitable for her! Anhao almost exploded the moment she saw what was inside. She thought of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm expression after seeing what was inside and the look he gave her at that time¡­ Anhao almost cursed again! Why would Minister Qin ask her to give such a thing to Zuo Hancheng? He actually used such a dirty trick on her! This was not asking her to send something over. It was obviously asking her to give herself to Zuo Hancheng! No wonder Minister Qin looked so happy when he suspected that there was something fishy going on between her and Zuo Hancheng. It was as if he was planning something. In the end, he was waiting for her here. Could it be that they thought Zuo Hancheng was interested in her, so they wanted her to come to the hotel in the middle of the night to deliver these messy things so that Zuo Hancheng would understand what they meant, and after enjoying this ¡°gift¡±, he would be able to smoothly agree to help Minister Qin with those troublesome matters? Anhao quickly put away the things and turned around to pick up the messy things and leave. She wanted to destroy them quickly! However, Zuo Hancheng took a quick shower. Just as she was about to leave, the bathroom door opened. Anhao did not dare to look back and was about to rush out of the door. She did not want to stay there for another second. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡±¡±You don¡¯t want the design drafts anymore?¡± She froze and looked up at Zuo Hancheng, only to see that he was staring at her with a deep gaze. Her throat felt hot as she felt that her anger was rising from Minister Qin¡¯s anger. If this continued, she would probably be so angry that her throat would go hoarse! She turned around and walked back to the table. She swiftly picked up the design drafts on the table and put them into her bag. Then, she turned around and walked out quickly. As she walked, she said,¡±I didn¡¯t know that Minister Qin wanted me to deliver these things. I¡¯ll take them away immediately!¡¯ However, before Anhao could reach the door, Zuo Hancheng had already closed the door in front of her.. Chapter 576 - Chapter 576: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (3) Chapter 576: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (3) Translator: 549690339 However, before Anhao could reach the door, Zuo Hancheng had already closed the door in front of her. Anhao suddenly looked up at the tightly shut door and Zuo Hancheng, who was looking down at her. The lights in the room were very bright, but the corridor lights in front of the door were a little dim. When she met the darkness in his eyes, she quickly turned her face away and raised her hand to open the door, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by him. He had just taken a shower and his hands were still a little cold, but Anhao suddenly felt hot. Just as she was about to pull her hand away from his, Zuo Hancheng took the gift box from her hand and said,¡±¡±Why take it away? Since it was a gift¡¯ that Minister Qin had specially sent over, and he had prepared it so well, how could I not enjoy it?¡± Anhao¡¯s back stiffened when she heard that. She turned her head abruptly to ask him what he meant, but just as she turned her head, Zuo Hancheng suddenly approached her. She subconsciously took two steps back until she leaned against the door. There was no way to retreat. She looked at the flickering light in Zuo Hanchengs eyes with surprise and shock. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Anhao stared into his eyes with a pair of clear eyes. Based on her understanding of Zuo Hancheng, she was sure that he would not accept Minister Qin¡¯s good intentions¡¯ so easily, not to mention that it was such a ridiculous thing! That was why she instinctively believed that Zuo Hancheng would not do anything to her. They had been divorced for so long, and the two of them seemed to be on two parallel lines. There was no way he would do anything to her just because of that. Therefore, she was very calm when she asked the question, but she was shocked by his current attitude. He definitely wouldn¡¯t do anything to her, but what was he trying to do now? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, making it difficult for her to see him clearly and understand him. However, it was not that she could not sense the dangerous aura that he was emitting, nor was it that she could not sense the atmosphere that made her heart skip a beat when he approached her. ¡°You brought something to my door. Why do you say I¡¯m doing this?¡±Zuo Hancheng naturally raised his hands so that she could see his movements clearly. He placed his hands on both sides of her body and looked down at her face that was just inches away from him. The slightly cool air was filled with his scent, and the man¡¯s silhouette was in front of her eyes. It was familiar, but it also felt like a stranger. However, when Zuo Hancheng bent down to get close to her, Anhao tried her best to remain calm, but her hands were clenched into fists by her sides. As his face got closer and closer, she suddenly opened her bright eyes and looked at him. She did not believe that he would really be able to kiss her eyes just like that! As expected, she knew Zuo Hancheng a little. When his lips were a finger away from hers, he did not move any closer. He just looked at the glimmer in her eyes. There was no change in his dark eyes. He looked devilish and cold. She could not understand him or guess him. She only knew that he would not really kiss her. Zuo Hancheng was a man of principle. How could he be so affectionate towards a little girl who had caused trouble everywhere? However, Lin Qing¡¯s words lingered in her mind. Just as Anhao was thinking about Lin Qings words and her eyes were flickering, Zuo Hancheng noticed that she was distracted again at this time. His dark eyes narrowed dangerously and his slightly cold lips landed accurately on hers. Anhao shuddered and raised her eyes in disbelief. However, her eyes met with the dark abyss in his eyes. She raised her hand to resist, but Zuo Hancheng had already seen through her intentions. He held her hand in place and squeezed his leg between her legs before she could lift her leg, not giving her any room to resist. The kiss that was originally a light kiss gradually deepened due to her struggle and resistance, as well as her slightly flustered expression, until Anhao felt that their intertwined lips and teeth were already mixed with the smell of blood¡­ He didn¡¯t know whose lips and tongue he had bitten, or who was the one who was being ruthless. In short, he would not have it easy even if she was in pain. Seeing that she could not push him away, Anhao decided to bite him back. In the end, Zuo Hanchengs teeth returned with the same force, and the taste of blood in her mouth became even stronger. However, this fishy sweetness was like an aphrodisiac. He, who had been like a stranger in front of her these days, was like a wild beast that had been released from its cage. He bit her even more fiercely. Anhao groaned in pain, but she could not free her hand from his grip. He did not know how long they had been entangled in this way. In the end, Anhao¡¯s breathing was almost completely taken away by him. She was almost out of breath and desperately pushed and bit him. Zuo Hancheng finally let go of her, but at the same time, he released his hands that were shackled on both sides of her body to give her freedom. Before Anhao could catch her breath, she looked up and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already turned around and walked away. He left her in front of the door as if he didn¡¯t care about her at all. It was as if the two of them were entangled in a bloody battle just now, and it was just a dream. However, there was the taste of blood in her mouth, as well as his taste. Anhao was so angry that she wanted to curse. She raised her hand to wipe the blood on her mouth as she glared at his back as if nothing had happened.¡±Zuo Hancheng, did you find a dog to be your master for the past three years? You bite so hard!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not turn his head around. When he turned his back to her and unwrapped the towel around his lower body, Anhao looked at his back in shock. She could not believe that he was so shameless now. Luckily, he didn¡¯t turn around. With his back facing him, he picked up the bathrobe and put it on. Anhao glared at him, but he replied with his back facing her, ¡±¡¯You¡¯re about the same. If you really have a master, we might even be from the same sect.¡¯ ¡°..¡±Anhao choked for a moment. When she finally realized that he meant that she had bitten him quite hard, the corners of her mouth twitched. As if venting her anger, she wiped her mouth with her hand and already said that Minister Qin asked me to bring those things over. Maybe he thought that you were interested in me, so he designed such a scene. Even I was kept in the dark. If I knew what was in the gift box, I wouldn¡¯t have given them to you even if I was beaten to death.¡± First, she was fooled by Minister Qin as if she was an idiot, and now, she was bitten by Zuo Hancheng for no reason. Now, she only felt a burning pain in her mouth. She never knew that Zuo Hancheng had a beast side. If she had not struggled so hard just now, he would have bitten her to death. It was also possible that he would directly suck her blood dry! Chapter 577 - Chapter 577: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (4) Chapter 577: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng did not turn around. Anhao looked up and saw that he was tying the belt of his bathrobe. She did not want to stay there any longer. She reached for the door handle behind her and don¡¯t know what happened between you and Minister Qin, but 1 must have been crazy to agree to help deliver this thing today. This won¡¯t happen again in the future.¡± After saying that, she looked at the design in her hand unwillingly.¡±Also, since we¡¯ve already said so much, I don¡¯t mind saying more. I¡¯ve seen all the designs that our design department has made. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll reject them immediately after taking a look at them. We¡¯re all educated people. You, Zuo Hancheng, will definitely not involve yourself in these innocent designs because of our past relationship. I sincerely hope that you can find time to seriously review our designs before making a decision. Don¡¯t reject them again and again.¡± You should know that there are more than ten employees in the design department waiting for your approval. Do you feel superior torturing us, the low-level employees?!¡± After she finished speaking, Anhao picked up the gift box on the ground and stared at his unmoved back with an ugly expression. ¡°Are you done?¡± Finally, Zuo Hancheng opened his mouth and turned around. He was wearing a bathrobe, and his black hair was still a little loose. A few strands of his short hair were hanging on his forehead because of the dampness. Although the bathrobe was tied up, the bathrobe was still slightly open on his upper body. Just like three years ago, water droplets rolled down his chest, which could make any woman have a nosebleed. They slowly slid down his chest and into his lower abdomen under the bathrobe. She looked casual and sexy. The moment Anhao met his gaze, she instinctively became wary, afraid that he would come over again and do something. She raised the design drafts in her hand and said,¡± Today¡¯s incident is a lesson for me to trust Minister Qin so easily. However, regarding the design drafts, I still hope that you can¡­¡± ¡°My patience and time are definitely not as much as you think.¡±Zuo Hancheng interrupted him coldly. He stood under the light and looked at her coldly. His eyes were cold and indifferent. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and he indeed looked impatient. Anhao immediately took back the manuscript in her hands.¡±¡±Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll get another design draft as soon as possible by the end of next week. I hope I can improve it step by step until you¡¯re satisfied!¡± She solemnly put the manuscript back into her bag.¡±lt¡¯s getting late, so I won¡¯t disturb President Zuo¡¯s rest anymore.¡± She held the rotating handle of the door and said before opening the door,¡±As for Minister Qin, please think about it later. I don¡¯t want this to cause trouble for both of us.¡¯ Zuo Hanchengs eyes turned colder when he heard the word ¡®trouble¡¯. ¡°Gu Anhao, you were the one who was called by Minister Qin to stand behind me at the dinner party. You were the one who stayed opposite me in T City on a business trip. You were the one who needed help at the design exchange meeting.¡± The more Anhao listened, the stiffer her expression became. She gripped the doorknob behind her. She had been trying to avoid him, but now it sounded like she was trying to get close to him. ¡°Now you¡¯re saying that I¡¯m the one who caused you Zuo Hancheng spoke, he stared at her coldly with his dark and calm eyes. At the same time, he raised his cold eyebrows. His gaze was so sharp that it made one shudder. Anhao endured it and didn¡¯t retort, nor did she argue or argue about who was right or wrong. She only curled her lips and said coldly,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll be more careful in the future.¡± He directly opened the door to the room and wanted to let the dragon rise into the sky. However, just as the door was slightly opened, a gust of wind seemed to blow behind her. The door was slammed shut. She looked up abruptly and saw Zuo Hanchengs outstretched hand. Then, she turned to look at him. He had one hand on the door and was looking down at her from above. He didn¡¯t do what he did just now, but Anhao still felt that her breathing wasn¡¯t smooth even though she was standing very close to him. She immediately took a small step back and held the strap of the gift box tightly in her hand. She tried her best to suppress her emotions and said,¡± President Zuo, you are the one who has the right to reason. No matter what, it is my fault. I have already said that this is a misunderstanding and I have apologized. I beg you¡­¡± Don¡¯t be too calculative!¡± Anhao said the last few words through gritted teeth. Zuo Hancheng was still looking at her, his expression cold and indifferent. She could not tell what he was thinking. She did not want to think about what the glimmer in his eyes meant. There was only a flame burning in her heart. If she did not leave this place now, she was afraid that all the self-control she had trained for the past three years would be completely crushed in front of him. ¡°Miss Gu.¡± Zuo Hancheng opened his mouth and spoke in a low and cold voice. His seemingly distant tone made Anhao wary. She met his gaze and saw Zuo Hancheng looking at her with an ambiguous gaze.¡±You showed up in my room at 9 pm with this thing. Do you think I¡¯ll let you go so easily?¡± Anhao understood the meaning behind his words and her face instantly turned red and white. She was red because the various products in the box were too difficult to describe. There were even some products that she had never seen in the Japanese blockbusters that Chunchun had sent her when she was in school. They were simply all kinds of products that made people blush and their hearts race. What was worse was that Zuo Hanchengs words had made her wary of him. ¡°I¡¯ve already said many times, I didn¡¯t mean to send these things over! This is not what I meant!¡± Anhao forced herself to calm down. Zuo Hanchengs lips curled into an ambiguous smile as he looked at the anger and humiliation that she was enduring.¡±¡±When you¡¯re angry, you can¡¯t do anything about it. Isn¡¯t it very comfortable?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze was full of surprise as she looked at him. However, she saw the smile in Zuo Hanchengs eyes. It was as if it was carrying a mist. She didn¡¯t understand the meaning hidden in his sudden words. In the next moment, Zuo Hanchengs hand hooked her chin. He looked down at her with a cold and ambiguous gaze. Anhao shuddered. She had almost reached her limit. Just as she was about to raise her hands into fists, Zuo Hancheng suddenly snorted. ¡°Gu Anhao actually learned to endure until this day. It seems that you have grown a lot in Boston these past three years.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he had already put down his hand just as she was about to get angry and directly fall out with him. However, his eyes were still filled with ridicule..¡±You¡¯ve grown up and come back, but you don¡¯t recognize me anymore? Hmm?¡± Chapter 578 - Chapter 578: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (5) Chapter 578: Entanglement, Violent Kiss (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°You¡¯ve grown up and come back, but you don¡¯t recognize me anymore? Hmm?¡± Anhao listened to her and her eyes trembled. Suddenly, she looked at Zuo Hancheng coldly, only to see the obvious mockery and slight alienation in his eyes. After being back for so long, it seemed like this was the first time that she was facing Zuo Hancheng and the past three years ago. It was as if the two lines that had always been parallel had finally crossed again, but it was only because of the past that a gap had appeared on the line. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry about what happened back then.¡±Since they had already reached this stage, Anhao did not hide anything anymore. She looked up at Zuo Hancheng, her voice cold and calm. ¡± Before I left, I caused you so much trouble and caused so much trouble for no reason. You even had to waste time to remove those obstacles step by step. I apologize to you for everything that happened three years ago, but I don¡¯t seem to have the ability to make up for it. Withdrawing from your life, withdrawing from your world, giving you peace, and letting me clean myself and live again is already the best choice for you and me.¡± As she spoke, Anhao looked into Zuo Hanchengs eyes.¡±¡± I already know all the reasons for the misunderstanding back then. Now that I¡¯m standing here, and President Zuo rarely has the time to talk to me about what happened three years ago, 1 can only say that Gu Anhao was indeed childish, willful, heartless, and unreasonable back then. Fortunately, President Zuo has finally come to his senses and is finally willing to let us both live.¡± Anhao stood up straight.¡± I¡¯m glad that everything that happened after I came back to the country was because of you, President Zuo. Otherwise, everything wouldn¡¯t have gone so smoothly. Although it seems that we have nothing to do with each other, I can feel that you have taken care of me very much. I will think about my future clearly and walk down the path clearly. I won¡¯t be as childish and impulsive as before. Don¡¯t worry, President Zuo!¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s every word was spoken carefully. It sounded polite, but it was full of distance and provocation. The submission hidden under the apology and the dissatisfaction hidden under the gratitude were not really hidden under her upright and humble expression. Zuo Hancheng had one hand on the door the entire time. He looked indifferent as he held the door. He looked down at Anhao, who was only wearing flat shoes today. He heard every word she said clearly, but because of her words, his calm and deep black eyes darkened even more. However, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes. Seeing that he had no intention of letting her out, Anhao frowned.¡± Is it already too late for me to leave?¡± ¡°Stay. I¡¯ll get the driver to send you tomorrow morning.¡± His words were neither light nor shallow, but the hidden meaning was quite deep. Anhao looked at him in surprise.¡± I already said that I didn¡¯t mean to give those things. Why should I stay?¡± Was it fun to tease his ex-wife, Zuo Hancheng?¡± Zuo Hanchengs eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard him calling him by his name again. He seemed to be in a good mood all of a sudden. He lowered his eyes and looked at her angry expression, as if she was about to show her cat¡¯s paw if she was forced to. He raised his other hand abruptly as if he would not stop until he saw her hair stand on end. He held the back of her head and the back of her neck tightly with his palm, forcing her into his arms. Anhao was so shocked that she wanted to step back. While struggling, she glared at him.¡±What are you doing? Don¡¯t do anything rash¡­¡± However, in the next moment, she had already fallen into his embrace. The moment the familiar embrace and the familiar touch enveloped her, Anhao froze for a moment. Suddenly, she heard him whisper in her ear,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t miss me at all in the past three years? Hmm?¡± ¡°..¡±Miss your head! Anhao raised her hand to push him away, replying with her actions. Zuo Hancheng smiled coldly and leaned forward to kiss her ear. The moment Anhao trembled, the kiss turned into a flirtatious kiss. Just as Anhao was about to turn her head away to resist, he said softly,¡±¡±Since the things have been sent over, how can we not use them? It just so happens that we haven¡¯t tried the thing in the box three years ago. Why don¡¯t we try it tonight?¡± Anhao¡¯s mind was filled with the images of the few sex toys in the box. Her face turned red in an instant. She raised her hand to push her head away, but Zuo Hancheng turned his head to the side and avoided her hand perfectly. The palm that was on the back of her neck had already reached down to her waist. His other hand moved away from the door. He held her in his arms and was about to press her against the door. Anhao¡¯s red face was gradually replaced by anger. It was not that she could not tell that Zuo Hancheng was deliberately humiliating her. When he raised his hand and was about to control her face, Anhao took the opportunity to bite his arm hard. Zuo Hancheng did not move from her sudden bite. He did not make any other movements with his other hand. He only stared at her mouth that was biting hard. Seeing the anger in her eyes, he curled his lips into a faint smile and sneered at her as she stretched out her paw. Anhao took a bite and did not vent her anger. However, she saw something in Zuo Hanchengs eyes. She immediately lifted her foot and stepped on his foot when he was not paying attention. Although she was not wearing high heels, the soles of her flat shoes were very hard. Moreover, he had just come out of the shower and was only wearing the slippers from the hotel. They were very thin, and the pain of stepping on them could be seen from his expression that instantly turned pale. However, he still did not move, but the smile in his eyes became more obvious. Anhao¡¯s heart was beating wildly. With his pale face and expression, she forcefully grabbed the box on the ground and threw it into his arms.¡±lf you like to use it, then take it yourself! I¡¯m not interested!¡± After saying that, she took the opportunity to quickly open the door and rush out without looking back. The door behind her was forcefully opened by her, and then closed forcefully due to inertia. The moment the door slammed, Anhao was shocked. She ran to the elevator door and felt that it was not going to work, so she ran straight to the exit of the emergency exit. Only then did she turn back to look in the direction of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s room. Seeing that he had no intention of chasing after her, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, just because he didn¡¯t chase after her now didn¡¯t mean that he wouldn¡¯t come out later. After all, when the two of them were struggling just now, the bathrobe that was casually tied on his body had already loosened by more than half. If he, who seemed to have everything under control, really wanted to use Minister Qin¡¯s things to disgust her tonight, there was no need for him to chase after her. She would be immediately intercepted by others when she ran downstairs.. Chapter 579 - Chapter 579: Damn Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 579: Damn Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao felt that she needed to make a call for help. But when Huang Amao drove the car to Huangge Hotel to pick her up and she got into the car safely, Anhao realized that she was worrying too much. Zuo Hancheng never came out after that. Was he hiding his image as a hooligan in his room? If he went out, he had to put on human skin and be a male god that everyone admired. He didn¡¯t want to expose his beastly side because of her, right? Anhao got into the car and Huang Amao saw her expression as if she had just eaten a bitter gourd.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you say that you would be here tonight to deliver the design drafts? Did Zuo Hancheng make things difficult for you again? Why do you have such an expression?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to die!¡± Anhao angrily said ¡± three words ¡± before closing her eyes and leaning back on her seat. Luckily, she didn¡¯t take out the box. Otherwise, if Huang Amao knew that she had stupidly given that kind of thing to Zuo Hancheng, he would definitely laugh at her until everyone in the city knew about it. Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched when he saw Anhao¡¯s angry expression. He didn¡¯t press her any further and only glanced at her face. Suddenly, he saw that Anhao¡¯s lips seemed to be red and swollen under the light of the street lamp outside the car window. On closer inspection, it seemed to be an ambiguous bite mark. When she remembered that Zuo Hancheng was the one staying in Huangge Hotel, Huang Amao looked as if he had discovered a new world. He did not ask anything and only glanced at Anhao, who had her eyes closed as if she was unwilling to face this world.¡±Bad mood? Going home or drinking? Shall I accompany you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drinking anymore. I¡¯ve only returned to the country not long ago, and I¡¯ve drunk too many times. I feel like I¡¯m about to be terminally ill and need to recuperate! Rest!¡± Anhao raised her hand and made a weak gesture.¡±l need to go home and take a shower¡­¡± Actually, she had only wanted to take a shower to wash away the smell that Zuo Hancheng had left on her body. However, Huang Amao¡¯s thoughts went astray when she heard this. Oh my god, oh my god, just how far had Anhao and Zuo Hancheng progressed inside? She actually wanted to go back and take a shower? Huang Amao held back his curiosity and didn¡¯t ask any more questions. However, he would occasionally look at Anhao¡¯s sad expression through the rearview mirror and snicker from time to time. In the end, he couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±l said, alright. You and Zuo¡­¡± Before he could finish, Anhao looked down at her phone that suddenly rang. Seeing her serious expression when she looked at the phone, Huang Amao temporarily stopped talking and didn¡¯t continue asking. The text message was from MO Bai. It was the address of the seaside villa project and an unfamiliar phone number. He explained a few things about the project and the owner of the villa, Ping Jin, was very busy. The owner of the house was Mr. V. Mobai told her to try her best to contact that person by sending a message or email. When Mr. V had time to read the message and email, he would reply to her. If the matter of the house was confirmed, Mr. V would take the initiative to call her when he had time. It wasn¡¯t strange for her to contact him via text or email. She had received a similar project when she was interning in the United States. Of course, the money wasn¡¯t so much. He was also a very famous person. The other party seemed to be an international movie star who couldn¡¯t show his face in front of ordinary people. He needed an architectural design, so he contacted her in such a way that they didn¡¯t meet or hear each other. Anyway, society was developed now. She could see the proposal and design drawings clearly through text messages and emails. Moreover, she only needed to leave a voice message to the other party. The other party only needed to answer yes or no. Therefore, Mr. V might be a big shot or a big star whose true identity could not be known to ordinary people. Anhao replied to Mobai¡¯s message as if nothing had happened.¡±¡±l understand, thank you.¡± Although she felt a little guilty for accepting Mobai¡¯s favor for no reason, after she paid the 100,000 yuan to those clients, she really had no money left in her hands. Even if she had a house to live in, she couldn¡¯t live without living expenses. She couldn¡¯t let herself be so poor. If Mr. V¡¯s house was not in a hurry, she could design it while secretly taking on some scattered design jobs on the Internet. That way, she could earn a lot of money. The bad thing about Zheng F was that after paying 100,000 yuan first, they wouldn¡¯t pay before the completion of the project. They wouldn¡¯t be paid monthly and would only pay the rest after the completion of the project. She couldn¡¯t possibly starve for the next few months before the completion of the project. After exchanging a few more polite words with Mobai, she saved Mr. V¡¯s email and phone number. It was already past 10:40 pm. Mr. V must be a very busy person. Moreover, in this society, many people probably didn¡¯t sleep at this time of the night. Anhao held her phone and hesitated for a long time. Although this job that could immediately earn 50,000 yuan was too easy to come by, she did need to use her own abilities to exchange for it. Therefore, she cherished this job very much and did not want to leave a bad impression on the unfamiliar Mr. V. In the end, she was still afraid of disturbing his rest. She decided to prepare an email at night and make a few simple renovation designs before sending them to Mr. V¡¯s email to let him understand her design style first. Huang Amao was well, on the road, fiddling with his phone as if he had something on his mind. When he just walked out of the Huangge Hotel, he seemed to be about to explode with anger. Now he seemed to be in a good mood. ¡°Well, Anhao¡­¡± Huang Amao had already driven the car to the vicinity of the private villa. When he parked the car, he turned to look at her.¡±ls there still a possibility between you and Zuo Hancheng?¡± Anhao was in a much better mood because she was about to get a 50,000-yuan job. When she heard Huang Amao¡¯s words, her mouth twitched and she turned to look at her.¡±What do you think?¡± ¡°l think¡­ Huang Amao initially wanted to say that it was highly possible. After all, Zuo Hancheng was not married anymore, and Anhao did not have any other men by her side. What happened when they got divorced was not a big problem. But now, seeing Anhao¡¯s expression, he thought about the situation Anhao was in when she left and the current situation. Perhaps many things between the two of them did not seem to have any big problems, but there were many problems. Besides, if Zuo Hancheng really wanted Anhao to come back, he would not have left her in the States for the past three years. They had not been in contact for three years. It could be seen that Zuo Hanchengs ruthlessness after the divorce was not much different from Anhao¡¯s ruthlessness. The two of them looked like they had a temper that could not be pulled back by nine bulls. Tsk tsk, it was indeed hard to say.. Chapter 580 - Chapter 580: Damn Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 580: Damn Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao returned home. After taking a shower, she sat in front of the computer, relaxed. She was fighting for her 50,000 yuan. First, she made a few simple design drafts. Because she only needed Mr. V to see her design style, she did not need to be too detailed, so she did it very quickly. When it was almost midnight, she emailed some of her ideas and designs for the seaside villa to Mr. V. He also wrote his contact information into the email. If Mr. V took the time to read her email in the next few days and was satisfied with her design style, he would probably take the initiative to contact her. After sending the message, Anhao got up and was about to go to bed. Huang Amao had been crazy for the past few days, buying all kinds of face masks. She said that she wanted to be a woman in the future and not be so manly anymore. The first step was to stick to a facial mask every day. Anhao took a piece from her and stuck it on her lips. She forgot that Zuo Hancheng had bitten her lips. The moment the essence on the mask touched her lips, she cried out in pain. She quickly flipped the mask around her lips. Finally, she stood in front of the mirror and saw that her lips were still red. She cursed Zuo Hanchengs ancestors five hundred times. The next morning, when Anhao got up and brushed her teeth, she turned on her computer to check her email. There was no reply, but she knew that her email had been read. Did Mr. V not sleep at midnight last night, or did he wake up earlier than her? Anhao glanced at the time. It was only a little past six o¡¯clock. Since she had already read her email but did not reply, did she not have the time to read it or did she not have the time to reply? Or was he not interested in her design? After all, Mobai had only introduced her to this job, but it didn¡¯t mean that he was 100% sure that Nir. V would use her. However, she really needed this money now. When she sat here and stayed up late last night to draw, she really hoped that she could win the other party¡¯s favor with her seriousness and unique design style. If the email was unread, she could still continue to look forward to it. But now, she had read the email but didn¡¯t reply. What did she mean? He probably wouldn¡¯t be able to calm down when he went to work today. Anhao looked at her email seriously for a while before she turned around and walked out. Huang Amao was preparing to go back to the police station today, so she asked Anhao to take her car with her. Of course, Anhao wouldn¡¯t reject a free ride. However, on the way, Huang Amao saw Anhao sitting there with her eyes closed and a look of enjoyment on her face.¡±¡±You either ride my car or your colleague¡¯s car every day, or take a taxi or the public bus. Are you really not planning to learn how to drive? Nowadays, how many female elites in society didn¡¯t drive their own cars? How low was it to ride on someone else¡¯s car every day?¡± Anhao glanced at her.¡± Are you sure you want a road killer like me to touch the steering wheel again?¡±¡± ¡°This is not the definition of a road killer, okay? It was those idiots who didn¡¯t know how to drive at all. They could just buy a driver¡¯s license and drive on the road. Those were the real road killers. Besides, since you¡¯ve learned that lesson before, you¡¯ll definitely be more careful than any newbie when you learn how to drive in the future. There won¡¯t be any problems.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk again after I¡¯ve thought it through. I don¡¯t want to have nightmares every day.¡± Huang Amao swallowed the words that he was about to say. ¡°In the past few years, have you often dreamed of bumping into Qi Weiran?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and just smiled.¡±If it were you, you wouldn¡¯t let it go so easily either.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. After all, I heard that the situation at that time was very serious. I heard that she¡¯s now the wife of the CEO of the Yi Group and the daughter of General Qi¡¯s family. She¡¯s very powerful. Even though General Qi¡¯s family is not as powerful as before, Yi Zeyang has been very obedient to Qi Weiran after she recovered. He¡¯s especially loving¡­¡± ¡°Oh, right. Speaking of which, I mentioned that Yi Zeyang treated Qi Weiran so well. You won¡¯t feel jealous anymore, right? After all, you had a crush on him for so many years¡­When he came to our school as a guest professor, you guys even¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t feel jealous. When I was young, I was just too dependent on him because he was the only brother by my side. He was also good-looking. Any young girl would have feelings for him. I¡¯m just one of the ordinary girls. ¡°Anhao said disapprovingly. ¡°That¡¯s not the same. After all, Yi Zeyang treats you differently¡­I¡¯m just thinking that if you hadn¡¯t hurt Qi MJeiran back then and made him feel pity for her, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have treated Qi Weiran so well since they got married. Qi Weiran has also benefited from this disaster. She has received Yi Zeyangs full care and love. This is all thanks to you.¡± Anhao immediately laughed.¡± I know a little about Yi Zeyang. If he really had no feelings for Qi Weiran, he wouldn¡¯t have married her.¡± I don¡¯t know if Qi Weiran¡¯s nature is bad or not, but she¡¯s very smart. Even if she sometimes has some tricks up her sleeve and has a desire to monopolize, it¡¯s still human nature. In addition to her looks, status, and personality, it¡¯s not impossible for her to fall in love with him over time.¡¯ ¡°You really cleaned yourself up¡­¡± Huang Amao sighed.¡± Actually, when you went to America, I heard that Yi Zeyang went to look for Zuo Hancheng.¡± Anhao¡¯s calm expression suddenly showed a trace of surprise. She turned to Huang Amao and said,¡±¡±When?¡± Huang Amao was amused. What was the hurry? Back then, you left without a clear reason. Yi Zeyang couldn¡¯t leave the hospital and went to look for Zuo Hancheng when he found out about you. Even Chunchun and I couldn¡¯t sit still and rushed into Shengling Corporation.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, Anhao, don¡¯t always think that there are no people or things in A City that you miss. After you left, Shengling Group was very lively.¡± Anhao raised her hand and rubbed her temples.¡±¡±I know that you and Chunchun will go to Zuo Hancheng to question him, but wasn¡¯t Yi Zeyang accompanying Qi Weiran in the hospital at the time?¡± ¡°Qi Weiran woke up a long time ago. I suspect that the Qi family deliberately made the situation sound so serious to force you. You always say that Qi Weiran lost a lot of blood at that time. Think about it, some people died on the spot when they got into a car accident. In the end, they only had a little blood on their heads, but they just died. However, although Qi Weiran was bleeding a lot at that time, her life was not in danger. She recovered very quickly¡­¡± ¡°A person can lose a lot of blood just by injuring an artery on their wrist.. Who knows where Qi Weiran was injured at that time?¡± Chapter 581 - Chapter 581: Damn Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 581: Damn Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No matter where the injury is, it¡¯s indeed impossible for someone else to arrange the car accident. 1 really don¡¯t know how to drive, and the situation at that time¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t continue. She only said indifferently,¡±¡±ln short, I can¡¯t push all the responsibility to others. No one can control the speed and direction of my driving.¡± ¡°But why are the wipers of such a good Ferrari so bad? You said that you couldn¡¯t see the direction in front of you clearly when you were driving, and the brakes were actually a little faulty, right?¡±Huang Amao raised an eyebrow. Anhao paused and looked at her.¡± The way you talk now is a little like a police officer. When did you become a superintendent in the police station?¡±¡± Anhao had changed the topic in an instant. Obviously, Anhao didn¡¯t want to speculate and investigate too much about that incident. Perhaps the deeper she investigated, the more uncomfortable she would feel about that scene. Huang Amao didn¡¯t mention it anymore and said,¡±¡±You have to pass the exams to be an intern superintendent, and you have to have a lot of qualifications.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you always liked detective work? It¡¯s too hard for you to only be a 110 operator.¡± Huang Amao could tell that Anhao was deliberately mocking her, so he immediately braked. Anhao didn¡¯t put on her seatbelt when she got in the car and was almost thrown to the front. She hurriedly grabbed the armrest of the car door and glared at Huang Amao.¡±Murder!¡± ¡°You dare to look down on me when you¡¯re in my car? If I don¡¯t teach you a lesson, do you really think that l, Young Master Huang, have a good temper now?¡±Huang Amao rolled his eyes at her.¡± By the way, I¡¯m very curious about the blind date. Why is there no follow-up? I haven¡¯t heard any news from my parents recently. They¡¯ve suddenly become very quiet.¡± Anhao immediately recalled the man who had gone on a blind date the other day and raised her eyebrows.¡±They¡¯re probably too dissatisfied with me to even mention it to your parents, so your parents are still waiting for their reply.¡± ¡°Impossible, something is wrong.¡± Huang Amao smacked his lips and drove away after sending her to the front door of the government office. Anhao looked at the time and made sure that Huang Amao wouldn¡¯t be late if he drove to the police station. She then turned around and walked in. Minister Qin had just gotten out of the car.¡± Director Gu.¡± Hearing Minister Qin¡¯s voice, Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Minister Qin. She saw that Minister Qin was looking at her thoughtfully and seemed to have a lot on his mind. Anhao couldn¡¯t keep her expression calm when she thought of the things she had given him last night. However, when she saw Minister Qin¡¯s profound expression, she didn¡¯t immediately spill the beans and only said calmly,¡±¡±Good morning, Minister Qin.¡± ¡°Did you deliver the things I asked you to deliver last night?¡± Minister Qin raised his eyebrows.¡± Anhao curled her lips coldly, but she didn¡¯t let him see it. She only said as she walked towards the door with Minister Qin,¡±¡±Yes.¡± Minister Qin looked at her suspiciously as if he was not sure.¡±That¡¯s not right¡­¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Minister Qin¡¯s hesitant eyes. ¡°¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you referring to the fact that I gave you the designs or the things that I gave you?¡± Minister Qin was only focused on the doubts in his heart and did not pay much attention to the cold light in Anhao¡¯s eyes. After pondering for a while, he suddenly looked at her.¡±What was President Zuo¡¯s expression when he received the item yesterday? Didn¡¯t he say anything?¡± ¡°You only asked me to deliver the item. I was in a hurry at that time. After the item was delivered to President Zuo, I left immediately. The design was also ordered by President Zuo to be revised, so I didn¡¯t stay where I was to observe President ZUo¡¯s expression and what he wanted to say, right?¡±Anhao replied with a half-smile,¡±Besides, President Zuo is a busy person. He was meeting with someone in the lobby of Huangge Hotel yesterday. He definitely doesn¡¯t have time to talk to me¡­ Minister Qin seemed to think that her words made sense and nodded.¡±lt seems that this gift was given for nothing. President Zuo probably didn¡¯t even open it to take a look. Sigh, what a pity.¡± He actually dared to stand in front of her and say that it was a pity! Anhao could already hear her own fists cracking. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she wanted to transfer the project funds to her account safely after the project was completed, she really wanted to beat him up right now! Ever since she entered the design department of the political department, Minister Qin seemed to have been taking good care of her. He was cultivating her ability to work in the political department and helping her expand her interpersonal relationships. However, in the end, he was also using her! He had really discovered her use and started to use her as a weapon. ¡°Alright, you can go to work.¡± Minister Qin waved at her in annoyance and turned to leave from another elevator. Anhao stood there without saying a word. She only looked at Minister Qin¡¯s back and then turned to look at the elevator in front of her. Zuo Hancheng should be aware of Minister Qin¡¯s intention to please him after yesterdays incident, but he was afraid that Minister Qin had really shot himself in the foot this time. When the time came, Zuo Hancheng would not know how to take the time to resolve this matter. However, judging from Zuo Hanchengs attitude yesterday, he probably did not take Minister Qin¡¯s request seriously at all. When she walked into the office, the other colleagues who had already arrived earlier saw her makeup today and immediately started whispering. Zi Ran and Anhao had a good relationship, so she asked bluntly,¡±Sister Anhao, did you change your lipstick today? The color is so dark that it suits you!¡¯ Anhao¡¯s lips stiffened. She tried her best to ignore the gazes of the other colleagues in the office. She only secretly glared at Zi Ran and quickly entered the office, lest others discover her abnormality today. She did not change her lipstick on purpose! Usually, she was too lazy to even put on makeup. Because she had to go to work, she could not really wear no makeup, so she only put on the most plain and light makeup. Under normal circumstances, her lips were only colorless lip balm. Moreover, she usually looked very good and did not need lipstick to look good. She had washed her face this morning and realized that although her mouth wasn¡¯t as obvious as it was the night before, it still looked slightly swollen than usual. There were still some bite marks on her lips. As she cursed Zuo Hancheng in her heart, she went to the suitcase in the cabinet and found a lipstick that her roommate had given her for her birthday in America a year ago. The color of the lipstick was too bright red. Anhao had never used it after she accepted it, but it came in handy today. The other colleagues downstairs didn¡¯t look surprised just now. She thought that the matter was over, but as soon as she entered the office, she was stared at by a group of people. It made her feel like she was about to be seen through! This feeling was really too bad! Chapter 582 - Chapter 582: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 582: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 The email to Mr. V finally received a reply at noon. Anhao opened the email that had been online and saw Mr. V¡¯s short reply: Not bad. Did that mean that he already knew that Mobai had introduced her to him and had given his tacit approval to her design style? She could directly accept the However, Mr. V only replied with the word ¡± not bad ¡± and did not take the initiative to contact her. Even if she knew the location of his seaside villa, she did not have the key, so she could not go to measure the ruler or tour the environment. Should she take the initiative to contact Mr. V? What was the best thing to do? Mobai was also quite busy. He had helped her so much, so she couldn¡¯t keep pestering Mobai with questions. Anhao looked at the reply on the screen. She held her chin with one hand and held the pencil that she used to draw a sketch with the other hand. She stared at the screen and gradually fell into a daze. In the end, her gaze somehow fell on the email address. Then, she thought of this mysterious Mr. V. She was still curious about Mr. V¡¯s identity. Hence, he opened the webpage and searched for City A and Mr. V. However, the search results were all irrelevant news. There was no famous Mr. V in City A. Finally, he searched for him near his email address. However, he couldn¡¯t find any records of his email address. This could only prove one thing. This email address was either a newly registered email address or a private email address that had never been used for any other purpose. There was not even a single record of it on the Internet. These were the only two possibilities. Who exactly was this mysterious Mr. V? Who was this ¡®V¡¯ related to? Was it a random online name? While Anhao was staring at the screen, the phone screen on her desk suddenly lit up. Because she was not in a good mood today, she had silenced her phone early in the morning. Anyway, she was in the government office. If there was anything urgent at work, they would be able to find her when they entered the office. She glanced at the caller ID on the screen and hung up the phone. Then, she clicked on Mr. V¡¯S reply and replied: If Mr. V decides when to start, please contact me at any time. After replying, she looked at her phone again and saw that the screen did not light up again. That kid must have learned his lesson and would not call again. Anhao picked up the unfinished sketch on the table and walked out of her office. When she reached the office outside, she went to Xiao Qiu and Zi Ran and handed the sketch to them.¡±Secretary Xu asked us to make a modification plan for the gymnasium and cultural center garden yesterday morning. They want to contact the civil engineering and landscape engineering people to come over first, so you can get this sketch on the computer and modify it into a simple line version.¡± Xiao Qiu took the sketch and glanced at it without saying a word. In the office, no matter how dissatisfied Xiao Qiu was with Anhao, she knew that she couldn¡¯t say too much about her working hours. Otherwise, Anhao would be able to use her as leverage at any time. When Zi Ran took the other sketch, she raised her hand and made an OK gesture. Anhao then held her slightly aching stomach and walked out. There had been too many things to do after returning to China. She had forgotten that she had not eaten well for a few nights in a row. When she went to participate in activities, she just quickly found something to fill her stomach. Perhaps it was the sudden irregular diet that caused her stomach to hurt a little. She went out and poured herself a cup of hot water to warm her stomach. She would go to the pharmacy to buy medicine after work. As soon as she returned to the office with a glass of water, she suddenly saw Xiao Qiu and the others looking at her strangely. Anhao paused. Although the color of her lipstick was different today, these people had been staring at her for the whole morning. They would not look at her like that when she came back from pouring a glass of water. ¡°Sister Anhao, a handsome guy was looking for you just Ran broke Anhao¡¯s awkward silence. Anhao¡¯s eyes froze.¡± ¡°l don¡¯t know him. Anyway, he¡¯s a good-looking handsome man. He seems to know the section chief of our floor. He was just invited to the office for tea by the section chief, but he said that he would ask you to look for him when you come back.¡± Who was it? Such a big face? Anhao¡¯s subconscious thought of Zuo Hancheng first, but she also thought that Zuo Hancheng would not be so unreliable as to come to the political F to cause trouble for her. Moreover, Zi Ran and the rest had seen Zuo Hancheng at the banquet. Since they said that they did not know him and that he was a handsome man, then who was he? She didn¡¯t remember having any luck in love. It was impossible for a handsome man to come and look for her. After she put the glass of water into the office, she glanced at the phone on the desk and immediately had a bad feeling. She picked up the phone and looked at it again. Other than the call that she had deliberately hung up on, there were no other missed calls. That man was so calm after the call was hung up today. He probably didn¡¯t give up so easily. Perhaps he just¡­ They were charging over! Anhao picked up her phone and cursed under her breath. She cursed herself for not being prepared for this. She turned around and walked out quickly, ignoring the surprised looks of the female colleagues in the office. As the director of the design office, even if a woman came to look for her, they would look at her with all kinds of gossiping eyes, hoping that she would be in big trouble, let alone a man. I didn¡¯t see the section chief in the office, but I did see Rong Qian, who had rushed to Shanghai, sitting on the biggest desk in the section chief¡¯s office. That¡¯s right, he was sitting at someone else¡¯s desk, and he was casually reading a document beside him. No one came in to stop him, and he did not seem to be afraid that the Section Chief would see this scene when he returned. ¡°Why are you in A City again? Didn¡¯t you go to Shanghai?¡± Anhao felt her stomach ache even more when she saw Rong Qian. When he heard her voice, Rong Qian looked up at her and immediately curled his lips into a smug smile.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Why are you so excited to see me?¡± Excited my ass, he was about to vomit to death. Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. He treated the Section Chief¡¯s office like his own home and asked indifferently,¡±¡±What are you doing here?¡± ¡°l just arrived at your building, but you didn¡¯t pick up my call, so I had to come up.¡±Rong Qian said as he walked over. At the same time, he stared at Anhao¡¯s lips and suddenly said in going on? He knew that I would come in advance, so he specially drew a red lips and waited for me to kiss him?¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t know how to write the word shameless.¡±Anhao raised her hand and pushed his face away.¡±¡±This is the office of the Chief of the political department. Don¡¯t mess around..¡± Chapter 583 - Chapter 583: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 583: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Yes, it means that as long as we¡¯re not in the Section Chief¡¯s office, we can do anything.¡±Rong Qian put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled ruffian.¡±What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t welcome me?¡± Ann laughed dryly. The unwelcome look in his eyes was obvious. If he still couldn¡¯t see it, it would only prove that there was something wrong with his brain. ¡°Why did you suddenly come here?¡±She couldn¡¯t be bothered to answer his question and only asked with an unpleasant expression. She had never been nice to him in the past three years in America. Even though he had made it clear the last time he came and confessed, she still did not treat him well. After he confessed, she did not even pick up his calls. Rong Qian was not in a hurry. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the office door behind her. The Section Chief was about to come in, but when he saw Rong Qian and Gu Anhao inside, he immediately left silently and did not go in to disturb them. Anhao only noticed Rong Qian¡¯s gaze and subconsciously turned her head to look behind her, but she didn¡¯t see anything. She then turned back to see Rong Qian¡¯s expression as if nothing had happened.¡±You know the section chief on our floor?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t know him, how can 1 sit here casually?¡±Rong Qian sneered and asked back. At the same time, he glanced at her slightly dissatisfied expression.¡±There¡¯s no need to be so serious with me. Your section chief is just a relative of an old friend of my father¡¯s in the United States. I met him when I was young. When I came to visit you, I also came in to visit this elder. He knows my temper and heard that I went straight to your office. He guessed that I must have something to look for you, so he temporarily gave me this place and gave us some space to talk. You don¡¯t have to think too much.¡± ¡°l didn¡¯t think too much about it. I didn¡¯t even need to think about it.¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Stop being narcissistic.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you missed me for half a month?¡± Rong Qian snorted.¡± ¡°Miss your sister.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and walked to the door of the office to take a look. She saw that the section chief had not returned. The office was left to Rong Qian. It seemed that the relationship between the Rong family and the office was not ordinary. When she turned back, she saw Rong Qian with both hands in his pockets and a smile that deserved a useless for you to miss my sister. I¡¯m the youngest in the Rong family. If you say that you miss my sister, I can help you look for her and see when she can come back from Africa.¡¯ Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. This kid must be here to cause trouble for her. ¡°When do you get off work? Let¡¯s go out for dinner.¡±Rong Qian didn¡¯t care if she was willing to answer him or not, and just said it to himself. ¡°4:30 pm.¡± Anhao replied unhappily. ¡°So late?¡± ¡± Go and ask for leave from your leader now,¡± Rong Qian said impatiently.¡± You won¡¯t be working this afternoon.¡±¡± ¡°What a joke. If you don¡¯t let me go to work, I won¡¯t go to work?¡±Anhao glared at him with disdain. I¡¯m still at work, so don¡¯t disturb me. It¡¯s impossible for me to ask for leave in the afternoon for no reason. Our design department has been busy recently, and we¡¯re not allowed to ask for leave unless there¡¯s a serious illness.¡¯ ¡°With me around, who would dare not give you a break? Does it mean that I want you to put the afternoon aside?¡± ¡°l can¡¯t do it all afternoon. I¡¯m the director of the design department. 1 have the final say in the rules of our office.¡±Anhao looked at him coldly.¡± Besides, even if I don¡¯t work today, it doesn¡¯t mean that I want to have dinner with you. ¡± ¡± Rong Qian choked on her words, but in the end, he laughed in anger. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let you get off work then.¡± He turned around and walked straight back to his desk. It looked like he was going to sit there. Anhao stood in front of the door and saw his unrestrained actions and his attitude of not taking this workplace seriously at all.¡±¡±Hey, can¡¯t you take care of your image? Do you think this is your Rong family¡¯s business? After all, you¡¯re the heir to the Rong family¡¯s business. You usually wear a suit and sit at the table in your family¡¯s company as if no one was around?¡± ¡°Who am I to you? Why do you care so much about me?¡±Rong Qian deliberately smiled and looked at her, but he turned around and sat on the black leather sofa. Seeing that he was still tactful, Anhao did not answer him. She only looked at him twice and felt that if she continued to stand there, this young master would probably think that she was really interested in him. If she wanted to sit here and wait, she could just sit here and wait. Anyway, the Section Chief knew him. Even if he messed up the office, it was none of her business. Anhao walked out and went back to her work. When she was working in the afternoon, she almost forgot that Rong Qian was still waiting for her in the section chief¡¯s office on this floor. She was so engrossed in editing the design drafts that she even forgot to check her email. It wasn¡¯t until four o¡¯clock in the afternoon when she was done with her work that she received a call from Mobai. ¡°Anhao, Mr. V has already agreed to let you do the interior design for his new villa by the sea. You¡¯ve already contacted him, right?¡± Anhao paused for a moment, then opened her email while answering the call. She did. I sent Mr. V some of my design ideas and styles. He replied this afternoon. He should be satisfied with my design style, but he seems to be very busy.¡± ¡°Mr. V is indeed very busy.¡± Mobai didn¡¯t say much about Mr. V. He only said,¡±¡±I have the key to the villa. Wait for a while in the government office. I¡¯ll send it to you right away. You can find time to go to work and measure indoors in the next few days. As for the details of the design, you can talk to Mr. V in detail. He might not check his email often. If you¡¯re afraid of disturbing him, you can send him a message on your phone.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Anhao looked at the time.¡± It¡¯s almost 4:30 now. What time will you arrive?¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m on my way to the Haitian Building. I¡¯m about to pass by your office. Go downstairs now, I¡¯ll be there in five minutes.¡¯ Anhao hung up the phone, got up, tidied up, and went out of the office to go downstairs. Suddenly, she saw Rong Qian walking in this direction from the Section Chief¡¯s office. It was obvious that he felt that she was about to get off work, and in order to prevent her from leaving early and standing him up, he planned to come over a few minutes earlier to intercept her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? It¡¯s not even 4:30 and you¡¯re already planning to leave? Is this how you become the director of the design department? In order to stand me up, you even gave up your principles?¡±Rong Qian walked over with a face full of ridicule.. Chapter 584 - Chapter 584: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 584: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I didn¡¯t even take the folder that I need to go home from work. Which eye of yours could tell that I wanted to leave work early?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at him and walked into the elevator at the same time. After she left the police station, Anhao looked around and didn¡¯t see Mobai¡¯s car. Mobai was Zuo Hanchengs right-hand man, and he had always had a strong sense of time. Since he said that he would arrive within five minutes, then he would definitely arrive within five minutes. Anhao decided to walk down the stairs and wait by the roadside. Rong Qian walked behind her.¡± ¡°Ah, Mobai drove to Haitian Building and dropped me some things on the way.¡±Anhao said casually, but her seemingly casual words instantly made Rong Qian¡¯s face turn ugly. ¡°Mobai? Zuo Hanchengs special assistant?¡± Hearing the displeasure in his words, Anhao glanced at him indifferently.¡±¡±Yeah, you have an opinion?¡± Rong Qian looked at her for a while as if he had swallowed a fly. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and forced her to turn around to look at him. Anhao was suddenly pulled by him and staggered. She turned around and glared at him,¡±¡±Why are you pulling me?¡± ¡°Turn around. I have something serious to ask you.¡¯!At this moment, Rong Qian¡¯s face was really serious and his hand was a little heavy. It seemed that if she had been obedient, he would not just force her to turn around, but would directly drag her to a place where no one was around. Seeing that Mobai had not arrived yet, Anhao naturally knew why Rong Qian was suddenly unhappy. She was too lazy to argue with him on the roadside, so she obediently turned around and looked at him.¡±Go ahead.¡± Seeing her calm expression, Rong Qian frowned.¡±¡±Why did Mobai suddenly contact you? Did you and Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± ¡°Hey, Young Master Rong.¡± Anhao suddenly interrupted him.¡± We¡¯re just asking questions. If you¡¯re asking about Mobai, just tell us about Mobai. MJhy are you dragging Zuo Hancheng into this?¡±¡± Rong Qian¡¯s face turned even uglier when he heard her words.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, I¡¯m warning you. You and Zuo Hancheng have already divorced. If you hadn¡¯t returned to the country all of a sudden. I¡¯m afraid that you would never have the chance to see Zuo Hancheng again in this lifetime. You must know that he has never visited you in the past three years. You should know very well that he has become completely estranged from you after the divorce and that he will never return to you. I advise you not to have any improper thoughts about Zuo Hancheng. There will definitely be no possibility between you and him!¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s possible or not is my own business. Why are you in such a ¡°What?¡±Anhao sneered. Before the divorce, your sister kept trying to make her presence known in front of me. Now, your sister finally got over it and went to Africa to do charity. Now, it¡¯s you, Rong Qian, who¡¯s blocking my way? If I just wanted to have a god of fortune like Zuo Hancheng, and the reason why I came back was to find Zuo Hancheng to remarry, what could you do to me?¡± Rong Qian¡¯s face turned ugly.¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare?¡± Anhao laughed.¡± ¡°If you wanted to pester Zuo Hancheng shamelessly, you wouldn¡¯t have waited until you¡¯ve returned to the country to pester him. Back then, after Zuo Hancheng turned Qi Guyi¡¯s family upside down, you didn¡¯t plan to return to the country to look for him. Now, you¡¯re standing here and telling me that you want to remarry him. Do you think I¡¯m that easy to fool?¡± Anhao¡¯s smile faded and she shook his hand away. ¡±It¡¯s my business whether I want to remarry or not. Young Master Rong, you¡¯re stretching your hand too far!¡± Rong Qian stopped talking. He only held her wrist and did not let her shake it off. He just looked at her coldly. He finally understood the attitude behind her words. He didn¡¯t know what words he had said that had angered her and made her say such things. But when Anhao was about to shake him off, he held her wrist tightly and didn¡¯t let go. In the end, he simply compromised,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, I know what kind of person you are. Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know you. From now on, we won¡¯t talk about Zuo Hancheng anymore, okay?¡± ¡°Alright, you¡¯re the eldest young master. You can talk about whatever topic you want. The Rong family is the savior of the world. You can harm whoever you want. In the end, you can go to Africa to do charity and get the support of the fans. I can only hide in a corner quietly and do nothing.¡± Anhao sneered at him as she Young Master Rong says that it¡¯s impossible for me to be with anyone, then it¡¯s really impossible. If you tell me not to have any improper thoughts about anyone, then I can¡¯t have any improper thoughts about them. Who do you think you are?¡± Anhao snorted and raised her hand. In the end, the smile in her eyes disappeared. Her voice was so cold that there was no warmth or fluctuation. ¡°Let go. ¡± Rong Qian pinched her wrist and was furious.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, haven¡¯t you restrained your temper well these past few years? Why is your face red with anger at the mention of my sister? In the end, he still hadn¡¯t really let go of those things from back then? Then why did you pretend that the past was over in the United States for the past few years?¡± ¡°Who told you that I¡¯ve been put down? The matter is indeed in the past. I don¡¯t have that much time and energy to think about the past. But l, Gu Anhao, am not a saint. 1 am a vengeful person! ¡°Anhao heard the sound of a car approaching and guessed that it was Mobai¡¯s car. She took the opportunity to shake off Rong Qian¡¯s hand and turned to walk over. Rong Qian gnashed his teeth as he looked at her attitude of never having a good expression in front of him and definitely choking the topic. Then he saw her cold back and suddenly realized that he was looking for trouble by falling in love with her! Mobai¡¯s car stopped in front of Anhao. Seeing that Anhao¡¯s hair was a little messy and there was a little sweat on her nose, she looked like she had just gotten into an argument with someone or ran out of somewhere. He couldn¡¯t help but glance behind her. When he saw Rong Qian walking towards Gu Anhao with his hands in his pockets, Mobai raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the cold and unhappy look in Rong Qian¡¯s eyes. However, his gaze only lingered on Rong Qian¡¯s face for a second before he opened the car door and got out. Anhao suddenly walked over, Rongqian rolled his eyes, meaning you, shameless, just finished arguing with me, and now you are thick-skinned, standing next to me, what are you doing? Of course, she didn¡¯t have the time to argue with him now. She only moved two steps to the side and looked at Mobai.¡±You didn¡¯t come here to give me the key, did you?¡± Rong Qian stood still at first, but when Anhao and Mobai were talking, he suddenly moved a few steps toward Anhao. He was so thick-skinned that he approached her, with an attitude that said, even if you quarrel, you are not allowed to have any contact with Zuo Hancheng, and you can only be my woman. Chapter 585 - Chapter 585: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 585: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 Mobai felt that this scene was very strange, but when he saw the impatient expression on Anhao¡¯s face, he did not ask anything. He directly took out the key and key card and handed it to her.¡±This is the key to the seaside villa. Take some time to take the measurements. Mr. V is quite busy. After you take the size, tell him briefly about your design ideas for the villa. I might be going overseas for a business trip in a few days. If you have anything, you can contact Mr. V directly.¡± Anhao took the keys and looked at them before putting them into her bag.¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll go and take a look in the next two days. But is it inconvenient to contact Mr. V by phone? Was he the kind of person who was not used to showing his face? If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll try my best to communicate with him through emails and hand-written messages in the future. I won¡¯t violate his privacy.¡± Mobai raised an eyebrow.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Anhao nodded.¡± I don¡¯t know how to thank you for this. When I¡¯m done with my work, I¡¯ll treat you and Lin Qing to a meal. Anyway, we haven¡¯t been in contact for more than three years. You and Lin Qing should still have time for a meal, right?¡±¡± ¡°Only Lin Qing and l?¡± Mobai smiled meaningfully. Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Anhao curled her lips.¡±¡±Back then, you and Lin Qing helped me a lot. Now that I¡¯ve returned to the country and coincidentally met you, you and Lin Qing helped me again and again. I can¡¯t be so heartless and not feel grateful at all. I don¡¯t know how to repay you now. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal first as a token of my appreciation.¡± ¡°Alright, Lin Qing and 1 will be waiting for your news when I come back from my business trip.¡±Mobai raised his hand and gestured a phone beside his ear, meaning that he had to leave now and would contact him later. Anhao nodded. After Mobai got into the car, she took a step back so that she wouldn¡¯t occupy the road in front of his car. Mobai was about to drive away when he suddenly received a phone call. He sat in the car and answered the phone. It sounded like they were talking about some project. Anhao glanced at him and didn¡¯t want to disturb him anymore. She turned around and was about to leave. Rong Qian looked suspiciously at Mobai in the car and then at Anhao,¡±¡±What Mr. V?¡± Hearing his voice, Anhao, who had almost treated him as an invisible person, turned around and rolled her eyes at him.¡±Can¡¯t you just mind your own business?¡± ¡°I¡¯m asking you a question. Who is Mr. V? Where did Mr. V come from? What is that key of yours?¡± Rong Qian said as he reached for the keys in her bag to see what was going on. Anhao quickly avoided his hand and covered her bag at the same time. She looked up and glared at him.¡±Do you have any morals? He casually went through a woman¡¯s bag, but didn¡¯t he have any sense of shame?¡± Rong Qian pursed his lips and looked at her with a dark expression.¡±¡±Who exactly is Mr. V?¡± ¡± I don¡¯t know him. I¡¯m short of money recently, so Mobai introduced me to a job that requires interior design. The owner of that villa is called Mr. V or something. I¡¯ve never met him, nor have I had the time to contact him. Anyway, it¡¯s just a lucrative job. It¡¯s just interior design. It¡¯s very easy for me. I don¡¯t care if he¡¯s Mr. V or Mr. P. As long as I can make money. Why do you care so much?¡± Anhao said as she flung his hand away from her bag. Rong Qian¡¯s face darkened as he looked at her greedy expression.¡±¡±You didn¡¯t tell me you were short of money? If you follow me, you won¡¯t be short of money.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Anhao resisted the urge to give him the middle finger.¡±¡±You really can break my patience time and time again. Rongqian, I really want to curse at you.¡± Rong Qian rolled his eyes at her. Where was he? When are you going? Shall I go with you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. 1 have a chauffeur at home, and it¡¯s a female chauffeur.¡±Anhao was talking about the yellow-haired guy. She threw a cold glance at Rong Qian as she spoke. ¡°Why would I bring you to the seaside resort? If you want to develop your career in China, go back to Shanghai. Don¡¯t harass me in City A.¡± ¡°What do you mean by harassment?¡± Rong Qian looked at her ungrateful face.¡± 1 finally transferred the project to City A. From now on, 1 will stay in City A for a while. Do you think I can go to Shanghai just because you want me to?¡±¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked at him in surprise.¡±¡±No way, why did you bring the project to A City? Isn¡¯t Shanghai pretty good?¡± ¡°Why do you think I came to A City?¡±Rong Qian asked with a faint smile. ¡°..¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at him and took out her phone to read the email she had just received. She walked into the main entrance of the political hall without looking back, too lazy to deal with him. Rong Qian was already used to seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s cold and merciless back, but now he was staring at Gu Anhao¡¯s back, his handsome brows almost creasing. Gu Anhao knew that Zuo Hanchengs English name was Vllen when he was in America, so Mr. V was most likely Zuo Hanchengs idea. Was it because she did not know Zuo Hanchengs English name to the public, or did she not expect the relationship between Mr. V and Vllen? Gu Anhao was about to go back to the office, but when she entered the hall, she took the folder that Zi Ran had brought for her. She didn¡¯t have to go back to the office and could go home straight from work. Hence, Anhao took the folder out and put it in her bag. She wanted to go around Rong Qian¡¯s direction and take a taxi on the other side of the road. Rong Qian raised his hand and put his hands on his waist. He looked at Gu Anhao¡¯s back view, which was constantly opposing him. Seeing that she had walked away, he picked up his phone and called her. The call was hung up again. Rong Qian gritted his teeth and looked in the direction where Anhao had gone.¡±Damn woman! You hung up on me again!¡± Anhao had indeed gone far away. Anyway, if she couldn¡¯t get a taxi, she could still take Zi Ran¡¯s ride. As long as it wasn¡¯t Rong Qian¡¯s car, it was fine. As she hung up the phone, she turned around and glanced at Rong Qian. She raised her hand and made a disdainful gesture at him. Then, she pulled Zi Ran and quickly left the scene. A few meters behind Rong Qian, a military green military SUV¡¯s window slowly rolled down, and a cold gaze fell on Rong Qian¡¯s back. The provincial secretary, who was sitting in the car and chatting with Zuo Hancheng, who had finally found the time to come over, also looked at the young man with a different expression. There was also Gu Anhao, who had just quarreled with the young man. He remembered that she was the chief designer of the renovation project, Gu Anhao. However, she did not expect Zuo Hancheng to be paying attention to the conversation outside the car window.. Chapter 586 - Chapter 586: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (5) Chapter 586: Mr. V, Zuo Hancheng (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo, is there a problem?¡±The provincial secretary noticed that Zuo Hancheng was staring out of the window, so he followed suit and looked at the figure in the distance.¡±¡±ls there some kind of relationship between you and our designer? I seem to have heard that President Zuo appointed her as the designer of your company¡¯s future headquarters building renovation project at the exchange meeting in T City.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but his gaze had already shifted away from Gu Anhao, who had walked far away. At this time, Rong Qian was already cursing as he continued to call Gu Anhao. Unfortunately, she had turned off her phone! Rong Qian was about to go to the roadside to take a taxi and leave with an ugly expression. Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something and looked back. However, he could only see rows of cars parked quietly in the parking lot. There was no one there. He looked at her suspiciously for a while, then turned to look at the direction where Gu Anhao was long gone. He looked as if he had been angered by that woman who was as hard as a rock and snorted coldly. Heh, what bullsh * t Mr. V, this woman still hasn¡¯t completely gotten rid of those stupidity and naivety in her bones! ¡°Tomorrow is June 1st. I heard that many schools are on holiday. 1 wonder if unmarried girls like us can take a day off too.¡±Zi Ran was pulling Anhao along as they walked by the roadside, giggling as she spoke. Anhao was just about to stop Zi Ran from daydreaming when she suddenly received a call from the company that had investigated her mother¡¯s matter. When she picked up the call, she said apologetically to Zi Ran,¡±You can drive back first. I¡¯ll take a call and take a taxi home later.¡¯ ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you for a while before sending you back.¡±Zi Ran stood at the side and did not leave. Anhao glanced at Zi Ran because it was inconvenient for her to answer the call. Zi Ran then realized that Anhao¡¯s call seemed to be too convenient for her to hear. She immediately reacted,¡±Ah, then I¡¯ll wait for you in the car, Sister Anhao?¡± ¡°No need. You can go back first.¡± ¡°But 1 think it¡¯s going to rain soon. It¡¯s the rainy season when spring and summer alternate¡­ ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Anhao smiled at her again, waved her hand, and walked back to the red brick pedestrian area. Zi Ran had no choice but to leave alone. Anhao listened to the latest news on the other side of the phone while she looked down at the red bricks under her feet. She saw many ants walking back and forth between the cracks of the bricks. It seemed that it was really going to rain, and the rain did not seem to be light. ¡°l think I¡¯ll have to leave the DNA to you. After all, I¡¯ve already given you my DNA data and a bottle of blood collection bottle before I left the United States. 1 don¡¯t think 1 need to go back to the United States to personally verify it. Besides, I really don¡¯t know how to get my mother¡¯s DNA. After all¡­Putting aside your suspicion that she had passed away, she was already a person who had turned into ashes. She had no hair, no blood, and no saliva for you to use.¡± At this point, Anhao suddenly thought of the Andersons.¡±l mentioned the family in New York last time that I suspect. You can find an opportunity to go to New York and give it a try. I don¡¯t know much about the An family, but according to the traces I handed over to you and our coincidental guess back then, the An family is indeed our first target.¡± ¡°Okay, call me if you need anything, but I¡¯ve already provided you with what I can provide before I returned to China. I¡¯ll make up for the money as soon as possible.¡± After saying a few more words, Anhao saw that the sky was covered in dark clouds in an instant. The sky seemed to have darkened a lot in an instant because the wind was especially strong all of a sudden. Some of the debris on the roadside was blown up, causing the cars parked by the roadside to constantly sound the alarm. This was obviously a sign of a storm. Anhao hung up the phone and walked to the roadside to hail a taxi. However, there were no taxis near the private parking lot. If he walked to the front to take a taxi, it would probably rain already¡­ She looked around and quickly left the parking lot. She turned around and was about to go back to the square in front of the government office to get a taxi. However, the wind was blowing wildly, and the rain instantly poured down. Before she could walk back to the square, she was drenched in the rain. The rain was so heavy that it reminded her of the rainy night three years ago when she ran Qi Weiran down with her car. It was raining heavily at that time. The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and the thunder was loud. The rain was so heavy that when it fell on the ground, white fog and huge blisters appeared. The rain fell on his body and was accompanied by pain. Anhao¡¯s bag wasn¡¯t very big, so she didn¡¯t put an umbrella in it. She could only run to the square while enduring the rain. She stood by the roadside and narrowed her eyes, which were hurt by the rain, to look at the cars on the road. There were many colleagues who had just gotten off work and were also hailing a taxi. There were also a few who were also drenched in the rain like her. There were so many people hailing a taxi, but there was no empty car passing by. Almost every car was full. Anhao tried her best to roll up the bag in her arms to prevent the rainwater from seeping in and wetting some of the information bags and other things that couldn¡¯t get wet. However, if the rain continued, , no matter how good the quality of the bag was, it would inevitably get wet. Seeing that a group of people were trying to hail a taxi but couldn¡¯t get one, Anhao turned back to look at the building of the F department. She was considering whether she should just stand in the F department¡¯s office for the night. Anyway, her office was quite comfortable. If she put the chair down, she might lie down. Just as she was about to move, a silver-gray car suddenly stopped in front of her. The car stopped very steadily and did not splash the water on the roadside onto her. Anhao heard the sound of the car and thought it was a taxi. The moment she turned around. she saw an unfamiliar car parked in front of her. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the rain and tried her best to see more clearly. When she suspected that the car was parked here to pick up a colleague, she was about to move to the side when she suddenly saw the window roll down. The driver was Zuo Hancheng! When Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng, she subconsciously looked at the car in front of her, and then at the license plate number. This was clearly not his car¡­ Could he have been nearby just now? She didn¡¯t notice any familiar cars nearby just now¡­ Just as she was feeling puzzled, Zuo Hancheng sat in the car and pressed the horn twice through the rain. His cold eyes were clearly saying,¡¯Do you want me to get out of the car to invite you?¡¯ In such a heavy rain, there was still a pile of documents in her bag that could not be soaked in water. Anhao did not refuse and quickly ran around the car, opened the door of the front passenger seat, and sat in it. Fortunately, there was a leather chair in the car. Even if it was wet by her body, it would not matter much. After she sat down, she instinctively shivered. Then, she patted the water off her bag and looked around. She was handed a pack of tissues. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who looked calm and collected. She hesitated for a moment before she took the tissues from him.. Chapter 587 - Chapter 587: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (1) Chapter 587: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (1) Translator: 549690339 After wiping the water off her bag, Anhao opened it and checked the contents. She was relieved to see that there was no water on it. The car stopped at a red light at the intersection in front of them. Zuo Hancheng did not ask where she was going. It was very quiet in the car. Only the sound of water dripping down from Anhao¡¯s hair and body could be heard. She wiped her neck, arms, and face with a tissue, but her body was already drenched. There was a white lady¡¯s shirt in her light-colored business suit. It was almost translucent and stuck to her body because it was wet, outlining her slender figure. She lowered her head to wipe the obvious water on her body while trying to hide her small coat so that the scene under the shirt would not be seen. Zuo Hancheng did not look at her at all. He only passed her a piece of clothing before the traffic light turned green. Then, he continued to drive into the traffic ahead. Anhao looked down at the man¡¯s jacket that was suddenly handed to her. It was a casual suit jacket. ¡°Put it on.¡± Hearing Zuo Hanchengs voice, Anhao placed her coat back on the back seat of the car. Then, she buttoned up her coat to cover the embarrassing translucent shirt on her chest. At the same time, she said,¡±¡±No need. I¡¯m covered in water. Your clothes are too expensive and of good quality. If 1 get wet, you won¡¯t be able to wear them even if I take them to the dry cleaning later.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. Anhao sat in her original position and stared ahead. The heavy rain outside the car made a dull sound, but it made the silence in the car even more obvious. It was obvious that she didn¡¯t want to get involved in his personal finances because of the divorce. She didn¡¯t even want to dirty his coat. It was too obvious. Zuo Hancheng did not force her. Although the buttons on her professional suit were all buttoned up and looked a little awkward, at least it could help to show off her naked body after getting out of the car. Anhao couldn¡¯t help but shiver again because the water on her body was too cold. In less than half a minute, she suddenly felt a lot warmer. She didn¡¯t notice it just now, but now she turned her head slightly and realized that he had turned on the heater in the car. ¡°Thank you.¡± In the end, Anhao still felt her conscience and thanked him again. Then, she raised her head and looked out of the car.¡±You can drop me off at the bus stop in front. The bus here can send me home directly.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Zuo Hancheng had no intention of stopping the car. Anhao didn¡¯t dare to ask him if he was near Zheng F just now. She didn¡¯t know if he saw her pulling Rong Qian outside. Even if she did see it, it didn¡¯t seem to be a big deal. There was nothing shameful between her and Rong Qian. Moreover, when she left Huangge Hotel, she had already made it very clear. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll take the bus back by myself. There aren¡¯t many people on the bus on this route. Just now, I didn¡¯t plan to take the bus here because it was quite far from here. Now that I¡¯m here, I can take the bus myself.¡±Anhao said as she placed the tissue in the made water everywhere in this car. I¡¯ll get out of the car now.¡± Anhao was about to open the car door. In any case, she could not let Zuo Hancheng know that she was staying in the private villa¡­ As usual, the car door was locked and the car did not slow down at all. Anhao raised her hand and did some useless work on the car door for a while. She remembered the car accident that she and Zuo Hancheng had experienced together three years ago that was comparable to a murder. She did not force him to open the car door.¡±Then you can drop me off at the next station ahead¡­ ¡°It¡¯s raining so heavily. If you go down and wait for the bus, you¡¯ll get drenched again?¡±Zuo Hancheng did not look at her. The car had already turned around and changed direction. The direction he had been heading in was actually in the direction of Grand Court. Anhao didn¡¯t know if it was a coincidence. After all, there were only two main directions on this road. Perhaps it was just a coincidence that he had taken this direction. However, he suddenly turned around in the middle of the road and drove in the opposite direction. Anhao sat in the car and did not say anything, lest he found out that she was secretly staying in Hua Ting Private Park. However, she was anxious to get further and further away from her place. ¡± Are you sure you can just leave me at the bus stop¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not take her words seriously at all. His attitude of doing things his own way made Anhao feel uneasy. In addition, she was secretly staying in the private villa of Hua Ting. In fact, she was more or less in the wrong and felt guilty, so her tone was not too harsh. She only emphasized her desire to get out of the car. ¡°What happened to Rong Qian?¡± Anhao was thinking about how to get out of the car so that he wouldn¡¯t find out where she lived and she could go home smoothly. Suddenly, Zuo Hanchengs voice sounded. His tone was cold and calm, but it sounded a little abrupt. At the very least, this question had indeed shocked her. She looked up at the direction he was driving in and thought of the way she and Rong Qian were pulling in front of the government gate. He must have really seen it. ¡°You should know his situation better than me. After all, the Rong family is currently expanding their business. This year, they finally expanded into China. As a giant in the domestic business, it¡¯s impossible for you not to know about the Rong family¡¯s movements.¡± Anhao then looked out of the car window.¡±¡±lf you don¡¯t suggest taking the bus now, I think it¡¯s more convenient to take a taxi near the People¡¯s Square in front. Put me by the side of the People¡¯s Square and I¡¯ll take a taxi home.¡± Anhao repeatedly requested to get out of the car. Zuo Hancheng knew where she lived, but he did not expose her. He only continued to drive in the opposite direction of Luxury Court Private Park. Anhao did not know where he was taking her, but he continued to drive forward when they reached the intersection in front. Could it be that he was going to the Gilded Scenic Garden? This didn¡¯t seem to be the direction to the Gilt Scenery Garden, but¡­ She seemed to be going to Shengling Group. Anhao felt a little guilty about the place she was staying at, so she did not want to continue nagging about getting out of the car. After all, Zuo Hancheng would not eat her up. If he was really such a beast, he wouldn¡¯t have let her go at Huangge Hotel. Thus, she felt at ease as she picked up a tissue to wipe the water droplets from her hair. At the same time, she took advantage of her boredom to pick up her phone to contact Mr. V. After all, Mobai had already given her the key. It would be impolite to go to someone else¡¯s house without informing her.. Chapter 588 - Chapter 588: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (2) Chapter 588: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was typing a text message for Mr. V on her phone. Before she could finish, Zuo Hanchengs gaze swept across her hand and he heard from Mobai that he helped you take on a private residential interior design project?¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was typing on her phone paused for a moment. She did not expect Mobai to tell Zuo Hancheng about this. However, on second thought, Mobai was Zuo Hanchengs confidant. Moreover, Mobai was also at the Royal Pavilion Hotel that night. It was not too much to tell him about her recent situation. ¡°Yes.¡± She replied simply and continued typing on her phone. The content of the message was: ¡± Hello, Mr. V. I am Gu Anhao, the interior designer of your seaside villa. Mobai has already given me the keys to your house today. If there is anything else you need, please let me know in advance. I will find time to go and take measurements in a few days.¡± After he finished typing the message, he was about to send it when he suddenly felt the car stop. She raised her head abruptly and realized that she was in an underground parking lot somewhere. She had been too focused on typing and editing her text message earlier, so she did not notice where Zuo Hancheng had driven off to. After the car stopped, Zuo Hancheng did not get out of the car. Instead, he looked at her disheveled appearance from the rain with a clear gaze. Anhao¡¯s heart trembled when she met his gaze. Just as she was about to lower her head and continue looking at her phone, she heard him say,¡±¡±Are you short of money recently?¡± He could admit that he was short of money in front of others, but not in front of Zuo Hancheng! ¡°No!¡± Anhao blurted out and looked up at him.¡±¡±I just want to make more money with my own ability. Of course, I have to make money. Besides, the interior design job that Rongqian introduced me to is not bad. The salary is also good.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and did not ask any more questions.¡±Get out of the car.¡¯ ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao paused. She actually didn¡¯t know where this place was, but looking at the various high-end cars parked around her, she felt that it was the parking lot of a high-end residence. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already gotten out of the car, she unbuckled her seatbelt and followed him. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Anhao shivered again after she got out of the car. She held her bag in one hand and rubbed her arms with the other to warm herself up. She jogged behind Zuo Hancheng and only realized that they really did seem to be in a private residential area when she followed him into the elevator in the underground parking lot. However, as the two of them stood in the elevator, Anhao¡¯s body was drenched while Zuo Hanchengs body was as clean as a speck of dust. Anhao felt that the atmosphere was too subtle and she could not stand it, so she took the initiative to the way, I haven¡¯t had the chance to tell you before. As for the fees for my three years of studying in the United States, I¡¯ll pay you back in installments starting next month.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned his head to look at her. Anhao instinctively took a small step back when she met his gaze. This step seemed to be subtle, but it revealed the guilt and embarrassment in her heart. The lipstick on her lips had already been washed clean by the rain, and the small bite marks on her lips were a little pale because of the rain. Feeling Zuo Hanchengs gaze on her lips, she subconsciously pursed her lips and looked at him. When their eyes met, An An saw the tranquility in Zuo Hanchengs eyes. She then looked at the environment in the elevator and asked,¡±¡±Where is this place?¡± Zuo Hancheng put one hand into his pocket and turned his back to look at the elevator door. He said, ¡°My house.¡± Anhao looked up at his back in surprise.¡±¡±Ah?¡± This was clearly not the Gilt View Garden¡­ Did he have another place to stay? But even if he had other places to stay in the past few years, it didn¡¯t seem to be a big deal. She heard that he had been living in the company for the past three years, but there were also a few places near Shengling Group. This should be the ¡± home ¡± that he had been living in other than the company for the past few years. At home. When this word was placed between the two of them, it was clearly a warm word, but it seemed to have changed its meaning. How could a family be without a wife and children? Was Zuo Hancheng deliberately trying to chill her? ¡°Why did you bring me here?¡± Anhao gradually calmed down and felt that Zuo Hancheng had done it on purpose. After she got into the car, he didn¡¯t ask where she lived, nor did he let her down and take the car himself. He actually brought her directly to his place. How could his wild ambition be so obvious! It was not enough to tease her in Huangge Hotel just now, and now he wanted to provoke her again? However, Zuo Hancheng ignored her question. The elevator was slowly rising, and it was not appropriate for her to call the elevator to go out at the last minute. She only stood behind him and stared at his tall and straight back. In fact, she really wanted to know what Zuo Hancheng was thinking. After returning to China, although they had interacted quite a few times, no matter what happened, it was as if they could not enter his heart. It was as if Zuo Hancheng was even more difficult to understand than three years ago. The distance between them was more than just three years. She couldn¡¯t tell what else was between them. He was an extremely black-bellied man. If he deliberately kept silent, it would be even more difficult to understand. However, such a man was so damn charming. A group of young girls talked about President Zuo of Shengling Group all day long. The rumors of the national male god and the national husband were even more widespread than three years ago. The elevator finally stopped on the twenty-fifth floor. Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng out and turned to look at the notice outside the elevator. She realized that this was the new residential area next to Shengling Group that was built three years ago. She had almost seen the construction of this residential a_rea with her own eyes. It had been completed before she left, but the greenery in the residential area had not been completely covered. So this place was a new house that Zuo Hancheng bought later? She still remembered that she had asked him before if there were any other places to stay in A City. He said that he had not had time to think about these things in the past few years, so he only had a place to rest in Liu Jing Garden. In the end, she mocked him a few times. After that, he transferred a few properties under her name, and then¡­After the divorce¡­Did he buy many residences in A City? Buying a house did not seem to be his hobby. Zuo Hancheng was the kind of person who would be satisfied with a quiet place to rest after a busy day. In fact, although he was a bit of a neat freak, he was very casual when it came to such small things. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already entered the house, Anhao stood outside the door without moving. She had not entered yet, so she could not see the situation inside his house. However, judging from the height of the corridor, she could tell that this house was similar to Luxury Court.. Chapter 589 - Chapter 589: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (3) Chapter 589: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (3) Translator: 549690339 In recent years, the new residential areas in A City that were built for people with slightly higher consumption levels were basically multi-storey buildings. They were very beautiful, but Anhao stood outside the door. On one hand, she felt a little guilty about the matter at Hua Ting Private Park, and on the other hand, she really didn¡¯t think it was necessary for her to go in. She stood outside the door for a while. When Zuo Hancheng came out, he had a towel in his hand. Seeing that Anhao was still standing there, he glanced at her with his dark eyes.¡±You can dry your clothes just by standing there in a daze? Come in.¡¯ It was a commanding tone. Anhao looked at him calmly.¡± I can go home by myself. Why did you bring me to your house?¡±¡± When he said ¡± my house ¡°, she said ¡± your house the relationship was already clear. Anhao took the opportunity to take the towel from his hand.¡±l¡¯ll take the towel. After wiping it clean, I¡¯ll take a taxi back when the rain subsides.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng stood in front of the door. After she took the towel from him, he put one hand in his trouser pocket and calmly watched her dry her hair. His voice was low and clear.¡±Go in and take a shower so you don¡¯t catch a cold. Are you afraid that I¡¯ll eat you up?¡± Anhao wiped her hair and rolled her eyes at him.¡±¡±The great Zuo Hancheng shouldn¡¯t be so inhumane.¡¯ Although she was indeed unable to resist Zuo Hancheng when he was really a hooligan in the past. Do you know? Why don¡¯t you go in?¡± Zuo Hanchengs eyebrows twitched slightly.¡± I¡¯m going to take a shower. I brought you back so that you can clean up your mess first. At the same time, we can talk about the company¡¯s reconstruction project.¡±¡± Seeing that he was about to talk about serious matters, Anhao hesitated for a moment before putting down the towel.¡± I¡¯ve only just started working at the political department, and Mobai has introduced me to another design job. 1 don¡¯t think I have time to study the renovation plan of Shengling Group in the next few months. The last time you mentioned this was in T City. At that time, I really thought you were just helping me out of my predicament.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently, turned around and walked into the room. At the same time, he said,¡±¡± Don¡¯t think about past relationships relationships. Just from the perspective of the nature of your current job, you must be clear about one thing, and I¡¯ve emphasized this last time. My time and patience are definitely not as much as you think.¡± Anhao knew that he was going to talk business with her today. He was warning her not to let her imagination run wild. She didn¡¯t want to stand outside the door and not even enter. Anhao squeezed the towel in her hand and glanced at the pouring rain outside the window. She turned around and walked straight into the door. She did not look at the decoration style of Zuo Hanchengs room, nor did she look at the other rooms and the various equipment in the room. When she saw Zuo Hancheng signal for her to take a shower, she held the towel and wanted to say that she would not take a shower and just stand here and talk. She could see the look in Zuo Hanchengs eyes. If it was really just work, and he was an unfamiliar person in charge of a company, she would not have used such a rude method to discuss business with others. Although he felt awkward, he still nodded and looked around.¡±ls there a bathroom on the second floor?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and smiled mysteriously.¡±¡±You really have a soft spot for the second floor.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I just think that the bathroom on the second floor is usually smaller. I¡¯ll just take a shower. It¡¯ll be easier to clean up after.¡±¡± ¡± There¡¯s one on the second floor. Find it yourself.¡± Seeing Zuo Hanchengs indifferent attitude, Anhao remembered what happened at Huangge Hotel and did not cross any boundaries. She put on the slippers that he had brought for her and ran to the second floor. The space on the second floor was larger than she had expected. On a closer look, Zuo Hanchengs study seemed to be on the second floor. However, the study was placed together with the family work room, which made it look spacious. However, it seemed like he had not been back for a while. Some of the documents on the table were scattered on the side. It was obvious that he had been working at home overnight since he rarely came back to stay for a She thought of his insomnia again. Anhao stopped in her tracks for a moment before coming back to her senses. She continued walking forward and found the bathroom in front of her. After entering, she locked the door inside and changed out of her wet and sticky clothes. She turned on the shower and took a good shower with warm water. After washing away the cold air from her body, she took a towel and wrapped it around her body. Then, an important question arose. She had no new clothes to change into. This was really¡­The most melodramatic experience in his life! She looked down at the wet clothes on the ground and heard that there was no movement outside. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng had not come up. Anhao quietly opened the bathroom door and looked around. Finally, she realized that the innermost room on the second floor seemed to be a cloakroom. She hurriedly walked in and opened the closet inside. What she saw was rows of suits, trousers, shirts, and ties that Zuo Hancheng usually wore at work. He really used this so-called family property as a workplace. There were no other types of clothes in the cloakroom on the second floor. Anhao casually picked at the clothes and finally took out a white shirt. She paused for a moment as she held it in her hand. She remembered that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have said that she could wear his white shirt at home often in the future. She recalled the time when she had tied him to the bed on purpose. She looked at the white shirt in front of her again and shivered from the bottom of her heart. For some reason, she had a vague feeling that Zuo Hancheng was still brooding over that incident. After all, all four neckties were destroyed in an instant. Just those four neckties were equivalent to losing nearly a million yuan in an instant¡­ She put the white shirt back into the cabinet and took out another dark blue shirt that looked a little longer. After putting it on, she went back to the bathroom and picked up the thin belt from her professional suit on the floor. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at it. The shirt was a little too big. After she put it on, it almost covered her knees. With the belt on, it looked a little like a loose dress. It was actually very good. The dark blue shirt accentuated her already fair skin. Because she had just taken a hot bath, her face was still fair with a hint of redness. Anhao casually picked up a piece of silk and temporarily braided her wet hair into a loose braid. At the same time, she heard the phone in her bag ring. She turned around and picked up her bag, answering the phone as she walked downstairs. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Sister Anhao, are you home yet? The rain was too heavy just now. I wanted to drive back to pick you up, but I found that you were already gone.¡±lt was a call from Zi Ran. ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t worry.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± On the other end of the phone, Zi Ran heard that Anhao didn¡¯t seem to hear the rain anymore. It was very quiet, so she guessed that she had already reached home. Thus, she was relieved and chatted with her about the things in the office for a while before hanging up. Anhao put the phone in her bag and walked down the stairs. She saw Zuo Hancheng placing a document on the coffee table.. Chapter 590 - Chapter 590: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (4) Chapter 590: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao glanced at the document and then looked up at Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Is it for me to see?¡± ¡® Inside is the design plan for the headquarters building of Shengling Group when it first moved back to China eight years ago. You can take some time to understand the construction style of Shengling Group in detail. When the reconstruction project of Zheng F is over, you can focus on the design plan of Shengling Group.¡±Zuo Hancheng placed the cup of warm water on the coffee table as he spoke. ¡°Drink a cup of hot water, lest you catch a cold.¡± Anhao first looked at the document bag and lost her mind for a moment. Then, her gaze fell on the glass of water. She walked over and picked up the glass of water while taking a look at the document bag. Then, she looked up at Zuo Hancheng who was standing at the side. Meeting his cold and clear gaze, Anhao said,¡±¡±When do you plan to start the reconstruction project of Shengling Group? Such a good building had only been built for eight years. Was it really going to be rebuilt?¡± ¡± All the companies under the Zuo family have the same architectural style. I removed Shengling Group from the Zuo family three years ago. Although this group still has the surname Zuo, it is no longer part of the Zuo family. It is not surprising that they want to change the architectural style. It is just that the project is too big and they did not act immediately.¡± ¡°Remove it from the Zuo family?¡± Anhao was about to drink some water when she suddenly looked up at him.¡±Why did you leave the Zuo family business? Is it because of Rongxue?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with his clear eyes, which fell on her face silently. Seeing that he didn¡¯t respond, she realized that she had been rude. Now, she was standing here and talking to him about what happened back then, talking about Rong Xue¡­What was the need? However, it was obvious that no matter how angry Zuo Hancheng was with the old man eight years ago, he did not break away from the Zuo family. But three years ago, he still completely removed Shengling Group from the Zuo family. This was a huge blow to Old Master Zuo. Even if Zuo Hancheng did not love Rong Xue, it was because of him that Rong Xue was harmed by the old master. No one would be able to tolerate such a thing, let alone a person with strong principles like Zuo Hancheng. He did not love Rong Xue, but the old man had hurt her, which made him feel a little guilty towards the Rong family. Because of the old man¡¯s interference, he had to temporarily put down his cold attitude towards Rong Xue and take care of her more or less. Because of the old master, he was kidnapped by Rong Xue for the first time in his life. All of this was thanks to Old Master Zuo. However, he was still an old man in his eighties. Zuo Hancheng had been shackled everywhere because of the Zuo family and her three years ago. After everything was settled, the only thing he could do was to break away from the Zuo family and the company that he had put all his efforts into. As rational as he was, this method was indeed the best outcome. Now, even if Old Master Zuo hated him, he couldn¡¯t touch or touch him, and he wouldn¡¯t threaten him with the inheritance of the Zuo family. At the thought of this, Anhao pretended as if she hadn¡¯t mentioned those things just now and picked up the document in her hand to take a look. She drank the warm water in her glass while looking at the documents that he had signed.¡±l¡¯ll take a good look when 1 get back. Thank you for today.¡± As she spoke, she put down the glass of water and looked up. Zuo Hancheng stood under the light and looked down at her. His eyes were calm and unmoving. However, Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. How could he still be so handsome after not seeing him for three years¡­ The moment Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, Anhao snapped back to her senses. She hugged the folder tightly and took a step back. ¡°The rain seems to be getting lighter. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± As she said that, she put the documents in her bag and was about to leave, but then she remembered that her clothes were still in the bathroom upstairs. Moreover, the clothes she was wearing now were almost vacuum. If it was not for the fact that they were loose enough, the marks on her chest could probably be seen. This feeling of emptiness deepened her awkwardness and awkwardness. She turned around and rushed upstairs. She took a bag and put the wet clothes into her bag. When she ran downstairs again, Zuo Hancheng was gone. She stopped in her tracks and looked around, thinking that he had no intention of sending her off. She stood there for half a minute before she walked to the front and left. Just as she was about to reach the door, Zuo Hanchengs voice suddenly sounded from behind her ¡°¡±You¡¯re going out to hail a taxi just like that?¡± Anhao looked down at her clothes.¡±¡±Although I know it¡¯s not good to take away your clothes like this, the situation now is a little special. You shouldn¡¯t mind if I take away one of your clothes, right?¡± Then, she turned to look at him.¡± If you really want to be calculative, I¡¯ll return the money to you when I add it to the cost of studying abroad.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze froze at her words, and his voice sounded as if it had been tempered with ice.¡±You¡¯re not wearing anything under your clothes, and it¡¯s still raining outside. Any gust of wind will be a scene for passers-by to enjoy. Are you sure you want to go out and hail a taxi? I feel that I wasn¡¯t famous enough in the past, but now I want to try to appear on social news in the way of naked running?¡± Anhao felt a knot in her heart. This man¡¯s venomous tongue was just like Zuo Hancheng back then. ¡°I¡¯ll send you off.¡± ¡°No, I really don¡¯t need you to send me!¡± Anhao turned around quickly.¡± If it¡¯s not possible, I¡¯ll find a mall nearby to buy a new set of clothes to wear. Then, I¡¯ll take a taxi back.¡± Anyway, it was only around eight o¡¯clock, and the mall was not closed yet. I think this place is not far from Shengling Group. I know a few large shopping malls nearby.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go buy another umbrella on the way, so I won¡¯t trouble you¡­¡± she said as she changed into her shoes. Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng pushing the door open and walking out. She looked down at her unfinished shoes and then looked at him.¡±Left¡­ Zuo Hancheng looked back at her from outside the door.¡±¡±What are you afraid of?¡± Anhao put on her shoes speechlessly and walked out.¡±¡±I¡¯m not afraid of anything. I just don¡¯t want a big shot like President Zuo to give me a ride. The rain is much lighter now, and I should be able to get a taxi at this time.¡± He glanced at her sideways.¡± You have two choices. I¡¯ll send you back, or you can stay here tonight.¡±¡± Anhao laughed dryly and mumbled softly when he walked into the elevator,¡±¡±How is this a choice? It¡¯s clearly forcing people to compromise.¡± At most, she could just stop him at another neighborhood near Luxury Court. He probably wouldn¡¯t insist on sending her home anyway. Anhao composed herself and followed him into the elevator. This time, she didn¡¯t stand behind him but stood in front of him. She didn¡¯t want to look at him for no reason. so she just stood in front and stared at the constantly changing numbers in the elevator. However, this feeling was even worse than standing behind him. It was as if there was a sharp gaze behind her that was about to penetrate her back and hit her heart that was on high alert¡­ Chapter 591 - Chapter 591: Rainy Night, Forced Kiss (5) Chapter 591: Rainy Night, Forced Kiss (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Is this your car?¡± Anhao asked casually as she got into the car. ¡°No.¡± Zuo Hancheng drove the car out of the underground parking my personal driver¡¯s car.¡± Anhao was confused, but she didn¡¯t continue asking. Zuo Hanchengs chauffeur was not short of money anyway, so it was normal for him to buy such a good car. ¡°My car was taken to the shop by the driver for maintenance. I was outside at that time, so he parked his car below, so I drove this one.¡±Zuo Hancheng said as he drove the car into the neon traffic ahead. The rain had indeed lessened a lot, but the heater was still on. Anhao¡¯s nose was gradually dripping with sweat. She really wanted to tell Zuo Hancheng that she was not cold anymore and that she could turn off the heater. However, if he were to reply to her with something about her not wearing anything underneath, it would be awkward. She took out a wet towel from her bag and gently wiped her nose. At the same time, she closed her legs to prevent herself from being exposed. Zuo Hancheng did not look at her at all, but when Anhao put away the wet towel, he turned off the heater in the car. It was finally not that hot anymore! Anhao let out a small sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, Zuo Hancheng did not ask her where she was going but drove so far away. She quickly said,¡±You can send me to the bank near the intersection of People Road and Jinbi Road.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her. Just as Anhao looked hesitantly in the direction the car was heading, two to three minutes later, the car stopped outside the main entrance of a large shopping mall near Shengling Group. The mall was open 24 hours a day, but it was raining today, so not many people went in and out of the mall at this time. Zuo Hancheng parked the car and got out of the car. Although Anhao did not ask, she could guess that he wanted her to buy a new set of clothes. Seeing that he had already gotten out of the car and walked towards the mall, Anhao sat in the car for a while before unbuckling her seatbelt. She got out of the car and quickly followed him.¡±l still have clothes at home. If I wash the clothes in the bag and dry them, they will dry by tomorrow morning. There¡¯s no need to buy clothes.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not stop in his tracks. He only slowed down slightly as if he was waiting for her. Anhao took the opportunity to walk side by side with him. At the same time, she said,¡±Besides, the style of clothes sold in this mall doesn¡¯t suit me. I¡¯d better go home directly.¡± ¡°Go back like this?¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and glanced at her. Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked up at him. His gaze seemed to be able to see through the shirt she was wearing that was fastened with a belt and see that there was nothing inside. Anhao felt his eyes darken and she subconsciously held her bag in front of her chest, but she followed him carefully without batting an eyelid.¡±¡±This dress is very long. If you don¡¯t say it, and I don¡¯t say it, others won¡¯t be able to tell¡­¡± ¡°l don¡¯t think I can control myself if you continue to dress like this.¡±Zuo Hancheng said in a lukewarm tone and walked in. Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned hot. She lowered her head and looked at her shirt and belt. In the eyes of others, this outfit actually had quite a personality and was quite conservative. However, Zuo Hancheng knew that she was not wearing anything underneath. Anhao had no choice but to run after him.¡¯!Then I¡¯ll go up and buy a set of underwear and a shirt¡­ As she spoke, she pressed the button for the elevator. Usually, in this kind of large mall, underwear, pajamas and other things are all in the fifth or sixth floor, when the elevator stops, she will directly enter the first person. She had planned to ask Zuo Hancheng to find a resting place on the first floor to wait for her, but before the elevator doors closed, Zuo Hancheng walked in. Recently, every time she sat in the same elevator and space with him, she had an indescribable feeling. In short, she felt as if every part of her body had become stiff, and even her tongue had stiffened. She was afraid that she had done something wrong or said something wrong, which would make the atmosphere even more subtle. ¡°Are you going to look at my underwear?¡±Anhao took a step back and mumbled awkwardly. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, but he did not explain. When they reached the fifth floor, Anhao saw that there was indeed a lingerie store outside the elevator. She quickly walked out, but Zuo Hancheng did not come out. She turned around and saw that the elevator door was about to close, but Zuo Hancheng had no intention of getting off the elevator. Before the elevator door closed, he pressed the number of another floor in the elevator. The door closed and continued to rise. Shengling Group had shares in this shopping mall. It was rare for him to come here. He must have gone to the upper floors to discuss something with the person in charge or the staff in the mall. Anhao saw that the elevator had stopped for a while on the 12th floor. She guessed that the staff here had seen the scene when Zuo Hancheng arrived. She pursed her lips and turned around to quickly walk to the front to buy underwear. She randomly picked a white underwear that was almost the same as the one she had before. After putting it on in the fitting room, she tied the shirt and belt together again. When she walked out, she was much calmer. At least there was no vacuum under her clothes. She felt more confident when she walked. She had planned to leave immediately after she bought them, but when she saw a place with discounts on household items in front of her, she walked over to take a look. After she moved into the private villa, she did not buy anything for herself. When she saw the discounted items, she remembered that she had run out to buy all kinds of indoor furnishings that she liked after the renovation on the second floor of Liu Jing Garden was completed. At that time, she was so happy that she felt like she was about to burst into bubbles when she swiped Zuo Hanchengs card. At that time, she was especially willful and liked to use his card to swipe everything she bought. Sometimes, Zuo Hanchengs personal phone would receive dozens of text messages a day. At that time, she deliberately made him restless and openly told him that she was spending his money outside! However, she later noticed that the connection between Zuo Hanchengs private number and the bank seemed to have been removed¡­ It was as if he didn¡¯t need to know that she could buy whatever she wanted. It was also obvious that he couldn¡¯t stand her deliberately swiping her card to make him restless when she bought a bag of jelly. Looking at the supplies, she recalled that after the renovation of the second floor of the Gilt View Garden, she did not stay for more than ten days. Now that she thought about it. she felt that it was a pity. That was the first interior design she had done in her life, and it was completely done according to her favorite style. Now, because she had specially learned these specialties, every design was often mixed with a lot of professionalism and commerce. She could no longer find the simple feeling she had in the past.. Chapter 592 - Chapter 592: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (6) Chapter 592: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (6) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao came back to her senses, the salesperson in the discount section was looking at her. She removed her hand from the household items and looked at them for a while before deciding not to buy them. When he returned to the elevator, he was actually planning to leave first. It was rare for Zuo Hancheng to come to this mall now, and the staff and person-in-charge would definitely pull him over to chat about business and performance. They probably wouldn¡¯t be able to leave for at least an hour. She would take a taxi home first and call him later to tell him to forget about it. She looked up at the elevator and saw that it was slowly descending from the twelfth floor. No¡­What a coincidence¡­ Anhao stood in front of the elevator until the door opened. Zuo Hancheng was indeed inside, and there was a young man beside him who was talking to him with a smile. The man glanced at Anhao and said to Zuo Hancheng,¡±¡±Then President Zuo, please do it first. I¡¯ll go to each floor to inspect first. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll ask them to summarize the things you want and send them to the company.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He only glanced at Anhao, who was standing outside the door. Because there was no longer nothing under her clothes, she was much more relaxed than before and no longer bent over carefully. When the staff member standing behind Zuo Hancheng saw this, he did not wait for his response and smiled politely. He walked out and walked past Anhao. He could tell that President Zuo had accompanied her here, so he nodded politely at her before walking away. ¡°l thought you would be in a meeting for at least an hour. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so fast.¡±Anhao said as she walked into the elevator. At the same time, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±Shengling Group is indeed an existence that cannot be underestimated in City A. Your company¡¯s shadow is almost everywhere. Even if it¡¯s not built by your company, it¡¯s still funded by your company. I don¡¯t know what Minister Qin¡¯s goal is, but it¡¯s better for you to be on guard against the movements of the political forces. They might have encountered some difficulties and want you to take the blame or¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted her calmly.¡±I know what to do with Minister Qin. I will never let people who are blinded by greed continue to do whatever they want. However, I haven¡¯t opened the gift he gave me last time. This evidence is not enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her as he spoke. There was a faint light in his eyes, but there was a profound look in them. Anhao immediately laughed dryly in an exaggerated manner.¡±This kind of joke is not funny at all.¡± Zuo Hanchengs eyes finally showed a hint of a smile. It was obvious that he was joking. However, Anhao¡¯s heart tightened when she saw the smile in his eyes. She avoided his gaze and looked at the number on the elevator. ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not very clear about Minister Qin¡¯s character¡­¡± Anhao stared at the number on the elevator as she spoke. Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt half of the lights in the elevator go out. The number that had already descended to the second floor suddenly went out at the same time, and the elevator stopped at the second floor. She was stunned. She couldn¡¯t be that unlucky, right? In the next moment, the elevator suddenly dropped a little as if it had lost its weight. At the same time, there was a sound that sounded like a machine had loosened and broken. When the elevator suddenly stopped, Anhao quickly leaned to the side. However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly reached out and pulled her over just as she was about to lean against the door. Before Anhao could react, she had already leaned into his arms. At the same time, she felt that the elevator they were in seemed to have lost its gravity and was sinking a little. In the end, when she was stuck between the first and second floor, all the lights in the elevator dimmed. For a moment, it was dark around her. Anhao¡¯s mind buzzed and she was about to push away the person beside her to press the button on the elevator, but Zuo Hancheng held her firmly and said in a low voice above her head,¡±¡±Don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°l heard that when the elevator is about to have an accident, you should press all the buttons¡­¡± Anhao felt a nerve in her brain throbbing violently due to the darkness around her, and her voice involuntarily became much softer. ¡°Fortunately, the elevator has already landed between the first and second floors. Even if it really descends rapidly in the end, there won¡¯t be too many accidents.¡±Zuo Hancheng said in a low voice. At the same time, he held her with one hand and pressed a few buttons with the other.¡±Obviously, this accident is related to the elevator¡¯s power supply. All the buttons inside have failed.¡¯ ¡± But there¡¯s still the basement level one and two below. If we really fall down, there¡¯s still about three levels¡­¡± Anhao whispered,¡±lf you fall down, you¡¯ll be crippled even if you don¡¯t die, right?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question. Instead, he continued to restrain her body so that she would not run to the side and lean against the wall of the elevator. Instead, he pressed the button for the basement floor and basement floor a few more times. There was still no response. He felt the elevator descend a little further, and it was still accompanied by the terrifying sound of something breaking. ¡°You should be glad that the third floor is much luckier than the thirtieth floor.¡±¡±Come here,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± He pulled Anhao to a corner and said,¡±¡±Keep your knees bent, maintain a half-squat, and try to maintain your balance. We¡¯re only descending bit by bit from zero gravity. At worst, we¡¯ll land directly from here to the underground parking lot on the second floor. As long as we take protective measures at the height of three floors, there won¡¯t be any major problems.¡± Anhao nodded. In the dark, she could feel that Zuo Hanchengs hand had never left hers. When he was holding her and standing in the corner, he pressed down on her shoulder and gestured for her to bend her knees. Anhao did as he said. Actually, she really wasn¡¯t afraid of death¡­ It was just that all the power in the elevator seemed to have failed in an instant. It was not scary without the lights. What was scary was that the darkness around her made the memories hidden in the bottom of her heart emerge layer by layer. It was not just the nightmares of being kidnapped and locked in a dark room when she was young, nor was it just a simple claustrophobia. She was slightly relieved to be surrounded by Zuo Hanchengs aura and temperature. However, because there was no electricity, no air conditioning, and the enclosed space in the elevator was too good, Anhao felt that she was almost out of breath after only a few minutes. Zuo Hancheng held her hand as he helped her stand up. He could feel that her hand was getting colder and colder. He looked down at her in the dark and said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, I don¡¯t remember you being so timid.¡± Anhao closed her eyes and did not say anything. She did not explain either. The scene of her hitting Qi Weiran with her car three years ago kept replaying in her mind. She kept replaying the scene of Zuo Hancheng unbuckling his seatbelt and standing in front of her when she and Zuo Hancheng were almost hit by a dangerous goods vehicle.. Chapter 593 - Chapter 593: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (7) Chapter 593: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (7) Translator: 549690339 Because of the relationship she had with Zuo Hancheng, the psychological guidance Wenner had given her, and the fact that she had left the Gu family a long time ago, Anhao had already let go of the nightmares she had when she was young. However, at this moment, her mind was filled with the things that happened more than three years ago. She could feel the temperature of her entire body drop bit by bit. Although Zuo Hancheng had protected her in a corner and asked her to maintain a posture to save herself, what she was afraid of was not the impending danger. It was the moment the darkness invaded her, the moment Zuo Hanchengs aura surrounded her, and she was almost crushed by the memories of the past. The words that she had been holding back in her heart for a long time, when she heard Zuo Hanchengs concerned question, she did not hear what he said. She slowly leaned her head into his arms, lowered her head, and said softly,¡±Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng heard a cracking sound coming from above. He placed his hands around Anhao¡¯s body and said in a low voice, ¡±¡¯What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Anhao said in a very soft voice. However, the moment she finished speaking, the elevator suddenly descended rapidly. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng heard her, but he quickly hugged her tightly as he fell. Anhao closed her eyes and leaned into his arms. When the elevator almost stopped at the second basement floor, it did not land directly. Instead, it acted as a buffer in the middle to reduce the damage that the two of them would suffer in the elevator. Finally, it landed heavily at the bottom of the second basement floor. Even though there was a cushion in the middle and the fall was not too serious, Anhao still felt her calves go numb the moment she landed. She felt a huge pain under her feet and almost fell down. Zuo Hancheng held her with one hand and pressed the buttons in the elevator that had suddenly lit up with the other. However, the buttons were still not working and the emergency button did not respond. In the elevator, only Anhao¡¯s heavy breathing could be heard. Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and switched on the flashlight. At the same time, he looked at Anhao and saw that there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and her face was pale. ¡°Did you fall?¡± Zuo Hancheng held her shoulder. Where does it hurt?¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just a little out of breath. My legs were shaken. I¡¯ll be fine in a while.¡¯ The elevator was no longer so dark because of the light from the phone. Anhao raised her hand to cover her face.¡±l¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t look at me. Think of a way to get out first¡­¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, the hand that she had raised to cover her face was pulled away by him. Zuo Hanchengs expression was serious and calm, which made her feel at ease.¡±Since there¡¯s nothing else, let¡¯s check if there¡¯s any signal on the phone first. Now¡¯s not the time to let your imagination run wild.¡± Only then did Anhao react. She nodded and quickly took out her phone from her bag, but before she took it out, she had already thought of a result. Indeed¡­There was no signal on his phone at all. The elevator had always been isolated from the signal, and even the best phone was the same. Zuo Hancheng also picked up the phone that he had placed at the side and glanced at it. Then, he put it down again and let the flashlight from the phone light up the entire elevator. ¡°Although the power in the elevator has been cut off, the security guards and staff will soon notice that something is wrong with the elevator. It won¡¯t be long before they realize that we¡¯re trapped here.¡± Anhao took a deep breath. Zuo Hancheng suddenly glanced at her, his gaze unfathomable and dazed.¡±¡±What did you just say to me?¡± Anhao suddenly remembered the darkness of the enclosed space and the emotions that had stimulated her so much that she almost cried. She also remembered the apology. She definitely did not have the mood or courage to say it now. Otherwise, she was afraid that the drama would turn into a drama. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just wanted to say that you shouldn¡¯t only care about me. If the elevator falls, you have to be careful. In the end, the elevator fell before I could finish my words.¡± Anhao avoided his gaze and rummaged through her bag.¡± Every employee in the construction department has a GPS transmitter because once the renovation starts, we have to go to the construction site often to observe. If there¡¯s an emergency and we fall into a well, we can save ourselves¡­He did not know if this thing would be useful here.¡± As she spoke, she took out the GPS transmitter. Seeing that there was still some signal on the transmitter, she pressed the emergency call button, hoping that the surveillance equipment at the government F would receive the emergency situation here and report the situation to the security department of this mall as soon as possible. She was afraid that she would suffocate in the elevator if she was trapped for too long. After she was done, she looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng looking at her. She found it difficult to breathe because the air here was too tight. Fortunately, the light on her phone made her feel less uncomfortable. However, Zuo Hancheng did not look like he was trapped in the elevator at all. Instead, he looked like he was on vacation at the beach. He did not look embarrassed at all. He was even more calm as if he would not be anxious even if he was trapped here for a day and a night. He indeed had a reason to be anxious. After all, he was busy with work and had a lot of phone calls. If he suddenly lost contact with a big BOSS like Zuo Hancheng, after a certain period of time, there would definitely be people who would suspect that Boss Zuo had encountered some danger or unexpected situation. There would definitely be countless people who would rush to find him. Unlike her, even if she really disappeared one day¡­Perhaps no one would be in a hurry to look for her. ¡°What were you thinking about just now? In my impression, you, Gu Anhao, are clearly a fearless little tyrant. How can a three-story building scare you like this?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her and asked,¡±ls it because it¡¯s too dark here?¡±¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao stood upright and took a deep breath.¡±¡±When did I say I was afraid?¡± Zuo Hanchengs smile was somewhat ambiguous.¡±¡±Your ability to lie is no different from three years ago.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She stood upright in the elevator and stared at the elevator door, hoping that a miracle would happen and that it would open immediately. She stared at him while trying to remain calm. With a straight face, she said,¡±Now that this is a rare misfortune, I¡¯m not in the mood to bicker with you.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you scold me in your heart just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed.¡± Anhao immediately turned to glare at him. Did this man read minds or something? When she glared at him, Zuo Hanchengs handsome eyebrows raised slightly, as if he had caught her little emotions and found them funny. However, when Anhao glared at him in dissatisfaction, he just looked into her eyes. Anhao retracted her gaze helplessly and looked up at the elevator door again. She clenched her hands into fists on both sides of her body and tried her best to suppress her voice to a flat tone..¡±Zuo Hancheng, do you think I¡¯m especially unlucky whenever I meet you?¡± Chapter 594 - Chapter 594: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (8) Chapter 594: Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (8) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Zuo Hancheng, do you think I¡¯m especially unlucky whenever I meet you?¡± There was no response from Anhao. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng looking at the top of the elevator. At the same time, she also looked up and vaguely heard some sounds from above. ¡°This is already the lowest level. Even if something breaks above, it doesn¡¯t seem to have much of an impact.¡±Anhao said. ¡°Not necessarily.¡± The worst result would be if Zuo Hancheng and the elevator had a rotating bearing shaft, and if the giant bearing shaft fell directly onto the elevator.¡¯ As he spoke, Zuo Hancheng walked to the side and placed his hand on the wall of the elevator, listening to the movements outside through the wall. Anhao majored in architectural design and interior design, so she was not very familiar with the structure of the elevator. However, when she saw Zuo Hancheng standing at the side with a serious expression, she followed him and took out her phone to take a look.¡±lt¡¯s already so late. Even if this mall is open 24 hours a day, I¡¯m afraid some of the maintenance staff have already left work. Will we be trapped for the entire night¡­¡± If they were really trapped for the entire night, the danger would increase by many times. ¡°l won¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hanchengs tone was firm. Perhaps he understood the working attitude of the staff in this mall. Since he said that he would not, she could only believe him. Anhao turned on the flashlight on her phone and turned off the flashlight function on Zuo Hanchengs phone at the same time.¡±¡±Your phone is running out of battery. You should at least save some battery for emergencies.¡± She then took out a small power bank from her bag.¡±¡±My power bank still has some battery. At least it can last a little longer.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand stopped on the wall for a moment before he put it down and turned to look at her.¡±¡±With me here, are you still so afraid of the dark?¡± ¡°.. In fact, he was much better than before. It was just that he felt uncomfortable in a closed space.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t want to be a burden to him at this time. She said softly and planned to turn off the light on her phone. Indeed, with Zuo Hancheng around, she would not be afraid. However, once he was immersed in the darkness, too many memories would uncontrollably invade him¡­ Sensing her movements, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and held her hand down. ¡°Keep it lit.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. It¡¯s okay¡­¡± ¡°It just so happens that I also need to observe the structure of the elevator and see if I can find a way to save myself.¡¯Zuo Hancheng did not continue to stare at her and put her in a difficult position. He turned around and went to another corner. Anhao held her phone, which still had the function of a flashlight, and looked at Zuo Hanchengs figure in the elevator. Although the elevator had a good environment, it was not very big. Other than feeling a little suffocated in the small space, the rest of the atmosphere was almost entirely Zuo Hanchengs. There was clearly no smell on his body, but she was too sensitive to his scent. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to touch a few places where the buttons were pressed. Anhao quickly raised her phone to light it up for him. She watched as Zuo Hancheng tapped on a locked box below the buttons and realized that it was the case of the elevator generator left behind by the elevator factory. However, it could not be opened. There was not even a keyhole. It could only be opened by swiping a card. Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and looked at it again, but there was still no signal. Anhao stood at the side and watched his every move. Suddenly, he turned to look at her. Anhao was stunned by his stare and asked subconsciously,¡±¡±Did you find a way?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng knocked on the box again and took two steps back in vain. At the same time, he looked up at the gap above the elevator door.¡±Although this place is well sealed, it¡¯s not to the extent that you can¡¯t breathe. How do you feel now?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched slightly.¡± Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Zuo Hancheng looked up again and said, ¡°¡±Someone will come soon. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m here.¡± Anhao smiled and did not say anything. She did not know how long she would have to wait. However, if she continued to stand there or face Zuo Hancheng, it seemed that time would pass even longer and more awkwardly. She simply took out her design drawings from her bag and sat in the corner of the elevator. She used the light from her phone to draw on the drawings casually with a pencil. The way Anhao worked was completely different from the rebellious girl in A High School. Zuo Hancheng saw her expression and eyes as she worked hard on the design drawings. He saw her focused and professional movements as she wrote and drew on the design drawings. ¡°I¡¯m very curious.¡± After Anhao drew for a while, she suddenly took the initiative to break the silence in the elevator. At the same time, she raised her eyes and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was looking at her again.¡±What exactly do you want us to rebuild the gymnasium and cultural center into before we are satisfied? The design drafts we submitted previously are already very good to me. If we continue to modify them, I¡¯m afraid we will lose the original feeling. ¡± At this point, Anhao raised the map in her you really think that this method of modifying my design is inappropriate, you can request to change the initial design and use someone else¡¯s design to modify it. After so many times, you haven¡¯t been satisfied. I think it¡¯s very likely that it has a lot to do with the initial design that I made.¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with the initial design.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the blueprint in her hand. ¡°What does that have to do with? Now that we¡¯ve gathered the designs of the designers in our office, I think the blueprint I sent to Huangge Hotel is already perfect. However, you threw it aside after taking a look at it. You¡¯re not taking our work and hard work seriously. If this project had been approved earlier, all of us would have been officially recognized by the industry. That way, it would have been easier for us to walk in the domestic industry in the future. But now, it¡¯s President Zuo who has set up obstacles for us from the beginning. ¡± Anhao¡¯s words were filled with dissatisfaction and some hidden resentment, but Zuo Hancheng only curled his lips slightly.¡±¡± Whether the design will be approved or not depends on whether it can combine the factors that both the business and political circles want. Shengling Group has invested a lot in this reconstruction project, and since the investment, of course, we have to see a return. Do you think you can easily complete such a huge initial work in two weeks?¡± Anhao sat in the elevator and looked up at him. Zuo Hancheng stood there the entire time, looking down at the faint glimmer of dissatisfaction in her the person in front of you was not Zuo Hancheng, but another businessman who invested 800 million yuan in the government, the draft would not have been approved so easily. This is business, not personal.¡± At this point, Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment and suddenly said,¡±¡±Of course, if you want to talk about personal affairs with me, shouldn¡¯t you show some behavior?¡± Chapter 595 - Chapter 595: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (9) Chapter 595: A Forced Kiss on a Rainy Night (9) Translator: 549690339 800 million! Did he want to use money to kill someone? Anhao¡¯s lips twitched, and she lowered her head to continue studying the design in her hands.¡±¡±From the beginning to the end, I don¡¯t seem to have ever talked to you about love.¡± ¡°If you want to talk, I don¡¯t mind favoritism.¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao suddenly looked up.¡± Zuo Hanchengs smile and calm words made Anhao doubt his motives.¡±ln the past, I¡¯ve only teased my wife. I¡¯ve never teased my ex-wife. It¡¯s indeed interesting. ¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes.¡±You don¡¯t have to be biased. I went to the United States to study design for more than three years and even interned for two years at the Bode company. I¡¯m not so bad that I can¡¯t even finish the design of a stadium and cultural center. Since you insist on not being satisfied with the design, sooner or later, I¡¯ll make you satisfied to the point where you can¡¯t even say a word of denial!¡± As she spoke, she placed the design drafts on her lap and lowered her head to continue studying them. Zuo Hancheng kept her in suspense. He only said that he was not satisfied, but he did not mention where he was dissatisfied or where there was a loophole, He wanted her to figure it out herself. However, Anhao knew that he was taking a detour and that he was doing it on purpose, but she was stubborn and unwilling to ask him. Her confidence made Zuo Hancheng smile. It was as if a flower had bloomed in the silent elevator. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly, but he did not disturb her serious expression. Time passed little by little. The two of them had been locked in here for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement outside. Anhao had been studying the design in her hands and had forgotten about the time, so she no longer felt so tormented. It was only when she heard a few unfamiliar shouts from above and asked if there was anyone in the elevator that Anhao suddenly raised her head. Her eyes, which had been a little blurry because she had been staring at the design under this unhealthy light, instantly became much clearer. ¡°There¡¯s someone!¡± She was the first to shout. Before Zuo Hancheng could say anything, he glanced at Anhao, who seemed to have recovered her energy in an instant. Fifteen minutes later. After the elevator was repaired, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked out of the elevator safely. Anhao followed behind Zuo Hancheng. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she fell to the side uncontrollably. She wanted to use the wall to support herself, but Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. The moment he looked back, he saw Anhao leaning against the wall with her legs weak. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already turned around and walked over, Anhao quickly raised her hand and fine. When the elevator fell earlier, it was more or less because my half-squatting posture was not correct, so the shock on my legs might have been a little bigger. Now, I just feel that my legs are a little weak.¡¯ ¡°Your legs have been uncomfortable just now? Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to resist. He immediately came over to help her up. At the same time, he hugged her waist and looked down at her legs.¡±Can we leave? Go to the hospital.¡± ¡°No need!¡± Anhao quickly raised her hand to push him away but it was really that serious, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to stand up just now. It might be because my legs suffered some shock. Then, I sat in the corner with my legs bent for so long just now. Now that I suddenly came out and walked a few steps, my legs weren¡¯t used to it for a while. Anyway, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any big problem.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t even stand steadily, and you still say there¡¯s no problem?¡±Zuo Hancheng immediately carried Anhao up by her waist. Anhao did not expect his sudden action and almost let out a low cry. The moment she was picked up, she immediately looked at Zuo Hanchengs cold side profile in surprise. Her hands almost instinctively hugged his neck, but she froze for a moment and did not move. Because of the curious and ambiguous gazes of the elevator maintenance workers around her, she whispered unnaturally,¡±I¡¯m really fine. There¡¯s no need to go to the hospital. Put me down. My legs are numb.¡± At this moment, the staff and the person-in-charge of the mall rushed over and rushed to Zuo Hancheng to apologize and promise. Anhao was not in the mood to listen to what they were saying. Zuo Hancheng only gave a few simple instructions before carrying Anhao out. The managers of the shopping malls quickly followed him out. As it was still raining outside, they ran back and forth while holding umbrellas for Zuo Hancheng, afraid that he would have a problem with their mall. After all, they had locked the investor¡¯s BOSS in the elevator for so long and almost got into danger. If the boss of the mall found out tomorrow, they would definitely be skinned alive. ¡°President Zuo, if it¡¯s not convenient, we¡¯ll drive. You can carry this lady and sit in the back We¡¯ll send you to the hospital.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really fine.¡± Anhao turned around and said to those people. Then, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was completely ignoring them. ¡°You¡¯ve scared them. This kind of accident is caused by the maintenance workers and the elevator manufacturer. It has nothing to do with them. They must be afraid that this matter will spread to the higher-ups tomorrow. If they lose their jobs like this, wouldn¡¯t it be a little too cruel? Do you want to make an exception and take into account the matters of the mall first? Put me down. I really didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°What is the definition of a white lotus?¡± Not only did Zuo Hancheng ignore them, he suddenly asked Anhao. Anhao was baffled by the question. What was he asking her about the nonsense she had said to him three years ago? When she finally reacted, she suddenly understood the sarcasm in Zuo Hanchengs words. She was just speaking up for those innocent staff members. How did she become a white lotus! ¡°Don¡¯t worry about others. Take care of yourself.¡±Zuo Hancheng said coldly and carried her to the car. Your sister! It was rare for her to be soft-hearted, but she had actually become a white lotus! As expected, it was better to be ruthless and vicious in order to survive in the world. The moment the car door opened, Zuo Hancheng carried her into the car. Anhao sat in the car and stretched her legs, smiling.¡±l¡¯m much better.¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to close the car door when Anhao raised her hand to push the door open and got out of the car. She spun around in front of him twice, raised her leg, and said with a smile, ¡±It¡¯s really done. Look!¡± Anhao was still wearing his shirt. Even though she had already bought her underwear and changed into it, she was still dancing and swaying in front of him in Zuo Hanchengs shirt. When she stopped and looked at him, she saw that his dark eyes were watching her wriggling movements. She¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy, she¡¯s busy,¡± Anhao raised her leg again..¡¯! Do you want me to give you a few taekwondo moves to test the strength of my legs?¡±¡± Chapter 596 - Chapter 596: Rainy Night, Forced Kiss (10) Chapter 596: Rainy Night, Forced Kiss (10) Translator: 549690339 Anhao raised her leg again.¡± Do you want me to give you a few taekwondo moves to test the strength of my legs?¡±¡± In the end, Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and leaned close to her ear in an extremely flirtatious manner. He said in a low voice that only she could hear,¡±¡¯I don¡¯t mind testing your leg strength in another way.¡± Anhao¡¯s mind was filled with the scene of her rolling around in bed with him, and every time she reached the point of ecstasy, she would instinctively wrap her legs around his waist, and then she could not help but gasp for breath¡­ She immediately turned around and scolded,¡±President Zuo, do you like to talk about dirty jokes?¡±¡± Zuo Hanchengs lips curled up slightly, his smile broad and is human nature, why should we endure?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. It means that you have to have it when you want it. You¡¯ve obviously gone to a hotel with many women in the past three years¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she did not notice that Zuo Hanchengs ambiguous posture when he approached her was actually a sign that he was preparing to kiss her. By the time she reacted, it was already too late. She stood stiffly by the car door and stared in shock at the man who had suddenly kissed her on the lips. She quickly raised her hand but before she could push him on the chest, her hands were pulled down. Zuo Hanchengs weight directly invaded her and Anhao leaned back against the car. At the same time, his hands were firmly pressed on both sides of her body. This time, the kiss was not as fierce as the last time, but it was still hot and filled with unbridled desire. However, this impudence made Anhao feel uncomfortable! She wanted to turn her head away from him, but he turned his head to let her continue to kiss him. She wanted to raise her leg, but his leg pushed her leg against the car door as if he had predicted her movements. Anhao made a sound of ¡± Wu Wu ¡± and frowned. She glared at him fiercely, her eyes full of resistance and dissatisfaction. Zuo Hancheng kissed her even deeper and harder. It wasn¡¯t until his hand touched her waist and pulled her into his embrace that Anhao finally had the time to lift one hand but couldn¡¯t push him away. The few managers who had chased out of the mall looked in that direction in shock. They had been too rushed to see who the woman Zuo Hancheng had carried out was, but they had never seen Zuo Hancheng, who had always looked pure and uninterested, kiss a woman so brazenly on the street. It was said that Zuo Hancheng would never touch any woman during social gatherings, no matter how much he drank. Over the years, many operators had tried to cater to his preferences and sent all kinds of women to him. There was even a woman who was bold enough to run into a hotel and knock on Zuo Hanchengs door with the help of the operator. However, no woman had ever successfully climbed into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bed. Zuo Hancheng, who had such a pure heart and few desires¡­ Now it seemed like¡­ He was actually forcefully kissing a girl! Looking at the girl twisting her legs back and forth in an attempt to struggle, repeatedly raising her hand to hit his shoulder, President Zuo still did what he wanted. It seemed that the little girl was about to be swallowed alive by the big BOSS! When Zuo Hancheng finally let go of her, Anhao¡¯s lips were still in pain from the bite he had bitten earlier. She glared at him in pain and anger.¡±You shameless bastard¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that I can have a room with any woman I want?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her red and swollen lips with a half-smile. Her usually pink lips looked red and swollen at this moment, making one¡¯s imagination run wild. He looked at her with a dark gaze as she pursed her lips in anger and glared at him. He chuckled.¡±lf I want to kiss you now, I¡¯ll just kiss you directly.¡± ¡°You, Zuo Hancheng, are now even more thick-skinned than before! The degree of black-bellied and shameless was truly unprecedented!¡± Annoyed, she wanted to kick him, but Zuo Hancheng held her waist with one hand and restrained her unruly legs with his legs.¡±¡±lf you really want me to test your leg strength, why don¡¯t you try it in the car?¡± ¡°Try your head!¡± Anhao was so angry that she completely forgot about the scene in the elevator. She turned around and wanted to leave, refusing to get into his car. Zuo Hancheng glanced sideways at her.¡± There might be heavy rain later. Are you sure you want to go back by yourself?¡±¡± ¡°Even if I¡¯m drenched, I don¡¯t want to sit in your car! ¡°Anhao had already walked a few meters away angrily. Zuo Hancheng did not stop her. He only looked at Anhao¡¯s back and then at the time. He turned back to look at the few managers who were standing in front of the mall in a daze. When the few people in charge met Zuo Hanchengs gaze, they immediately walked over quickly like cicadas in winter.¡±President Zuo, today¡¯s incident is really a loophole in our security department and elevator maintenance. President Zuo, please give us a chance since this is the first time something like this has happened in our mall¡­¡± ¡°Fortunately, the elevator fell from a low place today. We also know that if it fell from a high place, the consequences would be unimaginable. A few heads wouldn¡¯t be enough to compensate. It¡¯s really our negligence and fault. President Zuo, you¡¯re a magnanimous person¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s legs were actually not very comfortable from the shock. After all, when a person jumped down from a height of about one meter, her legs would be painful and numb for a long time if she was not careful. Moreover, she had fallen straight from the first floor to the second floor. Even if Zuo Hancheng had protected her at that time, even if she had squatted down, the moment she landed, the pain and numbness in her legs were still fresh in her mind. Perhaps she and Zuo Hancheng were born to be at odds with each other. Every time something embarrassing or dangerous happened, it seemed that he was not far away from her. It must be because of the bad luck that so many things happened back then¡­ Furthermore, because her birth characters were incompatible, every time she met him after returning to the country, it was definitely the most unlucky time for her! Anhao shook her legs from time to time as she walked to the bus stop, afraid that there would be any side effects. However, judging from Zuo Hanchengs condition, he was obviously not injured and looked no different from usual. It seemed that she had been too lacking in exercise these past few years, which was why she was injured so easily. After shaking her legs again, she realized that the bus stop was still some distance away. She was about to cross the road when she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng driving over. He sped up not far behind her and stopped in front of her. Anhao stared at the car and didn¡¯t say anything. Suddenly, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. The rain that had been much lighter began to gradually become heavier. It looked like it was going to rain heavily again. What the f * ck! The shirt she was wearing and the underwear she had bought were new¡­ Chapter 597 - Chapter 597: Mr. V, Passcode (1) Chapter 597: Mr. V, Passcode (1) Translator: 549690339 The car window rolled down and Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. He signaled her to get into the car with his eyes and gave her a look that told her to be sensible and not to cause trouble anytime and anywhere. Anhao glanced at the place where lightning was rumbling in the sky. She didn¡¯t want to die, so she walked around the car and opened the door to get in. When she closed the door, she was careful and lock the internal lock on the door again. I¡¯ll get out of the car when we arrive.¡± ¡°Up to you,¡± Zuo Hancheng said in a clear voice.¡± Anhao sat down obediently.¡± Just send me to the bank I mentioned just now.¡±¡± ¡°Tonight, I acted as your driver and protected your life. You didn¡¯t even give me a chance to enter your house to drink a glass of water?¡±Zuo Hancheng said as he drove. When Anhao heard him say that he wanted to go to her house, she immediately sat up in silence. ¡°¡±There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s already so late. We¡¯re both unmarried and are still ex-wives. It¡¯s really not suitable.¡± Zuo Hanchengs lips curled into a smile. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, but he did not look at her, nor did he expose her guilty little lies. As the car sped along the road, Anhao thought of the incident in the elevator and broke the silence again.¡±¡±For such an accident to happen in the elevator, we can only say that the two of us are lucky. If we really fell from more than ten floors, there would be no other outcome other than death, right?¡± Without waiting for Zuo Hanchengs reply, she continued,¡±¡±Then how many floors do you think should be left for the underground department of the stadium? No matter how high-end or perfect the auxiliary materials are, the underground Dart of the elevator has been stored for too long. In the end. it¡¯s still not as safe as being on the ground. I think it¡¯s best if the underground part of the gymnasium doesn¡¯t use more than three floors. The underground environment will definitely be more stuffy and humid than the ground. It will affect any electrical equipment.¡± ¡°How many floors did you arrange in your design?¡± ¡°Because the stadium can¡¯t be built too high, but we want to have too many uses, so our design department arranged for five floors at first. Each floor of the underground part is divided into different functions. Now that I think about it, it¡¯s actually not necessary. After all, it¡¯s next to the cultural center. There are many facilities in the cultural center, so there¡¯s no need to build it in the stadium. What the government wants is all kinds of luxury and perfection. Let¡¯s treat the gymnasium and the cultural center as two independent entities. But now that I think about it, I really don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to arrange too many floors underground. After all, the risk factor is relatively higher.¡± As she spoke, she took out the design.¡±l thought about this in the elevator just now. Since you¡¯re beside me now, I can ask for your opinion. Otherwise, if I modify the map according to my own wishes, I¡¯ll have to do this repetitive work if you¡¯re not satisfied.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything at first. After the car stopped at the intersection in front of them due to the red light, he handed his hand over. Anhao subconsciously handed the design in her hand to him and saw Zuo Hancheng holding the design in front of him to take a look. After taking a look at it, he handed the map back to her and continued to drive when the traffic light in front changed. At the same time, he said,¡±The gymnasium will have three floors underground, not five. The height of the cultural center can be increased, but it¡¯s best not to exceed six floors. This is the rule of public buildings in the province.¡± Anhao immediately felt relieved. She made a mark on the blueprint and prepared to redo it tomorrow at work. Just as they were about to reach the bank she mentioned, Anhao¡¯s phone rang. She took it out and saw that it seemed to be a phone call from an office in the government office. As the first few digits of the number were familiar, she answered it in a very polite voice,¡±¡±Hello?¡± ¡°Miss Gu, we received a distress signal from you using a GPS transmitter. After investigation, we found out that you were in XX Mall. Later, when we went to detect your signal, it was very weak. We suspect that you are trapped in the elevator. Are there any other dangers that require help?¡± It turned out to be a call from the technology department of the government. Anhao was glad that she had just used the GPS transmitter to ask for help. Otherwise, she would probably still be trapped inside. After all, it was already so late and it was raining so heavily outside. Very few people would go to the mall now. Everyone in the mall would be very lazy that night and would definitely not notice that the elevator had an accident. ¡°It¡¯s fine now. The elevator did malfunction just now and I was trapped inside for too long. It was not easy for me to get a signal, so I hurriedly called for help. Thank you for your hard work! ¡± After saying a few more polite words, Anhao hung up the phone and suddenly felt much more relaxed. ¡°Looks like I should thank you for your resourcefulness and bravery this time, which allowed us to be rescued in advance.¡¯ Zuo Hanchengs tone sounded like he was teasing her. She had been leaning against him for a while because of the darkness, so she did not look smart or brave at all. This sarcasm could be dug out without leaving a trace. Anhao glanced at him.¡± Then, in order to thank me for saving your life, shouldn¡¯t you quickly approve our design drafts?¡± You have to know that designers like us rely on this thing to make a living. The earlier you pass, the earlier the project will be completed. After the project is completed, we can get a lot of money.¡± Zuo Hancheng parked the car in front of the bank she mentioned. Not far away was the private estate of the Grand Court. He glanced in that direction and few years ago, I transferred a property in Luxury Court to your name. The house is just ahead. Have you seen it?¡± Anhao suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the private garden. Her tongue almost choked.¡±No!¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a deep smile.¡¯¡±I just happened to pass by. Aren¡¯t you going to take a look? I didn¡¯t take back that house. If you want to live there, you can do so anytime.¡± There was really a kind of¡­lt felt like he was choking on his throat! As expected, people could not do anything wrong. Anhao unbuckled her seatbelt without saying a not going. It¡¯s already very late. Since the rain has lightened up, I can go home immediately. I don¡¯t want to stay out for too long and get drenched again when the rain gets heavier.¡¯ She quickly opened the car door and walked towards the bank without looking back. She only had a few tens of dollars left in her pocket. She withdrew five hundred dollars and waited for Zuo Hancheng to drive away before going back. A few minutes later¡­ Anhao looked out of the window of the bank and realized that Zuo Hanchengs car had not left yet. It was parked quietly at the place where she had just gotten off.. Chapter 598 - Chapter 598: Mr. V, Passcode (2) Chapter 598: Mr. V, Passcode (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng had not left yet? Anhao leaned against the glass window and stared in that direction for a long time. She slammed her hand on the window angrily and looked down at the newly withdrawn 500 yuan in her bag. She did not want Zuo Hancheng to notice her abnormality, so she turned around and returned to the ATM. She took out 100 yuan from her bag, deposited 100 yuan, withdrew 100 yuan, deposited 100 yuan, and withdrew 100 yuan. After repeating this for ten minutes, she took out the money and turned around to look outside. Seeing that the car had already driven away, she let out a sigh of relief, put away her wallet, and walked out of the bank¡¯s self-service area. The rain was not heavy at the moment, but it was still raining. This place was only three to four hundred meters away from Hua Ting Private Park. He didn¡¯t know if the weather would continue to get worse. If he stayed here to take shelter from the rain, he might not even have to go home tonight. In the end, Anhao looked around and made sure that Zuo Hanchengs car had really left. Then, she ran straight into the rain and quickly ran back to Luxury Court. Not far away, the window of a car parked by the roadside, hidden under the headlights, slowly rolled up. After Anhao¡¯s figure safely returned to Hua Ting Private Park, the car slowly drove into the traffic. She ran all the way back home in the rain. After entering the house, Anhao quickly put down her bag. Her hair was inevitably wet again, and her clothes were also slightly wet on her shoulders and back. She patted the water off her body as she looked inside. Huang Amao was sitting on the sofa watching TV with a glass of milk in her hand. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched when she saw Huang Amao enjoying himself.¡±¡±Can¡¯t you pick me up from work in such a heavy rain?¡± Huang Amao was drinking milk as he glanced at her going to pick it up.¡± ¡°What the hell are you doing! Why don¡¯t I see your car?¡± Huang Amao smiled maliciously and looked at the man¡¯s shirt she was wearing. Then, he looked at Anhao¡¯s swollen lips.¡±When 1 drove to your place, I saw you get into the car that Zuo Hancheng drove.¡± Anhao¡¯s breathing stopped as she stared at Huang Amao!s subtle eyes, as if she had discovered something unusual. Her eyelids twitched, and she walked in with a resigned expression. At the same time, she went into the bathroom and took off the shirt she was wearing. Fortunately, the rain was not too heavy just now, and only the shirt was wet. The underwear inside was still fine. However, this shirt was extremely expensive. She knew that Zuo Hanchengs clothes were all hand-made and of the highest quality. A tie was already worth more than the money in her card, let alone a shirt that looked like it was of high quality. Although they still had an old relationship and he wouldn¡¯t really care about this shirt, she had just asked for death at his house and said that she would return the money for this shirt and the three years of study abroad fees to him. Just thinking about it made his heart ache¡­ Money, money, money! She was so short of money now! She took a shower and walked out of the bathroom. She wrapped herself in a towel and sat on the sofa with a look of despair. She looked up at the lamp and sighed. Huang Amao, who was sitting beside her, moved his butt towards her and leaned against her.¡±¡±Where did you and Zuo Hancheng go? When you got into his car, you had just gotten off work. Do you know what time it is now?¡± ¡°No matter what he did, it¡¯s not what you think.¡±Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered to explain further and continued to sit there with a look of despair.¡±¡±Sigh, a single penny stumps a hero. I suddenly envy you. Even if your parents give you pressure, at least you don¡¯t lack money.¡± Huang Amao raised his eyebrows. What was it used for? Tell me.¡± Anhao turned to look at her.¡± You can support me for a month, but can you support me for the rest of my life?¡±¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Of course, I¡¯m spending my parents ¡®money now. If I earn my own money and the money I earn can support you, I don¡¯t mind supporting you for the rest of your life!¡± Anhao immediately laughed.¡± Do your job as an operator first before you think about your grand dream of raising me for the rest of my life.¡±¡± Anhao got up and went back to her bedroom. She turned on her computer and quickly logged into her email. She still had to hold on to her 50,000 yuan design fee. He did not see Mr. V¡¯s reply. There was no reply from him on her phone. This Mr. V was so mysterious and cold that she was at a loss¡­ Up until now, the only words he had exchanged with her were ¡°not bad¡±. Thinking about how the text message she sent to him previously was like a stone sinking into the ocean, Anhao laid on the bed and looked at the computer screen. She rested her chin on her hands and felt that the next time she took the initiative to talk to Mr. V, she would at least wait until she went to the seaside villa to measure her measurements. Otherwise, if she kept taking the initiative to talk to Mr. V, he would eventually dislike her for being too talkative and no longer need her to design. Then, this 50,000 yuan would be gone! Anhao was about to close the email when a new email suddenly came in. Her eyes lit up and she immediately opened it. It was Mr. V who had replied! The content of this reply seemed to be directed at the content that she had sent her in the text message previously. ¡® I¡¯ve been so busy that I only saw your message now. Mobai has already given you a rough description of the villa. If you have any questions, you can go to the villa and observe it on the spot. If you have any ideas about the villa in the seaside resort, you can tell me. If the proposal is good, I will accept it.¡¯ So many words! For Mr. V, who was a man of few words, these few words were definitely a lot of words in Anhao!s eyes! After carefully reading the message word by word, she began to type a reply: ¡®Mr. V, I want to understand your personal situation first, and then start planning a rough plan for your villa. I hope it won¡¯t violate your privacy. Can you tell me if you¡¯re married? Was this house for himself or was it temporarily empty? Or is it going to be used as a wedding room? After sending it over, there was no reply for a long time. Anhao waited for a while and felt that she had placed too high of an expectation on Mr. V¡¯s speed. He was probably really too busy¡­ She sighed, but a reply popped up on the screen. ¡® I once accompanied my wife to a certain beach in America. She said that she liked the sea very much. After the seaside resort project in A City was launched, he bought the villa that was close to the sea. However, my wife hasn¡¯t returned yet. I hope she will like it there when she returns.¡¯ Anhao wanted to ask him where his wife went out of curiosity. However, she quickly deleted it after typing twice on the keyboard. It wasn¡¯t considered private to ask him if he was married, but the next sentence seemed to be asking too much. She endured it for a while and replied with a smiling emoji in her email: ¡®Mr. V and your wife must be very much in love! I hope she will return soon and not let down your kindness and love¡­¡¯ As she typed, she felt her nose itch and her ears heat up.. Chapter 599 - Chapter 599: Mr. V, Passcode (3) Chapter 599: Mr. V, Passcode (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao scratched her nose and ears. She still wanted to know more about Mr. V, so she typed on the keyboard,¡±¡±ls Mr. V usually very busy? I wonder if you have time to go with me when I go to your seaside villa to take my measurements? This way, we can discuss the design style together. After all, you are the owner of the house.¡± There was no reply from the other end for a long time. Anhao decided not to disturb him anymore, so she typed another line: ¡°You go ahead and do your work. I¡¯ll contact you again before I go to measure the ruler.¡± After saying that, she lay on the bed. She felt that she was really too tired today and was gradually getting sleepy. However, Mr. V¡¯s reply popped up in her mailbox. She was curious about Mr. Vi s reply. She opened the email and saw Mr. V say,¡±Mobai said you¡¯re very smart. Are you interested in helping me solve a problem?¡± Problem solving? Anhao was puzzled for a moment before she looked at the time. Could this Mr. V be a teacher? Preparing for lessons so late at night? If he couldn¡¯t, what questions could he solve? ¡°What question?¡± she replied. Because of his curiosity, he even forgot about the polite and humble words. Mr. V quickly replied: ¡°2315,19,149.I¡¯ve never been able to solve this number code question. Miss Gu is an architectural designer and often comes into contact with numbers and size. Perhaps she¡¯s more sensitive to numbers than 1 am?¡± Anhao stared at the string of numbers on the screen. Her science grades were not good when she was in school, so this string of numbers had become a mess in her mind. However, this Mr. V was introduced to her by Mobai, and he said that she was very smart. Mobai must have helped her brag in front of Mr. V in order to help her get this high-paying temporary design job. If she were to be too honest and say that she didn¡¯t know how to do it, Mr. V would probably be disaDD0inted and might even consider transferring this design opportunity worth 50,000 yuan to someone else. She quickly opened the calculator on her phone and added up the numbers, but the result made her even more confused. She wasn¡¯t a science student, so she didn¡¯t understand logical things. However, these numbers were illogical to someone like her. So what kind of digital password was this? She rested her chin on her hand and stared at the computer for a long time before replying,¡±ls this password important to Mr. V?¡± This time, there was no reply from the other side for more than ten minutes. Anhao stared at the number on the screen and couldn¡¯t figure it out. She waited as she looked. In the end, she realized that Mr. V didn¡¯t reply anymore. Perhaps he was already asleep, so she added,¡±Give me a few days. I¡¯ll study this string of passwords carefully. I hope it can help you.¡± After saying that, she recorded the string of numbers on her phone and turned to leave the bedroom. Seeing that Huang Amao was sitting on a mask again, she went over and handed her phone.¡±Don¡¯t you people who work in the police station encounter all kinds of difficult cases? You can even crack some difficult and unsolved case codes. Can you analyze this digital code?¡± Huang Amao looked at her strangely, took the phone and looked at it carefully.¡±¡±2315,19,149?What is this?¡± ¡°If I knew what this is, would I need to come out and ask you?¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at her phone as well.¡±ls there any way to solve the code? Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to do anything.¡± ¡°Why do you need to solve the digital password? Do you want to be a detective? Or do you want to play deduction?¡± Huang Amao returned the phone to her.¡± I can¡¯t tell. I¡¯m just an operator, so how would I know about this? If you insist on telling me what the password is, you can ask your friend. He¡¯s the blue-eyed foreigner I saw before. Didn¡¯t you say that he¡¯s an FBI detective? He should be very good at reasoning.¡± Anhao took back her phone and ignored Huang Amao¡¯s suggestion. She knew that Huang Amao was talking about Wenner, but she did not want to go to the people around Zuo Hancheng because of her personal problems. But this string of numbers¡­ She returned to the bedroom with her phone and glanced at the computer on the bed. There was no reply to her email for a long time. It seemed that Mr. V had gone to work or rest after throwing the password to her. He felt that Mr. V was a very distant and cold person. Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked down at the string of numbers. Her mind was filled with question marks. 2315.. Was he referring to what would happen in the year 2315? Could it be some mysterious number passed down by XX¡¯s ancestors, indicating that there would be another apocalypse like 2012 in 300 years? Or was it referring to something else? But what did 19 and 149 mean? ¡°Oh, yes, how are you?¡± Huang Amao suddenly ran to her bedroom door and said,¡±I know that 419 means one-night stand, but isn¡¯t 149 similar? Who sent you the password? Do you have improper thoughts about you?¡± ¡°Get lost! Could 419 and 149 be the same?¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at her.¡± Go watch your TV. I¡¯ll study it myself.¡±¡± Huang Amao actually didn¡¯t help her figure out the meaning behind the string of numbers, but he still couldn¡¯t figure it out after thinking for a long time. Seeing Anhao sitting on the bed with her phone in her arms and her eyes focused, Huang Amao pursed his lips.¡±¡±For something like a digital password, you first have to figure out what the numbers are based on. It¡¯s useless to just look at this row of numbers.¡¯ Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. Of course, she knew. So, the biggest problem now was how the numbers were arranged. She glanced at the quiet computer screen again. After staring at the string of numbers for more than an hour, Anhao fell asleep hugging her phone. When she woke up the next morning, a thought about the string of numbers suddenly flashed through her mind. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she heard a conversation outside. The flash of inspiration in her mind instantly disappeared. Anhao frowned and shook her head. She couldn¡¯t get back the inspiration she had yet to grasp, and she couldn¡¯t analyze the string of numbers from last night for the time being. She could only hurriedly put her phone aside and charge it for the time being. She turned around and got out of bed and quickly walked out of the bedroom. In the end, she came out in her pajamas and saw Huang Amao and Rong Qian sitting in the living room, staring at each other. ¡°What time is it? Why are you here again?¡±Anhao looked at Rong Qian strangely and then at Huang Amao.¡±¡±Who told you to let him in?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched and he glared at sister! Someone knocked on the door so early in the morning. You closed the bedroom door and slept like a dead pig without any reaction. I got up to see who dared to knock on the door so early.. Who knew it was Rong Qian! Wasn¡¯t he forcefully brought back to America by his father three years ago? Why would he appear here? What¡¯s going on?! ¡° Chapter 600 - Chapter 600: Mr. V, Passcode (4) Chapter 600: Mr. V, Passcode (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°How would I know? Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Anhao had just woken up and was still a little groggy. She rolled her eyes at them in a bad mood and turned around to go to the bathroom to wash up. ¡°The two of you can chat slowly. By the way, Rong Qian, Huang Mao doesn¡¯t have a boyfriend yet. If you¡¯re really lonely and cold, you can consider taking her in.¡±Anhao went into the bathroom after she finished speaking. ¡°I don¡¯t like men!¡± Rong Qian¡¯s eyelids twitched.¡± Huang Amao was about to protest, but when he heard Rong Qian¡¯s words, he suddenly turned and glared at him.¡±¡±Say that again?¡± Rong Qian sneered and looked at Huang not interested in men, but Huang Mao, you¡¯ve improved a lot in the past few years. At least you¡¯re no longer that charred yellow hair.¡± ¡°F * ck, Rong Qian, do you have a conscience? If I didn¡¯t let you in just now, would you have been able to enter? Do you think it¡¯s so easy to enter Anhao¡¯s house? Get out!¡± The war was raging outside. Anhao still remembered that Huang Amao had been infatuated with Rong Qian for so long. It was only after she realized that Rong Qian was not simple that she gradually restrained her infatuation. However, after hearing the scolding outside, it would be difficult for her to force Rong Qian to Huang Amao. The battle lasted until Anhao finished washing up and came out. Huang Amao scolded,¡±¡± Don¡¯t think that you can put on airs in front of me and Anhao just because you¡¯re the heir of the Rong Corporation. Let me tell you, our Anhao doesn¡¯t usually want to attend social gatherings, and she¡¯s too lazy to socialize with strangers. Otherwise, the door of this house would have been broken down by men. Who do you think you are to actually dare to pursue our Anhao¡­ ¡°Do I still need to pursue her?¡± Rong Qian snorted. When he saw Anhao walking over, he immediately put his arm around her shoulder and declared possessiveness,¡±¡±She¡¯s your Master Rongs girlfriend. She¡¯s my girlfriend, understand?¡± Huang Amao looked at Anhao in shock.¡±¡±Anhao! Really?¡± ¡°If he¡¯s sick, are you sick too? How could it be true! You actually dare to ask me if I¡¯m really a virgin?¡± After Anhao shook off Rong Qian, she quickly stepped aside.¡±You were the one who let her in. You¡¯re in charge of sending her away. I was dreaming last night and didn¡¯t sleep well. I have to go to work later and don¡¯t have the energy to play with the two of you.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you sleep well? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve been thinking about that string of numbers and passwords all night and even dreamed about it?¡± ¡°More or less.¡¯ Anhao went back to the bedroom to tidy up. When she came out, she saw that Rong Qian was too lazy to argue with Huang Amao. He had his hands in his pockets and was leaning on the back of the sofa, as if waiting for her. She didn¡¯t want to spin around with him. After tidying her hair, she was about to walk out. As she walked, she said,¡±lf you haven¡¯t eaten breakfast, let Huang Mao take you downstairs to eat. 1 don¡¯t have time to accompany you. Also, don¡¯t look for me at my workplace in the future. Even if you know our Section Chief, if you want to look for him, go straight to him. Don¡¯t appear in our office again.¡± Rong Qian raised his eyebrows and raised his leg to block Anhao¡¯s way when she was about to pass by him. Anhao looked down at his outstretched leg and paused for a moment. She suddenly raised her leg to kick his leg away, and at the same time, she used her other leg to avoid his outstretched leg and smoothly walked in front of him. Rong Qian¡¯s face instantly darkened. This woman used to know some Kung Fu, but she looked like a lotus flower after washing up in the morning. He had actually forgotten that she knew Kung Fu. Rong Qian endured the pain in his leg and looked at her.¡±¡±What time is it? The working hours of the political department are usually after 8:30 pm, and even at 9 pm, everyone will arrive.¡± ¡°Recently, I feel that my physical fitness is not very good. I want to go out early and exercise before going to work. What does it have to do with you?¡±Anhao said indifferently and walked to the door. ¡°Morning run? I¡¯ll accompany you.¡± Rong Qian turned around and walked over. ¡°No need.¡± Anhao changed her shoes and secretly gave Huang Amao a look.¡±¡±Take good care of First Young Master Rong. I hope that he won¡¯t be here when I get back from work.¡± After saying that, she pushed open the door and walked out quickly under Rong Qian¡¯s ugly expression. The door was slammed shut, and Rong Qian¡¯s nose was almost hit. He stood in place and looked at the door in front of him expressionlessly. Suddenly, he heard suppressed laughter coming from behind him. He immediately turned his eyes and coldly glanced at Huang Amao, who was holding back his laughter until his stomach hurt.¡±What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°l say, what¡¯s wrong with you? When did he start pursuing Anhao? Can¡¯t you tell that Anhao doesn¡¯t like you? By the way, 1 also heard that Rong Xue is your sister? Oh my god, you and Rongxue are siblings, but you still have the courage to chase after Anhao. Rongqian, is your head stuck in the door? If you can¡¯t correct it, I suggest you get pinched again. Perhaps you¡¯ll wake up a little. The door in front of you is not bad!¡± The corner of Rong Qian¡¯s mouth twitched. He pushed open the door and walked out, but Anhao had already slipped away. It was obvious that she did not want to spend another minute with him. Very good, Gu Anhao. The more you hide from me, the more I like to enjoy the pleasure of being a little tigress. The more you hide, the more I chase. Let¡¯s see if you run faster or I chase faster. Looking at the elevator that had already descended to the first floor, Rong Qian then slammed the door shut. Huang Amao¡¯s face turned long from the shock.¡±F * ck! Just ignore me like this! Should he slam the door or me? Have you forgotten who let you in? He was so heartless! Both of them are heartless!¡± A week later, Anhao followed Minister Qin to the old site of the cultural center for a meeting. Minister Qin noticed Anhao¡¯s silence along the way and asked her, ¡±Director Gu, you haven¡¯t been in a good mood these few days. Did something happen at home? Don¡¯t let your personal emotions affect your work.¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Anhao replied with a smile. How was she not in a good mood? She would feel uneasy whenever she went out with Minister Qin. Ever since Minister Qin asked her to send those things to Zuo Hancheng, she had no good impression of Minister Qin, a leader who looked decent on the surface but had dirty thoughts and methods. In the past, he treated Minister Qin as his senior and listened to his instructions everywhere. Now, he only hoped that Minister Qin could go to Beijing as soon as possible after the meeting here and stay as far away from him as possible. Minister Qin nodded and did not ask further. He seemed to be more troubled than her. It seemed that the last time he asked her to send something to Zuo Hancheng, he did not succeed. After that, he could not find any other way to try to curry favor with her. There must be some difficult problem or a big disaster. Although Anhao hadn¡¯t paid much attention to it these past few days, she noticed that there were a few more fine lines at the corners of Minister Qin¡¯s eyes in the past week. It seemed that he had encountered a lot of problems and obstacles.. Chapter 601 - Chapter 601: Go Take Care of President Zuo (1) Chapter 601: Go Take Care of President Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Um, Director Gu.¡± After a while, Minister Qin couldn¡¯t stay idle anymore. His gaze suddenly drifted to Anhao.¡±Did President Zuo really not say anything to you last time?¡± Anhao put on a fake smile as she looked at the look of anticipation in Minister Qin¡¯s eyes.¡±¡±I really didn¡¯t.¡± Minister Qin sighed faintly. ¡°¡±Then have you been in contact with President Zuo recently? If you have the opportunity to meet President Zuo again, you must help me pass a few words to him. Tell him that I will be holding a banquet soon. I wonder if President Zuo can come.¡± ¡°If I have the chance to see President Zuo, I will definitely help you convey the message.¡±Anhao continued to put on a fake smile to show that she didn¡¯t know anything. Minister Qin nodded and sighed again. He did not say anything more to her and turned around to talk to the others quietly. Anhao sat in the back of the car and looked at the scenery outside the window. She didn¡¯t say anything along the way, but Xiao Qiu, who accompanied Minister Qin to the meeting with her, kept looking for opportunities to talk to Minister Qin. Minister Qin was a little puzzled by Xiao Qiu¡¯s enthusiasm. Seeing that Anhao was sitting in the back of the car without saying a word, he ignored the inexplicably talkative Xiao Qiu. When they arrived at the old site of the cultural center, Minister Qin and the others got out of the car first. Xiao Qiu quickly got out and followed them.¡±Minister Qin, Minister Qin, about the matter I called you about last time¡­¡± Seeing that Xiao Qiu was chasing after her enthusiastically, Anhao got out of the car and put on her sunglasses because the sun was too strong. She glanced in the direction of Xiao Qiu and Minister Qin and smiled quietly. What an idiot. In the past, she had thought that Minister Qin was a decent person despite his beer belly and official tone. That was why she had given Minister Qin¡¯s phone number to Qiu half-jokingly to give her a slap in the face. She didn¡¯t know if she had made a fool of herself. What if Minister Qin was really interested in Xiao Qiu and the two of them really got together¡­Wouldn¡¯t she be harming Minister Qin¡¯s family? However, when she thought about the things that Minister Qin had asked her to give her last time, it was equivalent to selling her. Anhao pushed the sunglasses on her face and put away the compassion in her heart. The road was paved by people, and any opportunity was also fate. If Minister Qin was really dirty in the end, then whether this woman was Xiao Qiu or anyone else, something would happen sooner or later. Xiao Qiu was still talking non- stop to Minister Qin. Minister Qin walked very quickly and looked at the especially enthusiastic Xiao Qiu strangely. When they entered the cultural center, they suddenly stopped. When Anhao walked in, he said to Anhao,¡±¡±Director Gu, bring your people to the meeting room and wait.¡¯ After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly to the exhibition hall in front. It was only then that Xiao Qiu realized that she had been left behind by Minister Qin. He had no intention of letting her follow him. Gu Anhao was watching from the side. She could not put down her face and wanted to follow him into the exhibition hall. Anhao looked at her back indifferently.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that I had an affair with Minister Qin last time? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll be jealous if you kiss me in front of me?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s expression turned ugly as she glared at the same as you! Minister Qin has a wife and children. Only a shameless woman like you would be his mistress! I¡¯m looking for Minister Qin to give me some pointers. Don¡¯t think too much! Don¡¯t think that everyone is as shameless as you!¡¯ Anhao raised her eyebrows and snorted. She ignored her and went upstairs to find the meeting room. Xiao Qiu saw that Minister Qin had already left and that Gu Anhao had already gone upstairs. She stood there for a while before she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and followed Gu Anhao upstairs. As she walked, she said behind Gu Anhao,¡±¡±l heard that Minister Qin likes mature women, so in order to cater to Minister Qin¡¯s taste, you specially put on lipstick of this color these few days, right? What brand is your lipstick? What color number was it? How much was it? Did Minister Qin buy it for you?¡± At the mention of lipstick, Anhao remembered the small wound on her mouth a few days ago and the swollen wound for the whole day. Because she had been applying the bright red lipstick for two to three days in a row, she felt comfortable after a few days. Although the color was especially bright. it did make her look especially good. Huang Amao also said that she could try to challenge her style, so she had been using the lipstick for more than a week¡­ Hearing Qiu¡¯s words, Anhao glanced sideways at her. Because Anhao went upstairs first, she walked half a flight of stairs higher than Qiu. She lowered her head and looked at her coldly with disdain.¡±Have you heard of imitating others?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s expression froze and she snapped,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, stop pretending. I was just mocking you for using the same color. Who told you that I wanted to buy the same color as you?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? Did I mention the lipstick?¡± Anhao glanced at Qiu¡¯s new hairstyle and professional suit with a half- smile. It was almost a replica of her usual style at work. It seemed that she really thought that Minister Qin had something going on with her and that Minister Qin liked her style, so she secretly copied her daily style and dressed up in front of Minister Qin. ¡°The clothes I¡¯m wearing are from last year¡¯s spring and summer designs by J Givenchy. It¡¯s not some high-quality imitation that you can buy at the mall.¡±Anhao glared at her coldly and went upstairs. There was actually a story behind the professional suit she was wearing. The professor she had at the American school had always taken good care of her, including when she first went to the Porter company for an internship. The professor had given her this professional suit as an early graduation gift. At that time, Anhao didn¡¯t dare to accept it, but the professor said that he was used to giving graduation gifts to his favorite students. This was only because she had started work early, so he gave it to her in advance. Although Givenchy¡¯s clothes were very expensive, they were not particularly expensive when bought overseas. Anhao was a little embarrassed at the time, but the old professor was really nice. He was like an elder who took special care of her. Every time she saw his white beard, she could not resist. After all, she had never had an elder like her father or grandfather to love her. So she accepted it later, but she always remembered the gift from the professor. She thought that if she had the ability in the future, she would definitely return it to him. However, after she graduated, she realized that the students of the other professors did not receive graduation gifts. It did not matter if they were male or female students, whether they had been praised by him or not. She was the only one who received the gift. She had asked the professor who had given her the dress, but the professor had always given her an ambiguous answer. Even now, it was still a mystery.. Chapter 602 - Chapter 602: Go Take Care of President Zuo (2) Chapter 602: Go Take Care of President Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 Moreover, she rarely wore this dress, but every time she wore it, it was stunning. She didn¡¯t expect Xiao Qiu to be wearing this outfit instead of her usual business attire. It looked like they were wearing the same outfit today. Anhao immediately saw what had changed in Xiao Qiu over the past few days. She was already being polite by saying that she was imitating him. It was already good enough that she did not slap this shameless b * tch away. ¡°What¡¯s there to be proud of?¡± When they arrived outside the meeting room, Anhao was waiting outside. Xiao Qiu followed them and whispered,¡±¡±lt seems that you have a lot of men who have kept you. Someone must have bought it for you when you were studying abroad. Givenchy is nothing.¡± After saying that, Xiao Qiu turned around and waited at the side as if nothing had happened. She didn¡¯t go near Anhao. Anhao glanced at her and ignored her. She walked over when she heard some movement in the elevator. Sure enough, Minister Qin and a few other staff members came out. They were about to go to the conference room when Minister Qin suddenly walked towards Anhao. Moreover, Minister Qin seemed to be beaming with hope. When he walked up to Anhao, he said while no one was paying attention,¡±¡±President Zuo went on a business trip to Singapore two days ago and ate something cold. After he came back, his stomach problem acted up. He¡¯s recuperating at home now. Go and deliver some medicine to President Zuo.¡¯ Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly widened as she looked at Minister Qin, who was in a good mood, with an inexplicable feeling.¡±¡±I¡¯ll go deliver the medicine?¡± Minister Qin saw that she was unwilling and immediately said course. Didn¡¯t I already say it last time? You¡¯re more familiar with President Zuo than we are. Now that President Zuo is recuperating at home, and he has such a deep relationship and investment with our political F, of course we have to show our concern. We just asked you to deliver the medicine. What¡¯s with your expression now?¡± Anhao finally couldn¡¯t help but laugh coldly.¡¯¡±If I¡¯m sick, there¡¯s a doctor. Why would I go?¡± Although she knew that Zuo Hanchengs stomach problem was very serious, the main point now was that Minister Qin was trying to sell her out again and again. How was this a f * cking political department? How was she the director of the design department? Did she accidentally work part-time in the women¡¯s public relations department? Minister Qin looked at her unhappily.¡±¡±ls Director Gu dissatisfied with my arrangements?¡± ¡°l really don¡¯t understand your arrangements, Minister Qin.¡± Anhao said with a fake smile.¡¯ Minister Qin frowned again and you don¡¯t have to be angry with me. If it weren¡¯t for President Zuo¡¯s request, why would I let you leave at this time when the meeting is about to start?¡± Anhao¡¯s brows instantly froze. ¡°President Zuo is currently recuperating. He wants you to take care of him.¡±Minister Qin made things clear. Then, he suddenly looked at her with an ambiguous smile.¡±l really didn¡¯t misjudge him. Director Gu, you have to take advantage of this good opportunity. Don¡¯t regret it when President Zuo¡¯s patience runs out¡­¡± It sounded like this matter was fishy. If he did not explain, he would really be unable to explain himself. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand, Zuo and l¡­ ¡°Go quickly. President Zuo said that you know where he lives, so I won¡¯t explain anything to you.¡±Minister Qin said as he patted Anhao!s shoulder with a face full of admiration.¡±I¡¯ll handle the meeting. Take good care of President Zuo with all your heart.¡± Anhao almost choked on her own breath! She suddenly turned around and saw Minister Qin, who was about to enter the conference room. She quickly chased after him.¡±Minister, that, l¡­¡± ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Minister Qin turned around and glared at her.¡± Hurry up and go. President Zuo, who is usually difficult to talk to, has personally asked you to go over. Why are you still standing here and putting on airs with me? If President Zuo took a fancy to her, it would mean that she had been hit by a golden pie. Don¡¯t even think about casting a long line to catch a big fish. If there was such an opportunity, why didn¡¯t you hurry up and curry favor with her? Hurry up and go!¡¯ Minister Qin was in a good mood as he rushed into the meeting room. Anhao clenched her fists and stared at the closed door of the meeting room. She immediately turned her head and rolled her eyes at the chandelier in the corridor. She took out her phone and dialed Zuo Hanchengs number. Shut down? This was his old private number. It was possible that he had changed it, but if he had really changed it, it would definitely not be switched off. She put her phone away and turned around to walk out. She stomped on the ground as she walked down the stairs. She wished that Zuo Hanchengs face was all over the ground. Stomach problems need to be taken care of? It¡¯s not like he¡¯s paralyzed in bed. Did he have no arms or legs? Moreover, wasn¡¯t the injury he suffered back then even more serious than this? He was able to stand up even when he was covered in blood. How could a stomach problem knock him down now? Although she was angry, Minister Qin¡¯s words were still ringing in her ears. She could not get through to Zuo Hanchengs phone either. His work number and personal number were both switched off. If he really had a serious stomach problem and she was still angry, it would not be worth it if something really happened to him. Anhao hurriedly walked out and hailed a taxi. The driver asked her where she was going and she remembered the place that Zuo Hancheng had driven her to that day. She closed her eyes and said,¡±¡±Eternal Sea City!¡¯ She had noticed the name of the residential area when she left there last time. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to be waiting for her here. If she told Minister Qin that she knew where he lived, it was obvious that she had already been there. It would also make people think that something had really happened between her and Zuo Hancheng recently! After arriving at the place, Anhao paid the fare and got off the car. Before entering the neighborhood, she saw a pharmacy nearby. She suppressed the raging anger in her heart and forced herself to rationally buy a box of stomach medicine. She took the elevator to the twenty-fifth floor and stood in front of Zuo Hanchengs house with the stomach medicine in her hand. She stared at the door in front of her, wishing she could make a hole in it. After standing there for a few minutes, she took two deep breaths to suppress her anger and knocked on the door. Rather than saying that he knocked, it was more accurate to say that he smashed it with his hands. After knocking for about a dozen times, there was still no movement inside. Anhao frowned. Could it be that her stomach hurt so much that she fainted? Was there such a serious stomach problem? She knocked on the door a few more times with a hesitant look on her face. As she knocked on the door, she took out her phone to call Mobai to confirm if Zuo Hancheng was really at home today. She was so angry that she forgot to check with Mobai on the road earlier. As soon as he took out his phone, his hand knocked on the mechanical door. Suddenly, there was the sound of the door opening from inside, and then the door opened. Anhao turned around abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng standing at the door with a pale face in a bathrobe, He looked as if he had just woken up from a good dream.. Chapter 603 - Chapter 603: Go Take Care of President Zuo (3) Chapter 603: Go Take Care of President Zuo (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao turned around abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng standing at the door with a pale face in a bathrobe. He looked as if he had just woken up from a good dream. Anhao didn¡¯t care about that. She raised the stomach medicine in her hand and handed it to him.¡±Then, I¡¯ve bought the medicine. You continue to sleep. I¡¯m going back to work! ¡± After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Zuo Hancheng frowned and glanced at the medicine that she had suddenly stuffed into his hands.¡±¡±How did you know that I was recuperating at home?¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned to look at him.¡±Are you still pretending? You even called Minister Qin personally and asked me to take care of you!¡¯ Zuo Hanchengs eyebrows twitched slightly. He thought about how Mobai and Lin Qing had asked if they needed someone to come to his house to take care of him when his stomach problem had broken out. He had even asked if they needed to call Anhao. At that time, he didn¡¯t agree to it, and because he had taken the doctor¡¯s medicine, he had a good night¡¯s sleep at home. However, when he opened his eyes, he heard Anhao banging on the door. ¡°l didn¡¯t make the call. Since you¡¯re here, go in and have a seat.¡±¡± It wasn¡¯t him? ¡°If you didn¡¯t hit him, then who else could it be?¡± Anhao was puzzled. You even told our Minister Qin that I know where you live. Moreover, Minister Qin¡¯s gaze is so ambiguous as if he thought that I had stayed here for a few nights. Which one of you is so bold and unreliable? Isn¡¯t this forcing me to stay with you?¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed.¡± Alright, don¡¯t be so angry. Come in and sit.¡± ¡® ¡°I¡¯m not going in.¡± Anhao stood outside the door and refused to enter.¡± I was supposed to go to the old site of the cultural center for a meeting, but Minister Qin sent me here at the last minute. This Minister Qin is obviously trying to curry favor with you. If you don¡¯t like him, can you quickly get rid of him? Don¡¯t let him use me as a weapon again.¡¯¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Zuo Hanchengs eyebrows twitched slightly.¡± Anhao could tell that he didn¡¯t have much energy. Even his voice was soft, and it sounded perfunctory. It was more like he was weak. Anhao didn¡¯t continue to pester him. Since he wasn¡¯t the one who made the call, then it must be Mobai or Linqing. Anyway, based on the relationship between Mobai and Linqing and Zuo Hancheng, they might have found out that she had been here, so they told Minister Qin that. However, Minister Qin said that Zuo Hancheng was the one who requested it, but he did not say that Zuo Hancheng called him personally. If that was the case, then perhaps it really wasn¡¯t him. Her anger was extinguished in an instant, but Mobai and Lin Qing were too much of a scammer. The image of a female elite in the workplace that she had painstakingly built up had instantly turned into the kind of woman who had climbed into Zuo Hanchengs bed through the back door and used her power to climb up. ¡°l don¡¯t know if the medicine I bought can relieve your stomach problem. If it hurts that much, remember to go to the hospital.¡±After Anhao finished her sentence, she stopped looking at Zuo Hanchengs expression and his gaze and turned around. ¡°You still know how to care about me. You¡¯ve indeed grown up and are no longer so heartless.¡±Zuo Hancheng said meaningfully. He did not ask her to stay, but his words made Anhao stop in her tracks. She squeezed the bag in her hand tightly and turned to look at him. She saw that Zuo Hancheng had a warm and cold smile in his eyes, but his face was extremely pale. People like him had always been difficult to defeat, but now he looked so pale and haggard. A few days ago, he had even teased her and said something about asking her to stay. It made her feel that if she listened to him, she would have accidentally entered the tiger¡¯s den. She firmly refused to agree. However, he did not ask her to stay. Based on her understanding of Zuo Hancheng, she could guess that he was really seriously ill and did not want her to waste her work time to stay with him. He didn¡¯t know if women were really cheap sometimes. It was probably because of her stubbornness that she refused to walk and retreated. She knew that she was stubborn. Chunchun and Huang Amao had once said that she was like a stubborn donkey sometimes and was especially difficult to deal with. However, no matter how stubborn she was, she could not be too heartless when it came to Zuo Hancheng. Now, he actually wanted to stay. Perhaps this could really be considered as being despicable. He even forgot about how badly he had scolded Zuo Hancheng when he came over from the car. He just turned around and looked at him.¡±lt¡¯s almost noon now. Have you eaten?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a pair of clear eyes. He curled his lips and said,¡±¡±l ate it.¡¯ Eat your sister! It was obvious that there was no smoke in the house. There was not even a takeout box at the door. In his current state, he stood in front of the door and leaned half of his body against the door. Did he really think that she could not see how forced he was to stand there straight? Anhao pursed her lips and suddenly walked forward.¡±¡±Move aside, let me in.¡± Zuo Hancheng stood in front of the door without moving. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked sideways at Anhao, who had suddenly walked closer. Even though he was leaning against the door, he was still much taller than her. He lowered his gaze and looked at her expression and fair face as if she was angry at herself.¡±Aren¡¯t you in a hurry to go back to work?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to a meeting today. I haven¡¯t even entered the meeting room yet. There¡¯s no need to go today.¡± Anhao said angrily as she pushed open all the doors in front of her. Zuo Hancheng did not move, so she simply turned her body sideways and squeezed in beside him, trying not to touch him. It was not until she entered the door that Anhao noticed the various furnishings in his room. The last time he came, he did not dare to look at it too much and rushed to the second floor to take a shower. After he came down, he kept staring at Zuo Hanchengs actions and the document bag that he handed to him. Now, he looked around and did not care if Zuo Hancheng was still standing in front of the door and looking at him. He walked straight into the kitchen. When she finally found the kitchen, she opened the fridge and looked around. There was nothing inside. Did he treat this place as his home or a hotel he was temporarily staying in? Didn¡¯t Zuo Hancheng know how to cook? However, the kitchen looked brand new as if it had never cooked a meal before. There was not even the most basic cooking skills. She closed the fridge and looked around. When she walked out of the kitchen, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already returned to the living room. However, because his stomach was in so much pain that he could not take it anymore, he sat on the sofa in the corner. The dark blue bathrobe on his body made his face look even paler. However, when Anhao walked out, he turned to look at her. Although he was in pain, he was obviously in a good mood. Is the air delicious? Anhao couldn¡¯t help but mock him,¡±¡±You don¡¯t even eat on time when your stomach is acting up.. Do you think that you can recover from a cold by taking some medicine and sleeping well?¡± Chapter 604 - Chapter 604: Go Take Care of President Zuo (4) Chapter 604: Go Take Care of President Zuo (4) Translator: 549690339 It was rare for him to be reprimanded by Gu Anhao. Zuo Hancheng looked at her angry little face and finally got rid of the usual calmness that she had been trying to maintain after returning to the country. It was as if she had finally released the little wild cat from her cage. He smiled faintly.¡± A few days ago, I accidentally ate a lot of cold food on a business trip, which caused my stomach to suddenly flare up. I¡¯ll be fine after a few days of rest. It¡¯s nothing serious.¡±¡® ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s nothing serious. When a person eats air at home when he has a stomach problem, eating air for another day will really become a big deal.¡±Anhao rolled her eyes at him, picked up her bag, and stormed out. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word when he saw her actions. The room fell silent again when Anhao walked out of the room and slammed the door shut. Of course, Anhao didn¡¯t want to leave. After she left the house, she went straight to the nearby supermarket to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onions, ginger, and garlic. She was worried that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s stomach was not feeling well, so she decided to eat less rice and more noodles to nourish her stomach. Hence, she bought some eggs and noodles, as well as some fresh vegetables. Finally, she returned to the 25th floor with the two shopping bags. This time, she did not knock for as long as before. When Zuo Hancheng opened the door, she picked up the two shopping bags by her legs and said with a grunt,¡±¡±Move aside, move aside!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, then at the thing in her he already leave?¡± Anhao laughed.¡± Yes, I was planning to leave. I was afraid that you would starve to death halfway. If our Minister Qin complained that I didn¡¯t take good care of you later, he would remove my position before he stepped down. Then, all my effort and effort would be wasted! I can¡¯t let you drag me into this!¡± She walked around him as she spoke. Seeing that she had bought too many things, Zuo Hancheng stretched out his hand and said, ¡±I¡¯ll get it.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. You can¡¯t even stand properly now, so what are you holding? Move aside, don¡¯t block my way! ¡°Anhao rushed in and placed the two shopping bags in the kitchen. She let out a long sigh and raised her hand to shake her sore fingers. She took out the things one by one and arranged them in the kitchen. ¡°People who don¡¯t know might think that you¡¯re buying these things to live with me.¡±¡®Luo Hancheng glanced at her from the kitchen and teased her. Anhao, who was putting a bottle of vinegar on the cabinet, paused for a moment. She pretended not to hear anything and continued with what she was doing. As he was busy, he turned his back to the kitchen and you¡¯re a patient, go sit down or lie down to rest. Are you planning to stand and watch me for as long as I¡¯m here?¡± After saying that, she realized that there was no movement outside. She thought for a moment and turned to look outside the kitchen. She saw that Zuo Hancheng had already left. As expected¡­ She was flattering herself again. Embarrassed, she folded an empty bag and put it away. Then, she went to get the pot to boil water, wash the vegetables, and beat the eggs. When she finally brought out a bowl of vegetable egg noodles, Zuo Hancheng was sitting on the sofa with a computer beside him. He was holding a phone and discussing the follow-up progress of a new project. She did not listen carefully. After all, their company had all kinds of new projects every day that had nothing to do with her. It was useless to listen. However, he was still able to stick to his job despite being so sick. He was the CEO of Shengling Group, and no one dared to stop him when he really needed to rest. Otherwise, he would probably die of overwork sooner or later! Seriously, could work be a meal? Anhao placed a bowl of noodles heavily on the coffee table in front of him. Zuo Hancheng heard her voice and looked at the noodles on the coffee table. He did not know how the communication with the other side of the phone was going, so he said directly,¡±That¡¯s it for now. We¡¯ll discuss it next time.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone and pushed the laptop aside. He looked at the noodles on the coffee table and then at Anhao, who was standing at the side with an ugly expression.¡±You made it?¡± ¡°Nonsense, if I didn¡¯t do it, could it be a ghost?¡±Anhao said as she handed him the chopsticks and spoon.¡±¡±My cooking is definitely not as good as yours, but at least it¡¯s improved compared to three years ago. You should eat a little more. If you don¡¯t eat, your stomach problems will get worse.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He just looked at the bowl of noodles on the coffee table, picked up his chopsticks, and tasted it politely. Anhao didn¡¯t ask him if it was delicious. Anyway, even if she had put a bottle of vinegar in the soup, he would still be able to drink it. Now that she was confident in her cooking skills, he would definitely not sav anything negative except that it was delicious. Of course, there was no need for her to flirt with him. She went back to pour a cup of hot water and placed the glass beside him. Zuo Hancheng had already eaten quite a bit. He was really giving her face by eating a lot even though his stomach was hurting. ¡°After you finish eating, wait until the water is no longer so hot, then take the medicine.¡±Anhao placed the box of medicine on the coffee table.¡±¡±l know you¡¯re usually so busy that you don¡¯t have time to rest. Lin Qing said that you haven¡¯t been sleeping well in the past few years. It¡¯s rare for you to have a good rest when you¡¯re recuperating, but don¡¯t forget to eat and take your medicine. I¡¯m not a child anymore, and you¡¯re not either. There¡¯s no need to worry about me now.¡± Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, was casually fiddling with the noodles in his bowl with his chopsticks.¡±When did you learn how to cook?¡± It seemed that it was rare for her to talk to Zuo Hancheng so calmly after she returned. She then met his gaze that seemed to contain warmth. She looked at him peacefully and said calmly,¡±Since I was the one who asked to study abroad, I definitely won¡¯t let myself go and laze around in the past few years. I¡¯ve been working hard to grow up both in my studies and in my life. In the past, you were the one who took care of me. Now that you can eat the egg noodles I made, you can reluctantly treat it as my homework in front of you.¡± Zuo Hanchengs lips curled up slightly when he heard the word ¡®homework¡¯. He continued to eat more than half of the bowl. After a long while, he said,¡±¡±Not bad.¡¯ Was this an evaluation of her ¡± homework ¡®t ? Anhao stood at the side and watched for a while. She realized that she had been waiting for Zuo Hancheng to give her an evaluation. She realized that she had gone too far with her brain. She took the opportunity to pick up her bag while he continued eating his noodles. ¡°Remember to take your medicine after you¡¯re done. There¡¯s nothing else I can help you with here, so I¡¯ll be leaving first. There are some noodles and vegetables 1 bought in the fridge. If you can make it yourself, make some more noodles. After all, noodles are good for the stomach. If you can¡¯t move, get Lin Qing or MO Bai to take care of you.¡± She didn¡¯t realize that she was like an old woman who was talking a lot of nonsense. Anhao was about to walk out. Zuo Hanchengs phone suddenly rang, but she did not stop. Just as she was about to put on her shoes, Zuo Hancheng hung up the phone and said to Anhao¡¯s back,¡±¡±Help me do something..¡± Chapter 605 - Chapter 605: Go Take Care of President Zuo (5) Chapter 605: Go Take Care of President Zuo (5) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao was sitting in Zuo Hanchengs study room, she turned on her computer, picked up the documents on the table, and put them into the scanner. While waiting for the computer to turn on, she casually picked up the folder beside her and flipped through it. Zuo Hanchengs house was not a place where anyone could come to as they pleased, so there were still some things related to trade secrets in his study. This folder showed the various projects that he had personally reviewed over the past few years. It was as if he could see everything that Zuo Hancheng had experienced in the three years that she was not around, every new project, and every new leap in Shengling Group. Before she left the house, Zuo Hancheng asked her to do something for him. There was a text contract that Lin Qing had given him in the company, and he couldn¡¯t find it. The contract hadn¡¯t been entered into the computer yet. The other copy was with Zuo Hancheng, and he needed it urgently today, so he needed to scan it into the computer and send it to them. To put it bluntly, she was staying behind to act as Zuo Hanchengs secretary and help him, a patient who did not have much strength for the time being. Moreover, this job was originally done by an assistant or secretary. He was really comfortable using her and was actually not afraid that she would steal the business secrets. Anhao looked up and saw that the computer had already been turned on. She was about to put down the folder in her hand when she suddenly paused and looked down at a project related to a seaside resort in A City. The villa in the seaside resort that Mr. V bought was actually developed by Shengling Group? Zuo Hancheng was now involved in all kinds of fields in the country. He was involved in anything that made money. It seemed that in a few years, the so-called Zuo family¡¯s few companies would not be able to compare to the performance of Shengling Group. Zuo Hancheng walked into the study room and Anhao heard the noise and turned around to say: ¡°That seaside resort was developed by your company?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and then at the file in her hand. He said calmly,¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s a seaside resort, why would there be a private residential villa area?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a blueprint of the overall structure? See for yourself.¡± Anhao lowered her head to look at the contents of the seaside resort again. Only then did she see the structural diagram on the next page. Originally, the resort was divided into two parts, both of which were close to the sea. Although they were close to each other, they were divided into two major parts. One part was used for the development of the resort as a major tourist site in A City, and the other part was used to build seaside villas. Most of the nearby seaside areas had been acquired by Shengling Group. It seemed that they planned to build a large residential group, villas, small residences, and high-rise buildings by the sea. They were all built according to the stability of the foundation. They had already made very good arrangements. She suddenly thought of Mr. V¡¯s villa, so she deliberately kept an eye out and asked,¡±The villas there should be very expensive, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not cheap.¡± ¡°Are the people who buy houses there especially rich and influential? I heard that many people with high work pressure like to buy houses by the sea and live in places with wide views and freedom. The interior design project that Mobai helped me with is in your seaside resort. I guess the owner of that house is really a wealthy buyer.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He glanced at the scanner on the table and said,¡±¡±You sent it to Lin Qing?¡± Anhao quickly put down the folder in her hand.¡±¡±Right away, there are still two more pages.¡± As she spoke, she lowered her head and continued to pick up the contract and put it into the scanner. She looked up at the scanned items on the screen and edited the pictures to make them clearer before sending them to Lin Qing one by one. Zuo Hancheng had somehow walked to a spot close to her back. Anhao was so focused on editing the picture while staring at the screen that she did not even notice when Zuo Hancheng was standing behind her. By the time she noticed the presence beside her after fixing a few of the pictures, he had already leaned over. He had one hand on her shoulder and the other on the table beside her. Just like that, he almost surrounded her as he looked down at the scanned image she had edited on the computer.¡±The ink in the signature column of the contract should be as real as possible. Lin Qing is preparing to bring the contract over again. If the photoshop marks are too much, the other party will suspect that there is a problem.¡± Anhao¡¯s movements were a little stiff because she was surrounded by his aura. However, when she saw that Zuo Hancheng was staring at the screen without any other intentions, she continued to place the remaining page into the scanner and asked,¡±¡±Did you take your medicine just now? Are you feeling better?¡± ¡°Much better.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered straightforwardly. However, Anhao turned her head and saw that he was very close to her. Looking at his side profile, she could still see that his face was pale. It seemed that the stomach medicine that she had just bought was not very effective. She had specially bought the stomach medicine made from Chinese medicine to avoid stimulating the stomach. However, the effect of the Chinese medicine was particularly slow. His stomach would probably be hurting all the time. ¡°I just need to send these few contracts to Secretary Lin.¡¯!Anhao said,¡± Go and rest first. I¡¯ll give Secretary Lin a call after I¡¯m done. I¡¯ll leave after I¡¯m sure that there¡¯s no problem with her. You can go and rest. You don¡¯t have to stay here and watch. My work efficiency shouldn¡¯t be enough to worry you.¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and looked down at her. The moment he lowered his gaze, his chin was almost touching her hair. Anhao pretended to adjust the position of the contract page in the scanner scanner to avoid such intimate contact with him. Besides, Zuo Hancheng must have taken a shower before he went to bed and fell asleep in a bathrobe. Even though she had woken up, the clean and fragrant scent of shower gel still wafted into her nose. This smell was too familiar. No matter what he used, he seemed to be very sentimental. He would not change the brand or taste so casually. Most importantly, she could see Zuo Hanchengs chest through his bathrobe from her angle. The scene in front of her and the stimulation of her sense of smell made Anhao unable to sit still for a moment. She tried to persuade him again and again,¡±Since you¡¯re not worried, go and rest quickly. I promise that 1 won¡¯t touch anything in your study room, and I won¡¯t reveal your company¡¯s trade secrets. You should absolutely trust me on this!¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled. ¡°Since you believe me, then go and rest.¡±Anhao felt that she couldn¡¯t stand his gaze anymore. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be in a hurry to leave after you pass the thing to Lin Qing.¡±Zuo Hancheng had already stood up as he spoke, He was no longer standing beside her in a position where he was almost hugging her. Anhao felt that her breathing became much smoother, but she looked at him inexplicably..¡±¡±ls there anything else you need my help with?¡± Chapter 606 - Chapter 606: Go and Take Care of President Zuo (6) Chapter 606: Go and Take Care of President Zuo (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hanchengs elegant eyebrows moved slightly as he looked at her.¡±¡±No one¡¯s cooking dinner either. You stay and cook.¡± Anhao stared at him in surprise. I happened to run into you just now, and it happened to be noon. 1 was afraid that you would starve to death, so I made a bowl of noodles out of kindness. Don¡¯t push your luck, Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and said,¡¯¡±¡±Why did Minister Qin ask you to come over?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao immediately glared at him. He asked me to take care of you, so do I really have to take care of you here? If your stomach disease hasn¡¯t recovered today, do I have to skip work tomorrow and continue to take care of you?¡± ¡± I think Minister Qin will grant you this leave,¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± He won¡¯t consider you absent from work.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s face twitched.¡± Minister Qin is Minister Qin, and I am me. Besides, didn¡¯t you dislike him?¡± Why did he take his words seriously? I didn¡¯t even take him seriously, you¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng did not continue listening and walked out of the study. Anhao stared at his back and turned to look at the scanned image on the computer. She quickly edited the image and sent it to Lin Qing before turning off the computer. She threw the folder aside and quickly walked out.¡±How many days do you plan to recuperate at home? If it¡¯s only for a day or two, I¡¯ll call Lin Qing later and ask her to arrange for a more thoughtful secretary to take care of your daily life. If you plan to rest for a few more days, then you can specially find a nanny.¡± ¡°With you here, why go through so much trouble?¡±Zuo Hancheng walked into the bedroom as if he could not understand the meaning behind her words. Anhao choked on her words. She quickly walked to the bedroom and pushed the door open, wanting to argue with him. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Zuo Hancheng taking off his bathrobe. He was obviously planning to change his clothes. Anhao was so shocked that she quickly covered her eyes with her hand. She closed the door again while covering her eyes and complaining you tell me in advance that you¡¯re coming in to change your clothes? I-I-I promise I didn¡¯t see anything!¡¯ After saying that, he hurriedly left and slammed the bedroom door with a bang. She turned around and looked at the living room. She let out a long sigh and saw the bowls and chopsticks on the coffee table. She quickly walked over and put them away. She took them to the kitchen to wash them in the sink and put them away. After washing her hands and walking out of the kitchen, Zuo Hancheng had already changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. He simply changed out of his bathrobe and into a lighter, light-colored T-shirt. Because he was in the elite arena, he usually wore a shirt and suit. It was not that Anhao had never seen him wear such a comfortable and light T-shirt at home, but this kind of clothes easily showed off his figure¡­ For example, it could be seen that Zuo Hancheng had been suffering from insomnia and stomach problems for the past three years. It sounded like he was not in a good state. However, looking at his firm chest under his clothes, he was still the best of the best. Moreover, his figure looked even more perfect than it was three years ago¡­ Tsk, he accidentally exposed his chest in a bathrobe. Changing into a T-shirt was also easy to attract people to commit crimes. He was so handsome in a shirt that it made people have nosebleeds. This man really didn¡¯t want women to live. Anhao didn¡¯t look at him. She only glanced at her bag on the sofa and walked over. ¡®¡±I¡¯ll definitely get Lin Qing to arrange for someone to take care of you before dinner. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Zuo Hancheng was sitting on the sofa. Although he seemed to be in good spirits after eating and changing his clothes, his face was still extremely pale. He looked at her as if she was about to leave. His dark eyes remained calm and he said, ¡°You know my habits. I¡¯m not used to others taking care of me. If I can do it myself, I¡¯ll try my best not to trouble anyone else. If you have something to do, leave first.¡¯ ¡°..¡±Even though she knew that he was deliberately provoking her, Anhao still couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes.¡±¡±You try your best not to trouble others, but you like to trouble me, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, his attitude calm and clear.¡±¡±You are not just anyone.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to look at him again, let alone look into his eyes. When she felt that Zuo Hancheng had no intention of forcing her to stay, she took the opportunity to walk quickly to the door and walked out without saying a word. As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly saw a man and a woman walking out of the elevator opposite. When she saw the two of them, Anhao stopped in her tracks. When they were walking out of the elevator with their things and hadn¡¯t noticed her, she quickly opened the door that hadn¡¯t been closed yet, retreated back inside, and closed the door. Then, she stood there with her face pressed against the door for a long time, lost in thought. Then, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had been sitting there calmly all this while. No matter whether she left or stayed, he seemed to be unperturbed. ¡°Why are Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran here?¡± Zuo Hancheng was not surprised when he heard Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran¡¯s names. It was obvious that it was not strange for her to bump into Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran here. Anhao leaned against the door in confusion. She heard the commotion outside, the sound of the door next door, and the conversation between Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran. ¡® Zeyang, my grandfather didn¡¯t mean it that way. Don¡¯t be angry with him. You know that the Qi family has been restricted in the military for the past few years. My grandfather has suffered a lot. In the past two years, his health has been getting worse. He doesn¡¯t have many years left to live. Please forgive him. What he said today is really not what you think¡­¡± Qi Weiran kept arguing with Yi Zeyang after they got out of the elevator. Yi Zeyang did not say anything, but the door next door shut off the sound. Anhao hesitated for a moment before opening the door a little more. She stuck her head out and looked outside. She saw that the door next door was already tightly shut, and the soundproofing was so good that she couldn¡¯t hear anything. She closed the door hesitantly and turned to Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±What happened? Why are they living next door?¡± This coincidence is a bit too much. It was deliberate! ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Yi Zeyangs interference, the Qi family wouldn¡¯t have just lost their power in the military.¡±Although Zuo Hanchengs face was pale, his expression was calm. He seemed much colder at the mention of the Qi family. Anhao didn¡¯t understand at first, but after a while, she felt a chill down her spine and thought of the house next door. This residential area was newly built a few years ago. When she left three years ago, the greenery was not completed, so she could not move in. If this house was Yi Zeyangs, he must have bought it later. The Yi family¡¯s old mansion was obviously huge, but was this house specially bought to accommodate Qi Weiran? If that house belonged to Yi Zeyang¡­Zuo Hancheng was right next to him, and the one who was the biggest threat was definitely Yi Zeyang! Chapter 607 - Chapter 607: The Only Place You Can Go (1) Chapter 607: The Only Place You Can Go (1) Translator: 549690339 Could it be that Zuo Hanchengs next goal¡­Was it the Yi family? ¡°You want to touch Yi Zeyang?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze paused for a moment before she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng did not explain. He just sat there and watched the shock in her eyes from afar. ¡± Don¡¯t be so naive. If it weren¡¯t for the Yi Group¡¯s favor three years ago, the Qi and Gu families would never have been so arrogant that they dared to compete with Shengling Group regardless of their financial resources. If it weren¡¯t for the support of the Yi Group, do you really think those politicians would have that kind of power?¡± Anhao did not say anything at first. She leaned against the door and thought for a while before saying,¡± Uncle Yi has a misunderstanding about my mother. He seems polite to me on the surface, but in reality, he has a lot of complaints. I can understand that you¡¯re targeting the Yi family, but Yi Zeyang¡­¡± ¡°If you stand here and mention Yi Zeyangs name one more time, I¡¯ll make him suffer one less day in advance.¡±Zuo Hanchengs expression was clear.¡± I believe that the past three years have been enough for you to hone your mind. You should also know what you can and cannot do, and you should be able to distinguish the difference between the past and reality. Whether the Yi family did you a favor or not in the past, they¡¯ll be the real ¡®kind¡¯ to you when you¡¯re down. Whether it¡¯s Yi Zeyang or Yi Wei, they have nothing to do with you at this moment.¡¯ Anhao took a deep breath. It had been so long that she had almost forgotten. Other than being a warm man, Zuo Hancheng was also a merciless adjudicator. He had already set up an inescapable net. Since he had already identified a target and delayed his attack for so long, he had already given her enough face. What could she say? It was as if he couldn¡¯t say or do anything. After all, this was still the root of the disaster that she had left behind before she left. It was all her fault, and¡­ Zuo Hancheng obviously knew the real reason whv she left. Other than her evasiveness and heartlessness, there was also the Qi familys coercion, the Gu family¡¯s black hand, and the Yi family¡¯s silence. Honestly speaking, she could not stop anything now. However, she felt a little uncomfortable because the person was Yi Zeyang. She did not say anything. After a moment of silence, she was about to push the door open and walk out. However, Zuo Hancheng had already walked to her side and said in a deep voice before she went out,¡±¡±Anhao, remember to protect yourself. Don¡¯t interfere.¡± She turned to look at him.¡± I don¡¯t intend to interfere in the matters of these three families. Don¡¯t worry, I know what I have to do.¡±¡± Hearing her reply, Zuo Hanchengs eyes were filled with relief.¡±¡±As expected of a grown up, a good man!¡± Anhao looked at him unhappily.¡± I wasn¡¯t really a child in the past. I¡¯ve only gained a lot of experience in the past few years. Don¡¯t make it sound like I was ignorant in the past.¡±¡± ¡°l didn¡¯t say that you were sensible. You¡¯re very insensible now.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± Anhao looked at him in confusion.¡± What do you mean?¡± He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and pointed at the room with his chin. Anhao looked around in confusion. However, when she heard Zuo Hanchengs words, she rolled her eyes. ¡°If you¡¯re sensible, you should listen to Minister Qin¡¯s suggestion and stay behind to take good care of me.¡± Anhao snorted.¡± You¡¯ve been scheming against me all this time. You even schemed against me over dinner. Zuo Hancheng, is your stomach pain transferred to the nerve endings in your brain? Is your brain out of its mind?¡± How could he be so shameless just for dinner?¡± ¡°I¡¯m indeed recuperating, and I don¡¯t have the strength to cook for now. How am I shameless?¡± ¡°Shameless everywhere!¡± Anhao glanced at him. She actually had a strong desire to leave, but when she stood in front of the door, she raised her eyes and stared at the door for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she turned to look at him. When Zuo Hancheng caught her gaze, he raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°l can stay and make dinner for you.¡±Anhao turned around and walked away. After throwing her bag on the sofa, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was walking much slower than her. He was indeed recovering from his illness, and he was indeed in a bad mental state. If not for the fact that he was indeed not feeling well, she would not have compromised so easily. ¡°There are conditions?¡± Zuo Hancheng could tell that she was up to something. ¡°Ha, of course!¡± Anhao looked at him.¡± You have to know that I¡¯ve been avoiding you every day. Now that I can stay and take care of you for a day, I¡¯ve really broken through my inner limits. If there were no conditions, how could I be so stupid as to stay?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not comment on her words. His expression did not change as he looked at her quietly.¡±What conditions?¡± ¡°There are still a few hours until dinner time. I will make some changes according to our design in these few hours. You just have a stomachache. Sit at the side and guide me to modify the parts that you are not satisfied with. Before I cook dinner, let me make a design that you are very satisfied with!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her shrewd and smiling expression.¡±¡±You¡¯ve become smarter. Are you trying to subdue me?¡± Initially, Anhao was still proud of herself for being quick-witted. Instead of being pestered by Minister Qin every day to come to Zuo Hanchengs place, she might as well sacrifice this afternoon to finish the design drafts here. This way, she would no longer have to suffer from the torture of the design drafts and see Zuo Hancheng walk over her to keep her in suspense! ¡°This is the condition. You can accept it or reject it. Anyway, there are still a few hours before dinner time.¡±For a moment, Anhao smiled like a little fox. Zuo Hancheng looked at her calmly.¡±¡±Leave? Go where? The only place you can go is by my side.¡± The smug smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes was gradually replaced by shock. Zuo Hancheng was still looking at her. His eyes were calm. It was not a passionate confession of love, nor was it a domineering order. The only place you can go is by my side. It sounded as if he had said it casually. It was quiet, neither exaggerated nor ethereal, but each word struck her heart. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you¡­¡± Anhao was about to speak when Zuo Hancheng interrupted her.¡±¡± The design plan is divided into two large areas. The cultural center will be mainly in the political style according to the requirements of the government. The stadium will be rearranged according to the commercial method of the cooperation between the government and Shengling Group. It¡¯s very simple. You don¡¯t need to spend an afternoon to give pointers. Think carefully and make changes.¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to turn around and return to the bedroom when he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at her. Anhao felt as if she was about to be pierced through by his gaze and shivered inexplicably. Zuo Hancheng suddenly said,¡± Aren¡¯t you sleepy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s only one o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Of course I¡¯m not sleepy¡­l slept pretty well last night.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± As Zuo Hancheng entered the bedroom, he said,¡±¡±Come and sleep with me..¡± Chapter 608 - Chapter 608: The Only Place You Can Go Is By My Side (2) Chapter 608: The Only Place You Can Go Is By My Side (2) Translator: 549690339 How shameless was Zuo Hancheng to say such a thing? First, he said that she could only go to places with him, and now he wanted her to sleep with him?! Excuse-me?Are you sure you¡¯re not joking? Anhao stared at his back and saw that he had already entered the bedroom. It was as if he had just given a very simple order and had no intention of asking for her permission. Anhao pretended not to hear him and sat on the sofa to study the design. All she could think about now was the blueprints, blueprints, blueprints, Minister Qin, Zuo Hancheng, all of them. Get the blueprints done, start work, finish the project, and receive the final payment as soon as possible. Then, she would have money. If she wanted to investigate her mother¡¯s matter, she would not have to send money one by one. She would have the funds to investigate together with her. Just as she was about to take out a design sketch from her bag and before she could find a pen, she heard Zuo Hanchengs voice coming from the bedroom.¡±¡±Since we¡¯ve discussed the conditions, shouldn¡¯t we abide by our own principles?¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was holding the design sketch paused for a moment before she looked in the direction of the bedroom.¡±¡±lf you want to sleep, then sleep. Since I promised to stay and take care of you, I¡¯ll take care of you when you wake up. Moreover, you only asked me to stay and make dinner. You didn¡¯t say that I had to listen to you for the entire afternoon, so I can reject any unreasonable request of yours¡­¡± The bedroom was quiet for a while. Zuo Hancheng probably thought that he had gone too far, so he did not make another sound. Anhao took out a pen and picked up the laptop that Zuo Hancheng had placed by the sofa. His voice came out again. I¡¯m sleeping, I¡¯m not in the sky Anhao¡¯s gaze paused for a moment as she recalled the first person she saw when she opened the door. Judging from his drowsy expression, it seemed that he had been disturbed by her, so he looked very pale. However, although he had taken medicine for his stomach pain, and although the medicine was very strong, perhaps others could sleep well because of it, it was only her guess whether Zuo Hancheng had fallen asleep or not. He had never said that he had been sleeping. When she went out to buy things, she bought a box of fresh milk dated this morning. She got up and went to the fridge to take it out. After heating it up, she walked to the bedroom with a glass of milk. Zuo Hancheng was not lying on the bed. Instead, he was sitting on the edge of the bed. When he heard her walking in, he turned to look at her. When he saw the glass of milk in her hand, he frowned slightly.¡±You think milk is better than sleeping pills?¡± ¡°At least I can relax after drinking it.¡±Anhao said as she handed him the milk.¡±¡±Have a drink. It¡¯s still a little hot.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng glanced at it and took it. He did not test the temperature nor drink it. Instead, he placed the glass of milk on the cabinet beside the bed. I specially went to warm up milk. If you don¡¯t drink it, I¡¯ll¡­¡± Ah-¡± Anhao suddenly let out a cry of surprise. After Zuo Hancheng put down the cup, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. Because Anhao was not prepared at all, he only exerted a slight force and she was suddenly pulled towards the bed behind him. As soon as her body landed on the soft bed, Anhao instinctively wanted to get up, but Zuo Hancheng had already turned around and pushed her down in the middle of the bed. Just as Anhao was about to sit up, he leaned over and approached her. ¡°Zuo Hancheng! I told you that you couldn¡¯t cook because of your stomachache, so I was soft-hearted and stayed behind to help you cook dinner! You can¡¯t go too far!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not force her to hug him, but he bent down and trapped her between his body and the bed. Anhao turned to look at the gap between his arms and wanted to squeeze out, but Zuo Hancheng did not stop her. Just as she was about to move, he said calmly,¡±¡±How am I going overboard? Because you haven¡¯t grown a heart, you haven¡¯t slept with me for three years, and now it¡¯s so hard for you to sleep with me?¡± When Anhao heard that, the wall in her heart instantly collapsed by half. She suddenly looked up and met his dark eyes.¡±What does your insomnia have to do with me? How can you blame me for not sleeping well for the past three years? You were clearly healthy in the past and didn¡¯t have these problems. Don¡¯t think that just because I wasn¡¯t in the country for the past three years, you can push the blame to me. I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that it¡¯s difficult to cure your heart disease, how could you not have slept well for the past three years? Gu Anhao, are you sure you want to push away all the responsibility? Hmm?¡± Zuo Hanchengs voice was cold, but at the same time, it gradually became oppressive. The two of them were so close to each other that their noses were almost touching. They were so close that they could feel each other¡¯s breathing and Gu Anhao could hear his steady heartbeat. ¡°I¡­¡± Anhao raised her eyes and met his gaze. She realized that she had already stopped arguing and bickering out of habit. It had always been like this! Everyone said that she was good at talking, but that was only when she was not in front of Zuo Hancheng! As long as she was in front of him, as long as she met his gaze, she would not be able to say anything. It was as if all the reason belonged to him. She would always be the unreasonable high school student who kept angering him and causing trouble for him. For some reason, she felt as if she had accidentally fallen into a trap. However, when she looked up at Zuo Hancheng, she saw that his gaze was warm and cold, but her face was reflected in his dark eyes. ¡°Are you sure you didn¡¯t ask me to come here today? Was it really just Mobai and Lin Qings decision?¡±She could only lie on the bed weakly under his pressure. At least she could maintain some distance from him. Compared to the previous stalemate where they were almost nose to nose, this made her feel relieved. Zuo Hancheng looked at her condescendingly.¡±¡±What do you think?¡± If she knew, would she still ask him? It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng was keeping her in suspense. Anhao could tell that Zuo Hancheng was trying to strike first, but his stomach was hurting so badly that he had to put down his work and recuperate at home. Yet, he still had the energy to control her! She raised her hand to her forehead and looked up at the man who was still leaning on her.¡±Your stomach doesn¡¯t hurt anymore?¡± ¡°It hurts.¡¯ ¡°Why are you still like this when it hurts? Don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll touch your face and see if you¡¯re pretending to be sick with powder. Otherwise, how could you be so fair?¡± As she spoke, she suddenly sat up. Before she could raise her hand, he pressed it down. Anhao could tell that he was really sick and his face was pale. She was just trying to break the awkwardness just now. Now that her hands were suddenly restrained, she glared at him with an ugly expression.¡±Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t be too shameless. Even if there was such a thing in the past, we¡¯re already divorced.. If you dare to do anything to me now, you¡¯ll be a complete bastard¡­¡± Chapter 609 - Chapter 609: The Only Place You Can Go Is By My Side (3) Chapter 609: The Only Place You Can Go Is By My Side (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng scoffed and grabbed her hand that was pressed against the bed. He interlocked his fingers and said meaningfully,¡±¡±What do you think I will do to you?¡± Anhao stared at him as he slowly pressed down on her.¡±What do you think you¡¯re doing? Wasn¡¯t this the same as harming innocent girls?¡± Zuo Hanchengs lips curled into a smile, and the paleness on his face became more obvious. If Anhao was not really worried about his current physical condition, she would have kicked him away long ago. No matter how skilled he was, he was still a patient. Just a stomachache was enough for her to kick him away! As she watched Zuo Hanchengs handsome and pale face approach and press down inch by inch, Anhao froze and did not move. She stared at the warmth in his eyes and suddenly thought of the way Zuo Hancheng looked when he took the things she wrote before the divorce. She thought of the time when she had a miscarriage and Zuo Hancheng did not even let her say sorry. For three whole years, she stubbornly refused to return to the United States. For three whole years, she also tried her best to ignore everything that she once valued the most. However, there were some things that were hidden deep in her heart. She tried her best to suppress them in a place that no one knew about. However, they were gradually stirred up. Gradually, she could not tell whether it was three years ago or three years later. She could not tell whether the man in front of her was still the same Zuo Hancheng from back then, the husband who doted on her back then, or the current overlord of the business world, the black-bellied man who had reached the pinnacle¡­ Zuo Hanchengs approach made the waves in Anhao¡¯s heart surge. In the end, she closed her eyes. It wasn¡¯t like they hadn¡¯t been together before. If they really couldn¡¯t control their passion, she wouldn¡¯t have been so flirtatious like a chaste woman. At least¡­At the very least, this person was Zuo Hancheng. However, she could clearly feel his oppressive breath, and her heart was already in turmoil. However, after waiting for a long time, he still did not kiss her. Anhao suddenly opened her eyes and met Zuo Hanchengs line of sight. She saw that he was looking at her at such a close distance for a long time. Sensing that he had taken in all of Anhao¡¯s helpless look, Anhao was about to get up and leave when Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly, his face turning paler. When she saw his expression, Anhao froze in her actions of pushing him away forcefully. She could only hold on to the last bit of rationality in her mind before she exploded and said, ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re too¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned his head and sighed helplessly.¡±My stomach hurts.¡¯ Anhao¡¯s voice immediately stopped. She watched helplessly as he suddenly let go of her and then lay down beside her weakly. Judging from his expression and state, the severity of his stomach pain was definitely no less than some symptoms of stomach spasms. ¡°This is too serious. Do you have the number of a family doctor? I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡± Anhao said as she got off the bed. However, before her feet touched the ground, her hand was suddenly grabbed by him. Zuo Hanchengs hand was still warm. At least, every time they held hands, it seemed like her hand was cold and he seemed to have a fixed temperature that could instantly warm up all her coldness. ¡°Before the vacation, a doctor had already seen him. It¡¯s acute rheumatism. The pain caused by cold food will be fine tomorrow.¡±Zuo Hancheng held her hand and did not let her leave. At the same time, he said,¡±Come over and sleep with me for a while.¡¯ At this moment, Anhao finally understood what he meant by asking her to sleep with him. It was not what she had thought before¡­ Or if he really wanted to do something, he probably couldn¡¯t focus on doing anything to her now. This was clearly asking her to be a sleeping pill! Anhao sat back on the bed, her hand still held by him. She sat awkwardly by the bed and muttered softly,¡±¡±Even if I stay here with you, you might not be able to fall asleep. The insomnia and poor quality of sleep might have something to do with your mental state. Back then, those three families forced you to go to hell. Even if they didn¡¯t do anything to you, you definitely wouldn¡¯t have been under any pressure during that time. So, you might have suffered from insomnia due to mental stress¡­ She was muttering softly when she suddenly realized that Zuo Hancheng had been lying beside her for a long time without saying anything. His breathing sounded even. Why did he seem to be asleep? Anhao turned her head abruptly and saw that Zuo Hancheng had indeed closed his eyes. Listening to his light and even breathing, and looking at him resting quietly with his eyes closed, it seemed that he had really fallen asleep. Did it have to be so fast? Why did you fall asleep so quickly? This was clearly better than the quality of her sleep! Seeing that he had fallen asleep, she was about to get up but just as she was about to pull her hand away, she realized that although Zuo Hancheng had fallen asleep, his grip on her hand did not decrease at all. She stood by the bed for a long time before she finally gave up on taking her hand out. She slowly sat back down on the bed and maintained a comfortable position. She took a pillow and placed it against the headboard. She lowered her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng, who was asleep, seemed to have removed all external things, such as reputation, power, money, past, family background, everything. When a person is asleep, it is the purest, the truest, and the simplest. Perhaps in this world, there is no one, there is no one, there is a chance to see this, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one, there is no one. He was already asleep, but she could still feel the strength of his hand on her hand. Even if she pulled her hand away a little, he would feel it and wake up immediately. The sunset outside the window was so beautiful that Anhao only realized that she had fallen asleep when she opened her eyes. Just as she was about to get up, she realized that she was lying beside Zuo Hancheng. She had already let go of her hand, but his arm was around her waist, and he was hugging her in the most intimate way possible. Zuo Hancheng woke up at the same time because she had accidentally turned over in shock. When he opened his eyes, he was staring at her in his arms because he had regained his composure. Anhao suddenly sat up. As he spoke, he hurriedly got off the bed and rushed out of the bedroom without looking back. When she ran out of the bedroom, she remembered that it was already 6:30 pm. Anhao ran to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water with a face full of annoyance. After washing her hands, she ran into the kitchen. She didn¡¯t buy many ingredients in the first place, and she needed to nourish her stomach. She didn¡¯t know what to do at the moment, so she could only continue to make noodles.. Chapter 610 - Chapter 610: The Only Place You Can Go Is By My Side (4) Chapter 610: The Only Place You Can Go Is By My Side (4) Translator: 549690339 However, this time, she changed the way she made it. It was no longer a simple vegetable egg noodle. Instead, she used the new method she had learned not long ago to make the noodles. She sprinkled some egg-flavored soup on top. It would take a long time to do this, and she could take the time to sort out everything that had happened today while she was busy preparing dinner for Zuo Hancheng in the kitchen. Why did she always feel like everything was under Zuo Hanchengs control? However, he couldn¡¯t control his stomach problem just because he said so. He couldn¡¯t control Minister Qin either¡­ He was probably thinking too much. Anhao was making egg soup while listening to the commotion outside from time to time. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng had left the bedroom. When he looked at her when he woke up, she felt that if he had not been unable to do anything because of the pain in his stomach, he would have eaten her without hesitation. Anhao calmed herself down and prepared dinner for him. At the same time, she also prepared a portion for herself. When she finally came out with two bowls of noodles, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for her. However, he was sitting there reading the files he brought back from the company. The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the dining table was more brightly lit. After Anhao put down the two bowls of noodles, she turned around to turn on the lights in the living room. At the same time, she adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to warm it up a little before turning around and already past seven o¡¯clock. I only bought some noodles at the last minute today. 1 don¡¯t have any other ingredients, so 1 can only make noodles in a different way. It¡¯s better for you to eat a little than to hurt your stomach again. ¡± As she spoke, she sat opposite him. Seeing that he was still reading the dossiers, she held it in for a minute before suddenly reaching out to open the dossiers to the side. With an unfriendly expression, she ordered,¡±lf you don¡¯t eat it now, it¡¯ll be cold!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her.¡± Anhao was annoyed at the mention of this. She had planned to stay here with Zuo Hancheng in the afternoon to finalize the design plan. Who knew that he would be sleeping? She did not expect that she would fall asleep beside him. How could she remember anything about the design plan when she was in such a deep sleep? ¡°It¡¯s already so late. I¡¯ll modify the case according to the method you told me today and send it to your email. Help me take a look.¡±Anhao continued,¡± Remember that this is the condition you promised me. You promised to help me get the design finalized as soon as possible. You¡¯re not allowed to keep me in suspense, and you¡¯re not allowed to delay. I¡¯m not a student now. I¡¯m already working. Time is money!¡¯ ¡°My time is also money.¡± ¡°Do you really think I have that much time to look at your design drafts?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± ¡°Anyway, you¡¯ve already agreed to the conditions. You have to take some time to finalize my draft first. ¡°¡±It¡¯s not your style to go back on your word,¡± Anhao said as she ate her noodles.¡¯ Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± I¡¯m quite confident in my own abilities. As long as you don¡¯t make things difficult for me in the middle, Boss Zuo, I¡¯ll have a bright future in the design world in front of me. It¡¯ll be brilliant!¡± After saying that, she quickly ate a few more mouthfuls of noodles and said,¡±When I leave later, you don¡¯t have to send me off, and you don¡¯t have to specially send someone to send me off. The transportation here is so convenient. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but this is not the suburbs.¡± Zuo Hanchengs lips curved into a smile.¡¯ Anhao glanced at him.¡± ¡°The transportation is too convenient. There¡¯s no reason for you to stay.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled and looked at her meaningfully.¡±¡±I might need a midnight snack.¡¯ ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± Anhao snorted at him without giving him any face.¡± Everyone says that President Zuo is a rare handsome and talented person. Who knew that when President Zuo is shameless, no one can compare to him¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s sarcasm was merciless, but Zuo Hancheng looked at the time and said,¡±¡¯ Mobai will send the meeting documents over in fifteen minutes.¡± ¡± That¡¯s more like it.¡± Anhao snorted.¡± You¡¯ve barely managed to salvage your image that has fallen from the altar.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not comment on her words. He only looked at Anhao¡¯s long hair that was casually tied up.¡±Didn¡¯t you always clamor for a haircut back then? Why didn¡¯t you cut it when you had so much freedom in America?¡± Anhao picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth gently. She said calmly,¡±¡¯ see that Americans like to have long hair. I¡¯m just following the trend and haven¡¯t cut it.¡± As she spoke, there was a knock on the door. Anhao stood up.¡±It¡¯s Mobai? I¡¯ll open the door.¡± When she opened the door, she saw Mobai holding a document bag. However, there was another person standing beside him. Anhao turned to look at Wenner, who was standing behind Mobai, and her lips twitched.¡±¡±Since you¡¯re so free, why can¡¯t you cook a meal for the patients in the hospital during the day? You even called me over for some reason.¡± As she spoke, she opened the door completely and rolled her eyes at Mobai. Mobai rubbed his nose. He didn¡¯t expect to see Anhao here at this time. He gave Anhao a thoughtful look before walking in with the document bag.¡±President Zuo, the meeting documents are here. Chairman Wang of Ansheng said¡­¡± Hearing that Mobai was going to talk to Zuo Hancheng about the company, Anhao didn¡¯t follow him. She turned to look at Wenner, who whistled as soon as he entered and raised his eyebrows at the same time to look at her meaningfully. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for so long, and you didn¡¯t even say hello?¡±Wenner looked at her in amusement. Anhao suddenly pulled him in and looked outside again. Seeing that the door next door was closed and that Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran had not come out, she closed the door. Seeing her move, Wenner immediately said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Although you live here, you can count the number of times you¡¯ve come back to stay here in the past few years with ten fingers. The people next door don¡¯t even know who lives here. Mobai and I have already taken note of it when we came up, so you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± It sounded like Wenner knew that Zuo Hancheng was about to make a move on the Yi Clan. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything about this matter. She only changed the topic and said,¡±¡± Since you¡¯re here, stay and take care of your Mr. Zuo. I¡¯m leaving.¡¯¡± Wenner raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Mobai, on the other hand, turned around to look at Anhao when he heard her voice.¡±President Zuo is not in good health now. I¡¯ll send you.¡± Anhao replied and walked out of the door quickly without looking back. After Mobai delivered the things, he turned around and walked out quickly. Wenner closed the door and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was reading the meeting documents. He walked over and said,¡±¡±ls this the beginning of a gradual tightening of the net?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have heard Wenner¡¯s words. After glancing at the document in his hand, he placed it on the table and turned to look at the neon lights outside the window.. Chapter 611 - Chapter 611: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (1) Chapter 611: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had just arrived downstairs. Actually, she didn¡¯t want to trouble Mobai, but Mobai rushed down very quickly. ¡°Let me send you back.¡± Mobai followed behind her and sped up to overtake her. He walked to the car in front of her and opened the door. ¡°Thanks.¡± Since she was an old friend of Mobai¡¯s, Anhao didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and got into the car. After Mobai got into the car, he started the engine and drove off. Anhao sat in the front passenger seat and looked at the neon lights outside the window. Suddenly, she asked,¡±¡±Were you the one who called Minister Qin during the day?¡± When Mobai heard this, he immediately smiled.¡±¡±How did you guess?¡± There was no need to continue asking. From his tone, it was indeed him. If he was trying to hide something, his first reaction would definitely be to admit it first, not like this. ¡°Other than you, there¡¯s only Lin Qing. However, Lin Qing isn¡¯t as unreliable as you. He came to set me up without my consent.¡±Anhao complained as she glanced at him.¡±Are you and Lin Qing trying to matchmake me and Zuo Hancheng? You¡¯ve already been divorced for so long, and you haven¡¯t had much contact in the past few years. Even if you have some interactions now, there¡¯s no need for the two of you to be so¡­¡± ¡°This is not matchmaking.¡± Mobai smiled.¡± Anhao, you really can¡¯t tell. President Zuo actually¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s up with that Bai Weiwei?¡±Since they were talking about this, Anhao didn¡¯t directly respond to other matters. Instead, she directly asked back. Mobai steadily controlled the steering wheel and raised his eyebrows.¡±¡±Bai Weiwei?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about Deputy Director Bai of the Construction Bureau since I came back to China. 1 also heard that she is very close to Zuo Hancheng. For a person of Deputy Director Bai¡¯s status and Zuo Hanchengs status to have such blatant news, it can¡¯t be groundless. Before you set me up, did you not consider whether Zuo Hancheng and Deputy Director Bai had already been together?¡± Mobai suddenly glanced at her.¡± If we don¡¯t talk about Bai Weiwei, can¡¯t you feel that President Zuo¡¯s gaze has always been on you?¡±¡± Anhao paused. Without waiting for her to speak, Mobai smiled and said,¡±¡±Actually, you don¡¯t have to think about Bai Weiwei¡¯s problem. Her background is indeed very powerful, and her father is a very important central official in Beijing. Although her father wants President Zuo to be the son-in-law of the Bai family, President Zuo doesn¡¯t have much relationship with the Bai family. He only had some dealings with the Bai family when he went to Beijing for a business trip not long ago, but it was only in the business field.¡± Anhao turned to look at him.¡± ¡°Of course, Bai Weiwei is in love with President Zuo.¡±Mobai chuckled.¡± But President Zuo doesn¡¯t have any special feelings for Bai Weiwei. He and Bai Weiwei are polite and seem to have a good relationship. It¡¯s only because of the Bai family¡¯s elders.¡±¡± ¡± Bai Weiwei has a good family background. Although she likes President Zuo, she is also very competitive and also very proud. I can see that President Zuo is not interested in her, so she only communicated with him in business. In recent years, President Zuo has made a lot of achievements in the construction department, so there are more things between him and the Construction Bureau. Bai Weiwei has come to the company to see him a few times, but that is only because she is the leader of the Construction Bureau. They occasionally had dinner together in private because the Bai family¡¯s elders insisted on seeing him when they came to visit their daughter. That was why the media had taken photos of them sitting together for dinner a few times.¡± ¡°But I also admit that Bai Weiwei might not be without selfish motives, but at least President Zuo never looked at her twice.¡¯ After speaking, Mobai looked at Anhao, who hadn¡¯t said anything.¡±¡±Actually, you can ask President Zuo personally. I can see that it¡¯s not that you don¡¯t trust him, but that you¡¯ve been avoiding him.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just asking casually. Don¡¯t think too much.¡±Anhao turned to look outside the car window. ¡°Actually, Anhao, since you still care, why don¡¯t you try to go back?¡±¡± Perhaps everything is different from what you think,¡± Mobai said softly as he drove.¡± Or perhaps, the person you miss is also waiting for you, waiting for you to turn back.¡±¡± When the car stopped at the place Anhao had indicated, Anhao got out of the car and thanked Mobai before walking away quickly. Mobai sat in the car and looked at her back, sighing slightly. At this moment, Wenner¡¯s call came in. After hearing Wenner¡¯s question, Mobai sighed and smiled as he watched Anhao¡¯s back as she left. He said softly,¡±¡± Anhao is like a child who accidentally broke a beautiful vase three years ago. She clearly knows that she was wrong and feels guilty, but she doesn¡¯t dare to look back at everything because she knows that she made a mistake. She would rather turn those thorns into barbs and stab them into her own body than take another step forward.¡± After Wenner said something else, MobMobai laughed again. ¡°You¡¯re a psychologist. I can¡¯t handle this kind of thing.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t notice how long Mobai¡¯s car had been parked there. When she was walking home, she took advantage of the good weather today to wander around under the streetlights outside the neighborhood for a long time. Or perhaps, the person you miss is also waiting for you, waiting for you to turn back¡­ Gu Anhao, the only place you can go is by my side. Her mind was in a mess. In the end, she raised her hand and rubbed her forehead to calm herself down. Just as she was about to walk in, a blue Porsche suddenly drove over from the opposite side of the road. She didn¡¯t pay much attention at first, but the color was too eye-catching. She couldn¡¯t help but glance over. She turned around and saw that the car had stopped not far behind her. When she saw that it was MO Yunfei, whom she had disguised as Huang Amao to go on a blind date, she quickly turned her back to him, afraid that he would recognize her. Why was MO Yunfei here? Did they find out that Huang Amao was secretly staying at her place? So MO Yunfei was here to capture him? She quickly turned her back to MO Yunfei and took out her phone, wanting to send Huang Amao a text message to remind her to hide. However, as she was typing quickly on her phone, a cold and mocking voice came from behind.¡±Gu, An, okay?¡± Anhao felt a chill down her spine. She was surprised that she had been recognized. Then, she was surprised that he knew her name. The last time when she pretended to be Huang Amao and went on a blind date was exposed so quickly?! Before Anhao could finish sending the message, she gripped her phone tightly. She hesitated for a moment before turning around. She saw MO Yunfei with his hands in his pockets, looking at her with a cold smile. As soon as she met his gaze, Anhao knew that she might have misunderstood him. He wasn¡¯t here for Huang Amao¡­ He had come to look for her on purpose! Chapter 612 - Chapter 612: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (2) Chapter 612: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao turned around and looked at him seriously. Since she had already found out and could already call out her name, there was no need for her to pretend that she did not know him or run away. It was better to just face him head-on and counter his moves. ¡°You¡¯re quite straightforward. You dared to agree to my call.¡±Mo Yunfei sneered. Anhao¡¯s expression was calm.¡± You don¡¯t have the Gold and Silver Kings calabash in your hand. Why wouldn¡¯t I dare to answer your call?¡±¡± MO Yunfei was amused. He took his hand out of his pocket and walked towards her, but Anhao took a step back. MO Yunfei walked over nonchalantly and stood in front of her.¡±¡±Why are you hiding? How dare you pretend to be Huang Mao, that wretched girl, to go on a blind date with me, and even dress up like that to disgust me? Why don¡¯t you dare to look at me now?¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Anhao stepped back and said,¡± It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t dare to look at you directly. I¡¯m just not used to standing so close to someone I don¡¯t know. Young Master MO should know that it¡¯s very easy for others to misunderstand if you stand so close to me in front of our residential area. I have nothing to do with you, so there¡¯s no need for others to misunderstand, right?¡±¡¯ ¡® Hmph!¡± MO Yunfei snorted.¡± I saw you get out of my uncle¡¯s car just now. What¡¯s your relationship with him?¡±¡± Little uncle? Anhao looked at MO Yunfei in amazement.¡±¡±Mobai is your little uncle?¡± MO Yunfei raised an eyebrow.¡± This kind of problem of seniority caused by late marriage and late childbirth doesn¡¯t seem to be within the scope of our discussion. I¡¯m only asking what your relationship with him is.¡¯¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± It¡¯s nothing. We can be considered old friends.¡±¡± ¡°Do you know who Mobai is?¡± MO Yunfei narrowed his eyes. To be able to become old friends with him, you¡¯re really not simple.¡± Anhao suddenly glanced at him he the special assistant of the CEO of Shengling Group?¡± ¡°What¡¯s a special assistant? He meant the person most likely to become the vice president of Shengling Group. He¡¯s always so busy. How could he be friends with an unknown designer like vou? He could even Dersonallv send the car home? Are you sure you have nothing to do with him?¡± Anhao immediately looked at him as if he was crazy.¡±l even know the president of the United States. Would you believe me if I told you that I¡¯m related to the president of the United States?¡± MO Yunfei stared at her for a while, then laughed.¡±¡±Fine, your mouth is indeed powerful. Otherwise, Huang Mao wouldn¡¯t have stuffed you here. Since you¡¯ve already forced her to me, shouldn¡¯t you give me an explanation?¡± Anhao lost her patience at the mention of can talk to Huang Mao about this. I only promised to help her this once. She will be responsible for all the consequences. I don¡¯t care. If you really want to settle the score, look for her.¡¯ She was about to pick up her phone. MO Yunfei raised his eyebrows. Just as Anhao was about to make a call, he suddenly reached out and snatched her phone, He glanced at it and turned it off. Anhao was surprised by his actions and watched as he turned off her phone. She quickly reached out to grab it, but he took a step back and raised her phone at the same time with a teasing smile in his eyes.¡±You were the one who went on a blind date with me. I¡¯m here to settle scores with you today.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re sick, go home and take your medicine. Why are you making a scene here at night? 1 had nothing to do with what happened between the MO and Huang families. I had no choice but to agree to go on a blind date because of Huang Mao¡¯s begging. I regretted doing such a childish thing in the future, but it has been so many days, and you haven¡¯t lost a single piece of meat. Send the phone to my! MO Yunfei continued to take a step back. Anhao was already feeling a little stifled. Seeing that this kid was deliberately causing trouble for her, she was so angry that she reached out to snatch it again. In the end, she realized that she had followed him to the car door and realized that something was wrong. He was luring her into the car! She quickly took a step back and stopped pestering him. She turned around and walked towards the security room in front of the community gate, ready to ask them to help call the police. Upon seeing her turn around and the direction she was heading, MO Yunfei only wanted to help Huang Mao go on a blind date, but you didn¡¯t care about my feelings? As a man, he was deceived by you guys and even went around looking for you every day as if he was possessed. Do you know what kind of f * cking feeling this is?¡± MO Yunfei cursed and Anhao stopped in her tracks. In the blink of an eye, he had already put down his hand. After all, it was indeed her and Huang Amao¡¯s fault for the blind date. No matter how dirty this kid was outside, they had indeed lied about the blind date. After all, the blind date was not just between the two of them. There were also the parents of the two families. This kind of deception was indeed not advisable. She turned around and walked over. She reached out to take the phone from his hand and said,¡±Forget it, I won¡¯t hold it against you. You should talk to Huang Mao about the blind date. If you need to apologize, you can tell her yourself. I don¡¯t want to get involved in the matter between your two families. Also, l¡­ Before she could finish her sentence, her hand had already touched the phone. However, MO Yunfei suddenly pulled his hand back. Anhao didn¡¯t expect that he actually didn¡¯t intend to return it to her. For a moment, he didn¡¯t stand firm. He stumbled forward on the roadside and almost fell into the car behind him. As soon as she steadied herself, MO Yunfei pushed her in. Anhao was shocked, but she had already fallen into the car. At the same time, her vision blurred. MO Yunfei had already sat in the car at an extremely fast speed and leaned against her, closing the door behind him. There was no one else in the car. Anhao sat up and looked at him cautiously. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°l parked my car here in the middle of the night and waited for you to come back. I waited for two hours.¡±Mo Yunfei snorted and reached behind her with one hand while pulling open the collar of his shirt with the other. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Anhao¡¯s face up close in the dim light.¡±The first time I saw you, you were drunk and kept your head down. I didn¡¯t get a good look at you. The last time, you were dressed too unfashionably, so I didn¡¯t take a good look. Now that I look at you, you¡¯re indeed quite beautiful. How ugly is Huang Mao to push you out?¡± Anhao stepped back a little to avoid him. At the same time, she was paying attention to whether the internal lock in the car was closed. She moved her body backward bit by bit and replied alertly, ¡°There are so many street lamps around here. People passing by in front can easily see the situation in the car.. I¡¯m warning you not to mess around!¡± Chapter 613 - Chapter 613: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (3) Chapter 613: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Of course I won¡¯t do anything stupid.¡± MO Yunfei¡¯s hand reached out and grabbed her shoulder as she retreated. Anhao suddenly froze. She looked down at his hand on her shoulder and frowned. She looked up at him and said,¡±Young Master MO, seeing that your family and Huang Mao¡¯s family are old friends, I don¡¯t want to have a conflict with you. Huang Mao was forced by her parents to go on the blind date, so she had no choice but to ask me to help her deal with it. Since it¡¯s just a meeting and a meal, you don¡¯t have to deliberately ask for a price!¡± ¡°I¡¯m really here today to ask you for a price! ¡°Mo Yunfei grabbed her shoulder and suddenly got up, wanting to kiss her forcefully. Just as he was about to do that, Anhao suddenly leaned back and opened the car door with her backhand. At the same time, she raised her leg and kicked his leg hard. MO Yunfei didn¡¯t expect a beautiful and slender woman like her to be so agile. He froze in pain when he was kicked in the thigh. Anhao took the opportunity to shake off his hand on her shoulder and quickly jumped out of the car from the open door with the force of the kick. ¡°You¡­¡± MO Yunfei looked up from the car and saw her agile movements.¡±¡±Are you a woman or not? Why is your kick so ruthless? Anhao really wanted to say that if it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the Huang family and the MO family were aristocratic families, she wouldn¡¯t have kicked his manhood, he would have been lucky! ¡°Are you a man or not? Just pretending to be on a blind date made you stop at my door in the middle of the night? Let me tell you, MO Yunfei, this is a lawful society. Don¡¯t think that just because you fancy a girl, she will be at your mercy and even accept your perverted intimacy! ¡± ¡°I¡¯m a pervert?¡± MO Yunfei was furious and pointed at her.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, stop right there. I¡¯ll talk to you about what a pervert is!¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. Before he could rush out of the car because his legs were numb from the kick, she slammed the car door shut. MO Yunfei¡¯s face, which was locked in the car, was instantly twisted by the car window. He stared at her angrily. Before he could open the car door, Anhao turned around and rushed back to the neighborhood. When she passed by the security room, she casually heard that recently, there are many criminals in A City who will pretend to be rich young masters. You must be careful.¡± The security guard looked at him in confusion, then looked at the car outside. After thinking for a long time, he slowly nodded. When Anhao got home, she was going to settle the score with Huang Amao. However, Huang Amao wasn¡¯t at home, so she noticed that there were unread messages on her phone. It turned out that Huang Amao¡¯s parents had found out that Anhao was living here recently and warned her to go home immediately. She didn¡¯t want Anhao¡¯s place to be in chaos, so she was going to go home today to apologize. Anhao looked at the text message and her anger gradually subsided. She held the phone for a long time before replying with a few quarrel. Have a good chat with your parents.¡± She was still suppressing her anger to comfort Huang Amao. Who would comfort her now? Even if Anhao knew kung fu, her heart was still beating wildly when she was pushed into the car by a man she wasn¡¯t familiar with in the middle of the night. She threw her bag aside and leaned on the sofa. She raised her hand to her chest and let out a long breath. This MO Yunfei and Rong Qian were the same, If the soft approach didn¡¯t work, she would use force. Why did she feel like she was surrounded by scumbags? After calming down for a while, she turned on her computer and looked at her email. There was a message from Mr. V. It was sent half an hour ago. Mr. V,¡±Any breakthrough insights on digital passwords?¡±¡® Anhao Mo¡­ She had been in a lot of trouble today, so she didn¡¯t have the time to think about the password. However, she was short of money now. Mr. V was like her main source of income. She really did not know how to answer such a difficult question. She just rested her chin on her hand and stared at the screen. Her mind was filled with what Zuo Hancheng had said to her today. After a long time, she looked at the computer screen hesitantly and asked back. Anhao replied,¡±Mr. V, before 1 solve the password, can I ask you some questions that only men can understand?¡±¡® Mr. V was speechless. He only sent a question mark, but he replied quickly. This was already equivalent to chatting online with the underling. Anhao laughed, thought for a while, and continued,¡±¡®A man will always love a woman. That woman must be exceptionally outstanding and beautiful, right?¡¯ This time, there was no immediate reply. However, Anhao somehow felt that Mr. V was thinking about her problem and didn¡¯t leave the computer. So she continued to type,¡¯ls my question very abrupt? It¡¯s so late and I¡¯m disturbing you. You can actually treat it as me understanding the relationship between you and your wife before designing the interior of the villa for you. Hmm¡­lf it¡¯s not convenient, then it doesn¡¯t matter. In fact, it¡¯s true that my words are a little too much.¡¯ Mr. V finally replied, ¡®What is the definition of beauty?¡¯ Anhao continued to stare at the screen in a daze. After thinking for a long time, she sorry, I¡¯m actually very confused. At least, I¡¯m the kind of person who would cause trouble for you and drag you down. At the very least, my family background should be similar to yours¡­¡¯ Mr. V: ¡®My wife is very cute. She has a clear distinction between love and hate. No matter what she looks like, in my eyes, everything about her is beautiful.¡¯ Anhao immediately took a deep breath with an envious expression.¡±¡± Is it the kind of beauty where a person is treated like dirt in the eyes of others, but is forever like a pearl or a treasure in your eyes?¡¯ Mr. V: ¡®She¡¯s also very good in other people¡¯s eyes, but she hasn¡¯t put her heart into it. If she has such thoughts, it seems that I haven¡¯t done well enough.¡¯ Anhao didn¡¯t type anymore. Instead, she looked at the screen quietly. For some reason, she felt that Mr. V was a very cold and quiet person, but he seemed to be patient with her. She did not know why she wanted to talk so much to this stranger who had barely spoken to her. She had never liked to tell anyone what was on her mind. She was like that in the past and still was. ¡°I¡¯ll go to your villa this weekend to take measurements, and then arrange for workers to go over and officially arrange the measurements. After the measurements are done, I¡¯ll contact you regarding the details of the design proposal. Mr. V, if you have time, try to check your email and phone as much as possible so that you don¡¯t miss the news.¡± Mr.. V: Chapter 614 - Chapter 614: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (4) Chapter 614: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao thanked Mr. V and said that she would find a friend to figure out the password as soon as possible. Then, she turned off the computer. Her restless heart suddenly felt much calmer. After taking a shower, she fell into bed, but Zuo Hanchengs words still rang in her ears. ¡°The only place you can go is by my side.¡± On the weekend two days later, Anhao asked Mobai about the specific route to the resort and took two bus stops to the resort. She had coincidentally seen the blueprint of the resort when she was at Zuo Hanchengs place, so she went straight to the residential area for sale. She found that there were only about twenty villas here, but they were expensive. Moreover, the buildings developed by Shengling Group had always been difficult to get a house. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy one. Therefore, Mr. V must be a very famous, rich, and powerful person. If he could make Zuo Hancheng sell him the villa that was closest to the beach out of the twenty or so villas, he must be a very important person. Anhao regretted it when she thought about how she had discussed such a delicate topic with such a mysterious and powerful person. She decided not to discuss such a topic with Mr. V again. Mr. V probably still thought that she was the kind of little girl who was hurt and disturbed by love and could not extricate herself. Actually, that day, she was just¡­Yes, his brain twitched for a moment. After explaining her purpose of visit to the security guards and the property management and showing her identification, Anhao was allowed to walk in. When she arrived at Mr. V¡¯s villa, she realized that even though the villa was unoccupied, the surrounding environment was clean as if someone had been cleaning it for a long time after buying it. This method of cleaning was different from the usual rational cleaning of the property management. Because the door was spotless, the property management would not clean the doors and windows of the villas one by one. She then walked to the side of the sea. The back door and the surrounding floor-to-ceiling glass windows showed the unfinished interior structure. Mobai had sent her a copy of the structure before, so she had a rough idea of the size. Now, she only needed to sort out the dimensions in detail. However, she was suddenly attracted by the sound of the waves behind her. Although City A was a coastal city, many of the seaside were trading docks. Not many people had the financial resources to contract a coastal resort project. Shengling Group¡¯s wealth and boldness had long shocked the world, but Anhao did not expect that the villa facing the beach and the vast ocean looked like the Santa Monica Beach in the United States from this angle. Was it because he had not seen the sea for too long that he had this illusion? She took another look at the fine white sand on the beach, which was rare in China. She resisted the desire to leave a trail of footprints on the beach, took the key and access card, and went straight into the villa. The villa was very big, not as small as Mobai had described. Just by looking around, the first, second, and third floors added up to at least four to five hundred square meters. For her to design such a large project alone, 50,000 yuan was indeed not a small amount, but it was not a lot either. She finally felt a little more at ease. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have been able to feel down-to-earth when a pie fell from the sky. She had rushed over in the morning and had not finished measuring the villa¡¯s size by two in the afternoon. In the end, Ann was so tired that she simply went out and crossed the white fence behind the villa. She went to the beach to sit for a while, There was a swing on the beach next to the villa area. She got up and sat on the swing to rest. Then, she took out the map that she had just measured and sorted out the size of the top two floors in detail. It seemed that if he wanted to finish measuring the entire villa without too much error, he would have to do it at least tomorrow. She had planned to revise the design tomorrow and then go to Shengling Group to look for Zuo Hancheng on Monday. Anhao sighed. She sat on the swing and looked around with her eyes narrowed under the warm sunlight. Zuo Hancheng was indeed a person with unique vision. A City was a prosperous city, and most of the seaside was industrial. However, this sea area was as beautiful as a fairyland. When they developed this place, they must have invested a lot of money. In such a beautiful place, not to mention the villa could be sold for a good price, even when the resort was officially opened to the public, it would definitely be full every day. It would not be long before the investment would be recovered and they would continue to earn money. She looked at the blue sea in front of her and then turned back to look at Mr. V¡¯s villa. Mr. V said that this villa was waiting for his wife¡¯s return. What kind of woman was his wife that he loved so much? In fact, he even said that his wife was the only one who was beautiful. Anhao fell asleep not long after she sat on the swing by the sea. In the end, she was woken up by the sea breeze. When she suddenly opened her eyes, she realized that it was already evening. She sneezed and quickly got up to go back to the villa. As she continued measuring, she paid attention to the structure of the rooms on the second floor. After thinking for a while, she sent a text message to Mr. ¡± Mr. V, are you planning to turn the second floor into a study or a lounge? I¡¯ve seen some large villa designs before. The owners of the houses have requested to set up a few study rooms, offices, and reception rooms on each floor to facilitate the reception of some important guests. However, you said that this house is reserved for the wife. Do you need to arrange those work-related areas?¡¯ After sending it, she did not continue to wait. After all, Mr. V was probably busy at this time. Sure enough, after she went downstairs to take her measurements for a while, Nir. V replied to her via text after about half an hour. ¡°The children¡¯s room.¡¯ Anhao stared at the three words ¡®Kid¡¯s room¡¯ for a while before she slowly typed a reply.¡¯Alright.¡¯ There was no longer any response from the other end. She stood at the place on the second floor that was going to be designed as a children¡¯s room for a long time, then stood by the window and looked out. The sky gradually darkened, and all kinds of silver-white lights fell from the trees in the villa area. There were also some hidden lights on the beach that could not be seen during the day, forming a beautiful coastline. The night lights here were also very beautiful. Anhao decided to come back tomorrow morning to continue measuring. She looked out of the window on the second floor for a while, then turned around and went downstairs. When they walked out of the villa area, they suddenly realized that there were many headlights outside the resort. A tall figure was surrounded by a few staff members in suits as they walked towards the main entrance of the resort. Anhao narrowed her eyes. Zuo Hancheng? Why did he suddenly appear here so late at night? Chapter 615 - Chapter 615: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (5) Chapter 615: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (5) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng did not come to the villa area. Anhao knew how serious he was about his work and often did it himself. But now that he came to the resort at this time, she had to suspect that it was a coincidence. However, when she saw him walking towards the resort, and there seemed to be a lot of people around, it seemed that there was an impromptu meeting on the spot. It was not convenient for her to go over. Hence, Anhao took advantage of the crowd and went to the security office of the villa area to ask Mr. V about the renovation permit for the villa. However, the security guard looked her up and down.¡±The resort is about to open for trial operation and is open to the public. The villa area can¡¯t have any industrial pollution for the first half of the year, so no renovation is allowed for the first half of the year.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze.¡± Renovations are not allowed within half a year?¡±¡± The security guard looked at her a few more times before saying,¡±l wanted to remind you when you came in and said that you wanted to take a ruler, but I saw that you were quite professional. I thought that you were an employee of one of the big renovation companies in the city. I thought that you knew that renovation couldn¡¯t start here recently and just came over to take a ruler in advance, so I didn¡¯t stop you.¡± Anhao was puzzled. There is no conflict between the resort and this place. Do all the owners in the villa area know about your overbearing terms? Did they agree?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, miss. Don¡¯t lose your temper first.¡±¡±Maybe the owner who contacted you didn¡¯t come here recently, so he didn¡¯t notice our text message.¡± The security guard said apologetically. After all, this was the area of the resort, a tourist area. When these villas were sold to foreign beasts, the contract had already stated that if there were any changes to the resort, as long as it did not affect the owner¡¯s normal assets and interests, they had to comply. The property in the tourist area had its own rules, which was something that the owners knew when they bought the property.¡± This was clearly an overbearing clause! These villas could still be sold at a high price. Did Zuo Hancheng drug these owners? Anhao turned around and looked at the environment in the villa area.¡±¡±Half of the people here have already moved in, and the other half of the houses have either been renovated and haven¡¯t moved in yet or haven¡¯t started construction vet. After buying the house. they could renovate it whenever they wanted. For some reason, they did not allow others to renovate it and delayed the owner¡¯s time to move in. Wasn¡¯t this affecting the owner¡¯s normal assets and interests? Why should they obey?¡± The security guard did not understand her anger.¡±Miss, you¡¯re just a designer and not the owner of this place. There¡¯s no need to be so angry. Besides, whether you can move in on time is also the owner¡¯s business. We¡¯ll talk to the owner of the house you went to today later.¡± Anhao sneered. However, her heart was already jumping around like ants on a hot pan. She thought that she was about to get the 50,000 yuan, but she still had to delay it for half a year. Was there still a need for her to take on this design job? In half a year¡¯s time, Zheng F P S project would be almost completed, and her remaining payment would arrive. Of course, she would not be in a hurry to use the money. Now was the time to use money. This 50,000 yuan could instantly solve her urgent needs, but now he was telling her that she could not start construction for half a year. If she couldn¡¯t start work, it meant that she didn¡¯t have to rush to design it, and the money wouldn¡¯t be transferred too early. Then wouldn¡¯t she have wasted her time? ¡± What do you mean? The resort is about to open for business, so we have to wait until the trial is over before we can continue with the renovation?¡± The security guard still smiled apologetically and politely.¡±Yes, the construction of the resort has been completed for a long time. We have been repairing the interior structure. Now that we are finally opening it to the public and opening it for trial operation, such a large tourism project is of course a top priority. We actually only have about twenty villas here. Most of the owners have already received the notice and are willing to cooperate with the purification work of the resort. We¡¯ve really never contacted the owner of that house. It¡¯s always been his subordinates who help take care of it. When you came today, we were quite curious¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you can contact the owner of the house. I¡¯ll communicate with them later. You just need to tell me clearly now. If 1 want to start the renovation of the villa as soon as possible, is there any way? When would the resort start its trial operation? Was it just these few days? Couldn¡¯t he wait a little longer? It¡¯s not the summer vacation season now, so there¡¯s no need to rush¡­ ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to tell us.¡±The security guard smiled.¡± It¡¯s just a trial opening anyway. By the time we forget about the summer vacation, it will definitely be the official opening period. Moreover, these things are decided by the developer and the investor, Shengling Group.¡± ¡°Miss, if you really want to change the trial opening time of the resort, you can negotiate with the developer or ask the investor for an explanation. Oh right, didn¡¯t President Zuo of Shengling Group arrive just now? It was rare for President Zuo to come here personally during the opening period. He was probably checking the safety factors of various entertainment facilities at the resort. ¡± ¡°If you have the ability, go and find President Zuo yourself and see if he can make an exception. After all, we¡¯re just security guards.¡± Anhao saw the security guard¡¯s polite expression, but in fact, his eyes seemed to be provoking her. If you have the ability, go and reason with the investors yourself. If you have the ability, go and find President Zuo. Let¡¯s see if you dare to say that we are overbearing in front of President Zuo. She suddenly raised her hand and placed it on a chair next to the security room. The security guard looked at her in confusion because of her action, but he saw that the chair was suddenly lifted by her hand and fell in front of them at a terrifying speed. The corner of the chair almost hit their legs, scaring the security guards inside and making them take a step back. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can shirk responsibility just because you said that. Even if I don¡¯t go to your investors, I¡¯ll report it to the relevant authorities. You¡¯ll still have a good time!¡± The security guards realized that the girl in front of them didn¡¯t seem to be easy to deal with. One of them, who looked older and steadier, stood up and said is really not something that we security guards can control. The property management has already informed us, and we¡¯re just informing you. If you really don¡¯t agree with this arrangement, you can go and ask President Zuo yourself..¡± Chapter 616 - Chapter 616: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (6) Chapter 616: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Is this the attitude of your property management? Do you believe that I will report it to the higher-ups?¡± If Anhao wanted to go find Zuo Hancheng, why would she bother with them? The security guards looked at each other, then looked at Anhao. nyou can report it at any time. Our property management has indeed signed a contract with the owner when they bought the villa here. After all, the tourist area is special. If you want to buy a house in the tourist area, you must abide by the terms here. If you¡¯re really dissatisfied, you can only go to the higher-ups.¡± Anhao frowned. It was useless to reason with these security guards now. She had only come to casually ask about the renovation permit, but now she had been rejected. Didn¡¯t Mr. V know about the overlord clause here? Or did Mr. V not know that the resort was about to open for business and thought that it could be renovated normally? The most important problem now was that she had finally put all her heart and soul into this job and wanted to earn the 50,000 yuan as soon as possible. However, Zuo Hancheng had obstructed her in the middle. This kind of heavily invested resort was definitely not a joke, so he would not deliberately use this kind of thing to trick her. But this was too coincidental! Should he just endure this unfortunate thing and wait until half a year later to earn the 50,000 yuan, or should he really ask Zuo Hancheng if he could postpone the trial operation for the 50,000 yuan? It was already June. If the trial opening was delayed by half a month, she would use half a month to finalize the design plan and get her money. When the renovation would be done, it would be up to Mr. V and the renovation company. As a designer, her work could be completed within half a month. If he couldn¡¯t give her half a month, a week would do! At the thought of this, Anhao walked out of the villa area and looked in the direction of the resort. Because of Zuo Hanchengs arrival, the already brightly lit places were much brighter. It was obvious that many non-decorative lights had been turned on to give Zuo Hancheng a clearer view when he was inspecting the various places. After hesitating for a long time, Anhao walked over to the resort. Outside the resort, Lin Qing was talking to a few staff members who were holding documents and a name list. When Anhao walked over, someone stopped her, ¡°¡®I¡¯m sorry, Miss. The resort is not officially open to the public today. Non-staff are not allowed to enter.¡¯ Just as Anhao was about to speak, Lin Qing glanced over when he heard her voice. The moment he saw Anhao, he walked towards her.¡±Anhao? Why are you here?¡± Anhao smiled and took advantage of the fact that the few people who stopped her had already retreated to the side. She walked over and said,¡±¡±Can I go in?¡± She did not want to explain too much to Lin Qing. Anyway, if she could enter, she would see if it was convenient for her to talk to Zuo Hancheng. Lin Qing smiled.¡± Of course, of course you can come in. But it¡¯s already so late. What are you doing?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Lin Qings voice paused. He could tell that Anhao didn¡¯t want to explain too much to him, but when he remembered that President Zuo was also inside, he understood. He took out a work pass and handed it to Anhao.¡±Put this on and go in. No one will stop you.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± Anhao took the work pass and put it on her chest with familiarity. She then gave Lin Qing a grateful look and walked in. Initially, Anhao did not know where Zuo Hancheng was at the moment. However, she heard some movement in front of her. The place with the brightest lights was near the entertainment facility in the middle. She quickly walked over and thought about how she should bring this up later. If she asked Zuo Hancheng to delay the opening ceremony of such a large tourism project for a few days just for the 50,000 yuan, it would seem a little too much. Moreover, this matter also had the participation of the government¡¯s tourism department. It was not something that Zuo Hancheng could agree to just because he wanted to. However, on one hand, she was selfish. On the other hand, she wanted to suggest that they shorten the trial opening period by half a month, so that the traffic would not be too scattered when they officially opened during the summer vacation. She did not know if this excuse would work, and she did not know if Zuo Hancheng had the time to see her now. As they were walking, they suddenly saw a crowd in front of them. There were quite a number of people there, and they could guess where Zuo Hancheng was when they saw the familiar sight of a crowd. As he walked further, he saw a familiar figure standing among the crowd. Beside him, a staff member was explaining the safety system and functions of the entertainment facilities in detail. The people around him were also listening carefully. It looked like a leader visiting the people for an investigation. Anhao took two deep breaths and repeatedly considered whether she should go over or not. Was there a need to be so thick-skinned to look for Zuo Hancheng for 50,000 yuan? After all, it was her 50,000 yuan. Other people might be able to drink 50,000 yuan from two bottles of wine, but this 50,000 yuan was her living expenses for the next six months. After all, she was the director of the renovation project design office in the government. If she had to borrow money from others for living expenses for the past six months, she would be humiliated. Fifty thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars¡­ Anhao tried her best to brainwash herself, and finally braced herself to get closer. Anhao did not hear what the staff member beside Zuo Hancheng was saying. She only knew that when she walked into the crowd, Zuo Hancheng happened to turn around and was about to ask the staff members who came with him to take a test. In the end, he saw Anhao in the blink of an eye. At first, he didn¡¯t seem to notice her as he turned his head around immediately. Then, he suddenly turned around again and his gaze fell on her face. Anhao felt her spine tighten under his sudden stare. Although she had brainwashed herself for a long time, she was still hesitating whether she should really talk to this big BOSS about the villa renovation. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill. Therefore, he did not know what to say for a moment. He just treated it as a chance encounter. This was too deliberate¡­ However, what shocked her even more was that Zuo Hancheng walked straight towards her. Anhao¡¯s expression was tense, and she did not know if she had been too impulsive because she had lost her mind in anger. Zuo Hancheng walked up to her and looked down at her. He said in a low voice,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± Anhao was silent for a moment before she moved her lips. The words and thoughts that she had prepared just now were still not very reasonable, so she was too embarrassed to say them. However, he asked her in front of so many people, and she took the initiative to come over. It seemed that it would be unreasonable if she did not say something. Taking advantage of the fact that the people around them were deliberately led by Mobai to the other side of the entertainment facilities, Anhao inhaled and exhaled, then inhaled and exhaled again. In the end, she found a random excuse.¡±No, it¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen you for many days. It¡¯s a little¡­ Well¡­ I miss you a little.¡± After saying that, Anhao almost bit off her own tongue. She even choked on her own breath and lost her breath! Gu Anhao, are you really out of your mind? You clearly didn¡¯t want to say that! Chapter 617 - Chapter 617: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (7) Chapter 617: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (7) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng looked at her silently for a long time, as if he was examining the authenticity of her words. ¡°You only remembered me after so many days?¡±Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Hmm?¡± Anhao could clearly hear the ridicule in his words. She really wanted to slap herself to death. She laughed dryly and said,¡±l misspoke just now. Actually, what I meant was that I haven¡¯t contacted you since 1 left your place last time. How¡¯s your stomach problem? Have you taken your medicine¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored the people behind him who were still curiously looking back at him even though they had walked far away. He stood in front of her under the brightest lights in the resort, as if he could see through her in an instant. His lips curled up slightly, and his black eyes reflected her desire to turn around and run away immediately. ¡°You don¡¯t miss me?¡± He seemed to have ignored the sentence she had just added and only asked her back. ¡°..¡±Anhao felt as if her temples were throbbing in anger at her sudden stupidity. She clenched her fists, which were hidden in the sleeves of her sunblock jacket, and let out a long breath to calm herself down. She decided to be shameless to the end for the fifty thousand yuan. Since she had already said the opposite, she might as well say,¡±¡±Ah, yes.¡± ¡°Miss me what? Since you miss me so much, why didn¡¯t you call me for so many days?¡± Anhao¡¯s temples were throbbing so hard that they were about to explode. The more silent she was, the deeper Zuo Hanchengs smile became. He lowered his head slightly to her ear and asked seriously,¡±¡±What problem do you want me to help you solve?¡± Anhao immediately turned around and looked at him for a long time, speechless. Did this man tell that she had come with a motive from the moment she appeared in the crowd? Then why was he teasing her now?! Since she had already said it out loud, she did not hide it anymore and said directly,¡±Have you announced the time of the trial opening of your resort to the public?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything at first, as if he was quietly digesting the fact that she had indeed come with a purpose. Then, he looked at her indifferently and wrong?¡± ¡°Can you postpone the trial opening hours for a few days? He asked me to get a few workers to accompany me to the villa area to form a precise queue. After the owner of the house I have decided on has confirmed my design, you can start the trial operation here. Hmm¡­lt definitely won¡¯t be more than half a month!¡± Zuo Hanchengs brows furrowed as he stared at her. Seeing his gaze, Anhao raised her hand and stretched out a said,¡±¡±What¡¯s it¡¯s really inappropriate, a week is fine,¡± ¡°The reason?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were concise, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry from his current expression. Anhao slowly put down her hand. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know how to answer. Previously, she had vowed that she would return the fees for the past few years to him as soon as possible. If he knew that she was so short of money that she had to take on private jobs, and now she was using this method to ask him to give her a chance to take on private jobs, it would really not feel good! ¡°Anyway, Mobi has already told you that I took on an interior design job in the villa area next door. The salary is not bad. I can definitely get the owner of the house to confirm the design draft in a week. As long as he passes it, I won¡¯t have anything to do with him.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was still looking at her without saying anything, Anhao knew that her request was not very reasonable. If he hadn¡¯t exposed her just now, she probably wouldn¡¯t have made such a request until she left. ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work¡­¡± She used a way to make up for it and said,¡± Just make an exception and let the car of the platoon workers I¡¯ll call in a few days go in. Don¡¯t let those security guards stop us because of your rules and regulations. Let us go in and line up. We must try our best not to create any industrial pollution and not affect the air environment of the resort during the trial operation. What do you think?¡± ¡°Before the formal layout and design of a villa, it is inevitable that there will be some slight signs of chiseling on the walls. Firstly, there will be noise. Secondly, the workers ¡®car exhaust will cause disturbance. Thirdly, there will be some industrial pollution when the rough houses are lined up. You have to use various colors to mark the size on the walls and so on. Although it is not serious, the political forces are using the banner of a¡¯ polluted sea scenic spot to wash the lungs ¡®in the resort. Once someone with a serious personality or a business-minded opponent sneaked in and took the air index measuring device for a walk, do you know what the consequences would be?¡± Anhao lowered her eyes and said,¡± Maybe my request is really unreasonable. 1 did consider whether to say it just now. Actually, I was also angry with the security guard just now. I was impulsive and shouldn¡¯t have made such a request. I¡¯m sorry.¡±¡± However, she had clearly admitted her irrationality and apologized sincerely, yet Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a hint of displeasure.¡±¡±The news of the trial operation will only be officially released tomorrow morning. You still have the opportunity to make a request to me. It is absolutely impossible to start construction during the opening period, but the request to delay the trial operation for a few days will be more troublesome.¡± Anhao suddenly looked up at him.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a half-smile.¡±I¡¯m just considering it.¡± What he meant was that he should have some request¡­ However, she seemed to have seen through his intentions from his eyes. A few days ago, she stayed behind to make dinner and put on airs in front of him to make a request. He was just returning the favor. She knew that Zuo Hancheng would never let anyone take advantage of him. So she quietly waited for him to make his request, but he just stood under the light and looked down at her. Anhao didn¡¯t know what he was thinking, but every time she met his gaze, she felt like she had accidentally fallen into a huge net. This feeling wasn¡¯t good. ¡°If you have any requests, as long as I can do it, and it¡¯s not too much, and it¡¯s worth it compared to my design income, I¡¯ll definitely do it.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t stand the silence and his deep gaze, so she decided to speak first, wanting to end this suffocating situation ahead of time. The people who were inspecting the entertainment facilities behind her were discussing something, and the discussion was particularly intense. Zuo Hancheng heard the sound and looked behind him. When he turned back, he glanced at her indifferently. ¡°l haven¡¯t decided yet. I¡¯ll only give you a week. During this week, you¡¯ll be on standby.¡± Zuo Hanchengs gaze fell on the ends of her hair, which were fluttering in the wind by the sea. His dark eyes were unreadable.. Chapter 618 - Chapter 618: Zuo Hancheng’s Conditions (8) Chapter 618: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Conditions (8) Translator: 549690339 And on standby? Why didn¡¯t you tell me to follow behind you and be on standby? Seeing Zuo Hanchengs attitude, which clearly showed that he would not let her off so easily, Anhao rolled her eyes secretly and said only asking for your help at the last minute. The conditions are fine, but don¡¯t go too far.¡¯ ¡°l didn¡¯t even mention the conditions. How do you know if it¡¯s too much or not?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her. Anhao did not answer him directly. She turned around and looked in the direction of the villa complex. ¡°Then take your time to think about it. Tomorrow is the weekend. Can I send some workers over to do the precision sizing?¡± ¡°Sure. In terms of time and the amount of work, pay attention to your own limits.¡¯ Anhao turned around and looked at him.¡± 1 will. I¡¯ll definitely settle the matter at hand as soon as possible. I¡¯ll try my best not to delay your time.¡± After all, President Zuo, you¡¯ve given me so much face. The trial opening of the resort was delayed just like that. I can¡¯t delay it for too long.¡± Zuo Hanchengs lips curled into a faint smile.¡±¡± It¡¯s fine if you know, but the time limit for you to be given is no more than a week. After all, this is a city that the government is also involved in recently. You should know very well how important the tourism industry of coastal industrial cities is. This is not a child¡¯s play.¡± ¡°l know.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try my best.¡± Anhao nodded. ¡°A week?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°One week!¡± Anhao said seriously. Zuo Hancheng looked at her for a moment before he smiled and said,¡±¡±Remember to be on standby at any time during this week. I don¡¯t like people who go back on their words after making conditions.¡± As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture to answer the phone. He meant that she should not turn off her phone for the next few days and be ready to receive his life-threatening calls at any time. Anhao suddenlv felt a little regretful. For the sake of 50.000 vuan. she had out down her face and allowed Zuo Hancheng to raise his conditions without saying a word. Did the sea breeze this afternoon make her brain water? Was that why she was so stupid? However, she somehow felt that Zuo Hancheng was waiting for her here! He said that he hadn¡¯t thought about it yet, but why did she feel that he had already thought about it long ago? Otherwise, how could he be so perfect to squeeze her for a week? For the sake of the 50,000 yuan, she had to be busy with the political work, the layout of Mr. Vi s villa, and the preliminary series of designs. She also had to listen to Zuo Hanchengs instructions without complaint. How did she inexplicably turn from a person who made a request to a moron who was aggrieved and stood at this moment to sign an unfair treaty! This instantaneous change was too mystical! It was so unreal that she was very suspicious if Zuo Hancheng was playing a trick on her. Anhao still felt that she had suffered too much in this matter. She hesitated and wanted to give up on the idea of going to the platoon. However, Zuo Hancheng had already walked far away. He was standing near the entertainment facilities in front of them, watching the staff operating the entertainment facilities seriously and checking the safety of the facilities. Anhao suddenly had a headache. She lowered her head and saw that her phone was about to run out of battery. She started to feel nervous for some reason. When she looked up again, she saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of her. Although it was a little far, she could at least see his back. She was right behind him. So what if her phone ran out of battery? Are you nervous now? Gu Anhao, are you a masochist? How could he agree to such an unfair treaty? ¡°Anhao.¡¯ Anhao stood still and wondered if she should just settle this matter like this. After all, there was still one night before the resort officially announced its trial opening tomorrow morning, and that 50,000 yuan¡­ If he really wanted to throw away his principles for the sake of fifty thousand yuan, he had promised himself that he had grown up over the years and that he would keep a distance from Zuo Hancheng. But what was going on now? For some inexplicable reason, he felt that he had been dragged in! Seeing that Anhao was still standing there, seemingly conflicted about something, and her expression was especially bad, Lin Qing called out to her. Seeing that she didn¡¯t seem to hear him, he walked over with a smile and patted her wrong? Were you looking for President Zuo just Anhao came back to her senses and saw the smile in Lin Qings eyes. She immediately took two steps back like a deflated balloon and leaned against a metal pillar beside the entertainment facilities. She then looked around and saw that Lin Qing didn¡¯t seem to be busy at the moment, so she asked,¡±¡±lf the trial opening time of the resort is delayed by a week, will there be any impact? Will there be any losses?¡± ¡°A week?¡± Lin Qing looked at her in confusion, then smiled and said,¡±¡±The resort originally wanted to officially open to the public at the beginning of July, when the tour forgot to start. President Zuo¡¯s initial intention was to shorten the warm-up time to avoid causing visual fatigue and aesthetic fatigue to the tourists in advance, so he originally planned to start the trial operation on June 15th.¡± Anhao immediately looked up when she heard that. Lin Qing continued,¡±¡±However, the tourism bureau is quite anxious. In the past two weeks, they have been talking to President Zuo several times, saying that they want to start a trial operation in advance. I think that although City A is a prosperous city, the tourism industry is not developed enough. After all, every place that can make money has been developed into a company or factory. Now that President Zuo has developed such a good tourism project in City A, the tourism bureau is very worried that the performance this year will still be inferior to other cities. Therefore, he placed all his hopes on this resort. ¡± ¡°Is it the people from the tourism bureau who want to start the trial operation in advance?¡±Anhao asked softly. ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qing nodded.¡± It¡¯s not even June 5th yet. We originally planned to do a trial run in two weeks before the official opening, but the people from the tourism bureau were too anxious. After discussing with President Zuo again and again, we made a compromise from the plan of two months ahead to one month ahead. That¡¯s why we made a last-minute change. We¡¯ll do a trial run tomorrow. ¡± Anhao immediately turned to look in Zuo Hanchengs direction. Zuo Hancheng was no longer at the entertainment facility, nor did he see his back. Instead, he saw a group of people walking into the resort management department in front of him. It was probably a group of people who followed Zuo Hancheng in. No wonder Zuo Hancheng could easily agree to such a big matter with just a few words. It turned out that her sudden change coincided with his original plan. Thinking of this, he no longer felt so pressured. The 50,000 yuan earned was worth it. But why did she¡­He still felt like he had bumped into something. It was one coincidence and two coincidences, but all these coincidences and this unlucky thing were linked together. She could not help but wonder who had set her up. As the sea breeze blew by, Anhao suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Qing casually,¡±¡±Before this, did Zuo Hancheng make any other last-minute changes to the resort?¡± Chapter 619 - Chapter 619: Zuo Hancheng ‘s Conditions (9) Chapter 619: Zuo Hancheng ¡®s Conditions (9) Translator: 549690339 However, Lin Qing shook his head innocently,¡±¡±What changes? Why don¡¯t 1 understand?¡± This was clearly pretending to be ignorant! Did he really think that she had run over in a fit of anger just now? Now that she had calmed down, she was still acting foolishly. However, Anhao didn¡¯t expose him. She crossed her arms and leaned against the pillar behind her. She looked up at the direction of the resort¡¯s office and sighed longest path I¡¯ve walked in all these years is Zuo Hancheng¡¯s routine.¡± Lin Qing immediately looked at her in surprise, ¡±¡¯What trick?¡± Anhao glanced at her with a half-smile and snorted without saying anything. Seeing the hidden meaning in Anhao¡¯s eyes, Lin Qing smiled and took the opportunity to turn around and talk to the staff who walked past him. When he turned around, Lin Qing secretly let out a long breath. It seemed that President Zuo had made a big move this time. Perhaps he would end up smashing his own feet instead. Gu Anhao was no longer the little girl who could be easily controlled by her emotions. She had noticed that something was wrong so quickly¡­ President Zuo, you¡¯d better pray for yourself. That night, Anhao had planned to take a bus home directly from the bus stop in front of the resort. Anyway, the transportation in front of the resort was very convenient. Even if there weren¡¯t so many bus routes here in the past, with the influence of the tourism bureau, the government, and Shengling Group, the bus routes would turn here even if they had to turn, so there were many new buses here. She was standing alone at the bus stop waiting for a bus. When she saw the bus she wanted to take, she quickly took out two coins from her pocket. Suddenly, her phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Zuo Hanchengs number. She immediately looked in the direction of the resort hesitantly. Her phone was about to run out of battery, and she had just left. Why did he suddenly call her? Had he thought of what conditions he wanted to raise with her? Seeing that her phone only had 3% battery left, Anhao didn¡¯t let it continue to ring and waste battery. As she picked up the phone, she said,¡±¡±My phone is running out of battery. Let¡¯s talk about the urgent matters briefly. We¡¯ll talk about the small matters when I get home.¡± ¡°Where is it?¡± .. His tone was really simple. Anhao glanced in the direction of the resort at the bus stop outside the resort. You don¡¯t have to send someone to send me off. Moreover, I don¡¯t think you drove your own car here today. You just took the bus from the tourism bureau, right? It¡¯s not convenient to send me off. I¡¯ll just take the bus back myself.¡± ¡°Wait for me.¡¯ ¡°Wait¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s voice immediately froze. Hello?¡± Zuo Hancheng hung up after saying those two words. Anhao stared at her phone screen that had already darkened, then glanced at the bus that had stopped in front of her. She held the coin in her hand and lifted her feet, wanting to get on the bus and leave immediately. However, her legs couldn¡¯t help but stop in place. So she only took one step forward. The bus driver saw that she didn¡¯t seem to want to get on the bus, so he didn¡¯t wait for her anymore. Anyway, there was a bus passing by every five minutes on this route. Seeing the bus drive away, Anhao let out a long sigh and raised her hand to touch her forehead. She clearly knew that Zuo Hancheng was up to no good and could tell that he was setting her up. Why did she have to stand there and wait for him? Why wait for him? Waiting for him to abuse her intelligence? After waiting for a minute, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky. Anhao looked at the sky in surprise. Did Zuo Hancheng learn how to call the wind and summon the rain in the past three years? Even if it was the rainy season in early summer, there was no need to be so accurate. It was clearly sunny all day¡­ She had only missed the bus for a minute, and it was going to rain so soon! The rain started to fall in an instant. Although it wasn¡¯t heavy, it was definitely at the level where an umbrella was needed. Anhao quickly took two steps back and stood under the bus stop. At this moment, more and more people came here to take the bus. The degree of crowding was no less than the bustling streets during normal working hours. Seeing that the bus that she was not going to take was leaving one by one, Anhao looked up at the rain in the sky and her little heart started to rain. Everyone said that Zuo Hancheng had a pair of hands that could overturn the clouds and rain in the country. That was only to describe his strength, his power, the scene he went to, and his ability. It did not mean that he could really call the wind and rain! She was just one step away from getting on the bus and not getting drenched, but she was trapped here because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone call. As expected, she was not compatible with him! ¡°Make way, make way¡­¡± The people beside the bus stop rushed onto the bus in the rain. Anhao stood at the back and tried hard to avoid them, but she was still splashed by the water. She took out a tissue from her bag to wipe the water on her calf while observing the angle of the people running from the corner of her eye. She dodged backward to avoid being splashed again. At the same time, she caught sight of a figure walking out of a painting out of the corner of her eye. She suddenly looked up. Zuo Hancheng was holding a black umbrella in his hand as he slowly walked out of the resort. The street lamps around him flickered under the rain, but they illuminated his handsome face that was as calm as a clear river. When Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng, she instinctively stood up slowly. When he approached her and held the umbrella above her head, she suddenly came back to her senses. There were a group of people around her, either sheltering from the rain or waiting for the bus. The two of them were standing too close to each other. When she took a step back, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand from his trouser pocket and grabbed her waist, causing Anhao to crash into his arms due to inertia. Anhao quickly reached out to push him away, but he lowered his head and whispered into her really rains wherever you go.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± You¡¯re the one who brought the rain, alright?¡± The weather was fine when I was about to take the bus, but it suddenly started raining less than a minute after you called!¡± Zuo Hancheng held the umbrella with one hand and held her waist with the other. He looked down at the emotions hidden under the anger in her eyes and said in a clear and light voice,¡±What did you ask Lin just now?¡± Anhao¡¯s breathing stopped. She thought about how loyal Lin Qing was to Zuo Hancheng and wanted to push him away, but Zuo Hancheng did not give her any room to retreat. He held the umbrella in the rain and looked at her pale face. What did he want to say? She could tell that Big Boss Zuo was up to no good? She could tell that Zuo Hancheng was setting a trap for her? She had already seen through him, yet he could still ask him back so calmly! How shameless! Chapter 620 - Chapter 620: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng Chapter 620: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hanchengs shamelessness wasn¡¯t undeserved. At least three years ago, she had been very accurate in judging people! She tried to push him away but failed. Instead, he held her even tighter in his arms. In the end, Anhao was saved by her sudden sneeze. Zuo Hancheng frowned slightly when he saw her sneeze twice in a row in his arms and her face turn pale. Coincidentally, the bus she was going to take had already arrived, so he held an umbrella and sent her to the bus first. After Anhao finally got into the car, she raised her hand to pat off the small amount of rain on her body and then grabbed the water from her hair. When she turned around, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked up to her. When she saw that the mighty Boss Zuo was actually reduced to taking the bus beside her, the corners of her mouth twitched and she quickly walked to the innermost part of the car. In the car, there were many people, and in this rainy weather, the air in the car was almost humid. It was safe and uncomfortable. After walking inside, there was no empty space. Even the position of the station was very crowded. The few steps she took were extremely difficult, but when she turned around, she saw Zuo Hancheng easily walking through the crowd. He even politely nodded at the stranger who took the initiative to make way for him. In an instant, he was already in front of her. Anhao opened her mouth and looked at Zuo Hancheng again. She firmly believed that it was his charisma. Otherwise, why would these people give in to him? They had squeezed him to death just now. Even if they were on the bus, they would be able to tell that he was extraordinary. They would not even dare to squeeze him. Anhao took another step back. The bus suddenly braked. Anhao was about to step back when she fell backward. Zuo Hancheng leaned over and grabbed her waist with one hand to pull her back. Anhao bumped into his arms again, but her nose hurt. She resisted the urge to sneeze and looked up at him.¡±As expected, I¡¯m unlucky to meet you. I have to squeeze into a bus on such a rainy day. Moreover, there isn¡¯t even a taxi passing by¡­¡± However, Zuo Hanchengs lips curled up in a calm and composed manner.¡±l¡¯m already stuck on the bus with you, so you don¡¯t have to complain.¡± ¡°You asked for it when you came to squeeze on the bus. There¡¯s a high-class business car from the tourism bureau that you didn¡¯t take.¡±Anhao turned to look outside the car.¡± This place is quite far from where I live. I have to change to another bus later. Are you sure you want to continue squeezing with me on the bus and send me back?¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m not giving it to you.¡± Anhao was looking outside when she heard Zuo Hanchengs indifferent words. She immediately looked back at him. Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at her.¡± I¡¯m going to People¡¯s Road to meet a few friends from overseas. Mobai will drive my car there before nine o¡¯clock.¡±¡± Anhao slowly turned her face towards the car window and looked outside. He was still setting a trap for her just now, but now it was her who was being too kind? She raised her hand and rubbed her nose. She pretended to be indifferent and said perfunctorily, ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was nasal and she had sneezed twice in a row. Zuo Hancheng looked at her back that was deliberately facing away from him.¡±Did you catch a cold?¡± Anhao sniffed and rubbed her nose. She said in a nasal voice that wasn¡¯t too heavy, ¡°¡®I¡¯m fine. I was too tired in the afternoon, so I sat on the swing by the sea for a while and accidentally fell asleep. No matter how warm the weather was, she probably caught a cold after being blown by the sea breeze for too long. However, it was not serious. She would take two pills and drink some hot water when she reached home. She would be fine tomorrow morning.¡± After she had finished speaking, she realized that Zuo Hancheng did not reply. She turned around to look at him, only to see that he was looking at her. Although her eyes were light, she was sure that she was still in his trap. This man had never been easy to deal with. Even if she could see that she had been set up by him, she did not seem to be able to escape easily. She could only break the awkwardness and say,¡±At least I know how to take care of myself better than you do now. When I catch a cold, I take my medicine on time and drink more hot water. Unlike you, who looks so healthy and almost never catches a cold, but in the end, you¡¯re defeated by stomach problems time and time again. Didn¡¯t you say that I was like a child in the past? You don¡¯t even take good care of yourself when you¡¯re sick. I think you¡¯re more like a child now.¡± Zuo Hancheng was not angry at her sarcastic words. Instead, he smiled and said in a gentle voice,¡±¡±You finally found a chance to take revenge. Even if it¡¯s just verbal revenge, it will make you feel very happy? Anhao immediately rolled her eyes out of the car window and turned around to glare at him. Zuo Hancheng took the opportunity to put his arm around her waist and lowered his head to whisper into her ear,¡±¡±Repeat what you said in front of Lin Qing.¡± Anhao looked at him speechlessly. There were so many people around, and it was almost crowded. She could only frown and say in a low voice reluctantly, ¡°Do I need to repeat it? Do you really think I can¡¯t tell that you¡¯re setting a trap for me?¡± Zuo Hanchengs handsome eyebrows twitched slightly. His smile was clear, but it was so calm that Anhao began to doubt herself. ¡°What trap?¡± Zuo Hancheng was probably the only person in the world who could lie so innocently and make the person who asked question start to doubt himself. Anhao really suspected that she had fallen into his big net three years ago. It was too much of a waste of her brain in front of Zuo Hancheng. She raised her hand and pushed it against his chest.¡±Can you speak freely?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled calmly and said in a clear voice, ¡°It¡¯s very crowded.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s very crowded, there¡¯s no need to hug it!¡± ¡± Someone got off the car over there,¡± Anhao said as she pushed him hard.¡± Go stand there.¡±¡± However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked down at her hand. Anhao instinctively followed his gaze and saw that her hand was on his chest. Through his shirt, her hand was firmly resting on the sturdiest and hardest part of his chest. She could clearly feel his steady heartbeat. Anhao took a deep breath and quickly retracted her hand. Taking advantage of the fact that the person behind her had gotten out of the car, she took a big step back. Fortunately, there were too many people in the car, so Zuo Hancheng would not take advantage of her. When she took advantage of the empty seat in the back and struggled to take a step back, he let go of her and allowed her to move away. There happened to be an empty seat behind Anhao. She sat dovvn when she saw that there were no elderly or children around. When there was an empty seat next to her, she looked up at Zuo Hancheng and asked him with her eyes if he wanted to sit. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. When he walked over, Anhao shifted her butt to the side so that she wouldn¡¯t sit too close to him. However, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not see her move a little. He sat between the two seats and crossed his long legs, turning the hard seat in the last row of the bus into a high-quality leather sofa.. Chapter 621 - Chapter 621: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng Chapter 621: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 It was not easy for her to get out of the car. Anhao hurriedly got out of the car. At this time, the rain was much lighter. It was just a very small drizzle. Even if she did not use an umbrella, she would not get too wet. She wanted to go to another bus stop across the square to change to another bus. Anhao walked straight ahead. Zuo Hancheng walked behind her. He was not side by side with her, but his pace was steady and unhurried. No matter how fast she walked, she could not shake him off. Was he really planning to send her home on foot? In the past, he was used to being picked up by this kind of big CEO. Now, it was rare for them to take the bus together. They were like a simple couple walking in the drizzle. He actually had a different feeling. Wait a minute! Gu Anhao, what are you thinking about? Anhao raised her hand to pat the moisture from her hair and continued to walk forward quickly. At this moment, a couple was walking over. The wife was at least six or seven months pregnant and was taking a walk in the square. Her husband was helping her to spread her hair and kept nagging,¡±l already said that it¡¯s raining today. If you insist on coming out, what if you catch a cold? You can¡¯t take medicine now. You¡¯ll be the one suffering¡­¡± ¡± Oh, it¡¯s fine. The doctor said that it¡¯s better for the baby to walk around more. He also said that the seven-month-old baby can already move around in the womb. I¡¯ll walk around more and accompany the little guy. Isn¡¯t that great?¡± The man couldn¡¯t help but put his arms around his wife¡¯s shoulders dotingly. The two of them walked around the square with their arms raised. Anhao looked at the woman¡¯s belly with an inexplicable sense of envy in her eyes. The couple was walking when they suddenly realized that the girl who was passing by had suddenly stopped walking. The two of them looked at her curiously.¡±Miss, are you alright? Are we in your way?¡± ¡°No, 1 haven¡¯t.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± I¡¯m just suddenly a little envious of you guys.¡± She had only come up with a random excuse, but when she said it, she realized that she was actually envious from the bottom of her heart. After saying that, she didn¡¯t wait for the couple to say anything and was about to walk around them to avoid misunderstanding. The couple looked at her strangely.¡±What are you envious of? Isn¡¯t your husband behind you?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng standing not far behind her. He was still the same distance from her when she got out of the car. His eyes were warm. Before she could react, the pregnant woman suddenly smiled and said,¡±Are you jealous that I¡¯m pregnant? Aiya, I vomit every morning. I still have gastric acid and want to eat a lot of things, but my stomach feels uncomfortable after eating. I can¡¯t sleep well every night. The doctor said that in two months, 1 won¡¯t even be able to turn over when I sleep. I¡¯m still envious of you now. You can go out for a walk with your husband. Unlike me, I have to listen to my husband¡¯s nagging when I want to go out for a walk¡­¡± ¡°What are you talking about? I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± The young couple chatted and laughed as they walked away with the umbrella. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was slowly walking over. She glared at him and said,¡±¡±Did you deliberately make others misunderstand?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡± What do 1 have to do to make others misunderstand?¡±¡± Anhao paused for a moment. That¡¯s right. The two of them were standing at least three meters away from each other just now. Why did she think that Zuo Hancheng must be her husband? Could it be that they looked like husband and wife? It shouldn¡¯t be, it shouldn¡¯t be. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was like a devil in the modern world, and she didn¡¯t have any husband and wife looks. When they were together in the past, they said that she was cow dung and he was a flower. This was more like it. Anyway, the couple had already walked far away. She was too lazy to explain and only looked at the sky.¡±lt¡¯s already so late. I don¡¯t know if the bus I want to transfer to is still available. I¡¯ll go and take a look. If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll take a taxi back.¡± After saying that, she hurriedly ran to the bus stop sign opposite the square. After waiting for a few minutes, she realized that the last bus she wanted to take had already passed. ¡°Mobai is nearby. I asked him to send the car over first.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly as he took out his phone. ¡°No need!¡± Anhao turned to look at him and reached out to press his phone. ¡°¡±I¡¯ll just take a taxi!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Don¡¯t you want to take my car?¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± When Anhao thought about how she had said that she missed him at the resort today, she wanted to scratch his face and scratch her own face. She could already feel the malice of this world. It was aimed at her IQ that could easily twitch under impulse! ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll be reminded of the car accident back then when I get in your car. You know how fragile my heart is, and it¡¯s very easy to leave a shadow. In order to prevent me from breaking your car door on impulse, I can¡¯t afford to pay for your expensive car.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I afford it?¡± Anhao looked at the taxi by the roadside and tried her best to not be distracted as she casually replied,¡±¡±Your cars are so expensive anyway. I can¡¯t afford one even if I sell myself.¡± ¡°That depends on who you sell it to.¡± Anhao tried her best not to be distracted when she spoke to him. She tried her best not to look into his eyes and tried her best to avoid any unnecessary communication. However, she was still stunned for a moment. She understood what he meant and smiled.¡±lt¡¯s already been so long. Haven¡¯t you thought of what the conditions are? Don¡¯t tell me you want to keep me hanging like this for a week?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Standing under the bus stop, he still looked noble even though he was holding a black umbrella in his hand. ¡°l have to go to Malaysia for another business trip this week. The round trip will take at least three days. Do you think I have time to accompany you?¡± Anhao heaved a sigh of relief. However, she felt that since Zuo Hancheng had made a request, he would definitely not let her live so easily. The taxi stopped in front of Anhao. She glanced at Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±Are you getting in the car?¡± Initially, she really didn¡¯t want him to send her. After all, if he did, she wouldn¡¯t be able to get the chauffeur to drive her to Hua Ting Private Park. However, when she realized that he had held an umbrella for her previously, his back was wet. He must have placed most of the umbrella over her head. She was too embarrassed to say anything unpleasant. However, before Zuo Hancheng could reply, she suddenly heard the sound of a car horn coming from the back of the car. She turned around and saw that Mobai had already driven Zuo Hanchengs car over. Because he saw Zuo Hancheng, he parked the car behind the car. ¡°Mobai is already here. I¡¯ll drive straight to People¡¯s Road.¡±Although Zuo Hancheng said that, he did not force her to get out of the car and get into his car. It was only when Anhao successfully left in a taxi that she let out a long sigh. However, for some reason, she felt that Zuo Hancheng had let her off for the time being¡­ Chapter 622 - Chapter 622: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng Chapter 622: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 The next morning, Anhao had wanted to sleep a little more in the morning after taking her medicine because she had caught a cold last night. She would then get a worker to arrange the ruler in the afternoon. However, her phone rang at 8:30 in the morning. She turned over and narrowed her eyes as she reached for her phone. Without looking at the caller ID, she picked it up and placed it beside her ear. She said in a daze,¡±Hello?¡± ¡°Come to the company.¡± Anhao woke up with a start when she heard Zuo Hanchengs voice. She sat up straight on the bed. Although she was awake, she stared at the wall in confusion. She slowly put down her phone and realized that the call had been hung up. Today was Sunday, and she was still suffering from a cold. Was it so difficult to sleep for two more hours? Anhao wanted to call him back and ask him why he wanted her to go to their company. If there was nothing important, she wouldn¡¯t go. She had to rest enough and then go to the toilet in the afternoon. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t be able to work tomorrow because she didn¡¯t have enough rest today. However, as soon as she picked up her phone, she paused for a moment. She thought about the unfair treaty she had promised Zuo Hancheng yesterday. Even though she knew that she was too stupid to agree to it in a moment of madness, he was going to go to Malaysia for a business trip soon anyway, and he would not be able to torment her for two days. Anhao scratched her head and reluctantly got up to wash up. Before she rushed to Shengling Group, she brought along the design drafts from Zheng F. She wished that Zuo Hancheng would show mercy and let her pass the drafts every time she came into contact with him. If the first time didn¡¯t work, then the second time. If the second time didn¡¯t work, then the third time. She didn¡¯t believe that he would really fail with her superior strength and coaxing him. Before she took the bus to Shengling Group, Anhao sent Zuo Hancheng a text message in advance, saying that she would bring the design drafts with her and asked him to take some time to look at the drafts for her. She had asked him to help her revise the design drafts at his house last time, but she had missed a good opportunity. She had to get the design drafts done today. There was no reply after sending the text message. Anhao glanced at the time and guessed that Zuo Hancheng was busy, so she did not continue to send messages to disturb him. When she arrived at Shengling Group, she realized that Zuo Hancheng was not in the office. Lin Qing and Mobai were not there either. The secretary said that there were people from the old American department coming over for a meeting today to overturn and revise the international trade cooperation agreements that had not been completely settled. Therefore, it might take a long time to finish the meeting. Since he was so busy today, why did he ask her to come to his company? Should he let her play computer games in his office? After Anhao thanked the secretary, she didn¡¯t enter the CEO¡¯s office. After all, her status was different now, and she couldn¡¯t go beyond the rules. Hence, she only waited in the VIP lounge opposite Zuo Hanchengs office for nearly two hours. When she arrived, she was preoccupied with the design drawings. She came in a hurry and only drank some milk. She did not eat anything else in the morning and waited until it was past ten o¡¯clock. It was almost eleven o¡¯clock. Anhao was extremely hungry, but she saw that Zuo Hancheng still had no intention of ending the meeting. At eleven o¡¯clock, her stomach started to growl. She got up and told her secretary about it before she went to the CEOs office to put down the design drawings she had brought. Anyway, she had sent Zuo Hancheng a text message earlier. He should be able to help her with the draft of the design drawings after he was done. After putting down the picture, she left immediately. The secretary asked her if she was not going to wait, but Anhao waved her hand and said she was not going to wait. On one hand, she still had to go to the toilet in the afternoon, and on the other hand, she was really hungry. When she reached the building of Shengling Group and walked to the opposite road, she suddenly saw an unfamiliar car parked beside her. Because the weather was good and the sun was shining brightly, the owner of the car rolled down the entire window and lay down in the seat with one foot on the steering wheel casually. When he saw Anhao walking past, he gave her a sideways glance. Anhao looked at Rong Qian who was in the car, then at him who seemed to have waited for a long time.¡±¡±How did you¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to come out?¡± As Rong Qian put down his legs, he took off his sunglasses and looked at her. ¡±Don¡¯t you feel the sun outside? Come, get in the car.¡± Anhao, on the other hand, had a respectful expression on her face as she asked,¡±¡±Who are you waiting for?¡± Rong Qian immediately threw her an unhappy look. ¡°Who do you think I¡¯m waiting for?¡± ¡°How did you know that I came to Shengling Group?¡± Anhao asked after blinking twice.¡± Rong Qian snorted with an indifferent expression,¡±¡± It¡¯s the weekend today, and I rarely have the time to take you out for a ride. I went to your place early in the morning to stop you, but you didn¡¯t even look to the right when you came out and got into the taxi in front of the door. I¡¯m curious about where you¡¯re going in such a hurry on the weekend, but¡­¡± At this point, Rong Qian shrugged his shoulders coldly, looking disappointed and helpless, but he still had to wait for her here. Anhao glared at him.!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound so ugly. If I want to follow you openly, it¡¯s because you were too focused on the road and didn¡¯t look back. 1 pressed the horn on the road to remind you to turn back, did you hear me?¡± ¡°..¡±He really didn¡¯t. Seeing her choked expression, Rong Qian reached out to open the car door.¡±¡±Don¡¯t dawdle. Hurry up and get in the car. The sun is killing me. I urgently need air conditioning now.¡± ¡°You¡¯re still here with the car window open in such a sunny environment. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re doing this just to let me see your ¡®handsome¡¯ appearance when I come out?¡±Anhao laughed. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m that childish?¡± Rong Qian sneered. Do you know how long I¡¯ve waited for you? I couldn¡¯t stand the air-conditioning after two hours, so I rolled down the window and laid down for half an hour.¡±As he spoke, he frowned and urged her to get into the car. . Why did he wait for her for so long? ¡°Why are you waiting for me here? Couldn¡¯t he just call her if there was anything?¡±ln the end, Anhao¡¯s heart softened when she saw his face that was slightly red from the sun. She opened the car door and got in. ¡°l saw you come here and wanted to know why you suddenly came here. Who knew that you would be in there for so long?¡±Rong Qian said in a bad mood. At the same time, he looked at her again and sized her up. After making sure that her clothes were the same as when she wore them in the morning and that they were very neat, it did not seem like something had happened inside. His eyes became better.¡±You¡¯re here to see Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°Send the design drafts.¡± ¡°I say, your minister doesn¡¯t want to work hard anymore, right? M/hy do you always push you in front of Zuo Hancheng? Did he not know how he would die in the future? Should I teach him a lesson first?¡± Anhao looked at him as if he was crazy.¡±No matter how good the Rong family is, you¡¯ve only just stepped into the country. You don¡¯t have that much power to touch the people in the government, right?¡± Rong Qian sneered,¡±lt depends on who it is..¡±¡± Chapter 623 - Chapter 623: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 623: Domineering Ex-Husband, Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°You¡¯re the strongest in the world of posturing.¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± ¡® It¡¯s almost noon.¡± She glanced outside.¡± Since you¡¯ve been waiting for me all morning, I¡¯ll treat you to lunch.¡±¡± The man next to him immediately raised his eyebrows and seemed to be in a good mood.¡±Wow, it¡¯s really not easy for you, Gu Anhao, to take the initiative to invite me to dinner.¡¯ Anhao scoffed.¡± You¡¯re lucky today. I¡¯m hungry. Otherwise, do you think I would take the initiative to treat you to a meal?¡±¡±She squinted at the sky and said, ¡±¡¯It¡¯s also because the weather is too hot. I don¡¯t want to get out of the car after getting into the air conditioner. I¡¯ll take advantage of your car to treat you to lunch.¡± ¡°l say, can you stop talking about getting even?¡±Rong Qian¡¯s face instantly turned ugly. ¡°¡±It¡¯s the weekend. Let me be happy.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you happy that I treated you to lunch? Don¡¯t push your luck. There are plenty of taxis beside me. I can get off anytime and anywhere to take a taxi to eat. You can go wherever you want.¡± ¡°Fine, fine, fine. I won¡¯t argue with you.¡±Seeing that she really had the intention to get out of the car, he immediately reached out to hold her wrist.¡±Where to eat? It¡¯s rare for you to take the initiative to treat me, so you have to eat something good, right?¡± ¡°l thought rich young masters like you would be interested in coarse grains and whatnot. I originally only planned to bring you to eat some vegetarian dishes.¡±¡±What do you want to eat then?¡± Anhao asked with a smile.¡± Rong Qian smiled.¡± With a beautiful woman accompanying you, I¡¯ll be happy to eat and drink. It¡¯s up to you.¡±¡® ¡°Tsk tsk, you have a glib tongue. Fortunately, I know that you¡¯re not reliable. Otherwise, I might have been deceived by you long ago.¡±As Anhao spoke, she sent MO Bai a text message, telling him that she had placed the design drafts in Zuo Hanchengs office. She wanted him to remind Zuo Hancheng to take a look at the design drafts after they were done with their work. Before she could send the message, Zuo Hanchengs number suddenly popped up on her phone. Anhao¡¯s hand froze and she glanced at the caller ID. She felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was watching her every move from above. Could it be that the meeting had already ended? Anhao picked up the phone and placed it beside her ear. ¡°Didn¡¯t 1 ask you to come to the company? Where did he go?¡± Zuo Hanchengs usually cold voice was so cold that it was as if ice shards were about to fall out. Anhao was speechless.¡± You asked me to come to your company so early in the morning and didn¡¯t tell me what you wanted. I waited for you here for half a day, but the secretary said that your meeting would take a long time. I put the design on your desk. When you¡¯re done, help me take a look at the design.¡± ¡°Where are the blueprints?¡± ¡°l left it on your desk.¡± Anhao was shocked.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Could it be that before you returned to your office, some secretary went in and found something unrelated, so she threw it away as waste paper?¡±Anhao felt a little strange.¡± I did put it on your desk.¡±¡± Zuo Hanchengs cold voice rang out word by word, ¡°¡±Come back, find it yourself and bring it to me.¡± Anhao was starving and wanted to eat something.¡±¡±Why don¡¯t I give you a new one in the afternoon, or send you the electronic version? I¡¯ve already left, so I won¡¯t be going back¡­¡± ¡°You have ten minutes to appear. If you¡¯re late by a second, you¡¯ll bear the consequences. ¡± ¡°Hey! Hello? Hey!¡± Anhao¡¯s hair stood on end. She shouted a few times before she realized that Zuo Hancheng had hung up the phone. She lowered her head and looked at her phone. When Zuo Hancheng was unreasonable, it really made people want to scratch him to death! However, when she thought of the unequal treaty she had agreed to yesterday and the design drawings of the political F that had not been finalized, she sighed and leaned back. Rong Qian seemed to have not heard the contents of her phone call and started the engine to drive away. Anhao quickly raised her hand and said,¡±Wait a minute, wait a minute. I won¡¯t treat you today. You can go by yourself. I still have something to do.¡± Rong Qian immediately looked at her with an ugly expression.¡±Gu Anhao, can you repeat that?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t have the energy to bicker with him at this moment. She turned to look at him.¡±lsn¡¯t it the same if we invite him another day? Besides, you said that it¡¯s the weekend today, so you¡¯re not too busy. I didn¡¯t hold you up. I just let you sunbathe here for a while. You don¡¯t have to ask me to treat you today, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯re already regretting your promise in less than five minutes. How can Gu Anhao be so different from others?¡±Rong Qian put one hand on the steering wheel and turned around to look at her angrily.¡±¡±Let me tell you, you have to treat me to this meal today, even if you don¡¯t want to. It¡¯s not that easy to get out of the car!¡± Anhao also felt that it was not nice of her to leave Rong Qian behind like this. Although this kid had offended her before and she would never have anything to do with him, they had at least formed a revolutionary friendship over the past three years. Usually, he was very annoying. Now that he had been in the air conditioner for a long time, kicking him away like this was a little too much¡­ Besides, who knew what was wrong with Zuo Hancheng? He had caused her to waste the entire morning in his companys lounge, and now he dared to threaten her? If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Zheng Ps design drawings hadn¡¯t been finalized, she would have left long ago! Who cares about the unfair treaty. She picked up the phone again.¡± Seeing that she was wavering, Rong Qian¡¯s expression softened a lot, but he still said with dissatisfaction,¡±¡± Hurry up and fight, I¡¯m hungry!¡¯ With that, Rong Qian did not give her a chance to get out of the car and drove away. Seeing that the car had already started moving, Anhao called Zuo Hancheng. The phone rang for about three times before it was picked up. Without waiting for Zuo Hancheng to speak, she said directly, ¡°¡®I didn¡¯t eat breakfast in the morning. I¡¯ll go eat first and come back to find you, okay?¡± ¡°You think I ate it?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Then you can eat whatever you want in the office. It¡¯s not convenient for me to go back now. I¡¯ve wasted the entire morning here. You don¡¯t even give me time to eat?¡± Is this an overbearing clause?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already ended the meeting two hours early. It¡¯s already very humane of me not to make you wait here for the whole day.¡± Pervert! Anhao secretly rolled her eyes and tried her best to maintain the politeness in her voice.¡±Um, I¡¯m already on the way back. Why don¡¯t I send you the electronic file later?¡± She glanced at Rong Qian¡¯s car speed. This kid was obviously trying to leave Shengling Group far behind. He was driving so fast on the city road and had reached the Emperor¡¯s Garden Hotel in an instant. ¡°Where did you get the last?¡± Anhao looked outside.¡± We¡¯ve passed the Emperor¡¯s Garden Hotel. We¡¯re almost at Winery No.l.¡± ¡°Get out of the car and wait for me there,¡± Zuo Hancheng ordered.¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone. Anhao was speechless.. Chapter 624 - Chapter 624: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (1) Chapter 624: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (1) Translator: 549690339 Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had already hung up the phone, Anhao rolled her eyes when she heard the beeping sound coming from the phone. This level of despotism and shamelessness was indeed not any less than in the past! How did Lin Qjng and Mobai endure Zuo Hancheng for so many years! She was still as loyal to him as before. If it were her, she would have kicked Zuo Hancheng away long ago! Due to the threat of the design drafts and the delay in the construction of the resort for a week, although she was dissatisfied, she could not leave just like that. She could only turn to Rong Qian, who had an unfriendly expression.¡±Let¡¯s stop by the roadside.¡± Rong Qian glanced at her coldly.¡±¡±What will happen if I don¡¯t let you get out of the car?¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be any consequences. At most, your Rong family will be wiped out by Shengling Group overnight as soon as you set foot in the domestic business world. Before you gain a firm foothold, I think you shouldn¡¯t be too young and impetuous. You have to put the big picture first. After all, you¡¯re the lifeline of the Rong family.¡± Her words hit Rong Qian¡¯s Achilles ¡®heel, but he was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.¡±Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll go against Zuo Hancheng after I¡¯ve established myself in the country?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you gone against him enough? Do you want to call your sister back from Africa? ¡°Anhao raised her eyebrows. Rong Qian¡¯s lips instantly pursed into a straight line. Anhao could see that his lips were white from anger, but it was true that the Rong family had just started in the country and could not really go head-to-head with Zuo Hancheng. He was no longer the young master of the Rong family. Since he was the heir of the Rong family, he was responsible for the family business. If he still insisted on taking her away, Anhao would look down on him. Besides love, a man should also be responsible for his family and career. He would be willing to do anything for love. That was a school fairy tale, not life. The car slowly stopped by the roadside. When it stopped, Rong Qian leaned back on the leather chair and let out a long breath. He said coldly,¡±Gu Anhao, if you get out of my car today, Zuo Hancheng and I will be irreconcilable.¡± Anhao glanced at her and knew that he was furious, but she did not want to cause a complete conflict between the Rong family and Zuo Hancheng, so she smiled and said,¡±¡± It¡¯s life. There are too many things that I can¡¯t control. You want to add a little more pressure to me? You want to see me being tortured by the heavy pressure?¡±¡± Rong Qian immediately looked at her unhappily. ¡°¡±Can¡¯t you just cut off all contact with Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°l did. Do you really think I haven¡¯t cut off contact with him in the past three years? We haven¡¯t seen each other for three years and two months, and we haven¡¯t even called each other.¡¯ ¡°That doesn¡¯t count! ¡°Then what do you want me to do? Cut off all contact? Zuo Hancheng isn¡¯t the enemy who killed my father or my mother.¡± ¡°Has there been any progress on your background? When would it end? When are you going back to America?¡± Rong Qian suddenly changed the topic. Anhao chuckled,¡±l thought it would be quick before, but it seems like it will take a long time.¡±¡® Rong Qian immediately raised his hand to cover his chest, looking like he was so angry that his heart hurt. Anhao got out of the car without any sympathy. When she closed the car door, she saw him glance at her from the corner of his eyes. It was obvious that he was angry because she really got out of the car so heartlessly. She closed the car door and said through the open window,¡±¡±Actually, Huang Amao is quite good. She liked you when you were in A High School. Are you really not going to consider her?¡± ¡°Get lost, I said I¡¯m not interested in men! ¡°Rong Qan pulled a long face and closed the window in an instant. The car sped away beside her. Anhao stood by the roadside and smiled. She turned around and walked to the shade of a tree nearby to stand for a while. The sunlight today was definitely not weak. Just as she raised her arm to check if it was red from the sun, she saw Zuo Hanchengs black SUV stop in front of her. He got out of the car and walked towards her. Anhao quickly stood up and looked around.¡±How come you¡¯re so fast? There¡¯s no traffic jam on this road today. Are you guys going to drive over the speed limit without paying attention to the traffic laws?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly, as if he was in a bad mood. ¡°You can¡¯t just sit in anyone¡¯s car. Don¡¯t make me warn you a second time.¡±Zuo Hancheng said coldly in front of her and then glanced behind her. Anhao was stunned.¡±Whose car did you see me get into just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He looked behind her and said,¡± Aren¡¯t you hungry? Go eat something.¡± After saying that, he didn¡¯t ask her what she wanted to eat and directly brought her to the high-end Chinese restaurant behind. To be honest, Chinese restaurants in the country were not as formal and high-end as those in foreign countries. This restaurant seemed to be very thoughtful. No wonder Zuo Hancheng chose this restaurant. However, Anhao did not hesitate when she sat down. She was indeed hungry anyway. She looked up at Zuo Hancheng while holding the menu. Seeing his indifferent expression, it seemed that he must have seen her from the office window when she got into Rong Qian¡¯s car. After ordering a few dishes, she fiddled with her chopsticks and looked at him.¡±How do you know that I like to eat Chinese food now? I remember that I used to especially like to eat Western food.¡± Zuo Hancheng had not visited her in the past few years, so it was impossible for him to know what she liked now. However, it was too much of a coincidence that she chose a Chinese restaurant so casually. Zuo Hancheng casually picked up the latest business magazine on the table and glanced at it. Without looking up, he said calmly,¡±¡±Close by.¡± ¡°Nearby?¡± Anhao chuckled. What a good reason. Just because this place was closer, he didn¡¯t have to drive to find another place to eat? Anhao felt bored and asked the waiter for two glasses of water. Then, she whispered,¡±¡±Since it doesn¡¯t matter where we eat, why do you have to make me get out of the car and wait for you? Why do you have to make me eat with you?¡± Zuo Hancheng finally shifted his gaze away from the magazine and his dark eyes landed on her face. Anhao was about to reach for a cup of water when she noticed his gaze. She looked back at him and said calmly,¡±¡±I¡¯m telling the truth. You¡¯re just like the modern Huang Shiren. You can threaten people just because you¡¯re rich and powerful. I spent a good weekend waiting for you.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently and picked up the magazine again. His voice was heard,¡±¡¯You don¡¯t have the patience to wait for a few hours? Do you know how long these three years are?¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was holding the glass paused for a moment. She hesitated for a moment before slowly raising the glass and taking a sip. As she swallowed the water, she slowly digested his words¡­. Chapter 625 - Chapter 625: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (2) Chapter 625: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (2) Translator: 549690339 After dinner, Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng back to Shengling Group. After entering his office, Anhao wanted to ask her secretary why the design she had placed on his desk had disappeared. However, as soon as she walked in, she saw that her design drawings were still on the desk of the CEOs office. They were still in their original positions. It was as if Zuo Hancheng had seen them a long time ago, but he did not even take a look at them. Realizing that she had indeed fallen into his trap, Anhao immediately looked up and glared at his back.¡±President Zuo! Are you very idle? Zuo Hancheng did not even bother to cover up the design on the table. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye and said,¡±¡¯I¡¯m not free. Other than taking an hour to have lunch with my ex-wife, I really don¡¯t have much time.¡± An angrily walked over and picked up the design on the table. Then, he slammed it heavily in front of him.¡±Then, if there¡¯s anything you¡¯re not satisfied with, just point it out for me. I¡¯ll change it according to what you said. Don¡¯t torture us anymore!¡± As Zuo Hancheng took it, he glanced at it and said,¡±¡¯You changed it according to my instructions so quickly?¡± ¡°Of course, if President Zuo has given me instructions, I will definitely do my best. Even if I stay up all night, I will go back and turn on the computer to redo it. After all, as long as the drawings on your side are finalized, our work can quickly enter the final stage. It¡¯s already June, and we have to complete it by the end of October. If we don¡¯t finalize it now, it will delay the project. 1 can¡¯t bear this responsibility!¡± As Anhao spoke, she pushed the design in front of him.¡±Just do me a favor and quickly help you settle it, okay?¡± After all, this was Anhao¡¯s condition for staying at his house to help him make dinner that day. Zuo Hancheng finally stopped tormenting her. After taking a look at the design, he sat down and looked at the design that she had revised. Anhao sat down on the sofa beside her. After a while, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already flipped to the next page. She then smiled. He finally saw it. ¡°When are you going to Malaysia for a business trip?¡± Anhao asked casually. Zuo Hancheng flipped through her design drawings and said after a while,¡± ¡°Tomorrow.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Okay, then I¡¯ll go to the villa in the resort to settle the layout and the initial construction. Once the owner of the house has confirmed my design, it won¡¯t affect the trial operation of the resort anymore. I still have to thank you for buying me a week.¡±¡± Even though she knew that Zuo Hancheng had the intention to delay the trial operation, it was just a small matter for her now. However, he had his reasons for not helping her. After all, the government and the tourism bureau were pressuring her. He could help her fight for a week at this time. While she was grateful, she had to thank him. Zuo Hancheng did not show any expression because he heard her thank you. Seeing that there was no glass of water on his table, Anhao stood up and prepared to pour him a glass of water. She had just gone out to get some water and placed the cup on the office table. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng had finished reading the design that she had revised and put it down. Don¡¯t use the language to say thank you.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her meaningfully. Anhao¡¯s hand paused for a moment before she handed him the glass of water.¡±¡±Then what should we use?¡± To prevent him from saying something unacceptable, Anhao quickly said,¡±¡¯By way, have you thought about the conditions I told you before? You¡¯re going on a business trip tomorrow. I can¡¯t be waiting for your call across the sea in A City, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng picked up the glass of water that she had handed him and put it aside. At the same time, he threw her design back in front of her. Anhao quickly took the design plan and saw that there were a few places in the interior design of the cultural center that needed to be modified. Zuo Hanchengs signature was at the bottom. She looked at him in surprise.¡±You¡­ You signed it just like that?¡± ¡°After modifying the internal structure of the cultural center in the way I indicated, there¡¯s no need to show it to me anymore.¡±Zuo Hanchengs voice was light. Anhao had only come with the intention of giving it a try today. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to really approve her draft! Could it be that he had called her to the company this morning to ask her to bring the design drafts? She suppressed her ecstatic expression and only smiled.¡± Thank you. This is my first job after returning to China. I always want to complete it as soon as possible. I¡¯ve been troubling you too much. After the leveling project at the resort is completed, I won¡¯t have to trouble you anymore¡­¡± ¡°When I come back from my business trip, follow me to the United States. It will take about a week. ¡°Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hanchengs slow words interrupted her. It could also be considered as gently interrupting her fantasy of never wanting to interact with each other again in the future. Anhao thought that she had heard wrong. She held the design drawing and looked at him a few times.¡±l just came back from America. Why would I go to America?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue is in some kind of situation and can¡¯t communicate with her family. She¡¯s compatible with your personality, so I¡¯m asking you to help the Zuo family.Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was faint, and it was hard to tell if it was true or if he was deliberately asking her to return to the Zuo family. ¡°What could happen to Zuo Yue?¡± Anhao was puzzled. Hadn¡¯t she always been fine in America? I think 1 saw her in Boston a year ago. She seemed¡­She seemed to be with a man. Was she in love?¡± Hearing her words, the left side of Hanchengs eyebrows twitched and he looked at her. ¡°¡±What man?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a tall man who looks very attractive and handsome. He¡¯s about 30 years old and seems to have a very important position in the United States. I remember someone recognized him and called him something mister. At that time, Zuo Yue and I happened to meet on the road. We didn¡¯t have time to say a few words before she left. That was because the man had picked her up in the car. The man looked good in all aspects, but he was cold¡­lt was especially cold¡­His attitude towards Zuo Yue¡­ Also¡­ I can¡¯t explain it, but it¡¯s very subtle. He clearly cares about her, but he¡¯s cold and distant¡­ After Anhao finished speaking, she looked at him.¡± I don¡¯t think I need to go for this kind of thing. Zuo Yue and I aren¡¯t really that close¡­¡± ¡°Follow me to America for a week. That¡¯s my condition.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not give her any time to waste and spoke directly. Anhao¡¯s eyes turned cold.¡± Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re being unreasonable. I¡¯m so busy with work, how could I have the chance to go to America for a week?¡±¡± ¡°You have to keep your word.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly looked at the design in her hand with a faint smile.¡±¡±I¡¯ve already fulfilled my promise. Do you want to stand me up?¡± Anhao almost fainted! Zuo Hancheng, that cunning old fox! She knew that there was something fishy about him suddenly approving her draft so easily! He actually defeated her just like that! Chapter 626 - Chapter 626: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (3) Chapter 626: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo left at dawn today for a short business trip to Malaysia. Is there anything urgent?¡± Hearing Lin Qings voice on the phone, Anhao suddenly woke up and quickly sat up on the bed. She did not sleep well that night because she had promised to go to the United States with Zuo Hancheng when he came back. When she opened her eyes, she wanted to call Zuo Hancheng and tell him that she was not going and that they would discuss this matter again. Anyway, she had already asked the workers to go to the seaside villa to officially queue up yesterday afternoon. Now that she had ended this ¡°deal¡¯! early, it was not too bad for both of them. In the end, she did not expect Zuo Hancheng to leave so early. ¡°Anhao?¡¯! Lin Qing noticed that there was no movement from her side, so he asked there¡¯s anything urgent that 1 can help you with, you can tell me first. I¡¯ll tell President Zuo when he comes back.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s nothing urgent.¡± At this moment, all of Anhao¡¯s sleeping bugs had woken up. When she first woke up, the paste in her brain had all disappeared in an instant. She only raised her hand to stroke her forehead and said,¡±How many days is he on a business trip?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not too far to go to Malaysia. It¡¯s just an event that requires him to show his face in person. It¡¯ll take at least three to four days.¡± ¡± Alright, thank you, Sister Lin Qing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. If there¡¯s anything you need me for, feel free to look for me.¡± ¡°Yes. Anhao hung up the phone. She had no choice but to agree to Zuo Hanchengs conditions yesterday, and her head hurt terribly. She had not greeted the Zuo family after the divorce. When she bumped into Zuo Yue in Boston, Zuo Yue seemed to have something on her mind, so the two of them did not talk about Zuo Hancheng in depth. Now, did something really happen to Zuo Yue, or did she not get out of Zuo Hanchengs trap? Anhao scratched her head and stood up in frustration. Only let her feel free things design map finally left cold city over there, she finalized, early in the morning she took the design map to the office of Zheng F, and together with Zi Ran they will be pointed out to modify the place to rest for a while, and then send the design map to everyone in the office, let everyone make a formal design map, then again in a week everyone together make a formal 3D model out. After the task was assigned, the design department started their busy life again. Minister Qin didn¡¯t think of ways to get Anhao to help with anything these two days, and he suddenly avoided Anhao for some reason. However, Minister Qin was the leader of the group on Tuesday, so it was inevitable that they would meet in the office. However, Minister Qin was very polite to An Xiao. Anhao was a little confused. Perhaps Zuo Hancheng had given him some vague hints, so Minister Qin no longer treated her as a subordinate that could be used. Instead, he seemed to not dare to offend Anhao every time he saw her. Two days later. ¡°Now, the bottom of the model is done. I¡¯ve seen it and it¡¯s very successful. However, Xiao Qiu was good at graphic design, but she was not good at 3D models.¡±ln the office, Anhao stood in the middle of the crowd and held a meeting for everyone with a serious expression.¡±¡±Qiu, if you can¡¯t even operate the three-dimensional simulation of the second floor of the cultural center perfectly, I might have to take your job temporarily and let you work as a clerk in the design department¡¯s proposal team.¡± Xiao Qiu, who had suddenly been named, realized the importance of Anhao as the head of the design department. After all, the design drawings had been officially finalized, and the design department had begun its formal preparations. Now was the time for Anhao to decide whether to replace them or keep them. The salary of a clerk was not much. It was just to type and do forms according to the opinions of the leader. The monthly salary was not even 2,500 yuan. Although it was stable, there was basically no big development. Who would want to be a clerk? However, Anhao suddenly pointed out her name. Xiao Qiu pursed her lips with a dark expression.¡± It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not good at 3D simulation design. It¡¯s just that after graduation, I¡¯ve been doing all kinds of interviews and internships. I¡¯ve never really worked on such a large building simulation. You should give me a chance. Anyway, there¡¯s still a week. I¡¯ll definitely be able to finish it within a week¡­ ¡°Yes, but can you do it to my satisfaction within a week?¡±Anhao looked at her coldly. Xiao Qiu immediately looked up at her coldly.¡±Yes!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll give you a chance for a week.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± The other colleagues around them all spoke up. Xiao Hui had been dumped by Xiao Qiu a long time ago, so of course, they wouldn¡¯t speak up for Xiao Qiu. Everyone knew that Xiao Qiu had never been on good terms with Gu Anhao, but Gu Anhao still gave Xiao Qiu a chance. It was obvious that Gu Anhao wasn¡¯t a selfish person. She still gave Xiao Qiu a chance to speak up with her strength. For a moment, everyone¡¯s dislike and dissatisfaction with Anhao gradually decreased. Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t realize that Gu Anhao had actually used her to take revenge on her. She only wanted to make a good simulation this week so that she wouldn¡¯t be laughed at by Gu Anhao. After the meeting, Xiao Qiu turned around and sat down in front of her computer with a cold face. Anhao glanced in her direction and said,¡±Zi Ran, come to my office.¡± When Zi Ran heard this, she immediately stood up and followed Anhao in. Anhao turned on her computer.¡± Here, you¡¯ll be in charge of the garden area at the end of the stadium. Remember that the temperature difference in A City is not small throughout the year. During winter, you can¡¯t let these green areas look bare. You can add a small amount of green pine trees in.¡± ¡± Also, willow trees can be used as well. When the willow trees freeze in winter and hang a small amount of snow, they will become especially beautiful snowflakes. They are also a unique landscape. When designing the green belts in these garden areas, we must pay attention to the use of the four seasons. We must not have an empty space in a certain season¡­¡± As Anhao instructed, Zi Ran took out a pen and wrote it down. At the same time, she nodded and said,¡±Our A City belongs to the coastal area, so snow is rare. However, with the green pine trees lining the side, even if there is no snow in winter, it will still look good.¡± ¡°In winter, even if there is no snow, there can be a lighting design. There will be a special lighting design between the hanging willow branches.¡± ¡°You even thought of lighting design? This isn¡¯t our department¡¯s mission. I didn¡¯t even think of it¡­ Anhao continued to talk to Zi Ran about the garden area outside the stadium. At this moment, the phone on the table rang. She lowered her eyes to look at the phone and saw a string of unfamiliar numbers. However, the caller ID was from City A, and it looked like a good number. Such a rare seven-digit number was worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.. Chapter 627 - Chapter 627: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (4) Chapter 627: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (4) Translator: 549690339 She hesitated for a long time. After confirming that this unknown number was not a scam number, she picked it up. ¡°Hello, how are you?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, come down. I¡¯ll wait for you in the parking lot in front of your building. ¡± This voice¡­ Anhao stood up in surprise and walked to the window behind her. She looked out and saw MO Yunfei¡¯s car parked in the parking lot. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± She frowned in frustration. Didn¡¯t I make it clear to you last time?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve made it very clear to me. Have you considered the situation of the Huang family and my parents? If I don¡¯t tell them everything, do you think Huang Mao and I will have an easy time?¡± Initially, Anhao didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with MO Yunfei. Last time, she had finally gotten out of his car and hadn¡¯t even had the chance to settle the score with Huang Amao, Why was he here again? ¡°How do you explain it clearly? Huang Mao had already returned home a few days ago. She should have already made things clear with her parents. Why do you still want me to explain?¡± ¡± What time do you get off work?¡± MO Yunfei sneered.¡± We¡¯ll talk about it after you come out.¡±¡± Anhao looked at the time.¡¯ ¡°Two hours. I¡¯ll wait for you. Remember not to run away. I¡¯m taking you to meet Huang Mao¡¯s parents. Do you think there¡¯s no misunderstanding? Now that you¡¯ve made this matter so complicated, it¡¯s necessary to meet the Huang family¡¯s parents in person and tell them everything. Otherwise, the Huang family will think that our MO family is up to something in the dark.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for that.¡± ¡°You want to run away from the trouble you caused?¡± ¡°No, how is this considered causing trouble? This matter has not escalated to this extent¡­ ¡°l just want to ask you one thing. Are you coming to see me directly after work, or are you planning to run away?¡± What kind of question was this? If she really wanted to run, would she tell him? Anhao looked out of the window again.¡± We¡¯ll talk after work. You don¡¯t have to wait for me. If I have any plans, I¡¯ll contact you later.¡±¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯m meeting a few friends nearby. I¡¯ll come back when you get off work.¡¯ After saying that, the other party hung up the phone. Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. She felt that MO Yunfei didn¡¯t have any good intentions, but he brought up Huang Amao¡¯s parents. Zi Ran was still waiting behind her to tell her about the garden design plan. She turned around and went back to work. After Zi Ran left the office, Anhao sat behind her desk and gave Huang Amao a call. Huang Amao had returned to the police station to work. When she worked as an 110 operator, she couldn¡¯t bring her phone with her. She called twice in a row but no one answered. She couldn¡¯t call 110 to find Huang Amao, so she had to do it. When it was time to get off work, she lay on her desk and didn¡¯t leave until MO Yunfei called. She glanced at the caller ID and didn¡¯t pick up. She sighed, got up, and walked out with her bag. She didn¡¯t expect to get into trouble by helping Huang Amao. But no matter what, if the Huang family really wanted to pursue the matter and that was why MO Yunfei was making things difficult for her now, she couldn¡¯t just hide like this. When she arrived at the parking lot in the front square, Anhao looked around. Seeing that MO Yunfei¡¯s car was not there, she was not in the mood to wait for him. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a car horn behind her. She turned around and saw MO Yunfei¡¯s car driving toward her. The car drove very fast. Anhao stood by the roadside and had already walked down the steps. The car rushed in front of her and stopped only ten centimeters away from her. Anhao¡¯s hair was blown back by the wind brought by the car. When her hair slowly fell, MO Yunfei rolled down the window and looked at her.¡±Get in the car.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t see through Nio Yunfei, but she knew that he didn¡¯t look like a good person. She was on guard and didn¡¯t get into the car. Instead, she walked back up the stairs and looked in through the window. Seeing that there was no one else, she Huang Mao¡¯s parents intend to pursue this matter, I will find time to visit them with Huang Mao. You can just be a hands-off manager for this matter.¡± MO Yunfei narrowed his eyes and looked at her coldly.¡±¡±You can handle the Huang family¡¯s parents. Who will handle my parents?¡± ¡°What does your parents have to do with me?¡± Anhao frowned.¡± ¡°They are old friends with the Huang family. The four elders are not stable now. You¡¯re going to the Huang family, but don¡¯t you plan to go to our house to meet my parents?¡± ¡°I have nothing to do with you. Why would I go see your parents?¡±Anhao heard something fishy and felt that MO Yunfei¡¯s motive was not simple. She stepped back a little and only looked at him after she had retreated to a safe distance. MO Yunfei saw the obvious wariness in her eyes and immediately narrowed his eyes.¡±You¡¯re just going to defend against me?¡± He was born a scumbag. There were so many women outside, and now he was pestering her just because she went on a blind date. Who else could she be wary of if not him? MO Yunfei¡¯s expression turned cold when she didn¡¯t say anything. He suddenly got out of the car, slammed the door, and walked toward her. Anhao saw him approaching and quickly retreated to maintain a certain distance from him. MO Yunfei stared at her leg.¡± Anhao only looked around, trying to find a suitable escape route to avoid suffering any losses. ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to run.¡± MO Yunfei saw through her intentions and grabbed her wrist. Just as Anhao was about to struggle, he suddenly looked behind her.¡±¡±Are those your colleagues in the government? Do you want to cause a misunderstanding here?¡± Anhao paused. She had wanted to call her colleagues over to help her out, but when she turned around and saw Xiao Qiu, she immediately cursed in her heart and glared at him.¡±Let go! MO Yunfei, if you dare to mess around, I won¡¯t be polite. The last time I kicked you was just a warning, you¡­¡± However, he did not even listen to her. He grabbed her wrist and avoided her resistance. At the same time, he grabbed her wrist with his manly strength.¡±Get in the car with me!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going up! Let go of me!¡± Seeing that he was on guard this time, Anhao even increased the strength in his hand. He pinched the tendons on her wrist, causing her arm to go numb and unable to exert any strength. When she lifted her leg, he took the opportunity to drag her directly to the side of the car. The car door opened and he pushed her directly in. The moment the car door closed, Anhao sat up with a stagger. She looked around and tried to open the car door, but it was already locked. MO Yunfei had clearly come prepared this time! But what was he trying to do? Anhao raised her hand and tried to open the built-in lock. At the same time, she saw that the windows were all closed! Her breathing quickened in a moment of desperation, but her heart suddenly rang with alarm.. In this car¡­What was that smell? Chapter 628 - Chapter 628: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (5) Chapter 628: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (5) Translator: 549690339 In this car¡­What was that smell? Anhao quickly covered her mouth and nose with one hand and slapped the window with the other. Nio Yunfei seemed to know that there was something fishy going on in the car, so he chose to stand outside the car and not enter. Anhao couldn¡¯t believe that the young master of the MO family would resort to such a despicable method. She reached out angrily and wanted to pull out the fixed support on the car seat. The two fixed metal supports were the only things in the car that could be used to open the window! This was one of the ways to save himself in the car. MO Yunfei¡¯s expression froze when he saw that Anhao had nothing to use to open the window, but she was actually trying to pull out the fixing frame hidden in the seat. However, when he saw that she was unable to pull it out after a long time, his eyebrows gradually raised as he watched her struggle in the car. The more Anhao struggled, the faster her breathing became. Her body was getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn¡¯t pull the support out with one hand. In the end, she held her breath and tried to pull it out with both hands, but she still couldn¡¯t move it. Her limbs seemed to be tied up by something invisible, and her strength was being drained bit by bit. After struggling in the car for about ten minutes, no one in the parking lot noticed anything unusual. They could only see MO Yunfei smoking beside the car. He used the time he had to smoke to wait for time to pass. However, he obviously did not expect Anhao to have such a strong willpower. He had heard that ordinary people would be able to take this medicine after breathing for five to eight minutes, but she actually lasted for twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, Anhao finally put down her hand weakly. Anhao leaned back in her seat in a daze, unable to struggle. She could only frown and look at MO Yunfei outside the window. She did not know what he had done in the car, but she had completely lost all her strength. She leaned on the seat, turned around, looked at the car, put the perfume in the position, this thing just let her have no strength, but it didn¡¯t cause a coma or something, and this smell has gradually dispersed. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she had been breathing in the smell for too long, but she could no longer smell it. When MO Yunfei pushed her into the car, her phone fell to the ground. She looked down at her phone. Her instinct was to knock on the car window to save herself, but she ignored the strange smell in the car. She had missed such a good time to call for help. But even if she had picked up her phone, MO Yunfei would have taken the opportunity to snatch it away. She glanced at the ground again. She had no strength left in her body. Her weak legs moved slightly, and she slowly kicked the phone to a position under the seat where MO Yunfei would not notice. Two minutes later, MO Yunfei looked at the time and confirmed that the smell had dissipated within a certain period of time. She walked around the car and opened the door to get into the driver¡¯s seat. Anhao leaned back in her seat and looked at him. MO Yunfei raised his eyebrows and saw that her messy hair was stuck to her face from struggling in the car. He still gently brushed her hair back. Anhao immediately turned her eyes away with disgust. She wanted to speak, but she realized that she didn¡¯t have much strength when she opened her mouth. Her voice was much softer than usual. She didn¡¯t even have the chance to shout for help in the car. ¡°MO Yunfei, what era are we in? What do you want?¡± Anhao barely turned around, but she was so tired that she panted heavily, as if she had run ten kilometers. MO Yunfei laughed as he drove away.¡±¡±lf it weren¡¯t for that old woman Lisa pestering me, I wouldn¡¯t have used such a method on you. However, looking at you, Gu Anhao, sitting next to me so weakly, it really makes me want to ravage you.¡± Anhao bit her lip and looked at him coldly. Then, she looked at him as he drove the car into the middle of the road.¡±Where are you taking me?¡± ¡°The effects of your medicine won¡¯t last long. Of course, it won¡¯t go too far. Don¡¯t worry.¡±Mo Yunfei actually tried to comfort her. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him. She took two deep breaths to regulate her breathing and said softly,¡±¡±Lisa?The designer of Stars Corporation?¡± ¡°Uh-huh.¡± MO Yunfei replied casually. ¡°She knows you? What are you doing?¡± Seeing that she was still asking him about the cause of the incident, instead of crying and begging for mercy in a panic, MO Yunfei raised his eyebrows and sighed. ¡°¡±To be honest, I was controlled by someone. Back then, I was stupid enough to have sex with Lisa, that old woman. In the end, I fell into her trap and was photographed sleeping with her.¡± Anhao frowned and looked at MO Yunfei strangely. ¡°But Lisa never threatened me. Other than threatening me to help her ruin your reputation, she really didn¡¯t pester me much. This was the first time she asked me for help, and she promised that this would be the last time. After that, the video would be destroyed and wouldn¡¯t be sent to my parents, so¡­¡± MO Yunfei sneered, ¡°You can only feel wronged.¡± Understanding the meaning behind his words, Anhao glared at him.¡±¡±Me? What are you trying to do? Since Lisa was the one threatening you, and you weren¡¯t the one who wanted to play such dirty tricks on me, go and fight Lisa. Why did you come to me to trick an innocent person like me?¡± MO Yunfei scoffed.¡± What a coincidence. I like this method too. It¡¯s so exciting! As he said that, he took the opportunity to stop at the red light and turned to look at her. His gaze slid from her collar to her legs. His gaze was clearly very interested in her! When Anhao saw his gaze, she remembered that he had just said that he would help Lisa ruin her reputation. Her entire body froze, but she did not have the strength to avoid his gaze. She could only glare at him with a pale face.¡±You¡¯re the young master of the MO family after all. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too beneath you to use such despicable methods with a woman who has reached a dead end?¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed a loss of value. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have waited until today to implement this method.¡±Mo Yunfei said coldly,¡±You, Gu Anhao, are quite skilled. That¡¯s why our original plan changed. We had no choice but to drug the car. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you would have smashed my car!¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes.¡±lf you let me out of the car now, I promise 1 won¡¯t call the police or smash your car.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± MO Yunfei suddenly laughed and glanced at her.¡±¡±Grandpa, I like to challenge all kinds of new and exciting people and things, including you, Gu Anhao¡¯s line of defense. Since you don¡¯t play by the rules, of course I won¡¯t play by the rules either.. How is it?!¡± Chapter 629 - Chapter 629: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (6) Chapter 629: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°You pervert!¡± Anhao was furious. MO Yunfei was obviously unmoved by her scolding. He only curled his lips coldly.¡±¡±Don¡¯t be in a hurry to scold him. The perverts are still coming.¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise. What did he mean by that? The car no longer had that strange smell, but she was still weak and sleepy. She tried her best to maintain a trace of clarity as she observed the direction of his car. She only narrowed her eyes when the car stopped in front of a seven-star hotel a few kilometers away from the government. In the next moment, MO Yunfei got out of the car and opened the door on her side to carry her out. Anhao wanted to resist, but she had no strength. Mo Yunfei didn¡¯t expect her to be able to hold her own against him even in this situation. He suddenly lifted her up on his shoulder, but he didn¡¯t notice that Anhao had grabbed her phone from under the seat and stuffed it into her pocket as she fell off the car seat and continued to struggle. MO Yunfei only glanced into the car when he carried her out of the car. Seeing that her bag had been thrown into the car, he was sure that she had nothing on her. He carried her directly from the dimly lit underground parking lot into the hotel staff¡¯s elevator. He took the staff elevator instead of the guest elevator. Anhao felt weak as he carried her all the way. At the same time, she felt as if her bones had broken and reassembled. It was painful and powerless. She wanted to warn him again and persuade him not to do anything irreparable. Even if his family was powerful and spoiled since he was young, even if he had never been unable to get what he wanted, the MO family was still a prestigious family in A City. If he continued to do this, the MO family would probably be dragged down by him. However, she couldn¡¯t say what she wanted to say. Not only did she have no strength, she didn¡¯t even have the strength to speak. She just let MO Yunfei carry her out of the elevator weakly. He walked very quickly, and she didn¡¯t see where he carried her to. She only knew that he carried her all the way to a dark room, and then suddenly threw her down. Anhao was shocked. She used one hand to press the phone in her pocket to prevent him from noticing her while her other hand searched around. When she realized that she was lying on a soft leather sofa, she became even more alert and tensed up. However, MO Yunfei did not come over. She could feel that he seemed to hesitate for half a minute before he turned around and walked out. Anhao narrowed her eyes and watched his actions in the dark. Then, MO Yunfei suddenly turned around and walked out quickly. Anhao looked at his back, not knowing what his purpose was. Why did he leave her here? The moment the door was closed, Anhao was about to secretly take out her phone from her pocket. Although she didn¡¯t have much strength, she still had some strength to put the phone aside and dial a number with her fingers, even though her hands and feet were numb and weak. Just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly heard a sound in the dark. It sounded like high heels stepping on the ground. She couldn¡¯t see anything in the darkness, and all the hair on her body stood on end. The lights in the room suddenly lit up. Anhao, who had just adapted to the darkness, closed her eyes immediately. In the end, she opened her eyes a little bit and gradually returned to normal. She looked at Lisa, who was standing by the wall with her hand still on the crystal chandelier switch. ¡°Gu Anhao, long time no see.¡± Lisa looked at her with a cold smile and leaned against the wall with an alluring expression as if she was determined to win. She just looked at Anhao, who was lying weakly on the sofa. Lisa looked much thinner. A woman in her thirties would age very quickly if something happened to her. It had only been a short time, but although Lisa still had heavy makeup on her face, she looked like she had aged by at least three or four years. Even though she was wearing contact lenses, she did not look energetic. Instead, her eyes were filled with cold laughter and disdain. This was the result of a beautiful designer who was high up in the air and admired by everyone being instantly beaten down into the dust and turned into an ant that everyone hated. Lisa seemed to have been fired by the Star Corporation. Was this the reason why Lisa hated her? MO Yunfei had said that he and Lisa were working together today. She had thought that MO Yunfei was going to do something out of line to her and had been worried about how she could protect herself now that she did not have the strength. But now that she thought about it, since Lisa wanted to ruin her reputation, it couldn¡¯t be as simple as she thought. In the next moment, Anhao seemed to notice that this place was like a temporary studio. She suddenly turned to look at the cameras in the corner and immediately looked at the premeditated sneer in Lisa¡¯s eyes with a hesitant expression. ¡°It seems that you are ready.¡±Lisa saw that Anhao was only observing her surroundings but was cautious and didn¡¯t say anything, so she raised her hand and clapped. All of a sudden, the spotlights in the house shone in her direction. Anhao¡¯s eyes were stung by the light. When she narrowed her eyes, she saw a few men walking in from another small door. After they came in, they immediately picked up the video camera and began to adjust the angle and brightness. When Lisa saw them enter, she smiled and said,¡±Xiao Gang, Xiao Xu, go and take off her clothes.¡¯ Anhao glanced at Lisa and then at the door Mo Yunfei had just left through. Could it be that he wanted to take a nude photo of the girl? As a designer who had gained some fame overnight in A City, if her nude photos suddenly appeared everywhere, it would indeed ruin her reputation and make her unable to raise her head. She would be in a worse state than Lisa. Anhao moved her body back warily, but the two strong-looking men walked straight towards her under Lisa¡¯s instructions. Moreover, they were both bare-chested and looked like they had tangled muscles. They must be very strong. Even if she wasn¡¯t drugged, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat them under normal circumstances. She held her phone tightly behind her back. When the two men walked over, she suddenly turned over gently and lowered her head to quickly dial 110. When the two men saw her actions, they immediately came over to snatch the phone. Lisa cursed with an ugly expression,¡±Mo Yunfei did it on purpose? He actually dared to let her bring her phone in! Bring it over and smash it!¡± The two men rushed forward to snatch the phone from Anhao¡¯s hand. The moment the 110 call was dialed, Anhao desperately curled up her body to protect the phone when the two men reached out. However, her current strength was far inferior to those two men. With a simple tug, Anhao fell from the sofa onto the carpet under the sofa.. Chapter 630 - Chapter 630: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (7) Chapter 630: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (7) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Give us the phone!¡± The two men pulled Anhao¡¯s hair mercilessly. Anhao endured the pain and glanced at her phone when the call went through. A familiar voice miraculously came from the other end,¡±¡±Hello, this is the 110 police station. How can I help you¡­¡± It was Huang Amao! As expected, the heavens did not want her to die! Anhao quickly shouted before her phone was snatched away,¡±¡±Ah Mao! Save me!¡± The person on the other end was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Anhao¡¯s voice was too sharp and he didn¡¯t hear her clearly for a moment. When he reacted, he hurriedly said, ¡°Anhao?¡± However, before she could say ¡± okay ¡°, her phone was smashed to the ground. Anhao looked at her phone screen, which had been smashed. She took a deep breath and looked up at the two men.¡±I¡¯ve already called the police. If you don¡¯t want to go to jail, I advise you to stop immediately! The police can easily find the GPS location displayed on my phone!¡± The two men were stunned for a moment. They did not expect that this woman had clearly been drugged and fell to the ground like an ant that could be crushed at any time. Her hair was pulled by them, and she looked very miserable. However, she could still say such words to threaten them. Lisa suddenly cursed at the wall.¡±What are you waiting for? Did I give you money for nothing? Don¡¯t forget that MO Yunfei was also involved in this matter. Even if they wanted to pursue the matter, MO Yunfei would be in front of them. What was there to be afraid of? He had already done it. Hurry up and take off her clothes first. Take one photo after another! Hurry up!¡¯ Anhao did not expect Lisa to be so crazy. She turned to look in Lisa¡¯s direction in disbelief. The two men suddenly lifted her up and threw her back onto the sofa. They reached out to unbutton her clothes, but Anhao quickly raised her hand to cover them. The two men suddenly turned around and said,¡±Sister Lisa, her medicine seems to have¡­ Lisa could see that Anhao could actually move. She didn¡¯t expect her to be so physically fit and resistant to the drug. She immediately scolded with an ugly expression,¡±Don¡¯t dawdle! Hurry up!¡¯ The two men continued to tear at Anhao¡¯s clothes. Anhao gritted her teeth and blocked their hands, but she was still unable to resist their strength. The thin suncoat on her body was instantly torn apart. Suddenly, when the man called Xiao Gang was about to pull her hair, she opened her mouth and bit his wrist fiercely. ¡°Ah!¡± The man cried out in pain and flung her away forcefully. Anhao¡¯s head was thrown onto the back of the sofa. No matter how soft the back of the sofa was, the huge impact still made her dizzy for a moment. At this moment, another man had already pulled her clothes off. She felt a chill on her shoulder. She lowered her eyes alertly to look at the clothes that had fallen off half of her shoulder. She raised her leg and kicked fiercely at the man¡¯s abdomen. Even though she was struggling, the increasing heat in her body had stimulated the drug in her body. However, the drug had not completely passed. This bit of strength was not itchy to the man, but when she was pushed, he directly twisted her leg and exerted force forward. Anhao¡¯s leg was almost broken in an instant. It was so painful that her face turned pale. She looked up and glared at the two men.¡±How much did Lisa give you? I¡¯ll pay you double! Don¡¯t take off my clothes!¡± The two men were stunned for a moment. After all, only rich people would do such a thing. When they heard the woman¡¯s words, they looked at each other. Seeing that Gu Anhao was so difficult to deal with, Lisa was so angry that she walked over quickly in her high heels and pushed the two men away.¡±Get lost! Trash!¡± As she spoke, she reached out to take off Anhao¡¯s clothes. When Anhao saw Lisa coming over, she quickly tried to dodge. However, Lisa took advantage of the fact that the drug on Anhao¡¯s body had not completely dissipated and twisted Anhao¡¯s arm forcefully while Anhao was still weak. Her hand pinched Anhao¡¯s body a few times. Anhao felt pain, but she avoided Lisa¡¯s hand even more cautiously. Seeing that it was so exhausting, Lisa turned to look at the two men standing at the side and the photographer not far away.¡±What are you all standing there for? Don¡¯t you know who brought her in just now? Would MO Yunfei be short of your money? This Gu Anhao is just a poor designer, how could she have the money to pay you two double! Hurry up and take her off! Otherwise, none of us will be able to escape when the police arrive! We¡¯ve already come this far. Hurry up and finish filming and leave! When the time comes, she¡¯ll just be naked. She¡¯s not injured or dead, and the police won¡¯t be able to pursue the matter! Hurry up!¡¯ When the two men heard that they were about to come over, Anhao immediately looked at them coldly.¡±l¡¯m from Zuo Hancheng! Who dares to touch me! Shengling Group is more powerful than the MO family. You know very well whether 1 can afford to pay double the amount!¡± ¡± Don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. It¡¯s just that when President Zuo gave her a chance in T City, she dared to say that she was Zuo Hanchengs woman. How shameless!¡± You¡¯re not taking it off? You still dare to struggle?¡± Lisa looked at Anhao coldly as Anhao¡¯s strength was gradually recovering. She was afraid that Anhao would really recover all her strength in a while, and she was even more afraid that she would not be able to do this today. Suddenly, she turned to look at the thick crystal ashtray on the coffee table beside the sofa. She pressed Anhao¡¯s shoulder with one hand and suddenly smashed the ashtray on Anhao¡¯s head with the other. Anhao saw Lisa¡¯s actions and wanted to resist, but she temporarily gathered all her strength into Lisa¡¯s resisting hand. The moment her forehead was hit, her vision turned black, and blood instantly flowed down her forehead. Seeing that Anhao had fallen onto the sofa weakly and could not move for a while, Lisa turned around and gave the two men a look.¡±Hurry up and take it off for her!¡± The two men saw the blood on her head and saw that she seemed to have fainted from the impact. Although she had only fainted for a few seconds, they saw that the woman on the sofa, whose face was covered in blood, was frowning faintly. She was about to wake up so soon. They walked over hesitantly and made sure that she really had no ability to resist. They simply reached out to take off her clothes. Anhao¡¯s head hurt so much that she almost lost all feeling in her body. However, when she felt the two men coming over to take off her clothes again, she frowned, but she no longer had the ability to resist. She only opened her eyes slightly and looked at them. She felt that her clothes had been torn apart again, almost revealing her underwear. Her heart throbbed in pain, but her mind was in a mess, leaving only darkness. Suddenly, the sound of the door being pushed open came from behind her. Anhao did not have the strength to get up to take a look. She could only hear Lisa¡¯s voice..¡±Mo Yunfei? Didn¡¯t you agree to throw her into your room after the photo shoot? What are you doing here now?¡± Chapter 631 - Chapter 631: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (8) Chapter 631: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (8) Translator: 549690339 ¡°l regret it. This move is indeed too f * cking despicable! ¡°Mo Yunfei walked in quickly. As the two men looked up in confusion, he suddenly took off his coat and threw it on Anhao, covering her exposed shoulders. ¡°MO Yunfei, you¡­¡± Lisa saw his actions and before she could finish her sentence, she saw him bend down and pick Gu Anhao up from the sofa, then turn around and leave. An Hao frowned in his arms. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at him, but there was no gratitude in her eyes. If he hadn¡¯t intervened today, Lisa wouldn¡¯t have been able to trick her into getting into the car so easily. Why was he pretending to be a good person now? However, seeing that he was able to take her away at the last moment, she resisted the urge to scold him. She only closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her head was extremely dizzy. If it wasn¡¯t for her last bit of willpower, she would have fainted completely. MO Yunfei also looked down at the blood on her forehead. He didn¡¯t notice that Lisa had injured her. He turned to Lisa, who was furious.¡±Didn¡¯t you just take a few photos to threaten her? What the f * Ck did you do to her?!¡± ¡°Who knows if the drug you put in the car was heavy or not? She actually had the strength to resist just now. If 1 didn¡¯t knock her unconscious, she would have jumped up long ago!¡± MO Yunfei glanced at Gu Anhao again. Seeing that she was about to collapse, he carried her out with a cold face. ¡°MO Yunfei!¡± Lisa quickly chased after him.¡±What are you doing? If we don¡¯t take a few photos to threaten her in the future, she will definitely call the police. At that time, we won¡¯t have anything to threaten her with. We will only have evidence that she can capture us. Do you want to go to jail?¡± ¡°l won¡¯t go to jail so easily. If I agree to help you this time, I¡¯ll f * cking be kicked in the head by a donkey! Aren¡¯t you afraid of killing someone with such a ruthless hand?¡±Mo Yunfei suddenly avoided Lisa¡¯s hand and carried Anhao out of the door without a word. Lisa didn¡¯t dare to make any more noise after they left the room. She followed MO Yunfei out, but when she saw MO Yunfei carrying Gu Anhao, who was already in a semi-conscious state, she stomped her feet in anger.¡±Bastard! How dare you ruin my business!¡± Hearing the curses behind him, MO Yunfei looked at the woman in his arms with an ugly expression.¡±¡±How do you feel?¡± Anhao hadn¡¯t completely fainted yet. She could only hear his voice in her daze. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at him coldly. She said weakly, ¡°I won¡¯t die.¡± MO Yunfei¡¯s mouth twitched.¡¯ ¡°Where are you taking me now?¡± Anhao sneered.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Lisa just said?¡± MO Yunfei raised his eyebrows. I originally planned to strip you naked and take a few photos of you before throwing you into my room. Now, I¡¯ve skipped the photo-taking process and went straight to my room.¡± Anhao immediately frowned. Seeing that he didn¡¯t seem to be joking, she said,¡±I thought you had thought it through and given up on your dirty business. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so shameless.¡± ¡°l was already interested in you in T City last time, and you attracted so much interest during the blind date. I waited until now to throw you on the bed and ravage you. This is already the limit of my patience. Do you think I¡¯ll let go of such a good opportunity today?¡± Anhao closed her eyes. She didn¡¯t have much strength. The blood on her forehead hadn¡¯t dried yet, and she could still feel the blood flowing. She was really afraid that the blood would dry up just like that. Although it wasn¡¯t likely, the degree of Lisa hitting her with the ashtray just now would probably give her at least a mild concussion in addition to the blood flowing from her head. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking? Before this young master completely pounced on you, shouldn¡¯t you be chattering non-stop to find various ways for me to let you go?¡±Mo Yunfei said coldly as he carried her to a room on the second floor. ¡°No strength.¡± Anhao let out a long breath and said, ¡°¡±Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m an old friend of your Uncle Mobai. If you really dare to do anything to me, do you believe that you won¡¯t even know how you died?¡± ¡°Mobai?¡± MO Yunfei snorted.¡± Even if he¡¯s my relative, he doesn¡¯t have much contact with my family. Besides, he¡¯s just the CEO¡¯s assistant for the time being. What can he do to me?¡±¡± ¡°What if your uncle¡¯s boss doesn¡¯t let you off?¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was faint. If one didn¡¯t listen carefully, one wouldn¡¯t be able to hear it clearly. MO Yunfei slowed down and heard you say that you have a relationship with Zuo Hancheng? Was it a lie to Lisa or was it true?¡± ¡°Would you believe me if I told you that I am the ex-wife of the Left Hand?¡±Anhao said lightly. MO Yunfei immediately laughed and said,¡±l can believe that you¡¯re his secret lover.¡¯ Anhao was speechless. The door was kicked open by him. Anhao narrowed her eyes. It was almost dark outside. When MO Yunfei lit up the lights in the room, he threw her on the bed and kicked the door shut. Anhao collapsed on the bed, unable to move. Her head hurt so much that she couldn¡¯t concentrate. She could only watch as MO Yunfei unbuttoned his tie and shirt, took off his clothes, and turned to walk into the bathroom. She turned her head again and saw a box of hotel condoms on the cabinet beside her. She tried to prop herself up with her hands. When she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, she looked around. The door was locked and the bathroom was right next to the door. If she escaped from there, MO Yunfei would definitely hear and chase after her. She turned to look at the window closest to the bed. This was the second floor of the hotel¡­ The sound of running water in the bathroom soon stopped. MO Yunfei wrapped a towel around herself and walked out. The moment she opened the door, she suddenly felt a gust of wind in the room. The door and windows were originally closed, so how could there be wind? He looked up abruptly and saw Gu Anhao¡¯s body already half out of the window. She did not have the strength to sit still on the window and was about to fall out of the window. Gu Anhao, what are you doing?¡± Anhao looked down. The second floor¡­ Hearing Mo Yunfei¡¯s voice, she turned around and looked at him, who had just taken a shower. Then she thought about how weak she was now, as well as Lisa and the men in the dark room. If she didn¡¯t run away quickly, she didn¡¯t know what would happen! ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Mo Yunfei rushed over angrily, but he was still a step too late. Seeing Anhao jump out of the window without hesitation, MO Yunfei rushed to the window. The moment she fell from the second floor, Anhao struggled to raise her head and endured the dizziness in her head. She could vaguely see Zuo Hanchengs SUV nearby.. Chapter 632 - Chapter 632: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng’s Woman (9) Chapter 632: How Dare You Touch Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Woman (9) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Why did this person fall from the top of the hotel¡­¡± ¡°Did you fall to your death?¡± ¡°There¡¯s blood¡­She!s bleeding¡­¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t seem to be dead. He seems to be able to move¡­ The passers-by were shocked to see someone fall from the second floor of the hotel. Most of the people started to surround them in this direction. Anhao was surrounded and could no longer see the car on the side of the road. She also felt that it might have been an illusion. Zuo Hancheng should still be on a business trip in Malaysia. How could he be here? The second floor wasn¡¯t high, but if it was serious, she would still be crippled. She didn¡¯t know if she would be crippled. She only knew that the moment her body landed on the ground, it felt like her entire body was about to be completely shattered. She barely managed to find her normal intuition from the pain. She had to escape from here immediately in case MO Yunfei ran out and took her away! ¡°Miss, are you alright?¡± Seeing that she could still move and was about to stand up with her hands on the ground, a bold man walked over and asked with concern. However, most of the comments were from the people around her. Anhao ignored them and only said to the people beside her, ¡±¡¯¡±¡®m fine. I won¡¯t die.¡± After saying that, she sat up bit by bit. No one dared to come forward to help her up, so she sat up on her own. She did not know how severe the pain on her body was. Anhao only frowned and ignored the place where she had fallen. The man beside her saw the wound on her forehead and the blood on her cheek when she got up and hurriedly took two steps back. In this world, people were afraid of being blackmailed by others, afraid of taking on unrelated responsibilities. Anhao, no wonder the world was so cold. Other than saving herself, there was no other way. Seeing that she still wanted to stand up, a few young university students in the crowd wanted to come over and help her, but they stopped under the dissuasion of others. Anhao didn¡¯t look at them and only supported herself with her hands on the wall behind her as she slowly stood up. ¡°Why did you fall from the hotel?¡±Although no one came to help her up, they still asked curiously. Anhao caressed her waist that was about to break. She looked around and said softly,¡±I accidentally fell from the second floor¡­¡±Seeing that she could still stand up, the onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only a few enthusiastic and curious people who continued to surround her. Anhao lowered her eyes to avoid their gazes and looked up at the window she had just fallen out of. She saw that the curtains had fluttered out, but MO Yunfei was no longer there. He was probably chasing after her. She staggered and turned to leave. The surrounding crowd automatically made way for her. Someone asked,¡±Are you going to the hospital? Shall we help you hail a cab?¡± The speeding SUV on the road had suddenly braked. Mobai, who was driving, saw the person who had suddenly fallen out of the window of the hotel and quickly parked the car in that direction. Before the car could stop, Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting in the back, had already rushed out of the door. Anhao had just walked to the side of the road. She did not know how to hail a taxi because she had lost her phone and bag. Suddenly, she saw Zuo Hanchengs figure appear in her field of vision. His face turned cold and there was a shock that could not be hidden under his cold expression. As soon as she saw Zuo Hancheng, Anhao felt that her tense nerves had softened in an instant. All her willpower and the opinion that supported her to escape from the predicament gradually dissipated, leaving only grievances and hatred. If she hadn¡¯t been stalling for time, if Nio Yunfei hadn¡¯t been soft-hearted enough to bring her out, if she hadn¡¯t jumped off the building without fear of death, how would she have been able to live peacefully in the future? Just as Anhao was falling down weakly, Zuo Hancheng had already rushed forward to catch her body and pulled her into his arms. He looked down at the wound on her forehead, the blood on her cheek, and all the wounds on her body. He frowned and said,¡±¡±What happened?¡± Did he not know that she was here before? Could it be that he was passing by and saw her from above¡­ Anhao did not know if this coincidence was fate or if she was destined to be unable to hide from Zuo Hanchengs sight every time she was embarrassed. Initially, she did not want to cry in such a dangerous situation, but now her nose was sore and her eyes were hot as she leaned her head weakly into his arms. She had no strength left and her voice was soft and hoarse.¡±Bring me away from this place first¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, her feet had already left the ground. Zuo Hancheng had already picked her up by the waist. When he turned around and carried her to the car, he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at MO Yunfei, who had already come out of the hotel. When MO Yunfei ran out and saw Zuo Hancheng, his eyes were filled with shock. Even though MO Yunfei did not run over, Zuo Hancheng saw MO Yunfei¡¯s expression and saw that he had only wrapped himself in a bathrobe in a hurry. His dark eyes swept across his face coldly and dangerously. Anhao did not see the killing intent in Zuo Hanchengs eyes. She only felt that she did not have to force herself to endure anymore. Those so-called medicinal effects, that intense pain on her head, could finally knock her down in an instant, could finally¡­He temporarily relaxed. Mobai had already recognized the person in front of the hotel. When Zuo Hancheng walked over with Anhao in his arms, he quickly went to open the car door for her. He saw that Anhao had already fainted in Zuo Hanchengs arms. He saw that her clothes were in a mess and there was blood on her forehead. He thought about the scene where she fell down from the top of the hotel building and wondered what had happened to her. Fortunately, President Zuo had brought back his flight half a day earlier, so he could make it back now. Otherwise, if something like this happened to Anhao and they couldn¡¯t make it, the consequences would be unimaginable. ¡°President Zuo¡­¡± Mobai glanced at Zuo Hancheng. ¡°To the hospital!¡± Zuo Hancheng placed Anhao in the car and covered her with his coat. He glanced at the wound on her forehead and suddenly looked coldly at the hotel that was rapidly retreating outside the window. Mobai immediately turned the car around and drove towards the People¡¯s Hospital. As he drove, he would look at Anhao through the rearview mirror from time to time. Her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The blood on her cheek was even more distinct compared to her face. When their car had arrived at the People¡¯s Hospital, a few police cars were speeding in the direction they had just passed. When Mobai saw that the person sitting in front of the police car was Huang Amao, who had an anxious look on his face, he immediately turned back to look at Zuo Hancheng, whose face was filled with a murderous aura. ¡°Did Anhao call the police herself?¡±As he spoke, Mobai looked at the wound on Anhao¡¯s head through the rearview mirror.. Chapter 633 - Chapter 633: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (1) Chapter 633: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It looks like he was deliberately injured by something. ¡°Mobai observed Anhao¡¯s injuries through the rearview mirror. He didn¡¯t know how MO Yunfei was related to Anhao. The little tyrant who had been spoiled by his family since he was young grew up to be a scumbag who harmed women everywhere. He was a relative whom he had not contacted for hundreds of years, but he did not expect him to be so well involved. From time to time, Mobai¡¯s gaze would fall on Anhao¡¯s face through the rearview mirror, but Anhao remained unconscious. ¡°President Zuo.¡± Mobai calmed himself down and said,¡±The person in front of the hotel just now¡­¡± ¡°MO Yunfei, your relative?¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted him coldly. Niobai paused for a moment and frowned.¡± A relative that I haven¡¯t contacted for a long time. If President Zuo wants to investigate, you can start with me. You should be able to find out soon.¡¯ ¡°Investigate.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at him expressionlessly. At this moment, a car suddenly sped over. Mobai quickly braked, and Anhao, who was lying on the seat, almost fell off. Zuo Hancheng grabbed her weak body and lifted her up. He held her in his arms and covered her with his clothes again. He looked down at Anhao, who was motionless in his arms. His cold eyes seemed calm and cold, but Mobai knew Zuo Hancheng too well. He could see the gloom in Zuo Hanchengs eyes and could predict MO Yunfei¡¯s ending. ¡°After sending Anhao to the hospital, I¡¯ll immediately investigate.¡±Mobai was also worried about Anhao¡¯s injuries. Although Anhao had fainted, the sudden brake and the warmth around her helped her regain some consciousness. She frowned slightly and her head, which was resting in Zuo Hanchengs arms, moved slightly. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Zuo Hanchengs cold face. However, his expression was cold. She did not know where she had hurt herself when she fall fell just now, but she felt that her internal organs were uncomfortable and her chest was in pain. She wanted to speak, but she coughed first. Zuo Hancheng pressed her body down as she struggled to sit up. His voice was cold and solemn.¡±Don¡¯t move. Let¡¯s go to the hospital first.¡± Anhao shook her head gently. It seemed like¡­ 1 heard the sound of a police car¡­¡± Without waiting for Zuo Hancheng to hold her down, Anhao coughed again and whispered,¡±¡®Help me¡­Call Huang Amao¡­ The phone¡­ Tell her¡­The hotel was not peaceful¡­ Tell her not to take the risk¡­ After she finished speaking, Anhao felt as if her chest was about to split open. She did not have the strength to speak anymore. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she was about to close them again. Zuo Hancheng hugged her in his arms and held her hand with his other hand. Just as Anhao was about to fall asleep, he suddenly exerted force on her. Anhao immediately woke up from the pain and opened her eyes slightly to look at Zuo Hancheng. She could not see any panic or anger in his eyes, but she could see the killing intent hidden under the calm surface in his dark and cold eyes. She took a few deep breaths and wanted to speak, but she could not. She wanted to ask, why did he return to the country early? Just as she was trying her best to break free from her predicament, he appeared in front of her as if he had descended from the sky. Anhao wanted to ask him if he had installed some kind of signal device on her. Otherwise, why would he appear by her side every time she was in danger? It was like this three years ago, and it was still the same three years later. Anhao did not have the strength to speak or move. She just leaned into Zuo Hanchengs arms and let him hug her, letting her hand hurt from his grip. ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t worry. We saw Huang Mao bring a few police cars over. She¡¯ll be fine.¡±Mobai broke the silence. Anhao came back to her senses and slightly turned her face to look at Mobai. Seeing that Anhao was still holding on, Mobai sighed.¡±¡±lf MO Yunfei really dared to do anything to you, our MO family will not let him off. Don¡¯t worry, we will definitely get justice for you.¡± Anhao really did not need to endure the pain to explain herself. From her messy clothes, her abnormally pale face, and how she jumped down from the second floor of the hotel without any regard for her life, Zuo Hancheng and Mobai knew what kind of personality she had. Therefore, they did not need to ask to guess what had happened before she jumped down. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched slightly. She did not have the strength to thank him and slowly closed her eyes. However, before she could close her eyes weakly, she turned her head back and leaned into Zuo Hanchengs arms. Unknowingly, Anhao had fallen asleep again due to exhaustion. Mobai was still looking back through the rearview mirror, but he could only see that Anhao¡¯s hand was almost white from Zuo Hanchengs grip. They almost didn¡¯t manage to get there in time. They had been in such a dangerous situation for thousands of years. Anhao, who was covered in wounds but was strong enough to not cause trouble for anyone, was still thinking about not letting Huang Amao take the risk even after she was seriously injured. Who did MO Yunfei borrow the courage to touch her?! Mobai¡¯s heart was in a knot, and he couldn¡¯t help but speed up. Anhao was really afraid of the smell of disinfectant. Especially when she woke up in a place like the hospital, she instinctively remembered the doctor beside her who kept pressing her stomach. The moment she opened her eyes, she quickly looked around and found herself lying in a very elegant and quiet single ward. There was no one else in the ward. The sunlight shone in through the window, calming Anhao¡¯s anxious and restless mood. In the blink of an eye, she saw that there was an IV drip on her hand. The water in the IV drip slowly flowed into her blood vessels drop by drop. She could still feel the pain in all parts of her body. This was the true pain of being run over by a big car. The thrilling scenes before she fainted entered her mind. Anhao closed her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief. Now that she could lie here and stay in such a good ward, it seemed that she was not dreaming when she was saved by Zuo Hancheng before she fainted. She was really safe. At this moment, footsteps came from outside the ward. Anhao glanced at the door and saw that the door was suddenly pushed open. Huang Amao, who was wearing a police uniform, walked in with an icy expression. The nurse who followed behind her saw that she looked like someone from the police station and did not dare to stop her. However, she still turned around and called for someone to inform President Zuo¡¯s people as soon as possible. If anything happened, their hospital would be in deep trouble. Seeing Huang Amao¡¯s gloomy expression as he walked in quickly, Anhao¡¯s heart was completely at ease.¡±¡±You actually came to see me. It seems that nothing happened..¡± Chapter 634 - Chapter 634: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (2) Chapter 634: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (2) Translator: 549690339 Huang Amao¡¯s expression was ugly as he walked to the bedside.¡±¡±Why do you care if I¡¯m fine at a time like this? Why didn¡¯t you tell me that MO Yunfei harassed you?!¡± Anhao looked at her and pursed her lips.¡± I wanted to say it, but seeing that you¡¯re home, I didn¡¯t want you to have so many troubles when you¡¯re quarreling with your parents at home, so I didn¡¯t say it a few days ago. I didn¡¯t expect him to¡­¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, do you know that you¡¯re making me so anxious?¡±Huang Amao¡¯s eyes turned red.¡±¡±Fortunately, you brought your phone, but it seems that our police station didn¡¯t do much. When we found the location where your phone signal was cut off and rushed to the hotel, you were already gone. I only saw a little blood downstairs and heard the people around say that a girl about my age had fallen from above¡­Do you know that I was almost scared to death?¡± So she didn¡¯t come to visit him to comfort him, but to denounce him. Anhao rolled her eyes at her and gently raised her hand that was on the IV drip.¡±l¡¯m still half-dead, so don¡¯t shout at me.¡± Huang Amao said with reddened eyes,¡± The MO family has already offended Zuo Hancheng. Not only were my parents scared half to death, even Mobai is almost implicated. Gu Anhao, how did MO Yunfei fall for you? How could that playboy MO Yunfei be so stupid as to drug you?¡±!¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t his idea. It was the designer named Lisa. Of course, he was also involved¡­ Before Anhao could finish, Huang Amao interrupted her, ¡±¡±Yes, it¡¯s Lisa. She had already run out of the hotel. At that time, a group of onlookers outside the hotel suspected that something had happened in the hotel, so they directly pointed us in the direction. In less than half an hour, that woman and the gang she found were arrested.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng was in the ward with you when you were unconscious yesterday. This morning, the nurse said that you were fine, so he went straight to the police station.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name, Anhao looked at Huang Amao.¡¯¡± He doesn¡¯t know that you suddenly came to the hospital?¡± Huang Amao sniffed and wiped his face.¡±¡±Everyone is blaming me now, and I admit that it¡¯s my fault. Our captain didn¡¯t want me to disturb you, but Gu Anhao, I¡¯m too upset. I didn¡¯t expect things to turn out like this. It¡¯s useless to apologize now.¡± Seeing that she was so angry that she even stopped talking, Anhao didn¡¯t have much strength to talk nonsense with her. She only looked at the police uniform on her and said,¡±Then you should quickly become stronger. How can you help us commoners get rid of the bad guys by being a small operator? You should quickly kill monsters and level up so that you can have the chance to fight the BOSS yourself in the future, don¡¯t you think?¡± Huang Amao rolled his eyes at her. Then, he looked at the wound on Anhao¡¯s forehead. The tears that had been held back in his eyes suddenly fell. ¡°When the gang that Lisa brought confessed, they said that Lisa hit you hard on the head with an ashtray. You fainted at that time, right?¡± Anhao wondered why her head hurt so much. She probably really had a concussion. She didn¡¯t say anything and just looked at Huang Amao. Huang Amao seemed to have sensed something as well. He took a step back and said,¡±Alright, I just wanted to tell you when you wake up. I¡¯ll remember what happened to the MO family for the rest of my life. I won¡¯t let that bastard MO Yunfei off. If the MO family dares to protect him, our Huang family will rather fall out with them! I¡¯ll apologize to you after you¡¯re discharged! If you don¡¯t have the strength to speak, then don¡¯t say anything. Have a good rest. I¡¯ll leave first! ¡± After saying that, Huang Amao used his sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face as he turned around and walked out quickly. Anhao wanted to stop her from thinking too much. Lisa was also involved in this matter, and MO Yunfei was just one of the coincidences. Huang Amao didn¡¯t need to take all the responsibility on himself. However, she was walking too fast, and Anhao really didn¡¯t have the strength to talk. Besides, she was really sensitive to the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. She was not like this in the past. Ever since she and Zuo Hancheng had been in a car accident together, she had become especially sensitive to hospitals. Huang Amao had already left the room. Although she left very quickly and looked furious, she still closed the door carefully and softly without making too much noise to disturb Anhao. Is Zuo Hancheng in the police station now? How would he deal with Lisa and those people? Although MO Yunfei had MO Bai backing him up, the MO family was a big family in City A, but their reputation and status were not even comparable to the Han family. As the daughter of their family friend, Huang Amao was also pressuring the MO family. MO Yunfei was probably going to be completely crippled.. He wondered if this matter would affect Mobai. Earlier, Huang Amao seemed to have said that even Mobai was almost implicated. Anhao closed her eyes. Since there was no one in the ward, she wanted to take a good rest. However, the moment she closed her eyes, the scene of being locked in the car that day, the strange smell that entered her nose, and the gradual loss of strength in her body entered her mind. She opened her eyes again and felt uneasy. She wanted to sit up, but there was a nurse¡¯s voice outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open again, and the person who walked in was Lin Qing. ¡°When did you wake up?¡± Lin Qing saw that Anhao had woken up and walked over,¡±¡±Just now, the nurse said that a girl in a police uniform broke in and was afraid that something would happen, so she quickly told us. I guess it should be your friend who works in the police station, right? She had something to do with this matter, didn¡¯t she?¡± ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t have much to do with her. Moreover, she has already left.¡±Anhao said before she tried to sit up. Lin Qing came over and held her shoulder.¡± You can¡¯t move now. You should be glad that you didn¡¯t break a single bone in your body. The height of that hotel is much higher than that of a normal residential building. You jumped down from the window on the second floor, which is equivalent to the height of a normal residential building of at least three floors. It¡¯s a miracle that you can still stand up after that¡­¡± Anhao also felt that the fall was particularly painful, but she didn¡¯t consider how high it was. Now that she saw the heartache in Lin Qings eyes, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Surviving a disaster is bound to bring good fortune.¡± ¡°How many times have you survived? The blessing that was originally in front of you was pushed away by you.¡±Lin Qing said as he poured her a glass of water. He turned around and looked at her, ¡°¡±Although his bones weren¡¯t injured, he suffered some degree of bruises and shock from falling down.¡± Chapter 635 - Chapter 635: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’ s House (3) Chapter 635: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯ s House (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°The doctor has already applied medicine and bandaged you. You just woke up, so you should lie down obediently.¡± As he spoke, Lin Qing took a straw and put it into the cup. He walked over and brought it to Anhao¡¯s mouth,¡±¡±Drink some water. President Zuo and MO Bai will be back soon. What you need to do now is to rest well. President Zuo will handle everything for you, and he will definitely handle it to your satisfaction.¡¯ ¡°Will Mobai be implicated?¡± Anhao asked. Lin Qing smiled.¡± In life, you can¡¯t even choose your own parents, let alone a cousin. Although President Zuo will destroy the MO family, Mobai and that Young Master Mo t s family can only be considered distant relatives. They don¡¯t have much contact, so his mood will definitely be affected. Nothing else will happen.¡±¡± ¡°We also have to thank Mobai for finding MO Yunfei¡¯s whereabouts in the shortest time possible and capturing him before he could escape from China. Otherwise, this pursuit would have crossed the Pacific Ocean.¡± ¡± Actually, I wasn¡¯t careful enough. If I had been on guard against MO Yunfei earlier, this wouldn¡¯t have happened. In the end, I still caused you trouble¡­¡± Anhao said softly. She looked at the IV drip and then at Lin Qing,¡± I always say that I don¡¯t want to cause you any more trouble in the future, but it seems that ever since I returned to the country, Sister Lin Qing has been helping me vaguely¡­¡± ¡°Are we helping you or President zuo?¡± Lin Qing smiled.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze, and Lin Qing did not say anything more. He smiled and looked at the medicine in the drip,¡±¡±The medicine is almost gone. I¡¯ll call the nurse.¡¯ Anhao nodded. Lin Qing walked out of the ward and Anhao turned to look at the door of the ward. After looking for a long time, she turned to look at the afternoon sun outside the window. It was warm, as if all life force was desperately growing in the direction of the sun. When Zuo Hancheng came back, Anhao had fallen asleep again. Lin Qing told him about Anhao¡¯s condition after she woke up and said softly,¡±¡±Anhao was actually waiting for you before she fell asleep, but her body couldn¡¯t take it anymore, so she fell asleep.¡± When he heard Lin Qing say that Anhao had been waiting for him, Zuo Hancheng did not say anything and his expression did not change. Lin Qing turned around and walked out after reporting the various situations in the hospital, gently closing the door. It was already evening, and the ward was at the easternmost side, so it was already a little dark in the ward. Zuo Hancheng remained silent for a moment before he walked to the bedside. Anhao had been waiting for Zuo Hancheng to come back and thank him personally for saving her life once again. She wanted to say that she would never forget his great kindness. Of course, even if she was really emotional, she would not say it too bitterly. At most, she would just smooth things over a little so that Zuo Hancheng would not ask her how she got involved with MO Yunfei. At this moment, Anhao was really tired and had fallen asleep. Her eyelids were not obedient while she was waiting, and she really could not hold on any longer. When she fell asleep, she was still holding the phone that Lin Qing lent her, but she didn¡¯t call anyone. She wanted to call Zheng F to ask for sick leave, but she was too tired to remember, so she went straight to sleep. Anhao rolled over in her sleep, but she didn¡¯t. She did not have much strength and her entire body was in pain. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw darkness in the ward. The corridor of the hospital was also quiet. The window of the hospital was also much quieter than usual. From this silence, one could tell that it was at least the second half of the night. However, she could not turn her body over. It was as if someone was lying beside her, hugging her in his arms and sleeping with her. This was a hospital, so it shouldn¡¯t be possible, right? Was it a dream? She did not have much strength and energy to begin with. Anhao only opened her eyes in the darkness for a few seconds before she gradually closed them again. Instinctively, she leaned her head towards the direction of the warmth. Even though she could not turn over, she still found a comfortable position in that person¡¯s arms and continued to sleep¡­ Four days later. Anhao received a notice from the hospital that she could be discharged, but she needed to rest at home for a few days. It seemed that doctors always advised every patient to rest, but who had so much time to rest at home every day? She still had to go to work. She was already very embarrassed to suddenly take a few days of sick leave and be hospitalized. Before Anhao was discharged from the hospital, she called Zheng F, but the HR department of Zheng F passed the phone to Minister Qin. ¡°Anhao, President ZUo¡¯s assistant specially called us a few days ago to help you apply for leave. You don¡¯t have to rush to work. Besides, haven¡¯t you already finalized your design drawings with President zuo? Leave the rest to the others in your office. You can rest at home first. I¡¯ll allow you to take a week off. How about a paid vacation?¡± Such good treatment? Anhao was a little surprised when Zuo Hancheng walked in from outside the ward. She looked up at him in surprise and suspected that Minister Qin must have misunderstood something again. She said,¡±¡±Chief, I can actually be discharged today, and 1¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I know what you want to say.¡±Minister Qin smiled politely.¡±¡±Actually, what we should be most grateful for now is President Zuo¡¯s care. Otherwise, the reconstruction project wouldn¡¯t have gone so smoothly. Anhao, now we know that it was you who brought us this 800 million in financing. So, let alone a week of paid leave, even if you take a year of paid leave, we definitely won¡¯t say no!¡± Anhao immediately looked up at Zuo Hancheng in surprise. Minister Qin¡¯s change was definitely related to him. For some reason, she had an extra week of rest and recuperation. Anhao put down the phone.¡±Does Minister Qin already know about our relationship?¡± Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her. At this moment, a doctor came in and explained to Zuo Hancheng in detail what Anhao needed to pay attention to after she was discharged. Zuo Hancheng looked down at the details written in the doctor¡¯s hand as if he had not heard what Anhao had just said. Mobai suddenly glanced at Anhao and said softly,¡±¡±Last time, President Zuo had gastric problems. I called Minister Qin, but it caused him to misunderstand. In order to prevent them from looking at you with prejudice, I reminded him to read more news about President Zuo from three years ago.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She was obviously letting them find out about her relationship with Zuo Hancheng! In the blink of an eye, she saw Zuo Hancheng talking to the doctor calmly. She quickly interrupted,¡±Doctor, you don¡¯t have to say anything. I¡¯ll go home and rest well. It¡¯s just some bruises anyway, and my head doesn¡¯t hurt that much. If there¡¯s anything you need to pay attention to, just tell me..¡± Chapter 636 - Chapter 636: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (4) Chapter 636: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (4) Translator: 549690339 When the doctor heard Anhao¡¯s words, he looked at her and then at Zuo Hancheng, who looked calm.¡±¡±President Zuo, this¡­¡± ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t feel any pain?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao.¡± How could it not hurt? After all, she had jumped from such a high place. Even though the bruises on her body were much better, she still felt a slight pain in her chest. Most importantly, she had injured her waist back then, so her waist was still hurting. ¡°I¡¯m much better. Since the bones aren¡¯t broken, it¡¯s just a small injury. I can take care of myself, so Doctor, just tell me what I need to pay attention to. There¡¯s no need to trouble Zuo¡­ ¡± Miss Gu, although you can be discharged from the hospital now, it¡¯s best if you have someone to take care of you. At least, someone will be able to help you when you take something to cook or take a shower. There¡¯s nothing special about your body that you need to pay attention to now, but your injuries are not light either. It¡¯s best if you rest more and take a walk occasionally to recover the normal speed of movement between your bones and muscles. You can¡¯t lack people by your side now¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s expression turned awkward when she heard the word ¡®shower¡¯. Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, looked at the doctor coldly. The doctor understood and nodded at Zuo Hancheng. Then, he nodded at Anhao and Mobai, who were in the ward, and walked out with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not crippled. There¡¯s no need to specially find someone to take care of me.¡±Anhao said after the doctor had left. Zuo Hanchengs cold gaze landed on her face. Mobai, who was standing at the side, raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. He placed it by his mouth and cleared his throat gently. Then, he smiled, feeling that it was not appropriate for him to be here.¡±President Zuo, I¡¯ll go and settle Anhao¡¯s discharge procedures and follow-up treatment procedures first. I¡¯ll wait for you in the car.¡± Without waiting for Zuo Hanchengs reply, Mobai tactfully turned around and walked out. It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t tell that Mobai was deliberately making room for the two of them. Anhao watched as Mobai¡¯s figure flashed out of the ward door, and her temples twitched. However, the most important thing now was not the awkward atmosphere of the two of them alone in the ward, but whether she could go back to Hua Ting Private Park alone. ¡°Indeed, there¡¯s no need to specially find someone to take care of him.¡¯Zuo Hancheng finally replied when she looked at him again. Anhao immediately laughed.¡± I knew it. I¡¯m not crippled yet. At most, my waist still hurts a little. I¡¯ll be fine as long as I rest more. Besides, it doesn¡¯t take me much effort to carry things and cook. At most, I¡¯ll just eat takeout. There are many nutritious, healthy, and clean takeout nowadays. I don¡¯t need to specially¡­¡± ¡°You can move directly to my place.¡± Zuo Hanchengs cold voice interrupted her self-comforting words. Anhao suddenly looked at him in surprise. Only then did she realize that he hadn¡¯t finished his sentence. Indeed, there was no need to specially find someone to take care of her. So, she moved to her place directly? ¡°Why?¡± Anhao was shocked. It¡¯s not like I need someone to accompany me or take care of me after giving birth. Look at me, I can get out of bed and walk around casually. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about her resistance. He did not have any emotions when Anhao deliberately got off the bed and walked back and forth. When she was already in front of him, Zuo Hanchengs dark gaze fell on her face. It was not reliable for her to live in Zuo Hanchengs place! Too unreliable! ¡°Look at me, I¡¯m no different from usual¡­ ¡°You need to be taken care of, and I happen to be suffering from insomnia and need your company. That¡¯s the difference.¡±Zuo Hanchengs eyes were calm, and there was an irresistible deterrence in them. Anhao took a deep breath.!¡±Did she hear wrongly? ¡°Don¡¯t you need to rest too?¡± ¡°My break was also a forced leave from Minister Qin when he called just now. I was originally planning to go back to work! I¡¯m not going to the construction site, nor am I doing any physical labor. It doesn¡¯t matter if I just sit in the office. Wasn¡¯t it your intention for him to suddenly give me a break?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at her with his dark eyes. He did not seem to have any intention of denying her. ¡°So the purpose of letting me take a break is to let me accompany you? Then what am l? Sleeping pills? Sleeping pills also have their own thoughts, okay? Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re using the ¡°Accompany me, double the salary.¡± ¡°.?!!¡±Anhao¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief ¡°Three times.¡¯ Anhao did not speak. Zuo Hancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and had no intention of raising the price. Wait, why was she raising the price? She clearly didn¡¯t plan to stay at his house, okay? ¡± Although the temptation of money is indeed a temptation to me, Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t be so shameless. Using money as a temptation is clearly a kind of transaction. I almost lost my life a few days ago, and now you¡¯re using this method to negotiate with me. Isn¡¯t that a little too unreasonable?¡± ¡°Five times.¡± Anhao started to hiccup, probably choked by the words she swallowed. ¡°Let¡¯s change the topic.¡±Anhao raised her hand and made a gesture to stop, saying, ¡°¡±Where is that MO Yunfei now? Actually, I don¡¯t really know him. I can only say that it was an unexpected natural disaster. At that time, I just wanted to help Huang Amao¡­¡± ¡°l know.¡± Before she finished explaining, Zuo Hancheng turned around and walked out. Anhao looked at his back in surprise. She was still standing there with a confused expression on her face when Zuo Hancheng walked out of the ward. He knew? What did he know? Did he know how she and MO Yunfei met? Did she know how she had provoked MO Yunfei? How could he know? Anhao was stunned for a moment before she quickly opened the door and walked out. She saw Zuo Hancheng walking into the doctor¡¯s office not far away from the hospital corridor. Mobai happened to have just returned from completing a procedure. Seeing Anhao standing at the door in a daze, he walked over.¡±¡±President Zuo already made an appointment with Dr. Zhao yesterday to meet this morning. Why did you come out?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯d wait for us in the car after you¡¯re done with the procedures?¡±Anhao asked. Mobai chuckled.¡± I haven¡¯t finished the procedures yet. I remembered that there were still some medical reports left in the ward area. I came back to get them.¡±¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Anhao was still in a daze when she saw that Mobai was about to leave. She quickly asked,¡±¡±Mobai, how did Zuo Hancheng know about me and MO Yunfei? Did you say something at the police station? Or did MO Yunfei say something to you?¡± Mobai stopped in his tracks and looked at Anhao meaningfully.¡±¡±Actually, I only found out about this when I listened to their interrogation records at the police station.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°President Zuo was also at the cafe the day you went on a blind date with MO Yunfei.. Chapter 637 - Chapter 637: Go to Zuo Hancheng’s House to Stay (5) Chapter 637: Go to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House to Stay (5) Translator: 549690339 ¡°President Zuo was also at the cafe the day you went on a blind date with MO Yunfei.¡¯ Anhao was speechless. After Mobai finished speaking, he turned around and left with the unfinished paperwork in his hand. Anhao stood in front of the ward door like a wax statue in a daze for a long time. Then, she turned to look at the doctor¡¯s office that Zuo Hancheng had just entered. She pushed the door open and walked in mechanically. She vaguely remembered that the person who was in the other room suddenly sat next to them that day. Could it be Zuo Hancheng? Did he see her dressing when he looked outside? Heavens! Anhao raised her hand and knocked hard on her head. As the wound on her forehead had not completely healed, her head hurt even more. She quickly walked to the bedside and threw herself on the bed, trying hard to digest the fact. How many things did Zuo Hancheng not know about her? Could it be that he already knew that she was staying at Luxury Court? Logically speaking, he shouldn¡¯t care if there were strangers living in these properties, but it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn¡¯t notice her strange whereabouts and have already found out where she lived¡­ If it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, it¡¯s true You¡¯re just pretending to be a sleeping pill. Gu Anhao, do you want to put down your moral integrity and agree to this? However, it seemed that even if she did not agree, Zuo Hancheng would definitely ask Mobai to drive the car to the Eternal Ocean City. Anhao pulled up the pillow on the bed to cover her head and tried hard to think of a countermeasure. As she thought about it, she suddenly remembered what Lin Qing had said before. Then, she remembered what Mobai had said. Bai Weiwei indeed had feelings for Zuo Hancheng¡­ She also recalled the moment when Zuo Hancheng suddenly appeared in front of her when she staggered to the side of the road outside the hotel with injuries all over her body. She felt as if she had completely let go of all her burdens in that instant and relaxed as she allowed herself to fall¡­ If she did not trust him completely, she did not know how long she could have lasted. However, the moment she saw Zuo Hancheng, it was as if the stormy world had turned calm in an instant. If Zuo Hancheng had really been waiting for her to return, she would not have rejected him. After all, she did not have the courage to do so back then. But who could push Zuo Hancheng away? Once, twice, thrice¡­Actually, he had long lost control of his heart. However, he was the one who used her as a sleeping pill! To her, this kind of role-playing¡­lt was an indescribable awkwardness and she didn¡¯t know how to handle it. Anhao fell asleep as she lay on the bed. She only slept for a short while. When she woke up, the discharge procedures had already been completed. When Zuo Hancheng returned to the ward to pick her up, Anhao was still not fully awake. She looked at him in a daze and only heard him say that he wanted her to be discharged. She nodded and waited for him to go out before changing out of her hospital gown. When she finally walked out of the hospital, her half-awake mind finally cleared up. However, she was already in Zuo Hanchengs car. Mobai was driving while she and Zuo Hancheng sat in the back. Anhao raised her hand and touched the spot on her forehead where Lisa had hit her with the ashtray. The gauze had been removed, but there was still some yellow medicine on it. It must have looked extremely ugly now. She then sneaked a glance at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was reading a few documents that had been thrown on the seat in the car. From her angle, she could see that it was a cooperation letter between Shengling Group and a certain domestic Multinational Corporation. After she glanced at it, she felt Zuo Hanchengs hand that was flipping through the documents pause for a moment. She immediately turned her eyes away from him alertly and looked out the window. As expected, Mobai was still Zuo Hanchengs confidant. The car was obviously heading in the direction of Heng Hai City. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, and Anhao noticed his gaze from the corner of her eye. She quickly turned her eyes away and continued to look out of the car window. She said to Mobai,¡±¡±Mo Bai, that MO Yunfei is your relative, right? Is he your nephew or something? Did this matter really affect you?¡± While she was talking to Mobai, Zuo Hancheng had already continued to read the documents in his hands. Anhao stole a glance at him again and saw that Zuo Hanchengs hand had paused again, so she quickly averted her gaze. ¡± It doesn¡¯t seem to have any effect at the moment. Although President Zuo is furious, he shouldn¡¯t implicate the innocent. Even if my surname is MO, I should¡­ ¡°Next month, I¡¯ll hand over the inspection project to you in the northern part of India.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly rang out in the car, but his eyes were still fixed on the letter in his hand. Mobai¡¯s face instantly turned bitter, but he couldn¡¯t say a single word of complaint. Outpost? Three months in northern India? This was already a very cruel punishment for the CEO¡¯s special assistant who usually followed Zuo Hancheng around and had a stable and safe job! Anhao silently mourned for Mobai in her heart. She even suspected that she had randomly found a topic to chat about and caused trouble for Mobai. Anhao looked apologetically in Mobai¡¯s direction. As Mobai drove, he said with a bitter face,¡±¡±President Zuo, didn¡¯t you reject the project in northern India? Why don¡¯t I go over and take a look at the project in Korea¡­¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Hancheng closed the document in his hand and looked up. His cold gaze landed on the back of Mobai¡¯s head.¡±You don¡¯t want to go to the project in northern India. How about the project in Africa?¡± ¡°..¡±Mobai¡¯s originally handsome face instantly scrunched up into a bun. Anhao was holding back her laughter. Although Mobai might have been implicated in her matter, it was MO Yunfei¡¯s relative who had brought him misfortune. MO Yunfei was his nephew. MO Yunfei did not know how Zuo Hancheng was going to deal with him, but he reckoned that the MO family would never be able to rise again in A City. Zuo Hancheng did not exterminate Mobai¡¯s entire family. He only sent Mobai to India or Africa. He was probably very considerate of their many years of revolutionary friendship. The car would pass by Shengling Group before heading to Henghai City. Anhao thought that it was just passing by, but she didn¡¯t expect Mobai to suddenly stop the car in front of Shengling Group¡¯s plaza. ¡°President Zuo, the international business group from Bailin Financial will arrive at the company this afternoon. They specially came from Taiwan and can only stay for a few hours at most. They will rush to Shanghai on the evening flight. Do you want to see them now, or¡­¡± Hearing that Zuo Hancheng had something on, Anhao quickly said,¡±¡±Then you guys go ahead. I¡¯ll take a taxi back myself.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng put down the letter in his hand and said softly,¡±¡±Ask Lin Qing to bring Anhao to my office..¡± Chapter 638 - Chapter 638: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (6) Chapter 638: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (6) Translator: 549690339 Anhao wanted to say that there was no need for her to go to his office, but Zuo Hancheng got out of the car after he said that. Anhao wanted to say no, but it was too late. Mobai also looked like he was in a hurry. No wonder he did not slow down or distract himself when Zuo Hancheng said that he was going to send him to Africa. It turned out that something had happened at the company. When Anhao finally got off the car, Lin Qing gave her a call and told her to wait for her on the first floor. When they reached the first floor, Zuo Hancheng had already entered the VIP elevator with a few assistants and went to the floor where the conference room was located. Under such circumstances, it was indeed inconvenient for Anhao to go with them. She had also heard of Bailin Financial Group from Taiwan. It was said to be the second largest financial company in Asia. Although Shengling Group had strong financial resources, business leaders also liked to work together. Bailin Financial Group was the financial company that Shengling Group had wanted to cooperate with the most for many years. Moreover, they had rushed over at the last minute. Their sincerity was obvious. If Zuo Hancheng just left them there, it would indeed be very against the rules of the business world. But why did she go to his office¡­ Lin Qing came down to pick Anhao up and brought her to Zuo Hanchengs office. He treated her like one of his own and let her rest inside. He didn¡¯t specially accompany her or supervise her. The large office didn¡¯t look any different from many years ago, but there were still some differences. Anhao didn¡¯t pay much attention to it when she came to deliver the design drawings last time. Now, she sat alone in the office for a while and was about to get up when the door suddenly opened. Lin Qing came in with a glass of fruit juice.¡± I just asked the assistant in the secretary¡¯s office to buy some fruit juice for you. Drink it first. If you need anything, just call me, I¡¯ll be in the secretary¡¯s office,¡±¡± ¡°The people from Bailin Financial are here. Don¡¯t you have to go with them?¡±Anhao asked. ¡°l should have gone. Mobai and 1 would usually be there for such an occasion, but President Zuo specially asked me to send you to the office. Obviously, you¡¯re more important than Bai Lin Financial.¡± Anhao was speechless for a moment. Lin Qing smiled and left. Obviously, you¡¯re more important than Bailin Financial¡­ Although she knew that Lin Qing was a sweet talker, he was indeed a talent to be able to speak so beautifully and hit her heart time and time again. It was only four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. The sunlight shone through the huge French windows in the office. Anhao got up and walked over. She stood in front of the window and looked into the distance. When she looked into the distance, she suddenly thought of something. She looked forward and took out the new phone that Mobai had bought for her. She opened the map of A City and looked at the location and direction of Hua Ting Private Garden on the map. Then, she looked up. He could actually see the direction of the private estate from here. It was daytime now, so it looked a little blurry. After all, it was very far away. However, if it was night time, Zuo Hancheng should be able to see her when she turned on the lights. Would he notice that? Would they notice that someone had suddenly lived in the house that had been uninhabited for many years? Would they notice that the house would light up at night? Anhao stared at the window in surprise for a long time. She stared in the direction of the private villa, her mind filled with the scene of her standing in front of the window and looking out. Did she and Zuo Hancheng look at each other without knowing each other? When she opened the curtains and looked out, could he see her from here? Of course, they couldn¡¯t see it from so far away. At most, they could see the lights¡­ However, Anhao still felt that this feeling was very subtle. It was as if she had never left Zuo Hanchengs world. It was as if she had always been in his world. Just as he was lost in his thoughts and time was passing by, the computer screen on Zuo Hanchengs desk suddenly lit up and a very soft notification sounded. Anhao heard the voice and turned around abruptly. She saw the time displayed on the computer screen. 5:30 PM. However, the time in Boston, the United States, was marked on the side. It was 5:30 in the morning. It was five and a half days in the morning, the time she woke up every morning when she was studying in Boston. Although her major in architectural design was not particularly related to many of the things she had learned in China, she still needed to study some basic computing knowledge. After all, her previous grades were very poor. Therefore, she had to spend twice as much time on tutoring as others. Every day, he would wake up before dawn at 5:30 am. Every day, he would make up for English vocabulary, architectural statistics, and some calculation methods. Every day, he would make up for it until 7:30 am. Then, he would go out with his roommates to eat breakfast and prepare for class. Why did Zuo Hanchengs computer suddenly pop up with this notification at 5:30 pm? 5:30 was not exactly the same time. Other than the time she woke up every day in America, there was nothing special about it. Anhao stared at the computer for a long time, and a strange thought drove her to turn on Zuo Hanchengs computer. The moment she touched the keyboard, the prompt disappeared. His computer was not turned on just now, but it was installed with some unknown software. Even when it was turned off, a prompt would suddenly pop up. She turned on the computer and saw that the file was a password. It was his work computer in the company. She had never tried to unlock the password, so she gave up on the idea and just stared at the computer screen. He thought about the notification at 5:30 a. m. It was 5:30 pm in Boston, USA. It was as if something had instantly drilled into her heart, which was already gradually cracking. An indescribable feeling filled the bottom of her heart. However, Anhao could not say anything. She sat on the leather chair behind Zuo Hanchengs desk and stared at the computer screen without moving. Half an hour later, at six o¡¯clock, there was no notification on the computer. At 6:30, there was no notification. It could be seen that this notification would only sound at 5:30 pm. Gradually, Anhao sat on the desk, as if she had discovered something, but also as if she hadn¡¯t. She just leaned back on the leather chair and looked up at the office. Finally, her gaze fell on a very thick blue file box on the desk. Anhao usually had no interest in reading the business letters of Shengling Group, but when she saw that it was written about several construction projects in recent years, she didn¡¯t know what drove her to reach out and take it. He opened the box and saw the neat and tidy documents inside. He picked up the first one and saw the time and funds that Zuo Hancheng had officially invested in the construction industry three years ago.. Chapter 639 - Chapter 639: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (7) Chapter 639: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (7) Translator: 549690339 Although Shengling Group was involved in the construction industry, they did not dig deeper. Why did they suddenly start investing in the construction industry three years ago? Taking advantage of the waiting time, he roughly read through all the contents of the box. After she finished reading, Anhao slowly put the box back to its original position, but she stood by the desk without moving. After Zuo Hancheng sent her abroad, he sent someone to arrange for her to enter the School of Construction and Design. In the same year, he officially invested most of his capital into the construction industry. Two years ago, Zuo Hancheng had successfully obtained the project to renovate the gymnasium and cultural center from Bai Weiwei, the newly appointed deputy director of the Construction Bureau. The government had been waiting for him to get the funding, but Zuo Hancheng, who had always been generous, did not immediately start the renovation after spending a lot of money to get the project. The project was put on hold for another two years. Finally, the project started and the 800 million yuan in funding was received the month she graduated from the United States. Anhao remembered that the day she graduated in America was April 25th. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s project had been funded, and the day the project was officially announced was April 26th. She didn¡¯t plan to come back at first, but she chose to return to China less than a month after graduation. Before she returned to China, she coincidentally heard about the reconstruction project arranged by the government in City A. At that time, she didn¡¯t know who the investor was. She only knew that the government had also injected funds into it, and it was a very large-scale financing. Therefore, before she came back, she had already thought of her plans after she returned to the country. However, she did not expect that she would be walking into the reconstruction project that Zuo Hancheng had specially left for her. One was a coincidence, and two were coincidences. However, the more coincidences, the more suspicions and traps she had. No matter how careless and thoughtless Anhao was, she finally knew why Zuo Hancheng suddenly invested in the construction industry. He finally knew why he had been interacting more and more with the Construction Bureau since two years ago. He had prepared such a big architectural design project two years ago, but he had to wait until she graduated and returned to China. Anhao looked out of the office silently. Through the glass window, she looked at the quiet corridor. There was no one there. Anhao still did not know what Zuo Hancheng had done for the past three years. His indifference and heartlessness for the past three years made her not dare to try to turn back. She did not dare to think about the possibility of getting married again, nor did she dare to get close to Zuo Hancheng. She did not dare to think too much about herself. However, she had never known that Zuo Hancheng had spent more than eight hundred million yuan in the past three years. He had waited for her to come back in such a way that she did not notice. He had paved the way for her to return to the country after graduation. If he hadn¡¯t asked Lin Qing to send her to his office at the last minute, if she hadn¡¯t gotten bored of waiting and picked up the document box to read, when was he planning to let her know about all this? Or perhaps, he did not plan to let her know for the rest of his life? Anhao placed her hand on the desk. She felt that the sky was gradually darkening and the lights in the office were lit. She looked up and saw Lin Qing turning on the lights outside. He waved at Anhao through the glass window and smiled as he turned around to continue working in the secretary¡¯s office. The lights were too bright, and Anhao suddenly turned to look at the French windows behind her. In the distance, she looked in the direction of the private villa in the dark. Even though the lights were not on, Anhao suddenly smiled. Gu Anhao, how stupid are you to only realize it now¡­ She had even pretended to be in front of him time and time again. She had even asked him to park his car in front of the bank. She had even run away when Zuo Hancheng suggested going to Luxury Court Private Park to take a look. With her intelligence, she was getting more and more inferior to Zuo Hancheng. It¡¯s already eight o¡¯clock. Why isn¡¯t he back yet? After waiting in the office for more than three hours, Anhao wanted to go out and ask Lin Qing. Although he knew that it was rare for Bailin Financial to come here, and Zuo Hancheng might chat with them until very late, if it was too long, he would definitely let her go back first instead of letting her wait aimlessly here. A few days ago, he had intentionally made her wait, but that was clearly not the case now. Just as he was about to walk to the door, Lin Qing suddenly pushed the door open and walked in with two boxes of takeout in his hands.¡±¡±President Zuo had already finished his meeting with Bailin Finance half an hour ago, but there¡¯s an emergency at the factory of a technology project that needs to be dealt with. President Zuo is currently dealing with it downstairs, so you might need to wait a little longer.¡± Lin Qing said as he placed the two boxes of food in front of Anhao,¡±¡±President Zuo told me to buy you some food before he went downstairs. He said that if you¡¯re tired, you can go to the lounge to sleep after eating. The password to the lounge hasn¡¯t changed.¡± ¡°What emergency? Factory? Is there a worker causing trouble? Anhao didn¡¯t look at the takeout. Her heart was filled with a lot of things at the moment, so she wasn¡¯t in the mood to eat. Although it was already time to eat, she didn¡¯t feel hungry at all. ¡°Half a year ago, Shengling signed a technology research and development contract with Wanhai Organization, which is invested by Shengling Group. Wanhai Organization is responsible for the research and development of technology and all aspects of the technology museum, including the production plant and factory of similar electronic products.¡± ¡± But now, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with the boss of Wanhai, but he has delayed the wages of their technology research and development workers for more than three months. These workers couldn¡¯t find the person in charge of Wanhai Organization to ask for money, so they suddenly joined forces and came to Shengling Group to cause trouble. After all, we are the investor and partner of this research and development. These workers think that if they can¡¯t find the person in charge of Wanhai Organization, they can still come here to ask for money. At this moment, dozens of workers are causing trouble downstairs. President Zuo went to deal with this matter.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t hear any commotion downstairs. She turned around and looked outside before turning to look at Lin Qing.¡±How many people? Is it dangerous?¡± ¡°About fifty or sixty people. It¡¯s not a lot, but it¡¯s not a lot either. Don¡¯t worry, Shengling is such a big company, and we¡¯ve been in the country for so many years. It¡¯s not like we haven¡¯t had trouble before. There were spies in our company before, but they were all easily solved by President Zuo. This person is famous and has a lot of trouble. The company is so big, there must be more things than you think.¡± Anhao was a little worried.¡± If the workers cause trouble, what if something happens?¡± ¡°The smashing has already happened. If those workers didn¡¯t rush in unreasonably and smash the front desk on the first floor, President Zuo wouldn¡¯t have come personally.¡± When Anhao heard that, she walked around the desk and quickly walked out.¡±¡±That serious? I¡¯ll go down and take a look.¡± Chapter 640 - Chapter 640: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (8) Chapter 640: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (8) Translator: 549690339 When Lin Qing caught up to Anhao, she had already entered the elevator. In the elevator, Lin Qing repeatedly reminded Anhao to just look around and not care about these things. The company¡¯s security and related departments would settle this matter. Anhao knew what Lin Qing was worried about.¡± Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not an impulsive high school student anymore. Since Zuo Hancheng has personally stepped in, I¡¯m just going to take a look at the situation. Otherwise, I¡¯ll only be worried about the higher-ups.¡± Only then did Lin Qing nod his head in relief. When the elevator reached the second floor, Lin Qing dragged Anhao out. He didn¡¯t let her go to the scene of trouble on the first floor, lest Anhao, who had just been discharged, was accidentally affected. If she was injured, Lin Qing would be the sinner of history and could pack up and leave the company. There was a long corridor in the middle of the second floor. From the fence, she could see the situation on the first floor. Anhao looked down and indeed saw fifty to sixty workers making a racket below. The scene on the first floor had been brought under control. Because there were security guards and staff around to comfort and mediate, the scene of the smashing had become much quieter. However, there were still some men and women in the middle who were arguing about asking for wages. Anhao did not see Zuo Hancheng, so she turned to look at Lin Qing. Lin Qing said,¡± President Zuo¡¯s method of resolving this matter isn¡¯t to stand in the middle of the crowd and explain. Since they came to cause trouble, there must be someone who took the lead. Now, the two people who took the lead to cause trouble have been brought to meet President Zuo alone. It has already been a while. Nothing will happen. Don¡¯t worry.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng was a man who often planned everything under his calm facade, so Anhao was naturally at ease with him. For the past three years, he had laid such a big net for her. What was there to worry about when a mere worker caused trouble? However, these workers had come at the wrong time. She was so moved that she wanted to have a good talk with Zuo Hancheng when she went back at night. Now, her emotions and doubts had disappeared in an instant, leaving only helplessness towards these workers. A female employee who was also leaning on the side whispered,¡±These workers from Wanhai are all lawless, right? Even if our company has a partnership with Wanhai, it¡¯s only project finance. We¡¯ve already paid the money we should have paid. We haven¡¯t even gotten the profits we should have, and Wanhai¡¯s employees have already come to our company to ask for money. Could the person in charge of Wanhai have taken the money and gone overseas to have fun?¡± ¡± I heard that President Zuo personally signed the contract with Wanhai. President Zuo has always been a good judge of character. He wouldn¡¯t easily give a company that he doesn¡¯t trust. Something must have happened to Wanhai, and they didn¡¯t have a real leader in the company for a while. The person who ran away with the money must be someone from the finance department. Now that something like this has happened, these people have no choice but to come to our company. After all, they¡¯re partners¡­¡± ¡°These people are really unreasonable¡­¡± After listening for a while, Anhao heard a familiar voice. She turned around and saw a few employees from the logistics department coming out to watch. Anhao and Lin Qing were standing at a slightly remote spot, so it wasn¡¯t very eye-catching. However, the employees from the logistics department all knew Anhao. She didn¡¯t know if these people who knew her had heard of what happened back then. Anhao turned around and avoided those people¡¯s direction. She went to a corner where the lights weren¡¯t bright enough. It was unknown what the workers were talking about in private downstairs. Suddenly, the crowd became agitated again. The noise turned the grand hall of Shengling Group into a mess. Anhao frowned when she saw the broken marble counter, crystal beads, and all kinds of fallen decorations at the front desk. Suddenly, someone shouted, President Zuo is out!¡± The noisy workers gradually quieted down and looked in the direction of the elevator door. Security guards formed a line in front of the workers to prevent any agitated people from barging in. The elevator stopped on the first floor. Everyone stared in that direction, and Anhao held her breath for some reason. The elevator door opened and Zuo Hancheng appeared. The workers started to talk at once, but it was so noisy that they could not hear anything clearly. Zuo Hancheng walked out of the elevator and glanced at the workers calmly. He was in the middle of the storm, but he was as quiet as a mountain. ¡°Everyone.¡± Mobai followed behind Zuo Hancheng and walked out. Beside him were the two leaders of the workers who had come to cause trouble. Mobai spoke first,¡±¡±We¡¯ve just contacted the person in charge of your company and learned that someone in Wanhai colluded with the finance department to monopolize the project funds. In the past few months, the person in charge of Wanhai has been preparing for a new project overseas, and there are people with ill intentions around him who are deliberately covering it up, so he doesn¡¯t know about the secret changes in your company over the past few months. Today, after we asked around, we found their current contact information. Your person in charge has already rushed to get a plane ticket for tomorrow. He would rush back the day after tomorrow at the latest to solve this problem.¡± ¡°Then what about our money? There¡¯s someone in the company who¡¯s hogging the money. Is that the salary of all our workers?¡± The two leaders beside Mobai said,¡±¡± Everyone, let¡¯s not make a scene first. We were at fault today. Shengling Group is only our company¡¯s partner. We came in and beat people and smashed things to make trouble. President Zuo did not call the police to take us away directly. Instead, he politely invited us in to understand the cause and effect of the matter. He also helped us contact the person in charge of Wan Hai to solve the problem.¡± ¡°But what about our money?¡± There were still people who were struggling over the salary. Their goal was simple. No matter where they went to cause trouble, getting money was the most important thing. ¡± The issue of wages has nothing to do with Shengling Group. We still need our Wanhai CEO to come back and settle it for us. Everyone, please disperse. CEO Zuo said that he will be going to Wanhai for an inspection soon. Our CEO will be back soon, so our wages will definitely be paid¡­¡± The leaders looked uncultured and their words were a little messy, but the general meaning was expressed. However, it was precisely because his words were unclear that the others could not understand. The troublemakers were still clamoring inside, saying that Shengling Group was shirking responsibility. They even demanded that Shengling Group pay them first, and then let them go to Wanhai to ask for money. Faced with such an unreasonable request, Zuo Hancheng looked at the crowd calmly and said in a deep voice,¡±¡±What do you mean by partner? It¡¯s impossible for you to really understand. It¡¯s just that you couldn¡¯t find a person in charge who could solve the problem for you, so you brainlessly rushed here to cause trouble. I understand everyone¡¯s anxiety and have already provided you with a solution. Now, if you still want to continue making trouble in Shengling Group after finding a way out, I don¡¯t mind making sure that you don¡¯t get your salary and have nowhere to complain. The consequences will be borne by everyone present.¡± Chapter 641 - Chapter 641: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (9) Chapter 641: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (9) Translator: 549690339 Sometimes, it was not a good thing to be too polite to the mob. It might even encourage evil. The troublemakers did not expect the legendary President Zuo to be so easy to talk to. They thought that if they caused more trouble, he would be able to pay their wages on behalf of Wan Hai. After all, a rich man like Zuo Hancheng could earn back the wages of dozens of people in less than a second. However, rioters were rioters. If they dared to cause trouble, it meant that they had their own wild ambitions. Once they were too indulgent, the consequences would exceed their original expectations. Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words sounded like a counter-threat, in the eyes of those who were particularly concerned about their wages, it instantly became a real trump card. At this time, these words were more threatening than calling the police to take them away. Those people didn¡¯t dare to make any more noise, afraid that they would lose their salary. A few brave people asked,¡±¡±What if the person in charge of Wanhai doesn¡¯t show up in the next two days and we still can¡¯t find anyone to ask for our salary? Is Shengling Group responsible for this?¡± ¡± Sheng Ling and Wan Hai are just partners. You¡¯re not Sheng Ling¡¯s employees. Where should you get your salary? Do you need us to explain it to you?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm as he stood in the storm. His eyes were cold.¡±Helping you contact the person in charge of Wanhai is already my concern for the employees of the partner. The rest has nothing to do with our company and we won¡¯t be responsible.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s last words were extremely cold. Those troublemakers immediately became anxious when they heard it. However, just as they were about to continue causing trouble, Mobai said solemnly,¡±Do you know how much the things you broke in our company today are worth? Just the American wild leopard statue in front of the door is enough for dozens of you to eat for the rest of your lives. We will get this money back from the person in charge of Wan Hai sooner or later. If you continue to cause trouble, I¡¯m afraid that all the losses caused today will be found on your heads. At that time, not only will your salary not be paid, but you will also need to compensate us for our losses. Are you sure you want to continue causing trouble here?¡± No one could tell what Zuo Hancheng was really thinking from his attitude. He looked like he was going to help them, but he was not happy because of their trouble. If they continued to cause trouble, the final result would be bad for them. The assistant beside President Zuo spoke again and again. Those people began to look around. They saw the things they had broken when they rushed in and the few female employees who had been knocked down by them. Those female employees had minor injuries and sprains. They were arranged to sit on the rest chair by the window on the first floor. If they really continued to make a fuss¡­ Shengling Group was probably really going to hold them accountable. At least they were magnanimous enough to not hold them accountable for their actions. They could not continue to provoke Zuo Hancheng for no reason. ¡°Then President Zuo, how can you guarantee that our boss will definitely come back? What if he finds out that the company has suddenly been emptied out and runs away with the remaining money?¡± ¡°This will never happen.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, but a cold voice suddenly came from the door of the hall on the first floor. Anhao had never heard that voice before, but she only saw Lin Qing, who was beside her, surprised for a moment. Suddenly, he took the initiative to look down. Anhao also looked over in confusion, but from her angle, she could not see the person at the door clearly. She could only see that it was a man who was about the same height as Zuo Hancheng. He was wearing a black casual suit and was playing with the electronic car key in his hand. When everyone looked in his direction, the man glanced at them indifferently.¡± Because the Shengling Group is behind Wanhai. The stolen money will be recovered by the public relations department and relevant departments of Shengling Group. Your boss is not the kind of person who will run away. Since President Zuo has said that the person in charge of Wanhai will come back in two days, then he will definitely come back. Why are you still here endlessly?¡± The group of people looked at the man in shock. They did not know who this person was. Not only did he speak up for Zuo Hancheng, but he also sounded particularly convincing. Even Assistant Mo, who was beside Zuo Hancheng, seemed to be a little surprised by the appearance of this person. ¡°From a pitiful employee who was owed wages to a group of people who caused trouble for no reason, it was just a mistake. For the sake of your own wages, you should think twice.¡± The man said indifferently. Then, his lips curled into a cold smile. He looked past the crowd and directly looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was standing in the crowd. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. Anhao looked at his expression and felt that he was implying something in his heart. His lines had been snatched away, so there was no need to say anything more¡­ However, judging from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold expression, the person who had suddenly appeared should be a friend of his. After all, he had been in the country for eight years. Even if he had no friends in the business world, there would always be a few people who got along well with him. Those people quieted down because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude and the words of the man at the door just now. They gradually persuaded each other in secret. One by one, they filed out. However, when they passed by the man, they could not help but take a few more glances at him. They did not know where this man who looked extraordinary came from and what his identity was. Those people gradually dispersed. After Mobai gave the two leaders some instructions, the two leaders bowed and apologized as they left. The first floor was quiet again, but it looked a little messy for the time being. However, with Zuo Hancheng around, even the chaotic ruins looked like the battlefield of a king. Even if there was smoke everywhere, it was still a place of victory. It did not affect anything. Taking advantage of the fact that those people had already left, the staff on the first floor went to help the female employees to rest and tidied up the mess on the first floor. The well-trained staff quickly got into work mode. Mobai also took another look at the person at the door and stood beside Zuo Hancheng, whispering,¡±¡±Why did President Huo suddenly come to A City? Was it also because of the incident with Taiwan¡¯s Bailin Financial? I¡¯ll get someone to arrange the living room now¡­¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s already so late. If we let someone wait any longer, even if he has just been discharged from the hospital, the cat that has just been raised will stretch out its claws to scratch people.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at the fence above the second floor. It was only then that An Le realized that she had been discovered by Zuo Hancheng. She immediately stood by the fence and stared in his direction. She stared speechlessly at his expression, but she could not hear what he was saying to Mobai. Chapter 642 - Chapter 642: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (10) Chapter 642: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (10) Translator: 549690339 However, the man standing in front of the door only took a glance at Zuo Hancheng from afar. He then turned around and spoke to a security guard in front of the door with a snort. No one knew what he was talking about. For some reason, Anhao felt that this man and Zuo Hancheng were looking at each other. Even though they looked like two straight men, and they were both so tall and eye-catching, they looked gay no matter how she looked at them¡­ Ever since Zuo Hancheng had destroyed the pile of beautiful paintings that she had left in the dormitory, she had not fantasized about two men doing that thing like a fujoshi for many years. But now, when she looked at the strange man and Zuo Hancheng, she felt that the two of them were attacking each other. How could they both attack each other? It would destroy harmony and beauty. ¡°Who is that person?¡± Anhao approached Lin Qing and asked. After all, from Lin Qing¡¯s reaction, he must know that person. ¡°It¡¯s the big BOSS of S City¡¯s Beiheng Group, Huo Beiting.¡±Lin Qing turned around and whispered to Anhao,¡± He and President Zuo used to be enemies who were on par with each other. But after so many years, the two of them could almost compete with each other in terms of intelligence, financial resources, decisiveness, and sensitivity. They were the type who could not kill each other. Over time, they became enemies and friends.¡± S City¡¯s Beiheng Group? Why did he seem to have heard of it before? Didn¡¯t Chunchun go to the Beiheng Group in S City back then? However, this thought that flashed through her mind was scattered by Lin Qing¡¯s words. Anhao immediately asked with interest,¡±¡±Friend and foe?¡± ¡± We¡¯re still competing, but once something happens to the other party, the other party will help while mocking us. Two years ago, all the electronic data in Beiheng Group was hacked. In the end, it was President Zuo who hired a wave of top hackers to help Beiheng Group protect its trade secrets. Last year, there was a mole in Shengling. The BOSS of Beiheng also gave President Zuo a very good idea while secretly mocking him.¡± From the sound of it, it was clear that they admired each other but were not convinced by each other. It was indeed reasonable to say that they were both enemies and friends. ¡°S City is quite far from A City. Why would he suddenly come here?¡±Anhao asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I haven¡¯t heard any news about Beiheng Group recently, and our two companies don¡¯t have any related cooperation. In the eyes of others, Shengling and Beiheng have always been business enemies. I¡¯m also very surprised that President Huo suddenly appeared.¡± When he saw that Mobai had already stepped forward to greet him, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of Huo Beiting before turning around and walking away. He left? He entered the elevator just like that? Huo Beiting had at least spoken up for Zuo Hancheng to save him the trouble of wasting his breath. Yet, he had just left after taking a glance at Huo Beiting? Just as Anhao was shocked, Lin Qing smiled and said,¡±¡±Mobai is already in the past. President Zuo and President Huo have never treated each other well. You have to get used to it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s obvious that they despise each other¡­¡± Anhao found it funny. She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to have such a childish feeling. He did not see eye to eye with someone who could compete with him. He did not even bother to give him the courtesy he should have. But no matter how Anhao thought about it, she felt that there was something fishy about this Beiheng Group. It was unknown what Huo Beiting was talking about at the door. Mobai was standing in front of him and speaking politely. The volume of their conversation was not very loud, unlike when the troublemakers were present. Everyone had to raise their voices by a few decibels. Anhao couldn¡¯t hear him clearly now, and Huo Beiting had his back facing her, so she couldn¡¯t take a closer look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s rival, who was also his friend and foe. She suddenly felt that it was especially quiet behind her and realized that Lin Qing, who was standing beside her, had disappeared. She snapped back to her senses and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng standing behind her. Anhao was shocked. She saw him enter the elevator, but she didn¡¯t expect him to come to the second floor. Where did Lin Qing go? She realized that her boss was here and quietly ran away? Anhao had a feeling that everyone had come out to peek, but in the end, they were betrayed and only she was left behind. Zuo Hancheng must have seen her lying there and looking down. He also saw her staring at President Huo. She did not know how long he had been watching her from behind. Anhao could only face him and smile.¡±I heard some noise downstairs, so I pulled Lin Qing down to take a look¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen it. Can we go now?¡± Zuo Hancheng also glanced in the direction of the building and then glanced at her. Why did it feel like Zuo Hancheng was exceptionally domineering and cold whenever she focused her attention on a certain man? The jealous Zuo Hancheng was really not magnanimous at all. Anhao pouted and pointed downstairs.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you going to meet that President Huo?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital and still need to rest. I¡¯ll send you back first.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. As long as I don¡¯t run around and jump around, I¡¯ll be fine. It¡¯s only nine o¡¯clock. I¡¯ve been lying in the hospital for the past few days and I feel uncomfortable.¡± Anhao¡¯s attitude suddenly changed. She was no longer as repulsive as she was a few days ago. There was even a hint of a smile in her eyes as she spoke. Zuo Hancheng noticed the change in her expression, but his eyebrows moved slightly.¡±¡±Move around more? He should go home first. It was convenient at home.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart was filled with gratitude and her desire to slowly approach Zuo Hancheng was instantly frozen by his words. She endured and said,¡±¡±Can we not talk about dirty jokes?¡± ¡°When I said that our family has already prepared two sets of compound equipment for you, which are suitable for the recovery of your waist injury, what did you think I was talking about?¡±Zuo Hancheng turned around and walked towards the elevator. Anhao opened her mouth and looked at his back view. Initially, she thought that it was understandable. After all, a man who had been holding it in for more than three years, occasionally speaking dirty meant that he was normal. Damn it, why did the atmosphere change in the blink of an eye? Anhao quickly followed him. My waist injury isn¡¯t that serious. Why do I have to spend so much money?¡± Before Zuo Hancheng could enter the elevator, his phone rang and he stopped in his tracks. It was Mobai, who was on the first floor. After taking the phone, Zuo Hancheng put it down and looked back at Anhao.¡±¡±Did you eat in the office just now?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± Just now, Lin Qingyu went up to deliver food, but I heard that there was something going on downstairs. I didn¡¯t have time to eat, so I ran down.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng walked into the elevator. Anhao stood outside in a daze for a while before she followed him into the elevator. ¡°Are we going back now?¡± In order to break this sinking feeling, Anhao asked directly. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Chapter 643 - Chapter 643: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (11) Chapter 643: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (11) Translator: 549690339 The so-called meal. Anhao was eating a nutritious meal upstairs at a high-end bar, while Zuo Hancheng and President Huo of Beiheng Corporation were drinking and talking about life in a card bag on the first floor. Although he didn¡¯t know what the two CEOs were talking about, from their expressions, it didn¡¯t seem like they were in a particularly hostile relationship like what Lin Qing had said. At least, although Zuo Hancheng had been lukewarm to President Huo before, they were out drinking together now, so their attitude was more or less not bad. Anhao was also sitting directly above them. She was eating at a table while looking down from time to time. Looking at the wine glasses in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s and President Huo¡¯s bags, Anhao, who had no interest in wine at the moment, began to drink for some reason. Perhaps it was because the food she ate in the hospital these few days was too bland that she drank so much. Moreover, the nutritious meal that Zuo Hancheng had specially ordered for her was mainly light and delicious. Her mouth was really about to fade out. She swore that she would never get hurt in front of Zuo Hancheng again in her life. She did not want to be treated like this every time she was admitted to the hospital because of a major or minor injury. This was simply torture for a foodie. After dinner, Anhao sat on the second floor and leaned against the railing to look down. She saw that Zuo Hancheng and President Huo were probably talking about something serious. Both of them looked very serious, and from the way they mouthed, they seemed to have some unfamiliar English words. Could it be related to some business overseas? When Anhao realized that her gaze had never left Zuo Hancheng, she quickly turned around and took a sip of water from the cup on the table. Then, she took a deep breath and continued to look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Actually, she had just forgotten. She really wanted to ask if his computer would still ring at 5:30 pm tomorrow. Did he immediately know the time she woke up every day for the past three years? Anhao had been drinking water for a long time, and in the end, there was no more room in her stomach. It was not right to wait for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s social gathering to end. She was the one who had taken the initiative to say that she was not in a hurry to go back. She had no choice but to take out her phone, only to realize that Chunchun had sent her a message. ¡®Anhao, what are you doing? I can get rid of the devil for a few days in these two days. Today¡¯s work is finished early again. I¡¯m so bored now¡­¡¯ Anhao replied,¡¯How did you get rid of it? Didn¡¯t that great demon king of yours imprison your time and freedom every day? Didn¡¯t you say that your life was dark and devoid of light?¡¯ ¡± The Great Demon King had to meet with the province in City A, so he went to City A. Ahhhh, it¡¯s rare for me to have so many days of freedom!¡¯ Anhao¡¯s eyes immediately glanced down again. He looked at the man named Huo Beiting. It seemed that her previous suspicions were correct. This Huo Beiting was most likely the Great Demon King that Chunchun had mentioned. However, this President Huo looked very decent and good-looking. Although he looked colder and more arrogant than Zuo Hancheng, he was obviously a man with good values. When Zuo Hancheng and Huo Beiting appeared here just now, a group of young girls were about to faint. How was he like the Great Demon King that Chunchun had mentioned? ¡± How far have you progressed with the Great Demon King?¡¯Anhao was really bored, so she asked nosily. ¡®How is it progressing to that extent? He¡¯s my boss. My parents let me stay at his place¡­¡¯ Seeing the ellipsis at the end of Chunchun¡¯s sentence, Anhao smiled.¡±¡±Is that all?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± It became three exclamation marks again. Anhao chuckled and glanced at Huo Beiting again. She felt that he was a pretty good man. Although he was not as pleasing to the eye as Zuo Hancheng, he was Chunchun¡¯s man after all. If she found him pleasing to the eye, something big would happen. ¡®I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely didn¡¯t do anything that shouldn¡¯t have happened with him! Anhao, you have to believe me! Chunchun suddenly added. Anhao did not reply. Among the three of them, Chunchun was the most lecherous little b * tch. All the resources for Japanese action movies and H-comics were sent to her and Huang Amao by Chunchun. For a woman like Chunchun, even if Huo Beiting did not pounce on her, Chunchun would probably think of ways to pounce on him first. It had been so many years, how could nothing have happened? Moreover, Chunchun did not even have the time to return to A City. The last time she fled back to A City, it was said that she was personally captured by the Great Demon King. She wondered if this devil knew that Chunchun¡¯s good friend was her. Anhao and Chunchun continued to text each other, casually chatting about each other¡¯s recent situation, and then talking about things that happened during school. Time passed by unknowingly. Although Anhao was fine, she had gotten used to sleeping early in the hospital these past few days. She leaned against the railing and fell asleep while holding her phone. Anhao suddenly felt that her feet were off the ground. She opened her eyes in alarm and realized that Zuo Hancheng had already come up to her and picked her up before she could even feel it. Anhao did not expect to fall asleep just like that. She did not know what time it was, but when she woke up and saw that it was Zuo Hancheng, she instinctively closed her eyes and continued to sleep. She even leaned her head on his shoulder to find a comfortable position. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you slept too much in the hospital and wanted to come out and exercise more?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang in her ears. Anhao closed her eyes and whispered as if she was half-asleep and couldn¡¯t tell reality from a dream,¡±¡±I can¡¯t hold on anymore. I¡¯m so sleepy¡­¡± It was not until Zuo Hancheng carried her out of the bar that Anhao woke up from the sudden gust of wind, even though she was covered with a coat. She opened her eyes and looked outside, then looked at Zuo Hancheng who was carrying her.¡±That¡­ Put me down. I thought I was dreaming just now¡­¡± ¡°Do you only crawl into my arms when you¡¯re dreaming?¡±Not only did Zuo Hancheng not put her down, he even carried her to the car. Anhao felt awkward. Actually, it was not a dream¡­It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t completely woken up¡­¡± She was the one who suddenly felt that she owed Zuo Hancheng too much. She was the one who did not know how to get close to him carefully again. She was the one who was shocked by the discovery in his office. But now that she was in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms, she really felt like she had the whole world again. ¡°It¡¯s not like I can¡¯t walk. Let me down and walk by myself.¡± When they reached the car door, Zuo Hancheng finally put her down. At the same time, he opened the car door and motioned for her to get in. Chapter 644 - Chapter 644: Staying at Zuo Hancheng’s House (12) Chapter 644: Staying at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s House (12) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Has President Huo left?¡± Anhao looked around.¡± ¡°He came to A City for other things, but he went to Shengling Group to drop by. A car from the government came to pick him up just now.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was faint as he stared at her.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you interested in Huo Beiting?¡± Why did these words sound so sour? Anhao turned around and rolled her eyes at him.¡± I¡¯m interested in all the men in the world, but I¡¯m not interested in you, Zuo Hancheng. Alright?¡±¡± After saying that, she got into the car and looked at the time again without looking at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s stubborn and accustomed expression. ¡°It¡¯s already so late.¡± When Zuo Hancheng also got into the car, she said,¡± This place is quite far from Heng Hai Ming City where you live. I heard that the Binjiang Road in front is under construction. If we drive back from here, do we have to take a detour?¡±¡± ¡°The road home is not far.¡±As Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, the car had already started moving in the night. A light sentence blocked Anhao¡¯s words. She sat in the car, holding the seatbelt in front of her chest. She looked at the bright lights in the night and the flashing neon lights. She wondered if Zuo Hancheng had gotten used to the beautiful scenery in the dark night in the past three years. Anhao took a deep breath and suddenly turned to look at him. Zuo Hancheng looked cold and serious as he drove. This was a sign that he was responsible for the safety of everyone in the car. Anhao took the opportunity to sneak a peek at his side profile. When Zuo Hancheng suddenly glanced at her, Anhao quickly turned her head away. Zuo Hancheng snorted and the car turned at the intersection in front of him. After driving on the main road again, he slowed down and said,¡±¡±Is there something on my face? Or is there something else in your heart? If you want to see it, just do it openly. I won¡¯t charge you.¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at the window and whispered,¡±¡±Narcissistic.¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed.¡± When the workers from Wan Hai came to cause trouble, you were staring at me on the second floor. You were also staring at me at the bar just now. Now, you¡¯re staring at me intently while I¡¯m driving. Gu Anhao, under normal circumstances, I would have to pay for being stared at like this.¡± ¡°Stop it¡­Usually, when your company has a meeting, you are the leader of the company. When you speak, don¡¯t everyone look at you seriously? Did you charge them?¡± Anhao knew that he was mocking her, but she still glared at him in disbelief.¡±¡±Besides, I don¡¯t know what you look like. What¡¯s there to peek at?¡± ¡°Indeed, we¡¯re already so familiar with each other. What¡¯s there to peek at?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled meaningfully. ¡°Who is familiar with you¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s face suddenly turned hot, and she raised her hand uncomfortably to tuck her hair behind her ears. At the same time, she rolled down the car window to let the wind outside cool her slightly hot face. At the same time, she said in a blurry voice,¡±We haven¡¯t seen each other for more than three years.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t slept well?¡± Anhao suddenly turned to look at him.¡± That¡¯s a classic line from a romance novel. Where did you learn it?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve touched, kissed, and slept with you. What else do you want me to do?¡± Anhao¡¯s face was even hotter. As she continued to blow her face with the wind, she said,¡±I already told you not to tell me dirty jokes. Your way of flirting with me is useless. I¡¯m considered to have been through hundreds of battles, okay? When I was in the United States, I was pursued by many boys. During my internship, there were also male colleagues who had a crush on me. What you¡¯re doing now is simply a small matter.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the French kid who got someone to send you a red rose every day because he was chasing you in your school? The French kid who kneeled in front of your apartment and sang French love songs?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao instantly turned to look at him in surprise. ¡°Or is it that Native American son who moved to the building next to your apartment just to chase you?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao widened her eyes again. ¡°Or, the person in charge of the design project team who sent you directly to his office when you first started your internship at Bode Company?¡± Anhao swallowed hard and looked at Zuo Hancheng like a ghost. She sat in the car without saying a word and stared out of the window. This world was really too mystical¡­ How did Zuo Hancheng investigate everything that happened to her in America so thoroughly? How did he know? When did he find out? But now that he thought about it, it was really strange! The French male student who sent roses to the apartment building every day was expelled from school not long after. Anhao didn¡¯t ask about it, but she didn¡¯t know why. The son of the Native American who had run to live upstairs next to their apartment suddenly moved his family business from Boston. It was said that the whole family had moved to England. After moving, she had never seen them again. She liked the person in charge of the design projects at Porter, who had helped her a lot during her internship. Of course, this liking only existed in the work. It was just friendship, gratitude, and so on. However, not long after, he was transferred to the Los Angeles branch to be the person in charge of other projects. From then on, she had never seen him again. The more Anhao thought about it, the colder she felt. This shouldn¡¯t be! For the past three years, Zuo Hancheng had never shown his face in front of her! However, no matter how hard she tried to figure it out, her face became hotter and hotter. Because she gradually understood many things that had happened in the past few years, her heart beat faster and faster. Zuo Hancheng parked the car outside Heng Hai City. Anhao sat quietly in the car for a while but did not get out of the car. He did not get out of the car either. Suddenly, he turned around and casually put his arm on the steering wheel. He looked at her and said,¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you getting out of the car?¡± She looked up at the high-end residential area in front of her. She had already been here twice, so of course, she did not feel unfamiliar. Initially, Anhao was indeed a little hesitant¡­ Of course, it wasn¡¯t rejection, but an inexplicable feeling of embarrassment. However, Zuo Hancheng did not give her any room to reject him. His actions and attitude clearly indicated that if she did not get out of the car, he would do something to her in the car. Anhao let out a long breath and looked at him.¡±¡±The last two times I came to your place, I found that you have a few empty rooms. Can I stay in the guest room?¡± After she finished speaking, she did not look at Zuo Hancheng directly. However, even if she avoided his gaze, she could still feel the low pressure in the car. The atmosphere was really¡­ She had no choice but to raise her eyes to meet his gaze. However, she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were dark and there was a deep and unfathomable smile on his face. Chapter 645 - Chapter 645: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 645: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡± Guest room or second bedroom, your choice.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly said. Seeing that he had actually made a concession, Anhao naturally got out of the car happily. Just when she thought that she had already discovered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s trap bit by bit, she did not know that she had walked into the trap that Zuo Hancheng had set for her. It was a trap within a trap. She was an unpredictable wild cat, so she would never have the chance to escape his sight again. When she entered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s house, Anhao remembered what he had just said. The road home was not far. She thought that he would bring her back to Liu Jing Garden after saying those words. In the end, he still came to Heng Hai City. To her, Liu Jing Garden was their real home. At least in her heart, that was their wedding home. So, what did he mean when he said that the road home was not far, no matter how far it was? It was late, so Anhao did not probe further. Because Zuo Hancheng lived downstairs, Anhao chose a clean and tidy guest room on the second floor. It seemed that there was a cleaning lady who came to clean his room regularly. After resting for a while, she decided to go downstairs to get some water and bring it upstairs. However, she noticed that Zuo Hancheng was not in the living room. Instead, his computer was on and he was sitting on the sofa. Anhao walked over to take a look. All she could see was a mailbox with a minimized window. There were also some tender documents and application data forms sent by others on the table. She didn¡¯t look at them carefully. When her gaze fell on the mailbox with the minimized window, she remembered that she seemed to have cut off contact with Mr. V during the few days she was hospitalized. Moreover, the resort seemed to have opened to the public in the next few days. Although she had already lined up and was only waiting for the design, she had not contacted Mr. V for so many days. Mr. V must have thought that there was something wrong with her disappearance. Anhao went to get a glass of water and rushed upstairs. At this time, Zuo Hancheng came out of the bedroom and said to her,¡±¡±You really have a soft spot for the second floor.¡± This was not the first time he had used such sarcastic words to mock her. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and ignored him. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had changed into the simple and comfortable clothes that he wore at home. The feeling of them suddenly living together for no reason and looking like a loving couple from before was so intense that Anhao ran back to her room on the second floor. After returning to her room, she picked up her phone and opened her email. There were some unread emails, but she didn¡¯t see any from Mr. V. Mobai had also helped her patch up her phone. Her missed calls and unread messages had automatically entered her phone, but there was still no news of Mr. V. Was Mr. V really very busy, or did he already know that the seaside villa could not be renovated in the near future, so he was not in a hurry to ask about the progress of the design even though he had not contacted her for more than a week? Anhao laid on the bed and looked at the phone screen. She felt that Mr. V¡¯s money was really hard to earn. The boss was so cold. If she kept asking questions, it would be a little too difficult to deal with. It would be annoying. However, the progress of the renovation was affected. She had already gone to arrange it. Should she design it now and then wait for Mr. V to approve the design draft before getting the money, or should she wait until half a year later before the renovation? Ah, ah, ah, her money. It was really a natural disaster and a man-made disaster. Anhao took out her phone and typed,¡±¡±Mr. V, I can finish the design draft in half a month. Should I send it to you directly?¡± After typing, she hesitated for a moment before deleting all of them. She threw her phone aside, flipped over, and lay on the bed. It was really not easy to make money. She had to constantly control her boss¡¯s mood. If she disturbed him or annoyed him, the money would be gone. She suddenly understood why the people from the government would be so respectful to a businessman like Zuo Hancheng. 800 million! Moreover, this was not the first time that Zuo Hancheng and the government had cooperated. It was not as simple as 800 million yuan this time. A wealthy man like him was the backer of all the government officials in the prosperous cities in this coastal area. Who else could they curry favor with other than Zuo Hancheng? What was the use of having power? Money was his father. Just like now, she couldn¡¯t sleep at night for 50,000 yuan¡­ He was afraid that the money would fly away if he was not careful. She had accidentally fallen asleep in the bar. She was still very sleepy before she got into the car. Now that she was lying on the comfortable bed, she could not fall asleep for some reason. Perhaps it was because this was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s place, or perhaps it was because Zuo Hancheng was downstairs. It was already past eleven o¡¯clock at night, and Anhao did not bring any change of clothes. After all, she was suddenly discharged from the hospital and came here all of a sudden. She did not prepare anything, not even taking her toothpaste and toothbrush. She would just stay in her room obediently and wait for Zuo Hancheng to go to work tomorrow before she went out to buy things. With that thought in mind, Anhao sat up and picked up her phone to check her email again. Nowadays, mobile phones had an online display function. If an email that you had been in contact with for a long time was online, a small green dot would appear on her side. Mr. V¡¯s email is actually online? Anhao, who was still feeling a little conflicted just now, suddenly felt much better. She continued to type on her phone.¡±Mr. V, are you resting?¡± A minute later, there was no reply. Three minutes later, there was no reply. Fifteen minutes later, there was no reply¡­ Anhao¡¯s initially excited little heart instantly died out. She sighed and fell onto the bed, staring at her phone in frustration. How could she be so concise in her message? She should have typed a few more words to express what she wanted to say. At the very least, she should have told the other party that she was willing to hand over the design as soon as possible. She should have held back the 50,000 yuan! Gu Anhao, you pig head, did you fall silly when you jumped down from the hotel? Or was his brain damaged by Zuo Hancheng? She sighed. If she sent another message, she would definitely be hated by others. She threw her phone aside, angry that she did not cherish the opportunity to say the first sentence. She was so angry that she rolled around on the bed for a long time. It was only when she heard footsteps outside the door that she stopped abruptly. She looked up and saw the door suddenly pushed open. Anhao immediately sat up with a guarded expression. She raised her hand to cover her chest and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had suddenly entered her room. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Anhao stared at him. Zuo Hancheng looked at her warily and threw a laptop to her. Anhao was surprised that he would actually give her a computer. Although she was a designer, computers were indeed essential in her life¡­ Moreover, this did not seem to be the one she saw downstairs. This should be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s other backup computer. Chapter 646 - Chapter 646: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 646: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°If you can¡¯t sleep, you can come downstairs and talk to me about life. Is it fun to roll around in bed alone?¡± Anhao chuckled, picked up her laptop, and waved at him.¡±¡±Thanks, good night. Bye ~¡± It was too obvious an order to leave. It was indeed very late now, and Anhao had just been discharged from the hospital. No matter how heartless Zuo Hancheng was, he would not come over to torment her so late at night. Sure enough, Zuo Hancheng turned around and left. Anhao let out a long sigh, got up, and ran over to lock the bedroom door. Although this method was probably futile again, at least she could seek comfort in her heart. When she returned to bed, she turned on her computer. Just as she was about to log in to her email, she felt a headache coming on. Regardless of whether he used his phone or email to log in, wouldn¡¯t it be the same result? Mr. V had no intention of answering her. Wasn¡¯t she too talkative as a designer? Anhao fell onto the bed, hugged the pillow, and started rolling around again¡­ What should she do? If Mr. V still did not reply after an hour, then he was probably either busy or too lazy to reply to her. Anhao hugged her pillow and lay on the bed, looking at the computer screen with a sad expression. As expected, natural disasters and man-made disasters kept happening. .. She had slept too late the night before to wait for Mr. V¡¯s reply. Although Mr. V did not reply, it was already 9:30 in the morning when Anhao woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar room. When she realized that she was sleeping in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s house, her mind instantly cleared up. She suddenly hugged the blanket and sat up, turning to look in the direction of the door. Why was she sleeping until now? She quickly got up and opened the door. There was no sound downstairs. She turned around and went back to her room to look at the computer. Mr. V was not online and had not replied. Oh my god, is this 50,000 yuan going to fly? Anhao touched her heart in pain and went downstairs. She thought that Zuo Hancheng would have gone to work at this time, so Anhao sneaked into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom after she went downstairs. Last time, she only saw some suits and shirts in his cloakroom on the second floor. There was nothing suitable for him to wear at home. She opened the closet in the bedroom and searched it up and down. She found a pair of male pajamas that had not taken off the label and quietly took it down. Then, she quietly took the pajamas and walked out. She didn¡¯t bring a change of clothes with her. When she came back last night, she only took a casual shower on the second floor and continued to sleep in the clothes she was wearing. Now, she felt uncomfortable all over her body. She had to change into her pajamas after taking a shower. She would wear them after she washed the clothes she was wearing. Just as she walked out with her pajamas, Anhao suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the bathroom on the first floor. Why was there the sound of water? When she went downstairs, she thought that no one was there. She was too focused on the situation in the bedroom, and she did not seem to have heard such obvious water sounds just now. Now, it sounded like someone was taking a bath inside. However, it was almost ten o¡¯clock. Shengling Group had a meeting every day at this time, and Zuo Hancheng would not be absent. He would not be so free to stay at home until this time to take a shower. Could it be that he had forgotten to turn off the water after showering in the morning? Or¡­A water pipe burst? Was that why there was the sound of water? Anhao held the towel in her hand and looked in the direction of the bathroom in confusion for a long time. Indeed, she could only hear the sound of water and nothing else. When she was in the United States, there was a time when the water pipe of a house upstairs burst for some reason, and the house was filled with water. After a day, the floorboards of their apartment were covered in water stains. She and her roommates even placed various basins on the bed and floor to prevent them from being soaked too badly. Anhao listened to the sound of water from outside for five minutes without stopping, so she put down the men¡¯s pajamas in her hands and walked quickly to the bathroom. She opened the bathroom door and did not expect the bathroom to be filled with steam. In the blurry steam, she was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng taking a shower! Anhao was shocked at first. When Zuo Hancheng turned off the tap and turned to look at her, Anhao looked at his dripping black hair with a blank expression. She watched as his face slowly slid down¡­ Seeing Anhao¡¯s expression as if she had seen a ghost, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion. Anhao¡¯s gaze went down again. She raised her hand to cover her eyes and closed the bathroom door. She stood outside the door and cursed,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, why aren¡¯t you at work at this hour? Why are you taking a shower at home in broad daylight?!¡± There was no response from the bathroom. She put her hands down and turned around to pick up her pajamas from the sofa, but her mind was filled with the scene of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unconsciousness in the shower. It was not like he had not seen it before! Was it because the past three years had been too empty and lonely that he had given himself a fright early in the morning? What was there to be surprised about? Anhao raised her hand and knocked on her forehead. Just as she was about to run upstairs with her pajamas, she suddenly heard the bathroom door open behind her. She paused for a moment and felt that her performance in front of the bathroom door was a little too unsatisfactory. To put it bluntly, they were an old couple. Did she have to scream like an innocent little girl? In order to save her face, Anhao suddenly turned around and looked at the man who was walking out of the bathroom. Anhao subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Zuo Hancheng only had a towel wrapped around his lower body, and water was still dripping from his hair and upper body. Obviously, he was in the middle of taking a shower when she interrupted him. He just took a casual shower and walked out. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you sleep a little longer?¡± As if nothing had happened, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and walked past her. Seeing that he was walking towards the bedroom, Anhao said calmly with a straight face,¡±¡±When I woke up, it was already 9:30. It¡¯s not early anymore.¡± Zuo Hancheng entered the bedroom. Anhao stood still and asked in the direction of the bedroom,¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you at work at this time? Wasn¡¯t there usually a high-level meeting at this time?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked out very quickly. He was still only wearing a towel around his lower body, as if he was looking for something but could not find it. He said calmly,¡±¡±Today is the weekend.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Those who had been staying in the hospital for the past few days could no longer tell if it was Monday or Sunday. They thought that today was a workday. However, Zuo Hancheng would often be busy with work during the weekends. The word weekend in his dictionary was usually equivalent to working days. Anhao could guess why he would suddenly be concerned about this weekend and stay at home to rest without asking. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze suddenly fell on the pajamas in her hands. He asked,¡±¡±Why is it with you?¡± Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 647: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked down at the pajamas in her hands, then looked up at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing that he had already walked over, she immediately understood what he meant. He had just taken a shower. Was he going to the bedroom to look for this set of pajamas? Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to walk closer, Anhao quickly grabbed the pajamas in her hands and carried them behind her. When she saw her action, Zuo Hancheng was about to raise his hand to take them. He paused and looked at her a few times before putting down his hand. ¡°Do you like to see me naked?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes.¡± I didn¡¯t bring any clothes to change into. I won¡¯t have any clothes to wear when I shower later. I¡¯ll buy some clothes from the department store online and have them delivered to me later. Can¡¯t I wear your pajamas for now?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly smiled and walked towards her. Anhao instinctively took a step back, but she suddenly leaned against the sofa behind her. There was nowhere to go. Just as she was about to walk around the sofa and stand further away, Zuo Hancheng was already close to her. ¡°Are you wearing my pajamas? Such an obvious hint didn¡¯t seem to be consistent with the way you locked the door last night.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s hinting at you!¡± Anhao¡¯s little heart had already endured too many things that she could not imagine in the past two days. Her face heated up and she raised her hand to push him away.¡±Your pajamas are new, you didn¡¯t wear them before. Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t take this opportunity to act like a hooligan. You¡¯re just like that hooligan software on your computer.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, she bit her tongue and looked up to see that Zuo Hancheng was not aware that he had been discovered at all. He was still closing in on her, forcing her to the back of the sofa. If he moved a little closer, she would have fallen from the back of the sofa onto the sofa. ¡°What 5:30 PM reminder?¡±Zuo Hancheng stared into her eyes. He was obviously asking her a question, but there was no doubt in his eyes. This attitude of asking the obvious was really asking for a beating. Anhao rolled her eyes at him. Do you need me to tell you?¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed.¡± I visit the departments downstairs at 5:30 every day. I¡¯ve set a time reminder. Is there a problem?¡±¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Anhao really wanted to laugh at him, so she raised her hand and pushed him again.¡±No problem, absolutely no problem! If that was the truth, then the pressure on me would be less. Yesterday, I felt that I was really too heartless to realize the good intentions of others until now. In the end, I was thinking too much!¡± ¡°Excuse me, I¡¯ll go up and change my clothes!¡± she said as she pushed him.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain much, nor did he feel any emotional fluctuations because of her self-comforting words. He simply did as he pleased and confined her behind the sofa. He looked down on her and oppressed her so that she could neither move forward nor retreat. She could only stay obediently in his arms. ¡°It¡¯s better not to wear my pajamas. Wearing them will cause me to have too much room for imagination.¡±Before Zuo Hancheng could finish his sentence, he had already wrapped his arms around her waist. As Anhao stared at him tensely, he chuckled and leaned closer to her lips. His deep voice was sexy and husky.¡±I¡¯ll get Lin Qing to buy a few sets of clothes for you in the afternoon. She knows your clothes ¡®size.¡± As soon as size said the word ¡®size¡¯, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand had already slowly caressed the back of her waist. Anhao shuddered and pushed his chest with her hand. Her face was red as she said,¡±¡±Where is the rehabilitation equipment? Didn¡¯t you insist on letting me stay at your place yesterday so that I could exercise and recover from my waist injury? Why did the result make it so convenient for you to act like a hooligan?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± In this house, I¡¯m the most suitable rehabilitation equipment for you. An appropriate amount of exercise will help with your waist injury.¡±¡± Anhao quickly raised her hand and pushed away his hand that was almost touching her chest. She was just embarrassed just now, but now she suspected that she had been played and said angrily,¡±You actually lied to me? You don¡¯t have any rehabilitation equipment here, do you?¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not answer and was still restraining her behind the sofa, Anhao raised her hand again and shook his hand away.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, answer my question!¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was only smiling, she felt that there must be something fishy going on. Anhao suddenly raised her leg and was about to kick him away, but Zuo Hancheng was already prepared for it. The moment she raised her leg, he placed his leg between her legs. This ambiguous action made Anhao¡¯s expression stiffen, and her cheeks turned hot all the way to her ears. The intimacy between the two of them before the divorce was reflected in her eyes. Including the sex toys that Minister Qin had asked her to send to him last time, Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng might not have thrown those things away. Anhao¡¯s legs were forced to clamp onto his thighs, and her movements were stiff as she looked at his face that was inches away from her. She could see the smile in his eyes, as if he was happy that she was being bullied by him until she could not speak. She might as well pinch him with both her legs. Since it was already like this, she could only be more shameless than him. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes, she immediately groaned because of the strength of her legs. Anhao wanted to force him to retract his legs, but when she heard his groan, she instantly felt her entire body go numb. Did she have a good time?! Anhao stared at him speechlessly, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were dark and deep as he looked into her eyes that were filled with resentment.¡±¡±You¡¯re not going to clip it anymore?¡± Anhao simply closed her eyes and stopped looking at him. She also refused to discuss this topic with him. She could clearly feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand around her waist heating up rapidly, and she did not dare to move. Suddenly, she felt that the pajamas in her hands had been taken away. Anhao opened her eyes and saw that Zuo Hancheng had let go of her. She looked at him in disbelief.¡±It can¡¯t be, right? You even gave me a shirt last time, so why are you so stingy with pajamas now?¡± Zuo Hancheng took his pajamas away calmly and had no intention of letting her wear them. When Anhao looked at the pajamas in his hands unhappily, he suddenly said,¡±¡±The last time I saw you wearing my shirt, I don¡¯t know how much restraint I used to keep you here.¡± Anhao¡¯s brain went blank when she heard that. She looked at him in a daze as he casually threw the pajamas on the sofa. ¡°If you wear this nightgown now, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to control myself.¡± Anhao came back to her senses. As soon as she saw the deep meaning in his dark eyes, she instantly gave up on the idea of continuing to snatch his pajamas. As expected, this pajama war ended in her defeat¡­ Chapter 648 - Chapter 648: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 648: The Battle of Pajama with Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 Lin Qing was extremely efficient every time. Zuo Hancheng had just called her an hour ago, and Lin Qing had already sent the clothes over. It wasn¡¯t the first time Lin Qing had helped her buy clothes. Lin Qing was very familiar with Anhao¡¯s size. Regardless of whether it was normal clothes or underwear, they all matched Anhao¡¯s style and size. After receiving the clothes, Anhao hid on the second floor to take a shower and change her clothes. When she came down again, Zuo Hancheng was talking to Lin Qing about the cooperation with Bailin Financial Group. Anhao walked behind them and could tell that it was related to the budget and preparation plan between Bailin Financial Group and other matters that needed to be driven out in the near future. Lin Qing glanced at Anhao as she walked past. Seeing that Anhao looked very beautiful in the clothes she had sent over, he smiled politely at Anhao. Anhao smiled back and walked straight to another room beside the study on the first floor. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s residence was very big. In fact, he had always had some fitness equipment, but she had never had the chance to see him use it. When he was in Liu Jing Garden, he had only heard Mobai mention that Zuo Hancheng would always find time to exercise or run in the morning when he was in the United States, no matter how busy he was. After arriving in China for a few years, he had to adapt to the various cultural environments in China and the ways of socializing in the business world. It had been a long time since he had run or exercised in the morning. However, there was indeed a room at home with a treadmill and a few simple exercise equipment. Of course, Anhao was very lazy at that time, so she didn¡¯t take those things seriously. Now, Zuo Hancheng probably had one too. She did not see it upstairs, so she went downstairs to look for it. She had a feeling that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were not groundless. Perhaps the rehabilitation device that he had prepared for her was in his exercise room? Sure enough, next to the study room, the door, the door, the safe, found her rehabilitation equipment, look up, the right, the right, the right, the waist injury, the right, the right, the right, the left, the cold, the city, the right, the door, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the right, the Anhao turned around and closed the door. Then, she returned to the rehabilitation equipment that Zuo Hancheng had prepared for her and measured her height and waist position. She then lay down. She was wearing a set of clothes that looked like tight-fitting sportswear that Lin Qing had bought for her. It was easier and more comfortable to lie down and exercise, but her waist injury had not recovered yet. It was very difficult for her to use her own strength to sit up from a lying position. Anhao heaved a sigh of relief after a long time of hard work. When she jumped down from the second floor of the hotel, she was already prepared to be crippled. Now, the wound on her forehead only needed to be applied with some medicine every day. The other bruises on her body were also fine. Only the waist injury from the fall was more serious. She was already very satisfied. She raised her hand and sat up back and forth with the help of the support bar. At the same time, she sighed that the waist was indeed the most vulnerable part of the human body¡­ After exercising for about twenty minutes, Anhao got up and lay down on another piece of equipment. It was her first time doing rehabilitation exercises after she was discharged from the hospital. Although she did not hurt her bones, her waist was still sore and painful. This equipment was the same as the previous one, which required her to gradually recover the strength of her waist. However, this one did not have a support bar, so she needed to support her body with both hands and slowly push her body forward. Anhao tried to do it a few times and felt that this action was a little awkward. Fortunately, she was the only one in the room, and this equipment was much more comfortable than the previous one. After she persisted for more than ten minutes, she lay on it weakly and took a deep breath for a while. After resting for a while, she continued. She was doing it seriously, but because of the soreness in her waist, she suddenly froze in one position. She wanted to lie down again after the soreness passed. The door was suddenly opened, and Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng walking over from the corner of her eye. She was shocked. Her actions were a little too awkward, and she wanted to lie back down, but because she was too anxious, she felt a cramp on the side of her waist. Her face turned pale from the pain, and she lay back down. At the same time, she raised her hand to hold her waist and cursed softly,¡±F * ck!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Hancheng walked over. Sprain?¡± Anhao pressed her waist as she opened her eyes and glared at him.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you discuss company matters with Lin Qing outside? Why did you suddenly come in? You scared me and caused my waist injury to worsen¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already reached out to support her. Anhao called out softly,¡±¡±Be gentle, it hurts¡­¡± ¡°Where does it hurt?¡± Zuo Hancheng no longer had the intention to joke around with her. As he helped her up, he looked at her waist. Anhao pointed at her waist with a pained expression.¡±¡±Here, here. I can¡¯t move. I think I¡¯m cramping up¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng placed an arm on her shoulder and let her lean on him as she slowly stood up. At the same time, he reached out and gently massaged the cramped area on her waist. Anhao endured the pain and groaned,¡±¡±Did I exercise too much on the first day? Why does it hurt more than before?¡± Seeing that her expression had eased up a lot, the place where she had cramped or sprained her waist was much better. Zuo Hancheng continued to massage her waist. At the same time, he glanced at the sweat on her forehead and the two rehabilitation devices that she had just used. He said softly,¡±They are not just rehabilitation equipment. They are just some ordinary fitness tools suitable for your waist injury recovery. You have to use the least amount of strength to stretch your waist bit by bit.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao furrowed her brows in pain. At this moment, because he was rubbing her too comfortably, she leaned against him and did not move.¡±Then what should I do?¡± ¡°That¡¯s all for today. I¡¯ll teach you tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll teach me?¡± Anhao thought about how embarrassing it was for her to do these two pieces of equipment herself. If he were to teach her, she would not be able to do it anymore. However, she was in no mood to reject him now that her back was hurting. She only cooperated with him as he massaged her waist. She frowned and said,¡±Can I stop exercising? My waist injury was originally serious. I¡¯ll slowly recover.¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Anhao frowned.¡± It hurts too much. I can¡¯t take it.¡±¡± ¡°From tomorrow onwards, do rehabilitation exercises within my field of vision. Don¡¯t be alone anymore. If you do anything irregular, I¡¯ll remind you, and it won¡¯t hurt so much anymore.¡± Zuo Hancheng massaged her a few more times. Just as Anhao sighed unwillingly, he suddenly carried her up. Chapter 649 - Chapter 649: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (1) Chapter 649: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Ah! What are you doing?¡± Anhao cried out in surprise and instinctively raised her hand to hug his neck. When she realized what she was doing, she quickly took her hand down again. Zuo Hancheng used the force of her leaning against the door to pull out his hand at the same time as she put her hand down. He pulled her hand up and placed it on his neck again. Anhao looked at him with a shocked expression, but he had already opened the door and walked out with her in his arms. Anhao could finally take her hand off the sofa after she was placed on it. However, her heart was still racing when Zuo Hancheng forced her to hug his neck. She did not know what he meant by that. Was he afraid that she would fall? It seemed that his arm strength was pretty good when he was holding her, so there was no possibility of him falling off. She really couldn¡¯t use normal thinking to think about a black-bellied man. Anhao was sitting on the sofa, still recovering from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions. Suddenly, she heard a voice and turned around to see Zuo Hancheng taking out the first aid kit and placing it on the coffee table in front of her. However, he casually rummaged through it before he turned around and picked up his phone to call Lin Qing, who had just left and had not gone far. Anhao sat on the sofa in pain. She didn¡¯t even feel this much pain when she was hospitalized. Now, she felt like she had sprained her waist instead of falling down. As expected, it wasn¡¯t a good thing to not exercise for a long time. When she was practicing Taekwondo, her body was very flexible. Twenty minutes later, Lin Qing appeared in front of Anhao again with a bag of medicine. Inside were the red oil, Yunnan Yunnan white medicine, bone setting water, and so on. After Anhao looked at the medicine, she glanced at Lin Qing. Lin Qing smiled at her and turned around to say,¡±¡±President Zuo, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± ¡°Okay, thanks.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not look at her. He walked over and picked up the medicine. Lin Qing didn¡¯t feel awkward and smiled politely at Anhao before leaving. Zuo Hancheng had just opened the bottle of red oil when Anhao raised her hand and pinched her nose.¡±¡±I can¡¯t stand this smell.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear him. He walked over with an opened bottle of red oil.¡±Get down.¡± Anhao looked at him in shock. Should I lie down?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly.¡±Could it be me? My waist isn¡¯t injured.¡± Anhao¡¯s back was indeed hurting a lot. Since Zuo Hancheng did not go to work today, it was not a waste of his working time. She thought for two seconds and obediently turned her body to the side. Enduring the pain in her waist, she slowly lay down on the soft sofa. Zuo Hancheng immediately sat down beside her and lifted the hem of her clothes. He even peeled the edge of her pants down. Anhao knew that his purpose was to help her apply the medicine, but she still twisted it slightly in embarrassment.¡±Alright, don¡¯t go any further¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. At the same time, he poured some of the ointment on his hand and slowly rubbed it to warm it up. Then, he placed his hand on the place where she had just twisted her waist and the place where she still felt pain from the fall. Although her waist still hurt, the feeling of being massaged was very comfortable. Moreover, although the ointment did not taste good, it was still hot after applying it. It really felt much better. Anhao lay down comfortably and closed her eyes. After enjoying it for a while, she said,¡±¡±Lin Qing bought so many medicines. You can also try the Yunnan Baiyao and Bone-Setting Water. Why did you only open the red oil? This taste is really too difficult to describe¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her nose was itchy. She held back her sneeze and only raised her hand to rub her nose. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s strength was just right. When she was in the hospital, he knew very well where her injury was the most serious and where her waist hurt the most. Anhao did not need to say anything more as his hand had already caressed the spot where she needed to be massaged the most. As she massaged, it was comfortable, but after all, the person who massaged and applied medicine for her was not the doctor but Zuo Hancheng. After Anhao felt that the pain was no longer so painful, she could not help but want to caress him. She felt as if there were electric currents in the places that Zuo Hancheng touched¡­ The atmosphere was really ambiguous. Although Zuo Hancheng was really just helping her apply the ointment and did not have any intention of extending his hand any further, Anhao still arched her body slightly uncomfortably. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand suddenly stopped.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± he said. Anhao did not turn around to look at him and continued to lie down.¡±¡±This is the first time you¡¯ve personally served someone other than yourself, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Hancheng actually answered,¡± I only sprained my ankle when I was 12 years old. At that time, it was the maid at home who helped me apply the medicine. Even I didn¡¯t enjoy the treatment of applying the medicine myself.¡±¡± She just wanted to find a topic to talk about to ease the awkwardness. Why did it feel like they couldn¡¯t continue this topic? It was obvious that the boss had never served himself properly in his entire life. He had only served Gu Anhao. Anhao thought for a while and forced a smile.¡±¡±Then I¡¯m really flattered. Hehehe¡­¡± ¡°You should have been flattered.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, his hand had already left her waist. Anhao thought that it was over and was about to sit up, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand pressed against hers again. She immediately lay back down. Because of this sudden movement, her pants, which had been pulled down a little, slid down a little. She felt a chill on her butt. This feeling was really hard to describe, so she twisted it again.¡±Um, let me pull up my pants¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand naturally lifted her up. Anhao was speechless. She lay weakly on the sofa, completely motionless. Zuo Hancheng, we¡¯re divorced. You¡¯re helping me pull up my pants so naturally. Are you trying to embarrass me to death? His hand continued to rub the painful spot on her waist. It was obvious that he had only poured some medicine on her back just now, so he suddenly left her waist. The room was quiet, but the silence was so strange that Anhao didn¡¯t know what to do. She knew that Zuo Hancheng had not treated her as coldly and heartlessly as she had imagined. Her heart was already in turmoil. However, she also knew how cruel and heartless she had been these past few years. Therefore, she really did not know how to face this kind of love that was almost grand. At the very least, she hadn¡¯t thought about it yet¡­ The only thing she could feel now was the hand behind her waist. It was warm and strong, soothing the pain she had suffered from the ordeal. It was as if it was supposed to be like this, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Chapter 650 - Chapter 650: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (2) Chapter 650: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (2) Translator: 549690339 Yes, yes, yes, yes. He wasn¡¯t embarrassed, but she was! It was not easy to wait for this torture¡­Oh no, the application of the ointment was over. Zuo Hancheng put away the ointment and turned to wash his hands. Anhao sat up and felt much better. She rubbed her waist again and felt that no matter how hard she massaged, it was not as comfortable as Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. Even though it was his first time serving someone, he could still control his strength so well. He was born in the Zuo family. If he was from a medical family, he would probably be a super, super charming orthopedic doctor now. Anhao was able to stand up freely now, and it was no longer as painful. She bent over and was about to put the medicine into the first aid kit when Zuo Hancheng said after he came out of the shower,¡±¡±Don¡¯t put the red oil in.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Anhao raised her eyes. Are you going to throw it away after using it once?¡± Wouldn¡¯t it be too wasteful? ¡°Put it aside for now. You can use it temporarily for the next few days.¡± ¡°?¡±Anhao¡¯s face was full of question marks. She didn¡¯t speak and took out the red oil oil. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but mutter,¡±¡±Use it temporarily for the next few days? How many more times do you want to wipe me?¡± Even though she said that, her voice was very soft. She did not know if Zuo Hancheng had heard her. He turned around and opened the window to let some air out so that the smell of the red oil in the room would dissipate. At the same time, he said,¡±Safflower oil is good for treating bruises, but it¡¯s not suitable for pregnant women.¡± Anhao¡¯s face turned black.¡± I¡¯m not pregnant.¡±¡± ¡°You can¡¯t do it during the pregnancy preparation stage either.¡± Anhao took a deep breath and tried her best to show that she didn¡¯t understand. She stared at his back as he opened the window on the other side. Her voice was almost squeezed out from her teeth.¡±Who wants to get pregnant with you?!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked back. The sunlight outside the window shone on the side of his face, sprinkling a golden glow. He was smiling at the same time, but he did not do it deliberately. He only turned around and walked over just as Anhao was about to lose herself in his good looks. Anhao subconsciously took a step back and raised her hand to keep a distance from him.¡±¡± Although it¡¯s common to have children out of marriage in this era, it¡¯s still illegal. Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t do anything rash. I¡¯m still suffering from a waist injury and need rehabilitation treatment. I can¡¯t do any exercise that I shouldn¡¯t do¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng walked closer to her, but he did not stop and only said,¡±¡±Of course, something like having a child out of marriage won¡¯t happen to me.¡± Anhao was shocked. She suddenly remembered what her roommate had said when she saw her divorce agreement before she returned to the country. They said that the divorce agreement was invalid. Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng would not be so unreliable. Since he had agreed to a divorce, he would definitely get a divorce. Moreover, he had sent her the divorce papers officially. Moreover, there had been no news from them for three years. It was obvious that he had divorced her completely. Her roommate wasn¡¯t Chinese, so maybe what she said was useless only against her country, not China. Anhao didn¡¯t really take it to heart¡­ However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words just now instantly reminded her of her roommate¡¯s words. She stood rooted to the ground for a while before she suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. Seeing that he was about to leave, she could not help but ask,¡±Well, Zuo Hancheng, the two of us¡­You¡¯re indeed divorced, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng had already arrived at the door. He glanced at her because of her words.¡±¡±What divorce?¡± Anhao almost choked. With this answer, was the divorce really invalid?! She didn¡¯t study law, but she wasn¡¯t illiterate either. Both of them had signed and stamped the divorce agreement. It couldn¡¯t be fake! Just as she was about to continue asking, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already left the room. Anhao quickly turned around and walked over, but her waist would hurt if she walked quickly, and she would not be able to catch up if she walked slowly. She could only hold her waist as she walked towards the door and asked anxiously,¡±Where are you going?¡± ¡°Throw the trash.¡± Anhao stared at the figure who had already left outside the door. Then, she saw Zuo Hancheng directly enter the elevator with a trash bag. She felt that his image at the altar had been shattered again. Why had she never seen Zuo Hancheng throw away trash before? Zuo Hancheng actually knew how to throw trash? Anhao shook her head as she held her waist and walked back to the sofa. She was still suspicious about the divorce agreement and felt that it was necessary to wait for Zuo Hancheng to come back from throwing the trash and ask him about it. In her impression, the marriage between the two of them was rather sloppy, so she did not take it too seriously when they divorced. She thought that it would be fine as long as they followed the law and signed the agreement and stamped it. It should not be complicated. In her mind, as long as it was something that Zuo Hancheng had signed, it would definitely not be a child¡¯s play. However, his words were indeed very suspicious¡­ It¡¯s really necessary to ask for the clear and clear current situation In the end, Anhao waited and waited for an hour, but Zuo Hancheng did not return. He was clearly wearing a T-shirt when he went out just now, not the formal attire he wore when he went to the office. He probably wouldn¡¯t go to the office on the way. Moreover, it was already noon. Zuo Hancheng would not be so heartless as to leave her alone at home without food and go to the office. After waiting for a while, he did not return. Anhao got up and walked to the window to look outside, but she could not see where Zuo Hancheng was. She hesitated for a long time, not knowing if she should call him to ask. Heng Hai City¡¯s public security was very good. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng was not a small fry who did not have any skills. He would not go missing after personally throwing away the trash. Anhao turned around and went back to the sofa to continue waiting. After waiting for another ten minutes, she couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. She called Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone, and it only rang twice before it was picked up very quickly. As soon as he picked up the call, Anhao seemed to hear the sound of many cars driving by. So, he should not be in the neighborhood now, but by the roadside or somewhere else. Before she could ask, Zuo Hancheng said on the other end of the phone,¡±¡±There¡¯s a situation that needs me to deal with. If you¡¯re hungry, make something for yourself. You shouldn¡¯t be unable to take care of yourself now.¡± ¡°I can take care of myself, but what happened?¡± Anhao asked.¡± It shouldn¡¯t be a small matter for him to suddenly go out. Although Anhao felt that she shouldn¡¯t ask, she couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°The Mo family went to the police station to cause trouble. They wanted to bail out their son, Mo Yunfei, and they used a lot of connections.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was very calm. Judging from his tone, she knew that as long as he was around, nothing would happen. However, Anhao felt that this matter had something to do with her, so she said,¡±¡±Do you want me to go over too? After all, I¡¯m the victim. I¡¯ll be the witness to save trouble.¡± ¡°No need. Be good and stay at home. Don¡¯t wander around until your waist injury is healed.¡± Chapter 651 - Chapter 651: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (3) Chapter 651: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (3) Translator: 549690339 It was as if it was meaningless for her to go or not. If she went, it would only cause trouble. Anhao really wanted to help, so that Zuo Hancheng wouldn¡¯t be troubled by trivial matters because of her. Although she knew that the Mo family was just a small fry and would be fine, she still did not want to cause trouble for him¡­ However, after a moment of silence, Zuo Hancheng hung up the phone, not giving her the chance to ask to go to the police station with him. Actually, Mo Yunfei had indeed gone overboard that day, and he was one of the masterminds. In the middle, Mo Yunfei had gone back on his word, which was why she had the chance to escape. Even if Mo Yunfei¡¯s going back on his word had helped her escape smoothly, it did not constitute a reason for Anhao to be grateful to Mo Yunfei. She also knew that with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intervention, not only would the Mo family never be able to stand out again, Mo Yunfei would probably spend the rest of his life in prison. Every time, it was Zuo Hancheng who helped her clean up the mess. Every time, he did not know the final outcome of these people. He often only saw them on the news. Although Zuo Hancheng had always protected her well, Mo Yunfei¡¯s incident had indeed started because she had pretended to be Huang Amao and went on blind dates. Mo Yunfei had made a grave mistake. However, it seemed a little too serious to be imprisoned forever or to directly threaten his life. It¡¯s all good, it¡¯s not soft-hearted, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m thinking about Zuo Hancheng, how I¡¯m thinking about Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Yunfei, if Mo Yunfei, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Yun Fei, if Mo Yun Fei, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Yun Fei, if Mo Yun Fei, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Yun Fei, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if Mo Jia, if it¡¯s this matter After all, if Huang Amao hadn¡¯t begged her to go on a blind date, there wouldn¡¯t have been so many problems. That day in the hospital, Huang Amao¡¯s eyes were obviously showing her uneasiness. However, Huang Amao¡¯s personality was there, so she didn¡¯t say much. However, she still felt extremely upset. Anhao thought about it for a while, then picked up her phone and called Zuo Hancheng. The call was picked up very quickly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I have a back injury, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to go out and take a car. I still plan to go to the police station to take a look.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that you don¡¯t have to interfere in this matter?¡± ¡°I know. It¡¯s not that I want to get involved in this matter, but I think I need to talk to Mo Yunfei. After this, you can solve this matter however you want. I won¡¯t interfere, nor will I be soft-hearted or do anything to them.¡± ¡°The reason?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to want to talk to her about Mo Yunfei. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng already knew what had happened to her when she escaped with her clothes in a mess. In such a situation, no man would be able to tolerate it, let alone Zuo Hancheng. They would even chop Mo Yunfei into pieces. ¡± Lisa was the one who hit me the hardest. If Mo Yunfei hadn¡¯t gone back on his word and abandoned the most despicable way to take me away, I might not have been able to escape. I wouldn¡¯t have interfered in this matter, but I want to talk to Mo Yunfei.¡± There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Anhao said,¡±¡±Actually, it was mainly because of Huang Amao¡¯s relationship. After all, I was helping Huang Amao go on a blind date at that time, so I provoked Mo Yunfei. I couldn¡¯t let Huang Amao and her parents have a knot in their hearts when the Mo family was down and out.¡± ¡°Come down, I¡¯m in the parking lot.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had actually agreed, Anhao quickly got up and changed her clothes. Then, she picked up her phone and bag and left the house in a hurry. She took the elevator to the underground parking lot of Heng Hai City. When she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car was already near the exit, she quickly walked over and opened the door to sit in the front passenger seat. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡± You walked so fast. Does your waist not hurt anymore?¡±¡± ¡°Much better.¡± Anhao smiled and paused for a moment before saying,¡±¡±I thought you wouldn¡¯t let me go to the police station. I didn¡¯t expect you to agree.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say a word and had already driven the car out. The view in front of her eyes brightened up instantly. Anhao squinted her eyes and looked out of the car window. In fact, Zuo Hancheng knew that she had suffered a great shock that day. If she did not talk to Mo Yunfei about it after the incident, she would have felt a knot in her heart that would never go away. It was because he knew that he would indulge her decision. She wanted to say thank you, but she felt that the atmosphere would definitely change very strangely if she did so, so she just quietly turned to look at him. Even though Zuo Hancheng was good at driving, he was very focused when he was driving, so she could take the opportunity to secretly look at him for a while. She looked at his hands on the steering wheel again. She probably couldn¡¯t even count the amount of money he had earned with his hands. His hands also controlled too much power, determining the monthly rations of hundreds of thousands of people in a large enterprise. His hands could call the wind and call the rain, but they could also be confined to the steering wheel to protect the lives of the people in the car. Her hands had also used the red oil to help her relieve the pain on her waist. Yes, he even knew how to throw trash. She did not know why she had suddenly noticed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. She had always been fooling around with him before they got divorced. She had never paid attention to any details or experienced anything in detail. Sitting in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car now, she felt at ease and at ease. It was as if no matter where she went in this world, she would never lose his gaze. It was a subtle feeling that was indescribable. The atmosphere in the car was inexplicably quiet. Anhao cleared her throat and broke the silence. How¡¯s Zuo Yue¡¯s matter?¡± As they approached the police station where Mo Yunfei was, Zuo Hancheng turned the steering wheel and turned into the intersection ahead. He still looked ahead and said to her calmly,¡±¡±He was forcefully brought back by his family and locked in his room.¡± ¡°Grounded?¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise. Wasn¡¯t it said that Zuo Yue¡¯s relationship was problematic? She was already 22 years old. She shouldn¡¯t be grounded just because she was in a relationship, right? Did the old master interfere? What era is this¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not as simple as you think.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain much. He stopped the car outside the police station and looked at her.¡±We¡¯ll go back to America after your waist injury recovers a little.¡± Anhao was shocked.¡± I¡¯m not saying that I¡¯m going to America with you. I¡¯m just concerned about Zuo Yue. Besides, Minister Qin only gave me a week off. I have to go back to work next week. How can I keep taking leave?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her before he got out of the car.¡±¡±Same old rules. Follow me, double the salary.¡± Anhao quickly got out of the car and followed behind him as she said,¡±¡±You passed my design drawings previously. Did you already ask me to take leave?¡± Chapter 652 - Chapter 652: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (4) Chapter 652: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (4) Translator: 549690339 Before Zuo Hancheng could respond, a few people from the police station had already come out to welcome him. Anhao could only follow behind and look at his back, feeling aggrieved. Other than the fact that she was almost bullied by Mo Yunfei, everything was within his calculations. After the plan was finalized, their office only needed the other staff to complete the design plan. She did not need to constantly interfere in this matter, so she could take a long leave of absence from now on until the completion of the project. Moreover, with Zuo Hancheng around, the government would not owe her the remaining 200,000 yuan after the completion of the project. What a¡­ An old fox among old foxes, too cunning! However, Mr. V had not replied to her yet. She could not cut off contact with him so easily. If she still had to go to the United States with Zuo Hancheng, she had to explain Mr. V¡¯s situation to him. But how was she supposed to contact Mr. V? He couldn¡¯t possibly trouble Mobai to pass on a message. Anhao stood outside the door for a while. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng, who had already entered the door, walked to the door and looked at her.¡±Not coming in?¡± Anhao looked up and met his gaze. She remembered her purpose for coming and quickly walked in. There were not many people in front of the police station, and she did not see anyone from the Mo family who came to cause trouble. Zuo Hancheng said,¡±They¡¯re all in the backyard of the police station. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± ¡± That Mo Yunfei is also in the backyard?¡± Anhao asked. Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Before he left, he gave the two policemen beside him a look. The two policemen nodded and turned to Anhao.¡± Miss Gu, Mo Yunfei is locked up in the detention room. It¡¯s not suitable for you to go there. Let¡¯s take him to the interrogation room. There¡¯s a protective glass wall in the interrogation room. You can talk to him there.¡±¡± ¡°Oh, okay, thank you.¡±¡± When she went to the interrogation room with the two policemen, Anhao saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure walking out of the back door. Although he was the only one who came, she felt that no matter how many people came to cause trouble in the backyard, they were not his match at all. They could only blame Zuo Hancheng. Even if she was the victim, she couldn¡¯t save anyone. After waiting for about ten minutes outside the interrogation room, she heard the sound of a door opening, but it was not the door in front of her. It seemed that there was a door leading to the detention center. After another two minutes, the police officer outside the door said to her politely,¡±You can go in now, Miss Gu. Mr. Zuo said that you¡¯re injured and shouldn¡¯t stay in there for too long.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Anhao glanced at the interrogation room again and walked in. After she entered, she saw Mo Yunfei sitting in the protective glass wall. He was handcuffed and motionless. He was very quiet, as if he had already known that she was coming and was waiting for her. Looking at Mo Yunfei¡¯s expression, it was as if he knew that he was about to die and had already accepted any disaster. Mo Yunfei looked up at Anhao when he saw her walk in. He could still see the marks on Anhao¡¯s forehead from Lisa¡¯s previous hit. It was obvious. After all, she had been hit too hard. It would take at least two to three months for it to disappear completely. He could still see the medicine on her forehead. There were some scratches on Anhao¡¯s chin. She had gotten it when she jumped off the building. Although it wasn¡¯t that serious, Mo Yunfei knew what she had gone through, so he could recognize the wounds on her body at a glance. Anhao sat outside the glass wall and looked at Mo Yunfei, who was sitting inside. She raised her eyebrows and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re not surprised that I came to see you?¡± Mo Yunfei said expressionlessly,¡±¡±When I found out that you were indeed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ex-wife, I was no longer surprised by anything.¡± It meant that her true identity had already shocked him completely. Nothing could shock him more than this. Anhao curled her lips.¡± I¡¯ve told you before, but you didn¡¯t believe me.¡±¡± Mo Yunfei looked at her expressionlessly.¡±¡±I¡¯ve suffered retribution. Are you satisfied now? Are you here to show off?¡± Hearing his attitude, Anhao didn¡¯t get angry. She just smiled and said,¡±¡±If I needed to show off with this identity, I wouldn¡¯t have hidden it all this time. You¡¯re clearly the one who took the wrong path. Why do you have to speak in such a tone as if the whole world has tricked you?¡± ¡± Humph!¡± Mo Yunfei snorted.¡± I¡¯m about to die, and you still expect me to chat and laugh with you?¡±¡± After a moment of silence, Anhao said,¡±¡±Why did you suddenly kick open the door and take me away that day? Was it really a moment of soft-heartedness?¡± ¡°Whether you take those photos or not has nothing to do with me.¡±¡± I didn¡¯t mind at first,¡± Mo Yunfei said calmly.¡± I had already returned to my room. Later, I felt uneasy, so I came out for a walk. I heard Lisa hit you with something, and I also heard you suddenly go silent. I didn¡¯t want to kill you.¡±¡± Anhao frowned and asked again,¡±If I hadn¡¯t jumped out of the window at that time, would you really have done those things to me?¡± ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao looked at him seriously.¡± Such a straightforward answer. Are you giving up the chance to save yourself?¡±¡± ¡°No matter what answer I give now, the result will be the same. Zuo Hancheng and I are both men. I know very well whether he will let me go or not.¡± Anhao was silent. Indeed, if Zuo Hancheng still let Mo Yunfei go after such a thing, it would be a miracle. ¡°Since you brought me out on a whim, I don¡¯t think I can save you. However, I¡¯ll try my best to make Zuo Hancheng give them a chance to live on account of Mobai.¡± Anhao stood up and saw that Mo Yunfei¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t care about his family¡¯s safety. It seemed that she had thought too much of Mo Yunfei. A playboy who was spoiled by his family would not have ended up like this if he really cared about his parents ¡®feelings and thoughts. So it was not surprising that he did not care about what his family would do. Then she had nothing to say. Anyway, she had already asked what she wanted to ask. Anhao turned around and left. ¡°Help me pass a message to Zuo Hancheng.¡± Mo Yunfei suddenly said. Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him. Her expression was clear as she said,¡±¡±Tell him what you want to say. I believe that he will definitely come to see you personally before you die.¡± Seeing the coldness in Anhao¡¯s eyes, Mo Yunfei was silent for a while before saying,¡±¡±If it wasn¡¯t the 2nd floor, but a dozen floors, would you still have jumped down?¡± Anhao stood there without saying anything. She slowly turned around, but her eyes were filled with a cold smile that Mo Yunfei did not understand. Mo Yunfei looked at her and narrowed his eyes at her smile. He only knew that her answer might be beyond his expectations. Chapter 653 - Chapter 653: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (5) Chapter 653: The Sexy Kitten Style Nightgown (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± No, I¡¯ll take advantage of the fact that my body is gradually recovering its strength to kill you when you walk out of the bathroom. This is self-defense.¡±¡± When Mo Yunfei looked at her in surprise, Anhao sneered,¡±¡±You should be glad that I spared your life, but unfortunately, Zuo Hancheng won¡¯t let you go.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Anhao opened the door and walked out. However, the moment she opened the door and walked out, she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng, who had returned from the backyard. He was standing outside the interrogation room. Anhao was shocked for a moment, but she remained calm and closed the door behind her. Then, she looked at Zuo Hancheng and the police officers behind him. She suspected that Zuo Hancheng and the police officers had heard what she had just said inside. Anhao cleared her throat, as if nothing had happened, as if saying: ¡°Have you dealt with the people brought by the Mo family?¡± ¡°Of course it was resolved. With Mr. Zuo¡¯s help, those people who came to cause trouble for the Mo family did not dare to cause trouble anymore. With a few words, those people were scared out of their wits. Miss Gu, if you really killed someone in the hotel, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t pursue the matter. After all, it was legitimate self-defense.¡± The police officer standing behind Zuo Hancheng did not let go of any opportunity to flatter him. Although An Hao could tell that he was joking, he still explained with a smile,¡±¡±I was just saying that for Mo Yunfei to hear. I was drugged and had no strength at all.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly spoke, not giving her the chance to continue chatting with the police. Anhao was tired as well. She had sprawled on the ground for a while after exercising because of her back pain. Then, she went downstairs and took a taxi here. She couldn¡¯t wait to lie down there for a while. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unfriendly attitude, the police officers did not dare to say anything more and only sent them out of the police station respectfully. Before she got into the car, the police officers were still exchanging pleasantries, so Anhao got into the car first. When Zuo Hancheng got into the car, she turned to look at him.¡±¡±If I¡¯m going to stay at your place for the next few days, there¡¯s no need for Lin Qing to buy clothes. I¡¯ll go back and get some clothes.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. Those clothes of yours are all old clothes that you brought back from the United States.¡± ¡°How do you know that?¡± Anhao was surprised. Zuo Hancheng did not explain. He drove the car away and said,¡±¡±Did Lin Qing buy a few things that you didn¡¯t like? There¡¯s a department store on the way back. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to buy it. Lin Qing¡¯s taste is much better than mine. They¡¯re all very good-looking, but¡­¡± Anhao wanted to say that Lin Qing had bought underwear and normal clothes to wear outside, but he had forgotten to buy pajamas. In the morning, she had a pajama fight with Zuo Hancheng. She wanted to go back and get two sets of pajama to avoid the awkwardness after she woke up and took a shower. However, if Zuo Hancheng did not intend to let her take a long ride to the far side of the Grand Court, she would not mention this matter anymore. She really did not feel the need to buy new ones. Of course, he should have known that she was staying at Luxury Court Private Park, but he had never exposed it. Since he did not say it, she would not take the initiative to say it and slap herself in the face. Anhao had already given up on buying pajamas, but Zuo Hancheng stopped the car when he passed by the department store. Anhao looked in the direction of the shopping mall, and the corners of her mouth twitched.¡±¡± Rich and overbearing people are indeed different. They¡¯re just casually buying new ones everywhere. I clearly have a lot of clothes in my suitcase¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you spend my money on the clothes you bought in America?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± The money that was injected into your card every month during the past few years of studying abroad will always have an additional expense. You used it to buy clothes and daily necessities.¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been alone in the United States for the past few years. How do you know so much? You know where I¡¯m going to use the money after I withdraw it?¡±Anhao looked at him speechlessly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not important.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to buy clothes?¡± he asked, raising his eyebrows.¡± Anhao was stunned. Clothes were not that important, but pajamas were. Since he had already said that, no matter how coquettish she was, it was not the case. However, when she got out of the car, she still emphasized,¡±A few years ago in the United States, all kinds of fees added up to about 200,000 yuan. Anyway, you have people there, so many fees were waived. It¡¯s not very expensive in all aspects. Just take it that I owe you 200,000 yuan. I¡¯ll pay you back in installments. After the payment for the design of the villa at the resort comes, I¡¯ll pay you back 40,000 yuan first!¡± As she spoke, she walked into the department store angrily. Zuo Hancheng, however, stood by the car with one hand in his pocket as he watched her angrily walk into the mall. Forty thousand? She didn¡¯t fall to the ground, so she knew that she would save 10,000 for her meals. Anhao always felt that the underwear Lin Qing bought for her was too revealing. She didn¡¯t know what Lin Qing was thinking when he bought it for her, so after entering the mall, Anhao went to buy two more conservative sets of underwear. When she saw the same cat-shaped underwear that she had worn in the lingerie store, Anhao felt uneasy. When Zuo Hancheng parked his car and came in to look for her, Anhao hurriedly turned around and pushed him out with the underwear she had bought, not letting him see the cat-shaped sexy underwear hanging inside. Zuo Hancheng was pushed out of the lingerie store by her, but he did not stop by force. After he was pushed some distance away, he turned back to look at her. Anhao did not wait for him to speak and pointed upstairs.¡±The pajamas seller seems to be up there. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Before she could leave, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her waist. Zuo Hancheng stretched out his arm to hug her and she was pulled back into his embrace. Anhao was stunned for a moment and looked up at him in confusion.¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Was there something you couldn¡¯t let me see just now?¡± Anhao looked at him for a long while and said seriously,¡±¡±Men shouldn¡¯t enter women¡¯s underwear stores. There are many young girls shopping inside. They will feel embarrassed when they see men inside.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. ¡°Of course.¡± Anhao continued to put on a serious expression and nodded to confirm the authenticity of her words. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and did not speak again. Anhao said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going up to buy pajamas.¡± As she said that, she hurriedly moved away from his embrace. However, just as she was about to walk away, she was suddenly hugged back by him. Anhao slammed into his embrace and suddenly raised her head.¡±What now?¡± She raised her head abruptly and bumped into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chin. Her cheek brushed past his lips and Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned hot as she looked at him. Chapter 654 - Chapter 654: The Sexy Nightgown in the Styled of a Kitten (6) Chapter 654: The Sexy Nightgown in the Styled of a Kitten (6) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng maintained his position and did not change. He even smiled in satisfaction when he kissed her face. Anhao cursed softly and was about to push him away, but he held her shoulders and hugged her waist. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±Buy back the underwear from earlier and forget about the 200,000 you owe me.¡± Anhao took a deep breath.¡±How did you see it?¡± ¡°Just as I walked to the door, I glanced inside and saw it at first glance.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not hide anything. Anhao raised her hand to her forehead and pushed him hard.¡±You, you, let go of me first.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to buy it?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± Of course, there¡¯s another set in the Gilt Scenery Garden. Although it¡¯s been in the cabinet for three years, you¡¯ve only worn it once. As long as you don¡¯t mind that it¡¯s already worn out, you can go ahead.¡±¡± ¡°What do you mean by that? Who said I agreed to wear that damn thing?¡±Anhao raised her hands and pushed him away. This time, Zuo Hancheng had already released her. Obviously, he knew that she had reached a critical point, so he managed to avoid being affected by the force of her hands while she struggled. ¡°Three years ago, I was also obsessed with wearing that thing and swinging it in front of you. In the end, didn¡¯t I dance for nothing? After suffering once, do you think I can suffer a second time? Wasn¡¯t it just 200,000 yuan? I said I would return it to you within three years, but now it¡¯s shortened to one year. Are you satisfied?¡± Anhao then turned around and hurriedly walked up the lift. She stood on top of the lift and turned around to look at Zuo Hancheng. He had one hand on his waist and the other hand was holding the electronic car key. He was smiling at her with a helpless yet loving expression, as if he wouldn¡¯t get angry no matter how she resisted. Anhao quickly turned around and patted her face. Crazy, crazy, Gu Anhao, you¡¯re definitely crazy! Zuo Hancheng is abnormal. Why are you abnormal too? However, I¡¯ve taken all kinds of sexy lingerie topics to flirt with you, you¡¯re blushing and your heart is beating fast, but your lips have brushed your face, you¡¯ve even slept with him, you¡¯ve seen everything, how can your heart beat so fast now! This wasn¡¯t a Korean love drama where one kiss would cause her face to turn red and her heart to race. Moreover, life wasn¡¯t a TV drama, so why was she blushing? She was already twenty-three years old. She was not as ignorant as a nineteen or twenty-year-old girl. Anhao closed her eyes and raised her hand to knock on her head. She walked down when the elevator reached the floor above. She hesitated for a moment before turning back. She saw that Zuo Hancheng had also gotten on the elevator at some point in time. He was already halfway up the elevator and was about to reach behind her. Anhao pursed her lips. He had only glanced at her once, but her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and walked towards the specialty stores that sold pajamas. Originally, Anhao had been in a few pajama shops. The female shop assistants had recommended her some clothes that looked pink and tender. Although Anhao still had a wound on her forehead, she was wearing a set of bright-colored sportswear clothes that Lin Qing had bought. She probably thought that she was still a student¡­ Anhao still couldn¡¯t stand those pink and tender things, so she went to another shop and took a fancy to a khaki nightgown. After all, it was summer now, and there were more nightgowns hanging in these shops. As she picked it up and looked at the sleeping group, a voice suddenly sounded from behind her.¡±It looks pretty good.¡± As soon as she heard the sound of Zuo Hancheng approaching, Anhao quickly hung her nightgown back on the hanger. She turned to look at the other pajamas and picked up another set of short-sleeved and half-length pajamas of the same color. She was very satisfied with the conservativeness. There was no sound behind her. She thought that Zuo Hancheng was not satisfied with the dress. If he was not satisfied, it would suit her taste. Anhao turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the store, looking at the couple¡¯s pajamas on the male and female models. Anhao was stunned for a moment before she walked over. Don¡¯t you have one at home?¡± Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her once before looking at the sharp-eyed shop assistant who was walking over quickly.¡±¡±This one, two sets of men¡¯s and women¡¯s according to our size.¡± ¡°Okay, sir. You look very tall. You¡¯re at least 185 years old. Come in and take your measurements. We¡¯ll help you and this lady choose pajamas of the right size.¡±The shop assistant smiled and welcomed Zuo Hancheng into the shop. Anhao stood outside the door and looked at the two sets of pajamas. The men¡¯s pajamas were dark gray with a few dark blue stripes, while the women¡¯s were light gray with a few pink stripes. They were definitely couple pajamas! Looking at the price tag of the two sets of pajamas, Anhao¡¯s forehead jumped. She wanted to take out a small notebook and silently record the hidden loss of 2,600 yuan! If she really bought it, did she owe him or did he buy it for her? Was Zuo Hancheng really capable of sending her to sleep as a couple? Anhao turned around and walked in. The shop assistant had already taken Zuo Hancheng¡¯s measurements with her starry eyes. She took out a size 185 male pajamas bag and stood up. Anhao walked in and pulled her over without waiting for her to speak.¡±Miss, you should be wearing a 165. Come, take your measurements.¡± This kind of big shop was really troublesome. They even had to take size to buy pajamas. After Anhao was pulled over, she glared at Zuo Hancheng while her height was being measured. She then gave him a look, meaning that she should stop buying and find an excuse to leave after her measurements were done. However, Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not see her. After the shop assistant brought out the men¡¯s pajamas, he was waiting for her women¡¯s pajamas. ¡°As expected, I should have taken the 165.¡± The shop assistant smiled and turned around to ask someone to get it. A few minutes later, the two of them took the pajamas and swiped the card at the cashier of the pajamas shop. Anhao looked at the amount of 2,600 yuan and her heart continued to bleed. ¡°Two sets of pajamas are so expensive.¡±She stood behind Zuo Hancheng and muttered softly. Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear him clearly and did not respond. After swiping the card, the shop assistant said,¡±¡±Miss, your husband is so good to you. Of course, you have to buy good pajamas. This shows that the two of you value the quality of life. The more comfortable you wear at home, the higher your standards for the quality of life. Actually, there are pajamas that cost more than ten thousand yuan in our mall. For example, the brand on the fifth floor¡­¡± Just now, he was still calling her ¡± this lady ¡°, but now, he was directly calling her husband. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched slightly when she heard that. She picked up the pajamas and rolled her eyes at Zuo Hancheng. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng threw the men¡¯s pajamas into her arms. ¡°Take it. We¡¯ll wear it together when we go back.¡± Anhao pursed her lips when she heard that. Why did it feel like when she accepted this set of pajamas, it was equivalent to tacitly agreeing to resume cohabitation with him? This situation didn¡¯t seem right¡­ Chapter 655 - Chapter 655: Zuo Hancheng, I’m Hungry (1) Chapter 655: Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m Hungry (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao bought a set of pajamas that she liked as a backup. Before she walked out of the mall, Zuo Hancheng signaled her with his eyes if she wanted to go to the underwear store again. She was obviously asking her to buy that set of kitty lingerie. She was not buying it! In order to prevent Zuo Hancheng from buying it for her like he did in the past, he only needed to do such a shameless thing once. If he did it too many times, he would really lose his Godhood! Anhao took the initiative to hold his arm and forcefully dragged Zuo Hancheng out of the mall. Zuo Hancheng did not insist. When they walked out of the mall, Anhao wanted to take her hand off his arm, but as soon as she put her hand down, he suddenly held it. The way he held it was as natural as if they were a couple in love or a couple who had been married for many years and still loved each other. Anhao looked at their hands and then at the shopping bags that he had already carried over. After thinking for a moment, she said,¡±¡±Are we going back to your place or somewhere else?¡± ¡°Tired?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that my waist isn¡¯t very comfortable. It doesn¡¯t hurt that much, but it¡¯s a little sore.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Zuo Hancheng led her back to the car. ¡°It¡¯s fine to go back. I have something to ask you.¡±Actually, Anhao still wanted an answer on whether the divorce agreement would take effect. After all, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s answer was too ambiguous, but his attitude made her feel as if their relationship had not changed at all. Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear her. He opened the car door for her to sit in, then turned around and placed the shopping bags in the trunk of the car. Just before Zuo Hancheng got into the car, Anhao glanced at the caller ID that suddenly appeared on her phone. She hung up the phone after the ringtone rang once. It was a call from the detective company that had helped her investigate An Ping¡¯s background. They had been mainly investigating this matter for the past few days and had already set up a team in A City to investigate. Anhao should have gone to see them, but there had been too many things to do recently, so she hadn¡¯t been able to find the time. Right now, she did not even know whose blood she was bleeding with. She did not even know if her mother was dead or not. It was too chaotic. She did not want to add this kind of chaos to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s head, so she did not want him to know about these things for the time being. After she hung up the phone, the person on the other end knew that it was not convenient for her to answer the phone, so he did not call her immediately. Anhao looked at her phone for a while and turned to look out of the car window. She saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked back from the back of the car. When she opened the car door and got in, Anhao put her phone back into her bag. ¡°I heard your phone ring outside just now. Why didn¡¯t you pick it up?¡±¡± ¡°Yes, it only rang once before it was blocked by the phone¡¯s security software. I took a look and saw that it was a phone that had been marked with an advertisement.¡±After Anhao finished speaking calmly, she looked back and said,¡±I didn¡¯t buy much either. Why did you take so long to tidy up?¡± ¡°There are some samples of newly developed products that the partner company placed in my car two days ago. I haven¡¯t had time to take them out to look at them. It takes up too much space, so I organized them.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not ask her about the phone call. Anhao was not sure if Zuo Hancheng knew about her background. She had just been hospitalized and discharged from the hospital. After returning to the country, she did not want to cause him too much trouble in just a few days. On the other hand, Wenner, who was beside him, seemed to be able to help her. She just didn¡¯t know if Wenner would still help her now. Anhao thought about these things and did not notice Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. She only knew that the road was heading in the direction of the famous city of Henghai, so she continued to immerse herself in her own thoughts. This place was not far from Heng Hai Ming. When they arrived, Anhao was about to get off the car when Zuo Hancheng suddenly said,¡±¡±Whether it was three years ago or three years later, Anhao, I hope that you can give everything to me wholeheartedly and not hide yourself in a corner all the time.¡± Anhao froze and looked at him. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were fixed on the front and he was not looking at her. This was¡­ Could he tell that she was hiding something? Anhao pondered for a moment and replied,¡± I¡¯m not hiding in a corner. I just feel that I¡¯ve caused you enough trouble in the past. I don¡¯t want to cause you any more trouble¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her, his eyes darkening.¡±¡±I never thought that your birth and your mother¡¯s past were a problem.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes froze.¡± How did you know¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He got out of the car and took the clothes that she had just bought from the trunk. He walked into Heng Hai Mingdu first beside her.¡±Let¡¯s go home first.¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment, then quietly followed him back. When she entered the elevator, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was silent. Anhao felt that he seemed to be unhappy with her deliberate concealment just now. Although she could feel that the gap between the two of them was gradually disappearing, she didn¡¯t lie on purpose just now. She just didn¡¯t want him to worry about it with her. After all, she didn¡¯t even know who she was. After entering the house, Anhao slowly changed her shoes. Zuo Hancheng had already walked in. Anhao saw that he had gone to the study room and hesitated for a moment before following him. Just as she reached the door of the study, Zuo Hancheng had already walked out with a sealed document in his hand. He handed it to Anhao when she reached the door. ¡°If you want to investigate your mother¡¯s past, you don¡¯t need to hire a detective company. They might not be a fraud group, but they will exhaust all your financial resources before they help you find the truth. Why did you have to take a detour?¡± After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he walked out beside her. Anhao held the sealed document in her hand but did not dare to open it. She had a hunch that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have noticed that her background was unusual, so he had already investigated it. She also had a hunch that there must be many things that she could not imagine in this sealed document. She slowly hugged the document in her arms and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back.¡±¡±Do you even know why I came back?¡± Zuo Hancheng only turned to look at her.¡±¡±Shouldn¡¯t you be more concerned about the things in your hands now?¡± Anhao pinched the document in her hand and didn¡¯t say anything else. After a moment of silence, she suddenly turned around and went upstairs. After returning to her room on the second floor, she closed the door and looked at the thing in her hand again. If Zuo Hancheng had not known about it, he would not have had such an attitude. After a moment of hesitation, she raised her hand and tore the seal on the sealed document. As if she could finally touch the most real truth, she suppressed the trembling in her hands and took out a few pieces of paper from the document bag¡­ Chapter 656 - Chapter 656: Zuo Hancheng, I’m Hungry (2) Chapter 656: Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m Hungry (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had already gone back to her room for an hour and had yet to come out. Her room was very quiet, so quiet that it was as if no one was inside. Zuo Hancheng stood outside the door until he heard footsteps coming from inside. The door opened at the same time and Anhao walked out quickly. As soon as she walked out, she saw Zuo Hancheng. Anhao paused for a moment and quickly turned around to wipe her eyes with her hands. Then, she put on a smile and turned around. However, when she turned around, Zuo Hancheng did not move. It was as if he had been outside the door for the past two hours, accompanying her and waiting for her. ¡°Didn¡¯t Lin Qing bring some data from the company that you need to deal with this morning? Don¡¯t you have to go to the study?¡± Anhao smiled as she spoke, then returned the folder to him.¡±¡±I¡¯m done.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to take it, but when he took it, he noticed that Anhao¡¯s hand was holding the document bag for a moment. She did not let go immediately. ¡°Haven¡¯t you finished reading it?¡± he asked. Anhao quickly let go of her hand, then smiled.¡±¡±I was too engrossed in reading just now. I¡¯m a little sleepy. I¡¯ll go wash my face.¡± As she spoke, she was about to walk past Zuo Hancheng. However, her arm suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng grabbed her arm and pulled her back. At the same time, he turned to look at her reddened eyes. ¡°Did you cry?¡± Anhao took a deep breath and continued smiling.¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± However, she did not dare to look at him directly. She only turned her head slightly.¡±Perhaps it was because she was too shocked to see the truth. Her eyes kept staring back and forth without blinking, so she looked a little red.¡± It was not that Zuo Hancheng had not seen her ability to lie through her teeth. Usually, he would either let her fool him or tease her. However, at this moment, he held her arm tightly and did not let go, nor did he allow her to turn around and run away. Anhao couldn¡¯t walk away at all. She could only turn to look at him.¡±I want to wash my face¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to hide and cry all the time. You¡¯ve never cried in front of me for so long. Anhao, am I the person you trust the most?¡± Anhao sniffled and raised her hand to push his hand away, but Zuo Hancheng held onto her tightly. She had no choice but to stand there stiffly.¡±Actually, there¡¯s nothing to cry about. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m too surprised. Really¡­It¡¯s just that I¡¯m too surprised¡­¡± She laughed as she spoke.¡± I shed a few tears because I was surprised. I didn¡¯t cry for long. There¡¯s no need for me to run out and let you see me. I¡¯ll just go wash my face.¡±¡± However, Zuo Hancheng refused to let go of her. Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually became moist again. She held back her tears and looked up at him.¡±Zuo Hancheng! No one is as unreasonable as you! You clearly know why I¡¯m anxious, but you only let me know the truth now! You clearly know that I¡¯m feeling bad and only came out after comforting myself with great difficulty. Do you still want to force me to cry or something?¡± ¡°Get well soon and go to America. I¡¯ll accompany you to New York to settle down.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and her tears were instantly forced back.¡±¡±No!¡± ¡°No?¡± Zuo Hancheng frowned. Do you want to lie to yourself forever?¡± She finally understood why Zuo Hancheng did not tell her about her past. As expected, even if she knew, she would not be able to return to the place where she truly belonged. Even if she had long suspected the relationship between An Ping and the An family, even if she knew the real truth now, it seemed that there was no difference. She was still the abandoned child, the child who was hidden in a corner and not allowed to be discovered by outsiders¡­ ¡°Going to the United States was one of my conditions. As for the Andersons, we¡¯ll discuss it again after we arrive in the United States. Everything has to be done. Since you¡¯ve already decided to start, you can¡¯t hide anymore.¡± Anhao lowered her head and didn¡¯t say anything. She only curled her lips slightly, but her smile was a little self-deprecating. Zuo Hancheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm and pulled her towards him. Anhao staggered and stood in front of him. She looked up and saw the protective look in his eyes.¡±With me around, no one can hide your identity forever. No matter how high the threshold of the An family is, you should never be rejected.¡± ¡°Actually, I just need to know who I am and who my mother is. I don¡¯t want to look for those people, and I don¡¯t have to acknowledge my ancestors. After all, I¡¯ve long been used to this homeless life for the past twenty years.¡±¡±So, there¡¯s really no need to go through so much trouble¡­¡± Anhao said softly. ¡°If you know your mother¡¯s identity, then do you know why she hid you? Do you know who your biological father is? You don¡¯t want to investigate anymore? Wasn¡¯t he willing to hand over all his savings just to find out his background? Now, he was starting to be afraid and unwilling to face it again? Hmm?¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Anhao¡¯s breathing stopped. That¡¯s right. Zuo Hancheng had already found out about Anping¡¯s relationship with the An family, but it seemed that Zuo Hancheng had not found out about her biological father. To be able to find out about Anping¡¯s hidden identity and the inside story of her faking her death in the past was indeed beyond her imagination. But her biological father¡­ Also, she really did not understand why Anping had sent her to the Gu family back then and even faked her death. ¡°Perhaps the Andersons ¡®background is too complicated. My mother, she¡­¡± ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to go back and ask her yourself how she could bear to leave you behind in the Gu family eight years ago?¡± Anhao did not say anything, so Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand and pressed her head into his arms. Anhao¡¯s emotions were like a fierce gust of wind blowing in front of her chest, and she could not find the right direction for a moment. The emotions that he had tried hard to calm down were filled with countless waves. She closed her eyes and tried to calm down. Her nose was filled with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unique scent and his body temperature. Anhao leaned her head against his chest obediently and did not try to break free. Now, she no longer had the strength to break free. She was indeed too tired. Her body and mind needed a harbor that she trusted the most to let her buffer and rest. However, the words on the documents about her background kept flashing in front of her. She really could not believe that her mother had faked her death back then. Anping was actually still alive. In these eight years, she had lived in a place she did not know. Anhao leaned all her strength on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body and let him hug her. She said with a sour nose,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m hungry¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t eat anything when I went out with you at noon. I forgot about it when I came back just now. I¡¯m so hungry now¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and patted her back gently.¡±¡±Wait.¡± Chapter 657 - Chapter 657: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (1) Chapter 657: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (1) Translator: 549690339 This was the first time Anhao had eaten Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cooking after three years. After all, she was still suffering from a waist injury. Of course, he would not just cook noodles to deal with her. First, he asked her to wash her face and wait for him. Not long after, she smelled all kinds of fragrances in the kitchen that made her stomach growl. Anhao wiped the water off her face and turned to look in the direction of the kitchen. In fact, she wasn¡¯t particularly sad or upset. She was more surprised than upset. After all, she had suffered all kinds of hardships over the years, and there had never been any more pain than the ones she had experienced in the previous years. What surprised her the most and what she could not accept the most was the news that An Ping had faked her death. Faking her death and leaving her in the Gu family for so many years was something that Anhao could not understand. However, no matter how sad she was, it did not seem to hurt. There was nothing more painful than the years he had spent in the Gu family. In addition, Zuo Hancheng personally cooked for her. Anhao¡¯s mood was much better after smelling the smell. She took advantage of the time when Zuo Hancheng was helping her to cook in the kitchen to sit down at the dining table. She picked up the documents that contained information about her background again, calmed herself down, and flipped through them again. America¡­ The Andersons¡­An Ping¡­ He escaped from the United States more than 20 years ago. Because of the An family, he successfully changed his nationality and identity. He studied at XX University in City X, China. After graduation, he entered City A and worked in City F. She had been estranged from Gu Tianming and had a short marriage with the chairman of the Yi Group¡­ Such a rich past, such a colorful life, indeed, should not be stopped so casually. After Anhao read through all the contents again, she put them away. Coincidentally, Zuo Hancheng had already brought over two of her favorite dishes. Anhao obediently placed her hands on the table, her eyes no longer as red as before as she stared at the two dishes. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the folder on the table and guessed that she had read it again. Gu Anhao was used to being shocked, and it was a shock that could temper her mind. Her eyes might have turned red after reading it just now, but now she could patiently read it again and not be affected as much. Although this was the kind of growth that Zuo Hancheng was happy to see in her, it was enough for her to know about this kind of confusing story. There was no need to keep reading it. ¡°Go get your own utensils.¡± Zuo Hancheng said. ¡± Oh,¡± Anhao replied and ran into the kitchen happily, just like before. Zuo Hancheng stood at the dining table and looked at the folder on the table. After picking it up, he turned around and returned to the study room. He threw it back into the corner of the study room. When Anhao came out with the bowl and chopsticks, she saw that the folder on the table was gone, but she didn¡¯t ask. The most important thing now was to fill her stomach. Earlier, she had acted coquettishly in front of Zuo Hancheng and said that she was hungry because she had suddenly suffered a huge trauma in her heart and needed some comfort. At that time, she had been wondering if Zuo Hancheng could make some food to comfort her. She did not expect him to really understand her. Anhao said as she ate the food in front of her,¡±¡±Although my cooking skills are already very good now, it still seems to be a lot worse than yours.¡± She had to admit that if Zuo Hancheng had not let her live independently for the past three years, she would still be a cripple who could make the kitchen a mess. ¡°As expected, eating is the best medicine for you.¡± Zuo Hancheng picked up some food for her.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, and she humbly accepted his ¡± criticism ¡°. She continued to eat as a reward for the hard work of Big Boss Zuo. Zuo Hancheng did not eat anything for lunch either. After eating with her, he continued to watch her eat. Anhao ate two big bowls of rice and a lot of vegetables. In the end, she was so full that she held her stomach and exhaled. She felt that her mood had completely recovered in an instant. The feeling of fullness in her stomach and the comfort of the delicious food made her feel that the mystery of her birth was not that important. The most important thing was how to get Zuo Hancheng to cook for her again tonight. In the past, Zuo Hancheng did not cook for her often when they were in the Liu Jing Garden. After all, he was very busy. However, every time he cooked, he would spoil her taste buds so much that she would lose her taste in anything else. Now that she was staying at his place, although she had not taken the sleeping pills yet, she still wanted him to cook a few more meals to satisfy her appetite since Zuo Hancheng was rarely home on vacation. When Anhao remembered that she should wash the dishes and perform well, Zuo Hancheng would be satisfied and continue to cook for her at night, even if it was just noodles. However, when she got up and walked into the kitchen, she saw that the bowls and cutlery were all in the dishwashing machine. Anhao stopped in her tracks and turned around before Zuo Hancheng came out. She walked back to the dining table and sat down. As she caressed her bulging stomach, she smiled to show that she was very happy and did not need his comfort anymore. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± You¡¯re not pregnant yet, but you¡¯re already so gluttonous. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to support you when I¡¯m pregnant.¡±¡± Anhao almost burped and stood up immediately.¡±I¡¯m hungry because I didn¡¯t eat anything at noon. What time is it now? You asked me to stay at your house. I¡¯m a guest now. I didn¡¯t even arrange for lunch. I had to cry and ask for it myself¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng laughed. So she was crying secretly in the room because she was hungry. ¡°I won¡¯t argue with you about your waist injury now. We¡¯ll settle the score after you recover.¡±Zuo Hancheng pointed at the stairs with his chin.¡±¡± I¡¯ve been tormenting you for a long time. After all, you¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital. Go and sleep for a while. I¡¯m going to look at a few pages of the company¡¯s data that needs to be checked today.¡± ¡°Then go ahead. I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± Anhao turned around and went up the stairs, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression when he said that he would settle the score with her after she recovered was really¡­It made her want to find an excuse to go back to Hua Ting Private Park. She did not need to ask Zuo Hancheng any more questions. She was sure that he knew everything about her, including where she lived after she returned to the country. The fact that she was staying at Luxury Court Private Park was already clear to both of them. There was no need to torture and slap themselves in the face. It was too embarrassing. Anhao hurried back to her room. Although she was tired, she was not sleepy. She turned on the computer beside her bed and opened her email after a while. When she saw that Mr. V was not around, she let out a long sigh. She felt that the money she had given to the detective company was in vain. She did not know if she could get it back. Fortunately, she had only given him 80,000 yuan back then, so she still had 20,000 yuan left. Otherwise, she would have lost 100,000 yuan. Chapter 658 - Chapter 658: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (2) Chapter 658: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (2) Translator: 549690339 She turned to look at the screen and saw Mr. V¡¯s name in her email. Did Mr. V think that she wasn¡¯t smart enough to solve the number code question he gave her last time, so he didn¡¯t want to talk to her anymore? If that was really the case, then Mr. V was quite arrogant. What did that string of numbers mean? Should he ask the omnipotent Zuo Hancheng? Maybe he can have the answer However, he had just said that he was going to the study room, so Anhao gave up on disturbing him. She lay on the bed and rested for a while. Then, she raised her hand to rub her waist. It had been so long, but the smell of the red oil on her body had not dissipated. Just now, at the police station and the department store, there were people who occasionally looked at her feet. They probably thought that she had sprained her feet and applied ointment. Who would have thought that she had hurt her waist¡­ Anhao turned over with a pained expression. Hopefully, she could recover from her waist injury this week. Before she returned to the States with Zuo Hancheng, she had to at least go back to the government office to check on the situation. It had not been easy for her to get Zuo Hancheng to finalize the design drafts. She could not let Xiao Qiu and the others ruin her design just because she was not around. Zuo Hancheng had only taken a day off and had no choice but to leave Anhao at home because he had business friends from Beijing and Shanghai. Instead of leaving her here, it could also be said that Anhao refused to go out with him. Zuo Hancheng had asked Anhao if she wanted to go to his company. Anhao was lying on the sofa lazily. After all, she had just enjoyed Boss Zuo¡¯s morning massage and applied medicine. She was so comfortable that she wanted to sleep, so she waved her hand and said that she wanted to sleep at home. Zuo Hancheng did not force her to go to the company. Just as Anhao was about to fall asleep on the sofa, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. For the past two days, Zuo Hancheng had been satisfying her appetite and letting her sleep more. Although this life of eating and sleeping was extremely enjoyable, she would probably gain five pounds in a week. With this kind of fattening method, she would soon become as fat as the pregnant women outside. Anhao took advantage of the fact that Zuo Hancheng had gone out of the house and stretched out her hand to hold her waist as she stood up. She ran into the small gym at his house and tried out the rehabilitation equipment. Last night, Zuo Hancheng had instructed her on how to use these two rehabilitation equipment. Although he had told her to use them in front of him, these two waist-strengthening equipment were amazing. Just thinking about it, she knew how embarrassing it was to move up and down. She would not give Zuo Hancheng the chance to see her exercise on them. After lying down and trying for a while, Anhao found the trick and slowly practiced for a while. Today, she didn¡¯t dare to practice for as long as yesterday. After exercising for only ten minutes, she slowly stood up. Standing by the window, she saw that the weather outside was good. It was officially summer. The green environment in Henghai City, which was as high-end as the private garden of Hua Ting, was especially good. Besides, there was some simple fixed exercise equipment at the back of the neighborhood. Anhao decided to go out and enjoy the rare leisurely life of an old lady while basking in the sun downstairs. The only things she needed to recuperate from now were to take a walk and walk her bird. Otherwise, she would be no different from an old lady. Just as Anhao was about to take off her sportswear and put it on the bench, she heard a conversation behind her. ¡°Zeyang, grandfather has been wanting to see you for the past few days. It has been quite a while since you last went to see him¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s figure paused. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and saw Qi Weiran following behind Yi Zeyang. She reached out to pull Yi Zeyang¡¯s sleeve, but Yi Zeyang was walking in front. Clearly, he did not take Qi Weiran¡¯s words to heart. Seeing this scene, Anhao hesitated for a moment and didn¡¯t walk over. She quietly turned around and walked to the side, hanging up her sportswear jacket. Yi Zeyang had already walked far away. Qi Weiran did not chase after him. She stood where she was with a pained look in her eyes. She held her bag tightly and suddenly took out her phone to call someone. Not long after, the call was picked up. Qi Weiran said into the phone,¡±Mom, it¡¯s all your fault. You shouldn¡¯t have let this kind of conflict between Grandfather and Zeyang happen. Besides, I¡¯m very confused about Xiaoqing revealing her mouth in front of Zeyang.¡± ¡°I deliberately told him about how Grandpa made me stay in the ICU and exaggerated my condition. Zeyang is still competing with Grandpa and doesn¡¯t listen to my advice at all. I¡¯m really afraid that the Yi family will never have any contact with the Qi family in the future.¡± ¡°Things haven¡¯t been like before between us for the past two years. It seems like he only married me because he felt that he owed me, but I love him so much. I don¡¯t want to live under his cold attitude for the rest of my life, and I don¡¯t want to live under Gu Anhao¡¯s shadow! Mom, help me think of a way!¡± She did not know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Qi Weiran¡¯s eyes immediately turned red.¡±I know. I know that I can use the child to tie him down, but ever since that car accident, he hasn¡¯t touched me¡­In the past, in the past, I used your method to get him to be with me. I was pregnant too, but the child was gone in the car accident. After that, he didn¡¯t even touch me¡­I didn¡¯t dare to tell my family¡­¡± Anhao was slightly shocked when she heard that. Back then, in the car accident, Qi Weiran really had Yi Zeyang¡¯s child? Zheng Yun was shocked. At this moment, a property manager came over and said,¡±Miss, you can¡¯t hang your clothes here.¡± Anhao was stunned and quickly took down the clothes that were hanging at the side. Qi Weiran seemed to have heard the voice over here as well. She glanced over while talking on the phone. Before Anhao could leave, their gazes met. Qi Weiran¡¯s expression was grave. She hurriedly said a few more words to the person on the other end of the phone and hung up. Anhao did not want to have a conflict with her. Since Qi Weiran had been hurt before, no matter what happened to the Qi family, Anhao did not want to have a conflict with Yi Zeyang¡¯s woman. It would not be good for Yi Zeyang and Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Gu Anhao.¡± Qi Weiran suddenly called out to her. Anhao was about to turn around when she stopped. Her expression did not change and she turned to look at Qi Weiran who was already walking over. After looking at her for a while, she calmly asked,¡±Is your body alright?¡± Although she knew that Qi Weiran¡¯s injury was deliberately exaggerated by the Qi family, there was indeed blood at that time and it was indeed a serious collision. As the person involved, Anhao could not possibly go against her. Qi Weiran looked at her coldly and asked,¡±¡±Why are you here?¡± Anhao smiled faintly.¡± I have a friend who lives here, so I came over to take a look.¡±¡± Chapter 659 - Chapter 659: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (3) Chapter 659: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (3) Translator: 549690339 Qi Weiran obviously did not believe it, but she did not ask further. After all, she did not care who lived here. The only thing she was concerned about was why Gu Anhao was here. The only thing she was concerned about was whether Yi Zeyang had discovered Gu Anhao¡¯s presence. She was even more concerned about whether Gu Anhao would deliberately appear in front of Yi Zeyang again and ruin their already unstable marriage. ¡°Also, it¡¯s impossible for you not to know that I¡¯ve already returned to the country.¡±¡±It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡±¡± Qi Weiran¡¯s expression was not as calm and magnanimous as Anhao¡¯s. She only glanced at her coldly.¡±You¡¯ve already divorced Zuo Hancheng. Since you left the country, why did you come back? Was there another new target besides Zuo Hancheng? I advise you not to target my husband. Zeyang and I have been married for so many years. There is no room for you to interfere.¡± Anhao smiled faintly.¡± Miss Qi, you seem to be thinking too much. The stability of your marriage depends on yourself. You¡¯re not afraid that I¡¯ll be a third party. Besides, I didn¡¯t plan to do that in the first place. You don¡¯t have to be so careful.¡±¡± ¡°Then why are you here?¡±¡±Haven¡¯t you harmed me enough?¡± Qi Weiran looked at her coldly. Do you know that when you hit me with your car, my child was gone? My child with Zeyang is gone!¡± Looking at the hatred and hatred in Qi Weiran¡¯s eyes, Anhao smiled faintly. ¡°What a coincidence. Zuo Hancheng and I were in the same car accident that was arranged by your grandfather and the Gu family. Although we didn¡¯t die as you wished, my child was gone too.¡± Qi Weiran was stunned. Back then, when Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng were seriously injured and hospitalized, everything that happened in the hospital was kept a secret. No one knew how badly they were injured, nor did they know what was going on inside. They only knew that they had walked out of the hospital alive. However, no one knew that Gu Anhao was pregnant back then. She had thought that she could use this excuse to teach Gu Anhao a good lesson and make Gu Anhao feel uneasy, but she did not expect things to turn out this way. When she saw the calm and composed smile in Gu Anhao¡¯s eyes, Qi Weiran¡¯s eyelids twitched. She had a bad premonition and felt that Gu Anhao¡¯s existence was not a good thing. She took a few steps back and said,¡±¡±It seems that you are indeed more pitiful than me. At the very least, you will never be able to get close to someone like Zuo Hancheng in this lifetime.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all thanks to your grandfather¡¯s suggestion back then. He suggested that I get a divorce and go abroad to stay away from A City.¡±Anhao was still smiling calmly. Qi Weiran¡¯s expression froze. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to look in the direction where Yi Zeyang had disappeared. After making sure that Yi Zeyang would not hear her, she stood there and thought for a while before turning to look at Anhao.¡±That¡¯s just an agreement between you and my grandfather. It has nothing to do with me. After all, my child died in your hands back then. As the party who owes you the most, shouldn¡¯t your apology be more sincere?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know I was apologizing to you?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. When did I have to apologize?¡± Qi Weiran glared at her with an ugly expression.¡± Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really inhumane¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound so harsh. Even if I had a car accident back then, I¡¯ve already paid the price that I should pay. Moreover, what your grandfather did after that was even more outrageous, so I don¡¯t apologize to you at all. In fact, we¡¯re not even even. On the contrary, the Qi family owes me more.¡±Anhao continued to laugh. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s more important to go back and coax your husband now than to be angry with me here?¡± It was obvious that Gu Anhao looked much more mature than she did three years ago. Gu Anhao¡¯s brain was already fast and difficult to deal with, and now it was even more so. Qi Weiran looked at her coldly for a while before rolling her eyes and walking away. Anhao stood there and looked in Qi Weiran¡¯s direction until Qi Weiran was far away. Then, she turned around and walked to the fitness equipment in the neighborhood as if nothing had happened. She stepped on a manual waist twisting plate and slowly turned her waist. She stopped when she felt pain and continued to exercise when she felt better. She couldn¡¯t let herself be too free. Once she was free, she would think about her background. He went back for lunch and rest. After waking up, he went downstairs to exercise in the afternoon. At the same time, she chatted with a few uncles and aunties in the fitness equipment area and made them happy. They even invited her to their house for dinner and introduced their grandchildren to her. They even said that their grandchildren were famous in the city and happened to be lacking a wife. They wanted to introduce them to each other¡­ To be able to hit the jackpot just by forging, Anhao felt that she was the luckiest. Originally, she had only returned to her silly nature and told a few jokes to those uncles and aunties. She did not look like a good girl who was liked by the elderly. Why did these elderly people have such strange tastes and even wanted to introduce their grandchildren to her? After Anhao declined politely, she was held by the uncles and aunties as they sat there and chatted for a long time. Even when it was dark, they still didn¡¯t go back. Zuo Hancheng had not called her either, and she reckoned that he had not returned from the office yet. Anhao chatted with the aunties for a long time. In the end, her mouth was so dry that she couldn¡¯t say anything. She sat at the side and watched the uncles and aunties play chess. They were even teaching her from the side. Anhao watched with great interest. In the end, the families of the elderly people came to call them back. They kept nagging at them, saying that these elderly people were like children. If they didn¡¯t come out and call them, they wouldn¡¯t go back for dinner. They kept scolding them. Anhao watched from behind with envy. This kind of warm family life where several generations lived under the same roof was what she lacked the most. She did not have parents or grandparents. Even if she did, perhaps they would not even know of her existence. After everyone left, she turned around and walked back. Suddenly, she saw a car driving past the only motorway in the neighborhood. She was about to step back and give way when the car suddenly braked in front of her, as if there was an emergency. Anhao froze for a moment and looked up at the person in the car. The car door suddenly opened and Yi Zeyang, who had gone out again, slammed the door and got out of the car. He walked towards her. Anhao noticed that although Yi Zeyang¡¯s clothes were neat and tidy, there were two lipstick stains of different colors on the collar of his shirt. The moment he approached, the obvious smell of alcohol on his body made Anhao suddenly feel that the man in front of her, whom she had not seen for a long time, looked a little unfamiliar. Was he still the same Yi Zeyang who protected her and doted on her when she was young, the one who would always rub her hair and smile warmly and brightly? Yi Zeyang did not say anything after he walked up to her. Instead, he sized her up a few times, as if he was trying to confirm if she was the real Gu Anhao. Chapter 660 - Chapter 660: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (4) Chapter 660: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Anhao?¡± Yi Zeyang seemed to finally see her clearly, but he immediately frowned,¡±¡±Why are you here?¡± Different people asking the same question had different effects. Although Anhao did not quite understand the smell of alcohol on Yi Zeyang and the lipstick marks on his collar, she still smiled and said,¡±¡±I was just walking around. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Yi Zeyang looked at her for a while and seemed to have understood something. However, he only silently turned to look at his car and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s a bit of a hindrance to park the car here. I¡¯ll come over after I park the car in the underground garage.¡± ¡°You drank and drove back by yourself?¡±Anhao asked. Yi Zeyang only paused for a moment before he smiled. He did not seem to mind and got into the car. Anhao didn¡¯t have a driver¡¯s license and still couldn¡¯t drive, so she couldn¡¯t help her. She could only stand at the side and watch him drive the car to the garage. Although Yi Zeyang reeked of alcohol, he was driving steadily. Anhao stood in place and thought for a moment. She felt that it was not right for her to wait or not wait. After all, she had already been seen. It was not appropriate to run away now. Besides, Anhao could guess where Yi Zeyang had gone just now. What she did not understand was that he and Qi Weiran had clearly developed some feelings for each other back then and they were already married. Why did their married life become like this now? She had heard part of what Qi Weiran had said on the phone this afternoon. She thought that Yi Zeyang was only so cold because he had a problem with the Qi family. She did not expect that the once cleanest Yi Zeyang, who would never take the initiative to get close to women, would become like this. Anhao was standing in the same spot for a while, lost in her thoughts. From the corner of her eyes, she seemed to have seen Yi Zeyang¡¯s figure. She turned her eyes abruptly and saw that he had already used his fastest speed to walk over from the other door of the garage. Anhao calmed herself down and smiled at him. When Yi Zeyang approached her, she glanced at the lipstick stain on her collar.¡±¡±You went out drinking?¡± Yi Zeyang did not seem to have any intention of hiding it from her. Although he was slightly tipsy, he looked very sober. Although his eyes were a little red red because of the alcohol, he was not really drunk. ¡°I had a social engagement, so I went out for a few drinks.¡± ¡°Drinking with a woman?¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± Yi Zeyang raised his eyebrows and smiled again.¡± ¡°You weren¡¯t like this before.¡± Anhao stared at his face.¡± Yi Zeyang raised his eyebrows again,¡±¡±What was I like in the past? I don¡¯t even remember it myself, but do you remember it?¡± Since he had already said this, Anhao couldn¡¯t say anything more. After all, she was not Qi Weiran. No one was suitable to be by Yi Zeyang¡¯s side and care about his identity and position. Besides, the Yi family was also involved in those things back then. Zuo Hancheng had already started to target the Yi Group. What could she say at this time? Hence, she paused for a moment and said,¡±¡±Anyway, you and Miss Qi have been married for so long. The Qi family hasn¡¯t fallen, and the Yi family is still around. Since you chose to live alone, you must still want your life to continue peacefully.¡± Yi Zeyang suddenly smiled.¡± Little Anhao has grown up. She¡¯s more sensible than she was three years ago. She even knows how to persuade me to live a good life.¡±¡± The only person in the world who could say that she was sensible was probably Yi Zeyang. Anhao looked at him.¡± I don¡¯t mean anything else. I just don¡¯t want you to live like this in the future. I¡¯m your younger sister who has been by your side and watched you grow up.¡±¡± After a moment of silence, Yi Zeyang asked her,¡±¡±Why did you agree when Old General Qi forced you to leave City A because of me?¡± ¡°I did it for Zuo Hancheng, so you don¡¯t have to feel guilty about this.¡±This was the first time Anhao had spoken so frankly about what had happened in the past. She definitely could not bring herself to say this in front of Zuo Hancheng. However, she had to tell the truth when she was faced with the knot in Yi Zeyang¡¯s heart. She also had to distance herself from it. ¡°They threatened you with the matter of me and the matter of me and the matter of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s involvement in the mafia, and you left? Have you ever thought about how the people we left behind will live after you leave?¡±Yi Zeyang looked at her coldly.¡±¡±When I found out what the Qi family was up to, I wanted to warn you, but it was too late. When I found out that you and Zuo Hancheng were seriously injured in the car accident, but I was helpless, I realized how useless I was.¡± Yi Zeyang sighed and laughed. Anhao lowered her eyes.¡± I know that you were controlled by the Qi and Gu families at that time. Your father and Uncle Yi also had a problem with my mother and me. They also interfered in the past. Qi Weiran was your fianc¨¦e, so you couldn¡¯t get rid of these moral restraints. Moreover, the source of the mistake wasn¡¯t you. I did hit your fianc¨¦e with my car. These things are all in the past. I¡¯ve already let go of these knots in my heart, so why can¡¯t you let go?¡± Yi Zeyang sighed.¡± Ever since you and Aunt An were kicked out of the Yi family, I¡¯ve never let go of the knot in my heart.¡± Anhao, do you know what I did in America for so many years?¡± ¡°What?¡± Anhao was puzzled. After he came back, she really didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with him anymore, so she didn¡¯t have a deep conversation with him. She had always avoided him, so she really didn¡¯t ask. ¡°I¡¯ve long suspected that there was something wrong with your mother¡¯s identity. I asked a friend in the United States to investigate. Although the results of the investigation weren¡¯t much, I was sure that she was related to the Andersons After so long, perhaps you already know this, but once, you were everywhere in my heart and eyes. When I was studying in the United States, I also wanted to find out about your strange background, but man¡¯s plans are not as good as God¡¯s plans ¡± He laughed self-mockingly,¡±I¡¯m still late.¡±¡± Anhao only looked at him and didn¡¯t say anything. The calmness in her eyes made Yi Zeyang certain that she already knew about this. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Listen to me. The Qi family hasn¡¯t completely collapsed. They still have the ability to threaten you. Stay away from the Qi and Gu families and don¡¯t have any contact with them anymore. As for me, I¡¯m no longer the same person as before. I¡¯ll think about how I should continue down this path.¡± As he said that, he turned around as if he didn¡¯t want to leave. Anhao stood where she was and looked at him. She couldn¡¯t imagine what kind of mood he was in when he said these words. However, Yi Zeyang, who had already turned around, suddenly turned around and pulled her into his arms. Anhao was caught off guard by his embrace, and the strong smell of alcohol instantly filled her nose. Suddenly, a blinding car light flashed across the lane beside her. Anhao turned to look in the direction of the car light. It was the black SUV that she was extremely familiar with. It was Zuo Hancheng! Chapter 661 - Chapter 661: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (5) Chapter 661: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (5) Translator: 549690339 She was shocked and quickly raised her hand to push Yi Zeyang away. Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t force himself to hug her. When Anhao pushed him away, he took a step back and sighed,¡±¡±When I went abroad that year, you were too young and I didn¡¯t have the time to hug you properly. Three years ago, when you went abroad, my ability was too small and I didn¡¯t have the time to hug you properly.¡± At this point, Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze fell on Anhao¡¯s slightly stiff face,¡±¡±I can finally hug you now, but you¡¯re no longer the little Anhao who stood at the same place waiting for me to come back.¡± Anhao was initially shocked by the headlights of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car, but she was stunned by Yi Zeyang¡¯s words. She looked at Yi Zeyang, but Yi Zeyang looked back at her.¡±¡±Anhao, you don¡¯t want to hear the answer I owe you back then anymore, right?¡± Anhao looked at him and didn¡¯t speak. Yi Zeyang laughed.¡± Now, it seems like it¡¯s indeed a dispensable answer. After all, I¡¯m Qi Weiran¡¯s husband now. Regardless of whether our relationship is what people think it is, in the end, with this responsibility on me, I will never be able to freely say that I love you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore ¡± Anhao suddenly interrupted him,¡±¡±You drank too much.¡± Knowing what she meant, Yi Zeyang did not continue. He smiled and did not want to pester her anymore. He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng standing not far away in the colorful night. Yi Zeyang¡¯s gaze froze as he looked at the man who was as cold as ice from head to toe. He seemed to have thought of something and turned back to look at Anhao who was standing still and did not immediately rush forward to explain herself. ¡°Do you need me to explain?¡± ¡°He should have seen it,¡± Yi Zeyang asked.¡± Anhao curled her lips.¡± There¡¯s no need. I can explain myself. Besides, there¡¯s nothing between us ¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. Yi Zeyang looked back at Zuo Hancheng at the same time. When he met his cold gaze, it was as calm as if the two of them were not enemies in the dark, but strangers. Even though Zuo Hancheng had already walked closer, even though he had just brushed past Yi Zeyang, his usual cold gaze did not linger on Yi Zeyang for even a moment. He only walked past Yi Zeyang and went straight to Anhao. Anhao saw the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and asked calmly,¡±¡±You have a social gathering tonight? You¡¯re back so late.¡± It was just an ordinary sentence, but it was just to express her calmness and lack of guilt. After all, nothing had happened between her and Yi Zeyang. Even if Zuo Hancheng had seen it, she had nothing to feel guilty about. However, this sentence made Yi Zeyang, who had his back to them, stiffen. He suddenly turned to look at her.¡±You guys live here?¡± ¡°Unfortunately, my current residence is indeed in Eternal Sea City.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang out. His cold gaze was still fixed on Anhao, but his voice was directed at Yi Zeyang, who was behind him. Yi Zeyang looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold back and then looked at Anhao. Anhao did not say anything, and it seemed that it was inconvenient for her to say anything, so she would rather remain silent. Yi Zeyang looked at it for a while before he suddenly sighed and laughed,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t expect that I would accidentally become President Zuo¡¯s neighbor.¡± ¡°I dare not.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold and devoid of warmth. An Hao felt a layer of frost on her body. She frowned. She knew that Zuo Hancheng had no intention of letting the Yi Group off, but she felt that it was a mistake for her to be there when she saw the atmosphere between Yi Zeyang and Zuo Hancheng. Yi Zeyang did not have any intention of trying to get close to Zuo Hancheng. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold reply was ¡± I don¡¯t deserve it ¡°, so he did not say anything more. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he turned around and faced his back to them. His voice was no longer as polite as before.¡± Since you two are already divorced, I don¡¯t think I need to explain anything for my actions just now. I smell too much of alcohol and I¡¯m not suitable to show my timidity in front of President Zuo. I¡¯ll leave first.¡±¡± With that, Yi Zeyang turned his back to them and was about to leave. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was still fixed on Anhao¡¯s face, and his voice was clear but sharp like a blade of frost.¡±¡±Who told you that we got a divorce?¡± This sentence made Yi Zeyang stop in his tracks and Anhao looked up in shock at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. She opened her mouth and looked at him in disbelief. Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at Yi Zeyang.¡±¡±We will never get a divorce. Young Master Yi, don¡¯t listen to those rumors. Zuo and Anhao¡¯s marriage has been legal for many years. Divorce is just an empty statement. In law, the word divorce has never really taken effect between us.¡± Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t turn around and had his back to them. Anhao turned around and saw Yi Zeyang¡¯s hands clenched into fists. However, Yi Zeyang finally loosened his fists and walked away without looking back. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words mocked Yi Zeyang¡¯s overconfidence and overconfidence. He also ridiculed Yi Zeyang for not being well-informed in the government. A simple sentence was like a multi-edged arrow that pierced Yi Zeyang¡¯s skin. At the same time, it also made Anhao feel like she was going to be badly injured She stood rooted to the ground until Zuo Hancheng coldly watched Yi Zeyang¡¯s figure disappear into the distance. Only then did she slowly turn around and look at the little woman who was standing behind him with a face full of shock and disbelief. ¡°The air is cold at night. Can your waist withstand it? Come home with me.¡± Zuo Hancheng then turned around and walked toward the SUV that he had parked on the only motorway in front of him. Anhao had thought that Zuo Hancheng would not misunderstand anything. After all, he was not the kind of man who would misunderstand and get angry because of a certain scene without asking what happened before. However, his current attitude was so indifferent that she did not know how to explain it. Furthermore, the meaning hidden in the words he said to Yi Zeyang was too deep and the amount of information was too much She had to digest it properly He walked to Zuo Cheng¡¯s side and looked back at her.¡±¡±Get in the car.¡± Anhao looked at him again.¡± Yi Zeyang and I were not what you think we were.¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already opened the door of the passenger seat. It was obvious that he had no intention of listening to her explanation. Anhao had no choice but to get into the car first. When she looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng walking past the car, his words suddenly rang in her ears. The marriage between Zuo Mo and Anhao had been legal for many years, and divorce was just a non-existent statement. In the law, the word divorce had never really taken effect between us Chapter 662 - Chapter 662: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (6) Chapter 662: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (6) Translator: 549690339 After getting in the car, Zuo Hancheng quickly drove the car into the underground parking lot in front of them. The two of them took the elevator in the parking lot and went upstairs. When they reached the twenty-fifth floor, Anhao glanced to the side and saw that Yi Zeyang and Qi Weiran¡¯s house did not seem to have any lights on. Qi Weiran was not there? Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t come back just now? This kind of marriage that existed in name only Thinking of the lipstick stain on Yi Zeyang¡¯s collar, Anhao sighed in her heart. Just as she was sighing about Yi Zeyang, Zuo Hancheng suddenly looked back at her. She froze and suddenly looked up at him. Only then did she remember to explain,¡±Nothing happened between us just now.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze swept across her face and the door opened at the same time. Seeing him walk in just like that, Anhao started to mutter in her heart. That shouldn¡¯t be the case. How could Zuo Hancheng misunderstand? She followed him into the room and realized that he didn¡¯t turn on the lights. She raised her hand to touch the wall beside her, wanting to turn on the lights. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng, who had entered the room before her, reached out his long arm and hugged her. Anhao was changing into her shoes and staggered, falling to the ground. Zuo Hancheng took the opportunity to grab her waist. Anhao hurriedly raised her hand to hug his shoulder to stabilize her body so that she would not fall. However, in the darkness, the lights in the corridor outside the door shone. She saw the clear light in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and thought that the door was not closed yet. If someone walked out of the elevator outside, they would see the intimacy between them at a glance. Anhao quickly raised her hand to grab the white cabinet by the door to support her body. Zuo Hancheng saw through her intentions and pushed her against the white cabinet. At the same time, he raised his hand and closed the door. The room instantly turned dark. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng in shock. She could feel his breath coming closer, the heat of his body when he restrained her body, the suppressed anger and the dangerous aura around him. Anhao pushed his shoulder.¡± What did you say about the divorce? What¡¯s invalid?¡±¡± Her voice was a little low because of his suppression. She felt that his breath was already lingering around her mouth, and it was difficult for her to utter a word. She felt that if she made any bigger movements, she would completely stimulate him, who was on the verge of anger. Even though she knew that he definitely did not misunderstand because of what happened just now, Anhao could not figure out what Zuo Hancheng was angry about. Her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and she could see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s outline clearly. He lowered his head and approached her. Anhao shrunk her neck slightly and struggled to say,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, you didn¡¯t tell me clearly. Why is the divorce agreement invalid? Didn¡¯t you sign it back then? Moreover, you have the stamp of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It can¡¯t be invalid.¡± However, as soon as Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her lips. However, it was not deep. He only pressed her body firmly against her lips, making her deeply feel his anger. This man was so torturous when he was angry! Anhao was so angry that she hit his shoulder twice.¡±¡±Oh . Left Cold . Mm . You ¡± He suddenly bit her lips hard. Anhao groaned in pain and widened her eyes in the dark. It was only when he let go of her lips that she gasped and scolded,¡± I¡¯ve already said that nothing happened between me and Yi Zeyang. You shouldn¡¯t have misunderstood me. Besides, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re hiding something from me. You haven¡¯t told me about the divorce agreement yet. Let go of me first ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you remember what I said back then?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse as he leaned close to her ear. His lips and tongue kissed her ear, and Anhao¡¯s body trembled uncontrollably. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words echoed in her heart for a long time. She remembered that he had once said that they would never get a divorce. He would never let her have nothing. She didn¡¯t know if that was what he meant, but Anhao was puzzled.¡± But I had already prepared the divorce agreement back then, and you had also signed it. I also said that it had the stamp of the Civil Affairs Bureau. This was clearly the simplest and most official form. With the agreement, signature, and stamp, it means that the divorce has already taken effect .¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain, but his lips curled up in the darkness. Although Anhao could not see his face clearly, she could feel his smile because he was leaning against her cheek. She immediately understood that he must have tampered with the divorce agreement. She immediately raised her hand to shake his hand off, feeling that she had been played by him for so many years. Three years ago, when she left him heartbroken, she thought that he had really agreed to the divorce. He didn¡¯t even send her to the airport. He didn¡¯t even appear in front of her for so many years. He even sent her the divorce agreement back then. In the end, everything that made her think that the two of them were completely separated from each other became a self-righteous joke. He had fooled her for three years! Anhao angrily pushed him and scolded,¡±¡±Bastard, let go of me. Zuo Hancheng, tell me what happened. What did you do? You let go Let go .¡± The more Anhao struggled, the tighter Zuo Hancheng held her and the tighter he hugged her. Anhao could not struggle at all until his lips planted a kiss on her ear. The kiss slowly moved to her cheek and finally landed on the corner of her lips. She was so angry that she turned around and wanted to bite him. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and said slowly,¡± Just as you think we¡¯re divorced.¡± Hearing the most accurate answer, Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she didn¡¯t know whether she should be happy or angry, or at a loss. She instinctively used her hands to resist his intimacy. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to understand her temper too well. He had been restraining her and did not let her escape. When Anhao was extremely angry, he said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±Gu Anhao, for the past three years, you¡¯ve been using the title of Mrs. Zuo to swindle and seduce male classmates in the United States.¡± Anhao instantly glared at him in the darkness. When did I hook up with a male classmate?!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t there many people chasing you?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile deepened, but it was obvious that he was setting a trap for her. ¡°It¡¯s their wish that I¡¯m being pursued. What does it have to do with me? How did I become a male classmate? Besides, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s lying! I still haven¡¯t figured out the divorce agreement. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re so despicable that it makes my hair stand on end ¡° Chapter 663 - Chapter 663: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (7) Chapter 663: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (7) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Is that so?¡± Instead, he planted a heavy kiss on her ear. This was his response to her calling him despicable. Anhao trembled and wanted to turn her head away from the pain. However, Zuo Hancheng pressed his forehead against hers the moment she turned her head away. His hand was on her waist, not giving her a chance to move. In the darkness, his deep black eyes locked onto hers.¡±Don¡¯t let me see you and Yi Zeyang getting too close again. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll pull the net back early and let the Yi family die in his hands.¡± Anhao took in a cold breath.¡± You know very well that nothing happened between me and him just now!¡±¡± ¡°What else do you want to happen?¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly lifted her chin. The corner of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She raised her hand to avoid his hand, but Zuo Hancheng was still pressing his forehead against hers. His eyes were dark, and his hand slowly moved around her waist. His intentions were obvious. Anhao instantly felt her chest loosen up a lot, and her safety was greatly reduced in an instant! He was no longer the Zuo Hancheng who would let her go and take a cold shower whenever she wasn¡¯t ready. Letting her stay with him was obviously because he was prepared and had no intention of letting her go! She was no longer the high school student who always had all kinds of strange reasons to escape. How could he let her go so easily? It was a rare night. A breeze blew in from the window and lifted the curtains in front of the French windows. Anhao¡¯s heart was also being teased by him until she lost the strength to resist. His gentleness, which was obviously restrained, slowly soothed Anhao¡¯s thoughts that had yet to be sorted out. She turned her face and unconsciously brushed her nose against his neck. She smelled the familiar scent on his body that she had dreamed of for the past three years in the United States. It was a unique fragrance that only belonged to Zuo Hancheng that made her feel at ease and rely on him. It was as if the conflicting emotions in his heart had completely stopped at this moment. Anhao took the initiative and suddenly kissed his chin. Sensing that she was taking the initiative, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s breathing, which was slightly steadier than hers, gradually became heavier. The two of them were locked in a deep kiss when a voice suddenly came from outside the door. It was the sound of the elevator door opening. Anhao suddenly remembered that Yi Zeyang lived on this floor as well. She stopped her actions with a stifled expression on her face. Zuo Hancheng was angry at her distraction and his hand tightened around her waist. Although he carefully avoided the area where her waist hurt the most due to her waist injury, Anhao still groaned in pain. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand quickly left her waist. Seeing that Anhao¡¯s face was pale from the pain, it did not seem like she did it on purpose. In the next moment, there was a light smack beside her ear, and the lights suddenly lit up at the same time. Anhao had just gotten used to the darkness, but now she was not used to the lights. She narrowed her eyes and put her hands on her waist as she leaned against the cabinet with a painful expression. Her face was full of resentment. Zuo Hancheng did not remember that the wound on her waist was where he had just touched, but it was true that she was in so much pain that her face had turned pale. He held her up and said,¡±¡±What happened?¡± ¡ª¡ª [I recommend Peach¡¯s new article, Honey Loves the Fresh Wife: Chief Prince Charming, Spoiling the Heavens [Description: A night of soul-stirring entanglement, she provoked the mysterious big shot Hostin, who all the women in the world want to sleep with!] He had power in the business world and could cover the sky with one hand! She had been cheated on by her fianc¨¦, and her reputation had been ruined by the false accusation. She had become the laughing stock of everyone. Who knew that she would turn around and marry into the Huo family? The powerful President Huo doted on her so much! She abused scumbags, tore apart scumbags, and had her husband to support her everywhere. She was just short of walking around the world!] Chapter 664 - Chapter 664: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (8) Chapter 664: Boss Zuo Is Jealous (8) Translator: 549690339 ¡°When I was downstairs with those uncles and aunties just now, I was exercising and sitting at the side to watch them play chess. My waist was already uncomfortable before. Maybe it¡¯s because I sat for too long. Will my waist be crippled just like that? I just sat downstairs for a little too long. I didn¡¯t exercise too much. Why does it hurt so much ¡± ¡°The doctor told you not to stand for too long before you were discharged. Don¡¯t you remember?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was locked on her face. Seeing that she was indeed in pain, he held her waist and pulled her clothes back up. Anhao rubbed her waist and said with a pained expression,¡±¡±I feel like my waist is even worse than an old man¡¯s. Aiyo, don¡¯t touch that. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not give her a chance to dodge. He suddenly picked her up. Anhao exclaimed and looked at him in disbelief,¡±¡±You ¡± She had wanted to ask him if he would be so perverted as to carry her into the bedroom and force himself on her when her back was hurting so badly. However, as soon as she said that, Zuo Hancheng carried her out of the house after she had put on her clothes again. There was no one else in the corridor. Anhao glanced at the door next to her and Zuo Hancheng suddenly said coldly,¡±¡±Take care of yourself and don¡¯t be a busybody.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not meddling in other people¡¯s business. I¡¯m just looking ¡± ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her immediately. Didn¡¯t you hug enough just now?¡± Anhao suddenly burst out laughing. She wrapped one arm around his neck to prevent him from throwing her to the ground suddenly because he was holding a grudge, and poked his chest with the other hand.¡±I haven¡¯t figured out the truth yet. Why are you jealous of me? I haven¡¯t even settled the score with you yet.¡± Furthermore, Zuo Hancheng had just been inside and was obviously going to execute her on the spot. In the end, her waist was hurting and she was really in a good mood. Just as the elevator reached the 25th floor, Zuo Hancheng carried her in and she asked,¡±Where are you taking me?¡± ¡°The hospital.¡± The mischievous smile on Anhao¡¯s face disappeared instantly and she looked at him fiercely.¡±¡±Why are you taking me to the hospital again?¡± ¡°The frequency of your waist pain is abnormal. Let the doctor take a look and take another X-ray.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ve already said that it¡¯s because I¡¯ve been sitting for the entire afternoon.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you in so much pain that tears are about to fall?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her. Anhao was a little embarrassed. She never cried in front of him. Every time she accidentally cried, it was definitely painful to the extreme. This kind of crying was definitely a physiological reaction. Just now, she was in so much pain that her face turned pale, but she did not notice that her eyes were red. The elevator reached the underground parking lot and Zuo Hancheng walked out with her in his arms. At this time, there were many high-ranking people in the parking lot who were returning home from work. They happened to see Zuo Hancheng walking out with Anhao in his arms. Some of them had high standards and recognized Zuo Hancheng¡¯s true face. When they saw him, they were about to go up and greet him, but Zuo Hancheng walked out with Anhao in his arms. Those people turned their heads around and looked at the woman in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms with her head buried in his shoulder. When Anhao came out of the elevator and saw so many people in the parking lot, she subconsciously hid her face. Although if they were really not divorced, everything would be fair and square, she was already used to the mentality of being divorced for the past three years. For a moment, she felt like she was having an affair. After she was sent to the hospital, an orthopedist from the province came to see her personally. He was a man in his fifties. From the conversation between him and Zuo Hancheng, it seemed that he was an old friend of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s father in America, so he was very concerned about Anhao¡¯s waist injury. He immediately asked someone to push Anhao into his consultation room and examined her waist for a while. After that, he asked Zuo Hancheng to take her for an X-ray to confirm that Anhao had a soft tissue injury in her waist, and it was acute. Of course, the cause of the disaster was caused by her fall after jumping off the building. ¡°It will take some time for Miss Gu¡¯s waist injury to recover. If she takes good care of herself, she will be fine in a week. However, if she doesn¡¯t take good care of herself, it may take a few months for her to fully recover.¡± The orthopedic doctor explained the detailed diagnosis to Zuo Hancheng while he called a few professional nurses over to give Anhao a massage and acupuncture treatment on her waist. In short, the doctor¡¯s massage and acupuncture methods were so painful that it almost took Anhao¡¯s life. Zuo Hancheng could hear her kicking the wall and bed in pain from two doors away, but Anhao gritted her teeth and did not make a sound. Forty minutes later, Anhao¡¯s nurses who were giving her massages and acupuncture finally left. Anhao laid on the bed, exhausted. When she heard the footsteps from the next room, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his hand angrily. She pinched and grabbed his hand as if she was venting her anger. However, Zuo Hancheng looked at her actions indifferently. When he saw that she seemed to have put all her strength into her hands as if she was taking revenge on him, he raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±You still have the strength to do this?¡± Anhao wanted to cry but had no tears. She squeezed his hand tightly, and it hurt so much that she started to be unreasonable.¡±Why didn¡¯t you show up earlier that day? Why didn¡¯t you save me earlier? You caused me to jump off the building in the end. Now, I¡¯ve suffered such a huge crime. Aren¡¯t you amazing? You should have let the plane fly a little faster and then descended from the sky to save me like a god. Perhaps I would have been so touched that I would have cried and offered myself ¡± Faced with her unreasonable words that were in pain from the torture she had just suffered, Zuo Hancheng calmly raised his hand and pulled her hand up. At the same time, he slowly pushed it away. Anhao laid on the bed and turned around to glare at him with an aggrieved look.¡±You¡¯re so resourceful, but you didn¡¯t know how dangerous I was at that time. If you had appeared five minutes earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have jumped off the building ¡± As she spoke, her face turned pale as she placed her hands behind her back and placed them on her waist.¡±It hurts so much Were those nurses really the most professional? He¡¯s too ruthless ¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao, who was lying on the bed and struggling to move, with a faint smile.¡±¡±No matter how resourceful I am, I would never have thought that you, Gu Anhao, would be so stupid as to help your friend go on a blind date. I would never have thought that you would actually provoke a scumbag like Mo Yunfei. I would never have thought that your clever brain would one day be tricked into drugging a car.¡± Anhao could clearly hear the sarcasm in his words and immediately retorted anxiously,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t hit him at that time. I was pushed into the car by him, okay?! I wasn¡¯t cheated!¡± Chapter 665 - Chapter 665: Quickly Control Your Mr Zuo (1) Chapter 665: Quickly Control Your Mr Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao could clearly hear the sarcasm in his words. She immediately retorted anxiously,¡±I didn¡¯t hit him at that time. I was pushed into the car by him, okay?! I wasn¡¯t cheated!¡± In the end, because her body moved too violently when she turned her head to glare at him, a sharp pain came from her waist. Anhao immediately groaned in pain, her face full of resentment. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome eyebrows moved slightly as he sat beside her bed and placed his hand on her waist. Anhao thought that he was going to give her a massage, so she immediately understood the situation and said,¡±¡± There, there. It hurts there now. It¡¯s not that place from before .¡± In the end, Zuo Hancheng only placed his hand on her waist. Just as Anhao was in so much pain that she did not dare to turn around, he pressed his hand on the spot where the nurse had pressed her earlier. Anhao immediately stood up in pain and almost cried out. She turned around and glared at him fiercely.¡±Bastard, you actually hit me when I¡¯m down!¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Don¡¯t be so brainless in the future, and you won¡¯t exceed my expectations. At least within my expectations, your life will still be safe.¡±¡± ¡°Who¡¯s retarded? She made a retarded best friend and cried and begged me to help her go on a blind date. She even dressed me up like that. Do you think I¡¯m willing?¡±An lay on the bed and closed her eyes.¡±I¡¯ll sleep here today and not go back with you. I was too anxious to be discharged before, but now that I think about it, it¡¯s not bad to stay in the hospital.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure!¡± And then Anhao realized that there was no sound behind her. She hesitated for a moment before turning around and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out of the door. She was shocked. He actually let her go just like that? She thought that he would bring her back and bully her for 300 rounds before he stopped. He actually left her in the hospital to ¡± enjoy ¡± the pungent treatment of disinfectant? Just as Anhao was thinking about it, the old doctor from the Orthopedics Department came back from another consultation room. When he entered, he saw that Anhao was still lying there without moving. He immediately pushed up his silver-rimmed glasses and looked at her.¡±Why hasn¡¯t Miss Gu left yet?¡± ¡°My back hurts so much that I don¡¯t want to move.¡± Anhao casually found an excuse, but she did not expect Zuo Hancheng to really abandon her like this. There was actually still a little bit of it in this little heart Sour Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really too delicate! Anhao raised her hand and pressed it on her head. When the old doctor noticed that her expression was not too good, she complained,¡±Doctor, please arrange a ward for me. I¡¯ll continue to stay in the hospital.¡± The old doctor pushed his glasses and smiled,¡±¡±That¡¯s good. It just so happens that you still need a few days of acupuncture and massage for your waist injury. I heard from next door just now that you¡¯re not very satisfied with the nurses ¡®techniques, right? I¡¯ll arrange for a few other young people to give you a massage tomorrow morning. However, other than those nurses just now, the rest are all male doctors, and they¡¯re even male interns. I didn¡¯t say anything just now when President Zuo was here. When you perform acupuncture on your waist, you have to lift up your clothes ¡± Anhao looked at the old doctor in disbelief.¡±¡±Male doctor? Or an intern?¡± The old doctor smiled.¡± How can there be so many massage doctors in the hospital? Other than a few professional nurses and acupuncture doctors, of course, the majority of them are interns. ¡°Also, it¡¯s indeed best for you to stay in the hospital for a few more days. You should be massaged three times a day and receive acupuncture three times a day. This way, you will be completely recovered in about three days, and you won¡¯t have to go home to apply medicine ¡± ¡°How long will it take to apply medicine?¡± ¡°I can recover in more than a week, but isn¡¯t three days faster?¡± Anhao pursed her lips and stopped talking. She picked up her phone resolutely and called Zuo Hancheng. The phone rang a few times before she picked it up. When the phone rang, Anhao could imagine the look of satisfaction in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes when he saw her call. ¡°Hello .¡± Anhao continued to lie on the bed with a sad face and said in a small voice,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to be hospitalized anymore ¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Weren¡¯t you very sure just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. It sounded calm, but it was obvious that he was smiling. Anhao rolled her eyes at the corner.¡±Anyway, I¡¯m not staying here anymore. I¡¯ll just go back and apply the medicine. If I apply the medicine, it¡¯ll be fine in a week. The doctor¡¯s massage method here is too painful.¡± After she hung up the phone, she turned to look at the old doctor who was still smiling.¡±Doctor, do I still have to continue exercising every day?¡± ¡°Of course, we have to exercise. This way, we can speed up the recovery of the normal function of the soft tissue in the waist. However, it should not exceed half an hour a day.¡± It seemed that she had overexercised downstairs today and sat with those uncles and aunties for too long. If she had studied medicine, she would not have suffered so much. Anhao tried to sit up. At this moment, the door opened and Zuo Hancheng walked in. Anhao turned to look in his direction and saw that Zuo Hancheng did not look like he had driven away and returned. It was obvious that he had come back directly before leaving the hospital. The old physician was smiling in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. He even nodded at Zuo Hancheng after he entered the room. His smile was polite and warm. Anhao secretly gritted her teeth. She felt that the old physician had definitely been bribed by Zuo Hancheng. She did not care anymore. She had already lost face to this extent. Anhao raised her hand, indicating that she wanted Zuo Hancheng to come over and help her. Zuo Hancheng smiled when he saw that she was unable to sit up on her own. He did not make things difficult for her and walked over to help her sit up. At the same time, the old physician said,¡±¡±Give Miss Gu some anti-inflammatory and painkiller pills for the next few days, and help her do some simple massages to promote blood circulation and remove blood clots. Every morning and evening, apply the Chinese medicine I just prescribed.¡± After saying that, the old doctor nodded politely at Zuo Hancheng and walked out because there was a doctor on duty outside calling him. Anhao sat on the bed. Although she felt that her waist was in great pain from the massage earlier, she felt much better after sitting up. She turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng had returned with the medicine in his hand. She could not help but ask,¡±You went to get the medicine just now ¡± ¡°Do you really think I would leave you in the hospital?¡± ¡± Who knows if you¡¯ll suddenly become inhuman ¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and laughed.¡± If I were really inhumane, I would have fed myself first before caring about your life and death even if your waist was broken just now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m about to die, okay? You¡¯re still joking with me.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her, his expression was obviously one of desire and dissatisfaction, but he could do nothing about it. Chapter 666 - Chapter 666: Quickly Control Control Your Mr Zuo (2) Chapter 666: Quickly Control Control Your Mr Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°You deserve it.¡± Anhao complained and placed her hand on his shoulder, as if she wanted Big Boss Zuo to carry her off the bed. ¡°He deserved it.¡± Zuo Hancheng helped her down and said,¡±¡±Who asked me to find a wife who can eat and cook?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°I just thought that as long as I didn¡¯t exercise too much, it would help with my back injury. Who knew that I really couldn¡¯t exercise too much? Moreover, those uncles and aunties were chatting too happily with me at that time, so I didn¡¯t pay attention to the time ¡± Don¡¯t you remember what I said?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else and allowed him to take her out of the hospital. She remembered, but she always felt that it would be good to exercise more. She just wanted to end this half-disabled life early. There was no point in saying anything more. The consequences were right in front of her, and she had no strength to refute. When they finally reached home, Anhao fell on the bed and stopped moving. After Zuo Hancheng applied the medicine that the old doctor had instructed her to apply, Anhao lay on the sofa and looked at Zuo Hancheng who walked past her. She squinted her eyes and asked,¡±¡±How¡¯s your sleep quality these past few days?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± After Zuo Hancheng was done with her business, he turned around and poured a glass of water. When he walked to her side, he slowly drank the water in the glass and looked down at her.¡±Obviously, as long as you¡¯re within my line of sight, my sleep quality is pretty good.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at the ground. He had a better quality of sleep, but she had all kinds of insomnia and couldn¡¯t sleep well. In addition, her back hurt when she turned around at night. The feeling was indescribable. ¡°Why do you have insomnia?¡± Anhao thought about it and asked. Although she felt that this question would make her feel awkward, she still wanted to know why Zuo Hancheng had been suffering from insomnia for the past three years. Was it really because of her? Zuo Hancheng put down his cup and glanced at her.¡±¡±There is no need to explain this kind of pathological factor.¡± What¡¯s with the pathological factors? Anhao pursed her lips.¡± Lin Qing said that the sleeping pills you¡¯ve been taking for the past few years are ineffective, but you still take them often. Sleeping pills are too harmful to the body. In the future, no matter if you sleep well or not, don¡¯t take them anymore. If you really can¡¯t, drink a glass of hot milk at night and add some Chinese medicine that helps calm your nerves. This way, you can nurse your body and help you sleep. It¡¯s much better than sleeping pills.¡±¡± As Anhao spoke, she continued to lie on the sofa and rested her chin on her crossed arms. She squinted her eyes and said half-awake,¡±¡±Also, you¡¯re usually so busy, so you have to remember to eat on time. You already have stomach problems ¡± Actually, she had wanted to tell him about her stomach problem three years ago before she boarded the plane. Although she was not sure if he would take her advice to heart, she really wanted to talk to him more at that time. At that time, Zuo Hancheng had never appeared in front of her again. From the time he agreed to the divorce to the time she graduated and returned to the country, he had never really appeared in front of her for three years and two months. It might be too late to say this now, but Anhao still wanted to say,¡±¡± I have a roommate in America. She¡¯s Chinese. I heard that her family is in Chinese medicine. I¡¯ll call her later and ask if I can get some folk prescriptions for your stomach problem ¡± Zuo Hancheng stood by the sofa and looked at Anhao, who had been lying on the sofa, not looking at him, but nagging non-stop. His eyes were calm, and his lips curved slightly.¡±Stomach problems only need to be controlled and pay attention to the usual diet. It won¡¯t affect the body. This can only be considered an occupational disease that I had when I was working overtime in the United States for a long time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not serious, but a stomachache can kill you. When I was an intern at the Bode Company in the United States, I often worked overtime for half a month and ate a bowl of instant noodles every day. After that, my stomach hurt for a few days.¡±Anhao rested her head on her arm as she spoke. She squinted her eyes comfortably and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was standing by the sofa.¡± But speaking of which, if you didn¡¯t have the old problem of stomach problems, which makes you look like a mortal who will fall sick and hurt, I would have thought that you, Zuo Hancheng, would soon become a god ¡± Anhao was probably embarrassed because she was in the hospital just now, so her mouth was as sweet as honey. Zuo Hancheng casually picked up the medicine bag that had been on her for fifteen minutes. Anhao had almost fallen asleep again when he came back. When Zuo Hancheng threw the used medicine bag out and placed the hot towel on her waist, he looked down at Anhao, who was slightly sleepy. His eyes were deep and his voice was clear and slow.¡±Instead of saying that you don¡¯t want me to take sleeping pills anymore and telling me to eat on time, why don¡¯t you just obediently move everything to me? It¡¯s more effective than any sleeping pills.¡± Anhao had not fallen asleep yet. She opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Zuo Hancheng after hearing what he said. She turned around and lay on the sofa, looking at him.¡±Is the divorce agreement really invalid?¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her waist to help her secure the towel. He did not answer her directly. He only glanced at her and said,¡±¡±You will always be Mrs. Zuo.¡± What he meant was that it was indeed ineffective He confirmed it again and again, and the answer was the same again and again. Anhao immediately grabbed a pillow to cover her face with one hand and used the other hand to push his hand away. She needed to calm down for a while. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was pushed away by her, but he did not forcefully hold it down for her. Anhao turned around and buried her face into the sofa, refusing to move. ¡± Do you want to sleep on the sofa tonight?¡± Zuo Hancheng got up and glanced at her.¡± Of course, I don¡¯t mind you sleeping in my bedroom, as long as your waist can handle it. After all, I can¡¯t guarantee that my self-control has been greatly reduced.¡±¡± Anhao suddenly threw the pillow at him and sat up while enduring the pain in her waist. The blush on her face could not be any more obvious.¡±I¡¯m covered in the smell of medicine. It¡¯s so bad. I¡¯m going to take a shower and sleep. Good night!¡± After saying that, she stood up with her hands on her waist and went upstairs. Zuo Hancheng looked at her back as if she was escaping and sighed. He threw the pillow in his hand back onto the sofa. Anhao returned to the bedroom and stared at the bed. She thought of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression, which seemed as if he was determined to get her sooner or later. She felt like a little lamb that was being coaxed by him. The outcome would be the same no matter what. He recalled the last time they were intimate three years ago. It seemed that she had tied him to the bed. Zuo Hancheng had been waiting for three years for his unhappiness. It was hard to imagine that she would be unable to get out of bed for days and nights when he completely pressed her down as he wished. Thinking about it, Anhao couldn¡¯t help but shudder. Chapter 667 - Chapter 667: Quickly Control Your Mr Zuo (3) Chapter 667: Quickly Control Your Mr Zuo (3) Translator: 549690339 Three days later, Anhao received a call from Zi Ran. She said that the design drafts of their department and the 3D simulations that everyone had completed together had been approved and praised by the leaders. Shengling Group had also finalized their plans in advance. All the important work of the design department would be completed within a week. He also said that the construction department of the F Nation was planning to hold a celebration party for the design department together with the Construction Bureau. He asked Anhao if she was feeling better and if she could attend. Anhao happened to have nothing to do at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s place, and Mr. V had not given her a reply, so she could not officially start working on the design of the seaside villa for the time being. Having been idle at home for so many days, Anhao, who had never been interested in celebratory events, was now interested. She casually asked,¡±¡±Will our entire design department be going?¡± ¡°Of course. The leader said that it¡¯s because of our design department¡¯s outstanding performance. The theme of this celebration party is to celebrate with us. Speaking of which, it¡¯s strange. Minister Qin seemed to have changed into a different person some time ago. In the past, he used to give orders to our design department, but recently, Minister Qin has been especially polite to all of us. Why did you suddenly change so much?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. She remembered what Mobai had told her last time. Minister Qin knew about her relationship with Zuo Hancheng. No wonder he would suddenly hold such a grand celebration party for the design department. To put it bluntly, wasn¡¯t it just to suck up to Zuo Hancheng? Zuo Hancheng had yet to settle Minister Qin¡¯s case. Could it be that he was satisfied with his flattery? Qianlong still had a gentry by his side who knew that he was corrupt but still kept him around. Moreover, Minister Qin was a member of the political force after all. If he wanted to get rid of him directly, it seemed that Zuo Hancheng would need to use some simple connections. However, he did not put in any effort at all. He must have been slapped to his heart¡¯s content. Knowing Minister Qin¡¯s intentions, Anhao¡¯s mood to attend the meeting was instantly ruined.¡±¡±Then I¡¯d better not go. My colleagues in the department have always had a problem with me, and they suspect that there¡¯s something going on between me and Minister Qin. Now that Minister Qin suddenly places so much importance on the design department, Xiao Qiu and the others will probably have something to talk about again.¡± ¡°The reason I called you was to tell you that Qiu and the others didn¡¯t just keep gossiping about you behind your back. They even joined forces to report to the Secretary, saying that they suspected that Minister Qin was having an affair with you. Although the Secretary scolded Qiu and the others back, Minister Qin was called over by the Secretary for a talk. After that, for some reason, the Secretary didn¡¯t ask about it anymore. Qiu and the others even said that you must have gotten in through the back door. Otherwise, how could the secretary let you off so easily ¡± Anhao didn¡¯t think much of it after hearing this, but it sounded like Zi Ran was extremely angry. Her tone was full of resentment,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know where Qiu found a super rich man last week, but he even planned to marry her in a flash. He said that he would pick a good day to register their marriage in a few days. She¡¯s been acting so high and mighty in our office recently. Xiaohui has already handed in his resignation letter because of this. He doesn¡¯t want to stay in this office anymore. You haven¡¯t been back recently, and our office is in a foul mood. Qiu is getting more and more cocky. She was so lawless that no one dared to control her!¡± Zi Ran¡¯s family background was very good, so she naturally wouldn¡¯t be jealous of Little Qiu¡¯s sudden relationship with a rich man. In other words, Little Qiu had indeed gone too far recently, which was why Zi Ran, who usually had a good temper, was so angry. Anhao had yet to sort out her own matters, so she didn¡¯t have the mood to care about scumbags like Little Qiu and Little Dong. However, Zi Ran¡¯s tone sounded as if Anhao was really going to turn the office upside down if she didn¡¯t go back soon. Her waist had already recovered a lot in the past two days, and walking back and forth did not affect her. Anhao listened to Zi Ran complain for a while, and when she heard her aggrieved voice that sounded like she was waiting to be rescued, she smiled and said,¡±Tomorrow is Monday. I¡¯ll go and take a look tomorrow.¡± ¡°Ya, you really want to come! Is my body really better? Then this Wednesday is the celebration party. Do you want to go too?¡±Zi Ran¡¯s voice immediately sounded a little happy. Zuo Hancheng did not restrict her freedom. He only told her to exercise for a while every day according to the schedule, apply medicine, rest, walk around occasionally, and not sit for too long. So, even if she went to the government office for a walk or attended a celebration party for the next two days, it would not matter. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the F department tomorrow to check on the situation. We¡¯ll talk about Wednesday when that day comes. After all, I¡¯m the person in charge of the design department. Even if I didn¡¯t say that I would go in advance, no one would chase me out if I really showed up.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Sis Anhao, you have to dress up nicely when you come tomorrow. Qiu has been wearing branded women¡¯s clothes every day to show off because she¡¯s hooked up with a rich man. Even her bag is full of all kinds of cosmetics that cost thousands of yuan. She looks like a nouveau riche. It¡¯s really unbearable. You have to compare yourself to her when you come.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen the branded clothes she¡¯s wearing. Even I didn¡¯t think it was a big deal. Why are you so angry?¡± Besides, why should I compete with her?¡± Zi Ran instantly exploded in anger and said,¡± The point is that she¡¯s been making sarcastic remarks about you every day. She¡¯s been trying to compare herself to you every day. She even said that you only have the chance to become the director of the design department because you¡¯re being kept by someone. She also said that you don¡¯t have any other skills and only know how to climb into other men¡¯s beds. You only know how to show off in front of her with a Givenchy suit. She even said that she has so many Givenchy suits in her closet that she can smash you into the ground ¡± Anhao didn¡¯t get angry when she heard that. Instead, she suddenly laughed. It seemed that her sarcastic remarks last time had hurt Xiao Qiu¡¯s heart. Even she had almost forgotten that she had mentioned her clothes last time, but Xiao Qiu remembered it so clearly. ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll go and take a look tomorrow.¡±As if she was coaxing a child who had lost an argument, Ann said,¡± I¡¯m here to support you. Don¡¯t be angry. Anyway, your family background and education background are better than hers. There¡¯s nothing to be angry with a person like her.¡±¡± ¡°I just feel bad for you. You should have just fired Xiao Qiu back then. Now she¡¯s going around criticizing you all day. I¡¯m really furious when I hear that. The key is that those people really believed what she said. Now everyone thinks that there¡¯s something going on between you and Minister Qin ¡° Chapter 668 - Chapter 668: Quickly Control Your Mr Zuo (4) Chapter 668: Quickly Control Your Mr Zuo (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Those people can think whatever they want.¡±Anhao said softly,¡± An upright person is not afraid of a crooked shadow. I don¡¯t need to teach you this kind of saying that has been passed down for thousands of years. You¡¯ve been working for so long now. You¡¯re no longer a student who needs to be loyal to others. Don¡¯t get too upset with those people because of my rumors. I don¡¯t even take it seriously. Why are you so angry?¡±¡± ¡°Anyways, Sis Anhao, just dress up nicely in the future so that Qiu won¡¯t be too cocky. If you don¡¯t have any good jewelry, I¡¯ll bring some from home for you to wear tomorrow.¡± What a An honest girl. Anhao smiled and said,¡± I don¡¯t need any jewelry. I understand what you mean. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be too shabby.¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. I also think that since you¡¯re able to live in a place like Luxury Court, you must have some story or background. Although you won¡¯t tell me, I don¡¯t care. Anyway, it¡¯s good that you don¡¯t lose to that scumbag Qiu.¡± ¡°Alright, I got it. See you tomorrow.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± After hanging up the phone, Anhao looked at her phone. Although she didn¡¯t really care, she also felt that the world was indeed not balanced. Why was it that women like Xiao Qiu, who went around fawning over others, could really get better and better, while those down-to-earth girls always seemed to have no chance of making a name for themselves? Speaking of the Givenchy outfit that she got when she was preparing to go to the Bode company for her internship, she thought about it carefully and suspected that the outfit might have something to do with Zuo Hancheng. Of course, it was just a guess, but it was indeed very possible. That night, Zuo Hancheng couldn¡¯t come back early because he had a business meeting at the company. Anhao was about to go to the kitchen to make something to eat when Lin Qing suddenly came. Lin Qing said that he was going to pick her up to eat at a food stall. Anhao was shocked when she heard the words ¡®food stall¡¯ and felt that it was impossible. However, when she and Lin Qing arrived at the so-called food stall, she found out that Wenner¡¯s business in the country had been expanding in the past few years. After opening a few large nightclubs in the province, he even began to design a restaurant business. For some reason, he accepted Zuo Hancheng¡¯s suggestion and opened such a stylish food stall in the city that had a very good hygiene environment. The shop was gorgeous and clean, but the food inside was not expensive. It was the food that Anhao liked to eat in the food stalls, which Zuo Hancheng had personally witnessed her vomit and diarrhea. It was the first day of opening for this food stall, and it was already full of people. Although it was a luxurious restaurant business, no matter how many people there were, the hygiene was always controlled by professionals. When Lin Qing pulled Anhao in, he even said that Wenner¡¯s food stall was managed by a few top chefs in the country. All the food that entered the mouth was absolutely clean, and no one would get a stomachache or hurt their body. Anhao was surprised that Wenner could open such a business. She even began to suspect that when Wenner asked Zuo Hancheng to discuss the food and beverage industry with Zuo Hancheng, Zuo Hancheng would casually give him a suggestion. There were too many people in the dining hall. Lin Qing pulled her to a quieter private room upstairs. The moment she entered, she was surprised to see Zuo Hancheng there too. However, there were a few foreigners beside him who were talking to him. When she entered the door, Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her and then at Lin Qing, meaning for Lin Qing to find a place for her to sit. After that, he continued to talk to the foreigners beside him in English. It seemed like Boss Zuo had invited a few international friends to discuss something important in Wenner¡¯s newly opened food stall. Anhao did not go over to ask more questions. After sitting down, Wenner also walked in. When he saw Anhao, he whistled at her and sat down next to Anhao. After taking a look at her condition, he suddenly whispered into her ear,¡±Mr. Zuo¡¯s selfishness has already reached the point of forcing me to help you satisfy your appetite. Anhao, shouldn¡¯t you discipline your Mr. Zuo properly?¡± ¡°Did I not understand or did you not express yourself clearly?¡± Anhao was surprised.¡± Wenner continued to whisper into her ear,¡±¡±I originally wanted to invite a few high-end western chefs that I was familiar with in the United States to come over. I planned to establish a huge western business model in City A and compete with other western restaurants in the city. In the end, when I went to Zuo Hancheng to discuss financing and borrow money from him for the first time, he asked me to change the project into a food stall.¡± Anhao looked at Wenner in shock.¡±¡±Really?¡± ¡± Of course it¡¯s true. That¡¯s why I said that your Mr. Zuo¡¯s selfishness is really too scary. He made me, a foreigner, come to China to open such a particular food stall. He even asked for all kinds of hygiene, environment, and so on. Only when he was satisfied did he agree to finance and invest in it. Later, I asked Mobai and found out that it was because you usually like to eat this kind of thing I haven¡¯t seen you for three years, but you still abuse a single foreigner like me. You even exploit me. My style as a western restaurant owner has instantly become that of a food stall owner.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and she said softly,¡±¡±Maybe it¡¯s just a coincidence. After all, I saw that your business is so hot on your first day of business. It¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re making a lot of money. Besides, I used to prefer western food. It doesn¡¯t conflict with the food stalls. Maybe it¡¯s just a coincidence ¡± Wenner snorted.¡± That¡¯s all I have to say. Just slowly feel for yourself how terrifying Mr. Zuo¡¯s selfishness is.¡±¡± Anhao glanced at him and said,¡±You¡¯re exaggerating.¡±¡± At this moment, a waiter came over to serve the dishes. Anhao saw that there were many dishes from normal restaurants on the table, but there were also a few dishes that could only be eaten at food stalls. She could not help but look up in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction, a little uncertain. Because of her glance, Mobai, who was sitting next to Zuo Hancheng, suddenly stood up and said,¡±¡±Anhao, come over and sit.¡± Anhao¡¯s face tensed up. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was still talking to those foreigners. His English was very good, and he spoke American English and pure English very well. Anhao could hear the sharpness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone from such a far table. Even if they were in this kind of ¡± food stall ¡°, it could not hide the elegance of his standing. After Mobai forcefully changed her seat, Anhao sat next to Zuo Hancheng. When he turned to look at her, she turned her head and whispered,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to the government office tomorrow. There¡¯s a merit banquet on Wednesday, and I want to attend.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on her face and he said in a low voice,¡±¡±A celebration party? The one that the government and the Construction Bureau were preparing to hold? Coincidentally, I¡¯m going too.¡± Chapter 669 - Chapter 669: Zuo Hancheng, the Crazy Wife Protector (1) Chapter 669: Zuo Hancheng, the Crazy Wife Protector (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was stunned and looked at him with some doubts.¡±¡±It can¡¯t be, right? What a coincidence!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± I received an invitation, but I didn¡¯t plan to go. Since you want to go, I¡¯ll accompany you.¡±¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t have the time, you don¡¯t have to go. Besides, if I go with you, the situation will probably be out of control. You know that besides the news from three years ago, basically no one knows about us. If we suddenly go together, it will definitely cause a big news.¡± Zuo Hancheng only glanced at her again and did not say whether he was going or not. The two foreigners beside him seemed to have thought of something and suddenly called out to him. Zuo Hancheng looked back and spoke to them in English. Anhao did not intend to interrupt, so she sat at the side and took a sip of the drink that Mobai had just poured for her. ¡°Come, Anhao.¡± Wenner did not disturb Zuo Hancheng when he was discussing business with others. Obviously, they all knew Zuo Hancheng¡¯s rules, so Wenner stood up and poured Anhao a glass of wine.¡±Don¡¯t just drink drinks. Isn¡¯t this environment suitable for drinking? I¡¯ve heard that you can hold your liquor very well, but I¡¯ve never seen it before. There¡¯s a saying in China that goes,¡¯It¡¯s better to have a drink now than now.¡¯ Do you want to have two glasses?¡± As soon as Wenner finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng glanced at him indifferently.¡±¡±Anhao has a waist injury and is still applying medicine. She can¡¯t drink.¡± After saying that, she continued to chat with the foreigners as if nothing had happened. Anhao, on the other hand, instantly felt like a cooked shrimp from head to toe. Under the ambiguous gazes of everyone at the table, especially Wenner, she smiled awkwardly.¡±You probably know what happened to me a few days ago. At that time, I fell quite badly, especially my waist. The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine for me, but I can¡¯t do it myself, so I¡¯m temporarily staying in Eternal Sea City ¡± ¡°I know that you live in the famous city of Eternal Sea. There¡¯s no need to explain.¡± Wenner snorted.¡± As he spoke, Wenner shot a glance at Mobai. Mobai smiled back, but he suddenly gave him a look to tell him not to say anything, lest Anhao knew that he had let the cat out of the bag. In the end, Anhao still turned to look at Mobai as if she had sensed something. Mobai couldn¡¯t help but rub his nose when he saw her gaze. He quickly refilled Anhao¡¯s drink as an apology. ¡°Mr. Zuo has already activated his wife-protecting mode again. He¡¯s completely a wife-protecting demon. You don¡¯t have to explain so much to us. Come, have a drink.¡±Wenner raised his glass and smiled at the unmoved Anhao.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Not giving me face?¡± ¡°You¡¯re a foreigner. Why are the rules you learn at the table more and more like us Chinese?¡±Anhao smiled and mocked him.¡± I can substitute anything for wine. The key is that there has to be a reason for drinking. What¡¯s your reason for asking me to drink?¡±¡± Wenner raised his eyebrows.¡± To celebrate Mrs. Zuo¡¯s glorious return. Also, to celebrate Mr. Zuo¡¯s recent good health. It¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s sleeping very well.¡±¡± As Wenner spoke, he looked at Anhao and Zuo Hancheng ambiguously. His blue eyes swept over Anhao and Zuo Hancheng before he finished the wine in his glass. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She realized that Wenner had really learned to be a bad person. In the past, he was still a gentleman. In the end, she did not expect that in the past few years, he, a dignified FBI detective and a famous criminal psychologist, had learned to mock her like a ruffian. Was this revenge for what she had said two years ago? After all, after he had said so much back then, she had left without giving him any attitude or response. Back then, she felt that there were so many truths in front of her that she did not know how to deal with them. She also felt that she could not breathe, so she left silently. In the end, it was obvious that Wenner had a problem with her because of that incident. ¡°Your Mr. Zuo is usually so busy with work that he doesn¡¯t even have a weekend off. It¡¯s rare for him to have a day off to read and review the things sent by the company. He¡¯s so tired, so of course he sleeps well.¡±Anhao deliberately retaliated. However, Wenner smiled and looked at her with ill intentions.¡±¡± Mr. Zuo has indeed been so busy these past three years that he doesn¡¯t have any spare time. However, it seems that the quality of his sleep isn¡¯t as good as you say ¡± As he spoke, Wenner suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Anhao meaningfully. He then looked at Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s obvious that he has a wife to hug. Otherwise, why would his complexion have improved so much recently?¡± It was really scary to know a psychologist. Wenner obviously suspected that Anhao had fed Zuo Hancheng to his heart¡¯s content. However, the reality was that Anhao¡¯s waist injury was too serious. Zuo Hancheng had insisted on letting her continue sleeping alone on the second floor for many days in order to prevent himself from hurting her. He did not force her to sleep with him. Otherwise, who knew who would be the one suffering? Anhao raised her eyebrows and didn¡¯t say anything. She was talking to a few foreign friends. Zuo Hancheng suddenly glanced at Winnar. Upon receiving Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warning gaze, Wenner raised his eyebrows and smiled.¡±¡±Tsk, the wife-protecting demon is online again. In order to satisfy Anhao¡¯s appetite, I even became the owner of a food stall. Mr. Zuo, can¡¯t you let me complain to your wife?¡± ¡°What are you complaining about? Are you complaining about making too much money?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently.¡±¡±I don¡¯t mind investing another 20% of the shares and putting your newly established restaurant group under my name.¡± Mobai did not say a word. He just smiled and gave Anhao a look. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng was a man of his word. The restaurant was already so popular on the first day of its opening. It was obvious that it could make a lot of money. Zuo Hancheng was a businessman, so he did not mind transferring all the shares of the food stall to Shengling Group. By then, Wenner would not even have a chance to get a share of the profits, let alone complain. Wenner just poured another glass of wine and said with a smile,¡±¡± When Mr. Zuo suggested that I open a food stall, I really thought that he was suffering from a mental breakdown due to a prolonged period of poor mental health. But from today¡¯s grand occasion, I have to have a deep conversation with you in order to protect the lifeline of my business. About the divorce agreement between you and Anhao .¡± Wenner was obviously going to expose Zuo Hancheng¡¯s past. Anhao looked at Wenner curiously when she heard that. She also wanted to know the origins of this matter and what Zuo Hancheng had done to make the divorce agreement invalid. Chapter 670 - Chapter 670: Wife Protector Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 670: Wife Protector Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 However, Zuo Hancheng glanced at Wenner and said calmly,¡±¡±She already knows.¡± Wenner instantly choked and looked at Anhao.¡±¡±You know?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched, and she put on an innocent face.¡±¡±What do I know Actually, I don¡¯t understand it very well either ¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned around and looked at her seriously. Anhao instinctively froze when she met his gaze. It was not until Zuo Hancheng leaned over to her ear and said in a low voice that everyone in the private room could hear,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, if you don¡¯t understand, why would you really stay in my current residence in a panic? Wenner wasn¡¯t anyone else. There was no need to play such psychological tactics with him. You couldn¡¯t even defeat me with this kind of tactic, and you still want to fight with a person who specialized in psychology? Can¡¯t you tell that he¡¯s trying to trick you?¡± Anhao immediately turned to look at Wenner, only to see him smiling maliciously as he raised his hand to rub his chin. Then, he raised his glass and toasted in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Without waiting for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response, he finished the wine in his glass. Anhao was shocked. It turned out that Wenner had really been confirmed by Zuo Hancheng and was really trying to get information out of her. ¡°What are you trying to get out of me?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but smile as she looked at him.¡± You and Mobai obviously know about my matters. What else can you get out of me?¡±¡± ¡°Are you used to living in Heng Hai Ming?¡±Wenner looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warning gaze again and immediately raised his eyebrows.¡±Do you have any plans to return to the Gilded Scenic Garden? Anyway, there have always been people who have been cleaning there for so many years. It should be no different from when you left.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao and saw that she was still in a daze. He had no idea what Wenner was up to. Perhaps she had not completely figured out the tricks that Zuo Hancheng had left for her, and now it had changed to Wenner¡¯s tricks. There were too many tricks that she could not figure out at the moment. Just as Wenner was about to continue asking, Zuo Hancheng said in a deep voice beside Anhao,¡±¡±We¡¯ll move back after we come back from America.¡± This matter If she and Zuo Hancheng really did not divorce, it did not seem to be something that she could decide. After all, whether it was Heng Hai City, Hua Ting Private Garden, or Liu Jing Garden, they were all Zuo Hancheng¡¯s places. In other words, whether she refused or agreed, she was still in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s territory. Even though she had been in the United States for three years, she had never left. Wenner had a new business opening today, so he was in a good mood. He drank a little too much and got up to go to the bathroom. Anhao took advantage of the time when Zuo Hancheng and the few international friends were discussing some key issues to get up and go out. Before Wenner reached the bathroom, Anhao quickly caught up with him.¡±¡±What¡¯s going on with the divorce agreement? Did you all know about it back then?¡± Wenner stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. Although he had drunk a little too much, he was obviously not drunk. After looking at her for a while, he suddenly smiled and said,¡±Wait a moment. I need to pee. I¡¯ll tell you when I come out.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. A few minutes later, Wenner walked out of the bathroom with one hand in his pocket. He leaned against the wall and looked at Anhao.¡±Before you ask me the truth about the divorce agreement, shouldn¡¯t you explain to me why you left so quickly after you found out about Rongxue and Zuo Hancheng?¡± Anhao looked at him calmly. After a while, she said,¡±¡±Because I feel that I have done too many wrong things, and it seems that I don¡¯t even have the chance to apologize. Instead of sitting there and suffering in my heart, it¡¯s better to leave.¡± ¡°If Mr. Zuo had gone to the United States and looked for you in the past three years, would you have followed him back?¡± Anhao paused. Maybe.¡± She felt that what she and Zuo Hancheng lacked was a legitimate reason, a suitable opportunity. In the past three years, Zuo Hancheng had not contacted her at all, which made her forget about the guilt and scars in her heart bit by bit. She thought that she could return to her normal state of being alone. In the end, she did not expect that not long after she returned to the country, her life had been ruined by Zuo Hancheng again. So if Zuo Hancheng had gone to look for her in the past three years, perhaps she would have obediently stood by his side again. However, he had not appeared in the past three years. Now that she had returned to the country, she suspected that she had been caught in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s trap. She didn¡¯t want to run away, nor did she intend to run away. But now, she was suddenly forced to accept the expectations that she had used three years to push away. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t want to accept it, but she had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter. Wenner looked at her for a while and smiled.¡±¡±Actually, I also admire Mister Zuo¡¯s boldness in letting you go when he said so. At first, I didn¡¯t understand. Since I didn¡¯t intend to let go, I could even send you the divorce papers as you wished to let you completely get rid of these restraints. Since I could be so attentive to you, why didn¡¯t I really want to see you for the past three years? Even if he knew that it was your birthday in the first year in the United States and that he was in Boston, he really didn¡¯t go to see you. On the second day, he really left without any nostalgia, as if there was no one he missed in that city.¡± ¡°When you returned to the country, I realized that the three years he let you leave was indeed the wisest choice. The Gu Anhao that he had wanted to transform back then had turned into a beautiful piece of jade in an environment where she was free from all ties. She had grown into a truly beautiful person. Just like now, you were no longer the rebellious girl who had been fighting everywhere and causing trouble all day long. You were now a designer who was proficient in the architectural design industry. You were a designer who had become famous after entering the industry. Moreover, your personality had become much more stable. It was obvious that you had indeed grown up, Anhao.¡± Anhao stood where she was, her expression unchanged.¡±So the divorce agreement is fake?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s not fake. That divorce agreement was indeed the one you printed personally before you left. President Zuo¡¯s signature was not fake either. Although there was a stamp on it, President Zuo did not take the final step.¡± ¡°What is the last step?¡± ¡°Because you weren¡¯t around, if he really wanted to get a divorce, he had to take the divorce agreement signed by the two of you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate and stamp it. He didn¡¯t do this last step.¡± Anhao had never gotten a divorce before, so she thought that it would be fine as long as they signed the agreement. Besides, Zuo Hancheng had a professional lawyer by his side, so she could just hand the agreement over to the lawyer to go through the follow-up procedures. She did not expect him to not go through the final procedures. Chapter 671 - Chapter 671: Zuo Hancheng, the Crazy Wife Protector (3) Chapter 671: Zuo Hancheng, the Crazy Wife Protector (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°So, you should know how cunning your Mr Zuo is now.¡±Wenner smiled and said,¡± He asked you to go abroad because he clearly doesn¡¯t intend for you to go through the final divorce procedures with him. Anhao, you¡¯re still no match for Zuo Hancheng. He has already calculated every step. You¡¯re the only one who still thinks that you have nothing to do with him.¡±¡± Anhao raised her hand and placed it on her forehead.¡± It seems that if I want to continue working for Zuo Hancheng, I should find some time to catch up on my legal knowledge.¡±¡± Wenner smiled.¡± If you stay by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for too long, it will be useless no matter how much you learn. You, a spectator, can¡¯t even see the situation as clearly as he, the one who controls the game. How can you expect yourself to turn the tables on the situation that he controls?¡± ¡°Oh, right.¡± ¡± I heard that Mr. Zuo and you went through the procedures in the United States,¡± Wenner said.¡± When Old Master Zuo refused to acknowledge you as his granddaughter-in-law, he asked the people in the United States to complete the marriage procedures as soon as possible. So, it¡¯s much harder for you to divorce Mr. Zuo than you think ¡± ¡°Did you guys already know that I was going back to China before I came back?¡± Anhao asked with an embarrassed expression.¡± ¡°Finally enlightened?¡± Wenner raised his eyebrows.¡± Sure enough, there was no need to ask. She knew that the news that she had suddenly received about Anping and was preparing to return to the country to investigate was also related to Zuo Hancheng! Zuo Hancheng was really Just as Wenner had said How cunning! No wonder so many businessmen in the country had tried to suppress him all these years, but they ended up being played by Zuo Hancheng. None of them were able to bring down Shengling Group. Such an old fox, even if those people formed a group to fight, they would probably only lose twice. Just like how the Qi, Gu, and Yi families had pressured Zuo Hancheng for the time being, the result was that the three families would never be able to rise again. Shengling Group was not affected at all. This man¡¯s IQ and means were above that of ordinary people. Anhao felt her little heart throb at the thought of it. She felt that her self-righteous wings were about to be completely snapped at this moment. Seeing Anhao¡¯s stunned expression, Wenner smiled and patted her shoulder.¡±¡± If I were a woman, I would be envious that Mr. Zuo cherishes you so much. Don¡¯t forget that there are still many women around Zuo Hancheng who are eyeing you covetously. Don¡¯t be ignorant of your good fortune. Be careful that one day, a woman might take advantage of you. For example, a woman like Bai Weiwei, who has a prominent family background and can stand side by side with Mr. Zuo in her career, is your number one enemy.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows jumped when she heard that. She looked at Wenner suddenly, but Wenner walked past her with a smile. Thinking of Bai Weiwei, Anhao looked in Wenner¡¯s direction and said,¡±¡±Two years ago, Bai Weiwei took the position of Deputy Director of the Construction Bureau, and Zuo Hancheng also obtained the qualification for municipal reconstruction two years ago.¡± Wenner looked back at her.¡±¡± That incident has nothing to do with her, but it has something to do with Bai Weiwei¡¯s father. Her father is a very important leader in Beijing, and Mr. Zuo is the most promising husband in his eyes. It¡¯s not that you don¡¯t have enemies around you, but Mr. Zuo has always protected you too well. You don¡¯t see the bloodshed around him. All these years, you only know one Rongxue and one Bai Weiwei. He has really protected you too well. Do you want to know how many women have tried to climb into your husband¡¯s bed in the past three years?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. Anyway, she knew that those women could not climb up. ¡°You seem quite curious,¡± Wenner laughed.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not looking for trouble.¡± Anhao quickly walked over. When she reached Wenner, she saw Wenner looking at her with a smug smile. She immediately turned to look at him.¡±Does Bai Weiwei really like Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°Do you even need to ask?¡± Wenner snorted. You can ask any woman who has come into contact with Mr. Zuo and doesn¡¯t have a good impression of him.¡± Anhao Mo . Was there a need to flatter Zuo Hancheng to such an extent? Although she knew that Zuo Hancheng was indeed very charming, not every woman was so infatuated with him. There were actually many women who had self-control like her. ¡± But then again, when will I become so charming? I guess I won¡¯t lack a bed partner every day in the future.¡± Wenner rubbed his chin and turned to walk towards the private room.¡±Life is really as lonely as snow ¡± Anhao was speechless. When she returned to the private room, the seat beside Zuo Hancheng was still empty. The table was basically filled with people who were usually close to Zuo Hancheng or his trusted subordinates like Mobai. The rest were his friends from abroad. Other than her, there were no other women. There were indeed many women who were eyeing Zuo Hancheng covetously, but Wenner had obviously provoked her on purpose. After all, Zuo Hancheng was famous for his clean conduct. He never flirted with any woman at social events. He rarely saw women even when he went out for a meal. Did she really have to be provoked by a few words from Wenner? However, she still walked over to Zuo Hancheng and sat down beside him. Seeing that there was no wine in the glass beside his hand, she took a clean glass in front of him and poured him a glass of water. Sensing Anhao¡¯s actions, Zuo Hancheng turned back to look at her. Anhao pushed the glass of water in front of him and said,¡±¡±Your stomach isn¡¯t good. If you can drink less, drink less ¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and did not say anything. He only turned his head back and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. After that, Anhao heard him talking to a few of his international friends who were looking at her curiously and mentioned the words ¡®my wife¡¯. It turned out that these foreigners did not know her identity and just thought that she was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s female companion. When they heard Zuo Hancheng say that his wife was advising him to drink less, they looked at Anhao with strange and curious eyes. Anhao had never participated in such a scene with Zuo Hancheng before, especially in front of so many international friends. In the past, she was still young and a high school student. Although there were some public occasions, he still protected her and did not let her face too much attention from the outside world. Now that she was no longer a student, these foreigners looked at her with curiosity and inexplicable admiration, as if they were very curious about the woman who could be married by Zuo Hancheng. Chapter 672 - Chapter 672: Zuo Hancheng, the Crazy Wife Protector (4) Chapter 672: Zuo Hancheng, the Crazy Wife Protector (4) Translator: 549690339 In the past, Anhao had thought that Zuo Hancheng was the only one who would be the center of attention wherever he went. Now, she realized that anyone who had anything to do with Zuo Hancheng was a shining star. He didn¡¯t expect these foreigners to directly ask him in English how he managed to marry such a beautiful lady. The topic suddenly changed from a business conversation to various praises for Mrs. Zuo. Anhao¡¯s English was much better than before. After all, she had been in the United States for three years. She did not listen carefully when they were talking earlier, and she could only hear some of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sharp words. Now that she was sitting beside him, she could clearly hear the praises of these foreigners. Although she knew that this was a westerner¡¯s etiquette and respect for Zuo Hancheng and Mrs. Zuo, she was not afraid. These were all people who worked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s business, and they were also foreigners. Although she did not want to be too reserved, she could not be too bold. Hence, Anhao smiled and thanked them, and did not look at them anymore. Then, she heard the foreigners praise her in a low voice, but what Zuo Hancheng said next made Anhao¡¯s ears warm up. ¡°My wife is feeling embarrassed,¡± he said in English.¡± Who would be embarrassed! Was it because she wasn¡¯t familiar with these people and was also someone in his business, so she didn¡¯t want to perform too well? If she wanted to show off, she didn¡¯t even ask what Gu Anhao did in school! Now that he had grown up, he had restrained himself. But how did he say the word ¡¯embarrassing¡¯?! After the meal, it started to rain heavily outside. Anhao stood by the window in the corridor and waited. Zuo Hancheng had to be the host and personally arrange the schedule of those international friends. It was not until Mo Bai brought the other assistants and secretaries to pick up those international friends that Anhao stood by the window and heard familiar footsteps behind her. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps had always been slow and steady, but they sounded especially familiar to her. Perhaps, to her, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps always represented a sense of security. After standing there for so long, she had thought about Wenner¡¯s words in detail. If she had never let go of everything about Zuo Hancheng, why would she push away the person she loved? Besides, she already knew Zuo Hancheng¡¯s good intentions. Therefore, no matter how tender she was, it seemed that even she could not forgive herself. After all, if she did not hold on to a man like Zuo Hancheng, there would always be other women who would pounce on him and try to make his presence known. Now, she was no longer as impulsive and willful as before. She had to cherish what she should cherish. After all, she had lived for twenty-three years. Whether it was her family background, experience, or familiarity with all of the past, the only person who made her feel warm and hopeful, happy, or really sad was Zuo Hancheng. When the person behind her approached, Anhao suddenly turned around. Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks the moment she turned around. This was a good angle, and he could see the two faint blushes on Anhao¡¯s cheeks from the light in the corridor. He looked down at her.¡±It¡¯s raining. Are we going back after the rain stops? I parked the car across the road. You might get wet if you walk over. Your waist can¡¯t catch a cold now.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go now. I want to go back to my previous place to pack my luggage.¡±Anhao said. As soon as Anhao said that, Zuo Hancheng looked at her deeply. He did not ask any questions, but he seemed to be in a good mood. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the elevator. Wenner had just sent someone back. When he saw that Zuo Hancheng and Anhao were still around, Wenner had already drunk quite a bit today. Although he was not drunk, he was indeed drunk. At this moment, he was walking unsteadily. When he walked over, he said,¡±The rain outside is not light. Although there are no rooms available in my food stall, we can rest for a while in the private room. How about it, Mr. Zuo?¡± ¡°Two umbrellas, please.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng looked at him indifferently, not giving him any face at all. Wenner snorted.¡± Mr. Zuo, you can say that you¡¯re second in the ability to burn bridges after crossing the river. No one can say that they¡¯re first.¡±¡± After saying that, he called over the waiter who was cleaning the private room.¡±Go, prepare two umbrellas for President Zuo. It¡¯s raining so heavily. Don¡¯t let his delicate wife get drenched.¡± These words sounded Why did she sound so sour as if she had stolen Wenner¡¯s husband? Anhao could not help but laugh. Zuo Hancheng looked back at her and she immediately held back her laughter. She looked up at him and said,¡±You drank a lot today. Can you still drive?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not drunk, I¡¯m fine.¡± Anhao nodded her head and did not say anything else. Although it was not good to drink and drive, Zuo Hancheng was not drunk at all. Although he had drunk just now, he had always followed his drinking limit and would not deliberately compete with others. Moreover, the people who had business dealings with Zuo Hancheng, especially the foreigners, were all gentlemen and would not deliberately force people to get drunk. The waiter moved quickly and brought over two blue umbrellas with the name of the food stall printed on them. Wenner took them and turned around to bring them over.¡±Then, umbrella.¡± After Zuo Hancheng took the umbrella, he glanced back at Anhao. Anhao understood and quickly followed him. When the two of them reached the elevator, Wenner stood in the distance and complained,¡±¡±You two are indeed the same kind of people. You¡¯ve been so busy for you, but in the end, you didn¡¯t even say goodbye. Aren¡¯t you too inhumane?¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks, but Zuo Hancheng walked in without turning back when the elevator door opened. He even glanced at Wenner when he reached the door and picked up the umbrella in his hand.¡±Isn¡¯t it enough for me to take your umbrella and go out to help you advertise? What do you want me to do?¡± That¡¯s right, Zuo Hancheng was holding an umbrella from Wenner¡¯s shop, and the name of the food stall was printed on it. Wenner¡¯s mouth twitched and he waved his hand.¡±¡±Go, go, go. I won¡¯t stop the two of you.¡± Anhao walked into the elevator. When the two of them walked out of the shop, Anhao looked at the rain outside the door and walked beside Zuo Hancheng to ask,¡±¡±Just now, Wenner was obviously planning to keep you for a few more drinks. Why did he suddenly cower when you mentioned helping him advertise?¡± Zuo Hancheng held up his umbrella.¡± Most of the advertisements that Shengling Group sponsors are sky-high. I¡¯m using this umbrella to openly enter his shop. In other words, do you think he¡¯s willing to pay for this ¡®advertising fee¡¯?¡± It turned out that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words had not only turned off the favor he owed Wenner, but also made Wenner owe him a huge sum of money. It was just a sentence or two. If Wenner had kept them here for another ten minutes, the shop would have been transferred to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name in an instant. In terms of cunning and cunning, Zuo Hancheng was definitely the one! Chapter 673 - Chapter 673: Take It Off Yourself, Don’t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (1) Chapter 673: Take It Off Yourself, Don¡¯t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (1) Translator: 549690339 In terms of cunning and cunning, Zuo Hancheng was definitely the one! Anhao smiled and was about to take the umbrella from him when she felt a warmth on her shoulder. Zuo Hancheng had already put his suit jacket on her back. Anhao was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked at the clothes on her shoulders.¡±I¡¯m holding an umbrella anyway. There¡¯s no need for that.¡± ¡°The doctor told you not to catch a cold in the short term. It¡¯s better to have an extra barrier than to be directly blown by the cold wind on a rainy night.¡±As he spoke, Zuo Hancheng did not intend to let her use the other umbrella and just held her by his side. Coincidentally, this umbrella was big enough. When the two of them walked into the rain, Anhao would not get wet as long as she stayed close to him. As they walked across the road to the side of the car, a gust of wind blew. Although the umbrella was held firmly above her head, some rain still fell on Anhao¡¯s legs and back. Although she had Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes, it was not a big deal. Anhao was not as delicate as Wenner had said on purpose. She only had a waist injury and was not in confinement. However, Zuo Hancheng noticed her and immediately put his arm around her waist to open the car door.¡±¡±Get in the car.¡± Anhao obediently got into the car, took off her coat, and looked at the slightly wet area behind her. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes could not be washed, and she wondered if dry-cleaning it later would be able to save it. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her after he got into the car. He only drove away after he saw that she was not drenched by the rain. The car was very quiet. There was a faint smell of alcohol in the warm, quiet, and clean air, but it smelled good. Anhao¡¯s nose was very sensitive. After all, Zuo Hancheng had just drunk, so she could still smell the smell of the wine. However, the atmosphere was too quiet, which was different from what she had expected. Zuo Hancheng did not ask her where she was going to get her luggage. She looked at him and said,¡±¡±You know where I¡¯m staying after I return, right?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I send you to the bank near People¡¯s Road last time?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm, and no hidden emotions could be heard. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him and took the initiative to tell him the truth.¡±It¡¯s the private estate of the Imperial Court.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± She directly told him about the matter, but he only replied with a ¡± yes.¡± As expected, he knew about it long ago. Anhao suddenly felt a little awkward and couldn¡¯t sit still. However, she couldn¡¯t do anything reckless in the car. She could only turn her face out of the car window and look out as she said,¡±When did you know where I lived?¡± ¡°The first day you returned to the country.¡± As expected! Anhao felt as if her jaw was about to fall to the ground, yet she was still acting calmly in front of him! This black-bellied man. If he had known earlier, he would not have exposed her earlier. He had to make her confess when she couldn¡¯t continue acting anymore, only then did he reply to her with a faded voice like ¡± hmm ¡°? It was clearly a silent mockery! ¡°Since you already knew, why didn¡¯t you say it earlier? Don¡¯t you feel great seeing me find all kinds of excuses to cover up this matter every day?¡±Anhao muttered unhappily. ¡°I¡¯m glad,¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be happy about?¡± ¡°After you returned to the country, you didn¡¯t force yourself to bear the expensive rent in order to completely draw a line with me. Instead, you chose to temporarily live in Luxury Court Private Park, which proves that you never really intended to draw a line with me.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± That¡¯s because I¡¯m too short of money ¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re not wicked, I don¡¯t mind if you lack anything.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at the window.¡±¡±You¡¯re the wicked one.¡± Although she was indignant, she was inexplicably excited in her heart. She felt that she had finally let go of the little things that she had hidden for so long. The car arrived at Hua Ting Private Court. Just as Anhao was about to get out of the car, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡± Deputy Director Bai from the Construction Bureau lives next door to me. He just moved in not long ago ¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°You know?¡± Anhao was surprised by his calmness again.¡±¡±You know that he lives next door to me?!¡± Zuo Hancheng had intended to drive his car inside, but the security guard at the entrance of the residential area apologized and said that the parking lot in the residential area was full. It was raining so heavily that many of the owners had already gone home. Both the aboveground and underground parking lots were full, so they could only park outside temporarily. Zuo Hancheng drove the car to the parking area outside the residential area and said,¡±¡± Wenner and she are considered old friends. It was Wenner who suggested Bai Weiwei to buy a property in Hua Ting Private Park and even recommended the apartment next to yours.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched when she heard that. Wenner? Did he think that she was too calm after returning to the country, so he had to put Bai Weiwei in front of her to provoke her? ¡°Wenner has really worried his heart out for you ¡± Anhao could not help but sigh softly. As expected, he was an expert in psychological tactics. Step by step, he broke through her psychological defenses. He was too ruthless! Zuo Hancheng stopped the car and looked at her.¡±¡±Do you want to leave immediately after picking up your luggage, or do you want to invite me up?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t been back for a few days. It was quite messy before, and no one cleaned up the house ¡± ¡°What were you like three years ago? So you think I would mind?¡± Anhao immediately fell silent. Three years ago, she was still a rebellious girl. She could eat snacks until the whole room was filled with snack bags. She had contaminated the Gilded Scenic Garden so many times that her deeds of cooking durians were about to enter the annals of history. Indeed, there was nothing to be embarrassed about in front of Zuo Hancheng. Even the underwear that she had changed out of was hanging in front of the most obvious window in the house after being washed ¡°Then I¡¯ll go up and pack my luggage.¡±Anhao pushed open the car door after saying that. However, she was a little guilty and forgot that it was still raining outside. She got out of the car and was drenched in the rain. Zuo Hancheng threw an umbrella at her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t get wet!¡± Anhao opened the umbrella and waited for him at the side until Zuo Hancheng parked the car and walked over. Seeing that her hair and body were wet again, her eyes that were filled with warmth earlier were instantly filled with displeasure.¡±Gu Anhao, how old are you? Must the waist injury be so serious that it was difficult to cure it before he stopped?¡± ¡°Ahem.¡± Anhao was a little embarrassed.¡± I forgot when I got off the car just now. I didn¡¯t have time to take an umbrella when I was drenched in the rain.¡±¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in the direction of the private garden. Anhao turned around and quickly followed him. When she reached his side, she heard Zuo Hancheng say,¡±Go up and change your clothes immediately.¡± Zuo Hancheng walked very quickly, and Anhao jogged behind him. Amidst the rain, she suddenly couldn¡¯t help but laugh.¡±Zuo Hancheng, do you feel uncomfortable every day that you don¡¯t give me a meal? No wonder the quality of sleep in the past three years was so poor. It must be because there was no one to teach him a lesson, so his entire body was itchy and uncomfortable.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her coldly.¡±¡±I think you¡¯re the one who¡¯s itching.¡± Chapter 674 - Chapter 674: Take It Off Yourself, Don’t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (2) Chapter 674: Take It Off Yourself, Don¡¯t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (2) Translator: 549690339 You¡¯re the one who¡¯s itching for a beating. You think you¡¯re an old officer, disciplining others. Anhao muttered in her heart, but she jogged all the way into the private garden with him. After entering the house, Anhao hurriedly ran to the sofa and put away the computer and thin blanket that she had thrown on the sofa. She also hurriedly put away the garbage bag that was almost full. Fortunately, she did not throw the fruit skin in before. Otherwise, after not being back for so many days and the weather was so hot, the smell of the garbage bag would not be able to be smelled. She was glad that she was not as careless as she was three years ago. She did not even bother to tidy up the house. It was just a little messy and it was not too ugly. After she hurriedly tidied up, she turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have come here for the first time after the house was bought. It was obvious that he was not particularly familiar with the decoration and environment here. Anhao folded the blanket in her hands and looked at him.¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me you didn¡¯t come at all? This is your house, after all.¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly,¡± Back then, I asked Mobai to find someone to arrange for a few properties to be bought under my name. After all the arrangements were made, I only told them to renovate them in a simple and exquisite style. At the same time, I directly transferred them to your name. I never took the time to look at these houses.¡± ¡± Luckily, Mobai understands your style. I can see that the decoration of this house is indeed very simple and exquisite. Although it doesn¡¯t look like there¡¯s much, it has everything. Moreover, I¡¯ve compared it on the Internet. The bed in the bedroom is worth more than 200,000 yuan. The other furniture is even more expensive. Therefore, although I¡¯ve lived here for some time, I haven¡¯t moved anything. I don¡¯t even dare to turn around too hard when I sleep ¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and curled his lips.¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to be so deliberate. This house is yours. Even if you break the furniture, the original furniture manufacturer will be responsible for replacing it. Besides .¡± He suddenly glanced at her and added,¡±¡±Do you really have the ability to break the bed by yourself?¡± Anhao instantly understood what he meant by ¡± learning ¡°. She rolled her eyes at him and went to the bathroom to get a towel. When she dried her hair, she realized that her clothes were already soaked. She was wearing a set of white casual clothes that Lin Qing had bought for her. After being drenched in the rain for a short while, she looked much more transparent. In the blink of an eye, Zuo Hancheng had already sat down on the sofa, seemingly planning to wait patiently for her. It was already getting late, so it did not seem to make any difference whether she stayed at his place or hers. Anhao stuck her head out of the bathroom door and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting on the sofa and flipping through a magazine on the coffee table.¡±¡±It¡¯s already 10:30 p. m. By the time I finish packing, it¡¯ll probably be past midnight. Why don¡¯t you make do here tonight? We¡¯ll go back to your place tomorrow morning.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not turn around. He only looked at her architectural design magazine and said,¡±¡±Sure. If you like it here, I don¡¯t mind having my luggage moved over tomorrow. It doesn¡¯t matter where I stay before I return to Liu Jing Garden.¡± It turned out that she was definitely going to take the sleeping pills. No matter where they lived, the two of them had to live together. Anhao secretly glared at his back.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go back to Heng Hai City tomorrow. I don¡¯t have as many things as you do. I only need one suitcase to take everything.¡± Hearing the determination in her words, Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± What else could she do? Of course, she did not want Zuo Hancheng to live next door to Bai Weiwei! She wasn¡¯t a magnanimous saint, so she had her own selfish motives. How could she give Bai Weiwei and Zuo Hancheng the chance to meet each other? Did she really think she was retarded? ¡°I was caught in the rain just now. I¡¯ll take a shower first and then go pack my luggage.¡±Anhao quickly changed the topic and closed the bathroom door after she finished speaking. However, she suspected that Zuo Hancheng had drunk too much tonight. What if he suddenly opened the door and walked in Anhao leaned against the bathroom door and said,¡±¡± I¡¯ve cleaned up the house two days ago and put it away. There¡¯s a new quilt in the bedroom. Go get it yourself.¡± It¡¯s in the bottom drawer of my bedroom cabinet.¡± There was no movement outside, but Zuo Hancheng must have heard it. Anhao listened for a while before turning around to fill the water. Outside the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng heard the sound of water coming from inside. He put down the magazine in his hand and turned to look at the bedroom that Anhao had mentioned. The master bedroom was a large double bed. Although there was no need to bring another blanket to the other bedroom, her waist injury had not recovered yet. If he forced them to sleep together, he was afraid that he would inevitably lose sleep all night. Anhao had been paying attention to the movements outside the bathroom. After a while, she heard the bedroom door being pushed open. Zuo Hancheng walked into the bedroom until the lights in the bedroom gradually lit up. Although Anhao had said that the house was messy, it was actually just a computer and a thin blanket casually placed on the sofa. It looked like someone had lived there before. As for the girl who used to take a bath carelessly, although she had not returned for so many days, the bed in the bedroom was flat and clean. It was obvious that she would tidy up the bed and the room every day before going to work. She was indeed no longer the rebellious and messy little girl from back then. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the blanket on the bed and then at the huge double bed with only one pillow. He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and took another glance before turning to the cabinet at the side and opening the long cabinet. Just as she was about to open the bottom drawer to find a set of pillows and blankets, she had yet to bend down when her gaze stopped on the light blue velvet box in the middle of the cabinet. The box was too exquisite and did not match Anhao¡¯s usual sloppy personality. Moreover, it was obvious that she had placed the box here carefully and it was especially precious. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze lingered on the box for a moment before he picked it up. The moment he opened it, he saw the set of jewelry that had been carefully kept. The entire set of jewelry was perfectly preserved. There was a sealed box at the bottom of the box. When he pulled out the box, he saw that it was the wedding ring that she still wore when she left the United States, as well as the crystal bracelet that he had bought for her. Every memory of their past was well preserved. Even when Anhao was extremely short of money, she didn¡¯t sell any of them or take a mortgage from the bank. Chapter 675 - Chapter 675: Take It Off Yourself, Don’t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (3) Chapter 675: Take It Off Yourself, Don¡¯t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng played with the wedding ring that had been polished until it was shiny before Anhao put it away. After a while, he heard the sound of water flowing in the bathroom. After taking a shower, Anhao grabbed a beige light dress from the closet in the bathroom. It was very loose, soft, and comfortable. She then walked out of the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel as she walked. Seeing that there was no sound in the bedroom, she covered her head with the towel and walked into the bedroom with a puzzled expression. The moment she pushed the door open, she saw Zuo Hancheng slowly closing the jewelry box that she had not touched for a long time. Anhao was stunned.¡± Didn¡¯t I tell you to get the blanket? Why did you ¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and calmly placed the exquisite blue box back into her cabinet.¡±¡±Have you always brought these with you?¡± Anhao paused for a moment.¡± Ah, every item is so expensive. Even if you lose me, you can¡¯t lose them. When I was in the US, this small box was always in my drawer. Others thought that I didn¡¯t have much money, but they didn¡¯t know that I actually carried a lot of money with me.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. Indeed, if she took anything here to the bank as collateral, it could at least be exchanged for a house, a car, or anything that required a large sum of money in the United States. However, she had always been safe by her side. ¡°I¡¯ll confiscate the wedding ring first.¡± Zuo Hancheng had one hand in his trouser pocket and walked over under Anhao¡¯s surprised gaze. In his other hand, he was holding the pair of ear studs that he loved the most. ¡°Why should I confiscate it?¡± Anhao felt that she probably did not understand the meaning of the word ¡± confiscated ¡°. However, Zuo Hancheng was smiling and his gaze was unfathomable, making her unable to understand. When he walked in front of her, he pulled down the towel covering her head. Anhao was shocked and quickly raised her hand to cover her head.¡±What are you doing? My hair isn¡¯t dry yet.¡± In the next moment, Zuo Hancheng had already raised his hand, and the small and exquisite but extremely expensive earrings were put on by him. Anhao raised her hand and touched her ear.¡±¡±Why do you suddenly want me to wear this ¡± She had not touched these things for more than three years. They had always been in the box. Before this, she did not even dare to open them to take a look. After Zuo Hancheng put on the other ear stud for her, he stroked her head and said,¡±¡±Go dry your hair and keep dripping water. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Anhao quickly picked up the towel that he had just thrown aside, turned around, and walked out quickly. While drying her hair, she looked back from time to time, and at the same time, raised her hand to touch the earring on her ear. Was she planning to publicize her name as Mrs. Zuo to the world again? Although this pair of earrings looked the smallest and most low-key in the set of jewelry, she felt like she was showing off her wealth as soon as she put it on. For a pitiful child like her, who had been bullied since she was young, money was a burden! After she dried her hair, she rubbed her damp hair and walked back to the bedroom. When she saw Zuo Hancheng looking at her wardrobe, she suddenly remembered that her underwear was also in the wardrobe. She quickly walked over and jumped in front of him to block the wardrobe. At the same time, he looked down at the drawer behind him. Fortunately, he did not open the top drawer. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw her actions. He looked at her with a faint smile and said,¡±¡±What did you think I was looking at?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care what you¡¯re looking at. No matter what, I¡¯ve been living alone for the past three years, so there must be some secrets that belong to me.¡±As she spoke, she moved closer to the cabinet.¡±I¡¯ll help you get the blanket.¡± Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and suddenly reached out to pull her over. Anhao staggered and almost fell into his arms. She quickly raised her hand to touch her waist to remind him not to do anything rash. In the end, Zuo Hancheng dragged her over and walked past her, reaching out to pick up a few photo frames from her cabinet. Anhao was stunned and turned to look at the photo frame in his hand. It was a photo of her going on an outing with her roommates during her three years in the United States. There were also a few male classmates who were on good terms with her. Although Anhao was not as rebellious as before, she was still a little boyish, so she often treated those male classmates who only had friendship and no other ambiguous feelings for her as brothers. There were two photos of her sitting and eating with a male classmate who were very intimate and were photographed by others. When her roommate printed the photos, she felt that it was very fun and helped her print them out. She couldn¡¯t just throw away the photos, so Anhao found a random photo frame and put it away She did not expect Zuo Hancheng to see her eating intimately with another boy and then framing her in a photo frame It did seem very, very inappropriate. Anhao stretched out her hand to snatch it back.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng only raised his arm slightly due to his height advantage. Anhao could not grab it and could only reach out to grab his arm.¡±That¡¯s just a male classmate who I have a very good relationship with. It¡¯s a pure friendship, a pure friendship without any impurities. My roommate printed the photo for me, so I put it away. I don¡¯t have any other intentions. Give it back to me Don¡¯t look at the waves Zuo Hancheng looked through all the photos in the photo frames, but there was no change in his expression. He only returned two of the photos of her and her roommate to her. At the same time, he threw the photo frame with her and the male classmate into the trash bin by the door. Seeing his actions, Anhao said in disbelief,¡±¡± Why did you throw it away? I already said that it was just a male classmate that you had a good relationship with. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re too overbearing ¡± When she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, Anhao suddenly stopped talking. She thought for a moment and looked at the paper basket again.¡±I thought we were divorced. I just made a few good male friends in America, and there¡¯s nothing ambiguous about it. Even if I really had a boyfriend, it wouldn¡¯t be strange. After all, you were the one who tampered with the divorce agreement.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze immediately shifted to her.¡±¡±Married girl?¡± The corner of her mouth twitched. Zuo Hancheng snorted and raised his hand to rub her slightly damp hair.¡±¡±Help me get the blanket, young lady.¡± After saying that, he turned around and walked out, as if he had no intention of continuing to stand beside her cabinet and pry into her little secrets for the past three years. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she heard Zuo Hancheng say ¡± young lady.¡± After standing there for a while, she turned around and opened the bottom drawer to take out the blanket. Chapter 676 - Chapter 676: Take It Off Yourself, Don’t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (4) Chapter 676: Take It Off Yourself, Don¡¯t Wait for Me to Tear It Off (4) Translator: 549690339 After ¡± serving ¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s old man, Anhao saw that he was obviously very satisfied with her new blanket. She turned around and dashed out of his bedroom. Anhao went back to her bedroom to pack her luggage. While she was packing, she kept an eye on Bai Weiwei¡¯s house from time to time. However, the soundproofing of the house was so good that she couldn¡¯t hear anything. She wondered if Bai Weiwei had officially moved in. After putting away some of the clothes she often wore, Anhao turned to look at the exquisite blue box in the cabinet. She got up to take it and opened it. She realized that the ring was really missing. Zuo Hancheng confiscated the wedding ring that he had given her. What did he mean by that? Anhao couldn¡¯t figure it out even after a long time. However, because she had promised Zi Ran that she would go to the F department tomorrow, Anhao took out a set of clothes that looked especially pleasing to the eye. She took a look at the things in the jewelry box and only took a small and cute diamond brooch that she loved dearly and pinned it on her clothes. Xiao Qiu really needed to be taught a lesson. A vain person had to find a way to control her. Anhao couldn¡¯t say that she didn¡¯t have any vanity at all, but her vanity had to be matched with someone else. She really didn¡¯t even want to compare herself to someone like Xiao Qiu. After all, Xiao Qiu was just a small character in her eyes. She couldn¡¯t even be considered a match for her. However, in the face of Zi Ran¡¯s strong request, she could not let Zi Ran down too much, right? After Anhao got up and tidied up her other things, it was already 12:30 pm. She took her suitcase out of the bedroom and placed it in front of the door. She was going to take it down and put it in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car the next morning. When she turned around, she looked at the bedroom that Zuo Hancheng was in. It was rare for Zuo Hancheng to not take a shower before going to bed. He must have been too tired after a busy day and having a discussion with people over drinks at Wenner¡¯s new shop. After Anhao turned off the lights in the living room, she wanted to go back to the bedroom to sleep, but for some reason, she walked towards Zuo Hancheng¡¯s bedroom. When she reached the door, she gently pushed it open and looked inside. There was only a dim yellow wall lamp in the room. Everything was quiet. Zuo Hancheng was lying quietly on the bed, probably asleep. However, seeing that he was not covered with a blanket, Anhao instinctively walked over and gently picked up the thin blanket by the bed. Under the dim light, she realized that Zuo Hancheng had not taken off his clothes and was actually sleeping like this. He was only wearing his jacket, which he had thrown in the car earlier. His shirt and pants were still there. Just how tired was he? He didn¡¯t even take off his clothes. He couldn¡¯t be guarding against her sudden outburst of her wolf nature and retaliating against him, right? Hehe Anhao carefully covered him with the blanket and raised her hand to turn off the only wall lamp in the room. He had been suffering from insomnia for the past few years, and it was not easy for him to get a good sleep. It was better to turn off all the lights. As soon as the lights were turned off and she was about to turn around to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, she walked back to the bed. Suddenly, her wrist was tightened. She was so shocked that before she could come back to her senses, she was already pressed against the bed by Zuo Hancheng, who had woken up at some point in time. Or perhaps, he hadn¡¯t slept at all. In the darkness, the surprise in Anhao¡¯s eyes had yet to subside. She could only feel Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze when he pinned her down on the bed and looked at her in the darkness. It was deep and dark, with countless storms and desires hidden under the dark night. An Hao moved a little uncomfortably under him. She knew that she was playing with fire by moving around under him, but really Her waist wasn¡¯t very comfortable. ¡°Waist ¡± Anhao whispered. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand caressed her waist, but he did not intend to let go of her. He remained above her and looked down at her.¡±Do you know how much restraint I used to not sleep in your room?¡± ¡± ¡°Anhao¡¯s hair instantly turned numb. He was clearly implying that she was courting death to challenge his self-control. ¡°After I turned off the lights just now, I saw that there was still light on your side, so I came over to help you turn off the lights. In the end, I saw that you didn¡¯t cover yourself with the blanket, so I helped you cover yourself with the blanket. I didn¡¯t do anything else ¡± However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned over to prevent her waist from being injured. Anhao was on top of him, but when she wanted to stand up, his hand was firmly on her shoulder. After struggling twice, Anhao simply lay on top of him without moving. She closed her eyes and said,¡±¡±My back hurts. It hurts even if I move. I can¡¯t win against you.¡± Since she had a waist injury, if Zuo Hancheng really had a beast nature, he would not have waited until now. As expected, after Anhao obediently lay on his body and stopped moving, Zuo Hancheng did not force her to stay down anymore. He only patted her back gently and said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±Isn¡¯t it better to be so obedient earlier?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes in the dark and said,¡±¡±My back hurts.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± replied Zuo Hancheng. ¡°My waist hurts ¡± Anhao continued to emphasize. ¡± I know.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, my back hurts.¡± Anhao continued to emphasize this important matter. Zuo Hancheng sighed softly and suddenly turned to let her lie down beside him. He simply hugged her and said,¡±¡±I won¡¯t touch you. Go to sleep.¡± After making sure that he was only using her as a sleeping pill and that he did not really want to touch her or even force himself on her, Anhao simply lay down beside him and did not think about going back to her bedroom. She quietly opened her eyes in the darkness and looked at Zuo Hancheng beside her. His silhouette in the dark night looked especially quiet. Just as she adjusted her position to make herself more comfortable beside him, the arm on her waist suddenly pulled her back. Anhao immediately started to whisper,¡±¡±Waist, waist, waist ¡± However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly pressed her down again. Anhao instantly pursed her lips and looked at him in shock. ¡°If you keep moving, do you believe that I¡¯d rather cripple your waist than let you get away with it so easily?¡±Zuo Hancheng gritted his teeth and warned her in a low voice. Anhao let out a low moan and said unhappily,¡±¡±If my waist is really crippled, won¡¯t I be paralyzed in bed in the future?¡± ¡°Treat him if he¡¯s crippled.¡± ¡°Then even if I¡¯m cured, I won¡¯t be able to withstand your torment, okay?¡± ¡°Cripple it before treating it!¡± ¡°What? Then let¡¯s wait until my waist injury is completely healed. I won¡¯t move around anymore, okay?¡± ¡°If you dare to move again, take off your clothes yourself. Don¡¯t wait for me to tear them off.¡± ¡± Alright.¡± Chapter 677 - Chapter 677: Extraordinary Combat Strength (1) Chapter 677: Extraordinary Combat Strength (1) Translator: 549690339 The next morning, Anhao yawned continuously as she followed Zuo Hancheng out the door. Zuo Hancheng was holding her luggage while Anhao followed behind him to lock the door. She closed her eyes from time to time to rest. For the entire night yesterday, Anhao had been lying next to Zuo Hancheng like a wax statue. Even her breathing frequency had been carefully controlled. Zuo Hancheng slept well while hugging his sleeping pills. As for her! I can¡¯t sleep! The door next door was suddenly opened. The moment Anhao turned her head and saw Bai Weiwei, all the sleeping bugs in her head instantly ran away. However, Bai Weiwei did not seem to expect it when she saw Anhao. When she saw Zuo Hancheng, her eyes were even more surprised. ¡°Han City?¡± She walked out of the elevator. Zuo Hancheng was already waiting in front of the elevator. When he heard Bai Weiwei¡¯s voice, he turned to look at her. However, that glance was as calm and distant as usual, and it contained a hint of politeness and eternal alienation.¡±Morning.¡± Seeing his natural response, Bai Weiwei could not help but look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body. She noticed that there were some wrinkles on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes, which were usually neat and tidy. It seemed that he was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. Then, he turned around and saw Anhao pulling the key out of the door. Seeing that she looked tired and did not sleep well, he immediately looked at Zuo Hancheng awkwardly as if he had understood something.¡±Morning ¡± As expected of a lady from a noble family, she didn¡¯t immediately reveal a particularly unpresentable face when she saw her sweetheart doing this kind of thing with another woman. Then, she even pulled out a faint smile.¡± I knew that Miss Gu looked familiar. Every time I think about it, I wonder if I¡¯ve seen you somewhere before. Now that I think about it, I think I¡¯ve seen your photo somewhere, but I can¡¯t remember it clearly. But you and Hancheng .¡± ¡°I accidentally got injured and need to go out to recuperate. President Zuo, help me carry my luggage.¡±Anhao said calmly, but she didn¡¯t go into detail. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her because of her calm tone.¡±¡±If I knew that you were going to take these insignificant things, I would have sent you back to Eternal Sea City yesterday and let Mobai take the things here.¡± Anhao paused and turned to look at him. At this moment, the elevator had already stopped on this floor. Zuo Hancheng turned and smiled politely at Bai Weiwei before walking in. Originally, Anhao had wanted to give Bai Weiwei some face because of her relationship with the left side of the city. Even though she was not familiar with Bai Weiwei, she knew the status of the Bai family, so she had to give the Bai family some face. However, since Zuo Hancheng had made it clear, she would not say anything more. She only smiled politely at Bai Weiwei and walked into the elevator. Bai Weiwei stood there silently for a few seconds. Before the elevator door closed, she suddenly walked over and said,¡±¡±Hancheng, the Construction Bureau and the government are going to hold a small celebration party for Miss Gu¡¯s design department in two days.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Zuo Hancheng rarely participated in these public events, unless the organizers had a good relationship with him or Zuo Hancheng was willing to give them face. However, this was only a small celebration party. It was only nominally attended by the government and the Construction Bureau. In fact, it was to give face to Shengling Group. Logically speaking, Zuo Hancheng should not have been willing to attend such a small event, but he was very sure that he would go. Bai Weiwei pressed the elevator button to stop the door from closing. At this time, she acted as if she did not see Anhao who was beside Zuo Hancheng. She smiled and said,¡±¡± Since you¡¯re going to the celebration party, our chief was planning to arrange a dinner for you this weekend. He wanted me to arrange a time with you, but you¡¯ve been too busy these few days, so I couldn¡¯t find you. Since we¡¯ve met, I¡¯ll tell you directly. On Sunday night, our chief and the political department will jointly arrange a dinner party.¡± Bai Weiwei raised her eyebrows at Zuo Hancheng as she spoke. It seemed that the Construction Bureau had pressured her to invite Zuo Hancheng. If Zuo Hancheng did not give her face, this matter would not be justified. This attitude of his seemed to be very familiar. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the number on the elevator and said calmly,¡±¡±Sunday? If Anhao¡¯s waist injury from that day has almost recovered, I¡¯d be happy to go.¡± Bai Weiwei and Anhao were stunned at the same time. Bai Weiwei suppressed her surprise and asked,¡±¡±Miss Gu, are you coming too?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. Anhao looked at Bai Weiwei¡¯s calm and smiling face and did not say anything. When Bai Weiwei looked at her, she smiled at Bai Weiwei. ¡°Then, I hope Miss Gu will recover soon so that she can come to the dinner with Hancheng this weekend.¡±Bai Weiwei smiled again and released the button outside the elevator. ¡°Thank you. I will try my best to recuperate and not drag everyone down.¡±Anhao replied with a smile. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng pressed the button to close the elevator door, and the elevator door slowly closed. Bai Weiwei smiled politely as she watched them. It was not until the door was completely closed that Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face.¡±Who said I was going to the dinner with you?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you planning to get rid of these covetous women around me? Why? The Construction Bureau specially sent Bai Weiwei to invite me. Can¡¯t you tell what this means?¡± ¡± How can I not see it?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but mutter, then looked at his calm attitude.¡±¡±Did Wenner say something to you? Why can¡¯t I hide anything from you?¡± Zuo Hancheng automatically filtered out her question and looked down at her.¡±¡±So you¡¯re assured that I¡¯ll attend the dinner arranged by the Construction Bureau alone?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± I haven¡¯t attended so many social events with you for so many years. There are also many women around you, okay?¡±¡± ¡°Before you came back, they could still try to infiltrate slowly. If you suddenly came back, it¡¯s hard to guarantee that these women who were eyeing me covetously would not use any extraordinary methods.¡± ¡°You make it sound like I¡¯m going to protect you ¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. Zuo Hancheng immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at her.¡±¡±Not willing?¡± ¡°Same old rules. I¡¯ll accompany you for a day, and it¡¯ll be calculated according to Lin Qing¡¯s or Mobai¡¯s salary, and it¡¯s double.¡±Anhao raised her hand and raised two fingers. ¡°Sure.¡± Anhao smiled triumphantly. If she stayed by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for another month, she would have at least another fifty to sixty thousand yuan in her card. After all, this was money that she had ¡°sacrificed her own labor force¡± in exchange for. It was not considered as outright robbery. In any case, she did not feel guilty at all about earning this money Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: Extraordinary Combat Strength (2) Chapter 678: Extraordinary Combat Strength (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng saw Anhao¡¯s expression of satisfaction.¡±¡±Is the double salary more attractive to you, or is the thrill of fighting against the enemy more attractive to you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even know who the women who are eyeing you covetously are. How can I fight against so many enemies?¡±Anhao glanced at him sarcastically.¡±¡±If it¡¯s all Bai Weiwei, it¡¯s fine if it¡¯s just one person, but if everyone has such a family background, even my brains won¡¯t be enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng scoffed.¡± The An family¡¯s background isn¡¯t small either.¡±¡± When Anhao heard him mention the Andersons, she recalled the information she had read about her family background in the documents he had given her. She immediately walked out quickly when the elevator stopped on the first floor. No matter how high the An family¡¯s status in the United States was, it seemed to have nothing to do with her. Half an hour later, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s SUV passed by Zheng F Square. Before Anhao got out of the car, she said,¡±¡±Put the suitcase in your car first. I¡¯ll go to the office to take a look. After all, I didn¡¯t participate in the rest of the work after the design drafts were approved by you. I¡¯m still paid as the head of the design department. I have to go and look at the mock-ups of the final stage and some detailed changes to the plan that need my signature.¡± ¡°Pay attention to your waist injury.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not stop her from wanting to come back to work. Of course, he also knew that Anhao was never the kind of girl who could stay at home and eat and sleep all day. Of course, if he allowed her to play games at home all day, perhaps Anhao could regress to the state she was in three years ago and eat and drink every day. Unfortunately, she was no longer the rebellious little girl from three years ago. ¡°I know. I¡¯ll take a taxi back later and avoid the rush hour. You don¡¯t have to send someone to pick me up.¡±Anhao tidied up her bag and asked,¡±¡±I can also ask you this. Are you sure you don¡¯t need to see the design drawings anymore? If he was not satisfied with anything in the future, it would be troublesome to modify it from the simulated three-dimensional map.¡± ¡°No need. I don¡¯t believe in other people¡¯s work efficiency, but I can still believe in yours.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the chiffon short-sleeved shirt and the three-inch skinny jeans that she had changed into today. He then glanced at the brooch that she had specially pinned on last night and said in a good mood,¡±¡±You have good taste. You¡¯re very beautiful.¡± Did she mean that she was wearing her favorite earrings and brooch today? This kind of simple and unassuming but exquisite combination was very beautiful? Anhao was stunned for a moment. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car had already left. Anhao stood rooted to the ground and looked at the brooch on her clothes again. She remembered that she had come here today to support Zi Ran. She could not help but laugh as she watched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car drive away. When she turned around, she suddenly saw Minister Qin¡¯s car parked nearby. She did not know how long Minister Qin had been out of the car, but he was looking in her direction and laughing happily. The smile on Anhao¡¯s face instantly disappeared. She walked over and greeted him lightly,¡±¡±Minister Qin.¡± In the end, Minister Qin smiled at her and said softly,¡±¡±Anhao, I can¡¯t take it if you¡¯re so polite. If I had known that you¡¯re Mr. Zuo¡¯s wife and that Mr. Zuo only asked you to hide your identity and come out to train, I wouldn¡¯t have given you so much troublesome work every day. Fortunately, it¡¯s not too late to know now. Why did you suddenly come to work?¡± Sure enough, Minister Qin found out. The last time Mobai had asked him to look at the news from three years ago, someone as sensitive as Minister Qin had instantly discovered the mystery behind it. Anhao was not in a position to explain the reason behind it, so she could only smile.¡±¡± Minister Qin, you¡¯re being too serious. Actually, the relationship between President Zuo and I is not what you think it is. It¡¯s just that Assistant Mo and I are old friends, so I just casually said a few words to you. Don¡¯t think too much about it. I really came to work in the political department purely to work. It has nothing to do with Shengling Group. If you can really treat my hard work as a kind of training for me, that would be the best ¡± ¡± How could that be? Assistant Mo is CEO Zuo¡¯s favorite. In a few years, Assistant Mo will be the vice president of Shengling Group. By then, he will be CEO Zuo¡¯s right-hand man. He never speaks casually. The few words that he specially mentioned to me are 100% true. So, Anhao, seeing that I have always been following CEO Zuo around and have never offended him, please don¡¯t hold it against me ¡± ¡°Why should I? Are you angry that Minister Qin is trying to give me to Zuo Hancheng?¡±Anhao said half-jokingly and walked straight into the main door of the political department. Since her identity was already here, there was no need for Minister Qin to show her any mercy. Minister Qin immediately looked at Anhao¡¯s back with an awkward expression as if he had just eaten a yellow lotus ¡°Ahhhhh, Sister Anhao, you¡¯re finally here!¡± As soon as Anhao walked into the office, Zi Ran, who was checking the simulation manuscript with other colleagues, looked up and saw her. She immediately put down the manuscript in her hand and rushed over excitedly. When she ran to Anhao and hugged her, she saw the brooch on her chest because she was five centimeters shorter than Anhao. Zi Ran was not a child from an ordinary family. She recognized the origin of her brooch and the name of the set, including the price, at a glance. Hence, she froze in her tracks as she was about to hug her. She looked at Anhao¡¯s raised eyebrows and then at Anhao¡¯s brooch. In the end, his gaze landed on Anhao¡¯s ear stud She knew that someone like Anhao, who could freely enter and leave a place like Luxury Court, was definitely not an ordinary person! The world-famous pet of the heart! A pair of ear studs was worth millions, and the price of the ear studs was one of the lowest in the price list. If one didn¡¯t know what was good, they wouldn¡¯t be able to tell that this pair of ear studs was worth millions. Not to mention that it was her ! ¡°Sister Anhao!¡± Zi Ran hugged her with a worshipping expression and whispered,¡±¡±Are you a fairy who knows magic? This has simply gone from being stunning to being shocked. Oh my god .¡± Anhao patted her on the shoulder.¡± Don¡¯t hold me so tightly. My waist injury hasn¡¯t recovered yet. I can¡¯t stand your strength.¡±¡± ¡°Oh, oh!¡± Zi Ran quickly took a step back to make way for Anhao, but she carefully reached out to touch Anhao¡¯s brooch. Others might think that Zi Ran was joking and touching Anhao¡¯s brooch, but in fact, she was worshipping Anhao¡¯s beloved that she could only see in magazines! Of course, the others in the office didn¡¯t know what was good, but it was rare to see Anhao dressed a little better than usual, and there were two more accessories on her that didn¡¯t look too eye-catching. Chapter 679 - Chapter 679: Extraordinary Combat Strength (3) Chapter 679: Extraordinary Combat Strength (3) Translator: 549690339 For a moment, a few female colleagues whispered,¡±Do you think Zi Ran tipped Gu Anhao off that Xiao Qiu had found a rich man to show off all kinds of new jewelry every day, so Gu Anhao couldn¡¯t help but want to show off her jewelry? How could these two things compare to Qiu¡¯s branded bags and jewelry? It was too low of him to want to fight with the arrogant Xiao Qiu!¡± ¡°I think so. Didn¡¯t you see Zi Ran¡¯s excited expression when she pounced in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction just now? Zi Ran had no one to rely on these past few days when Gu Anhao didn¡¯t come. She didn¡¯t even speak a few words every day. Now that Gu Anhao is here, she became lively in an instant ¡± Although the whispers were not loud, Anhao could still hear quite a few words clearly. She could not help but look at Zi Ran.¡±Don¡¯t you usually have a good relationship with everyone? How did this happen?¡± Zi Ran immediately pouted unhappily. As she followed Anhao to her office, she muttered softly,¡±It¡¯s all because of Qiu. Doesn¡¯t she always say that I¡¯m hugging your thigh? They even said that I drove a broken BMW and often passed by your house to pick you up to work. They said that I was a rich second-generation heir who fawned over you all day long. At first, everyone didn¡¯t reject me because they thought I was rich. In the end, they realized that every time we had a meal together, I never took the initiative to invite them to dinner. Therefore, gradually, these people began to hate me ¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± I know you¡¯re a rich second generation heir, but you don¡¯t usually treat them to meals. Is that why they hate you?¡±¡± Zi Ran shrugged her shoulders.¡± Something like that. I don¡¯t understand what these people are thinking either. Maybe they think that my family is rich, so it¡¯s only right for them to take money to treat people to meals and support the place all day long. If I don¡¯t treat everyone, it¡¯s because I¡¯m stingy. But who are they? Why should I invite them? My heart will ache if I spend any more money on these people, okay? My parents ¡®money isn¡¯t used to treat scum to good food!¡± Anhao smiled and sat behind her desk.¡±¡±Congratulations, your values are normal. There¡¯s indeed no need to treat these people who want to take advantage of you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Zi Ran said as she thought of something.¡±Oh right, I sent the model to your computer on Friday. Remember to take a look.¡± Anhao had already turned on her computer. While waiting for the computer to turn on, she turned to look at Zi Ran.¡±The design drafts have been approved. If you don¡¯t need them anymore, the people in the office can leave. So, you don¡¯t have to endure it for long. When the time comes, just wait patiently for the final payment to be issued.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter when we leave, but that Qiu is too arrogant.¡±Zi Ran said angrily,¡±A few days ago, I saw her trying to curry favor with Minister Qin. I don¡¯t know if Minister Qin scolded her or what, but Qiu didn¡¯t go to him again. In less than two days, Qiu hooked up with a super rich man in his forties. He seemed to be the vice president of a hotel. That man doted on her and bought her everything. I heard that in just a few days, he bought her a small apartment in the city and showed it off in the office all day long. He suddenly treated everyone to a meal, so .¡± Zi Ran suddenly snorted and laughed.¡± You can also imagine why everyone suddenly has such a strong opinion of the two of us. She had just been kept by a man and she already thought of treating everyone to a meal. As for the two of us Tsk tsk ¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything after she heard that. She turned to look at the computer that was already turned on and reached out to press a few keys on the keyboard. She looked at the simulation on the screen and said calmly,¡±¡±Different paths lead to different plans. It¡¯s not a loss to not be friends with such people. Instead, it will allow one to grow a lot.¡± ¡°But they¡¯re all on good terms with Qiu now. They keep praising her for her beautiful clothes and jewelry. The more they praise her, the more she likes to buy things. Last week, she bought a lot of chocolates to share with everyone. Then she bought fruits, but they were all delivered by the chauffeur of the man who kept her. All of a sudden, she¡¯s showing off like a rich lady surrounded by people. God, I can¡¯t stand it anymore ¡± ¡°Have you eaten the fruits and chocolate?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t eat.¡± Zi Ran rolled her eyes.¡± I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s poisonous, so I threw the trash and stabbed it.¡±¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Anhao chuckled. In any case, he just wanted to show off his popularity, so he could give him some face and pretend. At least he wouldn¡¯t be ostracized by everyone now. Why did he have to put himself in such an awkward position?¡± Zi Ran chuckled.¡± I don¡¯t care if they ostracize me. Anyway, Xiao Qiu has been waiting for you to come back to work these days. She obviously wants to show you her power. That¡¯s why I called you and told you not to be outdone by her. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t feel bad at first, but if you¡¯re outdone by her, I¡¯ll definitely be annoyed to death!¡± Anhao smiled as she held her chin and looked at the picture on the screen.¡±¡±Don¡¯t worry, I know what to do.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, who gave you the love of your life? I heard that this set of jewelry is limited to only one set in the world, and this entire set was sold all over the world. Later on, some mysterious person bought it all. No matter how rich others are, they can¡¯t buy it. But how come you have two!¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and didn¡¯t answer. She just looked at the picture on the computer screen and said,¡±¡±Qiu did the second floor of the simulation?¡± ¡± Yes, I think there¡¯s something wrong with what she did, too. But a few days ago, when I pointed out the problem, Qiu said that I was abusing my power. She said that you weren¡¯t in the office right now, and that no one was backing me up. She even stood up and pretended to be Gu Anhao¡¯s lackey. Everyone could see whether there was a problem or not, so I didn¡¯t have to spout nonsense. So, the other colleagues in the office stood up for her. They all said that there was no problem. They said that I had a problem with my judgment, and that I had no right to interfere in such matters.¡± It seemed that Zi Ran was indeed angered by those weird colleagues when he was not back to work for the past few days. No wonder she was so angry when she called him earlier. ¡°I got it. I¡¯ll check them one by one first. I¡¯ll summarize the problems later.¡±Anhao said as she took the mouse and started to operate on the computer. Zi Ran did not say anything else. She only glanced outside and turned around to leave. ¡± Oh right, it¡¯s almost ten o¡¯clock now.¡± Anhao suddenly called out to her.¡± Has Ziran been late every day when I¡¯m not at work?¡±¡± Zi Ran turned around and said,¡± Yes, I¡¯m late every day, but everyone in the office is tight-lipped. I didn¡¯t want to mention this small matter at first, lest you think that I¡¯m really complaining ¡± Looking at her aggrieved face, Anhao smiled.¡±¡±Got it.¡± Chapter 680 - Chapter 680: Extraordinary Combat Strength (4) Chapter 680: Extraordinary Combat Strength (4) Translator: 549690339 At ten o¡¯clock, a certain sugar daddy finally arrived at the office. Everyone in the office was whispering about Gu Anhao¡¯s return to work that day until Xiao Qiu arrived in a limited edition pink Chanel suit. When she entered the office, everyone fell silent. Only a female colleague beside Xiao Qiu suddenly reached out and gently tugged at her bag. ¡°Gu Anhao is here. Be careful.¡±The female colleague reminded her. When Xiao Qiu heard that Gu Anhao had arrived, she didn¡¯t feel the nervousness in everyone¡¯s eyes. Instead, she looked into the office with a happy expression. As expected, Gu Anhao was sitting in the design department¡¯s director¡¯s seat, checking the simulation on the computer with a serious expression. She laughed.¡± So be it. Didn¡¯t Minister Qin say that she had a minor accident and took sick leave to recuperate in the hospital? It seems that she has recovered.¡±¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you see that Gu Anhao specially dressed up today? She usually did not wear jewelry, but today, she actually wore earrings He was wearing other clothes besides his work suit. It was obvious that he heard the news before he came back to work and specially came back to compare with you.¡± The female colleague¡¯s low voice made Xiao Qiu sneer and glance into the office. Not afraid that Anhao would hear her, she raised her voice and said,¡±So what? She¡¯s a person with no status and status who only managed to sit on the position of our design department¡¯s director by sleeping with the leader. What else does she have other than some seductive methods?¡± ¡°I was wondering why Minister Qin was getting more and more biased towards her. It seems that she didn¡¯t come to work these past few days because she used the excuse of resting to go back and cultivate some kind of charm, right? Do you think you¡¯re so beautiful just because you¡¯ve served the leader so well that the leader casually found a jewelry store to buy jewelry that cost a few thousand yuan to tease you?¡± As she spoke, Xiao Qiu placed the new handbag that was worth more than 100,000 yuan on her desk and glanced at Zi Ran again.¡±There are also some people who are always hugging someone¡¯s thigh. Why don¡¯t you open your eyes and take a good look at what kind of person you¡¯re hugging? You¡¯re a rich second-generation heir, after all, yet you¡¯re hugging a poor b tch like Gu Anhao. Are you blind or do you think that the position of the design department director can really cover you?¡± Zi Ran acted as if she hadn¡¯t heard him. She continued to tidy up the things on her computer, completely ignoring Xiao Qiu¡¯s ¡°show¡±. Realizing that she was being ignored by Zi Ran, Xiao Qiu couldn¡¯t be bothered to compare herself with a rich second-generation heir who had seen the world. She didn¡¯t want to be at a disadvantage, so she pointed the blame in Anhao¡¯s direction again. In the blink of an eye, she realized that Gu Anhao¡¯s gaze had already left the computer screen. She was sitting behind the desk in the office, looking at her calmly through the glass in the office. Xiao Qiu met Anhao¡¯s cold and calm gaze and walked over with a cold smile. When she reached the office, she met Anhao¡¯s gaze and asked,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, where¡¯s your Givenchy?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.¡±Would you wear the same set of clothes to work every day? My clothes are not newly bought and need to be shown to others every day, nor are they rented. Of course, I don¡¯t need to wear them every day to show off. I will only wear them on appropriate occasions. If I just come to work and sit in the office, I have to wear a suit that doesn¡¯t even allow me to sit freely. Isn¡¯t that a little too pretentious?¡± ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re just a Givenvenchy, so you shouldn¡¯t be willing to wear it. You can only wear it on formal occasions.¡±Xiao Qiu stood in front of the door, looking at her with her arms crossed.¡±Gu Anhao, didn¡¯t you mock me for imitating you? If you have the ability, you should copy the clothes on the body of the ship, as well as my jewelry and my bag. I think you won¡¯t be able to buy these things even if you get the rest of the money from the project.¡± Anhao curled her lips.¡± If you want to say something, laugh at the poor, but not at the prostitutes. There are so many colleagues in the office who have to sell everything to get the chance to study abroad. I didn¡¯t laugh at them. Of course, I won¡¯t laugh at you for selling your body in exchange for the life of a socialite. So you don¡¯t have to deliberately explain so much in front of me. I¡¯m not laughing at you at all.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was not low, so everyone else in the office could hear her clearly. A few colleagues who did come from average families were focused on their work on the computer, no longer deliberately listening to the voice coming from the office. On the one hand, Gu Anhao meant to remind those colleagues who had nothing to do with Xiao Qiu not to think that they could get any benefits just because they had a good relationship with Xiao Qiu. Their parents did not put in effort to train them into talents in society so that they could go around sucking up to rich people and cozying up to them. They were different from Zi Ran. Zi Ran¡¯s family background was better than everyone else¡¯s. Therefore, Zi Ran¡¯s cozying up to them was actually a sour word from everyone and could not be taken seriously. However, if this was said to others, everyone would carefully think about their own situation. ¡± What mockery?!¡± Xiao Qiu was furious.¡± Gu Anhao, stop pretending. Don¡¯t think that you can just talk your way out of this. In this world, money is everything. Do you believe that I¡¯ll ask my husband to help me snatch the position of the head of the design department and let you work under me?¡±¡± ¡°Your husband?¡± Anhao immediately asked with an exaggerated look of surprise,¡±¡±When are you going to get married? So fast? I only haven¡¯t come to work for half a month and you¡¯re already married? Why didn¡¯t I see the two wedding candies?!¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face turned red as she glared at her.¡±¡±Gu Anhao, stop changing the topic!¡± ¡°You were the one who started the conversation. Did I change the topic?¡±Anhao smiled and asked,¡±Could this so-called husband of yours be the man who spent money on you recently?¡± He bought you bags, clothes, jewelry, and a house, but is he married to you? Oh, right, I heard that she plans to marry you in a flash, but it¡¯s only a verbal plan, right? A man in his forties should have long known how to get rid of a child! Are you preparing to be a stepmother or do you want to be an underground lover and enjoy a life of money and men to fill the void?¡± ¡°You ¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face instantly turned green.¡± If you¡¯re jealous, just say it. You don¡¯t have to bring this up with me. We¡¯re only in the dating phase, and she already dotes on me so much. Once we get married, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even have the chance to carry my shoes for me!¡±¡± ¡± Oh, if you don¡¯t get married, then what kind of husband are you calling a man?¡±Anhao glanced at her indifferently.¡± I thought you were married. You gave me a fright. I was just about to look in my drawer to see if there were any wedding candies left behind. It¡¯s so hot that the wedding candies might melt and ruin the documents in my drawer.¡±¡± Anhao said as she looked at the drawer, then looked up at the fire in Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes.¡± Then come and show off your ¡®hubby¡¯ in front of me when you guys get married. You¡¯ll call an old man your hubby after you¡¯ve slept with him for half a month. Tsk, the world is really getting worse by the day ¡° Chapter 681 - Chapter 681: The Secret in the Drawer (1) Chapter 681: The Secret in the Drawer (1) Translator: 549690339 Xiao Qiu¡¯s face turned red and white at Anhao¡¯s sarcasm. She had clearly planned to see the unwillingness and jealousy in Anhao¡¯s eyes, but there was no envy or jealousy in her eyes. Instead, she was so calm that it was as if the things she had on her were nothing to her. Xiao Qiu took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, if you have the ability, come to the celebration party too. I heard that Minister Qin will also bring his wife and child to attend that day. Why don¡¯t we confront Minister Qin in front of him and see if you climbed into his bed in exchange for the position of the head of the design department?¡± Ann laughed.¡± It seems like you¡¯re well-informed. You even know whether Minister Qin¡¯s wife and child will go or not. Whether I will go or not is entirely up to me. I don¡¯t think I should be coerced by you. Who are you to stand here and threaten me?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t dare to go, it proves that you¡¯re guilty!¡±Xiao Qiu raised her chin. Anhao snorted.¡± I didn¡¯t become someone else¡¯s mistress, and I didn¡¯t secretly hook up with some old man to exchange for all kinds of beautiful clothes, jewelry, and expensive bags. Why would I feel guilty?¡± Some people have a dark heart and like to say that white is black. They like to use your own dark thoughts to judge others. That¡¯s your own business. Why do you have to bring me along?¡± Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t explain why she was targeting the mistress. She only said loudly,¡±Anyway, if you don¡¯t show up on the day of the celebration party, it means that you¡¯re feeling guilty. Gu Anhao, don¡¯t think that we can¡¯t tell that Minister Qin has been taking special care of you in the past, especially recently! You clearly didn¡¯t come to work, but he almost praised you to the heavens. Did he really think that we couldn¡¯t see through such an obvious relationship?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s voice was very pleasant. A few colleagues in the office who were still gossipy were whispering to each other. Anhao glanced at her colleagues and then at Qiu. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she wasn¡¯t a willful child anymore, and if it weren¡¯t for the fact that someone like Qiu wouldn¡¯t even allow her to get dirty, Anhao really wanted to give her a spiraling kick to Minister Qin¡¯s office and let her ask him about it herself. However, Qiu¡¯s behavior made Anhao feel that life at work was not so boring. She leaned back in her chair with a smile and clasped her hands calmly. She looked at Qiu¡¯s proud expression and said with a smile, Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.¡± ¡°Ha! Hahaha! Why should I regret it? I can¡¯t wait to expose your cheap and despicable character as soon as possible. I can¡¯t wait for everyone to know about the dirty things between you and Minister Qin!¡± ¡± As far as I know, before you found this old man, you called Minister Qin many times and even invited him to have dinner with you, but he rejected you all the time.¡± Anhao smiled faintly.¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face turned pale. She was surprised that Gu Anhao knew about it! Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at her again.¡±¡±Of course, you can deny it.¡± In fact, the recent peace and the Minister of Qin communication, just but is aimed at the small autumn¡¯s character, just a few days ago, the change of the guess, some simple small insider, see the small autumn¡¯s expression, also know that they are definitely guessing right. ¡°Sure enough, there¡¯s something between you and Minister Qin. Otherwise, how could you know about such a subtle action?¡±Xiao Qiu smiled and whispered,¡± Gu Anhao, I¡¯m just not as good at seducing as you are. I guess Minister Qin is too old and has already been fed by you, so he ignored me. Of course, I¡¯m glad that Minister Qin didn¡¯t have any feelings for me back then. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have met such a good man now ¡± After saying that, Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t intend to continue bickering with Anhao. After all, she was the one who lost every time she fought with Anhao. Before she exposed Gu Anhao¡¯s true colors, she had to endure it! Xiao Qiu turned around and left. Anhao looked in her direction with a faint smile and continued to look at the computer as if nothing had happened. Xiao Qiu returned to her desk and sat down. She glanced at her bag on the table, then at her clothes. She looked up at Gu Anhao through the glass window. Seeing that her attitude was neither cold nor warm, she really didn¡¯t feel envious at all. No woman would be so calm in the face of all this. After all, her opponent had suddenly soared to the sky. Gu Anhao did not even show any signs of anger just now. She only looked at her with a pitiful and mocking gaze. It was even colder as if she was not wearing Chanel, but a piece of cheap street goods. Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t manage to anger Gu Anhao. She sat in front of the computer and stared at the screen, lost in thought. She couldn¡¯t concentrate at all. On the other hand, Anhao hadn¡¯t come to work for many days. Now, she was very focused on her work. While checking the results of the simulation that everyone had worked hard to produce these days, she also made some simple modifications on it. If she asked Xiao Qiu to change the words now, it would probably cause a big fight again. She promised Zuo Hancheng that she would go back early today and avoid the rush hour before she went back, so she couldn¡¯t stay here for too long. She might as well change it herself. The design department was going to be empty soon. She didn¡¯t have to be like Xiao Qiu, who was always holding on to a small matter and making others unhappy. After noon, Anhao was the first to return to the office to continue editing the simulation. She planned to get off work at around two o¡¯clock and return to Henghai City. Zi Ran was helping her by the side. She held the blueprint and talked to An about the size data. The two of them chatted as they worked. Zi Ran asked softly,¡±Are you still coming to work tomorrow?¡± ¡°It depends on the situation tomorrow.¡±Anhao said as she operated the software on the computer to modify the simulation. ¡°Then will you really go to the celebration party the day after tomorrow?¡± Zi Ran asked with a disappointed expression. Also, you can easily kill that Little Qiu with a single earring. Why didn¡¯t you say so? She even made her look so proud that she was about to fly to the sky in front of us.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t intend to compete with her at first, but there¡¯s a saying that the more a person likes to show off something, the more she cares about something and lacks something. I don¡¯t lack anything, so of course I¡¯m too lazy to show off. As for these jewelry, they¡¯re just some opportunities. Those who know the goods will naturally understand. Those who don¡¯t know the goods won¡¯t bother to explain.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Qiu¡¯s too Low. She doesn¡¯t even know that she¡¯s the world¡¯s favorite. All she does is show off her Chanel LV and other Chinese luxury goods from American stalls ¡± Ann laughed.¡± You¡¯re quite sharp-tongued. You know those are all cheap goods sold overseas. So if I compare myself to her, wouldn¡¯t I look low?¡±¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see her so smug.¡± Zi Ran pouted.¡± Maybe I¡¯m still too childish. I¡¯m not as calm as you, Sister Anhao.¡±¡± Chapter 682 - Chapter 682: The Secret in the Drawer (2) Chapter 682: The Secret in the Drawer (2) Translator: 549690339 Everyone was at a childish age. If Gu Anhao was still the same as she was three years ago, she would basically use her fists to talk to those who were too arrogant in front of her. He didn¡¯t even ask what his great-aunt used to do. But now She glanced at the manuscript in Zi Ran¡¯s hand.¡±I¡¯ll modify it according to the data. You go back and do your work first.¡± After Zi Ran left her office, Anhao looked at the time as she edited the simulation. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her email on the computer. The private email that Mr. V had contacted was still silent. She pursed her lips and realized that Mr. V seemed to have completely disappeared. It seemed like she no longer planned to design that villa in the near future. The little hope in Anhao¡¯s heart was instantly extinguished. The money that she had given to the detective company had also been transferred. Although she already knew the truth, knowing this in advance was not within the terms of the contract, so they definitely would not refund her money. Was he really going to use the money he had left to live with Zuo Hancheng? Although she knew that he definitely wouldn¡¯t mind, and if she asked him, he might even give her a card to spend as she pleased like back then. However, three years ago, she had taken the initiative to study abroad and said that she would definitely come back with good results. Now that she was back, if she did not even have the ability to support herself, then why would she have to leave for the past three years? Then what exactly had happened in the past three years? What she was working hard for was still the same as before. She was no longer as different from Zuo Hancheng. What she was working hard for was to achieve something. At least, when she stood beside Zuo Hancheng, she would not feel that the gap between them was too big. At least, she had her own way of supporting herself and had her own field of success. At the thought of this, Anhao took another look at the email and closed it. She continued to look at the simulation on the computer seriously, her hands constantly changing the inaccurate size and data on the keyboard. Outside the office, Xiao Qiu sat in front of her computer, looking in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction from time to time. It wasn¡¯t until two o¡¯clock in the afternoon that Anhao finished all the work that she planned to organize on time. After saying goodbye to Anhao and a few colleagues that she barely got along with, she left the office. Before leaving, Xiao Qiu said coldly,¡±¡±Yo, you¡¯re off work already? Minister Qin¡¯s little lover was really different. She could come and go as she pleased and did not even have to go to work on time?¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks and looked back at her.¡±¡±I almost forgot if you didn¡¯t mention it. What time did you come to work today? What time did she arrive at the office for the past half a month? Do you think you have a reason to be late just because I¡¯m not around?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face turned pale when she heard that. She stood up abruptly and confronted him.¡±You¡¯re preparing to leave early now. How can you have the cheek to talk to me?¡± Anhao smiled faintly.¡± My sick leave hasn¡¯t ended yet. I¡¯m here on leave today. Let alone leaving at two in the afternoon, even if I only stay here for an hour in the morning, you won¡¯t be able to explain why.¡± Moreover, I was injured in some accident not long ago. My waist injury has not recovered yet and I need some time to recuperate. Why did you take advantage of my absence to be late and leave early?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s expression froze. She couldn¡¯t think of a good response for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you have a waist injury too?¡± Anhao asked with a smile. Nothing happened to you. Is your waist not good either? Young people shouldn¡¯t indulge in their desires, especially your unmarried ¡®hubby¡¯. You have to remind him that he has to pay attention to restraint even at the age of forty. He can¡¯t make you unable to get out of bed every day and be late every day. This is outrageous ¡± Xiao Qiu rushed forward and pointed at Anhao¡¯s nose angrily.¡±Looking at your lonely and empty face, I know that although you climbed into Minister Qin¡¯s bed, that fat guy definitely can¡¯t satisfy you. Let alone making you unable to get out of bed, I reckon you won¡¯t even last ten minutes!¡± The topic had changed so much that Zi Ran blushed. Anhao looked at Xiao Qiu¡¯s flushed face calmly.¡±Aiya, I really envy you. You roll in bed with an old man every day and enjoy the feeling of being f cked until you can¡¯t get out of bed.¡± ¡°I told you you were lonely and empty! Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really despicable ¡± Anhao, however, glanced at Qiu¡¯s clothes without batting an eyelid. Suddenly, she reached out and unbuttoned her pink Chanel jacket, revealing the transparent sexy lingerie she was wearing underneath. Although she only unbuttoned her shirt a little, Anhao¡¯s swift action was still seen clearly by everyone in the office who was looking over. For a moment, everyone saw the sexy lingerie hidden under Xiao Qiu¡¯s clothes. Xiao Qiu let out a low cry and quickly raised her hand to cover her collar. Then, she looked up in disbelief. ¡°Wearing this kind of clothes from morning till night every day, afraid of missing any opportunity to seduce an old man. Is it comfortable to wear this kind of clothes 24 hours a day?¡±Anhao said with a smile. Xiao Qiu was so angry that her face turned red and she cursed in a low voice. She could not take it anymore and rushed over to slap Gu Anhao¡¯s face. Zi Ran gasped in shock. The other colleagues in the office did not expect Xiao Qiu to be so bold as to hit Gu Anhao. However, just as Qiu¡¯s hand was about to slap her, Anhao¡¯s eyes flickered and she quickly dodged. At the same time, she turned her head to the side to avoid Qiu¡¯s hand perfectly. At the same time, she grabbed Qiu¡¯s wrist and buckled it hard. For a moment, the quiet office was filled with the sound of bones criss-crossing. Qiu screamed,¡±Ah ¡± ¡°Did you suddenly rush in to fight me one-on-one?¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows and chuckled. She held her wrist firmly and did not let her break free. Her voice was cold as she said,¡±¡±Although I have a waist injury, it¡¯s not a problem for me to fight with you. However, it¡¯s not good to fight in front of so many colleagues and in the office of the political department. After all, it¡¯s not good for women to fight.¡± ¡°Let go of me!¡± Qiu¡¯s face was twisted in pain, and her delicate makeup looked even weirder. Everyone could hear the sound of bones cracking between Qiu¡¯s arm and wrist. If she had used a little more force, her arm would have been dislocated or broken! No one had expected Gu Anhao, who usually did not fight for anything, to be so good at fighting. Even the male colleagues in the office might not be able to beat her, let alone a woman like Xiao Qiu. ¡°Let me go!¡± Xiao Qiu cried out again, and her twisted face turned even paler in pain. Chapter 683 - Chapter 683: The Secret in the Drawer (3) Chapter 683: The Secret in the Drawer (3) Translator: 549690339 At the same time, she saw the coldness in Gu Anhao¡¯s eyes. She suspected that if she didn¡¯t break free, Gu Anhao would really break her arm! ¡°Gu Anhao, let go of me! I¡¯m going to call for help!¡± Xiao Qiu cried out unwillingly. ¡°Go ahead. I can¡¯t wait for you to call everyone in the government over. I can¡¯t wait for you to be more capable and call the governor and mayor over so that everyone can hear your thoughts. Didn¡¯t you say that I had an affair with Minister Qin? You should shout out now and call everyone over. Get Minister Qin to come over and confront him directly! Why wait until the celebration party? I can confront you now!¡± As she spoke, Anhao gradually increased her strength. Xiao Qiu was in so much pain that tears were about to fall. She gritted her teeth and glared at her.¡±If you don¡¯t let go, I¡¯ll really call for help!¡± ¡°Go ahead and shout!¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± If you don¡¯t shout, I¡¯m going to continue using more strength. If I use a little more strength, I think your wrist will be dislocated first. You know, if the dislocated wrist is not treated, it¡¯s easy to leave behind sequelae.¡±¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face was instantly shocked. She was afraid that her wrist would be broken if it was really broken. She immediately became anxious and turned to look at her other colleagues in the office.¡±Are you guys just going to watch me get bullied? Even if Gu Anhao was the director, she couldn¡¯t bully people like this! Come and help me! ¡°I want to see who dares to help her!¡± Anhao said coldly with an expressionless face. The few male colleagues who could not stand it anymore froze and slowly sat down. Xiao Qiu looked at her in disbelief.¡±Gu Anhao, are you crazy? Let go of me! Some people in the office had already heard the commotion outside. A few people were walking over curiously. Anhao heard the commotion outside and didn¡¯t want to attract too much attention when Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t want to continue courting death. When Xiao Qiu was in so much pain that she couldn¡¯t hold back her tears, she suddenly swung her hand and threw her behind her office chair. Xiao Qiu staggered backward and fell to the ground. Her head was resting on the corner of the chair. The pain was so great that the tears she had been holding back immediately flowed out. A few colleagues who were close to Xiao Qiu quickly got up and ran over to help her up. A male colleague even said,¡±Anhao, forget it. Don¡¯t be calculative with Qiu. She¡¯s just a little flamboyant usually, but she¡¯s not a bad person. She often treats everyone to food and is very generous. She has a good personality ¡± ¡± Sister Gu, let¡¯s just let this matter pass. We don¡¯t have much time left for the people in our office to gather together. Let¡¯s just be more amiable.¡± ¡°Harmony? Of course, it¡¯s okay.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Keep your generous colleague Qiu in check. Don¡¯t let her come out and jump around like a crazy woman. I don¡¯t have the time to play this kind of office infighting game with her all day.¡±¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Anhao turned around and walked out under Xiao Qiu¡¯s hateful gaze. ¡± Gu Anhao, don¡¯t take advantage of others. I used to think that you were just a white lotus who liked to act pretentious. Now I know that you¡¯re also a wicked woman who knows kung fu ¡± ¡°Alright, Little Qiu, stop scolding ¡± The office was in a mess. Anhao ignored the mess behind her and left quickly. At five o¡¯clock in the afternoon, most of the offices in the government office had already closed. Only a few offices that were still working overtime were still occupied. Xiao Qiu and another female colleague she was close with sneakily walked back. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor of the design department, the two of them took the office key and quietly returned to the design department. The design department was very quiet. When the female colleague saw Xiao Qiu walk straight in after entering the door, she said worriedly,¡±Qiu, is this really okay? Will we be captured?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the surveillance cameras on the first floor of our game break last Friday? Until now, no one has repaired it. Without surveillance cameras, who will know that we did it?¡±Xiao Qiu looked back at her and said,¡±Guard the door for me. Tell me immediately if anyone comes.¡± The female colleague turned around to look outside and then looked at the surveillance camera in the corridor. She was originally worried, but when she saw that the red light on the camera was not lit, she was relieved. She turned around and whispered,¡±Hurry up.¡± Xiao Qiu walked to the door of Gu Anhao¡¯s director¡¯s office and tugged at the door twice. The design department only had their own internal design drafts. There were no trade secrets or valuables, so the door to the office was usually not locked. Even if it was locked, it was just a simple button lock, which was easy to open. Xiao Qiu opened the door and walked into the office. She took out a diamond necklace worth more than ten thousand yuan from her bag and placed it in the drawer under Anhao¡¯s desk. She then found a place where Gu Anhao would not find it immediately and hid it. Thinking that it was not enough, she took a gold bracelet from her wrist and hid it as well. The female colleague standing outside the door suddenly waved at her, indicating that someone was passing by. Xiao Qiu quickly closed the drawer, turned around, and walked out quickly. Then, she quietly closed the door and wiped it with a tissue in her bag to prevent Gu Anhao, who was a smart person, from asking someone to check for fingerprints. The two of them had succeeded. They took advantage of the time when the passersby outside left and carefully slipped out of the office. The surveillance lights above the corridor were not lit, so no one saw this scene. Anhao¡¯s eyelids had been twitching for the past two days. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she had officially moved into Heng Hai City. After she had gone to the government office yesterday to check the mock-up, she had specially saved a copy and sent it back to her email so that Zuo Hancheng could take a look. Although he had already passed the first draft, if he were to check the post-production, the final architectural design would definitely be perfect and would be very suitable for both the government office and the commercial form. Last night, after Zuo Hancheng had helped her look at the simulation, he had only asked her a single question about the map that she had spent a few hours editing.¡±Let me take a look at the map before you modified it.¡± He could actually see the traces of her editing. Did he already know her design and composition very well? After Anhao showed him the original file, Zuo Hancheng only commented,¡±¡±The person in charge of the 3D simulation of the second floor can pack up and leave. The design industry is not suitable for her.¡± Anhao immediately admired Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sharp eyes.¡±¡±So what about the one I edited?¡± ¡°Yes, as long as there are no mistakes in the middle, it¡¯s basically perfect.¡± ¡°What do you mean by basically perfect? Isn¡¯t it perfect enough?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and patted her head. He smiled faintly while Anhao was still confused.¡±If I give you 100 points, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be proud. 90 points can¡¯t be more.¡± Anhao was speechless. Chapter 684 - Chapter 684: The Secret in the Drawer (4) Chapter 684: The Secret in the Drawer (4) Translator: 549690339 Everything was going smoothly, but why was her eyelid twitching? So much so that she spent the entire morning looking at her own eyes in front of the mirror. After Zuo Hancheng approved the simulation draft, the government would not have any objections. After all, she was too lazy to go to Minister Qin¡¯s official form. She could just skip it and send the draft to the Construction Bureau. Tuesday happened to be the day when most of the construction workers were having a meeting at the bureau. Anhao was especially careful when she went out because her eyelids had been twitching the entire morning. She was afraid of spontaneous combustion when she took the bus and was afraid of a car accident when she took a taxi. In short, she was quite worried on the way to the bureau. After all, the degree of her eyelids twitching was much more serious than usual. Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound. As soon as she arrived at the Construction Bureau, she saw Bai Weiwei and a few people from the bureau walking out. As they walked, they were holding a large blueprint and talking about something. From afar, Anhao could see that the structure on the blueprint should be related to the reconstruction of the provincial park. Therefore, she did not go over, nor did she want to meet Bai Weiwei. She directly walked in from the side door in a direction that they could not see. After handing over the draft of the simulation to the office of the relevant department in the Construction Bureau, Anhao still planned to leave through the side door. However, just as she walked out of the office, she heard familiar footsteps. Bai Weiwei wore slender and elegant high heels every day, and she looked like a perfect goddess when she walked. Hence, the sound of her walking was different in Anhao¡¯s ears. As expected, when she raised her eyes and met Bai Weiwei¡¯s gaze, Anhao was not surprised by how she came up so quickly. She just looked at her and smiled politely,¡±¡±Deputy Director Bai, we meet again.¡± Bai Weiwei glanced at her, and her eyes were filled with the same thoughtful and tactful smile.¡±¡±Miss Gu, why are you here? I didn¡¯t see you come in just now.¡± ¡°Your Construction Bureau has several doors. The car stopped at the side door just now, so I came in through the side door.¡±¡±I¡¯m here to deliver the 3D simulation of the gymnasium and cultural center,¡± Anhao replied calmly.¡± Bai nodded slightly.¡± The reconstruction project of the gymnasium and cultural center is under my management. Moreover, the system of our bureau has changed in the past two days. This project is not under my management, but I will talk to the project manager of our bureau and ask them to help you read the manuscript as much as possible so that you can start construction as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Thank you, Director Bai.¡± Anhao smiled again and said,¡± I¡¯ve been recuperating recently. There are still some follow-up arrangements and proofreading work at the political department. I¡¯ll go back first.¡±¡± After she finished speaking, Anhao walked past her. Bai Weiwei glanced at her, and after a while, the two of them walked further and further away with their backs to each other. When Anhao was about to reach the elevator door, Bai Weiwei suddenly turned her back to her and said softly,¡±¡±Miss Gu, may I know where your parents work? That day, I found out that the two of us are actually neighbors. I think it¡¯s possible that we¡¯ll meet your parents one day. If we don¡¯t recognize them, it¡¯ll be awkward.¡± As she spoke, Bai Weiwei turned around and looked at Anhao, who had stopped in her tracks. She smiled gently and said,¡±So I wonder who Miss Gu¡¯s parents are .?¡± Anhao stood in front of the elevator and waited quietly. At the same time, she turned to look at Bai Weiwei and smiled.¡±¡±Deputy Director Bai is really far-sighted. My parents probably won¡¯t appear in Luxury Court, so you won¡¯t meet them.¡± Seeing that she had changed the topic so easily, Bai tilted her head slightly and smiled politely at her.¡±¡±I was just asking casually. Miss Gu, please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not particularly familiar with Deputy Director Bai.¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows. She was completely shocked by Bai Weiwei¡¯s disguised way of showing off her parents.¡±I can¡¯t be considered a neighbor. After all, I probably won¡¯t be going back to live in Luxury Court.¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes flashed with a smile for a moment, and then she continued to ask with a smile,¡±¡±Then is Miss Gu moving away completely?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao¡¯s tone was calm, but there was a faint smile in her eyes.¡±I¡¯m temporarily moving to Heng Hai City, so Deputy Chief Bai and I can¡¯t be neighbors anymore.¡± Hearing the words ¡± Heng Hai City ¡°, the smile in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes deepened.¡±So you¡¯ve moved there. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯d like to visit Miss Gu.¡± ¡°Heng Hai Ming isn¡¯t even my place. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be convenient for Deputy Director Bai to go.¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked behind her.¡±¡±Someone seemed to be looking for you in that office just now. Seeing that you were talking to me, they went back. Then I won¡¯t delay your business here.¡± Anhao smiled and waved at her. After waiting for the elevator for a while, she walked in. He knew that Zuo Hancheng lived in Heng Hai City, yet he said that he wanted to visit him when he had the chance. Did she really think that Gu An was so easy to deal with? They were not divorced yet, so she had the right to protect her legal marriage. She did not allow Rong Xue to succeed in the first place, so how could she allow Bai Weiwei to take advantage of this loophole now? He didn¡¯t know what expression Bai Weiwei had on her face, but there was nothing wrong with her smiling face. She was still smiling politely at the end. He hoped that Bai Weiwei only had a slight impression of Zuo Hancheng. He hoped that she would not be as shameless as Rong Xue. Otherwise, an opponent like her would not be easy to deal with. She hadn¡¯t planned to go to the political department today, but there was indeed a lot of follow-up work to be done. When Anhao arrived at the design department office, she saw that everyone was quietly busy with their own things. Even Xiao Qiu was working hard in front of the computer. She looked very serious. Just as Anhao walked through the door, Xiao Qiu suddenly glanced at her, but she turned her head away immediately. He actually didn¡¯t open his mouth to find trouble with him? Anhao glanced at her coldly and walked straight into the office. As soon as she sat down, she received a call from Zuo Hancheng. She took a look at the caller ID and picked up the call. In order to prevent him from saying that she was running around again, Anhao immediately said,¡±I just arrived at the government office.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait for me at home in the afternoon?¡±It was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear voice on the phone. ¡°I feel that my waist is much better, so I want to go out for a walk. Shouldn¡¯t you be attending the provincial business summit in the afternoon? Why did you make me wait for you?¡± As she spoke, Anhao¡¯s hand touched the drawer under the desk. She wanted to find her pen. However, the moment he opened the drawer, he noticed something strange in it. He looked at the data paper inside with confusion. He glanced inside again and slowly raised his eyebrows. Chapter 685 - Chapter 685: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (1) Chapter 685: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (1) Translator: 549690339 She held the phone in one hand and picked up the data paper with the other hand. Such an important thing must not be damaged, so she placed it in the bottom drawer. At the same time, she looked at the gold bracelet in the corner of the drawer. After a glance, she looked up in the direction of the office as if nothing had happened. Xiao Qiu was secretly looking in her direction, but because the laptop in front of Anhao blocked her movements, Xiao Qiu couldn¡¯t see what Anhao was doing. However, from Anhao¡¯s side, Xiao Qiu could see her sneaking glances in her direction from time to time. Anhao sneered and tidied up the piece of data in her hand without batting an eyelid. At the same time, she stood up and continued to talk to Zuo Hancheng on the phone as if she had not noticed anything.¡±Something came up in my office.¡± Although Anhao¡¯s tone was calm, Zuo Hancheng knew her better than she thought. He asked directly,¡±¡±What is it? Do you need my help?¡± ¡°No need. Women don¡¯t need men to get involved in a fight. Besides, it¡¯s just a small matter.¡± Zuo Hancheng immediately laughed.¡± Come back as soon as you¡¯re done. Lin Qing has ordered a gown for you. I¡¯ll bring you to try it on.¡±¡± ¡°What gown?¡± Anhao glanced outside as she answered the call. Seeing that Xiao Qiu thought she hadn¡¯t noticed anything and was just making a simple call, Anhao sat down and took out everything from the drawer with her other hand. The moment she saw a diamond necklace inside, her smiling eyes became even sharper. ¡°Do you want to wear those professional suits to your design department¡¯s celebration party tomorrow?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve bought enough clothes recently. It doesn¡¯t matter if I randomly find a set that¡¯s similar to it. It¡¯s not a particularly big banquet anyway.¡± ¡°How can you be too casual with my woman?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I¡¯m not going with you. Who would know that we¡¯re related?¡± Anhao was too focused on the things in the drawer when she said this, so she did not understand the meaning behind Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. She only instinctively thought that he was going to spend money on her again. Recently, she had been buying clothes, and her sense of spending was almost unbearable. ¡°When will you be back?¡± Why was Zuo Hancheng, the big BOSS of Shengling Group, asking her what time he was coming home like a resentful wife? Anhao looked at the time with a funny face and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll try to solve the problem within an hour and then go back.¡± ¡°Let Lin Qing pick you up.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± After putting down the phone, Anhao began to slowly organize the things in the other drawers. As she organized them, she looked at the gold bracelet and diamond necklace that she had placed at the side. If Xiao Qiu was just an unpresentable person, the extent of her sinister methods finally made Anhao decide that she could not let it go. Previously, it was just that his vanity was too strong, his character was too poor, and he only had a verbal dispute with him. Now, it had risen to the point where he wanted to frame him. He wanted to play dirty with her? Anhao smiled faintly and raised her eyebrows. ¡°Come here, Qiu.¡± Anhao walked out of the office and glanced at Xiao Qiu calmly. Xiao Qiu, who was suddenly called out, immediately looked up in Anhao¡¯s direction as if she was shocked. She couldn¡¯t tell what Anhao was thinking, but she still felt guilty. She looked at Anhao¡¯s expression carefully and Anhao turned around and walked in. Xiao Qiu stood up and walked to Anhao¡¯s office in confusion. She tried her best to sound innocent as she asked coldly,¡±¡±What do you want now?¡± ¡°Regarding the issue of a portion of us leaving the government after the design department is completed, I¡¯m collecting everyone¡¯s opinions.¡±Anhao looked at her calmly.¡± Do you want to stay in the government office and work as a staff member in the Ministry of Construction? Or do you want to go out and look for other design jobs?¡± I¡¯m going to make a list for the HR department.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and waited quietly for Qiu¡¯s reply when she saw how nervous Qiu was, but she didn¡¯t dare to give herself away. Qiu was trying her best to hold her breath and pretend to be calm. Xiao Qiu took a closer look at Anhao¡¯s attitude and heaved a sigh of relief.¡±I won¡¯t stay in the government anymore. In the future, when I¡¯m old . My boyfriend will arrange a better job for me outside, and even if I don¡¯t work in the future, there will still be someone to support me.¡± As she spoke, Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes gleamed with pride.¡±Unlike some people who have no money or status and only sleep with their leaders in exchange for a job. They even know how to use force. They¡¯re not feminine at all. I¡¯m afraid no one will support them in this lifetime ¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this insinuation too obvious? Who gave you such confidence?¡±Anhao sneered.¡± If you don¡¯t want to stay, then so be it. You can go out and call the people behind you over. I¡¯ll ask them about their intentions.¡±¡± Seeing that Anhao wasn¡¯t angered, Xiao Qiu rolled her eyes and walked out. Looking at Qiu¡¯s proud back, Anhao played with the diamond necklace in the drawer calmly. An hour later, Lin Qing called her. Anhao walked out of the office and paused for a moment. She looked back at the broken surveillance equipment in the corridor and left after raising her eyebrows. Lin Qing drove Anhao to a high-class private custom-made dress center in the center of A City. After arriving, Lin Qing called out the designer he had already made an appointment with. ¡°President Zuo¡¯s summit is not over yet. It will arrive in about half an hour. I¡¯ll accompany you here to try on the dress.¡±Lin Qing said. Anhao glanced at her. She thought that Zuo Hancheng had already returned home in the afternoon and even imagined that he would call her from home to ask when she would be back. In the end, he really did not return from the business summit. When she followed the designer into the inner room, the corners of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. She had indeed been overly sentimental. As the celebration banquet tomorrow was a show of sincerity between the government and the Construction Bureau, it was only for the sake of celebrating the design department, so it was not particularly grand. Therefore, the two gowns that the designer had designed for Anhao were low-key and luxurious. They looked elegant and simple, but they did not lose their charm. This was the style that Lin Qing had chosen for her. The designer had made a series of design changes in advance based on Anhao¡¯s photo and figure. Now that she was wearing it, she felt that it fit her especially well and suited her very well. The one she was wearing now was a white tube top, and the other was a silver off-shoulder style. Although they both looked low-key and simple, they were sexier than this one. Anhao immediately rejected that one and chose the one she was wearing. While the stylist was helping her with her hair, Anhao looked at herself in the mirror and asked,¡±¡±Do you think my hair should be cut shorter to look better?¡± Chapter 686 - Chapter 686: She Is Actually Mrs. Zuo (2) Chapter 686: She Is Actually Mrs. Zuo (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Miss Gu, long hair makes you look more feminine. If you cut short hair, you¡¯ll look good too, but you¡¯ll look like a student.¡±The stylist smiled and helped her tidy her hair. At the same time, he said,¡±You¡¯re the kind of person who can control any hairstyle, but every hairstyle gives people a different aura and feeling. You¡¯re very suitable for long hair.¡± ¡°Is that so? I miss the days when I had short hair.¡±Anhao chuckled, but she was also very satisfied with her current appearance. When she walked out, she saw Lin Qing walking out. Judging from her hurried attitude, she could tell that Zuo Hancheng had already arrived. Anhao looked out and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car parked outside. Seeing him get out of the car, Lin Qing had already rushed out of the door to explain the situation inside to him. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng through the glass and smiled faintly. For some reason, she suddenly felt particularly good. The moment Zuo Hancheng walked through the door, he saw Anhao standing there in a white strapless dress with a sweet smile on her face. The word ¡®sweet¡¯ had almost never appeared on her. Gu Anhao had always been associated with words such as rebellious, perverse, childish, straightforward, or generous. Gu Anhao was only a little more mature and steady than before. Now that he could actually find such a sweet feeling in her, Zuo Hancheng walked up to her with a clear smile in his eyes.¡±Lin Qing has good taste. It suits you very well.¡± ¡°I already said that tomorrow is just a symbolic celebration party. You¡¯re someone who can¡¯t even be invited to a large-scale banquet in the province, but you actually took the initiative to attend our celebration party.¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows and asked. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was already around her waist. Ignoring the ambiguous and envious gazes around him, he pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±You, Gu Anhao, have a bigger face than anyone else. I don¡¯t dare not to go.¡± Anhao immediately smiled and pushed his arm with her hand.¡±¡±There are so many people ¡± ¡°Do you think there¡¯s anyone here who doesn¡¯t know that you¡¯re Mrs. Zuo?¡±Not only did Zuo Hancheng not let go of her, he held her with one hand and played with her long hair with the other. His fingers wrapped around her hair and then slowly released it, and then slowly wrapped it again. The slight itch in her hair made Anhao¡¯s heart beat wildly. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng kissed her ear gently. Just as Anhao trembled slightly and wanted to avoid it, he leaned over and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±It¡¯s very beautiful.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because you had a unique vision back then. You were able to take me away in my silly style. Otherwise, how would you have discovered that there was such a beautiful piece of jade in it?¡±Anhao was a little smug from the praise and said with a smile. ¡°Aren¡¯t you coming with me tomorrow night?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Anhao paused for a moment and thought about what happened in the office today. The smile in her eyes faded slightly.¡±I have to go to the office before the celebration party tomorrow. I¡¯ll take a taxi there myself.¡± Zuo Hancheng saw the flash of coldness in her eyes.¡±¡±The matter just now hasn¡¯t been resolved yet?¡± ¡°I originally wanted to solve it today, but after thinking about it, it¡¯s not the right time yet.¡±Anhao shrugged her shoulders and said softly,¡±¡±I feel that I am actually a particularly ruthless person, but I will definitely not leave any leeway for those who are ruthless to me. If they want to kill me, I will let them die completely first.¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard the ruthlessness in her words, he was not surprised. Instead, he raised his hand and patted the back of her head to comfort her.¡±Then I hope you have a good time tomorrow.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll kill you?¡± Anhao glanced at him. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll drag you down again?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and smiled.¡±¡±Is it that serious?¡± Anhao scoffed.¡± Maybe one day, I¡¯ll really kill someone on impulse. Let¡¯s see if you can still smile when that happens. I¡¯m not a reliable person. It¡¯s not like you didn¡¯t know in the past ¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand had already caressed her abdomen. Anhao froze and suddenly heard him whisper in her ear,¡±¡±I don¡¯t mind killing someone now. Do you want to try it tonight?¡± As he spoke, his hand gently caressed her lower abdomen. Anhao¡¯s entire body suddenly went numb, and her face was hot to the ears. She immediately glared at him and said,¡±Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m serious about following you. After all, there are so many people who don¡¯t like me. Maybe one day, I¡¯ll be provoked and cause more trouble for you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also very serious.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he held her waist firmly and smiled slowly.¡±¡±If one life isn¡¯t enough, I¡¯ll take two.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and she almost mocked him. Did he really think he was a god? He could get pregnant with two just like that! However, she could not say it out loud. She only carefully avoided his hand and turned to look at Lin Qing and the other designers who were standing not far away and snickering. She immediately stepped on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s foot. Anyway, when she was trying on the dress just now, she was wearing the stilettos that the people here had given her. This was much more powerful than usual! However, Zuo Hancheng did not let go of her as if he could not feel the pain. When Anhao was about to push her away, he directly pulled her into his arms. Anhao rammed into his chest again and saw the desire hidden in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes that had been difficult to fill for many years. She suddenly felt that the tube top style clothes on her body might be too tempting, so she suddenly turned to the designer and said,¡±¡±Do you have any more conservative designs?¡± She was afraid that before she could go to the celebration party, she would be swallowed by this wolf that had been hungry for several years. One of the designers could tell that she was embarrassed, but he still coughed lightly and said with a smile,¡± Miss Gu, the one you¡¯re wearing just now and the one you¡¯re wearing are custom-made for you in advance. The other styles still need time to be custom-made according to your figure. You probably won¡¯t be able to make it in time before the banquet tomorrow. If you¡¯re too rushed, I¡¯m afraid there will be some mistakes in the stitching. The one you¡¯re wearing really suits you very well, and it doesn¡¯t reveal anything at all ¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t it be exposed? Isn¡¯t it exposing your neck and shoulders?¡±Anhao struggled in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms as she spoke. At the same time, she glared at him and whispered,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to try on some clothes.¡± ¡°This one is not bad. There¡¯s no need to try again.¡± ¡°Are you happy that I showed my shoulders to others?¡±Anhao could only find a random reason to provoke him. ¡°Now that you mention it, it¡¯s true that you¡¯ve revealed too much.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll try something else ¡± In the end, Zuo Hancheng took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. Under Anhao¡¯s surprised gaze, he said,¡±¡±This is the most compatible combination.¡± Anhao was speechless. Chapter 687 - Chapter 687: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (3) Chapter 687: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (3) Translator: 549690339 The next day, everyone in the office was preparing for the celebration dinner and was basically not working. The leaders even gave everyone a break in the afternoon to prepare for the celebration party. They also told everyone not to embarrass themselves in front of the people from the Construction Bureau and Shengling Group. They told everyone to dress up. Quite a number of colleagues ran out in groups to buy clothes or go for makeup. For a moment, everyone in the office had left. Anhao didn¡¯t come to work in the morning and only arrived in the afternoon. When she entered the office, she saw Zi Ran sorting out her own proposal alone. Anhao walked over and asked, only to find out that the leader had given everyone a break. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go buy clothes? The leader had already given everyone a vacation. Why were they still here alone?¡±Anhao asked with a smile. ¡± I have clothes and a gown. I just need to go back and change into one before the banquet. Besides, there¡¯s no need to make such a big fuss about such a small banquet. The reason why the leader paid special attention to it is because President Zuo of Shengling Group is going too. He¡¯s just giving President Zuo face. I¡¯m not familiar with President Zuo, so it¡¯s fine as long as I don¡¯t dress too ordinarily.¡± Zi Ran said as she agreed to a document.¡±Sister Anhao, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re here. Can you help me see if this new plan can be used?¡± After Anhao took the proposal, she turned around and walked into her office. She put down her bag as she looked at it. She realized that Zi Ran¡¯s creativity in writing the proposal was very unique, and she gradually became absorbed in it. Seeing Anhao looking at her new plan so seriously, Zi Ran said happily,¡±¡±Everyone has left. I¡¯ll stay here with you, okay? Sister Anhao, what are you doing here at this hour? To sort out the follow-up documents? Should I help you?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze did not leave the proposal in her hand. She said as she looked at it,¡±¡±I came to get some things. I¡¯ll leave in a while. You go first.¡± ¡°Alright, then. Oh, by the way, Qiu kept looking at your office before she left today. She had a strange look in her eyes. Be careful. I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll hate you if she didn¡¯t hit you in the office that day.¡± Anhao smiled,¡±I know.¡±¡± After Zi Ran left, Anhao put down the proposal in her hand and looked up at the empty office in front of her. She then casually opened the drawer under her desk and looked at the diamond necklace and gold bracelet inside. Because everyone was taking a bus to the hotel where the celebration party was held, all the colleagues in the office had to gather in front of the government office at 5:30 pm to wait for the bus. Anhao hadn¡¯t changed yet, so she arrived early. When everyone arrived, she realized that many of the young female colleagues had changed into all kinds of beautiful gowns or dresses. The men were also wearing shirts and trousers. It seemed that the people in the design department were indeed very high-class. Xiao Qiu arrived late. Minister Qin and a few other department heads were about to arrange for someone to pick her up when Xiao Qiu finally arrived. When they arrived, they found that Xiao Qiu, who usually wore all kinds of jewelry to work, was wearing only a beautiful dress. Her wrists and neck were clean and unadorned. Everyone looked at her curiously and didn¡¯t ask. Minister Qin, however, glanced at Xiao Qiu unhappily.¡±¡±The celebration banquet is a collective activity of the government and the government. It¡¯s no different from going to work. I gave you an afternoon off, how can you be late?¡± Xiao Qiu had just walked over when she heard Minister Qin¡¯s criticism and said anxiously,¡±¡±Minister Qin, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to be late. I just realized that I lost something before I came here. I couldn¡¯t find it for a long time, so I rushed over, but I was still a few minutes late.¡± As Xiao Qiu spoke, she turned to look at her colleagues.¡±Did you see the necklace and the gold bracelet I wore the day before yesterday?¡± Her colleagues looked at her in confusion and shook their heads in unison.¡±I didn¡¯t see it, but Qiu, do you mean you lost your jewelry?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes reddened as she said anxiously,¡±Yes, yes! My necklace and bracelet are missing! That necklace is very expensive. It costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy it from the store. It costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to buy it from the store. The bracelet is also very expensive, worth more than 10,000 yuan. I was wearing it well, but I put it in my bag yesterday to prepare for today¡¯s dress. But today, I realized that they were all gone ¡± Hearing Qiu¡¯s words, Minister Qin, who was about to arrange for a car to come over, turned to look at her.¡±What¡¯s wrong? What was this group of people doing here? Did you lose something?¡± ¡°Minister Qin, I lost two pieces of my jewelry. They¡¯ve been in my bag all this time. I usually leave my bag in my office or carry it home. Before I came here just now, I searched for it at home for a long time, but I couldn¡¯t find it. I¡¯m sure someone saw that the jewelry I¡¯ve been wearing recently was too expensive and stole it!¡±¡± As soon as Xiao Qiu said that, the few colleagues in the office immediately backed away with a change in expression. They all looked as if this had nothing to do with them. Of course, Xiao Qiu¡¯s words implied that the thief was among them, which meant that everyone in the office was a suspect. Of course, no one was willing to bear the responsibility of such an inexplicable theft. Stealing from the office was not a small matter. Minister Qin frowned and glanced at Xiao Qiu. After thinking for a while, he looked at Anhao, who was standing in the crowd with the same surprised expression as everyone else.¡±¡±Director Gu, you are the person-in-charge of the design department. What do you think of this? After all, this incident happened in your design department¡¯s office. We can¡¯t let everyone attend the celebration party with such doubts. I¡¯ll give you half an hour to resolve this matter. Otherwise, none of you can go tonight!¡± The colleagues ¡®eyes were filled with fear and disappointment. They were afraid that they would be framed for stealing. After all, they were all in the same office as Qiu. They were disappointed that they were all ready to attend the celebration party. It would be too disappointing if they couldn¡¯t go because of such a small incident. Anhao nodded and said,¡±I didn¡¯t expect this to happen either. Half an hour ¡± I¡¯ll try my best. After all, I can¡¯t be sure if someone in the office really took Qiu¡¯s things. Everything still needs to be verified.¡± ¡°What else is there to verify!¡± Xiao Huan, the female colleague who had been hiding things in the office with Xiao Qiu the other day, suddenly chimed in.¡±Who in our office doesn¡¯t get along with Qiu? Everyone knows that, right?¡± All of a sudden, everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Anhao. A few people who were standing beside Anhao quietly took two steps back, with an expression that said,¡± I know the truth, so I have to stay away.¡± Chapter 688 - Chapter 688: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (4) Chapter 688: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (4) Translator: 549690339 Minister Qin seemed to have understood what she meant, but because he knew Anhao¡¯s identity, he was 100% sure that this matter had nothing to do with her. He immediately said with an ugly expression,¡±Don¡¯t spout nonsense before you find out the real reason. Director Gu, the theft in the office is no small matter. I¡¯ll go with you to the office and investigate the matter as soon as possible.¡± ¡°How? Minister Qin, the surveillance camera on the floor of our office has been broken for several days. We don¡¯t even know who entered the office when no one was there.¡± ¡°Since you don¡¯t have evidence, don¡¯t slander me!¡±At first, Zi Ran was still a little puzzled when she heard this. When she realized that the spearhead was pointing at Anhao, she immediately walked to Anhao¡¯s side and said with an ugly expression,¡±Anhao and Qiu don¡¯t get along, but she¡¯s been recuperating at home for so many days. How dare you suspect her? Are you guys out of your minds?¡± ¡°So what if I¡¯m recuperating?¡± Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Qiu said directly,¡±Didn¡¯t you come to work the day before yesterday? She seemed to have come yesterday, and this afternoon, she heard that she had stayed in the office for a long time. At that time, everyone had gone out to buy clothes and dress up. Why was it that Gu An was in no hurry to change and dress up? Instead, she sat in the office alone for so long? I didn¡¯t want to suspect her at first, but she is indeed very suspicious!¡± Anhao raised her hand to stop Zi Ran, who was about to rush forward to argue with her, when she saw Minister Qin frowning at the side. It was obvious that he believed her, but he couldn¡¯t reveal her identity without her and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s permission to help her dispel the suspicion. Anhao curled her lips and said,¡±¡±Alright, there¡¯s nothing to argue about here. Since Qiu lost something, as the head of the design department, I should bring everyone back to investigate the matter. Now that I¡¯m a suspect, it¡¯s even more important to solve this problem first.¡± ¡°How do you want to solve the problem?¡± Minister Qin looked at her. After all, in front of so many people, he couldn¡¯t be too biased.¡±Isn¡¯t the camera outside your office broken?¡± Anhao smiled and didn¡¯t answer Minister Qin¡¯s question. Instead, she gave the initiative to Xiao Qiu, who had been trying to speak first.¡±Qiu was the one who lost the things. How do you want to investigate this? I want to ask her for her opinion.¡± Everyone turned to look at Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t expect Gu Anhao to be so stupid as to let her control the situation. She raised her chin and said,¡±¡±Now that Minister Qin and the leaders of the other departments are here, I¡¯ll have to ask you to be my witnesses. I, Qiu, lost something today, so I had no choice but to go through everyone¡¯s drawers and bags.¡± ¡°This ¡± Minister Qin felt that something was not right. He looked at Anhao again.¡±Director Gu, this ¡± Wasn¡¯t this too hasty? ¡°Sure.¡± Anhao directly ignored this hasty approach and replied calmly,¡±¡±You want to search? Then go search.¡± The other colleagues also nodded calmly.¡±Go ahead and search. Anyway, we didn¡¯t take your jewelry. Search as you wish ¡± Everyone walked into the F Square together, planning to search the design department¡¯s office. Xiao Qiu walked at the front, eager to rush in and open everyone¡¯s drawers. Anhao and the other colleagues walked in the middle, while Minister Qin and the leaders of other departments walked at the back, chatting as they suspected the cause of the incident. Zi Ran, who was beside Anhao, said uneasily,¡±Sis Anhao, I suspect that this is a conspiracy. Why would Xiao Qiu suddenly lose something and say that she wants to search? Did you check your desk properly before you left? After all, you haven¡¯t come to work for so many days. There are a lot of documents piled up in the drawer. Moreover, everyone usually enters your office casually ¡± ¡°I know.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. Zi Ran was stunned and immediately turned to look at her. Seeing Anhao¡¯s calm gaze, her heart gradually settled. Since Anhao was so sure that nothing would happen, Zi Ran followed everyone into the office with ease. When they reached the design department¡¯s office, Xiao Qiu didn¡¯t immediately search Anhao¡¯s office to prevent others from finding out that she was being framed. Instead, she started searching the desks closest to the door one by one. Every desk was carefully searched under the watchful eyes of everyone, including Minister Qin and the others. Even the sanitary pads hidden in the drawers of the female colleagues were not spared. The female colleagues immediately blushed and looked at Xiao Qiu with resentment. They felt that she had gone too far. She had just been kept by an old man and had gotten a few jewelry. After losing them, she actually wanted to search everyone¡¯s desks. It was really too outrageous. Such complaints gradually gathered in the hearts of many colleagues. For a moment, everyone stared at Xiao Qiu¡¯s hand, wanting to see whose drawer she could find something in. There were still two rows left to be searched. Xiao Qiu was just putting on an act. When she got inside, she glanced at Anhao¡¯s office and said,¡±A few days ago, Director Gu was very envious of the jewelry I wore. Moreover, Director Gu doesn¡¯t seem to have much money on hand. I actually hope that this matter has nothing to do with you.¡± As she spoke, she walked to Anhao¡¯s office. Everyone looked inside suspiciously and then at Anhao. Xiao Qiu crouched down beside Anhao¡¯s desk and pretended to open the other drawers. Finally, she opened the drawer with the diamond necklace, but she couldn¡¯t find it after searching for a long time. Her expression froze for a moment, then she looked at Gu Anhao abruptly. However, Gu Anhao smiled and raised her hand to signal for her to continue searching. Xiao Qiu recalled that Gu Anhao had been alone in the office for the past two days and wondered if she had been discovered long ago. However, she had been injured for the past two days. She shouldn¡¯t have been able to open the drawer to look at the unrelated documents, but there really wasn¡¯t anything! Just as Xiao Qiu pretended not to find anything and was about to go search someone else¡¯s desk, Anhao said,¡±You¡¯ve been searching everyone¡¯s desks since you came in. Why didn¡¯t you think of searching your desk first?¡± Xiao Qiu stopped in her tracks and felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to Anhao. ¡°That¡¯s right, Qiu. Did you leave it in your desk? Go and look for it ¡± Her colleagues also started to encourage her, and for a moment, they were all watching Xiao Qiu as a joke. Xiao Qiu hesitated for a moment. Even if Gu Anhao really did return the item to her, she would only be scolded by Minister Qin for making a mountain out of a molehill. She turned around and was about to walk back to her desk. At this moment, Anhao quietly raised her hand and patted her chest. When Zi Ran noticed her action, she suddenly asked in surprise,¡±Sister Anhao, where did the brooch you left here go? Why did she continue to wear such a beautiful brooch? That was the world-famous pet of his!¡± Chapter 689 - Chapter 689: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (5) Chapter 689: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (5) Translator: 549690339 As soon as Zi Ran finished speaking, Little Qiu, who was about to walk to the desk, suddenly stiffened. Even though they had never seen the love of their hearts, they had heard of it before. They suddenly turned to look at Anhao in disbelief, their eyes filled with disbelief. Minister Qin looked at Xiao Qiu impatiently.¡±¡±What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go back to your drawer to look for it!¡± But Qiu wasn¡¯t stupid. She could roughly guess what was going to happen next, but she was the one who had asked to search everyone¡¯s desks. Now that everyone¡¯s desks had been searched, it would be impossible for her not to search her own desks. She stood by her desk with her hand in front of the drawer, but her arm could not help but tremble ¡°Qiu, you¡¯re the one who threw the stuff away, and you¡¯re the one who shouted to search everyone¡¯s drawers. Why are you hesitating? Could it be that he wanted to frame people, but in the end, he forgot to put things in someone else¡¯s drawer?¡±Zi Ran had already turned her head around and stood beside Anhao, helping her continuously. Little Qiu immediately rolled her eyes at Zi Ran fiercely. ¡°Why are you rolling your eyes at me? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re still suspecting that I took your things?¡± ¡°That¡¯s definitely impossible.¡± Standing at the back, a colleague said,¡± Everyone knows that Zi Ran¡¯s family background is good. She drives a BMW. Xiao Qiu¡¯s jewelry is worth tens of thousands of yuan. She¡¯s the least likely suspect in our office.¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The other colleagues beside him also said,¡±All of us basically came back from studying abroad. Who would be short of tens of thousands of yuan? Why would we secretly take other people¡¯s jewelry for tens of thousands of yuan? ¡°Qiu, you¡¯re making a mountain out of a molehill. We¡¯ll all receive the final payment for the project in the future. Who would want to go against the final payment of 200,000 yuan and use your jewelry that costs tens of thousands to cause trouble?¡±¡± Everyone could tell that Qiu¡¯s situation was not as simple as it seemed. One by one, they began to express that they were not on the same side as Qiu. One by one, they retreated behind Minister Qin and stared at Qiu, who did not dare to open the drawer. ¡°Qiu, you didn¡¯t hide it on purpose to frame Director Gu, did you? Is it in your drawer?¡± Xiao Qiu froze when she heard that. She turned to look at Gu Anhao and saw that she was looking in her direction with an indifferent expression. Xiao Qiu pursed her lips. Under everyone¡¯s intense gazes, she finally had no choice but to open the drawer of her desk. There was nothing in the top drawer. She heaved a sigh of relief. However, there were several drawers under the desk. After hesitating for a moment, she opened the second drawer with a fluke mentality. Then, the third She only stopped when she reached the drawer at the bottom of the room. Although their desks weren¡¯t as big as Gu Anhao¡¯s desk, the structure was basically the same. When she was under Gu Anhao¡¯s desk, she had hidden her stuff in the last drawer. When she turned to look at Gu Anhao, she saw that Gu Anhao was smiling at her, and her eyes were cold and sharp. ¡°Qiu, what are you waiting for?¡± A few female colleagues were unhappy.¡± We didn¡¯t change our clothes and put on makeup all afternoon just to see you here. The celebration party is almost here. Do you want us to be late or not have the chance to attend the celebration party? This is a group activity. Qiu, you can¡¯t be so selfish. You¡¯re affecting everyone¡¯s activities just because of a little thing!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? It took so long to finish just a few drawers. Could it be faster?¡± Xiao Qiu gritted her teeth and opened the last drawer. She found nothing unusual inside. Everything was neatly arranged. There were no necklaces or bracelets. Her eyes lit up with joy. She heaved a sigh of relief and was about to close the drawer. Zi Ran stared at the drawer and suddenly said loudly,¡±Wait a minute!¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s hand trembled and she turned to look at Zi Ran, who was walking over quickly.¡±What are you doing? Haven¡¯t you already seen it?¡± ¡°There are so many things in your drawer. Who knows if there are any below?¡±Zi Ran walked forward and deliberately pushed Xiao Qiu, who had been blocking the drawer, away. She reached out and opened the drawer again. She searched inside with her hand and found a small red box at the innermost. She turned to Xiao Qiu and said,¡±What is this?¡± At the sight of the red box, Xiao Qiu rolled her eyes at her.¡±That¡¯s the decorative box outside the cup I bought before. I saw that the box was too exquisite and beautiful, so I didn¡¯t throw it away. It¡¯s been in the drawer for more than a month.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zi Ran took out the box. In the end, a sound came from the box that should have been empty. Xiao Qiu, who had been calm, was shocked. She looked at the red box in Zi Ran¡¯s hand in disbelief.¡±Why is there something here?¡± ¡°Yeah, why would there be something?¡± Zi Ran said as she opened the box. After taking a look inside, she looked at Anhao with shining eyes. Seeing Anhao¡¯s calm smile, Zi Ran was in a good mood and poured the contents of the box onto Xiao Qiu¡¯s desk. ¡°What¡¯s this, Qiu?¡± Qiu¡¯s diamond necklace and gold bracelet fell out, along with an exquisite brooch. When Xiao Qiu saw it, her face turned pale.¡±This is impossible ¡± ¡°How is it impossible?¡± ¡°Are you saying that it¡¯s impossible for you to hide your jewelry and frame our colleagues?¡± Or is it impossible for you to steal and hide Director Gu¡¯s brooch?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t steal anything from her! Don¡¯t slander me!¡± Xiao Qiu immediately scolded angrily,¡±Zi Ran, you¡¯re usually on such good terms with Gu Anhao, but now you¡¯re defending her. This thing clearly shouldn¡¯t be with me.¡± ¡°Did we frame you?¡± ¡± Who said that they lost something?¡± Anhao asked.¡± Who even said that they wanted the higher-ups to testify and search everyone¡¯s desks?¡± Could it be me?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s voice was choked. It was only then that she realized that she had been set up by Gu Anhao! ¡°Anyway, I didn¡¯t hide these things! I don¡¯t even know what your brooch is, so why would I take it?¡±¡±Gu Anhao, you¡¯re really vicious. Do you think you can frame me just because you put these jewelry in my drawer?¡± Xiao Qiu glared at her with an ugly expression.¡± ¡°I also want to ask you this.¡±¡±Do you think that you can successfully frame others by hiding these things or hiding them in other people¡¯s drawers?¡± Anhao chuckled. Qiu?¡± Chapter 690 - Chapter 690: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (6) Chapter 690: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (6) Translator: 549690339 Xiao Qiu pursed her lips with an ugly expression. It took her a long time to find a reason to continue explaining herself.¡±Since you also think that just finding these things in the drawer can¡¯t prove that this is the truth, then someone must have deliberately placed these things here to frame me!¡± ¡°Who would frame you? Do you have evidence?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows. ¡°I have no evidence!¡± Little Qiu is angry: We are outside the office, the camera head is bad, sure that someone sees me wearing it every day, so I deliberately hide my things, and deliberately put you where you left your brooch here to harm me!¡± ¡°Aiyoyo, you¡¯re really innocent!¡±Zi Ran looked at her with a smile and said,¡±Do you think the brooch that Sister Anhao is wearing is an inconspicuous little thing that can be casually left there for others to take?¡±¡± ¡°Besides, how can you not recognize such an expensive thing? This is a world-famous gem.¡±Zi Ran said as she picked up the brooch.¡±Do you know how much this brooch costs? Compared to your broken diamond necklace and gold bracelet, it¡¯s more than a few hundred times more expensive.¡± ¡°Zi Ran, don¡¯t be so mysterious here!¡±¡± Gu Anhao is just an ordinary college student who came back from studying abroad,¡± Xiao Qiu said angrily.¡± Even if she¡¯s not poor enough to beg for food, she¡¯s definitely not rich enough to buy such expensive jewelry! This was at most a diamond brooch! How can it be so expensive!¡± ¡± So you¡¯ve carefully studied this brooch. So you also know that it¡¯s a diamond?¡±Zi Ran said in surprise,¡± It seems like you¡¯ve observed Sister Anhao¡¯s jewelry quite a bit. In fact, you¡¯ve already made up your mind to steal it. Then, you¡¯re calling her ¡®thief, thief!¡¯ right?¡±¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t steal it!¡± Qiu was trembling with anger. I don¡¯t like her broken brooch!¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be that he¡¯s really my favorite ¡± The other female colleagues whispered,¡±¡±I seem to have seen it in a jewelry magazine before. If you buy all of that set, it will cost a total of 60 million, and it seems to be in US dollars! If this brooch was real, it would be quite expensive. It was impossible Could it be a high-quality imitation?¡± Xiao Qiu looked at the brooch on her desk in surprise. Although it was placed next to her necklace, which was made of diamonds, her originally beautiful necklace seemed dull next to the brooch. On the other hand, the brooch that looked low-key and not too eye-catching was especially dazzling. ¡°If such a cheap necklace can make you so excited, it¡¯s no wonder you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡±Zi Ran continued to assist. She took out her phone from her pocket and casually searched on the Internet. After searching for the official website of the main brand, Heart¡¯s Favorite, she found the picture of the brooch. Then, she turned her phone around to let everyone see the brooch on the screen clearly.¡±Look carefully. The brooch in the picture is the one on the desk. Look at the price!¡± Seeing the price displayed on the brooch, not to mention the other colleagues in the office, even Minister Qin was shocked. 1.36 million USD! That was 8.2 million yuan! Minister Qin knew that Gu Anhao was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s subordinate, so this item could not be fake. He looked up at Gu Anhao¡¯s calm expression and began to admire her composure. She was wearing such an expensive item, but she did not show off at all. Moreover, she did not show off her vanity. It was rare. ¡°Ha!¡± Xiao Qiu believed it was impossible when she saw the price. She smiled and said,¡±Even if this brooch is the same as the one in the picture, it can¡¯t be real. Everyone knows the high level of imitation in our country. Just a casual imitation will look very similar. At most, it will be a real diamond. You must be joking!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Was he afraid that he had stolen something so valuable that he didn¡¯t dare to admit that it was true?¡±Zi Ran smiled and said,¡±Is it really enough to find a jewelry appraiser?¡±¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to appraise it.¡± Anhao said. Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Xiao Qiu looked at her proudly.¡±¡±As expected, this is a counterfeit. You¡¯re feeling guilty!¡± ¡°Director Gu doesn¡¯t want to delay everyone¡¯s time to attend the celebration party. Why are you saying that you¡¯re guilty?¡±Minister Qin suddenly frowned and glared at Xiao Qiu.¡±No matter if that brooch is real or fake, it¡¯s someone else¡¯s personal possession. Why would it appear in your drawer and hide in a box that no one would usually notice? You haven¡¯t given everyone an accurate explanation until now, and you¡¯ve been constantly bringing contradictions to Director Gu.¡± After being lectured by Minister Qin, Xiao Qiu looked at him with an ugly expression.¡±¡±Chief, you can¡¯t just defend Gu Anhao like this! Those things really shouldn¡¯t be in my drawer. I clearly put them .¡± Her voice suddenly stopped. ¡°What did you do to them?¡± Anhao asked with a smile.¡± ¡°I clearly ¡± Xiao Qiu gritted her teeth.¡± I clearly remember that the jewelry was always in my bag. How could it be here? Someone must be trying to frame me!¡±¡± ¡± Minister Qin, the surveillance camera is broken now. There is no strong evidence to prove the cause and truth of this matter. I think it¡¯s better to put it on hold for now and resolve it tomorrow after the banquet. After all, President Zuo of Shengling Group is attending tonight. It doesn¡¯t seem good for us to be absent like this ¡± the secretary behind Minister Qin said softly. Minister Qin nodded coldly and was about to speak when Anhao said,¡±¡±The camera isn¡¯t actually broken. Who says that the camera¡¯s red light doesn¡¯t light up? As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Xiao Qiu¡¯s already awkward expression turned pale. Anhao looked at Qiu¡¯s back at the same time.¡±¡±In order not to delay everyone from attending tonight¡¯s banquet, Qiu, I¡¯ll give you two choices. One, tell me why your jewelry is hidden in your drawer, and why my brooch is with you. Second, tell everyone the truth.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, the truth is that I didn¡¯t take your things. I don¡¯t know why my jewelry that I lost is with you!¡±Xiao Qiu looked at her coldly and said,¡±There¡¯s no truth. The truth is that I have no idea what¡¯s going on. I clearly lost something. I¡¯m the victim!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Then I¡¯ll give you a third option. Tell me, between 5:30 pm and 5:50 pm the day before yesterday, you and Xiao Huan from our design department suddenly appeared outside the office more than an hour after work. Why did you come back?¡±¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Xiao Qiu¡¯s face instantly turned pale. Xiao Huan, who was hiding in the crowd, also looked at Anhao in disbelief. Chapter 691 - Chapter 691: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (7) Chapter 691: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (7) Translator: 549690339 Gu Anhao was actually so accurate with the time. Could it be that she had really seen the surveillance footage? Could it be that the camera really wasn¡¯t broken? Xiao Qiu was in disbelief. She looked at Anhao, who had a calm expression on her face, and then at Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan quickly turned his face away, not daring to look at her. Xiao Qiu¡¯s action immediately caught Minister Qin¡¯s attention. He narrowed his eyes at her.¡±What happened? What was the truth that Director Gu was talking about?¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face turned pale and she was speechless for a moment. Since Gu Anhao was able to tell the time so clearly, she must have seen the surveillance footage. If she was still lying, she would either be charged with stealing her brooch or being framed. If that brooch was really worth more than eight million, then he definitely could not admit to stealing it! No matter what, she was the one at a disadvantage. She had suffered a double loss. Gu Anhao had won completely! Moreover, it was no longer the time to lie. After all, if the camera was really not broken, after she lied, Gu Anhao would show the evidence in front of everyone. By then, she would ¡°Minister Qin ¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes reddened. Actually, it¡¯s just that I don¡¯t get along well with Gu Anhao. A few days ago, I even negotiated a price with her in the office. My colleagues can all testify to it. Last time, she even pinched my wrist until it turned red. It was inconvenient for me to type for a few days.¡± ¡°Get to the point!¡± Minister Qin hated her attitude of wanting to complain first. Xiao Qiu¡¯s eyes reddened again as she said in a low voice,¡±¡±Anyway, I don¡¯t have a good relationship with Gu Anhao. A few days ago, she even mocked my clothes and jewelry, so I I was impulsive and put my jewelry in the drawer of her desk after I got off work the day before yesterday .¡± Minister Qin frowned. Xiao Qiu knew what she was about to face, but even if she told the truth, she would never admit that she had stolen Gu Anhao¡¯s things! ¡°That day, I only asked Xiao Huan to help me guard the door. I went in to hide something. I clearly put the jewelry in Gu Anhao¡¯s drawer In the end, I didn¡¯t expect it to appear in my drawer today. Moreover, there¡¯s even her brooch. I really didn¡¯t take anything from her, Minister ¡± The leaders behind Minister Qin looked at Xiao Qiu as if she was a scum. They shook their heads and sighed.¡±The atmosphere of this society is really getting worse and worse ¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s shoulders shrank slightly when she heard that.¡±Chief, I admit that I was in the wrong first, but Gu Anhao also put the things back in my drawer to frame me. Even if I¡¯m guilty, she¡¯s guilty as well!¡± ¡°Stop dragging Sister Anhao into the water!¡± Zi Ran immediately reprimanded her,¡±Sister Anhao is giving her a taste of her own medicine. Do you understand?¡± You used such a shameless and filthy method to frame her and ruin her reputation. She was just learning how to return your things to you and at the same time, she used your method to leave her things with you. If not for that, would she have forced you to confess now?¡± Seeing that she couldn¡¯t drag Gu Anhao into the water, Xiao Qiu hardened her heart and said coldly,¡±¡±Anyway, Gu Anhao isn¡¯t a good person. Since she can do such a thing like me, she must have done many things behind my back. Also, she doesn¡¯t have any money at all, so how could she afford such expensive jewelry? So I suspect that she must have stolen it somewhere.¡± ¡°Do you think you haven¡¯t embarrassed yourself enough?¡±¡±You¡¯ve disgraced everyone in the office on this floor!¡± Minister Qin¡¯s face turned cold. Xiao Qiu, you¡¯re just a top student who came back from studying abroad. Why are you so stubborn? Why did you do such a despicable thing to frame Director Gu?¡± ¡°Minister Qin, you can¡¯t be so selfish! Even if Gu Anhao had an affair with you, you can¡¯t just let her go like this! Why don¡¯t you think about it? If Gu Anhao is really related to you, where did she get such an expensive brooch? Is she still being kept by another man? What if she cuckolded you ¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Minister Qin was so angry that he cursed,¡±Who said that I have a relationship with Director Gu?¡± In my eyes, Director Gu is just a child who has just entered the government. Do you think she¡¯s like you, calling me to take the initiative to ask for unspoken rules?!¡± Xiao Qiu¡¯s face stiffened. She looked at Minister Qin, who was on the verge of exploding in disbelief. Now that she had already made herself even more angry, she didn¡¯t care anymore. She sneered and asked,¡±If you have nothing to do with her, why are you protecting her everywhere?!¡± ¡°A person like you should be taken away by the police immediately, but since you¡¯ve already said such harsh words, I don¡¯t mind telling you that Director Gu¡¯s background is much bigger than you think. However, Director Gu is a low-key person and never shows off her background. She came in on her own. At that time, we didn¡¯t know what her background was like.!¡± ¡°What kind of background can she have?¡± Xiao Qiu asked unwillingly. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to know what kind of background Director Gu has.¡±Minister Qin¡¯s voice was cold.¡± We¡¯ll call the police station immediately and ask them to take you away to investigate this matter. The atmosphere of the design department has been ruined by you!¡±¡± After that, Minister Qin looked at the security guards outside the door who had come over to listen to the situation and said,¡±Take this woman away and wait for the police in the security room. Don¡¯t let her appear in front of me again!¡± The security guard rushed over and took Xiao Qiu away. Xiao Qiu struggled as she turned around and shouted,¡±Minister Qin! You¡¯re biased! Gu Anhao is a pauper. She is a pauper who sleeps with others. She doesn¡¯t have any background at all. Don¡¯t be deceived by her! Her jewelry was all high-quality imitations! Minister, you have to keep your eyes open!¡± Minister Qin waved his hand impatiently, signaling for the security guards to take him away.¡±Hurry up and take him away. My head hurts from listening to him.¡± It was not until Xiao Qiu was taken away that Zi Ran whispered to Anhao,¡±¡±Sister Anhao, did you really check the surveillance cameras?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± No, the surveillance camera is indeed broken.¡±¡± ¡°Broken? Then how did you know what time Qiu came the night before? And he even said the time so accurately? You even know that Xiao Huan came with her? You can¡¯t really be so great that you¡¯ve opened your third eye, right?¡± In the face of Zi Ran¡¯s surprised question, Anhao glanced at her colleagues who were equally curious, including Minister Qin, and immediately smiled indifferently. Chapter 692 - Chapter 692: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (8) Chapter 692: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (8) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked at Xiao Huan, who was being looked down upon by everyone in the crowd.¡±¡±The surveillance camera is indeed broken and didn¡¯t record your actions. But don¡¯t forget that this is Political F. There are security guards at every door of Political F. I just need to ask casually who has been here after work for the past few days and I can easily grasp the time of your crime.¡± Under everyone¡¯s surprised gazes, Anhao continued,¡±¡±I only said that Xiao Qiu and Xiao Huan came after five-thirty the night before yesterday, but Xiao Qiu was so scared that she admitted the truth. When a person is guilty, they can¡¯t see too many loopholes. They¡¯ll only be scared to give themselves away because of a little movement.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all for now. I¡¯ll go to the police station tomorrow to check on the situation.¡±Minister Qin spoke at the right time.¡± Everyone, calm down. Clean up your messy drawers. Get down to the car and attend the celebration party in ten minutes. Don¡¯t let these small incidents affect your business tonight.¡±¡± Hearing that Minister Qin still wanted them to go to the celebration party, the colleagues who had been secretly depressed immediately frowned. No one was sad that Xiao Qiu had been taken away. Only Xiao Huan obediently walked out of the crowd after being glared at by Minister Qin. She took the initiative to follow another security guard outside the door. Anhao turned to look at the other colleagues in the office. Sure enough, even if Xiao Qiu treated them to food and bought them all kinds of gifts to win their popularity and hearts, this society was so realistic. No one would do anything for you just because of these small favors. If you only cared about friends who were just for show, then your feelings could only be put on show and could never be taken seriously. ¡°Sister Anhao, are you going to change your clothes? I prepared two sets of gowns in my car because I was afraid that you would wear them too casually tonight. I specially borrowed them from my sister because her size is about the same as yours. Many of her gowns are new. They haven¡¯t even been removed from the label. You can try them on in my car.¡±Zi Ran said as she pulled Anhao out. Anhao¡¯s phone rang at the same time. When she saw that the caller ID was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private number, she smiled at Zi Ran.¡±No need. I¡¯ve already ordered a dress. I¡¯ll wear it in a while.¡± ¡°You¡¯re only trying now? Where was he? Was it far from the venue of the celebration party? Won¡¯t it take up too much time?¡± Anhao looked at the time. Indeed, it was already very late. If everyone rushed over at this time, they would probably be late by a few minutes. If she went to try on the dress now and rushed over by car, she would probably be late by at least half an hour. However, he was going with Zuo Hancheng. No one would blame him if he was late. Although Zuo Hancheng was very strict about time and would never be late for important events and meetings, he would still be giving a lot of face to a small-scale dinner party like this, even if he was only there to show his face and left in less than a minute. Anhao smiled at Zi Ran again.¡± It¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll rush over as soon as possible. You guys go ahead.¡±¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Seeing that Anhao really wanted to leave alone, Zi Ran could only let go of her.¡±Then I¡¯ll wait for you. You must go! Otherwise, I¡¯ll be very lonely by myself!¡± ¡°Got it. Hurry up and go.¡± Anhao gave her a gentle push and turned around to pick up the phone while everyone was walking out. ¡°You¡¯re ten minutes late.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead helplessly.¡±¡±I just solved a small problem in the office and just got some time. I¡¯ll rush over immediately.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up?¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Anhao hung up the phone and turned around to leave in a hurry. The last time he tried the dress, the room, the room, he saw Zuo Hancheng sitting in front of the door, by the window, VVIP lounge, sitting on the sofa, and it looked like he had indeed waited for her for a while. The staff brought coffee over and put it in front of him, but he didn¡¯t drink it, just that there were two business newspapers that he casually read on the side. The place where he sat was very quiet. Other than the staff who served him coffee, no one dared to disturb him. Anhao leaned against the glass window and knocked on it. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her in front of the window. When he saw Anhao deliberately leaning against the glass window and smiling at him, he thought that he would be shocked, but he did not know that he was smiling foolishly. Zuo Hancheng raised his lips slightly and put down the other newspaper in his hand. He gave her a look, signaling her to go in and change into her gown. Anhao knew that she couldn¡¯t waste any more time, so she turned around and pushed the door open. The staff immediately welcomed her and brought her inside to change her gown and hairstyle. ¡°Hey, do you guys think Gu Anhao¡¯s brooch is really the legendary pet of the heart? How can she be so rich?¡± When the female colleagues from the design department arrived at the venue of the celebration party, they were not the main topic because the party had already started. They stood in groups of three to five with cakes and wine glasses in their hands and chatted about what had happened in the office today. ¡°Yeah, from what Minister Qin said, Gu Anhao and him didn¡¯t have any unspoken rules. Besides, Gu Anhao¡¯s background seems to be very powerful. No matter how powerful she is, she shouldn¡¯t be able to make the person-in-charge of the political F give her so much face.¡± ¡°Could it be that the person behind her is giving her the love of her life?¡± ¡± No way. I heard that the world-famous ¡®Love of the Heart¡¯ was bought by the same person a long time ago. It was no longer available on the market a few years ago. Everyone can only see the appearance of that set of jewelry in the album .¡± ¡°Hey, tell me, what happened to Qiu today was so exciting. I didn¡¯t expect Gu Anhao to be so ruthless to the point where Qiu couldn¡¯t jump around anymore. She¡¯s usually a quiet person, but she was so good at fighting a few days ago.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Qiu¡¯s own fault. She keeps finding trouble with Gu Anhao for no reason. Gu Anhao has always been calm enough. This can be considered as letting Qiu know how powerful she is. Anyway, no one will dare to offend her in the future ¡± ¡°I¡¯m more curious about whether Gu Anhao will come or not.¡± ¡°She should be, but she seems to be really late. After all, this is a celebration party organized by the political F for us. How could she have the face to be late .¡± A few female colleagues had already talked about Gu Anhao¡¯s matter to the point that they couldn¡¯t wait to gossip about Gu Anhao¡¯s background. Suddenly, the noise at the main entrance of the venue fell silent. A few people in the venue whispered to the people around them,¡±¡±President Zuo is here-¡° Chapter 693 - Chapter 693: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (9) Chapter 693: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (9) Translator: 549690339 When Anhao appeared at the celebration Banquet with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm in her hand, the rotating lights shone on them. Anhao had actually made a lot of mental preparations before she came, including the fact that she had insisted on not revealing her relationship with Zuo Hancheng to the public in the car. Her small business had just started expanding, and she really did not want to be branded as Zuo Hancheng¡¯s woman again just as it was developing in a good direction. In an instant, all her hard work would be wasted. Everyone would think that everything she had was given to her by Zuo Hancheng. In the future, everyone would only see her as Mrs. Zuo, and not her hard work. However, in the car, Zuo Hancheng did not agree with her idea. He only told her,¡±¡±The words Mrs. Zuo won¡¯t let you suffer.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s true that I won¡¯t suffer a loss.¡±Anhao admitted that this was the truth.¡± A lot of trouble won¡¯t come to me because of these three words, but people¡¯s recognition of me will also turn into thinking that I relied on you to climb up. This feeling is very frustrating.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not hold back at all.¡±¡±Without me, can you study abroad?¡± ¡°Without me, would you be able to decide to study architectural design that suits you?¡± ¡°Without me, would you have been able to get to where you are today?¡± Anhao was sullen for a long time before she said,¡± At least I was recruited by the government. Although you also interfered in this, most of it was because of my ability and my design level. It¡¯s impossible for you to help me out of personal gain.¡±¡± ¡°Indeed, your design skills are indeed on par with others. You¡¯re very outstanding, but you can¡¯t deny that you couldn¡¯t leave me along the way.¡±There was only a calm smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. However, there was a hint of smugness in his smile that Anhao had seen on him for the first time. She immediately held back her temper and said,¡±Whether you want to leave or not depends on whether you¡¯re willing to let go. If you have the ability, can you really let go completely for me to see?¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled.¡± Anhao paused for a moment. She remembered that every time she argued with him and provoked Zuo Hancheng, she was the one who had to pay the price. In the past, she didn¡¯t know what to say. Now, she knew what it meant to be a wise man, so she turned her head and looked out of the window without saying anything. Zuo Hancheng held her hand that was resting on her lap and caressed her empty ring finger gently. Feeling that he was holding onto the spot where she had once worn her wedding ring, Anhao instantly looked at him again. Actually, she was really curious why he confiscated her wedding ring. Since the divorce didn¡¯t go through, and the two of them seemed to be getting closer and closer again under this subtle influence, he confiscated the ring. What did this mean? Was this considered a normal marriage between the two of them, or was it in a state of half-separation? Wouldn¡¯t taking away the ring mean taking away her identity as Mrs. Zuo? However, she could not bring herself to ask. She only looked at him in confusion and tried to pull her hand away from his, but Zuo Hancheng had already held her firmly. ¡°Every time you wear a gown, you expose all your strengths to the public, especially after you came back from America.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her meaningfully as he spoke.¡±¡±Do you still remember those men who whistled at you at the exchange banquet in T City?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. I don¡¯t remember.¡± She said she didn¡¯t remember, but how could she really not remember? That time, he had kept a distance from Zuo Hancheng because of Bai Weiwei¡¯s presence. It was also because Zuo Hancheng had allowed her to sit beside him at the banquet that night that the men who had wanted to strike up a conversation with her did not dare to say anything more to her. Now that she thought about it, when Zuo Hancheng placed his arm behind her seat and made others think that there was some intimacy between them, his motive was not simple! This man was really black-bellied to the extreme! However, she did remember that she was wearing a tight-fitting dress at that time. It was not a formal dress, but because it was tight-fitting, it outlined her beautiful figure perfectly. Zuo Hancheng was indirectly praising her for developing better in the past few years. Anhao suddenly held back her laughter and said meaningfully,¡±¡±I rarely eat snacks in the United States these past few years.¡± Zuo Hancheng was still holding her hand, and his voice was clear.¡±So you¡¯re agreeing with what I said back then?¡± Eating too many snacks was not good for her growth. Of course, this growth referred to the two little buns on her chest. ¡°Mrs. Zuo is so eye-catching now. If I didn¡¯t reveal your identity earlier, do you think I would tolerate anyone hitting on you under any circumstances?¡± ¡°You¡¯re usually hit on by women at banquets, but now you¡¯re actually controlling me ¡± ¡°Then, Mrs. Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly pulled her gently and Anhao leaned against his shoulder. Just as she was about to sit down again, he turned to look at her with a faint smile.¡±In the future, no matter what the occasion is, you will go with me as my official female companion. Mrs. Zuo will go with me openly, and no woman will dare to flirt with me.¡± After all, there was something waiting for her here. She could no longer communicate with a two-faced man like Zuo Hancheng! However, when she thought about it carefully, the words ¡®Mrs. Zuo¡¯ had indeed brought her much better than her trying to prove herself every day. People should always be sensible. If she was too delicate, she would not be able to live up to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ¡± cultivation ¡°. Back when he was still a rebellious girl with a full set of punk equipment, he had already eliminated all the bad genes in her body. Now, he was more than half successful. Rather than saying that he was too possessive, it was better to say that Mr. Zuo, a low-key man who never showed his vanity, would also feel satisfied and proud because of her good ¡± results ¡°. It was even more rare for him to want to show off. He did not flaunt his wealth, status, family background, or achievements, but he liked to flaunt his wife. Was this considered an illness? Anhao thought to herself in frustration. However, she took the car all the way to the hotel where the celebration party was held. When she got out of the car, Zuo Hancheng stood by the car and did not enter immediately. Anhao walked behind him and was about to ask him why he was not leaving, but she saw that he had already extended his arm slightly to her. She was stunned for a moment. Under the envious and ambiguous gazes of the chauffeur and a few hotel greeters, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and put her hand in his arm. Walking on the red carpet outside the hotel, Anhao, who was initially a little nervous and conflicted, gradually calmed down after walking less than a hundred steps. She was even more pleased to accept Zuo Hancheng¡¯s way of straightening out her role and status. Chapter 694 - Chapter 694: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (10) Chapter 694: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (10) Translator: 549690339 Hence, when they walked into the venue and the lights shone on them, Anhao¡¯s hand was still firmly linked to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm, and she calmly met all the curious and even surprised gazes. Gasps could be heard and whispers could be heard in the venue. Facing those gazes, Anhao smiled calmly and generously. ¡°Oh my god!¡± ¡°Tian, tian, tian, tian Oh my god What was going on? Why was Gu Anhao here with President Zuo?¡± ¡°They actually look so intimate ¡± Many women¡¯s eyes and attention should have been on Zuo Hancheng, but the fact that Anhao and Zuo Hancheng appeared together was too surprising. The women were surprised that she actually came with Zuo Hancheng, and the men were surprised that the woman beside Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be any female companion that was rumored to be related to him. She was not even the legendary Bai Weiwei. Anhao was still wearing the same white gown that she had tried on before. However, after her suggestion that day, a natural translucent chiffon strap was added to the gown. It was decorated with a few three-dimensional flowers of different sizes, which matched perfectly with the three-dimensional flowers on the hem of her gown. However, the gown that originally looked pure and sexy suddenly looked conservative and more charming. It was obvious that the designer had put in a lot of effort and that the gown complemented her perfectly. Under the guidance of the greeters and the staff, Anhao held Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm as they walked down the stairs on the red carpet. Although the rotating lights had moved away, it still did not change the fact that they were being stared at by almost everyone. Anhao politely smiled and nodded at a few colleagues who were standing not far away, who were so shocked that their jaws were about to drop. Then, she tilted her head and smiled at Zi Ran, who was in shock. When she walked into the crowd, Minister Qin, who understood the situation, was the first to welcome her.¡±Mr. Zuo, Director Gu, the two of you are finally here. The leaders of the construction department and our provincial leaders are waiting inside. This .¡± Minister Qin said as he looked at Anhao. When Anhao met his gaze, he smiled politely at her and said,¡±¡±Director Gu, I don¡¯t know if I should change the way I address you Isn¡¯t it a little too unfamiliar to keep calling you Director Gu?¡± As soon as Minister Qin finished speaking, the colleagues who heard him and the other people who knew Anhao in the political department started whispering to each other in surprise. ¡°What other identity does she have? Could it be that he was raised by CEO Zuo after meeting him a few times ¡± ¡± It¡¯s possible. Maybe that brooch of the apple of her eye has something to do with President Zuo. Aiya, no wonder Gu Anhao usually keeps a low profile. It turns out that she¡¯s also a mistress ¡± ¡± Aiya, even if I¡¯m a mistress, I¡¯m willing to be a mistress behind a man like Zuo Hancheng for the rest of my life ¡± ¡°So, Gu Anhao will arrive later than us, which means she will come with Zuo Hancheng? No wonder she was so calm back then. It turned out that President Zuo was her backer!¡± ¡°It seems that Xiao Qiu is right. Even if it has nothing to do with Minister Qin, she still got to the top by sleeping with him. What¡¯s the difference between accompanying Minister Qin and President Zuo? At most, the man she serves is of an unknown level ¡± ¡°Your words are so sour. If it were you, would you not want to sleep with Zuo Hancheng in front of you?¡± ¡± Oh my, how annoying. Even though Zuo Hancheng¡¯s husband was the national idol, he had brought Gu Anhao to attend the event in public. Furthermore, Gu Anhao had obviously appeared as a proper female companion. This was simply unbelievable. Don¡¯t you know that Zuo Hancheng had almost never brought a female companion to public events?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Qiu said a few days ago? Women, even if you want to sleep with them, you have to rank them accordingly. If you do it well, the effect will be very different. Gu Anhao¡¯s outfit alone is worth millions. This is just a small celebration party. It¡¯s so enviable ¡± Although the voices around them were not very loud, no one dared to make any noise because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s appearance. Anhao happened to see that her colleagues seemed to be talking, so she deliberately listened. When she heard what they were talking about, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, her eyes saying,¡± See, who said that if I appear with you, I will definitely be recognized as Mrs. Zuo? No one dares to think that way! Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was directed at her colleagues at the same time. When they noticed that Zuo Hancheng was looking at them, the female colleagues immediately raised their hands to cover their chests, their hearts tensed up.¡±Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh President Zuo is actually looking at us!¡± ¡°Oh my god, he¡¯s really looking at us ¡± ¡°Ahhh, he¡¯s walking towards us ¡± ¡°It¡¯s getting closer, it¡¯s getting closer!¡± When Zuo Hancheng and Anhao walked up to them, the female colleagues were still looking at him in disbelief. They whispered behind him,¡±¡± I can¡¯t believe I was less than three meters away from Prince Charming Zuo before I was born. I must be dreaming. Quick, pinch me ¡± ¡°Sister Anhao!¡± When Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked over, Zi Ran hurriedly walked out from the crowd and came to the front. She looked at her in surprise and then looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was standing in the crowd and no one dared to criticize him. She could not help but ask,¡±So you¡¯re President Zuo¡¯s date today?¡± This Zi Ran As expected of an honest child Anhao laughed at her straightforwardness. Not only is the female companion in the game, but it is also in the game. Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear and deep voice had already attracted everyone¡¯s attention. When Anhao turned to look at him in surprise, she felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand gently wrap around her waist, declaring his ownership in a more intimate and reliable posture in front of everyone. His eyes were calm as the people around him gasped. His voice was clear and melodious.¡±I haven¡¯t had the chance to introduce my wife, Gu Anhao.¡± Bada- Someone¡¯s phone fell to the ground. There was a strange silence around them. Even Minister Qin, who knew the truth, did not dare to say anything for a long time because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s public introduction and Anhao¡¯s surprised but calm gaze. Seeing the attitude of these people, Anhao carefully reached her hand behind Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back and poked his back with her finger. She turned around and whispered,¡±¡±You should at least give him some mental preparation? Our Little Ziran was scared by you!¡± Chapter 695 - Chapter 695: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (11) Chapter 695: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (11) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng glanced at the young lady who was standing beside them with her mouth agape in shock. Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±Your friend?¡± ¡°Yes, a very generous young lady. She¡¯s also the colleague who has always been the most protective of me in our office.¡±Anhao replied softly. Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao¡¯s calm but still somewhat uncomfortable expression again. He smiled faintly and turned to face those who were still shocked.¡± I¡¯m here today to accompany my wife to the first real celebration party in her life. You can do whatever you need to do. After all, the theme tonight is the design department of Zheng F, not Shengling Group. I¡¯m here as an escort, so I won¡¯t disturb your fun.¡± Bada- Someone else¡¯s phone or handbag fell to the ground. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng had already held Anhao¡¯s hand and was about to lead her away from the crowd in the corner. After all, the banquet hall was so big, and the people who came today were of uneven status. The organizers would definitely arrange a separate lounge for Zuo Hancheng. As Anhao and Zuo Hancheng turned around and were about to leave, the colleagues who seemed to have been pressed on the pause button suddenly started to whisper questions. ¡°How is that possible!¡± ¡°How could Gu Anhao be Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife? Is President Zuo joking with us?¡± Zi Ran was still in a daze as she looked at them for a long time. However, when she saw that Anhao and Zuo Hancheng had already left, she did not go forward to disturb them. She only turned around and glared at those who were still suspicious.¡±The truth is right in front of us. Can you stop being like a scumbag like Qiu and speculating about other people¡¯s lives all day? Sister Anhao had a low-key personality and would never show off in front of everyone. Just now, it was obvious that President Zuo was emphasizing Sister Anhao¡¯s identity. Sister Anhao did not say a word. There were also reporters at the venue. Would President Zuo make such a joke in front of the reporters?¡± ¡± But that¡¯s impossible. How could Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao ¡± ¡°Alright, stop talking.¡± Minister Qin turned around and stopped the employees from arguing.¡±Director Gu is indeed Mrs. Zuo. As for whether you believe it or not, it¡¯s obviously not within the scope of President Zuo and Director Gu¡¯s mind. If it weren¡¯t for Director Gu¡¯s face, do you think President Zuo would stand here and talk nonsense with you?¡± ¡°Minister Qin, you didn¡¯t know about it, did you?¡± Minister Qin glared at them with an ugly expression.¡±¡±Are you done? Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. This is a celebration party, not a gossip party. Go do what you should do. Don¡¯t gather here to discuss other people¡¯s matters. The leaders of the Construction Bureau and Shengling Group are here today. Don¡¯t embarrass the political department. Let¡¯s go!¡± The group of people dispersed with disappointment because they did not manage to get the truth out of her. In the end, there were still many people standing in groups of three to five, quietly discussing why Gu Anhao was with Zuo Hancheng. A few media personnel who were filming at the side were also discussing,¡±The female companion that President Zuo brought was quite beautiful, but why does she look so familiar?¡± Anhao had already followed Zuo Hancheng into the resting room next to the banquet hall. The leaders of the government and the Construction Bureau were discussing matters with Zuo Hancheng outside the door. Anhao found a comfortable sofa in the resting room and sat down. She picked up the candy on the plate beside her and peeled one and put it in her mouth. There was a small window above the resting room. There was protective glass on it. The people outside could not see what was going on inside the resting room, but they could see the outside from inside. Anhao stood in front of the small window and looked out. She saw that the shock and confusion of the people at the venue had calmed down a lot. Everyone began to carry out the rules of the celebration party in an orderly manner, and Minister Qin and the others were giving a speech on behalf of the construction department of the government. Anhao stood in the lounge, thinking that it would be inappropriate for her to not join the celebration as the head of the design department. However, she noticed that the media were recording the event and they were looking in the direction of the lounge from time to time. They seemed to be discussing her and Zuo Hancheng. Anhao was hesitating whether she should go out or not when she suddenly felt a warmth on her waist. Zuo Hancheng had returned to the resting room and placed his hand on the spot where she had been injured. His voice was clear and low,¡±¡±Does your waist still hurt? Can you hold on?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. Anyway, I¡¯m just walking and sitting. There¡¯s no excessive exercise.¡±Anhao said as she pointed in the direction outside the window.¡±The media seems to have recognized me.¡± Zuo Hancheng also looked outside. ¡°In the past three years, although the media has changed a lot, they still have the innate sensitivity of the media. Previously, when you were a political designer, no one paid too much attention to your past and your image. Now, they just remembered that I did have a wife. Gradually, they recalled the media dispute three years ago and soon remembered who you were.¡± Anhao continued to look outside.¡± So they already know that I¡¯m the Mrs. Zuo who appeared in the media three years ago?¡±¡± ¡°They¡¯ve already reached this stage. If they still haven¡¯t thought of it, then they don¡¯t have to rely on the media anymore.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold as he looked outside. Anhao pursed her lips speechlessly.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, your plan is really good. A celebration party for the design department like ours is not very eye-catching, but because you and the leaders of the political department are here, the party is much more high-class. On one hand, you have given the political department enough face, and on the other hand, you have made people know my identity. How am I going to survive in the design industry in the future?¡± ¡°As long as you are full of talent, there is no difference whether you publicize it or not.¡± ¡°How can there be no difference? In the future, no matter if my design drawings are good or bad, they will definitely give you face. Even if I only draw a simple sketch, people will definitely praise me to the heavens because of the words Mrs. Zuo. Then, wouldn¡¯t I have wasted my three years of studying in America?¡± ¡°As long as it¡¯s related to architectural design, would you draw so casually?¡± ¡± I won¡¯t.¡± ¡± Since you won¡¯t, you can continue with your work. The only thing ahead is that there will be more and more people making way for you. As long as you are confident that your work is fine, what difference does it make whether others make way for you or not?¡± ¡± Don¡¯t you think I¡¯ll lose my job if I do this? Who would dare to let me go to work in the future? I¡¯m Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Which company would dare to hire me?!¡±Anhao raised her finger and pointed at her own face.¡±People will say that wherever I go. Ah, isn¡¯t that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife?!¡± Chapter 696 - Chapter 696: She’s Actually Mrs. Zuo (12) Chapter 696: She¡¯s Actually Mrs. Zuo (12) Translator: 549690339 ¡°People will also ask if Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife is here to steal business secrets. Hurry up and chase him away!¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I think of this when I was in school? I might be better off in front of those who are afraid of you. If I accidentally enter one of your competitors ¡®companies one day, will I be beaten up? What? Zuo Hancheng, will I be beaten up? What? Would he beat him up? Say something! Ah?¡± As Anhao spoke, she turned to glare at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing that he was smiling deeply, she immediately looked at him with a serious expression.¡±I¡¯m talking about a very serious problem. Don¡¯t laugh.¡± ¡°Who can beat you up?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°With my meager martial arts skills, although I won¡¯t be at a disadvantage in fights occasionally, if I encounter a strong opponent like you, I¡¯m obviously an embroidered fist, okay?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands were about to hug her again. When Anhao noticed his intention and turned to glare at him, she felt that her back was about to be broken by him, and her entire body was about to be squeezed into his body. ¡°What are you doing ¡± When she felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze on the door of the lounge, she immediately understood his intentions. She immediately raised her hands and turned his face away from the door,¡±¡±Don¡¯t close the door!¡± ¡°You like to let others see it?¡± He chuckled and gently kissed her ear.¡±It¡¯s been too long since I¡¯ve tested your embroidered fist. Do you have the heart to make me wait?¡± ¡°Cough This is still the venue of the celebration banquet. You can¡¯t possibly want to ¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask for it when I get home?¡± Zuo Hancheng interrupted her and smiled deeply as he grasped the main point. Anhao blushed and pushed him away.¡±¡±Who wants it I mean, you can¡¯t be acting like a hooligan here. I¡¯m the director of the design department after all. I have to go on stage later. Don¡¯t mess up my clothes ¡± As she spoke, she reached out to push Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand away from her waist. Not only did Zuo Hancheng not let go, but he also kissed her ear gently.¡±Mrs. Zuo, do you really think your husband is a saint? Isn¡¯t your waist injury dragging on for too long? Why don¡¯t you go to the hospital tonight and let the doctor take a look?¡± ¡°Are you saying that I¡¯m pretending to have a backache? Zuo Hancheng, be reasonable. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how badly I fell back then! Do I have to pretend!¡± Anhao stared at him in disbelief. Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and pressed his forehead against hers.¡±¡±This is the first time in my life that I¡¯m not willing to be reasonable!¡± Before Anhao could react, she suddenly felt her feet rise into the air. Zuo Hancheng suddenly picked her up and placed her on a sandalwood table by the small window. The decorative books on the table scattered all over the floor in an instant. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She felt as if she was being firmly restrained while sitting on the table. She was originally a lot shorter than Zuo Hancheng, but she was actually as tall as him when she sat on the table. She was even more surprised when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kisses swept over her The blood in Anhao¡¯s body boiled to the extreme in an instant, and in the end, it almost dried up and solidified. She was lost in her thoughts because of his sudden kiss. Behind her was the venue of the celebration party, and beside her was a small window that allowed her to see everything outside, even though the people outside could not see inside, and even though the door of the lounge had already closed automatically. Wait a minute! Why was the door closed? Anhao¡¯s gaze immediately shifted downwards and saw a small remote control beside the table. Could it be that Zuo Hancheng had pressed the switch of the remote control when he carried her up just now? Could the door of the lounge be remotely controlled? Anhao suddenly felt a sharp pain on the tip of her tongue, and she snapped back to reality. Zuo Hancheng was biting her tongue lightly as punishment for her distraction. Anhao felt her heart burning as soon as she met his gaze. Moreover, because there was a celebration party outside, she felt as if she was floating in the lounge. She felt soft, numb, and hot. Sitting on the table, her feet were in the air, and her entire body was almost restrained by Zuo Hancheng, so she would not fall off the table. However, the feeling of completely relying on him to support her body made Anhao¡¯s temperature rise from head to toe. Zuo Hancheng was not in a hurry to do anything to her. Even though the door was closed and no one could see what was happening inside, he just kissed her patiently. Anhao¡¯s mind was buzzing with everything that had happened between them. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice echoed in her ears. ¡°We will never get a divorce.¡± ¡°I will never let you have nothing.¡± She gradually closed her eyes and allowed herself to feel the love and kindness that was greater than she had imagined. Her hands that were frozen on both sides of her body slowly raised and circled around his neck, slowly testing out a response. After the kiss, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips left, but his forehead was still pressed against hers. Their breaths intertwined. Anhao¡¯s pink lips looked a lot more swollen now, but they were more rosy and sexy than any lipstick. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes darkened, and his hand caressed the back of her head, not giving her a chance to escape. He stared at the light that was gradually growing in her clear eyes. ¡°Mrs. Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was low and husky, but it was so sexy that Anhao trembled slightly. ¡°Hmm?¡± She replied in a low voice. Her voice was so hoarse that it gave her a shock. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction. He ran his hand through her hair and held her small face. He asked softly,¡±¡±When do you plan to return my child to me?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes darkened. Did he mean that she had lost their child back then, so now she needed to make it up to him with another one? ¡°Waist ¡± Anhao whispered,¡±That ¡± Is it not suitable to get pregnant before the waist injury recovers?¡± ¡°How long do you want to use the excuse of your waist injury? A month? Two months? A year? Two years?¡± Anhao blushed.¡± What if I¡¯m not ready to be a mother?¡± You also know that I¡¯m actually not much different from back then. Actually, I¡¯m still quite unreliable ¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re not ready.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her with a meaningful expression as she looked up in surprise. He smiled lightly and ran his palm through her hair. He placed it on the back of her head and gently kissed her lips again. When Anhao trembled slightly because of his sudden gentle and patient kiss, he kissed the most sensitive part of her ear and said in a low voice while she was trembling,¡±¡±How long do you want to drag this out? Hmm?¡± Chapter 697 - Chapter 697: Three Thousand in Weak Water (1) Chapter 697: Three Thousand in Weak Water (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao quickly raised her hand and pushed him gently. There are so many people outside . ¡°You still want to go out?¡± Zuo Hancheng whispered in her ear in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±You only need to show your face in front of people once tonight. You don¡¯t need to participate in any other activities, but you¡¯ve already occupied enough headlines tonight.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a celebrity, why would I need the headlines?¡±Anhao¡¯s ears were so sensitive that her entire body was trembling and she couldn¡¯t stand the itch. She carefully shrunk her neck and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not only Mrs. Zuo tonight, I¡¯m also the head of the design department. You said that the name Mrs. Zuo wouldn¡¯t affect my work, but now I have the right to monopolize it and don¡¯t need to appear.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her. Anhao¡¯s face was flushed red due to the tide of love, and her eyes were filled with a hint of seductive beauty. Suddenly, she felt her chin being lifted, and Zuo Hancheng looked down at her. It was as if this was the first time in a long time that Zuo Hancheng had been so serious in front of her. It was as if the rebellious high school student in his mind had gradually been replaced by the mature Gu Anhao in front of him. An Hao felt that she had nowhere to hide under his deep black eyes. In the end, she could only raise her hand and try to pull his hand down.¡±If you keep looking at me like that, how am I going to go out later?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± Anhao stared at him. After all, he was still the great BOSS of the left. Even if he was domineering, there should be a limit, okay?¡± However, in the next moment, she was suddenly embraced by Zuo Hancheng. He did not use much strength, but he wrapped her in a gentle embrace as if he was hugging a treasure in the world. He kissed Anhao¡¯s ear and said,¡±I can¡¯t bear to show it to others.¡± Anhao was embarrassed. Unwilling? Was it because Zuo Hancheng had been practicing the Divine Art of Sweet Words alone for the past three years, or was he really reluctant to part with her? However, Anhao did not want to push him away at this moment. She leaned into his arms and felt his warmth. Her heart seemed to have settled down in an instant. The past few years were hazy, the past few years were lost, and all the fantasies about the future were because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s existence. It was as if she did not have to think about anything else. Even though she had learned many ways to support herself, even if she could stand on her own two feet, no woman could really reject a man like Zuo Hancheng. Besides, Zuo Hancheng had let her fly freely for the past three years. This proved that although his love was grand, he was never selfish enough to make her lose herself. Anhao closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder. She slowly raised her hand and hugged his waist. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed accurately on her lips again, Anhao suddenly felt Well . With her face so red, she probably had to hide inside and not go out However, just as Zuo Hancheng had carried her down from the table and was about to carry her to the double sofa with their necks intertwined, Anhao¡¯s heart thumped wildly. At this moment, a cautious voice came from outside the door. ¡°Director Zuo, Chief Chen from the Construction Bureau heard that you were here and is looking for you .¡± Zuo Hancheng paused and Anhao burst out laughing in his arms. She raised her head and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression of being unable to endure it any longer. She raised her hand and caressed the collar of his shirt that was messed up by her. She blushed and said,¡±¡±I know that you¡¯ve been focusing on the construction industry in recent years and have a lot of dealings with the Construction Bureau. Since Bureau Chief Chen heard that you were here, he must have something important.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at Anhao in his arms. He saw the hidden smile in her eyes and the blush on her face. Then, he looked at the gown that he had not taken off yet. ¡°Moreover, my waist injury hasn¡¯t recovered yet ¡± Anhao continued,¡± Even if you couldn¡¯t control yourself just now, you would have stopped in the end. Bureau Chief Chen, you saved yourself the trouble of taking a cold shower.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her meaningfully.¡±¡±Cold shower?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with provocation.¡±¡±Am I wrong?¡± ¡°I used to let you go time and time again, but you still have the title of a high school student. Now, do you think I will let you go so easily?¡±As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he helped her up from the sofa. Anhao¡¯s hair was slightly messy. She looked up and saw Zuo Hancheng lifting his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears. She felt that she could not stand his gentle actions. ¡°The waist injury still needs to be appraised. Don¡¯t think that you can get away with it easily.¡±Zuo Hancheng said as he adjusted her shoulder strap and helped her to stand up. After Anhao stood up, she quickly tidied up her gown and raised her hand to touch her mouth.¡±Is the lipstick that they gave me when I was changing my gown gone?¡± Zuo Hancheng casually adjusted his sleeves and glanced at her mouth because of what she said. Seeing that he was just looking at her without saying anything, Anhao knew that it was pointless to ask. She originally wanted to use this to blame him for losing her lipstick. Later on, when others saw that her lips suddenly lost the color of her lipstick, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, others would still know what they had done in there. ¡°They specially put on makeup for me. If the color of my lips is too light, people will definitely see it.¡±Anhao complained as she lowered her head and pulled down her skirt. Suddenly, her waist tightened and she fell into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms again. Before she could react, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her again. It was so deep and heavy that she was so shocked that she did not have time to react. When she came back to her senses, the kiss had already ended. Zuo Hancheng let go of her and turned around to walk towards the door. Anhao raised her hand to caress her numb lips and looked at him angrily.¡±You¡¯re getting more and more excited the more I talk, aren¡¯t you ¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that your lips will be too pale?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked back at her and saw that her lips were getting redder and sexier. His eyes were calm.¡±Now I don¡¯t want to go in.¡± The corner of Anhao¡¯s eyes twitched violently, and the numbness on her lips was still there. How was it that the color of her lips was no longer so pale? She was clearly trying to tell everyone that she had just been kissed by Zuo Hancheng! Even if they were husband and wife, did they have to show off their love so openly? Wasn¡¯t he afraid that those women who secretly admired him would stab her with their eyes? Anhao quickly rummaged through her handbag. There was only her phone in it. There was no lipstick, not even a small mirror. She had no choice but to raise her hand to rub her mouth. She quickly followed Zuo Hancheng out of the door. Chapter 698 - Chapter 698: 3,000 in Ruo Shui (2) Chapter 698: 3,000 in Ruo Shui (2) Translator: 549690339 In the banquet hall, Bureau Chief Chen from the Construction Bureau was already walking towards them. Before Anhao could even walk to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, Bureau Chief Chen had already come forward to shake hands with Zuo Hancheng with a polite smile. Anhao slowed down her pace and didn¡¯t rush over to avoid disturbing their serious discussion. However, she could still hear their conversation from the side. First, they talked about how the reconstruction project of the gymnasium and cultural center had been going well so far. Then, they talked about how the leaders of Beijing were very concerned about the reconstruction project of A City in the past two years. They thanked Zuo Hancheng for his cooperation with the government and said that they would continue to work together in the future. However, Zuo Han had always replied in a calm manner. He was polite, not overly warm, but not overly cold. It was just a simple conversation between a businessman and a politician. Anhao heard that they were almost done chatting and was about to walk to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side when she suddenly heard Chief Chen say,¡±¡±Xiao Bai already told you, right? This weekend, we specially invited President Zuo and several leaders who participated in the reconstruction project. Everyone will have a meal together, and it won¡¯t take up much of President Zuo¡¯s time.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks when she heard Chief Chen call Bai Weiwei Xiao Bai. Chief Chen said directly,¡±¡±We know that President Zuo and Xiao Bai have a good relationship. We were worried that President Zuo¡¯s schedule was too full and he didn¡¯t have time to go, so we specially asked Xiao Bai to invite you.¡± ¡°Deputy Director Bai has indeed told me about this.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly as he looked back at Anhao, signaling her to go over. Anhao walked over, and Zuo Hancheng took her hand. When she got close to him, he turned to look at Bureau Chief Chen, who had a slightly different look in his eyes.¡±Chief Chen, if you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯ll bring my wife along. I wonder if I¡¯ll cause trouble?¡± Bureau Chief Chen looked at Anhao in surprise again. It took him a long time to digest Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. Then, he asked in surprise,¡±¡±Bringing his wife? This is Mrs. Zuo?¡± ¡°Hello,¡± Since Zuo Hancheng had already introduced her to the bureau chief, Anhao naturally would not show any fear. She smiled and nodded at Bureau Chief Chen.¡± I¡¯m Gu Anhao, the chief designer of the stadium and cultural center renovation project. I¡¯m also Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Thanks to the high regard of all the leaders, I have the opportunity to make a contribution to the province and the city. It¡¯s not the first time I¡¯ve met Chief Chen, but I still have to thank Chief Chen for giving me this opportunity.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao? Chief designer: Chief Chen looked at her and was even more surprised.¡±So it¡¯s you? After the interview, the people below showed me a few works that they were particularly satisfied with. Among them, there was a rather good design and proposal that was written by you?¡± Anhao smiled again.¡± Then it seems that Bureau Chief Chen and I are not strangers anymore.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng was satisfied with Anhao¡¯s sudden calm and generous attitude. He stood aside and let her do whatever she wanted. Bureau Chief Chen looked at Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±So Miss Gu is Mrs. Zuo? When did Mr. Zuo get married? We didn¡¯t even know.¡± ¡°It was many years ago. My wife is interested in architectural design, so she has been studying abroad for the past few years. I didn¡¯t find a suitable opportunity to introduce her to Chief Chen, so it¡¯s not too late to introduce her now.¡±Zuo Hancheng said as he looked at Anhao.¡±¡±Director Chen was the one who first decided on your audition. He¡¯s seen your information and photos, so it¡¯s indeed not the first time we¡¯ve met.¡± ¡°Then, thank you, Chief Chen.¡± Anhao smiled politely again as she looked at Director Chen, who was smiling awkwardly. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she could tell that Chief Chen seemed to have the intention of matchmaking Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei, she would not have reacted in such a way when Zuo Hancheng introduced her to Chief Chen. However, in front of a strong enemy, Gu Anhao had never had the habit of retreating. Bai Weiwei and Xiao Qiu were different. One was a strong enemy that would be difficult to deal with if they were to fight, while the other was a completely insignificant character. Therefore, their attitudes towards each other were naturally different. ¡°So President Zuo is married.¡±Bureau Chief Chen smiled at Anhao and said in a low voice,¡±¡±I¡¯ve always thought that President Zuo hasn¡¯t married yet, and you¡¯re in your early thirties, which is the right age for marriage. I originally planned to introduce you to someone, but now it seems that I¡¯ve gone overboard. I hope President Zuo and Mrs. Zuo don¡¯t mind.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Of course I don¡¯t mind. I¡¯ve been studying abroad for so many years, and I¡¯ve never officially accompanied my husband to any public events. Almost no one knows about my existence, but I think there will be more opportunities like this in the future. In two days, I¡¯ll go to the banquet organized by your bureau. I hope I won¡¯t disturb Chief Chen.¡± ¡°How could that be? President Zuo and Mrs. Zuo have graced us with your presence. Our humble house has been brightened. Mrs. Zuo is so generous and she is definitely a good wife. President Zuo¡¯s taste in choosing a wife is really high.¡± Chief Chen smiled and chatted with Zuo Hancheng for a while. Finally, when someone came to talk to Chief Chen, he excused himself and left. After Chief Chen left, the smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually faded. Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze beside her. She immediately turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was looking at her. ¡°What are you looking at? Are you unhappy that I blocked your peach blossom?¡±Anhao knew that it was Zuo Hancheng who had officially introduced her to the other party, but when she thought about the fact that the director was actually planning to matchmake Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei, she felt a little jealous. ¡°Why are you suddenly so proactive?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked with a smile. It was as if I could see the young and energetic Gu Anhao who had fought with Rong Xue back then.¡± Anhao snorted and said,¡± I heard Chief Chen talking about Bai Weiwei. I know that Bai Weiwei has a powerful background. She¡¯s also the Miss Bai who¡¯s doted on by thousands of colleagues in the Construction Bureau. I also know that if he gets the chance to matchmake you two, what am I?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. He seemed to be very satisfied with her angry expression. He was extremely satisfied. ¡°Your attitude in front of Chief Chen is worthy of praise. Now, you are indeed worthy of the words ¡®magnanimous¡¯. Mrs. Zuo, congratulations on finding your true position.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao could vaguely hear a hint of smugness in his voice. She immediately glanced at him and said,¡±¡±They invited you to a dinner party. Could it be that they were planning to expose the ¡®ambiguous¡¯ relationship between you and Bai Weiwei that day and then set you up? Could it be that the Construction Bureau and Shengling Group could have a marriage alliance?¡± Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and said in a clear and calm voice,¡±More or less.¡± Chapter 699 - Chapter 699: 3,000 RMB in Weak Water (3) Chapter 699: 3,000 RMB in Weak Water (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng curled his lips and said in a clear and calm voice,¡±More or less.¡± Anhao was about to say the word ¡°f ck¡±, but she swallowed it back. It was impossible for Bai Weiwei not to know about her relationship with Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, after seeing her and Zuo Hancheng come out of the private garden in Hua Ting, she even took the initiative to invite him to the dinner party. How dare you snatch her so brazenly! He really did not take Gu Anhao seriously at all! Although the Bai family had a high status and power, and there was indeed no need to take a small character like her seriously, wasn¡¯t the moral bottom line of a person more important? ¡°Sister Anhao ¡± Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind her. Anhao pulled her thoughts back from Bai Weiwei¡¯s matter and turned around to see Zi Ran sneaking out from the crowd. She was originally running towards her direction, but when she saw Zuo Hancheng beside her, she stopped and hesitated for a moment, not knowing if she should rush over rashly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao looked at Zi Ran¡¯s thieving expression and tilted her head with a smile.¡±Where did the others go? Why are you alone?¡± ¡°Minister Qin is giving a speech at the front. The others are taking the opportunity to support him. I was too bored and wanted to look for you everywhere.¡±Seeing that Anhao did not seem to mind her interruption, Zi Ran quickly walked over. When she was in front of Anhao, she spoke to her and turned to Zuo Hancheng with a smile on her face.¡±Hello, President Zuo!¡± There were very few people who could be considered as Anhao¡¯s friend. Moreover, the girls who were to her liking were usually the carefree and heartless type. Zuo Hancheng nodded at Zi Ran indifferently as a form of greeting and giving Anhao face. However, just looking at her and nodding her head politely was enough to make Zi Ran scream. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, she actually had the chance to stand in front of a person like Zuo Hancheng, and he actually looked at her! Anhao chuckled and touched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm with her hand.¡±¡±Don¡¯t be so cold. Ziran is my friend, just like Chunchun and the others. She¡¯s not just a colleague.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t seem to have a particularly good attitude towards your old friends.¡±Zuo Hancheng replied to her calmly. Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, while Zi Ran¡¯s eyes widened in shock. She could not believe that Prince Charming Zuo could be so cold when he was joking with his wife! That¡¯s right! She was pretending to be cold and aloof! It was obvious that he was hiding some potential for a cold joke, okay? In fact, perhaps there was a warm and cute gene in the cold and aloof! It seemed that Sister Anhao had not been able to discover it properly! Anhao could not tell that Zuo Hancheng was doing this on purpose. She thought that he had never taken Huang Amao and Chunchun seriously. She immediately pulled her hand away from his arm and whispered,¡±¡±Of course you won¡¯t have a good attitude. When I went to America, didn¡¯t Chunchun and Huang Amao go to your company to cause trouble? What did you say after you invited them up? As far as I know, the two of them have always been resentful of you. Now you want my new friend to be resentful of you?¡± Zi Ran, who was listening at the side, did not fully understand what was going on. However, she felt that Sister Anhao actually dared to secretly throw a tantrum at Boss Zuo. Boss Zuo was actually just calmly watching her muttering non-stop without any signs of being unhappy. However, it was obvious that their relationship as husband and wife was super good! He was really envious! I¡¯m so envious! ¡°Resentment?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. At this moment, he finally glanced at Zi Ran, who was so excited that she was about to bite her nails.¡±Do you have a grudge against me?¡± Zi Ran instantly shook her head like a wave and emphasized,¡±No, no, no, no, absolutely not! Prince Charming Zuo Uh, President Zuo was keeping a safe distance from his wife¡¯s best friend. He was definitely a good man of the century! Those who shook hands and hugged their wives ¡®best friends and chatted warmly with them were definitely potential scumbags! President Zuo is the model of a good man!¡± Anhao immediately turned to look at Zi Ran. She really didn¡¯t expect that this little girl¡¯s personality was even more childish than hers. When it came to being sensible, she was quite good at talking. No, what did she mean by good at talking? She didn¡¯t mean it that way! ¡°Who are you helping?¡± Anhao stared at her in disbelief.¡± Zi Ran¡¯s face was filled with embarrassment. She looked at Anhao¡¯s attitude, which was obviously not angry. Then, she saw Zuo Hancheng smiling as he took the champagne glass from the waiter beside him. At the same time, he raised his hand slightly to salute her. Her little heart was about to jump out of her chest. Was President Zuo complimenting her for being good at talking? Ah, ah, ah, then I should speak up for President Zuo more in the future. It¡¯s good to let Sister Anhao act coquettishly like this. At least she¡¯s more feminine than when she was working in the political department! Seeing that Zi Ran was agitated and blushing, Anhao turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm expression as he calmly sipped on his wine. She immediately walked towards Zi Ran alone. When she reached her, she raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, which were already staring at Zuo Hancheng. Zi Ran suddenly came back to her senses and looked at her in surprise.¡±What? Sister Anhao!¡± ¡°Is it that good looking?¡± Anhao stood at Zi Ran¡¯s angle and looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. At this moment, a leader from a certain province was passing by Zuo Hancheng with a toast. Seeing that there was no one beside Zuo Hancheng, he stopped and chatted for a while. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm and elegant demeanor with a champagne glass in his hand, and then looking at his tall and slender back when he was chatting and laughing with others, Anhao raised her eyebrows. It was true that some men would become bald and beer bellied due to the passing of time, but for some men, the passing of time had cast a more and more stable and powerful aura on their bodies. Just like Zuo Hancheng, three years ago and three years later, he was still the same person. The three years of time had clearly left him with no trace of a prostitute, but that man was still so attractive. ¡°He looks good. President Zuo has always been a famous businessman in our country. He¡¯s handsome, rich, has status, and a family background. He¡¯s also modest and low-key, never showing off, and he¡¯s even more mysterious and rarely appears in front of the media! He¡¯s different from those male celebrities who show their faces in front of the camera all day long. President Zuo is the number one husband in the hearts of unmarried women!¡± Anhao was lost in thought when Zi Ran suddenly grabbed her arm.¡±¡±A Prince Charming is indeed a god, the kind that I didn¡¯t even dare to imagine. But who would have thought that Sister Anhao would actually be Mrs. Zuo! Do you think I¡¯m dreaming? I¡¯m really going to die of excitement!¡± Chapter 700 - Chapter 700: Three Thousand in Weak Water (4) Chapter 700: Three Thousand in Weak Water (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I didn¡¯t believe it just now, but I could see that President Zuo really treats you very well. If he¡¯s just a lover who¡¯s putting on an act, he wouldn¡¯t look at you like that!¡± As soon as Zi Ran finished speaking, Anhao was puzzled.¡±What kind of look?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right!¡± Zi Ran¡¯s eyes lit up as she said,¡± It¡¯s the kind of gaze that¡¯s indescribable, but you¡¯re the only one in this world!¡± An Hao was in a daze. ¡°No matter what other women in this world do, they can¡¯t compare to the look in his eyes! Aiya, I¡¯m really at my wit¡¯s end. Some things can only be understood but not explained in words!¡±Zi Ran grabbed Anhao¡¯s wrist excitedly, and she accidentally scratched it until it was almost red. Anhao could indeed feel her real excitement. ¡°So, Sister Anhao, your favorite was also a gift from Prince Charming Zuo, right? Back then, the entire set of beloved pets in the world had been collected by a mysterious person. Was that mysterious person him? Is the whole set of love in your hands?!¡± Anhao was speechless. ¡°Forget it, forget it. It¡¯s better not to answer!¡±Seeing Anhao¡¯s silent expression, Zi Ran¡¯s heart was about to break. She raised her hand and patted her shoulder, then leaned her head on her shoulder and cried,¡±Ahhhh, I¡¯m so excited. I can¡¯t sleep tonight!¡± Anhao¡¯s emotional wailing from Zi Ran¡¯s shoulder became the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. Coincidentally, there were lights shining in their direction at this time, and many people noticed Anhao. Anhao quickly turned around and smiled politely and awkwardly at the people around her. At the same time, she reached out and pushed Zi Ran, who was like an octopus on her shoulder, twice.¡±Alright, alright, don¡¯t be so exaggerated. There are countless more expensive jewelry in this world. It¡¯s just a set of my favorite ¡± Although she said this against her conscience, she naturally knew what the words ¡®beloved¡¯ meant. However, when Zi Ran heard this, she raised her head even more excitedly and said,¡±Do you know what the main designer said when the jewelry set was officially released? Do you know why there was only one set of jewelry in every country in the world? Don¡¯t you understand? Do you really not understand?¡± Anhao blinked. She had just been too careless to think about it ¡°There are only three thousand weak waters to drink. You are the only one in the world who is beautiful and pampered! You have to travel all over the world to collect a complete set of jewelry. This is such a serious, grand, and representative piece of jewelry that has a cross-generation significance in the jewelry world. You actually used the word ¡®one¡¯. My heart is about to break!¡±Zi Ran held her chest.¡± This was three years ago. At that time, she was shocked by the grand celebration of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s 20th birthday for her. She did not think deeply about the meaning of the jewelry. When he brought her to the United States, no matter what she faced in the Zuo family, he still insisted on her identity as Mrs. Zuo. He didn¡¯t lower his head in front of the angry old man. He took her to the beach in Santa Monica, took her to the meaningful church, took her to experience all the things she had never experienced, and took her to walk the path he had once walked. The pet of the heart Since when did Zuo Hancheng treat her like a treasure? She was clearly just a rebellious child in the past. Seeing that Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, Zi Ran sensibly touched her arm lightly.¡±¡±Alright, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore! Minister Qin¡¯s speech probably hasn¡¯t ended yet. It¡¯s still not too late for me to go back and join the crowd. Anyway, you have President Zuo¡¯s support tonight, so you don¡¯t have to support Minister Qin. You¡¯d better not appear in front of our colleagues now, or else their gazes will swallow your dear husband alive. You have to know that he¡¯s our Prince Charming ¡± After saying that, Zi Ran turned around and went back into the crowd with a smile and satisfaction. Anhao had just been pushed by Zi Ran and staggered forward. She then looked up at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back. He was still talking to the leader of the province, and his eyes were still calm and peaceful. He had talked to someone for so long, and there was a smile in his eyes, but his entire body still exuded a coldness that belonged only to him. Anhao turned to look at the waiter who had walked past her. She also took a glass of champagne and walked towards him. When she was behind Zuo Hancheng, she smiled at the provincial leader who had noticed her. The provincial leader must have seen her and Zuo Hancheng when they entered the door and knew her identity, so he gave her a polite smile and then said to Zuo Hancheng,¡±President Zuo, let¡¯s talk about this first. We¡¯ll talk about this in detail when we open the provincial Chamber of Commerce.¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded lightly and watched the provincial leader leave. Anhao saw that there was still some champagne left in his hand, so she took the initiative to raise her glass and unexpectedly knocked it against the wall of his glass. Then, she smiled and turned around to slowly finish the wine in her glass. Zuo Hancheng heard the voice and glanced at the wine glass in his hand. At the same time, he looked at Anhao, who had already finished the wine with a triumphant smile.¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you not to drink before your waist injury recovers?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem to be a problem to drink one or two glasses of this wine.¡±Anhao shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile,¡±¡±If there was a problem, you wouldn¡¯t have watched me drink it like this.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her seemingly happy expression.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t need me to ¡®treat¡¯ your friends with ¡®hospitality¡¯ anymore?¡± ¡°I was scared away by your coldness.¡±Anhao said,¡± No wonder the outside world is saying that Zuo Hancheng is too high and mighty. Although his Godhood is very high, it¡¯s so high that it¡¯s impossible to reach him. I¡¯ve never been able to understand this saying. Actually, you¡¯re clearly a very warm person ¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her indifferently. At the same time, the projection of the political department¡¯s celebration for the design department was displayed in front of the venue. When everyone¡¯s eyes were looking in that direction, they also looked in that direction. However, his voice was calm as he said to Anhao beside him,¡±For those who are at the top, even if they are easy-going, they have to be in a different situation. Otherwise, problems will come one after another.¡± ¡°Actually, you recognized that Zi Ran is the daughter of a representative of a certain business in City A, right? I know that the business world has its rules.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°I only thought of this when I saw someone speaking to her politely when I turned around earlier ¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, there was a slight movement behind her. Zuo Hancheng glanced sideways and saw a sharp blade coming straight at Anhao. Chapter 701 - Chapter 701 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 701 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Be careful!¡± ¡°Oh, my God¡± The group of people behind her suddenly screamed. Even though Anhao reacted quickly enough to sense that danger was approaching from behind, someone was faster than her. Before she could turn around, someone had already grabbed her waist and brought her away from the danger. Anhao snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was already staring at her coldly. He was already staring at a woman in the hotel¡¯s uniform who had been held down by the security guards who had rushed over in time. Anhao also turned her eyes to the woman who was pinned to the ground and was surprised.¡±¡±Qiu?¡± Everyone in the hall had heard the commotion and ran over to check the situation. Minister Qin and the design department rushed over at the same time and saw the person on the ground. He was as surprised as Anhao.¡±Qiu? Wasn¡¯t she taken away by security? Didn¡¯t he say that he would send her to the police station? Why are you here?¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Seeing that Anhao knew her, Zuo Hancheng let go of Anhao and asked in a deep voice. Obviously, this unforeseen danger made him very dissatisfied. When the security guards and the hotel staff saw the look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s and the provincial leaders ¡®eyes, they immediately knew that their hotel was in trouble. They quickly explained,¡±We don¡¯t know how this person suddenly appeared! There were security guards at the door! How could there be such a stranger wearing our hotel waiter¡¯s clothes and muddling into the crowd to commit murder! We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give everyone an explanation!¡± ¡± Gu Anhao!!!¡± As Qiu was pinned to the ground, the sharp fruit knife she had bought on the street was taken away by force. Her head was pressed against the ground for a long time, unable to make a sound. It was not until someone pulled her hair to allow her to speak that she suddenly raised her head and glared at Anhao with red eyes.¡±If you destroy me, don¡¯t even think about living a good life! I¡¯m going to kill you! I¡¯m going to kill you! Let go of me¡­¡± Everyone was surprised to see Qiu there, but Anhao didn¡¯t know whether to continue mocking her or to persuade her to stop courting death and go to the police station immediately. It was just a false accusation. Was she really going to be jailed for life for murder? A woman like Qiu was indeed lacking in intelligence! He didn¡¯t have much scheming at all. If he really had a thick scheming mind, he wouldn¡¯t have come to this step! He was simply too stupid! He was so stupid that he couldn¡¯t be bothered! ¡°President Zuo, this is our mistake. I¡¯m very sorry!¡±Minister Qin walked over to Anhao and Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡± Xiao Qiu is an employee of the design department. She¡¯s a designer in Director Gu¡¯s office. She¡¯s never been on good terms with Director Gu. In the past two days, she¡¯s been plotting something to frame Director Gu on her own, but Director Gu has exposed her. Before we came to the venue, we had already asked the security guards to take her away and called the police to arrest her. We didn¡¯t expect her to suddenly appear here. We¡¯ll definitely find out what happened. We¡¯ve shocked President Zuo and Director Gu¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng immediately glanced at Anhao.¡±¡±This is the thing you said you wanted to solve these two days?¡± Anhao also felt that this kind of conspiracy in the office was too unsightly. She pursed her lips and said,¡±It was originally just a small matter. I didn¡¯t expect it to become so big.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a small matter in your eyes!¡± Xiao Qiu only had eyes for Anhao Gu now, as if she didn¡¯t see anyone beside her. She stared at her and scolded,¡±¡±You ruined everything for me! The good job I dreamed of! My feelings! My everything! Including my reputation! Gu Anhao, what¡¯s so great about you! Everyone in the office clearly didn¡¯t like you at first! What right do you have to continue walking until now! I¡¯m clearly the one who¡¯s the most popular! Why did you have such a smooth journey? Why can¡¯t I? Why must I listen to your orders just because I¡¯m equally talented? On what basis? ¡°Take her away!¡± Before Anhao could say anything, Minister Qin noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression had darkened. He knew that Xiao Qiu¡¯s scolding of Anhao had angered President Zuo, so he quickly shouted,¡±Take her down quickly. Don¡¯t let her cause trouble here!¡± ¡°Why are you pulling me down! Why are you so sure that I framed you when there¡¯s no surveillance record? I only remembered later that you were just provoking me, right? There was no surveillance record at all! Gu Anhao, why are you pretending to be your favorite with a brooch made of fake diamonds? How could a man give you such an expensive thing? It must be fake! You framed me on purpose!¡± ¡°Qiu, are you blind?¡± A female colleague who used to get along with Xiao Qiu couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She felt that Xiao Qiu¡¯s behavior in front of Zuo Hancheng was an embarrassment to all of them.¡±Can¡¯t you see who¡¯s beside Gu Anhao?¡± When Xiao Qiu heard the voice, she seemed to have noticed the people around her. She looked up at Gu Anhao and then turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had a cold expression on his face. Xiao Qiu shuddered when she saw the man who had been protecting Gu Anhao from the start. His eyes were as cold as ice. She looked at Anhao who was standing beside Zuo Hancheng. She was petrified when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand blocking Gu Anhao¡¯s path. ¡°Not only did you not expect it, even we did not expect that Director Gu is actually President Zuo¡¯s wife¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Qiu. You¡¯re really short-sighted. Do you know who you¡¯ve offended? She¡¯s Mrs. Zuo, President Zuo¡¯s wife. Minister Qin already knew about this. We knew that Anhao must be extraordinary for being so low-key. You¡¯re the one who flaunts all day and doesn¡¯t know how to hide it. You¡¯re really courting death¡­¡± It didn¡¯t matter if these colleagues were climbing up the social ladder or just sitting on the fence. At least their IQ was above average. It was a pity that Xiao Qiu¡¯s IQ was really¡­ Xiao Qiu looked at Gu Anhao in disbelief again, and her eyes gradually darkened. Seeing her like this, Gu Anhao wanted to walk over and say a few words to her. Of course, it was not because she was soft-hearted, but because she felt that some things needed to be explained in person, lest Gu Anhao cursed her even if she was locked up. However, just as she was about to step forward, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm, which was already in front of her, suddenly stopped her. Anhao turned to look at him and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze. He had no intention of letting her go.¡±I¡¯ll go and explain it to her. After all, this matter started because of me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll settle it. You don¡¯t have to come out again.¡±Zuo Hancheng pulled her back as soon as he finished speaking. He still had no intention of letting her go forward. Chapter 702 - Chapter 702 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 702 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao had no choice but to give up on the idea of stepping forward. Since Zuo Hancheng had said so, she really did not want to have anything to do with Xiao Qiu. However, a small matter that she had never taken to heart had suddenly turned into such a serious situation. They even wanted to use a fruit knife to assassinate her. This was simply too shocking. She had yet to digest the changes in this situation. On the other side, Minister Qin and the hotel staff had already called around to check on the situation. They turned around and said. ¡°Mr. Zuo, the police station in the area near the police station had a major case to pursue today, so there weren¡¯t many people left. When they sent a car to the police station to take Xiao Qiu away, only one person went, and he was an intern.¡± Anhao did not look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression. She turned to look at Xiao Qiu, who was pinned to the ground. A fool really had the guts and luck to be able to escape. The hotel staff also stepped forward and said, This name is called Little Autumn Woman, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called, this name is called. I didn¡¯t expect there to be such a complicated process in the middle ¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, President Zuo, Minister Qin. This is our hotel¡¯s negligence. We will definitely investigate all the relevant people and give you a perfect explanation!¡± ¡°Jixiang Grand Hotel?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked back. ¡°President Zuo, Xiao Qiu was taken away by the vice president of that big hotel. Then, she went to Director Gu every day to show off. Director Gu never took her seriously. Don¡¯t you think there are some women in this world who look down on others?¡± There were a few colleagues who started to speak in favor of Anhao in the group chat, but it was obvious that they were here to curry favor with her. Zuo Hancheng did not even look in that direction, but Anhao suddenly felt relieved. Forget it, it was better to leave this matter to Zuo Hancheng. She didn¡¯t want to see so many snobbish people wandering around in front of her. ¡°Sister Anhao, are you alright?¡± Zi Ran whispered behind Anhao. Anhao turned around and saw the concern in Zi Ran¡¯s eyes. She smiled.¡±I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Our colleagues in the design department don¡¯t have much time left to be together. When all the remaining proposals are finished, we¡¯ll be separated. I really don¡¯t know why Qiu is so desperate to fight you to the death ¡± ¡°People are forced to take one step at a time. I¡¯m the same, so is she.¡±Anhao no longer cared about Xiao Qiu¡¯s direction. Instead, she chose to stand beside Zi Ran. She stood in a quiet and safe corner behind Zuo Hancheng and the security guards and said calmly,¡±It¡¯s not a good thing for a person to walk too smoothly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Although Xiao Qiu¡¯s family background is average, she went abroad to study smoothly. After returning home, she entered the political department smoothly. She fell in love with Xiao Hui before she officially entered the job. Then, she broke up with him. Everything went smoothly. Moreover, she has a very arrogant personality, so she has never been convinced by you.¡± So, I¡¯m talking about the Gai Gai ¡± It¡¯s good to have some setbacks in life,¡± Anhao said softly.¡± At least things won¡¯t follow your temper. You¡¯ll restrain yourself.¡±¡± Xiao Qiu was taken away. This time, there was a special person responsible for escorting her to the police station for interrogation. It was originally just a false accusation. Perhaps someone had gone to plead for her, and she would be released in half a year. But now, she had not only attempted murder, but Zuo Hancheng had also seen it. She no longer had to think about what to do if she ran into Xiao Qiu on the road again. Xiao Qiu would probably never have the chance to walk on any path in her life. Impulsiveness was the devil. Why would a good girl ruin everything because of an inexplicable impulse? The celebratory banquet continued as usual. The stage controller and emcee were watching the simulation renderings of their design department on the big screen with the people from the construction department. The entire venue was in awe. Seeing that everyone was so amazed and satisfied with the results of their design department, Anhao¡¯s mood, which had been somewhat depressed because of Xiao Qiu¡¯s matter, suddenly lightened. She felt as if her precious treasure had been placed in front of everyone. It was a different kind of joy from being praised by everyone. At this moment, the crowd behind Anhao and Zi Ran automatically parted to form a path. Anhao sensed the movement and turned around to see that Zuo Hancheng had already returned. ¡°You¡¯ve already told the police about it?¡±Anhao asked. Zuo Hancheng had already approached her. When he reached her side, he did not say anything about Xiao Qiu and the police station. He only looked at her and said,¡±Although I dodged in time just now, I don¡¯t want this to happen again.¡± Anhao was helpless.¡± I didn¡¯t want to either. I didn¡¯t expect that a simple colleague relationship would end up like this.¡±¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with this matter.¡± Zuo Hancheng said in a deep voice,¡± In the future, attend as few small banquets as possible. You¡¯re not a child anymore. Remember to protect yourself at all times.¡±¡± Indeed, the security facilities at such a small celebration party were not perfect enough. Otherwise, Xiao Qiu would not have been able to sneak in so easily. After all, today was just a celebration party for the design department. It was actually a kind of recognition for the hard work of the design department over the past two months. If not for this, Zuo Hancheng would definitely not have attended such a banquet. It was a rare occasion for a few important leaders to show up here today. It was obvious that they had given Zuo Hancheng some face. However, the security facilities were indeed impressive. ¡°An assassination like this ¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment, leaned closer to her and asked softly,¡±¡±Have you experienced it before?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes swept across the big screen calmly and he said to her,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡± The legendary Boss Zuo is not only a leading figure among the honest businessmen. I also heard from Old General Qi that Boss Zuo once had a terrifying past in the underworld forces in the United States. When I first met you, I thought you were just a successful person who started from scratch. Later on, when I went to the Zuo family, I found out that it was not just that. Later on, I realized that my knowledge was too lacking .¡± Chapter 703 - Chapter 703 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 703 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 Hearing her sigh, Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.¡±¡±So what does this have to do with an assassination?¡± ¡± Let¡¯s not talk about how well you¡¯re doing in the underworld. There are many people who are secretly jealous of you. It¡¯s not strange for them to hire some people from the underworld to get rid of you. Besides, you used to have a power in America that I¡¯m not particularly clear about ¡± ¡± You thought that the danger behind you was coming for you, right?¡± Anhao said as she looked at him from the corner of her eyes.¡± You didn¡¯t expect it to be me. Otherwise, why did you only observe the movements behind you when you discovered it so early? Why didn¡¯t you immediately alert the enemy and turn around before the other party made a move?¡±¡± ¡°Good observation skills.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained calm as he looked at the cross-section of the simulation on the screen with a smile in his eyes. As he looked at it, he said,¡±¡±Since you know, you should protect yourself carefully. The protection that Mrs. Zuo can bring you is actually proportional to the danger she can bring you.¡± ¡°In that case, why haven¡¯t I seen anyone appear within my sight to assassinate you?¡±Anhao asked with a face full of gossip. Aiyaya, this kind of explosive news that only she could get from Zuo Hancheng was really too hot. When she first learned from Old General Qi that Zuo Hancheng had been involved in the underworld in the United States when he was young, she was shocked at that time, but now she felt that it was super hot. She always felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s seemingly calm surface was hiding an extraordinary and bloody past. Looking at Zuo Hancheng, who seemed so calm and gentle, who would have thought that he had another side to him? However, he had always hidden it well. His temperament was calm, extraordinary, and clear, revealing his rationality, wisdom, temperament, and self-restraint. Therefore, no one would have thought that he would be able to do so. Even Anhao was curious about what Zuo Hancheng was like when he first took over Shengling Group. However, before the seeds of curiosity in An Xin¡¯s heart could take root, Zuo Hancheng had already put his arm around her waist and whispered into her ear in the same ambiguous way,¡±¡±Usually, those who try to approach us in the dark for unknown reasons will be secretly taken away before they enter our sight.¡± Did that mean that those people had no chance to get close to him? This topic was temporarily stopped when the leader of the construction department who was giving a speech on stage mentioned Anhao¡¯s name. Anhao knew that it was indeed better to talk about this topic as little as possible. If Zuo Hancheng did not take the initiative to mention it, she would not ask too much. The person speaking on the stage was another leader of the construction department other than Minister Qin. He was talking about the names of the people involved in the simulation design on the screen and everyone¡¯s results. When he mentioned her name, he naturally mentioned that she was the director of the design department. He also mentioned that Director Gu had led the entire design department to create this amazing design result. He also announced a series of matters regarding the stadium and cultural center that were about to start construction. Zi Ran had already been called to her colleagues ¡®side. Anhao looked at the simulation renderings on the screen and felt her heart surge. This was her first job after returning to China, and it was also her first result after returning to A City. This feeling was different from the architectural drawings she had made during her internship in the United States, even though she had also received praise. However, standing beside Zuo Hancheng, she felt that It felt like he was handing in his homework again. ¡°I didn¡¯t waste my three years in Boston, did I?¡±Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not praise her, Anhao took the initiative to whisper into his ear. Zuo Hancheng looked down at her and chuckled.¡± It¡¯s not bad. So, Mrs. Zuo, when do you plan to start planning the reconstruction plan of Shengling Group?¡±¡± ¡°Are you really going to let the us undertake the reconstruction design of Shengling Group?¡± ¡°When have I ever joked?¡± From afar, although the colleagues from the design department had verbally sided with Gu Anhao to gain Zuo Hancheng¡¯s favor, they were now looking over from afar. They saw Gu Anhao being held in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and whispering to each other in an inconspicuous place in the crowd. Her actions and expressions looked natural and intimate, and it did not seem like they could put on an act. Therefore, a few female colleagues who were secretly jealous and thought that everything was just an act were disillusioned. President Zuo . He was indeed very good to Gu Anhao The next day, Anhao slept in and took advantage of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s flight to Shanghai for a meeting that morning. Although A City was not far from Shanghai and the flight would take at most two hours, the meeting was in the afternoon and evening. Even if it only took a whole day, Zuo Hancheng would definitely not come back tonight. Ever since she moved to the famous city of Henghai, Anhao¡¯s life had been controlled by various kinds of people. After returning from the celebration party last night, she had received a call from Chunchun. She had always wanted to find time to see Chunchun, and today she finally found the opportunity. After all, Chunchun rarely returned to A City these past few years. Although she had met the legendary devil, she still did not know much about him. According to Chunchun¡¯s call yesterday, it seemed that her company was going to C City for a holiday and was passing through A City. Therefore, the devil allowed her to rest in A City for two days before continuing on her journey. Anhao took a taxi to the address Chunchun gave her. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Huang Amao standing at the intersection. He was wearing an intern police uniform and leaning against the car as if he was waiting for her. Anhao and Huang Amao had been so busy after the Mo family incident that they hadn¡¯t seen each other for a while. Anhao walked over and Huang Amao turned to look at her and complained,¡±¡±Is Su Chunchun¡¯s brain fried? Haven¡¯t you been back for a long time? I thought she would go back to visit her parents. The car was almost at the Su family¡¯s old residence, but she suddenly told me that she was staying at the Maple Forest Villa. She didn¡¯t even know that she had a villa! I had to turn so far to come here. Fortunately, I wasn¡¯t late!¡± Anhao turned around and glanced at the villa complex.¡±Chunchun¡¯s family runs a company, after all, just like your parents. Haven¡¯t you asked her about this before?¡± ¡°Who would have the mood to ask these questions when they were in school? After all, how many of the people who can study in A High are small characters in their families?¡±Huang Ah-Mao glanced inside as he spoke.¡±But Su Chunchun is too unreasonable. She hasn¡¯t seen us for so long, and the two of us took the initiative to look for her. In the end, this big sister didn¡¯t even leave the house or come out to pick us up.¡± ¡°I guess he has something to do. After all, he just came back and can only stay in A City for two days.¡±Anhao glanced at the time and saw that there were still ten minutes left before the agreed time. She wasn¡¯t in a hurry to go in and look for Chunchun. She turned to look at the police uniform Huang Amao was wearing.¡±You changed into your uniform? Did he go from being an operator to an intern police officer?¡± Chapter 704 - Chapter 704 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 704 The Other Side of Zuo Hancheng (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Yes!¡± Huang Amao crossed his arms and said frankly,¡±¡±It¡¯s all because you almost got into an accident because of me that inspired me to work hard in the police station. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have signed up for this month¡¯s police intern assessment. I¡¯d rather continue to be a useless operator.¡± ¡°How long do you need to practice?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I¡¯m waiting for the assessment. Don¡¯t think that it¡¯s easy to become a police officer. Even if I can pull some strings at home, I have to ensure that I can protect myself when I eliminate the violent and appease the good. As long as I can protect myself, I can protect the common people. I have a lot to learn.¡± Anhao understood what Huang Amao meant. Coincidentally, she wasn¡¯t wearing her work attire today but a light sportswear. She lifted her leg and placed it on the car behind Huang Amao.¡±Do you need me to teach you a few moves?¡± Huang Amao glanced at her legs with disdain, then at her waist.¡±¡±You¡¯d better hurry up and heal your waist injury. Teach me a few moves? If I hurt my waist, your Zuo Hancheng will probably kill me immediately.¡± Anhao pulled her leg back with a smug look on her face.¡±Actually, I¡¯ve recovered a long time ago. I won¡¯t feel anything even if I do rehabilitation exercises these two days. It¡¯s definitely not a problem to exchange a few moves with you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re fine, but if you really hurt your waist, I¡¯ll have a problem! Dear Mrs. Zuo, please give us commoners a chance to live. I don¡¯t dare to provoke a ruthless person like Zuo Hancheng.¡±Huang Amao slapped Anhao¡¯s hand away with a look of disdain.¡±¡±You and Su Chun have had enough. You show off your love in front of me every day. Don¡¯t you think my name is offensive? I¡¯m already 22 years old, and I haven¡¯t even had my first love, let alone my first kiss. Should I change my name or something?¡± ¡°Change what? Huang Rourou? Huang Wanwan? Huang Meimei? Huang Lili? How about yellow lips?¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Huang Amao and Anhao were fighting each other as he took out his phone to check the time.¡±¡±Su Chunchun¡¯s hospitality is simply not taking us seriously. Let¡¯s go and kill our way in to see what¡¯s going on. We agreed to come and find her at this time, but she really didn¡¯t come out to pick us up!¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and didn¡¯t deny it. Indeed, under normal circumstances, Chunchun should not have suddenly lost contact with the two of them for more than two hours. There was definitely a problem. In the end, when the two of them walked into the villa area and found the address Chunchun had given them, Chunchun called.¡±Hey, hey, hey, where are you guys? I had something to do just now and didn¡¯t have time to look for you.¡± Anhao looked at the door in front of her and rolled her eyes.¡±¡±I¡¯m at your door. Hurry up and open the door.¡± ¡°What? The door?¡± Chunchun seemed to have been provoked by something, and the voice on the other end was also unknown. Then, the phone was hung up. Anhao looked at the phone in her hand in surprise and then at Huang Amao, who was also confused. Two minutes later, the sound of footsteps came from inside the door. Then, the door was opened and Chunchun¡¯s head popped out. Although she had already grabbed her hair in a hurry, she could still see the mess in her hair. Anhao looked down again. When Chunchun opened the door completely He saw the nightgown that she had hurriedly put on Then, he saw the blush on Chunchun¡¯s cheeks and the hickey on her neck that he couldn¡¯t cover up in time. Huang Amao instantly took a big step back as if he had been hurt.¡±F ck! Are you sure you still want us to go in?! Is it convenient for the two of us to go in?¡± Chunchun blushed,¡±I ¡± ¡± You really have a man at home?!¡± Huang Amao said as he took another big step back. Chunchun¡¯s mouth twitched. I can explain . Actually, I .¡± Anhao looked inside. She couldn¡¯t see the bedroom from here, but Chunchun could tell that she had just escaped from the bed. She couldn¡¯t help but ask softly,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t the Great Demon King give you two days off? Don¡¯t tell me they¡¯re here again?¡± Chunchun saw that she had seen through her expression and immediately said with a sad face,¡±Isn¡¯t this the company¡¯s senior executive going on a vacation? Everyone was in A City to begin with. I wanted to go back to my parents ¡®house, but ¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and asked again,¡±Didn¡¯t you tell me last time that nothing happened between you and him?¡± Did he still say that he had nothing to do with her?¡± Chunchun continued to cry. It¡¯s a long story ¡°Can you go to the party tonight first? Su Chunchun, are you trying to leave the two of us?¡±Huang Amao, who was single, walked over angrily.¡±¡±If you dare not go, I¡¯ll .¡± She took the shot A deep and cold voice suddenly came from inside. It was a man¡¯s voice Huang Amao was provoked again. She opened her eyes and looked inside. When she suddenly met the gaze of the man who walked out of the bedroom, she was instantly attacked by a cold air. She shivered and raised her hand again. Her hand was trembling with anger.¡±Is this the legendary Great Demon King?¡± Chunchun was speechless. His face was filled with resentment. Huang Amao raised his hand to pinch Chunchun¡¯s neck and shook her hard.¡±¡±Bastard, bastard, bastard, you. Although he¡¯s a little handsome, you actually surrendered just like that. Su Chunchun, where did your integrity go?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t see what was inside clearly from the angle she was standing at. Of course, she didn¡¯t deliberately look inside, but she could tell from the voice that it was indeed Huo Beiting. ¡°I¡¯ll explain to you guys in the future. Originally, I did want to gather with you guys this time, but something came up at the last minute, and I .¡± ¡°Ahhh, you really want to stand us up! Do you know that we came all the way here to look for you, but when we saw your outfit, I wanted to strangle you to death!¡±Huang Amao grabbed Chunchun¡¯s neck angrily. Chunchun knew that she was in the wrong and did not resist, but she looked at Anhao with a pleading expression. Anhao quickly raised her hand to stop him.¡± Alright, stop fooling around. There are so many villas around here. If others saw this, they would think that the police were trespassing.¡±¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I promise that I won¡¯t stand you up next time. Next time, even if I have a knife to my neck, I¡¯ll definitely leave with you!¡±Chunchun raised her hand to swear, but the moment she raised her hand, she straightened her body. The neckline of her nightdress slid down, revealing even more ambiguous traces. Huang Amao, who hadn¡¯t even had a first love, was hit so hard that he immediately raised his hand to cover his eyes. Chunchun also looked back in embarrassment and anger. She raised her hand to pull up her collar. When she looked at Anhao, she saw that Anhao was smiling. She was about to ask her why she was smiling so mysteriously when the man inside had already walked out. Huo Beiting was only wearing a high-quality silk bathrobe as he walked over. The moment he saw Anhao, he raised his eyebrows and glanced behind her. He said coldly,¡±So it¡¯s Mrs. Zuo? President Zuo didn¡¯t come? I happen to have something to talk to him about.¡± Chapter 705 - Chapter 705 Carrying You to the Shower (1) Chapter 705 Carrying You to the Shower (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°If President Huo is here to look for Zuo Hancheng, he must know that he¡¯s not in A City today. It¡¯s obvious that President Huo just mentioned it casually.¡± After all, Anhao had met Huo Beiting before, so she was able to deal with him quite easily. However, she was surprised that Huo Beiting could see through their relationship the last time she saw him. She had not reconciled with Zuo Hancheng yet. Now, he did not ask much and directly addressed her as Mrs. Zuo. It seemed that he must have done a lot of things behind her back. At least he was a person who was good at investigating. He was not blind, but he was also quite scary. It was unknown whether he was investigating the people around Zuo Hancheng or the people related to Chunchun. ¡°Aiya? You know each other?¡± Chunchun squeezed past Huo Beiting and stuck her head out to ask in surprise. Anhao was about to answer when Chunchun¡¯s little head was slapped back by Huo Beiting.¡±¡±Go get a coat. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Chunchun covered her head and turned to walk inside. Anhao was a little surprised. When she looked at Huo Beiting again, Huo Beiting also glanced at her and then leaned lazily against the door. Although his attitude was polite, he had no intention of letting them in. ¡°We¡¯re going out for dinner with Chunchun tonight. President Huo won¡¯t even give us time to gather for dinner. Besides, isn¡¯t she still on vacation? It shouldn¡¯t be considered as going out at will during work.¡±Anhao felt that it was necessary to save Chunchun. It seemed that she was clearly being controlled by Huo Beiting. ¡°That¡¯s really unfortunate. I originally planned to give her a holiday tonight, but a foreign diplomatic mission came for a meeting at the last minute. She had to go for both business and personal matters. I¡¯m really sorry for missing your gathering. Why don¡¯t I treat you to a meal another day?¡±Huo Beiting looked at Anhao with a smile on his face as he spoke. At the same time, he raised his eyebrows.¡±I just don¡¯t know if President Zuo will give me this chance.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just out for dinner with my friends. Of course, he won¡¯t restrict my free activities, but if the person treating me is President Huo, perhaps I should ask for his opinion.¡±Anhao chuckled.¡± In that case, I won¡¯t bother you anymore, President Huo. We¡¯ll talk to Chunchun on the phone later. Please don¡¯t take up too much of her time. Chunchun isn¡¯t just yours.¡±¡± Huo Beiting only smiled and did not answer her question. He only turned to look at the sky and said lightly,¡±It¡¯s going to rain soon. If you want to leave, you should leave quickly so that you won¡¯t get drenched in the rain. If Mrs. Zuo accidentally catches a cold, I can¡¯t bear the responsibility.¡± He said that he couldn¡¯t bear the responsibility, but his expression showed that he couldn¡¯t bear it. This kind of person who was both friend and foe of Zuo Hancheng was too dangerous. Moreover, Huo Beiting was indeed not a simple character. His every word and action exuded an air of unapproachable. However, judging from his attitude when he let Chunchun in to put on her clothes, he at least cared about her. Even from the perspective of her best friend, it was not a good idea for them to barge in now. Besides, Huo Beiting and Zuo Hancheng had a close relationship, so Anhao did not want to cause trouble. She nodded politely at her and turned around to leave with Huang Amao, who was hurt in various ways. She had just turned around and walked a few steps. Chunchun had not finished changing her clothes and had not come out to say goodbye to them when the door behind her was slammed shut. What a . A man who was extremely cold to outsiders. Anhao glanced at the door behind her. Huang Amao sighed and covered his chest. As he walked out, he said,¡±¡±I feel like I already have a new name ¡± ¡°What?¡± Anhao came back to her senses and looked at her. ¡°Golden bachelor.¡± Huang Amao walked out of the villa district with a pained expression. When he reached the car, he leaned against it weakly.¡±Who is that man? I only heard Chunchun say that he¡¯s her BOSS. You actually know him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t really know him. I only met him at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s place. He¡¯s the president of Beiheng Group, Huo Beiting. I don¡¯t know anything about his background, and I¡¯ve only met him once.¡±¡± I heard that he¡¯s a legend,¡± Anhao explained.¡± I just don¡¯t know how he¡¯s doing.¡±¡± ¡°Chunchun looks like she¡¯s completely under his control. When did you see that woman, Su Chunchun, being so obedient? Just now, he asked her to go in and change her clothes, and she obediently went in. Oh my god, oh my god, I wonder what happened to Chunchun in S City!¡± ¡°Actually, she hasn¡¯t been in S City for long. Back then, she went to S City for an internship for two months during the winter vacation in her third year of high school. She¡¯s been in school with me since then. After that, we weren¡¯t separated from each other in university. It¡¯s only been more than half a year since she graduated. Has she been possessed in S City for more than half a year? Pah, he had been bullied by Huo Beiting to this extent!¡± How was that bullying? Chunchun¡¯s radiant face just now was clearly enjoying it. If she was really bullied, with Su Chunchun¡¯s personality, she would have been the first to explode. However, Anhao didn¡¯t want to continue provoking Huang Amao, who was a golden bachelor. She got into her car and said after closing the door,¡±¡±It seems that there¡¯s nothing much to do this afternoon and evening. It just so happens that I still have some things that I haven¡¯t finished moving out of Hua Ting Private Park. If there¡¯s nothing else, accompany me to move out.¡± Huang Amao covered his chest and looked at her with a hurt expression.¡±¡±Are you going to live with Zuo Hancheng forever?¡± How was Anhao going to explain that the divorce agreement was invalid? She turned to look at Huang Amao, who was also sitting in the car. She tried not to hurt her and said softly,¡±¡±After all, we were once husband and wife. There was no deep hatred to begin with. This . Don¡¯t you think so .¡± Seeing Anhao trying her best to give him a look, which meant that she wanted him to experience it for himself, Huang Amao drove away from the Maple Forest Villa Complex while enduring the damage of billions of tons. As he drove, he said,¡±¡±Alright, you don¡¯t have to say anymore. I¡¯ve already sensed the malice from the entire world ¡± Anhao smiled and looked outside.¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched. I¡¯m completely unrelated to him. I haven¡¯t even said ten words to him yet. Besides, why should I kidnap a scumbag like him?¡± ¡± I remember when I was in A High School, Rong Qian had just transferred to our school. Weren¡¯t you quite infatuated with him? Before school started, you always stayed in the milk tea shop and peeked at him ¡± Huang Amao chuckled. After leaving the villa area, he drove the car straight into the wide road. At the same time, he said with a melancholic expression,¡±¡±I was too young back then and didn¡¯t see clearly whether it was a human or a dog.¡± Anhao was speechless. Chapter 706 - Chapter 706 Carrying You to the Shower (2) Chapter 706 Carrying You to the Shower (2) Translator: 549690339 In the private garden of the Hua Ting. The last time she came back with Zuo Hancheng to collect her luggage, Anhao only took a big suitcase to pack all the important things, but she did not take away some clothes and supplies that she could occasionally use. At that time, she was not in a hurry, but since she had nothing to do today, she might as well come and collect her things instead of walking on the streets with Huang Amao. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you take these books with you when you came to collect your luggage with Zuo Hancheng last time? You didn¡¯t let him carry such a heavy thing, but you asked me to help you. Gu Anhao doesn¡¯t behave like you ¡± Huang Amao complained as he helped her take her luggage out of the house. ¡°Last time, I only took clothes and some important items.¡±When Anhao walked out, she said,¡± I didn¡¯t want to take these books, but I might have to study the reconstruction plan of Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters building. I have to read to consolidate my knowledge. Can I treat you to dinner tonight?¡±¡± Anhao said as she took out another small suitcase.¡±¡±Then, I¡¯ll give you the small one and take the big one myself.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Huang Amao rolled his eyes at her and walked towards the elevator with his big suitcase.¡±Forget it. Your waist injury hasn¡¯t recovered yet. I¡¯ll take it. I¡¯ll allow you to follow behind me and be a weak little princess for a day.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door opened. When Huang Amao saw the person who walked out, he looked at her in surprise before turning to look at Anhao. Anhao noticed Huang Amao¡¯s gaze. She turned around and saw Bai Weiwei. The so-called ¡®enemies on a narrow road¡¯, was really narrow. She had only been back to this place a few times recently, but she had met Bai Weiwei twice. Bai Weiwei obviously didn¡¯t expect to see her again. Seeing that she had come back to get her luggage, she knew where she was staying, so she walked out of the elevator and said with a smile,¡±¡±Miss Gu, are you back to get your luggage? Are you really not planning to come back?¡± ¡± Of course not. Although Zuo Hancheng transferred the villa to Anhao three years ago, it¡¯s still Zuo Hancheng¡¯s property. Since it¡¯s the same, why should they live separately? Wouldn¡¯t it be more worry-free if she and President Zuo lived together in Heng Hai Ming?¡±¡±Before Anhao could say anything, Huang Amao interrupted her and scanned Bai Weiwei with his sharp eyes. It was obvious that he had entered Level One Combat Mode. Anhao hadn¡¯t even completely fallen out with Bai Weiwei, but Huang Amao had already gotten into character so quickly Bai Weiwei did not expect Gu Anhao¡¯s friend to say something like that. Her words confirmed the relationship between Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. She looked at Huang Amao, but she still smiled.¡±¡±And this is?¡± ¡°My friend, my best friend for many years. She¡¯s a little straightforward. Miss Bai, don¡¯t mind her.¡±Anhao explained and closed the door. At the same time, she turned around and walked to Huang Amao¡¯s side with the small suitcase in her hand. ¡°Miss Gu, have you recovered from your waist injury?¡± Bai Weiwei looked at Anhao.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Much better. But why is Miss Bai here at this time?¡± Shouldn¡¯t the Construction Bureau be working now?¡± ¡°My parents might come to A City for a walk soon. My place has just been renovated, and I¡¯ve only stayed here for a few nights. I need to come back and prepare now, so that they won¡¯t worry about me when they arrive and think that my place is too messy.¡±Bai Weiwei smiled and nodded at them,¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go in first. Take care.¡± Anhao smiled at her too. Although she had already had a subtle confrontation with Bai Weiwei in the Construction Bureau, she would not reveal her true colors too early in the face of an enemy who was too strong and stable. Everyone knew how to put on a mask. It all depended on who had a better grasp of the fire. The moment they brushed past each other, Anhao could smell the faint fragrance emanating from Bai Weiwei¡¯s body. This scent was very unique, and it was very cold and noble, and the scent was cold and lasting. She was sure that Zuo Hancheng had never smelled like this before. In other words, Bai Weiwei had never been able to get close to Zuo Hancheng. Just as she was about to enter the elevator, Bai Weiwei seemed to have suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Anhao.¡±¡±By the way, Miss Gu, if you¡¯re not busy today, can you help me pack my things?¡± She could tell that Bai Weiwei had something to say to her alone. Anhao hesitated for a moment before turning to look at Huang Amao.¡±Go downstairs and wait for me in the car. I¡¯ll be down soon.¡± Huang Amao pulled her back and whispered,¡±This woman looks like a pure white lotus. You have to be careful.¡±¡± ¡°I know, but as a neighbor, plus she¡¯s the deputy director of the Construction Bureau, and I¡¯m now a staff member of the government¡¯s construction department, it¡¯s not a good thing to have a direct conflict. I¡¯ll improvise.¡± Anhao patted her arm and handed the small suitcase to Huang Amao. Huang Amao¡¯s face darkened as Anhao smiled at her.¡±Thanks ¡± ¡°Today is my disaster day. I was abused by Su Chunchun just now, and now I¡¯m working hard for you. I still have to worry about whether your neck will be broken by the white lotus.¡±Huang Amao muttered softly as he walked into the elevator. Anhao looked at the elevator and smiled, then turned around and walked over.¡±¡±What do you mean? Although I¡¯m not busy today, I can only spare a little time at most. My friend is still waiting for me.¡± ¡°Ah, Miss Gu, if your waist injury hasn¡¯t recovered yet, please help me tidy up some small things. My house is too messy, and I haven¡¯t hired anyone to clean it up recently. If my parents come and see my house, they will definitely scold me.¡±Bai Weiwei said as she opened the door. Anhao entered the room with her. Actually, she wanted to see what Bai Weiwei was trying to do. However, when she entered the house, she realized that her house Where exactly was it chaotic? Everything was neatly arranged, and all the furniture was high-end and tasteful. Whether it was the wine glasses on the small bar counter, the red wine in the wine cabinet, or all the other things that belonged to Bai Weiwei¡¯s house, it was definitely a clean and stylish environment. As soon as she walked in, Anhao realized that Bai Weiwei¡¯s first move was to use her taste and style to bully her ¡± fragile ¡± heart. However, when Bai Weiwei turned around to look at Anhao, who had already entered the room, she saw Anhao looking inside calmly. She asked without any feeling of being compared,¡±¡±So clean. Miss Bai, are you joking with me?¡± Chapter 707 - Chapter 707 Carrying You to the Shower (3) Chapter 707 Carrying You to the Shower (3) Translator: 549690339 Bai smiled and walked in.¡±¡±What would you like to drink, Miss Gu?¡± Anhao stood in front of the door without moving. She didn¡¯t even change her shoes. She just smiled at Bai Weiwei¡¯s back and didn¡¯t answer correctly. Sensing Anhao¡¯s rejection and alienation, Bai Weiwei turned to her again and said,¡±¡±Actually, I just want to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Miss Gu.¡± ¡°Miss Bai, if you want to talk to me, you can just go down and find a tea room together. Why use such an excuse to coax me over?¡±Anhao found it a little funny.¡± Miss Bai, do you think that you¡¯ve been spoiled by everyone since you were young? No one will blame you even if you tell a harmless lie?¡±¡± Bai Weiwei looked at her in surprise.¡±¡±I did come back to pack my things. Of course, I¡¯m actually packing some luggage from my bedroom. After all, I¡¯ve just officially moved in not long ago, but most of them are personal items. It¡¯s not convenient for Miss Gu to see them. Actually, I just wanted to take the opportunity to sit down and talk with Miss Gu.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to look for her now. Since it¡¯s nothing serious, if Miss Bai¡¯s purpose is to say a few words, then please say it. I¡¯ll leave after you¡¯re done.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t even change her shoes. She just stood in front of the door without any intention of giving her any face. ¡°Miss Gu, you don¡¯t have to be so wary of me.¡±Bai Weiwei curled her lips.¡± Actually, I¡¯m just curious. I heard that Hancheng married you three years ago, but you¡¯re only twenty-three years old this year, Miss Gu. Besides, you didn¡¯t even graduate from high school before you went abroad. I¡¯ve never been able to figure this out ¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t figured it out either.¡± ¡°Miss Bai is investigating me?¡± Anhao smiled.¡± Bai Weiwei didn¡¯t respond to her question. She poured a glass of water and handed it to her as if it was a matter of course.¡±It wasn¡¯t really an investigation. I was just curious, so I learned about it from many aspects.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t take the water cup, but looked at the calm look in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes with a faint smile, as if this kind of ¡± understanding from all sides ¡± was something that could be said openly. ¡°It seems that I should be flattered that I can let the dignified Miss Bai try to understand more about my matter.¡±Anhao still didn¡¯t take the cup and said casually,¡±¡±Thank you, but I¡¯m not thirsty.¡± Bai Weiwei placed the glass of water on the table by the door and stood in front of Anhao. She was wearing a light-colored business suit, her long hair hanging behind her like gorgeous waves, and her makeup was exquisite and noble. She looked at Anhao with no hostility, as if she was examining her for a while, and said,¡±¡±Miss Gu, I really don¡¯t have any hostility. I just sincerely want to tell you my opinion. Since Miss Gu is in a hurry, I won¡¯t waste time with you.¡± ¡°Please.¡± Anhao tilted her head and chuckled. ¡°You and Han City are not suitable for each other.¡± After Bai Weiwei said that, she looked into Anhao¡¯s still calm eyes and said,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t mean to hurt you. It¡¯s just that you¡¯re not suitable for each other with your status in Han City and your background, Miss Gu. Even though Hancheng might have compassion for you, and it might become an instinctive protection and love for you over time, it will definitely not last long. The Zuo family will probably not accept a woman with no background like you as their daughter-in-law. So, I suggest Miss Gu to think twice before you act. Don¡¯t drag Hancheng down. He¡¯s not suitable for you.¡± Anhao was still smiling.¡± So, Miss Bai, what you mean is that you¡¯ve already ¡®investigated¡¯ my background in many ways, but you don¡¯t want to hurt me. You just want to tell me that Zuo Hancheng and I are not suitable for each other and suggest that I leave him. Is that so?¡±¡± Bai Weiwei looked at the coldness in Anhao¡¯s eyes and said gently,¡±¡±Miss Gu is a very good person. As long as she is in your life circle, she will be able to get ordinary happiness. Even if you find the boss of a real estate company, or a small company, or a successful businessman, you can buy a few houses together, have two or three cars, and have another child. This kind of ordinary and rich life is more suitable for you, but Hancheng ¡± At this point, Bai Weiwei suddenly sighed and smiled,¡±¡±Hancheng is the successor of Zuo family in America. According to my understanding of his grandfather, he will never accept you. That old man has a strange personality. If you see him, you will definitely be hurt by his words. You may not know how big the Zuo family is. With Hancheng¡¯s status, it is impossible for him to have a woman who is too ordinary. You may think that the happiness in front of you is for a lifetime, but you will never be together for a lifetime. The world of Han City is too big, and your world is too small. You two are not suitable.¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s voice was very soft and her tone sounded very tactful, but it made Anhao sneer from the bottom of her heart. However, Anhao¡¯s smile was very clear, and her attitude was also a little mocking towards Bai Weiwei. There was no longer so much politeness in her eyes.¡±Since Miss Bai has already said so, then I have to tell you clearly that I used to live in the Zuo family in the United States for some time. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s parents were very good to me. They were very open-minded parents. As for Old Master Zuo, he was indeed a little stubborn. He had also wanted to arrange a granddaughter-in-law for Zuo Hancheng who was more suitable for him than Miss Bai. Unfortunately, no matter how stubborn Old Master Zuo was, he could not reject Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wish. Oh right, he also has a younger sister. If Miss Bai is curious about the Zuo family in the United States, you don¡¯t have to investigate anymore. You can just ask me directly.¡± Bai Weiwei did not expect Anhao to visit the Zuo family. Her calm and gentle eyes were now filled with surprise, but she hid it well. Her eyes only changed slightly before she retracted her gaze and looked at her gently,¡±¡±It seems that Miss Gu has put in a lot of effort to stay by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for a few more years.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t seem to understand what Miss Bai means.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I rarely speak so bluntly.¡±Seeing that Anhao was unmoved, Bai Weiwei decided to let it go and said,¡±¡± I just think that you must have your charm to be able to return to Han City after leaving for three years. But I sincerely feel that you two are not suitable for each other. You can¡¯t bring any benefits to Han City. In fact, you¡¯re just a burden to him. Miss Gu should know this very well.¡± Chapter 708 - Chapter 708 Carrying You to the Shower (4) Chapter 708 Carrying You to the Shower (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°So?¡± Anhao looked at her coldly.¡± Miss Bai, what you mean is that I should have some self-awareness now and take the initiative to withdraw and make way for you?¡±¡± Bai smiled faintly.¡± Miss Gu, please don¡¯t misunderstand. Han Cheng and I are really just friends. Although Han Cheng has been taking care of me for the past few years, I know my limits. Of course, my parents really hope that Han Cheng can marry me, but the thoughts of the elders are only the thoughts of the elders. We, the younger generation, can¡¯t really follow their thoughts completely ¡± ¡°Miss Bai¡¯s parents seem to value you very much. Even if you want the moon in the sky, even if this moon doesn¡¯t belong to you, they will think of a way to pluck it for you. Is that right?¡±Anhao¡¯s attitude remained calm. ¡± That¡¯s not what we¡¯re talking about right now. Miss Gu, you should be very clear about your own situation. Even though you¡¯re no longer a student, you¡¯re still a small designer who doesn¡¯t even have a house of your own. I heard that Han City helped you pay for your studies abroad ¡± Bai Weiwei stopped and looked at Anhao, who was still unmoved, with pity.¡±¡±Miss Gu, I¡¯m just stating the facts. Don¡¯t think that my words are too harsh.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not bad. It¡¯s not bad. There are only three kinds of women in this world. The first kind of women rely on themselves, the second kind of women rely on their men, and the third kind of women rely on their parents.¡±Anhao stopped talking and smiled at the surprise in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes.¡±¡±Miss Bai, my friend is still waiting for me downstairs. Let¡¯s stop here.¡± Anhao turned around and opened the door. However, she suddenly stopped when she reached the door. Bai Weiwei looked at her back and asked,¡±¡±Miss Gu, did you suddenly think it through?¡± Anhao smiled and turned to look at her.¡±¡±If Miss Bai wasn¡¯t born in the Bai family, your noble knowledge, the position of deputy director at a young age, and these houses and cars that you bought in your own name, I¡¯m afraid none of them would be yours. Although it¡¯s not noble to rely on your parents or men, at least you can¡¯t be too much of a pot calling the kettle black. Speaking of which, the career and salary that I earned with my own abilities, no matter how meager it is, are engraved with my, Gu Anhao¡¯s, name. But Miss Bai, everything you have is engraved with your parents ¡®names. Why are you mocking me and yourself at the same time?¡± After she finished speaking, Anhao glanced at Bai Weiwei¡¯s flickering eyes indifferently and closed the door behind her. She turned around and walked towards the elevator. After moving her luggage to the famous city of Heng Hai with Huang Amao, Huang Amao left the police station in a hurry because of some urgent matters. Anhao had originally planned to treat Huang Amao to a barbecue tonight, so she could only do so temporarily. After packing up the books in her suitcase, Anhao sat on the sofa and looked at the lights outside the window. She suddenly realized that ever since she found out that Anping was not dead and that Anping was from the An family in the United States, she no longer had that much desire and curiosity about her past. Instead, she felt an unwarranted fear. She did not want to try to get close to those things anymore, afraid that there would be a truth that she could not bear. However, Bai Weiwei had used the biggest trump card of her family background to bombard her. Although Anhao did not feel anything, the mystery of her family background suddenly enveloped her like a big net, making her suddenly remember how much her mother loved her when she was young. Since it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t love her, why did he fake his death and leave? Was it because she didn¡¯t deserve to enter the An family, or was there something else? After all, he had lived by An Ping¡¯s side for more than ten years. Could he really abandon his kinship just like that? If she said she would never see him again, she would really never see him again At three o¡¯clock in the morning, there was a slight sound coming from the door. Zuo Hancheng walked in and saw Anhao sleeping on the sofa. She held a pillow in her arms, and her entire body seemed to have removed all the armor and defenses. She curled up on the wide sofa, making her look even more petite than the others. Zuo Hancheng walked over and gently ran his hand through her hair. At the same time, he lifted her head slightly from the back of the sofa. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he did not wake her up. He only slowly and gently removed the pillow from her arms. However, the moment the pillow left Anhao¡¯s arms, she suddenly woke up and opened her eyes with a blank look. Instinctively, she tried to reach for the pillow in the dark, but she ended up touching Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. There was suddenly someone next to her at night, and Anhao subconsciously became alert first. However, when she felt that the person had bent down and smelled the familiar clean smell on his body, she gradually relaxed. She only looked at Zuo Hancheng who bent down and picked her up in a daze. She asked in a daze,¡±Why are you back? Don¡¯t you have to come back during the day tomorrow ¡± ¡°I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to sleep well at home alone, so I booked a night flight to come back early after the meeting.¡±Zuo Hancheng carried her to the bedroom.¡± I was right. You didn¡¯t even take off your clothes and just curled up on the sofa to sleep. Do you want your neck and waist to hurt tomorrow?¡±¡± ¡°Not only did I not take off my clothes, I didn¡¯t even take a shower. I originally went back to Luxury Court Private Park to move some books and luggage over. When I came back, I was so busy packing that I was covered in sweat. Then, I sat on the sofa and fell asleep for some reason.¡±Anhao simply rested her head on his shoulders and asked in a half-awake state,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, if we go back to America in a few days, will Grandpa still not accept me?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was gentle but firm. Anhao was so sleepy that she lay on his shoulder lazily without moving. She closed her eyes and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me you talked to the old master behind my back again?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and did not answer her. He did not carry her into the bedroom after hearing that she had not showered. Instead, he paused when he reached the bedside.¡±Shall I carry you to the shower?¡± ¡°Yes ¡± Anhao was in a daze in his arms and was about to fall asleep. She did not even know what he had promised her. It was only when Zuo Hancheng really carried her and turned to leave the bedroom that she suddenly realized what he had just said. She suddenly looked up and asked with an expression as if she had just woken up,¡±¡± What did you just say?!¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and lowered his head to plant a gentle kiss on the corner of her sleepy eyes. Then, he kissed the tip of her nose and slowly landed on her lips. He coaxed her gently,¡±Didn¡¯t you say that you haven¡¯t showered yet? I¡¯ll carry you to the bathroom, okay?¡± Chapter 709 - Chapter 709 President Zuo Is Simply Insane (1) Chapter 709 President Zuo Is Simply Insane (1) Translator: 549690339 All of Anhao¡¯s sleeping bugs were gone in an instant. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was really going to carry her into the bathroom, she quickly raised her hand and pushed him on the shoulder.¡±Put me down. I¡¯m not injured or sick. I don¡¯t need you to help me wash up. Besides, I¡¯m too tired. I¡¯ll wash up tomorrow morning, okay?¡± ¡°Sure, I haven¡¯t washed it yet.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and kissed her again. He turned around and carried her back to the bedroom. Anhao quickly raised her hand and pushed him a few times.¡±You have the smell of a travel-worn plane. You rushed to a meeting during the day and then rushed back without sleeping. It¡¯s not even dawn yet. Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± ¡°I¡¯m tired, but I won¡¯t feel tired if I hug you.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips lingered in her ear.¡±¡±I rushed back overnight. Aren¡¯t you touched at all?¡± ¡°Touched that you rushed back overnight to sleep with me?¡±Anhao smiled and avoided his kiss. She raised her hand to block him.¡±Don¡¯t, it tickles!¡± ¡°Where is it itchy?¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand down and laid her down on the bed at the same time. Before Anhao could sit up, he pressed her down and kissed her sensitive ears. She trembled but did not dare to move. His kiss gradually flowed onto her lips again. This kiss was very long and it made Anhao completely realize that he had returned early because of her. Was it because he knew that the three years of waiting had been too long, so he couldn¡¯t bear to let her wait even one more night? When the kiss was over, Zuo Hancheng placed his arms on both sides of her body and looked down at her.¡±¡±What did you get from the Imperial Court yesterday?¡± ¡°Books, and some clothes that I can occasionally use.¡±Anhao lay under him obediently and did not move. When he entered the room earlier, he saw a few books on architecture on the coffee table. They were very thick and heavy. He could guess that she must have been tidying up late last night and was very tired. Hence, Zuo Hancheng chuckled and asked softly,¡±¡±Are you completely planning to stay at my place and not go back?¡± ¡°Anyway, that place and this place are your places . If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I¡¯m still Mrs. Zuo, I would really suspect that I¡¯m being kept by you. Whether it¡¯s food, clothing, or accommodation, it seems to be related to you.¡±Anhao remembered Bai Weiwei¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but take it to heart. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and kissed her on the lips.¡±¡±Silly girl, I¡¯m your husband. If your food, clothing, and accommodation are not related to me, then who else can it be related to?¡± ¡°But I can obviously earn money myself ¡± Anhao tilted her head, her face full of frustration. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep voice lingered in her ears.¡±¡±Keep the money you earned well. I¡¯ll take care of everything. There¡¯s no need to suffer, okay?¡± As she spoke, Zuo Hancheng caressed her head.¡±¡±Go to sleep. I¡¯ve been on a flight all day. I¡¯ll go take a shower first.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao nodded obediently in his arms until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her forehead. She smiled and reached out to hug his neck. She raised her head and kissed his chin. Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at the little woman who was still half-asleep after being woken up. His gaze was dark as he kissed her lips again as if he was punishing her.¡±Are you trying to keep me here?¡± ¡°No!¡± Anhao let go of his neck and laid her hands flat on the bed with an innocent expression.¡±¡±Hurry up and take a shower. I heard that it¡¯s especially hot in Shanghai today. You¡¯ve been on a plane for a whole day and have a meeting in Shanghai.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng had already reached into her clothes when she finished speaking. Anhao curled up and smiled as she avoided him.¡±Don¡¯t touch anything. Go take a shower!¡± ¡°Say what you just said again.¡± ¡°I said you stink to death, go take a shower Ah, ah, ah, Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve gone too far. Don¡¯t touch anything. Ah, don¡¯t touch that place Aiya .¡± Anhao avoided his hand and begged for mercy. In the end, she buried her face in his arms and whispered,¡±¡±I was wrong, okay? You must be very tired after a day of flying. Hurry up and take a shower and rest early .¡± How could Zuo Hancheng stink? He was obviously a neat freak, and his scent was always clean and pleasant. He always had his unique scent that made her feel at ease. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and kissed her deeply and heavily on the lips for a long time. It was only when Anhao¡¯s eyes turned black and her mind went blank because of the lack of oxygen that he let go of her and got up to leave the bedroom. Anhao turned over and hid under the blanket. She curled up tightly in the blanket and stared at the back of the person who had walked out of the bedroom. The lights in the guest room were dimmed so it was not glaring. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had thrown his coat on the sofa, Anhao quietly continued to open her eyes to watch the process of Zuo Hancheng taking off his clothes. Although they had been together for three years, she had never seen Zuo Hancheng take off his clothes so seriously. In the past, when they were in bed, her clothes were basically taken off first. At most, she was only forced to untie his shirt and belt Just as she was thinking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded from outside.¡±¡±Do you want to come out and take a look?¡± Anhao was speechless. ¡°Why don¡¯t we shower together?¡± Anhao immediately covered her head with the blanket. ¡°Ha ¡± She seemed to hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s soft and faint laughter, but it was so low and hoarse that it made her heart clench. Damn it, in front of a man, just hearing his soft laughter from across the room made her feel like her blood was boiling! After a few more minutes, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Anhao then sneaked her head out of the blanket. She didn¡¯t know if Zuo Hancheng was taking a hot or cold shower. Anhao remembered that she hadn¡¯t finished the proposal that she had sent to the design department of Zheng F two days ago. At that time, she had forgotten to save it in her mailbox because of Xiao Qiu¡¯s matter, so she couldn¡¯t work at home. So, she went to Zheng F during the weekend afternoon when the few colleagues in the office had gone out for lunch. She wanted to save the proposal in her mailbox before going home to continue her work. After all, it had been a few days since the celebration party ended, and she had not come to work for the past few days. However, she also knew that because her colleagues knew her identity, everything would definitely change. She did not want to make too much of a fuss, so she rushed to the weekend when there were fewer people. When she walked into the office, she saw Zi Ran and a few female colleagues in the office. Although there were not many people, there were still four or five of them. When she saw Anhao walk in, Zi Ran looked at her in surprise. The other female colleagues also looked at her in shock. ¡°Sister Anhao? Why are you here? We thought that you wouldn¡¯t come back in the future ¡± Zi Ran stood up and quickly went up to him. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go eat?¡± Anhao asked. ¡°I¡¯m on a diet. I won¡¯t eat anything after lunch.¡±Zi Ran giggled. Chapter 710 - Chapter 710 President Zuo Is Crazy (2) Chapter 710 President Zuo Is Crazy (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Are they also on a diet?¡± Anhao glanced at her colleagues. ¡°They haven¡¯t finished their work yet, so they had no choice but to work overtime during the weekend and lunch break.¡±Zi Ran whispered as she held Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±Did you miss me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so smug. I¡¯m here to pass on some things.¡±Anhao walked into her office. Seeing that she was really busy, Zi Ran did not follow her. She only smiled and waved at Anhao outside before turning around to do her own things. Anhao sent the proposal to her private email and was about to turn off her computer when she suddenly saw that Mr. V¡¯s email was online. She immediately clicked on Mr. V¡¯s email in surprise and saw that his email was online. After hesitating for a moment, she sent him a blueprint of a seaside villa that she had randomly made before she went to bed two days ago. After all, she couldn¡¯t always strike up a conversation like this. This time, she would send him the blueprint first before speaking. It shouldn¡¯t cause Mr. V to be disgusted again, right? ¡°Mr. V.¡± After she sent the picture, about five minutes later, it showed that the picture file had been accepted. She began to type: ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you again. I don¡¯t know if you still plan to continue the renovation of the seaside villa. This is a new structural design that I¡¯ve recently made. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t need the renovation design for the time being, but I don¡¯t want to stop here, so I¡¯m sending you the drawing. I hope to create more inspiration for that villa. That villa is a happy love nest for you and your wife. I¡¯ve poured my heart and soul into it, and I don¡¯t want it to go to waste. Of course, I know the rules at the resort. Maybe in the next six months .¡± She didn¡¯t finish her sentence and typed a string of ellipses at the end. After all, the hard and fast rules of the tourist area couldn¡¯t be changed. If she said too much about this matter, it would make people think that she was complaining about this matter affecting her job. After thinking for a while, she continued typing,[Anyway, I still hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Mr. V. I hope to receive your good news. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore ] After typing, Anhao looked at the email she had sent. She no longer held much hope for this matter. However, she did not know why she was so interested in that seaside villa. In the past, it was only for the fifty thousand yuan. Now that Anping¡¯s matter no longer needed money to investigate, she still had more than twenty thousand yuan in her hands. Besides, with Zuo Hancheng by her side, she really could not spend much money. To put it bluntly, this fifty thousand yuan was actually a sum of extra money that she wanted to earn with her own ability. However, if she was really not fated, it did not matter even if she could not earn it. However, she kept thinking about that villa from time to time. She also remembered when she asked Mr. V if he was planning to build a business suite on the second floor of the villa or what style it should be. He only replied with three words: children¡¯s room. She did not know why she kept recalling that strange feeling. Back then, when she was standing in the villa, standing in the place where she was going to design the children¡¯s room, standing in front of the window, looking at the sea not far away, she inexplicably felt It was especially special Delight. The other party didn¡¯t reply. She didn¡¯t know if it was just a temporary connection or if there was a problem with the system. She casually opened the email records between the two of them and took a look at the password question that Mr. V had given her. 2315,19,149. These nine numbers were really difficult. Anhao didn¡¯t wait any longer. She turned off the computer and got up to leave the office. Initially, she had planned to go home, but she had decided to go to Shengling Group at the last minute. She could not ignore Zuo Hancheng¡¯s proposal to rebuild the company¡¯s headquarters last time. It was time for her to study this new job properly. After all, Shengling Group had left the Zuo family business, and the reconstruction should be officially put on the agenda. When she arrived at the company, Anhao did not look for Zuo Hancheng directly. After all, she did not know if he was in a meeting or busy with something. She did not bother the front desk to pass the message for her. Instead, she gave Lin Qing a call. A few minutes later, Lin Qing came downstairs to pick her up.¡±Why didn¡¯t you go up to President Zuo directly? Don¡¯t you know the password to the elevator?¡± ¡°If there¡¯s someone important in his office discussing something, it wouldn¡¯t be good for me to barge in alone. I just wanted to ask you if he was busy, but you came down to pick me up.¡±Anhao looked at the time as she spoke.¡±¡±Isn¡¯t he in a meeting at this time?¡± ¡°No, President Zuo is in his office. However, there are some special projects and plans that need to be reviewed by him personally, so he asked me to come down to pick you up.¡± ¡°Did he hear me when I called you?¡±Anhao was surprised. Lin Qing smiled.¡± Yes, I was in President Zuo¡¯s office giving a report just now. Under normal circumstances, I shouldn¡¯t be answering the phone casually. But of course, I can answer your call.¡±¡± Anhao was instantly embarrassed.¡± If I had known earlier, I would have gone up to look for him directly. I¡¯d have to trouble you to make a trip.¡±¡± Lin Qing smiled and walked into the elevator with her,¡±¡±If it were any other woman, she would have already relied on her relationship with President Zuo to do whatever she wanted in the company every day, or she would have directly asked the front desk to look for President Zuo. Unlike you, who is very polite every time she comes.¡± Anhao smiled and didn¡¯t explain. This was a matter of habit and shouldn¡¯t be considered a good character. She could only say that she would never be able to do something like that in her life. She said half-jokingly,¡±I¡¯m not a crab.¡± Zuo Hancheng was indeed in the office. After sending Anhao over, Lin Qing gave Anhao a look, meaning that Anhao could go in by herself. Anhao thought about it and knocked on the door. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from inside.¡±Come in.¡± It was faint, but it seemed like he knew that she was the one knocking on the door, so his voice did not sound particularly cold. Anhao pushed the door open and walked in. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was reviewing some documents. When she saw her enter the office, she gave her a glance and continued to look at the documents. Her voice was clear and deep.¡±Sit down and wait for me.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask me why I suddenly came over?¡±Anhao did not disturb him. She turned around and walked to the sofa. She took out the blueprint from her bag and looked at it. When she turned around, she saw that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be really busy, so she did not mention the blueprint to him immediately. She sat on the sofa with one hand supporting her chin and writing. In the end, she got bored of waiting. She took another blank blueprint and wrote a few numbers on it. 2315,19,149. She raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was comparing the data on the computer screen with the data in his hand. Chapter 711 - Chapter 711 President Zuo Is Crazy (3) Chapter 711 President Zuo Is Crazy (3) Translator: 549690339 An hour later, Zuo Hancheng was done with some documents that he needed to review personally. He shifted his gaze away from the computer screen and let go of the mouse at the same time. His slender fingers rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He turned around and saw Anhao sitting on the sofa with her chin resting on her hand, staring at a piece of white paper in her hand. Seeing that she seemed to have been in a daze for a long time, Zuo Hancheng looked at the computer screen again. At this time, he saw a new email notification from the automatic online mailbox in the upper right corner. He clicked it open and saw that there was a long paragraph on the latest villa structure drawing. After reading it, he closed the mailbox and walked over. Anhao was staring at the string of numbers on the paper in a daze when she suddenly felt Zuo Hancheng approaching. She immediately snapped out of her daze and saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked over. Before she could sit up straight, Zuo Hancheng had already bent over and trapped her between the sofa and her body.¡±You, Gu Anhao, are the only one who dares to wander in my office.¡± Anhao immediately laughed and raised the paper in her hand to block his handsome face that was about to invade her.¡±Stop it. I¡¯m not Lin Qing or Mo Bai. I¡¯m not your employee. Even if I¡¯m sleeping here, what can you say about me?¡± ¡°Sleep here?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and stroked her head.¡±¡±There¡¯s a resting room inside. Have you forgotten?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t slept in your office before.¡±Anhao took the opportunity when he got up and quickly sat up straight on the sofa.¡±¡±By the way, I happen to have a very serious question that I need to ask you. Help me see what this string of numbers means!¡± Anhao raised the paper in her hand and handed it to him.¡±¡±This is it. 2315, 19, 149. These nine numbers are said to be a string of passwords, but I haven¡¯t figured out what the password is related to. I haven¡¯t found the source yet. It¡¯s been more than a month, but I still haven¡¯t figured out what¡¯s wrong with this password. If this number is cracked, I might still have a chance to earn that 50,000 yuan. Otherwise, I might not even have a chance.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the string of numbers and raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid. ¡°How is it? Did you see what the password meant?¡±Anhao stretched her neck and asked him,¡±Is it related to the location?¡± I¡¯ve even looked through the Electronic Earth Conference and tried to see if there are any coordinates with the same number, but it doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with coordinates ¡± ¡°Who gave you this question?¡±Zuo Hancheng asked with a half-smile. His gaze fell on her face, and he seemed to be hiding something. ¡°He¡¯s the owner of the seaside villa in your resort.¡±Anhao looked defeated.¡± He gave me this question that time and then ignored me. I now deeply suspect that he might be very stubborn and think that it was too easy for me to earn 50,000 yuan from him, so he actually gave me this kind of brain-racking question. God knows that for someone like me who didn¡¯t even study hard for three years in high school, I¡¯m only interested in architectural design. This kind of numerical question is a huge torture for me.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile deepened as he placed the piece of paper on the coffee table.¡±¡±It¡¯s been so long. Don¡¯t you have any ideas?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Anhao leaned back on the sofa.¡± I¡¯m usually fine. But when I see these numbers, my brain is filled with messy lines. It¡¯s like I¡¯m about to explode.¡±¡± ¡°Since you can¡¯t solve it, why don¡¯t you tell him?¡± ¡°What if the other party is just giving me a test to see if I¡¯m worthy of this 50,000 yuan? I can¡¯t . Too shameful, too embarrassing Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s half-smiling eyes.¡±¡±What are you laughing at?¡± Zuo Hancheng stood in front of her with one hand in his pocket. He had no intention of answering her question. Instead, he smiled and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll give you another month to solve the digital password yourself.¡± Anhao heard his completely unconventional words and immediately straightened her body in surprise.¡±¡±Why?¡± ¡°After you solve it, I¡¯ll give you 50,000 yuan.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile was still so deep that it was puzzling. Anhao looked at him in disbelief for a long time. In the end, she rolled her eyes and picked up the piece of paper to look at it. She was so angry that she could see a hole in the paper. After looking at it for a long time, her mind was still in a mess. She slammed the paper on the coffee table and looked up at him.¡±I say, do you rich people like this kind of perverted gameplay? You specially come up with this kind of number question to counter people like me who are not good at science!¡± As she spoke, she turned the paper around and faced him.¡±Help me untie it. When the owner of that seaside villa gives me the design money, I¡¯ll give you this 50,000 yuan, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not even look at it and pushed the piece of paper back to her. His attitude was calm and firm.¡±Untie it yourself.¡± Anhao glared at him.¡± ¡°How old are you? I¡¯m doing my own things.¡± Anhao was like a deflated balloon as she slumped on the sofa, looking at the office lights and sighing,¡±¡±That Mr. V is probably an old stubborn man. I thought he was some kind of loving man of the century. Now that I think about it, he said that his wife hasn¡¯t returned yet. Maybe something happened between him and his wife, such as a year-old relationship or something. Or maybe, the woman he likes married someone else. He waited and waited and waited until he got old, but that woman didn¡¯t come back. It¡¯s just that he thinks that woman is his wife .¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say a word. He looked at her mumbling while grinding her teeth. ¡°Or maybe! It¡¯s because his relationship path is too difficult. His wife left him. He¡¯s old and withdrawn. Moreover, I find that every time he replies to my emails, he takes a very long time. I think he must be a stubborn old man because his typing is especially slow! He¡¯s probably about the same age as your grandfather!¡±Anhao nodded with certainty as she spoke,¡±¡±He thinks that it¡¯s too easy for me to get 50,000 yuan just by asking me to design a villa renovation plan, right? That¡¯s why he gave me such a question. Perhaps this question is unsolvable. He deliberately bullied a young man. Aiyaya, this old thing Mr. V is deliberately torturing me ¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. ¡°However ¡± Anhao suddenly said with a puzzled look,¡±¡±He asked me to prepare a children¡¯s room in the villa. This shows that he shouldn¡¯t be too old. A children¡¯s room means that his children are still very young, or that he doesn¡¯t have children yet ¡± ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not right. Even if an old man hasn¡¯t married a wife or given birth to a child yet, it¡¯s understandable that he would arrange a child¡¯s room in his new house to relieve his hunger and thirst after waiting for a child for decades ¡± ¡°Sigh, I¡¯ve been fooled by an old man for so long. I, Gu Anhao, have been wise all my life ¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. Chapter 712 - Chapter 712 President Zuo Is Crazy (4) Chapter 712 President Zuo Is Crazy (4) Translator: 549690339 Just as Anhao was sighing with emotion, she suddenly noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was a little unusual. She immediately looked down at her clothes and then looked up at him.¡±Why are you looking at me like that?¡± ¡°Are you wearing this for tonight¡¯s banquet?¡±Zuo Hancheng ignored the question about Mr. V and asked with a deep gaze. Banquet? Anhao was stunned at first, then she remembered the banquet that Zuo Hancheng had promised a few days ago. To put it bluntly, the Construction Bureau had invited Zuo Hancheng in the name of the government, but in fact, they wanted to matchmake Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei for this banquet. Although she had taken it to heart, she had never taken it seriously. In the blink of an eye, she had forgotten that today was the day she had to go to the banquet on the weekend. ¡°Then do I need to go back and change my clothes?¡±Anhao lowered her head and looked at the light gray short-sleeved sportswear that she was wearing. It looked a little boyish. She usually liked to wear it when she wasn¡¯t at work. It was convenient and comfortable. Moreover, her hair was tied into a neat ponytail and hung down behind her. She was wearing a pair of white sneakers, which was her standard outfit. Zuo Hancheng looked at her youthful and energetic appearance as if she had never been tainted by the world. A faint smile appeared in his eyes.¡±No need to change.¡± ¡°Sportswear is fine too?¡± Anhao raised her hand uncomfortably and tidied her clothes. Then, she raised her hand and touched the ponytail that she had casually tied up.¡±I won¡¯t embarrass you by being so casual, right?¡± ¡°Shame on what?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change.¡± Tonight¡¯s banquet is indeed not important. I just want you to be as casual as possible.¡±¡± ¡°Then you should have said so earlier. I still have more casual clothes at home. There are also two pairs of ripped jeans hidden in my suitcase.¡±Anhao smiled as she turned to look outside.¡±¡±Eh? Mobai is outside. Is he looking for you? You know I¡¯m here, so you came in directly?¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around to look at the door when he heard that. Mobai saw Zuo Hancheng beckoning him to come in, so he pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°President Zuo, Stephen¡¯s company in the UK has a small financial crisis and is sending you a distress letter. They hope that Shengling Group will help them tide over the difficulties according to the current financial capital chain in the UK.¡± Mobai said as he handed Zuo Hancheng a document that was printed out of a faxed document and an electronic file.¡±¡±Stephen is waiting for your reply in the electronic conference room area. In the past six months, due to some changes in the international situation, the status of the United Kingdom in the European Union has completely declined. Many of the financial industry chains in the United Kingdom have also been interrupted. Although Stephen and we are already old friends, I think we can do this or not. However, Stephen is now desperate and has begun to play the emotional card. I have no right to refute this privately, so I can only ask President Zuo for your opinion.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the faxed and printed documents in his hands. After a few minutes, he said,¡±¡±He¡¯s in the electronic conference room?¡± ¡°Yes, he¡¯s waiting for you to cooperate with him in researching the financial chain. He hopes that you can give him an answer as soon as possible.¡±After Mobai finished speaking, he turned to look at Anhao, who was sitting on the sofa and listening to their conversation seriously without interrupting. He smiled at her and said,¡±¡±Anhao, I¡¯m sorry. If it wasn¡¯t an emergency, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have come in to disturb you and President Zuo.¡± Anhao rested her forehead on one hand and smiled at him.¡±¡±I¡¯m just here to sit down. I won¡¯t affect your work.¡± As she spoke, she picked up the piece of paper on the coffee table and began to study the question that Mr. V had given her. Although her impression of Mr. V had been greatly reduced, she couldn¡¯t just give in to such a digital password question! Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had said that if she could solve the password, he would give her another fifty thousand yuan! On the one hand, money could make the world go round. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng was obviously looking down on her intelligence, so she was instantly motivated! Zuo Hancheng looked back and saw that Anhao was still diligently studying the string of numbers. His thin lips curled up slightly, and in the next moment, he gave Mobai a look under his curious gaze, hinting him not to ask more. Mobai understood and didn¡¯t say anything. He only said,¡±¡±Then Stephen ¡± ¡°There¡¯s a banquet with the Construction Bureau tonight. I¡¯ll give him an hour to describe the possibility of helping me in the future. Tell the finance department¡¯s executives and Stephen.¡±Zuo Hancheng said. Mobai nodded, turned around, and walked out. Although Anhao was studying the string of numbers on the paper, she had also heard the conversation between Zuo Hancheng and Mobai. After Mobai walked out, she looked up and said,¡±¡±I heard that there have been a lot of riots in England this year. The unrest over there is not ordinary now. We can¡¯t judge the financing based on human relations alone. That Stephen guy is throwing a deep-water grenade at you.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and glanced at her.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been too free recently, so I¡¯ve been paying attention to global affairs and know about the situation in England.¡±¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the global affairs for now. Focus on solving your password.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her again before he turned around and walked out. Anhao sat alone in the president¡¯s office and looked at the password question in front of her. She had a headache and directly hung her head on the coffee table. She let out a long sigh of defeat. Why did numbers exist in this world? At seven o¡¯clock in the evening, Anhao sat in the car and looked at the neon lights outside the car. She then turned to look at Zuo Hancheng who was driving.¡±Didn¡¯t you say that there was a banquet tonight? Why did they choose Jingshang Entertainment City? That kind of place is obviously not suitable for people with such high status and power like you.¡± ¡°Most of the people tonight are friends who have a good personal relationship with Director Chen. Whether it¡¯s the people from the Construction Bureau or the government, their average age is no more than forty years old.¡±Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not find this strange. ¡± It turns out that you are young. No wonder you chose to be in Entertainment City.¡±¡±Anhao continued to look out of the car window, searching for the location of Jingshang Entertainment City.¡±¡±I heard that most of the places there are places for eating and drinking. There are no private rooms dedicated to eating, and there are basically KTV rooms in the private rooms. Although these kinds of casinos and entertainment clubs are usually places where rich people often go to play, why would someone like Bai Weiwei go to such a place with them?¡± ¡°What kind of person is Bai Weiwei?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled.¡± Anhao glared at him.¡± It¡¯s not that kind of person. The important thing is that someone is going to push her to you tonight. Are you sure you want me to go with you?¡±¡± The jealousy in Anhao¡¯s words was too obvious. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a deep smile in his eyes. Chapter 713 - Chapter 713 President Zuo Is Crazy (5) Chapter 713 President Zuo Is Crazy (5) Translator: 549690339 The jealousy in Anhao¡¯s words was too obvious. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her with a deep smile in his eyes. The car stopped outside Jingshang Entertainment and Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng out of the car. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had signaled for the staff at the parking lot to drive his car to the front, Anhao turned around and glanced at the parking lot beside them. All of them were high-end cars, and the cheapest car was no less than 800,000 yuan. Anhao was stunned. She felt that when she usually followed Zuo Hancheng to the company or the government, those people were too low-key, especially in front of the government. No matter how rich or powerful they were, they did not dare to drive a luxury car out to show off. However, in the parking lot outside the entertainment city, one could directly see the true ¡± meaning ¡± of these so-called government leaders. They were all leaders of the government and the Construction Bureau. It was already good enough to drive a car worth 200,000 to 300,000 yuan during the day, but at night, they were all luxury cars like Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz Zuo Hancheng had his car driven to the front. Was he trying to draw a clear line with the cars in the parking lot? As Anhao was deep in thought, someone came forward to welcome her. It was Bureau Chief Chen from the Construction Bureau and a few other leaders from the Construction Bureau. They greeted her warmly and greeted her with greetings. Zuo Hancheng only gave her a few polite words before turning around to look at Anhao, who had no intention of getting involved in the atmosphere, signaling her to follow. When Anhao saw that none of these people were familiar with the government, most of them were from the Construction Bureau. She guessed that something must have happened tonight. If Zuo Hancheng had not given face to Bureau Chief Chen and the Bai family, he would have directly rejected the matter tonight. Anhao walked over as if she knew what was going on. She took the initiative to hold Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm in front of Chief Chen and the others. At the same time, she smiled under the surprised gazes of those people. ¡°This is ¡± A few of them did not have a clear impression of Anhao, but when they saw her actions and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s obvious concern for her, they were puzzled for a moment. Didn¡¯t everyone discuss this earlier? She wanted to matchmake Bai Weiwei from the Construction Bureau with Zuo Hancheng, but why did Zuo Hancheng bring a female companion? Moreover, their relationship seemed to be so intimate and unusual? Chief Chen saw this and quickly said,¡± This is Mrs. Zuo. She just came back from abroad. If you have noticed the designers of the two major renovation projects in the province, you will definitely know Mrs. Zuo¡¯s name!¡± The few of them were still looking at Anhao with a blank expression, then at Bureau Chief Chen. They suddenly felt that tonight¡¯s matter had inexplicably gone down the drain Didn¡¯t they say that they wanted Zuo Hancheng to build a close relationship with the Construction Bureau? However, everyone present was also very resourceful. After a moment of doubt, they quickly said,¡±So that¡¯s what happened. Then it seems that we¡¯re still ignorant. We actually don¡¯t know when President Zuo got married, and we¡¯ve never even heard of Mrs. Zuo¡¯s existence.¡± Hearing this, Anhao glanced at the person who spoke. Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not a public figure who can be judged by the media. There¡¯s no need to announce my marriage to the public, let alone ordinary people. After all, family and marriage were their own lives and had nothing to do with others. There was no need to let everyone know about Mrs. Zuo¡¯s existence.¡± The man had only wanted to show Anhao his power, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent words had slapped his face. He smiled awkwardly and did not say anything else. However, Anhao had some impression of the man. He was the director of the Construction Department in the Construction Bureau. His surname was Xue, and he was the kind of person who would often suck up to Bai Weiwei. After all, the Bai family was not to be underestimated, so it was not strange for him to suck up to Bai Weiwei. Anhao wasn¡¯t familiar with the others, but she was only familiar with Director Xue. After all, his words weren¡¯t polite. ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s go in quickly. Let¡¯s go in. There are still many friends waiting in the private room.¡±Chief Chen already knew how strong the presence of Anhao was, so he naturally would not provoke this matter again. He quickly opened his mouth to break the seemingly unobvious deadlock and welcomed Zuo Hancheng and Anhao into the house with a smile. Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked into the entertainment city and walked through the corridor into the innermost private room. All the people in the room were men, and the only woman was Bai Weiwei. Those people did not expect that there would be a second woman here tonight. When Anhao walked in, they saw Anhao, who was dressed in sportswear and had her hair tied up in a ponytail. Some people were surprised and confused, while some men were stunned. On the other hand, Bai Weiwei had specially changed into a long dress with a good cut and texture. It made her look noble and elegant. She sat in the crowd like a goddess. Although she was in a crowd of men, no one dared to sit too close to her or be too intimate with her. There was half a person¡¯s space on both sides of her body. It was a feeling that everyone was protecting her and no one dared to profane her. Bai Weiwei was even more eye-catching in a plain long dress. One had the aura of a goddess, while the other was dressed like a slovenly student. Moreover, Anhao didn¡¯t even put on light makeup today. She only applied some sunblock skincare products after washing up in the morning. Of course, the two women were of different ages. Bai Weiwei was noble and cold, and her temperament was different. She was already 27 or 28 years old. Anhao did not need to dress up or put on lipstick to brighten her skin. After all, she was only twenty-three years old, and her entire body was filled with confidence and vitality. Anhao walked into the room beside Zuo Hancheng. Although she did not deliberately hold his arm when she entered the room, Anhao had come with Zuo Hancheng. Their relationship was obvious. Everyone in the room looked at each other, not understanding the situation before them. A Section Chief Yu from the Construction Bureau, who had taken over the design drawings from Anhao, couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±Eh? Aren¡¯t you the one from the F design department ¡± ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Gu Anhao.¡± Anhao heard Chief Yu¡¯s voice and turned around to greet him generously. When Chief Yu heard this, he was sure that he had not recognized the wrong person. He felt that the situation tonight was much more unusual than they had imagined. President Zuo actually brought a female companion. It was really unexpected. Bai Weiwei, who had already known that Anhao would come, sat on the sofa calmly. She only glanced in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction when he walked through the door. When she saw Anhao who walked in with him, her eyes were very calm, and no emotions could be seen. Chapter 714 - Chapter 714 President Zuo Is Crazy (6) Chapter 714 President Zuo Is Crazy (6) Translator: 549690339 Bureau Chief Chen welcomed them with a smile and asked everyone to find a seat for President Zuo. It was as if they had already made an agreement. The few people beside Bai Weiwei immediately stood up, indicating that Zuo Hancheng should sit over there. Zuo Hancheng only glanced in that direction and did not seem to understand what they meant. He looked at the sofa on the other side and said,¡±¡±Chief Chen, it¡¯s hard to refuse your kindness, but I still have something to do tonight. I can¡¯t sit for too long.¡± He glanced at Anhao and she followed him. Both of them ignored the empty seat beside Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei, who had been calm all this while, now looked a little stiff. Those who had taken the initiative to give up their seats saw this situation and were afraid that she would be too embarrassed. They quickly sat back down and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Zuo Hancheng. Anhao did not notice what those people were talking about with Zuo Hancheng, but Chief Yu seemed to be very curious about her and asked directly,¡±¡±Gu Anhao, right? I know you¡¯re the chief designer of this provincial reconstruction project. The design proposal that you¡¯re in charge of is really not bad. Our leader has always praised your design level.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± This job is also my first official job after I came back from studying abroad. I¡¯m very grateful to all the leaders for not giving up on me. That¡¯s why I¡¯m lucky enough to be able to participate in this.¡±¡± ¡°So it¡¯s the designer.¡± A person sitting next to Bai Weiwei suddenly interjected with a smile,¡±¡±Is he the one who was favored by President Zuo in T City last time? I heard that President Zuo once mentioned that he would hand over the transformation case of Shengling Group to you. Is that true?¡± As soon as the man finished speaking, the other men who did not know the situation immediately looked at Anhao with ambiguous eyes, as if she was just a woman who was temporarily favored by Zuo Hancheng and was not worthy of being Bai Weiwei¡¯s opponent. Bureau Chief Chen kept winking at those people. Those people looked at Bureau Chief Chen in confusion and said with a smile,¡±By the way, Chief Chen, didn¡¯t you plan to invite President Zuo a long time ago? But President Zuo hasn¡¯t had the time to come. This time, you asked Deputy Director Bai to invite him, and he really did. Our Deputy Director Bai is really influential ¡± Chief Chen¡¯s scalp tingled as he looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Zuo Hancheng sat down on the sofa and placed his long arm on the back of the sofa behind Anhao. There was no sign of displeasure in his eyes because of these people¡¯s ¡± jokes ¡°. However, his action of holding Anhao in his arms surprised them. At this moment, someone whispered,¡±¡±What happened? Did President Zuo really bring a female companion? Could it be that the relationship between Gu Anhao and him is more ambiguous than we imagined?¡± ¡°Stop talking. Gu Anhao is not an ordinary person. President Zuo brought his wife here today.¡±The person who had already known about the situation outside the door whispered. ¡°Madam?¡± Those people were also shocked.¡±What wife? President Zuo got married to a man with a low status? ¡°What is it? President Zuo is married? Then what about our Deputy Director Bai?¡± One of them couldn¡¯t control himself and raised his voice. Originally, Anhao could almost hear everyone¡¯s whispers. Now that the person¡¯s voice suddenly rose, everyone looked in that direction and instantly fell silent. Zuo Hancheng, however, did not seem to be in the middle of any commotion. He simply leaned back on the sofa and smiled when everyone looked in his direction. He looked back at Anhao with a deep and serene gaze.¡±Can you adapt to such an occasion? If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to tell me. It¡¯s just a formality here. You can leave early.¡± ¡°No, I won¡¯t.¡± ¡°You know where I¡¯ve been in the past.¡± Anhao said calmly.¡± Her voice was very soft, and only Zuo Hancheng could hear her as she said,¡±¡±I¡¯m afraid that others will be even more uncomfortable than me. However, we agreed that it was only a banquet. The feeling of being the center of attention ever since we entered the door is really uncomfortable. I feel that it¡¯s not even convenient for me to lean on the sofa for a while. I can only sit upright like this. My waist is starting to hurt again.¡± Zuo Hancheng wrapped his long arm around her waist and asked in a low voice,¡±¡±It hurts again?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m just a little stiff from sitting.¡±Anhao smiled again. She noticed that the gazes on them seemed to be burning her, especially Bai Weiwei¡¯s face. She seemed calm, but her silence was not appropriate. Those who had wanted to matchmake Bai Weiwei and Zuo Hancheng were unable to say the lines they had prepared because of Mrs. Zuo¡¯s appearance. Bureau Chief Chen was trying to mediate the situation.¡± It¡¯s rare for President Zuo to gather with us, so let¡¯s not talk about President Zuo¡¯s matter. Everyone has been looking for an opportunity to have a drink with President Zuo, but we haven¡¯t had the chance. It¡¯s not easy for us to get together today, so relaxing is the most important!¡± They had specially invited Zuo Hancheng tonight. Although Zuo Hancheng did not come with sincerity, he was already present. Who would dare to not give Zuo Hancheng face? Who would dare to hurt Mrs. Zuo here? They probably did not want to live anymore. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Bureau Chief Chen.¡± It¡¯s alright. I¡¯m just passing by on my way to work. I¡¯ll leave after a while. Everyone, enjoy yourselves. Don¡¯t mind us too much.¡±¡± ¡°How can that do? Since President Zuo was here, he had to have a few drinks with everyone.¡±Section Chief Yu stood up and was about to propose a toast.¡±Outsiders like us don¡¯t know when President Zuo found a wife, but since we know that President Zuo got married today and we didn¡¯t get to drink the wedding wine, we should at least make up for it today! Come, Director Gu, President Zuo, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years! I¡¯ll drink first!¡± Section Chief Yu was really good at adapting to the situation. The others looked at each other and then at Bai Weiwei. Zuo Hancheng did not take the glass of wine from the Section Chief. He merely smiled and placed the glass on the crystal coffee table in front of him.¡±There¡¯s no chauffeur in the car. I¡¯m driving by myself, so I can¡¯t drink.¡± ¡°So President Zuo drove here himself. I was wondering why I didn¡¯t see the driver!¡±Section Chief Yu said happily,¡±Why don¡¯t you have a few drinks with us and let your wife drive?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as he glanced at Anhao who was beside him. Anhao answered directly,¡± I¡¯ve been studying architectural design overseas for the past few years. I didn¡¯t take the time to get a driver¡¯s license. It¡¯s illegal to drive on the road without a license.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you must be joking. How can you not know how to drive? As Mrs. Zuo, how could she not know how to drive? Don¡¯t tease us!¡± At this moment, Department Director Xue seemed to have grasped her weakness and said in a teasing manner. Chapter 715 - Chapter 715 President Zuo Is Crazy (7) Chapter 715 President Zuo Is Crazy (7) Translator: 549690339 She didn¡¯t know how to drive, but her words hit Anhao¡¯s sore spot. Anhao¡¯s smiling eyes turned sharp in an instant. She turned to look at Director Xue who suddenly interrupted. Upon receiving Anhao¡¯s gaze, Director Xue felt that she wasn¡¯t someone to be trifled with, so he immediately turned to talk to the person beside him to divert her attention. Anhao looked in his direction and asked coldly,¡±Is it strange that you don¡¯t know how to drive?¡± ¡°No, of course not.¡± ¡°Xiao Xue, what are you talking about?¡± Bureau Chief Chen quickly said.¡± Department Director Xue shut his mouth and did not say anything else. He only looked at Anhao with a sharp gaze. Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on Anhao¡¯s hand just as she was about to speak. Anhao paused and turned to look at him. She saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm and composed, and he tried to comfort her with his eyes. She did not feel angry at all. However, the fact that she could not drive was indeed a sore spot for her. It was also a huge trauma that she had left behind before she left the country. Now that she had been mentioned by someone unintentionally, she really wanted to tear his face apart. However, for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sake, she did not want to make a fuss over such a small matter. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had no intention of joining the party tonight. He had brought her along today to let everyone know in the most euphemistic way. He did not have to push Bai Weiwei to him anymore, and he did not have to think of ways to matchmake him with anyone. In front of these people who were eating the country¡¯s food, the most euphemistic way was also the most effective way to slap their faces. Under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, Anhao knew that she couldn¡¯t be too ostentatious, and she couldn¡¯t be too aggrieved. She curled her lips and turned to look at Director Xue, who was no longer talking nonsense.¡±Before I went abroad to study architectural design, I was still at the stage of studying and didn¡¯t have time to learn how to drive and get a driver¡¯s license. Now that I¡¯ve just returned to China, I¡¯ve already thrown myself into the latest reconstruction project in the province and focused on various new designs. I still don¡¯t have time to learn how to drive. Although I can¡¯t drive, it doesn¡¯t seem to be a strange thing. At most, it¡¯s when you want my husband to drink. Because I can¡¯t drive, he can¡¯t drink either. But there¡¯s nothing wrong with it, don¡¯t you think? Department Director Xue?¡± Anhao¡¯s words sounded gentle and light, but each word was sharp. In addition to her relationship with Zuo Hancheng, no one in the private room refuted her. Zuo Hancheng held her hand and placed it on his lap. He whispered in her ear,¡±If you want to learn, you can find time to learn. Mobai will arrange the best coach for you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any plans to learn it for the time being.¡± Anhao turned around and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome face under the dim light in the private room. The two of them were sitting very close to each other, and to others, they looked intimate, ambiguous, and envious. Her nose was filled with his scent, and her face was slightly hot. At the same time, she said,¡±Besides, is it really embarrassing not to know how to drive?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and caressed her head comfortingly.¡±¡±Don¡¯t take these people¡¯s words to heart. You also know why I brought you here today, so there are some things that you should just listen to.¡± ¡°I know. I¡¯m not that fragile. Besides, it¡¯s not certain who will take these things to heart.¡±Anhao said as she looked in the direction of those people. A few people were talking to Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei had a good attitude towards her colleagues from the Construction Bureau. She listened attentively as she talked to them in detail, as if she was not affected by Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. Tonight¡¯s theme was originally Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei. Now that everyone¡¯s plans had changed, Bai Weiwei knew that there would be changes tonight, but she still took the initiative to invite them. She did not know what her purpose was. Bureau Chief Chen took the opportunity to sit beside Zuo Hancheng and chat with him. This was a way to make the awkward atmosphere tonight seem a little more normal. The people from the Construction Bureau saw that Bureau Chief Chen was changing the topic intentionally or unintentionally, so they no longer continued to make a fuss about this matter. They all began to play their own games. For a moment, most of the people in the private room were scrambling to pick songs. Director Chen and Zuo Hancheng were discussing serious business, and Zuo Hancheng was giving Director Chen some face. Anhao noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude towards Director Chen was rather patient, so she sat quietly beside him. However, her hand was always held in his palm, and he didn¡¯t want her to feel left out in such an occasion. Even if it was just a small action, it made Anhao¡¯s warm heart ripple. She listened to those people singing and making a scene. From time to time, she could hear them jeering. Bai Weiwei was the only beauty in the Construction Bureau who had an extraordinary background and appearance. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the beauty of the bureau. Although those people did not dare to profane Bai Weiwei, they kept cheering her to sing. Bai Weiwei was stirred up by the group of people. When she stood up, she suddenly glanced in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Zuo Hancheng heard the commotion on the other side. When Chief Chen looked over, Zuo Hancheng also glanced in Bai Weiwei¡¯s direction. When Bai Weiwei met his eyes, she suddenly took the microphone from the person beside her and said,¡±I¡¯m not very good at singing. Usually, when I participate in such activities, I¡¯ll sit by the side and listen to others sing. Today . Since Han Cheng is here, I¡¯ll sing a song.¡± The crowd around her continued to laugh. Someone was already standing beside the karaoke table and asked her loudly,¡±Which song do you want to sing?¡± ¡°I like two people.¡± Bai Weiwei said softly. At the same time, her gaze was still on Zuo Hancheng. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze had already returned to Chief Chen. He continued to talk to Chief Chen as if nothing had happened. When she heard the name of the song, Anhao raised her head and looked at Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei¡¯s gaze never stopped on Anhao. She only looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s nonchalant attitude and her eyes darkened. At the same time, the prelude of the song was already playing in the room. She picked up the microphone and began to sing slowly. ¡± The heart will be tired and love will be cold. This is a necessary process in a relationship. It¡¯s just that some people give up, and some people are willing to wait ¡± ¡°Waiting for a discovery, waiting for a touch to make love boil again . Even if we care about our self-esteem, we have to admit that we rely on each other .¡± ¡°Give up your freedom to like two people. Two people who are tied together. Do you not give in to each other or love each other and share your life She didn¡¯t like the liveliness and liked the two of them Just the two of us In the floating and uneasy world, we find stability .¡± The meaning of the lyrics was too obvious. It was as if this was the first time Bai Weiwei had confessed in front of Zuo Hancheng in such a way. When she sang the lyrics in the middle, her eyes were fixed on Zuo Hancheng. Chapter 716 - Chapter 716 President Zuo Is Crazy (8) Chapter 716 President Zuo Is Crazy (8) Translator: 549690339 However, some people gave up, while others were willing to wait. Waiting for a discovery, waiting for a touch to make love boil again. The lyrics were so obvious and the motive was so obvious. Bai Weiwei was waiting for Anhao and Zuo Hancheng to separate. She was waiting for an opportunity. She was telling Zuo Hancheng that although she would not take the initiative to hurt anyone, she would always wait for him quietly. Anhao had heard this song before, but she had never thought that Bai Weiwei would sing it in such an occasion. Coupled with Bai Weiwei¡¯s melodious voice and the sadness in her eyes, everyone present was moved. It was as if Gu Anhao, who was sitting next to Zuo Hancheng, was the real third party. It was Gu Anhao who had interfered in the relationship between Bai Weiwei and Zuo Hancheng, causing Bai Weiwei to be so patient and wait quietly. ¡°It sounds good!¡± ¡°It¡¯s so nice! Xiaobai, you¡¯re simply our goddess!¡± Cheers and whistles filled the room. Even Chief Chen was affected by the atmosphere. He looked in that direction and then turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not feel any discomfort or embarrassment, he looked at Bai Weiwei with the same gaze. It was as if he did not realize that the song was sung for him. He smiled at Chief Chen and said,¡±Her singing was indeed not bad. What do you think, Chief Chen?¡± Bureau Chief Chen smiled. Actually, it¡¯s not easy ¡± Bureau Chief Chen suddenly changed the topic and said meaningfully,¡±¡±It¡¯s rare for the Bai family to let her wander around A City alone. We¡¯ve seen Xiao Bai go from being a shy girl who didn¡¯t really fit into this circle to being the deputy chief that everyone likes now ¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze landed on Bureau Chief Chen¡¯s face. Bureau Chief Chen realized what he had just said and immediately came back to his senses. He looked at Zuo Hancheng, but he saw the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. He knew that he had crossed the line again, so he quickly agreed,¡±Indeed, you sang very well.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was still chatting and laughing with Chief Chen, as if he did not care about the situation on her side, Bai Weiwei put down the microphone and turned around to talk to someone else. At this moment, someone beside her suddenly looked in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction.¡±Mrs. Zuo, there are only you and our Chief Bai here tonight. Our Chief Bai has sung it, do you want to sing it too?¡± Anhao¡¯s singing skills were not bad, but it did not mean that everyone could hear her sing. Besides, a place like a KTV was not an ordinary place. What was there for her to perform at? So she smiled and rejected him.¡± With Deputy Director Bai¡¯s opening, it¡¯s better not to put my singing skills, which are only suitable for fooling around with a group of sisters, on the stage and make people laugh at me. Besides, this is not a talent competition. Whoever wants to sing can sing. If not, they don¡¯t have to sing.¡±¡± ¡°Anyway, everyone is just trying to have fun. Mrs. Zuo, why don¡¯t you sing a song?¡± ¡± Yes, Mrs. Zuo. Why don¡¯t you sing a song?¡± Amidst the men¡¯s jeering, Bai Weiwei suddenly said,¡±¡±Hancheng, do you want to sing a song?¡± For a moment, everyone fell silent. Even Gu Anhao did not expect Bai Weiwei to be so proactive as to completely ignore the fact that Zuo Hancheng was married and Gu Anhao¡¯s existence. When Zuo Hancheng heard this, he turned to look at Bai Weiwei. Bai smiled slightly and raised the microphone in her hand as if she was about to pass it to him.¡±I just went over and ordered Eason¡¯s ¡®Red Rose¡¯. You should know how to sing it, right? Do you want to sing a song too?¡± Anhao had never heard Zuo Hancheng sing before. Although she knew that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was clear and he would be very good if he sang, it seemed like he had never sung before. However, Bai Weiwei completely ignored him and focused all her attention on Zuo Hancheng. She even used such a direct attitude in front of everyone. It was really How confident! Anhao did not know if Zuo Hancheng knew how to sing this song, but it was obvious that Zuo Hancheng had no intention of getting up to take the microphone. Either he did not intend to give Bai Weiwei face, or Zuo Hancheng knew the lyrics of this song. When I hugged you from behind, I was looking forward to her face. If Zuo Hancheng sang the lyrics, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it would be enough to hurt Anhao and make Bai Weiwei¡¯s one-sided wish come true. Therefore, Zuo Hancheng did not take the call. Instead, he looked at the microphone in Bai Weiwei¡¯s hand with a faint smile.¡±I won¡¯t be singing. Many years ago, I did have some favorite songs overseas, but I haven¡¯t sung them for many years. Besides, those songs aren¡¯t on the KTV list in China.¡± Bai Weiwei stood rooted to the ground because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direct rejection. She stared at him for a long time, but Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and glanced at it. It was too noisy in the private room, so Anhao didn¡¯t hear his phone call even though she was sitting next to him. In the blink of an eye, she saw that it was indeed a call from Mobai. ¡°I¡¯m going out to take a call.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled politely at Bai Weiwei and the others. At the same time, he turned to look at Anhao, asking her if she wanted to go out for some fresh air. Although Anhao did not really like this occasion, she still followed Zuo Hancheng out to answer a phone call. It seemed like she was a little too small-minded, so she said very generously,¡±¡±Go and pick it up. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s expression was already a little uncomfortable. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was treating her the same way he treated everyone else, but he was taking extra care of Gu Anhao before he left, her expression was a little ugly, but she smiled again.¡±Hancheng is usually a decisive person. In the eyes of outsiders, President Zuo is not the kind of person who has to report to a woman when he goes out to take a call. Isn¡¯t Hancheng afraid that he will become arrogant after spoiling someone so much?¡± She was arrogant because of his favor? Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked calmly at Bai Weiwei¡¯s attitude, which was gradually becoming unbearable. She looked up at Zuo Hancheng, who had already hung up on Mobai. She did not expect him to hang up on Mobai just like that. Mobai knew where they were tonight. There must be something important that made them call at this time, but Zuo Hancheng hung up just like that. ¡°Miss Bai¡¯s worries are indeed worth considering.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, Anhao looked at him with a slightly stunned expression. He turned around and looked at her with a faint smile. He rubbed her head as if he was coaxing a child.¡±Anhao has been spoiled by me for a long time. This responsibility is indeed on me. He would get used to spoiling his own woman.¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s expression instantly darkened, and Section Chief Yu suddenly burst out laughing,¡±¡±President Zuo, your way of showing off your love is too crazy ¡° Chapter 717 - Chapter 717 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (1) Chapter 717 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (1) Translator: 549690339 Before the teasing stopped, a group of people had already pulled Chief Yu back to sit down, not allowing him to say anything more. It was obvious that he was siding with outsiders. ¡°President Zuo, of course, you have to pamper this woman. It¡¯s like having a kitten or a puppy by your hand. You¡¯ll definitely feel that it¡¯s cute and fresh when you first get it. You¡¯ll always want to touch and coax it, but you¡¯ll get tired of pampering it. It¡¯s better to have a woman who can match your social status to support you.¡±Someone behind Bai Weiwei interrupted. Anhao glanced in that direction and smiled faintly. After all, these people were here to support Bai Weiwei. Sometimes, men were brainless and brave men when it came to women. No matter how Zuo Hancheng should not have provoked them, he could not help but want to say a few ¡°fair words¡± when he saw that Bai Weiwei had been wronged. Zuo Hancheng also looked behind Bai Weiwei, his eyes cold.¡±¡±So, you¡¯ve investigated my wife¡¯s background?¡± The man had only wanted to give Bai Weiwei a way out, but he did not expect Zuo Hancheng to be so rude. Judging from his tone, he was obviously very unhappy. ¡°No, no, it¡¯s just an analogy. It has nothing to do with Mrs. Zuo.¡±The person took a step back and sat on the sofa.¡±How could I dare to investigate Mrs. Zuo¡¯s background? President Zuo¡¯s people are not people we can investigate just because we want to. How could we be so rude?¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed better to have a sense of propriety.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the man¡¯s face again with a calm expression.¡±¡±Be careful of what you say.¡± Anhao felt that this person was not normal. After all, many people present only knew her identity today, so it was impossible to investigate in advance. Unless this person had a good relationship with Bai Weiwei and knew about her long ago, otherwise, he would not suddenly use the topic of matching social status to deliberately mock her. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were so cold that the man did not dare to say anything else. He retreated to the back and did not interrupt. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone rang again. This time, everyone heard the ringtone. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was Mobai again. Zuo Hancheng went out to pick it up. Anhao sat in her original position. She did not want to cause trouble for Zuo Hancheng since he had gone out, so she did not pick on anyone. However, when Chief Chen stood up and smiled politely at her before he left, she returned the smile and took a sip of the unopened drink on the coffee table. She was already on her guard in any entertainment venue. She was used to drinking any wine that she opened herself. This was the safest way to ensure that there would not be any strange drug ingredients in it. Bai Weiwei had already sat back on the sofa. There were some people beside her who didn¡¯t know what to say, but they seemed to be comforting her. However, those people looked at her from time to time, as if they wanted to help Bai Weiwei vent her anger. Anhao could tell what these people were thinking. Of course, she did not reject them. She smiled at them and continued to take a sip of her drink. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, it¡¯s rare for President Zuo to bring you to a gathering with everyone. Don¡¯t just drink.¡±Director Xue and the man who had spoken up for Bai Weiwei suddenly handed her two cans of beer. The beer was normal beer, and they seemed to be able to tell that Anhao was on guard. She didn¡¯t take a sip of any of the alcohol poured into the glass on the table. She only picked up the unopened can of drink on the table and started drinking. Therefore, he placed two unopened cans of beer in front of her.¡±Since President Zuo can¡¯t drink, shouldn¡¯t Mrs. Zuo have a few drinks with all of us? Otherwise, it¡¯ll be a downer.¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at the two cans of beer on the table before looking at the two people. At this time, the people around them started to cheer again, as if they wanted to see how much she could drink. In short, they couldn¡¯t let her continue to take advantage of her tonight. They had to make her embarrass herself to help Bai Weiwei regain some face. Bureau Chief Chen was about to come over and persuade them not to mess around, but everyone had drunk quite a bit in this kind of occasion. For a moment, they did not listen to Bureau Chief Chen¡¯s advice. They just stood in groups of three to five in front of Anhao and said sarcastically,¡±¡±Could it be that Mrs. Zuo doesn¡¯t even want to drink wine? Or could it be Mrs. Zuo didn¡¯t know how to drive or drink?¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± I don¡¯t think I need to prove that I know how to drink. It¡¯s not important, and it doesn¡¯t affect the occasion tonight.¡±¡± ¡°How is it not affected? You don¡¯t know how to drive, so President Zuo can¡¯t drink tonight. It wasn¡¯t easy for us to invite President Zuo over, but in the end, we can¡¯t have a few drinks with President Zuo. Mrs. Zuo and President Zuo are so loving. She wouldn¡¯t even have to go through so much trouble to drink a few glasses of wine for him. Don¡¯t you think so, Mrs. Zuo?¡± Anhao continued to smile.¡± Of course, it¡¯s not impossible to drink, but there must be a reason. Since everyone invited our Mr. Zuo over for a few drinks tonight, could it be that it¡¯s just a drink? There has to be a reason for the invitation to eat and drink. What do you think?¡± Seeing that Gu Anhao¡¯s personality was not easy to deal with, the men looked at each other and smiled.¡±¡±Then let¡¯s toast to Mrs. Zuo and President Zuo to celebrate the success of Mrs. Zuo¡¯s design project.¡± ¡± It¡¯s hard to reject this kind of hospitality. I do want to drink a cup, but it¡¯s too forced. I feel that this cup of wine shouldn¡¯t be drunk.¡±¡±Anhao picked up a can of beer and was about to open it when she put it down again under the expectant gazes of the men. Seeing the anger in their eyes that she had played with before, Anhao was secretly pleased. She smiled and looked at them.¡± How about this? I can drink the wine, but I hope that everyone can put aside some prejudice. Zuo Hancheng and I are no longer newlyweds, nor are we a couple who suddenly married halfway. He has already made his position clear. He just doesn¡¯t intend to publicize the family matters too much. However, if you want to find out about our marriage on the media, you can find some news from three years ago.¡± The few of them looked at each other before looking at Gu Anhao.¡±We¡¯re really curious about what abilities Director Gu has to become Mrs. Zuo.¡± ¡°We are not public figures in the United States. We do not accept such in-depth interviews and gossip about relationships and families.¡±Anhao smiled calmly.¡± On account of the fact that we¡¯ve worked together before, and on account that I can¡¯t disappoint everyone today, I can drink this wine. If you really want to test my alcohol tolerance, don¡¯t you think that each of you should drink a can too? Otherwise, what¡¯s the point of watching me drink alone?¡± ¡°What a difficult woman ¡± The two men standing at the back whispered a few words, but they had no choice but to turn around and get the wine. Chapter 718 - Chapter 718 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (2) Chapter 718 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (2) Translator: 549690339 Haha, what a joke. If she was really so easily manipulated and bullied by others, would Zuo Hancheng have brought her to such an occasion to face the invisible pressure from these people? Would he have been at ease to leave her alone when he answered the phone? Who did they think Zuo Hancheng was? Who did she think Gu Anhao was? The people behind them immediately brought over a whole box of beer and placed it on the coffee table. Anhao glanced at the new box of beer that they brought over and immediately raised her eyebrows. ¡°Snake-Venom?¡±Anhao said. Under normal circumstances, the alcohol content of beer would not be too high. After all, the Brandy that was commonly seen in bars was already considered a strong liquor, and it was only 40 degrees. However, the box of beer in front of her surprised Anhao. She used to sell this kind of beer in a bar. Snake-Venom was the strongest beer in the world brewed by a Scottish brewer. The concentration was as high as 67.5 degrees Celsius. This beer also had another name, snake venom. Very few people would drink this kind of wine at a party. After all, a few sips of this wine was enough to knock a person down They actually took a box and placed it in front of her. Was he trying to compete with a woman¡¯s alcohol tolerance? ¡°Mrs. Zuo is so knowledgeable about wine that she actually knows this kind of beer?¡±Chief Physician Xue, who was the leader, smiled and pushed the two cans of beer on the coffee table in front of her to the side. He opened the box and took out two cans of Snake-Venom. He put them in front of her and signaled with his eyes, It seems that Mrs. Zuo¡¯s alcohol tolerance is very good, and we¡¯ll change to Snake-Venom to drink.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression did not change.¡± Under normal circumstances, drinking is just a way to liven things up. Drinking such strong beer is too harmful to the body.¡±¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you don¡¯t want to drink?¡± Department Director Xue opened a can and pushed it in front of her. At the same time, she turned around and looked at Bai Weiwei.¡±Don¡¯t look at how our Deputy Chief Bai doesn¡¯t usually drink, but if she drinks, her alcohol tolerance is not something that ordinary people can compare to. Snake-Venom is indeed a strong liquor, but our Deputy Chief Bai can drink three cans without falling. Is Mrs. Zuo afraid to try?¡± Tsk, neither the soft nor the hard way worked, so he directly started to provoke her. Anhao raised her eyebrows, picked up the can of wine, and looked up at them.¡±¡±Let me emphasize once again. Drinking is fine, but it¡¯s definitely not a competition of alcohol tolerance. Since I¡¯ve already said so much, if I refuse, it¡¯ll be as if I¡¯m not giving you face.¡± ¡°If Mrs. Zuo dares to drink, we naturally dare not not to accompany her!¡±Department Director Xue also took the lead to open a can of Snake-Venom and gulped down the entire can of Snake-Venom in one gulp. He suddenly put down the empty can and shot Anhao a provocative look, telling her to drink it quickly and stop dawdling. Anhao was really dawdling on purpose. These people deliberately took advantage of the time when Zuo Hancheng went out to answer the phone to try to make things difficult for her. Seeing that the alcohol did not scare her, they directly served her a beer like Snake-Venom. It was not that she had not touched this beer before. Not to mention a can, half a can was enough to make her dizzy. Director Xue was really putting in a lot of effort to protect her. She had to stall for time. Even if Zuo Hancheng came back after she drank only one bottle, at least she would not have to drink a second bottle She could only blame herself for not expecting them to serve this kind of wine. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to drink so recklessly. Mobai had called twice in a row just now, so it must have been something important. Zuo Hancheng had already gone out for a few minutes and still hadn¡¯t returned. Anhao saw that the others had already started drinking. Under Director Xue¡¯s provocative gaze, she had no choice but to put Snake-Venom to her mouth and drink it slowly. ¡°Mrs. Zuo is not sincere enough. We all drank it in one gulp, but you drink beer like this? Had he never drunk this kind of strong beer before, or was he not clear about the types of beer? Why don¡¯t you let us, Bai, give you a science lesson?¡± Gu Anhao usually did not fall for such tricks. Tonight, she saw that these people had been making things difficult for her because of Bai Weiwei. Although she could understand their ¡± protective ¡± feelings, their biased attitude was indeed too disgusting. She really fell for it today. She smiled coldly at the provocation and drank the beer in the can. When she finally put down the empty can of Snake-Venom, she was still clear-headed. She raised her eyebrows. She looked at the people who were shocked by her alcohol tolerance indifferently. ¡°Continue.¡± she said. Anyway, they were the ones who drank first. She was a woman, so she had the advantage of drinking last. If they really wanted to force her, it was uncertain who would fall first in the end. Bureau Chief Chen couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He felt like he was going to offend President Zuo tonight. Usually, these young men liked to laugh and make trouble. Today, Bai Weiwei deliberately went to cause trouble for Mrs. Zuo. Bai Weiwei usually knew her limits. Under normal circumstances, Bai Weiwei would take the initiative to stop her. However, today, Bai Weiwei didn¡¯t go to stop her. Instead, she sat on the sofa and slowly drank the light sweet wine that was less than 10% alcohol. Sigh, he had really spoiled these kids in the Construction Bureau. They were not afraid of anything and even dared to provoke the people that Zuo Hancheng was protecting. Seeing that Gu Anhao¡¯s face didn¡¯t even turn red after she finished the entire can, the people standing in front of her confirmed that she was indeed quite a drinker. However, Snake-Venom¡¯s liquor was very strong. They had drunk it too quickly just now, and some of them were already starting to get drunk. Their faces were flushed red, and they looked at her with even more dizziness. However, when they saw Gu Anhao¡¯s taunting gaze, they immediately picked up another can and opened it. There was quite a lot of wine in this jar. Even if it wasn¡¯t a catty, it was at least seven to eight taels. How many people would be so drunk that they would lie on the table and not get up after drinking a few taels of 50 to 60 degrees alcohol? The more people behind them drank, the more unstable they became. There was already a thinner person who couldn¡¯t drink anymore after drinking a second jar. He sat at the side and put the wine on the coffee table. When the people in front saw that the person had forfeited, they were instantly furious. Director Xue took the lead and forced herself to drink the second can. Although she did not shake after drinking the second can, her face was already covered in sweat. She stared at Anhao and continued to provoke her. Seeing that there were already a second and third men who had fallen onto the sofa, Anhao curled her lips and looked up at Director Xue. When Director Xue opened a can of Snake-Venom and pushed it in front of her, her lips curled up slightly and her smile deepened. She didn¡¯t have Duan Yu¡¯s One-Yang Finger from the ¡± Demigods and Eight ¡± to force the wine out. Snake-Venom had really fallen into her stomach, and her stomach was already burning. Moreover, the aftertaste of the wine was too strong. After only two minutes, she felt that she couldn¡¯t continue drinking. Chapter 719 - Chapter 719 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (3) Chapter 719 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Mrs. Zuo won¡¯t show her cowardice so soon, right? Most of us here are still drinking with you. If President Zuo¡¯s alcohol tolerance is high, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t lose to us just like that. Is Mrs. Zuo sure she wants to embarrass President Zuo?¡± When she heard Director Xue mention Zuo Hancheng, Bai Weiwei, who had been quietly drinking her sweet wine, turned her gaze over and landed on Anhao. Her gaze was cold, as if she was looking at someone who would quit sooner or later. There was a faint contempt hidden in her eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye and was replaced by an elegant smile. ¡°If your President Zuo was here, he might not be willing to drink with you.¡±Anhao still maintained her calm smile, but it was hard to tell that she was already feeling dizzy. She raised her eyebrows and said,¡±¡±If he was here, he wouldn¡¯t have agreed to let me drink with you. Just like you said just now, I was spoiled by him. I wanted to try the wine when he wasn¡¯t around, but if I continued drinking, I¡¯m not sure if I, including you, could withstand the development of the situation.¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Bai Weiwei¡¯s face gradually turned cold. She suddenly picked up a glass of wine in front of her and walked towards Anhao. She handed the wine to Anhao and said calmly,¡±¡±If it was me who toasted him, Hancheng would definitely drink it. But since he¡¯s driving tonight, I won¡¯t specially persuade him to drink. In that case, why don¡¯t Miss Gu drink on his behalf?¡± Anhao glanced at the wine that Bai Weiwei handed over. It was a glass of sweet wine that was not very strong, but if it was mixed with Snake-Venom, it would hurt her stomach. It was unknown whether Bai Weiwei knew that these two kinds of wine couldn¡¯t be mixed together, or she didn¡¯t, but she just casually brought the sweet wine over. Anhao smiled as she looked at Bai Weiwei¡¯s cold eyes.¡±¡±It is really uncertain whether he will drink the wine you toasted. As for me ¡± She didn¡¯t take the glass, but picked up the Snake-Venom beer that had been opened on the table and sipped it slowly. As she drank, she glanced at the angry expression in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes. Outside the private room- Zuo Hancheng had already spoken to Mobai on the phone, and then he immediately called Stephen in England. After two calls, more than ten minutes had passed. He glanced at the time and briefly explained to Stephen what he needed to pay attention to. Then, he hung up the phone, turned around, opened the door of the private room, and walked in. As soon as she walked in, she saw that Anhao, who was originally sitting alone in the corner of the sofa, was now surrounded by many people, including Bai Weiwei. At the same time, she glanced at the empty box of beer beside the coffee table and walked over with a dark expression. ¡°My wife¡¯s waist injury hasn¡¯t recovered yet. The doctor warned her not to drink casually. Why is she suddenly sitting here and drinking with you?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly cut in. His voice sounded casual and casual, but it was cold and intimidating. The few people who had not noticed the movement behind them turned around in shock. Bai Weiwei turned to look at Zuo Hancheng at the same time. When she saw the dissatisfaction and coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, Bai Weiwei said,¡±¡± Hancheng, we just wanted to have some fun. Seeing Miss Gu sitting here alone, we came over to offer her a toast. In the end, we don¡¯t know why we started to compete, but Miss Gu only drank a little more than one can ¡± The so-called ¡°can of wine¡± was Snake-Venom¡¯s ¡°can of wine¡±. When Anhao heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, she immediately stopped and continued to drink. She had accidentally forced herself onto a certain path, so she wasn¡¯t trying to be brave. However, her alcohol tolerance was indeed not as good as before. After all, it had been a long time since she had drunk such strong alcohol. She felt dizzy and her legs were weak. She wanted to immediately conjure a bed and pounce on it to sleep. When she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, she immediately stopped and looked out of the crowd. Zuo Hancheng saw the Snake-Venom in Anhao¡¯s hand through the crowd. When he saw the Snake-Venom logo on it, he smiled even more brightly.¡±Using Snake-Venom to entertain a woman, next time when I entertain everyone from the Construction Bureau, should I change to something stronger to make everyone drunk?¡± Those who were already feeling light-headed from drinking Snake-Venom were shocked. Today, they had taken advantage of the opportunity when Zuo Hancheng went out to answer a phone call to control the situation. Initially, they just wanted to embarrass Gu Anhao a little to make Bai Weiwei proud. In fact, they did not have any other malicious intentions. However, if Zuo Hancheng had forced them to drink stronger wine, they would not be able to leave even if they drank to death, let alone vomit. Who would dare to disrespect Zuo Hancheng? The sharpness and killing intent contained in this sentence made people shudder. Bai Weiwei¡¯s expression was a little stunned. She did not expect that Zuo Hancheng would really treat them so coldly because of Gu Anhao. Usually, Zuo Hancheng would give face to the Bai family and the Construction Bureau, and he would always hold back when he spoke. But now, just because Gu Anhao was persuaded to drink, he actually Bureau Chief Chen came over to smooth things over.¡±President Zuo, these guys from the Construction Bureau often hang out together, so they¡¯re willing to do whatever they want. They didn¡¯t mean any harm just now. They just saw that Mrs. Zuo was sitting here alone and was too bored, so they came over to talk to her. Later on, they started talking about alcohol. Mrs. Zuo seems to be a good drinker. If her waist injury isn¡¯t serious, this bit of beer shouldn¡¯t be a big problem. President Zuo, please don¡¯t argue with these juniors for my sake.¡± Bureau Chief Chen gave them a look.¡±¡±What are you still standing there for? Why aren¡¯t you coming over? Each and every one of you can drink whatever you want. Why do you have to find a reason to toast? If Mrs. Zuo drinks and hurts her stomach, who will be responsible?¡± Director Chen was reprimanding her from behind, but Bai Weiwei was still standing at the same spot and looking at Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice Bai Weiwei, who had been standing at the side and looking at him. Just as Anhao was about to put down the wine in her hand, he walked over and placed the wine in Anhao¡¯s hand on the coffee table. Anhao¡¯s head was dizzy and she was about to lose her sense of direction. She felt more uncomfortable every minute. Now, she could recognize the person beside her was Zuo Hancheng, so she smiled and sat beside him. He pulled her into his arms and whispered apologetically,¡±¡±I was so angry that I drank a little with them, but I really couldn¡¯t handle this Snake-Venom A few of their people had also fallen I¡¯m not embarrassing you .¡± Chapter 720 - Chapter 720 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (4) Chapter 720 Mrs. Zuo Had Too Much to Drink (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng held Anhao¡¯s shoulder and looked down at Anhao, who was still in his arms and was still thinking about how she did not embarrass him. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Anhao felt weak all over. She felt as if she was sitting on a ball of soft cotton, as if she was sitting on the clouds. Her feet were empty, and she would fall if she lost her balance. Therefore, her hands instinctively grabbed his sleeves. Zuo Hancheng also hugged her shoulders, allowing Anhao to lean weakly in his arms. ¡°You should know how strong Snake-Venom beer is. Why would you agree to drink this with them?¡±His heart ached, but seeing that she was so disobedient, Zuo Hancheng whispered into her ear as he hugged her. Anhao frowned and looked up at him in confusion.¡±¡±They were trying to provoke me. I couldn¡¯t hold it in, so I drank with them. I had a headache after drinking a can. I won¡¯t drink this stuff in the future. It¡¯s too strong.¡± ¡°So you still know that you were provoked.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked down at her with an unfriendly expression, but he noticed that Anhao¡¯s head was slowly moving, and she was unable to gather her attention to look at the warning in his eyes. He could only temporarily calm down and hug her weak body in his arms. At the same time, he seemed to have noticed Bai Weiwei who had been standing in front of him and turned to look at her. Bai Weiwei stood at the side and saw how much Zuo Hancheng loved Gu Anhao. She even saw Gu Anhao secretly drinking alcohol with these people behind his back. She did not blame her too much. She only felt sorry for her. Bai Weiwei could not say a word. She just stared at Zuo Hancheng. She wanted to know what he was thinking. Why would he care so much for Gu Anhao, who had no family background or background. However, when she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, the doubts in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes were replaced by a trace of disappointment. She saw the warning in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. It was an emotion that she had never seen in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. Zuo Hancheng had always given her some face, whether it was because of the Bai family or because they had known each other for two years. However, this was the first time he had warned her with such a cold gaze. He warned her not to continue targeting Anhao. After that, Anhao could not hear what Zuo Hancheng said to those people. She only had a headache and was in a daze. She did not care about the gazes of others and just leaned into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. She mumbled something that even she did not know what she was talking about. Zuo Hancheng heard it. Anhao¡¯s voice was muffled, and her face was almost buried in his chest. Her voice was low and muffled, and it came intermittently. ¡°Zuo Hancheng. Actually, I prefer to live in Liujing Garden . I don¡¯t like Henghai City . I want to go home The Gilded Garden is our home. Right .¡± ¡°Snake-Venom tastes terrible No wonder people called this wine snake venom My tongue is numb ¡± ¡°Woo . There are so many flower protectors here. They keep buzzing in my ears. It¡¯s so noisy .¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, my mother doesn¡¯t want me anymore She was still alive But she doesn¡¯t want me to be. Am I particularly bad . That¡¯s why even my mother doesn¡¯t want me ¡± Anhao mumbled to herself. In short, none of her words were about the main topic, but every word she said was the truth that Anhao usually would not complain about. She rubbed her face against his chest and whispered,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng. Let¡¯s get another Vajra Gourd Brother . This time, I will definitely protect him I won¡¯t let him disappear again ¡± ¡°Wu ¡± Anhao suddenly cried softly,¡±I lost our Jingang Gourd Baby. Will he be angry?¡± Would he never appear again I¡¯ll protect him Wu . But I¡¯m afraid ¡± Her voice was very muffled, and only Zuo Hancheng could hear it. When Anhao said that she wanted to leave, Zuo Hancheng should have taken her away directly. However, Anhao was talking too much at this moment, and she was snuggling in his arms. Zuo Hancheng could not calm down. There were too many people in the private room, so Bai Weiwei was tactful enough to not stand there anymore. However, after sitting back on the sofa, she turned to look in that direction and saw Zuo Hancheng patiently listening to the drunken Anhao in his arms. It looked like Gu An was talking drunk and had messed up Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shirt, but Zuo Hancheng was patiently and gently listening to Gu Anhao¡¯s drunken words. It was as if the haze that had been caused by Gu An¡¯s drinking had been swept away. That kind of patience, that kind of gentleness, that kind of feeling as if the woman in his arms who was acting coquettishly and playing a little drunk was the treasure of the world. This Zuo Hancheng was too unfamiliar, but it also made every woman jealous. Zuo Hancheng, who was so unapproachable outside, was actually so doting on the woman he loved in his arms Initially, Bai Weiwei¡¯s feelings for Zuo Hancheng should have stopped because he had sobered up. However, after seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s patience and indulgence towards Gu Anhao, she found that she could not stop. She even wanted to use the gentleness and love in his eyes on herself instead of the unknown Gu Anhao. Sensing his obvious selfishness, Bai turned his eyes away slightly and took a sip from his wine glass. He then turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, only to see Gu Anhao suddenly raising her head and kissing Zuo Hancheng in his arms. Anhao had been mumbling non-stop in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. Zuo Hancheng had been patiently hugging her and listening to her nagging with the smell of alcohol. Anhao¡¯s voice gradually lowered as she nagged in his arms. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly woke up as if she did not remember that she was still in the private room. She leaned into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and asked,¡± Will you suddenly leave me behind like my mother and walk away alone ¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng replied gently as he stroked her head. Her mother, who had always been by her side, had suddenly escaped without a trace by faking her death and even sent her to the Gu family. How could Anhao not mind? After pretending in front of him for so long, she finally spat out the words in her heart because she had drunk a little. Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s reply, Anhao opened her eyes and asked in a daze,¡±¡±Really?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Anhao seemed to want to confirm that the Zuo Hancheng in front of her was the real Zuo Hancheng. She suddenly raised her head and kissed him on the lips. In the next moment, Zuo Hancheng suddenly picked her up and said calmly under the shocked gazes of everyone in the private room,¡±¡±My wife drank too much. I¡¯ll send her back first.¡± Chapter 721 - Chapter 721 A Moment of Spring Night is Worth A Thousand Gold (1) Chapter 721 A Moment of Spring Night is Worth A Thousand Gold (1) Translator: 549690339 In the next moment, Zuo Hancheng suddenly picked her up and said calmly under the shocked gazes of everyone in the private room,¡±¡±My wife drank too much. I¡¯ll send her back first.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was calm, but Bai Weiwei saw him suddenly stand up and leave with Gu Anhao in his arms. She quickly stood up.¡±Hancheng, are you leaving already?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± There seems to be no main topic for tonight¡¯s banquet. If there is nothing to discuss in person, there is indeed no need to stay.¡±¡± Everyone could tell that Zuo Hancheng was angry. Zuo Hancheng, who had never shown his emotions in front of others, had repeatedly made exceptions because of Gu Anhao in his arms. This was already shocking enough. Bai Weiwei¡¯s expression was a little bitter as she said softly,¡±Actually, my parents are coming to A City tonight. They should be at the airport by now. I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you to accompany me to the airport to pick them up ¡± Hearing Bai Weiwei mention this, Bureau Chief Chen stood up and said,¡±¡± President Zuo, today is indeed the day that the two elders of the Bai family will come to City A. You must more or less know Xiao Bai¡¯s intentions. The two elders of the Bai family must have told you about this, but we didn¡¯t expect you to be married at first. Mrs. Zuo¡¯s appearance really shocked us, but we really didn¡¯t mean to make things difficult for Mrs. Zuo. It¡¯s just that this .¡± Bureau Chief Chen looked troubled as he said,¡±¡± Originally, when the Bai family¡¯s elders called half a month ago to ask if they would have the chance to see you again, President Zuo, Xiao Bai promised that he would go to the airport with President Zuo to pick them up. Tonight, everyone did invite President Zuo to come over for a gathering, but more importantly, the Bai family¡¯s elders are waiting for you at the airport ¡± As soon as Chief Chen finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze stopped on Bai Weiwei¡¯s face for a moment. Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes were a little awkward. She knew what Zuo Hancheng meant by his gaze. Zuo Hancheng was silently reprimanding her, reprimanding her for being too sentimental and making her own decisions. ¡°The two elders of the Bai family have some gratitude towards me, but I¡¯m usually too busy. It¡¯s not certain whether I can find time to pick you up. Isn¡¯t it too abrupt for Miss Bai to rashly set a itinerary for me?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at the awkwardness in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes coldly. ¡± Hancheng, I¡¯m very sorry. I just feel that since you¡¯re here tonight, nothing else will happen tonight. I just want my parents to be at ease. After all, they¡¯re not worried about me coming to A City mainly because of you. If we continue to be so indifferent, they will ¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around with Anhao in his arms and looked at Bai Weiwei who was hesitating to speak. He hugged Anhao tighter and said,¡±¡±Miss Bai, do you think that other than this lukewarm partnership, we should have other relationships?¡± If Zuo Hancheng was standing there alone, it would be fine. However, he was clearly carrying Gu Anhao, his wife, and standing in front of Bai Weiwei. No matter how thick-skinned Bai Weiwei was, she could not say anything. Besides, Bai Weiwei was not that thick-skinned. Faced with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear attitude, Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes darkened.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, the Conqueror of Han City.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not know that the Bai family¡¯s parents would suddenly come to A City, and he did not pay attention to the Bai family¡¯s matters. Now that the two parents had suddenly come, their motives were definitely not simple. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything more. He glanced at Bai Weiwei and said,¡±¡±Excuse me.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he carried the still drunk Anhao and turned around to leave. ¡°Han City ¡± Bai Weiwei thought for a moment and then suddenly followed him. After Zuo Hancheng carried Anhao out of the door, she followed him and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t go to the airport to pick up my parents. I know I¡¯m being too abrupt, but the reason why my parents don¡¯t worry about me staying in A City is indeed because of you, so Can you Let them see you and me together when they are brought back ¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s brows furrowed and he looked back at her.¡±¡±What do you mean?¡± ¡± I didn¡¯t mean anything else. I said that you¡¯re with me because I wanted my parents to think that you¡¯re taking care of me. I don¡¯t have any other motive. They took a bus from the airport and came here in about an hour and a half. At least, when they arrive at the entertainment city in an hour and a half, they¡¯ll see you here too Of course, you only need to say goodbye to them before you can leave. You don¡¯t have to accompany them too much. After all, they¡¯re very tired from rushing over on the plane. They won¡¯t pester you too much ¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything at first. He just looked at the little anticipation in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes and said after a moment,¡±¡±Miss Bai, I can¡¯t fulfill your request. If Director Bai and Madam Bai are dissatisfied because I didn¡¯t go to pick them up, I will try my best to host a banquet for them before they leave A City. However, it will only be in the name of Shengling Group. It has nothing to do with you personally.¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s expression froze, and she lowered her gaze.¡±¡±Hancheng, you don¡¯t have to treat me as an outsider ¡± ¡± Miss Bai, be it in terms of background or background, you can definitely find a better partner than me. Trying to get involved in someone else¡¯s marriage is not something a girl like you who has been educated by your family should do. That¡¯s all I have to say. If Miss Bai doesn¡¯t continue to target Anhao, we¡¯ll still be great partners. Otherwise .¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice paused, and his gaze swept across Bai Weiwei¡¯s face again. Then, he carried Anhao in his arms and left. Bai Weiwei looked at his back, her eyes stiff. The hands hanging by her sides slowly clenched into fists, then slowly loosened, and then slowly clenched into fists again If the person in front of her was not Zuo Hancheng, perhaps no woman would be willing to break the rules and do immoral things. However, this person was Zuo Hancheng. Who could really control the seven emotions and six desires of a person? The person whom he had always admired the most was now far away like smoke. Who could really be willing Bai Weiwei stood outside the room for a long time. Director Xue and a few other people from the Construction Bureau came out and saw this scene. They quickly came over to comfort her. Zuo Hancheng carried Anhao all the way to the corridor of the entertainment city. It was drizzling outside. Although the rain was not heavy, Anhao could have left if she was sober. However, she was drunk to this extent, and she was half-asleep and half-awake as she leaned into his embrace. Her entire body was burning up. It was no joke to get drenched in the rain under such circumstances. She would definitely catch a cold. But Yi Yi felt the cool breeze outside, and Anhao snuggled comfortably in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms, muttering softly,¡±¡±So hot ¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao, who was blushing in his arms. He sighed and turned to look at the staff of the entertainment city behind him.¡±Is there a quiet room?¡± Chapter 722 - Chapter 722: A Moment of Spring Night Is Worth Thousands of Gold (2) Chapter 722: A Moment of Spring Night Is Worth Thousands of Gold (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Yes, sir. Please follow me.¡±The staff of the entertainment city immediately led the way and entered the elevator to the guest room area on the second floor. Zuo Hancheng carried him into a VIP room. The environment in the room was nice and quiet. It was isolated from all the noise and music on the first floor of the entertainment city. Anhao reeked of alcohol. When she entered the door, she instinctively felt the unfamiliar surroundings and opened her eyes warily. She looked around but couldn¡¯t see anything clearly. She frowned and said,¡±Where is this ¡± Seeing that she was still alert, Zuo Hancheng did not say anything and placed her on the bed. Anhao¡¯s body had just touched the soft bed, and she instinctively grabbed the blanket under her even more vigilantly. However, when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure in the blink of an eye, her consciousness gradually returned to her intoxicated state. She slowly closed her eyes and said with some discomfort,¡±Do you have any hangover medicine? My stomach doesn¡¯t feel well ¡± Zuo Hancheng handed her a glass of water and helped Anhao up. He leaned her against his chest and fed her the glass.¡±Do you still know how uncomfortable?¡± Don¡¯t drink such strong wine in the future. It hurts your stomach.¡± ¡°Oh . Hmm ¡± Anhao obediently drank the water that he fed her and hummed in agreement. She did not know where she was now, but she knew that Zuo Hancheng was by her side, so there was nothing to worry about. With Zuo Hancheng¡¯s help, she would be fine even if she was surrounded by a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. ¡°My stomach feels so uncomfortable ¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s anger had been suppressed by her when she said that her stomach was uncomfortable. Now that she was rubbing against him, Zuo Hancheng sighed and looked at the little thing. He raised his hand and stroked her shoulder.¡±Is it hotter or more uncomfortable in my stomach? If it¡¯s very hot, I¡¯ll help you take off your clothes. If your stomach is too ¡± ¡°Stomach ¡± Anhao mumbled a single word and raised her arms to wrap around his neck with a pained expression. She said with an aggrieved expression,¡±¡±My stomach is on fire ¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Anhao¡¯s stomach suddenly churned and she made a retching gesture. Zuo Hancheng frowned. Shall I carry you to the bathroom?¡± ¡°No need . No need ¡± Anhao¡¯s face turned even redder as if she was being cooked. She looked at Zuo Hancheng with a pair of misty eyes and said,¡±¡±I, uh . If she had known that she would drink tonight, she would have taken two hangover pills before coming Then it wouldn¡¯t be so uncomfortable .¡± Zuo Hancheng was well aware of Anhao¡¯s alcohol tolerance. When she was in the bar, if she was really persuaded to drink, she would take the hangover medicine in advance to prevent herself from getting into trouble. Later on, she got drunk in front of him several times, and she was just as unprepared as she was now. In fact, that was all she could do. She had once bragged about her alcohol tolerance to outsiders, but it was just a gimmick. Zuo Hancheng sighed as he hugged her burning body. He lowered his head and kissed her on the hairline. He said in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±I¡¯ll send someone to buy medicine.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Anhao agreed, but she refused to let go. Her hands were still tightly wrapped around Zuo Hancheng¡¯s neck. She raised her head and looked at him with a pair of misty eyes. Her eyes were full of dependence that she would usually be embarrassed to show when she was awake. When she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep gaze, Anhao suddenly grinned and leaned her head on his shoulder. Her tipsy breath was on his neck and she said softly,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, how long have we known each other ¡± At this moment, Anhao was leaning her head on his neck with an intoxicated look on her face. She could not see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes darken because of her small movements. She only knew that his body seemed to be as hot as hers. ¡°Four years.¡± His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Four years?¡± Anhao narrowed her eyes in confusion. She raised her hand and counted with her fingers.¡±Three years ago Oh, right . We were together for more than half a year at that time . Then I went to America . In addition to three years and two months, I¡¯ve already been back for three months ¡± She counted on her fingers.¡±Three years and five months, three years and six months Three years and nine months Four years ¡± She suddenly raised her head in surprise. Before she could finish her sentence, she was suddenly kissed. Anhao¡¯s vision was hazy, but she knew what she was doing. She also knew who the man who was suddenly kissing her in his arms was, so she smiled sweetly and took the initiative to hug his neck in response. Tonight, Anhao was more enthusiastic than usual due to her tipsy state. She was so passionate that Zuo Hancheng, who was still on the edge of rationality, almost completely threw away his rationality. However, as she returned the kiss, she frowned uncomfortably. Zuo Hancheng did not miss her expression. He turned his head slightly and looked at her hand that was covering her stomach. He asked in a low and hoarse voice,¡±Still feeling uncomfortable?¡± Anhao moved her hand away from her stomach.¡± It¡¯s alright. I can endure it.¡± Moreover .¡± Suddenly, she blinked at him.¡± Darling, every moment of the night is worth a thousand gold. I can endure a stomachache, but with a handsome man in front of me, I definitely can¡¯t endure it if I don¡¯t fall on him ¡± ¡°Little demon.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you take the initiative when you were awake?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked in a deep voice, gritting his teeth.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also very clear-headed now ¡± Anhao said in an aggrieved tone. Zuo Hancheng scoffed and did not want to argue with this little drunkard. He was about to get the phone to ask the room service to buy some hangover medicine. However, before he could move his hand away from her, Anhao suddenly raised her hand to grab his hand and said with a very calculative expression,¡±¡±I¡¯m especially sober now! Really, I still remember that you¡¯ve never said ¡®I love you¡¯ to me ¡° Chapter 723 - Chapter 723: A Moment of Spring Night Is Worth Thousands of Gold (3) Chapter 723: A Moment of Spring Night Is Worth Thousands of Gold (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng looked back at the little thing in his arms and then at her calculative expression. His handsome eyebrows moved slightly and he said patiently,¡±¡±I told you.¡± ¡°You said it before? When?¡± Anhao looked at him with a confused expression.¡±¡±When did you tell me? Why don¡¯t I remember? You clearly never said those three words to me Although these three words were extremely vulgar, at least he had known you for four years If they didn¡¯t really get a divorce in the middle, they would have been married for four years You didn¡¯t even say ¡®I love you¡¯ ¡± Zuo Hancheng stopped her from grabbing his hand in agitation and took it out on him. He pulled his hand away from hers and held her small fist at the same time. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Yes, but unfortunately, you still don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Anhao¡¯s face was red as she narrowed her eyes at him. She still had a drunken expression on her face.¡±Did you say that . What language did you use? English? French? Korean? Could it be Japanese? How can I not understand ¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not explain as he looked at her silly face that was immersed in her curiosity. He placed her on the bed and got up to make a call. Anhao was lying on the bed alone, staring at the crystal chandelier in the room with a confused look on her face. Her mind was in a mess. She really did not remember what Zuo Hancheng had said to her. What did he mean by ¡®I don¡¯t understand¡¯? What did he mean? Ahhhh, my head was about to explode The room service line was busy. Zuo Hancheng walked out of the guest room to get someone to buy medicine. When he returned to the room two minutes later, Anhao had already fallen asleep in a mess of thoughts. However, she still instinctively covered her stomach with her hands when she fell asleep. The burning sensation in her stomach because of the strong alcohol was indeed very difficult to bear. If she did not take the hangover medicine tonight to evaporate and dilute the strong alcohol in her stomach, although it would not cause much harm, she would at least have a stomachache all day tomorrow. However, Anhao¡¯s sleeping posture She did not take off her clothes and her head was tilted as if she was sleeping on the street. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temples twitched as he watched her. He sighed slightly and walked over to adjust her posture so that she would not sleep like a stiff neck the next morning. As soon as he straightened Anhao up, she suddenly turned over and curled up because of her stomach discomfort. Zuo Hancheng bent down and took off her coat. Just as he covered her with the blanket, the room service had already rung the doorbell to send the hangover medicine. Ten minutes later, Anhao was fed the hangover medicine. Because of the warmth in her stomach, she gradually lay obediently in his arms and stopped moving. Seeing how the little thing was so dependent on him tonight, Zuo Hancheng simply laid her back on the bed and straightened her body again. Just as she was about to turn over instinctively, he lay down beside her and held the little thing firmly, who had started to be dishonest again. An hour later. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s phone started to vibrate beside the bed. Zuo Hancheng, who had been hugging Anhao for a long time, opened his eyes. There was no sleepiness in his eyes at all, as if he had already expected this call to come sooner or later. He lowered his gaze and looked at Anhao, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He slowly pulled his hand away from her neck and picked up his phone. When he saw the number on the screen, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold. He got up and lifted Anhao¡¯s blanket up twice before picking up his phone again. He walked to the window and picked up the call. ¡°Hello,¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold and distant. ¡°Hancheng, I heard from Weiwei that you were supposed to have a gathering with her colleagues from the Construction Bureau tonight, but you left early because you drank too much?¡±Bai Weiwei¡¯s father¡¯s voice came from the phone. Zuo Hancheng looked out of the window at the night sky. He was still holding the phone in a frosty manner, and his attitude did not change.¡±I apologize for not being able to personally pick Director Bai up at the airport. I will personally visit the hotel where Director Bai and his wife are staying in the future and host a banquet to entertain them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. We can be considered old acquaintances.¡±Director Bai smiled and said: I just heard this Entertainment City, the building, the staff said, you didn¡¯t go back to rest, but just found a guest room upstairs, I just saw your car in front of you didn¡¯t leave, so Cold City, are you really still in Entertainment City?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were clear and calm, and there was no surprise in them.¡±Yes, I haven¡¯t left yet, but I¡¯m a little drunk and I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll offend Director Bai, so I won¡¯t be going to see you two today.¡± ¡± Hey, what are you afraid of? Your auntie and I haven¡¯t seen you for a few months, and we¡¯ve been thinking about you. And our Weiwei, I heard that she has been taking care of you. We came here to thank you. Hancheng, come down. We¡¯ll book a quieter room and sit down together to chat .¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows were filled with a calm chill.¡±The two of you must be tired after rushing for the plane overnight and then taking a bus to the entertainment city. I will definitely hold a banquet to entertain you in person another day.¡± ¡°Tsk, this child, do you want me to go to your room and invite you personally?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was already filled with impatience, but his voice was still calm and composed.¡±¡±Wait a moment.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You¡¯re in the entertainment city anyway. You can¡¯t wait too long. Come down quickly.¡±Director Bai was all smiles on the other end of the phone. He did not look tired at all. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. He hung up the phone and turned to look at Anhao, who was still sleeping soundly. Outside the door, the room service staff saw the man walking out of the door and immediately stood to the side respectfully and said,¡±Mr. Zuo, do you have any instructions?¡± ¡°I have something to do and have to leave temporarily. Try not to leave for more than two hours. The door is not locked. If my wife wakes up halfway and needs anything, go in and help her.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was so patient, the room service staff quickly nodded and said,¡±¡±Okay, Mr. Zuo, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely be outside the door and listen to the movements inside. If Mrs. Zuo needs it, I¡¯ll help her immediately!¡± Anhao usually didn¡¯t make any complicated movements when she slept. In fact, she usually slept very well. However, the alcohol tonight was too strong. Even after drinking the hangover medicine, her stomach still felt a little uncomfortable. Therefore, she instinctively wanted to turn over and press her stomach down to relieve it. When she turned over in her sleep, her hand hit the edge of the table beside the bed because Zuo Hancheng was no longer hugging her. She groaned in pain and opened her eyes at the same time. There was a hint of pain in her drunken eyes. She slowly raised her injured hand and sat up while shaking her hand. She looked around in a daze. Where did Zuo Hancheng go? Chapter 724 - Chapter 724: A Moment of Spring Night Is Worth Thousands of Gold (4) Chapter 724: A Moment of Spring Night Is Worth Thousands of Gold (4) Translator: 549690339 But her hand hurt. Anhao sat on the bed and rubbed her hands as she searched for her phone and bag. When she saw that they were all on the cabinet in front of the door, she got out of bed. However, she felt dizzy and raised her hand to pat her head. She felt that the smell of alcohol on her body was too strong. Although she did not know where Zuo Hancheng had gone, he must have had his reasons for putting her here to rest temporarily. The smell on her body was unbearable. Anhao staggered into the bathroom to take a shower. Because she had slept for a while, when she woke up, she knew what kind of alcohol she had drunk before. She also knew that she was probably very drunk and that was why she was placed here. However, her mind was still in a mess. She could not remember what happened after Zuo Hancheng took the phone and walked back to the private room. She only vaguely remembered that he had carried her away and that he had been by her side the whole time. He even fed her hangover medicine. After all, this was not her home. After showering, she put on her clothes again and walked out of the bathroom while drying her wet hair. She staggered to the door and picked up her bag to look at her phone. 10 PM. It was already so late. Where else could Zuo Hancheng be at this hour? Anhao rubbed her hair and opened the door. As soon as she walked out, she saw two middle-aged aunties in room service uniforms chatting softly outside. When they heard the door open, the two aunties turned around and asked her warmly,¡±Mrs. Zuo, do you have any orders?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment. She guessed that Zuo Hancheng must have told her something before he left, so she put her hand down from her head and endured the dizziness in her head.¡±Where did Mister Zuo go?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo just went out and told us to stay here and watch over you. If Mrs. Zuo needs anything, just tell us. If you¡¯re hungry, thirsty, or need anything, just tell us.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Anhao smiled, closed the door, and returned to her room. He felt that even though he had taken a shower, there was still a slight smell of alcohol on his body. It should be because he had not changed his clothes. Moreover, the alcohol was too strong. Even after taking the hangover medicine, he still felt drunk. He felt his head hurt again. After sitting in the room for a while, although her head hurt and she was sleepy, she felt that if she continued to sleep like this, she would only feel worse when she woke up with a hangover the next morning. Therefore, she forced herself to walk to the window with her phone and open it. The cool wind from the rainy night blew in and she felt a little more awake. It was no longer raining outside, but the humid air was still cold. Anhao raised her hand to rub her temples and lowered her head to enter Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number on her phone. She was about to call him, but hesitated. Previously, Zuo Hancheng must have received Mobai¡¯s call for something important. Now that he had left at the last minute, did he have something important to do? Would she disturb him if she called him now? After all, it was already so late. If it wasn¡¯t something important, he wouldn¡¯t have left so suddenly. Anhao only hesitated for a moment before putting down her phone. She turned around and sat on the bed for a while. Then, she got up and poured herself a glass of water to try to wake herself up. However, she felt that her mind was not very clear. She could not remember anything after she was drunk. After knocking his head again, he suddenly heard the two aunties outside ask,¡±Mrs. Zuo, do you need us to heat up a glass of milk for you? I heard from Mr. Zuo that you drank too much. Is your stomach uncomfortable now?¡± Anhao was stunned for a moment before she answered the door,¡±¡±Okay, then a glass of hot milk, thank you.¡± The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. Anhao got up after a while and opened the door. She saw that the two aunties were gone. One of them went to heat up the milk, and the other one She turned around and saw that another auntie had been called over by someone from another room. She stood outside the door for a while before walking out. She was sent up here drunk, and no one came to guide her. Anhao leaned against the wall, and because she was still not fully awake, she was still swaying when she walked. She walked step by step to the end of the corridor, but she realized that she had gone back. She did not find the elevator, and just as she was about to turn back, she suddenly heard some movement from the door of the elevator. In the blink of an eye, she stood by the glass in front of the door and saw Director Xue standing at the escalator with another man who had spoken up for Bai Weiwei. The two of them were standing there smoking. Although this was an entertainment city, it was a high-end place, so smoking was prohibited. These two people were really immoral. Instead of going out to smoke, they came to the safe passage where not many people paid attention to. Anhao only took a glance and was about to turn around and leave, but Director Xue noticed her direction because she had blocked the lights in the corridor when she stood in front of the door. When he saw that it was Gu Anhao, he immediately gave a look to the person beside him. The two of them put out their cigarette butts and walked towards her. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, we meet again. It seems that your alcohol tolerance is indeed not bad. You¡¯re still awake after drinking so much.¡±Department Director Xue pushed open the door and walked over. She called out to Anhao, who had already walked away. Anhao paused in her steps. She looked back at Department Director Xue, who had a mocking smile in his eyes, and then at the man beside him. She was not clear-headed now. Whether it was her thoughts or her body¡¯s movements, she was a little slow. She knew that if the two of them wanted to make things difficult for her, she probably would not be able to withstand it for the time being. She did not want to get into trouble, so she only glanced at them and turned around indifferently to leave. ¡°Ai, Mrs. Zuo¡± Department Director Xue suddenly took the lead and walked over. He took advantage of the moment when she was staggering to quickly walk in front of her and raise his hand to block her. Anhao¡¯s expression froze, and she suddenly looked up at him.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Department Director Xue also drink a lot of alcohol? I don¡¯t see anything wrong with you. Is it strange that I¡¯m still awake?¡± ¡°No, of course not.¡± Department Director Xue looked at her with a faint smile. She was obviously awake and seemed to have taken a shower.¡±But Mrs. Zuo, have you never thought about why President Zuo didn¡¯t take you away when he saw that you were drunk? Instead, he just left you in the guest room upstairs in the entertainment city and left in a hurry? Haven¡¯t you thought about the reason behind this?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any reason for this.¡±Anhao¡¯s lips curled up coldly.¡± President Zuo is a busy man in your eyes. Whether it¡¯s day or night, it¡¯s not a big deal for him to leave for a while whenever there¡¯s something important. Why would he deliberately stop me and joke about it because of such a small matter?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo is really calm. Don¡¯t you want to know where President Zuo is now?¡±Department Director Xue suddenly took a step forward and approached her. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol on his body was very strong, making Anhao frown instinctively. Chapter 725 - Chapter 725: Zuo Hancheng’s Heartless Heartlessness (1) Chapter 725: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heartless Heartlessness (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao took a step back, her eyes filled with disgust and disgust.¡±¡±No matter where he is, I will find out sooner or later. There is no rush to ask him now.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t ask, can it be interpreted as you don¡¯t dare to ask?¡± Anhao glared at him, her eyes serious and cold.¡±Trust.¡± ¡°Trust? Then let¡¯s return to the topic that Mrs. Zuo deliberately avoided.¡±Department Director Xue chuckled and suddenly lit another cigarette. He squinted his eyes as he smoked and looked at her.¡±Aren¡¯t you curious why President Zuo didn¡¯t bring you home? Instead, he temporarily left you here?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression became even more disgusted when she heard the word ¡®throw¡¯. She did not even want to have too much interaction with these two men who were actually strangers. In addition, she felt that she was still drunk. With just a few words, she had the urge to blow their heads off so that they would not come to her again to make sense of their existence. She tried her best to hold back the urge and only glanced at the elevator with an unfriendly expression. She did not know when the room service would return. When they returned, at least she could make these two men restrain themselves and not block her way. ¡°Is Mrs. Zuo unwilling to talk to us?¡±Department Director Xue saw the obvious impatience in her eyes and smiled.¡±Actually, Mrs. Zuo doesn¡¯t have to be so prejudiced against us. Although we¡¯re from the Construction Bureau, we¡¯re still considered to be in the same organization. We can¡¯t be friends, but we definitely won¡¯t be enemies. After all, you¡¯re still President Zuo¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°Since we know each other¡¯s identities, shouldn¡¯t Department Director Xue have some sense of propriety?¡±Anhao looked up calmly.¡± ¡°Of course I don¡¯t have any ulterior motives.¡±Department Director Xue raised her eyebrows and blew at the smoke at the same time. The smell of the smoke made Anhao uncomfortable. She took a step back, but behind her was the end of the corridor and the escalator. ¡°Yes, Mrs. Zuo.¡± The man beside her said,¡±¡±Actually, us brothers just came out for a smoke and happened to see Mrs. Zuo here, so we came up to say hello. If President Zuo was here, we would definitely come over to say hello.¡± Anhao glanced at him nonchalantly, then looked at Department Director Xue, who was still puffing smoke and deliberately making her feel uncomfortable.¡±That¡¯s all. You two can leave now.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, what¡¯s the hurry?¡± Director Xue kept laughing.¡± We haven¡¯t finished what we were saying just now. We¡¯re here to remind you that President Zuo actually didn¡¯t leave the entertainment city at all. In fact, he went to see the Bai family¡¯s elders.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. She had never expected such a situation. She had never heard that Bai Weiwei¡¯s parents would come here before, but they did not seem to be making things up. However, she only took a step back, her expression unchanged.¡±It¡¯s not within my control who he goes to see. Let alone the Bai family¡¯s elders, even if he meets with the high-ranking officials in the political department or other high-ranking officials from China Y, I don¡¯t seem to have any need to interfere. He has his social circle and business circle. Why should I deliberately ask him who he went to see tonight? Why do you have to tell me?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t be in a hurry to show that you don¡¯t care. You know, the relationship between Deputy Chief Bai and President Zuo is widely known, especially in the political world. Many people say that President Zuo and Deputy Chief Bai are the real golden couple. Besides, the two elders of the Bai family have always taken a fancy to President Zuo as their son-in-law. As for Mrs. Zuo, your existence doesn¡¯t affect the Bai family at all. Firstly, Mrs. Zuo has no background or status. Secondly, Mrs. Zuo doesn¡¯t seem to have a son or daughter to tie down this marriage, so of course, you don¡¯t have to always consider yourself as Mrs. Zuo. This title will belong to someone else sooner or later. Even if it doesn¡¯t belong to Deputy Director Bai, it will definitely belong to someone else.¡± ¡°Of course, this person¡¯s family background must be similar to President Zuo¡¯s. If a rich family wants a happy and long-lasting marriage, they will never be able to avoid the law of matching families.¡± After Department Director Xue finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Anhao, who did not seem to have any change in her expression and did not seem to be affected by her emotions.¡±Looking at your attitude, are you determined to keep the identity of Mrs. Zuo and refuse to let go?¡± Anhao¡¯s head hurt and she was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him.¡±¡±What does the rumored golden couple have to do with me? Movie stars all had their own fixed male and female partners, and they were often seen by the outside world as a golden couple. What a matching pair. They were the focus of attention and anticipation of people all over the world, hoping that they could be together in real life. But ¡± She raised her eyebrows.¡± Acting on occasion is just acting on occasion. Without the premise of feelings, other people¡¯s fantasies can only be fantasies. Why should we care about what others think? Life was his own, not in the eyes of others.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Zuo to be such a stubborn person.¡±The man beside her also took out a cigarette, but he didn¡¯t smoke it. He just casually waved it between his fingers and looked at Anhao¡¯s calm side profile.¡± President Zuo probably didn¡¯t tell you about this. The main reason why we came to the entertainment city tonight was to accompany Xiao Bai to welcome the two elders of the Bai family. Mrs. Zuo suddenly drank too much and had no choice but to miss the opportunity to see Director Bai and Mrs. Bai personally tonight. So, President Zuo sent you to the guest room upstairs to avoid being a hindrance. Then, President Zuo accompanied Xiao Bai to pick up the two elders of the Bai family ¡± Anhao could hear the hidden meaning in his words. Even though she understood the meaning behind his words, she still felt that he was hiding it too deeply. So, she turned around and looked at the man indifferently.¡±So?¡± ¡°So ¡± The man raised his eyebrows and smiled matter-of-factly.¡± It can be seen how important the Bai family¡¯s elders are to President Zuo. He is tied down by the marriage and responsibility in front of him, but every man knows who is the best choice for his wife. Bai Weiwei¡¯s existence is absolutely justified. As for you, Mrs. Zuo . Oh no, as for you, Miss Gu, you¡¯re just a nobody. Do you really think you can compete with the Bai family?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We actually have no ill intentions towards you.¡±Director Xue continued,¡± I just don¡¯t want to see you lose everything in the end, Miss Gu. After all, your marriage with President Zuo will not last long. With the two elders of the Bai family in charge, he will definitely be the future son-in-law. Miss Gu, you might as well quit as soon as possible. You can still ask President Zuo for some breakup fees and divorce compensation. It¡¯s also like being forced away by the two elders of the Bai family in the end. By then, everyone will look bad. Tell me, why force yourself into a dead end, right?¡± Chapter 726 - Chapter 726: Zuo Hancheng’s Heartless Heartlessness (2) Chapter 726: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heartless Heartlessness (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao tilted her head slightly. She was still drunk, but she looked at the two men coldly. ¡°I just like to fight with all kinds of powerful forces. What does it have to do with you?¡± Seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s nonchalant attitude, Director Xue and the man were stunned. They did not expect her to have such a reaction. Anhao¡¯s expression did not change. She curled her lips indifferently.¡±Your Deputy Director Bai is a goddess with a good background and all kinds of good external conditions. Why don¡¯t the two of you hurry up and cozy up to her or take the goddess as your own? Instead, you come out and gossip about other people¡¯s affairs all day long like lackeys. Two grown men become someone else¡¯s lackeys, and you even have the potential to be a woman. Are you sure that the unit you work for is the Construction Bureau and not the Women¡¯s Association?¡± ¡°Oh, no, that¡¯s not right.¡± Just as the two of them were about to flare up, An Hao suddenly raised her hand to stop them from saying anything. She continued,¡±It¡¯s the Association of Women¡¯s Friends.¡± ¡± ¡°Department Director Xue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Miss Gu, it seems like you¡¯ve really drunk too much. I won¡¯t argue with you over these verbal disputes, but I still suggest that you reconsider ¡± Anhao raised her hand again to stop him.¡±What do you mean by not bickering with me after drinking too much? Hurry up and say what you want to say. I can only give you this one chance. In the future, if you still want to try to break up my marriage in front of me like this and say something like voluntarily withdrawing, I will no longer give you a smile.¡± As she spoke, she raised her hand and clasped her hands together. She slowly turned them twice, making the sound of bones criss-crossing. However, she still looked at them with a smile.¡±Do you want to try being beaten up by a woman? If you secretly came up to me and said these words, even if you were beaten up by me, I reckon none of you would dare to fight back. Otherwise, the price waiting for you would be too great, right?¡± Department Director Xue¡¯s face turned pale. She quickly took a step back, but there was still doubt in her eyes. She was not sure if Gu Anhao could beat the two men. She would probably fall before she could even make a move. However, just as he thought of this, the person standing beside Anhao suddenly felt his collar being grabbed. His entire body suddenly moved forward and he almost crashed into the wall. Anhao¡¯s control of strength was very good, but she was still a little unstable because she was drunk. She did not want him to really crash into her, but the fifteen centimeters she wanted to leave before became five centimeters. This kid was almost hit until his head was bleeding. Regardless of whether she made a move or not, the two of them would not dare to retaliate. If she still could not beat them, then she would have wasted her time! He did not expect her to really make a move. She even seemed to have some simple skills Department Director Xue¡¯s face stiffened. He quickly went forward to support his brother and looked at Anhao at the same time. Anhao was already leaning against the wall. She had no energy to continue talking to them because of her headache. She only frowned and said impatiently,¡±Get lost.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Department Director Xue looked at the time and felt that there was no benefit in continuing to delay. However, seeing that Gu Anhao was not affected at all, he said,¡± Miss Gu, you should know how high the status of the Bai family is in the country. You should also know Director Bai¡¯s identity. He is definitely a high-ranking person. He can cause the entire country to shake with his stomp. As for President Zuo, he is indeed not someone to be trifled with. However, his Shengling Group did not start in China but migrated from abroad. No matter how stable its foundation in the country is, it is not as stable as the Bai family.¡± Anhao raised her eyes and looked at him indifferently. Director Xue raised his eyebrows.¡± If the two elders of the Bai family find out that their future son-in-law, whom they have always paid special attention to, has become someone else¡¯s husband, and they even fall out with the Bai family because of a nobody like you who has no status or status, and make their daughter even more sad ¡± Would it affect the future development of Shengling Group in China?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression remained unchanged as she looked at him.¡±¡±Get lost.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all I have to say. Miss Gu should know her limits.¡±Department Director Xue said as he raised his head and knocked on his head.¡±Aiya, speaking of which, the alcohol just now was really too strong. Even after drinking the hangover medicine, I¡¯m still very dizzy. I¡¯ll find a place to sleep for a while. Miss Gu, I won¡¯t disturb you any longer.¡± After saying that, the two of them left through the escalator door of the emergency exit. Anhao leaned against the wall, not moving at all. He was right. Snake-Venom¡¯s effects were indeed very strong. Even though she had drunk the hangover medicine just now and her stomach was not as uncomfortable now, her mind still felt like it was when she was drunk. She was very dizzy and did not have the energy or consciousness to think too much. However, those words kept circling in her mind. Anhao knew that she shouldn¡¯t think about it. She stood there quietly for a while, trying to get rid of those words that she shouldn¡¯t have heard. She turned around and supported herself against the wall, wanting to go back to her room. However, she stopped as she walked because her head was too dizzy. At this moment, the elevator door opened. The room service auntie who had just returned from heating up the milk saw her and quickly walked over. She held the milk in one hand and supported her with the other.¡±Mrs. Zuo, why did you come out? What was going on? Was it a headache? I¡¯ve warmed some milk for you.¡± Anhao was helped back to her room. When she landed on the bed, she felt dizzy. She took the milk from the auntie and took a sip. She didn¡¯t feel any relief. She looked up at the auntie and smiled.¡±Thank you, I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s just that the alcohol I drank before was too strong. I probably won¡¯t be able to wake up tonight.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo is already considered to be someone who can stay sober after drinking too much. I often have drunk people coming to the guest room in our entertainment city. Don¡¯t mention how ugly they look when they¡¯re drunk. If Mrs. Zuo needs anything else, just let me know. I¡¯ll help you do it. My other colleague is helping to pack up the things in the other guest room at the moment, so you can just tell me.¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± I¡¯ll be fine alone for a while. You can go and do your work.¡±¡± The auntie saw that she had indeed drunk too much. Although she had just woken up, her face was still a little red, so she nodded.¡±Well, I¡¯ll be outside. If Mrs. Zuo needs anything, let me know.¡± Just as the auntie was about to leave, Anhao tightened her grip on the glass of milk and suddenly turned to the auntie.¡±¡±Do you know where Mr. Zuo is now?¡± The auntie turned around and smiled.¡± How would I know about the bosses? President Zuo only said that he wouldn¡¯t be away for too long. We didn¡¯t dare to ask.¡± ¡°Is there anyone special coming to your entertainment city tonight?¡± ¡°Someone special?¡± The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment.¡± I think so. An hour ago, there was a couple who came out of nowhere. They were welcomed by many people.¡± Chapter 727 - Chapter 727: Zuo Hancheng’s Heartless Heartlessness (3) Chapter 727: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heartless Heartlessness (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I don¡¯t know who that couple is. The colleagues downstairs said that they didn¡¯t see clearly. They only know that their identities are definitely not ordinary. Even the director and deputy director of the Construction Bureau personally went to welcome them ¡± After Anhao heard this, she immediately retracted her gaze from the auntie¡¯s face and calmly looked at the window in front of her. She said lightly,¡±¡±I understand, thank you.¡± Seeing that she was fine, the auntie instructed,¡±The milk is still a little hot. Drink it slowly and take small sips.¡± Not long after, she heard the sound of the door closing. Anhao slowly drank her milk. Her calm heart was in a mess. She did not know if her rational thoughts had been numbed by the alcohol or what, but she kept thinking about what Director Xue had just said. She raised her hand and knocked on her head. She put the unfinished milk aside and turned around to lie on the bed, wanting to continue sleeping. Go to sleep. Zuo Hancheng would be back soon after she woke up. She would ask him about the situation then. He must have his reasons for suddenly meeting the Bai family¡¯s elders. His attitude towards Bai Weiwei was very obvious in the private room. She did not need to feel anything because of the Bai family¡¯s elders. ¡°If the two elders of the Bai family find out that their son-in-law, who they had always valued, has become someone else¡¯s husband, and even fall out with the Bai family for a small figure like you who has no status or status, and make their daughter even more sad Would it affect the future development of Shengling Group in China?¡± Just as she closed her eyes, the words replayed in her mind. Anhao opened her eyes and looked at the night sky outside the window before sitting up again. She didn¡¯t know what made her want to go down and take a look, but for some reason, she picked up her bag and phone and walked out. The middle-aged woman outside the door had also gone to another room, but she probably wouldn¡¯t be gone for too long. Anhao glanced outside and walked straight to the elevator. Madam Bai went to the washroom. Director Bai received a call at the last minute and walked out of the already quiet private room. At this moment, there were only Zuo Hancheng and Bai Weiwei in the private room, but they were not sitting very close to each other. When Zuo Hancheng came, Director Bai wanted him to sit with Bai Weiwei. However, Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice Director Bai¡¯s gaze and sat on his own square sofa, maintaining a polite distance from Bai Weiwei. The private room was quieter than before, but the lights in the room were dim. Bai Weiwei looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile under the ambiguous light. Zuo Hancheng was born with a clean and cold aura. This was something that she had never seen on any ordinary man. At this time, he was alone in a place. Although they were not close, it was as if they could finally get closer. ¡°Hancheng, my parents were there just now, so it¡¯s not convenient for me to ask.¡±Bai Weiwei said. Zuo Hancheng put down the square cup in his hand. The cup was filled with the water he had asked the waiter for earlier, not wine. As he put down the square cup, he turned to look at Bai Weiwei. ¡°Why not?¡± His voice was clear and cold, and his black eyes were a little chilly.¡±Is it inconvenient for your parents to know that I¡¯m married? Or is it inconvenient for them to know what you want to do?¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s expression did not change. She smiled calmly.¡± Hancheng, please don¡¯t misunderstand. I know that you¡¯re already unhappy that my parents suddenly asked you to come down and meet them. I also know that you¡¯re worried about Miss Gu, but since she¡¯s just drunk, it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal. So, I didn¡¯t think it would affect her too much, so I didn¡¯t stop my parents .¡± Bai Weiwei looked at him and said,¡±¡±But I¡¯m also very concerned about Miss Gu¡¯s current condition. After all, the alcohol content of the beer just now was very high .¡± ¡°It seems that I should thank Miss Bai for your concern. Anhao really just drank too much and fell asleep. Nothing like alcohol poisoning happened.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked like he was smiling, but there was obvious mockery in his eyes. 67.5 One pound of alcohol was enough to cause signs of alcohol poisoning in people who were not used to drinking. Moreover, the can and a half had already exceeded one pound. Zuo Hancheng had already given the Construction Bureau enough face by not acting up in front of everyone in the private room just now. Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words and seeing his expression, Bai Weiwei was stunned for a moment. Zuo Hancheng had always been lenient towards her and had never treated her with such an attitude. This, this obvious attitude of keeping a distance from her, even to the point of impatience. ¡°I¡¯m the one who caused you trouble.¡± Bai Weiwei adjusted her emotions and said softly,¡±¡±I¡¯ll be more careful next time. I won¡¯t give them the chance to make things difficult for Miss Gu again.¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Zuo Hancheng remained silent. When Bai looked up at him in surprise, he said,¡±¡±There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± He also met her gaze, but his gaze was as cold as ice.¡±Including the sudden arrival of your parents tonight. I had no choice but to come and meet them at the last minute because of the name ¡®Shengling Group¡¯ in City A. And next time, I hope Miss Bai won¡¯t make such a sudden attack again. Firstly, I¡¯m only in a cooperative relationship with the Bai family. Secondly, although the two elders have treated me well, it¡¯s not enough for me to go through fire and water for them to the point of losing my principles. Miss Bai, please think twice about everything.¡± Bai Weiwei looked at him in a daze.¡± Hancheng, maybe every woman has the same misconception. They will always pay special attention to the person they like and admire. When you give me a little response or a little gentleness that is different from others, I will feel that you might like me too ¡± So, all this time, it was just my illusion?¡± ¡°Cooperation, I hope Miss Bai can recognize these four words clearly. If it wasn¡¯t for the sudden incident tonight, this Zuo might not want the relationship between Miss Bai and me to be too deadlocked and awkward. After all, leaving a line in front of people makes it easier to meet in the future. This Zuo is not used to completely blocking anyone¡¯s path, but everyone has their principles. Miss Bai has violated my principles, this Zuo can only say this much.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude remained cold and he did not give her any leeway. Bai Weiwei suddenly felt that she was being too unreasonable. She smiled, but her eyes were red with sadness. She asked,¡±¡±Your bottom line is Gu An, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer. ¡°I¡¯d rather you be loyal to your marriage than be loyal to an ordinary woman like Gu Anhao.¡±Bai Weiwei said softly,¡± I don¡¯t believe that there is a pure relationship between people without any purpose. Love at first sight is just a ridiculous story. She has no family background. How can you, the great Zuo Hancheng, show mercy to such a simple woman?¡± I really would rather you be loyal to your marriage and not ¡° Chapter 728 - Chapter 728: Zuo Hancheng’s Heartless Heartlessness (4) Chapter 728: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heartless Heartlessness (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re loyal to your marriage or because of Anhao.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm and he did not even have the patience to explain to Bai Weiwei.¡±¡±It¡¯s not something that Miss Bai should be involved in.¡± Bai Weiwei¡¯s face turned pale. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s silent slap was really loud. Bai Weiwei did not say anything else. She just stared at him for a long time, but she still could not understand why Zuo Hancheng had never heard Gu Anhao¡¯s name in the past three years. However, when Gu Anhao came back, it was as if he had never been separated from her. Could a person really let go of their feelings for three whole years, not even mentioning or thinking about it, just hiding it deep in their hearts and not telling outsiders? He was Zuo Hancheng. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to do it. ¡°My parents ¡± Bai Weiwei thought for a while and said softly,¡±¡±Actually, they¡¯ve always wanted to meet Uncle Zuo and Aunt Zuo, and even more so, Old Master Zuo who¡¯s already past his seventies. I wonder if they¡¯ll have the chance to meet him again.¡± ¡± Zuo¡¯s Group is different from Shengling Group. Shengling Group is in China, so it must have some dealings with the Bai family. However, most of Zuo¡¯s enterprises are in the United States, and the rest of the branches are mostly scattered in England and France, but there are not many of them. There are almost no branches in China, so the relationship between Zuo¡¯s Group and the Bai family is almost parallel. It seems that there is no need to meet.¡± ¡± My parents said that they just want to meet the legendary Old Master Zuo as a junior. After all, he is a legendary figure in the American Chinese business world. In our country, many people have been curious about the Zuo family and Old Master Zuo¡¯s legendary life. Han City, I .¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes remained calm, as if the person who was sitting there and talking to him was not a woman he had known for two years, but a business partner that he did not particularly care about. It seemed that Director Xue and the others had indeed angered Zuo Hancheng when they deliberately forced Gu Anhao to drink. His attitude tonight was so cold that Bai Weiwei, who had always been able to control the entire scene perfectly, could not continue speaking. She chuckled.¡± Hancheng, if you really don¡¯t have any special feelings for my parents and me, why did you come down to see them after my father called you? Gu Anhao was still drunk. If she was more important than my parents, you wouldn¡¯t have come to see them at all.¡± ¡°To me, the two of them are elders.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. He picked up the square cup again and slowly drank the clear water in it. He sounded casual, but in fact, he was extremely cold.¡±At least at this moment, the two of them are still respected elders in my eyes, and not unreasonable people who try to break up other people¡¯s marriages.¡± Anhao walked out of the elevator. Although this entertainment city wasn¡¯t as messy and noisy as the usual bars, it had everything that should be there. The lights lingered in front of her eyes, and her already drunk head was shaken even more. She raised her hand to knock her head and turned to look around. She did not know which private room Zuo Hancheng was in, but since Bai Weiwei¡¯s parents had an unusual identity, they would definitely be in a secluded private room or a particularly high-end private room. She could only look for them based on these two criteria. Sure enough, after walking on the first floor for a while, he walked inside and saw a clean passage with a red carpet behind the corner. There were a few private rooms that were usually not open to the public. However, before she could walk over, she saw a man in his fifties or sixties standing outside a private room. He was on the phone. From the way he answered the phone and the way he stood with his chest out, she could tell that he was a soldier when he was young. Moreover, he looked very imposing and had the bearing of a leader. On closer look, she vaguely felt that he seemed to be a Beijing leader she had seen on the television news. There was no doubt that this man was Bai Weiwei¡¯s father, Director Bai himself. Anhao stood outside the passageway for a while. She had intended to go in and check it out, but she slowly stopped. Madam Bai and Director Bai returned to the private room almost at the same time, but they could vaguely feel that the atmosphere was a little off. Bai Weiwei was still smiling before, but now, although she did not seem to have changed much, her smile was obviously forced. ¡°Han City.¡± Director Bai was not as sensitive as Madam Bai to notice her daughter¡¯s abnormality. After entering the room, he smiled and sat down beside Zuo Hancheng.¡±When your auntie and I came to City A, we left in a hurry. We still had some things to deal with in Beijing.¡± ¡°Director Bai is busy with work and it is difficult for him to find time to spend with his family. It is rare for him to come out for a walk, so he should put down his work and rest occasionally.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was polite, but his eyes were indifferent, like a sleeping lion. He did not reveal his true sharp side. ¡°Haha.¡± Director Bai smiled.¡± That¡¯s right. I rarely have the chance to spend time with my family. My wife is better off. Her working environment is similar to mine. It¡¯s just that Weiwei .¡± Director Bai looked at Bai Weiwei, who was sitting with Madam Bai.¡±¡±She refused the good job in Beijing and insisted on working in A City. I also know that A City is one of the fastest developing coastal cities in the country, but she¡¯s unfamiliar with this place. Tell me, who gave her the courage to come here to work so far away from home?¡± Director Bai looked at Zuo Hancheng as he spoke. His expression and tone were obvious, but he was the girl¡¯s parents after all, so he could not be too direct. However, Zuo Hancheng did not respond to him at all. He was silent and noble, and his voice was as cold as ice.¡±It¡¯s indeed a pity that Miss Bai gave up her job in Beijing and transferred to City A. I¡¯ve also heard from my friends in the Construction Bureau that Miss Bai is hardworking and is definitely a talent worthy of returning to Beijing to cultivate.¡± Director Bai could hear the distance in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. He actually claimed to have heard about Bai Weiwei from someone from the Construction Bureau? This was completely different from what Bai Weiwei had said about Zuo Hancheng taking care of her. He turned to look at Bai Weiwei, but Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes darkened and she pursed her lips without saying anything. At this moment, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cell phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was probably the call from the room¡¯s operator. As soon as he saw the number, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intuition told him that something was wrong. When he got up, he had an imposing manner that did not allow anyone to approach him. His voice was like the last calm before the storm.¡±I have something to do at the last minute. Excuse me!¡± Chapter 729 - Chapter 729: Can’t You Be Gentle (1) Chapter 729: Can¡¯t You Be Gentle (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude was too obvious. Director Bai looked at his back as he left, then turned to look at Bai Weiwei, who had been silent all this while. ¡°What happened?¡± Bai Weiwei did not answer. She only watched as Zuo Hancheng walked out of the door. She hid the disappointment and sadness in her eyes. That phone call just now must have something to do with Gu Anhao Zuo Hancheng answered the call as he walked out of the private room.¡±¡±What is it?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, Mrs. Zuo is missing.¡±The room service staff sounded a little anxious.¡± Mrs. Zuo was supposed to be in the room, but when we went in to check on her condition, we realized that she was gone. We thought that she was just out for a walk because she had a headache, but we couldn¡¯t find her anywhere. It¡¯s been almost ten minutes, so we were worried, so we had no choice but to ask the receptionist for your number to ask you about the situation ¡± ¡± What?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes darkened.¡± She¡¯s always sleeping in her room. How could she suddenly disappear?¡±¡± As he spoke, he was already walking up the nearest escalator as fast as he could. ¡°We¡¯re not sure either. Mrs. Zuo woke up once before and we saw her take a shower. She seemed to be fine, but she said that the alcohol was too strong and she felt a little uncomfortable, so we heated up some milk for her. After giving her the milk, we left. When we returned, Mrs. Zuo was gone! Mr. Zuo, didn¡¯t Mrs. Zuo look for you? She asked Mr. Zuo where you went before ¡± Before the room service staff could finish speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already walked up to the second floor. The room service staff turned around and was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng. He quickly hung up the phone and walked to him with fear in his eyes.¡±Mister Zuo ¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and walked back to his room. When he opened the door, he saw that the bed that Anhao had slept on was empty. Her bag, clothes, and shoes were all gone. However, there were some inconspicuous water stains on the carpet in front of the bathroom door. It was obvious that Anhao had woken up halfway and had taken a shower. The room service staff did not lie to him. He picked up his phone and glanced at it. There was no call from Anhao, so he dialed her number. At the same time, he turned around and walked out. As he walked, he asked,¡±Was there anything strange before she left?¡± ¡± No, Mrs. Zuo said that her stomach wasn¡¯t feeling well and she had a headache. After we gave her the milk, she asked us to leave first, saying that she wanted to rest. Other than asking Mr. Zuo where you went and whether there was anyone special who came tonight, Mrs. Zuo didn¡¯t seem to have anything unusual ¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped in his tracks. Before Anhao fell asleep, she had no idea that the two elders of the Bai family would be here. Why would she suddenly ask this? ¡°She has been in the room since she woke up?¡± The room service thought for a moment and said,¡±I think she stopped in the corridor for a while, but it shouldn¡¯t have been long. It was when we heated the milk for her.¡± Anhao¡¯s call went unanswered, but it was not because her phone was switched off or that she could not be connected. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold as he continued to call her while he turned around and went downstairs to the surveillance room of the entertainment city. In the surveillance video, Anhao staggered out of the room, but she was stopped by the two men from the Construction Bureau at the end of the corridor. The video only showed Anhao being stopped by the two men for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Anhao pulled one of the men to the wall and said a few more words before the two men left. After she left, Anhao stood by the wall for a while before she was noticed by the room service. They helped her back to her room. Zuo Hancheng was still on the phone with Anhao after he saw what happened after Anhao woke up. However, if this girl really wanted to avoid him, she would probably turn off her phone. However, her phone was still connected, but she did not pick up. This worried Zuo Hancheng. After all, the after-effects of the wine were too strong. If she did not continue to rest and ran out, she was afraid that she would fall asleep by the roadside. On the first floor, Bai Weiwei was in a bad mood. She left the private room to avoid her parents ¡®questioning. After all, no one was willing to admit that it was one-sided, let alone in front of her parents. Bai Weiwei¡¯s pride did not allow her to admit that she had failed, and she did not want to admit that she was unwilling to give up on Zuo Hancheng even though she knew that he was married. She ran into Director Xue, who was talking and laughing with others outside the passageway. Those people had always been her best friends in the Construction Bureau. Seeing that Bai Weiwei did not look too good, they walked over to talk to her. Zuo Hancheng happened to pass by them when he went downstairs. Bai Weiwei turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was in a hurry. It seemed that something had happened. She turned around and was about to ask him, but Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped and turned to look at Director Xue and the other colleague from the Construction Bureau. Sensing the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, Bai was slightly stunned.¡±¡±Han City? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Department Director Xue instinctively took a step to the side when he saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. Because Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was too cold and threatening, he was so guilty that he did not dare to meet his frosty gaze. He turned his head and gave a look to his colleagues beside him, hinting that they should not say anything. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was too cold and frightening. Bai asked in confusion,¡±¡±Han Cheng, you said you had something urgent to attend to. Is it true? You ¡± ¡°What did you say to her?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice Bai Weiwei. He only stared at Department Director Xue coldly and solemnly. Department Director Xue was stunned and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. When he saw the murderous look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, his heart skipped a beat.¡±What does President Zuo mean by this What did he say to her? I don¡¯t think I understand.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold.¡±Do you think the surveillance cameras in every corner of the entertainment city are just for show?¡± Department Director Xue did not expect Zuo Hancheng to actually go and pull up the surveillance footage. His expression froze for a moment, but he did not say anything. He only turned his head away to avoid Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze. ¡°What surveillance?¡± ¡°Han City?¡± Bai Weiwei was confused.¡± Now was not the time to waste time with them. Wasting a second would bring infinite possibilities. Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else and turned to leave. Bai Weiwei felt that there must be a reason for this. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was about to leave, she quickly grabbed his arm in confusion, but she could only grab his sleeve.¡±Hancheng, what happened? What did Department Director Xue do?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng had already dodged his arm, and Bai Weiwei¡¯s hand froze in mid-air.¡±¡±Han ¡± ¡°Miss Bai, enough is enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice was like a sharp sword. At the same time, he left the entertainment city without looking back. Chapter 730 - Chapter 730: Can’t You Be Gentle (2) Chapter 730: Can¡¯t You Be Gentle (2) Translator: 549690339 Bai Weiwei knew Zuo Hancheng¡¯s habits. Even though he was already very impatient with them tonight, the icy gaze in his eyes just now was definitely unusual! She suddenly turned around and looked at Department Director Xue, who was about to push the colleague beside her back to the private room.¡±What exactly happened?¡± Department Director Xue looked at the colleagues beside him, then looked at the confusion in Bai Weiwei¡¯s eyes. It was as if he felt that he had not helped because of his loyalty. It seemed like a disaster was coming Zuo Hancheng walked out of the entertainment city, but Anhao¡¯s phone was still not picked up. It was no longer raining outside, but the air was still a little cold after the rain. He looked around and saw that Anhao was nowhere to be seen. Zuo Hancheng looked at his phone and saw that no one was picking up. His expression was as cold as the night. He then looked at the cars passing by in front of him, and his eyes were sharp. Anhao was sitting in the taxi. She was really tormented by the aftertaste of the wine. After getting into the car, she didn¡¯t give the address. She was too uncomfortable and directly leaned against the back of the car and closed her eyes to rest. The driver saw that she seemed to have drunk too much, but she didn¡¯t give him the address. He asked her a few questions, but she didn¡¯t respond. However, he saw that this girl didn¡¯t seem to be short of money, so he slowly walked around. Anyone could earn money, but he didn¡¯t know when this girl would give him the address. He couldn¡¯t just walk around all night. Anhao¡¯s phone was set to vibrate, so she knew that it was vibrating non-stop in her bag. On the one hand, she did not want to answer the call. On the other hand, she was so uncomfortable that it was difficult for her to even lift her hand. However, her phone kept vibrating and her legs were numb. After a long time, she opened her eyes and slowly took out her phone from her bag. Without even looking at the caller ID, she guessed that it must be Zuo Hancheng who had called after realizing that she was missing. After she picked up the call, she placed it beside her ear and whispered,¡±I came out for a walk, don¡¯t worry ¡± ¡°Gu Anhao, where did she go? He hasn¡¯t been picking up his phone!¡± Anhao was about to speak when she suddenly realized that the voice and tone were wrong. She glanced at the number displayed on her phone and it was Rong Qian! Her temples were throbbing, and she put the phone back to her ear patiently.¡±Why is it you? What was he doing? If there¡¯s anything, say it. If there¡¯s nothing, hang up. I don¡¯t have time to play with you!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not dead, come and see me. I¡¯m dying.¡±Rong Qian¡¯s voice was weak. Anhao rolled her eyes weakly. If you want to die, then die early and reincarnate as soon as possible. Don¡¯t always bother me, okay?¡± ¡± Gu Anhao, do you have any conscience? I¡¯m dying ¡± His tone was really different from usual. Not only was his voice soft, but his breathing also sounded uneven. It seemed like she was really seriously ill. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and she sobered up a little. Could it be cancer? ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± She clenched her phone tightly.¡± ¡°Fever, 40 degrees, no one at home I¡¯m about to burn to death ¡± ¡± ¡°Anhao immediately raised her hand and placed it on her forehead.¡± Young Master Rong, if you have a fever, take some fever medicine. Go take a warm bath to dissipate the heat. I thought you had cancer!¡±¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s cancer ¡± Anhao sobered up a little and looked surprised.¡±Really?¡± Lovesickness cancer, oh, my heart If you didn¡¯t come, I would have died It was 40 degrees Celsius. She was alone in China without anyone to take care of her. Ah . It was so uncomfortable Burn me to death ¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Then you can burn to death.¡±¡± The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent. Anhao didn¡¯t think much of it at first, but when she realized that there was no sound on the other end, she immediately asked,¡±¡±Hello? Did he really burn to death? Speak!¡± ¡± 8th floor, Shangtai Apartment, 88 Guangyuan Road Come and save me.¡± After a long time, Rong Qian gave an address weakly, and then there was no sound again. ¡°What is it? Hello? Hey!¡± ¡°Rong?¡± Anhao held the phone.!¡± There was no response from the other end. Anhao was stunned for a while. She lowered her head to look at the screen again. The call had been cut off. If the temperature of 40 degrees was allowed to continue burning like this, people would indeed die But what did it have to do with her? She hadn¡¯t even settled her own matters, so how could she care about the lives of others? Anhao threw her phone back into her bag and ignored the continuous vibration of her phone. She didn¡¯t care if it was Zuo Hancheng, Rong Qian, or any other bastard. She wasn¡¯t going to pick it up! ¡°Miss, where exactly are you going? I¡¯ve been driving around the city for a while and have already transferred more than 60 yuan. No matter how rich you are, you can¡¯t be so willful ¡± The chauffeur saw that she was going to continue sleeping in the back and asked in time. Anhao closed her eyes and sighed. Where to? Luxury Court? Eternal Ocean City? Or was it the Gilded Scenic Garden? What Bai Weiwei said was true. Which of these places did not belong to Zuo Hancheng? Her head hurt so much that she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She just wanted to find a place to calm down. ¡°Miss, where are you going?¡± The driver asked again. If you¡¯re feeling unwell from drinking too much, why don¡¯t I send you to the hospital?¡± Anhao opened her eyes impatiently.¡±What hospital? Cursing me to get sick?¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± asked the driver. Do you want to sit in my car for the entire night? That¡¯s fine too. If you rent a car tonight, I¡¯ll give you a discount In any case, business has indeed not been very good recently ¡± Anhao was speechless. Ten minutes later, he went to the apartment. When Anhao got out of the car, she looked around and realized that she was near A High School. She looked up at the high-rise buildings in the apartment building and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. Did water enter her brain just now? Why did she tell the driver Rong Qian¡¯s address? Even if he burned to death, what did it have to do with her? Anhao raised her hand and knocked on her head. She turned to look in the direction of A High School and remembered that Rong Qian seemed to have lived in Shangtai Apartment when he first came to A High School. Was he going back to his old place? No other property? He had defied the Rong family¡¯s wishes and moved the business that was originally going to be moved to Shanghai to City A. This young master was really willful. However, she didn¡¯t have any particularly pleasant memories in A High School. She didn¡¯t cut off contact with Chunchun and Huang Amao, so she didn¡¯t have any special feelings for A High School. Naturally, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to walk around A High School. However, they were already at the stage apartment. If that person really had a high fever of 40 degrees and was willful enough not to call the doctor, she couldn¡¯t just leave him to die. Anyway, he had nowhere to go. At most, he would do a good deed to accumulate merit for himself. Anhao turned around and went to the nearby pharmacy. She knew that she had taken some hangover medicine, but the alcohol was too strong. She planned to take some more to help her feel dizzy. After buying some medicine, she also bought some medicine to reduce her fever. After leaving the pharmacy, she went straight to the apartment. Chapter 731 - Chapter 731: Can’t You Be Gentle (3) Chapter 731: Can¡¯t You Be Gentle (3) Translator: 549690339 Because she had just asked for a glass of water and drank some hangover medicine at the pharmacy, Anhao was barely able to feel more energetic now. She walked to his door, looked at the door in front of her, and listened to the movements inside. She was still considering whether she should go in or not. Did he really have a fever? What if he was just pretending to be sick to trick her into coming over? Even if he really had a fever, why didn¡¯t he call the doctor when it was 40 degrees? Could it be that he had eaten too many brain-dead pills? After hesitating for a long time, she did not knock on the door. Suddenly, the door in front of her was opened from the inside. Anhao was stunned. She looked up and saw Rong Qian leaning against the door weakly. When he saw her coming, he raised his hand to signal her to go in. At the same time, he turned around and leaned against the wall, looking as if he could not stand steadily. It was already past midnight. The security guard outside wouldn¡¯t suddenly call the owner to say that someone was coming. So Rong Qian had been waiting for her? There was only a dim light coming from inside. Anhao walked forward and saw that there was only a floor lamp in the living room. Anhao could see that Rong Qian¡¯s expression was not good under the dim light. His breathing was heavier than usual, and he seemed to be leaning against the wall weakly. He grinned. He was obviously feeling uncomfortable, but he smiled as if he was in a good mood.¡±I knew you would come ¡± His voice was still hoarse, but he didn¡¯t forget to show off even though he was sick. Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Rong Qian leaned against the wall and raised his eyebrows.¡± Anhao looked at him again and walked in with a guarded face. After looking around, Rong Qian suddenly said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t have any wolves or tigers here. Do you have to act like you¡¯ve entered a tiger¡¯s den?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched and she rolled her eyes at him.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard? Who do you think I¡¯m guarding against?¡± Rong Qian suddenly smiled, but his face was haggard. He raised his hand to pull his hair and said weakly,¡±¡±Yes, but a wolf, tiger, and leopard with a high fever of 40 degrees can¡¯t do anything to you.¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have come if I didn¡¯t hear you burning up like this.¡±Anhao muttered and walked over. As soon as she got close, she felt the burning aura that only a high fever could emit from Rong Qian. She frowned instantly.¡±Is the fever really that serious? Why didn¡¯t you call the doctor? Where is the light switch?¡± Rong Qian raised his finger and pointed at the wall on the other side of the door. Then, he turned around weakly and staggered to the sofa. He fell on the sofa. Seeing that he was about to fall on the sofa, Anhao turned around and turned on the chandelier in the guest light. She squinted her eyes to adapt to the light for a while before she took the medicine in her hand and went over.¡±Then, I bought you some fever medicine.¡± ¡°Yes ¡± Rong Qian¡¯s head was buried in the sofa. He barely responded, but he did not move. Anhao looked displeased. She reached out and touched his shoulder, then placed her hand on his ear. Don¡¯t blame her for not touching his forehead. Who asked him to bury his face in the pillow? She couldn¡¯t dig him out from the sofa. It was indeed very hot! ¡°What are you doing? You said you had a fever, so you called me for no reason. Fortunately, you were lucky enough to catch me outside tonight. Otherwise, do you think I would come to your house in the middle of the night to buy medicine for you?¡±Anhao looked at him unwillingly.¡±¡±It¡¯s already good enough that I bought you medicine. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re still waiting for me to boil water and serve you medicine?¡± Rong Qian turned his head and looked at Anhao¡¯s obvious impatience. He said lazily,¡±¡±Will it kill you to serve me?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Anhao threw the medicine on the coffee table beside him.¡±¡±Eat it yourself! I¡¯m not a family doctor! I don¡¯t owe you anything! Why didn¡¯t you call the doctor and call me instead? Are you crazy?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Rong Qian closed his eyes and hummed. Anhao was speechless. He was really thick-skinned. He was indeed Rongxue¡¯s younger brother. They were all the same. She rolled her eyes and decided to ignore him.¡±I haven¡¯t settled my own matters yet, so I¡¯m not in the mood to care about you. Then, buy the medicine. Don¡¯t say that I didn¡¯t help you. If you don¡¯t take the medicine after buying it, don¡¯t look for me even if you die.¡± After saying that, she ignored him and walked around the sofa to leave. She did not have much sympathy for Rong Qian. The reason why she suddenly asked the driver to drive the car here was definitely because she was too drunk. Just as she was about to walk out of the door, Rong Qian¡¯s stammering voice came from the sofa.¡±What time is it now?¡± Anhao took a look at the time as she walked out and replied indifferently,¡±¡±Half past midnight.¡± ¡± If I were to really burn you to death today, the headlines tomorrow will definitely be about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife meeting a mysterious young man at night. The young man died tragically at home, and the truth is confusing. The news will be overwhelming ¡± Anhao¡¯s temples twitched again. She could not take it anymore and turned to look at the bastard who had been lying on the sofa without moving.¡±What night party? You¡¯re a young man? Do you have any shame?¡± Rong Qian snorted and said weakly,¡±¡±Anyway, if I were to be burned alive tonight, you definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to get away with it. The security guards in this neighborhood saw you come in, and there are also surveillance cameras in the elevator and in front of the neighborhood. And the driver They are all witnesses ¡± Anhao only felt her headache, which had just eased up a little, get worse. She suddenly turned around and looked around, trying to find any weapons that could be used. She didn¡¯t have to wait for him to burn to death, she would just kill him! Anyway, the alcohol level in her body was still quite high. If they said that she was drunk and committed a crime, they could at least reduce her sentence by a few years! After searching for a long time, there was nothing on the ground. Rong Qian¡¯s voice came from behind again.¡±I really feel like I¡¯m going to die now ¡± Anhao turned around and looked at the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and walked back. She closed the door and walked back to the sofa. She raised her leg and kicked his leg.¡±Can you still sit up?¡± Rong Qian maintained his posture on the sofa and turned to look at her again.¡±Help me.¡± ¡°Shall I help you?¡± Anhao clenched her fists and held back her urge to kick him.¡±¡±Help your head! Get up quickly! Eat the medicine, don¡¯t really burn yourself into a retard!¡± Rong Qian did not move, his voice weak.¡±¡±No strength ¡± Anhao ignored him and picked up the medicine on the coffee table. She looked around and found a cup and a water purifier to pour some water.¡±Hurry up and get up. I don¡¯t know if you have hot water at home. I¡¯ll pour some room temperature water for you to drink first. Take the medicine quickly. I¡¯ll help you boil some hot water later.¡± Seeing that Rong Qian did not move, she lifted her leg and kicked him twice again.¡±Don¡¯t force me to make a move!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you be gentler?¡± Chapter 732 - Chapter 732: Can’t You Be Gentle (4) Chapter 732: Can¡¯t You Be Gentle (4) Translator: 549690339 ¡°My gentleness?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t afford it.¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± The person lying on the sofa maintained his prone position, but it was obvious that he was almost dizzy from the fever. He slowly raised his hand and said,¡±Give me the water. I¡¯ll drink it myself.¡± Anhao frowned. He probably wasn¡¯t faking it. He really didn¡¯t have the strength to get up. How could he drink it while lying down? She put down the cup and walked over to stand beside the sofa. She looked at him twice and then bent down to help him sit up. It was not until Rong Qian leaned against the sofa that she picked up the cup again and handed it to his mouth.¡±Then, drink the medicine.¡± Rong Qian closed his eyes and looked down at the water she handed him. Then, he looked at the white pill in her other hand and rejected her with a face full of rejection. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re the type who doesn¡¯t like to take medicine since you were young?¡±Anhao asked with suspicion and disdain. Otherwise, how could he not know how to take his medicine? Rong Qian closed his eyes and didn¡¯t say anything. It was obvious that he agreed, but he also seemed to feel embarrassed. Anhao was speechless. No wonder he didn¡¯t go find two pills to take first. ¡± Forget it then. Let¡¯s go to the hospital directly!¡± She put down the water and medicine and reached out to pull him.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go to the hospital. I remember that there¡¯s a small hospital near A High School that has a very good effect on injections and fever!¡± ¡°Aiya, I don¡¯t even have the strength to stand up. How can I have the strength to go to the hospital?¡±Rong Qian frowned and refused with his head tilted. ¡°Then why did you ask me to come over? Do you want me to sit by the side and watch you burn alive?¡±¡±Are you really crazy?¡± Anhao asked curiously.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be burned to death.¡± Rong Qian turned his head and looked at her. He smiled weakly,¡±¡± It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen you for a while. Just now, I sat up in shock from my illness and suddenly wanted to see you. It just so happened that my fever was unbearable and there was no one by my side, so I called you .¡± ¡°You have a high fever of 40 degrees and can¡¯t go down. Do you think this is a joke?¡±Anhao suddenly picked up the cup and medicine again and brought them to his mouth.¡±¡±No matter what, drink the medicine first!¡± Rong Qian turned his head and refused to drink. Anhao used her hand to pry his chin and said fiercely,¡±¡±Do you want to drink?¡± Rong Qian looked up at her, his haggard and weak expression showing some grievance. Anhao didn¡¯t sympathize with him at all. This wasn¡¯t poison! Hurry up and drink it!¡± Seeing that he was still unmoved, Anhao pried open his mouth and stuffed the pill into his mouth just as he was about to resist. Then, just as he was about to turn his head away, she pinched his chin with one hand and forced water into his mouth with the other. Although Rong Qian struggled, he knew that if he didn¡¯t swallow the water, he would choke to death. He had no choice but to swallow the water. At the same time, when the bitter pill slid down his throat, he immediately looked disgusted and wanted to vomit. ¡°Hold it in, don¡¯t vomit!¡± Anhao pointed at his face and said fiercely,¡±¡±If you dare to vomit, I¡¯ll call 120 and get someone to carry you to the hospital!¡± Rong Qian resisted the feeling of the bitter pill in his throat. He was naturally disgusted by drugs and sat on the sofa with his lips pursed. He looked at Anhao, who was glaring at him fiercely. After a long time, the feeling of wanting to vomit gradually disappeared. He smiled with a pale face, but his smile was uglier than crying.¡±Even my mom hasn¡¯t forced me to drink medicine. Gu Anhao, you¡¯re the first one.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± If you go to the hospital now, the doctor won¡¯t put you on an IV drip immediately when he sees that you have such a high fever. He will force you to take antipyretic first and only put you on an IV drip when your temperature has dropped to a certain level. That¡¯s common sense!¡± Besides, this isn¡¯t the Rong family, and I¡¯m not your mother! You called me here in the middle of the night. Do you think I¡¯ll spoil you?¡± Anhao said as she turned around and put down the cup. She then went to the kitchen, turned on the light, and went in. She found the utensils to boil water and then turned around and walked out. Seeing that Rong Qian was still sitting on the sofa, she frowned and said,¡±Do you want to lie down on the bed? You¡¯ve just taken your medicine. It¡¯s best to drink some hot water and sweat. You¡¯ll be fine once the fever subsides. The water will be ready in a while.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Rong Qian opened his eyes and looked at her. Would Zuo Hancheng let you out in the middle of the night?¡± Anhao avoided the topic and did not answer. Instead, she asked,¡±¡±Do you have any blankets in your room?¡± ¡°It¡¯s summer now. Are you trying to suffocate me?¡±Rong Qian began to wonder if she knew how to take care of people. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and just walked into the bedroom. She found the blanket on the bed and took it out. Seeing that he was planning to sit on the sofa until dawn, she walked over and covered him with the blanket. Then, she tucked in the corners of the blanket.¡±Just sit there and don¡¯t move. The fever will subside when it comes out.¡± After saying that, she turned around and ran to the kitchen to pour hot water. After pouring the water, she left it to dry. She raised her scalded hand and rubbed it twice by her ear. When she came out, she saw that Rong Qian was obviously uncomfortable, but he did not seem to be sleepy at all. He just stared at the dark TV with his eyes half-open. Anhao suddenly thought that since she had nowhere to go tonight and was already here, she might as well wait for his fever to subside before leaving. But how was he going to kill time during this period? ¡°Do you have any horror movies at home?¡± Rong Qian looked at her as if he was looking at a monster.¡±¡±You want to see?¡± ¡°Nonsense, it¡¯s only a little late now. I probably won¡¯t be able to leave until tomorrow morning. If I don¡¯t look for some scans, do I have to watch you all night?¡±Anhao said matter-of-factly. At the same time, she turned around and started to look around.¡±You can¡¯t even find those super scary horror movies on TV, and there aren¡¯t many high-definition movies in online theaters. You can only watch them on discs. Do you have horror movies on discs at home?¡± Rong Qian had doubts about her taste and asked again,¡±¡±You really want to see it?¡± ¡°Is there?¡± He slowly lifted his hand from under the blanket and pointed to the room next to the bedroom. Anhao glanced over and walked over quickly. She pushed open the door and found that it was a storeroom. There were all kinds of discs, so she squatted down to rummage through them. In the living room, Rong Qian started to wonder if calling Gu Anhao over to take care of him was a wrong decision. What had triggered this woman? He actually wanted to watch a horror movie in the middle of the night? Just as he was thinking about it, the bag beside the coffee table vibrated. Rong Qian glanced at it and then looked at Anhao who was still looking for a CD in the storeroom. He heard the phone vibrate for a while and then stopped. In less than half a minute, it vibrated again. He narrowed his eyes and bent down to open his bag. He saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private number on the screen. Rong Qian raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded,¡±¡±Where is it?¡± Chapter 733 - Chapter 733: Intense, In the Car (1) Chapter 733: Intense, In the Car (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Where is he?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked in a deep voice.¡± Rong Qian glanced in Anhao¡¯s direction and suddenly grinned.¡±¡±I was wondering who it was. It was so late at night that it was like a series of calls. Wife ran away?¡± The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds.¡± Rong Qian snorted.¡± It¡¯s been a long time since we last met. President Zuo¡¯s hearing is still very good. I remember the last time I called you, my sister hadn¡¯t gone to Africa yet.¡±¡± Rong Qian said as he looked in the direction of the storeroom from time to time. Anhao was almost half buried in the cabinet. He didn¡¯t know if she had found it. ¡°Is she with you?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was deep and clear. He did not sound surprised at all, but it was obvious that he did not hide the displeasure in his voice. Rong Qian narrowed his eyes and smiled smugly. He didn¡¯t answer and asked,¡±¡±President Zuo, why don¡¯t you ask her what she¡¯s doing here? At one in the morning, a man and a woman are alone. Aiya, this night is especially beautiful ¡± However, no matter how much he provoked him, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response was to cut off the phone. Rong Qian paused and glanced at the phone that had been hung up. He threw the phone back into Anhao¡¯s bag expressionlessly and retracted his hand to continue curling up on the sofa with the blanket. He narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the night outside the window. ¡°Hey, can you not put things in the storeroom? It¡¯s fine if a man doesn¡¯t clean up normally, but what¡¯s with all this mess?¡±Anhao found a box in the utility room. After pulling the box out, she found a pile of discs inside. She finally found a few horror movies, but she found all kinds of messy clothes under the box. It didn¡¯t look like Rong Qian¡¯s style at all. ¡°That box is not mine.¡± Rong Qian turned to the direction of the other side and replied,¡±¡±How long do you think I¡¯ve been in A City? Three years ago, I didn¡¯t stay here for long. How could I have collected so many discs? A friend of mine had left all the rubbish here with me before he went abroad. I thought it was too messy, so I threw it into the storeroom. I don¡¯t even know what¡¯s in there.¡± Anhao immediately looked inside again. She knew it. Rong Qian¡¯s expression just now seemed to be uninterested in horror movies, but there were really a few horror movies that were very popular a few years ago in this box. She found a total of four discs, turned around and walked out. She went to the TV and began to study how to play the movies. Rong Qian glanced at the CD box that she had thrown on the coffee table. The blood-stained female ghost was staring at him with her hand outstretched. He felt a chill down his spine as he shivered under the blanket and looked at Anhao who was squatting in front of the TV.¡±What triggered you? Can we watch another film? Japanese action movies are good too!¡± Anhao was too lazy to bother with him. She put the CD away and turned around to look around the kitchen. She found some fresh fruits in the fridge and two bags of unopened potato chips. She walked out with her favorite fruits and chips and sat on the sofa where Rong Qian was. The television had also started to play the horror movie on the disc after two two minutes of buffer time. The first scene was a female ghost with long hair covering her face slowly crawling out. Her pitch-black eyes stared at them as if they could eat people alive. Rong Qian felt a chill run down his spine as he watched. He felt that he couldn¡¯t hold back his sweat. Gu Anhao, on the other hand, sat at the side as if she was watching an art film. She stared at the female ghost on the screen as she used a fruit knife to cut an apple. She cut the apple in half, but her eyes never left the screen. She put the apple in her mouth and bit on it while handing the other half to her. However, because she wasn¡¯t looking at him, the apple she reached out almost poked his eyes.¡±Then, here you go.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not eating!¡± Rong Qian turned his head away in annoyance.¡± You can still eat this kind of movie? Gu Anhao, you¡¯re such a weirdo!¡±¡± Anhao put the apple back into the fruit bowl on the coffee table. She didn¡¯t care whether he liked it or not. She didn¡¯t usually watch it anyway. In the past, she had only watched it secretly in the dormitory with Huang Amao and Chunchun Nest when they were in school. At that time, the three little girls would curl up in a small bed and watch horror movies on the computer screen. When they went to thrilling places, they would scream and hug each other. And now She didn¡¯t know why she wanted to watch a horror movie. The bloodier, the better, and the scarier, the better. However, the TV screen was showing a particularly scary scene. Rong Qian had already closed his eyes tightly and refused to watch it. Just listening to the sound was enough to make his hair stand on end. Anhao, on the other hand, was biting the apple bit by bit, completely unaffected. Rong Qian kept his eyes closed. The sound on the TV gradually became less scary. He slowly opened his eyes. However, the camera turned to the scene of the female ghost being deliberately made mysterious by the camera. She was stretching out her hands and her eyes were still staring at him. Rong Qian broke out in a cold sweat, but at this moment, he heard a cracking sound. He immediately turned his eyes and saw the female ghost tearing off a living human head. Gu Anhao tore open the bag of potato chips. When the female ghost began to suck human blood, Gu Anhao began to put the potato chips into her mouth. With the sound of chewing the potato chips, Rong Qian felt that he was going to have a mental breakdown. The TV kept screaming and screaming. Rong Qian couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He lifted the blanket and wanted to hide in the bedroom. However, as soon as he moved, Anhao turned to look at him and reached out to grab his hand.¡±Yo, you¡¯re sweating!¡± Rong Qian speechlessly looked at the sweat stains on his clothes. He had been shivering just now and did not realize that he was actually sweating. ¡°No matter how fast the effect is, it won¡¯t be this fast. It seems that horror films are also effective in treating fevers.¡±Anhao laughed as she continued to eat her chips. She stared at the TV and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re so useless. You only watched a horror movie for less than 20 minutes and you¡¯re already sweating. Rongqian, you¡¯re really something!¡± ¡°Crazy!¡± Rong Qian rolled his eyes. Although he was sweating, he had no strength to get up. He could only continue to sit on the sofa and endure the horrible images and sounds on the TV screen. The TV screen was suddenly shocked for a while, but he did not dare to open his eyes again. He simply leaned his head on Anhao¡¯s shoulder. Anhao immediately averted her face with a look of disgust. Rong Qian suddenly raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes to ask,¡±Did you drink before coming here? Why do I smell like alcohol?¡± ¡°Your nose is still so sensitive even with a fever? I¡¯ve already taken a shower and you can smell it? What¡¯s with your dog nose?¡± Anhao glanced at him. ¡°I have a fever, not a cold.¡±Rong Qian rolled his eyes. Chapter 734 - Chapter 734: Intense, In the Car (2) Chapter 734: Intense, In the Car (2) Translator: 549690339 Ten minutes later- ¡°Ahhhhhhh!¡±Anhao jumped up from the shock of the horrifying scene on the screen, purely looking for an opportunity to vent. ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!¡±A voice louder than hers rang out in her ear, shocking her so much that she turned her eyes abruptly. She saw Rong Qian¡¯s pale face screaming as he held her hand tightly, his fingers almost digging into her wrist. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Anhao flung his hand away forcefully. ¡°This is so freaking scary! Are you allowed to call me that?¡± Rong Qian had been stimulated to the point of mental weakness. After staring at her for a while, he sat back on the sofa. He was sweating profusely because of the horror movies and the fever medicine, but his fever had completely subsided. Anhao took advantage of the fact that the movie was not as scary as before to get up and rummage around. She found a thermometer in his first aid kit and threw it to him. He measured it once. It was 37.2 degrees Celsius. ¡°Your fever has subsided. Not bad.¡± She put away the thermometer and threw it back into the first aid kit. She picked up the chips again and sat on the sofa to eat while watching TV. Rong Qian sat on the sofa and could no longer stand the scary things on TV. Coupled with the sound of potato chips being eaten . He gritted his teeth.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t expect him to chase her away. She immediately turned around and said matter-of-factly,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you ask me to stay and take care of you?¡± ¡°Yes, take care of me!¡± Rong Qian continued to grind his teeth. Suddenly, he grabbed the remote control and paused everything on the TV.¡±My fever has already subsided, so you don¡¯t have to take care of me. Get lost!¡± ¡°What do you mean? Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing it?¡± Anhao snatched the remote control back unhappily and continued to play the horror movie. When the sound of the horror movie was heard again, Rong Qian suddenly closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa with a defeated face. He rolled his eyes at him and said,¡±I¡¯m in the middle of an exciting show. Don¡¯t even think about watching me leave! This is only the first disc. I¡¯ll take out four discs and wait until I finish watching all the horror movies on these four discs!¡± Rong Qian was almost angered by her words. He suddenly got up and staggered back to the bedroom. Anhao thought that he was scared away, so she didn¡¯t care about him. Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t die after the fever subsided. He could sleep wherever he wanted. Not long after, Rong Qian walked out again and sat down on the sofa with a heroic expression. At the same time, he picked up an eye mask and headphones and put them on. Anhao turned to look at his equipment and the corners of her mouth twitched. ¡°If you¡¯re scared, go back to your bedroom and sleep. Why did you come here?¡± ¡°I was afraid that you would be scared out of your mind.¡±Rong Qian¡¯s tone was full of resentment. Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Isn¡¯t it just a horror movie? It¡¯s not real. Look at how scared you are. You¡¯re such a useless man.¡±¡± ¡°How is this an ordinary horror movie? This was clearly one of the top ten horror films that had been banned overseas! Do you think I¡¯m so ignorant? Anyone who sees this kind of thing will lose their appetite, not to mention that I¡¯m still a patient! Patient! Patient, do you understand?!¡± Rong Qian stood up with his blindfold on and argued with her directly because he could not see everything on the screen. Anhao glanced at him and suddenly reached out to take off his blindfold. Rong Qian instantly saw the scene of ghosts eating ghosts and people eating people on TV. His face turned pale again and he grabbed the blindfold and put it back on. Anhao laughed.¡± Only a horror film that has been banned can be called a real horror film. It¡¯s exciting enough.¡±¡± Rong Qian sat next to her speechlessly. He heard her continue to eat apples and chips with a good appetite until the whole horror movie was over. Taking advantage of the silence in the room, he suddenly took off his blindfold and asked with his eyes that were swollen and sleepy from the blindfold,¡±Gu Anhao, don¡¯t tell me you have nowhere else to go tonight?¡± The sound of her eating potato chips suddenly stopped. Anhao paused for a few seconds before stuffing the potato chips into her mouth and chewing slowly. After a while, she continued to eat at her usual speed. Rong Qian¡¯s machine was very smart. She didn¡¯t need to change the disc. She had put all four discs in, and the second disc would automatically play. So the TV screen only darkened for a few minutes before it continued to play the second horror movie. However, no matter how bloody the scene was, Rong Qian did not see it. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at Anhao who continued to eat potato chips as if nothing had happened. It was only when the potato chips bag in Anhao¡¯s hand was suddenly taken away that she looked at him strangely.¡±¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Why were you outside tonight? You still reek of alcohol. Even after taking a shower, you still reek of alcohol. It looks like you¡¯ve drunk a lot, and the alcohol content is definitely not low. You didn¡¯t look too good when you came just now. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She reached out to grab the chips back, but Rong Qian didn¡¯t give it to her. She glared at him and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t eat it, then give it to me! Since she was a patient, why couldn¡¯t she just go back to her bedroom and sleep? Let me watch alone!¡± ¡°So you really have nowhere to go tonight?¡±Rong Qian raised his eyebrows. Anhao picked up the fruit knife on the table and started to peel another apple. She stared at the screen while peeling, not paying attention to Rong Qian¡¯s words at all. When Rong Qian suddenly came over and snatched the fruit knife from her hand, she suddenly raised the knife and pointed it at him.¡±If you dare to ask again, believe it or not, I¡¯ll let you have a taste of being cut by a fruit knife!¡± Rong Qian smiled. He could tell that this woman must have been really stimulated. He stopped provoking her and only said lightly,¡±Zuo Hancheng called just now, and I answered.¡± Anhao, who was about to continue peeling the apple, paused and suddenly turned to look at him.¡±¡±You accepted?¡± Rong Qian turned his head and pointed at the bag she had thrown beside the coffee table. The phone kept ringing and vibrating.¡± ¡°Why did you answer my call?¡± Anhao threw the apple and fruit knife on the table and pulled out a wet towel to wipe her hands. She stood up and picked up her bag unhappily. When she took out her phone, she realized that there were no more calls from Zuo Hancheng. However, she did see the call that was picked up an hour and a half ago in the call log. She immediately turned to look at Rong Qian with an ugly expression, only to see Rong Qian sitting on the sofa without moving and looking at her with raised eyebrows. ¡°Do you know that once you pick up the phone, he will be able to find you very quickly!¡±Anhao wanted to smash her phone on his head. This bastard! Chapter 735 - Chapter 735: Intense in the Car (3) Chapter 735: Intense in the Car (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It¡¯s precisely because I know that that¡¯s why I accepted it.¡±His expression was calm. Anhao immediately looked at him as if he was a monster, then looked down at the phone in her hand. There were more than 20 missed calls from Zuo Hancheng in the call log, and the last call log was the one that Rong Qian picked up. In the next hour and a half, Zuo Hancheng did not call again. ¡°What do you mean you picked up because you knew?¡±Anhao glanced at him again. Rong Qian laughed.¡± Gu Anhao, don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know you. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you drank too much tonight and your mind wasn¡¯t clear, plus you might really have nowhere else to go, you wouldn¡¯t have come to my place even if I beat you to death.¡±¡± Wasn¡¯t she just not clear-headed? Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t care even if he was burned to death. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, but she sat back down on the sofa with a displeased expression. ¡°Zuo Hancheng wouldn¡¯t let you drink for no reason, and he wouldn¡¯t let you leave alone after drinking. There are more than twenty missed calls on your phone, twenty of which were from him, and three of which were from me. You didn¡¯t answer Zuo Hancheng¡¯s call, so there must be something going on. You, Gu Anhao, are naturally sensitive, and you¡¯re especially good when you¡¯re good, but once you feel that you¡¯re about to be hurt, you¡¯ll be like a spring that bounces everything away and tries your best to hide as far away as possible.¡± Anhao immediately sneered,¡±You¡¯re talking as if you know me well.¡±¡± ¡°Because I understand, I don¡¯t plan to let you stay with me for the whole night. Besides, whether I answer this call or not, he will definitely find you tonight. Although I¡¯m not convinced, I believe that if you watch a horror movie at my place tonight until dawn, he will also drive in the city until dawn. Even if he uses all means, he will not let you have any possibility of going missing or being in danger.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t speak. The TV was still showing the bloody scene of the female ghost and all kinds of strange and scary sounds. Rong Qian picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. The silence in the room made the boiling emotions in Anhao¡¯s heart start to clamor non-stop. She was suddenly afraid that Zuo Hancheng would come to look for her. It would be good if she had gone somewhere else, but she was at Rong Qian¡¯s place! Seeing Anhao suddenly pick up her phone and was about to turn it off, Rong Qian raised his eyebrows. However, Anhao¡¯s hand had only stayed on the power off button for two seconds, and before she could turn it off, the phone suddenly vibrated again in her hand. When she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number on the screen, Anhao was so shocked that she almost threw her phone to the ground. She quickly grabbed her phone and stared at the number on the screen. Then, she turned to look at Rong Qian, who was overjoyed. Seeing that the expression on her face was much scarier than when she was watching a horror movie, Rong Qian laughed. His eyes were obviously saying that she deserved it. ¡°What should we do? He called me!¡± Anhao stared at the phone screen and didn¡¯t dare to answer it. Suddenly, she began to regret how she had come to Rongqian¡¯s place! Even if she felt that she had nowhere else to go, she could still go to a hotel! What was wrong with her to come to Rong Qian¡¯s place? ¡°What else can we do? Answer it!¡± Rong Qian continued to laugh as he leaned back on the sofa and looked at her frightened expression, which was much more interesting than the horror movie just now.¡±Quickly answer it!¡± ¡°Take your head! It¡¯s all your fault. Why are you having a fever in the middle of the night? Why are you calling me?¡±Anhao glared at him angrily.¡±¡±I¡¯m going to die because of you!¡± Rong Qian shrugged his shoulders indifferently and did not refute her unreasonable behavior. He could not reason with a woman who did not react to such a scary horror movie and was furious when she received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s call. Anhao heaved a sigh of relief when her phone stopped vibrating. However, her phone started vibrating again after a few seconds. She was so scared that she almost jumped up and pretended to be affectionate. She stared at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number on the screen and had no choice but to turn around and walk to the window. She took a deep breath and thought about what she should say after she picked up the phone. She said that she just drank too much and felt uncomfortable and wanted to come out for a walk? In the end, she walked to Rong Qian¡¯s place? Or did she feel uncomfortable because of Bai Weiwei and came to Rong Qian for comfort? Of course, it couldn¡¯t be true! However, it was obvious to everyone that she had run to another man¡¯s house to seek comfort! Anhao¡¯s hand was numb from the shock. She picked up the phone and slowly placed it beside her ear.¡±Hello .¡± ¡°Come out.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was so cold that it was as if he could hear the sound of ice shards freezing over the phone. Anhao was stunned for a long time before she realized what he meant. She quickly lowered her head and leaned against the window to look downstairs. Sure enough, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s black SUV parked outside the apartment building. Her heart skipped a beat. From this distance, she could only see the car parked downstairs, but she couldn¡¯t see it clearly. She held the phone tightly and wanted to explain, but the uncomfortable feeling still lingered in her heart. She stood by the window and had no intention of going downstairs to see him. However, it had been almost two hours since Rong Qian received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s call. Could it be that he had already arrived here and was waiting for her to go down? If she hadn¡¯t found a few horror movies to kill time, she would have left immediately after giving Rong Qian the medicine. However, she was watching a horror movie just now, so time passed . On the other end of the phone, Zuo Hancheng did not say another word. Anhao did not say anything either. She just held the phone and could hear the silence of the night on the other end of the phone. The phone did not hang up. ¡°Rong Qian has a fever, so I came to see him .¡± Anhao thought about it for a long time before she spoke. However, she regretted it the moment she said this clumsy excuse. Wasn¡¯t this the same as the three hundred taels of silver here? ¡°Do you want me to pick you up?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold, yet strangely calm. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go down myself.¡± Anhao hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She looked down at the black SUV outside the window and saw Rong Qian looking at her with a faint smile. ¡°I¡¯m really going to die because of you!¡± She glared at him. Rong Qian raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±If it weren¡¯t for my parents ¡®eagerness to enter the business world in the country, and the fact that I still need too many connections and resources to expand in the country, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to go head-on with Zuo Hancheng. Otherwise, do you think I would have given him face?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself,¡± Only now do you remember that I¡¯m the heir of the Rong family?¡± Where did all those bold words go?¡± Rong Qian sighed.¡± I had no choice. My dad called me a few days ago and lectured me. Otherwise, why do you think I suddenly fell ill?¡± It was all because of my dad.¡± Chapter 736 - Chapter 736: Intense in the Car (4) Chapter 736: Intense in the Car (4) Translator: 549690339 How promising! Anhao rolled her eyes at him, picked up her bag, and left. If she didn¡¯t know that she was in the wrong, she wouldn¡¯t have gone down to face Zuo Hancheng¡¯s storm. She was wondering why she had to drink the wine that Director Xue and the others had advised her to drink. She shouldn¡¯t have really gone drinking because she was so upset, and there probably wouldn¡¯t have been so many problems. She did not know how long Zuo Hancheng had been waiting downstairs, but Anhao felt her scalp go numb after she entered the elevator. The door was closed from the outside. After Anhao left, Rong Qian silently looked at the dark TV screen. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. The female ghost on the screen was looking at him with her dark eyes, as if she was about to climb out of the TV . When she went downstairs, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car parked not far from the entrance. The streetlights in the neighborhood elongated the figure standing beside the car. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was actually standing by the car waiting for her, Anhao paused for a moment. She quietly abandoned the unpleasant feeling in her heart and walked over. When she walked up to Zuo Hancheng, Anhao¡¯s mind was blank. She only held her bag tightly and looked up at him. Zuo Hancheng was still wearing the same iron-gray suit he wore today. It was tailored to fit him and was made of a material that ordinary people could not afford to wear. Even the shirt inside was not something that ordinary people would easily dare to wear, let alone a suit. Zuo Hancheng was silent, cold, and stern. He was like a hero who had just woken up. His entire body was filled with a sense of oppression that made it difficult for her to breathe. She had walked from the door to him for more than twenty steps, and he had not said a word. However, he stood beside the car and under the street lamp. The long shadow that was dragged by the street lamp made Anhao feel as if her throat was grabbed by something invisible, and she felt suffocated. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to run out. I¡¯m sorry that you¡¯ve been looking for me for so long.¡±Anhao spoke, but her voice didn¡¯t sound like hers. When she looked up, she saw the coldness and sharpness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. She also noticed that his expression seemed to be filled with coldness, unlike his usual gentle and elegant self. The gentleness and patience she was used to, the tolerance and indulgence she was familiar with, seemed to have disappeared in an instant. His gaze was also unfamiliar to her. Anhao instinctively felt that danger was approaching, and she instinctively took a step back. However, just as she moved, Zuo Hancheng, who was one step ahead of her, suddenly opened the car door behind her. ¡°Get in the car.¡± His tone was cold and sharp as if he was talking to someone who had nothing to do with him. Anhao opened her mouth and subconsciously wanted to explain why she had secretly left and why she had come to Rong Qian¡¯s place. However, the words that were about to come out of her mouth met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fierce eyes. She clenched her hands tightly on her bag and could not say anything. She glanced at the car behind him and felt an unbearable pressure on her chest. She still felt that although Zuo Hancheng looked silent, he was really too dangerous. She refused to get into the car and took another step back. Seeing her retreating, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze fell on her face.¡±¡±Let me carry you up? Or should I carry you up?¡± ¡± Zuo Hancheng, I think the two of us should have a good talk. I admit that I was the one who suddenly ran out of the entertainment city tonight ¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Before Anhao could finish her words, Zuo Hancheng had already slammed the door shut. Anhao was shocked. She really did not know what Zuo Hancheng would do to her in the next second. She knew that he had always been generous and indulgent to her, and she knew that he might not hurt her, but still He wanted to take another step back. However, just as she was about to step back, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in front of her. Just as Anhao was still in shock, he suddenly grabbed her waist and brought her to the car in a domineering manner. He opened the back door and forcefully sent her in. Anhao stumbled into the car, because the space behind her is very big, so Zuo Hancheng is about to get into the car, at the same time she quickly turned around and occupied the place beside the car door, her eyes resolutely looking at him: ¡°What are you doing?¡± Seeing the defensive and resistant look in her eyes, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze fell on her face.¡±¡±What do you think I want to do?¡± Anhao¡¯s movements froze for a moment, but her hands were still firmly pressed on both sides of the door to prevent him from entering.¡±¡±Either I get out of the car or you go to the front ¡± At least, she did not want to be burned by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s anger in the car right below Rong Qian¡¯s house. The determination and resistance in Anhao¡¯s eyes made Zuo Hancheng regain some of his rationality, but it was only a little. He looked at her coldly and suddenly closed the car door. Seeing the car door slammed heavily in front of her, Anhao let out a sigh of relief. However, when Zuo Hancheng walked around the car and opened the driver¡¯s door to get into the car, she looked at his back with her body tensed up again. The SUV sped out of the area of Shangtai Apartments in the dark. Although it was already late at night and there were very few cars on the road, she felt as if all the blood in her body was about to jump out of her pores when she saw Zuo Hancheng driving over 120 on the city road. ¡°You, you drive slower.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t stand the speed of the car and said,¡±¡± This isn¡¯t the highway. Don¡¯t drive so fast.¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her, but Anhao still remembered the car accident, so she held onto the hidden shockproof handrail above the car window tightly. She dared not say that she was afraid of the speed of the car, but although Zuo Hancheng did not respond, he saw her leaning against the car door in the rearview mirror, and her face turned even paler. The car gradually slowed down, but it still maintained a speed of close to 100, speeding away like an arrow in the colorful night. The car finally slowed down at a red light intersection. Anhao heaved a sigh of relief when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice suddenly sounded in the car. ¡°Why did you suddenly leave without saying a word?¡± Anhao put her hand down from the car door and hesitated for a moment before telling the truth,¡±¡±I¡¯m considering whether the Bai family will threaten the future development of Shengling Group in the country because of me. I¡¯m also considering whether I should continue to occupy this position by your side . I¡¯m considering whether a child who was abandoned by the An family and even unknown to the elders of the An family is qualified to stand by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for the rest of his life ¡± ¡°So you left without a word? Go find Rong Qian?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were so sharp that Anhao was stunned for a moment. The moment she raised her head, she saw that the chair behind Zuo Hancheng had suddenly fallen in her direction. Chapter 737 - Chapter 737: Intense, Inside the Car (5) Chapter 737: Intense, Inside the Car (5) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked at the seat that was falling towards her in shock. Then, she suddenly looked up at Zuo Hancheng, who had parked the car by the roadside. ¡°You ¡± Before she could say anything, the man in the driver¡¯s seat suddenly pulled her over. Although Anhao was prepared, she did not expect his actions to be so sudden. She fell heavily onto the seat behind him. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand had firmly pressed down on her struggling body. His other hand grabbed the back of her neck and forced her to raise her head and lower her head. His strong and domineering kiss landed heavily on her lips that were slightly open due to shock. Anhao looked at the fire in his eyes when he kissed her heavily, as if danger was approaching. She quickly raised her hand and pushed him hard, but she couldn¡¯t move him at all. Instead, because of her struggle, her legs were forcefully pressed down by his strong and powerful legs. Her hands were suddenly firmly restrained by him. Anhao tried to break free from his lips with a silent moan. When she was kissed until she could barely breathe, she simply bit him. Zuo Hancheng has no reason to resist, resist, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite. However, this Zuo Hancheng made Anhao panic. He was too dangerous, too bewitching, and she could not resist him at all. She desperately wanted to turn her head away, but she could not. She bit him with all her might. The taste on her lips began to mix with the blood and blood. Zuo Hancheng suddenly bit her back. Although he did not really bite her lips, it still made Anhao tremble in pain. On one hand, it was pain, and on the other hand, it was panic. ¡°Oh . Left Mm . No, no, no. Don¡¯t .¡± The harder she struggled, the harder Zuo Hancheng¡¯s grip on her waist became. The harder she bit him, the harder he bit back. Their lips and tongues were bleeding. He turned to the wound on her lips and sucked the blood that was mixed with their scent. Anhao felt as if she was about to be completely rubbed into his body. She felt as if all the blood in her body was about to melt into his bones and blood as he sucked and kissed her. ¡°Oh . It hurts .¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t push him away at all. She struggled to break free with her hands and started to hammer his shoulders hard, but her legs couldn¡¯t break free from his legs. The black SUV was on the side of the road in the dark, and almost no one noticed it. However, Anhao could still hear the occasional passing car not far away. Every time she passed a car, the blood in her body almost froze. Zuo Hancheng paused when Anhao took the opportunity to turn her head away from him. Both of them were panting, but Anhao was almost out of breath. Zuo Hancheng was still able to regulate his breathing easily. She suddenly turned and glared at him angrily. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were also cold as he watched her panting heavily under him. His eyes were dark and filled with coldness and anger. Anhao glared at him. Even though their faces were so close to each other, even if she could almost touch the tip of his nose with just a slight movement, her eyes were filled with anger. ¡°Zuo Hancheng! What right do you have to treat me like this!¡± Anhao was so angry that her voice was trembling. He looked at her coldly, still restraining her body. It was dark in the car, but the streetlights outside the car barely shone in, bringing a faint light, allowing them to barely see each other¡¯s faces. ¡°Why should I treat you like this?¡± Zuo Hancheng narrowed his eyes coldly.¡± Anhao was at a loss for words for a moment, but she looked at the man who was forcefully suppressing her. The anger in her heart had not subsided, and she only said with a furious expression,¡±It¡¯s because you¡¯re too good to me that I don¡¯t want to be the most useless character in your life!¡± ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t want to be calculative because of another woman! I know how good you are to me, but Bai Weiwei and the Bai family behind her are indeed a threat to the future development of your company. I don¡¯t want to be a stumbling block for you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m just a child who would rather fake her own mother¡¯s death than abandon her. I¡¯m just a child that the An family doesn¡¯t know about!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her coldly, his voice cold and determined.¡±¡±I¡¯ll take you to America and accompany you back to the Andersons.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes reddened.¡± She doesn¡¯t want me at all. A person who I¡¯ve called ¡®Mom¡¯ for fourteen years doesn¡¯t want me. Do you think those people who never knew about my existence will admit my existence?¡± So what if they admitted it! Admitting was not the same as accepting! I¡¯m not like Bai Weiwei, who¡¯s loved by her parents. Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s beneath you to keep me by your side?!¡± Anhao became more agitated as she spoke. Zuo Hancheng looked at her agitated and resentful expression and said calmly,¡±¡±The apple of my eye or the apple of my heart, Gu Anhao, which one do you want?¡± Anhao¡¯s breathing instantly stopped as she looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s anger that was still hidden under his calm surface. ¡°You¡¯ve already walked into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s life. You¡¯re the one standing in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart. Why should you care about who you are? What else do you want me to do to you?¡± Zuo Hancheng held her wrist tightly and pressed her body against hers. His eyes were filled with fire.¡±Just because of such a small matter, you came out drunk and went to look for Rong Qian? The heart that you had painstakingly grown was dug out by you again, right?!¡± ¡°I went to Rong Qian¡¯s place because .¡± Anhao wanted to explain, but when she saw the burning anger in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, she suddenly paused and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Forget it.¡± However, she did not know that her words would trigger all the self-control of a man with superior rationality. Just as Anhao was about to push him away again, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his hand and pressed the main control button beside the car door. The car, which was already very sealed, instantly made a soft sound. Before she could react, she suddenly felt as if her waist was about to be broken by him. When he suddenly pushed her heavily into the spacious seat at the back of the car, she saw from the corner of her eyes that all the windows had instantly raised a barrier, covering everything in the car so that no one could peek. Sensing his intention, Anhao hurriedly raised her hand to push him away so that she could turn around and escape. However, he suddenly exerted a force on her. Anhao wanted to turn her body to the side to avoid it, but his arm had already passed through her waist and forcefully pulled her back. At the same time, he pressed her between the seat and the car door. Chapter 738 - Chapter 738 Intense, Inside the Car (6) Chapter 738 Intense, Inside the Car (6) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t do anything rash!¡± Anhao realized that he was really angry and panicked. However, as soon as she finished speaking, his hand forcefully pulled her hand away from her chest. ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re still capable!¡±Zuo Hancheng completely ignored the fact that she had raised her hand to protect her chest again and squeezed between her legs. Anhao would not have resisted his closeness. It was not like they had not done it before, but that did not mean that she could accept him doing it right here and now! When his hand suddenly grabbed the back of her head and forced her to kiss him deeply and heavily, Anhao struggled violently under his body. She tried her best to break free from his restraint and raised her hand to push him away from his shoulder. She looked up at the fire in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and felt as if her heart was about to be burned out by the fire in his eyes. ¡± The Bai family is not an ordinary politician. They are from Beijing. Director Bai is the leader of China Y. If they were just a small character, I wouldn¡¯t have thought so much about it. Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m not being sensitive, and I¡¯m not messing around. I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ve been protecting me too much and not letting me see the battles and bloodshed outside. You¡¯ve surrounded me and let me enjoy all your good things. I don¡¯t know how much pressure you have to bear in order to protect me.¡± She puffed up her breath and looked into his eyes that were still burning with anger.¡±I know that I did it wrong. I regretted it when I sobered up just now, but the logic is still the same. I really don¡¯t want Shengling Group, which you single-handedly supported in the country, to be attacked by others.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still on the back of her head, but his eyes were like ice and fire.¡±¡±Continue.¡± An Hao looked into his eyes, only to find that his eyes were as dark as an abyss that she could not see to the bottom. She did not know what he was thinking now, and she did not know if he could feel the pressure in her heart after hearing her words. She really wasn¡¯t being sensitive, nor was she fooling around, so she didn¡¯t feel that she was in the wrong. It was just that she was not feeling well, so she came out for a walk and made him worry. She was indeed wrong about this. Later, she went to Rong Qian¡¯s place purely by chance, but this did not mean that she could completely admit her mistake and let him punish her like this. However, under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s threatening gaze, Anhao swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She closed her eyes and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ve already said what I need to say. Any more can only be considered a tender feeling.¡± ¡°You¡¯re indeed very delicate now.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said in a lukewarm tone. At the same time, he let go of the back of her head and pulled his hand away from her waist. Anhao suddenly opened her eyes and glared angrily at Zuo Hancheng, whose eyes were filled with mockery. He was clearly scolding her just now. Anhao was furious and wanted to escape from his body when he got up. However, just as she was about to move, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze fell on her face again. She held her breath and looked at the look in his eyes that she could not understand. It was too vast and too deep. She did not know what he was thinking. Anhao instinctively raised her hand and pulled up her collar that had been pulled up. Seeing her evasive attitude, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze darkened. Under his silent and heavy gaze, Anhao bit her lip.¡±¡±Actually ¡± However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly pressed against her again. Anhao¡¯s voice was stuck in her throat. She looked at Zuo Hancheng who suddenly attacked her again in shock. The panic in her eyes had not subsided when his kiss landed accurately on her lips. This time, it was not as fierce as before, as if it wanted to bite her into pieces and swallow her alive. However, it was so solemn and determined that Anhao¡¯s heart missed a few beats. When Zuo Hancheng wrapped his hand around her neck again and held the back of her head firmly, forcing her to respond, Anhao pursed her lips tightly and refused to move. They were in the car. He was on the verge of anger just now, but now that he had clearly calmed down, he still had to do this. Could he really be planning to Even though the windows were closed and no one could see inside, Anhao still couldn¡¯t believe it and couldn¡¯t cooperate. The SUV looked luxurious yet low-key. There was a lot of space in the back seat, and even a tall man like Zuo Hancheng would not feel that the space was small and need to bend his body. Even if two people were in the back seat, it would not feel crowded. However, Anhao was squeezed into the corner of the seat and could not break free. She refused to cooperate, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still firmly locked on the back of her head, not allowing her to escape at all. When Anhao was forced to open her mouth to receive his kiss, she wanted to bite him again. Zuo Hancheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp light shot out from his eyes that were close to hers. The fire in his eyes made Anhao feel as if she had pulled out the beard of a tiger that had been trying hard to suppress its anger. She thought that Zuo Hancheng had just calmed down, but she did not expect that his restraint and forbearance would suddenly be exhausted at this moment. This time, she understood his gaze. Anhao¡¯s face turned pale instantly and she raised her hand to push him away, but Zuo Hancheng looked down at her. No matter how hard she pushed and hit him, she could not move him at all. The fire and sharpness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes gradually gathered into a deep ocean, like the raging waves of the calm sea in a storm. Anhao felt that her whole body was tense because of his gaze and she instinctively wanted to beg for mercy,¡±¡±Left .¡± However, her voice was suddenly forced back by his heavy kiss as she lowered her head. Anhao let out a ¡± Wu Wu ¡± sound, and her hands that were pushing between the two of them were suddenly lifted and pressed forcefully on the top of her head. Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly turned slightly red as she tried hard to turn her head away. Zuo Hancheng held her hands above her head with one hand and unbuttoned her shirt with the other. Even when she felt a chill in front of her, Anhao still couldn¡¯t break free from his hand. Her eyes were getting redder and redder, and the moment his kiss landed on her neck domineeringly and forcefully, she said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t do this ¡± She had never thought that she would be in a car The car shook. Just thinking about it made her feel like her blood was burning from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. She could not bear it, and she did not dare to bear it. There was a pleading look in her eyes, but Zuo Hancheng did not look at her and completely ignored her resistance and rejection. Chapter 739 - Chapter 739 Intense in the Car (7) Chapter 739 Intense in the Car (7) Translator: 549690339 It was only when Anhao felt that her lower body barrier had been removed by him that she immediately shrunk her body to avoid his approach. She took the time to curse,¡±Zuo Hancheng, you bastard!¡± The more she scolded him, the more determined his actions became until the back button of Anhao¡¯s underwear suddenly opened. The relaxation and coldness in front of her chest made her instantly lose her sense of security. Anhao was instantly forced to tears by him. She didn¡¯t believe that Zuo Hancheng could treat her like this, but three years ago in that small hotel in T City, he had been angered once. It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t do it, but he had always been too sympathetic to her, so he had never been particularly domineering towards her. Anhao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave when she thought of the scene in the small hotel. She resisted and struggled, but her hands were above her head and she could not move. She could only twist her body under his body like a dying fish. The more she twisted, the darker Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes became. The kiss on her lips became deeper and deeper. Anhao could not breathe smoothly and could not move. She did not know whether she had angered him by running away or because of Rong Qian. However, Zuo Hancheng, who was on the verge of anger, made her too afraid. She had already taken off all her clothes except for her underwear, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes were still on him, and there did not seem to be a single wrinkle on him. Her embarrassment, her anger, his sobriety, and his punishment were too obvious! Anhao¡¯s eyes were red with shame and anger. Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes and she sobbed even more aggrievedly. Zuo Hancheng finally stopped his almost endless movements. Anhao took advantage of the moment when he stopped and curled up slightly under him. She carefully protected her underwear that he had yet to take off and sobbed,¡±Can we not do it in the car ¡± The anger in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes had yet to subside. He looked down at the little girl who was finally willing to cry in front of him. Anhao¡¯s cries became more and more uncontrollable. She felt so wronged that it was as if the world was about to change color. Finally, she let herself cry out under him. Countless grievances forced her to hold on to her dignity and cry in front of him. She sobbed as she cried,¡±Left . Left Cold . City . You bully . People . Too . Too much . Wu .¡± The veins on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead throbbed as he looked at Anhao, who seemed to have been bullied by him. Then, he looked at her large drops of tears and gritted his teeth.¡±Gu Anhao, are you being reasonable? When have I ever bullied you?¡± ¡°Anyway Anyway .¡± Anhao¡¯s face was full of grievance as she cried. She whimpered under his body and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re bullying me right now Always . Don¡¯t tell . A reasonable person It¡¯s you .¡± As she spoke, she glared at him with her red eyes.¡±It¡¯s not like I came out with you to have an affair . Why did you do this to me in the car You want to . What if . It was really here To me What did you do to me Then . Then . How am I going to face it in the future Wu . How to face You . This car of yours ¡± The veins on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s forehead throbbed violently again. He was about to go berserk as he stared at her aggrieved expression, as if the whole world owed her. The more Anhao spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She was clearly the one who was angered by someone else¡¯s words and ran out alone before she even woke up. She even ran to Rong Qian¡¯s house for no reason. He hadn¡¯t cried yet, but she was crying so hard! ¡°Wu ¡± The more Anhao cried, the louder she became. No matter how good the car¡¯s soundproofing was, her cries would eventually be heard by the passing cars. Zuo Hancheng looked at her as she curled up under him and cried so hard that she was out of breath. He finally closed his eyes and could not take it anymore. He gritted his teeth and scolded,¡±Stop crying! Do you want to drown the car?¡± ¡± Waaaaaaah!¡± Anhao started crying again as soon as he finished speaking. Tears kept rolling down from the corners of her eyes. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she had accumulated too many tears, but no matter how much she cried, it wouldn¡¯t stop. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s head was still hurting from her crying. Seeing that she was really going to cry all night and drown his car, he resisted the urge to tear her apart. He stood up abruptly and threw his suit jacket on her at the same time. Anhao quickly covered herself with her coat with one hand while she covered her eyes with the other and cried,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng. I don¡¯t want to live with you anymore! You bully me every day ¡± Zuo Hancheng sat beside her and watched her cry. In the end, he raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. After he could not take it anymore, he could only sigh and laugh. Usually, she wouldn¡¯t even shed a single tear in front of him. If she really cried, the world would change and he would be caught off guard. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. If you continue crying, your throat will go hoarse.¡±Zuo Hancheng sighed. Anhao continued to cry and said,¡±¡± You¡¯re bullying me.¡± ¡± Fine, I bullied you.¡± Anhao¡¯s cries gradually became softer. She put her hands down from her swollen eyes and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was helpless against her crying, with a wronged expression.¡±Today, I Tonight, he really wasn¡¯t trying to escape! I just wanted to come out . Through . Take a breath, and then . And then I suddenly received a phone call from Rong Qian. He said that he had a fever of 40 degrees and no one cared about him. I went over in a moment of confusion. I didn¡¯t . I didn¡¯t do anything wrong to go out and find some wild man!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not wrong.¡± Anhao pursed her lips and continued to sob as she looked at him.¡±Zuo Hancheng, what¡¯s with your expression? Are you not convinced?¡± ¡± ¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t say anything, Anhao felt that the atmosphere was about right, so she slowly sat up and wrapped his suit jacket around her body. With red eyes, she said,¡±¡±Can you not treat me like that in the car just now ¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and said,¡± Okay, it¡¯s not in the car.¡± Anhao suddenly understood the hidden meaning behind his words and instantly lost her temper. Anyway, he had already started to give in to her, so she continued,¡±What I mean is that you can¡¯t treat me today .¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes shone with the same fiery light as before. Anhao¡¯s voice suddenly became sluggish. Her eyes were already red and swollen, and she glared back at him with her red and swollen eyes.¡±I¡¯m negotiating with you!¡± ¡°What conditions?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not act according to the script that she had thought he would. He only looked at her coldly and said,¡±¡±I only promised not to be in the car.¡± Chapter 740 - Chapter 740: Intense in the Car (8) Chapter 740: Intense in the Car (8) Translator: 549690339 Anhao looked at him in disbelief. Zuo Hancheng did not care about her crying expression after he said that. He opened the car door and got out of the car. The cold wind from the rainy night blew in. Anhao quickly leaned against the corner of the backseat and wrapped her suit jacket around herself. In an instant, the driver¡¯s door opened again, Zuo Hancheng returned to the driver¡¯s seat, the seat was also re-positioned at the same time, Anhao saw all this, quietly relieved, carefully pulled the suit jacket on her body, while Zuo Hancheng had driven the car back into the road, she quietly lowered her head to look for her own clothes. Her bra had fallen under the car seat and could not be worn anymore. The sturdy material of the sportswear had already cracked in the middle of the collar. So, how much anger did Zuo Hancheng have to endure to stop his sexual assault on her? Anhao still looked at the torn sportswear with lingering fear. Then, she looked at the sweatpants in the corner and felt as if her entire body was drained of energy. She thought to herself that there was still some distance between them and Heng Hai Ming anyway. She calmed down for a while before putting on the clothes. Even if the clothes were torn, at least it could cover up. It was better than wearing only her underwear and being within his reach. However, Anhao was only paying attention to the clothes that she had dropped around her. She did not notice that Zuo Hancheng was not driving in the direction of Heng Hai City. When she looked out of the window and noticed where Zuo Hancheng was driving, her eyes widened in shock. This familiar street! This familiar path! Gilt Scenery Garden! How could she forget that Liu Jing Garden was not far from A High School? He actually drove straight to Liu Jing Garden! By the time she realized that she should put on her clothes, the car had already stopped. Zuo Hancheng got out of the car at the same time and walked to the back to open the car door at a speed that she did not expect. She saw Anhao still wrapped in his suit jacket and leaning against the corner with a blank expression. Anhao was embarrassed to death because she was not wearing any clothes, but Zuo Hancheng seemed to be very satisfied and just looked at her twice. ¡°What are you looking at? Close the door. I¡¯ll get out of the car after I get dressed!¡±She didn¡¯t have the time to ask him why he came to Liu Jing Garden. Of course, she knew the answer. Of course, because this place was the closest! ¡°Since you¡¯re not wearing it, you don¡¯t have to wear it.¡±Zuo Hancheng said meaningfully. Under Anhao¡¯s puzzled expression, he casually took out a thin blanket from the compartment under the seat. Anhao was still confused, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes seemed to be bewitching as he said,¡±¡±Come here.¡± Anhao looked at him and then at her suit jacket. She chose not to get close to him with a guarded expression and continued to huddle in the corner.¡±No one has lived in the Gilded Scenic Garden for so many years. Could it be that the inside is covered in dust now? Why don¡¯t we go back to Eternal Sea City?¡± At least she had time to put on her clothes on the way back. Zuo Hancheng stood by the car door and said,¡±¡±Come here.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, I haven¡¯t put on my clothes yet. How am I supposed to go over with you opening the car door?¡±Anhao looked conflicted. ¡°Who do you think I¡¯ll let see you naked?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was still bewitching and intimidating, but it also carried a determination that did not allow anyone to resist.¡±Come here.¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment. She didn¡¯t know what he meant and what he was doing with a thin blanket. She was clearly not wearing any clothes However, she still sat down. When she reached the car door and was about to speak, Zuo Hancheng suddenly leaned over and threw her suit jacket aside. Anhao was about to scream. Although he was standing beside her and it was dark outside, it was still a shocking feeling. In an instant, her body felt warm again. The thin blanket wrapped around her body smoothly, covering her from her shoulders to her knees tightly. Anhao instantly understood Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intentions.¡±¡±You¡¯re not going to let me get out of the car just like that, are you? I¡¯ll just wear my clothes ¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm had already passed through her knees and carried her out of the car. Anhao was so frightened that she quickly curled up in his arms and looked around in disbelief. Then, she looked at the closed car door.¡±Zuo Hancheng, you ¡± ¡°Shh, how many people do you want to see you like this?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her threateningly. Anhao instantly shut her mouth. She turned around and saw that he had parked his car at the roadside parking lot outside the Liujing Garden. She then looked in the direction of the Liujing Garden. Even though it was already late at night and there was no one outside, there were still people in the security room. If the people in the security room had not changed, they should still know them! Anhao was not wearing any clothes other than a pair of underpants. She was wrapped in a blanket and was carried into the room by Zuo Hancheng. Anhao could feel the hot blood rushing to her head. She thought of the women in ancient times who were waiting for the emperor¡¯s pleasure. They were all wrapped in blankets and sent to the emperor¡¯s bed after taking a shower. Thinking of this, she could not stand it anymore. When Zuo Hancheng carried her into the front door of Liu Jing Garden, she simply buried her face in his neck, not daring to let others see that her face was red to the ears. Even in the dark, under the streetlights of the neighborhood, no one could see how red her face was, but she did not dare to raise her head. There were indeed people in the security room who had noticed them, but Zuo Hancheng had the access card in the room, so no one could stop him. The security guard stood in front of the window and looked out carefully. When he recognized that it was Boss Zuo who used to live here, he looked curiously at the woman in his arms. Anyone would have their imagination run wild with this ambiguous scene. A few security guards in the security room began to discuss the identity of the woman in Boss Zuo¡¯s arms. Would the previous Mrs. Zuo never appear again? He had not returned to the house in Liujing Garden for three years. Now that he had brought such a woman back, it was probably time for a new mistress The discussion in the security room was intense, but Anhao felt as if she was about to be seen naked under the blanket. She felt insecure. When she approached the house that she had once lived in, Anhao¡¯s heart was beating wildly. She did not know how to describe the feeling of being food at the edge of a tiger¡¯s mouth because she was naked in his arms. She looked at the familiar surroundings in the dark night and whispered,¡±You clearly promised not to mess around with me tonight ¡± ¡°I promised not to be in the car.¡±Zuo Hancheng answered as if it was a matter of course. As soon as he finished speaking, the door in front of him opened. Chapter 741 - Chapter 741: Overindulgence Will Kill You!（1） Chapter 741: Overindulgence Will Kill You!£¨1£© Translator: 549690339 The moment the lights came on, Anhao turned her eyes away and tried to adapt to the bright lights. When she saw everything inside clearly, she only had one feeling. She felt as if everything that had happened in the past three years was just a dream. It was as if she had never left this place. It was as if she had just left the Gilded Scenic Garden yesterday and was back today. Nothing inside had changed. This included her habit of placing the two ceramic ornaments next to the television, her habit of placing the carpet under the sofa so that it would feel fluffy and comfortable under her feet, her habit of placing the pillows on both sides of the sofa neatly, and the few crystal glasses on the coffee table that were still placed in the corner of the coffee table as before Anhao¡¯s mind was completely attracted by everything that happened in her home from three years ago. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. Zuo Hancheng had already carried her in. She turned around and asked in surprise,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you stay at the city for three years? Why is the house so clean?¡± ¡°Every half a month, the professional cleaning staff of the Gilt Scenery Garden will come in and clean up. They will clean up all the places that will accumulate dust without changing any of the furnishings. Although I haven¡¯t been back for three years, I have never left this place behind.¡± As Zuo Hancheng answered, he carried Anhao, who was barely hanging on the thin blanket, towards the bedroom. Anhao snapped back to her senses and noticed that she was about to approach the bedroom. She still remembered the scene of her tying Zuo Hancheng to the bed in the bedroom. ¡± Well, Zuo Hancheng, we¡¯ve only returned after three years. Shouldn¡¯t I have a good time to reminisce about the past?¡± I haven¡¯t seen the bedroom on the second floor for a long time That¡¯s the first design that I¡¯ve made ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you to to to recall the past¡± Zuo Hancheng did not give her any chance to break free. When Anhao understood what he said and leaned into his arms with a red face, he kicked open the bedroom door and walked in. Anhao heard his almost violent actions and immediately looked up. However, the next moment, he kicked the door shut again. The lights in the bedroom were not switched on, but the curtains were not drawn. The moonlight shone into the large room through the gradually dispersing dark clouds. This familiar bedroom and familiar memories made Anhao unable to resist until Zuo Hancheng placed her on the bed. Anhao¡¯s body was wrapped in a thin blanket and she could not pull her hand out. She could only look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s aggressive actions in the dark with an innocent face like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. She was surprised by his madness and passion, but she had no time to think about it. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kisses gradually became more and more intense, as if he wanted to make up for all the indulgence and emptiness he had given her. (This paragraph has been reconciled.) Anhao had already sobered up a long time ago. She felt a little guilty and sad. She knew that Zuo Hancheng hated her for being willful and doing what she wanted. He hated her for being stubborn and stubborn. While Zuo Hancheng was giving her a chance to breathe, he did not continue to hold her hand. Instead, he raised one of her hands and wrapped it around her waist, while the other hand was raised and pressed against his lower abdomen. Anhao¡¯s hand trembled, but she didn¡¯t dodge. In the dark night, she raised her eyes and met his deep gaze. ¡°Help me untie it.¡± Chapter 742 - Chapter 742: Overindulgence Will Kill You!（2） Chapter 742: Overindulgence Will Kill You!£¨2£© Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s hand trembled, but she didn¡¯t dodge. In the dark night, she raised her eyes and met his deep gaze. ¡°Help me untie it.¡± Anhao grabbed his waist, but she couldn¡¯t exert any strength for a long time. She could feel the heat of his chest through the high-quality shirt. Just as Anhao was about to retract her hand, he held her hand again and moved it to the button of his shirt. Just like that, he held her hand and unbuttoned his shirt one by one. When there were only two pills left, Zuo Hancheng let go of her hand and said in the same bewitching voice as before,¡±Continue.¡± I don¡¯t know how much in the end, how expensive, how expensive, the shirt was unbuttoned in an instant. In an instant, their breathing, heartbeats, and gazes were all in a mess. Everything was in a mess. After three years of separation, Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually blurred. ¡°Anhao, be obedient Don¡¯t move .¡± His voice was low beside her ear. Anhao bit her lip shyly. She knew what he was going to do, so she closed her eyes and her eyelashes fluttered. She didn¡¯t say anything. (This paragraph has been reconciled .) She knew that Zuo Hancheng had driven the car back to Liu Jing Garden because he could not take it anymore. He did not even want to delay the journey back to Heng Hai Ming Capital. He had given her another round of indulgence when he did not want her in the car back then. She still remembered that she seemed to have owed him back then. Zuo Hancheng often threatened her to make her repay him tenfold or a hundredfold. Now that it had been so long, it couldn¡¯t be that it was going to become a thousandfold or ten-thousandfold After a long while, Anhao felt like she was going to die. She looked at the man on top of her with sweat dripping down her face. Her voice was so hoarse that she could not speak. She could only plead with a hoarse voice,¡±It¡¯s almost dawn Please let me go .¡± ¡°I was wrong I¡¯m wrong, so it¡¯s okay .¡± After an unknown amount of time, Anhao pleaded in a hoarse voice. She opened her eyes and looked at the man on top of her.¡±I will never look for Rong Qian again, I swear! Actually, I only went to his place to watch a horror movie ¡± Anhao¡¯s voice suddenly stopped because of his sudden fierceness. She did not understand why he was suddenly so fierce. Was it because she had mentioned another man¡¯s name at this time? Looking at the handsome man on his body, the sweat on his forehead slid down his straight nose bridge and condensed into crystal droplets under the light, dripping onto her face. Although Anhao didn¡¯t have the strength, she subconsciously raised her hand to hug his shoulder. She wanted to say that she had drunk too much yesterday, so she didn¡¯t think it through for a moment. She wanted to say a lot of apologies for making him worry again, but the words that were about to come out of her mouth were powerless. Although Anhao did not have the strength to move, the apology in her eyes was already so strong. Zuo Hancheng did not have the time to care about the girl¡¯s emotions of a ¡± married girl ¡°, but because of the softness in her eyes, the veins on his forehead almost popped out. He had originally planned to let her go, but he lost control and flipped her over, as if he wanted to imprison her under him for the rest of her life Anhao looked at the sky outside the window in a daze. She looked at the bright day outside the window and lamented that if Zuo Hancheng tormented her in such a way every day in the future, her life would probably be over . The night had passed, and the clear light of the day fell on the two of them In her daze, she did not know when Zuo Hancheng had let her go Chapter 743 - Chapter 743: Overindulgence Will Kill You!（3） Chapter 743: Overindulgence Will Kill You!£¨3£© Translator: 549690339 In her drowsy state, she did not know when Zuo Hancheng had let her go. Anhao lay weakly on the bed and fell asleep. She slept soundly, but because it was daytime, no matter how deep she slept, she was still easily woken up. In fact, she had only slept for two hours when she suddenly heard movements outside. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the pillow and blanket under her with a dazed expression. The familiar Elegant Grey, the familiar room, the familiar everything Anhao tried her best to wake herself up. She turned over and lay flat on the bed. The soreness in her body was even worse than the first time she experienced it. It was obvious how much of a beast Zuo Hancheng was last night. She reached out and touched her waist. It seemed that she had really recovered. Her waist actually did not feel anything wrong. At this moment, the sound from outside came closer. Anhao heard someone pressing the doorbell from outside. She immediately remembered that Zuo Hancheng had said yesterday that there would be regular cleaning staff coming in to clean the place. In other words, the cleaning staff must have the key to enter and exit the place at will. Could it be that the cleaning staff didn¡¯t know that they were back and went straight in? If he saw her lying on the bed Anhao quickly sat up as she thought about it, but she froze for a moment because of the soreness in her legs. She looked around at her clothes, but there were no clothes! Last night, she was carried back by that crazy man, Zuo Hancheng, wrapped in a thin blanket. There were no clothes at all! In the end, she had no choice but to lift the blanket. The faint red marks on her body showed that she had indulged herself last night. She raised her hands to protect her chest and endured the soreness in her legs that made her almost unable to stand up. She jogged to the closet in the bedroom. She remembered that she didn¡¯t take too many things with her before she left. There were still many of her old clothes here, but they were all newly bought and hadn¡¯t been worn for long. There were even some clothes that hadn¡¯t been removed from the tag. As soon as she opened the wardrobe, she could smell a faint fragrance coming from inside. The cleaning staff must have paid attention to the wardrobe to prevent the clothes from getting wet or dust from falling. Everything in the wardrobe was exactly the same as before, as if she had never left. Anhao looked at the clothes and quickly raised her hand to rummage through them for a while. She had quite a few clothes in the bedroom on the second floor, and there were only two pajamas and some simple clothes in the bedroom downstairs. The pajamas were all in winter and spring styles. It would be very hot to wear them now, so she picked up a loose short-sleeved white women¡¯s T-shirt. This was something she had bought but never worn. After all, she had not spent the summer in Liujing Garden before she left. The T-shirt was a semi-pajamas style that could be worn at home or outside without anyone finding it strange. After putting on her clothes, she quickly turned around and stood by the door to listen outside. She heard someone saying something to Zuo Hancheng,¡± Please take your time.¡± Anhao found it strange when she heard that. It was not until those people seemed to have walked out that she heard the sound of the door being closed that Anhao quietly opened the bedroom door a crack. She happened to see Zuo Hancheng walking towards the bedroom. Their eyes met through the crack of the door. Anhao felt her ears heat up when she thought about how he had tormented her until she was no longer herself. She closed the door immediately and turned around to jump back onto the bed to cover her head with the blanket to continue sleeping. The bedroom door was pushed open from the outside as soon as she jumped onto the bed. Zuo Hancheng saw that she was wearing the clothes that she had bought three years ago. However, because she had only put on a casual T-shirt, there was nothing underneath the clothes. The two small bumps on her chest looked seductive under the clothes. He looked at her as she was about to pull the blanket up and chuckled.¡±Not hungry? Get up and eat.¡± Anhao, who was about to cover her head with the blanket, stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±Were those people here to deliver food?¡± ¡°No one has lived here for three years. Even if someone cleaned it, it¡¯s impossible for someone to prepare food and all kinds of seasonings here every day. If you don¡¯t eat takeout, do you think I can cook for you now?¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and walked out of the bedroom with his back facing her.¡±¡±Come and eat something. You drank hard liquor last night and your stomach has been hurt. If you don¡¯t eat on time today, I¡¯m afraid your stomach will hurt for the whole day.¡± Speaking of which, her stomach was indeed a little uncomfortable. Although she had been tormented for the whole night and woke up after two hours of sleep, she did not feel hungry. However, after hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Anhao obediently got out of bed. When he had already walked out of the bedroom with his back to her, she carefully stood by the bed and lifted her legs to ease the soreness in her legs. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have noticed something and suddenly stopped in his tracks to look back at her. Anhao quickly put down her legs and tried her best to put on a calm expression. Anyway, as long as he didn¡¯t care about the fact that she was brainless enough to run to Rong Qian¡¯s house last night, she didn¡¯t want to think about anything else. After all, yesterday was too messy, too many things happened, and her ending was too tragic . Anhao slowly walked out of the bedroom with her sore legs due to last night¡¯s tragic and tragic ¡®sdaylights¡¯. When she reached the sofa in the living room, her eyes were still paying attention to the familiar environment around her. However, before she could even sigh, Zuo Hancheng gestured for her to eat. On the coffee table was the signature set meal of a seven-star hotel not far from Liu Jing Garden. Rather than calling it takeout, it was more accurate to say that Zuo Hancheng had specially ordered something she used to like to eat from the hotel and asked the waiter to send it over. Even the packaging of the takeout looked exquisite. Anhao picked up her chopsticks and looked at the coffee table, which was almost filled with her favorite food. It had been so long, but he still remembered her little hobbies. It would be a lie to say that he wasn¡¯t touched. In comparison, her lovable behavior last night when she went out to take a taxi for a quiet time was indeed asking for a beating. She was also quite heartless. Anhao picked up her chopsticks without saying a word. She was used to being lazy in front of Zuo Hancheng anyway. Even if she did not brush her teeth before breakfast, he would not think that her image would be tarnished. She had never had an image in front of him. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, she picked up another piece of enoki mushroom. Zuo Hancheng sat opposite her and ate with her, but he did not eat much. After that, he drank the water in the glass and watched as her appetite increased. ¡°Eat more.¡± When he put down the glass, he smiled deeply and looked at the ambiguous marks on her neck. Anhao raised her head and glanced at him.¡± ¡°Eat more so that you have the strength to continue.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.¡± Anhao was speechless. Bada- The chopsticks fell. Your sister! He still wanted to continue! Is he even human? Chapter 744 - Chapter 744 Overindulgence Will Kill You!（4） Chapter 744 Overindulgence Will Kill You!£¨4£© Translator: 549690339 Lying in the familiar bathtub, the feeling was indescribably comfortable. In her opinion, no matter how high-end the apartments were, they could not compare to the Liujing Garden that she was most familiar with. Although the market prices of these places were not much different, and the Gilt View Garden was actually just a simple double-level apartment, it could not be considered a luxurious villa in the rich district. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s low-key personality was also to her liking. If Zuo Hancheng¡¯s residence in A City was as big as the Zuo family¡¯s manor in the United States, with so many servants constantly calling him Young Master, Young Madam, President, or Madam, she probably would not be able to accept it. She had to distinguish between exaggerated novels and reality. Liu Jing Garden This was Liujing Garden Just like that, she gradually forgot about the time as she soaked in the bathtub. She leaned against the bathtub, half-asleep. Anyway, Zuo Hancheng was having an impromptu international video conference in the study at the moment, so she could have her own space to enjoy and reminisce. Just as Anhao was about to fall asleep in the bathtub, the sound of Zuo Hancheng answering a phone call came from outside the bathroom door. However, he was speaking in English when he answered the phone, so it was probably someone from overseas. Anhao listened for a while and did not get anything. She thought that he was busy and continued to lean lazily in the bathtub. Not long after, there was no movement outside. Then, there was a knock on the bathroom door.¡±How long do you want to bathe in there?¡± Anhao leaned back lazily and replied lazily,¡±¡±It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve had such a comfortable bath. Let me soak in it for a while longer ¡± ¡°You¡¯ll faint if you soak in the hot bath for too long. Are you waiting for me to carry you out?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes in the direction of the bathroom door when she heard the faint teasing in his voice. Could she say that she was just making up an excuse that she hadn¡¯t brushed her teeth, washed her face, or showered in the morning, so she ran into the bathroom to hide? Could she say that she would rather stay here for the whole day than go out to avoid his so-called ¡°continue¡±? If she continued, her life would be over! Anhao ignored him, but now she was thinking about the way Director Xue had stood in front of her at the entertainment city yesterday. It did not seem like something that Bai Weiwei would do. Although it was indeed surprising that Bai Weiwei would take the opportunity to confess to Zuo Hancheng last night, it was obviously not something that Bai Weiwei would do to let Director Xue and the others stop her from saying those words. Even if Director Bai¡¯s daughter wanted to interfere in someone else¡¯s marriage, she would not have done such a mean thing from the start. Just as she was wondering if Department Director Xue had deliberately come over to provoke her when she was drunk and not clear-headed, the bathroom door was opened. She did not notice it at all and continued to lean back quietly, enjoying the clear and warm water. She did not know how long he had been watching her until she noticed Zuo Hancheng walking in. Anhao suddenly looked up and saw Hancheng on the left. He had a deep smile in his eyes and was obviously enjoying the scene of her lying in the water. He was very satisfied with the visual effect. Anhao quickly sat up in the water. She saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, which was originally calm and composed, was gradually deepening. Anhao¡¯s face was tense as she reached out to grab the towel beside her to cover herself, but Zuo Hancheng blocked her from doing so with one hand. At the same time, he lowered his head and slowly approached her lips. He said in a low voice,¡±It¡¯s you who refused to come out. You can¡¯t blame me.¡± Anhao looked into his eyes in surprise.¡±¡±Then I will go out now, alright ¡± The last part of her sentence was suddenly stopped by his kiss. Anhao was held in his arms, and both of them fell into the bathtub at the same time. Most of the water in the bathtub had already spilled out. Anhao could only feel the clothes on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body being reduced one by one. She could only feel her body being pressed down by him in the warm water again. Chapter 745 - Chapter 745 Overindulgence Will Kill You!（5） Chapter 745 Overindulgence Will Kill You!£¨5£© Translator: 549690339 It was as if Zuo Hancheng could not get enough of her, and he kept on making waves on her body. After an unknown amount of time, Anhao almost fainted, and everything finally returned to normal. The bathtub had an automatic water temperature adjustment function. After so long, it still maintained its original comfortable temperature, but this temperature was not comparable to the heat after the two of them were entangled. Anhao lay lazily in the bathtub with Zuo Hancheng, curling up in his arms. Zuo Hancheng closed his eyes, probably resting. Anhao raised her head and looked at his handsome face along his chin. She did not dare to move. She felt that if she continued to move around in his arms, Zuo Hancheng, who she had owed her countless times, would probably keep asking for it back for the rest of the day until she really fainted. Just now He had already softened his grip, but she still broke down and begged for mercy in the end. In the end, he finally let her go. Anhao stayed in his embrace obediently, feeling the warmth in his arms, feeling Zuo Hancheng¡¯s steady heartbeat, feeling everything about him. ¡°I booked a flight to America the day after tomorrow.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded above her head. Anhao had almost fallen asleep in his arms. When she heard his words, she opened her eyes. She knew that she could not go against his decision and that he was doing it for her own good, so she only said,¡±¡±Mm.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back to Los Angeles first. I need to deal with the issue with Zuo Yue, and then I¡¯ll go to New York.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand caressed her back as if to comfort her, but also to give her courage and strength. Anhao knew what he meant by going to New York. The Zuo family settled down in Los Angeles, in New York. She nodded in his arms and said,¡±¡±Will it take up your time?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve already solved most of the important matters at hand recently. If there¡¯s anything else, I¡¯ll temporarily hand it over to my assistant.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still on her back. His gentle yet strong strength made An Xin feel at ease. She pressed her face against his neck.¡± Actually, it¡¯s fine even if the Andersons don¡¯t want to acknowledge me. I just ¡± I just want to know why my mother faked her death. It¡¯s fine if I can see her alone. After all, the elders of the An family might not even know about my existence. I don¡¯t want to alarm them ¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her at first. He placed his hand on her back and patted her gently after a while.¡±Leave everything to me. Follow me. I won¡¯t let you suffer.¡± Anhao leaned into his arms lazily.¡±¡±Did I lose my composure after drinking too much last night? The wine was too strong. I only remember drinking two cans. Anyway, the second can should be no less than half. After that, I remember that you came back after a phone call. After that, I can¡¯t remember clearly. Then, for some reason, I woke up in the guest room on the second floor of the entertainment city. Did I say anything that I shouldn¡¯t have said in the middle? Or did he lose his composure in front of the people from the Construction Bureau?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡±Yes.¡±¡± Anhao looked up in surprise.¡±Really? Did I do something or did I say something? Isn¡¯t it embarrassing?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and stood up without answering. Seeing him get up in the bathtub and wrap a towel around him in the blink of an eye, Anhao quickly sat up and grabbed another towel as she watched him walk out of the bathroom.¡±¡±Hey, hey, hey, Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t leave your words half-finished! Did I lose my composure in the entertainment city last night? What are you laughing at?¡± Zuo Hancheng poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly. Then, he held the crystal glass and turned around to look at her. Because Anhao had been in the water for too long, her already fair skin was now even more tender and seductive, but her face was red and seductive. She chased after him with a towel wrapped around her chest, her eyes full of worry.¡±Could it be that I lost my composure in front of them last night, so Department Director Xue felt that he had something on me and took the opportunity to say those words to me?¡± ¡°What does that mean?¡± This time, Zuo Hancheng did not answer but asked a question instead. Anhao was stunned.¡± Weren¡¯t you right beside me at that time? For example ¡± Hugging you in public or something ¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered with certainty. At the same time, he seemed to be in a good mood as he raised his eyebrows elegantly. Really? Anhao looked disillusioned. What else could he do? Did I Suddenly singing, getting drunk, or doing an exaggerated striptease?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and answered truthfully.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright ¡± Anhao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°You only kissed me in public.¡± ¡± !!!¡±Anhao¡¯s eyes widened without a word. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile was deep, and it was obvious that he was not lying. However, in the next moment, when Zuo Hancheng put down his cup, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared. He looked at her seriously and said,¡±¡±What did Department Director Xue tell you? I want the details.¡± Anhao paused for a moment before pouting.¡±Actually, it¡¯s really nothing much. It¡¯s just that he used Miss Bai¡¯s family background to compare me to make me know my own limits. Actually, what he said was also the truth. It¡¯s just that he raised Miss Bai¡¯s value too much and mocked me too much. At that time, my mind was not clear and I couldn¡¯t figure it out for a moment, so I went out for a walk.¡± ¡°What else?¡± ¡°Also . Didn¡¯t I ask you in the car last night? Director Xue is still telling the truth. The Bai family¡¯s position in the country cannot be underestimated. I don¡¯t want to drag you down. Although I know that with your ability, not many people can easily influence you, not to mention that you have such a mysterious power in America. Even if Director Bai is the leader of China Y, he might not be able to do anything, but I don¡¯t want to cause you any more trouble, even if it¡¯s just a one-in-a-million possibility of trouble ¡± At this point, Anhao raised her hand and grabbed her wet hair.¡±¡±At that time, I felt that these words were quite hurtful. Later on, when I thought about it again, I still felt that . It¡¯s still quite hurtful.¡± When she spoke, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s solemn expression and knew that the few people in the Construction Bureau were probably going to have a hard time. ¡°Then why did you suddenly think it through?¡± Zuo Hancheng took the towel from her hands and placed it on her dripping hair to help her wipe it dry. ¡°I just feel that since everything has already happened, if I don¡¯t tell you the truth, a large group of people will probably suffer. I might as well just tell the truth. Every debt has its owner. If you want to settle accounts, you should only look for the culprit. It¡¯s best not to implicate innocent people in order to avoid trouble in the future.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and wiped her head with a towel. He seemed to be satisfied with her answer. Chapter 746 - Chapter 746 Overindulgence Will Kill You!（6） Chapter 746 Overindulgence Will Kill You!£¨6£© Translator: 549690339 This should be considered as completely moving back to the Gilded Scenic Garden. When Anhao opened her eyes the next day, she saw a car coming over to deliver things. The things that were delivered were the necessities that she and Zuo Hancheng often used. The other things that were not too important were not brought over. Anyway, there were all kinds of things in the Gilt Scenery Garden. Anhao was too tired yesterday. After breakfast, she was bullied by Zuo Hancheng in the bathtub for a long time. After that, she took a break and had lunch. He let her go in the afternoon and at night. Of course, it was also because Anhao had been sleeping soundly that he did not have the chance to do anything to her. The next morning, Anhao received the things that had been moved over. When she woke up, Zuo Hancheng had already gone to the office. Anhao looked at the things that had been sent to her and sat on the sofa, looking up at the sky speechlessly. She called Zuo Hancheng, and he picked up not long after. It seemed that he was not particularly busy at the moment. ¡°Is there any point in moving around ¡± When the call connected, she said,¡± I just moved to Heng Hai City. I¡¯m exhausted. Now, I¡¯m moving back here?¡±¡± She could not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile over the phone, but she could tell from his tone that he was in a good mood.¡±¡±I¡¯m already home, so there¡¯s no need to move around anymore. Leave your things here. I¡¯ll go back and get someone to pack them up.¡± ¡°I can clean it up myself.¡± Anhao rested her chin on her hand and looked at the pile of things.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, you actually planned this, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Premeditated what?¡± ¡°You had planned it all out. You knew that I would definitely come back one day, so you didn¡¯t let me take too many things when we left Hua Ting Private Park. At that time, you said that you didn¡¯t need to take too many things.¡± Anhao felt that she was too slow to realize what was going on. ¡°I told you long ago that the road home is not far. You don¡¯t have to pack your things. Be good and rest. Tomorrow, you¡¯ll go to America. I might need your help with Zuo Yue¡¯s matter.¡± Anhao pursed her lips. ¡°Before I go to America, I want to meet someone.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng seemed to be a little busy at the moment. He was talking to someone beside him, and someone was reporting something to him. Anhao wanted to call him later, but before she could say anything, Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±Meet who?¡± ¡°Back then, I was forced into the Gu family. I really want to know how much Gu Tianming knows about my mother, An Ping. Before I go to America, I need to meet him. He might know something, but I¡¯m not sure ¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her immediately. Instead, he said on the other end of the phone while the person beside him continued to report,¡±¡±I¡¯ll call you back after I¡¯m done with Gu Tianming¡¯s matter. Don¡¯t go to see him on your own. Wait for my arrangements.¡± What he meant was that he would help her arrange for her to meet Gu Tianming. He had no intention of stopping her. After Anhao agreed, she hung up the phone and did not disturb him anymore. It was only nine o¡¯clock in the morning, and it was indeed a busy time at the company. Zuo Hancheng would probably be busy for at least one or two hours before he could call her back. Anhao simply got up and took a shower. After she was done packing, she started to pack her luggage that was not very heavy. She packed up the things that she couldn¡¯t keep on the first floor and carried them to the second floor. When she pushed open the door of the bedroom on the second floor, she thought that this bedroom must have been the same as it was three years ago. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw a pile of baby and maternity supplies in the bedroom on the second floor. Those were the things that Zuo Hancheng had asked the supermarket staff to send over when he had accompanied her to the supermarket. In the end, before she could even use them Her gaze swept past those things and fell on the beautiful crib beside the bed. The things here were indeed untouched, and even their positions did not change. It was just that when these things were sent over, she did not pay special attention to them. She did not even go up to touch the crib. For the past three years, Zuo Hancheng had not returned to the Gilt Scenic Garden. On one hand, it was because of her. On the other hand, it was probably because of the things on the second floor that were related to her and the child. Anhao stood in front of the door for a while, lost in her thoughts. She took the things in her hands and opened the cabinet to sort them out one by one. Then, she turned around to look at the crib by the bed and walked over. It was the first time in her life that she touched a baby¡¯s bed. She felt that it was especially exquisite and beautiful. She thought about the car accident and the fact that she did not dare to touch the steering wheel until now. Anhao stood by the bed for a while and continued to caress the bed reluctantly. After a long time, she walked out and continued to pack her luggage. In less than an hour, Wenner suddenly called her. Anhao was holding a baby¡¯s shirt in her arms. She was puzzled as to how she should wear it. There were so many small straps. When she heard the phone call, she held the baby¡¯s shirt in one hand and answered the phone with the other. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up in about ten minutes. Pack up and get ready to leave.¡±Wenner¡¯s voice came from the phone. Anhao was stunned. Before she could say anything, Wenner said,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo doesn¡¯t want you to see Gu Tianming alone, but he¡¯s currently busy at the company and can¡¯t leave. I know someone in the place where Gu Tianming is locked up. He specially asked me to accompany you to ensure your safety.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll pack up and go out immediately.¡± Anhao guessed that Wenner¡¯s sudden appearance was probably ordered by Zuo Hancheng. When she heard that Zuo Hancheng had been busy over there, she thought that he would not have the spare energy to take care of her matters immediately. She did not expect that he would ask Wenner to pick her up first when he could not get away. She was going to the United States tomorrow, but she suddenly decided to see Gu Tianming today. This idea was too sudden. It was also a good thing to have Wenner accompanying her. After all, if Gu Tianming was emotionally unstable when he saw her, Wenner, a criminal psychologist, could easily deal with him. Ten minutes later, Anhao changed into her clothes and tied her hair into a ponytail before walking out. Wenner was standing by the car smoking a cigarette. This foreigner had been in China for so long, but his charm still made some young girls who passed by turn around to look at him from time to time. Anhao couldn¡¯t help but walk over and smile.¡±Your flirting skills are getting better and better.¡± Wenner put out the cigarette in his hand as she approached. He glanced at her outfit and said,¡±You¡¯re really casual. Do you always wear sportswear like this when you¡¯re not at work? The person you¡¯re going to meet later is Gu Tianming, who gave you so many nightmares back then. Have you ever thought of dressing up properly to let him see how good your life is now?¡± Chapter 747 - Chapter 747 A Life Better Than Death (1) Chapter 747 A Life Better Than Death (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No need.¡± Anhao smiled. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡± It¡¯s beautiful like this,¡± Wenner said, raising his eyebrows.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± I don¡¯t know how to define beauty, but I feel that a kind and happy woman always has a strange sense of dignity and strength when she stands there. This is not something that can be expressed by any clothes or accessories.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Wenner could not help but tease her.¡± So, Mrs. Zuo, I can see that you¡¯re very happy. Do you need to torture a single foreigner like me?¡±¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s looking for trouble.¡± Anhao glanced at him with a smile on her face and got into the car. ¡°Was Gu Tianming sentenced to life imprisonment or something?¡±Anhao asked as the car drove on the road. ¡°When something happens to the people of the political F, it¡¯s basically the same. Those who are corrupt, take bribes, and have a dark history are usually stripped of their power and imprisoned for life, or there are even more serious situations. This mainly depends on whether there is anyone outside pressuring the people inside.¡±Wenner said as he drove,¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s background has long been investigated by Mr. Zuo. After the accident, he didn¡¯t have any reliable backers. Moreover, Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t intend to let him live, so he had a worse life than anyone else.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°To put it simply, it¡¯s a fate worse than death. Mr. Zuo has been helping you take revenge on him. The despair, pain, and physical and mental torture have basically tormented Gu Tianming¡¯s desire to live, but Mr. Zuo has arranged for someone to keep an eye on him and not allow him to seek death.¡± In a few simple sentences, Anhao heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s methods and ruthlessness. When she left A City three years ago, the city was in a state of panic. When she returned three years later, Zuo Hancheng had already settled everything. Those who had bullied her, hurt her, and made her live in darkness for too long were now immersed in the darkness that Zuo Hancheng had brought to them. Seeing that Anhao did not speak, Wenner continued,¡±¡±You want to ask Gu Tianming about your background?¡± ¡± You seem to have a lot of connections in America,¡± Anhao turned to look at him.¡± Do you know something?¡±¡± Wenner curled his lips.¡± Everything I know is based on my own ability and network of connections. However, President Zuo didn¡¯t let me interfere too much with your background.¡±¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you always been the one to investigate a lot of things? Why didn¡¯t he let you interfere with my background?¡±Anhao felt that his words were a little strange. ¡°What Mister Zuo asked me to investigate is basically related to the White Dao. As for your background, there are some complicated networks. The reason why Mister Zuo didn¡¯t let us interfere is because there are many incomprehensible guesses and doubts. Before the truth is found out, Mister Zuo tried to protect you and didn¡¯t let more unrelated people care about this matter.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t understand. ¡°But don¡¯t worry.¡± Wenner said,¡± Even if President Zuo doesn¡¯t need me to investigate these things, he still has his own abilities. When you left three years ago, you should know that Mr. Zuo doesn¡¯t have no power in the United States. On the contrary, he has a lot of power hidden in the dark. However, he has been doing business in China for so many years. He basically doesn¡¯t take over some operations in the United States. However, Mr. Zuo has his own intelligence network. In fact, most of the time, before I investigate, your Mr. Zuo has already known about it before any of us.¡± Anhao was silent for a moment before she asked,¡±¡±What does my background have to do with the underworld?¡± ¡± You shouldn¡¯t be asking me these questions,¡± Wenner smiled.¡± Besides, I think Mr. Zuo will tell you after he has investigated everything.¡±¡± Anhao turned to look at the rapidly retreating street outside the car window. She recalled that Zuo Hancheng had said that he would take her to America and accompany her back to the An family. She did not know what kind of family the An family was. She did not even know what kind of blood flowed in her body She had always thought that it was just an abandoned child¡¯s doubts and persistence about his past. Today, Wenner¡¯s words were faintly discernible, and she seemed to have heard something unusual. Was her background very complicated? It was so complicated that Zuo Hancheng needed to use the power that he had not used in the United States for a long time? To Zuo Hancheng, this was undoubtedly a situation where danger and truth coexisted. However, Anhao did not have time to think. Wenner had already brought her to the place where Gu Tianming was imprisoned. As soon as he walked into this place, he felt a sense of imprisonment and depression from all directions. However, even if politicians were imprisoned for life, they would never be locked up with ordinary criminals. They had specific places of imprisonment and specific rules of punishment. The high protective walls around them blocked almost half of the sunlight. Wenner said that it had been arranged inside before they came, so they could go and see Gu Tianming directly. When Anhao walked in, Wenner asked her again,¡±Do you need me to accompany you in?¡± ¡°Although you know what I want to ask him, there are some things that need to be communicated between a ¡®father and father¡¯. Perhaps if you were present, his resistance would be even more serious.¡± Anhao stopped talking. Wenner nodded. At the same time, he admired Anhao¡¯s increasingly mature and rational personality. In the past three years, not only did Zuo Hancheng successfully transform the rebellious girl into the girl who was now full of sunshine, but Anhao herself also exuded her own personal charm. It was just that she had never realized it. Moreover, if the part of the truth that Zuo Hancheng had vaguely found out was true, then Gu Anhao was definitely not the child of an ordinary family. Wenner didn¡¯t say much and only gestured for Anhao to go in. Anhao gave Wenner a look, meaning that he should sit down and rest outside and wait for her. It wasn¡¯t until Wenner smiled and nodded at her that she turned around and walked in. The people here had received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s notice in advance, so they were very polite to her. When they led her in, they kept looking at her without any particular curiosity. The passage was very quiet, and every step Anhao took, she could feel how boring and lonely the life of the people locked here would be. What kind of concept was it to live a life worse than death? Until Anhao saw Gu Tianming lying on a hard bed inside. Although there were two layers of explosion-proof glass, she could still feel the cold and darkness inside. The lights inside had been turned on, but when she saw the man who used to be slightly bald and had a beer belly lying on the bed, Gu Tianming, who needed the medicine given to him by the people here every day to barely wake up, Anhao¡¯s expression froze for a moment. Chapter 748 - Chapter 748: A Life Better Than Death (2) Chapter 748: A Life Better Than Death (2) Translator: 549690339 Gu Tianming obviously knew that Anhao would come, so when the lights came on and he opened his eyes to see her, he wasn¡¯t surprised. However, Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes darkened a little when he saw that she was still beautiful. His biological daughter, Gu Shishi, was still suffering in some corner of the world. This person, who was never his daughter, was actually living a happier life than anyone in the Gu family despite having his surname. Thinking back to the years when Gu Anhao had just been sent to the Gu family, Gu Tianming could not tell whether this was retribution from Gu Anhao or from An Ping. Gu Tianming basically had no ability to resist now. Moreover, he was seriously ill. Anhao only asked the people here for instructions before they opened the door and let her in. However, these people could still monitor Gu Tianming¡¯s every move through the glass window. Once he tried to hurt Anhao, someone would immediately rush in to stop him. Anhao knew that the purpose of those people¡¯s existence was to protect her own safety, so she did not care about those people outside the glass window. When she walked in, she found that although the dark room looked cold and uncomfortable, the air inside was still clean. There was no decay or stench as she had imagined. However, Gu Tianming¡¯s cold and vicious gaze attracted her attention. Anhao¡¯s gaze fell on Gu Tianming. She walked over and stood on the bed condescendingly. Gu Tianming was so thin that his original appearance could not be seen. ¡°I thought you died overseas.¡±Gu Tianming opened his mouth first. Although he was weak, his voice was cold and filled with malice and jealousy. Anhao suddenly felt a little puzzled. In the past, she thought that Gu Tianming only hated her because Anping had forcefully pushed her, an illegitimate daughter, into the Gu family, which was equivalent to throwing a big problem at him. In the dark years she lived in the Gu family, she had always held this mentality. She thought that Gu Tianming, Mrs. Gu, and Gu Shishi only hated her existence because her existence would remind everyone of the dirty things Gu Tianming had done outside. However, later on, when she found out that Gu Tianming was not her biological father, Gu Tianming said that he had already realized that she was not his daughter back then, so he broke into her room after drinking too much and almost raped her. From then on, Anhao was forced to put up her guard and hide from everyone in the Gu family. From then on, her personality changed drastically, and she became the rebellious girl who looked like a hedgehog at first sight to Zuo Hancheng. However, the viciousness in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes made Anhao gradually narrow her eyes. She looked at Gu Tianming and said coldly,¡±Do you really want me to die abroad?¡± ¡°No, you should have died in Anping¡¯s stomach back then. You shouldn¡¯t have been born.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not my father. Whether I was born or not has nothing to do with you.¡±¡±Who do you think you are?¡± Anhao asked coldly. Did he think he was lawless after being the mayor for a few days? Every life has its own reason for surviving in this world. Perhaps my existence is destined to be a counter to you, Gu Tianming. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Gu Tianming suddenly glared at her with a vicious expression, but he gritted his teeth and did not say another word. Seeing his expression, Anhao looked at the bed under him again. Although the room was still clean and not as humid as she had imagined, she could see how thin the blanket under him was. He lay on such a hard bed all day and could not move. He could only be relieved from his illness until he fainted, but he was injected with an injection to wake him up when he was unconscious, and he continued to suffer from the illness.Y0u can read sh0rt, t0uching, and r0mantic st0ries ab0ut c0uples, as well as children¡¯s st0ries f0r free 0n sitest0rys . c0m This kind of long torture was probably more excruciating than the ten great tortures of the Qing Dynasty. ¡°I¡¯m not here to quarrel with you.¡±Anhao softened her tone. She was no longer facing the ¡± father ¡± who could easily hurt her, but a prisoner who would be imprisoned here and tortured for the rest of his life. He was only a ¡± witness ¡± who could provide some relevant information about her background. ¡°Why did my mother send me to the Gu family back then? Since she clearly knew that I¡¯m not your daughter, why did she send me to you? She threw a big problem like me to you and then made us torture each other. What was the reason? It¡¯s impossible that you don¡¯t know.¡± Anhao asked softly as she sat by the bed. Gu Tianming did not seem to expect her to ask so directly, even though he had guessed the reason why she would suddenly come to see him after so many years. He turned to look at Gu Anhao. This child was no longer the petite and fragile child who had just been sent to the Gu family and looked at everyone with a guarded gaze. He was also no longer the child who had watched Anping roll down the stairs and lie in a pool of blood with her eyes wide open in fear and confusion. Of course, he was also no longer the little Anhao who had endured the pain of being bullied by his wife and daughter in that small room. She had to admit that Zuo Hancheng had rescued this little grass from the cracks and filled her life with sunshine. The way she gradually grew up was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Many people thought that Gu Anhao was just an unremarkable little grass. Even if she was brought by someone like Zuo Hancheng, even if she was under the sun, she was just a little grass living under the sun. She was still so unremarkable. However, Gu Tianming saw a different feeling in her. This didn¡¯t feel like the An Ping from before, who was bent on taking revenge on everyone. Now, even if Gu Anhao had doubts and hatred in her heart, those impulses that were similar to An Ping¡¯s had gradually been exhausted. Instead, there was an inexplicable aura that seemed to be born with her. At this moment, Gu Tianming began to wonder who Gu Anhao¡¯s biological father was. Seeing that Gu Tianming didn¡¯t say anything, Anhao wasn¡¯t in a hurry. She took a wooden chair from the side and saw that it was still clean. She sat on the chair and slowly waited for him to speak. ¡°I won¡¯t torture you like the people here, even though I do hate you.¡±Anhao said calmly,¡± My life in the Gu family for five years was like hell, but I did not starve to death during those five years. Even if I lived worse than a servant, even if I had broken ribs, even if I was beaten up in a corner, at least you gave me the chance to continue my studies. Although you sent me to A High for the sake of your reputation, you did manage to let me continue my life.¡± Seeing Gu Tianming¡¯s surprised expression, Anhao¡¯s gaze remained indifferent.¡±We can slowly waste time. Anyway, I have plenty of time. As for you, you know how long you can endure the torture of this illness.¡± Chapter 749 - Chapter 749: The Truth Buried by Time (1) Chapter 749: The Truth Buried by Time (1) Translator: 549690339 Gu Tianming stared at her in disbelief. How could she not torture him? The pain that he was suffering from now was not caused by her or Zuo Hancheng. Every day, he waited for the people here to give him an injection to relieve his pain as if he had taken drugs. However, these people would help him sometimes, and sometimes, when he fainted from the pain, they would give him an injection to wake him up so that he could continue to suffer in pain. Now that Gu Anhao was sitting here and saying these words calmly, the sharpness and viciousness hidden in them made Gu Tianming immediately glare at her fiercely.¡±You ¡± Anhao ignored the hatred in his eyes. Her voice was still soft and indifferent, and she did not seem anxious at all. She was flying to the United States with Zuo Hancheng tomorrow. Gu Tianming did not know that she was in a hurry to get some information out of him today. He could not tell anything from Anhao¡¯s face. He could only see that she seemed to be really patient as she sat there and watched him suffer. Gu Tianming¡¯s face was cold and he did not speak. He just stared at him like that. Anhao also looked at him like that and asked,¡±¡±Since you were so sure that I wasn¡¯t your daughter back then, why did you believe me when my mother brought the fake DNA over? What kind of relationship do you have with my mother? How many secrets were hidden in the version of the story I heard when I was young?¡± ¡°I can see Mrs. Gu¡¯s hatred for me. She only really believed that there was a relationship between you and my mother. She believed that you had a mistress and that I was just an illegitimate daughter who couldn¡¯t be exposed. Her hatred was very pure. As for you, Gu Tianming, you clearly knew a lot of things, but you endured it and kept me around. Even after you found out that I wasn¡¯t your daughter, you didn¡¯t expose me immediately.¡± Anhao asked patiently. Even if Gu Tianming didn¡¯t answer, she still looked at him. Every time she asked a question, Gu Tianming¡¯s gaze would change. She was trying her best to capture the changes in his eyes. ¡°Also, you tried to investigate my mother¡¯s past, but it seemed that those past were only a very short fragment. You didn¡¯t find much at all. You only found out something strange, and that was that my mother had killed someone in America. ¡°But later, I checked the things that you found out. Although the United States does have a warrant for her arrest, the reason for her arrest doesn¡¯t seem to be for murder. Although I don¡¯t know the reason why she¡¯s wanted, you kept saying that my mother had killed someone. This did hurt me in the past. Now that I think about it carefully, you just wanted to threaten me at that time, forcing me to have a mental breakdown and forcing me to submit to that minister so that I could live a short life of being ¡®pampered¡¯ by him. You know nothing about my mother¡¯s past.¡± Gu Tianming suddenly couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her. His eyes were still filled with malice.¡±Since you already know all this, why did you come over and ask me?¡± Seeing that Gu Tianming was finally getting impatient and that the blood vessels on his skinny hands were bursting, Anhao looked at him unhurriedly, probably because he could not stand the torture of his illness and the torture of those memories. She did not care about knowing the answer and only said,¡±Although you don¡¯t know anything about my mother¡¯s past, at least you know what happened to her in the days after she changed her identity and came to China.¡± Hearing Anhao mention ¡± those days,¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s expression froze for a long time, but he did not say anything. Sensing the stiffness in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes, Anhao raised her eyebrows slightly.¡± The version of the story that I¡¯ve heard of is that my mother graduated from a university in China. After that, through some coincidences, she entered the government and worked as a small employee. Then, she didn¡¯t know that you were married. At that time, she often went on business trips with you to work together. The two of you gradually developed feelings for each other, and then I was born.¡± Hearing this story, Gu Tianming suddenly smiled. The mocking smile in his eyes did not make Anhao angry. She already knew that this version of the story might be fake. Now, the mocking smile on Gu Tianming¡¯s face completely confirmed that An Ping had tried to use this calm interaction to cover up too many unexpected events in the past. ¡°So, it¡¯s indeed fake.¡± Anhao looked at him coldly.¡± But since my mother sent me to the Gu family, and you weren¡¯t sure if I was your daughter in the beginning, it seems that there are some past events between you and my mother. What are the real past events?¡± What was my mother like at that time? What happened between you and her? What was the reason she sent me to the Gu family?¡± Gu Tianming closed his eyes and did not speak. After a while, he said coldly,¡± I won¡¯t tell you, you can guess it yourself. Anyway, I¡¯m not the one who¡¯s uncomfortable.¡±¡± ¡°Do you want to know where Gu Shishi is now?¡± Anhao looked at him calmly.¡± Gu Tianming suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief. ¡°Do you know where Shishi is?¡± Gu Tianming stared at her with distrust in his eyes, but he refused to let go of this piece of news and stared at her fiercely. Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m Zuo Hancheng¡¯s man. It¡¯s not difficult for me to get information about someone. Besides, if Gu Shishi was still alive, it would be easy to find her.¡±¡± ¡°Why are you looking for her? Shishi is innocent. She was just spoiled by her mother. No matter how much Shishi¡¯s mother and I treated you, Shishi is still a child. She did some outrageous things to you under the influence of her mother¡¯s hatred, but she doesn¡¯t deserve to die. Moreover, her mother and I will spend most of our lives in this kind of life that is worse than death. Shishi is also wandering outside now. Give her a chance to live. Don¡¯t look for her!¡± Seeing Gu Tianming¡¯s anxious expression, Anhao¡¯s gaze did not change. She only said softly,¡±Speaking of which, you can be considered a father to Gu Shishi.¡± Gu Tianming looked at Anhao with a complicated expression. In fact, she did not know Gu Shishi¡¯s whereabouts. However, seeing that Gu Tianming had been unwilling to tell her, she wanted to use this sentence to see if it could make him react. Of course, if she wanted to investigate, she only needed to tell Wenner or Zuo Hancheng. Perhaps she would be able to find Gu Shishi¡¯s whereabouts very quickly. However, this was not important to her. What was important was that Gu Tianming could indeed be worried about his daughter, who was still free. In this way, Qiaqia would fall into the trap that Anhao had set for him. Chapter 750 - Chapter 750 The Truth Buried by Time (2) Chapter 750 The Truth Buried by Time (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether I hate Gu Shishi or not, but there¡¯s one thing that you don¡¯t seem to know.¡±Anhao looked at Gu Tianming, who had a complicated expression.¡±The reason why I got involved with Zuo Hancheng back then was actually because of the mother and daughter.¡± Gu Tianming was puzzled and completely puzzled.¡±What thanks to them?¡± ¡± Your daughter drugged me in the bar, wanting me to have an affair with a random man outside so that she could find a reason to kick me out of the Gu family. At that time, she brought a few relatives who had a lot of weight in the family to catch me in the act of adultery, but I didn¡¯t expect to meet Zuo Hancheng that night. Zuo Hancheng picked me up and brought me to the hotel, but he didn¡¯t do anything. After all, my shameless appearance at that time was indeed not to his liking.¡± At this point, the smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes was a little strange. At least in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes, her smile was very strange and cold. ¡°I should thank fate for not letting me be picked up by those messy men. Otherwise, I don¡¯t know what kind of life I would have lived in the future. Or perhaps, Gu Anhao would no longer exist in this world.¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was very soft.¡± Your daughter, Gu Shishi, doesn¡¯t care if a living person like me will fall into a bottomless abyss. She only wants to do things that make her happy, even if it means using my entire life of pain to make her happy. So, do you think I will hate her? So, do you think I¡¯ll let her go if I know where she is?¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s expression froze. ¡°Other than this matter, there are many other things that the mother and daughter have hidden from you. The pain they have inflicted on me is much more than you know. I was once a weakling in the Gu family, but now, Gu Shishi, who has lost her home, is a weakling. Things change. I¡¯ve waited for so many years for a chance to take revenge. Tell me, will I let her off?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze was sharp when she spoke. Gu Tianming¡¯s hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the bed and tried to sit up. Seeing his agitated emotions, Anhao knew that she had achieved her goal, so she still maintained her original attitude and looked at him indifferently. ¡°If you dare to lay a finger on Shishi, I won¡¯t let you off even if I become a ghost!¡±Gu Tianming couldn¡¯t sit up. He could only grit his teeth and scold her. Anhao chuckled.¡± I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to become a ghost for the time being. It seems like you don¡¯t even have the chance to seek death here. Even if you don¡¯t eat, someone will give you glucose. You won¡¯t die even if you want to. What kind of pain is this?¡± If Gu Shishi also experienced such pain, perhaps I would feel very happy.¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Gu Tianming glared at her fiercely. ¡± Gu Anhao?¡± Anhao suddenly frowned.¡± Hearing the name Gu Anhao from your mouth really makes me feel disgusted.¡± It seemed that I should take some time to change my name on my household register and identity card. The word Gu always made me feel like there was something dirty weighing on my head. I had never hated a surname as much as I did now.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch Shishi.¡± Gu Tianming took a few deep breaths and realized that he was considered a weakling in front of her. With just a few words, she could actually threaten him now. As expected, this wretched girl¡¯s wings had hardened. However, she was not relying on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s power to threaten her. She was relying on herself, and it was just a few words. If this girl had an even greater backer, they would probably be completely dominated by her for the rest of their lives. This feeling of being threatened was not good. Gu Tianming endured it for a long time before saying,¡±Don¡¯t go looking for trouble with Shishi. Just tell me what you want.¡± Anhao wasn¡¯t in a hurry anymore. She just sat by the bed and smiled at him. Seeing that she was silent, Gu Tianming raised his eyes and glared at her.¡± What exactly are the conditions?!¡± ¡°I only wanted to ask you those questions earlier. However, now ¡± Anhao rested her chin on one hand and looked at Gu Tianming, who was struggling to sit up. She smiled and said,¡± I also want to know if there was anyone else close to my mother when you were with her. I mean, no one who went missing ¡± Gu Tianming¡¯s expression froze, and he looked at her in a daze. ¡°When you were investigating my mother¡¯s past, you must have discovered that those who witnessed her ¡®death¡¯ in the hospital have all mysteriously disappeared, and you, Gu Tianming, are one of them. It¡¯s just that your current situation is because you offended Zuo Hancheng, so you didn¡¯t disappear like those people. However, you must know some people who haven¡¯t disappeared either. Do you know where they are?¡± Gu Tianming didn¡¯t say anything. He just looked at Anhao as if he had seen a ghost. It was as if he had never realized that this little girl was actually such a scheming person. She had hidden her words until now, but she had benefited from it in every way. Could three years really make a child who was once rebellious and willful grow to this extent? As the doubt in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes grew deeper and deeper, Anhao remained calm.¡± You can answer my first question first. About your relationship with my mother and why she sent me to the Gu family, I don¡¯t want to waste my breath on you anymore. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s worth it to bet on Gu Shishi¡¯s safety with just a few words?¡± Gu Tianming frowned and didn¡¯t say anything. Anhao, however, seemed to have reached the limit of her patience. After looking at him twice, she stood up indifferently and turned to leave.¡±Since you¡¯re unwilling to say it, then I don¡¯t have to waste any more time here. Gu Tianming, this should be the last time we meet in this life. I still remember that I was kidnapped because I was your ¡®daughter¡¯ when I was young. I¡¯ll let your daughter taste all the hatred. We still have a lot of time, and you can continue to suffer here ¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Gu Tianming suddenly called out to her, his eyes fierce. Gu Anhao stopped in her tracks and knew that she was threatening him on purpose. However, he had no choice but to call out to her, and his voice sounded even more deranged.¡±I raped Anping back then!¡± Anhao was about to turn around when she suddenly turned to look at Gu Tianming, whose eyes were bloodshot. ¡°I raped her ¡± Gu Tianming closed his eyes and clenched his skinny hands into fists.¡±At that time, Anping was just a small employee in the agency. She did often go on business trips with me to work together, but she was very strict and dutiful. As time passed, I found her more and more pleasing to the eye. She was indeed beautiful, so one time when I was on a business trip, she was drunk. After that, I brought her back to the hotel and raped her despite her resistance.¡± It was only then that Anhao remembered when An Ping had made up stories about the past in front of her when she was young. Although there seemed to be a smile on her face, there was a cold look in her eyes. Chapter 751 - Chapter 751: The Truth Buried by Time (3) Chapter 751: The Truth Buried by Time (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually became filled with disbelief as she looked at the pain and despair in Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes. He should know the consequences of telling the truth, so this was the reason why he refused to tell her? He could no longer care about the coldness in Anhao¡¯s eyes. Gu Tianming did not want his only daughter to be hurt because of his many years of mistakes. No matter what, he could not let Gu Anhao¡¯s hatred affect his daughter, even if his life here would be even more difficult in the future. ¡°Back then, after I forced Anping to have sex with me, she was very depressed at that time, but what¡¯s there to pretend about? It¡¯s not like it¡¯s her first time.¡±Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes were unwavering.¡±And before I forcefully wanted her, I saw some marks on her chest and neck, as if she had just done it with another man for less than two days. Such obvious marks made me feel unhappy when I wanted her, so I took the condom in the room and put it on before I raped her.¡± When Anhao heard these details, she felt her eyebrows twitch. Before Gu Tianming forcefully took her, did An Ping have traces left behind by another man not long ago? An Ping¡¯s gentle smile appeared in her mind. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t associate her with a woman who would be unrestrained and would be with many men. She even remembered that when Anping was in the Yi family, although Anping and Uncle Yi seemed to be very loving at first, it seemed that Anping would often carry her to sleep in the children¡¯s room and rarely go to Uncle Yi¡¯s master bedroom. At that time, Anhao was still young and only thought that her mother loved her. Her mother was afraid that she would feel insecure because of her remarriage, so she often accompanied her. But now that he thought about it, it didn¡¯t seem that simple. ¡°Actually, Anping and I have really done it before. It was just that one time. That was also the time when I used birth control. So later on, when I found out that she was pregnant with my child, I was very puzzled. It was only when she brought the DNA certificate to the Gu family and said that you were my daughter that although I was puzzled, I suspected that the condom used at that time might have leaked or something had gone wrong. After all, there was still a few percent chance that the birth control product had a flaw.¡± As Gu Tianming spoke, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Anhao, who was standing motionless in front of him.¡±After you stayed at the Gu family for a few months, I paid special attention to you and realized that you didn¡¯t look like me at all. Although you looked very similar to the young Anping, there were some feelings between your eyes that didn¡¯t look like me or her. At that time, I was suspicious, but later, because of the city¡¯s election, I was busy for a few months before I took the time to investigate you. The result is self-evident.¡± At this point, Gu Tianming¡¯s eyes were filled with a cold smile.¡±You¡¯re not my daughter, but Anping used all her schemes to push you into the Gu family. She let you torture our family and make our family unable to have peace. At the same time, we¡¯re also torturing you.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows twitched when she heard that. Was her birth just a tool for An Ping to torture the Gu family? It was impossible Before she and Anping left the Yi family, Anping had doted on her so much. It was the natural motherly love of a mother, without any impurities. ¡°I actually don¡¯t know much about Anping. I don¡¯t know how she made up the story with you either. Back then, after we forced ourselves to have sex, she hated me and avoided me. I once called her a b tch who had been f cked by countless men. At that time, I was just angry. She usually pretended to be aloof and pure like a lily, but when I wanted her, she had already done it with another man. This was completely different from her inviolable image in my heart. I was angry and hateful. I was even more angry at her for avoiding me later, so I often made things difficult for her during that time. Not long after, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and resigned.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes froze. Based on the time she was born, her biological father was not Gu Tianming, but the man before Gu Tianming forced himself on her mother? Who was that person? From what Gu Tianming said, Gu Tianming obviously didn¡¯t know who that person was. Other than the traces he found on An Ping¡¯s body, he knew almost nothing about that man¡¯s existence. Anhao suddenly felt a little vexed. It turned out that she had actually missed such a link after investigating for so long. She had always thought that it would be enough to investigate the matter before and after An Ping sent her to the Gu family. Although she now knew that An Ping had faked her death, she never expected that there would be such a past between her, Gu Tianming, and another man. She had never heard of that man¡¯s existence, and it was obviously impossible for him to be Uncle Yi, whom her mother had remarried. Also, why did Anping remarry to the Yi family back then? Did Yi Zeyang know the reason? Otherwise, how could Yi Zeyang have discovered the problem so early and helped her investigate overseas? Countless mysteries intertwined in her mind. Anhao¡¯s expression did not change. She only looked at Gu Tianming, who seemed to have aged 20 years in the past three years. ¡°In your eyes, am I just a tool for her to take revenge on you? Do you think that she deliberately sent me to the Gu family and turned your family upside down?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s not the case, what other reason could it be? You¡¯re not my daughter, and she insisted on sending you here. Could it be that she thought that she was pregnant with my child until she died? Then what was that man from before? Did she ever think that you might be that man¡¯s child?¡±Gu Tianming narrowed his eyes. Anhao didn¡¯t speak. Of course, she did not know the answers. It was unknown whether the DNA report An Ping gave to Gu Tianming was forged by An Ping, or whether someone else had faked it before giving it to An Ping, causing An Ping to think that she was really Gu Tianming¡¯s child, so she had sent her there. It seemed that he could only find out the answer when he saw An Ping with his own eyes However, the new DNA report that Gu Tianming had given her was definitely not wrong because she had verified it herself. Zuo Hancheng had also verified it when he helped her investigate. She was indeed not related to Gu Tianming by blood. It was as if in an instant, the truth that she thought was true was once again in chaos. Her father was actually a mystery. Anhao suddenly felt a headache coming on. She had come here to find Gu Tianming because she wanted to know why she was sent to the Gu family. She didn¡¯t expect to know these things. The scenes of the past formed countless waves in her mind, but she could only hold onto a trace of rationality to not slap Gu Tianming¡¯s face. He actually had the cheek to say that he raped her mother when she was drunk! How could such a shameless man call her mother a b tch! Chapter 752 - Chapter 752: Should I Leave (1) Chapter 752: Should I Leave (1) Translator: 549690339 On the way back, Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She didn¡¯t even seem to hear her phone ringing. Of course, the volume of her phone wasn¡¯t very loud. It wasn¡¯t very obvious when she placed it in her bag, but if it wasn¡¯t because she had been preoccupied, she would definitely have heard it. After the phone rang once, Wenner¡¯s phone rang. Anhao didn¡¯t notice that Wenner was on the phone. She was only immersed in Gu Tianming¡¯s words and her past with An Ping when she was young. Before she was sent to the Gu family, she had once lived a life of being loved by her mother. Unfortunately, everything was interrupted when she was sent to the Gu family. Who should she look for now? Go to the Yi Group to look for Uncle Yi, who had lost his real power? Or should he look for Yi Zeyang who might know something? No one would be able to dig out the truth. If she wanted the truth, she could only look for her mother, who was still alive. Anhao had been sitting quietly until she heard Wenner¡¯s words. She snapped back to her senses and turned to look at Wenner. She saw him talking and laughing with the person on the other end of the phone. He even teased her a little. However, the teasing seemed to have something to do with her, so she just looked at him. After saying a few more words, Wenner hung up the phone and took off his headphones. He turned to look at Anhao and couldn¡¯t help but smile.¡±I thought that you would continue to wander until you returned home.¡± ¡°Who were you calling just now? Why did you mention my name?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t pay much attention to what he said just now. She only felt that the topic seemed to be related to her when she heard her name. ¡°Who else could it be? You didn¡¯t answer Mr. Zuo¡¯s call just now, so he called me. He only stopped after making sure that nothing happened to you.¡±As he spoke, Wenner clicked his tongue again.¡±Speaking of which, I don¡¯t really recommend that you go back to Liujing Garden now. Since it¡¯s only noon now, why don¡¯t you go to Shengling Group and have lunch with Mr. Zuo?¡± It was not strange for them to have lunch. What was strange was Wenner¡¯s initiative to suggest it. Anhao found it even stranger.¡±The reason?¡± Seeing her indifferent attitude, it was likely that she had heard some unhappy news from Gu Tianming. It seemed that she was not interested in anything else. Wenner held the steering wheel and raised his eyebrows as he said indifferently,¡±¡±Director Bai has brought Madam Bai to Shengling Group. I wonder if Miss Bai from the Construction Bureau will be there as well. Mr. Zuo used to be a member of the board of directors, Mr. Zuo, a member of the board of directors, Mr. Zuo, a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of directors.¡± ¡°What can I do? Can I go splash a glass of water on Director Bai¡¯s face and warn him not to snatch someone else¡¯s husband to be his son-in-law just because he has power? Or should she shamelessly tell them that Zuo Hancheng was her man and that no one could touch him?¡± ¡°If you really do this, I think Mr. Zuo will be very happy.¡± ¡°Happy my ass. Do you think I haven¡¯t caused him enough trouble?¡± ¡°Actually, I also find it unbelievable.¡±Wenner said meaningfully,¡± A person like Mr. Zuo should have drawn a clear line between himself and someone like you, Gu Anhao. He definitely shouldn¡¯t have squeezed into the same world as you. But, every time you cause trouble, he has to clean up your mess. I didn¡¯t expect that Mr. Zuo would like to clean up your mess so much. I reckon that even if you offend Director Bai and his family, he would be able to help you clean up properly. So, what are you afraid of?¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly darkened.¡± Wenner laughed.¡± You should know that although I like China, I didn¡¯t really grow up in China. It¡¯s already very good that I can find such a suitable metaphor. Do you expect me to find other similar words to describe that sentence?¡± Anhao was speechless. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s very obvious. Even if you offend Director Bai, Zuo Hancheng will not let anything happen to you, and he will not let the Bai family take advantage of you. Anhao, your background is not as bad as you think. Even if we don¡¯t flaunt our family background, as Mrs. Zuo, you should at least clear your name. After all, I heard that Bai Weiwei hasn¡¯t told the Bai family about your existence until now. The two elders of the Bai family might still be hoping that Mr. Zuo isn¡¯t married.¡± Anhao understood the meaning behind his words and turned to look at him.¡±¡±If Zuo Hancheng causes trouble for Shengling Group because of the Bai family, will you cheer for him?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Wenner answered with certainty, but when Anhao rolled her eyes at him, she smiled and said,¡±¡±But Mister Zuo will not let such a thing happen. You must know that when he stood on this land with clean hands, he was already invincible. Moreover, he had already mobilized his unknown power in the United States three years ago. His strength is not something you can easily imagine, so don¡¯t think of Shengling Group or Mr. Zuo as too weak. He has enough power to support everything you have, including your confidence and your status as Mrs. Zuo.¡± ¡°The apple of my eye or the apple of my heart, which one do you want .¡± The words that Zuo Hancheng had said through gritted teeth when he was pressing down on her that day suddenly echoed in her ears. Seeing that Wenner¡¯s car was not heading towards the Gilt Garden but Shengling Group, she did not refuse or ask him to turn around. Instead, she asked softly after a moment of silence,¡±¡±He¡¯s in America . What kind of power is it?¡± Winnar didn¡¯t answer immediately as the luxury car sped on the road. Anhao¡¯s eyes were fixed on him, observing Winnar¡¯s movements. After being stared at by her for a long time, Wenner turned to look at her.¡± Don¡¯t blame me for not telling you. It¡¯s mainly because Mr. Zuo doesn¡¯t intend to let you come into contact with those things. Many circles are not as simple as you think, including the business world. It¡¯s not a world that you can easily play around with just a pair of clean hands. What he gives you is only protection. Of course, I won¡¯t tear apart this layer of protection.¡± It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t hear the seriousness in his words. Anhao was puzzled for a moment and didn¡¯t ask any more questions. ¡°In short, he is a different Mr. Zuo. If it is not an emergency, he will rarely use those forces now. However, no matter what, he is the most reliable backer by your side. No matter when and where, you just have to believe in Mr. Zuo.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes looked at the Shengling Group¡¯s headquarters building that was getting closer and closer. A different Zuo Hancheng? Chapter 753 - Chapter 753: Should I Leave (2) Chapter 753: Should I Leave (2) Translator: 549690339 In Anhao¡¯s eyes, Shengling Group¡¯s facade was as tall as she remembered. However, when she walked to the square, she looked at the tens of stories tall building in front of her. Then she remembered that there were only a handful of buildings with more than a hundred stories in the country. Shengling Group¡¯s current height was already among the top three in City A. If it was rebuilt, she wondered if it could achieve her small goal. Although a building with more than a hundred floors was very challenging, Shengling Group¡¯s old headquarters in the United States were very tall. Ever since she began to have some strategies for the company¡¯s reconstruction plan, she had always had this ambition. She knew that Shengling Group had the ability to do so. With so many employees and departments, the building with more than a hundred floors could indeed be fully utilized. She looked at the tall glass windows in the upper half and inexplicably began to imagine the future of this business empire that only belonged to Zuo Hancheng but not the Zuo family. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s presence, her reconstruction design, and his empire had already opened their arms to her and welcomed her return in a different way. When Anhao arrived at the president¡¯s office, she realized that Zuo Hancheng was not in the office. His suit jacket was casually placed on the sofa in the office. The office was very quiet at this moment, and it was already noon. Could it be that Zuo Hancheng had already gone to eat with Director Bai¡¯s family before she arrived? Just as Anhao was about to turn around, she suddenly heard some movement in the direction of the resting room. She turned her head abruptly and looked in the direction of the resting room. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and pressed the password lock outside the resting room a few times. Then, she entered her fingerprint and the door slowly opened. This time, the movement sounded clearer. The voice came from the bathroom in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s personal lounge. Just as she was about to walk over, the office door behind her was pushed open. Mobai walked in and saw Anhao.¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you say hello?¡± Anhao looked back at him.¡± I was in Wenner¡¯s car just now.¡±¡± Hearing her words that were not considered an explanation, Mobai was stunned for a moment before he laughed.¡±¡±No wonder, he never did anything in advance. He never specially greeted us. He didn¡¯t even tell us that he suddenly sent you here.¡± As he spoke, Mobai placed the documents in his hands on the desk in the CEO¡¯s office. He then saw Anhao looking hesitantly in the direction of the bathroom in the lounge. Mobai smiled and said,¡±¡±Just now, President Zuo was inspecting the new product R & D office and the R & D workshop behind it. Some of the debris during the production process inevitably fell on his body. There are more or less some chemical components in those debris, so he had to take a shower after the inspection.¡± No wonder. Anhao nodded at Mobai. Just as she was about to close the door to the lounge and return to the office, Mobai glanced at the time and said,¡±¡±Go to the lounge first. Director Bai and the others will be here in a while. I was going to help President Zuo get his clothes, but since you¡¯re here, you can help him get them. They¡¯re in the gray wardrobe next to the lounge. I see that you¡¯re quite good at matching clothes.¡± ¡°When did Director Bai and the others arrive?¡±Anhao asked. Seeing that she had asked, Mobai naturally knew her identity. He also knew about the Bai family and Bai Weiwei, so he didn¡¯t hide anything from her.¡±They came an hour ago, but President Zuo was inspecting the R & D workshop when they arrived and didn¡¯t go to see them. He came back to take a shower after that. Director Bai and his wife were being shown around the company¡¯s departments by Lin Qing and a few key secretaries in the secretary¡¯s office.¡± ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t it be too abrupt for me to appear here now?¡± Hearing her words, Mobai smiled.¡±¡±No, Wenner sent you here at the right time.¡± If even Mobai had said so, then it seemed that Zuo Hancheng had not told her about it before because he did not want her to face the Bai family again after she left the entertainment city that night. That was why he did not let her know about it and did not intend to let her see the Bai family again. This was indeed a form of protection. However, since she was already here, whether Zuo Hancheng would protect her from the Bai family or she would protect Zuo Hancheng from the Bai family would depend on her own ability. Mobai had already left, so Anhao walked straight into the resting room. The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Clearly, Zuo Hancheng did not know that she would suddenly come here. Anhao was in a good mood as she walked to the wardrobe. She opened the door and saw a row of suits hanging inside. These suits were different from those at home. Although there were many suits in the cabinet at home, there were at least some casual and some daily wear styles. However, these in the company were all business styles. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s perfectly proportioned figure did not require her to pick out his clothes. Any suit on him would attract everyone¡¯s attention. Anhao¡¯s hands went through the suits that were definitely of the business elite¡¯s style. She took out a bright gray suit and a black shirt, and then found a tie that matched his color perfectly. Zuo Hancheng usually dressed very casually. Even if he was wearing a business elite suit, it still had his own unique style. If it was not a particularly serious and important occasion, he would deliberately skip the tie. However, the casual way he dressed made people want to vomit blood. Just as she was thinking about it, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Anhao placed the clothes and tie she had picked together and gestured twice. In less than two minutes, the bathroom door was pulled open. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lower body was only wrapped in a towel, and there were still water droplets flowing down his neat black hair. His chest was also covered in water that had not been wiped off, and it was slowly flowing down his lean chest to his sexy abdomen. What made Anhao¡¯s face heat up even more was that because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unceremonious invasion of her yesterday, there were still marks on his body that had not disappeared. Those were the marks that she had scratched. Obviously, Zuo Hancheng did not expect her to suddenly appear here. The moment he opened the door, he saw Anhao standing by the wardrobe with her clothes. However, he only looked at her for a few seconds before he walked out. ¡°When did you arrive? Why didn¡¯t you say so in advance?¡± As per his habit, Zuo Hancheng poured a glass of water for himself after taking a shower. At the same time, he also poured a glass for her. ¡°Just now, after returning from Gu Tianming¡¯s place, Wenner sent me over directly. He said that he wanted me to have lunch with you.¡±Anhao replied. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and looked at the clothes in her hands.¡±¡±Wenner should have told you who I¡¯m meeting today.¡± Anhao looked at his well-defined back, then at the scratches on his shoulders. She asked meaningfully,¡±¡±Should I leave?¡± Chapter 754 - Chapter 754: Boss Zuo’s Little Wife (1) Chapter 754: Boss Zuo¡¯s Little Wife (1) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng put down the cup and said softly,¡±¡±Avoiding what?¡± ¡°Director Bai and the others came here especially to see their rich husband. If I don¡¯t avoid them, do you think I can go with you to see them?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t we go together?¡± Zuo Hancheng threw the question that she had deliberately thrown at her back at her. At the same time, he had already walked up to Anhao when she was stunned for a moment. He only needed to lean forward slightly to directly control her against the wardrobe door. He lowered his head and looked at her eyes that were obviously filled with jealousy at such a close distance. ¡°If someone with bad intentions snatched me away, I would have to wait for Mrs. Zuo to come and save me.¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng teasing her with a serious expression, Anhao could not help but smile. However, before she could say anything, Zuo Hancheng had already captured her lips and tongue and kissed her deeply for a long time. Until Anhao leaned against the cabinet door, panting and blushing. She raised the clothes that were about to crumple in her hands.¡±I just matched the clothes for you. If you don¡¯t wear them now, you¡¯ll be wrinkled by me ¡± She had made Director Bai and the rest wait for too long. Even if Zuo Hancheng¡¯s desires were still not satisfied, he could not continue with her here. Otherwise, he was afraid that all his plans for the afternoon would be canceled. Zuo Hancheng was still pressing her against the cabinet door. He looked down at the clothes in her hands and said,¡±¡±After being married for so long, you finally remembered to help your husband put on his clothes?¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Mobai said that he was going to come in and help you get your clothes. When he saw me, he asked me to come in and help you get them.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to take her excuse of Mobai seriously. He only smiled and raised his hand to touch her little face that was already red from the passionate kiss just now. He patiently placed his forehead against hers and said in a clear and husky voice that was full of bewitchment,¡±Help me put it on.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes trembled. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation, she could only grab the towel behind his shoulder and wipe his head. No matter how hard she used, Zuo Hancheng seemed to enjoy it. She pushed him to the side of the bed and sat him down. She helped him dry his hair while she looked around for the hairdryer. Then, as she looked around, she spoke casually. ¡°Then, let¡¯s make a deal. I¡¯ll help you dry your hair and put on your clothes. You have to let me go when we go back tonight ¡± She still felt a burning sensation there After all, she hadn¡¯t been touched for more than three years. Yesterday, she really felt like she was going to be tortured to pieces by him in the Liujing Garden. Today, she really wanted to have a good sleep. As soon as she finished speaking, someone suddenly hugged her waist and sat her down on his lap. Anhao was poked by the hard part of her lower body as soon as she sat down. However, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes that clearly did not intend to let her go. She was so angry that she threw the towel on his face.¡±Wipe it yourself. I¡¯m going out!¡± Before she could turn around, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm had already pulled her back and made her sit on his lap again. This time, Anhao carefully avoided the part of his lower body that had already reacted. Although she was no longer a young lady who had just experienced her first time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s undisguised desire still made her feel that she might not be able to sleep well for the next few days. ¡°How much did you owe me when we first got married?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand held her waist firmly. At the same time, when Anhao turned to glare at him, he chuckled softly and said,¡±¡±How much do you owe me these three years? How could he make up for it in just one night?¡± Anhao did not dare to look at him, but she instinctively raised her hand and placed the towel that she had just thrown on his body back on his head. She wiped her face while carefully avoiding Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smiling but passionate gaze. If she moved around in his arms now, Director Bai and Madam Bai would probably not be able to see Zuo Hancheng for the rest of the afternoon without her doing anything. ¡°I¡¯m done. I¡¯ll go get the hairdryer ¡± Anhao took off the towel and was about to stand up carefully. Zuo Hancheng kissed her ear with his hot lips under her embarrassed expression. Anhao suddenly shivered in his arms and his hands suddenly tightened around her waist. He did not intend to let her get up at all. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, this is your company. You still have to meet Director Bai and the others later ¡± Anhao reminded him softly. Moreover, she did not feel that she had the kind of charm that would make the emperor not go to court early from now on. However, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be lusting after her scent. This made Anhao feel puzzled occasionally. What exactly did he like about her? She clearly remembered the look of disgust in his eyes when she first appeared in front of him. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her ear. She let out a low cry and covered her ears with her hands. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, the culprit, and said,¡±¡±You used to say that I was born in the year of the dog, but I think you¡¯re the one born in the year of the dog. Why did you bite me again?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you just let me kiss you once without being distracted?¡±Zuo Hancheng held her tightly in his arms in dissatisfaction. Anhao¡¯s eyelids twitched. I¡¯m thinking, what do you like about me?¡± Hearing her strange question, Zuo Hancheng did not despise her childish and ridiculous thoughts. Instead, he looked at her curious and puzzled expression with a deep gaze and raised his hand to gently stroke her head. After a long while, he said meaningfully,¡±That¡¯s right. What exactly do I like about you ¡± Anhao was waiting to accept his confession, but he had deliberately poured a bucket of cold water on her. She was about to get up in anger, but Zuo Hancheng hugged her and refused to let go. Just as Anhao was about to push him, he chuckled and turned over to press her down on the bed. Anhao was about to struggle, but he suddenly held her down. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kisses had already covered the sky and covered the earth. When the long kiss ended, Anhao¡¯s face was flushed red. Zuo Hancheng looked down at her cheeks from above, his fingertips moving through her hair, his eyes dark and gentle.¡±Gu Anhao, it was you who forcefully barged into my world. Now you¡¯re asking me what I like about you?¡± Anhao¡¯s face tightened.¡± Too many women want to break into your world!¡± Then why can¡¯t anyone else break in, but me?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows and kissed her on the lips again, but it was a little fierce and punishing. In a moment, he pressed his lips against hers and said in a low and seductive voice,¡±¡±Then you can only blame yourself for being too capable ¡± ¡°What ability do I have?¡± Anhao blinked. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and suddenly pressed her hands on both sides of her body. When Anhao looked up at him in surprise, he said in a low voice,¡±¡±You have asked too many questions.¡± Chapter 755 - Chapter 755: Boss Zuo’s Little Wife (2) Chapter 755: Boss Zuo¡¯s Little Wife (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao wanted to get up immediately, but Zuo Hancheng pressed her down and refused to let go. She immediately begged,¡±¡±I¡¯ll get the hairdryer to dry your hair, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her exhausted and fearful expression and decided to let her go for now. However, letting her go now did not mean that he would let her go at night. Once Anhao was free, she quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom. She picked up the hairdryer and studied how to use it. After studying it for two minutes, she took it out. When she came out, Zuo Hancheng was already waiting by the bed. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched as she looked at his arrogant expression. She was still in a burning pain. Although Zuo Hancheng used to be domineering and brave in that aspect, he still took care of her more or less. How could he have taken care of her yesterday? It was simply a thousand cuts. It was as if she would not be satisfied if she did not torture her to death! Therefore, she would rather help him dry his hair and put on his clothes than be pressed here again. Well, if he really wanted to get rid of them, it would probably not be enough. Anhao walked over. Zuo Hancheng was about to lift his hand to hug her out of habit, but Anhao pushed his hand away unwillingly because of the burning sensation on her lower body.¡±Turn around!¡± It was rare for Zuo Hancheng to face Anhao with such an expression, but he did not mind her venting her anger at all. He even seemed to be in a good mood and turned around to cooperate with her. Anhao turned on the hairdryer, and the warm breeze blew on his head. She used her hand to stroke his black hair. When she thought of how Zuo Hancheng would blow dry her hair every time, she could not help but soften her grip. ¡°Will Bai Weiwei come today?¡± Anhao asked casually as she helped him dry his hair. ¡°Yes.¡± Although Zuo Hancheng was enjoying the little girl¡¯s service, his answer was very straightforward and he did not hide anything. Anhao pursed her lips. You didn¡¯t even tell me before. If Wenner didn¡¯t send me here, I wouldn¡¯t know what would happen here this afternoon.¡± ¡°What can happen?¡± ¡± Because nothing will happen,¡± Zuo Hancheng said softly.¡± So I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to tell you so that you can worry about it.¡±¡± ¡°Is Director Bai really not a threat to you?¡±Although Wenner had said before that Zuo Hancheng and Shengling Group¡¯s status could not be shaken by others, Anhao did not understand the so-called American power behind Zuo Hancheng, so she could not help but have some concerns. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Anhao smiled because of this answer. She felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hair was really good when she ran her hand through his hair. It was always so clean and comfortable to touch. He usually liked to stroke her hair, and she wondered if he felt the same way. After the blow-dry, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hair had been carefully trimmed and designed by the hairdresser to look natural and suitable for his hairstyle. He did not need to use any special hair wax to style his hair. Besides, he did not usually dress up his hair in a particularly orderly manner like the other young masters who dressed up like they were glossy outside. However, Anhao liked his clean, natural, and elegant appearance. A man who didn¡¯t even put on a deliberate act when he was handsome, and his every move was many times more perfect than those men who deliberately made their appearance. She really didn¡¯t know how to describe this man. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a proud son of heaven. Anhao turned around to help him take his clothes. Fortunately, the clothes that she had placed by the side of the cabinet were not really wrinkled by her. When she turned around, she saw Zuo Hancheng already standing by the bed and waiting. Seeing that he was actually enjoying himself, Anhao walked over awkwardly and helped him put on his clothes while saying,¡±¡±I¡¯m actually not very good at helping men wear shirts and suits. If there¡¯s anything wrong with what I¡¯m wearing, you have to tell me .¡± She knew that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s suit was different from the cheap ones on the market. She also knew that the clothes worn by people in the upper class had their own order and rules. She was only wearing an ordinary business style, and she was already careful not to wear the wrong one. If it was the three-piece style that was popular in the West, she probably would not wear it. However, she did not wear the wrong shirt because Zuo Hancheng looked at the shirt that she had already put on and his eyes were filled with satisfaction. After everything was done, Anhao was amazed by how handsome her husband was! Seeing Anhao¡¯s stunned expression, Zuo Hancheng chuckled and looked at her infatuated face. He said softly,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you take your tie?¡± ¡°Oh, right.¡± Anhao came back to her senses and quickly picked up the tie on the bed. After helping him put it around his neck, she hesitated for a moment and looked at the expensive tie in front of her in a daze. How do I tie it? Was it like a primary school student¡¯s red scarf? It was the way he tied a scarf. The necktie was wrapped around her hand a few times, and she kept trying to change the way she tied it, but it did not seem right. In the end, she had no choice but to look up at Zuo Hancheng, who had a helpless smile in his eyes.¡±I don¡¯t know how to tie ¡± As she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already raised his hand to free her hand from his tie. However, he did not let her put down her hand. Instead, he held her hand and tied the tie properly. Seeing her hand being held by him, Anhao¡¯s heart inexplicably beat violently a few times when she saw the shape of the tie tied by his strength and method. Zuo Hancheng always had the ability to make her heart beat faster and faster, even though he was only wearing a tie. Anhao steadied her thoughts and finally put down her hand after she tied her tie. After thinking about it, she raised her hand to help him adjust his collar and suit. Then, when her hand touched his tie again, she said,¡±I heard that tying a man¡¯s tie is usually the wife¡¯s privilege.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and casually adjusted the exquisite buttons on his sleeves. Then, he looked at her meaningfully.¡±So you should learn well.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression was a little strange. She had only blurted out this statement when she suddenly thought of it. Who would have thought that she would actually dig a pit for herself to jump into? Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s triumphant smile, she rolled her eyes at him.¡±Why should I? It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how to tie it yourself.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t you know that after being married for so long, this is the first time you¡¯ve helped your husband put on his clothes?¡±Zuo Hancheng stood in front of her as if it was a matter of course. He looked neat and elegant like an elite. He stood in front of her, whose cheeks were slightly hot, and lowered his head to whisper into her ear,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to wear clothes. Wearing a tie is a good choice for you.¡± Chapter 756 - Chapter 756: Boss Zuo’s Little Wife (3) Chapter 756: Boss Zuo¡¯s Little Wife (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao felt a little restless from the breath on his lips. Wearing a tie was such a trivial matter, but he could make it sound so ambiguous. This man was really a demon! However, she still took another look at his tie seriously. She had heard that there were actually many ways for men to tie their ties. There was a big difference between the way they tied their ties at the red and white banquet, and it was more like the difference between attending an important and grand meeting and some ordinary dinner parties. So, the way Zuo Hancheng tied his tie now should be the simplest and most ordinary way? She didn¡¯t know if it could be considered as her interest being piqued, but Anhao really planned to go home and surf the Internet or buy a book to check it out. Anhao was in a daze when she suddenly felt a pain on her forehead. She quickly raised her hand to cover her head and complained,¡±I¡¯m not a child anymore. Why are you flicking my head again?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t always be distracted. Go and tidy yourself up, Mrs. Zuo.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was still a little teasing, but the last three words sounded a little solemn and serious. Anhao turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. Zuo Hancheng was already fully dressed, but her hair was messy and her sportswear was wrinkled from being pressed against the bed by him. She quickly untied her hair and ran into the bathroom to comb her hair. The clothes she was wearing were still too casual. After all, she had only gone to see Gu Tianming previously and had no intention of dressing up. Now that she knew that she was going to meet Director Bai¡¯s family, it would probably be too late to change her clothes now. However, she could not use any other hairstyle, so she simply tied her hair into a neat ponytail. It looked simple and not messy. She then took a wet towel and wiped some of the less serious wrinkles on her clothes. After stretching it with her hands, she said, The mess from before could no longer be seen. Only then did he turn around and walk out. When he walked out of the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng had already opened the door to the lounge. Mobai was standing outside the door and talking to him about something. Of course, Mobai did not look inside. After all, he knew that Anhao was inside. The two of them had not come out for so long, so he could imagine what would happen inside. Of course, he did not dare to look inside now. Anhao had already packed up. Other than the fact that she had not put on any makeup, there was basically nothing that did not meet the standards of meeting Director Bai. However, it was just a normal visit. No matter how high the official rank was, the law did not require her to dress up to welcome him. ¡°I understand. Ask them to come up.¡±Zuo Hancheng said to Mobai lightly. Then, he turned around to look at Anhao because of the sound of her footsteps. Anhao¡¯s speed was very fast. Mobai saw Anhao walking over and smiled at her. However, it was obvious that Anhao¡¯s hair was much neater than when she came. It was obvious that she had just combed it up after being messed up. At this moment, silence was better than words. If Director Bai¡¯s family was not slow, how could they not see the degree of love between President Zuo and Mrs. Zuo? ¡°Then I¡¯ll ask them to come over directly.¡±Mobai said to Zuo Hancheng again before he turned around and walked out of the office. Anhao walked to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and saw that he was calmly looking in the direction of the office. It was obvious that he was not prepared for Director Bai¡¯s family¡¯s arrival. He had just taken a shower and changed his clothes because there were chemical fragments in the workshop that he had inspected previously. For some reason, although there was no one else in the office at the moment, Anhao did not have any intention of showing off her feelings to anyone. She just instinctively raised her hand and placed it on his arm. When Zuo Hancheng noticed the change in her mood and turned to look at her, she just stood quietly beside him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her calm expression. Anhao did not answer immediately. Instead, she noticed that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body was emitting the scent of her favorite shower gel. Because she often used this type of shower gel, she felt that this invisible intimacy was enough to make her smile. There were some things that did not need to be proven to anyone. It was just like how others felt that Zuo Hancheng should be standing next to a lady from a prominent family. They felt that Gu Anhao, who did not know her background, could not stand firmly on the identity of Mrs. Zuo. However, who would have thought that she and Zuo Hancheng would unknowingly get used to using the same shower gel, and their different tastes would gradually become one. Her taste was improving, and her confidence was no longer as simple and superficial as it was in her life. Zuo Hancheng had never really been affected by her. Instead, he made her feel that the man beside her was more real because of her. He really added warmth to her. ¡°Nothing much. I just suddenly feel that life is too unpredictable. If many people and many things are not cherished, no one knows if they will disappear forever in the next second.¡±Anhao said softly. Her attitude was obviously very casual, but Zuo Hancheng still caught the hint of emotion in her eyes. ¡°What did Gu Tianming say to you when you went to see him?¡±Zuo Hancheng had accurately detected the source of her emotions and asked calmly as he led her out of the resting room. ¡± Nothing much. We just talked about my mother. A person who loved me for fourteen years suddenly became such a ¡®life and death¡¯ relationship. All I was left with was the thought of never seeing her again, as well as countless inexplicable suspense.¡±Anhao chuckled as she said,¡±So I suddenly sighed.¡±¡± Seeing that she did not want to state it directly, Zuo Hancheng did not force her. However, Gu Tianming must have said something that shocked her to be able to make the usually strong-minded Anhao suddenly say such a thing. He must have shattered some of her stubborn worldviews. However, Director Bai and Madam Bai had already arrived at the door of the CEO¡¯s office. It was indeed not a convenient time to continue talking about these things with her. Outside the door. Mobai and Lin Qing led Director Bai and Madam Bai to the president¡¯s office. They were chatting and laughing. It was obvious that they had seen something interesting during the tour downstairs. They were discussing it happily with Lin Qing and Mobai. When they reached the office door, Mobai secretly gave Lin Qing a look. Lin Qing, who didn¡¯t know that Anhao was here, was stunned for a moment, but he still cooperated and invited Director Bai and Madam Bai in. ¡°President Zuo has been waiting for a long time since he returned from the R & D Workshop. Please come in.¡± As Lin Qing¡¯s voice fell, the office door opened. Director Bai and Madam Bai walked in with a smile. However, when they opened the door, they saw that Zuo Hancheng was not the only one waiting for them. Chapter 757 - Chapter 757: Mrs. Zuo’s Style (1) Chapter 757: Mrs. Zuo¡¯s Style (1) Translator: 549690339 Shengling Group was one of the top companies in the country. It was located in the most prosperous area of City A. The beginning of July was already a very hot season, and the building outside the floor-to-ceiling window reflected the cold sunlight. The air-conditioning in the spacious and bright office was turned on, making people feel a little cold as soon as they walked in. The moment Director Bai and Madam Bai opened the door, they saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tall figure standing in front of the window and looking out quietly. He wasn¡¯t the only one in the office. There was also a girl who looked especially bright and simple standing not far behind him. It seemed that the two of them had just talked about something. Although the air in the office was slightly cold, there was an inexplicable harmonious atmosphere between the two of them. This kind of harmony is very strange, clearly like Zuo Hancheng, this kind of person, standing beside him, this kind of person, like their family, daughter, that kind, whether it¡¯s family background or temperament, it can absolutely echo with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s aura, that kind of person, but this kind of temperament, simple and clean girl, unexpectedly makes people feel that they complement each other. Director Bai and Madam Bai looked at each other and did not think too much about it. Zuo Hancheng turned around in an instant and his gaze first fell on Director Bai, then on Madam Bai who was beside him. His cold and sharp gaze swept across them, and then revealed a trace of an incomprehensible yet seemingly polite smile. ¡°It¡¯s rare for Director Bai and Madam to visit Shengling Group, but I went to the R & D department¡¯s workshop before the two of you arrived. I¡¯ve made the two of you wait for a long time. It¡¯s really my negligence and my mistake in the itinerary.¡± Director Bai was indeed a little displeased by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deliberate neglect. After all, if Zuo Hancheng really valued the two elders the most, he would have come back to see them even if they were in the workshop at that time. However, they had to wait for more than an hour here. Now that they heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, although it did not seem to be intentional, even if the two elders of the Bai family were more or less uncomfortable, for the sake of their daughter who had been in a bad mood these past few days, they could only endure the neglect of this junior. It was better to get closer to Zuo Hancheng so that their daughter would not be so disappointed. Director Bai had never expected that he, who was so high and mighty, would have to be so tolerant to a young man in his early thirties for the sake of his daughter¡¯s marriage. However, Zuo Hancheng was indeed not a simple character. Otherwise, he would not have been so influential that no one in Beijing dared to stop him. ¡°It¡¯s okay. We also heard from Secretary Lin that there were some chemical contamination fragments in the workshop that you went to inspect previously. You rarely go there. Now that there¡¯s a newly developed product, you specially went to inspect it yourself.¡±Madam Bai smiled and tried to smooth things over. At the same time, her gaze fell on the girl who had also turned around in the office, but she was so quiet that she did not interrupt. Instead, she had a smile on her lips that was considered appropriate. The girl didn¡¯t deliberately blend in, but she didn¡¯t stand there expressionlessly. However, when she opened the door, the two of them felt an inexplicable sense of harmony, so Madam Bai couldn¡¯t help but ask casually when she walked in, This is the system command. An employee of your company? He looked quite young and was wearing sportswear. He should still be an intern, right?¡± When Lin Qing walked in and saw Anhao, he understood the look Mobai had given her. Lin Qing had been accompanying the Bai family¡¯s elders for a tour and was already very familiar with them. Hence, he walked up and smiled,¡±¡±This is Miss Gu, President Zuo¡¯s wife.¡± At this point, Lin Qing seemed to have not noticed Director Bai and Madam Bai¡¯s cold gazes. He looked at Anhao and said,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, this is Director Bai and Madam Bai from Beijing. You should have heard of them from President Zuo. It¡¯s all my fault. I forgot to tell Director Bai and Madam before entering the office. Mrs. Zuo is also here today. It¡¯s my fault for making you meet so abruptly.¡± Lin Qing¡¯s words were extremely tactful, but Director Bai still looked at this so-called Mrs. Zuo up and down in an instant. He immediately said,¡±¡±Hancheng¡¯s wife? He had never heard of Han Cheng getting married before. This kind of meeting was indeed very sudden.¡± Lin Qing had already said what he wanted to say. After all, Director Bai¡¯s words were obviously directed at President Zuo and Anhao, so she did not interrupt. She only took a step back and chose to remain silent with Mobai. However, when Madam Bai looked at Anhao from the side, she looked at her seriously for a while because she heard that she was actually Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. Looking at it carefully Why was it inexplicable He felt a sense of familiarity Anhao didn¡¯t notice the strange look in Madam Bai¡¯s eyes and thought that she was just as surprised by her existence as Director Bai. After Lin Qing introduced them, she nodded at them and smiled,¡±¡±I came to the company because I had something to do today. I didn¡¯t expect to meet Director Bai and Madam Bai so abruptly. If I had known that the two of you would come today, I would have been prepared.¡± Director Bai did not say much at first, but his gaze swept across Zuo Hancheng. He saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked over slowly, but it was obvious that he did not intend to explain himself because of the sudden appearance of Mrs. Zuo. Obviously, this was not a misunderstanding, but he was indeed married. Moreover, this Mrs. Zuo looked young and did not seem to have much experience, but her words clearly contained some politeness and coldness. What did he mean by not expecting them to come here today? The news that they would be visiting Shengling Group today had already been passed on to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s subordinates through his secretary last night. In other words, Zuo Hancheng did not tell his wife about their visit. This kind of neglect was not unintentional. Instead, it was not a big deal. As a leader from China Y, it was rare for him to receive such treatment, but he could not say a word. After all, the so-called inspection had nothing to do with the cooperation between the business and government. They had come for their daughter. Now that Mrs. Zuo had suddenly appeared, it meant that they did not have any legitimate purpose when they came. How could they really say anything now? However, the dissatisfaction in Director Bai¡¯s eyes was obvious. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was heard at the same time. ¡°Indeed, something came up at home, so I will bring my wife back to America tomorrow. Today, we are discussing about going back to America.¡± Chapter 758 - Chapter 758: Mrs. Zuo’s Style (2) Chapter 758: Mrs. Zuo¡¯s Style (2) Translator: 549690339 Back to America? It seemed that this so-called Mrs. Zuo was real. Otherwise, how could someone like Zuo Hancheng bring a random woman back to the Zuo family in the United States? If it was just Zuo Hancheng and Shengling Group, Director Bai would not have to give in to him. However, when it came to the Zuo family in the United States and the power behind Zuo Hancheng, Director Bai¡¯s anger was instantly suppressed. This kid was obviously trying to intimidate them, but he also stopped the topic before they mentioned Bai Weiwei, so that they wouldn¡¯t feel bad about it. That night at the entertainment city, they had noticed that Zuo Hancheng had something to hide from them, and the person who obstructed them was their daughter, Bai Weiwei. When they asked Bai Weiwei about it, the child did not say anything, but her mood had not been right since yesterday. It was not appropriate for Anhao to talk much at such an occasion. So, she stood still after greeting them and smiled politely at them. After that, she did not deliberately look at them anymore. As for Zuo Hancheng, as the owner of Shengling Group, it was normal for him to greet them politely, but the smile in his eyes was very restrained. Director Bai and Madam Bai were not ordinary people. They had been in the upper echelons of the upper class for many years, so it was impossible for them to not see through Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intentions. They had not investigated the matter of his marriage, but because of the status of the Bai family and their relationship in the political world, they had always left them some face. If they could not see the hidden sharpness and intentions of Zuo Hancheng now, Director Bai would have lived for fifty to sixty years in vain. Hence, Director Bai changed the topic very quickly. He directly moved away from Mrs. Zuo¡¯s matter and no longer touched on this sensitive topic. Instead, they discussed the matters of the few departments that they had visited earlier. Anhao saw that the topic they were discussing was indeed as Zuo Hancheng wished and she turned to look at Lin Qing. Lin Qing secretly gave her a look, meaning that President Zuo had always been very careful with the matters of the Bai family. Anhao¡¯s lips curled up and she didn¡¯t take it seriously. She knew that with Zuo Hancheng in front of her, everything would be fine. Now that she knew that the Bai family would not affect him much, she naturally did not have to worry about anything. However, for a man like Zuo Hancheng, it was inevitable that there would be too many women who wanted to have a relationship with him. The most important reason was that she, Mrs. Zuo, had no family background, and she did not have any particularly high achievements that could make those people submit to her and not dare to interfere again. Speaking of which, she could not let Zuo Hancheng protect her like this forever. If she wanted to secure her position as Mrs. Zuo, she had to do what she had to do. However, Anhao did not say anything and only listened to Director Bai¡¯s conversation. After feeling that these topics did not touch on the sensitive parts, Director Bai¡¯s attitude became much more natural. He was not like the father who wanted to find a good marriage for his daughter. Now, he looked like a country¡¯s director. Seeing that they were about to sit down on the sofa in the office, Lin Qing was about to make some tea when Anhao glanced at him. Lin Qing understood and didn¡¯t move. He only gave a look, meaning that there were some good tea leaves in President Zuo¡¯s office. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s office had tea specially prepared for politicians. She had seen it before when she was flipping through the drawers in his office out of boredom. She turned around and opened the drawer to find the tea leaves. A few minutes later, Anhao walked over with a cup of tea.¡±¡±Director Bai, we were really a little negligent previously. I don¡¯t know if making tea personally to apologize will make the two elders feel more relieved.¡± Anhao¡¯s words sounded like she was joking, but her words still showed that she took the two of them, who were of high status, seriously. She did not sound too arrogant, so Director Bai looked at her again and nodded lightly. It was only then that Anhao noticed the look in Madam Bai¡¯s eyes. She seemed to look at her from time to time. Every time Anhao looked at her, Madam Bai¡¯s eyes showed a trace of surprise, but she didn¡¯t avoid her gaze. Just like now, when Anhao brought the tea to them, Madam Bai was still looking at her. The surprise in her eyes was already mixed with some suspicion. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about tea. I only know that the collection in the office of Han City is the best West Lake Longjing tea. I don¡¯t know if it will suit your taste.¡±After Anhao finished speaking, she stood up and took a step back, no longer staying in the range of their conversation. However, once again, she felt Madam Bai¡¯s gaze. Anhao finally looked back at Madam Bai officially, and the two of them looked at each other from afar. However, after looking at each other for a while, Madam Bai suddenly smiled, but her smile was a little unnatural. The suspicion in her eyes was gradually hidden, which made Anhao start to doubt. What was Madam Bai looking at? Director Bai seemed to like the tea that Anhao brought over.¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, you¡¯re too kind. Although West Lake Longjing tea is famous in China, it¡¯s not something that can be bought with money. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll feel sorry for you for letting us drink the good stuff from Han City?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and looked at Anhao, as if he was waiting for her answer. Anhao smiled and said,¡±¡±Not to mention using this rare West Lake Longjing tea to entertain the two elders, even if I took out all of his treasured tea and secretly gave it to someone, he wouldn¡¯t dare to feel bad.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Lin Qing and Mobai, who were standing at the office table, secretly exchanged glances. They realized that Anhao was no longer the girl who would make them worry. Director Bai and Madam Bai did not reply immediately when they saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile that seemed to be helpless against Mrs. Zuo. After a while, Madam Bai put down the teacup she had just tasted and looked at Anhao with a clear gaze.¡±It seems that Mrs. Zuo and Hancheng are so loving. It really makes us, who are so old, envious.¡± As he spoke, Bai Fu¡¯s gaze swept over Anhao¡¯s body again. The young lady in front of him was dressed in a fresh and natural sporty style. She did not have any intention of showing off her identity as the wife of the CEO. However, Anhao¡¯s small earlobes were filled with love, which also showed that her identity was not ordinary. It was also obvious that Zuo Hancheng really doted on her. Chapter 759 - Chapter 759: Sweet Honey (1) Chapter 759: Sweet Honey (1) Translator: 549690339 In the eyes of these two experienced people, they did not need much advice to know that their daughter had already lost. Although they were unwilling to accept their loss, Director Bai and Madam Bai did not get angry because Mrs. Zuo was smart and clever, but she did not make people feel disgusted. After the topic stopped on Anhao for a while, they continued to discuss the serious matter they were discussing earlier. When Anhao took the opportunity to leave the office, Lin Qing and Mobai walked out at the same time. However, after Mobai received the call, he went straight to the elevator. Lin Qing accompanied Anhao to the office next door to get the information that President Zuo and Director Bai needed to see. As they walked, Lin Qing said,¡±¡±Actually, although Director Bai and Madam Bai are on the side of power, fortunately, they are both sensible people. They didn¡¯t know about President Zuo¡¯s marriage because Miss Bai deliberately hid it from them. Today, you, Madam Zuo, stood in front of them directly.¡± ¡°Actually, what I didn¡¯t expect was the attitude of the two elders of the Bai family. They actually looked very polite and weren¡¯t as difficult to deal with as I thought.¡± Lin Qing smiled and suddenly turned to look at Anhao,¡±¡±Do you know what people who stand at the top of power are most afraid of?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡± Afraid that someone would ignore his power? Afraid that someone would look down on him?¡±¡± ¡°Therefore, because of Miss Bai¡¯s deliberate concealment, this matter has been dragged on for so long, but President Zuo did not directly slap the face of the Bai family¡¯s elders in advance. Firstly, if the relationship is strained, no matter how capable President Zuo is, there is no need for the twists and turns in the middle. Secondly, as long as they see it clearly at the right time, everything in the middle will make them feel that it is too natural. They will not be able to see President Zuo¡¯s unreasonable and direct rejection. That was why the two elders of the Bai family were not too impulsive just now. Besides .¡± ¡°Director Bai and Madam Bai are actually not reasonable people. As long as they do not cross their bottom line, President Zuo originally planned to explain the matter of marriage to them directly today and had made arrangements in advance. However, these arrangements are not as good as Anhao standing here directly. Mobai and I were originally afraid that you would affect President Zuo¡¯s original plan, but we did not expect your performance to be so amazing. I can¡¯t even see your shadow from three years ago ¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. Then, she turned around and looked at the CEO¡¯s office not far behind her. She turned around and said softly,¡± I¡¯m actually a person who will become stronger when faced with the strong and become weaker when faced with the weak. If they are unreasonable, I naturally have unreasonable ways to deal with them. Anyway, as Wenner said, Zuo Hancheng will not be affected by the Bai family. However, since they were reasonable and didn¡¯t selfishly use their power to control Bai Weiwei because of her personal feelings, I naturally didn¡¯t want to cause any trouble.¡± Lin Qing didn¡¯t say anything else and just smiled faintly,¡±¡±Director Bai is a person who cares about his face. President Zuo has done things in a good way and you have made this matter worse today. As long as Director Bai is not old and muddle-headed, this matter will be settled today.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Lin Qing turned around and smiled at her before he walked into the office next door.¡±¡±It means that Miss Bai probably won¡¯t be coming today. Even if she¡¯s already downstairs, Director Bai will let her go back. Director Tangtang won¡¯t really let his daughter interfere in someone else¡¯s marriage and be a mistress, even if this man is President Zuo. Besides, Anhao, you .¡± At this point, Lin Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt. He directly voiced his doubts,¡±¡±Madam Bai seems to know you.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks.¡± ¡°Madam Bai kept looking at you just now. At first, she seemed to be examining you. Later on, for some reason, her gaze kept falling on you, but there was no hostility. I thought you two had met before.¡±As Lin Qing spoke, he took out the information that Zuo Hancheng needed from his office. When he walked out, he said softly,¡±¡±But maybe it¡¯s just my personal opinion. Maybe she¡¯s just judging who¡¯s more suitable for President Zuo between you and her daughter.¡± Anhao felt that it was probably just that, although the feeling Madam Bai gave her when she looked at her was indeed a little strange At 2:30 pm, Director Bai and Madam Bai left Shengling Group. They were not welcomed personally when they came, so when they left, Zuo Hancheng naturally brought Anhao out of the company to see them off. Madam Bai followed Director Bai into a black luxury van in front of the plaza. Madam Bai¡¯s gaze fell on Anhao again. Anhao immediately noticed Madam Bai¡¯s gaze, and the smile in her eyes deepened. Actually, she really wanted to ask what Madam Bai¡¯s gaze meant, but it was not the right time, so she didn¡¯t ask. Madam Bai looked at her for a while before she got into the car. She closed the door and tugged Director Bai¡¯s arm, saying softly,¡±¡±Do you think that Mrs. Zuo looks particularly familiar?¡± Director Bai looked out of the car and saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand wrapped around Mrs. Zuo¡¯s waist. His natural protective and caring attitude made Director Bai, who had been forcing a smile, sigh. ¡± It¡¯s rare for a young man to marry off his precious daughter, but he almost made things worse. Fortunately, Hancheng didn¡¯t come to embarrass us. On the other hand, Weiwei didn¡¯t say anything even though she knew that Hancheng was married. We can¡¯t let this go on. We should bring her back to Beijing as soon as possible. Don¡¯t let her go mad again, or else she¡¯ll bring about trouble.¡±¡± ¡°I know, I know. It¡¯s not easy to offend Zuo Hancheng. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have waited until now to talk about his daughter. But don¡¯t you think that Mrs. Zuo is especially like a person?¡± ¡°Like who?¡± Director Bai finally noticed the surprise in his wife¡¯s eyes. She had been tense because of her conversation with Zuo Hancheng in the room just now, lest she said something wrong and embarrassed herself in front of this young man or accidentally fell into some dirty tricks. Fortunately, she was able to escape unscathed, so she did not have to care about the changes in her wife. For so many years, he had only felt a sense of awkwardness from a young man like Zuo Hancheng. He was a dignified director of the country, but he had actually found a rare sense of crisis in a young man who seemed to be calm in every aspect. Who could understand this kind of appreciation? He could only blame Weiwei for not being fated with Zuo Hancheng. The black van had already left. Madam Bai whispered into Director Bai¡¯s ear,¡±¡±She looks like the one I met in America when I was young ¡° Chapter 760 - Chapter 760: Sweet Honey (2) Chapter 760: Sweet Honey (2) Translator: 549690339 When he returned to the CEO¡¯s office, a call came in. Zuo Hancheng went to answer the call. After hanging up, he had no intention of leaving the office to get busy. Instead, he glanced at Anhao, who seemed to have something on her mind.¡±What¡¯s wrong? You didn¡¯t eat your fill at noon? Why are you so listless?¡± Anhao looked up. Although she had lunch with Zuo Hancheng and the Bai family¡¯s elders at noon, even if Anhao had restrained her usual casual way of eating, she was still more or less full, and she ate the most. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude as if he was really going to feed a pig, Anhao rolled her eyes at him and said,¡±¡±Did you notice the look in Madam Bai¡¯s eyes?¡± Zuo Hancheng calmly took off his suit jacket and placed it on the swivel chair behind the desk. At the same time, he loosened his tie and said in a nonchalant voice,¡±¡±I noticed it. I¡¯ll send someone to investigate Madam Bai¡¯s situation later.¡± It seemed like she wasn¡¯t the only one who was sensitive. Lin Qing had noticed it, and even Zuo Hancheng, who seemed to have only been discussing business with Director Bai, had noticed it. ¡°But Mrs. Zuo ¡± Anhao was still explaining the matter of Madam when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words suddenly rang out in the air. When she came back to her senses, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already appeared in front of her. She was stunned. Because she was too close, she instinctively took a step back to prevent herself from falling. However, just as her legs were about to move, her waist suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm had already pulled her into his embrace. At the same time, he lowered his eyes to look into her clear eyes under her stunned gaze. ¡°Who told you that I wouldn¡¯t feel bad if you gave away all my precious things?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice carried a hint of a deep smile, and it was obvious that he did not really intend to pursue the matter. However, this oppressive feeling made Anhao feel that the words she said in front of the Bai family¡¯s elders just now seemed to have given Zuo Hancheng some benefits. However, since she had already said it, she could not take it back. Although she said it for others to hear, the truth was still the truth. ¡°I see that you don¡¯t usually drink much coffee or tea leaves. You¡¯re clearly used to drinking plain water. Not to mention that a high and mighty CEO like you has such an unexpected habit, even Director Bai probably didn¡¯t expect it. He must have thought that West Lake Longjing is your treasure. If I didn¡¯t exaggerate, he might even find an excuse to say something unpleasant to make things difficult for you.¡± Anhao pointed in the direction of his desk.¡±¡± Besides, that packet of tea leaves is placed at the inconspicuous position at the bottom of your desk. It¡¯s obviously something that you use to entertain politicians because you¡¯re too lazy to drink it. I¡¯m just exaggerating it a little bit to make them feel that I¡¯m valued.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng leaned in front of her and leaned so close to her that she could clearly feel his warm but familiar aura. ¡°So Mrs. Zuo¡¯s purpose is to help me out?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled. Although she did have such thoughts, Anhao still felt a little embarrassed after being teased by Zuo Hancheng. She was not the kind of person who was particularly good at expressing her feelings. She had always been taken care of by Zuo Hancheng. Even if she was no longer worried about the Bai family, she still did not want him to be restrained by others because of her. In her heart, she still wanted to help him in some way . However, she could not say anything after being teased like this. She did not have the kind of coquettishness that she would have when she leaned into his arms when she was drunk. She only raised her hand and tucked the stray hair behind her ear in embarrassment. She saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, which was right next to her, smiling in a good mood. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Anhao initially thought that Zuo Hancheng was a little touched, but his smile made her feel that he was up to no good. Perhaps it was because the man in front of her had always been too black-bellied, so she was always on guard against him setting up a trap for her again. ¡°I¡¯m thinking about the feeling of being protected by Mrs. Zuo.¡±Zuo Hancheng said meaningfully. At the same time, he curled his lips. His smiling face fell into her clear eyes, and his voice sounded as if he was in a good mood.¡±It seems that if one day I¡¯m no longer the CEO of the corporation that people fear, if one day I¡¯m so weak that I have to be protected by someone, Mrs. Zuo won¡¯t leave so easily.¡± For some reason, Anhao¡¯s heart was stabbed by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. She could not tell if it was sour or painful. Would Zuo Hancheng also become weak one day? A man like him who could pull out the needle and rush to her ward door even when he was seriously injured . Would a man like him, who could smile calmly no matter what kind of storm he faced and turn things around in an instant, also have a day when he was so fragile that he needed to be protected by her? ¡°Then I might ¡± After a long while, Anhao replied softly,¡±¡±You need to make yourself stronger in advance. The Mrs. Zuo in front of you now may not be capable enough.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and stroked her hair. At the same time, he kissed her on the lips, but it was not deep. It was not as passionate and entangled as it was in the resting room just now. It was just a gentle and loving kiss on her lips. Then, Anhao heard him say,¡±¡±Promise me that you will leave forever.¡± Anhao opened her misty eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Suddenly, she remembered the three years she had been away. In those three years, Zuo Hancheng did not call her once, nor did he send her an email or text message. She did not have any contact information at all. She even thought that he had changed his number and that she would never see him again. She thought that she would be ruthlessly divided into two parallel worlds and that she would never be able to feel his presence or find him again. She suddenly took the initiative to put her arms around his shoulders to kiss him back. Just as Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes darkened and he was about to lift her face with his palm to kiss her deeply, Anhao whispered,¡±¡±Then you have to promise me that you will never let me not find you.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep black eyes were right in front of her eyes. However, during those three years, she often felt that she could not get close to him in her dreams. Only she herself knew the feeling of not being able to touch the air around him. What responded to her was a sudden and fierce kiss from Zuo Hancheng. Anhao felt her back being knocked against the desk by him. She was about to cry out in pain, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand had placed on her waist in time to prevent her fragile waist from being hurt again. Just as Anhao thought that she would be carried into the resting room by him, a hurried ringtone interrupted her intimate moment. Chapter 761 - Chapter 761: Heart Arrest (1) Chapter 761: Heart Arrest (1) Translator: 549690339 Los Angeles, USA. It was already the afternoon of the third day when Anhao and Zuo Hancheng returned to America on the second day¡¯s flight. Anhao did not know who had called her when she was in the office, but she saw a rare trace of haze in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. The next day, they flew back to the United States as planned. What awaited them was the news that Zuo Yue had been locked up at home for five days and had been sent to the emergency room after fainting. She did not know if the phone call that Zuo Hancheng received had anything to do with Zuo Yue¡¯s matter, but the first thing they had to do when they returned to the United States was indeed to go back to the Zuo family. The matter of going to the An family was temporarily put on hold because of Zuo Yue¡¯s sudden accident. In a private hospital in Los Angeles that was specially opened for Chinese people, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng had just arrived at the door of the ward when they saw Father Zuo and Mother Zuo sitting there with a solemn expression. Hearing their footsteps, Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, was the first to look up. The moment she saw Anhao, her eyes froze, as if she did not expect her to come back with them.¡±Anhao ?¡± Mother Zuo slowly stood up. Her skin was so good that she used to take care of it. Recently, she seemed to be in no mood to take care of it. She looked haggard. However, when she saw Anhao, there was a trace of gratification and a smile in her eyes.¡±I didn¡¯t expect you to come back with us when something happened to the left family.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart was filled with mixed feelings as soon as Xu Yuan held her hand. The last time she saw her mother-in-law was before she hit Qi Weiran with her car. Later, she was brought back to Liu Jing Garden by Zuo Hancheng. However, Xu Yuan left early to take care of her mood, leaving her with a pot of warm and nutritious soup. She drank it for two days before finishing it. Xu Yuan was holding Anhao¡¯s hand. Although her eyes were a little dimmer than usual, at least they were much warmer because of Anhao¡¯s appearance. On the other side, when Zuo Hancheng walked up to Father Zuo, he saw that Father Zuo¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and asked calmly,¡±How did it go? When I received the call, she had just been sent to the emergency room. It has been almost two days now.¡± After hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Father Zuo¡¯s expression turned even uglier. He sighed and shook his head. Zuo Hancheng glanced at Father Zuo again, then looked up at the ward in front of him. This was a normal ward, not an ICU. Zuo Yue was staying in this ward now, which meant that she was out of danger. However, the sorrow in her parents ¡®eyes was so deep. ¡°I didn¡¯t delay anything by calling you and Han Cheng back at the last minute, right?¡±Xu Yuan held Anhao¡¯s hand and asked softly. Anhao shook her head gently.¡± I was planning to come back to America to take a look. The time has already been arranged.¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. We haven¡¯t recovered from the situation with Zuo Yue yet. Last night, the old man was so angry that his heart stopped. He was saved this morning and is still in a coma. If it affects you and Hancheng, we won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± Xu Yuan said as she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had already turned around and was walking over.¡±¡±Hancheng, don¡¯t worry about Zuo Yue. The old man just came out of the intensive care unit this morning. Although he is still unconscious, he is out of danger.¡± ¡°What exactly happened? Why did things suddenly turn out this way?¡±Zuo Hancheng saw the disappointment in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes and his eyes turned cold. In recent years, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s focus had been on China. Three years ago, he had almost cut off contact with the Zuo family because of what the old man had done to Rongxue. He had only a partial understanding of Zuo Yue¡¯s matter, but he had not come back to intervene. No one had expected such a big mess to happen overnight. Xu Yuan¡¯s expression was solemn. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was finally willing to come back, and then at Father Zuo, who was sitting outside the ward with a cold gaze. However, her hand was still holding Anhao¡¯s hand. Anhao could feel the warmth of Xu Yuan¡¯s hand, and she couldn¡¯t help but hold Xu Yuan¡¯s hand to give her warmth. Xu Yuan did not answer Zuo Hancheng¡¯s question. She only sighed.¡±¡±Go see your grandfather first.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He only looked at the pain in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes and his eyes darkened. Anhao felt that it might be because her parents had been traumatized by something these few days, and it was not convenient for them to explain the reason to Zuo Hancheng at the moment, or it might take too long to explain it, so she looked up at Zuo Hancheng and winked at him. She meant that she might as well listen to Xu Yuan and visit her grandfather first. Although Anhao knew that the estrangement between Zuo Hancheng and the old man was more serious than the estrangement when he returned to the Zuo family three years ago, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother said that his grandfather had a sudden cardiac arrest last night and was only rescued after a night. He was still in a coma now. This was not a small matter. If there was any deviation, no matter how estranged it was, it would be far from being separated by life and death. She knew that Zuo Hancheng could not tolerate the old man, but she also knew that Zuo Hancheng had grown up by the old man¡¯s side. No matter what, since they were not divorced, and she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family, she should listen to Xu Yuan¡¯s arrangement and let Zuo Hancheng visit the old man first. ¡°Grandfather is already in his eighties. Since there is nothing important on Zuo Yue¡¯s side, then let¡¯s go and see grandfather first.¡±Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was unmoved, Anhao realized that Zuo Hancheng could be stubborn. She could only turn around and walk to his side. She raised her hand to hold his arm and whispered,¡±¡±I heard that cardiac arrest is a narrow escape ¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He merely glanced at Anhao, who was standing beside him and persuading him in a very soft voice. This ruffian girl who had once dared to confront the old master actually had a softer side than he had imagined. Xu Yuan did not have the time to say anything else. She just turned around and wiped her tears. However, this action made Anhao¡¯s heart tremble slightly. She felt that what happened to Zuo Yue was definitely not a simple matter. Otherwise, how could a wealthy and powerful person like Zuo¡¯s father and mother be so easily crushed? How could they become so haggard in an instant? Also, the old man was so angry that his heart stopped. It was definitely not as simple as being angry because of Zuo Yue¡¯s hunger strike. She knew that Zuo Hancheng wouldn¡¯t have thought of this, so Anhao¡¯s hand gently tugged at his arm.¡±¡±Accompany me to see grandpa ¡± Her voice was not loud, and she looked up as she spoke. She saw that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned cold. Perhaps he had already guessed what had happened to Zuo Yue. Chapter 762 - Chapter 762: Heart Arrest (2) Chapter 762: Heart Arrest (2) Translator: 549690339 In the end, Zuo Hancheng was dragged away by Anhao. After asking which floor Old Master Zuo¡¯s ward was on, Anhao¡¯s hand was glued to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arm and refused to let go. ¡°You want to pull off my entire arm?¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly spoke when they were walking out of the elevator. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched, and she finally let go of his arm. However, just as her hand was about to fall, he suddenly grabbed it. ¡± I¡¯m not like a young man in his early twenties who can¡¯t tell what¡¯s important and what¡¯s not. However, regarding the old man and the relationship between the Zuo family and Shengling Group, it¡¯s not something that can be easily resolved by emotions alone. You don¡¯t have to interfere in the old man¡¯s affairs.¡± Of course, Anhao understood that Shengling Group had long been separated from the Zuo family¡¯s business branch due to the old man¡¯s resistance. There should be some people in the same generation as Father Zuo who wanted to get a share of the profits. However, no matter how angry the old man was, he still chose Zuo Hancheng as the heir. The grandfather and grandson had their own principles. They had only met a few times in the past eight years. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heartlessness and the old man¡¯s stubbornness were indeed a big problem that she could not interfere with. ¡°I only saw tears in Mom¡¯s eyes just now. She must have not thought of how to explain the situation in detail yet. She must have her reasons for asking us to come and see Grandpa. If you had asked any more questions just now, I think Mom would have cried in front of us.¡±Anhao explained as he led her towards the old man¡¯s ward. ¡°It is indeed a ridiculous story that cannot be easily told to others.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly and led Anhao to the ward at the end of the corridor while she was still in shock. What he meant was that he had already guessed what had happened to the Zuo family? This ward was the room with the best lighting on this floor. It was very quiet and there were specialized doctors and nurses on duty. As soon as Zuo Hancheng and Anhao walked over, Uncle Chen, who was explaining something to a few senior nurses at the door, saw their figures. He immediately looked up in surprise, but the surprise in his eyes was only for a moment. When Zuo Hancheng approached, he called out respectfully,¡±Mister Zuo.¡± When he saw Anhao again, Uncle Chen obviously didn¡¯t expect this little girl to appear here. The old man had sent people to investigate and heard that Mr. Zuo and Gu Anhao had divorced. Moreover, this little girl seemed to have studied in Boston for a few years. He did not expect her to appear here at the same time. Uncle Chen looked at Anhao and was deep in thought. Although he didn¡¯t greet her, Anhao knew that Uncle Chen was the old man¡¯s man. Even if he was just a butler, he was still considered one of the elders in the Zuo family due to the old man¡¯s face. So she nodded at Uncle Chen and took the initiative to say,¡±Uncle Chen.¡± Uncle Chen¡¯s attention did not stay on her for long. After all, that was not the main problem now. He only nodded and instructed the senior nurse beside him,¡±Go and make some porridge that melts in your mouth. If you¡¯re not used to making Chinese porridge, find someone who knows how to make it. It must be soft. Even if it can¡¯t reach the point of melting in your mouth, it must be easy to digest.¡± The high-level nurses nodded and turned to leave. Uncle Chen then nodded respectfully at Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, if the old man knew that you were back, he would be very happy. However, he hasn¡¯t woken up yet. The doctor has checked the old man¡¯s current physical condition and said that he would wake up in three days at the latest.¡± Before Zuo Hancheng could ask anything, Uncle Chen had already told him about the old man¡¯s current situation. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the door of the ward and said,¡±¡±How serious is the matter?¡± Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment before he suddenly looked at Anhao who was standing beside Zuo Hancheng. Sensing the distance in Uncle Chen¡¯s eyes, Anhao was about to step away, but before she could move, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. ¡°Anhao isn¡¯t an outsider. Uncle Chen, don¡¯t be as stubborn as the old man.¡±There was not much coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, but it was a clear warning. Uncle Chen hesitated for a moment before sighing softly. He turned around and walked to a quiet resting room opposite the ward. Because the old man was staying on this floor, the wards on this floor were basically restricted. There were no family members or other outsiders walking back and forth. Moreover, hospitals abroad were not as noisy and messy as those in China. This floor was already very quiet. Now that she had entered this exclusive resting room for escorts, apart from the silence, she also saw the look in Uncle Chen¡¯s eyes that seemed to be at a loss for words. Anhao felt that it was really strange. What could it be that would make a powerful member of the Zuo family so embarrassed to speak? ¡°It¡¯s because Miss Sun was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment after she fainted. In the end, when she was given emergency treatment, the doctor found out that she was already more than three months pregnant ¡± Hearing the word ¡®pregnant,¡¯ she was instantly shocked. Zuo Yue¡¯s flamboyant and energetic face flashed across her mind. Although it was indeed shocking, Zuo Yue was already 22 years old. Even if she got pregnant before marriage, it would not make the old man so angry. However, when Zuo Hancheng heard Uncle Chen¡¯s words, his expression instantly turned as cold as ice. Seeing the look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, Uncle Chen guessed that he must have noticed Zuo Yue¡¯s strange behavior a long time ago, so he did not say anything more. He just stood respectfully in front of him with a helpless look in his eyes. ¡°Three months?¡± Zuo Hancheng narrowed his eyes coldly.¡± Zuo Yue was brought back to the Zuo family more than a month ago. She was also confined to her room and was not allowed to go out since then. She has been on a hunger strike since then and was only sent to the emergency room now. Even if she is really pregnant, can the child still live until now?¡± ¡°Speaking of which, the child in Miss Sun¡¯s stomach is really shockingly strong. From the day before yesterday when Miss Sun was found unconscious in her room and sent to the emergency room, the doctor diagnosed the number of weeks she was pregnant. Moreover, Miss Sun already showed signs of a threatened miscarriage, but the child was still saved.¡± Uncle Chen said as he looked at Anhao. His eyes also glanced at her belly. Although it was just a polite glance, it was obviously mocking her for being married to Zuo Hancheng for so long. In the end, her so-called pregnant belly had not really heard anything until now. Even though Zuo Yue¡¯s pregnancy was confusing, Uncle Chen¡¯s mocking gaze was indeed a person close to the old master. He always pinched her sore spot. Anhao pretended not to notice the look in Uncle Chen¡¯s eyes, but Zuo Hancheng had already blocked her from view. Anhao could not see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression at this moment, but she could hear the warning in his cold voice,¡±¡±Uncle Chen, watch your boundaries.¡± Chapter 763 - Chapter 763: Chapter 763: The Taboo of the Wealthy Class (1) Chapter 763: Chapter 763: The Taboo of the Wealthy Class (1) Translator: 549690339 After hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warning and looking at his cold gaze, Uncle Chen did not say anything more and only lowered his head apologetically. ¡°Mr. Zuo, I just want to explain Miss Sun¡¯s current situation and the reason why Old Master was so angry that he almost died last night.¡± ¡°No matter what you want to explain, you should keep your words to yourself. Don¡¯t deviate from the direction that you shouldn¡¯t.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were still filled with warning. Anhao stood behind Zuo Hancheng and did not say anything. Who knew how many times the Vajra Gourd Baby, whom she had accidentally lost three years ago, had come to her in her dreams over the past three years? Not saying anything did not mean that she was not sad. However, the thorn in her heart had been picked out by Uncle Chen. Now, even if Zuo Hancheng wanted to do something to Uncle Chen, she would not stop him. As an old man, there were indeed too many things that he should not have done with that glance just now. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Gu.¡± Even though Uncle Chen was the old man¡¯s man, he could not stand the pressure from Zuo Hancheng. In the end, he could only give up his identity as the old man in the family and say this to Anhao. However, what he received was another cold glare from Zuo Hancheng. Uncle Chen suddenly felt helpless. This Mr. Zuo was so protective of a girl who was not related to the Zuo family. Now, even if the old man woke up, he would probably faint from anger again. However, Uncle Chen had no choice but to change his tone respectfully.¡±Mrs. Zuo.¡± Anhao did not respond. The way the Zuo family was addressed was more profound than the descriptions in the television dramas and novels that she had seen before. Moreover, it was said by Uncle Chen. First, she was not used to it. Secondly, Uncle Chen¡¯s tone was obviously changed because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face. Therefore, she did not have to respond to this because of others ¡®coercion. However, Zuo Hancheng knew how Anhao was feeling at the moment. He did not let the topic continue and changed the topic.¡±Who is the father of the child?¡± Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment. It was only after a few seconds that he realized that he was asking about the child in Zuo Yue¡¯s stomach. His eyes flickered a little, and then he sighed. ¡°Xu Chengfeng?¡± Anhao did not find the name that Zuo Hancheng blurted out strange, but Uncle Chen¡¯s face stiffened instantly. Then, he nodded slowly. Anhao instantly felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s originally calm attitude had turned murderous. She stood behind him and felt the tension on his back. She looked at Uncle Chen in confusion and saw that Uncle Chen was standing there without saying a word, but there was an indescribable feeling in his eyes. ¡°Is the old master angry to this extent because he knows about the matter?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Uncle Chen¡¯s voice was still filled with helplessness.¡± Don¡¯t even talk about the old man who¡¯s so old. He¡¯s always been healthy, but he still couldn¡¯t take such a blow. Even your father and mother almost couldn¡¯t walk out of this. If it weren¡¯t for Miss Sun and the old man being hospitalized, they would have to be the backbone to support themselves ¡± Uncle Chen could not continue. Anhao was confused when Zuo Hancheng suddenly turned around and walked out. Anhao quickly followed him out. When Zuo Hancheng passed by the door of the old man¡¯s ward, he only stopped for a moment before continuing to walk forward. Anhao followed behind him. Due to the difference in height, he walked very quickly, so she could only jog to keep up. After a few steps, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have noticed that she was jogging, so he slowed down his pace. When Anhao finally caught up with him and raised her hand to grab his sleeve, he suddenly said,¡±You don¡¯t have to go back to the Zuo family for the next two days. I¡¯ll send someone to arrange a hotel for you nearby.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t care if she went back to the Zuo family or not. Now that everyone was in the hospital, it was obviously not the case for her to go back to the Zuo family to enjoy herself. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude clearly indicated that he was going to deal with something. She did not know who the person who had made Zuo Yue pregnant was, but to be able to make the dignified Zuo family fall into such a strange atmosphere in an instant, this person was definitely not simple. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me. It¡¯s not night yet, and I¡¯m not in a hurry to go anywhere. Besides, I¡¯m not a child, so you don¡¯t have to send someone to book a hotel for me.¡±Anhao said as she followed him into the elevator. When the elevator door closed, she grabbed his arm and whispered,¡±¡±Is Zuo Yue¡¯s matter very complicated? Who is that Xu something you mentioned just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not speak for a while. It was not until the elevator reached the first floor that Anhao noticed that they did not go to the floor where Zuo Yue¡¯s ward was located. When they walked out of the elevator, Zuo Han still didn¡¯t answer, but Anhao could clearly feel the anger of this man who wouldn¡¯t frown even if the sky fell. Although he tried his best to control himself in front of her, Anhao still followed behind him before they walked out of the hospital and asked softly,¡±¡±Dad and Mom are still up there. Zuo Yue Aren¡¯t you going to take a look?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but he suddenly stopped when he was walking down the stairs in front of the hospital. Anhao had been paying attention to his movements, so she followed him and stopped in time. She stood beside him and looked at his deep eyes. Although she couldn¡¯t tell what he was thinking, the coldness emitted from his body was still clear. ¡°Don¡¯t mind what happened to Uncle Chen just now.¡±He suddenly said a sentence and his gaze fell on her face. Anhao was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said,¡±¡±You stood in front of me before I felt hurt. If I really cared, do you think I would be so quiet? I would have rebuked him a long time ago. I didn¡¯t care if he was Old Master¡¯s man.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze did not change, but he raised his hand and stroked her head.¡±¡±The matter of accompanying you back to the An family may have to be put on hold for a few days. Zuo Yue¡¯s situation is too sudden. Although I don¡¯t want you to suffer, I might really have to put the Zuo family first this time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry about the Andersons. I just happen to need some time to prepare myself mentally. But who was Xu Chengfeng?¡±Although she felt that Zuo Hancheng did not particularly want to talk about this person, Anhao did not want to continue asking, but she could not help but ask. After asking, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was just looking at her quietly. She felt that there might be something in the Zuo family that could not be touched. So, she shrugged her shoulders in relief and took the initiative to change the topic.¡±You want me to stay in a nearby hotel first. What about you?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng slowly walked down the last few steps in front of the hospital and did not answer. His eyes were slightly cold and his expression was clear. His voice suddenly sounded faintly,¡±He¡¯s my mother¡¯s younger brother.¡± Chapter 764 - Chapter 764: The Taboo of Wealthy Families (2) Chapter 764: The Taboo of Wealthy Families (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was stunned for a while. Mother¡¯s . Younger brother? That was Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle? Uncle? Anhao¡¯s brain buzzed in an instant. She suddenly looked up at Zuo Hancheng, whose eyes were as calm as smoke. However, he used this method to confirm the terrifying thoughts that were reflected in her heart. Two hours later, Zuo Hancheng arranged for Anhao to stay in a high-class hotel near the hospital. Anhao knew that he had something to deal with now. Since he had arranged for her to stay in the hotel, she did not want to cause any trouble, so she stayed there obediently. She pulled open the curtains and looked at the Chinese hospital not far away. Ever since she found out that Xu Chengfeng was Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, her mind had been in a mess. She still remembered that when she bumped into Zuo Yue in Boston, the man whom Anhao had mistaken for her boyfriend had a strange expression on his face, and neither of them admitted that they were in a relationship. If that man was Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, he would be at most in his early thirties. A long time ago, he seemed to have heard Zuo Yue call him uncle. So this uncle was the younger brother who had a huge age gap with Zuo Yue¡¯s mother? Could it be that he was an old man? No, she was so agitated that her mind was in a complete mess. No matter what happened to Xu Chengfeng, he was Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan¡¯s younger brother, and Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle. No wonder the Zuo family was so agitated when the relationship between uncle and niece became like this. The law stipulated that close relatives were not allowed to get married. Even in western countries, such a thing was absolutely not allowed to happen between an uncle and a niece. This was . It was a mess No matter what, Zuo Yue was not a person without a mind of her own. On the contrary, although Zuo Yue was only one year younger than him, she was smart and quick-witted. Although she was not liked by the old man at home because she did not listen to his words, the blood relationship between grandfather and grandson was clearly visible. How could such an unbelievable thing happen? Thinking about it this way, it was indeed not strange for the stubborn old man to be so angry that his heart stopped. Night fell. Zuo Hancheng had not returned yet, and Anhao knew that there was no need for her to worry about him, so she packed some simple luggage that they had brought back to America and ate some dinner provided by the hotel. Although they did not eat much, the service of the hotel was very good. When Anhao asked them to help make a few light dinners, they did as she said. After all, he had lived in America for three years. Although he had always lived in an apartment and had never stayed in a hotel, he was no longer unfamiliar with the customs of this foreign country. When the sky turned completely dark, it was almost seven o¡¯clock in the evening. Anhao took the packed dinner that the hotel staff sent her and went to the hospital not far away. Father Zuo and Mother Zuo were still standing guard outside Zuo Yue¡¯s ward. Anhao knew that even if the old man woke up, he would only be able to eat porridge, so she did not go to the old man¡¯s place first. Instead, she placed the dinner beside Mother Zuo and Xu Yuan and said softly,¡±¡±Mom, eat something. You and Dad have been guarding here all this time. You must not have eaten well or slept well these past few days.¡± Xu Yuan looked at Anhao, who had lost her innocence and immaturity in the past three years, and a trace of relief gradually appeared in her originally dim eyes.¡±Good child, I¡¯m not hungry. Leave it here for now.¡± Anhao paused for a moment without saying anything, then turned to look at Father Zuo. Ever since she came back today, although Father Zuo had glanced at her a few times, he was obviously so exhausted that he did not have the mood to talk to his daughter-in-law, whom he had not seen for many years. Previously, he only gave her a few polite looks. At this moment, Father Zuo saw Anhao sitting next to Xu Yuan. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were holding hands. He sighed.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s age isn¡¯t much different from you, Anhao. When you first entered the Zuo family, you weren¡¯t even twenty years old. Even if we think that you¡¯re indeed a little too young, you¡¯re still a child who¡¯s very clever and won¡¯t do anything that will make people worry. On the other hand, Zuo Yue .¡± At this point, Father Zuo suddenly looked at Mother Zuo. He was obviously dissatisfied with her. Although the other party was her brother, he could not blame her all. In the end, he only looked away. However, the meaning in his eyes still made Mother Zuo¡¯s expression even more uncomfortable. ¡°For such a thing to happen, it is definitely unacceptable for the Zuo family. However, Zuo Yue is our family after all, and she is also your darling. Although I don¡¯t know if I should say more, I still want to say that no matter what, I can¡¯t hurt Zuo Yue a second time. If there¡¯s any way, we¡¯ll think of it together. If Zuo Yue was forced ¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Father Zuo¡¯s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. Although Father Zuo did not say anything, Anhao could see the rejection in Father Zuo¡¯s heart. Besides, with Zuo Yue¡¯s personality, how could she be forced? If it was forced, it was more likely that Zuo Yue had forced that uncle Of course, Anhao couldn¡¯t say that. She just held Zuo¡¯s mother¡¯s slightly cold hand and stopped talking about the topic just now. She said softly,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know which restaurant has good food near this hospital, so I asked them to make more dinner at the hotel I¡¯m staying at. After all, I¡¯ve already tasted the food in the hotel. It¡¯s very good, but I packed Chinese dishes. They¡¯re very light. Mom, you and Dad should eat more or less.¡± ¡°I know you are filial.¡±Mrs. Zuo sighed and said,¡± But I really can¡¯t eat. Anhao, I heard that before you left A City three years ago, you had a car accident with Hancheng. Although Hancheng didn¡¯t give us any explanation for this incident, Mom was also very anxious at that time. She almost flew back to A City to see you. You must have been seriously injured at that time, right?¡± Anhao smiled.¡± It¡¯s all in the past. Actually, it can¡¯t be considered a serious injury. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t be sitting here safe and sound to talk to you and Dad.¡±¡± Mrs. Zuo held her hand tightly.¡± I thought you couldn¡¯t be the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. It seems that Hancheng still has a way to keep you by his side. In the end, he left us a good daughter-in-law.¡± At this moment, the Zuo family is in a rare mess. You¡¯ve become the only existence that can make us feel gratified. If the old man knows that you¡¯re more likable than before, even if you didn¡¯t give birth to the child of the Zuo family, the old man would not reject you anymore.¡± Chapter 765 - Chapter 765: The Taboo of Wealthy Families (3) Chapter 765: The Taboo of Wealthy Families (3) Translator: 549690339 Hearing this, Anhao¡¯s gaze was more or less subtle. Back then, it was because she was pregnant that the old man did not chase her out of the Zuo family. Now that Zuo Yue was in trouble, the old man was still in a coma. She did not know if the old man would be agitated again when he woke up. However, Anhao didn¡¯t want to think too much about it. However, from Mother Zuo¡¯s words, she could tell that they probably knew that the child in her stomach couldn¡¯t be saved in the car accident. Now, the pity in Mother Zuo¡¯s eyes warmed Anhao¡¯s heart. Anhao leaned her head on Mrs. Zuo¡¯s shoulder, just like how she leaned on her mother¡¯s shoulder when she was young. She said softly,¡±¡±The most important thing now is that Grandpa and Zuo Yue can be discharged from the hospital in good health. No matter how unhappy or unspeakable things are in between, at least we can talk behind closed doors because we are a family and we can always solve the problem.¡± When Anhao said this, Zuo Hancheng suddenly appeared in the corridor of the hospital. At the same time, he heard Anhao say ¡± family ¡°. His originally dark expression gradually warmed up because of the soft and caring words she said while leaning on Xu Yuan¡¯s shoulder. Anhao did not notice that Zuo Hancheng had returned. She leaned on Mother Zuo¡¯s shoulder and said softly,¡±¡±Mom, Zuo Yue is your daughter. No matter what she did wrong, no matter how much you hate her, you definitely won¡¯t really blame her. Therefore, it was useless to sit outside and worry. It was better to wait for Zuo Yue to wake up and her body to feel better before asking her about the whole thing. I think she definitely doesn¡¯t know that she¡¯s pregnant. Now that something like this has happened, she might tell you the truth ¡± Xu Yuan sighed.¡± It would be great if Zuo Yue was as sensible as you. She liked to go around acting wildly since she was young, and she didn¡¯t listen to us. When she ran away from home and suddenly ran to A City, it was because something happened when she was studying outside. After that, she especially didn¡¯t like to go to school for a period of time. She was forced by us and actually ran away from home. If it wasn¡¯t for you and Hancheng keeping her in A City, I don¡¯t know where she would have run off to.¡± At this point, Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red.¡± This is also my fault. At that time, in a fit of anger, I arranged for Zuo Yue to stay in the school for a long time. I originally planned to let her temper herself in school so that she wouldn¡¯t have the temper of a young miss because she was always spoiled by the Zuo family. At that time, I only thought that with her uncle in the city where she went to school, there would be someone to take care of her if anything happened. I didn¡¯t expect that after taking care of her for a few years, she actually .¡± Father Zuo suddenly stood up because a doctor came out from the opposite side. As the doctor approached, he suddenly went forward and asked,¡±Can we abort the child in our daughter¡¯s stomach?¡± Father Zuo¡¯s voice wasn¡¯t loud but his words were shocking. Anhao suddenly looked up at Father Zuo¡¯s determined back. Mother Zuo suddenly frowned but held Anhao¡¯s hand and didn¡¯t let her get up. This hospital was a Chinese hospital, so most of the doctors were Chinese or Chinese. They spoke Chinese fluently. When they heard Father Zuo¡¯s words, they still could not understand why the patient¡¯s father would make the decision to abort the child in his daughter¡¯s stomach. One had to know how much energy and effort they had expended to save the child during the emergency treatment. ¡°Old Mister Zuo.¡± The doctor said politely,¡± Ms. Zuo¡¯s physical condition is not suitable for any more harm. The child has been saved, and her body has not recovered yet. If we do an abortion at this time, no one can guarantee the consequences.¡± As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng suddenly walked over. It was only then that Anhao realized that Zuo Hancheng had returned. She immediately looked up at him in surprise. ¡°The most important thing now is not to let Zuo Yue abort the child.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent voice cut into the silent atmosphere. Hearing the voice, Father Zuo turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng. His old face immediately looked a little disappointed.¡± Han City, I don¡¯t wish for more people to know about this. Anhao is our daughter-in-law. It¡¯s fine if she knows about it, but the others ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly as he glanced in Anhao¡¯s direction. Anhao was still sitting together with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother. When she caught Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she knew that he wanted to ask her why she did not have a good rest in the hotel. Anhao pointed at the takeaway boxes beside the seat and mouthed,¡±¡±I¡¯m here to deliver food.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes warmed up when he saw Anhao¡¯s careful way of speaking. Anhao knew that Zuo Hancheng did not want her to be involved in these matters. Her parents were already exhausted and had asked her to stay in a hotel to avoid being distracted by her. After all, there were many things that needed to be dealt with in the Zuo family, including the Zuo family¡¯s assets that were still under her father¡¯s name. Zuo Hancheng had to take care of them temporarily. Although it was only temporary, as the only legitimate heir of the Zuo family, no one dared to say no whether he was managing them or directly interfering. Although Anhao did not know where Zuo Hancheng had been for the entire afternoon, she could tell that he had been in Los Angeles since he did not look travel-worn from his clothes. At this moment, Father Zuo was still asking the doctor,¡±Then when can we abort the child? At that time, when Zuo Yue was receiving emergency treatment, none of us knew who the father of the child was. Moreover, I was not at the door of the emergency room at that time. It was my wife who asked you to help keep the child temporarily. But now, we regret it. We can¡¯t keep this child. We definitely can¡¯t keep him ¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo, your daughter is an adult. She is still unconscious and cannot make any decisions about the child in her womb. Since the child has already been kept, the abortion operation can only be carried out after she wakes up and her condition is stable. Moreover, we must get her to sign the agreement herself before we can carry out the operation.¡±the doctor said. Father Zuo¡¯s expression was ugly.¡± We¡¯re her parents. There¡¯s nothing wrong with us making this kind of decision. We won¡¯t harm our child.¡±¡± ¡°But the child in Miss Zuo¡¯s stomach is her own child.¡±The doctor¡¯s attitude was very respectful, but his tone was also unquestionable. After the doctor finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the doctor. The doctor received his gaze and nodded politely. After nodding to Father Zuo, he turned around and left with the nurse who came over to urge him. Seeing the doctor walk away, Father Zuo, who usually looked old but still tall and straight, looked much older now. He shook his head helplessly. Chapter 766 - Chapter 766: Behind Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 766: Behind Zuo Hancheng (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°There¡¯s no need to make things difficult for the doctor now.¡±Zuo Hancheng spoke at this moment. At the same time, he glanced in the direction of the ward door.¡±They also made arrangements based on the condition of Zuo Yue¡¯s body.¡± In fact, Father Zuo was just unable to bear this feeling and suggested it to the doctor. If he really insisted on it, the doctor would definitely have no choice but to comply. After all, the Zuo family had power here. If Father Zuo forced them to arrange this abortion operation, even if Zuo Yue might die on the operating table, no one would be able to refuse. However, Zuo Yue had not woken up yet. There was definitely a risk in the surgery, so Father Zuo could only stand on the spot with an ugly expression. He did not make too many requests. Father Zuo didn¡¯t speak anymore, but Zuo Hancheng glanced at him.¡±How long has Zuo Yue been unconscious?¡± ¡°He suddenly fainted in his room because he had been on a hunger strike for five days. He hasn¡¯t woken up since Mother Wang found him.¡±As Father Zuo replied, the haggardness on his face was extremely obvious.¡±We can tolerate things like getting pregnant before marriage. After all, we¡¯re in the United States, so we don¡¯t have so many feudal thoughts. However, we definitely can¡¯t keep this child.¡± At this point, Father Zuo looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.¡± Hancheng, let¡¯s not talk about the blood relationship between Xu Chengfeng and Zuo Yue. Xu Chengfeng is not a simple person. He might not know that Zuo Yue is pregnant. After all, he personally sent Zuo Yue back and asked us to keep a close eye on her. He also said that he would temporarily go to Russia to deal with his business in the next few years and would not have time to come back. He is obviously trying to distance himself from Zuo Yue. However, Zuo Yue has been refusing to eat ever since she came back.¡± ¡°We suspect that Xu Chengfeng did not know about Zuo Yue¡¯s pregnancy. Secondly, Zuo Yue might have taken the initiative. We don¡¯t know that Xu Chengfeng has not left the United States yet. If he finds out that Zuo Yue is pregnant, and if he finds out that we want to abort the child, who knows what will happen. What kind of person is Xu Chengfeng? You know how powerful he is. We can¡¯t let Zuo Yue be implicated.¡± ¡°Han Cheng, you have a lot of connections in that area. You must suppress all the news related to this matter, or the consequences will be unpredictable.¡± After Father Zuo finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, but from Anhao¡¯s angle, she could see a trace of fog in his eyes. No matter who that uncle was, what kind of connections did Father Zuo have Zuo Hancheng use? Before he could answer, a doctor and nurse were already walking toward him from the elevator not far away.¡±Old Master Zuo is awake.¡± Mr. Zuo immediately turned around to look at the doctor. Seeing the certainty in the doctor¡¯s eyes, he immediately felt the burden on his shoulders lighten a little. Anhao also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although the Zuo family seemed to be in chaos for the time being because of Zuo Yue¡¯s matter, there was no tragedy of family destruction. Four days later. The Zuo family in the United States. This time, Anhao was not in the mood to look at the bustling scenery of the Zuo residence. Even though it was summer, it was different from the scenery she saw when she first came to the Zuo residence. The flowers in the manor and the collections and buildings from the eighteenth century that had once amazed her were a stark contrast to the dead silence in the room. No one was more important than them. Anhao placed a bouquet of colorful flowers that she picked in the backyard this morning into a crystal bottle in front of the terrace. She opened the window and let the warm wind in, but this wind did not affect Zuo Yue who was resting on the bed. ¡°Sister-in-law, you don¡¯t have to come to see me anymore.¡±Zuo Yue, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. Due to the continuous treatment and recuperation in the hospital for a few days, her tone was no longer as weak as before. However, she still needed to listen to the doctor¡¯s instructions. She could not get out of bed and walk for the time being. She had to lie flat. After Anhao put the flowers away, she turned to look at Zuo Yue.¡±¡±You¡¯re awake?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t sleep in the first place.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face was a little pale, but compared to the silence she had in front of the Zuo family for the past few days, she had reluctantly let go of herself in front of Anhao. At least she could talk to Anhao. Anhao also knew that Zuo Yue had been pretending to be asleep, but she did not expose her. Zuo Yue woke up in the afternoon the day after she and Zuo Hancheng rushed back to the United States. When she found out that she was pregnant, she had been indifferent. There was no sign of repentance, but she had never mentioned whether she should keep the child. Of course, she did not mention anything about her uncle. As long as her family asked her about this, Zuo Yue would close her eyes and not move at all. After resting in the hospital for another two days, he was sent back to the Zuo family with the old man who had gradually recovered. It was just that since she was sent back yesterday afternoon, other than Anhao who frequently came to Zuo Yue¡¯s room to accompany her, almost no one else had come. Previously, in the hospital, Zuo Yue¡¯s stubborn attitude after waking up had angered Father Zuo so much that he did not want to see her. Mother Zuo had come last night, but she did not know what she had talked to Zuo Yue about, causing her eyes to darken even more when she left. As for Zuo Hancheng After Zuo Yue and the old man were sent back to the Zuo family home yesterday, he had not returned. Although Anhao was arranged to stay in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s room in the Zuo family home, which she had stayed in before, she had not slept for almost the entire night. She had been thinking about the connections that Father Zuo had made Zuo Hancheng use with a serious expression. Zuo Hancheng did not come back to accompany her on a vacation after the event. He was not only troubled by the trivial matters of the Zuo Corporation that he had to deal with on behalf of Father Zuo, but also because of the sudden hospitalization of Old Master Zuo, which caused the stock price of the Zuo Corporation to plummet. All of this required Zuo Hancheng to take charge of the company that he did not want to take over. Moreover, Anhao could tell that Father Zuo was actually trying to take this opportunity to hand over the inheritance of the Zuo family to Zuo Hancheng so that nothing would happen in the future. The old man had just woken up a few days ago and was still very weak. He did not have the heart to care about these things. Therefore, Father Zuo had some plans in his heart. However, these plans happened at this time. Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng was so powerless to even reject them. She wondered what Zuo Hancheng was doing now. Ever since she graduated from Boston and returned to A City, she realized that she rarely had the chance to be alone with Zuo Hancheng. Although she knew that it was because she often lived between the school and Liujing Garden in the past, everything seemed to be less entangled and disturbed. Now, it was because his horizons were no longer so limited. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had always carried a lot of responsibilities. Chapter 767 - Chapter 767: Behind Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 767: Behind Zuo Hancheng (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng had not returned to the Zuo family home since yesterday. She did not know if he had rested or not. She had not even replied to the text message that she sent him this morning, asking him to eat his breakfast properly and not to be so busy that his stomach problem would relapse. She was in the Zuo family¡¯s house, and she wondered if Zuo Hancheng was too busy to look at the phone with the private number or if something had happened. As for her, other than helping to accompany Zuo Yue, could she help in other ways? Anhao stood beside Zuo Yue¡¯s bed and saw that Zuo Yue seemed to have noticed her slightly focused gaze and turned her head away to avoid her eyes. At the same time, she whispered,¡±¡±Sister-in-law, can you not be like them and ask me so many questions?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. After thinking for a moment, she said,¡±¡±I only want to ask you one thing.¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment before turning to look at Anhao.¡±¡±What?¡± ¡°That Xu Chengfeng ¡± As soon as Anhao¡¯s voice rang out, she saw a trace of rejection and impatience in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes. Anhao did not stop and continued,¡±¡±I¡¯m talking about the father of the child in your stomach. Who is he? What circle are you in?¡± Anhao remembered what Father Zuo said that day, so she had been worried that Zuo Hancheng would re-enter the power that he once had in America. After listening to Anhao¡¯s words, the impatience in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes gradually subsided. She turned to look at Anhao for a while, hesitated for a moment, and whispered,¡±¡±He is ¡± Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Anhao sat down on her bed and waited for her to speak. ¡°His business is related to firearms, and his main force is at the Russian border.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly looked up at Anhao. Anhao¡¯s expression changed slightly. In other words, Xu Chengfeng was a member of the underworld? The firearms business was not something that just anyone could do. Zuo Yue¡¯s words were so tactful that it was obvious that she had only mentioned the shallowest point. However, this point alone was enough to let Anhao know that the connections that Father Zuo had asked Zuo Hancheng to make use of were probably Zuo Hancheng¡¯s people in the United States. Ever since Zuo Hancheng moved Shengling Group to China, he had almost stopped interacting with those forces in the past. It was only three years ago when he was provoked by the Qi, Gu and Yi families that he seemed to have used these people again. However, she remembered that Wenner had said that there was a mix of good and bad people in this area. It was best to leave completely. If she was always involved with the underworld, it would not be a good thing sooner or later. Moreover, it was precisely because of this that she had accepted General Qi¡¯s threat when she found out that Zuo Hancheng was involved in the underworld in the United States. Now that Zuo Hancheng had returned to the United States, the forces behind him had made some moves in the past few years. There must be people who were related to him in the past who were eyeing him in the dark. If he continued to use his people now, if anything happened, Zuo Hancheng would be the first to step forward and bear the responsibility. Although Anhao did not understand the situation in that regard, she felt that Zuo Hancheng had been very busy for the past two days, which made her feel a little suspicious. However, the current state of the Zuo family made it impossible for her to leave just like that. Now that Zuo Hancheng did not take the initiative to contact her, what should she do? To understand Zuo Hancheng¡¯s recent situation? ¡°Sister-in-law, why are you asking this?¡±Seeing that Anhao was lost in thought for a long time without saying anything, Zuo Yue asked her softly,¡±¡±Did Grandpa and Dad say something?¡± Anhao glanced at her but didn¡¯t answer. Instead, she asked,¡±¡±What do you think they will say?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face was pale, but her eyes were a little red. It was obvious that she had secretly cried under the blanket before Anhao came. However, she seemed to be a little numb from crying, so she did not make any sound. At this moment, her eyes were only slightly red. ¡°I¡¯m afraid They will get my brother to suppress him because of me ¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice sounded a little difficult, and her expression was a little sad.¡±¡± I know I¡¯m in the wrong, but if my brother really steps in, this matter will become more and more complicated. Sister-in-law, if Father and Grandfather really have such plans, please speak to my brother and ask him not to do anything ¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she suddenly reached out to hold Anhao¡¯s wrist in excitement.¡±¡±Actually, it¡¯s always been my own wishful thinking. I was originally a spoiled child in the Zuo family. If it weren¡¯t for my mother sending me out to study, if it weren¡¯t for him After spending some time together, I might not have known what the world that I had never come into contact with was like, but now I know, so please don¡¯t let my brother do it. I beg you, sister-in-law!¡± ¡°Even if Zuo Hancheng really wants to make a move, what will happen? ¡± Come to think of it, that person is your uncle, which is equivalent to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s uncle. Regardless of the age difference, he is still an elder in terms of seniority. What can Zuo Hancheng do to him?¡±¡± In fact, Anhao asked this question because she didn¡¯t know much about that kind of thing. No matter if she was despicable now, she still had to get some information out of her. What military firearms? What business? If she had not asked Zuo Yue just now, perhaps Anhao would have thought that Zuo Hancheng was in charge of the Zuo Corporation in the United States. But now, it seemed that things were not that simple! Zuo Yue¡¯s face was originally pale, and now it had lost all color. She grabbed Anhao¡¯s wrist, and fear appeared in her eyes.¡±Because his main forces are distributed along the Russian border, but in the United States, his foundation is not as stable as my brother¡¯s. I don¡¯t want to see my brother hurt the people I love ¡± Anhao looked at her.¡± You should be clear about your relationship with that person. What¡¯s the point of talking about love at a time like this?¡± It¡¯s still uncertain whether the child in your stomach can be saved. Can you take care of yourself first?¡± Zuo Yue did not know what Anhao had touched, but tears suddenly fell from her eyes.¡±Sister-in-law ¡± She didn¡¯t know if she had been too harsh, but Anhao reached out and placed her hand on the back of her hand.¡±¡±If your brother doesn¡¯t avoid this matter from me, I might have a chance to ask him.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze paused and she immediately pulled her hand away from Anhao¡¯s hand. There was some embarrassment and apology in her eyes.¡±That¡¯s right. My brother has been away for so many years. He¡¯s been in China for so long, and almost no one knows about his influence in the United States. Even you might not know about it Then, then forget it. Pretend that I didn¡¯t say anything. Don¡¯t tell my brother about these things!¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue was actually avoiding her, Anhao just looked at her without batting an eyelid. She raised her hand and lifted the blanket towards her.¡±Then don¡¯t think so much. Take care of your body first. I¡¯ll think of a way to calm down my parents and grandfather¡¯s emotions, but grandfather is biased against me. I don¡¯t know if I can calm down.¡± Chapter 768 - Chapter 768: Behind Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 768: Behind Zuo Hancheng (3) Translator: 549690339 Just as she left Zuo Yue¡¯s room, Anhao heard a servant say,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo has returned to the city.¡± Anhao immediately walked out of the secluded attic behind the manor where Zuo Yue was. She did not know what was wrong with her. She was in the Zuo family and should be at ease with him, but she had been wanting to see him for the past two days. Even if it was just a glance, she just wanted to make sure that he was still the same Zuo Hancheng as she remembered. After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at the hall of the manor. As soon as they entered, they heard a ¡± bang ¡°. It sounded like a walking stick had been smashed onto the ground. Anhao stopped in her tracks and quickly walked in. Sure enough, she saw the old man sitting in a wheelchair with an ugly expression on his face. Almost half of his body was covered with a thin blanket. Although he had been taking supplements for the past few days since he was discharged from the hospital, he still looked much older than before. Not only did his complexion look bad, but even his lips did not look very healthy. However, his anger was as great as ever. ¡°Xu Yuan, it¡¯s your good brother¡¯s business what he likes to do, but you have to control him well. Don¡¯t let him involve our Zuo family in this mess! Also, about Zuo Yue, if that wretched girl doesn¡¯t want her face anymore, get her out of the Zuo family. I don¡¯t want such a shameless and disrespectful granddaughter!¡± The old man was furious. Anhao finally saw clearly that it was him who threw his crutch in the direction of Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, and father. Although he didn¡¯t hit anyone, he seemed to have used all his strength. If it really hit Mrs. Zuo¡¯s body, it would definitely hurt even if it didn¡¯t hurt. Xu Yuan had obviously become much more haggard recently. She did not refute the old man¡¯s complaints, but Father Zuo pulled Mother Zuo behind him and said with a heavy expression,¡±¡±Dad, Xu Yuan is the daughter-in-law you¡¯ve praised for more than 30 years. Are you going to shatter your relationship with her now? That walking stick was also a gift from Xu Yuan!¡± The old man¡¯s face was obviously scrunched up. It was obvious that he was gritting his teeth fiercely. However, because of Father Zuo¡¯s words, he looked at the crutch on the ground that was not broken even after being thrown so hard. His eyes suddenly became sad.¡±She¡¯s indeed a good wife, a good wife who can¡¯t be found fault with. But who would have thought that your brother, who was once adopted wrongly and then sent back to the Xu family, would one day do such a ridiculous thing? Zuo Yue is my biological granddaughter! My biological granddaughter has done such a thing against humanity. How can I face the ancestors of the Zuo family in the future?¡± ¡°When you encounter a problem, you only need to solve it from the root. Breaking crutches and cursing can¡¯t solve the problem.¡±Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came from outside the door. Anhao raised her head when she heard the sound. She saw Zuo Hancheng, who had not entered the hall just now, suddenly appear at the door. He had obviously heard the commotion from outside and was quite dissatisfied with the old man¡¯s use of his walking stick to throw Father Zuo. Anhao had just entered from the back door, so the old man had not noticed her yet. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze had already shifted to Anhao when he entered the room. The old man noticed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze and only then did he react. He suddenly turned around and saw Anhao standing behind him. His already ugly expression immediately darkened.¡±What are you doing here? Didn¡¯t I tell you to stay in your room in Hancheng when we returned to the Zuo family¡¯s house from the hospital? Didn¡¯t I already warn you not to appear in front of me?!¡± ¡°Dad, Zuo Yue is in trouble now. Why are you venting your anger on Anhao? If Anhao hadn¡¯t been talking to Zuo Yue recently, do you think that Zuo Yue, that girl, would be able to keep her temper under control?¡±Father Zuo¡¯s face turned ugly as he said,¡± Hancheng allowed Anhao to stay in the Zuo family because he trusted us. You hurt Anhao in front of Hancheng. That¡¯s too much!¡±¡± The old man immediately raised his eyes and glared at Father Zuo coldly.¡±I¡¯ve never really acknowledged this granddaughter-in-law. What does it have to do with me whether she¡¯s hurt or not?¡± He knew that the old man was angry. He was usually stubborn, and now he was even more unreasonable. He wanted to chase everyone away. Father Zuo did not say anything more. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was walking towards Anhao.¡±Hancheng, bring Anhao back to her room. You probably haven¡¯t had a good rest for the past two days. You guys go back to your room first.¡± Zuo Hancheng was obviously very indifferent to the old man because of the rude words he had just said. He walked past the old man, completely ignoring the old man¡¯s fiery gaze. When he walked to Anhao, he raised his hand to stroke her face. When he saw the dark circles under her eyes, he immediately looked at her with dissatisfaction. Knowing that he was silently questioning why she didn¡¯t sleep well, Anhao couldn¡¯t say too much due to the current situation. She only explained softly,¡±¡±When I saw that you didn¡¯t come back last night, I stayed in Zuo Yue¡¯s room with her. I fell asleep by her bed, but I didn¡¯t sleep very well.¡± ¡°Sleep in my room tonight.¡± Zuo Hancheng grabbed her shoulder and was about to take her away. The old man, who was ignored by him, immediately scolded angrily,¡±¡±You dare to leave? Hancheng, you really don¡¯t care about me anymore, do you?!¡± Just as Anhao was about to stop, Zuo Hancheng held her shoulders tightly and did not let her turn around. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and gave her a warning look, warning her not to use her passion in places she should not. Anhao couldn¡¯t help but whisper,¡±Grandpa lost his temper at Mom just now ¡± ¡°With Dad around, nothing will happen.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly. At the same time, he glanced at Anhao as if there was no one else in the hall and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you miss me?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was low, but he did not deliberately lower it. At this time, the hall was so quiet that almost everyone could hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ambiguous and inexplicable words. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched instantly and she secretly threw him a look, meaning that there were so many people here, so he should restrain himself. However, the angrier the old man was, the more Zuo Hancheng ignored her. He did not even care about the old man¡¯s angry expression. He suddenly placed his palm on the back of her head and planted a gentle kiss on her hair. Then, he brought the shocked Anhao out of the back door. When they reached the door, Anhao¡¯s face was still burning hot. She let Zuo Hancheng lead her outside. When the wind blew outside, she suddenly came back to her senses and asked,¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll have heart problems again if you¡¯re so angry at grandfather ¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up in a lukewarm manner.¡±Old Master¡¯s heart is not as weak as you think.¡± Chapter 769 - Chapter 769: Pushing Left Boss Down (1) Chapter 769: Pushing Left Boss Down (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was brought back to her room by Zuo Hancheng with a confused look on her face. She had wanted to ask him about his life in the United States. Although she didn¡¯t know where to start, she couldn¡¯t feel at ease until she got to the bottom of it. As soon as she walked in, she remembered that she had slept at Zuo Yue¡¯s place last night. She did not want Zuo Hancheng to misunderstand the Zuo family, so she explained directly,¡±¡± Actually, they sent me here yesterday, but I was worried about Zuo Yue. Anyway, the environment in her room is very good. I originally planned to sleep on the sofa in her room for a night, but I fell asleep by the bed, so I didn¡¯t come back to stay here ¡± As he spoke, he had already walked into the room. Anhao planned to ask him about the matter after explaining, but as soon as she walked in, the door behind her was suddenly closed by Zuo Hancheng. Anhao was still talking when he suddenly turned around, but in the next moment, her voice was stuck in her throat. She felt a kiss that caught her off guard suddenly fall on her. ¡°Oh, left ¡± Anhao was still worried about him, but Zuo Hancheng had already pressed her against the door. His warm fingers caressed her smooth and delicate face, and he kissed her lips one after another. He did not go deep, but it was as gentle as a dragonfly skimming the water, but it was filled with a strong sense of nostalgia. Anhao¡¯s head was a little swollen. Even though he wasn¡¯t kissing her fiercely, she still couldn¡¯t speak for a while. He had just asked her if she didn¡¯t miss him. How could he not? She had not slept well these days because she did not know if Zuo Hancheng would be okay after he returned to the United States. Everything was fine in A City, but when she thought of what happened to Han Ru¡¯s family, Qi Guyi¡¯s family, and everything that had happened for so long, Zuo Hancheng always gave her the feeling of being accepted, loved, and pitied, even though he seemed to be out of reach with her. Now, she wanted to care about her, but she did not know the so-called power behind him, nor did she know what his true strength was. She wanted to ask, but the little kisses on her lips ignited the longing in her mind. ¡°You don¡¯t miss me?¡± he asked again. Zuo Hancheng smiled in a low and hoarse voice when he saw the misty color in her eyes. He pressed his forehead against hers. Not only was his voice hoarse, but his eyes were also filled with deep desire. Anhao did not know when she had started to yearn for the feeling of Zuo Hancheng being by her side. Even if they only watched him work in his office, the two of them would not have time to talk for hours. Even at home, when he was reviewing company documents, she was secretly making noise with potato chips. Even if she just stood in front of him and looked at her reflection in his eyes. He didn¡¯t need so many promises and sweet nothings, nor did he need to be glued to each other all day. Ever since she returned to the country, she rarely spent time alone with Zuo Hancheng. Although she had been unable to change her character because of the divorce agreement, it did not mean that she did not miss him or that she did not want to hold onto this man tightly. If she didn¡¯t love him too much, why would she be unwilling to let someone else invade her position repeatedly with the excuse that they were of equal social status? Why would she endure her doubts and unknown fear of the An family and be willing to return to America with him to find the truth? If it wasn¡¯t because she loved him too much, someone like her wouldn¡¯t have stayed here obediently to accompany his family. Even if she hadn¡¯t seen him for the past two days, she believed that he wouldn¡¯t do anything to disappoint her. Initially, she was too embarrassed to express the overwhelming longing in her heart. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gentle kiss just now and the unconcealed feelings in his eyes stirred up the waves in her heart. It was as if she wanted to tie this man who she did not seem to understand completely to prevent him from leaving her again. She also did not want him to have any chance to get involved in any danger that she did not expect. If this wasn¡¯t love What else could that be? She did not know when it started, but Gu Anhao actually had such deep feelings for this man named Zuo Hancheng. It was as if no matter what happened in this life, she did not want to be separated from him for even a second. ¡°Yes, I miss you very much.¡± Anhao suddenly raised her hand and took the initiative to admit the overflowing longing in her heart. As the darkness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes deepened, she slid her finger down his handsome face. Anhao¡¯s rare acknowledgment of the feelings in her heart and her rare gentleness made Zuo Hancheng, who had only been longing for her, look at her with his dark eyes. At the same time, she felt his hand on her shoulder loosen. Just when she thought he was going to let go of her, Anhao was about to control her emotions that she almost couldn¡¯t control because of the longing she had for the past few days. She raised her hand and brushed the hair on her cheek to her ear. At the same time, she was about to stand up straight and leave the door behind her. However, at the same time, Anhao felt a strong force pulling her into his embrace. The back of her head was suddenly covered by a warm palm, pressing her towards him forcefully. She was forced to open her mouth, and her lips, which were still slightly cold, pressed against his. The minty taste of toothpaste lingered between his lips and tongue. Anhao instantly realized that he probably didn¡¯t sleep last night and only had time to tidy himself up before he came back. He probably hadn¡¯t eaten anything after that. The minty smell was so clear and dense that it surrounded Anhao. Anhao quickly raised her hand to push him away, wanting him to rest or eat something, but Zuo Hancheng had captured the tip of her tongue before she could retreat. The heat of the fire almost burned all her rationality in an instant. Zuo Hancheng had always been born with a strong personality, but he always had a hint of indulgence and gentleness in his strong personality. Although Anhao was infatuated for a moment, she still remembered how busy he had been outside for the past two days. Her heart ached as she pushed her hand against his chest. After the kiss, she took the opportunity to whisper,¡±Did you not rest either? Can you go to sleep or eat something first? I¡¯ll call Wang Ma ¡± However, in the next second, Zuo Hancheng ignored her resistance and gradually swallowed her lips and teeth. He even hugged Anhao tightly in his arms. Anhao could not move because of his strength. She only felt that going back to the United States might have been a mistake these few days. She would rather stay in her small home in Liu Jing Garden and be bullied by Zuo Hancheng all day long. As she thought about it, she suddenly raised her hand and hugged his shoulder tightly, giving him a careful response. Chapter 770 - Chapter 770: Pushing Left Boss Down (2) Chapter 770: Pushing Left Boss Down (2) Translator: 549690339 In the middle of summer in Los Angeles, even the air was stuffy. The two of them had just returned to the room, and they had not had the time to turn on the air conditioner. Anhao could not describe the feeling of fullness in her heart. It was just that Zuo Hancheng had not been by her side for the past two days and she had been alone in the Zuo family home. She had previously explained that the reason why she slept in Zuo Yue¡¯s room was not because she had fallen asleep there and did not come back. It was because this room belonged to Zuo Hancheng. When she was alone here, she always felt that something was missing in her heart. If she had not returned to the Zuo family with Zuo Hancheng, she would have been living alone in his room. This feeling was really too torturous. However, she did not want to tell him these reasons and the inexplicable emotions in her heart. She only hugged his shoulders tightly when they kissed. It wasn¡¯t until her lower body suddenly touched the softness of the bed that Anhao wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. The blush on her face was the indescribable feeling of completely opening her heart and admitting that she could no longer leave this man. His strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist and turned her over. He laid down beside her and had no intention of continuing. Anhao was also lying down quietly. As she calmed her breathing, she slowly raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was hugging her tightly in his arms. He did not give her a chance to leave, but he did not continue to do so. He looked a little more tired than when he was facing Old Master Zuo and Father Zuo, which confirmed her previous thoughts. As expected, he did not have a good rest. ¡°Are you tired?¡± Anhao raised her hand and stroked his hair, which was still clean and spotless. She wanted to massage his head to relieve his fatigue, but as soon as she raised her hand, Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand down and held her in his arms. He then casually took a pillow from the bedside and placed it under their heads. Anhao only realized that he was going to hug her to sleep when she felt his action. Anhao suddenly smiled and leaned her face against his chest. She whispered meaningfully,¡±¡±No wonder So you want to sleep ¡± The hand that was originally around her waist suddenly tightened, and a threatening and warm kiss suddenly landed on the top of her head. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng pressed down on her legs that were trying to adjust her posture. ¡°Maybe he¡¯s really sick.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s low and hoarse voice rang above her head,¡±¡±I always lose sleep when you¡¯re not by my side.¡± Anhao could tell that he was hiding the reason why he hadn¡¯t slept for the past two nights. However, she didn¡¯t ask if he really had insomnia or if he didn¡¯t have time to sleep at all. She just raised her hands to hug his neck again and looked up at him with a smile.¡±So you came back to the Zuo family to look for your sleeping pills?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly. As she raised her head, he gently rubbed his chin and kissed her.¡±I lost my wife and came back to find her.¡± Anhao buried her face in his neck. Zuo Hancheng held her hand and kissed her gently on the cheek.¡±¡±You still have dark circles under your eyes. You didn¡¯t sleep well last night. Now, go to sleep obediently and don¡¯t move around anymore. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that you won¡¯t be able to sleep until the sky turns dark.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were so threatening that Anhao¡¯s little hand froze for a moment. However, in the next moment, she suddenly smiled maliciously. Initially, he did not put in much effort to resist, so Anhao easily broke free from his grip. Zuo Hancheng was about to look down at the little thing in his arms, but before he could see it clearly, Anhao suddenly pressed him against the bed and turned over to lie on top of him. She hugged his arms tightly and did not let him push her away. Of course, how could Zuo Hancheng push her away? Sensing her intentions, Zuo Hancheng did not resist. He lay under her and looked at her with eyes as deep as a bottomless pit. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng did not move, Anhao had only wanted to seduce him and enjoy the feeling of being pushed down, but he actually stopped moving! Anhao could only kiss his handsome chin based on her own feelings She felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand suddenly tighten around her waist. Sure enough, her random seduction had begun to work Chapter 771 - Chapter 771: Pushing Down the Left Boss (3) Chapter 771: Pushing Down the Left Boss (3) Translator: 549690339 The world was spinning in front of her eyes. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fierce kiss had already taken away all her breath. He had also pressed her hands, which had been messing around with him, firmly on both sides of her body. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Anhao grinned proudly even though her breathing was being swallowed by him and she was having difficulty breathing. Sensing her smile, Zuo Hancheng kissed her passionately on the lips and said through gritted teeth,¡±¡±Demon!¡± Anhao smiled and looked at him with her eyes wide open. Things had developed to the point that she wanted to reach. From the moment they started kissing, Zuo Hancheng immediately took off her clothes and threw her clothes, which were not heavy to begin with, under the bed. When Anhao was about to die, he leaned closer to her with even more enthusiasm. ¡°I feel sorry for you for not sleeping well last night. I originally wanted to let you go, but you asked for it.¡±Zuo Hancheng had spoken to her ear. His hot breath had enveloped her completely. Even though it still carried the clean smell of mint, it did not seem to have cooled down at all. Instead, it was extremely charming. His fingertips slid across her fair skin until they touched her legs. Anhao had already gone from being the one who initiated the flirting to being teased to the point where her entire body was blushing and trembling. She only felt her entire body go numb, even her fingers I don¡¯t know how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, how long it¡¯s been, Anhao bit her teeth and refused to make a sound when she let out a low groan from her fierce advances. The man on top of her leaned down to kiss her lips and forced her teeth open. Broken moans gradually came out of her mouth without any order. The satisfaction in his eyes made Anhao raise her hand to cover her face. Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand down, not giving her a chance to dodge. Anhao gradually lost control of her voice. The curtains in front of the window fluttered not far away. She was afraid that the servants would hear her when they walked past the room, but he did not allow her to keep holding back her voice. Every time she tried to close her mouth, his lips would invade her tongue It was still early, and the room, which had not been air-conditioned, was as hot as a heater. It was scorching hot. The sky was already dark. Anhao opened her eyes from her deep sleep and found that the sky outside the window was already dark. Zuo Hancheng was indeed a man of his word. He had said that she would not be able to fall asleep until it was dark, but it had become a reality. The two of them had actually just closed their eyes to rest not long ago. She had probably not even slept for more than half an hour. However, the two of them did not have lunch with the Zuo family at noon. Looking at the time now, it was past six o¡¯clock. It should be dinner time. If they did not go now, the old man would probably explode again. Moreover, Zuo Yue had no one to accompany her for the entire afternoon, and she did not know if she had any rest. Anhao quietly lifted the blanket and was about to get up. However, just as she moved, the arm that was originally on her waist suddenly wrapped around her firmly and pulled her back. Anhao staggered back into his arms. She turned around and saw the satisfied smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. They had already taken a shower in the bathroom when they had barely fallen asleep. Both of them were very dry, but the feeling of their skin touching each other when they were awake still made Anhao¡¯s heart skip a beat. ¡°It¡¯s already past six o¡¯clock. If we don¡¯t go for dinner, not to mention Grandpa, even Dad and Mom don¡¯t seem to be able to get away with it ¡± Zuo Hancheng did not let go of her. His voice was lazy and hoarse as if he had just woken up.¡±There¡¯s nothing wrong with Mom and Dad. They know that we¡¯re working hard for their future little grandson. Even if we don¡¯t show up for breakfast tomorrow, they won¡¯t be dissatisfied.¡± Hearing the words ¡®little grandson¡¯, Anhao suddenly remembered that the two of them hadn¡¯t used any contraceptive devices recently. Although it had only been a few days since she and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s passionate entanglement in the Gilt Scenic Garden and it was impossible for her to really be pregnant now, Anhao still instinctively placed her hand on her stomach. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss suddenly landed on her lips, and his low and hoarse voice brushed past her lips.¡±¡±You asked for it.¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Anhao was stunned. Zuo Hancheng suddenly smiled mysteriously and let her continue to rest on his arm. His hand gently caressed her naked back, causing Anhao to tremble all over. At the same time, he said,¡±That night at Jingshang Entertainment, you said it in my arms.¡± Anhao finally reacted. Did he mean that she had said that she wanted another child in his arms after drinking too much? Of course, she couldn¡¯t remember what she said. She was so drunk that she almost forgot her name. How could she remember what she said? However, the feeling of being caressed on her back still made Anhao flinch slightly. She said softly,¡±¡±I still don¡¯t think it¡¯s good not to go for dinner, and . I¡¯m hungry too ¡± In fact, she had not eaten well for the past few days. Now that Zuo Hancheng was by her side and she had been busy for the entire afternoon, she was really hungry. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still caressing her back. Anhao reached out to swat his hand away, but Zuo Hancheng smiled like a demon and pressed her down on the bed, kissing her until she was turned upside down. The two of them dressed up and rushed out of the room. When they arrived at the hall, the old man rolled his eyes because they were late. However, although the two of them were a little late, they saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched. It could be seen that although the old man was dissatisfied, at least he was still waiting for them to come for dinner. ¡°Grandpa, Dad, Mom.¡± Anhao had been distracted by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sudden return and did not greet him in the hall. Although Zuo Yue¡¯s matter was the most troublesome at home, she had not forgotten that she was not very popular with the old master. Therefore, she had to maintain her manners as much as possible, lest she was coaxed out of the house by the angry old master. The old man did not seem to hear him. He only handed his walking stick to Uncle Chen with an ugly expression. It seemed that he was about to eat. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything more. On the other hand, although Zuo¡¯s father and mother had looked a little haggard because of Zuo Yue¡¯s incident, they were still tidied up as usual in the Zuo family¡¯s house unlike in the hospital. Although it was obvious that they were thinking about Zuo Yue¡¯s matter, they still had the attitude that they should have towards Anhao. ¡± Anhao, it¡¯s not your first time here. Sit down and have dinner. We were in a hurry when we came back from the hospital yesterday, so we didn¡¯t even have dinner together. Now that we¡¯re back in Hancheng, it¡¯s rare for us to have dinner together. Don¡¯t worry so much. Sit down.¡±¡± Chapter 772 - Chapter 772: Pushing Down the Left Boss (4) Chapter 772: Pushing Down the Left Boss (4) Translator: 549690339 As soon as Father Zuo finished speaking, Old Master Zuo looked at Anhao indifferently.¡±¡±You have to make the elders wait for so long for dinner. You haven¡¯t even given birth to a child of the Zuo family.¡± Anhao remembered that the last time she left the Zuo family, although the old man did not change his opinion of her, at least he no longer wanted to force Chengxin between her and Zuo Hancheng. Even if he no longer wanted to break them up, his attitude was still the same. He was not satisfied with her, but he was more satisfied with her family background. Anhao paused for a moment and was about to say something when Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her shoulder and stopped her from explaining. At the same time, he gestured for her to sit beside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother. Anhao caught Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze and knew that the situation between him and the old man was the real one. The incident that happened back then was enough to make Zuo Hancheng refuse to enter the Zuo family three times. Moreover, the old master was the culprit behind all the trouble that had been caused by Rong Xue. Rong Xue did not murder anyone for money. She was the one who caused Rong Xue to be unable to get pregnant for the rest of her life. This was the responsibility that the old man had unintentionally placed on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulders. No one would forgive the old man¡¯s ruthless methods easily. But now that she was back in the Zuo family, Anhao still did not want the relationship between Zuo Hancheng and the old man to be too cold. The old man obviously knew the reason for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude towards her. When he saw that Anhao had been brought to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, to do it, he did not let Anhao explain further. Although the old man was angry, he could only hold it in and did not scold her again. As soon as Anhao sat down, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother placed some food in the bowl in front of her. At the same time, she noticed that Anhao was wearing a different outfit from the one she wore when she returned to her room with Zuo Hancheng. She smiled and placed some of Anhao¡¯s favorite pork ribs in her bowl.¡±Our Zuo family has been eating Chinese food a lot these past few years. The ribs made by Mother Wang are getting more and more delicious.¡± Anhao¡¯s face turned slightly red from the smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother¡¯s eyes. She had been checking her neck before she changed her clothes. When she saw that Zuo Hancheng did not leave any obvious marks on her neck, she was relieved. However, she had forgotten about the change of clothes. It was obvious that they had seen what she and Zuo Hancheng had done after they returned to their room. Now that she was late, Anhao¡¯s face was red. She could only choose to pick up her bowl and chopsticks and eat obediently. As she ate, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. She saw that he was smiling because of Mrs. Zuo¡¯s gaze. At the same time, he glanced at her. When she met his gaze, Anhao¡¯s face immediately burned up. She lowered her head and silently ate her ribs. ¡°Actually, when Anhao was pregnant, we also thought that she was only 20 years old and was still too young.¡±Seeing that the old man was about to flare up because everyone was taking good care of Gu Anhao, Mother Zuo suddenly smiled and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re at the right age now. Anhao, you¡¯re twenty-three now, right?¡± ¡°Oh . Yes.¡± Anhao put down her bowl and chopsticks and answered honestly. Mother Zuo saw how frightened she was when she heard about the pregnancy. She immediately raised her hand and patted the back of her hand tenderly.¡±It¡¯s okay. Let¡¯s eat. Back then, that child was also lost in a car accident. None of us will blame you. You were indeed very young back then. Even if you were born, you probably wouldn¡¯t have raised your child by yourself. Even if we elders were willing to help you take care of your child, how could the child not be educated by her mother?¡± As Mother Zuo spoke, she picked up some food for Anhao and said,¡±¡±If you¡¯re pregnant now, it¡¯s just right. I can see that Anhao, you¡¯re much more mature than three years ago. You¡¯ve also grown a lot.¡± Anhao thought that they were going to bring up her miscarriage in the car accident, but after hearing what Mother Zuo said, she heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt her left hand under the table suddenly being held by a warm hand. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who seemed calm but had his eyes on her. She raised her eyebrows. Seeing the silent interaction between Zuo Hancheng and Anhao, Mrs. Zuo was relieved. She turned around and smiled at Mr. Zuo. The old man, on the other hand, placed his chopsticks heavily on the table in dissatisfaction.¡±If she doesn¡¯t have the ability to protect the child of the Zuo family, whether it¡¯s three years ago or three years later, she still doesn¡¯t have the qualifications to be the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand paused for a moment, but Zuo Hancheng still held her hand. Anhao did not move and just turned to look at the old man. Just as she was about to speak, Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±Grandpa, do you mean that the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family should not be hurt even if she encounters a major car accident, and the child in her stomach should not have any problems. Also, for the sake of the glorious mission of the Zuo family to continue the descendants, she should practice an indestructible body?¡± The old man¡¯s expression froze.¡± Hancheng, your wings are getting stronger and stronger. How dare you talk back to me again and again?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng curled his lips coldly and did not say anything else, but his eyes spoke for themselves. This matter was not Anhao¡¯s fault in the first place. No one wanted to get into a major car accident. They couldn¡¯t save the child under such a natural disaster, and the old man insisted on pushing the blame on her. No one could stand it. The old man was about to continue speaking, but Anhao felt that she had to leave the table first to ease the atmosphere. At least, she did not want the old man to fall out with Zuo Hancheng for the first time because of her. ¡°I¡¯ll go ask Wang Ma for another dinner and send it to Zuo Yue.¡± As she spoke, she stood up and looked at Zuo Hancheng, signaling him not to stop her. Zuo Hancheng knew what Anhao was thinking, so he indicated that she could go. Anhao turned around and smiled politely at the elders before turning around and walking out. After taking the dinner prepared for Zuo Yue from Wang Ma¡¯s place, Anhao carried the dinner to the secluded attic at the back. When she entered the attic, she realized that the lights in the room above were not turned on, so she quickened her pace. As soon as she walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s room, she saw a figure standing in front of the window. She was shocked and quickly raised her hand to turn on the lights. She saw Zuo Yue standing silently in front of the window like a wax statue, facing the window. No one knew what she was thinking. Anhao let out a sigh of relief.¡± Hurry up and eat. Mother Wang specially made pork ribs today. This pork rib soup is very fragrant ¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue did not speak or move, Anhao put down the dinner in her hands and was about to walk to the window. ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, but it was so faint that Anhao felt a little more vigilant.¡±¡±Go tell my brother that someone from the Zuo family has infiltrated ¡± The smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly froze. Chapter 773 - Chapter 773: Zuo Hancheng’s Heart Hurts (1) Chapter 773: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heart Hurts (1) Translator: 549690339 Anhao¡¯s expression was puzzled when Zuo Yue had already turned around to look at her. When she saw the bowl that Anhao had placed on the table, her eyes paused and she said softly,¡±¡±I can¡¯t eat. Is my brother back?¡± ¡°Who sneaked in? Tell me clearly.¡± ¡°Are they your uncle¡¯s men?¡± Anhao looked at her. Or someone else? Who are they targeting?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with uncertainty.¡±¡±I¡¯m not sure either, but I just received a call with a hidden GPS address.¡± At this point, Zuo Yue placed his hand on his still flat belly,¡±¡±They should be coming for me. I was making a promise earlier . When I was studying at Uncle¡¯s place, I happened to encounter a few big cases. Those people knew that I had a deep relationship with him, so .¡± Zuo Yue, who had been emotionless for the past few days, was now puzzled.¡±I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on with the people, but I feel that those people dared to sneak into the Zuo family because they didn¡¯t know the Zuo family well enough.¡± Indeed, was it suicidal to sneak into the Zuo family? Anhao saw that Zuo Yue¡¯s expression was much uglier than before, so she walked over.¡±¡±I¡¯ll help you back to the bed to rest first. Then, I¡¯ll go look for ¡± Anhao had just taken two steps in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction when the glass window behind Zuo Yue was suddenly shattered by something that flew out of nowhere. Before she could see clearly, she saw the shattered glass piercing towards Zuo Yue¡¯s body. ¡°Be careful-¡± Anhao did not even think about it and rushed forward to protect Zuo Yue as fast as she could. The moment she felt a piercing pain in her back and a loud bang behind her, Anhao was in so much pain that her entire body trembled. Her two hands instinctively hugged Zuo Yue, who had been pressed to the ground by her, tightly. Layers of thin sweat overflowed from her forehead. Her two hands instinctively grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist tightly.¡±Are you hurt? The child has no luck? Zuo Yue looked at Anhao, who had suddenly rushed over to protect her, with a confused expression. She did not expect Anhao¡¯s first reaction to be to ask if the child in her stomach was okay. ¡°Sister-in-law, you¡¯re bleeding!¡± Zuo Yue was about to speak when she suddenly saw the blood flowing down Anhao¡¯s back. Her eyes instantly panicked. Anhao could not explain why she had risked her life just now. Perhaps no one could explain the consciousness buried deep in the bottom of a person¡¯s heart after a miscarriage. When Zuo Yue held her hand, Anhao still stared at her face nervously.¡±You ¡± At the same time, the door was suddenly pushed open. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure suddenly appeared in the room. Zuo Yue turned around and saw the person at the door. She quickly shouted,¡±Brother! Sister-in-law is injured!¡± Zuo Hancheng had rushed to the front hall when he heard the sound of glass shattering. The moment he pushed open the door, he saw Anhao and Zuo Yue sitting on the ground. Zuo Yue¡¯s face was stiff and pale, and Anhao¡¯s face was also pale. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, and blood flowed down her back to the floor. Anhao could only feel a burning pain on her back. Before she could raise her head to look in the direction of the door, she felt her arm suddenly being pulled up by someone. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was already approaching her quickly. Seeing the thunderous coldness and worry between his brows, she could only lean her head weakly into his arms.¡±I¡¯m fine. I should have just been stabbed by a glass shard. It shouldn¡¯t be serious ¡± However, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand on her back, and his palm was instantly stained with blood. Anhao could not see the coldness and horror in his eyes, and she was carried by him by the waist in a moment of dizziness. ¡°Zuo Yue, she ¡± Anhao was about to speak before she was carried out of the door. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was cold and sinister. Anhao¡¯s voice was stuck in her throat for a moment. She had no idea what had shattered the window just now, but it seemed to be something small. If not for the fact that the window had four layers and a protective layer in the middle, the window would not have shattered. At most, it would have only made a small hole in it. She couldn¡¯t guess what it was, or perhaps it was the territory that she had never come into contact with in her twenty-three years of suffering. She only knew that Zuo Hancheng carried her and left the attic where Zuo Yue was. Her ears were a little messy. She did not know if it was because the pain in her back was too severe, so she could not faint now to avoid the pain. She could still hear Zuo Hancheng sending someone to call a doctor. She could also hear someone saying that it was not suitable to send her to the hospital directly in this situation and that they would immediately arrange for the most professional family doctor in the hospital in front to come over. What kind of situation was it? She was in so much pain that she couldn¡¯t go to the hospital? Anhao turned to look at the man who was talking to Zuo Hancheng with a pale face. He looked familiar. He was one of the people who had appeared in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward after the car accident three years ago when she and Zuo Hancheng had been avenged by the Qi family. At that time, she had only taken a quick glance at him. She did not expect to see him in America. Moreover, the words just now came from a person¡¯s mouth. He was very respectful to Zuo Hancheng, but his attitude was serious and indifferent. It was hard to tell what kind of person he was. However, Anhao was in so much pain that tears were about to fall from her eyes. She did not have the strength to speak. The only thing she could do was to place her hand on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chest and grab his clothes tightly, trying to relieve the pain on her back. After that, perhaps because of the pain, even if she did not faint, her consciousness was still a little blurry. She only knew that Zuo Hancheng seemed to have carried her somewhere. She only knew that many people in the Zuo family were rushing around because of her injury. She only knew that she seemed to have heard the old man¡¯s angry and anxious voice. After that, Anhao was anesthetized by the family doctor who rushed over. She lay quietly on the bed in the room and allowed the doctor to remove the glass shards that had pierced into her back. There were at least a dozen wounds on Anhao¡¯s back, all of different sizes. Some of the smaller ones had broken glass and were very deep, while some of the bigger ones had been cut by glass. Although Anhao had fallen asleep because of the anesthesia and was lying motionless on the bed, anesthesia could only numb the nerves, but it would not cause her to fall asleep. She could vaguely hear the sound of glass fragments being taken out and thrown into the medical equipment, which made her feel a bone-chilling chill. Zuo Hancheng saw the wounds on her back with his own eyes. Every time a piece of glass was taken out, his eyes became colder. Until the doctor turned around and said,¡±Mr. Zuo, we¡¯re going to treat the wound on Mrs. Zuo¡¯s back now. You¡¯d better wait outside the door while we disinfect it.¡±¡± Chapter 774 - Chapter 774: Zuo Hancheng’s Heart Hurts (2) Chapter 774: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heart Hurts (2) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng did not leave even after the doctor finished speaking. He looked at Anhao who was lying on the bed motionlessly. His gaze then swept across her bloody back as if he wanted to remember every single injury she had. Until the doctor took out an antiseptic gown.¡±Mr. Zuo, if you must stay here with Mrs. Zuo, please change into this set of clothes first. Otherwise, the disinfection work won¡¯t be completed smoothly, and it will only be harmful to Mrs. Zuo.¡± ¡°You guys take care of the wound. I¡¯ll go out.¡±Although Zuo Hancheng did not want to leave Anhao alone in the room, it was not the time to delay any further. He did not want to disturb the doctor¡¯s work and turned around to leave the room. Outside the room, the man whom Anhao found familiar walked over with a small bullet in his hand. ¡± Mr. Zuo, it¡¯s a 45CP shotgun. The other party obviously came prepared. They used this kind of bullet to smash the window of Miss Zuo¡¯s room. It¡¯s obviously not to kill someone through the window. It¡¯s just a warning. I asked Miss Zuo if she had offended anyone in the underworld, but Miss Zuo didn¡¯t say anything. She doesn¡¯t seem to be in a good state now, so I didn¡¯t ask further.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the tiny bullet and reached out to pick it. He stroked it with his fingertips. When he picked Anhao up in Zuo Yue¡¯s room, he had already seen the bullet on the ground. To prevent Anhao from panicking further, he had quietly taken her away from the scene. Anhao was not involved in this matter. The bullet shattered the glass of Zuo Yue¡¯s room. It was obvious that it was aimed at Zuo Yue alone. That girl had been by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s side for the past few years and had caused countless troubles. She had inexplicably implicated Anhao and caused her to suffer such a serious injury. Even if Zuo Hancheng did not want to interfere in those matters anymore, he could not pretend that this matter had not happened at this moment. ¡°I checked the Zuo family¡¯s house just now. The other party sneaked into the Zuo family¡¯s house at some point, but he quickly left the scene after using an APB (silenced gun) to smash the floor-to-ceiling window of Miss Zuo¡¯s room. The people in front of the manor saw a car leaving just now, but because the license plate number was not strange, they thought it was the Zuo family¡¯s car. They did not pay attention to which direction the person in the car went.¡± Zuo Hancheng threw the bullet back into the other party¡¯s hand and said coldly,¡±¡±This kind of shotgun is very common in the black market in the United States. We can¡¯t find out the source of this shotgun. Send someone to seal off all the entrances and exits nearby, including the waterway. Send someone to the superintendent and the traffic bureau to pull up the surveillance cameras at all the intersections outside the Zuo family.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡± ¡°D, regardless of whether it¡¯s before or after the investigation, don¡¯t let Anhao know about this.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly called out that person¡¯s code name. It had been a long time since D had heard this nickname from Zuo Hancheng. Mr. Zuo called himself D. There was no need to explain the meaning of this code name. He understood that his mission was the same as those who had followed Mr. Zuo to the death in Los Angeles. ¡°I understand. Mrs. Zuo is still Mrs. Zuo from A City, and Mr. Zuo is only President Zuo from A City. Your lives are simple, so she doesn¡¯t need to know so much.¡±D said respectfully and stepped back. In a flash, he turned around and walked out quickly. With D¡¯s departure, the seemingly calm eyes of Zuo Hancheng hid a hint of icy killing intent, but suddenly, Anhao¡¯s painful groan came from the room and instantly disappeared. The door suddenly opened and the doctor heard Zuo Hancheng walk in. He turned around and said,¡±¡± I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Zuo. Because Mrs. Zuo only suffered from an external injury on her back, we only applied a small amount of anesthesia on her back in order to avoid some damage and side effects caused by general anesthesia. Now that the effect of the anesthesia has worn off, Mrs. Zuo will have some reactions. But please believe us. The glass shards have been removed. Now it¡¯s just disinfection work. Although it will hurt, it won¡¯t be as painful as removing the glass shards .¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze immediately shifted to Anhao, who was still lying on the bed. She was obviously more awake now. Although she was still in a half-asleep state, her hands were clenched into fists on both sides of her head. Her face, which was buried in the pillow, was pale and bloodless. The hair on both sides of her cheeks and her forehead were drenched in sweat and stuck to her pale face, as if she had just been washed. ¡°How much longer?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked calmly. At the same time, he took the disinfectant suit from the side and put it on. He did not want to affect the progress of the disinfection and delay her painful time. ¡°It¡¯ll take about half an hour, and there are a few wounds that need stitches. The widest wound needs about ten stitches.¡±As the doctor continued to disinfect the patient, he replied,¡±¡± However, medical technology is very advanced now. Furthermore, scars that are less than three months old can be removed as much as possible with some special scar removal techniques. Mr. Zuo, please rest assured. As long as Mrs. Zuo is cooperative with the treatment and applies medicine, these scars on her back will gradually disappear in no time. After two months, these scars will definitely disappear completely ¡± ¡°What¡¯s important now isn¡¯t the scar. It¡¯s that she¡¯s in pain.¡±Zuo Hancheng walked to the bedside and looked at Anhao¡¯s clenched fists. He noticed that something was wrong and looked at the doctor.¡±Disinfection is one thing, but when she was suturing, she was forced to endure it? What kind of anesthetic needle would have such a huge side effect that it could make a person who was injured and even needed stitches endure the pain?¡± The doctor¡¯s expression stiffened, and he seemed a little embarrassed. Another young doctor who was helping to disinfect the patient said softly,¡±It was Old Master Zuo who told us before we came in that Mrs. Zuo might be pregnant and asked us to be careful when we were anesthetized That¡¯s why .¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows instantly turned as cold as frost as he ordered coldly,¡±¡±Re-inject!¡± ¡°This . But if Mrs. Zuo is really pregnant ¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure if she¡¯s pregnant or not.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked coldly at the two doctors who were busy disinfecting Anhao.¡±¡±Do you want me to give her anesthesia personally?¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had spoken, the two doctors did not dare to be negligent. They had thought that the old man was too cruel. No matter what, this person was already injured to this extent. If the anesthesia was not enough, it would really be like cutting off flesh. Wasn¡¯t it too cruel to their granddaughter-in-law? Zuo Hancheng frowned when he saw that the sweat on Anhao¡¯s face looked like it had been washed clean. It had only been a week since she came back. No matter how fast it was, it was impossible for her to get pregnant so quickly. Regardless of whether the old man was thinking too much or he was really doing it for the sake of the so-called child, he did not intend to feel sorry for his granddaughter-in-law. The doctor gave Anhao another shot of anesthesia, but Anhao had endured it for so long just now. Now that she was given another shot, her entire body tensed up in pain. Chapter 775 - Chapter 775: Zuo Hancheng’s Heart Hurts (3) Chapter 775: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heart Hurts (3) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng walked over and gently lifted her hand when he saw the sweat on Anhao¡¯s face and her hands gradually loosening due to the effects of the anesthesia. He saw the marks of her fists and nails digging into her palms when she was silently enduring the pain. Anhao¡¯s palms were full of bloody nails. Although it was not as shocking as the bloody wound on her back, it was enough to show how much pain she had endured just now. Zuo Hancheng put her hand down and saw that the doctor did not dare to delay any longer. He had already started to stitch the wound up quickly and lightly. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was going to monitor them until the treatment of their wounds was over, the two family doctors were nervous and did not dare to make any mistakes. The old man of the Zuo family was not to be trifled with, but everyone knew that Zuo Hancheng, who rarely came back, was the real master of the Zuo family. She was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. If anything happened to her, their heads would be broken. As time passed, Anhao, who had been injected with anesthesia again, no longer sweated because of the pain. Her face, which had been sweating non-stop, had gradually become much cleaner, but it was not difficult to see the pain she had suffered from before from the degree of sticking hair on both sides of her cheeks. After the wound was treated, the maid came in to help change the blood-stained bedsheet and blanket. When Anhao lay on the clean bed again, the maid and the doctor left quietly. The room was silent. Anhao¡¯s anesthesia had yet to wear off and she was still in a deep sleep. However, there was a look of restlessness on her face and her brows were slightly furrowed. Zuo Hancheng saw that she had bitten her lips while enduring the pain. He turned around to get a glass of warm water and used a cotton swab to wipe away the dried blood on Anhao¡¯s lips. Anhao¡¯s eyes were tightly shut, and her lips gradually became moist, but it could not hide her paleness. The cup of water was placed on the edge of the table beside the bed. Zuo Hancheng leaned over beside her, his heart aching. His slender fingers gently caressed her brows, which were still furrowed in her sleep, until Anhao¡¯s furrowed brows gradually smoothed out. When Anhao felt his warmth by her side, she felt more and more at ease in her sleep. Ever since An Hao was injured in Zuo Yue¡¯s room, in the past two hours, there were many more people coming and going in the Zuo family¡¯s courtyard than usual. The manor that should have been peaceful now appeared to be in chaos, even though it was already late at night. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s father was pacing back and forth outside with a gloomy expression. When he heard the sound and saw Zuo Hancheng coming out, he quickly walked over.¡±¡±How is Anhao? She heard from the doctor that her wound had been treated. Had she woken up? Are you scared?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Father Zuo, then at Uncle Chen and the other servants behind him. He did not say anything. ¡°The old man is asking people to investigate the people who have infiltrated the Zuo family in the past two days. Your mother was here just now and waited for a while. She just went to Zuo Yue¡¯s place not long ago. She asked me to tell you that Anhao will send the best nursing doctor to take care of her.¡± ¡°I asked the doctor to add a little dose to Anhao¡¯s anesthesia. Although it won¡¯t cause any harm to her body, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll only wake up after sleeping for a while.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he glanced in the direction of Zuo Yue¡¯s secluded loft not far away.¡±¡±How is Zuo Yue?¡± Father Zuo sighed.¡± Zuo Yue is fine. She was just a little shocked. The doctor has seen her and asked her to move to a safer room to recuperate.¡± The attic was supposed to be moved in by the moon so that it would be easier to lock the door and prevent her from walking around. Who knew that such a mess would happen now? Anhao is too young and has never experienced such a thing. When she wakes up, you must accompany her more. Don¡¯t let that child scare you.¡± ¡°She¡¯s not that weak, but there are some things that we don¡¯t need her to know too much about.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm.¡± If Zuo Yue is fine, I won¡¯t go see her for now. Where is Grandfather? I¡¯ll go see him.¡±¡± Seeing the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, Father Zuo¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to leave, he suddenly stood in front of him.¡± Hancheng, I¡¯ve heard about what the old man said to the doctor just now. Although he doesn¡¯t agree with it, he¡¯s just giving his opinion on the premise that a stubborn old man is thinking about the health of the child. He doesn¡¯t mean to make Anhao suffer. Let¡¯s not fuss about this. Anyway, Anhao is not pregnant now, and there won¡¯t be any problem even if she gets an anesthetic shot. Dad knows that you¡¯re too dissatisfied with the old man, but it¡¯s rare for the Zuo family to experience such endless turmoil now. Just bear with it a little longer ¡± Zuo Hancheng looked coldly at Father Zuo.¡±¡±Standing on the premise that a stubborn old man is thinking about the health of his child? He clearly knew that Anhao was injured in order to save Zuo Yue, but he made such a suggestion. It was obvious that he wanted her to be tortured in the Zuo family and retreat. After so many years, if he still wanted to arrange those things that I had rejected many times, I didn¡¯t mind taking Anhao away after she recovered from her injuries and never entering the Zuo family again.¡± ¡°Hancheng, you¡¯re being too serious.¡± Father Zuo¡¯s expression instantly stiffened. Even he did not expect Zuo Hancheng, who had always been steady and not impulsive, to be so angry because of Anhao¡¯s accidental injury. ¡°Old Master knows that Anhao was injured because she was trying to save Zuo Yue. How can he not feel any heartache? It¡¯s just that you know how stubborn he is. There are too many things at home at the moment, and it¡¯s not good for him to change his attitude.¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not ease up, Father Zuo sighed.¡±¡±It¡¯s impossible that you don¡¯t know your own grandfather. Other than his bad temper, he really cares about you two. It¡¯s just that because Chengxin was in the middle of Anhao¡¯s matter, he couldn¡¯t easily resolve the knot in his heart.¡± When Zuo Hancheng heard the name Chengxin, his expression remained calm, but it was not difficult to see the indifference in his eyes. ¡°Besides, the old man doesn¡¯t see Chengxin much anymore. Chengxin still comes to the Zuo family often in the past few years, but the old man refused to see her a few times. It¡¯s obvious that he doesn¡¯t want that child to interfere in your marriage anymore. The old man has already made concessions.¡± ¡°What buffer time?¡± Suddenly, the old man¡¯s voice came from behind Father Zuo. The voice was deep and made Father Zuo¡¯s face turn in shock. He suddenly turned to look at the old man who was being pushed over by Uncle Chen. ¡°I don¡¯t need to explain what I want to do to my grandson! Even if Gu Anhao saved Zuo Yue, it was just a few pieces of broken glass. It was not like she would die. Hancheng, are you going to fall out with me just because of a few pieces of broken glass?¡± Chapter 776 - Chapter 776: Zuo Hancheng’s Heart Hurts (4) Chapter 776: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Heart Hurts (4) Translator: 549690339 Before the old man could finish his question, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze lingered on him for a few seconds. After a moment, he curled his lips coldly and said,¡±¡±Grandpa, do you think that the barrier between us is just a few glass fragments?¡± The old man¡¯s face froze and he frowned. It was obvious that he could not explain what happened to Rong Xue. He did not know how to face Zuo Hancheng when he asked him back with such an attitude. He held back the curses that he wanted to say. Now that Gu Anhao was injured because she had saved Zuo Yue, Zuo Hancheng had been suppressing his emotions to maintain the peace in the family. However, everyone could see that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s patience had reached a critical point because of the innocent Gu Anhao. If he were to anger Zuo Hancheng again, the rift between the grandfather and grandson would probably never be completely repaired. The old man changed the topic.¡± The Zuo family has never been involved in the underworld. Although it is not uncommon to see people committing crimes with guns in the United States, the bullet was obviously aimed at Zuo Yue. Gu Anhao is innocent, but Hancheng, don¡¯t forget that when you first started your foundation in the United States ten years ago, I warned you that the Zuo family would not allow anyone to be involved in the underworld!¡± ¡°Back then, you would at least listen to me. Now, I know that your wings are getting stronger and stronger, but I will never allow you to use any of the forces related to those people back then because of Gu Anhao!¡± At this point, the old man suddenly said with a heavy gaze,¡±I¡¯ve heard some news in the past few years. Although you¡¯ve always avoided the Zuo family¡¯s eyes and ears, it¡¯s obvious that those people have never really left you. You can simply investigate Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng through your connections. I know you have the ability to settle this matter, but since you don¡¯t intend to let Gu Anhao get involved in these areas that she has never come into contact with, you should keep your position and be the CEO of Shengling Group. As for the rest, pretend that nothing happened.¡± After saying that, the old man did not want to say anything more, nor did he look at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes anymore. He could imagine what kind of attitude he would have now. Uncle Chen pushed the old man further and further away. The old man narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Zuo Yue Pavilion. Suddenly, he felt as if he had returned to ten years ago. At that time, Zuo Hancheng, who was only in his early twenties, had sworn in front of him that he would never be involved in the underworld again after Shengling Group was officially listed in the United States. This oath seemed to have never been broken, but it also seemed to have never been fulfilled. On the surface, Zuo Hancheng looked like he was just standing at the top of Shengling Group, busy with all the processes and matters that he should be busy with as the president of a multi-national corporation. However, when he moved Shengling Group to China eight years ago, he quickly wiped out the business circle in City A and established the company¡¯s foundation there. It was absolutely impossible for him to say that he did not use any tricks. He had turned a blind eye to it all these years and was unwilling to stop it, mostly because he trusted Zuo Hancheng. No matter what he did, he had his own plans and decisions, and he would not go overboard. However, after so many years of peace and quiet on the surface, no one could imagine how far the forces behind him had developed. He could only hope Gu Anhao¡¯s inexplicable injury should not become the fuse of any incident Uncle Chen pushed the old man away. Father Zuo looked at the direction the old man left in silence. After a moment, he turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. The coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes had already dissipated, but his expression was dull and one could not tell what he was thinking. Father Zuo said softly,¡±¡±Hancheng, are you hiding something from us?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze silently fell on Father Zuo. ¡°Although your mother and I like Anhao very much, we have a rough understanding of what happened three years ago. Although you have avoided the Zuo family¡¯s ears and ears, we still found out something through some channels. Anhao was not the daughter of Mayor Gu Tianming, so her surname might not be Gu.¡±Father Zuo said as he looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm face. ¡°With your usual efficiency, it¡¯s impossible that you didn¡¯t investigate her background after knowing that she had nothing to do with the Gu family. However, we haven¡¯t heard anything in the past few years, but you must have investigated. It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t reveal it to the public. So what was Anhao¡¯s background like? You never seemed to plan on mentioning it.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were as clear as a spring, but he stood quietly outside the door and did not answer Father Zuo¡¯s question. Until Father Zuo looked at her with a strange intuition.¡±Hancheng, if Anhao¡¯s background was simple, you wouldn¡¯t hide it. So, what exactly is her background? If her surname wasn¡¯t Gu, then what was her surname?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him and did not hide anything.¡±¡±Her surname is An, from the An family in New York.¡± The doubt in Father Zuo¡¯s eyes turned into shock.¡±¡± The Andersons in New York?!¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were indifferent and did not seem to be joking, Father Zuo frowned.¡±¡± The Andersons aren¡¯t ordinary people. You know what the old man is most angry about is that you and Anhao don¡¯t match in social status. If she¡¯s really a child of the Andersons in New York, then you can tell the old man about this and he won¡¯t make things difficult for you anymore ¡± ¡°If it¡¯s really that simple, then that would be great.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes narrowed as he looked at the direction where the old man had already walked away. In the dark night, it was mottled and cold. He said in a light voice,¡±¡±It¡¯s a pity that Grandpa is the same as the old master of the An family. He doesn¡¯t allow anyone in the family to get involved in the underworld. Anhao¡¯s background wasn¡¯t that simple, and there wouldn¡¯t be a good ending for her if she told him about it here.¡± Although Father Zuo was hesitant, he knew Zuo Hancheng¡¯s style very well. If he could not completely control and confirm something, he would never say a word to outsiders. Speaking of which, there should be something that went beyond his expectations and went out of his control. However, Father Zuo knew that he couldn¡¯t ask what it was, so he didn¡¯t ask anymore. In the room, the window was closed to prevent the wind from blowing on Anhao¡¯s wound that had just been treated. Before Zuo Hancheng walked back to his room, he closed the door to prevent the wind from entering. However, the stuffy heat in the room made Anhao, who was sleeping, frown uncomfortably. Sweat was already dripping down her forehead. The hands that had been quietly placed by her sides moved slightly. It was obvious that the effects of the anesthesia had gradually worn off. Zuo Hancheng entered the room, the bed was fine, and he was frowning. His fingers were slightly closed, and he clenched his fists. His eyes slowly opened, and his blurry vision gradually regained focus. His whole body was still numb, and he was not sure what he was doing. While his consciousness was slowly recovering, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure walked into her vision. Chapter 777 - Chapter 777: Entering From Behind Is Not Bad (1) Chapter 777: Entering From Behind Is Not Bad (1) Translator: 549690339 In fact, Anhao only had more wounds on her back. Some glass shards had pierced into her flesh and she needed anesthesia to reduce the pain. This was not considered an internal injury, but she had lost a lot of blood. Coupled with the unbearable pain, she looked much paler. Her consciousness gradually cleared. When she saw Zuo Hancheng, she smiled subconsciously.¡±When the doctor was treating the wound, I heard you getting angry.¡± However, her consciousness at that time was too blurry due to the anesthesia. Her eyes were dark and she could not see clearly. She did not know what they had said. Seeing that she could still smile after waking up, Zuo Hancheng pushed the hair on both sides of her cheeks behind her ears.¡±¡±There are a few stitches on the wound on his back. It should be painful for two days after the anesthetic effect wears off completely.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just some glass fragments.¡±After a few words, Anhao felt much better. Other than the numbness and coldness from the anesthesia, she couldn¡¯t get up.¡±How is Zuo Yue? Is she alright?¡± ¡°I was a little frightened, but I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Hancheng sat on the edge of the bed and lifted the blanket on her body.¡±¡±Don¡¯t move around for the next two days. Your waist injury has only recovered a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, your back is injured.¡± Hearing the ridicule in his words, Anhao¡¯s lips twitched.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t think much at that time. I was just thinking that Zuo Yue was pregnant. I didn¡¯t want anything to happen to her and the child, so I didn¡¯t know why I rushed over.¡± ¡°Oh, right.¡± ¡°What broke the glass?¡± Anhao asked again. Such thick glass, and the glass in Zuo Yue¡¯s room was the kind that had many layers of protective layers, but it could be shattered in an instant. I didn¡¯t even see what it was.¡± Anhao said as she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±It happened so suddenly that I didn¡¯t see anything clearly. Did anyone check the scene? Anyway, it definitely wouldn¡¯t be bricks or something. Those bricks weren¡¯t as strong as glass.¡± ¡°Rest well first and don¡¯t think too much. No matter what it is, it doesn¡¯t come with good intentions. The other party isn¡¯t here for you.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly, and at the same time, he pushed her messy hair on her shoulder to the other side of her neck. Seeing that she was clean from shoulder to top, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh at her.¡±You even know how to use your back to block for Zuo Yue. Looks like your brain wasn¡¯t completely damaged at that time. With your normal intelligence, you should have rushed over to face those glass fragments head-on and directly disfigured yourself.¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes. However, because she was lying on her stomach, the angle was not good, so she rolled her eyes awkwardly.¡±You¡¯re still mocking me at a time like this. Even if I¡¯m disfigured, I won¡¯t let you go. I¡¯ll bring my face full of scars to disgust you every day!¡± Anhao winked at him as she spoke. Zuo Hancheng saw her liveliness and smiled.¡±¡±If you keep moving, the anesthesia will wear off completely.¡± ¡°It hurts now.¡± Anhao suddenly felt wronged.¡± When the doctor disinfected me, I felt that those places on my back were already in so much pain that they didn¡¯t belong to me. I don¡¯t know what you guys were talking about, but I thought that I was resistant to the anesthetic, so I had been enduring it. Who knew that he would give me another shot? If I had known that the anesthetic was too weak, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to bear it. It hurt so much at that time .¡± Anhao complained as she tried to move her arm slowly. However, as soon as she moved, it was as if she was moving the wound on her back that had already been stitched up. She grimaced in pain and her eyes turned red.¡±Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It hurts ¡± Zuo Hancheng held her hand with an ugly expression.¡±¡±I¡¯m warning you not to move. How many times will you listen?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that it¡¯s very uncomfortable to keep my arm like this . Feeling stiff and numb, you help me straighten my arms, you let go, you keep bending, you¡¯re all crippled.¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her arm. When Anhao finished speaking, he looked at her aggrieved expression and helped her change the position of her arm. His movements were very gentle when he changed the position, but Anhao could not help but feel some pain. After all, his arms and shoulders were connected to his back. Even a little movement would affect the flesh on his back, but this felt much better. When she found a comfortable position, she buried her face in the pillow with a sad expression and muttered softly,¡±How many days do I have to lie here?¡± ¡°The other minor injuries aren¡¯t serious. You can¡¯t touch those stitched wounds. You have to lie on the bed like this for at least three to four days without moving.¡± ¡± Three or four days?!¡± Anhao was shocked.¡± ¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng looked at her self-seeking attitude and said,¡±¡±You¡¯ve developed quite well over the past few years. You won¡¯t die after three or four days.¡± ¡°Then it will be crushed ¡± Anhao buried her face in the pillow unwillingly.¡±¡±My waist injury has been lying like this for the past few days. Now, I have to lie down again. When will it end?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly.¡± Actually, it doesn¡¯t really affect me. I have someone to feed me food and water. From tomorrow onwards, as long as there¡¯s someone to support me when I go to the bathroom, I can get up and go to the bathroom as long as my wound isn¡¯t torn. As for the night ¡± He suddenly glanced at her lower body.¡±Late-entry is actually not bad.¡± Anhao¡¯s face darkened. She grabbed the pillow under her face and was about to throw it at him. However, the moment she moved, her back hurt so much that her face turned pale. She immediately slumped on the bed and scolded,¡±Bastard I¡¯m about to die and you still want to enter from behind. My small body is already like this. Can¡¯t you think of something else?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled, but he still lifted the blanket on her back when he saw that Anhao¡¯s face had turned pale from the pain. He checked the wound on her back to make sure that she had only pulled it a little and that the wound had not opened or anything else. Then, he gently covered her with the blanket again. ¡°If you continue to move, the stitched wound will easily open. You can¡¯t continue to administer anesthesia. If you don¡¯t want to die from the pain, lie down obediently.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded like he was joking, but it was so serious that An Hao could tell that he was only talking to her because he did not want her to be afraid of what had happened before. Anhao obediently stopped moving. She just closed her eyes and groaned sadly,¡±¡±Speaking of which, if I really face those fragments head-on and get disfigured Zuo Hancheng, will you kick me out?¡± Chapter 778 - Chapter 778: Entering From Behind Is Not Bad (2) Chapter 778: Entering From Behind Is Not Bad (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered without hesitation. Anhao immediately turned her head and rolled her eyes at him with dissatisfaction.¡±Shallow! No conscience! Cold-blooded!¡± Zuo Hancheng mocked her indifferently.¡±¡±If you really dare to receive those fragments head-on, it¡¯s enough to show how slow your brain is. If you don¡¯t even have a brain, what do I need you for?¡± Anhao was at a loss for words. She held it in for a long time before she spat out,¡±You¡¯re the brainless one Zuo Yue is pregnant. I don¡¯t want to see any baby in my mother¡¯s stomach miscarry in front of me again in this lifetime ¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change, but his hand gently rested on her shoulder.¡±¡±It won¡¯t happen again.¡± Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well.¡±You haven¡¯t been back for the past two days. What have you been busy with? Do you need to take care of Zuo¡¯s Enterprise on Dad¡¯s side for two days? Or is there something else?¡± The probing look in Anhao¡¯s eyes was obvious, but Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly and stroked her head as if he was coaxing a child. ¡°The foundation of the Zuo Corporation is stable. Even if Dad has not been paying attention to the company¡¯s affairs recently, there are still many vice presidents and managers under him. It won¡¯t cause any chaos in the company because there is no owner just because he didn¡¯t go.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just going to the Zuo Corporation to go through the motions. At least, I can¡¯t let people think that something happened to the Zuo Corporation. For the Zuo Corporation, it has a considerable scale.¡± Anhao hadn¡¯t been watching the news for the past few days. This was Los Angeles, so she didn¡¯t pay attention to the news or the newspapers. However, Zuo Hancheng made it sound very relaxed. If that was really the case, why would he rush back without sleeping or eating? These two nights, he might really have spent it in the way he said he would. But Anhao did not ask further. She just narrowed her eyes and rubbed her pale face against the soft pillow. Her voice was soft, like an injured kitten that needed someone to comfort her.¡±What time is it now?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at the time and said,¡± It¡¯s 11:30 at night.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so sleepy ¡± Anhao said again. At the same time, she buried her face in the pillow and said gloomily,¡±¡±Can you hug me to sleep?¡± Zuo Hancheng immediately raised his eyebrows and glanced at the girl who was rarely so proactive. ¡°My back hurts. I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t pay attention when I fall asleep at night and suddenly turn over or something. You can hug me to sleep beside me. At least you can hold me down so that I won¡¯t move.¡±Anhao found a random excuse. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll hug you to sleep, and at night, I¡¯ll act like a beast like you said and really do it with you?¡± Anhao suddenly fell silent. After holding it in for a long time, she said,¡±Hubby, sleep with me ¡± Hearing this rare call of her husband and her soft voice, any man would probably not be able to reject her. Including Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡± Anhao buried her face in the pillow and giggled in satisfaction. However, Anhao was extremely troubled by her work before she went to sleep. Because she couldn¡¯t move now, although the wounds on her body had been disinfected, she was sweating. The doctor had also instructed her to turn on the air conditioner only tomorrow morning. This night of 30 degrees was uncomfortable and difficult to bear. Zuo Hancheng lifted her blanket and removed the only pair of pants she had on her body. He helped her wipe every part of her body except her back. Although she felt dry and comfortable after being wiped, it was difficult to describe how she was still being moved by him, especially when he had to separate her legs when he was wiping her thighs. After cleaning her up, Anhao felt comfortable and embarrassed. She laid on the bed and pretended to be asleep. Not long after, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. After another ten minutes, Zuo Hancheng walked out of the bathroom. Anhao quietly opened her eyes and looked at Zuo Hancheng. The room was dim. The dim yellow light shone on the man¡¯s body. The silk bathrobe accentuated his perfectly proportioned body and made him look especially seductive. Every time Zuo Hancheng took a shower, Anhao could not take her eyes off him. She couldn¡¯t move now, so she stayed in his room with him. She felt a little hot and her throat was dry as she watched him walk out of the room. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng looked at her. Anhao quickly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep. Zuo Hancheng noticed the little girl¡¯s actions and smiled calmly. He did not sit down immediately when he walked to the bedside. He glanced at the two pages of medical records left by the doctor on the bedside table and picked them up to flip through them. He was sure that the medicine Anhao used today was fine and that the anesthetic injection she had given today was the latest anesthetic developed in the United States in the past five years. It was already the least harmful to the body. It wouldn¡¯t affect Anhao¡¯s normal recovery and future pregnancy. After he finished reading the list of drugs, Zuo Hancheng put down the two pages of documents in his hand and turned to look at Anhao, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. When he was looking at the two pages of the medical document, Anhao had secretly opened her eyes again. He pretended not to see it, but as soon as he turned his head, she quickly closed her eyes. He was really anxious to death! He was so anxious! She had originally wanted Zuo Hancheng to rest early! Although her reason was a little too high-sounding and it was too easy to see through, she purely wanted him to stop taking care of her until dawn and let him lie in bed to rest. After all, she did not have any internal injuries. It was just a flesh wound on her back. She did not want him to watch over her all night. Anhao was feeling anxious when she heard the movement beside the bed. It should be Zuo Hancheng coming over. She immediately listened to the movement without moving. Zuo Hancheng had taken off his clothes. Judging from the noise, he must have taken off his bathrobe and opened the closet door to change into other clothes. He was done changing He walked over Anhao¡¯s hands were placed quietly on both sides of the pillow until the other side of the bed sunk in. She then opened her eyes secretly. However, the moment she opened her eyes, she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, who was already leaning against her. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched when she met his gaze. She smiled at him and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s very late. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping?¡± ¡°Thank you for waiting, Mrs. Zuo. I¡¯ll go to sleep now.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were deep and his smile was warm. At the same time, he lifted the thin summer blanket behind her and tucked it in. Anhao¡¯s heart was filled with sweetness. Even though her back was still injured, her heart was filled with sweetness. She blinked twice and looked at Zuo Hancheng.¡±Zuo Yue said that someone had infiltrated into the house today. She seemed to know something.¡± Chapter 779 - Chapter 779: Entering From Behind Is Not Bad (3) Chapter 779: Entering From Behind Is Not Bad (3) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Go to sleep. You don¡¯t have to interfere in this matter.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes remained unchanged.¡± Anhao did not say anything else. She saw him lying down beside her and did not ask any more questions. Although she was not sure what had broken the window, Zuo Hancheng did not answer. Perhaps this was the answer that he did not want her to find out. She was now in the Zuo family, so she couldn¡¯t be as carefree as she was in A City. Moreover, many people in America had different lifestyle from China. For example, in many cities in the United States, citizens were allowed to carry guns legally. If the broken window today was the kind of shooting incident that she had imagined, then she really did not want to know too much about it. Of course, she did not want Zuo Hancheng to get too involved in this matter. However, this was not something she could control. Anhao suddenly moved her hand on the pillow slightly. Because she was very close to Zuo Hancheng, she only moved her hand slightly to the side. She could touch his shoulder without touching the wound on her back. She placed her hand on his shoulder and felt his real presence and warmth. She whispered,¡±Zuo Hancheng, you promised me that you would never let me not find you.¡± ¡°Of course. Am I not by your side now? Why? Did you use too much anesthesia to draw out the sentimental nerves that you¡¯ve always lacked?¡±Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on hers and placed it on his shoulder.¡±¡±Go to sleep. I guarantee that this will not happen again in the Zuo family. The security facilities in the Zuo family have always been perfect, but this time, because there has been no dangerous time for many years, the security system and some security personnel have slacked off, which led to this incident.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of this.¡± Anhao turned to look at him, but when she saw the gentleness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and his soft comforting voice, her heart softened. She was not shocked. She just suddenly felt that perhaps she could stop caring about the An family in New York. She just wanted to return to A City with Zuo Hancheng as soon as possible. I want to go back to Liujing Garden. Only there could she feel grounded. Only there could she feel that Zuo Hancheng was the Zuo Hancheng she saw in front of her, and not the so-called A different Zuo Hancheng Did he accidentally touch a sentimental nerve? She had always been a big-headed person. How would she know what sentimentality was? Anhao closed her eyes, but she kept her hand on his shoulder, allowing his warm palm to wrap around her hand. Time passed by, and before Anhao fell asleep, she muttered softly as if she was sleeptalking,¡±¡± The baby cot in the bedroom on the second floor of Liu Jing Garden is really beautiful ¡± Her voice was very soft, but Zuo Hancheng turned to look at her. As soon as Anhao finished speaking, she gradually fell asleep. The effect of the anesthesia had not completely worn off. She felt dizzy and uncomfortable from lying down for too long. Moreover, she had lost a lot of blood during the day. It was already good that she could persist until now. Zuo Hancheng looked at her for a long time. His hand that was originally wrapped around her hand gradually tightened. He gently lifted her hand, trying not to pull on the wound on her back. At the same time, he gently kissed the back of her hand. Anhao was allowed to get out of bed for three whole days. However, she could not twist her body when she got out of bed. The wound on her back was not particularly big, so as long as she did not jump or twist too arrogantly, the wound would not be a problem. Finally, she could get out of bed and see the wind. With the help of the servants in the Zuo residence, she put on a loose silk dress that would not tightly wrap around her back and walked out. Zuo Hancheng had not left the Zuo family¡¯s house for the past few days when she was lying on her stomach in her room and could not move. He was by her side for almost twenty hours out of the twenty-four hours a day. Even if the company in A City had urgent company matters to deal with, he would move everything to the study room and not let himself leave her sight. It was also because of this that Anhao¡¯s wound recovered relatively smoothly. Otherwise, with her personality that was almost equivalent to hyperactivity disorder, it was likely that the wound would show signs of cracking. Zuo Hancheng went out this morning because of a phone call. Coincidentally, when the doctor came over to help her apply the medicine today, he said that she could get out of bed. After giving some instructions, Anhao ran out happily. The servant was afraid that something had happened to her, so she followed her out.¡±Madam, be careful. If you pull the wound, Mr. Zuo will blame us when he comes back.¡± ¡°I know what to do. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Anhao smiled and turned to look at the servant. Just as she was about to go to the attic where Zuo Yue was at to see Zuo Yue, the servant saw the direction she was walking in and said,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, Miss Sun suddenly started bleeding this morning. She has been sent to the hospital by an ambulance and is not in the Zuo residence now.¡± Anhao stopped in her tracks. No wonder Zuo Hancheng hesitated for a moment before leaving after receiving the call in the morning. It turned out that something had happened to Zuo Yue. ¡°Bleeding? Is it serious?¡± Anhao turned around and asked. The servant shook her head.¡± I¡¯m not sure, but I heard from Mother Wang that there wasn¡¯t much blood. I don¡¯t know why he was sent to the hospital. Old Master Zuo and Madam also went with him. Only Old Master Zuo is at home. Do you want to see him?¡±¡± Recalling that the old man had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, Anhao thought for a moment and shook her head.¡±¡±I¡¯d better not go and cause trouble in front of him. Which hospital is Zuo Yue in? I¡¯ll go see her.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. Before Mr. Zuo left this morning, he told us to keep an eye on you and not let you go anywhere. Because of the doctor¡¯s orders, it¡¯s already risky for Mrs. Zuo to get out of bed and walk around. If you leave the Zuo residence, I¡¯m afraid .¡± Before the servant could finish her sentence, she suddenly turned to look behind Anhao and nodded respectfully.¡±Mister Zuo.¡± Anhao was stunned. She turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng, who had rushed back from the hospital so early.¡±You¡¯re back? How was Zuo Yue? Are you alright? Did he bleed a lot?¡± Zuo Hancheng had already received the doctor¡¯s call. He knew that Anhao could get out of bed and walk around today. Seeing that her clothes were loose enough to not strangle the wound on her back, he did not ask her about getting out of bed and going out. However, when he heard Anhao¡¯s series of questions, he did not answer them at first. Instead, he gave the servant a look, indicating that the servant should leave first. The servant understood and left respectfully. Zuo Hancheng then said,¡±¡±I haven¡¯t gone to the hospital yet. Did she tell you about Zuo Yue?¡± He used his eyes to point in the direction where the servant had left. ¡± You don¡¯t blame her, I just wanted to go to Zuo Yue¡¯s place, she just told me that Zuo Yue isn¡¯t at home now, and told me the reason briefly.¡±¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you go out after receiving the call this morning?¡± Anhao hurriedly explained. Why didn¡¯t you go to the hospital?¡± Chapter 780 - Chapter 780: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (1) Chapter 780: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (1) Translator: 549690339 ¡°I went out for other things, not Zuo Yue. But I will rush to the hospital for a check-up now. Be good at home and be careful not to let your wound come into contact with water.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he put his arm around Anhao¡¯s waist, avoiding the wound on her back as he was about to send her back to her room. ¡°I suspect that Mom and Dad are planning to take advantage of this time to send Zuo Yue to the hospital so that she can abort the child.¡±Anhao said softly. ¡°You know?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Dad and Mom definitely won¡¯t let the child in her stomach stay, but I see that Zuo Yue has been guarding her stomach. If she¡¯s sent to the hospital this time, Dad and Mom will take advantage of the time when she¡¯s being treated ¡®to get the doctor to abort the child. I¡¯m afraid that Zuo Yue won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. It was obvious that he had already had such concerns. If the Zuo family had not been concerned about Zuo Yue¡¯s feelings, they would not have let her be discharged first and come back to recuperate. Now, they took advantage of Zuo Yue¡¯s bleeding to send her back in a hurry. This was nothing more than finding an excuse to abort the child. ¡± Moreover, I feel that the situation between her and Uncle is definitely not as simple as what the family thinks. Zuo Yue is not a child. Since she insists on having this child, she must have her reasons. Otherwise, she would not have refused to eat for five days and would rather leave than risk her life ¡± After Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng immediately turned around and walked out. Anhao also turned around and followed him.¡±What if she continues to starve herself? If the child was gone, she might not even have a reason to live. Xu Chengfeng had cruelly sent her back a month ago, so something must have happened between the two of them. Father and Mother only felt that the child in her stomach could not be kept, but Zuo Yue¡¯s mental endurance might be lower than we imagined.¡± When Anhao followed Zuo Hancheng out of the door, Zuo Hancheng suddenly glanced at her, then at her clothes.¡±¡±Go back. Don¡¯t wander around.¡± Anhao paused for a moment.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and did not say anything else this time. He left on his own. Even though Anhao followed him all the way, he did not stop her. When he arrived at the parking lot of the Zuo residence, there were a few high-end sports cars shared by the Zuo family. Zuo Hancheng had not been in the United States for the past few years, so he did not know which car he had used before. He reckoned that it had been replaced a long time ago. However, when he walked to one of the cars, he gave a few instructions to the manager beside the parking lot. In less than ten minutes, they delivered a soft and thick cushion. When Zuo Hancheng opened the car door, he placed the cushion in the passenger seat. Anhao, who was standing at the side, understood Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intentions when she saw his actions. It was not until Zuo Hancheng turned around and motioned for her to get into the car that she smiled.¡±It¡¯s just a minor flesh wound. You¡¯re making it seem like I¡¯m the one who needs to be taken care of when I¡¯m pregnant.¡± ¡°Get in the car. Stop talking nonsense.¡± Zuo Hancheng went around the car. Anhao was embarrassed for a moment. She quickly moved closer to the car and sat down. When she sat down, she felt that the back of the car was soft as if it didn¡¯t exist. Although there was a slight friction with her back, the pain was almost negligible. ¡°Why did you suddenly agree to let me go?¡±Anhao asked. ¡°Seeing that you are the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family and that you want to serve the Zuo family so much, I can¡¯t give you no chance.¡± Anhao¡¯s face twitched.¡± You¡¯re really scheming. If I make a contribution, you won¡¯t have to waste your breath on Grandpa anymore, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and chuckled. It was the same Chinese hospital from last time. It was said that this hospital was very famous in the United States. Many Chinese and Chinese people from various cities in the United States often came here to see a doctor. When Anhao and Zuo Hancheng arrived at the hospital, Zuo Yue was accompanied by Mother Wang and Mother Zuo in various consultation rooms for a checkup. Father Zuo was waiting quietly in the corridor. Father Zuo was a little surprised when he saw them. He walked over and asked about Anhao¡¯s previous injury. He then said that the trauma doctor in this hospital was a very good expert. Although the family doctor hired by the family was also very professional, since she was here, he suggested that she go to the trauma doctor in this hospital to check the wound on her back to prevent the glass fragments from being cleaned up. Although Anhao knew that Father Zuo had sent her away on purpose, it seemed that he had something to discuss with Zuo Hancheng. Anhao knew that there were too many sensitive points in the Zuo family now, so she did not stay there. Zuo Hancheng called Mother Wang, who had just walked out of the consultation room, to accompany her. Right now, Zuo Yue was still undergoing a check-up, so she couldn¡¯t see her. Anhao would seem too deliberate if she waited outside, so she could only follow Wang Ma to the trauma department to take a look. They had just arrived on the second floor of the Chinese hospital when Mother Wang called the nurse to make an appointment with the trauma doctor. Anhao stood rooted to the ground. She didn¡¯t know why her mood was suddenly in a mess, as if something was about to happen. She turned around and went to the window on the other side of the corridor to get some fresh air. Suddenly, just as she was passing by the elevator door, the elevator door opened beside her and two people walked out into her sight. When she saw the older woman¡¯s face, Anhao¡¯s eyes trembled and her hands and feet turned cold. However, the woman did not look at her. Beside the woman was a girl in her twenties. She was talking to the older woman affectionately. Her arm was linked with the older woman¡¯s arm, looking very intimate. Anhao¡¯s heart was filled with a surge of emotions. The two men didn¡¯t notice her as they turned around and walked past her after they walked out of the elevator. At this moment, Wang Ma suddenly came over and called her,¡±Mrs. Zuo, the doctor has already made an appointment. You can go now.¡±¡± The two of them happened to be talking to Wang Ma at this time. When they heard the words Mrs. Zuo, the older woman stopped and suddenly turned around to look behind her. Anhao stared at the woman in a daze. When their eyes met, she saw a flash of shock in the woman¡¯s eyes. However, the woman quickly retracted her emotions and turned her head back, still with her back facing her. ¡°Mom, I already told you that you can just go to a hospital in New York. If you insist on coming to Los Angeles, even if your old friend is in this hospital, can¡¯t you just invite him to New York?¡±The young girl next to the woman spoke in a coquettish voice with a hint of spoiled arrogance. Her hand had been holding the woman¡¯s arm. Seeing that they had walked far away, Anhao still stood rooted to the spot. When her phone rang, she picked it up and put it beside her ear. ¡°Did you see the trauma doctor?¡± It was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. However, Anhao stared blankly at the direction where the two people disappeared at the door of the other consultation room. She said in a very soft and almost empty voice,¡±Zuo Hancheng. I seem to be . I saw my mother ¡° Chapter 781 - Chapter 781: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (2) Chapter 781: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (2) Translator: 549690339 In the hospital corridor, Anhao put down the phone and turned to look in the direction where the woman disappeared. ¡°Mrs. Zuo? The doctor has already made an appointment and is waiting for you in the consultation room. What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡± Wang Ma walked to Anhao¡¯s side and asked with concern. Anhao shook her head gently. After looking around the corridor on this floor, she suddenly walked towards the consultation rooms in front of her. However, she didn¡¯t stop outside the trauma department¡¯s consultation room. Mother Wang was about to call out to her when she saw Anhao suddenly stop outside another consultation room in front of her. She only took a glance inside before suddenly stopping. At the same time, she stood quietly by the wall outside the door. Wang Ma was puzzled, but she could see that Anhao was acting strangely. She was afraid of scaring her, so she didn¡¯t call her and quietly walked to her side. With a concerned look in her eyes, she asked softly,¡±Mrs. Zuo, are you alright?¡± However, the answer she got was still Anhao¡¯s sudden silence. At this moment, the conversation from inside attracted all of Anhao¡¯s attention. ¡± Doctor, my mom¡¯s headache is an old problem. A few years ago, a doctor said that she had a dizzy headache similar to Meniere¡¯s syndrome. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s not that serious. But if she has too much on her mind and thinks too much about everything, she¡¯ll easily suffer from this problem. She¡¯ll faint and vomit. It doesn¡¯t look good ¡± The girl, who looked to be in her early twenties, was running around the woman eagerly, but her attitude towards the doctor was a little arrogant. It was obvious that she did not have much hope for the doctor in Los Angeles, and she only casually mentioned her condition. The doctor glanced at the young girl and then looked at the woman sitting quietly beside him.¡±This is your daughter?¡± However, the woman did not answer immediately. Instead, she paused for a moment and said to the girl beside her,¡±Go out first. I¡¯ll talk to the doctor.¡± The girl was puzzled because of her hesitation just now. Usually, her mother would readily admit that she was her daughter, but why did she seem a little hesitant today? She thought that her mother was too sick to say much. Doubt flashed in the girl¡¯s heart, and she said to the doctor,¡±You must be my mom¡¯s famous old friend in the medical field in Los Angeles. Please, my mom is usually very healthy. Other than her insomnia and headaches, she¡¯s definitely a healthy old lady ¡± She was only fifty years old, and the woman was somewhat helpless. She looked at the girl beside her, and even if she was teased and called as a little old lady, she didn¡¯t feel angry. She just smiled and looked at the doctor again. The girl could tell that her mother had a good relationship with the doctor, so her attitude was no longer as disapproving as before. After saying a few more words, she realized that the doctor was always looking at her with a mysterious expression that seemed to be smiling or not smiling. She made her feel awkward, and in the end, she could only obediently walk out of the consultation room. When she saw the faint smile in the doctor¡¯s eyes, the woman who was left in the consultation room sighed and said,¡±I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve spoiled this child so much that he often speaks without restraint.¡± The doctor smiled faintly,¡±I can see that you¡¯ve spoiled me quite a bit.¡± ¡± When the girl walked out, she was on the phone at the same time, so she didn¡¯t notice her mother and the doctor¡¯s meaningful words. As she walked out, she suddenly saw Anhao standing outside the door and Wang Ma, who looked like a servant. The girl held the phone in one hand and her bag in the other. Her eyes swept across Anhao¡¯s body, and she vaguely felt that she looked a little familiar. However, it was only for a moment before her attention was attracted by the person on the phone. ¡°I accompanied my mother to Los Angeles for treatment. She said that she has a good friend in the psychiatrist. She only has a headache. I really don¡¯t understand her, but that doctor seems to be quite good. In a place like the United States, even if it¡¯s a Chinese hospital, there are still people queuing outside the consultation room. I heard that only hospitals in China often queue up ¡± As the girl spoke, she had already walked far away. She no longer took the two people standing in front of the consultation room seriously. The girl on the other end of the phone was talking about something, and Anhao¡¯s attention quickly shifted from her to the door. However, the conversation inside wasn¡¯t very loud, so she couldn¡¯t hear it clearly. ¡°Mrs. Zuo.¡± Mother Wang didn¡¯t understand why Mrs. Zuo was standing outside the psychiatric consultation room with only a superficial wound on her back. She thought she had seen wrongly, so she stood behind her and reminded her in a low voice,¡±The trauma department is the second door behind. The doctor is already waiting for you.¡± ¡°Wang Ma.¡± Anhao turned around and replied,¡± Help me apologize to the trauma doctor. I might be delayed for a while.¡±¡± Mother Wang was puzzled for a moment, but she didn¡¯t ask any more questions. She turned around and walked straight to the trauma department¡¯s consultation room. Anhao stood alone outside the door. Even though she couldn¡¯t hear anything and was separated by a door, it was as if she had been separated from the truth for the past eight to nine years. She slowly raised her hand and pressed it against the door. She couldn¡¯t see anything inside, but when the two of them looked at each other just now, Anhao was sure that she hadn¡¯t recognized the wrong person. But, was that girl her daughter? How was this possible? If she was really the person he thought she was, then she should only have one daughter, and that was him. Moreover, that girl looked about the same age as him. How could all of this be possible? Did he make a mistake? Or did something happen that she didn¡¯t know about? Anhao slowly put her hand on the door and leaned against the wall. The slight pain on her back reminded her that this was not a dream. The elevator door opened at this moment. The girl who was on the phone was chatting and laughing with her friend on the other end of the phone. She said,¡±Then I can only go and see it when I return to New York. I know about the new summer clothes that were released this year. I don¡¯t have time to watch the catwalk at all. You guys have to wait for me .¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly turned to look at the exceptionally handsome man who walked out of the elevator. The moment she saw the man, her eyes flashed with surprise, and her voice instantly choked. Her eyes stared at the man who walked out of the elevator with a cold expression. ¡± I saw a top-grade item. I¡¯ll call you back later. I¡¯m hanging up now ¡± The girl quickly hung up the phone and turned around to follow the man. She was wondering if she should go over and talk to him, but she saw the man¡¯s tall figure walking towards the girl standing outside the door. Chapter 782 - Chapter 782: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (3) Chapter 782: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (3) Translator: 549690339 Mother Wang walked out of the trauma department¡¯s consultation room. When she saw Zuo Hancheng, she stood at the side and greeted him respectfully,¡±¡±Mister Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Wang Ma, but he didn¡¯t stop and walked straight to Anhao. Anhao was standing outside the door at the moment. It was only when Zuo Hancheng walked to her side and placed his hand on her shoulder that she snapped back to reality and turned to look at him. ¡°Inside?¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. At the same time, he glanced at the door in front of her. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. Actually, she didn¡¯t expect him to come here at the last minute. Zuo Hancheng took another look at the name of the department and immediately knew who the doctor was. The doctor inside was an old friend of his father¡¯s. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was about to enter, Anhao was shocked and quickly raised her hand to stop him.¡±¡±Don¡¯t.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her complicated expression.¡±¡±If I don¡¯t go in and take a closer look and confirm it, do I have to leave this doubt and doubt behind? I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to sleep at night.¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± Anhao held his hand tightly. Zuo Hancheng could tell from the strength of her hand that Anhao was in a state of shock. She was trying her best to hide it and suppress it under her calm surface. After all, he was the person who had rolled down the stairs and laid in a pool of blood in front of her before she was fourteen years old. After all, he had passed away in her heart for so many years. After so many years, she actually met him again one day. However, Anhao was not sure. ¡°It¡¯s impossible for my mother to have another daughter.¡±Anhao suddenly said stubbornly,¡±Maybe I¡¯m mistaken. Maybe they just look alike ¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Zuo Hancheng seemed to have noticed the girl who was walking over from the other side. With just a glance, he could tell that there was something strange about the girl¡¯s charm. Zuo Hancheng did not say much. He only looked at Anhao who was holding his arm tightly, but his eyes were cold and heavy. How could his mother be mistaken? ¡°If you¡¯re afraid of being too abrupt, I¡¯ll make an appointment with this doctor later and accompany you in to avoid being abrupt.¡±Zuo Hancheng took his arm away when she let go, but at the same time, he lowered his hand and held her cold little hand. However, Anhao suddenly turned around and left, as if she was afraid that the woman inside would see her. Zuo Hancheng immediately pulled her back.¡± Don¡¯t forget the reason why we came back to America. It¡¯s not just because of Zuo Yue. The more important reason is your mother and the An family. Even if you want to run away, how long can you run away?¡±¡± ¡°What if I¡¯m wrong? It was impossible for her to have another daughter.¡±Anhao mumbled. At the same time, she looked at the girl who had already walked over. In an instant, the blood in her entire body seemed to have frozen. If that person was really his mother, if this girl was really her daughter, then his understanding would probably be completely turned upside down. The girl¡¯s attention was not on Anhao at all. She just walked over and looked at Zuo Hancheng with a smile of admiration in her eyes. Because her attention was completely on Zuo Hancheng, she did not notice that he was holding Anhao¡¯s hand. ¡°Sir, have we met before? Do you have a business card? Can I take a look at your business card? Maybe we¡¯ve really met before?¡±The girl¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at Zuo Hancheng. She had already raised her hand, waiting for him to hand over his business card. Anhao¡¯s expression froze, and her eyes suddenly turned sharp as she looked at the girl. Wasn¡¯t this way of hitting on him too deliberate? Where did she think everyone in the world had met her before? Moreover, the relationship between this girl and the woman inside was unclear. Anhao had an inexplicable feeling for this girl. Because of her deliberate attempt to strike up a conversation with Zuo Hancheng, she looked at her with a slightly cold expression. The coldness in her eyes was obvious. Zuo Hancheng heard the girl¡¯s words but ignored her. His gaze only swept past her lightly before he dragged Anhao to another trauma consultation room. Instead of standing here and stalling for time, it was better to let the doctor take a look at the injury on her back first. However, the girl didn¡¯t seem to have been ignored at all. She continued to look at him with shining eyes.¡±Sir, I really think I¡¯ve seen you somewhere before. I think it¡¯s on the global business news .¡± At this moment, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said,¡±¡±Then I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re mistaken. I¡¯ve never appeared in any news footage.¡± ¡°No, I really think I¡¯ve seen you on the news before, but I¡¯m not interested in those news and haven¡¯t listened to them carefully.¡± The girl was about to walk closer, but she noticed that his hands were surrounding the girl beside him in a protective manner. He did not seem to want to say anything more to her at all. He just brought the girl with a cold expression to the other consultation room. She clearly felt that she seemed to have disturbed him. It seemed that this extremely good-looking man might have already gotten married, but the girl still did not feel frustrated at being ignored. She just stared at his back and muttered,¡±I must have seen it before ¡± Zuo Hancheng acted as if he did not hear him and brought Anhao to the consultation room of the trauma department. Anhao¡¯s expression was a little unfriendly and she blurted out,¡±Zuo Hancheng, why do you attract bees everywhere you go?¡± Zuo Hancheng could tell that Anhao, who was still a little emotional, was gradually recovering her fighting strength. He sighed and laughed. He whispered in her ear,¡±¡±If you¡¯re afraid that I¡¯ll come out and attract bees and butterflies, then I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to think of a way to tie me to the company and home. This way, I¡¯ll have a two-point and one-line life every day, and I won¡¯t have the chance to come out and attract bees and butterflies again.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him. There were tens of thousands of female employees who wanted to have a chance encounter with you, and countless people dreamed of defeating me and marrying you.¡± ¡°Can Mrs. Zuo be easily defeated?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her jealous expression with a half-smile.¡±¡±I¡¯ve been waiting for you to protect me every day, Mrs. Zuo, so that I won¡¯t be touched by other women. You¡¯re good. You¡¯ve been injured again and again, and you¡¯ve never let me worry.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know why she was feeling so upset. That girl clearly didn¡¯t communicate much with her. They didn¡¯t even look at each other. They were strangers to begin with. It was one thing for her to call that woman her mother, but she ignored her existence and tried to hit on Zuo Hancheng, which made her feel an inexplicable disgust. This disgust was something that even Rong Xue and Bai Weiwei did not make her feel. It was true! How annoying! Chapter 783 - Chapter 783: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (4) Chapter 783: Mother and Daughter Meet Again After Eight Years (4) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was able to cooperate with the doctor¡¯s examination under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s supervision. After three days of recuperation in bed, the injury on her back had recovered a lot more than they had expected. The doctor even praised her recovery ability. As long as the wound healed, they could start to perform a series of scar removal methods on her back. In short, as long as the right method was used, the scar could be removed within three months. Anhao vaguely heard the doctor mention the scar after she was anesthetized, but she didn¡¯t pay much attention to it because it was on her back. Of course, it would be better if it could be removed, so that he wouldn¡¯t dare to look back at his back in the mirror when he took a shower in the future. The doctor checked her again with a device. After confirming that there were no small glass fragments left on her back, she did not need to apply the medicine again. She only asked her to go back and continue to use the medicine prescribed by the family doctor. At the same time, she should be careful not to touch water and so on. When they left the consultation room, Mother Wang was waiting outside. When she saw them come out, she smiled and went up to them.¡±Mr. Zuo, is there any problem with Madam¡¯s back injury?¡± Mother Wang was an old lady in the family. Even though she was only a servant, her qualifications were similar to Uncle Chen¡¯s. Zuo Hancheng was very polite to Mother Wang. After responding, he looked in the direction of the consultation room not far away. The girl from before was gone, and the door to the consultation room was tightly shut. Sensing that Zuo Hancheng was about to go there, Anhao quickly raised her hand and grabbed his arm. ¡°Anyway, I don¡¯t plan to return to the An family for the time being. I¡¯ll focus on Zuo Yue¡¯s matter first. As for my matter, we¡¯ll talk about it when I return to the An family.¡±Anhao grabbed his arm tightly, trying to stop him from going over. ¡°It¡¯s not a good thing to keep delaying. Since we¡¯ve met, we should face it. I¡¯m here for everything.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and held her hand, bringing the dejected Anhao to the psychiatric consultation room. However, just as the two of them walked over, an intern who came over saw them in front of the consultation room and asked politely,¡±May I ask if you have an appointment with Dr. Cai? Dr. Cai has gone to a patient with special symptoms to have a specialist consultation with several other doctors in the same department. He has just left for about five minutes. If you have already made an appointment, please wait in the lounge next door. Dr. Cai will be back in the consultation room in about two hours.¡± After Zuo Hancheng heard that, he glanced at the tightly shut door again. Anhao did not wait for him to make any further plans and pulled his arm forcefully towards the elevator.¡±Since they¡¯ve already left, let¡¯s go and see Zuo Yue. Dad and Mom are still with Zuo Yue. I wonder if the baby in her stomach can be preserved.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and stopped her from walking towards the elevator. He looked down at Anhao, who had been suppressing her emotions.¡±Your courage was stolen by a cat? I don¡¯t remember Gu Anhao being someone who liked to run away.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t explain. She suddenly pushed him away, turned around, and walked quickly to the elevator. As she walked, she said,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, let¡¯s go to A City earlier. I don¡¯t want to go to New York anymore. I don¡¯t want to go to the An family. I don¡¯t care if I was born from a rock or if I was deliberately abandoned in A City. Didn¡¯t you say it before? As long as I have you, it¡¯s enough. So let¡¯s not go back to the Andersons, okay?¡± As Anhao spoke, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was already walking over. She confirmed again,¡±¡±I don¡¯t like America. I want to go back to A City.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not force her anymore. He placed his hand on her head silently as if he was giving her endless strength. He stroked her soft hair. ¡°My Mrs. Zuo shouldn¡¯t have to endure such unfair treatment. I know it¡¯s not that you don¡¯t dare to face it. Anhao, tell me the reason for your hesitation and hesitation.¡± Hesitation? Perhaps, all this while, she had been expressing her fear of the An family and her doubts about Anping¡¯s death. Perhaps she should really hesitate now. Anhao sniffed and didn¡¯t say anything while waiting for the elevator. Mother Wang had already walked a little further away and was very polite not to eavesdrop on their conversation. ¡°When she saw me just now, she clearly recognized me.¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was a little depressed and cold.¡±When she left me, I was already fourteen years old. No matter how much I change now, she will still recognize me. She clearly recognized me, but she didn¡¯t come over to acknowledge me.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand stopped on her head for a moment. He saw the hatred in her eyes and said,¡±¡±So you don¡¯t plan to acknowledge her anymore?¡± Anhao just stared at the elevator door silently. In the end, she was still the same cat who had bared her fangs and brandished her claws. She said something about nervousness and fear. These emotions probably could not cover up the coldness that gradually grew in her heart. ¡°I couldn¡¯t believe that my mother really faked her death.¡±Anhao¡¯s eyes were dim but sharp.¡±Even when the people I found were helping me investigate her and said that they suspected that she wasn¡¯t dead, I thought they were all crazy! You¡¯re all lunatics!¡± ¡°She had a terminal illness like a malignant tumor, so she had no choice but to send me to the Gu family. She fell down the stairs in front of me alive and was lying motionless in the blood.¡±Anhao¡¯s tone became colder and colder. Even if I¡¯m afraid of the An family, the reason why I¡¯m willing to go is more to make sure that she¡¯s really still alive.¡± ¡°Now, I don¡¯t have to go anymore.¡±Anhao pursed her lips tightly after she said that. She took two deep breaths before she laughed at herself,¡±¡±She¡¯s actually still alive and well in front of me. She doesn¡¯t acknowledge me, and she even has a new daughter Zuo Hancheng, it doesn¡¯t matter to me whether I go back to the An family or not. When I¡¯m sure that she really faked her death and left me in the Gu family in such a terrible and heartless way, whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I don¡¯t have a mother. My mother is already dead!¡± The elevator door opened at this moment. Anhao was about to walk in when Zuo Hancheng suddenly hugged her waist and did not let her leave.¡±Are you willing to be abandoned like this?¡± ¡°Do I still have a choice? If I had known the truth when I was fourteen, I might still have thought of a way to ask. But after so many years, she was already dead in my heart. I had to accept it even if I was unwilling.¡±Anhao¡¯s gaze was very, very indifferent, and her voice had already turned from cold to indifferent. Zuo Hancheng gripped her wrist tightly.¡±¡±Are you willing? I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Zuo. As your husband, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not as magnanimous as you in this matter. I can¡¯t accept this.¡± Chapter 784 - Chapter 784: After Eight Years, Mother and Daughter Meet Again Again (5) Chapter 784: After Eight Years, Mother and Daughter Meet Again Again (5) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone was so serious that Anhao¡¯s expression froze for a moment. She said,¡± If Grandpa can¡¯t always accept me because of my unclear background, I believe that time can catalyze everything that¡¯s impossible. At the very least, grandfather hasn¡¯t really ¡± However, Zuo Hancheng smiled and said,¡±¡±Do you think I brought you back to the Andersons so that you can successfully establish yourself in the Zuo family? Mrs. Zuo, even if you were born from a rock, no one can decide whether you want to stay or leave. Clearly, you have the wrong goal from the beginning.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was instantly silenced. Zuo Hancheng brought her into the elevator. When the elevator door closed, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold face reflected on the door. At the same time, his voice sounded with a freezing temperature. ¡°I need to know what kind of reason would make a mother heartlessly abandon her daughter.¡± His hand was still on her hand and he didn¡¯t let Anhao move away. His voice was still cold and clear.¡±I didn¡¯t go back to the Andersons to verify your identity and make Grandpa relent, nor did I go back to seek justice for you. I wanted everyone to see you and take a good look at you.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice became very soft and slow when he said the last five words. Anhao didn¡¯t have a chance to retort for a moment. That sentence of ¡°take a good look at you¡± turned her incomprehension and hatred for An Ping into a nameless flame. ¡°Anhao, I¡¯m not going back to the An family to acknowledge my ancestors. I¡¯m going to win a battle.¡± When the elevator stopped, the two of them walked out. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded like it was unintentional, but every word was sonorous and powerful, slow and deep. Zuo Yue had already gone through a few consultation rooms. As soon as she came out of the consultation room, Anhao had already followed Zuo Hancheng back to Zuo Yue¡¯s floor. When Zuo Yue saw Anhao and Zuo Hancheng, it was as if she had seen her savior. Her initially expressionless face instantly lit up with joy. She immediately freed her hand from Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan¡¯s grip and turned around to walk towards Anhao. ¡°Sister-in-law, why are you here? Is the injury on your back better?¡± It was not until Zuo Yue¡¯s hand was on Anhao¡¯s hand that Anhao¡¯s gaze swept across Zuo Yue¡¯s body. At the same time, she felt Zuo Yue¡¯s hand tightly holding her hand. In an instant, she could feel Zuo Yue¡¯s fear from a moment ago. Anhao immediately raised her head and looked in the direction of Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan. It was obvious that because of Anhao¡¯s sudden appearance on this floor, it was not convenient for Xu Yuan to say what she wanted to say to Zuo Yue at the moment. She and Zuo Yue¡¯s father looked at each other with a hint of worry in their eyes. ¡°I only have some external injuries.¡±Anhao¡¯s voice rang out. At the same time, she asked as if she did not know anything,¡±¡±Dad, Mom, I heard that Zuo Yue was bleeding this morning. What was the result of the doctor¡¯s examination? Is the bleeding bleeding serious?¡± It was not convenient for Father Zuo to say such things. Father Zuo, Xu Yuan, sighed slightly and smiled at Anhao.¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. Zuo Yue¡¯s health has been good since she was young. The one in her stomach .¡± Mother Zuo hesitated for a moment before continuing,¡±¡±Her vitality is very tenacious. She¡¯s still safe and sound after going through many twists and turns. However, Zuo Yue was frightened in the morning, so we called the ambulance to pick her up directly to avoid any delay and accidents.¡± If it was just bleeding, no matter how anxious he was, he would not call an ambulance. It was obvious that the two elders had been thinking of ways to get Zuo Yue to abort the child. They did not know what they had said to Zuo Yue on the way, nor did they know what Zuo Yue had heard during the checkup. In short, Zuo Yue¡¯s hand was very cold now. Moreover, she was usually more lively than him and liked to behave atrociously. But now, she was holding her hand tightly like the most helpless person. It was as if in the entire Zuo family, the only people who could temporarily make her parents not mention these things were Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng was her biological brother, so Zuo Yue was naturally embarrassed to mention him. If she mustered up her courage to say it, it would probably have the opposite effect, so Zuo Yue could only hold Anhao¡¯s hand now. Although her eyes were a little hidden, Anhao was about the same age as Zuo Yue, so she could roughly understand the resistance she had towards her family. ¡°Did the doctor tell you to stay in the hospital or go home to rest?¡±Anhao asked. ¡°Let me go home.¡± Zuo Yue replied, at the same time, she stood by Anhao¡¯s side, and she was not planning to go to her parents ¡®side again. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s actions, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother was about to come over and speak when he said,¡±¡±Wang Ma, send Zuo Yue downstairs and wait for us in the car.¡± Mother Wang nodded and walked over to support Zuo Yue.¡±Miss Sun, let¡¯s go.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything at first. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and then at Anhao. Anhao gave her a look that told her to relax for the time being, but Zuo Yue was still not sure if they could help her. After all, this child should not be kept in everyone¡¯s eyes. However, she could ignore her parents ¡®words. Since her brother had spoken, Zuo Yue did not dare to continue pestering Anhao. She could only turn around and leave with Wang Ma. ¡°Hello.¡± At this moment, Mother Zuo spoke up.¡± You were injured while trying to save Zuo Yue. Mother¡¯s heart really aches for you. However, Zuo Yue has been making us worry for the past two days, so Mother didn¡¯t go to your room to take care of her. You don¡¯t blame Mother, right?¡± ¡°How can that be? There have been some for the past two days ¡± Anhao paused for a moment, then said affectionately,¡±¡±Han City has been taking care of me personally. With him around, I don¡¯t think you can get involved even if you want to. You must know how domineering he is sometimes.¡± Mother Zuo was amused.¡± This child. If Zuo Yue was as sensible as you and could say such comforting words, we wouldn¡¯t have to suffer overnight because of her.¡±¡± Mother Zuo¡¯s words were indeed true. Although she and Father Zuo were both in their fifties, they usually looked energetic. They did not look like they were in a bad mood and had a lot on their minds. Moreover, they did have a few more white hairs on their heads. ¡°It¡¯s not good for me to interfere with Zuo Yue¡¯s matters, but she¡¯s after all She¡¯s the younger sister of Han City.¡± Tsk, it was not appropriate to call Zuo Hancheng by his full name in front of her in-laws, but the way he called her made Anhao¡¯s little heart feel inexplicably excited. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand landed on her wrist at the same time. She could clearly feel that Zuo Hancheng was in a good mood because of her increasingly intimate address. He held her wrist firmly and tightly. Anhao tried hard to shift her emotions away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, but Mother Zuo suddenly said,¡±¡±Anhao, can you go out for a walk with Mom?¡± It seemed that Mother Zuo had something to say to her in private. Anhao nodded and Zuo Hancheng reminded her when Mother Zuo walked over,¡±¡±Her back can¡¯t be pulled or touched by water.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Anhao is not only your wife, but also my daughter-in-law! How could I mistreat my daughter-in-law?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother gave him a sour look. Chapter 785 - Chapter 785: Half Each (1) Chapter 785: Half Each (1) Translator: 549690339 Her own son was so protective of his wife in front of her. Mother Zuo looked a little jealous. When she pulled Anhao¡¯s hand, she gave Zuo Hancheng a sour look. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Anhao held back her laughter and was pulled away by Mother Zuo. ¡°This child, Hancheng, has rarely been close to others since he was young. I didn¡¯t expect him to be even more distant from his family when he grew up, although I know that a large part of the reason is because of the old man.¡±When Mother Zuo and Anhao reached the first floor of the hospital, they nagged as they walked out,¡±¡±But I can tell that Hancheng is not born to be cold and distant. We can all see his attitude towards you.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m embarrassed to hear you say that. You know how difficult it was for people to accept my personality in the past. Moreover, when I was in school, I was a bad student. I was purely picked up by him.¡± Anhao followed behind Mother Zuo, and her face became thinner for a moment. Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, smiled and turned to look at her.¡±¡± There are many things that happen for a reason. I believe that Hancheng treats you well because you deserve it. However, I really didn¡¯t expect that you would get injured because you saved Zuo Yue that day. I don¡¯t know what method you used to settle my son and daughter. Just now, Zuo Yue deliberately distanced herself from us and got close to you. As a mother, I ¡± Xu Yuan sighed slightly.¡± Anhao, I know you want to protect Zuo Yue, but I¡¯m her mother. I won¡¯t harm her.¡±¡± ¡°Mom, I didn¡¯t protect her.¡± Anhao said,¡± I can tell that you and Dad don¡¯t want her to keep the child. But since Zuo Yue has been protecting the child in her stomach, she must have her reasons. After all, she¡¯s not a child. She won¡¯t be ignorant and cause trouble. She¡¯s already twenty-two years old ¡± Mother Zuo turned to look at her. Wasn¡¯t she fooling around by having sex with her uncle? This happened in the United States. There were no relatives around who would point fingers at her, but this kind of thing was absolutely not allowed in our eyes. If this was not considered fooling around, were they going to let her give birth to the child?¡± Anhao paused for a moment, but she did not rush to speak. She just let Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, vent her anger that she had suppressed for many days in front of her. However, Xu Yuan quickly realized that her attitude was not right and immediately restrained herself.¡±Even if she was pregnant with another man, even if she got pregnant before marriage, with our Zuo family¡¯s ability, we can still afford to raise a child. However, this child will not be healthy after birth.¡± ¡°Although having sex is against human ethics, it is indeed wrong. But since the big mistake has been made, there is no way to redeem it. But regarding the child, I think that Zuo Yue might have her reasons to protect it. No mother would be willing to give birth to an unhealthy child.¡± Anhao¡¯s words were very tactful, but Xu Yuan paused and suddenly turned to look at her. ¡°The root of the matter was between Uncle and Zuo Yue. Why couldn¡¯t you contact Uncle at the same time as this happened? Zuo Yue shouldering all of this alone was actually unfair to her.¡±Anhao placed her hand on Xu Yuan¡¯s arm.¡±¡±Mom, she¡¯s not just your daughter. She¡¯s also an independent individual. She has blood and flesh and has her own thoughts. She shouldn¡¯t let you decide her fate on your own ¡± Xu Yuan sensed something fishy in her words. She suddenly looked at Anhao and saw that Anhao seemed a little stubborn about this matter. Although Xu Yuan liked Anhao very much and did not mind her background, it was not as if she had never asked about Anhao¡¯s situation in private. Zuo Hancheng did not hide many sensitive topics, so they all knew that Anhao was forced into the Gu family by her mother when she was fourteen years old. Perhaps Anhao did have the right to say that her mother would decide her future just like that. Mother Zuo didn¡¯t say anything else and slowly held Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Child, whether you can find your own family or not, the Zuo family will always be your home. I am not only your mother-in-law, I can also be your mother.¡± Anhao was actually a little stubborn when she spoke just now because she saw that person in the hospital today. She did not want to say this in front of Xu Yuan, but Xu Yuan suddenly changed the topic and said this, causing Anhao¡¯s expression to freeze for a moment. She looked up and saw the warm smile in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes. The face in front of her was completely different from the other face she saw in the hospital today. The surprise in that person¡¯s eyes and the swift action of turning around, the girl who stood beside her and called her mother sweetly . Before she was fourteen, her mother had also smiled so warmly in front of her, just like Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, who made her feel that as long as she had a mother, she was not afraid of anything. ¡°Thank you, Mom. Some of the wounds have already scabscabbed over and won¡¯t hurt anymore. Although it will itch occasionally, it won¡¯t affect my life now. It doesn¡¯t matter what my real surname is.¡± Anhao was smiling, but Mother Zuo¡¯s heart ached for her. She raised her hand and gently stroked Anhao¡¯s head.¡±¡± Yes, there¡¯s also the word ¡®left¡¯. Just this word alone can guarantee that your life will be smooth from now on. No one will dare to bully you. Even if Hancheng bullies you, your parents are here.¡± Anhao recalled the old man¡¯s sour face every time he saw her. She did not agree with Mother Zuo¡¯s last sentence, but she did not say anything more. It was not until Mother Zuo put down her hand that she suddenly turned to look outside the hospital. Zuo Yue was sitting in the white nanny van outside the hospital. After looking at it for a while, she sighed softly.¡± Mom will think about what you said just now, but it¡¯s not that easy to contact Chengfeng. As far as we know, he left America a few days ago. After arriving at the Russian border, it¡¯s even more difficult to contact him. He and Zuo Yue should not be from the same world, and those dangers should not be borne by my daughter.¡± Anhao did not know much about her uncle¡¯s matter, so she had said all she could. If she said anything more, she would probably be meddling in too many other people¡¯s business. All she could do was to help Zuo Yue put in a good word. Zuo¡¯s mother suddenly turned around and walked out. It seemed like she wanted to see Zuo Yue in the car. Anhao turned around at the same time. She was about to go to the supermarket on the first floor of the hospital to buy a few bottles of water for them. However, just as she walked in the direction of the supermarket, she saw the woman who had ¡± resurrected ¡± and the girl standing in front of the automatic water machine in front of the supermarket. Chapter 786 - Chapter 786: Half Each (2) Chapter 786: Half Each (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°Mom, the doctor said that it¡¯s best for you to drink more warm water. You shouldn¡¯t drink the water here.¡±The girl was beside the woman and said with concern. The woman looked at the few bottles of water in the vending machine in front of her and did not say anything. She raised her hand and gently stroked the top of the bottle. Finally, she stopped on a bottle of peach-flavored beverage that had been selling well for more than ten years. ¡°The doctor has also told you that it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t drink too much sugar in beverages ¡± The girl continued to nag at the side.¡± Besides, Mom, why do you buy this every time you buy water? You only drink a few mouthfuls and then put it aside. I¡¯ve never seen you finish it all. If you don¡¯t like it, why do you buy it?¡± Anhao heard it clearly from a distance. Her eyes fell on the row of drinks and she walked over quietly. She felt in her pocket and remembered that she didn¡¯t have any money in her clothes before she went out. She picked up her phone and scanned the payment code on the machine. When the peach-flavored drink fell out of the machine, she bent down and picked it up. As she picked it up, she turned to look at the woman standing beside her. The woman had obviously noticed Anhao¡¯s sudden approach, and her eyes were already slightly stiff. When she saw Anhao pick up the bottle of peach-flavored drink, her eyes stared straight at Anhao. Anhao did not seem to notice the surprise in her eyes. She smiled and said,¡±This brand of beverage has been selling well around the world for more than ten years. The reason why it sells well is that there are no additional ingredients, so the shelf life has never exceeded three days. It¡¯s a very healthy beverage.¡± As she spoke, she looked at the girl who was looking at her in confusion.¡±I liked to drink it when I was young. At that time, my mother was still alive. I always pestered her to buy me this peach-flavored drink, but at that time, my mother always said that it was bad for children to drink too much, so she only allowed me to drink half a bottle.¡± The girl was still looking at her in confusion. She didn¡¯t understand why she was suddenly standing there and blabbering. Was it just a bottle of drink? She simply bought a bottle and stuffed it into the woman¡¯s hand.¡±Mom, let¡¯s go.¡± However, after hearing Anhao¡¯s words, the woman stood rooted to the ground and her eyes fell on the bottle in Anhao¡¯s hand. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao looked at her with a smile. No emotions could be seen in her eyes. She only smiled and said,¡±Aunty, although this drink tastes good and has no added ingredients, it¡¯s not considered freshly squeezed juice. If you¡¯re not feeling well, you should drink less.¡± After saying that, Anhao raised her eyebrows and nodded politely at her as if she was a stranger. Then, she turned around and left. The woman stood rooted to the ground and did not turn back to look at Anhao¡¯s back. Her hand was tightly gripping the bottle of drink in her hand and did not move for a long time. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mom. You¡¯re already very healthy at your age. Other than frequent headaches, you don¡¯t have any other problems. Don¡¯t get diabetes or something because of this drink.¡± As soon as the girl¡¯s voice fell, Anhao did not stop walking. She turned her back to them and smiled coldly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. The woman finally spoke up.¡± Diabetics has nothing to do with sweets, unless you really have diabetes and need to control your sugar intake. You¡¯re usually ignorant and incompetent. I told you to study medicine, but you refused. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being laughed at by the passing doctors when you say such things in the hospital?¡± The girl was inexplicably scolded by her mother. She stuck out her tongue and said,¡±Okay, okay, I don¡¯t understand. Mom, you¡¯re the best. You know everything. Let¡¯s go back. Anyway, the doctor has prescribed medicine for you. This is an old illness. It¡¯s not a serious illness.¡± The woman looked down at the drink in her hand and didn¡¯t say anything at first. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly turned around and saw Anhao¡¯s figure walking out of the main entrance of the hospital. After staring for a long time until Anhao¡¯s figure completely disappeared from the door, the woman held the drink bottle in her hand tightly, her gaze dim and complicated. ¡°Mom, what are you looking at?¡± The girl looked outside and didn¡¯t see anyone strange. However, her mother¡¯s gaze made her feel a little strange. The woman didn¡¯t answer. She shook her head and sighed.¡±My head hurts again. I won¡¯t go back to New York today. Let¡¯s go back to the hotel.¡± ¡°Not going back to New York?¡± I¡¯ve already made an appointment with my friend to go out tomorrow afternoon ¡± ¡°It¡¯s better for you to have less contact with those scoundrel friends of yours.¡± The girl¡¯s expression turned ugly, but she didn¡¯t dare to retort. She only muttered softly,¡±¡±I know, Mom ¡± The girl beside him called out for her mother again and again. The woman¡¯s face darkened a little, but the figure in front of the hospital door had already disappeared. Anhao had already walked to the white nanny van parked in front of the hospital. When she reached the car, she looked at the half-empty bottle of drink in her hand. She hadn¡¯t had the taste she liked when she was young for many years. She didn¡¯t expect it to taste so bitter now. Such a bitter thing had actually been popular for so many years. She closed the lid expressionlessly and placed it on an empty bench. Then, he glanced at the lonely pink bottle on the bench. When she was young, her mother did not allow her to drink too many drinks. She only allowed her to drink occasionally, and it was also agreed that they would drink half each and share it with each other. This way, they could drink together, and they would not have tooth decay because they drank too much sweet stuff. This was what her mother used to coax her when she was young. When she was young, she had once gone out with Yi Zeyang behind her mother¡¯s back. Yi Zeyang spoiled her very much and would buy her many bottles. She would secretly bring them home and hide them in the fridge, but her mother would always find out. Her mother would hold her in front of the mirror and let her open her mouth to look at her teeth. She would say gently,¡±Anhao, quickly take a look at your teeth. There are already slight decayed teeth. Do you want the insects to eat all your teeth?¡± She would curl up in her mother¡¯s arms and say that she didn¡¯t want the worms to eat her teeth. Then, as usual, she would make a promise with her mother that she would share half of the drinks with her mother. Although it was a rather strange way to get a one-out, Anhao and her mother were used to leaving half of this peach-flavored drink for each other every time they drank it. ¡°Anhao, is there anything uncomfortable with the injury on your back?¡±At this moment, Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, who had already finished talking to Zuo Yue in the car, got out of the car. She saw Anhao in front of her and asked her directly. Chapter 787 - Chapter 787: Half Each (3) Chapter 787: Half Each (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao shifted her gaze away from the bottle and raised her head to answer,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine.¡± Xu Yuan walked over.¡± It¡¯s hot outside. Get in the car and sit with Zuo Yue for a while.¡±¡± Anhao smiled and nodded. She turned around and walked to the car. She saw Zuo Yue sitting in the car. She didn¡¯t know what she was talking about with Xu Yuan, but she didn¡¯t look as scared as before. She sat in the car and before she could say anything, Xu Yuan said from outside the car door,¡±I¡¯ll go up and see why Hancheng and his father haven¡¯t come down yet. You and Zuo Yue wait for us here.¡± After saying that, Xu Yuan turned around and walked back to the hospital. When she passed by the door, she suddenly noticed the mother and daughter walking out from inside. For some reason, she felt a little familiar, but she couldn¡¯t put her finger on it. After exchanging a glance, Xu Yuan walked in. The woman looked in the direction of the car outside the hospital at the same time. When she looked at the car, she was about to look away when her eyes suddenly paused and glanced at the half-empty bottle of drink on the bench not far away from the car. The woman¡¯s eyes seemed to have been shattered by something in an instant. She stood rooted to the ground until the girl beside her pulled her arm and called her twice in confusion. Only then did she retract her somewhat stiff gaze. ¡°Mom, are you sure you want to go back to the hotel? Are you really not going back to New York today?¡± The woman¡¯s gaze was stiff, and her voice was low and distant.¡±No.¡± ¡°Alright then ¡± The girl sounded disappointed. Anhao was sitting in the car and talking to Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue said that Xu Yuan had told her about the child just now. Zuo Yue¡¯s body condition was very bad after she went into a coma from the last hunger strike. After all, she had been on a hunger strike for a month. Her body condition had long been very weak. Although she had been discharged from the hospital, the doctor advised her not to have an abortion operation for the time being. Otherwise, it would cause great harm to Zuo Yue herself. It was precisely because of the doctor¡¯s reminder that they did not insist on her going for the operation today. However, it was hard to guarantee that Zuo Yue would still bring her here for an abortion after her body recovered. After hearing this, Anhao said with a gentle expression,¡±¡±Although I can understand your fear right now and I know that you want to protect this child, Zuo Yue, you clearly know that this child will not be healthy after he is born. This child will never be able to raise his head and be an upright person like a normal person for the rest of his life. Why do you insist on keeping him?¡± Zuo Yue did not know how to answer Anhao¡¯s question. She bit her lip and looked at Anhao,¡±¡±If it weren¡¯t for this child, he would have even less of me ¡± Anhao was stunned. Zuo Yue¡¯s words puzzled her. ¡°He¡¯s been avoiding me all these years. My parents don¡¯t know that I¡¯ve been through life and death because of him, nor do they know how I got together with him. But a month ago, he still sent me back ruthlessly. He didn¡¯t even know that I was pregnant.¡± Mother Wang was not in the car at the moment. Zuo Yue said to Anhao with red eyes,¡±¡±Leave this child behind. After he finds out about this child¡¯s existence, he will definitely come back. However, he is deliberately avoiding me. If I don¡¯t even have this last bargaining chip, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to see him again in this lifetime.¡± ¡°You have to know that if this child is born .¡± Anhao furrowed her brows.¡± Zuo Yue, I really understand you. If I wasn¡¯t worried about you, I wouldn¡¯t have come to the hospital. But have you seen the children born from close relatives?¡± That would be treated as a monster, even in a place like the United States ¡± ¡°Then what if we¡¯re not close relatives?¡± It was unknown whether Zuo Yue¡¯s words were a hypothesis or just her self-consolation. Anhao did not say anything else. She just looked at Zuo Yue, wanting to see Zuo Yue¡¯s true thoughts from her expression. After two minutes, Anhao didn¡¯t ask any more questions and only said,¡±¡±If this is really the case, that would naturally be the best ¡± Although Zuo Yue did not say much, Anhao could feel that she seemed to be hiding something. Perhaps even her parents did not know about this. What if they weren¡¯t close relatives? Then, was Little Uncle not the younger brother of Xu Yuan, or was Zuo Peng not from the Zuo family A child? Anhao was lost in her thoughts when Mother Wang knocked on the window respectfully. Anhao opened the door and Mother Wang said,¡±Madam just called. The doctor who personally saved the old master from the gates of hell will come to the hospital this afternoon. They plan to meet the doctor and specially asked me to ask you if you want to wait in the hospital together or get the driver to send you home?¡± Before Anhao could say anything, her phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Zuo Hancheng calling. She guessed that it had something to do with what Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, had just said. She picked up the phone and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice came through.¡±Don¡¯t wander around. I¡¯ll go down and pick you up.¡± Anhao wanted to accompany Zuo Yue back to the Zuo family first, but Zuo Hancheng obviously did not intend to let her leave his range with her injuries. Anhao hesitated for a moment before saying,¡±¡±Does Grandpa need to confirm anything with the doctor about his illness? If you can¡¯t get away now, you don¡¯t have to come down to pick me up. I¡¯ll just stay here with Zuo Yue.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng had already hung up. Anhao was embarrassed. He was really overbearing. He usually indulged her, but it seemed that after she came back from Boston, Zuo Hancheng no longer indulged her like before. Every time she made a decision, he would directly reject it. Anhao turned to look at Zuo Yue, who seemed to be thinking about something.¡±¡±Your brother asked me to wait for him here. Are you going back to the Zuo family or staying here?¡± ¡°I want to go out for a walk.¡± Zuo Yue turned to look out of the car window, her eyes a little dazed.¡±Sister-in-law, can you ask my brother if he can let you go out with me for a walk? It won¡¯t go far. Just go to the nearby mall or park.¡± ¡°If I wasn¡¯t injured, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem. After all, I wasn¡¯t restricted by your brother. But now that I¡¯m injured, if I walk around randomly, I think his face will freeze us to death.¡±Anhao said with a smile as she opened the car door a little wider. She stuck her head out and said to Wang Ma, who was outside the car,¡±¡±Wang Ma, get in the car first. It¡¯s tiring to stand all the time.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Zuo. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not tired.¡±Mother Wang looked at her with a smile.¡± Miss Sun was locked up for more than a month. After that, she fainted and was hospitalized. She must have really held it in. Madam, if you have nothing to do, talk to her more.¡±¡± Mother Wang¡¯s voice was very soft.¡± Miss Sun used to be more lively than you, but now .¡± If Madam can spend more time with her, I¡¯ll just stand by the side and watch over you. It doesn¡¯t matter how tired I am.¡± Chapter 788 - Chapter 788: Missing, Drug Chapter 788: Missing, Drug Translator: 549690339 As soon as Wang Ma finished speaking, Anhao was about to get out of the car when Zuo Hancheng came out of the hospital. However, his expression looked a little cold and he walked very quickly. It seemed that he did not intend to let her stay outside alone for too long. Anhao got out of the car. When Zuo Hancheng approached, he first glanced at her before turning to look at Zuo Yue who was in the car. ¡°Brother, I know that Sister-in-law was injured badly because she helped me block the glass shards last time, but you don¡¯t have to think that she¡¯s in danger just because of this, right?¡±Zuo Yueyi met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze and muttered speechlessly. ¡°Indeed not.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao at the same time.¡±¡±Follow me upstairs. Let the driver and Mother Wang send Zuo Yue back first.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen?¡± Anhao¡¯s intuition told her that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude was a little cold and hard. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Hancheng held her hand and did not say anything else. He only gave Mother Wang a look, and she immediately understood. She turned around and got into the car to sit beside Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were a little dejected.¡± Brother, you¡¯re watching Sister-in-law too closely. She¡¯s the only person I can talk to now, and you even snatched her away.¡±¡± ¡°I only have one Mrs. Zuo.¡±Zuo Hancheng said indifferently, leaving Zuo Yue speechless. In the end, she rolled her eyes at Zuo Hancheng. Anhao stood beside Zuo Hancheng and did not even retort when Zuo Hancheng said,¡± I only have one Mrs. Zuo.¡± It was only when Zuo Yue and Wang Ma were driven away by the driver that she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±I¡¯ve seen you treat Zuo Yue indifferently in the past. Now, I¡¯ve really realized that you don¡¯t treat her as your sister at all. She was in a low mood, but you didn¡¯t even let her talk properly.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Mrs. Zuo, your back is still injured. Don¡¯t you remember what you promised me before you came?¡±¡± Anhao blushed. Recently, Zuo Hancheng had addressed her as Mrs. Zuo many times. She always felt that he had completely labeled her as his exclusive label, but this feeling was really For some reason, it gave her a sense of belonging. ¡°Forget it. This is Los Angeles anyway. I¡¯m not familiar with this place. If I don¡¯t follow you obediently, something might really happen. For example, getting lost, getting lost, not being able to see the road signs clearly, wandering around the street like a fool, and being like a child who doesn¡¯t know anything.¡± Hearing her deliberate sarcasm, Zuo Hancheng curled his lips meaningfully.¡±¡±This place isn¡¯t like City A, it doesn¡¯t have as many things to deal with as Shengling Group. I thought you would be honored to be by my side 24 hours a day.¡± ¡°I¡¯m very honored, extremely honored!¡±Anhao laughed as she gritted her teeth.¡± I¡¯m almost being controlled by you when I go to the toilet. Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯m no longer the high school student who needs to be disciplined. Why do you still like to restrict me so much?¡±¡± ¡°If I really don¡¯t care about you one day, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll cry.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him, but her gaze fell on the remaining half bottle of drink on the bench. She paused and turned to look in the direction of the hospital entrance. The two people were no longer there. It was true that there were still some things to pay attention to in the old man¡¯s physical condition. Father Zuo and Mother Zuo sat down in the doctor¡¯s office and talked about something. Zuo Hancheng stood in front of the office window and did not sit down. However, Anhao could see that he was holding a few medical reports in his hands, so she could not see his expression. Anhao could have followed them in, but the doctor¡¯s office wasn¡¯t very big. It would be crowded if she went in again, so she sat on the chair outside and looked in from time to time. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was an American number. She guessed that it was Zuo Yue, so she stood up and walked to the side to answer the call. ¡°Madam, Miss Sun¡¯s mood is not very stable. Not long after the car left, the driver stopped the car. Now, it¡¯s near a small park about one kilometer away from the hospital. Do you want to come over and accompany Miss Sun for a walk?¡± Anhao walked to the hospital¡¯s corridor and looked less than a kilometer away. There was indeed a green forest park. She turned around and looked at the doctor¡¯s office. She told Mother Wang to wait for her for a while and then put down the phone. When she returned to the consultation room, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was still reading the diagnosis report. She thought for a moment before turning around and walking towards the elevator. Anyway, with the driver and Wang Ma around, everyone would accompany Zuo Yue and nothing would happen. The park was also a place where people came and went. She knew that Zuo Hancheng was especially concerned about her safety because of the innocent injury on her back, but Zuo Yue¡¯s current mood was indeed a problem. Anhao hesitated for a while while while waiting for the elevator. Now that the doctor and the others seemed to be talking about something very serious, she did not want to disturb them. She picked up her phone and sent a text message to Zuo Hancheng, saying that she would go to the park near the hospital to accompany Zuo Yue. After sending the message, she went straight into the elevator. The park was only one kilometer away from here, and Anhao only took ten minutes to get there by walking briskly. Sure enough, she saw the white nanny van parked there. Wang Ma was negotiating with the calm and pale Zuo Yue beside the car. It seemed like she was trying to persuade Zuo Yue not to leave alone. When Anhao came over, Mother Wang hurriedly said as if she had seen her savior,¡±Madam, Miss Sun said that she wanted to get out of the car and take a walk. We could only park the car in the park nearby. She didn¡¯t want me and the driver to accompany her, and we were worried, so we could only ask Madam to come.¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Anhao said casually and walked towards Zuo Yue. When Zuo Yue saw her, she said,¡±¡±My brother is willing to let you out? I thought she was going to isolate me from you?¡± ¡°How can it be as serious as quarantine? Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll accompany you for a walk. It¡¯s good for your body to relax.¡±Anhao held her hand. Zuo Yue glanced in the direction of the hospital.¡±¡±Did you sneak out? A few days ago, after you helped me block the glass shards, I could tell that my brother really didn¡¯t want me to be alone with you.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Anhao was puzzled. Zuo Yue turned around and walked towards the park. Anhao walked beside her and heard Zuo Yue say,¡±¡±Maybe it¡¯s because my side hasn¡¯t been very peaceful these past few years. My brother doesn¡¯t want you to get involved in those things ¡± The hospital- After Zuo Hancheng had read the diagnosis report, he was talking to his parents and the doctor about the old man. When he looked up, he saw that Anhao, who was supposed to be sitting at the door, was gone. His gaze froze and he subconsciously picked up the phone that vibrated in his pocket. When he saw the text message that had been sent more than ten minutes ago, his expression instantly turned cold. He put down the diagnosis report in his hand and walked out at a rapid speed. Chapter 789 - Chapter 789: Wait for Me Where You Are Chapter 789: Wait for Me Where You Are Translator: 549690339 The environment in the park was quiet and there were many green plants. There were many couples taking a walk and playing with their children here. Zuo Yue dragged Anhao all the way in. Anhao suddenly felt strange. Didn¡¯t they say they were taking a walk? Why did Zuo Yue leave so quickly? It wasn¡¯t until they left the sight of Mother Wang and the chauffeur outside the park that Anhao suddenly reached out and grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t we taking a walk? Why did you leave in such a hurry?¡± Zuo Yue saw that Anhao was already on guard, so she looked around.¡±¡±Sister-in-law, I¡¯m looking for a public restroom in the park. I feel like I go to the restroom more frequently after I get pregnant.¡± Although Zuo Yue¡¯s reason was very reasonable, Anhao noticed that they had already left Mother Wang and the driver¡¯s line of sight. She inexplicably felt that Zuo Yue seemed to have done it on purpose. But now that they had already reached this place, she also looked around without batting an eyelid.¡±There¡¯s a sign for the washroom over there. It¡¯s probably on that road. I¡¯ll accompany you.¡± Zuo Yue nodded. After the two of them walked over, Zuo Yue slowed down. Anhao began to pay attention to Zuo Yue¡¯s every move and expression at all times. She vaguely felt that Zuo Yue seemed to want to use this opportunity to escape. However, Zuo Yue did not say anything more until they were outside the washroom. Anhao accompanied her all the way until Zuo Yue entered the washroom. Anhao saw that there was only one door here, so she waited at the door. Anyway, if Zuo Yue really wanted to escape, she definitely could not let Zuo Yue escape from her sight. Even if Zuo Yue¡¯s parents still had plans for her to abort the child, they were still Zuo Yue¡¯s parents after all. No matter what, they would not harm her. If Zuo Yue wanted to escape from these things, if Zuo Yue really ran away now, it would be difficult for her to absolve herself of the blame. After four to five minutes, Zuo Yue came out of the bathroom and saw Anhao taking out her phone to look at something. Zuo Yue said,¡±¡±Sister-in-law, don¡¯t you need to use the bathroom?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡± Anhao smiled at her, and at the same time, she glanced at the washroom to see that there was no one else. Zuo Yue was about to walk out when she suddenly raised her hand and placed it on her stomach.¡±¡±My stomach doesn¡¯t feel well. Maybe Wang Ma has made me eat too much these past few days.¡± Anhao nodded. She saw Zuo Yue walk into the bathroom again. At the same time, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Zuo Hancheng calling, Anhao raised her eyebrows secretly. She felt like she was going to be lectured again. ¡°Hello,¡± Anhao put the phone to her ear and looked around. She saw Qingshui Lake in the park. ¡°In the park?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded cold and calm. ¡°Yes, Wang Ma said that Zuo Yue was in a bad mood in the car just now, so I wanted to come over and take a look. I didn¡¯t want to disturb you and the doctor, so I sent a message and came out.¡±Anhao explained. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was not as angry as she had expected, but it was cold with a hint of warning.¡±¡±Stand there and don¡¯t move. Pay attention to the people around you. Be careful not to expose your relationship with the Zuo family.¡± Hearing the meaning in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone, Anhao was stunned for a moment, as if she had just realized that he was hiding something from her. Could it be that she was in danger if she came out alone like this? What danger could there be in such a public place? Anhao looked into the bathroom again and confirmed that there was no other door. Then, she said to Zuo Hancheng on the other end of the phone,¡±¡±I¡¯m in the park next to a clear lake.¡± ¡°Wait for me here. Don¡¯t wander around. I¡¯ll be there soon.¡±Zuo Hancheng ended the call immediately. Although Anhao had her doubts, she was already standing there and could not turn back. She could only wait for him at the same spot as Zuo Hancheng had told her. There was no sound in the bathroom. Anhao walked in and glanced at the closed doors.¡±Zuo Yue, are you not done yet?¡± ¡°Sister-in-law, why can¡¯t you go buy a bottle of water or do something else? Since you can tell that I¡¯m looking for a chance to leave, can¡¯t you fulfill my wish?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice sounded softly from the washroom door. It seemed that she was unable to find a way to shake Anhao off because she was being stared at too closely. Now, she sounded like she was wronged. ¡°Zuo Yue, since you¡¯ve made it clear, let me make it clear to you. Don¡¯t think that you can leave just because you¡¯ve shaken off Wang Ma and the driver who have been watching you. Do you think I¡¯ll easily throw you aside? You should know that I really care about you. Whether you¡¯re Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sister or just a friend of mine, I can¡¯t let you leave my sight with your temporarily unhealthy body and the child in your stomach.¡± Anhao said as she looked at the door.¡±¡±Since you have nothing to do, come out. If you want to take a walk, I can accompany you for a walk here. However, we can only stay nearby and can¡¯t go far.¡± The door in front of her opened and Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were a little red. When she walked up to Anhao, she looked even more aggrieved. Anhao looked at her and said,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, you should be a selfish person. If you really disappeared from my side, have you thought about how I would face my parents and grandfather in the future?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red.¡± Sister-in-law, I didn¡¯t want to implicate you. I¡¯m sorry.¡±¡± Anhao didn¡¯t want to say anything more about this matter. She pulled her hand and said,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go out. It doesn¡¯t seem safe here.¡± When they were outside the washroom, Anhao said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you tell me just now that you might not be related to uncle by blood? If you don¡¯t tell me the reason, I won¡¯t ask you in detail. But if there¡¯s a possibility, you just have to tell your parents. They might not force you to abort the child again. Why do you have to take the risk and run away?¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say anything. Anhao glanced at her clothes and said,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t bring any money or your phone with you. Where are you going after running away? I heard from Mom that Uncle isn¡¯t in America now. Are you planning to wander the streets?¡± ¡°The matter of blood relations is still completely confirmed, but my mother must not know.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes darkened.¡± Sister-in-law, I¡¯m sorry. I was too impulsive.¡± Actually, I really wanted to shake you off just now and run away alone.¡± Hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s words, Anhao tightened her grip on her wrist to prevent Zuo Yue from acting rashly again. Although she was sure that Zuo Hancheng would be able to find her as soon as possible even if Zuo Yue had really run away, based on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone on the phone just now, she would not separate from Zuo Yue if she could. There was a bench by Qingshui Lake. Anhao pulled Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and was about to sit on the bench when Zuo Yue suddenly pulled her hand back. Her eyes were a little stiff. Chapter 790 - Chapter 790: Unconscious, Awakening Chapter 790: Unconscious, Awakening Translator: 549690339 Noticing her strange behavior, Anhao turned to look at her.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It seems like someone is staring at us ¡± Zuo Yue held Anhao¡¯s hand even tighter as if she had a premonition that something was going to happen. However, just as Anhao was about to turn around, she carefully said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t alert the enemy! Sister-in-law, don¡¯t look back!¡± Headache This was Anhao¡¯s most direct feeling at the moment. She didn¡¯t know how long she had been asleep. She only remembered that Zuo Yue had grabbed her hand by the lake and wanted to change a path to get rid of someone. However, after taking a few steps, a few men suddenly rushed out of nowhere. Anhao didn¡¯t see those people clearly, and she and Zuo Yue were caught by those men. While they were struggling, those men used some unknown language to speak a lot of things in their ears. It sounded like Russian, but Anhao could not understand it. She only knew that Zuo Yue¡¯s struggle did not seem to be an act. Those men did not seem to be the people that Zuo Yue had arranged here. Instead, they did not seem to know who the real person was between the two of them. Anhao had a terrible headache now. The wound on her back, which had only been lying on the bed for three days, was now burning with pain. She remembered that those people kept talking about something, but they used a lot of strength. However, she did not expect that she had some skills. She suddenly twisted her wrist and kicked one of them when she broke away from them. Then, she pulled Zuo Yue out of their hands. Later on, those people caught up to her. She pushed Zuo Yue towards the crowd, but she was held down by two of the men. At that time, she told Zuo Yue to leave quickly. Then, she felt something covering her mouth and nose. The smell was very strange, and then Her consciousness fell into darkness. She didn¡¯t know how long had passed, but when she woke up, she found herself here. At the same time, Anhao realized that she seemed to be leaning against a moving car. However, this car had been modified and the back compartment was tightly wrapped, so she could only see darkness. Other than this darkness, she could not see anything else. Her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was sealed so tightly that it could not be easily opened by the movement of her tongue and lips. She had been kidnapped! The memory of being kidnapped when she was five years old was still fresh in her mind, but Anhao could not recall those terrible memories and emotions. She leaned against the car and felt a slight vibration under the car. It should not be an ordinary road. With such a bumpy road, she should have gone to the suburbs or some mountain road. Which direction is the mountain near Los Angeles? She didn¡¯t know much about Los Angeles. She also did not know if Zuo Yue had escaped. She was the only one here now, and she was tied up so tightly. Anhao tried to struggle again, but it was in vain. She took a deep breath and endured the burning pain on her back. She suddenly turned her body sideways and slammed her shoulder into the car behind her. The car made a dull banging sound because of her movements. The other people in the car realized that she was awake, but no one paid attention to her. The car drove even faster, and the car became even more bumpy. Anhao gritted her teeth. The weather was hot, and there was no air conditioning in the back of the car. Sweat trickled down her forehead, and her back was also perspiring, staining the wounds that might have opened up. Her hearing was amazing in the dark. She didn¡¯t know how long she had been in the car, but Anhao felt dizzy from the hot air and the suffocating feeling. She had been trying to hit the car with her shoulder, but she gradually slowed down and closed her eyes weakly. No, she had to conserve her strength! If she exhausted all her strength now, how could she escape when they reached the place they wanted to take her to? It hurts These rude Russian outlaws! When Anhao was brought down from the car, she couldn¡¯t open her eyes because of the strong light outside. In the blink of an eye, she was taken into an abandoned building and thrown onto a pile of sandbags in a dark corner. Anhao was already injured, and because of this fierce throwing action, she felt a pain in her back that felt like it was about to split open. She gritted her teeth, and the sweat on her forehead dripped down drop by drop. However, after gradually adapting to the dim light here, she suddenly raised her head and looked at those people. Obviously, the only phone she had on her was gone. She did not know where it had been thrown. They did not bring Zuo Yue here. Did this mean that Zuo Yue had found an opportunity to escape into the crowd when they were trying to take her away? The Russian men in front of her seemed to be muttering something, and their expressions were not good. At this moment, a burly man suddenly walked over from the door that had not been closed. He took a closer look at Anhao¡¯s face and immediately slapped one of the Russian men in the face with anger! ¡°Trash! He had caught the wrong person! Isn¡¯t this the woman who has been following Ken around?¡±The muscular man cursed in English, and then suddenly turned to look at Anhao. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment, and he suddenly cursed in fluent Japanese. She didn¡¯t know what he was cursing at, but Anhao had thought that the burly man was Chinese, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be Japanese! Who were these people? Anhao endured the pain and leaned against the sandbag to sit up. At the same time, she frowned and looked at the burly man. He couldn¡¯t help but curse in Japanese again. The Russian men were unhappy with his scolding, but they suppressed their dissatisfaction and looked in Anhao¡¯s direction with all their resentment. Sensing the obvious displeasure in their eyes, Anhao looked at them coldly and made a sound. ¡°She wants to speak?¡± One of the Russian men looked at her in confusion for a while and said in broken English. Anhao continued to mumble. After they looked at each other, although they did not speak, Anhao could tell that they probably did not know how to deal with her because they had caught the wrong person. If she did not think of a way to save herself, she should not be of much use to them. It was very likely that they would directly kill her and dump her corpse in the wilderness, lest they bring her, a useless burden, to escape and cause other troubles. ¡°Let¡¯s hear what she wants to say first.¡± The Japanese man said and gave the two men standing beside Anhao a look. The tape on Anhao¡¯s mouth was instantly pulled off by them. Because they pulled it off very quickly, a red mark appeared around her mouth. Although it hurt, she endured the pain that made her tears fall automatically. She took a deep breath and looked up at the Japanese man. Chapter 791 - Chapter 791: Under the Gun Chapter 791: Under the Gun Although these Russians didn¡¯t seem to be convinced by him, it was obvious that they had to listen to him for the time being. He should be the only one among them who could speak with some strength. Hence, Anhao spoke in English, which she wasn¡¯t particularly proficient in,¡±¡±The person you want to catch is the woman who was with me previously?¡± She was able to converse with them in English now thanks to her three years of studying in Boston. Even if she was not particularly proficient, she could still speak slowly. At least these ordinary conversations were not difficult for her. Seeing that her English was also terrible, the Japanese man looked at her and asked,¡±Are you Korean?¡± Anhao hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. The man narrowed his eyes and asked in Japanese,¡±Japan?¡± Anhao could understand this simple Japanese word, and she shook her head again. The man¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain.¡± So it¡¯s a Chinese woman. Why did you guys bring back a Chinese woman?¡± ¡°The woman who has been following Ken is an American Chinese.¡±The Russian man said,¡± At that time, we saw that the two women had Asian skin colors. Moreover, before we were about to arrest them, we received an alarm. There were unknown forces approaching outside the park, so we were in a hurry to arrest them. We only caught this one¡­¡± Hearing this, Anhao¡¯s worries about Zuo Yue eased a little. It seemed that Zuo Yue had run into the crowd in the right direction. At least Zuo Yue and the child in her stomach would not be in such danger. ¡°Useless!¡± The Japanese man cursed and looked at Anhao coldly. He didn¡¯t want to give her a chance to speak anymore. He turned around and left. At the same time, he said coldly,¡±Kill them. Make it clean.¡± Anhao instantly felt a chill down her spine. She raised her head abruptly and said,¡±¡±You wanted to kidnap my friend, but you caught the wrong person. However, the reason you caught her was to find Xu Chengfeng, right?¡± Hearing the name Xu Chengfeng, the Japanese man turned around and looked at her in confusion. Anhao looked at him calmly.¡± ¡°You know Ken?¡± The Japanese man finally turned around completely and walked towards her again. He scrutinized her again.¡±That¡¯s right. You and that woman should have a good relationship, so you should also know the whereabouts of that brat, Ah Ken?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes remained calm and her voice was firm.¡±¡±I know!¡± ¡°Tell me, where is he?¡± The Japanese man narrowed his eyes coldly. ¡°Doesn¡¯t he often hang around the Russian border?¡±Anhao looked as if she knew everything. Under the Japanese man¡¯s scrutinizing gaze, she continued,¡±He sent my friend home a month ago and then disappeared. Even if you catch my friend, she probably won¡¯t be able to tell you about Xu Chengfeng¡¯s whereabouts.¡± The Japanese man raised his eyebrows in confusion.¡±Why?¡± ¡°The two of them love each other. Since Xu Chengfeng sent my friend back because he was in danger, how could he tell her his whereabouts? Xu Chengfeng wanted my friend to forget about her and stay away from him. This was human nature.¡± It was as if he felt that what she said made sense. Men like them who had gone through life and death would indeed use this method to deal with the woman they liked. ¡°She doesn¡¯t know, but do you know?¡±The Japanese man looked at her coldly.¡± ¡°I am¡­¡± It seemed that these people only knew that Zuo Yue was a member of the Zuo family, but they obviously did not know her relationship with the Zuo family. Just now, she had described it from the perspective of a friend, but these people did not refute it. They were probably not sure if she was Zuo Yue¡¯s friend or someone else. ¡± I was sent by Xu Chengfeng to protect Zuo Yue. She doesn¡¯t know where Xu Chengfeng is, but I do. I can only tell you that he was at the Russian border yesterday, but he left today. I can¡¯t tell you where he went exactly here. I want to see your boss. I¡¯ll tell him!¡± These people were obviously gangsters, so it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to use Boss¡¯s words. Anhao had never really come into contact with the underworld in her life, so she could only speak based on her intuition. More importantly, she could not let them think that she was useless. Even if they beat her, scolded her, or whatever, they could not kill her just because she was useless. At the very least, she had to stall for as long as she could. She definitely could not die in this desolate wilderness. ¡± Are you courting death?!¡± The Japanese man saw that she dared to keep her in suspense and suddenly reached behind his waist. In the moment when Anhao was slightly confused, she saw a black muzzle suddenly pointed at her head. Seeing the gun, she forced herself to calm down and continued to look at the Japanese man who had been angered by her.¡±How would I know who you are? If I don¡¯t see your boss, would I tell him about him so easily? People have professional ethics in the workplace. In this kind of dirty circle, of course, there are rules that they should follow. I know the rules, but don¡¯t you know them?¡± When the man pointed the gun at her forehead, Anhao still sneered.¡±¡±Who do you think you are? My information isn¡¯t that worthless. Either you bring me to your boss, or you kill me directly. Anyway, you probably can¡¯t enter Los Angeles to capture my friend anymore. At most, I¡¯ll die in exchange for her life and the safety of Xu Chengfeng and his men.¡± The Japanese man stared at her coldly for two whole minutes. As time passed, the cold and pitch-black muzzle gradually withdrew from her forehead. He said coldly,¡±Take him away!¡± After saying this impatiently, he turned around and walked out quickly. The moment the gun left her hand, Anhao felt that her tightly clenched hands were covered in sweat. As expected, the premise of fighting these outlaws was not to let them think that you were afraid of death. The Russian men continued to ramble on, and two of them pulled her up. Anhao¡¯s face was pale because of the pain in her back. The men clearly saw the blood on the back of her white dress, so they continued to ramble on beside her. When they dragged her out of the abandoned building and brought her to an inconspicuous car downstairs, the Russians walked up to the Japanese and spoke a few words in English. She couldn¡¯t hear their voices clearly, but Anhao could still hear them from their lips. They were probably discussing whether the injury on her back had anything to do with the warning she gave when she sneaked into the Zuo family that day. Chapter 792 - Chapter 792: Coming From All Sides Chapter 792: Coming From All Sides Translator: 549690339 It was not until they confirmed that she might really be the person who was arranged to protect the Zuo family¡¯s young lady that the Japanese man examined her again. He raised his hand and made a gesture. Anhao¡¯s mouth was sealed again. Anhao was first brought into the seemingly inconspicuous car. They drove away from the abandoned building. After the car drove far away, she noticed that the Japanese man nodded at the person beside him. The other man picked up a black thing in his hand and pressed a button on it. ¡°Boom!¡± Anhao¡¯s back stiffened when she heard the loud explosion behind her. She turned around and looked at the place where the smoke was billowing. If these people had left her in that abandoned building, she would have been blown up along with that abandoned building. Could it be that those sandbags were filled with gunpowder that didn¡¯t seem to attract attention? The car continued to move forward, but Anhao kept looking at the building that was already covered in flames and smoke with lingering fear. Suddenly, she finally understood what the circle that Zuo Hancheng had always wanted her to avoid was. She was expecting Zuo Hancheng to come down from the sky and take her away, but when she saw the building that had been reduced to ruins in the fire, her heart suddenly felt empty. At this moment, she would rather die than let Zuo Hancheng put himself in danger for her. The underworld, slaughter, ruthlessness, inhumanity Zuo Hancheng should not step into such a world again. He should return to A City and be the president of his overseas company, guarding the Shengling Group that he had uprooted from the United States. So that day, the thing that broke Zuo Yue¡¯s window, was it really a bullet? Zuo Hancheng had never wanted her to come into contact with these things, so he had hidden such a small matter from her. Although the car had already driven away, the smell of the thick smoke still reached her nose. She held her breath in discomfort and did not look in that direction. The car drove to a deserted intersection ahead, where there were a few parked cars. She was stuffed back into the modified car in the back, but this time she was no longer alone. Two Russian men were guarding her. A small light connected to a wire lit up in the originally dark space. It was not very bright, but it was enough for her to see the people here for the time being. Anhao¡¯s back was already soaked in blood. She was wearing the loose white dress that she had been wearing when she came to the hospital at the Zuo family¡¯s last minute. It was similar to pajamas. At the same time, there were some strands of hair stuck to Anhao¡¯s cheeks and forehead. The two Russian men didn¡¯t know if her pale face would cause unnecessary trouble. It was better to leave her alone in the space behind! She had just heaved a sigh of relief because she had temporarily saved her life, but now she had to face the two men who were staring at her with burning eyes. Anhao was wearing a dress, and her hands and feet were tied up while her legs were curled up. Even though the dress could cover her knees, the two Russian men looked at her with a malicious smile on their faces. Their eyes swept across her fair and clean calves, and then they looked at her chest that was heaving up and down because of the seal on her mouth. The two Russian men suddenly whispered something to each other. Then, one of the men suddenly stood up and walked towards her, ignoring the bumps on the road. As he walked, he unbuckled his belt. Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She was feeling dizzy from being locked up, and the gun on her forehead made her feel uncomfortable. Now that she was suddenly thrown into the car, she had been feeling carsick and nauseous, but she had been holding it in. When she saw the man approaching, her face tensed up. The moment he walked in front of her and tore off the seal on her mouth, she suddenly vomited on his pants. The Russian man¡¯s face turned green. He looked at the filth on his legs that she had suddenly vomited out with disgust, and then looked at her expression of vomiting without restraint. At the same time, the smell of vomit wafted through the entire carriage. The two men who had not touched a woman for a long time had their sexual desire extinguished. They cursed and vomited as they suddenly knocked on the wall in front of the carriage. When the car stopped, the two Russian men quickly jumped out of the car. It was only when the carriage closed again and she was alone that Anhao let out a long sigh. After vomiting, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach. Although the air here had indeed become unpleasant in an instant, it was still her own vomit. No matter how disgusting or uncomfortable it was, it was ten thousand times better than being raped by two strange men! She didn¡¯t know how long the car drove on the road. Because of the hot weather, the smell of vomit in the car gradually became more and more unbearable for Anhao. She struggled to move her body on the ground to the back of the car. She took a deep breath of the air outside the car through the small gap in the door behind the car. Through the crack in the door, she could only see the faint white light outside, but she couldn¡¯t see anything else. Although Anhao didn¡¯t have a sense of time now, she felt that the car had been driving for at least two to three hours. She didn¡¯t know which road it came from, but it seemed to have been a deserted place for the past few hours. Now, there were finally some sounds of cars and people, but it was very noisy. Then, she seemed to hear a huge explosion. The car jolted violently at the same time, as if the tires had been blown out. The car suddenly turned in another direction, as if it was escaping. Anhao almost lost her balance because of the sudden U-turn of the car. She leaned against the car door and listened carefully to the movements outside. She actually heard more than ten gunshots. This was completely different from the world she used to live in. It felt like the gangster movies she had seen when she was young. It felt like the four tires of the car had been blown out, but the car still insisted on leaving this place of trouble. There were curses, the sound of cars, and all sorts of noises coming from outside. Anhao heard a few gunshots in a row, as if they were warning her. The car that was still moving despite having a flat tire was horrifyingly bumpy. Anhao¡¯s stomach kept churning until something seemed to suddenly drive over and crash into the car. Anhao¡¯s wrists were tied up, and she couldn¡¯t stretch her arms forward. She could only use her hands behind her back to hold onto a corner of the car door to stabilize her body. However, there seemed to be cars coming from all directions. From the sound of the cars crashing into each other, she did not know what was going on outside. Chapter 793 - Chapter 793: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (1) Chapter 793: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (1) Translator: 549690339 The violent collision continued. This modified car had bulletproof equipment, but the tires had already exploded. Even if the bullets could not penetrate the car, there were still countless cars that were heading toward them. It was only when Anhao felt the body of the car shaking violently that she felt the darkness in front of her turn upside down. She grabbed the armrest behind her to support her body, trying to reduce the violent impact of the car when it overturned. However, her hands were tied and she could only hold on for a few seconds before she fell down and fell hard. For a moment, her nose was filled with the smell of thick smoke. It was obvious that the car had been hit somewhere and leaked gasoline or there was a possibility of spontaneous combustion. When she barely got up, she heard a series of gunshots outside. Then, it was as if the whole world suddenly fell silent. She could smell the smell of gasoline and the smell of burning beside her. Anhao leaned against the car door and rammed her shoulder hard again until someone outside finally heard the sound of movement in the car. She heard someone saying something in English, and then footsteps approached. The car door was locked, and those people used some unknown method to open the car door behind them. Anhao had been leaning against the car door, so the moment the door opened, she rolled down and fell hard to the ground. She was lying on the ground and could only see that those people were wearing exquisite leather shoes. She barely raised her head and saw a few unfamiliar foreigners. Those people were holding guns, but they did not look like the fugitives who were dressed in messy clothes. From the way they dressed, they should be people of high status. However, the guns in their hands made her unable to observe too much. She could only vaguely smell the thick smell of blood. Anhao¡¯s face froze for a moment. She turned her head to the front of the car and saw that the Russian men and the Japanese man had been shot in the head. Half of their bodies were exposed by the car window, and their brains and blood were mixed together and flowing freely on the ground. If she hadn¡¯t vomited in the car before, she would definitely vomit now. She suppressed the despair and horror that seemed to have fallen into hell and slowly raised her head to look at the guns in the hands of the men in bright clothes. If these people were enemies with those people, she didn¡¯t know if they would let her go. The men with guns were still observing her body and her movements. They found that she was injured, her hands and feet were tied, and there were red marks on her mouth from when the seal was torn open. Her face was pale and she did not seem to have the ability to fight back. However, a young woman was kidnapped by those ruthless Russians, yet she was still not knocked out. She was still so clear-headed that she was knocking on the door of the car to ask for help. Clearly, this woman was not simple. The guns of those people were still pointed at her, and their eyes were filled with scrutiny and hesitation. Anhao¡¯s eyes swept across those people, trying to find the leader among them. However, these people¡¯s clothes did not look simple. If these people were also gangsters, then those Russian men just now could only be described as the lowest-end hooligans. These people were obviously much better than them. Just from the fact that these people were wearing handmade Italian leather shoes and expensive clothes, she had already made a subjective judgment about these people. ¡°Who are you?¡± One of the men with a gun asked coldly. He spoke in extremely fluent American English. Because of the previous seal, the skin around her mouth was already numb from the pain, and she could barely speak. Anhao steadied her breathing. She could not get up from the ground at all. She maintained her lying posture and said with some difficulty,¡±I was kidnapped by those Russians. I don¡¯t know why they kidnapped me ¡± However, one of the men suddenly looked at the seemingly inconspicuous but dazzling diamond earrings on her ear and immediately gestured for the person beside him to go over. Anhao didn¡¯t know why they were suddenly approaching her again. She immediately shrunk her neck to avoid revealing too much of her clothes and chest. However, the man in black who suddenly walked up to her lowered his head to check her ears. Anhao was puzzled, but she frowned secretly. She usually did not wear any jewelry, except for the earrings that Zuo Hancheng had personally put on for her. Because the ear studs would not affect her normal life and would not affect her recovery, she had been wearing them all this time The Russian fugitives were obviously not after money, so they did not even take the two diamond earrings on her ears seriously. But could these well-dressed men be robbers? The man who was checking her ear studs stood up and walked over. He said something to the men. After looking at her for a while, they put away their guns and ignored her. Instead, they turned to a black Hummer that had been parked for a long time. They opened the door and said something to the people inside. After that, Anhao didn¡¯t know what they were going to do, but two men in black came over and helped her up. However, they didn¡¯t help her untie her hands and feet. Instead, they brought her to the black Hummer and said respectfully to the people inside,¡±¡±This is the woman.¡± The door of the black Hummer slowly opened automatically. A man in his thirties was wearing a black suit. He looked more important than the others. The man looked at her carefully for a while, then looked at the pair of diamond earrings on her ears. ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with Vllen?¡±The man spoke in Chinese. Anhao was stunned for a moment, and her mind was a little sluggish. The blood and brain matter on the ground made her feel like it was a lifetime ago, so she couldn¡¯t remember who Vllen was. However, she suddenly remembered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s English name Vllen . How did they know that Zuo Hancheng had given her these earrings? No matter how expensive a pet was, it was only popular among women and noble ladies. Men in the underworld normally wouldn¡¯t care about something worth tens of millions. Unless they had been paying attention to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s every move for many years, they would not know that he had collected this set of jewelry. Seeing that Anhao had remained silent, the man looked at her coldly and said,¡±¡±Those people are all fugitives from the Russian border. If you were taken away by them, you definitely wouldn¡¯t live until tomorrow. We saved you and have no hostility towards you.¡± Chapter 794 - Chapter 794: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (2) Chapter 794: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (2) Translator: 549690339 Anhao was not sure if they were hostile to her, but she was sure that they were hostile to Zuo Hancheng. Vllen The men had obviously recognized her earring. They must have known about Zuo Hancheng and must have tracked him before. Otherwise, they would not have been so clear about such a small matter. ¡°We have no hostility towards you, but you seem to be very wary of us.¡±¡±You know us?¡± The man¡¯s voice was cold.¡± Anhao shook her head. Her pale face and the red blood on her back made her look even more fragile and helpless. She lowered her eyes and said softly,¡±I have just experienced a great change that almost killed me. Although it was indeed you who saved me, I don¡¯t know if I have just left the wolf¡¯s den and entered the tiger¡¯s den again ¡± The man raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡± They were going to capture a friend of mine, but she ran away. They took me away as if they wanted to threaten someone called Ken ¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was soft and her answer was ambiguous. However, when he heard her words, the man carefully examined her a few more times and his gaze fell on her ear again.¡±After saying so much, you just avoided the matter of Vllen. If you say that you don¡¯t know him, do you think I¡¯ll believe you? I advise you not to play word games with me.¡± As he spoke, he gave the two men behind her a look. They opened the back door of the car and pushed her in. Anhao¡¯s hands and feet were still tied, and she staggered in the car. However, this car didn¡¯t have a modified dark compartment. She sat weakly on the leather seat in the third row of the extended Hummer. The smell of the car was very clean, but it was mixed with the smell of blood on her back. But at least it smelled better than the outside. She no longer dared to look at the car that had started to combust in the distance, nor did she dare to look at the brains and blood that had been shot open. The smell outside was indescribable. She felt that she had to force herself to calm down to not vomit. There was only a chauffeur in the same black suit and the man who had spoken to him earlier. The man sat quietly in the leather chair in the front row until the back door was closed. Anhao leaned back weakly in the seat behind him. He glanced at her and said,¡±¡±The place where your hand was tied up is already bleeding. It seems to be very painful. We¡¯ll let you go when you remember your relationship with Vllen.¡± Anhao glanced at her wrists that were already bruised. She felt that although this man didn¡¯t seem like a good person, at least his style of doing things made her feel that there was more or less room for negotiation. However, it was difficult to guarantee that he might be more ruthless than the previous people. Perhaps it was just his appearance. ¡°Can you tell me who you are?¡± When the man heard her words, he looked at her coldly again.¡±What¡¯s your relationship with Vllen?¡± F ck, the topic was back again! If she did not know who they were, whether they were friends or foes, how could she tell them about her relationship with Zuo Hancheng? The wounds on Anhao¡¯s back that had already split open and were drenched in sweat were the most painful. She could already endure this kind of pain, but what about the pain from the skin on her wrist? In the end, it was not to the point of death. She placed her hands on her thighs and did not answer. Even if she lied and said that she did not know Vellen, it would be useless. Since these people asked her this question, they must have assumed that she knew Zuo Hancheng. Moreover, they could tell that she had a close relationship with Zuo Hancheng from the love she had with her. It was better for her to remain silent now, whether she was telling the truth or lying. The man seemed to be very patient. After staring at her face for a while, he suddenly thought of something and whispered to the person outside the car window. One of the men in a black suit went to another car to get a laptop. After he took the computer, she didn¡¯t know what he was doing on it, but Anhao couldn¡¯t see it clearly from her angle. Moreover, her life was more important now. It was more important to escape from these people. No matter what he was searching for, it should have nothing to do with her. While the man was looking at the computer, she took the opportunity to pay attention to the driver¡¯s position. There was a special glass between the driver¡¯s seat and the back seat, so she couldn¡¯t pass through it. Although the driver didn¡¯t turn around to look at her, he was monitoring her every move through the rearview mirror. Anhao couldn¡¯t move. She could only turn her head out of the car window with her back facing them. Her eyes quickly searched for a way out. However, it was only then that she saw clearly that other than the self-igniting car and the blood and brain matter on the ground that almost completely overturned her worldview, this was actually a farm in the suburbs of some American city. Not far away, there were many edible plants and cows planted, but there were no farmers. All she could see were men in almost uniform. Almost everyone had weapons in their hands, and the cars parked around were also very high-end. At the intersection ahead, there were two large trucks. Some people were moving things into the truck. Anhao narrowed her eyes and looked carefully. She realized that there were many illegal guns and controlled knives that were not allowed to be used casually. Even though the Americans were more open-minded than the Chinese, and even if they brought weapons with them, they would not lock them up. However, those weapons were obviously related to the military. The United States and Russia were both big countries that sold firearms, and most of the dark priests were involved in the business of selling firearms. If those cars were filled with firearms and weapons, then these people should be involved in the trafficking. If that was the case, perhaps they were not the kind of people who were desperate even though they were in the underworld. ¡°Mrs. Zuo ¡± Anhao¡¯s thoughts were spinning non-stop because of what she had just observed. However, because of the lukewarm voice beside her, her blood instantly froze. She froze and did not move until the man let out another emotionless chuckle. Then, she suddenly turned to look at the man. The computer screen on the man¡¯s lap was now facing her. The screen was filled with information about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dealings in China and the United States for the past eight years, including the news about her standing with Zuo Hancheng in front of the media more than three years ago. Anhao only felt that these people¡¯s database was too scary, and her heart pounded even more violently when she found out that they had been tracking everything about Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng must be thinking of a way to save her now. If it was just those Russians just now, they might not be able to defeat Zuo Hancheng with their strength and intelligence, but now these people made her feel a chill down her spine. Chapter 795 - Chapter 795: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (3) Chapter 795: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (3) Translator: 549690339 Looking at all the information and pictures about Zuo Hancheng on the screen, Anhao¡¯s eyes fell on the man¡¯s face. He looked at the emotions that flashed across her eyes with a faint smile. All of a sudden, he reached out his hand. Anhao instinctively shrank back, but she could only lean against the car door behind her. The man¡¯s hand brushed away the strands of hair that were stuck to her cheeks. Then, he stared at her face for a long time before he slowly lowered his eyes to look at the enlarged photo of her and Zuo Hancheng standing together on the computer screen. ¡°Look what treasure I accidentally got. You¡¯re actually Vllen¡¯s wife.¡±The man slowly retracted his hand under Anhao¡¯s guarded gaze, but his eyes actually looked a little smug. ¡°Who exactly are you?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t like the feeling of being the enemy in the dark while she was in the light. Since her identity had been exposed, she had to know what her current situation was. The man didn¡¯t answer her, but looked at her meaningfully. He seemed to be in a good mood, as if the prey he had been waiting for for many years had finally found its way to the door. His gaze slowly shifted away from her, and he said to the driver in English,¡± Drive.¡± The black limousine they were in quickly drove away from this area that even the American police couldn¡¯t get involved in. Anhao sat in the car and couldn¡¯t move. However, the man stared at her photo on the computer for a while longer. No one knew what he was thinking. Even though he was only looking at her photo, Anhao still felt uncomfortable all over. Especially when she was almost violated by the two Russian men in the car just now. At that time, she could disgust the two men by vomiting, but this man looked both gentlemanly and dangerous. It was obvious that she could not deal with him with her little tricks. He closed the laptop and threw it aside. Then, she didn¡¯t know what he was thinking about, but he turned to look at her again.¡±Other than being Vllen¡¯s wife, what other identities do you have? For example, who is your father? And who is your mother?¡± Anhao looked at him in confusion, but slowly shook her head.¡±¡±I don¡¯t have parents.¡± The man immediately frowned in displeasure. He was probably dissatisfied with her obvious perfunctory attitude. ¡°My parents are dead.¡± Anhao said lightly,¡±If you really have a left ¡± With Vllen¡¯s information, he should have investigated his wife and know that I don¡¯t have any background ¡± ¡°We really didn¡¯t investigate you.¡±The man narrowed his eyes at her.¡± But now, I¡¯m suddenly very interested in investigating your background, Mrs. Zuo, because ¡± He stared at her pale face and paused for two or three seconds before saying,¡±You¡¯re too much like a person ¡± Anhao frowned but didn¡¯t say anything. Someone once said that she looked like Rong Xue, but it was only occasionally that she looked a little like her. It was not strange for two people who had nothing to do with each other to look a little like each other. Moreover, through Rong Qian, she confirmed that she had absolutely no relationship with the Rong family in the United States. Later, someone said that she looked very similar to An Ping. Indeed, she did look a little similar to her mother when she was young. Her nose and eyes looked very similar to An Ping. This kind of similarity between mother and daughter was another concept. So she didn¡¯t know who exactly she looked like now, which was why this man was looking at her with such a meaningful gaze. However, his gaze was like a poisonous snake that she couldn¡¯t avoid but was terrifyingly cold. Anhao¡¯s thoughts were in a mess until she felt that the car had already driven onto an unknown highway. Although the man was no longer looking at her, he was sitting sideways on the leather chair in front of her. From the side of his face, she could see that he was still probing. ¡°You and Zuo Hancheng I¡¯m talking about Vllen. Is he a friend or foe?¡±Anhao suddenly asked. The man turned back to look at her and sneered,¡± The answer of friend or foe doesn¡¯t seem to be of much use to you. If you¡¯re a friend, you¡¯re already our captive and he¡¯s coming to take you away. If you¡¯re an enemy, it¡¯s useless even if you bite your tongue and commit suicide in front of me. Even if you don¡¯t want to implicate Vllen and decide to commit suicide, I can dig out your eyes or heart for him to see. He¡¯ll still come to us in the end.¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned pale. The man saw her expression and said indifferently,¡±¡±As long as you behave yourself, we won¡¯t make things difficult for you. After all, Vllen used to be our friend. Even if we can¡¯t be polite to his wife, we¡¯ll try our best to be gentlemanly.¡± ¡°At least .¡± There was a strange smile in his eyes, which was funny but also cold.¡±We don¡¯t do dirty things like those branches of the Russian mafia. We¡¯ve always been polite to women.¡± ¡°Is this considered being polite?¡± Anhao lifted her bound hands slightly. When the man saw her actions, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly.¡±We didn¡¯t tie this up for you.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re very gentlemanly? What kind of gentleman is he if he doesn¡¯t even do something like helping to untie her?¡± The man suddenly smiled.¡± Mrs. Zuo is such a smart person, so I can¡¯t untie you. But you don¡¯t have to suffer for long. We¡¯ll arrive in New York soon. When we reach New York City, we¡¯ll send you to your place. Someone will specially untie you and apply medicine. You won¡¯t suffer.¡±¡± Anhao was sure that what this man was saying was true. No matter how they treated her, everything should have come from Zuo Hancheng. Were they trying to use her to force Zuo Hancheng to appear? ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you don¡¯t have to think too much. We won¡¯t hurt you. It¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t seen our old friend Vllen for many years and miss him very much.¡±Seeing the wariness and doubt in Anhao¡¯s eyes, the man suddenly said,¡± Anhao frowned and said,¡± Since you can find out about him, you should know that I met him in China and got married in A City. We only went back to the Zuo family to visit our relatives. If I hadn¡¯t been kidnapped by those people, I might never have come into contact with gangsters like you in this way in my life .¡± The man was not impatient with her words. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and listened carefully. ¡°Now that I¡¯ve been taken away by you, I just want to know what you want to use me for. Using me to threaten him? Hurt him? Or what?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo Since you don¡¯t know the situation, I don¡¯t have to explain it to you. Seeing that your face is very similar to someone, I can only tell you that I used to work for Vllen and was one of his subordinates. Of course, I¡¯m only talking about the past.¡± The man was smiling when he spoke, but his smile was so strange that it made Anhao¡¯s blood, which had coagulated countless times, feel cold to the bone. Chapter 796 - Chapter 796: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (4) Chapter 796: Zuo Hancheng, Vllen (4) Translator: 549690339 He was once Zuo Hancheng¡¯s subordinate? What was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s past identity? The man did not seem to want to answer any of her questions. His cold gaze lingered on her face for a long time before he looked out the window. At the same time, in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles. A few black cars approached the direction of the thick smoke until they reached the point where they could no longer get close. After checking the surveillance cameras on every road, Zuo Hancheng, who had finally found Anhao¡¯s last missing location, quickly got out of the car. ¡°Mister Zuo.¡± D, who was in the car at the front, had already gotten out of the car to check the surrounding environment. He turned around and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who had already walked over, and said respectfully,¡± Those Russians probably planned to kidnap Miss Sun here and threaten Xu Chengfeng to come here to save her. These explosives should have been prepared for Xu Chengfeng, but they caught the wrong person. The abandoned building in front is now .¡± Before D could finish his sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked past him expressionlessly. He looked at the building that had been burning for a long time and was still burning. The smoke around him had drifted far away, but when he saw that the abandoned building had completely collapsed into charred ruins, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was much uglier than before. ¡®This place has been blown up, and now there¡¯s no guarantee that Mrs. Zuo hasn¡¯t been thrown here.¡¯ If they really threw Mrs. Zuo here and blew her up ¡± D hesitated for a moment before whispering,¡±¡±I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no corpse left.¡± There was no response from D after he finished speaking. He looked up at Zuo Hancheng, only to see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze in that direction. His gaze only lingered on the place where the fire was still burning for a moment before he suddenly turned his head and looked at the traces left by the car¡¯s wheels on the ground not far away. D was also observing everything and considering the possibility of Mrs. Zuo¡¯s survival. It would be best if they took Mrs. Zuo away, but Mrs. Zuo was not Zuo Yue. It was useless to Xu Chengfeng, whom they wanted to threaten. Those outlaws from the Russian mafia¡¯s side branches killed without blinking, and they were likely to do more animal behavior that they could not imagine. Anhao was a useless person to them. With their usual methods, they would definitely kill her directly to prevent her from causing any trouble by keeping her by their side. But now that the building had been blown up, and Mrs. Zuo had been in a crisis until now, her life and death were still unknown. D could not imagine Zuo Hancheng¡¯s feelings at this moment. He could only observe the traces of the wheels on the ground and say,¡¯They¡¯re going to blow up this place. The biggest possibility is to let us set the target location here, so as to give them more time to escape and transfer. The time has passed. A few hours have passed. If Mrs. Zuo isn¡¯t here, but was taken away by them, then maybe she¡¯s still alive.¡¯ ¡°Of course she¡¯s still alive.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded casual. However, it was filled with a killing intent. D had been by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for many years. In the years that followed, he had also secretly arranged all the operations that he needed. He was considered the person who understood Zuo Hancheng the most. However, at this moment, he could not understand the emotions hidden in the surging coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. At this moment, the door of the car behind them opened. Zuo Yue, who had been sitting in the car and following them because she was worried about Anhao, got out of the car. The smell of smoke outside the car made Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes panic for a moment. She looked at the destroyed building and then at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back, who was standing alone in the ruins. Her face turned pale and she quickly walked over. ¡°Brother, sister-in-law, she . She had always been so lucky She definitely won¡¯t be left here ¡± Zuo Yue said as she slowly walked forward. However, just as she took two steps in that direction, her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. Zuo Hancheng pulled her back and looked at her with a cold warning gaze.¡±What are you going to do?¡± ¡°Sister-in-law was captured because she wanted to save me. Those fugitives ¡®target was me. I was kidnapped once last year, but my parents and grandfather didn¡¯t know! I know their methods very well! I¡¯ll go in and take a look. If I can find any clues, I¡¯ll be able to confirm if sister-in-law has left this place ¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go. Those Russian outlaws don¡¯t have any brains other than killing and fighting. If Gu Anhao doesn¡¯t even have the means to fight with these people to protect herself, then I can indeed build a cenotaph for her here.¡±After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking coldly, he forcefully pulled Zuo Yue back and handed her over to D.¡± Send her to the car. ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law has saved me twice. If you want to find her, you have to bring me along, okay? Originally, these should have been imposed on me ¡± The other man behind D suddenly walked over and whispered to Zuo Hancheng,¡±¡± Mr. Zuo, we¡¯ve checked the tracks on the ground. Their car should be heading towards the main road on the left. In order to avoid the cameras on the highway, they must have passed through the barren mountains and mud fields over there. That¡¯s one of the few barren places around Los Angeles, but there is indeed a dark road that can be used. But if they passed through there, they should be near the suburbs of New York by now .¡± D had already sent Zuo Yue, who was eager to go find Anhao, into the car and asked the others to come over and watch her. When he turned around and heard the person¡¯s words, he immediately looked at Zuo Hancheng with a strange expression. New York hadn¡¯t been peaceful in recent years. The largest country that sold firearms was Russia. Since the war in Syria, the underground organizations of the United States had also intervened in firearms matters. The key cities were in New York and other places. As for New York, it was a critical time. If any unknown vehicle entered their territory, they would definitely be killed. D had already predicted that even if Anhao did not die here, her current situation would be extremely dangerous. If her luck was even worse . If he met ¡®those people¡¯ D suddenly looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s extremely cold expression. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze followed the traces on the ground and looked indifferently in the direction of the road where the barren mountain was. His gaze was cold.¡±Chase after him.¡± The people around him were all shocked. They knew what would happen if Zuo Hancheng used this method to track him down in New York. ¡°Mister Zuo ¡± D was about to open his mouth to stop him. Zuo Hancheng looked much calmer than all of them. His voice was cold and slow.¡±This day will come sooner or later. It¡¯s time to end this. Call the car behind to send Zuo Yue back.¡± D was silent for a moment before he finally said in a deep voice,¡±Yes.¡± Chapter 797 - Chapter 797: He’s Here (1) Chapter 797: He¡¯s Here (1) Translator: 549690339 The car sped through New York City, and everything around her was the face of the city that Anhao had never seen before. However, the pedestrians and cars passing by would never have imagined that there was a woman in this high-class Hummer with her hands and feet tied up. The wound on her back was already bleeding. Her body had long been overloaded, and her body was covered in cold sweat. She relied on the pain all over her body to barely keep herself from fainting. However, her consciousness had gradually dissipated, and she could only look at the scenery that quickly passed by outside the car window. New York? Was this place very close to the An family¡¯s awe-stricken area? She had finally gotten close to her true roots, but she did not expect to use such a method. Anhao¡¯s consciousness gradually became more and more scattered because her body was completely overloaded. She gradually closed her eyes to conserve some strength and tried her best not to fall asleep. She was in a trap and needed to be awake at all times. However, in less than half an hour, the car drove off in an unknown direction. Anhao only opened her eyes slowly when the car stopped. The car door behind her opened and a few people got out of the car in front of her and were about to drag her out. The man in the car looked back at her.¡±Don¡¯t touch her. Go see Mr. Arel first. Before you go, take a photo of this woman and show it to him.¡± When Anhao heard that they were going to take photos, she looked at him strangely. The men were also stunned. They didn¡¯t know why they were suddenly asked to do this, but they still obediently did as they were told. When the few of them took out their phones and took a few photos of her face, Anhao wanted to turn her head away, but the man suddenly said coldly,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t want to be carried down by them, then obediently let them take pictures.¡± Anhao endured the shame. After those people finished taking photos and turned around to leave, she suddenly turned to look at the man in the car.¡±Why do you want to take photos? Do you have to make a list of photos of your captives? Where did this perverted hobby come from?¡± Seeing how angry she was like a little beast, the man curled his lips coldly.¡±Mrs. Zuo, I think this should be your true side. The way you tried so hard to pretend to be gentle and weak before really made me lose my appetite. I was still wondering why Vllen¡¯s taste was so bad.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t answer. At first, she didn¡¯t know what these people were doing. If she didn¡¯t put on an act, would she be able to directly scold these people with guns? At least, she still wanted to live until she was in despair! ¡°Do you want to be untied?¡± The man suddenly changed his tone. Anhao paused for a moment. Her wrists and ankles were in so much pain that she couldn¡¯t feel them anymore. The excruciating pain from before had always been the reason why she hadn¡¯t fallen asleep. Why would he suddenly be so kind as to help her untie her? She did not believe it. However, the man reached out his hand under her obviously distrustful gaze. Anhao instinctively dodged, but in the next moment, he actually helped her untie the extremely strong rope made of unknown material. Her legs regained their freedom. She looked at him in surprise, and the man gestured for her to reach out her hand. Although Anhao was hesitant, she would have more chances if she could untie him, so she obediently reached out her hand. After she regained her freedom, she did not have the strength to get out of the car. Moreover, her hands and feet were already numb. She leaned against the car and asked,¡±You suddenly untied me to prove that you are indeed a gentleman? Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll run away?¡± ¡°Escape? With your ability, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to escape.¡±The man laughed as he spoke. Anhao was about to scold him when she saw a silver-colored, top-notch metal pistol suddenly appear in his hand. Her expression froze as she saw the gun suddenly pointed at her chest. She, who had been threatened by the muzzle earlier, instantly froze. ¡°In our place, everyone has a weapon. A few hundred meters away can directly take your life. Even if you want to escape, you might not be able to escape alive.¡± The man sneered and gave her a look, hinting for her to get out of the car herself. Although Anhao was a little scared because of the gun, it reminded her of the blood and brain matter on the ground. Those people were shot in the head by their guns. Her courage was almost worn out because of those disgusting and bloody scenes, but at this moment, she could not show too much fear. She sat stiffly for a while more. When she felt that her previously numb limbs had regained some feeling, she slowly turned around and got out of the car. However, she was in a very bad state now. When she got out of the car, she swayed a little and had no choice but to lean against the car door to rest for a moment. The man picked up the gun and no longer faced her. Apparently, he noticed her fear from her stiff expression just now. When he got out of the car, he turned around and saw her disheveled appearance. He said calmly,¡±If you weren¡¯t Vllen¡¯s wife, I might have asked them to carry you away. But since you¡¯re Vllen¡¯s wife, I¡¯ll try my best not to let anyone touch you. So if you can walk on your own, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t ask me to get someone to help you.¡± Anhao immediately tried her best to stand up straight, but she looked at him suspiciously.¡±Are you an enemy or a friend?¡± The man didn¡¯t explain. He just looked at the buildings not far away that looked no different from ordinary villas. However, Anhao realized that although these villas looked high-end and luxurious, and this seemed to be a separate and expensive villa area, they were surrounded by their people and no outsiders lived here. So this luxurious villa complex was their territory? ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you . Don¡¯t you plan to get to know your husband better?¡±The man didn¡¯t answer her but asked her back in a lukewarm manner. Anhao didn¡¯t say a word, but she tried her best to stand steadily, so that no one would come over to help her. ¡°Zuo Hancheng ¡± ¡°Other than being Zuo Hancheng, he is also Vllen,¡± the man said coldly.¡± ¡°I know his English name is Vllen.¡± Anhao glanced at him.¡± The man suddenly raised his eyebrows and sneered,¡±Do you know what the name Vllen means to us underground organizations?¡± Anhao looked at him silently and realized that this man¡¯s feelings for Zuo Hancheng seemed to be very complicated. It seemed to be filled with hatred, but he was always merciful to her, Mrs. Zuo. He did not hurt her because of his hatred for Zuo Hancheng. ¡°The American mafia, the Russian mafia, and the Italian mafia are the three largest mafia organizations in the world. They never interfere with each other or interfere with the actions of any party.¡±The man¡¯s calm voice continued. Anhao said impatiently,¡± I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re telling me. I¡¯ve never understood your world, and I¡¯ve never wanted to.¡±¡± Chapter 798 - Chapter 798: He Is Here (2) Chapter 798: He Is Here (2) Translator: 549690339 ¡°No, you should understand.¡± The man said meaningfully,¡± Because your husband, Zuo Hancheng, was the leader of the underground Los Angeles branch of the American mafia ten years ago. It¡¯s equivalent to half of our power in the United States. Everyone would listen to him, including me. I thought I could be loyal to him for life.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows twitched as she looked at him in surprise. The man suddenly sneered and shook his head.¡±¡±Unfortunately ¡± He suddenly turned to look at her.¡± Since you¡¯re so smart, why don¡¯t you guess where this is?¡±¡± Anhao raised her eyes and looked forward again. Although this villa area was large, it seemed that only they were here. There were people in black suits guarding the surroundings, but it didn¡¯t feel like there were people here often. At first, she thought that this was the base of their group. Now, it seemed that this villa complex had been shelved for many years. If what the man said was true, and the topic of conversation was directed at Zuo Hancheng, then this should be the place that Zuo Hancheng once belonged to when he was involved in the mafia. If this was really Zuo Hancheng¡¯s place Anhao suddenly turned to look at the man.¡±¡±Why did you bring me here?¡± Seeing that she had guessed it, the man smiled.¡±Of course, we¡¯re waiting for Vllen to come back.¡± Anhao had always been on high alert, but she frowned because of his words. They had never contacted Zuo Hancheng. It had been at least four to five hours since she lost contact with him in Los Angeles. How could Zuo Hancheng know that she was here? ¡°Mrs. Zuo.¡± The man walked past her.¡± You really should get to know the man you married.¡±¡± ¡± I know him very well. No matter what he did before he took over Shengling Group, it was ten years ago. Men often have hidden blood when they are still very young. I don¡¯t think his unmentioned past is worth my curiosity.¡±¡± On the contrary,¡± Anhao said indifferently,¡± in my heart, he will always be the same Zuo Hancheng who is doing illegal business in the business world. He has nothing to do with the Vllen that you guys are talking about. Even if there is a relationship, it has been ten years since then. Who would still be bothered by what happened ten years ago?¡±¡± The man sneered.¡± I admire your attitude. In America, it¡¯s not strange to be involved with guns or gangs. We don¡¯t lack people with powerful backgrounds like Vllen, but he¡¯s not an ordinary person. He used to be our leader. It¡¯s not as simple as you think.¡± After saying that, the man did not say anything more to her. He only signaled her to walk in with his eyes. Seeing that he really had no intention of touching her, Anhao hesitated for a moment and slowly walked in the direction he pointed. Ten minutes later, Anhao was settled in a clean room in the villa area. The man sent a maid over from somewhere. The maid was a foreigner. The man told her some things in English, but basically, he helped the injured lady wash her body, pay attention to her wounds, and change into clean clothes. Anhao was still sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the man. Suddenly, the man¡¯s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression was strange and subtle. He suddenly smiled and looked in Anhao¡¯s direction before picking up the phone right in front of her. ¡°J, if you dare to touch her, you will know the price.¡± When he heard the voice on the other end of the phone, the man¡¯s smile became even more strange and even demonic.¡±Vllen, it¡¯s been ten years. Welcome back.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t hear who was on the other end of the phone, nor did she hear the voice clearly. However, she stood up abruptly because of the man¡¯s sudden words. ¡°Is that Zuo Hancheng?¡± she asked. However, the man had already hung up the phone at this moment. He looked at the anxiety in her eyes indifferently.¡±What¡¯s wrong? You want to shout at him to not come over? Don¡¯t even think about it. No matter what, he will come and save you, unless he¡¯s not Vllen.¡± Anhao looked at him for a while, then looked at his phone again, knowing that he was telling the truth. She wanted to stop Zuo Hancheng from coming, but it was just her wishful thinking. Just as Anhao took a step back and was about to turn around, the man said,¡±¡±Do you know what he just called me?¡± Anhao paused and looked back at him. ¡°He called me J.¡± She couldn¡¯t understand the man¡¯s expression, but she could tell that he was happy. ¡± Those of us who were once most loyal to him all had a special code name, a code name that belonged solely to Vllen. I¡¯m J, and beside him, there¡¯s D, T, and many others you¡¯ve met but don¡¯t know their identities.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t understand either. Once Vllen calls us by his nickname, it means that he¡¯s really back.¡± J looked at Anhao¡¯s dark eyes with a strange and excited expression.¡±¡±It seems like Vllen really cares about you, Mrs. Zuo. I can hear that he left us because of his filial piety and rationality towards Old Master Zuo. Now, all of this seems to be nothing compared to your current situation. He came back for you.¡± The man was clearly smiling, but Anhao felt that his smile was creepy. The maid spent more than 40 minutes helping Anhao bathe and clean her wounds. The wound on Anhao¡¯s back had already bled a lot because it had reopened. After sticking to her clothes for such a long time, her clothes and the wound had long adhered together. At first, when the maid took off her clothes, even though she was very careful, she could not help but tear the scabs on her back again. However, throughout the whole day, Anhao was already numb from the pain. Even when the maid cried out for help because she was bleeding again, and even when they sent a temporary doctor to help her apply the medicine, Anhao never cried out in pain again. After taking a shower and cleaning the wound, the maid went outside to get a set of clothes. There was a tag on the dress, and it was the same style as the white loose dress she had worn before. It was obvious that J had asked someone to buy it specially. Did he want her to wear the same style of dress to create a scene where she was not injured or abused by him? If that was really the case, then even though J used her to threaten Zuo Hancheng, he seemed to be very afraid of Zuo Hancheng. She couldn¡¯t really be naked in the room, so Anhao still put on the clothes. The clothes were the same size as the previous one, let alone the brand. There was no need for him to do this. Even if she was injured and bleeding, Zuo Hancheng could tell that it was caused by the Russians who took her away. Chapter 799 - Chapter 799: He’s Here (3) Chapter 799: He¡¯s Here (3) Translator: 549690339 Anhao stood in the room and looked at the scene outside the French window. Although this window could directly look out of the villa area, it was very far away. She raised her hand to touch the window and realized that the glass quality of this window was very special. If this was a place occupied by the American mafia, the windows would be 100% bulletproof. She could not help but raise her hand and knock on the window. She originally wanted to see if there was any obvious difference between the windows, but the maid in the room was frightened. She hurriedly ran over and waved her hands in front of Anhao, telling her not to do anything wrong. Otherwise, the people here would definitely come over. This maid must have been captured. She seemed to be afraid of them, or perhaps she was just a captive. Anhao glanced at her and understood her messy English, so she put her hand down. However, she did not expect Zuo Hancheng to come so quickly. Anhao was just about to follow the maid and sit on the bed to rest for a while. She had not eaten for the whole day and had even vomited before. Her entire body was uncomfortable. Physical strength was the only way for her to save herself. She could not continue to squander like this. However, before she could touch the bed, she suddenly heard some movement outside. She turned her eyes to look outside and saw dozens of cars parked outside the villa area. Anhao instantly turned around and walked to the window to look out carefully. From here, it could be seen that the entire villa area was suddenly surrounded by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s convoy. The black Maybachs seemed to have driven out of hell. They surrounded the villa area very neatly and efficiently, leaving no way for anyone to escape. This kind of flawless yet deadly method was a spectacular sight that Anhao had never seen before in her life. She even held her breath because of this grand scene. Anhao stared at the black cars. She knew that Zuo Hancheng had arrived. Zuo Hancheng slowly got out of the car, and the door of the passenger seat opened at the same time. She saw the mysterious man she had met in A City three years ago and at the Zuo family¡¯s house. He got out of the car and followed behind Zuo Hancheng. His expression was solemn and cold. It was not difficult to tell that he was one of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s loyal subordinates. Anhao had long known that these people were not simple, but she had never thought that it would be so complicated. So those people should be the ones J had mentioned? Those who had sworn to be loyal to him even after Zuo Hancheng left? Those people who only had code names in front of Zuo Hancheng were his most loyal subordinates. Seeing the unfamiliar yet familiar Zuo Hancheng appear in her line of sight, Anhao¡¯s gaze froze. However, her vision was suddenly blocked by a figure. She snapped back to her senses and looked at the man named J. Just like that, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and blocked her line of sight with the window. However, Zuo Hancheng had clearly seen her. What was the use of him coming over to block her line of sight from Zuo Hancheng? However, Anhao was still angered by him. No matter how much she had been hurt before, she had never felt so angry. This J was obviously toying with her! She looked at his back coldly and was about to turn around to walk to the side when J¡¯s hand seemed to move unintentionally. Anhao suddenly saw the silver pistol in his hand and she immediately glared at him. J turned around and looked at her through the glass window with a cold smile. His eyes were filled with warning. He was holding a gun, but she was not sure if Zuo Hancheng had one on him. Even if Zuo Hancheng came prepared, he was in the open and these people were in the dark. Moreover, J had brought many subordinates with him. Moreover, J was once Zuo Hancheng¡¯s man. If Zuo Hancheng was not so wary of him, J might have done something to hurt Zuo Hancheng. Anhao stood in front of the window and did not walk away because he was blocking her view. She stood in her original position and looked out through the limited visual space on his shoulder. Her gaze fell in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction again. Zuo Hancheng saw the woman¡¯s four eyes on each other. In an instant, Anhao saw the man who had always been gentle and overbearing to her, and his handsome face tightened. It was obvious that he was enduring the raging anger. The darkness was full of haze. He was wearing a simple black shirt. No matter how casual he was, he would not be like this. A few buttons on the front of his collar were undone, and she could almost see his chest heaving up and down because of the pressure. However, this Zuo Hancheng looked more like the underground lord of Los Angeles that J had described. Ten years ago, Zuo Cheng was only in his early twenties. As the most proud heir of the Zuo family, he had his own things to do. At that time, he might have been brave, he might have risked his life, or he might have been the last important member of the American mafia. However, he was still the heir of the Zuo family. At that time, he would listen to his grandfather and stay away from everything related to the underworld. Back then, he was forced by Chengxin and his grandfather to leave the United States in one fell swoop. Presumably, he had gone to China to completely cut off contact with the scourge of the United States. For so many years, the old man had always thought that Zuo Hancheng would listen to him. After all, he could even let go of the mafia. Perhaps Zuo Hancheng had always wanted to leave this place, but he had not found a suitable opportunity. Zuo Hancheng was a person who could earn millions or tens of millions of dollars in cash every minute, but he kept a low profile as if he was just a simple company boss. He had never considered himself as a CEO of a multi-national company. Before she had joked with him about the house, he had not even bothered to buy too many properties. People like him had a unique wisdom and self-restraint. They had a low-key and peaceful standard of living. They lived a quiet and simple life. Therefore, in the past ten years, he had no contact with these people. Obviously, they could not do anything to Zuo Hancheng. However, Anhao still remembered the phone call that Zuo Hancheng had received when she returned to America. The phone call at that time should not have much to do with Zuo Yue, but it should be related to these people. She remembered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression at that time, just like now, dark and cold. Anhao¡¯s emotions were indescribably complicated as she stared into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes from afar. J, on the other hand, looked very pleased with himself. He raised his eyebrows and looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Just as Zuo Hancheng was about to walk over, he suddenly raised the gun in his hand and aimed it accurately at Anhao¡¯s forehead. Chapter 800 - Chapter 800: He’s Here (4) Chapter 800: He¡¯s Here (4) Translator: 549690339 Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face tensed up when he saw J¡¯s actions. His dark eyes fell on Anhao¡¯s face and saw that her face was obviously pale. Even though her clothes looked clean and there were no traces of blood, her paleness was obviously abnormal. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s patience had reached a negative value. He looked at J¡¯s smug expression expressionlessly and said,¡±¡±J, that¡¯s bulletproof glass. If you really shoot, be careful that the bullet will bounce back to the end of the muzzle and break your own head first.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, J did not let go of his hand. Instead, he smiled happily.¡±Vllen, you haven¡¯t been back to this place for ten years. How can you be sure that all the glass here hasn¡¯t been replaced? Are you sure this is bulletproof? Do you want me to shoot first? Or .¡± J raised his hand and slid across Anhao¡¯s chest with the glass. Finally, he pointed at her heart.¡±¡±Come, shoot here.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold and sharp eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.¡±I don¡¯t remember you liking to die so much.¡± His indifferent voice was faintly cold. J was still smiling at him. Although they were separated by the glass, he could clearly see Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dissatisfaction. He immediately moved his hand away from his mouth and stopped taking advantage of Mrs. Zuo through the window. ¡°Vllen, if I hadn¡¯t saved her from those Russian fugitives at Cross Road Farm in the suburbs of New York, do you think she would still be alive?¡±J said as if he was taking credit. However, it was obvious that there were more than a hundred gunmen hidden in the villa area. Regardless of whether he took credit for it or not, Zuo Hancheng would not be able to leave as long as he appeared here. If Mrs. Zuo was not here, perhaps with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ability and his skills that had already amazed everyone ten years ago, he would not have been trapped by a hundred gunmen. However, Mrs. Zuo was here, and he would not leave. Anhao could hear their voices through the window, but it was not very clear. She kept staring at Zuo Hancheng, and his gaze fell on her. J¡¯s back was facing Anhao¡¯s direction. He looked at Zuo Hancheng with a smile and mouthed silently,¡±¡±The omnipotent Vllen, you already have a weakness.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze turned even colder when he saw what he was mouthing. At this moment, regardless of whether the floor-to-ceiling window was bulletproof or not, instead of saying that J¡¯s gun was threatening Anhao¡¯s life, it was more accurate to say that there were killers hiding in every corner and darkness of the room that could instantly take her life. He knew the environment and facilities of the villa. Even if they had done some renovations in the past ten years, the once confidential design would not be easily changed. There were too many hidden corners here. J Association arranged for him to come here because they wanted to use his flawless transformation to threaten him. The more J laughed, the calmer Zuo Hancheng became. J was very unwilling. At this point, Vllen had actually not pulled out his gun in order to protect the ordinary and simple world in Mrs. Zuo¡¯s heart. Was he afraid that once he pulled out his gun in front of Mrs. Zuo, the other him would be seen? The Vllen who seemed to be able to change into another face in an instant, the Vllen from before. J looked at the cars outside the villa area. He knew that if the stalemate continued, even if he was 100% confident at the beginning, he could tell that neither side would end up well if this continued. In the end, J couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. J lowered the gun from between Anhao¡¯s eyebrows and said coldly,¡±¡±When you left, Mr. Arel was very dissatisfied. He didn¡¯t think that you should go and see Mr. Arel and give him a good explanation.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes flashed with a cold light.¡±This doesn¡¯t seem like something you should interfere with.¡± ¡± If it was ten years ago, I really shouldn¡¯t have gotten involved, and I didn¡¯t follow you to the death no matter where you are like D and the others. Now, I¡¯m Mr. Arel¡¯s subordinate, and I should be working for Mr. Arel. He¡¯s very dissatisfied with you. Vllen, you should know the price you have to pay for offending Mr. Arel.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was cold.¡± As the godfather of the American mafia, I¡¯m afraid his tolerance is not as small as you think. J, let my wife go. Don¡¯t force me to disregard the friendship that we once shared life and death together and attack you.¡±¡± J sneered.¡± Vllen, you¡¯ve already wasted everything ten years ago. I didn¡¯t leave with you like D. Am I not loyal to you?¡± But Vllen, you¡¯ve really disappointed me ¡± J Leng narrowed his eyes.¡± Back then, because of your departure, all of us who were unwilling to leave the organization with you almost lost our lives. If it wasn¡¯t for Mr. Arel who gave us a chance to survive, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t be standing here right now, threatening you with Mrs. Zuo¡¯s life!¡± Without waiting for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response, J spoke again,¡±¡±Go see Mr. Arel and I¡¯ll let her go.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know who that Mr. Arel was, but she remembered that when she had just gotten off the car, J had asked those people to take a photo of her. He said that he was going to send it to Mr. Arel and that she looked like a person. She still didn¡¯t understand what he meant. Mr. Arel? Is it the godfather of the underworld? Was he the real leader of the American mafia? She did not understand all this, but it was obvious that Zuo Hancheng did not want to have anything to do with Mr. Arel. However, when he saw Anhao¡¯s pale face and the faint traces of torn skin under her white dress, his eyes turned cold again. Suddenly, J turned around and signaled the maid to bring Anhao out. The maid came over and held Anhao¡¯s arm. She said in English that she wanted to bring her out. Anhao hesitated for a moment but did not resist. After walking out of the villa, although Anhao couldn¡¯t see who was around, she could still vaguely feel a prickling sensation on her back. Although she couldn¡¯t see, there were people everywhere. There might be people shooting at her head in any corner. The scene of those people¡¯s heads being smashed and their brains and blood flowing everywhere made her quicken her pace. All she wanted to do now was to return to Zuo Hancheng as soon as possible. After the maid brought her over, J suddenly walked over and reached out to her in a gentlemanly manner, indicating that he wanted to help her. Anhao ignored his actions with a cold face, but J did not care. He smiled and held her fingertips politely. He did not have any intention of taking advantage of her. He brought her to a stop a few meters away from Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Vllen, as long as you agree to meet Mr. Arel, I¡¯ll return her to you immediately.¡± There was no longer a window separating her and Zuo Hancheng. They were only a few meters apart. Anhao resisted the urge to rush over. She couldn¡¯t. She knew it was dangerous here. ¡°Come here.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question, but his voice was cold as he spoke to Anhao. There was no fluctuation in his dark pupils, and he looked tall and cold. Chapter 801 - Chapter 801: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (1) Chapter 801: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (1) Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were exactly the answer he gave J, who immediately let go of Anhao¡¯s hand. Anhao stared in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. Although his gaze was cold, perhaps he blamed her for leaving his sight because of Zuo Yue, but no matter what, the place she missed the most was where Zuo Hancheng was. Even if he was the rage of the heavens, even if she died, she would die by his side, not by the hands of these strangers. Anhao¡¯s feet moved slowly. For the first time in her life, she felt that the road ahead was so long that she almost lost her patience. Actually, it was only seven or eight meters. She was very weak now and walked very quickly, but she was still very slow. ¡°Since Vllen has decided to meet Mr. Arel, let¡¯s meet at the usual place in New York tomorrow. As for Mrs. Zuo, she was badly injured by the Russians. I asked the maid to help her bathe and change her clothes. I hope I didn¡¯t offend Mrs. Zuo.¡±Even though Anhao didn¡¯t look behind her, J still spoke. He sounded a little happy. Anhao ignored him and walked straight to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze swept across J¡¯s body, but he did not give him any reply. It was not until Anhao walked up to him that Anhao¡¯s eyes turned slightly red. However, she could not show her fear. The previous dangers had passed, and she was not as scary as before in front of Zuo Hancheng. So, what was there to be afraid of? Zuo Hancheng pulled Anhao into his arms. Anhao staggered as she could feel his anger. When he grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him, Anhao could not help but let out a soft groan because of the excruciating pain on her wrist. Zuo Hancheng let go of her wrist and turned around to look at her face, which was even paler than before due to the pain. He lifted her hand again and pulled her snow-white sleeves open. He saw the bleeding marks on her wrists from the rope. Both her wrists were red. The pain was already unbearable when she was bathing, let alone being held. Anhao could not care less about the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. She always felt at ease when she was beside him. She shook her head and said,¡±¡± I¡¯m fine. It was the Russians who kidnapped me. I should be glad that they kidnapped me. Otherwise, with Zuo Yue¡¯s current condition, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand their torture¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue is not as stupid as you.¡± Zuo Hancheng said coldly, but his tone was still much softer, as if he was afraid of scaring her.¡±In the past two to three years that she followed Xu Chengfeng, she had been through life and death situations from time to time. She knew how to escape when that kind of person approached. Only you would be stupid enough to push her away and let her run first.¡± Zuo Hancheng only said that, but he did not really blame her for being naive this time. She had never come into contact with these people, unlike Zuo Yue who had already come into contact with people in this circle, so she knew how to protect herself. Although Anhao was brave and resourceful, it was useless to deal with such a desperate person. She was taken away by those people when they were fishing in the abandoned building. At least she knew how to talk to those fugitives and how to stall for time and save her life. Zuo Hancheng was relieved that his woman was not so fragile that she would curl up in a corner and wait for death after being kidnapped. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that Vllen, who is almost a woman¡¯s insulation, would one day return here for his wife. Mrs. Zuo, I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the greatest honor of your life to be able to become Vllen¡¯s weakness or Vllen¡¯s disaster.¡± J did not seem to notice the coldness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. He was not the one who caused Mrs. Zuo¡¯s injuries anyway. Although he brought her here to threaten him to meet Mr. Arel, at least he did not hurt her out of respect for Vllen. Based on Vllen¡¯s understanding of him, even if he did not explain, she would know that he would not do anything to Mrs. Zuo. However, Anhao felt extremely uncomfortable hearing these sarcastic words. She looked up in J¡¯s direction and saw that J was smiling triumphantly. ¡°Has the wound on your back split open?¡±Zuo Hancheng did not seem to care about J at all. He ignored J¡¯s words and looked at Anhao¡¯s pale face. He lifted both of her hands at the same time and saw the injury on her wrist. Then, he looked down and saw the same injury on her ankle. ¡°No.¡± Anhao shook her head. Zuo Hancheng obviously did not believe her. If it was just a superficial wound on her hands and feet, her expression would not be so bad. However, now was not the time to be calculative. Anhao did not wait for him to speak again and asked softly,¡±¡±Who is that Mr. Arel? I think I heard that J say that he¡¯s¡­¡± When Anhao mentioned Mr. Arel¡¯s name, she did not know if she was mistaken, but she actually saw a trace of complicated emotions in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. He looked at her face and after a few seconds, he held her hand.¡±These things have nothing to do with you. You don¡¯t have to ask anything. Now that you¡¯ve seen the danger, listen to my arrangements obediently. Don¡¯t think about helping anyone.¡± Anhao did not understand his gaze just now, but everyone here had weapons in their hands. She did not know if the people Zuo Hancheng brought had weapons, but it was obvious that although Zuo Hancheng had come prepared today, he did not intend to go against them. And that J was merely using her to threaten Zuo Hancheng. He did not seem to have any intention of completely falling out with Zuo Hancheng. He only asked Zuo Hancheng to meet Mr. Arel. Even if these people were not outlaws, they were not simple people. Zuo Hancheng was being threatened because of her. If he went to see Mr. Arel, would there be any consequences that she could not predict? Would it endanger his life? She suddenly reached out and tugged at the cuffs of his black shirt.¡±If it¡¯s dangerous to meet that Mr. Arel, can you not meet him?¡± D could hear their conversation from the side. His eyes turned cold, but he did not say anything. He only looked at Zuo Hancheng, waiting for his orders. Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao¡¯s pale face and suddenly pulled her hand away. He said,¡±¡±D, send Madam to the car.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± D walked over to Anhao and said respectfully,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, please get into the car with us first. Leave this to Mr. Zuo.¡± Anhao had just returned to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side. She did not want to leave at all, but she glanced at the cars outside and then at the tense atmosphere. ¡± Mr. Zuo has already agreed to meet Mr. Arel, so J won¡¯t dare to touch him. Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t worry. Follow me to the car. You¡¯re already injured. If this continues, Mr. Zuo will be even more worried about you.¡±D added. Chapter 802 - Chapter 802: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (2) Chapter 802: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (2) Anhao now knew that D was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s most loyal and mysterious bodyguard. She decided not to interfere with the affairs between Zuo Hancheng and these old friends. Since D had guaranteed that J would not attack Zuo Hancheng, they would not suddenly fight even though they were at loggerheads. She nodded and let D bring her out of the villa area and into the black Maybach that Zuo Hancheng had been in. An hour later. It was very quiet in the car. Anhao and Zuo Hancheng, who were sitting in the back row of the car, remained silent. Besides the two of them, there was only one driver in the car. There was a soundproof glass between the front and back, so no matter what they said, the driver could not hear it. It was an atmosphere where they could talk freely, but Anhao didn¡¯t know if it was because she finally felt relieved because she had escaped from those unpredictable dangers. For a moment, she couldn¡¯t lift her spirits. She only felt that such a quiet atmosphere was quite good. At least she and Zuo Hancheng were still alive. At least she did not appear in front of him with missing arms and legs. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was still wearing a black shirt. It was rare for him to look so unkempt, but he had a rare aura of blood and wildness compared to the elite who usually dominated the business world. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were so calm that there was not a single trace of emotion in them. Anhao¡¯s mood had gradually calmed down because of his appearance. Although she had experienced things that she had never dared to imagine in her life in the past few hours, she had also tried her best to digest the past of the former Zuo Hancheng. She had already digested it in advance, so she did not have much emotional fluctuations now. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s silence made Anhao wonder what he was thinking about. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word even after the two of them started their car and slowly left the villa area that she felt was very dangerous. Anhao reached out and placed her hand on his. When he turned to look at her, she asked worriedly,¡±¡±That Mr. Arel¡­Is it very dangerous?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not expect Anhao to be so calm after she was rescued. She did not cry out in pain, nor did she shed tears to tell him about the thrilling events of the past few hours. The only thing she did was worry about who he would meet next and whether it would be dangerous. Even though he had been thinking about how dangerous it was for Anhao to be in danger, he had been thinking about how he had to teach her a lesson after he came back. He wanted to let her know how dangerous it was for her to be under the scrutiny of certain forces in the United States. However, he could see the worry in Anhao¡¯s calm eyes. Zuo Hancheng held her hand but did not answer. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Anhao was silent at first. She didn¡¯t admit or deny the word ¡®fear¡¯. She just turned her head to look out of the car window and asked,¡±Where are we going now?¡± ¡°Go to a private hospital in New York. The injury on your back must be treated immediately.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice turned colder when he mentioned the wound on her back. ¡°Just now in the villa area, the maid that J called over helped me apply medicine. Although I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s effective, at least it¡¯s much better than when it was in the hands of those Russians.¡±Anhao said casually. Zuo Hancheng suddenly held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to completely merge her into his palm. Anhao felt a little pain, but she did not cry out in pain. She just looked at him. Perhaps she had never been so calm in her life. After experiencing a truly thrilling life and death situation, he saw those fresh lives instantly killed by those people¡¯s guns, and those rivers of blood¡­ She felt the strength in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands with her mind clear. His hands were usually warm, but today, she felt that his fingertips were a little cold. He had always been easy-going. No matter where he went, his aura was steady and reassuring. The current him still made her feel at ease, but the current Zuo Hancheng made her feel that he was no longer as transparent as he used to be. In the past, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s love for her and everything else seemed to have no reservations. Speaking of reservations, this was probably the only thing he had kept from her. The people who followed him around, D, T, or other people she didn¡¯t know. Wenner had warned her, but she never thought that he would go so deep. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold side profile.¡±¡±That person named J said that you were once his master.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change when he heard her words. He loosened his grip on her hand and returned it to a level that would not hurt her. He held her small hand and placed it on his lap. He did not seem to have any abnormal reaction to her words. However, what he said next made Anhao¡¯s rational and calm heart waver. ¡°He might also tell you that I was the leader of the Los Angeles branch of the American mafia ten years ago.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng turned to look at Anhao and saw a hint of fear flash across her originally emotionless eyes.¡±¡±How do you feel about getting the most accurate answer from me?¡± Anhao was a little confused, she didn¡¯t say anything, but after a long time, she said: ¡°Will that Mr. Arel threaten your life?¡± She kept pestering him about this question, but Zuo Hancheng did not say a single word about Mr. Arel. He only looked at her persistent questions that were especially concerned about his life. Although he did not answer them directly, he answered them in another way.¡±Although these people treat life as nothing, they don¡¯t treat human life as nothing.¡± ¡°I saw them kill someone.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was flat. When she said this, the hand he held in his palm gradually turned cold. Noticing her unusual behavior, Zuo Hancheng looked at her pale face, which was filled with some inexplicable emotions.¡±¡±At Cross Road Farm?¡± Anhao nodded.¡± The Russians and the Japanese who kidnapped me locked me in the back of the car. I don¡¯t know where they¡¯re taking me. Then, the people J brought are at the crossroad farm you mentioned. It seems like¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m moving some guns and weapons,¡± she said after a moment of hesitation.¡± Hearing this, Zuo Hancheng was not surprised. He gently caressed her cold little hand and asked her directly,¡±¡±They killed those Russians?¡± Anhao nodded.¡± They fired. Those people died on the spot. Blood and¡­¡± His brain matter was all over the ground and almost flowed to my feet¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng furrowed his brows and held her cold hand in his palm. He said in a reassuring tone,¡±¡± Try to think from another angle. If he didn¡¯t die, you would have been taken to an unknown ship by now. Perhaps it would take me longer to find you. At that time, it would be even more difficult to guarantee that you would still be safe and sound like you are now. Perhaps I should be glad that this is the result.¡± Chapter 803 - Chapter 803: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (3) Chapter 803: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (3) Anhao knew that if those people didn¡¯t die, she would be the one to die. She wasn¡¯t afraid. She suddenly leaned her head on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder and asked softly,¡±¡±Do they have a grudge against those Russians?¡± Zuo Hancheng was silent at first. After a moment, he raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, giving her a sense of security. His voice was so calm that it was as if the two of them had not just left the dangerous villa area. It was as if the two of them were on the way back to the Gilt Scenic Garden. He said softly,¡±The Russian mafia and the American mafia do not interfere with each other. However, the group of Russians today is targeting Xu Chengfeng. They are not outlaws from the Russian border, nor do they belong to any organization. They are simply here to take revenge on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s people and ask for what they want. Here, once those outlaws who are dishonest and have no organization to take care of are found, they will definitely be killed.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know there were so many things about the underworld. I thought it would be like those Hong Kong movies I watched when I was young, where people just randomly shoot and kill, and the one who is the strongest is the boss.¡±Anhao leaned on his shoulder and muttered. Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed at her words.¡±¡± You¡¯re talking about street gangsters. The three biggest gangs in the world aren¡¯t as simple as you think. There are rules everywhere. Take the United States as an example. As the godfather of the gangs in the United States, Mr. Arel is equivalent to the leader of the entire gang in the United States. In layman¡¯s terms, it¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that he¡¯s the emperor hiding in the dark.¡± ¡°He is the emperor? Then what are you?¡± Anhao raised her head and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chin. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand gently caressed her shoulder. She had already experienced so much, and there was no need to hide it anymore. ¡± When I was about seventeen or eighteen, I temporarily left Grandpa¡¯s sight and control before I started to get involved in this circle. At that time, although the financial district of Wall Street opened up the business structure I wanted, young people often felt that everything was not enough. Fortunately, I always had the past on Wall Street as a shield. After so many years, no one found out about my past.¡± At this point, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold.¡± As for how Old General Qi knew about it before he threatened you to leave three years ago, I¡¯ve already checked. When J went to City A, he interfered in secret once. Although he only mentioned some of the past and the evidence casually, it was enough to temporarily restrain the few trump cards in my hands at that time.¡± ¡± So, you agreed to let me go abroad even though you knew that I was threatened by Old General Qi, just because J was in City A?¡± Anhao suddenly asked.¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t answer, but patted her shoulder. But the answer was self-evident. At that time, Zuo Hancheng had already been paving the way for her peaceful world and had never allowed her to come into contact with these people. With these words, it seemed that everything that she could not figure out finally had an answer. J could easily investigate all the news about Zuo Hancheng, as well as the news about Zuo Hancheng and Mrs. Zuo. At that time, if Zuo Hancheng was temporarily restrained, it would indeed be the best choice for her. On the surface, he made the people think that they were divorced and had nothing to do with each other. This was clearly his method¡­ This man¡­ The strength of one¡¯s heart often made her feel afraid. How many things did he not tell her? Every time she knew something, she would be so shocked that she could not digest it for a long time. ¡°Is that J your enemy now?¡±Anhao asked. After a long time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was indifferent, and his hidden emotions could not be seen. However, his voice was still clear and calm.¡±The more loyal he was to me in the past, the more he hates me now. However, loyalty has many aspects. At the very least, he has never received my trust.¡± Anhao could tell that J was actually very emotional when he was facing Zuo Hancheng. It was obvious that he hated Zuo Hancheng, but it also seemed to be accompanied by some kind of joy. She couldn¡¯t understand such emotions, and she still couldn¡¯t understand such an answer. Even though Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question, she could guess that since J was Mr. Arel¡¯s most capable subordinate, it was obvious that J had worked hard to please Mr. Arel for so many years. Now that he wanted to make Zuo Hancheng unhappy, it was obvious how many people were affected by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s departure. J had mentioned that Zuo Hancheng was the leader of the Los Angeles branch at that time, which meant that more than half of the underground organizations in the United States had to listen to his orders. This kind of status was self-evident. Anhao realized that she had never had such an in-depth conversation with Zuo Hancheng before. He was usually a man of few words. Usually, he would not say much, or he would choke her to death the moment he opened his mouth. Anyway, every word he said was meant to be used on the edge of the blade, and he would not waste any time. Today, he was obviously trying to calm her emotions and calm down all the doubts in her heart. After saying so much, Anhao leaned her head on his shoulder. She felt that whether it was the unknown Zuo Hancheng from ten years ago or the decision-maker who stood at the top of the business ten years later, he was her Zuo Hancheng, the person she loved. Until the black Maybach and the dozens of cars gradually dispersed. The only car driving in New York City was the one they were in, and the car D was in seemed to be escorting them. The other cars were no longer visible. Anhao knew that those cars had their own destination, so she did not ask too much. She just quietly leaned on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder and enjoyed this moment of peace. She had experienced too many things today. She did not know if she should say that she was hungry or tired. She just wanted to sit beside him and lean on his shoulder. Even if she did not eat, drink, or sleep, she was willing¡­ ¡°I suddenly feel like going home.¡± Anhao said as the car drove to a very secluded private hospital. Zuo Hancheng looked at her, who was so tired that she was leaning on his shoulder, half-asleep but unwilling to fall asleep. He asked in a gentle voice,¡±¡±Gilded Scenic Garden?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Hearing the words ¡± Gilded Scenery Garden ¡°, Anhao missed it immensely.¡±Let¡¯s go back early after we¡¯re done with the matters in the United States.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and caressed her head. He whispered in her ear,¡±¡±Alright.¡± Anhao closed her eyes in satisfaction and rubbed her head against his shoulder. Suddenly, her stomach growled. She opened her eyes in frustration and saw Zuo Hancheng smiling helplessly at her. ¡°I wanted to say that I wasn¡¯t hungry, but my stomach didn¡¯t live up to expectations.¡±Anhao defended herself. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital and get the wound on my back treated again before we go eat,¡± Zuo Hancheng said with a smile.¡± Anhao looked outside and saw the small building of a private hospital that was hidden but looked very luxurious. When Zuo Hancheng opened the car door, she followed him out. Chapter 804 - Chapter 804: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (4) Chapter 804: Only by His Side Can I Be at ease (4) The injury on Anhao¡¯s back had been professionally treated by the doctors in this private hospital. When she was sent to the ward, she felt that the pain on her back was no longer as unbearable. On the contrary, it was only the pain of some medicine on the wound. It was not as painful as before, which almost made her feel hopeless. When she returned to the ward, she saw that D had already sent over a large pile of food. Anhao was very surprised. She walked over when she saw the food and opened it to find that it was all her favorite food, but almost all of them were bland. There was not a single one like her favorite seafood. She was injured, so she could not eat spicy seafood and other things. Apart from the food that she had to avoid when she was recuperating, she could still buy so much food that suited her appetite. It was obvious how well Zuo Hancheng knew her preferences. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat? Left¡­¡± Anhao felt a sense of security in her heart when she saw the food. She lifted her head to look at D who was standing in the ward in a good mood. When she saw D¡¯s cold face, she paused for a moment. She did not know what name she should call Zuo Hancheng in front of him, so she changed her tone to a more relaxed one.¡±I mean, where is he?¡± ¡± Mr. Zuo is outside. He will be here soon. We will buy everything personally. It¡¯s absolutely safe. Madam, don¡¯t worry.¡±¡± D thought that Anhao was too embarrassed to eat because there were outsiders in the ward, so he turned around and walked out. Anhao wanted to stop him and ask him if he wanted to eat some too, but D walked away very quickly. Anhao looked at D¡¯s back and recalled the time when he and a few others appeared in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ward after the huge car accident caused by the Qi family. At that time, D looked at her with a cold and guarded gaze. Although D was still cold to her, his attitude seemed to have improved a lot. It was obvious that he had already treated her as one of his own. She walked to the window and looked out. She could see that the car she had taken before was still downstairs. The hospital was not very big, but it was well-equipped. When she came in, she did not see any other patients. It was obvious that it was not open to the public normally. Although there weren¡¯t many doctors and nurses inside, they didn¡¯t ask anything. They had the quality of keeping their mouths shut, but all the medical staff were very professional. There were only three floors in the hospital. Standing on the third floor, she could only see the car but not Zuo Hancheng. Anhao turned back to the bed and took a sip of the soup. She did not expect the soup to smell like Chinese medicine. To be able to buy a medicinal diet with Chinese medicine in a place like New York, it could be seen how serious and hardworking D was when he went out to buy food¡­ The warm soup slid into Anhao¡¯s stomach. Anhao¡¯s stomach, which had been hurting from vomiting, felt much better. She could not help but take another sip. As she drank, she looked out from time to time, wondering when Zuo Hancheng would come back. Just as she was feeling so hungry that she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, she opened the other lunch boxes and took out some food to eat. Then, she heard someone whispering outside. It seemed like the people with D were reporting something to someone. She did not hear the content clearly, but her tone was a little serious. As she listened, she turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng walking into the ward. He was still wearing the same black shirt and did not look like he had left the hospital. However, it was hard to tell from his expression. Anhao did not know what the person outside had reported to Zuo Hancheng, but he did not bring any unnecessary emotions into the ward. ¡°How does it taste? D specially went to the only restaurant in New York that specializes in making the most authentic Chinese medicinal cuisine and bought it for you.¡±Zuo Hancheng walked in and closed the door behind him. Anhao¡¯s tongue was scalded when she was drinking the soup. Now, she felt a little numb on the tip of her tongue, so she stuck out her tongue twice to relieve the feeling. Zuo Hancheng saw her actions and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Does it taste bad?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao quickly waved her hands.¡± Anhao pointed at the food and said,¡±¡±D bought a lot. I can¡¯t finish them all by myself.¡± It was rare for Zuo Hancheng to not reject her. Usually, he would let her eat these things alone and would not snatch them from her. Today, he walked over and sat beside her after she had finished speaking. He picked up the disposable cutlery from the bag and ate some with her. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression from time to time as she ate. Seeing that his expression was calm and unperturbed, she still asked worriedly,¡±¡±Are you going to see Mr. Arel tomorrow?¡± When Zuo Hancheng ate, she always felt as if she was admiring the scenery. He looked very beautiful when he ate. Of course, it wasn¡¯t that kind of pose. Instead, it was as if he was born calm and composed. Even if he was holding an ordinary disposable tableware in his hand, he could feel a unique temperament in every move he made. Moreover, he did not eat slowly, but he did not wolf down his food without any image. In short, it was very good-looking. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had been eating quietly, as if he had no intention of answering Anhao¡¯s question. Ann was almost done eating. She put down the cutlery and looked at his face. ¡°I¡¯ll arrange a safe place for you to stay tonight. This hospital isn¡¯t safe.¡±After Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, he continued to drink the soup elegantly. He seemed to be quite satisfied with the taste of the Chinese medicinal cuisine in New York City. ¡°I¡¯m not going. I won¡¯t deliberately stay by your side and cause you trouble. I know that I can¡¯t interfere in these matters, but Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t just leave me in some so-called safe place. Where are you going? I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡±Anhao¡¯s attitude was very firm. Zuo Hancheng put down the cutlery and looked at her calmly. He was supposed to warn her not to mess around, but he saw the determination in Anhao¡¯s eyes. ¡°I know that Mr. Arel is definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have been forced to meet him.¡±¡±I won¡¯t disturb you. I¡¯ll wait for you outside, okay?¡± Anhao said softly.¡± ¡°Anhao¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng was about to speak when Anhao suddenly interrupted him.¡±¡±Whether we¡¯ve been through a building explosion or a car accident together in the past, I¡¯ve never felt that death was so close to us. Remember, I might already be pregnant with your child. If anything happens to you, if you dare to die, I¡¯ll marry your child to another man and let your child call him father. Also, I¡¯ll point at the black and white photo on your grave and let the child call you uncle.¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. Chapter 805 - Chapter 805: Courage Born Because of You (1) Chapter 805: Courage Born Because of You (1) Anhao looked at him coldly. She saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was obviously complicated because of her words. She knew that he would not allow such nonsense to happen. Perhaps only a scoundrel could deal with a man like him. ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re not cute at all when you¡¯re like this¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed. ¡°What¡¯s the use of being cute? Cute won¡¯t give me a husband.¡±Anhao rolled her eyes. When Zuo Hancheng was silent, Anhao suddenly said,¡±¡±By the way, when I got out of the car, J asked those people to take a photo of me with their phones. He said that he wanted them to show the photo to Mr. Arel. Why is that?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm gaze suddenly turned cold because of her words.¡±¡±He took a photo of you?¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm expression, which was enough for her to confirm that there was definitely something going on, Anhao said even more firmly,¡±¡±He also said that I look like a person.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He just looked at Anhao¡¯s face and was speechless for a long time. Anhao was sure that the person she was looking at was definitely related to Mr. Arel, or that Zuo Hancheng knew something. ¡°Can I go with you?¡±Anhao continued to ask. Zuo Hancheng still did not answer. Anhao suddenly stood up and walked over to him. Suddenly, she sat on his lap. When he looked at her at such a close distance, she raised her hand to cup his face and stared into his dark eyes.¡±Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t forget that you promised to accompany me back to the An family to win the war. You still promised me that I would never let me find you.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her helplessly.¡±¡±I did promise you, but this is not the same thing. Anhao, you¡¯ve learned to be despicable. This is moral kidnapping.¡± ¡°I¡¯m doing a moral kidnapping.¡± Anhao raised her hand and held his face tightly again until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s perfect face was almost deformed by her squeezing. She saw the helpless smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and stared into his eyes.¡±If I can¡¯t find you before I return to the Andersons, what¡¯s the point of kidnapping you then? Anyway, Zuo Hancheng, you have to promise that nothing will happen to you. Otherwise, I will hate you for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t marry someone else with your child. If I really have your child, I¡¯ll definitely let the child call someone else daddy. I mean it!¡± After Zuo Hancheng looked at her for a moment, she heard him whisper into her ear,¡±¡±Ruthless enough.¡± Anhao, on the other hand, smiled widely at the mention of his name. She knew how principled Zuo Hancheng was and how difficult it was to reverse his original decision and violate his principles. However, these two words meant that he had given in. Just as his hand subconsciously caressed her stomach, wanting to confirm if she could really get pregnant in just a few days, Anhao suddenly held his face and took the initiative to kiss him. When her lips took the initiative to kiss him, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. He locked his legs and did not give her a chance to retreat. Instead, he took the initiative to kiss her deeply. After the two of them kissed for a long time, Anhao¡¯s originally pale lips had become much redder, and her cheeks were also flushed. She was sure that if it was not for the injury on her back that could not withstand more torture, Zuo Hancheng would definitely have her right here, regardless of whether she would take the risk tomorrow. His fingers caressed the back of her waist, causing her to tremble. Anhao buried her face in his neck and whispered,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know how to calculate my safety period, and I don¡¯t remember if the previous few days were my safety period¡­¡± She felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand tighten around her waist. ¡°Although it has only been a few days, you might not feel it now. Perhaps in half a month or a month, you will find that there is a baby in your stomach. No matter what, whether you are pregnant or not, you can¡¯t take risks alone¡­¡± As she spoke, she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.[I, Zuo Hancheng, believe that you are not willing to touch these past troubles, nor are you willing to let me touch these, but these people keep looking for you, and all of this will happen sooner or later. Before this, you kept telling me to be careful, and I didn¡¯t expect this to happen. This can be considered as me implicating you again. It has come to this point, and I can¡¯t really go to a safe place to secretly enjoy myself.]¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know who my father is. My mother chose to fake her death in order to abandon me. I only have you in this world. If anything happens to you, I¡¯d rather die with you than suffer alone. Even if something really happens, at least I¡¯ll be by your side. You always protect me behind you. Even if my ability will never surpass yours, at least this grudge that spanned ten years¡­ Let me accompany the you from ten years ago to face those things together, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly laughed softly. Anhao did not understand what he was laughing about. When she lifted her head from the crook of his neck, he suddenly held the back of her head. His kiss was very light and gentle on her lips, and then he kissed her up to the tip of her nose. Finally, he kissed her gently between her eyebrows. The next day. Zuo Hancheng was sitting in the black Maybach. The car was parked in a parking lot one kilometer away from a hidden European-style manor. The people who came and went would not be able to see anything unusual in the parking lot, but from here, they could clearly see Mr. Arel¡¯s hidden European-style manor. The manor was very big, with European-style buildings everywhere. There were so many expensive 17th or 18th-century buildings comparable to the Zuo family¡¯s. However, this place was more mysterious. Moreover, the area behind it was vast. In the eyes of those who did not know the truth, the owner of this manor enjoyed life and treated the entire mountain behind it as a backyard. However, in reality, the mountain behind them was definitely a different world. If any disaster happened, it would definitely be the best place to escape. However, Anhao¡¯s attention was not on the manor. These were just her first thoughts when she sat there and looked in that direction. Her gaze was fixed on the door in the middle of the manor. Zuo Hancheng had entered through that door two hours ago. He had been inside for so long, but there had been no movement. D, outside the car, accompanying her, waiting together, Zuo Hancheng, although he allowed her to come along, also allowed her to come outside, etc., allowed this car¡¯s structure, she, inside, already asked, D, confirmed, this car¡¯s body and glass have been specially modified, every corner has bulletproof function, ordinary bullets can¡¯t break the car¡¯s glass, even the tires have been modified, bullets can¡¯t easily break the tires. Anhao was still staring in the direction of the manor. It had been more than two hours, but there was still no movement¡­ Chapter 806 - Chapter 806: Courage Born Because of You (2) Chapter 806: Courage Born Because of You (2) Suddenly, gunshots rang out in the manor. The gunshots continued, and the silence was instantly broken. Anhao clenched her fists in the car, opened the car door and got out. D turned around and looked at her.¡±Mrs. Zuo, it¡¯s safer in the car. Please sit in the car.¡± ¡°Could something have happened inside?¡±Anhao looked in the direction of the manor and asked worriedly. D also looked in the direction of the manor. After a moment of silence, he turned to Anhao and said,¡±¡±Please get in the car first. No matter what happens, Mr. Zuo has ordered that you are not allowed to be in any danger. Please get in the car, Mrs. Zuo.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t want to cause them any trouble. She hesitated for a moment, unsure if she could be of any help even if she went to the manor. This was a field that she had never come into contact with before. All she could do was trust Zuo Hancheng and wait for him in the car. She didn¡¯t want to cause any trouble for D and Zuo Hancheng. She turned around, turned on the car, turned on the outside, helped her, turned on the car door, turned on the outside, looked out through the car window, and saw that D had been guarding by the car. Obviously, his only mission today was to protect himself. She knew that no matter what, Zuo Hancheng would be the only one to enter the manor today. However, she still did not want the people around Zuo Hancheng to be here just to protect her. She did not know what was going on inside. If Zuo Hancheng was alone, the danger level would only be higher. She glanced at the car keys that had not been removed from the driver¡¯s seat. After rolling down the window, she said,¡±If you¡¯re worried, go and take a look. You don¡¯t have to stay here with me. If there really is an emergency, I¡¯ll think of a way to leave to avoid causing trouble for you.¡± D hesitated for a moment. He was obviously worried about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s condition. He glanced at Anhao and then at the car keys.¡±But Mrs. Zuo, you don¡¯t seem to know how to drive.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes paused for a moment, then her lips twitched with a calm expression. She turned to look at the steering wheel in front of the driver¡¯s seat. The gunshots in the manor intensified, and the car windows had been closed again. Anhao¡¯s worry was already on the verge of erupting. She saw that the other people in the surrounding cars had already gotten out of their cars and rushed towards the manor. These people did not expect such an unexpected situation. Even if Zuo Hancheng had a divine plan, he was still in the manor. No matter what, he was still a mortal. It was impossible for him to retreat alone in such a dangerous situation. However, D still insisted on staying by the car. Anhao didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for him, even though she knew that he wanted to rush into the manor more than anyone else. Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the manor. Anhao felt a chill down her spine and suddenly raised her eyes to look in the direction of the manor. Flames soared into the sky! Zuo Hancheng had promised her that nothing would happen to him. She closed her eyes and broke out in a cold sweat because of the anxiety and forbearance in her heart. She suddenly saw D¡¯s figure flash away from the side of the car. She looked in the direction of the fire in the manor and saw Zuo Hancheng quickly retreating from the sea of fire. When he came out, there were already people who rushed to the manor to support him. Anhao saw that D had also rushed over. After confirming that the most dangerous place was behind Zuo Hancheng and not her, she quickly got out of the car and rushed over. She saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s black shirt was covered in blood. It was impossible to tell where he was injured and how much blood he had lost. Anhao could only rush forward and raise her hand to help him. However, as soon as her hand touched his shoulder, she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s already pale and blood-stained face turn pale. She looked down at his wet shirt and knew that his shoulder must be injured, so she placed her hand on his arm.¡±Where are you injured? Are your injuries serious?¡± ¡°Madam, help Mr. Zuo into the car and leave this place immediately. We¡¯ll cover the rear!¡±D suddenly said coldly from the side. At the same time, the people who were originally supporting Zuo Hancheng immediately let go of their hands and let Anhao take Zuo Hancheng away alone. Anhao suddenly turned around and looked at them. What about you guys?¡± ¡± Madam, don¡¯t worry. Mr. Arel is not going to blow up his entire manor. The situation here is somewhat different from what we initially thought. The explosion might not have much to do with Mr. Arel himself. Mr. Zuo is seriously injured and was affected by the airflow of the explosion. We have to leave this place immediately. Mrs. Zuo, I¡¯ll leave it to you!¡±After D finished speaking, he led the group of people and rushed into the manor that had just exploded. Seeing that they had barged in, Anhao furrowed her brows. Suddenly, she heard a deep breath beside her. She turned around and looked at Zuo Hancheng. His face was pale and he could no longer stand steadily. However, it was obvious that he did not intend to let D and the others take the risk. However, he did not have the strength to turn back anymore. Almost half of his weight was already on Anhao¡¯s body. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the car!¡± After experiencing two days of life and death, Anhao knew that time could not be delayed. She supported him with one hand and held his waist with the other to stabilize his staggering body. Zuo Hancheng had never been like this before. It was hard to tell how badly he was injured. Anhao¡¯s eyes were red, but she did not dare to cry. She instinctively supported him as they walked towards the parking lot. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s panting was beside her ears. The more Anhao listened to him, the more afraid she became. She was afraid that he was too badly injured to be treated, afraid that he would not be able to live, afraid that he would die in front of her. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you promised me that you would be fine, but you were still injured! Go back on one¡¯s word! What kind of man are you!¡± She gritted her teeth as she spoke with red eyes. At the same time, she helped him to the car and pushed him in. Zuo Hancheng had just been pushed into the car. When he sat in the front passenger seat, he frowned and opened his eyes to look at her.¡±Hurry up and leave¡­Leave immediately before anyone notices you!¡± Anhao suddenly pulled open the collar of his shirt. The exquisite and expensive buttons of his shirt were instantly torn off by her strength and fell under the car seat one by one. When she saw the gunshot wound on his shoulder and the more serious wounds on his body from the explosion, Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned pale. ¡°Anhao, let¡¯s go¡­¡± Although Zuo Hancheng was weak, he tried his best to keep his voice calm so as not to scare her, but it was inevitable that he was still panting unusually because of his injuries. Anhao was afraid. She was indeed very afraid. In her twenty-three years of life, she had never experienced something like this. This was the kind of explosion and shooting scene that could only be seen in Hollywood blockbusters. This was the kind of scene where there was a dangerous fire behind her and the sound of horns around her. However, she slammed the car door shut without a word, cutting off Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. She quickly ran around the car to the other side, opened the door to the driver¡¯s seat, and sat straight in it. At the same time, she quickly started the engine. Chapter 807 - Chapter 807: Zuo Hancheng, Wake Up (1) Chapter 807: Zuo Hancheng, Wake Up (1) Zuo Hancheng covered his abdomen with his hand. At this moment, other than his heavy breathing and his pale and blood-stained face, he could not pull the woman who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat and going crazy. ¡°Anhao!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know how to drive. Don¡¯t do anything rash!¡± Zuo Hancheng called out to her.¡± Anhao noticed that he was covering his abdomen with his hand. He probably had injuries on his abdomen as well, apart from the gunshot wound on his shoulder. She didn¡¯t say anything and just pursed her lips tightly as she drove out of the parking lot. Although she wasn¡¯t driving very steadily, at least all the equipment in this high-end Maybach had automatic functions. At least she could still drive and recognize the direction. ¡°I¡¯m just traumatized by the incident where I hit Qi Weiran with my car back then. After so many years, it¡¯s not like I really don¡¯t know how to drive. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t taken the driver¡¯s license test and haven¡¯t been able to overcome the difficulties in my heart to touch the steering wheel.¡±Anhao was unusually calm at this moment. Her hands were stained with his blood, and it had stained the steering wheel. The smell of blood was thick in the car. She glanced at the speed displayed on the dial and looked at the road ahead.¡±Which direction is the safest?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a voice behind her. She looked up through the rearview mirror and saw a few cars rushing out of the manor and chasing after the car at a terrifying speed. She immediately stepped on the accelerator, wanting to shake them off. Zuo Hancheng also looked at the cars that were chasing after him in the rearview mirror. Ever since he was sent into this car, Anhao had already been discovered. It was unrealistic for her to leave alone again. Seeing how she was stepping on the accelerator, he frowned and suddenly looked in the direction of the backseat.¡±Give me the computer.¡± With one hand on the steering wheel, Anhao reached behind the seat with her other hand to pick up the laptop in the car and handed it to him. At the same time, she realized that the cars were getting closer. She suddenly turned the steering wheel and drove towards the narrower road. At the very least, if the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, those cars would not be able to catch up at the same time. Zuo Hancheng did not tell her which direction they were going. He placed the laptop on his lap and raised his other hand with great effort. However, the action of raising his hand to turn on the laptop seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Anhao didn¡¯t have the heart to pay attention to his every move. She only drove the car as fast as she could instinctively. She didn¡¯t even dare to look at the speed on the dashboard, afraid that the speed of nearly 200 would make her heart beat so fast that she suddenly braked. If he slowed down, Zuo Hancheng would definitely die! He was injured and could not fight those people at all! Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car chasing behind her. She looked through the rearview mirror, but she could not see clearly. ¡°It¡¯s D. They¡¯re here to intercept the car. Don¡¯t worry about them.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was typing something on the laptop keyboard. Anhao did not look at it, but she could hear the sound of tapping on the keyboard. Then, she heard a few beeps from the computer. Zuo Hancheng then pushed the computer aside. ¡°Continue forward.¡± He said,¡± I¡¯ve already sent out a signal to order people to set up checkpoints around the mountain road ahead. As long as we charge through that mountain road, they won¡¯t be able to chase us smoothly.¡± Hearing this, Anhao¡¯s originally aimless escape suddenly became a goal. She stepped hard on the accelerator, her eyes fixed on the front, and her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly. Zuo Hancheng sat quietly in the front passenger seat. He looked at Anhao, who dared to touch the steering wheel because of him and drove so fast because of her instinct to escape. He looked at her pale face and her pale fingers that were tightly clenched on the steering wheel. He smiled. Anhao did not look at Zuo Hancheng. She only felt that he had suddenly become very quiet. She was not very good at driving and had been forced to drive to a certain extent. Therefore, she could only keep her eyes fixed on the road ahead and did not dare to slack off. However, she still looked ahead and asked,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t be so quiet. Talk to me¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not respond. Anhao panicked.¡± Zuo Hancheng, if you dare to die, I¡¯ll expose your corpse in the wilderness!¡± I¡¯ll throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves!¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly let out a low and hoarse laugh. At the same time, he coughed because of his laughter and said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±Focus on driving. I guarantee that I won¡¯t die.¡± Hearing his reply, Anhao¡¯s eyes turned hot, but she still kept her foot on the accelerator.¡±¡±If you dare to die, I will do anything! I definitely won¡¯t die with you! I will take your assets, your company, and everything you have back to China. I will remarry without hesitation. In any case, everything you have will belong to someone else in the future! Also, I said yesterday that if I have a child¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed as he interrupted her incoherent words.¡±¡±If you have the ability, then really give me one.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t even have the mood to be angry with him. She could only look at the rearview mirror as she drove. She saw that those cars had been breaking through D¡¯s blockade and were trying to surround them. There was the sound of bullets scraping through the glass outside the car. The car¡¯s bulletproof effect was so good that several bullets hit the car, but they only made a few muffled sounds. The most serious one only left a scratch on the driver¡¯s side of the window. She finally understood why Zuo Hancheng had asked D to stay by the car with her. He had planned that if there was any unexpected danger, D could drive her away immediately. At least she would not be in any danger. The black Maybach whizzed past on the road, and the sound of the gunshot was getting farther and farther away. Anhao drove the car in the direction of the mountain road that Zuo Hancheng had mentioned. Indeed, she saw a few cars blocking the road ahead. Anhao was shocked, but those people did not stop them. It was only when the car she was driving successfully passed through the intersection of the mountain road that Anhao heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that Zuo Hancheng had not spoken for a long time. She barely managed to turn her head to look at him, only to see that Zuo Hancheng had already closed his eyes. Blood was flowing out from his shoulders and abdomen. The dark gray leather chair he was sitting on was stained with blood, and blood was dripping down the edge of the leather chair. ¡°Zuo Hancheng! Wake up!¡± Anhao was anxious. She continued to drive as she shouted his name,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng! You¡¯re not allowed to sleep! Wake up!¡± From the corner of her eye, she saw that he had been sitting there quietly without moving, but his fingers on the left side of his body moved slightly, as if he was responding to her, but blood slowly dripped down his fingers. Anhao was even more worried when she saw his actions. They were driving towards the mountain road and there was no hospital here. Zuo Hancheng was obviously not going to be able to hold on any longer. He had lost so much blood. If this continued, even if she could magically escape from the pursuit of those people in this car, he would still die! Chapter 808 - Chapter 808: Zuo Hancheng, Wake Up (2) Chapter 808: Zuo Hancheng, Wake Up (2) The black Maybach was traveling at a crazy speed near a farm at the foot of the mountain. She was not sure about the situation behind her, but she could still feel the bullets coming from the car. Although Zuo Hancheng had sent people to intercept them, the people who came to kill Zuo Hancheng were not easy to deal with. They were not completely intercepted. There were still two cars chasing after them. However, because they had been intercepted before, the distance between them had been greatly increased. The guns that were fired in this direction could only brush past the window and could no longer be completely aimed. As they were still being pursued, Anhao could not stop the car near the farm to find someone to save Zuo Hancheng. She glanced at the car they were driving and then looked at the Maybach she was driving. The two of them were driving a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz sports car. The car¡¯s chassis was not high, and the sound of the car scraping the ground was heard as it sped. The Maybach had a very high chassis. As it was moving smoothly, she suddenly chose the most rugged mountain road in front of her. She could only use this method to completely leave them behind. Anhao had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. She suddenly changed gears quickly, and the ear-piercing sound of tires scraping across the ground sounded. Her eyes were fixed on the rugged mountain road in front of her, and the black Maybach rushed into it at a crazy speed. The sound of bullets could still be heard behind him, but they could no longer hit the car and had been thrown far away. Zuo Hancheng did not make a sound. The rugged mountain road became steeper as she walked deeper. Every time she thought that there was no road ahead, she would always find an even more rugged path to drive through. The sound of the car and bullets behind her gradually faded away. After driving for more than an hour, Anhao heard the alarm in the car and realized that although those people did not break the car, they seemed to have broken the fuel tank. Although the protective facilities on the fuel tank were also very good, there was still some leakage. Now, the gasoline would not last long. Even if those people had been shaken off, this car was considered the most eye-catching behemoth in the mountains. If they continued to stay in the car, they would be found very quickly. Anhao suddenly parked her car that was gradually running out of gas in the dense forest ahead. Even though they were in the deep mountains where they did not know if there would be any unexpected dangers, this unknown danger was at least much safer than the people behind them who were holding guns to kill them. As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. He was still bleeding, and his lips were as pale as his face. His usually handsome and gentle face was now extremely quiet and pale. ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Anhao reached out and gently touched his arm.¡±¡±The car is out of gas. We have to get out of the car and find a place to hide.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s knuckles were already stained red with blood. However, when Anhao stepped forward and placed her hand on his face, he suddenly opened his eyes. His dark eyes were still cold and boundless. When Anhao heaved a sigh of relief, his cold and sharp gaze fell on her face. ¡°You scared me to death. I thought you fell asleep.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t dare to say anything more, and she only placed her hand carefully on his arm.¡±¡±Can you walk? I¡¯ll help you out of the car.¡± He did not know how much blood Zuo Hancheng had lost, but he looked very weak. Perhaps he was indeed in a temporary coma, or perhaps he was just recuperating. At this moment, he looked at the back of the car through the rearview mirror. His calm gaze was a little cold and murderous. At the same time, he raised his hand and placed it on the wound on his abdomen.¡±The car ran out of gas?¡± ¡°Yes, it should be the problem with the fuel tank.¡±¡± I¡¯m not sure.¡± Anhao held him up.¡± Their car¡¯s undercarriage is very low. They shouldn¡¯t be able to catch up in a short period of time, but if we delay any longer, it¡¯ll be hard to guarantee.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao¡¯s pale face. It was not that he did not remember that her back was also injured and the stitches had not been removed. ¡°How are you?¡± he asked softly. Anhao shook her head, but her eyes were red and she didn¡¯t answer. She used both hands to help him up.¡±Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s get off first.¡± He knew that she was enduring the pain in her back as she drove away. He also knew how painful it would be for her to support her back with all her strength. However, under such circumstances, Zuo Hancheng could not let Anhao leave alone in the deep mountains and wild forests. He could only cooperate with her movements and be helped out of the car. As soon as he stood beside the car, he suddenly fell down. Anhao quickly held him up, using one hand to pull him back, and the other hand to hug his waist tightly.¡±¡±Be careful!¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the surrounding environment and wondered how Anhao, who had never experienced such wilderness survival, had the courage to drive into such a deep mountain forest. However, this was indeed the best escape route. ¡°Do you have any first aid boxes or clothes in the car? Your injuries are too serious. You can¡¯t go on like this.¡±Just as Anhao was about to help Zuo Hancheng leave, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the car behind her. ¡°Under the second row of leather chairs, there are two guns hidden in a secret compartment for self-defense and a button. That button must be covered with something to prevent them from finding it when they chase after us.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were cold, and his voice sounded a little weak. Anhao hesitated for a moment before he said coldly,¡±¡±That is the automatic detonation system of the car. If they find the detonation system, they will simply detonate the car when they can¡¯t find us.¡± Anhao turned back to look at the car. She found a tree and leaned him against it. Then, she turned around and ran back to the car. She opened the door and got in. She found a secret compartment under the second row. After opening it with the car key, she found that there was really a gun hidden inside, as well as the button that Zuo Hancheng had mentioned. After taking out the gun, she locked the secret compartment. In order not to let anyone find the thing under the second row of seats, she suddenly turned around and found a big stone on the ground. She used all her strength to lift the stone and smash it on the front glass, creating a trace that the car had been destroyed by someone else. The bulletproof glass did not shatter, and there were no other marks on the car except for some dents. She raised a few more rocks and smashed them on the car. At the same time, she turned the leather chair inside the car over at an extremely fast speed, creating traces that someone had already turned it over. Finally, he ran to the back and opened the trunk to see if there was any emergency equipment or first aid kit. Zuo Hancheng leaned against the tree and looked at Anhao, who was still bleeding on her back but was still searching for something with incredible willpower and courage. He looked at Anhao, who had been dragged into this abyss by him, and his eyes were dark. Chapter 809 - Chapter 809: Zuo Hancheng, Don’t Sleep (1) Chapter 809: Zuo Hancheng, Don¡¯t Sleep (1) All of a sudden, Anhao stepped on something slippery. The next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle. She endured the strange pain and took out a spare blanket and a mini first aid kit from the trunk. Anhao¡¯s ankle was aching and itchy, but the faint rumbling sounds coming from behind her made her not dare to stay any longer. After closing the trunk, she lifted her foot and kicked it a few more times. Unfortunately, the strength of her kick was far from the effect of the stone, but it was too late. She quickly carried the things in her hands and walked to Zuo Hancheng. She raised her hand and grabbed his arm.¡±Let¡¯s go!¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao¡¯s face and then at the thing in her hand.¡±¡±Ann¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense and don¡¯t chase me away.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t give him a chance to speak and supported him. After Zuo Hancheng left the tree trunk behind him, he could not walk alone because he was too seriously injured. His weight was almost on her body. Although he knew what the consequences would be, and Anhao knew it herself, she held his hand tightly and did not let him move away. She helped him through the tall grass that could not see the ground clearly and walked forward carefully. As she walked, she turned her head back to check if there were any obvious traces of blood. If there were any obvious traces of blood, she would reach behind her to wipe them. Just like that, they walked for an unknown amount of time until they were completely exhausted. Anhao looked at the tall forest in front of them. However, she heard a rumbling sound behind her. Those cars must have already driven in. At the same time, there was a clap of thunder in the sky. Anhao subconsciously glanced at Zuo Hancheng. Both of them were already injured. If Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wound was drenched in the rain, both of them would probably die. Anhao quickly helped him turn around and walked to the foot of a deep concave mountain in front of them. There were a lot of bushes here, so if they didn¡¯t walk in like this, they wouldn¡¯t have noticed the deep concave at the foot of the mountain. In the deep depression, there was a place that was slanted to the foot of the mountain, which could only accommodate two or three people, but it was just enough to shelter them from the rain. The rain came fast and fast, and the wind was blowing. Zuo Hancheng could barely move anymore. Anhao had to drag her to the bottom of the valley. Then, she hurriedly tidied up the grass that they had walked through before someone found the traces. Although the rain was sudden and made people feel unlucky, if the rain was heavier, if those people found the button to explode the car, the whole mountain would not be burned down even if the car exploded in the heavy rain. At least, they would be able to keep their lives. Anhao helped Zuo Hancheng to sit properly in the room. The blood stains on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body had already dyed her white dress red. She placed the things in her hands at the innermost position and tidied the grass in front of the dent to block the rain that was blown in by the wind. The room was very clean now. Anhao was about to reach out to take off Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes to check on his injuries when she suddenly felt inexplicably dizzy. She fell forward weakly and knelt beside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s leg. She placed her hand on his leg and Zuo Hancheng, who was about to lose consciousness, opened his eyes and looked at her because of her strange behavior. Anhao tried her best to ignore the dizziness in her head. She moved her hand away from his leg and raised her hand. However, she felt her fingers inexplicably numb. She rubbed her fingers twice and saw that Zuo Hancheng was looking at her. She pretended that nothing was wrong and unbuttoned his blood-stained black shirt. When she saw the wounds on his shoulder and the explosion, Anhao¡¯s gaze fell again. When she saw the wound on his abdomen that was almost close to his waist, Anhao could almost imagine how Zuo Hancheng had avoided this fatal gunshot wound. He must have spun his body to dodge the bullet. Otherwise, the bullet wouldn¡¯t have cut half of his abdomen, and the wound was so deep. ¡°Should I be glad that this bullet didn¡¯t directly pierce through your abdomen? Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll be a widow from now on.¡±Anhao muttered to herself before turning around to open the first aid kit. Although the box was small, it was a small first aid kit with everything inside. There were even compressed biscuits in the corner. Now Anhao was sure that D and the others had been through life and death in the underworld for many years. They were definitely experienced. Not only was there a gun in the car prepared for her, but there was also a first aid kit with small compressed biscuits. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she had experienced many life and death situations, she would never have prepared these things in the car. Anhao took out two disinfectant wet towels from the box and wiped the skin around Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wound. Zuo Hancheng sat still as if he could not feel any pain. He just looked at her weakly with his eyes open. He did not speak or close his eyes to rest. Anhao wished that Zuo Hancheng could stay awake, so she deliberately applied more force to his hand. If it was painful, at least he could keep his mind active. Under such circumstances, it would be terrible if Zuo Hancheng fell asleep. ¡°The wound on your shoulder is also a gunshot wound?¡± Anhao raised her head to look at his shoulder, only to realize that the bullet hadn¡¯t pierced through.¡±¡±Is there a bullet inside?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. She did not know if he had lost all his strength, but he continued to stare at her. Anhao actually realized that he actually felt like he was taking a second look at her. Anger instantly rose in her heart. She used more and more force as she wiped the wound on his shoulder until he finally frowned from the pain. She then said with red eyes,¡±Zuo Hancheng, if you¡¯re planning to let me live on, I¡¯ll run out now and lure those people in. At most, we¡¯ll all die!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face turned pale from the force of her pressure. His eyes swept across her face, and it was clear that his understanding of her ruthlessness had been refreshed again and again. Anhao didn¡¯t care about him. She rubbed his shoulder with her hand and checked the wound carefully before saying,¡±¡±I haven¡¯t studied medicine, so I can¡¯t just randomly take out the bullet. Although there are scissors in the first aid kit, if I cut open the wound, it will probably cause a more serious outcome. I¡¯ll disinfect your wound first.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. Instead, he said in a very soft and hoarse voice,¡±¡±Take care of the injury on your back first.¡± Chapter 810 - Chapter 810: Zuo Hancheng, Don’t Sleep (2) Chapter 810: Zuo Hancheng, Don¡¯t Sleep (2) At this moment, he was only concerned about her and did not take his injuries seriously at all. Anhao held back her anger and almost threw the blood-stained wet towel in her hand at his face. She suppressed the anxiety and anger in her heart and took out disinfectant and bandages from the first aid kit.¡±I¡¯ll disinfect your wound first. It¡¯ll hurt. Bear with it. If you really can¡¯t¡­¡± She turned around and rummaged through the first aid kit. Suddenly, she took out a compressed biscuit from inside and opened it before bringing it to his mouth.¡±Bite on this first. The compressed biscuit is especially hard. If you bite it into pieces, just eat it.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her biscuit with a look of disdain. Anhao immediately glared at him. These biscuits were also prepared by your people in the car! Bite it, hurry up!¡± Zuo Hancheng was reprimanded by Anhao, but he did not bite her in the end. He only signaled to her that she could disinfect it and that there was no need to bite anything. That day, when Anhao¡¯s anesthesia had worn off, the doctor disinfected her back and it hurt so much that she almost died. That kind of pain was enough to make her want to cry for her parents, not to mention Zuo Hancheng¡¯s serious injuries and the harsh environment. However, Zuo Hancheng insisted on not biting the biscuit, so Anhao did not force him. She used medical disinfectant and some wound medicine to carefully clean the area around his wound. It should have been a heart-wrenching pain, but Zuo Hancheng did not frown at all. She did not know if he really could not feel the pain anymore, or if he simply did not want her to worry. After a series of disinfection work, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was pale, and so was Anhao¡¯s. She poured some hemostatic powder on the medical gauze, then wrapped it around the two most serious wounds on his shoulder and abdomen. Perhaps it was because he had already bled too much in the car, or perhaps the medicine was effective in stopping the bleeding, but after a few minutes, the bleeding seemed to have stopped a lot. In the end, Anhao tried her best to regain her consciousness and helped him clean and disinfect the wounds on his skin that were caused by the explosion. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had closed his eyes and remained motionless without even a frown, Anhao was a little worried, but she did not want to disturb his rest. She could only nervously raise her cold little hand and caress his cheek. She looked at his face carefully. Although he did not make a sound or frown, she saw the cold sweat dripping from his forehead and confirmed that he was awake and not unconscious. She continued to help him clean his wounds without worry. The thunder outside rumbled as if it was close to their ears. The rain became heavier and heavier, but it became their last straw of hope. Otherwise, the people who came to kill them would probably be able to find them by following their bloodstains or smells. After all, she was not sure if these people had rescue dogs in their cars that could smell people. After cleaning up all the wounds on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body, Anhao saw him quietly leaning against the slightly flat wall of the valley. He was not drenched by the rain because of the tall grass and the concealment of the valley. However, the humidity outside gradually made the air in the valley moist. He was cold all over, but the cold sweat on his forehead was still there after he was wiped dry. Anhao pulled the thin blanket she found in the car behind her and covered him. Zuo Hancheng did not move, as if he had no strength to open his eyes. However, she noticed that he was frowning. Anhao understood what he meant by frowning. She pressed her hands firmly on the thin blanket on his body and whispered in his ear,¡±¡± I¡¯m not injured as badly as you are. You need this blanket more than I do to ensure that your body temperature will not continue to decrease. Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve always been protecting me. Now, let me protect you and take care of you. Cover yourself with this blanket. Don¡¯t push it away¡­¡± When she finished speaking, she saw his brows gradually relax. Looking at his pale face, Anhao smiled. She suddenly felt that in such a terrible situation where every step was so frightening that they might lose their lives together at any time, she could still smile when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s beautiful face. Although he was pale, he was still extremely handsome. She could see his compromise and gentle movement of relaxing his eyebrows. This was probably considered a pleasure in pain. No matter how hard it was to be with Zuo Hancheng, it was still a joy. Time passed minute by minute, and the time spent hiding below was unusually long. Every minute was torture. After a long time, probably because of the sudden heavy rain, the people in the two cars could not find their way. However, Anhao probably saw the grass swaying not far away not long ago. Someone must have searched there, but did not find the valley hidden in the deep grass, so they left directly. After a long time, no one came to search him. Zuo Hancheng sat on the side without moving for a long time. Anhao raised her hand and gently placed it on his forehead, only to find that he was having a fever. With such serious injuries, it was normal for her to have a fever. However, it was raining so heavily now. If she had a fever again¡­ She hurriedly got up and went back to the first aid kit to look for medicine. However, other than some small bottles of wound medicine and hemostatic medicine, there was nothing to reduce the fever. This was a very small first aid kit. It was already very good to have those things in it¡­ However, there was a lighter inside. Anhao took out a lighter and turned to look at the heavy rain outside. The world in front of her was now damp, and there was nothing to light a fire to keep warm. Their clothes were also soaked in blood and stuck to their bodies. Anhao had no choice but to keep feeding him the small bottle of mineral water. After Zuo Hancheng drank the water, Anhao felt relieved. At least he would not be dehydrated from the fever. The rain outside had stopped. As expected, those people did not come. However, the sky outside was already completely dark. From time to time, unknown cries could be heard from the barren mountains. There were insects and beasts, but he did not know what they were. The only thing Anhao knew was that she had been driving the car crazily at that time. She had gone to the deeper and more dangerous places. Otherwise, she would not have been able to shake off the car behind her. It was not strange for a wild lion to suddenly jump out of such a deep mountain. In the United States, there were often news of animals running out of the mountains and biting farms. Both her and Zuo Hancheng still smelled of blood. Anhao leaned against Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body to warm herself up. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body temperature was very high. It felt like it was at least 39 degrees. Chapter 811 - Chapter 811: Dying (1) Chapter 811: Dying (1) There was a small flashlight in the first aid kit, but Anhao was afraid of attracting the attention of the enemies or the scary animals in the mountains, so she did not use it. She just stayed close to Zuo Hancheng in the dark and placed her cold hand on his hot forehead, almost hugging him. When she did this, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s head fell weakly in her arms. Anhao could feel his weakness and tears almost fell from her eyes. When had Zuo Hancheng ever been like this? She gently placed her hand on his head, as if she was gently hugging a fragile child. In the darkness, she felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s burning face. She lowered her head and gently kissed his face. The skin under her lips was also burning hot. Anhao held back her tears, and her trembling lips gradually landed on his lips. It was as if she was afraid that she would never be able to kiss or hug this man again in the future. She was careful and extremely devout. When she kissed his burning lips, he did not move, not even a little. Anhao¡¯s tears could no longer hold back and fell onto his face. In an instant, she only felt the saltiness on her lips. Anhao choked and whispered to him,¡±I¡¯m sorry¡­I¡¯ll listen to you in the future. If you don¡¯t let me leave your sight, I won¡¯t leave¡­ I don¡¯t make decisions like that anymore¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡­Please don¡¯t let anything happen to you¡­¡± In the mountains late at night, everything was so quiet after the rain. Only in this small area surrounded by tall grass could Anhao¡¯s devout and trembling voice be heard. It was very soft, as if she was the only one who could hear it. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, if we can get out of here alive, let¡¯s go back to the Liu Jing Garden and have a baby, okay? I miss our home so much. I even want to give birth to a King Kong Calabash Baby for you. I¡¯m ready, I¡¯m really ready¡­¡± In the dark, with her eyes closed, she was reminded of the time when she was forced to sit in the study and copy English textbooks. Her mind was filled with the fights in the Gilded Scenic Garden. Every time Zuo Hancheng appeared in front of her, he would calm the chaotic air around her. That sense of security, that kind of past that she was afraid she would never be able to trace back with him in this lifetime. Anhao¡¯s voice gradually turned from a soft sob to an unconscious murmur, and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name was mentioned in every sentence. It was not until dawn that the terrifying screeches outside had disappeared. Anhao barely woke up from the chaotic darkness. She opened her eyes and looked outside. Just as she was about to get up, she felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temperature was no longer as hot. Although it still seemed a little hot, at least the temperature was not fatal. She immediately heaved a sigh of relief. In the blink of an eye, it was dawn outside, and the rain had stopped. There was still no sign of those people chasing after them. It was probably because of the heavy rain that the pursuit ended in failure. If they had been guarding the mountain, D¡¯s men would have already rushed up and subdued them. After all, there were only two people left in the car. If D had been fully prepared to attack, those people would definitely not have been able to escape. They had survived the most dangerous period of time, so if someone else came looking for them, it would most likely be D¡¯s men. They must have been thinking of a way to find them that night. Anhao looked outside again and slowly changed her posture from leaning against Zuo Hancheng to sitting up alone. She raised her numb hand slowly and helped Zuo Hancheng, who was not burning so badly, up against the wall of the cave. She then turned back to look at the blood-stained black shirt that was thrown aside. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s scent and blood stains were all over the shirt. If D and the others could not find him after such a long time, they would probably send out rescue dogs and other assistive tools to search for him. Anhao picked up the blood-stained black shirt and was about to stand up. However, the moment she stood up, her vision went black and she almost staggered and fell to the ground. She barely raised her hand and grabbed a rock that was exposed on the valley. She barely managed to stand up. Her vision was pitch-black, and the dizziness in her head and the strange numbness in her body made her suspect that she might have been squatting here for too long¡­ She finally managed to walk out of the narrow space behind her. Anhao walked out step by step with the shirt in her hand. Every step she took felt as if she had already exhausted all her strength. It was as if there were bursts of bloody light and darkness intertwined in front of her. In order to let the people sent by D and the others find them as soon as possible, bring Zuo Hancheng to the emergency room as soon as possible, and remove the bullet from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body as soon as possible, she had to bring the clothes near the car. If there was a rescue dog, it would definitely be able to speed up the search. Anhao tried her best to pull herself together and walk back to the car she had parked before. She saw that the black Maybach, which was originally bulletproof, had been smashed countless times. Although the body of the car had been completely destroyed, at least it looked like a complete car. There was the smell of gasoline in the surroundings, but because of the humidity of the ground and the heavy rain last night, the entire mountain did not catch on fire. Anhao was afraid that there were people lurking in the car, so she didn¡¯t dare to get too close. She only placed her shirt in the nearby grass and turned around to continue walking back. The more she walked, the more her body swayed. The darkness and the bloody light were still intertwined in front of her. She was afraid that she would not be able to make it to the valley. She was afraid that Zuo Hancheng would find her missing when he woke up and rashly come out to look for her. Anhao gritted her teeth and walked back until she was near the valley. She pushed away the grass in front of her, but she felt that her strength was completely exhausted and she could not move an inch¡­ Just as she was about to enter, her legs suddenly felt numb and sore. The bloody light in front of her completely fell into the abyss of darkness. The world was pitch black. Her body fell heavily into the grass filled with rain in the early morning and fell on the cold ground. On the second day after the heavy rain, just after dawn, the scorching sun shone on the entire mountain. Not long after, the cold rain in the grass evaporated, and the moist air gradually became the fragrance of grass under the hot sun. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s fingers, which were hidden behind the grass, moved. After about ten minutes, his handsome and pale eyebrows moved slightly. Finally, he opened his eyes slowly with some difficulty. Although the dense grass in the valley blocked the light from outside, there was still some faint brightness in the gaps, enough for him to see everything inside. Just as he raised his hand, he touched the thin blanket that had warmed him for the whole night. However, the thin blanket was cold and did not have the temperature of another person. Chapter 812 - Chapter 812: Dying (2) Chapter 812: Dying (2) Zuo Hancheng subconsciously turned around and searched the narrow space. Other than the first aid kit that had been rummaged through in his anxiety, there was no sign of An Hao. He was about to get up, but he suddenly froze because of the sudden movement of his body. His pale face became even paler. The pain on his wound and the careful bandage on his body showed that Anhao, who had no experience last night, had taken care of him carefully. Zuo Hancheng endured the excruciating pain in his body and barely managed to stand up after about two minutes. Most of his body was messily wrapped by Anhao¡¯s gauze, and the thin blanket was caught by him when it slipped. He pushed aside the grass in front of him and the first thing he saw was a figure under the grass in front of him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold and he immediately walked forward to push away the grass. He saw Anhao lying on her side in the grass. The upper half of her face was pale and her white dress was stained with blood. ¡°Anhao!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not know how long she had been lying there. When he bent down to help her up, he could only feel that Anhao¡¯s body was so soft that it was as if she had no bones. She had long lost consciousness. Moreover, his body was boiling hot, even more so than last night. Then, he saw her pale face and the abnormal bruise on her lips. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face darkened, and a terrible thought came to his mind. His gaze slowly moved down and searched her legs that were covered in blood from the cuts of the grass under her skirt. When he saw the two black spots of blood between her ankles, his hands that were supporting her shoulders instantly tightened. There were some sounds coming from not far away. There was the sound of a car driving along the mountain road that had been opened up overnight. At the same time, there were some dogs barking. D led his men to find the car that Anhao had abandoned at the foot of the mountain. Then, they came all the way here because of the rescue dogs and the shirt that Anhao had thrown nearby. The bushes in front of them were pushed aside by a group of people. The moment D rushed over, he saw Zuo Hancheng, whose face was pale but had survived the night safely, carrying Anhao, who had fainted for some reason. When D saw Anhao¡¯s pale face and the mottled blood stains on her loose white dress, he did not waste any time and went forward to say,¡±¡±Mr. Zuo, we brought Dr. William with us! We can start emergency treatment immediately!¡± Zuo Hancheng held Anhao, who was cold and lifeless, in his arms. When he heard D¡¯s words, he immediately looked up at him. Six days later. In the spacious and bright room, Anhao, who had been sleeping in bed for six days, finally showed signs of waking up. The private doctor and nurse who took turns to guard the side saw her fingers move and her head tilt slightly. They quickly went out to call the other doctors in. After more than two hours of checkups, re-dressing, injections, and IV drips, Anhao, who had only shown signs of waking up, slowly opened her eyes, but she didn¡¯t know how long she had slept. She thought that she had just had a terrifying but realistic dream. In the dream, there was a bloody light, an explosion, a gunshot, a terrifying pursuit, and the Maybach speeding wildly on the mountain road¡­ There was also Zuo Hancheng, who was covered in injuries and was lying motionlessly in her arms. No matter how much she kissed him or cried beside him, he did not react. Just as she realized that she had woken up from her dream and was about to get up, she was completely jolted awake by the pain in her body. Her eyes, which had only been slightly opened, slowly widened. Her blurry eyes gradually focused. She looked at the expensive crystal chandelier in the room and realized that someone seemed to be talking to her by the bed. She slowly turned her eyes in a daze and saw two strangers talking to her by the bed. Although they were not wearing white coats, she could tell from the stethoscopes and medical equipment wires on them that they were private doctors and nurses who had been invited from somewhere. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, can you hear us clearly?¡±The doctor¡¯s voice gradually entered her ears. It was as if Anhao had finally regained her senses. She had been very confused for a while just now. She felt unbearable pain every time she moved, so she could only blink a few times as a response to the doctor. The worried expression on the doctor¡¯s face immediately turned into a relieved smile.¡±Thank God, Mrs. Zuo, your life is saved. If you don¡¯t wake up soon, I¡¯m afraid Mr. Zuo won¡¯t be able to hold on anymore¡­¡± Hearing this, Anhao realized that she wasn¡¯t dreaming. She did not see Zuo Hancheng or D¡¯s men in this strange yet spacious and bright place. She did not see the grass in the deep mountains or the cold rainy night. She opened her mouth, and the voice that came out of her mouth was weak and shallow, but it was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible. At this moment, one of the young nurses leaned over and pressed her against her mouth. She heard Anhao¡¯s weak voice,¡±¡±He¡­ How was it? What can¡¯t be endured?¡± After the nurse heard this, she stood up and whispered a few words to the doctor beside the bed. One of the doctors who looked more amiable smiled respectfully and politely at her and said,¡±Mrs. Zuo, when you and Mr. Zuo were rescued, Mr. Zuo¡¯s wound had already been disinfected, but there were still bullets in his body. His injuries were too serious and he needed to rest in bed to recuperate.¡± ¡± But Mrs. Zuo, you¡¯ve been in a coma. In the past six days, you¡¯ve been in a life-threatening situation almost every day. Mr. Zuo will come here to accompany you every day until late at night. No one can persuade him, but his injuries don¡¯t allow him to do so, so his wounds have not recovered. Moreover, because you¡¯ve been unconscious and he hasn¡¯t been able to feed you with food and water, Mr. Zuo hasn¡¯t eaten properly for many days¡­¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s confused expression, the nurse beside her said softly,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t you know? When you were bitten by a poisonous snake in the mountains, no one could imagine how you managed to hold on for so long and even disinfect Mr. Zuo¡¯s wound. At that time, you fainted on the grass. When D and the others found you, you were really on the verge of death.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know that she had slept for six days. She also didn¡¯t know how many days these medical staff hadn¡¯t dared to rest in order to save her life. Every time they heard any movement in her room, they would rush in immediately, afraid that she would die. She could only vaguely remember Zuo Hancheng¡¯s injury and what happened in the deep mountains. She wanted to get up, but she could not move. She frowned and did not have much strength to speak. But¡­ Viper? She was bitten by a snake? Chapter 813 - Chapter 813: Respect for Mister Zuo (1) Chapter 813: Respect for Mister Zuo (1) It seemed that when she was looking for something in the trunk of the car, her ankle hurt a little. However, at that time, she was so preoccupied with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s injury that she did not notice whether she was bitten by a snake or just cut by a pebble in the grass. Her impression of her was stuck on that day. After that, Anhao had focused all her attention on Zuo Hancheng, so she did not notice anything strange about herself. It was only now that she realized that she had gone through a life-and-death crisis in the past few days. The news flashed through her mind quickly. She spoke again. The nurse leaned over and said,¡±Where is he now?¡± After the nurse heard this, she straightened up and said softly to her,¡±Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t worry. Someone will inform Mr. Zuo as soon as you wake up. He should be cooperating with our treatment from today onwards. After all, his injury can¡¯t be delayed any longer. You should know that when you and Mr. Zuo were receiving emergency treatment at the same time, he had just been removed from the operating table. When he heard the worst news from you, he suddenly got off the bed despite the anesthesia on his upper body and ordered us to remove all the needles and medicine from his upper body. He rushed straight to the emergency room where you were. He was only brought back to the emergency room when your heart recovered¡­¡± At this point, envy appeared in the nurse¡¯s eyes. She even smiled and said,¡±Fortunately, Mrs. Zuo and Mr. Zuo are both blessed. After experiencing such a dangerous situation, you have already woken up. As long as you cooperate with the doctor¡¯s treatment, you will recover very quickly, and so will Mr. Zuo.¡± After confirming that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s life was saved, Anhao had almost forgotten that the doctor had said that she had been receiving emergency treatment almost every day for the past few days and that her life was in danger every day. But now, she did not feel any tears welling up in her eyes. The moment she was sure that she and Zuo Hancheng were out of danger, she asked the others again,¡±¡±D, they¡­Are you hurt?¡± Her voice was a little clearer than before, and the nurse could hear it even before she bent down. The other doctors by the bed heard it too and answered directly,¡±Don¡¯t worry, Mr. D is fine, including Mr. Zuo and Mr. D¡¯s subordinates. Except for some who were injured and burned when they rushed into the explosion site, there were no other serious casualties.¡± Anhao did not know how Zuo Hancheng had been injured back in the manor, and it was obvious that the doctors would not know either. At that time, Zuo Hancheng must have walked into the net that they had set up. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had long known about this net and knew that he would definitely be in danger if he walked in. No matter what, it was good that she could keep her life. She was in pain everywhere now. It was as if her soul had left her body and was forced back into her body. She felt all kinds of dissonance, pain, and lack of strength. After saying a few simple words, he felt exhausted. When she closed her eyes, she whispered,¡±¡±Tell him that I¡¯m awake. Let him recuperate well¡­¡± The doctor replied to her by the side. When she gradually fell asleep again, a few doctors and nurses quickly began a series of examinations. After confirming that although her vital signs were weak, she had indeed passed the most dangerous period. As long as there were no accidents or mistakes, and she continued to use the current treatment method, she would definitely recover completely in no time. Only then did the doctors relax. In another spacious bedroom in this European-style villa in New York, the doctor reapplied the medicine on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wound and gave him an injection. Zuo Hancheng, who had heard that Anhao had woken up, wanted to go and see her. However, because the doctor had conveyed Anhao¡¯s message, he did not force himself to go to Anhao¡¯s room with the wounds that had not healed for many days. The doctor was also extremely glad that Mr. Zuo could finally let them treat his wound with peace of mind. However, he did not dare to say too much when he was beside Mr. Zuo. He only conveyed some information about Mrs. Zuo¡¯s situation and her words. After he finished his work, he left the room. As the doctor left, D walked in and saw Zuo Hancheng lying quietly on the bed. The medication on his body had just been changed and he was on an IV drip. He closed the door behind him and slowly walked towards the bed. He said respectfully,¡±I heard that Mrs. Zuo has woken up.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him and did not say anything about Anhao. He could tell that something had happened to D when he came over. He said indifferently,¡±¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± D paused for a moment before he said respectfully,¡±Mr. Arel¡­¡± I suddenly have a strange request.¡± Hearing this, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold.¡±¡±What request?¡± ¡°Mr. Arel wants to see Mrs. Zuo.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. D looked at him and said,¡±¡± It¡¯s impossible for Mr. Arel not to know about the previous explosion at the manor. Even though he wasn¡¯t at the manor that day, the masterminds behind that incident were J and Y. They¡¯ve been holding a grudge against you for taking away their position in Los Angeles back then, and they hate you even more because you easily let go of those powers. All these years, they¡¯ve been trying every means to get you back, and they¡¯ve even tried to get power from Mr. Arel. They¡¯ve set up a huge net to take revenge on you, and they¡¯ve even tried to kill you.¡± As D spoke, he looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent and calm expression.¡± But it¡¯s obvious that Mr. Arel is indulging them. Mr. Arel must be unhappy about your departure. He usually won¡¯t give a person a chance to live if they don¡¯t work for him. However, he has always appreciated you and didn¡¯t really make a move against you and the Zuo family. However, J and the others have never changed their minds, and Mr. Arel deliberately let them go¡­¡± ¡± There¡¯s no need to mention these things again. After the manor explodes, Mr. Arel will make his own judgment.¡±Zuo Hancheng interrupted him coldly. D paused for a moment.¡± But Mr. Arel suddenly sent someone over and made a direct request. He said that he wanted to see Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand, signaling D to stop talking. D immediately stopped talking. ¡°You don¡¯t have to let Anhao know about this.¡± After a moment, Zuo Hancheng said in a calm and indifferent voice. D was stunned. Do you need me to make preparations in advance?¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s not a conspiracy. It¡¯s just that the time hasn¡¯t come.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze fell on D¡¯s puzzled gaze.¡±¡±You don¡¯t have to ask anything. I know what to do.¡± Although D didn¡¯t know what Mr. Zuo was referring to, Mr. Zuo had always been calm and always made the most correct decision. D nodded respectfully and changed the topic.¡±The situation at the Zuo family has been appeased by the people we sent over. Other than the old master¡¯s dissatisfaction, there¡¯s nothing else that you need to worry about, but¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng heard the hesitation in his words and looked at him again.¡±¡±But what?¡± ¡°However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly returned to Los Angeles for some unknown reason.¡± Chapter 814 - Chapter 814: Respect for Mr. Zuo (2) Chapter 814: Respect for Mr. Zuo (2) Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were calm and slightly cold. His voice was also light and one could not hear his emotions.¡±Send people to secretly monitor them. As long as there is no harm to the Zuo family, there is no need to interfere.¡± D didn¡¯t understand the reason behind Mr. Zuo¡¯s decision. Since Xu Chengfeng and Zuo Yue were related by blood, shouldn¡¯t this kind of ill-fated relationship be severed as soon as possible? However, as Zuo Yue¡¯s elder brother, Mister Zuo did not seem to have any particularly extreme reactions or actions. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at him. D was silent for a while and did not say anything else. He knew that Mr. Zuo¡¯s current physical condition did not have much energy, so he did not say anything more and respectfully left. After two days of treatment, Anhao¡¯s mental state had recovered a lot. With the nutrients given by the doctor, she could more or less eat some liquid food. Her face, which had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, no longer looked so sickly. Finally, she regained some of her normal complexion. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you are really lucky. I heard that the snake venom you were poisoned with is a very rare poison. Almost all people who are bitten by that kind of snake have a narrow escape. However, you have finally woken up after so many days and are out of danger.¡±An older nurse was helping Anhao change her medication while whispering into her ear. It was as if he had been taking care of the unconscious Anhao for the past few days. Now, he sounded like he was talking to an old friend. ¡°I didn¡¯t have much of an impression at the time.¡± Anhao obediently allowed the nurse to change her dressing. At the same time, she looked out of the window and saw that the weather was good. After thinking for a while, she asked,¡±Is Mr. Zuo feeling better these two days?¡± The nurse smiled.¡± It¡¯s all thanks to Mrs. Zuo¡¯s words that Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t rush over to see you the moment you woke up. Otherwise, his wound would have been tortured over and over again, and the healing speed would have been greatly reduced.¡±¡± Even though the nurse did not answer directly, and instead kept nagging about these things, Anhao could tell that Zuo Hancheng had indeed cooperated with the doctor¡¯s treatment these past two days. So she quietly closed her eyes and lay on the bed as the nurse applied medicine on her back. At the same time, she closed her eyes and said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know how to lock his room? Where else could he go after he locked it?¡± The nurse looked at her in surprise, as if she did not expect Mrs. Zuo to say such a thing. After a long silence, she whispered,¡±Don¡¯t joke around. Whoever dares to lock Mr Zuo¡¯s door is clearly not willing to live.¡± ¡°Is he that scary?¡± Anhao opened her eyes and glanced at the nurse. The nurse didn¡¯t answer. She helped Anhao get up after applying the medicine on her and helped her change into a new, comfortable, thin, and loose dress. She bent down to help Anhao treat the snake bite on her ankle and then looked up at her. Seeing that the nurse seemed to have something to say but didn¡¯t dare to, Anhao raised her eyebrows.¡±¡±What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, how did you get married to Mr. Zuo?¡± The nurse hesitated for a moment before saying. Our doctor and Mr. Zuo have known each other for many years. In our impression, Mr. Zuo rarely had any women who could get close to him. He was like an outsider to the opposite sex. It seemed that other than the female celebrity named Rong Xue who often went in and out of Mr. Zuo¡¯s company during his first few years in Shengling Group, no other woman could get close to Mr. Zuo.¡± Although the nurse was in her thirties, she had a gossipy look on her face. Anhao sat by the bed and did not answer her. After looking at her for a while, she asked,¡±Aren¡¯t you all women?¡± The nurse suddenly smiled and muttered,¡± Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t joke around like that. We don¡¯t even dare to get close to Mr. D, let alone Mr. Zuo¡­¡± ¡°Are they very scary?¡± Anhao asked casually and didn¡¯t really care. The nurse answered very seriously,¡±On the one hand, it¡¯s fear. On the other hand, it¡¯s respect.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze landed on the nurse¡¯s body again, and her eyes were full of doubts. The nurse smiled and said,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, you probably don¡¯t know this, but under the influence of the American mafia, a large number of people are refugees who have secretly crossed over from various countries in the world. They left their troubled countries to come to the United States in hopes of obtaining the identity of American citizens to seek asylum. However, there are too many people who want to obtain American citizenship, and 80% of them can¡¯t get what they want. Gradually, they would be diverted to some underground organizations.¡± The nurse felt that Mrs. Zuo was very easy-going, and she seemed to know everything about Mr. Zuo¡¯s past, so she didn¡¯t treat Anhao as an outsider. The nurse directly started the conversation. ¡± Many of those underground organizations are outlaws, and they usually do dirty things. The real number one mafia organization in the United States is the New York mafia. In order to eliminate these outlaws, the war between the two sides has never stopped. Later, the mafia released some policies, giving those outlaws two choices. One is to submit and be trained as one of their own. The other is to continue to resist and gradually be eliminated. It was obvious that those people were not born to be outlaws. Most of them had submitted. There were many people wandering in Los Angeles at that time. Mr. Zuo was almost equivalent to a savior in their eyes. He gave them a way out, gave them opportunities, and arranged normal jobs for those people so that they could have a stable foothold in America.¡± ¡°Most of us medical staff are Chinese, and the people who follow Mr. Zuo are also mostly Chinese or Chinese. The branch under Mr. Zuo is very large. Mrs. Zuo, you should know how much the Chinese make up in the world, so the branch under Mr. Zuo has inadvertently grown stronger and stronger, almost surpassing the original branch of the American mafia.¡± ¡°And everyone also regarded Mr. Zuo as a weather indicator. Mr. Zuo¡¯s decisiveness and what he did would never disappoint everyone. Although he was still very young at that time, he was a god in everyone¡¯s eyes.¡± ¡°Whether it was ten years ago or ten years later, we respected him very much. Of course, we respected him even more.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, why would J want him dead now?¡±Anhao asked. ¡± That¡¯s because J was the only two organizations under Mr. Zuo that were not completely trusted. Although Mr. Zuo took them in, J¡¯s personality was very cunning. Although he had always been afraid of Mr. Zuo and respected him, Mr. Zuo never gave them any real power. So when Mr. Zuo left, the rest of us either left with him or were approved to develop in New York because of our solid foundation.¡± Chapter 815 - Chapter 815: Other than Zuo Hancheng, No One Can Match Him (1) Chapter 815: Other than Zuo Hancheng, No One Can Match Him (1) ¡± As for J¡¯s organization, it became unstable because they didn¡¯t get any real power. They were caught between the untamed outlaws and the mafia gangs, and were almost wiped out. Later on, they desperately clung onto Mr. Arel¡¯s biggest life-saving straw to get to where they are today. J has always respected Mr. Zuo, but at the same time, he should have always held a grudge¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t know much about these things, but after hearing what the nurse said, she could roughly guess the reason. It turned out that it was just for the power struggle over the years and not for some particularly persistent and terrifying revenge. In this way, the danger factor in her heart could be considered to have decreased a little. In this situation, Zuo Cheng would definitely have a solution after he survived this time. Seeing that Anhao was in a daze, the nurse smiled and brought Anhao the medicine that she needed to take on time every day. She also handed her a glass of water.¡±Take your medicine, Madam Zuo. Your recovery is really good. At least it has exceeded all of our expectations.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re not dead, you can¡¯t just lie there like that. If you lie there for too long, you¡¯ll probably really not be far from death.¡±Anhao said half-jokingly. After taking the medicine, she drank some water and thought about the cars that were chasing after them that day. Although she still had a lingering fear, she was already in such an environment, so there was nothing to be surprised or panicked about. She had long known that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s influence in the United States was not simple. She just didn¡¯t expect that she would actually enter the sphere of influence of the so-called American mafia in her lifetime. After drinking the medicine, Anhao handed the cup to the nurse and turned to get on the bed. She said,¡±¡±If he asks me about my body, you say I¡¯ve been good for a long time. After a few days, I can take the initiative to see him. Tell him not to ignore the wounds on his body and come here, lest the wounds open open. I remember the gunshot wounds on his shoulder and abdomen are very¡­¡± Before Anhao could finish, there was a sudden movement outside the door. The nurse turned around and walked to the door. When she opened the door, she looked at the person outside in surprise.¡±Mister Zuo?¡± Anhao¡¯s unfinished words were stuck in her throat and she subconsciously raised her head. The nurse stood stiffly in front of the door for a few seconds before she remembered to open the door and retreated to the side. At this moment, Zuo Hancheng was standing outside the door. He was wearing a soft and loose black long-sleeved T-shirt that covered his perfect figure and the wounds on his body. If Anhao had not looked at him carefully, she would have seen some inconspicuous patterns on his body that were wrapped in the judge¡¯s gauze. If Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was not still a little pale, people would have thought that he had not been injured at all. They were just discussing how to make Zuo Hancheng lie in his room peacefully, and now he had appeared in front of her door. Anhao and Zuo Hancheng stared at each other silently for a long time. Until the nurse realized that her presence seemed to be a little unnecessary. Moreover, Mr. Zuo was already here. It was probably unrealistic to let him go back. So she quickly walked out respectfully and said,¡±Mr. Zuo, I¡¯ll go out first. If there¡¯s anything you need¡­¡± Before the nurse could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in. Outside the door, the nurse shut her mouth and did not dare to say anything else. After Zuo Hancheng entered the room, she closed the door behind him. She did it very softly so as not to disturb them. The room was extremely quiet. Anhao was still sitting on the bed and was about to lie down. Although her injuries were not as serious as Zuo Hancheng¡¯s, the series of treatments with snake venom, bloodletting, and serum had almost completely changed her blood. She was now so weak that she could only sit up and lie down on the bed. She needed the nurse¡¯s help. If the nurse had not suddenly spotted Zuo Hancheng, she would have helped her lie down by now. She couldn¡¯t lie down on her own now because although the wound on her back had almost healed, she didn¡¯t have the strength to support the upper part of her body, so she could only sit on the bed stiffly and not move. When she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep gaze again, Anhao simply maintained her sitting position on the bed. She did not lie down or get out of bed. She immediately scanned his body. Other than his pale face, she did not see any other wounds. ¡± Didn¡¯t the doctor tell you not to get out of bed again? At least until your wound heals¡­¡± Anhao suddenly said. However, Zuo Hancheng had already approached her bedside. He did not say anything, but it was obvious that he had exhausted a certain amount of energy just by walking over. Anhao and he were both severely injured this time. Unlike the past, they had gone through thick and thin together. It was a miracle that they were able to survive this time, especially when she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pale face. However, when she saw her own reflection in his eyes, Anhao did not want to cry, but her eyes still turned red. Zuo Hancheng was still alive. It was great. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re the only one in this world who has the guts to drive a car at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour before you take the driver¡¯s license test.¡±Zuo Hancheng ignored what she had just said and suddenly said,¡± His tone was so calm that it was as if the two of them were only discussing a driving lesson and not a soul-stirring life and death chase. He really had the ability to stop her overflowing emotions every time she was nervous and even wanted to be coquettish. Anhao pursed her lips and glanced at him. Suddenly, she muttered in a strange tone,¡±¡±You should be glad that there weren¡¯t many people on that road, and there weren¡¯t any car accidents. Otherwise, Mr. Vllen, who is famous among the American mafia, would have died in my hands before J.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng walk closer and sit by her bed. She looked at his waist and abdomen.¡± Be careful when you sit down. The bullet wounds on your abdomen and waist are very serious.¡± However, Zuo Hancheng suddenly reached out and placed his hand on the back of her head. The moment Anhao was stunned, he gently pressed her into his arms. At the same time, a gentle kiss suddenly fell on her lips. It was an extremely gentle and warm kiss that calmed down the lingering fear and fear in her mind bit by bit. After surviving the disaster, perhaps the two of them did not need to say anything about the oath of eternal love, nor did they need to sigh. It was just a warm and careful kiss that did not hurt her. He just lifted his arm slowly and pressed her into his embrace. Even though he did not have much strength now, Anhao kissed him quietly. When she closed her eyes and enjoyed the joy of being reborn and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s steady heartbeat, Anhao realized that this was perhaps the happiest thing in the world¡­ Chapter 816 - Chapter 816: Other than Zuo Hancheng, No One Can Match Him (2) Chapter 816: Other than Zuo Hancheng, No One Can Match Him (2) Anhao¡¯s hand stopped on his chest. She opened her palm and pressed it on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. Sensing her subtle movements, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gentle kiss suddenly deepened, but it was not particularly fierce. Instead, it turned from warmth to a deeper entanglement. His palm was tightly clasped on the back of her head. The two of them had different medicinal smells on their bodies, and they were both pale. Under the sun, they kissed each other gently because they had not lost each other. It was as if they were silently licking each other¡¯s wounds. In the past. In Zuo Hancheng¡¯s world, he thought that the only thing he could bring Anhao was a peaceful and blissful life, and not the bloody killings and vagrants from ten years ago. At this very moment, Anhao, who was full of injuries, was like a gentle cat in his arms. Her thin and thick kisses were her undying love. The rebellious girl who would only turn around and leave in front of him had accompanied him through life and death. Even when she knew his past and identity when he was young and hot-blooded ten years ago, she showed no signs of backing down. In the past, Zuo Hancheng thought that he could give this girl who belonged to him love and everything she liked. Now, he wanted to give her everything. Whether it was ten years ago or ten years later, whether it was Vllen or Zuo Hancheng, everything was his. Anhao¡¯s physical strength could not withstand it at all. At least, Zuo Hancheng only had external injuries. However, her strength had already been exhausted when she was talking to the nurse just now. After this lingering kiss, she leaned into his embrace, but she wasn¡¯t acting coquettishly. She really didn¡¯t have the strength to speak. She even leaned into his embrace and breathed in his scent, and she could fall asleep immediately. Just as Anhao closed her eyes like a docile cat and did not move for a long time, Zuo Hancheng noticed that she was about to fall asleep. He raised his hand and patted her back, wanting to help her lie down. ¡°Bang!¡± Suddenly, a loud sound came from outside, like a gunshot. Anhao, who was about to fall asleep, opened her eyes in an instant. Zuo Hancheng, who was helping her lie down, paused at the same time. Anhao¡¯s originally calm eyes had a hint of surprise.¡±¡±Did something happen again?¡± However, there was only one ring outside and there was no more movement. Zuo Hancheng acted as if nothing had happened. He laid her down on the bed and covered her with the blanket at the same time. Anhao saw his series of actions and wanted to say that he didn¡¯t need to take care of her. He was so seriously injured, and she couldn¡¯t afford to enjoy the treatment of him taking care of her with almost half his life. ¡°Ignore it.¡± Zuo Hancheng got up slowly. Due to his injuries, he did not have as much energy as he usually did. He only took a very slow time to take out a nail clipper from the drawer beside him. Anhao did not know what he was going to do. She only saw him take out the nail clipper and wondered if Zuo Hancheng¡¯s injury had shifted to his brain. The gunshots were already ringing outside, yet he still wanted to cut his nails. She had never noticed him being so mindful of his image before. Anhao was muttering to herself when Zuo Hancheng returned to her bedside and sat down. At the same time, he pulled her hand and started trimming her long nails. Anhao¡¯s suspicious expression instantly turned into confusion. ¡± Someone just fired outside, Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Anhao wondered if there was something wrong with his ears or if his reaction was too slow. How could he still be in the mood to trim her nails? Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t answer, but he kept silent and continued his actions. When Anhao saw him lowering his head like this, she finally understood what was the most beautiful thing in the world. Other than Zuo Hancheng, no one else could give her the gentlest love in the world. The sun was shining brightly in the villa. When Zuo Hancheng walked out, D was walking in from outside. The moment he saw Zuo Hancheng, D¡¯s eyes scanned him a few times to make sure that there would be no major problems with his injuries. He then asked,¡±¡±Did the noise just now disturb Mrs. Zuo?¡± ¡°She¡¯s already asleep.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say much and simply walked out. The sun shone on his black shirt. Because it was completely black, the scars hidden in it were almost invisible from a distance. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was more cold than pale. Because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sudden appearance, the person who was originally guarding the villa quickly turned around and said respectfully,¡±¡± Mr. Vllen, you¡¯re on the first floor.¡± At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was fixed on the extended black limousine parked outside the villa. As he walked out, the window of the car slowly rolled down. The person inside looked at him indifferently. D walked over and whispered behind Zuo Hancheng,¡±¡± Mr. Arel requested to see Mrs. Zuo. After we rejected him, he rushed over personally. The gunshot just now was fired by the bodyguard beside him because he was repeatedly stopped by us. After that, Mr. Arel stopped the bodyguard and parked the car here, waiting for you to come out.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained calm and cold after hearing that. He did not have any extra emotions. His black eyes looked at the person in the car window. After a moment, he slowly walked over. When they reached the front door of the villa, they were only a few meters away from the car. They could hear each other¡¯s voices just by speaking in a normal tone. Zuo Hancheng stopped in his tracks and said,¡± I didn¡¯t see Mr. Arel in the manor that day, so I knew that Mr. Arel was busy and couldn¡¯t come back to meet me personally. I didn¡¯t expect that today, an honored guest would come to visit me. I¡¯m afraid this small villa of mine can¡¯t welcome a big Buddha like you.¡± The middle-aged man in the car did not get out of the car. His gaze fell on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pale face and confirmed that he had really escaped death in the manor. Although his gaze was a little complicated, he did not forget the purpose of coming here today. ¡°J sent someone to send me a photo.¡±The elegant and cold voice of the middle-aged man in the car rang out.¡±I heard that the girl in the photo is your wife, Villen?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression remained calm. Even in front of the so-called godfather of the American mafia, he did not have any intention of being polite. ¡°J posted the photo?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his smile was faint.¡±¡±Where did he take a photo of someone and show it to you? When did Mr. Arel take this old trick seriously?¡± The man in the car was silent for a moment. After a while, he said,¡±Vllen, you should know who I¡¯ve been looking for all these years. If you¡¯ve already discovered that person¡¯s existence, or if you¡¯ve discovered something that even I didn¡¯t expect, I advise you not to try to go against me. You know my temper very well.¡± D, who was standing behind Zuo Hancheng, heard the words coming from the car. He was puzzled and walked forward to take a look at the person in the car. Then, he turned to look at Mr. Zuo. He saw that Mr. Zuo¡¯s complexion was calm, but there was a clear curve on his lips. Chapter 817 - Chapter 817: As Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 817: As Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (1) He saw that Mr. Zuo¡¯s complexion was calm, but there was a clear curve on his lips. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s attitude was cold and indifferent, and he did not say a single word about his wife, Mr. Arel was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Is her injury serious? If you need anything, I can send a doctor over to help.¡± ¡°Thank you for your concern, Mr. Arel. I will do my best to treat my wife. If she is still in danger, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have the time to come here and meet Mr. Arel.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm and emotionless, but anyone could tell that he had unintentionally revealed Anhao¡¯s condition. As if he knew that the girl in the photo was out of danger, Mr. Arel¡¯s tone softened.¡±¡±It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. I¡¯ll deal with J¡¯s matter later. However, Vllen, you left ten years ago just like that. I didn¡¯t pursue this matter for many years. Now, because of you, my favorite manor was destroyed. Don¡¯t you think you should give me an explanation?¡± ¡°What kind of explanation does Mr. Arel want?¡±Zuo Hancheng asked back the difficult question that he had thrown at him. His attitude seemed cold, distant, and polite, but he also seemed innocent. There was another moment of silence in the car. D stood behind Zuo Hancheng. Although he knew that Mr. Arel had always been polite to Mr. Zuo, even when Mr. Zuo left, Mr. Arel was furious, but he was unwilling to kill Mr. Zuo. He was also unwilling to fall out with him. That was why the two of them had been in a stalemate for so many years, as if they were sworn enemies. However, Mr. Arel had always tolerated Mr. Zuo. ¡°Although the cause of the incident was J¡¯s selfishness, J has been by my side for many years. I know his methods very well. If you hadn¡¯t already discovered his purpose but still went there with the risk of an explosion, my manor might not have been blown up.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled when he heard Mr. Arel say so much, but the smile did not reach his eyes. ¡°So, as a party equally responsible, I won¡¯t hold you responsible. As for J, the word ¡®death¡¯ belongs to him, and the word ¡®movable¡¯ belongs to you, but¡­¡± After a moment of silence, Mr. Arel¡¯s voice was cold with a hint of a strange smile.¡±I heard that the market value of your Shengling Group has exceeded 70 billion US dollars. Are you interested in making a deal with me? I¡¯ll pay 70 billion to buy your company. You can start over and see if you can create another company like Shengling Group in five years. If you can defeat Shengling Group in the business world, I won¡¯t hold you and your subordinates responsible. I¡¯ll also ban everyone from hunting you down and secretly threatening you. You didn¡¯t lose anything in this deal. How about it?¡± ¡°It sounds like an exciting game.¡±Zuo Hancheng seemed to be quite interested in Mr. Arel¡¯s wonderful test and game, and his smile deepened. Mr. Arel knew Zuo Hancheng very well. When this kid was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old ten years ago, his intelligence and style of doing things were already above everyone else. He was not someone that ordinary people could compete with. Now, he knew that he was scheming against him, but he was smiling as if he would accept this game that sounded fair but was full of traps. It seemed like everything was going smoothly, but Mr. Arel was actually squinting his eyes in the car. ¡°Unfortunately¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang out as Mr. Arel narrowed his eyes,¡±¡±This Zuo may not be qualified to continue this game.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡± Before I returned to the United States, I transferred all the companies and assets under my name to my wife. Now, Shengling Group is nominally in charge, but in fact, everything is under my wife¡¯s name. The market value of 70 billion yuan only belongs to her.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the person in the carriage with a faint smile and continued,¡±¡±Mr. Arel, no matter how much you plan, you¡¯re still a step too late.¡± Arel suddenly laughed out loud.¡± It seems that you¡¯ve already calculated all of this before you returned to America. Vlllen, I still wonder if I was right or wrong to let you dominate the business world both overseas and overseas and not block your path.¡± ¡°Not really.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was clear and calm. Although his face was pale, his attitude remained cold as if he was talking to an ordinary person.¡± Speaking of which, the game that Mr. Arel suggested is exactly what I¡¯m very interested in. Unfortunately, I¡¯m relying on my wife to support me. To be honest, once I¡¯m used to living off a woman, it¡¯s very difficult for me to use my wits to defeat any other company. Moreover, my wife would rather die than invest 70 billion yuan into this game.¡± Zuo Hancheng had a henpecked expression on his face. He spoke innocently and smiled strangely. D, however, almost couldn¡¯t hold back when he heard the words ¡± live off a woman ¡°. However, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Not to mention Sheng Ling Corporation¡¯s market value of 70 billion, Mr. Arel might not be able to buy it with that much money. After all, the market value and the asking price were not on the same level. Besides, although Mr. Zuo had not been involved in the underworld business for the past ten years, he was the sole legal heir of the Zuo family. The money he earned before he left the organization was enough to buy back Shengling Group. How could he really be a freeloader now? The great Zuo Hancheng was standing there with an innocent and dignified look on his face, saying that he was living off a woman and that he had to rely on his wife to support him. No one would be able to stand in such a scene. However, Zuo Hancheng said it in a serious manner, as if he was proud that he could finally live off a woman. Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Mr. Arel actually laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, Mr. Arel said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Good boy, you¡¯re indeed the person I¡¯ve admired for so many years. You didn¡¯t even dare to lift a finger. J¡¯s traps failed to kill you, and my plans were instantly overturned by you. You can make so many plans without batting an eyelid, but why didn¡¯t you think that I might decide to kill you one day to prevent you from betraying me?¡± ¡°Mr. Arel said that he wouldn¡¯t be willing to lay a finger on me, but all these years, he has never stopped thinking about killing me.¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at the people in the car and said calmly,¡±¡±Why should I be afraid of showing off my abilities at this moment? Mr. Arel probably knows me even better than you do, so why should I hide it?¡± ¡°Are you really not afraid of death?¡± Mr. Arel snorted. The United States is my home, New York is my home, your first step here, around you there are countless hidden guns aimed at your heart, Vallen, dare to use this attitude to brush me off, you are indeed courting death.¡± Chapter 818 - Chapter 818: Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 818: Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (2) Mr. Arel¡¯s last few words were enunciated in a deep and cold tone. In an instant, the car parked quietly in front of the villa looked bone-chilling and filled with killing intent. D instantly became alert. He had been on guard since long ago and knew that Mr. Arel would not come with a simple goal. Now, it seemed that it was much more dangerous than he had imagined. However, Zuo Hancheng remained calm and his pale face was as calm as it had been a few minutes ago. ¡°If you don¡¯t have a trump card in your hands, how would you dare to enter this harsh land?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm voice rang out. ¡°What trump card?¡± Mr. Arel looked at him.¡± ¡°Mr. Arel has been in the United States for many years. His methods are ruthless and merciless, but he has never done anything to his loved ones.¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, Mr. Arel¡¯s voice rang out,¡±¡±A close relative? Who is your wife? I¡¯ve seen the photos sent by J¡¯s men. Who is she?¡± ¡°She is my Mrs. Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His smile was faint, but his eyes were so cold that no one could see through his eyes. When Anhao woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning of the second day. The sun was just right. The nurse had just helped her remove the needle on the back of her hand. When she opened her eyes, the nurse smiled gently at her and said,¡±Mrs. Zuo, you needed a high-dose injection every day a few days ago, so we stuck a needle in your hand. You¡¯re much better now. In order not to affect your normal recovery and other aspects of your body, you can take the needle out from today on. Take the medicine on time every day and have a good rest.¡± Anhao glanced at the place where the needle had been pulled out. Because she had been pricked by the needle for a few days, it was painful and itchy. But now, she no longer had the numbness from the snake bite that day. Everything had returned to normal. Whether it was pain or itch, she had returned to the most sensitive state. ¡°Thank you.¡± Anhao smiled at the neglect and glanced at the window at the same time. Seeing that the sky was bright outside, she remembered that before she fell asleep yesterday, she seemed to have heard gunshots outside. If she hadn¡¯t seen her neatly trimmed nails at the same time, she might have thought that yesterday was just a dream. The scene of Zuo Hancheng helping her trim her nails the day before was an indescribable shock to her. However, she suddenly felt that this man¡¯s love and care for her had changed a lot in an instant. Back then, Zuo Hancheng and Anhao had a deep relationship, and it was obvious that he cared for her. However, Anhao had never felt the same way as she did when he sat there yesterday. Whether it was his kiss, his gaze, or the scene when he helped her trim her nails, it all made her feel rooted in the bottom of her heart. The nurse applied some medicine on the needle mark on her hand to relieve the pain and itch after the needle was pulled out. Then, she walked out. The room was very quiet. Anhao slowly sat up. She felt that after sleeping for more than ten hours, she had recovered a lot of strength. When she sat up, she looked at her nails again and then looked in the direction of the door. She knew that Zuo Hancheng could not come over to accompany her every day due to his physical condition, but she was satisfied when she thought about how he was in another room in the villa and how close she was to him. As expected, people would not truly experience the joy of living if they did not experience life and death. In the afternoon, after Anhao ate, the nurse helped her out of bed and walked around the room. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, as long as you don¡¯t make any big movements, the wound on your back won¡¯t re-open, and the scab will scab very quickly. As long as you eat more food every day, the speed of your recovery will definitely surprise the doctors here.¡± The nurse was already quite familiar with Anhao, and when she spoke, she treated Anhao more and more like one of her own. Anhao was helped to the window by the nurse. After the nurse opened the window, she said,¡±¡±If you feel bored in your room, you can take a walk on the balcony. It¡¯s very hot outside today, and there¡¯s no wind.¡± Anhao walked to the window to take a look at the place. She had only heard that this was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s private villa in New York. She had not heard much about it, so she was curious about how big this place was. After all, the room she was staying in was ridiculously big. The balcony was just outside the window, and one could walk up to the balcony directly by stepping through the window. It was already the hot summer of the end of July, and it was the most stuffy time. There was not a trace of wind, but it was precisely because there was no wind that Anhao was allowed to come out and walk in advance. The nurse helped Anhao to the white European-style table and chair on the balcony and sat down. She then placed two thin blankets on Anhao¡¯s back and legs. ¡± It¡¯s very hot¡­¡± Anhao muttered. ¡°If you want to stay outside for a while longer, you have to cover yourself with a blanket. This thin blanket won¡¯t be very hot. Madam, your body just came back from the gates of hell a few days ago. Even if you¡¯re recovering now, you have to be careful.¡±The nurse nagged as she covered her with a blanket. Anhao no longer resisted and turned to look at the villa. He didn¡¯t know where he was in New York, but it didn¡¯t look like it was in the suburbs. It looked like it was near the city center. It wasn¡¯t very remote. Didn¡¯t the gunshots yesterday cause panic among the nearby citizens? As Anhao was thinking, she suddenly saw a few men in black uniforms walking out of the villa. D¡¯s figure had his back facing this direction. Anhao couldn¡¯t see his expression, but she saw that the people opposite him seemed to be very calm and serious. Judging from his attitude, there should not be any danger here for the time being. Zuo Hancheng was such a low-key person, but he chose to recuperate in a villa area near New York City. It was quite a big deal. Although he did not know the reason, Zuo Hancheng definitely had his reasons. Anhao rested her chin on one hand and shifted her gaze away from D and the others. She looked around and realized that this was a particularly beautiful garden-style villa estate, not the kind of villa area where many villas were gathered together. There were only a few villas in such a large manor, and it seemed that they were all Zuo Hancheng¡¯s places. No outsiders lived here. In the past, she always joked that Zuo Hancheng kept a low profile like a CEO of a listed company who started from scratch. She did not know his background in the past, but now she did not know his past. However, the surprise he brought to her gradually increased, as if there was always another side to that man that she could not get to the bottom of. Chapter 819 - Chapter 819: Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 819: Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (3) However, the European-style villa she was living in now was definitely a unique scenery in New York City. There was also a huge white tower behind them, and from time to time, the sound of a bell rang. At this moment, a flock of white pigeons flew past. Anhao raised her eyes and squinted under the sunlight. ¡°Madam, the servants in the villa made some soup to replenish qi and blood just now. I¡¯ll bring it to you.¡±Seeing that Anhao was sitting there quietly and staring around in a daze, the nurse made sure that she would be fine here, so she turned around and left the balcony after speaking. Having just experienced life and death and having been confined to her room for a few days, Anhao felt so comfortable that she wanted to squint her eyes. Although she had just woken up, her physical strength was not as good as usual. In such a comfortable environment, she suddenly wanted to sleep. Anhao was dizzy under the sunlight. She had just closed her eyes for a few minutes with one hand on her face. Suddenly, she felt that someone was looking at her. She opened her eyes and saw Zuo Hancheng, who had appeared on the balcony. There were still some minor wounds on his handsome face, and he was still wearing a black shirt. Anhao realized that he wore black a lot when he was in America. He could wear any color in the past, but now that he was injured, he liked black. Was it because it wouldn¡¯t show how serious the injury was? At this moment, Zuo Hancheng had already walked to her side. Anhao suddenly felt that after returning to New York after ten years, this man no longer had the peaceful aura he had in A City. Instead, he had an imposing aura hidden under his calm surface, as if he was the ruler of the world. It was a kind of aura that had transformed from a murderous aura to a thunderous aura. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have realized that he had disturbed her rest. He stood by the table and did not move. He looked at Anhao, who was leaning against the table with a blanket covering her face and was in a daze. He smiled because of her cat-like lazy appearance. ¡°You¡¯ve already slept for more than ten hours.¡± Hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s obvious teasing, Anhao rolled her eyes at him. At the same time, she pulled the blanket off her back and put it aside.¡±Who knows what kind of snake bit me? The doctor said that it¡¯s already good enough that I survived. It¡¯s already a blessing that I¡¯m sitting here without you guys worrying too much, okay? If you don¡¯t cherish the life you¡¯ve saved with great difficulty and rest more, do you want me to walk around like you when my injuries haven¡¯t healed yet?¡± ¡°So you still know that your life was saved.¡±Zuo Hancheng snorted and turned around slowly. He took two steps back and sat on the white chair opposite her desk. ¡°Yesterday, I was probably shocked by the gunshot and my brain didn¡¯t function normally for a moment. I actually fell asleep after being coaxed by you.¡± ¡°What can happen? If something happened, would I be sitting here safe and sound?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao with a meaningful smile. Anhao realized that Zuo Hancheng was no longer a secret that he had never intended to tell her in the past, so he became even more unscrupulous in front of her. If Zuo Hancheng was once a sleeping lion hidden in the sea of business in A City, then he would have been the most powerful person in the world. Now, Zuo Hancheng was like a beast that had woken up long ago, but he always liked to pluck his beard to tease her. A lion whose brain had water in it. ¡°Since you have nothing to do, why did you come to my place? It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know how badly injured you were at that time. Why do you have to come to my place every day as if nothing had happened?¡±Anhao continued to hold her chin and looked at him seriously.¡±¡±Did you heal well?¡± ¡°I thought that after you experienced a life and death crisis, you would cherish the opportunity to be with me and not chase me away again and again.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled and looked at her.¡± What did you say when you cried and shouted in my arms when I was unconscious from the fever?¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes widened as she looked at him. She saw the teasing look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, which seemed to have heard everything she said. She blushed and raised her hand to cover her eyes. She said regretfully,¡±That was what I said when I was forced to stimulate you to open your eyes. It¡¯s fine if you listen to it, but don¡¯t mention it again.¡± What about going back to Liu Garden to have a child? What about life and death? Just thinking about those words made her teeth ache. However, despite the awkwardness, since Zuo Hancheng could hear what she had said, it meant that he had not completely fainted. When Anhao put down her hand, she looked at him again.¡±¡±Were you awake the whole time that day?¡± ¡°At least when you said those words, I still had some consciousness.¡± Anhao was speechless. Can we not talk about that?¡± Not to mention that she had said some mushy words at that time, if she had really been forced, she might have taken off her clothes and hugged him to help him wipe his sweat like those unscientific methods in television dramas. When a person was stimulated and afraid, they would do anything stupid. In order to prevent Zuo Hancheng from continuing to tease her about what she had done and said after she was scared silly that night, Anhao decided to change the topic.¡±Well, how many things do you need to deal with in New York? Is that Mr. Arel guy difficult to deal with? Do we still have to stay here for a while after we recover? Or can we just leave?¡± She knew that Zuo Hancheng had never intended to let her delve into those matters, so she would not ask too much. However, she still needed to know when it would end and whether there would be any more dangers in the future. ¡°What do you plan to do?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her directly but asked her a question instead. ¡°I plan to learn how to drive when I have the chance and get a driver¡¯s license or something. That way, if anything happens in the future, you can at least rest assured about your driving skills. You won¡¯t have to sit in the passenger seat and stare at me with a brave expression.¡± ¡± That¡¯s a good idea,¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled.¡± But before you go back to get your driver¡¯s license, I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s something very important that you need to do personally.¡±¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows twitched.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already informed the Andersons that I¡¯ll be visiting in half a month.¡± The smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes froze for a moment as she looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm expression. She put her hand down from her chin and slowly crossed her hands on the table. After about a minute, Anhao suddenly looked up at him.¡±Since you¡¯re so resourceful, you were able to investigate the relationship between my mother and the Andersons so thoroughly. So, do you also know who my father is?¡± Chapter 820 - Chapter 820: Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 820: Black-bellied as Zuo Hancheng (4) In the face of Anhao¡¯s calm but sharp question, he was stunned. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change. At the same time, his smile was faint. However, his eyes were so deep that Anhao was even more certain of her thoughts. ¡°The muddy little wild cat that I picked up back then has finally grown up.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly, his eyes still fixed on her.¡±You¡¯ve learned to be docile and obedient, but you¡¯re becoming more and more sensitive.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze froze. Was he indirectly admitting that he did know who her father was? ¡°So who is my father? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? Is he still alive?¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but ask out of curiosity. At this moment, the nurse suddenly came up to the balcony with the soup she had just brought. She did not seem surprised to see Zuo Hancheng there. She nodded respectfully at Zuo Hancheng as she walked over and placed the soup on the tray in front of them one by one. Even when the nurse tactfully put down her things and turned to leave, Anhao still stared at Zuo Hancheng, trying to find some clues from his attitude. He picked up a bowl, scooped a bowl of soup, and placed it in front of her. At the same time, his voice sounded neither soft nor light.¡±Everything will come to light when you return to the Andersons.¡± Anhao lowered her eyes and looked at the soup in the bowl. The seemingly calm bowl was sparkling under the sunlight. Ten days later, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng had recovered a lot. However, a mysterious person suddenly came to invite them to a place. The reason why she was called a mystery was that the person had only sent a car over and a lot of bodyguards. He had sincerely invited them over, but he did not say what he was going to do. In fact, in the list of invitations, other than Zuo Hancheng, her name was clearly there. The mysterious man did not show up, and Zuo Hancheng did not explain his identity. Anhao was worried that there might be some conspiracy or danger. After all, she did not understand the world of the American mafia. She could not fight with those who were in the dark, so she could only be careful. However, Zuo Hancheng actually agreed to go and only brought D as his bodyguard. Sitting in the extended luxury RV, Anhao ate the fruits and food provided by those people. Although they were delicious, she was still worried. He looked out from time to time and saw that the car seemed to be driving in the direction of the manor from that day. She had been waiting outside the manor for a long time, so she had observed the surrounding environment for a long time. As soon as she drove near, Anhao turned to Zuo Hancheng with a vigilant look.¡±Why are you here? Did they have another trap? Could it be that J wanted to do something again?¡± However, as soon as she finished her question, she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent gaze. The black shirt on his body gave her a calm and steady feeling. It seemed that no matter what happened, he would not really bring her close to a dangerous place. Since he had brought her here today, she should believe him and believe that nothing would happen today. Anhao trusted Zuo Hancheng, but the guns in those people¡¯s hands were blind. She did not want to see Zuo Hancheng lying in his arms, covered in blood, motionless. Never again in her life! ¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry. That person invited us here today not to do anything to us, but to deal with J personally. It can also be considered a big reunion gift for Mr. Zuo after ten years of separation.¡±D said. Anhao subconsciously looked at Zuo Hancheng and saw that he was looking at her calmly. Anhao did not know what was wrong with her. Ever since the two of them had returned from this life and death crisis, Zuo Hancheng looked at her every day with an expression that seemed to have changed. However, it did not seem to be any different from before. He had always been a two-faced man. Recently, he often liked to tease her as much as he used to. Every time, he would only be happy when she was angry. However, she felt that he seemed to have suddenly become a lot more two-faced. This man¡¯s two-faced had reached a point where she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to touch him even if she flew to the sky. ¡°Scared?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked. Anhao rolled her eyes at her.¡± I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll appear in front of me half-dead and covered in blood again. Zuo Hancheng, do you know that I¡¯ll have nightmares?¡±¡± She deliberately emphasized the words ¡± half-dead ¡± to show that she did not want anything to happen to him again. However, Zuo Hancheng smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. Crazy! What are you laughing at! Anhao rolled her eyes at him, but she still felt uneasy as she turned around and looked out the window. The car had already driven into the manor. However, what surprised her was that after the huge explosion, although the manor did not look as glorious as before, there was no trace of smoke on the outside after the treatment. Only when the door opened and the car drove in did they see some empty places in the manor. It was obvious that many buildings had been blown up. No matter how urgent it was, the renovation and renovation could not be done so quickly. Most of the place was empty, but as they walked in, they gradually saw some people. However, those people seemed to be bodyguards or something. When their cars drove over, their expressions were serious and their eyes were very calm. It was impossible to tell if there was a trap here. ¡°Are you afraid of seeing blood?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in the extremely quiet car. Anhao suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She looked at him and saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s thin lips were slightly parted. It was rare for him to sound so emotionless. Zuo Hancheng was not a cold person, but his tone made Anhao feel cold to the bone. Before she could answer, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze had also turned to the window. Anhao looked at him in confusion, then looked at D. She saw that his attitude was very calm, but there seemed to be a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Anhao¡¯s eyes reflected the scene of those Russians getting their heads blown off that day. The ground was covered in blood and brain matter¡­ They had already seen it once, so they were more or less mentally prepared. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words were more or less a reminder and warning. Was there going to be blood here today? The black limousine slowly drove into an empty spot in the middle of the manor until it stopped at the side. The door did not open, but at this moment, Anhao saw someone. It was J. J¡¯s face and body were covered in injuries. He was brought out along with his accomplices who had plotted to kill Zuo Hancheng. The moment she saw those people being brought out, Anhao had already guessed what was going to happen here. Her hands and feet instantly turned cold from fright. However, as the gunshots rang out around her, her vision suddenly turned dark. Zuo Hancheng, who had stood up and walked behind her, covered her eyes with his hands. Chapter 821 - Chapter 821: Zuo Hancheng, Oath (1) Chapter 821: Zuo Hancheng, Oath (1) Zuo Hancheng¡¯s temperature was right in front of her eyes. His palm was so warm that it felt as if everything around her was not as scary as she had imagined. However, the consecutive gunshots were so real. They were so close to his ears, right in this empty space in the manor. Because her eyes were covered, her hearing was extremely sensitive. Anhao accurately heard a total of sixteen gunshots. At that time, with J and the rest of the people, including J, there were a total of 16 people. A bone-chilling chill engulfed Anhao¡¯s entire perception. Even though she knew that Zuo Hancheng was almost killed, and that J and the others had planned this trap and conspiracy, she still hated him. When she realized that death was right next to her, Anhao finally understood why Zuo Hancheng had left so suddenly, and what kind of feelings he had. This kind of world was indeed not suitable for Zuo Hancheng. He was not such a cold-blooded person. He had flesh and blood, and he had feelings. This kind of world would destroy him. His departure back then could not have been more correct. It was quiet outside. After a while, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still on her face, and his other hand was on her shoulder to comfort her. His voice sounded behind her,¡±¡±D, pull down the shade on the window.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Anhao suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand.¡±¡±I¡¯m already here and I can hear the sound. Even if I cover the window, I know what¡¯s going on outside.¡± When she pulled Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand down, her eyes were actually trembling so much that she did not dare to look out. However, she wanted to know what Zuo Hancheng had experienced ten years ago. She wanted to know the complete Zuo Hancheng, not just the Zuo Hancheng from A City. The moment he looked up, he saw a pile of corpses lying on the ground outside the car. Sixteen people were shot in the chest, and blood flowed down from the fatal spot on the chest. The ground was covered in blood. Fortunately, only the heart was hit, and there was only blood. There was no disgusting brain matter that she had seen that day. However, there were only corpses and blood on the ground. J, who had smiled strangely in front of her that day, was now lying quietly on the ground. He was injured all over. His heart was pierced and blood flowed everywhere. This scene made Anhao¡¯s face turn pale. Suddenly, her vision was blocked. Anhao paused for a moment when she saw the curtain suddenly being pulled down. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng who was beside her. ¡°Why did that person ask us to come here and watch them be executed? Who was that person? Could he take so many lives in an instant?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes were red. Although she tried her best to stay calm, seeing sixteen corpses and blood all over the ground in an instant was a shocking blow to her peaceful life. A cold glint flashed across Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes.¡±This is a gift from that person to us, even though it was delivered in a way that I didn¡¯t want to see.¡± Anhao suddenly laughed out loud, but her smile was a little cold.¡±How can there be such a terrifying person? Gift? What a surprise gift! I¡¯m afraid that the nightmare of my life will be covered by his gift today!¡± She was certain that Zuo Hancheng was not the mastermind behind this, but the mysterious person who had invited them. She couldn¡¯t understand why that person wanted her to come as well. Since they wanted to avenge Zuo Hancheng, they could only let Zuo Hancheng and D come. However, she remembered that they had clearly said that they wanted Mr. Zuo and Mrs. Zuo to come together. She had been afraid that something dangerous would happen, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be like this. Anhao suddenly reached out and pulled open the curtain on the window. She tried to ignore the bodies lying in the blood on the ground. Instead, she carefully looked at the people around her. The bodyguards and killers walked back and forth, preparing to drag the bodies away. However, she did not see the mastermind of today¡¯s scene. She really wanted to know what kind of terrifying person would use such a scene as a gift. Zuo Hancheng would not have liked this method of resolving the matter, but he had no choice but to come. It was obvious that the other party¡¯s status and identity could not be underestimated, and he was someone that Zuo Hancheng could not avoid for the time being. However, since he had used the word ¡± gift ¡°, it could be seen that the person cared a lot about Zuo Hancheng and had respect and a special friendship. Otherwise, the word ¡± show of strength ¡± might be more appropriate than ¡± gift ¡°. After failing to find the mastermind, Anhao put down the blackout cloth again, but she felt a chill run down her spine. Her consciousness often lingered on the scene of her carrying Zuo Hancheng, who was covered in blood, and hiding in the narrow space under the mountain cave on that rainy night. At that time, she really hated J for killing Zuo Hancheng. Now that J¡¯s body was lying outside, she did not feel happy at all. If it is her, if it is her, if it is ten years ago, if it is an opportunity, it will definitely leave this place, it is not a place. Anhao¡¯s mood was greatly affected, but Zuo Hancheng stood beside her and noticed the change in her mood. When Anhao suddenly sat down by the car window as if she had lost all her strength, but she no longer had the courage to open the blackout cloth, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on her pale face. ¡°Ten years ago, when I left all of this, I swore that I would never touch a gun again.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. His voice was clear and light, as if he was telling someone else¡¯s story. Anhao suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him, only to see Zuo Hancheng looking at her. Suddenly, Anhao calmed down from her intense emotions. She suddenly understood why Zuo Hancheng had been so silent just now. Even when she really looked out, he did not stop her. He was giving her a chance to understand him, a chance to get in touch with the Zuo Hancheng from ten years ago. The holes in the heads of those Russians and the hearts of these 16 people were like a terrifying black hole that could completely suck away human nature in Anhao¡¯s mind. Guns were scary things in her mind, but she had never seen a gun in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hands for so many days. If he said he would leave, he would leave. Even if he was in a trap now, he did not need to use guns and killing to solve the problem. Yet, someone was forcing him to go back down that path. Anhao suddenly felt that the person hiding in the dark was very scary. She did not know who that person was, but at this time, she trusted Zuo Hancheng unconditionally. ¡°You used ten years to completely clear your name, but it seems that someone is not willing to let you completely get rid of all that, right?¡±Anhao suddenly said,¡± If the other party forces you again and again, just like this situation, maybe this ¡®gift¡¯ is deliberately shown to us. He wants to force you. What should we do then?¡±¡± Chapter 822 - Chapter 822: Zuo Hancheng, Oath (2) Chapter 822: Zuo Hancheng, Oath (2) Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze lingered on Anhao¡¯s face. He looked at her for a long time but did not answer. However, Anhao seemed to have seen his indifference and strategizing. He seemed to have never considered what she was worried about now, or perhaps, he seemed to have made full preparations. Her considerations did not seem to be enough to cause any worry for the brother-in-law. ¡°As you can see, this isn¡¯t a world where reason is the most important. If you solve problems purely with morality and reason, there won¡¯t be any good results in the end.¡±Zuo Hancheng opened his mouth and looked at her. Anhao did not know why he was looking at her like that. He was looking at her with a gaze that she could not understand and had never seen before. ¡°Unless I have a trump card in my hand, a trump card that will prevent the other party from truly becoming my enemy.¡± His voice was very soft, so soft that only Anhao could hear it. There was still D here, but D just stood there quietly and did not interrupt. Ace? I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine, Could she be thinking too much? She blinked and looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, which seemed normal. It was not the same gaze that she had felt earlier. At this moment, someone suddenly came over from outside the car. The door was opened and a man in a black uniform stood outside and said respectfully,¡±Mr. Vllen, please get out of the car. Mr. Arel has been waiting for a long time.¡± Anhao suddenly turned around and looked at the man in black uniform outside the car door. Mr. Arel? The American mafia godfather? However, at this moment, D suddenly turned around and walked over. He said coldly,¡±Please tell Mr. Arel that Mr. Zuo has accepted your gift, but Mrs. Zuo is not feeling well. I¡¯m afraid she can¡¯t stay here for too long.¡± Outside the car, wearing a black uniform, the man looked at the car and saw that the so-called Mrs. Zuo¡¯s face was very bad. Although she was quite dissatisfied with their outspoken rejection, in the end, she still didn¡¯t say more. She just nodded and said,¡±I¡¯ll talk to Mr. Arel.¡± D did not say anything else, nor did he turn around to look at Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. It was obvious that they had already made plans before they came. No matter what the so-called gift was, he would just take a look. He would not interfere, not get involved, and not even meet him. Anhao did not want Zuo Hancheng to have any more contact with that so-called Mr. Arel. Seeing D¡¯s firm rejection, she was slightly relieved. A few minutes later, the man in the black uniform came back and nodded politely at them. Then, he turned around and asked the others to open the door again so that they could leave safely. Anhao did not expect Mr. Arel to let them leave safely. It was not until the black limousine they were in really drove out of the manor that she opened the window and looked out. Then, she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±Is he really just letting us see how he helps us solve our problems? He doesn¡¯t intend to force us to stay?¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her shoulder. The warmth from his palm made her frozen heart slowly melt and return to normal. Half a month later¡­ The day before they headed to New York, Zuo Hancheng brought Anhao to a place. It was the villa area that J had brought her to. Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain the day before yesterday, the originally hot weather finally had a comfortable coolness. Ever since Anhao was stabbed in the back by the glass, she often wore loose dresses that did not stick to her back. This was very different from her previous sporty style. The doctors and nurses who often took care of her recently thought that she was the kind of young girl. They asked people to buy many new clothes for her. The air in the villa area was clean. There was not as much smoke and blood as in Mr. Arel¡¯s manor after the explosion. Although no one had specially cleaned up the place for many years, it was still cleaned up as if someone was still living here. She was brought here by J back then, and now it was Zuo Hancheng who brought her here. The two types of heart mirrors were no longer the same. After walking for a while in the villa area, Anhao looked in the direction of the window where J had pointed a gun at her forehead through the French windows and said,¡±¡±I heard that this villa area was originally your place?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched. Why was a man so arrogant and calm? Wasn¡¯t he rich? Anhao walked in with him and found that the empty villas had been renovated and were very clean. ¡± These places that belong to you have never been destroyed by anyone. It seems that you have an unusual status in the hearts of those people. As a young man who had been involved in the underworld, only J and his gang have been hunting you down for so many years. Actually, if you think about it carefully, Zuo Hancheng, you are really successful. If it were anyone else who left this place just like that, I¡¯m afraid they would have been killed the moment they stepped out of the United States.¡± Anhao said as she looked around the villa area. The last time he was not in the mood to visit, he suddenly felt that the scenery here was not bad. Compared to the white European-style villa he stayed in a few days ago, this place seemed much bigger. Anhao¡¯s heart leaped with joy when she thought about how her husband¡¯s wealth was many times more than she had ever known and imagined.¡±¡±In the past, I only felt that I was muddle-headed. Now, I really feel like I¡¯m f * cking sucking up to a rich man!¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly stopped and glanced at her.¡±¡±As a couple¡¯s joint property, haven¡¯t you thought about learning some financial and business management knowledge to help your husband carefully share these worldly possessions?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re really willing to let me help you manage it, I¡¯ll accept it even if I have to soak in an ocean of books every day from now on!¡±Anhao thought that he was joking, so she stretched out her arm and bumped it against his arm while laughing. She said with a smile,¡±¡±When you were young, you mixed into Wall Street¡¯s financial industry and the American mafia¡¯s sphere of influence. In the end, you did not even fall behind in your studies. Everything was so flawless. When you were young, other than Rongxue, did any other woman have such a romantic first love with you?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±When I was young? Am I not young now?¡± ¡°I mean, you were just in your early twenties ten years ago, or you were seventeen or eighteen years old. If you¡¯re willing to tell me, I don¡¯t mind listening!¡± Anhao continued to give him an expression as if she was a good friend who should share his secrets with him. She bumped his arm with her shoulder. Chapter 823 - Chapter 823: This Position Is Too Shameful (1) Chapter 823: This Position Is Too Shameful (1) The sky gradually darkened, but Anhao¡¯s face was full of smiles. The lights in the villa suddenly turned on, making her face look even brighter than the morning sun. However, Zuo Hancheng did not answer her boring question. It was already the rainy season in New York. The two of them stood in front of the window of the villa and watched the rain outside. He did not say anything, and Anhao just looked at him. The injuries on his body had already recovered a lot, and his face was no longer as pale as before because of the careful recuperation over the past few days. ¡°What are your plans after you return to the Andersons?¡±The sound of the rain outside could be heard, but it was no longer the same mood as when they were hiding in the valley that night. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang out, Anhao subconsciously raised her head to look at the man beside her who had a calm expression. Ever since she found out from Zuo Hancheng that he probably knew about her father¡¯s identity, Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng had become more and more mysterious. Zuo Hancheng, who was standing in front of her, did not have much expression on his handsome face. His dark blue shirt made his handsome face look a little cold. ¡°Didn¡¯t you already help me make a choice?¡±Anhao looked up at the rain curtain outside the window.¡±¡±Since I¡¯ve already greeted the An family and visited them as a member of the Zuo family, they will definitely welcome me warmly on account of my family ties with the old master. In any case, they will only treat me as Mrs. Zuo and not someone who has anything to do with their family.¡± Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand held hers. His palm was very warm. Anhao lowered her head and looked at his hand. She leaned her head on his shoulder and narrowed her eyes.¡±After the Andersons ¡®matter is over, let¡¯s go straight back to A City, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer, but Anhao could feel his hand around her waist, giving her a more stable support. ¡°If you want to go back, go back.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and pulled her into his arms.¡±¡±I still owe you a wedding and wedding photos. It¡¯s time to fulfill them.¡± Anhao did not think too much about it, but her mood was ignited in an instant. She looked up and saw that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be joking. She could not help but grin.¡±Really? Are you planning to hold a wedding for me? You clearly confiscated my ring and haven¡¯t returned it to me yet.¡± Speaking of this, she had a complaint. Since they were not divorced, why did they confiscate the ring? It caused her to be unable to get back the role of Mrs. Zuo for a period of time because she did not know what Zuo Hancheng was up to. Anhao raised her right hand and waved it in front of him.¡±You told others that I was Mrs. Zuo, but they didn¡¯t even see a ring on my finger. How many people would think that you were joking? You haven¡¯t kept the wedding ring for so long, yet you¡¯re still calling me Mrs. Zuo every day, saying, what exactly are you planning?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss suddenly landed on her hand. At the same time, he glanced at her empty ring finger and moved his kiss to her ring finger again. This gentle and loving action made Anhao¡¯s fingertips tremble inexplicably. She quickly pulled her hand back, but he held it firmly. ¡°You deserve the best.¡± He didn¡¯t explain, but only said this sentence. When Anhao looked at him with a puzzled expression, he put his hand on the back of her head and gently caressed it. His gaze was as gentle as ever, but it made Anhao feel that this kind of gentleness was something she had never seen before. It was a strange and contradictory feeling¡­ After leaving the abandoned but guarded villa area and returning to the villa in the center of New York, Anhao was brought back to her room by the nurse and told to take her medicine. It was just that she ate half an hour later than usual, but the nurse kept nagging at her, saying that she had saved her life from the gates of hell. It was already a blessing that she could recover so quickly and go out with Mr. Zuo often. She told her to cherish her life and not delay taking her medicine all day. She also said that if she didn¡¯t take care of her body, she might not be able to keep the baby even if she got pregnant in the future because of her unhealthy body. These elders who used to be by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side were really worried about their lives¡­ Fortunately, Anhao¡¯s wound had completely healed, and the scab on her wound had gradually fallen off. Today, she was finally allowed to take a shower in the bathroom instead of taking a shower every few times. Anhao excitedly took the medicine and ran into the bathroom with a change of clothes. She even told the nurse not to disturb her. She had not been able to take a shower for more than 20 days. She had to take a shower in the bathroom for an hour. The nurse couldn¡¯t do anything about her, and she didn¡¯t lock the door when she left. It was also to make it easier for Anhao to run in and help her if she had a small accident while she was bathing. Anhao couldn¡¯t care less about that now. Who could understand the desire of a person who hadn¡¯t bathed for more than 20 days? She first showered in the bathroom and then lay in the bathtub to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by hot water. An hour passed quickly. It was not until she felt a little dizzy from the bath that she got up and wrapped herself in a towel. She grabbed her hair that was still wet from the towel and opened the bathroom door to walk out. ¡°You¡¯ve been showering for so long.¡± As soon as she walked out, Anhao was shocked by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. She suddenly looked up at Hancheng on the left. There was still water dripping down from her wet hair. Although it was not much, the sound of water dripping onto the ground still made Anhao lose her mind for a moment. When she came back to her senses, Zuo Hancheng was already sitting by her bed. Anhao continued to dry her hair with a towel and said,¡±¡±For so many days, there were nurses helping me wipe my body every day, but just wiping was useless. It was simply torture to recuperate in such hot weather. The wound was already extremely itchy when it was healing. In addition, I haven¡¯t bathed for so long. I feel like a group of flies would fly at me as soon as I go out.¡± As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at Zuo Hancheng, who looked refreshed.¡±I¡¯m not like you. You can¡¯t help but want to take a shower before your wound has healed. I heard that the doctors are worried about you. They¡¯re afraid that your wound will get infected, that you¡¯ll have a fever, and that something will happen to you. I was so obedient and persevered until I was finally allowed to touch the water. Only then did I take a shower to my heart¡¯s content. It doesn¡¯t matter if I took an hour or two, I¡¯m more obedient than you.¡± As she spoke, Anhao spun around in front of him smugly.¡±That¡¯s why I¡¯m recovering so quickly. I reckon it¡¯ll take another 10 days to half a month. When two punks stand in front of me, I¡¯ll be able to beat them to the ground with three punches and two kicks ¡° Chapter 824 - Chapter 824: This Position Is Too Shameful (2) Chapter 824: This Position Is Too Shameful (2) However, Zuo Hancheng was sitting by her bedside. He glanced at her as she spun around in front of him and said,¡±¡±Take off the towel and let me see.¡± Anhao, who was spinning in circles, stopped in her tracks and almost fell to the ground. She turned to look at him.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes did not have any intention of teasing her. He only looked at her shoulders that were much thinner than before and said calmly,¡±¡±Let me see your injuries.¡± Anhao subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, before she could reject him, her body suddenly floated in the air. Zuo Hancheng had already picked her up and placed her on the big bed under her surprised gaze. Anhao wanted to say that the wound on her back was much better. The doctor had also said that the scar would definitely be removed. It would not affect her appearance, and it would not stay on her back and remind her of the thrilling process every time she saw it. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was firm. He did not give her a chance to reject him and pulled the towel off her body. The temperature of the air-conditioner in the room was moderate. Anhao had just come out of the shower when the towel suddenly left her body and she felt a chill all over her body. She instinctively raised her hands and hugged her chest tightly before curling up again. Zuo Hancheng saw the wound on her back that had already healed as she turned and curled up. There were no longer any blood stains on the wounds on her back because she had recovered better. Now, only the tender new flesh could be seen from the wounds. However, there was a certain difference between the new flesh and Anhao¡¯s originally fair skin. The marks left behind were completely displayed in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. Anhao realized that he was looking at her back, so she quickly turned around and lay on the bed to prevent him from looking.¡±¡±Don¡¯t look at it. It¡¯s so ugly now. You should wait until the color is lighter before it won¡¯t look so scary¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand flipped her over again. ¡°Aiya, stop looking. It¡¯s so ugly! What was there to see about the wound? Besides, you have more injuries than me. I didn¡¯t even dare to look at you, so why did you come to see me? If you continue to mess around, I¡¯ll tear your clothes off!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s actions were not gentle. After he pulled the towel off her body, his gaze fell from her back to her legs. The cuts on Anhao¡¯s legs from the tall grass were not very serious. After applying the ointment for so many days, she could not see it clearly. He needed to look at it carefully to see how many more wounds she had when she was by his side. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on her ankle again. There were two faint yellow spots on the spot where the snake had bitten him, but it was no longer black or green. Feeling Zuo Hancheng looking at her ankle, Anhao felt a sense of shame. Damn it, this was the first time he had stared at her feet after being married for so long. If she had not been bitten by a snake previously, she would have thought that Zuo Hancheng had developed some kind of perverted hobby! She tried to pull her leg away from his palm, but just as she resisted, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was tightly gripping her ankle. Anhao immediately lowered her head and looked at him. Her face instantly turned hot as she wanted to kick him away.¡±Bastard! Where are you looking?¡± Zuo Hancheng had been checking on her wounds. He felt sorry for this girl. How could he have wanted to touch her when she had just recovered? However, this girl had an expression as if she was guarding against a wolf. At this moment, her face was red as she struggled with her legs. Any normal man would definitely have a reaction to this, not to mention that ever since this woman came back from Boston, the number of times they had been together could be counted on five fingers. ¡°Are you sure everything is fine?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao¡¯s face as if he did not have any special thoughts, but his hand was still holding onto her ankle. The more Anhao struggled to shake his hand off, the more firmly he held onto it. Because of her continuous struggle, her face had already turned red. ¡°Alright, alright, it¡¯s all fine. There¡¯s no need to wait for another ten days or half a month. Now, even if some hooligan dares to offend me in front of me, I can directly dismember his arms and legs. If you don¡¯t believe me, I¡¯ll go downstairs and find D and the others to practice. I¡¯ll let you see if my skills haven¡¯t decreased at all.¡± In the next moment, Anhao froze. Her face instantly turned red. It was because Zuo Hancheng had already pressed down on her, trapping her firmly in the middle of the bed. She knew that she shouldn¡¯t have let him have his way just now. She shouldn¡¯t have let him take off the towel. Previously, when both of them were half-dead, he definitely couldn¡¯t do anything to her. Now that her injuries were healed, she only showed off in front of him a little, and in the end¡­Just like that, he was unlucky enough to fall into the tiger¡¯s mouth again. And this posture! It was simply a shameful play! ¡°That¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s attitude changed immediately. She smiled and said,¡±¡±I think I might need to rest for a few more days. The doctor said that I can¡¯t do any strenuous exercise¡­¡± However, that strange feeling made Anhao¡¯s strength completely unable to withstand his strength¡­ Chapter 825 - Chapter 825: This Position Is Too Shameful (3) Chapter 825: This Position Is Too Shameful (3) Zuo Hancheng was obviously not planning to control his sudden desire. Even though he had always been a man with strong self-control, all his self-control and rationality had been exhausted when he saw the girl¡¯s reckless kicking action. Since he had almost recovered, and since he had to prove that there was no problem with his body, instead of looking for D and the others to practice, it was better to practice alone with him. Of course, Zuo Hancheng did not say this, but his actions showed his purpose. The tip of the finger of the well, the point of no good, the point of no good, the point of no good, He suddenly chuckled and bent down to kiss her on the lips. His other hand gently caressed her slightly cold skin at the same time. When he caressed the wounds on her back, his movements became even gentler. Because Anhao had showered for too long, the newly grown flesh and skin on her back were exceptionally soft and felt great to the touch. ¡°Are your injuries alright?¡± Anhao asked subconsciously, but Zuo Hancheng lowered his head and kissed her deeply on the lips. His kiss went from gentle to deep and then to a little fierce, making Anhao speechless. She placed her hand on his shoulder and looked at him with a worried expression as she endured his kiss. She was afraid that his rare moment of impulsiveness would cause unnecessary consequences, such as whether his wound would open or something¡­ However, Zuo Hancheng still stubbornly barged into her mouth and even invaded every part of her mouth, as if he wanted to imprint everything about him on her. It was only when his hands gradually stopped touching her body that Anhao asked worriedly,¡±¡±The injuries on your body¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m injured. I¡¯m more than enough to practice with you.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled meaningfully. At the same time, he suddenly lowered his waist so fast and violently that Anhao was sure that there was no problem with his injury! His voice was almost squeezed out from his throat, and his movements were heavy and deep. Anhao¡¯s body moved up and down under him passively. She was blushing at first, but now she remembered everything that happened in the cave that night because of their intimate interaction. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She raised her arms and hugged his neck tightly, kissing him back passionately. They were still alive, and she could still feel his presence. This was great! ¡°If you have the ability, don¡¯t suffer such serious injuries again. Don¡¯t scare me like that day when you were covered in blood¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was a little broken by the impact of the collision, but she still insisted on finishing her sentence. When Zuo Hancheng pulled her into his embrace, she buried her face in his chest to feel his strength and warmth. Anhao kept her face in his embrace, greedily inhaling the scent of his body, her hands tightly hugging his shoulders. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s energy was beyond her imagination. He had just recovered from his injuries, but he was so strong that it was as if he had never been injured. Anhao had a long dream. In her dream, she saw Zuo Hancheng covered in blood, even more than the one in the cave that day. She saw Zuo Hancheng walking towards her in the fire. She saw Zuo Hancheng reach out his hand and smile at her. The blood all over his body was especially bright in the fire. She cried and shouted at him, but she could only watch helplessly as he walked towards the fire covered in blood until his figure disappeared. In the dream, Anhao cried her heart out. She had never cried like that in her life. It was only when she felt the wetness on both sides of her cheeks that she opened her eyes abruptly. The sky was already bright. It had been rainy yesterday, but it had suddenly cleared up today. She could feel the good weather outside the window through the curtains. However, Anhao raised her hand to touch the wet marks on her face. Then, she suddenly turned her eyes to the side and realized that Zuo Hancheng was not there. She had thought that it was a nightmare, but when she reached out to touch the bed, the coolness of the bedsheets indicated that Zuo Hancheng had left the bed for a long time. Anhao hurriedly lifted the blanket and ran out of bed. Without even putting on her indoor slippers, she ran to the door and opened it to look outside. It was still early, and the nurses, doctors, and servants were not on this floor. Anhao was about to run out when she suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice behind her. ¡°Why did you wake up so early?¡± Anhao turned around abruptly and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out of the room not far away from this floor. He was holding a glass of water and a box of medicine to help with the recovery of external injuries. It was obviously time to take his medicine and he was about to pour some hot water. Seeing that he was standing there safe and sound, his eyes were clear, and it seemed that he had been in that room for a long time. Anhao finally pulled herself out of the nightmare. She adjusted her thin nightgown and walked straight towards him. When she arrived in front of him, she looked at the room behind him and realized that it was a study. ¡°You didn¡¯t sleep?¡± Anhao asked as she looked at the computer in the study.¡±¡±I haven¡¯t fully recovered from my injuries. Last night, I¡­¡± She paused for a moment before saying,¡±It¡¯s so late again. Did you not sleep at all?¡± You came here after I fell asleep?¡± ¡°I was planning to sleep. The initial plan of the domestic company was that I would return after half a month in the United States. Now that it has been delayed for so long, there are many company documents that need me to review personally. Mobai knows about my situation and has already done what he and the vice president can do for me. However, there are still some big projects that need me to sign personally. Last night was the time for an important project meeting in City A, so I came over for a video conference. At the same time, she looked at some company documents. Unknowingly, it had taken so long.¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and walked back into the study. He put down the cup of water and the medicine in his hand. When Anhao walked in, he picked up a thin coat and covered her with it.¡±It¡¯s summer in New York, and the temperature in the morning is not as high as in China. It¡¯s a little cold. Remember to wear an extra layer of clothes when you come out.¡± Anhao looked at the documents displayed on the computer screen. It was indeed Shengling Group¡¯s company documents. It was then that she realized that she and Zuo Hancheng had not returned to the United States after such a long time. However, Anhao¡¯s heart felt uneasy when she thought about the dream that she had previously. She did not care if Zuo Hancheng was in danger or if he was working without sleep or rest. She was extremely disgusted by anything that threatened his health and safety. Chapter 826 - Chapter 826: This Position Is Too Shameful (4) Chapter 826: This Position Is Too Shameful (4) Seeing that the documents in the company had been reviewed and had been signed by Zuo Hancheng with an electronic pen and sent back, she suddenly raised her hand to turn off the computer and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.¡±Go to sleep after you take your medicine. If Mobai calls again, I¡¯ll answer it!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you feel good yesterday?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Why are there so many dark clouds today?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t want to say that she was a little angry because she had a nightmare. She stood in front of him without caring about anything else. Her eyes were firm.¡±Anyway, you have to rest when you should. Nothing is more important than your life. Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯ve said it a long time ago. Regardless of whether you died from overwork or if you¡¯re in danger because of what happened in the United States, you¡¯re under my control now!¡± ¡°You¡¯re in charge of me?¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly laughed.¡± These four words repeated in his mouth, and it actually sounded like there was a different meaning. Anhao didn¡¯t analyze the meaning behind his words. She just looked at him coldly.¡± In the past, you were the one who controlled me and restricted me. From now on, Zuo Hancheng, I, Gu Anhao, am destined to be involved in your future life. It¡¯s only right for me to control my husband!¡± As she spoke, she handed him the medicine.¡±There¡¯s warm water in my room. Drink your medicine and sleep!¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed, but Anhao did not give him a chance to speak and pushed him out of the study.¡±¡±If Mobai dares to call again and disturb your rest, I¡¯ll definitely cut him into pieces when I return to the country!¡± After being pushed back to Anhao¡¯s room, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be a little helpless against her, but he did not choose to go back to the study room. He sat back on the bed and enjoyed Anhao¡¯s actions of personally pouring water for him to drink the medicine. At the same time, he looked at her expression as if she had suddenly become a housekeeper and smiled lightly.¡±I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to sleep for long. The appointment with the Andersons is in the afternoon, so we still have to go out in the morning.¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t care about the An family at all. Zuo Hancheng was the last person she wanted to lose in this world right now. All the other people, including her mother who had abandoned her and her extra daughter, could get lost. Nothing was more important than Zuo Hancheng living well with her! Zuo Hancheng glanced at her and said softly,¡±¡±Help your dear mother pick out a gift.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes, which had been staring at him all this while, suddenly stiffened. She suddenly picked up her phone and looked at the date. July 31st. ¡°Why did you choose to accompany me back to the Andersons today?¡±Anhao looked at him.¡± You know very well that today is her death anniversary.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question. Instead, he stretched out his arm and wrapped it around her waist. He pulled her over and let her sit on his lap in his arms. Both of them had showered after the incident last night. Anhao fell into a deep sleep while Zuo Hancheng did not sleep the entire night. However, the fragrance of the same shower gel on both of them was very pleasant. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand gently clasped her waist as he looked down at Anhao, who was in his arms with a calm expression.¡±¡±To you, it¡¯s the day of the death of her, but to her, it¡¯s the same.¡± Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Seeing the love in his eyes, she suddenly raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder.¡±Then you sleep for a while. I¡¯ll clean up. I¡¯ll get D to send someone to buy the gift.¡± Seeing Zuo Hancheng raise his eyebrows, Anhao said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no need to buy anything special. Just get someone to buy it back.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and stroked her soft hair.¡±¡±Then let¡¯s sleep together. We¡¯ll get up at noon to pack. What do you want to pack now?¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, and she raised her neck to show him.¡±¡±Then, on the neck, shoulder, collarbone, and body¡­¡± She rolled her eyes as she spoke. Why do you think I¡¯m going to pack? Every time, you make me embarrassed to go out and meet people for a few days! I¡¯ll really have to study it later to see if there¡¯s any suitable foundation that can temporarily cover these.¡± Zuo Hancheng, on the other hand, smiled hoarsely and hugged her tightly in his arms when she pulled her clothes away to show him the marks. At the same time, he leaned down and kissed her ear gently, causing Anhao to tremble again. She quickly raised her hand and pushed him away.¡±Don¡¯t mess around anymore. The injuries on your body haven¡¯t healed yet. Hurry up and sleep.¡± ¡°This is evidence that I love you. What¡¯s there to hide?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s low and hoarse voice lingered in her ears. When Anhao heard the words ¡± I love you ¡± and leaned into his embrace, she suddenly turned her face over and kissed her lips as she spoke. It was the first time she had heard Zuo Hancheng say those words. In the past, he had only said ¡± Baby, I love you ¡± once when they were having sex, but he had never said those words so seriously. Perhaps if she really wanted to say it, it would be so vulgar that it was completely not Zuo Hancheng¡¯s style. However, the moment she finally heard it, Anhao suddenly felt a rare sense of peace that made her calm down. Anhao had been glaring at him like a housekeeper and asking him to go to sleep just now, but now, her shoulders were half exposed under her nightdress. She was sitting in his arms in a daze and sticking tightly to his embrace. ¡°Mrs. Zuo.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her ear again and gradually moved down to the tender skin between her neck and shoulders. He said in a low voice,¡±¡±I¡¯m sure you¡¯re getting more and more beautiful now. You¡¯ve reached the point where you can seduce me easily. But if you continue to look at me like that, I¡¯m afraid your body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± As he spoke, he held her tightly in his arms. Anhao suddenly came back to her senses and understood what he meant. She was about to jump out of his arms and retreat, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s palm had already caressed the back of her head and forcefully pressed her down. A lingering kiss swept towards her. The An family was located in Manhattan, New York. This was a well-known wealthy district in New York. It was said that one might accidentally step on a prince¡¯s foot while walking in Central Park. Even so, the seemingly ordinary black Maybach that Anhao was riding in still attracted the attention of passers-by. This car had undergone various seemingly inconspicuous modifications, and its bulletproof technology could definitely be considered one of the top ten in the world. Those who really knew about this modification technology would be able to see that the price of this modification was enough to buy dozens of Maybachs. Even if the president¡¯s car passed by, it would not attract much attention. Of course, Anhao sat in the car and didn¡¯t pay attention to the passers-by who occasionally looked at the car in surprise. She only looked at the gifts that were casually bought by others. Ever since she got into the car and felt that she was getting closer and closer to the An family, Anhao didn¡¯t say a word. Chapter 827 - Chapter 827: An Anjia in the United States (1) Chapter 827: An Anjia in the United States (1) Compared to the coquettish and meek Anhao who was in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms in the morning, Anhao was like a hedgehog who had suddenly put up all her defenses despite her silence. It was as if she had returned to the rebellious era. Her entire body seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of thorns that did not allow anyone to approach her. Anping not dying was definitely the greatest irony to her. Today was the anniversary of Anping¡¯s death. In Anhao¡¯s mind, it was the eighth anniversary of her mother¡¯s death. After today, it would be the ninth year of her mother¡¯s death. ¡°I¡¯ve asked someone to investigate in advance. Anping is still in Los Angeles and hasn¡¯t returned. When you arrive at the An family, the first people you¡¯ll see will be the old master and old madam of the An family.¡±Zuo Hancheng suddenly said something. His voice was not loud, but it brought Anhao back to her senses. At the same time, his hand was suddenly held by him. Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and saw that his expression was calm, but because of this sentence, she was instantly refreshed. Are they still in Los Angeles? The other day, Anhao heard the girl say that she was accompanying her to see a doctor. At that time, Anhao didn¡¯t hear clearly what kind of illness it was, but why was she still in Los Angeles after so long? Could it be that there was someone they knew there? The black Maybach slowly drove in front of the An family¡¯s door. When she finally saw the so-called An family, Anhao¡¯s gaze stayed outside the car window. Although it was located in the wealthy district of Manhattan, it was not connected to the manors and villas. Instead, it was a huge house with a fake mountain and artificial lake. Although the An family¡¯s manor was not as large as the Zuo family¡¯s, it was small and exquisite. It was not small at all. How could a house that was two to three thousand square meters be called small? Every part of the house seemed to be a luxurious scene. It could be seen that the owner of this house was meticulous and meticulous. The black Maybach slowly drove to the parking lot inside the An family¡¯s residence. The first thing they saw was an old man who was about the same age as Old Master Zuo and a few servants who followed him out. Before An Hao came here, he already knew that the old man and the old lady of the An family were still alive. However, he did not expect that although Old Master An was about the same age as Old Master Zuo, Old Master An did not need a walking stick and looked more energetic than Old Master Zuo. Standing in the crowd, one could see the aura of a powerful old man from his body at a glance. Anhao didn¡¯t know much about the An family¡¯s status in the United States, but she knew that it wasn¡¯t bad compared to the Zuo family. Moreover, since she could be considered a family friend of the Zuo family, she reckoned that even if the An family wasn¡¯t a world-renowned Zuo family business like the Zuo family, they should be a person with a certain status in New York. There were indeed some Chinese people in power in New York. After all, they were also American citizens. They wouldn¡¯t be banned from certain official positions just because they had Chinese blood flowing in their veins. Anhao sat in the car and looked at the old man until the door slowly opened. After Zuo Hancheng got out of the car, he looked back at her and reached out his hand to her. Anhao¡¯s calm eyes were filled with curiosity about the An family and her relationship with Old Master An. If she was really a child of the An family, then this old man should be her grandfather. However, it was obvious that this grandfather did not know of his existence. From the moment she got out of the car, Old Master An sized her up as if he was looking at the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family. At the same time, his gaze was very polite. Anhao was dressed in a casual suit today. She was wearing a skin-tight light-colored shirt and a simple lemon yellow knitted blouse. Her hair was not tied into a ponytail as usual. Instead, it was tied into a Chinese style bun that the servants in the villa had carefully braided for her. She looked youthful and energetic, yet graceful and noble. When Zuo Hancheng helped her out of the car, many people suddenly looked at her. Even Old Master An¡¯s gaze, which was originally observing the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family, gradually changed. Anhao and Anping looked very similar when they were young. Every time they picked up a photo of Anping in the past, anyone would find that she looked at least 70% to 80% similar to the young Anping in the photo. Seventy to eighty percent. This could no longer be described as just a resemblance. After Anhao got out of the car, her appearance seemed a little abrupt. She looked up and met the gaze of Old Master An and the servants. She nodded politely at them and walked over with Zuo Hancheng. Old Master An¡¯s gaze had already turned away when they walked over. He turned to look at Zuo Hancheng and a smile appeared in his eyes.¡±A few days ago, I heard that you were in New York too, and you had made an appointment to visit the An family today. I¡¯ve been waiting for you all day, and you¡¯ve finally arrived.¡± ¡°Elder An¡¯s body looks even stronger than ten years ago.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he handed the gifts that D had sent someone to buy to the An family¡¯s servant. ¡°Is that so? Compared to your Old Zuo, my body seems to be much healthier than his. I heard that not long ago, Old Zuo suddenly fell ill, which made me very anxious, afraid that he would walk in front of me.¡±Elder An looked at Zuo Hancheng with a smile as if he was looking at a young man whom he had always admired. The smile in his eyes was absolutely real, and he seemed to be very happy about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arrival. ¡°Grandfather did stay in the hospital for a few days not long ago. Fortunately, he was fine. As long as he recuperates at home, he should be able to live another 20 to 30 years.¡±When Zuo Hancheng walked in front of the old man, his attitude was calm and showed some respect from a junior to an elder. This feeling was very appropriate. It was not too humble, but it was not too distant and arrogant. ¡°That¡¯s good. When we were young, we often traveled everywhere together. The furthest and most dangerous place we¡¯ve been to was the South Pole. At that time, we relied on our endless physical strength and dared to climb the glacier that was forbidden to enter. At that time, we almost died there. Fortunately, a fleet passed by and saved us from the glacier.¡± Elder An recalled his younger days and smiled at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±Speaking of which, I have been carefully nurturing the Ice Blue that I, Old Zuo, brought back for many years. I was only counting the number of rare species that had been planted in the United States, but I forgot that time had passed so quickly. Han Cheng had grown up from such a tall child and had a family.¡± Chapter 828 - Chapter 828: The Andersons in America (2) Chapter 828: The Andersons in America (2) As he spoke, Grandpa An looked at Ann carefully.¡±This must be Mrs. Zuo? Hancheng¡¯s wife?¡± Anhao smiled faintly.¡± I heard about you when you were young from Grandfather Chang Zai. I didn¡¯t expect to see you in person today. Greetings, Elder An.¡±¡± ¡°Good, good, good. This child is really sweet. What can he hear about my youth from Old Zuo? Isn¡¯t it all about the two of us going on adventures together and quarreling with each other all day?¡±Elder An smiled as he looked at Anhao, then at Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±However, I was surprised that you suddenly came to visit.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯m in New York. I remembered that I haven¡¯t seen Elder An for many years and happened to receive a call from my old master. He instructed me to prepare some gifts to visit.¡±Zuo Hancheng curled his lips slightly. Grandpa An was delighted.¡±Is that so? I thought that Old Zuo had already forgotten about me. Although our two families are old friends, we have been estranged from each other for the past few years because I have never contacted Old Zuo.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Old Zuo¡¯s temper is really stubborn as he gets older. A few years ago, I heard that you were forced to move Shengling Group to China because of your granddaughter. I was so angry that I called him and scolded him. The result was good. Old Zuo didn¡¯t contact me for the past few years. He obviously hated me for what I said to him back then!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know about this. In that case, you haven¡¯t contacted our old master for more than eight years?¡±Zuo Hancheng said lightly with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? After all, we were brothers for most of our lives. When I heard that you had left, I was so angry that I scolded Elder Zuo. Actually, I didn¡¯t go too far. It was just that you were definitely given to him by God. He actually drove such a good child away. I was really angry at that time. If I had such a good grandson like you, I would treat you like a treasure all day long.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and sighed,¡±Elder An¡¯s words are too serious.¡±¡± Elder An laughed for a while before suddenly saying,¡±Don¡¯t just stand here. Let¡¯s go inside and talk. Hancheng, since you brought your wife here, can you stay with us for a few days?¡± ¡°It depends on the situation. There are still some things that need me to go back personally to the company in China recently. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t stay in New York for long.¡±When Zuo Hancheng answered correctly, his attitude seemed nonchalant, but he was so tactful that Elder An could not find out his true intentions. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, if you can¡¯t stay any longer, you can at least stay for a few days. Besides, judging from Mrs. Zuo¡¯s expression, is it because you¡¯ve been traveling recently? She looks very tired. Why don¡¯t you stay here for a few days to rest? I happen to have an old Chinese doctor here from China. Let the old Chinese doctor take Mrs. Zuo¡¯s pulse and see if she needs to eat.¡± At this point, Grandpa An suddenly looked at Anhao, who had been silent all this while.¡±¡±By the way, Hancheng, I haven¡¯t heard any news about your marriage. Seeing Mrs. Zuo today, I remembered that you¡¯re not young anymore. When do you plan to have a child?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze immediately drifted to Zuo Hancheng, only to see him smiling faintly. His tone was still so casual that no one could tell his emotions.¡±I¡¯m already prepared. If I¡¯m fast, I¡¯ll give birth next year.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She wasn¡¯t pregnant yet, so how could she give birth? However, she was not sure about next year. If she was really pregnant recently, she could indeed give birth next year¡­ For some reason, her thoughts suddenly turned to these aspects. When Anhao came back to her senses, she saw that everyone had already entered the An family¡¯s main residence. Grandpa An politely gestured for the servants in the An family to prepare the banquet. He also gestured for Zuo Hancheng and Anhao to sit on the soft and luxurious single-seater sofa in the front hall of the main residence. Although the An family was also a Chinese family, it was inevitable that they would have some Chinese style hidden in all the designs of this house, just like many Chinese families with old people in the family. Apart from the European-style sofa furniture in the bright front hall, Anhao also saw some Chinese-styled armchairs and eight square tables in the side hall. She didn¡¯t know if they were used to entertain special guests or were just Old Master An¡¯s collections. ¡°Although I¡¯ve already prepared before you came here, I¡¯m the only one in this house. I don¡¯t know what you young people like. Since you¡¯ve been in China for so many years, you must have a deep affection for the tea there. I¡¯ve specially prepared some Biluochun tea for you. It¡¯s not an ordinary Biluochun tea.¡± When Zuo Hancheng and Old Master An were chatting and drinking tea, Anhao sat at the side and did not move. She just quietly observed the front hall. She felt that most of the things here were related to Old Master An, and there was no trace of An Ping at all. She was not very clear about An Ping¡¯s situation in the An family, but An Ping was Old Master An¡¯s daughter. However, there was no photo of An Ping or anything related to her in the front hall, let alone a photo of the girl beside An Ping. Just as she was puzzled, she suddenly heard Old Master An tease,¡±Elder Zuo had discussed with me for several years, but I couldn¡¯t bear to share half of the Biluochun tea with him. I bought it from an old tea farmer in Suzhou, China, and it would never taste the same in this world. I couldn¡¯t bear to share it with your grandfather. In the end, your grandfather was so angry that he specially sent people to Suzhou to look for that tea farmer, but he couldn¡¯t find him. Instead, he bought the Biluochun tea from the east and west mountains of Suzhou. It¡¯s said that he couldn¡¯t taste it even after drinking it for several years. When I heard about this, I laughed so hard that I was about to suffocate, haha¡­¡± Anhao turned to look at the smiling Old Master An. She suddenly realized that although Elder An looked serious and had the demeanor of a high and mighty ruler, she did not expect him to be such an easy-going old man who liked to joke. ¡°You and my grandfather have been brothers for most of your life, and you have also quarreled for most of your life. If this relationship is broken just like that, I¡¯m afraid that even this junior will be unable to help but sigh.¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly. Old Master An sighed softly.¡±Sigh, we¡¯ve been quarreling for most of our lives, and we¡¯ve never been convinced by each other. But there¡¯s one thing I have to admit about Han City.¡± Before Zuo Hancheng could say anything, Old Master An sighed with a melancholic expression. He suddenly looked at Anhao and said,¡±¡±At least Old Zuo has a lot of children and grandchildren now. Even his granddaughter-in-law is about to get pregnant. It won¡¯t be long before he can hold a great-grandson. As for me, let alone grandchildren, I don¡¯t even have a grandson. How can I talk about a great-grandson?¡± Hearing this, Anhao raised her eyes and looked in Grandpa An¡¯s direction. Chapter 829 - Chapter 829: The Andersons in America (3) Chapter 829: The Andersons in America (3) The living room of the An family¡¯s main residence suddenly became very quiet. It was because of Anhao¡¯s surprised look that Old Master An noticed something strange because of the inexplicable familiarity in her expression. Anhao didn¡¯t want her identity to be too abrupt, so she suddenly smiled and asked,¡±¡±I heard that Mr. Anderson¡¯s family is harmonious. How can he not have grandchildren? He must be joking.¡± If it wasn¡¯t because she knew the situation, Anhao would never have said such abrupt words to mock him. But now, the only thing she could say was this. Elder An didn¡¯t think she was being rude. He smiled and said,¡±Didn¡¯t Mrs. Zuo just say that she often heard Old Zuo mention me? When he was mocking me in front of you, did he not mention that the Andersons have no successor? This should be the most important thing for Old Zuo to step on me, but he didn¡¯t tell you?¡± Elder An¡¯s words sounded a little sour. Anhao blinked and smiled.¡±Grandfather indeed didn¡¯t mention these things.¡± Old Master An sighed and laughed.¡± Forget it if I¡¯ve never mentioned it before. I don¡¯t have to mention it. However, there are not many people in the An family in Han City. Only the two of us are often at home. There are very few young people in the family. Since you¡¯re here, listen to me. Stay for a few more days before leaving.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not agree or decline. He merely glanced in Anhao¡¯s direction all of a sudden, as if he wanted Elder An to see that he wanted to hear his wife¡¯s thoughts. Hence, Elder An turned his attention to Anhao again.¡±This¡­ It¡¯s Mrs. Zuo¡¯s first time in the An family, so you should at least let us entertain you well. Besides, I feel like we hit it off well. Besides, we¡¯ve liked Han City since a long time ago. I¡¯m happier than any holiday that you two can come.¡± ¡°Since Elder An is so kind, and since this junior has already come, I really shouldn¡¯t be in a hurry to leave.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was neither soft nor light, and he suddenly added,¡±¡±Anhao, Elder An doesn¡¯t have any children and only has a daughter by his side. Since Elder An feels that you hit it off, why don¡¯t you stay here for a few days?¡± When Elder An heard this, he was about to say that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth was as vicious as his grandfather¡¯s. He seemed to be polite and respectful, but he was mocking him like his grandfather. As expected, like father, like grandson. However, before he could speak, he suddenly paused and looked at Anhao with a slightly surprised expression. ¡°Anhao? Is this Mrs. Zuo¡¯s real name?¡± Anhao saw the surprise in Elder An¡¯s eyes and smiled at him calmly. She did not nod or shake her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Mrs. Zuo to have the surname An. This is really fate.¡±Grandpa An laughed again, but his gaze on Anhao deepened. No one knew what he was thinking about. After looking at her for a while, he looked away from her. For some reason, he sighed. Seeing that Elder An was about to say something but didn¡¯t say it, and suddenly seemed to have a lot on his mind, Anhao sat on the sofa. She actually wanted to stand up and say that he actually had a granddaughter in this world. If Old Master Zuo could really have a great-grandson next year, Elder An could also have a great-grandson at the same time. But she held back. Initially, she had come with the intention of seeing the An family. She wanted to see these people from the perspective of a bystander and see these so-called blood-related relatives who did not even know of her existence. She had thought that she could just watch from the sidelines. However, when she heard Elder An¡¯s words, she suddenly did not know what to do. If he really wanted her as his granddaughter, why would Anping leave her in the country and return to China alone? How could he bear to let his old father have such a lifetime of regrets? What was the reason for not allowing her to enter the An family and not even letting Old Master An know of her existence? Anhao watched as Elder An suddenly turned around to instruct the servants. She sat quietly on the sofa without moving, but her eyes were no longer as cold as when she came. Instead, there was a hint of confusion hidden in them. Suddenly, her hand was held by Zuo Hancheng. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting beside her, and saw that he was looking at her with a gaze that made her calm down. Anhao smiled back at him, meaning that she was fine. She just couldn¡¯t figure it out, but she wouldn¡¯t do anything rash. After experiencing so many things, she was no longer the Gu Anhao who used to be full of thorns. Even though she might suddenly have a lot of thorns growing on her body because she walked into the house, before she figured out the truth, she would rather hide all these thorns and not hurt anyone for the time being. She did not want to poke through this window paper. Anhao did not expect that she would move into the An family with Zuo Hancheng. She thought that she was just visiting and taking a look. It was not until she and Zuo Hancheng were arranged to stay in a quiet and elegant attic in the back of the An family¡¯s residence that she believed that she was really staying in the An family. When they arrived, it was in the afternoon. Grandpa An was especially kind and said that he would hold a welcoming banquet for them in the evening. He also said that Mrs. Anderson, who was in the ancestral hall all year round, would also come. Just now, when the servants were preparing the room for them, Anhao heard the two servants whispering to each other that Mrs. Anderson had been living and eating in the An family¡¯s ancestral hall for eight years and would not come out to have dinner with Old Master An for ten days to half a month. She did not expect the Zuo family to be so powerful that they could even invite Mrs. Anderson. Anhao didn¡¯t know that an American Chinese family like the Andersons would have a place like an ancestral hall. She also didn¡¯t expect that Mrs. Anderson, who hadn¡¯t appeared this afternoon, would eat and stay in the ancestral hall for eight consecutive years. Eight years. More than eight years ago, wasn¡¯t that the time when An Ping left him in the Gu family after she died and returned to the United States? ¡°You just returned to New York, and you¡¯re going to Paris to watch a fashion show with your friends without even entering your house. Has your mother spoiled you too much all these years? You don¡¯t even know the rules!¡± It was almost time for the banquet. When Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked into the front hall, they suddenly heard Old Master An talking to someone. His attitude sounded very angry, and his sonorous voice resounded in the front hall. Anhao, on the other hand, could roughly guess the reason from the key phrases of going back to New York and going to Paris to watch the runway show. Last time at the private hospital in Los Angeles, when the girl next to An Ping came out of the consultation room to answer the phone, she seemed to have said something similar. Chapter 830 - Chapter 830: An Family in the United States (4) Chapter 830: An Family in the United States (4) ¡°What do you mean by your mother¡¯s body is fine? As a child of the Andersons, do you have no one else in your eyes other than your mother? Your mother spoiled you so much that you forgot that you were just an adopted daughter from an orphanage? You¡¯ve never thought of me as your grandfather, have you?!¡± Old Master An¡¯s words instantly made Anhao stop in her tracks. If Zuo Hancheng had not held her hand tightly so that she would not be in a daze, she would not have been able to move for a long time. She turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. Compared to the shock in her eyes, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was still calm. Seeing his expression, Anhao, who had been shocked by Old Master An¡¯s words, gradually calmed down. Orphanage? An adopted daughter? An Ping would rather go to the orphanage and bring back a girl for adoption than bring her biological daughter back to the An family? ¡°Then don¡¯t come back! The Andersons have never needed heartless people like you!¡± The phone in the hall was smashed, but Elder An¡¯s angry voice was very obvious. ¡°What now? Every time I come out, I see you so angry that you look like you¡¯re about to explode. You¡¯re already so old, but you¡¯re not afraid of getting a heart attack.¡±Suddenly, a voice came from the opposite door. It sounded like the old lady of the An family. ¡°It¡¯s all because of your good daughter and granddaughter!¡±¡±You shouldn¡¯t have brought that unfilial daughter back in the first place. You should have just let her fend for herself in China!¡± Grandpa An said angrily. It was better than not marrying even though she was already so old. Eight years ago, when she came back, she was already not young, but she actually adopted a girl. She said that she would not get married for the rest of her life as long as she had a child by her side. Even if it was adopted from the orphanage, it was still her child! He even said that he would wholeheartedly nurture that child. He did not have other meticulous considerations. It was even more impossible for him to get married! She had never considered whether the Andersons would be extinct from now on!¡± The old madam heard this but didn¡¯t say anything. In the front hall, only Old Master An¡¯s heavy breathing could be heard. Zuo Hancheng held Anhao¡¯s hand and stood at the entrance of the hall. He did not enter the hall, nor did he let Anhao enter. It was as if everything inside had nothing to do with them, but it was also closely related. ¡°You say these words once a month. What¡¯s the need? I can only hide in the ancestral hall every day. Otherwise, even if you don¡¯t die of a heart attack from your temper, I¡¯ll probably go to see Buddha early because of you.¡±The old madam¡¯s voice rang out with a few sighs. The old lady slowly walked past the front hall. Her voice was low and slow, and it was obvious that she was a kind and gentle old man.¡±Why aren¡¯t they willing to come back? You should also consider your temper. You¡¯re already so old, yet you still have to worry about the child¡¯s matter. If you hadn¡¯t interfered in that matter more than twenty years ago, our daughter wouldn¡¯t have fallen to the point of having to run away for more than ten years. Eight years ago, she finally came back with great difficulty. At least she¡¯s still alive. Why do you have to let our peaceful little family quarrel all day? If you don¡¯t want to get married, then don¡¯t get married. Are you going to force her to her death because of marriage? Speaking of which, our daughter is already fifty years old. Even if she gets married, she probably won¡¯t give birth to another granddaughter for you. Why do you have to force her?¡± ¡°I forced her? Twenty years ago, I directly severed my father-daughter relationship with her. If you hadn¡¯t found her eight years ago, I would have never had that unfilial daughter in my life!¡± At this point, Old Master An said angrily,¡±And the daughter she adopted. The Andersons gave her the name Anxin, but how can she make people feel at ease? She thinks that she can do whatever she wants in this family just because her mother dotes on her. She has never taken us two old people seriously. I think she can¡¯t wait for us to die quickly so that she, as an adopted daughter, can rule over the An family!¡± The old madam did not refute this. After a moment of silence, she said,¡±Anxin is indeed spoiled¡­¡± ¡°Look, even you said Anxin was spoiled! Her mother had brought back an adopted daughter and spoiled her so much that she had a high and mighty temper. If she had the ability, she could give birth to one herself and spoil her. What was the point of doting on an adopted daughter! Others might think that the Andersons can¡¯t even lay eggs!¡±Elder An cursed angrily. ¡°Ha¡­¡± The old madam suddenly let out a cold laugh. Even from such a distance, Anhao could vaguely feel that the old madam was hiding a thousand truths in her heart, but she couldn¡¯t say them out loud. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve insisted on eating and living in the ancestral hall for the past eight years. I¡¯m the only one left in this house. You¡¯re not allowing me to complain to you when you come out?¡± Elder An asked coldly. You actually sneered at me? Are you all rebelling against the heavens?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m laughing at your temper and your stupidity.¡±¡±Even if Anping really gave birth to a child, would you accept that child?¡± The room suddenly became strangely silent. Anhao¡¯s palms started to sweat. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng tightened his grip on her hand. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Elder An¡¯s voice sounded again, but it seemed to be filled with tense emotions. ¡°I¡¯m just making an analogy. If Anping was pregnant with that man¡¯s child and gave birth to it, would you let that child enter the An family? Don¡¯t forget what you said when you severed your father-daughter relationship with Anping back then? Even if she really had a child, she probably wouldn¡¯t really send it to you to be treated coldly by you.¡± After saying that, the old lady snorted coldly again and suddenly changed the topic. She did not intend to continue pestering and explaining the words that were like a depth bomb just now. She only said,¡±Didn¡¯t they say that Han City is coming? I haven¡¯t seen him for many years. If I didn¡¯t like that grandson of the Zuo family since a long time ago, do you think I would have the time to come out and see you lose your temper? Where were they? Where was he? Could it be that you found an excuse to coax me out for dinner again?¡± ¡°When have I ever found an excuse to coax you out for dinner?¡±Grandpa An was furious again. The old madam said calmly,¡±The last time, in order to coax me out to have dinner with you, you even did something as stupid as pretending to be dead. Is there anything you can¡¯t do?¡±¡± Old Master An was speechless. Chapter 831 - Chapter 831: The Andersons in America (5) Chapter 831: The Andersons in America (5) Anhao¡¯s lips twitched when she heard the old madam¡¯s words. Why did this hot-tempered old man An sound so¡­It was a little cute¡­ ¡°When have I ever pretended to be dead? That was because your daughter was so angry that she couldn¡¯t catch her breath for a while. The servant ran over to tell you that I was dying and asked you to come out and take a look. What did it have to do with me?¡±Grandpa An grumbled unhappily. ¡°Heh, that¡¯s right. After I came out, I don¡¯t know who was lying there motionless and even asked the servant to cover your head with a white cloth.¡± As soon as Mrs. Anderson finished speaking, Grandpa Anderson¡¯s face instantly darkened. At the same time, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the door behind him. Mrs. Anderson looked in that direction.¡±Who¡¯s there?¡± Old Master An immediately turned around and looked in that direction. When he saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao walking in from the door, he immediately pointed at them as if he had evidence and said,¡±Look, look, I told you that the child from the Zuo family, Hancheng, is here. He even brought his wife with him. I didn¡¯t lie to you.¡± Mrs. Anderson ignored Grandpa An¡¯s deliberate attempt to explain loudly. She only saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao walking closer. She then saw the faint and polite smile in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. She then saw Anhao, who had been trying to hold back her laughter earlier, but now looked embarrassed. The moment she saw Anhao, Mrs. Anderson was also a little surprised. However, that surprise was fleeting. She looked at Anhao for a while before smiling kindly and saying, You are the wife of the Zuo family¡¯s Sun family?¡± ¡°Old Madam An is good.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t help but be amused by the way they interacted with each other. Her eyes were a little red because she was trying to hold back her laughter. Her face was also a little pink, and she looked a lot more rosy than usual. In the eyes of the old lady, Anhao looked especially intimate. The old lady smiled at her for a while, but she was not angry at Anhao¡¯s sudden smile. Instead, she turned to Zuo Hancheng, who had been standing beside Anhao the whole time.¡±You¡¯ve grown up in Hancheng. I¡¯ve forgotten how many years it has been since I last saw you. You were still a child then.¡± As he spoke, Old Master An interjected, but his face was cold as he maintained the attitude of the head of the family in front of outsiders.¡±This child, Hancheng, came to visit us. I asked the servant to call you out.¡± The corners of Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched as she looked at Old Master An. When she saw his expression, the smile in her eyes deepened as she tried to hold back her laughter. ¡°At least you didn¡¯t lie to me this time.¡± However, Mrs. Anderson did not give him any face at all. After giving him another lukewarm look, she smiled at Zuo Hancheng, who had been calm all this while.¡±Don¡¯t stand here. Didn¡¯t we already prepare a banquet? Come, go and sit. You¡¯re not an outsider in Hancheng. Just treat this place as your own home. There¡¯s also your wife in Hancheng¡­¡± Mrs. Anderson looked at Anhao again, but she paused for a moment. She didn¡¯t know how to address this lady whom she had met for the first time. ¡°Mrs. Anderson, you can just call me Anhao.¡±Anhao smiled. The smile in Anhao¡¯s old man¡¯s eyes was instantly surprised when he heard Anhao¡¯s name. However, the surprise in his eyes disappeared for a moment. He stared at Anhao¡¯s face firmly and suddenly looked at her from top to bottom. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly looked at Zuo Hancheng who was beside Anhao. ¡°Old Furen, please.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to notice the doubt in Mrs. Anderson¡¯s eyes. He merely raised his hand slightly as a guest, signaling for Mrs. Anderson and Old Master An to walk in front. The old madam¡¯s gaze slowly shifted away, and her gaze was indistinct as if she did not know where to look. When Old Master An walked to her side and asked her if she was feeling unwell, she suddenly frowned and said coldly,¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Just as Grandpa An instructed the servant to open the door to the dining room, the two old men walked in front to lead the way. Anhao still stood where she was and watched Mrs. Anderson¡¯s back view. Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her waist and hugged her. He said casually,¡±¡±Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± She suddenly looked up at him. When Madam Anhao and Old Master An walked into the dining room, Old Madam Anhao turned around and looked behind her. When she saw that Zuo Hancheng and Anhao did not come in soon, she suddenly turned to look at Old Master An.¡±When will Anping and Anxin come back?¡± When he heard her mention her unfilial daughter and her disobedient granddaughter, the smile that had just risen on Old Master An¡¯s face because of Zuo Hancheng and Anhao¡¯s existence immediately cooled down. ¡°It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t come back for the rest of your life. Why are you asking so many questions?¡±Old Master An was very impatient.¡± One is in his fifties, and the other is in his twenties. There¡¯s not a single child in this family who doesn¡¯t need to worry. You¡¯re still in the ancestral hall every day, and you¡¯re too lazy to even come out to see me. If it weren¡¯t for Hancheng and Anhao, the two children, who would specially come to see me on behalf of Old Master Zuo, our An family really hasn¡¯t been so lively for a long time. Don¡¯t mention Anping and Anxin in front of me. It¡¯s best if they don¡¯t come back!¡± Mrs. Anderson frowned secretly. When she turned around, she saw that Zuo Hancheng had already walked over with Anhao. Zuo Hancheng looked like a junior and was very polite and quiet. However, his clean and cold temperament made him look extremely noble and intimidating just by walking slowly with his wife. Also, Zuo Hancheng did not speak much. His seemingly casual attitude was too easy to ignore. However, if one really paid attention to him, they would find that his gaze was cold and sharp. His silence was filled with an icy aura that made one shudder. Before the old madam could look at Anhao who was beside Zuo Hancheng again, Anhao had already walked over with him. When Anhao met the old madam¡¯s gaze, she thought of how the dignified old man was actually so cowardly in front of the old madam. She felt that this old madam must be someone with a special story. To be able to keep a man like Old Master An by her side for the rest of her life and make him only care about her for the rest of his life, she was not really angry with this old lady even if she had to leave the family for eight years. It was obvious that this old madam was a woman who was intelligent and knew how to endure. When their eyes met, Anhao smiled and said,¡±¡±Old Madam, your body looks very healthy. I wonder if you and Old An have celebrated your golden wedding?¡± ¡°Hmph, golden wedding.¡± Elder An did not wait for the old madam to speak and suddenly interrupted at the dining table.¡±Two years ago, it was the 50th golden wedding. That year, she spent it in the ancestral hall as if nothing had happened at all. It would have been fine if you didn¡¯t mention it, but when you mention it, this old man¡¯s heart is twitching with anger.¡± Chapter 832 - Chapter 832: The Andersons in America (6) Chapter 832: The Andersons in America (6) ¡°Did you smoke? When did he smoke? Why haven¡¯t I seen it before?¡± Mrs. Anderson glanced at him indifferently and suddenly held Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±Come, child, come and sit.¡± ¡°Hancheng, sit here. The An family hasn¡¯t been this lively in a long time.¡±Old Madam An¡¯s cold expression towards Old Master An earlier turned into a kind smile when she saw Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. At the same time, she pulled Anhao to a seat near the main seat at the dining table and sat beside her. Then, she let Zuo Hancheng sit on the chair on the other side of Anhao and said with a smile,¡±¡±Usually, we don¡¯t have many relatives and children around us. It¡¯s rare for any child to come and visit us. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so thoughtful to bring Madam here. It was not in vain that I often went to Los Angeles to see you when you were young. At that time, I often carried you. You were especially likable at that time. Everyone said that the grandson of the Zuo family would definitely be extraordinary when he grew up. It seems that everyone¡¯s words have become a proverb.¡± ¡± Old Madam, you¡¯re being too serious. Hancheng is indeed a child in front of the two elders, but the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a fixed career in one¡¯s life. Whether it¡¯s the Zuo family or the Shengling Group, they¡¯re just a means to make a living.¡±Zuo Hancheng replied with a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His gaze deepened when he heard the old lady say,¡± Hancheng, you¡¯re so thoughtful.¡± When he looked at the old lady, the smile in his eyes had a different meaning. Grandma Jian nodded with a smile.¡± Yes, the most important thing is to keep a low profile. Hancheng has been taught strictly since he was young, and he has his own opinions. It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not fated to be with the An family. If we had a granddaughter, she would probably be about your age. It would be great if our two grandsons could marry for the rest of their lives and our families could become in-laws.¡± The more the old lady said this, the uglier Grandpa An¡¯s expression became.¡±You¡¯re just picking on a sore spot. If you¡¯re really talking about your granddaughter, do you think Anxin is worthy of Han City?¡± However, Mrs. Anderson pretended not to hear Grandpa An¡¯s words. She looked at Zuo Hancheng and said,¡±Ignore your Grandpa An. He likes to twist my words. We never said that we wanted to have anything to do with Anxin. The two of you seem to be in love. We¡¯re not that ungrateful to compare our own child to Mrs. Zuo.¡± As she spoke, the old madam¡¯s gaze landed on Anhao again. She smiled kindly and said,¡±¡±Anhao, is your surname An too? Or?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at Anhao and did not say anything. He was giving her the chance to control everything in the An family. Anhao looked at her hand that was held by Mrs. Anderson again and felt that her hand was very warm. Anhao¡¯s heart was slightly moved. She didn¡¯t know why, but she felt that this old lady seemed to know something, but she couldn¡¯t be sure. ¡°When I was young, my surname was An. When I grew up, my mother suddenly sent me to a family with the surname Gu. After that, my mother passed away because of a tumor. I¡¯m not very clear about my background, but my identity card has always shown the words Gu Anhao.¡± Anhao¡¯s words were very clear, and there was a smile in her eyes when she spoke. However, when Mrs. Anderson heard every word Anhao said, her eyes darkened a little. The old hand that was holding Anhao¡¯s hand tightened. After all, she was an old lady. No matter how tight her grip was, Anhao wouldn¡¯t feel any pain. Anhao only felt the change in Mrs. Anderson¡¯s emotions, but she smiled as if she didn¡¯t notice it.¡±So, Old Madam, you can call me Anhao or Gu Anhao.¡± The old madam held her hand tightly and looked at her for a long time before smiling. When she smiled, a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. The old madam smiled and patted her hand.¡±Anhao, what a good name. When your mother gave you a name, she must have hoped that you would be safe and carefree for the rest of your life.¡± ¡°Is that so? So this is what my name means.¡±Anhao¡¯s tone was extremely light. She pulled her hand away from the old lady¡¯s hand at the same time, but the smile in her eyes did not change. The old lady looked at her awkwardly. Old Master An had already ordered the servants to bring the dishes to the table. At the same time, he turned his attention to Zuo Hancheng and realized that Zuo Hancheng seemed to be very concerned about his wife. Zuo Hancheng, who was able to summon the wind and rain outside, was actually a gentle listener at this time. Although Old Master An was old, he was not a simple person when he was young. Although he saw that Zuo Hancheng and Anhao were young people who came to visit and had a polite attitude, he could still feel the hidden edge in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm and gentle attitude. Their sharpness and coldness made Old Master An feel wary from time to time. He didn¡¯t know their true intentions. Old Master An stared at Zuo Hancheng for a while. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, which was originally on Anhao and the old madam, paused for a moment. Suddenly, he turned his eyes and looked directly at Old Master An. When he saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm and cold expression, Old Master An asked directly,¡±¡±Han Cheng, is there any other reason for your visit? For example, does Old Zuo want you to pass a message to me, or?¡± Under Old Master An¡¯s questioning, Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly.¡±¡±Grandfather indeed sent me here to give Elder An a big gift.¡± ¡°Oh? What gift?¡± Elder An¡¯s intuition told him that a gift that could be described as a big gift by someone like Zuo Hancheng was definitely not simple. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was fixed on Anhao, who was beside him. Anhao acted as if it had nothing to do with her and smiled at Grandpa An.¡±In the face of the An family¡¯s generous hospitality, it would indeed be unreasonable if the Zuo family really didn¡¯t prepare any big gifts.¡± ¡°It seems that this gift is very mysterious?¡± Grandpa An raised his eyebrows. You guys have really aroused my curiosity. This old man¡¯s curiosity is not so easy to arouse. Tell me, what is it related to?¡± Anhao smiled again and did not answer immediately. Zuo Hancheng was obviously not prepared to give Old Master An a quick death. At this moment, the old madam¡¯s expression was hidden under the light, making it difficult for others to see her clearly. It was not until the servant suddenly handed a phone to Old Master An that Old Master An took the phone. He immediately threw the phone back to the servant with an ugly expression. ¡°Your unfilial daughter is coming back soon!¡±Grandpa An looked at the old lady and said with an ugly expression, Chapter 833 - Chapter 833: Bloodline Affinity (1) Chapter 833: Bloodline Affinity (1) When a limited edition white Rolls-Royce drove into the neighborhood, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng had already put down their cutlery and were waiting. An Ping had been in Los Angeles for nearly a month before returning. As soon as she returned to New York, she accompanied her daughter to the airport because she wanted to go to Paris to watch the runway show. However, because of Old Master An¡¯s anger, she finally brought her daughter back. ¡°Mom, Grandpa has never liked me. He gets angry every time he sees me. Isn¡¯t he as angry as before today? You¡¯ve already accompanied me to the airport, but you still came back halfway. My friends are all dissatisfied with me because I¡¯ve stood them up several times.¡±He walked beside An Ping in peace, his face full of grievance as he walked home. An Ping did not say anything. She only handed the things in her hands to the servant and walked back. Anxin quickly followed behind her. She felt that ever since her mother went to Los Angeles, she seemed to have a lot on her mind. There were many times when she didn¡¯t respond to her when she talked to her. Anxin looked at Anping¡¯s back view with a delicate and sensitive mood. She could only jog to catch up with her and raise her hand to intimately hold her hand.¡± Mom, actually, I¡¯m just complaining. You can¡¯t be angry with me. There are only a few people in our family. Grandpa and Grandma are very close to me. You¡¯ve doted on me the most all these years. If you¡¯re angry with me, then there¡¯s probably no place for me in the An family¡­¡± An Ping suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her daughter beside her. Seeing that her face was somewhat similar to the other person in her heart, she hid the sadness in her eyes and curled her lips slightly. She held her hand and said,¡±Don¡¯t worry, Mom is just not feeling well. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± Only then did Anxin smile. She also handed the Chanel limited edition bag in her hand to the servant who walked over. She wrapped her arms around An Ping¡¯s and leaned her head on her shoulder affectionately as she walked back to the An family¡¯s main residence with her. Ever since she heard from Old Master An that An Ping and the others had suddenly changed their minds and would come back tonight, Mrs. An had been sitting quietly beside Anhao. The deep thoughts in her eyes made Anhao occasionally glance in the direction of the old madam. ¡°It seems that tonight is destined to be even more lively.¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly. His eyes were dark and calm, making him look even colder. Anhao glanced sideways at them. To be honest, she was not ready to meet them so early. However, when Anhao¡¯s gaze swept in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction, he turned to look at her. His eyes were indifferent, but at the same time, he held her hand that was clenched into a fist and placed on her thigh. Although he looked calm and unmoving, Anhao knew that he was encouraging her. Since they had already come this far, and the heavens had arranged for them to meet as soon as possible, Anhao naturally wouldn¡¯t back down. ¡°Originally, because Hancheng and Anhao were here, the atmosphere of the banquet was very good. However, those two unfilial things suddenly came back early. Heh, I just hope that there won¡¯t be any drama!¡±Grandpa An¡¯s face turned ugly.¡± If you want to go to Paris, you can go to Paris. If you want to come back, you can come back. Who do you think the Andersons are?¡± A hotel? She would stay for a few days and then leave. After she left, she did not want to come back.¡± ¡°Stop talking. The young couple from Han City are here. Do you want to tell others about your family¡¯s dirty laundry?¡±The old lady suddenly pinched him under the table. Grandpa An was no longer giving in. He glanced in Anhao¡¯s direction with an unpleasant expression and whispered to the old lady,¡±¡±I think Anhao is more like the granddaughter of the An family. She¡¯s much more sensible than Anxin.¡± Upon hearing this, Anhao glanced at Old Master An. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were calm as his thin lips curled up slightly. His handsome face was cold and had a faint smile on it. The old madam didn¡¯t turn back to look at Anhao, but when she heard footsteps coming from outside the door, she suddenly stood up and stood between Anhao and the front door, making it impossible for Anhao to see the person who walked in clearly. The person at the front door also didn¡¯t see Anhao immediately after entering. ¡°Dad, we¡¯re back.¡± An Ping¡¯s voice was light and flat. ¡°Hello, Grandpa ~ Hello, Grandma ~ Why are you only having dinner at this time today? Grandma isn¡¯t at the ancestral hall today?¡± Anxin¡¯s sweet voice sounded at the same time. However, their voices paused when they realized that there were other people at the table. An Ping¡¯s gaze fell on the only tall and cold figure that could be seen. As soon as she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold gaze, An Ping stopped in her tracks and instinctively looked at the figure that was blocked by the old madam. Anxin¡¯s eyes were also filled with surprise when she saw Zuo Hancheng, followed by a look of ecstasy. She tried her best not to show too much excitement, but her face suddenly turned red. The hand that had been holding An Ping¡¯s arm could not help but gradually tighten, but there was still some nervousness and excitement in her eyes as she looked at the man who was absolutely charming in her eyes. ¡°Why are you here too?¡± As Anxin asked, she suddenly whispered to An Ping,¡±¡±Mom, he¡¯s the man I¡¯ve been telling you about a few days ago. He¡¯s the man I met in the hospital. I thought I¡¯d never see him again in my life. I didn¡¯t expect him to come to our house!¡± Although Anxin¡¯s voice was soft, there weren¡¯t many people in the restaurant to begin with. Moreover, no one spoke, so Anxin¡¯s voice attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Grandpa An and Mrs. An immediately looked at An Xin unhappily. However, An Xin¡¯s attention was completely focused on the man who had a cold and deep smile on his face. When An Ping heard Anxin say that Zuo Hancheng was the man she had been talking about a few days ago, she frowned slightly and looked in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. ¡°This is outrageous!¡± Suddenly, the dining table was slammed heavily. The old man¡¯s angry voice instantly diverted everyone¡¯s attention. Only then did Anxin snap back to her senses. She turned to look at the dissatisfaction in Old Master An¡¯s eyes and shrunk her neck. She carefully stood behind Anping and whispered,¡±Grandpa¡­¡± ¡°You still know how to call me grandpa? Ever since this little adopted daughter entered the An family, she had gone from being delicate and sensitive in the first two years to needing someone to coax and dote on her. Now, she had been filled with material things to the point where she rode around in a limited-edition new car. She did not even go home to watch the runway show in Paris. Do you still have eyes for me, your grandfather? And this Andersons?¡± An Xin didn¡¯t expect the old master to say this about her in front of outsiders. She immediately felt embarrassed, but she didn¡¯t dare to say anything and raised her hand to gently tug at An Ping¡¯s sleeve. Chapter 834 - Chapter 834: Bloodline Affinity (2) Chapter 834: Bloodline Affinity (2) However, for the first time today, An Ping did not directly defend her. When her eyes met the old madam¡¯s gaze, her gaze once again fell on the direction that the old madam was blocking behind her. ¡°Mom¡­¡± Anxin whispered from behind her,¡±It¡¯s fine if Grandpa likes to talk about me at home, but now that there¡¯s an outsider at home, he¡¯s actually talking about me like this. He doesn¡¯t even consider my face¡­¡± When An Ping heard the voice behind her, her gaze slowly shifted back to the angry Old Master An.¡± Dad, Anxin promised last month that she would go to Paris with a few friends, but she had to accompany me to Los Angeles for medical treatment because I wasn¡¯t feeling well. She was delayed for so long, and she just wanted to fly to Paris as soon as possible today. The delay in the middle is all because of me. I¡¯m not spotting her, but she promised me, so I planned to fly to Paris with her today.¡± ¡°Then go ahead. Why did you come back? You all stay outside and don¡¯t come back! At least my family can still be quiet!¡±¡±Anxin, this child, is acting so lawless just because she¡¯s the granddaughter of our family. Does she really think she¡¯s a young lady from a rich family?¡± Grandpa Shen said with an ugly expression. Eight years ago, when you were just brought back, you would nod and greet me carefully when you saw me. You didn¡¯t even dare to call me grandpa. At that time, you were sensitive and careful in every way. Later on, you gradually adapted to the life of the An family and became more and more like a young miss. Are you tired of the new clothes you bought this year? You want to buy a few limited edition models to show off at your orphanage after the show?¡± Anxin¡¯s face turned red and then white, but she kept glancing in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s direction. When she saw that the man had also heard what Old Master An had said, she felt wronged and her eyes turned red.¡±Grandpa, I don¡¯t have any.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me Grandpa!¡± Old Master An suddenly stood up and said,¡± The more I look at you, the angrier I get. Look at what you¡¯re wearing! ¡°You dress like a socialite every day to make others think that the An family really has a granddaughter like you. You don¡¯t even tell others that you¡¯re adopted. You flaunt your family background everywhere. If you have a conscience, even if you take out the money from a set of clothes to buy some food for the children at the orphanage that adopted you, you don¡¯t take a single cent from the orphanage other than showing off occasionally. She even bought kittens and puppies every day and posted them on the Internet to show her love! Do you really think I don¡¯t know anything?!¡± An Xin¡¯s expression instantly stiffened. When An Ping suddenly turned around to look at her, her eyes instantly turned red as she said,¡±I didn¡¯t¡­Mom, I really didn¡¯t¡­The last time I went back to the orphanage, it was my friends and children there who picked up a few stray cats and dogs. When I went to visit them, they gave those little animals to me, so I brought them home to raise them. Taking photos and posting them online is just a habit. I don¡¯t have the intention of showing off or showing off my love¡­¡± As soon as Anxin said that, a soft meow suddenly came from outside the dining room. The kitten seemed to have heard Anxin¡¯s voice and quickly ran over. After running into the dining room, it went straight to Anxin¡¯s legs. Matriarch Lin¡¯s gaze followed Anxin¡¯s awkward expression. She had heard that Anxin had adopted some small animals, but she had never come out to see them. Now that she saw the cat that was standing beside Anxin¡¯s legs, Matriarch Lin¡¯s gaze darkened. At the same time, she sighed softly, so softly that no one could hear her. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve heard that such an expensive Bengal Bengal cat would end up on the streets as a stray animal.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words came out of nowhere, but his icy cold voice instantly made An Xin¡¯s blood freeze as she looked at the handsome man who looked like a god. Anhao had never raised a cat before, nor had she ever understood the breeds of cats and dogs. After all, the environment she grew up in did not allow her to even have the space to pity herself. How could she have the mood to show love to those cute little animals? Therefore, these cats and dogs were only good-looking and ungood-looking in her eyes. As the old madam had been blocking her way, she could only turn her head slightly. She could not see Anping and Anxin, but she could see the cat beside Anxin¡¯s legs. It was indeed unique in appearance. It was the type of cat that was rarely seen, but it was very beautiful. ¡°What kind of cat is a Bengal Bengal cat?¡± After hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words, Old Master An turned to look at him with a questioning look in his eyes.¡±I do know that the prices of those kittens and puppies that young people like are getting more and more expensive.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else after he blurted out those words. When the old man suddenly asked him, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dark eyes were filled with a smile and coldness. His deep and cool voice rang out,¡±¡±I don¡¯t really know much about these small animals, but coincidentally, my sister Zuo Yue liked to raise cats when she was young.¡± Zuo Hancheng spoke in a low voice. His voice was cold and slow. His calm but slightly domineering voice made An Xin¡¯s face filled with shock and anxiety. ¡°Bengal Bengal cats are a very unique breed. Their ancestors are a hybrid of Asian leopard cats and Egyptian domestic cats. This breed was recognized by the TICO International Cat Association in 1984. The cat beside Miss An was definitely a fourth-generation Asian leopard cat. Such a cat would cost between 10,000 to 40,000 US dollars.¡± Anhao stared at the cat again. Between ten thousand to forty thousand dollars? That would be between 60,000 to 250,000 RMB! Even a cat was so expensive. This Anxin was even more dignified than a pure young lady from a wealthy family! The moment she heard the price, An Xin¡¯s expression could no longer be described as stiff and aggrieved. She did not know who that man was, but since he was treated as a VIP by her grandfather, he was definitely not a simple person. Now that she was in an inexplicable awkward situation, she did not dare to argue too loudly and make the old man even more disgusted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If you like these small animals, you can just say that you bought them yourself. How can you use the excuse of adopting stray cats to fool us?¡±The old madam, who had been silent all this while, could not stand it anymore. However, in order to ease the atmosphere, she could only ask her a question before Old Master An continued to fly into a rage. An Ping had never paid attention to these things because of the old madam¡¯s questioning. At this moment, she also looked behind her with a wronged expression.¡±Did you adopt this cat from the orphanage, or did you buy it?¡± Chapter 835 - Chapter 835: Bloodline Affinity (3) Chapter 835: Bloodline Affinity (3) ¡°Mom, I received this from the orphanage¡­¡± Anxin was about to explain when Old Master An interrupted her.¡±¡±You still dare to lie? Why would such an expensive cat wander on the streets? As long as this cat left the An family¡¯s front door, it would be taken away and sold in less than an hour! Foster? You should really adopt a few stray cats for me to see!¡± Anxin pursed her lips but didn¡¯t dare to say anything else. Under An Ping¡¯s pressing gaze, she whispered with red eyes,¡± Mom, I just like these little animals too much. That time, my friend said that he would bring a few back for me, so I picked out a few that I liked and bought them back. It¡¯s just some kittens and puppies. No matter how much money I spend, it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal¡­¡± An Ping looked at her for a while and sighed lightly. She turned around and said,¡±Dad, it¡¯s really not a big deal. It¡¯s just a few small animals. If she likes it, let her buy it. Besides, no matter how expensive a cat is, it can¡¯t be that expensive.¡± ¡°Heh, kind!¡± ¡°If she¡¯s really kind, she¡¯ll give the money to the children in the orphanage. If she really does that, I might change my opinion of her!¡± Grandpa An said with an ugly expression. Unfortunately, other than showing off her superior life all day long, your adopted daughter is imitating the socialites from all over the world. She wears whatever others wear. If others like to go to the runway, she will also go to the runway. Are so many clothes not enough for her? Why are you watching a runway show!¡± ¡°Grandpa, I just want to watch a fashion show, and you¡¯re so dissatisfied! But I wasted a few hours at the airport because I wanted to go to Paris. You¡¯re so angry that I came back a few hours late and you even said that about me in front of the guests at home. How could you do this?¡± Anxin¡¯s eyes were red as she spoke, but she held back her tears. When she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clear and merciless gaze, she turned around and ran out angrily. ¡°Anxin, where are you going? Come back!¡± An Ping quickly called out to her. ¡± I don¡¯t eat, you guys eat! I¡¯m not from the Andersons! I don¡¯t deserve to sit and eat with you!¡±Anxin choked and ran out, and the Bengal cat quickly followed her out of the back door into the darkness. Although she knew about Anxin¡¯s small problems, there was indeed no need to break a girl¡¯s heart in such a big way. After An Ping took a few steps in that direction, she stopped and looked at the dark night outside the door. She suddenly turned around and said,¡±Dad, you¡­¡± Just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, An Ping¡¯s expression suddenly froze. From this angle, she actually saw Anhao sitting behind the old madam. Anhao also smiled faintly at An Ping the moment she saw her. When she stood up, her smile was polite and generous.¡±Auntie, so you¡¯re from the family. We met in Los Angeles last time. Do you remember me?¡± An Ping stared at Anhao¡¯s face. She was about to speak up for Anxin, but her actions and eyes gradually retracted. In the end, all that was left was surprise and an unknown excitement because of Anhao¡¯s appearance. ¡°You¡­¡± An Ping suddenly took a step towards her, but when she saw the distant attitude hidden under the smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes, she quickly stopped in her tracks and put down her raised hand uneasily in an instant. She gradually turned into a seemingly calm greeting.¡±So it¡¯s you. I saw you at the hospital in Los Angeles that time. I remember, but¡­¡± An Ping stared at Anhao, her gaze a little fervent. However, she realized that Anhao looked even thinner than last time and frowned.¡±It¡¯s only been less than a month. Why do you look so thin?¡± ¡°Something happened recently. I just fell ill.¡±Anhao casually covered up the fact that she had just narrowly escaped death. Her gaze was still half-smiling as she looked at An Ping¡¯s complicated gaze that seemed both passionate and awkward.¡±We¡¯re here to see you. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here, Auntie. It seems that we¡¯re really fated.¡± Anhao laughed as she spoke, emphasizing the word ¡®aunty¡¯. ¡°Are you sick?¡± An Ping¡¯s concerned gaze immediately moved down from her slightly thin face and looked at her from top to bottom a few more times. The weather was hot, and Anhao was wearing summer clothes. Under the clothes, the wounds on her body that had just healed could not be seen. The small wounds on her legs could not be seen clearly because the lights in the restaurant were not particularly bright. However, Anhao¡¯s skin was very fair, just as fair as Anping¡¯s. Old Master An saw the way Anhao and Anping were talking and felt that something was wrong. He then looked at Zuo Hancheng. Ever since Zuo Hancheng had settled down, he had remained calm and collected, but his calm gaze was intriguing. The purpose of these two young men¡¯s visit¡­ Grandpa An suddenly said,¡± Alright, the servants have already brought the dishes up. Sit down and eat first. There are guests today, so don¡¯t worry about anything else. We¡¯ll talk about it later. Otherwise, that girl will embarrass the An family in front of Hancheng and Anhao.¡±¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t embarrass the Andersons by talking about that child so harshly just now.¡±Mrs. Anderson could not help but turn around and mock him. Old Master An pretended not to hear her and gave An Ping a look.¡±Why aren¡¯t you coming over and sitting? Since you¡¯ve met Anhao before, you¡¯re not strangers. Come over and eat first.¡±¡± However, when Anping heard Anhao¡¯s name, even though she already knew who she was, her eyes still trembled. When she saw the meaningful smile in Anhao¡¯s eyes, she walked over. At this moment, her eyes suddenly met the old madam¡¯s for a second. In the next second, the old madam sat down beside Anhao. Anping walked around the dining table and sat opposite Anhao. It was dark outside the restaurant. Even though it was summer, the sky had already darkened. The dining room seemed to be very lively. Grandpa An was so happy that he kept mentioning the things that happened between him and Grandpa Zuo when he was young. When he was in a good mood, he even said that he would ask the servant to bring the phone over. He wanted to call Grandpa Zuo and make fun of him. If it weren¡¯t for Mrs. Anderson, who would mock him from time to time, he would probably have called her. But the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different, the situation is different. Chapter 836 - Chapter 836: Bloodline Affinity (4) Chapter 836: Bloodline Affinity (4) The emotions in Anhao¡¯s eyes seemed calm. When An Ping took the initiative to pick up the food and put it into the cutlery in front of Zuo Hancheng, she saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s elegant and handsome face had a distant and cold smile. When An Ping looked at him, he looked back at her, and his gaze was not only thought-provoking. That seemingly polite and seemingly casual coldness was the most unreal kind of sharp blade. An Ping could clearly feel that Zuo Hancheng had specially brought Anhao to the An family. His motive was definitely not that simple. It was at this moment that An Ping finally understood that from the moment Anhao walked into the An family, she no longer had the ability to hide or resist everything that had happened in the past. ¡°This is a dish that the kitchen often cooks. Although it¡¯s not the way Chinese dishes are cooked, it still has a sweet and spicy taste. I don¡¯t know if you can get used to it, but it tastes very good.¡±An Ping didn¡¯t say much and just kept putting food into Anhao¡¯s bowl enthusiastically. Seeing An Ping¡¯s rare enthusiasm for someone, Old Master An looked at her indifferently.¡±It¡¯s been so many years, but I¡¯ve never seen you so warm to someone you¡¯ve met for the first time.¡± An Ping¡¯s expression only paused for a moment. She did not look at Anhao¡¯s eyes but turned to look at Old Master An. At the same time, she smiled calmly.¡±Dad, didn¡¯t I just say that Anhao and I met in Los Angeles? How can it be considered our first meeting?¡± ¡°Even if it wasn¡¯t the first time we met, we didn¡¯t even say more than five sentences.¡±Anhao suddenly opened her mouth. Her words did not give An Ping any way out. Anping paused for a moment because Anhao was deliberately making things difficult for her, but the smile in her eyes deepened. She turned to look at Anhao.¡±You child, I hit it off with you and treat you better. Moreover¡­ You¡¯re about the same age as our Anxin¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention Anxin in front of me.¡±Grandpa An¡¯s expression was ugly.¡± But speaking of which, she is indeed about the same age as Mrs. Zuo. Moreover, she looks¡­¡± Grandpa An narrowed his eyes and looked at Anhao.¡±¡±They actually look a little alike. If I wasn¡¯t sure that Anxin was definitely not your daughter, I would have suspected that Anhao and Anxin were two children you secretly gave birth to. Even their names are so similar.¡± Anping sat at the dining table, her expression unchanged. However, when Anhao looked at her, the corners of Anping¡¯s mouth curled up. The way she looked at Anhao had long since changed from the initial shock, embarrassment, and disbelief to gradually accepting the child¡¯s ¡°revenge¡±. Mrs. Anderson suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice,¡±How can you be so sure that Anxin isn¡¯t the Andersons ¡®child? What if Anping had indeed given birth outside during those ten years?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m an old fool?¡± Old Master An¡¯s voice was cold.¡± Not long after she came back eight years ago, she suddenly brought back a teenage girl from outside. She said she wanted to adopt her. I saw that the girl actually looked a little like her, so I was already suspicious. I took the hair of the mother and daughter to do a DNA test. The facts proved that Anxin was not Anping¡¯s daughter at all.¡± ¡°You actually secretly went for a DNA test? Old An, oh Old An, I¡¯ve been with you for more than 50 years, but you¡¯re always so despicable! You don¡¯t even believe in your own child!¡± The old madam was so angry that she directly threw the cutlery in her hand. Her expression was ugly as she said,¡±I can¡¯t eat this meal. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this child from Hancheng came to see us, I really wouldn¡¯t have come out to eat with this old bastard!¡± ¡°Back then, she brought a girl back from the outside for some reason. She insisted on adopting her and loved that child so much. Can¡¯t I doubt that child¡¯s background? If that child is the bastard she had with that bastard, I have to know the truth. I can¡¯t be kept in the dark!¡± ¡°So? You finally found out? He knew that the child was not An Ping¡¯s, so he allowed her to adopt the child? And allow her to name the child Anxin and allow her to take on our family name? You don¡¯t want your own granddaughter, but you¡¯d rather keep an adopted child. Old An, are you not old and muddle-headed? I think you¡¯re too much! He had no idea what he was doing!¡± ¡°What do you mean I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m doing? If the man An Ping knew back then really had an ending with her, would her life still be so peaceful? Who knows where he would die under the muzzle of a gun!¡± The old couple was quarreling happily, but Zuo Hancheng, Anhao, and Anping did not seem to be affected by the flames of war at all. It was as if they did not hear the old couple¡¯s quarrel. Anhao didn¡¯t expect Old Master An to be such a meticulous person. An Ping brought back a child from the orphanage, and he actually went to do a DNA test? If An Ping had brought her back to the United States and returned to the An family, would Old Master An have kept her if he had known that she was An Ping¡¯s child? Anhao didn¡¯t know what was going on, but now she saw that An Ping had been picking up food for her because she was sitting opposite her and often looked at her carefully. The smile in her eyes was as warm as when she was young. Although there was some regret and pain hidden in this warmth, it did look very warm on the surface. After so many years, she had still habitually kept half a bottle of peach-flavored drink. It could be seen that An Ping had not forgotten about her existence? Since he had never forgotten her, how could he be so cruel as to send her into the abyss of pain in the Gu family? He thought of the Gu family and the last time An Ping had looked at him weakly as she fell down the stairs and lay in a pool of blood. Anhao tightened her grip on the cutlery. Until the end of the not-so-harmonious dinner, no one actually ate much, except for Anhao. She ate until she was full. An Ping kept putting food into her bowl, and Zuo Hancheng also put food into her bowl from time to time. Then, she ate and ate non-stop amidst the noise of Elder An and the old madam. When the meal was finally over, Mrs. Anderson was so angry that she asked the servants to help her back to the ancestral hall. However, Grandpa An suddenly stopped Zuo Hancheng and asked him to go out and talk to him. Anhao did not know what Elder An meant, but she did not follow Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze when he left. Only she and An Ping were left at the dining table. An Ping¡¯s gaze had been fixed on Anhao from the beginning to the end. Since the Buddhist incident had come to this point, she no longer cared about how the servants around them looked at the two of them with curious eyes. She did not even care about Anhao¡¯s purpose for coming. Suddenly, someone ran in from outside.¡±Something¡¯s happened¡± Chapter 837 - Chapter 837: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (1) Chapter 837: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Wounds (1) Suddenly, someone ran in from outside.¡±Something¡¯s happened-¡± Only then did An Ping shift her gaze away from Anhao. She turned to look at the servant who had suddenly run in from the back door. She recognized that it was the servant from Anxin¡¯s room and asked directly,¡±What happened? Why are you so panicked?¡± However, the servant suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the dining room was a little unusual. Although she did not know what was unusual, she clearly felt that she seemed to have disturbed something. However, even if she had disturbed him, the servant did not dare to neglect him. She only said anxiously with red eyes,¡±Sister Ping, after Miss returned to her room, she suddenly took out her luggage and said that she wanted to run away from home and return to the orphanage. She said that there was no place for her here and even said that Sister Ping had never treated her as a daughter, so she might as well leave. In short, Miss cried very sadly and packed two big boxes of things.¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t understand why the servants called An Ping Sister Ping so intimately and didn¡¯t seem to have much of a difference between master and servant. However, when she heard that Anxin suddenly started to run away from home, her eyes immediately looked at An Ping. An Ping also looked at Anhao, like Anhao, choose to take the opportunity to explain Anhao in those years, or choose to look at peace of mind. Anhao was also looking at her, and she could see the obvious struggle in An Ping¡¯s eyes. Suddenly, Anhao chuckled and stood up.¡±¡±Auntie An, I accidentally bumped into so many family matters on my first visit to the An family. It doesn¡¯t seem appropriate for me to stay here now. I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡± After saying that, Anhao turned around and walked out. As soon as I walked outside, I saw a small building not far from the hall. The lights on the second floor were bright. The windows were open. From time to time, I heard the voices of servants blocking and coaxing me to be at ease. From time to time, I heard the cries of grievances. Anhao stood in front of the door and looked in that direction. She thought of the five years she spent in the Gu family. She thought of the cold, small room that didn¡¯t even have any heat in the winter. When the small room would leak in the summer, she was afraid that her mother¡¯s portrait would be drenched by the rain. She hugged her mother¡¯s portrait and sat in the corner of the hard bed, silently counting the time in the damp room. Then, he saw Anxin suddenly pulling open the curtains in agitation as she cried. She walked to the balcony and threw down a pile of miscellaneous clothes, dolls, and many other things that girls liked. Every single one of them was extremely expensive. Anhao recalled the time when she was wearing those cheap clothes under Gu Shishi¡¯s sarcastic gaze. She remembered how Gu Shishi deliberately stepped on the clothes she did not like to wear before throwing them to her. It was so dirty that even after washing, it would not look like the clothes from before. She remembered that she would often open the book and take a look at the dried blue ice in the book as if it was her most precious toy. It was as if her mother was by her side, and everything between her mother and daughter when she was young was still there¡­ The servant ran up to the balcony to persuade Anxin to stop crying. However, Anxin saw a servant coming over and was crying on the balcony as she made a gesture to jump down from the second floor. He was really good at acting. Looking at this scene, Anhao suddenly curled her lips coldly. When he was sixteen, he was beaten by the Gu family¡¯s mother and daughter with a vase until his ribs were broken. The scene of him being pushed down from the second floor by a servant was still in front of him. Compared to this scene, it was really ironic. Just as Anhao was about to turn around and walk away, she heard Anping¡¯s footsteps coming from behind her. Anping didn¡¯t go to Anhao immediately. Instead, when she walked to Anhao¡¯s side, she felt the coldness emanating from Anhao. Anhao stood there quietly with her back facing her. ¡°The Andersons are not as peaceful as you think. Child, these¡­ I¡¯ve made a fool of myself in front of you.¡± An Ping said softly behind her,¡±Go back and rest.¡± Anhao smiled coldly and turned to look at Anping. While the servants were nervously running towards Anxin¡¯s balcony, she looked at Anping¡¯s face and spoke in a very, very soft voice that seemed like it could be blown away by the wind. ¡°For so many years, you left your biological daughter in China. Have you ever felt uneasy?¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was very, very soft and very faint. The moment An Ping looked at her in shock, Anhao smiled coldly again and turned to leave without saying another word. However, An Ping stood where she was and looked at the child who obviously hated her. She stood in the dark outside the hall and did not move for a long time, as if she did not hear the crying coming from Anxin not far away. Anxin had seen An Ping there long ago. According to her mother¡¯s usual love for her, she should have chased after her when she was so angry that she left the dining room. She coaxed and doted on herself. She couldn¡¯t bear to see her suffer any grievances. Her mother had given her so much maternal love for so many years. Even if Old Master and Old Madam had never truly acknowledged her as their granddaughter, because of Anping¡¯s love for her, her status as the daughter of the An family had long been established. In the past eight years, everything had been established! But today, her mother actually ignored her! He just let her run back to her room alone! She thought of the man she had met in the hospital who she had fallen in love with at first sight. However, Old Master had scolded her in front of him and even said that she was about to dig into the ground. Her mother actually did not speak up for her and did not chase after her in the end. Anxin was getting angrier and angrier, which was why she had made such a huge commotion in the room. She ran to the balcony and saw that her mother had already come out, but she acted as if she hadn¡¯t heard her voice. She said something to the girl who had appeared at the An family¡¯s house for some reason, and then she just stood there silently, as if she had suddenly become a different person. Anxin made a ruckus for a long time without any results. The servants were afraid that she would really cause trouble. Moreover, there were guests at home, so they directly pulled her back to the room and closed the window. Anxin was tired from crying. She suddenly got up and walked to the window. She looked out through the window and saw her mother still standing there. Anxin looked at her in confusion and then turned to look in the direction that the girl had left in. She felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Her mother had always been a very indifferent person. Although the servants in the An family respected her very much, her mother had always asked the servants to call her Sister Ping. Moreover, her mother rarely paid attention to others. She had come to the Andersons for so many years because her mother loved her wholeheartedly and finally let go of her initial caution and fear. Moreover, it was because her mother¡¯s attention was always on her. But now, her mother was ignoring her, and her emotions were being controlled by another girl. Anxin looked out the window unhappily, and when she thought of that girl¡¯s face, her heart skipped a beat. Chapter 838 - Chapter 838: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (2) Chapter 838: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Wounds (2) In the An family¡¯s guest room, Anhao pushed open the window. The An family¡¯s house, which had just been noisy, was now completely silent. The night breeze was blowing. If it was more than a month ago, Anhao would never have thought that she would one day stand in a guest room of the An family, feeling the place that was closely related to her blood. Suddenly, a servant knocked on the door. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, this is the herbal tea that the old madam asked us to prepare for you. It can replenish qi and blood.¡± Anhao glanced at the things the servant brought in and immediately looked at the servant.¡±¡±Has Old Madam returned to the ancestral hall?¡± The servant smiled and placed the herbal tea on the table in front of her. Then, she took a step back and said respectfully,¡±Replying to Mrs. Zuo, Old Furen has indeed returned to the ancestral hall. However, before we went back, we had already instructed us to prepare this medicinal tea for you.¡± Anhao lowered her eyes and glanced at the cup of herbal tea on the table. The servant said,¡±¡±Our Old Madam¡¯s family used to be a family that inherited Chinese herbal tea and was very famous in America. The reason why Old Madam and Old Master¡¯s health has always been so strong is because they drink the herbal tea personally made by Old Madam all year round. Our Old Madam saw that Mrs. Zuo¡¯s complexion wasn¡¯t too good, and it seemed that you had been sick not long ago, so she specially asked us to send you the herbal tea so that you can drink it before sleeping.¡± Anhao then picked up the cup on the table. It was a little hot, but it was not hot enough to burn her hands. She held it in her hand and looked at the red and yellow water inside. She put it to her nose and sniffed it before taking another sip. It did taste like wolfberries, longan, etc. It was a little like the taste of donkey-hide glue cake, but it was not completely like it. Anhao had never drunk medicinal tea before, so after taking two sips, she suddenly looked at the servant beside her.¡±Is the ancestral hall far from here? Is Old Madam resting now?¡± The servant seemed to understand what Anhao meant and said directly,¡±The ancestral hall is behind the An family¡¯s residence. It¡¯s not far from here, but no one is allowed to enter the An family¡¯s ancestral hall except for the An family. If Mrs. Zuo wants to see the old madam, then wait until tomorrow morning. I¡¯ll help you pass on a message to the old madam. If the old madam is willing to see you, she¡¯ll come here to look for you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Only the An family can enter?¡± Anhao asked calmly. The servant smiled.¡± The ancestral hall is not an ordinary place after all. Since Mrs. Zuo is from China, she should know more about the ancient Chinese traditions. According to the old lady, it is the resting place of the ancestors ¡®souls. If one is not of the An family¡¯s bloodline, they definitely cannot enter it easily because it will disturb the ancestors.¡± Anhao lightly curled her lips and did not say anything. The servant thought that Mrs. Zuo was treating her as an outsider, so she quickly explained,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, please don¡¯t take it to heart. You¡¯re a guest of the An family, so you should be treated as a distinguished guest. However, the ancestral hall is not an ordinary place. Even Miss Anxin has been in the An family for so many years, but she has never been allowed to step into it. If Mrs. Zuo wants to go somewhere else, I can accompany her.¡± ¡°No need.¡± After Anhao drank more than half of the cup of herbal tea, she felt her stomach warm up and her body was sweating a little. She put down the cup and smiled.¡±Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you to pass a message to Old Madam. Tell her that Mr. Zuo and I came to the An family with a very simple purpose and no ill intentions. If Old Madam is willing to meet, please come out and meet her again.¡± The servant didn¡¯t quite understand what Anhao meant, but when she thought about how the old madam¡¯s expression seemed to be much more solemn than usual when she returned to the ancestral hall today, the servant thought about it and didn¡¯t dare to ask any more questions. She only nodded at Anhao.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll pass the message to you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± The cup was already cold. Anhao had taken a shower and changed into light and comfortable clothes. She sat by the bed and looked at the cup that contained the herbal tea. There was no residue at the bottom of the cup, but ever since she drank this cup, she felt an indescribable warmth spreading through her stomach, including her limbs and bones. It was such a magical thing. No wonder Old Master An looked so energetic even though he was already in his eighties. Perhaps even those middle-aged people in their fifties or sixties did not have the same spirit as Old Master An. It turned out that there was a medicinal tea made by the old madam by his side. Looking through the glass, she recalled the first time the old madam looked at her, the sizing and surprise in her eyes, and the words the old madam had said to her after that. Anhao put down her cup and suddenly felt that her existence might not be known only to An Ping. What the old lady said today was worth pondering. The old madam said that An Ping had left the An family more than 20 years ago and had severed ties with Old Master An. She even mentioned that she had found An Ping more than eight years ago. The servant said that the old madam had started eating and living in the ancestral hall eight years ago, and she almost never came out to see anyone¡­ Also, what kind of man had Anping been with in the past to make the old master so dissatisfied? He even mentioned life at gunpoint. That man was An Ping¡¯s lover in the United States? Could it be his father? However, Gu Tianming had said that he only became interested in Anping after she had been working for him for a period of time. Moreover, he had sex with her after getting drunk. This meant that Anping had been in China for a long time at that time. Gu Tianming also mentioned that An Ping had clearly just had sex with another man not long ago. Then who was his father? Was he in America or China? What was his identity? This series of questions gradually entangled into a messy line, and then tightly wrapped into a mystery that was difficult to unravel. The more Anhao thought about it, the stranger she felt. ¡°The Andersons are not as peaceful as you think. Child, these¡­ I¡¯ve made a fool of myself in front of you.¡± An Ping¡¯s words from behind him were still ringing in his ears. Anhao suddenly stood up and placed the cup in her hand on the table. She turned around and was about to leave. Perhaps she couldn¡¯t drag it out like this. Since she couldn¡¯t sleep now, and since An Ping didn¡¯t hide anything in front of her, it was necessary to break this layer of paper to ask clearly. He asked her why she had suddenly died and left him back then, and why she had left her in the Gu family. He asked her why she could abandon her own daughter in China, regardless of whether she was dead or alive, but adopted another girl after returning to the United States. Anhao had just walked to the door and was about to open it when the door was suddenly pulled open in front of her. Zuo Hancheng, who had been chatting alone with Old Master An for a long time, suddenly returned. The moment he opened the door, Zuo Hancheng could feel Anhao rushing out. His dark and calm eyes looked at her face.¡±It¡¯s so late. Why do you want to go out?¡± Chapter 839 - Chapter 839: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (3) Chapter 839: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Wounds (3) The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng and Anhao, her boiling emotions calmed down. However, she did not want Zuo Hancheng to notice the impulsiveness and anxiety in her heart. She could only say,¡±I can¡¯t sleep. I want to go out for a walk.¡± However, just as she finished her sentence, Zuo Hancheng had already walked in. He raised his hand and gently grabbed her shoulder, turning her around. He closed the door with one hand and forced her back into the guest room with the other. ¡°You want to look for Anping?¡± Zuo Hancheng sent her to the bedside and did not let her leave rashly. As he spoke, he glanced at the empty cup on the bedside table. The room was filled with the smell of herbal tea. Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze from the cup to Anhao¡¯s face.¡±You¡¯ve only been in the Andersons for a few hours and you¡¯re already not calm?¡± ¡°I just feel that things seem to be different from what I imagined.¡±Anhao raised her head and looked at him.¡± The old madam seems to have recognized me and seems to know of my existence. Before this, I was just suspicious. But she was so concerned about me and asked the servants to bring me medicinal tea. She even cared about my health. It¡¯s obvious that she¡¯s not as cold as I thought. It¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t recognize me as her granddaughter.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng listened to Anhao¡¯s words and did not refute her. He only looked at the troubled emotions in her eyes and raised his hand to caress her head.¡±I know that you¡¯re very anxious now, but calm down first. Things are indeed different from what you thought, but Mrs. Hunt is not Mr. Hunt. You don¡¯t know the An family¡¯s situation yet. If we expose the matter now, we won¡¯t be able to achieve the effect we want.¡± ¡°What effect?¡± Anhao remembered that Zuo Hancheng had said that he wanted to bring her back to win a battle. Initially, she did have this goal, but now that things were different from what she had imagined, she did not know what to do. Zuo Hancheng did not answer. He simply unbuttoned the exquisite cufflinks on his sleeves and said calmly,¡±¡±Regarding your background, the root of the problem lies with Old Master An. Anping and Old Madam are both the passive ones. As for Anxin¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly paused and changed the topic.¡±¡±In short, now is not the time.¡± ¡°Is my father the man they¡¯re talking about?¡±Anhao suddenly asked. Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He just looked at her. After a short silence, Zuo Hancheng said,¡±¡±Yes.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes met his, and her expression gradually froze. The doubts that weighed heavily on her heart forced her to become even calmer in an instant, as if she was the same as Zuo Hancheng in front of her. There was a condensed yet subtle atmosphere floating in the air. What kind of man and what kind of problem could make Old Master An break off his father-daughter relationship? After all, An Ping was the only daughter and the An family had no other children. If this matter really lingered in the An family for more than 20 years, wouldn¡¯t it mean that the An family had never truly been at peace for the past 20 years? Remembering what An Ping said just now, Anhao asked,¡±¡±Elder An asked you to talk to him just now. What did you talk about?¡± Based on her understanding of Zuo Hancheng, she believed that no matter what Old Master An had seen through, he would not be able to get anything out of Zuo Hancheng. However, she was curious about what Zuo Hancheng would say to Old Master An. Zuo Hancheng smiled faintly as he glanced at the hickeys on her body that were revealed after the foundation that covered her blemishes had been washed off. He raised his hand and his slender fingers fell on her neck. He caressed her gently and ambiguously, causing Anhao to tremble slightly. She quickly raised her hand to slap his hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t touch it. I¡¯m talking to you about serious matters.¡±Anhao slapped his hand away with a serious expression and slightly shrank her neck to avoid his touch. She knew that the places he touched were the places that she had covered with foundation because of the marks he had left on her last night. Anhao felt her head heat up. She avoided him and turned her back to open the window so that the smell of medicinal tea in the room could dissipate and some fresh air could come in. However, Zuo Hancheng did not expose her feelings when he saw how shy she was because she was in the An family¡¯s guest room. He only sighed and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve seen how smart Old Master An is this afternoon. He¡¯s just taking the opportunity to ask something.¡± Anhao¡¯s heart instantly felt at ease when she heard the answer. As expected, she was right. She looked a little like An Ping, even more so than Anxin. If Old An did not suspect anything, it would indeed be abnormal. However, since she was trying to get Zuo Hancheng¡¯s information out, she felt relieved. In any case, he would not be able to get anything out of Zuo Hancheng. Perhaps, the old man would still be tricked by Zuo Hancheng. She could not help but turn around to glance at the black-bellied man, only to see that Zuo Hancheng had already walked towards the bathroom. As soon as she saw Zuo Hancheng enter the bathroom, Anhao¡¯s thoughts were instantly attracted by the figure behind the glass door. Even though Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wounds had already healed, she still remembered how serious the gunshot wounds on his shoulder and abdomen were. She walked over and stood outside the bathroom door, waiting for him to come out of the shower to check on his injuries. If his wound still looked very serious, she should consider reducing the time he spent with the An family or let him go back to recuperate earlier. He could not stay here and accompany her in this tug-of-war with the An family. Just as she was thinking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice suddenly came from inside.¡±¡±The company called just now. I was at Elder An¡¯s place at the time, so I didn¡¯t pick up. Take a look. If it¡¯s Mobai calling, give him a call.¡± Did Zuo Hancheng know that she was waiting outside the door to peek? Anhao could only turn around and look at the phone that he had thrown beside the bed before entering the bathroom. She picked it up and looked at it. It was indeed a call from Mobai. Ever since Zuo Hancheng returned to the United States, he rarely picked up the calls from his company. He would only pick up calls from Mobai. Previously, Zuo Hancheng had said that the company would be handed over to the vice president and Mobai for the time being. The calls from other people might not be of much importance, but since Mobai had called personally, it must be something that Zuo Hancheng had to deal with personally. Anhao returned the call, and the other side picked it up very quickly. Mobai¡¯s voice sounded at the same time as the call was answered,¡±¡±President Zuo.¡± Hearing Mobai¡¯s voice, Anhao suddenly missed A City even more. She couldn¡¯t help but smile and say,¡±¡±Who is your President Zuo? I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo.¡± On the other end of the phone, Mobai was stunned for a moment before he smiled.¡±¡±Anhao? Why did you call me back? Is President Zuo busy?¡± Chapter 840 - Chapter 840: Zuo Hancheng’s Wounds (4) Chapter 840: Zuo Hancheng¡¯s Wounds (4) Anhao turned around and glanced in the direction of the bathroom. She said meaningfully,¡±¡±Yeah, I¡¯m busy.¡± He was busy taking a bath in the bathtub, but he actually left the matter of returning the company call to her. Zuo Hancheng really did not treat her as an outsider. Nowadays, men were usually very guarded, especially rich men. They were especially afraid that the women around them would secretly transfer their assets and secretly empty them. ¡°If he¡¯s busy, I¡¯ll call him later.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s anything urgent, I can help you convey it.¡±Anhao said. ¡°It¡¯s nothing urgent. It¡¯s just some company property rights that require President Zuo¡¯s signature. It just happened to be in my hands. I saw that President Zuo probably hasn¡¯t rested yet, so I called to ask if he had time to look over it.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyebrows suddenly twitched when she heard that. The company¡¯s property rights? ¡°What property rights issue? Wasn¡¯t Shengling Group under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name and had nothing to do with the Zuo family? Then what property rights are you talking about?¡±Anhao was puzzled. On the other end of the phone, Mobai didn¡¯t dare to say anything. President Zuo hadn¡¯t even told Anhao about this, so he definitely didn¡¯t dare to say it himself, so he just casually said,¡±¡±It¡¯s not the kind of property rights dispute you think. It¡¯s just some property rights matters that President Zuo needs to look over. The Zuo family¡¯s business and Shengling Group have indeed had nothing to do with each other for a long time.¡± This time, Mobai addressed her as Mrs. Zuo. Anhao didn¡¯t really understand the meaning behind this, but Mobai casually chatted with her about the company¡¯s recent situation before hanging up because a secretary was looking for him to look at some documents. Anhao laid on the bed and looked at the phone screen that had already darkened. Although she didn¡¯t understand what changes would happen to Shengling Group¡¯s property rights, even if Mobai¡¯s words were flawless, she still felt that this kid was hiding something from her. She didn¡¯t want Shengling Group to change in China. She had been looking forward to it being the last root of her and Zuo Hancheng. She definitely didn¡¯t want to leave A City after she went back. The Zuo Group, the gang leader in Los Angeles, and all that didn¡¯t matter. She just wanted to return to A City and be a simple Mrs. Zuo. Now, she suddenly felt that although the mutual deception in the business world killed people without bloodshed, as long as their brains were not short-circuited, they would basically not be played to death by others. However, in America, she always felt that every step she took was frightening. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened behind her. Anhao snapped back to her senses and almost forgot what she was going to do. She quickly put down her phone and sat up on the bed. She turned to look in the direction of the bathroom and saw Zuo Hancheng walking out in a bathrobe. The wounds on his body were covered by the bathrobe. Other than his neck and face, which were not injured at all, he was wrapped up so tightly that she could not see anything else. This man, who was always scheming with her, would not even let her see his wound. If she had known earlier that she would be forcefully pushed down by him in the villa last night, she would have reached out and turned on the bedside lamp to take a look in advance. Anhao stood up and walked towards him. Just as Zuo Hancheng walked out of the bathroom, she rushed to him with a dissatisfied and domineering expression. She reached out to untie the strap on his bathrobe. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched when he saw the woman¡¯s sudden movement. He looked down at her hand. ¡°Why are you so impatient?¡± The man¡¯s voice carried a hint of teasing laughter, but Anhao couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. She finally understood why the Left Hancheng was so determined to see her wounds. In fact, it was a kind of concern for the person he loved. He wanted to know the extent of the other party¡¯s recovery. Otherwise, he would always be worried. That was what she was thinking now. She could only learn from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s domineering way of undoing his bathrobe. When she undid his bathrobe, the first thing she saw was that his chest, which had been injured by the explosion, had recovered a lot. There were only a few traces of injury, but this was actually the lightest part of his injury. After all, it was only the skin that had been injured by the explosion. As for the wound on his abdomen, the wound from the bullet had been so severe that it looked like his flesh had been exposed. Now, there was a red scar that had scabbed over and new flesh had grown out. She did not know how long it would take for the scar to disappear, but as long as she looked at the long red scar, Anhao¡¯s heart skipped a beat. When Zuo Hancheng had avoided the gunshot wound that was aimed at his abdomen, it was equivalent to escaping a fatal disaster. Otherwise, if the bullet had pierced through his abdomen, she would probably be a widow now! Back then, she was terrified when she was in the cave. Now, the more she looked at him, the angrier she became. She increased the strength of her grip. She did not care that Zuo Hancheng had already raised his hand to push her aside. She immediately went to take off his bathrobe to see the gunshot wound on his shoulder. However, Anhao¡¯s hand had just lifted his bathrobe up a little. Zuo Hancheng, who had only pushed her lightly twice but failed to push her away, suddenly leaned down and kissed her eyes, forcing Anhao to close her eyes passively. At the same time, he covered the wound on her shoulder again. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Anhao could tell what he was trying to do. She raised her hand and pushed his face away in dissatisfaction. She turned to look at the injury on his shoulder. Zuo Hancheng was laughing in a low voice. When Anhao raised her hand to tug at his bathrobe again, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. The desire that had been aroused by this girl was clearly conveyed to her through his deep and husky voice. ¡°If I had known that you were in such a hurry, I would have come back earlier. I¡¯ve been talking to Elder An the entire night. It seems that I¡¯ve left Mrs. Zuo alone.¡±As he spoke, he didn¡¯t give her a chance to explain or be dissatisfied. He directly wrapped his arms around Anhao¡¯s waist and locked her in his arms. As Anhao struggled, he bit her lips. ¡°Oh¡­ Zuo Han¡­Mm¡­ City¡­¡± Anhao turned her head away forcefully.¡± I want to see the injury on your shoulder.¡± Before she could finish her sentence, her lips and tongue were once again captured by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deeper and more forceful entanglement. Anhao could not struggle and raised her hand to hit him. However, she did not know how his wound was recovering, so she did not dare to hit him too hard. In the end, she could only be thrown onto the big bed passively. It was only when Zuo Hancheng laid on top of her and looked down at her from above that Anhao glared at him angrily.¡±¡±This is the Andersons! Don¡¯t¡­¡± The words that came out of her mouth were immediately sealed by his kiss. Anhao struggled under him in a huff. Because of her movements, the bathrobe on his shoulder finally fell off. She turned to look at the wound on his shoulder and stopped moving as if she had wilted. Chapter 841 - Chapter 841: Be gentler (1) Chapter 841: Be gentler (1) Zuo Hancheng¡¯s intention was to divert her attention, but the kiss became more and more intense. Anhao raised her hand in a daze and gently placed it on the wound on his shoulder. That was the most serious part of his injury. Although the bullet did not directly penetrate his shoulder, it was deeply embedded in his skin. She did not know how deep it was. However, when she saw the sudden and hideous wound on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder, she did not feel afraid at all. She only felt uncomfortable. If Zuo Hancheng had not agreed to J¡¯s request because of her, he would not have walked into the manor that was full of ambushes despite knowing the danger. If it was not because of her, he would not have been trapped and almost lost his life. Anhao¡¯s nose was sour, her hands were on his shoulders, gently caressing him, and finally caressing his back. She took the initiative to meet his lips. Her eyes were red as she whispered,¡±¡±This is the An family. Be gentle¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips and tongue wrapped around hers, and while Anhao¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion, he smiled and kissed her gently on the lips.¡±¡±What do you mean by gentler?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao stared at him silently, angry that he asked the obvious, but she still whispered in his ear,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be too intense¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly smiled deeply, his thin lips sucking the tip of her tongue that she had taken the initiative to reach out in response. He tossed and turned in bed and gradually deepened the kiss. His warm palm was tightly clasped on the back of her head, pressing Anhao even harder against his lips. For a moment, Anhao suddenly felt as if she was really a piece of soft flesh on the tip of his heart. Even if it was just a strange feeling, this feeling suddenly made her extremely happy. Their marriage had gone from the beginning to the day she caused trouble for him. He often treated her as a child who needed to correct his outlook on life, guiding her step by step until this day. The two of them could no longer remember how many times they had gone through life and death together. They could no longer remember how many times they had blushed under his body, but every time, she felt that she loved him more, and he seemed to love her more. Anhao still had the same idiotic question as before. Zuo Hancheng, why did you marry me in the first place? However, she could not ask this question because every time she asked him foolishly, he would knock her head and say that she had too many questions. Although he was the one who dragged him to get married back then, and although she was forced by the Gu family¡¯s mother and daughter in the hotel room back then, if it was another girl at that time, would he also use such a hasty method to help? He even used marriage as a way to redeem this girl? From the age of nineteen to twenty-three, she had always loved him carefully. It was only when she saw Zuo Hancheng lying in her arms weakly that night in Shan Ao¡¯s house that she dared to admit that this man had a place in her heart. Other than love, she couldn¡¯t leave him. It was a terrifying emotion that she didn¡¯t want to be separated from him for the rest of her life or even forever. She did not know how to feel that kind of grand love, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s love was like a frog being boiled in warm water, trapping her in the cage of love step by step. If the girl he picked up back then wasn¡¯t her, would he be like this if it was someone else? Anhao suddenly bit him hard when she thought of this question. Zuo Hancheng was slightly stunned by her sudden bite, but their bodies were still tightly pressed together. Anhao did not care if he was looking at her. She bit him hard again until she met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. They were almost touching each other¡¯s eyes, and they could see the dark abyss in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve spoiled the rebellious me until I¡¯m like this now. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re especially scary when I¡¯m not with you for even a second?¡±Anhao heard herself say this. Their lips were still wet from each other¡¯s touch. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand tightened around her waist, and his dark eyes were silent. Anhao¡¯s gaze fell on the wound on his shoulder again. She gently drew English letters on the new piece of tender flesh that had grown out after the wound had healed. When she finished writing the string of ¡± I Love You ¡°, Anhao¡¯s eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance. However, she had already set her eyes on him. In the past, she didn¡¯t understand him enough and always acted like a little girl in front of him. However, from the moment she finally learned to love him, she would learn to be strong and gradually grow into someone who could stand side by side with him. Of course, she did not have the time to express her thoughts. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss had already landed on her lips when her fingers stopped moving. It was a light, starry kiss. It was gentle and entangled. It was so intoxicating that she would rather time stay in this warm and happy moment forever. Gu Anhao, you¡¯ve finally admitted your feelings and your excessive dependence on this man. Everything you have now belongs to him¡­Everything¡­ Anhao¡¯s thoughts were immediately confirmed by the actions of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s men. Not only did everything in her heart belong to him, but everything in her body also belonged to him. In the blink of an eye, this man had pushed her loose dress up. The cold feeling on her chest made Anhao look at the smug yet deep smile in his eyes. Anhao¡¯s lower body was suddenly separated by him, and he did not give her any room to breathe. Anhao¡¯s throat almost let out a sound, but she still remembered that this was the An family. She did not know if there were any servants outside or if there was anyone nearby downstairs. She just glared at the man who had already caused a storm on her body and suppressed her voice to complain,¡±We agreed¡­Don¡¯t be so intense¡­¡± ¡°Who told you that?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and lowered his eyes, kissing and biting her lips. When Anhao could not stand his ups and downs and the force that made her want to cry out every time, he kissed her gently on the cheek and finally moved to her ear, saying in a hoarse voice,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo confessed to me so brazenly. As your biological husband, why don¡¯t you respond to your love with your body?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not saying that I want to chat¡­I mean, be gentle¡­¡± Anhao bit him on the neck, but it had the opposite effect. Zuo Hancheng groaned at her gentle bite like a kitten and leaned over to capture her dishonest lips and tongue. In the end, Anhao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and moaned. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door, as if someone was approaching. Anhao¡¯s entire body tensed up. Chapter 842 - Chapter 842: Be gentler (2) Chapter 842: Be gentler (2) Because of Anhao¡¯s sudden nervousness, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s instinctive tightening almost ended the feast of love that was just about to reach his lips. He resisted the urge to kiss her as if he was punishing and rewarding her. The kiss was so intense that Anhao couldn¡¯t make a sound at all. She even felt the tip of his tongue almost scraping the deepest part of her throat. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, I¡¯ve already delivered the message you asked me to pass to Old Madam. Old Madam said that she¡¯s used to being in the ancestral hall. The quarrel with Old Master in the dining room previously made her depressed, so she needs to stay in the ancestral hall for a few more days to gradually calm herself down. If Mrs. Zuo wants to see her, you can go to the ancestral hall to see her tomorrow.¡± The servant¡¯s voice came from outside the door. Anhao could barely hear it, but she could barely understand it. The old madam wanted him to go to the ancestral hall to look for her. Was this considered admitting that she knew she was An Ping¡¯s daughter? Did she know that she was the real granddaughter of the Andersons? However, Anhao could not think about it at all. The man on top of her almost wanted to occupy her last bit of emotion, not giving her any time to think or talk to the servant. The domineering possessiveness made Anhao turn her head and bite the corner of the blanket when he let go of her lips. She barely managed to hold back the sound of being teased. Furthermore, this man had even deliberately rubbed her like this when she was at her most sensitive¡­ ¡°Mrs. Zuo, have you rested?¡±The servant¡¯s voice came again.¡± Then I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. If there¡¯s anything you need, please feel free to call me downstairs.¡±¡± With that, the servant¡¯s footsteps gradually faded away. Anhao heard the servant walk away and hurriedly raised her hand to push the man on top of her. Zuo Hancheng was still pinching her waist, not letting her get up. The sturdy bed was shaking because of the two people. At this moment, one person resisted the other, but the other person was moving in the opposite direction towards her body. Both of them felt dizzy because of this stimulating feeling. Anhao¡¯s mind was extremely tense, and her body tightened again and again. Both of them reached an unprecedented peak at the same time. Zuo Hancheng suddenly pressed her firmly on the bed at the same time and kissed her fiercely. Anhao¡¯s breathing was completely taken away. Before she could recover from the extreme, Zuo Hancheng gasped on her lips and whispered,¡±¡±You are really becoming more and more like a demon¡­¡± Anhao could not help but twitch under his body. However, because of her sudden twitch, Zuo Hancheng grunted again and kissed her heavily. The desire that had just stopped was aroused again. Anhao realized that he was going to continue after he had finished, so she quickly raised her hand.¡±I don¡¯t want it anymore. Go out¡­¡± However, the stimulation just now had made Zuo Hancheng progress too quickly. He was not completely satisfied at all and was still unwilling to let her go! ¡°Miss, can you put away these clothes? He didn¡¯t have to put it in his suitcase anymore, right?¡± Almost everyone in the An family¡¯s residence did not sleep tonight. What was even more difficult to sleep at night was the peace of mind that An Ping had finally come over to comfort. The room was a mess, and the clothes she had thrown on the floor were all over the floor. The servant saw that she was no longer crying, but she was sitting by the bed and looking in a certain direction as if she was thinking about something. The servant walked in and asked about the clothes, but An Xin ignored him. She had only asked the servant about it and found out that the man from before was Mr. Zuo from Los Angeles. His name was Zuo Hancheng. Actually, when Anxin went out just now, she had wanted to go to Old Master An to explain. However, before she could reach Old Master An, she suddenly saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure walking out of Old Master An¡¯s study room. When she saw Zuo Hancheng, An Xin¡¯s expression immediately turned serious. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression turned cold the moment he saw An Xin. He did not even spare her a glance when he walked past her. Anxin turned around and called out to him, her eyes filled with unwillingness.¡±If you¡¯re here as a guest, then be a good guest. Why did you go against me in the restaurant just now?¡± Zuo Hancheng, who was about to walk back to the guest room, stopped and looked back at her. His eyes were indifferent and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth.¡±Ms. An, you seem to have misunderstood. Since I don¡¯t have any enmity with you, why would I go against you?¡± ¡°You were so straightforward about the cat in front of Grandpa just now.¡±She walked towards him with a peace of mind. When she walked to the man¡¯s tall and straight figure, she could feel that this man was much taller than her. She could feel his gaze looking down at her from above. Her heart skipped a beat. Because she was standing a little close to him, her face could not help but turn a little red, and her voice could not help but soften. ¡°Grandpa has always been biased against me. Although I hid the cat from him, I just didn¡¯t want him to continue to hate me. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, but you ruined my image in Grandpa¡¯s heart. Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me for my mental damage?¡± There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on the good-looking man in front of her. The man in front of her smiled at the same time. However, there was a distance and sarcasm in his faint smile that she could not understand. An Xin¡¯s heart, which was originally pounding, felt a chill down her spine because of his smile. She took a closer look and saw that there was only a faint smile in the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°The Zuo and An families are family friends. I won¡¯t target you, Ms. An. The cat incident was just a coincidence that I knew the price of the cat on the market. I saw that Ms. An described it as a stray cat and told the truth to prevent Mr. An from being deceived.¡± ¡°Have you thought about my feelings when you told me the truth? Grandpa was angry with me at that time, and you added fuel to the fire!¡± Seeing Anxin¡¯s eyes filled with unhappiness, but she was too embarrassed to say anything, Zuo Hancheng curled his lips coldly. His true emotions could not be heard from his smiling voice.¡±The old man is old and doesn¡¯t know much about these new things. If you deliberately deceive him again, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s too much for your grandfather? The elders didn¡¯t teach you to set out to harm you, but you deliberately lied because you were young and the other party was old. This wasn¡¯t a good thing.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes were filled with a vague smile as he turned around and left. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s smile seemed to be bewitching. This man exuded an extraordinary aura from head to toe. She stood where she was and looked at his back. Although she was angry, she still felt that he did not have any ill intentions towards her because of what he said. Chapter 843 - Chapter 843: Looks Similar (1) Chapter 843: Looks Similar (1) No woman would reject a man who was more mature and stable than her, let alone such a good-looking man! ¡°That¡­¡± She looked at his back in relief and said,¡±Actually, I know I was wrong¡­¡± Oh right¡­ How long will you be a guest at the Andersons? I heard that you came to visit my grandfather on behalf of Old Zuo. Can you stay here for a few more days?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not stop walking, but he seemed to have slowed down a little because of her words. When An Xin saw him, she quickly jogged to his side. Her face was a little hot as she looked at the man beside her who looked a little gentle when he lowered his head. Her heart was beating wildly as she said,¡±Is this your first time in New York? If it¡¯s your first time, I¡¯ll accompany you on a walk around Manhattan tomorrow. Anyway, Grandma has returned to the ancestral hall today and won¡¯t be coming out for a while. Grandpa has a bad temper, and he can¡¯t always let you accompany that old man and listen to him nag. Why don¡¯t I be the host and accompany you on a walk¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He merely glanced at her with a faint smile in his eyes. The cold mockery in his eyes only appeared for a moment before it was hidden quietly. An Xin did not see the mockery in his eyes. She only saw his smile and suddenly said with a blush,¡±¡±XXXXXX, this is my phone number. If you want me to go out with you tomorrow, you can call me. Don¡¯t be afraid of disturbing me, I usually wake up early.¡± After saying that, An Xin turned around and ran away shyly. Zuo Hancheng stood where he was and looked at the figure. The mocking smile in his eyes was gradually covered by coldness. In the dark night, the man¡¯s figure stood on the small road of the An residence, tall and cold. ¡°What did you say? You like Zuo Hancheng?¡± An Ping¡¯s face suddenly turned ugly as she stood up and looked at the man who had come to find her so early in the morning. Seeing how agitated her mother was, Anxin was a little confused.¡±¡±I¡¯m also at the age where I should get married. It¡¯s not strange for me to like a man now. Why are you reacting like this?¡± ¡°Why am I reacting like this? Didn¡¯t the servant tell you that the girl who came with her is his wife? Zuo Hancheng is already married!¡± An Ping¡¯s face was ashen. The expectant smile in Anxin¡¯s eyes instantly froze. After a long while, she finally said,¡±¡±Is that woman his wife?¡± Hearing Anxin use such a casual and deliberately ignored tone to describe Anhao, An Ping couldn¡¯t describe the feelings in her heart. She just frowned. ¡°How would I know that he¡¯s married? I didn¡¯t even notice that woman yesterday!¡±Anxin looked unhappy.¡± Besides, when I met him outside last night, he didn¡¯t mention his wife¡¯s name at all. I guess their relationship isn¡¯t good either. Maybe they¡¯ll get a divorce in a few days¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! Anhao and Hancheng have never offended you, how can you say such things!¡±An Ping¡¯s voice rose a few decibels. It was obvious that she was angry. Her mother had never been so angry with her. Anxin endured it and was about to turn around to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly turned around and said,¡±What did you say that woman¡¯s name was?¡± ¡°What?¡± An Ping frowned. ¡°You said¡­Her name is Anhao?¡± Seeing her faint trembling, An Ping was about to walk over to see why the child suddenly had such an expression. Anxin quickly hid the surprise in her eyes and suddenly said hastily,¡±¡±Mom, I¡¯m leaving first!¡± Anxin quickly walked out of the door. After she finally avoided An Ping¡¯s gaze, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she looked in the direction of the guest room. Anhao? For so many years, every time her mother woke up from a nightmare, she would call out the same name, Anhao. There were even two times when her mother was unconscious due to a fever. The moment she finally opened her eyes, she touched her face with tears in her eyes and even spoke to her in a very, very soft voice. However, the name that her mother said was still Anhao¡­ She had never known who Anhao was. She only knew that her mother had left the United States in her early years because she ran away from her marriage. She only came back after more than ten years. After she came back, she had never gotten married and had no children. That was why she had gone to the orphanage to adopt her. She remembered the first time she met her mother. It was three months after An Ping returned to the United States. She had used the An family¡¯s name to make charity donations at an orphanage run by several major Chinese in New York. She had seen her in the crowd at a glance, and then she suddenly stumbled over to her. She squatted down and held her small face, her eyes filled with deep sadness¡­ It didn¡¯t take long for her to be adopted by An Ping. She gave herself a new name, Peace of Mind. She treated her very well, as if she was her own daughter. In the first two years, when her mother looked at her, Anxin always felt that she was looking at another person through her face. Anxin often felt strange and turned around to look, but there was no one there. She had always had a strange feeling, but she couldn¡¯t explain it. Until today. He had already thought of this terrifying idea before, but it was suddenly confirmed at this moment. Did her mother ever give birth to a child in the years that she left the United States? The more Anxin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She also felt even more sore and uncomfortable when she thought about how Anhao was actually Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. She simply walked quickly towards the guest room. Early in the morning, Anhao applied medicine on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder before getting up to clean herself up. Although the wound on his shoulder had healed, it was especially serious at that time. The doctor had instructed him to apply medicine and take medicine on time every day. Zuo Hancheng was pressed down onto the bed by Anhao in a domineering manner. After applying the medicine, he was forced to rest in bed for a few hours before he could get out of bed. After Anhao showered, dried her hair, changed her clothes, and left the house, Zuo Hancheng was still lying on the bed, enjoying Mrs. Zuo¡¯s affectionate service and obeying Mrs. Zuo¡¯s domineering orders. However, the moment Anhao walked out, she bumped into Anxin, who was suddenly walking in her direction. Anxin quickly walked up to her and stared at Anhao¡¯s face. Before Anhao could say anything, Anxin said sarcastically,¡±¡±Do you think that the two of us look alike?¡± Anhao was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Suddenly, Old Master An¡¯s figure approached from not far away. Before Anhao could react, Anxin was shocked. She turned around and saw Old Master An walking over. She quickly turned around and called out sweetly,¡±¡±Grandpa.¡± Chapter 844 - Chapter 844: Looks Very Similar (2) Chapter 844: Looks Very Similar (2) Old Master An¡¯s eyes swept over Anxin¡¯s head indifferently, and he turned to look at Anhao. ¡°Anhao, how did you sleep last night?¡± Anhao turned around and smiled at Grandpa An.¡±¡±I slept very well. Thank you for your concern, Old An. But why is Old An here so early?¡± When Elder An saw Anhao, he somehow felt his mood improve as well. He felt that this child was inexplicably intimate. He smiled and walked over.¡±I¡¯m here to ask you to have breakfast.¡± Anhao looked at the time.¡± It¡¯s almost eight o¡¯clock now. Don¡¯t tell me you haven¡¯t had breakfast yet?¡±¡± ¡°If it was any other time, I would have eaten long ago. Anyway, I¡¯m alone, so I don¡¯t have to wait for anyone.¡±Elder An smiled and said,¡± Today is different. I¡¯ve been waiting for you and Hancheng to go over. If it wasn¡¯t for the servant saying that young people like you have the habit of lazing around in bed and should let you sleep a little longer, I would have come over at around six o¡¯clock.¡± As he spoke, Grandpa An looked behind Anhao and asked with a smile,¡±¡±Where¡¯s Han Cheng? He had always been self-disciplined when he was young. It was impossible that he had not woken up yet.¡± ¡°He did wake up very early, but there are some things he needs to deal with at Shengling Group, so he¡¯s still busy in his room.¡±Anhao casually found an excuse to cover up the fact that Zuo Hancheng was injured. ¡± Alright.¡± Elder An nodded.¡± Then, when you¡¯re done with your work in Han City, remember to come for breakfast.¡±¡± ¡°Alright, Elder An, you can go and eat first. There¡¯s no need to wait for us¡­¡± ¡°How can that do? You¡¯re guests. Let Han Cheng finish his work quickly and have a good breakfast with me. The house is usually not so lively. I¡¯m looking forward to every meal only when you two are here.¡± Old Master An said as he looked at Anhao¡¯s outfit. It was a simple white dress. Although there was no brand on the dress, it was obvious that it was a high-end custom-made dress. Her soft long hair was casually tied into a neat ponytail at the back of her head. She looked energetic and clean, giving people a very comfortable feeling. On the other hand, Old Master An seemed to have just remembered his so-called granddaughter, Anxin, who had been neglected. He ignored the repressed emotions on Anxin¡¯s face and only glanced at her clothes indifferently. She was a girl who grew up in the orphanage. After she came to the An family, not only did she forget her frugal nature, but she also liked to carry bags with especially big logo like a nouveau riche. For example, Chanel and Hermes. The clothes she wore were definitely the latest styles of luxury brands every year. None of the clothes cost less than 10,000 yuan. Even her hair had to be specially styled and maintained at the hair salon every few months. She did not have the so-called style of a socialite at all. Instead, she was a complete nouveau riche. She wanted the whole world to know that she was wearing Chanel and Tiffany, wearing limited-edition custom-made high heels, and using a diamond-studded phone. After a cursory glance at Anxin, Old Master An¡¯s heart felt stifled. His gaze then fell on Anhao¡¯s white dress. Seeing that she was wearing a loose dress, he suddenly said,¡± How long have you and Hancheng been married?¡± ¡°A few years, but I went to Boston to study for three years, so the actual time we spent together was less than a year.¡±Anhao answered honestly. ¡°Then it¡¯s indeed time to have a child.¡±Grandpa An smiled as he looked at Anhao¡¯s clothes.¡±¡±You¡¯re wearing such loose clothes. Don¡¯t tell me you already have one?¡± Previously, Old Master An was jealous because Old Zuo might soon be carrying a great-grandson. Although he still looked jealous now, he at least had some manners in front of her, a junior. Seeing Old Master An¡¯s smiling expression, Anhao curled her lips.¡±¡±I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± She was glad that she didn¡¯t have it yet. After all, she was injured not long ago, and she was poisoned by snake venom. She used serum to expel the poison. If she really had it at that time, it wouldn¡¯t be good for the child. When Elder An heard her answer, he did not continue to dwell on this question. He only smiled and said,¡±There will be young people sooner or later. It¡¯s a pity that this old man will not be able to carry a great-grandson in this lifetime¡­¡± With that, he turned around with a melancholic expression and said as he walked,¡±Go tell Han Cheng that I¡¯m still waiting for you guys to have breakfast.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡± Okay,¡± Anhao replied. She shifted her gaze away from Old Master An and turned to look at Anxin, who was still standing not far away from her. However, Anxin¡¯s expression was very ugly because she had been deliberately ignored by Elder An. However, she had no choice but to hide her emotions. ¡°Miss An.¡± ¡°You came to the guest room so early in the morning. I¡¯m curious what you meant by that sentence just now.¡± Anhao said.¡± She felt relieved because Grandpa Shen would rather wait for Anhao to eat with him than take her, who also didn¡¯t eat breakfast, seriously. When she heard Anhao¡¯s voice, she suddenly turned to look at Anhao. ¡°If you call me Ms. Anderson, what should I call you?¡±Anxin looked at her coldly with an unpleasant expression. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and smiled.¡±It can¡¯t be Mrs. Zuo, right?¡± ¡°You can call me whatever you want. Ms. An and I didn¡¯t get the chance to greet each other in the restaurant yesterday, but this is the second time we¡¯ve met.¡±Anhao¡¯s lukewarm smile did not reach her eyes. ¡°Speaking of this second meeting¡­¡± Anxin suddenly took a step forward, not giving Anhao a chance to leave. She stared at Anhao¡¯s face with a burning fire in her eyes,¡±¡±Last time at the hospital in Los Angeles, did you deliberately find an opportunity to get close to us?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze swept across her face.¡±¡±On purpose?¡± Seeing the disdain in Anhao¡¯s eyes, Anxin immediately glared at her arrogantly.¡±¡±Isn¡¯t that so? What peach-flavored drink? Do you dare to say that you didn¡¯t do it on purpose? You deliberately let my mom notice you!¡± The more Anxin looked at her, the more she felt that the charm between her and her was indeed somewhat similar. When she thought of her mother¡¯s excited expression when she saw her at the orphanage eight years ago, her heart was filled with sorrow and inexplicable fear. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re overthinking things, Ms. An.¡± Anhao¡¯s attitude was calm.¡± I¡¯m sorry. I still have to ask Mr. Zuo to accompany Elder An for breakfast. Please excuse me.¡±¡± After saying that, Anhao turned around and walked back. The room was quiet, and only the sound of Anhao¡¯s shoes stepping on the stairs could be heard. Anxin stared at her back and suddenly walked in. She looked at Anhao at the bottom of the stairs and asked in a barely audible voice,¡±¡±What¡¯s your relationship with my mother?¡± Anhao acted as if she didn¡¯t hear him. She looked down at Anxin, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, and walked up without answering. Chapter 845 - Chapter 845: Suspicion (1) Chapter 845: Suspicion (1) On the first day of her stay at the Andersons, other than Anxin coming over to cause trouble early in the morning, everything was calm. At night, Anhao was about to take advantage of the fact that the old madam was not asleep to find out where the An family¡¯s ancestral hall was. Although the An residence was lit at night and the house was not very dark, Anhao was not familiar with the An family. She did not ask the servant to lead the way and took the opportunity to walk around alone while Zuo Hancheng was showering to look for the An family¡¯s ancestral hall. Just as Anhao was walking down a path that she had never taken before, a figure suddenly walked back in front of her. The moment their eyes met, Anhao¡¯s expression was extremely calm, while An Ping looked at her under the lights of the house at night. Her eyes flickered with the longing and guilt that had been hidden in her heart for many years. Anhao did not seem to notice the guilt in her eyes. She only looked coldly at Anxin, who was walking over quickly from behind her. The moment Anxin saw Anhao, she subconsciously reached out and held Anping¡¯s arm with a possessive expression.¡±¡±Mom, it looks like it¡¯s going to rain soon. Let¡¯s go back.¡± However, An Ping stood rooted to the ground. For the entire day, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng only had a few meals with Old Master An. They did not come to see her for the rest of the time, and it was as if their purpose for coming to the An family had nothing to do with her. But could it really not be related? When she realized that her mother was not leaving, Anxin¡¯s voice was filled with anxiety and disbelief. Could this Anhao really be her mother¡¯s biological daughter? An Xin¡¯s hand tightened around An Ping¡¯s arm.¡±Mom, we¡­¡± ¡°The sky isn¡¯t covered with dark clouds. It¡¯s just a few clouds blocking the moonlight. Why can¡¯t I tell that it¡¯s going to rain?¡±Anhao glanced at the clouds in the night sky indifferently, and the coldness in her tone made An Xin¡¯s heart tremble. Anhao remembered why she had come back. She would not be soft-hearted enough to forgive An Ping for abandoning her after her death just because she saw the pain and guilt in her eyes. He had made his biological daughter suffer the pain of losing her mother for eight years. He had made her sit alone in that small, cold room all night long, hugging her black-and-white photo until dawn. He had made her suffer the pain of being heartlessly abandoned by her mother. How could she forgive him so easily? In fact, An Ping had never given herself an explanation. Anxin felt flustered because of Anhao and her mother¡¯s gaze. She subconsciously tugged at An Ping¡¯s sleeve.¡±Mom, I¡¯m not feeling well today. Grandpa has been lukewarm to me for the past two days. I¡¯m feeling really uncomfortable. I want to sleep in your room. Can you sleep in the same bed as before¡­¡± Anhao smiled when she heard Anxin¡¯s words, but the smile did not reach her eyes. For a moment, the atmosphere in the small path under the light was a little strange. Anhao¡¯s lukewarm gaze lingered on Anxin¡¯s hand for two seconds. Anxin¡¯s hand that had been holding onto Anping¡¯s arm suddenly stiffened. She seemed to have noticed that her mother also felt that this situation was a little awkward. Although she was not convinced, she did not dare to make her mother unhappy. She tried her best to suppress the instinctive coquettishness in her heart and slowly moved her hand away from Anping¡¯s arm. However, Anxin¡¯s careful actions made An Ping think that she seemed to be very afraid of Anhao. She immediately looked up and landed on Anhao, her eyes carrying a silent inquiry. She could tell that she wanted to ask if she had said anything to Anhao, but Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just looked at her calmly, and her eyes were filled with cold mockery. An Ping also instantly realized that she would actually suspect her because of such a small matter. She immediately withdrew the expression in her eyes and turned to Anxin beside her at the same time.¡±If you¡¯re not feeling well, go back to your room first. Ask Auntie Zhao to call a doctor over to see if you¡¯ve caught a cold. Otherwise, why would you suddenly feel uncomfortable?¡± ¡°No need, Mom.¡± Anxin didn¡¯t say anything else, but her eyes were clearly downcast. She looked at Anping with some grievance before turning to leave. Anping turned around to look at Anhao. Just as she was about to speak, Anhao suddenly said,¡±¡± If you catch a cold, take two pills and rest early. Ms. An is already an adult, and you can¡¯t be worrying about yourself like a child. Auntie An is already so old, and she can¡¯t possibly be by your side and take care of you forever. Perhaps one day, you¡¯ll realize that everything that originally belonged to you has been overturned overnight. When a girl is young, she has to learn to take good care of herself so that she won¡¯t be too helpless after being abandoned.¡± Seeing Anxin leave without a word, An Ping felt the faint hostility between the two children. She could not help but say,¡±Child, I know you have a grudge in your heart, but don¡¯t worry. She¡¯s innocent. She was my¡­¡± ¡°How innocent?¡± When Anhao said this, she stared straight at the trace of heartache in An Ping¡¯s eyes, but she didn¡¯t know who she was feeling sorry for. For the biological daughter she had abandoned, or for the adopted daughter who had just left because of jealousy and anger. An Ping¡¯s family background was prominent. It was not overboard for her to go to the orphanage and bring back a child for adoption. However, she had adopted a girl who had a very similar charm to her. She had to leave herself in the Gu family and put her adopted daughter by her side to dote on her. Just as Anping was about to speak, Anhao¡¯s eyes suddenly glanced indifferently in the direction where Anxin had just left. Not far away, there was a flowerbed in full bloom. Anxin didn¡¯t go far, but hid there and eavesdropped on their conversation. Anping also subconsciously glanced in the direction of the flowerbed because of Anhao¡¯s action of turning her head. She immediately understood what she meant and frowned. There were some things that she really shouldn¡¯t let Anxin hear. She was about to turn around and let the child go back first. Just as An Ping was about to pass away, Anhao¡¯s voice suddenly sounded.¡±You still don¡¯t plan to tell me what happened back then?¡± An Ping stopped in her tracks and looked back at Anhao in surprise. She used her eyes to tell Anhao not to let Anxin know about this. Anhao looked at her with a cold smile, which made An Ping¡¯s hair stand on end. She realized that the little princess who had been by her side for fourteen years had changed a long time ago. She had become a complete stranger to her. ¡°Perhaps you don¡¯t understand me well enough now. To me, I won¡¯t even look at what belongs to others. However, if anyone dares to touch something that belongs to me, I might give them a chance to retreat. However, if she doesn¡¯t know how to retreat and instead wants to snatch it openly and secretly, I¡¯ll make her pay the price.¡± An Ping¡¯s face turned even paler. Even Anxin, who was hiding behind the flowerbed, had already turned around and left after hearing these words. Chapter 846 - Chapter 846: Suspicion (2) Chapter 846: Suspicion (2) ¡°Anhao, you¡­¡± An Ping looked at her coldly in disbelief.¡±¡± How can you say that, child? Although Anxin was adopted by me, she is indeed innocent. If you hate her, you can vent it on me. She didn¡¯t want to snatch anything from you, you¡­¡± ¡°Auntie An, do you think I¡¯m robbing you?¡± And this call of Aunt An caused An Ping¡¯s face to lose all color. Anhao looked at An Ping¡¯s expression and suddenly smiled again.¡±¡±Auntie An, why do you look like you¡¯re scared?¡± Sensing the hint of sternness that flashed across Anhao¡¯s eyes, An Ping suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said softly,¡± Anhao, if you want to hear my explanation, I can sit down with you and talk about what happened back then. However, you shouldn¡¯t have used such a method. It¡¯s all my fault. I know you¡¯ve suffered, but Anxin is still your sister in name. She has no intention of snatching everything from you. I don¡¯t want to see my two daughters hate each other because of my problems¡­¡± Anhao watched silently as her mother tried her best to protect her other daughter. He suddenly felt that it was very funny. ¡± Child, you can tell me if you¡¯re wrong or resentful. We can explain everything clearly between us, but don¡¯t treat Anxin like this. She¡¯s an orphan after all, and her background is very pitiful¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s pitiful?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes looked neither sad nor happy at this moment. There was no emotion at all. Her voice was also cold.¡±If she was pitiful, then what was the point of seeing my biological mother die in a pool of blood when I was fourteen?¡± Anhao¡¯s every word pierced into An Ping¡¯s heart coldly. ¡°Anhao¡­¡± ¡°In this world, no one is more pitiful than anyone else. Only someone is more heartless than anyone else.¡±Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind Anhao. Anhao did not turn around when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice. She did not want to reveal her fragile side in front of him again. She had promised to make herself stronger and stronger until she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Therefore, no matter how sad and hateful she was, she did not want Zuo Hancheng to worry about her anymore. However, he still came and saw the scene that she deliberately wanted him to avoid. The moment An Ping saw Zuo Hancheng, she saw that the young man was dressed in a black shirt and trousers. He looked like he had just taken a shower. His black hair was still a little wet, and his hair was still wet. He must have come out to look for Anhao. At the same time, Zuo Hancheng took out a file from somewhere and handed it to her. Anhao noticed the strange look in An Ping¡¯s eyes and turned her head subconsciously. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was holding a folder that she had never noticed that he had brought to the An family. She suddenly looked at Zuo Hancheng, only to see him standing under the light in the An Residence. He looked away from An Ping and lowered his head to look at her, his eyes indifferent. An Ping walked forward and took the file. She felt that it was a little heavy for some reason. Before she opened it, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm voice. ¡°When you were caring for your adopted daughter, your daughter was almost raped by that father surnamed Gu when she was fourteen. At sixteen, her ribs were broken and she fell from the second floor. She ate leftovers and lived in a small house with a leaky roof.¡± ¡°She was beaten up until she was covered in wounds, but because she was not an adult and did not complete her studies, she had no choice but to live in the Gu family. She was rolled her eyes and slapped every two or three days.¡± ¡°Because of her identity as an illegitimate daughter, she was hated and despised. Dead snakes were placed in her room and all kinds of horrible dramas that were terrifying to girls. She was barely able to survive in fear. Even so, she had never used the word ¡®pitiful¡¯ to describe herself.¡± This was the first time that Zuo Hancheng had said such a long sentence. It was also the first time that he stood beside Anhao in a completely protective manner. After all, there were still too many things that An Ping did not know. Just these few words were not enough to describe the cruel treatment she had received in the Gu family for no reason. Anhao did not expect Zuo Hancheng to say these words. She knew that he had investigated her matters, but she had always thought that the matter had been left unsettled. She never knew that he knew better than she did about the wounds that she had suffered innocently. An Ping¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as she looked at Anhao.¡±Impossible¡­¡± Anhao suddenly looked at her and asked,¡±What is impossible?¡±¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I haven¡¯t sent people to investigate secretly after I returned to the United States. I can only be at ease when I¡¯m sure that my daughter is living a healthy and happy life in China!¡±An Ping looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief.¡±¡± I¡¯ve found out that the Gu family sent Anhao to the best junior high school and high school in City A. Later, I found out that Anhao got married very early and married you, Zuo Hancheng. She should be living a very happy life. It¡¯s definitely not what you said!¡±¡± Hearing An Ping¡¯s response, Anhao suddenly laughed. However, her eyes gradually turned red from laughing.¡± You were right. The Gu family did send me to the best school. I¡¯m living a very happy life.¡± Even though their 14 years of mother-daughter relationship was right in front of her, when she saw An Ping¡¯s agitated rebuttal, she suddenly felt that all the stubborn things in her heart had been shattered in an instant. Did you investigate her life in China after you returned to America? The sneer in Anhao¡¯s eyes pierced An Ping¡¯s eyes. She suddenly went forward and grabbed Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±Anhao, Mom just¡­¡± ¡°What mother? Who¡¯s my mom¡¯s? Anhao suddenly interrupted her coldly. When An Ping¡¯s eyes were red and she was holding her hand tightly, Anhao pulled her hand away indifferently and retreated to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side. When she felt Zuo Hancheng¡¯s warmth next to her, Anhao said indifferently,¡±My mother died a long time ago. She died under the stairs of the Gu family and in front of me.¡± Anping¡¯s hand trembled as she reached over. However, before she could touch Anhao¡¯s face, she didn¡¯t dare to touch her because Anhao¡¯s eyes were gradually turning red as she sneered coldly. ¡°Anhao¡­¡± An Ping could not accept everything that Zuo Hancheng had just said. She cried and wanted to hug her child, but Anhao¡¯s cold expression and retreating expression rejected her. ¡°Weren¡¯t you still suspecting me of hurting your adopted daughter in order to snatch everything that originally belonged to me?¡±Anhao smiled casually. Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on Anhao¡¯s shoulder. It was obvious that he had heard everything that she had said just now. He knew how badly her mother had hurt her inside, despite her cold exterior. At the same time, a figure suddenly walked out from behind the flower garden. Anhao heard the sound of footsteps and turned her head subconsciously. She was surprised to see Old Master An, who had walked over at some point in time. Chapter 847 - Chapter 847: The Wedding I Owe You (1) Chapter 847: The Wedding I Owe You (1) This was not the first time she had bumped into Elder An while talking about these secrets. She did not know how much he had heard. Anyways, Anhao was looking at Elder An¡¯s direction with a complicated expression in her eyes. An Ping turned around because of Anhao¡¯s gaze. When she saw Elder An appear, she immediately suppressed her emotions that were about to collapse. However, there were still red marks in her eyes from crying, causing Elder An, who had already walked closer, to look at them with a lonely and solemn expression. ¡°It¡¯s already so late. It¡¯s not strange for Anhao and Hancheng, two young people, to be unable to sleep and take a walk in the An Residence.¡±Elder An¡¯s voice sounded extremely oppressive at this moment. At the same time, his old but distinct gaze was somewhat sharp as he looked into An Ping¡¯s slightly red eyes. Everyone standing there was sensitive enough to detect a trace of abnormality in his attitude. Elder An immediately turned to look at Anhao, only to see that Anhao¡¯s eyes were indifferent. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side profile was cold, but he stood beside Anhao. In front of them, there was an invisible and discernible sense of oppression. ¡°Dad.¡± An Ping collected her emotions and turned to face Elder An. However, a trace of hatred that was similar to Anhao¡¯s flashed across her eyes. Although An Ping¡¯s voice was filled with respect, it was obvious that she did not put any emotion into this form of address. ¡°What are you guys talking about here? I heard Anhao talking when I got closer. What harm? What adopted daughter? What fight? Did Anxin say something she shouldn¡¯t have in front of you? Or was there something wrong with the An family?¡± It wasn¡¯t that Anhao couldn¡¯t hear the probing tone in Elder An¡¯s ordinary-sounding words. Anhao curled her lips and didn¡¯t say anything else. Actually, she was also very curious about how long An Ping planned to hide it from Old Master An. After all, she was no longer the fourteen-year-old she was. Even if Old An did not recognize her when the truth came out and chased her away, she would not have to live on the streets because she was too young and could not make a living. The truth was so close to her, but An Ping stubbornly did not reveal it to Old Master An. Anhao remembered that when she was young, her mother was a brave, strong, and strong-willed woman. She was definitely not the woman in front of her, who had not aged much after the baptism of time, but whose eyes were obviously dim and even compromised with fate. ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve returned to my own home at the Andersons. How can there be anything that I don¡¯t like?¡±Anhao suddenly opened her mouth, but her words contained many layers of meaning. Elder An also felt that there was something in her words, but Anhao¡¯s gaze did not give him any more information. She raised her hand to tuck the stray hair on her cheek behind her ear and said with a clean smile,¡±¡±As you know, I¡¯ve been preparing for pregnancy recently, but I fell ill a few days ago and haven¡¯t been feeling very well. Now, I¡¯m planning to go back and find a familiar doctor to help me check on my physical condition, so I might not be able to stay for a few more days.¡± After hearing Anhao¡¯s explanation, Elder An did not say anything at first. Instead, he suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from him. However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold and sharp gaze was almost imperceptible. Although it was well concealed by the stable and calm smile on the surface, Elder An had lived for so long that he could not even see this. The reason why Zuo Hancheng and Anhao came to the An family was indeed as he had thought. It was definitely not simple. What he had never expected was that this matter seemed to be related to An Ping. Then, he looked at Anping¡¯s seemingly calm face and the red marks in her eyes that had yet to fade. His gaze swept across her face, and then suddenly landed on Anhao¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s not uncommon to see people who look alike in this world.¡±Grandpa An suddenly spoke, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Anhao.¡±¡± Previously, Anxin¡¯s charm was similar to Anhao¡¯s. Now that I¡¯m standing here, I realize that Anhao and your Aunty An are even more alike. There are only a few people in the An family, but there are three women in total who look so similar. If I wasn¡¯t sure that you¡¯re the Madam of Han City and not some swindler, I would have suspected something¡­¡± Elder An¡¯s words were very meaningful and had a very strong purpose. When he said this, he looked at Anhao¡¯s face with a smile in his eyes, but when his gaze fell on Anping¡¯s face, his eyes carried a hint of coldness as if he was interrogating her. ¡°Dad, Anhao and Hancheng are fated to be with me. I was just talking to Anhao about her childhood. I feel sorry for her, but I can¡¯t bear to let them leave so soon.¡±An Ping suddenly opened her mouth, her voice carrying a suppressed calmness.¡± It¡¯s rare for a young man to hit it off so well with me. Hancheng has made a name for himself at such a young age. He never relied on the Zuo family¡¯s assets, nor did he take over the family business because he was the heir of the Zuo family. On the contrary, Shengling Group, which he founded, had a deep influence in America at that time. Later, it moved to China. As an elder, my achievements and reputation over the years have made me sigh.¡± At this point, An Ping seemed to have unintentionally brought the topic back to Anhao.¡± And Anhao. Although she¡¯s young, she¡¯s smart, sensible, and cultured. She¡¯s the same age as Anxin, so I always treat her like my own daughter. I really wanted to keep them for a few more days, so I chatted with them a little more.¡± Grandpa An continued to look at Anhao without batting an eyelid. His gaze lingered on Anhao¡¯s face for a long time before he said coldly,¡±¡±Of course Mrs. Zuo is much better than your adopted daughter. How can a daughter-in-law who is protected by Hancheng be like Anxin, who is spoiled by you? Comparing Anxin with Anhao, I think you¡¯re thinking too much. Mrs. Zuo isn¡¯t just someone else¡¯s granddaughter-in-law, she¡¯s also someone else¡¯s child. No matter how envious you are, it¡¯s not yours.¡± The old master¡¯s words were completely sarcastic, but An Ping was not unhappy at all. Instead, she looked at Anhao and smiled.¡±Yeah, I envy Anhao¡¯s mother for having such an outstanding daughter.¡± Anhao was too lazy to analyze the conversation between father and daughter. However, Old Master An had already started to suspect something, or perhaps he already knew something. She could tell from his attitude. ¡°Elder An, you don¡¯t have to praise me like that. I was once just a child who was abandoned by my own mother. In the past, my rebellious and willful nature was more troublesome than An Xin. It¡¯s just that Zuo Hancheng has been by my side all these years to establish a correct outlook on life for me, so I¡¯m no longer as ridiculous as before.¡± Chapter 848 - Chapter 848: The Wedding I Owe You (2) Chapter 848: The Wedding I Owe You (2) As Anhao spoke, she looked at the probing look in Elder An¡¯s eyes with a faint smile and continued,¡±¡±What you see on the surface might not be the real me, and what you believe on the surface might not be the truth.¡± Elder An¡¯s sharp gaze landed on Anhao¡¯s face. Old Master An was not an ordinary old man who was muddle-headed. He was already guessing something, but now, Anhao¡¯s words seemed to confirm his guess. However, Old Master An was observing Anhao carefully, as if he wanted to find out more about her. At this moment, Anhao turned to look at Zuo Hancheng who was beside her. He had always respected her choice. Other than putting all the things she had been through in the Gu family into a file bag and handing it to An Ping, he did not help her make any other choices. The moment she lifted her eyes, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was also on her. It was indifferent and calm, but it could easily break a person¡¯s heart. After exchanging pleasantries and turning around to leave without hesitation, Elder An looked at Zuo Hancheng and Anhao¡¯s backs with a clear look in his eyes. Finally, he turned to look at An Ping, who was beside him, and then at the file in her hand.¡±Follow me to the study.¡± ¡°Dad, what do you want to talk about? Let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow.¡±However, An Ping¡¯s voice refused. Under Old An¡¯s serious and unhappy expression, she said calmly,¡±I¡¯m a little tired today. I¡¯ve had headaches for the past few years, and now my head is hurting.¡± ¡°Is that Anhao related to you?¡±Grandpa An did not give her any time or chance to escape. He stood there and looked at her coldly.¡±Tell me the truth. Did you have any children during the ten years you were in China?¡± An Ping¡¯s face was slightly pale, but she suddenly turned her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a cold smile and hatred as she looked directly at the obvious pressure in the old man¡¯s eyes. ¡± What do you think? Elder An¡¯s breathing instantly stopped. His eyes were fixed on An Ping, who had always seemed calm and collected after returning to the An family for the past few years. This daughter, who had been baptized by the passage of time, was already over fifty years old. She was no longer the young and flamboyant young man from more than twenty years ago who was willing to fall out with him for the sake of a man he liked. ¡°I want the truth from you. Don¡¯t keep me in suspense! From the first time I saw Anhao, I felt that that girl resembled you a lot. It was completely different from Anxin¡¯s pure charm! At the beginning, I was only suspicious of the relationship between the two of you, but I didn¡¯t think deeply about it. But in these two short days, the fire between you two, the old man, I didn¡¯t know what to do, so I couldn¡¯t see what was hidden in it.¡± Elder An looked at her sternly.¡±When you came back that year, your mother said that you were married in China but divorced. Did you give birth to a child in China? Is Anhao your daughter?¡± Is Anhao your daughter? This sentence made An Ping tightly grip the file in her hand. Her expression was cold and she did not say a word. ¡°If she is the child you gave birth to in China, who is the father of the child? Now that you¡¯re here, how long do you plan to hide it from me?¡±¡±Do I even have a granddaughter? My biological granddaughter!¡± Elder An said angrily with a cold and sharp tone.¡± However, An Ping still only sneered.¡± You¡¯re getting on in years. You¡¯re no longer as stubborn as you were when you were young. You¡¯d rather chase everyone away than accept those people or things that you refuse to accept. And now, she actually sent her wish of having a biological granddaughter to me. So what if I had given birth? So what if I didn¡¯t give birth? To you, Anxin is your granddaughter, isn¡¯t she?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk about that girl who was adopted from the orphanage! For so many years, no matter how much you loved her, I had never seen her with the same gaze as you used to look at Anhao! You still refuse to tell the truth? Why do you have to force me to expose all these dirty laundry in front of Hancheng and Anhao?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not afraid of losing face, I¡¯ll let you do whatever you want.¡±After An Ping finished speaking indifferently, she turned around and walked away with the file in her hand. ¡°You!¡± Old Master An glared at An Ping¡¯s back, his chest heaving up and down in anger. Elder An felt as if the truth was about to be revealed. Although these people had deliberately kept it a secret from him, he still remembered Zuo Hancheng¡¯s unfathomable attitude when he asked him to go out and talk to him last night. At that time, he had suspected Anhao¡¯s background. After all, that child was too similar to Anping, and he had an inexplicable liking for Anhao. He had asked Zuo Hancheng about it at that time, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s answer sounded casual and just right. He did not admit or deny it, but threw the mystery back at him. He could not dig out even a trace of the truth from Zuo Hancheng. On the other hand, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wisdom, upbringing, experience, and calm attitude made Old Master An suspicious. Why would Zuo Hancheng, who was usually so busy that he did not have time to visit his relatives, bring his wife to the An family? It was as if he had realized that he had been played around by a group of young people, and that the culprit was his daughter, An Ping. Old Master An¡¯s eyes were filled with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it! The truth was laid out before her eyes. The few years when Anhao was in the Gu family, the hospital records of her being beaten up until her skin was bruised and even seriously injured, were all vivid in her mind. The most serious incident was Anhao lying in the hospital with broken ribs when she was 16 years old, and there were photos recorded by cameras when she was hospitalized. In the dimly lit ward, the weak and thin child was completely different from the little Anhao in her memory who liked to laugh and play around with Yi Zeyang. She was so small and thin, lying quietly on the hospital bed alone. There was no one in the ward, not even a fruit basket. With her injuries so bad, other than the occasional professional visits from the cold doctors, no one came to see her. Through the blurry photo, he could feel the helplessness and loneliness emanating from Anhao, as well as the compromise and fear that lingered around her because she was young and incapable. ¡± When you were taking care of your adopted daughter, your biological daughter was almost raped by that father surnamed Gu when she was fourteen. At sixteen, her ribs were broken and she fell from the second floor. She ate leftovers and lived in a small room with a leaky roof. She was wearing tattered clothes that other people didn¡¯t want and her body was covered in bruises¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice reverberated in her ears. An Ping raised her hand to cover her mouth and sat in the room, trying hard to suppress her tears. How could this be¡­The daughter that she treated like a treasure, the daughter that she had tried her best to hide in China, the daughter that she wanted to protect, how could this be¡­ Chapter 849 - Chapter 849: The Wedding I Owe You (3) Chapter 849: The Wedding I Owe You (3) Anhao, who had returned to her room, did not have it easy. She thought that she could maintain the strength and demeanor she had in front of An Ping and Old Master An just now, that she could not care less. However, in her eyes and heart, she was thinking about how Anhao felt uneasy because An Ping suspected that she had said something to Anxin. It was all because of the look An Ping had given her. It was as if he was a sword wielder who had returned to haggle over every single detail with a pitiful adopted daughter. It was as if he had revealed the truth in front of everyone in the An family, and at the same time, he would cause the entire An family to be in turmoil. It was as if his return was wrong, as if he was the culprit who caused all these mistakes. She could abandon her, she could deny it, she could die suddenly, and she could also let others call her mother. The only thing Anhao couldn¡¯t stand was the look that Anping had given her. After entering the room, Anhao stood in the room with her back facing Zuo Hancheng. Her shoulders, which seemed calm at the beginning, were trembling. It was not until Zuo Hancheng suddenly pushed her away that he saw Anhao, who rarely cried in front of him, crying like a sea. She was no longer the warrior she was when she was outside. She was a fragile, helpless, sad, and sad girl who did not know what to do. The last time Anhao had cried in front of him was the only time she had ever cried before. It was when he was extremely angry and had picked her up from Rong Qian on the way back to Liu Jing Garden. In the car, she was afraid and sad. She even wanted to exaggerate and scare him, so she cried loudly at him. At that time, although Anhao cried endlessly, she was mostly angry and coquettish. However, Anhao was really sad now. Her tears were like a dam that had broken its banks and poured out. Under Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, she seemed unwilling to admit the small wounds that were hidden in her heart. Although these wounds were small and seemed to have healed a long time ago, the pain hidden deep inside was like a needle piercing into her heart. ¡°If you want to cry, come to my arms and cry.¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on the back of her head and pulled her into his arms. Anhao didn¡¯t resist. When her head was pressed against his shoulder, she was afraid that her tears would drown the wound on his shoulder, so she suddenly moved on his shoulder and turned her head to bury her face on his other shoulder. At the same time, she grabbed his sleeves tightly. Tears fell in large streams, from the silent tears at the beginning to the sobs. In the end, she suddenly burst into tears as if she was indulging herself and venting her anger. She cried for her mother, who had fallen into a pool of blood when she was 14 years old and bid farewell to her with a weak gaze. She cried for her unclear background and the life that she lived in the Gu family, which was worse than a pet dog. She cried about how her life was almost ruined because of her wrong outlook on life, and about the fear she had suffered for no reason. He cried for the pitiful person who hid in the corner and hugged his mother¡¯s photo in the dark. He cried for the person who finally saw his mother after more than eight years, but refused to lower his head because of hatred. However, because he acted too strongly, his mother mistakenly thought that he wanted to come back and fight for something. Zuo Hancheng could hear Anhao¡¯s cries. This girl had never cried so freely before. It wasn¡¯t like the half-crying and half-acting she had done in the car to scare him off. She was really crying. Her cries were incessant, as if she was heartbroken. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was firmly placed on the back of her head. The warmth in his palm gave her comfort and strength. It was the only thing that Anhao trusted and could not let go of. Anhao cried for a long time. If it weren¡¯t for the soundproofing of the guest room, the servants who passed by would have thought that something unexpected had happened. However, her crying made Zuo Hancheng, who had been holding her quietly, even more silent. He tightened his grip on her body to comfort her. His heart ached, and¡­ For a moment, Zuo Hancheng started to regret his decision. He regretted bringing Anhao back to touch the wounds that had been hidden in his heart for more than eight years. He regretted reopening the wounds that had long been healed. He regretted calling out the little hedgehog curled up in the corner and peeling open her wounds to show everyone the fresh blood on it. He said that he would bring her back to the An family to win a battle. In the end, he was just satisfying his own selfish desires. Fortunately, she had always been passive by his side. Every step she took seemed to be for her own good, but these wounds were peeled open by him in a cruel and selfish way. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome brows were slightly furrowed in a place that Anhao could not see. There was an imperceptible heaviness in his expression. Anhao cried for an unknown period of time. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and she cried until her eyes were in a daze and her head hurt. Finally, she felt good crying. It was as if she had finally vented all the depression and sadness that had accumulated for many years in front of someone. In the end, she got tired of crying, so she sniffled and leaned her face against his wet shoulder. ¡°I want to go home.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was a little hoarse because of her crying earlier. Her voice was very low, but fortunately, she was right beside Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ear, so he could hear her clearly. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand gently caressed the back of her head with a little love and heartache.¡±¡±Alright, we¡¯ll leave tomorrow. I¡¯ll take you home.¡± ¡°The Andersons will definitely not be at peace anymore. Elder An seems to have suspected something long ago. Those words just now should be considered a deep-water bomb.¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was still soft, but it was a little cold.¡±¡±No matter what the outcome is, I have still thrown a deep water bomb here. I do not ask them to acknowledge me. However, since I have already come, I cannot leave without a trace before I leave. That is why I said those words in front of Elder An just now. Do you think that I am unable to hold back¡­¡± ¡°No, this is good. As long as you¡¯re happy.¡±Anhao felt that it was strange that Zuo Hancheng was going along with her. Although Zuo Hancheng usually doted on her, she was flattered by his willingness to go along with her. She lifted her head to look at him, but the first thing she saw was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome chin. She suddenly felt that he must be hiding his disgust after crying so badly just now, so she decided not to look at his face. Anhao continued to lean her head lazily on his shoulder. Her two little hands were fiddling with his sleeves and the high-quality shirt he was wearing. She continued to fiddle with it until Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clean and flat shirt was crumpled, as if he had just been ravaged by her. She broke into a smile as she leaned in his arms. Her hands were still fifiddling with his shirt, too lazy to leave. Chapter 850 - Chapter 850: The Wedding I Owe You (4) Chapter 850: The Wedding I Owe You (4) Anhao¡¯s hands were not obedient, and Zuo Hancheng allowed her to do whatever she wanted with him. However, this girl ended up biting his shoulder directly, her teeth rubbing against the fabric of his shoulder as if she was venting her anger in a different way. Zuo Hancheng suddenly asked,¡±Are your tears delicious?¡±¡± Anhao paused and lowered her head to look at the wet clothes on his shoulder that she was biting. She immediately opened her mouth and secretly stuck out her tongue to get rid of the salty taste. However, she suddenly heard the laughter coming from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s chest. She looked up at the man who was laughing with a dissatisfied expression.¡±What are you laughing at? Do you feel great seeing me cry?¡± Zuo Hancheng low laugh and hand in her head caress caress caress, some deliberately ruffled her hair: ¡°Girl, if you don¡¯t cry, you¡¯ll shake the heavens and earth when you cry. If you have the ability to ruin my clothes, then take them off. You haven¡¯t even taken off your clothes.¡± Anhao paused for a moment, and her face turned red when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s dirty joke. She sniffed and buried her face in his arms like a coquettish child. She whispered,¡±¡±If we go back to A City tomorrow, what about the Zuo family, Grandpa, Zuo Yue, and Dad and Mom?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make the necessary arrangements. Don¡¯t worry.¡±Zuo Hancheng held Anhao, who was hanging on his body like a koala due to crying too hard, firmly in his arms.¡±¡±There are some truths that are not worth exploring. Living too clearly is indeed not in line with your personality.¡± ¡°What do you mean by living and understanding? Do you mean that I¡¯m usually very muddle-headed?¡± Anhao looked up and rolled her eyes at his chin. In his heart, he was secretly complaining about the truth! However, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response to her was a lingering and loving kiss. The kiss sucked away the salty tears on her lips, then slowly moved to her eyes and kissed all the tear-stained spots on her face. Perhaps it was because Anhao had vented her anger after crying, but she didn¡¯t feel as bad anymore. No matter how much the world abandoned her, no matter how cruel it was, she still had Zuo Hancheng. Even if she did not want anything, did not ask anything, and did not pursue anything, it did not matter. As long as she still had Zuo Hancheng, the man who had stepped into her life when she was nineteen. Anhao¡¯s eyes were swollen like walnuts. She didn¡¯t dare to sleep too early, afraid that the traces of crying would be too obvious when she woke up tomorrow morning, so she specially took a hot bath. However, the swelling in her eyes didn¡¯t go down, so she tried her best not to sleep. In the end, she was inevitably caught by Zuo Hancheng and had sex with him twice. After the sex ended, the two of them showered and came out. Anhao leaned into his arms, feeling refreshed but lazy. She was bored and picked up the laptop beside the bed to browse the web and read the news to refresh herself. In short, he could not sleep until his eyes were swollen. She had just turned on her computer and browsed the web. She had wanted to check on the recent situation of Shengling Group. After all, she had not been back for a while. She did not know if the vice president or assistant would try to usurp the position of Shengling Group when Zuo Hancheng was not around. Even though she trusted Mobai a hundred percent, she was still curious and was about to type in the words Shengling Group. However, an arm suddenly appeared in front of her. He typed a few English words on the keyboard in front of her. Anhao was stunned. It was only when Zuo Hancheng typed a few more words that she realized that he was typing a website address. The moment the webpage popped up under his finger, Anhao stared blankly at the various high-end custom-made wedding photos on the webpage. Her eyes were still swollen and a little astringent as she turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. However, he was so calm as if he had been prepared for this. He threw the web page to her and said,¡±¡±What style do you like? You can choose whether it¡¯s domestic or overseas.¡± Anhao suddenly recalled what Zuo Hancheng had told her a few days ago. He still owed her a wedding and wedding photos. Anhao suddenly sniffled. Of course, it wasn¡¯t because she was so touched that she wanted to cry, but the sourness on her nose betrayed her somewhat agitated emotions. Zuo Hancheng was taking her to take wedding photos¡­ The two of them had been married for four years. Although they were separated by three years in their middle age, they could be considered an old couple. Although Anhao was still brooding over the fact that he had confiscated the ring, he was actually taking her to the wedding photoshoot now. ¡°You don¡¯t like the style of this restaurant?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows when he saw that there was no reaction for a while. ¡°No, this is the largest wedding photography studio in the country. I¡¯ve heard that they have so many chains in the country and overseas. I think the styles are quite varied, and they cover almost all the styles of wedding photography in the country and abroad.¡± As Anhao spoke, she hugged her laptop and tapped on the mouse with her fingers. She began to choose seriously. ¡°If you like freedom, you can find a friend who likes photography to take some different styles. Of course, anything is fine. As long as it¡¯s a wedding photo, you can do whatever you want.¡± ¡°That good?¡± Anhao looked at him in disbelief.¡± ¡°I still have time to accompany my wife to get married.¡± Anhao instantly smiled and her eyes didn¡¯t look so swollen anymore. Last night, she was so excited that she chose the style of the wedding photos and only went to bed in the wee hours of the morning. Even Zuo Hancheng, who had always stayed up late because of work, could not keep up with her. Although she only slept for a short while, Anhao still had some things on her mind. Although she didn¡¯t officially reveal her identity in the An family, she needed to see the old madam in the ancestral hall before she left. She had only slept for less than two hours when she sneaked out of bed. While Zuo Hancheng was still asleep, she quietly washed up and changed her clothes before she sneaked out of the guest room. Last night, she had wanted to look for the old madam. There were only a few roads in the An family home. This time, she walked in another direction and confirmed that it was in the direction of the ancestral hall. When they finally saw the so-called An family ancestral hall, they realized that it was the most secluded place in the An family. There was no one around, only a lush garden and some ice blue flowers that looked a little wilted in summer. Just as Anhao was about to walk over, Mrs. Anderson walked out of the ancestral hall at the same time. However, the moment she saw Anhao, her eyes were as calm as ever, but suddenly turned into fear. Anhao was about to walk over, but before she could understand the fear in the old lady¡¯s eyes, she suddenly felt something hit her on the back of her neck. She staggered and felt dizzy until she fell into darkness. Chapter 851 - Chapter 851: How Will I Take Revenge On You (1) Chapter 851: How Will I Take Revenge On You (1) ¡°Mister Zuo! Mr. Zuo! Not good-¡± There was a loud cry outside the guest room, and Zuo Hancheng suddenly opened his eyes. Last night, he accompanied Anhao to look at her wedding photos too late, and the little girl had not been obedient in his arms. It was rare for her to be so sleepy that she did not even notice when Anhao left the bed. Hearing the servant¡¯s call, Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows as soon as his hand touched the cold temperature on the side of the bed. There was no sleepiness in his eyes at all, and they quickly returned to clarity. Just as the maid approached and knocked on the door, Zuo Hancheng opened the door and saw the maid with panicked eyes.¡±What¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo¡­Mrs. Zuo was missing! And the old madam, I don¡¯t know how she was knocked unconscious. When she was sent to the ambulance just now, the old madam showed signs of waking up. She said that Mrs. Zuo was kidnapped¡­¡± The servant saw that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes turned completely black the moment he heard this. The lines on his handsome face instantly tightened. There was only a second of silence in front of the door. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word and walked past the servants and walked out quickly. ¡°Mister Zuo!¡± The servant quickly jogged over.¡±Don¡¯t be anxious. Our servants found the old madam unconscious in the ancestral hall. There were no obvious injuries on the old madam, but she couldn¡¯t wake up no matter how hard we tried. We had no choice but to call the ambulance. However, as soon as she was carried into the ambulance, the old madam woke up weakly for more than a minute. She kept mumbling weakly that Mrs. Zuo had been kidnapped. She kept mumbling this sentence. We don¡¯t know what exactly happened, but don¡¯t be too anxious. Old Master has quickly sealed off all the entrances and exits of the An family. He will definitely find Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± However, the servant could not continue speaking. Although Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else, it was obvious that he was angry from the speed at which he rushed to the ancestral hall and his cold side profile. Outside the ancestral hall, An Ping and Old Master An were in the area where Anhao had gone missing, talking to the police who had just arrived. They turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, but no one dared to say a word to him. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression was calm and calm, but when he approached, the atmosphere around him was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, making it difficult for people to breathe smoothly. ¡°Hancheng, don¡¯t worry. We will find a way to get Anhao back as soon as possible.¡±Old Master An was the head of the family after all. He frowned and said, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the spot where Anhao had gone missing. It was an open area twenty meters outside the ancestral hall. Surrounding them were tall flowerbeds, enough to accommodate people with ill intentions. ¡°The Andersons have surveillance equipment everywhere, and the security facilities have always been perfect, except for the ancestral hall.¡±Old Master An saw the cold probing look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and walked over to him.¡±The ancestral hall is the place where our ancestors hibernate, so there¡¯s no surveillance equipment installed. Moreover, there are rarely gardeners workers here to build those naturally growing flowerbeds. This is our An family¡¯s negligence¡­¡± ¡°There are surveillance cameras in the front yard.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at Elder An coldly. ¡°There¡¯s one in the front yard, but not in the back,¡± Elder An said after a pause. There is a small private hot spring behind the ancestral hall. The two of us are getting old and haven¡¯t been to the hot spring for many years. As for your Auntie An and Anxin, they rarely stay at home. If there was an opportunity for the people who came to kidnap Anhao, it would probably be a small hot spring at the back. The hot spring¡¯s mouth is connected to an old residence of the An family that has not been occupied for decades. No one has taken care of it in recent years. I¡¯m afraid that someone opened the entrance to the old house, but we didn¡¯t notice it.¡± ¡°Han Cheng, has your Anhao offended anyone recently?¡±After An Ping found out that Anhao had gone missing, she was forced into a panic. Instead, she looked at Zuo Hancheng with an unusually calm expression.¡±The other party sneaked into the An family and deliberately took Anhao away. Their goal is obviously to take Anhao away. Did you offend anyone?¡± Although An Ping¡¯s tone sounded calm, the hand that was quietly clenched into a fist by her side was extremely cold. He stood beside her at ease and placed his hand on An Ping¡¯s hand. He said softly,¡±Mom, don¡¯t be anxious. Don¡¯t be anxious. Grandma has just been taken away by the ambulance. Control your emotions. Don¡¯t be too anxious¡­¡± Anxin¡¯s voice was soft, but Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold eyes suddenly turned to the mother and daughter. Seeing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, An Ping frowned. However, before she could say anything, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s footsteps replaced his cold emotions. He got closer and closer, step by step, until he was in front of her. That clear and distinguishable sense of oppression came over her again. An Ping thought of the things in the file that he had handed to her last night. She thought of the things that Zuo Hancheng had personally placed in her hands about Anhao¡¯s encounters in the Gu family over the past few years. An Ping was anxious now, but she couldn¡¯t say anything. She only felt that the young man in front of her seemed to have the same coldness in his eyes as Anhao¡¯s last night, forcing her to have nowhere to hide. ¡°Anhao¡¯s enemy?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice sounded slowly and deeply. When everyone, including the police officers standing at the side, pricked up their ears to listen, he curled his lips coldly.¡±Only the Gu family in A City.¡± An Ping¡¯s face instantly turned pale, and she looked at him in disbelief.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Gu Tianming already¡­¡± ¡°Gu Tianming and Mrs. Gu have already been detained and have their own homes. However, they still have a daughter who has been wandering outside and is still missing.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was as sharp as a knife that cut into An Ping¡¯s heart. She stared blankly at the coldness and indifference in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes and suddenly raised her hand to grab his arm.¡±Hancheng, I gave Anhao all the unfair fate that she has suffered. I know that it was my mistake and it is irreversible. If she is willing, I will use the rest of my life to make it up to her. How rigid was the relationship between the Gu family and her?¡± Would it be dangerous? Zuo Hancheng did not answer her. He merely pursed his lips into a cold line. He also wanted to know what kind of danger Anhao, who was crying in his arms last night, was in. A few hours ago, in the wee hours of the morning, she was still lying in his arms. Although she was extremely sleepy, she still opened her eyes and pointed at the beach set on the computer. She said that she wanted to try out the safety of that set. Would she be in danger now? The Gu family was destroyed, and Gu Shishi, who was wandering outside, would definitely place all the blame on Anhao. How could there be no danger? Half an hour later, D, who had heard the news and rushed to the vicinity of the An family, called. The moment Zuo Hancheng picked up the phone, his dark eyes were like a boundless ocean of darkness. Chapter 852 - Chapter 852: How Will I Take Revenge On You (2) Chapter 852: How Will I Take Revenge On You (2) Anhao¡¯s hands and feet were tied up, and her body was also tightly bound, unable to move. Her mouth was sealed. This familiar feeling made her think that she had not finished her previous nightmare. She immediately closed her eyes and opened them again. She closed her eyes and opened them again, but what she saw was still the scene of herself being trapped in a desolate and old house. She suddenly woke up and lowered her head to see that she was sitting on a very sturdy chair with a back. Her body was tightly tied to it with rings of special materials. There were old furniture around her, and there was no light in the room. However, this was not a dark place. On the contrary, it seemed to be an abandoned place that had not been inhabited for a long time. The windows weren¡¯t locked, and the sky wasn¡¯t dark yet. The room wasn¡¯t dark, but Anhao was shocked by the soreness in the back of her neck and the dizziness in her head. Who was it? Didn¡¯t Mr. Arel already take care of those people from J? Then who had kidnapped her? Suddenly, the door in front of her opened with a creak. The house did look very old. The sound coming from the sturdy door was more like a scratch on Anhao¡¯s heart. She frowned subconsciously and narrowed her eyes at the person who walked in. From the figure, it was actually a woman! Anhao narrowed her eyes until the person slowly approached her. Her gaze went from the woman¡¯s leather boots to her slender legs in leather pants to the red tights on top, to her long hair that was like seaweed, and finally to the face that she thought she would never see again in her life. The face that had been a nightmare for her for the past five years. Gu! Poetry! Poetry! The moment she saw that it was Gu Shishi, Anhao struggled to free herself. However, she felt that the thing that was binding her was getting tighter and tighter. Her mouth was sealed, so she could not say anything. She could only see Gu Shishi¡¯s cold smile in front of her and the sharp knife in her hand. Anhao¡¯s heart tightened. In Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes, she seemed to have seen through her intentions. ¡°Gu Anhao¡­¡± Gu Shishi opened her mouth, but her voice was so hoarse that it was completely different from the Gu family¡¯s eldest daughter who was in the art class. Her hoarse voice seemed to have gone through a lot of torture in her throat, and it was more like a hoarseness that would never return to its sweet and pleasant voice in the future. It was very sickly, but it matched Gu Shishi¡¯s outfit very well. It was the kind of¡­It was a very dusty feeling¡­ Anhao did not know if she was lacking the word ¡± prostitute ¡°, but she looked at Gu Shishi¡¯s tight-fitting clothes. There was a heart-shaped design at the chest area, almost exposing half of her voluptuous breasts. At the same time, she was cool and sexy. She was playing with the sharp knife in her hand skillfully. ¡°Bah.¡± Suddenly, she spat on the ground beside Anhao in disgust.¡±¡±You don¡¯t deserve to be surnamed Gu, and your surname isn¡¯t Gu at all! Why call you Gu Anhao? I think I might as well give you a dog name. How about Little Female Dog? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s little female dog? Or a little female dog that was about to be pressed down by a group of men for others to enjoy?¡± As Gu Shishi spoke, she glared at Anhao with a vicious gaze and sneered,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Surprised to see me here? Do you think that you can come to the United States whenever you want with someone like Zuo Hancheng? Do you think that I, the mayor¡¯s daughter who is in trouble, can¡¯t go abroad too?¡± Anhao looked at her calmly, unable to speak. Even though she did not mean it, she could only let Gu Shishi continue talking. While Gu Shishi was scolding her non-stop, Anhao¡¯s eyes quickly searched the room, trying to find her location. Since Gu Shishi said that she was still in the United States, she should not have been unconscious for long after she was knocked out. Judging from how uncomfortable and stiff her body was, it should have only been a few hours. In other words, she was not far from the An family¡¯s location. Seeing Anhao¡¯s vigilant gaze as she looked around, Gu Shishi immediately snorted and laughed.¡±What are you looking at? Trying to escape? Gu Anhao, why didn¡¯t your backer, Zuo Hancheng, protect you this time? Why didn¡¯t he stand up for you again? How could he let you be captured by my men? How could he let you be reduced to the point where you were about to be raped by a group of men and have your face cut with a knife?¡± Before Gu Shishi could finish her sentence, the sharp knife in her hand was suddenly pressed against Anhao¡¯s cheek. Anhao did not dare to move anymore, but she raised her eyes and stared at Gu Shishi. Gu Shishi stood beside her with hatred in her eyes. She only needed to swing the knife in her hand and Anhao¡¯s delicate and fair face would be destroyed. She really wanted to see Anhao¡¯s face exposed. Sensing that Gu Shishi was exerting a little force on her, Anhao felt the cold knife cut down her face. The moment the skin on her face was cut, Anhao frowned. Her heart was beating like thunder, but she could not say a word. Gu Shishi saw the calmness in Anhao¡¯s eyes and the ear stud that she had been wearing. She suddenly retracted the knife in her hand in anger and yanked the shiny ear stud off. Anhao suddenly felt a sharp pain in her ear. The moment her earring was pulled off, blood seemed to flow down the soft flesh under her earlobe to her neck. ¡°My favorite! The pet of the heart! F * ck! Anhao, how could you bring such a good thing! ¡®Is Zuo Hancheng blind? How could he treat a little b * tch like you like a treasure?¡¯ Zuo Hancheng was really blind!¡± The two earrings were pulled off and thrown to the ground. The shiny objects were covered in dust and rolled to the corner of the floor. Anhao endured the pain in her ears and heard footsteps outside. Although she did not know what kind of danger she was in, she wanted to know what Gu Shishi was doing. How could Gu Shishi have the ability to get someone to sneak into the An family and knock her out? Who exactly did she provoke? Gu Shishi seemed to have understood Anhao¡¯s gaze. Suddenly, her hand gently caressed Anhao¡¯s head until she grabbed her hair bit by bit. Suddenly, she yanked her hair up forcefully. Seeing her face turn pale from the pain on her scalp, Gu Shishi lowered her head and whispered into her ear like a demon possessed by a ghost,¡±¡±Are you curious about how I survived outside these past few years?¡± Chapter 853 - Chapter 853: How Will I Take Revenge On You (3) Chapter 853: How Will I Take Revenge On You (3) ¡°Ha¡­¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s voice was still close to Anhao¡¯s ear. Her voice was filled with hatred, unwillingness, and bloodlust.¡±Anhao, even if you die a thousand or ten thousand times, it won¡¯t be enough to make up for my hatred for you, the hatred the Gu family has for you, my parents ¡®freedom, and everything I have!¡± All of a sudden, Anhao felt a sharp pain on her chin. Gu Shishi pinched her chin hard and turned her head around. She glared at her fiercely.¡±Look at me! Look at me! Good! Look carefully! I, Gu Shishi, am alive!¡± ¡°Even if Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t plan to let my parents send me out of the country safely, even if his men secretly revealed my whereabouts to my father¡¯s enemies, even if I was taken away by my father¡¯s enemies and those gangsters, even if they inflicted countless injuries on me!¡± ¡°But I still survived! Not only did I survive! I¡¯m still their master¡¯s woman. Those disgusting bastards who once inflicted pain on me are now kneeling at my feet!¡± ¡°Anhao! Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re capable just because you have Zuo Hancheng as your backer! If you have the ability, let him come here to find you!¡±Gu Shishi¡¯s hand brushed across Anhao¡¯s face coldly. When her hand left Anhao¡¯s face, she suddenly sneered and looked at the thing under Anhao¡¯s chair.¡±As long as he dares to come and save you, I¡¯ll blow you up! Seeing that we were considered sisters in name back then, I¡¯ll grant you both your wish and let you, Zuo Hancheng, and Mrs. Zuo, live happily ever after in hell. How about that?¡± Anhao used all her strength to push her face away from Gu Shishi¡¯s hand. Her clear eyes were filled with accusation and disbelief as she looked at her. Her breathing was rapid because of her emotions. At the same time, she lowered her head and tried to look down. Sure enough, she saw a strange thing under the chair she was sitting on. There were also wires connected to the ground. Was there a remote-controlled explosive? Was Gu Shishi going to kill him, or was she going to wait for Zuo Hancheng to come and blow them up? Gu Anhao had been trying her best to suppress her emotions when she heard Gu Shishi¡¯s words about waiting for Zuo Hancheng to come over. She struggled on the chair, ignoring the increasingly tight rope around her body. Gu Shishi, however, watched her futile struggle coldly and laughed at her helplessness. ¡°You don¡¯t want to die with Zuo Hancheng? Alright, if he has the ability to save you, I¡¯ll let him see you get raped by a group of men with his own eyes. How about that? As long as he can calmly watch you being trampled by a group of men, I¡¯ll let one of you go!¡± ¡°Wu wu!¡± Anhao glared at her fiercely. She dared! How did Gu Shishi become like this? In the past, even if Gu Shishi went against her in every way, she would only bully her because she was the daughter of the Gu family and had the support of her parents. Whether it was releasing the dead snake, being framed, or being drugged, it was just a little girl¡¯s prank compared to now. At the very least, Gu Shishi was still a canary in a golden cage protected by Mrs. Gu. No matter how vicious and sinister she was, she would not have the guts to treat human life as a child¡¯s play. What had she experienced in the past three years? ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s red eyes, Gu Shishi smiled sinisterly and pinched her face again. The strength of her fingers seemed to want to crush her cheeks and chin. Her eyes were filled with hatred like a poisonous snake. ¡°Anhao, you¡¯re really lucky to have met a man like Zuo Hancheng who is good at both the underworld and the underworld! Back then, my father had underestimated the power behind Zuo Hancheng, and that was why he fell into his trap. That was why our Gu family was destroyed!¡± ¡± I really regret not bringing you to the dance floor after you drugged me. Perhaps I only needed to take one more step and you would have been destroyed by the people there! How could he possibly meet someone like Zuo Hancheng? Rather than saying that Zuo Hancheng changed your fate, it would be better to say that I changed your fate! I¡¯m your benefactor! But how did you treat your benefactor!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s voice was laced with hatred, gritted teeth, and the pleasure of finally getting her revenge. Anhao¡¯s face and chin were already numb from the pain, and her mouth was gagged. She could not say a word. Slowly, the hatred in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes turned bloodshot. She placed her hand on Anhao¡¯s shoulder, her long and sharp nails digging deep into her skin. She stared at her and said,¡±¡±After all, I used to be the apple of everyone¡¯s eye in the Gu family. However, after the Gu family was destroyed, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s men told my father¡¯s enemies about my whereabouts! Anhao, you and Zuo Chancheng are really ruthless. Our Gu family tortured you for five years, and you want to torture our entire family for the rest of our lives! Do you know what I went through after I was taken away by those people?!¡± ¡°Those are my dad¡¯s enemies. Those men captured me, tied me up, abused me, and raped me one after another!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes reddened as she spoke, and the hatred in her eyes deepened. She pinched Anhao¡¯s shoulders and said with tears in her eyes,¡±¡±You know what? How I wished that the person lying on the ground was you and not me!¡± ¡± I don¡¯t remember the first year that I was captured by them. I only remember that there were at least three or four different men on me every day. I only know that I was pregnant with someone¡¯s child, but they tortured me until I miscarried. Even when I was still bleeding, they wouldn¡¯t let me go. My life was worse than a dog in their eyes. They wouldn¡¯t even blink even if I was tortured to death!¡± Anhao felt her hair stand on end. She wanted to say something, but Gu Shishi still looked at her coldly and did not give her a chance to speak. She only smiled and said,¡±I don¡¯t want to hear you speak, and I don¡¯t want to hear your insults or hypocritical consolations for the sake of being spared. Besides, I don¡¯t need comforting now!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s fingernails had already dug into Gu Anhao¡¯s shoulder, and blood flowed down her fingertips. Gu Anhao endured the pain, but she did not care about the injury on her shoulder. She only looked at Gu Shishi¡¯s seductive and cold face, this familiar yet unfamiliar face. ¡°In those years, Gu Anhao, you hated our family the most.¡±Gu Shishi¡¯s cold voice echoed in her ears.¡±¡±Now, our family really hates you! You hate us for abusing and bullying you. You hate us for never treating you as a human. You hate us so much that we caused the Gu family to be completely destroyed! But now, I hate you too! How do you think I will take revenge on you?¡± Chapter 854 - Chapter 854: How Will I Take Revenge On You (4) Chapter 854: How Will I Take Revenge On You (4) ¡°Those men have all touched me before. They pressed on me like dogs! I was raped by them! I was treated like a slave by them, serving them food and drinks, bathing with them and washing their feet! I was even drugged and flirted in front of those men like a madman! Tell me, I¡¯ve been through all this, but I still survived. What did I rely on to survive?¡± The more Anhao listened, the colder her heart felt. When she went to see Gu Tianming in City A, she thought that Gu Shishi was living a carefree life overseas. She did not expect such an encounter. ¡°I¡¯m relying on my hatred. I hate you and Zuo Hancheng. I¡¯m going to kill you all. I¡¯ll only be satisfied after I kill you all with my own hands!¡±Gu Shishi¡¯s voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth. Her hands grabbed Anhao¡¯s shoulders fiercely, wishing she could swallow her alive. ¡°They brought me overseas. In the past two years, I¡¯ve been to many countries around the world. I even went to Africa. I finally had the chance to meet their boss! I tried my best to seduce him. I tried my best to make him fall in love with me. In the end, I finally succeeded in becoming his woman and made him treat me with all his heart!¡± ¡°Those men who used to abuse me are not even worthy of carrying my shoes now. When they see me, they tremble in fear and dare not mention the past again. Anhao, I¡¯ve finally waited for this day¡­I got rid of that pain. For the past two years, I¡¯ve been planning to capture you and torture you. I want you to experience all the pain I¡¯ve experienced! I succeeded!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that after following you for so long, I would discover a big secret. Zuo Hancheng actually has such an identity! No wonder he never took the Gu family and the Qi family seriously!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent and hatred.¡±¡±He protected you too well. We failed time and time again. Finally, finally, today, we secretly broke through the An family¡¯s old residence! It¡¯s also because the heavens have eyes that you actually ran to the most desolate place in the An family! Even the heavens are helping me! God knows that I don¡¯t want to live. If I don¡¯t kill you and Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯ll have to drink water every day like I¡¯m swallowing a yellow lotus. If I don¡¯t kill you, I¡¯ll feel like I¡¯m living in an atmosphere of bloodlust and hatred every day. Anhao, I want you and Zuo Hancheng to die in my hands and in front of me. I want you to never be reincarnated!¡± Gu Shishi shouted as she suddenly strangled Anhao¡¯s neck with her blood-stained hands. She exerted so much force that Anhao could not breathe. She felt the suffocating pain that was about to consume her. Anhao widened her eyes and looked at the hatred in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes. Even though her hatred for the Gu family was indeed very strong, after Gu Tianming and Mrs. Gu were executed, she did not think about Gu Shishi¡¯s matter at all. Even if she had never been able to let go of the things she had done to Gu Shishi, she had never thought of letting her experience these disasters that were worse than death. Looking at the hatred in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes, the feeling of impending death made Anhao calm down. It was useless to worry about Zuo Hancheng taking the risk now. She just glared at Gu Shishi. Just as she was about to be strangled, Anhao suddenly closed her eyes and smiled coldly. The hatred in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes intensified when she saw Anhao smiling. However, she was able to wake up from the feeling of wanting Anhao to die immediately. No, Zuo Hancheng had not arrived yet. He could not let her die so quickly! Gu Shishi suddenly released her neck, which was already red and bruised from the strangulation. Anhao coughed with all her might, but she felt as if there was a bloody taste in her throat. If Gu Shishi had not let go in time, her throat would have been snapped! Anhao endured the discomfort in her throat and looked up at Gu Shishi. Gu Shishi seemed to be trying her best to calm her anger as she kept muttering like a lunatic possessed by a ghost,¡±¡±No¡­You can¡¯t die yet. It¡¯s meaningless to die so quickly¡­I have to wait for Zuo Hancheng to come¡­I¡¯ll blow you up¡­ I¡¯m going to make sure you don¡¯t even have a corpse left¡­ I want to blow you up and make you suffer with me for eternity!¡± Seeing her like this, Anhao¡¯s eyes gradually showed a mixture of hatred and pity. She moved her body forcefully and her chin twitched. Gu Shishi could tell that Anhao wanted to speak. She stared at her for a long time before she suddenly stepped forward and tore off the seal on her mouth. The burning pain in her mouth made Anhao feel that America was not her place. She endured the pain and looked up at Gu Shishi with hatred in her eyes.¡±In your heart, is it because of me that the Gu family was destroyed?¡± Gu Shishi looked at her coldly. You still dare to be stubborn when you¡¯re about to die. I thought you would say something if I asked you to!¡± Anhao¡¯s face was pale as she chuckled. You¡¯re already twenty-five this year, but you¡¯re really naive! I¡¯m afraid you still don¡¯t know the reason why I was sent to the Gu family! Even if I¡¯m not Gu Tianming¡¯s daughter, Gu Tianming raped my mother back then! If it wasn¡¯t for his guilty conscience in this aspect and his uncertainty about whether or not he had accidentally left a seed behind, why would he really let me stay in the beginning because he was uncertain?¡± The astonishment in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes only flashed for a moment before she narrowed her eyes coldly.¡±So what? Not to mention that slut Anping, even you, Anhao, will also be raped! If Zuo Hancheng doesn¡¯t show up before nightfall, I¡¯ll let you experience everything that I¡¯ve experienced! The feeling of being pressed down by a group of men!¡± Before dark? Anhao was shocked and couldn¡¯t help but look out the window. It should be afternoon by now, and they were not far from the An family¡¯s location. If Zuo Hancheng could find her, he would be able to rush over before it was dark. But the explosives under her chair¡­ Anhao¡¯s heart tightened as she turned to look at Gu Shishi with a calm expression. ¡°Gu Tianming is a politician and the mayor of a city. Did Zuo Hancheng and I force him to take bribes and commit illegal acts in secret? Your mother is the same. Her family is also involved in politics and even military affairs. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that your parents had something on you, how could Zuo Hancheng have destroyed the Gu family with just a casual push?¡± Anhao¡¯s words were as sharp as knives. My hatred for the Gu family is only because Zuo Hancheng used the Gu family¡¯s weakness to deal a fatal blow to your parents. It¡¯s your own fault. Otherwise, how could a dignified mayor who is protected by Chinese law and even lives under the rule of equality be in such a miserable state? Why are you blaming your own death on us?!¡± Chapter 855 - Chapter 855: Life and Death Rescue (1) Chapter 855: Life and Death Rescue (1) ¡°You said that you lived until now because you hated me. It¡¯s better to say that you would rather ruin your innocence than die! After hearing what you¡¯ve said, if I really did deliberately hurt the Gu family, I might still feel guilty! But Gu Shishi, other than being surprised, I don¡¯t feel guilty at all!¡± ¡°Do you know why?¡± Anhao coldly looked at the murderous intent in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes and said fearlessly,¡±¡±Your parents were executed! That was a punishment by the law! That was what he should do! And not destroyed by us! And you were raped and tortured by Gu Tianming¡¯s enemies! None of those people are against me and Zuo Hancheng! I think your hatred should be placed on your father. Now, you¡¯re telling me about your encounter and your hatred like a crazy woman. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous?!¡± Gu Shishi only looked at her coldly without saying anything or refuting her. Obviously, she knew all this, but she just wanted to place all her hatred on Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. ¡°That¡¯s right. You only added fuel to the fire, but that man named Zuo Hancheng is too powerful. His methods of adding fuel to the fire are all on the edge of the blade. If it weren¡¯t for you and Zuo Cheng, our Gu family wouldn¡¯t have had these problems until now, and our family would still be able to live happily together! Gu Anhao, you¡¯re enjoying the good fortune of being by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side now. Even your words are becoming more and more manly, and your attitude is becoming more and more like Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. Anhao, you¡¯ve already become Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shadow. You¡¯ve been completely changed by him! You like this makes me want to cut off your flesh inch by inch, pull out your tendons, and drink your blood!¡± Seeing Gu Shishi¡¯s bloodthirsty face, Anhao only frowned secretly, but her eyes gradually turned to look at the setting sun outside the window. ***** After Anhao¡¯s kidnapping incident, the two beloved earrings on Anhao¡¯s ears had been implanted with tiny tracking devices that were almost invisible to the naked eye. As long as the tracker¡¯s signal didn¡¯t disappear, he could immediately determine Anhao¡¯s location. This was something that Lian Anhao herself did not know. However, the micro-tracker disappeared when it reached a deserted farm 60 kilometers away from the An family. This farm had long been uninhabited because of the old nuclear weapons buried underground. Those weapons were a product that the original creator failed to make for some reason, and their power was not great. The weapons that the United States had tried to use in the secret war against the X gang were not detonated or destroyed, so they were buried underground. There was only one farm there, and there were very few people on the farm until it was completely deserted. The radiation affected the signal. Not to mention cell phones, even the strong signal of the tracker would be interrupted. However, even though it was interrupted, it did not appear anywhere else. After three hours of probing, it was almost evening. A black Maybach was speeding along the outskirts of the city. D drove while looking at Zuo Hancheng, who had been silent all this while. Zuo Hancheng sat in the passenger seat. Beside him was a laptop with a lit screen. The faint red dot that had been displayed on the screen had long disappeared. The spot where the red dot had disappeared was the location where the nuclear radiation weapon was buried underground. It was a location where no fire or explosion could occur. If anything happened there, the outskirts of New York City would be affected by the fire. If the weapons buried underground for many years exploded, even if New York City would not be affected, the ground would definitely feel the shaking of at least a magnitude 5 earthquake. This place was considered a restricted area for the mafia members, so they could not cause any fire, so they had never approached it. Anhao¡¯s signal disappeared at that position. D turned to look at Zuo Hancheng as he drove. He saw that Zuo Hancheng had been staring at the position on the screen for a long time. Although D didn¡¯t know what he was thinking, he knew that by bringing Mrs. Zuo there, the other party basically had the intention of dying together so that no one could escape. However, before she rushed in that direction, Anhao¡¯s phone in the An family¡¯s guest room showed a text message from a hidden number on the Internet. The content of the message was,¡±If you don¡¯t want Gu Anhao to die a good death, Zuo Hancheng must come alone. If he dares to bring any extra people into our range, Gu Anhao will be blown to pieces in advance and die without a complete corpse.¡± It was a very simple text message, and it was obvious that the sender was a woman. She did not specify the location or time, and her logic was a little messy, but her words were bloodthirsty. It was obvious that with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ability, he would find them very soon. He did not need their guidance or advice at all. This was enough to confirm Zuo Hancheng¡¯s initial guess that the other party was most likely Gu Shishi, who had suffered misfortune in the past three years. She was once an existence that was not worth mentioning in their eyes. D and the others had never thought of that woman in the past three years, let alone deliberately killing her. However, they did not expect that such an existence that they did not care about, a Miss Gu who was once spoiled, would bring her monstrous hatred and want to give them a fatal blow. Since Gu Shishi had chosen to bring Anhao to this place, it was obvious that there must be someone helping her from behind. Moreover, it must be someone who knew the terrain of New York and the taboo maps of the underworld. This was definitely an outcome that even D did not expect. Back then, the revenge against the Gu family was merely to provide some clues to the higher-ups through some channels, which led to the investigation of the Gu family and the double punishment of Gu Tianming. Zuo Hancheng did not stop Gu Tianming from sending Gu Shishi out before the accident. However, D knew that a few people around him had used some means to tell some people in the underworld about Gu Shishi¡¯s whereabouts. He did not expect that it would end up like this. None of them knew what Gu Shishi had been through in the past few years. They only knew that the woman must not have had it easy. Perhaps she had already died somewhere. He didn¡¯t expect that Anhao would suddenly be kidnapped in such a way, and even choose such a place that didn¡¯t care about her life! D was driving with an angry expression on his face. In contrast, Zuo Hancheng, who was almost at the center of the storm, was strangely calm. ¡°Mister Zuo.¡± D finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. As he drove in the direction of the farm, he said,¡±I was the one who caused Gu Shishi¡¯s incident back then¡­¡± Suddenly, the laptop was closed. It was not loud, but D could clearly feel the coldness emanating from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body. He paused immediately. Chapter 856 - Chapter 856: Life and Death Rescue (2) Chapter 856: Life and Death Rescue (2) ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything. I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm as he looked in the direction of the farm that was getting closer and closer.¡±¡±No matter what happens today, as long as you see Anhao escape, take her away first and bring her out of that dangerous area. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± ¡°Mister Zuo!¡± ¡°My order will only be given once! Save Anhao first!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else. He only looked ahead with a cold gaze. His eyes were deep and unfathomable. The veins on D¡¯s forehead bulged and his eyes turned red, but he could not say a word. Suddenly, a phone rang with the sound of a text message. They could tell that it was Anhao¡¯s phone. In the few hours after Anhao went missing, her phone was with Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng took out his phone and saw that there were a few text messages sent in succession. Although they were not signed, he could tell who the other party was from the words. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, I know that you are about to enter our territory. Think about it carefully. Anhao is just an ordinary woman. If you want a woman who is prettier and better than her, with your ability, I¡¯m afraid that there will be countless of such women who will ppounce on your bed wherever you stand. Why should you sacrifice your life for such an ordinary woman?¡±¡± ¡± You have no idea how selfish Anhao is. A large part of the reason why you two met at the bar was because of me. Otherwise, how could a small character like her have the ability to enter the Night Banquet Bar for a drink? How could she have bumped into you, Zuo Hancheng? In fact, she doesn¡¯t have much fate with you. Everything is just a coincidence. The two of you are never suitable for each other.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been deceived by Anhao for so long. Could it be that you¡¯ve always been able to tolerate her various flaws? She was not even feminine in the past. You spent so much effort to make her look like this, but in the end, she is still the same. She is not worth a man¡¯s life. So, Zuo Hancheng, why did you really come to save her?¡± ¡°There¡¯s an old saying in China that goes,¡¯A man¡¯s three greatest joys are to be promoted and get rich, but his wife dies.¡¯ If Anhao dies here today, you can marry another woman. No matter if it¡¯s Rongxue or any other beautiful woman that was on the news back then, you can immediately take her home. Why do you have to treat Anhao like a useless treasure? Just let her die here alone.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, let me give you a piece of advice. Instead of coming here to court death, you might as well live well. You¡¯re courting death for such a woman. I think you¡¯ve really been bewitched by her!¡± .. Anhao had been sitting on the chair the whole time. She could not see where Gu Shishi had gone, and she would not have thought that Gu Shishi had run to the only place outside the farm where there was barely any signal and was constantly sending messages to Zuo Hancheng. It would be great if the two of them could die together, but if she could see the disappointment and despair in Anhao¡¯s eyes after she was abandoned by Zuo Hancheng, and let Anhao see how bad she was that Zuo Hancheng had abandoned her in the end, it would be even better! However, there was no response after sending countless messages. However, there was a read status at the end of each message. Zuo Hancheng had seen her text message! Gu Shishi looked at the messages that she had read and a cold smile appeared on her red lips. ¡°Think carefully. Being alive is more important than anything else. That Anhao is not worth it.¡± She added another message, and the status on the other end of the message changed to read. It was obvious that Zuo Hancheng had been holding his phone the whole time, and he would read the message immediately after it was sent. She looked at it so quickly. It seemed like she had hit the nail on the head. Gu Shishi turned around in a good mood and looked at the small room where Anhao was locked up. Even if she had to die together with Anhao here, she must first make Anhao suffer an unforgettable pain! Anhao was locked inside and did not know what had happened. Although the seal on her mouth had been torn, the people who came and went outside were all Gu Shishi¡¯s subordinates. No one could help her, and she did not have any communication equipment on her. While Gu Shishi was out, she had thought of all ways to get herself out of this dangerous chair. Suddenly, the door was kicked open and Gu Shishi walked in with interest. When she walked in, she was holding a phone. Unfortunately, the phone lost its signal when it reached here. ¡°The sky is almost dark¡­¡± Gu Shishi said as she glanced at the sky outside the door.¡± I think that Zuo Hancheng probably has no intention of coming to save you. He must be very clear about the location where we are now. The weapons buried here are from the United States military over 20 years ago. They have very strong nuclear radiation. Other than that, we can¡¯t see any fire here. If any fire-related dangerous actions occur, there is a possibility of a large-scale explosion.¡±¡± At this point, Gu Shishi sneered at the surprise in Anhao¡¯s eyes.¡±¡±I think¡­He might not come to save you. After all, he knew that if he came here, he would definitely die. Why would he come? I¡¯ve obviously overestimated your position in his heart. Anhao, I think you should wait for my men to let you have a good night and then die alone tomorrow morning. That coward Zuo Hancheng probably won¡¯t come.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She actually hoped that what she said would come true. She hoped that Zuo Hancheng would not come here rashly because of the danger. After coming to the United States, she had gone through so many ups and downs. She would rather have something happen to herself than let Zuo Hancheng suffer any more harm! She would rather D and the others think of a way to stop Zuo Hancheng than let him not come! Just as Gu Shishi was about to go out and find a few men to let Anhao ¡®enjoy¡¯ herself, she heard a loud crash not far away before she opened the door. The sound rumbled, more like an angry signal, breaking the calm on the surface of the farm. Hearing the voice, Anhao looked up abruptly. Gu Shishi also looked up abruptly in the direction of the voice. Her eyes instantly turned dark and her nails dug deep into her palms. The tall iron gate outside the main gate of the farm had long been heavily sealed. Just when everyone thought that it would be dark before there would be any movement, they were suddenly shocked by the sound of a heavy blow. In the end, when he rushed over, he saw a black Maybach slamming into the door with extreme strength and speed. He mercilessly bent the huge iron bar on the iron door until the iron door was forcefully knocked open by the modified Maybach. At that moment, everyone present quickly pulled out their guns and pointed them at the person in the car. Chapter 857 - Chapter 857: Life and Death Rescue (3) Chapter 857: Life and Death Rescue (3) With the sound of the door being slammed open, the black Maybach sped in, almost ignoring the obstacles in front of it. Those people who raised their guns simply fired, but the bullets were useless when they hit the car. The car¡¯s bulletproof function was too good! It was not until D, who was in the car, saw a figure walking out of a small house not far away. The moment he saw Gu Shishi, he said,¡±¡±Mister Zuo, over there!¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s sharp gaze was cold as he looked at Gu Shishi, who was standing outside the house. Compared to the assassins outside, she was extremely calm. The car that was about to drive past suddenly stopped. Gu Shishi must have been well-prepared for him to be so calm. If they continued to barge in like this, Anhao would definitely be the first to suffer. ¡°Stop the car.¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly. D suddenly stopped the car in front of the small house. Anhao saw their car through the window and saw two tall figures getting out of the car. The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng, Anhao¡¯s eyes turned red. Although she could see everything outside from the room she was in, the light in the room was dim. After Zuo Hancheng and D got out of the car, they could only guess that Anhao was inside, but they could not see her situation clearly. However, through the window, Zuo Hancheng could clearly feel the gaze coming from inside. It was fixed on him, as if it contained a thousand words of longing and worry. D stood beside Zuo Hancheng and looked at Gu Shishi, who was standing outside the house and laughing coldly, with a calm and sharp gaze.¡±¡±You¡¯re really bold. Hand her over!¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, didn¡¯t I ask you to come alone?¡± Gu Shishi raised her eyebrows and sneered. Why did you bring a dog here?¡± D suddenly looked at her with a cold expression. Gu Shishi, on the other hand, looked at them coldly with a fearless expression. ¡°Don¡¯t think that you can do anything just because the two of you drove in. Believe it or not, if you dare to take any more action, I can instantly turn this place into a sea of fire!¡± ¡°Anyway, since I chose this place, I have no intention of leaving alive. Are you guys planning to die with me? Zuo Hancheng, I think you must have been blind to fall for that b * tch Anhao. Why don¡¯t we die here together? When we get down there, I¡¯ll just be a couple with you. I¡¯m a thousand times better than her!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng ignored her words and walked toward the house in front of him nonchalantly. Gu Shishi stood in front of the door and faced him directly. At the same time, she stared at him the moment Zuo Hancheng approached. Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred as she felt the indescribable charm of this man. It was a charm that could make the hormones in a woman¡¯s body roar. It was even a clean and nostalgic smell that she had never smelled before. He hated himself for accidentally sending Anhao into the arms of such a man! This was the stupidest thing she had ever done in her life! ¡°Zuo Hancheng, you have to think carefully. If you walk into this house, you won¡¯t be able to leave.¡±Gu Shishi resisted the urge to touch this perfect man¡¯s face. Really¡­ He was much better looking than the stinky men she had met in the past few years¡­ But he was Anhao¡¯s man, and he came here with the goal of saving Anhao. Just because of this reason alone, the hatred in Gu Shishi¡¯s heart could cover up everything, even if the man in front of her was really not bad¡­ Zuo Hancheng looked at her and suddenly turned to look at D, who was about to follow him in.¡±¡±D, wait for me outside.¡± ¡°Mister Zuo!¡± D looked at him with a worried expression.¡±¡±You¡­¡± However, when Zuo Hancheng¡¯s icy gaze swept across his face, D immediately resisted the urge to follow him in. He clenched his fists and took a step back. His voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.¡±Yes¡­¡± ¡°No matter what happens inside, your people are not allowed to enter. Otherwise, I will blow Anhao up immediately!¡±Gu Shishi said again. ¡°You!¡± D looked up angrily. Zuo Hancheng turned his back to D and said coldly,¡±¡±No matter what happens inside, don¡¯t go in.¡± D stood there silently and frowned. If this was not the location where the nuclear weapons were buried, their chances of winning would be higher. However, this was their forbidden area. Once they stepped into this place, there were too many unknowns waiting for them. Moreover, this Gu Shishi was obviously thinking of taking him down with her. If it were not for D¡¯s insistence, Zuo Hancheng would not have allowed him to enter this place with him. As for Gu Shishi¡­ D looked at her, but saw that the woman¡¯s eyes were full of confidence. It was no joke that she would choose such a place. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng had actually agreed, Gu Shishi still made way for him despite her guarded eyes. When he walked in, she leaned close to him and sneered,¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng, you came faster than I expected. But why are you so blind? Why do you have to risk your life for Anhao, a b * tch whose background is unknown?¡± However, Zuo Hancheng did not treat Gu Shishi as a woman at all. He treated her like a stone and did not respond. Instead, he walked in without batting an eyelid. The moment she saw Zuo Hancheng enter the room, Anhao¡¯s eyes had already turned red in the room, which was getting darker and darker due to the evening. She looked at the man who had walked in and felt that he was very calm when he walked in. He did not carry any oppressive storm or anger. Anhao had been suppressing her emotions inside and didn¡¯t shout out loud. Because he had already come here. If she shouted for him not to come in, it would be equivalent to nonsense. How could he not come in? She even thought that as long as she kept quiet, he would suspect that there was a conspiracy here and would not rashly enter. He¡¯s still coming to the office. The moment Zuo Hancheng entered the room, he saw Anhao tied to the chair. He quickly scanned the room and saw the explosives tied to her chair. Once that type of explosive exploded under her body, no one within a few dozen meters would survive. At the location of this farm, once the explosive exploded, it would destroy more than a few dozen meters¡­ Before Zuo Hancheng entered the house, he had already quickly observed the surrounding environment. There was no way to escape successfully. If he wanted to save Anhao, unless Gu Shishi took the initiative to let her go, any reckless or even forceful behavior would cause Gu Shishi¡¯s men to detonate the area from afar. The wires connected to the explosives under the seat were fixed. It could be seen that the control point of the explosives was not here. If Gu Shishi were to be the first victim here, everyone here would be doomed as well. Chapter 858 - Chapter 858: Life and Death Rescue (4) Chapter 858: Life and Death Rescue (4) Zuo Hancheng had just taken three steps toward Anhao when Gu Shishi suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back the moment she closed the door. Seeing this scene, Anhao instantly stared at Gu Shishi¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Be careful!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng ignored Gu Shishi¡¯s actions behind him and looked at Anhao, who was tied to the chair.¡±¡±Are we still going to shoot the beach set?¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes trembled as she looked at Zuo Hancheng. Her nose was filled with tears. She could only look at the man who could still ask her about the wedding photo under the gun. Her good-for-nothing tears kept falling. She nodded vigorously, her eyes extremely firm.¡±Of course! Zuo Hancheng, we haven¡¯t taken our wedding photos yet, and we haven¡¯t even held our wedding! We have to do it all, one by one!¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled gently, as if this was not an unknown danger at all, but the guest room of the An family last night. ¡°The two of you, stop saying such sweet nothings in front of me. You¡¯re already on the verge of death, so stop disgusting me!¡± Gu Shishi¡¯s sinister voice rang out from behind Zuo Hancheng. The gun in her hand was aimed directly at the fatal spot on his back.¡±Zuo Hancheng, you single-handedly manipulated the drama that caused my father to fall from power and single-handedly destroyed the Gu family. Today, I will settle this with you!¡± Zuo Hancheng seemed to be displeased by Gu Shishi¡¯s interruption. He glanced at her coldly. Gu Shishi sneered.¡± I also want you and Anhao to never be able to be together again!¡± Even if they were underground lovebirds, don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Hearing Gu Shishi¡¯s words, Anhao suddenly looked at her, not knowing what she meant by her sudden change of tone in front of Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Since you¡¯re thinking of ways to get me here, of course you have other plans. Tell me directly, what do you want to do?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was devoid of warmth. Gu Shishi laughed mockingly.¡± You are indeed Zuo Hancheng. I thought you would give up after reading my messages. I didn¡¯t expect you to come anyway. Since that¡¯s the case, isn¡¯t your purpose here to save that b * tch?¡±¡± Gu Shishi raised her eyebrows.¡± I had planned to let her feel the feeling of being abandoned by you before she died. But now that you¡¯re here, Zuo Hancheng, you didn¡¯t kill me and let me go. Although your men leaked the news, you let me go once.¡±¡± ¡°Seeing this, I, Gu Shishi, can return the favor. Only one of you can live. One accompany me to die here, another can roll out from here, later painful lonely life!¡± ¡°I really want to see one of you cry out in pain¡­¡± ¡°Gu Shishi, you¡¯re indulging in wishful thinking¡­¡± Anhao was furious. ¡°Alright.¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice interrupted her. His voice was extremely calm, as if he had already guessed the other party¡¯s intentions before he came. Anhao¡¯s gaze instantly turned to Zuo Hancheng, but she saw that he was still extremely calm. He was not surprised or angry. ¡°Zuo Hancheng, are you crazy? Even I don¡¯t believe Gu Shishi¡¯s words, so how can you?¡±Anhao looked at him anxiously, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could he say yes? How could he agree? Zuo Hancheng did not look at Anhao, who had been suppressing her calmness because of his ¡± okay ¡°. Instead, he looked back at Gu Shishi, who was pointing a gun at him. ¡°I accept. I¡¯ll stay and let Anhao go.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­!¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear Gu Anhao¡¯s voice. He continued to look at the jealousy in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes.¡±It seems that you haven¡¯t been doing well or badly in recent years. It¡¯s obvious that you¡¯ve mixed into the field related to the Black Hand Gang. In that case, you should know that people in this underworld value faith. Even in the face of death, he could not regret what he had said.¡± Gu Shishi looked at the look in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, which was filled with the desire to die, and the jealousy and hatred she felt for Anhao deepened. Why did her family get destroyed and her family lost everything? Why did this little b * tch get everything? ¡°I only promised not to kill one of you, but once this bomb is detonated, I¡¯m afraid that even if I didn¡¯t kill her, she wouldn¡¯t be able to live.¡±Gu Shishi took a deep breath and looked at him coldly. Then, she smiled strangely.¡± How about this? Zuo Hancheng, why don¡¯t we discuss another condition?¡± ¡°What conditions?¡± Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was serious and had accepted Gu Shishi¡¯s threat, she was shocked., Anhao could tell that if the situation was not too dangerous, he would never tolerate Gu Shishi¡¯s desperate threats. Was this place very dangerous? Why did Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes look so solemn ever since he walked in? Anhao struggled furiously in the seat. The place where she was tied up by the rope had already been strangled and bleeding because of her struggle. However, she continued to twist and turn as if she could not feel it. Her mouth was in vain as she shouted at his figure,¡±You¡¯re not allowed to agree to anything!¡± Gu Shishi ignored the little b * tch who was screaming desperately and sneered.¡±¡±From now on, you and I will be lovey-dovey on the bed next to hers for two hours, and I will give her ten minutes to run for her life. Listen carefully, I want you to love me well and hard on that bed in front of her! You should understand what I¡¯m saying.¡± Zuo Hancheng, who had been cold and indifferent ever since he entered the room, frowned. His expression made Gu Shishi even angrier. She pointed the gun in her hand at his heart.¡±Zuo Hancheng, let me tell you, I will set the rules! Giving her 10 minutes is already considered giving you face because you let me off once. If you don¡¯t cherish it, don¡¯t blame me for killing you!¡± Anhao, on the other hand, gritted her teeth when she heard Gu Shishi¡¯s request, so much so that blood was seeping out of her gums. Zuo Hancheng looked at Gu Shishi coldly.¡±¡±Is this the only choice?¡± Gu Shishi felt that the man¡¯s disdain for her was so obvious that she was so angry that she suddenly stepped forward and pressed the gun against his chest. At the same time, her other hand touched his body with ill intentions. As Zuo Hancheng frowned, she felt the old wound on his shoulder. She raised her eyebrows as if she had discovered something new. She smiled and said,¡±Are you injured on your shoulder?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not answer her question. He looked at her expressionlessly and said,¡±¡±Give me another choice.¡± Gu Shishi snorted. She slowly raised her hand from his shoulder and lightly brushed her fingers across his handsome and perfect face. Her voice was like a cold machine grinding against his skin. ¡± The second choice is that since you¡¯re not willing to give yourself up, you can only risk your life. I¡¯ve always been kind to good-looking men, but you, Zuo Hancheng, are so tactless.¡± Gu Shishi smiled as she spoke. She pressed the muzzle of her gun dangerously against his shoulder.¡± As long as you shoot three times at the wound on your shoulder, I¡¯ll give her ten minutes to escape.¡± Chapter 859 - Chapter 859: He Won’t Die (1) Chapter 859: He Won¡¯t Die (1) ¡± As long as you shoot three times at the wound on your shoulder, I¡¯ll give her ten minutes to escape.¡± As soon as Gu Shishi finished speaking, Anhao stared at Zuo Hancheng and shook her head silently. Although her mouth was no longer stuck to the seal, she could not even speak at this moment. The fact that Zuo Hancheng had stepped into this seemingly dangerous area was enough to show that he had already prepared for the worst. He would not agree to the disgusting condition that made him have sex with Gu Shishi, but he would definitely agree to this request later on. Gu Shishi pressed the gun against the wound on his shoulder and sneered.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, how confident are you to save Anhao with your injuries? Do you think that I, Gu Shishi, have survived so many things in the past three years for nothing?¡± ¡°Do you think my hatred for you and Gu Anhao is a joke? When you walked to this farm, you should have known that you were destined to die today. Since you¡¯re still so stubborn, don¡¯t blame me for being cruel. It¡¯s rare for me to suddenly change the way I play the game. I plan to give her ten minutes to escape. As for whether you want to seize this opportunity or not, that¡¯s your business¡­¡± ¡°Oh, right.¡± Gu Shishi suddenly smiled and said,¡±I guess you already knew the situation here when you walked in. If I was killed before the mission was completed, someone would blow this place up, and you and Anhao would be buried with me. So, no matter how good your skills are, and no matter what your subordinate outside the house does, you have to be careful. If I¡¯m not happy, I¡¯ll let all the living beings in this farm go to hell with me!¡± As she spoke, she forcefully jabbed the muzzle of her gun at the wound on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder. It was as if she was deliberately making him feel pain, but also as if she was unhappy with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s calm attitude. Why didn¡¯t this man feel any anger or fear at all? However, just as Gu Shishi was about to press the gun against his shoulder, Zuo Hancheng suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the gun. His hand was very close to Gu Shishi¡¯s hand, but the distance between them was so good that he did not touch her hand at all. Too obvious disgust. Gu Shishi looked coldly at the coldness in his eyes.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Isn¡¯t my first suggestion more enjoyable for you men? One is the ultimate bliss of the world, and the other is to use your life as a bet. Zuo Hancheng, I, Gu Shishi, am not so ugly that you would reject me with your life!¡± ¡°It is very ugly.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was calm, but he managed to dodge the gun in Gu Shishi¡¯s hand under her furious glare. Under Gu Shishi¡¯s surprised gaze, he said in a flat voice,¡±¡±I agree to the second condition. Let her go.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± Anhao¡¯s red and swollen eyes were filled with pain as she glared at him.¡±No! You haven¡¯t even fully recovered from your injuries! You will die! Are you crazy?¡± Gu Shishi suddenly looked in that direction coldly because of Anhao¡¯s irritating voice.¡±¡±If you have the ability, then come and take these three shots for him. If you don¡¯t have the ability, then shut up!¡± ¡°Good! Zuo Hancheng, I¡¯ll take it! I can do it! If you dare to shoot yourself, I will never forgive you!¡±Anhao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. She had never cried so much in her entire life in front of him in the past two days. The salty tears spread across the corners of her lips, but they were so bitter that her entire lips were almost numb. Gu Shishi looked at her coldly when she heard what she said.¡±¡±If you say another word of nonsense, I¡¯ll blow you up!¡± ¡± It¡¯s all the same. You dared to bring me here and threaten Zuo Hancheng. It¡¯s obvious that this is not a safe place. Even if you give me ten minutes, I might not be able to escape. Since you¡¯re going to die, just blow it up! What right do you have to threaten him!¡± Anhao was so angry that her voice turned hoarse.¡±Zuo Hancheng, don¡¯t let her manipulate you. Gu Shishi is just as despicable as Gu Tianming. What she¡¯s been through in the past few years has made her even more inhumane. She only has hatred, and she won¡¯t let me go.¡± ¡°Of course I won¡¯t let you off. It was only ten minutes because your man let me off. If not for that, Anhao, you would have been blown to pieces by now!¡±Gu Shishi looked at her impatiently.¡±¡±If you have the ability to escape in these ten minutes, count yourself lucky. If you don¡¯t have the ability, I won¡¯t care. Anyway, I promised you in these ten minutes, and I will fulfill it! At least in front of you, I, Gu Shishi, won¡¯t lose my face!¡± Anhao suddenly widened her bloodshot eyes and glared at her.¡±¡±Did you capture me to die together with me? Gu Shishi, you¡¯re really crazy! Your parents are still in prison. They¡¯re not dead! They still hoped that your daughter could live freely outside. Even if you had experienced those unbearable years, at least you survived now. You could have chosen many ways to make up for those experiences and injuries. You could have lived well. Why did you use such an extreme method to force all of us to be destroyed together? You knew that Zuo Hancheng had let you go, so why did you act like a lunatic and force everyone to go crazy with you?¡± ¡°Yes, sir! I¡¯m crazy!¡± Gu Shishi burst out laughing. If it weren¡¯t for my hatred for you, I wouldn¡¯t have lived until now. I¡¯ve finally waited for this day. I¡¯ve finally found such a place where I can make the right choice and force even Zuo Hancheng to listen to my arrangements! It wasn¡¯t easy for me to get such an opportunity! Do you think I¡¯ll let you off just because I heard you yell at me?¡± Gu Shishi stared at Anhao viciously.¡±I want the two of you to live and feel pain. I want you to see Zuo Hancheng get hurt in front of you, or even die in front of you! Cry, scream, beg me!¡± ¡°Gu Shishi!¡± Anhao suddenly shouted,¡±You¡­¡± ¡°Gu Shishi.¡± At the same time, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s cold voice rang out. Although his voice was not as angry as Anhao¡¯s, it was clear and calm, as if it had instantly extinguished the flames that had already ignited in the room. Anhao¡¯s anger was suppressed by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice, but when she saw the gun in his hand, she felt that the man was standing straight and there was no fear or hesitation in his posture. Chapter 860 - Chapter 860: He Won’t Die (2) Chapter 860: He Won¡¯t Die (2) The black shirt on his body perfectly covered his old wounds. She really did not want to see him covered in blood again. But Anhao¡¯s eyes were fixed on the gun in his hand, afraid that he would really do that! ¡°Let her go.¡± This was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s next sentence. His voice was slow and deep. Anhao was tied to a chair, and she could clearly see the coldness and sharpness in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. There was a storm in his eyes, and it was as dark as a dark cloud. Anhao¡¯s voice was already hoarse from the emotional torture of the afternoon. She was also in so much pain that she could barely speak after cursing Gu Shishi. She opened her mouth and looked at him with tears in her eyes. Her voice had changed from threatening and hateful to pleading.¡±Don¡¯t¡­Please¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡­Don¡¯t¡­¡± Gu Shishi looked coldly at the direction of the sound and did not move. ¡°I¡¯ve already agreed to your conditions. Let Anhao go first.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s deep voice rang out again. ¡°I¡¯ll only let her go if you shoot first. If you¡¯re afraid that you¡¯ll die under these three shots¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not so weak that I¡¯ll die after three shots to my shoulder.¡±Zuo Hancheng interrupted her coldly. When Anhao stared at him with her red and swollen eyes in disbelief, his gaze suddenly became extremely gentle. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes had a hint of a smile on them. His cold voice, which was devoid of any warmth when he was talking to Gu Shishi, suddenly became very soft.¡±Anhao, close your eyes.¡± As he spoke, he had already placed the black gun on his shoulder. Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. She shook her head with all her might, her eyes filled with despair.¡±No¡­Zuo Hancheng¡­No!¡± Gu Shishi looked coldly at Anhao¡¯s red eyes, as if she felt happy and relieved seeing her in pain. She suddenly said,¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng, I advise you not to play any tricks with me. We have set up alarms all around this place. If anything happens, this place will be blown up immediately. Don¡¯t joke around with the ten minutes I¡¯ve given you. If you don¡¯t start now, the ten minutes I promised you will be counted down.¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Before Gu Shishi could finish her sentence, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder was bleeding profusely. Anhao¡¯s eyes were almost forced out of their sockets by the blood vessels. She felt as if her heart had been hit by a bullet. She could hardly breathe as she looked at the man¡¯s pale face that was now completely drained of blood. D, who was outside the house, heard the gunshot and frowned. However, he did not dare to go in because he did not hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s order. Mister Zuo would always be his master. No matter what choice he faced today, he had to obey the orders Mister Zuo had given him on the way here. No matter what, save Anhao first! Gu Shishi seemed to be shocked when she heard the gunshot, but she managed to calm herself down in an instant. She looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s pale face and the large amount of blood that was flowing down his shoulder. She narrowed her eyes and said,¡± I really don¡¯t understand what¡¯s so good about this little slut. She¡¯s not worth risking your life for. What era are we in now? It¡¯s not a drama. How many people can really see through life and death? How many people can really be entangled with each other for the rest of their lives?¡± ¡± Bang!¡± There was another sound without hesitation, forcing Gu Shishi to finish her sentence. Anhao sat on the chair, almost suffocating. Her entire body seemed to have gone numb in an instant. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s old wounds had not fully recovered, and just two shots had made him almost lose his balance. The moment the muzzle of the gun slowly left his shoulder, he suddenly staggered and knelt on one knee. However, he did not completely fall down. He only stared in Anhao¡¯s direction. His throat was almost stained with blood until the sweet taste spread from his throat bit by bit. When the red blood flowed down his thin lips, Anhao felt that she could no longer feel anything except for her temples that were constantly throbbing. This was not real. This must be a dream. It must be a dream! Looking at Anhao¡¯s dazed and desperate eyes, which were trying to treat the scene in front of her as a nightmare, Zuo Hancheng smiled with blood in his mouth. He knelt down in front of her and said softly,¡±¡±This is¡­I owe her¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s mind suddenly snapped back to reality. Not only did Gu Shishi not understand, but Anhao also did not understand a single word. It had always been Zuo Hancheng who had protected her behind his back, and he had always protected her with his life. Even now, he was willing to be threatened by Gu Shishi and risk his life for her. How could he say that he owed her?! Anhao¡¯s lips trembled as she looked at the blood flowing from his mouth, the mottled blood stains on his shoulder under his black shirt, and the gun in his hand. Other than shaking her head, she could no longer feel anything. Rather than saying that Gu Shishi was crazy, it was more accurate to say that she was going crazy now¡­ ¡°When did you owe me¡­?¡± After an unknown amount of time, Anhao¡¯s tears, which she had completely forgotten to shed, flowed down again when the third shot exploded on his shoulder. Her red eyes looked at the bloodless man. Seeing the emotions in his eyes that she couldn¡¯t understand at all, she finally remembered to find her own voice. However, she asked very softly, with a trembling and confused tone. This must be a dream¡­ Zuo Hancheng, please, this must be just a dream¡­ Zuo Hancheng smiled with a bloody smile. He did not say anything else. The gun in his hand fell to the ground at the same time. The crisp and dull sound made it seem as if the world was about to fall and shatter at this moment. ¡°Release him.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response was to remind Gu Shishi to come over and let go of Anhao. Gu Shishi was a little reluctant to take the throne, but in the two seconds that she deliberately delayed, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s weak but sharp gaze suddenly swept towards her. That glance made her inexplicably feel that even if everyone died here, she was destined to be hunted down by this man in the future, and she would never have a good life. Gu Shishi gritted her teeth and walked over unwillingly. She handed him the sharp knife that she had tried to use to destroy Anhao¡¯s face.¡±If you have the ability, you can help her untie it yourself! The 10-minute countdown starts now!¡± Anhao suddenly looked up at the despicable and triumphant look in Gu Shishi¡¯s eyes. However, she could not say a word because she was still thinking about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s injuries. The only sound that came out from her throat was choking and filled with pain. One of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms had long been dyed red with blood. The sky was getting dark and the lighting in the room was very poor. Anhao could vaguely see him using the hand that had previously held the gun to raise the sharp knife to cut the things tied on her body. Chapter 861 - Chapter 861: He Won’t Die (3) Chapter 861: He Won¡¯t Die (3) Gu Shishi had already started to check the time. Although Zuo Hancheng was seriously injured, his hand speed was much faster than they had expected. It was as if a second later would be a threat to Anhao¡¯s life. When the shackles on Anhao¡¯s body were released, Anhao¡¯s body was so stiff that her legs went numb the moment she stood up. She knelt on the ground and raised her hand to cover the wound on his shoulder that was bleeding non-stop. ¡°Hurry up and leave!¡± However, Zuo Hancheng avoided her hand and turned his head to stop her from getting closer. He pushed her away with his uninjured hand.¡±Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to be a wizardry boy!¡± Anhao¡¯s voice seemed to have finally escaped from her stifled state. Her eyes were filled with tears as she reached out to tear his clothes apart to check on his injuries. However, Zuo Hancheng blocked her hand with one hand and suddenly shouted to the outside,¡±¡±D! Take Anhao away!¡± As soon as Zuo Hancheng finished speaking, the door was kicked open in less than two seconds. D rushed in and was shocked to see Zuo Hancheng covered in blood. ¡°Bring her out of the danger zone within ten minutes! Don¡¯t ask a single question. Let¡¯s go!¡± Zuo Hancheng cruelly pushed Anhao away from him, who was crying non-stop. Anhao stumbled and fell to the cold ground. She cried as she got up and continued to approach him. D¡¯s face was tense, but he still stepped forward and pulled Anhao away from Zuo Hancheng.¡±Mrs. Zuo! Let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not leaving! I don¡¯t want to go! Let go of me-¡± Anhao cried her heart out as she tried to grab onto anything that she could. Her fingernails and fingers, which had been trimmed clean by him, left several bloody marks on the ground. Her fingers were already worn out on the ground, but D still dragged her away mercilessly. When she reached the door, Anhao grabbed the door frame with all her might.¡±Let me go! I don¡¯t want to go! Zuo Hancheng, you can¡¯t do this! I¡¯m not leaving!¡± ¡°D, only ten minutes¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored Anhao¡¯s heart-wrenching words and looked directly at D. His eyes seemed calm, but the message he revealed almost suffocated D. D frowned and suddenly hugged Anhao tightly.¡±Madam, I¡¯m sorry!¡± At the same time, he carried Anhao, who was struggling with all her might, on his shoulder and rushed to the side of the car at his fastest speed. Seeing that Gu Anhao would really be taken away, Gu Shishi would not let her leave alive, regardless of whether she could escape in ten minutes or not. It was just a game to make them suffer. How could he let her really leave? Gu Shishi suddenly glanced at the gun that Zuo Hancheng had thrown on the ground. She rushed over and bent down to pick up the gun, aiming it at Anhao¡¯s head. However, in an instant, a tight grip suddenly appeared on her wrist. Gu Shishi froze and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who could still stand up at this moment. She looked at her wrist that was suddenly grabbed by him, at the cold murderous intent in his dark eyes, and at his obvious action of stopping her from shooting at Anhao. The force on her wrist was so painful that she almost couldn¡¯t hold two shots, let alone shoot with her fingers. Gu Shishi watched as Anhao was carried to the bulletproof Maybach by D. He opened the door and shoved Anhao into it. His actions were swift and clean. Gu Shishi was worried that she would really let Anhao leave alive just like that because of her momentary playfulness! ¡°Zuo Hancheng, are you really not afraid of death?¡±Gu Shishi¡¯s wrist was almost broken by him as she glared at the man with cold eyes. Zuo Hancheng suddenly smiled lightly. His smile did not reach his eyes, and his voice was cold and indifferent as if he was simply talking about what he had eaten for dinner. ¡°Ha¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s response was a cold chuckle that made one¡¯s heart tremble. At the same time, Gu Shishi felt a sharp pain in her wrist as a terrifying sound came from it. Her wrist¡­She was actually broken by this man who seemed to be seriously injured. ***** In the car- Anhao kicked and struggled with all her might. D knew that time was of the essence, and he also knew that Anhao would rather die here than escape so safely. He suddenly tied her up with a rope in the trunk and locked her in the back seat of the car while Anhao glared at him angrily and struggled. ¡°D! Zuo Hancheng was injured! ¡°He¡¯s your master. You should save him first. You can¡¯t take me away.¡± Anhao shouted. D, on the other hand, was frowning. He suddenly grabbed a few disinfectant towels and stuffed them into Anhao¡¯s mouth, filling it to the brim. When Anhao glared at him angrily, he suppressed the unhappiness and hatred in his heart and quickly turned around to the driver¡¯s seat. He drove the black Maybach out at a terrifying speed. The sound of the car¡¯s roar shocked the people who were raising their guns around. Anhao was filled with hatred! She hated the fact that their car had everything they needed, including things to tie people up. No matter how angry she was, she could not struggle free. The wet towels in her mouth that smelled like alcohol made her already numb mouth and tongue almost unable to move. She tried her best to make a sound, but she could not stop the car from driving out in an arrogant and rapid manner. She didn¡¯t know how fast the car was going, but her mouth was so swollen that she couldn¡¯t spit out anything. Her constant mumbling in D¡¯s ears forced him to step on the accelerator. She didn¡¯t know how much time was left in the ten minutes. Anhao only knew that they had driven the car far away, and she didn¡¯t know how far away this so-called danger zone was. However, they were still running at such a high speed. Anhao¡¯s heart sank as the distance between them increased. She tried her best to move her body away from the seat behind her and lean forward, but it was difficult for her to move forward due to the inertia of the speeding car. She desperately bit the thing in her mouth and moved forward. Her mouth was already numb, but the blood in her mind made her bite the wet tissue in her mouth as if she didn¡¯t want her tongue. The disgusting smell of alcohol and wet tissue and the water she squeezed out made her almost retch. Finally, she spat out the thing in her mouth and shouted at D,¡±D! He couldn¡¯t just leave Zuo Hancheng there! If you don¡¯t want to go back, let me go back. I¡¯ll drive myself! I can-¡± D didn¡¯t expect her to spit out the thing in her mouth. At that time, he was so cruel to stuff so much into her mouth so that she couldn¡¯t move her tongue. Now that he heard Anhao¡¯s voice, he frowned and said while driving,¡±¡±Do you know what¡¯s buried under this area? It¡¯s a weapon that was not used after the war between America and Country X more than 20 years ago. Although it¡¯s a failed weapon, its power is not small. There¡¯s a very strong radiation here, and any fire or explosion is prohibited. Once there¡¯s any fire or explosion, the area within a radius of a few hundred miles will be burned to the ground in an instant¡­¡± Chapter 862 - Chapter 862: He Won’t Die (4) Chapter 862: He Won¡¯t Die (4) Hearing D¡¯s words, Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly became more and more frightened. She suddenly turned around and looked behind her, her heart sinking. Explosion? What if it really exploded¡­ Gu Shishi was really crazy. If there was really a fire here and it exploded, what should they do? Her and D¡¯s car was already the fastest car to escape. If there was really an explosion, no one in the farm would be able to escape. However, the scene of Zuo Hancheng firing three shots into his shoulder in front of her kept popping up in front of her eyes. She was filled with the way he looked at her when he did not want to waste even a second and let D take her away. Her eyes were filled with the words he said when he knelt down in front of her and said that he owed her¡­ Why? Why? If she had not met Zuo Hancheng back then, would she have harmed him to this extent? Zuo Hancheng, you must be safe. You must leave this place alive. You must survive! She would rather be the rebellious Gu Anhao who was abandoned by everyone for the rest of her life than be the shackle that almost killed him time and time again! Anhao¡¯s tears kept rolling down her face and she cried until she was silent. D saw her crying silently in the rearview mirror and frowned fiercely. However, in the next moment, there was a sudden explosion at the place where the car had left him far behind. D¡¯s eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the farm through the rearview mirror. There was thick smoke, and in an instant, there were continuous explosions around him, and flames soared into the sky. Anhao turned her head the moment she heard the sound. She saw the fire that was rapidly chasing in this direction and the forest that was quickly burning by the roadside. She felt that her head was suddenly in so much pain that it felt like it was about to explode. His heartbeat seemed to have stopped at this moment¡­ No matter how good the car¡¯s sealing performance was, the smoke that quickly invaded the surroundings made it difficult for her to breathe. At the same time, she saw the road that was gradually exploding and the window that was suddenly surrounded by flames. ¡°Madam, sit tight!¡± Even though he was surrounded by flames, D still relied on the car¡¯s protective function to quickly rush out of the sea of fire. The surroundings were filled with terrifying heat and thick smoke. Anhao¡¯s heart was instantly numbed by the pain. Even though the car was surrounded by flames, she still looked at the direction behind the car without moving. She looked at the farm from afar through the intense flames. Explosions sounded one after another. Rumble, a black fog seemed to have descended, as if it was endless. It seemed to have spread to the entire suburbs, the mountains in the distance, and even close to New York City¡­ In the midst of the fire and smoke, Anhao felt as if she had been shattered into pieces. With the sound of the first explosion from the farm, she was broken into pieces and could no longer be pieced together. She could only hear Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice in her ears. It was as if someone was whispering into her ear, saying softly,¡±¡±Anhao¡­Anhao¡­¡± The tears seemed to have dried up long ago. D¡¯s driving skills were terrifying. He drove the car out of the sea of fire in a deadly manner. After finally escaping the area where the fire spread, he drove the burning car for about two kilometers before suddenly braking. Before the car activated the automatic explosion function, he got out of the car and directly opened the door to bring Anhao out. Anhao stumbled and knelt on the ground. D¡¯s heart twitched violently and he bent down to pull her up.¡±Madam¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She just looked in the direction where the fire was soaring into the sky. She looked at the sky that was dyed red as the evening and night gradually darkened¡­ ¡°D, he won¡¯t die, will he?¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was a little numb, and her tears had already dried up. Other than the ropes that D had tied her up with, she looked pale and normal. However, she felt empty. D didn¡¯t say anything and just stood beside her. Before the car next to him was about to explode, he pulled Anhao and dragged her 30 meters away until the car exploded. However, compared to the explosions in the distance, the explosion of this car was nothing. Anhao just looked at the sky where the flames were intertwined. She didn¡¯t even know when D had helped her untie the ropes. ¡± Why didn¡¯t you let me stay? Why didn¡¯t you let me go back? Why did you let him stall Gu Shishi? He¡¯s your master, isn¡¯t he¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was hollow and wooden. She stood on the spot, her face pale and her eyes empty. ¡°Before Mister Zuo rushed over, he had already said that no matter what happened, he would save you first. This is an order.¡±D¡¯s voice was very, very faint and very, very light. Anhao suddenly turned to look at him, but D lowered his head respectfully.¡±¡±Madam, I¡¯m Mr. Left¡¯s subordinate. No matter whether his decision is correct or not, no matter whether we question it or not, as long as he clearly tells me that it¡¯s an order, I have to listen!¡± ¡± Madam, if anything happens to you, after Mr. Zuo¡¯s accident, Mr. Arel won¡¯t let us, who used to be Mr. Zuo¡¯s subordinates for many years, off. When he pushed you out, he was also saving us¡­¡± Anhao did not understand. She just felt that Zuo Hancheng was not dead and that it was impossible for him to be dead. She looked at the pain in D¡¯s eyes and said,¡±¡±What Mr. Arel? What does my death have to do with the current state of the world? Only Zuo Hancheng¡¯s life and death has anything to do with me. What else is important?¡± As she spoke, she walked in the direction of the fire. D quickly reached out and pulled her back.¡±Mrs. Zuo!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me! If Zuo Hancheng were to die, how would I be considered Mrs. Zuo? Whose Mrs. Zuo am I?!¡± Anhao¡¯s calm expression suddenly turned into a hoarse voice as she shook off D¡¯s hand and turned around to run in that direction. ¡°Mrs. Zuo!¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo asked me to protect you! This is an order and a reminder. If anything happens to you, I will let Mr. Zuo down! Please live well!¡± ¡°Of course I will live well!¡± Anhao cried and shook him off.¡± Zuo Hancheng is still alive. Of course, I will not leave him alone in this world. I will definitely live well!¡±¡± She cried as she tried to push D away, but D held her down forcefully. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was so hoarse that even her cries sounded like she was using all her strength. Suddenly, sirens and the sound of countless police cars and fire trucks approaching could be heard from afar. In the dark night, there were a few cars slowly approaching. Anhao couldn¡¯t see them clearly, and she didn¡¯t want to see them. She only wanted Zuo Hancheng! He only wanted Zuo Hancheng! Chapter 863 - Chapter 863: With Him, We Have a Home Chapter 863: With Him, We Have a Home Anhao couldn¡¯t remember when she fainted. She only remembered that in front of her eyes was the intertwining flames and the sky that was dyed red. She only remembered the sounds of various fire engines and police cars behind her, and she only knew that someone seemed to be calling her name from behind¡­ After that, her consciousness almost fell into chaos. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang in her ears. ¡°I passed by a quagmire and saw a kitten that fell into the quagmire and was about to be drowned. Should I save it or not?¡± ¡°Kitten was rescued, but her eyes were already covered in mud. She couldn¡¯t see the way forward or the direction. It was rare for me to take a break from my busy schedule, and it was also rare for me to have compassion. I took the kitten home to wash it clean, that was all.¡± ¡°So you still know that you¡¯re a student?¡± ¡°Just how much does he not take his life seriously? He actually scored zero in the college entrance examination simulation!¡± ¡°You still know how to be embarrassed? Do you know that such self-indulgence will only make those people you hate bully you even more?¡± .. ¡°Do you know how it feels to drive from A City to T City for ten hours straight while your injuries have not recovered? Do you know how it feels when I can¡¯t get through to your phone and finally find out that your GPS signal is speeding at 270 km/h or even higher in the remote and desolate suburbs of Eastern Jiujiang?¡± Gu Anhao, you don¡¯t have a heart.¡± ¡°Hancheng said that Gu Anhao will always be the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. Whether it¡¯s in America, China, or anywhere else in the world, you¡¯re the most suitable Mrs. Zuo for him.¡± .. ¡°Gu Anhao, you were the one who was called by Minister Qin to stand behind me at the dinner party. You were the one who stayed opposite me in T City on a business trip. You were the one who needed help at the design exchange meeting.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t miss me at all these three years?¡± .. ¡°Do you know what the main designer said when the jewelry set was officially released? Do you know why there was only one piece of jewelry in every country in the world? Don¡¯t you understand? Do you really not understand?¡± ¡°There are only three thousand weak waters to drink. You are the only one in the world who is beautiful and pampered! They had to travel all over the world to collect a complete set of jewelry. How serious, grand, and representative was this jewelry that had a cross-era significance in the jewelry world! You actually used the word ¡®yourself¡¯ to describe it! Sister Anhao, aren¡¯t you being too ambitious!¡± .. ¡°You¡¯ve already walked into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s life. You¡¯re the one standing in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s heart. Why should you care about who you are? What else do you want me to do to you?¡± ¡°The heart that you¡¯ve painstakingly grown out was dug out by you again?!¡± ¡°Stop crying! Do you want to drown the car?¡± ¡°.. Fine, I bullied you.¡± ¡°.. Okay, it¡¯s not in the car.¡± .. ¡°Gu Anhao, you¡¯re the one who forced yourself into my world. Now you¡¯re asking me what I like about you?¡± ¡°Then you can only blame yourself for being too capable¡­¡± .. ¡°You don¡¯t know how to drive! Don¡¯t do anything rash!¡± ¡°Focus on driving. I guarantee that I won¡¯t die.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re the only one in this world who has the guts to drive a car at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour before you take the driver¡¯s license test.¡± ¡°I thought that after experiencing a life and death situation, you would cherish the opportunity to be with me and not chase me away again and again.¡± ¡°What did you say when you kept crying and shouting in my arms when I was sleeping with a fever that day?¡± ¡°Are you afraid of seeing blood?¡± .. ¡°I still have time to accompany my wife to get married.¡± .. ¡°This is¡­I owe her¡­¡± .. ***** He had a splitting headache. Anhao didn¡¯t know how long she had been unconscious. She only opened her eyes in the heavy memories of yesterday and saw the woman who was hugging her tightly under the light of the fire. Her eyes were already red. Mother¡­ Memories of her childhood that were born in her heart collided with her brain that was already in unbearable pain, but the sound that was about to come out of her mouth was forcefully blocked by the memories that came back to her mind. She had only been unconscious for a short while. The area in the direction of the farm was still in flames. Even the fire truck could not get close. The sound of the vehicles was all around her, one after another. She could not hear An Ping kneeling on the ground, hugging her and crying in her ear. She could not hear anything clearly. All she could hear was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice and figure. There was only one consciousness left in her world. Zuo Hancheng would not die, he would not die! There seemed to be Old Master An¡¯s figure in the surroundings. She could not see who else was there. She only knew that everyone was looking at her with worry in their eyes. Those faces under the light of the fire seemed to be more repulsive than the last. An unfamiliar middle-aged man walked up behind An Ping. The surroundings were deathly silent. Anhao¡¯s heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a poisoned dagger. Her entire body was screaming with a terrifying impulse, an impulse that was almost going crazy. An impulse that wanted to jump into the sea of fire and pull Zuo Hancheng out. He should not be living in her dreams, but the people standing beside her were either shocked, heartbroken, or had all sorts of complicated expressions on their faces. But Zuo Hancheng was not among them. She missed Zuo Hancheng. She wanted to see Zuo Hancheng¡­She had Zuo Hancheng and her home. With Zuo Hancheng, she had the whole world. She did not need her parents, her family, or anyone else to love her. Even if the whole world hated her as much as they hated the rebellious Gu Anhao, she was still willing! As long as Zuo Hancheng returned! As long as Zuo Hancheng was still by her side¡­ But who were these people? Who were these faces? Why were some of them crying? Why was D¡¯s eyes filled with heartache, despair, and unspeakable pain? How could Zuo Hancheng be dead? He was clearly talking in her ear just now. He was saying that she loved it, and he was asking her if she still wanted to shoot the beach set. Of course! Zuo Hancheng, you do owe me! Zuo Hancheng, you still owe me a wedding and a wedding photo. You said it yourself¡­ How can something happen to you when you haven¡¯t even paid your debt? How can you disappear from my world? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was still ringing in her ears. Her world seemed to have been cut off in an instant. In her heart and eyes, the whole world was filled with the man¡¯s gentle touch and the deep world that only belonged to her. ¡°Anhao! ¡± Anhao, don¡¯t take things too hard. Mommy is here, Mommy is here. I¡¯m sorry, Mommy caused you to be in this state. Anhao, talk to Mommy!¡±¡±An Ping¡¯s voice kept ringing in her ears. Anhao frowned in frustration. Chapter 864 - Chapter 864: My Child Chapter 864: My Child Anhao felt extremely frustrated. These people¡¯s voices kept ringing in her ears, interrupting her conversation with Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng had been whispering into her ear. He was hugging her, and he was right beside her. What were the people around her doing? Why were they crying? ¡± Anhao, hurry up and talk to Mom. Don¡¯t scare me, Anhao¡­¡± Mother? When did she ever have a mother? Anhao¡¯s lips curled into a cold smile subconsciously. The burning emotions in her mind burned her consciousness away like a red fire in the sky. It was so noisy. She was going to see Zuo Hancheng. Where was he? That was where she belonged. ¡°Anhao! Good!¡± An Pingyi looked at the unconscious Anhao in her arms in horror. Her eyes turned red as she shouted anxiously in the direction of the ambulance,¡±¡±Ambulance! Save my daughter! Please save my daughter!¡± Old Master An stood beside a car, his aged face pale. He stared at Anhao, who was held tightly in An Ping¡¯s arms. He looked at the bloodstains and paleness on the girl¡¯s body, and then slowly raised his gaze to look at the sea of fire in the distance that seemed to burn for days and nights. Anxin huddled behind Old Master An. Seeing her mother hugging Anhao as if the entire world was no longer as important as the daughter in her arms, Anxin pursed her lips, but she did not dare to speak up. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black trench coat slowly walked behind An Ping. He looked at the woman he had not seen for more than 20 years and then at the unconscious child in her arms. His cold eyes turned to look at Old Master An, who had aged even more under the light of the fire. ¡°Old Mr. Anderson, you¡¯ve been here for more than twenty years. Are you satisfied now? You ruined your own daughter and then your own granddaughter. Are you satisfied with all these?!¡± The voice that sounded as if it had been pulled out from hell was filled with questions. The voice that was old but still elegant and deep made Old Master An suddenly look up at the middle-aged man¡­ ***** ¡± I can¡¯t accompany you to the beach to shoot the set. Is it my fault¡­¡± ¡°I can¡¯t accompany you until I grow old¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was still ringing in her ears, but it was so faint that it seemed to be coming from the horizon. It seemed to be leaving her bit by bit, as if something was pulling out of her body and pulling out her life. Fresh and sweet water was suddenly fed into her dry throat, allowing An Hao to feel the outside world in the terrifying darkness and chaos. She could not die, and Zuo Hancheng was not dead either¡­He was waiting for her¡­ However, no matter how hard she tried to open her eyes, she could not open them. She could only hear the chaotic sounds and strange buzzing in her ears. After an unknown period of time, he seemed to hear someone talking. It was a woman¡¯s voice. It was gentle and sobbing. Someone was caressing her face. After an unknown period of time, it seemed as if someone was quarreling. Many people were quarreling. ¡°Alright, stop arguing. If you hadn¡¯t kept rejecting Anping and him back then, if you hadn¡¯t put her under house arrest to stop her from leaving! An Ping would not have accidentally injured a servant when she escaped from the An family and caused the servant to die in time! If it weren¡¯t for you, Anping wouldn¡¯t have gone to live in China under a different name after severing ties with you, and she wouldn¡¯t have been forced by your power to not dare to show off in the country at all!¡± ¡°You should know his ability. Even if Anping goes to China, he can still find her!¡± ¡°Our daughter had already severed ties with you back then, but you still didn¡¯t let her off. You used all kinds of methods and means to force him back to the United States, but do you know what happened to Anping in China after he left? Do you know how desperate she was in the end?¡± ¡± You also know that back then, he looked for our daughter like a madman, but our daughter was tainted by that Gu guy, and because of those years of experience, she no longer saw him. You also know how many methods I used to get Anping to come back before finally wiping her name from that place in China through the hospital¡¯s means!¡± ¡°How did you know that Anhao is our daughter¡¯s biological child who was carefully hidden in China?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know anything. You only know how to do everything with the arbitrary judgment that you were used to when you were young. You forced our daughter to never be happy for the rest of her life, and in the end, you caused our granddaughter to be in such a state! You¡¯re the culprit! When Anhao appeared in front of you, you couldn¡¯t recognize her. Do you know how hard this child¡¯s life is?¡± ¡°Our granddaughter was abandoned in China for so many years. If it weren¡¯t for Zuo Hancheng appearing by her side, I think this child might never have been brought to us. Her background would always be a secret that Anping and I would keep in our hearts. She would never know that her grandfather was the head of the An family in America, and she would never know that she had the blood of the An family flowing in her veins!¡± .. What were those people arguing about? Anhao suddenly opened her eyes when she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name. There were many people standing beside her. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt a blinding white light. However, she heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name. She wanted to see Zuo Hancheng! She tried her best to adapt to the light, but she heard hurried footsteps approaching her. Then, someone came to caress her face and said with a trembling voice,¡±Anhao, you¡¯re awake? Did he wake up? Quickly talk to Mom, Anhao¡­¡± Anhao gradually got used to the light. She felt that person¡¯s hand caress her face and then put it on her shoulder. The gentle force was familiar and strange, but she felt that she was very hot, so hot that even her breathing was hot. Seeing Anhao turn to look at her, An Ping quickly turned around and said,¡±¡±Call the doctor! Anhao woke up! She¡¯s looking at me! My daughter is looking at her!¡± Anhao looked at the tearful woman beside the bed as if she was unconscious. Her mind was very empty. There was nothing. ¡°Anhao¡­¡± An Ping¡¯s hand caressed her shoulder helplessly.¡±¡±My child¡­My daughter¡­ It¡¯s good that you¡¯re awake. You¡¯re scaring your mother to death¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t feel any particular pain on her body. Other than feeling that her entire body was burning, she didn¡¯t feel anything else. She looked at the woman crying by the bed in a daze. The blurry images in her eyes overlapped. When she finally saw that it was An Ping, her gaze passed through An Ping¡¯s shoulder and looked behind her. There were a few people standing in the white ward. There was Mrs. Anderson, who had woken up at some point in time, Grandpa Anderson, a servant from the Andersons, and a tall, unfamiliar middle-aged man in a black trench coat. Chapter 865 - Chapter 865: The Vague Truth Chapter 865: The Vague Truth Old Master An¡¯s eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He didn¡¯t say a word when he saw that Anhao was awake, but there was obvious pain in his eyes. The old lady¡¯s face was filled with tears, but when she saw that Anhao had woken up, she forced a kind smile and looked at her. The tall middle-aged man in the black trench coat looked at Anhao with a gaze that she could not understand. It was like he was amazed, satisfied, and relieved, but also like the dust had settled. However, Anhao didn¡¯t care about all of this. She only heard all kinds of noises in her ears, but she didn¡¯t hear a single word of those strange conversations. The only thing she knew was that An Ping kept calling her name in front of the An family. An Ping admitted that she was the granddaughter of the An family in front of the An family, and An Ping was calling her mother¡­Mother¡­ Anhao¡¯s throat was so dry that she couldn¡¯t speak. She didn¡¯t know what was wrong with her. There were no more injuries on her body. At most, there were some strangulation marks. But she didn¡¯t have the strength. Only the doctor went back and forth to treat her. When the doctor asked An Ping to help her up, An Ping¡¯s hand gently caressed her back and helped Anhao sit up from the bed. She sat beside her and caressed her while leaning into her ear and saying lovingly and gently,¡± You¡¯ve been suffering from a fever for three whole days, but the doctor wants to give you medicine and injections, but you¡¯re resisting. You¡¯re obviously unconscious, but you¡¯ve been resisting, so these days we¡¯ve been trying our best to help you physically lower your temperature. My poor child, you¡¯ve finally made it through. If your fever doesn¡¯t go down tonight, we¡¯ll really force the doctor to give you an injection¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was muffled. She sat on the bed and let the doctor examine her. She closed her eyes tiredly without saying a word. Her memory was stuck in the farm where the fire was intertwined, and the sky was illuminated by the fire. For the past few days, she had been having a dream when she was having a fever. In her dream, Zuo Hancheng asked her when she was going to return their King Kong Calabash Brothers to him¡­ Was it because of this that she had been resisting the doctor¡¯s injections and medicine? She did not know how she resisted in her dream, but she did dream of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words. A few nights before the accident, they still did not take any measures. This time, she was not injured. Other than choking on the billowing smoke, there were no signs of injury. What if there was¡­ If she did, she could not let Zuo Hancheng down again. She could not be so reckless that she did not even have the ability to protect their child. The doctor was checking her condition and temperature. Anhao¡¯s head was held by An Ping and leaned against her shoulder, but Anhao did not feel any warmth. She only watched as the doctors used some cold things to stop on her body. It wasn¡¯t until the doctor left that she didn¡¯t hear what he said clearly. Most of the words he said were about Anhao¡¯s health. However, when An Ping asked for some water to feed her, Anhao took a few sips of water from the straw on the glass. The cup of water was taken away. She lifted her head from An Ping¡¯s arms in a daze and pushed away her mother¡¯s embrace without any reluctance. She only looked at everyone in the ward indifferently, ignoring the complicated expressions on their faces. She turned to look outside the ward. There seemed to be D¡¯s figure, but D did not come in. Anhao looked in D¡¯s direction. Even though the door to the ward was closed and he might not be able to hear her voice, she still sat on the bed and asked with a cold expression,¡±¡±Where¡¯s Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°Where is Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± When An Ping saw her almost dejected gaze, her face was filled with heartache and she could not speak.¡±Child¡­¡± However, Anhao did not seem to notice the heartache in An Ping¡¯s eyes. She only looked around at the other people in the ward.¡±Where is Zuo Hancheng?¡± No one spoke in the ward, only Anhao asked,¡±¡±Where is Zuo Hancheng? Where is he?¡± Anhao¡¯s voice became louder and louder. Finally, the tall man in the black trench coat walked over and looked straight at Anhao. When Anhao saw the man, she paused slightly because of his cold and inexplicably powerful aura. It was as if he was the only one in the room who could give her an answer. She looked at him and asked clearly,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng, my husband, where is he?¡± ¡°If there¡¯s one less man in this world to love you, from now on, I¡¯ll love you in Vllen¡¯s place. Child, you are a pearl that I lost in this world. I will let you recover your glory step by step.¡± Anhao tilted her head slightly and suddenly smiled. She felt that the man¡¯s words were a little strange. What did she mean by there was one less man in the world to love her? Zuo Hancheng was the only man in this world, and he was the only one who loved her. What did she mean by ¡®less¡¯? How could there be less? Zuo Hancheng was still alive! However, she could not say anything because the middle-aged man looked at her with heartache and an inexplicable glimmer in his eyes. It was as if he had finally hoped for something, the kind of suppressed excitement. Mingzhu¡­ Haha. Zuo Hancheng had said it before, what was so important about someone else¡¯s pearl? As long as she was his favorite¡­ Anhao subconsciously raised her hand to touch her ear. The diamond earrings that Zuo Hancheng had personally put on were not there. An irrepressible sense of loss engulfed her. That¡¯s right, the pair of earrings had been pulled down by Gu Shishi and thrown on the ground. Such a small thing must have been buried underground after such a serious explosion¡­ ¡± Anhao, you¡¯re my daughter!¡± The man¡¯s voice suddenly rang out again. He did not want to scare her, but he was trying to comfort her. When Anhao looked up at him again, the man smiled and said,¡±Child, you¡¯ve suffered for the past twenty years. It¡¯s my fault. I didn¡¯t know of your existence for so many years, and I even¡­¡± ¡°Where is Zuo Hancheng?¡± However, Anhao did not seem to hear the man¡¯s words at all. Her divine eyes moved away from his face indifferently and turned to look at An Ping, whose eyes were red.¡±Tell me!¡± The man did not get angry at Anhao¡¯s indifference. His dark eyes instantly swept across Old Master An, who had been standing in the ward without saying a word. Receiving the man¡¯s cold and murderous gaze, Old Master An slowly closed his eyes, shook his head gently, and sighed. Chapter 866 - Chapter 866: Mister Zuo’s Explanation Chapter 866: Mister Zuo¡¯s Explanation Anhao didn¡¯t care what these strange people were communicating with their eyes. She also didn¡¯t care about the gentleness and care that the man who claimed to be her father had towards her and the coldness and arrogance he had towards others. She only stared at the only person in the room who made her speak reluctantly. She stared at An Ping.¡±Zuo Hancheng is still alive, right? He was only injured? Is he just unwilling to see me because he¡¯s injured? Am I right? He must still be alive, right?¡± ¡°Anhao.¡± An Ping looked at her daughter, who was pretending to be calm, with heartache in her eyes. She raised her hand and held her shoulder.¡±Hancheng, he already¡­¡± Anhao stared into her eyes and suddenly said,¡±¡±Enough, no need to say anymore!¡± An Ping¡¯s voice paused, but her eyes were filled with heartache and worry. ¡°If you want to say that Zuo Hancheng is dead, then you don¡¯t have to say anything. I won¡¯t believe you.¡±Anhao slowly raised her hand and pushed away An Ping¡¯s hand on her shoulder. Her gaze no longer lingered on anyone in the ward.¡±I want to be alone for a while. Please leave.¡± ¡± Anhao, you have to accept the truth. The area within a 300-mile radius of the farm was destroyed in an instant. There¡¯s no chance of survival¡­¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Anhao looked at Anping coldly.¡± My mother died in front of me, but she¡¯s still alive and kicking here after so many years. What right do you have to make me accept the truth?¡±¡± ¡°Anhao¡­¡± An Ping immediately sobbed.¡± Mom was wrong. Mom really didn¡¯t know that you and the Gu family would end up like this. Mom really just wanted to protect you¡­¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Anhao suddenly raised her finger and pointed in the direction of the door. Her chest was heaving up and down in anger. She suddenly looked at everyone in the ward and said,¡±Can any of you tell me where Zuo Hancheng is? If the answer is the same, I will accept the reality, then leave! Get out!¡± ¡°Anhao, don¡¯t be like this. Don¡¯t be angry and ruin your health. You¡¯ve just woken up. Take care of your child¡­¡± Mrs. Anderson¡¯s heart ached as she walked over. ¡°I¡¯m not your child. I have nothing to do with you. I don¡¯t have a father or a mother. I don¡¯t have any grandparents either. I only have myself. I¡¯m just an illegitimate daughter who was inexplicably abandoned in China and in the Gu family. I¡¯m just a small troublemaker who can¡¯t be seen in the light. What right do you have to tell me to accept the truth!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice.¡±¡±I only have Zuo Hancheng in this world. I only have Zuo Hancheng! As long as it¡¯s not Zuo Hancheng, I won¡¯t see anyone. Get out!¡± As Anhao spoke, she grabbed everything she could grab and threw it in their direction. The middle-aged man in the black trench coat caught a cup of water nimbly. When Anhao threw the pillow in their direction, he frowned as he caught the pillow.¡±Give her some time to calm down.¡± Anhao heard the man¡¯s voice and had no idea where he had come from. He did not know who he was. He actually shamelessly boasted that there was one less man in this world to love her, and he would love her. How ridiculous! Ridiculous! In her twisted life, who had ever seen these people? Who cared whether she was alive or dead? Who taught her how to behave? Who would smash the report card on her head and scold her for being useless because her exam results were always zero? Who would even think of ways to make her make up for it? Who would stand up for her when she was called to the principal¡¯s office to educate him? Who would believe her explanation? Who would back her up time and time again? Who would make up for her 20th birthday? Who would send her away with a fake divorce in a time of crisis and endure not seeing her for three years? Who would pave the way for her life? Who would tell her to cry in my arms when she was bleeding and crying! In this world, other than Zuo Hancheng who would pick her up from the mud and help her clean up, who else was indispensable in her life? She wasn¡¯t even her mother, let alone these people who had nothing to do with her.! An Ping stayed by Anhao¡¯s side and refused to leave. The man suddenly helped An Ping up with a cold expression. At the same time, he berated the others in the ward and asked them to leave. Anhao didn¡¯t know what they were talking about. She didn¡¯t care about the man¡¯s dignity, nor did she care about his identity. When everyone walked out, An Ping wanted to turn around and say something when she closed the ward door, but Anhao didn¡¯t look in that direction at all. She just stared straight out the window. She remembered that D seemed to be outside just now. Although she didn¡¯t have much strength, she still forced herself to get off the bed with what little strength she had left. Fortunately, she was not injured. However, when she woke up, her head and throat were throbbing. She took a few deep breaths and barely grabbed anything she could grab as she walked to the door step by step. After making sure that those people had gone far away and were not guarding outside, and that there was no sound of An Ping crying or the An family arguing outside, she slowly turned the door handle and pulled it open. D was still standing there like a statue. When Anhao saw D, her cold gaze softened instantly. She asked softly,¡±¡±How long have you been here?¡± ¡°I will stay here as long as Mrs. Zuo is here.¡±D¡¯s answer was very straightforward. There was no fluctuation in his voice. Anhao looked at his clothes.¡±¡±You were driving at that time. When you carried me out of the car, your clothes were burnt and your hands were burned. Why didn¡¯t you treat your injuries?¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo has instructed us to protect Mrs. Zuo no matter when or where.¡±D¡¯s voice suddenly sounded a little dry, but it was still so rhythmic, like a well-trained warrior. Anhao looked at him silently for a long time before she smiled and said,¡±¡±They were all lying to me just now. I know that Zuo Hancheng is only seriously injured. He must be unwilling to see me because he¡¯s too seriously injured and he¡¯s afraid that I¡¯ll worry.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± D looked at her with his dark eyes and said in a clear voice,¡±At that time, only our car was the fastest to escape, but within a minute after that, our car activated the automatic detonation system because half of it was burned.¡± Anhao looked at him silently, her hands clutching the door frame tightly. She almost didn¡¯t have the courage to continue listening. ¡± Those aren¡¯t ordinary explosives. What¡¯s buried under the explosives is a national-grade weapon that hasn¡¯t been destroyed in time and has been buried for many years. Even if the power isn¡¯t enough to blow up the entire New York City, the wilderness within 300 miles has been instantly razed to the ground. Anyone there will¡­¡± There¡¯s no corpse left. Chapter 867 - Chapter 867: Why Do You Owe Her? Chapter 867: Why Do You Owe Her? However, Anhao was unusually calm as she looked at D. D seemed to read her eyes. His eyes darkened and he slowly walked to the door of the ward.¡± Mrs. Zuo, Mr. Zuo used his life to exchange for your life. Please take care of yourself and don¡¯t let Mr. Zuo sacrifice himself in vain¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there were no corpses left? That means the body hasn¡¯t been found.¡± Anhao suddenly opened her mouth, and there was a slight smile in her eyes.¡±Without a body, it can¡¯t be proved that he¡¯s dead. How can it be considered a sacrifice?¡± D didn¡¯t speak. ¡°Has the fire at the farm been controlled? Can we search now? I want to go and look for him. At that time, he was buried by something and wasn¡¯t injured by the explosion. Perhaps he had already escaped. Perhaps he was waiting for me to find him¡­¡± ¡°The fire has been put out. The fire within hundreds of miles around the farm burned for two days and two nights before it was put out. That open space has been blown into a wasteland. Moreover, Mrs. Zuo, after you were sent to the hospital, you were unconscious for three days because of a high fever. It has already been three days¡­¡± ¡°So what if it¡¯s three days? A person would not die if they did not eat or drink for three days. Zuo Yue had also been on a hunger strike for five days before she fainted and was sent to the hospital. It had only been three days. Zuo Hancheng was so healthy and his stamina was so good. How could he not even last three days? He must still be waiting for me. I¡¯m going to find him.¡± As she spoke, Anhao opened the door of the ward and walked out. Anyway, it was hot outside and she did not need to find a coat to wear. It did not matter even if she was wearing a hospital gown. She could wear anything as long as she could find Zuo Hancheng. ¡°Mrs. Zuo.¡± D stood still and looked at the pale woman who was walking unsteadily.¡±Please accept reality¡­We all have to accept reality¡­¡± ¡°Accept what reality? How did it become a reality when the body was not found?¡±Anhao suddenly turned to look at D, but he was once Zuo Hancheng¡¯s most loyal confidant. She couldn¡¯t bear to be angry at him, like how she was angry at the An family and the man who stood up and claimed to be her father. She just glared at D.¡±Zuo Hancheng is not dead! He¡¯s still alive!¡± D stopped talking. He just looked at the woman who was already scarred with the same pain, self-blame, and pity as her. After a long time, he said,¡±Mrs. Zuo, there¡¯s actually something that I didn¡¯t know until now.¡± Anhao looked at him with a strangely calm expression. Her voice was also calm,¡±¡±What is it?¡± ¡°I never understood what Mister Zuo had said about that matter. Perhaps I finally have an answer now. Just like when Mr. Zuo inexplicably married you back then, Mr. Zuo was clearly so indifferent that he didn¡¯t even have the time to love someone, but he could actually care for you so much that he really fell in love with you and really put you at ease¡­¡± Annelle did not quite understand and stared at him in confusion.¡±Are you saying that Zuo Coldcheng had other motives when he married me?¡± ¡°If this can make Mrs. Zuo¡¯s longing and sadness for Mr. Zuo disappear a little, you can think of it this way.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°To put it simply, when Mr. Zuo married you back then, perhaps it was really a coincidence, but Mr. Zuo had too many responsibilities on his shoulders. He was really so busy that he didn¡¯t have the time to love anyone or the energy to take care of young girls. I¡¯m not too sure about the beginning of your marriage, but what I can confirm now is that Mr. Zuo paid more and more attention to you, which led to the development of your relationship until now. Actually, it has a lot to do with your background and your father.¡± Father? Anhao thought of the tall man in black just now. ¡°The man in the black windbreaker just now claimed to be my father.¡±Anhao looked at D indifferently.¡± ¡°He is Mr. Arel, the godfather of the American mafia, the number one lord of the American mafia.¡±D answered honestly. Under Anhao¡¯s stunned gaze, he said softly,¡±¡± Since J was able to tell from your face that you looked very similar to your mother, and suspected that you and Mr. Arel might be related, Mr. Zuo also knew that Mr. Arel had a woman whom he could not forget before he left America ten years ago. He also coincidentally saw a photo of that woman¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze suddenly turned a little stiff. She stared at D stiffly. Every word he spat out was like a knife scratching her heart. However, it was only a light touch, and she did not feel much pain. ¡°So, Zuo Hancheng already knew about my background a long time ago?¡±Anhao¡¯s voice suddenly sounded very faint, so faint that D frowned slightly. ¡°I think so.¡± In D¡¯s eyes, Anhao might have developed a grudge against Zuo Hancheng because she knew about this, but Anhao did not ask anything about Mr. Arel. She did not even feel anything about her own background and how she had suddenly jumped from an abandoned illegitimate daughter to the biological daughter of the godfather of the American government. ¡°Thank you.¡± Anhao unexpectedly smiled at him again, then turned around and walked back to the ward without saying a word. D stood outside the ward and did not move. He sighed in his heart. He wondered if Mr. Zuo would be unhappy if he told Anhao about this. After all, his feelings for Anhao had nothing to do with this. The so-called trump card was just a perfunctory excuse to Mr. Arel after he found out about Anhao¡¯s background. He loved Anhao, but this was not even a tenth of the reason. Everyone had seen how selfless Mr. Zuo was towards Anhao, so how could they use such an excuse to cover it up? However, if she didn¡¯t find a way to calm Anhao down, she might really rush into the ruins to search for him. Her body couldn¡¯t take it at all. In the ward- Anhao stood in front of the window and looked out the window at the noon sun. She had been uneasy for the past four years and could not get her feet on the ground. At this moment, she finally felt at ease. She had never known why Zuo Hancheng would keep her by his side. Now that she finally understood, she was happy to know the truth. At least, if Zuo Hancheng had met another girl, he might not have married her. He definitely would not have married her. He wouldn¡¯t put his attention on others! At least Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was on her the whole time, and it was not like those melodramatic and ridiculous reasons that she had imagined. At least in her heart and in her world, Zuo Hancheng had finally become a real person. He was becoming more and more real. Chapter 868 - Chapter 868: Nothing Chapter 868: Nothing For a person like Zuo Hancheng, love at first sight would never appear in his world. That was why Anhao had been thinking about it all these years. Not long ago, she even asked him foolishly what he saw in her. Even if it was because of his suspicions about her background, at least this mysterious background that she was too lazy to even ask about was the reason why Zuo Hancheng had his eyes on her. Only God knew how difficult it was for a man like Zuo Hancheng to set his eyes on a woman. It was even more difficult than ascending to the heavens. But at least now, she had finally found a home from this ethereal uneasiness and was completely at ease. Was this the reason why Zuo Hancheng said he owed her? How could this be considered owing her? If he hadn¡¯t forcefully entered her world and dragged her out of the mud, if he hadn¡¯t corrected her outlook on life and made her wake up from her hatred and confusion, if he hadn¡¯t made her look forward to a beautiful future, the Anhao standing here now would not be like this¡­ D was still standing outside the ward when the quiet door suddenly opened and Anhao walked out again. ¡°Mrs. Zuo?¡± D¡¯s eyes flashed as he looked at her.¡± ¡°Are we allowed to enter the ruins now?¡±Anhao ignored the shock in D¡¯s eyes and asked calmly. ¡°Madam?¡± D was in disbelief and was even slightly excited by her calmness. ¡± I¡¯ll stand by what I said just now. Before I see the corpse, I won¡¯t accept any of the reality you¡¯re talking about. I¡¯m going to find Zuo Hancheng and my husband.¡±Anhao¡¯s expression was indifferent. Other than her pale face, there was no other sadness on her face. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you can¡¯t be discharged from the hospital right now. Your fever just subsided not long ago, and you haven¡¯t eaten anything yet. ¡± Besides, the area has been cordoned off. No one is allowed to enter to prevent any explosives from causing innocent casualties. So even if you go now, you won¡¯t be able to get close to the site of the accident.¡± Anhao looked at him quietly.¡±¡±How much of what you said to me just now was your subjective consciousness?¡± D didn¡¯t answer. For the first time, a man who had risked his life in the underworld looked a little uneasy in front of this delicate little woman. ¡°I know you want me to let it go and reduce the damage, but what you said just now was unfair to Zuo Hancheng.¡±¡±I know best how he treats me. D, thank you.¡±¡± D¡¯s eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. He looked at her with a smile and a cry. A man would not cry easily, but at this moment, his eyes were still red.¡±If Mr. Zuo is in heaven and can hear your words, Mrs. Zuo, he will definitely¡­Will be very gratified to see the inside ¡°He didn¡¯t die, so he can¡¯t be in heaven.¡±Anhao¡¯s voice was still calm, but when she emphasized that Zuo Hancheng was not dead, her voice was a little stiff and persistent. D didn¡¯t say anything else. He lowered his head slowly and bowed respectfully to Anhao. Anhao didn¡¯t know why he was bowing to her like this. She just smiled and suddenly asked before she walked back to the ward,¡±¡±Does the Zuo family know about this?¡± ¡°Got it. Everyone from the Zuo family is here. Mrs. Zuo came to see you when you were unconscious, but because of the An family, they didn¡¯t stay long before they went to the vicinity of the explosion site.¡± Anhao¡¯s expression looked calm, but her heart was in pain. ¡°Can I accompany them?¡± After a moment of silence, D nodded.¡± I¡¯ll make arrangements as soon as possible, but Mrs. Zuo, it¡¯s best if you stay in the hospital for another day. I can only take you out of the hospital after your condition has stabilized. Also, with Mr. Arel around, it might be difficult to take you out of the hospital without permission, but I¡¯ll try my best.¡± ¡°The Andersons and that Mr. Arel have nothing to do with me. I don¡¯t need their permission to be discharged.¡±Anhao¡¯s voice suddenly turned colder. D didn¡¯t say anything else and only nodded at her.¡±Rest well, don¡¯t think too much. You can only take care of your body and live a healthy life. Only then will you not let down Mr. Zuo¡¯s sacrifice¡­¡± Before he could finish his last two words, Anhao¡¯s gaze swept over him and he immediately stopped. ¡°I won¡¯t let Mr. Zuo down.¡±D added. Only then did Anhao let him go. When she returned to the ward, she sat beside the bed but did not lie down. Her mind was filled with the scene of Zuo Hancheng firing three shots at his shoulder with the black pistol in the dark room. At the thought of this, Anhao¡¯s head began to hurt as if it was about to split open. It was as if the pain had transferred directly to her shoulder. She slowly raised her hand and stroked her shoulder. She closed her eyes and realized that her tears had long dried. The environment of this ward was very good. There was a sofa by the window, a resting room for the accompanying person on the other side of the bed, and a television by the wall. Anhao could not calm herself down now. She sat there quietly and recalled everything that happened that day, the sea of fire, and the scene of Zuo Hancheng pushing her and D out, covered in blood, and asking D to take her away. If this continued, she would go crazy. She got up and turned on the television, trying to find something to distract her. Zuo Hancheng was not dead. She could not keep thinking about these things. She should focus on recovering and then go to the Zuo family to wait for him to come back. As soon as he turned on the TV, the news from a radio station in New York was playing. The news was about the fire on a farm in the suburbs of New York three days ago. That nightmarish scene reappeared in front of his family. Her eyes were filled with the sky full of flames and the constant explosions in the distance until she could barely hear the English broadcast on the news. All she could see was the casualties at the bottom of the screen. There were no specific casualties. Anhao only paid attention to one word, nothing. Destroyed, everything, everything, everything¡­ It meant that all living beings and crops in the circle of this disaster would be destroyed, and no one would survive. Anhao suddenly turned off the television and smiled as she stood in front of it. These people were really crazy. They were all crazy! Wouldn¡¯t using the word ¡®nothing¡¯ on the news mislead the audience? Someone was still alive, and Zuo Hancheng was not dead at all! She had the urge to smash the television. She clenched her fists and resisted all the impulses that almost drove her crazy. The crazy one was obviously the others, not her. She had to calm down! Zuo Hancheng was not dead. She had to calm down! Suddenly, Anhao turned around and quickly walked to the window. She pushed open the window and tried her best to look in the direction of the farm. Even though the fire had been put out yesterday, the sky in that direction was still covered in black fog, as if the smoke had not dissipated¡­ Chapter 869 - Chapter 869: Still Dare to Come Here Chapter 869: Still Dare to Come Here On the way to the Zuo family¡¯s residential area, Anhao sat in the car without saying a word. Her eyes were always looking at the scenery outside, from the bustling international metropolis to the suburbs, from the pleasant suburbs to the smell of smoke, until the greenery damaged by the explosives turned yellow and black, until the green scenery gradually became unsightly. She knew that it was almost time for her to return to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side, and her heart tightened. D was driving, and there were only the two of them in the car. Just like that day when they were escaping in the sea of fire, there were only the two of them. It was as if nothing had changed. As long as she looked back, she would see Zuo Hancheng still looking at her from afar. D was also focused on driving the car without a word. Previously, it took a lot of effort from Mr. Arel to bring Anhao out of the hospital, but the two cars following behind them were obviously sent by Mr. Arel to protect them in secret. Anhao saw it too, but she pretended not to see it. She didn¡¯t even ask anyone about her identity, whether it was Anping or Mr. Arel, whether it was Old Master An or Old Madam An, who had been silent for the past few days and seemed to have aged a lot, Anhao didn¡¯t say a word to any of them. Last night, Anxin had come to the hospital to make a scene while everyone was paying attention. She had scolded Anhao outside the ward for not knowing what was good for her. She had said that her mother had been crying all day and that she had become much more haggard. She had said that Anhao was vicious and had caused Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death, and that her entire family had to suffer with her. She had said that the entire family had not eaten, drunk, or slept with her. She scolded him a lot, but Anhao didn¡¯t come out of the ward to see her. In the end, Anhao was dragged away by the people around Mr. Arel. Until now, Anhao still hadn¡¯t said anything. She didn¡¯t even look at the car that had been following behind her. Although the road from the hospital to the safe area outside the accident site was long, it was still over. When Anhao got out of the car, D walked to the side and helped her out of the car through the fabric of her sleeves. He then stood respectfully behind her without saying a word. Anhao turned around and looked at the pitch-black area in the distance. She had never seen a war in her life, so she could not understand the words that she had read in the textbooks about being razed to the ground in an instant. It was only now that she saw the charred area in the distance, and there were still a few places where black smoke was slowly rising, that she finally understood the meaning of those four words. However, she did not think about whether Zuo Hancheng could escape from such a place. Moreover, he was so seriously injured at that time. She could not think about it and did not dare to think about it. Anhao turned to look in the direction D was pointing at and heard D say,¡±¡±The Zuo family has been here ever since they arrived. They have never left. Other than Zuo Yue who was forcefully taken away by Xu Chengfeng half a month ago, all the other Zuo family members are here. The day before yesterday, Zuo Yue called and said that she would be back soon, but Xu Chengfeng hung up on her.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. D continued,¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s matter has already made the Zuo family¡¯s mental and physical exhaustion. Now, Mr. Zuo¡­¡± Something happened.¡± As if he didn¡¯t want to provoke Anhao, D spoke more tactfully and didn¡¯t mention anything related to death. He continued,¡±¡± Mr. Zuo¡¯s parents and Old Master Zuo are sadder than anyone else. Mrs. Zuo, I didn¡¯t want you to come here because I was afraid that Old Master Zuo would vent his anger on you. After all, these things have nothing to do with you. You¡¯re also in a passive position in the grudge with the Gu family. However, in Old Master Zuo¡¯s heart, he¡­¡± ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°D, wait for me in the car and rest for a while.¡± Anhao interrupted him softly.¡± D didn¡¯t say anything else. Seeing that Anhao had no problem walking to the settlement alone, he knew that she had eaten a lot of food last night and this morning to preserve her strength, so he didn¡¯t follow her. He walked to the temporary tents outside the black area and found the Zuo family. Father Zuo was the first to see Anhao. The moment he saw Anhao, he looked at her with a complicated expression. Mother Zuo then saw Anhao. When her red and swollen eyes met Anhao¡¯s gaze, she quickly walked over and held Anhao¡¯s hand.¡±Child, when did you wake up? How¡¯s your body? Is there anything serious?¡± Anhao did not expect her mother, Xu Yuan, to care about her as if she was her own family. Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly turned red, but she tried hard to hold back her tears and forced a smile.¡±Mom, I¡¯m fine.¡± When she saw Anhao trying her best to suppress her emotions, Mother Zuo¡¯s tears that she had been trying hard to hold back almost fell down in an instant. However, she held Anhao¡¯s hand tightly.¡± We already know what happened in Han City. Even though I can¡¯t comfort myself as a mother, I have to accept the truth. Anhao, you have to be strong. Only you can live well. Every time I see you, I can feel that my son is still by our side. At least the person he loves is still safe and sound in front of us. This proves that he exists and traces of him. You have to be strong, child¡­¡± Father Zuo walked over and looked at Anhao¡¯s expression.¡±¡±I heard that you had a high fever for three days. Why did you leave the hospital so early? I don¡¯t need your help here. Go back quickly¡­¡± Before Father Zuo could finish his sentence, Old Master Zuo suddenly moved out of the tent slowly. He sat in a wheelchair and looked much older than the last time. At this moment, he looked at Anhao expressionlessly, his eyes full of disgust and coldness. The moment he came out, he cursed,¡±You still dare to come here?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze and she turned to look at Old Master Zuo. Old Master Zuo narrowed his eyes.¡±Why didn¡¯t that old fart An come over? Aren¡¯t you his granddaughter? Aren¡¯t you a child of the Andersons? What are you doing here? What relationship do you have with our Zuo family? Why didn¡¯t that old fart come over and let you come here to annoy me?¡± ¡°Grandpa.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me grandpa! I¡¯ve never acknowledged you as my granddaughter-in-law! No wonder Hancheng didn¡¯t tell us about your background. It turns out that you¡¯re not only the granddaughter of that old man surnamed An, but also your biological father. Your background is destined to have a bad ending! The Zuo family forbade anyone from getting involved in the underworld, and so did the An family! I really didn¡¯t expect you to be the child of the Andersons ¡®daughter who ran away back then!¡± Old Master¡¯s words were so sharp that they pierced Anhao¡¯s heart. Anhao had never asked about the specifics, and only had a vague idea. Only D told her some simple things. All she knew was that Mr. Arel was her father, but that was not the main point. She had come all the way from the hospital to find Zuo Hancheng, but what greeted her was Old Master Zuo¡¯s insults, disdain, and hatred. Chapter 870 - Chapter 870: He Was Still Waiting for Her Chapter 870: He Was Still Waiting for Her ¡°That An guy couldn¡¯t discipline his daughter well, so why should he implicate our Zuo family? Your parents have been entangled with each other for more than 20 years. Why should my grandson¡¯s death add a heavy stroke to their love? My grandson! My Han City! It¡¯s all because of the Andersons!¡± Old Master Zuo grabbed the walking stick beside the wheelchair and tried to stand up, but he couldn¡¯t. He sat in the wheelchair and grabbed the walking stick and stabbed it hard on the ground. He even wanted to raise the walking stick and smash it on Anhao. ¡°Dad, Anhao didn¡¯t know her background since she was young. She was abandoned in China and forced into someone else¡¯s house without knowing anything. She¡¯s the most innocent one. Now that something happened in Han City, her pain is no less than ours.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to talk about her, then get lost! Get lost! Everyone with the surname An, get lost in front of me!¡± ¡°Grandpa, my surname is not An. My surname is Zuo¡­¡± Anhao suddenly opened her mouth. Her slightly red eyes were now calm as she looked at the angry old man.¡±I¡¯m Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife. He said that no matter what my surname is, there will always be the word ¡®Zuo¡¯ in front of my name. Whether I have a home or not, the Zuo family will always be my home.¡± ¡°You!¡± Old Master Zuo suddenly glared at her. Mother Zuo, Xu Yuan, quickly pulled Anhao to her side and hugged her protectively. Her eyes were red as she said,¡±¡±Dad, Anhao is Hancheng¡¯s wife and your granddaughter-in-law. Zuo Yue has already cut ties with you. Do you want to push away the last child in the family? Hancheng can¡¯t protect Anhao anymore. Do you have to hurt the person in his heart like this? If Hancheng knew that you were still treating Anhao like this at a time like this, how heartbroken would he be?¡± Xu Yuan cried as she spoke.¡± Anhao is Hancheng¡¯s wife. She is the person my son loves. I can¡¯t find my son now. I can only help him take care of the people he left in this world. Please don¡¯t hurt Anhao anymore!¡±¡± Anhao had not cried since she woke up. She had not shed a single tear, except for when her eyes had turned red in front of Mrs. Zuo. She only insisted when Old Master Zuo glared at her with hatred and a complicated expression, while Father Zuo sighed and Mother Zuo cried to protect her,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng will not die. Grandpa, I will definitely find him!¡± Old Master Zuo was so angry that he laughed. He suddenly let go of the crutch in his hand and let it fall to the ground. He sneered and said,¡±Won¡¯t die? No matter how powerful Han Cheng was, he was still a mortal. Such a serious explosion had happened on the underground weapons one after another. There was not a single living thing in the three-hundred-mile charred area in front of him. How could he not die? If you want to dream, go back to the hospital and dream! Don¡¯t be an eyesore in front of me!¡± ¡°He won¡¯t die! Zuo Hancheng was still alive! He won¡¯t die!¡± Anhao raised her voice a little, as if she wanted to argue with the old man. The persistence and decibel in her voice made the old man frown. The old man was about to speak when Xu Yuan suddenly said,¡±¡± Dad, don¡¯t say anymore. If you continue, Anhao will go crazy. This child will go crazy. Don¡¯t say anymore¡­¡± Anhao immediately looked at Mother Zuo with a strange gaze. Who was crazy? She had only been emphasizing that Zuo Hancheng was not dead. Why did their eyes suddenly look so pitiful? Who was crazy? Who was crazy? Anhao pushed away Mrs. Zuo¡¯s hand without saying a word. She turned around and suddenly pulled open the cordon in front of her and walked quickly towards the charred area. ¡°Anhao! What are you doing!¡± Mother Zuo, Xu Yuan, turned around and saw her actions. She quickly reached out to pull her back. However, Anhao had already walked in quickly for more than ten meters. Xu Yuan was about to follow her in, but Father Zuo stopped her.¡±Don¡¯t go!¡± ¡°Anhao! Come back, it¡¯s dangerous inside! There were pits of fire and remnants of unknown weapons that could explode at any time! Come back!¡± ¡°Child, come back!¡± Xu Yuan cried anxiously.¡± Anhao did not seem to hear any sound. She kept walking forward, as if she was going to reach the farm and the small house hundreds of miles away. It was as if she would find Zuo Hancheng as long as she walked over. He was waiting for her, Mr. Zuo was waiting for her! Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind. D had rushed out of the car and rushed into the police cordon. He grabbed Anhao who was walking in recklessly and turned her around fiercely. Anhao¡¯s eyes were almost out of focus as she looked at D, who was filled with anxiety, and her voice drifted from her mouth,¡±¡±I just want to go in and take a look¡­¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, this place is very dangerous. If you take another step, you might step on something dangerous. Right now, this place is like the mines buried in the jungles of the Myanmar border all year round.¡±D grabbed her arm tightly.¡± Follow me out. Don¡¯t go any further!¡±¡± Anhao raised her hand and tried to push him away.¡±Let go of me, I want to find Zuo Hancheng! I¡¯m going to find him! ¡°Mrs. Zuo!¡± D¡¯s hand was still holding onto her hand tightly as he pulled her out of the charred area. It was only a few steps, but it was as if he had crossed a long lifeline and finally dragged her safely back to the cordon. Anhao turned around and looked at the black space. Her eyes were red as she tried her best to break free from his arms. ¡°Let go of me! Let me go!¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng is waiting for me! Zuo Hancheng is waiting for me to find him! He would not die! D! Let go of me! I¡¯m Mrs. Zuo! I am Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife! I order you to let go of me-¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you can¡¯t go in! If you do something else, then who should take care of Mr. Zuo¡¯s foundation for so many years! Do you want to abandon everything? Do you want to play favoritism? Just like what you said, if Mr. Zuo is still alive in this world and you encounter any danger after entering, how do you want him to live?¡± Anhao seemed to have caught something that made her regain her strength in an instant. She turned to D and grabbed his hand, her nails digging deep into the back of his hand.¡±So Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t die at all, right? You hid him, didn¡¯t you?¡± D looked at her with a complicated expression, but he did not answer her. He only saw that she had been calm in the hospital, but after coming here, she seemed to have gone crazy. He held her hand instead and did not answer her. Instead, he said word by word,¡± Before Mr. Zuo returned to America, he transferred all his assets to your name. His house, car, liquid funds, including Shengling Group, he transferred them all to your name. He entrusted everything he had for more than ten years to you. Mrs. Zuo, you can¡¯t disappoint him¡­¡± Chapter 871 - Chapter 871: Anhao Is Pregnant (1) Chapter 871: Anhao Is Pregnant (1) They were all transferred to her name? Anhao stared blankly at D¡¯s serious gaze. Everything about life and death in her mind seemed to have quieted down in an instant. She just stared at D in front of her and stared back at him in disbelief.¡±What transfer to my name? When will Zuo Hancheng transfer all his assets to my name? Did I agree? Did he ask me? I didn¡¯t even sign it. How could it be transferred under my name?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true! Mrs. Zuo, you might not remember, but when you were still working in the design office of Zheng F, you signed a few documents when you went to Shengling Group to deliver the design drawings. Two of the documents were pressed at the bottom. You didn¡¯t look at them carefully. They were the property transfer consent forms. Mr. Zuo had already handed everything under his name to you a long time ago¡­¡± At that moment, Anhao seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground. D hurriedly wanted to help her up, but he saw Anhao¡¯s expression as if everything had disappeared in that instant. She said in a hoarse voice,¡± Before he returned to the States, Mr. Zuo knew that he was in danger. New York is a forbidden place for him. Once he stepped into this area, whether it was Mr. Arel, J, or the enemies who had been hiding in the dark, they would all come out. But Mr. Zuo knew that he had to thoroughly interrogate your background. He had to let you return to the An family and let your father see you, his daughter, with his own eyes. He had to bring you back to New York¡­¡± Anhao stared at D in a daze, feeling as if he was talking about a fantasy. ¡°Everything that Mr. Zuo has chosen is for you, so Mrs. Zuo, please be strong and don¡¯t let Mr. Zuo down. He has already paved the way for your future. You are no longer the Anhao of the past. You are his Mrs. Zuo, the person he protected with his life. Are you going to disappoint Mister Zuo? He gave you everything he had¡­¡± Anhao remembered the solemn expression on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face when he received the television in the CEO¡¯s office of Shengling Group before she returned to the United States. She remembered that he had wanted to tie her up and not allow her to leave the Zuo family home. As long as she stepped out of the Zuo family home, she was not allowed to leave his sight. Later on, she knew that it was because he had a premonition that there would be danger, but she never knew that New York was a forbidden area for Zuo Hancheng. ¡± Fortunately, Mr. Arel was suspicious of your background because you looked very similar to the woman he had loved for more than 20 years. Therefore, when J¡¯s revenge was launched against us, Mr. Arel did not really interfere. After that, Mr. Arel did not take any action. Mrs. Zuo, you used your existence to help Mr. Zuo avoid the biggest problem. What happened to Gu Shishi was something that none of us expected. However, Mr. Zuo would rather use this method to get me to take you away, even if it meant that he would die without a corpse¡­¡± Anhao slowly closed her eyes. The dried tears finally poured out of her eyes. She wanted to stop them but could not. She could only sob. In the end, she sat on the ground and looked at the pitch-black scene that had been razed to the ground. She raised her head and cried, but she did not cry. She only opened her mouth and couldn¡¯t even make a sound. Her eyes were filled with pain, misery, regret, and despair. ¡°Anhao¡­¡± Mother Zuo, Xu Yuan, said something to Master Zuo in the distance. After that, Master Zuo didn¡¯t even say a word of scolding when he came closer. He just snorted coldly and controlled the wheelchair under him to return to the tent. Mother Zuo walked behind Anhao and hugged the child who was crying silently.¡±¡±You and D should go back. Your body has been injured many times these days. You can¡¯t stand the torture of this deeper and heavier night. For the sake of Han City, you have to take care of your body.¡± Anhao turned around and buried her head in Xu Yuan¡¯s arms, still crying silently. Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes were red, but her hand was patting her shoulder comfortingly. ¡°You should have just found out about your birth. You should go back and have a good talk with your parents. You should know about your birth and all the truth. Han Cheng brought you back so that you wouldn¡¯t have to live in a daze like before. From now on, you are no longer a pitiful child without parents. You have parents. They are waiting for you. They are also distressed about your experience. Open your heart to accept them and listen to their stories¡­ Actually, your parents¡­I knew them when I was young. After all, the Zuo and An families are family friends. Their love is very tiring and bitter. I can understand that they have no choice, but it¡¯s really hard on an innocent child like you¡­¡± Xu Yuan helped Anhao up and looked at the child who was crying so hard that her eyes looked like walnuts. She was afraid that all the tears that she had been crying for so many days had finally been forced out at this moment. ¡± We respect Han Cheng¡¯s decision. Since he has handed over everything under his name to you, Anhao, please accept your pain and help my son protect the company that he has supported for more than ten years. Please protect his country and his hard work. Please grow up as soon as possible. From this crying little girl in my arms to a towering tree, I think this must be what Han Cheng hopes for¡­¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Anhao suddenly hugged Xu Yuan¡¯s neck, unable to say a word. She just leaned on her shoulder and stared blankly at the charred area. ¡± I know you want me to be strong, but I haven¡¯t even found his body yet. What if, I mean, what if Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t die at all¡­¡± Mother¡­ I don¡¯t want to give up¡­¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s hand gently patted her back.¡±¡± If such thoughts will give you the motivation to live, then you should keep thinking like this. Maybe Han City is still in this world, maybe he is waiting in a corner to watch the little Anhao he has been protecting grow up, and watch your life blossom and bear fruit.¡± Finally hearing some comforting words, Anhao leaned on Xu Yuan¡¯s shoulder and nodded, but she still cried silently. D had already walked up to the fire trucks in front of him. He was talking to the New York firefighters. A second explosion could happen at any time, and there were many rescue workers around the settlement. Anhao turned around and saw D¡¯s figure. Then, she saw the mouth shapes of the people beside the fire truck. She was not proficient in English. It was already good that she could barely understand them, but looking at the mouth shapes of those people, she could not understand a single word. Even if they wanted to find out about Zuo Hancheng from outsiders, they found that they still had no way of finding out. Before she left, Anhao looked in the direction of the farm. Nothing? Had everything been destroyed? No, she believed that Zuo Hancheng was an eternal luminous pearl left behind by God. A person like him would not leave this world so easily. He must still be alive¡­ This was her belief, the source of her courage to continue living. Chapter 872 - Chapter 872: Anhao Is Pregnant (2) Chapter 872: Anhao Is Pregnant (2) Anhao was brought back to the hospital. The man in the black trench coat had been waiting in the car outside the hospital for a long time. When D¡¯s car stopped in front of the hospital, the door of the car in front opened. The middle-aged man got out of the car and walked in this direction. When Anhao got out of the car, she saw the man who claimed to be her father. Although her eyes were still a little swollen and her eyes hurt from crying for a long time, she finally looked seriously at the man in black in front of her. He was no longer wearing a trench coat. Instead, he had changed into a black suit, which suited the middle-aged man¡¯s bearing very well. At first glance, people felt that he was both elegant and dignified, but it did not make people instantly think that this man named Mr. Arel was the godfather of the underworld. It did not make people feel that he was filled with hostility. This was a rather charming old man. Anhao looked at him calmly for a long time before the man in front of her smiled. His smile was so amiable that even D, who was getting out of the car at this time, felt uncomfortable. Mr. Arel had never laughed like this before. Could it be that this godfather of the underworld was a womanizer? He could give her all the gentleness and love in the world just because he saw his own daughter? Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps. In the end, Mr. Arel didn¡¯t disappoint her and just smiled at Anhao, patiently indulging her impolite sizing up. When Anhao¡¯s gaze landed on his face again, he smiled and said,¡±¡±Do you need me to introduce myself again?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was as cold as if she was possessed by Zuo Hancheng. She saw that this young girl was not as innocent as a 23-year-old girl at all because she had suffered too many setbacks and injuries. She finally saw her biological father, but she did not even have the slightest excitement. Mr. Arel looked at her for a while and said,¡±¡±Anhao, whether you admit it or not, I¡¯m still your father. Perhaps you¡¯re not curious about the past between me and your mother, or perhaps you¡¯re not willing to listen and accept everything because of Vllen. We can wait until your emotions have calmed down before we explain it to you in detail. But now, you have to admit that I¡¯m your father, and my blood flows in your veins.¡± ¡°So, Mr. Arel, do you want me to kneel down and thank you and the woman you love for giving me life?¡±Anhao replied coldly. Mr. Arel was not displeased by her response. He just smiled at her with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.¡±For the past twenty years, we didn¡¯t know about each other¡¯s existence. Finally, we can officially see our blood kin in the vast sea of people. Child, don¡¯t you want to give your dear father a big hug?¡± Anhao laughed.¡± Why is a person with Asian characteristics talking like a foreigner? Hug?¡± Why should I hug a stranger?¡± Mr. Arel raised an eyebrow. He skipped over the name of the place before it returned and said directly,¡±It¡¯s Hong Kong, which now belongs to China. Your ancestors were Hong Kongers and later Chinese Americans, so it¡¯s not surprising to have Asian looks and characteristics.¡± The old man in front of him had a sense of humor, but his rare humor made the subordinates standing behind him feel goosebumps. Was this still the high and mighty Mr. Arel? After all, he could be considered the underground emperor of the United States. In the end, he was actually so kind in front of his own daughter that he really looked like a qualified father. His humor was simply terrifying¡­ ¡°Oh.¡± However, Anhao¡¯s response to the old man¡¯s fawning tone and humor was just an ¡± oh ¡°. From the beginning to the end, she only addressed him as ¡± Mr. Arel ¡± and did not even call him ¡± Dad ¡°. Anhao brushed past Mr. Arel expressionlessly and walked into the main entrance of the hospital. Mr. Arel stood rooted to the spot. When he saw D, who was about to walk in with Anhao, the friendly smile in his eyes turned cold. ¡°Mr. Arel.¡± D nodded respectfully at the amiable middle-aged men in front of him.¡±¡± Anhao is Mr. Zuo¡¯s wife. Before Mr. Zuo got into trouble, he entrusted Anhao¡¯s safety to me. I hope Mr. Arel won¡¯t force your men to stay by her side. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid her disregard and resistance towards you will only be more deep-rooted.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Mr. Arel¡¯s expression was cold.¡± I suddenly found out that there was a daughter who belonged to me in this world. I needed some time to accept it, digest it, and recognize it. Besides, this child has just gone through pain. She doesn¡¯t have the heart to ask about her background now. I can understand. Since she¡¯s stubborn, I won¡¯t force her to accept it immediately. However, D, you better keep your head down and don¡¯t say anything nonsense in front of her¡­¡± D¡¯s expression froze for a moment before he smiled bitterly.¡±Mr. Arel, she knows your identity very well. She doesn¡¯t need me to say anything.¡± Mr. Arel frowned slightly and turned around to look at the figure that had long disappeared in front of the hospital door. When D was about to turn around and walk in, Mr. Arel suddenly looked at D¡¯s back coldly and said faintly,¡±Where is Vllen now? Two days ago, my men reported that a helicopter had approached the area on the day of the accident.¡± D¡¯s figure suddenly stopped, but he did not turn around or answer. As if he did not hear anything, he walked straight into the hospital¡¯s main entrance. Anhao walked back to the ward alone, but she saw the An family members standing guard outside the ward door. An Ping saw that she had returned and stood up abruptly.¡±Anhao¡­¡± Anhao acted as if she didn¡¯t see anyone. She walked straight past them and pushed open the door to the ward. After closing the door, she leaned against the door and felt as if all the strength in her body had been exhausted in an instant. She leaned against the door weakly and slowly slid down until she sat on the ground. She could no longer cry and could only open her eyes to look at the sky outside the window. The sun was shining brightly, and there were no clouds in the sky. The world would never become gloomy because of someone¡¯s departure. The sun rose as usual, the earth still operated according to its own rules, and the living still carved thick ink colors in their fresh lives. Those people could not feel the pain of losing their loved ones, nor could they feel the coldness and concern that grew in the unknown corners of the ward in this hot summer. She had lost Zuo Hancheng and her entire world. ¡°Anhao! Anhao, open the door and let Mom in to talk to you.¡±An Ping knocked on the door of the ward from outside. Her voice was gentle and sad as she did not want to disturb her.¡±Let Mom talk to you, okay¡­¡± Anhao closed her eyes and still leaned against the door. She didn¡¯t want to hear anything. The love and hatred between her parents, and how the truth was revealed, were not important to her. Everything in front of her was gray, and there was no longer the magnificence that belonged to Zuo Hancheng. Chapter 873 - Chapter 873: Anhao Is Pregnant (3) Chapter 873: Anhao Is Pregnant (3) Ten days later, Anhao was discharged from the hospital. The reason why D helped her with everything was because he was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s man. As long as he appeared in front of her, she felt that Zuo Hancheng did not seem to have gone too far. He had only sent someone to take care of her and protect her. Zuo Hancheng had only gone elsewhere to deal with his matters. The documents for her return to the country had already been sorted out. According to Anhao¡¯s plan, she would return to A City tomorrow. If it were not for the fact that some of her and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s luggage were still in the An family, she would not even step foot into the An family¡¯s door. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to care about how her so-called parents had been forced by Old Master An back then. Since everyone was suffering the same way, they should stop complaining to each other and live their own lives. This was quite good. When she arrived at the An family home, Anhao did not enter. Even though the An family had come out to see her, she did not get out of the car. She sat in the car and stared at a certain direction in the sky, lost in thought. It was not until D went in and took out her and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s luggage that Anhao¡¯s gaze landed on the laptop that she and Zuo Hancheng had placed on the bed. She and Zuo Hancheng did not have much luggage when they came here. They only had a few pieces of clothing for the two of them and a computer that Zuo Hancheng usually kept in the car because he had to receive company documents. After Anhao took the items, she hugged the clothes that belonged to Zuo Hancheng and did not speak for a long time. Her hand caressed the shirt of good quality. Black, white, and linen were the colors that he had worn before. D said goodbye to the An family outside the car. Anhao couldn¡¯t care less about what he told the An family and Mr. Arel. In short, D helped her settle everything, including returning to the country. He was indeed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s trusted aide. He was meticulous and meticulous, taking care of her feelings and avoiding her sensitive points from discussing whether Zuo Hancheng was dead or alive. Anhao had always stressed that she firmly believed that Zuo Hancheng was not dead. As time passed, D no longer argued with her. Anhao consoled herself, thinking that D was actually tactacitly agreeing with her. The black Maybach drove away from the An family¡¯s house. Someone seemed to be calling her name from outside the car. It sounded like her mother¡¯s voice when she was young, calling her well again and again¡­ Anhao looked up at the rearview mirror in front of her. The car was already very far away, and she could barely see the people in front of the An family¡¯s house. There were a few black cars parked side by side on both sides of the road. Those cars seemed to be escorting their car. Anhao suddenly found it ridiculous. Before she returned to the United States, she only had Zuo Hancheng. When she was about to leave the United States, she lost Zuo Hancheng, but somehow, she found her parents and found out about her background. However, these people¡¯s careful love could not compare to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s open care and love. Her hand accidentally touched a tie in her clothes. ¡°I heard that tying a man¡¯s tie is usually the wife¡¯s privilege.¡± ¡°So you should learn well.¡± ¡°Why should I? It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how to tie it yourself.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t you know that this is the first time you¡¯ve helped your husband put on his clothes after being married for so long? Of course, there¡¯s no need to wear clothes. It¡¯s not a bad choice to leave the task of wearing a tie to you.¡± Memories flooded her mind. Anhao picked up the tie and held it in her hand. It was as if Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was holding her hand out of thin air, teaching her how to tie the tie. It was as if she was being controlled by a pair of hands until a beautiful tie was tied, just like the one in the president¡¯s office. As D drove, he saw Anhao sitting in the back seat, hugging a tie and smiling through the rearview mirror. He didn¡¯t know what she was smiling about, but the tie in her hand was Mr. Zuo¡¯s. D shifted his gaze away from the rearview mirror and continued driving toward a hotel near a New York airport. Anhao did not plan to stay in New York any longer, so she stayed at a hotel near the airport for a night. She was prepared to fly back to China the next day, to A City, to her home, to the place where she and Zuo Hancheng truly belonged. That night in the hotel, Anhao was alone in her room packing her luggage. Her luggage bag was not very big, but she still put Zuo Hancheng¡¯s clothes in it first, and then her own things. When she was done packing, she picked up the laptop left behind by Zuo Hancheng and thought about the night when the two of them were in bed at the An family home. They spent the whole night looking at wedding dresses together. The computer had run out of battery. After connecting to the power source, she turned on the computer and the screen gradually lit up. She vaguely remembered that Zuo Hancheng had entered the web page that night and typed in a few letters from that website. Anhao raised her hand and typed those letters until a familiar web page jumped in front of her. The two of them went through the sample photos of the wedding photos one by one. At that time, Anhao was curled up in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms and pointed at the photos. Zuo Hancheng had his arms around her the whole time and his chin was pressed against the top of her head. His pleasant voice was lazy and he would occasionally respond to her as if he was agreeing with her. ¡°I¡¯ll return you your wedding and wedding photos. It¡¯s time to fulfill them.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes suddenly blurred with tears, and the photos on the computer screen seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean in front of her. They didn¡¯t even take wedding photos, so how could they talk about a wedding? She did not even have a wedding ring on her finger. She was so empty that she felt as if Zuo Hancheng had never appeared in her world. He was just a fantasy of hers. She had only dreamed of an illusion in the past few years. Even the clothes that had been dry-cleaned did not have the smell of Zuo Hancheng at all. It was as if she was never married, and there was only a person who had never existed by her side. It was just like those in TV dramas. A dream lover, a dream lover, after setting off countless waves in her world, this lover would appear at a specific time and leave at a specific time. From then on, he would never exist again. It was a terrifying feeling. Anhao put down her laptop. She didn¡¯t know if it was because the air conditioner in the room was too cold, but she felt very, very cold. She felt cold when she stood in front of the window and looked at the planes that took off from the airport not far away. She felt cold when she took a shower. There were no traces left on her body now. That person once said that the hickeys on her body were evidence that she loved him, but these evidence were all gone. She felt cold as she lay on the bed. She covered herself with all the blankets in the room, but it was still very, very cold. The spot beside the bed was empty, and so was her soul. Chapter 874 - Chapter 874: Anhao Is Pregnant (4) Chapter 874: Anhao Is Pregnant (4) Before boarding the plane, Anhao wasn¡¯t in a good state. She didn¡¯t know if it was because she didn¡¯t sleep well last night, but she felt very sleepy and her head hurt. The slight shaking and shaking of the plane when it took off made her stomach churn for some reason. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, are you feeling unwell?¡±D asked with concern. At the same time, he asked the flight attendant for a glass of water for her. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Maybe the temperature of the air conditioner was too low last night, so I caught a cold and had a headache.¡±Anhao said as she gently rubbed her stomach. She only drank a glass of milk in the morning and didn¡¯t eat anything. Perhaps it was because of this that her stomach felt a little uncomfortable. The nausea she felt when she took off gradually improved. Because the plane was stable, she didn¡¯t feel so intense anymore, but she still felt uncomfortable. ***** After more than ten hours of flight, Anhao had been tortured on the plane until she vomited countless times. D was so scared that he thought that her body had not recovered yet, so she vomited so badly. Ever since the incident with Zuo Hancheng, Anhao¡¯s expression was indifferent as if nothing had happened when she was not alone. She would quietly do her own things, and she would usually be so silent that no one would notice her existence. But now, she kept running into the first-class washroom to throw up. Her presence was so strong that an older auntie saw her coming out of the washroom and covered her stomach. She looked at her age and asked with concern,¡±Little girl, are you married?¡± Anhao looked at the unfamiliar auntie with a puzzled expression. She nodded, but she was so upset that she couldn¡¯t speak. The older auntie immediately smiled.¡±Are you pregnant? Was he going to sit on the plane alone? Where¡¯s your husband?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression froze for a moment. The hand that had been covering her stomach because of the discomfort slowly slid down and landed on her lower abdomen. She looked at the auntie with a surprised expression. ¡°I¡¯m a gynecologist. I saw you vomiting non-stop just now. When the flight attendant asked you if you ate something wrong, you said no. I suspected that you were pregnant.¡± Anhao covered her belly with her hand and didn¡¯t speak. The auntie smiled warmly and said,¡±¡±Are you also going back to A City? Do I still have to transfer after I arrive in A City? If you don¡¯t want to transfer, I¡¯ll help you check after you get off the plane.¡± Anhao looked at the auntie with a dull gaze and nodded slowly. Until she returned to her seat, D stood up and helped her pick up the thin blanket. Anhao was holding the thin blanket, and her mood did not calm down for a long time. The various uncomfortable feelings that arose from the churning in her stomach and vomiting seemed to be instantly covered by this joy that came out of nowhere. It had only been about twenty days since she last got together with Zuo Hancheng. However, she had checked the information about pregnancy not long ago and knew that some pregnancy symptoms would gradually start after half a month of conception. Moreover, although she had experienced all kinds of things in the past few days, she did not get an injection or take any medicine when she was unconscious in the hospital with a fever¡­ Her hand gently caressed her stomach. Her nose began to sting and her eyes began to heat up. Zuo Hancheng¡­Our Vajra Gourd. It seemed to have returned to my stomach¡­ ***** A City Airport. After getting off the plane, Anhao had been walking out as fast as she could. The auntie on the plane said that she was a doctor in the gynecology department of City A¡¯s Central Hospital. She even gave her a business card and asked her to go to the hospital for a blood test when she had time. She didn¡¯t want to go anywhere now. She just wanted to rush to the hospital for a blood test. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you were vomiting on the plane. Why don¡¯t you rest in the airport lounge for a while before you leave? I¡¯ll buy you something warm to warm your stomach.¡±D, who had been in the mafia for many years, stood beside Anhao as if he was used to helping Mr. Zuo take care of her these few days. The tough man¡¯s tenderness made Anhao¡¯s mood suddenly improve a lot. She did not know if it was because she was really pregnant, but when she thought about how she was pregnant with Zuo Hancheng¡¯s child, Anhao¡¯s mood became excited. It was as if all the gloominess had left her body for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up.¡±Anhao continued to walk out. ¡°You vomited so badly just now. It¡¯s very likely that you have airsickness. Now that you¡¯ve just gotten off the plane and you¡¯re going to the city by car, I¡¯m afraid your body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. At most, I¡¯ll vomit a few more times. I¡¯ll get used to it. Anyway, there¡¯s nothing in my stomach now, so I can¡¯t vomit anything.¡±As Anhao spoke, a bright smile appeared in her eyes. Although it was very faint, D couldn¡¯t figure out Mrs. Zuo¡¯s sudden change and could only continue to follow her out. Outside the airport, Anhao was planning to hail a taxi to go to the hospital in the city center. However, she saw a familiar black business car parked outside. Looking at the familiar car and the familiar license plate number, her heart felt like it was hit hard. It was as if the man she loved would sit there quietly and turn around to smile at her if the back door of the car was opened. However, only the front door opened. Mobai got out of the driver¡¯s seat and walked quickly to Anhao.¡±¡±Anhao!¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes trembled for a moment before she regained her senses. She shifted her gaze away from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s exclusive commercial car and returned to Mobai¡¯s face.¡±Why are you here? Who asked you to pick me up?¡± She was about to ask if Zuo Hancheng was still alive and if he had ordered them to come and pick her up. Before he could ask, Mobai said,¡±¡±Mr. D informed me in advance. He¡¯s not very familiar with A City and asked me to pick you up.¡± The hope in Anhao¡¯s eyes disappeared in an instant. She looked at Mobai silently. There was no joy or pain in Mobai¡¯s eyes. It was as if his mission was to pick her up, not to add to her sadness or comfort her. He was still the same Mobai, the same Mobai who was loyal to Zuo Hancheng like D. Anhao looked at the MPV again and asked persistently,¡±¡±Are you the only one in the car¡­¡± Mobbai was stunned for a moment as he looked at the hidden emotions in Anhao¡¯s eyes. Her originally calm eyes were now filled with a hint of sadness and bitterness. Then, she gently tugged at her lips.¡±Yes, only myself.¡± Anhao¡¯s hands hung by her sides as she quietly clenched her fists. She did not say anything else. ¡°Anhao, get in the car. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± ¡°I want to go to the hospital first.¡± Anhao suddenly spoke, and at the same time, she looked at Mobai, who had a strange expression in his eyes. She slowly raised her hand and placed it on her flat stomach. Her voice was very soft.¡±Take me to the hospital, the gynecology department.¡± Mobai¡¯s gaze suddenly landed on her stomach, his eyes filled with surprise. Chapter 875 - Chapter 875: Woaini, I Love You (1) Chapter 875: Woaini, I Love You (1) After she came out of the hospital, Anhao held the test results in her hand and was speechless for a long time. The blood test results showed that she was pregnant. The doctor from the gynecology department smiled and said to her,¡±You¡¯re indeed pregnant, but we¡¯ll have to wait for another month before we can know the exact condition of the fetus. From now on, don¡¯t eat cold food, don¡¯t eat crabs, and other foods that can easily cause miscarriage. Go back and read the general knowledge of pregnancy with your husband. You don¡¯t look particularly healthy, so you have to take good care of the fetus¡­¡± He was not healthy because he had not really rested in the United States for the past two months. He had suffered countless injuries and hardships. She had finally returned to A City safely and returned to the peaceful life she wanted. However, Zuo Hancheng was not around and she was pregnant with their child. This mixed feeling of sorrow and joy almost drowned Anhao¡¯s thoughts. She didn¡¯t let Mobai and D follow her during the check-up, but Mobai and D had already gone to the doctor to ask about the situation when she came out. When she came out, the two of them just walked behind her and kept a distance from her. Neither of them spoke, but they all looked in Anhao¡¯s direction. After standing outside the hospital door for a long time, Anhao¡¯s gaze fell. She looked at the test results showing her hCG level and the official diagnosis of pregnancy. Suddenly, she turned around and said,¡±¡±You guys can go do whatever you need to do. This is A City. I grew up in A City. I can go anywhere I want. I won¡¯t get lost.¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo, you still need to take care of your current physical condition.¡±D said. ¡± Anhao, I heard about what happened in America. Your body is already very slow, and now that you¡¯re pregnant¡­¡± Mobai glanced at the test results in her hands as he spoke.¡±¡±Let me send you back. You want to go back to the Gilded Scenic Garden, right? I¡¯ll send you back to the Gilded Scenic Garden.¡± Hearing the words ¡± Liu Jing Garden ¡°, Anhao did not refute. She merely glanced at Mo Bai.¡±Alright.¡± Indeed, this was A City, the place that she was most familiar with. It was a place that she loved, hated, and yearned for. Her life with Zuo Hancheng here was peaceful and peaceful. Other than the fights at home and the constant bullying by him, their lives were really great. She desperately wanted to return to that place, as if she could find the person she was looking for there, as well as traces of that person¡¯s existence. ¡°Then send Mrs. Zuo back. I still have something to do. I¡¯ll contact you later.¡±D glanced at Mobai and walked up to Anhao.¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, take good care of yourself. Don¡¯t forget what I said. Even if it¡¯s not for yourself, you have to live well for Mr. Zuo. Moreover, you have Mr. Zuo¡¯s child now¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything and just nodded. After getting into Mobai¡¯s car, D didn¡¯t follow. It wasn¡¯t until Mobai drove away that she suddenly felt that something wasn¡¯t right. D grew up in the United States and had been following Zuo Hancheng ever since. He had no other connection with China other than Zuo Hancheng. If he sent her back just to help Zuo Hancheng do what he needed to do, then D said that he had something else to do¡­ What was it? However, D¡¯s back view was already far away from the car. Anhao¡¯s gaze slowly turned from the black figure that was gradually blurring to the front, looking at Mobai who was concentrating on driving. Mobai looked at her in the rearview mirror and said,¡±¡±Anhao, I might overstep my boundaries, but I¡¯ve watched you grow step by step over the years, so I should be considered your friend.¡± Anhao stared at him. She didn¡¯t say anything, nor did she retort. Like D, he was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s confidant. She had always treated Mobai as a friend. Moreover, Mobai was a few years older than her. In her eyes, he was half a family member. ¡°Then whether you accept what I¡¯m saying or not, listen to me.¡±Mobai didn¡¯t drive very fast. It seemed that he knew that she was pregnant and wanted to prevent her from getting motion sickness and vomiting. Therefore, he drove slowly and steadily. Even when he braked at a red light, the car wouldn¡¯t shake too much. When they stopped at a red light intersection, Mobai looked at the red light in front of him and let out a long sigh. It was as if he was considering how to speak. After a few seconds, he said,¡±I know about what happened to President Zuo in America ten years ago, but after all, I only followed him later and have been working with him for the company. Although I know about his past, President Zuo has never let me participate. His life is like two different pieces of paper, one black and one white. I believe that the side that President Zuo wants to show you is the side of the white paper, just like the side that Lin Qing and I participated in.¡± ¡± As for the black one, it has long been sealed by the past. But I didn¡¯t expect that so many things would happen when you went with President Zuo this time. Even¡­¡± He paused for a moment and turned to look at him.¡±The news of President Zuo¡¯s passing has been completely blocked in the company. Other than Lin Qing, the vice president, and me, no one knows what happened to President Zuo. Everyone went to work as usual. They only thought that President Zuo went back to the Zuo family in the United States to visit his family and couldn¡¯t come back for some trivial matters in the short term.¡± Anhao looked at him with a slightly stunned expression.¡±¡±After saying so much, what do you really want to say to me?¡± ¡°What I want to say is that since you chose to come back, you should live well. The sun is still operating as usual, and you should continue to live. ¡°Also, before President Zuo left America, he transferred all his assets to you. I know that you haven¡¯t studied financial management and can¡¯t bear such a heavy burden, but as long as you can sort out your emotions and accept everything that President Zuo has given you, Lin Qing and I will spare no effort to help you and accompany you through these difficulties. At least, we can¡¯t let President Zuo¡¯s years of hard work go to waste. At least, we can¡¯t let the child in your stomach go to waste.¡± Shengling Group is also his child. We¡¯ll protect these two children with you, okay?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything for a long time. She slowly turned her head out of the car window. Mobai had already continued to drive forward. As she drove towards the direction of the Liujing Garden, she saw familiar streets, familiar shops, and familiar bus stops. All of these made her feel as if everything that had happened before was just a dream. Zuo Hancheng was still waiting for her at the office or at home. She was just on her way home from school, looking angry and unwilling to go home. ¡°Anhao.¡± Mobai called out to her softly as he drove. Chapter 876 - Chapter 876: Woaini, I Love You (2) Chapter 876: Woaini, I Love You (2) Anhao came back to her senses and looked at him. After a long time, she slowly nodded and said,¡±¡±Give me some time.¡± Mobai looked at her through the rearview mirror and saw that her expression was calm, unlike what D had said about her almost going crazy in New York. It seemed that she was already prepared to face everything when she was preparing to come back. She had no choice but to be rational and calm because of the baby in her stomach. This kind of suppressed growth was painful. MobMobai couldn¡¯t empathize with it, but it was equally unbearable. ¡°How long will it take?¡± ¡°.. I don¡¯t know.¡± Anhao¡¯s answer wasn¡¯t to let go of her emotions, but she really didn¡¯t know how long it would take for her to stand up again. She knew that she had to stand up, but she did not know how long it would take¡­ Mobai also knew that she was not deliberately perfunctory, so he smiled.¡±¡±It¡¯s okay. Lin Qing and I will handle a series of related matters in the company. The vice president is also an old man in the company, but Anhao, don¡¯t take too long, or you won¡¯t be able to handle it sooner or later.¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She only saw the direction of the Gilded Scenery Garden that gradually entered her sight. There seemed to be a string hanging in her mind. Finally, she said softly,¡±Do you think Zuo Hancheng has already returned? Returning to the country before me¡­He¡¯s waiting for me at home¡­¡± Mobai slammed on the brakes and parked the car in a parking lot outside the Liujing Garden. He looked at Anhao through the rearview mirror and was sure that she needed time to sort out her emotions. ¡°Are you going in by yourself?¡± ¡°Yes, I can do it myself.¡± Anhao opened the car door and got out. Mobai hesitated for a moment before following her out of the car. He went to the trunk and took out her luggage.¡±I¡¯ll help you take your luggage in. I¡¯m not going in.¡± He knew that Liu Jing Garden was Anhao and President Zuo¡¯s place, and now it was a memory that was not allowed to be touched with outsiders. Before she could accept all of this, she had to avoid all her sensitive feelings and be careful. Anhao didn¡¯t refuse. When Mobai sent her back to the Gilded Scenic Garden, the security guard at the entrance noticed Anhao and immediately poked his head out to greet her warmly,¡±¡±Mrs. Zuo, you¡¯re back? Didn¡¯t Mr. Zuo come back with you?¡± Anhao only stopped in her tracks for a moment, but she didn¡¯t say anything. She walked straight in. Mobai turned his head and gave the security guard a look, signaling him not to say anything. The security guard rubbed his nose in confusion. They all knew this Assistant Mo. When Mr. Zuo used to live here, Assistant Mo would often bring some company documents over. But why wasn¡¯t President Zuo back today? When they arrived at the house, Mobai placed the luggage beside her legs.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go in. During these two months, there have been regular people coming to clean the Gilt Scene Garden regularly. Not a single speck of dust has been left behind, and it¡¯s very clean.¡± Anhao turned around and was about to thank him when Mobai suddenly said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll get Lin Qing to come over and take care of him.¡± ¡°No need. The injuries on my body have long been healed. There¡¯s nothing to take care of. I can do it alone.¡± ¡°But you¡¯re pregnant¡­¡± I¡¯m pregnant, I¡¯m not sick, I always listen to others, I¡¯m pregnant, I¡¯m pregnant, I¡¯m pregnant, I¡¯m vomiting, I¡¯m vomiting, I¡¯m used to it, I¡¯m slowly, I¡¯m always used to it, and this kind of small thing, I¡¯m not necessary, I¡¯m taking care of you, I¡¯m the one. Lin Qing and you still have company matters to attend to. Don¡¯t let her waste her talents.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was very, very faint, as if nothing could stir up a ripple in her. Although Anhao was considered calm, it still made Mobai¡¯s heart ache. ¡°Then I¡¯ll find a 24-hour nanny later.¡± ¡°There¡¯s really no need, Mobai. I want to be alone for a while. I want to be alone at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s and my home for a while.¡±As Anhao spoke, she looked at him with a pleading gaze.¡±¡±Is that okay?¡± Mobai didn¡¯t say anything else and just stood outside the door to look at her. It wasn¡¯t until Anhao opened the door and walked in, until she and the shadow of the suitcase entered the door, that he went forward to help her close the door. After blocking her gaze, Mobai sighed. The moment she closed the door, Anhao looked up at the empty house. Everything in the house had not changed. Except for the absence of Zuo Hancheng, it was not empty. It was obvious that she and Zuo Hancheng had walked past every corner. Zuo Hancheng on the sofa, Zuo Hancheng by the wall, Zuo Hancheng in the kitchen, Zuo Hancheng in the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Zuo Hancheng by the dining table, Zuo Hancheng on the bed¡­ Anhao didn¡¯t know how much courage she had to use to carry her suitcase to the sofa. As she looked at the familiar furniture, her mind was buzzing. Not long ago, she was still coquettishly saying in his arms that she wanted to go back to A City and Liu Jing Garden. He was finally back¡­ .. The sky was getting dark. Anhao had already packed her luggage, and she had also placed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s computer and clothes neatly. It was only then that she realized that she was hungry. Recently, she hadn¡¯t been eating well. She had only eaten a lot the day before she boarded the plane to preserve her strength. In the end, she couldn¡¯t remember how many times she had vomited on the plane. It was only now that she sat on the sofa as if her entire body was exhausted. She held her phone and kept scrolling through the takeout software, but she didn¡¯t want to eat anything. ¡°When are you going to return our Vajra Gourd Brothers to me?¡± Anhao almost fell asleep on the sofa. Suddenly, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice rang in her ears. She opened her eyes abruptly and looked around in a daze. Then, she subconsciously raised her hand and placed it on her stomach. She was no longer alone in her body. It was okay for her to go hungry, but she had to eat for the sake of the baby. She had to eat less takeout and eat healthily. Because of the sudden presence in her stomach, Anhao gradually became more energetic. She got up and changed into a set of comfortable clothes. Even her long hair was tied diagonally to the side of her neck with an elastic hair tie. After changing into the comfortable sneakers at home, she went out directly. She and Zuo Hancheng had been to the large supermarket across the street many times, and she had been there herself many times. But now, she was the only one who knew how it felt to walk in alone. She pushed the shopping cart around the supermarket without a clue. She didn¡¯t know what to buy. Even though she had learned how to cook and take care of herself in the United States three years ago, she really didn¡¯t know what to eat now. She had no appetite for anything. In the end, he stopped at the noodle section to buy some noodles and eggs, then some vegetables. Finally, he walked to the meat and seafood section. The moment he smelled the bloody smell, his stomach began to churn again. Chapter 877 - Chapter 877: Woaini, I Love You (3) Chapter 877: Woaini, I Love You (3) Anhao quickly pushed the shopping cart away from the fresh meat section. She only felt better when she reached the fruit and vegetable section. She had vomited more than ten times throughout the day. If she vomited again, her stomach would probably fall out of her throat. Anyway, he had already bought some noodles and eggs. He would consider buying other things when he felt better tomorrow. Anhao glanced at the fruit section and didn¡¯t have anything she wanted to eat, so she pushed the shopping cart to pay the bill. While she was queuing near the cashier, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Anhao took out her phone and saw that it was Huang Amao calling. She didn¡¯t even need to think to guess that Mobai was worried about her and was worried that she would reject his and Lin Qing¡¯s concern, so he revealed the news of her return to Huang Amao. Mobai was sure that he didn¡¯t ask Huang Amao to cause a scene in front of him to torture her? As soon as he picked up the phone, Huang Amao asked directly,¡±¡± Where the hell are you going? I¡¯ve been ringing the doorbell at your door for so long, but you didn¡¯t open it for me! Didn¡¯t you just come back today? Where did you go?¡± ¡°I¡¯m at the supermarket opposite the neighborhood.¡± Anhao said calmly and added,¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing in the fridge. I came out to buy some food.¡± Hearing that she was only going out to buy food, Huang Amao was relieved.¡±¡±Do you want me to pick you up from the supermarket or wait for you to come back?¡± Anhao glanced at the shopping cart and realized that there wasn¡¯t much in it. Besides, she wasn¡¯t in the mood to continue strolling around, so she just let her wait in front of her house. A few minutes later, Anhao came back with a shopping bag in her hand. As expected, she saw Huang Amao standing outside her house in a sky-blue police trainee uniform. Anhao had been wondering how the security guards had let her in since they had never allowed strangers to enter and Huang Amao had never visited the garden before. It was because he saw that she was a police officer¡­ No wonder when Anhao walked in from the entrance of the community, the security guard sized her up with a strange gaze for a long time. It was as if she had murdered her husband and was about to be taken away by the police. Anhao¡¯s lips twitched as she walked to the door. Huang Amao turned around and saw her. He immediately looked up and greeted her with a bright smile,¡±¡±Tell me, I just came to your house to stay for a while. Why are you so polite? You even went to buy food and cooked for me¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly looked at the things in Anhao¡¯s bag and said angrily,¡±¡±Damn, Gu Anhao, do you have to be so stingy? You only bought a few noodles, vegetables, and eggs? Where¡¯s the meat? Where¡¯s the meat? There¡¯s no meat at all?¡± Anhao glanced at her.¡± I¡¯ve been feeling nauseous at the smell of meat recently. Please bear with me and eat some vegetarian food with me.¡±¡± Huang Amao looked at her with a strange expression for a long time, then said faintly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me that you really have one. I didn¡¯t believe it when Mobai told me¡­¡± Anhao glanced at her. Huang Amao realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he didn¡¯t think much of it. He just shrugged and chuckled.¡±You must have guessed who sent me here. Otherwise, how could I be so resourceful to know that you¡¯re back today?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say much and opened the door to enter. Huang Amao followed behind her and chattered non-stop,¡±¡±Aiya, speaking of which, this is the first time I¡¯ve come to the Gilded Scenic Garden. I already felt that it was luxurious enough when I was with you in the private garden of the Imperial Court. Now that I¡¯m lucky enough to be able to enter the Gilded Scenic Garden, Anhao, I¡¯ve really benefited a lot from following you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mock me. Your family is so well-off, so why are you pretending to be surprised?¡±Anhao wasn¡¯t in the mood to play with her. After putting the shopping bags in her hands into the kitchen, she walked out and sat on the sofa with a tired expression. Huang Amao saw that she was really listless and that she didn¡¯t look too good, so he shut his mouth. However, he moved closer to her and looked at her face carefully.¡±¡±Are you feeling unwell? Do I need to send you to the hospital? My car is outside and I can drive it away anytime.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. It¡¯s a little disgusting.¡± Anhao waved her hand. Huang Amao immediately rolled his eyes.¡± Look at all of you. Last month, when Su Chunchun sneaked back to A City, she told me that she was a little nauseous. I thought something was wrong with her. In the end, I found out that she was pregnant! In the blink of an eye, it hasn¡¯t been long, and you¡¯re telling me that it¡¯s disgusting again! Is Gu Anhao as good as the two of you? I still have my first kiss!¡± In the end, Anhao was still amused by her, but her smile was very shallow. It was slightly hooked and then faded away. But at least she was smiling. Huang Amao approached her again and sat down beside her.¡±¡±Baby, if you¡¯re feeling upset, don¡¯t hold it in. Life is about crying and laughing when you want to. Besides, you still have a little one in your stomach. You must treat yourself well. Don¡¯t get angry and don¡¯t be anxious. Life will get better again.¡± ¡°You already know?¡± Anhao asked. Huang Amao paused for a moment, then slowly curled the corners of his lips. His voice was a little muffled for a moment.¡±Yes.¡± Then, she said,¡± You¡¯re doing well. Just listen to me. No matter how sad you are, it will pass sooner or later. You¡¯re still young. If you want to keep this child, we won¡¯t object. After all, we all know how much Zuo Hancheng means to you. We also know that you probably won¡¯t meet someone who loves you more than him in your life.¡± However, life still has to continue¡­¡± Life had to continue. She didn¡¯t know how many people had said this to her these days. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything. She stood up and walked to the kitchen. As she walked, she said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll make two bowls of vegetable noodles. If you want to eat, raise your hand. If you don¡¯t want to eat, I¡¯ll only make one bowl.¡± There was no movement behind her. Anhao looked back and saw that Huang Amao had already raised his hands. Can I have two bowls?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t buy too many noodles. There¡¯s only enough for two bowls. Do you want to snatch food from the child in my stomach?¡± ¡°Oh, forget it then. One bowl it is¡­¡± Huang Amao looked melancholic. When Anhao was boiling water to cook noodles, Huang Amao suddenly popped his head out from the kitchen door.¡±¡±Then can I add two more eggs¡­¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao turned around and rolled her eyes at her. In the end, she was so angry that she laughed.¡±Alright.¡± ¡°Yay!¡± Huang Amao happily turned around and went back to the sofa. She laid down on the sofa and enjoyed the bowl of heart-shaped vegetable noodles from a pregnant woman. While waiting for the arrival of the delicious food, he looked out of the window at the dark sky and sighed. Zuo Hancheng, my dear Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯ve personally transformed our Anhao from a girl who knew nothing into an all-rounded housewife. You really don¡¯t know how to enjoy life. You¡¯re going to die so early. Aren¡¯t you afraid that our Anhao will be married off to someone else? Chapter 878 - Chapter 878: Woaini, I Love You (4) Chapter 878: Woaini, I Love You (4) After the meal, Anhao was about to ask him to leave, but Huang Amao refused to let her go and even mumbled,¡±¡± Anhao, you can¡¯t be so inhumane. Do you have the heart to let such a beautiful, adorable, elegant, and lovable little policewoman like me out in the middle of the night? What if I¡¯m targeted by a rapist or something in the middle of the night¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched, and she moved her hands away from her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you have a baton on you?¡± ¡°The baton is useless. If you don¡¯t use it well, you might be electrocuted.¡±¡±Huang Amao continued to place his hands on her body.¡±¡±You just returned to the country, and you¡¯re late. You¡¯re late. Let me accompany you.¡± ¡°I realized that you¡¯ve become more and more shrewd these past few years.¡±Anhao couldn¡¯t take it anymore and slapped her claws away again. ¡°She can even scold people. Not bad. At least she¡¯s still my Anhao in her bones.¡±Huang Amao hugged her, feeling touched.¡±¡± Mobai gave me a mission to stay by your side. He even said that your health wasn¡¯t good and that you were pregnant. He couldn¡¯t rest assured that you were alone at home.¡± Anhao looked at her with an unfathomable expression.¡±¡±When did you become so familiar with Mobai¡­¡± Huang Amao jumped to the side like a spring.¡±¡±What do you mean by familiar? He contacted me because of you!¡± Anhao glanced at him and said indifferently,¡±¡±I was just asking casually. Why are you so agitated?¡± Huang Amao was speechless. In the end, Huang Amao stayed behind and accompanied Anhao to the second floor to pack up the baby supplies that she had prepared a long time ago. Just as Anhao was picking up a can of milk powder for pregnant women and checking the production date on it, she realized that it had expired. She felt that it was a pity. Fortunately, only the milk powder from three years ago would expire. The other supplies were still brand new and usable. Huang Amao helped her tidy up and said,¡±¡±By the way, the resort by the beach in A City was renovated by Shengling Group, right?¡± Anhao turned around and glanced at her.¡± ¡± Nothing much, but a few days ago, it seems that people from the Construction Bureau and the tourism bureau went to cause trouble because of a series of problems with the tourists of a few resort. Although the resort was renovated by Shengling Group, most of it was still controlled by the tourism bureau, so there were quite a lot of things. A few days ago, someone died.¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes paused.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just a police officer. I didn¡¯t follow them to investigate the case. I only heard from my colleagues in the police station that there were two men who had too much to drink in there. I don¡¯t know why they started arguing. That night, one of the men stabbed the other to death with a knife. The scene was bloody.¡± Anhao turned around and continued to tidy up her things. However, Huang Amao¡¯s words reminded her of the resort. Speaking of the resort, it seemed like she had some unfinished business before she left for America. Although she no longer lacked the 50,000 yuan, the job that Mobai had introduced to her back then had made her passionate for quite a while¡­ She didn¡¯t know if Mr. V¡¯s villa had been renovated or if the design was still based on her idea. In the past two months, she had seen blood in America. Anhao didn¡¯t feel scared by the murder case mentioned by Huang Amao. After all, there were people in this world who experienced birth and death every second. There were all kinds of reasons, and everyone experienced gain and loss. She was folding a baby¡¯s clothes when she suddenly stopped. ¡°Hey, lift your foot. You stepped on the board of the crib.¡±Since the baby cot had been moved to another room, it had to be disassembled and reassembled. Huang Amao squatted on the ground and reached out to push Anhao¡¯s leg. However, Anhao suddenly stood rooted to the ground as if she had been petrified. Huang Amao looked up at her suspiciously.¡±¡±What are you doing? Raise your feet¡­Hey! Anhao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao suddenly turned around and walked out of the room. Huang Amao thought something had happened and quickly got up to chase after her, afraid that Anhao would fall or something would happen to her. However, Anhao had already run downstairs and turned on a computer in the study room. She sat in front of the computer and opened her email. Huang Amao stood behind her with a dumbfounded expression.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Anhao¡¯s hands were trembling. After logging into the email address that she used to contact Mr. V often, she flipped through the emails that she had sent to Mr. V one by one¡­ ¡°Anhao, why are you trembling? What happened? What happened?¡± Huang Amao found that she was not normal and quickly put his hand on her shoulder, only to find that Anhao was trembling. Why did she only think of it now! Why did she only realize it now? Zuo Hancheng¡¯s English name was Villen. If she had not heard the name Villen so often in the United States, she would not have realized it until now. Mr. V, Mr. V, this Mr. V is Zuo Hancheng! Anhao looked at the few questions she had asked him in a silly manner, at his patient replies, and at him saying that he was waiting for his wife to come back¡­ ¡°Anhao, what happened to you¡­¡± Huang Amao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.¡±I¡¯ll call Mobai and ask him to come over!¡± ¡°No need!¡± Anhao stopped her and stared at Mr. V¡¯s email on the screen. She saw the gray dot behind his name, indicating that he wasn¡¯t online. Anhao¡¯s hands trembled as she clenched her fists on the mouse. Mr. V¡­Zuo Hancheng¡­ It turned out that when she came back from studying abroad, Zuo Hancheng had seen every step she took. He even knew that she was short of money. No wonder it was so cheap. It was just a villa design and she was given 50,000 yuan. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s good intentions seemed to have shattered all of Anhao¡¯s self-control at this moment. She suddenly laid in front of the computer and wailed. Huang Amao was stunned by her tears. ¡°An-Anhao, don¡¯t be like this¡­There are plenty of fish in the world, don¡¯t you think so? Why do you have to keep thinking about Zuo Hancheng? Besides, he¡¯s no longer around¡­What did I say? What I mean is, I¡¯ll still say the same thing. Anhao, you have to live well. You can¡¯t take things too hard¡­¡± Anhao was crying louder and louder. Huang, Ah, Mao, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Zhen, Anhao was crying in the study. Suddenly, the computer rang with a notification that a new email had arrived. Anhao stopped crying the moment she heard the sound. She raised her head and looked at the computer screen with tears in her eyes. The screen showed,¡± You have received an email from Mr. V.¡± Chapter 879 - Chapter 879: Woaini, I Love You (5) Chapter 879: Woaini, I Love You (5) Anhao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as she stared at the notification that popped up on the screen in surprise. Her entire body seemed to be burning up in an instant. She stared at the notification for a long time as if she was trying to make sure that she was not mistaken. ¡°Hey, hey! Mobai, Anhao is crying. She just opened her email and looked at Mr. V¡¯s email and chat history. Then, she cried so hard that she couldn¡¯t even hear me¡­¡± Huang Amao¡¯s phone call rang in the living room. Anhao sniffed. Her heart almost stopped because of the email notification that suddenly popped up. However, it clearly showed that Mr. V was not online. He was clearly not online¡­ What was this email? Anhao¡¯s trembling hands touched the mouse and clicked on the new email. The email displayed was an instant email that the other party¡¯s mailbox owner had stored in the system. It meant that she would receive the email whenever she opened it again. In other words, he had stored the email in the system of the mailbox a long time ago and saved it as an instant email. If Anhao did not open this email in the future, she might never receive this email and new email notifications for the rest of her life. Anhao¡¯s eyes were trembling, and the email page was very clean. There were only two lines of words. 2315,19,149. I love you. .. Anhao stared at the computer screen and looked at the string of numbers. At this moment, she finally knew the answer to the password¡­ It was only after she finally saw the answer that she numbly grabbed the flash of inspiration in her mind. She found 26 English alphabets on the internet and compared them. The 23rd letter is W, the 15th letter is O, and Wo is me. The first letter was ¡®A¡¯, the ninth letter was¡¯ I¡¯, and ¡®Ai¡¯ was ¡®love¡¯. The 14th letter is n, the 9th letter is i, ni is you. wo,ai,ni.. I love you¡­ Zuo Hancheng had already taken care of her intelligence enough to give her such a simple question in English and elementary school pronunciation. However, she had never thought of it and had never guessed it. Anhao¡¯s tears fell one by one. She could no longer cry. She just stared at the two lines on the screen, at the email, and at the gray dot behind Mr. V¡¯s email. He¡¯s not online, he¡¯s not online at all¡­ Would this mailbox still light up? Would her Zuo Hancheng and her Mr. V return? Anhao suddenly started to search for all the emails related to Mr. V like a madman. She did not miss a single word. She read it word by word and confirmed it word by word. When Huang Amao ran back to the study room, he saw Anhao sitting in front of the computer and frantically searching for emails. He quickly passed her the phone.¡±¡±Anhao, Mobai has something to say to you. He wants you to answer the phone. Anhao, calm down.¡± Anhao paused and turned to Huang Amao. Her eyes were filled with worry. She looked at the phone in Huang Amao¡¯s hand and raised her hand to take it. As she placed it by her ear, she heard Mobai¡¯s voice. His voice was very calm, like a beautiful zither string soothing her restless heart at the moment. ¡°Anhao.¡± Anhao slowly closed her eyes. After she calmed down, she asked stiffly,¡±¡±Mr. V is Zuo Hancheng, right?¡± The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before answering,¡±Yes.¡± Anhao suddenly smiled with tears in her eyes.¡±¡±Mobai¡­¡± Hearing her trembling voice, Mobai comforted her softly,¡±¡± Anhao, let it go. You promised to be strong today, but you just need time. I¡¯ll give you time, but it won¡¯t be too long. You¡¯re already an adult. Don¡¯t dwell on the past. You should stand up again.¡± ¡± Mobai, do you think Zuo Hancheng will suddenly wake up one day? Will he talk to me, even if it¡¯s just typing on the internet? Will he appear again¡­¡± This time, Mobai was silent for a long time. He did not say anything, but neither did he open his mouth to give her a negative answer. Anhao looked at the dark email on the computer screen while she was on the phone.¡±¡±I always feel that he¡¯s still alive. He¡¯s not dead¡­He must still be watching me from some corner of the world, waiting for me¡­¡± ¡°If he had really gone, he would hope that you would live well and live strong. If he was really still here, he would not want to see you in such a dispirited state.¡±Mo Bai softly said,¡± Well, the seaside villa is a gift from Zuo Zong to you. He said that he once took you to the United States and took you to the beach. You said that you liked the seaside, so you were equipped with a villa at the seaside of the resort. He left the best place by the seaside to you and said that you should design it yourself and pretend to be what you like.¡±¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier?¡± Anhao choked.¡± ¡± President Zuo didn¡¯t say anything, so I couldn¡¯t say anything. Besides, these were all surprises that he had prepared for you. President Zuo said that you two have been married for so long, but you didn¡¯t fall in love first, hold hands, and kiss like other people. Instead, you suddenly got married. In the beginning, he even controlled you until you were furious all day. He wanted you to be happier¡­¡± Anhao couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She put her phone on the table and ran out. ¡°Anhao, where are you going?!¡± Huang Amao quickly ran out, only to see Anhao run out of the door. She stood in front of the door of the home of Liujing Garden and cried silently. As she cried, she looked at the stars in the night sky. In the end, she cried until she knelt on the ground. Huang Amao ran over and squatted beside her to help her up.¡±¡± Anhao, don¡¯t be like this. Anhao, don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Huang Amao had never seen Anhao cry like this before. Anhao used to be the one who could cause the most trouble among the three of them, but she was also the least afraid. When had she ever cried like this?! Love was simply too terrifying. It could change a person into this, and destroy a person into this! In the end, Anhao was forced back into the house by Huang Amao. After the door was closed, Anhao knelt on the carpet and cried. It was much better than crying on the ground outside. However, Anhao suddenly became very quiet after entering the door. She just sat silently on the carpet and stared at a certain point without moving, but her eyes were unfocused. ¡°Anhao.¡± Huang Amao was about to sit beside her and talk to her. Anhao suddenly regained some focus in her eyes and said softly,¡±¡±Help me tell Mo Bai to prepare some books on finance and business management for me when my health is better.¡± Huang Amao was stunned.¡± Anhao seemed to have recovered from her grief. She turned to Huang Amao and said clearly,¡±¡±I can¡¯t let Zuo Hancheng down¡­I believe that he will come back. He will definitely come back. Before he comes back, I have to protect everything that belongs to him, including myself¡­I¡¯m gonna¡­ Take care of myself.¡± Chapter 880 - Chapter 880: Woaini, I Love You (6) Chapter 880: Woaini, I Love You (6) No one knew what happened that night. Perhaps only Huang Amao and Mobai knew about the painful change in her heart that night. Everyone else saw how she suddenly wiped away her tears and grew up. It was as if all her sadness had been wiped away. Her life began in an orderly manner again. She began to take good care of her body. Every day, the doctor told her to take the folate on time to ensure the health of the child in her stomach. Every day, she would wake up early to jog and do simple exercises. Of course, the premise was that she would not hurt the child. Because of her pregnancy, the scars on her back could not be treated with medicine or scarring surgery for the time being. However, after a period of recovery, the color of the scars had become much lighter. Fortunately, the summer had quietly passed, and the clothes she had to wear every day were added layer by layer. No one could see the scars on her back, and no one knew what she had experienced. Three months later. At the seaside resort in A City, Mr. V¡¯s villa could finally be officially started. The design plan was still designed by Anhao herself. The stadium and cultural center of Zheng F had also been gradually built, and the rough outline had already appeared. Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. Anhao walked to the seaside villa and looked at the workers who were moving all kinds of renovation tools, cement, sand, etc. She stood outside the window and looked at the busy people inside. After looking for a long time, she turned around and looked at the swing on the beach not far away where she used to sit. She slowly walked to the swing and sat down. The sea breeze blew past, and Anhao narrowed her eyes slightly. She raised her hand and pulled up the knitted scarf around her neck. ¡°Anhao!¡± Anhao didn¡¯t move when she heard her voice. Lin Qing walked over with a few documents that required her to be signed. Seeing that she was sitting by the sea and enjoying the sea breeze, Anhao¡¯s expression changed and she quickly walked to her side.¡±¡±My little ancestor, why are you here again? Don¡¯t you know that your body can¡¯t catch a cold or get sick? It¡¯s already early winter, and you¡¯re sitting here enjoying the sea breeze?¡± Anhao turned to look at Lin Qing.¡± I¡¯m wearing a lot of clothes. I¡¯ve only sat down for less than two minutes and you¡¯re already here.¡± Lin Qing held the file in one hand and extended his other hand.¡±¡±Come, get up. Let¡¯s talk in the car.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you already mastered the teachers and books that Mobai and I have arranged for you over the past few months? Or did he not plan to work in the office? I can see that you can come here to enjoy the sea breeze every day with your body. Then you should have no problem sitting in the office. At least you¡¯ll be pregnant for ten months. You won¡¯t have any problems for the first eight months.¡± Anhao stood up without batting an eyelid, turned around, and walked out. When she reached the car that Lin Qing had mentioned, she only paused for a moment before walking over. Anhao was now fifteen weeks pregnant. According to the medical calculation of pregnancy, she would be four months pregnant in a week. However, because she had just returned to the country, even if she tried her best to be energetic, she still could not fully adapt to her daily state. Therefore, her body had always been too thin, and she had only gained a little weight recently. If she took off her clothes, she could see the slight bulge on her stomach. However, with clothes on, especially this early winter coat, almost no one could see the curve of her stomach. No one knew that she was pregnant. After getting into the car, Lin Qing got in as well. After closing the car door, he handed the file in his hand to Anhao,¡±¡±Then, here are a few contract documents that need your signature. Mobai said that you¡¯re smart. As long as you¡¯re willing to learn, you¡¯ll learn everything quickly. You¡¯ve spent three months learning so much about business management and finance.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng will come back sooner or later. Why should I go to the company to take charge? Anyway, you guys are in the company. When he left, he had already placed you, the most trustworthy people, at the top of the company¡¯s management.¡± Anhao opened the folder and looked through the documents that required her signature. She said lightly,¡±¡± Even if he doesn¡¯t come back for half a year or even a year, the company won¡¯t lose its order. Besides, I¡¯ll be the one to sign these documents that require legal signature. It seems that before Zuo Hancheng comes back, it won¡¯t be a problem for us to continue living like this.¡± Lin Qing sighed.¡± For the past three months, you endured all kinds of uncomfortable reactions in the early stages of pregnancy every day and desperately went to learn those management knowledge. It was not to sign these few documents at home all day. Didn¡¯t you say that you wanted to help General Manager Zuo guard his company?¡± You¡¯re leaving everything to us just like that¡­¡± Anhao smiled.¡± You say that I¡¯m smart, but no matter how smart I am, I¡¯ve only learned management knowledge for three months. Compared to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s natural business acumen and his decision-making ability that has been ingrained in his world since he was young, it¡¯s not just a small matter. Do you expect a beginner in business management like me to go straight to the CEO¡¯s office without even an internship?¡± ¡°Even if you, Mobai, and the Vice President don¡¯t reject me, how will the higher-ups in the company look at me? Moreover, in their hearts, their President Zuo was temporarily unable to return to the country because of the trivialities of the Zuo family in the United States. Their President Zuo was in the original headquarters of Shengling Group in the United States and had not returned yet. What would they think if I suddenly appeared in the name of a legal person and manager?¡± ¡°Hiding it is only temporary, but the entire company will have to face this sooner or later¡­¡± ¡°Facing what?¡± Anhao suddenly looked at Lin Qing coldly,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng is not dead. What are they going to face? Let them continue to wait.¡± Lin Qing was speechless. Although Anhao looked no different from before, she was also working hard to live a healthy life because of the child in her stomach. She didn¡¯t stay up late or sleep too much. She took good care of her body and didn¡¯t let anyone worry about her. But now, Anhao¡¯s bones were also filled with an inexplicable strength and persistence. Or rather, it was an indestructible belief. No matter who mentioned Zuo Hancheng, she would always have this expression on her face. Moreover, she would say very strongly that Zuo Hancheng was still alive and that she was waiting for him to come back. The people around her were always speechless at times like this. If President Zuo was really still alive, how could he not come back to look for her now? Besides, Anhao was pregnant. It had been four months since President Zuo¡¯s accident in the United States. Anhao¡¯s stomach would become more and more obvious from now on, and her body would become heavier and heavier. However, Anhao seemed to be living in the morning sun every day. She lived well because of that belief. No one had the heart to break her belief, including Lin Qing. Chapter 881 - Chapter 881: Woaini, I Love You (7) Chapter 881: Woaini, I Love You (7) ¡°There¡¯s a very important executive meeting in the company next week. Aren¡¯t you going?¡±Lin Qing changed the topic. Anhao was looking at the contracts and documents in her hands seriously. Although she was only responsible for signing them, Zuo Hancheng had transferred everything under her name. She was the property manager of Shengling Group in name, and she shared the status of a legal person with another legal person in the company. Therefore, there were many things that Mobai and Lin Qing did not have the right to sign, but they would bring them over for her to sign. Every time Anhao signed a contract, she would read it seriously. Even if she didn¡¯t go to the office, she was very clear about the series of projects and business management in the company over the past few months. Lin Qing and Mobai were always happy to let her know everything. She looked at the contract in her hand and glanced at Lin Qing,¡±¡±Let Mobai and the Vice President attend the executive meetings. After all, Zuo Hancheng gave Mobai a lot of power back then, which is about the same as the Vice President. Even if I attend these meetings, I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be any results.¡± ¡± Anhao, although what you¡¯re doing is not a good way to stabilize the company, but if it goes on for too long¡­¡± ¡°It won¡¯t be long before Zuo Hancheng returns.¡±Anhao said softly as she picked up a pen to sign. After signing two pages, she felt that Lin Qing was still staring at her. Anhao stopped writing and said softly,¡±¡±If he still doesn¡¯t come back after the child is born¡­By then, I will have complete control over all aspects of the company¡¯s affairs. It won¡¯t be too late to go then.¡± ¡°Indeed, it takes at least a year and a half to have a child. Even after the child is born, it will take a period of recovery. Even if it is handed over to the nanny and nanny, this period will take more than a year.¡±Lin Qing said softly,¡±It¡¯s been more than a year. You should indeed be able to officially go to the company to take charge.¡±¡± Seeing that Lin Qingda was planning to let her off for now, Anhao smiled.¡±¡±Even if my morning sickness isn¡¯t that serious now, my waist feels uncomfortable after sitting for a long time every day. There¡¯s a difference in all aspects compared to when I wasn¡¯t pregnant. If I really go to the company now, I¡¯ll only cause you countless troubles.¡± As she spoke, she signed the contract documents in her hands and handed them to Lin Qing. Lin Qing took it and looked at it carefully. He realized that when Anhao signed the contract, her handwriting seemed to be imitating Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. However, no matter how much he imitated it, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handwriting was the kind that belonged to men. It was good-looking and vigorous, while Anhao¡¯s handwriting was still too elegant. The world was real, and no one was the all-powerful queen in fairy tales. A large company with a market value of tens of billions was indeed not something that a person who had only studied business management knowledge for more than three months could do. They all knew that Anhao refused to go to the CEO¡¯s office and occupy Zuo Hancheng¡¯s position. She firmly believed that President Zuo would return and sit in that place again. That was why that place did not need her now. She would wait as long as she could. Because he understood her, Mobai no longer chose to force her. Now, Lin Qing did not intend to force her either. ¡°Oh right, other than us and your friends, you don¡¯t answer any of their calls and even changed your phone number. Now, the Andersons and the Zuo family are calling the company directly to ask about your situation. Mrs. Zuo even said that she wanted to fly over to see you.¡± Faced with Lin Qing¡¯s sudden question that had nothing to do with the company, Anhao turned to look at the scenery outside the car window that was gradually fading away.¡±¡±Is it willing to tell me? Is it? I don¡¯t know how to tell you.¡±¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know much about you and the An family, Mobai only told me a few things. I only know that they seem to be your family.¡±¡±No matter what your relationship with the An family is, at least the Zuo family¡­¡± Lin Qing said. ¡± I don¡¯t know how to face the Zuo family either. I didn¡¯t tell them about my pregnancy. If I did, I¡¯m afraid that I wouldn¡¯t be the only one in the Gilt Scenic Garden. What I need to face is the constant condolences from the two big families. You know, my quiet life now is already very good. If those people who are closely related to me and Zuo Hancheng appear in front of me every day to ask about my well-being, Lin Qing¡­ I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t hold on¡­I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll collapse¡­¡± After a moment of silence, Lin Qing suddenly said softly,¡±¡±A few days ago, when I took the company¡¯s documents to Liu Jing Garden to look for you, I found a few cars parked outside. There was a middle-aged man in the car and he never got out of the car. However, those cars had been parked outside for a long time and stayed outside every day for a week. You¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t want to see him? Or does he not know that he is outside?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze paused.¡± She had never questioned Arel in detail. She only subconsciously knew that the man was her father, but she did not care about him, nor did she interact with him. Fortunately, although the legendary American underworld Taoist father was powerful and powerful, he was not very strong in this aspect of her. In fact, he chose to silently make way for her more often. This made Anhao feel more or less at ease. After all, Mr. Arel had never known that he had such a daughter for the past twenty years. Now that he knew, no matter how much he wanted to love her from a father¡¯s point of view, he knew to give each other time to accept and adapt. Besides, he and Zuo Hancheng were still so ¡®familiar¡¯. Anhao felt that her father was a gentleman just like Zuo Hancheng. He was a gentleman who could kill and kill outside, but he was willing to give in to his beloved woman and daughter. However, it had nothing to do with her whether he and Anping were destroyed by Old Master An when they were young. The MPV drove to the entrance of Liu Jing Garden. Anhao got out of the car and looked around. She didn¡¯t see the few cars that Lin Qing had mentioned that had been parked outside. When Lin Qing got out of the car, he also took a look before walking to her side and saying,¡±¡±They should have left already. I saw those cars parked outside last week.¡± ¡°China is not a place they should come to. It¡¯s good to go back early.¡±Anhao said in a low voice. She then adjusted the cashmere coat on her body and slowly walked through the main door of the Liujing Garden. Lin Qing stood outside and looked at Anhao¡¯s back view. She was wearing a snow-white cashmere coat and a red knitted scarf. Her long hair was tied up high, and she no longer looked like the 19-year-old Anhao who would jump around in front of Zuo Hancheng. However, she was still Anhao. She had already grown from a tree that was pressed by a rock into a dark and damp gap, slowly growing towards the sun, and finally growing into a towering tree. Chapter 882 - Chapter 882: Woaini, I Love You (8) Chapter 882: Woaini, I Love You (8) When she got home, Anhao picked up the computer that she used once a day. Because of her pregnancy, Lin Qing had told her to avoid touching the computer and avoid radiation. Hence, she could only touch the computer for less than half an hour every day. Just like the three of them had been doing every day for the past month, they logged into their mailbox to check if there were any new emails. She didn¡¯t use this email very often. It was a work email that she created after she started working at the government office. Now that she had finished her work, there were no new emails except for some advertising emails. She opened the email page for Mr. V, and her fair fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard. ¡°Dear Mr. V, I went to inspect the seaside villa again today. The workers have already started work. Everything is designed according to the style I like. Everything is as you wish and as I wish. I didn¡¯t have the chance to ask you before. Did you prepare that swing for me on Haitang¡¯s side of the villa?¡± After typing these words, Anhao pressed send, then closed the page and went back to all the emails that had been sent. Over the past three months, she had sent more than a hundred emails. Every day, she would tell him what happened every day as if she was chatting with him online or writing a diary. More than a hundred emails were displayed as unread, and there was no receipt. After sending them every day, it was calm, as if there was no need to even wait. Anhao even knew that this so-called Mr. V¡¯s email was just a new email that Zuo Hancheng had opened at the last minute to facilitate communication with her. It was not his usual email address. However, she still persisted in sending her a letter every day, persistently telling her what happened every day. Two months ago, she had even complained that the teacher Mobai had found for her to teach business management was too serious. He was even more cold and serious than the tutor they had found for her in the past. However, that teacher was very good. She learned everything very quickly. She was now an Anhao with all kinds of skills. She was no longer the little brat who sold wine in the bar all day to earn money, waiting for the day when she would smash the money she earned on Gu Tianming¡¯s face. Anhao smiled and took a sip of water from the warm cup on the coffee table. She continued to stare at the screen and her fingers slowly tapped on the keyboard. Suddenly, her gaze paused and she looked at the cup in her hand. She had just entered the house and had not even taken off her coat. She had not even boiled water or poured water. This water¡­ She put down her laptop and turned around to see Huang Amao sitting at the dining table looking at her with a melancholic expression. The glimmer of anticipation in Anhao¡¯s eyes instantly dimmed. As she put down the cup, she said,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t tell you the key to the Liu Jing Garden and the password lock so that you could sneak into the house every day. You¡¯re a police officer after all, what¡¯s the point of trespassing every day?¡± ¡°You still have the cheek to say that? I¡¯ve been sitting here for so long, but you didn¡¯t even see me when you entered. You sat there with your computer in a daze for half an hour. If you didn¡¯t find hot water there, you would probably be staring at that email that no one will ever reply to for the entire day.¡± Huang Amao always tried to provoke her, unlike others who would accommodate Anhao¡¯s thoughts. Anhao was used to it, so even though she was a little annoyed that no one would ever reply, she didn¡¯t get angry. She just looked at her and said,¡±Did Mobai send you here again?¡± Huang Amao raised her eyebrows, implying that she had guessed correctly. Anhao chuckled.¡± You and Mobai¡¯s underground work is really secretive. If it weren¡¯t for you coming to my place all the time, I probably wouldn¡¯t have realized that you and Mobai had a spark. I always thought that Young Master Rongqian would be your dish sooner or later. It turns out that Huang Amao likes mature and steady uncles like Mobai?¡±¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± What uncle type? Mobai is one year younger than Zuo Hancheng, and I¡¯m one year younger than you. The age difference between us is ten years. The age difference between you and Zuo Hancheng is also ten years. How did I become an uncle type when I¡¯m with Mobai?¡± Huang Amao almost bit off her tongue as soon as she finished speaking. Anhao looked at her with a malicious smile.¡±You finally admitted it.¡± Huang Amao raised his hand and gave her the middle finger.¡±¡±You win.¡± ¡± However, you guys are working underground. How long have you been working?¡± Mobai could be considered the busiest person in the company. When Zuo Hancheng was not around, he was so busy that his hair was almost white. How could you find a loophole to sneak into his side?¡± ¡°.. Actually, it hadn¡¯t been long. Yes, they had just confirmed their relationship.¡± Anhao walked over. Huang Amao thought she was going to get something, so he volunteered to help her. Anhao walked over and suddenly pinched her chest. Huang Amao immediately shouted. Before she could say anything, Anhao smiled and said,¡±¡±Mobai, this kind of high-class elite creature, actually had an affair with you. Doesn¡¯t he feel that it¡¯s not very good?¡± ¡°Gu Anhao!¡± Huang Amao was furious.¡± I¡¯ve grown out my hair now. If I eat more tofu and papaya, my breasts will turn from B to C sooner or later, okay?¡±¡± ¡°Is that a B? You¡¯re actually a B? I always thought it was an A¡­¡± Anhao turned around with a smile on her face. She ignored Huang Amao¡¯s furious expression and walked to the side to take off her coat. As she took off her coat, Huang Amao kept emphasizing whether her breasts were A or B, but Anhao smiled with her back to her. The world was changing too fast. Huang Amao¡¯s spring had come¡­ ***** In the intensive care unit of a hospital in downtown Washington, USA- Three months ago, after sending him back to A City, D, who had returned to the United States, was talking to a few people in black uniforms outside the ward. Suddenly, those people looked into the distance with shock in their eyes. D turned around and was not surprised to see Mr. Arel. Mr. Arel was a man of immense power. No matter how well they kept it a secret, Mr. Arel would find out sooner or later. He just didn¡¯t expect it to come so quickly. Mr. Arel was dressed in black. He walked in with the cold of winter and the frost on his body. Through the large glass window outside the ICU, he finally saw Zuo Hancheng, who was lying on the hospital bed with countless tubes of various colors inserted into his body. He died in the explosion that shocked the United States three months ago. Chapter 883 - Chapter 883: Still Alive (1) Chapter 883: Still Alive (1) ¡°Mr. Arel¡­¡± D respectfully nodded at the middle-aged man with a cold expression. Mr. Arel glanced coldly at D, turned around, and walked to the protective window. He looked at the people inside who were surrounded by all kinds of medical equipment. ¡°It¡¯s been so long, and you¡¯re still not awake?¡± Seeing that Mr. Arel didn¡¯t seem to want to pursue the matter further, D saw that the truth had already been discovered, so he walked behind him and said calmly,¡±¡±In the four months of treatment, Mr. Zuo only woke up three times, and each time, it didn¡¯t last more than five minutes.¡± Mr. Arel paused and continued to look at the person who seemed to be sleeping soundly. He said calmly,¡±¡±What¡¯s going on? My daughter is still suffering in China, but Vllen is still alive and has been hiding it from my daughter. Is this your decision?¡± ¡°No, this is Mister Zuo¡¯s idea.¡±¡± Mr. Zuo was already severely injured in the explosion,¡± D said respectfully.¡± If it weren¡¯t for the injuries on his body that prevented him from driving the car away, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t have been so seriously injured.¡± ¡± At that time, Gu Shishi¡¯s accomplices didn¡¯t really intend to die together. They left a way out and parked a car with perfect fire and bulletproof functions in a hidden place behind the farm. Mr. Zuo managed to find the car before the explosion, so he barely survived. When our people sent a helicopter to rush over, it was already more than an hour later. The smoke and black fog at the explosion point were too large, and there were all kinds of possibilities of a second explosion. Therefore, it delayed the time to save Mr. Zuo from the fire. No matter how perfect the safety equipment of the car was, it was still in the fire for more than an hour¡­That was when we successfully rescued him. At that time, the car was almost burned down. Mr. Zuo was really¡­ It was almost incurable¡­At that time, we were all in despair¡­¡± Mr. Arel narrowed his eyes coldly. To be able to come out alive from that explosion accident and not be blown to pieces was indeed a miracle that no one could have imagined. ¡± After we brought Mr. Zuo back, we tried our best to save him. However, in the first half of the month, Mr. Zuo¡¯s heartbeat and breathing were very weak, sometimes even non-existent. The doctors were on the verge of giving up several times, but Mr. Zuo kept his last breath when he was almost declared invalid. We refused to give up. In these few months, it was fortunate that Mr. Zuo persisted. It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t completely escaped from the critical period until now¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Zuo woke up once a month and a half after he was treated. At that time, he only opened his eyes for more than a minute. We were sure that he could recognize us. His brain, thoughts, and memories were not damaged by the irresistible shock of the accident. However, he was too weak at that time. He only looked at us and fell asleep again.¡± ¡°When Mr. Zuo woke up for the second time, the doctor did a checkup based on his physical condition. At that time, all of Mr. Zuo¡¯s injuries had gradually healed, but his internal organs and the danger of suffocation in the thick smoke caused his body to be unable to withstand it. He could not speak at all, and only a few minutes later, he fell asleep again.¡± ¡°The third time I woke up¡­It was the third month after he was treated. At that time, he could open his eyes and barely make some sounds, but because of the thick smoke, his voice was very hoarse and it was very difficult for him to speak. However, I was sure that he could communicate with me for a short time, so when I went in, I asked him directly if I should tell Anhao that he was still alive.¡± ¡°When he heard Anhao¡¯s name, Mr. Zuo didn¡¯t move for a while until I asked him again. His voice was so soft that I couldn¡¯t hear him clearly, but he shook his head and said ¡®no¡¯.¡± Mr. Arel frowned.¡±¡±Vllen is really ruthless to herself and my daughter.¡± ¡± Mr. Zuo knows that his awakening is only temporary. He can¡¯t be sure if he can really live on. He should know that after so long, Anhao has gradually recovered from the pain. He can¡¯t let her experience the pain a second time, so¡­¡± D¡¯s voice paused for a moment before he said,¡± Mr. Arel, please don¡¯t tell Mrs. Zuo about this. This is Mr. Zuo¡¯s idea. We respect his choice. I believe that even if he has to survive countless times, he still remembers Mrs. Zuo and doesn¡¯t want her to suffer anymore.¡± ¡°My daughter is in a lot of pain right now.¡±Mr. Arel¡¯s voice was cold.¡±Since he¡¯s been holding on for four months, even if he¡¯s not out of danger yet, Vllen is so lucky to be able to survive. I reckon he won¡¯t die in the end. I¡¯ll mobilize the best internal medicine and surgery doctors in the United States.¡± D was speechless for a long time before he bowed respectfully to Mr. Arel. Mr. Arel looked coldly at the unconscious person in the ward and said in a cold voice,¡±¡±After nearly 24 years, I finally saw my daughter. For my daughter¡¯s sake, I want to take Vllen¡¯s life back. He must live on, live well, and return to my daughter healthy.¡± Arel suddenly thought of something and looked at D.¡±¡±Did you tell Vllen that my daughter is pregnant?¡± D nodded.¡± Yes, I did. I¡¯m afraid that if it wasn¡¯t for this piece of news that kept him going, Mr. Zuo might not have been able to hold on until now.¡± Mr. Arel didn¡¯t say anything else. He just looked at the person in the ward for a long time. He thought of Anhao, whom he had seen in Liu Jing Garden when he went to A City in China a few days ago. His daughter came out for a morning run under the warm winter sun. She ran very slowly, but she was trying her best to do very little exercise for the sake of her and her child¡¯s health. Her face was red from the cold air, and she looked very much like the young An Ping. His daughter should have a smile on her face, not the calm that seemed like death every day, nor should she pretend to be strong in front of everyone every day. His cold gaze swept across the ward. Vllen, my daughter needs you. Your life and your health will be the greatest gift I can give to my daughter. ¡°At the time of the explosion, did anyone else on the farm survive?¡±Mr. Arel asked coldly. ¡°No, other than Mr. Zuo, those people are really dead. If it wasn¡¯t for Mr. Zuo finding that car in time¡­¡± D couldn¡¯t continue, but no matter what, this was already the best situation. ¡°I understand.¡± Mr. Arel said calmly, then glanced at the people in the ward. Before he left, he said coldly,¡±When Vllen wakes up again, tell him that my daughter is waiting for him. My daughter has always believed that he is not dead. Don¡¯t let my daughter wait too long.¡± Chapter 884 - Chapter 884: Still Alive (2) Chapter 884: Still Alive (2) Zuo Hancheng appeared in front of her, covered in blood. There was a fire burning behind him. Every step he took toward her seemed to have used up all his strength. Anhao was crying. She could hear herself crying desperately. She didn¡¯t care about anything else and just wanted to rush over and hug him, even though he was already surrounded by a sea of fire. When she rushed into the sea of fire, everything suddenly turned into chaos. There was no fire, no Zuo Hancheng. She was locked in a terrifying, dark world. She could not hear or speak. It was very dark, and she was alone. She could vaguely feel someone walking towards her. She turned around in a daze and saw Zuo Hancheng standing behind her. His eyes were gentle and filled with longing for her. He was talking, but she could not hear him. She could only see him calling her name from his lips. Good, good¡­ .. The night was as cold as water. Anhao struggled to sit up from the bed. She knew that it was a dream. She dreamed of him again. She dreamed of Zuo Hancheng standing in the sea of fire and herself standing in the darkness and loneliness. It was early winter, and it would take a few more days for the city to have a unified heating system. The cold in the room instantly forced back the cold sweat on her body. Anhao hugged the blanket tightly and curled up in the corner of the bed, staring blankly at the snowflakes outside the window. The first snow of the year in A City came quietly. She returned to A City from Boston in May this year. It was now November. From early summer to early winter. He had actually been back for half a year. However, what she had experienced in the past six months had almost consumed half of her life¡¯s strength. Anhao couldn¡¯t fall asleep. Every time she dreamed of Zuo Hancheng, she couldn¡¯t fall asleep. She got up, put on a set of thick pajamas, and walked out of the bedroom. When she opened the bedroom door, the lights in the living room were bright. Ever since she came back to stay, the lights in the hall would always be on. It had been a few months, but the lights in the rooms of the Gilt Scenery Garden were always on. It was as if they were waiting for someone who had left home for a long time to return. When he returned, the house would not be dark. Huang Amao had something to do tonight, so he didn¡¯t stay to accompany her. Besides, Anhao had been mentally guiding herself for the past few months, so she would be fine even if she was alone at home. She went to pour herself a cup of hot water and held it to keep warm. She turned around and walked back to the sofa. She picked up the computer and turned it on. When the screen was completely lit up, she opened her email as she had done every day for the past few months and continued to read the emails from the past. Every word he typed with Mr. V¡¯s signature seemed to be a memory she treasured. It was as if if if it weren¡¯t for this, she wouldn¡¯t be able to find traces of his existence. Those words were jumping in front of her, proving that Zuo Hancheng had really appeared in her life. Zuo Hancheng had said that he would give her another 50,000 yuan if she could solve the password in his office. Anhao had almost exploded at that time. Now that she thought about it, he was looking down on her intelligence. She had been scratching her ears and cheeks for such a long time, but she had never thought of such a simple elementary school question that was a combination of English Pinyin and numbers. Anhao held the laptop and looked at it. She felt angry and amused at the same time. How would she know that Mr. V was Zuo Hancheng? If she had known that they were the same person, she would have guessed it long ago. She had never thought about this at all. She had always thought that the answer to the question was some professional term, but in the end, she was still despised by him. As she laughed, she took a sip of hot water to warm up her cold body. She stroked her stomach with one hand and gently typed on the computer keyboard with the other. It was a little strenuous to type with one hand, but he still managed to type out a few words. ¡°Dear Mr. V, I dreamed of you again. I dreamed that you were smiling at me. I dreamed that I was standing in a sea of flowers in a wedding dress waiting for you. I dreamed that you were walking towards me. You still owe me a wedding and wedding photos. I¡¯ve been thinking about that seaside outfit. Mr. V, when are you coming back¡­¡± She turned the sea of fire into a sea of flowers, and the darkness and loneliness into a wedding dress. She wouldn¡¯t tell him about her unhappiness. Even if these were really emails sent to heaven, even if he would never live to open his email and see her nagging every day, he might be able to see it from heaven. She couldn¡¯t let him feel that she was too weak. She couldn¡¯t let him know that she looked like a normal person during the day, but she couldn¡¯t sleep every night. She seemed to know why Zuo Hancheng couldn¡¯t sleep during the three years she was away, and why he didn¡¯t return to the Liu Jing Garden. When it was quiet, she felt like he was in every corner of the house. He was talking to her, he was smiling at her, he was walking towards her, he was taking off his clothes, he was taking a shower, he was eating, he was reading a magazine¡­ He had always existed in this house. She looked at every corner and wanted to talk to him, but when she opened her mouth, she quietly withdrew her gaze. She only placed her hand on her stomach and felt the little life that had always been quietly in her stomach. Her hand was placed on her belly. For some reason, the little thing in her belly seemed to feel her mother touching her and suddenly moved. Anhao also looked down at her slightly bulging stomach when she felt the weak movement in her stomach. Her hand was still on it, and she continued to stroke it gently with curiosity and disbelief. The little thing moved again after a long time, but it was very weak and not strong. Anhao, on the other hand, put down her laptop and stood up excitedly. She walked back and forth in the room while rubbing her stomach with her hand. She felt the fetus move! She finally felt the fetus move! According to some pregnancy knowledge, fetal movement could be felt from the fourteenth to the eighteenth week under normal circumstances. However, there was no movement in her stomach, and the child was obedient and never disturbed her. As a result, Anhao had gone to the hospital for two prenatal checkups this month. The doctor even said that she was too nervous and that her child was very healthy. Anhao paced back and forth in the room, laughing as she walked. She placed her hand on her stomach and lowered her head to her stomach, saying softly,¡±¡±Little Calabash Brother, be good and grow up healthily in Mommy¡¯s stomach. Let¡¯s wait for Daddy to come back together, okay?¡± He didn¡¯t know if it was really a reaction, but the little thing in his stomach that had only recently been able to move a little moved again. Anhao almost burst into tears. She smiled with tears in her eyes. This was the first time she smiled from the bottom of her heart since she came back from America. Chapter 885 - Chapter 885: Still Alive (3) Chapter 885: Still Alive (3) On the 21st week of Anhao¡¯s pregnancy, she went to the hospital for a checkup. It was a four-dimensional ultrasound ultrasound ultrasound scan scan. It was said that her stomach was almost fully formed, and she could see his small face, arms, and calves. She didn¡¯t care if the baby was a boy or a girl. She only cared if the baby was healthy. She laid on the bed and let the doctor apply the cold couplant on her stomach. He used the instrument to move her bulging belly back and forth. As he moved, he pointed at the big screen on the wall and said,¡±Look, this is the baby¡¯s leg. Yo, this is the baby¡¯s little butt¡­This is the baby¡¯s arm. Aiya, this child is quite shy. He hasn¡¯t shown us his face¡­¡± Anhao looked at the yellow thing on the big screen with curiosity. She didn¡¯t really understand it, but she saw a small thing gently twisting in the dim and yellow influence. Only then did she know that it was the little life living in her stomach. ¡°Mrs. Zuo, the baby in your stomach is quite stubborn. I poked his stomach so hard to make him turn over, but he didn¡¯t even turn around. He only used his butt to face us. We can¡¯t even see his face¡­¡± The doctor continued to examine her while teasing her. Anhao smiled and said,¡±It¡¯s okay if you can¡¯t see your face. It¡¯s good to see your butt too¡­¡± The doctor was instantly amused by her.¡± That¡¯s true. Anyway, no matter if this child looks like you or President Zuo, he will definitely be equally good-looking. Sigh, speaking of which, I haven¡¯t seen President Zuo for a long time. Every time you go for a prenatal checkup, you come alone, or your police friend will accompany you. Is President Zuo still overseas and not back yet?¡± The doctor heard the same rumors as the employees in the company. They all agreed that Zuo Hancheng was temporarily unable to return to the country because of the Zuo family¡¯s matter in the United States. Anhao nodded quietly. The doctor wiped the couplant off her stomach with a piece of paper and said,¡±¡±Sigh, when you see the baby for the first time, you should let the child¡¯s father come with you. After all, this is the first time parents and children meet.¡± After wiping it clean, Anhao sat up and took a piece of tissue to wipe the remaining parts on both sides of her stomach. Then, she continued to look at the picture of the little darling that had been frozen on the screen. She was lost in her thoughts when a young doctor beside the doctor suddenly said,¡±The baby in Mrs. Zuo¡¯s stomach has long legs. Whether it¡¯s a boy or a girl, his figure will definitely not be bad when he grows up!¡± Anhao lowered her head and looked at her legs. He was over 1.6 meters tall and was quite well-proportioned. His legs were very straight, but they could not be considered long legs. Zuo Hancheng, who was about 1.8 meters tall and close to 1.9 meters tall, was the one with the most long legs. Usually, when he wore a shirt and trousers, the trousers wrapped around his tall and straight legs. That typical abstinence look of his made people¡¯s hearts flutter when they thought about it. Therefore, the child¡¯s figure must have taken after his father¡¯s¡­ A subtle sense of happiness grew in the bottom of her heart. Anhao smiled and took the ultrasound report, turned around, and walked out. Because her stomach was already five months old, her body was already a little heavy. She could no longer maintain her morning run every day, so every day after she got up, she would put on a thick coat, a scarf, a hat, and gloves to cover herself up and go out for a walk. It was said that a natural birth was good for the baby, but she did not know what it was. Anyway, it was natural for her. However, it was better not to operate on her stomach. However, according to the legends, a natural birth was as painful as breaking twenty ribs. Thinking about it, she felt that she should continue to exercise so that she could maintain her strength when giving birth. As she thought about it, she walked even faster. When she was about three kilometers away from Liujing Garden, she bought a cup of hot soy milk from a breakfast shop and walked back. Suddenly, a car stopped beside her. Anhao didn¡¯t pay much attention to it and was just drinking soy milk through a straw as she walked back. She was still thinking about how Lin Qing and Mobai had asked her to go to the company yesterday. Although she had been signing some documents behind her back for the past few months and had not shown up at the company, she indeed had to attend some meetings in the company today. Of course, they would not reveal her identity as the real person in charge of the company and only let her attend as a participant. However, she had to be present to supervise the operation during some meetings. She was still thinking about what she should wear to the office tomorrow. It seemed that no matter what she wore, her stomach would be discovered. There was nothing to hide about her pregnancy, but now she instinctively wanted to protect the baby in her stomach. She did not want to be pointed at by others, nor did she want to hear others ask her again and again. Her stomach was so obvious, where did the child¡¯s father go? A person got out of the car that had just stopped. Anhao heard the sound of the car door slamming and turned around subconsciously. She saw Yi Zeyang, who was wearing a tailored suit, walking towards her. She glanced at Yi Zeyang, then at the Land Rover parked by the roadside. When he walked up to her, she smiled and took the initiative to greet him,¡±¡±Long time no see. Did you change cars?¡± Yi Zeyang looked at the way she wrapped herself up like a bean bun, then looked at her hand that was holding the soy milk cup. After a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his hand and held her wrist.¡±Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Anhao was stunned.¡± In the end, Yi Zeyang pulled her to the side of the car and pushed her in. Anhao¡¯s body was not as nimble as it used to be. Besides, she did not have much of a guard up in front of Yi Zeyang, so she did not push him away. It was only when he drove all the way to a 24-hour breakfast shop near the Liu Jing Garden that she stopped the car and turned to look at her.¡±You only drank this cup of soybean milk for breakfast?¡± Anhao paused and looked at the soy milk in her hand.¡±¡±When I don¡¯t have an appetite, I only drink a cup of soy milk. When I have a good appetite, I will eat some breakfast¡­¡± Hearing this answer, Yi Zeyang was satisfied. He signaled her to get out of the car with his eyes.¡±Then you should have only drunk one cup today. Can you eat anything else now?¡± Anhao looked at him for a while and nodded hesitantly.¡±¡±I can still eat a little.¡± ¡°Then get out of the car and have breakfast with me.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. She had woken up in the morning to take a walk and was suddenly caught by Yi Zeyang. He even shamelessly asked her to have breakfast with him and did not even give her a chance to reject him. In the end, Anhao followed Yi Zeyang into the breakfast shop. After finding a table by the window, Yi Zeyang called the waiter over to order some food. It wasn¡¯t much, but most of it was to Anhao¡¯s liking. However, he avoided seafood and other food. Clearly, he knew about her pregnancy. Chapter 886 - Chapter 886: Still Alive (4) Chapter 886: Still Alive (4) The two of them didn¡¯t say anything during breakfast. Anhao didn¡¯t ask him why he was here or how he was doing. After all, he had not seen him since he left Henghai City. However, Zuo Hancheng did not take the time to do anything to Yi Group. Perhaps Yi Zeyang had been able to stand up under the silent suppression of Shengling Group. At least Zuo Hancheng did not continue to pressure him. Yi Zeyang did not look down and out. Instead, he was still dressed in a suit and looked like a social elite. After Anhao ate a few dumplings and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, Yi Zeyang was also eating. When he saw that Anhao seemed to be unable to eat anymore and was drinking water while looking at him, he put down his chopsticks and smiled,¡±¡±How have you been recently? I haven¡¯t come to see you since I heard that you¡¯ve returned to the country. I had to go to the airport to pick up a few important clients from abroad this morning. I didn¡¯t expect to see you suddenly when I passed by.¡± ¡°Since you were going to pick someone up, why did you suddenly stop to treat me to breakfast?¡± Yi Zeyang smiled.¡± It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll just give my assistant a call to pick it up. I didn¡¯t have anything to do today and planned to pick it up myself, but now I have something to do.¡±¡± It was easy for her to hear the hidden meaning in his words. She smiled and did not reply. She only took another sip of water. ¡°Do you already know your background?¡±Yi Zeyang suddenly said. Anhao paused for a moment and turned to look at him. She didn¡¯t answer but asked,¡±¡±You know about it too?¡± ¡± When I first went to the US to investigate, I didn¡¯t have as many connections as Zuo Hancheng. I only managed to find out about the An family, but I couldn¡¯t find out more.¡±¡± But looking at the changes in you,¡± Yi Zeyang said softly,¡± you must have met the An family. How was it? Did you get the reason?¡± Why did Auntie Anping send you to the Gu family back then?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t ask, and I didn¡¯t want to ask. It¡¯s enough to know my background. I¡¯m tired of hearing those reasons.¡±Anhao seemed to be holding the glass of water casually as she said with a smile,¡±¡± Whatever the reason is, it must be because they have no choice. Rather than explaining, it¡¯s more like they want to apologize to me. But I don¡¯t want to hear anyone apologize to me now. The trajectory of my growth has already been like this. If Zuo Hancheng hadn¡¯t appeared in time and corrected me, I might not have been able to live like this. So, what¡¯s the use of them apologizing to me? The elders had their helplessness and their past, but I also had my own innocence. I was an independent person, not someone who could be sent to wherever I wanted. Besides, there were some things in the past that I didn¡¯t want to deliberately think about anymore.¡± Yi Zeyang looked at her for a long time.¡± Is Zuo Hancheng really unable to return to A City because of the Zuo family¡¯s matters, or¡­¡± What happened?¡± Anhao paused for a moment and looked at him with her bright eyes. After looking at him for a while, she did not choose to hide anything from Yi Zeyang. No matter what, the person in front of her was the person who had been her guiding light when she was young, even though they had separated in such a hurry. ¡°Do you know about the explosion in New York five months ago?¡±Anhao said. Yi Zeyang didn¡¯t say anything more. He just looked at her and nodded slowly. However, it seemed like he didn¡¯t need to ask any more questions. He already knew the answer. Anhao didn¡¯t continue to say too much. After she took another sip of water, she said softly,¡±¡±He will come back. I believe that he will definitely come back.¡± ¡°If he doesn¡¯t come back, what are you going to do? You¡¯re pregnant now. If I hadn¡¯t asked Mobai about this the last time I saw him, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t have known about your situation after you came back.¡± Anhao did not answer. She had never thought about what she would do if Zuo Hancheng never came back. It was as if her instinct had always been to wait endlessly. When he returned, he would return one day¡­ Suddenly, Yi Zeyang raised his hand and placed it on her hand. Anhao paused for a moment and did not avoid it, but her eyes clearly understood what he meant. Without waiting for him to speak, she said,¡±¡±Brother Zeyang, do you think that when people are young, there will always be someone they like during the budding period of their youth? However, when they grow up, they realize that it¡¯s just the throbbing of their youth and not for a lifetime.¡± Yi Zeyang chuckled.¡± Anhao, don¡¯t be nervous. I don¡¯t have any other thoughts. I¡¯m just worried about your current situation. I know how much you love Zuo Hancheng.¡± I just want to tell you that if Zuo Hancheng doesn¡¯t come back, I can take care of you. You can look for me if you need anything.¡± Anhao looked up at him.¡± ¡°Qi Weiran and I are divorced. The last time you saw us at Heng Hai City, we got divorced less than half a month later.¡± ¡°..¡± ¡± It was a peaceful divorce without any disputes. Even though the Qi family is in decline now, they still have their dignity. Even though they ended up in a divorce, they didn¡¯t cause any trouble. It¡¯s just that Weiran hugged me and cried. Unfortunately, there¡¯s no way to salvage it. I tried to continue this marriage before, but unfortunately, I didn¡¯t succeed in the end. So, it¡¯s better to divorce and let each of us live our own lives.¡± Anhao suddenly pulled her hand away from his hand, but at the same time, she placed it on the back of his hand and held it back.¡±¡± Even if you¡¯re divorced, you don¡¯t have to take care of me. You¡¯re the CEO of the Yi Group. There are so many girls lining up to marry you. Why are you wasting time with a pregnant woman like me?¡± Yi Zeyang looked at her with a smile across the dining table. He raised his hand and stroked her hair out of habit. He understood her rejection and did not force her anymore. ***** The next day. When Anhao went to Shengling Group, she was no longer dressed as thickly as she usually did, nor was she wrapped up like a bean bun. She only wore a loose and warm wool coat and a hat of the same color to go to the company. When Lin Qing saw her get out of the car, he couldn¡¯t help but laugh and say,¡±¡± Don¡¯t say that our Anhao is really like a female elite now¡­¡± Anhao immediately gave Lin Qing a look, meaning that she was not allowed to laugh. The meeting went very smoothly. Because they had to take care of Anhao¡¯s health, Mobai and Lin Qing asked Anhao to return to the CEO¡¯s office to rest after the general process was over. They said that they would go to the office to negotiate with her after everything was over. This was the first time Anhao had walked into the president¡¯s office after returning to the country. The office was the same as when she had left. There were no changes, and it was so clean that it seemed like someone came in and cleaned it every day. After looking around, she quickly put away her memories. This was the company, and she did not want others to see her emotions. She walked to the desk and sat down where Zuo Hancheng had sat before. Then, she stared at the screens in the office and wondered if he had used this computer in the office to log into Mr. V¡¯s email. She turned on her computer and searched for Mr. V¡¯s email history, but there was no sign of Mr. V¡¯s email login. After hesitating for a moment, she logged into her email with a sense of loss. She looked at it casually and was about to close it when she was suddenly stunned. She raised her head again to look at the emails that had been sent. Some of them showed the status of- Already read? Chapter 887 - Chapter 887: It’s Mr. Zuo (1) Chapter 887: It¡¯s Mr. Zuo (1) Mobai and Lin Qing walked into the CEO¡¯s office and saw Anhao¡¯s different expression. Lin Qing glanced at Mobai, and Mobai also looked at the hidden emotions in Anhao¡¯s eyes in confusion. ¡°Anhao, are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°Who else knows Mr. V¡¯s email password?¡±Anhao suddenly asked. ¡°What email password?¡± Mobai was surprised.¡± Anhao tried her best to calm herself down. Her gaze moved away from the few letters on the screen and stared at the astonishment in Mobai¡¯s eyes.¡±Mr. V¡¯s email address that Zuo Hancheng used also has a password. Do you know?¡± Mobai finally understood what she meant.¡±¡±No, other than President Zuo, no one else knows. President Zuo was a very private person. Moreover, Mr. V¡¯s email address was specially used to contact you. It was not a work email address, so other than Mr. Zuo, no one else would know.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand immediately gripped the mouse on the desk tightly and turned her head to look at the screen. Out of the hundred or so emails that had been sent, a few of them were read. Although there were only four or five of them, it still caused a huge stir in Anhao¡¯s almost dead heart. ¡°Anhao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Mobai and Lin Qing walked over. When they got closer, they realized that Anhao¡¯s eyes were a little red. However, she was trying her best to control her emotions, which made them a little worried. Anhao stared at the screen and said with a smile,¡±¡±He is still alive¡­¡± She had already repeated this sentence a hundred times, but Anhao had been very calm and restrained her emotions ever since she came to the company today. Why did she suddenly say this sentence again when she was sitting in President Zuo¡¯s office? Lin Qing walked around the desk and was about to walk to Anhao¡¯s side, but he saw the email on the computer screen after he walked around the desk. Lin Qing didn¡¯t understand it, but he still placed his hand on Anhao¡¯s shoulder,¡±¡±Anhao, if you¡¯re not feeling well or you¡¯re not emotionally ready, then don¡¯t attend the meeting in the afternoon. We¡¯ll send a driver to send you back to rest.¡± ¡°I said that Zuo Hancheng is not dead!¡± Anhao suddenly turned to look at Lin Qing with reddened eyes. Her eyes were filled with determination,¡±¡±He didn¡¯t die. He read the email I sent him! He saw it, he really saw it! He¡¯s still alive. He must be alive somewhere in this world that I don¡¯t know about! He saw me sending an email!¡± Lin Qing was stunned for a moment and looked up at the email displayed on the screen. When Mobai heard Anhao¡¯s words, he had already rushed over to look at the computer screen. ¡°I¡¯ve been sending emails to Mr. V¡¯s email address every day¡­¡± Anhao said concisely as she stood up. Her subordinate was looking for her phone anxiously.¡±Where¡¯s my phone? Where is my phone? I¡¯m going to call D and ask him clearly. Zuo Hancheng is not dead. He must still be alive¡­D must know!¡± Mobai looked at the emails for a long time without saying a word. He just looked up at Anhao, who was anxiously picking up her phone and was in a state of excitement when she swiped the screen. Lin Qing looked at Mobai questioningly. Mobai didn¡¯t say anything but nodded at Lin Qing. Lin Qing was shocked. What did Mobai mean by that? Does that mean President Zuo is really still alive? ¡°Anhao, calm down first.¡± Mobai turned around and walked towards Anhao. He reached out and held her hand that was holding the phone.¡±Listen to me. It¡¯s just an email. Don¡¯t get too worked up. I¡¯ll contact D later, but you can¡¯t get too worked up. You¡¯re pregnant, so you have to be calm. Don¡¯t forget what the doctor told you. You were injured before you got pregnant, so your physical fitness isn¡¯t very good.¡± Anhao held onto her phone tightly and refused to let him snatch it away. She was determined to call D. Mobai frowned and suddenly reached out to snatch the phone from her hand and placed it on the desk. Anhao was stunned, not understanding Mobai¡¯s actions. She looked at him in shock,¡±¡±Mo¡­¡± ¡± Anhao, the internet environment is so chaotic now, and there¡¯s a possibility of someone hacking your account at any time. Besides, Mr. V¡¯s email hasn¡¯t been logged in for hundreds of years, so it¡¯s easy for the system to treat it as a zombie account, or it might have been hacked by someone else. You can¡¯t be sure that President Zuo is still alive just because of this. Besides, if he¡¯s still alive, if he wants to let you know, if he wants to see you, he will reply to you or come back to look for you. But those are just a few emails that have been read, and you¡¯re already so excited? What are you doing? Haven¡¯t you calmed down already?¡± Lin Qing was a little stunned as he watched from the side. Mobai¡¯s expression just now was clearly telling her that President Zuo was really still alive. But why didn¡¯t he tell Anhao? Why did he hide this information? Anhao looked at him stiffly and gradually calmed down. However, her voice was a little dry as she said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that no one else knows his email address¡­¡± Mobai looked at her with heartache, but he didn¡¯t explain further. He just turned around and logged out of Anhao¡¯s mailbox, not letting those emails show up in front of her. Looking at her lonely expression, he suddenly began to hate himself for being so cruel. However, it was not the right time yet. President Zuo¡¯s physical condition¡­ It wasn¡¯t the time yet. If Anhao knew that she was pregnant and had to fly to the United States, her body and mental state wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand such intense emotional ups and downs. Moreover, President Zuo could not hug her and comfort her now¡­ She had finally calmed down. Once she knew President Zuo¡¯s current situation, she would probably go crazy and look for him like a madman. ¡°Anhao, I hope you can calm down.¡±Mobai looked at the way she stood in the office and her expression. He suppressed the strong heartache in his heart and said softly,¡±¡±I think that if President Zuo is really alive, he will want to return to you in his healthiest and most reassuring appearance. If you want to wait, just wait with peace of mind. Don¡¯t be agitated, and don¡¯t look around for these things that are separated by the Internet regardless of your physical condition.¡± Anhao understood Mobai¡¯s words, but she didn¡¯t seem to understand them. She suddenly turned to look at Mobai.¡± Mobai didn¡¯t say anything and just looked at her. ¡°Ever since I came back, D handed me over to you. You seemed to not ask anything, but you also seemed to know everything. Every time you spoke, you would only say half of it, stopping when you reached the end. However, every time I was in despair, you would give me hope, and when I had hope, you would make me despair. Mobai, are you playing with me?¡± Mobai didn¡¯t say anything, but Lin Qing saw that Anhao was really angry and even raised her voice by a few decibels. He quickly walked to her side and said,¡±¡± Anhao, Mobai is doing this for your own good. Don¡¯t¡­¡± Chapter 888 - Chapter 888: It’s Mr. Zuo (2) Chapter 888: It¡¯s Mr. Zuo (2) ¡°For my good? For my own good, you hid Zuo Hancheng¡¯s matter? Was he dead or alive? Mobai, do you think I¡¯m still the same Gu An who believed everything you said back then?!¡±Anhao stared at Mobai, her hands already forming into fists, her nails digging into her palms. ¡°You all know that my aimless waiting without coming to the company is actually a kind of waiting without an end. It¡¯s okay to drag it out for a year, but if he never comes back, it¡¯s impossible to wait forever. But you let me go. You allowed me to wait. Mobai, you¡¯re not a perfect liar.¡± Mobai slowly closed his eyes. Lin Qing, send Anhao back.¡± Mobai turned around and walked out of the office. Anhao was about to chase after him, but Lin Qing quickly pulled her back,¡±¡± Anhao, Mobai has been with President Zuo for so many years. After President Zuo¡¯s accident, his pain was no less than yours. He also hoped that President Zuo would come back one day. You have to believe in Mobai. You have to believe in him like you believe in President Zuo. If Mobai hadn¡¯t been supporting everything for so long, the company might not have been able to operate as usual. As for President Zuo, we all believe that he will come back just like you. We also hope that he will come back¡­¡± Anhao suddenly turned around and thought to herself,¡±You¡¯ve also seen the emails that have been read, haven¡¯t you?¡± You also believe that Zuo Hancheng is still alive, don¡¯t you? That was not hacking at all! He was still alive! He¡¯s still alive!¡± Lin Qing didn¡¯t say anything, but he hugged Anhao tightly with red eyes. When Anhao cried and squatted down, Lin Qing also squatted down and hugged her tightly,¡±¡±Anhao, let¡¯s wait together, okay? We¡¯ll wait with you¡­¡± .. Mobai walked out of the company with a dark expression. When he was alone, he took a deep breath and took out his phone to call someone in the United States. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The person who answered the phone was D. ¡°What happened?¡± Mobai asked coldly. Who logged into President Zuo¡¯s email?¡± After a moment of silence, D replied,¡±¡±It¡¯s Mister Zuo himself.¡± Mobobai was stunned for a moment.¡± CEO Zuo is awake?¡± ¡± He woke up, but he fell asleep again. Although his condition is much better than last month, he still wakes up intermittently. After all, it¡¯s already very difficult to drag him out of the gates of hell. Now, President Zuo can wake up occasionally twice a day, but he doesn¡¯t say anything. Moreover, we can see through those medical devices that his physical condition is still very dangerous. He has already persisted for five months, but we¡¯re afraid that he won¡¯t be able to hold on, so we tried our best to tell him about Anhao. Tell him everything he cares about, including¡­¡± ¡°We put the computer on his bed so that Mr. Zuo can see what he wants to care about in the few minutes or even ten minutes he wakes up every day.¡±At this point, D paused for a moment before saying,¡±Two hours ago, President Zuo logged into an email. We¡¯re not sure what he saw, but he kept looking at the screen. His eyes never left the screen¡­However, his mental state was very poor. He only watched for ten minutes before falling asleep¡­¡± Mobai took a deep breath. The cold air was sucked into his lungs, and only then did his emotions calm down. No wonder there were only four or five read emails. In ten minutes, he could probably only read a few. Mobai suddenly smiled in relief. Anhao¡¯s sixth sense was still accurate. A woman¡¯s intuition was indeed terrifying. Although women were sensitive, Anhao¡¯s sensitive spot was not wrong. President Zuo had indeed read her email¡­ However, it seemed that he could not tell Anhao about President Zuo¡¯s current condition as described by D. If President Zuo still could not make it through after more than five months of intensive treatment, Anhao would suffer even greater grief. Mobai suddenly thought of something and said,¡±¡±A few days ago, Anhao sent Lin Qing and me a picture of her four-dimensional ultrasound when she went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. I¡¯ll send the picture to you later. When President Zuo wakes up again, show it to him.¡± .. In the office, Anhao logged into her mailbox and looked at the few emails that she had read. However, her gaze was a little lost as she looked at the gray dot behind Mr. V. It did not show that he was online, but she wanted to talk to him. She wanted to ask if he was Zuo Hancheng and if he was there¡­ Her hands were on the keyboard for a long time, but she couldn¡¯t type a word. What if it really wasn¡¯t Zuo Hancheng? What if the other party suddenly appeared online and told her that he was not the original owner of this email address? Anhao¡¯s hand lingered on the keyboard for a long time before she suddenly closed her email and sat behind her desk without moving. When Lin Qing saw her like this, he knew that President Zuo didn¡¯t seem to be dead. However, she couldn¡¯t understand Mobai¡¯s attitude just now. She knew that Mobai had always acted appropriately and was indeed thinking about Anhao, so she didn¡¯t dare to say anything. However, when she saw Anhao like this, her heart still ached. It was only when Mobai came back from outside that Anhao raised her head to look at him. She saw Mobai holding a stick of candied haws in his hand. He looked at Anhao, who had a quiet expression, with an uneasy expression. When he walked over, he handed the stick over. Anhao turned to look at him, her eyes filled with confusion. Lin Qing also looked at him strangely, not knowing what he was doing. ¡°Ahem.¡± Mobai coughed awkwardly. After all, Anhao was President Zuo¡¯s wife, and he was an outsider. He didn¡¯t know how to coax her. He had just called someone for help and found out that Anhao liked to eat sour food recently. When he came back, he bought a candied haws to coax Anhao. After all, President Zuo was still alive, so he couldn¡¯t let Anhao be so sad every day. But when he saw Anhao¡¯s expression, Mobai really didn¡¯t know how to continue this topic. Only God knew how much he wanted to tell Anhao that President Zuo was still alive and that he had indeed read those emails. However, he endured it and still handed over the thing in his hand with an uneasy expression.¡±I¡¯m sorry, it was my attitude that was wrong just now. Mao Mao said that you like to eat sour food recently, so I bought this¡­I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s to your liking.¡± Mao Mao? Lin Qing¡¯s mouth twitched. It seemed like Mobai had asked Anhao¡¯s best friend for help before he came back. Anhao also looked at him with an inexplicable expression. She stared at the candied haws and asked,¡±¡±Does Huang Amao know that you¡¯re a man who lies?¡± Mobai was speechless. ¡°How long do you want to hide it from me? Are you happy to see me like this? I just want to know if Zuo Hancheng is still alive and where he is, but you are always so ambiguous. Mobai, I really want to stab you to death with Tanghulu!¡± Mobai raised his hand and rubbed his nose, sighing softly.¡±Let¡¯s wait. Perhaps there will come a time when everyone¡¯s dreams come true.¡± Another ambiguous answer. Lin Qing¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise, but the moment she did, her eyes were filled with disappointment and confusion. Chapter 889 - Chapter 889: Dear Mr. V (1) Chapter 889: Dear Mr. V (1) When they returned to Liu Jing Garden, Anhao was still in a dazed state. Lin Qing wanted to stay and accompany her, but Anhao rejected him. ¡°I¡¯m fine. You can go back to the company. If there¡¯s anything you need me to sign, I¡¯ll go to the company to sign it myself tomorrow.¡± Hearing Anhao¡¯s words, Lin Qing looked at her in surprise.¡±¡±Anhao?¡± Anhao looked at her.¡± I might not be able to attend the meeting this afternoon. I won¡¯t be able to gather my energy to listen. Can we move it to tomorrow morning?¡± Give me an afternoon.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qing nodded and saw that Anhao was sitting on the sofa without moving. In fact, Anhao¡¯s condition had been very good for so many months. Pregnant women were prone to be irritable. Anhao had been suppressing her urge to grab Mobai¡¯s collar and continue questioning him. She had been suppressing herself and leaving the company just like that to return to Liu Jing Garden. As a woman, Lin Qing could understand her depression. ¡°Anhao, shall I get Huang Mao to come over and accompany you?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Anhao slowly lay down on the sofa and placed a pillow under her neck. She closed her eyes and said softly,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll be fine after a while. I don¡¯t want to trouble you guys anymore.¡± Lin Qing was helpless. Seeing that she had been busy at the office for a while and was agitated because of the email, she should be sleeping now. She should have a good rest first. Lin Qing went to the bedroom and took out a blanket. He walked to the sofa and covered Anhao with it. Just as he was about to lean down to comfort her, he saw Anhao curl up on the sofa and hide her head under the blanket. ¡°Have a good rest. If there really is any news that you want to hear¡­¡± Lin Qing paused for a moment before continuing,¡±¡±I will tell you as soon as possible.¡± Anhao did not move under the blanket. Lin Qing sighed and turned around to leave. Before he left, he gently closed the door and stood outside the Liujing Garden house. He looked at the simple double-layered villa behind him and thought of the look that Mobai gave her before. He left with a face full of confusion. The room suddenly became very quiet. Anhao was really tired. She slept for more than twelve hours every day, but she still wanted to sleep during the day. Just as she was about to fall asleep silently, the fetal movement in her stomach made her suddenly open her eyes again. Nowadays, people who hacked accounts usually used email accounts to log in or register for other things, but they almost never logged in to their email accounts, let alone have the leisure to read those emails. She suddenly sat up, picked up the computer on the coffee table, and placed it on her lap. She curled up on the sofa and stared at the screen that gradually lit up. When she logged into her email, she looked at the read words in front of the emails. There were still only a few emails, and nothing had changed. Anhao opened the email sending window. All the emails she had sent to Mr. V¡¯s mailbox were about what happened every day. They were basically very positive and always reported the good news but not the bad. She had never sent him a photo. But now, Anhao suddenly picked up her phone and faced her face. She tried hard to find an angle that looked healthy. Then, she raised two fingers and made a V-shaped sign. She smiled happily. After taking a photo, she used a photo editing software to make her cheeks rosy. Then, she uploaded the photo to the computer and sent it directly to Mr. V. Five minutes later, the email was still unread. Half an hour later, unread¡­ Two hours later¡­Unread¡­ Anhao¡¯s little hopes were instantly extinguished bit by bit. She suddenly felt that her actions were a little funny. She had wanted to use this method to greet him. She wondered if he missed her as much as she missed him. She realized that both she and Zuo Hancheng did not like to take photos. There were almost no photos of him in the phone, let alone a photo of the two of them. The next morning, Anhao went to the company again. Mobai and Lin Qing could see that she had indeed sorted out her emotions, so they followed her and assisted her in her work. They taught her how to take charge of the company step by step, and told her the attitude and habits of President Zuo when he handled certain company matters. Anhao listened and learned seriously as if nothing had happened yesterday. ***** New York, United States. The monitor in the intensive care unit beeped steadily. When the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes, D, who had been waiting outside, quickly informed the doctor. The doctor walked into the ward and did a series of examinations on the person on the bed. This time, he did not shake his head almost eight out of ten times like before. This time, the doctor was pleasantly surprised to find that Mr. Zuo¡¯s vitality was much stronger. Compared to the few minutes he had woken up last night, the effect of sleeping for more than 24 hours this time was obviously very good. Seeing the joy in the doctor¡¯s eyes, D walked in to ask about the situation. Yesterday, Mr. Zuo had been sleeping ever since he read a few emails and had not woken up. In the past few days, he would wake up a few times a day, but yesterday, he slept for so long that D was so worried that he did not dare to leave the hospital. After hearing the doctor¡¯s words, it was a good thing that Mr. Zuo had fallen into a deep sleep again after reading the email yesterday. He also learned that a few of the devices on Mr. Zuo could be removed. This meant that Mr. Zuo¡¯s physical condition was much better than they had expected. Another meaning of withdrawing the medical monitoring equipment was that Mr. Zuo¡¯s life was basically out of danger¡­ It was not until the doctor left the ward to explain the follow-up precautions to the other people that D, who was wearing the designated disinfectant gown in the ICU, walked to the bedside. Seeing that Zuo Hancheng was still awake and had been quietly listening to the conversation between the doctor and them without making a sound or moving, D leaned over and said,¡±Mr. Zuo, it¡¯s been five months. We¡¯ve finally taken such a big step forward. You¡¯ve basically made it through! That¡¯s great!¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t move, but he blinked very slowly as a response to D. No one knew if Zuo Hancheng had any more consciousness in the past five months. The medical equipment, the clips, the tubes, and the needles had been stuck to his limbs every day. The number of needle holes on his body had long been uncountable. If it were anyone else, they would have died here. Few people could last more than five months with such intensive treatment. However, Zuo Hancheng managed to hold on for five months. Mr. Zuo¡¯s life was saved, and his physical condition had stabilized in all aspects. This was the news that made a big man like D almost tear up. Chapter 890 - Chapter 890: Dear Mr. V (2) Chapter 890: Dear Mr. V (2) A month later¡­ More and more people could enter the intensive care unit to visit him. Zuo Hancheng was hanging an IV drip with one hand while his other hand was slowly scrolling through the laptop placed on the bed. This was what Mr. Arel saw when he walked in. ¡°It seems that your recovery this month is indeed very good. Even the doctor is amazed by your cooperation and the extent of your recovery.¡± His cold voice carried a hint of frost from the outside. It fell into the ears of the person on the hospital bed, but it did not cause any ripples on his pale and handsome face. Zuo Hancheng shifted his gaze from the computer screen to Mr. Arel, who had just walked in. Mr. Arel snorted.¡± I heard D say a week ago that you could sit up now. I didn¡¯t expect it to be true.¡± Vallen, your vitality is really amazing.¡± ¡± There are still too many responsibilities that I have yet to fulfill, and there are still people waiting for me. If I were to really give up and return to the West, I¡¯m afraid that Mr. Arel would be the first to dig me out of my grave.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was low. His throat had not recovered from the smoke from the explosion and he was still a little weak. His voice was very soft, but it sounded very clear in the quiet ward. Mr. Arel walked to the bedside and sized him up.¡±¡±Grave? My daughter hasn¡¯t even seen your grave. Back then, in the big explosion, other than you, no one else survived. It¡¯s already their fortune to be able to sleep in a grave, let alone you.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lips curled slightly. The wounds on his neck and shoulders were clearly visible under his light-colored hospital gown. Although his wounds had healed, Mr. Arel had found the best trauma department and relevant doctors to treat the scars on his body. Therefore, some of the skin and wounds on his body were still treated with medicine and dressing every day. Mr. Arel did not want to see his daughter¡¯s first gift return to her with scars all over her body. Even if there were some scars that could not be erased, they should at least be reduced. It was not difficult to see a few wounds on the man¡¯s body, but after all, Zuo Hancheng was a gift he wanted to give to his daughter. He could not go overboard on the outside. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng was in the car at that time, so his burns were not very serious. Only the part where he was injured by the explosion and the gunshot wound were the most serious. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face was pale and bloodless because of the long-term intensive treatment, except for a small, inconspicuous bloody wound on his chin that was hit by something that flew from the explosion. However, it did not affect his handsome face as usual. Zuo Hancheng, who had been treated as a great gift by Mr. Arel, did not take his words seriously. Arel knew how Zuo Hancheng treated him. Ten years ago, this young man was different from others. He was never humble or fearful. In fact, this young man always treated everything in the mafia with an equal attitude. If Zuo Hancheng had not known how to be a good person, she would not have given him the chance to leave. But in the blink of an eye, this young man had become his son-in-law¡­ Mr. Arel had been standing by the bedside the entire time, and his attitude was a little unpredictable. Zuo Hancheng then looked at him again.¡±¡±As far as I know, Mr. Arel hasn¡¯t been able to settle the Andersons yet, but you still have the time to come here to visit me. Should I be grateful for Mr. Arel¡¯s attention, or should I laugh at your failure in your relationship after decades of being in power?¡± Mr. Arel looked at him coldly.¡±You¡¯ve only been out of danger for a month, and you¡¯re already courting death?¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and smiled casually. He did not comment on it. ¡°No matter how important the Andersons are, they¡¯re not more important than my daughter.¡±Mr. Arel¡¯s expression was solemn and serious.¡±I just want to wait for you to recover. I can¡¯t wait to put you in a box, wrap you up with a ribbon, and send you back to my daughter. Maybe then she¡¯ll give me a smile instead of looking at me like I¡¯m a stranger.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze paused and he glanced at him. ¡°My daughter is waiting for you.¡± Mr. Arel looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s indifferent expression and said coldly,¡±¡±Vllen, you should know that she¡¯s going to give birth in a few months.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded very calm, but his gaze was fixed on the computer on the bed. The email showed the last email Anhao sent him a month ago. It was a photo of Anhao drawing a ¡®V¡¯ shape in front of the screen under the light of her home in Liujing Garden. She was smiling widely, and her eyes were filled with smiles. At least it was the smile she wanted him to see when she took the photo. Over the past month, Zuo Hancheng had read over 100 emails every day when he woke up. Even if she had not sent him any more emails after sending him the last photo a month ago, even if he had read over 100 emails repeatedly, he would still be able to read those emails every day on his computer. It was already a must-have spiritual food for Zuo Hancheng every day in this hospital bed. After Mr. Arel left, Zuo Hancheng casually tapped on the computer screen and opened an email. Like every other letter, the first few words were ¡± Dear Mr. V.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled, his gaze gentle. ***** ¡°President An, the board of directors ¡®attitude today is not directed at you. They have always been dissatisfied with the company¡¯s development and the increase in performance this year. This is closely related to the work of the subordinate departments. They are not targeting you.¡± On the top floor of Shengling Group, Anhao walked out of the elevator in a loose but professional outfit. Her secretary followed behind her and kept talking about the small situation in the meeting. After Anhao walked out of the elevator, she saw Lin Qing. Lin Qing walked over. As he knew what had happened in the meeting room, he gave the secretary behind Anhao a look, telling her to go back to the office first. Then, Lin Qing walked beside Anhao and said,¡±What¡¯s wrong? Another blow?¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± I¡¯m used to it. I¡¯m a newcomer in the field of business management. A month ago, I suddenly agreed to officially join the company. It¡¯s the same as running straight from the novice training camp to the international competition venue. No one would have much hope for me. Besides, the board of directors and the executives are secretly speculating that I murdered my husband and robbed the company¡¯s assets. Therefore, every time I meet, they would attack me coldly and suspiciously. I¡¯m already used to it.¡± Seeing that Anhao didn¡¯t seem to mind, Lin Qing knew that Anhao was very open-minded now. At the same time, he looked at her belly.¡±When they saw you coming to the company with such a big belly, they actually understood in their hearts that you¡¯re still pregnant with President Zuo¡¯s child. Who would dare to make wild guesses? Besides, Anhao, your performance this past month has been really good. Usually, when the executives and directors question you, you just ignore them and let Mobai settle it.¡± Chapter 891 - Chapter 891: He’s Back (1) Chapter 891: He¡¯s Back (1) ¡°I can¡¯t count on you and Mobai for the rest of my life. Besides, Mobai still has to find time to date occasionally.¡±¡± He¡¯s already in his thirties,¡± Anhao said as she walked into the office.¡± It¡¯s not easy for him to get into a relationship. I can¡¯t keep hogging his time.¡±¡± Lin Qing followed her in and couldn¡¯t help but laugh,¡±¡± Then you should be glad that your girlfriend is your best friend. Besides, it seems like the two of them have only recently confirmed their relationship. I saw that Mobai was still very calm a while ago¡­¡± ¡± It¡¯s precisely because we¡¯ve just officially started dating that we¡¯re now in a passionate relationship. Although Mobai won¡¯t say anything, I¡¯m still afraid of Huang Ah¡­¡± Anhao paused for a moment. She felt that since she had a boyfriend now, she should modify her way of addressing him and her wording. She couldn¡¯t call him yellow like she did when she was young, so she continued,¡±I was afraid that Mao Mao would complain to me and say that I stole her man.¡± ¡°Whose man did you steal?¡± The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Mobai walked in. He glanced at the two women who were leaning against the desk gossiping about him, then looked at Anhao.¡±Were you mocked by the board of directors during the meeting just now?¡± Anhao shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly.¡±¡± It¡¯s only been a month. I know that they won¡¯t be able to get used to me sitting at the front so quickly. They¡¯re already giving me face by mocking me. It¡¯s already good enough that they didn¡¯t stand up and scold me for usurping power in your company and hiding Zuo Hancheng.¡± Anyway, these were all topics that the company¡¯s employees often discussed in private. Even if they didn¡¯t stand up and point at her, these were all rumors that everyone knew. ¡°They really don¡¯t have the guts to curse out loud.¡±Mobai said lightly and walked in. He placed a data sheet on Anhao¡¯s desk behind her.¡±Take a look for yourself. In the past half a year, although the company did not have President Zuo to oversee it, all aspects are still proceeding in an orderly manner. This month, we even increased our profit points by 1%. You have to know that our Shengling Group¡¯s annual goal is to increase our profit points by at least 10% compared to the previous year. Anhao, you¡¯ve been here for a month, and you¡¯ve already increased by 1%. Who would dare to stand up and say anything?¡± Anhao turned her head to look at the data sheet on the desk. She picked it up and looked at it without saying anything. ¡°Yeah, but half a month ago, Anhao, you were really tough. When Dahua Organization came to discuss the contract, you directly appeared. When they saw you with such a big belly discussing the cooperation with them, they were all stunned.¡± ¡°And when we were discussing the project, they thought you were a newcomer and thought you could squeeze something out of you. In the end, they didn¡¯t expect you to be so cautious and even beat them up, causing them to have no choice but to give up an additional 10% of the profits.¡± ¡°This has been discussed by our company¡¯s senior management for a long time. Although they are not convinced by your appearance, Anhao, you can be tough and smart at times. You can really use it to your advantage. At least, you can see it from the 1% increase this month¡­¡± Anhao chuckled and put down the data sheet in her hand. She said softly,¡±You two don¡¯t have to comfort me. If I really had a fragile heart, I wouldn¡¯t have chosen to come to the company a month ago.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. You were quite thick-skinned three or four years ago.¡±Mobai suddenly said with a smile. Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡±Do you still want to eat, drink coffee, and watch a movie with our Mao Mao? Do you want me to squeeze all your private time and let you radiate your light and heat 24 hours a day in the company?¡± Mobai smiled and rubbed his nose.¡±¡±President An, I know my mistake.¡± Lin Qing laughed beside Anhao. Anhao rolled her eyes at Mobai,¡±¡±For the sake of this one percent, I¡¯ll give you two days off to spend some time with our Mao Mao. Speaking of which, Mobai, you¡¯ve really profited. You¡¯re our Mao Mao¡¯s first love.¡± Mobai raised an eyebrow, a warm smile on his face.¡±Wasn¡¯t Rong Qian her first love?¡± Anhao glanced at him for a while, then raised her hand to stroke her forehead.¡±She even told you this?¡± Mobai chuckled and didn¡¯t say much. However, his attitude was obviously to carefully protect the little secrets that belonged to those lovers between him and Huang Mao. Anhao felt more at ease when she saw this. Compared to Rong Qian¡¯s sloppy young master, the mature and steady Mobai was more suitable for Huang Amao. Moreover, although Mobai was the CEO¡¯s special assistant, he was a candidate for the next vice president. When the vice president of Shengling Group moved to take over the overseas company, Mobai would be Vice President Mo. His connections, upbringing, status, and personality were many times better than Rong Qian¡¯s. Moreover, Shengling Group would not be able to hold on for a while if they were to lose Mobai while Zuo Hancheng was gone. However, she now had Huang Amao¡¯s connection. No matter what, Mobai was her best friend¡¯s boyfriend. In the past, she was a little embarrassed when she saw him being so busy and tired at the company. Now, she finally had a reason to squeeze him. ¡°Mobai seems to have become much younger since he fell in love.¡±Lin Qing stood beside Anhao and teased her. Mobai raised an eyebrow, and Anhao instantly smiled.¡±¡±He¡¯s only thirty-two years old, okay? He doesn¡¯t look old at all. Our Mao Mao has good taste.¡± Mobai felt helpless being teased by this woman. He immediately changed the topic,¡±¡±In a few days, T City and A City will have a joint project expansion meeting. Anhao, if it¡¯s not convenient for you to go, Lin Qing and I can go.¡± ¡°What date?¡± Anhao asked. ¡°No. 18.¡± Anhao calculated the time.¡± I almost forgot if you didn¡¯t mention it. I have an appointment for a prenatal checkup on the 18th.¡±¡± ¡°Do you want someone to accompany you?¡± ¡°You and Lin Qing can do whatever you want. I¡¯ll get your girlfriend to accompany me.¡± Mobai was speechless. ***** The hospital¡¯s gynecology department was always crowded with people. Even though the VIP channel was opened, it was still a long queue before it was finally Anhao¡¯s turn to go in for a check-up. In the past few months, her morning sickness had lessened a lot. She would no longer be woken up by nausea in the morning, but recently, she had started to feel nauseous again. After telling the doctor about the situation, the doctor said that this was a normal phenomenon. He also said that the baby in her stomach was in the period of hair growth recently, and nausea and stomach discomfort occurred from time to time. Huang Amao waited for her outside for a long time until Anhao came out with the checkup report. He quickly went up to her.¡±¡±How is it? The baby is still very healthy, right?¡± Chapter 892 - Chapter 892: He’s Back (2) Chapter 892: He¡¯s Back (2) ¡°There¡¯s no problem. The doctor just told me to strengthen my nutrition, but he also told me to eat less sweets.¡±Anhao said as she walked out. ¡°Mao Mao, accompany me out for a walk.¡± Anhao said as she walked. Recently, Anhao had been calling her Mao Mao, and Huang Amao was not used to it. However, after a few days, she got used to it. She braced herself and followed behind Anhao, muttering,¡±¡± Every time you call me ¡®Mao¡¯, I feel like my mother is calling me¡­¡± Anhao immediately glanced at her.¡± Then you can just take it that I¡¯m overflowing with maternal love?¡± I¡¯m helping you maintain your image! Do you want Mobai to know how you looked like when you were in school?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± It¡¯s not like Mobai didn¡¯t go to A High School a few years ago. He¡¯s already seen it, okay?¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Anhao smiled.¡± But you can¡¯t take back your mother¡¯s love once it overflows. Mao Mao, come with me.¡±¡± ¡°Why are you still going out? It¡¯s snowing outside. Don¡¯t catch a cold. If you get sick and can¡¯t take your medicine, you¡¯ll suffer¡­¡± Anhao stood in front of the hospital and looked at the heavy snow falling outside. Although the four seasons of A City alternated, it was not like the north, where the entire winter was covered in snow. It was really rare to see such a heavy snow. She looked at the snowy scenery outside for a long time before saying softly,¡±His birthday is in a month.¡± ¡°Whose birthday is it?¡± Huang Amao¡¯s eyes paused.¡± After asking, he almost bit off his own tongue. In the end, he added,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s birthday?¡± Anhao¡¯s gaze remained unchanged as she looked at the snowy scenery outside the hospital. She took a deep breath and smiled.¡±Yes, it¡¯s December now. It¡¯s already the end of the year.¡± Huang Amao didn¡¯t say anything else. When Anhao walked out of the hospital, he walked beside her. Although the snow was heavy, the weather wasn¡¯t particularly cold. Besides, Anhao was wearing a lot of clothes. As they walked on the road, Huang Amao couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±I saw that you¡¯ve been living at home and at the company every day for the past month. You didn¡¯t even log in to your email address. You looked normal every day, as if you¡¯d said goodbye to the past. I thought you¡¯d already let go.¡± Anhao smiled, but her voice was very calm.¡±How can I let it go? In this half a year, from the hot summer to the early winter, some things would only become more and more deeply rooted in my heart. I just didn¡¯t want everyone to continue to worry about me by my side.¡± ¡°I heard from Mobai that you¡¯re very hardworking in the company. You don¡¯t care about the grievances or the doubts and ridicule between the executives. He also said that your ability to withstand pressure is very strong and always praises you.¡± Anhao acted as if she hadn¡¯t heard anything. The hospital wasn¡¯t far from the business street. The two of them walked to the corner in front and looked in the direction of the business street. She looked at the cake shop in front of her, but her gaze only stayed in front of the cake shop for two seconds before she left. ¡°Zuo Hancheng isn¡¯t here¡­He can¡¯t even receive a present from you on his birthday. Are you going to buy him a present?¡±Huang Amao followed Anhao to the business street and said as they walked. ¡°I don¡¯t know what to buy, I just want to walk, I just walk, I don¡¯t know what to buy, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I don¡¯t know what to buy, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t know, I just want to buy, I just want to buy, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I also don¡¯t know, I just want to buy, I don¡¯t know, I just want to buy, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I just want to walk, I don¡¯t know what to buy, I just want to buy, I just want to buy, I just want to buy, I want to buy¡± When they arrived at a men¡¯s clothing store, Anhao looked at the shirts and trousers inside, then at the models in front of the display window. Suddenly, she felt that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure was much better looking than these models. There was probably no one in the world who looked better in a shirt than him. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want to buy clothes? He can¡¯t wear it¡­¡± Anhao didn¡¯t stay for long and continued walking. They stopped outside a luxury watch shop. Huang Amao asked again,¡±Don¡¯t tell me you want to buy a watch?¡± He can¡¯t wear it either¡­¡± Then, they passed by the jewelry store. ¡°You don¡¯t want to buy a ring, do you?¡± Huang Amao asked. He¡­¡± ¡°Huang Amao!¡± Anhao suddenly called her that again. At the same time, she turned her eyes and glared at her with an ugly expression.¡±I suddenly feel that asking you to accompany me for a walk was the wrong choice.¡± I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going back, I¡¯m going¡±Huang Amao held her arm. Anhao didn¡¯t move. She looked at the jewelry store in front of her again, then lowered her head and looked at her empty fingers. ¡°What do you mean by he took the wedding ring that he gave me back then?¡±Anhao stood where she was and spoke in a very soft voice, as if the wind could blow it away. ¡°Ah?¡± Huang Amao didn¡¯t hear her clearly and looked at her with a confused expression.¡±¡±What ring?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She just held her empty fingers in her palm.¡±You¡¯re such a crazy person, what does Mobai see in you?¡± Huang Amao smiled like a flower.¡±¡±Just because I¡¯m crazy!¡± Anhao rolled her eyes. Zuo Hancheng, did you know that your assistant¡¯s taste is so weird? ***** Time seemed to pass very slowly as he lived alone in the Gilt Scenic Garden. However, it was already the end of the year in a flash. Tomorrow was New Year¡¯s Day, and the company would have a three-day break from today onwards. Anhao suddenly had nothing to do. She sat at home in Liujing Garden and stared at the television, but her mind was not on the television at all. Ever since she sent the photo to Mr. V¡¯s email, she had not received a read status for a long time. She was sure that Mr. V¡¯s email address had really been hacked or someone had logged in by mistake. Therefore, for the past few months, she had never logged into her email or sent any more emails. Furthermore, she had been focusing all her energy on the company for the past month, so she did not have much time to idle and think about things. Every day when she returned home from the company, she was so tired that she went straight to sleep after taking a shower. Now that they were suddenly on holiday because of New Year¡¯s Day, it was snowing heavily outside. It was rare for A City to be completely covered in snow. Everywhere was covered in white. Therefore, she was even more forbidden to go out. Everyone was afraid that she would fall on the snowy roads. Anhao had been staring at the television the whole morning. Lin Qing had gone home to accompany her husband, her child, and her family. Mobai and Huang Amao were busy dating. Everyone in the company had their own things to do. Even the security guard outside Liujing Garden had a girlfriend to send lunch over. The happiness of others was different, but at least they were all happy. 2 PM. Anhao, who had been sitting on the sofa in a daze for a few hours, suddenly walked down from the sofa and went to the study room with her laptop. She then returned to the sofa and sat down. Her fingers landed on the keyboard and opened the familiar email. She entered the familiar password until the email page opened up and fell into her eyes. Suddenly, she held her breath. There were a few junk emails in her mailbox. After she cleaned them up, her gaze fell on the sent out column. Suddenly, she did not have the courage to open it. Chapter 893 - Chapter 893: He’s Back (3) Chapter 893: He¡¯s Back (3) Anhao¡¯s phone was ringing. She stared at the computer screen as if she didn¡¯t hear it. Her fingers were sliding aimlessly on the touch button, but she didn¡¯t dare to click on the ¡®sent¡¯ button. It was not until the phone rang for a long time that she reached out her other hand to pick up the phone. Without looking at who was calling, she answered the call. Huang Amao¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone.¡±¡±Anhao, I caught a lot of good dolls today. I¡¯ll bring a few for you later. Mobai is so stupid. He¡¯s a man in his thirties, but he doesn¡¯t know how to catch dolls. To think that he doesn¡¯t even have the full potential to flirt with girls. Tsk tsk ~ Fortunately, I¡¯ve shown my skills and caught a lot of dolls ~¡± ¡± Oh right, Anhao, I¡¯m meeting Mobai and Lin Qing to make dumplings at Liujing Garden in the afternoon tomorrow. It¡¯s New Year¡¯s Day. Let¡¯s learn from the people in the north and make dumplings together to celebrate the new year. What do you think? We all want to spend the new year with you and the baby in your belly¡­¡± As Anhao listened on, it was as if a world had been cut off from her ears. Whatever Huang Amao continued to say was cut off in an instant and she could not hear it anymore¡­ When he was on the phone, his fingers accidentally swiped on the computer, and the sent email page suddenly popped up. Anhao¡¯s gaze swept across the screen, and her ears seemed to be unable to hear anything for a moment. Read, read, read, read¡­ Read¡­ Read¡­ Read¡­ ¡°Mao Mao, call me later.¡±Anhao suddenly said in a very, very soft voice. She threw her phone to the side and stared at the computer, scrolling down the page. There were more than a hundred emails she had sent to Mr. Mo, and all of them had been read. In the mailbox that was filled to the brim, the words ¡± read ¡± formed a neat row, making Anhao almost think that her eyes were playing tricks on her. She looked down one by one and realized that every message was really read. If it was really just an account, who would be so patient as to read so many diary-like emails one by one? Anhao¡¯s palms suddenly started to sweat. She took a few deep breaths and suddenly put down her laptop to call D, who was far away in the United States. ***** D was busy communicating with the doctor in the ward. Zuo Hancheng had left the intensive care unit that day and was transferred to the general ward. He no longer needed to be monitored by the medical equipment. His recovery speed was getting faster and faster, and he could gradually get out of bed and walk in the past two days. When he suddenly received Anhao¡¯s call, D was stunned as he held his phone. At the same time, he looked up at Zuo Hancheng, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked out with his phone. Anhao hadn¡¯t called him for more than half a year. That girl seemed to think that everything about herself and America was an untouchable wound for her, and she had a faint resistance to all of this. However, D broke out in a cold sweat when he suddenly received such a call. The phone rang for a long time before it stopped. It rang again not long after. D held the phone and stood outside the ward, hesitating. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t dare to answer it, but he was thinking about what to say after picking it up. The door of the ward was opened at this moment. D turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng coming over to open the door. He was even more shocked.¡±Mister Zuo, why are you out of bed?¡± ¡°After lying down for the whole day, I came down to take a walk.¡±Zuo Hancheng glanced at the phone in his hand as he spoke.¡±¡±Who called? Why aren¡¯t you picking up?¡± D raised his phone screen for him to see.¡±Yes¡­ Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng turned around and looked at the familiar number displayed on his phone screen. .. Anhao called him several times in a row, but D did not pick up. She felt even more lonely and suspicious. Logically speaking, D should have recognized her phone number, so why didn¡¯t he pick up? She continued to make phone calls stubbornly. As she held her phone, she stared at all the emails that she had read on the screen. A flame was burning in her heart. The phone kept ringing. After it stopped, it continued to ring. After it rang, it continued to stop, and so on. Zuo Hancheng sat on the bed beside the bed while D stood beside him. His phone had been ringing for a few minutes. It could be seen how persistent Anhao was when she suddenly called. However, Zuo Hancheng had not asked him to answer the call, nor had he said that he would not answer it. D did not dare to act rashly, so he simply placed the phone on the table in front of Zuo Hancheng. He did not want to make the decision to answer the call. Zuo Hancheng stared at the phone that was flashing and dimming. ¡°Does the doctor have any special instructions for my recovery these few days?¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at his phone, which had dimmed down and did not light up again, and suddenly said,¡± D paused for a moment before answering,¡± No, the doctor said that Mr. Zuo¡¯s recovery is very good. Your vital signs and other aspects are very stable. However, if you want to completely recover to a healthy state, it will take at least a year. This is the fastest, but it may take longer.¡± ¡°After all, you have only just managed to survive and your body has just stabilized. You will indeed need some time to completely return to a healthy state. The recuperation of your internal and external injuries is very time-consuming. Moreover, the injuries on your body still need some time to be treated¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng was still looking at the phone. Anhao did not call again. The little girl was sad. However, once he received the call, that girl would definitely not take into account her pregnant body and take the New Year¡¯s Day flight to America to look for him. D, she said that when she returned to the country, she was on the plane, she vomited, she was about to stand up, and now her stomach had grown a lot. How long did she want to be on the plane? How could her body withstand the shock of the journey and seeing the injuries on his body? Zuo Hancheng did not say anything, and D did not interrupt either. When D saw that it was time to give Zuo Hancheng an injection again, he was about to turn around to look for the nurse when he suddenly heard Zuo Hancheng speak. ¡°D, try to send me back to A City as soon as possible.¡± D stopped in his tracks and suddenly turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had a calm expression on his face. ¡°Mr. Zuo, your physical condition has not fully recovered yet. If you return to A City now, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± ¡°I said as soon as possible, no more than a month. During this period of time, I will continue to cooperate with the treatment.¡± ¡± But Mr. Arel¡­¡± ¡°You can tell Mr. Arel, but you don¡¯t need his permission.¡±¡± Tomorrow is the new year,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± If it¡¯s possible, I hope that I can appear in front of her tomorrow and be by her and the child¡¯s side.¡±¡± However, his physical condition did not allow it for the time being. ¡®Then I¡¯ll wait a little longer. Anhao, wait a little longer.¡¯ Chapter 894 - Chapter 894: He’s Back (4) Chapter 894: He¡¯s Back (4) After making a few calls, D did not pick up. He stood up and paced around the room. Finally, he paced back and forth in the room. Just as she was thinking about whether she should fly to America to find D directly and question him in person, her phone suddenly rang. She quickly turned around and rushed back to the sofa to pick up her phone. When she saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she hesitated for a moment before picking it up. ¡°Anhao.¡± The moment she heard the voice, the light in Anhao¡¯s eyes dimmed.¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± An Ping heard Anhao¡¯s indifferent voice and was afraid that she would just hang up the phone. After all, this child had never been willing to pick up the An family¡¯s calls for so many months. This time, she wanted to take advantage of the upcoming New Year to talk to her, but she actually picked up. ¡± Child, tomorrow is the new year. Your grandparents want to see you. We want to spend the new year with you in A City. Also, after more than half a year of communication and your father¡¯s insistence, your grandfather has already let go of those obsessions from before. Also, your grandfather misses you very much. He has always liked you, but he can¡¯t get over that hurdle in his heart. But now, he has thought it through. You¡¯re a child of the An family and my daughter. We want to¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. An.¡± Anhao interrupted her. When Anhao spoke softly, her tone was cold and devoid of any warmth. There were no fluctuations in her emotions.¡±I¡¯m not interested in what happened to your family over twenty years ago. So, whatever you¡¯ve communicated with each other in the past six months, what you¡¯ve done, or what you want to do now, it has nothing to do with me. Please don¡¯t call me again in the future.¡± ¡± Anhao, I know you hate me, and I know that you¡¯re still upset because of what happened in Han City. I¡¯m worried about you and I want to be with you, but you¡¯ve been rejecting me. I don¡¯t want my presence to affect your life and your mood, but child, it¡¯s almost the new year. Since the three of us are still living well in this world, shouldn¡¯t we cherish the present? No matter what happened in the past, we can sit down and talk about it. Wouldn¡¯t it be good to let our family reunite in the new year?¡± ¡°Reunion?¡± Anhao chuckled.¡± Madam An, it doesn¡¯t really matter to me whether it¡¯s been eight or nine years. If you really look closely, I was fourteen when you left. It¡¯ll be my twenty-fourth birthday in a few months. That¡¯ll be ten years. I¡¯ve been used to being alone for the past ten years, and I¡¯ve also gotten used to being alone during the new year. I don¡¯t need anyone to accompany me, nor do I need to reunite with anyone. If you really appear in front of me, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to adapt.¡± ¡°Anhao, listen to Mom¡­¡± ¡± Ms. An, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up now. I¡¯m sorry that I can¡¯t reunite with all of you. On account of our blood ties, I won¡¯t fall out with any of you, but I won¡¯t have too much contact with you either. I wish your family a happy new year in advance. Oh right, help me tell Anxin that I won¡¯t snatch her mother away, nor will I snatch her life and status in the An family.¡± After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, An Ping said softly,¡±Anxin has already left¡­¡± Anhao frowned. Although she didn¡¯t understand what the word ¡®left¡¯ meant, she didn¡¯t intend to ask further. ¡°She was afraid that the card in her hand would be frozen, so she withdrew ten million dollars and left. She has been missing for half a year and has never returned.¡± Anhao held the phone in silence, but she couldn¡¯t even say a word of comfort. She knew that Anping had her reasons for not taking her back then, but she had always been too lazy to listen to these reasons. She also knew that Anxin was actually a substitute for her. Because she looked very similar to her, Anping couldn¡¯t bring her back at the time, so she brought Anxin home to take care of her after seeing her. It was actually to make up for the things that were missing in her heart. Taking in an orphan was a kind of kindness, so Anhao didn¡¯t blame her. She only blamed Anping for suspecting her and Anxin¡¯s fight back then, but more than that, she was afraid that after being separated from her mother for ten years, they were already strangers to each other. After experiencing life and death, loss and gain, Anhao no longer clung to anything. Therefore, whether she stayed or left in peace, no matter what kind of story Anping and Mr. Arel had, no matter what happened to the An family more than twenty years ago, she no longer cared about these things. ¡± Happy New Year, Ms. An.¡± Anhao hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She placed her phone on the sofa and then looked at the computer on the coffee table. Her heart was empty. She wanted to grab onto something, but she couldn¡¯t. She could imagine how uncomfortable An Ping would be after hanging up the phone, but everyone in this world was so selfish. Everyone had their own difficulties and reasons for being selfish. Then let¡¯s not torture each other anymore. After being separated from each other for ten years, they were forced to be together. It was nothing more than filling the missing and gaps in the hearts of some old people, as well as those years of regret. Why should she fill those gaps now? She had never been so loving and kind. ***** This year¡¯s winter was much colder than every year. Anhao wished she could wrap herself in a coat and a down jacket every morning when she went out. Lin Qing said that he wanted to buy a mink coat for her and that it was loose and warm, but Anhao declined. A mink coat? Her belly was already more than seven months old and was as big as a watermelon. If she wore a mink coat, she would look like a living bear. If she went out with her round belly, she would probably be captured and locked up in the zoo like a national treasure. Moreover, she did not want to dress up like a nouveau riche. In the afternoon, Anhao sat in the car after attending a certain business event with Lin Qing. She was exhausted. ¡°How is it? You¡¯re already thirty-two weeks pregnant, and your body is getting heavier and heavier. Your due date is in eight weeks. If you really can¡¯t do it, you can rest at home for the next two months. Leave the company¡¯s matters to the vice president and Mobai¡­¡± Lin Qing said with concern as he passed the thermos to Anhao. Anhao sniffed her nose, which was a little red from the cold outside, and didn¡¯t say anything. Because the business event she had just participated in was a little complicated, she was still immersed in the atmosphere just now and thinking about countermeasures. Lin Qing¡¯s words only brushed past her ears. After drinking the water, she turned to look out the window. A black limousine sped past. The window was slightly opened, and the slightly pale side profile of the person in the car flashed past. The thermos cup in Anhao¡¯s hand suddenly slipped from her hand, and the warm water spilled on her feet and the leather chair. ¡°Anhao? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qing turned to look at her. Before Lin Qing could finish his sentence, he saw Anhao rush out of the car without even putting on her coat. Chapter 895 - Chapter 895: He Really Came Back (1) Chapter 895: He Really Came Back (1) The thermos cup was lying on the leather chair with the water in it. Lin Qing looked outside in shock, but he saw Anhao rushing out of the car and running towards the back. That¡¯s right, it was a mad dash. The chauffeur had only slowed the car down when Anhao jumped out of the car, but now, he hurriedly stopped the car. There were so many cars on the road now. Anhao suddenly ran out with her big belly and thin clothes. The driver followed Lin Qing to chase after her. ¡°Anhao, Anhao! What¡¯s wrong with you? Come back quickly! It¡¯s dangerous!¡± Lin Qing was in a hurry to catch up, but he was still blocked by the cars in the middle of the road. He could only watch as Anhao chased after a car like a madman. Anhao chased after the black RV and shouted with difficulty,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng! Zuo Hancheng¡­Zuo Hancheng!¡± In the RV, the driver dispatched from the United States drove steadily. D sat in the front passenger seat and was on the phone with a hospital in China. He was contacting Mr. Zuo about a series of rehabilitation and treatment after he returned to China. It had been more than ten hours since he flew from America to China. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body had already exceeded its limits. After he got into the car, he had been sitting in the back with his eyes closed. The car continued to drive at a high speed. No one noticed that there was a figure trying to catch up with the car in the traffic behind. Seeing the RV drive further and further away, Anhao was so exhausted that she looked at the car with red eyes and shouted,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng-¡± Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes in the car even though they were far away. Noticing the strange gaze behind him, D turned around and glanced at him.¡±Mr. Zuo, we have successfully returned to the downtown area of A City from the airport. I am contacting the hospital to send you to the hospital immediately.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not seem to hear D¡¯s words. Instead, he looked out of the window with a strange expression. ¡°Mister Zuo?¡± ¡°Someone is crying.¡± D was stunned. He looked at the driver and said,¡±Where? We didn¡¯t hear anything¡­¡± The weather was too cold, and the heater in the car was sufficient. The warmth on the car window and the coldness outside gathered together to form a hazy white fog. Even if one looked at the rearview mirror in the car, they could not see anything because the window behind them was also covered in white fog. Zuo Hancheng did not speak for a while. He merely rolled down the slightly opened window and put the blanket aside. The moment he got closer to the window, the cries and hoarse cries that almost reached his heart entered his ears even more clearly. It was a blur. ¡°Zuo Hancheng-¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± The sound came one after another. Because the window was opened too wide, the driver instinctively slowed down. A few minutes later, just as the car was about to reach the next intersection, D seemed to have heard the sound. However, the sound was drowned out by the traffic and could not be heard clearly, but he still heard it. ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Seeing that the car was about to reach the next intersection, Anhao ran in despair and continued to chase after it with tears on her face. ¡°Anhao!¡± Lin Qing and the chauffeur caught up to Anhao very quickly. As Anhao¡¯s belly was too big and her body was too heavy, she couldn¡¯t run too fast. The two of them went forward and pulled her to the roadside,¡±¡±Anhao, what are you doing! The ground is covered in snow. What if you fall?¡± ¡°I saw Zuo Hancheng! I saw him!¡± Anhao desperately tried to shake off Lin Qing¡¯s hand,¡±¡±Let go of me! He¡¯s in that car!¡± ¡°Anhao, you must be mistaken! You¡¯re going to give birth in eight weeks. Nothing must happen to you. Be good and come back to the car with us!¡±Lin Qing pulled her hard and looked in the direction of the black RV, but he could not see anything. ¡°I didn¡¯t see wrongly! As long as Zuo Hancheng passes by me, I won¡¯t mistake him even if his voice and appearance have changed! Moreover, he had not changed! He was Zuo Hancheng! Lin Qing, let me go! I beg you to let me go!¡± Anhao cried and flung her away. Lin Qing didn¡¯t expect Anhao to have such strength. He couldn¡¯t catch her for a moment and saw Anhao continue running in that direction. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, I know it¡¯s you-¡± D turned around in the car to look at Zuo Hancheng. He felt that it was impossible. Even if Anhao was really nearby, she would not be able to see Mr. Zuo. However, the voice was getting closer and closer. ¡°Stop the car.¡± Zuo Hancheng suddenly opened his mouth. His voice was low, but it was an order that could not be resisted. The driver quickly stopped the car at the intersection. As Anhao ran, she saw that the car had stopped. She immediately raised her hand to wipe away her tears and continued running in that direction. When she was dozens of meters away from the car, the snow covered the ice below. She ran too fast and staggered, falling straight to the ground. The moment they fell to the ground, Lin Qing and the driver who were chasing after them were so scared that their throats were in their throats. The moment Anhao fell to the ground, she suddenly turned her body to the side. She did not let her stomach touch the ground. She only fell sideways on the snowy road. The huge pain in her waist and buttocks, along with the pain in her stomach, instantly attacked her. She bit her lip and looked in that direction. The car door opened. D got out of the car first. The moment she saw D, Anhao was even more certain that she hadn¡¯t seen wrongly. The excitement in her heart almost covered the pain of her fall. Her eyes instinctively looked in that direction with determination and infatuation. D quickly walked around the car and held a black umbrella to block the falling snow. He wanted to help the person in the car out, but the person refused his help. When Zuo Hancheng got out of the car, Anhao saw the figure floating in the snow. She felt as if the dark world was slowly becoming brighter. She saw the man take the black umbrella and saw that he was wearing a black trench coat. He looked better in the trench coat than in the suit. Although his face was pale, there was not a single injury on his face. It was as if nothing had happened for so long. He had just quietly gone somewhere for a holiday and disappeared for seven to eight months¡­ Lin Qing and the chauffeur were also stunned when they saw Zuo Hancheng get out of the car. They almost forgot to help Anhao up. D knew that President Zuo didn¡¯t want Anhao to see his injury, nor did he want Anhao to know that his body hadn¡¯t fully recovered, so he didn¡¯t go up to help him. In the snow, Zuo Hancheng held the black umbrella and walked towards the figure lying on the ground. Step by step, he seemed to be walking towards her from the horizon. Anhao¡¯s vision was already blurry. She opened her mouth to smile, but the smile on her lips fell straight down. How could she cry? Chapter 896 - Chapter 896: He Really Came Back (2) Chapter 896: He Really Came Back (2) However, she still cried and lay on the cold ground as the person walked closer and closer to her. ¡°President Zuo¡­¡± Lin Qing looked at the black figure in shock. He was so shocked that he almost stopped breathing. When that person walked in front of Anhao, the world seemed to have stopped. The black umbrella in his hand fell directly. Anhao heard the sound and quickly raised her head. When she saw his face up close, she cried and wanted to stand up, but the pain in her body almost engulfed all her nerves. She sniffed until Zuo Hancheng reached out his hand. She quickly raised her hand and placed it in his hand. His hand was not as warm as before. His hand was a little cold, but it was indeed his hand¡­ Zuo Hancheng lifted his arm slightly, and Anhao followed his force to stand up. The moment she stood up, she did not even care about the pain in her waist and butt. She threw herself into his arms and cried silently. However, her hands were hugging him tightly as if she was hugging the most precious and fragile treasure in the world. She was afraid that he would disappear in the next moment, that he would suddenly turn into a cloud of mist, and that it was just a dream. ¡°I know it¡¯s you¡­I knew it was you¡­¡± Anhao sobbed in his arms and hugged him tightly.¡±¡±You didn¡¯t die! Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re not dead! I know! I always knew that! Zuo Hancheng did not say anything. He felt the coldness on her body. Before he could speak, Lin Qing had already brought the coat that he had brought out from the car. However, when he handed the coat to Zuo Hancheng, even she felt that this scene was simply like a dream. Zuo Hancheng took the coat and covered Anhao with it. Anhao could not care less whether she was cold or not. She just wanted to bury herself in his arms and refused to separate from him. The scent that came into her nose was still his refreshing and pleasant smell. Although there was a hint of medicine, it did not affect her ability to distinguish the man in front of her. Anhao grabbed the windbreaker on his back with both hands and choked on her sobs. She could only repeat in a trembling voice,¡±¡±I know you¡¯re not dead¡­I know you¡¯re still alive¡­ Zuo Hancheng¡­You¡¯re still alive¡­¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m still alive.¡± Zuo Hancheng gently placed his hand on Anhao¡¯s head and caressed the back of her head.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry for making you wait so long.¡± Anhao shook her head desperately and burrowed deeper into his arms. She felt like she was about to drown in his arms.¡±Not long! Soon! As long as you¡¯re still alive, as long as you can come back, I can wait as long as it takes. Even if you don¡¯t come back, as long as you¡¯re still alive in this world, it¡¯s enough¡­¡± Anhao was a little incoherent. Zuo Hancheng chuckled, and his warm embrace could not match the passion in his heart. However, after more than ten hours of flight, his body had already exceeded its capacity. Anhao¡¯s completely inexplicable ramming had made it difficult for him to stand still, but he still stood in front of her, shielding her from the wind and snow, and avoiding the cold for her. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Anhao sniffled. She was about to ask him why he hadn¡¯t appeared for so long and why he didn¡¯t tell her that he was still alive. Before she could say anything, she felt a weight on her shoulder. Before she could react, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s body, which was standing in front of her, suddenly pressed down on her. However, he had already tried to avoid her stomach and slowly fell to the side. Anhao instinctively reached out to support him. She staggered and squatted down to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had suddenly fallen to the ground.¡± What¡¯s wrong with you?!¡± ¡°Mister Zuo!¡± D quickly ran over and saw that Anhao¡¯s expression was not too good. He could only explain in a hurry while supporting Zuo Hancheng with her.¡± Mrs. Zuo, Mr. Zuo has just finished eight months of intensive treatment in the United States. He hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet, and he just got off the plane not long ago. His body can¡¯t hold on for too long. He needs to go to the hospital immediately¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s face was pale and she nodded mechanically. However, her hand was still holding onto Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand tightly. .. At a certain China-US International Hospital in A City. Lin Qing forcefully brought Anhao to the gynecology department for a checkup to see if she had fallen and hurt herself. Although Anhao¡¯s stomach had been hurting a lot, the doctor only said that it was because her uterus had contracted a few times due to the fall. Fortunately, she did not really fall so badly that it would cause premature labor. However, he told her that she had to rest well from now on and that she could not fall or bump into anything else. After confirming that Anhao was fine, Lin Qing finally let her go to the ward above. Seeing Ann ¡®float¡¯ into the elevator like a ghost, Lin Qing was still worried as he followed her and turned to the driver,¡±¡±Give Mobai a call and tell him that President Zuo is back.¡± The driver was still a little confused. He was a very experienced driver in Shengling Group, but he had heard too much about President Zuo¡¯s disappearance. Now that he suddenly saw President Zuo return, he still could not digest the news. After a long time, he took out his phone with a blank face. Lin Qing accompanied Anhao to take the elevator upstairs and rushed to the treatment area where D and the others were. At first, they were forbidden from entering by the doctor. D turned around and saw them. He went forward to explain their identities before he was finally allowed in. Anhao felt as if she had fallen into a dream when she was in the elevator just now. Now that she saw D, she finally woke up and quickly walked up to him.¡±Where is Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°Inside.¡± D said as he looked at Anhao. He realized that although her belly was so big, she didn¡¯t look fat at all. Instead, she looked much thinner. D, who was a tough guy, finally softened his gaze when he saw Anhao like this. His voice also softened a little.¡±Mrs. Zuo, you fell just now. Are you okay?¡± Anhao shook her head.¡± I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine. My body has always been in good condition. I¡¯ve been exercising every day for so long. Although I fell just now, the baby in my stomach is as tenacious as Zuo Hancheng. I¡¯m fine. As long as Zuo Hancheng is fine, I¡¯ll be even better!¡±¡± Anhao was actually still a little incoherent¡­ D nodded and looked back at the isolated ward. Then, he said,¡±Although Mr. Zuo¡¯s current physical condition still requires further treatment, his life is definitely saved. Mrs. Zuo, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Is he seriously injured? It¡¯s already been so long and you still need further treatment. Why did you keep it from me?¡± Anhao tried her best to stay calm and resist the urge to rush through the door to take another look at Zuo Hancheng. D looked at her for a while and nodded slowly.¡±Mr. Zuo originally didn¡¯t want you to know about the months of suffering and life and death he experienced in the United States, but fortunately, Mr. Zuo survived. Since he¡¯s back, Mrs. Zuo, you don¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡± Chapter 897 - Chapter 897: He Really Came Back (3) Chapter 897: He Really Came Back (3) Anhao instantly laughed, but she cried while laughing. Her tears kept falling as she raised her hand to wipe them away. Lin Qing walked over and took out a tissue to pass it to her. Anhao took the tissue and wiped her tears, but tears still fell after she wiped them clean. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and turned to look at the door that separated her and Zuo Hancheng. She sniffed and said,¡±¡±Who says there are no miracles in this world¡­Zuo Hancheng is my miracle¡­¡± D hid the smile and heartache in his eyes. Perhaps there really was a miracle. However, in order to achieve the miracle of standing in front of Anhao again, Mr. Zuo had experienced an unbearable pain when he was on the hospital bed for a few months with tubes and various medical equipment tubes inserted into his body. Perhaps only Mr. Zuo himself knew. Anhao did not know what kind of treatment Zuo Hancheng had received. D did not say much either. He only told her the truth again and again as if he was comforting her. Yes, Mr. Zuo was still alive. Yes, Mr. Zuo had returned. Yes, Mrs. Zuo¡¯s persistence had paid off. Yes, the child in your stomach would not be without a father. Anhao sat outside and waited, but her hand was tightly holding onto Lin Qing¡¯s hand. Lin Qing sat beside her and accompanied her, occasionally lifting his hand to hug Anhao. However, Lin Qing had already pinched her own¡¯s¡¯s ¡®a few times. She was afraid that she was dreaming. She didn¡¯t expect Anhao to be able to calm herself down even though she was agitated. She had thought that Anhao would let her pinch her just now. Lin Qing didn¡¯t know that Anhao¡¯s intense pain when she fell was more obvious than any other pain. It also reminded her that everything in front of her wasn¡¯t a dream. She only squeezed Lin Qing¡¯s hand tightly and stared at the door not far away from D. It was quiet inside. She did not know how long it would take for Zuo Hancheng to come out, but as long as he was alive, she could wait. Footsteps could be heard from not far away. Lin Qing turned around and saw Mobai rushing over from the company meeting. He immediately stood up and pointed at Anhao beside him. Then, he pointed in D¡¯s direction and the noodles inside. ¡°Inside?¡± Mobai asked. Lin Qing nodded. Mobai quickly walked over and stood behind D. After the two men exchanged glances, Mobai finally felt that the dust had settled. Mo Bai turned around and walked up to Anhao. Before he could say anything, Anhao had already opened her mouth. ¡°You already knew, didn¡¯t you?¡± Anhao slowly raised her head and looked at him.¡±¡±You knew long ago that he was still alive. You once said that if I didn¡¯t want to face reality and wanted to wait, then I could continue to wait. You said that one day, my dream would come true.¡± This was not a question, but a tone of certainty. Mobai sighed softly. It seemed that Anhao was just holding back her temper. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that she didn¡¯t have enough energy to get up and beat her up, he would probably be pushed into a corner by this girl right now. Forget it, President Zuo is back. Even if she wants to settle the score, there will be someone who can stop her. Mobai curled his lips.¡± Anhao, your wait has paid off. I think you should focus more on President Zuo when you¡¯re so happy.¡±¡± Anhao suddenly stood up and made an expression as if she wanted to beat him up. Mobai didn¡¯t retreat, but he looked at her with a calm smile. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you tell me? D and I aren¡¯t particularly close. It¡¯s fine if D doesn¡¯t tell me, but why didn¡¯t you tell me? You and Lin Qing have been watching me suffer for so many months. Every night, I feel like I can¡¯t live anymore at home alone. You all clearly know, but you didn¡¯t tell me when you saw me so sad!¡± Anhao¡¯s red eyes: Why don¡¯t you tell me! Tell me!¡± Mobai sighed.¡±If you weren¡¯t pregnant and didn¡¯t have the motivation to live well, I¡¯m afraid I would have sent someone to monitor you 24/7, just in case you took things too hard.¡± But you¡¯re really strong after you got pregnant. But when you came back from America, you went through too much trauma, so you couldn¡¯t go through any more trouble. In order to let you recuperate in A City steadily, I didn¡¯t tell you about President Zuo¡¯s news.¡± Anhao looked at him hesitantly. She could tell that it was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s own idea to hide the fact that he was still alive. ¡°Maybe you should ask President Zuo yourself when he¡¯s discharged.¡±Mobai decided to cast aside the responsibility. President Zuo had returned anyway, so he could relax a little for the time being. The responsibility on his shoulders was instantly relieved. Anhao stared at him but didn¡¯t say anything else. When Zuo Hancheng got out of the car, D had wanted to help him up, but Zuo Hancheng had rejected him. She remembered that scene. Zuo Hancheng must have been exhausted when he got out of the car. D also said that the flight that lasted for more than ten hours had exceeded Zuo Hancheng¡¯s physical capacity. Therefore, his physical condition should still be slowly recovering, but he had not fully recovered. It had been almost eight months since the big explosion at the American farm. He was still so weak after eight months. What kind of life and death struggle had he experienced before? Anhao didn¡¯t question anyone else. She just looked at Mobai in front of her. When Mobai gave her a comforting smile, Anhao suddenly bent down slightly. However, her stomach was too big, and bending down was a little strenuous. Lin Qing quickly supported her, but her actions surprised Lin Qing and Mobai. ¡°Thank you, Mobai, thank you¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s eyes were red as she nodded at him.¡±¡±If it weren¡¯t for you and Lin Qing taking care of me for so long and encouraging me to stay by my side, I might not have made it to where I am today. Thank you¡­¡± Lin Qing¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. Mobai looked at her quietly for a while before chuckling,¡±¡±No need to thank me. You can ask President Zuo to allow me to take a year and a half off. Let me go out and relax for a while.¡± Anhao broke into a smile.¡± I¡¯m the boss of Shengling Group now. I call the shots. You can take as long as you want. You don¡¯t need his permission.¡±¡± Mobai immediately returned her greeting like a young man with a pale face. He cupped his hands and said,¡±Thank you, President An!¡± Anhao looked at Mobai with a wide smile. When she turned to look at D, she saw D standing in the corridor in front of them. He was looking back at them because of the commotion. Anhao smiled gratefully at D. No matter what D was hiding, at least D had brought her out of the fire, D had sent her back to A City, and A had been by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side for so long. Chapter 898 - Chapter 898: He Really Came Back (4) Chapter 898: He Really Came Back (4) Two days later, Zuo Hancheng was finally sent to the VIP ward after he had undergone the communication and follow-up treatment between the hospitals in the United States and the United States. He was finally allowed to be visited by people other than the medical staff. Anhao had been forcefully sent back to the Gilt Scenic Garden by Lin Qing and Mo Bai yesterday, but she couldn¡¯t fall asleep. It was only after midnight that she managed to fall asleep. She woke up very early in the morning, and before she got into the car and rushed to the hospital, she even changed into clothes that she thought looked good. The medical staff in the ward gradually retreated, which meant that she could go in and see Zuo Hancheng. Anhao tidied her hair outside the ward and turned to look at Lin Qing.¡±¡±Do my clothes look good? Wouldn¡¯t her belly be too big and affect her appearance? This is the slimmest one out of all the maternity dresses in my closet. How is it? Does it look good?¡± Lin Qingtan smiled and pushed her to the door of the ward.¡±¡±Even if you¡¯re wearing tattered clothes now, President Zuo won¡¯t think you look bad. You definitely didn¡¯t sleep well last night. Hurry up and go in. We¡¯ve given you all the opportunity and time to visit President Zuo. The doctor said that the visiting time can¡¯t exceed an hour. Hurry up and go in¡­¡± Anhao was pushed straight into the ward. The door of the ward opened and closed beside her. Because the heater in the hospital was very strong, she did not wear a coat. She was only wearing an aqua blue pregnant wool dress. It was very loose. If one did not look at her stomach, she still looked very thin. The nervousness she had before entering the room disappeared the moment she saw the person on the hospital bed. Anhao only felt that she was able to see Zuo Hancheng again. This kind of surprise and feeling of being pitied by the heavens could not be described with words. Zuo Hancheng had long heard Anhao¡¯s question to Lin Qing from outside the ward. It was only when Anhao was pushed in and their eyes met that Anhao¡¯s eyes turned red. She floated to the bedside with a soul-like expression. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was under an injection. Although his face was pale, he looked much better than the day he got out of the car and walked towards her. She stood by the bed and stared at his face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I just came back, and you want to kill me with your eyes?¡±Zuo Hancheng smiled gently. His smile was gentle, but there was a warmth that only belonged to him in his pale face. Anhao suddenly stretched out a finger and poked his face. Zuo Hancheng was speechless. After poking her, she poked her again. Zuo Hancheng frowned. After the second and third poke, Anhao¡¯s eyes turned redder and redder. Just as she was about to continue poking, Zuo Hancheng raised his hand that was not pricked and held hers. There was a gentle and teasing smile in his eyes.¡±Stop poking me. I promise that I¡¯m the real Zuo Hancheng.¡± Anhao immediately burst into tears. She hugged her stomach and squatted beside the bed, burying her head between her knees and her stomach as she wailed. Zuo Hancheng had never expected that at this moment of reunion, she would cry like a child instead of turning into a tearful person like in Qiong Yao¡¯s drama. She would hug her huge belly and squat there in a rather strange position, crying her heart out. He sighed lightly. It seemed that he had really made this girl wait for too long. ¡°Anhao.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not good for the child to continue crying like this,¡± he said softly. Anhao held back her tears and squatted there, twitching. She had only vented half of her emotions when she stood up with a bag of tears in her eyes. With her big belly, she leaned closer to the bed and said while sobbing,¡±Then, touch it. The baby heard your voice. He¡¯s moving.¡± Zuo Hancheng was stunned. He had known about Anhao¡¯s pregnancy a long time ago. Now that her stomach was right in front of her, he had thought of coming back to hear about the baby in her stomach or to touch her stomach when no one was around. However, everything had become a reality. Zuo Hancheng realized that he would also feel uneasy sometimes. ¡°Go ahead and touch him. We¡¯ve been waiting for you for so long. It¡¯s not easy for you to come back, but you didn¡¯t even touch him. Do you want the baby in my stomach to get depression?¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his hand and slowly placed it on her stomach. As soon as he touched her stomach, he felt the little thing inside kicking around with all its might. In an instant, a gentle emotion filled Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes. His hand gently caressed her round stomach, and the paleness on his face seemed to have brightened up a lot in an instant. Feeling his hand on her stomach, Anhao suddenly burst into tears again. This time, she was lying on the bed and crying. Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao, who used to dislike crying in front of him, but now she cried like it was a normal thing. He patted her head helplessly.¡±Don¡¯t cry¡­¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m too emotional. I need to vent. Let me cry for a while more¡­¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Hancheng continued to caress her head and smiled.¡±¡±Do you want to save up all your tears for the past eight months and cry for me to see?¡± Anhao shook her head as she cried, then nodded again. Her sobs carried a strong desire to vent her emotions. ¡°Be good, don¡¯t cry. Your throat is about to go hoarse from crying¡­¡± ¡°Anhao¡­Be obedient¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s cries became louder and louder. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand gently caressed the back of her head and finally landed on her back, patting her gently. Outside the ward, Lin Qing, Mo Bai, and D looked at each other. Anhao¡¯s exaggerated cries could be heard through the door of the ward. From time to time, Anhao¡¯s cries and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s helpless coaxing could be heard. It seemed like Anhao was going to cry for the next hour. ¡°Let her cry¡± Mobai said softly,¡± She¡¯s been holding it in for too long. She¡¯s been trying her best to control herself. Perhaps people can hold it in when they¡¯re at their saddest, but once they realize that those sadness have passed, the lingering fear will devour her. Since she¡¯s planning to cry in front of President Zuo now, it¡¯s probably because President Zuo can¡¯t do anything to her now.¡±¡± ¡°Woo¡­ Left¡­Zuo Hancheng¡­You¡¯re not allowed to¡­ Don¡¯t be so¡­ You scared me¡­¡± The sound of sobbing came from the ward. ¡°.. Alright, I won¡¯t do it again in the future.¡± Zuo Hancheng coaxed her gently. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed¡­Again¡­ And then leave¡­I¡­ And¡­ And the baby¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s my fault that I won¡¯t abandon you guys again. It¡¯s all my fault¡­Don¡¯t cry¡­¡± ¡°At that time¡­ Did you read all those emails?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Woo¡­ You¡¯re too despicable¡­You didn¡¯t tell me that you were still alive, but you peeked at the love letters I sent you every day¡­Wu¡­¡± ¡°Why did you stop posting?¡± Anhao continued to sob. I thought your account was hacked¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng: ¡± Grow¡­¡± Chapter 899 - Chapter 899: Dear Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 899: Dear Zuo Hancheng (1) The doctor said that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s recovery was much better than expected. Because Zuo Hancheng had been very cooperative with the treatment, after returning to the country, he could go home to recuperate after a month of intensive care in the hospital. During this month, Anhao was forbidden from staying in the hospital. After all, it was winter, and the hospital was crowded with people with all kinds of flu viruses. No one wanted to take care of a pregnant woman who had accidentally caught a cold while taking care of Zuo Hancheng. In order not to cause trouble for everyone, Anhao really tried her best to restrain her desire to go to the hospital. In the first few days, after she came back from the company, she secretly went to the hospital. In the end, she was banned by D and Mobai a few days later. Moreover, in order to help Zuo Hancheng recover faster, the hospital had been holding frequent consultations with local and foreign specialists and various monitoring and treatment measures. There were many times when she could not see Zuo Hancheng even if she went to the hospital. A week later, Anhao could only obediently continue her two-point life of going to the company from Liujing Garden and then going back to Liujing Garden from the company. But even though this life was no different from a few months ago, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. Her world regained its brightness, and everything seemed to be full of vigor. However, apart from calling Zuo Hancheng every day when he was still in the ward, Anhao would also open her email and wait for Mr. V to come online. At night, Anhao was obediently drinking the especially nutritious milk powder for pregnant women. As she drank, she saw a small green dot behind an email on the computer screen. She immediately rushed over, picked up the computer, opened the person¡¯s name and the dialog box in the email, and started typing. ¡°Are you back in the ward? How was the treatment today? It¡¯s one day closer to the day you can come home to recuperate. I feel like this month is longer than ever.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s email was online, but he did not reply. Anhao stared at Mr. V¡¯s name on her laptop in confusion and continued typing: ¡°Hello, is anyone there?¡± After about ten minutes, Zuo Hancheng finally replied. ¡°I just turned on the computer after I returned to the ward and went to take a shower.¡± Anhao¡¯s mouth twitched,[Do you think we¡¯re dating online?]¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°They won¡¯t let me go to the hospital to see you every day. You don¡¯t agree with me going to the hospital often either. Every day, other than the phone, I can only use the email to talk to you. Then, I have to constantly imagine what you¡¯re doing over there through the computer. Isn¡¯t this an online relationship?¡± ¡°Ha¡­¡± Anhao immediately rolled her eyes at the computer screen. It was one thing for her to speak concisely, but she typed so little. ¡°I¡¯ve received so many love letters and diary emails from you for the past few months. Now that it¡¯s turned into a relationship mode, what do you think we should do next?¡± ¡°Why? Is it because we got married too suddenly? Do you want to return the steps of love that you missed to me one by one?¡± ¡°If you like, of course.¡± Anhao suddenly smiled sweetly. She sat on the sofa and leaned back with some difficulty. She rubbed her round belly with one hand and typed with the other hand,¡±¡±The next step should be a date, holding hands, kissing, and¡­¡± She typed an ellipsis. ¡°What else?¡± This time, Zuo Hancheng recovered very quickly. Anhao grinned at the screen.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t even injure a critical part of your body. Are you underestimating me?¡± ¡°About that, let¡¯s change the topic.¡± Anhao giggled and typed,¡±I¡¯m still pregnant. Let¡¯s skip this topic first.¡± ¡± ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll continue after you give birth.¡± Anhao¡¯s fingers paused on the keyboard for a long time before she immediately rolled her eyes and jabbed her fingers on the keyboard.¡±Continue what? After you go home, rest well. You¡¯re not allowed to do anything! Also, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You are not allowed to move when I don¡¯t let you move. You have to listen to me!¡± There was a minute of silence on the other end. Anhao held her laptop and waited. Finally, he said,¡±¡±Depends on the situation.¡± ¡± What do you mean by depending on the situation? Zuo Hancheng, get this straight. I¡¯m the one taking care of you now. I work so hard every day at the company, and I even work with such a big belly. You lie in the hospital every day for treatment, injections, and chatting with beautiful doctors and nurses. The day just passes by like that. I¡¯m taking care of you. If you don¡¯t listen to me, I¡¯ll kick you out of the house.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± The smile on Anhao¡¯s face instantly disappeared.¡±¡±Can you not laugh? Huang Amao and the others said. Hehe was one of the most annoying words.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°Haha!¡± ¡°Hah.¡± Just one word? Ha your sister! Anhao was angry and amused as she hugged her laptop and leaned her head against the back of the sofa. Even though there was a screen between them, she felt that happiness was gradually returning to her side. She smiled as she watched the conversation between her and Zuo Hancheng on the screen. She really wished that she could appear at the hospital right now or that he would return home immediately. Although this kind of communication through the computer made her heart itch with anticipation, she still wanted a Zuo Hancheng that she could see, touch, and hug. Anhao picked up a pillow and hugged it in her arms, mourning for her pitiful self. Initially, she had planned to let him rest after chatting for a while. However, after a moment of silence on the screen, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s message suddenly popped up in front of her. ¡°You didn¡¯t tell the Zuo family about your pregnancy?¡± ¡°No, can¡¯t we go back and scare them after giving birth?¡± ¡°The An family doesn¡¯t know either?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t even tell the Zuo family, so how could I tell the An family? I don¡¯t want to acknowledge them anymore.¡± After that, Anhao rested her chin on one hand and continued to wait for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s reply. She reckoned that he would definitely say something about the An family. After all, there were still many things that Old Master An had not explained and resolved before the incident. Anhao waited for a while and saw that Zuo Hancheng did not reply. She was about to ask him if he wanted to rest, but before she could type, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen of her phone and saw that it was Zuo Hancheng¡¯s number. She immediately turned off the computer and picked up the phone. Then, she drank a mouthful of milk powder to moisten her throat and quickly put the phone to her ear. ¡± Are you still looking at the computer?¡± ¡°Uh¡­No, I¡¯m afraid of radiation. When you didn¡¯t say anything, I put the computer far away.¡±Anhao said as she quickly retreated from the computer. ¡°You don¡¯t plan to continue to resolve the An family¡¯s matter?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve given up on investigating my background. Anyway, I already know who my parents are. It doesn¡¯t matter to me whether I know the truth about being abandoned and their past.¡± Chapter 900 - Chapter 900: Dear Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 900: Dear Zuo Hancheng (2) ¡°Mr. Arel doesn¡¯t plan to meet him?¡± ¡°No.¡± Anhao¡¯s tone was firm. ¡°After all, the An family and the Zuo family are family friends. If you want to interrogate the truth about your background, the Zuo family can pull strings. You don¡¯t have to go back and face it directly.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng, I remember you once said that it¡¯s good to be a little muddle-headed at times. You¡¯re talking about my background, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then you see, I don¡¯t intend to interrogate or pursue the matter anymore. So what if that Mr. Arel is really my father? So what if he wants to acknowledge me as his daughter? In the end, in the 24 years that I was born in this world, I didn¡¯t exist in his world, and he didn¡¯t exist in my world. I lived in two parallel worlds with people, and the only connection between us was this layer of blood relationship. However, in the 24 years that I was born, I couldn¡¯t call a man who didn¡¯t know of my existence a father, just like how I couldn¡¯t call Anping a mother now.¡± At this moment, there seemed to be someone else talking on the other end of the phone. It sounded like a doctor had entered the ward. Anhao continued,¡±¡±I¡¯ll slowly digest this matter. You don¡¯t have to think so much about me. Take care of your body first and return my healthy husband to me.¡± She then heard Zuo Hancheng¡¯s faint laughter. Anhao also laughed as she held the phone.¡±Although I really want to talk to you on the phone, I hope that you can rest more.¡± ¡°Okay, you should sleep early. A month won¡¯t be long. I¡¯ll go back soon, okay?¡± The last note was very light, but it tickled Anhao¡¯s heart. She smiled sweetly, and her voice was like a kitten that had been coaxed.¡±Alright ~¡± After hanging up the phone, Anhao went back to her computer and saw that the small green dot behind Mr. V¡¯s email had turned gray. The doctor had probably limited his time to look at electronic products again. Tsk, for the past few days after Zuo Hancheng returned, why did he feel like he and she were two internet addicted teenagers who were being disciplined by their parents? He couldn¡¯t make a phone call for too long every day, and there was a time limit for him to use his email to chat online. Ah¡­ Time should pass quickly! ***** ¡°Anhao has been so happy recently. Those who don¡¯t know better would think that you¡¯re in love again.¡± Mobai¡¯s teasing made Anhao, who was signing documents behind her desk, raise her head and glance at him. ¡°You¡¯re in a relationship, and I don¡¯t see you looking so happy. You¡¯re so calm every day as if you¡¯re not in love. If it weren¡¯t for the little traces of happiness on our Maomao¡¯s face, I would have suspected that the two of you were not together.¡±Anhao teased back. Mobai chuckled as he walked over and placed the files in his hands on her desk. He then looked at Anhao¡¯s uncomfortable sitting posture.¡±Your stomach is already so big. Lin Qing has started to gradually reduce your work recently. You have to rest well for a few days before your due date.¡± Anhao gently stroked her belly and smiled.¡±¡±It¡¯s okay. If you¡¯re busy at the company, time will pass faster. Otherwise, this month will be too torturous.¡± ¡°Are you in a hurry to wait for President Zuo to return home?¡± ¡°Of course. Liu Jing Garden is such a big house, and it¡¯s even a two-story house. I suffered alone in there for eight months. Eight months. Do you know how much I hate living there alone?¡± Mobai smiled.¡± President Zuo really cares about your feelings. He has brought forward his return trip by at least a year. He has already tried his best to reduce your wait. Even if the fatigue of the journey back to China can easily cause his body to overload and hurt, he still came back.¡± Anhao¡¯s hand that was holding the pen paused for a moment. She lowered her gaze and continued to look at the document in front of her. However, her mouth seemed to inadvertently say,¡±¡±At that time¡­How did he survive? The explosion that shook the entire United States, and everyone else¡¯s bones were gone. He was the only one who survived. At that time, you didn¡¯t tell me that he was still alive. Was it because he was seriously injured at that time, and you didn¡¯t dare to let me see him?¡± Mobai looked at her and saw that Anhao had deliberately lowered her head to hide the heartache in her eyes. He knew that she had already guessed those things. In her heart, she was already prepared to accept the pain of the past that she did not dare to face. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very serious.¡± Mobai replied,¡± I heard that he had to endure for five months on the brink of death before he finally managed to keep his life. However, it can be considered a miracle in the medical field. After all, not many people can endure for five months like that.¡±¡± Anhao lowered her head and looked at the documents without raising her head. Her eyes were already red and her heart was throbbing with pain. She said in a muffled voice,¡±¡±Even if it¡¯s serious, it can¡¯t compare to the feeling of being separated from life and death. Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Mobai was silent for a moment before saying softly,¡±¡± During that period, President Zuo¡¯s breathing was intermittent, and his heart would even go into cardiac arrest a few times a day. Every day and every hour, the doctors were on the verge of emergency treatment and saving his life. No one could be sure if he could really survive. We don¡¯t want you to suffer a second injury. After all, if you keep holding on to expectations, if President Zuo doesn¡¯t make it in the end, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to take it anymore.¡± Anhao could not imagine what kind of pain Zuo Cheng had to go through at that time, but when she went to visit him in the hospital a few days ago, he was still so gentle and indulgent to her. When he smiled, he was no different from before, as if he had never gone through the intense treatment that hurt his bones. It was as if the few months he was missing was just a minor illness. He acted so nonchalantly in front of her that Anhao did not dare to ask him how he spent those few months. Now, it seemed that even if she really asked, Zuo Hancheng would not tell her all this. ¡°Actually, President Zuo should continue his treatment in the United States for a while. There are also a few more serious external injuries on his body that need to be repaired and repaired. However, he came back early, so all the follow-up treatment can only be done in China. However, many medical equipment and the most professional doctors have been brought over from the United States. There is no need to worry about the follow-up treatment.¡± Seeing that Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, Mobai walked over and placed his hands on the desk. He lowered his head and looked at her lowered head.¡±¡±The reason why I can tell you this so calmly now is because President Zuo has already endured it. It won¡¯t be long before his body recovers. Anhao, people have to look forward. President Zuo actually doesn¡¯t want you to know about this.¡± ¨C Chapter 901 - Chapter 901: Dear Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 901: Dear Zuo Hancheng (3) Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. In the end, she used a pen to sign the document in front of her. The last stroke was a little ruthless, as if she was suppressing her emotions. After she finished writing, she looked up. The redness in her eyes had already disappeared. She smiled at Mobai.¡±Mobai, thank you.¡± Mobai chuckled.¡± I¡¯m telling you this because I believe that you know how to digest all of this, Anhao. It¡¯s fair to not hide it from you, but the pain is over. If you feel bad and your heart aches too much, just wait for President Zuo to come back from the hospital and take good care of him. The vice president and I can still hold on a little longer at the company. We¡¯re all waiting for President Zuo to return just like you.¡±¡± Anhao nodded, and her smile deepened.¡± I don¡¯t think I¡¯m suited to be a company executive. The pressure is too great. I don¡¯t know how Zuo Hancheng can handle it when he¡¯s always so calm.¡±¡± ¡°A person in a high position is destined to have the burden of being in a high position. As the president, the responsibility and burden on President Zuo¡¯s shoulders have never been small. However, when I talked to President Zuo about this that day, President Zuo even said that he did not expect you to have the courage to come to the company to face those old foxes here. He even said that your courage is commendable.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you praise me in front of me?¡±Anhao held her chin with one hand and spun a pen with the other.¡±¡±It¡¯s fun to fight with others. Those old foxes don¡¯t dare to do anything to me anyway. I feel that I already want to occupy this position of President An and don¡¯t want to come down.¡± ¡°I think President Zuo would be happy to let you raise him.¡±¡± ***** A month later¡­ ¡°Zuo Hancheng.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng ~¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng!¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± It had been two to three days since Zuo Hancheng came back from the hospital. Anhao still liked to stand in front of the bedroom door and lean against it, staring at his face and calling his name non-stop. Zuo Hancheng had already gotten used to her calling style, which sounded like she was summoning a soul. He glanced at her and said,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°What should I do? I feel like I¡¯m still living in a dream¡­¡± Anhao floated to the side of the bed again like a wandering soul. She reached out and poked his face. Then, she sat on the side of the bed and stared at him.¡±Zuo Hancheng, Zuo Hancheng, Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and rubbed his forehead.¡±How much time do you need to digest the news that I¡¯m still alive? Do you want me to disappear for a few more months and let you slowly pass?¡± ¡°No!¡± Anhao hurriedly reached out to grab his hand and stuffed her small hand into his palm. As he held it back, she smiled and said,¡±I just want to call your name. I feel that every time I call your name, I feel a little happier.¡± As she spoke, she raised her hand and brought his hand to her cheek. She used her small face to gently rub the back of his warm hand.¡±That¡¯s great. Your hands aren¡¯t so cold anymore. They all said that you¡¯re recovering well. It seems like it¡¯s true.¡± Zuo Hancheng allowed her to rub his hand like a kitten. He smiled faintly as he looked at her coquettish look as she sat by the bed.¡±¡± I just took some medicine and need to rest for two hours. After that, I promise I can carry you from here to Shengling Group and back from the company. I can walk back and forth ten times without any problem.¡± ¡°You should forget about it. My stomach is so big and I¡¯ve accidentally gained ten pounds recently. I¡¯m afraid that your body, which has just recovered a little, will be overworked again.¡±Anhao pressed her face against his hand, feeling his warmth.¡±¡±I swear, I will make you fat again within two months.¡± ¡°Am I very thin now?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°You¡¯re indeed a little thinner than before. It must be because the food in the hospital is too bad. From today onwards, the company has officially given me a holiday. I don¡¯t have to go to the company anymore, so before you give birth, I¡¯ll be in charge of everything. I guarantee that you¡¯ll gain weight back!¡± As Anhao spoke, she suddenly reached out and touched Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face. Her actions made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s handsome eyebrows twitch slightly. ¡°And your complexion. I have to stew some things to replenish your qi and blood for you.¡± As she spoke, she continued to poke his face twice.¡±Did you get plastic surgery, Zuo Hancheng?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± What plastic surgery?¡± ¡°Why do I feel like you look better than before? Did the doctor help you with plastic surgery because you were injured in the explosion?¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and laughed, raised his hand, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head, grabbed her head,¡±Your husband is lucky that his face is not injured.¡± ¡°But why do I feel that you¡¯ve become more handsome again?¡±Anhao continued to move closer to him, her little head moving closer to his eyes, obviously wanting to take advantage of him. Zuo Hancheng sighed softly and glanced at her belly. In the end, he temporarily gave up the desire to prove his physical strength and ability to relieve himself in front of her. He only leaned over and kissed the tip of her nose.¡±My due date is in a few weeks. Don¡¯t tire yourself out. I¡¯m just temporarily in poor health and need to rest.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Just now, you secretly went to the study to review the documents that I signed.¡±¡±What?¡± Anhao asked as she raised her eyebrows. Mobai told you that I¡¯ve been taking charge of the company for the past few months, but you still don¡¯t believe me, do you?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her and chuckled. He lifted his arms and hugged her. Anhao did not expect him to suddenly hug her. After all, ever since he came back, he had been hospitalized and isolated. They had not even had excessive physical contact until now. In the end, she staggered and fell into his arms, allowing Zuo Hancheng to hug her like this. She felt his kiss fall on her hairline, on her forehead, and finally on the corner of her eye. His voice was warm and mellow as he sighed softly in her ear. ¡± Your adaptability is much better than I thought. If you¡¯re willing, you can directly become the president of the Shengling Group. I¡¯ll just wait at home for my wife to give me money to spend every day.¡± ¡°Why? Did Mobai tell you what I told him?¡±Anhao suddenly twisted in his arms, but Zuo Hancheng held her tightly. She did not really break free. In the end, she just leaned into his arms and whispered,¡±¡± Even if you plan to throw Shengling Group to me like a toy, I still have to be responsible for the livelihood of so many employees in Shengling Group. I don¡¯t want to take on this kind of porcelain work. If I go bankrupt later, hundreds of thousands of employees will lose their jobs.¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her shoulder gently.¡±¡±You¡¯re becoming more and more open-minded, and you know how to be responsible for your employees ¡®livelihood.¡± Chapter 902 - Chapter 902: Dear Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 902: Dear Zuo Hancheng (4) ¡°You¡¯re mocking me again¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was soft as she leaned against his chest. She closed her eyes and rubbed her head against his chest.¡±What should I do, Zuo Hancheng? I have a feeling that I want to stay at home with you and hug you like this every day.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and brushed his hand across the tip of her nose.¡±Then keep hugging.¡± ¡°Aiya, aiya, quickly touch it.¡± Anhao suddenly pulled his hand down and placed it on her stomach.¡±¡±I don¡¯t know what kind of martial arts this little thing has been practicing in my stomach recently. He¡¯s been moving around happily every day. Moreover, whenever you speak, he¡¯ll move even more happily, as if he knows that Daddy is back.¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her stomach and caressed it gently and slowly. He could feel the little thing¡¯s movements as if it was punching and kicking her in her stomach. He laughed.¡±Just as naughty as you.¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him.¡± Other than the rebellious period that I extended to twenty years old, when have I ever been naughty?¡± Also, the amount of exercise in my stomach every day is so great that I suspect that it¡¯s a boy. I originally thought that I was pregnant with a girl. Some time ago, when I went out to shop at a maternity store, I even bought a lot of pink clothes. Now, it seems that I have to return them and change the color¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same for boys and girls.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand was still on her stomach, and his other hand was still holding her. He planted a kiss on the top of her head and said,¡±¡±The first few months of your pregnancy were difficult for you. I wasn¡¯t able to be by your side.¡± Anhao leaned into his arms and closed her eyes to enjoy the feeling of finally being able to return to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace. She shook her head firmly.¡±When I was vomiting every day, you were fighting on the line of life and death in order to return to my side. Now that you¡¯re back, I only feel that God has been kind to me. How could he blame you?¡± ¡°It seems that Mobai didn¡¯t just tell me about you, he also didn¡¯t keep his mouth shut about me.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. I realized that Mobai used to be a very calm person. Ever since he fell in love, he started to become a chatterbox. He ran to you and snitched on me, and he also snitched on you when he came to me.¡± ¡°Mobai is in love?¡± Zuo Hancheng asked suddenly. ¡°Yeah.¡± Anhao raised her head and looked at him.¡± It can¡¯t be. Zuo Hancheng, who seems to know everything at the first moment, actually has something he doesn¡¯t know.¡±¡± ¡°In the past eight months, I handed you over to him. How could he have the time to think about other things? Who is he in love with?¡± ¡°.. Huang Amao!¡± Anhao laughed as she spoke. If Boss Zuo hadn¡¯t asked Mo Bai to take care of her and Mo Bai had asked Huang Amao to accompany her, the two of them probably wouldn¡¯t have been so close to each other. Zuo Hancheng definitely didn¡¯t think that he was the matchmaker who pulled the strings. When he heard that it was Huang Amao, Zuo Hancheng gave it some thought but did not say anything else. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Isn¡¯t Huang Amao good?¡± Anhao poked his shoulder twice.¡±¡±She and Chunchun are my best friends. If you dare to say anything bad about them, I won¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°She¡¯s a good girl, but her temper is even wilder than when you were nineteen.¡±¡±When we hold our wedding, call all your friends over.¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her shoulder lightly.¡± Anhao was shocked.¡± You still know that you owe me a wedding and a wedding photo?¡±¡± ¡°Why?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯ve been sad for a long time because of this. You didn¡¯t even leave me a photo before you left. What wedding? What wedding photo? You even confiscated my wedding ring. A few months ago, I even suspected that you were just an illusion. You don¡¯t exist in this world at all. Everything that happened in the past was just a dream.¡± Anhao raised her hand to show him.¡±¡±Then, what about the wedding ring? When do you plan to return it to me?¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled her hand down and kissed it.¡±¡±Good things are worth waiting for. What¡¯s the hurry?¡± ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry to completely possess you¡­¡± ¡°How thorough?¡± As the man spoke, his hand gently caressed her back, and he seemed to be wandering around with ill intentions. Anhao immediately gave him a sideways glance.¡± Hold it properly. Don¡¯t touch it randomly.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng was speechless. Knowing that it was not long before her due date, he helplessly placed his hand on her waist. Anhao felt that Zuo Hancheng was feeling a little wronged. She smiled and buried her head in his arms.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Was he not feeling good after being deprived of sex for too long? I think it¡¯ll take at least a month after I give birth¡­¡± As a result, the words were still not finished, and the back of his head was suddenly pressed down by a force. Zuo Hancheng had already kissed her chattering mouth directly, sucking on her lips, kissing gently and lingering, with endless longing. Anhao immediately leaned into his embrace and endured his gentle yet fierce kiss. This kiss seemed to cross the distance between life and death. It was as if all the longing and desire to touch, hug, and kiss each other for the past eight months had surged at this moment. .. At night, Anhao sneaked into the bedroom while Zuo Hancheng was asleep. She sat by the bed and quietly watched him sleep under the dim light of the wall lamp. She could not remember how long it had been since she had looked at Zuo Hancheng so carefully. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Anhao reached out her hand and gently stroked his eyebrows. She used a very, very gentle force to ensure that she wouldn¡¯t wake him up. Finally, she placed her fingers gently on his face, her fingertips touching his body temperature. Zuo Hancheng was still alive. He was truly alive in front of her. Although his body had not fully recovered, he was still alive. Anhao felt that she had been living in a daze for the past eight months. She had been stepping on the meager happiness and was afraid that everything would shatter. Her hand could hold his hand, she could breathe in his clean and refreshing scent, and he could hear his even breathing. Anhao smiled as she watched Zuo Hancheng sleep. Suddenly, she recalled the string of numbers and the password she had seen in the mailbox. Anhao held her hand gently and said in a very, very soft voice,¡±¡±Hubby, I love you too¡­¡± Suddenly, the hand that she was holding moved slightly and held her in his palm. Zuo Hancheng opened his eyes and looked at her with a smile.¡±You didn¡¯t sleep and came to my bed to confess in the middle of the night. Are you trying to make me unable to sleep?¡± Chapter 903 - Chapter 903: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (1) Chapter 903: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (1) ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sleeping¡­¡± Anhao¡¯s face instantly turned hot, but it was only for a moment of embarrassment. In an instant, she recovered her composure and directly pressed her face against his hand. She smiled and said,¡±I just couldn¡¯t sleep in the middle of the night, so I specially came over to confess.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled when he saw how calm she was. Seeing that Anhao had no intention of going back to sleep, he caressed her face gently and said gently,¡±¡±What time is it now?¡± Anhao turned her head and glanced at him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know the consequences of a pregnant woman staying up late?¡± Anhao giggled.¡± Alright, you¡¯ve only been back for a few days and you¡¯re already trying to control me in all sorts of ways. But I¡¯m so excited that I can¡¯t sleep. What should I do? You¡¯ve already returned to the Gilded Scenic Garden for three days, but I still can¡¯t find the feeling of being grounded¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed and patted the other side of the bed.¡±¡±Come up and hug you to sleep. Can you feel at ease like this?¡± ¡°My stomach is so big now. Will it press on your wound when I¡¯m not careful¡­¡± Anhao said that, but her eyes obviously glanced at the position beside him. In fact, she really wanted to lie down beside him. ¡°There are basically no wounds on his body now. If the external injuries haven¡¯t healed in eight months, how strong of a radiation did he suffer? Don¡¯t worry, there are no problems in all aspects now. He just needs to rest for a few months.¡±Zuo Hancheng said as he lifted the blanket. Anhao immediately got up and burrowed into his blanket. She lay down beside him and leaned her head on his shoulder with a triumphant look on her face.¡±Will it hurt if I lean on you like this?¡± ¡°No¡­Anhao, let me tell you again, after eight months of intensive treatment, I am gradually recovering in all aspects except for some weakness and I may not be able to return to the company temporarily. When I hold you, I will not be weak, and when you lean in my arms, I will not feel pain. The reason why I took so long to come back is that I have tried my best to recover to the best state. Don¡¯t treat me like a glass person, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice was so close to her ear. His voice was soft and low, but it was so gentle that it made An Hao drunk. She closed her eyes and buried her face in his arms.¡±I might indeed need some time to adapt. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll disappear when the wind blows. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll turn into a popped bubble when I touch you¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng held her in his arms and smiled faintly without saying anything.¡±¡±You¡¯re going to give birth soon. Where do you want to go recently? I¡¯ll accompany you to take a walk? ¡°Can you go out?¡± Anhao immediately raised her eyes and looked at him.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand caressed her head and his slender fingers ran through her soft hair. He lowered his head and planted a comforting kiss on her forehead.¡±Sure.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll call the doctor tomorrow to confirm. If the doctor says that you can go out and walk around, let¡¯s go to the seaside villa at the resort, okay, dear Mr. V?¡±Anhao chuckled and pressed her face against his chest. ¡°Alright.¡± Anhao closed her eyes and grabbed his arm with one hand. She whispered,¡±¡±Go to sleep. It feels so much more real in your arms.¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her back gently.¡±¡±Okay, sleep.¡± A few minutes later, Anhao¡¯s breathing gradually stabilized and she seemed to have fallen asleep. Zuo Hancheng continued to hug her and gently pulled his hand away from her. Just as he was about to pull the blanket up, Anhao suddenly looked as if she had just woken up from a dream and screamed,¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng!¡± Zuo Hancheng paused for a moment and quickly returned his hand to her side. He held her hand and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips.¡±I¡¯m here.¡± Anhao stared at him blankly for a while before she slowly closed her eyes again. Her hands were tightly held by his. In her half-awake state, she kept calling his name in his arms in a daze. ¡°Zuo Hancheng.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± When Anhao fell asleep again, Zuo Hancheng looked at Anhao, who was pregnant but still thin, in his arms with a gentle gaze. He did not let go of her hand but pulled her into his embrace. He kissed her gently by her ear and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±Anhao, I¡¯m here. Be good and sleep.¡± It seemed that it would take some time for Anhao to get rid of the lingering fear in her heart. How did she survive alone for the past eight months? If it wasn¡¯t for the child in her belly, she probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to persist until today. In the dark of the night, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s embrace was so real. Anhao turned over in his embrace, but she could still feel his hand resting on her hand. Anhao slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window at the snowy night. A smile slowly spread across her face. She had never felt that the love words in this world were so moving. None of these words could compare to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s ¡°I¡¯m here.¡±¡±It sounded so good. ****** The next morning, Anhao woke up to make breakfast. With a big belly and an apron, the little figure who was busy in the kitchen looked extremely happy. Lin Qing had also come early in the morning to deliver the documents. It was about the latest investment and reconstruction plans for the Construction Bureau and a few other places after the evening meeting last night. While Anhao was busy in the kitchen, Zuo Hancheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading the company documents. A fragrant smell wafted from the kitchen. Anhao¡¯s cooking skills were getting better and better. When she walked out of the window, she saw that Zuo Hancheng was looking at a few company documents, so she walked over curiously. ¡°Is it about the proposal from the Construction Bureau? I haven¡¯t been to the company these past two days, but I heard from Lin Qing and Mobai.¡±As she spoke, she leaned over and looked at the document in his hand. Zuo Hancheng suddenly put down the things in his hands and pulled Anhao, who was leaning over, to his side.¡±¡±For so long, you¡¯ve been cooking for yourself every day when you¡¯re pregnant? Why didn¡¯t you think about hiring two nannies to take care of you?¡± ¡°You said it a long time ago. If I can do it myself, there¡¯s no need to ask others to take care of me. Moreover, no matter how big my stomach is, it won¡¯t be ridiculously big.¡±As Anhao spoke, she picked up the company documents that he had just put down. After taking a closer look, she said,¡±Shengling Group has indeed been in close contact with the Construction Bureau for the past two years. Oh, right, Bai Weiwei has left her job. I heard that she and her parents have returned to Beijing to work.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know before. I only found out after I saw the signature of the person in charge on the document.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s answer was really flawless. However, he had been on the brink of death for so long. Even his wife and children had to wait eight months before they could come back to see him. How could he know about these changes that had nothing to do with him? Chapter 904 - Chapter 904: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (2) Chapter 904: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (2) Obviously, he had never intended to care about the Bai family and Bai Weiwei. Anhao put down the document and said,¡±¡±I still remember that when I met Director Bai and Madam Bai, Madam Bai kept looking at me strangely. At that time, you said that you would investigate the reason.¡± ¡°When she was young, she studied in New York and went to the same school as your mother, Anping. The results of my investigation show that Madam Bai and your mother used to be very close. However, your mother, Anping, suddenly dropped out of school and disappeared without a trace. Madam Bai has never known where she went.¡± As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he patted her shoulder lightly.¡±¡±So when she saw you, she felt that you looked a little similar to your mother, so she suspected your background for a moment.¡± Anhao had guessed that Madam Bai might know her mother, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be such a relationship. Now that she finally knew the reason, she didn¡¯t have to think about whether there was any relationship between her and the Bai family. However, for the current her, her background was no longer something worth considering. Right now, her entire world was occupied by Zuo Hancheng and the baby in her stomach. Anhao leaned back on the sofa, squinting her eyes as she enjoyed the hard-won life of being able to lean on Zuo Hancheng again. She placed one hand on her stomach and felt the baby in her stomach punching and kicking at a fixed time every day. She rubbed her stomach and laughed.¡±You¡¯re kicking me again¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her stomach at the same time. His eyes did not move, and his gaze did not change. He commented,¡±¡±You¡¯re jumping around. Do you want to come out early?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter even if she comes out early. It¡¯s almost thirty-eight weeks anyway. The doctor said that thirty-seven weeks is considered full-term and it¡¯s not considered premature labor anymore.¡± Anhao leaned her head on his shoulder.¡±It must be very ugly when you give birth. I heard that women are in a lot of pain when they give birth, and it hurts so much that their faces look hideous. So when I give birth, wait for me outside. Don¡¯t go in and accompany me during the birth. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to maintain my image or something¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng almost laughed out loud. He coughed and said,¡±¡±When have you ever had an image in front of me?¡± Anhao gave him a sidelong glance, but before she could protect her image, a burnt smell suddenly came from the kitchen. Zuo Hancheng looked back in the direction of the kitchen and said,¡±¡±What else did you do in the kitchen?¡± Anhao snapped back to her senses and quickly stood up to rush towards the kitchen.¡±¡±Aiya, I was just about to stir-fry a dish, but I forgot to add some water. It¡¯s probably already dry!¡± Anhao rushed into the kitchen. Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to his forehead and smiled as he looked at Anhao who was in the kitchen dealing with an emergency. He saw her anxious expression and smiled helplessly. ***** In the afternoon, Anhao called the doctor to get permission before she dared to go out with Zuo Hancheng. Although it was winter, there was no snow today. Moreover, the sun was shining brightly. The entire world was white, and the sunlight felt as if the entire world was brighter by another degree. After calling the company¡¯s chauffeur over, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng walked out of the Liujing Garden. The security guard at the entrance suddenly poked his head out of the security room and greeted them,¡±¡±Mister Zuo, when did you come back?¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded politely in the direction of the security room but did not answer. The young security guard did not dare to ask any more questions. However, when he saw Mr. Zuo and Mrs. Zuo walking out hand in hand, he still felt that he, a single dog, had been ruthlessly abused. They had been married for several years, and Mrs. Zuo was pregnant. However, they looked like they were in love. Before getting into the car, Zuo Hancheng glanced at the driver and then at Anhao. ¡°Why?¡± Anhao glanced at him,¡±Why are you suddenly looking at me?¡±¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t take the driver¡¯s license test in the past few months?¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone sounded gentle, but only Anhao could tell that he was teasing her. The corner of her mouth twitched.¡± I wanted to take the exam. Mobai and Lin Qing were afraid that I wouldn¡¯t be in a good state. They were also afraid that I would get into an accident while driving. That¡¯s why they didn¡¯t agree to let me take the exam. They said that they would only allow me to take the exam after I gave birth.¡± Zuo Hancheng nodded.¡± As expected, Mobai and Lin Qing already know you very well.¡±¡± ¡°Am I impetuous?¡± Anhao glared at him. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and got into the car. He turned around and looked at Anhao, who was sitting next to him.¡±Are you sure you can drive before I come back?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°There¡¯s no shortage of road killers like you in this world. If you want to learn, you can learn after giving birth.¡±As Zuo Hancheng spoke, he tugged the knitted scarf around Anhao¡¯s neck.¡±¡±The weather is cold. Be careful not to catch a cold.¡± Anhao, however, had a frustrated expression on her face. She looked in the direction of the car and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re underestimating me. Maybe I can really learn how to drive in the next few months. Or maybe I¡¯ll welcome the second spring of my life soon. Just like I said back then, I¡¯ll take your child and find a man to remarry or something.¡± ¡°Do you have a target?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Anhao said seriously. Zuo Hancheng glanced at her again and the smile in his eyes faded.¡±Who is it?¡± Anhao held back her laughter and stared at him. The two of them ignored the driver who was driving seriously in front of them and looked at each other for a long time until Anhao burst into laughter. She suddenly leaned her head on his shoulder and said with a smile,¡±His name is Mr. V.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked down at her coquettish expression.¡±¡±Is that so? It seems that this Mr. V is very bold. He dares to covet my woman.¡± ¡°Yes, that Mr. V often chats with me. I feel like we¡¯re in love. He once said that he was waiting for his wife to come back, but he didn¡¯t know at that time. After that, for a long time, his wife stayed where she was and waited. No matter what others said or did, she firmly believed that her Mr. V would definitely come back.¡± As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng had already raised his arm and put it on her shoulder.¡±¡±It sounds like his wife is very affectionate.¡± ¡°Yeah, his wife is very affectionate, and so is he. He even used that kind of digital password to confess. Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s very coquettish? If he wanted to confess, he could have just said it. It was so simple. Why did he have to let others guess?¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled softly and kissed the tip of her nose. Finally, he kissed her on the lips.¡±Did you unlock the password yourself, or did you read the email I saved?¡± Chapter 905 - Chapter 905: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (3) Chapter 905: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (3) Anhao couldn¡¯t hold back her anger.¡±I¡¯ve never thought of it that way¡­I never guessed¡­¡± It went without saying that Zuo Hancheng, who already knew the answer, sighed and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±Your IQ, Anhao. Why did I marry a woman like you?¡± ¡°So you gave me a primary school question and asked a high IQ person like me to solve it in all kinds of complicated ways, and it became a reason for me to mock my intelligence?¡± Anhao secretly pinched him through his clothes. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s expression did not change. He smiled and pulled her hands away from him when she was unhappy.¡±Be good, don¡¯t mess around.¡± The chauffeur who was in the driver¡¯s seat had a smile on his face when he heard the sounds of the couple fighting. Anhao saw that the chauffeur was smiling and her face turned red as she tried to pinch Zuo Hancheng.¡±I¡¯ve been the President An in the company for the past few months. In the blink of an eye, you¡¯ve mocked my intelligence. Do you still want me to support you in the future? Zuo Hancheng, let me tell you this. Your food, clothes, and accommodation are all mine now. If you dare to provoke me, I¡¯ll make you sleep on the streets tomorrow!¡± ¡°Are you planning to support me for the rest of my life?¡± ¡°I had this plan before, but now I have to reconsider.¡±Anhao turned her head away arrogantly. Zuo Hancheng smiled and did not say anything else. Anhao felt that there was a little silence beside her. She thought that Zuo Hancheng was angry, so she quietly turned around and saw that Zuo Hancheng was smiling casually. She did not know what he was waiting for. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Anhao asked as she turned around to check if he was feeling unwell. ¡°Would you turn around to look at me when I speak?¡± ¡°..¡±Anhao¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Dealing with women¡­You think I don¡¯t know how to play tricks?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled. Anhao didn¡¯t realize how despicable he was before. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, I have to tell you seriously, you¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo.¡± Before Anhao could finish her sentence, the chauffeur suddenly spoke. This call made Anhao turn her head away.¡± Left, what, total, ah, before, no, still, An, total, what?¡±¡± The driver was embarrassed. He wanted to ask Zuo Hancheng if he wanted to get off at Zone A or Zone B of the resort, but in the end, he chose to remain silent. He had an expression that said that he would not interfere in the matters between the two of them and drove the car directly to Zone B. After getting out of the car, Anhao did not laugh and joke with Zuo Hancheng anymore. After all, although the sun was bright today, they were close to the sea. The sea breeze in winter was very cold. After wrapping her coat and scarf around herself, she was about to turn around and help Zuo Hancheng tidy up his clothes. However, just as she turned around, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze fell on her small face that was instantly red from the cold. Zuo Hancheng raised his hand to help her pull up her scarf to cover her face. Anhao¡¯s hand was still in the air. She looked at the man who was taking care of her so naturally even though he was not feeling well. The emotions from the joke in the car disappeared in an instant, leaving only the reality of winter. The coldness in the air was real, and so was his warmth. ¡°Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± After Zuo Hancheng helped her adjust her scarf, he raised his hand and rubbed her head.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that the seaside villa is almost finished? Go in and take a look. Don¡¯t stand outside.¡± Anhao regained her senses and walked inside with Zuo Hancheng. As they walked, she watched his steady steps. It was as if she had just confirmed at this moment that he was not the air that would dissipate with a single blow, nor was he the fragile glass person she had imagined. He was as usual. Even in this cold snow, even with the cold sea breeze blowing, he still walked steadily. He was still by her side, a bright light for her. It had never changed. Anhao held his arm and stepped on the snow. Every step she took felt more real. When they were almost near the seaside villa, she asked,¡±Aren¡¯t you cold?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced sideways at her.¡± You wrapped so many layers of clothes around me before we left. How could I be cold?¡±¡± Oh, right¡­ Anhao looked up and down at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s coat. In the past, Zuo Hancheng would only wear a windbreaker during winter. He was always so elegant. However, she had forcefully wrapped him in several coats before he left the house today. No matter how tall and straight his body was, he was still wrapped like a long dumpling by her. Indeed, he would not feel cold¡­ Anhao smiled.¡± That¡¯s how Guo Dong looks like. You used to be so cool.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng was too lazy to retort. However, even though he was wearing a few coats, he still looked handsome when he stood beside her. He did not look uncomfortable at all. It was as if no matter whether he was wearing a windbreaker, fur coat, down jacket, or straw wadding, it was still difficult to hide his unique aura. Walking into the villa, although the renovation of the villa was not completely completed, the renovation of the ground was the first to be completed. In order to take care of the safety of the people who often came here to inspect, the workers had first finished the geothermal heat here. Therefore, even if the villa was still a little messy before the completion of the project, it was very warm. ¡°That, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that,¡± Anhao ran around the villa like a little swallow, introducing her unique designs. When she received Zuo Hancheng¡¯s praise, she happily pulled him upstairs. ¡°Then, you told me to leave a children¡¯s room on the second floor. Although I did leave the children¡¯s room, the baby is about to be born. We should stay in the Gilt Scenic Garden first. We¡¯ll move over when the baby¡¯s first birthday is over, okay?¡± ¡°As you wish.¡± Zuo Hancheng stood in the children¡¯s room designed by Anhao and looked out the window at the beach. At the same time, he looked at the swing that looked brand new in the snow. Anhao walked behind him and looked over at him. She reached out and hugged him from behind. She leaned against his back and said softly,¡±¡±When I sent you an email asking if that swing was specially designed for me, you read my email but never replied.¡± ¡°The answer is on the swing. Do I need to reply?¡± ¡°On the swing?¡± Anhao was stunned. ¡°There¡¯s your initials under the base of the swing.¡± Anhao was surprised and immediately ran out to the swing. She bent down to look at the bottom of the swing and saw the two English capital letters AH. It turned out that he had never deliberately concealed his identity as Mr. V. It was just that she had always been too slow. If it were not for his hints, she would probably never have guessed all of this. Chapter 906 - Chapter 906: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (4) Chapter 906: He Is Her Zuo Hancheng (4) Anhao instantly smiled like a little fool and sat on the swing. She sat on the bed and swayed as she looked up at Zuo Hancheng. She saw him standing in front of the window of the children¡¯s room on the second floor of the seaside villa, looking at her. She grinned happily and waved in his direction as she swayed on the swing. Her eyes were filled with joy. Zuo Hancheng heaved a sigh of relief. Anhao had been trembling with fear for so many days, but now she finally smiled. ***** A week later. As Anhao was getting closer to her due date, she took some time off to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Zuo Hancheng wanted to accompany her, but he was taken away by D halfway to the hospital for a checkup. In order to fulfill Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wish of seeing the baby in her belly, Anhao decided to follow Zuo Hancheng to the Sino American United Hospital. While Zuo Hancheng was having a check-up, Anhao went to the gynecology and obstetrics department. When she could check the size of the baby in her belly, she had just laid down on the bed in the four-dimensional ultrasound ultrasound room when there was a sudden commotion among the medical staff outside. After that, Zuo Hancheng suddenly appeared in the ultrasound room. For the past eight months, she had basically been lying here alone. Even Huang Amao and Lin Qing had not been able to come in with her. Now that Zuo Hancheng suddenly appeared by the bedside, Anhao, who was already used to prenatal examinations, could not help but feel a little nervous. When the screen showed the baby¡¯s condition in her stomach, the doctor professionally introduced the baby¡¯s condition in her stomach. He described the baby¡¯s size, head size, limbs, and so on. As Anhao listened to the doctor, she looked at Zuo Hancheng from time to time. She saw him looking at the baby on the screen. She could feel his grip on her hand slowly tightening. She could feel the strength in the palm of the man who had fired three shots on her shoulder without changing his expression. Was Zuo Hancheng agitated? Anhao looked at him with a smile until the baby turned his face towards her. Although the baby¡¯s face on the screen was the same color as when he was in his stomach, it was not difficult to tell where the baby¡¯s glasses, nose, and mouth were. She could even vaguely tell that the baby¡¯s nose was very tall and straight, and the shape was very similar to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s. It was just as beautiful. With such a beautiful nose, it would be equally beautiful no matter if it was a boy or a girl. ¡°Mr. Zuo, did you see that? The baby in Mrs. Zuo¡¯s stomach seemed to know that his parents were looking at him. He deliberately turned his head in this direction. Last time, he refused to turn his head. Aiya, he¡¯s moving his little hand. Look at how he¡¯s moving his little hand. Doesn¡¯t it look like he¡¯s greeting his parents? The baby is so cute. He¡¯s already so cute before he¡¯s born. He¡¯ll definitely be especially fun after he¡¯s born ~¡± The doctor¡¯s nagging voice became the beautiful background behind Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. Anhao did not say anything for a moment, but obediently placed her hand in Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. After seeing the doctor, the doctor confirmed that the baby was already full term and was very healthy and lively. She could give birth at any time. Because Anhao wanted to give birth naturally, she had to go home and wait patiently for the baby to come out on its own. After listening to the doctor¡¯s instructions, Anhao got out of bed with the ultrasound report. Zuo Hancheng took the report and looked at the screenshot of the baby¡¯s face and limbs. Anhao secretly looked at him and realized that the man beside her had a gentle gaze that made her want to drown in the deep pool of his eyes. ¡°How is it? I took good care of our Vajra Gourd Brothers, right?¡±Anhao smiled and pointed at the picture.¡±¡±Look at how much his nose looks like yours, and his chin¡­ I can¡¯t see it clearly, but from the eye sockets, it still looks like you¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng held the ultrasound report in his hand in satisfaction.¡±¡±This is the first time I¡¯m meeting the baby, and I can¡¯t hide my excitement. In the past few months, you¡¯ve walked over alone.¡± ¡°Every time, I would hold the results of the prenatal checkup and rub my stomach to tell our baby that Daddy will come back. Daddy will definitely come back.¡±Anhao was no longer as scared as she was a few days ago. She answered calmly and smiled with her beautiful eyes.¡±So look, aren¡¯t you back?¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled warmly and pulled Anhao into his arms. He kissed her gently on the cheek and said,¡±¡±Anhao.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± An Hao lifted her head slightly from his embrace, her eyes warm. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice sounded apologetic for the few months he had been absent, but it was also full of gentleness and care. Anhao smiled and leaned into his arms. The two of them held the ultrasound paper that looked like a picture of the baby and hugged each other in the corridor of the hospital. ***** ¡°Anhao, how are you feeling now? Can you come to the company?¡± The next day, Anhao and Zuo Hancheng had already started preparing for the delivery at the hospital in a few days when they suddenly received a call from the company¡¯s vice president. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡± Spring is in a month¡¯s time, and it¡¯s also the time for the annual equity change and job transfer. These few days, the directors of the company have become more and more dissatisfied with the fact that you¡¯ve become a legal person. Even the news that you tried to murder President Zuo has gone astray. The directors have requested to see you and listed a series of evidence to drag you down¡­¡± When Anhao heard this, her gaze paused.¡±Got it. Let them wait. I¡¯ll be there right away.¡± After hanging up the phone, Anhao glanced at Zuo Hancheng, who had just walked out of the study. Seeing that Anhao was about to leave after putting on her coat, Zuo Hancheng glanced at her belly.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t the doctor say that you should go out as little as possible in the next few days? You might give birth at any time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to the company to get some things. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±Anhao didn¡¯t want Zuo Hancheng, who had not fully recovered, to worry too much because of her lack of ability. Although she couldn¡¯t take charge of the company¡¯s matters for the time being, she didn¡¯t want him to bring his body to the company to solve the problem whenever there was a dispute or doubt. She had her own way of handling things, so Anhao didn¡¯t explain much and called a car to go out. Zuo Hancheng saw that Anhao was a little anxious when she left the house. Although he did not ask much, he could roughly guess the reason. A few minutes after Anhao left, Mobai called. ¡°President Zuo, the most senior directors in the company are causing trouble. They are trying to make a big deal out of this while Anhao is about to give birth. They are all old foxes in the company. This time, their goal is very clear.¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the sky outside the window and said calmly,¡±¡±Send a car over. I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Chapter 907 - Chapter 907: President Zuo Appears (1) Chapter 907: President Zuo Appears (1) For the past nine months, everything in Shengling Group had been very orderly. It had not been greatly affected by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s absence. Except for the older directors in the company who often raised doubts, everything was calm. Anhao had just gotten out of the car in front of the company. Because she had left in a hurry, the driver was driving very fast. There was a section of the road that was about to be repaired, and it was very bumpy. She did not know if it was because of this that her stomach was hurting. Although it was normal for her stomach to occasionally feel pain because she was about to give birth, the pain was too obvious today. After she got out of the car, she stood on the spot for a minute until Lin Qing quickly walked out to pick her up. Anhao then followed Lin Qing in. ¡°Director Xu and the others have been questioning the change in the company¡¯s legal person for a long time. They¡¯ve wanted to cause trouble for a long time, but they took advantage of your recent maternity leave and the fact that the company has no owner to come and cause trouble. They even incited the other directors on the board of directors to come and cause trouble.¡± Lin Qing walked beside Anhao and explained the company¡¯s situation softly,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you tell President Zuo about this before you came?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t know the situation at the company. He hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet. If I can solve the problem, I try not to let him worry.¡±Anhao said as she walked. ¡± But I¡¯m afraid that you can¡¯t handle the current situation. When Shengling Group moved from the United States to China, because the business models of the two countries were different, even if the company¡¯s financing and everything else were independent, they had to set up a board of directors at that time. After so many years, those directors think that they are the heroes of Shengling Group. Now, taking advantage of President Zuo¡¯s absence from the company and your maternity leave, I suspect that their goal is to divide up your shares and legal personality.¡± After Anhao and Lin Qing walked into the elevator, they glanced at the number on the elevator and said softly,¡±¡±I know. They were unwilling to be a director under me because of my young age and lack of experience a few months ago. As early as the few board meetings back then, when they raised their doubts, I already knew that this day would come.¡± At this point, Anhao paused for a moment before continuing,¡±¡± I just didn¡¯t expect it to come so soon. They took advantage of the time when I was giving birth to cause trouble. It¡¯s obvious that they want to disperse the morale of the army and cause the internal affairs of the company¡¯s employees to fluctuate. If there really is any change in the senior management at this time, I¡¯m afraid that no matter how stable the foundation of Shengling Group is, it won¡¯t be able to defeat their rumors. If they really wait for me to give birth and rest before coming back to solve these problems, A month or two is enough for them to break the inner defense of the employees and stand on the same side as them to kick me out.¡± ¡°So you knew about Anhao.¡± Lin Qing stood beside her and looked at her. In fact, the best way now was to let President Zuo come to the company. That way, the rumors would be destroyed.¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡± If his physical condition allows it,¡± An Hao said softly,¡± I will definitely use this most effective and direct method. As long as he shows up, the problem will be solved without a word.¡± However, he had just gone to the hospital for a check-up yesterday. Although the doctor said that his recovery was very good, he had been out frequently these past few days. Recently, the cold weather had been getting worse and worse. In the next month, he would try his best to recuperate at home to avoid other consequences if he caught a cold and fell sick. So I thought that if I could solve it, I wouldn¡¯t trouble him for now.¡± ¡°President Zuo didn¡¯t know when you came?¡± Anhao paused.¡± I don¡¯t think so¡­¡± The elevator stopped at the floor where the company¡¯s large conference room was located. Although Anhao had rushed over from home at the last minute, her clothes were very loose and covered the outline of her stomach. Even if she was here to face the company¡¯s founding members who wanted to cause trouble, she didn¡¯t want to use the child in her stomach and her own physical condition to gain sympathy. From the beginning, she was unfamiliar with the company to now, she had a thorough understanding of many aspects of the company. Lin Qing and Mobai had personally witnessed her progress and accompanied her along the way. Therefore, no matter what those old fellows wanted to do, before she went to the hospital to give birth, even if it was only for a day, she had to suppress the company¡¯s matters first. When Zuo Hancheng handed Shengling Group over to her, it was because he trusted her completely. Even though Zuo Hancheng had returned, his injuries were too serious. No matter how much pressure Anhao was under, she did not want to put all these burdens on his shoulders again. No matter what, she was willing to share everything with Zuo Hancheng. Lin Qing wanted to say something, but when he turned to look at Anhao, he suddenly frowned,¡±¡±Anhao, your expression¡­Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. My stomach isn¡¯t feeling well, but I can endure it. Let¡¯s go to the meeting room first.¡±Anhao walked straight to the meeting room with a blank expression. The directors in the meeting room were sitting at the table and were discussing animatedly when Anhao suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Anhao, who was so pregnant, come to the company again, the board members looked at her in surprise, as if they didn¡¯t expect her to come to the company while she was on maternity leave. ¡°Everyone.¡± After Lin Qing walked in, he said,¡±¡±President An hasn¡¯t gone to the hospital to wait for labor yet. If any of the directors have any doubts or doubts, please say it here. President An is so pregnant and he even came to the company specially for the directors. Please make it short.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a pregnancy? What¡¯s wrong with a big belly? This was not a reason to gain sympathy.¡±Director Xu said expressionlessly. ¡°Director Xu, do you think that I¡¯m pregnant to gain sympathy?¡±Anhao raised her eyebrows and looked at him coldly.¡±¡±Then what should I do? Everyone suddenly made such a big commotion in the company when I was about to go to the hospital to give birth. I had to take the risk of giving birth at any time to rush to the company to explain to everyone. Do I have to cut off my stomach and rush over?¡± Director Xu¡¯s face stiffened.¡± You¡¯re being unreasonable. What we¡¯re discussing today has nothing to do with whether you want to have a child or not.¡±¡± ¡°Since it doesn¡¯t matter, why did you mention it to gain sympathy? The company hasn¡¯t lost a single cent in the past few months. Do I need to gain your sympathy to gain your approval?¡±Ever since Anhao sat at the conference table, her eyes were sharp and her tone was more aggressive. In short, she would not give them the chance to question her with all kinds of unreasonable reasons. Chapter 908 - Chapter 908: President Zuo Appears (2) Chapter 908: President Zuo Appears (2) Director Xu didn¡¯t expect that Anhao, who rarely appeared in front of everyone in the past few months, would suddenly sit here as if she was possessed by President Zuo. She didn¡¯t even give the other party a chance to doubt or criticize her. ¡°Since President An mentioned the company¡¯s performance, do you know what percentage of Shengling Group¡¯s annual growth in performance has been? In one year, Zuo could lead a company to make great progress. However, since President Zuo disappeared and you secretly took over the company, even the legal person of the company changed to your name, the growth rate only increased by 2% in the past nine months. Additionally, this was mostly due to Assistant Mo Te and the vice president. What else did you do besides signing a document and coming to the company for a drink every day?¡±Director Fang suddenly said. When Anhao heard this, she snorted lightly. Before she could speak, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. The vice president walked in and said,¡±Director Fang, that¡¯s not right. Back then, before President Zuo went to America, he had already handed over the company¡¯s change rights to his subordinates. He had even transferred all the property rights to his wife, President An. However, President An was pregnant at the same time, and the company¡¯s operations had always been very stable. Do you want a woman who used to run to the toilet and vomit a few times a day to sit in the office? Meeting, negotiating contracts, socializing, attending meetings, even flying around the world to visit various subsidiary companies to monitor the development trends in various aspects?¡± The directors frowned when the vice president suddenly appeared. ¡°Even though President An didn¡¯t come forward at this time, she has been working hard to study business management knowledge since she came back from the United States. She even wanted to give up power several times because she was worried that she didn¡¯t have enough ability to bring better benefits to the company, but we stopped her. In the few months that President An took over, it was also the few months that she was pregnant. Could it be that you didn¡¯t see the hard work of a young lady in the company? Can¡¯t you see that every important document has been flipped over and studied many times before it was finally signed?¡± ¡°Do you think that President An usually only needs to sign an agreement and come to the company for a glass of water? Do you think that he can easily become the company¡¯s legal person and president? If it weren¡¯t for President Zuo releasing her right before he left, and if it weren¡¯t for her being Mrs. Zuo, the closest person to President Zuo, do you think our company¡¯s cooperation plans would have gone so smoothly over the past few months?¡± ¡°Or do you think that you have already benefited enough from Shengling Group over the years by letting President An be dismissed and let President An delegate his power? It has only been a few months, and you can¡¯t sit still? She wanted a piece of the pie from President An?¡± ¡°Vice President, aren¡¯t you being too serious? You¡¯re measuring a gentleman¡¯s stomach with a petty person¡¯s heart. Since we¡¯re members of the board of directors, we naturally have to take responsibility for the company¡¯s development. In the past nine months, President An has gone from a young lady who doesn¡¯t know anything about business management to where she is now. Of course, we¡¯ve seen it, but President Zuo hasn¡¯t been in contact with the company for so long. In fact, everything is handled by the Vice President and his special assistant. President An is only responsible for signing documents and other matters. This makes us very suspicious and worried about President Zuo¡¯s safety¡­¡± Anhao heard this and snorted softly again. When Director Fang, Director Xu, and the other directors heard her voice, they immediately turned to look at her.¡±President An, what are you laughing at?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the saying? Foxes like to call others coquettish.¡± As soon as Anhao said this, the directors ¡®faces turned ugly. However, Anhao did not seem to notice their ugly expressions. She only sneered and said,¡± Shengling Group¡¯s roots were once in the United States, and its predecessor was one of the Zuo family¡¯s enterprises. This is enough to prove that no matter what changes the legal person of Shengling Group has undergone, there are still traces of the Zuo family behind it. If you are worried that something has happened to President Zuo in the United States, and I have come back with the Vice President and others to usurp the throne, I believe that some of you have already tried to contact the Zuo family to ask about the situation. You have the answer in your hearts. Since you know that the Zuo family has no intention of interfering in these matters, you should be careful. Moreover, you tacitly agreed that I would take over this matter. What is the starting point of your doubts? Zuo Hancheng is missing, so I murdered my husband? The Zuo family didn¡¯t say anything, so I¡¯ve bewitched them, right?¡± ¡°President An, don¡¯t be agitated. We didn¡¯t say anything about this. We¡¯re just targeting the company¡¯s performance over the past few months¡­¡± Before Director Xu could finish his sentence, Anhao suddenly took a document from Lin Qing¡¯s hands and slammed it on the conference table. Although she didn¡¯t slam it very hard, the muffled sound of her hand slamming on the table made Director Xu shut up. ¡°This is a problem that the employees of the company have reported in the past two hours. The root cause is Director Xu, Director Fang, and a few other directors who are usually close to you. I admit that I¡¯m not capable enough to talk to me about the stagnation of the company¡¯s performance, but under the premise that the company is not incurring any losses, you spread such rumors among the company¡¯s employees for no reason. If they really couldn¡¯t make it to the company, how long would the rumors last? After I give birth and return from confinement, those rumors will become the truth in everyone¡¯s hearts, right?¡± Anhao suddenly stood up and said coldly,¡±¡± The Shengling Group is a large enterprise. The directors should know that although Zuo Hancheng has not appeared in the past nine months, everything has not been chaotic. I don¡¯t know if the directors are impatient or have other motives. If you don¡¯t trust me, you can find all kinds of documents and letters about the change of property rights at any time and let the judicial authorities verify them. Was it me who secretly usurped power, or was it you who made a mountain out of a molehill and deliberately created rumors to cause trouble before I was about to give birth?¡± ¡°Of course, if the judicial department comes forward and the change of property rights still cannot be trusted, then if President Zuo appears in person, can the directors dispel the grudges in their hearts and accept the reasonable changes of the company¡¯s legal person? However, the price for this¡­I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t want to foresee it.¡± ¡°Heh, President An really knows how to joke. If President Zuo could still stand here alive, I would chop off my head and let you kick it like a ball!¡±Director Xu suddenly said. At the same time, his eyes were filled with certainty.¡±President An, although you¡¯ve been hiding it very thoroughly, we also have our own answers. If we weren¡¯t convinced, why would we be here to argue with a pregnant woman who only knows how to sign documents!¡± Chapter 909 - Chapter 909: President Zuo Appears (3) Chapter 909: President Zuo Appears (3) Anhao did not show any anger at Director Xu¡¯s provocation. Instead, she smiled.¡±If President Zuo was standing in front of you, would you chop off your head and kick it like a ball? Really?¡± Director Xu humphed coldly.¡± So many directors are present, and there are vice presidents too.¡± Director Xu seemed to be too young to joke with you. I said that Director Zuo¡¯s situation has been investigated, and he has no chance of coming back.¡± Although he said it in a very obscure way, it was enough to make the other directors who were still unaware of the truth look at each other. Then, they all looked at Anhao suspiciously. Anhao chuckled as she looked at Director Xu¡¯s confident expression. ¡°So Director Xu came prepared.¡±Anhao said indifferently. Director Xu thought that Anhao was at a loss for a response because she had discovered that the matter had been exposed, so he stood up with a smile.¡±President An, I can still call you President An now because of President Zuo. You¡¯re just an unknown young lady, yet you dare to sit in the position of the CEO of Shengling Group, which has a market value of more than 70 billion, and give orders. You even hid the news of President Zuo¡¯s accident from everyone.¡± Anhao looked calmly at Director Xu¡¯s indignant expression. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt an unbearable pain in her stomach. Her expression did not change, except for the sudden paleness. She quietly placed her hand on her stomach. She did not know why it suddenly hurt so badly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Can you speak? Do you want me to tell everyone about President Zuo?¡±Director Xu stood by the conference table and suddenly took out a document filled with English words from a folder in front of him. As he slammed it on the table, he sneered and was about to announce Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death. However, when Lin Qing saw the contents of the document in front of him, his expression changed as he questioned,¡±¡±Director Xu, although we can understand that you want to prove everything now, as a director of Shengling Group, have you ever thought about what will happen to the company once you announce these contents? Would it cause suspicion and unrest among the employees? You have to know that Shengling Group is not just a one-man company. Our company also has countless people waiting to eat. If you spout nonsense now, what will the consequences be?¡± ¡°Secretary Lin, you¡¯re on the same side as them. Are you trying to hide something by saying such things in a panic at this time?¡±Director Xu raised the English document in his hand.¡± Everyone, how much have you been deceived in the past nine months? I think this document about the explosion in the United States can give you a perfect answer. As for why President Zuo hasn¡¯t appeared for so long, it¡¯s because¡­¡± Before Director Xu could finish his sentence, there was a sudden movement outside the conference room. In the next moment, the door was pushed open. Director Xu ignored the commotion behind him. No matter who came in to disturb him, he had to tell everyone the truth and pull down the pregnant woman who had occupied the CEO position. ¡± Our President Zuo died in the explosion at the underground weapon site of the United States nine months ago. President Zuo died long ago, but that woman used her identity as Mrs. Zuo to fabricate a story¡­¡± ¡°President Zuo?¡± ¡°President Zuo!¡± ¡°President Zuo?¡± ¡°President Zuo!¡± Everyone at the conference table suddenly stood up. They all looked in the direction of the conference room door with surprise and even surprise on their faces. Even Anhao looked at the person who suddenly appeared with surprise. Director Xu¡¯s intuition told him that something was wrong. He turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the meeting room with a cold expression on his face. Mobai and the others followed behind him. When Director Xu met Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze, his legs went weak. He looked at Zuo Hancheng in disbelief, then at the English document in his hand. He raised his head again and stared at Zuo Hancheng as if he had seen a ghost. ¡°Left¡­ President Zuo? How did you¡­¡± ¡°What about me?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s tone sounded casual, but it was actually cold and terrifying.¡±¡±Why am I standing here alive?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at the document in his hand and said,¡±¡± Disregarding the company¡¯s great development and discovery, you publicly announced these so-called ¡®truths¡¯ that have a bad impact on the company for your own personal gain. Director Xu, are you sure you still have the right to sit on the board of directors of Shengling Group?¡± Director Xu quickly put the document in his hand back into the folder and did not dare to say another word. However, his expression was still pale and even trembling as he said,¡±But¡­But President Zuo, you¡¯ve clearly already¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at everyone in the meeting room with his usual cold expression.¡±¡±I¡¯ll continue with the truth that Director Xu hasn¡¯t finished. The explosion that caused a sensation in the United States had a wide range of implications. Unfortunately, I was also affected. Because of my injuries, I had no choice but to stay in the United States for treatment. The company was handed over to Vice President Mobai on time. I¡¯m right here. What else do you want to ask?¡± Director Xu slowly sat back down, unable to say a word. President Zuo was still standing there and was not dead at all. Who could say anything else? All the doubts were dispelled at this moment, and what Anhao said before was indeed correct. Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng. Although he was a little thinner than before, he had a clean and cold temperament. He looked dignified and noble when he stood in front of the door. Indeed, no one could compare to him. Zuo Hancheng was Zuo Hancheng. He had abandoned everything in America and stood in the world that belonged to him. He was the king here. Even if he was injured, he could not hide everything that belonged to him. There is no other way in the world. He was referring to people like Zuo Hancheng. Anhao was regretful that she could not completely deal with this group of people in the company. In the end, Zuo Hancheng had to step in. Although she was a little defeated, she was more than happy. She was glad that he was still by her side when she was in trouble. She was glad that Zuo Hancheng would always appear when she was in trouble. Fortunately, he was still alive. ¡°Anhao!¡± Suddenly, Lin Qing¡¯s scream caused everyone in the conference room to turn around in shock. They saw Anhao, who was sitting steadily on the soft chair beside the conference table, suddenly curled up and fell to the ground. Her face was pale and bloodless. Zuo Hancheng also turned to look at Anhao¡¯s direction in that instant. He pushed Mobai¡¯s hand away and walked quickly towards Anhao. Chapter 910 - Chapter 910: President Zuo Appears (4) Chapter 910: President Zuo Appears (4) In the hospital, in the delivery room, Anhao had a pained expression on her face as she endured the pain in her stomach from time to time. The doctor said that the uterus had been opened and she still needed to wait for the baby to come out. She had never felt so much pain in her life. She lay on the bed and kept taking deep breaths. It was probably because the journey to the company was too bumpy, causing her to turn red in the meeting room. This meant that she should have come to the hospital at that time. Fortunately, Zuo Hancheng had arrived in time and the ambulance had arrived quickly enough to send her to the hospital and back into the delivery room. Now, Anhao¡¯s entire strength was concentrated on her lower body. She only hoped that she could give birth as soon as possible. It was so painful! .. Two hours later, the sound of the doctor cheering her on could be heard from the delivery room. Anhao didn¡¯t know if she was about to die from the pain. She had no strength but she had to continue to exert force. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man who had suddenly appeared beside her. She saw Zuo Hancheng standing by the bed in a special disinfectant gown for childbirth. She saw his gentle gaze and felt that his hand seemed to be giving her courage and strength. She wanted to try to smile at him and tell him that she was fine and that she could still hold on. However, the pain in her lower body still made her face twitch. However, because Zuo Hancheng was beside her, she wanted to turn her head away so that he would not see her ugly appearance when she gave birth, but she did not have the strength to do so. Suddenly, she felt a gentle kiss on her forehead. When Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on the corner of her lips, tears flowed down her face. Her small hand that was held by him suddenly grabbed his palm and held the back of his hand tightly. She choked and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t leave me again in the future, okay?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Zuo Hancheng¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m in so much pain¡­¡± ¡°I know. After this, we won¡¯t have children anymore. We won¡¯t let you hurt so much anymore.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s voice lingered in her ears, comforting her.¡±¡±Be good, hang in there. Anhao.¡± Anhao sniffled and suddenly choked,¡±¡±What if I give birth to a son? A little boy always had a little sister following behind him, just like a little tail. How cute¡­If we only have one child, the baby will be so lonely¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled and kissed her lips.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you afraid of pain?¡± ¡°Oh¡­ If you stay with me, it won¡¯t hurt so much when I¡¯m on the side¡­ Uh¡­ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It hurts me to death Zuo Hancheng was speechless. After exerting force for a long time, Anhao said weakly,¡±¡±If it¡¯s a son, I want to give birth to a little sister for him¡­If it¡¯s a daughter, I want to give birth to a younger sister or brother for her. That way, she won¡¯t be lonely¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng placed his hand on her head.¡±¡±It¡¯s up to you. Don¡¯t talk anymore. Listen to the doctor¡¯s arrangements. Save your strength for after the birth, okay?¡± ¡°But I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± Anhao suddenly cried and said,¡± I¡¯ve been thinking about it for the past few months. If you didn¡¯t come back when I gave birth, what should I do?¡± Wu¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng kissed her face gently and held her hand tightly.¡±¡± I won¡¯t, I won¡¯t ever disappear again. I¡¯ll be with you and the baby for the rest of my life. Be good and work harder. Anhao, I¡¯ll always be there for you no matter what. I won¡¯t go back on my word¡­¡± ¡°Wu¡­¡± Anhao turned around and buried her face in his neck. Zuo Hancheng leaned over and hugged her little head, allowing her to cry in excitement. ¡°I still want to take wedding photos, but I¡¯ve already given birth. Will my figure get worse? Will I not look good in the photos¡­¡± ¡°No, you¡¯ve always been so thin when you were pregnant. I hope you can gain some weight.¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled and hugged her little head.¡±¡±After giving birth and when your body recovers, we¡¯ll go take wedding photos. Everything will be up to you, okay?¡± Anhao nodded vigorously, but the doctor shouted,¡±¡± Aiya, why are you using so much force on top? You should use more force on the bottom. The child¡¯s head is about to come out. Come on, Mrs. Zuo¡­¡± Anhao immediately looked aggrieved and continued to push down. Zuo Hancheng chuckled and patted her little head gently.¡± Mrs. Zuo, you can do it!¡± Anhao sniffed and held his hand tightly with one hand while her other hand gripped the armrest of the delivery table. Her knuckles were already white from the exertion, but she closed her eyes and tried her best. Inhale, push, exhale, push¡­ These were the longest few hours of Anhao and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s lives. Outside the delivery room, the Zuo family, who had received all kinds of news in the past few days, finally arrived one minute before the child was born. Before the Zuo family could recover from the news that Zuo Hancheng was still alive, they had already squeezed out of the delivery room in a daze. Even the old man, who had been on the plane for more than ten hours, had not recovered from his shock. Suddenly, there was a burst of wailing from the delivery room. The baby¡¯s voice gradually became louder and louder. When the crying was getting closer and closer to the delivery room door, Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, and father immediately held their hands tightly outside. Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes instantly turned red. A few minutes later, a nurse wrapped a small red blanket around a baby and carried it out. The nurse said at the same time,¡±Congratulations, Mrs. Zuo has given birth to a very healthy baby boy.¡± The Zuo family immediately rushed over. However, the old man, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, said when Mrs. Zuo was about to carry the child,¡±Let me carry you!¡± Mother Zuo watched as the nurse brought the baby wrapped in a red blanket into the old man¡¯s arms and even instructed the old man to hold the baby¡¯s head and butt. The old man was so excited that the complaints he had about Anhao before he came seemed to have disappeared in an instant. He only maintained a stiff posture as he looked at the wrinkled little thing in his arms. Suddenly, his old face smiled dozens of times. ¡°Tsk, little thing, I¡¯m your great-grandfather. In order to rush over to see you, your great-grandfather almost broke his back on the plane¡­¡± Father Zuo and Mother Zuo looked at each other, then walked over to the baby in Old Master Zuo¡¯s arms with curiosity. Mother Zuo reached out to touch the baby¡¯s tiny and cute hand with joy. The baby opened his eyes at the same time. His black eyes were wide open as if he was surprised by these strange humans. ¡°Aiya, look, our grandson is looking at me¡­¡± ¡± He¡¯s obviously looking at me. Look, how big are his eyes? They look so much like Anhao¡¯s. His nose, mouth, and eyebrows all look like Hancheng¡¯s¡­¡± The old man turned around speechlessly with the child in his arms. He looked as if he could not bear to give his baby to others.¡±She¡¯s just born, and her face is still wrinkled. How can I tell that she looks like Anhao? I feel that everything is like Han City!¡± Chapter 911 - Chapter 911: Ending (1) Chapter 911: Ending (1) The nurse standing at the side was amused by the way Old Master Zuo held the baby. It was as if an old man was snatching the baby away. Father Zuo chuckled.¡± Dad, you just told us about what happened in Han City not long ago. Now, Anhao has given you a great-grandson. Look at the grudge between the Zuo family and the An family¡­¡± Old Master Zuo glanced at Father Zuo indifferently.¡±¡±Even that girl Anhao has no intention of forgiving the An family. Do you still expect me to make peace with the An family?¡± Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, bent down to play with the child as she said,¡± If you¡¯re wrong, it¡¯s only Elder An¡¯s fault. Anhao¡¯s parents have been living in helplessness for decades. Now that Anhao and Hancheng¡¯s child has been born, why don¡¯t you let go of these grudges? Even if you don¡¯t see Anhao and Hancheng, you have to give the child a complete picture for the sake of the great-grandson in your arms.¡± Grandpa Zuo didn¡¯t say anything. He looked down at the pink but wrinkled little thing in his arms and turned to look at the delivery room. He didn¡¯t say anything in the end. Suddenly, the baby in his arms spat out a few bubbles and made a strange sound. Grandpa Zuo smiled and lowered his head to kiss the baby¡¯s face. Seeing the old man smiling, Father Zuo and Mother Zuo knew that the old man actually didn¡¯t really reject Anhao. After all, when Anhao left America, the old man already had some thoughts of accepting her. If it wasn¡¯t for so many things that happened later, causing the Zuo family to be less peaceful, perhaps Anhao would have been able to stay by the old man¡¯s side and be doted on by him. The biggest problem that was now between Anhao and the An family was the gap between Anhao and the An family. This was not something that the Zuo family should be concerned about, but before Xu Yuan came, she was entrusted by An Ping to not let Anhao continue to live without her parents. She should at least let the An family return everything that she lacked. Under the guidance of the nurse, the Zuo family was about to carry the child to the confinement room in the hospital. Old Master Zuo had been holding the child steadily, and Father Zuo was pushing the old man¡¯s wheelchair towards the confinement room. Before they entered, the old man suddenly said softly,¡±I¡¯ll settle the Andersons and Anhao¡¯s matter. That old fart, Elder An, is just like me. He¡¯s been stubborn for his entire life, but in the end, he caused the family to be a disgrace. He couldn¡¯t even be bothered to acknowledge his granddaughter. Hmph, he even wants me to help him settle it. He¡¯s been acting tough for his entire life, but in the end, he¡¯s become a coward when he gets old.¡± Zuo¡¯s father and mother looked at each other. After hearing the old man¡¯s words, they finally felt that the dust had settled. ¡± Aiyo, little baby, great grandpa, you¡¯re so old, and you still have to solve your family problems for that old fart, Old An. You feel sorry for your great grandpa, don¡¯t you?¡±¡± ¡°Aiyaya, my great-grandson is smiling at me!¡± ¡°Look, is he smiling at me? Look, look, right?¡± Father Zuo and Mother Zuo leaned over to look at the baby in the old man¡¯s arms. As expected, although the baby¡¯s face was still pink and wrinkled because he was just born, he really opened his eyes and smiled. ¡± Oh my god, he¡¯s already smiling less than half an hour after he was born. This child is so cute!¡± .. The confinement room in the hospital was filled with laughter and joy because of the sudden birth of the baby. When Anhao was sent out of the delivery room, although she was too tired and sleepy, her hand was still tightly holding Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand and refused to let go. She was afraid that he would disappear and that Zuo Hancheng would be by her side when she gave birth. She was afraid of too many things. When she heard the baby crying and heard the nurse say that it was a healthy baby boy and that the baby weighed seven pounds, Anhao tightened her grip on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand. She was sent to the confinement room in the hospital. The room was very large, with a nursing room and a lounge. This confinement room was similar to a business suite in a hotel. Ann was so tired that she didn¡¯t have the energy to observe her surroundings. She only heard laughter coming from inside. It was not until she was sent inside and laid on the soft bed in the confinement room that she managed to pull herself together and turned to look at Zuo Hancheng, who had been beside her. Although she was weak, she had been holding his hand tightly because of the pain during the labor. Anhao looked down and saw that the back of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hand had been scratched by her nails. She was about to let go when Zuo Hancheng held her back. ¡°Be good, I¡¯ll always be here.¡± Zuo Hancheng held her in one hand and caressed her head gently with the other.¡±¡±Don¡¯t be afraid. Sleep if you¡¯re tired. The doctor said you need to rest.¡± Anhao looked at Zuo Hancheng beside her and smiled.¡±¡±I¡¯ve scratched your hand¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. It doesn¡¯t hurt. Compared to the pain when you gave birth, this is not even one in ten thousand.¡±Zuo Hancheng held her little hand gently to comfort her.¡±¡±Sleep, I won¡¯t leave, I promise.¡± The lingering fear in her heart was easily seen through. Anhao grinned. Although she was so tired that she could barely open her eyes and her face was a little pale, she heard Mother Zuo carrying the baby over. Anhao immediately turned her head to the other side and looked at her mother, Xu Yuan. Then, she saw her father and the old man walking out of the accompanying room. ¡°Anhao, come and see your and Hancheng¡¯s baby. The nurse said that it¡¯s a very healthy baby boy, and he¡¯s very cute.¡± Anhao suddenly regained her strength and struggled to sit up.¡±I want to see the baby before I rest¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng helped her up as she was about to get up. Anhao sat on the bed and turned to look at the little guy that Mother Zuo had carried over. She thought that it would be a beautiful baby that looked like her or Zuo Hancheng, but when she saw that it was a wrinkled pink ball, she was surprised.¡±Why do you look like a pink monkey¡­¡± Mother Zuo laughed.¡± Silly girl. All newborn babies are like this. They will become more and more beautiful in two days.¡±¡± Anhao blinked and reached out her hand. When Mother Zuo carried the baby to her, she poked the baby¡¯s face lightly with her finger. As a result, her finger accidentally touched the baby¡¯s mouth. Unexpectedly, the baby instinctively followed her finger and sucked¡­ ¡°Aiya!¡± Anhao quickly retracted her hand.¡± Seeing Anhao¡¯s clueless look, Mother Zuo almost laughed out loud. Zuo Hancheng held Anhao¡¯s hand with one hand and raised his other hand to hold the baby¡¯s hand. His eyes were filled with an indelible gentleness until the little guy instinctively hooked his little hand around Zuo Hancheng¡¯s finger. Anhao¡¯s eyes were slightly warm from the tender scene. Chapter 912 - Chapter 912: Ending (2) Chapter 912: Ending (2) Ten days later. ¡°Ahhhhh, the baby is vomiting milk!¡± ¡°Ahhhhhh, this little stinky baby peed again!¡± ¡± Ahhhhhhh! Oh my god! Mother, save me! This little thing has pooped all over me! Ahhhhhh!¡± Every time Anhao fed the baby alone, Anhao¡¯s panicked cries would be heard from the bedroom on the second floor of Liujing Garden. Every time this happened, Mother Zuo would rush into the room as if she had a pair of whirlwind legs to deal with the ¡± disaster scene ¡°. Mother Zuo was responsible for taking Anhao, who was curled up into a ball under the blanket, to the bathroom. When Zuo Hancheng arrived, he was responsible for shoving Anhao into the bathroom and helping her change her clothes. This ¡°soul-stirring¡± scene would be played out every day in the entire Gilt Scenic Garden, and it would be played out more than once every day. In the end, when Anhao came out after being cleaned up by Zuo Hancheng, she saw that the little guy who was still in her arms was lying on the crib and sleeping soundly. She leaned her head on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s shoulder with a blank expression and said with her eyes staring blankly,¡±¡±It¡¯s too difficult to take care of a child!¡± Mother Zuo saw Anhao¡¯s helpless expression every time the child¡¯s emergency happened and shook her head with a smile.¡±¡±You always forget to change the baby¡¯s diapers. It¡¯s only been a few days, and you¡¯ve already learned how to take care of the baby in Hancheng. Anhao, you have to learn how to take care of the baby after the confinement period. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to go back to America with peace of mind.¡± Anhao suddenly looked at the baby in the crib with a wronged expression. The baby was no longer as wrinkled as the day he was born. He was getting better and cuter, and indeed, he was becoming more and more like Zuo Hancheng. A few days ago, Mother Zuo had specially taken a photo of Zuo Hancheng when he was young to compare it with the whole family. They commented that the father and son were simply carved from the same mold. Every time Anhao held the baby and fed it, she would be in a daze. Everything felt so surreal. Most importantly, she really didn¡¯t know how to change diapers! Every time she changed, it was a mess. It gave Mother Zuo a headache and she almost wanted to stay in this bedroom with her. ¡°Do you really know how to change the baby¡¯s diapers?¡±Anhao turned her eyes and looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was smiling all the time, with an aggrieved expression. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked down at her aggrieved look. He chuckled and said,¡±¡±More or less.¡± Anhao immediately looked at him with admiration.¡±¡±Oh my god, Zuo Hancheng, you actually know how to change diapers¡­¡± The sudden worship of the ¡± good ¡± and ¡± good ¡± made Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mouth twitch slightly. He pressed down on her shoulder and forcefully brought her back to the bed to sit down. ¡°Dad and Mom can still stay in the country for two months. These two months are enough for you to learn how to take care of the child. Rest well first. You haven¡¯t finished your confinement yet.¡± Anhao leaned against the bed with a melancholic expression and muttered,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t we move the Zuo family to China too? Tell Mom, Dad, and Grandpa not to leave. I¡¯m afraid I really can¡¯t handle it¡­¡± ¡°Most of the Zuo family¡¯s business is in the United States. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not realistic for the entire family to move.¡±¡±If you¡¯re really worried, you can tell Mom yourself. Ask her if she can stay with you for a few more months.¡± Zuo Hancheng patted her head.¡± ¡°No, Mom is the one who comes in to help me every time something happens. This is already embarrassing enough.¡±Anhao sat up straight and stuffed her head into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s arms. She looked at the baby who was sleeping soundly in the crib and laughing as he slept. She whispered,¡±¡±When Mom and Dad return to America, you have to help me as well. I¡¯m afraid that such a small and fragile thing can¡¯t stand my torture.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled. ¡± Zuo Hancheng, are you interested in being a stay-at-home dad or something?¡± Anhao continued to talk about her intentions. Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± It just so happens that I need to rest at home for the next year and can¡¯t go to the office often. It¡¯s also convenient for me to stay at home and take care of the child with you. But Anhao, as a new mother, you can¡¯t shirk your responsibilities too much.¡±¡± ¡°Wu ~¡± Anhao hugged him with a touched expression and said coquettishly,¡±¡±You¡¯re really the best husband in the world! I¡¯ll learn how to take care of the baby as soon as possible!¡± In the room, Zuo Hancheng and Anhao were very affectionate. Mrs. Zuo, who had already walked out of the room, heard the conversation inside and smiled happily. She went downstairs and was about to report to the old man that the baby was asleep when Mr. Zuo suddenly handed her the phone. ¡°Who called?¡± Mother Zuo took it. ¡°The Andersons.¡± Father Zuo said softly. Mrs. Zuo paused for a moment and looked up. Seeing that Anhao and Hancheng were still in the room, she took the phone and walked to the side to answer it. ***** A month later. After more than a month of confinement and recuperation, Anhao had gained at least five pounds from Mother Zuo and the confinement nanny. It was already spring in March, and the flowers were in full bloom. For the past month, she had been diligently learning how to take care of the baby at home. Today, she could finally go out, and the baby was temporarily taken care of by Mother Zuo. The purpose of her trip today was to meet someone at a coffee shop on a business street not far from the Liu Jing Garden. After getting out of the car, Anhao adjusted her windbreaker and turned around to see the figure by the window of the cafe. As she was mentally prepared before coming, she did not have any special emotions and walked straight in. It was not until she sat down by the window that Mrs. Anderson, who was sitting opposite her, took off her presbyopic and looked at her gently with a smile.¡±Child, I¡¯m very happy that you¡¯re willing to come and see me.¡± Anhao¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡± Old Madam, you¡¯re already so old, yet you¡¯re still busy with my matters and specially came to China to see me. If I don¡¯t give you face, I¡¯m afraid everyone will say that I¡¯ve gone too far. Besides, Old Madam, you didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I¡¯m not angry with you. Since you¡¯re here, you have to see me.¡±¡± ¡°What did I do wrong?¡± Mrs. Anderson smiled.¡± Child, I¡¯m very sorry. Back then, I was the one who made your mother temporarily keep you in the country and help her die. I was also the one who thought of ways to get rid of the doctors in the hospital related to her death. I was also involved in your unfair fate. How could I not be in the wrong?¡± Anhao¡¯s expression was slightly stunned as she looked at the old lady.¡±¡±So the missing doctors in the hospital were really related to that incident. Are those people still alive?¡± ¡°Yes, of course. It¡¯s just that in order to hide the news that your mother is still alive and to hide your existence, we had no choice but to arrange for those doctors to leave. The Andersons won¡¯t go so far as to let those innocent people die. I gave them a sum of money that was enough for them to leave the country and the An family to change their household registration and identity. Only then did I successfully make them disappear from everyone¡¯s sight and make it impossible to trace them.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, you should be wondering why I did this.¡±Mrs. Anderson looked at her gently.¡± Anhao, you should know by now that your father, Mr. Arel, is the godfather of the American underworld. He¡¯s so powerful and has so many connections that we have to be on guard against him. Everything I did back then was just to be on guard against him.¡± Chapter 913 - Chapter 913: Ending (3) Chapter 913: Ending (3) Even though Anhao didn¡¯t want to think too much about her background, she still asked after hearing what the old madam said,¡±¡±Why?¡± ¡°Because of my selfishness, because I want my daughter, who is wandering outside, to return to my side.¡±Mrs. Anderson said softly,¡± Twenty years ago, your mother was still very young. Due to a small incident, she met Mr. Arel by chance. You might not be curious about the love between the elders, but they did fall into a passionate relationship very quickly.¡±¡± ¡°At that time, the An family was one of the top Chinese in New York, and your grandfather¡¯s influence was not to be underestimated. Because the An family was involved in politics in New York, no one in the family was allowed to be involved in the underworld, nor were they allowed to have any connections with the American mafia. However, your mother ended up with Mr. Arel.¡± ¡± Your grandfather was very angry and locked your mother up at home. As a result, your mother accidentally injured someone when she was trying to escape, causing the other party to lose his life. At that time, when your mother was panicking and trying to escape, Mr. Arel came to save her. I won¡¯t talk about the process and cause and effect in between. In short, your grandfather has been obstructing them from being together.¡± ¡± Mr. Arel is so powerful,¡± Anhao looked at the old lady.¡± He¡¯s so capable too. Is it that difficult to snatch someone from the Andersons?¡±¡± ¡± It¡¯s not difficult, but the Andersons are considered to be partially involved in politics in New York. Furthermore, the Andersons are your mother¡¯s family, and your grandfather is your mother¡¯s father. Although Mr. Arel is a murderer, he is still a polite person. He has always respected us as his elders and has never laid a hand on the Andersons.¡± ¡± Because of your mother¡¯s accidental murder, your grandfather used this as an excuse to send your mother away. He also threatened her that if she continued to be stubborn and wanted to get too close to Mr. Arel, he would use his power in the American government to suppress the mafia members that Mr. Arel had just moved to New York at that time. He would kill them.¡± ¡± At that time, Mr. Arel¡¯s foundation wasn¡¯t particularly stable. In addition, your grandfather did something in New York, so Mr. Arel had no choice but to rush back while he was on his way to chase after your mother. As a result, he missed the chance to reunite with your mother. Later on, your mother arrived in the country. Because of your grandfather¡¯s threats, she did not dare to contact Mr. Arel anymore. Your mother changed her nationality, changed her contact information, and changed many traces related to her. As a result, Mr. Arel could not find her for two to three years.¡± ¡± Later on, after your mother graduated from a university in China, she did not accept the An family¡¯s arrangements and work because she had always been at odds with your grandfather. Instead, she entered into the government with her own abilities. What happened after that¡­You probably know. But not long after that, Mr. Arel finally found your mother. He personally went to China to look for her, but your mother rejected him¡­¡± ¡°At that time, the two of them had an argument. On that night¡­¡± After a pause, Mrs. Anderson looked at Anhao, who seemed to have understood the situation.¡± In that night, your mother had you.¡±¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything at first. Seeing that the old madam didn¡¯t continue, she looked up and asked,¡±¡±So Mr. Arel left because of a dispute with my mother. He didn¡¯t know what would happen to my mother when she was alone in the country. Did he know what Gu Tianming did to her not long after? Does he know that because she accidentally got pregnant with me, she inexplicably had many connections with the Gu family, the Yi family, and so on? Did he know what my mother had to endure all these years to hide his past and his whereabouts because of him, the godfather of the underworld?¡± Mrs. Anderson didn¡¯t answer. She just looked at Anhao for a long time before saying,¡±Child, you don¡¯t really blame your mother, do you?¡± Anhao didn¡¯t say anything, but she took a sip of warm water from the cup that the waiter had given her. ¡± Your mother brought the undership to live in the country. I¡¯m the only one who knows about the entire An family. Mr. Arel and your grandfather never knew about your existence. Later on, I wanted to bring you and your mother back to the country. Anhao, you should understand that I¡¯m a mother. I can¡¯t stand my daughter being away from the country for more than ten years. I originally wanted to bring you back as well, but I asked my grandfather for your opinion. But all my assumptions and comparisons were denied by him.¡± ¡°If I had really brought you back, you would have probably faced expulsion and harm from your relatives. Moreover, your mother¡¯s health was indeed not good at that time. She did have a tumor at that time, but it was not serious. I was anxious to bring my daughter back. Although I knew that I had a granddaughter, I had never seen her with my own eyes. After all, I was more worried about my daughter, so I used some tricks¡­¡± ¡°As for the Gu family, your mother was forced to a certain extent by your grandfather and me at that time. She had no choice but to take the risk and send you to the Gu family. Her original intention was to give you a home because you couldn¡¯t go back to America and the An family. However, Gu Tianming is the mayor after all. There were even rumors that you were Gu Tianming¡¯s illegitimate daughter. She used these reasons and reasons to send you there. Her goal was really to let you have a stable life alone in the country¡­¡± ¡°But none of us expected that you would be treated like that in the Gu family. Although your mother left in a hurry, she often sent people to inquire about you after she returned to the United States. At first, she was worried, but the news she found out was that Gu Tianming had let you go to the best school in City A. Therefore, she thought that the Gu family treated you very well and thought that she could use this method to make Gu Tianming atone for hurting her in the past¡­In the end¡­¡± ¡°In the end, she didn¡¯t expect that she would send me into a dragon¡¯s pool and a tiger¡¯s den.¡±Anhao chuckled, but her smile was a little bitter.¡±¡±Sending me to the Gu family is actually giving Gu Tianming a chance to atone for his sins. But Gu Tianming is not stupid. Won¡¯t the Gu family reject me because of my identity as an illegitimate daughter?¡± After a pause, Mrs. Anderson said softly,¡± We¡¯ve thought of all this before, but the people we sent back to investigate said that you¡¯re living very well in the Gu family. You¡¯re in the best school and don¡¯t have to worry about food, clothing, and housing. That¡¯s why your mother gave up on bringing you back to the United States¡­¡± Anhao immediately looked at Mrs. Anderson coldly.¡±Those so-called people who were sent to investigate, are they your people, Old Madam?¡± After a moment of silence, the old lady nodded.¡±I¡¯m sorry, Anhao. At that time, in order to keep my daughter, I had to do so many unfair things to you.¡± Chapter 914 - Chapter 914: Ending (4) Chapter 914: Ending (4) It turned out that the truth lay with Mrs. Anderson. No wonder Mrs. Anderson had been staying in the ancestral hall ever since Anping returned. It turned out that she had been ruthless to her granddaughter in order to save her daughter. It turned out that she felt guilty. No wonder the old lady had such an expression when she saw her and heard her name when she first entered the Andersons. So that was the case¡­ Anhao silently held the cup in her hand and said softly,¡±¡± You¡¯ve been hiding my existence from Elder An and Mr. Arel, and you¡¯ve also hidden the fact that my mother is still alive. Mr. Arel has always thought that my mother had died in China, so we were all kept in the dark. As for you, your daughter has returned to your side. She¡¯s already in her fifties, and she doesn¡¯t have any children or a husband by her side. She just adopted an adopted daughter who looks very much like me. She¡¯s all alone in the An family as your obedient daughter, accompanying you. Is this what you want? Old Madam?¡± Mrs. Anderson sighed and replied softly,¡±Ever since I sat here and told you the truth, I never planned to hear you forgive me. But Anhao, I¡¯m already so old. I should also repent for the selfish things that your grandfather and I have done to hurt you. After being in the ancestral hall for so many years, I have actually thought through a lot. It¡¯s a pity that everything is already set in stone and cannot be changed¡­When you went to the An family, I was already considering whether I should tell your grandfather about this. However, I didn¡¯t expect that just as I was about to tell the truth, you would suddenly be kidnapped¡­¡± ¡± My child, you and Hancheng are safe and sound now. You finally have your own happiness. I don¡¯t expect you to return to the An family without any grudges, but your parents have had a hard life. Your mother has been crying every day since you left because she missed you. However, she regretted it and knew that she couldn¡¯t face you, so she couldn¡¯t force you to forgive her. But you should know the truth, so I waited until you were out of confinement to find you.¡± Anhao looked at the old man in front of her in silence. She didn¡¯t want to probe into those doubts anymore. But now that she heard the truth, which was too complicated and also related to the selfishness and stubbornness of the two elders of the An family, Anhao suddenly felt relieved. Everyone had their own choices. Mrs. Anderson had merely chosen her own daughter and abandoned her, a granddaughter she had never seen before. An Ping had only sent her to the Gu family because of her hatred for Gu Tianming. The real reason was to let Gu Tianming atone for his sins. She had understood everything that had happened by accident. Suddenly, the heavy burden on her shoulders seemed to have been completely put down. ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Anderson.¡± Anhao stood up and smiled politely at the old lady.¡±¡±Thank you for letting me know the truth, and thank you for your selfishness back then. Perhaps God is really fair. I was abandoned by my own family, but I was picked up by Zuo Hancheng.¡± ¡°If Zuo Hancheng is the only fortunate thing in my life, I can also say that the luckiest thing in my life is to stay in China.¡± ¡± The year that Anping died and left me in the country was also the year that Zuo Hancheng moved Shengling Group to the country. Ever since I was abandoned, he has been approaching me step by step. Life is fair, and I am very lucky. I don¡¯t blame anyone for getting to where I am today, but I will not go back to the An family.¡± Anhao¡¯s voice was very soft.¡¯As for Mr. Arel, I know that he often flies back to China recently to visit me, I also know that he has seen Zuo Hancheng, I believe that Zuo Hancheng is more than I know my mood, he knows how to solve Arel Mr.¡¯s matter, so it has always been me, all have no one, Arel Mr. Goodbye, all have left Hancheng, all have blocked me, all have no willingness to touch people¡¯s things, I am very good, so old madam, your guilt can take back, there is no apology between us.¡¯There is no forgiveness. I thank you for giving me life, and I thank you for giving me such an extraordinary fate.¡± After she finished speaking, Anhao took out two hundred-yuan bills and placed them on the table.¡±¡±The coffee is on me. Take it as my respect for you. Please go back.¡± Anhao turned around and left. Mrs. Anderson sat at the coffee table by the window and slowly closed her eyes because of Anhao¡¯s departure. Although she was not crying, tears were still flowing down the corners of her eyes. .. Outside the cafe, Anhao had just walked out when she suddenly felt someone looking at her. She turned around and saw An Ping and Mr. Arel standing behind the Coffee sculpture outside the cafe. As she walked out, they walked out at the same time. She looked at the so-called parents, who seemed to be able to stand together again after middle-age. Anhao looked at them quietly. An Ping was about to walk in her direction when Anhao smiled at her indifferently. The smile didn¡¯t reach her eyes, but at least it was a smile. Seeing the distance in Anhao¡¯s eyes, An Ping stopped in her tracks and looked at her with red eyes. Anhao looked at her, then at Mr. Arel. She smiled and said,¡±¡±If the two of you want to go and see your child, the Liujing Garden welcomes the two of you at any time.¡± Mr. Arel¡¯s expression instantly turned bright. An Ping also looked at her with a face full of joy.¡±Anhao¡­¡± Anhao still had a smile on her face.¡± I won¡¯t call you ¡®Dad¡¯ and ¡®Mom¡¯ anymore. Even if I did, I¡¯m afraid none of us would be able to adapt to it. However, I won¡¯t deprive my child of the right to enjoy the love of his grandparents. The doors of the Liu Jing Garden are open to the two of you unconditionally¡­I hope you can be happy in the future.¡± After Anhao finished speaking, she left immediately. However, when she heard Mr. Arel and Anping¡¯s footsteps behind her, she paused for a moment and turned around. She said softly,¡±¡±Half a year later, Zuo Hancheng and I will go to the United States to hold a wedding. If the two of you want to attend, I will reserve a seat for you in the seats reserved for your parents.¡± As she finished speaking, Anhao once again left them with a calm back view, but just this sentence was enough to make Mr. Arel and An Ping feel relieved. Even though their daughter refused to acknowledge the Andersons, she still accepted them in her heart¡­ .. Anhao had originally planned to take a taxi home. After all, there was still a crying little guy waiting for her at home. When she walked to the side of the road, she suddenly saw the familiar black Bentley parked there. She was stunned and turned her head slightly. She saw that Zuo Hancheng had already crossed the road and walked to her side. The breeze of early spring blew and the sun set in the evening. The warm afterglow fell on Zuo Hancheng. He walked towards her, his steps light and slow, getting closer and closer, step by step, until he reached her side. He lowered his eyes and looked into her clear eyes. Chapter 915 - Chapter 915: Ending (Final) Chapter 915: Ending (Final) ¡°Left¡­¡± Anhao was about to speak, but she was stunned by the colorful balloons that flew into the sky not far away after he appeared. It was not until the balloons reached a certain height that they gradually condensed into a heart-shaped ball in a very regular manner, until her waist suddenly tightened. Zuo Hancheng took advantage of her absent-mindedness and pulled her into his arms. It was not until his hand was held, until a cold and familiar thing was put on her ring finger that Anhao suddenly came back to her senses. ¡°This is¡­What are you doing?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t tell?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°Are you proposing?¡± Anhao looked at him in surprise, and at the same time, she raised her hand to look at the ring on her ring finger. However, she suddenly had an angry expression on her face.¡±Why did you force the ring on me again? I haven¡¯t agreed yet!¡± ¡°The child is already born. Whether I agree or not, it¡¯s mine.¡±Zuo Hancheng chuckled as he pulled her under his coat and kissed her ear.¡±¡±Beautiful lady Anhao, are you willing to marry the man beside you and be in love with him forever?¡± Anhao rolled her eyes at him, then raised her hand and looked at the ring on her ring finger with satisfaction. Suddenly, she smiled and said,¡±What about my wedding photos?¡± ¡°Tomorrow.¡± ¡°Tomorrow? So fast? I¡¯ve gained five pounds because of Mom. Can¡¯t you wait until I lose weight before you shoot?¡± ¡°Which part is fat?¡± Zuo Hancheng pinched her fair little face twice.¡±¡±It feels good. You don¡¯t have to lose weight.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve gained five to six pounds. I have to lose weight!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to lose weight¡­¡± ¡°We have to reduce it!¡± ¡°Then we¡¯re not taking wedding photos?¡± ¡°We have to film it!¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s shoot tomorrow.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t eat tonight! I¡¯ll probably lose half a kilogram by tomorrow morning!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat, Baby won¡¯t eat anymore?¡± ¡°What?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced meaningfully at the two little buns on her chest that had grown a lot recently.¡±¡±As a breast-feeding woman.¡± Anhao suddenly gave him a sharp look and Zuo Hancheng immediately changed his tone.¡±¡±As a married girl who is breast-feeding, not letting you eat four meals a day is already taking care of your figure. How dare you starve for an entire night?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll only starve for one night. The baby shouldn¡¯t be hungry, right¡­¡± Anhao lowered her head to take a look as she spoke.¡±I think it¡¯s still very big. It should be enough for the baby!¡± ¡°Very big?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows. Do you want me to check it myself? There¡¯s a hotel behind you.¡± Anhao was about to jump out of his arms when Zuo Hancheng chuckled and kissed her ear.¡±¡±Why are you running? I¡¯m being watched by my parents and Grandpa Sheng every day. It¡¯s not even convenient for me to be intimate. Anhao, don¡¯t you miss me?¡± The man¡¯s voice was low and bewitching, but Anhao¡¯s face turned hot and she sounded like an unmarried girl.¡±The doctor said that it¡¯ll take some time before I give birth to the baby¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s already been a month and a half. I asked your obstetrician a week ago, and the doctor clearly said that there¡¯s no problem.¡± Anhao stared at him in disbelief.¡±¡±You actually asked the doctor? Zuo Hancheng, you¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, the man lowered his head and kissed her, silencing her voice. As Anhao struggled and was too shy to respond because they were on the roadside, he picked her up by the waist and walked into the seven-star hotel behind her. Before entering the hotel, Anhao buried her face in his neck with a red face.¡±¡±Are your injuries all healed? Will there be any problems carrying me while walking?¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss landed on her lips again. At the same time, he bit her lips as if punishing her. When Anhao moaned, he said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±You still have to experience the recovery of your injuries yourself. I¡¯m afraid that words are not enough to completely reassure you.¡± These words were so obscure that Anhao could no longer speak. She could only bury her face in his neck and breathe in his scent. In the past month and a half, although the Zuo family was very understanding and the two-story apartment in Liujing Garden was very large, there were too many people in the house. It was inconvenient for the two of them to do anything. Occasionally, when they kissed, they would be interrupted by Zuo¡¯s mother who suddenly knocked on the door. Otherwise, it would be suddenly interrupted by the child¡¯s crying. They had to hurry to feed the baby and change the diapers. Every time Zuo Hancheng took care of the child, he was so focused on taking care of the baby that Anhao was about to get jealous. However, every time he teased her at home, he would always be extremely calm as if nothing had happened. She had thought that she was the only one who felt inconvenienced and unable to express her desires because there were too many people at home. It turned out that Zuo Hancheng was not as calm as he appeared. So he was also in a hurry! The word ¡®urgent¡¯ was not just for show. Anhao was carried into the room by the usually calm Zuo Hancheng. There was more! The door was kicked open by him! After entering the house, Zuo Hancheng carried her and walked inside while closing the door with his foot. Anhao held back the emotions in her heart and carefully tugged at his collar as she muttered,¡±¡±I¡¯ll go take a shower first.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s shower together.¡± Zuo Hancheng chuckled and put her down. At the same time, he lifted his hand and unbuttoned his shirt. Anhao¡¯s face turned red as she turned around and was about to rush into the bathroom. However, she had just taken two steps when her waist was suddenly grabbed by him again. At the same time, he pressed her against the wall heavily. As Zuo Hancheng¡¯s passionate kiss deepened and entangled with her, the surging tide of love completely swept her up. Anhao raised her hands and hugged his neck tightly. She responded passionately as if she wanted to entangle with him until death. Their clothes were thrown all the way from the door of the room to the bathroom door. Zuo Hancheng¡¯s hot and pestering experience continued from the bathtub to the soft bed in the room. Outside the window, the light of the sunset was gradually setting in the west. The moon was gradually rising in the cold. It was a clear sky at night, and the stars in the sky seemed to be telling the good times. It was still a little cold in the early spring, but even though the air conditioner was not turned on, the temperature was still high. Anhao squeezed his arm tightly, almost unable to bear it because of his strength. However, every time she was about to lose consciousness, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s kiss was like the most beautiful elixir in the world, waking her up again and again. After rushing up to the clouds again and again, Anhao closed her eyes and leaned into his arms to take a nap. She listened to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s steady heartbeat and his hands hugged her from behind, holding her firmly in his arms. Anhao closed her eyes and whispered,¡± We still have to wake up early tomorrow to take wedding photos. We¡¯re going back so late today. Will Dad and Mom have a problem with that?¡± As she spoke, she glanced at the time. It was almost midnight¡­ Zuo Hancheng chuckled and kissed her gently on the hairline.¡±¡±I won¡¯t.¡± Even though Anhao was a new mother, she was still a mother. She played with her hair and used it to stroke his face. The result of this was Zuo Hancheng hugging her and kissing her deeply. Just as he was about to press her down on the bed again, Anhao whispered,¡±It¡¯s only been a few hours since I went back, and I¡¯m already missing the baby¡­¡± Zuo Hancheng paused on top of her, but he smiled and kissed the tip of her nose.¡±¡±Shall we go home now?¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go home!¡± Anhao smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her eyes were filled with smiles.¡±Back to our home.¡± ¡°Our home.¡± .. Ending.

He had power in the business world and could cover the sky with one hand! She had been cheated on by her fianc¨¦, and her reputation had been ruined by the false accusation. She had become the laughing stock of everyone. Who knew that she would turn around and marry into the Huo family? The powerful President Huo doted on her so much! She abused scumbags, tore apart scumbags, and had her husband to support her everywhere. She was just short of walking around the world! Due to the popularity of the drama she starred in, she was asked to perform a kissing scene live when she participated in a variety show. Boss Huo glanced coldly at the woman who was sitting in front of the camera. In an instant, the lights were all turned off. A few minutes later, the audience was dumbfounded. Why was the female lead on the stage gone? A certain female lead was carried home by her husband. She fell onto the bed and was executed on the spot. The punishment was unprecedentedly severe¡­] Chapter 916 - Chapter 916: The Wind Asks the Moon-Stop the Boss ‘Bleeding (1) Chapter 916: The Wind Asks the Moon-Stop the Boss ¡®Bleeding (1) It was raining cats and dogs Zuo Yue¡¯s petite figure ran out of the entrance of Boston Medical University. She forgot to bring an umbrella and could only carry the first aid kit she used for the pre-school assessment as she ran forward. She finally ran to the side of the road, but she was drenched from head to toe. The rain was too heavy, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. She was the only one standing by the side of the road with the first aid kit and looking around, trying to get a taxi. Fortunately, the first aid kit was waterproof, and all the things she bought to prepare for the entrance examination were not wet. In the distance, a black Cayenne sped over. The water on the ground was splashed by the speed of the car. Although Zuo Yue was already wet, she instinctively wanted to retreat. However, the car suddenly stopped in front of her. Because it was an emergency brake, the water inevitably splashed a lot of mud. In the rain and fog, Zuo Yue retreated while looking at the car in front of her with a puzzled expression. Could it be that she was so beautiful that everyone loved her? That was why a luxury car would stop and hit on her when she was drenched in the rain? However, the car was still in front of her, and no one got out of it. She looked at the front and back of the black Cayenne from top to bottom. Just as she thought that she might be overthinking, she was about to turn around when she suddenly saw the window at the back of the car slowly roll down. What made her even more stunned was the stack of blood-stained banknotes that was handed out from the car window. The wad of cash was not small, and it was handed out neatly and brand-new. The rain was heavy, and the blood on the banknotes was washed away in a short time. However, the car was still parked there. She had a feeling that something was wrong. She heard that Boston had not been very peaceful in the past few years. She endured the fear in her heart and quickly turned around to leave this place! However, just as Zuo Yue turned around and took two steps away, a deep and cold voice came from the car behind her.¡±¡±Get in the car if you don¡¯t want to die.¡± The voice was so cold that it seemed to have come from hell. Zuo Yue was so frightened that she hugged the first aid kit and turned around to look in that direction with a blank expression. Suddenly, the car door in front opened. The young man sitting in the driver¡¯s seat glanced at the first aid kit in her hand and urged,¡±Hurry up!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Zuo Yue felt a little strange. ¡°Get in the car.¡± The low and cold voice was heard again from the window behind. Zuo Yue immediately shrunk her neck. At the same time, she saw the driver in front of her take out a gun from his pocket. Although the action of holding the gun was very subtle, the muzzle was steadily aimed in her direction. Zuo Yue hugged the first aid kit in her hand tightly. She looked around hesitantly at the surroundings where there were no other pedestrians. She gritted her teeth and ran forward to open the door behind her. The moment she opened the door, she saw the man whose shirt was already stained with blood. Before she could see his face clearly, she was shocked by the shocking amount of blood on his body. ¡°Close the door!¡± The young man in front of her urged coldly again. Zuo Yue hurriedly got into the car. The moment the door was closed, the expensive black Cayenne sped away instantly, isolating the pouring rain outside the car. However, at this moment, what entered her mouth and nose was no longer the cold moisture in the rain, but the smell of blood. ¡°Are you a doctor? And a student from a medical university? Our BOSS needs to stop the bleeding, so hurry up. If you¡¯re slow, don¡¯t even think about getting out of the car alive. If you perform well, we¡¯ll give you a generous reward before you leave.¡± The man who was driving said a few more words in a cold voice. He looked through the rearview mirror at the little girl whose face was pale with fear.¡±What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t understand English? Are you Chinese?¡± ¡°No, no, no. I¡¯m¡­ He¡¯s an American Chinese, and he can understand both English and Chinese¡­¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she turned her eyes and looked at the person in the car who had been silent but could not be ignored. The car was a little dark, but it was very spacious. Although the man covered in blood had some blood on his face, it did not seem to hurt his face. Although there was blood covering his face, it could not hide the man¡¯s powerful aura and his handsome features. Putting aside the dangerous situation in front of her, Zuo Yue¡¯s brain twitched. She suddenly realized that this was the first time she had seen someone other than her brother, Zuo Hancheng, who had such a strong aura. Moreover, she did not know if it was because of the man¡¯s injury, but his face looked especially fair. However, it was not the kind of feminine fair, but the kind of indescribable clear and distinct in the pale. However, his eyes were closed, and his thin lips were pursed into a cold line. Other than the blood all over his body, there was a sense of alienation and indifference. However, the person who had handed over the blood-stained banknotes from the back window was clearly him! Zuo Yue looked at his face until the man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her with a cold gaze. His black pupils were filled with displeasure and unspeakable coldness, as if he was warning her. ¡°Hurry up and save her!¡± The person in front said impatiently,¡±You want to wait for our BOSS to run out of HP?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I¡­¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. She was about to say that she was just a freshman in the medical school and had not even attended a class. How could she know how to stop bleeding and save people? However, the reason why they let her get in the car was obviously because they saw the first aid kit in her hand. She was not in a hurry to guess the origins of these two people. However, in order to save her life, Zuo Yue still reached out to open the first aid box placed beside her while trembling under the cold gaze of the injured and indifferent man. She rummaged through the things inside, but all she found were some gauze, alcohol, and so on. There was no medicine that could stop bleeding. She was only here to deal with the entrance exam! How could she have prepared so many things! The man, whose shirt was covered in blood, glanced at her expressionlessly and said coldly,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? You don¡¯t even know how to stop the bleeding?¡± ¡°The main thing is that there¡¯s no medicine in my first aid kit to stop bleeding!¡±Zuo Yue quickly poured out the first aid kit in her hand and placed it in front of him.¡±¡±Look, there really isn¡¯t any! I¡¯m just a new student who just came to report. All the things I have here are just for the exam¡­¡± When the man saw the things in her first aid kit, he almost imperceptibly frowned. However, Zuo Yue saw his frown and was a little afraid that the two people would directly destroy the corpse in the car. She quickly said,¡±You, don¡¯t kill me. I¡¯ll think of a way¡­¡± The man glanced at her, and his eyes were still cold and distant. Chapter 917 - Chapter 917: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-It’s Him (2) Chapter 917: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-It¡¯s Him (2) ¡°I remember there¡¯s a big hospital nearby. Your BOSS is so badly injured, why didn¡¯t you send him to the hospital?¡± Zuo Yue asked in confusion as she continued to rummage through the first aid kit. ¡°Why would he call you up if he could go to the hospital?¡±The driver replied coldly. The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She found another tourniquet at the bottom of the first aid kit, but it was too small. She frowned and threw the tourniquet back. She turned to look at the man beside her who had already closed his eyes again.¡±Can I take a look at your wound¡­¡± The man beside her did not respond. He slowly closed his eyes, but it was obvious that he had acquiesced. Zuo Yue saw the blood on his body. She never liked to study medicine because her legs went weak when she saw blood. She did not know if she was her biological child. Her parents were so cruel to send her to study the profession that she was most unwilling to study! Zuo Yue held back the fear in her heart as she reached out and quickly unbuttoned the man¡¯s shirt. However, when she saw that there was a very serious gunshot wound on his abdomen and the wound was still bleeding, she almost screamed. The man suddenly opened his eyes. The moment their eyes met, the cold gaze in his eyes that seemed to carry a heavy pressure caused Zuo Yue to be unable to shout out. She only bit her lip and asked in horror,¡±This is¡­Gunshot wound?¡± No wonder he couldn¡¯t go to the hospital. Even in America, there was a legal society. At least, outside of the underworld, this kind of injury couldn¡¯t be found by the people in the official hospital. Although the man did not answer, his deep and dark eyes were like an unfathomable abyss. The layers of pressure made her unable to think too much. Zuo Yue took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She turned around and took the tourtourniquet. After opening the packaging of the new tourniquet, she looked at the simple usage written on it and immediately bandaged the wound on his abdomen. Then, she saw that there seemed to be some blood stains on his arm from a sharp weapon. She picked up the gauze and alcohol to help him deal with it. She had accidentally sprinkled alcohol around the wound, but the man did not even frown. However, he no longer looked at her. His cold gaze had already turned to look at the rapidly retreating roadside building in the heavy rain outside the car window. After cleaning the blood and wounds on the man¡¯s body, Zuo Yue took a new gauze and pressed it on the man¡¯s abdomen. Although there was a tourniquet, it seemed that his injury was too serious. A simple tourniquet did not completely stop the bleeding, so she could only use pressure. As he pressed, he said,¡±Well, I don¡¯t have anything in my hand that can help you take out the bullet. Even if I did, I wouldn¡¯t¡­¡± Therefore, I don¡¯t know if such a simple method will satisfy you¡­¡± The girl¡¯s voice was a little cautious and afraid, but she was still conscious. At least she did not curl up into a ball and cry for mercy because of fear. The man did not look at her, but he did not push Zuo Yue¡¯s hand away either. He allowed her to continue pressing on the wound on his abdomen. However, the car suddenly braked at the intersection in front of them. Zuo Yue staggered and fell into the man¡¯s arms. Zuo Yue had unbuttoned his shirt because she had just helped him clean his wound. Her face brushed directly against his firm chest, and her lips, which had turned pale from shock, inadvertently rubbed against the small bump on the man¡¯s chest. Zuo Yue¡¯s face suddenly turned red. After the car slowed down, she quickly sat up and continued to press on his abdomen to stop the bleeding. She looked up and saw that the man was not affected at all. His expression did not change at all. This man! She had already been kissed on the chest by someone else, yet she didn¡¯t react? On the contrary, her face was as red as a cooked prawn! Zuo Yue was embarrassed. She could not help but suspect his identity. She roughly knew that there were many underground organizations in the United States, and she also knew that the three major underworld forces were all over the world. She also knew that the United States was actually a place of trouble at certain times. This kind of gunshot wound was actually very common in some places. But this was her first time seeing it! Furthermore, he was forced into the car at gunpoint to stop the bleeding! I wonder if this so-called BOSS will let her go in the end .. However, in the end, Zuo Yue was taken to the outskirts of Boston by the car until there was a small bus stop. She was thrown out of the car. Of course, her first aid kit was left in the car. A few days later, when Zuo Yue saw the blood stain on her student¡¯s skirt that had not been completely washed away, she could not help but think of that man¡¯s cold and deep gaze. Every time she thought of this, she could feel a chill down her spine. ***** A month later. Zuo Yue had been in class for the whole day. She wore a new student dress and returned to her temporary apartment near the school with a sleepy look on her face. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, cleaning up inside. All the sleeping bugs in her mind immediately ran away! ¡°Mom! Why are you here?¡± Zuo Yue walked in quickly and saw that the room that she had made a mess of had been tidied up. Zuo Yue¡¯s mother had even hung the clothes that she had just washed on the balcony. After she was done with everything, Mother Zuo turned around and walked back. She saw Zuo Yue¡¯s surprised expression.¡±If I didn¡¯t come, were you going to sleep in a pigsty for the next few years?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°You¡¯re already so old, why don¡¯t you learn to clean your own house?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Fortunately, I had the foresight to entrust you to your uncle. Your uncle has been developing in Boston for the past few years. He¡¯s only nine years older than you, so the generation gap shouldn¡¯t be too big.¡± Mother Zuo said as she folded the blanket on the sofa. At the same time, she looked at Zuo Yue, who was still standing in front of the door.¡±What are you waiting for? Hurry up and change your clothes. Your uncle will be here soon.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Zuo Yue took a deep breath.¡± You want to hand me over to someone else for no reason? You didn¡¯t even ask for my permission!¡± And now, you even invited her to my place?¡± ¡°What other people? That¡¯s your uncle! Although you have never seen him, he is still your elder! I plan to return your apartment and let you live with my uncle. He can help me discipline you when he¡¯s not busy.¡± Before Zuo Yue could express her anger, she suddenly heard the doorbell. Zuo Yue¡¯s mother smiled and turned to open the door. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and turned around to look in the direction of the door. When she saw the tall man who suddenly stood in front of the door, Zuo Yue¡¯s expression instantly¡­It was indescribable to the extreme¡­There was even some fear! How could it be him? That day, the man covered in blood in the car?!! Chapter 918 - Chapter 918: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unable to Be an Elder (3) Chapter 918: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unable to Be an Elder (3) The moment Mother Zuo opened the door, she looked at the man outside with a smile.¡±Chengfeng, I haven¡¯t seen you for so many years. I almost couldn¡¯t recognize you. Quick, come in and sit!¡± Zuo Yue, on the other hand, stood rooted to the spot and looked at the man with a dumbfounded expression. When he walked through the door with a faint smile on his face, he still gave off a slightly indifferent feeling, but in front of Xu Yuan, he still gave off a more human feeling. When the man caught a glimpse of Zuo Yue who was standing by the sofa as if she had been petrified, his brows twitched slightly the moment he saw her. However, he was not as surprised as Zuo Yue. It was as if he had never seen her before. He even asked with a smile like an elder meeting a junior for the first time,¡±This is your precious daughter?¡± The question was obviously directed at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan smiled and walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s side.¡±That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right,¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right,¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right,¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, that¡¯¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, hurry up and call me uncle.¡±Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was completely out of sorts, so she patted her arm lightly.¡±¡±Hurry up and call for help. This is your little uncle.¡± Zuo Yue snapped back to her senses and looked up at the man who was only a few steps away from her. There was a faint smile in his eyes, but it was as cold as the peak of a distant mountain, revealing an incomprehensible emotion. However, with her mother beside her, she did not dare to say anything more. She could only say in a low voice with an awkward and awkward expression,¡±Little¡­Uncle¡­¡± It turned out that he was the uncle she had heard about from her parents. She had never seen him before. It was said that his uncle, Xu Chengfeng, had been developing his career in Russia for the past few years. Xu Chengfeng did not seem to be dissatisfied with her insincerity and impoliteness when he heard her address him in a soft and gentle manner. He merely curled his lips slightly but did not respond to her verbally. What a¡­High and mighty, high and mighty Her mother actually wanted to temporarily hand her over to him to look after such a person. Was there any justice in this world? * An hour later. Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, was busy cooking in the kitchen. Zuo Yue was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite her, as if she was going to punish him. She couldn¡¯t help but size up the man in the dark gray shirt in front of her. Although he looked like a high-class business elite, and although she was stunned when she saw this handsome face through the blood, she looked at him as if he was a stranger. The man sitting in front of her was actually her uncle. She sized him up for a long time. Although she was looking at him as if he was a so-called relative or an elder, she still sighed at his well-defined handsome face. It was too easy for women to fall in love with him. Tsk, even if she suspected that there was a grudge not long ago, his naturally noble and aloof attitude made Zuo Yue¡¯s face turn cold. She kept staring at him. She wished she could poke a hole in his body with her eyes! ¡°Zuo Yue, why don¡¯t you accompany your uncle and talk? I¡¯ve been in the kitchen for so long, but I haven¡¯t heard the two of you talking. You¡¯ve been studying in Boston for the past few years, and your uncle has been taking care of you.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan¡¯s voice came from the kitchen, but it was as if she did not hear it. She continued to stare at Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng did not react to her childish glare. He only curled his thin lips slightly, and his eyes were filled with a hint of cold mockery. Xu Yuan found it strange that there was still no sound outside. She put down the fish that she had just cleaned and walked to the kitchen door while wiping her hands. Seeing that Zuo Yue seemed to be looking at Xu Chengfeng, he thought that she was curious about this uncle whom he had never seen before. He smiled and said,¡±¡±Chengfeng, Zuo Yue is still young and has always been spoiled by your brother-in-law and me. If there¡¯s anything impolite, please bear with it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. He¡¯s just a child. He¡¯ll be sensible in a few years.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s tone sounded a little casual, but the faint smile on his handsome face was a little cold like the morning fog, making people inexplicably shudder. ¡°Sigh, although I always say that Zuo Yue is still young, how can she be considered a child? She¡¯s already eighteen years old, but her personality still seems like she¡¯ll never grow up. However, she¡¯s too opinionated and has never listened to her parents.¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned her eyes.¡± Even if Uncle is my elder, do you have to scold me non-stop the moment you see him?¡±¡± ¡°Aiya, our Zuo Yue is embarrassed by what she said. I thought you were thick-skinned enough to not care about anything. In the past, when I talked about you, you would ignore it and leave after listening to it. Why are you unhappy this time?¡±¡±If I don¡¯t tell your uncle about your situation first, I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯ll find out that you¡¯re like a wild pony and won¡¯t know where to start.¡± Xu Yuan smiled.¡± ¡°I live here alone. It¡¯s good that I go to class on time every day. There¡¯s no need to find someone to ¡®take care¡¯ of me!¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s face was full of displeasure as she said,¡± Besides, if you really want to find someone to take care of me, you should find someone from the uncle¡¯s generation, grandfather¡¯s generation, or aunt¡¯s generation. This uncle is too¡­¡± After Zuo Yue paused for a moment, she looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was still calm and composed, and muttered softly,¡±¡±He¡¯s too young. I can¡¯t treat him as an elder at all¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed to agree with what she said. He did not hide his disgust for taking care of her. It turned out that everything was arranged by her mother. She did not really want to take care of her at all! When she saw his attitude that was even more disdainful than hers, Zuo Yue immediately stood up and was about to turn around to reason with her mother. Anyway, she definitely would not leave with this man! ¡°Child, stop talking nonsense. Even if your uncle is only nine years older than you, he is still your elder. Moreover, it¡¯s rare for your little uncle to return to the United States for a period of time, and he agreed to help me take care of you. You don¡¯t even know how rare it is!¡± Zuo Yue held back her words and did not say anything. She only glanced at the man who was still calm and did not intend to interrupt the argument between the mother and daughter with an ugly expression. ¡°Also, although your uncle has been doing business in Russia and has tens of billions of assets under his name, he also has some business and work in the United States. He definitely won¡¯t have time to care about you every day.¡± Chapter 919 - Chapter 919: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Shower (4) Chapter 919: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Shower (4) Hearing this, Zuo Yue felt a little better. It seemed that the so-called care was just in name. Judging from his impatient attitude towards her, even if she really followed him, he would probably not appear in front of her 24 hours a day. ¡°I¡¯ll be more at ease if a successful person like your uncle is by your side to take care of you. At least your life can be corrected and you won¡¯t have to walk around disobediently every day. Since you¡¯re already studying at Boston Medical University, you should study properly and not behave atrociously all day!¡± ¡°The task I gave your uncle is to keep an eye on you. If you do anything bad, he is absolutely qualified to discipline you on behalf of your father and me!¡± The trace of good mood that she had barely recovered earlier was instantly crushed by Xu Yuan¡¯s words. Doing business? A net worth of tens of billions? It had nothing to do with her. The Zuo family did not lack money! Moreover, he was not the successful man that his mother had mentioned. He had even been shot before. Thinking back to what had happened in the car that day, he clearly had something to do with the underworld. Her mother actually did not know what her biological brother did and still called him a successful man! Even if he had money, it was definitely not clean money! However, Xu Chengfeng was still so calm as if what his mother said was true. Zuo Yue stood up unhappily and suddenly turned around to return to her bedroom. The sound of the door closing with a bang was a response to her mother making a decision for her without her permission. ¡°This child¡­¡± Xu Yuan looked in the direction of the bedroom and shook her head. She turned to look at the man who had been silent all this while.¡±Chengfeng, can you stay longer in America this time? Although I know that your business is mainly in Russia and your company headquarters is there, I heard that you can stay in the United States for a few years. Do you plan to go back to Los Angeles to take a look?¡± Xu Chengfeng replied calmly,¡± I can indeed stay in America for a while, but I still have to fly back to Russia occasionally for inspection. I don¡¯t think I can really take care of Zuo Yue for too long. As for Los Angeles, you know the situation between my father and me. I don¡¯t have any plans to go back for the time being.¡±¡± ¡°Sigh.¡± Xu Yuan sighed, but she also knew his temper, so she did not say anything more about the Xu family in Los Angeles. Instead, she continued,¡±You also know that the old man of the Zuo family is old and his health is not good. He needs to be taken care of. Zuo Yue is currently studying in Boston. I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t be able to leave occasionally, so I have no choice but to entrust her to you. It¡¯s good that you can help me monitor her. I know you hate children, but this is good. At least you won¡¯t spoil her. Letting her leave us for a period of time will allow her to gradually grow up and learn to be independent. You can do whatever you can. You don¡¯t have to force yourself.¡± Xu Chengfeng nodded and did not say anything else. ¡°However, Chengfeng¡­¡± Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying,¡±Although I know you don¡¯t want to mention the Xu family again, you¡¯re still¡­¡± It¡¯s been so many years since Dad adopted you wrongly. You went back to the Xu family almost ten years ago to confirm that you¡¯re the real Xu family¡¯s descendant. Now, let those old grudges and mistakes be in the past. Dad is old, so you should go back and be filial, even if it¡¯s just for a few days.¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡± There¡¯s indeed no need to mention those things from the past. Whether or not I plan to go back, when I will go back, whether or not I want to see him, I know what to do.¡±¡± ¡± Yes.¡± Xu Yuan nodded.¡± Will you stay in Boston for the next few years?¡±¡± ¡°The investment business of several new projects of KP Group is distributed in New York and Boston in the United States. Because there are more companies in Boston, I will stay in Boston for more time.¡± ¡°The expansion of new projects between the branch company and the subsidiary company should be very busy. If I entrust Zuo Yue to you like this, will it affect your work progress?¡± ¡°As long as she doesn¡¯t cause trouble everywhere, it shouldn¡¯t affect her.¡± The corners of Xu Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Although he won¡¯t cause trouble everywhere, his personality is too stubborn. He¡¯s disobedient and undisciplined. It might be inevitable that some small situations will happen¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face was filled with an indifferent and calm smile. He thought of the little girl who had been forced into the car in the rain that day. Her face was full of fear and she had no choice but to help him stop the bleeding. He recalled how she had accidentally bumped into his arms that day, and how she had stood up with a red face and secretly glanced at him. Recalling Zuo Yue¡¯s angry and reddened eyes as she slammed the door and hid in the bedroom, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were indifferent, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth that did not reach his eyes. .. Night fell. Xu Chengfeng had no choice but to agree to stay in Zuo Yue¡¯s small apartment tonight under Xu Yuan¡¯s overly enthusiastic hospitality. Although the apartment was not big, it was at least two bedrooms and one living room. Xu Yuan and Zuo Yue lived in one room, and the other room was reserved for him. Xu Yuanwai was busy with something in the living room, but Zuo Yue could tell that her mother was in a good mood because she had seen her brother again. She was so excited that she did not plan to sleep at this late hour. In the room, Zuo Yue mistook the apple in her hand for Xu Chengfeng as she chewed on it, wishing that man would disappear as soon as possible. He was clearly a person who had lived through a bloody life, but even her mother did not know his true background. That day, the person driving the car kept calling Xu Chengfeng ¡®Boss¡¯. It was obvious that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s status and background were not simple. If she were to stay by such a person¡¯s side, would she be able to return to the Zuo family in Los Angeles after graduation in a few years? After finishing the apple, Zuo Yue¡¯s expression was still very ugly. She got up and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower before going to bed. She was still young and did not want to stay up late and get dark circles because of a man who had inexplicably become her elder! After she walked out of the bedroom, the living room was silent. Zuo Yue hugged her clothes and looked into the living room again. Her mother was still packing in the living room just now. Did she go downstairs to the supermarket to buy things? It¡¯s already so late. She shouldn¡¯t be going out to buy things, right? Zuo Yue turned around and walked towards the bathroom. However, just as she approached the bathroom door, she heard the sound of water coming from inside. It turned out that his mother had gone in to take a shower first. However, she did not go back to the bedroom to ask for a change of clothes. It was her first time living in this small apartment, so she did not prepare any clothes to change into. After washing, she would definitely not feel comfortable wearing her daytime clothes. Zuo Yue glanced at the loose pajamas in her hands and directly opened the bathroom door and walked in.¡±¡±Mom, I¡¯ll let you wear my pajamas¡­¡± She choked on the last word! Chapter 920 - Chapter 920: Chasing the Wind and Asking the Moon-Being Thrown Out (5) Chapter 920: Chasing the Wind and Asking the Moon-Being Thrown Out (5) The moment she opened the door, the steam rising from the bathroom blew into her face. In the white mist, what she saw was a naked man with a body so good that it almost made her vomit blood! Zuo Yue had never seen a man with such perfect muscles in her life! The proportions of his body were absolutely perfect, causing Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes to instantly freeze. Her gaze froze as she looked at the man¡¯s strong and slender body slowly moving downwards. Amid the mist, water droplets slid down from his broad shoulders, slid down his tight and stylish waist, and then down¡­ Realizing where she was looking at, Zuo Yue snapped back to her senses. She raised her hand and quickly covered her eyes, but her entire face turned red and she turned her back in an instant. However, when she closed her eyes, the scene below the man¡¯s lower abdomen was still reflected in her mind¡­ He really couldn¡¯t help but curse! How did she see that place? Xu Chengfeng had also noticed Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze when she suddenly barged in. Compared to Zuo Yue¡¯s flushed face and quick back turning attitude, he simply turned off the shower and wrapped his lower body with a towel at the same time. He glanced at her coldly and said,¡±¡±You can¡¯t even take a bath in peace. Is your upbringing to not knock when you know there¡¯s someone in the bathroom?¡± When Zuo Yue heard that, she turned around abruptly. The blush on her face had not faded, but her eyes were filled with anger as she said,¡±¡±This is my apartment! I didn¡¯t know you would run into my bathroom to take a shower in the middle of the night! I thought it was my mom bathing inside! He wanted to bring her a change of clothes, so he didn¡¯t knock on the door! What has it got to do with family education!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s angry little face was still flushed red, but she stared at his black hair that had not been wiped and accidentally lost her mind again. His hair wasn¡¯t short, but it wasn¡¯t long either. It was the kind of hair that could be styled into a man¡¯s hairstyle, but even if he didn¡¯t specially style it, he still looked handsome and natural. Moreover, water was dripping down from his black hair, dripping drop by drop across the man¡¯s well-defined facial features, causing the scene she had just seen to instantly appear in Zuo Yue¡¯s mind. In the past few years, she had secretly watched a few Japanese action movies with her best friend. It was not that she had never seen a man¡¯s private part, but¡­The visual impact of this scene was too great! Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold eyes looked at her still flushed face as she stood rooted to the ground.¡±Haven¡¯t you seen enough?¡± Zuo Yue snapped back to her senses and looked at the man who did not occupy her bathroom at all and was even wrapped in her towel. She said angrily,¡±¡±Get this straight! This is my bathroom!¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows coldly and said nothing. ¡°There¡¯s more! You used my towel!¡± She emphasized again and glared at him at the same time.¡±You didn¡¯t even know to lock the door when you were bathing in someone else¡¯s house. Even if I saw you naked, you can¡¯t blame me! Besides, I¡¯ve already said it just now. I thought my mother¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, Xu Chengfeng walked past her. The moment he brushed past her, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she smelled the fragrance of the shower gel on the man¡¯s body. That was the shower gel she had just bought¡­ At the thought of this, she instantly turned around and opened the cabinet in the bathroom. She immediately turned around and cursed outside,¡±Don¡¯t I have an opened bottle of shower gel? Why did you open a new one?¡± Xu Chengfeng had already ignored her, but when he heard the commotion in the bathroom, he frowned impatiently and replied coldly,¡±¡±I have mysophobia and never use things that others have used before.¡± Zuo Yue immediately took two deep breaths and ran out quickly. The fire in her eyes burned so fiercely that she wanted to burn his cold back.¡±Crazy! Why are you using my towel if you¡¯re a neat freak?¡± Xu Chengfeng had already walked to the bedroom door. When he heard her furious words, he originally planned to ignore her, but Zuo Yue had already walked over quickly.¡±Why would my mother want to hand me over to someone like you? The last time I was in front of Boston Medical University, I¡­¡± ¡°You suddenly barged in. If I didn¡¯t cover myself with a towel, would I have stood there and let you watch me rape her?¡±However, Xu Chengfeng directly skipped over what she said about what happened a month ago and interrupted her with a cold and distant voice. ¡°Watching rape?¡± Zuo Yue was so angry that she calmed down. Suddenly, she smiled strangely and went to his side. She stared at his naked back with evil intentions. It was a pity that she could not see the glory of his previous self now, but her eyes were obviously looking at him as if she wanted to rape him. When Xu Chengfeng suddenly shot her a cold glance with an unfriendly expression, Zuo Yue snorted and played with the pajamas in her hand. At the same time, she said,¡±¡±When you asked me to treat your wound and stop the bleeding, you even asked me to take off your clothes. Why didn¡¯t you say that I was looking at you?¡± Xu Chengfeng was expressionless, as if she was only talking about what had happened between her and someone else, and he was not the man who was covered in blood in the car last time. ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? Are you afraid that I¡¯ll tell my mother about your unusual identity?¡±Zuo Yue looked at him provocatively.¡± Then beg me. If you beg me, I won¡¯t tell my mother. Otherwise, if I¡¯m unhappy one day, I might tell everyone that you, Xu Chengfeng, are not a simple CEO of the KP Group. The youngest son of the Xu family is not doing a simple business in Russia. Maybe you have some inextricable relationship with the underworld¡­¡± Ah! What are you doing?¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt her vision darken. She was forced to lean heavily against the wall. The man in front of her lowered his head and approached her. His dark eyes carried a hint of killing intent and coldness. At the same time, cold words slowly sounded from his mouth. ¡°If I was afraid that someone would leak the news, I wouldn¡¯t have let you leave with your life on that day. If you want to threaten me, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to return to your mother¡¯s stomach to cultivate for a few more years.¡± As soon as the man finished speaking, he suddenly stepped back and turned around expressionlessly to enter the bedroom. The sound of the door closing was cold and heartless. Zuo Yue was still stunned on the spot, sticking close to the wall. Her face was red and white for a long time. When she finally managed to regain her senses, she turned to look at the wall behind her. She recalled how Xu Chengfeng had pinned her against the wall and imprisoned her¡­ Zuo Yue leaned against the wall stiffly, her hands gradually clenched into fists by her sides. She suddenly turned around and raised her hand to slam on the bedroom door.¡±Xu Chengfeng, come out! Don¡¯t you have mysophobia? Give me back my towel! I want to see how serious your mysophobia is! If you have the ability, then return the towel to me-¡± Just as the last word fell, the door in front of him was suddenly pulled open from the inside. Zuo Yue, who was already leaning on the door, suddenly staggered and almost jumped in. However, before she could see the man in front of her clearly, a towel was suddenly thrown over her head. The moment her vision was blocked, her shoulder was firmly grabbed and she was thrown out mercilessly. Chapter 921 - Chapter 921: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-She Wants to Kill Him (6) Chapter 921: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-She Wants to Kill Him (6) The door behind him slammed shut again. Zuo Yue¡¯s head was covered with a white towel that smelled of shower gel. Her vision was dark, but her mind was in a mess. She first thought about how this man had been seriously injured a month ago. Although a month was enough for the wound to heal, he was still so strong. She was actually thrown out by him?! However, she didn¡¯t see the wound on his lower abdomen clearly in the bathroom just now. She only had a vague feeling that his injury seemed to have completely recovered. However, she didn¡¯t notice that the scar left by the gunshot wound on his lower abdomen had already covered her eyes because she accidentally saw the lower part. That place under that man¡­ Zuo Yue¡¯s nose was filled with the fragrance of the shower gel. She suddenly came back to her senses! The towel on her head was right in front of her face, and it seemed to be wrapping around his body! Zuo Yue suddenly pulled off the towel on her head. She knew that Xu Chengfeng had probably locked the door from the inside. She turned around to see if there was anything to smash the door! She wanted to kill him! ¡°Zuo Yue, it¡¯s so late. Why aren¡¯t you sleeping? What are you doing outside your uncle¡¯s room?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, suddenly walked in from outside. When she entered the door, she saw Zuo Yue¡¯s messy hair and an expression that looked like she was about to explode. She looked at her with a puzzled expression. Zuo Yue was speechless. The anger in her chest seemed to have died down in an instant. She resisted the urge to turn around and smash the door. She glanced at the shopping bag in Xu Yuan¡¯s hand and said,¡±Mom, it¡¯s so late, why are you still going out to buy things? Are you really at ease to leave me alone at home?¡± Xu Yuan could hear Zuo Yue¡¯s displeasure, but she walked in with a smile.¡±¡±If it were any other man, of course I wouldn¡¯t be at ease. That¡¯s your uncle. Why would I be worried?¡± ¡°I I can kill you.¡± ¡± Besides, you¡¯re Chengfeng¡¯s niece. Even if the two of you are not related by blood, Chengfeng might not be interested in a crazy girl like you who doesn¡¯t have any steadiness at all. He likes quiet and has always hated chattering girls. So Zuo Yue, after you go to your uncle¡¯s place, you have to learn to restrain your temper, understand?¡± Zuo Yue felt as if there were firecrackers burning in her chest. If she continued to talk to her mother, she would probably explode on the spot. ¡°If you want to stay, go stay with him yourself! I¡¯m not going! I¡¯d rather live in school than go with him!¡±Zuo Yue angrily threw the pajamas in her hands onto the sofa. ¡°Isn¡¯t your school full this year? There are so many international students coming from abroad. As a local American student, you should stay outside obediently. Moreover, you have no choice but to go now. I¡¯ve already checked out of your room.¡± ¡°Retreat? When did he quit? You clearly just told me this afternoon¡­¡± ¡°Just now, when I went out to buy things, I met the landlord of your apartment. After explaining the situation to the landlord, they agreed. I also said that I would help you pack your luggage and move out within two days.¡± ¡°Mom! No matter how disobedient I was at home in the past and how much I made you and Dad angry, you wouldn¡¯t go so far as to return my apartment just like that, right? I¡¯m already an adult. I have my personal freedom. I don¡¯t want to be with that Xu¡­¡± Xu Yuan immediately glanced at her with dissatisfaction. Zuo Yue immediately changed the way she addressed her with a face full of unwillingness.¡±I mean, I don¡¯t want to live with that uncle. No matter what, he¡¯s a man. Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s especially inconvenient for me to live with him?¡± ¡°Do you think your uncle is willing to live with you?¡±Xu Yuan smiled.¡± I¡¯m just letting you stay at his place for the time being. Chengfeng has a villa near your school. He doesn¡¯t go back often. I¡¯m arranging for you to stay at his villa. Isn¡¯t it much more spacious than this small apartment? However, because he promised to help me take care of you, he might go back more often than usual in the future. But don¡¯t worry, your uncle knows what to do. You¡¯re a big girl, of course he knows how to keep his distance. Don¡¯t think about all that nonsense and stay in Boston for school!¡± What distance? She saw something she shouldn¡¯t have seen in the bathroom just now¡­ It was just the first day and she was already like this. If she really moved to his place, how was she going to live her life in the future? ¡°Oh, right.¡± Xu Yuan suddenly opened the shopping bag she had just put down.¡±¡±I couldn¡¯t fall asleep. When I went out, I went to the nearby department store and bought you a dress and a few sets of clothes suitable for students. You usually wear those jeans or baseball uniforms. Isn¡¯t it good to dress like a little girl? Since she had already grown up and was about to slowly learn to live independently, she should change her usual clothes and dress up. She should slowly learn to be a little feminine and not always run around like a child who had not grown up.¡± Zuo Yue listened to her mother¡¯s nagging, and her ears were about to grow calluses. She endured the various torments in her heart and finally picked up the shopping bag. She nodded and bowed as she said,¡±I know, I know. Mom, can you let me go? I just came to Boston to study. I¡¯m not getting married. Do you have to¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ve really been spoiled by me. I¡¯ll get your uncle to discipline you in the future!¡± Zuo Yue wanted to roll her eyes when she heard the words ¡®little uncle¡¯. She tried her best to smile.¡±I¡¯ll listen to you in the future. Can you let me continue to live here¡­¡± Mother Zuo also smiled at her, but her face instantly turned cold.¡±¡±No.¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. Shrugging his shoulders, he said with a pained expression,¡±¡±Mom, you¡¯re sending a sheep into the tiger¡¯s mouth. You don¡¯t even know your own brother, and you¡¯re entrusting me to him. What if he sells me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to sell it. Anyway, you¡¯ve never made me worry. If you really sell it, I¡¯ll be relieved.¡±Mother Zuo said seriously. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and looked like she was about to cry. ¡°Alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and take a shower and rest early. We still have to pack up and move out tomorrow.¡±Mother Zuo smiled and patted her head. When Zuo Yue heard about bathing, she looked at the towel on her arm and her expression became even more indescribable. ¡°Mom, I want¡­¡± ¡°You can¡¯t think about anything. I¡¯ve spoiled you too much all these years. I¡¯ve let you do whatever you want. This time, I definitely won¡¯t condone your willfulness. Zuo Yue, if you dare to raise conditions with me again, I¡¯ll freeze the card in your hand from tomorrow onwards. When you don¡¯t have money to spend, you¡¯ll know the benefits of having a family to take care of you.¡± ¡°.. This move of yours is a little ruthless!¡± ¡°Sigh, in order to let my daughter learn how to live independently outside, and at the same time, let her have someone to help take care of her in any emergency, I really went through a lot of trouble.¡±Mother Mother Zuo raised her eyebrows. Chapter 922 - Chapter 922: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-His Company (7) Chapter 922: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-His Company (7) The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Mother Zuo shot her a cold glance. Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed!¡± Zuo Yue looked dejected. She hugged the towel in her arms and walked towards the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom door, she turned her head aggrievedly. She really wanted to say that the only towel in the house was the one Xu Chengfeng had wrapped around his crotch. Even if he had only wrapped it around his crotch for a few minutes after showering, could she not be a clean freak just like him? She even had mental mysophobia! ¡°Hurry up and take a bath!¡± Mother Zuo showed her power. ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue went into the bathroom dejectedly. ***** The next day, she was supposed to move her luggage to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s place. However, after sleeping for a night, Zuo Yue found an excuse to say that there was a class in the morning and she had to go to school first. Thus, she slipped away. It just so happened that Xu Chengfeng had to leave early in the morning. Zuo¡¯s mother had no choice but to delay the matter of moving the luggage until the afternoon or tomorrow. However, Zuo Yue was obviously finding an excuse to slip away at the last minute. As Zuo Yue¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan could see through her daughter¡¯s tricks. It was the weekend, and there were no classes in school. Zuo Yue knew that she could not lie for long, but she did not want to go back and move her things. She did not understand Xu Chengfeng at all. If she had only seen him for the first time yesterday, perhaps she would have felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable. However, that rainy day, the bloody banknotes on the car window, and the terrifying scene of being pointed at by a gun in the car, she would probably never forget it for the rest of her life. Walking around Boston¡¯s business street, I was feeling a little hungry when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a technology company building in front of me. Last week, I passed by that technology company but I didn¡¯t see any changes in the logo outside the door. Now that I looked at it, I realized that I didn¡¯t know when the two obvious corporate logo letters were added. Although Zuo Yue had never paid attention to any business magazines or media news, she had indeed heard of the famous Korean Group in Russia. So when she found out that Xu Chengfeng was the head of the Korean Group yesterday, she was shocked, but all the shock was covered by all kinds of rejection and disgust in her heart. Now that he saw the logo on the door of the technology company, he guessed that the newly expanded branches and subsidiary companies in Boston that Xu Chengfeng mentioned were newly acquired companies. This technology company was acquired by the KP Group? She wanted to see how a person who was clearly in the underworld could be like her brother in the business world! Zuo Yue walked straight to the technology company. When the receptionist on the first floor saw her and was about to ask her why she was here, Zuo Yue looked around with a nonchalant expression and said,¡±Is your BOSS here?¡± The receptionist was stunned.¡±¡±Miss, what you¡¯re saying is¡­¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng.¡± Zuo Yue actually just wanted to try her luck. After all, Xu Chengfeng went out early in the morning. She did not know where he went. Anyway, she was bored and wanted to try her luck. ¡°Do you know that our current BOSS is Boss Xu? Miss, you are?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about who I am. If you really need a name, just tell him my surname is Zuo. I¡¯ll ask him if he¡¯s here. If he is, I¡¯ll go find him.¡± ¡°Please wait a moment.¡± Normally, the receptionist would chase away an unknown young lady who suddenly came to see the BOSS. However, this young lady actually knew that their company had changed hands. She even knew that the BOSS was coincidentally here today. She probably had a powerful background. It was better to ask the higher-ups¡­ A few minutes later, the receptionist at the front desk returned. After giving Zuo Yue a polite glance, she said softly,¡±¡±Miss Zuo, you can go up now. Boss just finished a meeting and is in his office.¡± Zuo Yue did not expect that she would really hit the jackpot. Xu Chengfeng was really here? She wanted to see how well he was disguising himself. He was the head of KP, and she wanted to know if he was doing anything shady behind his back. The receptionist politely let her enter the elevator that only VIPs could take. When she reached the tenth floor of this technology company, she walked out of the elevator and saw that the spacious corridor was clean and bright. She had vaguely seen the HQ building of the KP company on television news before. It was many times larger than this technology company that was only over 20 floors high. As the president of the KP Group, he returned to the United States to acquire various small companies and even personally oversee these small companies. No one knew what he was up to. She didn¡¯t care if he was a cat, a dog, a god, or a ghost. She had to figure it out and then list the evidence in front of her mother one by one so that her freedom wouldn¡¯t be inexplicably restricted! Outside the office of the president of the technology company, Zuo Yue had just approached and stood quietly outside the door for a while. Seeing that it was very quiet inside, she hesitated for a moment before walking to the other side of the office and looking inside through the French window. Xu Chengfeng seemed to be resting. He looked fine yesterday, and today, he came to the company he had just acquired for a meeting. His body, which had been seriously injured a month ago, probably could not take it anymore. She could feel his exhaustion and paleness through the glass window. However, even though this man was leaning against the boss chair behind the desk and closing his eyes to take a nap, he still gave off a cold feeling. Zuo Yue admitted that he was a good-looking man, but his temper was a little bad! She simply pushed the door open and walked in quietly. When she reached the desk, she saw that he was still sitting quietly behind the desk, as if he was really asleep. Zuo Yue first looked around the office before finally returning her gaze to Xu Chengfeng. She had to admit that this man she had to call uncle was really good-looking. However, when he was awake, he was too aloof and cold. Even when he was injured, the coldness and killing intent that covered his body made her shudder. He was clearly a cold person, but she did not expect him to look so much gentler when he was asleep. Zuo Yue originally wanted to see if he had really fallen asleep, but she accidentally turned her attention to his face and then his shirt. When she walked around the desk, she saw the shirt and trousers he was wearing. He really looked like a high-class elite. If she did not know that he had a gunshot wound on his body, even Zuo Yue would have been deceived by his high and mighty appearance. She had just quietly moved closer to him, wanting to see if he was really asleep or faking it. As soon as she got closer, the man¡¯s eyes suddenly opened. Although there was a hint of drowsiness, it was only for a moment. His dark eyes had returned to their usual clarity and coldness. Chapter 923 - Chapter 923: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Between the Legs (8) Chapter 923: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Between the Legs (8) Zuo Yue gasped when she met his cold gaze. ¡°Well, I¡­¡± She instinctively took a step back. Just as she was about to explain why she was approaching, there was a knock on the door. Then, the secretary¡¯s voice came,¡±President Xu, there¡¯s a lady who claims to be Xu Yuan here to see you. She says she¡¯s your sister.¡± Zuo Yue had yet to recover from her shock when she was shocked once again. She immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.¡± Why is my mom here?!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her expressionlessly, as if he was not affected by her unruly behavior just now, but his eyes clearly seemed to mock the tacit understanding between the mother and daughter. Zuo Yue felt uncomfortable when she saw his cold smile. She turned around and planned to run away. She definitely could not let her mother find out that she had run to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s company to cause trouble. Just as she quickly walked to the office door and was about to open it, the secretary outside continued,¡± The lady named Xu Yuan said that she had something urgent to look for you, but she couldn¡¯t get through to your phone just now, so she came straight to the company. She said that she was one of the personss-in-charge of the Zuo¡¯s Group, and showed her identification. Because she came too quickly, she couldn¡¯t stop her. Xu Yuan had already come up and was about to arrive¡­¡± Ah, she¡¯s already here.¡± Zuo Yue stopped in front of the door and looked at the man who was still sitting behind the desk with a flustered expression. Xu Chengfeng did not change his position from the beginning to the end. It was as if her sudden appearance, sudden departure, or her flustered appearance would not affect him at all. It was as if he had completely ignored her existence or treated her as a child, not bothering to pay attention to her at all. ¡°What should we do? What should he do! If my mom finds out that I ran to you behind her back, she¡¯ll definitely think that I came to cause trouble and scold me again!¡±Zuo Yue paced around the office anxiously, worried that her mother would freeze the card in her hand in a fit of anger. If that was really the case, wouldn¡¯t she really have to wag her tail in front of Xu Chengfeng in the future? ¡°Ahhhhhh, I¡¯m going crazy! Why is my mom here at this time! She came to Boston this time to go against me!¡±Zuo Yue turned around and walked to the corner of the office, trying to find a place to hide. However, there was no place for her to hide in the corner or the sofa. The sofa was even leaning against the wall. There was no place for her to hide at all. This was a technology company that had just been acquired. There were technological elements everywhere. There were not many things in the office, but it was spacious and bright. Other than a large desk, there was nothing that could block the view. The footsteps outside the door were already approaching. Although Xu Chengfeng did not say to let Xu Yuan in, Zuo Yue knew her mother¡¯s character. She would suddenly show her identification from the Zuo Corporation and rush over so urgently. There must be something urgent. Moreover, she was already outside the office, so Xu Chengfeng had no reason not to let her in. Xu Chengfeng just sat there quietly, watching the little girl who seemed to be unable to calm down in front of him every time. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he could not find a place to hide. He was very happy to see her flustered and helpless look. It was very similar to the nervous but forced calm look she had when she covered his abdomen wound in the car that day. ¡°Xu Chengfeng, do all the higher-ups like you like the feeling of being high and mighty? Why did he have to put the office on such a high floor? If only it was on the first floor, I could have jumped out of the window and run away!¡± Zuo Yue anxiously turned around and mumbled,¡±¡±Even if it¡¯s the second floor, at least I won¡¯t be crippled if I jump down!¡± She had already walked around the French windows behind him for a long time until Xu Yuan¡¯s voice suddenly came from outside. ¡°Chengfeng, if you¡¯re not busy, let me talk to you in your office. Something happened to the Xu family.¡± Zuo Yue was not in the mood to listen to what Xu Yuan was saying. She only turned her eyes the moment she heard Xu Yuan¡¯s voice and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had a calm expression, with a pleading look. When he saw her gaze, Xu Chengfeng looked at her moist, round, and pleading eyes. He raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and looked at her indifferently.¡±Your mother won¡¯t eat you, so why are you hiding?¡± ¡°She won¡¯t eat me, but if she finds out that I¡¯m here, she¡¯ll definitely suspect my motives. If she freezes my card again, I¡¯ll have to live on air in Boston in the future!¡± Zuo Yue felt wronged and said,¡± Although our Zuo family is not short of money, my parents are very strict about spending money. They never let me spend money recklessly. The living expenses in the card are only enough for me to eat and drink every day. If they don¡¯t even give me living expenses, how can I survive in school?!¡±¡± As she spoke, she suddenly glanced at the desk in front of him. From her angle behind him, she could see that there was a large space under the desk. If her mother had walked in through the door, she would definitely not have noticed everything inside the desk! Noticing that Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze had fallen on the desk, Xu Chengfeng immediately swept her a lukewarm glance.¡±¡±You¡­¡± The moment he said the word ¡± you,¡± he was going to tell her not to have any ideas about his desk. He would never let her play this kind of hide-and-seek game with Xu Yuan in the office. However, Zuo Yue had already quickly ducked and ducked under his desk. When the knocking sound came from outside again, Zuo Yue curled up and hid under him. She raised her hand to plead and whispered,¡±¡±Please, don¡¯t let my mom find out about me.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold and unmoved. He even frowned, as if he did not intend to help her hide it. ¡°Uncle¡­On the account that I accidentally helped you stop the bleeding last time, I beg you, uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue begged as she tugged at his trousers. ¡°Chengfeng, is it convenient for me to go in?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s voice was still heard outside the door. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze swept past Zuo Yue¡¯s face indifferently. Finally, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the door. He said indifferently,¡±¡±Come in.¡± The moment she heard the office door open, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart jumped to her throat. She carefully hid under the desk and raised her head to look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression to make sure that he would not help her. As a result, she raised her head in an instant and saw him put down his two long legs that were casually crossed¡­ Putting aside the fact that his long legs that were wrapped under his pants were many times better looking than the male models on television, Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly met with his slightly open legs¡­ That bulge¡­ ¡°..???!!!¡± Why was he facing her right here!!! Chapter 924 - Chapter 924: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hiding Under His Crotch (9) Chapter 924: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hiding Under His Crotch (9) She was sitting on her knees and curled up under his desk. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s legs were spread apart. Although it was a very normal and casual sitting posture, her head was lowered under the desk and it looked like she was about to get close to his crotch! Your sister! What kind of strange scene was this? Xu Yuan had already walked into the office. After entering, she said,¡±Zuo Yue found an excuse to slip away early in the morning, and you suddenly came to this newly acquired company for a meeting. The two of you are surprisingly consistent.¡± At the same time, Zuo Yue was staring awkwardly at the area between the man¡¯s legs. Having grown up in America, she knew that Western men were tall and strong. Even if their private parts were calm and not stimulated by desire, there would still be some protruding marks in the front of their pants, just like the outline of a woman¡¯s chest. This gender characteristic did not need to be deliberately hidden. However, this was the first time she had seen a man¡¯s lower part at such a close distance¡­ Although Xu Chengfeng was wearing a pair of trousers that were not considered tight, it was just a very normal suit with a suit. There was no excess in the cut and fit. Moreover, this man looked like a true elite, like a living male god of abstinence. But the key was that she was now stuck to his crotch! She was leaning against her uncle¡¯s crotch! She had just used the towel he had tied around her crotch last night, and she was already so close to him today! Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was already echoing with the sound of ¡± F * ck!¡± Zuo Yue was in a dilemma, but because she could not move because she was hiding below, even her head could only maintain a fixed position. Xu Chengfeng did not look at her at this moment, as if she did not exist. But at least he didn¡¯t tell Xu Yuan that she was hiding here. She didn¡¯t know if she should be glad or give him the middle finger and scold him for not being compatible with her! ¡°It seems that you still don¡¯t understand your daughter well enough.¡±Xu Chengfeng responded to Xu Yuan¡¯s words just now, but his tone was calm and unperturbed, as if it was just an evaluation. Xu Yuan did not hear any hint in his words. He was hiding it between his legs¡­Ah, no, Zuo Yue, who was hiding under his desk, felt like her heart was about to jump out. ¡°When Zuo Yue was just born, I spoiled her too much. As a result, her spoiled personality did not change even after she grew up. Now that she¡¯s already eighteen, I don¡¯t know if this spoiled personality will follow her for the rest of her life.¡± Xu Yuan sighed as she spoke.¡± But even if I couldn¡¯t reach her on her phone, she wouldn¡¯t have gone too far. She probably went to school or went shopping with a friend. She¡¯s my own daughter. Even if I can¡¯t control her, at least I know her nature.¡±¡± ¡°Nature?¡± Xu Chengfeng said these two words lightly. At the same time, he suddenly glanced at the little thing who was nervously sitting under his desk. Sensing his mocking gaze, Zuo Yue looked up and met his eyes. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze shifted away at the same time as if he did not see anything. He looked at Xu Yuan again and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that there was an urgent matter? What happened to the Xu family?¡± Xu Yuan immediately walked over until she was in front of his desk. Zuo Yue heard her mother¡¯s footsteps and immediately held her breath like a cicada in winter. Her hands also quietly formed fists. ¡°An hour ago, I received a call from the Xu family in Los Angeles. The servant said that Dad suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage last night. Fortunately, he was found and sent to the hospital immediately. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid that the two of us siblings wouldn¡¯t be able to stand here today and would have to rush back to attend the funeral.¡± Upon hearing Xu Yuan¡¯s words, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face only showed a cold smile.¡±¡±It seems that your feelings for that old man from the Xu family are getting weaker and weaker.¡± Xu Yuan looked at him and said,¡± Chengfeng, no matter how many unfair things Dad did to you when he was young, and no matter how muddleheaded he was when he was young, cerebral hemorrhage hemorrhage is not an ordinary illness. When I received the call, I heard that although he managed to keep his life, he will be paralyzed from now on. He may only be lying in bed or in a wheelchair forever. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to go back and see him?¡±¡± ¡°What for? Take one last look at him before he dies?¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at Xu Yuan calmly.¡±¡± You should know that I¡¯ve never really taken the Xu family seriously after all these years. Even when I was forced to return to my family, I¡¯m nothing but a ¡®Ken¡¯ to me. The name ¡®Xu Chengfeng¡¯ is the most unpredictable mistake and accident in my life.¡± ¡°Although there was something else behind the matter of the wrong child back then, at least Dad has already repented and admitted his mistake to you back then. You have never returned to the Xu family for so many years, and now he has already¡­I don¡¯t have many days left to live.¡± Xu Yuan sighed as she spoke.¡± Chengfeng, the Xu family¡¯s business still needs to be inherited. Although I¡¯m the eldest daughter of the Xu family, I¡¯m already the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family. I have a family and a job in the Zuo family. So, I definitely can¡¯t go back and take over the Xu family¡¯s business. Are you going to give up what should have belonged to you just because of Dad¡¯s mistakes and selfish decisions?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only looked at her indifferently, his lips carrying a hint of mockery and disdain. ¡°I know that even without the Xu family, the businesses under your name can¡¯t be underestimated. Moreover, the KP Group that you founded is a business legend in Russia. However, you are still the blood of the Xu family. The Xu family¡¯s foundation needs you. Moreover, Dad is already¡­¡± ¡°If you want to go back, go back yourself.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes gradually turned cold because Xu Yuan wanted to get back at him.¡±¡±The relationship between me and the Xu family has long been very clear. Whether I return or not is up to me. It¡¯s not like you can forcefully change my mind with a few words of advice.¡± Xu Yuan paused.¡± I do intend to go back, but Zuo Yue¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you entrust her to me for the time being?¡±¡± She¡¯s an 18-year-old girl,¡± Xu Chengfeng said coldly.¡± She shouldn¡¯t need me to hug her, coax her, and tease her with candy every day. As long as she needs it, I can spare no effort to help her.¡±¡± When she finally heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s approval, Xu Yuan sighed.¡±¡± Alright, I¡¯ll leave Zuo Yue to you then. I¡¯ll fly back to Los Angeles this afternoon, but about helping Zuo Yue carry her luggage to your place¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help her move. You can go back to Los Angeles without worry.¡±Xu Chengfeng promised again, but his tone was indifferent, as if he was only dealing with Xu Yuan. It was as if the person in the middle of their conversation was not in the office at all. Chapter 925 - Chapter 925: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Intimate Contact (10) Chapter 925: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Intimate Contact (10) If Zuo Yue continued to listen, her heart was about to jump out! Finally, after Xu Yuan explained some of her habits and some small matters, she left in a hurry because she received a call from Los Angeles. Zuo Yue let out a long sigh when she heard Xu Yuan walk out and the office door close again. My mother is finally gone! After confirming that Xu Yuan had walked far away, Zuo Yue was about to stand up, but just as she was about to move, she felt her knees ache. Her legs had already gone numb from kneeling down there. She had changed from a squatting position to a kneeling position to make it easier to hide, but now her legs were so sore that she could not stand up smoothly. She gritted her teeth and reached out to rub around her knees, wanting to relieve herself before getting up. [Unauthorized] Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded above her head. His voice was cold and indifferent. Zuo Yue heard him but ignored him. She rubbed her knees and muttered,¡±¡±Who wants you to coax me and feed me candy every day, you egomaniac¡­¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± The man¡¯s voice suddenly lowered. Zuo Yue felt a chill down her spine and instinctively stood up from under the desk.¡±¡±I, I didn¡¯t say anything!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly moved her hand away from her knee and stood up to leave the dangerous area near him. However, as soon as she stood up, she stumbled forward because of the sharp pain and numbness in her knee. ¡°Oh!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face smashed into the man¡¯s chest. Her hands instinctively grabbed forward and seemed to accidentally grab the base of his thigh¡­From the feel of it, it should be a long time ago. Her palm was pressed against his thigh, and the back of her hand was almost pressed against his thigh¡­ In her trance, she seemed to hear the man¡¯s almost inaudible sigh. However, the sigh was definitely not because of her helpless actions, but because he felt very regretful for taking over such a big trouble. Zuo Yue did not wait for him to speak and quickly got up and retreated from his embrace. She did not have time to look at his shirt that was crumpled by her. Her hand quickly moved away from the hot heat between his legs. She even shook her hand as she retreated, her face full of embarrassment. It was not until she retreated to the sofa at the base of the wall that she staggered and sat down. What a ghost! Every time she saw this man, something would happen! Besides, did she have a special affinity with the underlings of the underbelly? It had been less than twenty-four hours since last night, and he had already touched her so intimately with his hands¡­ Zuo Yue could not help but continue to wave her hands. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her hand movement indifferently. Finally, he stopped sitting quietly and stood up suddenly. Although he did not walk over, he had just stood up when the oppressive feeling of black clouds pressing down on the city instantly invaded him. Zuo Yue hurriedly stopped her actions and looked at him awkwardly. Only then did she remember to explain,¡±My legs were numb just now, so I couldn¡¯t stand properly. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and casually tugged at the shirt that had a slight crease on it. Fortunately, the quality of the shirt was high, and the slight crease was instantly smoothed out. However, it was obvious that Xu Chengfeng did not intend to say anything more about her collision just now. He only looked at her leg again and said,¡±Can we leave now?¡± She didn¡¯t expect him to speak to her so calmly. Zuo Yue heaved a sigh of relief. He probably still treated himself as her elder and didn¡¯t want to argue with her. After Zuo Yue massed her legs, she stood up and walked two steps in front of the sofa. Then, she said,¡±¡±Alright, we can go now.¡± ¡°You heard what your mother said just now. She¡¯s flying back to Los Angeles this afternoon.¡± ¡°Yes, I heard it¡­¡± ¡°When do you plan to move your luggage?¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment and knew that everything was set in stone. Moreover, on account of Xu Chengfeng not telling her mother about her hiding here, although she still felt that this uncle of hers did not match her birth characters and that nothing good would happen once she met him, she more or less dispelled her resistance on account of his mercy just now. ¡°Tonight or tomorrow¡­¡± ¡°I have to go to the technology factory in the suburbs of Boston tomorrow. I don¡¯t have time. I¡¯ll move tonight.¡± ¡°Oh, tonight then.¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she felt that the scene just now was still a little awkward. She raised her hand and pushed the hair on her cheek behind her ear, revealing her fair and cute ears. At the same time, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng who was looking at her. After thinking for a while, she said,¡±That, Xu¡­¡± As soon as she met his cold gaze, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She paused for a moment before changing her words.¡±Little, little uncle¡­¡± ¡°If you have anything to say, just say it directly.¡± ¡°Since my mother has entrusted me to you now, from the perspective of us being family, for the sake of my safety in the next few years of studying in Boston, can you tell me, other than your identity as the president of the HR Group, what else do you have¡­Identity¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s tone was a little stuttering. She tried her best not to offend him. After all, her mother had already passed away. She was basically under someone else¡¯s roof now. No matter how unconvinced she was, she at least knew how to restrain herself on the surface. ¡°What kind of answer do you want?¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly. ¡°I want to hear the truth. You were shot a month ago. It¡¯s obvious that you¡¯ve just recovered from your injury. A gunshot wound is not an ordinary injury. I should know who my mother handed me to¡­¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she placed her hands in front of her and twisted them together.¡±And I saw your men pointing guns at me last time¡­¡± ¡°Last time? Since you were suspicious, why didn¡¯t you call the police after you got out of the car?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± I didn¡¯t know if you were a good person or a bad person at that time. Besides threatening me, your men didn¡¯t do anything to me. They even kindly sent me to the bus station so that I could take a ride back instead of leaving me in the wilderness. I felt that you guys didn¡¯t seem like bad people, so I didn¡¯t think of calling the police at that time.¡± ¡°What kind of person I am is what you see in front of you. As for more, there¡¯s no need to tell you.¡±Xu Chengfeng said,¡± Since you¡¯re my niece, at least I won¡¯t hurt you. I¡¯ll even protect you. The premise is that you have to be obedient and not cause trouble for me everywhere.¡±¡± Was this considered a counterattack? She hadn¡¯t even gotten anything out of him yet, and he was already restricting her. Chapter 926 - Chapter 926: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, Dear Uncle (11) Chapter 926: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, Dear Uncle (11) ¡°Who knows if it¡¯s safe for me to follow you?¡±Zuo Yue could not help but mutter. ¡°That depends on whether you listen or not.¡±Xu Chengfeng smiled casually. ¡°What do you mean? If I don¡¯t listen to you, what can you do to me?¡±Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯m related to the underworld? Perhaps one day, when she¡¯s unhappy, she might really sell you off.¡±The man¡¯s voice carried a hint of sarcasm. Zuo Yue glared at him.¡± You actually eavesdropped on my conversation with my mother last night!¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng laughed coldly, but his smile did not reach his eyes.¡±Your apartment is only so big. There¡¯s only one bedroom door between us. Do you think I want to hear it?¡± Zuo Yue choked on her words. Her stomach was growling as she protested to Xu Chengfeng. She was protesting against him starving her on the first day he took care of her! Xu Chengfeng had obviously heard the awkward growling of her stomach. He looked at her thoughtfully for a while, then glanced at her growling stomach.¡±You didn¡¯t eat before coming?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ve been idling outside before. I was so focused on how to make my mother take back her order that I even forgot to eat. I walked around and came here. When I saw the logo of the GN Group, I wanted to come in and try my luck. I didn¡¯t expect you to really be here. You¡¯ll know what happened after that.¡±Zuo Yue said unhappily. ¡°You still know how to be honest with yourself. It seems that you¡¯re not that stubborn.¡±Xu Chengfeng glanced at her again and casually picked up his suit jacket from the back of his desk and placed it in his arm.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll bring you to eat.¡± Zuo Yue stared at him with a surprised expression.¡±¡± Why would you be so kind?!¡± Xu Chengfeng had already walked over and stopped in front of her. He turned and glanced at her indifferently.¡±You¡¯re my niece after all. On account of our blood relationship, I won¡¯t poison you.¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes. He¡¯s only nine years older than me! You¡¯re two years younger than my brother! How could you have the nerve to let others call you uncle?¡± Xu Chengfeng sneered and glanced at her.¡±¡±Then you have to go back and ask your dear grandfather how old and indecent he was back then. At such an old age, he still let his seed flow outside and accidentally gave birth to a son.¡± Zuo Yue instantly stared at him in surprise. Xu Chengfeng walked right in front of her. Seeing that he really wanted to go out and bring her to eat, she took a deep breath and raised her hand to touch her stomach. In the end, she temporarily surrendered to her appetite. She would settle the score with him after she had eaten her fill! ***** Xu Chengfeng did not park his car in the technology company¡¯s underground garage. Instead, he parked it opposite the company. Seeing that he was walking in front and did not turn back to look at her, she walked straight to open the car door. Before she got into the car, she paused for a moment and glanced at Zuo Yue who was jogging all the way. He was tall and had long legs. He estimated that he was about 1870 cm. Zuo Yue was the petite type, only 163 cm. She could only jog all the way when she followed him out. In the end, she leaned against his car and looked at him with a face full of panting and resentment.¡±You¡¯re so insincere when you treat someone to a meal. You left so quickly. Can¡¯t you wait for me?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her face, which was slightly red from running after her, but he sat in the car without any pity, not intending to care about her at all. Zuo Yue glared at the man in the car and angrily pulled open the door to get in. After getting in the car, she realized that his car was the latest model of the world¡¯s limited edition Porsche. She had noticed that the entire car was dark gray when she was outside. From the exterior and interior of the car, plus the color of the car, it did suit him very well. However, this car was different from the black Cayenne she was forced into that day. Although they were both luxury cars, the owner of the previous car was obviously not him. However, the two cars had one thing in common. The windows looked different from ordinary windows. The color of the protective film was much darker than the normal protective film. Because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s injury that day, she guessed that this might be the legendary bulletproof glass. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± The man¡¯s cold voice pulled her back to reality. Zuo Yue glanced at him. It was obvious from your attitude just now that you didn¡¯t want to take me out for dinner.¡± ¡°You have some self-awareness.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her without hesitation.¡±¡±Do you want to eat? If you don¡¯t want to eat, get out of the car.¡± Zuo Yue gritted her teeth. A wise man doesn¡¯t know when to lose! She rolled her eyes at him and pointed ahead.¡± There¡¯s an Italian restaurant near the corner of the business street that has been open for many years. It¡¯s said to be the most authentic spaghetti in Boston. I haven¡¯t had the chance to eat there yet. I¡¯ll treat you to that spaghetti restaurant-¡± Before she could finish her last word, the dark gray Porsche had already sped away. The speed gave her a fright. Although it was not far away, she quickly fastened her seatbelt and turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who still had a cold expression on his face as he drove.¡±If you don¡¯t like to eat spaghetti, then we can go eat something else. There are Japanese dishes, Chinese restaurants, and Russian-style dishes over there¡­¡± ¡°I can go anywhere I want.¡± ¡°Does that mean you¡¯re not picky? My dear uncle? Although Zuo Yue¡¯s last form of address was particularly awkward, it was deliberately too intimate and exaggerated. Obviously, that sweet voice made Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression freeze slightly. However, it was obvious that he did not really indulge her because she was his niece. What he said before was just a verbal comfort. ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. I¡¯ll bring you to eat. You can choose whatever you want.¡± Zuo Yue did not expect him to explain to her again. After a moment of silence, she did not say anything else. ¡°If I say that I want to go to the children¡¯s restaurant in front to eat the children¡¯s set meal, will you accompany me? Although many children eat the set meal at the children¡¯s restaurant, it¡¯s really delicious. It¡¯s the same for adults¡­¡± ¡°No.¡± She rejected him completely. Zuo Yue quietly let out a ¡®tsk¡¯ sound,¡±¡± You even told me to make my own choice. I can tell that you¡¯re the type who hates children. My mother handed such a cute young girl like me to you. I really don¡¯t know if I¡¯m her biological daughter or not. She¡¯s simply trying to abuse me on purpose¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng scoffed.¡± If you don¡¯t want to follow me, go find your mother now. She shouldn¡¯t have boarded the plane by now. There¡¯s still time.¡±¡± Zuo Yue pouted and looked out the window.¡±¡±Forget it. Grandpa is already hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage. I won¡¯t trouble her. At most, I¡¯ll just tolerate you for a while.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not argue with her. He only sneered and did not comment. He did not intend to play word games with a little girl. Chapter 927 - Chapter 927: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Moving Together (12) Chapter 927: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Moving Together (12) That night, Zuo Yue¡¯s luggage was moved out of her small apartment by Xu Chengfeng and sent to his villa near her school. Zuo Yue did not expect that the villa her mother mentioned was really so close to B City Medical University. It was less than ten minutes away by walking. Boston Medical University was located in the center of the city, and his villa was a three-story single-family villa. The price would definitely not be cheap. ¡°Hu¡­¡± After Zuo Yue moved the small suitcase in her hand into the room, she collapsed on the sofa in the living room on the first floor and refused to get up. She panted heavily as she said,¡± I¡¯m exhausted. When I can manage my own property after graduation and have the freedom to do so, I must buy my own house in every city in the world. I also have to prepare a few sets of clothes and daily necessities in each house. That way, I don¡¯t have to carry so much luggage wherever I go¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng then entered the room with her other two large suitcases in his hands. He pushed them to the sofa after he brought them in. He planned to let her tidy them up herself later and did not plan to care about them anymore. Zuo Yue panted as she turned to look at him. She saw Xu Chengfeng glancing at the small suitcase beside her feet with a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was criticizing her pampering. ¡°What are you looking at? Do you think my suitcase is very light?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly stood up and opened the small suitcase.¡±¡±Look, those two big boxes only have clothes, daily necessities, and a laptop. My small box is full of books! Do you think so many books are heavy?¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t even look at the books in her suitcase. He went to the bedroom and the study to turn on the lights. After looking at the environment inside, he said calmly,¡±¡±I¡¯ve only stayed here a few times, so I have all the necessities. If you want to change them, you can change them at any time. However, you¡¯re not allowed to touch my things or throw them around.¡± ¡°I know¡­¡± Zuo Yue grumbled unhappily in her heart. Where did all these rules come from? ¡°Because I¡¯ve already promised to your mother, I¡¯ll have more chances to come back and live here in the future. However, I¡¯ll still be on business trips and can¡¯t come back to take care of you every day. If you can cook, then do it. If you can¡¯t, then order takeout.¡± ¡°I know¡­¡± Zuo Yue was just about to reply with a face of understanding when Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and looked at her.¡±¡±Give me your phone.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned and puzzled, but she still took out her phone and walked over to pass it to him. Xu Chengfeng took the phone and saw the password on it. He glanced at her indifferently. Zuo Yue immediately smiled and said,¡±¡±The password is 1010.¡± After Xu Chengfeng turned on his phone, he typed something on it and said casually,¡±¡± Your birthday is on the tenth of next month?¡± Zuo Yue was in a daze for a moment before she remembered that it was already the beginning of September. She nodded.¡±Yes, October 10th. Uncle, you¡¯re so smart!¡± Anyway, she had already moved over to be in the middle. No matter how dissatisfied she was, it was better for her to occasionally say something flattering to protect herself. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude did not change at all because of her silly flattery. He casually handed the phone back to her. When Zuo Yue took it and looked at him with a puzzled face, he looked at her calmly and said softly,¡±¡±My private number is already saved inside. If there¡¯s an emergency, you can call this number at any time. Remember, call me only if there¡¯s an urgent matter. If you can solve the useless things on your own, don¡¯t come to my place to make your presence known, understand?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue took a deep breath and resisted the urge to scratch him. She grinned brightly.¡±¡±I know, I know, I know! I¡¯ll try my best to be self-reliant and not trouble you, uncle! My mother is really too insensible. She left me, this big trouble, to you, hehehehe. When I go back for the holidays, I¡¯ll definitely talk to her. Maybe one day, she¡¯ll take back her order and let the two of us be free, hehehehe¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s smile was too stiff and unpleasant to hear. Xu Chengfeng looked at the direction of the stairs again.¡±You can stay in any room you want on the first or second floor. You¡¯re not allowed to go to the third floor.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t we go to the third floor?¡± Zuo Yue asked instinctively. She almost bit off her tongue after asking. She looked at the man¡¯s cold gaze and remembered that the identity of this so-called uncle in front of her was not as simple as he looked on the surface. Perhaps there was some secret behind him, or there was some territory on the third floor that outsiders were not allowed to invade¡­ ¡°I understand.¡± Knowing that he wouldn¡¯t answer, she decided to stop talking, but she deliberately said,¡±Then can I stay in the master bedroom?¡± ¡°The size of each room is the same. Whichever room you want is the master bedroom. Choose it yourself. Do you still need to ask me for such a small matter?¡± Zuo Yue choked again. She took a deep breath and continued to smile.¡±Alright, I got it!¡± ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright now.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head. She felt that it was better for her to explore the small matters herself. She would be choked to death by him if she asked him too much. It was better for her to ask less. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be leaving first. I¡¯ll go to the suburbs for an inspection tomorrow, and then I¡¯ll go to Washington for a business trip. The keys to the villa are under the coffee table. You can enter the fingerprint lock at the door yourself.¡± Zuo Yue nodded again. Seeing that she was still in a daze, but she was pretending to have understood everything, Xu Chengfeng did not say anything more. He opened the door and walked out. Two minutes later, Zuo Yue quickly walked to the window and looked out. After confirming that Xu Chengfeng had really left and that the car was gone, she let out a long sigh and snorted disdainfully. She turned around and began to pack her luggage while sizing up the villa. Speaking of which, when she first came to Boston, her mother probably didn¡¯t plan to let her stay in that small apartment for too long. After all, although that small apartment was exquisite and had complete security facilities, it was really too small. Even if it was two rooms and one living room, if there was one more person, it would instantly become very crowded. Now that she had changed to this place, she had to admit that if Xu Chengfeng never came back to live, it would be great if she was the only one living in such a big villa! Two hours later, the luggage had almost been brought to the bedroom. Zuo Yue was about to rest for a while when she remembered what Xu Yuan had said to Xu Chengfeng today. She calculated the time and estimated that her mother should have arrived in Los Angeles by now and should have gotten off the plane. She picked up her phone and called her mother to express her condolences. Chapter 928 - Chapter 928: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Who’s Afraid of Who (13) Chapter 928: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Who¡¯s Afraid of Who (13) Besides, she was actually very concerned about her grandfather. Although she was not particularly close to her grandfather and did not visit the Xu family often, he was still her grandfather. Moreover, her name had the word ¡± Yue ¡± in it because her birthday was on the 10th of October. The 10th of October of the year she was born happened to be the full moon night of the 15th of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, so her grandfather took the initiative to name her Zuo Yue. At that time, her grandfather did not agree to let her call her by this name. He even said that the name her grandfather gave her was so tacky that he would not agree to it no matter what. In the end, the two old men still had the same opinion. Because the word ¡®month¡¯ on the fifteenth day of August meant that the elderly hoped that her life would be full. That was why she was called Left Moon. ***** Two days later- What?!!! Were the two cards in her hands really frozen? Zuo Yue walked out of the bank near the school with a muddle-headed face. She looked at the two gold cards in her hands that usually had a fixed amount of living expenses. Her face was full of question marks. Didn¡¯t her mother say that she would freeze if she didn¡¯t listen to her? She was already so obedient, yet he still froze her card? Was he really going to make her obediently follow Xu Chengfeng and be completely restricted by that man? If she really wanted money from Xu Chengfeng¡­ Just thinking about that scene sent shivers down his spine. Zuo Yue reached into her wallet and felt for the few remaining banknotes. According to her daily expenses, this money was enough for a week at most. If she saved a little more, if she ate instant noodles every day and did not buy anything randomly, she could probably spend more than half a month. Oh my god, although she had been restricted from spending money recklessly since she was young, at least she had a good life and didn¡¯t need to spend anything special. Now that her card was suddenly frozen and she was in a foreign land, was her mother forcing her to become a beggar? Zuo Yue sat on the marble steps opposite the bank with a sad expression. She held her chin with one hand and looked at the pedestrians coming and going. She was deeply conflicted. Was he really going to ask Xu Chengfeng for pocket money? Or should he learn from his classmates and find a small shop near the school to do odd jobs? Anyway, she didn¡¯t need to pay for the tuition fees herself. It was fine if she just wanted to earn some pocket money¡­ Moreover, Xu Chengfeng had already told her not to bother him with small matters. Her pocket money was a big deal to her. To him, he would probably just throw her a cold back view. Do you want money or face? It was so difficult! Zuo Yue returned to school with a defeated expression. She had originally planned to invite her new classmates and friends to the PUB for a drink after tomorrow¡¯s night break. She was worried that her card might be frozen and embarrass herself, so she specially went to the bank to check. In the end, it was really frozen! An hour later. ¡°Zuo Yue, can we postpone the gathering after our night off tomorrow for a few days?¡±Zuo Yue, who had just returned to school, was about to go to the library with her close friends when Julie, who was the closest to her, suddenly whispered into her ear. Zuo Yue had already planned to use the remaining cash in her pocket to treat them. When she suddenly heard this, she couldn¡¯t help but ask,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? I already said that I would treat you to some sweet wine, although my card is a little¡­¡± Before she could tell her the truth about the frozen card, Julie said with a smile,¡± I¡¯m really embarrassed to suddenly ask to cancel the gathering, but before I came to Boston, my parents had already set a rule with me. Since I¡¯m already 18 years old, my parents told me to learn to be self-reliant from now on. Last week, they stopped giving me living expenses, so Vina and I went out to look for a job a few days ago. Tomorrow night is the first day of work, so we can¡¯t be late.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. I remember that your family¡¯s financial situation is pretty good.¡± Julie smiled.¡± Many families in America have this kind of education model. We were only stopped from living expenses when we were eighteen. We were already very doted on by our parents.¡± ¡°Is the salary high?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly asked, her eyes shining. Julie was stunned for a moment. Zuo Yue immediately nodded repeatedly with an aggrieved expression as if she was in the same boat. ¡°Haha! Then you should come with us to work! We¡¯ll put on cartoon costumes in the center of the most crowded commercial streets in Boston, and then take the main food in the restaurant and invite adults and children to try it. Our working hours are from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm every day. Our salary is 50 dollars per day. Do you want to go with us?¡± ¡°Wow, just going to the shopping street for two hours every day and you get fifty dollars!¡±Zuo Yue was surprised. Could it be a liar?¡± ¡°That new restaurant is opened by one of Vina¡¯s relatives. Because Vina dragged us along to help out, she wasn¡¯t stingy on account of us being her classmates. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just wearing cartoon clothes and standing on the business street.¡±¡±If you want to go, come with us tomorrow!¡± Julie said happily.¡± Zuo Yue immediately nodded.¡± .. That night, Zuo Yue returned to the villa near the medical university. After entering the door, she glanced at the empty living room. She looked around again and confirmed that Xu Chengfeng had really not returned for the past three days since he sent her here that day. He should be in Washington right now? Previously, he felt that it was quite comfortable to suddenly change to a big house. However, after living alone in such a big place for a few days, he was so lonely that he wanted to call his good friends over and party until midnight every day. ¡± Crazy, arrogant, black-bellied man. Instead of pretending to be a businessman in Russia, he came to the United States to acquire some technology company. He caused me to be inexplicably thrown in Boston and entrusted to someone to take care of me. My card was frozen¡­¡± Zuo Yue grumbled as she lay on the bed in the bedroom. She raised her phone and glanced at it. After scrolling through it for a while, she saw the private number that Xu Chengfeng had left on her phone that day. You can only look for him when it¡¯s urgent. She was already so old. What urgent matter could she have? Was a matter of life and death considered an emergency? Was it considered an emergency that she was about to starve to death without her living expenses? She didn¡¯t even want to ask him for such a thing. What urgent matter could she have to look for him for? It was clear that he did not want to care about anything else other than this villa! Zuo Yue pursed her lips and was about to delete his phone number. Just as she was about to press the delete button, her fingers paused again. She endured it and finally threw her phone aside. She buried her head into the pillow and raised her hand to press on her head. She was so angry that she kicked her legs back and forth. If you go out to work, so be it. Who¡¯s afraid of who! Chapter 929 - Chapter 929: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Discovered (14) Chapter 929: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Discovered (14) ¡°Hu¡­¡± ¡°Phew-¡± No wonder he could get fifty dollars for standing for two hours! This was simply not a weight and heat that ordinary people could endure! The weather in Boston in September was still 27 degrees Celsius. It was still very stuffy in the evening. Zuo Yue, Julie, and Vina were all wearing big and heavy cartoon costumes. However, these cartoon costumes were very thick and heavy. There were only two small holes in front of their noses and eyes that could be seen outside. They could only breathe and see outside through these two holes. It was so hot! Julie was wearing a big Bikachu and holding a plate of various small foods for others to try. Vina was wearing Doraemon and doing the same. On the other hand, Zuo Yue was wearing a big-headed Alalei, which pressed down on her waist so much that she could not straighten her back. However, for the sake of the fifty dollars that she could earn in these two hours, she endured it! ¡± Hi, beautiful lady. Come and try the crispy fried prawns from our cartoon restaurant.¡± ¡°Hello, little friend. Do you want to come and eat this little donut? It¡¯s very delicious. This is the dessert that our cartoon restaurant is promoting ~¡± ¡°Hello, sir. This is our latest product¡­¡± At the center of the commercial street, a few large and comical cartoon characters were promoting the food in their hands everywhere. Many people with children were buying it, and the restaurant seemed to be almost full. It was almost half-past six. Zuo Yue was almost paralyzed from exhaustion due to her lack of breathing. After taking a few deep breaths, she continued to perk up. She went back to the restaurant to get some newly made food and turned around to walk to the center of the business street. The big, pink, and cute Ala Lei shuttled back and forth among the people. It didn¡¯t take long for her to be surrounded by a few little girls. ¡°Mommy, I want to eat donuts!¡± The little girls spoke in different languages, but they all had the same goal. After getting their mother¡¯s permission, they all rushed towards Alalei and took the small donut from Alalei. Then, they turned around and asked their mother if they could go to the restaurant to eat more donut. Seeing the customers walking towards the restaurant, Zuo Yue panted heavily in the cartoon characters while turning around to continue working. ¡°Hello, sir ~¡± ¡°This lady, would you like to try our¡­¡± .. ¡°What time is it?¡± The huge Aralei walked behind Bikachu to ask for the time. Julie, who was hiding in Bikachu, replied,¡±¡±I just went back to the restaurant and saw that it was 6:25 pm. I can get off work soon!¡± There were only five minutes left! Zuo Yue instantly raised all her spirits and turned around to continue shuttling through the crowd. ¡± Little kid, I¡¯ll give you a donut. It¡¯s free. If you like it, you can buy some inside. It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t like it!¡± Zuo Yue was smiling as she shook the donut in her hand at a cute little girl in front of her. The little girl also smiled and was about to reach out to take it. Suddenly, something happened in the crowd. This was supposed to be a pedestrian street, but a car rushed in from the front. The people around them screamed and dodged in all directions. The little girl and her mother were also instantly scattered by the crowd. ¡°Ah!¡± Screams rang in her ears. Zuo Yue looked down and saw that the little girl was about to fall. In this situation, if she fell to the ground, she would be trampled to death or injured. She quickly reached out and protected the little girl in her arms. She took advantage of the thick protective layer on her body and wanted to take the little girl to hide in a place with fewer people. However, although the clothes on her body could play a protective role, it was a little clumsy to walk in the crowd. She had just carried the little girl and walked a few steps to the side when she was suddenly bumped into by the crowd that was quickly hiding behind her. Zuo Yue staggered and fell to the side. ¡°Ah¡­ Mommy!¡± The little girl cried in fear in her arms. Zuo Yue could only protect the little girl in her arms and try her best to avoid the feet walking back and forth in the crowd. At the same time, she tried her best to raise her legs and arms to avoid being crushed. However, there were still some people who came and went and fell on her body. One by one, they pressed down on her. Zuo Yue only felt a pain in her chest from being pressed down. She cursed softly and kicked those people away. At the same time, she struggled to stand up. However, she still hissed in pain because her legs and arms had been stepped on twice. The little girl was still crying in Zuo Yue¡¯s arms. Because it was only a car that suddenly rushed in, causing panic and hiding, the crowd gradually dispersed. The little girl¡¯s mother ran over with a worried expression. When she came forward to take the little girl, she thanked and nodded. Zuo Yue did not say much. She only waved goodbye to the little girl who had stopped crying and turned to walk in the direction of the restaurant. ¡°How are you? Are you hurt?¡± Julie and Vera were not in this direction just now. The moment they saw her, the two of them quickly surrounded her. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue was a little listless. I¡¯ll go change my clothes. It¡¯s too hot.¡± As she spoke, she endured the pain in her body and turned around to go to the dining room. Julie and Viena were about to go back with her when they suddenly saw a young man and woman passing by. They saw that the crowd had dispersed, and the car that had rushed in had been detained by the police. They planned to get another business for the restaurant before leaving. Julie walked up to the young couple and raised the plate in her hand.¡±Sir, Miss, would you like to try the beef in our restaurant¡­¡± Before he could finish, Vina turned around and chased after him. She shouted as she walked,¡±Zuo Yue! Are you really not injured?¡± The young man and woman who were walking in front of Julie were originally ignoring the salesman in cartoon clothes beside them. However, when they heard the shout behind them, the man beside the young girl suddenly looked in the right direction. When he saw the deformed Aralei and the dust on her body, the man¡¯s cold gaze did not change. The girl beside him asked curiously,¡±Chengfeng, what¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you never like children, so you stayed away from this cartoon-style restaurant?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only glanced at the cartoon figure in front of him. After a moment of silence, he quietly withdrew his arm from the girl beside him. He turned around and walked in the direction of Aralei, who had been stepped on. ¡°Chengfeng¡­¡± The young girl was stunned on the spot. The moment she turned around, she was surprised to see Xu Chengfeng pressing down on the dirty Alalei¡¯s head. Zuo Yue also felt a sudden weight on her head in an instant. She wanted to continue walking forward but she could not move. However, she could not turn around smoothly. She just turned around in circles on the spot. Finally, she managed to turn her huge body around. Chapter 930 - Chapter 930: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-It’s My Uncle (15) Chapter 930: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-It¡¯s My Uncle (15) The moment she saw Xu Chengfeng, Zuo Yue¡¯s body was still hidden in the huge Alarei. She could see the man with a calm expression and a hint of displeasure through the two small holes in front of her. Shocked, she raised her hand and tried to struggle away from his hand. However, he pressed down on her head, and she couldn¡¯t move even after turning her feet back and forth on the spot. In the end, she could only submit to him and stare at him through the two small holes.¡±Let go!¡± ¡°What are you doing here?¡± When Xu Chengfeng heard her voice, he narrowed his eyes coldly. At the same time, he glanced at Doraemon and Bikachu, who were walking over because they found it strange.¡±Don¡¯t tell me this is your school¡¯s roadshow? I don¡¯t remember the medical university assigning such missions to students.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She raised her hand and was about to push him away.¡±Aiya, let go of me first¡­¡± The people not far away saw such a strange scene. The tall and handsome man only used one hand to control the huge Aralei in front of him. The big Aralei struggled with all her might and could not move. ¡°S-Sir! Is there anything you¡¯re not satisfied with?¡±The boss, who had just come out of the restaurant, saw this scene and thought that something had happened to the girls who had just started their first day of work. He hurriedly walked over. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold and sharp black eyes swept across the restaurant owner. At the same time, Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed the big head on top of her head up. When she revealed her face, she glared angrily at Xu Chengfeng, who had appeared here for some reason. Then, she turned to look at the restaurant owner.¡±Boss! He¡¯s my uncle. Don¡¯t misunderstand!¡± When the restaurant owner heard this, he realized that they were relatives! However, her eyes were still filled with surprise. She did not expect that she would have such a young-looking uncle at her age. After giving the boss some instructions, Zuo Yue glared at Xu Chengfeng with dissatisfaction.¡±¡±Still not letting go? Are you trying to crush me to death?¡± It was obvious that he had seen through the normal employment relationship between Zuo Yue and the restaurant owner. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was still cold, but he let go of his hand at the same time. Zuo Yue immediately passed her head to the restaurant owner beside her and let out a long sigh.¡±¡±It¡¯s so hot!¡± The boss didn¡¯t know what was going on, but the uncle in front of him looked extraordinary and definitely had a powerful background. He touched the big head in his arms and turned around to leave. ¡°Change your clothes and follow my brother.¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t wait for Zuo Yue to catch her breath. He looked at her pink and bloated coat with disdain. The hair on both sides of Zuo Yue¡¯s face were already wet with sweat and stuck to her face. Her face was also a little red because she was out of breath just now. When she heard him ordering her, she immediately glanced at him unhappily.¡±Where are we going? I haven¡¯t received my salary yet!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes turned cold.¡± I never say my words twice. Go and change out of your clothes immediately!¡±¡± Zuo Yue was about to retort when suddenly, a very pretty young girl walked over from the front. Her proud figure stopped beside Xu Chengfeng and asked in a soft and intimate voice,¡±¡±Ken, who is she?¡± However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to hear the girl¡¯s voice beside him. His gaze was still on Zuo Yue¡¯s face. When he saw her red and sweaty face, his gaze turned even colder. Zuo Yue suddenly grinned and raised her hand to greet the beautiful girl beside him.¡±¡±Hey, are you my uncle¡¯s girlfriend?¡± When the girl heard Zuo Yue¡¯s words, she looked at Zuo Yue in surprise. However, before she could say anything, Xu Chengfeng said coldly,¡±¡±Chries, go back first. I need to deal with some family matters.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Chries was surprised to hear Xu Chengfeng say that he had to deal with some family matters. However, she had just witnessed something even more shocking. How could someone like Xu Chengfeng bully a huge doll on the street! ¡°OK.¡±In the end, the girl did not say anything else under Xu Chengfeng¡¯s slightly cold attitude. Seeing that the girl had left without hesitation, without any intention of being reluctant to part with her boyfriend, Zuo Yue was even more curious about the relationship between the beauty and Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng looked at her eyes, which were burning with the fire of gossip, indifferently.¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you changing?¡± Zuo Yue snapped back to her senses and rolled her eyes at him with a face full of resentment. She turned around and ran back to the dining room in her bloated clothes. She spent ten minutes explaining to the boss why her clothes were so dirty that they were deformed. She also explained the reason for Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude. In the end, she finally received her salary of fifty dollars. She heaved a sigh of relief and walked out in the student dress she wore before she came. ¡°Zuo Yue, was that really your uncle? Aren¡¯t you going back with us?¡±Vera and Julie asked with concern as they walked out with her. ¡°It¡¯s indeed my uncle. You guys go back first. I won¡¯t be going to the evening class tonight. Help me ask the professor for leave.¡±Zuo Yue was physically and mentally exhausted now, and the evening class was not particularly important. ¡°Alright then.¡± Zuo Yue only returned to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s side after Julie and Weina had left. She saw that he was still standing at the same spot as before. However, a few buttons of his neatly arranged shirt were slightly unbuttoned. The serious and cold feeling of abstinence from before instantly became a little unruly. Zuo Yue glanced at the shirt and trousers on his body again and walked to his side. It was only when Xu Chengfeng looked over that she suddenly stood up straight and glared at him. She had an attitude that said, if you dare to lecture me here, I will dare to fall out with you. Seeing that she was wearing the same school dress again, Xu Chengfeng faintly frowned. Zuo Yue, the beloved daughter of the Zuo family, was not like the socialites from other aristocratic families who wanted to change a few sets of clothes every day. When he helped her move a few days ago, he knew that she had a lot of clothes in her suitcase, but she actually wore a school dress every day. Was she afraid that others would not know that she was still a student? ¡°Why? If you want to ask something, just ask directly. Why are you looking at me like that?¡±Zuo Yuehui stared at him with his cold eyes without fear. ¡°You didn¡¯t tell me you were short of money? Did you come out to work to prove that you don¡¯t need my financial support or to pretend to be pitiful?¡± Zuo Yue was instantly angered by his cold words. ¡°If I wanted to pretend to be pitiful, would I have to work so hard?¡±¡±Because you¡¯re in Boston, and because you promised to take care of me, my mother has frozen my card!¡± she said angrily. Didn¡¯t you say not to look for you for small matters? I just don¡¯t want to trouble you!¡± Chapter 931 - Chapter 931: Riding the Wind Asks the Moon-Want a Kiss (16) Chapter 931: Riding the Wind Asks the Moon-Want a Kiss (16) Xu Chengfeng did not show any dissatisfaction because of Zuo Yue¡¯s angry clamor. He only looked at her indifferently.¡±You don¡¯t want to trouble me? Does that mean you plan to support yourself?¡± For some reason, it was just a simple question, but she felt like there was a trap in his words. Zuo Yue shut her mouth and did not say anything else. She just stared at his face, wanting to know what this man wanted to say next. Seeing her shrewd little appearance, Xu Chengfeng turned around and left. He heard Zuo Yue¡¯s footsteps obediently following behind him and said softly,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine if you want to earn your own living. It just so happens that I¡¯ve already removed the cleaning company that I used to clean in the villa near your school. It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for you to clean the room since you¡¯re living there.¡± Zuo Yue heard this and her eyelids twitched. She had a bad feeling.¡±What do you mean?¡± As Xu Chengfeng walked, he casually handed over an unlimited black card to her. Zuo Yue looked at the card in shock and then looked at him. The man¡¯s voice said coldly,¡±¡±I will probably go back a few times a month. If you can guarantee that the villa will be spotless every time I go back, this card will be yours.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s jaw dropped. Although she was shocked by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s generosity, this black card was unlimited worldwide! But did he mean to let her be the housekeeper at home? ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a beggar? Or those money-grubbing women? It¡¯s not like I¡¯ve never seen money before! It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t graduated yet, and my parents are restricting me from spending money!¡±Zuo Yue said as she turned her head away, refusing. Xu Chengfeng looked back at her.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say a word, but she glanced at the card in his hand again. Although it was a little embarrassing to have such a deal with his own uncle, compared to standing on the street breathlessly for two hours in exchange for 50 dollars, cleaning the villa would get him an unlimited global card. This was definitely more profitable! At most, she could just endure it and put down her pride. Anyway, with this card in hand, even if she secretly hired other cleaners to clean the house, he would not find out. As long as she had money, she could hire as many people to clean the house! At the thought of this, she fiercely suppressed the surging self-esteem in her heart and reached out to take the card. However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand slightly. Zuo Yue immediately turned to look at him. Before she could speak, she heard him say with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes,¡±You¡¯re only allowed to clean by yourself. How dare you ask the housekeeping company to send someone to help you clean? This kind of opportunistic method won¡¯t work here.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him in disbelief and then at the card in his hand. Could this man read minds? ¡°I promise that the house will always be clean and won¡¯t make you feel uncomfortable. Isn¡¯t that enough? Why do you care if it was me or someone else who cleaned it? Is there anyone as harsh as you?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to rely on yourself? I¡¯m giving you a chance to earn your own living. If you don¡¯t accept it, pretend I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chengfeng was about to take the card back. ¡°Sigh! Hey!¡± Seeing that he was really going to take it back, Zuo Yue quickly ran in front of him and grabbed his arm without caring about anything. At the same time, she looked like a spoiled child as she grabbed his arm and leaned in front of him. Her eyes were fixed on the card in his hand.¡±I, I accept your conditions!¡± What a joke! With such an unlimited card in front of her, of course she wanted money first! Anyway, she was not the one who took the initiative to beg him for her living expenses. If she really did not want this card under such circumstances, then there was definitely something wrong with her brain! Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who was almost hanging on his body. In order to keep the card in his hand, she was trying her best to climb onto him like an octopus. ¡°Get down.¡± Just as Zuo Yue was really hanging on him like a pendant, Xu Chengfeng suddenly scolded her with an ugly expression. Zuo Yue glared at him.¡± ¡°Are you sure you can clean up the villa?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure!¡± Zuo Yue nodded. ¡°But why did I hear from your mother that you haven¡¯t learned how to tidy your room since you were born? You haven¡¯t even folded your clothes?¡± ¡°Can you believe my mother? My mother froze my card. She¡¯s so cruel. She obviously doesn¡¯t want me to live well. Can you believe her words?¡±Zuo Yue shouted at him. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her coldly.¡± If you screw up, you should know the consequences.¡±¡± ¡°I know, I know! I promise I can clean it up!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hands were already tightly hugging his waist. She said coquettishly,¡±¡±I promise! Really!¡± The two of them were unaware of this strange posture. However, a little girl who passed by was eating ice cream while laughing and shouting in Chinese,¡±Mommy! Was this uncle and auntie going to do something shameful? Did they KISS?¡± The words ¡± shy ¡± and ¡± KISS ¡± instantly made Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body stiffen. Zuo Yue quickly returned to the ground from his body. When her feet landed on the ground, she quickly took two steps to the side to maintain a suitable distance from him. At the same time, she continued to extend her hand and gave him a look.¡±Hurry up and give me the card!¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her indifferently and handed the card to her. Zuo Yue took the card and smiled at the same time. She put the black card that was extremely noble in her eyes and kissed it. Then, she grinned at Xu Chengfeng.¡±Thanks, Uncle!¡± ***** That night, Zuo Yue sat in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s car and returned to the villa near the school. As this was a relatively rare private villa area in Boston, it did not have a general name. However, there was an iconic large supermarket near the school opposite. It was a supermarket invested by Chinese people and was called Runyuan Supermarket. Therefore, Zuo Yue had called this villa Runyuan Villa for the past few days. When she came back, she felt depressed as she sat in the car. She thought that after getting a card, she would be able to live freely for a few days. She did not expect Xu Chengfeng to plan to go back to the villa today. He really didn¡¯t give her any good days! When she returned to the villa, Zuo Yue hurriedly poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. Xu Chengfeng, who had parked his car in the parking lot, walked in and saw the mess on the coffee table and sofa in the living room. Paper towels, fruit plates, snacks, dried fruits, books, magazines, and blankets were all piled up in a mess. Zuo Yue had already finished drinking water and came out. When she saw Xu Chengfeng standing in front of the door with a look of impatience, she immediately followed his line of sight and looked at the things on the coffee table. She was instantly amused. Chapter 932 - Chapter 932: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Can’t Be Greedy (17) Chapter 932: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Can¡¯t Be Greedy (17) ¡°It¡¯s just that there are a lot of things piled up on the coffee table, so it shouldn¡¯t be too messy, right? I¡¯ve just moved in, so I wasn¡¯t used to it at first, but I¡¯ve been very careful not to mess it up.¡± Zuo Yue spoke innocently, but Xu Chengfeng looked around with a cold expression. He saw that only the coffee table and sofa were messy. The other places were just not cleaned every day, and there was a thin layer of dust. Seeing that he didn¡¯t even bother to look in the direction of the coffee table when he walked in, Zuo Yue quickly tidied up the coffee table. In the past, she was used to having servants and her mother take care of her at home. She had never cleaned it. A few days ago, in the apartment, she was even mocked by her mother for sleeping in a pigsty. However, this villa was not her own place after all. She had really restrained herself, but she was still despised. If he was disgusted by this, then how clean must she clean the villa every day to satisfy him? Would he be willing to let her keep the card? Sure enough, Xu Chengfeng, this bastard mysophobia, had already gone to open her bedroom. He saw that she was in a mess inside, and there was a blanket that wasn¡¯t folded at all. In that instant, the veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed violently. He had inexplicably taken over this big trouble, and it could no longer be described with simple words. ¡°I¡¯ll remember to fold the blanket in the future. Besides, this is my bedroom now. Is it really okay for you to open my bedroom door so casually?¡±Zuo Yue stood behind him and deliberately provoked him.¡±¡±What if you see something you shouldn¡¯t see¡­¡± ¡°What shouldn¡¯t be seen?¡± Xu Chengfeng closed the bedroom door and turned around to glance at her.¡±¡±What shouldn¡¯t I look at when you¡¯re a young girl who hasn¡¯t fully developed?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s tone choked at first, then she immediately turned her head and followed behind him, shouting in dissatisfaction. As she chased after him, she said angrily,¡±What do you mean by a girl who hasn¡¯t fully developed? I¡¯m eighteen years old, okay? Even if I didn¡¯t have the big breasts and butt of those western women, I¡¯m already an adult! Why am I not fully developed? Even if I¡¯m not some stunning beauty, I¡¯m still a member of the beauty team. I¡¯m definitely not inferior to the girl beside you today, okay?!¡± Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks and looked back at her strangely.¡±¡±What does it have to do with her? Why did you suddenly mention her?¡± Zuo Yue followed him to the side of the sofa. Xu Chengfeng glanced at the coffee table that she had carelessly tidied up, but it was as if she hadn¡¯t tidied up at all. He then glanced at the sofa. Obviously, he didn¡¯t intend to sit there. He walked around the area around the sofa and coffee table and turned to the other side. Isn¡¯t she your girlfriend?¡± Zuo Yue asked with a gossipy look,¡± You said that you would be going on a business trip in the next two days. In the end, you came back so early. You even went shopping with that girl. If you say that she¡¯s not your girlfriend, I won¡¯t believe it!¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng gave her a cold and indifferent back view. He did not intend to explain. He went to the wine cabinet and opened the glass door, pouring a glass of red wine. Zuo Yue saw the red wine in his hand and followed him.¡±¡±I noticed it two days ago. Your wine cabinet is full of good wine. This Lafite is from 1984. It should taste good, right? I haven¡¯t been drinking for a long time, but I still hold back, I dare not open a bottle to drink, now, since you¡¯re back, I dare you to drink, I don¡¯t have any meaning, I want, I don¡¯t want, I also pour a cup.¡± Xu Chengfeng held the wine glass in his hand and looked at her with a lukewarm expression. He did not answer her, but his action of closing the wine cabinet door was an obvious rejection. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly as she muttered,¡±¡±Stingy.¡± ¡°Your mother asked me to take care of you, but she didn¡¯t say that I should buy you a drink. A student should behave like a student.¡±Xu Chengfeng did not intend to deal with her, but he spoke in a cold, educational tone. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± I grew up in the United States, not China. You don¡¯t have to educate me like how the Chinese educate their children. When I was 14, I drank with my father. My father didn¡¯t say anything, but now you really treat yourself as my elder.¡± The little girl¡¯s tone of complaint and unwillingness was very strong. Xu Chengfeng elegantly swirled the wine glass in his hand. The red wine swirled back and forth in the glass. After a moment, he handed the glass of red wine to her. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze. She glanced at the wine glass in front of her and then looked up at Xu Chengfeng. ¡°It¡¯s good for women to drink red wine occasionally.¡±When she took it, Xu Chengfeng retracted his hand and turned around to enter the bathroom. Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground, holding the glass of wine. She thought about the warmth that flashed in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes when he handed her the glass of red wine. Although it was very faint, he had indeed treated her like a child and spoiled her in that instant. After all, she was still his niece. Even though they were once strangers, he was still giving in to her, wasn¡¯t he? Zuo Yue suddenly smiled and lowered her head to taste the wine. Hehe, it¡¯s delicious! ***** At night. Zuo Yue tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. When she lived alone in this villa, she did not suffer from insomnia. However, tonight was the first time she was in this villa with her youngest uncle at the same time. It was the first time she was under the same roof with a man she was not familiar with but was not unfamiliar with. Although she had noticed that Xu Chengfeng seemed to have gone to the study room before she returned to the bedroom, she could not fall asleep. He must have been busy with something or perhaps he had not rested yet. After rummaging in bed for a long time, Zuo Yue suddenly sat up, planning to go downstairs to the study room to bring a laptop up. Perhaps playing games or something would make the night pass faster! When she walked out of the bedroom, it was quiet as if she was still the only one living here. However, when she walked to the stairs and looked down, she saw that the light in the living room was still on. There seemed to be the sound of the coffee machine at the bottom of the stairs. She could vaguely smell the smell of coffee. Is Uncle brewing coffee? Zuo Zuo Yue walked down curiously. From the corner of the marble staircase from the second floor to the first floor, she looked down and saw that Xu Chengfeng was indeed standing next to the coffee machine. ¡°It¡¯s already so late, and you¡¯re still making coffee. Are you planning to stay up all night in the study to work until dawn?¡±She walked down as she spoke. When she was about five or six steps away from the ground, Xu Chengfeng turned around to look at her when he heard her voice. In the end, the moment he turned around, his firm chest was revealed in front of the bathrobe. It instantly reminded Zuo Yue of the scene she had accidentally bumped into in the bathroom. An emotion flashed in her mind, and her feet slipped inexplicably at the same time. Suddenly, her entire body fell down. ¡°Ah!¡± Chapter 933 - Chapter 933: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-A Shocking Kiss (18) Chapter 933: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-A Shocking Kiss (18) ¡°Ah!¡± Xu Chengfeng put down the coffee cup in his hand, and at the same time, he nimbly flashed past to catch her. In the end, Zuo Yue¡¯s pajamas were hooked on the armrest at the side. Then, due to the pulling force of the fall, it suddenly broke apart. Her body lost its weight and directly threw Xu Chengfeng, who was originally very stable, onto the carpet under the stairs. Fortunately, her head was still aimed at his face and smashed down mercilessly! In the end, when her lips and teeth collided with his lips, Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes widened in shock. The sudden softness between her lips made Zuo Yue suspect that she was dreaming! What happened? What was she doing with her uncle?! All the fear and shock made her unable to come back to her senses for a long time. However, Xu Chengfeng was only stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands and lifted her up from his body. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were still a little dull, and she could only see the blood on his lips. When she sat down on the marble steps at the side, Xu Chengfeng also stood up with a frown and raised his hand to wipe the blood on his lips. When he saw the wrinkles between his handsome eyebrows, Zuo Yue¡¯s brain, which had been in a daze for a long time, gradually came back to its senses. ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± As she spoke, she raised her hand and wiped her mouth. There was some blood on her mouth, but it was gone after she wiped it clean, so the blood was not hers. It was because she had fallen so hard that her teeth had broken his lips. Xu Chengfeng only glanced at the blood on his finger, then glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±What were you panicking about just now?¡± ¡°What? You mean just now?¡± Zuo Yue was still in a daze. She saw that his expression was unfriendly, but he did not seem to have any intention of mentioning it because of the inexplicable kiss just now. While she heaved a sigh of relief, all sorts of strange emotions welled up in her heart. She felt extremely awkward, but she had no choice but to explain it clearly at the ¡± scene of the accident.¡± ¡°When I was walking downstairs, I was fine. Why did you suddenly panic?¡±Xu Chengfeng repeated the words with rare patience, but he frowned. In the end, he was still not patient enough with her. ¡°I¡­¡± Zuo Yue glanced at the bathrobe he was wearing again. Perhaps it was because he did not expect her to come downstairs so late at night, so the belt of his bathrobe was loosely tied. Just now, half of his chest was exposed. Now, because of the pulling between the two of them, his chest was even more exposed. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze had just swept into his bathrobe when Xu Chengfeng instantly realized something. However, he looked at her without batting an eyelid. He slowly turned around, his back facing her, and slowly tidied the front of his bathrobe. ¡°That¡­ Uncle, your mouth¡­Are you alright?¡± Although Zuo Yue was a little embarrassed, she still thought of the shocking bloodstain on his lips just now. She could not help but stare at his tall and straight back and ask. However, after asking that question, her face turned hot, and she inexplicably recalled the scene where she accidentally pushed him to the ground just now¡­ The more she thought about it, the hotter her face became. She carefully took two steps back up the stairs behind her. Xu Chengfeng looked back at her again. The blood on his lips was gone, but he could clearly see the small wound that he had just suffered. He was originally a man with lighter lips, but now his lips were slightly red because of the injury. He looked like a man who was originally handsome and cold. He looked a little flirtatious, like a man who could bring disaster to the country! ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed to be planning to turn the page on what had just happened and did not intend to bring it up again. He also did not ask her why she had suddenly panicked when she went downstairs. From the way he turned around and adjusted his bathrobe, she could tell that he already knew, so there was no need to ask anymore. ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue stood still on the stairs because he said he was fine. She just stared at his back stiffly. Xu Chengfeng only turned his head to look at her and did not turn around. He seemed to be planning to go straight to the bedroom on the first floor. However, he had just taken a few steps when he saw that it was strangely quiet behind him. Zuo Yue, who had suddenly gone downstairs, did not come down to look for something, nor did she go upstairs. Instead, she stood rooted to the ground without moving or making a sound. Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks impatiently and turned around to look at her again. He saw the little girl standing there with a red face and red eyes, but she was biting her lips and not saying a word. Xu Chengfeng immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at the little girl who usually dared to shout in front of him. Now, she was blushing. After looking at her up and down for a while, he looked at the carpet in front of the stairs. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sleep? There are already enough ornaments and sculptures in every corner of this house. We don¡¯t lack one. What are you still standing there for?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned even redder because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words. She nodded stiffly, but her mind was still filled with the scene from earlier. She was in a mess and could not find her bearings. She turned around and was about to go upstairs, but she stumbled and almost fell down the stairs again. Fortunately, she reacted quickly this time and instinctively grabbed the handrail on the stairs to avoid falling down again. However, she pursed her lips and continued to stand there. Her eyes were in a mess and she did not know where to look. When she looked back at Xu Chengfeng again, she saw that he was looking at her. No, it should be said that he was sizing her up expressionlessly. In the end, she instantly turned her head away with a hot face and gripped the handrail beside the stairs tightly. As if he had finally seen through the little girl¡¯s unnatural actions and emotions, Xu Chengfeng suddenly asked,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, how old are you?¡± ¡°Eighteen¡­Don¡¯t you know?¡± Zuo Yue answered in a low voice. ¡°You¡¯re eighteen years old and grew up in such an open America. You haven¡¯t even had your first kiss yet?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue was instantly stunned and turned around to look at him. However, she saw a hint of disapproval in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes.¡±You¡­¡± ¡°Never had a boyfriend?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked again, but the sneer in his eyes carried a bit of aggressiveness and sarcasm. Zuo Yue glared at him in annoyance.¡± Why do you care if I have a boyfriend or not? Why do you care if I have my first kiss?!¡± Even if you¡¯re my uncle, this is not something you should care for!¡± Xu Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction at her words and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s good that you know that I¡¯m your uncle. It was just an unexpected situation just now. It was just an accidental physical contact. I didn¡¯t take it to heart at all, so just pretend that nothing happened. You should be glad that your face didn¡¯t fall to the ground and be disfigured.¡± Chapter 934 - Chapter 934: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Half of the First Kiss (19) Chapter 934: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Half of the First Kiss (19) Zuo Yue¡¯s expression instantly became a little unsightly.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t take it to heart. I only asked you because I saw that you were injured by me. Don¡¯t do anything more than that¡­¡± Before she could say the word ¡± love ¡°, she suddenly saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze, which meant that she could say what she should say and take back what she should not say. She paused for a moment. She was very clear about their position and relationship. That word was indeed not something she should say in front of him. After all, he was her uncle. Even if he was only nine years older than her, he was still her uncle. They were blood relatives and her elder. However, she still felt very uncomfortable because of the distant expression and disapproval in his eyes. She looked at him with resentment. Xu Chengfeng did not intend to waste any more time with her. He turned around and walked towards the bedroom. At the same time, he said calmly,¡±Go back to your room and sleep well. Don¡¯t think too much. Just now¡­¡± As he slowed down, he raised his hand and let her look at the blood on his finger from afar. It was the blood that he had stained his lips with just now. ¡°It wasn¡¯t even a kiss.¡± The man¡¯s voice was cold and emotionless. Even the hint of indulgence he had when he gave her the red wine was gone. It was as if he was really standing on the status of her elder in an instant, seriously reminding her of her loss of composure and her emotions that should not be overthought. Zuo Yue had indeed regained her senses because of his actions and words. However, her hands were tightly gripping the handrail beside the stairs and she did not speak. The sound of the door opening and closing rang in her ears. She paused for a moment and looked back at the bedroom on the first floor. After staying silent for a moment, she walked up the stairs and returned to the bedroom upstairs. As soon as she returned to the bedroom, she fell onto the bed weakly. However, the moment she closed her eyes, she felt a faint pain in her mouth. Even if she didn¡¯t bleed just now, she still fell heavily and hit his mouth. Indeed, it wasn¡¯t a kiss. It was just that they accidentally bumped into each other and their lips touched. Even if she had really had a boyfriend before, even if she had really kept her first kiss, she was not so innocent that she would think that it was something. However, the scene that happened in a split second kept replaying in her mind, making her dizzy. When she closed her eyes, all she could think of was that scene and the feeling of her lips pressing against his. She did not expect the man¡¯s lips to be so soft. She did not expect his figure to not only look so good, but when she fell on him, the perfect muscles on his body were also so comfortable to touch¡­ Wait a minute! Zuo Yue, you lunatic, what are you thinking? That¡¯s your uncle! Was it because she had not been in a relationship for eighteen years and was lacking love? She immediately sat up on the bed, turned around, and rushed into the bathroom to take another shower. In the end, she came out feeling refreshed, and there was no longer Xu Chengfeng¡¯s scent on her body and lips. However, when she continued to sit on the bed with her wet hair, she was still staring at a certain spot in the bedroom with a dazed expression. Her eyes had lost focus and she was completely lost in thought¡­ On that rainy day, the person who handed out the bloodstained banknotes. The cold man in the car, the injuries on his body¡­ The sudden appearance of the man in the small apartment, her mother¡¯s happy smile, her sluggishness¡­ The naked man in the white mist in the bathroom¡­ Although the man in the CEO¡¯s office of the technology company was unwilling to cover for her, he still let her hide under the desk safely in the end¡­ The man who had been sitting quietly opposite her and reading a technology magazine when he brought her out for dinner without urging her¡­ The man who held her head and ordered her to change her clothes and follow him at the commercial street¡­ The man whom she had pressed down on just now, the man who felt so good from top to bottom¡­ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Zuo Yue, you must be crazy! Why did he have to keep thinking about this! He¡¯s your uncle! Are you crazy? You must go back to school tomorrow and find a boyfriend to accompany you. Otherwise, you must have mental problems! Zuo Yue really wanted to find something to distract herself, but she angrily realized that she had gone downstairs to get her laptop, but she had forgotten it! She had insomnia just now, and now she didn¡¯t need to sleep anymore! ***** The next morning. Zuo Yue finally fell asleep in a daze. In the end, she was woken up by the alarm clock in less than an hour. Today was the weekend. She didn¡¯t go to the evening class yesterday, so she definitely couldn¡¯t be late today. She woke up in a daze with messy hair and washed up. After tidying up, she narrowed her eyes and nodded sleepily as she went downstairs. She was so sleepy that she almost forgot the reason for her insomnia last night. She also forgot that there was another person in the villa. When she went downstairs, she suddenly smelled the smell of milk, toast, and her favorite mango jam. She suddenly perked up and looked in the direction of the dining table by the window on the first floor. When she saw the breakfast on the table, she looked at Xu Chengfeng in surprise, who was walking out with a glass of freshly heated milk. He was still wearing a tailored shirt and trousers. He did not look like he had walked out of hell that day in the car covered in blood. Zuo Yueyu stared at him blankly for a long time until Xu Chengfeng put the milk on the table and turned to look at her. Although he didn¡¯t say anything, his eyes were signaling her to come over for breakfast. Only then did Zuo Yue rub her belly. She walked over with a dazed look in her eyes. She sat at the dining table with dark circles under her eyes. She looked at the milk and jam and then looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite her. Although he slept late last night, he was obviously sleeping well. He looked so energetic that it was obvious that he did not take last night¡¯s incident seriously after returning to the bedroom. Zuo Yue picked up the toast and dipped it in jam. She secretly muttered to herself that men were indeed fickle. Even if it was just an uncle-niece relationship, at least half of her first kiss last night was taken by him. It was good for him to be polite and lose sleep. However, he was actually sleeping so well and was in the mood to prepare breakfast for her. However, the breakfast he prepared for her was toast with milk and jam. He ate some toast and then drank coffee. It smelled like the American coffee that she had never been used to since she was young. It smelled bitter. ¡°What are you waiting for? You don¡¯t like it?¡± Noticing that she had been secretly looking at him, Xu Chengfeng suddenly put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at her with a serious gaze, as if he was really her parent. Chapter 935 - Chapter 935: My Heart Can’t Take It (20) Chapter 935: My Heart Can¡¯t Take It (20) Zuo Yue quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head to quickly eat her toast. However, because she was eating too quickly, she accidentally bit her tongue. She immediately hissed in pain and quickly took a sip of milk with a pained expression. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and then at the toast and jam on her plate.¡±¡±Do you like sweets? How could such a sweet thing be applied so much?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Zuo Yue swallowed the milk and looked up at him. She suddenly said,¡±¡±My interest in sweets is actually not that great! I prefer spicy food! A few years ago, someone brought us a spicy hot pot from China. I ate it for a few days in a row, and my mouth was so spicy that it was bubbling. However, my family restricted me from eating such spicy things since then. However, I¡¯ve always been thinking about the spicy hot pot in China. I can¡¯t eat authentic hot pot in America¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly said coldly,¡± I¡¯m just reminding you to eat less jam. Eating too much sweet food is not good for your health. I didn¡¯t try to understand your hobbies. You don¡¯t have to tell me so much.¡±¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Yue was so angry that she did not say anything. She continued to chew on the toast in front of her as if she was venting her anger. Xu Chengfeng realized that the little girl who was still willing to talk back to him a few days ago suddenly stopped talking back today. She only had a sullen expression as she ate. His lips unconsciously curled up slightly.¡±If it¡¯s not enough, there¡¯s still toast in the kitchen. You can go and bake it yourself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m full!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Yue suddenly stood up, put down the cutlery in her hand, and took out a tissue to wipe her mouth. She turned around and ran out quickly. Xu Chengfeng looked at the little girl who was running out of the villa in a student¡¯s dress. His handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and he sighed and smiled after a moment. ***** ¡°Zuo Yue, your uncle should have returned from his business trip, right? Did you go back to the villa and listen to him?¡± Zuo Yue received a call from her mother, Xu Yuan, at school. She stood by the school lawn and looked at the vast lawn in front of her with a long sigh.¡±You¡¯ve already frozen my card. I had no choice but to look for him even if I didn¡¯t want to, so guess if I listened to him obediently?¡± Xu Yuan could hear the displeasure in her words and immediately smiled.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you unhappy?¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re my mother. How can I resist your decision? How would I dare to be unhappy? But Mom, how many times have I met that uncle? How dare you freeze my own! I know you are forcing me to follow him and live in Boston, but we are still strangers, how can you be so assured? What if he doesn¡¯t care about me at all¡­¡± ¡°No, I know your uncle very well. If he can¡¯t make me feel at ease, who else can? You just have to go to school there obediently and wait until you graduate before making any requests!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that something will happen to me if I¡¯m taken care of?¡± Zuo Yue was furious.!¡± ¡°What problem could there be?¡± ¡°I¡­ He¡­¡± Zuo Yue held the phone for a long time but could not find a word to describe it. The scene of her falling on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body jumped into her mind in an instant. She immediately raised her hand to cover her forehead with a headache. What should he say? What should he say? As an eighteen-year-old girl with normal puberty hormones, how could she describe the feeling of living under the same roof with a man who was only nine years older than her?!! ¡°Is it because Chengfeng¡¯s personality is colder and you¡¯re not used to his temper?¡±Xu Yuan could roughly hear something fishy from Zuo Yue¡¯s stuttering attitude, but she did not go in the same direction as Zuo Yue¡¯s thoughts at all. Instead, she said with concern,¡±¡±You¡¯ve been too spoiled in the Zuo family for so many years. Now that you¡¯re out, once no one smiles at you all day long, you¡¯ll feel wronged. This can¡¯t do. Moreover, your uncle¡¯s temper is already good enough.¡± Was his temper good enough? Ha! Ha! Da! Zuo Yue felt that she was on the verge of exploding due to insomnia. She took two deep breaths and said,¡±¡±Mom, if I want to have a boyfriend or something now, you won¡¯t object, right?¡± After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Xu Yuan¡¯s somewhat gloomy voice sounded.¡±How long have you been in Boston and you already want a boyfriend? Who was it? Do you understand the other party? Familiar? Do you know her well? Did the other party chase you? Which country are you from? How old¡­¡± ¡°Aiya, Mom, I was just saying that casually. Stop nagging. I have to go to class. I¡¯ll hang up first. Bye!¡± ¡± Anyway, Zuo Yue, let me tell you this. If you really want to get a boyfriend, I won¡¯t stop you. But you must let your little uncle take a look first and let him check on you. Otherwise, you¡¯re such a silly girl. You¡¯re a silly girl who still has to help count the money after being sold. I¡¯m really worried¡­¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yuehen rolled his eyes and hung up the phone. Was she her biological mother? Are you sure this is your biological mother? Her mother was a Chinese woman who had grown up in America, but she had the heart of a Chinese auntie! If she didn¡¯t hurry up and get a boyfriend, was she going to think about what happened last night every day? She was still an eighteen-year-old girl, and her heart could not take it anymore. She could not be as calm as Xu Chengfeng. When she had breakfast in the morning, she could feel her heart beating wildly even if she took a second look at him. She could not help but let her imagination run wild. Get a boyfriend, get a boyfriend, she must get a boyfriend and quickly fall in love to enrich her 18-year-old life. She must not turn her 18-year-old life into a nightmare because of Xu Chengfeng¡­ Zuo Yue kept repeating this idea to go back to class. After class, Julie and Weina still had to continue working at the business street. Although Zuo Yue had been explicitly forbidden by Xu Chengfeng, even if she did not go to work, it should not be too much to accompany her good friend to sit at the business street for a while. .. 5:30 PM. Zuo Yue was sitting outside a milk coffee shop in the middle of the commercial street. She was holding a cup of warm milk coffee in her hand. When she saw Julie and Weina working hard on the streets, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of guilt¡­ They were clearly working together yesterday¡­ The big screen in front of the commercial street suddenly showed a live broadcast of a technology company¡¯s new product signing venue, as well as the participation of people from all walks of life in the country. Zuo Yue heard the words of the GN Group and suddenly looked up at the big screen. Suddenly, in a corner of the screen, she saw a familiar handsome figure surrounded by people from all walks of life. Although it was just a flash, the female companion beside him suddenly turned her head and smiled faintly at the people around her. Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows. Still not admitting that she was his girlfriend? They had just appeared here yesterday, and today, she was participating in such an important signing as a female companion! Chapter 936 - Chapter 936: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Do You Think It’s an Audition?(21) Chapter 936: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Do You Think It¡¯s an Audition?(21) Ever since Zuo Yue saw the live broadcast of the signing ceremony on the big screen in the center of the commercial street, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have disappeared again. At least Zuo Yue had not seen him for a week. It was probably because the newly acquired technology company and the newly signed project required a lot of time to start and plan. It was inevitable that he would be busy. However, he only stayed in this villa for one night that day. After that, Zuo Yue still lived here alone. This gave Zuo Yue a lot of free time. At the same time, as the exams of the medical university were approaching, she was getting busier and busier. She also had a reason not to tidy up the house. Every day, she would be in the living room and study room that she had made a mess of. She would study and study the questions. A week later, there was still a week before the exams. Zuo Yue had planned to rest at home for two days on the weekend and continue working hard the next week. However, Julie and Vera pulled her to a pub and said that they wanted to introduce a few handsome guys to her. Upon hearing that there was a handsome guy, Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes immediately lit up and she followed him without any reason. Cough, she couldn¡¯t be blamed for being immoral. As a child who grew up in the United States, dating at the age of 18 was no different from the so-called late marriage in China. When they arrived at the big PUB near the school, Zuo Yue looked around and asked,¡±¡±This PUB looks pretty good. I saw it online a few days ago and it seems to be very famous in Boston.¡± Julie smiled and pushed her and Vina inside. As she walked, she said,¡±¡±What are you afraid of? There¡¯s a handsome guy here anyway, so we don¡¯t have to pay for it!¡± Zuo Yue was pushed inside and saw a few boys around their age in the card pockets in the dark. Even if they were older, they were probably not more than a few years old. Before they came, Julie had said that they were international students from Korea and were trainees at a college next door. It seemed that when they returned to Korea, they would basically become stars. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t know much and was directly brought to the PUB. She saw the seniors from the neighboring college from afar and saw that they were indeed very handsome. They were fair and clean, and it was obvious that they would become all kinds of superstars in the future. Her eyes lit up as she walked straight towards them. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s infatuated expression, Julie whispered to Viena from behind,¡±¡±I knew it would be to her liking. Zuo Yue said a few days ago that she liked boys with Asian skin. These Korean handsome guys will definitely charm her to death, haha!¡± Weina also smiled and quickly chased after him. She held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and said,¡±¡±How is it? Haven¡¯t you always been clamoring to fall in love? Is the gift that Julie and I prepared for you sincere enough?¡± ¡°Enough! That¡¯s enough!¡± Zuo Yue looked at the handsome guys and smiled. He followed them and pushed Sangsang closer. After Julie introduced Zuo Yue and Wei Na to the two handsome guys that she was familiar with, the Korean guys stood up and made way for them to sit on the sofa. They even called the waiter to bring them drinks. At the same time, the atmosphere that they were originally communicating in Korean instantly turned into an English conversation. ¡°Junior Sister Julie said that you are all junior sisters from the medical school? A freshman this year? First time in Boston?¡± The only one among the handsome guys who did not dye his hair blonde took the initiative to pour a glass of sweet wine for Zuo Yue. At the same time, he smiled at her and asked in a very gentle and polite tone. Zuo Yue nodded her head. As these handsome men were all good-looking, she was a little uneasy when she sat down. Suddenly, a man took the initiative to greet her. Moreover, she saw that his black hair was fluffy and clean. He did not wear anything unconventional, nor did he pierce his ears. He looked like a very upright and clean boy. For a moment, she was very happy that his question did not make her feel too awkward because she was unfamiliar with him. Someone beside her asked,¡±Junior also has Asian skin. Which country are you from?¡±¡± Thus, Zuo Yue nodded and smiled,¡±¡±My ancestors are Chinese, but I grew up in the United States with my parents and grandfather, so my nationality is also in the United States.¡± ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re Chinese.¡± The boys nodded. The black-haired boy didn¡¯t participate in their conversation anymore. He put down the bottle and nodded politely at her before turning around to talk to the other boys beside him. After all, Zuo Yue was not very familiar with them. She picked up the cup of sweet wine in front of her and took a sip. She stole a glance at the handsome men sitting opposite her who were chatting and laughing. They were all quite good-looking. Even if two of them were dressed in unconventional fashion, they were still in the legendary style of young fresh meat. As long as they changed their clothes, they would definitely be extremely clean and handsome. ¡°Where did you find all these? How did you meet?¡± Zuo Yue curiously turned her head to ask Julie. Julie smiled and said,¡±Because my brother is their senior. Last year, before I came to Boston to study, I met them because I went to their college to participate in the social gathering with my brother. This year, I¡¯m studying in the college next to theirs, so I got in touch.¡±¡± At this moment, Vina was already blissful because she was sitting among a group of handsome men. She was drinking and chatting with a blonde handsome man beside her. Zuo Yue had just finished talking to Julie when she realized that a few handsome men had already turned their attention to her. Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment when she met their eyes. Then, she smiled and nodded at them.¡±Do you need me to formally introduce myself? Um¡­ Hello, I¡¯m Zuo Yue. Julie has already introduced us. We¡¯re classmates.¡± When the boys saw her cautious look, they looked at her for a long time as if they had seen something strange. Julie chuckled and whispered into Zuo Yue¡¯s ear,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be embarrassed. Before I came, I told them that I wanted to pick a handsome guy among them to be your boyfriend. They¡¯ve all seen your photos and took the initiative to let you choose. You¡¯re the main character! They were just being polite to me and Vina just now, so they didn¡¯t pay attention to you until now.¡± Zuo Yue looked at Julie¡¯s matchmaker eyes in surprise. Her eyelids twitched a few times before she quietly placed her hand on Julie¡¯s thigh and pinched her. Then, she smiled and turned to look at the boys. So many handsome guys came to be her boyfriend? Julie was usually a very sexy girl. She did not expect her friends to be so open. Did they think that this was an audition? So many handsome guys for her to choose from? How was she going to choose? Chapter 938 - Chapter 938: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Discovered (23) Chapter 938: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Discovered (23) On the other side of the PUB¡­ ¡°Mr. Ken, it¡¯s rare for me to invite you to a place like this. This PUB is the most popular nightclub in Boston. Usually, many students in the vicinity will come here. Of course, there are also many businessmen who occasionally stay here. The environment here is not bad.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at the young men and women who were swaying to the music on the dance floor in front of him and said calmly,¡±¡±Anything is fine. I really didn¡¯t expect Mr. Lauren to choose such a place before coming.¡± Lao En was a partner of the new technology project of the KP Group. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng did not refuse, he smiled and pointed in the direction ahead.¡±Mr. Ken, do you prefer a quieter private room or a card bag for the outside world? I¡¯ve already booked all the seats in front of you. You can choose!¡± ¡°As you wish.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze did not pay attention to any part of the PUB as he walked straight over. After sitting down, Lauren called the Waiter to order some drinks and snacks. The secretaries and assistants brought by the two of them also came in and sat down. A series of etiquette and information that should be used during the discussion of the project were gradually distributed on the coffee table. The lights in the PUB were all around Xu Chengfeng, and from time to time, they fell on him. His white shirt reflected the neon colors, making Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face look a little dull. Even in such an occasion where young people liked to play, it did not diminish his bearing. ***** Zuo Yue and the black-haired boy had already sat in another two-person card bag not too far away from Julie and the others. Because it was close to the dance floor, it was not very quiet, but at least it was away from the laughter of the boys. ¡°They call you Auspicious Prosperity, right?¡± Zuo Yue ate some fruits while glancing at the handsome man sitting opposite her from time to time. After the two of them sat down, he didn¡¯t talk much. He just pushed all the snacks that the waiter had sent over to her. ¡°Sister Zuo Yue, you really don¡¯t remember me?¡±Suddenly, the black-haired handsome man looked at her seriously. Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. She looked at the handsome man in front of her with a faint smile and a hint of warmth. After thinking for a long time, she was still a little confused. She could only slowly shake her head.¡±I don¡¯t seem to understand what you mean¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you remember that when you were young and went to Korea with your parents to discuss a big business project, you used to stay at our house for a few days? Back then, you always followed behind me and called me Big Brother Rui Sheng. You even said that you would marry me when you grew up. How many years has it been? Ten years? You actually forgot about it so thoroughly?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes widened instantly. Memories of her childhood flooded her mind. When she was eight years old, Zuo Enterprise seemed to have a very important project cooperation with a Korean company. When her parents went to Korea, they brought her along. However, because they had to attend some important meetings and could not bring their child along, they temporarily left her at their Korean friend¡¯s house. There was indeed a very beautiful little brother in that family who took good care of her. When she was young, she did pester him every day and even said that she would marry him when she grew up. ¡°So it¡¯s you!¡± Zuo Yue pointed at him in disbelief.¡±¡±I was wondering why you would attend such a social gathering today. They said that you never care when girls chase you. They also said that you don¡¯t like noisy environments. I didn¡¯t expect it to be you! Your name is the¡­It was¡­ Yin¡­ Ruisheng¡­ That¡¯s right! You¡¯re Yin Ruisheng, right? I remember Mom and Dad saying that your family name is Yin!¡± Yin Ruisheng revealed a gratified smile.¡±It seems that my memory is still good. I haven¡¯t completely forgotten everything.¡± Zuo Yue immediately stuck out her tongue. At first, she really just wanted to sit down and look at the handsome man and joke around. However, when she faced this acquaintance whom she had known for a few days when she was young, the atmosphere was no longer as simple as laughing and joking. She then became a little reserved. After taking a sip of the sweet wine, she looked at the wine glass in front of her again. No wonder Yin Ruisheng took the initiative to pour her a glass of wine. There were many drinks on the crystal coffee table over there. He poured her a glass of liqueur with the lowest alcohol content, which was almost fruit-flavored. It was because he poured her a glass of wine that the other boys could not randomly make a fuss and pour her those with higher alcohol content. So Big Brother Ruisheng had recognized her long ago and came to join in the fun, while also secretly protecting her? She didn¡¯t expect Brother Ruisheng to still be the same as when she was young. When she lived in their house for a few days, he took good care of her. ¡°Are you really just here to join in the fun?¡±Zuo Yue looked up and asked softly. Yin Ruisheng smiled.¡± When Julie sent your photo to them, I was there. When I saw your photo, I felt that it was very familiar. When I heard your name, I was sure that you were the little girl who said that she wanted to marry with me, so I came to take a look.¡± He actually mentioned the words she said when she was young again. Zuo Yue immediately smiled awkwardly.¡±That¡­ A child¡¯s words are always fearless, haha. Little girls at an ignorant age will always inexplicably say who they want to marry¡­¡± ¡°Who else did you tell?¡± Yin Ruisheng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at him and suddenly took another sip of wine. Yin Ruisheng reached out and pressed her hand down.¡±¡±Don¡¯t drink anymore. Even if the alcohol content is very low, the aftertaste is strong. If you drink too much, you¡¯ll still get drunk.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m a little thirsty.¡± Zuo Yue gently avoided his hand and continued to take two more sips. ¡°Sister Zuo Yue, are you nervous?¡± Yin Ruisheng chuckled.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ No, no.¡± Zuo Yue put down her wine glass and smiled sweetly.¡±¡±I just didn¡¯t expect to meet you here, so I felt a little awkward. I was really just joking with Juliana and the others just now. How could I really find a boyfriend in such an atmosphere? I was just joking, but Julie took it seriously, so¡­¡± Zuo Yue could not continue speaking because of her own nonsense. She could only raise her hand and scratch her forehead with an embarrassed expression. However, her smile was full of childishness. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I took it seriously.¡±Yin Ruisheng¡¯s voice was very soft.¡± I¡¯ve already taken your words seriously ten years ago, so I came here today to see if you would choose me.¡±¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with astonishment. .. Not far away, in the direction of the more secluded card bag, after a few rounds of toasting, the important matters in the project cooperation had almost been discussed. The secretary was negotiating the contents of the contract with the staff beside Lauren. Xu Chengfeng and Lao En smiled and said a few more words about the cooperation. Then, they picked up the crystal square glass at the side and took a sip of the Brandy that tasted good. At the same time, their eyes inadvertently looked in the direction of the dance floor. Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze stopped in the direction of the two-person card bag beside the dance floor. Chapter 939 - Chapter 939: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Embarrassed (24) Chapter 939: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Embarrassed (24) ¡°It means that I¡¯m really going to¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at Yin Ruisheng in front of her in a daze and slowly swallowed her saliva. Yin Ruisheng chuckled. His smile was calm, and his voice was light.¡±That¡¯s what you heard.¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want a boyfriend?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°You can consider me.¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Yue stood in the bathroom, washing her hands with cold water as she thought about the conversation between Yin Ruisheng and herself. At that time, her reaction was that she was so nervous that she peed herself. She ran to the bathroom to calm down for a long time before finally digesting those words. Boyfriend, boyfriend. Although she really wanted to find a boyfriend, she didn¡¯t expect him to be Yin Ruisheng! She had never thought of being especially serious! Ah, no, if she wasn¡¯t serious, could it be that she was just casually having a boyfriend for fun? But Yin Ruisheng was wrong. If he really wanted to make Yin Ruisheng his boyfriend, then he would be too serious! Her original intention was to find a boyfriend to distract herself¡­ But why did he have to divert his attention? Why did she feel that if she really walked with Yin Ruisheng, the atmosphere would be different? Zuo Yue, what exactly are you thinking? When she finally came out of the bathroom and returned to the card bag, she found that Yin Ruisheng had been called to sit in the card bag by Julie and the others. The boys were talking excitedly about something, but Yin Ruisheng was listening to them with a smile. Suddenly, Julie and Vera turned around and looked at her. They waved at her excitedly, signaling her to go over. Zuo Yue was usually a smart person, but now she walked straight over with a stupid look on her face. When she reached there, she heard the boys angrily accusing Yin Ruisheng of taking care of her so quickly and saying that he did not even give them a chance¡­ Zuo Yuezheng felt that it was a little strange when she heard this. Julie then excitedly whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Do you and Brother Rui Sheng have to be so fast? We¡¯ve already confirmed our relationship?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She didn¡¯t¡­She had clearly peed just now¡­She hasn¡¯t agreed yet. ¡± Just now, when they jokingly asked about the situation between you and Brother Ruisheng, Brother Ruisheng said that they had no chance anyway. Doesn¡¯t that mean that you and him have already¡­¡± Julie raised her hand and made a loving gesture.¡±Have you already fallen for each other?¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. No wonder the atmosphere here was so lively. It turned out that she had been misunderstood. ¡°What took you so long?¡± Yin Ruisheng asked directly when he saw Zuo Yue return. In the end, this sentence was once again ridiculed by the brothers beside him. They said that he had just settled the junior and he was already starting to interfere in everything. He even asked her when she went to the bathroom. Zuo Yue did not know how to explain the atmosphere. Yin Ruisheng did not explain either. He just smiled and pushed his brother away.¡±Alright, stop fooling around¡­¡± ¡°Hey, hey, stop fooling around. We¡¯re not your junior Zuo Yue. Don¡¯t say that to us. Aiya, Brother Ruisheng, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom too.¡± Yin Ruisheng laughed and pushed the blonde away.¡±¡±Little pervert.¡± ¡± Aiya, Brother Ruisheng, my stomach really hurts. I can¡¯t walk anymore. Help me to the bathroom¡­¡± The yellow-haired guy laughed and pestered Yin Ruisheng as he dragged him away. Seeing that Yin Ruisheng was forced to go to the bathroom with the yellow-haired guy, Zuo Yue smiled awkwardly under the gazes of the others.¡±Actually, it¡¯s not what you think¡­¡± ¡± Junior Sister Zuo Yue, you¡¯re really amazing! You actually managed to trick our Ruisheng into your hands! Do you know how many girls are chasing after him every day? I think you¡¯re going to become the public enemy of all the girls in our school in the future!¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. But since you¡¯re already our sister-in-law now, come, let¡¯s drink! Don¡¯t think that we can¡¯t tell that you and Brother Ruisheng know each other. He was protecting you just now and didn¡¯t let us give you a chance to drink white wine!¡± ¡°Junior Zuo Yue, do you know Auspicious Prosper?¡± ¡°Do you really know him?¡± Zuo Yue blinked her eyes. She felt that it was extremely embarrassing for her to pester others when she was young and say that she wanted to marry him. She could only maintain a mysterious smile and look at the handsome men with different hair colors in front of her.¡±I¡¯ve indeed seen it before, but it¡¯s not what you think.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! No wonder Brother Ruisheng came today. It seems that he came specially to snatch our junior! We don¡¯t care! We can find an opportunity to force Ruisheng to drink at any time! It¡¯s rare to see you, so you must drink! Otherwise, it would be too unfair to us! So many of us came over to be your boyfriends, but in the end, we all became supporting roles! This is really too sad!¡± Zuo Yue was silent for a moment. ¡°In any case, you and Auspicious Prosper have to give us a reasonable explanation for why we became the supporting characters today! Drink first! Junior, you must drink! Otherwise, why do you think we asked Huang Mao to take Rui Sheng away? If he was here, he definitely wouldn¡¯t let you drink it!¡± Zuo Yue glanced at the small cups of white wine that had been placed in them at some point. It seemed that these Koreans really liked to drink in these small cups. But she didn¡¯t know how to drink white wine! ¡± Zuo Yue, Junior Sister, we are all here today to set off your love with Brother Ruisheng. You can¡¯t burn the bridge after crossing it. If you don¡¯t drink this wine, you¡¯ll be too rude!¡±¡± The men pointed at the wine glasses on the table.¡±¡±Look, there are sixteen cups of wine in this small cup. You drink six cups, and then let Brother Ruisheng drink ten cups later.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We¡¯re really too angry. If you and Brother Ruisheng don¡¯t satisfy us, we won¡¯t let you go!¡± The boys kept jeering, and Zuo Yue was really embarrassed. She wanted to explain but could not. She turned to look at Julie, but Julie spread her hands at her.¡± There¡¯s no other way. When you and Brother Ruisheng went to sit alone at the side, they were already planning all of this. They even said that they must get you guys drunk. I¡¯ve never drunk this kind of white wine before, so I can¡¯t help you¡­¡± Zuo Yue glared at her.¡± You¡¯re the one who brought me here. Can¡¯t you help me?¡± I don¡¯t know how to drink either. Do you really want me to get drunk?¡± Julie looked helpless.¡± I didn¡¯t expect you to know Brother Ruisheng. Even I feel that my little heart has been deceived. Zuo Yue, just drink a few glasses to express your gratitude¡­¡± Drink a few glasses? Zuo Yue turned to look at the white wine in the small cups. It was obvious that the alcohol content was not low. Even if the cups were small, she had never drunk white wine before. She would probably not be able to take it after one or two cups. How many more cups would she drink? They said that they would let her drink six glasses! If she drank six glasses, she would probably be so drunk that she wouldn¡¯t even recognize her mother! Chapter 940 - Chapter 940: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Drunk Like This (25) Chapter 940: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Drunk Like This (25) However, those boys had no intention of letting her go. Even Julie and Weina were certain that she and Yin Ruisheng must have some kind of relationship, so they were determined to be in a relationship or something. They were a little jealous and refused to help her post. They only signaled her to drink a few glasses to make everyone feel better. Zuo Yue felt wronged in her heart, but those who were sitting here were either her good friends or Yin Ruisheng¡¯s good friends. She could not be too honest and serious. Under the jeers of the group, she could only say,¡±I don¡¯t know how to drink white wine. Why don¡¯t I just drink one glass?¡± ¡°No, we¡¯re already being very kind to you by only letting you drink six cups. If this was Korea, you should drink all sixteen cups!¡± What the hell? How would she know about Korean etiquette? Moreover, this was America, not Korea! How would she know if these people were deliberately lying to her? How would she know if this was really etiquette? Besides, there was nothing between her and Yin Ruisheng¡­ ¡± Big Brother Auspicious Prosperity has already made his stance very clear. Regardless of whether the two of you have already completely confirmed your relationship, at least this old monk of our Auspicious Prosperity has finally moved his mortal heart. As the female lead who can move the mortal heart of our Auspicious Prosperity, you should also express your gratitude. Otherwise, we won¡¯t do it¡­¡± Zuo Yue felt that perhaps Yin Ruicheng was joking. Although she was not very sure, she had already run to the bathroom before she could confirm it. ¡°Just drink a few glasses. If you really get drunk, you¡¯ll be fine with Brother Ruisheng around. If you¡¯re really worried, Weina and I are still with you. We won¡¯t leave you here alone.¡±Julie whispered into her ear,¡± It¡¯s hard to appease the resentment of so many people. Besides, you have to give me some face. Everyone is persuading you to drink. If you don¡¯t drink, then my brother and I and these seniors¡­¡± ¡°If I really drink too much, will you send me back to school?¡±Zuo Yue turned around and whispered into Julie¡¯s ear. ¡°Nonsense, if I don¡¯t send you back, who else will take you away?¡±Julie secretly glared at her. Although Julie and Vina were usually quite open-minded, they were actually quite good at making friends. At least, their initial friendship started from trust. Zuo Yue dispelled some of her concerns and stopped being bashful. She glanced at the boys who were looking forward to her drinking white wine and then looked at the white wine on the coffee table. She picked up a glass and tested the weight in her hand, then looked at the wine in the glass. ¡°Drink up, drink up. In Korea, this kind of wine is actually not intoxicating¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t give me that. I heard that although there¡¯s very little white wine in Korea, the alcohol content is very high. Many people get drunk after a few glasses.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Our Zuo Yue has already decided to drink it. It can be considered as giving you face.¡± The handsome men immediately looked at Zuo Yue with mysterious smiles.¡±¡±Hurry up and drink!¡± ¡°Are you sure you didn¡¯t put anything inside?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly looked at them warily. The boys immediately rolled their eyes at her.¡±What are we playing for? There are so many people here, and Brother Ruisheng is already your boyfriend. We don¡¯t dare to play even if we want to, dear junior!¡± That was true. These people were obviously the type who liked to joke around. She was indeed overthinking things like drugging. However, her legs still felt weak when she faced the white wine that she did not know how to drink at all. In the end, Zuo Yue did not waste any more words. She raised the small cup in her hand and put it to her mouth. She could not stand the smell of the white wine at the corner of her mouth. She endured the unaccustomed taste and poured the wine into her mouth. She swallowed it all very quickly. She did not even give herself a chance to taste it. In the end, she coughed hard because of such a small cup. ¡°The second cup! The second cup! The second cup!¡± Zuo Yue coughed until her eyes turned red because of this cup. She suddenly turned to look at the wine again. She picked up another cup and put it to her mouth, but she began to hesitate. Was she really here to find a boyfriend? Why did this joke turn out to be her own joke? ¡°Second cup, second cup, second cup!¡± Seeing that she was not drinking, the boys kept clapping and jeering. In between the laughter, someone poured a few more glasses of wine and drank with her. Zuo Yue was embarrassed and could only drink another cup¡­ Sh-it! White wine was really not ordinary! .. Ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten, ten Upon seeing this scene, Yin Ruisheng¡¯s expression froze. He suddenly walked over and first saw the empty wine glasses on the coffee table. Then, he glanced at Zuo Yue, who had obviously been drunk by his brothers while he was away. Yin Ruisheng immediately glanced at them with some displeasure. ¡°You deliberately sent me away just to force her to drink?¡± When they saw that Yin Ruisheng was about to get angry, the brothers who were still smiling earlier immediately restrained themselves. However, one of them still smiled and said,¡± Brother Ruisheng, we¡¯re here to choose a boyfriend, but you and your junior abused us single dogs like this. Aren¡¯t we allowed to take revenge?¡± ¡°If you want to drink, why don¡¯t you look for me? What did he want her to drink? Yin Ruisheng frowned and walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s side. He bent down to observe, but he saw that Zuo Yue was already in a daze and completely out of it. Her face was red, but because she had drunk too much white wine, her stomach was burning uncomfortably. She was leaning there moaning and muttering something. ¡°Aiya, Big Brother Ruisheng is so protective of women! We didn¡¯t do anything. We just wanted you to drink with us. After all, you¡¯re going to be our Korean daughter-in-law in the future ~¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We¡¯ll have to call her sister-in-law in the future. Before that, we¡¯ll just treat her to a few drinks ~¡± ¡°How many glasses did she drink?¡± Yin Ruisheng saw Zuo Yue curled up on the sofa with a red face and was in a daze. He immediately glanced at the wine glasses on the coffee table and looked at Julie and Weina at the same time. Even though Julie couldn¡¯t bear to watch Zuo Yue drink so much just now, she was the one who arranged the gathering today. It would be meaningless if everyone ruined it. So, she couldn¡¯t help Zuo Yue when she saw that she was embarrassed. Now that she saw her drunk, she felt guilty. Chapter 941 - Chapter 941: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, Dear Uncle (26) Chapter 941: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, Dear Uncle (26) ¡± She was supposed to only drink six glasses, but she collapsed here after five glasses. Then, Senior came over and fed her wine¡­¡± Julie felt that he was about to get angry. When she answered, her tone softened a little.¡±Zuo Yue drank more than ten cups like this¡­¡± When she saw Yin Ruisheng¡¯s frown, Julie knew that she had gone too far. She looked at Weina and quickly bent down to hold Zuo Yue¡¯s hand.¡±Senior, let¡¯s send her back to school first. We¡¯ll meet again some other day.¡± ¡°Yeah, Zuo Yue is already so drunk. Julie and I will send her back to school first.¡±Wei Na also thought that everyone¡¯s joke had gone too far. She came to protect Zuo Yue as if she was trying to make up for her mistake. She had the intention of sending her back to school safely to rest. However, at this moment, Yin Ruisheng could not trust them. He could not believe that Zuo Yue would be able to safely send her back when she was forced to drink by everyone but did not come to help her and even encouraged her with them. ¡°Does she usually live in school?¡± Yin Ruisheng asked lightly. At the same time, he suddenly turned around and picked up his coat from the sofa behind him. He covered Zuo Yue with it and helped her up. However, Zuo Yue could not stand steadily at this moment. The moment she stood up, she opened her eyes and looked around in a daze. However, she could not see clearly. Her head was heavy as she swayed in his arms. She muttered something that she did not know what it was, but it was obvious that she was very uncomfortable. It seemed that her stomach was not feeling well, but she laughed as she spoke. She was very drunk. ¡± Zuo Yue doesn¡¯t live on campus. She usually lives outside the school. She used to live in a small apartment nearby, but she moved to another place. We didn¡¯t ask her about it, and she didn¡¯t say anything. However, Weina and I live on campus. We can let her stay with us¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng glanced at Julie.¡± Julie looked awkwardly at Zuo Yue, who was in Yin Ruisheng¡¯s arms.¡±¡±But Zuo Yue is already like this, we¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s a hotel opposite. I¡¯ll send her there to rest. If you and Vina are worried, you can come with me.¡± As he said that, Yin Rui directly pulled Zuo Yue, who had been swaying, into his arms. At the same time, he picked up Zuo Yue¡¯s small bag on the sofa and helped her out. Seeing that Yin Ruisheng had really been provoked and didn¡¯t even look at his brothers, they felt that they had really gone too far. Brother Ruisheng, who usually had a warm attitude towards everyone, was actually angry because Zuo Yue had been forced to drink. ¡°So Brother Ruisheng isn¡¯t serious about Junior Zuo Yue, is he?¡± ¡°The two of them obviously know each other. How can a person with Auspicious Prosper¡¯s personality not be serious? If he wants to play normally, he can play casually. The reason why he specially came here today must be because of Junior Zuo Yue¡­¡± ¡± Aiya, then when we go back to school in the future, will Brother Ruisheng treat us¡­¡± The blondie suddenly raised his hand and made a throat-cutting expression. The others rolled their eyes at the yellow-haired guy, but that was about it. It was rare to see Yin Ruisheng¡¯s attitude change so much. It seemed that he really cared about Junior Zuo Yue. ¡°Aren¡¯t the two of us going with you?¡±Wei Na stood beside Zhu Li. She saw that Zuo Yue had been helped out by Yin Ruisheng and said worriedly. ¡°No need. Brother Ruisheng isn¡¯t like the other seniors. I¡¯m very assured that he¡¯ll send Zuo Yue to the hotel.¡±¡± And even if something really happened after Brother Ruisheng sent Zuo Yue to the hotel, what does it matter?¡± Julie replied softly. They already know each other, and now they¡¯re probably dating. There definitely won¡¯t be any relationship¡­¡± ¡°Moreover, Big Brother Rui Sheng treats Zuo Yue so well. Seeing Zuo Yue so drunk, I think nothing will happen.¡±Julie said with certainty and gave up the opportunity to accompany Yin Ruisheng to send Zuo Yue to the hotel. Zuo Yue was supported by Yin Ruisheng as they walked out, but her legs were weak and she could not walk properly. She leaned into his arms and laughed while muttering. Yin Ruisheng lowered his head slightly to her mouth and heard her say with a smile,¡±I don¡¯t want to drink anymore in the future. White wine tastes so bad¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng sighed and looked down at her. He gently pulled the coat that belonged to him on her body. Because she really couldn¡¯t walk, he bent down to pick her up. Suddenly, a tall figure approached him and blocked the light beside him. Yin Ruisheng had to turn his attention away. He looked over and saw a man in a white shirt walking to his side. Yin Ruisheng thought that he was just passing by, so he didn¡¯t take it seriously at first. He was about to pick Zuo Yue up when the man¡¯s cold gaze swept across his face. At the same time, he glanced at Zuo Yue, who was already drunk and almost unconscious in his arms. ¡°Where do you plan to take her?¡± The man opened his mouth, but his voice was cold and cold. Yin Ruisheng paused, then turned his eyes again. Intuition told him that he seemed to know Zuo Yue, so he asked politely,¡±¡±And you are?¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t answer, but he asked again,¡±¡±Do you know where she lives?¡± Yin Ruisheng frowned.¡± Sir, I was planning to send her to the hotel first, but what exactly are you¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he felt Zuo Yue suddenly push him. He turned around and saw Zuo Yue turn around and retch on the ground for a long time, but nothing came out. She covered her stomach and groaned in discomfort. She squinted her eyes and looked at him under the light in the corridor in front of the PUB. Then she smiled and shook her head. It was as if she had just seen the person beside her. Zuo Yue turned her eyes and stared at the man whose expression was hidden under the rotating light. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and reached out to touch his face with a smile. Xu Chengfeng turned his body slightly at the right time, but at the same time, he directly held her wrist. His cold expression looked a little strange and oppressive in front of Yin Ruisheng. But what Zuo Yue said next made Yin Ruisheng raise his eyes in shock. ¡°Uncle¡­Haha¡­ Why are you here¡­¡± Zuo Yue laughed as she staggered and pounced towards Xu Chengfeng. It was not until Zuo Yue fell into a sturdy embrace that she chuckled and leaned her head against Xu Chengfeng¡¯s chest like a kitten,¡±¡±Uncle¡­Uncle¡­This is my dear little uncle¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was not displeased by her reckless approach, but he held Zuo Yue in his arms. At the same time, his cold gaze swept across the black-haired boy¡¯s face. Chapter 942 - Chapter 942: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-What a Soft Mouth (27) Chapter 942: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-What a Soft Mouth (27) ¡°Send her to the hotel? You?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice seemed to have been tempered with ice. It was obvious that he was highly suspicious of the boy¡¯s motives. She did not expect the man in front of her to be Zuo Yue¡¯s relative. However, judging from her age, even if Yin Ruisheng had some suspicions, Zuo Yue¡¯s sudden action of pouncing on him made him unable to reach out and carry her back. ¡°Sir, please don¡¯t misunderstand. Zuo Yue and I have known each other for a long time. It was just a coincidence that she was at the social gathering tonight. She was so drunk that she couldn¡¯t go to school, so I planned to send her to the hotel opposite to rest.¡±Yin Ruisheng answered neither obsequiously nor arrogantly, but at the same time, he was observing the man who was holding Zuo Yue in his arms in a protective manner. ¡°You can¡¯t go to school, and you can¡¯t go to the hotel either.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at the boy in front of him coldly like an elder.¡±¡±Do you have any objections to me sending her home?¡± Yin Ruisheng hesitated for a moment. Is he really her uncle?¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t explain. He didn¡¯t want to waste his breath on these young men and women. He just looked at him coldly and pulled the drunk little girl up from his arms. He turned her around to look at Yin Ruisheng. ¡°Can you tell who is who?¡± Xu Chengfeng grabbed her collar as if he was holding a chicken carcass. This ungentle action made Yin Ruisheng frown. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes stared straight at Yin Ruisheng, and she suddenly chuckled. She pointed at Yin Ruisheng¡¯s face and said with a smile,¡±¡±Yin Ruisheng¡­I recognize you¡­Burp¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she burped. Although she was seriously drunk, this proved that she could still recognize the person beside her. Xu Chengfeng suddenly let go of Zuo Yue¡¯s hand. Zuo Yue¡¯s legs went weak and she swayed on the spot. Suddenly, she shook her head hard. Seeing that she was about to fall, Yin Ruisheng was about to reach out to support her, but Zuo Yue staggered and instinctively fell into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. As she fell, she groaned in pain,¡±¡±Uncle¡­Uncomfortable (Uncomfortable) So she clearly remembered that the person was her uncle? Yin Ruisheng¡¯s raised hand suddenly stiffened, but when he completely realized that the person in front of him was indeed Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, he straightened his face and explained,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry. I was really not sure if you and Zuo Yue were really relatives just now, so my words were a little offensive.¡± However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have heard his words at all. He only pulled the little drunkard into his arms. When Zuo Yue buried her face in his arms and groaned, he hid his dissatisfaction with the girl and only looked at the boy coldly.¡±I¡¯ll send her home. If you don¡¯t have any objections, you can leave.¡± How could he really allow her to have an opinion? After all, this was Zuo Yue¡¯s elder. Although Yin Ruisheng was a little surprised by his impolite words, he could not say too much. He could only nod.¡±Then¡­Are you sending her home?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips suddenly curled up, but his smile was filled with cold mockery.¡±¡±If I don¡¯t send her home, do you think I¡¯ll send her to a hotel?¡± Knowing that Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle had misunderstood something, Yin Ruisheng did not know how to explain himself. He only smiled faintly, but at the same time, he was relieved by Zuo Yue¡¯s protective attitude and took a step back. He nodded politely at him.¡±Take care.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zuo Yue was still in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms, mumbling something. Xu Chengfeng immediately scooped Zuo Yue up from his arms. At the same time, he picked her up horizontally and walked out of the PUB without looking back. After exiting the PUB, the cold autumn wind blew past. Zuo Yue immediately shrank into a warm spot beside her. The jacket that Yin Ruisheng had covered her with had fallen to the ground. She was so cold that she could only lean her head against Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. Her body was also shivering in his arms. Feeling the trembling and uneasiness of the little girl in his arms, Xu Chengfeng glanced at the parking lot a few steps away from them. He carried her directly to the Cayenne, opened the door, and let her in. Zuo Yue had just sat down when she opened her eyes and pointed at his face with a smile.¡±¡±Uncle¡­I know you¡¯re my uncle¡­Hehe¡­¡± As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the front button of his shirt. As she tugged, she exerted force, as if she was afraid that he would leave her alone. Just as Xu Chengfeng was about to retreat, she tugged his shirt even harder.¡±Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t leave me behind. ¡°Let go.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was cold and serious. At the same time, he raised his hand mercilessly and was about to push her hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­Uncle, I drank a lot of wine¡­Don¡¯t leave me behind¡­If you leave me here, something will definitely happen¡­¡± Zuo Yue said half-drunk, half-awake. As she spoke, she was about to lean her head into his arms to continue searching for warmth. Xu Chengfeng paused slightly because she still knew to pay attention to her safety even after she was drunk. She even completely relied on and trusted him. In these two seconds of absent-mindedness, Zuo Yue had already succeeded in throwing herself into his arms again. Her hands were tightly wrapped around his waist. She buried her face in his chest as if she was looking for a comfortable angle and position. She let out a satisfied sigh¡­ ¡°You still know that you drank a lot?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s tone softened because of his dependence and the way he snuggled into his arms like a kitten. However, he still looked at the little thing that reeked in alcohol with dissatisfaction and said coldly,¡±Why didn¡¯t you tell me before you came to participate in this kind of social gathering?¡± Zuo Yue did not answer. She was about to fall asleep, but she felt that it was very strange. Before, she thought that her uncle was especially annoying, but now she felt that his body smelled very good. Her attention was all on his embrace and the pleasant smell on his body, so she did not pay attention to what he was saying. Even if he noticed¡­ She was so drunk that she basically couldn¡¯t understand¡­ Realizing that he was trying to reason with a little drunkard, Xu Chengfeng sighed and was about to push her away from his arms, but Zuo Yue¡¯s hands were tightly wrapped around his waist and refused to let go. She maintained the position of him standing beside the car and her sitting in the front passenger seat with the car door open. They hugged each other strangely. ¡°Zuo Yue, let go.¡± Sensing the passers-by¡¯s gaze, Xu Chengfeng furrowed his brows and his voice deepened. However, Zuo Yue acted as if she did not hear him. She leaned her head even tighter in his arms and muttered,¡±¡±Uncle¡­Your mouth¡­ It¡¯s so soft¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s entire body tensed up, and his face, which had warmed up a little because of her dependence, turned cold. He pulled her hands away from his waist and pushed her back into the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s head bumped backward and she opened her eyes in grievance. What she saw was Xu Chengfeng closing the car door with a bang. Chapter 943 - Chapter 943: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Heart Itches (28) Chapter 943: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Heart Itches (28) What¡¯s wrong? Zuo Yue¡¯s face puffed up in anger. She raised her hand and rubbed her head that hurt from hitting the sturdy leather chair. She looked out. It was not until the door of the driver¡¯s seat opened that a gust of wind blew in. She had a terrible headache and could only close her eyes to endure the pain. When Xu Chengfeng got into the car, he saw Zuo Yue frowning because of her headache. He looked at her and bent over to help her fasten her seatbelt. Zuo Yue felt a warm feeling and leaned her head on his shoulder. Xu Chengfeng did not avoid her. After he fastened his seatbelt, he raised his hand to straighten her up. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and enjoyed herself as she leaned back on the back of the seat. At the same time, she let out a comfortable snort. Xu Chengfeng looked down at her for a moment and sighed. It was indeed troublesome. This little troublemaker was completely unaware that he was immersed in the sea of alcohol. He would laugh from time to time while sitting in the car, and then he would mumble non-stop. Sometimes, he would speak in English, sometimes in Chinese, and sometimes in a mixed language that even he couldn¡¯t understand. From time to time, he would even call her uncle¡­ The Cayenne left the parking lot in front of the PUB. It was very close to Boston Medical University and the villa. In just a few minutes, the car was already parked in front of the villa. However, Zuo Yue had already fallen asleep in these few minutes. Her little head was hanging down, and she was in a deep sleep. Xu Chengfeng looked at the troublemaker beside him with a headache. He remembered that after noticing her in the PUB, he saw that she seemed to be gathering with her classmates and friends. Although there were many people of the opposite sex, most of them seemed to be children around her age. Even though he was her elder, there was no need to restrict a group of young men and women from socializing and drinking in a PUB, so he did not intend to interfere with Zuo Yue¡¯s matters at that time. As long as she knew her limits and knew how to protect herself, he would not appear in front of her today. However, the situation suddenly changed in the end. She was inexplicably forced to drink a lot. She saw with her own eyes that this usually vigilant little girl was constantly forced to drink, and then she saw her being teased by a few boys. Xu Chengfeng, who had been observing the development of the situation from afar, did not think that at her age, there was no need to stop the various situations that would happen between these young students. Until the black-haired boy helped her leave alone, and until that moment, Xu Chengfeng, who was still considering whether he should interfere in her matters, did not know why he was so nosy. If that little boy was her boyfriend, it would not be too much even if something happened between them at the hotel. However, at that time, he threw down the contract that he had not signed and stood up to walk out¡­ Xu Chengfeng looked at the sleeping Zuo Yue and placed his hand on her head. He patted her gently and sighed. In the end, she was still his niece. In his eyes, she was his woman. The little girl was taken away like this without knowing the world. He could not completely ignore and let her go. After all, Xu Yuan had handed her to him and asked him to take care of her. He could not really watch her be in danger and ignore her. Because of his hand movements, Zuo Yue was like a little kitten that was comforted. She opened her eyes in a drunken dream and looked at him in a daze. At the same time, she raised her small face and rubbed it in his palm. Then, she said with a smile,¡±Uncle¡­Actually, you¡¯re not that annoying¡­Hehe¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hands paused and he stared at her for a while. After a while, he burst out laughing. The little troublemaker¡¯s frustration was actually soothed by her drunken words. It was like being brushed by the soft fur of a kitten, and his heart inexplicably itched. ***** In her drunken dream, Zuo Yue felt as if she was being carried into a very warm place. Her back suddenly felt soft. The moment her body was laid flat on the bed, she turned over comfortably. In the end, she simply found a sprawling position and stopped. Clearly, it was more comfortable to sleep like this. When Xu Chengfeng saw her posture, the veins on his forehead throbbed. However, because of the smell of alcohol on Zuo Yue, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom with an unfriendly expression. The bedroom door opened and closed. Zuo Yue vaguely heard the sound of the door closing. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked around. She felt strange. Why was she back in her uncle¡¯s villa? Was he dreaming? Zuo Yue barely managed to turn over and sit up. She raised her hand to press on her head. Her stomach was also burning because of the white wine. She turned around and got off the bed. As soon as she stood up, her legs went weak and she staggered back onto the bed. She almost fell back down. She finally managed to sit down. She raised her hand and rubbed her head non-stop. She looked around and placed her hand on the table beside her. She mustered some strength to walk to the door. When she placed her hand on the door handle of the bedroom, she heard the sound of water coming from downstairs. Because they were separated by a floor, the voice was not very real. However, Zuo Yue had already gotten used to living in this villa. Moreover, she was alone most of the time, so when there were other voices here, she could hear them very keenly. She opened the door and walked out. She saw the dim light on the corridor on the second floor, and the sound of water became even more vivid. Zuo Yue¡¯s brain was at the level of a broken piece. She could not remember what had happened before this. She only vaguely remembered that she had been persuaded by the boys to drink a lot at the PUB. She remembered that Yin Ruisheng and the blonde had gone to the bathroom and had not returned. She remembered that she had drunk about five or six glasses of white wine at that time. After that, she could not stand it anymore and sat on the sofa. Then, her consciousness was completely blurred¡­ And then¡­ It was as if someone was holding her, or hugging her¡­ She couldn¡¯t remember what else had happened. Her thoughts were completely cut off, so how could she be back in the villa now? It was really terrifying to think about it. Could it be that she had gone out to drink and was seen by Xu Chengfeng? After all, she couldn¡¯t have come back on her own, and no one else knew that she lived here, not even Julie and Vina. Zuo Yue walked to the top of the stairs and looked down. She saw that the lights in the living room were on. Because she had a terrible headache now, she held the handrails on both sides carefully when she went downstairs to prevent the same thing from happening again. After walking down the marble staircase from the second floor with great difficulty, Zuo Yue felt as if she had used up all her strength. When her feet stopped at the bottom of the stairs, she finally heard the sound of water and the sound of something stirring and colliding with the cup coming from the kitchen. Chapter 944 - Chapter 944: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-In Every Way (29) Chapter 944: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-In Every Way (29) Zuo Yue walked towards the kitchen. Because she had already gone down the stairs, her careful concentration from before was much lighter. When she passed by the sofa, she glanced at the places on the sofa that had been cleaned up. She probably remembered that she seemed to have forgotten about her agreement with him and did not clean up the room at all. She remembered that the sofa should have been very messy¡­ Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly tripped on the carpet beside the coffee table and staggered forward. With a thud, her head hit the corner of the crystal coffee table. She cursed in pain and raised her hand to touch her forehead. Xu Chengfeng happened to come out with a cup of sobering tea at this moment. He instantly saw the scene of Zuo Yue crashing into the coffee table. The moment he came out, it was already too late to stop her. Zuo Yue clutched her head in pain and curled up beside the coffee table, groaning. Xu Chengfeng frowned slightly and strode over. He placed the glass cup in his hand on the coffee table and reached out to pull her hand away from her forehead. At the same time, he glanced at her forehead, which had instantly turned red and swollen. ¡°Ah¡­ Hiss¡­ Don¡¯t touch it, it hurts¡­¡± Feeling a warm hand caressing her forehead, Zuo Yue hurriedly turned her face away in pain. Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly at the same time. How old are you? Don¡¯t you know how to look at your feet when you walk?¡± ¡°I drank too much¡­¡± Zuo Yue was already considered to be seventy percent awake. Even if it was painful, she still knew how to find an excuse to absolve herself of her extremely stupid actions when she was being blamed. ¡°You drank too much this time. Did you drink too much when you fell down the stairs last time?¡±As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he reached his hand under her armpit and picked her up. At the same time, he threw her onto the sofa. It was throwing! He threw her onto the sofa, and the moment he let go of her, it was as if she was a god of plague. Zuo Yue looked at him from the corner of her eyes, but she was still in no mood to argue with him because of the pain in her head. She raised her hand to touch her forehead again, but before her hand could touch it, she heard Xu Chengsheng¡¯s cold and low voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t touch it with your hands. Put your hands down.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue turned to look at the source of the voice, feeling wronged. She saw that he had gone to another room on the first floor. However, Xu Chengfeng only went in for about a minute before he came out. When he came out, he had a first aid kit in his hand. The moment Zuo Yue saw the first aid kit, she suddenly looked at him in surprise and then looked at the first aid kit.¡±That¡¯s my first aid kit¡­¡± Last time, after she was kidnapped into the car, they let her leave at the bus station. She left the first aid kit in the car. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her coldly.¡± I forgot to throw it out when you left it in the car last time, so I brought it back.¡±¡± However, this explanation still made Zuo Yue look at him in surprise.¡±¡±You¡¯re afraid that this first aid kit would be stained with your blood and be discovered by others, so you didn¡¯t throw it away, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng was not unhappy that she had coincidentally found out the truth in her daze. He just walked over and said coldly,¡±¡±You should be glad that you didn¡¯t hit your head. The few things in this first aid kit can still be used.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. She remembered that there were indeed some daily necessities in her first aid kit. Other than the items that she needed most when she helped him stop the bleeding in the car, everything else was quite complete. Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a slight chill on her forehead. She was in so much pain that she hissed and was about to dodge when Xu Chengfeng suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.¡±Sit tight and don¡¯t move.¡± Zuo Yue endured the pain. There was still a hint of drunkenness in her eyes, but she was basically awake now. She raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, who was wiping the wound on her forehead with a cold towel. ¡°If you¡¯re injured, there¡¯s medicine in the first aid kit to reduce the swelling.¡±Zuo Yue whispered. Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear her at all. He continued to wipe her forehead with the cold towel. Zuo Yue pursed her lips because of his ungentle action, but she did not say anything. She just sat there quietly and did not move. It wasn¡¯t until a moment later that she suddenly had an ice pack on her forehead that she realized why he had used a cold towel to wipe her forehead. It turned out that he wanted her to apply ice to reduce the swelling first¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± Zuo Yue quickly raised her hand to take the ice pack. Xu Chengfeng let go of her hand and turned to look at the cup of sobering tea on the coffee table that was no longer hot. He picked it up and brought it to her mouth.¡±Drink it. It¡¯s used to sober up. It can break down the alcohol concentration in your stomach. At least it can ensure that the wine won¡¯t hurt your body.¡± When Zuo Yue heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words, she looked up at him in confusion. Seeing that she did not take it, Xu Chengfeng brought the cup of hangover tea closer to her. Zuo Yue quickly raised her hand to take it, but she put an ice pack on her forehead with one hand and took a sip of the hangover tea in the glass cup with the other. So he was making tea for her in the kitchen just now? It turned out that such a cold person like Xu Chengfeng also knew how to take care of others¡­ Apart from his attitude, which was still a thousand miles away from others, he was actually meticulous. From the looks of it, if the mysterious identity behind him was thrown away, he really looked no different from an ordinary person. It was indeed trustworthy. This was probably the reason why her mother had entrusted her to him. Zuo Yue sipped on the warm hangover tea in her cup as she quietly looked up. She saw that Xu Chengfeng was not wearing his usual casual shirt, but a very reserved white shirt and black trousers that looked like it could only be worn in formal occasions. Because of the style of the white shirt, there was an inexplicable sense of abstinence, which made Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skip a beat. When she came back to her senses, she asked softly,¡±¡±Uncle, how did you bring me back? Looking at your clothes, were you discussing something important with someone? How did you¡­¡± Seeing that although this girl realized it late, she was still very observant about the way the upper class dressed. She knew this common sense quite well. His cold gaze fell on her face and he said softly,¡±You don¡¯t remember?¡± Zuo Yue recalled for a moment, but her mind was a vast expanse of whiteness, the last memory was just drinking, but she shook her head directly. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was cold.¡± I won¡¯t restrict you from attending any gatherings or social gatherings with your peers at your age. But Zuo Yue, if you still know how to love yourself, you must promise me that you won¡¯t touch a drop of alcohol in those kinds of occasions in the future. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that I won¡¯t ban you from participating in such activities in the future.¡±¡± Chapter 945 - Chapter 945: Ask the Moon on the Wind-Do You Want Me to Help You Bathe (30) Chapter 945: Ask the Moon on the Wind-Do You Want Me to Help You Bathe (30) Although she was a little unconvinced, Zuo Yue also knew that he was doing this for her own good. Therefore, she held it in for a while and did not retort. She only looked at him with a slightly aggrieved expression and said softly,¡±You were really discussing something with someone else before, right? Did I delay your business?¡± Xu Chengfeng had already turned around and walked in the direction of the study. He did not look at her again, but threw her a sentence,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ve basically discussed everything that needs to be discussed. The secretary and assistant will be in charge of the follow-up matters.¡± Zuo Yue turned around and saw that he had already entered the study room. He must have something to do, so she did not chase after him and continue to ask how she was brought back. However, that pub was indeed very big. Other than the students nearby, there would occasionally be some people who went to that kind of place to discuss business. After all, it was a social gathering. The CEOs and various financial businessmen had different preferences. Some people liked quiet and elegant places, while others liked the quiet and peaceful couple in the noisy. There was no need to ask much. She could guess how she was discovered by Xu Chengfeng. However, based on his attitude towards her, it was already very good that he did not leave her there. He was even so kind as to bring her back safely. No matter how cold and indifferent he was to her, he still took care of her more or less. Even if it was only because of responsibility. After drinking the sobering tea in the cup, he felt that the burning feeling in his stomach had indeed been diluted to a much lighter level. Moreover, this effect was not bad, and it also had the effect of relieving headaches. It was only a short while before Zuo Yue felt some sweat on her body. If it wasn¡¯t for the ice pack on her head, Zuo Yue would have fallen asleep temporarily because her body was gradually feeling better. She put down the glass cup and stood up, carefully walking around the coffee table. Although she was still a little dizzy, she was almost awake. She walked to the door of the study room step by step. The door was only half-open, not completely closed, and not locked from the inside. She leaned against the door and heard Xu Chengfeng answering the phone in the study. It seemed that he was talking about the newly acquired technology company. He had been busy with the technology company recently. It seemed that he still had a lot of things to deal with after taking over. Zuo Yue held the ice pack in one hand and pressed it against her forehead. She leaned back against the wall with the other hand and looked inside. For some reason, she felt that the gap between her and her uncle, which had once been formed because of the strangeness and discomfort between them, seemed to be disappearing bit by bit. This feeling made her feel exceptionally good. Even though there was a big bump on her forehead, she was still in a good mood. Not long after, Xu Chengfeng put down the phone. He had already heard Zuo Yue outside the door. He got up and walked out. When he opened the door, he saw Zuo Yue leaning against the wall by the door. Although her eyes were still a little drunk and the smell of alcohol was still strong, there was a smile in her eyes. Xu Chengfeng thought that she was still a little confused, so he glanced at her.¡±¡±Go back to the bedroom and rest. What are you standing here for?¡± ¡°Uncle, thank you for today.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him. There was still a smile in her eyes. In fact, when she was drinking, she was worried that something unpredictable would happen because she drank too much. However, because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s appearance, she was able to return here safely. Whether it was her good friend or Yin Ruisheng, who she had reunited with today, they could not give her such a sense of security. However, she suddenly felt a sense of security here. It came from Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were indifferent. He did not reply, but it was obvious that he had accepted her gratitude. However, he had no intention of continuing the conversation with her. He only glanced in the direction of the stairs.¡±I can¡¯t go up by myself. Aren¡¯t you going back?¡± Zuo Yue chuckled.¡± Not yet. I¡¯m just not sleepy. Although I¡¯m a little dizzy, I don¡¯t feel like sleeping at all.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± Then find something to do or take a shower.¡±¡± After saying that, he looked at her clothes again. After bringing her back, he directly placed her on the bed. Even if she was his niece, she was still an 18-year-old girl, so he didn¡¯t help her take off her clothes or wipe her clothes. Zuo Yue raised her hand and sniffed her sleeve. Then, she smiled again. Perhaps it was because she was still a little drunk, but she loved to smile tonight. ¡°It really doesn¡¯t smell good¡­¡± Zuo Yue took off the ice pack on her head as she spoke. Then, she leaned her head in front of him.¡±Help me see if the swelling has subsided. My hands are sore from holding the ice pack.¡± The swelling on her forehead had subsided a little, but there was still a slight redness and swelling. In addition, there were red marks on her skin from the ice pack. Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He took the ice pack from her hand.¡±Alright, go take a shower. I¡¯ll help you apply the medicine when you come out.¡± ¡°Are you helping me apply the medicine?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly looked at him excitedly. Seeing her strange expression, Xu Chengfeng, who was about to turn around, looked at her again and said calmly,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? If you don¡¯t need my help, take the first aid kit back to the bedroom and do it yourself.¡± ¡°Uh¡­No, I¡¯m just a little surprised. I didn¡¯t think you were such a good person in the past.¡±Zuo Yue said sincerely as she laughed,¡±¡±Uncle, you¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking so much nonsense. Why aren¡¯t you taking a shower? You¡¯re eighteen, not eight. Do you want me to wash you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly turned red.¡± Oh, I¡­I¡¯ll go take a shower. But Uncle, I¡­¡± ¡°Hurry up and go!¡± ¡°..¡± Actually, Zuo Yue didn¡¯t mean to become so talkative. She had always said that although she grew up in the Zuo family, her parents were usually very busy. Although her parents had always been very good to her, they had no time to accompany her. Her grandfather also had his own things to do. Moreover, her grandfather was not the kind of person who liked to be too close to the younger generation. He was always very strict. Therefore, she had grown up playing with Wang Ma and the servants at home. She had never had the feeling of having a loved one by her side to protect her at all times. Even her brother, Zuo Hancheng, was not close to her. Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had not stepped into the Zuo family for a few years. She just wanted to say what was in her heart, to erase the unpleasant past between her and her uncle, as well as the strange feeling from before. She wanted to get along well with him in the future. However, he did not give her a chance to speak at all. Zuo Yue had no choice but to rub the part of her forehead that was still hurting as she turned around and went upstairs. She went back to the bedroom to get a change of clothes and then went to take a shower. Chapter 946 - Chapter 946: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Won’t the Wolf Show Its Wrath (31) Chapter 946: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Won¡¯t the Wolf Show Its Wrath (31) After taking a shower, Zuo Yuexue felt like sleeping, but she still remembered that Xu Chengfeng said he would help her apply the medicine. So she endured the drowsiness and climbed out of the bathtub. She changed into her nightgown and went downstairs. It was already late at night. Because Zuo Yue had drunk, and in order to avoid the situation where he was seen by her in the bathroom last time, Xu Chengfeng planned to take a shower after she fell asleep. Hearing footsteps coming from the stairs, he looked back and saw Zuo Yue walking down in a new white nightgown. She was not focused enough when she walked down, and he suspected that she would fall down the stairs again. It was not until Zuo Yue went downstairs safely and walked to the sofa that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze landed on her nightgown. Zuo Yue looked up at him and then looked down at the nightgown she was wearing. Although it was very thin and slightly see-through, it was not very see-through. Moreover, it was not a sexy spaghetti strap style, but a half-long sleeve. There were some small butterflies embroidered in front of her body. The overall feeling was very clean, and there should not be anything wrong with it. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zuo Yue asked. Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away.¡± It¡¯s not summer anymore. There¡¯s no need to wear so thin at home. Find some time during the weekend to buy two sets of pajamas suitable for autumn.¡±¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and scratched her head. Her hair was still a little wet. After grabbing a handful of hair, she sat down lazily on the sofa and leaned back. She raised her head and closed her eyes.¡±Uncle, you should rest early after applying the medicine for me. Are you still going to be busy these few days? I¡¯ve been staying here for quite a long time, but you¡¯ve only come back twice. Including today, it can only be considered twice¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and took out some painkillers from the first aid kit. As he helped her apply the medicine, he said softly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you like living alone?¡± ¡°I¡¯m used to living alone in that small apartment. But your villa is so big. I¡¯m alone every day.¡±Zuo Yue narrowed her eyes and complained softly,¡±¡±And every day when I¡¯m alone at home, I occasionally see your things. That feeling is so strange.¡± ¡°What¡¯s strange?¡± ¡± I just feel like a little wife who was abandoned by her husband. My husband doesn¡¯t come home all night, and I¡¯m the only one living pitifully in this villa¡­¡± The medicine on her head suddenly stopped. Zuo Yue opened her eyes and saw that Xu Chengfeng seemed to have already applied the medicine for her and was covering the medicine in his hand. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Go back to sleep. Xu Chengfeng was expressionless. Zuo Yue quickly sat up straight.¡± I was joking just now. I was just saying that when I was here alone and occasionally saw your things, I would have that strange feeling. And I was just making a hypothesis. It was just a metaphor¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not react to her explanation or her previous words at all. He only looked at the time and said coldly,¡±What time is it now?¡± Zuo Yue also looked at the time and answered obediently,¡±¡±It¡¯s two o¡¯clock in the morning.¡± ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Xu Chengfeng said, then got up and left the area around her. Zuo Yue looked at him innocently. She was really just joking. Why was he suddenly so far away from her? Even if he was good-looking, even if she was not very clear-headed and always wanted to talk to him and joke with him, he was her uncle and not some stranger. She would not suddenly throw herself at him. Why was he so wary of her? As Zuo Yue was still lying on the sofa, Xu Chengfeng completely ignored her. He went to pour some water, get some clothes, go to the bedroom, or fill the bathroom with water. In short, he did not care about her anymore. Feeling that she was being ignored again, Zuo Yue had no choice but to turn around and go upstairs to the bedroom after sitting for a long time. Although she was very sleepy and tired after lying on the bed, she thought of the atmosphere between her and her uncle today. Even though he still treated her with the same cold attitude, at least she still felt warm inside. Zuo Yue suddenly smiled and closed her eyes to sleep peacefully. The last time Xu Chengfeng came back to stay, she could not sleep because there was one more person at home. But now, because he was in the villa, she felt inexplicably at ease and quickly fell asleep. ***** The next morning. After Zuo Yue finished washing up, she endured the headache from the hangover and went downstairs. She thought that Xu Chengfeng would personally prepare breakfast for her, but when she went downstairs, she found that the villa was empty, and the dining table was empty. It was obvious that Xu Chengfeng was not at home. He had already left. Zuo Yue stood in the living room on the first floor for a while. She could not hide the disappointment in her eyes as she looked around. She walked to the kitchen and saw that Xu Chengfeng was not there. She then went to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bedroom on the first floor and knocked. It was very quiet inside. The bedroom door was not locked. When she opened it, she saw the dark blue bed neatly arranged, as if no one had slept in it before. Could it be that she drank too much last night and was hallucinating? Could it be that it wasn¡¯t her uncle who sent her back? Could it be that the atmosphere that made her happy and let go of her grudges last night was just an illusion in her dream? Zuo Yue stood outside Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bedroom in a daze. She closed the door and walked out. However, the wound on her forehead was still there. Moreover, when she was washing up just now, she saw the yellow ointment on her forehead that had already solidified. So, last night should have been real¡­ But did he leave after she fell asleep last night? She doesn¡¯t live here at all? With all kinds of questions, Zuo Yue went to the kitchen to get the bread machine and casually baked a few slices of bread. She also took out some strawberry salad from the refrigerator and wiped some on it before eating a few mouthfuls perfunctorily. She sat at the dining table and munched on the bread in her hand while looking at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s number on her phone. It seemed like she had never called him because he had told her not to bother him unless it was something important. However, Zuo Yue stared at her phone for a long time and could not help but call that number. She didn¡¯t believe it. Her uncle had treated her very well last night, so he shouldn¡¯t hate her or do anything to her just because she called him. Moreover, that was her uncle, not someone else. It shouldn¡¯t be a big deal if she just called him¡­ However, when the call was connected, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart still beat a few times for some reason. This was his youngest uncle¡¯s private number. She wondered if he had brought his phone with him. The phone only rang four or five times before it was picked up. The man¡¯s low, sexy, and clear voice came from the other end of the phone.¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± Zuo Yue swallowed the bread in her mouth and said,¡±¡±Uncle, when did you leave last night? Aren¡¯t you staying at home?¡± Chapter 947 - Chapter 947: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Always Laughing (32) Chapter 947: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Always Laughing (32) On the other end of the phone, Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment. There seemed to be someone talking next to him. It sounded like a woman. That woman was calling him Ken. Ken, is that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s English name? However, the key point now was not his English name. It was already past six in the morning, and there was a woman beside him. Why was she calling him so affectionately? All sorts of ambiguous scenes flashed through Zuo Yue¡¯s mind. She also wondered what Xu Chengfeng had gone out to do after leaving overnight last night¡­ He should have a girlfriend, right? If he had a girlfriend, he should have a normal life with her. Although he promised to take care of her, there was indeed no need for him to stay here to accompany her. Zuo Yue was suddenly depressed because of these thoughts. She was so depressed that she did not even want to listen to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s answer. She directly picked up the bread and took another bite. Xu Chengfeng was talking to the person on the other end of the phone. A moment later, his voice came clearly from the phone.¡±I just arrived in New York and I have something to do. Remember to eat breakfast. If you¡¯re suffering from a hangover, take a pill to relieve it.¡± ¡°New York?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused.¡± He calculated the time she slept last night and looked at the time now. That meant that he had been in the car since he left last night and did not have any so-called girlfriend¡­ So who was the person speaking next to him? If she was just a secretary, she wouldn¡¯t have called him so affectionately. But no matter what, her uncle was only busy with something and did not leave her at home to accompany his girlfriend. This kind of invisible answer made Zuo Yue feel much better. ¡°Uncle, you must be very tired after rushing for a few hours.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Xu Chengfeng let out a faint sigh. It was obvious that he was a little tired. ¡°Then you should be busy with your things, or you should rest. I¡¯ll go to school after breakfast.¡±¡±Ah, and, Uncle, are you staying in New York today?¡± Zuo Yue asked. Aren¡¯t you coming back tonight?¡± ¡°Not necessarily.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zuo Yue immediately started to feel disappointed again.¡±¡±I thought you could stay at home for a few more days this time.¡± The other party suddenly fell silent. Xu Chengfeng seemed to have noticed the sudden change in her attitude. She did not know if he was not used to it or did not want to get too close to her, but he did not say anything else. ¡°Uncle, you can go ahead with your work. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±Zuo Yue said softly. ¡°Yes.¡± In the end, Xu Chengfeng only responded with a faint voice. Zuo Yue hung up the phone and placed it on the dining table. She held her chin in one hand and a half-eaten piece of bread in the other. Suddenly, he let out a long sigh. No matter what, at least her uncle did not hate her for calling, and he did not remind her not to bother him unless it was important. At least this proved that Uncle did not hate her as much as before. Zuo Yue¡¯s mood improved again. This fluctuating mood made her feel a little strange, but she still happily ate a few pieces of bread and got up to clear the table. She hummed a song as she wondered if her uncle would come back tonight. Ken, Ken¡­ Feeling that this name was more suitable, Zuo Yue cleaned up the cutlery and returned to the dining table. She picked up her phone and took out Xu Chengfeng¡¯s number. Because Xu Chengfeng had saved this number with her phone, the name was Xu Chengfeng. It was not Uncle or any other nickname. It was simply Xu Chengfeng. Zuo Yue changed his name and added the three letters ¡®Ken¡¯ at the end. Then, he stared at the three letters and felt more and more familiar. The more he looked at them, the better his mood became. Hehe! ***** ¡°Zuo Yue, are you really in love with Brother Ruisheng?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± After Zuo Yue asked this question in school, she looked at her in confusion,¡±¡±You and Julie didn¡¯t take it seriously, did you? I only met Yin Ruisheng in the past¡­¡± ¡°Who are you lying to? You even secretly took out your phone to look at it during Professor Shirui¡¯s class this morning. You were smiling as you looked at it. You¡¯re obviously in love.¡±Vina rolled her eyes at her.¡± Professor Shirui¡¯s class has always been your favorite. You¡¯re always so serious. But today, you¡¯ve been looking at your phone the whole time.¡±¡± Zuo Yue was stunned.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Julie also came over.¡± You¡¯re really smiling. Anyone would believe that you¡¯re in love!¡± Tell me quickly, how did you manage to trick Brother Rui Sheng? I didn¡¯t see much interaction between the two of you yesterday. You just went to sit by the side for a while and you progressed so quickly?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Yin Ruisheng and I are really not what you think. Besides, I don¡¯t even have his phone number. How can I laugh just because I¡¯m chatting with him on my phone?¡±¡± ¡°Who else could it be but Brother Ruisheng?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth moved, but she could not answer. In the morning, during Professor Shirui¡¯s class, she saw a student with a cute little doll in her bag. It was a very popular doll this year, but because it had just been released, it could only be bought in New York and Washington. Therefore, she decided to send him a message on the spur of the moment. She was also curious if her uncle had been resting at that time. She asked him if he could help her buy that doll when he came back. Although she only received Xu Chengfeng¡¯s reply after a few minutes, she was already excited that he would reply to such a boring message. She also saw his concise answer,¡±Okay.¡±¡±When he heard this word, Zuo Yuexue held his phone and was happy for a long time. So what Julie and Vina saw was probably the scene of her holding her phone and smiling¡­ She just felt that her uncle really did not hate her anymore, so she was in a particularly good mood. How could others suspect that she was in love? ¡°No one. I just asked someone to bring something back for me. He agreed, so I was very happy at that time.¡±Zuo Yue explained casually. ¡°What are you bringing?¡± Julie and Viena were curious. Before Zuo Yue could reply, the phone in Zuo Yueyi¡¯s pocket suddenly vibrated. She picked up the phone and glanced at it. She was shocked to see that it was a picture message from Xu Chengfeng. She immediately opened it with a curious expression. In the end, she saw the doll section in the New York store. There were all kinds of dolls, but the colors were different. Below the picture was Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words: ¡°What color do you want?¡± Zuo Yue immediately replied,[You went to buy it for me so quickly?]¡± ¡°I just passed by and saw this shop.¡± ¡°Ah, blue then! I like the blue one!¡± After a while, the other party replied,[I bought all seven colors. You can go back and pick them yourself.]¡± Chapter 948 - Chapter 948: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-He Actually (33) Chapter 948: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-He Actually (33) Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes widened instantly. He bought all seven colors? That was a global limited edition! There were only 99 sets in the world! Each small doll cost nearly 30,000 USD! It was US dollars! USD! As for the seven¡­ The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched fiercely. She knew that Xu Chengfeng was rich, but Uncle, did you have to be so rich? These were not expensive accessories, just a few small dolls. She had only said that she wanted one, and she was just trying to find a topic to talk about. In the end, he had bought her one! ¡°One is enough.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s fingers were trembling as she typed on her phone. But this time, Xu Chengfeng did not reply. He must have really just been passing by and saw a place that sold those dolls, so he got out of the car to help her buy a set. Now that his mission was completed, he went straight to work, right? Zuo Yue had been holding her phone with a heavy heart the entire day. She did not know if it was because of the set of dolls that she was so excited that she was restless or something else. In short, she would always look at her phone from time to time and look at the few messages that her uncle had replied to her. Although it was very short and did not say a word of nonsense like he usually did, but¡­ She was still in a good mood! ¡°You still say that you¡¯re not in love. It looks like you¡¯re in love.¡± At night, when she was having dinner with Juliana at a restaurant near the school, Juliana looked at Zuo Yue with disdain when she saw her state.¡±¡±Tell me, how did you and Brother Ruisheng meet?¡± Zuo Yue put down her phone and said helplessly,¡±¡±I really have nothing to do with Yin Ruisheng. I just met him when I was young.¡± ¡°Who would believe that? From your current state, it¡¯s obvious that you¡¯re in love. But if the other party isn¡¯t Brother Ruisheng, could it be that you¡¯re secretly dating someone else behind our backs?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Zuo Yue said as she lowered her head and used her fork to pick up a piece of steak and put it into her mouth. ¡°Look, she¡¯s obviously feeling guilty.¡±Vina whispered. Zuo Yue did not know how to explain. She was really just talking to her uncle. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Julie said. Zuo Yue blushed. She wanted to talk about her uncle directly, but just as she was about to speak, she remembered that after Julie and Weina saw her uncle on the business street, they had asked her who the super good-looking man was. Later on, she only said that she was a relative of the family and didn¡¯t say anything else. If these two little **** wanted to become her auntie because of lust, what would she do? No, no, no, he absolutely could not mention his uncle in front of these two little b * tches. ¡°Whatever you think. I¡¯m not in a relationship anyway.¡±Zuo Yue happily ate her steak. She put down her knife and fork, picked up her cup, and drank her drink while thinking about the set of dolls. After dinner, Julie and Vera were still apologizing for what happened at the PUB last night. They did not choose to send Zuo Yue home immediately, but they also did not know where Zuo Yue lived outside the school. So Zuo Yue did not think much of it when the two of them insisted on sending her home this time. After all, the classmates she was familiar with had good family backgrounds. Moreover, everyone knew that she was the granddaughter of the famous Chinese family in Los Angeles. Even if they knew that she lived in the villa near the school, they would not be surprised. However, when they really reached the door of the villa, Julie and Vina were still surprised.¡±I didn¡¯t expect you to live here!¡± Zuo Yue smiled faintly and then asked,¡±¡±Do you want to go in and sit? There were fruit juices and drinks at home, as well as some precious red wine.¡± ¡°Maybe another day. I have a date tonight.¡±Julie chuckled and casually explained to Zuo Yue why she did not send her off last night before leaving with Vina. Zuo Yue stood outside the villa and looked at her two good friends who had already left on foot. She smiled. In fact, she could understand what happened last night. After all, they were all old and wanted to maintain their reputation. Moreover, Julie was the one who organized the social gathering. It was normal that she couldn¡¯t help her block the wine. After all, she couldn¡¯t disappoint her. A gust of cold wind blew past, and Zuo Yue shivered. Only then did she notice that it was almost ten o¡¯clock at night. Just now, he went shopping and ate steak with the two of them. It was not easy for him to come back, but it was already so late. He turned around and was about to enter the villa when he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the dark gray Porsche in the private parking lot in front of the villa. After looking at the license plate number again, she suddenly turned to look at the lights in the villa. Uncle is back? He was still in New York this morning and said that he might not be back tonight, but he actually came back?! Zuo Yue could not hide the excitement in her heart. She quickly walked back. The moment she opened the door and walked in, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure. However, he was holding a document in his hand. At the same time, he was on the phone with someone else. It sounded like he was communicating the contents of the document in his hand. Zuo Yue also slowed down her footsteps and did not disturb him. After closing the door and entering, she changed out of her shoes and walked into the living room. Xu Chengfeng, who was on the phone, saw her. His gaze only lingered for a moment on her small face, which was slightly pale from the wind, before he continued to talk about the contents of the document on the other end of the phone. Although he was in Russia all year round, his American English was very fluent and pleasant to hear. Zuo Yue put down her bag as she listened. She also noticed Xu Chengfeng¡¯s clothes. It seemed that he had just entered the house not long ago and had not even taken off his coat. Zuo Yue turned around and poured a cup of water. She handed the cup to him with an expression as if she was going to show filial piety to her uncle. After Xu Chengfeng finished talking to the others, he put down the documents in his hand and glanced at the water that Zuo Yue handed him with a smile. Zuo Yue smiled and said softly,¡±This is for you ~ My dear uncle ~¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her indifferently. Although he did not reply, he took the warm water she handed him and turned around to walk to the French window with the glass of water in his hand. With his back facing her, he continued to talk seriously to the person on the other end of the phone. However, Zuo Yue was in a very good mood. Seeing Xu Chengfeng standing there made her feel especially good. That feeling was like a sense of belonging that had not been abandoned, and a vague feeling of being missed. When Xu Chengfeng put down the phone, his mouth was indeed a little dry. After drinking a mouthful of water, he paused, as if he had just recovered from the contents of the phone call. He glanced at the glass cup in his hand and turned to see Zuo Yue standing there with a smile on her face. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and her fair fingers were intertwined. She was staring at him as he drank the water. She seemed to be smiling very happily. Xu Chengfeng looked at her, then at the cup in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and said,¡±¡±You poisoned the water?¡± Chapter 949 - Chapter 949: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Uncle Is So Handsome (34) Chapter 949: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Uncle Is So Handsome (34) Zuo Yue did not expect him to suddenly ask such a question. She immediately said with a straight face,¡±¡±No¡­¡± ¡°Then why are you standing there smiling like a fool?¡± Xu Chengfeng casually put down the glass in his hand as if he was looking at a lunatic. At the same time, he took off his coat and was about to take it away. Zuo Yue suddenly rushed over and snatched the coat from his hands.¡±¡±I¡¯ll do it!¡± Xu Chengfeng paused. His hand stopped in mid-air and he looked at the excited and eager Zuo Yue. When Zuo Yue hung up his coat and turned around to look at him with a smile, Xu Chengfeng looked at the smile in her eyes.¡±¡±Why are you in such a good mood?¡± Zuo Yue just smiled and did not speak. After being stared at by her for a long time, Xu Chengfeng finally felt that something was wrong. He frowned in confusion.¡±You¡­¡± ¡°Uncle, why are you back tonight? I remember that when I called you this morning, you said that you might not come back tonight.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly opened his mouth, but he said excitedly,¡±¡±Are you tired? Do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her for a while, as if he wanted to see what she was thinking from her attitude. A moment later, he replied indifferently,¡±¡­¡± I¡¯m not tired.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue replied with an ¡®oh¡¯ and stood obediently on the spot. ¡°Can¡¯t you take the time to clean the room when you¡¯re in such a good mood? Have you forgotten what you promised me the last time I gave you the card?¡± Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away from her bright smile and looked at the thin layer of dust on the ground. ¡°I¡¯ve been very careful to maintain hygiene and order. From this morning until now, the house hasn¡¯t been very messy at all.¡±Zuo Yue said innocently as she looked at the ground. Then, she turned to look at him.¡±Do we have to clean up this kind of dust that is difficult to detect with the naked eye? Why don¡¯t we clean up together tomorrow¡­¡± Before she could finish, Xu Chengfeng had already turned around and was about to return to his room. Zuo Yue saw that he did not intend to listen to her nonsense anymore, so she quickly followed him and said,¡±¡±That¡­ I¡¯ll clean that up in a while!¡± Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks. He did not expect her to be so obedient today. He immediately looked back at her.¡±Did you take the wrong medicine today?¡± Zuo Yue smiled and stretched out her small hand towards him, saying,¡±¡±Where¡¯s my doll¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and finally found the reason why she was so obedient and attentive today. Zuo Yue saw him lift his chin slightly to signal for her to go to the sofa. She immediately turned her eyes to look in that direction. After taking a closer look, she saw a long and exquisitely packaged box on the magazine beside the coffee table. One look at the size of the box and she knew that he had indeed bought all seven colors! Seeing Zuo Yue turn around and open the box excitedly, Xu Chengfeng sighed and shook his head at her childish behavior and her unconcerned expression because of her gratitude to him. He turned around and went back to the bedroom to change his clothes. ¡°Oh my god!¡± After opening the packaging, he found that the seven little dolls were in seven different positions and were placed in a natural and flawless crystal box. Each of them looked very exquisite. One look and one could tell that they were definitely limited edition authentic goods. Zuo Yue stared at the crystal box for a long time. She lifted it up and carefully looked at the seven cute little dolls inside. She immediately turned to look in the direction of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bedroom and quickly ran over with the crystal box in her hand. Although the bedroom door was closed, Zuo Yue still smiled and leaned in front of the door. She said through the door,¡±¡±Uncle, I really only wanted one before, but you bought me a set. This gift is too expensive. I don¡¯t even know how to repay you¡­¡± The door in front of him suddenly opened. Xu Chengfeng, who had already changed his business shirt and trousers into a home-style T-shirt and pure cotton trousers, walked out. The moment he opened the door, he saw Zuo Yue standing in front of the door happily with a crystal box in her arms. He glanced at her.¡± Don¡¯t cause trouble everywhere you go while you¡¯re studying in Boston. Don¡¯t let me worry about you. That¡¯s the best way to repay you.¡±¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at him.¡±I didn¡¯t cause any trouble!¡± Xu Chengfeng snorted and walked out of the bedroom without looking at her again. Zuo Yue turned around and stared at him for a long time before she suddenly turned around and followed him. As she followed behind him, she said,¡±¡±Uncle, you look so handsome in this T-shirt!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked back at her nonchalantly.¡±¡±It¡¯s just a set of dolls. You don¡¯t have to bootlick me all the time. Just do what you have to do.¡± ¡°I¡¯m serious¡­¡± Zuo Yue felt a little innocent. Xu Chengfeng looked at the time, then at her, and changed the topic.¡±¡±You¡¯re back so late today?¡± ¡°I went out shopping and eating with my friends just now because I thought I was still staying here alone today. I felt a little bored, so I wanted to take a walk with my friends. If I knew you would be back today, I would have been waiting at home early.¡± Seeing how she was still expressing her gratitude and eagerness, Xu Chengfeng curled his lips slightly.¡±¡±You can go shopping with your friends in the future, but don¡¯t stay up so late. You¡¯re not a young child, so I don¡¯t need to remind you of the current situation in America. It¡¯s already very chaotic during the day, and there will be riots in some trouble zones at night.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Although Zuo Yue was still not used to being controlled by Xu Chengfeng, she could at least let go of her previous anger and grudges. She understood that he was doing this for her own good, so she did not resist his control. Seeing that she was actually so obedient because of this set of dolls, Xu Chengfeng turned around and looked at her seriously.¡±¡±Zuo Yue.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Hearing him suddenly call her name, Zuo Yue, who had been in a strange state earlier, suddenly came back to her senses and looked up at him. ¡°You are the granddaughter of the Zuo family. Although this kind of doll is indeed expensive, it is not to the extent that you want to buy it but don¡¯t dare to buy it. I promised to help you buy this set of dolls, but it is a belated meeting gift between our uncle and nephew. You don¡¯t have to feel that you owe me anything because of this small thing, and you don¡¯t have to follow me around at home like this.¡± Only then did Zuo Yue realize that she had not left him for a moment. She had not run to the bedroom door and followed him. She suddenly felt embarrassed and said,¡±I¡¯m just really grateful. I feel very flattered.¡± Didn¡¯t I tell you before, Mom? My parents and grandfather are very strict with me and restrict me in all aspects. Therefore, although they can afford this kind of thing, they have never spoiled me. That¡¯s why I¡¯m especially surprised and grateful¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not express his opinion because of her words of gratitude. He only glanced at her and said calmly,¡±I don¡¯t see any traces of strict discipline on you.¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. In an instant, he could no longer suppress his darkened expression. Chapter 950 - Chapter 950: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Let’s Go Back Together (35) Chapter 950: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Let¡¯s Go Back Together (35) ¡± If you like strict education¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her again. Zuo Yue quickly put down the little doll in her hand, then jogged over to him, raised her hand, and gently hammered his shoulder twice.¡±¡±Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. It¡¯s already very good like this. Look, our relationship has finally started to ease up a little, right? You can feel it too, right? Finally, there was no need to be so hostile! Isn¡¯t this good?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze fell on her face. He suddenly reached out and moved her little paws away from his shoulder.¡±Go up and sleep now. Don¡¯t act like a flea in front of me.¡± Zuo Yue immediately withdrew her hand and muttered softly,¡±¡±I just don¡¯t know how to thank you. Uncle, you¡¯re too hurtful.¡± Xu Chengfeng scoffed.¡± No need to thank me. It¡¯s nothing. I just bought a gift to coax the child.¡±¡± Even though she was called a child, Zuo Yue was still in a good mood. She smiled and turned around to pick up the set of small dolls again. She kissed them and said with a smile,¡±I will definitely treasure this set of dolls in the future!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome eyebrows slightly raised, but he did not say anything else. He had probably been on the road all day and had been busy in New York for a day. He should be tired and did not have much energy to deal with her. Zuo Yue did not pester him anymore. She carried the set of little dolls in her arms and went upstairs happily. She held the set of little dolls carefully as if they were the most precious and fragile treasures in the world. After returning to the bedroom, she placed the things in her hands on the small table beside the bed. Then, she sat by the bed and stared at the set of dolls. After looking at it for a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. She clearly hated Xu Chengfeng so much before, but why did she suddenly feel that he was especially good now? Even his cold and aloof appearance that did not like to talk to her was so good. Zuo Yue, oh Zuo Yue, you¡¯re still not tough enough. You¡¯ve been subdued in just a few days. Moreover, with just this set of dolls, you¡¯ve completely turned into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s fangirl. If others knew that she was so useless now, they would definitely laugh their heads off! ***** What made Zuo Yue a little depressed was that just as her relationship with her uncle had eased a little, he was still busy with the newly acquired technology company. He did not have much free time to come back and stay with her, or take the time to properly communicate with her about the relationship between uncle and niece. However, there would occasionally be a day when he would suddenly come back to stay. Although he would often chase her back upstairs to sleep, Zuo Yue would also look forward to it. Every day, she waited in anticipation for her uncle to come back. Then, one day, he finally came back. That feeling was indescribable! After the busy exams at B City Medical University ended, there would be a week of vacation. Zuo Yue was still discussing with Julie where to go for the vacation this week. She even said that she wanted to fly to Hawaii to bask in the sun. However, before she could even confirm her schedule, Zuo¡¯s mother, Xu Yuan, suddenly called. She asked her to go back to Los Angeles with her uncle during the few days of vacation to visit her grandfather. The trip to Hawaii had to be put on hold. Zuo Yue rested her chin on her hands and lay lazily on the sofa, waiting for Xu Chengfeng to come back and talk to him about going back to Los Angeles. That night, Xu Chengfeng really came back. Zuo Yue quickly got up and went out to welcome him. She did not know what was wrong with her recently, but she was in a good mood whenever she saw him. Seeing the little girl come out to welcome him, Xu Chengfeng glanced at her as he walked in and said calmly,¡±¡±Why are you so happy? Was it because he was going back to Los Angeles or was it because he was going back to the Xu family?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m just happy because you¡¯re back, Uncle.¡±Zuo Yue said honestly. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s footsteps slowed for a few seconds before he continued walking through the door. At the same time, he looked at the time and said,¡±¡±Go change your clothes.¡± Zuo Yue was wearing her home pajamas and was stunned when she heard his words.¡±¡±Are we leaving now? The sky is already dark¡­¡± ¡°Drive back overnight. You can sleep in the car.¡±Xu Chengfeng glanced at her as he spoke.¡±¡±You should know that I¡¯m in a hurry. The reason why I agreed to return to the Xu family this time is because your grandfather is about to die. However, it won¡¯t be long before I go back. If you want to follow my schedule, you have to accept the way I drive overnight.¡± Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground.¡± But I heard from my mother that Grandpa¡¯s body has already recovered. Why are you saying that Grandpa¡¯s life is coming to an end?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze landed on her face.¡±¡±You don¡¯t want to go back? That¡¯s good. I¡¯ll also be a Conti¡­¡± He suddenly put down the electronic car key in his hand. It was obvious that he had no intention of returning to the Xu family. He had no choice but to agree to go back to the Xu family in Los Angeles because of the responsibility of the Xu family and Xu Yuan¡¯s request to accompany Zuo Yue back. ¡°I¡¯ll go change my clothes now! We¡¯ll go back immediately!¡± Seeing that her uncle did not have any intention of returning to Los Angeles, Zuo Yue was afraid that her emotions would affect their schedule, so she quickly turned around and went back to the bedroom to change. No matter where they went, whether it was to Hawaii for a vacation or back to Los Angeles, if her youngest uncle accompanied her back, at least she could see him every day for the next few days. She could ride in his car and go back to visit her grandfather with him. She did not have to wait alone in the villa every day. Besides, she really wasn¡¯t very clear about her grandfather¡¯s health condition. Her mother had never told her about these unhappy things. Although her parents were very strict with her, they still protected her little world occasionally. However, it was precisely because of this that she was not particularly close to her grandfather and grandfather. When she changed her clothes and came out, Xu Chengfeng was already waiting for her in the car. Zuo Yue was especially excited when she thought about being alone with her uncle during the journey from Boston to Los Angeles. When she ran out, she saw that it was not his dark gray Porsche parked outside, but the black Cayenne she had seen when she first saw him covered in blood in the rain. The moment she saw the Cayenne, Zuo Yue subconsciously looked in the direction of the driver¡¯s seat. As expected, the person driving was not Xu Chengfeng. She hesitated for a moment before opening the back door and getting into the car. When she got in, she saw that the driver was the one who forced her into the car with a gun. She immediately felt a chill down her spine. However, the man sitting in the driver¡¯s seat seemed to already know about her relationship with Xu Chengfeng. He did not say much and only nodded politely at her through the rearview mirror. Zuo Yue was a little scared when she saw him, so she couldn¡¯t help but move closer to Xu Chengfeng. At the same time, she whispered,¡±¡± When I saw you throw the key just now, I thought you were driving¡­¡± Chapter 951 - Chapter 951: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-One Step Closer (36) Chapter 951: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-One Step Closer (36) Hearing the disappointment in the little girl¡¯s tone, Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her. The man sitting in the driver¡¯s seat smiled at the same time and said,¡±Miss Zuo, our BOSS did plan to drive you back to Los Angeles, but he drank a lot of alcohol at the social gathering this afternoon. In addition, he has been catching a cold for the past few days and is not in a good state. In order to ensure your safety, he asked me to drive Miss Zuo back.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment and quickly turned to look at Xu Chengfeng. She really did not notice the smell of alcohol on him at home just now. He must have taken a shower and changed his clothes before he came back? However, now that she was sitting so close to him, she could more or less smell the faint smell of alcohol. Although it was not strong and very faint, it proved that he had indeed drunk today. ¡°Uncle, do you have a cold?¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she suddenly raised her hand and placed it on his forehead. Xu Chengfeng did not say much at first, and he was only watching the little girl¡¯s reaction. However, her sudden action of raising her hand made his gaze sink slightly. Just as he was about to turn his head, Zuo Yue raised her hand and stroked his head unwillingly.¡±It¡¯s really a little hot. Although the fever doesn¡¯t seem very serious, you still have a fever. Why didn¡¯t you tell me before? You¡¯re already sick, but you still went to socialize and drink.¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed softly and pulled her hand away from his head. At the same time, he frowned and said,¡±Be quiet. It¡¯s just a small cold. I¡¯ll be fine after taking a nap on the way back.¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Yue, on the other hand, was about to drive away when the man in the driver¡¯s seat suddenly pushed open the door and got out of the car. Ignoring Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice, she turned around and ran back to the villa. She went to the first aid kit and took out a box of cold medicine and antipyretic patches that she had prepared a few days ago before coming out. After getting back into the car, she opened the cold medicine and handed him a glass of water.¡±Then, we¡¯ll set off after drinking the medicine.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Recently, the temperature has dropped very quickly. Many of my classmates have fallen ill. I was afraid that I would catch a cold, so when you were not at home, I went to buy some essential medicine and put it in the first aid kit. It¡¯s normal to have these medicines at home.¡± Zuo Yue said as she brought the water to his mouth.¡±¡±Quickly drink the medicine and drink more water. Then, you can sit in the car and sleep. That way, you can recover faster.¡± What Zuo Yue did not notice was that the man in the driver¡¯s seat had seen her expression and actions when she was wholeheartedly concerned about Xu Chengfeng. The man suddenly smiled and said,¡±¡±Boss, I didn¡¯t expect Miss Zuo to be so concerned about your health.¡± Zuo Yue ignored him, but seeing that Xu Chengfeng did not take the medicine, she simply opened the medicine and placed the pill in her palm. Then, she fed it to his mouth and placed her palm against his mouth, saying,¡±¡±Hurry up and open your mouth. Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t like to take medicine at your age. Even children know to take medicine when they¡¯re sick.¡± Xu Chengfeng first avoided her hand, but Zuo Yue continued to stick to his mouth.¡±¡±Hurry up and eat. You¡¯re sending me back to Los Angeles, not to Los Angeles to see a doctor. Do you still want to go back to the Xu family with an illness like this?¡± Her illogical words made Xu Chengfeng take the pill from her hand helplessly. However, he did not take it directly with his mouth. Instead, he raised his hand and took the pill before putting it into his mouth. At the same time, he took the cup from Zuo Yue¡¯s hand. Seeing that he had finally taken the medicine, Zuo Yue took the cup back with satisfaction.¡±¡±That¡¯s more like it.¡± Seeing the satisfied smile in her eyes, Xu Chengfeng looked away and saw the man sitting in the driver¡¯s seat secretly looking at them through the rearview mirror. There was still a smile in his eyes. Xu Chengfeng frowned and said coldly,¡±¡±What are you looking at? This is my niece. Don¡¯t you already know that?¡± The man laughed.¡± I know, I know. But I haven¡¯t seen you take medicine for so many years. Haven¡¯t you always been allergic to medicine?¡± Why did he make such a huge sacrifice today?¡± Zuo Yue was about to open the car door and leave when she heard this. She turned to look at the man in surprise and then at Xu Chengfeng, who looked calm and collected.¡± Drug allergy?! ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m only allergic to certain drug ingredients. This cold medicine doesn¡¯t matter.¡±Xu Chengfeng explained casually. However, Zuo Yue still turned to look at the man in the driver¡¯s seat with a shocked expression. The man saw that she was frightened and could only explain with a smile,¡±¡±Miss Zuo, don¡¯t worry. Our Boss is indeed allergic to certain drugs, so he has a habit of rejecting these pills and capsules. He just rarely takes medicine, so this cold medicine is indeed not related.¡± Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng again as if she was certain. After all, if he had an allergic reaction to the cold medicine, his expression would have changed by now. However, he did not seem to have any change, so he should not be allergic to the cold medicine. She got out of the car and put the cup back. When she got back into the car, she signaled the man to drive while tearing off the antipyretic patch in her hand. Seeing that she still wanted to paste this kind of thing on him, Xu Chengfeng frowned without batting an eyelid.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, it¡¯s just a low fever. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble.¡± ¡°This kind of antipyretic paste is not for children, but for adults. It will be comfortable after you put it on. It won¡¯t affect your sleep after you put it on.¡±Zuo Yue said as she pressed the antipyretic paste directly on his forehead. Although Xu Chengfeng did not try his best to dodge, he still maintained an indifferent expression and sat there without moving. He looked at the little girl who was so concerned about him because of a small cold. The car had already started, but the man in the driver¡¯s seat glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time and could not help but laugh. Xu Chengfeng shot him a cold glance.¡±¡±Focus on driving.¡± The man did not say anything else, but he would occasionally glance at Zuo Yue and then smile. Zuo Yue saw that he did not seem to be as cold and scary as the last time. He no longer pointed his gun at her and there was a smile on his face. She turned her head and whispered to Xu Chengfeng,¡±¡±Is he your designated driver?¡± This person had been calling Xu Chengfeng ¡®boss¡¯, so it was impossible for him to be Xu Chengfeng¡¯s friend. In Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes, he should be a chauffeur. Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and said in a low voice,¡±¡±More or less.¡± The man¡¯s mouth twitched, but he did not explain further. From the most valuable, most promising, most handsome, most perfect, and most adorable sniper in the eyes of all the women in the Russian mafia, he had turned into a special driver for the BOSS¡­ Since he was working for the BOSS, he could tolerate whatever identity or title he had¡­ Chapter 952 - Chapter 952: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Red Eyes, Red Face (37) Chapter 952: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Red Eyes, Red Face (37) On the way back to Los Angeles, Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes most of the time and did not talk much, perhaps because he had taken medicine. In the beginning, Zuo Yue asked him a lot of questions, and he could still respond a little. After an hour, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s response gradually decreased. Zuo Yue knew that taking the cold medicine would make people sleepy, so she did not continue to talk to Xu Chengfeng. When she felt that he was about to fall asleep, she asked the driver for a thin blanket and gently covered him. Xu Chengfeng did not move. Zuo Yue was also very happy to take care of him when he was sick. She did not notice anything before, but now that she saw him with his eyes closed, he did not look as cold and distant as usual. However, at the same time that she could rarely observe him up close, she did see that his lips were slightly pale. He was indeed sick. Zuo Yue supported her chin with one hand and tilted her head to look at Xu Chengfeng sleeping. ¡°Miss Zuo.¡± The man in the driver¡¯s seat suddenly spoke. ¡°Shh!¡± Zuo Yue turned around and glared at him. At the same time, she raised her hand to her mouth and made a silent gesture. The man in the driver¡¯s seat sighed and laughed.¡± No matter if we make a sound or not, Boss won¡¯t really fall into a deep sleep. He¡¯s just pretending to rest for a while. He¡¯s not really asleep.¡±¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. She thought that he was asleep just now and even leaned close to see if there were any pores on his face. He did not even move! ¡°Why is he so alert?¡± She couldn¡¯t help but ask emotionally. The man chuckled.¡± I think that Miss Zuo should know that his identity is not simple after she helped our BOSS stop the bleeding.¡± ¡°Ait, shut up.¡± Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold voice sounded. The man called ¡± Ainte ¡± immediately shut up. He threw a look at Zuo Yue through the rearview mirror as if to say,¡± See, I told you Boss wasn¡¯t really asleep.¡± Zuo Yue also turned her eyes to look at Xu Chengfeng. Although he had just opened his mouth, he still had his eyes closed. He did not intend to participate in their conversation, but he ended it. Anyway, she already knew that he was related to ***, so what was there to hide? Why didn¡¯t you let them talk? Zuo Yue pursed her lips and suddenly said,¡±¡±Your name is Ayat? How was the gunshot wound on his abdomen dealt with? Didn¡¯t you go to the hospital in the end? However, when I saw him again a month later, I felt that he was recovering very quickly. It hasn¡¯t even been two months yet.¡± Ayt smiled.¡± Of course he went to the hospital. But he went to a private hospital that we are familiar with. Don¡¯t worry, the injury isn¡¯t that serious. Our BOSS¡­¡± Suddenly, Ainte stopped talking. Instead, he restrained his expression and voice and focused on driving. Zuo Yue was stunned. She did not understand why he suddenly stopped talking. She subconsciously looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that Xu Chengfeng had opened his eyes. Although he was still leaning on the leather chair behind him, his eyes were cold and calm. She immediately turned to look at him. Don¡¯t you feel a little sick?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her indifferently again.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I warn you to focus on your studies in Boston and not ask too much about me?¡± Zuo Yue immediately looked innocent.¡± I didn¡¯t ask. It was Ainte who said it himself!¡±¡± Ainte immediately rolled his eyes at the rearview mirror.¡±Boss, your niece¡¯s ability to lie through her teeth is better than mine.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not look at him. He suddenly got up and raised his hand to remove the white fever patch on his head. Zuo Yue quickly reached out to hold him down and pulled his hand down even harder. She held his hand tightly and said,¡±Don¡¯t take it off! You¡¯re still sick! His body was still a little hot! This thing was really effective!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her sideways.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. It was only then that she noticed that in order to hold him down firmly, she was pressing down on his hand with one hand while the other hand was already hooked around his neck. She was practically hugging him forcefully. Half of her body was also tightly pressed into his embrace. Zuo Yue gently bit her lips and did not retreat immediately. Instead, she blinked and looked at Xu Chengfeng, whose eyes suddenly revealed some coldness. She whispered,¡±¡±Then you must promise to listen to me obediently and not take off the antipyretic plaster.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He only looked at her coldly and then looked at the place where she was tightly pressed against his chest. The softness of the girl¡¯s chest was tightly pressed against his chest, and the fragrance of the girl¡¯s body was constantly entering his nose. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was getting colder and colder, Zuo Yue was about to speak when she suddenly heard him say,¡±¡±Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re no longer a child.¡± Although it was just a reminder, Zuo Yue was instantly stunned. She seemed to understand what he was reminding her about and quickly stepped back. However, she inexplicably felt awkward and sour in her heart. At the same time, Xu Chengfeng took off the fever patch on his head. Seeing his actions, Zuo Yue did not say anything else. Instead, she placed her hands on her thighs. Her fingers were intertwined, and her knuckles were white. It looked like they were about to be tied into a dead knot. She turned her head, and her eyes were inexplicably red. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sour. She was clearly not the kind of girl who liked to cry, but her relationship with her uncle had clearly improved so much. However, the way he had distanced himself from her and the indifference he had shown towards her concern made her nose turn sour and her eyes turn red. ¡°Ait, stop at the service station in front.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice sounded again. Zuo Yue quickly turned her head to look at him.¡± ¡± Boss?¡± Ainte was also stunned.¡± Boss?¡±¡± When she turned around, Xu Chengfeng saw that her eyes had turned red. He was about to push away the thin blanket on his body, but he paused for a moment. Then, he quietly put the blanket aside and did not look at her eyes again. Instead, he said calmly,¡±You forced me to drink a whole glass of water before we set off. I¡¯ll get out of the car and go to the service station to find a bathroom. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly turned from red to red. She hurriedly raised her hand to tuck the hair on her cheek behind her ear.¡±No, no problem¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze lingered on her small head that turned away awkwardly for two seconds, but Ait was laughing secretly in front of him. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at him coldly.¡± Ainte laughed as he parked the car at the service area. After parking the car, he smiled and said,¡±No, nothing. I just think that your niece is quite cute¡­¡± Chapter 953 - Chapter 953: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Suspicious of Her Past (38) Chapter 953: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Suspicious of Her Past (38) Before Xu Chengfeng could get out of the car, Zuo Yue opened the door and ran out. Seeing that the little girl was the first to run towards the washroom in the service area, Ainte smiled again.¡±She seems to be embarrassed.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned slightly.¡± Ainte, watch your words in front of her. She¡¯s still half a child, and she¡¯s my niece.¡±¡± ¡°Boss, haven¡¯t you always been suspicious of your background?¡± Ayt raised his eyebrows.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not respond to his question. He simply opened the car door and got out of the car, ending the conversation. Ayt could only sit in the car and shrug his shoulders. He couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he thought about how the little girl ran out of the car with a red face. ***** Zuo Yue didn¡¯t want to go to the washroom at all. She just felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange, so she escaped and ran to the washroom to wash her face with cold water. However, after washing her face, she looked up at herself in the mirror. She recalled the feeling when she couldn¡¯t help but care about Xu Chengfeng. She hoped that he would get better soon. She hoped that he could talk to her. She hoped that she could always sit by his side. It was so strange¡­ And when she had unconsciously leaned into his arms, that inexplicable feeling of being electrocuted¡­ However, his cold voice instantly woke her up. Zuo Yue, what are you thinking? That¡¯s your biological uncle. Even if the difference is only nine years, he¡¯s still your uncle! In your eyes, he shouldn¡¯t be so charming that you can¡¯t help but want to get close to him. He should be your family, your elder, and not the kind of closeness that she shouldn¡¯t have to get close to him. Why did she suddenly want to find a boyfriend to distract herself? Was it because Xu Chengfeng¡¯s charm was too great that she felt that she should find a boyfriend so that she wouldn¡¯t have a picky taste if she wanted to find a boyfriend after following Xu Chengfeng? Or something else? Everything was fine before, but why was it that she had been unable to control herself and wanted to be close to him? It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s just a close relationship between family members, but Zuo Yue, why did you¡­Why did he want to get closer? Are you crazy? She suddenly lowered her head and continued to wash her face with cold water. After washing for a long time, she placed her hands on the sink and looked at the flowing water. Her mind was filled with Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude of deliberately distancing himself from her, as if he had sensed that she was too close to him. She also felt that they were 30,000 feet apart. She took a few deep breaths and tried hard to adjust her state of mind. She reminded herself that that person was her uncle, her uncle, her mother¡¯s biological brother! The closest connection between her and Xu Chengfeng was blood. There would be no more. She had to restrain her closeness and restrain her inexplicable fascination with that man. Perhaps it was really the age to fall in love. When she came back from Los Angeles, perhaps she should talk to Yin Ruisheng and see if she wanted to try dating him temporarily. This way, perhaps she could really wipe away the gradually growing dependence on Xu Chengfeng and the desire to get close to him. After sorting out her emotions, Zuo Yue wiped her face clean and combed her hair again. She turned around and walked out of the bathroom. When she walked out, she happened to see Xu Chengfeng who had already come out of the washroom opposite. He also saw her. Zuo Yue looked away the moment their eyes met. She turned around and quickly ran back to the parking lot outside. Xu Chengfeng stood where he was and looked at the little girl who was frantically avoiding his gaze and then running away again. He did not move his eyes until she got into the car safely. Then, he slowly walked in the same direction. The black Cayenne continued to move, but this time, it was Zuo Yue who was quietly leaning against the leather chair at the back. She did not go to sleep. She turned her head to the window and looked at the scenery that was passing by quickly on the highway. She did not make a sound. Perhaps Xu Chengfeng¡¯s illness was really not serious. After taking medicine and resting for more than an hour, he was much better now. Seeing that she was sitting there quietly, he handed her the thin blanket. Zuo Yue took a look and reached out to take it. She said softly,¡±¡±Thank you.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes paused. He looked at her but did not say anything. At the same time, he turned to look ahead. Ainte was looking back through the rearview mirror with a curious face and mouthed,¡±¡±Is the little girl unhappy?¡± Xu Chengfeng gave him a cold look, warning him to mind his own business. Ainte did not ask much, but he still felt that the atmosphere was better when Zuo Yue was talking non-stop just now. This way, he would not be bored while driving. Now, the little girl suddenly stopped talking and only turned her head to look out the window. It was unknown who she was angry with, but she looked cute and heartbreaking. Seriously, could Big Boss not tell how much the little girl cared about him just now? Why did you throw her good intentions to the ground? Now, the little girl was unhappy. She was obviously aggrieved. Zuo Yue¡¯s temper came and went quickly, and she was only angry with him. She was angry because she did not know when she had started to have feelings for Xu Chengfeng that she should not have. She was a little angry and a little afraid, so she sat there quietly and thought to herself. However, she didn¡¯t know that in the eyes of Xu Chengfeng and Ait, her attitude had turned into grievance and sadness. Because they had driven back to Los Angeles overnight, it was dark outside. The mountains in the distance could not be seen clearly, and only black images flashed in front of their eyes. Gradually, Zuo Yue closed her eyes and fell asleep. After she fell asleep, she let her body lean against the seat and let herself rest. She did not want to think about her uncle anymore. As she fell asleep, she suddenly felt as if she was leaning against a warm place. It was somewhat firm and somewhat soft. In the end, she felt as if she was lying down somewhere. The feeling was very strange. She rubbed her face against that place twice. After falling asleep, her expressionless face suddenly had a sweet smile. She had a dream. She dreamed that she went to Hawaii to play. She dreamed that her uncle drove a yacht and took her surfing on the sea. She dreamed that she fell into the sea and was rescued¡­ She even dreamed that her uncle helped her with CPR¡­ What a strange dream, but she was so happy. Uncle¡¯s lips were so soft. She had accidentally bitten them once after falling down the stairs, and she had bitten them again in her dream. However, the feeling was not as real as that time. It was empty¡­ No! That¡¯s your uncle! Zuo Yue suddenly woke up from her dream. The moment she opened her eyes, she realized that she was still in the car, and the sky outside the window was gradually turning white. It was almost dawn, and they should be arriving in Los Angeles soon. Chapter 954 - Chapter 954: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-His Identity (39) Chapter 954: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-His Identity (39) The touch of his hand instantly woke her up. She was actually lying on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lap. The moment she got up in a hurry, she awkwardly moved her leg to the side.¡±I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t know why I fell asleep.¡± Seeing that she was awake, Xu Chengfeng did not say much. However, he had been under the little girl¡¯s pillow for a few hours. In order not to wake her up, his legs, which he had been holding back and not moving, did feel a little numb. However, he only casually brushed his hand over his legs and said calmly,¡±It¡¯s inevitable that you¡¯ll fall asleep in the car at night. There¡¯s no need to apologize to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking about the matter of me sleeping on your leg¡­¡± Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t continue speaking. The emotions she had before she fell asleep were still lingering in her heart. She pursed her lips. Xu Chengfeng did not say much when he saw her uneasiness. He only looked out of the window calmly at the sky that was gradually becoming brighter after dawn and said softly,¡±We¡¯ll reach the Xu family soon. Do you want to tidy yourself up before going back to the Xu family, or do you want to go back directly?¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and touched her head. It was probably because she had slept in the car for a night. Her face might be a little greedier than usual, and her hair might be messy and needed to be taken care of. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Just go back like this. Anyway, we¡¯re going back to see Grandpa. It¡¯s not a holiday. We don¡¯t need to see too many outsiders.¡±Zuo Yue said, but she still casually tidied her hair. She could look slovenly, but she could not be too messy. Otherwise, her mother would definitely scold her when she went back. Until Zuo Yue took out a cleansing wipe from her bag and wiped her face. As she wiped, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng.¡±Has your fever subsided? Is your cold better? She had only taken a few pills, and she didn¡¯t know if they would work.¡± ¡°Little cold, but I¡¯m fine.¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng replied, still looking at the direction of the sky that was getting whiter and whiter outside the window. He did not look at Zuo Yue, who was wiping her face. Feeling the awkward atmosphere between her and her uncle, Zuo Yue did not say anything. Her uncle was probably deliberately keeping a distance from her, right? After all, she might have been a little too intimate previously. In his eyes, she was still a child. Perhaps he thought that she could not distinguish right from wrong and was impulsive. In order to avoid any unnecessary intimacy and misunderstanding between them, he had already maintained a proper distance from her from now on. As Zuo Yue thought about it, she wiped her face. When her hands unconsciously wiped her cheeks, her cheeks had been rubbed back and forth until they were red. Ainte noticed her absent-minded appearance through the rearview mirror and smiled.¡±Don¡¯t rub it anymore. If you rub it for a while more, your skin will break.¡± Zuo Yue paused. When she came back to her senses, she quickly put down the wet towel in her hand, but she did not say anything else. By the time the black Cayenne arrived in downtown Los Angeles, the sky was already bright. Zuo Yue had almost sorted herself out. She was about to take out her phone to check the time and call her mother to tell her that they would be arriving at the Xu family home soon. Suddenly, the car braked violently and then suddenly turned around. When the brake was turned, Zuo Yue¡¯s hand was thrown to the ground. She fell from the leather chair and onto the car door. Her shoulder was hit hard. She felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. She suddenly looked up in surprise at the people and things that were passing by quickly outside the car. Then, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, whose expression suddenly turned cold. ¡°Boss, we encountered a trap.¡± Ainte said as he quickly turned the car around and drove to another road, accelerating the car. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. It was obvious that he already knew the reason for the sudden situation. However, at the same time, he suddenly looked at Zuo Yue, who was leaning tightly against the car door and seat because of the speed of the car. She wasn¡¯t afraid. She was just thrown into this sitting position by the inertia of the car when it suddenly turned around. Then, she was stunned by Ainte¡¯s words, as if she hadn¡¯t realized what had happened. Grip? What was a clamp? She seemed to see some car chasing them from behind. Was the clip a nickname for a certain type of enemy? Or did it mean something else? Zuo Yuelai was not in a hurry to think about it. He looked at Xu Chengfeng directly and saw that he was sitting there steadily without any change in his expression due to the movement of the car. However, his eyes were looking at her as if he was observing her emotions. Zuo Yue was shocked when she met his eyes. She raised her hand and grabbed the door. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.¡±Yes¡­ Was something dangerous going to happen?¡± She only knew that Xu Chengfeng was related to the underworld. She only knew that other than his identity as the president of the GN Group, his other identity was not safe. However, Xu Chengfeng had only allowed her to come into contact with her true identity. He had no intention of letting her come into contact with his other identity. However, she still knew that he had another identity, so at this moment, other than wanting to confirm if she was in danger, she really did not know what else to ask. Ainte did not expect the little girl to be so calm. The last time he forced her into the car with a gun, her hands were still trembling when she stopped the Boss ¡®bleeding. Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only glanced at Zuo Yue¡¯s forced calm expression and then looked back at the two cars that had been left far behind. ¡°Scared?¡± He looked back at her again, his voice clear and deep. Zuo Yue¡¯s hands grabbed tightly at the side of the car door. His eyes were a little dazed. It was obvious that Xu Chengfeng did not have any nervousness in his eyes. Except for the change in their speed and the direction of the car, everything else was normal. She gritted her teeth and slowly shook her head.¡±¡±I¡¯m not afraid.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was smiling and confirming the authenticity of her words. He looked at her pale fingers on the door and then looked into her eyes.¡±Not afraid?¡± Zuo Yue took a deep breath and nodded.¡±¡±I¡¯m not afraid!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while, then suddenly reached out his hand and moved closer to her. He grabbed her hand that was on the door and slowly pulled it down. He held her hand in his palm, as if to give her courage and comfort. He held her hand and gently opened her palm. Zuo Yue looked at his action in a daze. For a moment, she even forgot that they might be in danger. She just looked at him in a daze. Until Xu Chengfeng held her gradually relaxing hand in his palm and felt his warm fingers caressing the back of her hand, Zuo Yue still could not come back to her senses¡­ Chapter 955 - Chapter 955: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-How Brave (40) Chapter 955: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-How Brave (40) ¡°Brave girl.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was calm, and his hands were still comforting. He only glanced at Ainte after he was sure that she had completely relaxed. His voice was still calm and cold.¡±We¡¯ll take a detour from the Eastern Route. There¡¯s a large police training ground there, so they won¡¯t dare to chase us.¡± Ainte didn¡¯t say anything, but it was obvious that he was completely following Xu Chengfeng¡¯s instructions. He drove the car quickly in the east direction. Although Zuo Yue tried her best to hide her nervousness, her hand was wrapped in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating. However, Xu Chengfeng remained calm as he looked behind the car through the rearview mirror from time to time. He only let go of her hand when the black Cayenne they were in successfully drove to the eastern highway. The way he let go of her hand was a silent signal to her that she was safe. Zuo Yue raised her hand and looked at it. Although her palm was sweaty, she remembered that his palm had been clean all along. There was no sweat at all. Was he not nervous at all? After confirming that the cars were not chasing after them, Ainte relaxed and said with a smile,¡±¡±Miss Zuo, I thought you would be so scared that you would scream non-stop in the car. I didn¡¯t expect you to just shrink to the side and not make a sound. It seems that you¡¯re quite bold.¡± Zuo Yue barely regained her senses and looked up at him with dissatisfaction.¡±¡±How scared am I?¡± ¡°I remember that when I sent you to the bus station to get off, I noticed that your legs were so weak that you almost lost your balance.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± At that time, I was wondering if I had really managed to survive. I was a little confused.¡±¡± ¡°Tsk, stubborn and stubborn, haha.¡±Ayt said as he looked back.¡±It¡¯s fine. Those bastards don¡¯t dare to chase after us. They dare to attack us in downtown Los Angeles.¡± ¡°If those people catch up to us, what will happen?¡±Although she had been restraining her emotions earlier, Zuo Yue felt a little scared now and could not help but ask directly. ¡°Nothing much. We¡¯ll just be skinned and thrown into a pot of oil or something. The simplest way to die is probably to shoot us in the head.¡±As he spoke, Ainte raised his hand and made a shooting gesture with his hand. He was even dubbing. Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned pale and she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng.¡±¡±Really? Is it that dangerous?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but he seemed too lazy to hide this from her, but he did not cooperate with Ait to scare her. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. There won¡¯t be any danger in downtown Los Angeles other than being attacked by cars. Those people have already been left behind, so nothing will happen.¡±Xu Chengfeng said as he picked up the phone that had fallen by his feet and handed it to her. Zuo Yue saw the phone that she had just dropped and quickly picked it up. However, the fingerprint lock at the bottom of the phone automatically opened the moment her hand touched it. At the same time, the phone screen showed the page of the recent call history. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s name was displayed at the top. Behind his name was the English name Ken. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her phone screen. His expression did not change, but he said, When will you add my English name?¡± Zuo Yue felt a little awkward. He was the one who saved his number. At that time, he only saved his name, but she changed it later. Her inexplicable feelings for him seemed to be revealed in an instant. She quickly put away her phone and explained in a low voice,¡±That time, I heard someone call you Ken by chance, and that was when I found out that it was your English name. A few days ago, I was bored at home, so I played with my phone before I went to bed. As I was playing, I added your English name to your name.¡± The little girl¡¯s attempt to cover up made Xu Chengfeng speechless for a while. He just looked at her. Zuo Yue knew what he wanted to say because of his calm but distant gaze. However, he did not say anything in the end. He only glanced at her phone again and did not say anything. He must have thought that she was especially childish and sensitive. She would carefully change his name on the phone and deliberately remember everything about him, including his English name. He would definitely realize that her feelings for him were a little abnormal and would definitely distance himself from her because of this, lest she did something stupid. Zuo Yue carefully hid her phone behind her back until Xu Chengfeng¡¯s phone rang and he picked up the call. She then leaned against the car door and took a look at her phone. At this moment, she was no longer in the mood to call her mother. She put her phone directly into her bag and did not take it out to let him see it. In the blink of an eye, if they took the Eastern Route, the distance back to the Xu family in Los Angeles would be slightly longer, but it would only be half an hour longer than the previous journey. As long as they could ensure their safety, it didn¡¯t matter if they stayed in the car for half an hour. However, ever since she came out of the service area last night, she was shocked to realize that her feelings were a little off off. Therefore, these few hours were a little torturous, and this half an hour was also torturous¡­ Xu Chengfeng took the phone and looked at her.¡±¡±Your mother couldn¡¯t get through to you. She was worried about you, so she called me to see if you were in Los Angeles.¡± ¡°Does my mom know that we drove all night?¡±Zuo Yue looked up. ¡°I told her about the situation before I came back. She knew that I was in a hurry and that we would come back overnight.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue replied with an ¡®oh¡¯ and did not say anything else. The atmosphere was so awkward that even Ainte, who had been focused on driving, was too embarrassed to interrupt. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude remained calm and calm, as if she was the only one who was the most embarrassed. The reason was that she had thoughts that she should not have¡­ Zuo Yue lowered her head a little melancholically, occasionally puffing her cheeks to kill time. ¡°You were very brave in that unknown and dangerous situation just now.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded beside him. Zuo Yue turned to look at him, surprised by his praise. ¡°You clearly know that countless unknown dangers might happen around me, but you still try your best to appear so calm. Aren¡¯t you afraid of death?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gentle question broke her embarrassment. Zuo Yue looked at him for a while. She felt that if she continued to stare at him, she would probably have some thoughts that she shouldn¡¯t have. She quickly shifted her gaze away and turned her head at the same time, saying softly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t have time to be afraid. Moreover, you and Ainte didn¡¯t seem to be very nervous just now, so I don¡¯t think there should be any big problems.¡± Chapter 956 - Chapter 956: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Panic (41) Chapter 956: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Panic (41) ¡°You trust me that much?¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled.¡± Zuo Yue hesitated for a moment, then looked at him and nodded seriously. Seeing her seriousness, Xu Chengfeng curled his lips. Although his smile was faint, Zuo Yue could see that he seemed to be in a good mood because of her answer. However, on the way back to the Xu family, Xu Chengfeng did not say another word to her. Just before they got off the car, Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng worriedly.¡±¡± I haven¡¯t been back to the Xu family for more than a year. I wonder if Grandpa will scold me when he sees me¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Xu Chengfeng replied calmly. ¡± Why not?¡± Zuo Yue looked at him in confusion.¡± Why not?¡±¡± And he seemed to be very certain. ¡°I haven¡¯t been back to the Xu family more than three times in so many years. If he still had the strength to jump out of bed and scold people, the first person he wanted to scold would be me, not you.¡±As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he turned to look outside the window. The black Cayenne had already driven into the Xu family¡¯s residence. There were servants respectfully leading the way on both sides. Zuo Yue was still slightly nervous when they stopped at the Xu family¡¯s private parking lot. After all, the Xu family and the Zuo family had been in Los Angeles for more than a hundred years. However, Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Xu were both stubborn and difficult to deal with. When she was young, she could still talk to her grandfather. When she grew up, she felt that the generation gap had increased. In addition, she was busy with her studies, so she really hadn¡¯t come back for a long time. He had only called Xu Yuan a few days ago to ask about his grandfather¡¯s health. Before Xu Chengfeng got out of the car, he saw that she was still sitting in the car without moving. He looked back at her and suddenly reached out his hand.¡±Aren¡¯t you getting out of the car?¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at him, then at his hand. She passed his hand to him and got out of the car with Xu Chengfeng¡¯s help. A servant came over to greet her, calling her Mr. Xu and Ms. Xu. Yes, she was the granddaughter of Old Master Zuo, so she was Miss Sun in the Zuo family. She was Old Master Xu¡¯s granddaughter, so she could only be the mistress here. She was already used to the rules and titles of address in these Chinese families since she was young. However, she did not expect that when these servants called Xu Chengfeng, they seemed to be very unfamiliar with him. When they called him Mr. Xu, someone would secretly look up at him as if it was the first time they saw him. Ainte was brought by Xu Chengfeng, but he was not a member of the Xu family. Therefore, the servant brought Ainte to rest elsewhere, while Zuo Yue followed Xu Chengfeng to the main hall in front. As she walked, she followed behind him and whispered,¡±¡±Have the servants of the Xu family never seen you before? I feel that although they know of your existence, they look at you as if you are a stranger and curious.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen the new servants in recent years.¡±Xu Chengfeng did not say much. After he got off the car, he walked in this direction with an extremely indifferent expression. However, because Zuo Yue had been following closely, he casually replied. However, Zuo Yue could tell that he was not paying attention to the situation. He did not seem to be in a good mood after returning to the Xu family. If it wasn¡¯t for her mother finding an excuse to ask him to send her back, he probably wouldn¡¯t have come back to see Grandpa even if he was really dying. Zuo Yue was deep in her thoughts as she followed behind Xu Chengfeng. However, he was tall and had long legs. He walked like the wind. She wanted to reach out to grab his sleeve and jog with him, but the moment she raised her hand, she paused and quickly retracted it. In fact, if she really walked in with her uncle holding hands, even if the Xu family saw her, they would only think that their relationship was not bad. She, this little girl, seemed to be very familiar with this uncle. After all, they came back together, so they would definitely not think too much. However, it was awkward for Zuo Yue. Others would not think too much, but she could not reach out her hand. She could only obediently follow behind him, but at the same time maintain a certain distance. After entering the front hall of the Xu family, Xu Yuan happened to walk out from behind. The moment she saw Zuo Yue, she quickly walked over.¡±How is it? You didn¡¯t rest after rushing back all night, right?¡± As she spoke, she looked at Xu Chengfeng again. Xu Chengfeng only glanced at Xu Yuan indifferently and did not look at any place in the front hall of the Xu family. Seeing that he still did not have any extra feelings for the Xu family, Xu Yuan hid a trace of helplessness. She pulled Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and said,¡±¡±Look at you. You must have fallen asleep in the car and didn¡¯t even tidy yourself up. Hurry up and go back to your room to take a shower and change your clothes.¡± ¡°Mom, Uncle said that Grandpa¡¯s illness¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish, Xu Yuan interrupted her,¡±¡±A few days ago, your grandfather was indeed on the verge of death. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment before he stabilized. Although he¡¯s still stable now, your grandfather insisted on returning home and doesn¡¯t want to stay in the hospital. We¡¯ve been so busy that we¡¯re afraid that something will happen again. Right now, we can¡¯t be sure how long your grandfather¡¯s body can last. Maybe he¡¯ll be fine after recovering for a while and can walk again, or maybe¡­¡± At this point, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chengfeng.¡±¡±Chengfeng, when you see Dad, you should soften your attitude and don¡¯t argue with him, okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m only responsible for sending Zuo Yue back. Since I¡¯m back, I have to see her. As for my attitude, you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was neither cold nor warm, and it was impossible to tell his emotions or intentions. Xu Yuan had no choice but to say no more. She turned around and instructed the servants to send him and Zuo Yue to their respective rooms to rest. She also said that Zuo Yue¡¯s grandfather was sleeping at the moment and it was not convenient for him to see them. She would wait until his grandfather woke up. Being in the Xu family, Zuo Yue definitely could not be alone with Xu Chengfeng anymore. However, when she saw that he did not even look at her when he turned around and left, Zuo Yue felt a strange panic. If Xu Chengfeng left the Xu family now, would he never appear in front of her again? As she thought about it, she turned her head from time to time. However, when she turned her head, she saw Xu Yuan¡¯s figure. Xu Yuan was looking in the direction of Xu Chengfeng. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and a sigh, as if she was helpless about the relationship between them. Because her mother was there, Zuo Yue quickly retracted her gaze, afraid that her mother would find out that her relationship with her uncle had progressed too quickly. She was afraid that her mother would come and ask how she was getting along with her uncle. She went back to her bedroom in the Xu family¡¯s house to take a shower. She took out her spare clothes and changed into them. As it was almost winter and the weather was a little cold, she wore a long-sleeved loose sweater and jeans. Chapter 957 - Chapter 957: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-He Will Accompany Her (42) Chapter 957: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-He Will Accompany Her (42) He could hide, but he couldn¡¯t hide. Zuo Yue had just changed her clothes when Xu Yuan entered her room. When she came in and saw Zuo Yue¡¯s clothes, she frowned and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you to dress up like a girl? Why are you wearing such long clothes and long pants like a tomboy? Fortunately, you have long hair. Otherwise, your grandfather would definitely be angry when he sees that you don¡¯t dress up like a girl all day.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± It¡¯s just jeans and a sweater. How does he look like a tomboy?¡± Besides, I left all the girly clothes you bought for me in Boston. I was in a hurry when I came back, so I didn¡¯t bring them back to wear.¡± ¡°Have you forgotten? Your grandfather loved the way you wore dresses when you were young. Since you¡¯re back, let your grandfather be happy. You¡¯ve been disobeying the adults for so many years and have your own temper. I¡¯ll let you be, but not now. I¡¯ll accompany you to buy a dress to wear in the afternoon.¡± ¡°You even want to buy a dress to wear? Is it necessary?¡± Zuo Yue said as she lifted her hand to tie all her hair up, feeling more comfortable like this. Xu Yuan shook her head.¡± The girl next to you is about the same age as you. She wears all kinds of beautiful clothes and dresses every day. She wears all kinds of jewelry and dresses like a goddess. Only you only wear a ponytail every day. You haven¡¯t gone out to get your hair done for so long in Boston?¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and touched her hair.¡±¡±Isn¡¯t this good?¡± Xu Yuan had a headache when it came to this girl who refused to open her shell. She raised her hand and stroked her forehead.¡±Other than visiting your grandfather, you might also meet your Uncle John¡¯s family. Your Uncle John¡¯s son is only two years older than you. He just came back from studying in China Hong Kong. He can speak Chinese and Cantonese now, so he should have some common language with you. You have to talk to him more.¡± Zuo Yue felt that something was amiss as she listened. She suddenly looked at Xu Yuan with a strange expression,¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me the reason why you don¡¯t want me to be my boyfriend is because you want me to be with Uncle John¡¯s¡­¡± She was about to stop talking when she saw Xu Yuan smile. She immediately felt a chill down her spine and rubbed her arms.¡±How can you sell your daughter like this? Am I really your biological son?¡± ¡°What is this child talking about?¡± Xu Yuan was immediately unhappy. I just want you to get to know your Uncle John¡¯s son. You¡¯re only 18 years old. Can I still let you get married? However, your Uncle John is considered a family friend of the Zuo and Xu families. His Little John is about the same age as you. He¡¯s also tall and strong. He has good knowledge and family background. Everything suits you very well. Even if you don¡¯t have that kind of interest in him now, it¡¯s not bad to be friends with him.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Then, if I¡¯m not willing, will you force me to meet him?¡±¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be unhappy about? Your Uncle John and his family are here to visit your grandfather, so I¡¯ll let you talk to them more while you¡¯re at it. You wretched girl, don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. Also, don¡¯t be so insensible.¡± Xu Yuan said as she looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s unhappy expression. Suddenly, she smiled and asked,¡±¡± Anyway, you¡¯re still young and it¡¯s not the time to talk about marriage. I just want you to go and talk.¡± Let¡¯s not talk about this. Tell me, how did it feel to be by your uncle¡¯s side in Boston for more than a month?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± When she heard her mention her uncle, Zuo Yue inexplicably felt a little flustered. The inexplicable feeling of being a thief surprised her. What was she doing? There was clearly nothing between her and her uncle. Why did she have such emotions? ¡°Didn¡¯t you dislike him before? But I saw that you still obediently followed him back. Moreover, when I looked out from the front hall earlier, I saw that you followed behind him. You looked very harmonious. Has the relationship eased a lot? He should be very good to you, right?¡± ¡°Yes, it has eased up a lot.¡± Zuo Yue said with a fake smile,¡± Old man, why don¡¯t you think about it? After freezing my card, I have to ask for pocket money from others even if I have to be thick-skinned. How can this relationship not be eased?¡±¡± ¡°How old are you, girl? Our Zuo family hasn¡¯t completely followed the Westerners ¡®way of educating their children. Otherwise, when you were 14 years old, we would have kicked you out and let you earn money to support yourself.¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not refute. She knew the environment she lived in, and she also knew that her parents had actually indulged her. She could not find fault with this, so she did not say anything more. However, she really didn¡¯t want to talk about her uncle, but Xu Yuan asked,¡±Are you used to living in your uncle¡¯s villa?¡± ¡°.. It¡¯s alright.¡± ¡°Has he gone back to accompany you during this period of time?¡± ¡°Yes, only a few times.¡± Zuo Yue answered truthfully. However, after just a few times, her initial rejection had turned into an inexplicable anticipation and wait. How long had it been? It had only been more than a month. She was really a little resistant to the change in her emotions. She did not dare to think about the subtle thoughts of wanting to get close to Xu Chengfeng. ¡°It¡¯s normal to only go back a few times.¡±Xu Yuan smiled.¡± Your uncle is already twenty-seven, almost twenty-eight. He will definitely have a girlfriend at this age. Even if you are his niece, he still has to spend more time with his girlfriend. It¡¯s already very good that he can give you a few days a month.¡± ¡°Are you so sure that he has a girlfriend?¡± Zuo Yue glanced at her.¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Yuan paused. Isn¡¯t it normal for your uncle to have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Uh, no¡­¡± Zuo Yue suddenly took the initiative to change the topic.¡±¡±Well, I don¡¯t have to wait until the afternoon to go out and buy clothes. I¡¯ll go now. Grandpa isn¡¯t awake yet anyway.¡± As she spoke, she opened the door and walked out. Xu Yuan could not help but scold her for being so impatient when she saw how anxious she was. Zuo Yue had just walked out when she saw Xu Chengfeng coming out of a separate loft not far away. He seemed to be about to go out. She looked around and then looked at him. She did not see anyone beside him. She wanted to keep a distance from him, but just as she was about to turn around, Xu Yuan followed her. When she saw Xu Chengfeng, she smiled and said,¡±Chengfeng, are you going out? That¡¯s great. You can accompany Zuo Yue to buy a dress on the street. I still have to stay at home to do some things.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s footsteps instantly stiffened. When she turned around, she hurriedly said,¡±¡±No need. I grew up in Los Angeles. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m unfamiliar with this place. I can do it myself¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and said in a clear and calm voice,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go.¡± Zuo Yue was surprised that he agreed so easily. She was stunned for a moment and could not say anything. She could only turn around and walk in his direction. Chapter 958 - Chapter 958: Enemies on a Narrow Road (43) Chapter 958: Enemies on a Narrow Road (43) She had wanted to walk behind him and ask him why he had never promised her anything so readily before. Was this because she was in the Xu family and it was her mother¡¯s request? Zuo Yue walked behind Xu Chengfeng. Before she could say anything, Xu Chengfeng looked back at the clothes she was wearing, as if he could not understand why Xu Yuan suddenly asked her to go out and buy a dress. As Xu Yuan was talking to a servant who walked past her, Zuo Yue could not explain to Xu Chengfeng. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Xu Yuan said to the servant beside her and turned to look at them.¡± Chengfeng, Father is awake, but he¡¯s not feeling very well for the time being. I¡¯ll go and take a look. The doctor will be here in a while. You go out with Zuo Yue first and help me look after her. Don¡¯t let her wander around.¡±¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m not a child¡­¡± Zuo Yue muttered. Xu Yuan snorted.¡± Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know you. You¡¯re too familiar with the shopping streets in Los Angeles. You¡¯re so familiar that you can sneak away at any time. I¡¯ll be at ease if your uncle keeps an eye on you.¡± Before Zuo Yue could say anything, Xu Chengfeng glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Still not leaving?¡± ¡°Oh, let¡¯s go then¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat when she met his gaze. She immediately lowered her head and put her hands into the pockets on both sides of her clothes at the same time. She looked very relaxed, but standing behind Xu Chengfeng, she felt a strange pressure. Xu Chengfeng obviously did not notice the change in her mood. He only made sure that her clothes were warm enough to prevent her from catching a cold when she went out later. Then, he walked out without greeting anyone in the Xu family. Zuo Yue jogged behind him. When she saw him driving, she sat in the front passenger seat and asked,¡±¡±Where did Ainte go?¡± ¡°He has his own things to do.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s indifferent words made her swallow the question that was on the tip of her tongue. Zuo Yue did not say anything else until Xu Chengfeng drove her out of the Xu family¡¯s house. She glanced out of the car window and peeked at the man beside her from the corner of her eye. Seeing that his lips were still a little pale, she couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±¡±Uncle, if you haven¡¯t recovered from your cold, come out with me. If you really can¡¯t do it, park the car in front and find a place to sleep. I¡¯ll go shopping by myself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Xu Chengfeng held the steering wheel steadily as he spoke. At the same time, he glanced at her.¡±There¡¯s nothing wrong with your clothes. Why do you suddenly want to go out and buy a dress?¡± ¡°Go ask my mom. Women who go through menopause are too scary. No decision can be disobeyed.¡±Zuo Yue grumbled. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. His eyes were noncommittal, but he did not say anything else. At the same time, he sped up, not intending to waste any more time on the road. When they arrived at the commercial street, Zuo Yue looked at the pedestrian street inside and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll go buy it myself. You rest in the car for a while and wait for me. I¡¯ll buy one and take it back immediately.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not seem to intend to accompany her all the time. He only unlocked the main control lock in the car and allowed her to open the door and get out of the car. Zuo Yue got out of the car, turned around, and walked quickly to the pedestrian street. She really did not like to wear dresses. The reason why she only wore student dresses every day in Boston was because she really did not like the clothes that Xu Yuan bought for her. Therefore, she would rather wear student dresses to show off than wear them so delicately. Perhaps it was because she had met a weirdo who liked to wear dresses and dressed like a little princess every day when she was young, so she really had a strong resistance to those dresses. When she walked to a haute couture store, she glanced at the designer¡¯s name and vaguely remembered that the famous designer had once made all kinds of gowns for a Hollywood star. Then she would go in and see if there were any dresses suitable for her in this designer¡¯s shop. Zuo Yue walked in that direction and looked back in the direction of the pedestrian street. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s car was parked in the parking lot on the pedestrian street and did not leave. It looked like it had been turned off. Today was not the weekend. Although there were many people on the street, it was not as noisy. He should be able to rest for a while. He probably didn¡¯t have time to rest when he was at the Xu family¡¯s house just now. After returning to the Zuo family¡¯s house, he would have to see his grandfather. He probably didn¡¯t have time to rest either. She would shop around a little longer and give him more time to rest. Zuo Yue walked into the shop as she thought about it. She had seen a beige dress in the window just now. It was very unique. After she walked in, she was about to ask if the beige dress was for sale. However, as soon as she entered, she suddenly saw a young man and woman walking out. She did not recognize the tall man, but she recognized the cute and dainty woman even if she turned into ashes. The woman also saw Zuo Yue entering the room at once. She immediately smiled at her as if she had discovered something new.¡±Zuo Yue? Long time no see. Why are you here? Are you here to try on the gown because you¡¯re getting engaged?¡± The girl in front of him was a Chinese girl who grew up with Zuo Yue. Her name was Lian Keying. She liked all kinds of dresses and princess-like outfits since she was young. She was full of femininity. It was fine if it was just this, but she was the weirdo that left a shadow in Zuo Yue¡¯s childhood memories. Although Lian Keying¡¯s family wasn¡¯t as big as the Zuo family and was just an ordinary Chinese child who did business in the United States, she liked to snatch things from a young age and liked to show off in front of others. Zuo Yue was unlucky enough to be with her from kindergarten to primary school to middle school. Because Zuo Yue was a little stubborn and did not like to show off in front of others, Lian Keying always played a role by her side. Sometimes, the teacher could not help but ask her to learn from Lian Keying and learn her character. She even said that Lian Keying had been beautiful and cute since she was young. Zuo Yue did not think much of it, but Lian Keying was used to stealing the limelight. She even fell down the stairs because she did not want to participate in the sports meet. In order not to let the teacher suspect that she did not want to attend the An family¡¯s sports meet, she insisted that Zuo Yue pushed her and pushed the responsibility of her not being able to participate in the sports meet to Zuo Yue. Lian Keying¡¯s parents had a small project with Zuo Corporation, so Lian Keying had gone to the Zuo family when she was young. What Lian Keying had done in the Zuo family made Zuo Yue avoid her even more. When she saw Zuo Yue¡¯s little doll, jewelry, and many cute little things, she would look for the adults with a pitiful face and tell them that she liked those things. Her grandfather was also an old stubborn person. He felt that since the child liked these little things, it was fine for him to take them. Therefore, regardless of whether Zuo Yue was happy or not, Lian Ke Ying would take away those little things that she liked with her grandfather¡¯s support. Chapter 959 - Chapter 959: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-No Boyfriend (44) Chapter 959: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-No Boyfriend (44) As they grew up, the Lian family¡¯s business gradually declined, and they had little contact with the Zuo family. However, at a middle school class gathering, Lian Keying secretly drugged Zuo Yue¡¯s drink. Fortunately, Zuo Yue discovered it early and only took two sips without any problems. Otherwise, something might not have happened that day. After the incident, Lian Keying innocently said that it was just a joke. She even said that a certain boy had liked Zuo Yue for many years and was only helping that man pursue her. Did he have to drug her to pursue her? Are you sure you don¡¯t want her to fool around with men at such a young age so that she can brag about her ¡°dark history¡± everywhere? Zuo Yue had been deeply annoyed by that delicate girl Lian Keying since she was young. After that incident, she had directly shed all pretense of cordiality with her and never contacted her again. Later on, Lian Keying came to her several times to beg for her forgiveness and even said that she would not go overboard in the future. Although Zuo Yue could not be bothered with her, she still gave her a chance to continue being friends. In the past, she thought that if she could not afford to offend her, she could still hide. There was no need for their relationship to be so tense. However, she did not expect that this would give Lian Keying a chance to take advantage of it. The Lian family did not have much status, so Lian Keying liked to be with Zuo Yue. When Zuo Yue was sixteen years old, she was invited to attend a charity party organized by the upper-class people in Los Angeles for young people. Because she was the only one attending, Lian Keying begged her to go and play. Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t persuade her, and Lian Keying kept wiping her tears and saying that the Lian family¡¯s business was getting worse and worse. She was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t be able to marry into a good family in the future, so she wanted to follow her to attend more gatherings like this to meet some people and expand her social circle. Although Zuo Yue was not willing, her personality was still a little immature at that time. She did not know how to refuse at all, so she brought her along. It was because of that charity dinner that she finally saw Lian Keying¡¯s true colors. Lian Ke Ying wore the best and most expensive princess dress in history to attend the banquet. Zuo Yue, who was only wearing a very ordinary dress, looked like a follower. Lian Ke Ying specially dressed herself up to be shiny. No matter how beautiful Zuo Yue was, she still looked like a follower. The main thing was that she was just going to attend it casually. She had never thought about dressing up. Even though many people knew that Zuo Yue was Miss Sun of the Zuo family and knew that her status was not ordinary, they still could not help but ask about their relationship when they saw Lian Keying. Lian Keying told those people that Zuo Yue was too timid to attend such a young bachelor¡¯s party alone, so she dragged her along. At that time, everyone was dressed up, only Zuo Yue was dressed very casually. Lian Keying told everyone that she had long advised Zuo Yue to change her taste, but she did not listen. She even said that she was Zuo Yue¡¯s best friend, but she worried a lot for Zuo Yue every day. She even told those young men who had a good impression of the taciturn Zuo Yue that a young lady like Zuo Yue looked down on such banquets. She did not really want to attend such banquets, nor did she want to interact too much with the people at the banquet. Of course, Zuo Yue did not hear these outrageous words because she had gone to the washroom. What exactly did Lian Keying say that caused those people to look at her with all kinds of strange eyes, and even some young men who originally had a good impression of her avoided her. She still didn¡¯t know the whole content. She only knew that Lian Keying had said a lot of bad things about her at that time. She only knew that a kind-hearted person had reminded her later that her best friend had been using all kinds of ¡± dark history ¡± of Miss Sun of the Zuo family to raise her status in the hearts of those people and to attract more attention to her. Ninety-nine percent of the so-called dark history was fabricated, but it became a joke for everyone that night. Zuo Yue had been very stubborn since she was young. She did not like to explain when she encountered something, and she was indeed too lazy to attend such banquets. Later, Lian Keying still wanted to find her, thinking that Zuo Yue did not know what happened at the banquet that night. However, Zuo Yue never saw her again. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the Lian family had some friendship with the Zuo family, Zuo Yue would have slapped her long ago. Due to her grandfather¡¯s temper and the two families ¡®reputation, Zuo Yue chose to stay away from this god of plague and completely turned a blind eye to it. However, because of this ¡± cold war ¡± for two whole years, Lian Keying tried to beg for her forgiveness at the beginning until she gradually became an invisible enemy. Zuo Yue was also surprised to see Lian Keying here today. What surprised her even more was the tall man beside Lian Keying. He looked less than thirty years old. From his clothes, he seemed to be a rich man. So Lian Keying had finally achieved her goal. Before she turned eighteen, she had found a rich man who could support her for the rest of her life? After all, she had just heard the keywords engagement and gown. Zuo Yue glanced at Lian Keying without batting an eyelid and lightly curled her lips.¡±¡±Yes, long time no see, Miss Lian.¡± Hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s unfamiliar way of addressing her, Lian Keying looked at her for a while before she suddenly smiled. She then turned around and whispered something to the tall man beside her. The man immediately looked at Zuo Yue with a strange expression, as if he thought she was a weirdo. Zuo Yue¡¯s cold gaze met the man¡¯s.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Did your fianc¨¦e tell you some stories about me to lighten the atmosphere between you two? What did she say just now? Why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± Unexpectedly, after two years of not seeing each other, Zuo Yue, who used to be quiet, seemed to have become much sharper than before. Lian Keying glanced at her and said with a smile,¡±Zuo Yue, we were just joking. Don¡¯t take it seriously. Actually, I didn¡¯t say much. I just mentioned the things that you always complained to me about back then.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s instincts told her that something was wrong, so she did not go along with her words. However, Zuo Yue remembered that she had never complained about anything to her. Lian Keying saw that Zuo Yue did not reply, so she continued to talk to herself,¡±¡±You¡¯re already eighteen years old. Why don¡¯t you see any decent men around you? My boyfriend is a tycoon from a Wall Street financial company. We met on a cruise and are now getting engaged. We will have a wedding in two years.¡± As Lian Keying spoke, she looked at Zuo Yue proudly and proudly. Her eyes were full of arrogance and her voice was still full of mockery,¡±¡±But Zuo Yue, you don¡¯t have a boyfriend, and you didn¡¯t come here with anyone else. Why did you come here alone? Could it be that your Zuo family wants to marry you to some old man for a political marriage? I heard that rich people like you guys like to sell your daughters.¡± Chapter 960 - Chapter 960: Chengfeng Asks Yue-Uncle, Boyfriend (45) Chapter 960: Chengfeng Asks Yue-Uncle, Boyfriend (45) Lian Keying laughed again as she spoke.¡±Looks like my guess is right. You¡¯re here to choose a gown because you¡¯re about to be married to some old man, right? Coincidentally, my fianc¨¦ and I just saw a very beautiful dress. It¡¯s a pity that the chest area is too small for me to wear. Why don¡¯t you try that one?¡± Zuo Yue looked at Lian Keying coldly.¡±¡±Thanks, but there¡¯s no need. I¡¯m here to buy a dress, not a gown.¡± The smile in Lian Keying¡¯s eyes gradually disappeared. After looking at Zuo Yue¡¯s clothes, there was a faint hint of anger in her eyes. Even though Zuo Yue was standing here and being ridiculed by her, her unchanging attitude made the staff standing beside her feel that she was too tolerant. If it were them, they would have slapped her a few times and scratched her face. However, this young lady was still so calm after hearing these words. She really had the patience of a god! In fact, it was not that Zuo Yue could tolerate it. It was just that she knew Lian Keying¡¯s personality too well. She knew that Lian Keying had been jealous of her since she was young and had endless strength to tear her apart. The more such a person cared about her, the higher she would jump. Moreover, because of her grandfather¡¯s oppressive upbringing, she had to avoid everything and endure it. As long as it did not violate her principles, she should not quarrel with others outside. It was fine as long as she knew what was going on. It was because of this kind of education that Zuo Yue, who was usually carefree, was very calm when she met people like Lian Keying. When she was young, she indulged him because her personality had not yet fully formed, and she was too trusting. As for now¡­ Zuo Yuedan looked at the fire in Lian Keying¡¯s eyes and smiled lightly again,¡±¡±I wonder how many dresses Miss Lian has prepared for the engagement?¡± ¡°Three sets.¡± Lian Keying replied unhappily. Lian Keying had already understood the meaning behind Zuo Yue¡¯s words because of Zuo Yue¡¯s indifferent words just now. Therefore, she was so jealous that she kept burning in her heart. After all, she only had the chance to come here to order a few high-end dresses for important occasions like engagement and marriage. This was enough for her to show off for a long time. However, this Zuo Yue, who had been shining with the halo of Miss Sun of the Zuo family since she was young, actually came here to pick a dress to wear. It was not for a certain occasion, nor was it for a banquet. From her tone, it was obvious that the clothes in this place were just her daily dress. How could this not anger Lian Keying? When did this Zuo Yue have this ability? In the past, she was either too lazy to talk, but now she actually learned to choke when she spoke. ¡°Three sets?¡± Zuo Yue looked at her with a faint smile, then turned to look at the shop assistant beside her.¡± Is there a dress that fits me? It¡¯s just an ordinary dress. It doesn¡¯t have to be too exaggerated. The most important thing is that it suits me. I¡¯m in a hurry, so I don¡¯t want to order it custom-made.¡± The shop assistant looked at her and hesitated for a moment. Zuo Yue took out a black card and handed it to the shop assistant. When the shop assistant saw the unlimited black card, her eyes immediately lit up and she quickly nodded.¡±Yes, Miss. Please follow me.¡± Even Keying¡¯s eyes almost popped out when she saw the black card in her hand. Didn¡¯t the Zuo family always restrict Zuo Yue from spending money? Zuo Yue had been thrifty since she was young and looked no different from a child from an ordinary family. Other than the fact that she was qualified to participate in various activities and banquets of the upper class and some differences between classes, it was impossible for her to have such a card. Now that she had grown up, the Zuo family no longer restricted her so much? Zuo Yue was too lazy to care about the jealousy in Lian Keying¡¯s eyes. She turned around and followed the shop assistant inside to try on the clothes. That black card was given to her by Xu Chengfeng, not the Zuo family. However, it was equally powerful here. For someone who had been jealous of her since she was young, she did not need to do anything deliberately. As long as her words and actions were in line with her identity, it was enough to make Lian Keying hide in the fire from head to toe. That was enough. ¡°Darling, what¡¯s wrong? Wasn¡¯t that your classmate just now?¡±The man beside Lian Keying asked with concern when he saw her stomping her feet angrily. Lian Keying was so angry that she stuffed the bag of gowns into his arms. She refused to leave and turned around to sit on the sofa. She wanted to see what kind of gown Zuo Yue, who used to have a chest as flat as an airport, could wear! The reason why he could shine brightly beside Zuo Yue when he was young was because his body, appearance, and skin were comparable to Zuo Yue¡¯s ugly duckling. Zuo Yue was thinner when she was young, and even when she was sixteen, her figure was still average. Although Zuo Yue looked much prettier than before, Lian Keying still had absolute confidence that she could beat her in terms of figure. She didn¡¯t believe that she couldn¡¯t regain her face here today! Zuo Yue was trying on clothes inside. Because of the matter of Lian Ke Ying, she had forgotten about the time. After trying on a few sets of dresses, she finally put on the dress that she saw in the kitchen. She did not expect it to be so suitable as if it was tailor-made for her. ¡± Miss Zuo, when I saw you wearing loose clothes earlier, it didn¡¯t show off your figure. I didn¡¯t expect you to look so good in such a dress that shows off your figure. Moreover, your figure is much better than that Miss Lian¡¯s¡­¡± Zuo Yue smiled disapprovingly when she heard the shop assistant¡¯s praise. She had never put Lian Keying in her eyes. When had she ever wanted to compete with her? However, since Lian Keying liked to slap people in the face, he might as well play with her since he had seen her today. Zuo Yue tidied up her dress in front of the mirror and felt very satisfied. Then, she let her hair down and draped it over her shoulders. The shop assistant beside her immediately sighed in surprise. Zuo Yue turned around and walked out of the fitting room. As she walked down the marble stairs, the man beside Lian Keying looked at her in amazement. Lian Keying looked at Zuo Yue, who had a slim figure, in disbelief. Her hands gripped the edge of the sofa tightly, her nails almost breaking. It was only when Zuo Yue walked down and walked past her as if she was not paying attention that she went to the mirror at the side. Lian Keying said coldly,¡±¡±What¡¯s the use of dressing so well? There¡¯s no decent man by my side. Sooner or later, I¡¯ll be married to the old man.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s back paused and she suddenly turned around to look at Lian Keying. Lian Keying also raised her eyebrows and glared at her provocatively. Just as Zuo Yue was about to walk over to her, a figure suddenly walked past the shop¡¯s entrance until the person outside the door walked in. When the tall and straight figure entered the door, it instantly attracted the attention of all the women, including Zuo Yue. She could not help but turn her head. Xu Chengfeng walked through the door, as if he did not see anyone else¡¯s gaze, and directly walked in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. Chapter 961 - Chapter 961: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Torturing a Slut-No Mercy (46) Chapter 961: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Torturing a Slut-No Mercy (46) Xu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment when he saw Zuo Yue¡¯s attire, but it was only for a moment before he returned to his calm expression. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would only come in and buy a dress? Why did it take so long? I waited for you for an entire hour.¡± As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he had already walked up to her and looked at the off-white dress she was wearing. His eyes were filled with satisfaction and surprise.¡±Not bad. It¡¯s rare for you to look like a woman.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Big brother, don¡¯t you know what kind of occasion this is? You actually have the mood to ridicule me? Of course, Xu Chengfeng quickly noticed the fiery gaze beside him. He only sized up Zuo Yue a few more times before he turned to look at the other girl sitting on the sofa beside him. When Lian Keying saw Xu Chengfeng walk in, she was already stunned. Then, she heard his teasing words. He seemed to be very familiar and intimate with Zuo Yue. She frowned secretly. When Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze fell on her, Lian Keying stood up and asked,¡±¡±Who are you?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze swept across her face, but he suddenly felt Zuo Yue gently tugging at the sleeve of his suit. Sensing Zuo Yue¡¯s hand movement, Xu Chengfeng thought that Zuo Yue had something important to say to him, so he directly turned slightly to approach Zuo Yue. In the end, the moment he approached, Zuo Yue, who had not intended to involve Xu Chengfeng, suddenly put her hand in the crook of his arm. When he slightly raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her, the action of holding his arm became even more intimate, as if she was afraid that he would shake it off. Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes flashed with a hint of pleading, but she did not want to be discovered by Lian Keying¡¯s sensitive senses. Her pleading was only for a moment, and she naturally held his hand intimately. She turned to look at Lian Keying.¡±This is my boyfriend.¡± Zuo Yue clearly felt Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm stiffen for a moment, but her hand quietly pinched his arm, reminding him not to embarrass her here and asking him to cooperate with her. However, she did not know if he would cooperate with her. Zuo Yue was a little worried, but since it had already come to this point, she could not step down from the stage, so she held his hand and leaned closer to his arm. She smiled and looked at Lian Keying, whose eyes were filled with disbelief.¡±Miss Lian, I almost forgot to wish you a happy engagement just now. I still have something to do and am in a hurry, so I asked my boyfriend to send me here to buy some suitable clothes. I asked him to wait for me outside just now, but I didn¡¯t expect him to forget the time while chatting. He was worried about me, so he came straight to me.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned faintly. He had obviously heard the little trick between Zuo Yue and the girl who looked about the same age. He did not want to participate in this kind of dispute between young ladies, nor did he have the intention to cooperate with her childish behavior. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s hand had been holding onto him tightly. Just as he made a move, her finger quietly pinched him. Xu Chengfeng pursed his lips and said nothing, but it was hard to tell whether he was cooperating or not. However, in Lian Ke¡¯s eyes, she only saw a cold man in front of her. He was handsome and tall. He was definitely the type who looked thin in clothes and fat in clothes. More importantly, the watch he was wearing was a limited edition watch from the world¡¯s top brands! More importantly, although the brand of the suit and shirt he was wearing could not be seen, it could be seen from the material that they were definitely of the highest quality. This man¡¯s identity was definitely not ordinary. Lian Keying¡¯s eyes were burning with jealousy. She was not convinced that Zuo Yue not only had a good family background and good looks, but she could also find such a good man. She immediately used the tricks she used when she was young to fabricate lies and said,¡±Zuo Yue, you¡¯re really something. You didn¡¯t even tell me in advance that you found such a good boyfriend. You always complained to me in the past, saying that you were afraid that after that incident, you would be despised by men and would not be able to get married. Now, haven¡¯t you found such a perfect man? Therefore, you must have confidence in yourself!¡± When Lian Keying said this, the surrounding shop assistants looked at them in disbelief, then at Lian Keying. This woman¡¯s words were a little too vicious. If Miss Zuo¡¯s boyfriend heard such inexplicable words, then¡­ Xu Chengfeng clearly heard it, but he remained calm. He only glanced at Lian Keying, who had a little smug look in her eyes. Realizing that the handsome man in front of her was looking at her, perhaps because he believed her words, his trust in Zuo Yue changed. Lian Keying said with a smile,¡±¡±Aiya, Zuo Yue, I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve always been a blabbermouth. I really shouldn¡¯t have told your boyfriend about your past!¡± ¡± Aiya, I suddenly remembered. Zuo Yue, didn¡¯t you have many boyfriends when you were fifteen? You even said that you were just playing with those men. You¡¯re still young and don¡¯t plan to get married, so you¡¯re just playing with a few more men¡­At that time, I really admired you. I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a great boyfriend now. This time, you¡¯re not just fooling around, right?¡± Lian Keying¡¯s words were getting more and more outrageous. Her fianc¨¦, who was beside her, could not bear to listen anymore. He felt that the man who had not spoken but had a cold expression in front of him seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He could not remember where he had seen him before, but he felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. That man stood beside Lian Keying and whispered,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you just say that Miss Zuo doesn¡¯t have a boyfriend? Why now¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Lian Keying immediately turned her head away with a cold face. Although the man¡¯s voice was very soft, Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng heard it clearly. Zuo Yue knew that Xu Chengfeng was already giving her face by not ditching her. Of course, she did not expect him to use such a deceptive method to protect her in front of a little girl like Lian Keying. Zuo Yue could only smile calmly and say,¡±¡±Miss Lian, your fianc¨¦¡¯s memory is better than yours. She had forgotten everything she had said half an hour ago.¡± Lian Keying glared at her fianc¨¦ fiercely and turned to Zuo Yue at the same time. Just as she was about to say something, Zuo Yue smiled and continued,¡±¡±Miss Lian, how is your body? Are you feeling better? Can you have children in the future?¡± ¡°What body?¡± Lian Keying¡¯s expression froze. What child? I¡¯m only 18 years old and I¡¯m still a child. What are you talking about?¡± Chapter 962 - Chapter 962: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-Her Man (47) Chapter 962: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-Her Man (47) ¡°Just now, I said that your memory was bad. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so bad.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head and said,¡±Have you forgotten what happened when you were sixteen?¡± You messed around with a few men and got pregnant. Then, you bled. I was the one who sent you to the hospital overnight!¡± Lian Keying¡¯s expression instantly changed. She opened her mouth to explain, but her fianc¨¦, who was standing beside her, had a dark expression on his face. Even in the United States, this kind of premarital behavior was not excessive, but he did not seem to have expected her to have such a past. ¡°The doctor said that you had a massive hemorrhage because of a miscarriage or something. I don¡¯t understand either. I just remember that they said that you might not be able to have another child in the future. They even said that there was something wrong with your uterus. Also, you were infected with something. It seems that one of your men also had that disease. You were infected when you were doing that¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, stop slandering me! When have I ever messed around with a man! When have I ever had a miscarriage?¡±Lian Keying was instantly enraged. Zuo Yue chuckled and did not say anything else. She had to give herself a taste of her own medicine. After the effect was achieved, they could quarrel if they wanted to. They had already fought to this extent. If they did not quarrel, it would be too much of a waste to Lian Keying¡¯s already distorted face. ¡°Zuo Yue, you better explain clearly, you¡­¡± Lian Keying was about to go forward and grab Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist, but Xu Chengfeng, who had been quietly being held by Zuo Yue like a prop, raised his hand and blocked her hand. This man actually defended Zuo Yue, and her fianc¨¦ was already standing at the side with an ugly expression. Lian Keying¡¯s eyes were red with anger. Just as she was about to scold something, Xu Chengfeng shielded Zuo Yue behind him and looked at Lian Keying indifferently. His voice was neither cold nor indifferent as he said,¡±¡±Two little girls who haven¡¯t even reached the age of twenty casually joked and quarreled. No one would take it seriously. It¡¯s fine if they quarreled a little, but did you take it seriously?¡± Lian Keying¡¯s expression froze and she was speechless for a moment. She could only look at the man in front of her in shock. He had been silent all this while, but now, the moment he opened his mouth, he immediately shut her up. Zuo Yue did not expect Xu Chengfeng to turn the tables with just one sentence. With just one sentence, Lian Keying¡¯s slander towards her was erased and turned into a joke between the two little girls. With just one sentence, Zuo Yue¡¯s innocence and Lian Keying¡¯s shrew behavior that was about to be carried out because she could not take a joke had been achieved. Everyone was watching from the side and kept pointing at Lian Keying. Lian Keying could not keep her face up and glared at Zuo Yue with a pair of vicious eyes. Zuo Yue also looked at her after regaining her senses. She gave Lian Keying a faint smile, and there was a small hint of victory in her eyes. Lian Keying, this woman, had been a slut since she was young. Zuo Yue had never thought that the first victory between them was actually because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s help. Even though he hadn¡¯t said anything just now, even though it had been so long, he had only said this one sentence. However, this sentence was enough to save her from trouble. It also proved that he believed that even Ke Ying¡¯s words were just slander. For a moment, Zuo Yueqing felt a little hot in her heart. It was an inexplicable heat. Even her eyes were hot. On the other side, Lian Keying had already walked out of the ready-to-wear design shop arguing with her fianc¨¦. Zuo Yue had yet to come back to her senses when she heard a deep voice beside her,¡±¡±Take your hands off me.¡± Zuo Yue immediately pulled her hand out of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm as if she had been electrocuted. For a moment, she was so embarrassed that she did not know how to react. She turned to look at him. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say. After a long time, he could only say stiffly,¡±Thank you.¡± However, Xu Chengfeng looked at her as if nothing had happened. He had to admit that Zuo Yue was a good-looking girl. Usually, she was just too lazy to dress up. If she really changed into suitable clothes, she would be a beauty. However, this girl was indeed too worrisome. She would have problems wherever she went. Under Xu Chengfeng¡¯s somewhat cold gaze, Zuo Yue was speechless. The shop assistant beside her saw that the farce had ended and walked over to say politely,¡±¡±Miss Zuo, are you sure you want this dress? Do you want me to wrap it up for you, or do you want me to just wear it?¡± Zuo Yue came back to her senses and looked at the weather outside.¡±¡±Pack it up. I¡¯ll go up and change my clothes.¡± ¡°Alright, Miss. This way please.¡± Zuo Yue followed the shop assistant back upstairs to change her clothes. She did not really buy a few sets and only bought this one set. In the end, she walked down with the shopping bags in her hands and saw Xu Chengfeng still standing nearby, as if he was waiting for her. Zuo Yue thought about what happened just now. How did she manage to lift her hand and place it on his arm? Where did she get the courage to lie about her uncle being her boyfriend in front of others? Xu Chengfeng was probably getting more and more annoyed with her because of her childish and shocking actions. Zuo Yue walked over with a dark expression on her face. After she walked behind him, she whispered like a mosquito,¡±¡±Uncle, I¡­ I¡¯m done¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked back at her and saw that she had changed back into her original clothes. Her hair had also been tied up again, as if the girl who was wearing a dress and standing beside him with her hair scattered like an elf had completely disappeared. He stared at her for a moment before glancing at the shopping bag in her hand.¡±Have you paid?¡± ¡°Yes, I paid with your card. It¡¯s a little expensive¡­Is it okay?¡± Zuo Yue whispered. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but it was obvious that he did not take such a small matter to heart. He only frowned because of her sudden submissive attitude, but it was only for a moment before he walked past her expressionlessly. Zuo Yue followed behind him and walked out. When she reached the door, she saw that Lian Keying and her fianc¨¦ were still arguing outside the door. The dress bag in her hand had also been thrown to the ground. Seeing that Lian Keying was still there, Zuo Yue instinctively raised his hand to grab Xu Chengfeng¡¯s sleeve, but it was only his sleeve. However, if the two of them walked out expressionlessly one after another, Lian Keying would definitely suspect something if she saw them¡­ But his uncle¡¯s attitude was¡­ Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had suddenly stopped in his tracks. She carefully tugged at his sleeve with a pleading look in her eyes. Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the door and did not move. His cold eyes looked at the man and woman who were quarreling outside. The arrogant attitude of Lian Keying when she deliberately framed Zuo Yue and insulted Zuo Yue echoed in his ears. She also seemed to be used to Zuo Yue¡¯s silence and forbearance, and became more and more presumptuous. Chapter 963 - Chapter 963: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Giving Your Body to Me (48) Chapter 963: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Giving Your Body to Me (48) Zuo Yue did not know what Xu Chengfeng was thinking, but she could feel that he did not like her using the method just now. Perhaps he felt bored and childish, or perhaps he felt that it was not suitable because of their relationship. No matter what, he would definitely not cooperate a second time. Just as she gave up on acting after she left the house and slowly moved her hand away from his sleeve, she suddenly felt a grip on her hand. She froze and looked up, only to see that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand had already grabbed hers and placed her hand directly in his arm. Zuo Yue looked at her in shock. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression had not changed and his eyes were looking outside calmly, she said coldly,¡±¡±Just this once. Don¡¯t do it again.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly turned hot. She could no longer ignore the feeling of being filled with something warm in her heart. She just nodded her head forcefully. She used more force and her hand held his hand tightly, moving closer to his side. When the two of them walked out, Lian Keying was still arguing with her fianc¨¦. When she saw Zuo Yue walking out and seeing that she and her tall and handsome boyfriend were really in love, Lian Keying was so angry that she directly vented all her anger on her fianc¨¦. He was still her fianc¨¦ now, but who knew what would happen tomorrow? Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze did not fall on them either. She and Xu Chengfeng walked away arm in arm like a couple in love. When they were walking on the pedestrian street, Zuo Yue smiled as she walked, her eyes filled with joy. When they reached the car parked on the pedestrian street, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡±¡±How long do you want to hold it?¡± Zuo Yue paused and quickly removed her hand from his arm. She took a step back and looked at his back with a red face and embarrassment. She nodded and bowed again and said,¡±¡±Thank you! Thank you! Uncle, I can¡¯t repay your kindness. Otherwise, I¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need you to repay me, and don¡¯t say anything about marrying me. I can¡¯t do things that violate human relations.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold and indifferent voice instantly poured a bucket of cold water on Zuo Yue¡¯s excited head, immediately extinguishing all her excitement. Zuo Yue stood outside the car door in a daze as she watched Xu Chengfeng walk around the car and open the door to get in. She almost said the words ¡®devote my life to you,¡¯ but it was just a joke. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words of violating human relations still shocked her. Was he reminding her of something? Or was he just joking with her? After all, he had indeed taken the initiative to cooperate with her. Although his attitude was still lukewarm, at least it proved that he was not a cold person in his heart. At least, he still wanted to protect her and care about her. He did not want her to be hurt or bullied by others. It was just a joke¡­ It must be a joke¡­ Zuo Yue had been brewing her emotions for a long time before she sat in the car. When she closed the door, she felt that the atmosphere in the car was different from before. She quietly turned her eyes and saw Xu Chengfeng rubbing the space between his eyebrows. She remembered that he had a cold and had not rested much last night. He had accompanied her here to buy things and had not rested since then. ¡°Uncle, are you tired? Why don¡¯t I drive? I got my driver¡¯s license last year. Although I don¡¯t have much practical driving experience, it¡¯s not bad. I can drive the car back to the Xu family safely.¡±Zuo Yue said. Xu Chengfeng put down his hand and looked at her with a lukewarm gaze.¡±¡±No need. Fasten your seatbelt.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything more when she saw his refusal. She obediently fastened her seatbelt and placed the shopping bag in her hand behind her. When the car left the vicinity of the commercial street, Zuo Yue had already walked out of her uncomfortable mood. Actually, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words had reminded her of something. It also made her feel that perhaps her recent emotions had not escalated to such a serious level. It was just that she felt that he was good, so she could not help but rely on him. In addition, she had always liked to look at good-looking men. She was infatuated with good-looking men and blushed. Other than being her uncle, he was also an exceptionally good-looking man. There was nothing wrong with her blushing and her heart beating in front of him, but it should not be raised to the aspect of human ethics. After gradually relieving herself of some of the pressure in her heart, Zuo Yue¡¯s mood and expression also relaxed a lot. She smiled and turned to look at the man beside her. She saw that although Xu Chengfeng¡¯s mental state was not as usual, he was still very calm when driving, giving her a sense of security. ¡°Do you really dislike going back to the Xu family? You didn¡¯t smile at all after you came back today.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the road in front of him as he drove. After a while, he turned to look at her.¡±I thought you knew the situation between me and the Xu family.¡± ¡°I only know that when you were just born, you seemed to have been taken in by the wrong person in the hospital. You lived in Russia for more than ten years, and after you were recognized by the Xu family, although you accepted this identity, you never came back.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him as she spoke.¡± Uncle, I don¡¯t really understand how you feel. But I know that it¡¯s normal for you to not be close to the Xu family. However, Grandpa is old. When he was young, he also felt regret because he did something wrong¡­¡± ¡°What he did wrong wasn¡¯t just the wrong thing.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was light, but he did not continue after saying that. He did not seem to want to talk too much about him. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t say anything else, but seeing him drive and sitting beside him made her feel at ease. She smiled.¡±¡±Then, after you meet Grandpa, before we go back to Boston, I¡¯ll accompany you for a walk in Los Angeles. Are you not familiar with Los Angeles?¡± Xu Chengfeng snorted.¡± Very familiar. You don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡±¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you grow up in Russia? Didn¡¯t he just return to America recently? Even if I came back in the past, it¡¯s impossible for me to be too familiar with him¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget the first time we met. When did I come to America, when did I stay there, and what happened in Los Angeles? You won¡¯t know, and you don¡¯t have to know.¡± As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he turned to look at her. However, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, as if he was not that far away anymore. Zuo Yue¡¯s mood improved a lot because of his smile. She could not help but laugh.¡±Then where are you unfamiliar with? How about we go on vacation together when I¡¯m on vacation?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, do you know who I am?¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly asked softly.¡± ¡°.. I know. You¡¯re my uncle.¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, although her eyes were calm, she felt a little awkward in her heart. ¡°Very good. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re clear.¡± Xu Chengfeng said this without any reason and did not respond. He drove the car into the Xu family¡¯s main gate. Chapter 964 - Chapter 964: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sweetheart Zuo Yue (49) Chapter 964: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sweetheart Zuo Yue (49) After returning to the Xu family, Zuo Yue could not think about it anymore, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words were deeply engraved in her heart. His reminders made her feel ashamed every time, but she couldn¡¯t seem to find anything to refute him. Could it be that in his eyes, her closeness to him was gradually becoming abnormal? She clearly felt that her feelings were not really twisted to the point where she should not have such thoughts about her uncle, but his words still made her feel uncomfortable for a long time. After getting off the car, Zuo Yue went straight to her room and did not say another word to Xu Chengfeng. However, when she returned to her room, she threw the shopping bags in her hands onto the bed. She was too lazy to change them. She lay on the bed without moving and gradually fell asleep. When Xu Yuan heard a knock on the door and walked in, she saw that the girl who had promised to go back to her room to change her clothes and go to see her grandfather was actually asleep. She immediately walked over and took a look at her. She sighed softly and did not wake her up. She took the blanket beside her and was about to cover her when Zuo Yue suddenly woke up. When she saw Xu Yuan standing beside her, Zuo Yue instantly remembered the reason why she came back to her room. She quickly sat up and rubbed her messy hair. She looked innocently at Xu Yuan, whose eyes were filled with helplessness and indulgence towards her.¡±Mom, I¡¯m sorry. I took the bus home last night and didn¡¯t sleep well in the car, so¡­¡± ¡°I know. That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t plan to wake you up when I saw that you were asleep.¡±Xu Yuan placed the blanket in her hands aside.¡±¡±Since you¡¯re awake, get up and change your clothes. Your grandfather¡¯s condition is much better. He¡¯s waiting for you to go over and see him.¡± ¡°Has Uncle gone to see Grandpa now?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s gaze was a little heavy, as if something had happened outside while Zuo Yue was asleep. ¡°Yes, but as usual, it wasn¡¯t pleasant.¡±Xu Yuan sighed.¡± What happened back then was indeed your grandfather¡¯s fault. Your uncle was not close to the Xu family. He came back this time because of you. Otherwise, even if your grandfather passed away, he would not have returned to the Xu family to take a look.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened when he went to see his grandfather?¡±Zuo Yue rolled up from the bed and grabbed her hair as she got off the bed. She turned around to wash her face and tidy her hair. Xu Yuan did not say much. She only glanced at Zuo Yue and said,¡±¡±Your uncle won¡¯t be staying in the Xu family for a few days. Don¡¯t you have a week off? Do you want to stay in Los Angeles and return to Boston after the holidays, or do you want to stay for two days like your uncle?¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. Xu Yuan stood at the side and watched her. After Zuo Yue was done packing, she turned around and picked up the dress she bought to change. Xu Yuan stood behind her and helped her tidy up the dress. She said with satisfaction,¡±You usually don¡¯t like to wear dresses. Even if you don¡¯t wear dresses, it¡¯s good to dress up like this. My daughter is so beautiful, but she has to make herself look like a wild child.¡± ¡°How is it a wild child? It¡¯s called a trend.¡±Zuo Yue laughed as she spoke. When the zipper on her back was pulled up, she turned around and said,¡±¡±Mom, go back to Boston, and then I¡¯ll see what happens to grandpa. I¡¯m not very clear about my uncle¡¯s situation. I don¡¯t know if he¡¯s willing to take me back.¡±¡± ¡°Your uncle just doesn¡¯t have a good relationship with your grandfather. We¡¯re still siblings, so he won¡¯t treat you any different. Don¡¯t worry about that. If you want to go back with him, Mom won¡¯t stop you.¡±Xu Yuan said as she looked at the beautifully dressed Zuo Yue in satisfaction.¡±¡±Our Zuo Yue is a big girl now. She looks so slim and charming. Your grandfather will definitely be happy to see her.¡± ¡°Then, let¡¯s make a deal. I specially dressed up to make Grandpa happy, not for Uncle John¡¯s little John.¡±Zuo Yue emphasized before walking out. Xu Yuan smiled.¡± You child. Mom just wants you to meet him, yet you¡¯re so against it. Did you really get a boyfriend in Boston?¡±¡± Zuo Yue did not explain, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure was reflected in her mind. She quickly dispersed the figure in her mind and quickly walked out of the door. After the old man of the Xu family was hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage, his health had been fluctuating. He slept the entire morning and only felt better in the afternoon. However, because Zuo Yue had slept, it was already dinner time when she came out. She went straight to the main hall in front. A few servants were busy in the main hall. At this moment, Old Master Xu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed in. The dining table was already filled with all kinds of dishes. It looked very sumptuous, but Old Master Xu¡¯s expression was not particularly good at this moment. After he was pushed in, Elder Xu looked around the room. He did not see Xu Chengfeng, and his expression turned even uglier. Zuo Yue saw that her grandfather¡¯s temper was still the same as before, but she could tell that he was angry with Xu Chengfeng. Although she did not particularly want to get close to her grandfather when he was angry, she still walked over. ¡°Dad, Zuo Yue, that useless girl, just went back to her room to change her clothes, but she fell asleep on the bed and only came out at this time.¡±Xu Yuan teased. Old Master Xu¡¯s gaze then landed on Zuo Yue. When he saw Zuo Yue, whom he had not seen for a year or two, his eyes lit up and he smiled,¡±¡±Our Zuo Yue has already grown into a slender and elegant lady. Come, let grandpa take a good look at you.¡± Seeing that her grandfather was still smiling, Zuo Yue smiled and walked closer. She called out sweetly,¡±¡±Grandpa! Grandpa, you still look so good. As long as you listen to the doctor and nurse yourself back to health, it won¡¯t be long before you can stand up again!¡± ¡°Girl, your mouth is so sweet. I know my own body well.¡±Old Master Xu smiled as he took her hand and patted it gently.¡±However, before I see my good granddaughter get married, I can¡¯t bear to leave. No matter what, I have to live a few more years.¡± ¡°Grandpa, you can live for at least another 30 to 40 years. A few years is not enough.¡±Zuo Yue smiled sweetly as she bent down beside him and said,¡±¡±How many old people in their hundreds are still alive and healthy in this world? My grandfather definitely has a longer life than anyone else. As long as you recuperate well, you will definitely not only see me get married, but maybe in another 30 years, you will also see my children get married.¡± Although there weren¡¯t many people in the main hall, the entire hall instantly burst into laughter. Xu Yuan also smiled and said,¡± This girl is full of nonsense. Go and call your uncle over. We can eat soon.¡± Chapter 965 - Chapter 965: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Giving My Niece Face (50) Chapter 965: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Giving My Niece Face (50) Zuo Yue nodded and turned around to look for Xu Chengfeng. However, just as she turned around and walked to the door, she saw that Xu Chengfeng had already arrived. However, he obviously did not have any intention of explaining his late arrival. He only glanced at Zuo Yue, who had specially dressed up a little, and his gaze moved away from her face. He walked in beside her. Zuo Yue stood rooted to the spot. She recalled what he had said when he drove back in the afternoon. She remembered that she had not spoken to him since she got out of the car. Was it because she was in the Xu family that he was too lazy to even greet her? Zuo Yue turned around and saw that because Xu Chengfeng had arrived, her grandfather¡¯s expression changed again.¡±¡±Since you don¡¯t want to stay in the Xu family, don¡¯t come again in the future. Our Xu family doesn¡¯t lack such a person. Didn¡¯t he want to leave? Why aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze fell on Old Master Xu and he sneered,¡±¡±If you weren¡¯t so angry that you had a cerebral hemorrhage and were hospitalized again, I would really leave tonight.¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°Dad! Don¡¯t be angry, don¡¯t be angry. Chengfeng only came back when he was in his teens. He hasn¡¯t been close to his family for so many years. He came back to visit because he knew that you were sick. Although his temper is still the same, at least he came back. Don¡¯t be angry. Take care of your health. Don¡¯t be angry anymore!¡±Xu Yuan quickly leaned over to Old Master Xu¡¯s side and used her hand to help him massage his heaving chest. After saying that, Xu Yuan raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had a cold and calm expression.¡±Chengfeng, since you¡¯re already here, sit down. There aren¡¯t many people in the Xu family. Dad only has two children, you and me. Other than me, there¡¯s only you in this family.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not reply, but his eyes were clearly lukewarm. He did not really want to fulfill Old Master Xu¡¯s wish of having a reunion dinner. Other than them, the only other people in the main hall were the servants. Uncle John¡¯s family was not here tonight, and there were no outsiders here. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment. Then, she suddenly turned around and ran to Xu Chengfeng. She smiled brightly and held his hand like a child.¡±Uncle, go sit down at the dining table. Let¡¯s eat together and accompany Grandpa!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows twitched. He lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue who was beside him. Zuo Yue was holding his hand, but it looked like a child trying to win over an elder. Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was so sensible and said,¡±¡±Yes, sit down and have a meal. After this reunion dinner, if you plan to leave tomorrow, we won¡¯t force you to stay. You know Dad¡¯s temper too. Both you and your father are so stubborn. You should sit down and have a good meal for Zuo Yue¡¯s sake.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s family with him? Ever since he returned to the Xu family, it had been less than a week since he came back to the Xu family. How could you expect him to stay here for a few more days? When did this kid ever treat this place as his home? It¡¯s already good enough that he doesn¡¯t anger me to death every time he comes back!¡±Elder Xu said angrily. Xu Chengfeng glanced at him. Zuo Yue was afraid that he would continue to be at odds with her grandfather, so she quickly grabbed his hand tightly. Her voice was pleading as she said in a very, very soft voice,¡±Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was delicate and soft, and her hand was still tightly hugging his arm. Xu Chengfeng frowned and turned around to say,¡±¡±Take your hands off me.¡± To Xu Yuan, this sentence sounded like he did not even intend to give Zuo Yue face. She immediately said,¡±¡±Chengfeng, just sit down and have a meal. After all, the blood of the Xu family flows in your veins. Although Dad has a bad temper, he still hopes that you can stay¡­¡± When he heard the words ¡± Xu family¡¯s blood ¡°, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face had a cold smile for no reason. Zuo Yue saw that cold smile. Although she did not know what he was thinking, she still grabbed his arm tightly and pulled it down. She whispered,¡±¡±Sit down, okay?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Look at how stubborn Zuo Yue was with you in the past. Now, she¡¯s already on such good terms with you. She¡¯s already begging you so much, so you should give your niece some face.¡±Xu Yuan said softly as she pushed the furious Old Master Xu to the main seat at the dining table. Zuo Yue had already pulled Xu Chengfeng to the dining table and whispered,¡±¡±Uncle, you sit here. I¡¯ll sit next to you.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but he still sat down at the dining table under Zuo Yue¡¯s pestering. Zuo Yue happily looked up at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan gave her a look of commendation, then smiled and asked the servant to bring up the unfinished dishes. The dining table was very big, but there were only four of them eating together. The distance between everyone was not close. Zuo Yue could not sit too close to Xu Chengfeng, so she could only sit at the side. Actually, she was very emotional. Her grandmother had passed away more than ten years ago, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s mother did not seem to be her grandmother, but another woman. This was what he had said before. Grandpa was already so old, but he still left the seed outside. Also, she did not know whether the so-called miscarriage was really a miscarriage or if he was deliberately hiding something. The only thing she could understand was that her grandfather really wanted Xu Chengfeng to come back. However, his uncle obviously did not intend to grant his wish. The servant brought a bowl of medicinal soup that had been boiled over the fire for a long time to the old man. Xu Yuan was laughing and laughing at the side as she took a small bowl and poured some soup in front of him.¡± Father, Chengfeng has already decided to stay tonight. Please calm down and don¡¯t be angry anymore. We¡¯re all family, so there¡¯s no need to be so angry. This herbal dish was specially made for you by Chengfeng after he came back. He wanted you to nourish your body.¡± ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s good enough that he didn¡¯t curse me to die quickly.¡±Old Master Xu¡¯s expression was still ugly as he looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite him with an expressionless face.¡±¡±I heard that your KG Group was listed in the US a few years ago. Are you looking down on the Xu family¡¯s assets now?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at Old Master Xu calmly.¡±¡±More than ten years ago, when the Xu family lured me back with the excuse of the family¡¯s wealth, I already said that I was not interested in the Xu family¡¯s things. Not only did I not like them now, I also did not like them more than ten years ago.¡± ¡°You!¡± Elder Xu slammed the table hard, causing the huge European-style dining table to shake. Zuo Yue had never seen her grandfather lose his temper like this before, and seeing Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude, she did not know if she should interrupt. If she really interrupted, what should she say? She quickly picked up some food and placed it on the cutlery in front of Xu Chengfeng. She whispered,¡±Uncle, let¡¯s eat.¡± Chapter 966 - Chapter 966: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Close Hug (51) Chapter 966: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Close Hug (51) Seeing Zuo Yue at a loss under Old Master Xu¡¯s anger, Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly and warned her with his eyes that if she wanted to eat, she should eat by herself and not talk too much. Zuo Yue also knew that the deterioration of the relationship between her grandfather and uncle was not something that could be resolved with a few words. However, this was the first time she had seen such a family dispute in the Xu family. She was only a junior and could not do anything about it. However, her heart secretly ached for him. He knew that he would be faced with such a furious scene when he returned to the Xu family. No matter how unwilling he was to come back, he still came back. If he really did not plan to come back to see his father until he died, Xu Chengfeng indeed had the ability to resist the threat of the Xu family. However, he still came back after all. The one who did wrong back then was Grandpa. Although Grandpa was old and sick now, he couldn¡¯t just ask Uncle to do what his son did after he came back. In the end, it was still Grandpa¡¯s fault, but Uncle didn¡¯t say anything. He was obviously too lazy to argue with them. ¡°Dad, calm down and stop talking. Let¡¯s sit together and have a good meal. Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°What meal? You¡¯re the ones who forced him to stay for dinner. I didn¡¯t make him stay. If he wants to leave, he can leave. If he leaves the Xu family today, he can never come back! Whether you like to go back to Russia and be your Ken or leave the name Xu Chengfeng behind is your own business! Our Xu family doesn¡¯t want to force a son like you to stay!¡± ¡± Dad, please speak less. Chengfeng has already sat down. He has already stayed. You¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa, please eat¡­¡± Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Her grandfather could clearly see that Xu Chengfeng was already holding back, but he was still being aggressive. Suddenly, she heard a ¡± pa ¡± sound in her ear. Zuo Yue immediately turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng placing the cutlery he had just picked up back on the table. The sound was not loud, but it was crisp and decisive. As if she could tell that he was not planning to eat anymore, Zuo Yue panicked and quickly said,¡±¡±Uncle¡­¡± ¡°Take your time to eat. Excuse me.¡± Xu Chengfeng couldn¡¯t take it anymore and got up to leave. ¡°Little¡­¡± Zuo Yue quickly got up and wanted to stop him. Xu Yuan also looked in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction, but no one noticed that Old Master Xu was so angry that he suddenly grabbed the bowl filled with medicinal soup in front of him and threw it in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction. Although the bowl of boiling hot soup spilled out in the air, more than half of it still fell in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction and instantly spilled on his body. Zuo Yue cried out in surprise when she saw the boiling hot soup on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back. ¡°Dad, what are you doing¡­¡± ¡°Get lost! If you get lost, don¡¯t come back!¡± Old Master Xu didn¡¯t know where he got the strength from, but he was still unwilling to give up after throwing a bowl. He was about to splash the whole bowl of soup on him. The servants were so frightened that they quickly ran over to take the soup away. Old Master Xu grabbed two cutlery beside him and smashed them fiercely at Xu Chengfeng again. This time, it was not only Zuo Yue who screamed. Seeing that the knife and fork had been thrown too hard and left a blood mark on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s chin that was neither light nor heavy, as well as the cutlery and plates that had shattered on his body in an instant, Xu Yuan also cried out in alarm and quickly went to hold the old man down.¡±Dad! You¡¯re crazy! That¡¯s your biological son! You really have the heart to do it!¡± ¡°What biological son! I don¡¯t have a son! What kind of son was a person who was unwilling to even enter the family?¡± Xu Chengfeng acted as if he could not feel the pain in his body. He ignored the words of Old Master Xu behind him and walked out of the door as if nothing had happened. Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground for a long time. He finally knew why his uncle was unwilling to come back. A person who did something wrong would always blame others. Could he expect his uncle to be close to him and accept the Xu family¡¯s ¡°gift¡±? Zuo Yue saw that Xu Chengfeng had already gone out and was anxious. Then, she saw that her mother was comforting her grandfather. She suddenly pulled out a chair and ran out. ¡°Zuo Yue, come back! Don¡¯t worry about him!¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue had actually gone out to chase after Xu Chengfeng, Old Master Xu shouted angrily. ¡°Dad! Even a child like Zuo Yue would understand human feelings better than you! Why don¡¯t you know how to control your temper when you¡¯re old? The more you act like this, the more Chengfeng doesn¡¯t want to enter this house. Do you really not want this son anymore?¡±Xu Yuan was also furious. At this moment, she did not even hold back when she spoke. When Zuo Yue ran out of the door, she saw that Xu Chengfeng had already walked far away. However, he was obviously not going back to his room. Instead, he was walking in the direction of the parking lot in front. Was he leaving directly? It turned out that there were times when his uncle could be extremely angry and disregard everything. It turned out that there were times when he could be controlled by his emotions, and there were times when he could not be so calm. Zuo Yue hurriedly ran towards him. When he reached the parking lot, she ran behind him and reached out to grab his sleeve. She panted and said,¡±¡±Uncle¡­Don¡¯t go!¡± The man in front of him, whose shirt was already a little disheveled because of the soup, did not turn around and said coldly,¡±Let go!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let go!¡± Zuo Yue grabbed his arm with all her might. She could feel the blood surging in his arm, and she could feel that he was really angry. ¡°Uncle, I won¡¯t speak up for Grandpa. I know what Grandpa did was wrong, but you were injured and scalded just now. You still haven¡¯t fully recovered from the cold. You¡¯re not allowed to leave!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, I don¡¯t want to say it a second time. I don¡¯t want to implicate you either.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was cold, but he was obviously suppressing his anger. ¡°I won¡¯t let go! You¡¯re injured!¡± Zuo Yue insisted on grabbing him and suddenly went around him. She looked at his cold and determined chin and saw the blood stain beside it. She raised her hand to check if it was serious, but Xu Chengfeng frowned and turned his head away to avoid her hand. Zuo Yue stood stiffly, sniffing, sniffing, shivering in the late autumn cold wind, wearing a skirt, but still standing in front of him, looking at his cold and hard face, saying with red eyes: ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll help you apply the medicine, okay? That bowl of soup just now was just out of the pot. It was very, very hot¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not injured. Go back. Don¡¯t force me to chase you away.¡±Xu Chengfeng pushed her hand away expressionlessly and turned to walk to the car. Zuo Yuejiang stood rooted to the ground. She turned around and looked at the figure who would probably never return to the Xu family if she did not stay tonight. She gradually bit her lip. The heartache and inexplicable impulse in her heart drove her to rush behind him like a gust of wind. She suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly behind him. ¡°Don¡¯t go!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s feet froze instantly because of the persistent force that was wrapped around his back and waist. Chapter 967 - Chapter 967: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Go to Your Room (52) Chapter 967: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Go to Your Room (52) ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t go. I beg you, don¡¯t go¡­¡± Zuo Yue hugged him tightly behind him, as if she was afraid that he would disappear once she let go. Xu Chengfeng stood where he was without moving. Zuo Yue could feel that there was still some soup left on his back where he had been scalded. At this moment, it had been blown very cold by the wind, but through the wet white shirt, she could see that his back was already red. How could such boiling hot soup not burn him? Grandpa¡¯s throwing was really accurate. He only threw a few things, but they all hit Xu Chengfeng. The cold wind blew, and Zuo Yue stood behind him trembling. He felt the girl¡¯s trembling behind him, and all the softness of her body was tightly pressed against him. Xu Chengfeng frowned, and he did not know whether those angry emotions were gradually dissipated by the soft trembling behind him or by the cold wind. After a moment of silence, he said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±Zuo Yue, do you know what you are doing?¡± Zuo Yue did not understand the meaning behind his words and just nodded behind him.¡±¡±I know, Uncle, I know. I can¡¯t let you go! I know that he doesn¡¯t regret what he did in the past. He only wants you to come back and inherit the Xu family¡¯s assets. He wants you to acknowledge him as your father. It¡¯s indeed very selfish. My mother and I know it very well, but I can¡¯t let you go now. You haven¡¯t recovered from your cold. You¡¯re still injured. The weather is so cold, and your clothes are still wet. You can¡¯t leave¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He just stood there and listened to Zuo Yue¡¯s nasal cry. Seeing that he was not as angry and resistant as before, Zuo Yue still hugged him tightly and pressed her face against his back. Her small face rubbed back and forth on his back as if she was comforting him, but also acting coquettishly,¡±¡±Also, you were the one who brought me back this time. Even if you want to leave, you should bring me along, right¡­¡± ¡°But I¡¯ve been in Boston for a few months, and I just came back to see my mother. Do you really have the heart to let me go back with you without even staying at the Xu family for a night? But you can¡¯t abandon me, so can you stay here with me for a night? Even if it¡¯s just one night, treat your injuries first.¡± ¡°Uncle, I know that you¡¯re a person who¡¯s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You must have a lot of stories in your heart. You¡¯re just unwilling to tell them. I know that if Grandpa hurts you and you don¡¯t like the Xu family, you can try to come back as little as possible in the future. However, you¡¯re my uncle. I can¡¯t let you leave with your injuries, and I can¡¯t let you drive away in anger. It¡¯s not safe.¡± The more Zuo Yue spoke, the tighter she hugged him. The weather was very cold and she was wearing very thin clothes. She could still feel a little warm hugging him like this, but it only had a little effect. After all, he was very cold at the moment. Perhaps he was cold from the bottom of his heart¡­He might be colder than her and needed warmth more than she did¡­ Zuo Yue hugged her tighter and tighter. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but he raised his hand and placed it on her hand, gently pulling it away. Thinking that he was going to push her away and leave, Zuo Yue hugged him tightly again the moment he separated her hands. She hugged him tightly like an octopus without any rules. She did not even know that her hands had touched his chest when she raised her hands. She just stuck close to his back.¡±Uncle, don¡¯t push me away. Don¡¯t leave, okay? I beg you¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± Zuo Yue, take your hand away first.¡±¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡± ¡°Be good.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to! I won¡¯t let go! I won¡¯t let you go!¡± The little girl¡¯s voice had changed from pleading at the beginning to a little more arrogant now. The veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed. He lowered his head and looked at the spot where she was hugging him tightly. He sighed softly and firmly pulled her hand away with his dark eyes. Zuo Yue staggered backward for a moment and quickly steadied herself. Just as she was about to pounce on him again, Xu Chengfeng had already turned around to face her. She almost fell into his arms. She quickly stabilized her body and swayed in front of him before taking a step back. She looked at him blankly.¡±Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Seeing her red eyes and tears on her face, Xu Chengfeng sighed.¡±¡±How can I leave when you¡¯re crying like this?¡± When Zuo Yue heard that, she instantly broke into a smile and was about to throw herself into his arms.¡±¡±Uncle, you¡¯re so nice¡­¡± In the end, before she could enter, she was blocked by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s raised hand. She was stunned for a moment and looked up at him. However, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression of being unable to bear it anymore.¡±Go back and wipe your tears and snot clean!¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue was embarrassed. It turned out that he disliked her tears and snot. He was actually talking about cleanliness at a time like this. There was still so much soup on him, but he didn¡¯t take off his clothes in disgust. Now, he was here to despise her. Zuo Yue pouted, but since he was no longer determined to leave and had already stayed, she still happily raised her hand and gently tugged at his sleeve.¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll go to your room and apply medicine on the burn on your back, okay?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s fine to have a superficial injury.¡± ¡°How can I do that? It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s just a small knife cut, but this is a burn. I have to take a look at such hot soup! I¡¯m a medical student. Even if I haven¡¯t finished my apprenticeship, I¡¯m still considered half a doctor. You have to listen to me!¡± Xu Chengfeng furrowed his brows and obviously did not intend to listen to her. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, dragged him away forcefully.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll help you apply the medicine. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be very gentle. I¡¯m not giving you medicine or injections. Don¡¯t be afraid of applying the medicine¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Don¡¯t you have any sense of seniority?¡± Whose sister?¡± ¡°You¡¯re my sister, okay?¡± Zuo Yue saw that he was still arguing with her, but it seemed that his anger had already subsided. She pushed him with a sly expression.¡±Hurry up and go apply the medicine! If you don¡¯t have a first aid kit in your room, go to my room. I¡¯ll get the servant to bring the first aid kit over!¡± Xu Chengfeng was finally left helpless by her pestering. Just as Zuo Yue was about to pull her to her room, he suddenly raised his hand and hooked her back. He put his hand on her shoulder and let go when Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. He raised his chin and gestured for her to go to him. He really didn¡¯t want to go to an unmarried girl¡¯s room. Zuo Yue did not know Xu Chengfeng¡¯s awkwardness, but she knew that he wanted her to go to his place. She said happily,¡±¡±I¡¯ll get a passing servant to bring a first aid kit over later. Uncle, do you have spare clothes here? You can¡¯t wear this shirt anymore.¡± Chapter 968 - Chapter 968: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Naked (53) Chapter 968: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Naked (53) Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t answer her question, but he walked straight over. Zuo Yue quickly followed behind him. As she walked, she secretly looked at him. She saw that although he had calmed down and no longer insisted on leaving, his expression seemed to have become much colder. He had probably been restraining himself. Zuo Yue reached out her small hand and gently tugged at his sleeve. Although it was not as ambiguous as holding hands, she felt much more comfortable pulling his sleeve and following him to his room. When he walked out of his room, Xu Chengfeng seemed to hesitate for a moment. However, he turned around and saw Zuo Yue, whose face had turned pale from the wind. He said calmly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you need to go accompany Grandpa?¡± ¡°Grandpa is so angry now that he can¡¯t help but talk back to him. It will only make him angrier. Grandpa will be fine with my mom around. Besides, I can¡¯t leave you here alone.¡±Zuo Yue said matter-of-factly. Xu Chengfeng had lost his temper at her pestering. He looked at her again and silently pushed open the door in front of him. When Zuo Yue followed him in, she could tell that this was the residence that the Xu family had prepared for him when he returned to acknowledge his ancestors. However, it seemed that he had only stayed here a few times. Many of the furnishings looked new and very clean. It was bigger and more spacious than her room here. After Xu Chengfeng went in, he went to the bathroom to take off his clothes. Zuo Yue saw that he went to take off his clothes and blushed. She did not follow him and only walked back and forth in his room. A few minutes later, the maid brought the first aid kit over. She even told her that there was burn medicine and other medicine in it. It was all complete. After Zuo Yue thanked him, she took the first aid kit and walked to the bedside in his bedroom. She placed it on the table beside the bed. She heard the sound of the bathroom. It had been a long time, but there was still no sound of water. Was he not going to wash up? After waiting for a while, she felt a little worried. She got up and walked over. She saw that the bathroom door was not completely closed. It was half-open, so she should not be showering. Zuo Yue stuck her head out and saw that Xu Chengfeng had spent a lot of effort to take off his shirt. However, because he had been standing outside for a long time, the cold wind had stuck his burnt skin to his shirt. When he took it off, a large piece of his burnt skin had been torn off. Zuo Yue exclaimed and quickly reached out to open the bathroom door.¡±¡±Uncle, don¡¯t wash it. I¡¯ll help you disinfect it¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng paused for a moment when he heard the bathroom door behind him being pulled open. He turned around and glanced at her. When she saw his bare chest, Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned hot, but now was not the time to be embarrassed. She went over and pulled him.¡±Now, not only can I not let your scalded area come into contact with water, but I can also not wear clothes anymore. Anyway, it¡¯s okay for a man to not wear clothes on his upper body. I can often see it in the gym. I don¡¯t mind.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but the extent of the burn was indeed much more serious than he had imagined. Seeing her insistence, although he wanted to avoid arousing suspicion, he was still dragged out by her in the end. Then, Zuo Yue came out of nowhere and forcefully pressed him onto the bed. Xu Chengfeng was about to say something, but Zuo Yue had already pressed his shoulder with one hand to stop him from moving. The other hand quickly took the first aid kit and placed it beside him. He turned around and glanced at the various medicines in the first aid kit. He was sure that this half-baked young doctor, who had not even finished her studies in Boston for a semester, was really serious about treating his wound. Zuo Yue only let go of him when she saw that he was no longer moving around and had no intention of struggling. At the same time, she took out some disinfectant from the medical kit. After taking a look at the burned area on his back, she thought for a moment and said,¡±The skin on the burned area has been cruelly torn off by you. If you don¡¯t disinfect it, it will probably become very inflamed tomorrow. However, if you disinfect this kind of burn, it will probably hurt to death.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense. If you want to apply the medicine, hurry up.¡±Xu Chengfeng did not know if he did it on purpose, but he seemed to want her to leave as soon as possible. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t say anything else. She felt resentful in her heart. As if she was taking revenge, she directly used disinfectant and alcohol cotton to disinfect him. She could feel the excruciating pain just by looking at it. Although Xu Chengfeng could see his back stiffen for a moment, which should be very painful, he did not make a sound. Zuo Yue even mischievously stuck her head forward to look at his expression. She saw that his forehead was already covered in sweat, but he did not even frown. ¡°If you can endure this kind of pain, why can¡¯t you endure a few words from Grandpa?¡±Zuo Yue muttered softly. However, Xu Chengfeng did not take her words to heart. He did not answer her as if he did not intend to discuss the matter with her grandfather. ¡°It¡¯s almost done. Bear with it. There¡¯s still a bruise on your shoulder. Although the skin isn¡¯t broken, it¡¯s red. Also, the bruise on your chin is bleeding.¡± After Zuo Yue treated the wound on his back, she turned around and walked to him. Xu Chengfeng did not move. Seeing that he was not very cooperative, she held the disinfectant pad in one hand and lifted his chin with the other. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes met hers when he saw her lifting his chin. He looked as if he had been teased and could not bear it anymore. Zuo Yue smiled and touched his chin, taking advantage of it. When Xu Chengfeng was about to reprimand her, she changed to a serious expression and held his chin. She carefully disinfected the blood stain beside his chin that was not serious but was indeed bleeding. Zuo Yue was very serious when she disinfected the wound. Her movements were also very gentle. Although she knew that it would hurt, she was afraid that it would hurt him even more. The two of them were a little close to each other because of this position. Xu Chengfeng could see that there was not a single pore on her white porcelain-like skin. Her young and tender face looked particularly youthful under the night light. The fragrance of her shower gel and shampoo wafted into his nose. Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng turned his head away before she could finish disinfecting him. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand paused and she looked at him in confusion.¡±It¡¯s not done yet¡­¡± ¡°The rest are just minor injuries. You just need to deal with the injuries on your back.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was a little stiff and even a little hoarse. Chapter 969 - Chapter 969: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Is It Annoying?(54) Chapter 969: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Is It Annoying?(54) Zuo Yue was a little puzzled, but the wound beside his chin was not particularly serious. Moreover, it seemed that as long as the wound was treated properly, it would not leave a scar. She deliberately rubbed against the wound on his chin for a long time. She did not know why, but the feeling just now was very strange. She just did not want to let go. She wanted to continue provoking Little Uncle¡­ However, in order to prevent him from getting angry, Zuo Yue still turned around and went back behind him without a word. She took out the burn medicine and helped him apply it. Although it would not hurt as much as disinfecting, it would not be easy for him to be injured like this. As she applied it, she asked,¡±¡±Does it hurt?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Zuo Yue leaned closer to his back and asked softly. ¡°I¡¯m fine. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± ¡°No way¡­¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± The skin where you were scalded is broken, and the surroundings are all red. It would be strange if it doesn¡¯t hurt. You¡¯re not made of iron. I won¡¯t laugh at you if you admit that you¡¯re in pain.¡±¡± ¡°Is it done? You can leave after you¡¯re done.¡± ¡°Why? Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing it?¡± When Zuo Yue heard that, she was unhappy. As he had not finished applying it, Xu Chengfeng could only continue to maintain his back to her. However, his voice was cold and indifferent.¡±This is the Xu family, not a place where you can mess around. An eighteen-year-old girl has been in my room for so long. Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will think too much?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hand, which was applying medicine on him, paused slightly. She suddenly looked at him and asked,¡±¡±Then, after we return to Boston, if there are only the two of us in the villa, can I stay in your room?¡± ¡°What kind of logic is that?¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± ¡°It¡¯s what you said. You said that you were afraid that others would think too much when they saw it. So, if no one saw it, can I do whatever I want in your room?¡±Zuo Yue asked deliberately. Xu Chengfeng did not speak at first. Just as Zuo Yue squeezed some ointment and was about to continue applying it for him, the lean naked back in front of her suddenly left her vision. She was stunned and looked up to see the man who had already stood up and left the bed. ¡°Little¡­¡± ¡°No matter if anyone can see it or not, you can¡¯t.¡±Xu Chengfeng turned around and poured a glass of water. At the same time, he turned back to look at her who was standing by the bed. He did not want to see her sad face. He frowned and added,¡±Isn¡¯t it already done? There was no need to apply so much. It was enough.¡± ¡°Uncle, do you hate me very much?¡±Zuo Yue lowered her eyes and tidied up the medical box as she spoke softly, seemingly inadvertently. Xu Chengfeng did not answer her. He only glanced at her and thought for a while, but did not say anything. ¡°I know I¡¯m not a child, and the age gap between us isn¡¯t particularly big. I know you¡¯re trying to avoid the gossip of some adults from affecting me, but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal. You¡¯re good to me, so I¡¯m good to you. Isn¡¯t this natural?¡± ¡°If that¡¯s all, of course it¡¯s good.¡±Xu Chengfeng said lightly as he put down the cup. ¡°If that¡¯s all?¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes. I¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her seriously.¡±Your mother gave you to me. She trusted me 100%. I took care of you because of your mother.¡±¡± Zuo Yue seemed to understand, but also seemed to not understand. She stood up by the bed, unable to speak for a long time. ¡°After you graduate, I probably won¡¯t continue to stay in the United States to develop. Other than the few years you¡¯ll see me in Boston, you won¡¯t have many chances to see me in the future.¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°You know very well that you and I are not from the same world.¡± ¡°Uncle, why are you saying this? I don¡¯t have any other thoughts¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart began to beat wildly. She felt that he seemed to have discovered her little thoughts and little dependence that she should not have. At this moment, he seemed to have exposed the ugly things in her heart and was criticizing her seriously. He even cruelly threw her passionate and cautious feelings to the ground. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t have any other thoughts.¡±Xu Chengfeng still looked at her seriously.¡±¡±Then you should go back to your room now and not continue to stay here. I accept your concern. In order for you and your daughter to reunite for another two days, I can stay here for one or two more days. However, I know how to handle my relationship with your grandfather. You don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± ¡°Uncle, I¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything. Let¡¯s go.¡± Xu Chengfeng saw the hurt in her eyes and turned around without batting an eyelid. He no longer looked at her, nor did he look at her eyes that were filled with frustration and embarrassment. Zuo Yue¡¯s nails dug deep into her palm. She lowered her eyes.¡±I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xu Chengfeng paused, but he was only distracted for a moment. He was still ruthless and did not look back. The little girl¡¯s thoughts were too easy to see through. She was indeed still too young and did not know how to control her emotions. She did not know how to distinguish between feelings that should and should not be. If he did not let her stop at the brink of the cliff in time, she would only be hurting herself. She was only eighteen years old. She should be living in a place full of sunshine and not going to hell because of him. These few days, Xu Chengfeng had been reminding her of some things from time to time. He must have thought that she was the kind of brainless person who would develop feelings for her blood-related relatives. He must have felt troubled. Zuo Yue¡¯s hands were intertwined, and her fingers were tangled. Her joints were white, but there was a smile on her face as she forced back her tears.¡±Uncle¡­Rest early¡­Don¡¯t let the wound on your back touch water. Leave the first aid kit here. If you can¡¯t treat it yourself, get the servant to help you.¡± Xu Chengfeng still did not respond. Zuo Yue felt that it was indeed very embarrassing for her to stand there. She took a deep breath and smiled, but a tear accidentally fell. She was afraid that Xu Chengfeng would see her, so she quickly turned around and walked out. When she closed the door, she raised her hand and wiped her eyes hard. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Yuan had arrived at some point. When she saw Zuo Yue coming out of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s room, she quickly walked over and asked,¡±¡±How is your uncle?¡± Zuo Yue was shocked when she saw her mother. She said calmly,¡±¡±I just went to Uncle¡¯s room to apply medicine on her. After applying medicine, I came out. Looking at his condition, he probably didn¡¯t argue with Grandpa anymore and is willing to stay for two days.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Xu Yuan sighed.¡± Your grandfather has already gone back to rest. There are only a few of us in the Xu family. If your uncle really leaves suddenly, your grandfather will definitely be upset if he doesn¡¯t let go.¡±¡± Zuo Yue nodded and did not say anything else. She did not even have the intention to look back at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s room and walked away quickly. Xu Yuan looked at her back in confusion.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with this child?¡± Chapter 970 - Chapter 970: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-That Kind of Liking (55) Chapter 970: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-That Kind of Liking (55) Xu Yuan turned around and knocked on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s door before entering his room. Zuo Yue turned her head back from afar. When she saw her mother enter her uncle¡¯s room and recalled what her uncle had said earlier, her heart began to throb in pain. Did she really like her uncle? Did he really like her? The kind of love between a normal man and woman? Otherwise, why would it be so uncomfortable¡­ Zuo Yue returned to her room listlessly. After taking a shower, she lay on the bed. Her mind and heart were filled with every little bit of time she spent with Xu Chengfeng. Although it was not long, it seemed that every time it happened, it would trigger the most sensitive nerve in her heart. Also, he was clearly determined to leave just now. He stayed because of her. Zuo Yue turned over and curled up on the bed. She pulled the blanket up and forced herself to sleep with her head closed. ***** Early the next morning, Zuo Yue finished tidying herself up and got up to visit her grandfather. His condition was not bad, but he needed to rest temporarily because he had just taken his medicine. So she left after chatting with him for a while in his room. She did not see Xu Chengfeng during breakfast. When the servants were chatting, she found out that although Xu Chengfeng did not leave the Xu family in a hurry today, he went out early in the morning. He was willing to stay because he had promised her, right? However, he still didn¡¯t want to stay in this place for too long. Did he go out to do something? Zuo Yue ate her breakfast as she thought about it. When Xu Yuan came over, she saw that Zuo Yue was almost done eating. She smiled and sat beside her.¡±Did you not sleep well?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Zuo Yue put down her cutlery. ¡°Are you worried that your uncle will leave you alone?¡±Xu Yuan smiled and said,¡± Don¡¯t worry. Your uncle said that he will stay with you for two nights and leave after tonight. He just has something to deal with, so he went out. He should be back before dark.¡±¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything at first, but when she thought of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude last night, she felt that it was not good for her to continue pestering him. She said softly,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t you let uncle leave by himself tomorrow? I¡¯ll go back by myself in a few days. I¡¯m not a child anymore anyway.¡± ¡°Your uncle has already agreed to let you go back with him tomorrow. There¡¯s no need to change the things that have already been decided. It just so happens that you can¡¯t help your grandfather much. Even if he couldn¡¯t go on vacation after he went back, he would go out for a walk to relax.¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment and did not say anything. Xu Yuan then said,¡±¡± That¡¯s right. Uncle John¡¯s family didn¡¯t come yesterday. They will come to visit your grandfather this morning and will stay for lunch. Even if you don¡¯t want to dress up today, you should clean yourself up. At least don¡¯t act like a wild child and behave yourself.¡± Zuo Yue sighed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?¡± Xu Yuan noticed that she seemed to have a lot on her mind since last night. She could not help but ask softly,¡±If there¡¯s anything you¡¯re unhappy about, tell Mom.¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Yue supported her chin with one hand.¡± I just feel that Uncle has his own life. If you entrust me to him like this, it¡¯s equivalent to placing a burden by his side. Mom, I think it¡¯s better for me to move out of his place.¡±¡± ¡°What nonsense are you saying? When I went to your uncle¡¯s room last night, he even praised you. He said that you¡¯re very smart and obedient. Other than being a little willful and stubborn occasionally, you¡¯re not bad. He also said that although you¡¯re young, you have a good personality. He likes you quite a lot.¡± Zuo Yue looked at Xu Yuan in surprise.¡±¡±Really?¡± Xu Yuan chuckled.¡± Of course it¡¯s true. Your uncle rarely praises anyone. You can see that he has a cold personality. Since he can praise you a few times, it shows that he still likes you, his niece. So don¡¯t think too much about it. Just stay by your uncle¡¯s side obediently and you can restrict him.¡±¡± ¡°Limit him? What restrictions?¡± Zuo Yue felt strange. ¡°Because of you, he has tried to reduce his trip back to Russia. You may not know the situation in Russia, but it¡¯s a war-torn country. Your grandfather and I don¡¯t want your uncle to live there for a long time. We hope that he can put most of his energy into the United States. After all, the Xu family¡¯s future business will still be handed over to your uncle.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything, but she thought of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude towards the Xu family yesterday. He had no intention of inheriting the Xu family¡¯s business at all. Were his mother and grandfather trying to make him stay in the United States for a long time by making him stay to take care of her? Although she really hoped that he could stay in the United States, wasn¡¯t that a little too selfish? Perhaps his uncle knew their purpose. Otherwise, why would he be so cold and resistant? ¡°Girl, why are you still so preoccupied? After saying a few words, she sat there as if her soul had flown away.¡±¡±Have you visited your grandfather?¡± Xu Yuan shook her head as she spoke.¡± ¡°I went to check it out before breakfast and talked to Grandpa for a while.¡± ¡°Alright, then go back and change your clothes. Your Uncle John¡¯s family will be here in a while.¡± At the thought of having to deal with Uncle John¡¯s family, Zuo Yue sighed faintly, but she still got up and went back to her room. When she was changing her clothes in the room, she glanced at her phone that was placed on the bed. She had the urge to call her uncle and ask him where he was. The maid said that he had left early in the morning. Was he busy with the branch of the KP Group here, or was he busy with something else? Or was it just to deliberately avoid the Xu family and her? ***** As expected, Uncle John¡¯s family came early. They arrived not long after Zuo Yue returned to her room. Uncle John¡¯s family and the Xu family used to be neighbors. Later, Uncle John¡¯s family moved away, but they had maintained contact for so many years. They treated Grandpa as a very respectable elder. This time, when his grandfather was sick, many people came to visit him. Uncle John and his family had just returned from overseas business and came straight to the Xu family. They really had to give him face because they missed him. However, Zuo Yue did not have a deep relationship with the other members of the family. There was also their Little John, whom her mother seemed to want her to get to know better. She had met him twice when she was young, and he always bullied her. The front hall was already bustling with noise. When Zuo Yue walked in, she saw that Uncle John¡¯s family had already sat down. Xu Yuan was talking to them. Their laughter could be heard from outside. As soon as Zuo Yue entered the door, Uncle John and his wife saw her. Before they could say anything, their son, John Junior, had already cast his gaze at her. Chapter 971 - Chapter 971: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hes Minding (56) Chapter 971: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-He¡¯s Minding (56) For the rest of the day, it was Uncle John and his wife who went to Grandpa¡¯s room to sit down and chat, while Little John, who was about the same age as Zuo Yue, found a place to chat with her alone in Xu¡¯s house. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t feel that they were very familiar with each other, so they didn¡¯t talk much. However, Little John kept chatting with her as if he had started a chatterbox. They talked about the interesting things he had done abroad over the years, about what he had seen and heard when he was studying in England, and about some opinions on other countries, as well as about the wars in some countries. Although they were both normal men and these topics were not boring, Zuo Yue could not gather her energy. She just sat opposite John Junior and listened to him. She supported her chin with one hand and looked at him. She could only see his mouth moving, but she could not hear what he said. ¡°Are you not feeling well?¡± John Junior saw that she was listless and asked with concern,¡±¡±Do you want to go out for a walk? I haven¡¯t been to the Xu family¡¯s house for many years. I remember that there¡¯s a small golf course near the parking lot in front.¡± ¡°Sure,¡± It just so happened that Zuo Yue also felt bored, so she stood up and walked out with John Junior. The small football field in the Xu residence was a feature of the Xu residence. Many years ago, when Grandpa was still healthy, he would often invite some old friends to play football at home in order to exercise his body. However, in recent years, because Grandpa¡¯s health was not good, other than the servants who usually cleaned up, no one had played football for a long time. John Junior was very athletic. Although he had a boyish personality, he was still like a child like Zuo Yue. He had been playing with the ball since he arrived at the court. There was a basketball hoop beside him. After the servant brought the basketball over, John Junior had been performing shooting. Zuo Yue sat beside the court and watched him shoot, but her mind was in a mess. It was not until Little John had thrown the basket for a while that he turned around and sat beside her. Because the bench next to her was not very spacious, the two of them sat very close to each other. Zuo Yue was still in a daze and did not notice how close Little John was sitting. ¡°Zuo Yue, you¡¯re already eighteen years old, right? Don¡¯t you have a boyfriend?¡± John Junior asked as he turned his head to her while playing with the ball in his hand. Zuo Yue turned to look at him. The two of them were very close because of their sitting posture. She looked at the glimmer in John Junior¡¯s eyes and smiled. She asked jokingly,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? If I really haven¡¯t found a boyfriend yet, do you still want to try it out with me?¡± ¡°Tsk, if I really wanted to try it out with you, then you¡¯d definitely have picked up a treasure. How can you say that I¡¯m just making up the numbers? Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t understand Chinese idioms. When I was studying in England, I studied Chinese. Although I¡¯m not that proficient, I understand the meaning of those idioms.¡± Seeing that he was still as mischievous as when he was young, Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him with a smile. Little John suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder like a good friend. Zuo Yue felt that he was not taking advantage of her, but just naturally put his arm around her shoulder. Although she was not used to it, she did not immediately shake him off. Instead, she raised her eyebrows.¡±Why? Aren¡¯t you afraid that my grandfather will jump out of bed and break your legs if you touch the Xu family?¡± ¡°Tsk, I didn¡¯t take advantage of you.¡± John Junior put his arm around her shoulder and handed the ball to her.¡±¡±I can tell that you¡¯re in a bad mood. Do you want to play basketball with me? Playing basketball to vent his emotions would make him feel much better.¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t take it and just pushed him with a smile.¡±¡±Go fight it yourself.¡± ¡°Tsk, how disappointing.¡± John Junior snorted and let go of her. He bounced the ball and returned to the basketball hoop to continue shooting. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t notice that a car had just driven in from outside the Xu family¡¯s house. She didn¡¯t notice that the car had stopped at the parking lot next to the stadium. She also didn¡¯t notice that someone had come out of the car and looked in this direction. She looked at John Junior¡¯s flying figure under the basketball court and felt infected by his athletic cells. She couldn¡¯t help but laugh as she sat beside him, and she felt much better. John Junior suddenly turned to look at her and smiled back at her when he saw her smiling. This entire scene was witnessed by everyone but Zuo Yue did not notice it. On the parking lot, Ainte, who had followed Xu Chengfeng out early in the morning, looked in that direction. Then, he looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had only seen everything with his eyes and remained calm. He couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±Boss, your niece is quite popular. That kid seems to have a good relationship with her.¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t say anything. Just as Ainte was itching to go over and play basketball with him, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you going to meet someone at the Sweet Hotel in the afternoon?¡± When Ainte thought of the important matters he had to attend to, he paused for a moment and turned to look at Xu Chengfeng.¡±Boss, aren¡¯t you coming with us?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but from his expression, it seemed that he did not plan to go out again this afternoon. Xu Chengfeng had already planned to fill up his schedule this morning and would not return until nightfall. It was rare for Boss to change his mind midway. Ainte looked meaningfully at the young man and woman who were smiling at each other on the court. He smiled and turned back to the car. Two minutes later, the car drove away. Only then did Zuo Yue notice the sound of a car coming from the parking lot. She was about to look over when she suddenly heard John Junior¡¯s low cry. She immediately looked at John Junior, only to see that for some reason, his hand had tilted, and the basketball that he was about to throw suddenly fell far to the side. John Junior turned around and was about to pick up the basketball, but he only took two quick steps in that direction when he suddenly saw something and stopped. Zuo Yue followed his line of sight and turned her head. She was shocked to see Xu Chengfeng, who had returned at some point, standing outside the court. He was holding the basketball that he had just run out of. The moment she saw Xu Chengfeng and the basketball in his hand, Zuo Yue immediately stood up. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze did not fall on her. It was as if he did not pay attention to her, or as if he was just passing by and picked up a ball that ran to his feet. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue muttered softly, but seeing that he was not looking at her, she did not walk over. John Junior was stunned for a moment before he smiled and walked over.¡±Thank you. My hand suddenly cramped and I didn¡¯t hold it firmly. The ball suddenly flew out.¡± Xu Chengfeng only smiled faintly. There was no other expression on his face except for the smile that was more appropriate. Before John Junior could get close, he casually patted the ball on the ground twice. When he saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s posture, John Junior looked at him in surprise. He didn¡¯t expect Xu Chengfeng to be a professional. In an instant, he said excitedly,¡±¡±Do you want to fight together?¡± Chapter 972 - Chapter 972: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sit Over (57) Chapter 972: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sit Over (57) Zuo Yue did not expect Xu Chengfeng to know how to play basketball. She did not expect him to be so handsome even after he casually bounced the ball twice. She could almost see a teenager who ran on the court ten years ago. She could almost see a former Ken. However, that feeling only lasted for a moment. Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly and threw the ball to John Junior. The moment John Junior caught the ball, he said calmly,¡±¡±No, I¡¯m old. Basketball is a sport that happened more than ten years ago.¡± Zuo Yue immediately muttered in her heart, twenty-seven years old is considered old? Are you trying to force Grandpa, who is in his seventies or eighties, into the ground? When his grandfather was in his sixties, he still played basketball and football very often. When Little John heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words, he immediately smiled and threw the ball in his direction. Xu Chengfeng caught the ball easily, but his eyes fell on Little John indifferently, with a hint of sizing and a subtle sneer. ¡°Looking at your movements and posture, even if you haven¡¯t played basketball for ten years, you¡¯re probably still a martial artist. Do you want to play a few rounds together?¡±John Junior¡¯s motor nerves were already burning. Zuo Yue had been sitting beside him and did not get up to play with him. It was not easy for him to meet someone who could play basketball, so he still wanted to play with her. Xu Chengfeng played with the ball in his hand, but he still stood by the side of the court and did not walk into the court. He was a little far away from the basketball hoop, but his gaze only swept in the direction of the basketball hoop. He casually made a starting gesture, and Zuo Yue was immediately surprised. The moment he threw the ball in the direction of the basketball hoop, his gaze followed the ball in a beautiful arc in the air. ¡°Bang!¡± The basketball went in! This distance! This angle! Was Xu Chengfeng the God of Ball ten years ago? He actually threw it so accurately? John Junior was also stunned on the spot. After a long time, he came back to his senses and his eyes were filled with admiration for Xu Chengfeng.¡±Oh my god!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not take Little John¡¯s gaze seriously. After he noticed Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze, he turned his eyes and glanced at her indifferently. He ignored Little John¡¯s existence and walked straight towards her. When Xu Chengfeng approached, he could hear his own heartbeat, like a drum, until he stood in front of himself, she was even more at a loss for a moment, he could only be so stiff, looking at him, good for a long time, he could only squeeze out a very stiff sentence from his mouth: ¡°Uncle, you¡¯re so handsome when you play basketball¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng, however, did not mind. He only glanced at her indifferently, then glanced sideways at John Junior from the corner of his eye. It was as if he was asking her with his eyes, what was her relationship with that kid? Zuo Yue roughly understood his gaze and quickly explained,¡±¡±He¡¯s John Junior, Uncle John¡¯s son. Uncle John¡¯s family will be visiting Grandpa at the Xu family today. My mother should have mentioned it to you, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer her. He merely glanced at her, who had specially dressed herself up today. With one hand in his trouser pocket, he stood in front of her without saying a word or leaving. Zuo Yue could only see the clouds in the distant mountains in his dark eyes, but she did not know what he was thinking. She only instinctively thought about what he had said last night. Perhaps if there was something ambiguous between her and John Junior, Uncle would feel that her thoughts were not on him. Perhaps he would be more relieved and would not think that she was causing him trouble. Hence, she only blinked for a moment before smiling and saying,¡±¡±My mom wants me to get to know John Jr. better.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her and raised his eyebrows.¡±How familiar?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve always liked John Junior. He went to England to study, and now that he¡¯s back, my mother probably thinks that I¡¯m already 18 years old and should have a boyfriend by my side, so she specially asked me to get closer to John Junior.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s words were more or less deliberate. Before Xu Chengfeng could say anything, John Junior walked over while spinning the basketball on his fingertips. He said excitedly,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, who is this gentleman? Could it be that your grandfather hired a private basketball coach from outside? If he played so well, he should be a coach, right?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched, and she immediately glanced at John Junior as if she was looking at an idiot.¡±¡±This is my uncle. He¡¯s my grandfather¡¯s biological son, okay?¡± ¡°Uncle?¡± John Junior was also surprised.¡± ¡°Let me formally introduce you.¡± In order to break the strange awkwardness in her heart, Zuo Yue avoided Xu Chengfeng¡¯s inexplicably deep gaze. She cleared her throat and said,¡±This is John Junior. This is my little uncle, Xu Chengfeng.¡± Because of Zuo Yue¡¯s way of introduction, Xu Chengfeng still glanced at John Junior politely, but his eyes were calm and indifferent. He did not intend to continue greeting the kid. John Junior said with a surprised look,¡±¡±Uncle? So it was Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle! Uncle, do you want to play basketball with me? Your basketball skills are too good!¡± Hearing John Junior praise and admire her uncle so much, Zuo Yue felt a little proud. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold because the kid also called him uncle. After John Junior threw the ball into his arms, Xu Chengfeng threw the ball back to him in a refusal and said calmly,¡±¡±I haven¡¯t touched this thing for many years, so I¡¯m not very interested.¡± Little John was a little disappointed to be rejected so thoroughly, but he still said happily,¡±¡±Then how about you give me some guidance from the side?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. Zuo Yue felt that it would be really awkward if Little John was left hanging. She quickly raised her hand and pulled Xu Chengfeng to sit on the chair.¡±Alright, alright, we¡¯ll watch you play!¡± John Junior could tell that Zuo Yue was helping him ease the awkwardness. He immediately smiled at her again, and Zuo Yue smiled back at him. Xu Chengfeng saw this scene from such a close distance. His expression did not change, but he coldly pulled the small hand that was still on his arm away. Zuo Yuegeng suddenly moved backward because of the force in her hands. She sat down next to Xu Chengfeng. She was stunned for a moment. She saw that Little John had already started to perform his shooting again, but in her eyes, she was still thinking about Xu Chengfeng¡¯s casual shot from so far away from the court. Such a handsome figure made her feel even more uncomfortable. Xu Chengfeng was sitting beside her. The chair was very short and the two of them were sitting very close to each other. She only needed to tilt her head slightly to breathe in his scent. Also, he was wearing an iron-gray suit and a matching windbreaker today. The dark red tie made him look very handsome. When she thought of his posture when he was playing, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart pounded. Chapter 973 - Chapter 973: Im Accompanying You (58) Chapter 973: I¡¯m Accompanying You (58) ¡°Uncle, let¡¯s go back to Boston tomorrow.¡± ¡°You like this kind?¡± Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voices sounded almost at the same time. When they finished speaking, both of them paused slightly. Zuo Yue turned to look at Xu Chengfeng in surprise. Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly.¡±Returning to Boston so soon? Are you willing to part with this kid?¡± Zuo Yue blinked and suddenly smiled.¡±¡±Uncle, are you misunderstanding something? John Jr. and I are just friends. Even if my mother wants me to get closer to him, you can see that he¡¯s still a big boy.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows but did not say anything else. He turned to look at the figure jumping back and forth under the basketball hoop and said calmly,¡±¡±But you¡¯re indeed at the age where you should have a good relationship.¡± Just now, Zuo Yue had suspected that her uncle might have thought that there was something going on between her and John Junior, so he was a little jealous. Before she could get over that strange thought, Xu Chengfeng poured a bucket of cold water on her again. It turned out that he was not explaining that she had a boyfriend or that there was someone else by her side. ¡°Yes, I think so.¡± Zuo Yue responded and did not say anything else. However, Xu Chengfeng was sitting right next to her. He was so close that she could see his handsome side profile when she turned her head. She could clearly see the faint blue veins on his neck. He was so close that the pleasant smell on his body kept entering her nose. She was so close that her heart was beating so violently that she could not calm down. However, Zuo Yue still sat beside him, unwilling to leave even though she knew that she was not his friend. Even though she did not know what to do in this awkward situation, she felt as if she had the whole world just by sitting beside him. ¡°My mom has already agreed to let us go back to Boston tomorrow. My mom is already very grateful that you¡¯re willing to stay at the Xu family¡¯s house for two more days because of me, so she¡¯s allowing us to leave tomorrow.¡±As Zuo Yue spoke, she looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression. However, she saw that his expression was indifferent and did not show any sorrow or joy or any unnecessary expression because he was leaving or staying. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± ¡°Focus.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked in the direction of the basketball hoop.¡±Don¡¯t you like watching football?¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at John Junior and suddenly smiled. She suddenly whispered into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s ear,¡±¡±I don¡¯t like to watch. He¡¯s not good at basketball. It¡¯s already good enough for him to score five out of ten shots. It¡¯s my mom who asked me to walk and chat with him, so I¡¯ve been sitting here?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her indifferently.¡±¡±I saw that you were smiling very happily just now.¡± Zuo Yue looked into his eyes and asked,¡±¡±Then if I really like him, will you, uncle¡­¡± However, before she could finish her sentence, Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned his head away from her and said coldly,¡±¡±It has nothing to do with me.¡± He stood up and walked out of the court. Zuo Yue sat in her original position in a daze. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xu Chengfeng leave just like that. He did not even have the intention of turning around to look at them again. But he clearly just Ming Ming suddenly walked over and sat beside her. He was talking to her patiently and pulled her to sit beside him. Could it be that all of this had nothing to do with him? Was she really the only one who had feelings that she shouldn¡¯t have? ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± John Junior suddenly ran over. Where¡¯s Uncle?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Gone? Just leave like this? I wanted to ask him to give me some pointers. I wanted him to teach me how to shoot so easily. The position he was standing at just now was clearly the most difficult place to shoot, but he could shoot so accurately¡­¡± John Junior said as he played with the ball in his hand.¡±The weather is a little cold. Do you want to go back?¡± ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go back.¡± John Junior shrugged. It seemed that she really didn¡¯t like watching the game. He threw the ball away and left the court with Zuo Yue. When she was walking back, Zuo Yue started to lose her composure again. Little John saw that she had something on her mind and did not say much. He only looked around and did not see Xu Chengfeng. He did not know where he had gone, so he suddenly said,¡±I feel that although your uncle is cold, he seems to care about you a lot. You should have a good relationship with him, right?¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at him.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple?¡± John Junior raised his eyebrows. You don¡¯t know that after they drove back, your uncle got out of the car and watched us from outside the stadium for a while. At first, I only noticed that there were people outside, but I didn¡¯t think too much of it. After all, I don¡¯t know all the people in the Xu family.¡± As he spoke, John Junior moved closer to Zuo Yue and continued,¡±¡±Then I saw him suddenly walk over. I really didn¡¯t expect it at that time.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t think of what? I didn¡¯t expect that someone who looks like an elite in society would be better than you at throwing a basketball?¡±Zuo Yue said with a smile. ¡°Tsk.¡± John Junior rolled his eyes at her.¡± I didn¡¯t expect your uncle to be so bored as to sit beside you and watch me play. Although I could feel that he wasn¡¯t looking at me at all, I didn¡¯t expect him to have the time to sit there with you for so long.¡± Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks, as if something had risen in her heart. She said absent-mindedly,¡±¡±He was looking in your direction the whole time. Why didn¡¯t he see you play?¡± ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know whether you watched me play or not? Your uncle is just sitting there with you, so I think you must have a very good relationship with him.¡± Zuo Yue stood still and did not move. Instead, she suddenly turned to look in the direction of the court and then in the direction where Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure had long disappeared. A sense of joy welled up in her heart. Uncle didn¡¯t hate her that much. He actually liked her, right? ¡°Hey, Zuo Yue, what are you laughing at?¡±John Junior glanced at her and asked in confusion. Zuo Yue, however, was smiling with a mysterious face and did not tell him. Instead, she suddenly put her hands behind her back happily and swaggered into the front hall in a good mood. ¡°Sigh! Hey! Are you women all crazy? Just now, you looked like you had a lot on your mind, but suddenly, for some reason, the dark clouds turned sunny? What¡¯s so happy about it? Tell me so that I can be happy too¡­¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you!¡± ¡°How is it okay? It¡¯s obvious that I made you laugh!¡±John Junior pestered Zuo Yue into the front hall. Chapter 974 - Chapter 974: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hateful Little Girl (59) Chapter 974: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hateful Little Girl (59) In front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor of the Xu family¡¯s main hall, Xu Chengfeng was talking on the phone while looking at Zuo Yue, who was chatting and laughing with Little John outside for a long time. ¡°Boss, the people at the Russian border have started to get restless again. In the past half a month, there have been businessmen who have been killed by us at the Russian border. The number of casualties has already exceeded double digits, and it has been getting worse recently.¡± ¡°Have you found out what the other party is?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s the group of firearms thieves that we surrounded last time. They bribed those assassins and fugitives at the Russian border who had never been on our side. Because they couldn¡¯t resist our forces, they could only secretly kill people to attract your attention.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked out of the window expressionlessly until Zuo Yue and John Junior had entered the main hall. He slowly turned around and said in a cold and deep voice,¡±¡±Control the situation around the Russian border. After I deal with a few projects here, I¡¯ll go back and take a look.¡± ¡± Boss, you¡¯re already in the process of clearing your name. They¡¯re trying to force you to appear so that you won¡¯t be able to clear your name. If you come back¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m just going back to take a look. Don¡¯t make a fuss. They can¡¯t do anything to me.¡± ¡°.. Those people have probably found out about your movements. I¡¯m worried that if they don¡¯t find out that you¡¯re back at this stage, they¡¯ll turn their attention to the United States.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything else. After he hung up the phone, the door to the second floor suddenly opened. Xu Yuan walked in.¡± Everyone from the John family is here. Zuo Yue and Little John have returned to the main hall. Let¡¯s go down and have lunch together. Dad is resting in his room now. After all, you¡¯re half the owner of the Xu family. Now that Dad isn¡¯t here, you¡¯re the main owner of the Xu family. It¡¯s time for you to show up and have lunch together.¡±¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xu Chengfeng replied indifferently. Just as Xu Yuan was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly said,¡±¡± Although Zuo Yue is already eighteen years old and no longer a child, if she has yet to have an accurate understanding of her personal feelings and has yet to meet the person she truly likes, you¡¯d better not impose your subjective consciousness on her. That John Junior is not suitable for her.¡± Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Xu Chengfeng and immediately smiled.¡±Did the little girl complain to you?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and did not answer. ¡°Hey, that girl.¡± Xu Yuan smiled.¡± I was just joking with her. How could I bear to let my own daughter get married so early? Besides, I¡¯m not in a hurry if she¡¯s not married at the age of 28. Besides, she¡¯s only 18.¡± Little John is also a childish person. I saw that Zuo Yue seemed to have something on her mind after she came back this time, so I wanted to let the two children talk more together. I didn¡¯t think too much about it. It was Zuo Yue who thought too much.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows twitched.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Previously, she didn¡¯t even care about my daughter. She was already impatient to help me take care of her. How long has it been? She¡¯s already concerned about my daughter¡¯s relationship matters?¡±Xu Yuan asked jokingly. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± There¡¯s a child who is too clingy by my side. I can¡¯t completely look away from him as time passes. It¡¯s inevitable that I have to be more concerned about him.¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Our Zuo Yue is so cute and beautiful. Even you, Chengfeng, must think that she¡¯s pretty cute, let alone other boys. The relationship between uncle and niece will slowly grow stronger.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s original intention was to let him take care of Zuo Yue so that he could have a deeper relationship with his family and the Xu family. Now, it seemed that it was a little more effective. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly because of her words. He snorted and said,¡±¡±Yes, very cute.¡± ¡°So what if she¡¯s cute? What are you snorting for?¡±Xu Yuan smiled happily.¡± Let¡¯s go. The dishes are probably already on the table. If you don¡¯t go now, your cute niece will go hungry.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng did not comment on Xu Yuan¡¯s inexplicable motherly love. Zuo Yue¡¯s small appearance was reflected in his mind. Cute? She was clearly a hateful little girl. ***** On the return trip the next day, Ainte didn¡¯t come to be the driver. It seemed that Ainte had something to do and had to stay in Los Angeles for the time being. Hence, Xu Chengfeng was the one driving the car back while Zuo Yue was sitting in the passenger seat, sleeping and waking up intermittently. It was mainly because she had run to her mother¡¯s room to sleep last night. Her mother had hugged her and talked to her about her uncle, about his background, and about the mistakes that Grandpa had made more than twenty years ago. That was why Zuo Yue did not sleep well last night. She had been sleeping non-stop ever since she got into the car. Xu Chengfeng did not call her either. After sleeping for a long time, she opened her eyes and looked outside. Then, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who was still focused on driving. She suddenly smiled and said,¡±Uncle, are you tired? Do you want me to drive?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Xu Chengfeng said lightly. ¡°Are you really not tired? I know how to drive. I have a driver¡¯s license. It¡¯s in my bag, really¡­¡± ¡°How long has it been since you last drove?¡± ¡°Well, after I passed the test, I wanted something new. I secretly drove my dad¡¯s car out in the Zuo family¡¯s room, but I only drove it for more than a month and never touched a car again until now.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked ahead and said to her in a lukewarm voice,¡±¡±I can even avoid fatal gunshot wounds. After so many years of bloodshed, I finally managed to save my life. I don¡¯t want to die in your hands.¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. She immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡± Tsk, are you looking down on me? Even if I haven¡¯t driven for a long time, I¡¯m not a killer on the road. I got straight A¡¯s in all my exams back then.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not pay any attention to the ¡®Rights¡¯. Seeing that he did not accompany her on such a boring topic, Zuo Yue felt bored even though she had slept enough. She picked up her phone and casually flipped through it. Suddenly, she turned to look at him. Yesterday, John Junior said that when Xu Chengfeng sat next to her, he did not really watch the game. Just because of this, she felt that his feelings for her weren¡¯t that distant, so she quietly turned her phone to him and secretly took a photo of him, wanting to save it. ¡°I deleted it.¡± Just as she was about to turn off the phone screen with a smile, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold voice suddenly sounded. Zuo Yue froze for a moment. She did not expect him to actually discover it. She immediately pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±I just randomly took a picture. I mainly wanted to take a picture of the scenery outside your car window. You¡¯re blocking my view.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned but did not say anything else. However, it was obvious that he did not like taking photos. He did not like it very much. However, Zuo Yue was throwing a tantrum now. She found a photoshop software on her phone and opened Xu Chengfeng¡¯s photo. She deliberately began to make a bunch of cute little pictures on his cold face, put cat ears on his head, and made a mustache on his face. Chapter 975 - Chapter 975: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Ambiguous Distance (60) Chapter 975: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Ambiguous Distance (60) Zuo Yue played with his photo and laughed secretly. She edited the photo into a non-mainstream sexy cat-like picture and said,¡±¡±It¡¯s so beautiful! I want to post it online! You¡¯ll definitely be popular tomorrow!¡± As she spoke, she casually clicked on the social media page, but she was still considering whether she should really post it. If she really posted it, her uncle would definitely be angry, right? Before she could make a decision, Xu Chengfeng suddenly held the steering wheel firmly with one hand and reached out his other hand to her.¡±Give me your phone.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She suddenly held the phone tightly in her hand and hid it in her bosom like a hen protecting her chick. She rolled her eyes at him.¡±Why? I only took one photo of you and even photoshopped it. Is there a need to be so stingy that you won¡¯t even let me play with one photo?¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± Don¡¯t mess around. Remove the photos and don¡¯t send them out.¡±¡± ¡°Why? If you don¡¯t let me play with the photos, then let me play with you?¡±Zuo Yue said it on purpose. She knew that she was deliberately being willful to anger him, but she still hugged her phone even more arrogantly and refused to give it to him. In front of them was a resting area in the middle of the highway. Xu Chengfeng quickly controlled the steering wheel with one hand and drove the car into the parking space of the resting area. His other hand had already grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand.¡±Stop fooling around, delete it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not deleting it!¡± Initially, Zuo Yue did not really intend to send it out. She just wanted to make a scene. However, when she saw that Xu Chengfeng seemed to really mind, she was instantly unhappy. Once her rebellious mentality appeared, she could not care less about rationality. Anyway, if he really cared about it, it meant that his photo couldn¡¯t be sent out casually. However, this also proved that he was definitely hiding something from her. ¡°Do you want to delete it?¡± The car had already stopped. ¡°No!¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and tried to snatch her phone away. Zuo Yue was shocked. She protected the phone tightly and did not give it to her. She even placed the phone in front of her chest. Xu Chengfeng frowned when he saw her actions.¡±¡±Do you really think I can¡¯t do anything to you?¡± ¡°Anyway, I won¡¯t delete it!¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. I don¡¯t even have a photo of you getting rid of me on my phone. I only have this one.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression darkened. He suddenly grabbed her wrist with one hand and reached out to her chest with the other, forcefully taking the phone away. ¡°Hey, hey! Xu Chengfeng, you¡¯re acting like a hooligan to your own niece, do you know that?¡± Zuo Yue immediately pounced on him. Her entire body was on top of him. Because she did not control the distance and strength well, her entire small face was almost stuck to his face. She lay in his arms and stared at him at a close distance. Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.¡± Zuo Yue laid in his arms without any fear and said provocatively,¡±¡±If you have the ability, why don¡¯t you try being a hooligan? Believe it or not, I¡¯ll tell my mother tomorrow that she handed me over to a shameless hooligan and¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a tight grip on her waist. Xu Chengfeng had already grabbed her waist. Suddenly, he turned around and pressed her back into the front passenger seat. Just as she sat back down on the leather chair, he pressed down on her directly. It was still so close, but it was his pressure¡­ Zuo Yue¡¯s breathing stopped. She looked at the handsome face in front of her in disbelief. He was staring at her at such a close distance. His dark eyes stared coldly at the shock in her eyes. Zuo Yue did not even dare to breathe too hard. The two of them were too close to each other. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s aura was like a black cloud pressing down on the city, making her panic. However, at such an ambiguous distance, their breaths were almost intertwined. She actually had a faint trace of anticipation. Zuo Yue looked into his eyes and did not dare to move. At this distance, if either of them moved, his lips would definitely be pressed against hers¡­ The feeling of her heart beating like thunder invaded her rationality and nerves. Zuo Yue looked into his eyes stiffly. However, after Xu Chengfeng stared at her coldly for a moment, he fastened her seatbelt again and stopped her from moving. Hearing the sound of the seatbelt being buckled, Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. The person in front of her suddenly retreated in front of her. The breath that lingered in her nose disappeared in an instant, leaving only an empty and cold space. Zuo Yue stared blankly at the man who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat. Then, she saw him turn on his phone screen. On the screen was a photo of him that had been photoshopped. In addition to the various non-mainstream kitten pictures, there were also pink heart-shaped words that had been embellished-I like you. Although the words were just a simple sticker, Xu Chengfeng frowned slightly when he saw the words. He then turned to look at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue sat in her original position awkwardly and looked at him innocently.¡±¡±That¡¯s just a sticker¡­¡± Although, she really wanted to say this. However, he was her uncle, and they were separated by blood. Even if she could not control her inexplicable infatuation with him, at least she could not say it out loud. She could not let him have no reason to continue taking care of her, and she could not force him away¡­ At least she could still be with him in the car alone. At least she could still be by his side. However, after she finished speaking, Xu Chengfeng immediately deleted the photo and the photo before it was edited. Zuo Yue looked at him in confusion. I was just joking.¡± After confirming that he had deleted all the photos, he deleted all the photos that he had deleted. He did not even give her a chance to retrieve them. At the same time, Xu Chengfeng said coldly,¡±With my identity, it¡¯s not suitable for me to keep such a photo on your phone.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and said,¡±It will bring you death.¡±¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the phone back into Zuo Yue¡¯s arms under her shocked expression. Zuo Yuejiang sat still. She picked up her phone but did not open it again. She knew that he had already deleted everything, but the sentence that brought her death still made her tremble. Her voice trembled as she asked,¡±The KG Group has such a huge influence in the business world. You don¡¯t lack money or power, so why must you have connections with the underworld?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. Instead, he sneered and continued driving on the highway. Zuo Yue turned to look at his cold side profile. She gripped her phone tightly and whispered,¡±¡±Actually, I¡¯m not very afraid. It¡¯s just like that day when a car followed us back. Because you¡¯re by my side, I¡¯m not afraid at all. Uncle, you¡¯ll protect me, right?¡± Chapter 976 - Chapter 976: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Taking the Initiate (61) Chapter 976: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Taking the Initiate (61) Perhaps her ambition was too obvious, so Xu Chengfeng did not answer. However, along the way, Zuo Yue felt inexplicably happy because she was gradually admitting the feelings that she should not have in her heart. It was as if he would not necessarily avoid her if she really exposed all those feelings¡­ Although only women were sensitive, men might know how to read people¡¯s minds better than women, but they knew how to hide and stay calm. ***** After returning to Boston, Xu Chengfeng sent Zuo Yue home and left the house. He did not tell Zuo Yue his whereabouts, but Zuo Yue did not ask much. Just like that, she hugged him and waited for him to come back every day. The happy feeling of him suddenly coming back was also very good. After all, he was her youngest uncle. No matter how much she relied on him and wanted to spend more time with him, he had no reason to really cooperate with her. This was enough¡­ Thinking about it this way, the four long years of studying in Boston didn¡¯t seem to be so torturous, because life had expectations and a secret that couldn¡¯t be told to others. After Zuo Yue called her mother to tell her that she was safe, she went to take a shower and cleaned herself up. Then, she held the computer and played games at home. It was past seven o¡¯clock in the evening, but Xu Chengfeng still did not come back. The feeling of disappointment and anticipation made her sit on the sofa in a daze. What should I do if I accidentally like someone I shouldn¡¯t like¡­ There was anticipation, but disappointment as well. Looking at the dark sky outside, Zuo Yue raised her hand and held her chin. Anyways, his uncle knew that she had some feelings for him, so he went out to hide as soon as he came back. Instead of being bored at home alone, she might as well take the initiative to attack. She could not live a nightmare at the age of eighteen. At most, she would just have to be someone else¡¯s nightmare. ***** The new technology building that the KG Group had acquired. In the president¡¯s office, rows of computer screens displayed data that kept changing. The completely modern office became even quieter because of the night. Xu Chengfeng looked at the dossier beside him expressionlessly. He was dealing with some of the remaining problems of the newly acquired companies. Suddenly, the phone on his desk rang. Xu Chengfeng took it and heard his secretary¡¯s voice.¡±¡±Mr. Xu, there¡¯s a lady named Chries looking for you. She says she¡¯s the person in charge of the New York branch of KP Corporation.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand, which was flipping through the dossier, paused slightly and glanced at the time. Was Chries looking for him at this time? ¡°President Xu, do you want to meet him?¡± ¡°Let her in.¡± Not long after the call ended, Chries had already entered the office. When he pushed open the office door and walked in, he took a look at the office environment and immediately smiled. ¡°Ken, I really admire your patience to come to such a small tech company instead of the office at the HQ of the GN Corporation.¡± The woman¡¯s voice was soft and intimate, but Xu Chengfeng did not seem to hear it. He closed the file and looked at her indifferently.¡±What are you doing here?¡± Chries smiled.¡± I was driving by and saw that the light in your office was still on. I thought I¡¯d drop by. I didn¡¯t expect you to really be here.¡± Didn¡¯t you say you were going to Los Angeles a few days ago? When did you come back?¡± ¡°Today.¡± ¡°Today? He came straight to the company without resting after just returning? You can just hand over such a newly acquired technology company to other people in charge. Is there a need for you to work so hard?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not continue the topic with her, but suddenly asked. Chries paused for a moment before smiling.¡±Do you want to have dinner together? Last time, you agreed to accompany me to the business street, but you abandoned me because of your niece. I finally got to spend some time with you during the signing ceremony, but you left after the signing ceremony. I didn¡¯t even have the chance to have dinner with you¡­¡± ¡°Chries.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.¡±¡±I think you should know very well that we are only working together. There is nothing else. When I accompanied you to the business street, it was because my subordinates accidentally spilled coffee on your dress that day. In order to express my apology, I accompanied you for a walk. After that, I met my niece and asked you to leave first. I¡¯m sorry about that, but it doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with dinner.¡± Chries smiled, not showing any signs of frustration at his obvious rejection and distancing.¡±Ken, even though we¡¯re just working together, we¡¯ve known each other for many years, haven¡¯t we? When we were in Russia, we even¡­¡± ¡°Nothing happened to me before.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was cold.¡±At the beginning, although I did drink a lot, I was still somewhat sober afterwards. Although you were lying beside me, it didn¡¯t mean that we really did anything.¡±¡± Chries ¡®expression froze.¡±¡±Ken, you¡­¡± ¡± I¡¯ve been in a relationship with you for the past six months. You should know the reason behind it. The head of the branch of the KG Corporation shouldn¡¯t be so emotional. Besides, we¡¯ve never had a real relationship before, and we¡¯ve already broken up for a year. Chries, we¡¯re only working together now, nothing else.¡± ¡°Ken, are you really that heartless? Since you admit that we dated before, who would believe that you didn¡¯t even kiss me seriously, let alone touch me? I took the initiative the few times, but you avoided me many times. I didn¡¯t even get a decent kiss.¡± Chries could no longer remain calm.¡±Yes, we broke up, but now we¡¯re just ex-boyfriends. You¡¯re not even willing to have dinner with me?¡± ¡°I thought you knew what I meant.¡±Xu Chengfeng suddenly frowned. ¡°What do I know?¡± Chries looked at his handsome face under the office light.¡±¡± All I know is that I¡¯ve liked you for so many years. From being an intern at the KP Group, I¡¯ve blossomed in front of you step by step, and I¡¯ve reached where I am today. My status and glory were all given to me by you, but you¡¯ve never given me any feelings¡­¡± ¡°Even if we¡¯ve been in contact before, it¡¯s only on the surface. You¡¯ve never given me any feelings. Now I just want to invite you to have dinner with me. Ken, is this too much?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly, his gaze seemingly sweeping in the direction behind her. She didn¡¯t know what he saw, but he suddenly changed his tone.¡±What do you want to eat?¡± When ChChries heard that, the sadness on his face disappeared. Instead, he smiled and said,¡±¡±There¡¯s an Italian restaurant on the business street we went to last time. I think the environment is not bad. I¡¯ve checked it online before, and it seems to have a good reputation.¡± Chapter 977 - Chapter 977: Chengfeng Asks Yue-Is She Her Niece (62) Chapter 977: Chengfeng Asks Yue-Is She Her Niece (62) Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze paused for a moment before he suddenly nodded. Chries was pleasantly surprised. Why did the man who had rejected her so coldly and even told her about their relationship suddenly agree to have dinner with her? He even nodded to her request? Chries looked at Xu Chengfeng in surprise, only to see him looking at the glass window by the office door. ¡°Ken, then we¡­¡± Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that he was looking at her calmly. She instinctively turned to look at the glass window. The moment she saw Xiaxi, she looked a little confused. Wasn¡¯t the girl standing outside the door his niece whom he saw on the commercial street last time? Why was she here? Zuo Yue was standing outside the office. After she left the villa, she went all the way to the company to look for Xu Chengfeng. After all, she had just returned today and he was already using the excuse of being busy. She felt that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. No matter how busy he was, he could not drive for a whole day and still have to go out to work. He did not even have time to go back and rest. Sure enough, he¡¯s in the company of becoming a living and being a living However, that woman with a sexy body and a hot body¡­ Zuo Yue shifted her gaze and saw the woman¡¯s face clearly when she turned around. Zuo Yue¡¯s heart sank when she finally recognized the woman. It was not the first time she saw her. Did Uncle really have a girlfriend? That woman¡­Was she really his girlfriend? Moreover, Xu Chengfeng was smiling gently at the woman. Although it was very faint, at least he was smiling. ¡°Is she your niece?¡± Chries felt that the girl¡¯s gaze was a little hostile, but it was not obvious. The hostility was only fleeting, but Chries still turned to look at Xu Chengfeng with confusion. Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He simply picked up his suit jacket and stood up.¡±Didn¡¯t you want to go for dinner? Let¡¯s go.¡± Chries did not expect him to wake up so quickly. She thought that he would only be merciful enough to accompany her for dinner after he was done with his work. She looked at him in surprise.¡±Ken, then you¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear what she was about to say. He put his coat in his arms and turned to walk out of the office. The moment he opened the door and walked out, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was also standing there like a statue. She did not knock on the door and did not say anything. She just stared at Xu Chengfeng as if she wanted to see through his black eyes that seemed to be covered by fog to see what he was thinking. Unfortunately, she failed. Xu Chengfeng did not intend to let her understand. He only looked at her indifferently and said,¡±We were just about to go for dinner. Why are you here at this time? Should we go together? At this moment, Chries also walked out and naturally put his hand into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm. He turned to look at the stunned little girl with a smile. Although she was his niece, he felt that the way the little girl looked at him was not quite right, so he instinctively stood closer to Xu Chengfeng and smiled.¡±Yeah, you¡¯re Ken¡¯s niece, right? The sky was already dark. Why would he suddenly come to the company?¡± Zuo Yue came back to her senses and said faintly,¡±¡±I saw that Uncle drove for such a long time from Los Angeles and didn¡¯t rest, so I specially came over to take a look. I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯ll overwork himself.¡± Chries raised an eyebrow.¡±Ken, did you drive back? Didn¡¯t you have an old injury on your shoulder? Even if you were to drive, you wouldn¡¯t be able to drive for more than three hours straight, right? Driving back from Los Angeles? How long will that take?¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t say anything, but his expression darkened because of what Chries had said. He turned around and walked towards the elevator. Because she was holding his arm, it looked like Xu Chengfeng was too lazy to talk to Zuo Yue and just dragged her away. Chries was a little happy, but his niece, who was left behind, did not say anything. ¡°Ken, your niece, she¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s not a child, how come she¡¯s here, how come she knows how to go back, do you want her to have dinner with us?¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t turn his head around and walked into the elevator. His cold voice was so clear. Zuo Yue looked at their figures and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. When she heard from Chries that he could not drive for too long due to an old injury on his shoulder, she felt a little guilty. She thought about how Xu Chengfeng did not rest at all on the way back. She also thought about how the burn on his back was probably not fully healed yet. But what did his attitude and words mean? He had already politely asked her if she wanted to have dinner with him, but now he said that he wanted her to have dinner with him? Did he think that she was unnecessary? Chries and Xu Chengfeng had already entered the elevator. The elevator doors had already closed. Zuo Yue was too quiet, so the lights in the corridor gradually dimmed. When she turned around and took a step to the side, the dim corridor instantly became bright again. At this moment of brightness, Zuo Yue turned to look at the office through the French glass window. After looking at it for a while, she turned around and entered another staff elevator. Zuo Yue¡¯s mind was in a mess as she looked at the constantly changing numbers in the elevator. However, one thing she was sure of was that if her uncle really had a girlfriend, then she would not be able to be willful. Initially, she wanted to be more domineering and take the initiative to pester him, even if it was just a symbolic companionship. However, since he already had a girlfriend, her starting point was not quite right. If she deliberately caused trouble among them, she was afraid that she would really lose her morals. When they walked out of the tech company, they turned around and saw Chries holding Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand intimately. The two of them did not drive but went to hail a taxi. Did this mean that Uncle would drink tonight? Where to go after drinking? Where to go with Chries¡­ Zuo Yue retracted her gaze abruptly and bit her lip lightly. However, she suddenly laughed mockingly at herself. When a taxi stopped in front of her, she got into the car and left. After Zuo Yue left, Chries, who had been holding Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm, whispered to him,¡±¡±Ken, your niece has already left.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not speak. ¡°He left with red eyes.¡± Chries added as she turned to look at him.¡±Is she really your niece? I feel that the way she looks at you doesn¡¯t look like¡­¡± ¡°You still want to go for dinner?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her. Chries moved her mouth, but suddenly, she smiled and pressed her lips against his arm even more intimately. Her voluptuous breasts rubbed against his arm as she said gently,¡±¡±Of course I have to eat. It wasn¡¯t easy for you to agree to have dinner with me. How can I let go of such an opportunity?¡± Chapter 978 - Chapter 978: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-High Fever (63) Chapter 978: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-High Fever (63) In the three-kilometer sports field behind the Medical University, because the weather was getting colder in early October, the temperature tonight had dropped to zero degrees. Therefore, there was no one else on the sports field except Zuo Yue. In the darkness, Zuo Yue had taken off her jacket after running a 3000-meter lap. She was only wearing a thin layer of white short-sleeved female T-shirt as she ran on the sports field. She rarely exercised like this, but after running for so long, her breathing was so heavy that she could barely keep up with her own rhythm. However, after sweating in the zero-degree weather, she could feel that her mood had recovered a lot, and she was no longer immersed in some emotions that she should not be able to extricate herself. Even if that person was not related to her by blood, she should not have any thoughts about him if he had a girlfriend by his side. Moreover, that person was her uncle. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and ran forward like a madman until she felt that her legs were so sore that they did not belong to her. Her feet did not feel like they belonged to her anymore. She felt that if she continued running, her legs would start to spasm. Only then did she slowly slow down and stagger to the place where her coat was placed. However, she did not wear her coat because she was covered in sweat. She sat down on the cold ground. He raised his head and looked at the moonlight in the sky. The moon was round and bright. Zuo Yue subconsciously took out her phone to look at the time and date. Although she was in the United States, Zuo Yue would occasionally celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th of August. After searching the Chinese calendar, she realized that it was indeed the 15th of August. She celebrated her birthday on the Gregorian calendar. She only celebrated her birthday on October 10th every year. Therefore, August 15th was not her birthday, but according to the Chinese calendar, today was her birthday. It seemed that she would be eighteen years old in a week or so. Zuo Yue raised her hand to support her chin and looked at the full moon in the sky. She did not expect that she would have such a rare moment of being alone on such a day of reunion. The cold wind blew past, as if it had invaded all the pores on her sweat-soaked body. She suddenly shivered. When she lifted the clothes on the ground, she still felt that her legs were as soft as cotton. If she could not stand steadily, she would feel as if she was floating on the spot. She sniffed again. The sweat on Zuo Yue¡¯s body had not dried yet. Even if it was cold, she did not want to wear a coat. She simply took her coat and walked out of the school¡¯s sports field. Moreover, because this place was not far from the villa, although she had no strength in her legs and walked very slowly, she could still walk for fifteen minutes. His body was too tired, so he didn¡¯t have the energy to think so much. In this moment, he felt that the person who shouldn¡¯t be in his heart seemed to have been driven out of his heart. His mind only wanted to sleep, and there was nothing else. Just as he walked out of the medical university and was about to cross the zebra crossing to the opposite side of the road, a few figures suddenly walked past him. One by one, the blondie suddenly pointed in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction and said in surprise,¡±¡±Oh my god, Brother Ruisheng, look at that person. Isn¡¯t that your junior Zuo Yue?¡± Yin Ruisheng looked in that direction and saw Zuo Yue standing there, ready to cross the road. ¡°Oh my god, why is she wearing so little? She¡¯s actually wearing short-sleeved clothes? I¡¯ve already put on my down coat, but I still feel cold.¡±The blonde was talking to another boy beside him. Yin Ruisheng had already walked quickly in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. The sweat on Zuo Yue¡¯s body had yet to dissipate. There was actually sweat entangled with her hair on her neck. Her hair stuck to her neck and she looked a little disheveled. However, anyone who approached her could clearly see that she had just exercised. Yin Ruisheng had just walked up behind her and noticed her condition. He immediately stepped forward and suddenly reached out to stop her from crossing the road. Zuo Yue paused and turned to look behind her. ¡°Why are you out alone so late at night?¡±Yin Ruisheng saw that she didn¡¯t seem to be in a good state of mind and immediately frowned.¡±¡±And you¡¯re wearing so little?¡± They saw that it was Yin Sheng. Their school was right next to the Medical University, not far away. It was not strange to see him here. Zuo Yue smiled.¡± Oh, it¡¯s you. I ran about 6000 meters on the sports field just now and sweated a lot. It was too hot, so I didn¡¯t wear a coat.¡±¡± As she spoke, she raised her hand to let him see the thick coat in her hand.¡±Then, I have a coat.¡± ¡°Put it on now. You¡¯re just sweating and you¡¯re still in the cold wind. Do you want to catch a cold?¡±Yin Ruisheng said as he took the jacket from her hand and draped it over her without a word. In the distance, the yellow-haired guy and another boy whispered in surprise,¡±Oh my god, Brother Ruisheng¡¯s boyfriend power is so explosive?¡± Zuo Yue also noticed their gazes. When she turned around and saw the yellow-haired guy and the others, she raised her hand and greeted them with a smile. Then, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Yin Ruisheng in front of her. She raised her hand and pushed the hair on her neck and forehead that was stuck with sweat to the side. Then, she smiled and said,¡±Alright, then I¡¯ll go back with my coat. It¡¯s already very late, so I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Yin Ruisheng wasn¡¯t displeased by her obvious desire to avoid him. That day at the bar, this girl would rather go with her uncle than go with her. He could tell that she didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of dating her for the time being. Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t force her, and he didn¡¯t ask for her phone number to look for her these days. But now that he saw her here, he couldn¡¯t help but go up and show concern. Seeing that Zuo Yue was only a little tired after exercising and not drunk or sober, Yin Ruisheng nodded.¡±¡±Do you live nearby? Do you need me to send you?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s very close. It¡¯s just in front.¡±Zuo Yue gave him a polite smile before turning around and leaving. Seeing Zuo Yue leave without looking back, Yin Ruisheng put one hand in his trouser pocket and looked at her slender back. He did not speak for a long time. Zuo Yue returned to the villa with her coat on. The villa was dark and there were no lights. Xu Chengfeng had not returned. It was already so late. It was obvious where he and his girlfriend were going. Zuo Yue stumbled into the villa with weak legs. She turned on the lights and threw her coat on the ground. She rushed into the bathroom because of the sweat on her body. Perhaps it was because the water in the bathroom was too hot, but she felt her vision darken when she took a shower. Before she fainted in the bathroom, she wrapped a towel around herself and staggered out. She raised her hand to pat her dizzy and swollen head as she staggered back to the bathroom. However, just as she walked to the sofa, her vision turned black. She did not even notice that she had kicked the paper basket by the coffee table and fell onto the sofa. Chapter 979 - Chapter 979: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Strange (64) Chapter 979: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Strange (64) ¡°Since you¡¯ve already agreed to have dinner with me, you should at least smile.¡± Chries cut the foie gras while looking at Xu Chengfeng, who was drinking the red wine slowly without eating a single bite. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.¡±¡±It¡¯s already good enough to eat with you. Why do you ask for so much?¡± Chries smiled and put down the cutlery in her hands. She whispered,¡±¡±Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t tell that you did it on purpose just now. Don¡¯t tell me that your little niece likes you?¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± Don¡¯t meddle in things that shouldn¡¯t be your business. You shouldn¡¯t talk about such things.¡±¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid? I¡¯m also a woman. Women can understand women the most.¡±¡±What I¡¯m curious about now is whether she¡¯s your niece or not. That shouldn¡¯t be the case. If it was her niece, how could she¡­¡± Chries ¡®voice suddenly stopped because of the cold glint in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes when he put down the wine glass. She knew Xu Chengfeng too well. She knew how cold and heartless he could be without batting an eyelid, and she understood his warning even more. ¡°I, I mean¡­¡± ¡± I think that girl is quite innocent,¡± Chries explained.¡± If you two aren¡¯t related by blood, would I be heartbroken?¡± But if you are related by blood¡­¡± At this point, Chries suddenly realized Xu Chengfeng¡¯s sudden change in attitude when he saw the little girl. He looked at him in shock as if he had discovered something extraordinary, but he did not continue his sentence. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze landed on her indifferently.¡±¡±Are you full?¡± Chries:¡±..¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the waiter who was passing by.¡±¡±The bill, please.¡± Chries ¡®eyes widened instantly.¡±Ken, do you have to burn the bridge after crossing it? I was very self-aware to cooperate with you just now.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her coldly.¡±¡±A shield should have the self-awareness of a shield. If you talk too much, you will only be thrown away.¡± Chries threw down the cutlery that she had just picked up. When she saw that Xu Chengfeng had already passed the cutlery to the Waiter, she was even more furious. She stood up and wanted to leave, but she knew Xu Chengfeng¡¯s temper. If she really turned around and left, he would not look for her. He didn¡¯t love her anyway. Chries suddenly felt that she had been subdued by this man, but he did not even look at her. When he suddenly agreed to it in the office, he must have noticed that the little girl was outside. Was he really uncle and niece? Or did he put on the clothes of a relative and take in a young girl? She looked like a student and was not Xu Chengfeng¡¯s type at all. He liked women who were knowledgeable, polite, and had the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, not those who looked like young girls. When she walked out of the restaurant, Chries glanced at Xu Chengfeng. Seeing that he was silent and had no intention of sending her home, she sighed.¡±Is there really no possibility between us?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her indifferently.¡± Chries rolled her eyes.¡±A year ago, I really thought of myself as your girlfriend. That¡¯s why I was jealous of any strange woman who appeared beside you. But I didn¡¯t do anything at that time. I just kept proving that I was your girlfriend in front of others. I didn¡¯t hurt anyone or bully anyone.¡± Xu Chengfeng snorted.¡± I was asking you to stop at the brink of death. Don¡¯t think about me that you shouldn¡¯t have. After all, I can¡¯t give you a response. It¡¯ll only waste our time.¡±¡± ¡°So you have the same attitude towards your little niece now? Let her rein in at the brink of the cliff?¡± ¡± To be honest, Ken, have you been chased by too many women since you were in your teens? Is that why you¡¯re so good at rejecting women? It¡¯s so sad and hopeless.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.¡± Compared to being heartless, I prefer the latter.¡±¡± ¡°What should I do? I seem to love you more and more¡­¡± Chries walked to his side and reached out to hold his arm. However, Xu Chengfeng moved his hand slightly and avoided her hand without batting an eyelid. She knew this would happen, but she still said with a disappointed expression,¡±¡±Men change their minds faster than women. Why would I fall for such a heartless man like you back then? I can¡¯t even find a better boyfriend than you now.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± I don¡¯t seem to be responsible for helping you find a boyfriend.¡±¡± Chries smiled, but this time, his smile was full of disappointment.¡±But Ken, can¡¯t you try it with me? I promise that I won¡¯t be jealous like before. I promise that I won¡¯t deliberately disturb your life again. I¡­¡± However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s response to her was to raise his hand and hail a taxi. As if he did not hear her, he said calmly,¡±Get in the car. I¡¯m going back to the company.¡± Chries ¡®voice paused, unable to say another word. In the end, he could only smile.¡±Ken, you¡­¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and signaled her to get into the car. Chries had no choice but to turn around and open the car door. When he got into the car, he rolled down the window and looked at Xu Chengfeng who was standing outside. He only had one hand in his trouser pocket and looked at her coldly. There was no disgust, no love, or even a friend. If it were not for her niece today, her dream of having dinner with Xu Chengfeng would not have come true. The taxi had already left. Xu Chengfeng turned around and hailed another taxi. Seeing that the other taxi was heading in the opposite direction, Chries sighed and took out her phone to make a call. ¡°Hey, help me find out who the little girl beside Ken is and what her relationship with Ken is.¡± ¡°That little girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old. She seems to be Chinese. Judging from her demeanor, she doesn¡¯t come from a small family.¡± ***** In the taxi, Xu Chengfeng remained silent. His phone was also very quiet. When he was about to reach the technology company, he glanced at his phone. It was already 10:30 pm. She got out of the car and walked into the company. When she returned to the office, she saw that Zuo Yue was nowhere to be seen. It had been a few hours. The little girl should have returned to the villa. But how could she keep her cool? After what she had said to him in the car during the day, he had thought that she had started to lose control of her willful emotions and feelings, so she had no choice but to avoid him. But now, not only did she not call him, she did not even send him a message. Chapter 980 - Chapter 980: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unconscious (65) Chapter 980: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unconscious (65) The phone suddenly rang, but the person who called was not Zuo Yue. It was a number from Russia. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. When he picked up the phone, his expression had already turned cold and serious. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll have to come personally to Russia. The Chinese trafficking area has been completely destroyed.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened.¡± ¡°Yes, but they¡¯re being so tough and bold this time. It seems like they have some kind of backer. We haven¡¯t found out what kind of backer they have yet, but if the BOSS doesn¡¯t come back and personally appear, we¡¯re worried that the situation in the Chinese District will go out of control.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the dark night sky outside the window.¡±¡±I understand.¡± After hanging up, the phone was thrown aside. Not long after, the assistant who was working overtime passed by the president¡¯s office. The moment he saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back, he knocked on the door and went in. As he pushed the door open, he asked,¡±President Xu? Are you planning to stay in the company tonight? Aren¡¯t you going back to rest?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but suddenly turned around and said,¡±¡±Book a flight from America to Russia tomorrow afternoon.¡± The assistant was stunned for a moment, but he did not ask further. He nodded and took out his phone to quickly book the plane ticket. ***** The next day. Xu Chengfeng had a meeting at the company in the morning. After dealing with some of the remaining problems of the technology company, he was about to drive to the airport with Ainte in the afternoon. However, before he left the company, he still looked at An Jing¡¯s private phone suspiciously. The little girl¡¯s calm reaction was indeed what he hoped for, but this calm and silent reaction made him feel that something was wrong. ¡°Boss, are we going straight to the airport? You don¡¯t have to go back to get some luggage to get your order.¡± Ainte said as he drove. Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and frowned. He suddenly said,¡±¡±Stop the car.¡± Ainte quickly stopped the car and looked behind him in confusion.¡±BOSS?¡± ¡°You go to the airport first. I¡¯ll drive over later.¡±After saying that, Xu Chengfeng got out of the car and walked back to the company building without looking back. He took his own car and left. Seeing that the BOSS¡¯s car seemed to be driving towards the villa, Ainte was puzzled for a moment, but he did not chase after it and drove away. The Porsche drove at an extremely fast speed on the street until it stopped outside the villa. Xu Chengfeng looked in the direction of the villa through the window. It was one o¡¯clock in the afternoon. The weather was clear and the sun was shining, but the lights in the villa¡¯s hall seemed to have not been extinguished. It wasn¡¯t cloudy. If Zuo Yue was at home, why would she continue to turn on the lights? Xu Chengfeng, who had only intended to come back to take a look and confirm Zuo Yue¡¯s safety, hesitated for a moment before he pushed open the car door and got out. Xu Chengfeng placed his hand on the combination lock outside the villa. He saw the light on it, which proved that there was someone in the villa. The door was not locked from the outside. Someone was there? Xu Chengfeng frowned thoughtfully as he entered the villa. He entered his fingerprint and password, then unlocked the door with two beeps. He opened the door and entered. Inside the villa, as always, it¡¯s neat and tidy. Left moon came back yesterday, and seemed to have never moved anywhere. However, after entering the destination, it¡¯s the figure wrapped in a bath towel, lying on the sofa, and motionless. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze only lingered on the figure for a moment. Without even changing his shoes, he quickly walked over.¡±Zuo Yue?¡± However, the person on the sofa did not react. The moment Xu Chengfeng approached her, he could clearly feel the burning heat on her body even before he placed his hand on her. ¡°Zuo Yue?¡± Xu Chengfeng leaned over and placed his hand on Zuo Yue¡¯s flushed cheek. The abnormally hot temperature made him tremble in fear and frown fiercely. He was fine yesterday, how could he have such a fever today? Did she have a fever since last night and still hasn¡¯t woken up? Zuo Yue did not know what was happening in the chaos. She only felt that there was a sound in her ears that had been quiet all this time. It was as if someone was calling her. She wanted to open her eyes but she did not have the strength to move. Her body was flipped over, but because the towel wrapped around her body was too loose, she instantly felt a chill in front of her chest. Xu Chengfeng did not have the heart to care too much. When he saw the towel on her body slide down, he tried not to look at the spring light on her body. He directly took a blanket from the sofa and wrapped it around her again. He even carried the unconscious Zuo Yue by her waist and turned to quickly walk out of the villa. ***** It was noisy in his ears, as if someone was talking. His nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and his body hurt everywhere. He felt as if he had died once. ¡°High fever of 39.7 degrees¡­¡± ¡± A fever for more than 18 hours¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s turned into pneumonias¡­¡± ¡°The fever has been running for too long. We still need to check when she will recover¡­¡± ¡°There are no signs of waking up yet¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyelids were very heavy. She seemed to be able to occasionally hear someone talking beside her. It was intermittent and she did not seem to understand. She only knew that she was in pain, but she could not wake up no matter what. After an unknown period of time, she gradually escaped from the chaotic consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the clean ceiling. When she turned her head slightly, she saw the infusion bag and infusion bottle hanging above. Her head hurt terribly. She was about to raise her hand when it suddenly sank, as if someone was holding it down. She slowly turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng. He was holding her hand that was being injected. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Xu Chengfeng gently pressed her hand back and said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Don¡¯t move. This hand is being injected.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him blankly, then looked at the infusion bag on top. Her mind was a little chaotic, as if many things could not be connected. She did not know why she was here, and why Xu Chengfeng was here. It was only when she finally recalled the scene of her stumbling out of the bathroom and falling straight onto the sofa that Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng in confusion. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she realized that her voice was frighteningly hoarse and that it was very difficult for her to speak.¡±I¡­ What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xu Chengfeng was not surprised to hear her voice so hoarse. He merely lifted the blanket on her and said calmly,¡±¡±She has a high fever and fainted.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t talk, take a good rest. You¡¯ve been unconscious for two days.¡±Xu Chengfeng did not explain much. He just looked at her and asked calmly,¡±¡±What do you want to eat?¡± Zuo Yue did not know that she had slept for such a long time, but from the uncomfortable and almost exhausted feeling in her body, she should have really slept for two days. Chapter 981 - Chapter 981: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Dont Play Around (66) Chapter 981: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Don¡¯t Play Around (66) However, she did not feel hungry at all. She had no appetite at all. She shook her head slowly and looked at Xu Chengfeng. She said softly,¡±¡±Uncle, when did you come back?¡± Her voice was very soft and hoarse, like the grinding of a stone. When Xu Chengfeng heard it, he looked into her eyes with a slightly dark expression. However, it did not look like she was concerned, but more like a question. Zuo Yue was swept by his gaze and immediately grabbed the corner of the blanket helplessly. ¡°Why do I suddenly have a fever?¡± The doctor checked your body and found out that you had gone through an exercise that exceeded your physical strength before you fainted from the fever. You also sweated a lot. The cold wind blew directly?¡± As expected, he was questioning her. So serious¡­ Zuo Yue gently bit her lip and did not explain. It was because of his words that she recalled what happened before she went to the school¡¯s sports field to run. She lowered her eyes and did not explain. Her sudden silence made Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows twitch slightly as if she was ignoring him. He said coldly,¡±Zuo Yue, I¡¯m asking you about your condition before the fever. Don¡¯t pretend you didn¡¯t hear me.¡± ¡°I just ran six kilometers at school. I was too hot and didn¡¯t wear a coat. You¡¯ve already guessed it. You must have guessed the reason why I suddenly ran so hard.¡±Zuo Yue did not know where the courage came from. She suddenly looked at him and talked back to him. He saw her calm and fearless gaze. Her pair of clear eyes were like gems embedded on her pale and thin face. Because of her illness, her face looked much smaller, and her eyes looked bigger. She stared at him with a hint of accusation in her eyes. Although it was not obvious, it was obvious that she was blaming him. Xu Chengfeng looked at her with a dark expression, but he eventually softened his voice.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I don¡¯t blame you for going out for a run in zero degrees Celsius, but you¡¯re sweating and you¡¯re directly exposed to the cold wind. Do you want to die or do you want to burn to death at home?¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything and turned her eyes away from him. At this moment, Xu Chengfeng was actually unwilling to let it go.¡±If I hadn¡¯t gone back to take a look halfway, you would have been burned into a fool or died at home unknowingly. You¡¯re only eighteen years old, don¡¯t you even know how to take care of yourself? How could she cherish her body? Don¡¯t you know that you need to¡­¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly opened her mouth and was bold enough to directly interrupt him. She turned to look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold face that was frowning.¡±Even if I really burn to death at home, it has nothing to do with you. You have your own life, and I have mine. We shouldn¡¯t interfere with each other, right? Uncle, isn¡¯t your goal to let me live there alone? I don¡¯t care if I have a fever or am dying, I won¡¯t disturb you. Even if I really burn to death, it¡¯s not your responsibility. No one will blame you!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression instantly turned cold.¡± Seeing that he seemed to be angered by her words, Zuo Yue tactfully did not say anything more. She closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, not wanting to talk to him anymore. Don¡¯t you have a girlfriend? Didn¡¯t he go to have dinner with his girlfriend? Didn¡¯t he think that she was redundant? Now that she had consciously withdrawn from his life, even if she had a fever and felt uncomfortable, she would not disturb him. Wouldn¡¯t this be taking advantage of his feelings? Wouldn¡¯t it be better to wait until the Zuo family realized that she wasn¡¯t suitable for him to take care of her and her mother came to let her live alone? He would no longer have to shoulder the responsibility of her. When she was running around crazily, she had thought that she might as well stop following Xu Chengfeng around. She did not want to lose control of her feelings like this again. She did not want her first love to become a nightmare of moral decay. She did not want to be immersed in his world like this. She disliked this feeling of loss even more, as if she had been abandoned. ¡°You don¡¯t want to see me anymore, do you?¡±However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words made Zuo Yue pause for a moment. She slowly opened her eyes. ¡°If this is what you want now, I can ask your mother to come over immediately.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him and saw the coldness and ruthlessness in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes. It was as if he really wanted to leave her side immediately. She took a deep breath and suddenly smiled.¡±Okay, you can leave. You don¡¯t have to call my mom. I have doctors and nurses in the hospital. I won¡¯t die here. I¡¯ll be discharged myself after I recover.¡± Seeing her willful attitude, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze only lingered on her face for a moment before he stood up. Seeing that he was really leaving. Zuo Yue secretly gritted her teeth. Suddenly, she raised her hand and pulled the pillow off the back of her hand. She struggled to get up from the bed. Hearing the movement behind him, Xu Chengfeng paused. He turned around and saw blood dripping down the back of Zuo Yue¡¯s hand. She had already turned over to the side of the bed and was about to fall. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and walked back with an ugly expression. He pressed her down on the bed and looked down at the place where blood was flowing out and the bruise on the back of her hand. His face was so gloomy that it looked like a storm was about to blow. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes and glared at him.¡± ¡°Can you not be so willful?¡± Xu Chengfeng held her shoulders tightly and was about to push her back to the middle of the bed to prevent her from falling. Zuo Yue struggled desperately in his arms. Even though she had no strength, she still tried her best to resist.¡±Let go! Let go of me! It¡¯s none of your business! Even if I¡¯m willful and die, it has nothing to do with you!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Xu Chengfeng warned her in a deep voice. Can¡¯t you see that your hand is bleeding?¡± ¡°This little bit of blood won¡¯t kill you. You don¡¯t have to worry about it! Take your hands off me! Take it away!¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she suddenly turned her head and bit down hard on the back of his hand. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face turned cold and he allowed her to bite him. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red as she bit him. She bit him even harder until she almost tasted blood in her mouth. Xu Chengfeng retracted his hand, but he did not even look at the bite marks on the back of his hand. He only looked at her pale and desperately resisting him.¡±I¡¯m going to get you something to eat. I¡¯m not really leaving. You¡¯re willful. I won¡¯t go so far as to fool around with a child like you.¡± He was clearly coaxing her, but in Zuo Yue¡¯s ears, it sounded full of sarcasm. She looked up at him with her red eyes. Her face was pale and her lips were pale. She looked at him with red eyes and ridicule.¡±Children? Are you sure I¡¯m just a child? Do you only treat me as a child?¡± Chapter 982 - Chapter 982: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-This is a Warning (67) Chapter 982: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-This is a Warning (67) Xu Chengfeng did not answer. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to lie down, sit here and don¡¯t move. The needle hole on the back of your hand needs to be treated. I¡¯ll call the nurse.¡±He let go of her shoulder and turned to leave. Zuo Yue sat by the bed and laughed lightly because he kept calling her a child. She still wanted to get up, but she staggered and fell from the bed to the ground. Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and was about to help her up when Zuo Yue raised her hand to shake him off.¡±¡±Don¡¯t touch me!¡± ¡°How long do you want to make a scene?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not give her the chance to be willful. He suddenly placed his hand under her armpit and was about to help her up. Zuo Yue sat on the ground and did not move. Since she was just a child and she was the one who was being willful, then so be it. So be it. Anyway, she had no intention of getting a good impression from him. A man who already had a girlfriend, and she was even her uncle. She must be out of her mind to want to behave well in front of him and make him like her. Now, she might as well let him continue to hate her. Perhaps she could even stop thinking about what she should not have. However, her strength was no match for his strength. After struggling for a while, she was panting heavily. However, she still grabbed the end of the bed beside her and tried her best to stabilize her body so that he wouldn¡¯t help her up. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was near her ear, but he was so angry that he was about to explode because of her stubborn temper.¡±If you continue to provoke me, do you believe that I will really ignore you in the future?¡± ¡°Then go, go!¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes and glared at him.¡± I already said I¡¯m not asking you to stay. You can go wherever you want. Go find your girlfriend!¡± Go to the company! You don¡¯t have to come back for me forever, and you don¡¯t have to care about me anymore! My life and death have nothing to do with you!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± She seemed to hear the sound of him gnashing his teeth. However, she continued to stare at him coldly. However, her strength had been completely depleted bit by bit. She did not have much strength to begin with. She had just woken up. Her fever had not subsided because of the pneumonias. After a few minutes of tormenting him like this, she was gradually unable to take it. However, when she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold expression, she did not want to show weakness. It was only when he directly picked her up at the waist that Zuo Yue seemed to suddenly remember that when she was unconscious, she seemed to have been carried by someone like this. What was she wearing then? Was it a towel? Who changed her clothes? Before she could think about all her doubts, she was carried back to the hospital bed. When she was laid flat on the bed, Xu Chengfeng covered her with the blanket and held her down.¡±I¡¯m warning you, don¡¯t move again. Zuo Yue, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t have a temper. You probably don¡¯t want to see the consequences of provoking me.¡± Zuo Yue paused and suddenly turned to glare at him.¡±¡± You threaten me?¡± ¡°This is not a threat.¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly smiled, but his smile was a little cold.¡±But it is indeed a warning.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of his hand that was pressing down on her body and turned around to walk out. Zuo Yuejiang lay motionless on the bed, but she suddenly turned to look at the back of her hand. The blood vessels on her hand had indeed been injured when she pulled out the needles. There was already a large bruise. Although the bleeding had stopped, the bruise did not seem to be going away for a week. She closed her eyes. Although she really wanted to leave and not look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face anymore, she really did not have the strength. In the end, she could only close her eyes and sleep to avoid it. However, with her eyes closed, how could she really fall asleep? She lay on the bed without any strength until the nurse came. She lifted her hand and checked it again. Then, she quickly did some emergency treatment on the back of her hand. Zuo Yue kept her eyes closed and did not move, but she knew that Xu Chengfeng was back too. He was beside the bed. She didn¡¯t open her eyes to speak, and she didn¡¯t say much either. She only communicated with the nurse. The problem on the back of her hand wasn¡¯t very big, but she had to continue the injection for her pneumonias. Now, she could only change her hand to continue the injection. In the end, it really became her own death¡­ If he didn¡¯t seek death, he wouldn¡¯t need to inject another needle. When the nurse inserted the needle into her hand again, Zuo Yue sighed in her heart. Her body was too uncomfortable. It seemed that now was not the time to fight Xu Chengfeng head-on. However, when she saw his cold and impatient face, which was still pretending to be concerned about her, she felt uncomfortable. It was worse than a fever, worse than pneumonias. After the nurse left, Zuo Yue slowly opened her eyes and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting on the sofa beside the bed. This was a luxurious ward with a separate bathroom, a separate water dispenser, two single leather sofas, a TV, and Wi-Fi. There was also a spare lounge for the caregiver. The entire ward did not look like it had a lot of things, but it was very complete and large. The wall style was also European patterned white wall. The price of this ward was not cheap. It was estimated that one night would cost at least one to two thousand dollars. It was true that she would not suffer any losses if she stayed by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s side. However, to be able to stay in such a good ward even when she had a fever and was sick, and to have Xu Chengfeng¡¯s personal care, it was really more enjoyable than living in a villa. Zuo Yue kept her eyes open and did not speak. She did not pull out the needles again. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her, and his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and frowned slightly. He stood up to answer the phone, but he did not leave the ward or avoid her face. The Chinese district had already sent Aite and a few subordinates back. They knew what to do.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back to Russia for the time being. If there¡¯s anything, tell Ainte directly.¡± After saying a few words, he hung up the phone. Then, he stood by the window and looked out. He didn¡¯t say anything for a while. Zuo Yue heard the contents of his phone call just now. She could roughly tell that something had happened in Russia. Was he supposed to return to Russia? Had he put his schedule on hold because of her? She turned to look at him. It was only then that she noticed that there was some green stubble growing around his chin. Although it was not very obvious because of the light, he must have been taking care of her in the hospital for the past two days. He had always been a clean freak and did not go back to change his clothes or shave. He looked much gloomier than usual. But even so, just a side profile still made her heart beat wildly. Even though she was throwing a tantrum and wanted to separate from him just now, Zuo Yue suppressed the feeling of her heart beating wildly when she saw him standing there quietly. She turned around and stared blankly at the ceiling. Was he planning to go back to the villa to see her before he went to Russia, so he found her unconscious at home? Was he going to go back to Russia alone, or was he going to bring his girlfriend with him? That night, he and that woman¡­ Thinking of this, Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze darkened. She closed her eyes, unwilling to think about these things anymore. Chapter 983 - Chapter 983: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Danger (68) Chapter 983: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Danger (68) Zuo Yue fell asleep in a daze. She vaguely felt someone¡¯s hand caressing her hand, and felt that something cold was wiping her forehead and face. She had been running a high fever repeatedly. She sighed softly because of the cold feeling on her forehead. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Xu Chengfeng, who was personally helping her use ice packs to lower her temperature. He was leaning over the bed, very close to her. Xia Xi could smell the pleasant scent on his body. She stood there in a daze and did not move, allowing Xu Chengfeng to use the ice pack on her face and forehead. When Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze landed on her already opened eyes, they only met for a moment before he withdrew his ice pack and gaze. He stood up and retreated before saying calmly,¡±¡±You¡¯ve been running a high fever repeatedly. Although I¡¯ve already put antipyretic in the infusion bottle, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll turn into a fool.¡± As he spoke, he placed the ice pack in his hand aside to explain his actions just now. He was clearly concerned about her, but he had to keep a cold face. Zuo Yue tilted her head and looked at him. After looking at him for a long time, she suddenly whispered,¡±Uncle¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng could tell that Zuo Yue¡¯s tone had softened and she was no longer so confrontational with him. He looked back at her.¡±¡±Speak.¡± ¡± You and that woman called Chries¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was very hoarse and soft when she spoke, but because she was weak and guilty, her voice still sounded soft when she spoke. Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Chengfeng slowly frowned. ¡°What¡¯s your relationship? Is she really your girlfriend?¡± Zuo Yue finally asked. After asking, she carefully observed all his expressions and actions. ¡°What relationship¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng repeated her words coldly and glanced at her for a moment.¡±¡±No matter what our relationship is, what does it have to do with you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze, but her eyes darkened instantly. But on second thought, she still looked at him unwillingly.¡±¡±If she really is your girlfriend, but she doesn¡¯t look like it. You don¡¯t talk on the phone every day. Other than going out occasionally, you¡¯re not very close¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her with a serious expression.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, this is not something you should be concerned about.¡± ¡°Of course I care. If you don¡¯t have a girlfriend, Uncle will still be mine alone.¡±Zuo Yue muttered softly, her voice filled with indulgence and willfulness. Anyway, she was sick and hospitalized now. Regardless of whether he was angry or not, he would not leave her. At this time, if she did not act boldly and act coquettishly, was she going to wait for him to leave her behind and leave? Xu Chengfeng sucked in a breath of cold air and said in a deep and cold voice,¡±Just stay in the hospital and recuperate. Don¡¯t think about all that nonsense. Whether I have a girlfriend or not, I¡¯m still your uncle, but not just you.¡± Zuo Yue did not care about what he said after that. She just smiled and said,¡±¡±So Chries isn¡¯t your girlfriend?¡± Xu Chengfeng was about to say yes when Zuo Yue suddenly said,¡±¡± Uncle, for a man like you, if a certain woman is your girlfriend, and she¡¯s the woman you¡¯ve set your mind on, you definitely won¡¯t be as silent and hesitant as you were just now. Therefore, the relationship between you and her is definitely not what I thought it was before¡­¡± ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Xu Chengfeng interrupted her coldly.¡± Zuo Yue saw that he was really going to be angered by her. If he continued to talk, he would probably really ignore her. However, Zuo Yue grinned and said coquettishly,¡±¡±I want to eat curry chicken¡­¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s too greasy.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue immediately buried her face in the blanket. She knew that she could not be willful while eating in the hospital. She said in a muffled voice,¡±That¡¯s random,¡± Xu Chengfeng only watched her for a moment before he got up and walked out after seeing her look of despair because she could not eat what she wanted to eat. Not long after, someone from a nearby hotel sent over a rich and nutritious meal, but it was mainly light. She knew that even if her uncle could tell that she was unhappy, he would not act according to her personality. Zuo Yue sat on the hospital bed and looked at the rich and nutritious meals on the table. Although they looked delicious, one could tell at a glance that they were extremely bland. She suddenly said with some melancholy,¡±Uncle, can you make me something delicious after I¡¯m discharged?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it after you¡¯re discharged.¡± ¡°Why are you so perfunctory?¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at him.¡± I saw that you were very natural when you prepared breakfast for me, so you should know how to make other food, right?¡±¡± ¡°Eat something first. We¡¯ll talk about what happens after you recover.¡±Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t waste any time talking to her. He placed the cutlery in front of her and gestured for her to eat quickly. Zuo Yue pouted her lips and was about to pick up the cutlery when she glanced at the Chinese vegetable porridge in the bowl in front of her. She suddenly leaned back and said in a deliberately drawn-out voice,¡±¡±You feed me¡±¡±You¡± Xu Chengfeng ignored her as if he had not heard her. He turned around and picked up a stack of documents from the sofa to read. ¡°Uncle, I don¡¯t have the strength. Feed me¡­¡± Zuo Yue continued to act coquettishly, her voice was long and soft. Xu Chengfeng suddenly threw the document back onto the sofa and rolled his eyes at the window. When he turned to look at Zuo Yue, he was about to fly into a rage when he saw Zuo Yue raise her hand that was full of needle marks pitifully. His eyebrows furrowed. Zuo Yue blinked innocently at him. Seeing that he did not move, she could only purse her lips and reach out to pick up the spoon. However, the spoon was indeed trembling in her hand. It was not on purpose, but she really did not have much strength. A high fever, pneumonias, even if it was not fatal, only those who had experienced it knew how uncomfortable it was. Seeing that she was struggling to eat porridge, Xu Chengfeng finally walked over and snatched the spoon and bowl from her hands. He sat beside the bed and said with a cold expression,¡±¡±Open your mouth.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Zuo Yue smiled as she opened her mouth and even stuck out her cute little tongue to shake him twice. Xu Chengfeng pretended not to see it and said while feeding her,¡±¡±After you¡¯re discharged, I¡¯ll be going back to Russia for a while. The return date is uncertain. Take care of yourself in Boston. Don¡¯t be willful and cause trouble.¡± Zuo Yue was about to continue eating her porridge when she froze.¡±¡±Are you going back to Russia to work on the matter of the Nine-Heres Corporation or¡­The other side?¡± Xu Chengfeng continued to feed her porridge without answering. Zuo Yue asked again,¡±Will there be any danger?¡± Will you come back safely?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand, which was placed beside the porridge, paused slightly. He looked at her with a calm and emotionless expression.¡±Life is unpredictable, don¡¯t rely on anyone too much. I¡¯m only responsible for taking care of you for a few years, you don¡¯t have to be so reluctant to part with me.¡± Zuo Yue acted as if she did not hear his heartless words. She suddenly raised her hand and placed it on his arm. She grabbed it carefully and asked persistently,¡±¡±Will it be dangerous¡­¡± Chapter 984 - Chapter 984: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-Shes Kissing Him (69) Chapter 984: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-She¡¯s Kissing Him (69) Xu Chengfeng was silent because of Zuo Yue¡¯s persistent question. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand grabbed his sleeve tightly.¡±Uncle¡­¡± ¡°There is no danger.¡± He finally answered, but it sounded more like a compromise to her. Only then did Zuo Yue relax. Seeing that he did not look like he was lying to her, she continued to eat her porridge obediently. After she was full, the nurse came in and removed the cutlery on the dining table. Zuo Yue leaned on the bed and saw that Xu Chengfeng had been staying here for the past few days to take care of her. He looked so good even when he was so slovenly. Moreover, he had no time to tidy himself up because he was here to take care of her. Zuo Yue saw that he was reading documents and did not disturb him. However, even though the two of them were sitting quietly in the same ward, she still felt exceptionally at ease. It was as if her entire heart was at ease. The sky gradually darkened. The nurse came in to give Zuo Yue an injection and medicine. After being fed dinner by Xu Chengfeng, Zuo Yue did not feel sleepy. She just leaned on the bed and stole glances at him from time to time. Whether Xu Chengfeng was reading documents, looking at the computer, or talking on the phone, his serious side profile made her want to take a photo with her phone. However, her phone was not by her side, and she remembered what he had said when she took his photo last time, so she had no choice but to do it. As she read, Zuo Yue closed her eyes, but she did not sleep very well. She seemed to have heard something in her half-asleep state. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Xu Chengfeng, who was originally on the sofa, had disappeared. She subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound. There was water coming from the bathroom in another cubicle of the ward. After about ten minutes, the sound of water stopped. When Xu Chengfeng walked out of the bathroom, Zuo Yue suddenly felt a little disappointed. He had only come out after putting on his clothes. He did not get any advantage at all. However, Xu Chengfeng had obviously taken care of himself in the shower. The green stubble around his chin had disappeared, and he had returned to the clean and comfortable Xu Chengfeng, but he lacked a bit of humanity. ¡°Aren¡¯t you asleep?¡± Xu Chengfeng walked out and saw Zuo Yue leaning on the bed with her eyes open. He asked casually. ¡°I didn¡¯t sleep well to begin with. I thought you had left, so I suddenly woke up.¡±As Zuo Yue spoke, she looked at his slightly wet hair and smiled.¡±¡±That¡­ Uncle, I¡¯m a little embarrassed that you¡¯re taking care of me. After I recover, I¡¯ll treat you to a movie, okay?¡± ¡°What movie? Didn¡¯t I say that I¡¯ll be leaving for a while after you¡¯re discharged?¡± ¡°But you can¡¯t leave on the first day I¡¯m discharged, right? Watching a movie only took a few hours.¡±Zuo Yue said excitedly,¡±¡±I¡¯ve never watched a movie with anyone before. I don¡¯t know how the cinemas in Boston are like.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes showed a hint of refusal. Zuo Yue quickly said before he could refuse,¡±¡±Then, it¡¯s a deal. On the first day after I¡¯m discharged, you¡¯ll accompany me to the movies. I¡¯ll use my phone to book tickets in a few days.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze landed on her face.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I have no time.¡± However, Zuo Yue did not look at his eyes. Since he was already so willful, she lowered her eyes as if she did not hear him and continued,¡±¡±Uncle, do you like romance movies or science fiction movies? Or maybe a cartoon from disney. I can watch whatever you like with you.¡± However, Xu Chengfeng was expressionless as he slowly buttoned up his sleeves. He said calmly,¡± You don¡¯t have to buy tickets, you don¡¯t have to go.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly looked up at him. Xu Chengfeng did not look at her, but the coldness and distance hidden in his lowered eyes could be seen.¡±Zuo Yue, there should be a limit to your willfulness. Don¡¯t force me to really abandon you. Once I leave you, I guarantee that you will never see me again in this lifetime.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes trembled, and her hands slowly gripped the blanket tightly. After a long time, she said,¡±¡±It¡¯s just a movie¡­Can¡¯t I?¡± ¡°No.¡± ***** Late at night, Zuo Yue was gasping for breath in the midst of her nightmares. It was as if something had gradually come to her in the chaos. There was blood. Whose blood was it? It was as if her throat was being strangled, and she could not breathe. Her hands were tightly clutching the blanket, and cold sweat kept falling. The sound of her panting was still obvious in the dark ward. Xu Chengfeng returned to the hospital after an impromptu meeting at the technology company. He pushed the door open and entered the ward. Before he turned on the lights, he heard Zuo Yue¡¯s voice in the dark. He casually turned on the lights and saw Zuo Yue lying on the ground with the blanket. She was curled up into a ball and was trembling with sweat. Xu Chengfeng walked over quickly and bent down to pick her up. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand climbed up his neck and her sweaty body snuggled into his embrace. She hugged his neck tightly and refused to let go. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± If he had not confirmed that she was having a nightmare, Xu Chengfeng would have thrown her back onto the hospital bed. However, just as he was about to carry her up, Zuo Yue trembled in his arms and sobbed,¡±¡±Don¡¯t die¡­Don¡¯t die¡­Uncle¡­Don¡¯t die¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s entire body trembled. He lowered his head and looked at Zuo Yue, who was burying her face in his neck. Tears were still flowing down her face in her sleep. Her tears wet his neck and stained the collar of his shirt. Xu Chengfeng, however, held the little girl who was crying in her sleep stiffly. For some reason, something in his heart seemed to tremble. ¡°Uncle¡­Don¡¯t¡­ You don¡¯t want¡­¡± In her dream, Zuo Yue saw Xu Chengfeng walking towards her covered in blood. Then, he fell in front of her. She rushed forward to grab onto nothing. She was so scared that she cried out,¡±¡±Uncle¡­Don¡¯t die¡­ Don¡¯t die¡­¡± The ground was too cold, so Xu Chengfeng finally stood up with her in his arms. Zuo Yue was finally awakened from her nightmare the moment she was picked up. She opened her red eyes and looked at the man who was hugging her with a dark expression. She looked at his well-defined side profile and his handsome jaw that was almost supporting him. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± When Zuo Yue called out to him, her voice sounded as if she was still in a dream and was not fully awake. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡± You had a nightmare,¡± Xu Chengfeng replied calmly.¡± But what kind of habit is it to fall off the bed when you¡¯re asleep?¡± As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he was about to put her back on the bed when Zuo Yue suddenly raised her head and kissed him on the chin. Xu Chengfeng froze, but Zuo Yue¡¯s face was red as she instinctively hugged his neck tightly, afraid that he would throw her out. Chapter 985 - Chapter 985: I Like You (70) Chapter 985: I Like You (70) Zuo Yue hugged him too tightly. Xu Chengfeng slowly frowned and was about to put her back on the bed, but she hugged his neck and refused to let go. Xu Chengfeng frowned and said coldly,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I¡¯ve warned you before. Stop messing around.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not messing around.¡± Zuo Yue had just woken up from a nightmare and was very happy when she saw him. That was why she did not distinguish between reality and dream for a moment and kissed him instinctively. But now that she was awake, she did not regret it at all. Even if she was about to welcome Xu Chengfeng¡¯s disgust and unexpected storm, she had enough of holding back those emotions. She wanted to like him, tell him, and share her thoughts with him¡­ The girl¡¯s clear and firm voice made Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face turn cold. He immediately pulled her hand away and placed her back on the hospital bed. Then, he turned around and left. ¡°Uncle, every time you turn around and walk away, is it because you can¡¯t win against me, or do you want to deliberately avoid something? You can tell that I like you, right?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly knelt up on the bed and said anxiously as she stared at his back. Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks and suddenly looked at her coldly as if he was looking at a monster.¡±Take back your love. I¡¯m your uncle, not a man you can casually like. I won¡¯t argue with you because you¡¯re young, but Zuo Yue, this is the last chance I¡¯m giving you to be willful. Lie back down and don¡¯t move around!¡± Zuo Yue bit her lip and turned around to get off the bed. She did not care if she had the strength or not. She ran behind him and wanted to hug him. Xu Chengfeng turned around the moment he felt her running in. He took a step back to avoid her outstretched hand and looked at her coldly.¡±Nonsense!¡± ¡°Uncle, I like you! I really like you!¡± Zuo Yue stood where she was and saw the coldness in his eyes. Suddenly, she was at a loss.¡± I wanted to control myself, but I couldn¡¯t. I don¡¯t know how I fell in love with you, but I had no choice. It¡¯s the kind of love between a man and a woman, not the kind of affection¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold.¡± It seems that your mother didn¡¯t make a wise decision to hand you over to me. I¡¯ll ask her to come and pick you up tomorrow. It¡¯s up to her whether she wants to change schools or someone else to take care of you. I won¡¯t care about you anymore!¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng immediately turned around. ¡°Uncle!¡± Zuo Yue did not expect that her confession, which she could not control for a moment, would really force him away. She was so frightened that she quickly pounced over to grab him. However, Xu Chengfeng walked too fast, as if he was avoiding her like a viper. Not only did Zuo Yue fail to pull him, but the moment he walked out of the door, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. ¡°Ah¡­¡± ¡°Uncle¡­Don¡¯t go¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was about to close the door when he stood outside the ward. He did not turn around to look, but he could hear Zuo Yue¡¯s current condition. She did not have any stamina at all. It would be strange if she did not fall. The veins on the back of his hand that was holding the door handle gradually bulged. He endured it and finally closed the door mercilessly. When he walked to the nurses ¡®duty room nearby, Xu Chengfeng told the nurse about Zuo Yue¡¯s condition and left immediately. The nurse was a little confused. Didn¡¯t Mr. Xu always care about his niece? Why didn¡¯t he go back to help the little girl when she fell? Instead, he only asked them to go over. Moreover, Mr. Xu left in the middle of the night. His attitude seemed so cold and scary¡­ However, the nurse was still afraid that something had happened to the patient. She quickly ran to Zuo Yue¡¯s ward and pushed the door open. She saw Zuo Yue lying on the ground without moving, as if she had fainted. She immediately shouted and hurriedly went forward to help her up. .. The next night, Xu Chengfeng, who had not appeared in the hospital for the entire day, received a call from the hospital. ¡°Mr. Xu, Miss Zuo has been unconscious since last night. She has a high fever and is in a coma. Her condition is a little serious. The doctor is giving her a specialist consultation. There is no one else in the hospital now. When can you come and take a look? Miss Zuo has not woken up yet¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng put down the phone and was silent for a long time. He got up and walked to the French window of the CEO¡¯s office of the technology company. He looked in the direction of the private hospital from afar and the light that was always on in one of the windows. ***** When Zuo Yue woke up again, she felt that someone was using a cotton swab to wet her mouth. She thought that her uncle had returned. She did not know how long she had slept, but she still turned her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± After Xu Yuan gently moistened her dry lips, she said with heartache,¡±¡±How did you get so sick? If Chengfeng hadn¡¯t called me last night to tell me that you had been sick for many days, I wouldn¡¯t have known that you were lying in the hospital.¡± Zuo Yue looked at Xu Yuan, who had come to Boston at some point in time, in surprise. She slowly looked around, but there was no sign of Xu Chengfeng. ¡°Stop looking. Your uncle has been very busy recently and doesn¡¯t have time to come over and take care of you. That¡¯s why he informed me last night. I rushed here overnight. You¡¯ve been sleeping ever since we arrived. Now that you¡¯re finally awake, are you trying to scare me to death?¡± Xu Yuan poured another glass of water as she spoke. She helped Zuo Yue sit up and fed her,¡±¡±Drink some water. I really don¡¯t know why you¡¯re so sick. It¡¯s fine if you have a fever, but you¡¯ve even developed pneumonias. It¡¯s fine if you have pneumonias, but now it¡¯s severe pneumonias.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes darkened as she explained in a low voice,¡±¡± A few nights ago, I suddenly felt like I¡¯ve gained a lot of weight, so I went to the school¡¯s sports field to run. I sweated a lot, and then I was exposed to the cold wind. That¡¯s all¡­¡± ¡°Fat? Are you still considered fat like this? Then why did you ask those who were really fat to live?¡±Xu Yuan was angry and heartbroken as she helped her lie back down.¡±You¡¯re already thin enough. Now that you¡¯re sick, you¡¯ve lost even more weight. What are you thinking?¡± Zuo Yue did not explain. She only looked at the many more needle marks on the back of her hand. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said,¡±¡±Mom, did Uncle say that he will be busy in the future and won¡¯t have time to take care of me, so he doesn¡¯t want to take care of me anymore?¡± Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment.¡± I didn¡¯t hear him say that. He only called me last night to tell me about your illness. It¡¯s considered informing me. After all, I¡¯m your mother. It¡¯s his responsibility and human nature for him to inform me when you¡¯re so sick. It has nothing to do with whether or not he wants to continue taking care of you.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t he say that he won¡¯t care about me anymore?¡±Zuo Yue did not know how pale her face was, but she was obsessed with this question. Xu Yuan furrowed her eyebrows.¡± Zuo Yue, I asked Chengfeng to take care of you. I only asked him to help me look after you occasionally, but he doesn¡¯t have to be by your side all the time. He¡¯s not someone who has much free time to begin with. He has already taken care of you for so many days. Now that I¡¯m here, I only have something to do. Don¡¯t overthink it.¡±¡± Chapter 986 - Chapter 986: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Are You In Love (71) Chapter 986: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Are You In Love (71) Zuo Yue¡¯s expression gradually turned cold, but she sat on the hospital bed and did not speak again. Xu Yuan noticed the emotions in her eyes and suddenly held her hand gently.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, tell me the truth. Are you in love?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze shook and she suddenly raised her eyes.¡±¡±Ah?¡± ¡°Tell me the truth, don¡¯t you already have a boyfriend? Are you in love? You don¡¯t look normal at all. Instead, you look like you¡¯re angry and sad with someone when you¡¯re in love.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s hand was a little stiff as she held the blanket lightly.¡±¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Xu Yuan did not believe him. Zuo Yue shook her head gently.¡± Mom, I really didn¡¯t. If I were in love, I would definitely love you. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know my personality. I can¡¯t hide my words.¡±¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you call not long ago and ask if you can get a boyfriend? Are you really in love? Did that man hurt you? Which reckless brat dares to bully my daughter like this?¡±¡± Tell me,¡± Xu Yuan said as she held her hand.¡± I¡¯ll help you analyze and see if this man is worth it!¡±¡± ¡°Mom, didn¡¯t you want me to get to know John Jr. better? Now you¡¯re agreeing for me to date someone else?¡± Xu Yuan chuckled.¡± I was just casually telling you. When you were twenty-eight years old, I couldn¡¯t bear to marry you off, let alone when you were only eighteen. But at your age, I know very well that you can¡¯t be controlled just because you say so. So if you really have a boyfriend, you must tell me. Mom won¡¯t stop you, but if that man dares to hurt you, I won¡¯t allow it.¡±¡± Originally, because Xu Chengfeng had left, the desolation in Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was suddenly filled with warmth. She suddenly leaned into Xu Yuan¡¯s arms with reddened eyes and said in a choked voice,¡±¡±Mom, what should I do if I fall in love with someone I shouldn¡¯t like¡­¡± Xu Yuan hugged her gently and patted the back of her head gently.¡±¡±Don¡¯t like someone you shouldn¡¯t like. There are too many uncontrollable things in this world, but although feelings are hard to control, rationality is still necessary. Since you know you shouldn¡¯t like someone, why do you have to continue clinging to those things?¡± Zuo Yue knew that her mother did not see through her feelings. It was only because of the sentence ¡± she shouldn¡¯t like him ¡± that she was helping her to analyze. She bit her lip. I could tell¡­ He also cares about me very much. He seems to like me too¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, is it because of that man that you became so sick?¡±Xu Yuan suddenly asked after a moment of silence. Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at her, her red eyes filled with helplessness. She shook her head.¡±I¡¯m not, I¡¯m really just sweating all over, and then I¡¯m blown by the cold wind, it has nothing to do with him.¡±¡± If she said that she was related, her mother would probably ask her to tell her the other party¡¯s name to check out the situation. Realizing that Zuo Yue, who had always been straightforward, actually stopped halfway, Xu Yuan looked at her for a while and sighed. She raised her hand and gently stroked her head.¡±You silly child, I¡¯ve never seen you get close to any boy in the past 18 years. How did you suddenly fall in love with someone and become like this?¡± Zuo Yue sniffed, lowered her head and whispered,¡±¡±Mom, I haven¡¯t changed¡­¡± ¡°In short, the person you shouldn¡¯t like should be someone you absolutely can¡¯t be with. You have to control your feelings and don¡¯t let them go. Time will heal everything.¡±Xu Yuan stroked her forehead as she spoke.¡±Fortunately, your fever has finally subsided. The doctor said that you¡¯ve been having a fever repeatedly and that you¡¯ve been eating whatever you eat. It scared me to death. Your uncle is really something. He only informed me when your condition is so serious.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t blame Uncle.¡±Zuo Yue spoke very softly. She leaned her head into Xu Yuan¡¯s arms coquettishly. When she was sad, she only felt better in her mother¡¯s arms. ¡± It¡¯s time for you to take a break in two months, but the winter vacation at your medical university seems to be quite long. Go back to Los Angeles. Your uncle must be too busy to take care of you recently. Come back to the Zuo family with me during the break¡­¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She did not agree or refuse. She only looked down at the needle marks on the back of her hand. Her mind was filled with the scene of her kissing Xu Chengfeng that day. Actually, it was just a kiss on his chin. It was not that serious, but to Xu Chengfeng, perhaps he already thought that she was crazy? Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes darkened. She gradually clenched her fists and then slowly loosened them. Xu Yuan whispered something into her ear again. Zuo Yue did not hear it clearly, but her consciousness was a little blurry and she was very sleepy. ¡°Your little uncle kept praising you to me previously. He said that although you were a little willful, you actually knew how to take care of yourself. However, in the blink of an eye, you became so sick. You¡­¡± Xu Yuan felt the weight on her shoulder and paused. Only then did she realize that Zuo Yue had fallen asleep in her arms. Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with heartache as she gently touched her daughter¡¯s pale face. She gently placed her daughter back on the bed and turned around to call the nurse to check Zuo Yue¡¯s temperature. The next morning, Zuo Yue woke up and ate obediently. She did not want to stay in the hospital any longer. She had to get better as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would keep delaying her mother¡¯s matters. After all, her grandfather and the Zuo family had many things that her mother needed to rush back to. She could not be a burden. After eating her fill, Zuo Yue leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest. However, she did not fall asleep. She heard her mother get up to call someone. She did not pay much attention at first, but when she realized that her mother was calling her youngest uncle, she immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully. ¡°Hello, Chengfeng, are you busy? Did the sudden call not disturb you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. You don¡¯t have to worry about Zuo Yue anymore. She woke up yesterday and was much better last night. She even obediently ate a lot of food this morning and cooperated with the treatment. She should be discharged soon.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. This girl¡¯s sudden illness is really beyond my expectations. Fortunately, her health was good when she was young, so she wouldn¡¯t collapse easily. I reckon that after this illness is cured, she can be lively and won¡¯t fall sick for a few years.¡± ¡°When are you leaving? You¡¯re going back to Russia, right?¡± ¡°So fast? Don¡¯t you plan to have a meal with Zuo Yue after she¡¯s discharged from the hospital?¡± ¡°Alright then, you go ahead with your work. I¡¯ll take care of Zuo Yue here. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, I¡¯ll bring her back to Los Angeles.¡± After hanging up the phone, Xu Yuan turned around and saw Zuo Yue leaning on the bed with her eyes wide open. However, it was as if she was only looking at a certain point in the ward. She did not know what she was thinking about, but when she thought about it, she was stunned. Chapter 987 - Chapter 987: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-It Will Definitely Come (72) Chapter 987: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-It Will Definitely Come (72) Did Xu Chengfeng not want to see her anymore? He didn¡¯t even plan to see her after she was discharged from the hospital¡­ Zuo Yue lay down on the bed with a dim gaze and pulled the blanket over her head. ¡°Zuo Yue, you¡­¡± Xu Yuan looked at her in confusion.¡± Why are you covering your head with the blanket?¡± Aren¡¯t you afraid of suffocating yourself?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, Mom. My head hurts so much that I want to sleep for a while.¡±Zuo Yue said randomly and did not say anything else. She could not control her emotions for a while, nor could she hide the feeling of her nose and eyes being swollen. She was afraid that her mother would find out that she was about to cry, and she was even more afraid that her mother would find out about her relationship with her uncle. She could only temporarily avoid her mother¡¯s gaze. Xu Yuan walked over and tried to pull it away, but she couldn¡¯t.¡±¡±You still have so much strength even though you¡¯re so sick. Don¡¯t be cooped up for too long. Take off the blanket later, understand?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue replied softly, then suddenly said,¡±¡±Mom, how many more days do I have before I can be discharged?¡± ¡°The doctor said that if your recovery goes well, you can be discharged in half a month.¡± Half a month¡­ Half a month later, her uncle would probably have left America. Zuo Yue bit her lips and did not say anything else. She quietly hid under the blanket, turned around, and buried her face in the pillow. ***** The time spent in the hospital was too slow. Zuo Yue was finally allowed to get out of bed after four days. She finally had the strength to walk around. However, he had not fully recovered from his pneumonias. Although he no longer had a fever, he still had to stay in the hospital for at least a week. Xu Yuan went out to buy pajamas for Zuo Yue. After all, the hospital gown was not comfortable for Zuo Yue to wear, and it looked too pale. Therefore, Xu Yuan wanted to buy her a pair of pajamas that were softer and more comfortable. Before she left, she asked her mother to buy her another set of clothes so that she wouldn¡¯t have to go back to the villa to get them when she was discharged. After all, when she was sent to the hospital, she was wrapped in a towel. Xu Chengfeng probably wrapped her in his coat and sent her straight to the hospital. Therefore, there were no clothes that she could wear when she went out. After waiting for Xu Yuan to return, Zuo Yue took her medicine under the supervision of the nurse. Then, she sat on the sofa in the ward and picked up the phone that was finally allowed to return to her hand. She texted Julie and Weina, who had been worried about her, to tell them that she was safe. There was also an unknown number. It was a missed call, and then that number sent her a message. She opened it and saw that it was a message asking her how she was feeling and if she needed to come to the hospital to take care of her. The signature at the back was Yin Ruisheng. It turned out to be Yin Ruisheng¡¯s number. Zuo Yue saved the number into her contact list and replied simply to let him know that she was safe. After that, she leaned back on the sofa and stared at her phone in a daze. What has Uncle been doing these past few days? Was he in the villa? Or was he busy with the newly acquired companies? Or¡­ Just to avoid her and not come to the hospital¡­ No matter what he was doing, it seemed like he didn¡¯t want to have any contact with her anymore. He didn¡¯t even call her to show his concern. In the past few days, only Xu Yuan had called her uncle. Zuo Yue had been eavesdropping, but every time, she would only say a few words before being hung up. She did not hear anything she wanted to hear, not even an extra greeting. But if he really left, would he never see her again in the future¡­ What if he didn¡¯t plan to return to the United States after he returned to Russia? Are we really not going to meet again in the future? With his relationship with the Xu family, he would probably do the same. He looked like a cold and heartless person. Zuo Yue held her phone tightly and took a deep breath. She suddenly mustered up the courage to call her uncle. She was nervous every time she called his private number, afraid that he would hang up or not pick up. The call went through. When she heard the toot sound from the other end, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was in her throat. However, after a few rings, the call was hung up. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze. She lowered her head to look at her phone and called again unwillingly. This time, the call was quickly hung up again. She bit her lip in anger and called him a third time. This time, it rang for a long time. Just as it was about to hang up automatically, the phone was finally picked up. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was cold and distant. Finally, she heard his voice again. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes reddened as she pressed her phone tightly to her ear.¡±Uncle¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment when he heard the voice on the other end. He didn¡¯t want to answer the call at first, but Zuo Yue was still in the hospital after all. If Xu Yuan wasn¡¯t by her side at the moment and something happened to her and she needed help or was in danger, he couldn¡¯t just leave her alone. However, when he heard that voice, he was sure that she was not in any danger. He said coldly,¡±If there¡¯s anything, just say it. If there¡¯s nothing else, I still have to go do something.¡± ¡°Uncle, when are you leaving?¡± Zuo Yue asked hurriedly. ¡°The plane in the afternoon the day after tomorrow.¡± It was still a cold voice. ¡°The day after tomorrow¡­Can I see you tomorrow?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t.¡± ¡°Uncle¡­¡± ¡°Take care of your illness and sort out your feelings. Don¡¯t harm yourself because of a moment of confusion.¡±After Xu Chengfeng finished his cold and heartless words, he directly hung up the phone. Zuo Yue looked at the darkened phone screen stiffly. She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. He was leaving the day after tomorrow¡­ Would they never see each other again? Even though she knew that he was rejecting her, she still sniffed and suddenly used her phone to check some of the new movies that were being released today and tomorrow. When she found out that there was a new sci-fi movie that was being released with high expectations, she realized that it was the premiere today and it was hard to get a ticket, so she booked the tickets for tomorrow¡¯s movie. After that, she sent a screenshot of the movie ticket to Xu Chengfeng and typed on her phone: ¡°Since you¡¯re leaving the day after tomorrow, how about accompanying me to a movie tomorrow night? It was the latest release,¡± XXX Battle of the Defiance.¡± The trailer seemed to be very good.¡± After sending the message, Zuo Yue continued to send another message: ¡°Tomorrow night at 7:30, Uncle, I¡¯ll wait for you to watch a movie with me. We¡¯ll just watch a movie.¡± Two messages had been sent out in a row, but there was no reply for half an hour. Zuo Yue stared at her phone and waited for a few more minutes. She picked up her phone and sent a message.¡±Tomorrow, at the entrance of XX Theater in Boston. Don¡¯t remember wrongly.¡± There was still no response. Her fingers that were holding the phone gradually turned white from the force, but she tried her best to smile and continue typing with an expectant expression. ¡°Uncle, it¡¯s just a movie. Just treat it as fulfilling my wish, okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait till you come, you¡¯ll come, won¡¯t you?¡± .. Tomorrow is my birthday, you must come¡­ Chapter 988 - Chapter 988: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-In the Snow (73) Chapter 988: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-In the Snow (73) It was a cold winter night. Zuo Yue stood in front of the cinema and paced back and forth. She was afraid that she would miss the opportunity to meet Xu Chengfeng, so she rushed to the hospital entrance at 6:20 pm. It just so happened that Xu Yuan had to catch an early flight back to Los Angeles because of some urgent matters at the Zuo Corporation in Los Angeles. Although Xu Yuan would be back in two to three days, it still created an opportunity for Zuo Yue. She took advantage of the nurses ¡®shift change to sneak out of the hospital. The cold wind was biting cold, but the people at the entrance of the cinema were coming and going like wildfire. It could be seen how many people were looking forward to this movie. With Xu Chengfeng¡¯s personality, he would definitely not watch those kinds of literary and romantic films. This kind of sci-fi film should more or less be to his liking, right? Zuo Yue knew that it was not time yet, so she was not in a hurry. After standing in front of the cinema for a while, she coughed from time to time because it was too cold and her body had not recovered yet. She turned around and went into a milk tea shop nearby. She ordered a cup of hot cocoa and waited while drinking. At 7:20 pm, there were still ten minutes left before the agreed time. Zuo Yue hurriedly put down the hot cocoa in her hand that she had only taken a few sips and walked out. He returned to the hospital and looked around, but he did not see the familiar dark gray Porsche. Perhaps it was just a traffic jam. Although traffic jam was rare in Boston, there were so many people and cars on the street of the cinema. What if there was a traffic jam? At 7:30, he didn¡¯t show up, and neither did the car. Zuo Yue smiled. She held the movie ticket in her hand and continued to wait in front of the theater door. There were already people who had entered the theater in groups, and many of them had bought last minute tickets to watch the movie. At eight o¡¯clock, Zuo Yue¡¯s hands and feet were already frozen. She raised her hands and rubbed them. She felt that if her uncle had come a little later, she would have missed too much of the exciting content of this movie. She turned around and bought tickets for the next movie. The next movie was at 8:50. After she was done, she walked to the intersection in front of the cinema and kept looking at the cars passing by. He didn¡¯t reply to her message at that time, but she was sure that he must have seen it. Since there was no reply, although he did not agree, he did not reject either. He must have seen it and would definitely come. Zuo Yue took a deep breath and stood where she was full of hope. The seats in front of the milk tea shop had been replaced by batches of people. Zuo Yue did not want to go in again. She just wanted to stand there and wait. What if her uncle did not notice her when he came and thought that she was angry at him for being late and left first, so he turned around and left as well? What should she do then? She was standing right here. As long as he came, he would definitely see her. Suddenly, Zuo Yue¡¯s phone rang. She quickly took out her phone and saw that it was a call from the hospital. She hesitated for a moment before picking it up. The nurse¡¯s anxious voice immediately sounded from the phone.¡±Miss Zuo, where did you go? You still need to get an injection every night after seven. Your body hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet, so you can¡¯t walk around. Where are you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze slightly as she looked at the time. It was almost nine o¡¯clock. ¡°I¡¯m outside¡­¡± ¡°Why are you outside?¡± The nurse¡¯s scream immediately came from the phone.¡±Oh my god! Miss Zuo, you have severe pneumonias now. It¡¯s not a joke. Come back quickly. You can¡¯t go out. It¡¯ll be even harder for you to recover. Come back quickly. Where are you? Come back and lie down and rest immediately. Also, you have to get an injection!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon. You guys go see the other patients first.¡± ¡°When are you coming back? Was it because he was not feeling well and could not come back on his own? Your mother hasn¡¯t been in the hospital for the past two days. She left you with us. You can¡¯t walk around like this! Miss Zuo, where are you? Our hospital will send a car to pick you up!¡± ¡°No need. I have something to do. I¡¯ll go back after I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°But Miss Zuo, your body can¡¯t allow you to be so reckless. You¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon. Really, my body is much better. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡±Zuo Yue hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She held her phone tightly and looked at the crowd who were still rushing to the next movie. It was nine o¡¯clock¡­ She looked down at the movie ticket in her hand and turned around unwillingly to buy the next scene. Uncle, you¡¯ll definitely come¡­ I told you that I would wait for you to come. You will definitely come. You won¡¯t be so cruel, right? The cold wind had already penetrated her clothes, which were not particularly thick. Zuo Yue¡¯s face was already red from the cold, and her hands and feet were frozen. She held the stack of movie tickets tightly in her hand and stood in the most conspicuous place in front of the theater. Her gaze was firm as she looked at the passing cars. Other than the calls from the hospital, her phone had been silent. She thought of calling Xu Chengfeng to ask him what he was busy with and if he was already on his way. However, every time she picked up the phone, she would put it down again. Since he didn¡¯t reply to her messages or call her to reject her, it meant that he would come. He would definitely come, so he didn¡¯t call her to reject her. If she called him now, what if he couldn¡¯t come because he had something to do and asked her to go back? Wouldn¡¯t she have waited for nothing? She wanted to wait here until he came¡­ As time passed, the night deepened and the cold wind grew colder. Zuo Yue stood on the spot like a statue, and the movie tickets in her hand kept increasing. From 7:30 pm to 8:50 pm, to 9:50 pm, and then to 11 pm¡­ The number of people in front of the cinema gradually decreased. Because it was not the first day of the premiere, there were not many people rushing to the night scene. At eleven o¡¯clock at night, the last movie before midnight began to be shown. The cleaning staff who would come over every once in a while to disturb the venue in front of the cinema walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s side, as if they were already used to the scene of waiting for people in front of the cinema. However, when they saw that Zuo Yue was so young, they finally walked over and asked with some heartache,¡±Little girl, are you waiting for your boyfriend?¡± Chapter 989 - Chapter 989: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hes Here (74) Chapter 989: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-He¡¯s Here (74) Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused. She slowly turned her head and looked at the cleaning staff. Her eyes trembled twice, but she did not say anything. ¡°Ah, young people nowadays.¡± The cleaning staff shook his head.¡± Since you can¡¯t see her, then don¡¯t wait anymore. Even if you stand here until tomorrow morning, she definitely won¡¯t show up. I think you¡¯ve been waiting here for hours.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hand was still holding the stack of movie tickets and she did not say anything. Yes, she knew that he wouldn¡¯t come¡­ It was already eleven o¡¯clock at night. If he was going to come, he would have come long ago. If she was just late, he would definitely call to tell her. However, he did not respond. It was as if he had not seen the text message that day. What was she waiting for? Wait for him to completely give up? Or was he punishing himself for gradually waking up to a relationship that shouldn¡¯t exist? However, she felt that her head was constantly burning. Not only did she not wake up, but she would rather freeze her body and numb her limbs than give up¡­ Uncle, are you really¡­ Didn¡¯t you like me before? Even if it was just a little¡­ Was there no time when he was tempted? ¡°Little girl, do you want to go in and wait? Will you get sick standing here like this?¡±The cleaning staff couldn¡¯t help but say,¡±Look at how thin you are. This is the coldest place. How did you stand here for several hours in such a cold wind? If you really want to continue waiting, you can go in and wait¡­¡± Zuo Yue shook her head gently.¡± I¡¯m fine. Thank you.¡±¡± ¡°Sigh, you¡¯ll get sick like this¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue still shook her head. She felt that she was almost terminally ill. Perhaps it would be better if she woke up from the cold. The cleaning staff saw that she was so persistent and didn¡¯t listen to his advice. He could only shake his head and turn around to clean with a sigh. Zuo Yue slowly raised her head to look at the night sky. The stars were flickering non-stop. She stiffly moved her feet and when she turned around, she realized that the people who rushed to the last round before midnight had already entered. In the past few hours, there were not many people in front of the cinema. Occasionally, there were two or three people passing by, but they were just passing by in a hurry or running into the cinema. She turned around and walked back to the place where the tickets were sold. She wanted to buy the tickets after midnight. The ticket seller looked at her with pity in his eyes, but he still gave her the ticket. He had seen too many young people¡¯s separation and reunion in front of the cinema. It was not that he had never seen such a scene of waiting for the other half to appear. However, in such cold weather, he really doubted if this little girl could hold on. ¡°It¡¯s already winter, little girl.¡±the ticket seller said softly after giving her the ticket. ¡°I know.¡± Zuo Yue smiled.¡± ¡°I heard it¡¯s going to snow tonight.¡± ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Zuo Yue took the tickets, turned around, and walked back to the most obvious spot in front of the theater. She held the stack of tickets tightly in her hand. It was only when a few snowflakes suddenly fell in front of her eyes that she was startled. She looked up at the night sky again and saw that it was indeed snowing. The snowflakes fell one by one, falling on her already cold face and the tip of her nose. It was as if she could not feel the coolness of the snow. It was until the scattered snowflakes became more and more, until it was almost blurred by the falling snow. Zuo Yue suddenly wondered if she should really give up. If his uncle was just an ordinary man, it would be fine. However, he was her uncle. They were separated by blood and moral ethics. Even if she waited here for seven days and seven nights, he probably wouldn¡¯t come. Because he was too rational, he kept reminding her rationally. Zuo Yue slowly lowered her head, her eyes gradually turning red. Although the movie was still playing in the cinema, there were not many people coming and going. The lights in front of the door flickered a few times at midnight and dimmed a few degrees. There were not many people in the surrounding coffee shops, milk tea shops, and western restaurants. Although there were signs of 24-hour service, some shops were ready to close because of the snow. The world seemed to darken. Zuo Yue shifted her feet and looked up sadly. She looked at the road ahead for the last time. Vaguely, the dark gray Porsche that she had been waiting for hours had finally appeared, but it did not seem to have any intention of driving here. The car did not seem to be coming from the original direction, but seemed to be returning from the east and passing by. Zuo Yue¡¯s gloomy eyes suddenly lit up. She looked in the direction of the car. She could not see the license plate clearly. She did not know if it was the car she had been waiting for. The dark gray Porsche suddenly braked on the side of the road. The screeching sound of the brakes rang out, and at the same time, it stirred up the snow on the ground. The car door opened. The moment she saw Xu Chengfeng get out of the car, a smile finally appeared on Zuo Yue¡¯s face. No matter how hard he waited, he still came! Even though it was already midnight, he was here! Xu Chengfeng slammed the car door heavily with a gloomy expression. He looked at Zuo Yue, who was still standing in front of the cinema like a little fool. His expression was extremely ugly as he quickly crossed the road and walked in her direction. Seeing him walking towards her, Zuo Yue suddenly felt a little nervous. Did he just rush back because he went to do something? Did he really want to watch a movie with her, but he was so busy that he only found time now? If she had left after waiting for a short while, would Uncle be disappointed to find that she was not there when he arrived? Fortunately, she had been waiting. Fortunately, he had come! Zuo Yue¡¯s face was already frozen. She tried her best to pull up the corners of her mouth, wanting to give him a smile. It was only when Xu Chengfeng walked over quickly like a gust of wind that the smile on Zuo Yue¡¯s face finally spread. She smiled at him, her eyes filled with happiness. When he got closer, he saw that Zuo Yue¡¯s face had been frozen to the point where there was not a trace of blood left. Xu Chengfeng was so angry that he cursed,¡±¡±Who asked you to stand here and wait? Do you know what time it is? Do you know how high the temperature is today? Can¡¯t you see that it¡¯s already snowing? If I don¡¯t show up the whole night, are you going to stand here and wait the whole night?!¡± The man¡¯s voice was mixed with anger, without any warmth or emotion. The smile on Zuo Yue¡¯s face froze for a moment. She looked at him in a daze. She looked at the windbreaker on his body, then at the snow that had fallen on his shoulders when he walked over, and then at the suit and tie under his windbreaker. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± She said in a soft, stiff voice,¡±Did I¡­¡± What are you delaying again¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows furrowed, but he did not answer. He only looked coldly at her persistent eyes in the snow.¡±How long do you want to go crazy? I¡¯m your uncle! I¡¯m not a man who can make you like me and make you miss me!¡± Chapter 990 - Chapter 990: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, You Lunatic (75) Chapter 990: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, You Lunatic (75) Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows furrowed, but he did not answer. He only looked coldly at her persistent eyes in the snow.¡±How long do you want to go crazy? I¡¯m your uncle! I¡¯m not a man who can make you like me and make you miss me!¡± ¡°I know¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at him with reddened eyes. Even though her eyes had turned red from his lecture, she still looked at his cold and handsome face with an expression of attachment.¡±I know you¡¯re my uncle, but so what? I just like you. I like you so much. I can¡¯t control myself. What can I do?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold.¡± You want me to never appear in your life again?¡± If you wish for me to disappear from your sight, you can continue to go crazy!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s tears fell instantly, brushing across her frozen face, instantly turning it cold. She slowly raised her frozen hand and handed him the stack of movie tickets that she had been holding in her hand. The moment he saw the stack of movie tickets in her hand, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes widened. He didn¡¯t need to ask much to know how she had been waiting for him. He could guess that she had really been waiting for him here for a few hours. ¡°I bought tickets for the movie after midnight. It¡¯s about to start. Do you want to go in and watch¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised the stack of movie tickets and asked carefully, full of anticipation. Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away from the movie tickets in her hands and looked into her eyes that were filled with affection and anticipation. ¡°If I don¡¯t show up, do you really plan to wait here until dawn?¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She only bit her lip. ¡°You¡¯re only eighteen years old. You¡¯re young and impetuous, and you don¡¯t know what love is. You did such a stupid thing like a moth flying into the fire just because of a feeling that you shouldn¡¯t have. Zuo Yue, if there¡¯s something wrong with your brain, I¡¯ll send you to the mental hospital immediately! Standing here in the cold wind! Do you think that a few hours of cold wind can blow away the blood relationship between us?!¡± ¡°If we weren¡¯t related by blood, would you like me?¡±Zuo Yue asked softly. Xu Chengfeng frowned. ¡°If I wasn¡¯t your niece¡­I mean, if¡­ Putting aside our relationship, just between the two of us, did you¡­ Liked me¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent, but his eyes were cold and terrifying. ¡± You liked me before, didn¡¯t you? I know that it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t have any feelings for me. You¡¯re just too rational. You just remember that you¡¯re my uncle. You don¡¯t want to surpass this kinship. You don¡¯t want to hurt me. I know all of that¡­¡± ¡°Since you know, why wait? Why are you forcing me?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened. He wanted to strangle this stupid and stubborn girl. Zuo Yue bit her lip and looked at him with trembling eyes. ¡°I never planned to come over tonight! If I didn¡¯t come back from my meeting at the company in the east, if I didn¡¯t pass by here, do you think you could have waited for me?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice almost came out from between his teeth. His eyes were cold. Zuo Yue lowered her head. She knew that he was just passing by. She knew that he really did not want to come over¡­ ¡°Uncle¡­¡± ¡°How long do you want to go crazy? I¡¯ll leave tomorrow morning. If you continue to be so crazy, I think it¡¯s necessary for me to never appear in front of you again.¡± ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red as she choked and whispered,¡±¡±I just want to watch a movie, really¡­I didn¡¯t dare to expect too much¡­¡± ¡°Watch a movie! Did I agree? Did I tell you to wait? You took the initiative to send me a few messages, but I didn¡¯t even reply! Why are you waiting!¡± ¡°Do you think you can get love with your stubbornness and youthful impulsiveness?¡± Xu Chengfeng scolded angrily. Do you think you can easily overcome the barrier between moral constraints and human relations?!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Zuo Yue slowly raised her eyes and looked into his eyes that were filled with anger.¡±¡±But uncle¡­You¡¯re still here, ah, you¡¯re still here.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression froze. ¡°No matter what, whether you¡¯re deliberately driving by to take a look or just purely passing by¡­At least, you¡¯re here¡­Even though it¡¯s already midnight, you¡¯re here. You¡¯re still here¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was a little shaky, but she stared into his eyes.¡±¡±As long as you are here, I can wait even if I have to wait until dawn¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes gradually became incredulous as he looked at the little girl who was talking crazy in front of him. ¡°Madman!¡± ¡°I¡¯m crazy. I just like you. I like you very, very much! I love you!¡± Zuo Yue cried. ¡± Do you know what is love?!¡± Xu Chengfeng cursed and suddenly pushed her hand that was holding the stack of movie tickets in front of him away.¡±¡±Don¡¯t stand here and go crazy! Zuo Yue, I won¡¯t keep you company! You also expect me to accompany you back to the hospital! Take a taxi back yourself!¡± After saying that, Xu Chengfeng turned around ruthlessly, wanting to completely kill her thoughts on this cold, snowy night. The moment he turned around, the tearing pain in his heart almost made him unable to resist turning around to hug the little girl whose face had turned pale from the cold, giving her all the warmth and comfort. But no! She could be irrational and impulsive, but he could not! ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was very, very soft as she looked in his direction weakly.¡±¡±I really like you¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned fiercely and pretended not to hear him. He strode away and walked straight to the side of the road. Just as he was about to cross the road, he suddenly saw a black car parked in the dark not far behind his car from the corner of his eye. His gaze shook and he instantly put up his guard. However, he suddenly remembered something in the next moment and turned around to look in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. The sound of bullets pierced through the air. Zuo Yue was still standing stiffly in front of the cinema door. The back of her white coat was instantly dyed red with blood. She did not know what had suddenly drilled into her back. Her frozen body did not even feel pain. Only the hot blood gradually dyed the coat on her back red¡­ ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s frosty black eyes instantly turned red. He suddenly turned around and rushed back to her. Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground. She did not know what had happened. She only felt a sweet taste in her mouth. Blood suddenly spurted out from her mouth. The stack of movie tickets that she had been holding tightly in her hand fell to the ground and her body slowly fell backward. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly hugged her the moment she was about to fall to the ground, but when he touched the blood on her back, he looked at the blood on her back and coat. Zuo Yue coughed, and more blood gushed out of her mouth. She forced herself to open her eyes to look at the man who suddenly came back to hug her. She slowly opened her mouth as if she really could not feel the pain. She smiled lightly. ¡°Uncle¡­Don¡¯t leave me behind. The girl in his arms slowly closed her eyes¡­ ¡± Zuo Yue-!!!¡± Chapter 991 - Chapter 991: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Wrong Love (76) Chapter 991: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Wrong Love (76) ¡°Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep¡­¡± In the private hospital¡¯s ICU, the doctors surrounded the young girl and finally removed the bullet from her back. The hospital bed was already covered in blood, but the look in Boss¡¯s eyes when he rushed in with the girl in his arms was too scary. If the girl could not be saved, all the medical staff in the hospital would probably be buried with her. Xu Chengfeng watched the doctor remove the bullet through the glass window with a cold gaze. Zuo Yue had been lying quietly on the bed without moving. After the anesthesia, she did not feel anything. The doctor was busy stopping the bleeding and treating the patient. The various medical equipment inside made beeping sounds from time to time, and there were also images of the heart pulse monitoring. ¡°BOSS!¡± Ainte walked in from outside and saw Xu Chengfeng standing there without changing his clothes. The blood on Zuo Yue¡¯s body was still left on his sleeves and trench coat. He looked like a man who had returned from a bloody journey. He was gloomy as if he had half a foot in hell. The closer he got to his cold back, the more he could feel the murderous intent coming from behind him. Ainte walked behind Xu Chengfeng and looked through the glass window at Zuo Yue, who was being treated. He frowned and said,¡±¡± We¡¯ve already found out the background of those people. They¡¯re fugitives from Russia. They heard that Boss is in America, so they came here after many investigations. They seem to have found Zuo Yue, that girl. They probably suspect that she has something to do with you¡­¡± ¡± The reason why he shot Zuo Yue was probably because he suspected that she was someone very important to you. He wanted to force you to return to Russia and force you to make a move. That¡¯s why¡­¡± ¡°You know what to do.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at everything in the ICU expressionlessly. His voice was clear and cold. Ayt paused for a moment before nodding.¡±I know. I will deal with it. None of those people will leave America alive.¡± ¡°Find out who fired the gun and chop off his hand.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was cold. ¡± Alright,¡± Ayt said softly.¡± Break his fingers one by one, chop off his hands, and crush his shoulder bones. Kill him only after he¡¯s been tortured.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng did not reply. Ainte knew that Zuo Yue was in a critical situation. The BOSS could not leave right now, so he respectfully explained the situation in Russia in detail and left. The corridor outside the ICU became silent again. Xu Chengfeng looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s unconscious figure lying on the hospital bed. He slowly raised his hand and looked at the bloodstains on his palm and sleeves. ¡°If we weren¡¯t related by blood, would you like me?¡± ¡°But uncle¡­You¡¯re still here, ah, you¡¯re still here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m crazy. I just like you. I like you very, very much! I love you!¡± ¡°Uncle¡­Don¡¯t leave me behind. His blood-stained palm gradually closed and clenched into a fist. His joints gradually turned white. ***** Three days later- The person on the hospital bed was still sleeping. There was an oxygen tube inserted into her nose, and there were needles on the back of her hand. Other than a pale white on the back of her hand that was already riddled with holes, there were only bruises left by the needle holes. He had not recovered from his pneumonias yet. He had been standing in the negative seven degrees Celsius night for nearly six hours and had been shot in the back. Fortunately, although his vitals were not injured, he was still in critical condition¡­ After 72 hours of emergency treatment, he was finally out of danger. However, he still needed an oxygen tube and medical equipment to monitor him. He had not woken up until now. ¡°BOSS.¡± Ainte walked into the ward and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting by the bed, looking at Zuo Yue who was sleeping soundly. She slept for a long time after she was sent to the ward. Xu Chengfeng sat by the bed and watched for a long time. Zuo Yue could not eat, and Xu Chengfeng did not eat either. Ainte walked behind him and said softly,¡±I¡¯ve already spoken to the hospital where Miss Zuo was previously hospitalized because of her pneumonias. They won¡¯t inform Miss Xu Yuan, but Miss Xu Yuan needs you to talk to her. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid she will be suspicious.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the time.¡± I¡¯ll call her at noon.¡±¡± ¡± Yes.¡± Ainte nodded.¡± Miss Zuo is injured like this now. If her mother finds out, I¡¯m afraid your identity will be exposed as well.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng did not speak again. His gaze continued to stay on the pale face of the person who was sleeping on the hospital bed. He did not move. Ainte knew that the Boss was upset. This was the first time in many years that he had seen such a big change in the Boss¡¯s mood. He did not dare to say anything more and did not dare to disturb him anymore. He could only walk out. Zuo Yue was in a deep sleep as if she did not even have a dream. Her motionless appearance did not seem like a real person. Xu Chengfeng suddenly reached out and gently held her hand that was not injected with the needle. He held the back of her hand that was covered in bruises firmly in his palm. .. Zuo Yue slowly woke up in a burst of pain. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt that her vision was blank. When she finally regained her focus, she realized that she was still lying in the hospital. However, she seemed to have been transferred to another ward. Moreover, she had only been suffering from from pneumonias, but now she was in pain all over her body. She frowned and turned to look at the bedside, but she instantly met a pair of deep and dark eyes. Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment before she struggled to sit up. ¡°There¡¯s an injury on your back. Don¡¯t move.¡± Xu Chengfeng said in a deep voice. ¡°Are you injured?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. It was as if she had just remembered what had happened in front of the cinema. All those memories came back to her mind in an instant. She looked at Xu Chengfeng in a daze.¡±What injury did I get?¡± At that time, her body was numb from the cold and she didn¡¯t know what had happened at all. It was just that she suddenly felt like she didn¡¯t know anything. But now that he had woken up, he felt pain and itch on his back. It was an indescribable discomfort. At that time, she seemed to have vomited blood. It was as unreal as in a television drama. She actually vomited blood! Xu Chengfeng saw the shock and confusion in her eyes. He tightened his grip on her hand, but he did not intend to hide it.¡±Gunshot wound.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression changed. ¡°You didn¡¯t hear wrongly. It¡¯s a gunshot wound. The bullet has been removed.¡±Xu Chengfeng said faintly while looking into her shocked eyes,¡±It¡¯s so dangerous to be by my side. Are you sure you want to continue being obsessed with me? You still want to follow me?¡± Zuo Yue slowly turned her eyes away. For a moment, she did not understand the meaning behind his words. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± ¡°Have you been deceived by my seemingly peaceful life for so long?¡±Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡± I¡¯m a person who lives in a bloody storm. Zuo Yue, can your wrong love end end now?¡±¡± Zuo Yue looked at him for a long time and did not speak. She seemed to feel warmth on her hand. She slowly lowered her eyes and realized that his hand was holding hers, as if he had not let go for a long time. Chapter 992 - Chapter 992: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Didnt Get Rid of Him (77) Chapter 992: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Didn¡¯t Get Rid of Him (77) Although she did not have much strength, she managed to move her hand and hold his instead. Noticing her silent but persistent action, Xu Chengfeng did not frown anymore, nor did he scold her coldly. Zuo Yue¡¯s meaning was clear. ¡°Zuo Yue, your mother would not want you to walk down this path.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her patiently. Because of her injuries and her struggles on the verge of death these past few days, he could no longer ignore everything about her. ¡°Then don¡¯t let my mom know.¡±Zuo Yue laughed.¡± Anyway, my mother didn¡¯t have many chances to see me when I was studying in Boston. As long as we don¡¯t say anything, she won¡¯t know anything.¡±¡± ¡°What about after you graduate? Are you planning to hide it from her for the rest of your life? When you reach the age of marriage, your mother will ask you to bring your boyfriend back to see her. What will you do?¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly. Zuo Yue did not speak for a while, but when she felt that he was about to withdraw his hand, she quickly pulled his hand. Although she did not have much strength, Xu Chengfeng paused for a moment because of her sudden strength. In the end, he did not shake her off. ¡°I have never thought about the future¡­¡± she whispered. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes immediately showed a trace of mockery.¡±¡±Then you should think about the future thoroughly before standing in front of me and talking about so-called love.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what the future will be like, but there are so many disasters in the world every day. Who can guarantee that they can live a safe life?¡±Zuo Yue looked into his eyes.¡± Uncle, just like now, we don¡¯t know when we will get hurt or when we will encounter unexpected things. But when we can love, we don¡¯t love. We only think about the future. The future is so far away, but I am right in front of you. Why can¡¯t you look at me but look at the future¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re being unreasonable.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned. ¡°I just want to cherish the present.¡±Zuo Yue said as she looked at his hand.¡±I cherish the feeling that you didn¡¯t throw me away¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng paused and suddenly moved his hand away. Zuo Yue tried to grab it again but failed. She looked at him pitifully. He stood up but did not leave. He just looked down at her. ¡°You want to abandon me again?¡± Zuo Yue said eagerly. Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment before he said,¡±¡±Rest well. You¡¯ve been hospitalized one after another recently. Don¡¯t make me worry so much.¡± ¡°You couldn¡¯t go back to Russia because of me these two times I was hospitalized. I know that I seem to have delayed something for you, but Uncle, my purpose isn¡¯t to drag you down. I just don¡¯t want you to disappear from my life¡­¡± Before Xu Chengfeng walked out of the ward, Zuo Yue was lying on the hospital bed. Although her back was in so much pain that she could not move, her eyes were fixed on his back.¡±If you have something to do, go ahead. I won¡¯t pester you, but don¡¯t cut off contact with me, okay? I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to find you in the future.¡± Xu Chengfeng had already opened the door of the ward, but he stopped in his tracks because of her words. Even though he only gave her a heartless back view, Zuo Yue could feel that he was stopping for her and could not help but smile in relief. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t disappear.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not look at her. He left the room after saying those words. To him, it felt like he was running away. Zuo Yue did not know why he was in such a hurry to leave, but because he said that he would not disappear, she smiled and closed her eyes. However, he frowned because of the excruciating pain on his back. How did she get shot? She had no recollection of her injury. Were those people shooting at his uncle? Did someone want to kill him? ***** ¡°Chengfeng, then I¡¯ll have to trouble you with Zuo Yue¡¯s matter.¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s voice sounded from the phone.¡±¡±That girl¡¯s pneumonias hadn¡¯t recovered yet, and I was afraid that she would be sad in the hospital alone. Since you suddenly canceled your trip back to Russia, I can only continue to hand that girl over to you. It¡¯s just that Zuo Yue¡¯s temper might be a little delicate after she fell ill. You should give in to her a little. Don¡¯t get angry with her when she¡¯s not sensible.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the window and spoke to Xu Yuan on the phone. Although he did not speak much, he had indeed taken over the responsibility of taking care of Zuo Yue in the near future. ¡°I¡¯m relieved to have you around. I really can¡¯t let go of my father¡¯s health. The Zuo Corporation is also in a period of turmoil in the US financial industry. Zuo Yue¡¯s father and I still have to deal with the company¡¯s matters here.¡±Xu Yuan sighed.¡± Hancheng has been in China for five years. I don¡¯t know when he¡¯ll be back. After all, we¡¯re getting old. The Zuo family business will be handed over to him sooner or later.¡± When Xu Chengfeng thought of Zuo Hancheng, he could not help but think of the young man named Vllen when he first negotiated with the American mafia. ¡± It¡¯s not easy for Han City to let go of everything and move Shengling Group to China,¡± he said after a while.¡± It¡¯s not easy for them to cut off all ties with New York.¡±¡± ¡°It seems that you know about the things that happened in Cold City.¡± Xu Yuan paused.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know much about the Zuo family, but I¡¯ve more or less heard of Zuo Hancheng. He¡¯s an amazing person.¡± ¡°Sigh, Han Cheng has always had his own sense of propriety. Although we didn¡¯t expect that he would be involved in the underworld, at least he has already retired at the right time. However, the old man kept using these past matters to threaten him. He even forced him to marry that girl, Chengxin. He insisted that Hancheng would only cut off all ties with the underworld after they got married and started a family. The old man was impulsive and arbitrary, forcing Hancheng away¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it anymore. Zuo Hancheng is not a heartless person after all. He will come back sooner or later.¡± ¡°Yes, but I don¡¯t know when the city will come back.¡±After a pause, Xu Yuan¡¯s mood suddenly became very good again.¡± By the way, I called Han Cheng not long ago, and it was a young lady who picked up. The young lady scolded Han Cheng over the phone, and it was very interesting. It sounds like she¡¯s very close to Han Cheng. I wonder if something good is about to happen¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng hung up the phone after listening to Xu Yuan ramble on about some family matters. Not far away, in front of Zuo Yue¡¯s ward, a doctor and nurse walked in. It was obvious that they were helping her with the wound on her back and some follow-up treatment. Xu Chengfeng did not walk in. He had one hand in his pocket as he stared at the heavy snow outside the hospital. Closing his eyes, the image of Zuo Yuxue, who was stubbornly waiting in front of the cinema entrance, entered his mind. After Zuo Yue was shot, the stack of movie tickets in her hand scattered. The scene of her falling down struck his rationality hard. Chapter 993 - Chapter 993: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Give Me a Kiss (78) Chapter 993: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Give Me a Kiss (78) A month later¡­ Zuo Yue was discharged from the hospital, but because she had injured her internal organs when she was shot, although she had recovered a lot, she could not return to school for the time being. Under her strong request, Xu Chengfeng gave up on hiring a senior nurse to take care of her at the villa. Instead, he stayed at home to take care of the stubborn little troublemaker. Zuo Yue was really not willful. Based on her observations over the past month, she could tell that Xu Chengfeng was already pretty much done with his work in the United States. Even if he occasionally received calls from the company and needed to handle some matters, he did not need to be there personally. It was because she realized that he wasn¡¯t very busy lately that she dared to pester him and let him stay at home to accompany her. If she didn¡¯t let him accompany her, he would probably find another reason to go out with that woman named Chries, or he would have plans to return to Russia. The days after returning to the villa were really leisurely. Other than watching TV and playing with his phone in his room every day, he would stand in front of the window and watch the snow. Since winter came so quickly, spring would not be far away. She did not know how long it would take for spring to come between her and her uncle. The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Zuo Yue turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng walking in with a glass of water in one hand and a box of medicine in the other. ¡°Take your medicine.¡± The man¡¯s voice was silent but irresistible. ¡°Every day, I ask you to come to the bedroom to talk to me for a while, but you refuse. Every time it¡¯s time to take your medicine, you¡¯ll appear more punctual than the alarm clock.¡±Zuo Yue said as she walked over with a smile. Although she was still recovering from her injuries, she still ran to him like a happy bird. She took the cup of water and took out the medicine. She put it into her mouth and obediently drank a whole cup of water. After she finished drinking, she turned the glass upside down.¡±Then, I¡¯m done!¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled when he saw how obedient she was. He took the empty glass and suddenly looked at the open window in her room. ¡°Didn¡¯t the doctor tell you to avoid the wind as much as possible? Why did you secretly open the window in the room?¡±As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he walked over and closed the window. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the rows of indistinct but still distinguishable handwriting on the glass. It was the words that Zuo Yue had written on the window when there was some white smoke on it. Now that the white gas had disappeared, he could still vaguely see some traces. It was filled with Xu Chengfeng, I like you, and Ken, I like you. His name was written all over it, and there were circles of heart-shaped patterns around his name. Seeing those marks, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze shifted away and he closed the window without batting an eyelid. When he turned around, he saw Zuo Yue standing behind him, looking at him with a red face. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression did not change.¡± Don¡¯t watch your phone or television. Rest more.¡±¡± With that, he was about to leave. Zuo Yue stood beside him and muttered softly,¡±¡±I¡¯ve been back for three days. You say this every day after you come to supervise me taking my medicine. Can¡¯t you change it?¡± As she spoke, she turned to look at him. Today, his uncle was wearing a dark brown knitted sweater. He looked very casual and at home. As he had been taking care of him at home recently, he did not go out, so his hair was not done up. It was just that it was clean and fluffy. He really looked like he was living a good life, unlike the man who was high and mighty and was called Boss by Ait. She really felt like she wanted to spend the rest of her life in peace¡­ Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks because of her words and looked back at him.¡±¡±I¡¯ve already stayed behind to take care of you. What else do you want me to say?¡± ¡± You can say,¡¯My dear little darling Zuo Yue, you should watch less of your phone and television. You¡¯re still recovering from your injuries, so you¡¯ll hurt your eyes.¡¯ You can also say,¡¯Honey Zuo Yue, my most beloved Zuo Yue.''¡± Zuo Yue deliberately leaned closer to him as she spoke. She smiled slyly and even put her little head directly beside his arm.¡±Little uncle, when exactly do you plan to submit to me¡­¡± Just as she leaned her head on his shoulder, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and pushed her away. After Xu Chengfeng pushed her an arm away, he glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Don¡¯t mess around. Go lie down and rest.¡± ¡°How am I messing around? You clearly know that I like you now, and you clearly know that I¡¯m deliberately pestering you, but you¡¯re not willing to leave. Doesn¡¯t this prove that you actually have me in your heart?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and walked in front of him in a slightly overbearing manner. She reached out to hug him. Xu Chengfeng gave her a warning look.¡±¡±If you don¡¯t listen to me, I¡¯ll go back to Russia tomorrow.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s movements froze, but she rolled her eyes at him unhappily. She leaned back against the door, blocking his way. Then, she glanced at his obviously unhappy expression.¡±You only know how to use this sentence to threaten me.¡± ¡°Move aside.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned when he saw her leaning against the door on purpose. Zuo Yue stubbornly stood in front of the door and did not move. She raised her small head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.¡±Kiss me!¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face turned cold. Zuo Yue pouted,¡±Kiss me and I¡¯ll let you out.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was ugly as he stared at her stubborn expression.¡±¡±I¡¯m already the greatest indulgence I can give you by staying behind to accompany you and take care of you. Before you sort out the emotions in your heart that aren¡¯t clear enough, we can only maintain this kind of relationship of taking care of each other.¡± ¡± I didn¡¯t ask for more. It¡¯s just a kiss. Even if I¡¯m just a child and you only treat yourself as my uncle, a kiss on the forehead is also good. Just like how an adult treats a child, a gentle kiss will do¡­¡± Zuo Yue pouted as if her eyes were really filled with childishness. Xu Chengfeng frowned and glanced at her. It was unknown whether he agreed or disagreed. Zuo Yue continued to lean against the door with a smile. She raised her finger and pointed at her forehead and cheek. Then, she pointed at her mouth with a red face.¡±Then, there are three places. Choose one and kiss it. After you kiss it, I¡¯ll move away. I won¡¯t pester you!¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent. Zuo Yue smiled and said,¡± Although I recuperate in my room every day, I wash my face and shower every day. I¡¯m clean. There¡¯s not a single stain on my face. You can kiss me without worry!¡±¡± ¡°Are you done? You want me to go crazy with you? Don¡¯t you know how old you are? You¡¯re only eighteen. If you were still so persistent when you were twenty-eight, I might be able to face your nonsense. But Zuo Yue, I have no reason to hurt you at your ignorant age. My rejection is the greatest protection for you. Do you understand?¡± Zuo Yue stared into his eyes. The more rational you are, the more I like you. The more you protect me, the more I love you!¡± Chapter 994 - Chapter 994: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Forced Kiss (79) Chapter 994: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Forced Kiss (79) ¡°..¡±The veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead twitched violently. ¡°Move aside!¡± He obviously didn¡¯t have the patience to continue with her nonsense and reached out to pull her away. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s two hands were tightly gripping onto the doorknob by the door. Her eyes were staring straight at him,¡±¡±Just a kiss!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± ¡°Just a moment! Even if it¡¯s just your forehead, it¡¯s good to give me a symbolic comfort¡­¡± Zuo Yue suddenly lowered her eyes and said aggrievedly,¡±¡±I was shot because of you. At that time, I didn¡¯t hit any vital points. Otherwise, I probably wouldn¡¯t be standing in front of you alive now¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze froze. ¡°Just a kiss, alright¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes and looked at him pitifully.¡±Even if it¡¯s just a one-sided love, even if you¡¯re just because I¡¯m hurt, you want to make up for me, so you can¡¯t make me push you too far, even if you¡¯re just like this, you¡¯ll never give me a response, but kiss your forehead, don¡¯t go too far, you¡¯re not.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned. After looking at her for a moment, his gaze fell on her clean and fair forehead. Zuo Yue grinned as she leaned against the door. She raised her hand and pointed at her forehead.¡±Kiss me, kiss me and I¡¯ll leave immediately! I promise I won¡¯t pester you for the entire day!¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed softly, as if he really could not do anything to her. The moment he leaned closer to her, Zuo Yue could clearly hear her heart beating violently. When he got closer, she could smell the clean and refreshing scent on his body. Even if he hadn¡¯t kissed her yet, even if he had only taken the initiative to get close, she felt as if she was about to die. Xu Chengfeng stopped when he was a finger away from her forehead. In the end, he still hesitated. If he indulged this little girl like this, would he have already crossed his initial bottom line? Was he indulging her time and time again, indulging her willfulness, or was he uncontrollably sinking in? Seeing that he did not kiss her, Zuo Yue waited quietly. She blinked under his chin and whispered,¡±¡±Uncle, your body smells really good.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s breathing stopped. He decided to end the battle quickly and kissed her on the forehead. Just as he kissed her, Zuo Yue suddenly stood on her tiptoes and raised her head high, bringing her pink lips directly to his lips. The moment their lips touched, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression turned cold. He was about to pull away when Zuo Yue finally seized the opportunity. She used both her hands and feet to lean on his body tightly. While she pressed her lips against his, she raised her hands to wrap them around his neck and sucked hard. Even though her kissing skills were inexperienced, she at least knew to hold his mouth. She instinctively sucked hard to prevent him from escaping. Xu Chengfeng was extremely furious. He lowered his head under the pressure of Zuo Yue¡¯s forceful kiss snatching posture, but at the same time, he suddenly wanted to push her away. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, suddenly groaned in pain when he pushed her hard. At the same time, she frowned. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand froze. He thought that he had hurt her. After all, she had not recovered from her injury. In the end, just as he hesitated, Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and pushed him against the door. She continued to pull down his neck and looked up to kiss him desperately. She refused to let him push her away. It was not until Xu Chengfeng grabbed her waist in a rage that Zuo Yue groaned in pain. She did not let go of the pain and opened her mouth to bite him in revenge. Xu Chengfeng finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and pushed her away completely. Just as Zuo Yue was about to pounce on him, he scolded her in pain,¡±¡±Zuo Yue! My patience has a limit! If you continue to pester me shamelessly, I¡¯ll only hate you more and more! You definitely won¡¯t get the feelings you want!¡± When Zuo Yue heard the words ¡®shameless¡¯ and ¡®loath¡¯, the triumphant smile in her eyes gradually turned cold. She looked at him blankly as if he was really angry. Just as Xu Chengfeng turned around to open the door with a cold face, she quickly reached out to grab the corner of his shirt. ¡°Let go!¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t turn his head. He had obviously lost his patience. ¡°Uncle, I was just joking with you¡­¡± However, Xu Chengfeng directly pulled her hand away from under his clothes and walked out mercilessly. He slammed the door shut and blocked her vision. Zuo Yuejiang stood inside the door. His breath was still on her lips. She was so close to him just now¡­ Did she really do something wrong? She just couldn¡¯t stand the feeling of only being able to look at him but not being able to hug or confess. He clearly knew about her feelings, but he could take care of her every day as if nothing had happened. He told her to take medicine and rest, and even put down so many complicated things to stay here with this willful and ignorant her. He even made delicious food for her every day to cater to her tastes. But he said there was a limit to his patience¡­ He said that he would hate her¡­ Zuo Yue stood where she was and suddenly realized that she had lived eighteen years in vain. She actually didn¡¯t know how to fall in love or how to read a man¡¯s heart. If he didn¡¯t love her, why would he be so indulgent to her? Why would he be willing to put everything aside and stay here to accompany her? Why would he deliberately pass by the cinema at midnight that night just to make sure that she was really waiting foolishly? If you don¡¯t love¡­ He had left a long time ago. He wouldn¡¯t give her the chance to get close to him again and again, would he? However, he gave her hope while being cruel to her. Zuo Yue clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. .. Outside the door, Xu Chengfeng quickly walked downstairs. The moment he passed by the coffee table, he raised his foot and kicked the coffee table angrily. The crystal coffee table was kicked over, and everything on it fell to the ground. The loud noise broke the silence in the villa, but the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, turned around, and sat down on the sofa. She lowered her eyes and looked at the coffee table that had been kicked over by him in his unstable state of mind. Her gaze then slowly landed on the area between her legs. He closed his eyes in embarrassment when he saw his erect body part. It was unacceptable! The little girl¡¯s kiss was so immature that he had such a huge reaction. If he didn¡¯t push her away, he might not be able to control himself. Was it because the shackles of ethics and morality had caused such a huge wave in his heart, or did that girl really have such a great ability to make him almost abandon his rationality and have such a big reaction? He could not care less about the messy emotions rising in his heart. The image of Zuo Yue¡¯s naked and fair body under the towel after she fainted from the fever flashed in his mind. She was also asking him carefully by his cheek like a kitten. He could not even get rid of the young kiss just now. His lips were filled with the sweet scent of a girl. ¡°Sh-it!¡±Xu Chengfeng suddenly cursed, got up, and quickly walked into the bathroom. Chapter 995 - Chapter 995: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Agitation (80) Chapter 995: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Agitation (80) Xu Chengfeng only managed to calm down after the cold water was poured on his body. Standing under the rain, he looked at the gun that was no longer obvious in his lower abdomen. The girl who was forcefully abducted into a car in front of the medical university a few months ago, the frightened and confused eyes in the rain, he could not wash them away in his mind. Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and stood motionless under the cold water bath, allowing the cold water to pour down from above his head. She stayed in the bathroom for more than ten minutes and did not notice the commotion outside. Xu Chengfeng only put on his bathrobe when he felt the lust in his lower abdomen gradually subside. He stood in the bathroom for a moment and vaguely heard some movement outside. He paused and hesitantly opened the bathroom door and walked out. The moment he walked out of the bathroom, he saw a small figure squatting beside the coffee table that he had kicked over. It was picking up the broken crystal fragments on the ground and the things that had fallen on the coffee table. Seeing Zuo Yue, who had followed him down the stairs at some point in time, and then seeing her picking up the crystal fragments, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows furrowed tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t pick it up. Put it down.¡± he said coldly. However, Zuo Yue acted as if she did not hear him. She continued to lower her head and pick up the broken pieces. However, the broken pieces of the coffee table cut her fingers and bled. She continued to pick them up as if she did not feel anything. Seeing that her hand had been cut and blood was dripping on the ground, Xu Chengfeng took a deep breath and quickly walked over. He walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s side and stretched out his hand to forcefully pull her up.¡±I said don¡¯t pick it up! Do you hear me?¡± However, the moment Zuo Yue was forcefully pulled up, her eyes that were red from crying immediately fell into his line of sight. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression froze. He held her shoulders tightly and did not let go. He stared into her eyes and frowned. Zuo Yue was actually holding a piece of debris in her hand. She had already tidied up most of the mess on the ground, leaving only the debris to be cleaned up. She choked as she looked at the coldness in his eyes. Then, she looked at the way he had just taken a shower. Her eyes dimmed even more. She shook off his hand and squatted down to continue picking it up. The little girl seemed to be really hurt. She squatted on the ground and used her bleeding fingers to pick up the fragments. When she was cut again, she only trembled in pain but did not say anything. He knew that she was intentionally torturing herself, that she was hurt by his words, and that if this continued, she would give up sooner or later. Xu Chengfeng stared at her actions and kicked the pieces on the ground away. At the same time, he pulled her up with one hand. Zuo Yue staggered and fell into his arms. However, she stood there with red eyes and did not move. She did not take the initiative to lean towards him, nor did she retreat. She just lowered her head and did not say anything. ¡°How long did you cry for?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked. Zuo Yue choked on her sobs and shook her head.¡± ¡°Do you really think that I have a problem with my eyes? How dare you say that you didn¡¯t cry when you¡¯re crying like this?¡±Xu Chengfeng pulled the broken piece from her hand and threw it on the ground. At the same time, he held her chin and forced her to look up. Seeing her red and swollen eyes from crying, Xu Chengfeng frowned and looked at her blood-stained fingers. He said with an ugly expression,¡±¡±Your fingers don¡¯t hurt? Do you like to bleed that much?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so angry¡­¡± Zuo Yue retreated in fear when she saw his cold gaze. She said softly,¡±¡± I heard some movement downstairs when I was upstairs. When I ran down, I saw the coffee table in this state¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was speechless. ¡°I thought it was just a little willful. At most, you would ignore me for a day, but I didn¡¯t expect¡­ You actually hate me so much, to the point that you¡¯ll¡­¡± Zuo Yue glanced at the bathrobe he was wearing.¡±¡±Uncle, do you think I¡¯m especially dirty and disgusting?¡± Xu Chengfeng was speechless. How was he going to explain his emotions to this little girl? Silently, he held her chin tightly, but he could not say a word. Zuo Yue was in pain from his pinch, but she did not speak. She only looked at him with red eyes.¡±You¡¯ve been by my side for so long, tolerating me and taking care of me. I thought that you liked me at least. It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t want to cross the line because of the constraints of morality and blood ties. I thought that as long as I shamelessly pestered you, you would compromise sooner or later¡­¡± ¡°But I didn¡¯t expect you to be so angry and hate me so much¡­¡± ¡°Uncle, I know what to do in the future¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she endured the pain on her chin that was getting more and more painful. Her face was in so much pain that it turned pale, but she did not make a sound. Xu Chengfeng suddenly let go of her and did not say anything. Instead, he grabbed her hand and looked at her cut finger. He forcefully pulled her to sit on the sofa and did not look at the broken pieces of the coffee table on the floor. He warned her with his eyes not to move. Not long after, Xu Chengfeng came back with gauze and medicine. It seemed that after interacting with Zuo Yue, he had become so familiar with bandaging his wounds. Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and did not move. Her eyes were red as she watched Xu Chengfeng apply medicine for her. She sniffed. ¡°No matter what happens, there¡¯s no need to vent your anger on your own hands.¡±His voice was clear and emotionless. ¡°I¡¯m not venting my anger.¡± Zuo Yue said softly,¡±I feel that since I caused this trouble and made you so angry that you kicked the coffee table over, I should clean it up¡­¡± But I didn¡¯t expect that the fragment would be so sharp¡­ Uncle, I didn¡¯t mean to threaten you with blood and force you to be soft-hearted. I¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not that kind of person, I know.¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him with red eyes.¡±¡±I won¡¯t do that again. Uncle, don¡¯t be angry anymore, okay?¡± He heard the little girl begging him not to be angry and apologizing with red eyes. Xu Chengfeng was still speechless. How was he angry? If he was really angry, he was probably angry that he actually had evil thoughts about her. He was angry that he had developed a desire for her just because of a kiss. The Zuo Yue in front of him was only an eighteen-year-old girl. She was not sensible. Could it be that he was also not sensible? ¡°I¡¯m not angry.¡± He said softly, then raised her finger to his mouth and blew on it. Looking at her aggrieved eyes, he frowned and said,¡±Does it hurt?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head. There was no heartache. When she went downstairs and saw the debris on the ground, she felt as if the most terrifying thing had happened in front of her. She really did not expect him to be so angry¡­ She was especially afraid at that time, afraid that he would abandon her at the end of his patience. She just wanted to clean up the scene as soon as possible so that he wouldn¡¯t see those fragments after he came out of the shower and remember that she had kissed him forcefully. She was just trying to calm him down. However, she did not expect him to apply medicine and take care of her in the end. Chapter 996 - Chapter 996: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-A Concealed Phone Call (81) Chapter 996: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-A Concealed Phone Call (81) After applying the medicine, Zuo Yue obediently returned to her room and did not dare to say another word. Xu Chengfeng sat quietly on the sofa, silently looking at the broken pieces on the ground and the drops of blood between them. Zuo Yue returned to her room and lay on the bed, looking at the sky. Her eyes were filled with her youngest uncle¡¯s furious gaze. She turned over and closed her eyes, wanting to sleep, but she could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID. Zuo Yue¡¯s lips twitched. When she picked up the phone, there was a hint of a smile in her voice.¡±Hello? Julie?¡± ¡°Oh my god, Zuo Yue, you¡¯re finally willing to answer my call. Are you feeling better? You¡¯ve already applied for leave for so long. During this period of time, we called you, but no one picked up. We were so scared that we thought something had happened to you!¡± ¡°When I was hospitalized, I was only allowed to play with my phone for half an hour every day. Every time, my uncle would bring my phone to me. I didn¡¯t see any missed calls¡­¡± Zuo Yue whispered as she lay on the bed. ¡°Brother Ruisheng has been very worried about you recently. He calls you every day, but you never pick up.¡±Julie complained. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze. Yin Ruisheng called her? Could it be that every time the phone was in his uncle¡¯s hands, he saw it? But he didn¡¯t tell her about the phone call? ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Julie. I really didn¡¯t notice that you called me. I thought that the exam was coming up and that you were all very busy, so I didn¡¯t contact you.¡± ¡°Alright, I forgive you. It¡¯s good that your body is fine. How are you? Is he still very sick? It was really worrying to be on sick leave for so long.¡± ¡°She¡¯s already recovered. She¡¯s already gone home to recuperate. She¡¯ll probably be able to return to school in a few days, but she can¡¯t do too intense exercise.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. When you come back, our semester will be almost over, but Brother Ruisheng has been very worried about you. He hopes that after you contact us, you can tell him that you¡¯re safe.¡± Zuo Yue replied with an ¡± mm ¡± and did not say anything else. ¡°By the way, tomorrow is the weekend. We don¡¯t have any classes. Where are you staying now?¡± Zuo Yue was indeed very bored at home alone every day, but her uncle was here every day now. She was not sure if he would welcome her friends. ¡°It¡¯s in the villa area where you sent me back last time. I¡¯ll give you the specific address later.¡±After thinking for a while, Zuo Yue did not refuse. Perhaps she could meet up with her friends and chat with them to break the deadlock between her and her uncle. At least, it would not be like today, where he looked so angry¡­ After hanging up the phone, Zuo Yue lay on the bed for a while. She was thinking about the phone call Yin Ruisheng gave her. Why didn¡¯t her uncle tell her? After thinking for a long time, she still couldn¡¯t fall asleep. She suddenly got up and walked out of the bedroom. When she went downstairs, she realized that the mess in front of the sofa had been cleaned up. The floor was clean and bright. Other than the lack of a crystal coffee table, there was no damage or impact. Xu Chengfeng came out of the study with a few company documents in his hands. He found that Zuo Yue had gone downstairs again. Her fingers were still wrapped in white gauze, but the blood did not seep through the gauze. The amount of bleeding should not be large, and it had already stopped. Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away from her hand and looked at her again.¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you resting?¡± ¡°Uncle, that¡­¡± Zuo Yue stood on the stairs and said uneasily,¡±¡±Tomorrow, my friend wants to come here to see me.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand, which was flipping through the company documents, paused slightly. He raised his handsome eyebrows and asked calmly,¡±What friend?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my two good friends, Julie and Vera. They¡¯re two girls. They saw that I haven¡¯t been back to school for so long and were very worried about me. They heard that I had already returned home to recuperate, so they wanted to come and see me.¡±Zuo Yue said honestly. ¡°So be it. I¡¯m going to the company to inspect a new project tomorrow so that you won¡¯t be bored at home alone. It¡¯s not bad for them to come and accompany you.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face was filled with joy.¡± Really!¡± After all, this is your place. It¡¯s good that you don¡¯t find it noisy!¡± Xu Chengfeng snorted and looked at her cautious gaze again. In the end, he did not say anything. However, he could tell that Zuo Yue had been in a good mood and condition for the past few days after she returned. She would often act coquettishly in front of him, but because of what had happened just now¡­ This girl was really frightened. When she stood there and spoke to him, she did not dare to be too loud, as if she was afraid of angering him again. ¡°I¡¯m not that arbitrary. You young people like to gather together. Don¡¯t make the house too messy. I can accept it. Even if they come to see you every day, I won¡¯t say anything.¡± ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry. We won¡¯t mess up the house. I know you¡¯re a neat freak¡­¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue¡¯s expression relaxed a lot. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her again and turned around to return to the study. She paused and suddenly said,¡±¡±Oh right, uncle¡­ That¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked back at her,¡±What¡¯s wrong now?¡±¡± Zuo Yue bit her lip and looked at his calm and handsome face from afar. She said softly,¡±¡±Um, when I was hospitalized, did Yin Ruisheng call me?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression remained calm as he replied indifferently,¡±¡±Yes.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Zuo Yue found it strange,[I have known Brother Ruisheng since we were young, he must have been worried about me.] You should have told me when you found his number. They¡¯ve been worried about me all this time.¡± ¡°I forgot.¡± After Xu Chengfeng said that expressionlessly, he went straight into the study. Zuo Yue was stunned. ***** Night fell. Zuo Yue slept for the entire afternoon. After waking up, she got up from the bed and looked at the time. She realized that she had slept until she missed dinner time. She hurriedly got out of bed and ran out. The moment she opened the bedroom door, she seemed to smell the fragrance of food coming from downstairs. She then ran downstairs with a smile on her face. As soon as she ran downstairs, she found that there were a few Chinese side dishes that she liked to eat on the dining table, as well as a bowl of soup that could replenish qi and blood. There was only her cutlery on the table. The dishes were still warm, but Xu Chengfeng was nowhere to be seen. Zuo Yue sat at the table and scooped a small bowl of soup for herself. She looked in the direction of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bedroom and then in the direction of the study. She was not sure if he was home at the moment. He couldn¡¯t have gone out after helping her prepare dinner, right? She glanced at the empty spot in front of the sofa that lacked a coffee table. She picked up the bowl and looked around. She really did not know where her uncle had gone. Chapter 997 - Chapter 997: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Spring Light (82) Chapter 997: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Spring Light (82) Footsteps came from outside the door, but they didn¡¯t sound familiar. Zuo Yue listened carefully as she drank the soup. At the same time, Ainte¡¯s voice sounded from outside.¡±Boss, are you really going to stay at home with Miss Zuo? Was he going to stay in the villa every day and act like a stay-at-home man?¡± ¡°Pfft-¡± Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t help but spit it out. The person outside seemed to have heard the movement inside. Zuo Yue heard the sound of footsteps approaching and quickly got up to take out a tissue to wipe the soup stains on the table. In the end, her movements were too fast. Her hands lost their balance for a moment, and the soup in her hand, which wasn¡¯t considered hot but was still very hot, instantly spilled all over her. ¡°Aiya.¡± She let out a low cry and jumped up. The door opened at the same time. Xu Chengfeng, who was not wearing a coat, saw Zuo Yue¡¯s pajamas the moment he entered the door. For some reason, his face darkened. He suddenly threw a warning glance at Ainte outside the door and closed the door before Ainte could follow him in. Zuo Yue hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe the soup stains on her body as she turned to look at the door.¡±¡±Uncle, why didn¡¯t you let him in?¡± ¡°How is he going to get in with you like this?¡± Xu Chengfeng walked over. When he got closer and confirmed that she was not scalded, his gaze relaxed a lot. However, his gaze moved away from her unnaturally. Zuo Yue was stunned. She looked at him and then lowered her head to look at her pajamas. Her pajamas were white, the kind that was very comfortable when she slept. The color of the soup that her uncle made for her was not very dark, and when it spilled on her clothes, it was like water. Her pajamas were instantly soaked, and everything on her chest was exposed as if it was translucent. Zuo Yue had just woken up when she ran down. She was not wearing any underwear and was in a completely empty state. She lowered her head to take a look, then raised her eyes to look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s unnatural action of turning his eyes away. Her face flushed, but she was not particularly uncomfortable. Instead, she muttered softly,¡±¡±When you sent me to the hospital with a high fever, I was naked¡­I¡¯ve seen everything I need to see. I¡¯m not embarrassed, so what¡¯s there to be embarrassed about?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression froze when he realized that he had been forcefully seduced by this girl. He glanced at her, but deliberately ignored the faint glow of spring on her chest. He said seriously,¡±Go change your clothes.¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows. She wanted to say something, but she remembered that Ainte was still outside the door. The weather was so cold and it was snowing outside. It was not good to let her stay outside. So, she could only look at Xu Chengfeng again and whisper,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t realize that you were still so innocent at your age, uncle¡­¡± ¡°Get up and change your clothes! So much nonsense! Xu Chengfeng scolded her. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, giggled. She suddenly realized that her uncle was actually quite cute when he was embarrassed. As long as he wasn¡¯t angry, she liked any expression. Really, as long as he wasn¡¯t angry, she was especially attracted to him. This way of falling in love so quickly caught Zuo Yue off guard, but what could she do? This man really moved her in all aspects. She turned around and walked towards the stairs. As she walked, she deliberately walked past him. Xu Chengfeng gave her a warning look, but Zuo Yue tilted her head and looked at him. She deliberately brushed her shoulder against his arm. Xu Chengfeng immediately gave her a warning look, but Zuo Yue ran back upstairs with a smile. She couldn¡¯t force a kiss on him openly, but secretly flirt with him for no reason. Was that okay? Moreover, he wanted to be angry but couldn¡¯t. He wanted to scold her but couldn¡¯t. Why was she in such a good mood? He went upstairs to take a quick shower, then changed into a more conservative set of pajamas and went downstairs. As expected, Ainte had already entered, but it was obvious that his BOSS was not in a good mood. Ainte stood in the hall with an innocent look on his face. Xu Chengfeng did not even let him sit down. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you sitting?¡± Zuo Yue acted as if she was the master of the house. She pointed at the sofa opposite Xu Chengfeng and looked at Ait.¡±Sit there.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo.¡± Ainte saw Zuo Yue and smiled at her.¡±¡±I won¡¯t be sitting. I came here to look for the BOSS because of something I had to do at the last minute. We just chatted outside the door.¡± ¡°Your BOSS is not a man-eating tiger. Why are you so afraid of him?¡±Zuo Yue walked over with a smile and sat down beside Xu Chengfeng. She stole a glance at him and saw that his expression was calm. It seemed that Ainte did not come to talk to him about anything unhappy. Therefore, she carefully moved closer to him and stuck close to him. She raised her hand and poked his shoulder with her finger. Xu Chengfeng shot her a cold glance.¡±¡±What are you doing?¡± ¡°Then, look.¡± Zuo Yue continued to poke his shoulder.¡±¡±He has such a good temper. He¡¯s not angry at all. Why are you so afraid of him?¡± ¡°..¡±Ainte didn¡¯t speak. Ainte sighed in his heart,[Boss is only so gentle in front of you¡­] You, Miss Zuo, are indeed the first person in the world to dare to poke the shoulder of the Russian Blood King. However, Ainte did not dare to say this. He just stood at the side with a smile and did not dare to say anything. Xu Chengfeng realized that Ainte really did not dare to speak. He just let her poke him randomly, but his eyes looked at her coldly with a silent warning. Zuo Yue felt bored after poking for a while. She then pursed her lips and withdrew her hand, but she still sat beside him. She raised her eyes and signaled Ainte to sit down with her eyes. Ait smiled and shook his head. He even raised his hand and waved, indicating that he wouldn¡¯t sit. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± I just heard you say that your BOSS is a stay-at-home man.¡±¡± Ainte immediately raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. He coughed lightly and said,¡±¡±I was just joking.¡± ¡°Alright then, you guys can talk about whatever you want to talk about. I¡¯ll go eat something and won¡¯t disturb you guys anymore.¡±Zuo Yue deliberately teased Xu Chengfeng for a while. Seeing that these two men did not give her any face at all, she could only stand up sulkily and not continue to sit there and affect their business. When she returned to the dining table, the dishes were still warm. She sat down and ate while looking in the direction of Xu Chengfeng and Ainte from time to time. However, she heard Ainte speak in a language that she did not understand. That was¡­ Is it the local language of Russia? She had never heard of it before, but it sounded pretty good. However, since they were speaking in Russian, they should be talking about something related to what happened over there. What kind of existence was her uncle in that mysterious Russia? All of a sudden, she felt as if she was looking at her uncle holding a gun. He must be so cold and cool that he was so handsome that he would infuriate even the gods! Chapter 998 - Chapter 998: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Tenderly (83) Chapter 998: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Tenderly (83) The next morning. ¡°Uncle, can you teach me a few words of Russian?¡±Zuo Yue was eating her toast as she glanced at Xu Chengfeng, who was reading a business magazine. Xu Chengfeng took a sip of coffee on the table and glanced at her.¡±¡±Why are you learning Russian?¡± ¡°Last night, when I was listening to your conversation with Ainte, I suddenly realized that Russian was very nice. Although I didn¡¯t understand it, I thought it was very nice, so I wanted to learn it.¡±Zuo Yue poked her fork in the plate and looked at him from time to time. Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, then he chuckled and said a string of words that she did not understand. Zuo Yue thought that he was going to teach her, so she quickly pricked up her ears to listen. In the end, he didn¡¯t say anything else after saying that. It was obvious that he had no intention of teaching her. ¡°What did you mean by that?¡±Zuo Yue asked curiously. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you another day when I have time. I have to go to the office today. Isn¡¯t your friend coming over today?¡±Xu Chengfeng put down the magazine in his hand. ¡°Oh, they probably won¡¯t be here until the afternoon. What did you mean by that just now?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. Instead, he went to the study room and took out a Russian language dictionary and placed it on the table.¡± Look at it yourself. If you insist on learning something so difficult, I¡¯ll teach you later.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he took his coat and walked out of the door. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and reached out to take the thick dictionary. She chewed on her toast while reading the contents of the dictionary. Half an hour later, Zuo Yue went to bring the computer over and searched it together with the dictionary. She remembered the pronunciation of her uncle¡¯s sentence just now, but it was a little difficult to find out because she had no idea where to start. When she finally combined the pronunciation and grammar to translate the sentence, she rolled her eyes at the dictionary in her hand. That sentence actually meant ¡± a child who gives me a headache.¡± Was there really any meaning in silently criticizing him? Since she didn¡¯t understand Russian, she really had to learn it. ***** Zuo Yue had been learning some simple pronunciations with a dictionary and a tablet the entire morning. Just after noon, Julie and Weina arrived, but Zuo Yue did not expect there to be another person. When she saw Yin Ruisheng appear, Zuo Yue was stunned.¡±¡±You guys¡­What is this?¡± ¡°I met Brother Ruisheng outside school last night. I told Weina that I would come to see you today. He said that he had nothing to do today and planned to come over to see you.¡±As Julie spoke, she changed her shoes and ran straight into the house. She hugged Zuo Yue tightly and affectionately. Zuo Yue¡¯s body had yet to recover. Being hugged by Julie with such force, she could not support herself anymore and took two steps back before she managed to stand firm. ¡± Aiya, are you alright?¡± Julie did not expect that she would almost fall on Zuo Yue. She quickly supported Zuo Yue and asked with concern. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue smiled and gestured for Julie and Weina to sit down. In the blink of an eye, she saw Yin Ruisheng standing in front of the door without changing his shoes.¡±Why don¡¯t you come in and sit?¡± ¡°I came to see you without greeting you. Is it very rude?¡±Yin Ruisheng smiled.¡± Zuo Yue, I¡¯m just here to see you. It¡¯s fine as long as I¡¯m sure you¡¯re fine. If it¡¯s not convenient, I¡¯ll just take a look and leave. There¡¯s no need to go in.¡±¡± ¡°You¡¯re already here. What¡¯s the inconvenience? There¡¯s no one else at my house at the moment.¡±Zuo Yue smiled and walked over.¡± I was just surprised that you came along because they didn¡¯t tell me.¡± You¡¯re not an outsider. Since you¡¯re here to see me, I can¡¯t ask you to leave.¡± Yin Ruisheng looked at Zuo Yue, who was wearing pajamas and had her hair down, and seemed a little embarrassed.¡±¡±This is a gathering for you girls¡­¡± ¡°Auspicious Prosperity, you were clearly worried sick about Zuo Yue. You¡¯re already here, why are you still leaving?¡±Julie said loudly,¡± You¡¯ve been asking about Zuo Yue¡¯s recent situation for more than a month. You were afraid that something would happen to her, but you couldn¡¯t contact her. Now that you¡¯ve finally seen her, why don¡¯t you come in and sit for a while?¡±¡± ¡± That¡¯s right. Brother Rui Sheng, you could have begged us to let you come with us last night. You even specially treated us to a big meal for Zuo Yue. Now that you¡¯re finally here, what are you embarrassed about?¡± Yin Ruisheng glanced at the two girls who kept causing trouble and then looked at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue smiled and reached out to pull his sleeve.¡±¡±Come in.¡± Yin Ruisheng observed her expression. After a moment of silence, he finally walked in. However, since there were three girls here, he sat on the single-seater sofa opposite them like a gentleman and did not go over. Zuo Yue was busy at the same time. She went to fetch fruits and water. Seeing that Zuo Yue was fine, Julie and Weina sat on the sofa and chatted about Zuo Yue while eating. Yin Ruisheng stood up and took the new fruit platter from Zuo Yue¡¯s hands. At the same time, he gestured for her to sit down.¡±Go talk to them. I¡¯ll help you.¡± ¡°No need, that¡¯s all. I didn¡¯t go out yesterday, so I didn¡¯t prepare anything.¡±Zuo Yue smiled and handed him the fruit platter. Then, she walked over and sat on the sofa. Because the sofa opposite was occupied by Wei Na and Wei Li, Zuo Yue had to sit opposite Yin Ruisheng on the same sofa. Seeing that Julie and Weina were only focused on eating and drinking, they did not realize that the coffee table was brand new. Zuo Yue just picked up the fruit and handed it to Yin Ruisheng. Yin Ruisheng smiled and gently pushed her hand away. He did not take it and said,¡±¡±You¡¯ve lost a lot of weight. What¡¯s wrong with you? Why did he take such a long sick leave? And I haven¡¯t been able to contact you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sick. I just suffered some minor injuries.¡±Zuo Yue said softly. ¡°Injured?¡± Julie looked at her in surprise. Did you fight with someone?¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She fell down a little, and then it was a little heavy. She had to recuperate in the hospital for a period of time, but she had recovered now.¡± Julie and Vera both looked at Zuo Yue carefully. They saw that her hands, feet, and head that were exposed outside her clothes did not have any signs of injury. Although they were still a little worried, they did not say anything more when they saw that she was in good condition. Yin Ruisheng glanced at her fingers.¡±¡±What happened to your hand?¡± ¡°What? I accidentally broke something yesterday and cut my finger. It¡¯s a small injury. It has nothing to do with me being hospitalized.¡±Zuo Yue said awkwardly. Because Yin Ruisheng had already sat closer to her when he asked her the question. His clean scent lingered in her nose. She rarely got so close to a boy, let alone Yin Ruisheng, whom she had met when she was young. She didn¡¯t know how to describe this feeling. Chapter 999 - Chapter 999: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Ill Be By Your Side (84) Chapter 999: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-I¡¯ll Be By Your Side (84) Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand reached over and held her hand. He pulled her to him without giving her any chance to resist. He looked carefully at the spot on her hand that had been treated and bandaged. He tightened his grip on her hand. Zuo Yue wanted to pull her hand out but failed. She stared blankly at Yin Ruisheng¡¯s expression as he stared at her hand. She did not know what he was thinking. Seeing this, Julie and Vina quickly covered their eyes with a snickering expression. At the same time, the two of them suddenly stood up and ran to the window, saying,¡±Why don¡¯t we go upstairs and take a look? Zuo Yue, is it convenient for us to go upstairs?¡± Zuo Yue did not react for a moment. In the blink of an eye, she saw that the two of them had already gone up the stairs. She could not help but say,¡±It¡¯s convenient, but why are you guys going up? There was only a bedroom and two guest rooms upstairs. There was also a walk-in closet for the spare study room. There was nothing worth looking at.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that it¡¯s convenient. If we don¡¯t go upstairs, do we have to go out? It¡¯s not comfortable being a third wheel here, isn¡¯t it, Julie?¡± Julie also laughed,¡±Yes!¡± Julie and Vera rushed upstairs. Zuo Yue was stunned and was about to get up. However, before she could stand up, she was suddenly pulled down by Yin Ruisheng beside her. Zuo Yue staggered back to the sofa and turned to look at Yin Ruisheng in shock.¡±¡±You¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no one else here now.¡± Yin Ruisheng grabbed her hand forcefully and did not let her run away. At the same time, his dark eyes stared at Zuo Yue¡¯s slightly embarrassed eyes.¡±Tell me, have you been deliberately avoiding me during this period of time?¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment and sat back down beside him.¡±¡±No, everyone knows that I¡¯m sick. My phone isn¡¯t with me, so¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that you didn¡¯t pick up my call.¡±Yin Ruisheng looked at her.¡± Zuo Yue, I¡¯m not forcing you to do anything. It¡¯s just a casual joke I made when we were young. Although I took it seriously, I won¡¯t let you bear any consequences for what you said when we were young. Just tell me, are you avoiding me, or are you just¡­¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t avoid it, Brother Ruisheng.¡±Zuo Yue looked up at him, but when she met his gaze, she remembered what he said in the PUB that day. He said it, and he took it seriously. She had to admit that she had been moved for a moment, and her heart trembled. However, after that, she felt that it was too fast and too sudden, so she didn¡¯t give him a response. If the man was her, she would really be serious. ¡± When I said I wanted to find a boyfriend last time, I was just joking. But Julie and Vina were so enthusiastic that we ended up having a social gathering. I was just having fun at that time. I didn¡¯t want to find a boyfriend so easily¡­¡± Zuo Yue said while looking at his hand on her wrist. After hesitating for a moment, she said,¡±¡± Also, Brother Ruisheng, I remember you. I also remember what happened when we were young. But in my heart, you¡¯re a good brother, a person who treats me very well, a very warm person. When I¡¯m not ready, when I don¡¯t have a suitable relationship to be with you, I don¡¯t want to be so reckless to date you. After all, I don¡¯t want to play with someone¡¯s feelings, and I don¡¯t want that person to be you.¡± ¡°Was the person who took you away in the PUB really your uncle?¡±Yin Ruisheng suddenly changed the topic. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused, as if she understood what he meant. She looked around. Although the villa didn¡¯t have any special design, Yin Ruisheng could easily sense that there was another owner in the villa, and it was a male owner. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s my uncle. This is his house. You know that our Zuo family is in Los Angeles, and we don¡¯t have any plans to live in Boston, so they didn¡¯t buy me a house here.¡± Hearing this answer, Yin Ruisheng seemed to be relieved and gradually let go of her hand. Seeing his expression, it was not difficult for Zuo Yue to guess that he probably thought she was living with some man. ¡°It¡¯s really my uncle¡¯s place. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡±Zuo Yue smiled and said. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s expression softened a lot, but he suddenly sighed and laughed.¡±That uncle of yours looks like¡­ He¡¯s very young and doesn¡¯t seem to be much older than us.¡± ¡°Yes¡­ When my grandfather was very old, he was outside¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at him meaningfully.¡±¡±You know, the kind that gives birth to a child when he¡¯s old. That¡¯s why my uncle is much younger than my mother. He¡¯s only nine years older than me.¡± Yin Ruisheng nodded. ¡°I feel like your uncle is not very patient with you¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng continued,¡± If you¡¯re not comfortable living here, my parents bought me two apartments here because I came to America to study. If you¡¯re willing, I can tidy up the other apartment and let you live there.¡±¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. My uncle rarely comes back. He only comes back a few times a month.¡±Zuo Yue smiled and said,¡±Thank you, Brother Rui Sheng. Actually, I live here most of the time.¡± ¡± Yin Ruisheng looked at her, not forgetting the men¡¯s indoor slippers he saw when he entered the door. It was obvious that her little uncle had just left not long ago. ¡°I just feel that Zuo Yue, you are no longer a child. Regardless of whether that person is your uncle or a closer blood relationship, it is more appropriate for a girl of your age to live alone.¡± ¡°My mom isn¡¯t even worried about these things. Don¡¯t worry about them.¡±Zuo Yue smiled and said frankly,¡± Julie and Weina have always misunderstood that there¡¯s something going on between us. They¡¯ve all run upstairs now. I¡¯ll go get them.¡±¡± Zuo Yue was about to stand up when Yin Ruisheng suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist again. Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. ¡°Zuo Yue, let me take care of her, isn¡¯t that good?¡±Yin Ruisheng stood up and stood in front of her. He was a few meters tall and was much taller than her. When he walked up to her, Zuo Yue felt an inexplicable sense of pressure. She instinctively took a step back, but her waist suddenly tightened. The moment Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand wrapped around her waist and pressed her into his embrace, her entire body instantly tensed up. ¡°Brother Ruisheng¡­ I¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t force you to do anything, but Zuo Yue, if you don¡¯t have someone suitable to take care of you, of course, your uncle is an exception. He is your family, but he is not your boyfriend.¡±Yin Ruisheng said,¡±I¡¯m very worried about your illness this time. I really want to stay by your side.¡±¡± Chapter 1000 - Chapter 1000: Asking the Moon in the Wind-He Encountered Me (85) Chapter 1000: Asking the Moon in the Wind-He Encountered Me (85) ¡°The feeling of wanting to protect you by your side is very strong, and it¡¯s even stronger because you¡¯ve lost contact with me.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, give me a chance. Even if it¡¯s just a try, don¡¯t push me away too early.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve lost a lot of weight compared to the past few days. If I can stay by your side, I¡¯ll definitely raise you until you¡¯re fat and won¡¯t let you suffer any grievances.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t run too fast. Give us a chance, okay?¡± Yin Ruisheng had said so many things in a row that Zuo Yue was somewhat absent-minded. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s handsome face was in front of her, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold face was reflected in her mind. ¡°Big Brother Rui Sheng¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind if you can¡¯t accept it, but don¡¯t avoid me. At least we¡¯re still friends. If there¡¯s anything you need, you can find me at any time. You don¡¯t have to bear it alone. After all, you¡¯re not familiar with this place.¡± Zuo Yue lowered her head.¡± Then let¡¯s be friends. I¡¯m not ready yet. Besides, I don¡¯t have the mood to do that right now¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng looked at her for a long time. He was sure that she meant what she said. Although he was a little disappointed, he still smiled generously and let go of her. Zuo Yue hurriedly took a step back and finally pulled herself out of the aura on his body. It was different¡­It really felt different¡­ Even if Yin Rui was tall, handsome, and charming, even if many young girls were obsessed with him, even if he gave people a feeling that he was not annoying at all, on the contrary, when he was overbearing, he would be overbearing, and when he should give in, he would give in. He was really a very, very good person. However, she found that she could not be moved no matter what. Her heart felt as if it was completely filled with a person. Before this, she was not sure whether her feelings for Xu Chengfeng were those of a man and a woman, or just pure infatuation. At this moment, she was finally certain. Her uncle was irreplaceable in her world. He occupied everything in her and made her unable to extricate herself. At the thought of this, she suddenly glanced at the pair of men¡¯s indoor slippers in front of the door. She recalled the scene in the morning when Xu Chengfeng laughed and mocked her in Russian as a child who gave her a headache. Her face suddenly turned hot and her heart beat wildly. Noticing where Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were looking, Yin Ruisheng paused for a moment and looked over as well. When he saw the pair of indoor shoes, his eyes froze and he looked at Zuo Yue. Seeing the flash of emotion in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes and her gradually blushing face, his heart skipped a beat.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, you?¡± Zuo Yue regained her senses and looked up at him.¡±¡±I¡¯ll call them down. There¡¯s nothing to eat at home. You guys didn¡¯t eat before you came, right? There¡¯s a big supermarket across the street, and there¡¯s a good French restaurant downstairs.¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue turned and ran upstairs. Yin Ruisheng stood where he was and looked back at the pair of indoor shoes in front of the door. His eyes were thoughtful. If he saw it correctly, Zuo Yue¡¯s expression when she looked at the pair of shoes earlier¡­ Yin Ruisheng frowned. .. ¡°Aiya, you two are talking so quickly? I thought Big Brother Ruisheng would hug you and chat with you for a long time after finally seeing you. I didn¡¯t expect Big Brother Ruisheng¡¯s combat strength to disappoint me so much!¡±Julie and Viena giggled as they walked down the stairs. ¡°He and I are just friends. Can the two of you not always match up?¡±Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at them. However, Julie ignored her. When she arrived downstairs, she looked at Yin Ruisheng excitedly. Her eyes were obviously asking if he had taken down Zuo Yue. Her eyes were burning with all kinds of gossipy flames. Yin Ruisheng sighed and shook his head, meaning that he didn¡¯t intend to pester Zuo Yue too much when she didn¡¯t have any thoughts. Julie pouted in disappointment and turned to Zuo Yue.¡±¡±Why are you so stubborn? So many girls want to woo Ruisheng Bro but can¡¯t get him. Weina and I even brought him here to see you, but you don¡¯t know how lucky you are. It¡¯s rare for Ruisheng Bro to put in so much effort for a girl, but he was rejected. It¡¯s heartbreaking to see him.¡± ¡°If your heart aches, then go ahead. You know that he¡¯s a good man, but you still want to push him to me. Are you out of your mind?¡±Zuo Yue smiled and pushed her.¡± This topic ends here and now. Brother Ruisheng and I are just very good friends. Just like you guys, we are good friends. Let¡¯s go and eat.¡±¡± Julie rolled her eyes at her.¡± Don¡¯t the Chinese have a saying that ¡®keep your fertile water within your own fields¡¯?¡± ¡°Stop coming. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. Our house is so big that it can¡¯t accommodate the three of you. Go eat. Don¡¯t stand at home looking at each other.¡±Zuo Yue nudged Julie and Weina, then turned to Yin Ruisheng with a smile.¡±¡±You guys sit on the sofa and eat some fruit. Wait for me. I¡¯ll go change my clothes and come back soon.¡± ¡°You just remembered to change your clothes? I thought you were going to eat with us in your pajamas.¡±Vera said with a smile. Zuo Yue ignored them and quickly returned to the bedroom upstairs. She simply combed her hair into a ponytail and changed into a thick and warm cashmere coat. When she was finally done packing and was about to leave with them, Julie and Viena walked to the front and were about to change their shoes when they noticed the pair of men¡¯s indoor shoes at the door. They looked at each other in surprise and then turned back to Zuo Yue.¡±Zuo Yue, why is there a man in your house¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng stood behind Zuo Yue and did not speak. Zuo Yue also glanced at them. Before he could explain, the door suddenly opened. When Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure appeared in front of the door, not only did Julie, Weina, and Yin Ruisheng not recover from their shock, even Zuo Yue was stunned. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was very calm when he saw the young people in front of him who were not unfamiliar but not particularly familiar. He then looked at Zuo Yue calmly.¡±¡±Going out?¡± ¡°Uh¡­There wasn¡¯t much to eat at home, so I wanted to go to the French restaurant opposite with them. We wouldn¡¯t go too far.¡±Zuo Yue told him honestly. ¡°Is this Zuo Yue¡¯s super handsome uncle?¡±Julie and Weina whispered to each other and looked at Xu Chengfeng from time to time. Their eyes were red. Zuo Yue was about to ask them how they knew about her uncle. After all, she did not seem to have mentioned it before. However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any special reaction to what Julie and Weina said. His gaze only landed in the direction of Yin Ruisheng. Just a moment ago, Yin Ruisheng was originally standing behind Zuo Yue. The moment he saw Xu Chengfeng enter the door, he suddenly placed his hand gently on Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder. Chapter 1001 - Chapter 1001: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Girlfriend (86) Chapter 1001: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Girlfriend (86) His gaze only landed in the direction of Yin Ruisheng. Just a moment ago, Yin Ruisheng was originally standing behind Zuo Yue. The moment he saw Xu Chengfeng enter the door, he suddenly placed his hand gently on Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder. Zuo Yue was also stunned for a moment. Before she could come back to her senses, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes had already met Yin Ruisheng¡¯s cold gaze. ¡°Hello, Uncle.¡± Yin Ruisheng silently tightened his grip on Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder, as if he was forcefully pulling Zuo Yue back from an unclear world. At the same time, he calmly met Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze. At the same time, he addressed her very naturally and deliberately. ¡°Ahhhhh, Zuo Yue, your uncle is so handsome. Do you need an aunt?¡±Julie and Weina whispered in Zuo Yue¡¯s ear excitedly. The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched, but for a moment, she did not know why her uncle¡¯s eyes were so cold. It took her a long time to notice Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand on her shoulder. She quickly raised her hand to push it away, but Yin Ruisheng suddenly pulled her into his arms. It was not until Zuo Yue staggered into his arms that the seemingly intimate action made Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes especially silent and dark. However, Xu Chengfeng looked at this scene quietly and did not say anything. Yin Ruisheng said before Zuo Yue was about to speak,¡±It just so happens that your uncle is back. It¡¯s not good for us to continue disturbing you here. Let¡¯s go and eat something first.¡± As he spoke, he forcefully held Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder and brushed past Xu Chengfeng. Zuo Yue did not know what was wrong with Yin Ruisheng. He had clearly accepted the setting of being a good friend, but what was he doing? As soon as she walked past Xu Chengfeng, she turned and glared at Yin Ruisheng. However, he had no intention of paying attention to her at all and directly dragged her out forcefully. ¡°Yin¡­¡± ¡°Go out first. I¡¯ll explain to you later.¡±Yin Ruisheng said in a low voice and dragged Zuo Yue, who had a confused expression on her face, to the door of the villa. Julie and Weina were still inside the door of the new era. They looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s calm and cold eyes. The man in front of them was not inferior to the school hunk Yin Ruisheng at all. He even had a different kind of masculine charm. The charm of a mature man made Julie and Weina blush and their hearts beat faster in front of him. However, Yin Ruisheng and Zuo Yue had already left the house, and it was not good for them to be too cocky in front of Zuo Yue¡¯s elders. Thus, they could only whisper,¡±¡±Then, Uncle, let¡¯s go eat first. We can chat together if we have the chance in the future ~¡± ¡°Bye, Uncle ~¡± It was not until the two little girls ran out shyly in front of her that the entrance of the villa instantly fell silent. Xu Chengfeng remained where he was after Yin Ruisheng pulled him away intimately. He maintained the same posture as when he first entered the door. There was no one in the hall, but his gaze was fixated on a certain spot in the hall, losing focus. The laughter and noise of the young people behind him gradually faded away. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened as he slowly raised his hand and placed it on the door handle, but he did not close the door. ***** Zuo Yue finally broke free from Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Brother RuiSheng, what were you doing just now?¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue was a little unhappy, Yin Ruisheng took the opportunity to look at her seriously for a while before Julie and Weina came over and said softly,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I think you have to move out.¡± Zuo Yue did not pay attention to his expression and only sighed and smiled.¡±¡±My uncle rarely comes back to stay. He just left this morning because he had something to do at the company. I didn¡¯t expect him to come back so early.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I mean?¡± Yin Ruisheng¡¯s voice suddenly turned serious.¡±¡±I said you have to. You have to come out and live alone. You can¡¯t stay there anymore.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly looked at him strangely, but when she saw Yin Ruisheng¡¯s eyes, she was stunned. It was as if someone had discovered something that she had secretly buried in her heart. Her face instantly paled. Although she didn¡¯t feel guilty about going against her blood relationship to like her youngest uncle, once others found out about this, it was impossible for her not to feel anything. Zuo Yue turned around and walked quickly to Julie and Weina¡¯s side when they walked over. It was as if she had not said anything to Yin Ruisheng just now. She pulled them into the dining room. In the dining room, Yin Ruisheng sat beside her, cutting her steak or pouring her juice from time to time. Zuo Yue thanked him profusely but did not dare to look at him. Halfway through, she even carefully took out her phone to take a look. Her phone was very quiet. Her little uncle did not call her, nor did he send a message to her asking when she was going back. He had come back so early, so he didn¡¯t know if he had eaten or not. He also didn¡¯t know if he should pack some food when he went back later. But he didn¡¯t seem to like takeout. Zuo Yue was secretly conflicted when Yin Ruisheng suddenly scooped some borscht for her. He then turned to see her staring at her phone and said softly,¡±¡±Stop looking. There won¡¯t be any results even if you keep looking. Can you eat in peace?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly looked up at Yin Ruisheng. She had never realized that a sharp man could be so scary. He had only stayed in the villa for a short while, but he had discovered so much from her actions and eyes. ¡°Brother Ruisheng, you might be thinking too much.¡±Zuo Yue said vaguely, then put her phone away and picked up the spoon to drink the soup. Julie had been whispering something to Vina when she suddenly looked in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction and said,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, does your uncle have a girlfriend?¡± Initially, Yin Ruisheng¡¯s vague warning had allowed Zuo Yue to remain calm. However, Julie¡¯s blatant question made Zuo Yue choke. She coughed several times before she looked up at Julie, who was still staring at her with red hearts.¡±Why do you ask?¡± ¡°Before we came, Brother Ruisheng mentioned that it was your uncle who took you away at the PUB last time. Weina and I were sure that the handsome guy we saw that time was actually your uncle! She didn¡¯t expect him to really be one! She did not expect to meet him today! You should have told me earlier that you were living with your uncle. If I had known earlier, I would have dressed up properly!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Zuo Yue, your uncle is so young and handsome. Does he have a girlfriend?¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She put down the spoon and slowly stirred the soup. As she stirred, she said thoughtfully,¡±¡±I think there is¡­¡± ¡°What? You really have a girlfriend?¡± Julie and Vena looked disappointed.¡±¡± I knew it was impossible for such a charming man not to have a girlfriend. There are definitely many women like your uncle who want to climb into his bed one after another¡­¡± Chapter 1002 - Chapter 1002: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Anger (87) Chapter 1002: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Anger (87) ¡°Cough¡­¡± Zuo Yue coughed violently again. Yes, yes, there were many women who wanted to climb into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bed. Even she herself was one of them. But Yin Ruisheng was sitting next to them. She didn¡¯t want to tease them, so she just laughed and didn¡¯t dare to say anything. In fact, Yin Ruisheng would not interfere in her business. It was just a warning. Zuo Yue understood that he was doing this for her own good. However, when it came to relationships, women would always put their feelings first. All obstacles around them would be seen as enemies by her, and she was no exception. Therefore, Yin Ruisheng, who had keen senses, was now her number one enemy. She had to be very careful. ***** She had finally sent those gods of plague away. Although they had come to visit her, and Yin Ruisheng was the one who paid the bill in the end, Zuo Yue was still pierced by the sharp eyes of these three gods of plague. In the end, she was just short of kneeling down and begging for mercy. Finally, everyone went back to their homes. They were just opposite the villa. Zuo Yue was about to go back by herself when Yin Ruisheng suddenly appeared in front of her. The moment she saw Yin Ruisheng, the originally warm man made her suddenly want to avoid him. Her eyes avoided his face, but Yin Ruisheng said,¡±Zuo Yue, you¡¯re a very smart girl. Don¡¯t take the wrong path. Don¡¯t do anything that you¡¯ll regret.¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at him.¡± ¡°Of course I hope it¡¯s just a misunderstanding, but a person¡¯s eyes can¡¯t deceive others. That uncle of yours¡­¡± ¡°He¡­¡± He paused for a moment. ¡°I¡¯m going back. We¡¯ll meet again after I recover and return to school.¡±Zuo Yue smiled at him and avoided the topic. She turned around and left. Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t chase after her. He just looked at her back and sighed slightly. What he wanted to say was that her uncle obviously had feelings for her, and it was not just a relationship between uncle and niece. The man understood men too well. With just a glance, even if it was a person who did not show his emotions, Yin Ruisheng was too observant. With just a glance, he could tell that the uncle did not have a desire to monopolize Zuo Yue. However, those desires were only hidden under the calm surface. Such a man was too dangerous. If Zuo Yue really fell into his trap, how could she resist him? .. Crossing the road, Zuo Yue was still in a daze because of Yin Ruisheng¡¯s words. When she returned to the front of the villa and pressed the password to open the door, she still did not come back to her senses. When she entered the door, she had a troubled look on her face. However, just as she walked in, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting quietly on the sofa. She was surprised that he did not even change out of his coat. It seemed that he had been waiting for her since he entered the door. Zuo Yue walked over in a daze.¡± Uncle, why didn¡¯t you change your outer clothes?¡±¡± ¡°I still have to go out in the afternoon. I¡¯ll leave after I come back to get something. There¡¯s no need to change.¡±Xu Chengfeng replied and glanced at her at the same time.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, sit down.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue saw that he seemed to have something to say to her, so she obediently walked over, took off her coat, and placed her hands on the sofa. Then, she sat on the sofa opposite him. ¡°I saw that guy in a PUB before. When you were hospitalized, he kept calling to show his concern for you.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her directly and said coldly,¡±¡±He likes you?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment.¡± Uncle, don¡¯t misunderstand. Brother Ruisheng and I are just¡­¡± ¡°At your age, you really should be in a good relationship. Only after you understand right and wrong can you understand what love is.¡±However, what Xu Chengfeng said next made Zuo Yue¡¯s heart sink to the bottom of the valley.¡±I can tell that he cares a lot about you, and from his speech and behavior, he¡¯s a good guy. At first, I didn¡¯t want you to casually date another guy just to protect you. I did deliberately hide the fact that you didn¡¯t receive his call in the hospital, but from the looks of it now, he does care a lot about you, and his intuition is sharp. He¡¯s a boy with a fast brain, and his future development won¡¯t be bad.¡± ¡°Uncle, what are you trying to say¡­¡± Zuo Yue had thought that he was jealous, but in the end, she realized that was not the case. ¡°If you have feelings for each other, I agree to your relationship. I won¡¯t stop you as an elder.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her indifferently.¡±¡±This is what I wanted to say.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything at first and looked at him quietly. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly laughed, but it was a cold smile. ¡°So you waited for me here just to let me find a boyfriend or to push me away.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, I¡¯m doing this for your own good. You need a normal relationship so that you can differentiate between a man and a woman.¡±Seeing the sadness and sneer in her eyes, Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡±¡±I¡¯m thinking from your point of view.¡± ¡°In addition¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng continued,¡± Although I won¡¯t insist on leaving, I do need to find time to go to Russia. After your injuries have fully recovered, I¡¯ll arrange for a nanny to take care of your daily life. I¡¯ll come back as soon as possible.¡± No matter how far the matter between you and that boy has developed, you don¡¯t have to tell me. You¡¯re young people, and young people have their own lives and thoughts¡­¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Zuo Yue suddenly stood up. Her eyes were red, but she sneered and said,¡±¡±No matter how you push me away or reject me, I can tolerate it. But now, you¡¯re pushing me away forcefully from another man, and it¡¯s a man that I¡¯ve never liked! Have you considered my feelings?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to like me! They could also be unable to overcome the barrier of blood relations! He could even hide far away and not come back! But you can¡¯t push me to another person without permission! Xu Chengfeng! Am I an item? If you don¡¯t care, you can just hand me over to someone else?¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned. That was not what he meant, but he obviously did not intend to explain. Zuo Yue suddenly picked up her coat from the sofa, turned around, and walked out. Seeing this, Xu Chengfeng suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist.¡±¡± What are you doing?¡± Zuo Yue turned her head and looked coldly at the look in his eyes, which clearly showed that he still wanted to discipline and restrain himself. She sneered and was about to shake him off.¡±Let me go! Didn¡¯t you ask me to get a boyfriend? I¡¯ll go find Yin Ruisheng! I¡¯m going to get a room with him! I¡¯m going to find him to sleep with! I¡¯m now tying myself and another man, firmly tied together, a point of retreat, all don¡¯t give yourself, so later there¡¯s no reason to entangle you, this is not what you want?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mess around!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face turned cold. He held her hand tightly and forcefully pulled her back. ¡°Let go! I¡¯m going out to find a man! Xu Chengfeng, didn¡¯t you want me to leave with another man quickly? I¡¯ll get lost far away now! Let go of me! Let go-¡° Chapter 1003 - Chapter 1003: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Take Me Away (88) Chapter 1003: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Take Me Away (88) ¡°Let go! I¡¯m going out to find a man! Xu Chengfeng, didn¡¯t you want me to leave with another man quickly? I¡¯ll get lost far away now! Let go of me! Let go-¡± Xu Chengfeng firmly restrained her wrist, and his eyes were suddenly filled with hostility.¡±You don¡¯t understand my language, do you?¡± ¡°I understand! I understand!¡± Zuo Yue angrily flung his hand away.¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng, let go of your hand!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly as if there was a fierce glint in his eyes.¡±I¡¯m warning you again! Don¡¯t mess around! I¡¯ve been thinking about you every step of the way. I don¡¯t want you to take a wrong step!¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything else. She just sneered and leaned against the door. He held one hand and opened the door with the other. She then threw him away.¡±There¡¯s no need to say anything. I¡¯ll go and find Yin Ruisheng now¡­¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, although her hand had yet to break free from his palm, she turned around and was shocked to see Yin Ruisheng standing not far away from the villa door. He had not left yet? Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. The words she had said out loud out of anger, he¡­He must have heard it. Her expression darkened. So what if he heard it? Since he was here, it would be even easier. ¡°Did you see that? My boyfriend is waiting for me. Uncle, please let go of my hand and pay attention to our boundaries, okay?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly turned around expressionlessly and looked at Xu Chengfeng coldly. When she saw the coldness in his eyes, Zuo Yue suddenly chuckled.¡±Pay attention to your boundaries and your identity. Isn¡¯t this what you¡¯ve been warning me about? ¡± Since you¡¯re willing to push me to someone else in order to avoid my pestering, I finally understand that it¡¯s useless no matter what I do. Since that¡¯s the case, I might as well choose a person who¡¯s sincere and good to me, who can fall in love as she pleases and won¡¯t be bound by any morals.¡± Even though Xu Chengfeng had already seen Yin Ruisheng, he had no intention of letting go of her. His expression was very cold and dark, as if a storm was about to sweep through, as if something was about to erupt. ¡°I¡¯m going on a date with Yin Ruisheng now. Uncle, let go.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was much softer, and her eyes were extremely calm. ¡°Let go!¡± Xu Chengfeng acted as if Yin Ruisheng did not exist. He only held her wrist tightly and did not let her walk out. It was as if the person who had pretended to be sanctimonious and asked her to try dating Yin Ruisheng was not him. It was as if those words that sounded calm but completely hurt Zuo Yue did not come from his mouth. Yin Ruisheng had already walked over. When he walked to the door, he glanced at Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes that were red with anger and then looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expressionless but frosty eyes. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Yin Ruisheng called out to Zuo Yue softly. Zuo Yue paused and turned to look at him. She knew that she was just speaking out of anger, but since he was really here, although it was indeed a little despicable to use him as a shield, she had no choice but to stare at him and say,¡±Brother Ruisheng, take me with you!¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, the hand holding her wrist tightened. Zuo Yue endured the pain and all kinds of discomfort in her body. She had just been shot for a month and had not fully recovered. Now, she was almost out of breath because of the anger in her heart. She only stared at Yin Ruisheng with pleading eyes.¡±¡±Take me away¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng looked at her seriously for a moment. He was sure that she was not just having a small fight with Xu Chengfeng. He was sure that she really needed him at this moment. He suddenly reached out and gently placed his hand on Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist. Xu Chengfeng looked at Yin Ruisheng with a dark expression, his eyes clearly warning him. Yin Ruisheng turned a blind eye and said softly,¡±¡±Mr. Xu, you are Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, so I should respect you. However, since Zuo Yue has already agreed to be my girlfriend, we are only going out for a date. I hope that Mr. Xu will not pester you too much.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed. She turned to look outside and no longer looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression. ¡°And as far as I know, the relationship between Mister Xu and Zuo Yue has just been established not long ago. Mister Xu should have never appeared by Zuo Yue¡¯s side as an elder before, right? It should have only been a few months since you two met. Zuo Yue is already eighteen years old. She doesn¡¯t seem to need your permission to date me and go out with me.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything for a long time, but he could clearly see that this Korean student with the surname Yin was a calm and self-contained person. If Zuo Yue really got together with him, she would not suffer any losses and would definitely be taken care of. This boy would also have a good development in the future. He was indeed a very good ideal boyfriend. Yin Ruisheng gently held Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist with one hand and firmly pushed away Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand on her wrist with the other. He did not use much force, but his actions were very firm. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was calm. He gradually let go of his hand and did not argue. When Zuo Yue finally broke free from his grip, she staggered and fell to the ground. Yin Ruisheng quickly caught her and pulled her into his arms. Xu Chengfeng turned around and nodded politely like a junior. He then took Zuo Yue out of the door without looking back. ***** After walking out of the villa, Zuo Yue did not seem to know that she was being hugged by Yin Ruisheng. She just kept walking forward until she reached an intersection. She looked up at the sky. ¡°How much did you hear just now?¡± ¡°I only heard you guys arguing inside. I was worried about you, so I didn¡¯t leave immediately. However, the soundproofing of the villa is very good, so I couldn¡¯t hear what you guys were talking about.¡±¡± After you opened the door,¡± Yin Ruisheng said softly,¡± you said you were going to find me. I heard that.¡±¡± Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. It was only then that she realized that he had been hugging her in a protective manner. She sniffed and suddenly pushed him away gently. Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t force her to let go. At the same time, he carefully gathered her coat and buttoned her collar. After walking for a while, Zuo Yue¡¯s nose was a little red from the cold. She raised her hand and rubbed her nose before saying in embarrassment,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, Brother Ruisheng. I was just arguing with him just now. Because I mentioned you, I used you as a shield and accidentally used you. I¡¯m very sorry¡­¡± ¡°What are you apologizing for?¡± Yin Ruisheng smiled. The fact that you thought of me at this time is enough to prove your trust in me. Whether you¡¯re using me or sincerely coming to find me, I¡¯m very happy.¡± Hearing him say this, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart became even more sour, and her eyes were a little ashamed.¡±¡±I still feel sorry for you.¡± Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t say anything more. He just raised his hand and gently rubbed her messy hair.¡±Wasn¡¯t he fine when we went back just now? Why did you suddenly quarrel?¡± Chapter 1004 - Chapter 1004: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-On the verge of an Explosion (89) Chapter 1004: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-On the verge of an Explosion (89) Zuo Yue did not answer. Instead, she smiled lightly, but it was a bitter smile. Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t force her when he saw that she didn¡¯t want to. ¡°Where do you want to go now? The weather outside is very cold. If it was summer, I could still accompany you for a walk. But now, I¡¯d better find a place. It¡¯s going to snow again.¡± ¡°I want to drink.¡± Zuo Yue said. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s face turned cold.¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him and turned to leave.¡±¡±It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll drink it myself. You don¡¯t have to accompany me.¡± Yin Ruisheng quickly caught up with her and grabbed her arm.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, aren¡¯t you still recuperating? How can you drink?¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not an illness. I just suffered some injuries. Didn¡¯t I say that I was injured?¡±Zuo Yue continued to walk in another direction. ¡°What kind of injury is it?¡± ¡°My heart hurts. Can¡¯t you tell? I need to drink to numb myself.¡±Zuo Yue said vaguely while snorting a laugh. ¡°If you want to drink something, I¡¯ll take you to a coffee shop, or¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng held her back forcefully. ¡°I only want to drink. If you want to accompany me, then accompany me to drink. If you don¡¯t want to accompany me, then I¡¯ll go by myself.¡± ¡°Only drinking is not allowed.¡± ¡°Although you brought me out, it seems that our relationship has not risen to the point where you need to control me. I just want to drink now.¡±Zuo Yue turned to look at him.¡± Brother Rui Sheng, I won¡¯t mention my gratitude to you today, but you don¡¯t have to worry about what happens next.¡±¡± Yin Ruisheng could tell that Zuo Yue really needed to vent her emotions, but he could also see that she was suppressing it. ¡°Where do you want to drink?¡± he asked after a moment of silence.¡± Only then did Zuo Yue smile.¡± Find a bar. Don¡¯t go near the school. It¡¯s easy to run into acquaintances. It¡¯s also easy for others to misunderstand.¡±¡± ¡°I know one. It¡¯s quite quiet. It takes about ten minutes by taxi.¡± Hearing Yin Ruisheng¡¯s words, Zuo Yue nodded.¡±¡±Go!¡± Although he didn¡¯t want her to drink, Yin Ruisheng still sighed when he saw her emotional state. He held her arm with one hand to prevent her from running around while he hailed a taxi with the other. ***** Yin Ruisheng¡¯s original intention was to let Zuo Yue find a place to sit down in the bar first, and then talk to her so that she wouldn¡¯t stand by the roadside in the cold wind. As a result, this girl entered the door and immediately called for a waiter with a bold face. She directly ordered a pile of hard liquor. Yin Ruisheng wanted to stop her, but Zuo Yue warned him with a fierce expression that he was not allowed to stop her from drinking. The last time she drank a few glasses of white wine, she was already so drunk that she couldn¡¯t even hold her liquor. In the end, she still wanted to get drunk. After several attempts to stop him, Zuo Yue was about to leave with a blank expression. Yin Ruisheng forcefully pulled him back, and Zuo Yue only asked for a drink. He really could not understand Zuo Yue¡¯s state of mind and temper. Seeing that she wanted to drink too much, he finally allowed her to drink a little less, lest she hurt her body. As the two of them chatted, they raised their glasses and talked about their own matters. He talked about his life in Korea, about the distance between him and his parents when he grew up, about how he ran away from home to register as a trainee and wanted to embark on the road of acting, about her life in the Zuo family, and about Xu Chengfeng. As they drank, waiters kept coming in to serve them wine. In the end, Zuo Yue leaned on Yin Ruisheng¡¯s shoulder with a smile and burped.¡±Big Brother Ruisheng, why don¡¯t I have your boldness¡­You don¡¯t want to inherit your family¡¯s business, you can go if you say so, my brother is also good, he also has his courage, you can go if you say so¡­ ¡°However, I¡¯ve never had any opinions since I was young. Now that I finally have my own opinions, I¡¯ve embarked on a path that is equivalent to no return for myself¡­¡± ¡°But what should we do¡­I really, really like him¡­¡± ¡°My heart hurts when I like you¡­¡± ¡°I can¡¯t stop liking you¡­¡± Zuo Yue cried as she spoke. She laughed as she cried,¡±¡±What if I can¡¯t control myself!¡± After Yin Ruisheng took a sip of wine, he smiled and raised his arms to hug her like an older brother protecting his younger sister. He lowered his head and leaned into her ear as he asked with a smile,¡±¡±What about him? Does he like you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s head could not hold on any longer. Her head kept nodding down, and in the end, she leaned weakly on his shoulder. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly smiled.¡±I think I like him¡­It also seemed like he didn¡¯t like it¡­I don¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t women claim to be the most sensitive animals in the world? You can¡¯t even feel this?¡± Zuo Yue shook her head.¡± I really don¡¯t know. Sometimes, I feel that he likes me. It¡¯s just that there are too many restrictions that he can¡¯t overcome. He¡¯s too rational, so I thought that I would overcome his rationality sooner or later. But today, I realized that I had failed. I didn¡¯t expect that he would actually say such words just to stop me from pestering him¡­¡± ¡°What words?¡± Zuo Yue continued to shake her head, but she did not say anything else. She only smiled bitterly and buried her face in his shoulder.¡±Brother Ruisheng, I¡¯m so sad¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng sighed as he held her in his arms and patted her back gently.¡±¡±Be good, don¡¯t be sad anymore. If you really can¡¯t do it, then don¡¯t want him. Follow me in the future. I¡¯ll protect you.¡± Zuo Yue did not answer. She cried in his arms for a while and stopped moving. Yin Ruisheng frowned. Although he had drunk quite a bit and was a little tipsy, he was not as drunk as her. He lowered his head and looked at Zuo Yue, who had fallen asleep in his arms. Yin Ruisheng sighed. Then, he smiled and called the waiter to pay the bill. Ten minutes later, Zuo Yue was helped out of the bar by Yin Ruisheng. The two of them reeked of alcohol. When they walked to the roadside, Yin Ruisheng looked at the passing cars and asked softly,¡±Are you going back to the villa or somewhere else?¡± Zuo Yue leaned on his shoulder and shook her head.¡±¡±I¡¯m not going back¡­ Not going back to the villa¡­I don¡¯t want to see him again¡­ I don¡¯t want to see him¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng sighed softly and supported her, who could not stand steadily at all. Now that the cold wind blew, he was much more awake. He saw a seven-star hotel across the road, so he simply supported Zuo Yue and walked over. When she walked into the hotel, Zuo Yue looked around in a daze.¡±¡±Where is this place?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go home, I can¡¯t just leave you on the road.¡±Yin Ruisheng helped her into the room and held her waist tightly to prevent her from falling. Zuo Yue was stunned. She leaned her head on his shoulder again, closed her eyes, and allowed him to bring her in. ¡°Brother Ruisheng, are you taking me to get a room?¡±Zuo Yue closed her eyes and said with a smile. Yin Ruisheng looked down at her and smiled helplessly. Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently, but did not answer. The sky was already dark. On the snowy night, a dark gray Porsche was parked by the roadside. Chapter 1005 - Chapter 1005: Riding the Wind Asks the Moon-He Enters the Room (Part 90) Chapter 1005: Riding the Wind Asks the Moon-He Enters the Room (Part 90) The door of the hotel suite opened, and a young man and woman walked in while embracing each other. As soon as she entered the door, Zuo Yue was helped into the bathroom because of her nausea. She leaned over the toilet bowl and wanted to vomit, but after retching for a long time, she did not vomit anything. In the end, she simply sat on the floor beside the toilet bowl weakly and stared blankly at the light in the bathroom. Her eyes seemed to be unfocused. Yin Ruisheng turned around and wet the towel before coming over to help her. After helping her out of the bathroom, he let her sit by the bed and used the towel to wipe her face. After all, when she drank just now, a lot of alcohol spilled at the corner of her mouth, and her body reeked of alcohol. ¡°How is it? Is your stomach still uncomfortable? I¡¯ll go down and buy medicine for you?¡± Yin Ruisheng asked her with concern. After Zuo Yue burped, she suddenly laughed and shook her head. At the same time, she raised her arms and wrapped them around Yin Ruisheng¡¯s neck. She looked at him with an intoxicated expression. When Yin Ruisheng saw Yue¡¯s red face and the deep love in her eyes, he immediately froze, but he didn¡¯t push her away. Instead, he looked at her white porcelain skin, the blush on her face, and his own reflection in her moon-like eyes. ¡°Zuo Yue¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, I¡­¡± His voice was a little hoarse. ¡°Is there really no such thing as inbreeding in this world¡­¡± Zuo Yue stared at him and suddenly asked with a silly smile. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s eyes froze for a moment as he stared at her, but he finally understood who she was looking at through him. The darkness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a helpless smile. He raised his hand and gently pulled her hand off his neck.¡±What a silly girl. Although true love has no boundaries, blood is indeed the biggest obstacle in this world. Morally, close relatives can¡¯t be together, and biologically, they can¡¯t have children together. This is absolutely impossible.¡± ¡°Why do you all say that?¡± Zuo Yue tilted her head and looked at him, but she was still smiling foolishly.¡±¡±So I¡¯m suffering from Qi deviation?¡± Yin Ruisheng raised his hand and gently stroked her hair.¡±¡±Be good, don¡¯t think about these things anymore. Take a nap. If you want to move out in the future, move out. I¡¯ll spend more time with you. Don¡¯t think about what you shouldn¡¯t have. Your uncle is indeed very rational. At least his rejection proves that he¡¯s rational. He¡¯s protecting you.¡± Zuo Yue closed her eyes and stopped talking. However, her stomach was in pain. She frowned and allowed herself to fall back on the bed. ¡°Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?¡± Seeing her frown and bitter face, Yin Ruisheng sat by the bed and helped her wipe the wine stains on her hands as he asked softly. Zuo Yue lay on the bed with her eyes closed and shook her head. After a while, she nodded again. Yin Ruisheng put down the towel. Seeing that she was unconscious, he pulled the blanket over her and said,¡±Then you sleep first. I¡¯ll go to the pharmacy outside the hotel to buy some hangover medicine. Otherwise, you¡¯ll probably have a headache and stomach ache tomorrow morning.¡± Zuo Yue quietly closed her eyes and did not move. She looked like she was asleep, but she also looked like she did not want to talk. The smell of alcohol on her was too strong. Although Yin Ruisheng was worried about leaving her alone in the room, he knew that she did not have the strength to run out and mess around anymore. After confirming that she really wanted to sleep, he reached out and took off the hair band on her head so that she would feel more comfortable without any obstructions under her head when she lay down. Her long hair was messy and scattered on the bed, looking particularly enchanting. Yin Ruisheng felt that he might not be able to control himself if he continued to look at it, so he simply got up and walked out. The door was opened and closed, and the sound of the door closing was very soft. But even though Yin Ruisheng hoped that Zuo Yue could sleep, Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were closed and she was still frowning. In the hotel corridor, Yin Ruisheng was waiting in front of the elevator. When the elevator stopped and Yin Ruisheng walked in, the VIP elevator next door opened at the same time. ***** A loud ringtone made Zuo Yue, who was half-asleep on the bed, turn over in discomfort. She casually took out her phone from the pocket of her coat that she had not taken off yet. She hung up without even looking at it and threw it aside. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on her stomach. Not long after she was hung up, her phone rang again, but she pretended not to hear it and lay on the bed with her eyes closed. It was unknown how long it lasted, but there was suddenly a knock on the door. Only then did Zuo Yue open her eyes. She had an annoyed expression of wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep well. She struggled to get up in a daze and turned to look in the direction of the door. ¡°Did you not even bring your room card out when you ran out to buy medicine¡­¡± She mumbled as she got off the bed with a headache and a stomachache. However, she swayed and almost fell. She staggered to the wall and raised her hand to support herself on the wall to stabilize herself. She slowly walked to the door with some difficulty. The knocking sound was not urgent, but it was not slow either. Zuo Yue raised her hand and touched her forehead. Her vision was blurry. She reached out for a long time before she finally grabbed the door handle. With a slight turn, the door in front of her suddenly opened. The moment she opened the door, before she could see the person in front of her clearly, she suddenly felt a chill sweep over her. Zuo Yue slowly raised her head, and when her gaze met Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold black eyes, she was stunned for a moment. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. The moment the door opened, he was about to walk in. Zuo Yue was about to slam the door shut, but Xu Chengfeng had already raised his hand to support himself on the door. He opened the door without giving her any chance to resist and quickly walked in. Zuo Yue did not have the strength. She was pushed by the force from outside the door and staggered to lean against the wall behind her. When she regained her senses and wanted to chase him out, Xu Chengfeng was already standing in front of her. He looked down at her from above, his eyes dark and cold. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Xu Chengfeng closed the door and turned around to look at her expressionlessly. Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment before she suddenly smiled foolishly.¡±¡±What am I doing? Can¡¯t you tell? I¡¯m having a boyfriend.¡± Xu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes coldly.¡± Zuo Yue, I¡¯m just trying to persuade you nicely. Don¡¯t be so unreasonable as to try to provoke me in this way.¡±¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Zuo Yue smiled and looked up at him.¡±¡±Am I unreasonable? I want to love you. I want you to push me away when I¡¯m by your side. You even want to push me to someone else. Now, I¡¯m finally listening to you. I¡¯m out to get a boyfriend. Why am I being unreasonable again? You¡¯re the one who doesn¡¯t want me, and now you¡¯re the one who¡¯s scolding me. Xu Chengfeng, do you think you¡¯re the king of heaven? Who do you think you are? Do I have to listen to you everywhere? Does everything revolve around you?¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue snorted and turned to open the door.¡±¡±You¡¯re not welcome here. You can leave. I¡¯m not going back today.¡± Chapter 1006 - Chapter 1006: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Rage and Forced Kiss (91) Chapter 1006: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Rage and Forced Kiss (91) After saying that, Zuo Yue snorted and turned to open the door.¡±¡±You¡¯re not welcome here. You can leave. I¡¯m not going back today.¡± However, before Zuo Yue¡¯s hand could reach the door handle, Xu Chengfeng grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to the wall. Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder hit the wall hard. Although it hurt, she endured the pain. She glanced at her wrist that was held by him, but she did not look at him. She only stared at her wrist and said in a low voice,¡±¡±My boyfriend will be back in a while. I mean what I say. Since I plan to be with Brother Ruisheng and listen to your advice to date someone else, I will do my best. So please leave, okay? I don¡¯t want my boyfriend to misunderstand.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s veins bulged on his forehead as he kept calling her boyfriend.¡±You got into character very quickly!¡± Zuo Yue laughed and tried to break free from his hands, but she couldn¡¯t break free after struggling twice. In the end, she could only say with a pale face because of the pain,¡±¡±Isn¡¯t this what you wanted, Uncle? Not only did I get into character quickly, but I can also sleep with him tonight!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist was about to be crushed. Her face was pale, but she leaned against the wall weakly. Her gaze fell on his chin, not looking into his eyes.¡±In the past, you always told me to listen to you, to be rational, and to let go. I¡¯ll take advantage of today to sort out my life. I won¡¯t follow you anymore, and I won¡¯t look at you anymore. Are you satisfied? Uncle?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was cold, but he did not say a word. Seeing that her face was pale from the pain, he gradually released his grip on her hand. Zuo Yue took the opportunity to pull her hand out, but he suddenly stretched out his long arm to hold her waist and forcefully restrained her in his arms. At the same time, he turned around and brought her to the door.¡±Stop fooling around. I¡¯ll take you home.¡± Zuo Yue frowned again. When she heard the word ¡®home¡¯, she started to struggle.¡±I¡¯m not going back!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng glared at the struggling woman in his arms.¡±¡±Don¡¯t provoke me! Come back with me! You¡¯re drunk now, you can¡¯t mess around here!¡± ¡°Let go of me! I don¡¯t want to go back! I¡¯m not going back with you! I¡¯m never going back! Let go!¡± Zuo Yue struggled hard in his arms. She raised her hand and hammered hard on his chest, but she could not push him away. Xu Chengfeng hugged her with one hand and easily caught her little hands that were hitting his body. He was about to open the door when Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and bit his shoulder. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s movements froze. He suppressed the anger that was about to explode in his chest and looked down at the little girl who was struggling desperately in his arms.¡±Zuo Yue, this is my last warning to you!¡± Zuo Yue bit his shoulder with all her might until she tasted blood in her mouth. She instantly remembered the day she was shot and the blood that spread out from her mouth. She remembered the scene of her waiting in front of the cinema like a fool for a few hours. Tears instantly burst out of her eyes. She continued to bite him as she cried crazily until Xu Chengfeng grabbed her chin and forcefully turned her face away. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.¡±Xu Chengfeng! Let go of me!¡± Xu Chengfeng stared at the strong resistance in her eyes and warned her,¡±¡±Don¡¯t! Again! Force! Me!¡± Zuo Yue laughed coldly as she cried. She tried hard to shake off his hand and push away his arm around her waist.¡±I won¡¯t force you! I will never get close to you again! Don¡¯t you hate me? Didn¡¯t you say you didn¡¯t want me? I¡¯m not ugly, and my family background is not bad. There are many men in this world who want me! Even if I hand it over tonight! Even if my private life is messy in the future, there will still be men willing to want me! Who are you, Xu Chengfeng? Let go of me!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was unusually cold, and the warning was obvious. ¡°Let go! Zuo Yue felt as if her entire body was filled with thorns, and she was resisting him. She focused on trying to break free from his side, and her hand pushed his hand even harder.¡±Xu Chengfeng! Let go of me!¡± The man¡¯s arm was like an iron clamp, unable to be moved. Zuo Yue raised her eyes and glared at him.¡±Let me go! From today onwards, I won¡¯t-uh-¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, Xu Chengfeng could no longer bear it and pushed her to the wall that was only a step away. He held her chin firmly and bent down to kiss her fiercely. Zuo Yue was instantly petrified and forgot to struggle. She only felt her defenseless lips being quickly invaded. Her teeth were also instantly pushed open. The man¡¯s fiery lips and tongue smoothly invaded her, engulfing all of her rationality and nerves. He kissed her too fiercely, like he was angry, fanatical, and also like he was venting some unknown emotion. There was a numbing pain from being bitten on her lips. Zuo Yue moved her eyebrows in pain and barely regained her senses. When she realized that he was actually kissing her, His words kept ringing in her head. He said that Yin Ruisheng was not bad and asked her to go with him. He wanted her to get a boyfriend. He had driven her into a corner, to the point where she had nothing to live for. He had made her cry and hurt her, but he had never moved her. But what was he doing now? Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red. She suddenly raised her hand and was about to push him away. However, Xu Chengfeng once again restrained her hands before she could resist. He firmly restrained her body between his chest and the wall, leaving no room for her lips to ravage. Zuo Yue tried to turn her head away from his kiss. Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and held the back of her head to prevent her from moving. His hot tongue was like a magical fire that instantly ignited a prairie fire on both of them. Zuo Yue¡¯s mind was not clear because of the alcohol, but she instinctively wanted to resist. Since he didn¡¯t love her, why did he kiss her? Since it was already decided that he couldn¡¯t have her, he couldn¡¯t be with her, so why did he care who she stayed in the hotel with? However, the more she struggled, the more fiercely he kissed her. There were faint footsteps approaching from outside the door. Sensing that Yin Ruisheng might have returned, Zuo Yue hurriedly made a sound of ¡± Wu Wu ¡°. While she struggled desperately, she used her eyes to remind him to let go of her. Not only did Xu Chengfeng not let go, but he also pushed her against the door and continued to kiss her fiercely and fiercely. When he heard footsteps approaching from outside the door, he held her waist with one hand and did not allow her to break free. He locked the door with the other hand. Hearing the sound of the door being locked behind her, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart thumped hard. She looked at the man¡¯s furious eyes with a sluggish expression. She no longer had the strength to struggle and even felt dizzy. However, the pain and numbness on her lips almost made her faint. Chapter 1007 - Chapter 1007: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-She Is His Abyss (92) Chapter 1007: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-She Is His Abyss (92) ¡°Mmm¡­ No¡­¡± Zuo Yue regained her senses from the blankness in her mind. She tried to raise her hand to push the fierce man in front of her away, but her lips were baptized by his ravaging, and her entire body was firmly bound to the door. She could not move at all. Yin Ruisheng had already walked out of the door and was about to swipe the room card to open the door. However, when he placed the card near the sensor lock in front of the door, he seemed to hear a strange movement in the door. His hand paused slightly and looked up at the door in front of him. ¡°Zuo Yue?¡± Thinking of Zuo Yue¡¯s reek of alcohol and the little girl¡¯s usually clean hair that seemed to have been washed a thousand times, Yin Ruisheng was not sure if she was changing and bathing inside, so he stood outside the door and asked softly,¡±¡±Are you still wearing clothes? You didn¡¯t take a shower, did you? I¡¯m going in?¡± There was no response from inside, but there was a faint movement on the door. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s gaze paused on the door for a moment, then he swiped his card and was about to enter. However, the door was locked from the inside. After swiping the room card, he heard the beeping sound and immediately frowned. He raised his hand and gently patted the door.¡±Zuo Yue? What are you doing? Did you lock the door yourself?¡± Zuo Yue could clearly hear the voices outside the door behind her, but at this moment, she was surrounded and confined to the door. She could not move freely, and her lips were numb with pain. She could not even breathe because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s increasingly hot and entangled kisses. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were wide open in anger. Her hands could not resist his strength, but she did not want Yin Ruisheng to hear her movements. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and let him kiss her without saying a word. However, Xu Chengfeng obviously did not intend to let her have her way. As he captured her lips and tongue, his hot palm had already reached into the coat that she had not taken off. It followed the edge of the sweater and entered. His palm caused a prairie fire on her fair and smooth back. Zuo Yue could not help but tremble. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. Was he still his uncle? Was he still the same Xu Chengfeng who would push her away no matter what and was so cruel that he turned a blind eye to all her feelings? ¡°Zuo Yue?¡± Seeing that there was no movement inside, Yin Ruisheng was already a little anxious outside the door. After knocking on the door twice, he was not sure what she was doing in the room. He was more worried that she would take things too hard because she was sad and drunk. After pausing for a few minutes, he directly knocked on the door again.¡±Zuo Yue! Open the door!¡± If it were any other time, according to the situation before her, no matter how angry or hateful she was, Zuo Yue would definitely be intoxicated by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hot and entangled kisses. However, Yin Ruisheng¡¯s worried voice kept coming from outside the door behind her. She was tense and did not dare to make a sound. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand was like a branding iron on her back, burning her whole body stiff and numb, and the person outside the door was worrying about her heart. Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t tell if it was guilt or if everything in front of her was too exciting, but she felt goosebumps all over her body. However, Xu Chengfeng seemed to know how uncomfortable she was being caught in this situation. It was as if he was deliberately making her feel uncomfortable. When she was thinking about Yin Ruisheng outside the door, he bit her lips as if he was punishing her. Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned pale from the pain. The moment her teeth loosened slightly, his fiery tongue took advantage of the opportunity to enter again. The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away. She did not know where Yin Ruisheng had suddenly gone without a word. Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body was still not relaxed at all, and her mind was in a mess. Until Xu Chengfeng let go of her lips, he still pressed her tightly against the door. He lowered his head and kissed her lips ambiguously as he whispered,¡±¡±Do you want him to see it?¡± Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at him in a daze. She met his deep and dark eyes and saw a strong desire in his eyes, but at the same time, she saw a trace of slight mockery. ¡°Let him see our uncle and nephew?¡±Xu Chengfeng mocked her again, but at the same time, he planted a gentle kiss on her lips. Zuo Yue did not know what he wanted to do, nor did she know what he was thinking. She could not understand his eyes, could not see the desire in his eyes, and could not understand the sarcasm and threat hidden in them. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one outside the door, Zuo Yue¡¯s lips trembled before she said softly,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re so against this and hate this outcome so much¡­Why are you still treating me¡­¡± ¡°How is he treating you?¡± Xu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at her previously drunk but now stiff and pale face. He laughed and suddenly kissed her on the lips. At the same time, he flirtatiously hooked the edge of her pearly white teeth, causing her to tremble.¡±Like this?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly turned red. She wanted to resist but could not push him away. Her heart was in a mess. Her head still hurt and her stomach was not feeling well. She only looked at the man who was acting like a hooligan and looking at her mockingly with some sadness and innocence.¡±Are you humiliating me? Using such a method to force me to retreat? You want to make me feel ashamed? I¡¯ve already said that I won¡¯t pester you anymore from today onwards. Yin and I¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss had already landed again. This time, it was much gentler than before, but he still firmly sealed her lips and did not allow her to say another word about Yin Ruisheng. Just as Zuo Yue was about to sink into it and completely give up resisting, footsteps came from outside the door again. It was as if the room service staff was talking to Yin Ruisheng. The two of them spoke in fluent English. Yin Ruisheng mentioned that the door was locked from the inside. It seemed like he was going to call the room service staff to come and find a way to open the door. When she heard the sound, her entire body stiffened once again. When she regained her senses, she hurriedly tried to push Xu Chengfeng away. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened. The hand that was holding her waist tightened as if he was punishing her. At the same time, he bit her lips fiercely. Zuo Yue shrank her neck in pain. She could hear the room service using something to open the door. Zuo Yue pushed the man who was unmoved in front of her and looked at him pleadingly. However, Xu Chengfeng sneered at the little girl, whose eyes were filled with fear. It was hard to tell whether there was hatred or entanglement in his eyes. His low and flirtatious tone slowly sounded by her lips.¡±Even you are afraid that others will find out about our relationship. Since you clearly know shame and know that you shouldn¡¯t, why do you desperately drag me into this abyss?¡± Zuo Yue listened to the commotion outside the door and did not notice the meaning behind Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words. She only instinctively looked at him in a panic, her eyes pleading. ¡°How is it? Can you open it?¡± Yin Ruisheng was talking to the room service outside. ¡°Sure, please wait a moment.¡± The room service seemed to have brought some kind of password lock and other room cards over. A series of beeping sounds came from the door behind Zuo Yue. The sound was right beside her ear, and her heart was about to jump to her throat. Chapter 1008 - Chapter 1008: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Provoking (93) Chapter 1008: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Provoking (93) Zuo Yue¡¯s hair stood on end when the door opened with a click. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips were still on her lips, and she was so nervous that she grabbed his arm tightly. However, at that moment, Xu Chengfeng stepped back in front of her. At the same time, his shirt and suit were still very clean. It was impossible to tell what had happened just now, and there were no wrinkles on her coat. Other than Zuo Yue¡¯s stiff white face and red lips, there seemed to be nothing unusual. Because of his retreat, Zuo Yue was forced to take two steps forward when the door was opened. Yin Ruisheng hurriedly walked through the door. His anxious gaze, which was worried about what had happened to Zuo Yue, paused when he saw Zuo Yue standing in front of the door. At the same time, his attention was attracted by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s existence. He looked at Xu Chengfeng with a somewhat stunned gaze. ¡°Mr. Yin, is there anything else I can help you with?¡±The room service staff outside the door asked softly. Yin Ruisheng first looked at Zuo Yue, then looked at Xu Chengfeng, but did not answer. After a moment, he turned around and nodded at the room service staff to express his gratitude. Then, he indicated that the other party could leave. Then he walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s side and noticed the paleness on her face and the color of her lips that seemed to be bloodshot. Although he did not dare to imagine it, he could roughly guess what was going on. He frowned, and his gaze gradually fell on the man who had been expressionless all this while. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Yin Ruisheng looked at Xu Chengfeng and asked Zuo Yue beside him. Zuo Yue did not utter a word and only shook her head lightly.¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry for making you worry.¡± Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t say anything. He reached out and grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand, pulling her to his side and protecting her behind him. At the same time, he looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was expressionless and even had a mocking look in his eyes.¡±Mr. Xu, I respect you as an elder, but Zuo Yue has already agreed to be my girlfriend. I have the absolute right and position to protect her and restrict her from being too intimate with other men.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes did not change, but there was already a hint of coldness in his eyes. He looked at the young man who was only 20 years old and had no fear. ¡°Even if you¡¯re Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, you¡¯re still a man after all. Zuo Yue isn¡¯t a child anymore. I hope that when you¡¯re with her in the future, you can try to avoid being alone in a room like this. Although this is America and doesn¡¯t have the feudal thoughts of Korea and China, there are still many foreign students from there around Zuo Yue. She needs her face and can¡¯t be pointed at by others, so I hope that Mr. Xu can pay attention to propriety.¡± ¡°Limits?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly, and the smile in his eyes carried a hint of unexplainable discussion. He looked at Zuo Yue, who had been standing behind Yin Ruisheng in a daze and did not speak, as if she had not recovered from her daze.¡±Of course I value propriety more.¡± Zuo Yue came back to her senses. She was stunned by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s indistinct words. She was the one who had been provoking him all along. No matter how angry she was today, it seemed that she was at fault for causing her uncle and Yin Ruisheng to be on opposing sides. She even caused Xu Chengfeng to be ridiculed for not being careful because of her. Pay attention to propriety¡­ He had been reminding her of this all along. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand was held by Yin Ruisheng. She looked at Yin Ruisheng¡¯s figure in front of her and said softly,¡±¡±Brother Ruisheng, I¡¯m sorry for causing you trouble.¡± Hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s words, Yin Ruisheng turned to look at her. He looked into her eyes and wanted to know what she was thinking and her decision through her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for dragging you in today.¡±Zuo Yue had mostly sobered up, but her eyes were still intoxicated and her head hurt. She looked at him apologetically,¡±¡±I know it¡¯s useless to say anything now, but I don¡¯t want you and my uncle to stand on the opposite side. Even if I don¡¯t want to go back with him now, I don¡¯t want you to have a grudge with him.¡± ¡°So do you want to go back with him now, or stay here for the night and wait for me to arrange another place for you tomorrow?¡±Yin Ruisheng asked directly. Zuo Yue did not answer. She stood behind him, but her eyes suddenly turned to Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng looked back at her indifferently. His eyes were clearly dissatisfied with Yin Ruisheng¡¯s interference. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Zuo Yue took a deep breath and said,¡±¡±I want to be quiet¡­¡± ¡°Since your mother left you in my care, I have no reason to let you move out.¡±Hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s answer, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression darkened.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, come back with me.¡± Zuo Yue did not utter a word. She withdrew her hand from Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand, but she did not walk in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction. She had been angry all day, and the kiss just now had made her head spin. She was still drunk, so she could only take a step back in a daze. Suddenly, she did not want to face her uncle or Yin Ruisheng anymore. She just wanted to find a quiet corner to sort out her emotions. Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and was about to leave. Yin Ruisheng saw this and quickly turned around.¡±Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng had already strode over and grabbed her arm to pull her back. Zuo Yue staggered and fell into his arms. She struggled and looked up at him.¡±Let go!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go back and talk!¡± Xu Chengfeng had obviously lost his patience. He didn¡¯t even plan to say a word to Yin Ruisheng and was about to take her away by force. ¡°Mr. Xu! Please be more polite to Zuo Yue. Even if you¡¯re her uncle, I¡¯m still her boyfriend. I have the right to stop her from¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng walked over and stood directly in front of them, blocking their way. His eyes were neither servile nor overbearing. It was obvious that he did not intend to let Zuo Yue be taken away alone. Xu Chengfeng glanced at him, then suddenly snorted and looked down at Zuo Yue, who was locked in his arms with a pale face.¡±¡±Are you sure you want him to provoke me because of you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused. She suddenly remembered her uncle¡¯s identity and background. In front of her, he was like an uncle who was like the wind and the moon, but behind him was the leader of the underworld. Human lives might not mean anything to him at all. If Yin Ruisheng offended him because of her¡­ ¡°Brother Ruisheng, I¡­¡± Zuo Yue immediately looked at Yin Ruisheng. Seeing the emotions in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes, Yin Ruisheng¡¯s gaze remained unchanged as he said,¡±¡±As long as you say the word, I will accompany you no matter what, even if it means offending your uncle. Don¡¯t forget that you said that you would marry me when you grew up. You will never know how long I have waited and searched for you because of your words. So, Zuo Yue, no matter what decision you make, I will respect it.¡± Chapter 1009 - Chapter 1009: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Forcibly Brought Home (94) Chapter 1009: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Forcibly Brought Home (94) What an emotional dialogue! Xu Chengfeng smiled coldly and glanced at Zuo Yue in his arms. He said in a voice that only she could hear,¡±¡±You don¡¯t want such a good man, but you have to provoke me?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned even paler. She suddenly looked up at him. At the same time, Xu Chengfeng tightened his grip on her waist and lowered his head to kiss and bite her ear, causing her to tremble. He tightened his grip on her waist and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±It¡¯s too late for you to go back on your word now.¡± Even if she drank too much, Zuo Yue was not so muddle-headed that she could not understand such simple words. She was stunned for a moment¡­ By the time she came back to her senses, Xu Chengfeng had already brought her out of the door. Yin Ruisheng did not come forward to stop her because she had been quiet and did not resist in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. However, he had been following her from behind, as if he was worried and unwilling to give up. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue did not know if everything in front of her was just an illusion. She actually felt that her uncle seemed to be jealous. She actually felt that he was jealous because of Yin Ruisheng. She actually realized that the kiss just now was not a dream. She actually realized that Xu Chengfeng was hugging her very tightly, so tightly that she could not break free. Her voice was low with a hint of confusion. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze softened a little because of her soft voice. He glanced at her and led her into the elevator. When they left the hotel, Zuo Yue was blown by the cold wind outside and immediately shivered. However, she did not feel too cold. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s large windbreaker was already lifted up and half of it was wrapped around her. He took advantage of the situation and hugged her in his arms, sharing the same windbreaker with her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and walked to the side of the dark gray Porsche parked by the roadside. Zuo Yue stared at the car in a daze. She wanted to ask him when he came over and how he knew she was here. However, before she could ask, Xu Chengfeng had already opened the car door and pushed her out. Zuo Yue staggered into the car and turned to look at him. Xu Chengfeng looked at her slightly drunk and confused expression and patiently leaned over to help her fasten her seatbelt. Zuo Yue did not struggle, but hesitated for a moment and turned to look in the direction of the hotel. ¡°There¡¯s no need to feel guilty about him. There¡¯s nothing worth missing about a man who takes advantage of the situation.¡±Xu Chengfeng said coldly and closed the car door with a bang. Zuo Yue¡¯s head hurt, but she did not quite understand what her uncle had just said. How could Yin Ruisheng be considered to have taken advantage of the situation? He was clearly so innocent that he was implicated by her¡­ If it weren¡¯t for him, she wouldn¡¯t even know where she was now. Perhaps she would have drunk too much and wouldn¡¯t know anything. Perhaps something dangerous would have happened. Xu Chengfeng had always been a clear-headed and rational person, but now he could say such a tit-for-tat thing, which made Zuo Yue very surprised. However, she still looked in the direction of the hotel with lingering fear. She felt that she needed to find time to have a good talk with Yin Ruisheng in the future, but tonight might not be suitable. The door of the driver¡¯s seat was opened, and a cold wind swept in. Xu Chengfeng brought the cold wind in and sat beside her. Zuo Yue moved closer to the door, feeling that Xu Chengfeng was very scary tonight. Sensing Zuo Yue¡¯s actions, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand that was holding the steering wheel paused slightly. He turned to look at her. Zuo Yue shrunk her neck and leaned against the car window without saying a word. She did not dare to look at him. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment and drove away without saying anything else. Zuo Yue did not dare to speak. She could not tell whether she was angry or confused. Xu Chengfeng did not break the silence. The two of them did not speak along the way. When they returned to the villa, Zuo Yue got out of the car. However, she suddenly swayed on the spot because of the aftertaste of alcohol. Xu Chengfeng quickly took two steps forward and reached out to support her. Then, he pulled her into the door. The lights in the villa were bright. Zuo Yue walked in and stood still in front of the door. Xu Chengfeng took off his coat and pulled off his tie expressionlessly. He glanced sideways at her.¡±What are you still standing there for? The room was so hot, why didn¡¯t he take off his coat? Or are you waiting for me to help you take it off?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him. When she saw Xu Chengfeng was about to walk over, she was so frightened that she took two steps back. She raised her hand to untie her coat and took it off before hanging it at the side. ¡°Go take a shower.¡± Smelling the alcohol on her, Xu Chengfeng frowned. Zuo Yue lowered her head and did not move. ¡°You smell of alcohol. Go and wash up.¡±Xu Chengfeng ordered coldly, his words containing a warning. Zuo Yue felt a little wronged. She did not know what he meant. He could push her away and kiss her, but now he was giving her such a cold face. What did he mean? She raised her hand to rub her nose, but she couldn¡¯t complain. In the end, she could only turn around and walk slowly to the stairs. She thought about it for a long time, but in the end, she didn¡¯t ask. She raised her hand and placed it on the handrail of the stairs, walking up step by step. However, her steps were unstable. She had to catch her breath with every step she took. She barely steadied her body and continued walking. Seeing that Zuo Yue¡¯s movements were dangerous when she walked up, as if she would lose her strength and roll down the stairs in the next moment, Xu Chengfeng tried his best to suppress the thought of carrying her up. A few minutes later, after confirming that Zuo Yue had already gone upstairs, he unbuttoned his shirt, turned around, and quickly went into the bedroom, rushing into the bathroom to take a cold shower. Xu Chengfeng could not calm himself down even though he was standing under the cold water. He raised his hand to stroke his wet short hair, and his eyes became even darker. After forcing himself to calm down, Xu Chengfeng looked at the time and sat downstairs to wait for her to come down. After what happened today, even if Zuo Yue drank a lot of wine, she would not be able to sleep. With her personality, she would obediently come down after taking a shower without him calling her. However, as time passed, Zuo Yue had been upstairs for more than 40 minutes. There was no movement from upstairs. Xu Chengfeng looked at the time again and hesitantly got up and walked up the stairs to Zuo Yue¡¯s bedroom. Just as he was about to open the door, his hand paused on the door. He stood outside the door for a moment and listened to the strange silence inside. Then he pushed the door open and walked in. Zuo Yue seemed to be venting her anger. Before she took a shower, she threw her clothes all over the floor until she reached the bathroom door. The light in the bathroom was on. It was foggy inside, but it was abnormally quiet. A normal person would faint after soaking in a hot bath for more than half an hour, not to mention her current physical condition¡­ Thinking of this, Xu Chengfeng walked straight to the bathroom and raised his hand to open the bathroom door. Chapter 1010 - Chapter 1010: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Invasion (95) Chapter 1010: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Invasion (95) Thinking of this, Xu Chengfeng walked straight to the bathroom and raised his hand to open the bathroom door. At the same time, the door in front of them was suddenly pulled open from the inside. Zuo Yue had already taken a shower and changed into a light pink nightgown. Her long hair was wet and scattered behind her body. Because she had been in the hot bath for too long, her face was abnormally red. The moment she opened the door and saw Xu Chengfeng, she seemed to be stunned for a moment. However, she did not say a word. She turned her eyes away and wanted to walk around him. Xu Chengfeng was relieved to see that something had happened to her in the bathroom. However, this girl¡¯s attitude made him frown. Just as she was about to walk past him, he grabbed her wrist. Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She did not struggle but stood still. ¡°Today¡¯s matter¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng paused for a moment and turned to look at the person beside him. Zuo Yue lowered her face slightly, and the side of her face was fair and flushed from the shower. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry.¡± ¡± Zuo Yue,¡± Xu Chengfeng said as he looked at her.¡± Whether it was during the day when I suggested that you get closer to Yin Ruisheng or what happened in the hotel just now, I can give you a reasonable explanation.¡±¡± ¡°No need to explain.¡± Zuo Yue tried to pull her hand away from his.¡±¡±Uncle, I know that you don¡¯t want me to be with someone I don¡¯t like. I know that you¡¯re thinking about me time and time again. I know everything. You don¡¯t have to say anything¡­¡± Realizing that this girl was no longer willing to listen to him because of his past rejections, Xu Chengfeng frowned and suddenly grabbed her arm, wanting to pull her over and make her turn around. However, Zuo Yue was already on the verge of losing her balance. She had almost fainted in the bathtub just now. It was not easy for her to hold on to some consciousness and wipe her body clean before she changed her clothes and walked out. Her mind was blank now. The moment she was pulled over, the blankness in front of her eyes suddenly turned dark. She looked at him with lifeless eyes and fell headfirst. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened. He nimbly hugged Zuo Yue, who had almost fallen down. He lowered his head and saw the redness on her face gradually recede. When he saw her face gradually turn pale, he immediately picked her up by the waist.¡±You haven¡¯t recovered yet. I¡¯ll call the doctor over.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were closed and her head leaned weakly on his shoulder. She had already fainted without a sound. He placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Looking at the weak Zuo Yue, Xu Chengfeng focused his gaze and did not say anything. He turned around and picked up her phone to call the family doctor who had taken care of her. ***** The night passed. When Zuo Yue opened her eyes, it was already past nine o¡¯clock in the morning the next day. She opened her eyes and felt her head ache and swell. For a moment, she could not remember what had happened. She even thought that she was still lying in the hospital because of a gunshot wound. She turned her head and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting by the bed with one hand on his forehead and his eyes closed. Her gaze swept across his slightly tired face and then looked around the room. The scenes from last night gradually appeared in her mind. It was only when she recalled the kiss Xu Chengfeng gave her in the hotel room last night that Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze returned to his face. Zuo Yue did not dare to move when she saw that he seemed to have taken care of her the entire night without resting. He was only sitting by the bed with his eyes barely closed. However, after looking at him for a long time, she could not help but raise her hand to touch him. She wanted to confirm if the person in front of her was the real Xu Chengfeng, and she wanted to confirm if last night was a dream or if it really happened¡­ However, just as she raised her hand to his face, before she could touch it, Xu Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes as if he had sensed something. A trace of drowsiness flashed past his eyes and he immediately woke up. He saw Zuo Yue¡¯s hand that was reaching out and held it immediately. At the same time, he looked at her.¡±You¡¯re awake?¡± Zuo Yue looked at him blankly and nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re awake. Your injuries from a month ago haven¡¯t fully healed yet. It¡¯s already dangerous to go out in the cold wind. You¡¯ve also drunk so much, and it¡¯s already a miracle that you fainted from exhaustion after staying up for so long.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him in a daze, nodded and then shook her head. She opened her mouth to ask him a question, but when the words reached her mouth, her face suddenly turned red. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten anything since last night. I¡¯ll go get breakfast.¡±Xu Chengfeng let go of her hand and got up to leave. Zuo Yue saw that he was about to leave and quickly reached out to grab his sleeve. Xu Chengfeng turned around and saw her pale face looking at him pitifully. This was not the first time he had seen such a scene. This girl liked to behave atrociously outside, but she pretended to be pitiful in front of him and waited for her sympathy. However, he clearly saw through her tricks, but he fell into it. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a grudge. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hoarse voice was very small, and her eyes were staring at him.¡±¡±Yesterday¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t leave and let her pull his sleeve. He didn¡¯t speak and waited for her to continue. ¡°After I drank too much yesterday¡­How did you bring me back¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned even redder after she asked. ¡°You don¡¯t remember?¡± Xu Chengfeng stared into her eyes. Zuo Yue blushed and did not answer him. Instead, she pulled his sleeve even tighter. ¡°If you don¡¯t remember, I¡¯ll reminisce with you when you¡¯re full. Do you have the strength to get out of bed now? Should I bring breakfast up to feed you, or do you want to go downstairs to eat?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go down myself.¡± Zuo Yue was just too weak yesterday for various reasons. It was not to the extent that she could not move even after going downstairs for breakfast. She struggled to sit up as she spoke, but she still did not have much strength. At the same time, she stole a glance at him and saw that Xu Chengfeng had already walked to the door. After opening the door, he did not walk out but stood there waiting for her. Zuo Yue lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She did not plan to change out of her pajamas. The room was warm as spring, so she did not need to wear a coat. She just wore her fluffy slippers and walked towards the door. ¡°Let¡¯s go downstairs to eat¡­¡± Zuo Yue saw Xu Chengfeng standing in front of the door without moving. She walked behind him and was about to speak when suddenly, her waist tightened. At the same time, the world spun before her eyes. She was suddenly hugged by him and pressed against the wall at the same time. Before she could see clearly, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss had already landed on her lips. It was not as fierce and domineering as last night, but it was still lingering and powerful. Zuo Yue looked at the man in front of her in shock. She was frozen between his body and the wall. ¡°Breathe.¡± ¡°..¡±Only then did Zuo Yue remember that she still needed to breathe. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gentle and husky voice lingered on her lips.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you forget what happened last night? I¡¯m helping you remember.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, while Zuo Yue was still in shock, the man¡¯s tongue had already invaded everything in her mouth. Chapter 1011 - Chapter 1011: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-You Have to Take Charge (96) Chapter 1011: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-You Have to Take Charge (96) At the dining table- Zuo Yue stuffed her breakfast into her mouth as she raised her head from time to time to steal glances at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite her. Xu Chengfeng was calmly sipping his coffee and reading a business magazine, but she could not remain calm. Because she could not calm down, she suddenly choked on a mouthful of toast as she ate. She quickly reached out to look for a cup on the table. Xu Chengfeng saw her choking and pushed the cup of hot milk that belonged to her to her. Zuo Yue quickly grabbed the cup and gulped down a mouthful of wine. When she finally caught her breath, she put down the cup and looked at Xu Chengfeng at the same time. She saw that he was no longer reading the magazine but looking at her. Left month, embarrassed, embarrassed, embarrassed, thinking of before, coming out of the bedroom, before, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that He¡­ Zuo Yue was deep in thought with her head lowered. Xu Chengfeng put down the magazine in his hand and took another sip of coffee. When he put down the coffee cup, he said calmly,¡±¡±Are you full?¡± ¡°Ah, not yet.¡± Zuo Yue quickly picked up the toast and jam again and lowered her head to continue eating. However, no matter how much she ate, she felt that it was tasteless. After all, her entire heart was in turmoil and she did not know what to do. Her mind was filled with his kisses. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s confused look, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up without batting an eyelid. His casual smile gradually faded. He did not say anything more and stood up to leave the dining table. After leaving his line of sight, Zuo Yue felt that she had returned to normal. She quickly settled the problem of breakfast and went to drink some water. She turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng returning to the bedroom to change his clothes. When she saw the shirt and suit he was wearing, Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly darkened.¡±Are you going out?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± A business partner from England suddenly came over. He¡¯ll be back in an hour.¡±¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue did not ask any more questions. Seeing the little girl¡¯s disappointment, it was not that he did not understand her confusion and the feeling of not being able to keep her feet on the ground. When Zuo Yue turned around and was about to go upstairs, Xu Chengfeng suddenly walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. Zuo Yue paused and immediately turned around. At the same time, her body was turned around by Xu Chengfeng. The man¡¯s arm forcefully pulled her into his embrace. At the moment when she was shocked, he lowered his head and whispered into her ear ambiguously,¡±Be good and wait for me to come back, okay?¡± His deep voice was seductive. Zuo Yue blushed and nodded stiffly. However, just as she raised her eyes and inadvertently glanced at his lips, his kiss had already landed on her eyelids. Although this kiss that was as light as a feather was not as passionate as the kiss between lips, it was like a shot in the arm that made Zuo Yue clearly feel his feelings for her. She also clearly felt his concern. Zuo Yue¡¯s feeling of floating and unable to step on the ground instantly became much more stable. She nodded again and then smiled. Although Xu Chengfeng did not say much, from his actions, all of this at least proved that he had compromised with her, and even¡­He was already accepting her¡­ Zuo Yue smiled happily. Xu Chengfeng looked at the little girl who had a triumphant expression on her face and patted her head gently. He said calmly,¡±¡±I was forcefully brought into the abyss by you. Remember to take responsibility.¡± ¡°How do I take responsibility?¡± Zuo Yue looked at him with a red face. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and his eyes darkened as he leaned closer to her ear again. His warm breath brushed against her ear, causing her body to tremble. She wanted to retreat, but she could not because his hand was on her waist. ¡°Think about how you should be responsible for me.¡±A man¡¯s voice. A low voice rang in her ears. In a moment, he suddenly pulled away and his gaze fell on her red face, smiling lightly. At this moment, Xu Chengfeng received a call. Zuo Yue stood where she was and watched his back as he turned around to answer the call. She raised her hand to touch her face. When she felt the heat on her face, her face became even redder. Her entire expression was as if she had fallen into a dream and had not recovered from it. After Xu Chengfeng took the phone, he looked back at her. Zuo Yue immediately looked up and met his eyes. ¡°Stop looking. If your physical condition allows it, I might be able to take you out for a walk. I just drank last night, and I¡¯m still drunk and haven¡¯t recovered yet.¡±Without needing Zuo Yue to open her mouth, Xu Chengfeng had already seen through her. Zuo Yue was embarrassed. Her expectant eyes were instantly filled with disappointment.¡±Then come back early¡­¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled. Until he left the room, Zuo Yue still felt as if she was walking on thin ice. She felt as if she would fall into the abyss if she was not careful¡­ Uncle, this is¡­Really¡­ Have you accepted it? What was she and Xu Chengfeng doing now¡­She suddenly started dating? Or¡­Or something else¡­ He wanted her to take responsibility¡­ But how was she going to take responsibility¡­ Zuo Yue raised her hand and bit her nails. She turned around and sat on the sofa with a blank look on her face. She looked down at the new coffee table in front of her and then looked out the window. Xu Chengfeng had already driven away. She sat on the sofa in a daze and suddenly felt that this hour was extremely long. Half an hour later, Yue was still sitting on the sofa in a daze. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She quickly got up and went to the dining table to get her cell phone. When she saw that the caller ID was Yin Ruisheng¡¯s number, she immediately picked up the phone with a headache. ¡°Does your head still hurt?¡± After the call connected, Yin Ruisheng did not wait for her to speak and asked directly. Zuo Yue recalled what happened last night and felt a little awkward and apologetic.¡±¡±I¡¯m much better. I lost control yesterday and didn¡¯t expect to drink for so long. In the end, I even dragged you down. I¡¯m sorry, Brother Ruisheng.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m willing.¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. She did not know how to express the apology that was on the tip of her tongue. ¡°You don¡¯t have to feel sorry. There are many things between a man and a woman that can¡¯t be skipped just by thanking and apologizing. However, Zuo Yue, I still hope that you can consider it carefully. After all, the relationship between the two of you¡­¡± ¡°Brother Ruisheng, I know what I¡¯m doing.¡±¡±Zuo Yue interrupted her softly,¡±¡±Did you stay at the hotel yesterday, or did you go back to school? I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when I have time. It can also be considered as an apology for what happened yesterday.¡± Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t say anything for a while when he heard her treat him like an outsider. In the end, he sighed on the other end of the phone.¡±I won¡¯t see you for the time being unless you¡¯ve thought it through and are willing to listen to my advice. Otherwise, as long as I see you, I want to bring you to a place where he can¡¯t find you. If you haven¡¯t thought it through, I won¡¯t see you again.¡± Chapter 1012 - Chapter 1012: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, My Man (97) Chapter 1012: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, My Man (97) The other party hung up the phone. Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and looked at the phone screen that had already darkened. She suddenly felt that she seemed to have done something wrong yesterday on impulse. Just as he was about to put down his phone, the screen lit up again. He received a text message. The message was signed by Yin Ruisheng. [Do you love him?] Zuo Yue looked at her phone for a while before replying,¡±[Yes.] A few minutes later, he replied,[Your love is to drag the other party into the abyss, and at the same time, let yourself fall into eternal damnation.]] Zuo Yue did not reply. Instead, she held her phone and looked at the line of words. She did not move for a long time. It had been almost an hour since Xu Chengfeng left. Zuo Yue turned around on the sofa to look at the time, not knowing when he would return. The hour he said was almost up. He said it wouldn¡¯t be more than an hour¡­ Zuo Yue was secretly thinking about what Xu Chengfeng had promised before he left the house. She wondered if it was a common problem for women who had just fallen in love to care so much about such small details. Fifty-nine minutes¡­Fifty-nine minutes and ten seconds¡­Fifty-nine minutes and forty seconds¡­ Suddenly, the sound of a car came from outside the door. Zuo Yue, who was secretly checking the seconds, suddenly stood up and ran to the French window. She saw the familiar dark gray Porsche driving back. Xu Chengfeng got out of the car. When he closed the door, he turned around and saw Zuo Yue leaning against the French window, looking at him pitifully like a left-behind child. He raised his handsome eyebrows and walked straight through the door. After entering the door, Zuo Yue was still leaning against the window, but she was leaning sideways, facing him lazily. Her fingers were still drawing circles on the glass shyly. She was obviously embarrassed, but she could not help but steal a few glances at him. The little girl¡¯s coquettish and shy expression made Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart flutter. Without taking off his coat, he waved at her directly, signaling her to come over. Zuo Yue stood there without moving. ¡°Come here.¡± He simply opened his mouth. Zuo Yue¡¯s footsteps shifted a little before she walked towards him. However, just as she reached him, Xu Chengfeng stretched out his long arm and wrapped it around her waist. Zuo Yue crashed into his embrace because of his strength. She looked at him with a hot face.¡±Uncle¡­¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go back to your bedroom to rest? What were you doing just now?¡±Xu Chengfeng locked onto the light in her eyes and chuckled. ¡°Waiting for you.¡± Zuo Yue pointed at his watch.¡± You said you¡¯d be back in an hour. I was so bored that I kept checking the time.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and frowned.¡±¡±You spent your life waiting for me? Couldn¡¯t he go back to his bedroom to rest in an hour? Or read a book? Don¡¯t you know how many classes you¡¯ve missed recently?¡± Here it comes again! Just now, he was clearly looking like he wanted to date her, but now, his role had changed to that of a parent! Zuo Yue rolled her eyes.¡± ¡°Did I ask you to go out drinking yesterday?¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who made me so angry that I don¡¯t know what else to do other than drink.¡±Zuo Yue glared at him. ¡°Nonsense.¡± Xu Chengfeng patted her on the head. Zuo Yue raised her hand and rubbed her head. She said aggrievedly,¡±¡±You weren¡¯t like this before you left. Why did you come back and lecture me¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng let go of her and turned to take off his coat. At the same time, he glanced at her indifferently.¡±On the way back, I met a professor from your medical university. Because I met him by chance, I only found out that you were his student after chatting for a while. I¡¯ve been very worried about your condition recently, and I¡¯m even worried that you won¡¯t be able to take the final exam.¡± Zuo Yue panicked when she heard that.¡± Although I missed out on a lot of lessons, I¡¯ve been doing very well. No matter what, I¡¯ll definitely pass the exam even if I suddenly go back!¡±¡± ¡°Your bottom line is just passing?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Then I¡¯m sick and injured¡­¡± ¡°In the future, you can study and make up for your lessons at home. Your mother asked me to take care of you and also supervise your studies. I can¡¯t control the direction of your emotions now. As for your studies, at least they can¡¯t be too bad.¡±As he spoke, Xu Chengfeng glanced in the direction of the study.¡±¡±While you¡¯re on sick leave at home, you can choose between the study rooms upstairs and downstairs.¡± Zuo Yue immediately lowered her head, turned around and sat on the sofa without saying a word. She picked up the pillow and hugged it in her arms with a melancholic expression. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Uncle, do you still treat me as your niece or¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, she raised her head and looked at him pitifully.¡±¡±What kind of relationship do we have now?¡± Zuo Yue asked straightforwardly, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes swept across her cheeks, and finally glanced at her fingers that were quietly rubbing together. ¡°What kind of relationship do you think we have now?¡± ¡°If I knew, would I still ask you?¡±Zuo Yue pursed her lips. [Are you not my niece now?]¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, when you repeatedly pestered me in an attempt to capture me, you clearly understood that our relationship is irreversible. No matter what angle I stand in to treat you, our relationship should not change unless there are any accidents.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. What I meant was¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised her finger and pointed at him, then pointed at her own mouth. She blushed and said,¡±¡±I mean you¡­ The relationship between you and me¡­What kind of relationship is that¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and casually put his coat aside. His voice was light and casual as he said,¡±What kind of relationship?¡± Zuo Yue waited for his answer with anticipation. Xu Chengfeng casually unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt and looked at Zuo Yue, who was blushing and unable to look away. He then casually unbuttoned his sleeves and turned around to walk back to the bedroom. As he left his back view to her, he calmly said,¡±¡±It¡¯s the kind of relationship you want.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She took a long time to recover from her shock. She suddenly raised her head and looked at his back.¡±Uncle, do you mean that you¡¯re my man from now on?¡± As soon as Xu Chengfeng opened the bedroom door, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look in her direction. He saw Zuo Yue sitting there with excitement in her eyes. The pink pajamas on her set off her fair face. It was seductive, especially seductive. Xu Chengfeng felt that he had reached the limit of his life. He felt that this girl had smoothed it out bit by bit. The veins on his forehead throbbed. Then, he sighed and laughed. Without answering, he went straight to the door to change his clothes. Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and looked in the direction of his bedroom. She thought in a daze,¡¯What is this?¡¯ Was it so funny to be her man? Why was he laughing so hard that she felt like an idiot? Chapter 1013 - Chapter 1013: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Not Interested?(98) Chapter 1013: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Not Interested?(98) The ballpoint pen kept writing and drawing on the notebook. Zuo Yue focused on revising for a few hours. Her head hurt so much that it was about to explode. In the end, she suddenly put down the pen in her hand and raised her hands to rub her forehead with her eyes closed. She and her uncle¡­ Was this considered being together? However, from the night before yesterday until now, it seemed that he had only used two kisses to prove their relationship and closeness. There was no more. Last night, in order to test her uncle¡¯s feelings for her, she had deliberately worn a thin white nightgown. He even specially went to the kitchen to wash the fruits. The clothes on his chest were gradually wet and looked like spring. If it was a normal relationship between a couple, he would have kissed her or¡­ Of course, she didn¡¯t dare to think about more, but at least she couldn¡¯t be too cold, right? But in the end, although he wasn¡¯t cold at that time, he still averted his gaze appropriately and asked her to go upstairs to change her clothes. So affectionate and polite, were they together or not? Or was it just a moment of emotion and he couldn¡¯t help but kiss her? This question lingered in her mind for an entire day and night, but she could not figure it out. At this moment, she was so tired from revising that her back ached and her head ached.¡±It¡¯s the kind of relationship you want.¡± What she wanted¡­ It was more than that¡­ If her uncle really decided to accept her, even though she was only 18 years old, in this era, the concept of men and women, and the place where she lived was not very feudal. What she really wanted was more than that. However, she could not say too much. She could not run to Xu Chengfeng and question him,¡± Do you have no feelings for me? Do you treat me as a woman? There¡¯s nothing else to do after two kisses? Zuo Yue thought about it deeply again. Suddenly, her face turned red as she thought about some scenes. She raised her hand to caress her face. In the end, she simply lay on the desk and stared at the books on the table in a daze. It had been very quiet outside, but suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of a conversation. It sounded like a woman¡¯s voice. Zuo Yue suddenly sat up straight and turned her head to look in the direction of the study with a strange expression. Just as she was feeling strange, she suddenly felt that the voice was a little familiar. She immediately stood up and walked to the door, secretly listening to the movements outside through the door. ¡°The matter of the branch¡­It¡¯s because you haven¡¯t had time to go over personally recently¡­Therefore, I could only come over to see you¡­¡± ¡°There are many things to pay attention to in this collaboration¡­I¡¯ve already explained it to you¡­However, I still need you to observe it personally¡­¡± ¡°My uninvited invitation¡­ Boss Xu won¡¯t mind¡­¡± This voice¡­ Zuo Yue secretly opened the door of the study room by a small crack. From afar, she saw the woman who always appeared beside Xu Chengfeng, Chries, in the living room of the villa. She saw the woman¡¯s seductive figure, long wavy hair, and even her usual clothes, which were low-cut, and the cleavage on her chest was too obvious! However, Chries was still holding a stack of documents and sitting beside Xu Chengfeng. It seemed like she was there to talk to Xu Chengfeng about work, but when she was talking to him, she leaned slightly against him, and her breasts brushed against his arm. Xu Chengfeng was already used to Chries ¡®subtle seduction of him, so he did not think much of it. He avoided her without batting an eyelid and focused on the information in his hands. However, this visual effect seemed to be Zuo Yue silently allowing Chries to run into the house to seduce him! Zuo Yue gritted his teeth. He had already kissed her before. Although he did not express his feelings, it proved that their relationship was no longer as simple as that of uncle and niece. Why was he still in contact with that Chries? Why was he acting so flirtatious? Did he think she didn¡¯t exist? He didn¡¯t have any desire for her, and he even kept his eyes on her at all times. He couldn¡¯t be too exposed. Was he complaining that her breasts were not as big as Chries ¡®? Zuo Yue peeked in that direction unhappily. She did not hear what Chries was saying for a moment. She was only paying attention to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression and movements. She could only see one side of his face and not the whole picture. Then, she saw that Chries seemed to think that there was no one else in the house for the time being and leaned closer to him without any fear. ¡°President Xu, the temperature in your house is a little hot. Aren¡¯t you hot?¡±Chries said as she unbuttoned another button on her already low-cut chest. Seeing this, Zuo Yue secretly clenched her fists in the house. Xu Chengfeng glanced at Chries, his eyes indifferent and his voice low.¡±Don¡¯t you remember what I said to you last time? I¡¯ve already made it very clear.¡± Chries raised his eyebrows and smiled. Although he was a little disappointed, he still buttoned up his shirt and said sincerely,¡±¡±But Ken, I can¡¯t accept this.¡± ¡°Everyone has things they are unwilling to accept. Endure it and it will pass.¡±Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away from her face and continued to read the documents in his hands. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that Chries was very capable at her job, he probably wouldn¡¯t have been able to tolerate having such a woman constantly challenge his bottom line. ¡°How? If a person had a dream, shouldn¡¯t he always be close to his dream?¡±Chries ¡®voice was gentle as she said in his ear,¡±¡±Ken, you are my dream.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned, but he continued to flip through the information as if he did not hear it. Seeing that he had no intention of responding to her after the last time he had made things clear to her, Chries pursed her lips in boredom. She leaned over to him again and deliberately whispered into his ear,¡±Ken, even if you don¡¯t want me to be your girlfriend, don¡¯t you have any biological needs? Actually, I can also¡­¡± Her hand had already crept onto his arm, her fingers gently stroking his arm as she slowly climbed up in a teasing manner. However, just as she moved up a few times, Xu Chengfeng had already reached out and pulled her hand down. At the same time, he shot her a warning look.¡±If you don¡¯t want me to chase you out now, then act like you¡¯re here to talk about work. Sit opposite me.¡± Chries put down his hand helplessly and muttered softly,¡±¡±Are you not interested in women? I seduced you so much and you didn¡¯t even move?¡± Chapter 1014 - Chapter 1014: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Condoning and Condoning (99) Chapter 1014: Taking the Wind and Asking the Moon-Condoning and Condoning (99) Xu Chengfeng obviously did not intend to explain. His eyes continued to look at the information, and he had no intention of responding to her provocation. Chries felt that she had worked so hard for so long, but she was about to lose to this man who had too much self-control. ¡°Ken¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng silently lifted his finger and pointed at the sofa opposite him. It went without saying that this was the last warning. Chries knew his temper well. This man would not get angry at people he did not care about, nor would he get emotional. However, the more quiet and indifferent he was, the more the boundaries between them were drawn. Not wanting to anger him, she could only obediently get up and sit on the sofa opposite him, not continuing to pester him. Suddenly, the door to the study not far away was opened. Chries, although you know that he is that niece, seems to be living here, but recently you haven¡¯t heard about her, too many things, still thought that this time Zuo Yue is not here, but when you heard the voice, you looked up and saw Zuo Yue wearing a long white man¡¯s shirt that barely covered his hips, walking out of the study, his face lazy and relaxed, as if he was wearing this every day, and he didn¡¯t think there was anything strange about it. Chries immediately recognized that the shirt belonged to Xu Chengfeng. The moment he saw Zuo Yue walk out, his face froze and he looked at Zuo Yue as if he had seen a ghost. Xu Chengfeng turned his head around when he noticed Chries ¡®strange behavior. He saw Zuo Yue¡¯s outfit and the veins on his forehead popped. His gaze swept across her white shirt and then looked at her long and fair legs. It was as if there was nothing under her shirt. His eyes darkened when he saw the girl deliberately dressed up like this. He barely averted his gaze from Zuo Yue and raised his hand to his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. There was a spare wardrobe in his study room, and there were indeed a few sets of clothes inside. He did not expect this girl to wear conservative pajamas and study for a few hours. He thought that she would be able to study for the whole day, but she suddenly changed into his clothes and came out dressed like this. Was she silently provoking Chries or challenging his self-control? ¡°Aiya, are there guests at home?¡± When Zuo Yue walked out, she seemed to have finally noticed Chries ¡®presence. She immediately smiled innocently and walked over. When she met Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze, her face turned slightly red. Her shy expression was even more frightening in Chries¡¯ eyes. Chries opened his mouth but could not close it for a long time. Then, he turned to look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s calm expression.¡±Ah¡­Ken¡­She¡­?¡± Even though she could tell that Zuo Yue had a different feeling towards Xu Chengfeng and she had suspected something, the scene before her eyes made her speechless even though she was born and raised in a western country. Xu Chengfeng sighed and rubbed his eyebrows. He did not answer, but he did not turn back to look at Zuo Yue. Instead, he said to Zuo Yue, who was walking over,¡±¡±Change your clothes back.¡± Zuo Yue acted as if she did not hear him. She continued to walk to the sofa and walked around it to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s side. She sat down next to him and crossed her long and fair legs to cover the faint spring light between her legs. Then, she smiled like the mistress of the house. She looked at Chries, who wanted to calm down but could not.¡±Hi, we meet again!¡± Chries ¡®smile was a little stiff. She tried hard for a long time but couldn¡¯t pull out a smile. In the end, she could only nod at her and then look at Xu Chengfeng with a surprised look, wanting to find an answer from him. Xu Chengfeng did not say a word. He only glanced at the audacious girl beside him. Before he could speak, Zuo Yue sat close to him. At the same time, she turned her head and looked at him with a smile.¡±Uncle, why didn¡¯t you tell me that there were guests at home?¡± Xu Chengfeng could tell that Zuo Yue was jealous. However, since Chries was sitting there, he did not need Zuo Yue to think too much. Some things had already started to take a different direction step by step. Whether to continue to let this girl be willful, accompany this girl to be willful, or regain her rationality was the key. However, when Xu Chengfeng did not speak, Zuo Yue took the initiative to reach out and hold his arm. Leaning on his shoulder, she said with an intimate and flushed face,¡±¡±Uncle, your shirt is so big¡­Moreover, I¡¯m not wearing anything underneath, but you can¡¯t tell at all¡­¡± ¡°Cough¡­¡± Suddenly, Chries raised his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly. He looked awkwardly at Xu Chengfeng, who had a dark expression on his face. Seeing that he did not hug Zuo Yue back or push her away, Chries could not help but say,¡±¡±Ken¡­¡± ¡°Ken?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly raised her head to look at her, her eyes shining with a different light.¡±If I remember correctly, this is the name my uncle used in Russia. Ever since he returned to the Xu family, he rarely used the name Ken. The person who can really call him that must be very close to him. If I remember correctly, it should only be a superior-subordinate relationship, right?¡± The little girl, who was usually beside Xu Chengfeng, was now like a thorn in her flesh. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Seeing that he had tacitly agreed to the little girl¡¯s provocation, Chries understood that she had indeed overstepped her boundaries. She could only awkwardly change her tone.¡±President Xu, can we go out and talk?¡± The scene in front of her really made her lose her rationality, but her words were also irrational. Xu Chengfeng rarely gave her the chance to stand alone with him, so why would he go out and talk to her now? Zuo Yue¡¯s smile was as bright as a flower. Her legs had changed directions and were crossed together again. She was only wearing fluffy slippers. Her ankles were so fair that it looked like she had just taken a shower. Her young and tender appearance made Chries feel a little ashamed. Even though she had always been absolutely confident in her looks and figure, she still felt a little inferior because of Zuo Yue, who looked like she was still at the age of willfulness. However, the real source of her inferiority was that this little girl was clearly messing around, but Xu Chengfeng, who had always been indifferent, had been indulging her. Chapter 1015 - Chapter 1015: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Fighting a Love Rival (100) Chapter 1015: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Fighting a Love Rival (100) ¡°If you have anything to say, just say it here. There¡¯s no need to go out and talk.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s answer was indeed within her expectations. At the same time, Chries looked at Zuo Yue, whose eyes were shining.¡±¡±Miss Zuo, you and Ken¡­I mean, CEO Xu¡­ After all, you are the relatives of the elder generation. Even if he dotes on you and likes to take care of your niece, you are still an adult. If you wear his shirt at home without any other clothes, isn¡¯t it a little too much?¡± With Xu Chengfeng around, Chries could not be too direct and hurtful. However, his tone was clearly challenging Zuo Yue¡¯s dignity and questioning her from a different angle. Zuo Yue put down her legs and shook her shirt. As she stood up, she spun around in front of Chries. The fragrance of her shower gel entered Chries ¡®nose and made her frown. The smell brushed past Xu Chengcheng¡¯s nose. His eyes darkened, and he suddenly grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand to stop her from showing off. Zuo Yue had no choice but to stop wandering around. Instead, she looked at Chries with an innocent and harmless smile.¡±After all, this is my uncle¡¯s and my house. I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need for an outsider like you to criticize what I wear at home, right?¡± Chries ¡®expression froze. He did not expect an eighteen-year-old girl to have such high scores. He forced a smile on his face and said,¡±¡±Speaking of which, Chengfeng and I are about the same age. No matter what, we are considered your elders. Perhaps I am just looking at you from the perspective of an adult. You are only an eighteen-year-old girl. It is indeed inappropriate for you to dress like this.¡± ¡°Oh, really?¡± Zuo Yue smiled and deliberately tugged at the corner of her clothes to reveal her fair thighs. Xu Chengfeng glared at her and almost warned her, but even Chries did not believe that she could be so shameless! However, just as she was about to be exposed, Zuo Yue deliberately put down her hand and pointed at the low-cut dress that Chries was wearing.¡±¡±Auntie Chries is already at the age of an elder. Do you think it¡¯s appropriate for her to show her cleavage and breasts all day long and then come to her boss¡¯s house?¡± Chries glared at her and was about to stand up when she suddenly noticed Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze. She suppressed her anger and looked at Xu Chengfeng with a smile.¡± CEO Xu knows my usual style. As a mature woman, I¡¯m used to red lips and sexy clothing. However, sexiness doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯m unrestrained. On the contrary, in this world, some young ladies may look innocent and harmless, but they¡¯re seductive deep down. Those young ladies who can ignore the constraints of morality and dare to climb into anyone¡¯s bed. Even women like us who are about to turn 30 can¡¯t understand them¡­¡± Zuo Yue was not angry. Instead, she laughed. She had to be liked by the man, right, Auntie Chries?¡± Chries ¡®expression froze when he heard the word¡¯ auntie¡¯. ¡°As long as that man is willing to give her a favor, it doesn¡¯t matter if she¡¯s pretending to be innocent or if she¡¯s deliberately running out to sell herself. It¡¯s definitely something that both of us are willing to do. It¡¯s much sweeter than forcing a melon, right?¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue politely nodded at her.¡±¡±Auntie, you¡¯re old. Do you want some coffee? Or tea? Or juice? We have them all at home. Do you like cold or hot ones? Let me make you a cup?¡± Chries clenched his fists tightly. He did not understand why Xu Chengfeng would allow such a willful girl to act so recklessly in front of him. Was he not planning to control this audacious little girl? Chries looked at Xu Chengfeng again, but Xu Chengfeng was already holding his forehead with one hand and reading the document with the other. It was obvious that he had no intention of caring about Zuo Yue. He was really supporting her. After all, the two of them were her guests! Chries did not get anything out of it, and she did not come here today to quarrel or cause any unhappiness. She had always been affectionate but did not pester Xu Chengfeng. She had always been sensible, and because of that, he did not hate her. She could not block her future. ¡°Juice.¡± Chries said directly. In any case, it would be good to get this annoying little girl out of her sight as soon as possible. ¡°Juice?¡± Zuo Yue looked back at the kitchen not far away.¡±¡± I want to get up, I don¡¯t think there was any juice at home yesterday. I¡¯m dressed like this now. It¡¯s not convenient for me to go out and buy juice at the last minute. My uncle is reading some information at the moment and can¡¯t go out to buy it. Auntie Chries, why don¡¯t you go to the supermarket and buy two boxes of freshly squeezed juice for us?¡± One peach flavored, and the other orange flavored!¡± Chries suddenly looked up at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was also smiling at her, but her eyes were as sharp as hers. No matter what was going on between him and his uncle, at the very least, he could not give outsiders the chance to interfere! She would never let go of her youngest uncle since she had already made a start! ¡°President Xu, it seems that I came here too abruptly today.¡±Seeing that Xu Chengfeng had not reprimanded Zuo Yue, Chries finally could not take it anymore. Xu Chengfeng shifted his gaze away from the documents in his hands and glanced at Chries before looking at Zuo Yue.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, go back to your room first.¡± Zuo Yue stood still. Xu Chengfeng put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and walked to her side. The difference in height made her feel pressured. Zuo Yue wanted to ignore his warning, but she instinctively turned to look at him because he was getting closer. ¡°Be good, go back to your room first.¡± Xu Chengfeng said softly. She saw that he was patient and gentle with her, and did not seem to be dissatisfied with her for picking on Tears. Only then did Zuo Yue look at him again. She did not intend to continue fooling around. She stopped when it was appropriate and turned around to leave. However, she was still somewhat unhappy when she left. Why should she go back to her room? Wasn¡¯t Chries the one who shouldn¡¯t be here? Why did he have to leave? Xu Chengfeng could tell that even though the little girl had obediently left, she still looked a little angry. He followed her for a while before turning to look at Chries, who was sitting on the sofa in anger. Chapter 1016 - Chapter 1016: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Little Jealous (101) Chapter 1016: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Little Jealous (101) ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that she¡¯s young and insensible and that I have to bear with her. She¡¯s already eighteen years old and isn¡¯t really a little girl.¡±Kries said. ¡°I didn¡¯t plan on asking you to bear with me.¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly. Chries ¡®expression froze as he looked at Xu Chengfeng in surprise.¡±¡±Ken?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not intend to explain further, but he did not seem to intend to hide the changes between him and Zuo Yue. He looked at Chries calmly and said,¡±¡±I will instruct my subordinates to handle the matters of the branch. You don¡¯t have to worry about it anymore. Go back to your original position and continue to be a senior executive of your company.¡± Chries could not find a voice to speak to because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude. After a while, she said,¡±¡±Ken, that Zuo Yue is your niece, right?¡± ¡°What do you want to ask?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked calmly.¡± Although his gaze was calm, it was cold. Chries was shocked and immediately stopped talking.¡±No¡­ I mean¡­ I¡¯m just curious¡­ That little girl¡­She¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing you need to be curious about here? Take care of your own work and do your part.¡±At this point, Xu Chengfeng forced himself to be merciful and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re not young anymore. Find a suitable person and get married. Don¡¯t wait for me anymore.¡± Chries clenched her fists. No matter how much he rejected her, she always felt that there was still a chance. But now, looking at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s calm gaze, Chries suddenly smiled bitterly. At the same time, her eyes reddened a little. She lowered her head and looked at the documents on the coffee table.¡± Actually, I¡¯m only here to deliver some documents today. However, I wanted to see you, so I took this opportunity to come to your place. However, I didn¡¯t expect that Zuo Yue and you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sending you off.¡± Before Chries could finish his sentence, Xu Chengfeng had already ordered him to leave. Chries sat there stiffly for a long time before she slowly reached out to pick up her handbag from the sofa. She took a few deep breaths as if she wanted to make sure Xu Chengfeng was serious. When she looked up and saw his gaze, her gaze instantly turned cold. Without saying another word, she turned around and left. ***** ¡°So what if you have big breasts? The shape did not change at all when he stood up and sat down. Who knew if it was actually made of silica gel!¡± ¡°You want me to go back to my room? Why didn¡¯t you say that I was studying in the study and was disturbed by the two of you? In the end, you actually want me to go back to my room?¡± ¡°What exactly do you mean¡­What do you mean?¡± Zuo Yue stood by the window of the bedroom and looked at the bathtub on the windowsill. She looked at the little fish swimming in the bathtub while muttering softly. ¡°You usually make me dress so conservatively at home, but you didn¡¯t even say a word when Chries dressed so scantily. Do women with big breasts look good when they¡¯re exposed? If I don¡¯t wear a piece of clothing, you want me to come back and change! As if I¡¯m an exhibitionist!¡± ¡°First, he wanted me to be with Brother Sheng, then he forcefully brought me back like a lunatic. He even kissed me, hugged me, and touched me! In the end, he acted like a parent and asked me to revise. From this day until now, we haven¡¯t talked about relationships! In the blink of an eye, my love rival came to my door, and you actually asked me to avoid it!¡± ¡°Bastard! Xu Chengfeng, did you get shot in the head when you were in the underworld? Crazy? What exactly do you want? Can¡¯t you just give me the answer?¡± Zuo Yue glared fiercely at a small black fish in the fish tank. She took the fishing net and chased after it. She chased after its tail, scaring it so much that it kept running around in the water, causing a splash. She was still unhappy. She stared at the black fish and said,¡±¡±If you provoke me again, I¡¯ll wash you and steam you later!¡± Zuo Yue did not notice that the bedroom door behind her had been opened, nor did she notice that someone had come in. At this moment, she was focused on chasing after the small black fish. It was only when a familiar aura approached her from behind that she heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold voice suddenly ring out from behind her.¡±¡±How do you want to eat me?¡± Zuo Yue was so frightened that her hands were trembling. She threw the fishing net down and took two steps back. Seeing that she slipped and almost fell, Xu Chengfeng grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. At the same time, he looked down at her awkward expression. His handsome eyebrows moved slightly and he snorted.¡±Didn¡¯t you just say that you wanted to eat me? Why are you so scared when you see me?¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes and reached out to push his arm away. However, he hugged her even tighter, directly imprisoning her in his arms. He lowered his eyes and leaned close to her ear with an ambiguous and intimate distance. His warm breath brushed against her ear.¡±How do you want to eat? Hmm?¡± Zuo Yue trembled at his deep and hoarse voice. She was actually wearing undergarments and a pair of shorts, but she was still wearing a thin shirt. She could feel the warmth of his palm through the thin layer of fabric. Zuo Yue felt as if she had been scalded and instinctively wanted to break free. Xu Chengfeng had already grabbed her back with one hand and held her chin with the other, forcing her to turn around and look at him. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with certainty. She could only roll her eyes at him and then deliberately look elsewhere. ¡°Alright, stop messing around. I was giving you face by letting you do whatever you wanted in front of Chries and not saying a word. Now, you¡¯re actually throwing a tantrum at me?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was full of affection and helplessness. ¡°Was I doing something wrong just now?¡±Zuo Yue tilted her head and looked at him with an indignant expression.¡±¡±Then what¡¯s your relationship with Chries? In the past, I didn¡¯t have the right to ask and could only secretly be jealous. Now¡­At least, you can ask, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her jealous expression and could not help but laugh. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡± Zuo Yue twisted in his arms.¡± Xu Chengfeng, let me tell you. Even if our relationship can¡¯t be done openly, since I¡¯ve already decided to pester you, and you¡¯re no longer so resistant to me, you¡¯re not allowed to have any contact with other women, especially the one just now!¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled and deliberately asked,¡±How did that offend you?¡±¡± ¡°Every time that woman sees you, it¡¯s like a carnivorous animal seeing meat! His eyes were shining as if he wanted to swallow you whole!¡±Zuo Yue said unhappily. Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and whispered into her ear with a faint smile. He brushed past her ear gently like a kiss, causing her to tremble as he said in a low voice,¡±You¡¯re about the same.¡± Chapter 1017 - Chapter 1017: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unable to Control Yourself (102) Chapter 1017: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unable to Control Yourself (102) ¡°What do you mean I¡¯m about the same? I¡¯m pouncing openly!¡± Zuo Yue stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck.¡±¡±That person is looking at you with shifty eyes! How could this be the same! Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and hugged her waist. He looked down at the obvious jealousy in her eyes and chuckled.¡±It seems that we haven¡¯t had a good talk yet. Regarding our relationship¡­¡± ¡°Is there a need to talk? You¡¯ve already kissed me, don¡¯t tell me you want to go back on your word?¡±As Zuo Yue spoke, she did not give up and hugged his neck forcefully. She pulled him down forcefully and kissed his lips. If it was in the past, Xu Chengfeng would definitely push her away. But now, when she pounced on him and took the initiative to kiss him, his eyes were smiling. Although he did not respond, he did not push her away either. Seeing that he was deliberately not responding, Zuo Yue bit and nibbled on his lips forcefully. She imitated the domineering manner he had when he kissed her. She stuck out her tongue to pry open his teeth, but after trying for a long time, Xu Chengfeng did not let her tongue enter. Zuo Yue did not know what to do. She had clearly learned how to kiss him properly, but why was she still unable to get in? As she used her tongue to probe his lips and wondered if she had not kissed him hard enough, Xu Chengfeng had already tightened his grip on her waist. His other hand grabbed the back of her head and sucked her lips into his mouth. A fierce and ambiguous kiss that made her blush and her heart race immediately swept through all her nerves. However, even though her mind was in a daze, Zuo Yue did not forget to hug him tightly and not let go, lest he suddenly let go of her. As the two of them kissed, Xu Chengfeng was about to stop and let go of her, but Zuo Yue held his face and did not let go. She tried her best to tiptoe to kiss him back. It was difficult to distinguish the kiss. It was just a teasing kiss, but it instantly spread into a continuous fire because of her active response. Xu Chengfeng, who was still on the edge of rationality, grabbed her wrist that was caressing his face and lowered his head to be infatuated with her. In the end, who was the one who moved his body first? Zuo Yue unknowingly leaned against the side of the bed. When her legs touched the edge of the bed, she suddenly fell onto the bed. Xu Chengfeng pressed down on her¡­ It was only when Zuo Yue felt that this long kiss was so ambiguous and infatuated that her heart was beating wildly that she suddenly remembered that day in the hotel. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand had reached into her clothes. She suddenly had an inexplicable anticipation, hoping that their relationship would change further¡­ What was he expecting? She closed her eyes and endured his deep kiss until Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand had indeed reached into the hem of her white shirt. It stopped at her waist and caressed the smooth and tender skin on her waist. Because of that unbelievably beautiful touch, too much desire rose. It was also because of this sudden violent desire that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand stopped at her waist and did not move. The body that was originally pressing on her gradually calmed down. From her lips to her cheek, he seemed to be comforting her, but also trying to calm himself down. Zuo Yue did not understand why he suddenly stopped. She opened her eyes and looked at him. His face was right above her. From a close distance, she could see that his face was much cleaner than ordinary men¡¯s. Other than the faint green stubble that grew naturally around his chin, this man¡¯s face was cleaner than a woman¡¯s skin. There were almost no pores. No wonder she felt that he was handsome and good-looking no matter how she looked at him. Even his skin was so good that it made ordinary women jealous. When did such a top-notch person appear in their Xu family? Moreover, he was a top-notch person who had been carried by the wrong person¡­ Zuo Yue looked at him blankly and realized that he was really not moving or kissing her anymore. He was just quietly pressing against her body, as if he was slowly calming his breathing. She tried to raise her arms and wrap them around his neck. The feeling of kissing Xu Chengfeng was too wonderful. She wanted to continue, but she was too embarrassed to say it. She could only instinctively reach out to hug him and try to seduce him. However, Xu Chengfeng frowned at her dishonest actions. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and looked at her as if he was warning her. He threatened her in a deep and hoarse voice,¡±Don¡¯t move!¡± Zuo Yue froze and did not dare to move. She could only stare at his restrained expression. She could clearly feel it¡­ The changes below him¡­ ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue blushed as she looked at him. This soft and coy call of ¡®little uncle¡¯, made Xu Cheng risk losing control. He simply put his hands on the bed on both sides of her body and directly propped his body up. He flipped over and sat up. He got up and got out of bed as if he wanted to escape. Seeing this, Zuo Yue quickly got up and grabbed his sleeve.¡±Uncle, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked back at her. The lust in his eyes had not faded, but his voice was calm.¡±Have you reviewed your homework today?¡± ¡°Yes, I have. I even reviewed a part of it.¡±Zuo Yue looked into his eyes as she spoke.¡±¡±Little¡­¡± ¡°Then rest early. I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll go back to the study first.¡±As he said that, he calmly waved her hand away and turned to leave. Zuo Yue froze for a moment. His eyes were clearly¡­ Probably understanding why he suddenly wanted to leave, Zuo Yue instinctively rushed forward and hugged him from behind before he left the door. The moment he froze, she hugged his waist tightly.¡±Uncle, don¡¯t go!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s entire body trembled. He stood stiffly in front of the door and did not move, but he looked in the direction of the bedroom door. His gaze was much darker than the darkness in the corridor outside.¡±Zuo Yue, you should take good care of yourself at this age. Don¡¯t do whatever you want. I¡¯m already walking towards you step by step, but you¡¯re still young. There are many things that can¡¯t be done in one step according to your feelings and desires. At least I can¡¯t hurt you. Be good. Let me go back to the study.¡± Zuo Yue hugged him tightly.¡± Uncle, since I like you and want to be with you, then everything between us can be smooth sailing. You don¡¯t have to hide. Besides, you clearly want me too¡­¡± Zuo Yue was indeed still a child. With one sentence, she made it clear why he wanted to leave. She also cleared the last layer of awkwardness and obstacles between the two of them with one sentence. Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and raised his hand to push her hands away from his chest. At the same time, he turned to look at her and said with a serious expression,¡±¡±You have never been in a relationship between us. Zuo Yue, the direction of life cannot be decided at the age of eighteen. When I was dragged into this abyss by you, I could give you all the love and tolerance unconditionally, including the feelings you wanted. But more than that, from the perspective of being a few years older than you, I have to protect you and not act recklessly.¡± Chapter 1018 - Chapter 1018: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-I Want Him (103) Chapter 1018: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-I Want Him (103) ¡°But I don¡¯t mind¡­¡± Zuo Yue hugged him tightly from behind.¡±¡±Uncle, I want to be with you, no matter what method, no matter what stage¡­The guild of the guild guild ¡°I mind!¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned and pulled her hand away.¡±¡±Calm down in the room first. I¡¯ll come to you later.¡± With that, he left the room. Zuo Yue stood where she was and did not force him anymore. However, she could clearly feel that he wanted her very much just now. He even endured it very badly. The reason why he was trying so hard to restrain himself was to protect her. To put it bluntly, he did not want his existence to affect her future. He could accompany her in a relationship that surpassed reality because of her willfulness and inability to control her feelings, but he did not want to do more. Was that what he meant? But if you love someone, you want that person very much. Zuo Yue was sure that she wanted him! Seeing that Xu Chengfeng had already left, Zuo Yue did not chase after him. Instead, she turned around and leaned against the door. She looked in the direction of the bed and saw the marks that the two of them had just left on the bed. She recalled how he was clearly on the verge of exploding when they were kissing on the bed. If not for the sudden change in rationality, the two of them would probably have already¡­ Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned red when she imagined a certain scene. Forget about chasing after him and saying that she wanted him, just thinking about it made her feel embarrassed. She raised her hand and closed the door. She turned around and leaned against the door, her heart thumping wildly. Why was she so bold every time she faced her uncle? If she and her uncle really did something in bed, would they never be separated from each other in the future? However, even though she was blushing, she was still looking forward to it. She was even looking forward to her uncle¡¯s performance in bed. She was even looking forward to the way he doted on her in bed¡­ Ahhhhhh Zuo Yue, what are you thinking about! She raised her hands to cover her burning face and rushed back to the bed. She threw herself on the bed and pulled up a pillow to press her head down. However, she could not help but giggle. From time to time, shy giggles could be heard from under the pillow. In the end, Zuo Yue suddenly sat up on the bed and turned to look at the bedroom door. She took a deep breath and her gaze was firm. No matter what, she had to pounce on her uncle and sleep with him! What future, what rationality, none of that mattered! She was now a woman in a relationship! She didn¡¯t want to be rational! She only wanted him! Anyway, they already loved each other. Why would they be afraid of taking it one step further? ***** So from that day onwards, Zuo Yue no longer wore such conservative pajamas every day. Instead, she specially bought a few semi-sexy clothes. When she came back in her semi-pure casual clothes and pajamas, she would wear those clothes that would arouse people¡¯s imagination and hang around in front of Xu Chengfeng. Or she would find his shirt to wear without his permission, and this time, she was really not wearing anything underneath. She was completely naked. When she was eating, when she was watching TV or reading a book, or when she squatted down to pick up something, her chest and lower body would faintly show some light. Every time this happened, Xu Chengfeng wanted to scold her and tell her to go back to the bedroom to change. But every time, Zuo Yue would say innocently,¡±¡±The floor heating at home is so hot. It¡¯s too uncomfortable to wear too much and sweat.¡± He clearly knew that this girl was deliberately flirting with him. He also knew that since she dared to say that she liked him first, she would definitely dare to do more. Xu Chengfeng could not be bothered with her anymore. He had gotten used to this girl deliberately seducing him from time to time. Even if he ended the day with a cold shower for half an hour, he was still unmoved. Other than giving her a gentle kiss, a hug, or being nice to her, everything else was more like the ambiguity and closeness between lovers. He avoided it little by little. Zuo Yue still refused to give up! She began to change her plan! For example, when Xu Chengfeng was showering, she deliberately took away his clothes that he had left by the bed in the bedroom. However, it did not seem to work. From the next day onwards, Xu Chengfeng would directly bring his change of clothes into the bathroom. Thus, Zuo Yue changed his plan again. When he wasn¡¯t at home or in the bedroom, she would sneak into his room and rummage through the drawers for the keys. Finally, she found the keys to his bedroom and bathroom and took them away. That night, when Xu Chengfeng was taking a shower, she walked in with her change of clothes. When she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s perfect body standing under the water and the steam, she tried her best not to blush and say,¡±¡±The shower head in my bedroom is broken, so I came here to take a shower.¡± In the end, Xu Chengfeng could not take it anymore and chased her out. Then, he took off the towel and wrapped it around his body. He carried her out of the door as if she was a little chick. When he turned around to take a shower, he realized that she had come in again! ¡°When did you take the key to my bedroom?¡±Xu Chengfeng asked helplessly as he held his forehead. Zuo Yue said innocently,¡±Ah, I just went into your bedroom that day and casually looked around.¡±¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, I don¡¯t want to be angry, and I don¡¯t want to fall out with you. You should stop when you can and don¡¯t cross my bottom line again.¡±Xu Chengfeng warned, but he could not get cold at all. Zuo Yue still had an innocent look on her face.¡± But I can¡¯t take a bath in my room now. What should I do?¡± I feel uncomfortable all over if I don¡¯t take a shower for a day.¡± ¡°.. Wasn¡¯t there a spare bathroom in the hall?¡± ¡°I like your bathroom! It was big and spacious enough. There was also a marble counter there, so it was convenient to do anything!¡± ¡°..¡± In the end, Zuo Yue was mercilessly chased out of the house. The next day, Xu Chengfeng confiscated the keys from her hands. He was afraid that she had secretly made a backup key, so he changed the lock of the room. That night, he watched her eat while he planned to talk to her about the reason why their relationship could not progress too much for the time being. However, Zuo Yue did not listen to anything. She deliberately smacked her lips to annoy him when she was eating, and she deliberately spat when she was drinking soup to stop him from talking. The veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed.¡± If you continue like this, I¡¯m going to move out. Do you want to live here alone?¡±¡± Finally, Zuo Yue could no longer ignore his words. However, Zuo Yue put down the bowl of soup in her hand and looked up at him.¡±¡±Then I¡¯ll tell my mom that you don¡¯t want to care about me anymore! And the reason you don¡¯t want to care about me is because you have feelings for me that you shouldn¡¯t have!¡± Xu Chengfeng immediately put down the cutlery in his hand with a smack. His eyes were filled with warning.¡±You can go and say that I have no intention of running away. I can bear the consequences and everything.¡± Seeing that she could not threaten him, Zuo Yue said unwillingly,¡±¡±Are you sure you don¡¯t want me?¡± Chapter 1019 - Chapter 1019: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Going Back Early (104) Chapter 1019: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Going Back Early (104) Seeing that she could not threaten him, Zuo Yue said unwillingly,¡±¡±Are you sure you don¡¯t want me?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows paused and he said softly,¡±¡±You are still too young.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± If you really think I¡¯m still young, then don¡¯t hide from me if you have the ability.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± Stop fooling around. You have to go back to school for your exams in a few days. I¡¯ll send you back to the Zuo family first when you¡¯re on winter vacation.¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going back. I have to be with my loved ones during winter vacation. My parents are usually busy, and my grandfather is not very good to me. I¡¯ll be bored to death in the Zuo family during the two months of winter vacation, and I¡¯ll miss them so much that I¡¯ll fall ill.¡±Zuo Yue said as she looked at him sincerely,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t you take me on a vacation?¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡± You should take advantage of the two months of winter vacation to recuperate in the Zuo family. After all, gunshot wounds hurt internal organs, not ordinary external injuries. You should rest more inside and outside.¡± Also, I¡¯ll be going to Russia and China for about a month. I¡¯ll be busy, so it¡¯s not suitable for me to bring you along.¡± When Zuo Yue heard that, she lowered her head and continued eating with a disappointed expression. However, she suddenly raised her head and said,¡±¡±You¡¯re going to China?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Nothing, I just suddenly thought of my brother.¡±Zuo Yue held her chin with one hand.¡±¡± My brother hasn¡¯t been back for five years. Even though he occasionally went back to Los Angeles because of his company, he never stepped into the Zuo family. My grandfather went too far back then. Not only did he force my brother to marry the granddaughter of Cheng Family, but he also did many things, including my brother¡¯s career, relationship, and past. Anyway, my brother was so good-tempered. In the end, he was so angry that he didn¡¯t go home for five years. I suddenly miss my brother¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and snorted.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng is indeed incompetent as a brother, so you don¡¯t have to use the excuse that he¡¯s in China to ask me to bring you to China.¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡±¡±Can¡¯t you be less sensitive? I only mentioned my brother.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go to City A. Your brother¡¯s company is in City A in China, and I¡¯m going to another city. We don¡¯t have a close relationship. Don¡¯t expect me to bring you there.¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say a word, but she began to calculate in her heart. Russia seemed to be a little dangerous. To him, it might be a burden if he went with her, but to China, it was obviously just for business dealings. It would be a pity if he didn¡¯t let her go with him. Was they really going to be separated for two months during the winter break? She had not really gotten this man yet. What if after the winter vacation, because of the long separation, his feelings for her had faded, or he had thought it through and did not want to indulge her anymore? What if he did not want to be together anymore? Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes darting around, Xu Chengfeng knew that she must be up to something again. He warned her directly,¡±¡±No matter what, you have to go back and recuperate during the winter vacation. There¡¯s no room for discussion, understand?¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. ***** In school, the busy revision period had ended. There were still three days before the exams. Zuo Yue had no choice but to return to school to take a break. Three days before the exams, she went back to review some of the necessary courses for this semester. Otherwise, if she did not pass the final exam, not only would Xu Chengfeng blame himself for causing her to get injured and delay her studies, even her mother would not be able to deal with it. Even when she returned to school, Zuo Yue felt a headache when she saw the revision materials. She had no choice but to study hard. ¡°Hasn¡¯t Brother Ruisheng contacted you recently?¡±Julie suddenly sat beside Zuo Yue and asked when she was studying hard. Zuo Yue held her chin in one hand and a pen in the other. She turned to look at Julie.¡±I haven¡¯t contacted you recently. What¡¯s wrong?¡± At the mention of Yin Ruisheng, Zuo Yue still felt a little uncomfortable and guilty. After all, she had let him down too much in the hotel last time. She had let others down and made others worry about her. ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s just that Brother Ruisheng has left the United States. Don¡¯t you know about this?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hand that was holding the pen paused immediately. She looked at Julie with a surprised expression.¡±Leave America? What did he mean? Didn¡¯t he just come to America for a year and was still in the school next door?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you already know that Brother Ruisheng and Blondie were arranged by the Korean entertainment company to study here? Their academic progress was already faster than ordinary students because they were still trainees who had to go back to Korea for training. Due to his outstanding image, although Ruisheng had not acted in any dramas recently, he had taken on an advertisement a few months ago and had recently started broadcasting on various major websites. It was not easy to survive in the entertainment industry now, but Ruisheng¡¯s image was too good and he looked too positive. Just one advertisement had inexplicably made him popular. That was why he was called back to Korea. He probably ended his trainee career early and began to develop step by step into a big star!¡± As Julie spoke, she held her hands in excitement and anticipation.¡±In the future, we¡¯ll be friends with a famous Korean celebrity. When Brother Ruisheng shoots a TV series in the future, if he comes to America to film, will he let us be extras or something?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes at her. She lowered her head and continued to revise. However, her hand stopped on the book and she could not write anything. The words that Yin Ruisheng had said to her on the phone that day echoed in her ears. He was angry because of her irrationality. He said that he would not look for her for the time being. He said that he would not interfere in her life until she figured it out. She thought that he was just angry for a moment, but she did not expect him to leave. The apology gradually turned into a sigh. She felt that she might never be able to see Yin Ruisheng again in this life. She might not even be able to say a word of apology in person. ¡°Zuo Yue, Big Brother Rui Sheng likes you so much. It¡¯s impossible that he didn¡¯t tell you before he left, right?¡±Julie asked curiously. ¡°No, there was a misunderstanding between Brother Ruisheng and me. He didn¡¯t tell me when he left, but maybe when he returns to Korea and has some free time, he will tell me.¡±Zuo Yue smiled at Julie and explained in a small way. Julie shrugged her shoulders and continued to sit beside her. Suddenly, she threw a meaningful look at Zuo Yue. When Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows and knew that she was up to no good, she chuckled and asked,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, tell me the truth. That uncle of yours, that super super handsome uncle, his surname is Xu, right? Did he really have a girlfriend? They haven¡¯t broken up yet? Does he mind if I pursue him?¡± Chapter 1020 - Chapter 1020: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kiss and Leave (105) Chapter 1020: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kiss and Leave (105) ¡°He will mind, and so will his girlfriend.¡±Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at Julie and pushed her away with her arm.¡±¡±Go away. I have to revise. Don¡¯t pester me about men on my first day back at school, okay?¡± Julie pursed her lips.¡± I¡¯m just curious. Your uncle is really manly. He doesn¡¯t talk much, and he doesn¡¯t look serious when he smiles. However, he always makes people want to pounce on him! Every time I see him, my young girl heart, which has fought countless young men, will overflow!¡± Zuo Yue held her chin with one hand and rolled her eyes at her.¡±¡±Give up. My uncle and his girlfriend are in love.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not married anyway. It¡¯s not a problem to snatch her away, right?¡±Julie said with a smile. Zuo Yue continued to roll her eyes at her.¡± You¡¯re wrong. Go away. Don¡¯t affect my revision!¡±¡± ¡°Aiya, I¡¯m just saying. When is your uncle¡¯s birthday? What constellation? How old are you this year? She didn¡¯t look like she was thirty yet, right? What kind of woman did he like? What did he like to eat? What color does he like? Also, he¡­¡± Zuo Yue immediately picked up her book and turned around to leave the study room as if she was escaping. She ran straight to the quiet school library. ¡°Hey, Zuo Yue! Don¡¯t be so stingy! I like your uncle, not your boyfriend. Why are you running away?¡± ¡°Do you really not want me to be your aunt? If I become your aunt, I¡¯ll definitely treat you super well!¡± ¡°Hey, wait for me¡­¡± ***** It was still early when Zuo Yue left school. It was only four in the afternoon. She glanced at the time and knew that her uncle should still be in a meeting at the technology company. He would go to China in a few days, and they could only be together for a few days. She really did not want to be separated from him for too long. Therefore, she took a taxi to his company. In the car, she had been muttering in her heart. Which month is Uncle¡¯s birthday? She had some impression of it, but she couldn¡¯t remember it clearly. Of course he didn¡¯t know what horoscope it was! She only knew that he was nine years older than her! What did he like to eat? What color did he like? She couldn¡¯t answer the questions that Julie asked her because she realized that she didn¡¯t know either! He didn¡¯t know anything! She even kept saying that she liked and loved her uncle every day. In the end, she had never tried to understand these basic things. On the other hand, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have figured out her temper and knew her usual preferences. He would even make some of her favorite food for breakfast and occasionally when he cooked. However, she said that she loved him, but she did not do as much as she did. She thought about it all the way. When she arrived at the company, she found out that her uncle had just finished a meeting but had not returned to the office. His secretary recognized her now and knew that she was CEO Xu¡¯s niece, so she let her wait in the CEO¡¯s office. When Zuo Yue entered the office, Xu Chengfeng had not returned yet. She was in the office, touching this and looking at that. Nothing was disturbed, but she felt especially intimate and curious about everything related to her uncle. The office seemed to have undergone some renovations during this period of time. The style had become more and more simple and clean. Although it was probably not as good as his office in the headquarters of the Korean Group in Russia, at least it had a unique style that belonged to him. Zuo Yuegang walked to the desk and picked up the fountain pen that Xu Chengfeng usually used to sign. She realized that the brand of the fountain pen was similar to the one that her brother used to use. She thought about how her uncle¡¯s personality was quite similar to her brother Zuo Hancheng in some aspects. They actually had similar habits in these commonly used brands. Charming men had some things in common, didn¡¯t they? After playing with the fountain pen in her hand for a while, she suddenly heard footsteps outside. At the same time, she heard the secretary talking, followed by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s indifferent response. When Zuo Yue heard that, she quickly turned around and dashed to the office door to hide until the office door in front of her was pushed open from the outside. Xu Chengfeng held the meeting documents in one hand and took out his phone with the other hand. He was about to make a call. Taking advantage of the fact that no one else followed him in, she suddenly pounced on him. When Xu Chengfeng turned around and saw her, she had already successfully pounced on him. She even made him take two steps back. Finally, he steadied himself and raised his hand to hold her waist. ¡°Are you scared? You didn¡¯t expect me to come here. You¡¯re shocked, right?¡±Zuo Yue was smiling and acting coquettishly in his arms. Xu Chengfeng sighed and laughed.¡± If I didn¡¯t know that you were in my office, do you think I would let you pounce on me with your little tricks and skills?¡±¡± Zuo Yue recalled Xu Chengfeng¡¯s vigilant gaze and the gentle expression that flashed in his eyes. She blushed and smiled, but she still stuck herself in his arms like a spoiled child. She wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to let go.¡±Uncle, can you not be so calm? I specially came back from school to see you. I wanted to go home with you and give you a surprise¡­¡± As she spoke, she placed a hand on his chest and drew a small circle.¡±Just be a little more enthusiastic¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled and grabbed her little hand that was lying on his chest.¡±¡±Stop fooling around. This isn¡¯t a place you should come to. Moreover, I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t wish to see the person who will come here later. Be good and wait for me in the lounge next door.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see it? Who is it?¡± Zuo Yue looked outside curiously. Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and turned her little head around. He held her chin and looked at her deliberately mischievous and disapproving look in front of him. He seemed helpless and indulgent as he said softly,¡±Wait for me in the lounge first. Be good, okay?¡± Under his deep voice, the last word made Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body melt in his arms. She was afraid that she would really disturb him, so she could only withdraw from his arms. However, she still wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of him. She raised her head and pointed at her mouth.¡±Then kiss me and I¡¯ll leave!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome eyebrows moved. The moment Zuo Yue finished speaking, he immediately grabbed her waist and pulled her back into his embrace. He bent down and kissed her on the lips. Zuo Yue instinctively raised her hand to wrap around his neck. Every time Xu Chengfeng kissed her, he would inevitably lose control. This was the office. He gently moved his soft body out of his embrace and was about to let her quickly go to the rest room. Zuo Yue, however, continued to pester him on the lips. Just as the two of them were kissing passionately behind the office door, Zuo Yue seemed to hear footsteps approaching from outside. She opened her eyes slightly and looked out through the window in front of the office door. She was surprised to see Xu Yuan¡¯s figure appear. Chapter 1021 - Chapter 1021: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Dont Cause Trouble Trouble (106) Chapter 1021: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Don¡¯t Cause Trouble Trouble (106) Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and buried it in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms, afraid that Xu Yuan, who had just appeared outside the window, would recognize her. Xu Chengfeng seemed to understand something because of her sudden action. He raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her head to comfort her. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who was lying in his arms and did not dare to move.¡±Now you know fear?¡± Zuo Yue was so nervous that her hands were tightly gripping his suit.¡±My mother! It¡¯s my mom! Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier!¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed softly. He did not turn around to look outside. He directly hugged Zuo Yue, who did not dare to show her head, and walked inside. Xu Yuan had only just walked over from the window. Before she could get a clear look, she could only see Xu Chengfeng hugging the girl who seemed to be kissing him ambiguously as they walked in. Thanks to the thick winter coat, even her biological mother might not be able to recognize Zuo Yue¡¯s figure from such thick clothes. Moreover, Xu Yuan saw the girl kissing Xu Chengfeng just now, so she did not think in that direction at all. She only saw the two of them walking in. It was probably because they saw someone appear outside and felt awkward, so Xu Yuan turned around outside the door and did not look in again. She just walked to the direction of the door and waited for a while. About two minutes later, Xu Yuan raised her hand and knocked on the office door.¡±Chengfeng, can I go in now?¡± Zuo Yue, who was in a panic in the office, heard Xu Yuan¡¯s voice and instantly exploded. She turned around and ran to the small window beside the French window, trying to open it. Xu Chengfeng grabbed her and pulled her back. He scolded her fiercely,¡±¡±Are you crazy? Don¡¯t you know which floor we are on?¡± ¡°What should I do? My mom is here! I would rather die than let her see me! My mom will have a heart attack!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red with anxiety. She was like an ant on a hot pan, spinning on the spot. Xu Chengfeng sighed. This newly acquired technology company was not a big luxury group. Even if there was a lounge next to the CEO¡¯s office, there was no way to walk directly from the office. They could only walk around the corridor outside the office. Now that Xu Yuan was outside the door, Zuo Yue indeed had nowhere to hide. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Xu Chengfeng, who had been rationally rejecting her because she had taken the initiative in this relationship, was not as flustered as she was. Instead, he was calm as if nothing had happened. Zuo Yue was so anxious that she was about to explode. When she heard the knock on the door, she took a step back sensitively. Xu Chengfeng also knew that now was not the time to let Xu Yuan know, but when he saw Zuo Yue¡¯s frightened look, he sighed and pointed under the desk.¡±Since you want to hide, then this old place is the only place.¡± When Zuo Yue heard that, she immediately remembered that she had been hiding under his desk the last time. However, her mother had already seen her from outside just now. She did not know if she had recognized her or not. Wouldn¡¯t it be unnecessary for her to hide in there now? But was she going to face her mother directly like this? Let her mother know that her daughter and her biological brother were in love? Zuo Yue¡¯s palms were covered in sweat. After thinking for half a minute, she decided to go all out and crawl under the desk. After sitting down, she let out a long sigh. However, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She did not understand why her mother suddenly came to Boston at this time. She did not even inform her in advance. However, it was obvious that Xu Chengfeng already knew about it beforehand. Zuo Yue, who was under the desk, heard Xu Chengfeng taking a few steps slowly beside the desk, as if he was observing the situation on her side. Zuo Yue did not even dare to breathe loudly. She curled up under the desk and did not move. The person beside the desk was silent for a moment before she heard his footsteps coming to the door. When the office door was opened, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chengfeng with a smile and then looked around curiously.¡±¡±Where¡¯s your girlfriend?¡± ¡°Are you here to talk about the Xu family or my relationship?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. If it¡¯s the former, we can go out and find a resting room to talk about the information provided by the hospital. If it¡¯s the latter, I¡¯m not a child, so there¡¯s no need for sister to worry about it.¡± Xu Yuan laughed.¡± Look at you. You make it sound like I¡¯m going to meet my daughter-in-law. I¡¯m your sister, not someone else. You¡¯re not young anymore. Since you have a girlfriend, if you think she¡¯s suitable, you should bring her home as soon as possible to let Dad take a look. You know that his life is already on the countdown. If he can see his daughter-in-law¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear her. He turned around and walked back to his desk. He picked up a stack of hospital documents on the table and was about to walk out with Xu Yuan when he realized that Xu Yuan had already entered the office. However, Xu Yuan did not see the girl who had just kissed him inside. She immediately looked around in surprise.¡±The office of your small company isn¡¯t big, and there¡¯s no door beside it. Where did that girl go? I thought I could see it after I came in.¡± Zuo Yue curled up under the desk and held her breath. She was about to break down. Bless her, please don¡¯t let her mother find her. Xu Yuan smiled and looked inside. Her eyes immediately looked in the direction of the desk. As if she had thought of something, she suddenly smiled again.¡±Don¡¯t tell me he hid under there?¡± As she spoke, Xu Yuan took two steps forward. Even though she did not really walk to the desk and demand to meet him, Xu Chengfeng instinctively walked in front of her with the documents in his hand and blocked her way. At the same time, he said calmly,¡±I don¡¯t want too many people to get involved in my relationship problems and private life. The information from the hospital back then is all here. This is also what you specially came here to investigate today.¡± Xu Yuan looked at him helplessly. She took the stack of documents and flipped through them. She sighed and said,¡±I¡¯m not forcing you to meet her. It¡¯s just that Chengfeng, you¡¯ll be turning 30 in a few years. Bring your girlfriend back early and let Dad take a look. At least Dad can close his eyes in the end and feel better.¡± ¡°If I could let him sleep in peace just by bringing a girlfriend back, why would he ask you to investigate the matter of me being carried away wrongly in the hospital back then? He still hasn¡¯t forgotten what happened twenty years ago and is still clinging to the so-called truth. Why would he care if I have a girlfriend or not?¡±Xu Chengfeng said with a faint smile. At the same time, he looked in the direction of the office door.¡±Let¡¯s talk outside.¡± Xu Yuan glanced at him and then looked in the direction of the desk. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.¡±I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong either. Logically speaking, I shouldn¡¯t have gone overboard and asked to meet her. However, just now, I inexplicably felt that that girl was a little familiar¡­Although it was just a quick glance, she seems to be¡­¡± Chapter 1022 - Chapter 1022: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Suspicion (107) Chapter 1022: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Suspicion (107) ¡°Like what?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked coldly. Seeing Xu Chengfeng¡¯s indifferent attitude, Xu Yuan knew that he never liked others to get too involved in his private affairs. But that figure just now¡­ Xu Yuan thought for a moment and did not say anything else. She took the stack of documents and turned to leave. However, just as she was about to leave the office, she suddenly picked up her phone and looked for the number while saying,¡±I rushed over today and had to fly back to Los Angeles in the middle of the night. I don¡¯t know if Zuo Yue is out of school now. At least we should have dinner together before leaving. Last time, she was so seriously ill, but that brat didn¡¯t even call me. I have to teach her a lesson when I call her out for dinner.¡± Just as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zuo Yue remembered her phone. She hurriedly took out her phone from her bag, but it was too late. Her phone rang instantly. When she saw that it was her mother¡¯s phone number on the screen, Zuo Yue felt a chill down her spine. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She even forgot to hang up and just stared at the phone screen blankly. Xu Yuan¡¯s entire body trembled when she heard Zuo Yue¡¯s ringtone. She turned her eyes to the direction behind her and looked at the place where the ringtone had sounded. Her gaze was fixed in the direction of the office desk. Then, she gradually turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, her eyes filled with shock and loneliness. Zuo Yue lowered her head in frustration under her desk. She hated herself for not turning her phone to silent earlier. She bit her lip tightly and was suddenly extremely afraid. However, Xu Chengfeng was standing at the side of the desk. His expression was calm and indifferent as if nothing had happened. He turned around and walked slowly to the desk. He casually opened the drawer and took the opportunity when Xu Yuan could not see the scene behind his desk to easily pick up the phone in Zuo Yue¡¯s hand. At the same time, he closed the drawer and raised the phone. He said expressionlessly,¡±You really should discipline your daughter¡¯s habit of forgetting things. When that girl came to my office last night and waited for me to bring her to dinner, she left her phone in my office. Just in time, when you see her tonight, pass it to her for me. I still have something to do tonight, so I might not be able to attend the dinner between you and your daughter.¡± The stiffness in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes gradually eased as she walked toward him. However, Xu Yuan¡¯s footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Zuo Yue¡¯s figure, which was hiding under the desk, became stiffer and stiffer. When Xu Yuan walked to the office desk, she still looked at the wide desk with a lonely and suspicious gaze. However, Zuo Yue usually had the habit of losing things carelessly. She would often be so careless that she would lose her phone or forget it somewhere. This kind of explanation was indeed the most perfect and most suitable for Zuo Yue¡¯s personality. However, after Xu Yuan took the phone, she glanced at the missed calls on it and then looked at the indifference and impatience in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes.¡± I heard that Zuo Yue has been hospitalized for a period of time after she got pneumonias. I haven¡¯t had time to call her recently. That girl, she¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m only responsible for taking care of her, ensuring that she¡¯s not sick and that her studies aren¡¯t delayed too much. This is my responsibility. As for the rest, you should ask her yourself and not ask too many questions here.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude was still so indifferent that no one could tell his emotions.¡± I¡¯m her uncle, not her father. There¡¯s no need to focus all your attention on a little girl.¡± Hearing this, Xu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. The thought that had suddenly popped up in her mind had scared her so much that she was about to go crazy. Now that she saw that Xu Chengfeng was still ignoring Zuo Yue, she sighed and laughed.¡± Forget it. I know how childish Zuo Yue¡¯s personality is usually. I also know that you like mature and sensible girls. It was indeed a little overboard of me to force her to be by your side. However, in the end, I only wanted to use that child to let you feel the existence of family. I wanted you to try to accept the Xu family and accept us¡­¡± ¡°Whether you accept it or not, wait until you investigate the information about me being born in the hospital more than 20 years ago and being mistaken. Isn¡¯t the old man angry and wants to investigate whether I¡¯m his biological son? It¡¯s still too early to talk about kinship. Investigate it clearly. I¡¯m happy to accompany you.¡±Xu Chengfeng said coldly. Xu Yuan sighed.¡± Dad wants to hand over all the assets of the Xu Corporation to you, but a few directors of the Xu Corporation have doubts about your background. After discussing it with Dad, we decided to investigate what happened to you in the hospital back then. Finally, we will produce strong evidence to convince them. Only then can the Xu family¡¯s assets be transferred to you smoothly.¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled noncommittally.¡± It seems that the KP Group can¡¯t swallow such a big financial group like the Xu Corporation. It¡¯s much better for the two to co-exist than to swallow each other.¡±¡± ¡± Chengfeng, although Zuo Yue and I are from the Xu family, we are still married into the Zuo family. Zuo Yue¡¯s surname is also Zuo. In the future, a part of the Zuo family will belong to her. Everything in the Xu family can only belong to you. Don¡¯t expect me to go back and share this cup of Geng. One Zuo family is already enough to make your brother-in-law and I anxious. We are getting old, and Hancheng won¡¯t come back to take over the Zuo family. Can you stop making things difficult for me?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything and looked at her indifferently. It was obvious from his eyes that he did not intend to continue talking about this matter. Xu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything more, but her eyes suddenly looked in the direction of the desk.¡±¡±Doesn¡¯t your girlfriend feel uncomfortable hiding there? No matter how convenient it was to hide under the desk, it wouldn¡¯t be comfortable for so long, right? I¡¯m not a scary person, and I¡¯m not going to be her future mother-in-law. Why am I hiding?¡± As she spoke, she gripped the phone in her hand tightly. Although she had already abandoned that terrifying thought, she still wanted to see it clearly. She needed to confirm that the girl was not who she thought she was. When Zuo Yue heard her mother¡¯s words, her body that was curled up under the desk stiffened. She quickly lowered her head and buried her head in her knees. The only person who could save her now was her uncle¡­ However, if her mother really suspected something and continued to ask to see her, it would only arouse her mother¡¯s suspicion if her uncle continued to stop her. What should he do? ¡°I believe that the girl that Chengfeng likes will definitely be very outstanding. Besides, Chengfeng is not married and there is nothing much going on between them. Since they are just dating openly, even if Sister saw them being intimate, there is no need to be so scared.¡±Xu Yuan smiled and said,¡± Don¡¯t hide anymore. Do you want to have dinner together tonight? I have a daughter called Zuo Yue. She¡¯s a very interesting girl. Maybe you two can get along. If everything goes well, we¡¯ll be a family in the future. Come out and meet her.¡±¡± Chapter 1023 - Chapter 1023: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-Wheres Zuo Yue (108) Chapter 1023: Chengfeng Asks the Moon-Where¡¯s Zuo Yue (108) It was rare to find that the usually gentle Xu Yuan actually had an aggressive side to her. Xu Chengfeng could tell that she had begun to suspect his relationship with Zuo Yue because of the phone call just now. ¡°She¡¯s a little shy. Moreover, when you passed by just now, you saw the two of us being so intimate. She¡¯s not ready to meet my family yet. You might have to understand this more or less. If there¡¯s a chance in the future, I¡¯ll bring her back to see you.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude was calm, and no clues could be seen. However, Zuo Yue had been hiding under the desk for too long. She was in a hurry when she crawled down just now, so her posture was not very comfortable. Now, her calf was numb as if it was pricked by countless needles. It was painful and uncomfortable. She carefully tried to move her leg, but her head suddenly hit the corner of a drawer under the desk. She immediately gasped in pain, but she did not dare to make too much movement. She quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, enduring the pain on her head and leg, not daring to move again. Although the sound of her breathing was very soft, Xu Yuan was too familiar with everything about her daughter. She even knew her daughter¡¯s breathing frequency when she was sleeping. At this moment, she took a step forward. Not only did she start to be aggressive, but her words were also a little forceful.¡± Since you¡¯re uncomfortable hiding down there, come out. No matter how embarrassed you are, as your sister, I have to see who my brother¡¯s girlfriend is. After all, the Xu family is not an ordinary family. Chengfeng is the head of the GN Group, and not every woman can be casually dated. Are you hiding like this?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart trembled when she heard that. Her mother had never spoken in such a tone. She had never been biased towards her brother and herself. Her mother had never considered the position of the Xu family or the Zuo family when it came to their future partners. But now, her mother actually used such a reason to force her to show up. After all, she was her biological daughter. Her mother was already starting to worry, right? Anyway, she had already come this far with her uncle. Could it be that they really could not be together in the future? If they wanted to be together in the future, they would have to face it sooner or later, right? In front of the desk, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand slightly to stop Xu Yuan¡¯s footsteps, warning her with his eyes not to mess around. Xu Yuan did not force herself to go over and take a look, but when she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude of not explaining much and the girl refusing to come out, she was extremely anxious and her expression was much uglier.¡±Chengfeng, who is she? It looked very familiar to me just now! I know her, right?¡± Hearing this, Zuo Yue took a deep breath and suddenly crawled out from under the desk. Just as she was about to stand up and reveal her head, she suddenly heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s scolding,¡±¡±Go back!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s movements froze. She stopped behind the desk and did not move. She thought about it and felt that now was really not the time. Moreover, if she came out now, her mother would probably not give her the chance to see her uncle in the future. She would have to live in the pain of being separated from him forever. She had no choice but to turn around and crawl back in. Anyway, she hadn¡¯t stood up when she came out just now, so her mother didn¡¯t see her. At most, she only saw the corner of her clothes. Xu Yuan looked in the direction of the office desk, then turned to look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold and impatient expression.¡±¡±Chengfeng, just now, I thought that your girlfriend might really be just shy, but in this situation, I really can¡¯t help but be curious about who she is. Why are you using such a method to prevent me from seeing her?¡± ¡°You seem to have always been such a forceful person. Why? Is my other half worth it for you to throw away your demeanor as the matriarch of the Zuo family just to see who my woman is? You can even forcefully barge into my office?¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.¡± Since I still call you sister, let¡¯s go to the waiting room to talk about the hospital information. Don¡¯t make things difficult for her.¡±¡± Xu Yuan looked at him and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she looked at the phone that belonged to Zuo Yue in her hand. She narrowed her eyes and said,¡±Where is Zuo Yue now?¡± ¡°How would I know? If she knew, I would have sent this phone to her long ago.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were still indifferent.¡± If she¡¯s not at school, she¡¯s already at the villa. My villa is very close to her school. If you¡¯re worried, you can go to the villa to look for her instead of asking me here.¡±¡± ¡°Are you sure she¡¯s not in your company now?¡±Xu Yuan suddenly went straight to the point. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment and suddenly snorted.¡±Do you think that my company allows a young lady who hasn¡¯t been weaned from milk to enter as she pleases?¡± Xu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief again because of his tone of disdain and rejection towards Zuo Yue. Previously, when they returned to the Xu family, she had felt that there seemed to be something between Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng. It seemed that their relationship had become much closer. Could it be that she was overthinking just now? With Xu Chengfeng¡¯s personality and Zuo Yue¡¯s usual willfulness and childishness, it was indeed impossible for them to coexist for too long. It was not surprising that Xu Chengfeng despised her like a child. Xu Yuan looked at the direction of the desk again, thinking that if this girl was really not Zuo Yue, she would probably scare the little girl if she continued to be so aggressive. It was not easy for her to find a woman beside Xu Chengfeng, who was as unapproachable as an iceberg. She could not scare this girl away because of her momentary suspicion and selfishness. After thinking about it, she finally turned around and walked away at the same time. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the lounge.¡± she said. Zuo Yue slowly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Xu Yuan open the office door. Xu Chengfeng did not stay for too long. Before he left the office, he only paused for a moment. Without turning back, he said to the person under the table,¡±¡±I¡¯m here for everything. When you need to face it, I¡¯ll be the one to face it first. There¡¯s no reason for you to suffer any harm.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything, but her silent reaction was a response. Xu Chengfeng did not force her and walked out of the office. After the office door was closed, Zuo Yue slowly bent her legs under the desk. She curled up her body and pressed her forehead against her knees. She did not move at all and hugged her legs tightly with both hands. Why did her mother appear at this time? Nothing had happened between her and Uncle. Would her appearance make Uncle more clear-headed? Also, what was the information that Mom had just told Uncle about? Was there any other reason why her uncle was carried away by the wrong person in the hospital? Chapter 1024 - Chapter 1024: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-DNA (109) Chapter 1024: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-DNA (109) After entering the lounge, Xu Yuan looked at the phone in her hand again. After thinking for a moment, she temporarily put it in her bag. Then, she walked inside and placed the stack of documents on the table in the lounge. When Xu Chengfeng walked in, Xu Yuan said softly,¡±¡±I just thought that the girl was so scared to hide when she saw me that it was very strange. That¡¯s why I wanted to know who she was, so I was a little paranoid.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s tone was calm and emotionless.¡±¡±However, I hope that you can understand one thing. Other than the problems related to the Xu family, there is no need for you to interfere in anything else related to me. You know my temper.¡± Xu Yuan chuckled and nodded with a sigh.¡±¡±I know. Forget it. With your indifferent personality, Zuo Yue has been by your side for a few months. It¡¯s really a miracle that she hasn¡¯t complained to me again.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have heard her double meaning and sat down on the sofa opposite her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t mention Zuo Yue in front of me. She¡¯s your daughter, not mine. I¡¯ve already given you the information. You can do whatever you want with it. I¡¯ll be going to China and Russia in a few days, and I might not be back in a month.¡± ¡°I know. If that girl isn¡¯t taken good care of, she¡¯ll have a wild personality. When you can¡¯t take care of her here, I¡¯ll definitely bring her back to Los Angeles.¡± Xu Yuan smiled as she opened the documents. Previously, she had only skimmed through them in a hurry. Now, after reading them carefully for a while, she said softly,¡±Ever since you returned to the Xu family to acknowledge your ancestors, have you been holding onto this information?¡± ¡°No, after you called, I temporarily transferred the information back from Russia. However, in recent years, I have been carefully reviewing the hospital matters from back then. I need to confirm whether my blood relationship with the Xu family is real or if there are other unimaginable things involved.¡± When Xu Yuan heard this, her eyes froze. She looked up at him and said,¡±¡±Chengfeng, what do you mean?¡± ¡°Do you think I look like the old man?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression did not change.¡± ¡± Although you don¡¯t look much alike, you¡¯re both equally stubborn. Besides, Dad has never doubted your background. Even when your relationship with Dad was so strained back then, he never doubted your blood relationship with him¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled but did not say anything.¡±¡±Since it¡¯s rare for you to take the initiative to investigate, then take it back for investigation. I¡¯ll provide you with another blood sample for you to re-verify the DNA. In addition, it¡¯s best to take Zuo Yue¡¯s DNA back for examination as well.¡± ¡°What do you mean by testing Zuo Yue¡¯s DNA?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes froze. Don¡¯t you think I know whether my daughter is my biological daughter or not?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. What I mean is, if I don¡¯t want to take over the Xu family¡¯s assets in the future, besides you and me, Zuo Yue will be able to take over the company¡¯s assets in a few years. If she is trained well, as long as she has a mature and steady personality, she will be able to control the overall situation. Since we need to verify her blood relationship this time, we should also verify Zuo Yue¡¯s blood relationship and confirm that she is indeed the granddaughter of the Xu family. This way, no matter what happens in the future, at least the Xu family¡¯s assets will not be transferred to outsiders. At least Zuo Yue can take over.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes were as sharp and suspicious as when she was in the office just now. She instantly turned the corner and nodded after calming down for a moment.¡± Alright, but Chengfeng, I still hope that you can go back and take over the company. You have managed to develop the CHF Group to such a large scale with your own strength. It is also one of the top financial groups in Russia. The Xu Corporation¡¯s management concept is similar to the CHF Group. If you can hand it over to your son, I can finally close my eyes in peace in the future.¡± ¡°For so long, as your elder sister, you have been rushing between Boston and Los Angeles every day for the Xu family and me. I can see your thoughts. You hope that the Xu family can be harmonious, but your Zuo family hasn¡¯t reached such a harmonious stage yet, so why bother with these matters of your maternal family?¡± Xu Yuan paused for a moment before sighing and laughing.¡± It seems like you¡¯ve heard about what happened in Han City. Han City¡¯s personality is similar to yours. Sigh¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at the information in her hands.¡±¡±Actually, if you didn¡¯t say that you wanted to investigate this time, I would have taken the time to investigate the truth of being mistaken. After all, my parents in Russia were killed in an explosion at the border when I was very young. I was used to being alone since I was young. When I was a teenager, the Xu family suddenly intervened in my life. Even now, after so many years, I still doubt my background. Both sides have Chinese parents. It¡¯s the same coincidence. Also, I had some doubts about the DNA test back then.¡± ¡°Chengfeng, why do I feel that you really don¡¯t want to be a child of the Xu family?¡±Xu Yuan smiled helplessly. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were silent. After a moment, he said,¡±¡±I never truly accepted this identity before, and now, I don¡¯t want to accept it even more.¡± Xu Yuan did not understand the meaning behind his words and only nodded.¡±¡±Forget it. Since we want to investigate, we¡¯ll investigate carefully. The medical staff in Los Angeles hospital more than 20 years ago are basically gone. They¡¯re all over the world. Some things are really difficult to investigate, but now that Dad has spoken, since you have the intention, I¡¯ll investigate.¡± ¡°Including Zuo Yue.¡± ¡°..¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± ***** Before returning to the office, Xu Chengfeng sent Xu Yuan off. Xu Yuan would probably go to Zuo Yue after leaving the company. Zuo Yue was usually unpredictable. Even if Xu Yuan did not find her at the villa, she would not be suspicious. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s sudden action of wanting to crawl out from under the table had caused Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart to be filled with a fire. He had always reminded himself that he should wake up from this ill-fated relationship before he made a big mistake. It was not that he did not deliberately avoid it, but after he woke up, he became even more immersed. He had never planned for her to face it in such a brave way. He should be the one to face it, and he should be the one to bear it. He pushed open the office door and walked in. He thought that Zuo Yue was sitting in the office waiting for him, but when he returned to the office, he found that there was no one inside. When he walked to the desk, he realized that she was no longer hiding under it. This office was not big, and there was no other place to hide a person. Xu Chengfeng frowned, turned around, and walked out quickly. Chapter 1025 - Chapter 1025: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-This is the Second Time (110) Chapter 1025: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-This is the Second Time (110) ¡°President Xu.¡± Xu Chengfeng rushed to the first floor of the company, but he still did not see Zuo Yue. When he turned around to look at the staff at the front desk, the staff nodded respectfully at him and walked forward to wait for instructions. ¡°Have you seen the girl who often comes to look for me?¡± ¡°Are you talking about Miss Zuo? She just went out. When she went out, she didn¡¯t look too good. We were also worried that Miss Zuo was unhappy about something.¡± When Xu Chengfeng heard this, he frowned and said calmly,¡±¡±Which direction?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. The square opposite the company is outside. We didn¡¯t go out, so we didn¡¯t notice it.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything else. He turned around and strode out of the company¡¯s main entrance. It was December in Boston. The sky was filled with snowflakes as they walked towards the square in front of them. There were only a few pedestrians passing by. Zuo Yue did not walk far. She did not bring her phone with her. She was only wearing the light-colored cashmere coat that she came from. She sat quietly by the marble altar opposite the square. She did not move at all. No one knew what she was thinking. Xu Yuan was not nearby. Xu Chengfeng slowly walked down the steps in front of the square and looked in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. He walked towards her step by step. An English song was playing in front of a shop across the square. Zuo Yue was engrossed in listening to it, and her mind was in a mess because of the lyrics. If her mother hadn¡¯t suddenly appeared and almost found out, she wouldn¡¯t have thought so much. Things that she had never thought about before, and even things that she didn¡¯t plan to think about now, all invaded her mind in that moment. A man like Xu Chengfeng would rarely lie to others, right? It was rare to be caught off guard like this, right? He had hidden it from her mother because of her. He had lied because of her. Even though he looked calm as if nothing had happened, even though he had everything under control, even though his mother had completely dispelled her doubts in the end. However, Zuo Yue felt really guilty. This was just the beginning. She had just poked through a layer of window paper when her mother almost realized that what she had always wanted was more¡­She finally understood why he had always been so affectionate and polite. Firstly, it was to protect her, and secondly¡­He was giving them a chance to retreat, but he didn¡¯t want to send her to a dead end. However, the more clear-headed he was, the more Zuo Yue¡¯s heart ached. The snow that filled the sky fell on her face. Zuo Yue took a deep breath and lifted her hand to brush away the snow on her slightly cold face. Although it had melted by the side of her fingers, she still casually wiped it away. However, from afar, it looked like she was wiping away tears. It was only when she felt as if two pairs of eyes were watching her that Zuo Yue paused and turned her eyes abruptly. She suddenly saw Xu Chengfeng standing a few meters away from her. There was a narrow zebra crossing between the side of the square where he was standing and her side. The crowd passed by and looked at each other. Xu Chengfeng did not walk over immediately, but his gaze remained on her, as if he had already seen all her emotions at that moment. The man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He looked like a high-class elite in society. His handsome face, clean black hair, tall figure, perfect temperament, and calm aura were everything that belonged to this man named Xu Chengfeng. Zuo Yue looked at him. She did not get up to avoid him, nor did she get up to walk back. Instead, she sat there stiffly. It was not until the crowd on the zebra crossing passed by that the street lamps on both sides changed. Xu Chengfeng slowly walked over until he was in front of her step by step. The exquisite Italian handmade leather shoes stood in front of her. Zuo Yue lowered her gaze and stopped on his shoes and pants. In the end, she slowly raised her gaze. Because she was sitting a little short, she could only look up at the man standing in the snow in front of her. ¡°Uncle.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him hesitantly, but after calling out to him, she suddenly did not know how to continue. She could only purse her lips and look at him. ¡°It¡¯s snowing.¡± Xu Chengfeng said. ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue lowered her eyes. ¡°The weather is very cold. It¡¯s suitable for waking up.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, are you awake?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was very soft.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She clasped her hands tightly together.¡±You¡¯ve been unwilling to cross the line just to prepare for this day?¡± Xu Chengfu did not answer and only looked at her.¡±¡±I am responsible for your life, responsible for your future. Even if there was a moment when I fell for it and almost lost control, Zuo Yue, you are still too young. I cannot ruin your life because I lost control for a moment.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that. You just have to tell me that you¡¯ve been using this method to compromise all this time. Then, you waited for me to slowly come to terms with it and let go, right?¡±Zuo Yue looked at him with red eyes.¡± You just have to tell me the answer. I don¡¯t want to hear anything else. I don¡¯t need comfort!¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at him calmly.¡±¡±I had this thought before, but it was indeed earlier than I imagined.¡± ¡°A little earlier¡­You can always be so calm, but now I can hear the regret in your words.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly chuckled.¡± You lied to my mother for me today. Uncle, how many times have you lied in your life?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment until Zuo Yue looked up at him again. He looked down at her and said softly,¡±¡±Twice.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. ¡°The first time was when I was young and got together with the Russian mafia. At that time, there was nothing. In order to survive, I had to give up my studies. I lied that I had to leave Russia because I had to reunite with the Xu family in the United States, so I successfully left school. However, I didn¡¯t return to the Xu family. Instead, I stepped into the Russian border and embarked on the dark road of life.¡± ¡± The second time,¡± Xu Chengfeng said softly,¡± was when I was in the office with your mother for a few minutes.¡± Zuo Yue immediately bit her lip. She could not stop her tears, but in the end, she forced them to stop. She turned her head, wanting to smile, but she could not laugh. She could not cry either. The first time he lied, it was because he wanted to choose the path of life. The second time he lied, it was because he wanted to protect her because of her willfulness. In the end, she was in the wrong position because she had been too proactive in this relationship that should not have existed. Zuo Yue¡¯s hands that were hidden in her coat sleeves gradually tightened.¡±¡±Uncle, if the matter between the two of us is really discovered one day, what will you do? You want me to hide like today? Are you going to face it alone? Or are there other options?¡± Chapter 1026 - Chapter 1026: Riding the Wind Asking the Moon, Desire, and Reason (111) Chapter 1026: Riding the Wind Asking the Moon, Desire, and Reason (111) ¡°As long as we don¡¯t go beyond the bottom line, no matter how we expose ourselves in front of the Zuo family, at least this will be a past that can be forgotten easily. It won¡¯t leave any traces on you that shouldn¡¯t be there. This is the only thing I can do to protect you.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s attitude was calm, but his calmness made Zuo Yue¡¯s heart burn with rage. She stood up abruptly. Xu Chengfeng reached out to help her up so that she wouldn¡¯t get hurt from standing up too quickly. After all, she had been shot before. However, Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed his hand away. ¡°What is love? Uncle, tell me! Xu Chengfeng, tell me! You¡¯re holding back every day and every step! You gave me hope while letting me see the despair of the future. Is this the protection you give me?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red. Didn¡¯t you want me? You know what the answer is in your heart!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, I don¡¯t want to quarrel with you. From the beginning to the end, I never intended to escape this responsibility. If you want, I will always be by your side, but I will not go beyond my limits.¡± ¡°What is the bottom line? Get in bed?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly asked loudly. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened. He frowned slightly because of her undisguised and mocking smile. He looked at her with a warning gaze.¡±Can you be more rational?¡± Zuo Yue smiled. Do you know what I will do once I come to my senses?¡± Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s current emotions, Xu Chengfeng reached out and was about to pull her into his arms when Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and pushed him away. At the same time, she took a step back. ¡°You want to quarrel with me?¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head.¡± The moment my mother appeared, I knew that the time I spent with you was like walking on thin ice. When you had no choice but to lie because of me, I suddenly felt that I was a sinner. In the past, perhaps I just thought that it was good to be with you. As long as we could fall in love, no matter what the outcome was, even if it was a grand start, even if the ending was not what I wanted, I was willing.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ve been holding back all this time for the sake of leaving me a way out. Shouldn¡¯t a relationship be unreserved? But you kept your reservations. I finally knew why I couldn¡¯t find a sense of security every day. It was because you used your rationality to slap my face and used the future you were thinking about to stop me from getting close to you.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s smile grew wider as she spoke, but her eyes were still red.¡±Are you coaxing me? What I want is love, not your perfunctory coaxing to calm me down! I don¡¯t want to drag you down! You lied for me!¡± ¡°But what exactly have I been holding in my hands for so many days? It¡¯s actually your reserved heart, your rationality hanging above your emotions.¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng, you¡¯ve asked me time and time again if I know what love is. Do I know what love is? Do you understand? Have you ever loved? Do you know how I feel right now? I desperately tried to persuade him to stay, but in the end, you used reality to slap me in the face! I did drag you into the abyss, but you didn¡¯t sink at all. You still have a way to save yourself. You used a trick to get me out! I actually believed it! I actually believed you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not trying to save myself. I¡¯ve been protecting you from the beginning to the end. Zuo Yue, I can¡¯t destroy you, understand?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were sharp and forbearing.¡± Liking is presumptuous. Only love is restraint!¡± I can¡¯t destroy you with my own hands.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes trembled when she heard the word ¡®love¡¯. Suddenly, she did not know what she was upset about. She lowered her eyes.¡± So, no matter what, you won¡¯t have any further relationship with me. Even kissing will only be twice a day. There won¡¯t be any more ambiguity, and there won¡¯t be any deeper communication. You can¡¯t give me what I want. This is the most you can give me. This restraint and silence, and the occasional reminders to remind me to walk out of this abyss, right?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t reply, but it was obvious that he had already tacitly agreed. When Zuo Yue turned around and was about to leave, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡±¡±Your mother will call you out for dinner tonight. Stay in a good mood and don¡¯t let your imagination run wild.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to China and Russia? Aren¡¯t you busy?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s back was facing him.¡± You can go. I¡¯ll return to Los Angeles after my exams in a few days. I won¡¯t pester you anymore, and I won¡¯t let you continue to put on a perfunctory look to make me happy and calm down every day. I want you, but not this you.¡±¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue was about to cross the opposite road and leave. Xu Chengfeng suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back with a slight force. Zuo Yue almost crashed into his arms. When she looked up at him, there was a smile in her eyes.¡±I¡¯m trying hard to get angry, don¡¯t provoke me again, okay?¡± Let someone stay for a while!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll settle our relationship as soon as possible. Give me some time.¡±Xu Chengfeng did not explain further and just looked at her.¡±¡±You are indeed still young, and I have some doubts that need to be solved. If you are willing to wait, perhaps I will not restrain myself after you turn twenty, but you are only eighteen. Zuo Yue, you have just reached the beginning of your life.¡± Zuo Yue coldly let go of his hand,¡±Who told you that I would definitely wait?¡± When did I say I was willing to wait? Either you reject me, or you give me your all. This kind of perfunctory way of giving me a chance to find the source of sobriety and rationality in this relationship, I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t accept it! You¡¯re using this method to remind me of my naivety and stupidity. You¡¯re using such a calm method to step on my hot blood. I can¡¯t accept it, I¡¯ll never accept it.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng pulled her back. He was already trying his best to walk towards her. But she couldn¡¯t feel it. ¡°If you¡¯re going to use half of it to brush it off, it¡¯s better to reject it outright, isn¡¯t it?¡±Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at him. At the same time, she slowly freed her hand from his wrist.¡±You can continue with your work. My mom is in Boston today, after all. I¡¯m very clear about what I should do and what I shouldn¡¯t do. I¡¯ll accompany her tonight. As for you, I won¡¯t say a word. I won¡¯t let you tell a third lie in your life because you¡¯re going to get me out of this.¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue expressionlessly turned around and raised her hand in front of a taxi that had stopped by the roadside. Then, she opened the door and sat in the car. She closed the door and directly left. When the chauffeur asked her where she was going, Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng in the rearview mirror. The man stood by the roadside in the snow. He was tall and straight in a plain black suit. His gaze was looking in her direction. It was getting further and further away, and she gradually could not see his face clearly. Chapter 1027 - Chapter 1027: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Anything Is Good (112) Chapter 1027: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Anything Is Good (112) ¡°Why are you so patient to sit down and eat with me today? In the past, when I asked you to have a meal with me, you would always play with your phone alone and never listen to what I said.¡± In a restaurant in Boston, Xu Yuan smiled as she cut the steak and placed it in front of Zuo Yue. She looked gently at Zuo Yue, who was getting more and more girly. Suddenly, she felt that this girl had gradually accepted the clothes she bought before and was no longer dressed so inappropriately. ¡°I think I left my phone at Uncle¡¯s company. I¡¯m not sure either. I think I left it with him. I haven¡¯t seen my phone for the entire day.¡±Zuo Yue said vaguely as she put the steak into her mouth. When Xu Yuan heard this, all her doubts were instantly dispelled. She smiled and took out Zuo Yue¡¯s phone from her bag and placed it on the table.¡±¡±You¡¯re such a forgetful girl.¡± Zuo Yue took a look at the phone and reached out to take it. Her mouth was still stuffed with steak. She raised the phone to cover her expression and eyes, but she said vaguely,¡±Why is it with you? You went to see Uncle?¡± ¡°I went to see him first and helped you get your phone back.¡±Xu Yuan smiled and looked at her.¡± Put down your phone quickly. Don¡¯t play with your phone the moment you get it. Talk to Mommy.¡±¡± Zuo Yue placed her phone on the table and said,¡±¡±After my exams, I will be going back to Los Angeles for a long vacation. You will see me every day and talk to me every day. Why are you in such a hurry?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going out for a walk during the holidays?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have that plan for the time being. You know that my pneumonias were very serious a while ago. I¡¯ll register for a gym after I go back and exercise my body.¡±Zuo Yue spoke as she picked up another piece of beef.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t Grandpa always say that I look too thin? I might really be too thin. When I go back, I¡¯ll ask Wang Ma to cook delicious food for me every day. I¡¯ll try to gain a little weight within two months.¡± ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying, girl¡­¡± Xu Yuan chuckled.¡± It¡¯s as if you¡¯ve suffered a lot with Chengfeng. I remember that Chengfeng has been taking care of himself since he was young, so he should know how to cook for you. Even if he doesn¡¯t have the patience, he shouldn¡¯t let you eat takeout every day, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s indeed not the case. Uncle¡¯s cooking is very delicious.¡±Zuo Yue said lightly and then lowered her eyes.¡±But I suddenly miss Wang Ma¡¯s cooking.¡± ¡°If Wang Ma heard you say this, she would probably be very happy. At home, you¡¯re the only one who likes to pester Wang Ma all day long and ask her to eat this and eat that. She only has this patience for you.¡±As Xu Yuan smiled, she suddenly remembered what happened outside Xu Chengfeng¡¯s office. She lowered her gaze and said,¡±¡±Did you know that your uncle is in love?¡± ¡°.. Oh, I roughly know a little.¡± Zuo Yue still lowered her eyes and did not say anything. ¡°I saw her at the company today, but that girl didn¡¯t seem to want to see me. Have you seen her? What did he look like? With your uncle¡¯s usually cold and aloof temper, the person who can catch his eye and enter his office so casually to be so intimate with him should not be bad looking, right? What kind of girl was she? The more she hides, the more curious I am.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly choked. She picked up the glass at the side and drank some light lemon water before swallowing it. Then, she looked up at Xu Yuan. Seeing that she had no intention of continuing to doubt her, she said,¡±I¡¯ve never seen him before. You know that Uncle and I don¡¯t usually spend much time together. He only comes back to the villa occasionally for a few nights to take care of my life and my studies. Even if I want to know about other things, he might not let me know.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. In Chengfeng¡¯s eyes, you¡¯re still a child who hasn¡¯t grown up. There¡¯s no need for him to explain to you whether he¡¯s in a relationship or not. However, you two have been together for a few months. Why are you always so cold and hot?¡± That¡¯s right¡­ It had already reached this stage, so why was he still feeling cold and hot? How could he restrain his feelings so rationally? However, when he kissed her and hugged her, he was still thinking about how to get her out of this deadlock. Was this considered love? Who did not understand love? Zuo Yue was silent for a while before answering. Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was unwilling to talk about Xu Chengfeng, so she did not continue. However, seeing that Zuo Yue did not play with her phone when she was eating and was eating quietly, it was as if she had suddenly grown up a lot. Her quiet appearance really made her look like a big girl. She could not help but feel a little gratified. ¡°If you find it inconvenient to live with Uncle, I¡¯ll buy you an apartment near your school when you come back after the winter vacation. Tell me which apartment or location you like later. I¡¯ll arrange for the company¡¯s people to settle the property procedures when they come here to discuss business.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, Mom. I¡¯ll only study here for a few years. Doesn¡¯t the Zuo Corporation not have many branches here? There was no need to buy a house for her here.¡± ¡°That was what I thought before, which was why I let you stay at Chengfeng¡¯s place. But now, it¡¯s different. He has a girlfriend now, so it¡¯s not appropriate for you to stay there. We¡¯re all adults, and you¡¯re not young anymore. You should understand that when two people are dating, it¡¯s inevitable for them to live together. I can¡¯t let my daughter be an eyesore in the eyes of other women.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue was speechless. She finally knew that the result of her constant lying was that she could only keep lying. He was really tired. ¡°Whatever.¡± Zuo Yue replied again and drank some water. Then, she looked at her phone and saw the message from Julie. She said,¡±My classmate sent me a message asking me if I wanted to go out for a walk during the winter vacation. I haven¡¯t thought about it yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you¡¯re happy.¡±Xu Yuan looked at her gently.¡± Your brother hasn¡¯t been back for so long, and I don¡¯t know when he¡¯s planning to come back. I haven¡¯t seen him for a long time either. If I can put the matters in America aside for the time being, maybe I can go to China to visit your brother. Unfortunately, I¡¯m tied up with the Zuo Corporation and the Xu family, so I don¡¯t have the time to go out. You¡¯re still young. Take advantage of your freedom and do whatever you want. As long as you can come back safely, I won¡¯t stop you from enjoying your youth.¡±¡± Chapter 1028 - Chapter 1028: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kidnapping (113) Chapter 1028: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kidnapping (113) When she left the restaurant, the snow outside had already stopped. Once again, Xu Yuan came and left in a hurry. Zuo Yue had to prepare for her final exams, so her mother asked her to go back to study. She did not need to send her off. Hence, after Xu Chengfeng rushed over from the company, he drove Xu Yuan directly to the airport. Zuo Yue was supposed to take a taxi back to the villa, but it was not too far away from the villa. It would take about five minutes to get there by taxi, and it would take less than twenty minutes to walk. Even on a snowy night, there were many pedestrians on the roadside. Looking at the pedestrians who were running back and forth with different skin and hair colors from her, listening to the occasional language of various countries, Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze was clear as she looked into the distance. ¡°You are indeed still young, and I have some doubts that need to be solved. If you are willing to wait, perhaps I will not restrain myself after you turn twenty, but you are only eighteen. Zuo Yue, you have just reached the beginning of your life.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words echoed in her ears. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze paused for a moment before she slowly chuckled. He was really too rational. In the end, it was because he was too obsessed with her that he became a demon in his life, causing him to sink into it, but he had to find a way to extricate himself. He was not willing to sink into these sinful feelings, and he was even more unwilling to watch her sink into it. Was there any reason to continue? If this continued, her uncle would lie to protect her again and again. She, who wanted to bear everything, would be protected by him and watch him bear all the sins for her. Her mind was in a mess. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s calmness, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gentleness, and Xu Chengfeng¡¯s warmth were all invading her nerves. Zuo Yue turned around and was about to sit on a bench by the roadside. She wanted to be alone. After all, she still had to face him after he sent her mother back from the airport. Some things had to be resolved. Presumably, he had already planned to have a good talk with her and wait for her to calm down before talking to her. A black car suddenly stopped in front of her. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused and she slowly looked up. ***** The dark gray Porsche sped along the road. At this time, Xu Yuan had already passed the security check and was about to board the plane. Xu Chengfeng looked at the time and thought of the words Zuo Yue had said to him during the day. That girl hated and avoided him when she realized that he was still deliberately distancing himself and that he was hovering between love and not love. Also, when he went to the restaurant to pick up Xu Yuan, Zuo Yue stood outside the restaurant and calmly said that she could take a taxi back to the villa alone. At that time, her expression was very calm, so quiet that it was as if she was suddenly millions of miles away from him. The car sped along the airport highway towards the city. Xu Chengfeng felt a strange sense of unease in his heart. His usual calm and forbearance suddenly messed up all his emotions at this moment. He could already control Zuo Yue very well. But now, there was a certain voice echoing in his heart, urging him to call her immediately to confirm if the sad little girl had returned to the villa safely or if she was sitting in a daze in the snow outside. Although she was young, her personality was too stubborn. When she was angry or sad, she would always hide all her softness like a turtle, not allowing anyone to touch her. The car continued to speed forward. After Xu Chengfeng set the speed, he held the steering wheel with one hand and dialed Zuo Yue¡¯s number on the automatic communication device in the car with the other hand. However, it was switched off. When he handed her phone to Xu Yuan in the afternoon, her phone was still fully charged. It was impossible for it to be out of battery now. Why would it be turned off? Zuo Yue knew that he would be able to go home soon. There were some things that needed to be discussed, so she would definitely not turn off her phone to escape because she knew that there was no way to escape. He called her again, but her phone was still switched off. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened. He put on his earphones and dialed Zuo Yue¡¯s number again and again. His heart sank when Zuo Yue¡¯s phone was turned off again and again. The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, reaching almost 200 km/h in the cold and snowy world. Half an hour later, he finally returned to the villa. However, the lights in the villa were not on. In the courtyard in front of the villa, there were no footprints left by Zuo Yue when she returned. It was already 10:30 at night. Where would she go at this time? Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t give up and picked up his phone. Suddenly, the screen lit up. It showed the number of Aite, who had rushed back from Russia. A feeling of uneasiness instantly hit his heart. The moment he picked up the phone, Ainte¡¯s voice sounded.¡± Boss Boss, Russia has discovered that you are in the United States. They have discovered that you are gradually clearing your name. They don¡¯t intend to let you successfully remove your identity from the Russian mafia. They have already begun to make targeted actions. Moreover, a large number of people have quietly rushed to the United States. They are using the method of kidnapping to force you to hand over your power to them. I just got the news.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were cold. As he answered the phone, he had already walked into the villa. He turned on the lights and looked inside. Indeed, there was no one there. His rare hope of luck was finally shattered by reality. Zuo Yue returned. Her phone was switched off. The people from Russia had already rushed over. Xu Chengfeng slowly put down his phone and stood silently in front of the door. He turned around and looked at the snow and the night sky. His eyes became even colder. He suddenly turned around and walked out quickly. He opened the car door. The dark gray Porsche made an ear-piercing sound as it turned quickly in the snow. Then, it drove quickly in the direction of the restaurant where Zuo Yue and Xu Yuan had dinner tonight. The snow had stopped long ago, and the accumulated snow on the road had been cleared to the roadside. There was no sign of Zuo Yue along the way, nor was there any sign of a large-scale attack or struggle. The whole way was extremely quiet, and Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart became even more empty. His mind was filled with the silence in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes when she said that she wanted to go back to the villa alone to revise. Even after searching the road twice, Zuo Yue was nowhere to be seen. He picked up his phone and dialed her number again, but her phone was still switched off. Xu Chengfeng threw down his phone and raised his hand to touch the space between his eyebrows. However, he could not rub away the deeper wrinkles between his eyebrows. Suddenly, a mobile phone rang in the car. The sudden clamor made Xu Chengfeng freeze. He turned to look at the mobile phone that was thrown on the passenger seat. It was Zuo Yue¡¯s number. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened. He had already guessed a little. He picked up the phone and placed it by his ear. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he said in a deep voice,¡±Tell me your purpose. Don¡¯t hurt her.¡± ¡°Ah, Ken, you¡¯re still so alert. You didn¡¯t even hear my voice and already guessed that your woman is in my hands¡­¡± Chapter 1029 - Chapter 1029: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, Your Woman (114) Chapter 1029: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon, Your Woman (114) ¡°Ah, Ken, you¡¯re still so alert. You didn¡¯t even hear my voice and already guessed that your woman is in my hands¡­¡± It was a deep, cold, and slightly hoarse voice. It had the vicissitudes and depth of a middle-aged man. When he heard the voice, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face turned cold. How could it be Sen Luo? Zuo Yue would probably not be treated well if she fell into their hands. With Senro¡¯s personality as a cold-blooded killer leader, he would not have a good attitude towards the people he captured. ¡°Senro, this is the United States, not your territory in Russia. I warn you not to act rashly.¡±Xu Chengfeng held the phone expressionlessly with one hand and controlled the steering wheel with the other. He quickly drove the car away from the area in front of the villa. ¡°Of course I know that this is the United States. If it wasn¡¯t the United States, do you think I would use such a despicable method of kidnapping your woman to threaten you to show yourself?¡±The man on the other end of the phone laughed coldly. As he spoke, he turned to look at Zuo Yue, who was slowly waking up in the corner of the dark warehouse. He said faintly,¡± Yo, your woman is awake. She¡¯s not bad looking, but she¡¯s so young that I¡¯m surprised. Ken, you haven¡¯t touched any woman for so many years, but in the end, you actually like such a young girl¡­¡± ¡°What did you do to her?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just put some confusion on her before I took her away. The medicine covered her mouth and nose, causing her to be unconscious until now. However, she¡¯s already awake now. She opened her eyes and is looking at me. Her eyes are filled with fear and confusion. Her expression is very surprised, as if she¡¯s very afraid¡­¡± The man on the other end of the phone sounded cold and sinister. At the same time, he smiled sinisterly.¡±Ken, she¡¯s the woman you like, right?¡± The veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead bulged. He suddenly braked hard, and the car crashed to the ground. He held his phone in one hand and used the other hand to search for Zuo Yue¡¯s phone signal on the GPS scanner in the car. A minute later, the screen showed that it could not be found. ¡°Ken, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Was he looking for the location of the phone signal? Heh¡­ Have you forgotten who I am? It¡¯s such a simple thing to block a signal. Of course, they would have done it before making the call. It seems like you can only hope to find us through the phone signal¡­¡± ¡°Aiyo, your woman is staring at me. She seems to have heard the contents of my phone call with you. She seems to have understood her current situation¡­She was actually staring at me¡­Interesting¡­Ken, what kind of woman are you looking for? It looks like a little girl. I wonder if the taste will be as fresh as it looks¡­¡± ¡°Senro, if you dare to touch her, be careful of the lives of your entire family!¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression remained calm, but his eyes had become colder.¡±State your conditions!¡± ¡°Heh, you should know the conditions. Didn¡¯t you want to give up your power in Russia? Why don¡¯t you transfer it to me? You have such a large mafia business and all the financial channels for the global supply of the dark army! Since you want to clear your name, then give these to me!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Although he did not find Zuo Yue¡¯s location, another search team in the car had already started quietly. At the same time, Ainte, who had received the information through the signal sent by the device, had already begun to search and cooperate with Zuo Yue. Everything was a silent contest. Senro knew that Xu Chengfeng would not agree easily. If he agreed too easily, there must be a trick. He did not plan to get the power immediately. He only smiled coldly on the other end of the phone and said,¡± I will only keep your woman¡¯s life for twelve hours. If you can¡¯t hand over all the letters and information about the channels under your command to me before noon tomorrow, I will chop off one of your woman¡¯s arms and send it to you in a package along with her flesh and blood¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m warning you one last time, don¡¯t touch her!¡±Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± Senro, the fight between us has always been open and aboveboard. There¡¯s no need to involve a woman. Besides, she¡¯s not my woman. She¡¯s just a child entrusted to me by a relative. Do you have to involve an innocent person?¡±¡± ¡°A child?¡± Senro snorted and thought to himself,¡¯Would a kid look at you like that?¡¯ Would a child wait for hours in the snow in front of a cinema for you? Ken, do you think I¡¯m crazy? Don¡¯t you understand what¡¯s going on between you and this little girl? It¡¯s just something between a man and a woman. What¡¯s there to hide!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows instantly turned cold, and his voice was deep and malicious.¡±The previous shooting incident was indeed caused by you.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve already found out, I¡¯m surprised that you haven¡¯t returned to Russia to settle the score with me. It seems that this little girl has brought you an extraordinary connection. I really want to know what it would feel like if I cut off her flesh piece by piece or pressed her under my body to taste her¡­¡± Think about it, feel it¡¯s exciting Just as Xu Chengfeng was silent, Senro suddenly smiled strangely on the other end of the phone. He looked at the figure curled up in the corner of the dark warehouse with fear in his eyes. He slowly stood up and placed the phone by his ear as he walked towards her. After Zuo Yue woke up in a daze, she had no idea what had happened at all. Her memory only stayed on the car that suddenly stopped in front of her. She only remembered that two people rushed out of the car and instantly pressed her down. Her mouth was covered with something. She struggled for a while before her consciousness blurred and she did not know anything. When she woke up, she was in a daze until she heard the terrifying man with a scar on his face talking on the phone. She then roughly understood that she had been kidnapped. This man used her to threaten his uncle. Seeing him walking towards her step by step, Zuo Yue curled up nervously, but her eyes looked around at the same time. However, her surroundings were dark. There was not even a light in the entire warehouse. There was only a strong flashlight placed on a metal shelf in front of her. Moreover, the strong light was shining in the direction of her body. ¡°Ken, your woman is afraid. She¡¯s looking at me warily¡­However, at such a close distance, your woman is indeed very beautiful¡­¡± Chapter 1030 - Chapter 1030: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Silent Scarlet (115) Chapter 1030: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Silent Scarlet (115) The man¡¯s voice carried a hint of ruthlessness and threat as he walked towards her. Zuo Yue leaned back against the wall, but the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her hair. Zuo Yue almost cried out in pain, but when she remembered that he was on the phone with her uncle, she immediately held back the cry of pain that was about to come out of her mouth. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes without making a sound. Senro didn¡¯t expect that the little girl who had curled up in fear just a moment ago would be so stubborn. He immediately narrowed his eyes and pulled her hair even harder, saying coldly,¡± Tell Ken what I¡¯m doing to you right now. Tell him that if he doesn¡¯t agree to my conditions, I¡¯ll make you wish you were dead¡­¡± As he spoke, he placed the phone beside her ear. Xu Chengfeng heard the voice on the other end of the phone and realized that the other end was very quiet. He immediately tried to ask in a low voice,¡±Zuo Yue?¡± Upon hearing her uncle¡¯s voice, the fear and helplessness in Zuo Yue¡¯s heart instantly erupted. Her eyes immediately turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. However, when she thought of what the man had said just now and what had happened when she was shot the last time, she understood what kind of danger her uncle would face if he was really threatened because of her. It was her fault for not taking a taxi home, which gave the bad guys a loophole to exploit. It was her fault for not being careful. Zuo Yue did not say anything, nor did she make any sound. She only shut her mouth tightly and turned her head away to avoid the phone that was already pressed to her ear. Sen Luo¡¯s eyes turned cold.¡± He¡¯s quite stubborn. Why?¡± You don¡¯t want Ken to save you?¡± Zuo Yue did not answer, but she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the terrifying man in front of her expressionlessly. The gaze that shot out from her eyes was obviously telling him,¡± Don¡¯t even think about it! ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± However, Xu Chengfeng said on the other end of the phone,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, say something.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was right beside her ear. Zuo Yue resisted the urge to cry and ask him to come and take her away as soon as possible. She only stared at the man who was about to tear her scalp off. Her face was already in pain and was getting paler and paler, but she gritted her teeth and did not make a sound. Senro suddenly let go of her hair and slapped her across the face. The sound of the slap was so loud that Xu Chengfeng, who was on the other end of the phone, frowned. Zuo Yue?!¡± Zuo Yue was hit so hard that she fell to the side. The force was so strong that she crashed into the wall beside her. Her face was burning with pain, and her head hit the wall hard. It was so painful that she hissed softly, but it was only a small sound. She did not make any more sounds. ¡°I wanted to play with you, but I hate stubborn women like you the most!¡±Senro stepped forward and pulled her hair again, dragging her for more than two meters before throwing her to the ground.¡±¡±You¡¯re not talking, are you? I have many ways to let him see your miserable state. Do you want him to see how you¡¯re being ravaged and beaten by me in the video and camera? Hmm?¡± As the man spoke, he suddenly kicked Zuo Yue, who was about to collapse to the ground, fiercely. This kick directly landed on her stomach. Zuo Yue fell to the ground in pain. She curled up her body and covered her stomach that was in so much pain that it was about to explode. She endured the pain until her lips were already bleeding, but she still did not make a sound. Although Xu Chengfeng could not hear Zuo Yue¡¯s voice on the other side of the phone, the movement in the forest was too loud. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face was gloomy as he looked at the constantly rotating signal position on the search device in the car. At the same time, he tightened his grip on the phone. ¡°Still not willing to speak?¡± Senro looked at the girl who had fallen to the ground and pulled her up again. He slapped her face that was already swollen and kicked her to the ground at the same time. Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body retreated violently and then slammed into a corner of the metal frame beside her. She did not know how sharp the edge of the metal frame was, but she did not know what had pierced into the back of her shoulder. She was in so much pain that her entire body was trembling, and her back was instantly dyed red with blood. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re bleeding.¡± Sen Luo snorted and laughed as he looked at Zuo Yue, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. There were tears on his face and blood at the corner of his mouth. His face was as pale as a dead person, but he still refused to make a sound. He narrowed his eyes and gave a look to his two subordinates who walked in from the door. The two men nodded, turned around and went outside to find two basins of cold water and poured it on Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was immediately frozen and slowly opened her eyes. However, it was still dark in front of her, and her entire body was in pain. She even wanted to shout but she had no strength left. Seeing that she had woken up, Senro walked over step by step and squatted down beside her. He looked down at her coldly and said,¡±¡±If you don¡¯t speak, my brothers will let you know what it means to live a life worse than death. I don¡¯t know how many times you¡¯ve slept with Ken. You look fair and tender, but my brothers like women like you. It should be very comfortable to be f * cked!¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at him in disbelief. Senro handed her phone to her and signaled her to speak with his eyes. Ken was a very cautious person. If he couldn¡¯t hear this woman¡¯s voice, he wouldn¡¯t have acted rashly even if he believed that they had taken the little girl away. He had to use this woman to make Ken panic. Otherwise, their plan would be stalled. Zuo Yue glanced at the phone and remained silent. However, there seemed to be some hesitation in her eyes. She slowly raised her somewhat painful and stiff hand to take the phone. Senro looked at her in confusion. He did not pass the phone to her, but he still maintained the posture of handing it to her. The moment Zuo Yue¡¯s hand touched the phone, she suddenly had the strength from somewhere and slapped her hand away from his hand. The moment the phone fell to the ground, the screen shattered, but the call did not end as she wished. ¡°Mother-in-law!¡± Senro immediately cursed and kicked her in the waist. This time, Zuo Yue groaned in pain. Although her voice was very soft, the phone was right beside her. The voice was transmitted into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s ears through the loudspeaker of the phone. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes had turned from calm and deep to quiet and red. The phone was almost crushed in his hand. The position displayed on the device in the car finally showed the location of the signal. At the same time, Ainte sent a signal through the device. Xu Chengfeng instantly cut off the phone and restarted the engine. The dark gray Porsche sped towards the location of the signal at a terrifying speed. Chapter 1031 - Chapter 1031: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-A Galloping Chase (116) Chapter 1031: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-A Galloping Chase (116) Senro picked up his phone and found that the call had been hung up. He didn¡¯t know if it was Xu Chengfeng who hung up or if the phone had crashed. He turned around and gave his two subordinates an impatient look. The two men, who were also dressed in black, rushed over and lifted Zuo Yue up from the ground. They carried her to the only metal shelf in the dark warehouse. As soon as she was put down, the cold touch on the metal shelf made her tremble. When she lay on a high place, she saw the things on the table beside the metal shelf through the light of the phone barrel. It was a needle filled with some unknown medicine. A knife. A gun. It was a black medicine bottle the height of a middle finger. And the rope. There were also a few other things that she did not dare to imagine. Could this be one of the top ten places of torture? What were these? Zuo Yue looked at those things stiffly until Senro walked over and saw fear in her eyes again. She snorted coldly and said,¡±¡± If Xu Chengfeng is late by five minutes after noon tomorrow, I¡¯ll let you experience it personally¡­¡± As he spoke, Senro picked up the needle and played with it in his hand.¡±Do you know what this is?¡± Zuo Yue stared at the needle in his hand and saw a few drops of liquid squeezed out of the needle. She immediately trembled and curled up on the cold metal rack, afraid that he would put the needle close to her. Senro held the needle and slowly extended his hand towards her, pressing the sharp needle against her arm. When he saw the fear in her eyes, he sneered,¡±¡±This needle is the most difficult drug to quit in the world in recent decades. How many people have lost their families and humanity because of it? How many people have committed suicide by jumping off buildings or jumping into the sea to quit it¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Senro sneered and looked at her,¡±¡±As the price for angering me just now, guess how I will punish you now?¡± Zuo Yue took two deep breaths and desperately tried to pull her hand out of his. Senluo narrowed her eyes at her coldly and continued to hold her wrist with a snort, wanting to pierce the needle into her skin. Zuo Yue started to struggle,¡±No!¡±¡± ¡°Behave yourself! Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that I won¡¯t take your life now! Bitch!¡± Senro forcefully pressed down on her body and pierced the needle into her arm. Zuo Yue immediately cried out in pain. Before Sen Luo could push the medicine into her body, a strange dripping sound suddenly came from outside the warehouse. Sen Luo¡¯s expression instantly changed and he turned to look at his two subordinates in the warehouse.¡±How could that be? How could they find the GPS location so quickly? He actually blew up the barrier?! Even the latest shielding device from Russia couldn¡¯t stop Ken¡¯s tech dogs?!¡± The two subordinates panicked when they heard the voice. They turned to look at Senro, who had an ugly expression and bloodshot eyes.¡±Boss, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯re about to arrive! After Ken came to the United States, he took over a large technology company. He probably planned to focus on the technology field that he and his subordinates were best at after he cleared his name. The speed at which he detected our shielding devices is beyond imagination. What should we do? Should he leave with his men now? Or continue to threaten?¡± Senro suddenly pulled out the needle and looked coldly at Zuo Yue who was lying on the metal rack with tears in her eyes. She said fiercely,¡±¡±Take him away!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Senro quickly turned around and walked out. Zuo Yue did not understand what was going on when the two men in black rushed over and lifted her up, carrying her out. ¡°Where are you bringing me¡­¡± Zuo Yue hung weakly on their shoulders. Her voice was very soft, and her vision was blurry. She seemed to have fallen into hell. However, the only thing that was clear in her mind was¡­I can¡¯t let my uncle appear¡­He couldn¡¯t come¡­ These people used her to threaten him. She could not let him take the risk¡­ She loved him, but she did not want to be a burden to him¡­He had already violated too many principles because of her. She could not be his burden¡­I can¡¯t kill him¡­ Zuo Yue did not know what these people were panicking about, but after she was carried out, she realized that the snow outside was slightly bright, but it was still late at night. The black car that she had seen before drove over from the side. The two men opened the door and threw her in. Zuo Yue collapsed in the car and did not have the strength to sit up. Every part of her body was screaming in pain. The wound on the back of her shoulder seemed to have stopped bleeding, but her head was in a mess because of the previous collisions. Her ears were buzzing. She could only feel that those people were anxious to drive away, but she could not hear what they were saying. ¡°Boss, we kidnapped this woman to threaten Ken, but if he finds out where we are hiding and tracks us, this woman will only be a time bomb to us.¡± ¡°Why did you throw it down? Although Ken has always been so decisive, his speed this time is really beyond my imagination. This woman definitely has an extraordinary meaning to him. As long as this woman is in our hands, even if he doesn¡¯t lose his composure, he will definitely feel very uncomfortable. I want to make him feel uncomfortable! If this woman can¡¯t be our bargaining chip, how can I get what I want from him?¡±Senro said coldly from the front passenger seat. As he spoke, Senro looked back at the little girl who couldn¡¯t sit up because of the pain all over her body. It was as if she was barely breathing. Occasionally, she struggled to sit up but was powerless. She looked like she was twitching non-stop. He sneered and turned to look at Xue Ye outside.¡±Let¡¯s leave first. Ken will find a way to continue looking for us after he misses us. We have to move this woman to a place where he can no longer find her before he carries out a full-scale interception.¡± Zuo Yue slowly turned her eyes and looked at the man with a face full of scars in the front passenger seat. Her hands hung weakly under the leather seat at the back of the car, and her fingers slowly tightened. The black car sped on the snowy night for a long time. Suddenly, the surrounding area was lit up by a burst of glaring headlights. The bright vision made it impossible for the black-clothed man in the driver¡¯s seat to drive forward smoothly. ¡°Boss! We¡¯re surrounded!¡± Senro raised his hand to cover his eyes, then looked coldly at the black SUVs that were rapidly approaching from the window. He then looked coldly at Zuo Yue, who was still lying in the back seat. Chapter 1032 - Chapter 1032: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Rescue (117) Chapter 1032: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Rescue (117) ¡°Ken has been keeping a low profile ever since he arrived in the United States. Now, he can actually mobilize the forces in the United States. It seems that this woman is not an ordinary existence to him!¡±Senluo narrowed his eyes. Seeing that he was about to be surrounded into a dead end, he said coldly,¡±Anyway, this woman¡¯s life is not worth mentioning to us. Since he wants to surround us, he should let his woman die first!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Senro ordered coldly,¡±¡±If we have to use the rear of the car to collide with them, even if the woman behind them is killed by the impact, we must use her life to create a path of blood to escape!¡± Zuo Yue heard this sentence clearly. She gradually widened her eyes and looked at the crazy and cruel man. In an instant, the surrounding cars had already approached. The black-clothed subordinate in the driver¡¯s seat immediately slammed the rear of the car into the headlights of those off-road vehicles. In an instant, the car experienced all kinds of collisions and bumps. Zuo Yue was suddenly thrown off the seat due to the violent collision behind her. After falling under the seat, the collision became more and more intense. Her entire body was stuck to the car door. She wanted to raise her hand to stabilize her body, but before she could grab anything, she suddenly fell from one side of the car door to the other. Her head hit the switch on the door, and the pain made her dizzy. However, before she could sit properly, the car crashed violently again. Zuo Yue could not control her body, and the men sitting in front looked at the layers of encirclement outside with cold expressions. They could not believe that they were blocked by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s men just like that! Outside the car, a dark gray Porsche was speeding in a circle of black SUVs. Ainte looked at the car in front of him that had been severely distorted by the violent collision. He immediately turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat with a deep gaze.¡±Boss, they deliberately used the rear of the car to collide. Could it be¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t say anything. He just looked in that direction and suddenly sped up. Ainte didn¡¯t expect it at all. ¡°Boss!¡± The two men in black could no longer control the black car in front of them. Just as they were about to escape in the direction of the highway, a dark gray Porsche suddenly rushed over at a speed of more than 220 km/h. It sped past them and quickly turned around, blocking in the middle of the road to block their way. The car suddenly braked violently. Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body was in so much pain that she almost lost consciousness. She did not know where her body was stuck and she could not move anymore. Her brain had turned into a paste because of the violent collision. She almost forgot where she was, what a strange world she was in, and what a terrible situation she was in¡­ Senro looked coldly at the car in front of them in the dead of night. When the door of the car opened, Xu Chengfeng, who was also dressed in black, appeared in everyone¡¯s sight. At the same time, Ainte got out of the car and walked behind Xu Chengfeng. Ainte quickly pulled out his gun and fired a few shots at one of the tires on Senro¡¯s side that was deformed and could no longer drive smoothly. The car swayed and fell a little. The tires were completely unusable. Zuo Yue could not see the man who was walking towards her step by step in the snowy night. She could only instinctively feel that the men in the car seemed to be at a loss at this moment. Until Senro suddenly reached behind her and pulled her collar up. He took out a gun and aimed it at her forehead. Zuo Yue¡¯s pale face was frighteningly pale under the moonlight that shone in from outside the car. She was so scared that she was numb. She looked at him with lifeless eyes and then suddenly smiled. ¡°Wretched girl! What are you laughing at!¡± Senro glared at him in anger, his hand already pulling the trigger. Even if he were to confront Ken directly, as long as he had her as a bargaining chip, he did not believe that Ken would dare to make a move! Zuo Yue moved her mouth, but she could not say anything for a long time. After a moment, she laughed foolishly and said hoarsely,¡±¡±I¡¯m laughing at you¡­Now, you look like you¡¯re about to die¡­¡± Senro was instantly furious. Just as he was about to shoot, Zuo Yue suddenly had the strength from somewhere to grab his hand and bite down on his wrist. ¡°Ah!¡± Senro was in so much pain that he couldn¡¯t control the direction of the gun in his hand. The sound of the gun being fired instantly sounded in the car, and the bullet hit the bulletproof glass window. The muffled sound of a gunshot rang out from the car. Xu Chengfeng, who had already approached the car, suddenly looked at the dark window of the car with a cold gaze. Zuo Yue also instantly looked up at the murderous intent in Senro¡¯s eyes. Her uncle was just outside the car. Since she had the chance, she could not continue to endure it. She had to think of a way to save herself when she saw hope! Senro suddenly shook off Zuo Yue and aimed the gun at her head again. Zuo Yue stared into his eyes and slowly raised her hand. Her blood-stained hand looked cold in the dark car. Senro noticed her action and immediately pulled the trigger. Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his hand that was holding the gun. She looked at him coldly and thought of the Russian that she had deliberately learned some time ago. Even if she only knew a few words, it was very representative. She already knew the key words. She grabbed his hand tightly. Just as he was about to shoot her, she suddenly spat out a sentence in Russian. Senro¡¯s expression changed, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified. He narrowed his eyes and focused all his attention on her. Suddenly, the car shook and collided violently. Senro, who had been sitting steadily, suddenly jerked backward. The moment Zuo Yue¡¯s head shifted, she raised her hand to grab the gun. Senro instantly raised his gun to dodge, while his other hand grabbed her hair and slammed her head into the car door. Zuo Yue¡¯s forehead was bruised on the spot, and her vision was in a daze. Xu Chengfeng, who was outside the car, instantly found the best opportunity to break through. The cars behind them rushed forward at the same time. Just as the black car was about to escape, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure leaped into the black car like an agile leopard. Ainte cooperated with him and flashed over, pulling open the speeding car door. Zuo Yue was forced to lean against the car door and expose her upper body. Xu Chengfeng was stunned when he saw Zuo Yue, who was almost half-covered in blood. Seeing that Zuo Yue was about to fall from the speeding car, Xu Chengfeng instantly stretched out his arm and jumped down. Chapter 1033 - Chapter 1033: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-His Weakness (118) Chapter 1033: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-His Weakness (118) The Russian sentence that Zuo Yue spat out at that time was: Those who would threaten the weak were the real weak. Senro, who had never been willing to admit defeat, was naturally angered by her mocking words. That was why he had completely lost his mind and placed all his attention on her. And now, Senro was distracted for a moment and suddenly looked up at Xu Chengfeng and Ainte, who had actually rushed up to the front of the car. He immediately flew into a rage and ordered his two men in black to speed up and throw them off. Half of Zuo Yue¡¯s body almost fell from the open car door. She looked up at Xu Chengfeng, who had already reached out to her. The tears that she had been holding back for a long time instantly fell from the corner of her eyes. She opened her mouth, but because the car was too fast and the wind was too loud, no one could hear her clearly. Xu Chengfeng could already see her calling him from her mouth,¡±¡±Little¡­Uncle¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. Ainte stretched out an arm beside him to help him extend the distance he could bend down to save Zuo Yue. At the same time, he shouted,¡±¡±Boss, there¡¯s a turn ahead, it¡¯s easy to get thrown off! We have to get out of this car immediately!¡± After he finished speaking, Ainte grabbed Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm with one hand and used the other hand to cling to the edge of the car window, blocking the front of the driver¡¯s seat in an attempt to slow down the car. ¡°Don¡¯t slow down! Charge over!¡± As Senro spoke, he raised his gun and pointed it at Xu Chengfeng, who had already leaned down. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes only stayed on Zuo Yue¡¯s tearful eyes. A deep pain and heartache that he could not imagine invaded all his nerves. The moment he grabbed her cold hand, he pulled her out of the car with all his might. This kind of difficult action had put Xu Chengfeng in the most dangerous position. Ainte saw that Senro was about to shoot, so he quickly got into the driver¡¯s seat the moment Xu Chengfeng successfully brought Zuo Yue out. He opened the door and aimed the gun at the head of the man in black who was driving. The car started to shake violently, unable to move forward steadily. Senro¡¯s hand was shaken to the side, and before he could open the bulletproof window to shoot Xu Chengfeng, Xu Chengfeng had already brought Zuo Yue and rolled from the side of the car to the ground. Zuo Yue was already numb to the point of not feeling pain, but she was completely in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. When they landed, they accurately fell on a pile of snow by the roadside. Even though the fall was not serious, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body was the first to land. Then, due to the inertia of falling off the car, he hugged her tightly and rolled a few times in the snow. When they finally stopped, Xu Chengfeng propped her up with one hand and helped her sit up with the other. At the same time, he looked at the car in the distance that was trying to change lanes and the agile Ainte. He knew that with Ainte¡¯s skills, it would not be a problem for him to deal with the three people in the car. He then lowered his head and looked at Zuo Yue, who was leaning in his arms silently and motionless. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng hugged her and knelt in the snow. He saw the wounds on her head and the red and swollen palm marks on her face from Senro. He also saw the blood on her back and the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Her hair was messy and scattered on her shoulders. It was almost impossible to see her original appearance. Zuo Yue leaned into his embrace and slowly opened her eyes, but she did not have the strength to move. She knew that he had saved her and that she was out of danger. However, the immense fear and pain almost made her lose consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she looked at him as if she had lost focus. She stared at this man who had personally rescued her from the abyss at the moment of life and death. She finally believed that the usually gentle and calm man had such skills and perseverance. His decisiveness, the power behind him, those brothers, and those guns and killings were the deepest ditch between them. On one hand, his identity could not give her enough stability, and on the other hand, his blood relationship stopped him from moving forward. Zuo Yue suddenly understood his rationality and retreat. However, at this moment, the vast world was covered in white snow. Zuo Yue looked at him with lifeless eyes and did not move at all. ¡°Zuo Yue, say something.¡± Xu Chengfeng had guessed that she was injured, but he did not expect that she would be injured to this extent. Seeing the blood on her mouth and head, and the red palm marks on her face, he suppressed the surging killing intent. Seeing that she did not speak, he was about to carry her by the waist. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue slowly opened her mouth, but her voice was as soft as a mosquito. Xu Chengfeng paused and looked down at her.¡±Don¡¯t be afraid. A car will be here soon. We¡¯ll go to the hospital soon. You¡¯ll be fine.¡± He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of scaring her, who was now so fragile and covered in wounds. It was more like he was afraid of scaring himself, who was hiding in his heart and was about to go crazy. Zuo Yue shook her head gently and buried her face into his shirt. She breathed in the scent of his arms. It was clean, refreshing, and cold, but it also had a warmth that belonged only to her. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I caused you to be threatened and put you in danger¡­ I¡¯m not careful enough. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s black eyes, which were originally trying to calm down, instantly turned red.¡±This has nothing to do with you. If they didn¡¯t find out that you were with me, they would have gone to Los Angeles to cause trouble for the Xu family. To these people, anything related to me is a means for them to try to conquer me.¡± ¡°Are they looking for your weakness?¡±Zuo Yue asked weakly. Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but his gaze at her was a tacit agreement. Zuo Yue suddenly laughed, but her face hurt from laughing, and her face turned pale at the same time.¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to be your weakness. Uncle, I¡¯m sorry¡­In the future¡­ I won¡¯t pester you anymore. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He let go of those emotions and picked her up directly. At this time, a few black SUVs drove over from the roadside. The car door opened, and a few blonde-haired, blue-eyed men in black suits got out of the car. When Xu Chengfeng carried Zuo Yue to the side of the car, he said respectfully,¡±¡±Boss, a roadblock has been set up two kilometers away from the fork in the road ahead. They can¡¯t escape.¡± ¡°Did Ainte bring something with him to help you?¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ayt is almost here.¡± The car door at the back was respectfully opened by the person. Xu Chengfeng directly carried Zuo Yue, who was in his arms with her eyes closed and motionless, into the car. Because Zuo Yue was covered in injuries and could not sit properly, he had been holding Zuo Yue in his arms after getting into the car. He let her sit on his lap and chest, supporting her back steadily, as if he had surrounded her with the whole world¡¯s sense of security. Chapter 1034 - Chapter 1034: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-By Your Side (119) Chapter 1034: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-By Your Side (119) It was very quiet in the car. The man in the black suit turned the car around and drove towards the city without saying a word or asking any questions. It was so quiet that it was as if Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng were the only two people left in the world. She quietly leaned in his arms and did not faint, but she was really tired and did not have any strength. Her body was hurting everywhere, but it was so painful that she could almost not feel the pain anymore. She didn¡¯t even have the strength to open her eyes, nor did she have the strength to speak. She just leaned quietly in his arms and breathed in his scent to make sure that she was really out of danger. From the moment she woke up after being kidnapped until now, there was no time until tomorrow afternoon like what Senro had said. Xu Chengfeng had brought her back to his side in less than two hours. Even though she was covered in injuries now, at least the time of fear and torture had been reduced by so much. Now, she could only feel gratitude. She was grateful for her uncle¡¯s all-out effort. She was even more grateful that he was not injured when he came to save her. He did not suffer any harm because of her. Thank him for his agility, thank him for his strength¡­ Zuo Yue was too quiet, so quiet that it was unlike her. Xu Chengfeng lowered his gaze and looked at the girl in his arms, whose face was covered in wounds. She was so fragile that it seemed like she would break at the slightest touch. He raised his hand and caressed her messy hair. He placed a gentle and comforting kiss on her lips. However, just as he kissed her, Zuo Yue suddenly turned her head away as if she had been electrocuted. She avoided his kiss and buried her face in his chest at the same time. Xu Chengfeng paused and realized that she was avoiding his intimacy. The hand on her back suddenly changed to embrace her. For a moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that this girl seemed to want to leave his world. When he hugged her, he increased his strength and firmly imprisoned her in his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. After you go to the hospital for a checkup, rest in peace. I¡¯ll always be by your side, okay?¡± Zuo Yue did not answer. She was so quiet that it seemed as if she had fallen asleep. However, Xu Chengfeng could feel the wetness on his chest. She was crying, crying quietly. There was no sound at all, not even a sob. However, she buried her face in his arms and ignored the wetness on his shirt. ¡± From tomorrow onwards, I will secretly plant some people around you. Previously, I only treated you as an ordinary student. Others would not take advantage of the situation to attack you. Now, it seems that everything is my fault. I failed to protect you well, causing you to be frightened and hurt because of me. Zuo Yue, if you have anything to say, just say it to me. Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. If you have resentment, you can hit or scold me. Don¡¯t hold it in by yourself.¡± As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he gently caressed her back as if to comfort, apologize, and coax her. Zuo Yue did not move, but the wetness on his shirt increased. Xu Chengfeng held her face and forcefully pushed her away from his arms. He looked down at her eyes that were blurred by tears and saw all the grievances, fear, and forbearance in her eyes. His heart ached as if it had been pierced by thousands of arrows. Xu Chengfeng raised his hand to wipe away her tears. Zuo Yue sniffed gently and turned her face away. She said in a low voice,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°I hope you¡¯re really fine and not being sarcastic.¡±Xu Chengfeng took out a piece of tissue from the driver¡¯s bag and wiped her tears away. Then, he wiped away the dried blood at the corner of her mouth and gently stroked her head as if he was treating a beloved child.¡±It won¡¯t happen again, I promise.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head lightly but did not speak. She wasn¡¯t afraid. She leaned into his chest again, her eyes closed and she did not move. She did not say anything either. Xu Chengfeng looked down at her, who was so injured but did not cry or make a fuss. She was even so obedient. It was the first time he realized that he could not understand Zuo Yue. This girl had always been pure and straightforward. She had never hidden a thousand words in her heart without expressing a single word. Xu Chengfeng hugged her and kissed her gently on the hairline. Zuo Yue turned her head slightly away when she was kissed, as if she was resisting all his overly intimate actions, even if it was just comforting. Xu Chengfeng looked at her and saw that her emotions were still a little unstable. He did not force her to do anything and only patted her gently.¡±Don¡¯t think too much, okay?¡± Zuo Yue still did not respond. She only leaned into his arms as if she was seeking warmth. However, when Xu Chengfeng was about to hold her hand, she pulled her hand away from his palm. ¡°..¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her resistance speechlessly and frowned secretly. ***** In the hospital, Xu Chengfeng finally knew how many injuries Zuo Yue had suffered after the doctor¡¯s examination. The superficial injuries were only considered minor. She had been kicked a few times in her abdomen and waist, causing her abdomen and waist to be affected greatly. She could not do any strenuous exercise for a short period of time. Although she could go home to recuperate after a few days of treatment in the hospital, there were many things to pay attention to. This time, Zuo Yue would probably be hospitalized in the hospital for three days. She realized that she might have provoked some kind of jinx recently. She had a special affinity with the hospital recently. It had only been a few months, but he felt that he had almost used up all the chances of being hospitalized in his lifetime. Lying on the hospital bed, there were devices fixed to her neck and waist to treat her. Although there was a lot of blood coming out from the place where the metal frame pierced her back, it was not very deep. She was fine after a few stitches. She had a slight concussion, so she had a headache now. She had been lying in bed with her eyes closed. However, the terrifying scene in the dark warehouse kept flashing in front of her. Every time she closed her eyes for more than half an hour, she could not take it anymore and suddenly opened her eyes. She could not sleep. The moment she opened her eyes, she could see Xu Chengfeng in her ward. When she opened her eyes half an hour ago, he was pouring water. Seeing that she was not asleep, he came over to feed her some warm water. When he opened his eyes this time, he was standing in front of the window, looking at a certain point in the distance. No one knew what he was looking at or thinking about. After Zuo Yue glanced at him, she retracted her gaze and did not say anything to disturb him. When Xu Chengfeng felt her gaze and turned his eyes, she closed her eyes again as if nothing had happened. She quietly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. Xu Chengfeng looked at Zuo Yue who was obviously pretending to be asleep and quiet, and a strange emotion flashed across his heart. He even kept getting agitated because of what she had said earlier. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be your weakness. Uncle, I¡¯m sorry¡­In the future¡­ I won¡¯t pester you anymore¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows were slightly furrowed. He had one hand in his pocket and stood still in front of the window. After a moment of silence, the moment Zuo Yue opened her eyes again, he turned around and walked towards her bed. Chapter 1035 - Chapter 1035: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sneaking Out (120) Chapter 1035: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sneaking Out (120) Zuo Yue hurriedly closed her eyes, but Xu Chengfeng had already walked to the side of the bed. He lowered his eyes to look at her, and their eyes met. ¡°Can¡¯t sleep?¡± he asked. Zuo Yue saw that she could not avoid it, so she could only nod her head lightly. However, she only moved slightly, and she felt pain from her neck to her entire body. Her face immediately turned pale from the pain. ¡± You have to stay in the hospital for at least three to four days. Don¡¯t move around for the next few days. Although Ainte has been assigned to handle Senro¡¯s matters, I still have to go and take a look. After all, he came from Russia. There are many things that I need to do¡­¡± ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m fine. If you have anything to do, go ahead. I¡¯ll listen to the doctor¡¯s arrangements and cooperate with the treatment obediently. I¡¯ll try my best not to miss the final exams at school in a few days.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly spoke softly and interrupted him. Xu Chengfeng paused and looked at her. Zuo Yue turned her eyes away at the same time and no longer looked at him. Her voice was weak and soft, but it was heard clearly in the quiet ward.¡±In the future, you don¡¯t have to care about me no matter what you do. I won¡¯t cause trouble for you again.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng could hear the determination in her words. After looking at her for a moment, he sat down beside the bed and held her hand that was beside the blanket. Zuo Yue was about to pull her hand away from his hand without batting an eyelid, but Xu Chengfeng used a little force to hold her hand firmly. She could not pull her hand away, so she could only look up at him. ¡°Don¡¯t make any decisions, and don¡¯t suffer alone. Leave everything to me. I hope that your heart can be as calm as you are, and not make a random decision.¡±Xu Chengfeng seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He held her hand tightly and gave her a firm determination.¡±No matter what.¡± Zuo Yue did not answer. She only looked down at the hand he held in her hand. His hand was very big and warm, as if it could wrap everything around her. She still didn¡¯t say anything and only nodded quietly. Seeing her current attitude, Xu Chengfeng knew that she was still in a state of lingering fear, so he did not force her. He only patted the back of her hand gently and said gently,¡±When I come back, I¡¯ll arrange for the people around me to come over and take care of you in the next two days. Cooperate with the treatment well and try to look healthy when you leave the hospital in a few days, okay?¡± Zuo Yue continued to nod and then silently smiled at Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng looked at her smile. This girl clearly did not deliberately flirt with him today just to kiss him, nor did she deliberately provoke him, but he just stared at her smiling face. After looking at it for a moment, he bent down and kissed her lightly between her eyebrows. Zuo Yue was stunned. She looked at his handsome face that was so close to her. However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips unexpectedly. Although it was very light, Zuo Yue was still stunned as if she had lost her soul in an instant. It was not until a long time after Xu Chengfeng left that she came back to her senses. She quietly looked in the direction of the ward door in a daze. ***** Although Zuo Yue was not in a life-threatening situation like the previous gunshot wound, her abdomen and waist still needed to be corrected. Therefore, she had to follow the doctor¡¯s arrangements for three days, including a professional doctor who would come over to massage her waist and abdomen to relieve the bruises under her skin. She recovered very quickly in three days. Zuo Yue could already get out of bed and walk freely. The palm marks on her face were also gone. Other than some faint marks on her forehead where she had been injured previously, she put on her clothes and stood in front of the mirror to look at herself normally. There seemed to be nothing special about her. Tomorrow afternoon was the last day for her, and the day after tomorrow would be the final exam. If she missed the final exam, her mother would definitely suspect something. .. In the past two to three days, the trusted aides and senior nurses arranged by Xu Chengfeng went out to prepare dinner for Zuo Yue and brought it back to the ward. When they saw the empty ward, they were stunned. Zuo Yue went to the barbershop first. Originally, her hair had not been trimmed for a long time. Usually, it was tied up high at the back of her head, revealing her smooth forehead. She sat in the barbershop and asked the stylist to help her trim her hair. At the same time, she cut a thin fringe to cover the area on her forehead that could still be vaguely seen. After the trimming, Zuo Yue went to the nearby area to buy a set of clothes to wear. The coat that she liked the most had been disposed of after it was stained with blood. She had just walked out of the department store with a bag. Before she could step down the stairs in front of the mall, she suddenly saw the familiar dark gray Porsche parked not far from the entrance. Xu Chengfeng seemed to have arrived a while ago. He was standing by the car door. The moment Zuo Yue walked out, his gaze had already stopped on her. After looking at her trimmed hair and the shopping bag in her hand, his gaze finally stopped on her face, which looked quite good. She didn¡¯t expect the hospital to inform him so quickly, nor did she expect him to find her so quickly. She clearly didn¡¯t bring her phone with her when she was discharged from the hospital. Her phone had been broken previously, so he couldn¡¯t have found her through the signal. Zuo Yue stood on the stairs for a while before she walked down. When she reached the car, in order to prevent him from lecturing her, she smiled and picked up the shopping bag in her hand.¡±I was too bored in the hospital. Anyway, I can get out of bed and walk around freely now. It¡¯s not a big deal, so I came out to buy something to relax.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not look at the shopping bag in her hand anymore. Instead, he stared at her face.¡±Why did you cut your hair?¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and touched her thin Liuhai.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t cut much. The length was only trimmed a little, but it was specially left in the sea. The injury on my forehead will probably take a few more days to disappear. I don¡¯t want to be questioned by others when I go back to school for the exam, so I specially cut the hair to cover it. How about it? Do I look especially cute like this?¡± Zuo Yue said as she made a cute pose in front of him. Xu Chengfeng did not say another word. He suddenly reached out his hand. Zuo Yue saw it and instinctively handed the shopping bag in her hand to him, thinking that he was going to help her get her things. In the end, the moment she extended her hand, Xu Chengfeng grabbed her wrist and pulled her fiercely into his arms. Zuo Yue was suddenly hugged by him. Before she could react, she heard him say in her ear,¡±¡±Don¡¯t run around alone again. Don¡¯t make me worry again. Be obedient and stay where I can see you.¡± Zuo Yue leaned against his chest and did not move. She looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled.¡±Uncle, let¡¯s break up.¡± Chapter 1036 - Chapter 1036: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unresigned (121) Chapter 1036: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Unresigned (121) Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He was not surprised, and he did not let go of her. He could tell that this girl had been quietly making some kind of decision these few days. Suddenly, she was so obedient and sensible to a strange extent. She even agreed to whatever he said, but she only rejected all intimacy with him. He still maintained the position of hugging the woman and did not let go. Zuo Yue leaned into his arms and struggled slightly, but Xu Chengfeng hugged her even tighter. However, he didn¡¯t say anything. He just quietly hugged her. It was unknown whether he agreed or disagreed. This was clearly the result he had been looking forward to the most, and it was also the sentence he had been waiting for under his rationality. Zuo Yue held the shopping bag tightly in her hand and did not let go. She looked at the sky and felt the warmth in his arms. She said softly,¡±Anyway, nothing happened between the two of us. Other than those kisses and hugs that forced you to be angry because of my incomprehension, nothing happened¡­Since I was the one who initiated everything, I should end it now. Because you¡¯ve always protected me, it¡¯s not too late to end it now, right? Uncle?¡± ¡°I told you, it¡¯s not suitable for you to make any decisions these few days.¡±Finally, Xu Chengfeng opened his mouth. He pushed her away by an arm¡¯s length and placed his hands on her shoulders. He looked into her smiling eyes and said,¡±¡±I won¡¯t stop you if you want to go back to school for the exam. We¡¯ll talk about this later after the exam.¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him but did not insist on saying anything. She turned around and was about to open the door of the back seat when Xu Chengfeng glanced at her. She paused for a moment and saw that he had already opened the door of the passenger seat. She could only sit in the passenger seat. At the same time, he took her shopping bags and went to the back seat. Xu Chengfeng got into the car, put his hand on the steering wheel, but did not drive immediately, paused for a few seconds, did not know what he was thinking. However, the atmosphere became very gloomy. Zuo Yue glanced at him.¡±Uncle?¡± He should be happy, right? ¡°Uncle, let¡¯s go¡­¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t even look at her. He scolded her coldly and started the engine while Zuo Yue was stunned. The car instantly drove forward. Zuo Yue quickly fastened her seatbelt and turned to look at him. However, Xu Chengfeng remained silent and did not speak. She was puzzled.¡±Uncle, don¡¯t misunderstand. I didn¡¯t mean that I felt unsafe by your side just now. I just¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze still did not turn to look at her, but his voice was low and suppressed.¡±¡±Don¡¯t speak, Zuo Yue. Don¡¯t speak yet.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue did not understand, but she remained silent. Xu Chengfeng did not drive her back to the hospital by force. She had already guessed that he might have planted some people around her to prevent her from being kidnapped on the road like before. Therefore, he already knew when she left, but he did not deliberately send people to stop her. Therefore, he should know that there was nothing wrong with her current physical condition. However, Xu Chengfeng did not send her back to the villa. Instead, he drove aimlessly through the streets of Boston. The speed of the car was neither fast nor slow. He did not say a word. The quiet atmosphere in the car made Zuo Yue almost fall asleep. However, when she thought of his attitude just now, she did not dare to fall asleep. She only instinctively glanced at him occasionally. He did not know how long he had been driving on the streets, from five in the evening to eight in the evening. Finally, Zuo Yue felt that her waist was uncomfortable because she had been sitting for too long. She moved her body slightly and quietly rubbed her waist with her hands. Xu Chengfeng noticed her actions. After glancing at her, he suddenly sped up and brought her back to the villa. When she got out of the car, Xu Chengfeng walked over and opened the car door. Zuo Yue looked at him and got out of the car obediently. Then, she turned around and was about to get her shopping bag when Xu Chengfeng patted her shoulder gently.¡±You go in first. I¡¯ll get it.¡± Seeing that he did not seem to be angry, other than the strange indifference when he was driving, there was no other emotion. Zuo Yue nodded and turned around to enter the villa. After entering the door, Zuo Yue felt that her uncle might say something to her. After all, it was quiet along the way. She could tell that he was thinking about something, even though he had not said anything. Therefore, Zuo Yue took off her coat and sat on the sofa obediently. However, Xu Chengfeng did not say anything after he entered the room and put down her shopping bag. He went back to the bedroom to change his clothes and came out to see that she was still sitting on the sofa. He asked calmly as if nothing had happened,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t eat anything before you left the hospital?¡± Zuo Yue shook her head lightly.¡± They should have told you. I snuck out when they went to buy dinner for me.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened and he said expressionlessly,¡±¡±Your answer is very frank.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already sent people to follow me anyway, so there¡¯s no need to lie now.¡± Zuo Yue stuck out her tongue.¡± Xu Chengfeng called a nearby supermarket to buy some ingredients. The supermarket staff quickly sent the ingredients he needed over. After that, Xu Chengfeng personally cooked for her. It seemed that he was not the same person who drove the car to intercept the assassins on the way and then jumped into the car with a swift and terrifying skill to save her forcefully. However, it was indeed the same person. For some reason, the atmosphere was strangely calm. Shouldn¡¯t Uncle say something? Do you agree to separate from me or not? Or talk to her? He didn¡¯t say anything. Other than the fact that he had been driving outside for such a long time, he was taking care of her as usual. He even told her to go upstairs to change and rest while she was waiting for dinner. He would call her down when it was time to eat. Everything was the same as before. It was peaceful and quiet, as if the two of them had never been together, and there was no emotion that they were about to separate. Zuo Yue found it strange but could not pinpoint what was strange. After changing her clothes, she applied some medicine on her forehead that was covered by the sea. Then, she went downstairs to eat. After eating, Xu Chengfeng was still talking on the phone with @ Te with a calm attitude. Zuo Yue had been waiting downstairs for a long time, but she did not see any special reaction from him. Could it be that he had changed back to his uncle¡¯s identity so quickly? He didn¡¯t even need to say a conclusion? Zuo Yue had no choice but to go upstairs and return to the bedroom. After closing the door, she lay on the bed without moving. She had clearly made the decision not to drag him down and not let him bear anything for her. Why did she suddenly become so unwilling? She raised her hands and grabbed her hair, burying her face in the pillow in frustration. Chapter 1037 - Chapter 1037: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sleeping Together (122) Chapter 1037: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Sleeping Together (122) Late at night. Zuo Yue had insomnia for a long time. Finally, she fell asleep in a daze. However, she did not sleep very well. Her mind was in a mess. No one knew what she was thinking. She barely turned over, but she suddenly felt as if she was lying in a warm embrace. She opened her eyes in shock and saw Xu Chengfeng, who had entered her room at some point in time, lying beside her. He had even hugged her in his arms at some point in time. It was as if she had fallen asleep in his arms for a long time. She thought that she was dreaming about something. After staring at him for a long time, she suddenly closed her eyes and opened them again. She was very sure that everything in front of her was not a dream. Zuo Yue stared stiffly at the man who seemed to have fallen asleep next to her. She carefully tried to withdraw from his embrace, but Xu Chengfeng suddenly reached out and pulled her back into his embrace. He held her tightly, as if he did not give her any space or leeway, much less a chance to escape. His voice was low and husky like he had just woken up from a dream, but it was clear and intimate as if nothing had happened. There was even a hint of coaxing.¡±Don¡¯t move around. Be good and sleep.¡± Zuo Yue was completely stunned. She looked in disbelief at the man who had automatically reverted back to his uncle identity.¡±Uncle¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng opened his eyes and looked at her indifferently.¡±Go to sleep. If you have anything to say, say it tomorrow.¡± He hugged her with one arm and placed his other hand gently on the back of her head, pressing her head gently into his embrace. At the same time, he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, but he did not do anything else. He just hugged her like this, quietly hugging her, as if he really just wanted to sleep. This way, Zuo Yue could not fall asleep at all. Previously, she had insomnia because of her worries, and now¡­ She quietly lowered her eyes and saw that she was wearing her pajamas neatly. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s clothes were also neat and tidy without a trace of mess. Was he here to hug her to sleep like this? No more intimacy? He didn¡¯t have anything to say about what she said during the day. What was this? Agree to break up or disagree? Zuo Yue¡¯s head was not very obedient as she looked around. She really could not fall asleep. As a result, just as she turned over, Xu Chengfeng gently pressed her down again. ¡°Be good and sleep. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± ¡°How can I sleep with you hugging me like this¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was low and hoarse, sounding a little aggrieved. Xu Chengfeng opened his eyes again. In the dark room, under the moonlight outside the window, his eyes were so dark that she could not understand the colors and emotions in them. But now, the two of them were quietly hugging each other on the bed. They were so close that it was as if she could kiss his chin if she turned her head slightly. This distance between their hearts made Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body scream with desire. In the end, she was still in love. How could a teenage girl like her resist such temptation at such a close distance? He, on the other hand, could actually fall asleep after suddenly running over to hug her to sleep! All sorts of thoughts and emotions kept running through Zuo Yue¡¯s little head until Xu Chengfeng suddenly reached out and turned her face over, forcing her to look at him in the dark. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes trembled. Fortunately, the room was very dark now, so he could not see his face gradually turning red. However, he was still afraid that his hand could feel her face gradually burning up. She was the one who had suggested ending it. If he found out that she was blushing and her heart was beating fast, wouldn¡¯t she be embarrassed? She hurriedly turned her face away, but Xu Chengfeng still held her chin. His black eyes locked onto the panic and embarrassment in her eyes. He said softly,¡±Insomniac?¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes and muttered softly,¡±¡±I finally fell asleep, but who knew that you would suddenly appear on my bed?¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her. She seemed to feel a trace of restraint in his silence. Zuo Yue could not help but carefully look at his expression in the darkness. Who knew that he would suddenly let go of his hand on her body and retreat at the same time. He stood up and was about to leave. Zuo Yue was stunned and instinctively reached out to grab his sleeve. When Xu Chengfeng froze for a moment, she whispered,¡±¡±Don¡¯t walk the path of the world¡¯s unbecoming.¡± Xu Chengfeng paused. Zuo Yue was still holding his sleeve tightly, her eyes staring at his side profile.¡±Anyway, the two of us can¡¯t sleep together. Since it¡¯s just¡­ He just hugged her to sleep for a night¡­Then¡­ Then don¡¯t leave¡­¡± Zuo Yue did not know where she got the courage to say such words. Even though she was a little annoyed by the various emotions in her mind, her hands still instinctively grabbed his sleeves tightly and did not let go. Xu Chengfeng had not gotten out of bed yet. He did not leave because of Zuo Yue¡¯s words. After a moment of silence, he suddenly held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and gently lifted her hand to his chest, close to the location of his heartbeat. This silent action made Zuo Yue¡¯s heart jump violently. However, he only maintained such a simple but shocking action and said softly,¡±¡± Zuo Yue, there are not many things that can go your way in life. If you know how to give up and understand that it is better to have a short pain than a long pain, then the future will be bright and bright.¡± Zuo Yue sat beside him and did not speak. She placed her hand on his chest and felt his steady heartbeat. Suddenly, she remembered a China Hong Kong movie she had watched when she was a child. Zixia Fairy jumped into Joker¡¯s heart and saw his heart, leaving a drop of her tears in his heart. However, when she felt his heartbeat, it was so quiet that it felt as if the two of them were the only ones left in the world. She really wanted to burrow into his heart and never come out again. Unfortunately, life was not a drama. Her choice and his rationality were guiding her in the direction of her future. Was it sinking or rationality? Zuo Yue slowly lowered her head until Xu Chengfeng suddenly reached out and hugged her.¡±¡±Sleep.¡± Zuo Yue was very obedient and lay down with him again. Xu Chengfeng pulled the blanket over the two of them. Zuo Yue rested her head on his shoulder and placed her hand on his heart, listening to his steady heartbeat. Even if he was sleeping on the same bed and covered by a blanket, could he still be so calm? Zuo Yue quietly raised her other hand to touch her heart. She could feel her heart beating wildly. She forced herself to close her eyes and stop thinking. However, her heart was beating too fast. It was completely different from the stable and calm rhythm that her other hand touched. She turned her head on his shoulder, trying to get out of his arms to calm herself down. However, just as she was about to leave, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand pressed her hand firmly against his heart. Chapter 1038 - Chapter 1038: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kiss (123) Chapter 1038: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Kiss (123) She could not pull her hand out successfully. Zuo Yue turned to look at him, only to see his deep black eyes open again. This time, it was not as calm as before. It was like a strange silence before a beast was about to explode. Zuo Yue looked at him stiffly and tried to pull her hand out again. Xu Chengfeng simply retracted his large palm and held her hand in his palm. The two of them lay on the same bed in the dark night. They did not speak to each other and only communicated with their eyes. The anxiety and uneasiness in her eyes, and the dangerous storm that was gradually approaching in his seemingly calm eyes, everything seemed to be a terrible mime. It was only when Zuo Yue felt a little pain from his hand that she tried her best not to make a sound. However, with just a slight movement, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have felt something and suddenly let go of her hand. Zuo Yue successfully pulled her hand out of his. She lowered her head and looked at her own hand. She rubbed it silently and said softly,¡±¡±Uncle, what I said to you today came from the bottom of my heart. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. Don¡¯t worry about hurting me. ¡± You should know that since I can harden my heart and say those words, no harm is considered to be harmful to me now. I¡¯m just accepting reality. I can accept anything, really.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He just lay quietly on the bed and raised one arm to the back of his head as a pillow. The other hand was slowly raised silently, as if he wanted her to hand over her hand. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand had just broken free from his grip. She sat at the side and stared blankly at his quiet actions. She instinctively raised her hand and handed it over. Xu Chengfeng held her hand gently in his palm. His slender fingers gently caressed her fingers and the back of her hand, causing Zuo Yue to tremble from head to toe. ¡°Go back to school tomorrow and do your revision. Then, focus on your exams and don¡¯t think about anything else.¡±When Xu Chengfeng opened his mouth, his voice was clear and calm. Zuo Yue looked at him and did not speak. She didn¡¯t want to admit that she might be a little coquettish right now, but she was indeed indescribably disappointed. When she said that it was over, he agreed to end it. He didn¡¯t even plan to have a chance to calm down. He suddenly came over to hug her to sleep, but he didn¡¯t do anything. When he finally spoke, he only told her to focus on the exam. ¡± After the exam, ask the Zuo family to send someone over to pick you up. I won¡¯t send you back,¡± Xu Chengfeng continued, his voice light.¡±Too many things have been delayed recently, but at least you¡¯ve thought it through. This matter is more important than anything else.¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°I¡¯m very pleased that you¡¯ve calmed down at such a crazy age, and that you¡¯ve taken the initiative to end all these messy feelings and restrictions.¡± She just didn¡¯t want to drag him down, didn¡¯t want to be a burden to him, and didn¡¯t want him to pay any price for her willfulness. She loved him so deeply that she did not want to see him suffer because of her. Zuo Yue could not say these words, even if he knew about it, but such a silent scene that was like a pantomime really made her unable to cry. ¡°After you go home, you should rest at home. You have been injured a lot by my side during this period of time. Your body is your own, so you have to protect it. I will always place people around you to ensure your safety. Until those people confirm that you and I have nothing to do with each other and give up on attacking you, I will consider whether to evacuate those people according to the situation. In short, from now on, you can rest assured that your safety will no longer be threatened.¡± Zuo Yue remained silent until Xu Chengfeng sat up and looked at her in the darkness.¡±¡±Go to sleep. I¡¯m going back to sleep.¡± He let go of her hand and got off the bed at the same time. When he got up by the bed, Zuo Yue looked up at his tall and straight back. His tall figure was enough to block most of the cold moonlight that shone on the bed from the window. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and looked at him. She suppressed the sobs in her nose and hid her hands in her sleeves into fists. Just as Xu Chengfeng was about to turn around and leave without looking at her again, she suddenly said softly,¡±¡±Uncle, we won¡¯t see each other again after I come back from winter vacation, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He walked towards the door as if he had not heard anything. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red. She resisted the urge to rush over and pull him back. She recalled the scene where Senro used her to threaten her uncle, the off-road vehicles that surrounded her, the gun in his hand, and the scene where her uncle rushed into the speeding car and jumped down to save her without caring about his own safety. She remembered that half of her body was covered in blood as she leaned into his embrace. She remembered what she had said before, that she did not want to become his weakness¡­ Zuo Yue quietly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were rolling down her face. She turned to look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back and saw that he had already walked to the door and opened the bedroom door. She quietly sniffed and did not say anything to stop him. Her nails dug into her palms. Suddenly, the door that had been opened was suddenly closed. Zuo Yue froze. She was shocked to see Xu Chengfeng suddenly turn around and walk over quickly. Before she could react, he suddenly leaned over, held her head, and kissed her fiercely. The storm-like kiss caused her brain to freeze instantly. She looked at the face in front of her in a daze and let his kiss sweep through all her nerves. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss was hot and fierce. Zuo Yue felt some pain on her lips. She frowned slightly and gradually came back to her senses. She struggled instinctively, but he held her head firmly and did not let go. He even used the strength of her struggle to spread his legs and kneel on her bed, firmly imprisoning her under his legs. Zuo Yue felt that her back was suspended, but she could not sit properly in this position. She was so shocked that she subconsciously raised her hand and grabbed his collar. Xu Chengfeng took advantage of the fact that she was falling down and pressed her down on the bed. Zuo Yue took the opportunity to raise her hand and push him away, but Xu Chengfeng directly held her hands. His ten fingers were intertwined and pressed on both sides of her body. His frenzied kisses continuously invaded everything in her mouth, even robbing her of all her breath. That snatching sucking kiss was more like sucking all the oxygen out of her body¡­ A white light flashed in front of Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes and she almost fainted. Her body was completely suppressed by him and she could not resist. In the end, she gave up resisting and allowed him to kiss her passionately on her lips. She allowed him to firmly suppress her limbs as if he was invading her. Until Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss gradually moved down to her chin and neck, as if he was deliberately trying to leave a mark on her body. His kiss was forceful and urgent. Chapter 1039 - Chapter 1039: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-I Have Loved You Deeply (124) Chapter 1039: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-I Have Loved You Deeply (124) Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss gradually moved down to her chin and neck, as if he was deliberately leaving a mark on her body. He kissed her forcefully and urgently. Zuo Yue could not help but groan even though she was only wearing thin clothes. In the end, she could not hold it in. Under his hot lips and tongue, she suppressed it for a long time and finally let out a small moan. It was this whine that caused Xu Chengfeng¡¯s rope of desire hanging over his rationality to instantly snap¡­ He swallowed her breathing and moaning, biting her lips and tongue until his hand reached into the hem of her nightdress and invaded the muscles around her waist. Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body suddenly trembled violently. She even looked at the ceiling in a daze. His hand quickly and accurately circled around her waist and back. Zuo Yue¡¯s breathing was about to stop. He kissed her at the same time. His kisses landed on her lips, on her cheeks, on her nose, and on her forehead. The movements under his palm did not stop. That different kind of teasing and strange feeling made her body tense up. Zuo Yue¡¯s tears suddenly fell, but it was not fear or excitement. She did not know what kind of emotion it was. She even hoped that this moment would never stop. She hoped that this man who had lost his mind would continue to lose his mind like this¡­ When Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand was already moving down her abdomen, he suddenly stopped. He kissed her fair neck and buried himself in it. His hand stopped below her abdomen and did not move. The two of them were pressed against each other. He pressed against her body and her chest was pressed against his chest. He did not move but he was desperately trying to calm his breathing. His hot breath blew on her neck and Zuo Yue trembled again and again. She could feel how fast his heart was beating and how frantic it was. She could also feel how tense his entire body was because of his restraint. She could even feel how dangerous the spot between her legs was. However, even at this point, he did not move anymore. Zuo Yue was seduced until her entire body was boiling hot. She was so sensitive that his breath brushed against her chest that she almost cried out, but he actually stopped moving! He actually stopped moving just like that! His hand was clearly still below her abdomen. If he moved a little further¡­ Zuo Yue was speechless and conflicted as she was pressed down by him and could not move. After an unknown period of time, the man who had been calming his emotions and breathing stood up on top of her. Feeling his movements, Zuo Yue suddenly raised her bracelet and hugged his neck, pulling it down fiercely. She looked up and suddenly kissed her back. Xu Chengfeng, who had barely managed to pull himself back from the edge of desire, stiffened. He was about to push her away, but Zuo Yue refused to let go no matter what. She tried to kiss him and flirt with him, but Xu Chengfeng suddenly pulled her arm away and pushed her an arm¡¯s length away, looking down at her. His eyes were filled with a dangerous desire that had yet to subside. He stared into her eyes.¡±Let¡¯s stop here, Zuo Yue.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him blankly. ¡°Ending is the best choice. We should all return to our original standards. This is the fairest way for you, and it¡¯s also a release for me.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked down at her, then slowly let go of her and retreated. He tidied up his messy clothes, turned around, and walked out quickly. Zuo Yue lay on the bed in a daze. She heard the sound of the door opening and closing. This time, he really left and did not return. But why did he come back just now? Was he telling her that he had loved her before? He wasn¡¯t unmoved, he wasn¡¯t uninterested, he loved her, right? ***** Review, review, review. He was revising like crazy. The next day, Zuo Yue had no choice but to stay in school for the night to prepare for the exam. That night, in Julie and Vera¡¯s dormitory, the three girls went into a state of revision like crazy. Zuo Yue had missed too many classes in the next few months, but the two of them did not study hard usually. Now, they were in a state of last-minute cram. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to make it to the second day. Zuo Yue barely managed to sleep at 4 am, but she woke up at 6:30 am to clean up. The exam started at 8:30 in the morning. From yesterday¡¯s crazy revision to the current exam stage, Zuo Yue had deliberately not thought about anything else for two whole days. She tried her best to completely immerse herself in the atmosphere of the exam, not to think about that person, not to think about those things. Zuo Yue sat on the bench outside the exam hall as if she had been completely emptied out. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Although Juliana was also studying last night, she did not work as hard as her. She went to bed early. When she walked out of the examination hall, she saw Zuo Yue sitting there and falling asleep. She hurriedly went over to wake her up and dragged her back to the dormitory so that she could lie down and sleep. This sleep was simply a night of darkness. When Zuo Yue finally had enough sleep and opened her eyes, the sky was already bright. She stared blankly at the bed in the dormitory and suddenly sat up. She picked up her phone to look at the time, only to realize that her phone had run out of battery. He borrowed Julie¡¯s phone to check and found out that it was already past seven in the morning. After checking the time, Zuo Yue sat by the bed in a daze and looked at the sky outside the window without saying a word. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Yesterday, I saw that you were doing well in the exam. Did you not do well?¡±Vena saw that Zuo Yue was thinking about something, so he sat beside her and asked. Zuo Yue shook her head.¡± No, I didn¡¯t do well, but I didn¡¯t do badly either. I think I¡¯ll definitely pass.¡±¡± ¡°Then why do you look like it¡¯s the end of the world?¡± Chapter 1040 - Chapter 1040: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hate to Goodbye (125) Chapter 1040: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Hate to Goodbye (125) Did she look like she was facing the end of the world? Zuo Yue¡¯s expression changed. She stood up and tidied up her books and things. She casually found an excuse and left. Because Xu Chengfeng¡¯s flight left at 3:30 am today. He might go to Russia first, then to China. But no matter where she went, Zuo Yue was unwilling to admit that that night might have been the last time she and Xu Chengfeng met in this life. Even if he had the chance to see her again in the future, he would definitely take the initiative to avoid this opportunity. He would definitely avoid her and never appear in her life again. When he returned to the villa, he opened the door and found that everything inside was the same as before. Zuo Yue had the thought that Xu Chengfeng had not left because he was worried that she had not called him. She walked in quickly, but she did not see Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure after searching every room. She turned around unwillingly and returned to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bedroom. When she saw the clean and tidy dark blue blanket, she quickly walked to the wardrobe and opened it. It was empty inside. If Xu Chengfeng had only left temporarily, he would not have taken everything. But he took all the clothes away. Zuo Yue turned around and rushed into the bathroom. She realized that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s toiletries were also gone. He probably took what he needed and threw away what he needed. There was nothing left. Zuo Yue stood by the bathroom door and looked at the things that belonged to her for a long time before she slowly took a few steps back until she returned to the sofa. She lowered her eyes and looked at the brand new crystal coffee table in front of her. The scenes of the past few months flashed in her mind. Never return to this villa again? We don¡¯t have to see each other anymore, right? Zuo Yue leaned on the sofa and looked up at the chandelier. Suddenly, she smiled, but her smile was uglier than crying. Suddenly, she remembered something. She got up and quickly charged her phone. After turning on her phone, she used various methods to find missed calls and message boxes, including all communication software that could contact Xu Chengfeng. However, it was all quiet. He had not called her for the past two days. He had not even called her before he left, let alone left a word. The last thing he said to her was the four words he said to her when he left the bed that night. It ended here. Zuo Yue looked at the things on the screen of her phone without leaving a trace. She lowered her head and buried her face in the pillow. ***** International Flight VIP Arrival Channel Xu Chengfeng, who had transferred from Boston to Washington, was waiting for the next flight. He walked to the departure hall and looked at the sky outside. ¡°BOSS.¡± Ainte suddenly walked over and stood behind Xu Chengfeng. He said softly and respectfully,¡±¡±We have already contacted the people from the Zuo family in Los Angeles. The Zuo family will send someone to pick Miss Zuo up in the next two days.¡± .. Zuo Yue unknowingly slept for another day on the bed. When she woke up, the sky was already dark. When she found herself in the bedroom of the villa, she subconsciously thought that she would see the dinner that Xu Chengfeng had prepared for her on the dining table as soon as she opened the door and walked downstairs. She thought that she would see Xu Chengfeng still there as soon as she opened the door and walked out. However, when she opened the door, she found that the corridor was dark. The automatic sensor lights gradually lit up because she walked out. Zuo Yueyi walked down the stairs and looked at the dark living room. Finally, he turned on the light in the living room and looked around at the quiet surroundings. He looked at the empty dining table for a long time. He was so hungry that he turned around and went into the kitchen. There were still some noodles, eggs, vegetables, fish, and meat in the fridge. They had just been bought and were still fresh. Zuo Yue took out the ingredients from the fridge and boiled some water to cook herself a bowl of simple vegetable and egg noodles. Finally, she walked to the dining table and sat down. She picked up her chopsticks and put some noodles into her mouth. She immediately frowned. The noodles weren¡¯t fully cooked and were still a little hard. Although the eggs and vegetables were cooked, they were a mess. Most importantly, she forgot to add salt. She put down her chopsticks after one bite. She stared at the messy noodles for a long time. She was still hungry, but she was not in the mood to eat takeout. She picked up her chopsticks and put the noodles into her mouth again. Although it tasted bad, she still ate it bit by bit as if she was numb. After finishing the last bowl of noodles, her stomach felt extremely uncomfortable. She took the bowl into the kitchen to wash it, then walked out and sat on the sofa alone in a daze. She didn¡¯t know what the latest American drama series was playing on the TV, but the bloody scenes on the screen didn¡¯t make her feel anything. Because she had slept for too long during the day, she was barely sleepy that night. It was not until dawn that she grabbed a blanket and lay on the sofa, curled up, and fell asleep. The next day, he slept the whole day in a daze. When he woke up at night, he went to cook a bowl of noodles. This time, the noodles were cooked and he remembered to add salt, but it still didn¡¯t taste good. It was not as delicious as his uncle¡¯s cooking. Even if Uncle just used a bread maker to bake bread, it would taste better than hers. At the thought of this, Zuo Yue simply got up and took a pile of bread to bake. However, it still tasted terrible after being baked. It would be a pity to throw away the baked bread. Therefore, she had been eating toast for the past two days. She never expected that her blissful winter vacation would start in such a tragic way. After eating non-nutritious food for a few days, she finally collapsed on the sofa with a stomachache. Even when Julie called her and told her that her final exam results had unexpectedly exceeded the passing line by a lot, and that she had missed so many classes because she had been on sick leave, she was still able to obtain good results and was specially praised by the professor. These things did not make Zuo Yue feel at ease at all. She felt like she was about to die¡­ His heart was empty, and his world was blank. Zuo Yue had never been in a relationship before, so she never knew that people could be so painful and uncomfortable when they were in a relationship. She also never knew that a breakup could really torture a person to death. She really felt that if no one came to save her, she might be exposed in this expensive and empty villa. However, she would rather die than call Xu Chengfeng. On the third day, Zuo Yue¡¯s stomach hurt so much that she did not even have the strength to cook a bowl of noodles for herself. She did not want to eat takeout either. She just lay on the sofa and covered her head with the blanket. She wanted to force herself to continue sleeping. If she fell asleep, she would not be hungry and her stomach would not hurt. After waking up and sleeping in a daze, Zuo Yue felt that she might have heard wrongly when she fell asleep again. She seemed to hear the sound of a car approaching from outside and the sound of someone unlocking the door¡­ Chapter 1041 - Chapter 1041: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Return (126) Chapter 1041: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Return (126) Hearing that voice, Zuo Yue suddenly poked her head out from the blanket. She really thought she was hearing things. Who else would have the password lock or key to this villa? It was New Year¡¯s Day after tonight. Could it be that her uncle was unwilling to let her spend the New Year¡¯s Eve here alone, so he specially flew back to accompany her? Zuo Yue quickly sat up and took the blanket from her body. She was about to stand up and walk to the door to take a look. The door in front of her was suddenly opened from the outside in. The person who walked in shocked Zuo Yue and she immediately froze on the spot. ¡°Miss Sun, how did you lose so much weight?¡± When she saw Wang Ma walk in, Zuo Yue fell back on the sofa as if she had lost all her strength. Wang Ma was a servant of the Zuo family. She was the closest person to her in the Zuo family besides her parents. She had also grown up under Wang Ma¡¯s eyes. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t expect that the person who suddenly came here today would be Wang Ma, and she didn¡¯t expect Wang Ma to have the key to this place. ¡°You look so pale. Have you been locked in the room for the past two days?¡±Wang Ma looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s haggard appearance with a pained expression. She walked over and gently reached out to touch Zuo Yue¡¯s forehead. She was only relieved when she was sure that Zuo Yue did not have a fever. ¡°Why is it you? Mother Wang? How did you get the key to this place?¡± Zuo Yue was disappointed, but she hadn¡¯t seen Wang Ma for a long time. In the end, she still pulled out a smile. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s forced smile, Wang Ma did not ask much. After all, an eighteen-year-old girl would inevitably have something on her mind. As a servant of the Zuo family, she would not ask too much. Wang Ma only smiled and put the blanket on the sofa over Zuo Yue.¡±Look at your thin appearance. Although this room is very warm, you should wear more clothes. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± As she spoke, Mother Wang placed the keys and room card on the coffee table.¡±Madam gave this to me. Madam said that Mr. Xu had called the Zuo family before he left and asked them to arrange for someone to pick you up. He also said that you would probably not be able to return to Los Angeles until after your final exams. Therefore, Madam specially waited until yesterday to send me here. I just arrived here after a day of flight, but the ticket back has already been prepared. I have your ID card here in Los Angeles. We¡¯ll just rush to the airport later.¡± ¡°Are you leaving now?¡± Zuo Yue asked in a daze as she suddenly turned her eyes to look outside the door. She knew that it was impossible, but she still inexplicably hoped that she could see that person again before the arrival of the new year. [Of course, what time is it now?] Our flight back to Los Angeles is in three hours. Miss Sun, you have one hour to pack your luggage.¡±Mother Wang smiled amiably.¡±But if you¡¯re too lazy to clean up, I can help you.¡± Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and did not move. ¡°I knew you were lazy again, so I didn¡¯t call you in advance to tell you to pack up. Anyway, I was the one who had to clean up, so it doesn¡¯t make any difference whether I told you in advance or not.¡±Wang Ma smiled as she turned around and looked around.¡±Which is your room? I¡¯ll help you pack your luggage.¡± ¡°No need, Wang Ma. I just want to take some clothes back. Anyway, the Zuo family has a lot of my clothes, so I don¡¯t have to pack too many things. I have to come back to live after the holidays.¡±Zuo Yue said as she stood up and was about to return to her room. ¡°You¡¯re still coming back?¡± Wang Ma looked at her in confusion.¡± But before I came, I heard Madam say that after your winter vacation, she¡¯ll buy you an apartment here and let you live in your own apartment.¡±¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at her.¡± Wang Ma shook her head.¡± I¡¯m not very sure. It seems that Mr. Xu and Madam had a phone call, and then Madam told me to take your luggage with me when I came. She also said that Mr. Xu might not have time to come back to take care of you in the future. It¡¯s not convenient for you to live alone in this villa, so she arranged an apartment of a moderate size for you.¡± Was it because Little Uncle had called his mother? Did Little Uncle not intend to let her continue to live here? He took all his things. Now, she had to move everything away. What would happen to this villa in the future? Sold? Transfer it to someone else¡¯s name? Or rent it out? Or should he just stay here without anyone? Zuo Yue didn¡¯t dare to think about it, but Wang Ma had already followed her upstairs. When she found her bedroom, she went straight in and opened the wardrobe to help her pack her clothes. Wang Ma had always been like her mother, so there was nothing that she couldn¡¯t see or touch. Zuo Yue sat on the bed in a daze. After Wang Ma tidied up for a while, she turned around and returned to her bed. When she opened the drawer, she put some of Zuo Yue¡¯s belongings into the suitcase. Suddenly, she saw a seven-colored doll in a crystal box. She didn¡¯t remember Zuo Yue having such a thing with her, so she immediately asked,¡±Miss Sun, do you want to take these dolls with you? It seemed to be a little heavy, and she wondered if it would be inconvenient to hold it.¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at the dolls and recalled the time when Xu Chengfeng helped her buy the dolls. After a moment of silence, she said,¡±¡±Take him away.¡± Wang Ma glanced at her. Although she didn¡¯t know what Zuo Yue was feeling right now, she could tell from her eyes that these dolls were very important to her. Thus, Mother Wang carefully placed the crystal box and the doll at the bottom of the suitcase and wrapped them in soft clothes to prevent them from getting hurt. Seeing her mother-in-law who could understand her feelings so well, she did not ask much, but she did everything to the best of her ability. Moreover, she was gentle and quiet, making Zuo Yue feel as if she had returned to the atmosphere of the Zuo family where there was someone by her side to take care of her every day. She was Old Master Zuo¡¯s granddaughter, the young lady of the Zuo family. Nothing had ever troubled her since she was young. However, she had never expected that she would be covered in wounds in just a few months when she was eighteen and knew what love was for the first time. An hour later. Wang Ma carried two suitcases and looked at Zuo Yue, who had already finished dressing. She stood behind her and said softly,¡±Miss Sun, is there anything else you need to take away? We can take the opportunity ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue responded and turned around to walk to the door. Seeing Zuo Yue suddenly stop in her tracks, Mother Wang directly pushed open the door and walked out. The villa became even more empty. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and suddenly looked back at the hall behind her. It was already night time. The lights in the villa were all off. It was dark and quiet. Chapter 1042 - Chapter 1042: So Close So Far (127) Chapter 1042: So Close So Far (127) The lights in the corridor on the second floor seemed to no longer sense any sound and would not light up again. Looking at everything behind her, Zuo Yue fell into a long silence. She thought that love was the most beautiful thing in the world, but she never thought that before she could get everything she wanted, when everything was about to be completely pulled out of her life, everything would be so desolate and painful. ¡°Miss Sun, did you leave something behind?¡±Wang Ma turned around and asked her. Zuo Yue paused for a moment before shaking her head gently.¡±¡±No more.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go. If we¡¯re any later, we won¡¯t be able to catch the plane.¡± Zuo Yue turned around and walked out of the door. She closed the door and did not look back. ***** A week later¡­ The Zuo family in the United States. ¡°Zuo Yue went to Boston to study for half a year. How did she come back with such lousy results?¡±Old man Zuo saw Zuo Yue¡¯s exam results and walked into the hall, muttering to himself. At that time, Zuo Yue was sitting on the sofa by the window with a cat in her arms. Both the cat and the person were curled up lazily on the sofa and basking in the sun outside the window. When she heard the old man¡¯s scolding after entering the door, she pretended not to hear it and continued to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep. ¡°Not long ago, Zuo Yue was hospitalized due to a severe case of pneumonias. After that, she seemed to have fallen ill again. She was hospitalized continuously and delayed quite a number of classes. I don¡¯t think she did anything wrong with her results.¡±Father Zuo said with a smile as he walked in. ¡°My grandchildren should all be outstanding. Although that child Hancheng hasn¡¯t come back for so many years, his examination results have never made us worry. Now look at Zuo Yue, is she really the biological daughter of our Zuo family? Why haven¡¯t I seen her come back with full marks before?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at the old man who was holding a walking stick and criticizing her. Before her father could put in a good word for her, she let go of the cat in her arms and sat up.¡±Grandpa, can you not mention my brother every time you mention me? Or when he mentioned my brother, he scolded me along the way?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with scolding you? Look at your results. You still have the cheek to talk back to me?¡±Old Master Zuo turned around and glared at her.¡±¡±Also, can you not keep a bunch of cats at home every time? The few months that you were away from the Zuo family, the house was much quieter, but the moment you came back, you brought those cats back! Don¡¯t you know that your grandfather hates animals the most?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± You know these cats too. They were all kept by my side. Before I went to Boston, I left them at a friend¡¯s house. When I came back, I brought all the cats back. They¡¯re not new. If you want to scold them, you¡¯ve already scolded me in the past. There¡¯s no need to dig up these old scores.¡± ¡°You!¡± Old Master Zuo looked at her angrily.¡±¡±Wretched girl, you went out for half a year and learned how to talk back after coming back, right?¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She knew that she would be beaten up by her grandfather every day after she returned home. In the past, her brother grew up by her grandfather¡¯s side. She did not know how her brother endured her grandfather¡¯s temper for so many years. However, in the end, his grandfather still personally angered his most proud grandson away. He was so angry that he didn¡¯t come back for five years. Even in this state, this old man still didn¡¯t know how to change his temper. It seemed that he wouldn¡¯t stop until he angered everyone in the family away. After all, Zuo Yue was a girl in the family. Her parents still protected her more or less. Moreover, she was still young, so there was a reason for them to protect her. Even Wang Ma would occasionally speak up for her. However, because her brother had carried too much responsibility for the Zuo family, even if everyone could not stand it, they could not protect her brother too much. In the end, her grandfather still forced her brother to leave. It started five years ago. At that time, Zuo Yue had already looked down on everything in the family. The Zuo family was just a place with money and power but no human feelings. Her parents were good to her, but they were still busy with all kinds of important matters between the family and the company. They didn¡¯t have much time and attention to themselves. After returning to this house, her only interest was to take care of the cat and play with it. From time to time, she would take advantage of her grandfather¡¯s anger to argue with him. However, whenever Grandpa mentioned her brother, she would get very angry! ¡°Dad, Zuo Yue hasn¡¯t even turned twenty yet, so don¡¯t be calculative with her. Besides, you know that she was hospitalized with pneumonias at that time. She will definitely do well in the next semester.¡±Father Zuo tried to smooth things over. Old Master Zuo looked at Zuo Yue expressionlessly again. Seeing that she was sitting lazily on the sofa without moving, he said angrily,¡±¡±You¡¯re already eighteen years old. What do you look like? Chengxin comes to our house often. Why can¡¯t you learn from that Zhishu?¡± ¡°What happened to Chengxin? Why was she so good? If she was really good, would my brother leave the United States just to not marry her?¡±Zuo Yue retorted. ¡°You!¡± Zuo Yue stared back at him fearlessly, then reluctantly picked up the cat at her feet under the gaze of Father Zuo, turned around and left. ¡°The wretched girl is getting more and more insensible. Hurry up and arrange for someone to marry off so that I won¡¯t be annoyed by her wandering around in front of me every day.¡±The old man¡¯s muttering voice came from behind. Zuo Yue did not look back. She was about to go back to her attic to find some peace and quiet when the butler, Uncle Chen, ordered a few people to carry a big box in the front yard. ¡± What¡¯s in this box?¡± Zuo Yue asked curiously.¡± Uncle Chen glanced at her and replied with a smile,¡±Miss Sun, this is the frozen prawn that was specially ordered from Russia. It was just flown over. The old man usually liked to eat seafood and knew that it was the season to eat ice prawns, so he specially ordered a big box back and sent it to the kitchen in a while.¡± When she heard the words ¡®Russia¡¯, a certain figure that Zuo Yue had deliberately forgotten all this time instantly entered her mind. She stood at the side with the cat in her arms and nodded without saying anything else. Zuo Yue turned around and walked away when those people dragged the big box of things to the back. As she walked, she silently looked at the Zuo family¡¯s courtyard in the winter. The earth was round. She had never felt that any place in this world was very far away. But now, she suddenly felt that Russia and China, the other side of the world, were so far away. ¨C [Happy New Year ~ There will be a big update tomorrow!] Many readers did not seem to understand the term ¡°Miss Sun¡± in the main text, but most of them did. Because the old master of the Zuo family was still alive, the head of the Zuo family was the old master Zuo. The servants called the granddaughter of the old master Zuo as Miss Sun, which was a very normal honorific. It was the seniority of the grandchildren.] Chapter 1043 - Chapter 1043: Asking the Moon on the Wind (128) Chapter 1043: Asking the Moon on the Wind (128) The sunlight in front of the window was warm. Zuo Yue was sitting on the balcony of the bedroom with her cat in her arms. She was half-asleep when she heard someone knocking on the door. She opened her eyes and looked back at the bedroom door.¡±Come in.¡± Xu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. She saw Zuo Yue still holding the cat in her arms and leaning on the sofa all day. She could not help but walk over.¡±You¡¯ve probably been back for many days. Why do you always look like you don¡¯t care about anyone? Also, don¡¯t let your cats appear in front of your grandpa as much as possible. These two days, your grandpa has been criticizing you in front of me and your dad. You know that your grandpa has a bad temper, but why do you like to go against him?¡± He knew that his mother¡¯s sudden search for him must have something to do with his grandfather. Zuo Yue leaned against the sofa and did not move. She squinted at the sunlight outside the window and sighed.¡±Mom, Grandpa doesn¡¯t like anyone except for Cheng Xin. Who has he liked in our Zuo family? I rarely go in front of him anymore, but I was scolded by him. If I ran to Grandpa every day like Chengxin, I would probably have been scolded until my heart was made of glass.¡± ¡°You also know that Chengxin comes to see your grandfather every day? Whose grandfather was that? Why can¡¯t you learn from Miss Cheng? Go to the old master and put in a good word. Otherwise, your granddaughter¡¯s status will be overtaken by him.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s lips twitched.¡± Chengxin has a motive. Mom, you know it too. She doesn¡¯t want to be the granddaughter of the family. She has been persisting for years to win Grandpa¡¯s favor. She wants to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Zuo family wholeheartedly.¡±¡± Xu Yuan did not say much when she saw Zuo Yue speak so straightforwardly, but she clearly understood in her heart. Xu Yuan sat on another armchair by the window and looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s lazy appearance.¡±¡±After you came back from Boston, you didn¡¯t seem to be interested in anything.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused for a moment, but she did not answer. She only lowered her head and rubbed the cat in her arms against her neck. Then, she used her hand to stroke the cat in her arms, as if she did not intend to answer. ¡°Is it a relationship problem?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and rubbed her nose.¡± Mom, I¡¯ve been trying my best to gain back the weight that I lost recently. Didn¡¯t you notice that I¡¯ve been eating and drinking well recently and that I look ruddy?¡± He¡¯s just a little lazy. What¡¯s there to worry about?¡± ¡°Before your uncle left, he specially asked us to bring you back. He also said that your relationship wasn¡¯t very good and asked us to be more careful. However, seeing that you could indeed eat and drink after you came back, I wasn¡¯t too worried. Just now, if Wang Ma hadn¡¯t said that you locked yourself in your room every day and that it wasn¡¯t normal for you to be quiet, I wouldn¡¯t have been in the mood to come and talk to you.¡±Xu Yuan said softly,¡± Your grandfather is about to die. There are too many things in the Xu and Zuo families that I need to deal with. I just hope that you can get over it, whether it¡¯s a relationship problem or any unhappy thing. Don¡¯t go into a dead end.¡±¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything else after replying. ¡°Have you called your uncle recently?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± ¡°Did you guys completely cut off contact after you separated?¡±Xu Yuan raised her eyebrows slightly. For some reason, even though there was nothing wrong with her mother¡¯s words, Zuo Yue could still vaguely feel that her mother was trying to probe for something. Could it be that the suspicion from last time had not been completely dispelled? Zuo Yue immediately looked up at her.¡± Uncle is usually so busy. When I was in Boston, he took care of me all because of you, Mom. Now that I¡¯m finally free, he doesn¡¯t even contact the Xu family and doesn¡¯t keep in touch with you. Why would he specially call me?¡± Xu Yuan paused and suddenly changed the topic of the call. She asked directly,¡±Zuo Yue, what¡¯s your impression of your uncle?¡± ¡°What impression?¡± ¡°What do you think of your uncle?¡± ¡°.. It¡¯s alright.¡± Zuo Yue really did not want to mention that person, but her mother kept mentioning Xu Chengfeng¡¯s matter. This made Zuo Yue¡¯s heart, which she had tried hard to suppress and calm down every day, feel like it was being pricked by needles. A person left just like that, and completely cut off contact just like that. He didn¡¯t even send a text message, let alone a phone call. It was as if he had disappeared from her life without a trace. ¡°Your uncle is also at the age where he should get married. I don¡¯t know if his little girlfriend left with him when I went last time.¡±Xu Yuan vaguely mentioned this matter again. ¡°Don¡¯t ask me about this. I don¡¯t know either.¡±Zuo Yue answered vaguely and then pulled the blanket on her body up. She said lazily,¡±¡±I¡¯m so sleepy. I want to sleep.¡± As she spoke, she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep. ¡°Still sleeping? There are twenty-four hours in a day, and you can sleep for sixteen to seventeen hours almost every day. Did you come back from vacation just to sleep? You¡¯re too lazy to act coquettishly with your grandfather. You¡¯re too lazy to participate in the family matters. You only know how to hug these cats every day. Do you plan to spend the rest of your life with cats?¡± Zuo Yue immediately opened her eyes.¡± Even if I really spend the rest of my life with a cat, it¡¯s still much better than finding a person who makes you feel that you can¡¯t be with and worrying about him.¡±¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s expression froze and she immediately looked at her.¡±¡±What did you say?¡± As expected, it was still too impulsive. If her mother had not kept mentioning Xu Chengfeng¡¯s matter, she would have been able to calm down a little. At this moment, she was really anxious and uncomfortable. She simply did not say anything else and pulled the blanket over her head, refusing to communicate. Xu Yuan looked at her thoughtfully for a while, then suddenly turned to look at the row of small dolls in the crystal box on the cabinet beside Zuo Yue¡¯s bed. After thinking about it, she did not want to think about it so complicated. No matter what, she still felt that she might have been thinking too much. Even if Zuo Yue was young and ignorant, Xu Chengfeng would definitely know his limits. Therefore, the relationship between those pure uncles and nephews should have always been that simple. There was nothing else. But who was the person that Zuo Yue said she couldn¡¯t be with? ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± ¡°Aiya, Mom, just take it that I accidentally fell in love with a married man. Is this explanation enough? Stop guessing and let me sleep for a while!¡±Zuo Yue said in a muffled voice as she hid in the blanket. ¡°Zuo Yue, you must have a bottom line.¡± Zuo Yue knew that her mother had believed her random excuse. She did not say a word and buried her face in the cat fur. Her nose gradually turned sour. Chapter 1044 - Chapter 1044: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (129) Chapter 1044: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (129) ¡°Grandpa Zuo, this is the Biluochun tea that my grandfather specially left for you. He knows that you like to drink these tea leaves from China¡¯s tea village the most, so this time, after someone gave him a lot of good tea, he specially divided half of it and asked me to bring it to you.¡± ¡°Oh, good, good. The tea leaves haven¡¯t been brewed yet. Just by the smell, I know it¡¯s good. Chengxin, help me thank Old Master Cheng in your family later. The two of us are almost relying on each other. If it weren¡¯t for a sensible girl like you to cheer us up every day, I think the two of us would be lonely every day¡­¡± ¡°Grandpa Zuo, what are you talking about? You¡¯re so good to me. It¡¯s only right for me to respect you like I respect my own grandfather¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a sensible child, unlike our Zuo Yue girl. She¡¯s not much younger than you, but she¡¯s still like a child all day long.¡± ¡± Grandfather, when Han Cheng returns, I still hope to be able to stay by your side as a relative and show you my filial piety¡­¡± ¡°Sigh, I also hope that you can be a member of the Zuo family. It would be best if you could be my granddaughter-in-law. But I don¡¯t know when Hancheng will come back. It¡¯s been five years, a whole five years¡­¡± Cheng Xin sat beside Old Master Zuo with a bitter smile. Seeing Chengxin¡¯s bitter smile, Old Master Zuo¡¯s heart ached as he said,¡±¡±Chengxin, don¡¯t be sad. Hancheng will come back sooner or later. I¡¯ll see what happens in the next two days. I¡¯ll find an opportunity to call that unfilial grandson and ask him personally when he¡¯ll come back! If you don¡¯t come back now, you might even miss the opportunity to send me off!¡± Zuo Yue received a call from a few old classmates in Los Angeles today and was about to go out. When she passed by the front hall, she saw Miss Cheng, who ran to the Zuo family every day, come again. Hearing the conversation between her grandfather and Cheng Xin, Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at the window and walked out quickly as if she had not heard anything. Old Master Zuo saw Zuo Yue¡¯s expression and was about to say something, but Zuo Yue had already walked out of the door without stopping. Old Master Zuo looked at her back, paused, and sighed faintly. Before he could say anything, Chengxin said,¡±Grandpa Zuo, don¡¯t be angry. Zuo Yue grew up with us. She has been like this since she was young.¡± Old Master Zuo, who was already used to it and was indeed not too angry, heard Chengxin¡¯s words. He did not know where the anger in his heart came from. He looked in the direction where Zuo Yue left and felt that it was even more unpleasant. He snorted coldly and held his walking stick as he said angrily,¡±From Han City to Zuo Yue, none of these two grandsons are obedient!¡± After Zuo Yue walked outside, she felt her nose itch. She guessed that Chengxin and her grandfather must be talking about her behind her back again. She couldn¡¯t be bothered and went out directly. After arriving at the place where she had made an appointment with her old classmate, Zuo Yue walked in and saw a few classmates and friends who had been particularly close to her in Los Angeles sitting on a row of benches by the window. They were holding coffee or milk tea and chatting enthusiastically. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes glanced inside. She did not expect to see Lian Keying here. She recalled the last time she saved her face in that shop because of her uncle¡¯s appearance. Lian Keying seemed to have a conflict with her fianc¨¦. After that, Zuo Yue really did not expect to see her again in her lifetime. ¡°Zuo Yue is here!¡± Ai Ke, who had always had the best relationship with Zuo Yue, turned around and saw her. She immediately smiled and waved at her. She even deliberately pointed at the empty seat beside her, meaning for Zuo Yue to quickly sit there. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression only paused for a moment before she walked over. Just as she sat down, a waiter came over and asked her what she wanted to drink. Lian Keying, who was sitting in the innermost seat, suddenly glanced in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. She put down the coffee cup in her hand and said,¡±¡±Why are you so late? Everyone is waiting for you.¡± Zuo Yue acted as if she did not hear him. She asked the waiter for a cup of hot cocoa and then continued to smile and chat with Ai Ke and a few other classmates who were close to her. Lian Keying realized that she had been ignored, and her expression immediately turned even uglier. Last time, if it wasn¡¯t for Zuo Yue¡¯s sinister words, causing her to quarrel with her rich fianc¨¦, although the two of them had not completely broken up because of her pestering, her fianc¨¦ often ignored her like this now. He didn¡¯t even mention the engagement and marriage anymore. Lian Keying knew very well that she would have to be ready to find another husband at any time. However, it was not easy to find such a handsome and rich man. She couldn¡¯t find him, and she definitely couldn¡¯t let Zuo Yue, who had lived a carefree life since she was young, have such a smooth relationship. However, she didn¡¯t expect Zuo Yue to come alone today. When Zuo Yue got off the car outside, she was also in the Zuo family¡¯s car. She did not see the tall and handsome man in the car. Just as Lian Keying was thinking, Ai Ke, who was sitting beside Zuo Yue, suddenly smiled and said,¡±¡±Today, only a few of us are drinking and chatting together. Our class reunion is scheduled for the 15th of next month. Zuo Yue, you should be able to go to the class reunion, right?¡± Zuo Yue calculated the time. He should be able to go. School hadn¡¯t started yet.¡± ¡°Do you want to bring your boyfriend along?¡±Lian Keying suddenly interjected. Zuo Yue immediately swept a glance at Lian Keying with a lukewarm gaze. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s seemingly unhappy expression, Lian Keying immediately smiled and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve already broken up with that man?¡± ¡°What man?¡± Ai Ke asked curiously,¡±Zuo Yue, are you in love? You have a boyfriend? Then we¡¯ll bring our boyfriends to our class reunion. We¡¯re planning to bring our boyfriends too! You definitely won¡¯t be able to guess who my boyfriend is. He¡¯s the senior that I really liked when we were still studying in Los Angeles¡­¡± When the girls talked about relationship issues, they would babble non-stop. Zuo Yue held a cup of hot cocoa and listened without saying much. However, Lian Keying took the opportunity to interject again and again,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, you should bring your boyfriend along too. He¡¯s so handsome and looks so rich. He shouldn¡¯t have stage fright accompanying his girlfriend to a class reunion, right?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡± Zuo Yue still did not pay attention to Lian Keying¡¯s provocation. She turned around and went to talk to the others. However, Lian Keying suddenly walked over to Zuo Yue¡¯s side and said,¡±¡±Weren¡¯t you very proud the last time you stood with that man? Why didn¡¯t he even want to mention it now?¡± Chapter 1045 - Chapter 1045: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (130) Chapter 1045: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (130) ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you guys have already broken up?¡±Lian Keying smiled and blinked her eyes. Seeing Zuo Yue silently clench the cup of hot cocoa in her hand, she immediately said with a smile that was not a smile,¡±¡±You dumped him? Or did he dump you? A man who seems to have a good family background and is rarely matched with the granddaughter of the Zuo family. You probably won¡¯t break up with him so easily. So, Zuo Yue, have you been dumped?¡± Zuo Yue looked at Lian Keying, who was smiling smugly, with a dull expression. She did not say anything at first, but picked up the hot cocoa in her hand and took a sip. Ai Ke and the other female classmates did not really care if Zuo Yue would really bring her boyfriend along. However, when they heard Lian Keying¡¯s deliberate words, they were more or less curious. However, she felt that Zuo Yue seemed to be forced into a corner by Lian Keying. Just as Ai Ke was about to help Zuo Yue out, Lian Keying suddenly cried out like a pig being slaughtered. The remaining half cup of hot cocoa in Zuo Yue¡¯s hand had somehow spilled onto Lian Keying¡¯s expensive-looking dress. The color of the hot cocoa instantly smeared on her body like shit, and it was even a little hot. Lian Keying looked at the instigator in front of her angrily.¡±Zuo Yue! What are you doing!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. The cup was a little hot in my hand, and you were standing so close to me. I didn¡¯t hold it properly and spilled it on you.¡±Zuo Yue glanced at her indifferently.¡±¡±Why aren¡¯t you going to the bathroom to wash up? Why are you staring at me? I didn¡¯t do it on purpose!¡± ¡± Yes, Ke Ying, go and wash up!¡± ¡°Hurry up and wash up. The dress is dirty¡­¡± Lian Keying was so angry that she glared at Zuo Yue fiercely. Zuo Yue continued to spread out his hands and said perfunctorily,¡± I¡¯m sorry.¡± However, it was obvious from his eyes that he did not mean that at all. It was not until Lian Keying angrily turned around and ran to the bathroom that Zuo Yue called the waiter to get her another cup of hot cocoa. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the two drops of hot cocoa on the edge of her jeans. Before she could say anything, Ai Ke, who was beside her, said,¡±Zuo Yue, don¡¯t be calculative with Lian Keying. She has been like this since she was young. She always likes to go against you. We used to be best friends. Don¡¯t get into a fight with her because of her bad temper. We all favor you. If it¡¯s not convenient for you to bring your boyfriend to the party, we won¡¯t force you. At most, we won¡¯t bring either of us.¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t hold it properly and accidentally spilled it on her.¡±Zuo Yue said with a calm smile. At the same time, she pointed at the stain on the edge of her jeans.¡±Then, I spilled some on my pants too. I¡¯ll go wash them too.¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue stood up and walked towards the washroom. In the washroom, Lian Keying was washing the hot cocoa stain on her dress with an ugly expression. When she heard footsteps and turned around to see Zuo Yue walking in, she immediately put on an unhappy expression.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Dumped by a man? So you¡¯re taking it out on me?¡± Seeing Lian Keying reveal her true colors behind the others ¡®backs, Zuo Yue merely curled her lips slightly.¡±¡±Which eye of yours saw me being dumped by a man?¡± ¡°What else? Why did you have that expression when I told you to bring your boyfriend to the party? It was obviously the stage where you were either dumped or about to be dumped. In any case, you definitely couldn¡¯t bring anyone to the party.¡±Lian Keying looked at her proudly. Zuo Yue turned on the tap and bent down to wipe the hot cocoa residue on the edge of her trousers. Then, she stood up and slowly washed her hands. She turned around and looked at Lian Keying¡¯s arrogant expression.¡±It¡¯s a class reunion, not a boyfriend basking event. Do I have to bring her out to bask in the sun? I don¡¯t rely on men to survive.¡± This praise and criticism made Lian Keying¡¯s expression even more unhappy.¡±Who do you think lives on men?¡± ¡°Who knows?¡± Zuo Yue could not be bothered to argue with her.¡± It¡¯s your business if you want to pursue the life you want. Don¡¯t always find fault with me. I have so much time to play such boring games with you.¡± To me, the class reunion is just a good gathering with my former classmates. Moreover, we are only eighteen years old. What boyfriend or fianc¨¦? We don¡¯t know what will happen in a few years. What¡¯s there to bring?¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at her, turned off the tap, and left. Lian Keying stared at her back and said unwillingly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t use these reasons to brush me off! Anyway, if you don¡¯t bring that man with you, it means that you, Zuo Yue, have already been dumped! Weren¡¯t you very proud of yourself in front of me last time? I think that man was forced to act with you!¡± Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. The scene of her and Xu Chengfeng walking out of the door arm in arm suddenly appeared in her mind. She also remembered that he had stood by her side and relied on her. Although he was unwilling, he had still acted out such a childish scene for her sake. It was said that memories hurt the most. It had been so long, and she had already gone home for more than ten days. Why was there still something lingering in her world? She walked out silently. Lian Keying suddenly walked over quickly and grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s arm, forcefully turning her around. Zuo Yue returned to her senses and glanced at her, pulling her hand away from hers. She said impatiently,¡±¡±What else do you want? There were too many people just now. I didn¡¯t want to hurt your face. Do you really want to fall out with me in front of everyone? Lian Keying, I¡¯ve already endured enough for so many years. Don¡¯t force me to not even leave you with my last face.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound so absolute. If you don¡¯t have a boyfriend now, I can introduce you to a few, so that you won¡¯t be teased by everyone at the class reunion next month. What kind do you want? Want someone who can act rich? Or do you want to look like a celebrity? The person I introduce to you is guaranteed to be ten thousand times better than the man beside you last time!¡± ¡°A man you know?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly smiled. Lian Keying did not understand what she meant by her smile. Zuo Yue suddenly leaned over and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Forget about acting. I only have one request. Among the men you know, find a man who has never slept with you. How about that?¡± Lian Keying¡¯s face instantly turned green. She raised her hand and was about to push Zuo Yue away. However, Zuo Yue took a step to the side at the right time. At the same time, she looked at Lian Keying with disdain.¡±I don¡¯t like second-hand goods. So, you should just hug those men and do whatever you want. Don¡¯t dirty my eyes.¡± Chapter 1046 - Chapter 1046: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (131) Chapter 1046: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (131) Zuo Yue turned around and left, not giving Lian Keying the chance to pester her again. However, Lian Keying suddenly walked over angrily.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, stop right there!¡± Zuo Yue pretended not to hear her and quickly walked out of the washroom. When she walked back to her classmates, Lian Keying restrained herself a little, but she still glared at her from time to time. Zuo Yue glanced at her with an indifferent expression. There was a warning in her eyes, warning her that if she wanted to cause trouble or fall out with her, there must be a limit. Otherwise, she would definitely not give her any face. Lian Ke Ying remembered the words that Zuo Yue had said the last time. She knew that Zuo Yue was no longer the Zuo Yue who would tolerate her in every way. For a moment, she did not want to be ostracized by everyone. After enduring it, she only rolled her eyes at Zuo Yue and turned around to sit back in her seat. Zuo Yue returned to Ai Ke¡¯s side and sat down. Ai Ke asked her a few questions in a low voice with a concerned look. Zuo Yue smiled and casually said a few words, and this matter passed. However, regarding the gathering next month, Ai Ke and the others were still excitedly discussing whether they should bring their boyfriends. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t interrupt. She just drank her hot cocoa and lowered her head in deep thought. Whoever wanted to bring their boyfriend to the class reunion could go. She didn¡¯t have a boyfriend anyway. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure appeared in her mind again. She suddenly frowned and drank the hot cocoa in her cup in one gulp. Why did she think of him again? What¡¯s there to miss about a man who plans to leave your life completely! .. Before she went home, she didn¡¯t know who Lian Keying was calling. When she was on the phone, her attitude was soft and long, as if she was begging someone. Not long after, a Ferrari stopped at the door. When Zuo Yue rolled down the window, she saw that the person in the car was Lian Keying¡¯s fianc¨¦. Lian Keying picked up her small bag and walked out with a smug look on her face before getting into the car again. Her fianc¨¦¡¯s expression was obviously a little impatient. After Lian Keying got into the car, she even deliberately hugged the man¡¯s face and kissed him. The man slightly tilted his head and did not manage to avoid it. However, the few friends who stood on Zuo Yue¡¯s side all saw this scene clearly. Everyone was discussing the relationship between Lian Keying and that man. They also knew that he was Lian Keying¡¯s fianc¨¦. However, everyone could see that the man had no feelings or patience for Lian Keying, so they were making all kinds of guesses. For the sake of face, a woman would rather keep pestering each other than give up on their relationship. Zuo Yue watched Lian Keying leave in the car and did not feel anything. However, she suddenly felt that time had changed. In the past, she had naively dragged Xu Chengfeng to cooperate with her. Now, she suddenly felt that in front of a person like Lian Keying, she could not be too serious. Otherwise, she would soon become a retard. ***** ¡°Dad, why have you been paying so much attention to the business news in Asia recently?¡± Zuo Yue had just finished her breakfast when she heard the sound coming from the television in the front hall. She couldn¡¯t help but walk over. After glancing at the news on the television, she directly sat beside Father Zuo. Father Zuo was still focused on the news and answered,¡±¡±Because I can only occasionally see things about your brother here.¡± Zuo Yue paused and immediately looked up at the television news. After reading for a long time, she did not see anything about Zuo Hancheng or Shengling Group in China. She could not help but feel sorry for her father. She reached out and patted Father Zuo¡¯s shoulder like a good friend.¡±If you miss my brother, go to China with my mother. Anyway, my brother only stopped coming to the Zuo family because of my grandfather. He hasn¡¯t cut off contact with you and my mother.¡± Father Zuo smiled and turned to look at Zuo Yue.¡±¡±If we all go to China to see your brother, your grandfather will definitely be furious. Although we don¡¯t think your brother did anything wrong, we still have to give your grandfather some face on the surface.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really annoying to have an old man at home.¡±Zuo Yue immediately grabbed a pillow from the sofa and hugged it in her arms. Then, she rested her chin on one hand and stared at the television screen.¡± But it¡¯s useless even if you always read this kind of news. You know that my brother has been so low-key these past few years. Even though Shengling Group has only moved to China for five years, he¡¯s already extraordinary now. However, my brother rarely faces the media directly. Moreover, there¡¯s only one side profile photo of him on the internet. What can you see by watching these Asian business news every day?¡± ¡°Even if you can¡¯t see Han City, you can at least understand some of the business forms in Asia and China. You can know whether your brother is in a state of deep suffering or in a state of comfort.¡±Father Zuo smiled faintly. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anyone more at ease than him.¡±Zuo Yue pursed her lips. However, the news was suddenly talking about some of Asia¡¯s commercial and financial indicators, as well as the general situation of some of Asia¡¯s financial tycoons. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused when the words ¡± KG Group ¡± appeared on the screen. The headquarters of the KP Group was in Russia. Although Russia was not an Asian country, it was a country that spanned across the continent of Europe and Asia. Therefore, it was not surprising that the business news in Asia would mention the KP Group. However, Zuo Yue found it strange. Why would such a piece of news that wouldn¡¯t attract people¡¯s attention suddenly enter her line of sight? She was clearly looking forward to seeing the news about Shengling Group with her father, okay? Zuo Yue suddenly put down the pillow and got up to go out for a walk. ¡°Hey, Zuo Yue! Look!¡± Father Zuo suddenly spoke, sounding a little happy. Zuo Yue subconsciously turned her head and immediately saw the scene at an Asian economic forum on TV. She saw her brother, Zuo Hancheng, who she had not seen for five years, sitting in an important seat at the conference. Because there were many successful people present, and this kind of conference was very serious, no one would be specially featured. However, as the camera slowly swept past, she could still see Zuo Hancheng sitting in the conference hall with a calm expression. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit. Even if it was just a side profile. It was also a side profile that would make the left family happy and satisfied. Zuo Yue stared at the television screen for a while before looking at Father Zuo. She saw that Father Zuo was in a good mood. Even though it was just a glance, she could still see that Father Zuo was very satisfied. Zuo Yue thought for a while and suddenly walked over. She leaned against the back of the sofa and said softly,¡±¡±Dad, since I have nothing to do recently, I¡¯ll go and see my brother for you. How about it?¡± Chapter 1047 - Chapter 1047: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (132) Chapter 1047: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (132) At the airport- Zuo Yue held the boarding pass that she had just received and looked at the English words on it that said that she was flying directly from Los Angeles to Shanghai, China. From the moment she made this decision until now, she did not know whether she wanted to go to China to see her own brother, Zuo Hancheng, or for some other purpose. He knew that the person might not be in China now. He wouldn¡¯t stay in China for long. Perhaps he was in Russia now¡­ Before Zuo Yue could enter the security checkpoint, she suddenly turned around and looked behind her. Just now, Uncle Chen and the driver drove her to the airport together. After seeing her get her boarding pass with their own eyes, they left with ease. If she wanted to change her itinerary and go to Russia to take a look, how could she not let her parents find out about her final destination? Zuo Yue turned around and took out the card that Xu Chengfeng had left for her from her bag. It seemed that this was the only card that could represent the connection between her and Xu Chengfeng. He didn¡¯t ask for the card back when he left, so he probably wouldn¡¯t freeze it. Therefore, even if she wanted to fly to other places or travel around the world, she would only be spending Xu Chengfeng¡¯s money. Her parents would not receive any news from the airport or the bank immediately. Some people had left so quickly. Before she went to China, she should go to Russia to take a look. Even if she couldn¡¯t see that person, it would be good to see the headquarters of the KP Group with her own eyes. It was rare for him to have a trip that he could go on as he wished, and it was also rare for him to have a card in his hand that would not limit his spending. Zuo Yue turned around to confirm that Uncle Chen and the driver had left. Then, she suddenly turned around happily and went back to handle the various procedures at the airport, as well as the passport and other matters. ***** Two days later. She transferred from Los Angeles to Hawaii, then from Hawaii to South Korea, then to China, and then to Shanghai by train. After two days of traveling, Zuo Yue finally decided to fly directly from Shanghai to Russia. She was checking in at the airport. Her phone had been switched off for the past two days, but she didn¡¯t want her parents to worry too much, so she sent a text message to her mother, saying that she wanted to take a walk around and not look for her. She would go back after a while. Zuo Yue, who thought that there would be no more problems, had just brought her passport and all kinds of procedures to the counter for boarding passes. Suddenly, there was a silence behind her, and the people around her gradually dispersed. Zuo Yue glanced at the staff member sitting behind the counter and saw that the staff member was looking in the direction behind her with a surprised and infatuated expression. Zuo Yue was stunned. She instinctively turned around and saw Zuo Hancheng, whom she had not seen for five years, appear at the airport. He even appeared a few meters behind her. She immediately took a deep breath and grabbed all kinds of things on the counter to cover her face. She turned around and wanted to escape from the crowd. However, just as she turned around and took a few steps to the side, she was suddenly blocked by a man. Zuo Yue half-covered her face while peeking out her eyes to size up the man in front of her. She recognized that this was the assistant who used to be by Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side in the United States. He seemed to be called Mobai. Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes and continued to cover her face. She turned around and ran to the other side. As soon as she turned around, she crashed into someone¡¯s arms. At the same time, someone grabbed her shoulder. Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She slowly raised her head and looked at the man who was much taller than her. She instantly gave up resisting dejectedly. She grabbed the passport in her hand and muttered,¡±It can¡¯t be, right? The biological brother that I haven¡¯t seen for five years, it¡¯s not easy to see him again, but in the end, he¡¯s actually here to catch me?¡± Zuo Hancheng lowered his gaze and looked at her indifferently. His expression was cold and he did not have any intention of being intimate with her. However, he did not intend to let her go either. Just as she was about to take the opportunity to slip away again, he grabbed her shoulder and looked down at the nondescript equipment on her and the suitcase in her hand.¡±Run away from home? Zuo Yue, have you grown wings and dared to fly around with your family behind your back?¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. I haven¡¯t returned to the Zuo family for five years, and now you have the nerve to talk about me? I don¡¯t know how to come out and go back, and how do you know I¡¯m here? Did you investigate my whereabouts in the country?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not waste any time talking to her and asked Mobai to come over and take away the things in her hands and her luggage. Seeing that she could not escape for the time being, Zuo Yue glared at her unhappily. Zuo Hancheng looked down at her condescendingly.¡±I don¡¯t have much time to fool around with you. Mom called to say that you ran away from home and found out that you went to China in a circle. This place isn¡¯t far from A City.¡± After saying that, Zuo Hancheng turned around and walked out. It was as if he did not need to forcefully take her away. He knew that she had no choice but to follow him obediently because she had lost her passport and luggage. Zuo Yue stood on the spot and quietly gritted her teeth. She shouted at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s back,¡±¡±This is too much! Zuo Hancheng, you¡¯re such a cold-blooded person. Is there still no woman who can subdue you? I think you should just go back to the States and marry that Chengxin! You probably won¡¯t have the time to meddle in other people¡¯s business after you get married! I¡¯m out of peace and disperse my heart! Why do you care so much about me!¡± Zuo Hancheng ignored her complaints as if he had not heard her. Zuo Yue cursed him secretly while gritting her teeth. In the end, she had no choice but to follow him out of the airport hall obediently. Zuo Yue was still grumbling unhappily even after she got into Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car.¡±¡±Five years ago, I left just like that. How old was I back then? I was only thirteen years old. Ever since I was young, you, as my brother, have never been close to me. You have a cold expression on your face every day. I almost forgot that I still have a biological brother in this world.¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You can¡¯t speak, can you? The relationship between you and me is not just that cold! Also, you haven¡¯t been back to America for five years. What right do you have to control me now? Even if Mom and Dad called you to stop me, do you know what I¡¯m going to do? I told my parents that I wanted to go out and relax. I didn¡¯t say that I wanted to run away from home. They deliberately added fuel to the fire and you actually believed them!¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Say something! Zuo Hancheng, let me tell you, you have offended your sister today! If you really bring me back, believe it or not, I can turn your life upside down!¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Hey! Zuo Hancheng! I¡¯m talking to you! Do you hear me?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and moved closer to Zuo Hancheng. Zuo Hancheng did not even turn his head. He raised his hand to block her head and pushed her back mercilessly. Zuo Yue: ¡± % amp;amp;@#$%¡­ Bastard¡­¡± Chapter 1048 - Chapter 1048: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (133) Chapter 1048: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (133) It was not until Zuo Yue was brought back to A City and brought directly to Shengling Group by Zuo Hancheng that she was sure that her brother was serious about her. He had really kidnapped her from the airport. He didn¡¯t know what his parents had said to him on the phone to make him so determined. However, as soon as she returned to the company, Zuo Hancheng seemed to be busy. He left her with Mobai and went straight to the meeting room. Zuo Yue and Mobai were left staring at each other in the resting room. Mobai knew that this young lady in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. Although she was still young in the United States, she was still a little girl whose height did not reach his chest. Now that she had grown up a lot, she looked more feminine. However, with her fiery personality, it was obvious that she was not someone to be trifled with. After staring at Mobai for a while, Zuo Yue suddenly sighed.¡±¡±I say, Mobai, you and my brother have watched me grow up. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know my personality. How could I really run away from home? I¡¯m really just taking a break¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell Old Master Zuo and Mrs. Zuo that you wanted to come to China to visit President Zuo? Why did she transfer to so many places and end up in Shanghai? You don¡¯t know that President Zuo is in City A?¡± ¡°.. I know.¡± ¡°Then why are you going to Shanghai?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s lips twitched.¡± I told you that I wanted to take a break. It¡¯s my first time in China anyway, so I wanted to walk around. When I¡¯m done, I¡¯ll come to City A to look for my brother. Besides, my brother and I have never been close. Even if I came to look for him first, he wouldn¡¯t be very enthusiastic about me. So, I might as well walk around by myself first¡­¡± Mobai sighed softly.¡± It¡¯s not that President Zuo isn¡¯t close to you. It¡¯s just that President Zuo had too many things to do in the United States. He was also too busy with work. He didn¡¯t even have time to deal with his own personal matters. How could he have time to coax his sister?¡± ¡°Then he¡¯s not busy now? You actually have the time to go to Shanghai to catch me.¡±Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at Mobai and raised her hand just as Mobai was about to explain on Zuo Hancheng¡¯s behalf.¡±¡±Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t say anything for him. He¡¯s my brother. I know him.¡± Mobai felt a little helpless. He suddenly looked at the time and then looked outside. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Zuo Yue also looked out of the window. Are there any big clients coming? With my brother¡¯s status, he doesn¡¯t need to personally receive him, right? Could it be that you want to receive him? Then can I stay alone for a while now?¡± ¡°President Zuo¡¯s meeting will be over soon. I¡¯ll send you to President Zuo¡¯s office first.¡± As he spoke, Mobai walked out without explaining much. Zuo Yue did not say much, but she was in a really bad mood because she could not fly from Shanghai to Russia. However, she could not explain too much to Zuo Hancheng about her youngest uncle¡¯s problem in case it aroused suspicion. After all, not only would her mother reject this kind of thing, even if her biological brother, Zuo Hancheng, knew about her relationship with her youngest uncle, he would probably send her to a place where Xu Chengfeng would never be able to find her in this lifetime. Who was Zuo Hancheng? Outsiders might not know, but even though Zuo Yue was still young many years ago, she knew how powerful her brother was. Therefore, it would not be easy for her to sneak away from Shengling Group. Seeing that Mobai had already walked out, Zuo Yue sighed softly. She could only stop and follow Mobai out of the resting room. When he reached the top floor, he had just stepped out of the elevator when a man and a woman seemed to have come out of another elevator. The young girl¡¯s gaze seemed to have landed on him. Zuo Yue only glanced at the girl and felt that she was about the same age as her. The deepest impression she had was that she had big eyes, good skin, and seemed to be holding a casual bag in her hand. After a quick glance, Zuo Yue followed Mobai to the CEO¡¯s office. When she entered the office, she realized that Zuo Hancheng had just returned from a meeting. When he saw her walk in, he only glanced at her indifferently. Mobai walked out. ¡°Brother, seeing that I can still call you brother now, let me go around alone.¡±Although Zuo Yue knew that there was no hope, she still opened her mouth, hoping that she would get lucky. Zuo Hancheng did not even look at her. After putting down the meeting records in his hand, he glanced at her indifferently and said,¡±¡±Reason.¡± ¡°I¡¯m on vacation now. What reason do I need to go out for a walk?¡± ¡°I checked your flight records. You plan to fly directly from Shanghai to Russia today.¡±¡±Why are you going to Russia?¡± Zuo Hancheng looked at her. What¡¯s the reason?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue gulped.¡± I-I heard that Russia¡¯s winter is very fun. It¡¯s very cold. At its coldest, it can go up to-40 ¡ã C, but it doesn¡¯t freeze people to death. I¡¯m very curious, so I want to go and take a look.¡±¡± Zuo Yue did not even know how to lie when he was facing Zuo Hancheng. Such a clumsy lie sounded like a lie to Zuo Hancheng, so his eyes were filled with rejection and disagreement. Zuo Yue was so angry that she walked around the office desk and went behind him. She leaned on his shoulder coquettishly.¡±Brother, if you insist on keeping me in A City, aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll pester you?¡± Zuo Hancheng put the meeting minutes into his folder and replied coldly,¡±¡±You won¡¯t stay in A City for long. The Americans will send someone to pick you up soon.¡± ¡°Dad and Mom don¡¯t have time. Mother Wang and Uncle Chen are too old to fly so far to pick me up. You¡¯re also worried about the others. Who else can you send?¡±Zuo Yue snorted.¡± I think I should stay in China and follow you every day. Dad and Mom are usually busy anyway, and Grandpa doesn¡¯t care about me.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t respond, as if he couldn¡¯t be bothered with her deliberate rambling. ¡°Then, how about this? Where are you staying? I¡¯ll stay with you!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ve already arranged a place for you to stay before I brought you back to A City. You can stay at the place I¡¯ve arranged for you. You don¡¯t have to go to my place.¡± ¡°Do you have a girlfriend now?¡±When Zuo Yue heard this, she suddenly smiled evilly and wanted to force him to let go of her. She deliberately moved closer to him and said,¡±¡±I don¡¯t care! I want to live with you!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± As soon as Zuo Yue finished speaking, the door to the CEO¡¯s office was suddenly opened from the outside. She saw a girl who looked about the same age as her standing in front of the door with a forced calm expression, her eyes staring straight in their direction. Zuo Hancheng glanced at the girl and seemed a little helpless. He turned to Zuo Yue and said,¡±¡±Stop fooling around.¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and took a step back without saying anything. She only looked up at the girl standing in front of the door. Chapter 1049 - Chapter 1049: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (134) Chapter 1049: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (134) It was not until the girl entered the resting room that Zuo Yue asked with slight doubt,¡±¡±She¡¯s tutoring in your resting room? Brother, are you expanding your business into the education industry? Is your resting room used for tutoring?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not explain. He said to Mobai, who was standing outside the door,¡±¡±Bring Zuo Yue out and arrange a place for her to stay. The hotel that we booked beforehand is also fine.¡± Mobai walked in.¡± Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡± The relationship between the girl and Zuo Hancheng was unclear, so Zuo Yue did not pay much attention to the girl. However, she was suddenly brought to A City, and Zuo Hancheng actually wanted her to stay in a hotel. When Zuo Yue saw her own brother now, she remembered the heartless scene when he left America five years ago. Thinking about it, he realized that he was really the same type of person as Xu Chengfeng. He could even leave so easily. Zuo Yue said angrily,¡±I¡¯m not going anywhere else. I¡¯ll stay with you.¡± ¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Hancheng answered firmly.¡± ¡°Why not? I¡¯m your sister. It¡¯s not a big deal for me to stay with you. Since you¡¯ve captured me and even informed my family to come and pick me up, I estimate that I can only stay in China for a week at most.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t stay in a hotel. I¡¯ll arrange another place for you, an apartment, or¡­¡± ¡°No, I¡¯ll stay at your place. You moved the company here for five years, and I haven¡¯t come to see you.¡± Mobai looked at Zuo Hancheng¡¯s troubled expression and felt sorry for his boss for the first time in his life. A 19-year-old wife and an 18-year-old sister. Zuo Hancheng, the CEO of Shengling Group and the man who could kill people in the business world, had lost his temper because of two young ladies. Mobai didn¡¯t know if he should feel sorry for his boss or laugh. Zuo Hancheng seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned to look at her. His eyes were serious. Zuo Yue instinctively took a step back when she met his gaze.¡±Why? Why are you looking at me like that?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t answered why you want to go to Russia.¡±Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze seemed calm, but it was like the sharpest ray of light that could easily see through her. It was not as easy to fool Zuo Hancheng as it was to fool his parents and grandfather. Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed the hair on her cheek behind her ear.¡±¡±Brother, don¡¯t you think you should be more concerned about your sister and not keep asking me about other things?¡± ¡°I asked you why you want to go to Russia. Isn¡¯t that concerned about you?¡±Zuo Hancheng said calmly,¡± I also know a little about you studying in Boston. I heard that Mom handed you over to that¡­¡± Seeing that he actually knew about Xu Chengfeng, Zuo Yue immediately raised her hand and made a gesture to stop.¡±¡±Stop talking. I¡¯ll go to the hotel myself, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows slightly because of her slightly exaggerated yet feigned calmness. He did not say anything more. He only glanced at her indifferently before turning back to look at Mobai, signaling with his eyes that he could take her away. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him, but she couldn¡¯t say anything about it, so she could only follow Mobai out of the company. On the way, Mobai would occasionally lament about her childhood. ¡°You were only this tall when you left the United States with President Zuo five years ago. You¡¯re already so big now¡­¡± Zuo Yue sat at the back and rolled her eyes at Mobai from time to time.¡±¡±He knows that I¡¯ve grown up, but he still treats me like a child. I know my brother¡¯s temper, and I can¡¯t be bothered to argue with him, but what did my parents call and say? My brother actually went to Shanghai personally to capture me?¡± ¡°President Zuo happened to have something to do in Shanghai, so he brought you back along the way.¡±Mobai said with a smile. ¡°Is it really so convenient?¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows. She knew how two-faced Zuo Hancheng and Mobai were. If she was really in Shanghai, Zuo Hancheng would not have asked her twice about her purpose in Russia. Could her mother have suspected something in the end? So, even though she had deliberately transferred to so many places, her mother still found out? She did not know if her mother had heard that she was going to Russia. If Zuo Hancheng told the United States about it, she would not know what kind of situation she would have to face when she returned to the United States. Moreover, Xu Chengfeng had already cut off all contact with her. She did not even know where he was. It had already ended, so there was no need to drag him into it. Zuo Yue sat in the back of the car without saying a word until Mobai stopped the car in front of a hotel and signaled for her to get out. He quickly helped her with the check-in procedures. It was only after he sent Zuo Yue to her room that he told her to rest well outside the door. He even said that President Zuo would find time to visit her and told her not to run around. After Mobai left, Zuo Yue sat on the bed and looked at her luggage and phone. Her luggage was still there, but her identification documents and passport had been confiscated. She only had two choices now. She could either stay in a hotel or go to Zuo Hancheng¡¯s side and become a parasite so that he would chase her out as soon as possible. After five years of not seeing each other, Zuo Yue felt that she had no other choice but to go and harm her own brother. So, she wandered around the hotel room for a while before taking a taxi back to Shengling Group. Coincidentally, Zuo Hancheng had just driven out of the company, so she took a taxi and followed him. She only got out of the car when she reached the vicinity of Liu Jing Garden. As she was stopped by the security guards, she had to stand outside in the snow for a while. Ten minutes later, she called Zuo Hancheng and told him with tears and snot that she was not wearing a coat and that she was freezing outside. In short, she was putting on all sorts of tricks to hurt herself. When Zuo Hancheng came out to pick her up, he saw her standing outside the door with a pitiful look. He took off his suit jacket and covered her with it before taking her home. Zuo Yue had thought that she could use this act to communicate with her brother, Zuo Hancheng, and ask him to let her go. However, she did not expect to find the girl from before when she entered his house. The moment she finally found out that the girl was her sister-in-law, all the fantasies in Zuo Yue¡¯s mind about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s other half were instantly shattered. Looking at the girl named Gu Anhao, Zuo Yue could not help but say,¡±¡±Brother, you actually got married without a sound¡­¡± Didn¡¯t he know that his grandfather was still talking about marrying Chengxin every day? They actually got married just like that! Zuo Hancheng ignored her and was very calm about Zuo Yue¡¯s scolding and questioning. However, Zuo Yue never expected a nineteen-year-old girl to become her sister-in-law! Chapter 1050 - Chapter 1050: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (135) Chapter 1050: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (135) Zuo Yue finally understood what it meant to abuse a dog after staying in A City for a few days. She had never seen Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao abuse single people like this! Zuo Yue was not only abused by these two people every day, but she also took on the task of getting up early to bake bread every day because of jet lag. Toasted bread was the only breakfast that she made herself that could be eaten smoothly. In the end, she was even despised. A week later. Zuo Yue was the only one in Liu Jing Yuan¡¯s house. Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao had gone somewhere to fool around. Zuo Yue was happy, but her passport had been confiscated. She had nowhere to go now. She shut herself up at home every day to watch all kinds of Chinese television stations, watch all kinds of big and small domestic news, and read all kinds of melodramatic gossip about the mainland entertainment industry. Her drunken life almost made her forget the reason why she left the United States until her mother suddenly called. ¡°How is it? Are you getting along well with your sister-in-law?¡± ¡°My brother and that Gu An haven¡¯t been back for a few days. How are we going to get along?¡± Zuo Yue said helplessly. Moreover, Gu Anhao had been busy with her exams recently. It seemed that she had other things to do.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with letting you go out and see the world. At least I¡¯ll be more at ease with your brother.¡±Xu Yuan said meaningfully,¡± I was going to send someone from the company to pick you up in City A, but the Zuo Corporation has a project recently, so I really can¡¯t spare any manpower. Since you have nothing to do in Han City, don¡¯t you want to relax? You can stay in City A for a few more days. I¡¯ll arrange someone to pick you up in a few days.¡±¡± Zuo Yue rested her chin on one hand as she leaned against the sofa.¡±Mom, do you know how old my sister-in-law is?¡± ¡°I know. Nineteen years old, almost twenty.¡± ¡°You know, but you¡¯re not surprised at all? She¡¯s only one year older than me!¡± ¡°So what? It¡¯s not like I¡¯m still a teenager. Since it¡¯s your brother¡¯s choice, I believe in his judgment.¡± Thinking of Gu Anhao, who was as childish as she was, and hearing her mother talking about her brother¡¯s so-called taste, Zuo Yue leaned back on the sofa and shook her head speechlessly. Although Xu Yuan did not hang up the phone after that, she seemed to have something to say. Zuo Yue could hear the pause and hesitation in her mother¡¯s words. After thinking for a while, she asked directly,¡±Mom, do you have anything to say? Just ask me directly. We¡¯re on the other side of the ocean. If I did something wrong that made you unhappy, just say it. You can¡¯t hit me now anyway.¡± Xu Yuan immediately laughed.¡± Zuo Yue sighed.¡± I¡¯m bored now. Brother and Gu Anhao aren¡¯t coming back to accompany me. My passport and identity documents are with me, so I can¡¯t go too far to relax. It¡¯s freezing outside, colder than Los Angeles. I¡¯m too lazy to go out. Now, I suddenly feel that when you talk to me, you can more or less kill time.¡±¡± ¡°Now you know the importance of your mother? I see that you usually don¡¯t even bother to call me.¡±Xu Yuan smiled as she spoke. Suddenly, she said,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I want to ask you something seriously.¡± ¡°You ask.¡± ¡°Is there nothing between you and your uncle?¡± The smile in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes froze for a moment. She leaned on the sofa and did not move. Because her mother¡¯s tone was too careful and cautious, Zuo Yue could feel her mother¡¯s seriousness. She slowly sat up from the sofa and held her phone tightly as if nothing had happened.¡±What can happen between me and uncle?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m suspicious. I just feel that there¡¯s something strange between you and your uncle. I didn¡¯t think so in the past, but after you and your uncle separated this time, every time I called him to talk about something, he sounded like there was nothing wrong, but he never asked about you. As an elder and having been by your side for so long, even if he doesn¡¯t particularly like your childishness, he should at least ask about you, but he never asked¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart ached, but she smiled and said,¡±¡±If he doesn¡¯t ask about me, does that mean he has something to do with me? Mom, have you watched too many TV dramas? If he could still be tortured by those 8 o¡¯clock soap operas in the United States, what was he thinking about?¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing between the two of you, then what did you do to make him ignore you? I hate you that much?¡± ¡°Because I¡¯m not sensible¡­¡± Zuo Yue answered vaguely. ¡°Did you do something to offend your uncle?¡± ¡°.. More or less.¡± ¡°What did you do?¡± ¡°I¡­ I offended his girlfriend¡­¡± Xu Yuan suddenly fell silent for a while. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t think too much about it. Uncle rarely answers me. Although I lived with him in Boston, he really rarely cares about me.¡± ¡°What¡¯s with the row of little dolls at the bedside of your room?¡± ¡°That was the birthday present I asked Uncle for two months ago¡­¡± Zuo Yue felt that she had lied again and again until she could no longer speak. There was something in her heart that was beating fiercely at the most sensitive part of her heart. Did he ignore her when he was on the phone with his mother? Could she really leave so simply and completely? Zuo Yue pulled the phone away from her ear. She took a deep breath and suppressed the redness that gradually appeared in her eyes. She then put the phone back to her ear and said,¡±¡±Mom, Uncle is Uncle in my eyes. Although he¡¯s tall and handsome, it¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen someone more handsome than him. Since I was young, I¡¯ve basked in a lot of light because I¡¯m the granddaughter of the Zuo family. I¡¯ve seen many high-quality men, but I¡¯ve never been moved.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not thinking about those things either. After all, your little uncle has a calm personality. However, Zuo Yue, you¡¯ve been spoiled too much by us since you were young. You can do whatever you want. We¡¯re just afraid that you¡¯ll have some thoughts for a moment¡­¡± ¡°Also, I want to make sure that nothing unpleasant happened between you and your uncle, right?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s tone was a little slow.¡± ¡°.. No, I don¡¯t.¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and gently hammered her heart to relieve the sharp pain. She felt that if her mother questioned her a few more times, she would really not be able to hold it in. He was alone, enduring the pain of not being able to see each other again. He was alone, laughing and laughing every day as if nothing had happened. Why would he bring up these things to make himself feel bad? Xu Yuan was silent for a while before saying,¡±¡±Chengfeng has been in China for the past few days. He might go to City A this week. If there¡¯s nothing between you and Chengfeng, I can rest assured if he sends you back.¡± Chapter 1051 - Chapter 1051: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (136) Chapter 1051: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (136) ¡°Chengfeng has been in China for the past few days. He might go to City A this week. If there¡¯s nothing between you and Chengfeng, I can rest assured if he sends you back.¡± As soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zuo Yue suddenly stood up from the sofa. She suppressed the surging waves in her heart, but her nose was extremely sour. She even had a feeling that her uncle might be outside the window, right beside her. She rushed to the window and looked out, but there was nothing but snow outside the window. The figure she wanted to see was not there. ¡°Zuo Yue, are you listening to me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m listening.¡± Zuo Yue leaned against the window and suddenly realized that the air in A City was fresher. She suddenly felt as if she was about to come back to life. She tried her best to suppress her excitement and said calmly,¡±There¡¯s really nothing unpleasant between Uncle and me. If he has the time and is willing to personally bring me back to America, that¡¯s fine too.¡± Xu Yuan listened carefully to Zuo Yue¡¯s tone and then smiled.¡±¡±I haven¡¯t told your uncle about this yet. He probably doesn¡¯t know that you¡¯re in China¡¯s A City now. I¡¯ll find an opportunity to call him in the next few days and ask him when he has time to pick you up.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡± Zuo Yue, although the Xu and Zuo families are prestigious families, we don¡¯t have many people in our families. The Xu family only has me and your uncle. The Zuo family only has you and Hancheng in your generation. When your father and I are old, the only relatives you can rely on will be Hancheng and Chengfeng. So, I hope that you can get along well with your brother and uncle. Don¡¯t let anything unpleasant happen.¡±¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue could barely speak at this moment. She could only respond in a hoarse voice. ¡± I didn¡¯t suspect anything between you and Chengfeng. I just thought that you¡¯re young and it¡¯s easy for you to mess up your feelings. I think your uncle might be avoiding you or something. It seems that I¡¯m overthinking it. Since there¡¯s nothing between the two of you, I don¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue continued to respond softly, but her eyes were red. ¡°Chengfeng has something to do in China, so I don¡¯t know if he¡¯ll be very busy. Besides, I¡¯m not sure if he¡¯ll agree to it. I¡¯ll contact him in the next two days and ask for his opinion. If he can¡¯t find the time to bring you back to the United States, then I can only ask your brother to send someone to send you back. Although I don¡¯t want to trouble your brother, he has quite a lot of things to do recently¡­¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t tell Uncle that I was caught by my brother in China, okay?¡±Zuo Yue said in a very soft voice, with a hint of pleading. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid of embarrassing yourself now? When I see you flying around, you seem to be very happy.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue raised her hand and gently scratched her hair.¡±¡±Anyway, don¡¯t tell him¡­¡± He was the one who suggested ending the relationship, and he was the one who pretended to be rational in the end. She really did not want her uncle to know what kind of irrational life she had been living these days. If he found out that she almost secretly flew to Russia, how could she put her face¡­ Xu Yuan teased her a little more before hanging up. Zuo Yue put down her phone and leaned against the window. Her previously deathly still mood had somehow become excited again. She clearly knew what her mother meant. She was implying that even if Xu Chengfeng was in A City, he might not agree to come and see her, nor would he agree to send her back to America. It didn¡¯t matter if she went back to America or not. It wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t have long legs. What was important was that she could still see him¡­ However, when he thought about how the distance between the two of them would immediately shrink to the point where they could stand in the same city and look at the same sky, this feeling was really great. The feeling of loneliness and emptiness seemed to have disappeared. She suddenly turned around and returned to the sofa. She picked up her phone and looked at the screen. She had deleted her uncle¡¯s number a few days ago, but even after deleting his name from her contact list, some things lingered in her mind. Those numbers kept flashing across her mind. Her fingers pressed the numbers on the phone one by one, but she did not have the courage to call them in the end. Although she really wanted to ask, where are you now, uncle? Which part of China are you in? Do you know that I¡¯m in China too? Do you know that I¡¯m very close? However, she held her phone for a long time and finally stared at the string of numbers in a daze. When Zuo Hancheng returned, he saw Zuo Yue sitting on the sofa like a little fool. Zuo Yue looked up at him and then looked behind him.¡±That Gu Anhao isn¡¯t back yet?¡± ¡°She¡¯s staying at school.¡± Zuo Hancheng did not mention much about Anhao in front of Zuo Yue. After looking at Zuo Yue for a while, he walked over.¡±When do you plan to go back? The United States shouldn¡¯t be able to send anyone to pick you up in the next few days. Shall I arrange for someone to send you back?¡± Zuo Yue immediately raised her head.¡± No need. Let¡¯s wait a few more days.¡±¡± ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her.¡± Zuo Yue held her chin with one hand and turned her head away.¡±¡±I¡¯m not telling you.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled when he saw her childish behavior. It was rare for him to have the leisure to sit beside her and chat with her. ¡°I will be going to T City for a business trip in the next two days. Anhao will be staying at school to prepare for her final exams. If you are bored here alone, you can look for Mobai. He will take you around when he has time.¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at her.¡± Brother, I see that you seem to have a lot on your mind these past few days. I¡¯ve never seen you like this before.¡±¡± ¡°Do you know what it means to have a lot on your mind?¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. I¡¯m not thirteen years old. Why are you still looking at me five years ago? Your wife is only a year older than me, and you dare to marry a nineteen-year-old girl. Why can¡¯t you treat me as an adult? Besides, I wasn¡¯t wrong when I said that you had a lot on your mind. You even went out for a smoke a few nights ago.¡± Zuo Hancheng smiled, but it was obvious that he did not really mean it. ¡± Brother, let me ask you something.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly leaned over to his side.¡± ¡°What?¡± She suddenly held his arm and leaned against him intimately. She leaned her head on his shoulder.¡±If I lean on you like this, will your heart beat faster?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Hancheng looked at her as if she was a lunatic.¡±¡±If you¡¯re sick, go get treated. Why are you acting crazy here?¡± ¡°I was just asking.¡± Zuo Yue blinked and looked at him.¡± I¡¯m just asking you. Will you feel anything different?¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng pulled his arm away with a look of disgust.¡±¡±I don¡¯t feel anything. How can my own sister feel anything?¡± Exactly, what kind of feelings could there be between family members? However, her feelings for Xu Chengfeng were so strong that it was not just a simple attraction. She had really let her guard down. It was really love¡­ Chapter 1052 - Chapter 1052: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (137) Chapter 1052: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (137) She could tell that the relationship between Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao was not as intimate and stable as she had imagined. Even Zuo Yue felt that Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng were in a certain stage of love, but they had not completely opened their hearts. As someone who had just been hurt emotionally, Zuo Yue could only play dumb every day in the Gilded Scenic Garden. In the end, Zuo Hancheng brought Gu Anhao home with serious injuries within a few days. Didn¡¯t Gu Anhao go for her exams? Why did it look like he was participating in a Japanese sumo wrestling competition? Injured like this? Seeing Gu Anhao¡¯s state, Zuo Yue still took the initiative to take care of her out of sympathy. Although she knew that Zuo Hancheng had lied and made it sound like he was seriously injured to tease her, Zuo Yue could also see how much her brother cared about Gu Anhao. Hence, he took the opportunity to ease his relationship with Gu Anhao and reluctantly accepted this sister-in-law who was only one year older than him. After getting along for a few days, Zuo Yue could not stand the couple¡¯s awkwardness or the occasional display of affection. It was really enough. They were clearly married, but they still did not sleep together! Did she think that Zuo Yue was stupid and could not see through the tricks between the two of them? So Zuo Yue decided to hide outside. After hiding outside for two days, she finally received a call from America. The result was that Xu Chengfeng had canceled his plan to go to A City ahead of time. He would return to Russia in two days and would not have time to bring her back to America. At that time, Zuo Yue was in a hotel room near Liu Jing Garden to avoid seeing her brother and sister-in-law showing off their affection. She slowly put down the phone and looked at the neon lights outside the window. After a long time, she entered Xu Chengfeng¡¯s private number on the phone again. After looking at it for a while, she called him. Her number had not changed, but his number¡­When she heard the sound of the call being connected, she was sure that his private number had not changed. At least he had his private phone with him and did not deliberately change the number to avoid her. It rang for a long time, but no one answered. Zuo Yue did not give up and continued to call. This time, it was picked up after a few rings. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± She could no longer remember how many days had passed. Suddenly, she heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice again. Even though the voice sounded cold and clear without any warmth, Zuo Yue could not help but feel a wave of emotions in her heart. She calmed down for a moment.¡± You canceled your plan to come to City A. Is it because you already planned to cancel it, or because you don¡¯t want to see me?¡±¡± The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before whispering,¡±Why did you suddenly go to A City?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not important.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were a little red, but she deliberately spoke in a cold voice so that he would not hear the trembling and fragility in her voice.¡±¡±I¡¯m only asking you, did you cancel the plan to avoid me, or am I overthinking?¡± ¡°You¡¯re overthinking it. The places I come to China to talk about finance often change. Beijing, Shanghai, and Shen Zhen were the areas he frequented. Although City A was a prosperous city in the coastal area, it had little to do with the financial business in Russia.¡± Zuo Yue bit her lip and slowly lowered her hand from the window. She said hoarsely,¡±¡±Uncle, will we really never see each other again?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Why did you suddenly run to China?¡±Xu Chengfeng asked her the same question. Zuo Yue sniffed. She didn¡¯t dare to tell him that even though she said that she had given up, she still instinctively wanted to look for him, even if it was just a little closer to him. These days, because she knew that he was also in China and that he might come to A City soon, she felt that there was hope in her life when she woke up every morning. However, he did not expect that his hopes would be dashed so quickly. ¡°I¡­ I came out to relax¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything else. She did not know if he was very busy. Zuo Yue looked at the time. It was already past ten o¡¯clock at night, and he still hadn¡¯t rested. Could it be that he was busy outside? ¡°That¡­ Uncle, if you¡¯re busy, I¡¯ll hang up¡­I just wanted to ask the question just now¡­¡± As she spoke, she slowly put the phone down from her ear. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Just as the call was about to be hung up, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded on the other end of the phone. Zuo Yue quickly put the phone back to her ear,¡±¡±Please speak.¡± ¡°When are you leaving?¡± ¡°Leave? Are you going back to America?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. My mom can tell that I don¡¯t want to go back for the time being. She said that she couldn¡¯t find anyone trustworthy to pick me up, but she¡¯s actually giving me a chance to relax here. However, I don¡¯t want to cause trouble for my brother. After all, my brother is married now and not single. I can¡¯t stay by his side for too long, but my brother kept my passport, so I can¡¯t leave by myself.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything when he heard her deliberately rambling on. Zuo Yue did not know if he was listening to her nagging, so she could only say,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll leave either¡­¡± She vaguely heard Xu Chengfeng sigh. Hearing his sigh, her heart trembled. She suddenly said,¡±Did I disturb you? I¡¯m sorry. You already planned to never see me again, but I still called you. If I cause you any trouble, I¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, don¡¯t talk about this.¡± Xu Chengfeng said softly. Zuo Yue bit her lip lightly. ¡°Are you with Zuo Hancheng?¡± ¡°No, I was staying at my brother¡¯s place before, but I¡¯ve been out for the past two days.¡± ¡°They don¡¯t welcome you?¡± ¡°Of course not. My brother and sister-in-law are both very good. It¡¯s just that my brother is usually too busy, and his personality is the same as yours. He doesn¡¯t deliberately express his brotherly feelings, but I can see how much he takes care of me. Moreover, my sister-in-law makes him worry about me every day.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a few days, and you¡¯ve actually grown up.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes.¡± ¡°No.¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled. Hearing him laugh, Zuo Yue felt the pain in her heart lessen a lot, but his next words still made her feel cold all over. ¡°Rest early. You¡¯re not familiar with China, so go back to America as soon as possible. Don¡¯t waste your time on unimportant people or things, and don¡¯t blindly search for them.¡± Zuo Yue did not speak, as if all her thoughts had been seen through in an instant. ¡°As long as I don¡¯t want you to find me, you¡¯ll never see me again. So don¡¯t come out again. Go back early. Be good and listen to me.¡± Chapter 1053 - Chapter 1053: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (138) Chapter 1053: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (138) The next day. At dawn. Zuo Yue opened her eyes after a sleepless night. The words that sounded gentle yet ruthless were still echoing in her ears. It crushed her heart into a ball. ¡°As long as I don¡¯t want you to find me, you¡¯ll never see me again.¡± She closed her eyes, and the same words still echoed in her ears. She suddenly sat up and looked at the time expressionlessly. Then, she lay down and closed her eyes to force herself not to think about it. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to make it past eight o¡¯clock. Zuo Yue sat up and put on her clothes as she picked up her phone and was about to call Mobai. However, the doorbell suddenly rang outside the room. Zuo Yue paused and quickly walked over. When she opened the door, she saw Mobai standing outside with breakfast in his hands. Zuo Yue glanced at him. She didn¡¯t have the usual intention of joking with him. She turned around and walked in. Noticing that this young lady wasn¡¯t in a good mood today, Mobai rubbed his nose and walked in. He placed the breakfast on the table.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?¡± ¡°Help me book a flight back to America for today or tomorrow. I can go back by myself, but if my mother insists that she¡¯s worried and afraid that I¡¯ll run around, you can send someone to follow me. I promise I¡¯ll go back to America obediently.¡±Zuo Yue said as she packed her luggage.¡±As soon as possible. I want to go back as soon as possible.¡± Mobai looked at her hesitantly for a moment.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to stay in China? Why are you leaving so soon?¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t explain. She only looked up at him.¡±I suddenly miss home.¡± He noticed that her eyes were bloodshot, as if she hadn¡¯t slept well last night. Mobai looked at her for a while and nodded.¡±I¡¯ll go to the company and talk to President Zuo later. If there¡¯s no objection from President Zuo, I¡¯ll arrange it for you as soon as possible.¡± Zuo Yue nodded and did not say anything else. ¡°Eat something. President Zuo specially asked me to bring you breakfast. He knows that he won¡¯t eat on time if he comes out to live.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry. How¡¯s sister-in-law? Is she alright?¡± ¡°She¡¯s fine. Gu Anhao¡¯s body looks like it¡¯s been tempered a thousand times.¡±Mobai smiled. Zuo Yue also laughed along.¡± I can see that you all like her. It seems that my brother has fallen into the web of love. It¡¯s estimated that the day when he brings his wife back to the Zuo family in the United States is not far away. I just don¡¯t know how angry Grandpa will be when he finds out.¡±¡± Mobai also laughed.¡± No one can explain the matters of love, but the elders definitely can¡¯t force it.¡±¡± The smile on Zuo Yue¡¯s face quickly disappeared.¡±¡±Does Gu Anhao know my brother well?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not very clear about this, but that girl¡¯s heart is quite big.¡± ¡°Looks like I should talk to her about my brother more before I leave. I reckon she doesn¡¯t even know that my brother¡¯s birthday is coming up.¡±Zuo Yue pursed her lips. Her love life was not going well. Now that she knew that Zuo Hancheng had someone he liked and was married, she could add fuel to the fire. At least, her trip to China would not be in vain. Not knowing what Zuo Yue was thinking, Mobai opened the breakfast box.¡±¡±Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild at such a young age. Eat your breakfast on time. You¡¯re only eighteen years old.¡± Knowing that Mobai always treated her as a twelve or thirteen year old child, Zuo Yue could not be bothered to correct him. After thinking for a while, she walked over to the table and sat down. She picked up a small steamed bun with her chopsticks and took a bite. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Okay, then you go ahead. I¡¯ll go back to the company and see if President Zuo will agree to let me book a plane ticket for you for the next two days. Are you sure you want to go back by yourself?¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± Look at me now. Do you think I can still run around on my own?¡± My mom and brother just want someone to supervise me. I don¡¯t care if you supervise me or not. I¡¯m going back to America anyway.¡± Mobai smiled again.¡± ***** Zuo Hancheng knew his sister well. He could guess whether she was lying or whether she was really determined to return to the United States obediently without even looking at her expression. Mobai had only gone back to inform Zuo Hancheng, and Zuo Hancheng had let him go. The next day, she did not expect Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao to send her off. While they were sitting in the car, Zuo Yue pulled Gu Anhao and talked about Zuo Hancheng non-stop. She even secretly told Gu Anhao about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s birthday in a few days. The two little girls chatted non-stop until they reached the airport. Zuo Yue still had a smile on her face as if nothing was on her mind. She bid them farewell as if nothing had happened. Zuo Hancheng did not say a word throughout the journey. He only glanced at her occasionally as if he had noticed something, but he did not say anything. When she walked into the airport lobby, he said in a low voice behind her that Gu Anhao could not hear,¡±¡±The road of life is very long. You have to choose the right direction. Neither father nor brother can choose the future path for you. You have to be clear-headed, rational, and grow up quickly.¡± When Zuo Yue heard it, she immediately turned to look at Zuo Hancheng. However, when she turned around, Gu Anhao was standing beside Zuo Hancheng with a curious face and asking all sorts of questions. Zuo Hancheng smiled and patted Anhao¡¯s shoulder, as if he was not the one who patiently told Zuo Yue those words. This was her brother. Although he looked quiet and distant, he still cared about her. Zuo Yue smiled and said goodbye to them formally. She went to check in and saw that Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao were still standing not far away. They had not left yet. She turned around and waved at them. She held her suitcase tightly and turned around to walk towards the security checkpoint. She walked towards the direction of the security checkpoint and saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. She stopped and slowly turned her eyes to look at the man who walked out of the crowd not far away. The person she hadn¡¯t seen for more than half a month, the person who had told her on the phone last night that as long as she didn¡¯t want to be found, she would never see him again. He was now standing ten meters away from her. His clear and calm black eyes were looking in her direction accurately. When she stopped in her tracks and looked at him, he walked towards her step by step. ¨C [There will be more updates later. Dear friends, continue to watch. There will be more today. In addition, regarding the story of Zuo Yue running away from home to A City, there was a slight time deviation in the side story, but the difference was not more than half a month. The plot was also slightly modified, so don¡¯t take it too seriously. The change of the supporting characters and the main characters in the story required the author to re-control the plot, so it was not necessary to deliberately compare it with the plot in the main text.] Chapter 1054 - Chapter 1054: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (139) Chapter 1054: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (139) Did she see wrongly? Or was she still dreaming? Zuo Yue gripped the handle of her suitcase tightly. She thought that the person walking over was just an illusory shadow. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and lowered her head as she walked past him as if nothing had happened. The other side of the luggage handle was suddenly grabbed by someone. Zuo Yue could no longer pull it. She paused and did not turn around. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any intention of explaining his sudden appearance. Instead, he turned to look at her.¡±Aren¡¯t you planning to stay in A City for a few more days?¡± Zuo Yue was silent for a moment before turning around.¡±¡±I¡¯ve been in A City for quite a long time. There¡¯s no reason for me to stay any longer.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything else. Instead, he took her luggage and grabbed her wrist. He led her to the VIP lounge behind the registration area. Zuo Yue knew that her strength was no match for him, but she really did not know why he had suddenly appeared here, nor did she know what he wanted to do now. She struggled for a while, but she could not move. She had already been brought to the lounge by him, and was even brought to the sofa in the lounge. ¡°Here I wait for my name to be confirmed¡± As he spoke, he took the boarding pass and passport from her.¡±I¡¯ll go and check in again.¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not explain. He turned around and was about to leave when Zuo Yue stood up.¡±I¡¯ve already done it. I¡¯ll fly off in an hour. If I do it again now, do I have to change to another flight or something?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Xu Chengfeng left after saying that. Zuo Yue stood in place and looked at his figure. Suddenly, she rushed over and wanted to snatch the boarding pass and passport from his hands. Xu Chengfeng was keenly aware of her movements and only raised his hand slightly to avoid her snatching. At the same time, he turned his face and looked at her calmly.¡±Don¡¯t mess around. Go inside and sit down and wait for me.¡± ¡°You said that as long as you don¡¯t want me to find you, I will never be able to find you again. What are you doing now? Didn¡¯t he say that he had canceled his plan to come to City A? Why did you suddenly appear at the airport? I can go back by myself. I don¡¯t need you to send me back!¡±Zuo Yue stretched out her hand to snatch it again. Xu Chengfeng looked down at her. Or did he just randomly turn around and want to run to another place?¡± Zuo Yue glared at him. Didn¡¯t he want to completely cut ties with them? Wasn¡¯t he so decisive? Why are you here to control me now? I called you that night just to confirm if you would come to A City. I don¡¯t have any other intentions. I definitely didn¡¯t ask you to accompany me back to America!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, nor did he intend to explain anything. He only watched as she kept reaching out to snatch the things in his hands. His hand gently pressed her back.¡±Go and wait for me. I don¡¯t want to repeat myself too many times.¡± Zuo Yue immediately glared at him angrily.¡± Xu Chengfeng turned around and signaled for the service staff and security guards in the VIP lounge to come over and forcefully block her in the lounge so that she wouldn¡¯t run around. Zuo Yue stood in front of the lounge door and gritted her teeth as she watched Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back view. He could leave so decisively, and he could do things so ruthlessly. He could even smash her heart to the ground over the phone. Now, he suddenly appeared and wanted to send her back to the United States personally. What did he mean? Was it fun to torture her? If he really wanted to completely disappear, if he really wanted to break her heart so much that she would never have any illusions about him again, he would not appear! Zuo Yue took a deep breath and suddenly turned around to walk back to her suitcase. She lowered her head and looked at her suitcase. She had an urge to smash something. After suppressing this urge, she took a deep breath and turned around to get a disposable cup to pour herself some cold water. She drank it in big gulps and forced herself to calm down. She squeezed the disposable cup in her hand until it was almost deformed. ¡°Miss, that gentleman just now said that he was your guardian. I¡¯m sorry to make you feel unhappy here, but at your age, you should still listen to your elders.¡±A young-looking staff member in the VIP lounge walked over and said to her with a smile. Generally, the staff in the airport had good manners, but in fact, they had seen too many scenes, so they were cold by nature. Suddenly, when she heard someone coming over to comfort her, Zuo Yue immediately turned to look at the staff.¡±How can you tell that he¡¯s my elder?¡± The staff member smiled.¡± He showed his ID when he booked the VIP lounge. We checked your ID when you came in. He¡¯s your uncle. Isn¡¯t that right?¡±¡± When Zuo Yue heard the word ¡®uncle¡¯, she almost smashed the deformed cup in her hand to the ground. She suppressed her emotions and threw the cup of water into the dustbin beside her. She turned around and paced back and forth in the VIP lounge with nowhere to vent her anger and resentment. Twenty minutes later, Xu Chengfeng had checked in for the two of them and returned to the lounge. Zuo Yue happened to walk to the door. The moment he walked in, their gazes met. Zuo Yue looked at the boarding pass in his hand and said with an ugly expression,¡±Is that necessary? Did my mom call you these two days to ask you to send me back? Or did something happen?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xu Chengfeng handed her the boarding pass.¡± It¡¯s still the same flight you booked before. However, you added my seat when there was an empty seat. It¡¯s still in the first-class cabin by the window. There¡¯s no change.¡±¡± Zuo Yue took it, but her expression was very dark. Without saying a word, she turned around and sat down on the sofa. There was less than an hour left until the check-in time. She had not even gone through the security checkpoint yet, but she had almost forgotten the procedures before boarding the plane. She just sat on the sofa silently. Seeing her stubborn temper, Xu Chengfeng walked over to her. He glanced at her, who was obviously angry but was unwilling to talk to him. He chuckled. She was still childish. ¡°The original plan to go to A City has been canceled, but I changed my schedule at the last minute. I just arrived in A City today, and my assistant is still handling the procedures at the domestic flight procedures.¡±Xu Chengfeng seemed to be explaining the cause and effect. He said softly,¡±I didn¡¯t expect to see you at the airport.¡± Chapter 1055 - Chapter 1055: Asking the Moon on the Wind (140) Chapter 1055: Asking the Moon on the Wind (140) So it was just a coincidence. ¡°Since you didn¡¯t expect to see me here, I really didn¡¯t plan to let you send me off. Why do you have to do this?¡±Zuo Yue raised her eyes and looked at him seriously.¡±Mr. Xu, I don¡¯t intend to pester you. My mother has always been worried about returning to the United States, so she has always insisted that someone must be by my side. I have hands and feet. If I can fly to China on my own, I can go back to the United States on my own.¡± ¡°I can be more or less at ease if I send you back to America personally. It just so happens that there are some things in Los Angeles that require me to go over. I changed my plan at the last minute and returned to America for a few days.¡±Xu Chengfeng sat on the sofa beside her.¡±¡±As your uncle, I can¡¯t watch you mess around outside.¡±¡± Uncle. Uncle? Heh. Zuo Yue fiddled with the passport in her hand and said coldly,¡±¡±Uncle? His status changed really quickly. Before he left, he could still hug her and kiss her so intimately. Now, he could ignore all her anger and awkwardness and calmly sit beside her as if he was her uncle. A staff member poured two glasses of water over. Xu Chengfeng took the glass and handed it to her. Zuo Yue did not take it and only turned her face away.¡±I drank it.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and placed the cup of water on the small coffee table between the two sofas. Then, he chuckled and said,¡±Don¡¯t throw a tantrum. You should know that I¡¯m just worried, so I specially accompanied you back. There¡¯s no other reason.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not imagining things. Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re my uncle? How dare I let my thoughts run wild when you¡¯re so straightforward? She left so heartlessly and straightforwardly. If I dare to think about it again, there must be something wrong with my brain.¡±Zuo Yue said as she packed up the identification documents in her hands. At the same time, she said,¡±¡±If you have the ability, then don¡¯t appear in front of me for the rest of your life.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say much when he heard her angry words. He only sighed and laughed when he saw her stifling her anger and having nowhere to vent it. At the age of eighteen, no matter how sensible he was, there were still too many unavoidable childishness. Zuo Yue was like this. She wanted to hide all her emotions, but she couldn¡¯t hide them completely. Every time she was angry but didn¡¯t want others to know, it was so funny. Zuo Yue did not know that she was like a child in the eyes of some people. The big hole in her heart was still hurting. She would not give this bastard the chance to continue tearing her heart apart. A few minutes later, Xu Chengfeng forcefully brought Zuo Yue, who had been unwilling to cooperate, to the security checkpoint of the international flight. According to the time of their flight, it was already very late for them to get there now, so Zuo Yue could not delay any longer. She could only cooperate all the way until they entered the departure hall. She directly walked to the seat closest to the boarding gate and sat down. She kept as far away from him as possible with an expression of a punching bag. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and did not sit beside her as she wished. He put her luggage aside and sat on the other side of the chair. Zuo Yue quietly turned her eyes and saw that he was on the phone. From what she occasionally heard from him, she could tell that he was explaining his schedule and temporary changes in China and A City, including his temporary trip to the United States. It was not until Xu Chengfeng hung up the phone that Zuo Yue suddenly turned her eyes away as if nothing had happened. It was not until they got on the plane that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s seat was connected to hers. The two of them sat very close to each other. Zuo Yue could not help but feel the breath around him. The suffocating feeling made her instinctively turn her face to the window. She refused to look at him no matter what. Xu Chengfeng asked for a pillow and blanket from the flight attendant. When the blanket covered him, Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him. Xu Chengfeng was leaning over to help her put on a pillow and a blanket. Because of her sudden movement, their faces were very close to each other. Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment and looked at him without moving. Xu Chengfeng did not retreat immediately. He only looked at her from a close distance for a moment. His gaze even swept past her lips, causing Zuo Yue to feel a chill in her heart. However, when he placed the pillow behind her and covered her with the blanket, he retreated as if nothing had happened. Zuo Yue was unable to calm down and her face froze for a long time. Then, she turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting at the side with a calm expression, picking up the magazines and newspapers handed to him by the flight attendant. ¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly picked up the blanket on her body and was about to throw it back at him. Xu Chengfeng held her hand down.¡±¡±You probably haven¡¯t slept well these two days. It¡¯ll take at least ten hours to fly back to Los Angeles.¡± ¡°Who told you that I didn¡¯t sleep well?¡± Zuo Yue expressionlessly threw the blanket back at him.¡±¡±I slept very well. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t argue with me. Since I¡¯m sending you back, you have to be obedient along the way. Do you want us to quarrel whenever we meet? Or are you so awkward when you meet?¡± Xu Chengfeng put the blanket back on her and said calmly,¡±¡±I can give you some time to get used to it, but it won¡¯t be long.¡± Ever since Zuo Yue heard what he said on the phone that night, she did not sleep well. He hadn¡¯t had a good rest in China recently because of the jet lag. He had barely slept for the past two nights. Although the dark circles under his eyes weren¡¯t particularly obvious for the time being, the red veins in his eyes were indeed obvious. When Xu Chengfeng saw her at the airport, he should have known that she had not slept well for the past two days. However, he did not say anything and only guided her step by step until now. A man who knew everything in his heart could always remain calm. When he loved, he didn¡¯t express it, but when he left, he was decisive. How did such a man survive in this world? Zuo Yue didn¡¯t say anything else. She covered herself with the blanket again and closed her eyes, intending to sleep and not think about him anymore. Anyway, Xu Cheng also said that he was only sending her back to the United States safely and to the Zuo family, but he did not intend to stay with her forever. After he returned to the United States, he still had things to do. They would probably go their separate ways when they reached Los Angeles airport. They were just companions on this plane. Zuo Yue closed her eyes. The plane had already flown steadily. The people around her were very quiet. Only the flight attendants walked back and forth occasionally, but their movements were very light and slow so that they would not disturb anyone. In such a quiet atmosphere, Zuo Yue could hear the sound of the person beside her flipping through the magazine. Chapter 1056 - Chapter 1056: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (141) Chapter 1056: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (141) After an unknown amount of time, that person flipped another page. He seemed to be engrossed in reading and was not as confused as she was. Zuo Yue suddenly opened her eyes. Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Zuo Yue said expressionlessly. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while and closed the magazine in his hand.¡±¡±I have to sleep even if I can¡¯t. I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m like now. The red veins in your eyes are so serious. How worried will your mother be when she returns to the United States?¡± ¡°Of course my mother is worried, because she¡¯s my biological mother.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him. Xu Chengfeng, are you worried?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± Don¡¯t try to trick me. Hurry up and sleep.¡±¡± How could he look so calm? Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him and closed her eyes, but she was not sleepy. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked forward. She turned to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. She was so upset that her fingers were twisted together. ***** During the ten hours on the plane, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have only fulfilled his responsibility of sending her back to the United States safely. He did not have too much intimacy, nor did he say anything because of her emotions. The two of them seemed to have returned to the relationship between uncle and niece in an instant. He would not care too much about her, nor would he pay special attention to her. This feeling was really terrible! After Zuo Yue got off the plane, he carried his suitcase and walked forward quickly. He was on the verge of exploding. The Zuo family, who had already known that Zuo Yue would be back today, had already sent Wang Ma and Uncle Chen to the airport. Zuo Yue walked out. Xu Chengfeng was about to take her luggage when Zuo Yue turned around and snatched it back. At the same time, she turned to look at him angrily.¡±I have my own hands!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him. She carried her suitcase and turned around as she said coldly,¡±I¡¯m very calm! You should be busy with your things. I¡¯ve already arrived at the airport. The Zuo family is here to pick me up. You don¡¯t have to worry about me! Goodbye!¡± When he said this, he suddenly turned his eyes and looked fiercely at the man who was so calm that he almost deserved a beating.¡±No! I¡¯ll never see you again!¡± Xu Chengfeng was speechless. Mother Wang and Uncle Chen were outside the airport lobby. When they saw Zuo Yue, they quickly came in. At the same time, they saw Xu Chengfeng coming from behind and immediately nodded politely at him.¡±Mr. Xu!¡± Xu Chengfeng was not very familiar with the people of the Zuo family, but he more or less recognized the servants of the Zuo family from many years ago. His attitude was more or less polite, and he nodded lightly in response. ¡°Miss Sun, you really went in a big circle this time, but you always came back safe and sound!¡±Wang Ma stepped forward and grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand. She said with a pained expression,¡±Did you suffer much? Didn¡¯t Mr. Zuo come back together? He hadn¡¯t been back for five years. Why didn¡¯t he take this opportunity to come back together?¡± ¡°My brother doesn¡¯t have time to send me off.¡± Zuo Yue casually said and walked out as if Xu Chengfeng did not exist. Xu Chengfeng seemed to have thought of something. He took a glance at Zuo Yue¡¯s back and turned on his phone. Less than a minute after he turned it on, a call came in. He remembered the call he received before he returned to America and the real reason why he went to City A to accompany Zuo Yue back to Los Angeles. His eyes darkened. He picked up the phone and looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s back. Xu Chengfeng did not say much when he heard the bad news on the other end of the phone, but his eyes darkened. Zuo Yue, Wang Ma, and Uncle Chen were putting their luggage into the car outside. She clapped her hands and closed the trunk door. She turned around and was about to get into the car when she saw Wang Ma and Uncle Chen seemed to be waiting for Xu Chengfeng. She immediately looked at them strangely.¡±Aren¡¯t you here to pick me up? He has his own matters to attend to when he goes back to America, so it shouldn¡¯t be on the same way as us.¡± Uncle Chen looked at Zuo Yue with a faint smile and didn¡¯t say anything. Wang Ma suddenly took Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and looked at her with heartache and regret.¡± Miss Sun, Mr. Zuo has already told Madam about your return two days ago, but Madam didn¡¯t let Mr. Zuo tell you before you came back. Even Mr. Xu probably didn¡¯t say much to prevent you from feeling too uncomfortable on the plane¡­¡± Zuo Yue saw Wang Ma¡¯s heavy expression and looked at her in confusion. She then looked at Xu Chengfeng who was walking out of the airport lobby. Her gaze moved away from the tall figure and turned back to Wang Ma.¡±What happened?¡± ¡°Old Master Xu suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital again yesterday. Recently, not only has Madam been busy with the company¡¯s matters, but the Xu family¡¯s matters have also made her anxious. She originally thought that Old Master Xu would be able to make it, but who knew¡­¡± ¡°Who knew that just two hours before you and Mr. Xu¡¯s plane landed, Mr. Xu already¡­¡± Wang Ma said regretfully. ¡°My grandfather?¡± Zuo Yue looked at Wang Ma in a daze. He¡­?¡± Xu Chengfeng had already walked over and stood behind Zuo Yue. He saw that she was still in a dream.¡±¡±Get in the car.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything, but from Uncle Chen and Wang Ma¡¯s eyes, as well as Xu Chengfeng¡¯s silent attitude along the way, she already understood. Grandpa was dead. Although she was not particularly close to the Xu family, her grandfather was also her family. He was the father of her mother and uncle. He was someone she had admired when she was young. Seeing that Zuo Yue was silent, Uncle Chen and Mother Wang looked at Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng let them get in the car first. When Uncle Chen and Mother Wang got into the car, Xu Chengfeng put his hand on Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder.¡±Get in the car first.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and shook his hand off. When Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes to look at her, she turned around and glared at him angrily.¡±If Grandpa doesn¡¯t die, do you really plan to never return to America again?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, these are two different things.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking about Grandpa! You never planned to return to the Xu family! In your eyes, no matter what, the Xu family is inferior to your KP Group! Everything you do in Russia! You will always have something that you feel is important and you will never give in to others! Whether it¡¯s me or Grandpa, you, Xu Chengfeng, have never given in! You lived in a world that only belonged to the underling. Now, Grandpa is dead! You don¡¯t have to bear the shackles of the Xu family anymore! Aren¡¯t you especially happy?!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her quietly and did not explain. The more he didn¡¯t speak, the angrier Zuo Yue became. Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed him hard.¡±Anyway, your heart has never been here! You don¡¯t belong in America! You can go! Let¡¯s go! The Xu family doesn¡¯t even need you to attend funerals! You go! Go! Don¡¯t appear again! Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and leave!¡± Chapter 1057 - Chapter 1057: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (142) Chapter 1057: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (142) ¡°Miss Sun!¡± Uncle Chen saw that Zuo Yue kept pushing and hitting Xu Chengfeng, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold and did not avoid her constant pushing and hitting. He quickly opened the car door and got out of the car, wanting to pull her back. ¡°Bastard! I always thought that Grandpa was the one who was sorry to you! I¡¯m always on your side! But Grandpa was already so old! He didn¡¯t get your forgiveness even until he died! I didn¡¯t get to see you return to the Xu family for your internship until the day I died! Xu Chengfeng, I suddenly realized that you¡¯re really a heartless bastard! You can go! Never come back! Let¡¯s go!¡± Zuo Yue shook off Uncle Chen¡¯s hand and threw herself into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms to hit him even harder. ¡°Miss Sun! Stop fighting! Mr. Xu, he¡­¡± Zuo Yue shook off Uncle Chen¡¯s and Wang Ma¡¯s hands, who had also gotten out of the car to dissuade her. She scolded as she pushed Xu Chengfeng to the car door. He did not say anything or resist, and her hatred became even more thorough. Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her hand that was slapping him non-stop. He firmly restrained her wrist and lowered his black eyes to look at the anger and tears in her eyes.¡±Yes, I am such a heartless person. You only saw it now? Do you regret it now?¡± Zuo Yue glared at him with reddened eyes. She raised her hand to hit him, but he firmly held her wrist and could not move it again. ¡°Miss Sun, stop calling. Get in the car quickly. The Xu family is still waiting for you to go back.¡±Wang Ma pulled her back and coaxed her. Zuo Yue ignored him and glared at Xu Chengfeng. Her eyes seemed to be spewing fire.¡±Let go!¡± Not only did Xu Chengfeng not let go of her, but he even tightened his grip on her. At the same time, he turned to look at Uncle Chen and Mother Wang.¡±You guys drive back with her luggage first. We¡¯ll be there soon.¡± ¡°This, Mr. Xu¡­¡± Uncle Chen and Mother Wang knew that Xu Chengfeng was Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, but they were worried when they saw the two of them in such a tense situation. ¡°I¡¯m not going with you!¡± Zuo Yue tried to shake his hand off.¡±¡±Let go of me!¡± ¡°Mr. Xu¡­¡± Wang Ma walked over and was about to say something, but she was suddenly frozen by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze and couldn¡¯t say it immediately. ¡°You have two choices. Either you get into the car obediently and go back to the Xu family immediately, or you take a taxi with me and leave alone. If you want to fight or scold me, we can talk about it alone.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze contained a hint of warning and coldness as he looked at the furious Zuo Yue. ¡± Humph!¡± Zuo Yue snorted.¡± You¡¯re such a heartless man, such a terrifying man. How could I leave with you alone?!¡±¡± As she said that, she swung her arm forcefully again.¡±Let go!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t make trouble, now you can safely and steadily get in the car?¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng said in a low voice. Zuo Yue turned her head and did not speak, but it was obvious that she had no intention of leaving alone with him. Uncle Chen and Mother Wang could tell that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s intention was to calm Zuo Yue down. They saw Zuo Yue pull her hands out of his hands and turn around to sit in the car. The two of them looked at each other and then looked at Xu Chengfeng. After all, the Xu family¡¯s matters were not something that they, the two servants of the Zuo family, could interfere with. They did not know what was going on, so they could only nod politely and respectfully to Xu Chengfeng. After all, the man in front of him was the Madam¡¯s younger brother, the heir of the Xu Group, and the head of the world-famous GN Group. Of course, he could not be easily offended. Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue, who was sitting in the car. Zuo Yue was sitting in the corner of the car. She took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her tears, but she was so quiet that she did not want them to find out that she was crying. The deceased was already dead. Old Master Xu¡¯s physical condition had been deteriorating day by day. Everyone knew that this was something that would happen sooner or later. However, as Zuo Yue¡¯s granddaughter, she could not help but feel uncomfortable. Besides, Zuo Yue was a girl who was sincere and sincere to everyone. When she felt sad, she would inevitably lose her mind. ¡°Mr. Xu, get in the car.¡± Uncle Chen said softly. Xu Chengfeng got into the car. Zuo Yue seemed to suddenly hate him. She probably turned her face away even more, as if she did not want to see him again. Xu Chengfeng did not sit beside her. His phone rang again. It was Xu Yuan. He glanced at the number displayed on the phone and sighed faintly. After picking up the phone, he said calmly,¡±We¡¯re already here. We¡¯ll rush back to the Xu family as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue still doesn¡¯t know about Dad¡¯s death, right? Don¡¯t tell her yet, she doesn¡¯t seem to be in a good mood recently. Let Aunt Wang and Uncle Chen send her back to the Zuo family first, then tell her when the funeral officially starts in a few days. Give her some time to relax. You go back to the Xu family today, don¡¯t talk about Zuo Yue¡­¡± ¡°She already knows,¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s tone on the other end of the phone choked. She was silent for a long time before she said,¡±Although Zuo Yue and her grandfather aren¡¯t particularly close, they still have feelings for each other. She¡¯s probably very sad right now. The little girl has been spoiled by us. When she¡¯s unhappy, no matter what she says or does, you have to bear with her.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue, who had been stubbornly sitting in the corner and covering her eyes with a tissue. He said softly,¡±¡±I know that she will have emotions when she is unhappy. Don¡¯t worry, she will calm down very quickly.¡± ¡± That¡¯s good. I thought that you and Zuo Yue would be able to come back earlier so that I could have a look at Dad, but who knew¡­¡± Xu Yuan felt very uncomfortable on the other side of the phone.¡± The Zuo family has already come to the Xu family¡¯s side. The funeral will probably be held in a big way in the next few days. There will be many representatives from the Xu Corporation and the board of directors coming over. If they get together and talk about the heir and your background, please bear with it. I haven¡¯t had the chance to get Dad¡¯s DNA and those certificates done recently. Now that Dad has left, I don¡¯t think those certificates and DNA are important anymore. Anyway, Chengfeng, the Xu family needs you now.¡± ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll consider it. You guys go ahead with your matters over there. I¡¯ll be there soon.¡±Xu Chengfeng hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Zuo Yue was still sobbing silently at the side. Occasionally, she would wipe her eyes with a tissue, but she hid from everyone so that no one could see her crying. Although there was some distance between them, the car was very quiet. The driver didn¡¯t dare to make a sound, and Mother Wang and Uncle Chen didn¡¯t dare to say a word. Xu Chengfeng could easily hear Zuo Yue¡¯s occasional sobbing. When he heard another sob, Xu Chengfeng directly sat beside Zuo Yue. He put his arm around her shoulder and forcefully turned her around, looking at her red eyes. Chapter 1058 - Chapter 1058: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (143) Chapter 1058: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (143) Zuo Yue refused to look at him and turned her face to the side. However, Xu Chengfeng still held her shoulders firmly and said in a low voice,¡±¡±Your mother did not intend for you to inherit the Xu family¡¯s business when she asked you to study medicine.¡± Zuo Yue seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in his words and immediately raised her hand to shake his hand away. Xu Chengfeng pressed her down.¡± Don¡¯t hide, look at me, Zuo Yue.¡±¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red as she turned her head away without saying a word. ¡°You¡¯re already eighteen years old. Everything has yet to take shape. If the executives and directors of the Xu Corporation plan to take advantage of my background to take a share of the Xu Corporation¡¯s assets, Zuo Yue, you have the absolute right to stand up and inherit everything in the Xu family.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at her.¡±¡±At a time like this, you still want to push everything about the Xu family out?¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly smiled, which made Zuo Yue¡¯s hair stand on end. She did not understand his intentions at all. However, Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and gently patted her head, as if he was treating a diluted treasure, or as if he was treating a child who had yet to fully understand the ways of the world. He said gently, Later you¡¯ll understand, now calm down, listen to my arrangement, hmm?¡± Zuo Yue looked at him, then lowered her eyes to look at the hands that were holding her shoulders. His eyes dimmed, but he did not answer. Xu Chengfeng stroked her hair gently, knowing that she was carefully considering the situation of the Xu family. On the surface, the Xu family seemed to be a prestigious family. It was a business family that relied on the funds of the Xu Group to gain a foothold in the United States. However, there were many complicated things within the Xu Group. Once his grandfather passed away, too many complicated things within the Xu family would gradually surface. Xu Chengfeng indeed had the courage to control everything. Once the Xu Corporation fell into his hands, he could indeed quickly clear all obstacles. However, the biggest problem in front of Xu Chengfeng was that the directors of the Xu Group had never admitted that he was the son of the Xu family on the grounds that his background was unclear. This was the most important issue. Moreover, Xu Chengfeng was the president of the GN Group. If he took over Xu Enterprise in this capacity, the board of directors would take the opportunity to cause trouble. At that time, Xu Enterprise, which had just lost Old Master Xu, would not only suffer a simple blow, but it might even fall apart overnight. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t know much about these, but she knew some of the key problems of the Xu Corporation. She suddenly raised her hand and pushed his hand away from her shoulder. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything when he saw her action. He only looked down at her deeply and let go of her hand. Zuo Yue continued to move to the side. She didn¡¯t want to talk to him, but her mind was more or less clear. She didn¡¯t want to carry so many responsibilities. She had seen her brother take on too many responsibilities since she was young, and she knew how hard it was to grow up. Everything would have to wait until they returned to the Xu family. Her mother was already worried enough. If the directors of the Xu Corporation continued to cause trouble, who knew what trouble would happen. Perhaps if Xu Chengfeng had not expected this, he would not have returned even if his grandfather had died. They returned to the Xu family¡¯s house without a word. There were many cars parked outside the Xu family¡¯s house. There should be many people at home at this time. When Zuo got out of the car, he looked at the Xu family¡¯s house. Mother Wang and Uncle Chen were not members of the Xu family. They were only responsible for sending them here and did not intend to go in. Xu Chengfeng walked in front while Zuo Yue walked behind him. The two of them looked as if they really had nothing to do with each other. It was as if nothing had happened as they walked through the door calmly. When Xu Yuan saw them, she quickly walked over and pulled Zuo Yue over. When she saw Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes that looked like she had cried, she immediately hugged her daughter with heartache.¡±Go up and rest first. I have something to say to your uncle.: Zuo Yue did not utter a word, nor did she turn around to look at Xu Chengfeng. She walked in quickly and left their side as if she was escaping. Xu Yuan turned around and looked in the direction of the left moon, then turned to Xu Chengfeng.¡±¡±Chengfeng, a few people from the board of directors have already come today. Because Dad has just passed away, there are some things that they can¡¯t say, but their attitude is very clear.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at the people from the Xu family who had come to prepare for the funeral.¡±I know.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go out and have a chat.¡± When Zuo Yue ran up the stairs, she did not return to her room immediately. She stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. When she saw her mother and uncle walk out, she took a deep breath and turned to go back to her room. ***** Two days later. Grandpa¡¯s funeral was neither grand nor low-key. Everything was done according to Grandpa¡¯s preference. Zuo Yue walked out of the auditorium. She was only wearing a black dress, and she was instantly bathed in the cold wind outside the auditorium. However, she was not in a hurry to go back. At this moment, everything was over. The board of directors had already begun to debate and pursue the various aspects of the Xu Corporation. She could not be bothered to listen. Besides, she had nothing to do now. Although Xu Chengfeng had planned to let her inherit the Xu Corporation¡¯s business, her mother did not have such plans, so she did not have to participate too much for the time being. As for the future¡­ Zuo Yue raised her hand and gently rubbed the goosebumps on her arm that had been frozen. She would talk about the future later. She had just walked to a bench in the square outside the auditorium. The bench was a little cold, but at least it was not snowing now. In the cold air, Zuo Yue¡¯s black dress did not look so eye-catching, and it was easy to be annihilated by the people who came and went to mourn. Suddenly, a black figure walked over. For the past two days, everyone in front of Zuo Yue was wearing either black or white clothes. After looking at them for a while, she looked up and saw that it was Little John who had accompanied Uncle John¡¯s family today. John Junior looked down at her thin dress, took off his black coat, and handed it to her.¡±Then, put it on.¡± Zuo Yue did not take it and shook her head.¡±¡±I¡¯m not cold.¡± ¡°Even if you¡¯re in a bad mood, there¡¯s no need to sit in the cold wind. If you¡¯re sick, it¡¯ll only be worse.¡±John Junior said as he put his coat behind her and sat beside her.¡±When my grandfather passed away a few years ago, I was also very sad, but everyone has a life of birth, old age, illness, and death. It¡¯s good to be optimistic. When you¡¯re old, you have a home to return to. Perhaps my grandfather just went to heaven to enjoy life and doesn¡¯t have to worry so much in the human world.¡± Chapter 1059 - Chapter 1059: Asking the Moon on the Wind (144) Chapter 1059: Asking the Moon on the Wind (144) Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± You make it sound so easy. This is the first time I¡¯ve encountered a life and death separation in my 18 years of life. I¡¯m still not used to it.¡±¡± John Junior shrugged.¡± No wonder. The older you get, the more you have to face life and death. You can¡¯t be down every time.¡± Right now, we can still pretend that we are young and don¡¯t need to care about anything. We can only care about being sad, but when we grow up a few years later, there will be a lot of responsibilities that we need to bear. There will be no space for us to be sad.¡± ¡°Like my mom? His father had died. He was clearly in pain, but he still had to face everyone.¡± ¡°Something like that. Aunt Xu is a very filial daughter and a very great mother. My parents admire your parents very much. For so many years, our family has been getting along so well with your Xu family and the Zuo family.¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand to support her chin and looked at the cold sky. She suddenly thought of Xu Chengfeng who had been standing with her mother for the past two days. It was as if nothing had happened, and he was still as calm as ever. She had been avoiding him for a few days, but every time she saw him standing in the auditorium in black with a calm expression, she could not help but feel a sharp pain in her heart. If Grandpa hadn¡¯t passed away, he probably wouldn¡¯t have appeared at City A¡¯s airport. How could a person who said that he would completely disappear from her world go back on his word? Zuo Yue¡¯s heart had been in a mess for the past few days. Looking at the sky now, she suddenly said,¡±¡±Uncle John and the others probably have to talk to my mother and the elders in the family for a long time. If you have nothing to do like me, do you want to go for a drink with me?¡± John Junior looked at her strangely.¡±¡±Now? Are you going to drink now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to go. I¡¯m just saying. I haven¡¯t slept well these past few days. I want to drink some wine to stop myself from being so focused on certain things.¡± John Junior suddenly glanced in the direction of the auditorium and thought for a moment before saying,¡±¡±My car is just across the street. Where do you want to go for a drink? I¡¯ll go with you. Let¡¯s go and come back quickly. Don¡¯t let the elders find out.¡± ¡°I knew you were loyal!¡± Zuo Yue finally smiled after these few days. She stood up and was about to leave. John Junior suddenly reached out to hold her down. When Zuo Yue looked at him in confusion, he lifted his hand and took the white flower from her lapel. Then, he gently placed it on the bench at the side. Then, he pointed to her long hair and the hair clip that also had a white daisy flower on it. Zuo Yue immediately understood. She raised her hand and took off the hair clip on her head. She had been dressed like this for the past two days. After all, she had to show respect to her deceased grandfather. However, since he wanted to escape and drink, he couldn¡¯t bring these things out. It would be disrespectful. She took out a rubber band and tied her hair up behind her head. Then, she gathered up the coat that belonged to John Junior and smiled.¡±Let¡¯s go.¡± Seeing that she had recovered so quickly, John Junior had wanted to say that he could accompany her to drink, but he didn¡¯t want her to drink too much, so he held back. Anyway, he wouldn¡¯t do anything to her. If he was really in a bad mood, he could just vent with her. John Junior smiled and put his arm around her shoulder as they walked in the direction of his car. As they walked, he said,¡±Why are you so skinny? It felt dry when he hugged it, and there was no fleshy feeling at all.¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. You have breasts, you have ass. There¡¯s nothing wrong with that. Are you a stock?¡± ¡°Tsk, but you can¡¯t be so thin. The last time I saw you, you weren¡¯t this skinny.¡±John Junior rubbed her shoulders even more intimately as he spoke.¡±You¡¯re not my girlfriend. If you were my girlfriend, I would definitely feed you until you¡¯re full every day so that you won¡¯t be so skinny.¡± ¡°Is there? I haven¡¯t measured my weight recently. When I look in the mirror, I feel no different from before¡­¡± ¡°How is there no difference? You look like you¡¯ve lost at least seven to eight pounds compared to the last time I saw you. Did something happen to you in the past few months? She wasn¡¯t fat to begin with, but now she was even thinner.¡± Zuo Yue smiled but did not answer. She felt that she had almost forgotten what had happened in the past few months. There were many things that she had deliberately wanted to forget, but they were all buried deep in her heart. A man who wanted to leave her life completely, and a man who could do it so decisively, seemed to have no need to remember. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a serious illness.¡±After John Junior asked a few more questions, Zuo Yue answered casually. John Junior patted her comfortingly.¡±¡±Do you know that your family wants to matchmake the two of us?¡± Zuo Yue immediately glanced at him.¡± ¡°The last time I saw you, I felt like you had someone else in your heart, and you didn¡¯t seem to have that thought at all. So I didn¡¯t say anything and just dragged you to play basketball. By the way, I had a deep impression of your uncle last time. When I saw him just now, I even went to greet him. In the end, he didn¡¯t seem to have a good impression of me and was very cold.¡± ¡°.. He¡¯s that kind of person, cold to everyone. I used to think that I could melt him.¡± Later on, she realized that she had only melted on the surface. Some people were still cold inside, heartless and cold, calm and hurtful. ¡°That¡¯s true. Your little uncle¡¯s serious appearance really makes people feel that strangers are not allowed to approach him.¡±John Junior opened the car door and motioned for her to get in. When Zuo Yue got into the car, he suddenly said,¡±¡±You should be single now, right? Can I pursue you, Zuo Yue?¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s just that the last time I saw you, there should be someone in your heart, and that person should be quite close to you. Now, it looks like you¡¯ve been heartbroken for a long time, so I wanted to take advantage of the loophole.¡±John Jr. smiled and closed the car door. He didn¡¯t continue the topic to avoid embarrassing her. Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment in the car. It was not until John Jr. went around the car door and opened the driver¡¯s seat door that she turned to look at him.¡±I think you¡¯re more suitable to be a good brother. I think you¡¯re not unfamiliar with Chinese. You should understand the concept of a good brother, right?¡± John Junior chuckled.¡± Yes, I know. I won¡¯t do anything if you refuse so straightforwardly. Besides, your grandfather just passed away.¡± Let¡¯s pretend I didn¡¯t say anything just now. Let¡¯s go drink!¡± Xu Chengfeng had just walked out of the auditorium when he saw Zuo Yue, who was wearing a man¡¯s coat, not far away. Little John had his arm around her shoulders and they got into the car intimately. Chapter 1060 - Chapter 1060: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (145) Chapter 1060: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (145) That night. After Xu Chengfeng received the call, he rushed to the bar. The cold and aloof Black Peak looked around the bar and walked inside. He caught a glimpse of Zuo Yue, who was already drunk and unconscious, leaning against the sofa in the card bag. Zuo Yue was sitting unsteadily on the sofa, muttering something. Little John, who was beside her, saw Xu Chengfeng arrive and quickly stood up to signal him. Xu Chengfeng walked over and glanced at the drunk Zuo Yue. His handsome brows furrowed slightly, and then he looked at John Junior coldly.¡±Since you have the guts to bring her out for a drink, why didn¡¯t you personally send her back after she drank too much?¡± John Junior spread his hands.¡± I wanted to send her back, but Zuo Yue refused to come with me after drinking too much. She¡¯s been¡­¡± He hesitated for a moment before clearing his throat and whispering,¡±¡±He kept talking about his uncle¡­ What heartless man¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes paused and he glanced at him. John Junior pretended not to understand anything and continued to spread his hands.¡±¡±And I was too loyal today. She said that she wanted to drink, so I brought her here. Now that she¡¯s so drunk, if I bring her back like this, not only will my parents suspect that I did something to her, but I think even the Xu family and the Zuo family will be dissatisfied with me.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked coldly at John Jr.¡¯s deliberately feigning ignorance and signaled with his eyes that she could leave now. Little John looked at him and then at Zuo Yue, who was drunk on the sofa. He seemed to have something to say, but he paused when the words reached his mouth. He looked at Xu Chengfeng meaningfully.¡± Mr. Xu, I¡¯ve never seen Zuo Yue so emotionally unstable before. It¡¯s only normal for her to be sad about her grandfather¡¯s death. However, it¡¯s not normal for her to drink so much and get so drunk¡­¡± ¡°So?¡± Xu Chengtong looked at him indifferently.¡± Seeing that Xu Chengfeng had no intention of being dragged in by his words, John Junior did not say anything more. He only glanced at Zuo Yue again, then picked up his coat and left. Only Xu Chengfeng and Zuo Yue were left in the card bag. Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue and walked over. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Zuo Yue seemed to have heard a familiar voice. She was in a daze for a moment and opened her eyes in a daze. She saw Xu Chengfeng standing against the light under the bright neon lights in the bar. His facial features looked obscure in the dark, and it was impossible to discern his true emotions and expressions. However, his cold and calm aura and his cold and frosty aura allowed her to easily distinguish who the man in front of her was. Zuo Yue looked at him blankly, thinking that she had drunk too much or was intoxicated in her dream. She simply leaned on the sofa and smiled indifferently. She raised her hand and waved at him.¡± Hi, Uncle!¡± Zuo Yue had a silly look on her face. While she smiled, her face turned red. She patted the seat beside her and said,¡±¡±Come, sit down. Do you want to have a drink together?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was cold as he looked at her drunken and silly appearance. His handsome brows were slightly furrowed, but he still held it in. From the moment Zuo Yue took the initiative to ask for an end, he had already forced himself to return to his senses. Even if his attitude and his determination would hurt her, it was much better than ruining her life. From that night when she called her in the hotel in A City to when she suddenly heard the bad news about the Xu family, she had no choice but to go to A City to accompany her back to the United States. It was until the past few days, when he brushed past her expressionlessly like a stranger, that his suppressed rationality had almost become a habit. However, this girl, who often acted out of line, was now so drunk. Xu Chengfeng looked at her like this and suddenly realized that the biggest problem he had encountered in his life was Zuo Yue. She was a girl who would never play by the rules and would always do whatever she wanted. When she realized that he was not sitting over, Zuo Yue felt that she could not control him even in her dreams. He even seemed to be unwilling to sit beside her. She immediately stood up shakily, but her body could not stand steadily at all. She kept shaking, but the moment she stood up, she still staggered two steps forward. She grabbed Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm and wanted to pull him.¡±Come, come and sit down. Let¡¯s drink together¡­This was a dream, and she had to be obedient in her dreams¡­Be good, come and sit down¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand only retracted slightly, and Zuo Yue suddenly leaned against him. Her two arms hugged his waist, burying her face in his chest. Her hands tightly grabbed the fabric of his waist, but she instantly sobbed in his arms.¡±Woo¡­ Uncle¡­My grandfather died¡­Wu¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed softly and raised his hand to pat her head gently. Zuo Yue was so weak in his arms that she did not have any strength at all. It felt like the whole world was spinning. The time in this dream was so uncomfortable. She suddenly raised her head to look at his face in his arms, but she couldn¡¯t see it clearly. He had his back to the light, and all his expressions were immersed in the darkness. It was too obscure. She stared blankly at his face in the dark and said,¡±¡±Uncle, I regret it¡­I shouldn¡¯t have said it was over¡­How could you leave so easily¡­I just don¡¯t want to be a burden to you¡­But you didn¡¯t even give me the right to secretly love you¡­ You don¡¯t even want to see me anymore, do you?¡± ¡°You drank too much. I¡¯ll send you back first.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at Zuo Yue, who was as drunk as a cat in his arms. There was still a trace of a half-smiling and half-crying expression on her red little face. Xu Chengfeng suppressed the emotions in his heart and was about to carry her directly. At this moment, John Junior, who had just left, suddenly turned around and walked back. When he walked to the side, he suddenly cleared his throat. Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her with a cold gaze.¡±How much did she drink?¡± John Junior saw Zuo Yue lying in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms and did not say anything. He only raised his finger and pointed at the empty wine bottles on the coffee table.¡±She drank all that. I only drank a small bottle of wine. I was afraid that I wouldn¡¯t be able to send her back after she drank too much, so I didn¡¯t drink much.¡± ¡°However, Mr. Xu.¡± ¡± I was worried just now,¡± John Junior said.¡± If you brought Zuo Yue back to the Xu family, would the Xu family¡­¡± Will you think too much¡­¡± John Junior¡¯s words were too suggestive, but when he caught Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze, he immediately rubbed his nose.¡±¡±Forget it, pretend I didn¡¯t say anything. I¡¯ve handed her over to you. She¡¯s not missing a single hair.¡± Zuo Yue was still snuggling tightly in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms, not moving. Her cat-like hot cheeks rubbed against his chest, as if she had finally obtained a sense of satisfaction. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment, then picked her up by the waist. On the other side, John Junior was still a little worried and deliberately dilly-dallying, not leaving the bar. In the blink of an eye, he saw Xu Chengfeng carrying Zuo Yue, who was giggling in his arms, walking out beside him as if he did not see anything around him. Chapter 1061 - Chapter 1061: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (146) Chapter 1061: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (146) ¡°Uncle, how can you be so heartless¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know how sad I am. It hurts¡­ I really want to see you again¡­¡± ¡°But you said that you wanted to completely disappear from my world. You said that as long as you didn¡¯t want me to find you, I would never be able to find you again¡­¡± ¡°How can you be so heartless¡­¡± Zuo Yue kept nagging. Xu Chengfeng carried her all the way to the car. When he opened the car door, he put his arm behind her and was about to carry her in when Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and buried her head in his arms.¡±I¡¯m in so much pain¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and frowned. He lowered his head and asked with concern,¡±¡±Where does it hurt?¡± ¡°It hurts¡­It hurts¡­¡± Zuo Yue sniffed and suddenly raised her head, looking like a dying fish that was about to lose its breath. Only then did Xu Chengfeng believe that she really seemed to be in pain. He immediately observed her body carefully and then held her head to look at her face. He did not find any injuries. As he was observing, Zuo Yue raised her hand and covered her heart.¡±It hurts! It hurts here!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand paused slightly. He looked at the little woman who was looking at him with reddened eyes, and sighed as he carried her into the car.¡±Stop fooling around. I warned you a long time ago not to drink anymore, especially not so much. Did you ignore my words?¡± ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Zuo Yue leaned against the leather chair and hammered her chest in discomfort.¡±¡±It hurts¡­It hurts every day¡­It hurts every day¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the little girl and quietly buckled her safety belt. Then, he tucked her messy hair behind her ear. He held her face and looked at her for a moment before letting go and closing the car door. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t know where he would take her, but she kept screaming in pain along the way. ***** The car stopped at a mountain villa area in Los Angeles. Xu Chengfeng carried Zuo Yue, who had fallen asleep, out of the car and carried her directly to a detached villa halfway up the mountain. The cold wind blew, and Zuo Yue instinctively curled up in his arms. She shivered and burrowed into his embrace. He lowered his eyes to see her uncomfortable expression and quickened his pace. The streetlights near the mountain villa area shone on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face. His face flickered between the night and the lights, and his expression was unusually cold and serious. Zuo Yue had been lying in his arms, not knowing where she was until Xu Chengfeng carried her into the villa and carried her all the way to the bedroom. Zuo Yue¡¯s body had just been placed on a wide and soft bed. She subconsciously opened her eyes, but in the darkness, she felt that the man beside her was Xu Chengfeng. She immediately raised her hand and grabbed his wrist as he was about to leave.¡±Don¡¯t go¡­Uncle¡­Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t go¡­¡± He could tell that she was still drunk and could not tell reality from a dream. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything and directly pulled her hand down. Even if Zuo Yue could not differentiate between reality and a dream, she could clearly feel that he seemed to be angry. She quickly sat up on the bed and staggered out of bed. Just as Xu Chengfeng was about to leave the bedroom, she pounced on him and hugged him tightly. Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks and his body stiffened instantly. Zuo Yue buried her head in his well-defined back and said with red eyes,¡±¡±Please don¡¯t disappear from my life. I¡¯d rather see you every day and feel uncomfortable than never see you again¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not seem to care about her. He pried her hands away from his body. Zuo Yue walked to him unwillingly. In the darkness, she raised her head and stubbornly looked at his face in the darkness.¡±Uncle, have you ever loved me? Have you ever loved me¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng couldn¡¯t take it anymore and raised his hand to hold her wrist. He lowered his eyes and looked into her confused eyes.¡±I¡¯ve already said what I should say. I won¡¯t argue with you now that you¡¯ve drunk too much. I¡¯ll go boil some water.¡± ¡°No!¡± Zuo Yue hugged him tightly just as he was about to push her away.¡±¡±Don¡¯t go anymore¡­ Uncle¡­Grandpa was dead¡­I don¡¯t have a grandfather anymore¡­ It was the first time I faced life and death¡­ Grandpa just lies there, so quiet¡­My heart is so uncomfortable¡­ However, I saw you standing beside me from afar, but I didn¡¯t dare to approach you¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng held her down and turned around to carry her to the bed. Zuo Yue continued to pester him until Xu Chengfeng threw her back onto the bed. The moment her body landed heavily on the bed, Zuo Yue was so dizzy that she could not sit up for a moment. She only groaned in discomfort on the bed and muttered,¡±I feel like vomiting¡­¡± ¡°Endure it!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned on the lights and walked out. Then, the lights in the living room lit up as well. This was a place that Zuo Yue had never been to before, but it had everything she needed. Xu Chengfeng went to boil water, and Zuo Yue tossed and turned in bed, feeling nauseous. In the end, she couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and got up from the bed. She staggered to the door and looked outside, but she didn¡¯t know where the bathroom was. She could only walk out with a confused and helpless expression. However, when she walked to the back of the sofa in the living room, she couldn¡¯t hold it anymore. She leaned against the back of the sofa and bent over to retch on the ground. However, she hadn¡¯t eaten much in the past two days. Although she had drunk a lot, she couldn¡¯t throw up. After retching for a long time, she finally leaned against the sofa in discomfort. Her body slowly went limp and she fell to the ground weakly. Then, she raised her head and looked around with a strange expression. Where was this place? Xu Chengfeng came out after boiling the water. When he saw Zuo Yue¡¯s expression, his brows furrowed slightly. He walked over, but he was not as gentle as before. He went forward and pulled her up. His actions were not gentle either. Zuo Yue stared blankly at him. He was half-drunk and half-awake, not knowing what to say, but he instinctively felt that he was angry. ¡°Zuo Yue, didn¡¯t I warn you not to drink anymore?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was cold. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes trembled and she barely recovered from her intoxicated state. Her eyes gradually regained focus as she looked at the man in front of her and said slowly,¡±¡±What does it have to do with you whether I drink or not? A man who had planned to leave my life completely. If it weren¡¯t for my grandfather¡¯s death, he wouldn¡¯t have appeared again. Why should he care about me?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was extremely cold in an instant. ¡°Why I drink, who I drink with, and whether I drink or not, it doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with you.¡±Zuo Yue looked at him indifferently and looked around at the same time.¡±¡±Where did you take me? Since this uncle¡¯s identity has changed so completely and he can be so calm, why didn¡¯t he bring me back to the Xu family directly?¡± Chapter 1062 - Chapter 1062: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (147) Chapter 1062: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (147) ¡°You want to go back to the Xu family like this? Let the elders of the Xu family see? Let them know that you went out and got drunk a few days after your grandfather passed away?¡±Xu Chengfeng completely ignored her unreasonable words.¡±¡±I haven¡¯t even held you accountable for running out to drink, and you dare to question me?¡± Zuo Yue glared at him. What right do you have to control me!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want me to care about your boycotts? Don¡¯t drink and cause so much trouble. Hasn¡¯t the Xu family been very peaceful these few days? Wouldn¡¯t it be good to continue like this? Time will be the best antidote. Why do you have to force yourself to this point?¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at him seriously.¡± Zuo Yue, this is the last time I¡¯m going to fool around with you. When we return to the Xu family tomorrow, you¡¯ll explain your whereabouts to your mother. I won¡¯t interfere in your affairs anymore.¡±¡± After saying that, Xu Chengfeng turned around decisively as if he did not intend to spare any face. Zuo Yue stood stiffly behind the sofa, one hand on the back of the sofa to support her body from falling down. When she heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s footsteps, she did not turn back, but her hand quietly tightened on the sofa. ¡°You¡¯re only willing to come back after Grandpa passes away. What if I¡¯m about to die? If I¡¯m about to die too, will you come back to see me?¡±She did not know if Xu Chengfeng had heard her, so she lowered her head and muttered to herself. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t want to be a burden to me anymore?¡± Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks. And how dangerous it is to be by my side? Since he said that he wanted to let go, why was he still talking so much nonsense now?¡± Zuo Yue chuckled.¡± That¡¯s right. I¡¯m just like that. I say I¡¯ll let go, but I¡¯m not willing to let go in my heart. In the end, some people leave so easily, as if we¡¯ll never see each other again. Why do I still remember such a heartless person?¡±¡± Zuo Yue was extremely dizzy. She forced herself to stand by the sofa, took a deep breath, and suddenly turned around.¡±¡±So since you can be so heartless, why do you care if I drink or not today? Even if I return to the Xu family in this state, it¡¯s my own business to be scolded by the elders of the Xu family and scolded by my mother.¡± As she spoke, she lifted her hand from the back of the sofa and walked towards the door with her weak steps. Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned to look at her. He saw that she had tried so hard to maintain her composure for so many days, but in the end, she still revealed her stubborn temper after being drunk. He simply turned around and walked over to grab her wrist. Zuo Yue stumbled into his arms and struggled to the side. Xu Chengfeng did not hug her forcefully. He merely lowered his eyes and looked at her with an extremely cold and distant gaze. He warned,¡±This is the mountainous villa area in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles. There are no taxis around here at this time, and I won¡¯t send you back drunk. If you¡¯re not afraid of an accident, just leave.¡± Zuo Yue turned to glare at him, but Xu Chengfeng had already put his hand away expressionlessly. ¡°Xu Chengfeng, how did you do it?¡±Zuo Yue looked at him in a daze.¡± How did you manage to be so gentle and passionate before you left? How did you manage to be so cold and heartless after you left?¡±¡± ¡°Keep your distance and maintain your rationality. This is the best outcome.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly.¡± I will make a mistake once, but I will never make a mistake a second time.¡±¡± Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground in a daze. Xu Chengfeng turned around to pour some water and placed it on the coffee table.¡±¡±There¡¯s no hangover medicine prepared here. When the water is no longer hot, drink a few more glasses to dilute the wine in your stomach and rest early.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Chengfeng brushed past her with a cold face and walked inside. ***** The next morning, Zuo Yue woke up with a terrible headache. She sat up with her head in her hands and looked at the unfamiliar bedroom again. She did not have a clear impression of what happened last night, but she could still vaguely remember it. She seemed to have drunk a lot, and then John Junior used her phone to call Xu Chengfeng. After Xu Chengfeng arrived, he took her away¡­ Zuo Yue lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She looked at the unfamiliar room again and opened the door. She did not see Xu Chengfeng. She seemed to have quarreled with him last night, but she could not remember what they had quarreled about. Zuo Yue rubbed her head as she walked around the living room. This place was very unfamiliar, but it had everything. It did not look like a newly bought house, but like someone had lived here before. Moreover, judging from the many decorations and traces of daily life, this seemed to be the residence of a single man. After walking for a while, she went to the bathroom and turned on the tap to wash her face with cold water. She forced down the headache and walked back to the living room after she woke up a little. She seemed to recall that when she and Xu Chengfeng returned to Los Angeles, she had taken the initiative to bring him around Los Angeles. However, his tone at that time did not sound like he had never lived in Los Angeles. On the contrary, he seemed to be very familiar with Los Angeles, but he did not explain too much. The others did not seem to know either. So this was where he had been staying in Los Angeles all these years? Zuo Yue walked to the window and looked outside. It looked like a villa area in a scenic area. The distance between the villas was very far. There was a car parked in the manor in front. It was the dark gray Porsche that she was very familiar with. She looked around again. Since the car was still there, it meant that Xu Chengfeng did not leave her alone. Could it be that he was still angry because she had been drinking yesterday and had said something irrational to argue with him? What did they fight about? Did she say anything nonsense? He had been trying his best to keep his distance for so many days, but he did not expect that after drinking too much, that nosy bastard John Junior would actually call Xu Chengfeng over. Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. Zuo Yue scratched her head in frustration and returned to the bedroom with a gloomy expression. She rummaged through the bedroom for a long time but could not find any clothes to wear. The clothes she wore yesterday smelled of alcohol and she was dressed in black. Looking at that black clothes reminded her of her grandfather¡¯s death and she could not bring herself to be in a good mood. She turned around and found Xu Chengfeng¡¯s room. When she opened the wardrobe, she saw some of his clothes inside. Although it looked like he hadn¡¯t lived here for a long time, and the few shirts here were still in last year¡¯s style, there wasn¡¯t much difference. She picked up a black shirt that seemed to be the longest, then turned around and went straight into the bathroom. After taking a shower, Zuo Yue felt that her hangover had finally subsided a lot. She put on the black shirt, blew her hair until it was half-dry, and walked out. Just as she walked into the living room, the door not far away was suddenly opened from the outside. Chapter 1063 - Chapter 1063: Asking the Moon on the Wind (148) Chapter 1063: Asking the Moon on the Wind (148) Xu Chengfeng walked through the door with a bag that looked like it was for clothes. Zuo Yue turned around to look at him. Xu Chengfeng also saw Zuo Yue¡¯s clothes when he entered the door. The veins on his temples suddenly jumped and he directly threw the bag in his hand on the sofa in front of her. Zuo Yue looked at him in confusion, then lowered her head to look at the things on the sofa. She reached out and picked them up. She saw a white cashmere suit inside. It was very beautiful and warm. Judging from the size, it was also bought for her. ¡°Go and change your shirt.¡± Xu Chengwo¡¯s eyes did not stop on her, as if he did not see her. Zuo Yue looked at him.¡± I went to take a shower just now. I didn¡¯t have any clothes to change into, so I had no choice but to take your shirt to change into. You don¡¯t have to be angry when you see me wearing your clothes, right?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng immediately looked at her provocative gaze.¡±¡±Your clothes from yesterday reeked of alcohol. Your mother will definitely ask you when you wear them back. I specially asked someone to go to the nearest mall to buy a set of clothes for you to change into.¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking about the shirt I¡¯m wearing now.¡±Zuo Yue knew why he refused to look at her. She simply put down the bag in her hand and walked towards him. When she walked in front of him, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze fell on the few buttons on her chest. At the same time, he could also see that her lower body was empty. His brows immediately furrowed. Zuo Yue looked up at him.¡± Since you¡¯re so impatient with me now, at least you gave me a smile when you saw me at the airport. Now, you don¡¯t even want to smile when you see me. Why did you pick me up after receiving the call yesterday?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was a little impatient as he turned around and was about to walk away from her. Zuo Yue lowered her eyes and suddenly raised her hand to block his path. Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her.¡± ¡°Is this where you¡¯ve been living in Los Angeles?¡±Zuo Yue went straight to the point and looked at him.¡±¡±It looks like we don¡¯t know you well enough. We don¡¯t even know that you once lived in Los Angeles and have a fixed property here.¡± ¡°Go and change your clothes. You don¡¯t have to ask about my matters anymore.¡±Xu Chengfeng pushed her hand away and turned to leave. Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and stood in front of him. The moment Xu Chengfeng took a step forward, she bumped into his arms. He subconsciously reached out to hold her waist to prevent her from falling, but at the same time, he let go of her with a gloomy expression. The little woman in his arms was wearing a black shirt. The shirt did not cover anything. It was so empty and sexy that any man who saw it would instantly feel their blood boil. Xu Chengfeng restrained some of his impulses. The more she pestered him, the more he had to treat her coldly. Otherwise, this little girl who could shine with just a little sunlight would never learn to truly let go. Zuo Yue stared into his eyes. Her legs were fair and slender under her shirt. She stood in front of him and looked at the darkness in the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Why don¡¯t you dare to look at me?¡± Zuo Yue stared into his eyes.¡±¡±Did we quarrel last night? What was the content? Did you say something? Or did I say something after drinking too much?¡± ¡°No, you drank too much. After a while, you went in to sleep.¡±Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have the patience to confront her.¡±¡±I just woke up with a hangover. Go change your clothes, and then I¡¯ll send you back to the Xu family.¡± When Xu Chengfeng moved to the other side, Zuo Yue still moved to the side and continued to block in front of him. When Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression turned ugly and he finally stared coldly at her face, Zuo Yue raised her chin fearlessly and looked at the man who was much taller than her. ¡°You and I have been avoiding each other for so many days. Now that we are alone here, don¡¯t you think we should have a good talk?¡±Zuo Yue kept staring at his dark eyes.¡±For example, the man who I almost gave up my life for him time and time again. For example, the man who took everything away without even planning to see me for the last time after my exams and wanted to completely disappear from my life. Xu Chengfeng, is your heart made of cold iron? There¡¯s no warmth at all?¡± Xu Chengfu looked at her. After a moment, he said calmly,¡±Go back to your room and change your clothes.¡± Zuo Yue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head. All the hope and hope in her heart shattered into ice because of his cold words. It turned out that no matter how much her heart, her identity, or her thoughts had changed, he could always be cold and cold as if he had returned to the Xu Chengfeng who she had first met. He was the Xu Chengfeng who did not even bother to look at her, who had no patience or feelings for her. Zuo Yue suddenly turned her eyes away, but she raised her hand and grabbed her clothes tightly. Xu Chengfeng saw the material of her shirt crumpled into a ball, but he said as if he did not see it,¡±¡±We didn¡¯t argue last night. Don¡¯t think too much. I only told you clearly last night that I would be wrong once, but I would never be wrong a second time. Zuo Yue, you were the most rational when you said that it was over. You had already thought of all the possible endings, so there was no need for me to say too much to you. You had already done very well by maintaining the state you had been in these past few days, hating me or distancing yourself from me.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s grip on her shirt tightened. Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and was about to move her hand away from the shirt when she suddenly grabbed his hand instead. In the instant that he hesitated, she grabbed his hand and placed it in front of her lapel, allowing his hand to stop under the unbuttoned shirt in front of her chest. Her gaze was provocative and seductive.¡±Why did you refuse to look at me just now?¡± Xu Chengfeng was about to move his hand away when he felt the warmth of her body through the material of his shirt. Zuo Yue raised her hands and hugged his hands tightly, not letting him go. She pressed his hands hard against her chest.¡±Are you afraid that you can¡¯t help it? Like the night before you left, are you afraid that you will lose control again? Are you afraid that I will find out that you can be so heartless while falling in love with me?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze suddenly became even more serious.¡±Stop fooling around. Take your hand¡­¡± Zuo Yue stubbornly pressed his hand against her chest and glared at him.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you ask me to change my clothes? Come on, change for me! It¡¯s not like you didn¡¯t help me change my wrist when I was injured and hospitalized! I¡¯ve already been seen by you, what¡¯s there to be reserved about! There¡¯s no need for you to pretend to be virtuous! If you could really be so heartless, you probably wouldn¡¯t feel anything even if I were to stand naked in front of you! Didn¡¯t you want to prove that you don¡¯t want to have any feelings for me anymore? Come, undo it!¡± Chapter 1064 - Chapter 1064: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (149) Chapter 1064: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (149) As she spoke, she pulled her hand even harder into her clothes. ¡°Enough!¡± Xu Chengfeng pulled his hand out mercilessly. When Zuo Yue staggered backward, he suddenly raised his hand to hold her chin and looked at her coldly. The atmosphere suddenly became cold and silent. Zuo Yue was still staring at him. Looking at his figure shrouded in a cold aura, her heart was really depressed and uncomfortable. After so many days, all the hatred and bitterness finally found a chance to vent, but the man in front of her was not affected at all. She raised her hand and grabbed his wrist tightly.¡±So you can still lose your temper at me? Didn¡¯t you say that you don¡¯t have any feelings for me? I thought nothing I did would affect you!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget what you said!¡± Xu Chengfeng removed his hand from her chin and turned around with his back to her.¡±¡±Go change your clothes. I¡¯ll only give you ten minutes. I¡¯ll drive you back to the Xu family¡¯s house in ten minutes. Otherwise, you can take a taxi back.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She turned to look at the snow and ice outside. She was just acting on impulse. After thinking about it, she decided not to go too far. She only looked at him for a while more before grabbing the bag of clothes on the sofa and quickly returning to her room. She heard the sound of the bedroom door being slammed behind her. Xu Chengfeng stood still until he vaguely heard Zuo Yue throwing her clothes on the bed. Xu Chengfeng slowly raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. However, when his hand touched his forehead, the fragrance of a young girl wafted into his nose again and again. He suddenly put his hand down and placed it on the collar of his shirt. He unbuttoned a few buttons fiercely as if he was extremely hot. In the end, he still felt that it was difficult to breathe, so he simply opened the door and walked out. ***** Xu family. Zuo Yue, who had been sent back to the Xu family for a whole day, sat in her room. Although his grandfather¡¯s funeral had ended, there was still an endless stream of guests from the Xu family. After all, they were a local Chinese family in the United States, and the traditions between Chinese families were too troublesome. The family would not be peaceful for the next few days, and Xu Chengfeng naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of shouldering these heavy responsibilities with Xu Yuan. The room was very quiet. Although it was very cold outside, Zuo Yue still opened the window. The cold wind blew through the curtains, causing a slight sound. The slightly cooling air made people feel much more awake. Zuo Yue sat on the rattan chair by the window with her legs curled up. Her head leaned against the back of the chair. The cold air invaded her shoulders and back. She shivered and got up to close the window. Then, she turned around and sat back on the rattan chair. She bent her knees and hugged her legs, not moving at all like a statue. She had been suffering from insomnia for the past few days. Ever since she was sent back yesterday, her mother had asked her a few questions about her whereabouts the night before. She had only casually explained and then went straight into her room without leaving. She sat in this position for the entire night. .. ¡°He was brought back to the Xu family ten years ago, but he hasn¡¯t been able to hand over all the evidence to prove his identity. Previously, Old Master Xu was willing to acknowledge this son, and we, the people in the company, couldn¡¯t do anything about it. However, now that it involves the Xu Corporation, we have no choice but to stand up and protest. If the Xu family¡¯s company and assets are so logically handed over to a person with an unknown background, we don¡¯t agree!¡± ¡°Moreover, the KP Group had a few projects with our Xu Corporation¡¯s enemies in the early years. Who knows if some people will be ambitious enough to swallow the Xu Corporation¡¯s assets and remove the Xu Corporation¡¯s name.¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re the president of the KP Group, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t inherit the Xu family¡¯s company. Otherwise, won¡¯t the Xu family be swallowed up? From a well-known Chinese group to a subsidiary company of a Russian financial company, what was this? What do you take us elders of the Xu family for?¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t get to see the latest DNA evidence until Old Mr. Xu passed away. Now that Old Mr. Xu has passed away, we won¡¯t acknowledge the existence of this so-called heir! If the Xu family wants to forcefully hand over the ownership and shares of the Xu Corporation to Xu Chengfeng, we will all resign!¡± Early the next morning, Zuo Yue had just come downstairs when she saw many people sitting in a circle in the hall. The elders of the Xu Corporation were all standing and sitting there with their brows furrowed. Xu Yuan stood at the side and was talking to them. She repeatedly explained that there was absolutely no problem with Xu Chengfeng¡¯s background. She even took out her grandfather¡¯s last words and all the letters he had written before he died. Meanwhile, Xu Chengfeng, who was in the middle of the conversation, sat on the single-seater sofa at the side as if it had nothing to do with him. His slender legs were casually crossed, and his eyes were indifferent as he watched everything in the hall. It was as if the people those people were talking about had nothing to do with him, as if all the clamoring and denial in front of him had nothing to do with him. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze only swept past them once before she turned around and went back upstairs as if she had nothing to do. ¡°Wait.¡± However, Xu Chengfeng, who had never intended to say anything about the inheritance, suddenly spoke. His voice was directed at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She hesitated for a moment before turning around. Her eyes were neither cold nor warm as she looked in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction. Xu Chengfeng did not seem to notice her obvious reluctance. He casually raised two fingers together, tilted his head, and stroked his temples lazily. Then, he put down his hand and straightened his sitting posture. At the same time, he curled his lips slightly and said calmly,¡±It is indeed inappropriate for the merger of the HR Group and the Xu Corporation. I have considered everyone¡¯s concerns. The reason why I have not expressed my position is that there is another person in this family who is more suitable to inherit everything in the Xu Corporation.¡± The few directors and senior figures who were still expressing their attitude just now looked at Xu Chengfeng in confusion, and then followed his sudden shift of gaze. When everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Zuo Yue, even Xu Yuan looked over. She instantly frowned and turned around to look at Xu Chengfeng. ¡°You mean Miss Zuo?¡± ¡°How is this possible? Miss Zuo¡¯s surname was Zuo. Although she was Old Master Xu¡¯s granddaughter, her surname was still Zuo. How could the Xu family change hands just like that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Moreover, Miss Zuo is only eighteen years old. She has nothing to do with the company¡¯s matters! She can¡¯t!¡± Zuo Yue did not want to be the center of the conversation. She only looked at those people coldly and did not say anything. However, she was already dissatisfied with their attitude. What did he mean by she couldn¡¯t? She spoke as if she was an outsider! ¡°If she can¡¯t do it, I can¡¯t do it. Can you?¡±Xu Chengfeng was still sitting calmly on the sofa, but he suddenly said this with a faint smile. The air in the hall seemed to freeze because of his cold words. Chapter 1065 - Chapter 1065: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (150) Chapter 1065: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (150) ¡°Mr. Xu¡¯s words seem to be too targeted at me.¡±One of the directors looked at him with dissatisfaction. He immediately took out a stack of documents from the back of an assistant behind him and placed it heavily on the coffee table in the hall. ¡°Since we¡¯re here today to discuss your background, of course, we have our reasons. Ten years ago, Mr. Xu was brooding over the fact that his son was taken away by a Russian family for so many years. However, according to our investigation, the Russian family who went to the United States to give birth had already lost their entire family in an accident twenty years ago. Then, you suddenly appeared, and your parents died by coincidence. In the end, you followed the clues and entered the Xu family. He also used too many coincidences to secure his position as the heir of the Xu family.¡± ¡°These words don¡¯t seem to be so pleasant to hear here.¡±Xu Yuan suddenly said unhappily,¡± Before Chengfeng entered the Xu family, he had already done a DNA test. The DNA test from ten years ago was enough to prove everything. Now, everyone wants to do a new test, but our father has passed away. Our father acknowledged Chengfeng as his son when he was alive, but after he passed away, everyone erased everything that he had acknowledged right after his burial ceremony. They even questioned Chengfeng¡¯s background and came up with these baseless speculations.¡± ¡°Our guess is not without basis, but we can¡¯t prove Mr. Xu¡¯s identity 100%. Similarly, everything that the Xu family has offered can¡¯t prove his background and blood relationship. As we¡¯ve mentioned just now, from a certain perspective, the HR Corporation is a competitor of the Xu Corporation in the business world. Now that the head of the competitor is standing on the Xu family¡¯s side and wants to inherit the Xu family¡¯s assets, we definitely won¡¯t agree.¡± ¡°Since you keep mentioning blood relations, although I don¡¯t really support Zuo Yue standing up, she¡¯s my daughter. I never intended for her to design too many business disputes. But now, standing here, Zuo Yue is my father¡¯s granddaughter, yet you can find countless reasons to stop her from participating.¡±Xu Yuan suddenly chuckled.¡± Just like what Chengfeng said, Zuo Yue can¡¯t do it, Chengfeng can¡¯t do it. As the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family, I can¡¯t participate in the inheritance of the Xu family either.¡± The three of us who are most closely related to the Xu bloodline have all been denied. Could it be that the inheritance rights are going to be divided among others?¡± It was rare for Xu Yuan to speak so forcefully and straightforwardly. It was even as sharp as Xu Chengfeng¡¯s seemingly casual yet forceful attitude. The board member felt a little embarrassed by this question, but he still cleared his throat and said,¡±Of course, the inheritance rights should still be handed over to the real descendants of the Xu family. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s identity is unknown, so we suggest that we don¡¯t officially hand over the inheritance rights to him for now.¡± Xu Yuan looked at them coldly. Xu Chengfeng was still sitting quietly on the single-seater sofa, but he suddenly smiled faintly, as if he had already expected these people¡¯s final words. He was not surprised at all. Zuo Yue looked at the atmosphere, turned around, and went upstairs. After returning to her room, she closed the door and leaned against the door. She recalled how Xu Chengfeng had faced those self-righteous people from the Xu Corporation just now. She had never seen Xu Chengfeng so silent and forbearing before. With his ability, if he really wanted to do something and really wanted to inherit the Xu family¡¯s assets, those directors probably wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to speak. Now that he had given them the chance to stand here and shout, it seemed that he really had no intention of getting involved. Those few people were really lucky to be able to point at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s nose and face in front of him. They were not afraid that they would not even know how they lost their lives in the future. Wait a minute! Why was she thinking about this? Was he enduring it on purpose or had other plans? What did it have to do with her? Zuo Yue pursed her lips and suddenly walked to the window with an ugly expression. She looked out the window, but her mind kept replaying the scene of Xu Chengfeng sitting quietly on the sofa and being questioned by the self-righteous directors. ***** That night, the Xu family returned to a rare silence. Only a small number of guests stayed in the guest room of the Xu family. In the quiet corridor, Xu Yuan walked to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bedroom door and knocked on it. After knocking a few times, the door opened. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her, moved his hand away from the door, turned around, and walked in. ¡°Chengfeng.¡± Xu Yuan walked in and saw him walking back to the window with one hand in his pocket. He must have something on his mind, so she didn¡¯t directly mention the matter of the directors today. Instead, she said,¡±Are you serious about letting Zuo Yue inherit the Xu family¡¯s assets? Or are you just using her to divert the topic?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He only looked back at her.¡±Do you think I¡¯m joking?¡± ¡°As you know, Zuo Yue studied medicine under my suggestion. She just went to Boston for half a year. Although she hasn¡¯t learned anything yet, I never really planned to let her set foot in the business world. Her father and I were usually too busy. Zuo Yue grew up in an environment like the Zuo family. Although she didn¡¯t lack food and clothing, she instinctively felt a sense of rejection towards the busy and unaccompanied elders. I also knew that she didn¡¯t want to ask too much about the business world. Moreover, I didn¡¯t want her to get involved in this kind of murderous environment.¡± After a moment of silence, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡±¡±I understand.¡± ¡°Then about the matter with those directors today¡­¡± ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing. Regardless of whether I¡¯ll inherit it or not, I won¡¯t let anyone with ill intentions take a share. Now that I¡¯m standing in the Xu family, you just have to remember what I¡¯m saying to you.¡± Xu Yuan immediately laughed.¡± That¡¯s enough. Ever since Dad passed away, the pressure from the board of directors has become heavier and heavier. I¡¯m on tenterhooks every day.¡±¡± ¡°You¡¯re just a woman. You¡¯ll be busy with the Zuo family business. You still have to worry about Zuo Hancheng in the country. Leave the Xu family business to me for the time being.¡±As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he turned to look at the room that was lit not far away. Zuo Yue was also standing in front of the window, but she did not see Xu Chengfeng, who was standing not far away from her. She was opening the window to enjoy the cold wind. Her long hair fluttered behind her shoulders, and her face was a little pale, but it was only because she was cold. She was not sick. Until she vaguely felt that someone was looking at her, and she subconsciously turned her head to the opposite side. Xu Chengfeng casually closed the curtains casually, blocking Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze. Xu, who was behind him, saw him pause for a moment and then saw him draw the curtains. He asked in confusion,¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Chapter 1066 - Chapter 1066: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (151) Chapter 1066: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (151) Xu Chengfeng curled his lips and did not say anything. He only smiled faintly and looked back at her.¡±It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s rare that I returned to my room early today, so I wanted to rest early.¡± ¡°Then rest early. We¡¯ll go to the company together tomorrow.¡±After Xu Yuan finished speaking, she turned around and left. The room fell silent. Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the window. A moment later, he reached out to pull the curtains open a little and looked calmly at the room opposite. The little girl who had just opened the window to enjoy the cold wind was gone. The window was closed and the curtains were also drawn. Clearly, he had already sensed something. This silent temper really made Xu Chengfeng love and hate it. He quietly looked at the window for a long time, put down the curtains, and turned to walk into the bathroom. In the mirror in the bathroom, Chengfeng unbuttoned his shirt while looking at himself in the mirror. The person in the mirror seemed to have a layer of emotion that even she herself could not understand. Ever since she left Boston, something that had been suppressed in the bottom of her heart was screaming time and time again to break out of the barrier, but it was forcefully suppressed by him again and again. He recalled what Zuo Yue had done in the villa with the mountain view. He recalled the touch of his hand. Suddenly, his throat tightened. He tore open his shirt in frustration and turned on the shower to take a cold shower. Everything had been done to the most heartless extent. A broken heart might not be able to warm up again. Even if he was injured now, it was much better than suffering more injuries in the future. Hopefully, she would understand. Hopefully, it was still not too late to be heartless and stop now. .. The next day, Xu Chengfeng and Xu Yuan had just come out of the Xu Corporation¡¯s meeting room. Xu Yuan received a call at the last minute. She had to rush back to the Zuo¡¯s Group within an hour to participate in some projects with foreign companies. She had no choice but to leave first and hand over the company¡¯s matters to Xu Chengfeng. An hour later, Xu Chengfeng walked out of the company building. Just as he took out the electronic car key, the dark gray Porsche parked in the parking lot not far away unlocked twice. Before he walked over, he suddenly stopped because of Zuo Yue who was walking over from the opposite side of the square. Zuo Yue did not expect to meet him here. Although she knew that her mother and he would come to the company today, she really did not come here to look for him. Xu Chengfeng saw that she had taken a taxi alone and immediately walked over. Zuo Yue lowered her eyes slightly and avoided the gaze he gave her when he walked over. She turned her face away and ignored him. ¡°Why did you suddenly come here?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked. ¡°In the morning, my mother asked me to come to the Xu Corporation¡¯s company at 11 o¡¯clock. She said that she wanted to take my blood sample for DNA testing. Although I don¡¯t know why she wants my blood sample, I was bored at the Xu family¡¯s house, so I came over.¡±Zuo Yue said as she looked behind him.¡±¡±Where¡¯s my mom?¡± ¡°There¡¯s an important project at the Zuo Corporation that requires her to go back. She just left not long ago, but I don¡¯t think she¡¯ll be back today.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her again as he spoke. At the same time, he raised his hand and stroked her head. When he took a strand of her hair, he said,¡±A strand of hair is enough for a DNA test. There¡¯s no need for a blood sample.¡± Of course, Zuo Yue knew, so she did not say much. She just looked at the strand of hair in his hand, as if there was an inexplicable emotion driving her to do something. She suddenly said,¡±¡±Uncle, can the two of us go for a DNA test?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly.¡±¡±What?¡± ¡°Between the two of us, we¡¯ll be together.¡± What if¡­¡± Zuo Yue hesitated for a moment. Although she knew that she should not have such a fluke in her heart, she also knew that if she really did not have blood relations with him, then how many past events would be involved? Perhaps it was related to him, or perhaps it was related to her, so many unimaginable pasts. However, she still said based on her instincts,¡±Anyway, it¡¯s already come to this. In any case, recently, there have been people in the company who have been clamoring for a test. My mother also took the opportunity to call me over today. Now that my mother isn¡¯t here, the two of us will go and do a test. The two of us are not related by blood¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng stared at her for a moment, his eyes calm, and no one knew what he was thinking. Zuo Yue knew how crazy her words were. She raised her head and met his eyes. She bit her tongue lightly.¡±Forget it, pretend I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to walk past him. Xu Chengfeng suddenly grabbed her wrist.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go.¡± Zuo Yue paused and turned to look at him.¡±¡±Where to?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t we going to verify the DNA?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her, then let go of her hand. He turned around and walked in the direction of the car.¡±I¡¯ll go now.¡± Zuo Yue stared blankly at his figure. It took her a long time to react. He was so cooperative. Did he also hope for a lucky outcome like her? Even if¡­It was just a hope. She immediately turned around excitedly and walked over. The moment Xu Chengfeng opened the door, a black Hummer that had been parked beside his car for a long time suddenly rushed out at a terrifying speed. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand on the car door suddenly froze. He turned around and saw the black Hummer rushing in the direction of Zuo Yue. His face darkened instantly. He closed the door and reminded Zuo Yue,¡±¡±Be careful!¡± Zuo Yue also felt that the car was strange. She turned around and saw that the car was rushing over. Before she could react, she heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice and subconsciously wanted to move to the side, but it was too late. In the instant of the hair falling, Zuo Yue suddenly felt that his body had been violently knocked away by someone. At the same time, he was hugged by someone. The moment the two of them fell to the ground, they rolled to the side at a rapid speed. Until the black Hummer failed to hit Zuo Yue and quickly fled into the traffic on the road, Zuo Yue only felt a pain in her back when she fell to the ground. Her thigh hurt. She had just grunted in pain when Xu Chengfeng, who was pressing down on her, suddenly sat up. He carried her up from the ground with an anxious expression and sized her up. Then, he raised his hand to hold her face and observed her. His voice was no longer calm and cold as usual. Instead, he asked anxiously,¡±Are you hurt anywhere? Does it hurt anywhere? Where did you fall?¡± Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at him. Before she could say anything, Xu Chengfeng took off the scarf around her neck and looked at her neck carefully to see if she had sprained it. He then raised her hand and looked at it repeatedly.¡±Don¡¯t be silent. Tell me, where did you fall? Where did it hurt? Where did he fall? Zuo Yue?¡± Zuo Yue stared at him without saying a word. She was so nervous that it was as if the cold and heartless man from before did not exist at all. Her nose suddenly turned sour and she pulled her hand out of his hand angrily. Her eyes were red as she muttered,¡±It hurts everywhere!¡± Chapter 1067 - Chapter 1067: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (152) Chapter 1067: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (152) Xu Chengfeng¡¯s movements froze. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes had suddenly turned red, and he immediately regained his senses. However, she was already in his arms. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment and did not say anything else. He directly helped her up. Zuo Yue stood up and staggered. Just as Xu Chengfeng was about to withdraw his hand, she suddenly grabbed his arm. Xu Chengfeng paused and looked down at her. Seeing that her leg seemed to have fallen, he said softly,¡±¡±Did you fall badly? Do you need to go to the hospital?¡± Normally, he wouldn¡¯t even need to ask her. His tone would always be ¡± I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head and ignored her leg. She only looked up at him.¡±Even if we separate, those people will still pay attention to me. After all, they have already investigated me.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. After a moment, he said,¡±¡±If you try to reduce the number of times you appear by my side or never appear by my side again, the danger level will be much lower.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just a reduction, not a complete release of those people from my side.¡±Zuo Yue said as she grabbed the sleeve of his suit.¡±Were you especially afraid that something would happen to me just now?¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his head to look at her legs. Seeing that she was standing unsteadily, he immediately frowned.¡±Get in the car first and go to the hospital to check if you fell anywhere else.¡± Zuo Yue was about to push his hand away, but Xu Chengfeng did not say a word and forcefully helped her to the car. He opened the car door and pushed her in. Even as he drove to the hospital, he still looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s leg from time to time. Actually, Zuo Yue did not fall too badly. It was just that the heels she wore when she went out today were a little higher than usual. She did not stand steadily just now and rolled on the ground twice. Although she did not suffer any injuries, her leg might have hit the railing, or it might have hit her bones, or it might just be a simple external injury. She did not pay much attention to it. However, since Xu Chengfeng cared so much, she did not say anything else. To be cared for, at least it proved that he wasn¡¯t completely heartless to her. At least he would still be worried about her and would still be as nervous as before. She had thought that he could remain calm. Zuo Yue suddenly smiled secretly, but she turned her head away with a smile, not wanting him to see the small ripple in her heart. Even when Zuo Yue turned her head away while smiling, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze did not follow her. His arm was on the steering wheel. As he controlled the steering wheel, the worry between his eyebrows suddenly deepened. He sighed as he drove until he brought Zuo Yue to the hospital. After a check-up, he confirmed that she did not hurt her bones. She only sprained her ankle and the impact of her leg caused temporary pain. Only then did he relax. She prescribed some medicine for external injuries and blood clots and returned to the Xu family. Zuo Yue sat by the bed and applied medicine on her leg. She suddenly remembered that she was going to do a DNA test with her uncle today. In the end, he was still unable to investigate because of such a small change. After applying the medicine, she picked up her phone and looked at it for a while. She decided to call Xu Chengfeng and use the small injury on her leg as an opportunity to ease their relationship. However, no one picked up the phone for a long time. Zuo Yue put down her phone in confusion and looked at it for a while. After waiting for a few minutes, she called again, but no one picked up. She found it strange that Xu Chengfeng should not have gone out at this time. Moreover, it was already dark. Was he not in the room? Or did he not have his phone with him? Just as Zuo Yue was about to send a text message to ask if he was only going to accompany her to the hospital to prescribe some medicine and then leave her alone? Just as he picked up his phone, there was a light knock on the door. Then, Xu Yuan walked in. ¡°I heard from Chengfeng that you were almost hit by a car today and fell. How is it? Is it serious?¡± Xu Yuan walked in as she spoke. When she got closer, she smelled some medicine. Then, she saw Zuo Yue¡¯s calf and ankle were slightly swollen. She immediately walked over quickly and bent down to take a closer look.¡±Why are you so careless? He almost got hit by a car when he went out? Fortunately, Chengfeng was by your side at that time. Otherwise, something might have happened to you.¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Was it fortunate that Xu Chengfeng was by her side? If it weren¡¯t for her precious brother, she might not have fallen into such a crisis. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say anything. She only moved her leg to the side and said indifferently,¡±¡±I¡¯m fine. I just fell a little. The places I sprained and injured aren¡¯t serious. The doctor said that I¡¯ll be much better tomorrow after applying some medicine.¡± Xu Yuan picked up the medicine beside her hand and looked at it a few times before saying,¡± If it¡¯s not serious, then it¡¯s fine. I originally wanted you to be a little feminine, but in the end, every time you wear high heels, it¡¯s so unreliable. I¡¯d better wear less in the future.¡± By the way, your uncle probably won¡¯t have time to accompany you for the next two days. If your leg injury needs to be re-examined at the hospital, I¡¯ll send a servant to accompany you to the hospital.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not serious. You don¡¯t have to go to the hospital anymore.¡±Zuo Yue said as she swung her legs by the bed to show that she was fine. At the same time, she asked,¡±¡±Will Uncle be busy with the company these two days? He¡¯s not at home now? Did you go out?¡± Xu Yuan suddenly smiled meaningfully.¡±¡±The internal situation of the Xu Corporation is really too complicated. Your little uncle needs to sort out a lot of connections, and¡­¡± Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying,¡± Director Qin¡¯s daughter is about the same age as your uncle. When she went to Russia to study, she met your uncle a few times. Because of this relationship, Director Qin intends to matchmake her daughter with your uncle. Your uncle has a beautiful woman by his side these past two days, so of course he has no time to care about you.¡±¡± ¡°What Director Qin¡¯s daughter?¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes immediately.¡± Xu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything further. She just smiled and said,¡± You know Director Qin is the head of the Xu Corporation¡¯s board of directors. If he doesn¡¯t deliberately stir up trouble, many of the company¡¯s problems will be solved. It just so happens that your uncle doesn¡¯t seem to be in contact with his previous girlfriend anymore. I guess he broke up a few days ago, right? He didn¡¯t have many girlfriends by his side, and Director Qin¡¯s daughter had a good family background, education, looks, and ability. The two of them seemed to be a good match. If they could really get along well, it would be a good choice.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly got off the bed. Her posture looked a little awkward because of her leg injury, but she still limped out in a hurry. ¡°Eh? Zuo Yue? Where are you going?¡± Seeing her anxious expression as if something had happened, Xu Yuan quickly called out to her. Zuo Yue had just walked to the door when she stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said,¡±¡±I remember that when I came back from the hospital, I still left some things with my uncle. I¡¯ll go look for him.¡± Chapter 1068 - Chapter 1068: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (153) Chapter 1068: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (153) She only explained casually. She no longer cared about the doubt in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes and the questions she was about to ask. She pulled the door open and ran out. She ran all the way out of the place where she lived and ran towards the opposite side. After running into the low building, she grabbed the handrail on the stairs and staggered upstairs. When she reached the door of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s room, Zuo Yue raised her hand and slammed the door hard. After tapping for a long time, there was no response from inside. She wasn¡¯t sure if Xu Chengfu was in the room or if he had already gone out. However, it was already past nine o¡¯clock at night. If he really went out with Director Qin¡¯s daughter now, it was already so late¡­She instinctively felt that he might not have gone out¡­ After knocking for a while, Zuo Yue directly shouted from outside the door,¡±¡±Open the door! Xu Chengfeng!¡± As she spoke, she picked up her phone and called him. Although no one picked up, a familiar ringtone rang in the room. He was still at home! Zuo Yue was so angry that she used her leg to kick the door of his room. In the end, she forgot about the injury on her leg. She immediately leaned against the door in pain and said with a pained expression,¡±If you don¡¯t open the door, believe it or not, I¡¯ll shout for you and call everyone in the Xu family over!¡± As expected, his words worked. Not long after he finished speaking, the door was suddenly opened from the inside. Zuo Yue leaned against the door. She did not expect him to suddenly open the door without a sound. Suddenly, she fell into the room without any weight. Xu Chengfeng caught it in passing, and Zuo Yue directly threw herself into his arms. Her face was pressed against his bare chest, and she threw herself down fiercely¡­ Xu Chengfeng managed to stabilize her and held her waist at the same time. Zuo Yue felt her face touching the spot and blushed instantly. She slowly raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was obviously taking a shower just now. Because he heard her knocking on the door, he had wrapped a towel around his lower body and came out to open the door. There were still water droplets on his body, his chest was still warm from the shower, and his whole body was wet yet clean, making her mouth dry. She could only stare blankly at his short hair that was still dripping with water and the strange look in his eyes. ¡°What are you doing in my room so late at night?¡±Xu Chengfeng saw that there was no one behind her and immediately frowned and questioned her. Zuo Yue remembered that she had been in a daze when she came here. She suddenly raised her hand and pushed his hand away from her waist. At the same time, she steadied her body, but because of the injury on her leg, she staggered backward. However, when he reached out to help her, she slapped his hand away forcefully. Seeing her aggressive attitude, Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and closed the door. Then, he turned around and looked at her who had been staring at him.¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°What¡¯s with that Director Qin¡¯s daughter?¡±Zuo Yue asked directly. Xu Chengfeng paused for a moment, then glanced at her. He seemed to think that it was ridiculous for her to take the risk to come to his room in the middle of the night to ask him such a question. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Answer me, what¡¯s up with Director Qin¡¯s daughter? Have you met before? She wanted to matchmake the two of you, and you agreed to it?¡±Zuo Yue questioned him again and again. Her eyes were wide open, not letting go of any expression on his face. Xu Chengfeng sighed and laughed.¡± Those people just mentioned it a few hours ago. How did you know?¡±¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about how I know. I¡¯m just asking if you agree to get close to Director Qin¡¯s daughter.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not refute. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s jealous look, he pondered for a moment and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m at the age of marriage. Zuo Yue, you should understand what I mean.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze instantly turned cold. She suddenly turned to look at the clothes by the bed. It was a casual suit, but not the one he wore during the day. After a while, she suddenly looked at him again.¡±Are you planning to go out after taking a shower?¡± ¡°..¡±Xu Chengfeng did not answer, neither did he admit nor refute. ¡°Go out on a date with someone else?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice suddenly became much softer, but the sourness in her eyes was clearly not more thorough. Seeing that he did not answer, but it was basically equivalent to a tacit agreement, Zuo Yue took a deep breath and suddenly turned around to pull the door open and walk out. Xu Chengfeng knew her too well when he saw her angry actions. He knew that she would definitely do something after she went out. He immediately pulled her back. Because he used too much force, Zuo Yue was pulled into his arms. ¡°Come back first!¡± ¡°Let me go!¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed him away,¡±Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Let go!¡± Xu Chengfeng hugged her tightly as he looked down at her pale face. He grabbed her with one hand and closed the door with the other. At the same time, he pressed her against the door, trapping her between his body and the door. He looked down at her aggressive expression and sighed.¡±When will you get rid of your impulsive habit?¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything and only said angrily,¡±¡±Why should other women be allowed? Besides, that Director Qin was making things difficult for you at first, but now that he has taken a fancy to you and wants you to be his son-in-law, he actually changed his attitude. Moreover, my mother seems to think very highly of you. I¡¯ve been suffering in this relationship for so long, but in the end, the fat in front of me is about to be taken away by someone else! Why? Why?!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome eyebrows moved. He looked at the little girl in his arms who was so angry that she was incoherent. He laughed softly and did not comment. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to my mom! Even if she calls me a madman, I still want to make it clear! I can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± Zuo Yue said as she pushed him away.¡±Let go of me! I want to find my mom!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, don¡¯t do anything rash! Don¡¯t mess around!¡± Xu Chengfeng pressed down on her dishonest hands and leaned over to her lips as he said,¡±¡±Letting you in at this time can be considered to have broken my bottom line. That¡¯s all for tonight. You don¡¯t have to ask about the Xu Corporation and me. As for the problem you¡¯re worried about¡­¡± The two of them were close to each other. This was his room in the Xu family. Everything seemed to be filled with danger and taboos. Zuo Yue raised her head and glared at him. The distance between their lips was so close. She stared into his eyes and asked clearly,¡±¡±Are you really planning to go out on a date after taking a shower?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while and suddenly laughed in anger. Zuo Yue¡¯s face was filled with bafflement. It was as if the young girl¡¯s thoughts had been completely seen through by others. She immediately said with dissatisfaction,¡±What are you laughing at?¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed.¡± I¡¯m going out, but not on a date. Ait will be in Los Angeles tonight. I have something to deal with. It has nothing to do with Director Qin¡¯s daughter.¡±¡± Chapter 1069 - Chapter 1069: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (154) Chapter 1069: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (154) When Zuo Yue heard that, she realized that she had really been impulsive. Her entire body softened immediately and she obediently leaned against the door and stopped moving. ¡°Is it calm now? You¡¯re not making a fuss anymore?¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her. His deep and hoarse voice revealed a hint of indulgence and helplessness towards her.¡±Zuo Yue, this is the Xu family. It¡¯s very easy for people to misunderstand if you come at this time.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She lowered her head quietly. Her eyes were a little empty. No one knew what she was thinking. However, based on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s understanding of her, he reckoned that she was up to no good. For her to suddenly barge into his place in the middle of the night, it could be seen that she was indeed on the verge of exploding. He let go of the hand that was shackled on her shoulder and looked at the time. He was about to pull her away from the door and open the door to see the situation outside so that she could leave when Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck. She pulled him down fiercely and raised her head to send her lips up, accurately pressing them against his lips. Shock flashed across Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes. He frowned. Before he could move away, Zuo Yue¡¯s arms were already tightly wrapped around his neck. She was trying to push his teeth open with her tongue. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng tried to pull her arm away with one hand and grabbed her shoulder with the other to push her away. At the same time, he turned his face away. However, just as he called out her name, she tilted her head and entangled him again. His lips were sealed again. Zuo Yue was only wearing thin pajamas when she ran into his room. Xu Chengfeng could not ignore the fragrance of a young girl on her body and the faint smell of medicine on her legs after she had applied medicine. However, it was precisely because of the faint smell of medicine that reminded him of his rationality and reminded her of the danger she had encountered again and again because of her relationship with him. Zuo Yue¡¯s kiss had turned from the initial kiss to a vicious bite due to the struggle between them. Xu Chengfeng ignored the pain on his lips and only looked coldly at Zuo Yue, who was almost crazy. He no longer pushed her body away, but raised his hand to hold her head and pushed her face away inch by inch in front of him. Zuo Yue looked at him with red eyes. She looked at his lips that were bleeding and even a little pale from her bite. She was not much better. She moved her gaze away from his mouth and looked up at his calm black eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t mess around in front of me. I can forgive you once or twice, but I can¡¯t let you continue to fall like this. This is the Xu family.¡± ¡°Do you mean that if this isn¡¯t the Xu family, you can not be clear-headed?¡±Zuo Yue glared at him and suddenly raised her hand to push his hand away from her head. However, she could not move it after pushing it twice. She was so angry that she kept waving her fists at him.¡±I don¡¯t want to care about anything now. If my withdrawal gives you a chance to get close to other women, I¡¯d rather my mother beat me to death than let go! I can¡¯t stand it! I can¡¯t take it anymore! I really can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned.¡± This is a troubled time for the Xu family. Can you not add to the mess?¡± How much more do you want to worry about before you stop!¡± Zuo Yue had already lost her mind when she rushed here in front of her mother. She looked at him with red eyes.¡±You don¡¯t want my mom to know? Fine, then don¡¯t chase me out tonight. I¡¯ll stay at your place! I promise to be quiet and not let anyone know! Otherwise, my heart is already numb from the pain. Why would I care about my rationality? I¡¯m not someone at your age who cares about the big picture. I¡¯ve tried to take care of everything, but I find that I¡¯m almost suffocating! I can¡¯t stand it! I can¡¯t stand your cold treatment at all!¡± Zuo Yue shouted out the words that she had suppressed a lot. Tears fell down her cheeks,¡±¡±If you¡¯re so afraid that I¡¯ll cause trouble for the family and affect everyone because of my ignorance, then you should make me stay! Don¡¯t leave me alone again¡­¡± The veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed violently. He suddenly let go of his hand and took a step back at the same time. Just as Zuo Yue was about to step forward, he frowned and said expressionlessly,¡±Even though you are impulsive and casual, you at least always think about others. Your current reckless attitude, where you would rather everyone exhaust their efforts for you than to turn the world upside down, really disappoints me. Zuo Yue, if I had known that you were such an insensible girl, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to fall for you.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes froze. She looked at him blankly and slowly digested his words. ¡°If you don¡¯t want my remaining pity for you to turn into disgust and rejection, get out of my room immediately.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face was cold. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the door behind her emotionlessly.¡±Don¡¯t give up your bottom line just because you¡¯re young and can do whatever you want.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore! Get out.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned, his eyes filled with impatience. Zuo Yue looked at him stiffly, feeling that he might have misunderstood something.¡±¡±No, I don¡¯t want to turn the world upside down. I just don¡¯t want you and¡­¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned to look at her. The coldness in his black eyes was something she had never seen before. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression was shocked. She had never expected that this man, who had almost forced her to give up everything and wanted to go crazy, would use such a cold expression as if he was already disappointed and disgusted with her to drive her away. ¡°Zuo Yue, don¡¯t make me look down on you.¡±Xu Chengfeng said lightly, but it was the heaviest sentence for Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue suddenly held back the tears that were about to flow out. Her mind exploded as if she was laughing at her own madness and stupidity. Looking at the obvious coldness and disgust in his eyes, her hands hidden in the sleeves of her pajamas gradually clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms. Xu Chengfeng had already turned his back on her and was no longer looking at her, but his intention to chase her away was still very obvious. The room was very quiet. Xu Chengfeng could barely hear her breathing and footsteps. When the sound of the door opening and closing came from behind, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold and heartless figure paused for a moment. After a moment, he turned around and looked behind him. Zuo Yue was no longer in his room. When the door was closed, it was not closed tightly because it was not used very hard. There was a small gap, like the last gap left by Zuo Yue¡¯s heart for him. Xu Chengfeng watched for a moment but did not chase after her. He only stood by the door for a while, then slowly raised his hand and closed the door. Chapter 1070 - Chapter 1070: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (155) Chapter 1070: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (155) It was night. It was 2:30 PM. Xu Chengfeng suddenly received a call from Xu Yuan. He looked at the time and had a feeling that Xu Yuan, who was also in the Xu family, would suddenly call at this time. Something must have happened, so he immediately sat up. ¡°Chengfeng, is Zuo Yue with you?¡±The moment the call connected, Xu Yuan¡¯s voice came through. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows twitched.¡± It¡¯s not with me. What happened?¡±¡± When Xu Yuan heard this, her anxious heart immediately relaxed, but it rose again.¡±That¡¯s strange. Last night when I went to Zuo Yue¡¯s room, I said a few words before she suddenly ran to look for you, saying that she left something at your place. After that, I went to the front hall. After I was done, it was already very late, so I didn¡¯t go to see her again. Just now, I received a call from the company¡¯s night shift team and couldn¡¯t sleep for the time being. I came out for a walk. When I passed by Zuo Yue¡¯s room, I was worried about her leg injury. In the end, when I pushed open her door, I found that she wasn¡¯t in the room.¡± Xu Chengfeng subconsciously got out of bed, picked up a jacket, and walked out while answering the phone.¡±¡±What do you mean she¡¯s not in the room? It¡¯s 2:30 in the morning now. The Xu family¡¯s door is tightly guarded. If she goes out at night, it¡¯s impossible for you not to know. Have you checked the bathroom?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve checked. The bathroom and washroom in her room are fine. If she got up to go to the washroom, she wouldn¡¯t have run out. However, there¡¯s no trace of her anywhere. I thought it was strange. I thought that after she went to look for you last night¡­ He never came back¡­ That¡¯s why I called to ask you.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s voice was a little hesitant, but she still said it in the end. ¡°She¡¯s not with me. She went back not long after she came to my place last night.¡±As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he had already walked out. It was a cold winter night. Although there were a few street lamps in the Xu family¡¯s residence, they were not lit very brightly because it was already late at night. In order not to disturb people¡¯s sleep, it looked quiet and dark in the distance. ¡°Then where would she go at this hour?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s voice was already questioning,¡±¡± Chengfeng, there¡¯s something that I haven¡¯t had the chance to tell you. It¡¯s also because there¡¯s too much going on in the Xu family recently that I didn¡¯t want to mention it. However, after Zuo Yue went to Boston for a few months, I felt that she seemed to have changed a lot after she came back. She used to tell me everything that was on her mind, but now she refuses to say anything. Moreover, she would sit in one place all day without moving, staring into space. I feel that she seems to be hiding a lot of things in her heart now. She doesn¡¯t want to say it out, so she¡¯s just holding it in. What happened to her in Boston? Do you know?¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment. His eyes were still searching the Xu family¡¯s courtyard quickly. He said indifferently,¡±I don¡¯t know. Let¡¯s find someone first.¡± ¡°I remember that Zuo Yue only wore a set of pajamas when she went out. She probably didn¡¯t come back after that. She wore so little. Where could she have gone in the middle of the night?¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly felt a little irritated. For the first time in many years, he knew what it meant to be out of control. He couldn¡¯t control everything according to the outcome he wanted. That feeling of being out of control made him very irritable. ¡°Let¡¯s find someone first!¡± He didn¡¯t say anything else and went straight to Zuo Yue¡¯s place after hanging up. Xu Yuan had already walked out. When she saw him, she saw that Xu Chengfeng was also very anxious. From this, she believed that Zuo Yue did not stay at his place for too long that night and was indeed not in his room at this moment. Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t give up. He looked around Zuo Yue¡¯s room before turning around to look for her again. In the snow and ice world, the time of the night was so quiet that it could not disturb the other people and guests in the Xu family. Xu Yuan was also worried until now. She kept calling Zuo Yue, but no one answered. At least this proved that Zuo Yue did not turn off her phone. However, after calling for so long, he did not hear any mobile phone activity around him. It was obvious that Zuo Yue was not nearby. Xu Chengfeng also took out his phone and turned on the light function of his phone to search everywhere in the courtyard. The Xu residence was not big nor small. He really wanted to find every room and every place that could be hidden. He would not be able to find them all even if it was dawn. Xu Chengfeng was also calling Zuo Yue. However, if it was not the front line, no one would pick up. He cursed under his breath and continued to look for her in all the places that she might have gone. In the end, he simply turned on the GPS tracker that was already set on Zuo Yue¡¯s phone. The tracker should not be turned on unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it would affect the patrol signal of the local police and be targeted by the police. However, if he did not find her quickly in such a cold night, something else would happen. Seeing that the red dot was nearby, which was within the Xu family¡¯s territory, Xu Chengfeng was more or less relieved when he confirmed that she had not been infiltrated by anyone with ill intentions and was still safe and sound within the Xu family¡¯s territory. However, at the same time, his brows furrowed as he looked at the place indicated by the red dot. He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the Xu family¡¯s backyard. Then, he turned around and walked over quickly. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the signal location displayed on the phone, Xu Chengfeng looked up at a tall Roman statue in the backyard. He knew that there was a flower garden behind the statue, but because it was winter, the flower garden was only a very remote open space. Xu Chengfeng wondered why she was there. As soon as he got closer, he saw several snowmen of different sizes piled up in the empty space behind the Roman statue. He was about to walk over when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Xu Yuan had also found her way here. When she saw the snowmen from afar, she was shocked and quickly walked over.¡±How can this be!¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her. Xu Yuan had already walked over and walked quickly behind the Roman statue. As expected, she saw Zuo Yue sitting behind the Roman statue with her knees curled up and her legs hugged. Xu Yuan hurriedly bent down and hugged the frozen Zuo Yue.¡±Oh my god¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng walked around the Roman statue. Because Xu Yuan was there, he did not show his emotions. However, when he saw Zuo Yue, whose face had turned blue from the cold and was leaning in Xu Yuan¡¯s arms, he could not help but go forward and carry her away. ¡°Don¡¯t, don¡¯t touch her!¡± When he reached out, Xu Yuan suddenly hugged Zuo Yue tightly in her arms and blocked Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand. Then, she turned to look at the snowmen beside her and said with a bitter look in her eyes,¡±¡±Other than the Zuo family, no one else knows that Zuo Yue was stimulated when she was young¡­She would only do this when she was in extreme despair¡­Don¡¯t touch her. Let me do it. I¡¯ll bring her back to her room. Chengfeng, call a doctor over. Don¡¯t let anyone know.¡± When Xu Chengfeng heard the phrase ¡± Zuo Yue was stimulated when she was young ¡°, his eyes were shocked. Chapter 1071 - Chapter 1071: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (156) Chapter 1071: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (156) Zuo Yue seemed to have lost consciousness. Xu Yuan carried Zuo Yue up anxiously and helped her to stand firm. She turned to look at the snowmen piled up beside her. Her eyes flashed with worry and heartache. She hugged Zuo Yue tightly and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who seemed to be carefully sizing up Zuo Yue.¡±This child has probably been hiding here for a long time wearing so little clothes. Call the doctor quickly.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze left Zuo Yue¡¯s pale face almost stiffly. He reached out and grabbed her cold hand, pulling her into his arms.¡±I¡¯m not familiar with the private doctors in Los Angeles. I¡¯ll carry her back first.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue was so confused that she could not recognize the person beside her. Seeing that she did not cry because of someone else¡¯s touch, she quickly took out her phone and called the doctor. It was late at night, and they could not disturb the other people in the house. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s current crisis could not be delayed. She looked at the snowmen while she was on the phone. Then, she turned around and saw that Xu Chengfeng had already picked Zuo Yue up by her waist and was quickly walking back. Along the way, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was tense. Before he could completely leave Xu Yuan¡¯s line of sight, he had already lowered his head to look at Zuo Yue, who was unconscious but trembling from the cold. Zuo Yue¡¯s body was as cold as ice. In such weather, even if she wore a coat, she would quickly freeze. Moreover, she was only wearing such thin pajamas and had been outside for so long. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± The moment Xu Chengfeng carried her out of Xu Yuan¡¯s line of sight, he hugged her even tighter and lowered his head to her ear as if he was comforting her. However, Zuo Yue only had her eyes closed. It seemed like she had not completely fainted. She only frowned slowly. Her pale little face was completely drained of blood, and her mental state seemed extremely poor. Xu Chengfeng carried her all the way back to the room and quickly wrapped her with the blanket. At the same time, he sat by the bed and hugged Zuo Yue tightly in his arms. He saw that she was trembling non-stop and was unconscious to the point that her eyes were unfocused when she forced her eyes open. He raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. He frowned worriedly and said,¡±I only said a few words to you. Do you have to run out and freeze like this? How much do you want me to get? Or do you want to transfer all your pain to me?¡± She did not know if Zuo Yue heard her, but she could not answer. From her trembling state, Xu Chengfeng whispered in her ear,¡±¡±Do you think I¡¯m not in pain? Do you think I¡¯m as calm as I look? Do you want me to write all my emotions on my face before you¡¯re happy?¡± ¡°Why did you do this to yourself? Just because I said a few harsh words, you want to use such a method to hurt me?¡±Xu Chengfeng whispered in her ear as he clenched his teeth and hugged her tighter and tighter.¡±¡±What are those snowmen? You didn¡¯t go back to your room in the middle of the night just to build a snowman? What are you thinking, girl?!¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and whispered into Zuo Yue¡¯s ear. He felt that the temperature on her body had not warmed up for a long time. He raised his hand and placed it on her neck. He felt that her body was still cold. The sound of urgent footsteps came from outside the door. In the blink of an eye, Xu Yuan had already pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Zuo Yue wrapped in a blanket and did not think that there was anything wrong with Xu Chengfeng hugging her like this. She quickly walked over and placed her hand on Zuo Yue¡¯s face. Her hand was cold, but Zuo Yue¡¯s face had gradually turned from pale to abnormally red. ¡°The doctor will be here soon.¡± Xu Yuan said as she turned to look out the window. She frowned and said,¡±The weather tonight is very cold. Why did Zuo Yue suddenly go there in the middle of the night? Did she see anyone after she left your room? Or did something happen?¡± Xu Chengfeng hugged Zuo Yue tightly through the blanket and did not let go. He turned to look at Xu Yuan.¡±What did you mean when you said that she was stimulated when she was young?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s expression froze and immediately darkened.¡±¡±It was Zuo Yue and my father. It was our negligence when we were young that caused Zuo Yue to suffer some injuries that she still can¡¯t forget when she was young.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly.¡±¡±Tell me the details.¡± Xu Yuan obviously didn¡¯t intend to say much, but when she thought of the snowmen just now, she felt terrible. She looked at the time and calculated that the doctor would arrive in about ten minutes. She said directly,¡±I¡¯ll go wash a hot towel for Zuo Yue first.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly and did not say anything. When Xu Yuan turned around and walked into the bathroom to turn on the hot water, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who had already fallen unconscious and was lying motionless in his arms. Zuo Yue, who had always been able to show off her fangs in front of him, who was so fearless that she even dared to confess to her own uncle, and who even dared to rush into his room in the middle of the night in front of the Xu family for him, what had she experienced when she was young? As Miss Sun of the Zuo family, she should have lived a carefree life since she was young, a life where she was doted on by her parents and relatives. This had always been his fixed idea of Zuo Yue¡¯s life when she was young. He had always looked at her when she was disobedient with the excuse that she was spoiled when she was young. Although there was no big mistake, he was only occasionally helpless against her stubborn character, but he had never thought that she could have an unhappy life when she was young. However, at this moment, Zuo Yue, whose body was as cold as ice, would run out to build a snowman inexplicably because of his harsh words. He suddenly realized. He had never understood her in depth. He did not understand her at all. Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of Zuo Yue¡¯s head, pressing her face closer to his chest. In silence, he felt her body temperature gradually warming up, but the speed of this warming up was obviously going to continue until she had a fever. Feeling the warmth in her arms, Xu Yuan had already brought a basin of warm water over. She took out a towel from the water and said,¡±Whether she¡¯s still cold or has a fever, wipe her with warm water first.¡± The local courtesans of each city stepped forward to personally wipe Zuo Yue¡¯s face, but Xu Chengfeng had already raised his hand to take the towel. Seeing Xu Chengfeng carefully wiping Zuo Yue¡¯s face, Xu Yuan looked at the time again.¡±¡±I¡¯ll go outside and get the doctor so that he won¡¯t accidentally wake the others up.¡± Xu Yuan quickly walked out of the door. Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue, who did not react at all. The warm towel wiped her face, but she still did not feel anything. Her eyes were closed tightly as if she was suddenly separated from him in two worlds. He thought about the words he had said to her before. Which one of them was lenient and which one was too harsh? Each and every one of them kept echoing in her ears. Chapter 1072 - Chapter 1072: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (157) Chapter 1072: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (157) Xu Chengfeng only put Zuo Yueping down when the doctor arrived and needed to put him on the bed for examination and emergency treatment. When the doctor had to take off Zuo Yue¡¯s clothes to examine her, Xu Chengfeng turned around and walked out. A few minutes later, Xu Yuan also walked out. As she gently closed the door, she said in a low voice,¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s current condition is not suitable for her to go to the hospital to meet strangers. Her emotions will be very sensitive, so she has no choice but to stay at home. This doctor had specially come to our house to give first aid to our father a few times before. His medical skills are very good. He should be able to stabilize Zuo Yue¡¯s condition, but I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to sleep tonight. We¡¯ll follow the doctor¡¯s arrangements at any time. If Zuo Yue¡¯s frostbite is too serious and she needs to be sent to the hospital, Chengfeng, we¡¯ll have to trouble you to drive with us.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he looked coldly at Xu Yuan, who seemed to have something on her mind.¡±Zuo Yue usually looks fine, and her mental state is also very normal. How could she have been stimulated when she was young? What kind of stimulation? You looked like you were scared when you saw those snowmen. What happened?¡± ¡°Tell me first, what happened to her?¡± Xu Yuan sighed. Or, was it you? What did she say? Otherwise, why would she suddenly become so emotionally unstable that she went out to hide?¡± ¡°.. You know that she¡¯s emotionally unstable?¡± ¡°Not only is she emotionally unstable, but she also suddenly feels lonely.¡±Xu Yuan frowned as she spoke.¡± Ever since Zuo Yue experienced that incident when she was young, she has only had this problem a few times since she was young. It was not frequent, and it did not exceed four or five times in total. However, for her to suddenly act like this, it definitely proves that she has suffered a huge blow to her heart. Moreover, it is a blow that she cannot bear calmly. She even feels lonely and abandoned by everyone¡­¡± Hearing these words, Xu Chengfeng looked at Xu Yuan in disbelief.¡±¡±What do you mean abandoned by everyone? She¡¯s your biological daughter. Did she experience being abandoned when she was young?¡± Xu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything, obviously avoiding the question. The more she avoided him, the sharper Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze became.¡±¡±What exactly happened?¡± The door suddenly opened. The doctor walked out and said with a heavy expression,¡±We have to go to the hospital.¡± Xu Chengfeng and Xu Yuan suddenly turned to look at the doctor at the same time. Xu Yuan said in surprise,¡±That serious? But I¡¯m afraid Zuo Yue can¡¯t come into contact with too many strangers now. If she goes to the hospital, it will be very difficult to control. I¡¯m afraid she will be agitated when her emotions are unstable.¡± ¡°She won¡¯t wake up for the time being.¡± The doctor said,¡± Miss Zuo¡¯s current condition is severe frostbite. Not only is her skin pale and cold, but her face and surrounding tissues are also swollen. These are all signs of severe frostbite. She was now in a severe coma, her muscles were stiff, her pupils were slow to react to light, her heartbeat was too slow, her heart rhythm was irregular, and her blood pressure was undetectable.¡± The doctor picked up his phone as he spoke.¡±I¡¯ll give the hospital a call. Under such circumstances, regardless of whether Miss Zuo can cooperate or not, she must be sent to the hospital. Moreover, with her current condition, she won¡¯t wake up for the time being.¡± ¡°Other than what you said before, what other serious reasons do you have to go to the hospital for?¡±Xu Chengfeng felt that the doctor had spoken too lightly. From the doctor¡¯s current attitude, Zuo Yue¡¯s condition was obviously more serious than what they had heard. The doctor immediately glanced at Xu Chengfeng. He did not expect him to be able to see the mercy in his words. He immediately looked at Xu Yuan, who was full of worry. He did not want her to worry too much at home. He wanted to wait until they reached the hospital. As the doctor waited for the call to go through, he said,¡±¡± Miss Zuo has already suffered from a heart attack. Her heartbeat might stop at any moment. Her breathing is very shallow. She only has a weak breath after a long time¡­¡± Xu Yuan immediately took a step back in shock. Xu Chengfeng reached out to support her and looked at the doctor calmly.¡±Go to the hospital. As long as we can save her, we¡¯ll cooperate fully.¡± ¡°What exactly happened to my daughter? Why did she suddenly run out and freeze for so long? How is she?¡± Xu Yuan stepped forward and grabbed the doctor¡¯s sleeve.¡±¡±Will something happen to her? The Xu family just lost a pillar, I can¡¯t see my daughter in trouble again, doctor, you must make sure that nothing happens to her! You must save her!¡± The doctor nodded.¡± Let¡¯s go to the hospital first, Mrs. Zuo. We¡¯ll try our best, but you should understand what I just said. Ms. Zuo¡¯s life is in danger now. You have to be mentally prepared. Frostbite doesn¡¯t sound serious, but if it¡¯s really serious, it can be fatal.¡± ¡°I know¡­¡± I know what happens when frostbite reaches a certain level¡­ I know¡­¡± Xu Yuan suddenly turned around and buried her face in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s shoulder as tears silently fell.¡±¡±What happened to Zuo Yue? Why didn¡¯t she tell me? She has never been like this since she grew up¡­What exactly is she holding back to this extent¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression remained calm, but his eyes looked at Zuo Yue, who was lying motionless on the bed in the room. He said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Save them first.¡± The doctor¡¯s phone had already been connected, and he had informed the nearest hospital and some specialist friends. Xu Yuan had been dealing with the Xu family¡¯s matters for the past few days and was already exhausted. After encountering Zuo Yue¡¯s incident, she finally broke down. Her eyes were red, and she let Xu Chengfeng calmly arrange everything. ***** An hour later. Outside the emergency room of a hospital in Los Angeles. The corridor was very quiet, and only the doctors and nurses were coming and going in front of the emergency room. Xu Yuan sat on the chair beside him. Her eyes were heavy as if she was immersed in some memories. Xu Chengfeng went to settle the procedures and returned. When he saw Xu Yuan sitting there, he walked over and handed the completed procedures to her. At the same time, he said,¡±The doctor has already started treating Zuo Yue with third-degree frostbite, and he just heard something from me.¡± Xu Yuan was a little stiff as she slowly raised her eyes to look at him.¡±What is it?¡± ¡°When Zuo Yue was young, she was also sent to this hospital for emergency treatment because of severe frostbite? A white-haired doctor said that he had an impression of Zuo Yue and remembered that she almost died when she was young.¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at Xu Yuan coldly as he spoke.¡±¡±What exactly happened?¡± Xu Yuan took the paperwork from him and raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Then, she sighed and said with self-reproach in her eyes,¡±At that time, it was all my and Zuo Yue¡¯s father¡¯s fault. We were too busy with the company¡¯s matters. At that time, Zuo Yue¡¯s father had just completely inherited the entire Zuo Corporation. I wholeheartedly assisted him in his work and accompanied him to work hard in the company, but I neglected Zuo Yue, who had just entered primary school at that time. At that time, Hancheng was already in his teens and had his own life, but Zuo Yue was still too young. It was because of our negligence that she almost lost her life when she was young¡­¡± Chapter 1073 - Chapter 1073: Asking the Moon on the Wind (158) Chapter 1073: Asking the Moon on the Wind (158) Xu Yuan gently wiped her tears and turned to look in the direction of the emergency room. She felt very uncomfortable. After so many years, she thought that Zuo Yue had long forgotten about those things when she was young. She did not expect that after so long, she would see Zuo Yue run out to build a snowman and freeze herself to this extent. Xu Yuan had no idea what kind of psychological damage Zuo Yue had suffered to suddenly become the cowardly child who only knew how to hide in the corner when she was young. ¡°When Zuo Yue was seven years old, she had just started elementary school.¡±Xu Yuan said softly,¡± When she was young, her personality was not as carefree as it is now. Although she was very innocent and cute, she was always too tolerant. Whether it was towards her family or her classmates and friends, Zuo Yue, who was still very young at that time, was often bullied by her classmates because of her soft personality. After all, in all the schools that Zuo Yue attended, the classmates and children around her were all from extraordinary families. There would always be a few children who were really spoiled by their families. They used Zuo Yue¡¯s weak personality and did not like to talk and liked to bully her.¡± ¡°But at that time, we didn¡¯t know about Zuo Yue¡¯s situation in school. She didn¡¯t tell us about it at first, nor did she complain. It wasn¡¯t until a year later that Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t take it anymore. There were a few times when we had dinner at home that she told us that she was bullied by her classmates in school. She also complained to us softly, but we¡­¡± Xu Yuan frowned and sighed.¡±¡±We were too busy at that time and only treated Zuo Yue as the youngest child in the family. We didn¡¯t have the mood to consider her childishness. No one took the words of a seven-year-old girl and her silent plea for help seriously because Zuo Yue¡¯s father and I never had the time to go to school to take a look. At that time, we didn¡¯t know that Zuo Yue had been growing up under the suspicious gazes of her classmates because we never saw her parents. Therefore, the teachers and parents of some students in her school secretly thought that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Zuo family.¡± ¡°We only found out about this later on. We never thought that we would neglect Zuo Yue because we were busy with the company¡¯s matters at that time. We never thought that she would live under such rumors and gazes. Moreover, because she was too soft and quiet, many people bullied or mocked her as a habit.¡±The more Xu Yuan spoke, the redder her eyes became.¡± When Zuo Yue was eight years old, she went on a winter trip arranged by the school. It was on a mountain near Los Angeles. The normal trip was one day and one night, and she would be back the next day. However, she didn¡¯t come back the next day. We waited for the whole night, thinking that their event had been delayed, but it was not until the morning of the third day that we felt that something was wrong.¡± ¡°Later, I contacted their teacher and found out that because of the teacher¡¯s negligence, Zuo Yue seemed to have been left behind at the location of the winter outing and did not follow the school¡¯s bus.¡±Xu Yuan frowned.¡± When we rushed over to look for her, we found Zuo Yue walking down the mountain. Because it was deserted, there were no people or cars passing by. She was too young and timid to be a villain. She lost all her strength halfway up the mountain and was constantly freezing. She was frozen on the mountain alone for almost the entire night. She built many snowmen beside her. At that time, Zuo Yue had already fallen unconscious and was lying among the snowmen as if she was no longer there¡­¡± The more Xu Yuan spoke, the more she couldn¡¯t control her emotions. She raised her head and covered her mouth to cry for a while. Then, she looked up at the emergency room again.¡±At that time, Zuo Yue was given emergency treatment in this hospital and was sent to the ICU for observation. After three days, she was out of danger. However, since then, her physical condition has deteriorated a lot. It was only after she grew up that she slowly recovered to a healthy state.¡± ¡°How could Teacher be so negligent? Even if Zuo Yue did not get into the car at the beginning and was not discovered, would she not go back to school to take attendance? Why did he have to let such a small child spend the night alone in the snow?¡±Xu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes coldly, his eyes containing a silent storm. Xu Yuan shook her head.¡± At that time, the teacher had just given birth to a baby. Half a year later, she went back to work. When she returned from the winter outing, the teacher received a call that her child had a fever, so she rushed back and neglected the students on the bus. Zuo Yue only told me a few years later that a few of her classmates who liked to bully her had deliberately played a game of hide-and-seek with her, causing her to hide in a corner when she left and not be discovered by everyone. It was only later that I found out that those classmates who liked to bully her had deliberately treated her like that.¡± ¡°What¡¯s with the snowman?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice sounded calm, but that was all. ¡± Zuo Yue was alone on the mountain. She was not only cold, but also scared. There was no one or a car around her. She could only make many snowmen to accompany her. I can¡¯t imagine how she could last that night on the mountain, nor can I imagine how she could make so many snowmen.¡± ¡°But later, I found out that the incident left a shadow in Zuo Yue¡¯s heart. When she was twelve, she felt isolated because of some things between her father and me, as well as some things in the Zuo family at that time. If she felt afraid and lonely, or even felt like she was abandoned, this could happen. But she was fine before, so why would she suddenly explode with such intense emotions? What was she doing in the middle of the night? Who provoked my daughter to this extent? She had not been like this for many years¡­ Today, when I saw those snowmen, my heart almost broke¡­ I thought those shadows were gone, but she¡­¡± Xu Yuan suddenly couldn¡¯t bring herself to continue. She raised her hand and placed it on her face as she cried silently,¡±¡±Zuo Yue did not have to worry about food and clothing since she was young, but she was always neglected by us when she was young. She once said that the people closest to her in the Zuo family were not her parents and grandfather, but Wang Ma and Uncle Chen. Zuo Yue only got closer to me after she grew up. When she was young, I didn¡¯t do much to fulfill my responsibility as a mother, including Hancheng. I was too busy with my career¡­¡± ¡± Chengfeng, I know that you feel sorry for Zuo Yue, but the things that happened to her when she was young are a part of her past that she doesn¡¯t want to talk about. Her personality has changed a lot now. She¡¯s no longer as weak and timid as she was when she was young. She¡¯s becoming more and more lively and she¡¯ll say whatever she wants. She¡¯s no longer as introverted. However, in the situation tonight, I¡¯m afraid that she¡¯ll reject everyone because of her unstable emotions. After all, I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s like this¡­¡± Chapter 1074 - Chapter 1074: Asking the Moon on the Wind (159) Chapter 1074: Asking the Moon on the Wind (159) ¡°After all, you¡¯ve been by Zuo Yue¡¯s side for the past few months. I think you should know the reason.¡±Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chengfeng, who remained silent.¡±¡±She once told me that she likes a man, but it¡¯s a man she can¡¯t be with. Is that true?¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment before he slowly nodded. ¡°What kind of man is he? How could my daughter, who had finally become lively and cheerful, become like this?¡±Xu Yuan immediately stood up, her eyes filled with anger. Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and sighed.¡±He¡¯s a bastard, a cold-blooded and heartless scumbag.¡± Xu Yuan was stunned. She looked at him as if she had understood something, but at the same time, she didn¡¯t seem to understand. She just looked at him for a long time and didn¡¯t say anything. ***** Two days later. Xu Chengfeng stood in front of the window in the hospital corridor and looked out at the heavy snow outside. The words that Xu Yuan said later that day echoed in his ears. ¡± Since he¡¯s a scumbag, then let Zuo Yue leave him. Even if it means that Zuo Yue has to go to another school and not go to Boston anymore, even if it means that they have to cut off all contact from now on. In short, I will never allow my daughter to experience such a thing again. I will never allow her to be so desperate because of any harm she has suffered.¡± Zuo Yue was still under observation in the ICU. Although it was not as serious as the time when she was young, it was a snowy night with a temperature of-10 ¡ã C. Third-degree frostbite was no small matter. She had to be strictly observed. For two whole days, nearly 50 hours, Xu Chengfeng did not go in to see Zuo Yue again, and in these 50 hours, he did not close his eyes. For two consecutive days, Zuo Yue¡¯s fever would not subside, and her body would be so hot that she would need emergency treatment from the doctor. Otherwise, her body would suddenly drop to an abnormal level, and she would also need emergency treatment. Xu Yuan was so exhausted that she temporarily waited in the waiting room next to the ICU every day. She would occasionally fall asleep and wake up from time to time. Xu Chengfeng had been guarding the place the entire time. His entire body was extremely cold, as if he had suddenly been cut off from the entire world. The sky gradually brightened. The closed door of the ICU suddenly opened, and the nurse who walked out said,¡±Miss Zuo has already woken up.¡± Xu Chengfeng immediately turned around and looked in that direction. At the same time, Xu Yuan, who was resting at the side, heard the sound and quickly woke up. She got up and walked out quickly.¡±Is my daughter awake?¡± The nurse nodded.¡± She¡¯s awake, but she¡¯s still a little unconscious. Although the doctor said that she¡¯s almost out of danger, she¡¯s still very weak for the time being. She still needs to be observed in the intensive care unit. You family members can¡¯t visit her for more than two hours a day. After a few more days of observation, see if you can transfer her to the general ward.¡± Hearing the nurse¡¯s words, Xu Yuan finally heaved a long sigh of relief.¡±Thank you.¡± After saying that, she was about to walk into the ICU. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who was silently looking in her direction. ¡°Chengfeng, Zuo Yue¡¯s emotions still need some time to stabilize. I¡¯ll stay with her in the hospital for the next few days. Since she¡¯s already awake, she probably won¡¯t want to see anyone else.¡±¡±I¡¯ll have to trouble you to handle the matters of the Xu family and the company alone.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s voice was very soft.¡± Xu Chengfeng nodded calmly.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not explain further since he was obviously excluded from the ward. No one in this world was a fool, let alone a shrewd person like Xu Yuan. After all, there were too many coincidences. After all, she could still sense the changes in her daughter. Even if they didn¡¯t dare to believe some of the guesses, they had already begun to carefully avoid them. Xu Yuan took another deep look at him and walked in. Xu Chengfeng stood quietly on the other side of the aisle with one hand in his trouser pocket. When Ainte called, Xu Chengfeng picked up the phone. He glanced at the caller ID and put it to his ear. After a moment of silence, he said,¡±¡±I understand.¡± He put down his phone and looked at the ward again. The tightly shut door was like a huge barrier in front of him. He used to be so careful that he did not want to step in. Now, his heart ached, he was worried, and he was anxious, but he was completely isolated outside the door. ***** Five days later. The matter with the Xu family was basically settled, and the relatives and friends who came to attend the funeral had also left. Other than losing an old man who was over 80 years old and died of illness, the Xu family seemed to be no different. Although there were still a few directors in the Xu Group who were secretly stirring up trouble, they had no way to start because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s concealment. Even though they kept talking about their family background, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s methods and the pressure that the KP Group exerted on the Xu Corporation were not something that the directors could handle. For five consecutive days, he had sent Xu Chengfeng alone to the Xu family to settle everything, but he couldn¡¯t settle himself. ¡°Boss, you haven¡¯t had much rest these past few days. I¡¯ve heard from the hospital that Zuo Yue¡¯s health has improved a lot. She can get out of bed and walk a few steps now and then, and she¡¯s eating more. Everything is getting better, so don¡¯t worry anymore.¡±Ainte pushed open the office door and walked in. He saw Xu Chengfeng reading a few documents on his tablet. As he read, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. For a moment, he could not help but persuade him. Xu Chengfeng lowered his hand from between his eyebrows and looked at the tablet in his hand again. He raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.¡±When will she be discharged?¡± After a pause, Ainte said softly,¡±I¡¯m not sure about that yet. Mrs. Zuo has been very strict with the hospital recently. She used Zuo Yue¡¯s recent emotional instability as an excuse to prevent us from visiting her. Even the news from the hospital was barely found out after asking around and using some connections. Boss, Mrs. Zuo seems to have deliberately cut off the relationship between you and Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything at first. After a moment, he put down the tablet and raised his hand to rub the space between his eyebrows again. The crease between his eyebrows still did not melt. ¡± It¡¯s just some clues and suspicions. It¡¯s precisely because of this suspicion that she would rather kill the wrong person than give Zuo Yue and me any other chance. From a mother¡¯s point of view, what she did was not wrong.¡±Xu Chengfeng commented. Ainte¡¯s lips twitched.¡± You¡¯re decisive. It¡¯s been hard on you, Boss. You¡¯ve been avoiding the little girl before. Now that the little girl¡¯s body is in such a state, it¡¯s difficult for you to even take a look at her. I see that you haven¡¯t been sleeping or resting for the past few days. You often look at Zuo Yue¡¯s photo on your phone and you¡¯re in a daze¡­I say, Boss, is it that hard to admit your feelings for that little girl? When we went to A City back then, it was clearly not just because of Old Master Xu¡¯s death. You didn¡¯t sleep the night you received her call. Why did you¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze swept over him and he immediately shut his mouth. Chapter 1075 - Chapter 1075: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (160) Chapter 1075: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (160) Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze swept over him and he immediately shut his mouth. Ainte stopped talking, but he still looked at Xu Chengfeng.¡±¡±Boss, I made some arrangements at the hospital¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was about to ask him to leave. He looked at him coldly.¡±What arrangements have you made?¡± ¡°Mrs. Zuo will leave the hospital at around 9 pm tonight and return to the Zuo Corporation for an exchange meeting with the mainland. Due to the time difference with the mainland, the meeting will probably last for a few hours.¡±Ainte said as he glanced at Xu Chengfeng, who was still unmoved. ¡°Mrs. Zuo has arranged for Mother Wang of the Zuo family to go to the hospital tonight to take care of her. Mother Wang¡¯s son is working in an electronics company in Los Angeles. I secretly used some tricks on his son¡¯s company to make Mother Wang leave the hospital to see her son. Of course, it¡¯s just a small trick.¡± Ainte didn¡¯t elaborate, but his meaning was clear. ¡°You did this without my permission. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll dismiss your men?¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at him expressionlessly. Ayt shrugged and spread his hands.¡±I thought about the consequences, but you haven¡¯t been sleeping for the past few days. You¡¯ve been acting tough every day as if you really don¡¯t care, but you know very well whether you really care or not. I¡¯m sure your heart has already flown to the hospital. You want to kill all the barriers set up for you in the hospital and rush to the girl who¡¯s been tortured to death because of your ruthlessness.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned and looked at him indifferently.¡±¡±I suddenly feel that there are a few new projects in Africa that are suitable for you to take a look at. You should temporarily put aside the matters in Russia and Los Angeles.¡± Ayt looked at him in surprise.¡±Boss, this is ridiculous! I¡¯ve done my best to help you solve your problems. I¡¯ve even helped you fulfill your unspoken requests. Even if you don¡¯t give me some rewards, you can¡¯t arrange for me to go to that kind of place where birds don¡¯t shit. There aren¡¯t even any decent girls there. Do you want me to bring back a few black girls?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at him coldly, but his handsome eyebrows raised slightly. His voice was also calm as he said,¡±Didn¡¯t anyone tell you not to easily guess your master¡¯s thoughts?¡± Ainte couldn¡¯t help but laugh, but he still tried his best to keep a straight face in case the Boss was too difficult to deal with. He muttered,¡±It¡¯s all because my guess was too accurate.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze swept across him once again. He shut his mouth, raised his hand to his mouth, and gently clenched it into a fist. He cleared his throat in a low voice, then put down his hand and said,¡±¡± If you¡¯re not satisfied with the arrangements at the hospital and don¡¯t want to accept it, I¡¯ll cancel the matter with Wang Ma¡¯s son now. There should still be time. I¡¯ll let Wang Ma take care of Zuo Yue in the hospital for the whole night and not leave her side. Boss, you might never have the chance to see Miss Zuo again. Let¡¯s forget about it¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and tidied up his sleeves expressionlessly. At the same time, he said calmly,¡±¡± Go to Africa, immediately.¡± Ayt took a step back, his face sullen.¡±Then should we cancel it or not? Why don¡¯t I just make some arrangements and cancel the meeting between Mrs. Zuo and the mainland? I think it¡¯s safer to let Mrs. Zuo stay with Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly glanced at him.¡± Ainte held back his laughter and said with a serious expression,¡±Boss, I¡¯m helping you solve your problems, adding bricks and tiles to your love, and for you¡­¡± ¡°Pa-¡± A tablet suddenly flew out of nowhere and smashed onto Ainte¡¯s head. Ainte quickly took the tablet and glanced at the data and letters that had been reviewed. He immediately looked up and saw that Xu Chengfeng had already turned around to pick up the long coat on the back of the chair and put it in his arms. At the same time, he looked back at him coldly. Ainte raised his eyebrows, raised the tablet in his hand, and looked at him questioningly. ¡°Take it to the Planning Department. Get someone to analyze the data of the recent acquisition projects on the HR side and the Xu Corporation¡¯s projects. If the data matches and is suitable for integration, then directly merge the Xu Corporation¡¯s projects.¡±Xu Chengfeng said. ¡°I know.¡± ¡°But Boss, you¡­¡± Ayt nodded. ¡°The matter at the hospital ends here. This is the only time.¡±Xu Chengfeng interrupted him, turned around, and strode out. When the office door was closed and the BOSS had left, Ainte smiled and turned on the tablet. He was helpless about the BOSS who had always been calm and steady recently. He was also lamenting that the BOSS had been living more and more like a human recently. ***** ¡°Mom, do you think I¡¯ve offended some fiend recently? She felt like she was going to be hospitalized every few days.¡± Zuo Yue leaned on the hospital bed and said softly while drinking the soup that Xu Yuan had personally fed her. Xu Yuan looked at her with heartache.¡±¡±Maybe it was a mistake to let you go to Boston.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned.¡± Does that mean you want me to change my studies now?¡± Or¡­What else do you mean?¡± In the few days since Zuo Yue woke up, Xu Yuan realized that although this child had an inexplicable mental breakdown in the snowy night, she seemed to have adjusted her emotions after she woke up. Although she did not say anything, she did not cry or complain in despair. Every time she faced her, she was very obedient and calm. However, Xu Yuan had been accompanying her in the hospital for the past few days. She really could not get anything out of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth. This girl did not mention who the person who hurt her was. Even though the terrifying guess in Xu Yuan¡¯s heart was getting bigger and bigger, Zuo Yue did not react at all. When she mentioned that Xu Chengfeng did not have time to come over these few days, she did not have any reaction either, as if she did not care. Xu Yuan wondered if she was being paranoid again. However, all the coincidences from before were no longer coincidences. Moreover, on that snowy night, Zuo Yue had heard that Xu Chengfeng wanted to get closer to Chairman Qin¡¯s daughter. At that time, she seemed to have lost control of her emotions and ran out without caring about the injury on her leg. It was also because she came out of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s room that Zuo Yue became like this. How could this be considered a coincidence? But after Zuo Yue woke up¡­ Xu Yuan looked at Zuo Yue, who had been obediently listening to the food and drinking the soup, and fell into deep thought. Chapter 1076 - Chapter 1076: Asking the Moon on the Wind (161) Chapter 1076: Asking the Moon on the Wind (161) ¡°Do you have any plans to change your studies?¡±Xu Yuan placed the empty bowl aside and took a tissue to wipe the corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth.¡±¡±Or go back to Los Angeles to continue studying medicine? Although there aren¡¯t as many universities here as there are in Boston, and the one with convenient medical facilities isn¡¯t as good as the one in Boston, you can still be with us and go back to the Zuo family every day.¡± ¡°Or, you can have a foothold in the Zuo Corporation and the Xu Corporation in the future. Do you want to transfer to the business management major? It was only delayed for a few months, so it was not too late.¡± Zuo Yue looked up.¡± Mom, do you really want me to leave Boston now?¡±¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s voice paused. She looked into Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes and did not speak for a long time. Zuo Yue leaned against the bed and looked in the direction of the ward door.¡±¡±You¡¯ve been taking care of me these past few days without sleeping or resting. You¡¯re already so tired, but you¡¯ve still been watching over me. It feels like you¡¯ve been by my side for more than a year.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes slowly lowered as she sighed.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, it¡¯s Mom who has often neglected your feelings. She always thought that you were the eldest daughter of the Zuo family who did not have to worry about food and clothing. She never thought about how important parents ¡®understanding and companionship are. If I had known about this earlier, perhaps your brother wouldn¡¯t have been so distant from his family, and you wouldn¡¯t have almost¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in the past, Mom. What happened when we were young is all in the past.¡±Zuo Yue smiled. Although her face was pale, at least she was much livelier than when she was rushed to the hospital that day. ¡°The snowmen you built that night¡­¡± Xu Yuan looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s fake smile. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused because of her mother¡¯s probing question. She hesitated for a moment and did not answer. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why was he suddenly so agitated? I didn¡¯t ask you about it these few days because I didn¡¯t want you to have too many emotional fluctuations. Now that I see that you¡¯ve regained your senses, Zuo Yue, tell Mom, what happened to you in Boston? What exactly happened?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue silently clenched her fists but did not answer. ¡°Or¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m asking you this way.¡± Xu Yuan looked at her.¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at Xu Yuan. There was confusion in her eyes. She did not know what she wanted to ask. ¡°What happened between you and your uncle in Boston?¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s voice was very, very soft. She kept looking at Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes. When Zuo Yue heard the words ¡± little uncle ¡°, she could not say that she was completely unaffected. However, every word Xu Chengfeng said that night was like a knife cutting into her heart. She did not know how long she thought about it that night in the snow. She did not know what happened at that time, but that terrifying despair and sadness covered all her rationality. However, during the time she was unconscious, she realized that she did not want to chase blindly anymore. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were very calm. She was silent for a while before she said softly,¡±¡±There¡¯s nothing between Uncle and me. It¡¯s just a little misunderstanding that caused our relationship to be sometimes hot and sometimes cold. Mom, you might have misunderstood, but nothing really happened between us.¡± Xu Yuan had been observing her expression. She saw that Zuo Yue had been very calm. Her eyes did not flicker, nor did she dodge. Xu Yuan looked at her for a while before saying,¡±¡±Your uncle said that you fell in love with a man.¡± ¡°He said that?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly raised her eyes.¡± ¡°He said that the man was a bastard, a cold-blooded and heartless scumbag.¡±¡±Is that so?¡± Xu Yuan was still staring into her eyes.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart suddenly felt bitter, and it took her a long time to recover. Then, she smiled bitterly,¡±¡±You¡¯re not thinking too much just because of that, are you? Isn¡¯t it normal for me to fall in love with a man at my age? And I¡¯ve explained it to you, but you never believed me.¡± ¡°That night, you suddenly became like that after you left your uncle¡¯s room. It¡¯s impossible that anything else happened during that time. I¡¯ve checked your phone, and there were no other numbers in your phone call records that night. This means that when you left his room, you did not receive any calls that were enough to make you break down. The crux of the problem lies with your uncle. He did not say anything, and you did not say anything either. Zuo Yue, do you know how Mom has been feeling these few days?¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s expression was a little serious at the moment. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression tightened. She pursed her lips.¡±I¡¯m just¡­ She had only heard some things from her uncle¡­About that person¡­You said some heartless words to me¡­¡± Her answer was vague, but Xu Yuan looked at her suspiciously.¡±Really?¡± Zuo Yue looked up.¡± Otherwise, Mom, do you want something to happen between me and Uncle?¡± He¡¯s so much older than me and he¡¯s my uncle. What do you think will happen between us?¡± Xu Yuan was rendered speechless by her question. After a long time, she gently pulled Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and sighed softly,¡±¡±Forget it. We¡¯ll talk about it after you¡¯re discharged. You still need to recuperate for a while. I¡¯ll go back to the Zuo Corporation later. I¡¯ll ask Wang Ma to come over and accompany you. She hasn¡¯t seen you for a few days and has been worried about your condition.¡± Zuo Yue nodded. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said,¡±¡±Mom, you¡¯re actually very good to us. Compared to Grandpa and Dad, who we can¡¯t see for many days at home, you¡¯re really a very good mom. It¡¯s just that my brother passed away a few years ago, so he doesn¡¯t know about the changes in the family and doesn¡¯t seem to want to participate in the Zuo family anymore. You and Dad are both old now, so you don¡¯t have to worry about us anymore.¡± ¡°Girl, why do you always become more sensible after experiencing a great disaster?¡±Xu Yuan grabbed her hand.¡± I think you shouldn¡¯t go back to Boston in the future. I don¡¯t have to ask you anymore. I¡¯ll just arrange your studies properly.¡±¡± Xu Yuan stood up and turned to leave. ¡°Mom, you want¡­¡± When Zuo Yue heard this, she immediately looked up at her. ¡°It¡¯s almost time. I¡¯ll ask Wang Ma to come over and bring you some favorite food.¡±Xu Yuan picked up the phone as she spoke. When she walked to the door of the ward, she looked at the nurses who were coming and going outside the door. She thought that Xu Chengfeng had indeed not come to the hospital for the past few days, but no matter how Zuo Yue¡¯s words made her believe it, she still felt that it was true. However, some feelings would never come out of thin air. It was not until Mother Wang rushed to the hospital that Xu Yuan left with relief. Zuo Yue sat on the hospital bed and kept talking to Wang Ma. In the end, Wang Ma had just sat in the ward for less than half an hour when she suddenly received a call. She panicked and hurriedly apologized to Zuo Yue and said that she would be back soon. Then, she ran out in a hurry. Zuo Yue sat in the empty and quiet ward. She turned around and looked at the heavy snow falling outside. The snow fell silently. It was as quiet as her heart now, cold and quiet. Chapter 1077 - Chapter 1077: Asking the Moon on the Wind (162) Chapter 1077: Asking the Moon on the Wind (162) The nurse came in to supervise Zuo Yue and left the ward after she took the medicine. Zuo Yue sat by the bed and drank some warm water. She turned around and lifted the blanket to sit on the bed. Just as she was about to lie down, the unlocked door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. She suddenly looked up. The moment Xu Chengfeng, whom she had not seen for a few days, met her eyes, Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze fell on him for a few seconds. Then, as if she did not have any emotions or feelings, she lay back down and silently covered herself with the blanket. She closed her eyes as if he did not exist. After Xu Chengfeng entered the room, he watched her every move and closed the door without disturbing the silence in the ward. Zuo Yue lay down with her eyes closed for a while. Because he had been watching her quietly, she finally opened her eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.¡±Isn¡¯t Uncle busy with the company? Why did he suddenly come to the hospital at this time? I don¡¯t need to visit. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll be discharged in a few days.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. ¡°In addition, I promise that I will never find out about such a thing in the future. Don¡¯t think too much about it. I didn¡¯t do it because of you. It was my own reason. I didn¡¯t intend to give you pressure, nor did I intend to force you to suffer.¡± Zuo Yue was too lazy to pay attention to his expression as she spoke. She only lay on the bed and spoke. After that, she frowned secretly because he did not say a word after entering the door. The words he had said that night seemed to still be near her ears, echoing non-stop. After those words echoed for a moment, she suddenly turned to look at him coldly.¡±I¡¯ve already said it. You don¡¯t have to think that I¡¯m deliberately putting on an act for you to see. You don¡¯t have to come to see me. From now on, I won¡¯t make you hate me anymore. I won¡¯t make you look down on me, and I won¡¯t force you to do things that you don¡¯t want to do.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly and did not say anything. The ward did not have any windows open, so it was very stuffy and hot. He raised his hand and pulled the collar of his shirt under his coat. Then, he unbuttoned two buttons at the same time. His previous look of a business elite instantly turned into a sloppy and domineering one. At the same time, his gaze was locked on her seemingly cold and nonchalant face.¡±Because of my words, you can torture yourself into this state, and you still say that you¡¯re not acting for me? Do you want to freeze to death in a corner and use your sad song to slap my face? Or do you want to ask the guests who haven¡¯t left to attend your funeral a few days after your grandfather¡¯s death? And put the crime of forcing his niece to death on my head?¡± His words were still cold and heartless. Zuo Yue¡¯s heart immediately ached. She suddenly turned to look at him.¡±You¡¯re thinking too much! Mr. Xu!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve made yourself look like this. Who doesn¡¯t think too much?¡± Xu Chengfeng sneered.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Zuo Yue said softly,¡±I thought you didn¡¯t have a heart, so you think too much¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes coldly at the provocation in her words. He stared at her motionless appearance as she lay on the bed. Seeing him standing there after entering the door, it seemed like he was unwilling to get close, but he did not leave. Zuo Yue had just taken her medicine and was a little sleepy. She wanted to rest, but he could not fall asleep at all. She wanted to ignore him, but she was useless. She could not ignore the man¡¯s presence at all. In the end, she opened her eyes and looked at him.¡±If Mr. Xu is fine, you can leave. You are not welcome here. I said that I will not pester you anymore. You can rest assured that I will keep my word this time.¡± Xu Chengfeng still did not respond. Zuo Yue was silent for a moment before she suddenly lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She got up and walked towards him. Her steps were a little unsteady, but she still walked up to him with a cold face and glanced at the door behind him.¡±Do you want me to invite you out?¡± He didn¡¯t say anything. He lowered his eyes and looked at her calmly because she was approaching. His expression was cold and forbearing. There were countless storms hidden in his eyes, but she couldn¡¯t be bothered to pry into his heart. ¡°Mr. Xu.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him and pointed at the door.¡±¡±Uncle, uncle who has an indelible blood relationship with me, please leave so that others won¡¯t think too much about it, so that it won¡¯t affect your reputation, and so that you won¡¯t say that I¡¯m forcing you at a time like this. Since I was the one who took the initiative from the beginning, I was also the one who couldn¡¯t let go repeatedly. I don¡¯t know how many life-and-death situations I¡¯ve experienced in the past few months. I don¡¯t know if I¡¯m fated to have an evil relationship with you either. Since I have made you so disgusted and in so much pain, I will never take an irrational step towards you again.¡± At this point, Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze was cold as she looked at his cold and tense face.¡±¡±Goodbye. If we can never see each other again, of course, I won¡¯t go looking for you. I won¡¯t go to China or Russia again.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a complete lunatic.¡±These words continued to come out of the seemingly calm Xu Chengfeng¡¯s mouth through gritted teeth. It was so cold that it seemed like it could instantly freeze the air around him into ice. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression instantly turned even colder as she looked at him expressionlessly.¡±¡±Yes, I¡¯m a lunatic, I admit it. If I wasn¡¯t crazy, how could I have fallen in love with you? If he wasn¡¯t crazy, why would he risk his life for you? Are you right? I¡¯m only 18 years old. I still have a good time. Why should I throw my life and my fantasies about love onto you?¡± Zuo Yue continued to point at the door behind him.¡±¡±Now, please leave!¡± Xu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at her stern face. Then, he looked at her body that had become thinner and thinner recently. Zuo Yue¡¯s body looked much thinner under the hospital gown. Her clothes were empty, as if she would collapse if she went out and was blown by the wind. ¡°Madman.¡± He suddenly muttered something again, but his voice was very low. Zuo Yue thought that he was scolding her, but when she heard it, she felt that he was not scolding her. She looked up at him. I¡¯m already in this state, and you still have to beat me to the point of eternal damnation? So what if I loved you? Do I have to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell just because I love you? I want to pull it out now, so don¡¯t appear in front of me again. Why are you still scolding me in front of me? Leave! Let¡¯s go!¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand and pushed him.¡±¡±Hurry up and leave!¡± ¡°Mother-in-law!¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly cursed in a low voice. Zuo Yue froze in shock and thought that she had misheard him. He suddenly hugged her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He raised his other hand to hold the back of her head and pulled it forward. He bent down and kissed her lips fiercely. Chapter 1078 - Chapter 1078: Asking the Moon on the Wind (163) Chapter 1078: Asking the Moon on the Wind (163) The touch on her lips was truly terrifying. The strength was fierce and fast, and Zuo Yue was caught off guard by the kiss. Zuo Yue was speechless. She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes filled with shock and question marks. However, she could only feel the man in front of her ravaging his lips as if he was taking revenge. He did not treat her as a patient at all, and he kissed her deeply. Before she could react, he opened her mouth and went deep into her mouth. Before Zuo Yue could recover from her shock, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart softened. He pulled her into his embrace even tighter, completely restricting her freedom. His lips that were holding her gradually became much gentler, but they were still so hot and deep that Zuo Yue could hardly breathe. When her eyes regained focus and her consciousness returned, she suddenly raised her hand to push him away. Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and increased the strength of his kiss. Zuo Yue groaned and he still did not let go. Zuo Yue struggled violently. Xu Chengfeng suddenly bit her lips and warned her in a deep voice,¡±Isn¡¯t this what you want? ¡®You¡¯ve used all means to break through all obstacles and be with me. Since that¡¯s what you want, don¡¯t torture yourself like a madman in the future. Just tell me what you want and I¡¯ll give it to you!''¡± Zuo Yue looked up at him in shock. The man in front of her had a deep look in his eyes, and she could not tell the sincerity in his words. However, she only felt that her lips were being sucked until they hurt. She frowned and her eyes were filled with anger. She tried to push him away again and again. However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly lifted her up by the waist. Zuo Yue¡¯s lips were free to struggle as she said,¡±¡±What are you doing? Xu Chengfeng, let go of me!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you anything you want! I¡¯ll satisfy you! As long as you don¡¯t joke around with your life anymore! You¡¯re indeed capable to force me to this point! Zuo Yue, you have guts too!¡± The man¡¯s voice was almost gnashing his teeth. Under Zuo Yue¡¯s shocked gaze and struggle, he carried her back to the bedside and threw her onto the bed without any gentleness. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Zuo Yuegang was thrown onto the bed, and she sat up in shock. However, just as she stood up, Xu Chengfeng suddenly lowered his head and sealed her lips again. At the same time, he grabbed her hand and forcefully pressed it on the button of his shirt collar.¡±Come, take whatever you want!¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She felt that Xu Chengfeng seemed to have changed into a different person. His entire body was filled with danger. Her trembling hand stopped on his collar and hung weakly, but he grabbed it again. The man leaned into her ear and breathed. His voice was hoarse and low, but there was an irresistible force.¡±You only have one chance. No matter what method you use, you have to force it. Is this your style of doing things? What¡¯s the use of building so many snowmen? Why don¡¯t you just chop me into pieces and place me in front of you to accompany you? Hmm? Isn¡¯t that what you want? Here, take it! Come and get it!¡± Xu Chengfeng said as he grabbed her hand again. At the same time, he took her hand and forced her to unbutton one of the buttons on his shirt collar. Zuo Yue was so shocked by his words and actions that she could not say a word. She only kept pushing him away with red eyes and shook her head to reject him! No! That was not what she thought! She didn¡¯t want to force him! That night, her emotions had only reached an extreme point. She could not control what she had done after that. She did not want some of the trauma from her childhood to become a painful trick that he was accusing her. She was not that despicable! Xu Chengfeng completely ignored her red eyes and her resistance. He lowered his head and kissed her ear, causing her to tremble. Zuo Yue could not resist at all. She tried her best to pull her hand away from his palm, but she could not. It was not until Xu Chengfeng let go of her hand and sealed her lips again. The powerful kiss engulfed everything. Zuo Yue swallowed nervously and wanted to explain it to him. The man in front of her had a dangerous glow in his black eyes. She subconsciously wanted to escape, but her body was already pressed down on the bed by him. The man on top of her was as swift as a cheetah and could not be resisted. He narrowed his cold eyes and looked at her nervous and helpless expression. She did not even know how to explain or resist. He narrowed his eyes, which were as cold and sharp as an eagle¡¯s. As her chest was heaving up and down nervously, he tore off the hospital gown on her body and kissed her lips fiercely as Zuo Yue cried out in surprise. He kissed her lips so hard that Zuo Yue frowned fiercely but could not push him away. She had an instinctive resistance to something that she had always been looking forward to but had never experienced before. Just as she was about to get up, her body tensed up from nervousness. Before she could push him away, Xu Chengfeng had already pressed her hands against the bed, and his kiss slowly moved down from her swollen lips. Until he bit one of her breasts, and everything that happened that night before he left instantly returned to her mind like a reversed memory. Zuo Yue was so anxious that tears were already flowing out of the corner of her eyes. She was powerless to resist and could only lie on the bed and let him do whatever he wanted. She choked and said softly,¡±Don¡¯t be like this¡­Uncle¡­Don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear her until she was sobbing non-stop. His voice was so choked that he could not speak a complete sentence. He leaned over her and leaned into her ear, panting deeply.¡±Just tell me what you want. You came into my room in the middle of the night and complained about my indifference. You even forced me to threaten me and wanted to stay in my room. Do you think I don¡¯t know what you want? I¡¯ll give you all of them now. Is that enough? Are you satisfied?¡± Zuo Yue turned her head abruptly and looked at him with an accusing gaze. However, before he could say anything, he suddenly felt that a part of his lower body was already beginning to show its heavenly might. Through a layer of his clothing, it indicated that he was really in danger at this moment. Zuo Yue opened her mouth but could not say anything. She only looked at him with fear in her eyes. When Xu Chengfeng turned her face away and kissed her lips again, her eyes turned red and she nervously glanced in the direction of the ward door. She hadn¡¯t forgotten that he hadn¡¯t locked the door from the inside. She hadn¡¯t forgotten that Wang Ma had said that she was just going out for a while and would be back soon. She hadn¡¯t forgotten that her mother was only going out for a meeting and that she didn¡¯t know when she would suddenly return to the hospital. ¡°Wu wu!¡± Zuo Yue could not focus on enjoying the man in front of her, who was clearly extremely irritable. She raised her hand and pinched his back. Xu Chengfeng bit her lips even harder as he felt the pain. Chapter 1079 - Chapter 1079: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (164) Chapter 1079: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (164) Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand pulled down the pants under her hospital gown. The moment the edge of the pants slid down, Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes widened and her body suddenly tensed up. The hand that was originally pushing his shoulder suddenly tightened, and her eyes were filled with panic. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ Don¡¯t¡­ Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue was really scared at this moment. Her eyes were red as she looked helplessly at the man who was almost driven crazy by her.¡±Take your hand away¡­Don¡¯t¡­¡± The fear in Zuo Yue¡¯s heart had already reached its peak, and she was trembling under his body. Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly, and a cold smile appeared on his face. The more frightened she was, the more he caressed her with his hands. He gently pulled up the edge of her underwear, and Zuo Yue grabbed his shoulders tightly.¡±Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°What do you want? Hmm?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zuo Yue was so uncomfortable that she wanted to close her legs, but he was between her legs. He kissed her lips as if he did not leave any leeway. He gradually went down and kissed her chin and her snow-white neck. The strength between his fingers suddenly deepened and increased. Zuo Yue instantly felt so ashamed that she could not even put her face to the ground. She did not know what had happened to her just now. Although she felt humiliated and hurt, she¡­ If they were really together, how could she possibly withstand the last level of human ethics? He was unable to break through, but he was forced by her to go crazy, lose his rationality, and fall into hell. He wanted to never see her again, but he wanted to know how she was doing. Who was crazy? Xu Chengfeng closed his eyes and suddenly kissed her lips again. He sucked and nibbled on her lips mercilessly with the force that almost robbed her of all her breath. Zuo Yue trembled helplessly under him. When Xu Chengfeng once again tried to invade her lower body, Zuo Yue suddenly shrank back and accidentally squeezed his fingers. Xu Chengfeng let out a muffled groan, and all the strength in his body seemed to suddenly press down on her. At the same time, he directly bit her ear, as if he hated her, as if he wanted revenge, and as if he could not bear it anymore and needed to vent. Zuo Yue has no strength at all, she can only redden her eyes, tears fall on the bed, she sobs and says: ¡°Why are you treating me like this¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not speak for a while. After a long time, he seemed to be barely able to suppress some of his desires that were about to collapse. Suddenly, he placed his hands on both sides of her body and slowly raised his body. He lowered his eyes and saw the fear and sadness that flashed in her eyes. He still suppressed his cold voice and said,¡±Why are you forcing me like this?¡± Zuo Yue sobbed.¡± I just said that I will never force you again. I will stay far away from you. I¡­¡± ¡°Too late.¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly said these two words. His voice was very soft. He stared into her eyes and spoke softly. Even though his voice was soft, every word was clear. Zuo Yue¡¯s breathing instantly stopped. She stared blankly at the pain and hesitation that flashed in his eyes. ¡°The first time, I was still able to force myself to be rational. The second time, you entered the abyss again. If you want to retreat now, do you think it¡¯s still too late?¡±Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her.¡± I can¡¯t give you a reason to hurt yourself anymore. I can¡¯t watch you indulge yourself and sink into oblivion. If you really want to sink into oblivion¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng stared into her eyes. Although his expression was cold, he said seriously and clearly,¡±¡±It seems that I can only stand in front of you and accompany you. It¡¯s better than you bearing everything alone. It¡¯s better than you getting hurt time and time again in places that I can¡¯t see.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s tears fell in large drops. She lay under his body without moving. Her lips were already stained with tears. She choked and said,¡±But my mom seems to have found out¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Xu Chengfeng said lightly. Zuo Yue sniffled. She did not know if he was telling the truth or not. She did not know if she still had the courage to bear such feelings. She just looked at his eyes speechlessly and raised her hand to wipe her tears, but she did not say anything. ¡°From now on, you better be good. Don¡¯t cause so much trouble and don¡¯t let yourself get hurt. Study obediently and live a good life. If the heavens open their eyes, perhaps one day we can stand in front of others openly. If the heavens don¡¯t open their eyes, if you¡¯re willing, I can accompany you in the dark and only belong to you. Is that enough?¡± Zuo Yue nodded and shook her head again. She cried uncontrollably,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want these words. I don¡¯t want you to say these words as if you¡¯re compromising. I don¡¯t want to force you. If you¡¯re unwilling, I will really give up. I really won¡¯t pester you anymore. I¡­¡± Chapter 1080 - Chapter 1080: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (165) Chapter 1080: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (165) Zuo Yue did not move and allowed him to kiss her. Her hands were stiff and tightly wrapped around the material of his shirt but she did not hug his neck. She was afraid and uneasy. She did not know if she should hug her tightly. She did not know how to hold on to such a relationship. Xu Chengfeng kissed away the tears on her face one by one, and then they were entangled with each other for a while. His hands had already tidied up her hospital gown and helped her put her pants back on. After buttoning them up, he got up and left her body as if nothing had happened. Zuo Yue was still lying on the bed without moving. She did not have the strength to get up and could only look at him with her lifeless eyes. However, Xu Chengfeng turned his eyes away. He felt that he must have been possessed. The purpose of coming here was to warn her one last time and make her let go completely. However, how did things turn out like this in such a short time? However, even after such a change, he did not regret it at all. Perhaps she was not the only one who was sinking into this so-called sinking. Even he had long been sinking into it and could not extricate himself. ***** When Xu Chengfeng left the ward, it was already two hours later. Wang Ma was about to come back, and Zuo Yue had already fallen asleep due to exhaustion. The moment he opened the door of the ward and walked out, he saw Xu Yuan standing outside the door for a long time. Xu Chengfeng was not surprised at all. He only glanced at her and pointed outside, meaning to go there and talk to her so that he would not disturb the people inside. Xu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything. She just swept her gaze across his body and saw that although his shirt was still neat, it was obviously slightly creased. Her gaze paused for a moment before she turned around and left. On the first floor of the hospital, in the quiet VIP lounge, Xu Yuan pushed open the door and walked straight to the window not far away. She opened the window and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. When she heard the steady footsteps behind her, she suddenly turned to look at him. She saw that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were calm, as if he did not feel frustrated at all. ¡°How long have you been back?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked before she could speak. ¡°Not long ago, but I knew you were inside. In order to prevent Zuo Yue from being emotionally unstable, I didn¡¯t go in.¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s expression was a little ugly.¡± I¡¯ve been feeling uneasy during the meeting. I was afraid that something might happen to her again, so I ended the meeting early and came to take a look.¡± In the end¡­Chengfeng, what exactly happened? You and Zuo Yue¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Xu Chengfeng replied calmly,¡± She¡¯s still a child at her age who is still ignorant of relationships. She¡¯s too easily attached to the people around her. In addition, she experienced what happened in the Zuo family when she was young. You should know how much she relies on and desires for family and relationships.¡± ¡°Are you blaming me for not giving her enough company?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s expression froze. Is this the reason why you and my daughter have feelings for each other?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a reason. From the moment I walked into this hospital, I never thought of any reason.¡±¡±Say what you want to say. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve been holding it in for a long time.¡±¡± Xu Yuan stared at him and did not criticize him too much. After all, she had seen too many storms and waves. It was just that it was inevitable that she could not maintain complete rationality when it came to her daughter¡¯s matter. After looking at him for a long time, she said softly,¡±The Xu Corporation is just a burden to you, isn¡¯t it?¡± Xu Chengfeng paused and replied,¡±Yes.¡±¡± Xu Yuan immediately frowned.¡± You¡¯ve been wanting to leave the Xu family ever since you found out about your background. Now, I¡¯ll grant you your wish. If you really don¡¯t want any connection between the HR Group and the Xu Corporation, I can spare you the responsibility. However, you have to agree to one condition of mine.¡± Xu Chengfeng remained silent until Xu Yuan clearly stated her conditions. Seeing that he did not agree directly and even wavered in his relationship with Zuo Yue, Xu Yuan was so angry that her eyes turned red. She glared at him and said loudly,¡±Xu Chengfeng! You have to agree even if you don¡¯t want to! You must agree!¡± Xu Chengfeng remained silent. He was only thinking. He was thinking about Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze and the taste of that little girl¡¯s tears. ¡°Zuo Yue is my daughter, my biological daughter!¡±Xu Yuan added, staring straight into his eyes.¡±Chengfeng, you only have one choice! The only choice!¡± ***** ¡°Miss Sun, eat slowly. Your appetite was so bad two days ago. Why did you eat so much pork ribs these past two days? Although eating more is a good thing, your body still needs to eat normally. Eating too much is not good for your body. You have to chew carefully and swallow slowly. Aiya, you child, why do you eat like you¡¯re snatching food¡­¡± Mother Wang watched as Zuo Yue finished the food she had brought like a whirlwind. She immediately began to pack her things helplessly.¡±Alright, if you¡¯re full, I¡¯ll go back first. Madam has something to do these two days, so she asked me to bring you some food. I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ll be bored in the hospital alone in the afternoon.¡± ¡°No need, no need. I¡¯m fine.¡±Zuo Yue wiped her mouth clean and smiled at Wang Ma. Her eyes clearly showed that she wanted Wang Ma to leave quickly after finishing her meal. How could Wang Ma not see the look in her eyes? She smiled helplessly and turned to leave. Once again, she was alone in the ward. Zuo Yue lay on the bed and secretly took out her phone from under the table beside her. She glanced at the time displayed on her phone. Mother wasn¡¯t around in the afternoon these two days, so Mother Wang only watched her leave after dinner. Xu Chengfeng would come over to accompany her every afternoon. Even if it was just to talk to her, sit beside her and watch her take her injections and medicine, even if it was just a kiss and a hug, Zuo Yue still looked forward to the afternoon. Even if every time she saw him, she was a little nervous and did not dare to take the initiative to hug him, but Xu Chengfeng had been very proactive these days. She was about to send a message to ask when he would arrive when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and was stunned for a moment. Then, she picked up the phone.¡±Hello? Ai Ke?¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, are you still in Los Angeles recently? Don¡¯t forget what we agreed on before. You must come to the class reunion at the end of this month. All of them are bringing their boyfriends over. It¡¯s so infuriating. I feel so embarrassed to not have a boyfriend. I have to find one and bring him over as soon as possible. Also, Lian Keying keeps talking about your boyfriend. Zuo Yue, do you want to bring your boyfriend too? Ah, it¡¯s fine if you¡¯re really unwilling. I just think that it¡¯s more lively with more people¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. Before she could say anything, there was a sudden sound from the door of the ward. She turned her head with her phone and saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s tall figure entering the door. Chapter 1081 - Chapter 1081: Asking the Moon on the Wind (166) Chapter 1081: Asking the Moon on the Wind (166) ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Zuo Yue spoke into the phone, then turned to face Xu Chengfeng and waved at him. Seeing that she was on the phone, Xu Chengfeng did not say much after entering the room. He only placed the strawberry cake that she had been clamoring for yesterday afternoon on the table beside her bed. Zuo Yue smiled when she saw the cake. She lost her patience to talk to Ai Ke on the phone. She only looked at Xu Chengfeng with a smile. When she saw him put his coat on the sofa, she turned around and helped her cut the cake and put it on a small plate. She licked her tongue and kept smiling as she watched his meticulous actions. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the gathering in a few days. I¡¯ll see how it goes.¡±Zuo Yue said to Ai Ke and was about to hang up. Ai Ke suddenly said,¡± But the gathering is only a few days away. We have to confirm the exact number of people before we can arrange the location. For example, whether the private room for the gathering is big or small, and the seats. We have to confirm the base number.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you the news tomorrow.¡± Zuo Yue hung up the phone after she finished speaking. Then, she reached out and took the small cake that Xu Chengfeng had already cut. She took it and ate it while smiling happily as if she was extremely satisfied. Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly when he saw how happy she was when she ate the cake. A hint of affection flashed in his eyes. He sat by the bed and watched her eat the cake. When he saw that the hair on her cheek was almost stained with cream, he could not stand it anymore and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear.¡±Don¡¯t you know to comb your hair before eating? Do you want to eat your hair with cream?¡± As he spoke, he took off a colorful rubber band from her wrist and tied her hair behind her head. Although he was a little rusty when combing a girl¡¯s hair and it looked a little messy after combing it, at least her hair would not get stained when she ate the cake. Zuo Yue ate until the corner of her mouth was filled with cream. She smiled and looked at him.¡±Why have you changed so much recently? At first, I thought that you were just trying to make me happy by coaxing me for two days, but you¡¯re so persistent. I¡¯m really afraid that I¡¯ll waver again.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. He merely stroked her forehead and wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth, signaling her to eat the strawberry on the cake first. Zuo Yue took a bite of the red strawberry and snorted happily,¡±¡±So sweet!¡± ¡°Who were you talking to on the phone just now?¡±Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while and asked casually. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s a classmate They were classmates who had known each other since they were still in school in Los Angeles. They had a good relationship back then, and they were not strangers now. They planned to hold a class reunion at the end of this month. It was originally just a simple class reunion, but it turned into a boyfriend show-off competition by a few troublemakers.¡±Zuo Yue mumbled as she looked at the remaining cake on the table. The cake on the small plate in her hand had already been eaten. She glanced at it and then turned to look at Xu Chengfeng pitifully.¡±Can I continue eating?¡± ¡°Your mother said that your health has improved a lot recently and that you can be discharged soon. That¡¯s why I agreed to let you eat cake, but you can¡¯t eat too much.¡±Xu Chengfeng obviously did not intend to let her continue eating. ¡°Then why did you buy such a big one?¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly puffed up. Her eyes would occasionally glance in the direction of the cake. Then, she raised a finger and said with a smile,¡±Just one more piece, just one more piece. The cake you bought looks like it¡¯s eight inches long, but I¡¯ve only eaten one-eighth of it. How can I stand it? It¡¯s right there, where there are many strawberries. Can you cut it off and let me eat some more?¡±Zuo Yue reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve like a spoiled child. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°Yes, the last piece!¡± Seeing that he actually compromised so easily, Zuo Yue immediately raised a finger and waved it in front of his eyes happily. Xu Chengfeng got up and helped her cut another piece. When he brought it over, Zuo Yue ate the cake happily and said,¡±¡±Do you still remember the girl I met in that boutique when I went to order clothes?¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment. He did not have much of an impression of the girl, but he had a deep impression of the scene where Zuo Yue suddenly became very sharp from her silence. He used his eyes to show that he still had some impression, but he did not say anything. He was so calm that it was as if nothing could arouse his interest at all. ¡°It¡¯s all her fault. It was supposed to be a good gathering, but she insisted that everyone bring their boyfriends.¡±Zuo Yue took a bite of the cake and looked at him.¡±¡±She said that she was single, so there¡¯s nothing embarrassing about going alone. However, the last time she saw you, if everyone with boyfriends brought them along and I went alone, she would definitely find an excuse to cause trouble again. I¡¯ve been thinking about this. Just now, my classmate called to talk about this.¡± ¡°So?¡± Xu Chengfeng could tell that there was a hidden meaning in her words, but he still waited patiently for her to take the bait. Zuo Yue widened her eyes and looked at him when she saw that he was answering her question.¡±Then can you accompany me?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and did not answer. Zuo Yue put down the small plate and fork of cake in her hands. She tilted her head and looked at his calm but unfathomable expression.¡± Although I know that this request seems a little difficult for me to make, the last time you helped me act, it was just that you were riding a tiger and couldn¡¯t get off. But now, the person who is riding a tiger and couldn¡¯t get off is me. I¡­¡± If you hadn¡¯t come every day these few days, I might not have dared to mention this to you, but¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes and secretly looked at his expression.¡±¡±But now that I¡¯m making such a childish request of you, I don¡¯t know if you¡¯ll agree or not. If you don¡¯t agree, then forget it.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go.¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly said. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze, but she only nodded in understanding. Everything was within expectations and within reason. It was indeed too hasty to help her previously. If he really went to the party with her as her boyfriend, and if his identity as her uncle was exposed, she would only become a joke in the eyes of her classmates. It was indeed very inappropriate for him to go. Zuo Yue did not have much hope because she thought of all these. However, when she heard such a direct rejection, she only remained silent for a moment before she continued to pick up the small plate and eat the cake without saying anything else. Seeing that she had learned to endure and no longer begged or pester him, she had been too quiet in front of him these past few days. Xu Chengfeng looked at her but remained silent. Chapter 1082 - Chapter 1082: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (167) Chapter 1082: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (167) On the fourth day after Zuo Yue was discharged from the hospital, Zuo Hancheng, who had not returned to the Zuo family for five years, suddenly came back with his new wife. This made Zuo Yue, who had just gone home to replenish her nutrients for a few days, so excited that she instantly forgot everything. She did not need to participate in the matters of the Xu family for the time being. Xu Yuan had not been to the Xu Corporation recently. Although Zuo Yue did not ask too clearly, she could feel that the Xu family seemed to be temporarily handed over to Xu Chengfeng to handle. Because Zuo Hancheng had brought Gu Anhao back to the Zuo family home, Zuo Yue had been focusing on Gu Anhao for the past few days. It was not easy for her brother to finally come back and bring her sister-in-law back. Zuo Yue was busy entertaining her sister-in-law every day and talking about all kinds of bad things about Zuo Hancheng when he was young. She was very busy. It was not until the day before the Spring Festival that Zuo Hancheng left with Anhao. As soon as the two ladies left, the Zuo family fell into silence again. Grandfather¡¯s temper had always been like that. When Gu Anhao was still around, he would always be cold and distant. After she left, he would start nagging non-stop. He would even nag about when Gu Anhao¡¯s child would be born, whether she could keep it, and whether she could successfully carry her great-grandson. Zuo Yue wanted to smash her bowl every time she heard her grandfather muttering these words at the dining table. Since you¡¯re so concerned and worried, why don¡¯t you express your concern when she¡¯s around? Why did you have to scold her in front of Gu Anhao? You only started to worry after she left! Did the people of the Zuo family follow the old master¡¯s cold on the outside but cold on the inside? Sometimes, Zuo Yue really wondered if she was the biological child of the Zuo family. Why was her personality completely different from theirs? Besides, Anhao wasn¡¯t pregnant at all. After Zuo Yue found out the truth, she didn¡¯t tell anyone. She wasn¡¯t a big mouth who would go around telling people about it. However, when she saw that her mother was planning to take some time to go to China to take care of Anhao for a period of time because of her pregnancy, Zuo Yue almost couldn¡¯t help it. However, if her mother was not in the United States or Los Angeles for the time being, she could find an opportunity to visit Xu Chengfeng. Although her mother did not restrict her movements recently, Zuo Yue felt inexplicably guilty every time her mother threw a glance at her. That was why Zuo Yue did not reveal the truth of Anhao¡¯s pregnancy to anyone in the family until Xu Yuan suddenly flew to China a few days after the Spring Festival. If her brother and sister-in-law could make her grandfather not reject her so much because of this reason, and if her brother was using this method to temporarily prevent Anhao from getting hurt, Zuo Yue would not have said anything. Although she really wanted to hug her little nephew as soon as possible, it just had to be a fake pregnancy. Just thinking about it made her feel a little disappointed. ***** At the end of February. Winter vacation was coming to an end, and Zuo Yue was already in the process of transferring to another school. She would continue to study in Los Angeles, and someone would be in charge of the handover in Boston. Zuo Yue was still a little confused about her future direction and fate. It seemed that she could not decide whether she wanted to study medicine or business. It was as if her mother was doing everything for her sake, for her own good. But no matter what, Zuo Yue could not refute it. After all, she did feel a little guilty about everything that had happened in Boston. Anyway, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any plans to go to Boston in recent years. However, her family had recently bought a new car, which Zuo Yue liked very much. She took advantage of her mother¡¯s absence to drive directly to the business street in the bustling area of Los Angeles. After buying the dress she would wear to the party tomorrow, she simply went straight to Xu Corporation. All the employees of the Xu Corporation recognized her. Zuo Yue went straight to the office without any obstruction, but Xu Chengfeng was not in the office. After asking around, she found out that he was still holding a board meeting in the conference room on the lower floor. It had not been long since the board of directors who had always been skeptical of his identity and ability and even wanted to seize power had gradually been baptized by him. On the surface, no one dared to jump out and speak nonsense. The secretary wanted to take Zuo Yue to the lounge to wait, but Zuo Yue smiled and did not go. She turned around and went downstairs. When she reached the door of the conference room, she raised her finger and said to the security guard outside the door,¡±Shh ~¡± She leaned against the door of the conference room and secretly listened to the voices inside. The security guard knew that this young lady in front of him was not to be trifled with. After all, it was her family¡¯s company and the person inside was her uncle, so he did not stop her. The conference room was filled with all kinds of conversations in English, including the big screen and various electronic reports. Zuo Yue listened for a long time but did not hear Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice. She pursed her lips and was about to turn around to leave, but just as she turned around, she suddenly saw Xu Chengfeng walking out of the elevator next door. She did not stabilize her footsteps and crashed into his arms. Xu Chengfeng suddenly hugged her and lowered his eyes to see her embarrassed expression as if she had been grabbed by someone. He immediately looked at her hesitantly.¡±Why are you here?¡± ¡°No¡­ Nothing¡­¡± Zuo Yue took a step back awkwardly.¡±¡±I was shopping nearby just now, so I came over to take a look¡­¡± ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t let go of her and instead held her by the waist. He glanced at the meeting room behind her and said,¡±¡±Watch my meeting?¡± ¡°I thought you were inside¡­¡± Although the security guard in front of the door had already left, and although there was no one around, there was still a surveillance camera in the corridor. Zuo Yue carefully pushed the hand that was wrapped around her waist.¡±I¡¯ll wait for you in your office.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her, but he did not let go of her. When Zuo Yue turned her eyes, he seemed to see a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He only hooked his arm slightly and pulled her back into his arms. At the same time, he leaned over and kissed her ear gently.¡±A few days ago, you didn¡¯t come to see me because Zuo Hancheng and his wife returned to the Zuo family. It wasn¡¯t easy for you to come today.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat because of his seductive posture. She was forced into his embrace. It was as if she had been the one taking the initiative from the beginning until now. It was rare for Xu Chengfeng to be so seductive now. Her ears instantly turned red and her heart trembled. The defenses she had built up were in danger of collapsing. She raised her eyes to look at him carefully, but once again, she saw the deep emotions in his eyes that no one could understand. In fact, Zuo Yue did not know why she had been feeling that there was something in the middle recently. She would occasionally talk to Xu Chengfeng on the phone, and his tone and everything about him did not sound like he was pushing her away, but he did not take the initiative to be with her without caring about anything. He was clearly hugging her, but she felt that he had something on his mind. Chapter 1083 - Chapter 1083: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (168) Chapter 1083: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (168) ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± As soon as he returned to the office with Xu Chengfeng, he put down his suit jacket and pulled Zuo Yue into his arms. He hugged her like the gentlest lover in the world and kissed her on the hairline. Zuo Yue was surprised by his sudden change. She blinked and looked at him.¡±That¡­ Uncle, you don¡¯t have to be like this. I¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s already noon, aren¡¯t you hungry?¡±Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear her and continued to look at her like the gentlest and most patient lover in the world. Zuo Yue opened her mouth and only came back to her senses after a long time. Her heart was in turmoil. She pursed her lips and said,¡±¡±Anything is fine. I¡¯m not particularly hungry.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at the time.¡± I¡¯ll take you to lunch first. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I can spend some time with you.¡±¡± As he spoke, he picked up his coat and electronic car keys and turned to walk out. Seeing Zuo Yue standing there with a dumbfounded expression, he turned back to look at her. Seeing that she had not recovered from her shock at all, he immediately smiled and reached out to hug her.¡±It wasn¡¯t easy for you to get out of the house. Are you going to stand in the office like a wooden man for the entire afternoon?¡± Zuo Yue blinked and looked at him. She pursed her lips and really wanted to ask him how his attitude towards her changed so quickly. He had been very busy when she had occasionally talked to him on the phone a few days ago. Although his tone on the phone did not push her far away, it definitely did not make her feel this warm feeling. However, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have really taken on the identity of her boyfriend. There was no sign at all, and it was so sudden¡­Intimate¡­ ¡°Um, my mom went to China.¡± Xu Chengfeng led her into the elevator. When the elevator door closed, Zuo Yue was so embarrassed because of the quiet atmosphere that she did not know whether she should take the initiative like before or tell him what she felt was wrong. However, the words that came out of her mouth still randomly found another topic. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome eyebrows raised slightly. He looked sideways at her conflicted expression, which was obviously happy but also uneasy, and he did not know what to do. He said calmly,¡±She told me before she went to China.¡± ¡°I ran out as soon as my mom left. Dad and Grandpa didn¡¯t know my whereabouts, but I felt that my mom seemed to have discovered something, so I didn¡¯t dare to come out a few days ago.¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his arm and wrapped it around her shoulder. He pressed her into his embrace in a somewhat domineering and gentle manner. At the same time, he whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Don¡¯t say anything, I know.¡± ¡°What do you know? Do you know that my mother has been paying special attention to my emotions these days? Even when my sister-in-law and my brother were in the Zuo family, my mother often ran into my room to talk to me, as if she was afraid that I would take things too hard or that something would happen to me.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze did not change. After he glanced at the number on the elevator, he tightened his grip on her shoulder, but his voice was still calm and emotionless.¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Yue was puzzled. She felt that something was not right. However, he could not say why. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng was so sure as if nothing had happened, she did not ask further. However, before the elevator stopped on the first floor and was about to open, she knew that this was the Xu Corporation¡¯s office. She quickly pushed his hand away and took a step back. Her face was embarrassed and red as she lowered her head to avoid the gaze of the people outside. Even though the staff of the Xu Corporation did not see the intimate behavior between the two of them, she was still too embarrassed to raise her head. When he walked out of Xu Enterprise, Xu Chengfeng stood by the roadside until the person in charge of the parking lot drove his car over. After he got out of the car, he nodded respectfully in front of Xu Chengfeng and said that he had filled up the gas. Xu Chengfeng then turned to look at Zuo Yue, who was standing behind him with a dazed expression, and signaled her to get into the car with his eyes. ¡°You really don¡¯t have to go back to the company this afternoon?¡±Zuo Yue walked forward and sat in the car as she fastened her seatbelt. After Xu Chengfeng got into the car, his lips curled up slightly.¡±This afternoon, I¡¯m yours.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue instantly turned to look at the man beside her in shock. However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to think that there was a problem with his words. His expression remained calm and collected. He calmly pulled open the collar of his shirt, calmly started the car, calmly controlled the steering wheel, and calmly drove off. Zuo Yue looked at him for a long time before she stiffly turned to look at the road ahead. She was in a daze for a long time before she said,¡±¡±Uncle, what did you just say?¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled and glanced at her.¡±¡±What did I say?¡± ¡°You¡­That sentence just now¡­¡± Zuo Yue felt that the uneasy line of defense in her heart was about to be broken bit by bit. Her heart was twitching and she could not describe the feeling. It was excitement, hesitation, fear, worry, but more than that, she was nervous and excited.¡±That sentence¡­What you said just now¡­I¡­ Did I hear wrongly?¡± ¡°Which sentence?¡± Xu Chengfeng still smiled faintly and did not reply to her wishes. He only smiled and looked at her twice before turning back to look at the road ahead and driving at a warm speed. Zuo Yue did not know where he was planning to take her to eat, but although she had not recovered from her excitement just now, she suddenly felt disappointed because of his attitude. Once a woman was aroused, she was indeed not a normal animal. Her mood fluctuated, and she felt that she would die if she continued to torment herself. She let out a sigh of relief and was about to forget what had just happened when Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded faintly.¡±My heart is yours¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes abruptly and turned her eyes abruptly again. She stared blankly at the side profile of his cold and calm face as he drove. Xu Chengfeng did not look at her, but from his expression, he did not look like he was joking. ¡°I have a few important clients and signing ceremonies in Los Angeles tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I can¡¯t accompany you to the class reunion. In order to make it up to you, you can do whatever you want this afternoon.¡±Xu Chengfeng said seriously. At the same time, he parked the car in a parking lot by the roadside and turned to look at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was still shocked by the words ¡°I¡¯m yours¡±. The moment he turned around, she blinked.¡±Actually, there¡¯s nothing much to the gathering tomorrow. I didn¡¯t have much hope at first. Moreover, our relationship can¡¯t be in a place with too many people¡­I understand, so you don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°So you don¡¯t want my time this afternoon?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His smile was light and filled with a hint of affection. Chapter 1084 - Chapter 1084: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1084: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon ¡°So you don¡¯t want my time this afternoon?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. His smile was light and filled with a hint of affection. ¡°Yes! Yes, yes, yes!¡± Zuo Yue answered without thinking. After she answered, her face turned red. She could not care whether she was nervous or trying to feel the warmth that he gave her. She only knew that this Xu Chengfeng was what she had always wanted. She only knew that their warmth and sweetness were what she wanted the most after enduring all the pain. She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. She turned around and walked into the nearest restaurant near where he had parked. After lunch, Zuo Yue thought that he would send her back to the Zuo family or go straight to the company. She did not really take the sentence ¡± I¡¯m yours ¡± seriously. In the end, Xu Chengfeng brought her directly to the Hollywood cinema in the city center. After the car stopped there, Zuo Yue looked outside and was stunned for a moment before she asked,¡±¡±Do you have a client here? Or do you have something to talk to someone else? Should I leave? Or should we go back first?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to watch a movie with me?¡± Xu Chengfeng said. Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze for a long time before she said,¡±¡±What¡­The movie¡­¡± After a moment of silence, Xu Chengfeng suddenly reached out and opened the glove compartment in front of his car. The moment she pulled it open, Zuo Yue saw a few movie tickets stained with blood. It seemed to have been there for some time. The blood on them was yellow and black, and the color was very dark. However, she recognized those movie tickets. ¡± Some young ladies once had a high fever and braved the wind and snow just to watch a movie with me. In the end, they even almost gave up their lives and got shot. I made that young lady wait for so long. Now that I have the time, I have to accompany her to watch a movie. Only then will I not let down her pure age and grand love.¡± Zuo Yue stared at the blood-stained movie tickets, and her nose suddenly turned sour. She suddenly turned to look at him.¡±Why are these movie tickets still here?¡± ¡°The night you were injured, before I carried you into the car, there was a stack of cards that fell to the ground, but you were still holding the remaining few cards in your hand.¡±Xu Chengfeng closed the storage box as he spoke. At the same time, he said calmly and gently,¡±¡± Recently, a few blockbusters with good box office earnings have been released. You can choose which one you want to watch. We¡¯ll go in and watch it.¡± ¡°Now? Are you going to watch a movie with me now?¡± Zuo Yue was flattered.¡± Do you really want to watch a movie with me?¡± Right now? Here?¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled and raised his hand to gently ruffle her hair.¡±¡±Silly girl, I¡¯m yours this afternoon. Let alone watching a movie, if you ask for anything else, I¡¯ll agree.¡± When Zuo Yue heard the words ¡± other requests,¡± her face instantly turned hot.¡±Why would I have other requests¡­¡± As long as he could be by her side every day, smile at her every day, eat and live together every day, and occasionally watch a movie together, it would be enough for her to feel his existence and let them hug each other without any worries. How could she dare to make other requests¡­ After getting off the car, Xu Chengfeng watched a few recently released movies and handed the movie list to Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue could tell that he really wanted to accompany her, so she did not reject him. After choosing for a long time, she chose a sci-fi blockbuster that he would not find too boring. She also liked to watch. When the two of them lined up to enter the theater, Zuo Yue looked at the couples walking past them and saw them holding hands or arms. Sometimes, they would kiss each other directly, and they could not help but lean closer to Xu Chengfeng. Just as she moved, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have heard her thoughts. He immediately raised his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. Zuo Yue stumbled into his embrace, her face burning as she was carried into his embrace. Until the few minutes when she sat down and waited for the movie to start, Zuo Yue still had a feeling that she had waited for this movie for too long. That night, he also knew what made him persist in waiting, and he didn¡¯t know what he was obsessed with at that time. However, now that she was sitting next to him with popcorn and coke in her hands, she could see Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome face when she turned her head. Only then did she know what she had always wanted the most. She just wanted to be able to get along with him openly as a couple. She just wanted a love that did not need to be afraid of the gazes of others. But the person she wanted was him. Everything could not be perfect. However, sitting in the dark cinema, no one around them knew them. No one knew if this man was her uncle or her boyfriend. After Zuo Yue took a bite of the popcorn, she rolled her eyes and suddenly turned to look at him. ¡°Do you want to eat?¡± She asked in a muffled voice as she bit into a popcorn of popcorn. Xu Chengfeng turned around and saw that the little girl¡¯s eyes were filled with anxiety, but she was pointing at the popcorn in her mouth with a look of anticipation. He only turned around to look at her and the thing in her mouth. He didn¡¯t say anything or move, but there was a warm smile in his eyes. Zuo Yue immediately raised her finger and pointed at her own mouth.¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled and raised his hand to take the popcorn that she had deliberately placed by her mouth. He threw it into his mouth. Zuo Yue looked at him with disappointment and turned to look at the big screen. Thinking about it, she felt that she might have been too anxious. Perhaps he was just trying to make up for what happened at the cinema and did not want to do what young couples would do with her. Just as she turned around, Xu Chengfeng suddenly whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Do you want to eat?¡± Zuo Yue paused and turned around with a puzzled look.¡±¡±What do you want to eat?¡± However, when she turned her eyes, she saw that Xu Chengfeng did not retreat. Her lips bumped into his chin and she suddenly retreated. Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the back of her head. Zuo Yue only felt her vision suddenly turn black and her lips were covered. It was a very light and warm kiss. There was no hot entanglement, only a warm touch and a gentle kiss. After a moment, he let go of her sweet and confused face. Xu Chengfeng looked at her face that looked like she was still in a dream and gently flicked her forehead with a smile.¡±Idiot.¡± Zuo Yue leaned against the chair weakly. Xu Chengfeng handed her a piece of popcorn, and she opened her mouth to eat it. It was only when Xu Chengfeng smiled gently at the side that she suddenly realized how lost she was. She quickly sat up straight, but she held the bucket of popcorn and looked at the movie on the screen. She did not even remember who the lead actor was¡­ Chapter 1085 - Chapter 1085: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (170) Chapter 1085: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (170) After coming out of the cinema, Zuo Yue seemed to be having a good time. She dragged Xu Chengfeng to the amusement park, arcade, park, and all sorts of places where couples would go. They did all kinds of things that couples would do. In the winter, they ate ice cream, cotton candy, went to catch dolls, and went to the basketball court to watch others play. The two of them sat in the last row of chairs and cheered while secretly eating snacks they bought from the supermarket. Of course, Xu Chengfeng did not eat much. He was really immune to snacks. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, was having a lot of fun today. It could be said that she was about to get carried away. It was not until the competition between the young students on the basketball court ended that many basketball enthusiasts decided to play a few rounds. Zuo Yue encouraged Xu Chengfeng to play basketball as well. Xu Chengfeng glanced in the direction of the basketball court and smiled.¡±¡±I really haven¡¯t played for many years, so I¡¯m not very interested.¡± ¡°Last time, you made John Jr. admire you so much with just one shot. You must have been a great athlete when you were a teenager. I see that there are many people in their twenties and thirties below now. They look about your age. I want to see you play a game of basketball ~¡± Zuo Yue said as she drank the yogurt he bought. Xu Chengfeng looked at her again, then looked back at the people on the basketball court and said softly,¡±¡±You want to see?¡± ¡°Yeah, I used to see boys who played basketball very well in school. I rarely cheered beside them, but I also thought that boys were very handsome when they played basketball.¡±Zuo Yue turned her eyes as she spoke.¡± Besides, you¡¯re so good at fighting. Why don¡¯t you fight?¡± Even if he was almost thirty years old, he was not in his seventies or eighties. If he went to fight now, he would probably get a lot of fangirls in this match.¡± Xu Chengfeng laughed softly,¡±You alone is enough.¡±¡± ¡°I¡¯m not your fangirl¡­¡± Zuo Yue was embarrassed. Xu Chengfeng smiled and got up to leave. Seeing that he was really going to fight a few rounds, Zuo Yue immediately widened her eyes and looked at the man who actually let her do whatever she wanted today and would try his best to satisfy her no matter what she said. Could it be that he felt that he owed her too much? Or was it because he felt sorry for her because she was happy and worried for him every day? So this was compensation? Or perhaps? Was this the first day of their official relationship? Ever since he left the company, Xu Chengfeng had not mentioned anything, but he had always been obedient to her. For the entire afternoon, she felt as if she was in a sweet and romantic relationship. She did almost everything that couples would do¡­ Except¡­ Other than hugging each other to sleep at night, they did almost everything. It was already dark and it was already past eight in the evening. He didn¡¯t know where the two of them would go after leaving the basketball court. Should she go to the office or go home? Or¡­Where to go¡­ Zuo Yue took another sip of her yogurt. Then, she looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had already walked to the basketball court and joined the crowd. A smile appeared on her face. If being in love was such a sweet feeling, if being doted on by the person she liked was such a steady and full feeling, she would rather go against the world and be with the person she liked. Life was short. Once you got what you wanted the most, you had to hold on tightly. When her mother came back, she must find time to have a good talk with her mother about her relationship with her uncle. Zuo Yue made up her mind. After a while, the opening whistle was suddenly heard. She looked over and saw that Xu Chengfeng had already rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned a few buttons on his collar. He was catching the ball in the ring. Watching the young and energetic man receive the ball quickly and accurately, watching the man jump, run, and shoot with waves of cheers, and hearing the onlookers cheering and clapping non-stop, Zuo Yue looked at the man who had changed from his usual rigid and calm to energetic, and her eyes instantly curved into a smile. ¡°Is the man in the white shirt Chinese? Or Chinese? Oh my God, he¡¯s so handsome!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Her figure was great! You¡¯re super good at basketball!¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like a student from around here. He looks like an elite who has already entered society. I really want to get to know him!¡± ¡°He seems to have a girlfriend! Look at the girl in the back row eating snacks. They seem to be a couple. They were sitting together just now and they even kissed!¡± ¡°What a pity, he actually has a girlfriend¡­But he was really handsome! So cool!¡± She could vaguely hear a young girl chattering non-stop on the seat in front of her. Zuo Yue looked in their direction and smiled. Then, she looked up at the field. Xu Chengfeng had just thrown another basket, and the cheers around him became even louder. When Xu Chengfeng turned around and landed on the ground, he suddenly turned around and looked in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. Even though they were separated by a great distance, Zuo Yue could still see a faint smile in his eyes when their eyes met. It was a calm smile, as if he was asking her if she was satisfied. He did not have the slightest intention of showing off. Zuo Yue raised her hand and waved at the other party. Then, she smiled and raised the bottle of mineral water in her hand. She mouthed,¡±¡±Are you tired? Do you want to come back and drink some water?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled and glanced at her. He turned around and played for a while until the intermission. His body was heating up from excessive exercise. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, but it was not to the point of being naked in front of outsiders. However, that was all. When he walked step by step to Zuo Yue, she was still blushing and her heart was beating fast. She felt as if she was about to suffocate. Xu Chengfeng walked back to her and sat beside her. He took the bottle of mineral water and took a sip. Then, he put it aside and asked in a low voice that only she could hear,¡±¡±Where else do you want to go? What else do you want?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. When she thought about what she was thinking about just now, her face blushed suspiciously. Although it wasn¡¯t like they hadn¡¯t done something intimate before, and he had even used his hands¡­ However, when Zuo Yue thought of those things, her face turned hot and she turned her attention to the quiet basketball court. She whispered,¡±¡±I can go anywhere¡­Anything is fine¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng took another sip of water. Because of her words that were completely irrelevant but also a bit of a metaphor, he suddenly put down the mineral water bottle and turned to look at her. Zuo Yue could not avoid it, so she turned to look at him calmly.¡±¡±As long as you¡¯re by my side, we can go anywhere, really.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked into her eyes and suddenly turned his eyes away silently in the direction of the basketball court. He had changed from the gentleness and enthusiasm of the afternoon to a calm and cold one, like Cinderella¡¯s crystal shoes suddenly disappearing at midnight. Chapter 1086 - Chapter 1086: Asking the Moon on the Wind (171) Chapter 1086: Asking the Moon on the Wind (171) Zuo Yue did not say anything when he suddenly fell silent. She sat at the side and looked at him. Her intuition told her that he must have something on his mind. ¡°I¡¯m going to meet a client in the city tomorrow. I should be out early.¡±¡±I¡¯ll send you back to the Zuo family tonight so that your father and grandfather won¡¯t worry,¡± Xu Chengfeng said.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue responded. She knew that he would not really indulge himself to the point where she could do whatever she wanted. However, what she had expected was actually heard. It was inevitable that she felt a little disappointed. ¡°After playing basketball, I¡¯ll accompany you for supper and send you back.¡±Xu Chengfeng took another sip of water and got up to go down. Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and pulled him back.¡± Then, do you want to stay at the Zuo¡¯s for supper tonight before leaving?¡± Let¡¯s go back and eat. Don¡¯t eat outside.¡± Xu Chengfeng was not close to the Zuo family. He only knew them because of Xu Yuan. He was not close to the Xu family, let alone the Zuo family. However, Xu Chengfeng did not reject her directly. He turned back and looked at her expectant eyes, as if he wanted to integrate into her life and get closer to her. He held her hand and smiled.¡±¡±Alright.¡± When Xu Chengfeng went to the basketball court again to play the second half, Zuo Yue looked at the vigorous figure in the court. She felt that when he said the word ¡± okay ¡± just now, he did not seem to think about anything else. He was only looking at her. It was as if he had been looking at her eyes to see if she was really looking forward to it. Everything that happened today was for her sake, for her sake, for her happiness. But why did Zuo Yue still feel empty in her heart, as if there was something she wanted to grasp but could not? She held the water bottle in her hand and looked at the figure in the white shirt on the basketball court. ***** The next day, Zuo Yue went to a gathering in the afternoon. She had forgotten to match the dress she had bought for the gathering with her shoes, so she had to drive out to buy shoes. This round trip caused her to arrive at the gathering hotel more than ten minutes late. However, even if she was late, she didn¡¯t think much of it. This was everyone¡¯s gathering, and she wasn¡¯t the star of the day. At most, she would be punished to drink a few more glasses of wine. Before entering the hotel, Zuo Yue was still looking at her phone worriedly. Last night, after Xu Chengfeng sent her back to the Zuo family, they did have a simple supper at the Zuo family¡¯s house. They even chatted with her grandfather for a long time about business and what they had seen and heard in Russia. The old and the young got along very well. After Xu Chengfeng left, he had not contacted her since last night. He didn¡¯t make any calls. Yesterday afternoon, they were still in a state of passionate love, as if they wanted to give her all the beauty in the world, but why was it suddenly so quiet today? Was it because he had something to do today that he was too busy to call her good morning or tell her to eat lunch? Zuo Yue looked at the quiet phone for a while, until the phone suddenly rang. She was shocked, but the number displayed was not Xu Chengfeng¡¯s number, but Ai Ke¡¯s. ¡°Hey! Zuo Yue, have you fallen yet? We¡¯ve all been here for a long time. You¡¯re the only one left!¡± ¡°I¡¯m at the hotel entrance now!¡± Zuo Yue said as she walked in quickly. Just as Zuo Yue dragged her dress into the hotel¡¯s main entrance, a black extended business car drove over not far away. The window rolled down, revealing Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face. He looked at Zuo Yue, who was dressed up, and then looked at her figure as she hurriedly walked into the hotel¡¯s main entrance. There was a hint of doubt between his brows. At the same time, two British customers who came out of the car beside him were smiling and looking in the direction of his car. Xu Chengfeng got out of the car. The two British clients said that they would be staying at this hotel for the next two days and that they planned to move the cooperation negotiations with the Xu Corporation to this hotel. Xu Chengfeng originally did not have any objections, but because of Zuo Yue¡¯s figure just now¡­ He asked his assistant to send them to the hotel first. At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a message to Zuo Yue. [Where are you gathering?] Zuo Yue, who had just entered the hotel, heard the sound of a text message on her phone. She looked down and saw the message notification. When she saw that it was a message from Xu Chengfeng, she immediately picked it up and looked at it. Then, she replied with a smile on her face,[Are you done? I¡¯m having a party at the Rolls Royce Hotel. It¡¯s called a party, but it¡¯s actually a banquet. I don¡¯t know when it¡¯ll end.] Xu Chengfeng looked at the words ¡®Rolls Royce Hotel¡¯ in front of him. He immediately raised his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Was this girl really his nemesis in this lifetime? Seeing that he didn¡¯t reply, Zuo Yue held her phone and asked in confusion,[Are you done?] Xu Chengfeng walked into the hotel, but because the other party¡¯s banquet was separated by an aisle from the negotiation venue here, they could not see each other. After taking a look, he replied directly,[No, have fun. Don¡¯t drink.]] Initially, Zuo Yue thought that he would come to accompany her and give her a surprise. When she saw that he said that he was not done with his work, she sighed and replied with a [Mm] before she did not continue to disturb him. However, the matter of not drinking¡­ She looked at the red wine and champagne towers all over the place. She was afraid that she would not be able to listen to him tonight. Zuo Yue had just put her phone back into her handbag and was about to turn around to walk in. Suddenly, a familiar-looking man walked in front of her. Zuo Yue looked at the man and before she could react, Lian Keying suddenly walked out from the washroom at the side. After she came out, she held the man¡¯s arm with a passionate expression and said something. This was Zuo Yue¡¯s fianc¨¦ whom she had met at the clothing store previously. Previously, it seemed that there would not be any future between the two of them. Now, she did not know what had happened between the two of them. Not only did this man allow Lian Keying to accompany her to the class reunion, but he even hugged her shoulders and whispered into her ear when Lian Keying leaned into his arms affectionately. They looked extremely intimate. This was not something that Zuo Yue should have paid attention to. However, Lian Keying was whispering to her fianc¨¦ while looking in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. Her eyes were filled with pride and provocation. After she finished speaking, she walked towards Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was wearing a simple blue dress. It was not particularly flashy or exaggerated, nor was it plain and suffocating. It was very suitable for her age and young temperament. She looked lively and simple, but also revealed a nobility that even Ke Ying could not compare to. ¡°Why did you come alone?¡± Lian Keying said with a taunting look. Didn¡¯t we agree last time? Everyone brought their boyfriends over today. Where¡¯s your boyfriend from last time? Did you really break up?¡± ¡°Who told you that?¡± Zuo Yue gave her a cold glance with a faint smile. Chapter 1087 - Chapter 1087: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (172) Chapter 1087: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (172) ¡°Indeed, there¡¯s nothing to say. You just don¡¯t dare to agree.¡±Lian Keying smiled as she turned to look at her fianc¨¦ beside her. Then, she leaned on the man¡¯s shoulder with a blissful expression.¡±My fianc¨¦ remembers you. Oh right, he still remembers the man beside you last time¡­¡± As Lian Keying spoke, she suddenly looked behind Zuo Yue. Seeing that the man did not come with her, she said even more arrogantly,¡±¡±I heard that he¡¯s the president of the Jr. Group. Zuo Yue, is your Zuo family actually related to the Jr. Group in Russia? You even managed to hook up with the president of the KP Group. Are you trying to get married? Are your parents planning to sell her? The two of you don¡¯t have any real feelings for each other, right? Otherwise, why didn¡¯t he even bother to accompany you to a class reunion?¡± Zuo Yue looked coldly at Lian Keying¡¯s guessing and smug expression. She curled her lips and said,¡±¡±If you have the time to speculate about other people, you might as well control your man. If he already has some woman outside and only has to be threatened by you for some reason to accompany you to the class reunion, then it will really be a joke.¡± The expression on Lian Keying¡¯s face instantly froze. Zuo Yue had already walked past them. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s indifferent expression as she walked away, Lian Keying gritted her teeth and glared at the man beside her with hatred. She questioned him in a voice that only he could hear,¡±¡±You really have a woman outside?¡± The man looked at her strangely and asked in English,¡±¡±What do you mean?¡± It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t understand Chinese, but now he looked like he didn¡¯t understand. Lian Keying was so angry that she reached out and hit him hard on the arm.¡±Bastard! I¡¯ve even embarrassed myself in front of my classmates! Can¡¯t you hide from others when you¡¯re secretly eating outside? Did he have to let others see it? Where am I supposed to put my face?¡± The man turned around indifferently and looked inside.¡±I¡¯ve already accompanied you here, yet you still ask for so much? If it wasn¡¯t for that incident with you, do you think I would have the patience to accompany you to such a boring gathering? Are you going in? If you don¡¯t go in, I¡¯ll leave.¡± ¡°You!¡± Lian Keying was furious, but she couldn¡¯t say anything. She could only grit her teeth and roll her eyes at him, turning him around forcefully.¡±Don¡¯t leave! I even arranged a good show for her today! How could he let her off so easily!¡± The man looked impatient, but he held it in. He shook her hand off and walked in without saying a word. Lian Keying quickly caught up with him. Even though the man was impatient, she held his arm before he walked into the crowd. When they entered the group chat, she leaned against him affectionately and smiled happily in front of everyone. There was another wave of envious gazes and compliments around her. Lian Keying smiled and greeted her while quickly looking for Zuo Yue. Until he saw Zuo Yue chatting with Ai Ke in a low voice beside him. The two young girls who were also wearing simple dresses but looked especially noble were still eye-catching at the end of the crowd. Ai Ke¡¯s boyfriend walked over and hugged Ai Ke¡¯s waist, saying something softly. Then, Ai Ke waved at Zuo Yue with an embarrassed look, indicating that she would leave first. Zuo Yue smiled and waved at Ai Ke understandingly. Zuo Yue was alone there. She did not seem to have eaten much before she came. When no one was paying attention, she picked up a small plate of cake on the table and took two bites. As she ate, she looked at the other food on the table. It was as if her purpose for coming to the party tonight was not to show off her boyfriend or to show off how good she was doing. It was just to have a meal. Lian Keying suddenly turned to look at the champagne tower not far behind Zuo Yue and suddenly smiled. She turned to the man beside her and said,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say that you would help me today? How¡¯s the arrangement I asked you to make with the hotel staff?¡± The man was still very disgusted by her words. Although he was impatient, he still said in a low voice,¡±It¡¯s already been arranged. Don¡¯t forget what you said. As long as I help you arrange everything today, you¡¯ll agree to the annulment of the engagement and won¡¯t use the excuse of fake pregnancy to cause trouble at our house.¡± Lian Keying glanced at him and said,¡±Can we not talk about this now?¡±¡± ¡°If you want to go back on your word, I can get the staff to remove the wine that has been added. You won¡¯t be able to harm others, and you won¡¯t be satisfied.¡±The man took the red wine that someone handed him and said indifferently. Lian Keying was angry, but she had no choice but to be threatened by him. Her fianc¨¦ could not be saved in the first place, and the person who caused all this was Zuo Yue! If it wasn¡¯t for the many misunderstandings caused by Shang Yiyi at the clothing store, how could her love path, which had just started, come to an abrupt end? Since Zuo Yue did not let her have her way, she would not let Zuo Yue have it easy! Tonight, she must make Zuo Yue lose all her reputation! Only then would she be able to take revenge for being abandoned by her fianc¨¦! ***** This dinner party was called a class reunion. Because most of the people were from the upper class, regardless of gender, they all had some family background and reputation. In the evening, they even invited a few famous American singers to help out. It was very lively. However, not everyone was in a relationship now. There were also many single people. Zuo Yue simply mingled with those single students and chatted and laughed with them. She ignored Lian Keying¡¯s frequent glances at her. Zuo Yue went to the washroom halfway. When she came out of the washroom, she suddenly saw two people coming out of the VIP elevator near the lobby. Those two people seemed to be an assistant and an intern secretary who often followed Xu Chengfeng around in the Xu Corporation. Why were they here? Zuo Yue looked at them in confusion. When the two of them walked out for a few minutes and came back, Zuo Yue walked over to greet them before they were about to return to the elevator. ¡°Miss Zuo?¡± The two men recognized her and were equally surprised.¡±Why are you here?¡± ¡°I was going to ask you guys. Today¡­ I mean, doesn¡¯t my uncle have a client from England to meet? Why didn¡¯t you go together? Why are you here?¡± ¡°President Xu is meeting clients here.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze froze. She immediately glanced at the elevator behind them and then looked at the contract documents and letters in their hands. After looking at them for a while, she said softly,¡±¡±I understand. You guys go ahead.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, you look very beautiful today.¡± ¡°Thank you. I¡¯m just here to attend a class reunion.¡±Zuo Yue exchanged a few more pleasantries before she turned around and left. When she left, she noticed from the corner of her eye that they had taken the VIP elevator upstairs. Seeing that the elevator had stopped on the eighth floor for a while, she guessed that Xu Chengfeng was now on the eighth floor of this hotel. She looked at the time and opened the text messages she had sent to him. It was obvious that he already knew that she was attending the party here. In the end, the letter was only upstairs and he did not tell her. Chapter 1088 - Chapter 1088: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (173) Chapter 1088: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (173) So what if he told her? It was not like she would drag him down to be her boyfriend to put on a show. She was really disappointed. What should she do? Zuo Yue walked back to the banquet hall with a heavy heart. In the end, she bumped into Lian Keying who was walking out. She was very annoyed when she saw Lian Keying tonight. She could not stand the fact that Lian Keying was always looking for trouble with her. When she was young, she always indulged and tolerated her. That was because her temper was too soft, which resulted in people like Lian Keying who always wanted to provoke her since she was young. Zuo Yue went around her and left, but Lian Keying snorted beside her and said,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I reckon that after this gathering, we won¡¯t have the chance to meet again in a short period of time.¡± Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks and turned around to glance at her. She said coldly,¡±¡±Isn¡¯t that great?¡± Lian Keying immediately snorted and laughed.¡± That¡¯s right. I want to target you everywhere I see you, and you avoid me as much as you can when you see me. Think about it, we¡¯re already so old. In a few years, we won¡¯t be students anymore. Those grudges from when we were young and those grudges that happened a while ago, it¡¯s better to let it go as soon as possible.¡± Zuo Yue laughed coldly and ignored her. She turned around and was about to leave. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m serious.¡± Lian Keying turned to look at her. ¡°Whatever. If you want to cancel it, then cancel it. Anyway, as long as you don¡¯t bother me, I basically won¡¯t look for trouble.¡±Zuo Yue replied coldly. ¡°Then do you want to have a few drinks and chat?¡±Lian Keying asked again. Zuo Yue acted as if she did not hear what she continued to say. She had already walked far away and did not even turn her head back. However, she did notice that Lian Keying wanted to have a few drinks with her. If it was someone else who suddenly wanted to drink a few glasses of wine with her for no reason, it would be fine, but if the other party was Lian Keying, Zuo Yue had to be a little wary. Moreover, Xu Chengfeng had previously instructed her not to drink. Now that everyone was not paying full attention to her, she was only here to go through the motions and would leave in a while. It was better not to drink. Otherwise, if Xu Chengfeng took the time to ¡± inspect ¡± her later and found that she reeked of alcohol, he would probably be in trouble again. He had finally changed his attitude towards her so much in the past few days. She had to be obedient and not provoke him again. Zuo Yue thought of this and walked inside. Because she had the best relationship with Ai Ke, Ai Ke did not always stand together with her boyfriend like Siamese twins. They would always go separate ways to chat. That was why Zuo Yue had the opportunity to gather together with Ai Ke and a few of her good friends to discuss their own matters. Apart from Lian Keying, who would occasionally appear to disgust everyone, there was nothing else that made them unhappy. They were neither excited nor disappointed. In short, everyone was either showing off their love, feeling free to be single, or following the singers on stage to enjoy themselves. Zuo Yue was even pushed onto the stage and forced to sing two English songs with the two singers. After she finished singing, she left the stage amidst the cheers of the crowd. She took the fruit juice that Ai Ke and the others handed her and drank a few mouthfuls. Some of the desserts on the table that night were too sweet, and some were slightly salty. Zuo Yue was always thirsty after singing the song. After drinking a glass of fruit juice, she felt that it was not enough to quench her thirst. Just as she was about to look for other water to drink, a staff member walked over from the side. There were two glasses of orange juice on the tray in his hand. He happened to walk in front of her. Zuo Yue reached out and took one of the glasses. Then, she smiled gratefully at the staff member who suddenly looked at her and drank the fruit juice. After the staff member looked at her again, he suddenly turned around and left without saying a word. However, his footsteps seemed to be in a hurry, as if he was afraid that she would remember his appearance. Zuo Yue looked at the staff member¡¯s figure strangely. After looking at her for a while, she didn¡¯t feel anything. She turned around and continued to chat with her former best friends. More than an hour later, Zuo Yue felt inexplicably thirsty. However, after drinking so much fruit juice, she felt that it was too sweet. She really did not want to drink anymore. She just wanted to find an opportunity to leave first. Anyway, it was almost time for the gathering. She was in the corner, picking up grapes and putting them into her mouth to relieve the thirst. A few of her good friends had already come over with champagne.¡±Zuo Yue, Ke Ying said that she still has something to do tonight and will be leaving with her fianc¨¦. After this gathering, we don¡¯t know when we will be able to see each other again. Let¡¯s have a drink together.¡± Zuo Yue glanced at Lian Keying, who was also walking over with a champagne glass in her hand. She did not say anything, but raised her eyebrows, meaning that she would do anything. Seeing that everyone was holding champagne in their hands, she hadn¡¯t had any alcohol tonight, but now everyone wanted to drink this glass. Moreover, it was indeed not a problem if it was just one glass of champagne. While she was hesitating, a staff member came over with a few glasses of champagne on a golden tray and walked to her side. It was obvious that she had to drink a glass of champagne even if she didn¡¯t want to. ¡°Alright.¡± She chuckled and picked up a champagne glass. She turned around and saw Lian Keying smiling as she finished the wine in the glass. Seeing that the others were also slowly drinking, she lowered her head to look at the champagne glass in her hand. She put it to her mouth and smelled it. She felt that there was no problem and drank it directly. Watching Zuo Yue drink all the food she should eat and drink with a few seasonings, Lian Keying quietly raised her eyebrows. She turned around and gave her fianc¨¦ standing behind her a smug look. The man, however, did not have much patience and turned around to look elsewhere. Lian Keying didn¡¯t care so much now, as long as she could answer her objective. .. Ten minutes later, Lian Keying left with her fianc¨¦. As they walked, she whispered,¡±¡±Have you arranged everything? When she came out later, there would be a few men who would take her away and then record the entire process, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± the man said. ¡°That¡¯s good. We can watch a good show tonight!¡±Lian Keying smiled as she dragged her fianc¨¦ out quickly.¡±Let¡¯s go and wait for tomorrow morning¡¯s news! The news of the Zuo Corporation¡¯s Sun Zuoyue playing group p with a man, haha ~¡± On the other side, Zuo Yue felt that she was becoming more and more abnormal. From the initial thirst to the inexplicable heat in her body, she could barely stand still now. Vaguely recalling the things she had eaten and drunk, she felt that it was impossible for her to be drugged in such an occasion. However, when she thought of Lian Keying¡¯s gaze, she suddenly frowned and hurriedly staggered out before anyone noticed her abnormality. Chapter 1089 - Chapter 1089: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (174) Chapter 1089: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (174) Her vision blurred as she escaped from the crowd step by step. However, she only felt an inexplicable danger outside the hotel. Previously, Lian Keying had been forcing him to drink. Was there something wrong with that cup of wine or something else? She couldn¡¯t think deeply about it now. She could only raise her hand to support herself against the wall. Her mind was in a mess. When she was near the elevator, she suddenly turned to look in the direction of the VIP elevator. Eighth floor! She wanted to go to the eighth floor! If the effects of the drug became more and more serious and she lost her mind, there was only one person here who could control her and not let her run out and do anything irrational! Zuo Yue quickly walked over, but just as she reached the elevator door, she kept pressing the button in front of the door. A hotel staff walked over and said with concern,¡±Miss, what¡¯s the matter? You don¡¯t look well.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue managed to remain calm, but her voice was trembling.¡±¡±I want to go upstairs. I want to go to the eighth floor.¡± ¡°Miss, I¡¯m sorry. This elevator can only be used by guests who live in the VIP suite and presidential suite on the eighth floor. You can¡¯t go there without a VIP card on the eighth floor.¡± Zuo Yue was furious. She rummaged through her bag and took out her card.¡±Get me a suite on the eighth floor! Hurry!¡± The staff member was stunned for a moment. Seeing that she really seemed to be feeling unwell, he said,¡±Miss, do you want me to call a doctor for you first? You look like you need to go to the hospital. Your complexion¡­¡± Calling the doctor was of course one way, but her body was burning hot and uncomfortable. She was afraid that she would make a fool of herself in front of outsiders. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and leaned against the wall weakly.¡±Do it immediately! I want to go to the eighth floor!¡± Seeing her stubbornness, the staff member took another look at her dress and confirmed that she was someone who had come to the hotel to attend the party tonight. Then, he looked at the card in her hand and turned around to swipe it. He realized that the owner of the card was Mr. Xu, who was staying in the presidential suite on the eighth floor. Only then did he confirm that there should be no problem with her identity. He helped her swipe the card to complete the procedures for the VIP suite on the eighth floor, then walked over and opened the elevator for her. The moment the elevator door opened, Zuo Yue took the two cards handed over by the staff and turned around to rush in. The moment the door closed, she leaned against the wall and barely held on to her strength. She reached out and hammered her trembling legs. Hold on! Hold on! There seemed to be a blush in front of her eyes that blocked her vision. The whole world was shaking. The elevator did not stop or block any floors. It reached the eighth floor in an instant, but Zuo Yue almost did not have the strength to walk out. She took a long time to walk out of the door. As soon as she went out, she saw a few blond men and women walking past the elevator. It sounded like they were discussing some cooperation projects with the Xu Corporation. From this, she was even more certain that Xu Chengfeng was indeed here. Zuo Yue turned around and looked around at the rooms in the corridor. She did not know which room Xu Chengfeng was in. Since it was a presidential suite¡­ Zuo Yue held the room card tightly in her hand and leaned against the wall as she walked towards the row of rooms on the left. When she stepped onto the small stairs that were two stories high, she almost fell down. She staggered and steadied her body. Suddenly, the door beside her opened behind her. Zuo Yue¡¯s movements paused and she instinctively looked back. When she saw that it was the secretary beside Xu Chengfeng, and the tablet and document folder in the secretary¡¯s hands, Zuo Yue quickly asked as if she had seen her savior,¡±¡±Which room is my uncle in?¡± The secretary looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s condition. Her cheeks were red and white at times, and she seemed to be trembling all over. She asked worriedly,¡±Miss Zuo, what happened to you? Did he drink too much? Are you allergic to alcohol? Zuo Yue shook her head.¡± I¡¯m fine. Where is he?¡±¡± The secretary was stunned for a moment, then raised her finger and pointed in the most secluded direction at the innermost corner.¡± Boss Xu is over there at night and there¡¯s a meeting between those clients in England. The hotel will be held on the second floor. He should still be changing his clothes at the moment.¡±¡± ¡°Thanks!¡± Zuo Yue nodded gratefully. She turned around and walked in that direction as fast as she could with one hand on the wall. The secretary saw Zuo Yue¡¯s unsteady footsteps from behind and asked worriedly,¡±¡±Miss Xu, do you really not need to call the doctor?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue replied reluctantly. She walked quickly to the corner and turned around to look at the huge European-style white door in front of her. She felt that her body was approaching its limit. She raised her hand, but she did not have the strength to reach too high to touch the door collar. She could only pat the door twice. There was no movement inside. Zuo Yue leaned against the door weakly. She gently patted the door as her body gradually slid down. Please be here¡­Please don¡¯t make any difference¡­ She could no longer hold on¡­ Zuo Yue knocked on the door mechanically. She closed her eyes and felt the dark world turn red. The inexplicable desire in her body stimulated her brain. The heat and emptiness were too scary. It was so scary that she felt that she could grab a man and fill all her emptiness. ¡°Uncle¡­Open the door¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was so hoarse that even she could not hear it clearly.¡±¡±Open the door¡­¡± Then, he continued to hit the number of the lower hand, and Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes darkened. The entire person slid down completely. Just as she was about to sit on the ground, the door that she was leaning against suddenly opened from the inside out. Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body directly fell into the weightless room. Xu Chengfeng opened the door and before he could see the figure in front of him, he was suddenly assailed by a familiar scent. Instinctively, he caught the person who had fallen in. He looked down and saw that the person who had suddenly crashed into his arms was Zuo Yue, who should be attending the class reunion on the first floor. ¡°Zuo Yue?¡± Xu Chengfeng felt the abnormal heat on her body and his expression darkened as he held her steady. He looked at her perfectly undamaged gown and then looked outside. Seeing that no one had followed her over, he immediately helped her up and looked at her face.¡±What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zuo Yue almost could not recognize who the person beside her was. Her vision was too blurry, but when she heard the voice, she could still barely recognize it. Her entire heart instantly relaxed, and she weakly allowed him to support her. However, she was still in a position where she was almost hanging on his body. She said in a very, very soft and hoarse voice,¡±I don¡¯t know¡­Uncomfortable (Uncomfortable) Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart trembled when he heard her soft voice. He felt that her skin was getting hotter and hotter, and a bad premonition instantly struck him. Xu Chengfeng helped Zuo Yue from the corridor in front of the door and closed the door. He bent down and picked her up by the waist as he asked in a low voice,¡±¡±Did you drink something unclean?¡± Chapter 1090 - Chapter 1090: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (175) Chapter 1090: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (175) Xu Chengfeng helped Zuo Yue from the corridor in front of the door and closed the door. He bent down and picked her up by the waist as he asked in a low voice,¡±¡±Did you drink something unclean?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Zuo Yue shook her head gently. She buried her face in his neck and breathed in his masculine scent greedily.¡±I¡¯m so hot¡­Uncle¡­Help me¡­ It¡¯s so hot¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng carried Zuo Yue to the bedside. Seeing that Zuo Yue¡¯s face was getting redder and redder, he turned around and washed the towel with cold water. The moment he walked to the bed again and reached out to touch her body, he was shocked by the heat and the feeling of being drenched in sweat. Xu Chengfeng reached into her gown and frowned.¡±¡±You¡¯re sweating too much. I¡¯ll send you directly to the hospital.¡± After he wiped her face and hands, he was about to pick her up again. However, Zuo Yue tried her best to get closer to him when he bent down to hug her. At the same time, she raised her head and kissed his chin randomly. Xu Chengfeng was shocked and was about to retreat when Zuo Yue tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and said in pain,¡±¡±I can¡¯t take it anymore! Help me¡­ Don¡¯t go to the hospital¡­ I feel so uncomfortable¡­I can¡¯t take it anymore¡­ Please¡­ Help me¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, life is not like a movie. You have to go to the hospital after eating something problematic. It¡¯s not like any simple method can help you.¡±Xu Chengfeng remained calm and wrapped his coat around her sweaty body.¡±¡±Let¡¯s go to the hospital first!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Zuo Yue hugged his neck tightly and buried her face in his neck. The hot breath that she breathed out tickled his nerves.¡±Don¡¯t go¡­Uncle¡­Don¡¯t go¡­ Help me¡­ Quickly help me¡­¡± She reached out to grab his hand and pulled it directly to her chest. She looked at his tensed side profile with pleading and helplessness in her eyes.¡±Help me¡­Please¡­¡± The veins on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed.¡± Zuo Yue, I¡¯m a normal man. I can¡¯t always be rational. You have to know what you¡¯re doing.¡±¡± ¡°I know! But I feel so uncomfortable! I¡¯m in so much pain¡­ Please¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s other hand also reached down from his neck, directly to the front of his shirt collar, and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt.¡±¡±Hot¡­¡± As Zuo Yue cried out that she was hot, her soft whining voice and actions would have been impossible for any man to remain rational. All the blood in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body rushed to the top of his head in an instant, and the veins on his forehead were about to pop out. He suppressed the desire that he had aroused in an instant and moved his hand away from her chest. He turned around and was about to call the doctor. However, just as he turned around, Zuo Yue suddenly flipped over and got off the bed. She fell hard on the ground. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng turned his eyes and quickly bent over to pick her up again. However, Zuo Yue was deliberately rubbing herself in his arms. The dress she was wearing was messy, and the tulle wrapped around her legs, challenging his self-control. He knew that he could not touch her now, but Zuo Yue suddenly acted like a hooligan. She was no longer as nervous as she usually was and paid special attention to his emotions. She only pestered him and hugged him without letting go. When she suddenly raised her head and licked his Adam¡¯s apple, Xu Chengfeng threw her fiercely onto the bed. ¡°I warned you not to drink! Now that you¡¯ve been inexplicably drugged, do you want me to be the antidote for you?¡±A storm brewed in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes like a black cloud pressing down on a city. He was furious, but only he knew what he was angry about. He was angry that he was about to abandon her and leave. He was angry that in order to give her a beautiful memory these past few days, he had completely sunk into it. She was furious that her self-control, which she had always been proud of, was about to collapse. She was furious that she had suddenly eaten something unclean at a time like this! Zuo Yue was thrown onto the bed, but it was as if she did not hear what he said. She only followed her instincts and sat up abruptly. She pulled off the gown that was already on the verge of collapsing on her body. Her fair and naked body was exposed to the slightly cold air. It was beautiful and seductive, causing Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brain to freeze instantly. Zuo Yue used all her strength to pounce on him, hug his head, and forcefully kiss his mouth, which was about to open its mouth to scold her. She even followed her instinct to rub against his chest through his shirt material as if she had lost her rationality. Xu Chengfeng grabbed her waist and wanted to push her away, but Zuo Yue refused to let go no matter what. He raised his hand and was about to use force when he instantly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. However, Zuo Yue took advantage of the loophole and grabbed his neck before he could resist and pulled him down. However, he avoided her and became more and more entangled until Xu Chengfeng was forced to fall down. Zuo Yue was under him, hugging him and falling on the bed. The moment Xu Chengfeng lost his weight and pressed her down, she raised her hand and pulled hard on his back. She panted heavily and begged,¡±Quickly help me¡­I¡¯m going to die¡­ Please¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng bit his tongue as his rationality was about to collapse. He barely managed to wake up and was about to get up from her body when Zuo Yue grabbed his collar and did not let go. She kissed his neck and cried as she kissed him in a panic,¡±Why don¡¯t you want me¡­Why don¡¯t you want me¡­Xu Chengfeng, do you love me or not¡­Aren¡¯t we supposed to be together? Aren¡¯t you already going to be with me¡­ Want me¡­Please¡­ Help me¡­ Want me, please¡­Hurry up and take me¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was furious. He raised his hand and was about to slap her face to wake her up. However, the moment he raised his hand, Zuo Yue had already forcefully pulled open his shirt. A few buttons fell off the bed as if they were unbuttoned. The clinking sound was like a fatal killer who had snapped the last string of rationality. Zuo Yue pestered him to kiss his lips. Her warm and soft body carried a unique seductive young lady fragrance. The faint sweet taste of champagne and cake on his lips kept coming out of his mouth. Xu Chengfeng suddenly felt that he was floating and could not move forward or backward. However, his rationality was crumbling bit by bit. To love her with his own body- Chapter 1091 - Chapter 1091: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (176) Chapter 1091: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (176) Xu Chengfeng took a deep breath, and a strong electric current ran through his body. He suddenly pulled her hand away and said with a dark face,¡±¡±Have you gone crazy enough!¡± Zuo Yue had long lost her rationality. She stubbornly wanted to shake off his hand and touch it again. Xu Chengfeng directly held her hands firmly and did not let her succeed. She took advantage of the moment when he temporarily controlled his hand and suddenly leaned close to his ear to kiss randomly, provoking his last limit. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body was already as tense as a bow, as if it would break if he was not careful. ¡°Help me¡­Please¡­¡± Zuo Yue grabbed his hand, which was about to push her away, and pressed his hand forcefully against hers. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and exacting demands, but her voice was clear and hoarse with an infinite seduction.¡±Uncle¡­¡± ¡°You can actually call me uncle?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s anger had almost reached its peak because he felt that he was about to completely lose control. Zuo Yue looked at his angry face with tears in her eyes. In the end, she simply dragged him under her body¡­ Xu Chengfeng suddenly closed his eyes and flung her away mercilessly. He turned around and left, ignoring her confused look. Zuo Yue quickly got up from the bed and knelt on the bed in discomfort and confusion. She was almost empty. If it wasn¡¯t because of the drug, she would never be so shameless. However, she couldn¡¯t control herself now. She saw that he had no intention of helping her at all. She saw that he was about to pick up his coat and walk over to wrap her up and bring her out. The moment Xu Chengfeng walked over with his coat, Zuo Yue raised her hand and swung the coat in his hand. She pounced fiercely into his arms and accurately found his tightly shut lips because of his seriousness. She used all her strength to kiss him, trying to open his mouth. Xu Chengfeng did not move. His coat had already fallen to the ground. He stood by the bed and let her fall into his arms, letting her hug him tightly. He let her lean into his arms and rub against him, wanting to get closer to him. He let her tangle with him like a wild beast until Zuo Yue almost lost all her strength and gradually could not hold him anymore. She loosened her grip on his neck slightly and her body slid down in his arms. Her voice was soft and husky as she pleaded,¡±I¡¯m going to die¡­It was really hot¡­It¡¯s hot everywhere¡­¡± When Zuo Yue was about to completely fall into his arms, Xu Chengfeng suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up into his arms again. He lowered his eyes to look at the girl¡¯s flushed cheeks and her misty eyes. He asked in a seemingly calm voice,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, who am I?¡± ¡°Uncle¡­You¡¯re my uncle¡­You are Xu Chengfeng.¡± ¡°If you met another man now, would you also ask for help like this?¡±Xu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes coldly. Zuo Yue shook her head forcefully and leaned greedily into his embrace, breathing in the scent of his body and feeling the warmth of his body. Although she was about to lose consciousness, she still held on to her last bit of consciousness and rationality and said,¡±¡±No, no, no. If it wasn¡¯t for you. I¡¯d rather run into a car in the middle of the road¡­ I¡¯d rather go to the nearby Echo Park and jump into the river in the park¡­¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you¡­ I would rather die¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s voice came intermittently. Xu Chengfeng suddenly held the back of her head and lifted her up from his embrace. He fiercely sealed her lips that were red from the drug. Zuo Yue did not move and let him kiss her. At the same time, she let out a comfortable moan. He suddenly grabbed her waist. The sparks in his eyes burned on her body. He saw the tears at the corner of her eyes, but her words kept echoing in his ears. He suddenly hated her for being so forward in love. He hated her for being too full of herself. He hated her for being so passionate and willing to be with him even if it meant losing the world! Zuo Yue took the opportunity when he let go of her to press down on her and stare at her, as if she wanted to deeply imprint herself in her mind. Xu Chengfeng suddenly cursed in a low voice. Before Zuo Yue could hear him clearly, he grabbed her chin and lowered his head to kiss her fiercely again as if he had lost control. Chaos! Everything was in chaos! His breathing was chaotic! The world was in chaos! Zuo Yue had never known that her grand love was almost driving a man who had always been rational as a god crazy. She did not know that this man¡¯s world was almost completely overturned by her. She only knew that he was kissing her forcefully and that he was stripping off his clothes piece by piece. Xu Chengfeng looked at her dazed eyes and seemed to be enjoying it. He couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and pressed himself against her. Looking at her expression that was completely controlled by the drug, he didn¡¯t know whether to love or hate her until Zuo Yue grabbed his shoulders tightly and said in a hoarse but blissful voice,¡±Love me well¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He looked down at the girl under him and suddenly felt that he was really crazy! Chapter 1092 - Chapter 1092: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (177) Chapter 1092: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (177) He had actually gotten to this point with his niece! He could actually throw away all the restraints of ethics and love Zuo Yue as if she was a woman. He could even do these things that they had desired for a long time! However, that layer of obstruction was like a sudden stick that smashed into his head, knocking on his rationality. Xu Chengfeng stopped moving and watched Zuo Yue close her eyes nervously as she endured the sharp pain that was about to come. However, her hands still refused to let go of his shoulders. Xu Chengfeng suddenly frowned and closed his eyes, not looking at her flirtatious expression. Zuo Yue immediately opened her eyes and looked at him blankly. This was clearly not how it was portrayed in the movies she had seen. ¡°Uncle¡­¡± Zuo Yue stared at him blankly,¡±You¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng had already moved away from her body. At the same time, he picked up his clothes and put them on by the bed. Even though the veins on his forehead were bulging because of his abnormal human restraint, even though he was a little anxious when he put on his clothes, he almost could not control his rationality that was about to leave again. Zuo Yue called out to him softly,¡±Xu Chengfeng¡­¡± He stood with his back to her, his voice hoarse but a little cold.¡±I know that today is too late, but I still push you away. You will hate me and blame me, but if everything is so uncontrollable, after tomorrow, you will only hate me more, and even more painful.¡±¡± Zuo Yue did not understand. She stared blankly at his back.¡±Why?¡± She slowly sat up and knelt on the bed, reaching out to grab him. Xu Chengfeng did not avoid her, and she successfully hugged his waist tightly behind him. She pressed her face against his strong back and sobbed,¡±¡±Don¡¯t push me away anymore¡­Why do you always push me away again and again¡­I really love you¡­I¡¯m not a child¡­ I can bear it, I can do anything¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Zuo Yue started to linger on his back and kiss him. He wanted to push him back again and again. He suddenly turned around and picked her up from the bed. Zuo Yue leaned into his arms in an instant. She did not notice where he was taking her. She only instinctively hugged his neck and kissed him deeply. Xu Chengfeng did not respond to her. He kept his lips closed and did not let her kiss him. He carried her to the bathroom door and kicked it open violently. He carried Zuo Yue directly into the bathroom and threw her into the empty bathtub when she vaguely felt that something was wrong. The bathtub was cold and hard. Zuo Yue fell in the bathtub until her entire body hurt. After a few groans of pain, she suddenly screamed because of the cold water that came head-on.¡±Ah!¡± Xu Chengfeng turned the shower head to the maximum without any mercy and used the cold water to rush towards her head and body. Zuo Yue did not have the strength to resist. She curled up helplessly in the bathtub and instinctively raised her hands to cover her face and ears, but she could not care about everything. She choked and coughed uncomfortably, but Xu Chengfeng continued to use the cold water to wash her body as if he did not see it. All the heat in her body dropped to freezing point in an instant. Zuo Yue struggled in the bathtub for a while and felt that the bathtub was filled with cold water. She was soaked in a pool of cold water and kept trembling. Xu Chengfeng then turned off the shower head. At the same time, he looked coldly at Zuo Yue, who was curled up in the water with her arms around her shoulders and trembling non-stop.¡±Is it still hot? If it¡¯s still hot, I¡¯ll get someone to bring some ice over!¡± Zuo Yue opened her eyes after half a day. She looked at him in pain and confusion. Even though the heat on her body had subsided, she still could not maintain her rationality. She just looked at him and her voice was full of helplessness and questioning.¡±Why¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked down at the accusation in her eyes and slowly leaned down. He placed his hands on both sides of the bathtub and looked into her confused and misty eyes.¡± Zuo Yue, one day you will grow up. Perhaps when you grow up, you will understand that my every concession is my protection and consistent love for you.¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t understand. It was as if she didn¡¯t even hear the word ¡®love¡¯ from his mouth. She just looked at his face and said in a daze,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you want me?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled bitterly. He looked down at the part of his pants that had not disappeared yet. He did not explain. He just suddenly held her face and leaned down to kiss her warmth. It was very gentle, but it also seemed to be a kind of longing that could not be separated. Xu Chengfeng carried Zuo Yue out when she fainted from the cold and hot water. He pulled off the towel beside her and wrapped it around her. He carried her back to the messy conversation that had been caused by the two of them. He raised his hand to check the temperature of her body again and turned to make a call. When he came back, Zuo Yue pushed the towel away again because of the drug and lay naked on the bed. Her entire body was covered with the marks of his previous abuse, and it was even suffused with a seductive rose red. Xu Chengfeng covered her with the blanket, turned around, and rushed into the bathroom. He used the same cruel and merciless way he used to shower Zuo Yue with cold water to torture himself. It was not until his phone rang outside that he put on his bathrobe and walked out. He picked up the phone and confirmed that the doctor had arrived. After changing his clothes, he personally went out to bring the doctor into the room. ***** Zuo Yue felt as if she had a very, very long dream. In the dream, she and Xu Chengfeng had been through the rain for the entire night. In the dream, she was exhausted and fell into his arms. When she woke up, she felt sore all over. She had a feeling that something might have happened between her and Xu Chengfeng. However, she had gotten a new set of pajamas from somewhere and was wearing them neatly. There was no one in the room, and the bed was so cold that it was as if no one else had slept in it. Zuo Yue stared blankly at the ceiling of the hotel room. She recognized that it was the presidential suite from last night. She sat up abruptly and looked around. As expected, Xu Chengfeng was nowhere to be seen. ¡± Hiss-¡± Just as she was about to lift the blanket, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm. She looked down and saw a red needle mark on her arm. Did someone give her a sedative last night? She glanced at the time on her phone. It was almost noon, but where was Xu Chengfeng? Zuo Yue pushed the blanket away and got out of bed. The drug seemed to have worn off. Other than feeling a little weak, she was not much different from usual. She called Xu Chengfeng, but his phone was turned off! Chapter 1093 - Chapter 1093: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (178) Chapter 1093: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (178) Zuo Yue seemed to have thought of something again. She suddenly turned around and lifted the blanket. There was no blood on the bed. Her gaze paused. Although her body was sore as if she had been run over by a car countless times, she felt as if nothing had really happened. She tried her best to recall, but all she could think of was the scene of Xu Chengfeng throwing her into the bathtub and washing her with cold water, and even letting her soak in the cold water¡­ ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Zuo Yue massaged the various tired and sore spots on her body and then raised her hand to rub her forehead. She heard some movement outside the door and turned around to open it. However, she only saw the room service staff cleaning up the room next door. Zuo Yue looked at the room service staff in confusion, then looked at the other doors in the corridor and asked directly,¡±¡±Did the people who lived in those rooms go out?¡± When the room service staff heard her words, she turned around and replied,¡±The gentlemen and ladies who lived in those rooms have already checked out this morning. Of the few rooms on this floor yesterday, only this one hasn¡¯t checked out.¡± ¡°Checking out? Didn¡¯t they come here to discuss something? You left so quickly to wait for your order?¡± ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not sure. But Miss, before Mr. Xu left, he told us to prepare breakfast for you when you wake up. Would you like to have breakfast now? Although it¡¯s almost noon, you should be hungry, right?¡± ¡°Before I leave¡­¡± Zuo Yue muttered to herself as she looked down at her phone. She called Xu Chengfeng again, but no one picked up. For a moment, an inexplicable fear surrounded her. She suddenly turned around and walked out. The room service staff quickly closed the door behind her and turned to follow her.¡±Miss, do you want to eat something? You haven¡¯t changed out of your pajamas. Mr. Xu asked us to buy these pajamas from a nearby convenience store last night. Although they fit you well, the weather outside is very cold. Miss, you can¡¯t go out like this. You¡¯ll catch a cold!¡± Zuo Yue did not seem to hear the concerned voice behind her. She ran all the way to the front, took the elevator to the first floor, and searched the surroundings of the hotel lobby. There was still no sign of Xu Chengfeng, his secretary, or his assistant. There was no sign of them, including the few British business partners she had met by chance yesterday. Zuo Yue pursed her lips tightly. She held her phone as she stood behind the transparent glass door of the hotel and looked at the white snow outside. Her heart felt empty bit by bit¡­ It shouldn¡¯t be like this. Why did he suddenly leave without a word? If it¡¯s just something to do, it¡¯s not possible to use words like leave. What was leaving? Where to? Leaving her alone in the hotel and leaving just like that? Wasn¡¯t he having a meeting or discussing something with someone nearby? He just left. Was that all? He left so easily? Lian Keying, who had already asked someone to check the surveillance cameras in the hotel to see if Zuo Yue had been taken away by someone last night, came out of another elevator with a sullen expression. As soon as she walked out, she saw Zuo Yue standing there like a stone. She immediately walked over quickly and grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s arm to turn her around fiercely. When she saw her pale face and empty eyes, she was stunned for a moment and then immediately laughed. ¡°I thought you ran away last night. Looking at you, did you mess around with some man and don¡¯t know who did it to you, so you ran out and stood here in a daze? Did you meet some man in this hotel last night?¡±Lian Keying was about to explode from anger because her plan last night seemed to have failed. Now that she saw Zuo Yue¡¯s dejected look, her mood instantly brightened up. Zuo Yue glanced at her and did not say anything. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m talking to you. Did you have a good time last night? Didn¡¯t you say that I¡¯m promiscuous? Didn¡¯t you say that I was messing around outside? Look at you now, look at you. Who is messing around outside? Some people couldn¡¯t even remember how they slept with each other and spent the long night with each other, right?¡± Zuo Yue continued to stare at her quietly. After staring at her for a while, he unexpectedly raised his hand and slapped her face. Suddenly, Lian Keying¡¯s face darkened. The people passing by looked at them curiously. Zuo Yue looked at Lian Keying¡¯s hateful face expressionlessly and said in a very soft and slow voice,¡±¡±Lian Keying, it¡¯s a flaw in your character that you like to stir up trouble. Don¡¯t force your brainlessness and childishness on me again and again. If you want to drag me into hell, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to cultivate for a few more years.¡± Although Zuo Yue had hit her, she did not show any agitation or anger after being violated. Lian Keying covered the half of her face that had been hit and glared at her coldly,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you already drink the thing I gave you last night? Why are you still so arrogant? Did you come out in pajamas to tell everyone that you slept with someone last night?¡± Zuo Yue sneered and looked at her with pity.¡±¡±Lian Keying, do you know who I am?¡± Lian Keying put down her hand and looked at her angrily.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯ve been wearing the halo of the Zuo family¡¯s young lady since you were young, and now you still want to use your halo of being born with a golden spoon to suppress me? What ability do you have? Isn¡¯t it just better to be in the game? Isn¡¯t his surname Zuo?¡± ¡°Yes, my surname is Zuo, but it just so happens that the word Zuo can make your Lian family unable to stand in America. I can already foresee the future of your family.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was still very, very soft. She looked at Lian Keying¡¯s strange expression and said,¡±¡±We have known each other for so many years since we were young. You always thought that I had the halo of the Zuo family. I have never flaunted my family name or anything. I have never hurt anyone because of my prominent family background.¡± ¡°But today, Lian Keying, I will let you know the painful price you have to pay for offending me.¡±After Zuo Yue finished speaking, she turned around indifferently and continued to look outside. She still did not see Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure. She dialed another number on her phone. It was not until the call was connected that Zuo Ying turned to look at Lian Keying, who was standing beside her, looking indifferent as if she was not afraid of her at all. ¡°Hello, Uncle Chen, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m at the Rolls Royce Hotel. Please pick me up. Also, I once had a classmate named Lian Keying, do you still remember? Yes, it¡¯s the girl who participated in throwing me on the Winter Camp Mountain. I want her to disappear from my sight completely, get out of Los Angeles, and lose her reputation, including the Lian family¡¯s business. You know better than me what to do. In short, I hope that she will spend the rest of her life in regret and poverty.¡± Chapter 1094 - Chapter 1094: Asking the Moon on the Wind (179) Chapter 1094: Asking the Moon on the Wind (179) As Lian Keying listened, her eyes gradually showed a look of fear. Although the Uncle Chen mentioned by Zuo Yue was only the housekeeper of the Zuo family, he had a stable position in the Zuo family and was very famous and well-connected in the industry. No matter what request the master of the Zuo family made, he would do it well. If the Zuo family wanted to attack the Lian family¡¯s business, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. Seeing that Zuo Yue was serious, Lian Keying hurriedly went forward to snatch her phone. However, Zuo Yue only dodged lightly and turned to look at the staff behind her.¡±There¡¯s a lunatic here. Call security to take her away.¡± After she finished speaking, Zuo Yue held the phone in her hand and turned around to walk directly towards the direction of the VIP elevator. It was indeed because of his soft-heartedness that Lian Keying was able to survive for so many years. When she was young, Lian Keying had participated in the winter camp. At that time, the Zuo family had no intention of letting the Lian family off. At that time, he had said that he believed that Lian Keying had not participated in that matter and had always protected the Lian family. That was why Lian Keying had been able to eat and drink well for so many years. Uncle Chen had long disliked the Lian family. Now that she had personally made this request, she did not need to think about it at all to know how difficult Lian Keying¡¯s future path would be. She could forget about how she usually beat her up, how she made a fuss, and how she talked nonsense. However, since she dared to drug her and harm her so viciously, then don¡¯t blame her for being ruthless from now on! After Zuo Yue returned to her room, the matter of Lian Keying gradually faded from her mind. She only looked at the dazzling array of treasures in the luxurious presidential suite, but she felt that it was extremely empty. She suddenly turned around and walked into the bathroom. Seeing that the bathroom had been cleaned by the room service staff, she turned around and looked at the bathtub. Her memories from last night were slowly recovering, but she did not remember everything. However, she could barely remember the entanglement and kiss between her and Xu Chengfeng¡­ He even remembered the painful scene back then. However, he had just gone in for a moment before coming out. It even seemed like¡­It seemed like¡­ Zuo Yue lowered her head to take a look. He did not seem to have really gone in. He stopped at the most crucial place and threw her directly into the bathtub. After that scene entered her mind, Zuo Yue gradually frowned and turned to look at the mirror in the bathroom. She unbuttoned her pajamas and looked at the various ambiguous marks on her body. What did he say yesterday? He seemed to have said that she would hate him if he didn¡¯t do it, but if they really did have sex last night, she would only hate him more tomorrow. Was there another meaning to this hatred? ***** A week later, Zuo Yue sat in the courtyard of the Zuo family, leaning on the recliner that her grandfather often sat down to rest. She looked at the name on her phone. Xu Chengfeng had lost contact with her for an entire week. Her mother was not in the United States recently and was still in China with her sister-in-law. Where did he go to enjoy such a good opportunity to enjoy love together? Even if she had not done those things to her that night, and she had not really hated or blamed him, where had he gone? He had not been able to contact her for a whole week. A few days ago, she had even gone to Xu Enterprise to wait for him, but Xu Chengfeng did not go to Xu Enterprise. The staff only said that there would be some changes in the board of directors of Xu Enterprise. CEO Xu had recently gone abroad to handle some matters and had not returned yet. She had gone overseas for some business. No one had told her which country she had gone to, so she could not ask. The weather was getting warmer. The March weather in Los Angeles was getting better, but Zuo Yue¡¯s mood was extremely gloomy. The letter for her transfer from Boston had been sent over. As long as she signed it, she would no longer have to go to Boston to study, but Zuo Yue had not signed it. She was also waiting for someone to give her an answer. An answer that she had already guessed, an answer that could make her give up. A few days later, when school was about to start and Zuo Yue had to sign the papers to decide if she would really transfer to another school, Xu Yuan flew back from China. She did not know what had happened to Zuo Hancheng and Gu Anhao. Her mother seemed to have a lot on her mind. When Xu Yuan came back, she saw Zuo Yue in a daze all day, but she did not say anything. However, every time Zuo Yue looked at her and met her gaze, Xu Yuan would look away and not look at her. Gradually, Zuo Yue realized that her mother was acting strangely. She began to pay attention to her mother¡¯s attitude every day, but her mother kept finding excuses to avoid her. She even did not go home for a few days because of the change in the higher-ups of Xu Corporation. Xu Yuan rushed back two days later. She heard that Zuo Yue had only eaten one meal a day these few days and had eaten very little, so she went to Zuo Yue¡¯s room. When he pushed open the door, he saw Zuo Yue lying on the bed with a huge cuddle bear in her arms. She seemed to be asleep, but when she heard the sound of the door opening, she suddenly turned around and looked at him. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you been eating well these past few days?¡±Xu Yuan asked gently as she walked through the door. Seeing that her mother was finally willing to talk to her, Zuo Yue sat up from the bed and looked at her.¡±¡±Mom, do you know something?¡± Xu Yuan looked at her for a while and knew that this matter could not be concealed. It had been so many days. If Zuo Yue continued to wait like this, she was afraid that she would only harm herself. ¡°Zuo Yue, you¡¯re still young and don¡¯t know what true feelings are. At least your little uncle is more rational than you. He always knows what¡¯s best for you and how not to hurt you.¡±Xu Yuan said softly, but it was already tactfully revealing the truth that she already knew. Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly turned pale.¡± Then do you know where he is now?¡±¡± Xu Yuan shook her head.¡± I left a while ago to give you and your uncle a chance to get along. I¡¯m not a person who takes things too hard. I know that you¡¯re too stubborn at your age.¡± Therefore, I can let you guys go and have a relationship that transcends moral boundaries. At least you got what you wanted. It¡¯s easier to let go of it than not getting it. This pain might be reduced a lot.¡± Zuo Yue slowly opened her mouth, but she could not say a word for a long time. She only looked at her mother, who looked gentle but was actually crueler and more decisive than anyone else. After a long time, she found her voice and asked softly,¡±Did you ask him to leave? Did you ask him to let me have a satisfying memory and then leave completely?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Where did he go?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Hearing this answer, Zuo Yue held back the tears that were about to come out. She suddenly threw down the cuddly bear on the bed and ran out. ¡°Zuo Yue! Zuo Yue, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go find him!¡± Zuo Yue pushed Xu Yuan¡¯s hand away and ran out of the house. She ran into the car and drove out of the Zuo family¡¯s house. The Xu family in Los Angeles, the Xu Corporation, the villa in the Los Angeles scenic area, all the places she knew that he might be able to go, even to the airport. Zuo Yue drove around looking for him until Xu Yuan chased after her and forcefully stopped her car. She got out of the car and dragged Zuo Yue out. Her heart ached, but she had no choice but to scold her sternly,¡±Are you crazy enough? He had already left! From now on, I will never appear before you again! I will never set foot in Los Angeles again!¡± ¨C [Tomorrow will be the three years that we have been waiting for¡­ Hmm, the most indecisive part is already over. Zuo Yue will grow up in three years, and the plot will be very good ~] Chapter 1095 - Chapter 1095: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (180) Chapter 1095: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (180) Zuo Yue instantly looked at her mother as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Would he never appear in front of her again? Never set foot in Los Angeles again? Zuo Yue looked at Xu Yuan for a long time, but she did not ask a single word. She turned around and was about to get into the car when Xu Yuan stepped forward and pulled her down again.¡±Zuo Yue! Do you know how worried I am about you? Do you know how difficult it is to correct this kind of abnormal relationship? I won¡¯t force you to let go of your vows, but I definitely won¡¯t allow the two of you to meet again in the future!¡± Zuo Yue shook off her hand forcefully.¡±¡±Yes, you¡¯re all right! I¡¯m the only one who pester her every day! He¡¯s not in the wrong. The one in the wrong has always been me! Now, anyone can leave just like that. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s been kept in the dark like a fool! Now that the person who wanted to leave has left, and you¡¯ve already seen the outcome you wanted, why are you still dragging me along? Let me go!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, Mommy doesn¡¯t want to hurt you! I can¡¯t force you, so I can only force your uncle! At least he knows what¡¯s best for you! At least he¡¯s more rational than you!¡± Xu Yuan held her wrist tightly.¡±¡±Stop fooling around, okay? Go back with Mommy, I can give you time to be sad! But you can¡¯t do anything to hurt yourself because of him again. Time will fade away!¡± Zuo Yuejiang stood by the car door and suddenly looked at Xu Yuan. Before making a big mistake? That night¡­I almost made a big mistake that night¡­ However, he still left halfway through. Even though he was already at the end of his rope and couldn¡¯t take it anymore, he still left. Rationally? Haha. Zuo Yue did not say a word. Xu Yuan saw that she was thinking about something, but at least she did not struggle to drive to look for someone else. She forcefully pulled her into her car and helped her fasten her seatbelt.¡±Be good. Mom will bring you back. Leave the car here for now.¡± Zuo Yue remained silent. She sat quietly in the car and closed her eyes. Just as Xu Yuan was about to get into the car, Zuo Yue suddenly rolled down the window and threw her phone out. The phone smashed into the hard and cold ground and shattered. The screen flickered twice and turned completely black. Xu Yuan was stunned. She saw her action and then saw Zuo Yue quietly sitting in the car and closing the window. She thought about it but did not say anything. If she wanted to vent, she could do so. She could smash her phone or anything else. As long as she did not see Xu Chengfeng again, as long as the situation ended when it should, even if Zuo Yue wanted to burn down a house now, it was a small matter compared to an immoral love. Xu Yuan sighed faintly. Anhao was in trouble in the country, and Zuo Yue was not at peace either. It was as if a few strands of her hair had turned white overnight, but she did not have the energy to persuade her too much. The only thing she could do was to protect her daughter well and not let her daughter walk down the path of no return. As they drove back to Los Angeles City, Xu Yuan kept thinking of any way to comfort Zuo Yue. However, Zuo Yue remained silent. She did not lose her temper with her mother, nor was she in a cold war. She just did not speak. Zuo Yue did not cry either. After throwing away her phone, she quietly leaned against the passenger seat. Her eyes kept looking at all the streets passing by outside the car window. Her eyes did not move at all, as if they were empty, full, or detached. However, all her senses were still there. She could not lie to herself or anyone else. The only thing he knew was¡­ Xu Chengfeng had really left. He left without any precautions. Xu Yuan stopped the car at the Zuo family¡¯s house. Seeing that Zuo Yue was still standing there, she reached out and gently placed her hand on hers.¡±Child, don¡¯t blame Mommy.¡± Zuo Yue pulled her hand away from her hand. After a long while, she said softly,¡±¡±No wonder.¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue directly got off the car and quietly entered the Zuo family. When she met a few servants in the house who greeted her, she was no longer the usual smiling lady who greeted everyone. She silently walked through the hall as if she did not see anyone and was about to return to her room. Seeing the dejected look on Zuo Yue¡¯s face, Grandpa Zuo asked her coldly,¡±¡±Where did he go? What time is it? Everyone was waiting for you during lunchtime just now, but you suddenly ran out without even saying hello? Wang Ma specially made your favorite dish. You¡¯re too insensible¡­¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment, lowered her eyes, and turned to look at Old Master Zuo.¡±¡±Help me apologize to Wang Ma.¡± Old Master Zuo was speechless. He looked at Zuo Yue in shock. Xu Yuan chased after him, but Zuo Yue had already walked out from the back door. Old Master Zuo looked at Xu Yuan and asked curiously,¡±¡±What happened to her?¡± Xu Yuan was helpless.¡± It¡¯s nothing. A young lady at her age is a little hurt in her relationship. Dad, stop talking to her for the time being. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid she won¡¯t be able to take it emotionally.¡±¡± Old Master Zuo immediately poked the ground with his walking stick.¡±¡±They¡¯re all so old. They even have relationship problems! Are you forcing me to die?¡± Xu Yuan was not in the mood to argue with the old man and chased after him. However, Zuo Yue had already returned to her room. Zuo Yue¡¯s door was tightly shut. She sat on the sofa in front of the window. The kitten that she usually liked to hold in her arms was circling around her legs. Zuo Yue was not in the mood to hold it and only looked at the sky outside the window. Indeed, she would not blame her mother. When she found out that she had developed feelings for her uncle that she shouldn¡¯t have, her mother didn¡¯t break down or scold her loudly. Instead, she tried her best to minimize the damage. She knew how much her mother had taught her. She would not blame anyone, nor would she hate anyone. If she really hated him, she could only hate herself for falling in love with a man who could be so cruel. If she really hated him, she could only hate herself for not noticing that Xu Chengfeng had the intention to leave after so many days. If she really hated him, she would hate herself for falling in love with that person. Completely gone? Would he never appear in front of her again? Would he never appear in Los Angeles again? Would he not even come to America? Zuo Yue¡¯s hands were hidden in her sleeves and clenched into fists. Her palm was bleeding from the nails, but she did not seem to feel any pain. ¡°Meow ~¡± The kitten rubbed against her legs affectionately and tried to jump into her arms. Zuo Yue suddenly stood up, took off her clothes and went straight into the bathroom. She turned on the cold water and poured it on her body. She opened her eyes and allowed the water to hurt her eyes. She allowed her body to gradually freeze as if she had fallen into an icy river. She allowed everything to freeze bit by bit. She allowed the icy water to drench her from head to toe¡­ Chapter 1096 - Chapter 1096: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1096: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Three years later- May in Boston wasn¡¯t considered hot. Zuo Yue walked out of the library with a few books in her hands and was about to leave. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Julie suddenly caught up from behind.¡±You¡¯ve been coming to the library to borrow books recently. Are you preparing to go out for an internship?¡± Zuo Yue looked back at Julie and smiled.¡±¡±Yes, the pictures from our school have all been borrowed by the graduates. I couldn¡¯t find a few of them, so I could only borrow them from you.¡± ¡°You suddenly changed your studies three years ago. I heard that your mother helped you apply for a business management major in Los Angeles. But why did you come back to Boston? Back then, you never told me the reason, but you didn¡¯t leave Boston. Instead, you left your medical profession and didn¡¯t stay with us anymore. This has always made me feel bad¡­¡± ¡°How is it not together? Don¡¯t we meet often? It was just that they weren¡¯t in the same school and major.¡±Zuo Yue said with a smile. ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re not in the same major anymore. We¡¯ve been studying medicine for a year longer than you. You can prepare for your internship now, but we still have to study for another year.¡±Julie pouted.¡± You¡¯re studying business management now. Are you going back to Los Angeles to intern at Zuo Corporation?¡± After all, that¡¯s your family¡¯s business. It should be very convenient for you to go for an internship, right?¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment and did not say anything. She just smiled.¡±Not necessarily. It depends on the situation.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going out for an internship at the end of this month, aren¡¯t you? Why haven¡¯t I heard about you returning to Los Angeles? I haven¡¯t seen you return to Los Angeles many times in the past few years. Moreover, after you came back three years ago¡­¡± Julie looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s side profile. There were some words that she had been holding back for three years. She did not know if she should say them, but now that Zuo Yue was about to do her internship, she probably would not have the chance to be together often in the future.¡±Your personality has changed a lot, Zuo Yue.¡± ¡°Is there?¡± ¡± I¡¯m not sure. Anyway, after you returned from Los Angeles three years ago, you seemed to have changed into a different person. Although you were still very happy when you were with us, I felt that there was something hidden in your heart that made you less calm. Or rather, you became much quieter than before. Sometimes, it made us feel like there was a layer between us.¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Zuo Yue still had a smile on her face, but she did not explain too much. She only raised the book in her hand again.¡±Thank you for asking me to borrow books from the library here. I¡¯ll return it after I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush. I can only borrow books a few times a year. My book card limit will only end at the end of the year. If you want to borrow books, just look for me.¡±Julie smiled. After sending Zuo Peng out of the school, Julie suddenly said,¡±[Hey, have you been in contact with Brother RuiRuisheng recently?]¡± Brother Ruisheng? ¡°Yin Ruisheng?¡± Zuo Yue turned around and asked. ¡°Yeah, he came to America last week. He seems to be doing very well in his acting career in Korea. He¡¯s a popular Korean idol now, but he¡¯s been studying music recently. It seems like he wants to move from idol dramas to a music career, so he came to Boston¡¯s Music Academy to study.¡± ¡± He didn¡¯t contact me, I¡¯m not too sure, but he¡¯s currently very popular in Korea and Asia. I know a little about him. I often see him on TV.¡±¡±Zuo Yue smiled.¡± A few months ago, I even watched a TV drama that he starred in. The kissing scene was super cool.¡±¡± ¡°Aiya, I thought you didn¡¯t pay attention to him. It turns out that you secretly watch his dramas too!¡±Julie suddenly smiled maliciously and nudged her gently with her arm.¡±I have his contact information here. Do you want it?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze froze as she looked at Julie. Julie raised her eyebrows.¡± A certain popular celebrity has never forgotten about you. After I met him that day, I briefly mentioned your matter. He only gave me his contact information and said that he would give it to you when he had time. However, he didn¡¯t force me to do anything. It was just a casual remark.¡± ¡°Forget it, we haven¡¯t contacted each other for so many years.¡±Zuo Yue said softly and turned around to hail a taxi.¡±¡±I¡¯ll go home first. We¡¯ll talk again when we come out for coffee another day.¡± ¡°Hey, Zuo Yue, you¡¯re living alone in that apartment outside every day now. Don¡¯t you plan to come out and live with me and Weina? Isn¡¯t it boring to be alone?¡± Zuo Yue smiled at her and did not reply. She only raised her hand and waved goodbye. Seeing the taxi drive away in front of her, Julie sighed.¡±Seriously, your temper is getting harder and harder to deal with. Starting from three years ago, you came back to change schools and even ran out to live alone. That handsome uncle from before is also gone, and you don¡¯t live in that villa anymore.¡± Zuo Yue sat in the taxi and looked at the time. She put the books in her hand into her bag and told the driver her address before closing her eyes to rest. Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped near a luxury apartment building in downtown Boston. The moment it stopped, a black Porsche passed by. Zuo Yue did not open her eyes. She sat quietly for a while before opening her eyes. Seeing that she had arrived, she paid the taxi fare and got out of the car. Just as she was about to enter the apartment building, she rummaged through her bag for the key card and suddenly noticed that there was a rare traffic jam at the intersection ahead. There were only a few traffic jams in Boston City a year. How could there be a traffic jam? Zuo Yue not only turned her head to look at the intersection, but she saw the latest Porsche. The cool and smooth model was both luxurious and calm. She looked at the unfamiliar license plate number and then looked at the other cars. The intersection was not blocked for long. After two to three minutes, it was cleared again. Zuo Yue turned around and took out her door card. She opened the door and walked into the apartment building. After returning to the apartment she had been living alone in Boston for the past three years, she put down her bag full of books, turned around, and collapsed on the sofa, closing her eyes to rest. As time passed, just as she was about to fall asleep, a phone suddenly rang. She was so shocked that she jumped up and picked up the phone.¡±Hello?¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, the interview scheduled for tomorrow afternoon has been moved forward to 3:30 this afternoon.¡± ¡°This afternoon?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue looked at the time and said decisively,¡±¡±Alright, I¡¯ll pack up and go over immediately.¡± Chapter 1097 - Chapter 1097: Asking the Moon on the Wind (182) Chapter 1097: Asking the Moon on the Wind (182) Boston King Group Financial Company- Zuo Yue walked into the main entrance of the company in a tailored suit. She was preparing for the interview with a few other interns who had also come to apply for the job. While waiting in the company¡¯s lounge, he suddenly received a call from Los Angeles. ¡°Still not planning to come back?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s voice came from the phone.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, the Zuo Corporation needs you now. Dad and Mom are old, and your brother still has no intention of taking over the family business. Zuo Yue, since you¡¯re studying business management and finance now, why would you rather go to another company for an interview and start from the bottom than come back to take over the Zuo Corporation? Do you hate me that much?¡± Zuo Yue stood up as she answered the call and walked out of the lounge. She walked to a corner in front of the walkway where there were fewer people and said softly,¡±¡±Mom, I¡¯ve already answered you countless times over the past few years. I don¡¯t hate you. I don¡¯t remember what happened three years ago. Some things have already been completely removed from my thoughts and my life.¡± ¡°Then why haven¡¯t you come back until now? It¡¯s been three years. You¡¯ve been using your studies as an excuse to rarely go home, but you¡¯re about to graduate now. Zuo Yue, you¡¯re already twenty-two years old, almost twenty-three years old. You can come to Zuo Corporation and be alone.¡± ¡°You also said that I¡¯m about to graduate, but I haven¡¯t graduated yet. Besides, I don¡¯t have much social experience. It¡¯s good to train more in a company outside. Although Zuo Corporation is a family business, it doesn¡¯t completely rely on people with the surname Zuo. There are so many management levels in the company. You can¡¯t treat me like my brother. I¡¯ve studied business management, but it doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯ll take over those in the future. You know that I¡¯m not that capable. I¡¯ll just mingle in some companies outside and intern. It was a job. It was enough to have a normal and ordinary life.¡± The other side of the phone was silent for a long time because of her words. It was so long that Zuo Yue could clearly feel her mother¡¯s disappointment and sadness. However, no matter how disappointed and sad she was, she did not have the heart to experience it. She only knew that she had refused to stay in Los Angeles three years ago and returned to Boston to study. During these three years, she had slowly turned her love for that person into forgetting and even hatred. She had no complaints about the Zuo family. But that was a place that made her sad. She didn¡¯t want to go back. She just wanted to live a good life outside alone. ¡± Zuo Yue, I know that you¡¯ve been having a hard time these past few years. Back then, I had no choice. If you guys¡­¡± ¡°Alright, Mom, I¡¯m preparing for the interview. My name has already been called. I¡¯ll go for the interview first.¡±Zuo Yue said with a smile and hung up the phone. She turned around and walked to the interview hall. Whether it was in terms of appearance, height, temperament, or attitude, Zuo Yue was one of the best among the few students who were interviewed. Her professional knowledge was also excellent. In three hours, she had successfully passed the test and obtained the qualification to intern at King Corporation. The HR manager was very satisfied with her and invited her to have dinner with her colleagues from the business department and planning department. Zuo Yue was not familiar with the people in the company, so she was only a toy at first. However, the HR manager was especially enthusiastic and wanted to bring her along. Zuo Yue saw that another intern who was hired was also invited, so she followed. At least there was someone she could talk to, otherwise it would be too awkward. At dinner with the new colleagues, the HR manager introduced them one by one. There were a few students who came to China to study and later stayed in Boston to work. Because they were all Chinese, they more or less got along. It was already eleven o¡¯clock at night when the dinner party ended. Zuo Yue walked out of the hotel and was about to take a taxi home when she saw a gray Mercedes-Benz drive over and stop in front of her. She was stunned for a moment and looked at the car in front of her. The window rolled down and the HR manager waved at her from the car. The HR manager was a man in his thirties. He looked refined and had a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. He looked clean and refined. From the first time Zuo Yue saw him, he was wearing a suit that fit him well. He would occasionally look at her. At first, Zuo Yue did not think too much about it, but when he stopped the car in front of her and signaled her to get in with his eyes, Zuo Yue finally understood. She had been studying in Boston for the past three years. Because her personality was much quieter now, people often thought that she was a quiet and gentle girl when they saw her. There were also many men who chased her because of her appearance. Usually, cars would stop in front of her, but she would not accept any of them. She did not expect that the HR manager would take a fancy to her before she had even officially started her internship. Zuo Yue was not a narcissistic person, but it was such an obvious situation. She was out at work now, so she could not be too blunt and unpleasant like she was in school. Therefore, she could only nod politely at the HR manager in the car and say,¡±I live nearby. I¡¯ll just take a taxi back.¡± ¡°Tsk, do I have to be so straightforward?¡±The HR manager smiled and looked at her. His attitude was very easy-going and did not make her feel like she was being forced. He patted the front passenger seat beside him and said,¡±Come, get in the car. Even if it¡¯s only a five-minute walk, we can at least talk for five minutes. Let¡¯s go.¡± Zuo Yue wanted to refuse, but the person in front of her was the manager of the human resources department after all. She had just been hired and did not want to offend anyone. ¡°Manager Lin, I really live nearby. It¡¯s not even a five-minute walk.¡±Zuo Yue pointed at the apartment building not far away.¡±¡±It¡¯s over there. I¡¯ll cross the road and walk a few steps. If I take a car, I can¡¯t turn here. Instead, I¡¯ll have to take a big detour.¡± The HR manager turned to look at the apartment building that she was pointing at and immediately turned to look at her.¡±Where do you live?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I thought you were like those international students, staying in some simple dormitories in Boston. It seems that I underestimated your family background.¡±The HR manager smiled faintly. The apartment building that Zuo Yue lived in was not allowed to be rented out, so she must have bought the house herself. However, that apartment was in a very prosperous area in Boston. The price was not considered sky-high, but if she went to school here, she could buy a house in that apartment. In an instant, she could guess that Zuo Yue¡¯s family background was extraordinary. At the very least, she was definitely rich. ¡°Since his family background is not bad, why would he come to King Corporation alone for an internship?¡±The HR manager asked curiously. Chapter 1098 - Chapter 1098: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (183) Chapter 1098: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (183) The manager sat in the car while Zuo Yue stood outside the window. She smiled and said,¡±¡±After graduating, I should look for a company for an internship. King is such a good company, of course I would choose this place.¡± Manager Lin smiled again.¡± You know that¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t continue to answer him. She just smiled calmly.¡±If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first. See you the day after tomorrow when I officially go to the company for my internship. I¡¯ll be able to get to know my colleagues in advance at the dinner tonight.¡± Zuo Yue nodded at the other party after she finished speaking. She walked around the car and walked in front of his car, intending to cross the road. Manager Lin suddenly pressed the horn inside the car. Zuo Yue paused for a moment and turned to look at the Mercedes-Benz that was flashing its lights. Manager Lin opened the car door and got out of the car. He casually placed one hand on the car door and stared at her a few times.¡±You¡¯re not young anymore. You should have been in a relationship before, right?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue was stunned by this straightforward statement and did not continue for a while. ¡°You have a boyfriend now?¡± ¡°..¡±¡±No.¡± Zuo Yue was embarrassed. Manager Lin immediately raised his eyebrows. He had a hint of a yuppie in his refined manner, but it was not annoying.¡±Then can¡¯t you tell that I¡¯m interested in you?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Just standing outside and chatting? Get in the car and sit down. Let¡¯s talk for a while?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly smiled and raised her hand to tuck the hair on her cheek behind her ear.¡±¡±Manager Lin, you might have misunderstood. I said that I don¡¯t have a boyfriend, but it doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯m empty in my relationship. I just came out for an internship and want to focus on my work. I hope that Manager Lin won¡¯t put the habit of picking up girls on me.¡± ¡± I like girls like you who speak straightforwardly. During the interview this afternoon, your attitude when answering questions was just like now. It was simple and straightforward. To put it bluntly, you¡¯re beautiful and your personality suits my taste. That¡¯s why I wanted to pursue you before I knew you for 24 hours. If you think it¡¯s rude, I can wait a few days. But I hope that Miss Zuo won¡¯t treat me as a man who randomly picks up girls. I¡¯m not that kind of man.¡± Manager Lin made a gesture to her after he finished speaking, meaning that she could leave and he would not pester her. Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground for a long time after hearing this sudden confession and such a straightforward method. Manager Lin stuck his head out of the car again.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to sit in and chat with me for a while?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly smiled,¡±See you the day after tomorrow.¡±¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he directly crossed the zebra crossing and walked across the road. It was not until she left Manager Lin¡¯s line of sight that the faint smile in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes gradually faded. She glanced at the apartment building that was gradually approaching, but she was not in a hurry to go back. She turned to look at the bar beside her and directly turned around to enter the bar. ¡°Miss Zuo is here again? What are you drinking today? Brandy or Bloody Mary? Do you want a stronger or lighter one?¡± The bartender at the bar counter smiled and looked at Zuo Yue, who sat in front of him. ¡°Something lighter. In a few days, I¡¯ll be changing from a student to an intern in the company. I¡¯ll even have to restrain myself when I drinking.¡±Zuo Yue said as she put her bag aside and looked around.¡±¡±Why is the bar so quiet today?¡± ¡°Our big BOSS will be back in Boston in the next two days. The manager is busy reorganizing the staff of our bar and doesn¡¯t have much energy to entertain the customers, so he closed the shop in the afternoon. Today, we just opened, and you¡¯re the fifth customer.¡±The bartender handed her the Brandy that Zuo Yue usually drank, and then casually put two ice cubes into the transparent square glass in front of her. Zuo Yue took a sip and smiled.¡±¡±I¡¯ve only been coming to your bar for a few drinks in the past few years. I¡¯m used to the wine you make. It won¡¯t keep me awake, but it won¡¯t make me drunk either. Every time I drink it, I¡¯ll feel dizzy, but I can still recognize my house. When I get home, I¡¯ll have a good sleep. You¡¯re really a good helper for insomnia.¡± The bartender smiled and leaned against the bar counter.¡± You¡¯re such a beautiful woman. You¡¯ve been drinking in our bar for three years in a row. Every time, you¡¯re alone. When men come to seduce you, you never answer. You¡¯ve been drinking alone for three years. Sometimes, I wonder what kind of girl you are.¡± Zuo Yue sighed and laughed.¡± She¡¯s not any kind of girl. She just wants to drink.¡±¡± ¡°You want to drink? Have you never thought of finding someone to accompany you?¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him and did not say anything else. She looked around and saw a few more guests coming in. She asked,¡±¡±What did you just say about your big BOSS? Haven¡¯t I seen the boss of your bar before? The tall one who always appears in a black t-shirt. Don¡¯t you always call him boss? Isn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°That¡¯s the person in charge of our bar. Calling him boss is just a passing remark.¡±¡±Do you think our bar is private?¡± the bartender said with a smile. You might not have heard of it in the United States, but there¡¯s a big Russian financial group called the KP Group. Our bar is a branch of the KP Group¡¯s business branch in Boston. It¡¯s part of the entertainment branch of the company. There are nightclubs, bars, pubs, and all kinds of high-end clubs under the KP Group¡¯s name. You probably haven¡¯t heard of them.¡± Zuo Yue had just taken a sip of the wine in her cup when she suddenly stopped. ¡°The real big BOSS of our KG Group will be coming to Boston soon. He hasn¡¯t been back to the United States for three years. This time, he has something urgent to deal with personally. Otherwise, I think the big BOSS has plans to never step foot in the United States again.¡± Zuo Yue did not speak and continued to drink silently until she finished her glass. She placed the empty glass in front of the bartender and said,¡±¡±Another glass.¡± ¡°Another glass?¡± The bartender looked at her in surprise. You usually only drink one cup before leaving. My cup is just right. If I drink another cup, you¡¯ll be drunk.¡± Zuo Yue smiled.¡± It¡¯s the KP Group. Who said I haven¡¯t heard of it?¡± I¡¯ve heard a lot about you¡­¡± The bartender did not understand why she suddenly changed the topic and looked at her in confusion. Zuo Yue pushed the glass in front of her and said,¡±¡±Give me another glass. Hurry up and don¡¯t dawdle.¡± ¡°If you still want to drink, have a Bloody Mary. If you drink another glass of this Brandy, you¡¯ll be paralyzed here.¡± ¡°Whatever, it¡¯s wine.¡±Zuo Yue muttered softly, then suddenly laughed,¡±¡±Perhaps this will be the last glass of wine I drink in your bar. I have to drink to my heart¡¯s content.¡± Chapter 1099 - Chapter 1099: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (184) chapter 1099: riding the wind and asking the moon (184) ¡°why the last cup?¡± the bartender didn¡¯t ask too much and thought that something had happened to her.¡±is there anything i can help you with? aren¡¯t you going to be an intern soon? he shouldn¡¯t be leaving this city for the time being, right?¡± zuo yue did not answer. she only took the bloody mary that he handed over and slowly took a sip. then, she smiled. ¡°if i had known earlier that your hotel was backed by the kp group, i probably wouldn¡¯t have stepped foot in this hotel in my life.¡± ¡°why?¡± the bartender asked curiously.¡± zuo yue was still smiling, but her smile was a little dreamy because of the alcohol. after she finished the wine in her glass, she paid for the wine and did not say anything else. she turned around and left. ¡°miss zuo, you paid a little too much. let me give you the change¡­¡± zuo yue stopped in her tracks and did not say anything. she turned around and took the change from the bartender and walked out of the brightly lit bar without a word. it was summer in boston, and the air was hot and stuffy at night. zuo yue did not know why her heart was so cold. it was such a hot day, but she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. she raised her hand and rubbed her arms, which had goosebumps, and walked straight to her apartment. back in the apartment, he changed his shoes, put his bag away, changed his clothes, took a shower, and finally allowed himself to fall asleep on the bed. he closed his eyes for a long time but could not fall asleep. ¡°do you think our bar is private? you might not have heard of it in the united states, but there¡¯s a big russian financial group called the kp group. our bar is a branch of the kp group¡¯s business branch in boston. it¡¯s part of the entertainment branch of the company. there are nightclubs, bars, pubs, and all kinds of high-end clubs under the kp group¡¯s name. you probably haven¡¯t heard of them.¡± ¡°the real big boss of our kg group will be coming to boston soon. he hasn¡¯t been back to the united states for three years. this time, there¡¯s something urgent that needs him to come back personally to deal with. otherwise, i think the big boss has plans to never set foot in the united states again.¡± jr corporation. three years without returning to america if it wasn¡¯t because someone had unintentionally mentioned this person tonight, she would have almost forgotten about his existence. zuo yue turned over. she really could not fall asleep. she got up and went to her bag to take out a box of women¡¯s cigarettes. she opened the window and stood in front of the window, facing the night breeze as she gently blew out a cloud of smoke. suddenly, her phone rang. she looked at the time and wondered why someone would call at this time. she held the cigarette in her hand and took the phone. when she saw that the number on the caller id was unfamiliar, she could not help but be puzzled for a while before picking up.¡±hello?¡± after a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a clear male voice sounded.¡±zuo yue.¡± zuo yue¡¯s hand, which was holding the cigarette, paused slightly. her mind was a little blank. it took her a long time to realize that the voice seemed to be yin ruisheng¡¯s. then, she smiled and took another puff of the cigarette. she casually leaned against the window and looked at the night sky outside the window.¡±did julie give you my current contact information?¡± ¡°am i disturbing you?¡± yin ruisheng¡¯s voice was very soft.¡± i just attended an award ceremony in the united states. i¡¯m resting at the hotel. i remembered the contact number that julie gave me before. i couldn¡¯t sleep, so i called you to see if you were asleep.¡± ¡°not yet, but soon.¡± zuo yue took a few more puffs before she extinguished the cigarette in her hand and threw it to the side. ¡°when i came back, i tried to contact you, but i realized that the phone number you used three years ago was no longer valid. i remember that the number you used was your birthday number, and i thought you could always use it. i didn¡¯t expect you to change your number.¡± zuo yue thought of the scene of her throwing her phone away three years ago and replied indifferently,¡±¡±oh, if you want to change it, then change it.¡± ¡°how have you been recently? do you want to come out for a drink sometime?¡± ¡°sure, let¡¯s have a drink when we have time. it¡¯s only limited to drinking. i don¡¯t dare to get too close to a big celebrity like you.¡±zuo yue laughed as she exhaled deeply out of the window. although she smoked, she could not stand the smell of smoke in her mouth. it was as if she could blow away the unbearable smell of tobacco by breathing out. yin ruisheng chuckled a few times.¡± actually, i¡¯m staying in a hotel near you. you were standing in front of the window smoking just now.¡±¡± ¡°..¡± zuo yue was shocked. she looked outside and saw a towering hotel directly opposite. she looked at the rooms that were lit up. for a moment, she couldn¡¯t find which room yin ruisheng was in. ¡°there¡¯s no need to look for me. i¡¯m not at the window now. i¡¯m already lying down.¡± ¡°..¡±the corner of zuo yue¡¯s mouth twitched. you actually know where i live?¡± ¡°how can it be considered peeping? i just couldn¡¯t sleep just now, so i looked outside and happened to see your apartment. i also happened to see you standing in front of the window in your nightgown smoking.¡± zuo yue did not say anything. after glancing out of the window again, she casually pulled the curtains and turned back to sit on the sofa to drink water. ¡°it¡¯s very late. go to sleep. we¡¯ll talk again when we have time to drink together.¡±zuo yue was about to hang up after saying this. ¡°zuo yue, smoking is not good for your body, especially for girls. it¡¯s not good for your skin. i don¡¯t know when you started smoking, but don¡¯t smoke anymore.¡± ¡°.. i¡¯ll try my best. thank you. goodnight.¡± after saying that, zuo yue hung up the phone and leaned back on the sofa. her eyes looked at the crystal chandelier in the living room indifferently. since when did he start to go to the bar for a drink? when did you start smoking? she didn¡¯t seem to have learned her lesson. she didn¡¯t have the characteristics of a bad girl, nor did she dress up in a non-mainstream manner. she didn¡¯t do anything deliberately. he had suddenly learned to smoke and was used to drinking alone. he suddenly realized that he could no longer be as willful as he was when he was 18 years old. he could tell others what was on his mind, love, and vent his emotions. many things could only be hidden in one¡¯s heart and digested slowly by oneself. after smoking, even though the taste of the lady¡¯s cigarette was not strong and there was even a faint strawberry fragrance, zuo yue still took a shower uncomfortably. in the end, she still could not fall asleep. she looked at the wine cabinet beside her and wanted to drink another glass. however, she had already drunk at the bar that night. although she was no longer dizzy, as a person who was about to intern, it was better to restrain herself from drinking. she stared at the red wine in the wine cabinet for a long time before she finally looked away. she turned around and walked back to the bedroom. she closed the door and fell on the bed. she covered herself with the blanket and forced herself to sleep. Chapter 1100 - Chapter 1100: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon chapter 1100: riding the wind and asking the moon in the dream, xu yuan said over and over again that that person would never come back. the highway outside the airport was filled with coldness and despair. zuo yue suddenly opened her eyes. the moment she sat up, she touched the remote control by the bed. the curtains slowly opened automatically, and the morning sun instantly filled the room. she looked out of the window and raised her hand to rub her aching head. she had long lost the feeling of the nightmare that repeated over and over again last night. she washed up and tidied herself up. because she was going to officially work as an intern at king corporation tomorrow, she planned to go out to the department store to buy two more suits that were suitable for work. just as she was about to leave, she suddenly received a call from hancheng. zuo yue saw the number and knew that her brother was being begged by her mother to be a lobbyist again. she rolled her eyes at the elevator and answered the phone as she walked out.¡±you haven¡¯t found your wife yet. why are you calling me to persuade me to go back to los angeles?¡± zuo hancheng did not reply. it was obvious that it was not nice of her to poke at other people¡¯s sore points. however, zuo yue did not have the time to chat with him now. she only said,¡±does mom want me to go back again? what did she say to you? a busy person like you still has time to call me to persuade me?¡± ¡°did i say i was going to persuade you?¡± zuo hancheng¡¯s voice was a little faint. ¡°then why are you suddenly looking for me?¡± ¡°anhao caught a cold. go buy some medicine and send it to her. ask her friend to pass it to her.¡± ¡°..¡±zuo yue¡¯s lips twitched.¡± if i remember correctly, you and sister-in-law divorced two years ago. sister-in-law came to boston directly and was so far away from you. now that you¡¯re not married, you¡¯re still showing off your affection to a single sister like me. you can¡¯t bully people like this. why did you ask me to deliver the medicine? there are many of your people here. why don¡¯t you just let them go!¡± ¡°use your eyes to help me see if she¡¯s doing well recently.¡± it was rare to hear such gentle and kind words from zuo hancheng. zuo yue did not speak for a long time. after a while, she said,¡±¡±brother, i¡¯m very sure that you really love her. i¡¯ve never seen you care so much about someone.¡± zuo hancheng remained silent. ¡°since you love her, why don¡¯t you come to her directly? why did he let her live alone in america? this feeling of studying abroad and even living alone with a broken heart was really not good. since you love her, come and find her. it has been more than two years and you still haven¡¯t come. why are you looking at her in a place she doesn¡¯t know?¡± ¡°remember to deliver the medicine.¡± zuo hancheng did not explain and hung up the phone after giving his instructions. zuo yue immediately ground her teeth at the phone in her hand. she turned around and entered the elevator angrily. when she reached downstairs, she took a taxi to the nearby pharmacy. after buying the medicine, she took a taxi to the collective apartment where gu anhao was staying near the school. she found her two roommates through several connections and handed the medicine to them. she also told them not to reveal who sent the medicine and only told them to take the medicine and rest more. after doing all this, zuo yue called zuo hancheng. however, zuo hancheng had already gone to work and did not answer the call. zuo yue was so angry that she walked to the side of the road and sent him a message fiercely on her phone.¡±you bastard! remember to give me a big red packet next year! i didn¡¯t run errands all day in vain!¡± ***** the first day of her internship was very smooth. because of the previous dinner, zuo yue and her new colleagues got along quite well. it was normal working hours and getting off work hours. however, manager lin did not seem to be joking. when she got off work, she drove over directly to send her home. zuo yue smiled and declined politely before taking a taxi home. the second day was still the same. she declined again. zuo yue was even thinking about whether she should buy a car on her way back, lest manager lin always used the excuse of sending her home to warm up to her. after all, he was her boss. if she rejected him so bluntly every day, she might be made trouble in the company. however, if he had a car, he would have a reason to go back by himself. the plan was only a preliminary plan. on the third day, before it was time to get off work, manager lin invited her to dinner. zuo yue declined several times but could not refuse. before it was time to get off work, she began to find all kinds of excuses to stall for time. ¡°zuo yue, why are you here at this time to get business documents? isn¡¯t this tomorrow¡¯s work?¡± her colleague, kath, asked curiously when she saw the stack of documents in zuo yue¡¯s hand. ¡°i don¡¯t have much to do. i¡¯ve already overdone my work today, so i wanted to finish tomorrow¡¯s work first.¡±zuo yue replied with a smile. ¡°if you don¡¯t have anything to do, then please go to the conference room and help me get the meeting materials from just now. i heard that the ceo is having a private meeting with a group boss who rarely comes to meet in person today. there are a few documents that we need to get. i¡¯m busy here, so help me get them.¡± zuo yue was looking for something to do anyway, so she agreed directly. she took the work badge from kathy and went upstairs to the meeting room. the conference room was on the 60th floor. it took a long time to get there. zuo yue had just walked out, but the security guards on this floor didn¡¯t stop her because she had the secretary¡¯s office badge that cathy had given her. when she reached the door of the conference room, zuo yue was about to walk in when she looked up and suddenly saw a few men in black suits standing outside the door. when she saw ait, whom she hadn¡¯t seen for three years, zuo yue¡¯s expression froze. ainte did not notice the employee who walked out of the elevator until zuo yue walked closer. if it was not for the fact that this face had left a deep impression on him, he would not have thought that this girl who looked much more mature and even wore a professional suit was zuo yue. but she was indeed zuo yue! zuo yue looked at ainte, and ainte looked back at her. then ainte suddenly looked at the tightly shut meeting room beside him. there were many things that were self-evident. ainte¡¯s appearance here could only mean one thing. the only boss he was loyal to, xu chengfeng, was also here. zuo yue shifted her gaze away from ainte and instantly regretted coming here to get the meeting materials for cate. however, she was in a difficult position now. she was an employee of the company and couldn¡¯t suddenly turn around and leave after arriving at this floor. this would arouse suspicion from others, and it might cause a lot of repercussions because she delayed cate¡¯s matter. zuo yue stood stiffly in front of the conference room door for a moment. ainte suddenly said softly,¡±¡±zuo yue?¡± zuo yue acted as if she did not hear him and said expressionlessly,¡±¡±i¡¯m here to pick up the meeting documents, but it doesn¡¯t seem convenient for me to go in. can you help me go in and get them?¡± Chapter 1101 - Chapter 1101: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon chapter 1101: riding the wind and asking the moon ainte looked at zuo yue for a while, then turned around and signaled the security guards to stand further away. when only the two of them were left in front of the door, ainte reached out to open the door of the conference room and said softly,¡±i didn¡¯t expect you to be working here now. since you¡¯re here to get the conference documents, you should go in yourself.¡± as he spoke, he glanced at her work badge and was about to open the door. ¡°i need your help.¡± zuo yue looked at him. ¡°zuo yue, this is your job.¡±¡± zuo yue was a little angry. ainte could tell that she didn¡¯t want to go in and see the person inside, but he forced her to go in herself. ¡°forget it. i¡¯m just here to help someone else. i¡¯ll get the others from the secretary¡¯s office to come and get it themselves.¡±as she spoke, zuo yue turned around and was about to leave. ainte looked at her back and suddenly gave the security guards in black suits a look. the security guards immediately turned around and blocked her way like a wall. zuo yue stopped in her tracks and frowned. this was the company, and she had only been here for a few days as an intern. she did not want to cause any trouble, so she whispered,¡±¡±move aside!¡± the security guards did not say anything. they just stood on a quiet wall. there were company surveillance cameras all around. zuo yue could not say anything or push them away forcefully. she suddenly turned around and glared at ainte. ainte raised his hand and gestured for her to enter the meeting room. she walked back and stood in front of ainte. she said expressionlessly,¡±¡±three years ago, it was you guys who left without a sound. now that you chose to avoid me, it¡¯s also fulfilling your boss¡¯s plan to never appear in front of me again. now that i¡¯m staying away from you guys, why are you forcing me to go in?¡± ¡°this is just your job, isn¡¯t it?¡± ainte smiled at her.¡± besides, three years ago was three years ago, and now is now. some things will happen suddenly, and some truths will hurt when they are uncovered. but i think that everything that you once wanted will come true one day.¡±¡± zuo yue glanced at him indifferently when she heard his words, but she only smiled indifferently.¡±¡±you might be thinking too much. i don¡¯t really want anything right now. i¡¯m just going to graduate soon and come out to find a company to intern. i hope you won¡¯t make things too difficult for me.¡± ¡°work hard. you won¡¯t be eaten by anyone if you go in and get your information.¡±ainte only had a business-like smile on his face.¡±do you think that when the boss is here, no stranger can easily get close to this place? rather than letting others in, it would be better to let you in.¡± zuo yue rolled her eyes at him and did not intend to pay attention to him. however, with so many people blocking her way, she could only walk straight to the door of the meeting room. the moment aite opened the door, her face showed no emotion as she slowly walked in. the high-definition big screen in the conference room was showing various planning, presentation, powerpoint, and pictures. zuo yue did not look at anyone after she walked in. she only said in a very official voice,¡±i¡¯m here to get the conference documents.¡± as he spoke, he walked around the other side of the conference table as if he didn¡¯t see the people around it. he sorted out the meeting materials and recordings in front of the secretary and general manager, then respectfully nodded to the managers, turned around, and walked out. it was as if she did not see the man who had been sitting in the main seat across the conference table. it was as if she did not feel his gaze. it was as if he was just an unfamiliar ceo of a partner company. she would not take a second look at him, let alone think too much about him. zuo yue¡¯s swift attitude caused the meeting that was in progress to pause for a few seconds. the secretary manager did not know that zuo yue had been invited to help from the ministry of commerce. he immediately called out to her,¡±¡±wait a minute.¡± zuo yue stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at the secretary manager. which department are you from? why is our office¡¯s work badge hanging on it?¡± the secretary manager¡¯s words immediately made the others who were still in the meeting look at her with suspicion in their eyes. they even thought for a moment that there might be a corporate spy involved. everyone¡¯s gaze, including that person¡¯s. zuo yue did not look in that direction, nor did she pay special attention to the look in that person¡¯s eyes. she just nodded at the secretary¡¯s office manager politely and said,¡±¡±i¡¯m an intern in the commerce department. i¡¯ve been going to the printing room a lot recently and i¡¯m quite familiar with the secretaries in the secretary¡¯s office. just now, sister cass in the secretary¡¯s office said that she had some documents to do urgently, so she trusted me and temporarily handed me her work pass. she asked me to come here to help her get the meeting materials and then bring them back for her to organize.¡± ¡°kath sent you?¡± ¡°yes.¡± as zuo yue spoke, she raised the work badge hanging on her chest. it indeed had kath¡¯s name written on it. the secretary looked at her a few more times and nodded.¡±then you can go back first.¡± it wasn¡¯t that they had let their guard down, but there were real-time surveillance cameras on every floor and every corner of king corporation. indeed, no one could easily sneak in. if anything happened to kath, the company would have sounded the alarm long ago. zuo yue nodded again and turned around to leave. when she turned around, she glanced at the general manager and accidentally saw the person sitting beside the general manager. when their eyes met, xu chengfeng looked at her. he did not say a word, but his gaze was clear and gentle. there was no fake strangeness, but he also did not have any intention of getting close to her. he just looked at her as if he was sizing up the changes in her from a young girl to now, as if he was getting to know this unfamiliar yet familiar girl in front of him again. zuo yue¡¯s eyes only swept over xu chengfeng¡¯s body before she directly opened the door of the conference room and walked out. before she left, she heard the manager¡¯s voice behind her continue the meeting topic.¡±ceo xu, in my opinion, the cooperation case we discussed today also has an investor¡­¡± she didn¡¯t listen to the rest of the conversation and walked out of the meeting room. she walked past ainte with the meeting documents and recording files in her hands expressionlessly. when she reached the security guards, she raised the meeting documents in her hand and said,¡±please don¡¯t delay my work.¡± the security guards looked at ainte, who was still standing in front of the conference room door, in confusion. ainte raised his hand to signal for them to make way. zuo yue finally walked through the aisle in front of the conference room door and directly walked into the elevator in front of her, leaving the familiar and unfamiliar people behind her. Chapter 1102 - Chapter 1102: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon chapter 1102: riding the wind and asking the moon ¡°thank you.¡± kathleen took the meeting documents, only to see zuo yue quickly hand her work badge back to her and then turn around to leave without saying anything. kathleen wanted to say a few more words to her, but seeing zuo yue leave in such a hurry, she could only continue working with her head lowered. after zuo yue took the printed documents back to her office, she saw that the other colleagues in the office had already gotten off work. she had deliberately been busy to delay the time, and now it was already more than half an hour past the end of work time. she reckoned that manager lin would not wait any longer. she picked up her bag and walked out of the company. however, just as she walked out, she suddenly saw the black mercedes-benz parked in the square in front of the company. she stopped in her tracks and turned around to walk to the other intersection as if she had turned a blind eye. the black mercedes-benz quickly pulled up in front of her. just as she was about to wave her hand to stop the taxi, it stopped in front of her. the taxi could not get close and drove away. zuo yue was a little angry. she looked at the person in the car. manager lin was also looking at her from inside the car. when he rolled down the window, he turned to look at her with a smile.¡±don¡¯t be angry. since i want to chase you, i have to be a little shameless occasionally.¡± zuo yue did not know if she was angry or amused.¡±¡±manager, i¡¯m just an employee who just came to the company for an internship. i¡¯m still very ignorant and unfamiliar with many aspects. although i need to rely on everyone¡¯s care and love, i can¡¯t afford to receive such love from you. please put your mind on other people. i really don¡¯t have any plans to date anyone now. moreover, we¡¯ve only known each other for more than a week.¡± ¡°indeed, it hasn¡¯t even been 24 hours. the key is that you didn¡¯t give me a chance to be alone with you.¡±manager lin said as he looked at the watch on his wrist that was worth more than 200,000 yuan. then, he smiled and turned to look at zuo yue.¡±let¡¯s go for a coffee now. then, i¡¯ll send you back at nine o¡¯clock in the evening. give me a chance to introduce myself. how about that?¡± ¡± manager lin,¡± zuo yue didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.¡± i have other things to do tonight.¡±¡± ¡°aren¡¯t you single? what else could there be? if you really have something to do tonight, why did you dawdle for so long and refuse to get off work?¡± ¡°..¡± zuo yue suddenly felt that this man who looked gentle was really meticulous and terrifying when he did things. in front of the main entrance of king corporation, the general manager was in a good mood and was talking to xu chengfeng politely about the cooperation plan that they had just discussed in the meeting. just as he was talking about it, a few people beside him also echoed. xu chengfeng¡¯s expression remained indifferent and he had a polite smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. suddenly, ainte whispered,¡±boss.¡± xu chengfeng could tell that something was wrong with ainte¡¯s tone. he glanced at him, and ainte signaled him to look at the intersection ahead. xu chengfeng looked in the direction of the intersection and saw zuo yue moving to the side. the mercedes-benz moved in front of her and blocked her way. he only took two glances before looking back at the general manager of king corporation, who had also noticed him. the general manager recognized the person in the car and immediately smiled as if he had seen something interesting.¡± boss xu, you must be laughing. the person in the mercedes-benz is the manager of our company¡¯s human resources department. he has a good family background and is also very capable. he often likes to tease the female employees who have just joined the company, but he basically doesn¡¯t do anything to them. he just teases with those little girls. he often has all kinds of female employees who have feelings for him, but it¡¯s rare to see him so persistent and pester a female employee.¡± upon hearing the word ¡± molest ¡°, ainte didn¡¯t say anything, but he looked in the direction of the mercedes-benz with a compassionate gaze. xu chengfeng didn¡¯t say anything. he just smiled faintly and put one hand in his pocket. he turned to look at ainte, who immediately turned around and asked the general manager of king corporation to continue the discussion on the other side. xu chengfeng turned around and walked in the direction of the intersection. zuo yue would walk away decisively every time, but there was only one road in front of the intersection that she could pass through. there were cars passing by and it was very dangerous. she could not go through, but every time she went around a little, manager lin¡¯s car would block her a little. when she was a little angry but could not lose her temper, manager lin continued to look at her with a gentle expression.¡±i don¡¯t mean anything else. i just want you to get in the car.¡± zuo yue secretly gritted her teeth. although she was very reluctant, she thought that manager lin was still a senior executive in a big company like king. if he really dared to do anything to her, his reputation would not be good. she guessed that he was just being too pestered, but he would not do anything to her. after hesitating for a minute, she heard manager lin say,¡±get in the car. if you don¡¯t want to drink coffee, i¡¯ll send you back directly. i just want to be closer to you and get to know each other.¡± zuo yue let out a light breath and reached out her hand to open the car door. however, just as her hand was about to reach the car door, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist from behind. she did not know where she came from, but he decisively and straightforwardly pulled her hand back and pulled her behind him. zuo yue had yet to react. she turned around in shock. the moment she saw xu chengfeng, her mind went blank. she was dragged behind him stiffly and stood between her and the car. xu chengfeng held her wrist with one hand and put the other hand in his pocket. he looked at manager lin, who had a strange expression on his face, coldly.¡±she won¡¯t get into your car. you have three seconds to drive away.¡± manager lin was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the watch on the man¡¯s wrist. it was not particularly eye-catching, but it was extremely eye-catching in his eyes. it was the world¡¯s latest model, the millions of dollars worth of the world¡¯s most expensive brand, the patrick phillipe! he immediately took a look at the watch that he had deliberately revealed just now. putting aside the fact that he was far inferior in comparison, he could tell that this person¡¯s aura was not simple at all. moreover, he had appeared in front of king corporation like this. if this person was someone from the gn corporation that the leader was meeting today, he could not afford to offend him. after thinking for a few seconds, manager lin glanced at zuo yue again. zuo yue was stunned and had not reacted yet. he could only drive the car away quickly without saying another word. the obstacle in front of her automatically left, and zuo yue gradually came back to her senses. she suddenly pulled her hand away from xu chengfeng¡¯s palm and took two steps back to keep a distance from him. without a word, she turned around and reached out to hail a taxi, as if she did not care about the person who suddenly appeared beside her. Chapter 1103 - Chapter 1103: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon chapter 1103: riding the wind and asking the moon xu chengfeng¡¯s hand became empty in an instant. he turned to look at zuo yue. zuo yue, however, just stopped the taxi expressionlessly. she did not even intend to say goodbye and directly stepped forward to get into the taxi. xu chengfeng looked at her and reached out to grab her wrist again, pulling her back from the car. zuo yue staggered and almost fell into his arms. she was so shocked that she struggled to shake him off while raising her hand and looking at him coldly.¡±what are you doing? let go!¡± ¡°don¡¯t you know me?¡± xu chengfeng did not seem to have exerted much strength in his hand, but there was a strength that made her unable to break free. he just looked at her indifferently, but his voice was clear and had a different kind of strength. zuo yue immediately smiled, but it was only for a moment before she restrained her smile. she had no intention of getting entangled with him at all.¡±i don¡¯t know him!¡± xu chengfeng¡¯s handsome brows furrowed slightly because of her cold and straightforward answer. he still held her wrist tightly.¡±think about it carefully. you don¡¯t know me?¡± ¡°should we know each other?¡± instead, zuo yue scolded him coldly and shook his hand forcefully.¡±¡±let go! this is our company¡¯s front door. you¡¯re not afraid of being affected, but i¡¯m afraid of ruining my own reputation! take your hands off me!¡± xu chengfeng lowered his gaze and looked at her attitude of refusing people a thousand miles away. he held her wrist and did not let go. he said calmly,¡±you haven¡¯t eaten yet after work? do you want to eat together?¡± zuo yue immediately raised her eyes and glared at him. her eyes were cold and mocking.¡±i just rejected someone else¡¯s invitation. where did you get the confidence to think that i would agree to go to dinner with you now? who are you? do i know you? why should i eat with you? you¡¯re not afraid of losing your appetite, but i¡¯m afraid of indigestion! let go of me!¡± xu chengfeng snorted.¡± it¡¯s been more than three years. you¡¯ve grown up, matured, and become more sharp-tongued.¡±¡± zuo yue suddenly saw that there seemed to be a general manager in front of the company. she was only an intern now and really did not want to cause any attention near the company. it was not good for her to push xu chengfeng, so she could only try to free her hand from his palm and say impatiently,¡±can you please behave yourself? don¡¯t make things difficult for me here! you helped me out just now, but i didn¡¯t ask you to help me! you don¡¯t have to force me to have a meal with you to thank you just because of such a small matter! they were already strangers, so they parted ways and stopped pestering each other! i¡¯ve already taken my place, so please take your hand away!¡± ¡°it¡¯s just a meal. aren¡¯t you overthinking?¡±xu chengfeng suddenly chuckled and his voice was filled with warmth. it was as if he was not the same person as the ruthless and decisive man who left three years ago. zuo yue took advantage of the moment when he loosened his grip slightly and pulled her hand out. she took two steps back and said with an ugly expression,¡±¡±i¡¯m not hungry! i¡¯m not interested either!¡± after saying that, she immediately stopped the taxi again. this time, she quickly opened the door and sat in the car. she did not give him the chance to pull her out of the car. after closing the door, she told the driver the address she was going to and even rolled down the window. xu chengfeng did not stop her anymore. he just stood by the roadside and looked silently in the direction where zuo yue¡¯s car had left. he watched as the car gradually accelerated until it disappeared from his sight. ¡°boss.¡±ainte had finished his discussion with king and walked over. xu chengfeng heard it, but it was as if he did not hear it. he continued to stand by the roadside and maintained his posture as he watched the car leave. his gaze was calm. ainte also looked in that direction, but he could no longer see zuo yue and the taxi. ainte suddenly raised his hand to his mouth, cleared his throat, and pretended to cough.¡±i didn¡¯t expect miss zuo to come to king corporation for an internship so coincidentally. when i saw her outside the conference room today, i was also very surprised. however, i didn¡¯t expect that in more than three years, that willful and eccentric young lady would actually transform into such a womanly girl.¡± xu chengfeng did not say anything. the sky gradually darkened. the lights in boston were lit up. ainte stood behind him. he did not rush him but waited patiently. after standing there for an unknown period of time, xu chengfeng slowly raised his hand and looked at the palm that had just held zuo yue¡¯s hand. he slowly closed his hand and gently clenched it, but there was no longer any warmth that belonged to that young girl. ***** the taxi stopped at the apartment building for a moment. zuo yue got out of the car and walked into the apartment. as she walked, she was afraid that manager lin or someone else would follow her. she kept turning around to look at her surroundings. after making sure that it was safe, she entered the elevator. after entering the house, she suddenly felt weak all over. she leaned against the door as if she had completely emptied herself. the bag in her hand fell to the ground, and her body gradually slid down the door until she finally fell to the ground. the room was pitch-black, and the lights were not even turned on. only the moonlight outside the window shone in. the man¡¯s voice kept echoing in her ears. ¡°you don¡¯t know me?¡± that man¡¯s gaze, that man¡¯s actions, and the warmth of that man¡¯s palm. zuo yue slowly raised her hand and looked at her wrist. then, she closed her eyes and leaned her head against the door. didn¡¯t he say that he would never appear in front of her again? didn¡¯t he say that he would never set foot in the united states again? since she had left the company, why did she appear at the company she had just started her internship at three years later? even if they occasionally met, shouldn¡¯t they treat each other as strangers? why did he suddenly come over and pull her back? why did he ask her in that tone? after sitting quietly for a long time, zuo yue slowly stood up and turned on the light. she turned around and walked to the wine cabinet. she took out a glass and half a bottle of red wine. she poured half a glass of wine and put it to her mouth, but she paused for a moment and did not drink it. for the past three years, she had relied on alcohol to numb herself every time she suffered from insomnia. now that the person had appeared in front of her and was no longer just in the memories she hated, was there a need for her to drink alcohol to numb herself? in the end, they could only be strangers. if she took a step further, she would be doomed. zuo yue thought for a while and finally turned around to pour the wine into the toilet bowl. she watched as the wine was flushed away, then turned around and put the cup aside. she picked up the bag on the ground and took out her phone and a few useful documents that she had brought back from the company. there were two messages on his phone. one was a junk message, and the other was from manager lin. [zuo yue, i just found out that the man is the president of the kp group who came to the company to inspect the cooperation today. do you know him?] Chapter 1104 - Chapter 1104: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (189) chapter 1104: riding the wind and asking the moon (189) when she saw this message, zuo yue¡¯s emotions, which had just recovered a little, instantly fell to a point. she threw her phone aside and did not intend to reply. in the end, manager lin¡¯s call came in an instant. zuo yue¡¯s head was about to explode. previously, she thought that he was gentle, but she did not expect him to be so persistent. how many days had they only known each other? because the other party was her superior, zuo yue cursed under her breath before picking up the phone again. as soon as she picked it up, manager lin¡¯s voice sounded,¡±¡±have you gone home yet?¡± ¡°.. i¡¯ve already replied. thank you for your concern, manager lin.¡± ¡°why didn¡¯t you reply to my text? i don¡¯t have any other way to contact you, so i can only ask you this. is there any relationship between you and that ceo xu?¡± ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°it¡¯s okay. why would a person like him, who can remain calm even if mount tai collapses, interfere in a stranger¡¯s business?¡± ¡°..¡± it turned out that manager lin knew that he was meddlesome. zuo yue sighed faintly,¡±¡±i know him, but i¡¯m not particularly familiar with him. maybe ceo xu misunderstood something just now and thought that i was stopped by someone with bad intentions. men always have the tendency to save the damsel in distress, so he suddenly intervened. you saw it too. i was very surprised just now.¡± ¡°that¡¯s true. your expression at that time was very helpless. i thought that he was threatening you. however, zuo yue, don¡¯t think too much about it. i really like you. it¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that it¡¯s love at first sight. however, if you¡¯re not used to my frequent invitations, i¡¯ll restrain myself in the future.¡± ¡°there¡¯s no need to restrain yourself, manager lin. since you¡¯ve already said so much, i¡¯ll just say it directly. i don¡¯t plan to find a boyfriend at the moment. i¡¯m already very busy with my internship at the company, some graduation matters at school, and things at home. i really don¡¯t have the mood to think too much about it. it¡¯s really manager lin¡¯s fault.¡± after a moment of silence, manager lin said softly,¡±¡±okay, but can you not avoid me like this in the future? he didn¡¯t even give her a chance to say a word.¡± ¡°.. is there¡­¡± ¡°who do you think i am? so persistent to intercept you after work? if you didn¡¯t even give me a chance to speak, i wouldn¡¯t have gone so far.¡± ¡°alright, i¡¯ll be careful in the future.¡± zuo yue laughed awkwardly and found an excuse to hang up. however, her mind was in a mess now, and many things were in a mess. she had clearly sorted out her life well over the past few years. she had clearly let go of what she should let go of and numbed what she should numb. however, all of a sudden, it was chaotic. .. the next morning, zuo yue was still worried that she might be dragged to lunch or dinner by manager lin after she went to the company. however, she heard an employee whispering when she arrived at the company. ¡°hey, you guys heard about the country? manager lin from the hr department is someone with a strong background in our company. he¡¯s someone who can¡¯t be easily shaken. in the end, manager lin was forcefully fired this morning for harassing a female employee.¡± ¡°really? although manager lin often teased this new girl, it wasn¡¯t to the point of harassment. could it be that he had accidentally provoked someone with a stronger background than him?¡± ¡°who knows what¡¯s going on? he was fine yesterday, and i heard that manager lin was expected to be promoted to the general manager this year. in the end, he was suddenly forcefully fired.¡± zuo yue sat behind her desk and slowly took a sip of water. when she heard the words of her colleagues, she also felt that something was amiss. why was he suddenly forced to resign? didn¡¯t he call her last night to talk about the future? just as she was thinking about it, her phone suddenly rang. she looked down and saw that it was manager lin calling. she almost choked on a mouthful of water. she quickly picked up her phone, but she did not know if she should answer it. could it be that his dismissal had something to do with her? she didn¡¯t say anything to her superior, so how could it have anything to do with her? after thinking about it, there was only one possibility. she thought of the scene when xu chengfeng appeared beside her yesterday and recalled his cold expression at that time. she frowned. although she felt that it was unlikely that he would interfere in her matters, there seemed to be no other reason other than this. however, no matter what, this matter had nothing to do with her. after taking a few glances, she did not pick up the call and directly kicked manager lin¡¯s number into the blacklist. since he had already left the company and was no longer her boss, she did not have to be careful and spare him any face. in the afternoon, zuo yue and another girl who came for an internship on the same day went to the company¡¯s staff cafeteria. they planned to have a casual lunch before returning to the office to work. before they reached the staff cafeteria and just as they reached the elevator entrance, the vip elevator that was not supposed to stop at this floor suddenly opened. zuo yue subconsciously glanced into the elevator and met xu chengfeng¡¯s gaze. at the same time, she saw the general manager and a few important secretaries of king corporation behind him. she immediately averted her gaze and looked away calmly. she held the girl¡¯s hand beside her and was about to walk quickly through the elevator door. ¡°miss zuo?¡± however, she had only taken two steps when a voice suddenly came from the elevator. zuo yue stopped in her tracks. she turned around and saw that the person who spoke was actually the general manager of king corporation. she immediately looked at the general manager in astonishment.¡±are you calling me?¡± the general manager actually smiled at her politely and raised his eyebrows when she spoke.¡±what else? could there be a second miss zuo here who was related to president xu?¡± zuo yue opened her mouth but did not say anything for a long time. although she guessed that manager lin¡¯s matter should be xu chengfeng¡¯s doing, she didn¡¯t expect him to directly tell others that there was a relationship between the two of them. what relationship? relatives? uncle-niece relationship? or was it an old lover relationship that violated morality and ethics? she was only stunned for a moment before she suddenly looked coldly at xu chengfeng. xu chengfeng looked at the cold light in her eyes indifferently, but he did not say anything. zuo yue ignored him and nodded at the general manager with a smile.¡±¡±if there¡¯s nothing else, i¡¯ll go to the staff cafeteria first.¡± the general manager looked at her strangely and then at xu chengfeng. the moment zuo yue finished speaking, xu chengfeng suddenly walked out just as the elevator doors were about to close. zuo yue instinctively took a step back when his tall figure suddenly stepped out of the elevator and approached her, maintaining an appropriate distance from him. ¡°i don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to be too extravagant with lunch. since this floor is the staff cafeteria, we might as well just eat here.¡±xu chengfeng said casually as he walked past her. Chapter 1105 - Chapter 1105: Asking the Moon on the Wind (190) Chapter 1105: Asking the Moon on the Wind (190) As he spoke, Xu Chengfeng grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist with one hand and forcefully dragged her toward the restaurant under the stunned gazes of the surrounding people. Zuo Yue did not expect him to say that, nor did she expect him to suddenly touch her. She instinctively wanted to move away, but Xu Chengfeng had already firmly restrained her wrist, suppressing all her hidden struggles. At the same time, he looked back at her calmly. That gaze seemed calm and without any ripples, but it also seemed to have a deeper meaning. However, his hand did not reduce in strength, and he did not have any intention of letting her break free. The company¡¯s general manager was here, so Zuo Yue could not make too big a move. She only secretly glared at him, and her hands were still quietly exerting strength. Xu Chengfeng seemed to not notice it, and just pulled her directly to his side. Zuo Yue staggered and suddenly bumped into his arm and almost into his arms. She quickly took a step back and lowered her head to look at his hand on her wrist. Then, she looked up at him fiercely and gritted her teeth.¡±Let go.¡± The general manager seemed to have noticed something strange and felt that Zuo Yue¡¯s attitude was unusual. Ainte had already pushed open the door of the staff cafeteria and invited the general manager to enter first. As soon as the general manager appeared in the staff cafeteria, the employees who were eating lunch in the cafeteria were so shocked that their cutlery fell to the ground. Moreover, because the general manager and Xu Chengfeng, who had an overly powerful aura, appeared at the same time, many female employees screamed in varying degrees. Zuo Yue did not pay attention to the situation in the dining room at all. She was only secretly fighting with the hand on her wrist that was like an iron clamp. However, on the surface, he did not seem to have used much strength, but she could not break free no matter how hard she tried. While the general manager and Ainte were already clearing the way and walking to the front row of seats, Zuo Yue followed Xu Chengfeng and whispered,¡±¡±Let go! Xu Chengfeng! I just came to this company for an internship. Can you not make things difficult for me here?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her and said in a deep voice,¡±¡±Is asking you to have a meal together making things difficult for you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re making things difficult for me by interfering in my matters! When I came to the company, I didn¡¯t even reveal my family background in depth. I just wanted to spend my internship here properly. Now, you¡¯re messing up my life!¡±Zuo Yue muttered in dissatisfaction. At the same time, she continued to exert strength in her hands.¡±Let go.¡± ¡°I thought you were happy that I helped you get rid of the HR manager who harassed you all the time.¡±Xu Chengfeng pretended to look disappointed as he glanced at her. Then, he continued to hold her hand with a faint smile and pulled her to the side. Zuo Yue suddenly bumped into him. At the same time, she heard him lower his head and say in a low voice that only she could hear,¡±¡±I haven¡¯t even asked you to treat me to a meal to thank me. Now, I only want you to accompany me to the staff cafeteria for lunch.¡± ¡°Lunch?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him and smiled coldly.¡±¡±CEO Xu, you must have misunderstood something, right? What is our relationship? What right do you have to help me get rid of those who harass me? Besides, Manager Lin didn¡¯t do anything to me other than insisting on sending me home. You made her lose her job just like that. I felt a little guilty, but now you¡¯re using this to take credit? Did I beg you to help me? Isn¡¯t everything your wishful thinking? So, why should he ask the people of the country to come and show their gratitude?¡± ¡°My wishful thinking?¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed to have heard a good joke. At the same time, his eyes fell on her face.¡±As expected, you¡¯re becoming more and more sharp-tongued. However, these four words don¡¯t seem to be suitable for me.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned pale. She stopped in her tracks and refused to take another step forward. Xu Chengfeng could tell that she seemed to be completely enraged by his words. He looked back at her.¡±Come here.¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng.¡± Zuo Yue expressionlessly ignored the gazes of the people around her and struggled to break free. Xu Chengfeng could see that she was making too much of a commotion, so he finally let her go.

You don¡¯t have to humiliate me with my wishful thinking from three years ago. I have nothing to do with you now. We¡¯re only strangers with some blood relations. I¡¯m working now, not in school or playing house.¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue turned around expressionlessly and walked quickly to the restaurant¡¯s door. She opened the door and walked out without looking back. Xu Chengfeng stood where he was and looked at her back without saying anything. Seeing that Zuo Yue had run away, Ait immediately walked over and said,¡±¡±BOSS?Miss Zuo, she¡­?¡± Xu Chengfeng put the hand that had been holding Zuo Yue¡¯s hand into his pocket. His expression seemed to be indifferent and did not change, but his eyes stopped at a point in the air without focus for a moment, and he sighed faintly. ¡± Boss, if Miss Zuo still holds a grudge against you because of what happened three years ago, or if she misunderstood something, why don¡¯t you tell her the truth that you found out not long ago? I think her attitude won¡¯t be like this anymore. She¡¯ll definitely be very happy. After all, I found out that Miss Zuo hasn¡¯t had a boyfriend in the past few years, and she¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. After a moment, he turned around and walked towards the general manager¡¯s table. He only said indifferently,¡±The Shu Road is difficult, but it¡¯s harder to climb the sky.¡± Ait was speechless. She had never heard such a sour and cultured word from her BOSS. However, looking at Zuo Yue¡¯s attitude, it seemed that some things could not be resolved with just one or two so-called truths. After all, three years ago, Boss had indeed left too completely and too heartlessly. Zuo Yue was a girl who loved her so much that she could ignore the world. Once his heart was really hurt and he started to hate her, it would probably be extremely difficult to bring her back to his side. Outside the staff cafeteria, Zuo Yue walked into the elevator quickly as she looked at the numbers that were slowly descending. There were still two hours before she had to go to work in the afternoon. She needed to find a place to calm herself down. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would smash things when she returned to the office. He finally walked out of the company, but his stomach suddenly hurt. His face turned pale as he walked up the stairs, and he almost fell down. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and raised her hand to cover her stomach. She slowly sat on the flower bed at the side with some difficulty. The pain in her stomach suddenly came. Only then did she remember that she had barely eaten anything other than a few glasses of wine and a few mouthfuls of noodles. Chapter 1106 - Chapter 1106: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1106: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon She had finally wanted to eat some just now, but in the end, she had run out halfway. It was only now that she began to wonder if Xu Chengfeng was her jinx. Before she met him, although she had always been alone in the Zuo family and did not feel any special warmth, at least her life was as peaceful as water. Occasionally, she would be a little willful and there would never be any big problems. However, ever since she met him, the entire world seemed to have changed. She had been hospitalized, shot, kidnapped, and almost fell off a car on a snowy highway. She had even rolled over the snow and almost died. In the past three years, she had adjusted her life with great difficulty, distancing herself from right and wrong, and distancing herself from everyone she was once familiar with. But why did he appear just as she was about to embark on a new journey in her life? In the end, she had clearly felt that there was nothing wrong with her these past few days, but she had actually forgotten to eat. Zuo Yue was in so much pain that her forehead was covered in sweat. She called Kath, who had the best relationship with her in the company. Ten minutes later, Kath bought some hot milk, soft bread, and ham from the staff canteen and ran to her to give them to her. Zuo Yue sat by the flower bed in the square opposite the company and drank some hot milk, took a few bites of soft bread, and ate two bites of ham. Only then did she feel much better from her stomach that was cramping from hunger. ¡°Why don¡¯t you eat at the restaurant? You look so pale. You¡¯ve only been interning at the company for a few days, and your body can¡¯t take it anymore?¡±¡± I¡¯ve seen you going to the printing room every day these past few days. It¡¯s rare to see an intern like you working so hard. I thought you would be like a soldier every day. But in the blink of an eye, you suddenly look so weak?¡± ¡°How is it weak? It was just that he hadn¡¯t eaten anything in the past few days.¡±Zuo Yue smiled and took another sip of warm milk. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating? Losing weight?¡± ¡°.. Just treat it as me losing weight.¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? You¡¯re so thin that you¡¯re almost a straight pole, and you¡¯re still trying to lose weight?¡±Kath was a typical young American girl, but she was a little chubby. She was so envious of Zuo Yue¡¯s slim figure that she couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at her when she heard that Zuo Yue was on a diet. Zuo Yue laughed for a while and finished the warm milk. Then, she stood up and said,¡±¡±Do you want to go for a walk?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t. There are still a few documents waiting for me on the computer. The manager is in a hurry to use them in the afternoon.¡±Seeing that Zuo Yue¡¯s expression was much better now, Kathleen waved at her and turned around to walk back. Zuo Yue stood in front of the company¡¯s door for a while. A breeze blew past. The temperature of 27 ¨C 28 degrees was really pleasant. She looked down at the high heels on her feet and the dress she was wearing. It was such warm weather, but it was rare to feel the cold wind in her memory. ***** The next day was the weekend. It was Zuo Yue¡¯s first day off after starting her internship. Early in the morning, she changed into a thin, short-sleeved white sportswear and went for a morning run in the park behind her apartment. As she ran, she listened to all kinds of battle songs. Her mind was filled with scenes from disaster movies and war movies. She could not be distracted to think about emotions or sad things. She had spent the past three years like this. She did not give herself any time to think about that person. Three years had passed just like that. Even if that person appeared in front of her again, she would not change. After running a few rounds in the park, which added up to about seven kilometers, Zuo Yue turned around and wanted to sit down on the bench to rest. However, as soon as she turned around, she was shocked by the person who had appeared behind her for an unknown period of time. Manager Lin, who had been forcefully fired for a few days, was standing a few meters behind her. He did not look like he had just arrived, but like he had been watching her for a long time. Zuo Yue instinctively became vigilant. She looked behind him and then looked around herself. Fortunately, there were many people who came out to exercise in the early morning nearby. It was not a remote place. She was more or less relieved, but she really did not understand why Manager Lin was here. ¡°You were shocked?¡± Manager Lin didn¡¯t have the kind of hostility she had imagined. He just smiled bitterly.¡±Don¡¯t think too much. This is really just a chance encounter. I¡¯m not going to be entangled to this extent.¡± Zuo Yue said awkwardly,¡±You¡­¡± You were fired from the game.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You want to apologize to me?¡± Manager Lin smiled and said,¡± I was also very angry when I was suddenly fired. After thinking about it, I had flirted with so many girls for so many years, but I was always lenient. In the blink of an eye, I ended up in your hands. It could be considered retribution.¡±¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. Manager Lin walked over and sat down on the bench behind Zuo Yue. He patted the seat beside her. Although Zuo Yue was embarrassed, she still sat down and kept some distance from him. ¡°But speaking of which, our Lin family has some status in Boston. Someone who can easily get me down, heh¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s the relationship between you and that CEO Xu?¡± he asked as he looked at her. Just because you saw me pestering you for a while, you¡¯re so ruthless? Is he your boyfriend? Or is there some past between the two of you? Why did I hear that he hasn¡¯t appeared in America for more than three years? You¡¯re a student who hasn¡¯t graduated yet. It shouldn¡¯t be possible between the two of you¡­¡± ¡°No matter what the relationship is, I¡¯m very sorry. But since Manager Lin has such a good family background, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for you to find another similar job.¡±Zuo Yue said softly and stood up.¡±¡±I felt a little guilty at first, but now that I¡¯ve heard that you¡¯ve hurt so many young ladies ¡®hearts, I don¡¯t feel guilty anymore. It¡¯s fine as long as Manager Lin doesn¡¯t blame me.¡± As she spoke, Zuo Yue turned around and walked out of the park. Manager Lin raised his eyebrows and suddenly sighed.¡±So free and easy¡­¡± As he spoke, he stood up and did not say much. He just walked beside Zuo Yue and said as he walked,¡±¡±Do you want to have breakfast together?¡± Left, just about to refuse, two people have already walked to the park entrance, suddenly looking up to see a black Porsche Porsche parked in front of the park entrance, Xu Chengfeng so casually, leaning back at the door side, beside him is currently, he is laughing, talking, Aite, two people look up, it seems that just casually parked the car here, get off here to talk about things, but just stopped in front of the park entrance, looking at whether deliberately or deliberately However, the moment Zuo Yue walked out, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze turned over and looked in her direction accurately. Chapter 1107 - Chapter 1107: Asking the Moon on the Wind (192) Chapter 1107: Asking the Moon on the Wind (192) Their eyes met, but it was not as awkward as she had expected, because Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was already on Manager Lin, who was walking beside her. Manager Lin also noticed the direction of the car. However, no matter how high Xu Chengfeng¡¯s status was, he had just lost his job. He had no official position and was light. No one could do anything to him. Manager Lin raised his eyebrows and thought it was a little interesting. He laughed softly beside Zuo Yue and said,¡±Looks like we can¡¯t have breakfast together. What¡¯s your relationship? If you say it, I might be able to give up.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze left Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction and said indifferently,¡±¡±What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll treat you.¡± Manager Lin¡¯s eyes were a little surprised. Then, as if sensing her intention, he smiled and said,¡±No way! Although you do look very charming, you shouldn¡¯t be pestered by someone like President Xu. So, there¡¯s no need to use such a method to make President Xu retreat. If I¡¯m just used as a shield, I¡¯m afraid that our Lin family won¡¯t be able to survive in Boston in the future.¡± ¡°Since you know, why are you deliberately hitting on me?¡±Zuo Yue immediately turned around and looked at him seriously.¡±¡±If you have the guts to chase after someone, then chase after them. Using you as a shield at least proves that I believe in your character, Manager Lin. If you think you¡¯re being used, the road is over there.¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue raised her hand and untied her hair. A few seconds later, she combed her hair again. She combed it neatly and meticulously without any signs of fatigue or embarrassment. She turned around expressionlessly and jogged in the other direction outside the park, throwing everything behind her to the back of her mind. Manager Lin stood where he was and raised his eyebrows. If it weren¡¯t for Xu Chengfeng, he would have tried to woo a girl with Zuo Yue¡¯s personality for a year or two. She was just being used, but she had the courage to say it so bluntly. It was rare to see such a cute girl. However, it was Xu Chengfeng. He was the president of the KG Corporation, and the KG Corporation had already gradually taken over the business circle in Boston a few years ago. They had quickly taken over the status of the Chinese business circle in Boston. The Lin family was also a businessman, so they could not offend someone like Xu Chengfeng. If he really offended a certain level, it would not be as simple as losing his job. It was likely that the Lin family would not have a good time from now on. Manager Lin stood rooted to the ground with a regretful expression. After sighing, he had no choice but to put on a polite smile and nod in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction, even though Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze did not stop on him at all. ¡°BOSS.¡±Seeing Zuo Yue leave just like that, Ainte glanced at Manager Lin, who was obviously still a little tactful. He leaned closer to Xu Chengfeng and whispered,¡±¡±We just drove past the hotel early in the morning and saw Zuo Yue running here, so we parked the car here. Would Miss Zuo misunderstand that we were following her?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced in the direction where Zuo Yue had left and said calmly,¡±¡±It doesn¡¯t make any difference whether it¡¯s a misunderstanding or not.¡± ¡°.. That¡¯s right. With her current attitude of wishing that she could meet you and not know you, there¡¯s indeed no difference.¡± The logic was so simple, but Ainte was so straightforward. Xu Chengfeng immediately looked at him coldly, and Ainte immediately cleared his throat.¡±I think you can leave Chairman Robert¡¯s matters to William and the others. Boss, you don¡¯t have to rush over personally. Why don¡¯t you go for breakfast?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at him again, but the killing intent in his eyes was much less this time. Ainte heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to him with a flattering smile.¡±¡±Then Boss, you should hurry up and have breakfast. Leave Robert¡¯s matter to William and me. We¡¯ll definitely handle it properly! I won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Xu Chengfeng patted Ainte¡¯s shoulder and left. Although the BOSS did not say anything, Ainte knew that the BOSS was in a good mood. He felt that the three years of low pressure that he did not even dare to breathe was finally coming to an end. Zuo Yue had been running for a long time. She did not have as much strength as before. After jogging for a few steps, she began to slow down and finally turned to walk slowly. As she walked, she was about to take out her phone to check the time when someone suddenly appeared beside her. Her expression froze and she turned her head abruptly. She saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s long legs catching up to her effortlessly, and then he began to walk slowly at the same speed as her. However, he was a tall man with long legs. She could not keep up with him after a few slow steps. Xu Chengfeng suddenly stopped for a few seconds and looked back at her. He was obviously waiting for her. Zuo Yue looked at him in confusion, then turned to look at the black Porsche not far away. Seeing Ainte drive away, she stopped in her tracks. Xu Chengfeng also stood in place and did not say anything. He just looked at her quietly, as if it was normal to walk with her like this. It was as if it was strange for her to suddenly stop. It was as if there had never been a farewell without saying goodbye, as if there had never been hatred, and as if nothing that should not have happened. Seeing his silent yet mature-of-factly attitude, Zuo Yue had nowhere to vent her anger. She held it in for a long time before continuing to walk forward, but as she walked, she said coldly,¡±¡±Mr. Xu must have something urgent to deal with when he suddenly returned to the United States. Why don¡¯t you hurry up and do what you should be doing? Why did you come all the way to me to make yourself known? I don¡¯t remember having any special feelings between us that required you to specially come and find me after returning to the United States.¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly smiled faintly and said,¡±¡±Indeed, I don¡¯t have any special feelings.¡± Zuo Yue did not understand the deep affection in his words. She only felt that he seemed to be mocking her childish and willful behavior back then. Her expression instantly turned colder.¡±Then go ahead. There¡¯s no need for us to be so close. There¡¯s no need for us to be too close now, and there¡¯s no need for us to be so close in the future.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she began to run forward. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat breakfast? Since that Lin guy doesn¡¯t give you face, why don¡¯t you treat me to a meal?¡± ¡°..¡± Time could indeed erase some traces. For example, how could a man who was so rational that he was almost cold-blooded be so shameless? Zuo Yue looked back at him with an ugly expression.¡±¡±Did you hear what we said?¡± ¡°Maybe the wind was blowing in my direction and carried the sound.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were calm and emotionless, but it made people feel his patience. Zuo Yue could not get used to his shamelessness. After standing stiffly for a moment, she suddenly sneered and turned her head to the road. Chapter 1108 - Chapter 1108: Asking the Moon While Riding the Wind (193) Chapter 1108: Asking the Moon While Riding the Wind (193) ¡°Xu Chengfeng, I remember that three years ago, you liked to ask me, do I know what I¡¯m doing?¡±Zuo Yue turned around to look at him and said coldly,¡±¡±So do you know what you¡¯re doing now?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly.¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him. ¡°I¡¯m talking to my dearest little girl and waiting for her to invite me for breakfast.¡±Xu Chengfeng said as if nothing had happened. He raised his eyebrows and said matter-of-factly,¡±After all, I had some social events last night and drank a lot. I haven¡¯t eaten anything until now. If I don¡¯t eat breakfast now, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll fall ill from hunger.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him for a long time and suddenly smiled. After a moment, her face turned cold and she threw him two words,¡±¡±Jiaoqing.¡± With that, he turned around and left without looking back. Xu Chengfeng stood behind her and looked at the stubborn little girl. He could not help but laugh. Zuo Yue walked a few steps away and suddenly froze. What did he just say? He didn¡¯t say that she was his niece, nor did he mention their relationship. Did he say ¡®dearest little girl¡¯? Who was it? Her? What did he mean? Did he suddenly come back to tease her after leaving for three years? Could it be that after leaving without saying goodbye for three years, he suddenly realized that being with any woman was not as exciting as being with his niece, so he suddenly came back to choose her to try the passionate collision between his niece and uncle? Zuo Yue only paused for a moment. Although she was angry, she felt relieved. Forget it, it had nothing to do with her. She just had to avoid it. However, just as she was about to turn around and cross the road, Xu Chengfeng walked over and faced her. Because she was walking forward, he maintained the posture of looking into her eyes and walked back step by step. However, he could easily avoid the street lamps and all obstacles by the roadside. Zuo Yue wished that he could just fall down, but he walked too steadily and kept looking at her without saying a word. Zuo Yue suddenly stopped and said,¡±¡±Mr. Xu! Can you please stay away from me while I can still address you respectfully? I don¡¯t want to take off my high heels and smash them on your face one day! I believe you don¡¯t want such a disharmonious thing to happen! So please stay away from me! Farther away¡­Farther away!¡± Zuo Yue raised her hand impatiently and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Then, she turned to look in another direction.¡±Also, if you want to eat breakfast, go eat it yourself. I have nothing to do with you, so why should I treat you?¡± ¡°No relation?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her and suddenly chuckled.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t they almost have sex?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mind suddenly recalled that night at the Rolls Hotel three years ago. That night, she went in and left again. She did not cross the last line. She instantly clenched her fists and suddenly raised her hand that was holding her bag strap. She threw the bag at him fiercely. Xu Chengfeng quickly raised his hand to block her attack, but Zuo Yue tried to push his hand away and scolded,¡±¡±Bastard! Who gave you the courage to mention the past in front of me? Xu, let me tell you, if it weren¡¯t for my grandfather¡¯s blood flowing in your body, I would have chopped you up on the first day I saw you again!¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at the angry little girl. He chuckled and held her hand.¡±I¡¯ve been training for the past few years? Your strength has increased quite a bit.¡± Zuo Yue struggled for a while, and her expression turned ugly.¡±¡±Let go!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not pester her by the roadside. When he let go of her hand, Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡±Good! I won¡¯t send you off!¡± ¡°I¡¯m a partner that your company needs to win over. As an employee of King Corporation, it¡¯s rare for you to have the opportunity to treat me to a meal.¡±Xu Chengfeng suddenly said softly. ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue immediately looked at him with disgust.¡±¡±I found the job myself and chose the company for my internship. Do I need to rely on treating you to a meal to stabilize my status and internship results?¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled.¡± ¡°What kind of Zuo Yue do you know?¡±Zuo Yue said mockingly,¡±You¡¯re willful enough, right?¡± Mr. Xu, if you want the kind of girl who will always do things according to your heart, who will always cater to you, who will approach you whenever you want, and who will retreat whenever you want, then I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not. You don¡¯t have to tell me about what happened back then. To me, everything back then was in my previous life. I¡¯ve long forgotten about it.¡± Xu Chengfeng reached out and grabbed her, who was about to turn around and leave. Zuo Yue turned her head to look at her wrist that was restrained and said with an ugly expression,¡±Xu Chengfeng, let go! You should know better than me how uncomfortable and disgusting it is to be pestered by someone endlessly! Are you trying to disgust me now? I¡¯ve already suffered enough punishment. I don¡¯t need you to come back and stab me in the heart three years later! Let go of me!¡± ¡°Do I look like I came back to stab you?¡±Xu Chengfeng suddenly glared at her.¡±¡±Don¡¯t move, if you don¡¯t want me to forcefully bring you into the car.¡± Zuo Yue glared at him angrily.¡±¡±What right do you have!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about all the suitors you¡¯ve rejected in the past three years. I¡¯ve rejected all of them in the past three years.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue was stunned for a long time before she suddenly smiled.¡±Why does it sound like lyrics?¡±After saying that, she sneered. Xu Chengfeng frowned and tightened his grip on her wrist because of her teasing attitude.¡±Can you be more serious? Can¡¯t you talk nicely?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes and looked at him expressionlessly. Her eyes were calm and distant.¡±I can¡¯t be serious with you. What¡¯s serious? Was it edible? Can it stop the pain? Could it make a person realize how shameless he was in the past? Are you trying to drag a person who has finally woken up into a nightmare?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened, but he did not let go of her hand. He looked down at the obvious rejection and alienation in her eyes.¡±Hate me?¡± Zuo Yue laughed mockingly.¡± I don¡¯t hate you. I don¡¯t even love you now, so how can I hate you? All feelings have to be sincere. You¡¯re no longer in my heart. Why should I waste my energy to hate someone who has nothing to do with me?¡±¡± Zuo Yue said as she pulled her hand out of his. She even looked at him with a mocking expression and contempt. She turned around and stretched out her hand to hail a taxi. Since there would be people stopping her if she walked back, she might as well take a taxi. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her wrist. Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned her around. Zuo Yue was caught off guard and staggered. The moment she was forced to turn around, she fell into his arms before she could see the pair of dark eyes. Chapter 1109 - Chapter 1109: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1109: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Once again falling into a familiar yet unfamiliar embrace, Zuo Yue felt as if a string in her mind had suddenly tightened. She struggled to get out of his embrace and raised her hand to push him away, but Xu Chengfeng had already let go at the right time. Zuo Yue staggered two steps back and looked at his hand with lingering fear. Then, she suddenly looked up at his calm eyes and turned around without saying a word to stop the car. Xu Chengfeng had his hands in his trouser pockets. His relaxed posture did not look like he had to return to America because of an emergency. Instead, it looked like he had come back for a vacation. Zuo Yue did not want to study what he wanted to do, nor did she want to analyze the purpose of his return and every word he said now. She just wanted to get away from this man as soon as possible, as far away from him as possible! Just as Zuo Yue opened the door of the taxi and was about to get in, Xu Chengfeng did not stop her. Instead, he turned around and walked towards a restaurant at the side. As he walked, he said calmly,¡±¡±I got out of the car in a hurry just now, so I didn¡¯t wear a coat. My wallet and phone aren¡¯t with me.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze froze. She turned around abruptly and saw Xu Chengfeng walking into the high-class restaurant. At the same time, she looked around her body and realized that he really didn¡¯t have his phone or wallet with him, and he was indeed not wearing a jacket. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand tightened on her phone and she frowned. Under normal circumstances, she shouldn¡¯t care if he was planning to go to someone else¡¯s restaurant to eat and drink for free. In any case, even if he couldn¡¯t pay the bill in the end, no one would do anything to him. In this big Boston, he could just call anyone from the restaurant and leave immediately. Zuo Yue knew that this was the case, and she also knew that these words were deliberately said for her to hear. Her hand that was pinching the car door froze for a long time and did not move. ¡°Madam, do you want to take a ride?¡± The driver asked in the car. Where to? If I haven¡¯t thought it through, I¡¯ll go ahead and pull the other passengers.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zuo Yue came back to her senses and turned to nod at the chauffeur before opening the car door. She did not know why she did not sit in the car but dodged to the side. It wasn¡¯t until the taxi drove away that Left Moon realized what was going on. Why did she have to stay? Why did she ask the taxi to fetch the others? Suddenly, her heart felt stifled. Zuo Yue stood where she was, fuming. She turned to look at the restaurant again. Xu Chengfeng had already walked in and sat down by the window where she could see him. Even though he didn¡¯t have his wallet or phone with him, he was still so elegant and didn¡¯t feel guilty at all. The waiter and the other waiters came over to pour water and order food. He took the menu and looked at it casually. It seemed that he was really ordering food. Zuo Yue hardened her heart and decided to leave, not caring about him. Why would she care if such a cold-blooded and heartless person was eating free food here? What did it have to do with her? She didn¡¯t care at all now! Zuo Yue was about to go to the next intersection to hail a taxi, but her footsteps did not listen to her orders. She turned around and walked towards the restaurant. As she walked, she looked at the man who had already ordered breakfast by the window with an ugly expression and rolled her eyes in his direction. When they entered the restaurant, the waiter came over to greet them. Zuo Yue walked around them expressionlessly and went straight to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s table. She stood at the table and stared at him coldly. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her as if he was not surprised that she would come back. He calmly pointed at the seat opposite her with his eyes, indicating for her to sit down. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s lips curled up coldly. Suddenly, she took out her wallet from her bag. Then, she took out the black card that she had not touched for three years and slammed it on the table. Xu Chengfeng thought that she was here to pay the bill. However, when she moved her hand away from the card and saw the black card, his face instantly darkened. His hand, which was originally calmly holding the glass of water, froze. ¡°Three years ago, you owed me an amicable parting. Now, let¡¯s part on amicable terms. Uncle, at least I won¡¯t say goodbye like you did. This can be considered a final chapter for those crazy youths of mine.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was very soft, and there was a cold smile in her eyes. Just like that, she returned the card that he had placed in her hands three years ago. From then on, the two of them had nothing to do with each other. Not anymore. She no longer looked at his expression, nor did she look at the black unlimited card that had been sealed in her wallet for three years. Zuo Yue¡¯s lips curled into a disdainful smile. She picked up her bag again, turned around, and quickly walked out of the restaurant without looking back. The waiter stood at the side with a strange look on his face, but he did not dare to say anything. He had thought that the beauty had come in to have breakfast with this gentleman, but the current situation was a little confusing. ¡°Sir¡­¡± The waiter walked to the table and spoke softly. When he saw the expression in the man¡¯s eyes, he didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. Xu Chengfeng remained seated in his previous position, holding the glass in his hand as if nothing had changed. His eyes were staring at the black card on the table, as if he wanted to burn the card to ashes. ***** At night. Zuo Yue had a rare good night¡¯s sleep. Tomorrow was Sunday, and tonight was supposed to be the night when she could stay up all night. Perhaps it was because she had finally returned the heaviest burden in her wallet, but she actually slept so soundly tonight. She even went to bed after taking a shower when she got home. She only fell asleep at nine o¡¯clock in the evening. But the result was¡­ The next morning, Zuo Yue woke up at 3:30 am. Her biological clock prevented her from falling asleep. After she got up, she hugged her computer to look for work and study materials. After looking at them for a while, she felt a headache. It was drizzling outside the window. She got up and walked to the window to look out. The rain was not very heavy, so there was no need to close the window. However, looking at the rain outside the window, the sky was still dark and gray. After looking at it for a long time, he casually picked up a lady¡¯s cigarette on the European shelf and lit it. He frowned after taking a puff. In the end, he just played with the cigarette between his fingers. He only took a few puffs before the last cigarette burned to the end and was slowly extinguished. Originally, she had stayed in Boston to find some peace and quiet. She did not have to go back to Los Angeles to face her mother¡¯s concerned gaze, nor did she have to think about the past. However, that person had suddenly barged back into her life. In fact, he had always been in the opposite direction from her, but now, he seemed to have reversed the direction and was approaching her step by step. Chapter 1110 - Chapter 1110: Asking the Moon on the Wind (195) Chapter 1110: Asking the Moon on the Wind (195) Thinking of what happened outside the park yesterday morning, Zuo Yue suddenly frowned again. She looked at the cigarette that had already been extinguished and took out another one. After lighting it up, she stood in front of the window and took a few puffs. As she smoked, she looked at the smoke that was drifting in front of her eyes. It felt as if she had really become a different world from three years ago. How did she feel when her mother told her those words? At that time, she had searched for that person countless times in all the places where he could appear, but she could not find any trace of him. Moreover, she believed that he really wanted to never see her again in this life. What kind of feeling did she have? Zuo Yue took another drag of the cigarette and was about to turn on the air conditioner when her phone rang in the bedroom. Who was calling before dawn? She quickly put out the cigarette and threw it into the dustbin. She turned around and went into the bedroom. When she picked up her phone and saw the caller ID, she immediately rolled her eyes at the phone screen. She took the phone and walked back to the window. She looked out and closed the window with her hand. Then, she drew the curtains and picked up the phone. ¡°Why did you close the curtains? Did you know I was looking at you?¡± It was Yin Ruisheng¡¯s voice. ¡°If you suddenly called me at this time, you must have seen me by the window. If I don¡¯t close the curtains quickly, do I want you to continue peeping?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that after peeping for so long, I didn¡¯t see anything I particularly wanted to see other than you smoking and drinking alone at home. You¡¯re even wearing a bathrobe when you come out of the shower.¡± ¡± Hmph!¡± Zuo Yue snorted.¡± It¡¯s precisely because I know that there are people like you around. That¡¯s why I either close the curtains or put on my clothes and go out after showering. That¡¯s why I won¡¯t suffer such an invisible loss.¡±¡± ¡°Why are you smoking again?¡± Yin Ruisheng smiled. Recently, I often see you sitting at home drinking alone. Although you don¡¯t drink much, you seem to have something on your mind.¡± ¡°Is there? I don¡¯t think so¡­I¡¯m just used to being a person who can only be suppressed.¡± Zuo Yue answered ambiguously. Yin Ruisheng smiled again.¡± It¡¯s Sunday today. It¡¯s rare that I don¡¯t have any work on the weekend. Are you busy today?¡± If you¡¯re free, why don¡¯t you come out for a drink?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Zuo Yue leaned her head lazily on the back of the sofa.¡±¡±You¡¯re treating?¡± ¡°Of course. How can I let you pay for a drink with a girl?¡± ¡°The wine I drink is very expensive.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you afraid that I can¡¯t afford to hire you?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say I¡¯m treating you to drinks, even if I have to raise you, I can still afford it. Isn¡¯t it the Zuo family in Los Angeles? Our two families should be considered to be well-matched. If we really want to raise you, both parents won¡¯t have any objections, right?¡± ¡°.. Do you want to change the topic?¡± ¡°Are you afraid that I¡¯ll chase you?¡± ¡°No, there have been too many people chasing me these past few years. I¡¯m already numb to it. I just didn¡¯t want to hurt your face.¡±Zuo Yue laughed. Yin Ruisheng also smiled.¡± Alright, stop smoking. It¡¯s still early. Go back to sleep. I¡¯ll pick you up in the afternoon and take you out for a drink.¡±¡± ¡°Alright, you decide the location. I¡¯m only responsible for drinking.¡± ¡°Hurry up and go to sleep. You¡¯re so young, aren¡¯t you afraid of getting dark circles?¡± Zuo Yue smiled and explained. After all, she slept too early last night, so she was not sleepy at all. After hanging up the phone, she leaned back on the sofa and turned to look at the wine cabinet not far away. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, feeling that it was the right choice not to return to Los Angeles for the next few years. If her mother knew that not only did she often drink in the past few years, but she also learned to smoke, she might be so angry that she would directly lock her in the small attic in the backyard and forcefully discipline her. She fell in love with her uncle, played truant on the excuse of illness, and changed her studies for no reason¡­ Smoking, drinking¡­Staying up late¡­ A girl who could have received a high-level family education had ended up like this. It was really disappointing. Zuo Yuetan smiled and raised his hand to cover his forehead. ***** In Zuo Yue¡¯s impression, Yin Ruisheng had a very calm personality. She had thought that the car he drove would be a white one or something that looked more peaceful and handsome. She never expected it to be a coquettish blue Lamborghini. When she had just left the apartment and saw the car parked by the roadside, she looked in that direction with a strange expression. It was not until the car window rolled down and Yin Ruisheng took off his sunglasses and winked at her that Zuo Yue walked over with a look of amazement. When she sat in the front passenger seat, she turned to look at Yin Ruisheng¡¯s stylish shirt and slim jeans and could not help but exclaim,¡±¡±The entertainment industry can really change a person¡­It¡¯s simply a change from head to toe¡­¡± ¡°Are you saying that I¡¯ve changed a lot?¡± Yin Ruisheng chuckled.¡± ¡± Big, I feel like you¡¯ve turned from a brother next door to a playboy in the entertainment industry. You¡¯ve been in a lot of scandals over the past few years. If it weren¡¯t for the few good TV dramas and your good looks, you would have become the most popular scumbag in Korea.¡±¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to believe in those gossip news? It¡¯s all the entertainment companies ¡®doing. When I chose to be an artiste, I didn¡¯t expect it to be so complicated. I only came out to join the entertainment industry after falling out with my family.¡± Hearing this, Zuo Yue did not deliberately mock him anymore. However, when she saw Yin Ruisheng¡¯s style, Zuo Yue suddenly smiled again.¡±Which job did you just rush back from? Your hair is so high. If you really bring me out for a drink, people will probably think that I like non-mainstream people like you.¡± ¡°.. How is it non-mainstream?¡± Yin Ruisheng gave her a sideways glance.¡± It¡¯s just drinking. Aren¡¯t you picky about my hairstyle and style?¡± Shouldn¡¯t my girlfriend be picky about this?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue was speechless for a moment and used silence as a pause switch. Seeing that she was silent all of a sudden, Yin Ruisheng chuckled.¡±¡±What do you want to drink?¡± ¡°Whatever.¡± ¡°Do you want to go to a bar? Or maybe a simple meal and some red wine at the hotel?¡± ¡°Anything.¡± Yin Ruisheng was about to drive to the next road when he suddenly stopped. Zuo Yue looked up and saw that the big and luxurious bar opposite was the one she often went to. Her expression froze. Before she could say anything, Yin Ruisheng unbuckled his seatbelt.¡±Since it¡¯s all casual, let¡¯s find the nearest one. This bar opened a few years ago, and I heard from some friends that it¡¯s not bad. The boss is very good at dealing with people, and he seems to have a strong background. Drinking is very safe, and nothing will happen.¡± Zuo Yue looked at the entrance of the bar and did not get out of the car. She only said lightly,¡±¡±Don¡¯t you know which company is behind this bar?¡± Yin Ruisheng was about to open the car door when he paused and turned to look at her.¡±¡±Which one?¡± It seemed like he really didn¡¯t know. However, it made sense. The KP Corporation did not announce these things. If she had not heard from the bartender that day, she would not have thought that the real owner of this bar was that person. Chapter 1111 - Chapter 1111: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (196) Chapter 1111: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (196) ¡°Forget it.¡± Zuo Yue did not explain further. She just smiled and got out of the car, walking straight into the bar. Yin Ruisheng walked in. The bar was surrounded by flickering lights, but it was still dark. People who were not close to him would not recognize Yin Ruisheng, a popular Korean boy in the past two years. They wanted to bring Zuo Yue to find a card bag, but they saw Zuo Yue walk in as if she was familiar with the place. After entering a VIP room, Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and talked to Water while turning to look at Yin Ruisheng, who had not taken off his sunglasses. ¡°You¡¯re already here, aren¡¯t you afraid of being recognized?¡±Zuo Yue teased with a smile. Yin Ruisheng chuckled helplessly. It was not until Zuo Yue ordered some drinks and food and the waiter walked out that he took off his glasses and turned to sit on the sofa opposite her. He said softly,¡±Do you think it¡¯s that easy to be a celebrity? If he wanted to stir up a scandal with any woman, he had to get permission from the company. If someone took a photo of him drinking with her, the scandal would become famous again tomorrow. Then, the company would talk about this and that again. It was very annoying.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± You¡¯re the eldest son of the Yin family, after all. You¡¯re not interested in such a good family business, but you just had to come out and become an artiste. You¡¯re even restricted in every way. I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking.¡± ¡°I guess he was born rebellious, just like you.¡±Yin Ruisheng said with a half-smile, and the waiter brought the wine in. When the private room was only the two of them again, Yin Ruisheng poured a few bottles of wine and handed one to Zuo Yue. Seeing that she did not have any stage fright, he smiled and said,¡±¡±Aren¡¯t you afraid of drinking too much?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t drunk too much in front of you.¡±¡±Besides, you won¡¯t do anything to me even if I drink too much,¡± Zuo Yue said lightly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true. Times are different now. In the past, were I still the warm man who was worried about your feelings three years ago?¡± ¡°Right, you¡¯re not. You¡¯re a playboy with rumors flying around.¡±Zuo Yuechi laughed and looked towards the direction of the private room,¡±¡±Lock the door from the inside. I don¡¯t want any coincidences to happen again and meet someone I shouldn¡¯t meet here.¡± Yin Ruisheng raised his eyebrows at her words.¡±¡±Why?¡± Zuo Yue did not explain. She stood up and walked to the door. She locked the door and turned around to sit on the sofa. Yin Ruisheng looked at her for a while, then picked up the bottle of wine and took a sip. He asked casually,¡±I¡¯ve seen you smoking and drinking a lot recently. I can tell that you haven¡¯t been back to Los Angeles for the past few years.¡± ¡°Does smoking and drinking mean that I¡¯m not a decent woman?¡±Zuo Yue took a square cup from the side and poured herself a glass of Brandy before taking a sip. Then, she raised her eyebrows.¡±And if you didn¡¯t invite me out for a drink, I might not have agreed to meet you.¡± ¡°So heartless?¡± Yin Ruisheng snorted. It seems that I was too lazy to care about you three years ago and didn¡¯t plan to contact you for the time being, giving you more opportunities to indulge.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze slightly. She thought of the night Yin Ruisheng took her out of the villa three years ago. She thought of the alcohol they drank that night. She also thought of Xu Chengfeng who suddenly barged into the hotel and even pressed her against the door to kiss her. Zuo Yue lowered her eyes.¡± The private room was suddenly silent. Yin Ruisheng looked at her for a while and then picked up the automatic remote control to turn on the music in the private room. For a moment, the room was filled with popular European and American music in recent months. The two of them did not speak for a while, as if they were both worried about each other, but also as if they were simply catching up with each other through drinking. After some time, Yin Ruisheng opened another bottle of wine. He paused for a moment and suddenly said,¡±¡±You and Xu Chengfeng¡­¡± ¡°Never started.¡± Zuo Yue immediately opened her mouth to end this topic that should not be brought up. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s expression froze, and he suddenly looked up at her seemingly cold and calm expression. He didn¡¯t ask any more questions, and Zuo Yue didn¡¯t explain much either. When he looked at her, she took a sip of wine from her glass and put two small ice cubes into it. Yin Ruisheng suddenly couldn¡¯t drink anymore. He put the bottle to his mouth, paused for a moment, and then put it away on the table. He looked at Zuo Yue and said,¡±¡±Then why are you still in Boston?¡± ¡°Because I haven¡¯t graduated yet. Although I¡¯m doing an internship now, the school hasn¡¯t finished all my studies.¡±Zuo Yue laughed as she spoke. She looked so calm as if there was really no other reason. ¡°You haven¡¯t had any other boyfriends in the past few years?¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him. Now, you¡¯re actually concerned about my love life?¡± ¡°Looking at your current state, how can you not care? And rather than saying that I care, it¡¯s more like I¡¯m worried. Every time I see you smoking, I can¡¯t sleep. I really want to go over and knock on your door and take all the cigarettes in your house.¡±Yin Ruisheng laughed self-deprecatingly as he spoke.¡±Do you think I¡¯m born to be a traitor and a slut? I¡¯m in this circle and there are countless beautiful women around me. Yet, I always remember that you said that you would marry me when you grew up when you were young. Up until now, no woman has caught my eye.¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Except for you.¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She just drank quietly. It was impossible to tell if she had heard his vague confession or if she was pretending not to hear it. ¡°Two days ago, I had a job related to the GN Corporation. Because it was arranged by the company, even if I didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with the GN Corporation, I had no choice but to attend the job. That day, I saw Xu Chengfeng. Although I didn¡¯t greet him, he obviously saw me.¡±Yin Ruisheng handed her a new bottle of wine.¡±¡±Don¡¯t drink too much BranBrandy, it¡¯s too strong, and it¡¯s easy to hurt your stomach if you drink too much. If you want to drink it, drink some of this sweet wine, it¡¯ll still be intoxicating, but it won¡¯t harm your body.¡± Zuo Yue took it with a smile.¡± ¡°Will there be a chance to warm you up?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Every time I tell you about this, you don¡¯t say anything.¡±¡±Do you think I can force you to listen to my confession?¡± Yin Ruisheng chuckled.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not children anymore. What¡¯s the point of confessing?¡±Zuo Yue laughed as she put down her wine, but her eyes were slightly drunk.¡±The most important thing for me now is to work. The most important thing is to improve all my results during my internship and graduation. This way, I won¡¯t waste my three years of studying hard in Boston. At least I won¡¯t disappoint my mother because of me.¡± Yin Ruisheng seemed to hear something fishy from her words. He looked at her a few times, but did not directly say it. Chapter 1112 - Chapter 1112: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1112: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon ¡°Aren¡¯t you going back to Los Angeles?¡± ¡°At least for the next few years, unless I can let go of those grudges.¡± Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t ask about this so-called grudge. He merely looked at her for a while and raised the wine in his hand to face her. Zuo Yue also picked up the wine and clinked the bottle with her, then smiled and finished the wine in her glass. When she placed the glass on the coffee table, it made a crisp sound. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other for three years. It¡¯s meaningless to drink more. Why don¡¯t we change places and have a good chat?¡± Zuo Yue immediately shot him a glance. You were the one who brought me to the bar, and you want to change places after drinking so little?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t plan to take you to a hotel anyway.¡±Yin Ruisheng was the first to clarify his intentions.¡±¡±It¡¯s too noisy outside. I suddenly wanted to change to a quiet place to sit.¡± ¡°No matter where you go, it¡¯s not peaceful.¡±Zuo Yue lowered her head and tidied her hair.¡±¡±I can tell that you have something on your mind. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have suddenly come out to drink. If you want to tell me, you can tell me. If you don¡¯t want to tell me, you can continue to hold it in. After you drink to your heart¡¯s content, go back and sleep.¡± ¡°How can it be that simple?¡± Yin Ruisheng smiled helplessly.¡± It¡¯s my family¡¯s business. Although I came out to be a trainee and an artiste after we fell out a few years ago, some things at home are more serious now. They might temporarily give me pressure in the entertainment industry and force me to go back.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything at first, but after a while, she smiled.¡±¡± That¡¯s why people often envy us, who are born in various big families, for being born with a silver spoon in our mouths. But they never thought that we had to grow up and choose according to the strict path and the expectations of our families. We basically couldn¡¯t choose the path we wanted to take, and there weren¡¯t so many choices.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you also studying business and financial management now? No matter how he developed in Boston, he would eventually have to return to the Xu or Zuo family. Just like me now, no matter how much I flew outside, one day, my wings would still be broken.¡±Yin Ruisheng said as he drank a bottle of wine. ***** Two hours later. The summer wind blew. Zuo Yue and Yin Ruisheng supported each other as they staggered out of the bar. As soon as they arrived outside, Yin Ruisheng almost fell to the ground when the wind blew. Zuo Yue struggled to support him. She turned around and looked at the man who was almost half on top of her. She was so angry that she rolled her eyes. In the end, the man was already drunk to the point of fainting. She had to pay the bill herself. She had drunk so much, and she was still a student who had just started her internship. In the end, she had still spent the card her mother had left with her. Otherwise, with her current situation where she had not even received her first month¡¯s internship salary, she would not have been able to afford to hire this superstar. Previously, Yin Ruisheng had driven here. With his status as a popular celebrity, he really couldn¡¯t hire someone to drive for him. Although Zuo Yue had drunk a lot and was a little drunk and had a headache, at least she was a little sober. Zuo Yue took out the electronic car key from his pocket and walked towards the blue Lamborghini. After opening the door, she pushed him inside. ¡°Fasten your seatbelt.¡± She muttered and was about to step out of the car. Yin Ruisheng suddenly reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into his arms when Zuo Yue was unprepared. Zuo Yue fell into his arms and her face touched Yin Ruisheng¡¯s chin. She was about to push him away, but Yin Ruisheng, who was drunk, hugged her shoulders tightly and rested his chin on her neck. He had changed his usual gentle and calm attitude and forcefully pulled her into his arms. He reeked of alcohol and muttered,¡±¡± Zuo Yue, if you can stick by my side like you did when we were young, be my girlfriend, and be my daughter-in-law in the future, I won¡¯t be in the entertainment industry anymore. I¡¯ll go back to the Yin family and inherit the family business. You don¡¯t have to work anymore and you don¡¯t have to worry about the future. You can enjoy life in peace and enjoy the happiness that I¡¯ve brought you¡­Is it okay¡­¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. She raised her hand and patted his shoulder.¡±Don¡¯t you know that you drank too much? Why are you saying this for no reason?¡± As she was about to get up, Yin Ruisheng buried his face in her fair and fragrant neck.¡±¡±Three years ago, I didn¡¯t let go. I just saw that you didn¡¯t want to turn back. My heart ached so much that I wanted to kidnap you and take you away from that person. However, I couldn¡¯t bear to see you love so deeply and in so much pain. In the end, I could only choose not to see you and not be bothered by you¡­¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°But you said today that you two never started. I¡¯m really happy. Zuo Yue, I¡¯m really happy for you.¡± Yin Ruisheng hugged her waist tightly, as if he wanted to rub the smell of alcohol on her body, which was even stronger than hers, onto her, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.¡±¡± I¡¯m very happy that you didn¡¯t fall into depravity. I¡¯m very happy that you¡¯re still the cute Zuo Yue and not a girl who has fallen into the abyss of pain. Otherwise, my heart would ache to death¡­¡± ¡°Yin Ruisheng, don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart clenched when she heard that. Just as she tried to push his hand away, Yin Ruisheng hugged her tightly again. He even suddenly reached out and held the back of her head. He turned around and kissed her cheek. His voice lingered on her cheek.¡±Zuo Yue, give me a chance. Do you want to go back to Korea with me? If you don¡¯t want to, I can settle down in America. Let¡¯s be together. Give me a reason to leave the entertainment industry¡­¡± Zuo Yue was about to turn her face away, but Yin Ruisheng¡¯s kiss was already close to the corner of her mouth. Just as she was about to force a kiss, Zuo Yue pushed him away forcefully, but Yin Ruisheng once again pulled her back into his arms. She did not know if he was trying to break a certain relationship with her under the influence of alcohol, but in short, Zuo Yue could not win against his strength. She was so angry that she forcefully pushed his face away. The two of them were entangled by the side of the car. In the eyes of the passers-by, it was as if a young man and woman were kissing each other by the car door. Zuo Yue could not struggle free and was about to raise her bag and smash it on his head. Suddenly, a force came from behind and pulled her away from Yin Ruisheng¡¯s arms. She was dragged back two steps. Before she could react, her vision blurred. The person behind her had already pulled her into his arms and even pulled her far away from the car door. Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who had suddenly appeared. She knew that she could not come to this bar again. She was afraid that she would accidentally bump into him here one day, but in the end¡­ In the end, she was still in shock when Xu Chengfeng almost crushed her wrist. At the same time, he lowered his eyes, and the coldness in his eyes shot into her eyes. Zuo Yue was so shocked that she opened her mouth, but she could not say a word to explain the situation just now. Chapter 1113 - Chapter 1113: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1113: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon ¡°Zuo Yue¡­Zuo Yue?¡± Yin Ruisheng¡¯s arms were suddenly empty, so he kept muttering her name in the car. He opened his misty eyes and looked around until he saw Zuo Yue outside the car and Xu Chengfeng who came out of nowhere. He immediately narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to knock on his head twice. Then, he turned around and was about to get out of the car. Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist was tightly wrapped, and it hurt so much that her eyes were almost red. She gritted her teeth and tried to free her hand from his grip. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand was like an iron clamp that firmly restrained her. At the same time, he stared at her as if he wanted to swallow her alive. Zuo Yue felt like she was about to freeze to death from his gaze. She could not break free and could only struggle as she said,¡±¡±Let go!¡± ¡°Let her go!¡± Yin Ruisheng had also stumbled out of the car. He staggered in their direction and reached out to push Xu Chengfeng away. However, Yin Ruisheng had drunk too much alcohol. Even if he had some skills normally, he was no match for Xu Chengfeng now. Xu Chengfeng only moved slightly, and Yin Ruisheng had already fallen to the other side. At the same time, Xu Chengfeng exerted a little strength in his hand, and Zuo Yue leaned into his arms. She tried her best to retreat, but Xu Chengfeng still forced her to come close to him. The frost in his eyes fell on her body coldly. When he opened his mouth, his cold voice almost came out from between his teeth.¡±Zuo Yue!¡± Zuo Yue could probably guess the reason for his current attitude, but she found it ridiculous. She sneered at him.¡±Xu Chengfeng, no matter what I¡¯m doing, no matter what I do with any man, it seems to have nothing to do with you. So, other than gritting your teeth and calling my name, there¡¯s nothing else you can say, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold and emotionless, and it was impossible to tell if he had touched his sore spot. Zuo Yue was still looking at her with a cold smile.¡± So can I trouble you not to suddenly appear in front of me and affect my life?¡± Let go of your hand! I¡¯ve said this countless times over the past few days. You¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, Yin Ruisheng suddenly turned around and punched Xu Chengfeng in the face.¡±¡±Bastard! Let her go!¡± Zuo Yue was so shocked that she was speechless. She stared blankly at the man who had been punched but still looked at her coldly. She then looked at the hand that was tightly gripping her wrist and frowned.¡±Xu¡­¡± However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly let go of Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand the moment he pounced on her again. He turned around and fiercely punched Yin Ruisheng in the face. Yin Ruisheng didn¡¯t have much strength because he was drunk, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s punch directly sent him flying back far away. He staggered and sat heavily on the ground. The corners of his mouth and cheeks instantly turned red, and there was even a possibility that he was about to bleed. Zuo Yue was shocked and quickly ran over. She squatted down to check the wound on Yin Ruisheng¡¯s face and tried to help him up.¡±Brother Rui Sheng! How are you?¡± Yin Ruisheng turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. In an instant, he was almost sober. He frowned and his eyes became much clearer. He raised his hand and grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist.¡±I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him with a pained expression. At the same time, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng. She saw the man who had always played the role of rationality and cold-blooded in her life now had a cold and cold figure. She glared at him angrily.¡±You knew that he was drunk, but you didn¡¯t hit him too hard. How could you hit him so hard?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were cold as he saw the anger in her eyes. He walked over step by step. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and her eyes were filled with anger and hatred.¡±Do you know what kind of circle he¡¯s in now? How could she hit his face like that! Xu Chengfeng, you did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you?!¡± ¡°If you say one more word, I will immediately make him unable to survive in the entertainment industry. Let alone relying on his face to survive, he won¡¯t even have the chance to rely on his mouth to survive!¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were like a storm that blew on Zuo Yue¡¯s face. Zuo Yue¡¯s breathing stopped, and the hand on Yin Ruisheng¡¯s shoulder tightened even more. She knew that Xu Chengfeng was not someone to be trifled with, and she also knew that even if Yin Ruisheng¡¯s family was big in Korea, it would be a joke to fight against a gang leader like him. She could not drag Yin Ruisheng down. However, Yin Ruisheng sat on the ground and suddenly chuckled. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze paused. She turned around and saw that half of his face was swollen. The corner of his mouth was even stained with blood, but he was smiling as if he was the winner. She quickly raised her hand and touched his face.¡±Brother Ruisheng, I¡¯ll send you to the hospital and let the doctor think of a way to treat you. You should be able to recover soon.¡± Yin Ruisheng pulled her hand down again, but this time, he held it tightly in his hand. Then, he looked up and sneered at Xu Chengfeng, who was already approaching. He looked at the countless storms in his eyes and said,¡±¡±Mister Xu seems to be very different from three years ago¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hand paused for a moment when she heard his words that seemed to contain a deeper meaning. Xu Chengfeng, however, looked at him coldly without any change in his expression.¡±Didn¡¯t you want to fight? Stand up, why are you talking so much nonsense?¡± Zuo Yue completely ignored Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze and the deep meaning in their words. She only reached out to help Yin Ruisheng up, until Yin Ruisheng was helped up by her. At the same time, she reached out and hugged her waist like a possessor. Then, she looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s increasingly cold eyes with a smile that was not a smile. She sneered and mocked,¡±What¡¯s wrong? He wanted to get back what he had heartlessly thrown away? Do you think this is still three years ago? People will grow up eventually, and they will also be so cold that they can no longer be warmed back. The Zuo Yue I know is a girl who dares to love and hate. Since you were able to put her in a helpless situation three years ago, do you think she will turn around and look at you again?¡± ¡°If you want to die, I can fulfill your wish.¡±Xu Chengfeng stepped forward. Zuo Yue instinctively stretched out her arms and stood in front of Yin Ruisheng. She looked up at the man who was much taller than her. Even though his anger and coldness made her heart tremble, she still stood in front of Yin Ruisheng resolutely. Her eyes were even more intense than his. The distance and rejection in her eyes were obviously piercing. Xu Chengfeng looked into her eyes as if he wanted to freeze her soul. Zuo Yue glared at him and said with a strong voice,¡±¡±We¡¯re standing outside a bar invested by your KG Corporation right now. Let¡¯s not look at our past relationship. Just look at the present. You¡¯re hurting people in your own territory. Xu Chengfeng, you¡¯re really laughable now.¡± Chapter 1114 - Chapter 1114: Asking the Moon on the Wind (199) Chapter 1114: Asking the Moon on the Wind (199) Zuo Yue¡¯s sarcastic words were like a sharp blade, but Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly, as if he did not intend to retreat because of the sarcasm in her words. Instead, he looked even colder at Yin Ruisheng, who was protected by her behind. Yin Ruisheng raised his hand and pulled Zuo Yue to the side. Then, he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. He said softly,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, go to my car first. You have nothing to do here.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first!¡± Zuo Yue went to pull him back. Yin Ruisheng¡¯s lips curled up slightly and he held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand. At the same time, he suddenly said ambiguously and gently,¡±¡±No need, dear. I¡¯m afraid I don¡¯t have to stay in the entertainment industry anymore after I have you. Let alone being hit on the face, even if there¡¯s an additional injury that can¡¯t be healed, it can¡¯t compare to your life of stability. Be good and wait for me in the car.¡± Zuo Yue looked at Yin Ruisheng, but Yin Ruisheng did not look at her eyes. He only held her hand and squeezed it faintly, meaning that if she did not want to have anything to do with Xu Chengfeng, she should not talk anymore. Zuo Yue lowered her eyes slightly and avoided Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze. After hesitating for a moment, she withdrew her hand from Yin Ruisheng¡¯s hand and said softly,¡±¡±Alright.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the blue Lamborghini without looking at Xu Chengfeng again. Because of Zuo Yue¡¯s cooperation, Yin Ruisheng stood straight even though his face was injured. At the same time, he smiled coldly at Xu Chengfeng who was standing not far away from him.¡±Mr. Xu, your niece is finally willing to be with me as you wished. Shouldn¡¯t you give her your blessings?¡± However, Xu Chengfeng only spat out four words lightly,¡±¡±You overestimate yourself.¡± Zuo Yue ignored the two men behind her. After she got into the car, she closed the door to isolate the sound outside and did not look at the situation over there. She merely looked at the road on the other side of the car and the passing cars. A certain feeling kept flooding her heart, as if it was sour, painful, and all her senses were invaded by the past. A few minutes later, the door of the passenger seat suddenly opened. She thought Yin Ruisheng had returned, but when she turned around, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure.¡±You¡­¡± ¡°Get out of the car.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was cold and stern, with a hint of warning. Zuo Yue suddenly looked behind him, but Yin Ruisheng was nowhere to be seen. She immediately reached out to push him away, and at the same time, she looked over and asked worriedly,¡±¡±Where is Yin Ruisheng? Where did you take him? Where is he?¡± Xu Chengfeng stood by the car door and did not avoid it. Zuo Yue pushed him anxiously.¡±Go away! Don¡¯t block me! Where is Yin Ruisheng?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hand pushed him hard. Xu Chengfeng did not move at first. Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her into his arms fiercely. Zuo Yue crashed heavily into him. She looked up and glared at him angrily. Xu Chengfeng pulled her out of the car and closed the door at the same time. ¡°What are you doing? Xu Chengfeng! I don¡¯t remember you being such an unreasonable person! I asked you where Yin Ruisheng went! It¡¯s only been a few minutes. Where did you take him?¡± As she struggled in front of him, she turned to look in the direction where Yin Ruisheng was just a moment ago and scolded angrily,¡±¡±If you dare to touch even a hair on his head, Xu Chengfeng, you¡­¡± ¡°You know that this bar is under the name of the GN Corporation, yet you still dare to come here to drink with that Yin guy?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze landed on her body, and at the same time, he stared at her coldly.¡±¡±In the middle of the night, the two of them were drunk and pulling at the car door. Do you think it¡¯s normal for me to turn a blind eye or to come and take you away now?¡± ¡°Of course, I turned a blind eye! What right do you have to control me?¡± Zuo Yue angrily shook his hand.¡±¡±Are you related to me? Three years ago, you were the one who left without a word. What right do you have to control me now? Who are you now?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes darkened. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and turned to leave. ¡°What are you doing? Let go of me! I¡¯m not going with you!¡± Zuo Yue hurriedly stood by the car. She had not figured out where Yin Ruisheng had been taken to. ¡°Where did you take Yin Ruisheng? How could he disappear in the blink of an eye! Let go of me!¡± Zuo Yue stubbornly stood where she was, but Xu Chengfeng was tall and had long legs. It was effortless for him to drag her away. With just a gentle tug, Zuo Yue¡¯s feet, which were trying to take root on the ground, had already lost their ability to move forward. She still wanted to stand, but Xu Chengfeng suddenly seemed to have gone mad. He pulled her into his arms and held her shoulder with one hand as he led her in the direction of the bar. Zuo Yue could not break free and turned around angrily to bite his shoulder. Just as she bit him, she suddenly felt a pain in her chin. Xu Chengfeng mercilessly pinched her chin and cheeks. He lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes that were burning with hatred and anger.¡±I wouldn¡¯t hurt a popular idol in Korea for no reason, but if you¡¯re still angry at me because of that kid, I might break the rule.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him in disbelief. Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t do anything rash!¡± Xu Chengfeng sneered at her warning.¡±¡±Are you so worried about his safety? What¡¯s your relationship?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue stiffened her face and said coldly,¡±It¡¯s the kind of relationship you see, and I don¡¯t seem to have to explain it to you.¡±¡± When Xu Chengfeng heard her words, he suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Zuo Yue could clearly see the ice in his eyes and immediately did not dare to act recklessly. After all, if he really wanted to do anything to Yin Ruisheng, it would be a big problem for the Korean Yin family. Moreover, how could she let him hold Yin Ruisheng hostage! Her chin was in pain from being pinched, but she endured the pain and looked up at him.¡±I¡¯ve already made myself very clear. Since you chose to leave in that way, there¡¯s nothing between us now. You can¡¯t hurt others, and you don¡¯t have the right to hurt me!¡± ¡°In your eyes, am I hurting you?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was much softer, but it was still so low and cold that no one could tell his true emotions. ¡°At least you¡¯re hurting me now.¡±Zuo Yue glanced at his hand that was pinching her chin, then looked coldly at his cold and handsome face.¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng, you left without an explanation, and now you suddenly barged back into my life without my permission. Do you think I still have the childishness and patience I had three years ago to deal with you? Please don¡¯t disturb me again. No matter what your reason is, or if it¡¯s just because you¡¯re apologizing for what happened three years ago, I don¡¯t need anything. I just want you to stay far away from me and leave my life! Leave completely!¡± Chapter 1115 - Chapter 1115: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (200) Chapter 1115: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (200) ¡°Do you understand what I said?¡± Zuo Yue looked coldly at the man who appeared in front of her again and again.¡±¡±Please treat me a little better. Don¡¯t ever appear again. I don¡¯t want to see you!¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time. She could not see the emotions in his eyes and was too lazy to look at him. She only sneered at him.¡± Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t think that the world is revolving around you. I really don¡¯t want to know why you¡¯re back now, but I don¡¯t want to know the reason, even if¡­¡± After a pause, she suddenly said softly,¡±Even if there comes a day where we are no longer related by blood, even if we can be together, I don¡¯t want to be with you anymore. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Say it again.¡± There seemed to be something breaking in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes. The hand on her wrist seemed to be able to crush her wrist in an instant. It was so heavy. Zuo Yue smiled and looked away. She looked at the traffic in the middle of the road in the distance and said in a calm voice,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to be with you anymore. Even if I¡¯m not the daughter of the Zuo family, even if you¡¯re not the heir of the Xu family, even if we¡¯re not related by blood, I don¡¯t want to have any contact with you anymore.¡± The strong palm on her wrist gradually loosened. Zuo Yue quickly pulled her hand away as soon as she regained her freedom. Before she could pull her hand away, Xu Chengfeng looked at her indifferently and slowly put down his hand. Zuo Yue watched as he slowly lowered his hand. She did not know why, but she actually felt a little frightened. The moment she saw his hand gently clench into a fist, she suddenly said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t hurt Yin Ruisheng! Mr. Xu, please let us go! Let go of everyone related to me!¡± Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment before he said softly,¡±¡±Let¡¯s go.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned and looked into his dark eyes. ¡°Leave now. If you stay in front of me for another second, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll do something that even I can¡¯t control.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him in disbelief. Her heart paused, and she slowly took a few steps back. She looked at him hesitantly. She was just confused before, but now the question mark in her heart was even bigger. Did she hit the nail on the head just now? Why did he come back? Why didn¡¯t he avoid her now? Everything that had happened over the past few days kept replaying in her mind. However, when the night breeze blew past, she looked up again. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze was still on her, as if she was just a stranger who had nothing to do with him. ¡°Yin Ruisheng, he¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t die.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her again, then turned around and left after saying those words coldly. Zuo Yue looked around again, but still did not see Yin Ruisheng. She frowned and wanted to ask him where he had taken Yin Ruisheng, but when she turned around, she saw that Xu Chengfeng had already opened the door of the black Porsche opposite the bar. His figure was instantly isolated by the closed door. ¡°Leave, leave immediately. If you stay in front of me for another second, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll do something that even I can¡¯t control.¡± This sentence kept repeating in her ears. Zuo Yue slowly moved her gaze away from the black Porsche and turned around to walk towards Yin Ruisheng¡¯s Lamborghini. Although she didn¡¯t know where he had been taken to, since Xu Chengfeng said that he wouldn¡¯t die, he probably wouldn¡¯t do anything. She thought about it and drove the car all the way back to her residence. Anyway, Yin Ruisheng knew where she lived and would come to her to get the car when he came back. After parking the car at the apartment, Zuo Yue got out of the car. Just as he was about to enter the apartment, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at his wrist. In her impression, Xu Chengfeng had never hurt her. No matter what had happened, no matter how many life and death situations she had experienced, as long as he was by her side, she would always feel a sense of security. He would not even touch a hair on her head. Even when the arrow was already on the bowstring at the Rolls Hotel, he could still endure such great pain to protect her everything. However, when she said those words just now, she really felt that her wrists were about to break in his hands. Looking at the obvious marks on her wrist and recalling Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze earlier, Zuo Yue raised her hand and gently stroked her wrist before slowly walking into the apartment. .. She did not sleep well for the entire night. Her mind was filled with the past that she had not deliberately thought about in the past three years. She was still indulgent at the age of willfulness, and she dared to speak of her love despite the constraints of morality. She finally fell asleep in the middle of the night. However, not long after she fell asleep, she was suddenly awakened by the ringing of her phone. Zuo Yue opened her eyes abruptly and realized that her pillow had become wet unknowingly. The phone was still ringing. Zuo Yue slowly sat up and picked up the phone. When she saw that it was Yin Ruisheng calling, she quickly picked it up. ¡°Hello? How are you? Where are you now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s at your door. Come and open the door.¡±Yin Ruisheng¡¯s voice came from the phone. The surroundings sounded empty and quiet, as if he was really in the corridor outside her door. Zuo Yue was stunned for a few seconds before she quickly lifted the blanket and got up. She put on a thin coat over her nightgown and rushed to the door. The moment she opened the door, she saw Yin Ruisheng. Half of his face was still red and swollen, but there did not seem to be any additional injuries on his body. Moreover, he looked to be in good condition. He was just a little drunk and did not look too good. Seeing him standing peacefully in front of her door, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart, which had been on tenterhooks for the entire night, finally settled down. She heaved a sigh of relief and said directly,¡±¡± Wait for me, I¡¯ll get you the car keys.¡±¡± Yin Ruisheng raised his eyebrows.¡± I¡¯m already here. You just want me to wait outside for you to get my car keys?¡±¡± Zuo Yue paused. Even if you go in early in the morning, I don¡¯t have anything to eat or drink here.¡± ¡°I tossed and turned the whole night. I came to find you early in the morning after I woke up. You didn¡¯t even let me in. Zuo Yue, you¡¯re really hard-hearted now.¡± Being scolded so early in the morning, Zuo Yue pursed her lips helplessly and turned to the side to make way for the door.¡±¡±Come in.¡± Only then did Yin Ruisheng smile at her with satisfaction. He gathered his casual jacket and walked in. After entering the door, he walked to the sofa and glanced at the electronic car key on the coffee table.¡±But you¡¯re quite reliable now. You even knew to drive my car back.¡± Zuo Yue walked into the bathroom and washed her face with cold water before walking out.¡±¡±Where did you go last night? Did they do anything to you?¡± The smile in Yin Ruisheng¡¯s eyes instantly disappeared. He was obviously unwilling to mention this matter. He looked back at her and said,¡±Do I look like someone did something to me?¡± Chapter 1116 - Chapter 1116: Asking the Moon on the Wind (201) Chapter 1116: Asking the Moon on the Wind (201) ¡°It¡¯s exactly because you don¡¯t seem to be doing anything, that¡¯s why I¡¯m curious about where you went last night.¡±Zuo Yue turned around and poured a glass of water. She placed it on the coffee table.¡±Well, I don¡¯t have much to eat here so early. Drink some water first. It¡¯s quite pitiful to see you suffer the whole night.¡± To be described as pitiful, Yin Ruisheng smiled helplessly. He sat on the sofa and said,¡±¡±I was indeed taken away by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s men last night. However, I was a little drunk at that time. I only remember that they took me to the car. After that, I struggled a little and was knocked unconscious.¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± You fainted?¡± ¡°Yeah, I was too drunk last night, so I didn¡¯t know what to say. I scolded them in the car, and they knocked me unconscious.¡±Yin Ruisheng sighed and laughed.¡± But when I woke up this morning, I was in a suite in a hotel under the KG Corporation. I didn¡¯t have any injuries on me, and they didn¡¯t do anything to me. It seems that they only sent me away temporarily last night.¡± When I woke up in the morning, I left the hotel directly. When I returned to the bar, I didn¡¯t see a car, so I guessed that you must have driven back, so I came straight to you.¡± After confirming what had happened to him last night, Zuo Yue nodded.¡±It¡¯s good that nothing happened. I was afraid that they would cut you into pieces.¡± Yin Ruisheng looked at her.¡± Zuo Yue, actually, some of the things I said after drinking last night were true. It was just that after drinking, I said it a little emotionally. However, every word came from the bottom of my heart. I won¡¯t force you to do anything, but I feel very strange now.¡± ¡°What¡¯s strange?¡± ¡± I remember that Xu Chengfeng avoided you back then. He hasn¡¯t returned to the States in the past few years. Why is his attitude towards you so¡­¡± There seems to be a huge change. Just like you said, you suspect that he might cut me into pieces. That¡¯s obviously because you can sense him¡­¡± Yin Ruisheng paused and then continued,¡±Jealousy.¡±¡± Zuo Yue sat on the other side of the sofa with an unchanging expression. She curled her lips.¡±So what? It has nothing to do with me.¡± ¡°What did you guys talk about after he sent me away last night?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Yin Ruisheng was stunned. He picked up the glass and took a sip of water.¡±Although I don¡¯t know Xu Chengfeng that well, I can sense that he must have something important to tell you when he sent me away last night.¡± Zuo Yue turned to look at him,¡±Is that so?¡±¡± Yin Ruisheng raised his eyebrows.¡± Think about it. He drove me away for no reason. He didn¡¯t hit me or do anything to me. It¡¯s obvious that he thinks I¡¯m an eyesore.¡±¡±He laughed as he spoke.¡± It¡¯s obvious that he has something to tell you. It should be about something between the two of you, but I can¡¯t guess what he wants to tell you.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly fell silent. Last night, Xu Chengfeng seemed like he really wanted to say something, but later¡­ Later, because of what she said, his gaze made her feel dazed. The moment he let go of his hand, the feeling of fear¡­ ¡°So now, no matter what Xu Chengfeng wants, you won¡¯t get close to him anymore, and you don¡¯t want to have anything to do with him anymore?¡±Yin Ruisheng suddenly asked. Zuo Yue glanced at him and did not answer. After a while, she smiled lightly and still did not say anything. She just casually picked up a box of women¡¯s cigarettes from the coffee table. Seeing her actions, Yin Ruisheng frowned and grabbed her hand.¡±¡±Why are you smoking so early? I just drank last night, and I¡¯ve been noticing you smoking more and more frequently through the window recently. What problem can smoking solve?¡± ¡°If smoking can¡¯t solve the problem, can listening to your nagging solve it?¡±Zuo Yue pushed his hand away.¡± You better mind your own business. Look at your face. You drank so much last night. You were indeed irrational after drinking. Who gave you the courage to fight Xu Chengfeng?¡±¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Am I that weak in your eyes?¡±Yin Ruisheng laughed.¡± That¡¯s because I drank too much. I still don¡¯t remember how I did it, or how I was beaten up.¡±¡± Zuo Yue thought about it and did not answer. After taking two puffs of the cigarette, she frowned and put out the cigarette impatiently.¡±Forget it, it¡¯s all because of me. I caused you to be injured last night. I reckon you won¡¯t be able to attend any jobs for the next week. Didn¡¯t you come to America to study music and develop into the singing industry? She could take advantage of these few days to learn vocal music properly. She didn¡¯t have to show her face in public, so she quickly went to do something.¡± Seeing that she really wanted to respond and consider what he said last night, Yin Ruisheng sat quietly for a moment and said,¡±¡±Did you know that the bar belongs to the KP Group last night?¡± ¡°.. Yes.¡± ¡°So you locked the door and were afraid that others would come in, but you were actually guarding against Xu Chengfeng?¡± ¡°.. It¡¯s not considered a precaution.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. For a moment, she did not know how to answer this question that even she did not know how to answer. .. Zuo Yue only packed her things and prepared to go to work when she finally sent Yin Ruisheng, whose face was half swollen, away. She had only been working in the company for a week, so she couldn¡¯t be late on Monday. However, when she took a taxi to the company, she kept thinking about what had happened yesterday. The feelings she had yesterday when she was hesitating in front of the bar, the feelings she had yesterday when she locked the door in the private room, and the feelings she had yesterday when she looked at Xu Chengfeng when he let go. As soon as he arrived at the company, he sorted out the information he needed for work and handed it to the planning department with the information from the secretary department and the business department. As soon as he arrived at the planning department¡¯s office, he heard a few female employees chattering about something in fluent English. ¡°I heard that Boss Xu of the HR Group will be leaving Boston in a few days. I wonder if the general manager has completed the cooperation project with the HR Group.¡± ¡± It should have been a success. If it hadn¡¯t been a success, a mysterious person like Boss Xu of the KG Corporation wouldn¡¯t have suddenly appeared in person at our KIng Corporation. He must be sincere if he¡¯s willing to appear and even come personally to discuss the collaboration project¡­¡± ¡°If the project is successful, our salary for the second half of the year should at least double! This was because the project with KP Group was a project that would definitely increase their value and salary! King Corporation would definitely make a huge leap in the international arena from now on! Our group will be one step closer to becoming internationally renowned!¡± ¡± That CEO Xu looks very young. I heard that the KP Group is not a family business, but a financial tycoon group founded by CEO Xu in Russia. In just ten years, he has already become a giant in the global financial world. I wonder if he¡¯s married¡­¡± Chapter 1117 - Chapter 1117: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (202) Chapter 1117: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (202) ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be married, right? He looked to be less than 30 years old. Generally, such successful men would get married very late.¡± ¡°I heard that his thirtieth birthday is in a few months.¡± ¡°Really? He looked very young, at most twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, but he was so handsome and manly!¡± Zuo Yue stood outside the office door for a while and left in silence. ***** Two days later. On Wednesday morning, the last important meeting between the two companies was held. The business management and general manager of Yigan Company were ready to welcome Xu Chengfeng. However, at the appointed time, a black Maybach stopped opposite Kng Corporation. Only Ainte and a few secretaries and assistants who usually followed them got out of the car. As Zuo Yue worked in the business department, although she did not have to interfere too much, the business project this time had some connections with her department. Therefore, the department manager allowed them to follow the company¡¯s senior executives to witness the final moment of the business project. Zuo Yue stood behind the crowd and saw Ainte¡¯s expressionless face when he got out of the car. The general manager waited for a while and did not see Xu Chengfeng in person. Then, he went up to him and asked about the situation politely. Ainte took off his sunglasses and said calmly,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry to have kept you waiting. I¡¯ll be signing the project with your company today.¡± The general manager was stunned for a moment. In his impression, Xu Chengfeng was not the kind of person who would joke about such an important matter. Although Aite was a very important person around Xu Chengfeng, it was too¡­ She didn¡¯t take it seriously¡­ ¡± General Manager, please don¡¯t misunderstand.¡± Ainte ignored the confused looks of the people around him and whispered something into the general manager¡¯s ear. The general manager nodded understandingly.¡±Mr. Ayt, please.¡± Ainte also nodded and walked straight into the company. Before he walked into the company¡¯s main entrance, the corner of his eyes seemed to sweep over Zuo Yue¡¯s body, but it was just a faint glance, and he walked straight in. Zuo Yue looked indifferently in the direction of Aite, as if it had nothing to do with her. She followed her colleagues from the business department into the door. The work continued as scheduled. In the afternoon, Zuo Yue came out of the office. She thought that she and the other interns did not need to observe the business cooperation anymore. She was about to go to the backup data room near the conference room to get something. As soon as he walked out of the elevator on the floor where the conference room was located, he almost bumped into Ainte, who had just walked past the elevator door. There were a few assistants behind him. When they saw her, they seemed to be calm, but they stopped in their tracks. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zuo Yue simply thought that she had bumped into them. After nodding and apologizing, she turned around and headed straight for the information room. Ayt looked at her back with a cold expression and a hint of dissatisfaction. He put one hand on his waist and suddenly turned around to say to the people behind him,¡±You guys go first. I¡¯ll be there later.¡± ¡°Alright, Mr. Ayt.¡± Zuo Yue heard a voice behind her and instinctively had a premonition. She quickly walked into the data room and reached out to open the door. Suddenly, it was dark behind her. The door was pressed down by someone behind her and could not be opened. She paused and looked up at the arm above her head, then turned to look at Ainte behind her. Ainte looked at her indifferently.¡± ¡°Ait.¡± Zuo Yue said softly,¡± I¡¯ve already made things clear with your BOSS. Since Xu Chengfeng has not appeared again, we¡¯ve decided to have nothing to do with each other. Please don¡¯t interfere in our matters. Since you¡¯re here to cooperate on a project, do your part and don¡¯t interfere in things that you shouldn¡¯t.¡±¡± Ayt looked at her and suddenly sneered.¡±Are you warning me not to meddle in other people¡¯s business?¡± Zuo Yue was silent for a moment.¡± I didn¡¯t mean it that way. However, Ainte, my matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, this is the company. I hope you can¡­¡± ¡°I know this is a company. If this wasn¡¯t the company you¡¯re interning at, do you think a company with a large international financial network like the KP Group would be interested in a small group like the King Group that is still struggling to break into the international group?¡±Ainte seemed to be pointing at something as if it was useless. Zuo Yueting¡¯s hand slowly tightened. ¡°I don¡¯t intend to meddle in other people¡¯s business. You¡¯re right, your business has nothing to do with me, but Boss¡¯s business is a big deal. I can watch you being heartless, but I can¡¯t just watch Boss suffer and not lend a helping hand.¡± Zuo Yue seemed to have exploded because of his words. She suddenly raised her hand and swung his arm away.¡±I¡¯m heartless? Ait, are you being reasonable? Am I the heartless one? Am I the heartless one? The person who was abandoned like a worn-out shoe was me, Zuo Yue! I¡¯m trying to avoid getting hurt again, so I¡¯m staying away from you. Besides, aren¡¯t you leaving the United States soon? We¡¯ve already come this far. Isn¡¯t it better for us to still maintain a state of no contact with each other? What right do you have to stand in front of me and say that I¡¯m heartless! Was the person who stabbed him now blaming the injured person for splashing blood all over him?!¡± Seeing her enraged look, Ayt sneered.¡±I thought you didn¡¯t feel anything at all. You can be so calm every day as if nothing had happened.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him coldly.¡± It¡¯s your words that have gone too far. Otherwise, I believe that I can speak to you calmly.¡±¡± ¡°Boss has been unconscious for an entire day. You can stay calm, but I can¡¯t.¡±Eit laughed. Zuo Yue turned around with a cold face, wanting to avoid him. However, just as she was about to turn the handle of the data room, she suddenly paused and turned to look at him.¡±What did you just say?¡± Ainte had a good build, belonging to the slender type. He looked at the trace of doubt in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes calmly.¡±¡± People often have no choice but to retreat to protect another person¡¯s world because they have no choice at a certain time of the year. However, when they can start making their own choices, they are willing to come back and find the little girl he lost. However, this little girl¡¯s heart is as hard as a rock now.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense. I asked you what you were talking about just now. What do you mean by unconscious for an entire day?¡± Zuo Yue turned around and looked at him seriously.¡±¡±Ai Xing, I¡¯m not in the mood to joke with you!¡± ¡°That serious? I thought you didn¡¯t take it seriously.¡±¡± What?¡± Ainte was still laughing.¡± Based on your understanding of Boss, is he the type of person to be willful and not show up at such an important occasion?¡± He was sick. A few days ago, it was just a simple cold. Since yesterday, he had been running a high fever. He had been in a coma today and had not woken up yet.¡± Chapter 1118 - Chapter 1118: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (203) Chapter 1118: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (203) Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze froze. In her impression, Xu Chengfeng had never been sick. He was like a strong person who could protect any weak person around him and block the cold and bitter rain. However, she never thought that he would fall sick one day. ¡°Some people are not sick, but once they get sick, they can almost lose half their lives.¡±Ainte said lightly and looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes again.¡±Since Boss is the heartless person you mentioned, it seems that even if he dies from a fever, it has nothing to do with you.¡± With that, Ainte moved his hand away from the door behind her and turned to leave. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door in a daze for a while before she suddenly looked up at his back.¡±¡±If you¡¯re so seriously ill, why don¡¯t you go to the hospital?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Ainte stopped in his tracks and said coldly with his back facing her,¡±¡±Maybe it¡¯s because it¡¯s rare for him to fall sick, and it¡¯s rare for him to be so distracted by certain people and certain things. Maybe he can fall asleep like this. Maybe this feeling of not knowing the world can help him escape from too many things. No matter how strong a man is, there are times when he¡¯s weak. Besides, Boss isn¡¯t the kind of person who would allow others to see him weak. The hospital is not a place for him to treat his illness.¡± Zuo Yue secretly bit her lip.¡± Since you¡¯re sick but you refuse to go to the hospital, why are you telling me now?¡±¡± Ainte turned around abruptly because of her words. His eyes seemed to be cold and disappointed.¡±Yeah, why would I tell you? In this world, the only person who could be more ruthless than the BOSS was probably you, Zuo Yue.¡± As he spoke, he suddenly took out a gilded card from his pocket and threw it coldly in front of her. Zuo Yue raised her hand to take it. She lowered her eyes and saw that the address of the villa that Zuo Yue lived in near the medical university three years ago and the house number that had never changed were written on it. ¡°Boss doesn¡¯t have the habit of hiring servants. This villa has been empty for a few years. Recently, Boss has been living there alone. He has been unconscious for more than twenty-four hours now. Whether he lives or dies is beyond my control.¡± After saying that, Ainte looked at her coldly again and turned around. Zuo Yue held the gold-plated card in her hand and asked softly when Ainte was about to enter the elevator,¡±¡±Did he let you come?¡± Ainte turned around.¡± Boss didn¡¯t allow me to do so much. If you don¡¯t want to go, you don¡¯t have to feel pressured. After all, he doesn¡¯t know what I just said to you, and he doesn¡¯t intend to let you know. After all, he just planned to return to the United States to settle down, but he suddenly decided to leave the United States. I don¡¯t know the reason either. Of course, perhaps you do.¡± Zuo Yue looked at Ainte. Ainte didn¡¯t say anything else and had already entered the elevator. Someone who had only recently planned to return to the United States to settle down¡­ Zuo Yue stood outside the data room for a long time and did not move. It was not until a company security guard who passed by looked at her in confusion that she nodded apologetically and turned around to go into the data room to get her things. Three hours after work, Zuo Yue walked out of the KIng Group building and smiled as she declined the invitations of a few colleagues who wanted to go out for dinner. She stood quietly under the American flag in front of the square opposite the company and turned to look at the sunset. It was a hot summer day. The sun was about to set. It should have been cooler, but it had become extremely hot. Previously, his phone had warned him that there would be a heavy rain tonight. This kind of heat before the rain made him feel irritated to a certain extent. The taxi stopped in front of her. Zuo Yue opened the door. Before the driver could ask anything, she directly reported the address of the villa near the medical university. It was not far from the villa. It was only a ten-minute drive. When the car stopped in front of the villa, Zuo Yue stayed in the car for a moment without moving. The driver asked her softly if there was anything else. Zuo Yue came back to her senses and shook her head gently before turning around and getting out of the car. She looked up at the villa that she hadn¡¯t come back to see for three years. The past that she had deliberately forgotten three years ago reappeared in front of her little by little. She looked at the time and walked in. When she reached the door of the villa, she raised her hand and was about to press the doorbell when she suddenly thought of the gold-plated card that Ainte had given her. So the door code of this villa had not been changed until now? She raised her hand and paused for a moment before trying to press the password lock. It was drizzling behind her and a damp breeze was blowing. Two soft beeps came from the door, and the door opened. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door, stunned for a while. Actually, she did not quite understand why she suddenly came here after work. She had clearly made it clear before that they had nothing to do with each other. What was she doing here? Her footsteps twitched in front of the door for a moment. She opened the door and walked in. It was already past five in the evening. The sky was only slightly darker, but because of the rain, it was even darker than usual. The lights in the villa¡¯s hall were not switched on, but Zuo Yue felt a cold and empty illusion after entering the door. Why did it feel like no one had lived here recently? Was Ainte sure he didn¡¯t say the wrong place? Zuo Yue hesitated as she searched for the switch in her memory and turned on the lights. In an instant, the hall was extremely bright. Everything seemed to be the same as when she left three years ago. Even the new crystal tea table was still in the same position. Zuo Yue looked in the direction of the coffee table and sofa, then slowly turned her eyes to the bedroom on the first floor where Xu Chengfeng used to live. He turned his gaze to the stairs leading to the second floor. She walked in with her bag and changed her shoes. Then, she looked around and walked to the sofa. She reached out her hand and gently touched the coffee table. Although it was cold and looked as if no one had lived here before, the coffee table was spotless. Someone must have cleaned it every day. Zuo Yue was standing beside the coffee table in a daze. Some of the memories that had been suppressed by her strong self-esteem surged into her head wave after wave. Before she could come back to her senses, she suddenly heard the sound of a glass falling from the master bedroom on the first floor. She snapped back to her senses, turned around, and quickly walked over. Without thinking, she pushed open the bedroom door. Xu Chengfeng had just woken up and was thirsty. He tried to reach for a glass of water on the bedside table, but he knocked it over. The glass full of water rolled off the bedside table and onto the ground. He slowly sat up and coughed lightly. He lifted the blanket and was about to get out of bed when the door was suddenly opened. He paused and turned to look in the direction of the door. The lights in the bedroom were not switched on. Zuo Yue only glanced inside and could see his condition. She raised her hand to turn on the bedroom lights without hesitation. At the same time, she looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s pale and haggard face and the faint green stubble on both sides of his chin. Chapter 1119 - Chapter 1119: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (204) Chapter 1119: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (204) Obviously, he did not expect Zuo Yue to appear here. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze lingered on her face for a long time. Although he was surprised, it was only for a moment. His gaze was still as calm as before. A moment later, he acted as if there was no one else in the room. He got up and bent down to pick up the glass fragments by the bed. Zuo Yue saw his actions and walked over quickly. She threw the bag in her hand aside and bent down to pick up the pieces. At the same time, she raised her other hand to stop his hand. She lowered her head and squatted by the bed.¡±I¡¯ll do it.¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and watched her carefully picking up the fragments. Zuo Yue no longer looked as impatient as she was three years ago. She would not easily cut her fingers again. He looked at her for a moment and moved his hand away. He did not argue with her too much about the fragments, but he only stood up and took a step back. He stood up straight and did not lie down on the bed. Zuo Yue quickly picked up all the debris on the floor. Then, she searched for the bathroom in her memory and found a mop to dry the water on the floor. After she was done with everything, she returned to the bedroom and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting by the bed. When she walked back to the bedroom, he looked at her. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and glanced at him. She asked directly,¡±¡±Have you taken your medicine? How long had it been burning? What¡¯s the temperature now?¡± ¡°How do you know about me?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer but asked a question instead. His voice was so clear that no one could discern any unnecessary emotions. Zuo Yue faintly hooked her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.¡±¡±How did I know? Mr. Xu should be able to guess it easily. But I¡¯m already here, so we don¡¯t have to talk too much. If you haven¡¯t taken your medicine yet, I¡¯ll go buy it now and make you something to eat.¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue did not look at him anymore. She turned around and went to find the medicine box. She searched inside and found that it was filled with the medicine from back then, but it had basically expired. Both of them had not come back in the past few years. If it was not for Ainte saying that Xu Chengfeng had been staying here recently, she would not have stepped into this place again. Looking at the expired medicine, Zuo Yue poured everything out without saying a word. Then, she got up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge. She put the rice and water in according to the ratio and pressed the switch before she turned around and went out. She was very familiar with the locations of the few drugstores near the villa. Even though three years had passed, most of the drugstores had not changed their locations. She went to buy some essential medicine, then bought some fever medicine. After thinking about it, she bought some gauze and band-aids. Although she was no longer a student at the medical university, she had not forgotten these simple bandaging techniques. Moreover, with Xu Chengfeng¡¯s status and background, there was nothing wrong with keeping some things to stop bleeding at home. When she returned to the villa, it was no longer as dark as before. Before she left the house, she had deliberately turned off the lights so that Xu Chengfeng could rest for a while. However, at this moment, all the lights were on, as if she had returned to three years ago. She liked it when every corner of her house was brightly lit. There was not a single dark corner, so almost all the lights here were lit. After entering the room, she placed the shopping bags in her hands on the table beside her. Just as she was about to change her shoes, she suddenly paused. Zuo Yue looked up and saw that Xu Chengfeng had gotten out of bed at some point. He was at the dining table in the living room, pouring warm water from the glass jug into a glass. People who had a fever for a long time were indeed thirsty. She had come in a hurry and only remembered to help him pick up the fragments, find medicine, and make some food. She had forgotten to pour water for him. Moreover, she had been out for so long, and he only came out to drink water. It was obvious that it was very difficult for him to walk. ¡°The water in the glass pot should be getting cold. I felt that it wasn¡¯t very warm. I¡¯ll go boil some water.¡±As she spoke, she walked over quickly and took the medicine to the table.¡±Come, let me take your temperature first.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. His gaze was not the same as it was a few days ago. It was as if she was just someone who was called to take care of him at the last minute. It was not easy to chase her away, but he could not get too close to her either. Zuo Yue stuck the electronic thermometer on his forehead. Xu Chengfeng could not dodge in time, so Zuo Yue had already measured the temperature. The result showed that it was 39.7 degrees. ¡°You¡¯ve been maintaining such a high degree of alcohol and lying alone at home? Aren¡¯t you afraid of getting pneumonias?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s previously expressionless face finally showed some changes. She stared at his silent and dark eyes with anger.¡±I got pneumonias because of my high fever. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how much I suffered at that time. Do you want to repeat my mistake? Or what do you want?¡± As she spoke, she quickly opened a box of fever medicine, took out two pills, and put them by his mouth. Then, she picked up the glass beside his hand.¡±Then, take the fever medicine first and drink this water. I¡¯ll go boil water after you take the medicine.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at the two pills in her hand. There were two white pills in her fair hands. ¡°Eat. You¡¯re already so old, you shouldn¡¯t need someone to feed you.¡±Zuo Yue grumbled unhappily as she brought the pill closer to his mouth. Her palm was so close to his lips, but she stared at him as if she did not feel anything.¡±Quickly take your medicine.¡± However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand and picked up the pill in her palm. After Zuo Yue moved her hand away, he took the pill and put it into his mouth. Then, he took the cup and drank the medicine. Although he was usually stubborn, he was at least obedient in front of her after he fell sick. The inexplicable anger in Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was reduced by a lot. She opened the bag beside her again.¡±These are all the new medicines I bought. The medicines in the first aid box have expired, so I threw them all away. These are all new, and the shortest time they expire is more than a year later.¡± After saying that, she heard the sound of the rice cooker in the kitchen.¡±The porridge is ready. I¡¯ll get some for you.¡± Zuo Yue turned around and was about to leave after she finished speaking. She had just walked quickly behind Xu Chengfeng when her wrist was suddenly tightened by a large, hot palm. Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She did not turn around and tried to pull her hand out. At this moment, the strength in the man¡¯s hand, which was originally weak, surprised her. Just as she was about to turn around and ask him to let go, Xu Chengfeng had already turned his head to look at her indifferently. His voice drifted into her ears. ¡°Doesn¡¯t that mean that we have nothing to do with each other from now on? Why did you come here? Chapter 1120 - Chapter 1120: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (205) Chapter 1120: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (205) Zuo Yue¡¯s expression did not change. She looked in the direction of the kitchen.¡±The porridge is ready. I¡¯ll go get some porridge. I¡¯ll see that you¡¯ll leave immediately after eating it.¡± As she spoke, she was about to push his hand away, but Xu Chengfeng still held her wrist firmly.¡±Since you¡¯ve already learned how to be cruel, why did you still appear?¡± Zuo Yue endured for a moment, then suddenly turned around impatiently and looked at him coldly.¡±¡±What do you mean by learning to be ruthless? Now, if you were to pass by me like this, I definitely wouldn¡¯t give you another glance! But you¡¯re sick and you¡¯re alone at home. You don¡¯t take medicine, you don¡¯t get injections, and you don¡¯t go to the hospital. Even if I shouldn¡¯t have appeared here today, at least I can¡¯t let you have a fever like this!¡± Zuo Yue said as she swung her hand, trying to pull her hand out but she could not move it at all. She suddenly turned her head to look at him.¡±I¡¯ll get you something to eat!¡± Xu Chengfeng still did not let go. Instead, he held her even tighter. When Zuo Yue struggled, he suddenly had strength from somewhere and turned around completely. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. At the moment when Zuo Yue was shocked, he hugged her tightly. Zuo Yue was stunned. The moment she regained her senses, she raised her hand and was about to push him away. Xu Chengfeng was still hugging her tightly with both hands. It was as if he had finally managed to get a candy to eat but could not put it into his mouth. He could only carefully protect her. This man made her feel unfamiliar for a moment. Zuo Yue tried to struggle, but Xu Chengfeng buried his face in the crook of her neck. He held her waist with both hands and refused to let go. His burning face was pressed against her neck, making her tremble uncontrollably. ¡°Xu Chengfeng, what are you doing! Let go of me!¡± Zuo Yue scolded him in a low voice,¡±¡±Crazy!¡± He tried to struggle. Xu Chengfeng was obviously no match for her strength at this moment. She only struggled a few times in his arms before she felt the man¡¯s arm on her back loosen slightly. She froze and turned to look at him. Xu Chengfeng was still holding her, his burning face and hot breath brushing against her body. The strength in his hands gradually loosened a little, but he still did not move away from her back. He seemed to have used up a lot of his remaining strength to suppress her resistance. It was a little difficult for him to hold her while standing at the dining table. His breathing was also a lot faster, but he still did not let go. ¡°Xu Chengfeng.¡± Zuo Yue gradually gave up struggling, but she stood by the dining table, motionless as she allowed him to hug her. Her eyes gradually reddened, but she tried her best not to let him hear her choking voice.¡±I don¡¯t want to see a man like you go to the hospital because of a cold, so please let go of me. Eat well, drink well, and rest more. I might only come this once, and I won¡¯t come to you tomorrow to ask for trouble.¡± As she spoke more and more, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body became heavier and heavier on her body. Zuo Yue frowned, but she still said fiercely,¡±¡±I¡¯m only here because of what Ainte said to me. Even if I don¡¯t think about the other feelings that I shouldn¡¯t have, just because you¡¯re my blood-related uncle, I can¡¯t not take care of you after knowing that you¡¯re sick and alone at home. If you really want me to give you a reason to come here, why don¡¯t you¡­¡± Zuo Yue suddenly laughed at herself.¡± Why don¡¯t you treat it as me, the younger generation, taking care of you, the elder who is so sick that he is bedridden? Treat it as your niece¡¯s filial piety.¡±¡± After saying that, she reached out and tried to push him away. However, the moment Zuo Yue raised her hand, she suddenly felt the man who had been hugging her loosen his grip. It was as if he had already lost all his strength and was no longer restraining her. Instead, his body fell down in front of her. Zuo Yue was shocked and subconsciously reached out to support him. However, Xu Chengfeng was not supported by her because of his height and long legs. He just knelt on the ground in front of her weakly. Zuo Yue could only reach out to support his arm. He leaned forward against her legs, but he seemed to have lost consciousness. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Zuo Yue held him up to prevent him from falling down completely. She lowered her head anxiously and looked at the man whose eyes were quietly closed.¡±Xu Chengfeng? What¡¯s wrong with you? Don¡¯t scare me!¡± ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t scare me! I just said a few harsh words. You don¡¯t have to scare me like this!¡±Zuo Yue raised her hand and patted his face. She found that it was still hot. She could only support him with difficulty while taking out her phone from her pocket to call Ainte. However, after scrolling through her phone for a long time, she remembered that she had already deleted everyone and everything related to Xu Chengfeng, including his and Ainte¡¯s numbers. Perhaps Xu Chengfeng¡¯s number had never changed, or perhaps she could still remember it even if it was deleted. However, regardless of whether his number had changed in the past three years, she did not remember it! Zuo Yue cursed under her breath and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was lying in her arms motionlessly. She caressed his burning face with one hand and called the nearest family doctor she knew with the other. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s identity was special and he could not go to the hospital easily. If he could not contact Ainte, he could not call the emergency number and send him to the hospital. If he wanted to go to the hospital, Ainte had to be in charge. He had no choice but to find a family doctor first! After contacting the doctor, Zuo Yue put down the phone. While waiting for the family doctor to rush over, she gritted her teeth and helped Xu Chengfeng up. She used her body and shoulders that were much shorter than him to support his arm and carry him back to the bedroom. She finally brought the tall man to the bedside. When she turned around and saw the man still lying motionless on the bed, Zuo Yue anxiously stretched out her hand to check his body temperature. She then took the thermometer to check his body temperature. In the end, it still did not work. She simply went to find an ice pack and anything that could help to lower the temperature physically. During this period, Xu Chengfeng did not move. Zuo Yue even rubbed his forehead and face with the ice pack while grabbing his hand and saying,¡±¡±You can¡¯t be defeated by such a small illness. What¡¯s the point of fainting like this? Wake up! Xu Chengfeng! Don¡¯t force me. If I¡¯m provoked, I¡¯ll definitely stab your palm with a needle. I¡¯ll wake you up even if it hurts! Hurry up and wake up!¡± However, no matter what she said, he remained motionless as if he had lost consciousness. Even the hand that she held tightly in her hand did not move. His fingers were so quiet that it was as if he had fallen asleep. Just how much strength did he use to hug her? Zuo Yue anxiously looked at the time displayed on her phone as she waited for the doctor to arrive. At the same time, she looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s pale face and secretly bit her lip. Chapter 1121 - Chapter 1121: Asking the Moon on the Wind Chapter 1121: Asking the Moon on the Wind The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Zuo Yue put away the ice pack, changed it into a towel that was washed with cold water, and walked back to the bedroom. The doctor had already given Xu Chengfeng an injection. Zuo Yue glanced at the needle on the back of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand and the drip hanging by the bed. She walked in quietly and handed the towel to the doctor by the bed. The doctor placed the towel on Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forehead and turned around to say,¡±¡±Miss Zuo, don¡¯t worry too much. Mr. Xu went into shock because of a high fever for nearly 48 hours. Fortunately, his physical fitness is very good. He only fainted because of the high fever, but no other complications have been discovered for the time being.¡± Zuo Yue nodded and said softly,¡±His fever has indeed subsided, right?¡±¡± The doctor also nodded.¡± Yes, Mr. Xu¡¯s current temperature is 38 degrees. Although he is still in a fever state, he is much better than before. So now, just use a cold towel to wipe him. I have seen the fever medicine you gave him before. The effect is good. If he has a high fever again, you can continue to take the fever medicine before I arrive. Just pay attention to the interval between taking the medicine.¡±¡± Only then did Zuo Yue feel relieved to have gotten down. She turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who was still unconscious. Previously, she had been hoping for a fluke and suspected that he did it on purpose. Otherwise, how could a grown man faint so easily? However, Xu Chengfeng was not the kind of man who would use such a method. She thought that he would only have a fever for a day. She only found out from the doctor that he had a fever for nearly 48 hours, which meant that it had been almost two days. No wonder he was so weak¡­ ¡°When Mr. Xu wakes up, make sure he drinks more hot water, eats more easily digested food, and rests more. From his current situation, he shouldn¡¯t have a fever again. But if he really has a high fever again, Miss Zuo must call me over to avoid delaying the treatment.¡± After sending the doctor away, Zuo Yue stood in front of the door and looked at the closed door. After pausing for a long time, she turned around and walked back to the bedroom. Xu Chengfeng was still asleep, his face still pale and bloodless. Zuo Yue stood there and watched for a while before she went to get some warm water. She used a clean gauze to wipe his pale and slightly dry lips with warm water. After she helped him moisten his lips, she sat by the bed and stared at the unconscious man on the bed without moving. She could not answer Xu Chengfeng¡¯s question. Yeah, why did she come over? Ainte didn¡¯t force her to come over. She also felt that she had never owed him anything, so why did she come here directly after she heard that he had a high fever and fainted? Zuo Yue held the slightly damp gauze in her hand and looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face quietly. ¡°He¡¯s already gone! From now on, I will never appear before you again! I will never set foot in Los Angeles again!¡± ¡°At least he knows what¡¯s best for you! At least he¡¯s more rational than you!¡± ¡°Before you make a big mistake! Time will fade away!¡± Those words kept echoing in her ears. Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng again and sighed softly. She lowered her head and laughed at the changes she had made in the past three years, as well as the stubbornness and hatred in her bones. If she had really let go of him, perhaps she would not have avoided and rejected him when he returned, nor would she have used such a cruel and heartless method to force him to stay away from her. She couldn¡¯t let go and could only run away. However, when she heard that he was sick, she couldn¡¯t stabilize her rationality. Everything he had done before, as well as coming here today, such an incongruous way of doing things, was like being slapped hard by reality and the emotions in his heart that he had not thrown away. Xu Chengfeng sat by the bed for a long time without moving. He was indeed asleep, but she had never had the chance to watch him sleep like this. He used to be always calm and sober in front of her. It was as if he was awake every time she woke up. It was as if he had not slept when she fell asleep. It was a rare opportunity to watch him sleep up close. It was so quiet. He didn¡¯t even turn over, nor did he snore. He was so quiet that he looked like a prince who needed a kiss to wake him up. Using the word prince to describe a man in his late thirties did not seem to be appropriate, but what the female employees had said before was true. He did look like he was in his mid-twenties, but he was so young, yet his mentality was as calm as if he was in his seventies or eighties. Sometimes, Zuo Yue did not know why she had fallen in love with him in the first place. She had fallen so madly in love with him. In fact, it had only been two short months. The time they had spent together had only been a few days. However, she was so unable to extricate herself from falling in love with him. She was crazy for him and was willing to risk the world for him. She would rather stand in the dark and just want to hold his hand. In fact, Xu Chengfeng was really good-looking. He had a tall and slender figure, and his muscles were clearly lean and powerful. He was definitely the type who would look slim when he took off his clothes and put on his clothes. Moreover, his skin was slightly pale, and he looked much cleaner than the average Chinese man. His eyebrows were handsome, his nose was high, and his lips were pursed into a straight line as if he was fickle. He was so handsome that it was just right. He was very good-looking, but he was not the best man she had seen since she was young, nor was he considered rare. However, he did have a natural charisma that made people pay attention to him. He was born to be a king. She could not help but want to get closer, closer, and closer, wanting to enter his world. Left Yue suddenly reached out his hand and gently held onto him, he didn¡¯t inject, he didn¡¯t inject, he didn¡¯t inject, he didn¡¯t inject, he didn¡¯t inject, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he didn¡¯t feel hot, he di ¡°Uncle, why did Ainte say that you¡¯re planning to return to the United States to settle down? Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t intend to leave anymore?¡±As she rubbed the back of his hand gently, she muttered to herself in a very, very soft voice,¡±Didn¡¯t you say to my mother that you would never appear in front of me again and never step into the United States again?¡± ¡°Since you can even say such words, since you have already done what you have done for the past three years, why did you suddenly come back? It¡¯s a good thing to come back. And why did he suddenly want to stay?¡± Chapter 1122 - Chapter 1122: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (207) Chapter 1122: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (207) The morning sun shone in through the window. Zuo Yue looked up from the bedside. She had fallen asleep by the bedside the night before. She turned to look outside the window. She was afraid that Xu Chengfeng would be woken up by the light outside the window, so she quickly got up to draw the curtains. However, just as she moved, she suddenly froze and lowered her head to look at her hand that was holding Xu Chengfeng¡¯s. She was the one who held his hand to her face last night. Even when she accidentally fell asleep, she was the one who held his hand. But now, her hand was firmly held in his palm. He used a very light force, but it completely covered her small hand. Did he wake up at night? Zuo Yue glanced at his sleeping face and slowly pulled her hand away from his. She suppressed the restless restlessness in her heart and got up to draw the curtains. When she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who was still sleeping on the bed, she walked over to check his body temperature before walking out of the bedroom with a peace of mind. She went to take out the porridge that she had cooked for the whole night to test the taste. Then, she placed the cold medicine on the dining table and turned around to go back to the bedroom. She picked up his phone and was about to leave a few words on it to tell him to eat something when he woke up and take his medicine on time. However, when she turned on his phone and saw the password on the screen, she hesitated for a moment. She was about to put the phone down when she suddenly paused because the blurry screen saver under his password looked familiar. She picked up his phone again and took a look at it. Her fingers entered Xu Chengfeng¡¯s birthday on the password, but it showed that the password was wrong. She then remembered the four digits at the end of his American identification card. She had entered them wrongly. She had been watching for a long time and suddenly realized that she didn¡¯t know Xu Chengfeng that well. She didn¡¯t even know the password that he used. This was the last chance to enter the password. If he entered the wrong password again, he would have to wait a few minutes before he could use it again. She casually entered the four numbers 1010 and was about to throw the phone back on the table when the screen was unlocked. Zuo Yue was stunned. She held the shiny black phone in a daze. It was her birthday¡­It was the password she had always used on her phone¡­ She turned to look at the sleeping Xu Chengfeng. After staring at him for a long time, her gaze returned to his phone screen. She finally saw the screensaver picture on his screen. Of course, it wasn¡¯t some vulgar character photo or selfie, nor was it anything special. He remembered that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s phone screensaver used to have some solid-colored background pictures that came with the phone. He was not even interested in changing the picture. It was always so monotonous. However, the picture on his phone screen was a very clean white snow scene. This was the place she had frequented for the past few years. It was the busiest and most beautiful snowy area in Boston every winter. It was very clean, and she often lingered there alone. A snow scene might not mean anything, but a person who had already left the United States had a winter in Boston on his phone. Which winter in Boston had a special meaning to him? Zuo Yue held her phone gently and suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. She opened the memo on his phone and typed a few lines of words. The porridge is in the rice cooker. Remember to eat it when you wake up. The cold medicine was on the dining table, one for each morning, noon, and night. If she still had a fever after taking her temperature, she would take a fever pill. Drink more water and rest more. I hope you will be healthy soon. After typing these words, she put her phone down and placed it by the bed. Then, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng again. She calmed her breathing and mood, picked up her bag, turned around, and walked out quickly. When the door of the villa was opened and closed, Zuo Yue¡¯s figure had already walked out of the villa. Xu Chengfeng, who was lying on the bed in the bedroom, still had not woken up. The hands that were quietly placed on both sides of his body slowly raised. His fingers moved, and then he slowly opened his eyes and took the phone that was placed by the bed. ***** ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Didn¡¯t you sleep well last night?¡± At noon, Yin Ruisheng suddenly came over to treat Zuo Yue to lunch. Because his face had not recovered yet, he was wearing a big pair of sunglasses and a mask. No one recognized him. However, when he appeared in front of King Corporation in this outfit, many people suspected that he was a celebrity from somewhere. After all, such a good figure could not fool anyone. Zuo Yue sat in the car under everyone¡¯s gaze. She finally arrived at the place where she could eat. She had not even eaten a few mouthfuls when Yin Ruisheng noticed that she did not sleep well last night. Zuo Yue put down the cutlery in her hand and did not answer. She only took a sip of water and continued to eat slowly, absent-mindedly. ¡°Even if you don¡¯t answer, I know that you weren¡¯t at home last night. After all, I looked at the window all night last night and didn¡¯t see the lights in your house turn on. Tell me, where did you fool around last night? Although he didn¡¯t have dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he was in low spirits. He looked like he was about to fall asleep as he ate.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± You suddenly came to treat me to a meal just to find out where I went last night?¡±¡± ¡°What else?¡± Yin Ruisheng chuckled. In my eyes, you¡¯re my future girlfriend. Even if you¡¯re not now, you¡¯ll be sooner or later.¡± ¡°Crazy.¡± Zuo Yue left directly after eating, too lazy to bother with him. Yin Ruisheng did not chase after her. He only smiled and waved at her through the window beside the dining table when she walked out. Zuo Yue paused for a moment and turned around to make a disdainful gesture at him. His methods of wooing girls were too arrogant. Words alone could not describe her disdain for him. It was not easy for her to get off work, but Zuo Yue was absent-minded. Her colleague asked her if she wanted to go out for dinner tonight, but she declined politely. He had planned to go home to change his clothes, take a good shower, and have a good sleep since he hadn¡¯t slept well last night. However, when the taxi stopped, she looked up at the window and realized that she had told the driver the address of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s villa. After getting out of the car, Zuo Yue stood outside the villa for a long time in a daze. She had come here last night because of an emergency. Now that she knew that Xu Chengfeng would not be as sick as yesterday, what was she doing here now? After staying outside the door for a while, she happened to see a fruit shop not far behind her. Zuo Yue quickly turned around and ran over to buy a bag of fruits before running back. She entered the password to open the door while making a draft in her heart. If he asked her why she was here again today, she would say that she was here to sympathize with her seriously ill elder and bring some fruits along the way. That way, she would look more normal. It seemed like he was showing respect to his elders? Chapter 1123 - Chapter 1123: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (208) Chapter 1123: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (208) The door opened and Zuo Yue walked in with the bag of fruits in her hand. She subconsciously looked at the bedroom on the first floor and saw that the bedroom door was open. It was very quiet. Her awkward mood was suppressed by the silence. She looked around and walked over. There was no one in the bedroom. The blanket on the bed was not folded, but it was not very messy. It seemed that the person who was sleeping on it had woken up and ignored everything in the bedroom. Zuo Yue looked for a while and had doubts in her heart. He was so sick yesterday and even fainted. He couldn¡¯t have gotten out of bed and walked around in just a day. Could he have even gone out? She turned around and placed the fruit on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Just as she was about to go to the second floor to take a look, she suddenly heard some movement from the spare bathroom at the corner of the stairs on the first floor. Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the sound. The bathroom door was opened and Xu Chengfeng walked out slowly with only a towel wrapped around his lower body. The moment their eyes met, Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly without any self-awareness of being exposed. Zuo Yue looked at him and was absent-minded for a long time. In the end, she looked away from his pale face despite having taken a shower. She coughed awkwardly and slowly raised the bag in her hand to cover her face. She whispered,¡±That¡­ You, put on your clothes first.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly for a while, then turned around and walked straight to the bedroom as if he did not hear her. Zuo Yue secretly moved her bag down a little, but when she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s naked back, she immediately stood there awkwardly and frowned. She cursed herself for being so stupid just now and suddenly coming here. This person obviously looked much better. He could already take a shower by himself, and he was even so cold that he ignored her. She came here to ask for trouble. She really brought it on herself! Although the bedroom door was not closed, Xu Chengfeng did not come out after he went in. Regardless of whether he went back to bed to rest or went to change his clothes, Zuo Yue suddenly felt that she should not have come. She glanced at the fruits on the coffee table again and turned around to leave. Just as she reached the door, the sound of a cabinet door being closed suddenly came from the bedroom. At the same time, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold voice sounded,¡±¡±Since you¡¯re here, why are you still leaving?¡± Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks and turned her eyes around, but she did not see Xu Chengfeng. Did he have the ability to see through walls? How could he know that she was going out even though he was in the bedroom and was separated by the closet and the wall? Her footsteps were clearly very light! ¡°Well, I saw that you were too sick yesterday and was worried, so I bought some fruits to visit you after work today. However, you should be fine just now. I have something to do, so I won¡¯t stay long.¡±Zuo Yue stood by the door and said this. She raised her hand and was about to push the door open. ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m fine?¡± Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. She turned around subconsciously and saw Xu Chengfeng walking out of the bedroom. He was no longer wearing a bath towel, but had changed into a pair of comfortable cotton pants and a black T-shirt. The T-shirt was also a slim-fit fit fit that clung tightly to his skin, outlining his arms, chest, and abdominal muscles perfectly without looking too out of place. Any woman who saw it would swallow their saliva. He did not look like a patient at all! Zuo Yue averted her gaze and said in a flat voice,¡±¡±It¡¯s fine if the fever has subsided. What else can happen? I pushed off a few colleagues ¡®dinner plans at the company and rushed over. I should still be able to find them now.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her indifferently.¡± Don¡¯t go yet. Come over.¡±¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s movements paused and she frowned quietly. This tone did not sound like a patient talking to his benefactor who had saved him from danger. Instead, it sounded like a command. Did he think that he could continue to talk to her like an elder when he returned to this villa? Zuo Yue didn¡¯t say anything. She changed her shoes while maintaining the posture of wanting to leave. She didn¡¯t even want to pay attention to him. ¡°If you want the entire company to know that you are the daughter of the Zuo family in Los Angeles tomorrow, then walk out of that door.¡± It was still a cold and indifferent voice. There was no threat in it, but it was filled with threat. Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at him. I haven¡¯t graduated yet. I¡¯m only here for an internship. As my elder, you should congratulate me on my growth and not cause trouble for me!¡± ¡°You stayed in Boston to study and work just to grow?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze swept across her body indifferently. He walked to the coffee table and picked up the bag of fruits. Without asking her, he took it straight to the kitchen. Zuo Yue saw his natural actions, as if it was only right for her to buy some fruits to visit him! So impolite! When she first entered King Corporation for her internship, she had spent a lot of effort to hide the fact that she was one of the heirs of the Zuo Corporation. After all, if she wanted to do a good internship outside, her identity could not be known by outsiders. Although she knew that Xu Chengfeng could not really be that despicable, just in case, she still stopped in front of the door for a while, changed into her slippers, turned around, and walked to the kitchen. She saw that Xu Chengfeng was actually washing fruits. The Russian BOSS was dressed so casually and his face was sickly pale, but he was standing in the kitchen washing fruits. If Ainte or his men saw this scene, they would probably think that their BOSS was possessed by some monster. ¡°That.¡± Zuo Yue stood outside the kitchen and leaned against the wall as she watched his back. She ignored his perfect figure and ignored his back that looked more approachable when he was wearing a T-shirt. She only cleared her throat and said,¡±Uncle, don¡¯t interfere with my internship and my background. This is my private matter.¡± Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not hear her. After washing a few fruits that she had bought, he threw them into the fruit plate. Then, he turned around and walked out, passing the fruit plate to her. Zuo Yue took it and lowered her head to look at the fruit in the fruit plate. She then looked up at his side profile.¡±I¡¯m not eating.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say that I¡¯ll let you eat it. Didn¡¯t you buy it specially to give it to me?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze seemed to fall on her face. It was as if there was a faint smile on his face, but it was hard to see clearly. Chapter 1124 - Chapter 1124: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (209) Chapter 1124: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (209) He really used the word filial piety shamelessly. Although she had thought of this word before she entered the house, hearing it from his mouth made her feel so awkward that she wanted to throw this plate of fruit at his face. ¡°I¡¯m still a patient. You can¡¯t ask me to peel my skin.¡±Xu Chengfeng walked out directly in front of her and said in an indifferent voice,¡±¡±Help me peel my skin.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground for a while, the corner of her mouth twitching. Finally, she turned around and glared at him.¡±You have your own hands and feet, why do you want me to peel it? Besides, eating it with the skin won¡¯t poison you to death!¡± She said as she walked over angrily. ¡°He¡¯s a patient after all,¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly.¡± ¡°What illness? How do you look like a patient now? Even if he hasn¡¯t fully recovered, he wouldn¡¯t use this reason to order me around! Xu Chengfeng, have you not adjusted your perspective? I¡¯ve never owed you anything! Don¡¯t think that you can be unreasonable just because you¡¯re my uncle!¡± Zuo Yue walked behind him with a dissatisfied look and was about to force the fruit plate back into his hand. Just as she raised her hand, the man in front of her suddenly turned around. Zuo Yue did not have time to dodge and was caught off guard. She crashed into his arms. ¡°Oh.¡± Her face bumped heavily into his chest, and she felt a sharp pain in her nose. Instinctively, she wanted to retreat, but her waist suddenly tightened. Zuo Yue froze for a moment and wanted to step back. Xu Chengfeng did not let go and just looked down at her. His eyes seemed calm, but they were deep. Zuo Yue carefully avoided his gaze and raised her hand to push him away. ¡°There are only the two of us here now.¡±Xu Chengfeng raised his hand to press down her hand that was resisting his chest. He said calmly,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, are you sure you want to maintain this kind of relationship with me from now on?¡± ¡°Let go of me first¡­¡± Once Zuo Yue got close to him, she couldn¡¯t calm down. She needed to calm down and stay away from him so that she could regain her original rationality and speak. Xu Chengfeng held her down and refused to let go.¡± This villa is only this big. The result will be the same whether I let you go or not. If it was two days ago, I could let you go as you wished and do whatever you wanted. But since you came last night, Zuo Yue, I don¡¯t think I have any reason to let go.¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t do anything rash. You left so decisively three years ago because you didn¡¯t want to take the final step with me, right? Weren¡¯t you always afraid of accompanying me into the abyss that shouldn¡¯t exist? It¡¯s already been so long. I¡¯m not bothering you anymore. What do you want now? I finally crawled out of the abyss, do you want to drag me back now?¡± Zuo Yue said as she pushed him.¡± Take your hand away. You were the one who had to keep a distance back then. You were the one who was calm and rational. I came to see you yesterday and today because you were sick. I¡¯ve already said that you¡¯re my uncle¡­Even if I only treat you as an elder, I should¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Yue was suddenly held by him on the back of her head. Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and closed in on her line of sight. His eyes were so close to hers, and there was only a little distance between their lips. She instantly sucked in a breath and did not dare to move or speak. She just looked at the man in front of her with fear, who looked a little haggard after his illness, but was so domineering that she felt a little unfamiliar with him. ¡°Elder?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes locked onto her eyebrows.¡±¡±When did you ever treat me as your senior?¡± ¡°It is now¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue could finish her sentence, she felt him closing in on her. Their bodies were pressed against each other tightly. She could feel his well-defined chest through the fabric of his clothes. She could feel his heartbeat and his body temperature. She could even feel his breath clearly and directly in her nose. That clean and clear breath that belonged to him made her brain explode in an instant. For a moment, she could not tell if this was a dream or three years ago, or¡­ ¡°Why didn¡¯t you treat me as an elder when you peeked at me taking a shower three years ago?¡± ¡°.. When did I steal your bath?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly turned red. Back then, she had accidentally broken into the bathroom! ¡°Why didn¡¯t you treat me as an elder when you dragged me around and said you loved me three years ago?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you treat me as an elder when you pressed me against the door and kissed me forcefully three years ago?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Three years ago, when you seduced me in bed and yearned for me to sleep beside you, why didn¡¯t you treat me as an elder?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°Three years ago, when you insisted on being with me even if the world collapsed, why didn¡¯t I hear you say that you wanted to treat me as an elder?¡± ¡°.. I¡­¡± ¡°Now that I¡¯m sick, you¡¯re buying a bag of fruits from the supermarket across the street. Is that considered visiting your elders? Zuo Yue, your character change is really casual.¡±Xu Chengfeng laughed as he held the back of her head tightly.¡±Three years ago, when I was in your room, you were still tugging at my collar and crying and begging me. Now, you¡¯re standing in front of me and saying that you only treat me as an elder? How could you treat your uncle like this? Hmm?¡± Zuo Yue was almost suffocated by the past. She quickly raised her hand to push him away, but Xu Chengfeng put down his hand when she raised her hand to resist and struggle. He firmly restrained her waist and lowered his eyes to approach her slightly turned face again.¡±We are only one step away from each other. It seems that the protection I gave you back then has now become your only shield. Is it my own sin or is it that the thorns all over your body are too piercing?¡± Zuo Yue finally regained her senses from his words. She raised her hand to block between the two of them and tried her best to turn her head away to avoid his breath and gaze. She resisted and said,¡±Don¡¯t be like this!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, I will never pester you. This is the only time.¡±Xu Chengfeng continued to stare at her, making her unable to escape his gaze. He asked in a low voice,¡±¡±When I was selling my mountain villa in Los Angeles, did you buy it under someone else¡¯s name?¡± Zuo Yue was speechless. She suddenly looked up at him with shock in her eyes, but she did not move. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve already let go of it in the past three years? Two years ago, when I ordered Ainte to return to the United States to transfer my assets in Los Angeles, why did you interfere? Is this your way of letting go?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze gradually turned stiff.¡±¡±If you are only worried about me interfering in this matter, you do not need to worry. I am only obsessed with it. It has nothing to do with you. You do not need to¡­¡± Before she could finish, Xu Chengfeng suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his dark eyes.¡±Don¡¯t find so many reasons. Let me ask you, the person who tried so hard to leave all traces of me in Los Angeles, was it you?¡± Chapter 1125 - Chapter 1125: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (210) Chapter 1125: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (210) The person who tried so hard to leave behind all traces of him? Was it her? Zuo Yue looked at him for a long time before she suddenly laughed. She raised her hand to pull his hand down and said expressionlessly,¡±¡±Yes, that stupid woman is me, so what?¡± Whether it was a year ago or two years ago, it¡¯s all in the past. I just didn¡¯t want the land to change hands. Anyway, our Zuo family has a big business.¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she suddenly pushed him away and turned around with her back facing him. She sneered,¡±¡±Do you think this can prove that I¡¯m still so foolishly infatuated with you? ¡°Xu Chengfeng, you may be overthinking things. Those houses are all under my name now. They are all mine. They have nothing to do with you. Besides, the locations of your properties are top-notch. It won¡¯t be easy to buy them. Since I have the chance to buy them, of course I will buy them. I¡¯m not a child anymore. In the future, whether it¡¯s Zuo Corporation or Xu Corporation, it¡¯s convenient for the family business to change. At least I have a few real estates under my name.¡± This is also a kind of responsible attitude towards my own life, so all of this has nothing to do with you. If you insist on getting involved, then I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re just thinking too much¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, he grabbed her shoulder. Zuo Yue was about to turn her eyes away, but he had already turned her body around. ¡°Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t¡­¡± Zuo Yue frowned and was about to speak when the man who had already closed in on her had already turned her around with an unusually strong force. He bent down and leaned closer to her. Zuo Yue looked at the face in front of her in shock and subconsciously raised her hand to push him away. However, Xu Chengfeng firmly restrained her and pressed his lips against hers. He said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±The only obvious characteristic of you in these three years is your stubbornness.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him unwillingly. She raised her hand and was about to hit his chest hard. Xu Chengfeng easily grabbed her wrist with both hands and held her wrist tightly, forcing her into his arms. Zuo Yue struggled as she retreated. Just like that, he pressed her wrists against the sides of his chest and approached her step by step. It was only when she leaned against the back of the sofa and almost stumbled over that she had nowhere to retreat that she looked up in panic. Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and locked onto her trembling gaze.¡±Say it again. There¡¯s nothing between us?¡± Zuo Yue bit her lips and said with a cold face and a stubborn temper,¡±¡±We have a relationship! Wasn¡¯t the only relationship between them blood relations? You¡¯re my uncle, and I¡¯m your niece! That was all¡­Oh¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Chengfeng had already sealed it with a kiss. ¡°Oh! Wu wu¡­ Oh!¡± Zuo Yueyue widened her eyes and slapped him on the shoulder.¡±Xu Cheng¡­The wind¡­ Mm¡­ No, no, no. Oh¡­¡± Her entire heart was trembling violently. She finally shook her head to avoid his kiss. Zuo Yue was about to raise her face to scold him for being crazy, but Xu Chengfeng once again approached her delicate face the moment she raised her eyes fiercely. He stared at her reddened eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±Say it again.¡± Zuo Yue took a deep breath and cursed with red eyes,¡±¡±Bastard! Was it exciting to kiss his niece? Back then, you were the one who left just like that. What right do you have to do with me now? I have nothing to do with you! No¡­ Oh¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng kissed her again. This time, he kissed her harder than before. Zuo Yue could not even make a sound. She could only glare at him angrily. Xu Chengfeng kissed her deeply for a long time, but she was stubborn and refused to open her long teeth. He could not break through, nor did he force her. He slowly let go of her lips, but his body still trapped her between his body and the back of the sofa, not giving her any way out. ¡°Xu Chengfeng! You bastard! Why¡­Oh¡­¡± Once again, he kissed her firmly and forcefully. He even accurately found the gap when she opened her mouth to speak. His tongue went straight in and hooked onto her uncompromising tongue, deep and entangled. Zuo Yue felt dizzy, but she refused to close her eyes until Xu Chengfeng released his grip on her hands. Instead, he raised his palm to hold the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Zuo Yue slowly closed her eyes, but she had just closed them for two seconds when she suddenly woke up. She raised her freed hands to push him away.¡±Oh¡­ Wu wu¡­ Let go¡­ Mm¡­ Xu¡­ Oh¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng used one hand to easily suppress her struggling hands, and the other hand firmly held the back of her head, pressing her lips and tongue against his lips and teeth. Zuo Yue wanted to bite him fiercely, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s skill was exquisite. He could not let go of her lips, but he could avoid her bite. He even used the strength of her bite to go deeper, almost to the throat, making her entire body tremble uncontrollably. ¡°You¡­ Mm¡­ Put¡­ Open¡­¡± Zuo Yue tried her best to push his face away just as he was about to catch his breath. She struggled to speak. Xu Chengfeng lowered his gaze and looked at her eyes that were already red from anxiety. She was in a sorry state and the atmosphere was tense. Other than the t-shirt on his body that was a little messy from her pinching, it seemed like nothing had changed. He just stared at her face calmly and said in a low and hoarse voice with some patience that only he had for her.¡±Zuo Yue, think carefully before you speak.¡± Zuo Yue angrily glared at him. However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to notice the anger in her eyes. He stared at her eyes and said gently,¡±We¡¯re not related?¡± Zuo Yue was so angry that she did not have the rationality to fight with him. She was so angry that she could not care less about the consequences and cursed,¡±Bastard! I will never have anything to do with a bastard like you!¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly smiled and grabbed her waist. Zuo Yue was in pain because of his strength and did not understand what he meant by his sudden and ungentle strength. She only raised her eyes and glared at him.¡±Let me go!¡± ¡°Since there¡¯s no relationship, why don¡¯t we completely change our relationship today? I¡¯ll make up for what I owed you and myself back then!¡± The man¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, but he firmly pressed her against the back of the sofa again. Zuo Yue was stunned as she looked at his face that was gradually approaching her. Her voice was a little nervous and trembling.¡±What are you doing? What are you doing? Xu Chengfeng, I warn you not to mess around!¡± ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have let you off again and again three years ago. Now, we¡¯re just trying to get back what we owe each other.¡±His low voice was close to her ear. Chapter 1126 - Chapter 1126: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (211) Chapter 1126: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (211) Zuo Yue had yet to recover from his words when she fell from the back of the sofa and fell on the sofa in a sorry state. What was even more terrifying was that Xu Chengfeng actually chuckled softly. He took the opportunity to walk around the sofa and pressed her body down heavily. He bent down and pressed down on her, absorbing all her resistance and struggle under his body. ¡°Xu Chengfeng, I¡¯m warning you. Don¡¯t do anything rash. I¡¯m no longer that 18-year-old girl who doesn¡¯t care about anything. If you dare to do anything to me, I¡¯ll definitely tell my mother!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked down at her with a half-smile.¡±Do you think your mother can threaten me?¡± She suddenly paused and glared at him.¡±¡±If my mother couldn¡¯t threaten you, why would you leave just because my mother found out?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I wanted to leave. It has nothing to do with your mother.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze fell on her face.¡±¡±No one in this world can threaten me, including your mother. Of course, I had chosen to respect her opinion. Although the method was cruel, it was only to protect you.¡± ¡± What are you doing?¡± Zuo Yue sneered.¡± Since you want to protect me, what are you doing now?¡± Xu Chengfeng, did you take the wrong medicine?¡± Zuo Yue was so angry that she kept struggling under him.¡±¡±If you suddenly have a mental problem, go find a doctor. Don¡¯t torture me! I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with you anymore!¡± ¡°Truth?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked into her eyes and asked softly. Zuo Yue nodded resolutely. Truth!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her again and suddenly stood up. Zuo Yue hurriedly tried to sit up and escape from his imprisonment. However, just as she struggled twice to sit up, the man who was about to let go of her suddenly grabbed her neck and lowered his head to kiss her deeply. Zuo Yue was caught off guard and her eyes widened instantly. She hurriedly raised her hand, but the angle of this position was not something she could easily push away. Her entire body was pressed firmly against the sofa, as if she had been deprived of all breathing and oxygen. Her hands could only helplessly grasp his arms, but Xu Chengfeng seemed to deliberately make her feel deeply uncomfortable, not allowing her to breathe. Just like that, Zuo Yue was almost suffocating, and her hands were desperately grabbing his arms. Only then did he gradually raise his head. Zuo Yue turned her face and started to breathe with all her might. Her hands that were on his arms trembled instinctively. Then, she suddenly turned her eyes to look at the man who was sizing her up.¡±What are you trying to do? So what if he left? Why did he come back? What was this now? In the past, you were so cold and hot that it made people¡¯s mood fluctuate. Now that I¡¯ve finally let go, you suddenly appeared again and pestered me like this. Are you going to wait until I fall into the abyss again before you leave heartlessly and torture me again and again until I die before you¡¯re willing to give up?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only looked at her angry expression and slowly raised his hand to gently push away the fine strands of hair on her forehead. He said in a low voice,¡±I have already said that if it was two days ago, I might have been able to let you go. However, since you appeared here yesterday¡­¡± He lowered his gaze and looked into her eyes that were still filled with anger. His hand gently caressed her forehead as if to comfort her, but also as if it was a gentle and intimate brush between her skin, causing her to tremble inexplicably. ¡°Even if there is a mountain of blades and a sea of flames ahead, I will not give a little girl like you the chance to escape.¡±His voice rang clearly in her ears, sounding as mellow as a cello. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes froze, still finding it unbelievable. However, she still instinctively wanted to struggle out of his body. Seeing that he had no intention of letting go of her, she was so anxious that she could only find a random excuse for the time being. Her eyes hurriedly glanced in the direction of the kitchen and said anxiously,¡±Did you eat anything in the morning?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her and answered frankly,¡±¡±No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She barely raised her hand and placed it on his shoulder, pushing him twice.¡±Didn¡¯t I make porridge for you yesterday? Did you eat yesterday?¡± ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Zuo Yue glared at him angrily.¡± If you want to starve to death, go die. Don¡¯t look for me!¡±¡± As she spoke, she suddenly muttered,¡±He¡¯s so sick and hasn¡¯t eaten for two days. He¡¯s still so strong. God is really unfair.¡± ¡°To be precise, I haven¡¯t eaten anything for the past three days.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice sounded light in her ears. Zuo Yue: You¡¯re simply unreasonable. You¡¯re so sick and you still don¡¯t eat. Do you want to die?¡± ¡°If I faint from hunger again, you might stay by my bed for another night.¡±When Xu Chengfeng finished speaking, he did not wait for Zuo Yue to fly into a rage. He raised his hand and caressed her eyebrows.¡±But I probably won¡¯t be willing to let you work so hard for another night.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression twitched a little. She was neither touched nor surprised. She just looked at him strangely for a long time until Xu Chengfeng bowed his head again under her gaze. She suddenly stood up and said,¡±¡±I¡¯ll get you something to eat!¡± ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s edible?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned at first, and it took her a long time to understand what he meant. She immediately hit him hard on the shoulder.¡±I won¡¯t poison you to death anyway! Let go of me! What kind of ability is it to act like a hooligan to your niece!¡± ¡°You¡¯re very capable of seducing your uncle with all your might.¡±Xu Chengfeng said with a faint smile. When Zuo Yue looked at him with dissatisfaction, he let go of her. ¡°Crazy.¡± Zuo Yue stood up in a hurry, not daring to look at him again. She turned around and rushed into the kitchen. After entering the kitchen, she turned on the rice cooker. As expected, the porridge she made yesterday was not missing at all. However, it was definitely not edible now. The weather was so hot. Even if the room had air conditioning, the porridge was definitely not edible anymore. She sighed as she stood by the cupboard and recalled the time when she had a high fever. She had no appetite even though she was weak and vomited everything she ate. In the end, she decided not to eat anything. However, he had not eaten for three days. He could not continue like this. Zuo Yue stood by the refrigerator door and found a pack of compressed noodles that had just been opened. She also found some meat in the freezer of the refrigerator. Then, she turned around and boiled the water in the pot. Standing by the cupboard and looking at the water that had not boiled in the fruit, Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and placed it on her lips subconsciously. The soul-stirring touch on her lips was still there. Even now, she felt that the blood in her entire body was still frozen, including her fingers that were still faintly trembling¡­ Chapter 1127 - Chapter 1127: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (212) Chapter 1127: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (212) Zuo Yue stared at the boiling water in the pot and suddenly moved her hand away from her mouth. She muttered,¡±¡±Crazy.¡± She turned around and took the noodles and put them into the boiling water. Then, she went to prepare other seasonings to go with the noodles. After more than ten minutes, a bowl of steaming noodles was brought out and placed on the dining table. Zuo Yue then took the Chinese chopsticks and the omelet that she had just fried and placed them on the dining table. Xu Chengfeng was standing by the sofa and drinking water. He looked back and saw the noodles and egg pancakes that Zuo Yue had personally cooked. He immediately raised his eyebrows and walked over slowly. ¡°Eat. Even if you still don¡¯t have an appetite, if you continue to starve like this, you¡¯ll really be joking with your body. You have to eat at least half a bowl of noodles.¡±Zuo Yue said as she signaled him to sit down and eat with her eyes. Xu Chengfeng looked at the noodles on the dining table for a while, then looked thoughtfully at Zuo Yue.¡±¡±You¡¯re not eating?¡± ¡°I ate too much at noon, and I just got off work, so I¡¯m not hungry yet.¡±Zuo Yue turned around and walked to the sofa. She picked up the fruit knife and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to peel some fruit. Hurry up and eat it. Also, I¡¯m only here to take care of you because you¡¯re a patient.¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled when he heard her deliberately adding that sentence. He sat at the dining table and picked up his chopsticks. He looked at the noodles and a small plate of simple scrambled eggs in front of him. Zuo Yue was not particularly good at cooking in the past. She could even burn the bread when she toasted, so he did not expect her cooking skills to improve in recent years. However, it seemed that she had really improved a lot. At least, she looked good. ¡°The three years of time spent on a little girl like you have indeed achieved unimaginable changes and growth.¡±Xu Chengfeng suddenly said. When Zuo Yue heard this, she turned her head and saw that he had already started eating the noodles she cooked. She raised her eyebrows slightly but did not say anything. She sat on the sofa and continued to peel the fruit seriously. She watched as the fruit peels fell on the coffee table without breaking. The scene from before was reflected in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes. Su Su¡¯s lips were still on Su Su¡¯s mother¡¯s lips. Her heart, which had long cooled down, and her heart, which had been cast up, had a corner that collapsed, but it was only a corner. She had indeed taken over the properties in Los Angeles that he had asked Ainte to sell, but how did he know? He hadn¡¯t returned to the United States in the past few years, but he knew everything about the United States like the back of his hand? Did he know every step she had taken in the past three years and what had happened to her? After peeling a fruit, Zuo Yue carefully cut it and placed it in the fruit plate. Then, she picked up another fruit and began peeling it. Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting at the dining table, did not have much appetite because he had been seriously ill for the past two days. However, he did eat more than half a bowl for her sake. Although Zuo Yue¡¯s craftsmanship was not considered to be at the level of a master, it had a very ordinary taste. This was already her greatest improvement in the past three years. Zuo Yue had just finished cutting the third fruit when she seemed to hear the movement behind the sofa. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s footsteps had always been steady. She did not need to guess to know that he had already finished eating. She didn¡¯t turn around. When she picked up the fourth fruit, a voice came from behind her.¡± I asked you to peel the fruits, but I didn¡¯t ask you to peel all of them. So many preparations, but I have to eat them all by myself?¡±¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re a patient? I¡¯ve already peeled it for you. You can eat as much as you want.¡±Zuo Yue said as she began to cut the fourth fruit in her hand. Suddenly, someone grabbed his wrist. At the same time, the fourth fruit fell into his palm. Zuo Yue turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng casually weigh the fruit twice and then throw it into the fruit plate. His movements were skillful and relaxed, as if he had recovered a lot after eating something. She subconsciously wanted to get up, but before she could, Xu Chengfeng suddenly pulled her arm. She stumbled back to her seat and leaned against him passively. Her wrist was also held, so she could not shake it off smoothly. Zuo Yuejiang sat on the sofa. Xu Chengfeng merely grabbed her wrist and did not do anything else. It seemed like he just didn¡¯t want her to leave just like that. Zuo Yue sat next to him awkwardly for more than ten seconds before suddenly saying,¡±¡±Um, my colleague is still waiting¡­¡± ¡°When do you plan to move back here?¡±When Xu Chengfeng let go of her hand, he used a toothpick to pick up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth. His actions were so natural that it was as if nothing had happened in the past three years. Zuo Yue looked at him as if he was a lunatic.¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng, have you lost your memory? It¡¯s already been so long. I¡¯ve already walked out of those impulsive moments when I was young and ignorant. Isn¡¯t this what you¡¯ve always wanted? Who gave you the courage to sit here and ask me to move back in as if nothing had happened?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Instead, he silently picked up another piece of fruit. ¡°Also, I have to remind you that I¡¯m already twenty-two years old. In another half a year, I¡¯ll be twenty-three. I¡¯m not the silly girl who was eighteen or nineteen years old and did whatever she wanted by your side. I¡¯ve already grown up. I have a life I want, and it¡¯s a life that I don¡¯t want you to exist anymore!¡± Xu Chengfeng still did not speak. He only looked at the piece of fruit on the toothpick. He was so quiet that no one could tell what he was thinking. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you came back, and I don¡¯t intend to ask too much. But now, my life has nothing to do with you anymore. So, Mr. Xu, no matter how much I took care of you during your illness, I didn¡¯t have any other thoughts, so you don¡¯t have to say anything. I won¡¯t think too much, and please don¡¯t think too much.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pretend that today¡¯s matter never happened.¡±Zuo Yue took a deep breath.¡± That¡¯s all. I¡¯ll leave first¡­¡± Her words were stopped by a piece of fruit that suddenly came close to her mouth. Zuo Yue paused for a moment and looked at the man who was holding the fruit to her mouth without any change in expression. Now, no matter what she said, he could do nothing? How could this man be so calm and indifferent no matter what happened? Zuo Yue let out a sigh of relief and said fiercely,¡±¡±I hope that after you recover, you can go to the hospital for a regular physical examination. After all, you¡¯re old. You have to go for a checkup to ensure your health. Don¡¯t always make me¡­Do you know how difficult it is for me to take time out of my busy schedule to take care of you?¡± Chapter 1128 - Chapter 1128: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (213) Chapter 1128: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (213) The more she went overboard, the deeper his gaze became when he looked at her. It was as if he would swallow her alive if she dared to spout nonsense again. However, he didn¡¯t say anything. Just a smile in his eyes made her keep quiet out of fear. ¡± After eating fruits, I will not forget to take medicine for a while, drink plenty of water and rest.¡±¡±Zuo Yue didn¡¯t want to talk nonsense with him anymore. She ignored the fruit in her mouth and got up to leave. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything to stop her. He simply threw the toothpick and the piece of fruit back into the fruit plate. Then, he turned and looked at Zuo Yue, who was determined to leave.¡±I¡¯ll be attending King Corporation¡¯s business conference at the end of this month.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s footsteps suddenly stopped, and then she suddenly turned her eyes to look at the man who remained calm but had dark eyes. She was an intern in the business department. If she could successfully participate in the new product launch at the end of the month, her internship would end quickly and she would be able to become a full-time employee. It would soon be time for her to prove her strength. However, if something went wrong and the number of participants decreased, she and the other interns would definitely not be qualified. She didn¡¯t expect that the commercial conference at the end of the month would be related to him. ¡°Didn¡¯t Ainte say that you¡¯re leaving the United States soon?¡±Zuo Yue kept a straight face and hid the worry in her eyes. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡±I did have this plan.¡± ¡°Then leave. If you leave, the commercial conference at the end of the month will have nothing to do with you!¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled.¡± But I¡¯ve changed my mind now. Since the cooperation with King Corporation has already reached this stage, I should definitely go to the commercial conference at the end of the month. Even if it¡¯s not for the cooperation between King Corporation and the GN Corporation, I should still go and take a look just because you¡¯re there.¡± Zuo Yue instantly wished she could pinch him to death with her eyelids! ¡°Who wants you to see it! I have nothing to do with you! It was alright! It was alright! Did you hear that?¡± Zuo Yue pulled open the door with a particularly unhappy expression and walked out quickly. She did not want to stay here any longer. After she ran outside and hailed a taxi, she sat in the car and looked at her phone. After thinking for a long time, she gave Xu Chengfeng a call. The phone was picked up after a few rings, but Xu Chengfeng did not speak first. Zuo Yue could not help but say,¡± I still have the same words. Mr. Xu, please don¡¯t interfere with my work and my life.¡±¡± ¡°When are you moving back?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing between the two of us. Why should I move to your place?¡± ¡°The press conference at the end of the month¡­¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng!¡± Zuo Yue said angrily. It¡¯s useless to threaten me in this way! A good horse doesn¡¯t eat grass again, do you understand? I don¡¯t remember you being such a despicable person! Let me tell you, I already have someone I like. I¡¯m no longer the little girl who was obsessed with you. Please don¡¯t affect my life in the future!¡± There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice did not change, but it sounded much calmer.¡±Is that so?¡± ¡°Whether you believe it or not! I¡­ I¡¯m already together with Yin Ruisheng! A few days ago, the two of us were just fighting, so we didn¡¯t look that close! Let me tell you, anything can change in three years. No one will always wait for you in the same place!¡± Zuo Yue shouted into the phone. Before he could speak again, she hung up the phone abruptly. Then, she turned to look out the window. Suddenly, her eyes were wet. Whether it was three years ago or three years later, the problems between them were still the same. Since they had hurt each other three years ago because of this relationship that shouldn¡¯t have existed, they shouldn¡¯t get close to each other now. She was already afraid of getting closer to him. She had enough of hearing her heart break every day and night! Zuo Yue held her phone tightly with tears in her eyes. The phone was very quiet. Xu Chengfeng did not call back. She suddenly looked out of the car window at the bars that she passed by. When she passed by the bar that she often went to, she raised her hand to wipe the tears that could not stop falling. She looked forward again until she reached a bar that she had never been to before. She suddenly asked the driver to stop. Zuo Yue did not call anyone, nor did she need anyone to accompany her. She walked in directly. Outside, the sky was getting dark and the bar was bustling with neon lights. She ordered a few glasses of the strongest wine and sat alone in the corner to drink. However, no matter how much she drank, her lips still seemed to be stained with that person¡¯s taste. It was clear, clean, and unique. It was a smell that could not be washed away no matter how hard one tried. Even if he came back to look for her now, the two of them were still uncle and niece, right? Even if she still felt her heart flutter, everything that she had experienced in the past three years reminded her that he had once given her a few days of happiness. She had once fallen for that blissful feeling of being together. However, after that, he was forced to leave by his mother, and it was during the three years that he was missing. She couldn¡¯t remember how many places she had secretly searched for. She had once given up, persisted, and then gave up again. She didn¡¯t want to experience that feeling of hope and disappointment, the pain of gaining and losing again. So what if Xu Chengfeng was back now¡­ What stood between them was not his indifference, but their blood ties! Looking at the wine glass in front of her, Zuo Yue suddenly raised her hand and downed it in one gulp. She had obviously been drinking frequently these few years, but she still choked and turned her head to cough violently. ¡°Hey, pretty girl, don¡¯t you want to have a few drinks together?¡± Zuo Yue, who was hiding in a corner and drinking a few glasses of wine, looked like a person who could be easily hooked up with in the eyes of the young hooligans in the bar. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze did not even fall on them. She poured herself another glass of wine as if she did not hear anything and sat on the sofa to drink quietly. ¡°Little beauty, is there something sad? Why don¡¯t you tell us?¡± One of the hooligans stared at her figure for a while. His gaze swept across her slender, long, and straight legs in jeans. He smiled and sat down beside her, reaching out to hug her. ¡°Get lost.¡± Zuo Yue expressionlessly avoided the hooligan¡¯s hand. She noticed that there were about four to five men in front of her. Only then did she realize that this bar didn¡¯t seem to be very safe. It was probably a place where hooligans often came to. It wasn¡¯t as well-managed as the bars under the GN Group. She immediately stood up and was about to leave. ¡± Hey, pretty lady, don¡¯t go. You¡¯re already so drunk. You can¡¯t even walk properly!¡± Zuo Yue waved their hands away with a cold face, but she was really dizzy. As she walked out, she realized that she really seemed to have drunk a little too much. When those people came to her again, she had already walked to the door of the bar. She raised her hand and threw the bag in her hand at the faces of those people. At the same time, she turned her eyes and suddenly looked at Xu Chengfeng who had appeared outside the bar. Chapter 1129 - Chapter 1129: Asking the Moon with the Wind (214) Chapter 1129: Asking the Moon with the Wind (214) Zuo Yue waved their hands away with a cold face, but she was really dizzy. As she walked out, she realized that she really seemed to have drunk a little too much. When those people came to her again, she had already walked to the door of the bar. She raised her hand and threw the bag in her hand at the faces of those people. At the same time, she turned her eyes and suddenly looked at Xu Chengfeng who had appeared outside the bar. Two of the hooligans who were hit by her bag immediately cursed under their breath. They reached out their hands and wanted to drag her back into the bar. Zuo Yue shook his hand hard and raised the bag in her hand at the same time. She slapped them hard on their bodies and faces and said,¡±¡±Get lost! Get the f * ck out of my way!¡± ¡°Little beauty, you have a big temper. We like your temper!¡±The hooligans smiled with malicious intentions and reached out to hug her shoulders. Zuo Yue saw that her hands were already caught, so she simply raised her leg and kicked them in the lower part of their body. Before she could kick them, she was pulled forward by two of the hooligans and stumbled into one of their arms. The strong smell of alcohol and tobacco was so disgusting that she immediately retched. After that, she felt her body being pulled away by a force that came from the side. Then, she turned her head and crashed into a clean and clear embrace. The hard chest and the familiar touch that she could feel through her clothes made her dazed for a moment. When she came back to her senses, she suddenly turned her head away from that person¡¯s embrace and saw that a few of the arrogant hooligans had already fallen to the ground. Among them, two of the taller ones who seemed to be martial artists rushed over while cursing. She had never really seen Xu Chengfeng fight, and it seemed like she had never even seen him shoot a gun. He was always the calm man in front of her, the man who held the position of the head of the GN Group. He had never been stained with blood in front of her. However, when she turned around in a daze, Xu Chengfeng suddenly pressed her hand back into his arms. He did not let her see it, but she could feel the tension and strength in his muscles from the way he turned around with her and kicked those people away. It was as if the man who had gradually disappeared from her world three years ago and even gradually died in her heart had really come back to life at this moment. It was a real hug and a real touch. There was also the spinning of her body as if she was traveling in the wind, and the agile and reassuring way she leaned over to protect him when she turned her body to avoid those people¡¯s fists and kicks. Zuo Yue weakly stuck her head in his arms, her mind in a mess. She had drunk too much and was almost unconscious. She did not know how long Xu Chengcheng had been hugging her and fighting, but she knew that there were quite a number of hooligans just now. There seemed to be a few of their accomplices in the bar, and there were a few tall martial artists practitioners among them. However, she had not been touched at all. She had even been leaning against him in his arms. She could feel that when he was fighting the young hooligans bare-handed, even if he was fighting with one hand because he was hugging her for a long time. However, it was obvious that he did not use much strength. He did not even sweat much. His body was still clean and reassuring. Zuo Yue leaned into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms and felt as if she was done with the beating. She slowly pulled her head out of his arms, but she almost fell down when she swayed. Xu Chengfeng suddenly tightened his grip on her waist and hugged her again. At the same time, he bent down to pick up her bag that she had dropped on the ground and threw it back into her arms. Zuo Yue was still in a daze as she swayed in the arms of the Emmy. She raised her hand and rubbed her head, but she could not find the source of her sobriety. She could only raise her head instinctively to look at his face, but his face had turned into two or three shadows. She grinned and patted his shoulder.¡±Thanks¡­¡± After saying that, she was about to push him away, planning to turn around and hail a cab. However, before she could escape from his embrace, she felt a tight grip on her back and her entire body crashed into his embrace. Her nose bumped into his chest, and she immediately raised her hand to cover her nose and frowned. She whimpered twice because of the pain. ¡°You¡¯re quite bold now. After leaving my place, you went to the bar alone to drink?¡±Xu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear. At the same time, he pulled Zuo Yue, who was about to break free from his embrace, back into his arms.¡±Where are you going after drinking so much? You¡¯ve lived in Boston for so many years. Don¡¯t you know what this area is like? Don¡¯t you know that there are all sorts of hooligans running around at this time?¡± ¡°Just now¡­Thank you, but it has nothing to do with you.¡±Zuo Yue was distracted as she listened. After the boss said this unhappily, her mind became a mess again. She frowned and reached out to push him away.¡±Let go of me¡­Let go¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not let go. Just as one of the hooligans got up from the ground and wanted to sneak an attack on his back, Zuo Yue happened to tilt her head and look over his shoulder. She saw a knife in the hooligan¡¯s hand and immediately exclaimed,¡±Be careful behind you!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not even turn his head back. He hugged Zuo Yue tightly and turned around to give a beautiful roundhouse kick the moment the hooligan with a knife approached. Then, he kicked the hooligan¡¯s abdomen effortlessly and sent him flying a few meters away. In an instant, he turned a blind eye to everything around him and hugged her as he walked away. Zuo Yue had no way to stand firm but she was leaning against him so intimately. She then remembered that he had been sick for a few days and was still able to protect her at this time. There was a surge of emotions in her heart that was about to burst out. She struggled uncomfortably as she shouted,¡±I can walk by myself! Let go of me!¡± However, he acted as if he did not hear her and carried her to the roadside. When she saw the black Porsche, Zuo Yue could not resist his hand. She suddenly turned her head and bit his shoulder. Xu Chengfeng suddenly stopped in his tracks, but he did not move, allowing her to bite him so fiercely. Zuo Yue did not have much strength now. No matter how hard she tried, she could not concentrate. However, she still felt that she had bitten him. He did not move at all. After biting for a long time, she slowly raised her head and glared at him with red eyes.¡±Why should someone who has already left come back? Didn¡¯t you already get out of my world? Then continue walking! Let¡¯s go!¡± She almost pulled her neck and shouted at him with red eyes,¡±If you have the ability to leave, don¡¯t come back! Don¡¯t ever come back! Go!¡± Chapter 1130 - Chapter 1130: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (215) Chapter 1130: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (215) Xu Chengfeng hugged her tightly while Zuo Yue pushed his chest with her hand. Her eyes were already red. ¡°Let¡¯s go! Go far away! Don¡¯t ever see each other again!¡± ¡°I¡¯m already prepared to never find you in my life! What right do you have to appear as if nothing had happened? What right do you have? If you want to leave, then leave. Hurry up and get lost! Go! Don¡¯t ever come back!¡± Zuo Yue leaned against his chest and shouted non-stop, almost roaring,¡±¡±You go!¡± It was as if Zuo Yue, who had been trying her best to stay calm and keep a distance from him when she was sober, had disappeared in an instant. It was as if she could only shout and scold him when she was drunk. However, no matter how Zuo Yue struggled in his arms, the man did not move at all. She was tired of crying and her hands were tired of hitting him. She sniffed and turned her head to look at the road with a blank expression.¡±I can go home by myself. I can take a taxi home by myself¡­I don¡¯t want to go back to that villa of yours. It¡¯s filled with my past childishness and stupidity. I don¡¯t want to step into that place again¡­ I don¡¯t want to be that Zuo Yue anymore¡­¡± As she spoke, she looked across the road. Suddenly, she seemed to see a figure. Was that¡­? Although Zuo Yue had drunk too much, she could at least recognize that person¡¯s figure. That wasn¡¯t Gu An, okay? Gu Anhao had come to the United States to study in Boston after divorcing her brother, Zuo Hancheng. Why was she here? Then, she saw a few girls around Gu Anhao¡¯s age. They seemed to be passing by with a few roommates and did not see her direction. Zuo Yue sniffed and waved her hand in that direction as if she had seen her savior. She said loudly,¡±¡±Hey! Sister-in-law¡­Sister-in-law¡­¡± The road was too wide, and there were too many cars passing by. Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was drowned out by the passing cars. Gu Anhao, who was still on the opposite side of the road, did not hear Zuo Yue¡¯s voice at all. However, Gu Anhao was chatting and laughing with her friends. It seemed that she had gradually gotten over the divorce with Zuo Hancheng and the things that happened in China. Her hair had grown a lot, and she looked much more mature and capable than before. She took out a notebook from her bag and was discussing something with her friend. They were discussing very seriously. ¡°Sis-in-law! Sister-in-law, I¡¯m here¡­Sister-in-law, I¡¯m Zuo Yue¡­¡± Zuo Yue still did not give up, waving her hands and shouting in that direction. At the same time, she wanted to break free from Xu Chengfeng¡¯s embrace.¡±¡±Let go of me! I saw my brother¡¯s wife! I met someone familiar. I¡¯ll ask my sister-in-law to send me back! Let go of me!¡± However, just as she finished speaking, Xu Chengfeng had no intention of letting her go with anyone else. Just as Zuo Yue was about to continue shouting in Gu Anhao¡¯s direction and break free from his embrace, he suddenly pulled her back. At the same time, he reached out to open the car door and threw her into the car. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Zuo Yue fell into the car. Before she could sit up, the car door was slammed shut from the outside. She raised her hand to cover her head, which was about to split open from the pain of drinking too much and shaking violently. She struggled to sit up, but just as she sat up, Xu Chengfeng had already gotten into the car. She raised her hand and stopped him from starting the engine.¡±¡±Don¡¯t¡­ I¡¯m not going to your place¡­ I want to go home¡­ I¡¯ll go home¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold voice was heard.¡±¡±Sure, I¡¯ll send you home.¡± Zuo Yue felt wronged. She wanted to catch up with Gu Anhao while she was drunk. ¡°I saw my sister-in-law. I haven¡¯t contacted her since she divorced my brother. I want to talk to her and ask her to return to my brother¡¯s side. How can you do this¡­Let me out of the car¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng sneered,¡±First, you should deal with your own matters before you interfere in other people¡¯s business.¡±¡± Zuo Yue immediately raised her eyes to glare at him, but Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not see it and directly waved her hand away.¡±¡±Sit tight.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him and fell backward. She did not even bother to fasten her seatbelt.¡±I drank too much and can¡¯t sit properly!¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her but did not lose his temper. He reached out to help her fasten her seatbelt and casually tucked the hair on both sides of her cheeks behind her ears. Such gentle and meticulous movements made Zuo Yue suspect that she might have drunk too much and was hallucinating. She closed her eyes and turned her head away as if she didn¡¯t exist, but it was obvious that she was unwilling. Not far away across the road, Gu Anhao had accompanied her roommates to a classmate¡¯s birthday party. As they walked back, they discussed the design drawings and notes that they were going to make. They vaguely heard someone shouting. The voice was somewhat familiar, but they didn¡¯t hear her name, so they didn¡¯t think much of it. It wasn¡¯t until the black Porsche suddenly drove away that she turned to look in that direction. However, she only looked at it for a while and felt that something was strange. When her roommate next to her spoke to her, she turned her head back and didn¡¯t take it seriously anymore. However, Zuo Yue, who was in the car, sat in the front passenger seat with an unhappy expression on her face because her sister-in-law did not notice her. She looked at Gu Anhao, who was standing across the road, through the window. Indeed, she had not even figured out her own relationship path yet, so how could she have the mood to care about the matter between Gu Anhao and Zuo Hancheng? Moreover, Zuo Hancheng had also instructed her to secretly visit Anhao more than a year ago, and he did not allow her to have any interactions with Anhao. It was indeed inappropriate for her to call Gu Anhao over now. After all, she had already divorced and could not be considered as a sister-in-law. Zuo Yue turned her face away with a vexed expression. She closed her eyes and went straight to sleep. Xu Chengfeng, Gu Anhao, and Zuo Hancheng had nothing to do with her! It was alright! However, after a long time, she suddenly opened her slightly red eyes and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was driving, with a puzzled expression.¡±Do you know where my house is?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but she looked at the route outside the window, as if he really knew. Could it be that he knew everything she had experienced in the United States over the past few years, all the places she had lived and the places she had been to? Zuo Yue looked at the apartment building that was getting closer and closer to her with a puzzled expression. It was not until Xu Chengfeng parked the car accurately at her apartment building that she raised her hand to stroke her head that was in unbearable pain. She did not want to say another word and simply said,¡±Thank you, I¡¯m home.¡± After saying that, she unbuckled her seatbelt and wanted to get out of the car. However, as soon as she pushed open the car door, her legs went weak and she fell out of the car. She knelt on the ground and felt as if her knee had been skinned. There was a burning pain. Chapter 1131 - Chapter 1131: [Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon](216) Chapter 1131: [Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon](216) ¡°Hiss-¡± Zuo Yue was in so much pain that she knelt on the ground and could not move for a long time. Then, she heard the sound of the car door on the other side opening and being slammed shut. Her scalp went numb. She knew that once she drank and met Xu Chengfeng again, nothing good would happen. Sure enough, Xu Chengfeng had already arrived in front of her in an instant. Because Zuo Yue¡¯s knee was injured, and because she was still drunk and could not stand up, Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her like this. There was a hint of helplessness in his cold eyes. ¡± You want to go back to your own? He did not immediately lean down to help her up. Instead, he lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently. When he spoke, his tone was so annoying that Zuo Yue wanted to scratch his face. Zuo Yue held back her anger and endured the pain in her knees. She did not want to ask him for anything anyway. She held her temper and ignored him. She rolled her eyes and placed her back on her knee to relieve the pain. She said unhappily,¡±Anyway, it¡¯s none of your business!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her and watched as she struggled on the ground for a long time without being able to stand up. In the end, he suddenly reached out and pulled her up. After Zuo Yue was forcefully pulled up, she flung his hand away as if she had burned the bridge after crossing the river.¡±¡±Let go! Don¡¯t worry about me! I haven¡¯t even asked you how you know I live here. Since we¡¯re already here, there¡¯s no need for you to send me off! You can go now!¡± As she spoke, she wanted to take two steps forward so that she could leave his car door. However, just as she took a step forward, the burning pain on her knee made her slightly tipsy face turn pale. She gritted her teeth and walked past him without saying a word. Suddenly, the world spun before her eyes, and Zuo Yue was lifted up by the waist. She suddenly turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, but his expression was calm and emotionless as he held her firmly in his arms. Ignoring the shock in her eyes and the resistance that she did not have time to show, he kicked the car door and turned around to carry her into the front door of the apartment. ¡°Hello¡­ Put me down.¡± When Zuo Yue came back to her senses, he had already carried her to the elevator door. She suddenly opened her mouth and struggled to jump out of his arms. ¡°How do you plan to go back by yourself?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s tone was indifferent. At the same time, he glanced at her knee, which was bleeding.¡±¡±You can fall like this after getting off the car. Have you grown up?¡± Zuo Yue was furious.¡± I was drunk, so I couldn¡¯t stand properly.¡± It has nothing to do with me growing up!¡± She still hadn¡¯t come back to her senses from the kiss he had forced on her in the villa. She really didn¡¯t want to talk any more nonsense with him, so she only twisted her body in his arms.¡±Put me down! I¡¯ve lived here for almost three years. Many people recognize me. If you carry me here to take the elevator, others will misunderstand!¡± ¡°What misunderstanding?¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t even glance at the occasional gazes from the surroundings. Whether it was the surprised gazes of the security guards in front of the apartment or the curious whispers of some neighbors, it was as if they didn¡¯t exist in his eyes. ¡°You misunderstood our relationship!¡±Zuo Yue said angrily,¡±Don¡¯t hug me so tightly. Take your hand away¡­¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly glanced at her, and the hand that was firmly draped behind her shoulder suddenly loosened a little. Zuo Yue swayed in his arms and almost fell down. She instinctively hugged his neck with both hands and looked down at the ground in shock. She hugged his neck tightly as if she was afraid of falling down. When she finally reacted, she suddenly looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face. She saw that his face was calm, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. She gritted her teeth and glared at him.¡±I¡¯m asking you to let me down! I¡¯m not asking you to let go just like that! Are you trying to kill me?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just sending you home.¡±Xu Chengfeng replied indifferently as if nothing had happened. The elevator doors opened at the same time, and he carried her in. Zuo Yue was speechless. It was as if there was a neighbor who was passing by. His gaze had already drifted over in their direction. What was more attractive was not that Zuo Yue was being hugged by a stranger, but that Zuo Yue¡¯s own hands were hugging the man¡¯s neck even tighter. It gave the feeling of a deep love that she could not bear to let go and could not bear to separate. Sensing the gazes of those familiar faces, Zuo Yue really wished that the ground would crack open and let herself in. She buried her face into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s shoulder with a face full of hatred. When the elevator door closed, the few people who were also in the elevator stood behind them. Although they did not deliberately look at them, in such a small space, they could not help but size them up. ¡°Miss Zuo, is this your boyfriend?¡±One of the Chinese aunties, who had often met Zuo Yue during her morning run in the past two years, suddenly spoke up. Although she was asking with a smile, Zuo Yue was too embarrassed to even raise her head. After a long time, she turned her eyes and smiled awkwardly at the auntie. She explained,¡±No¡­¡± However, before she could finish her explanation, the elevator suddenly stopped. The Chinese auntie looked at her with a smile and then looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had a different kind of smile in his eyes. She nodded at the two of them with a face full of blessings and walked out directly. ¡°Auntie, Auntie is not what you think. He and I are not¡­He¡¯s not my boyfriend, Auntie¡­¡± Seeing the elevator door close, Zuo Yue turned around and explained to the people outside. However, before she could finish speaking, the auntie had already walked far away. At the same time, the elevator door slowly closed. Zuo Yue looked at the closed elevator door with a helpless expression. Then, she suddenly looked up at Xu Chengfeng, who seemed to be in a good mood.¡±You did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her with a calm and innocent expression. ¡°You¡¯re deliberately making others misunderstand!¡± Zuo Yue said unhappily. At the same time, her hand moved away from his neck and stopped hugging him. There were two other young men in the elevator who were familiar with Zuo Yue. However, the young woman was not particularly close to Zuo Yue. She usually did not speak when she saw Zuo Yue. Now that she saw Zuo Yue being hugged by such a tall, handsome man with such a strong aura, she simply stood in the corner and rolled her eyes in their direction from time to time. Zuo Yue did not have any thoughts about that woman. She was so drunk that she could not stay awake. If she had not drunk, she would not have let Xu Chengfeng carry her home even if her legs were broken. Chapter 1132 - Chapter 1132: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (217) Chapter 1132: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (217) After she finally got out of the elevator, Zuo Yue wanted to point in the direction of her house. After all, this apartment was a two-story apartment with four units. There were four doors on this floor. In the end, Xu Chengfeng carried her to her door without any mistakes. Zuo Yue looked at her door in surprise and then looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s calm expression, as if everything was as it should be. ¡°What are you looking at? Open the door.¡± Only then did he put her down and support her against the door. Zuo Yue took out the key card from her bag with a displeased expression and muttered unhappily,¡±¡±Did you investigate me?¡± Xu Chengfeng merely glanced at her.¡±¡±You wrote your address clearly on the internship information. Do you still need me to investigate?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. Have you seen my internship information?¡± Xu Chengfeng snorted.¡± For a company like King Corporation, those who can sit in the position of general manager are all smart people. Your boss clearly saw that our relationship is not ordinary, so he sent your internship information and all kinds of letters related to you to me early on. I just casually flipped through them.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart instantly felt stifled. Although Xu Chengfeng¡¯s ambiguous words did not deny that he had investigated her, being betrayed by his own superior was indeed too depressing. Her expression was ugly as she opened the door and immediately wanted to walk inside. However, her legs were too painful and she almost fell into the door. Xu Chengfeng immediately helped her up. At the same time, he lowered his eyes and saw her angry expression. He could not help but snort and laugh.¡±You¡¯re so drunk, yet you still have the cheek to throw a tantrum at me.¡± Zuo Yue did not say a word. She was only thinking about the company. When she sat down on the sofa, she suddenly looked up and said,¡±Didn¡¯t you tell them that we¡¯re relatives?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never told you about our relationship.¡±¡±Whether they are relatives or related to each other is their own guess,¡± Xu Chengfeng said calmly.¡± Zuo Yue felt even more stifled. He had a feeling that his internship at King Corporation would be very difficult¡­ He would have to face the curious gazes and colored gazes of many people. She had obviously relied on her own abilities to enter King Corporation. Now, in the eyes of many people, she probably relied on the big BOSS, Xu Chengfeng. She sat on the sofa without saying a word and leaned back with her eyes closed. Then, she noticed that Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any intention of leaving. She immediately looked up at him unhappily.¡±You¡¯ve already delivered it. What else do you want? I don¡¯t intend to keep you. Aren¡¯t you still a patient? Hurry up and go back!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze only lingered on her angry face for a short moment before he suddenly looked at the box of women¡¯s cigarettes on her coffee table. Then, he glanced at the half-opened bottles of wine in the wine cabinet not far away. At the same time, he saw a few wine glasses beside the wine cabinet. As he looked at all the furnishings in her house, Zuo Yue felt a sense of crisis as if everything that had happened in the past few years had been seen through by him. She quickly jumped up, but the pain in her knee made her fall back onto the sofa with a hiss. She reached out and covered her knee with force, and she cried out in pain,¡±It hurts so much¡­¡± The pain of the skin being scraped was several times more painful than the pain of losing a piece of flesh! Xu Chengfeng¡¯s body was already a little tense. Zuo Yue pretended that she did not see him and moved her face away from him. Then, she turned to look at the box of cigarettes on her coffee table. She thought about it and was about to take it when he was not paying attention. However, Xu Chengfeng casually picked up the box of cigarettes before she made a move. Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly tightened. It was clearly not his place to care about her, but she still instinctively opened her mouth to explain nervously,¡±¡±That, that¡¯s someone else¡­When someone came to my house to smoke, they accidentally left the rest of their cigarettes here¡­¡± After explaining, she felt that her words were a little too obvious. Just as she was about to add another sentence, Xu Chengfeng had already picked up the bag she had thrown on the coffee table with a cold expression. ¡°Hey, you¡­¡± Before Zuo Yue Lai could stop him, the box of cigarettes that was missing a cigarette had already fallen into his hands. It also included a pink lighter. Xu Chengfeng held the lighter and looked at the two boxes of women¡¯s cigarettes. His expression could no longer be described as dark clouds pressing down on the city. ¡°Are you smoking now?¡± Such an obvious answer came from the mouth of a man who never spoke nonsense. Zuo Yue could feel his dissatisfaction. But could he care? Zuo Yue pursed her lips and her expression suddenly calmed down.¡±¡±Whether I smoke or not has nothing to do with you. What happens to me has nothing to do with you. You have no right to control me. Moreover, I¡¯m not a child under the age of eighteen. No matter what kind of life I lead, it¡¯s not your place to ask.¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned slightly because of her words. Zuo Yue deliberately did not pay attention to his eyes and only turned her head to look out the window. Xu Chengfeng suddenly chuckled. However, that gentle laugh made her feel a chill that penetrated into her bones. She suddenly turned her eyes and glared at him.¡±What are you laughing at? Even if I know what I¡¯ve been living like these past few years, it¡¯s not your place to laugh at me! Xu Chengfeng, in this world, you are the least qualified to laugh at me!¡± As she spoke, she suddenly stood up, as if she had forgotten the pain in her knees for a moment. She reached out to snatch the lighter and cigarette back from his hand. Xu Chengfeng only raised his hand slightly, but she could not catch him. She staggered and the pain in her knee made her fall onto the coffee table. The bag, magazines, and glasses on the coffee table fell to the ground in an instant. The crackling sound was like the high wall in her heart collapsing in an instant. Xu Chengfeng suddenly helped her up, but Zuo Yue shook him off the moment he touched her as if she had been electrocucuted.¡±¡±Get lost! Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Her tears fell instantly, but she lowered her head and refused to let him see her. All the pain from three years ago almost broke through her three years of strength. She sniffed and tried to stand up with her hands on the coffee table. However, after trying for a long time, she still felt pain from the edge of the coffee table. She gritted her teeth and wanted to get up, but in the end, Xu Chengfeng reached out and pulled her up. The moment she got up, she was about to wave his hand away, but Xu Chengfeng held her shoulder firmly and looked down at her red eyes and tears.¡±Zuo Yue!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me! You have no right to call my name!¡± Zuo Yue suddenly cried and shouted as she tried to push him away. Xu Chengfeng suddenly pulled her into his arms, but Zuo Yue turned her head and bit his shoulder again. Chapter 1133 - Chapter 1133: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (218) Chapter 1133: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (218) Xu Chengfeng stiffened, but he did not push her away. When she bit him hard, he placed his hand on her back and felt her sudden anger. She did not know how many times she had bitten him that night, but every time, it was because she did not have enough strength that she could not even bite out a trace of blood. Zuo Yue raised her head unwillingly and looked at the wet patch on his shoulder that she had bitten. Suddenly, she turned her head and wanted to bite him in another direction. She did not believe that she could not bite him! She turned around and bit his other shoulder for a while. She was really too drunk and did not have much strength. In the end, even her own cheeks were sore, but Xu Chengfeng did not cry out in pain. She raised her head and looked at his shoulder again. She looked up at him with her eyes and said,¡±¡±Are your shoulders and your heart made of iron? Why can¡¯t it be bitten?¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed helplessly. He wanted to say something, but seeing how drunk she was, he could only sigh softly and caress her cheek.¡±If you want to bite me, bite me tomorrow. You drank so much wine, go to sleep first.¡± Zuo Yue shook her head. I can¡¯t sleep¡­¡± She sniffed and suddenly pointed at the door.¡±You, you go¡­¡± The drunkenness lingered in his head. The venting and crying just now seemed to have forced the alcohol up again. The finger pointing at the door was also a lot off, but he still stubbornly said,¡±The world will be peaceful after you leave¡­ Hurry up and leave¡­¡± Noticing that he did not speak, Zuo Yue directly went around the coffee table and pounced on him. When Xu Cheng held her wrists with both hands to support her, she pulled her hands out of his palm and raised her hand to push him in front of his chest.¡±You go¡­Hurry up and leave¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng pressed her hand down and glanced at the wine cabinet in her living room. The coldness in his eyes became even colder, and the strength he used to restrain her wrist instantly increased. Zuo Yue frowned.¡± I¡¯ve already chased you away. Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Do you know that this is considered trespassing? Hurry up and leave¡­ Let¡¯s go!¡± She pushed him as she spoke. Xu Chengfeng did not resist after pushing him a few times and just let her push him hard. He slowly took a few steps back, and Zuo Yue leaned forward with him. Suddenly, she covered her stomach with her hand in discomfort. Then, she turned around and staggered in the direction of the bathroom. Seeing her action, Xu Chengfeng immediately let go of her hand. When Zuo Yue ran into the bathroom, he glanced in the direction she went. He walked over and turned on the light in the bathroom for her. The bathroom was instantly lit up. Zuo Yue directly threw herself at the toilet bowl and bent down to vomit. The sound of vomiting was particularly obvious in the quiet room. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows were slightly furrowed as he watched her vomit non-stop in front of the toilet bowl. It was not until Zuo Yue suddenly knelt down beside the toilet bowl weakly and was about to vomit that he suddenly reached out and helped her up. He helped her lean over the toilet bowl and continued vomiting. In the end, when she vomited until her stomach was empty, Zuo Yue leaned into his arms as if all the bones in her body were gone. She rubbed her head against his body in a daze and said uncomfortably,¡±¡±Why haven¡¯t you left yet¡­¡± ***** ¡°Hiss-¡± Zuo Yue was suddenly woken up by a sharp pain in her knee. She opened her eyes abruptly, but the world was still spinning. However, the pain in her knee was still there. She kept screaming in pain. When she turned around, she saw someone concentrating on applying medicine on her knee. This scene was too familiar. It was so familiar that it was as if she had returned to three years ago. She was always injured here and there, and there was also the man who often helped her apply medicine and protected her behind because of her reckless injuries. The scene in front of him gradually blurred. The man was still the same man from three years ago. However, the surrounding environment had changed. This was her own apartment, her own bedroom. It was her¡­ Wait a minute! Why was she wearing a bathrobe? Zuo Yue suddenly came back to her senses. She lowered her head and looked at the bathrobe on her body. She felt as if she had just taken a shower. Her hair was already half-dry. There was definitely nothing under the bathrobe. She then looked at the man who was applying medicine to the wound on her knee. She did not seem to have a deep impression of what happened before she fell asleep. She remembered that she had a big fight with him again. She remembered that he had found out that she smoked and drank often. She remembered that she had vomited, and it was very uncomfortable. What happened after that? Why was she suddenly lying there in a bathrobe? She was sure that she did not have the strength to bathe and wear a bathrobe in her previous state. The medicine on her knee had been applied evenly. Zuo Yue leaned against the headboard and endured the excruciating pain from the medicine on her knee. She frowned as she looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had put away the medicine and stood up. ¡°Did you help me bathe?¡± Seeing that he clearly knew that she was awake but did not come to say anything to her, Zuo Yue leaned weakly against the headboard and looked at him as she asked softly. Xu Chengfeng paused and turned to look at her.¡±¡±He was drunk like a dead dog and was thrown into the bathtub by me.¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. After throwing her into the bathtub, she even helped her dry her hair, put on her bathrobe, and applied medicine on her injured knee. She should really be thankful that her bathtub had such a ¡± fully automatic ¡± function. Her head was hurting so badly that she had no mood or energy to continue arguing with him. She looked down at her knees again.¡±I don¡¯t have any medicine for external injuries at home. Did you specially buy it?¡± ¡°I called a doctor friend over just now. He examined your leg and confirmed that it was only a skin wound. After confirming that it did not hurt your ligaments or joints, he left after throwing a tube of ointment.¡±By the time Xu Chengfeng finished speaking, he had already walked out of the bedroom. What did he mean by leaving a tube of ointment behind? She called the doctor and said it so indifferently. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at the door of the bedroom. Although she really wanted to ask him why he took off his clothes and why he gave her a bath. However, thinking about what happened three years ago, it was not the first time she had been naked in front of him. Even if it was a little awkward now, if she really ran out to question him, she would probably be extremely coquettish. She tried to turn over on the bed. Although her knees hurt, it was only a superficial pain and did not affect her turning over. She had no intention of getting up. She just lay on the bed and casually grabbed the half-dried hair by her ear and wrapped it around her fingertips. Xu Chengfeng went out to collect the medicine and washed his hands before returning. He had originally planned to let Zuo Yue drink some honey water to relieve the discomfort in his stomach, but when he returned to the bedroom, he saw that Zuo Yue had already fallen asleep. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. This girl was really¡­Living more and more heartlessly¡­ Chapter 1134 - Chapter 1134: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (219) Chapter 1134: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (219) The next morning. Zuo Yue opened her eyes and found that the curtains in her room were tightly shut. There was not a single ray of light coming in. She sat up abruptly and turned around to look for her phone. She finally found her phone on the cabinet beside the bed. She took it over and saw that it was already nine in the morning. The most important thing was that it was Monday! God¡­ She raised her hand and grabbed her hair. She quickly turned around and got off the bed and ran out of the bedroom. She was planning to go to the bathroom to wash up, but as soon as she ran out, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She felt that something was missing in the living room. Her eyes darted around the living room and finally stopped at the wine cabinet in the corner. The dozen bottles of wine in the wine cabinet had all disappeared. She subconsciously turned to look at the coffee table. The coffee table was clean and tidy, with only a glass and a few magazines. There were a few unopened boxes of cigarettes and a pink lighter in the trash bin beside it. The muscles on her forehead twitched. She didn¡¯t need to think to know why. She immediately raised her hand and placed it on her waist. She paced back and forth in the room. When she heard the sound from the kitchen, she quickly walked over. However, as soon as she walked into the kitchen, her eyes froze. It seemed like she had not seen Xu Chengfeng in the kitchen for a long time. Standing here, she could smell the familiar smells that made her dream of three years ago. Those simple but delicious breakouts, the taste of her favorite sugar egg and fish soup. Xu Chengfeng did not turn around when he heard the noise outside the kitchen. However, he could tell from the sound of her approaching footsteps that she wanted to settle scores with him. However, Xu Chengfeng did not seem to notice that she was standing in front of the kitchen door and glaring at him. He still had his back to her and was calmly making breakfast. It had been three years since he entered the kitchen. Although he was not out of practice, it was obvious that Zuo Yue rarely used the kitchen in this apartment. Many of the kitchen utensils were too new and he could not use them well. He had to pay full attention to the fire on the stove and the ingredients waiting to be washed and cut. Seeing the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, Zuo Yue suppressed her temper and turned to look at the empty wine cabinet. She wondered if Xu Chengfeng had slept last night and threw away all her wine overnight. Those weren¡¯t cheap wines! One of them was a bottle of Lafite given to her by a boy who was chasing her last year. Although it was not as precious and rare as the 1982 one, it was still 1992, so it was not cheap either! This prodigal man! Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at his back and turned around to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth and take a shower. When she took a shower, she looked at her body and remembered that it was Xu Chengfeng who helped her take a shower last night. Back then, she had vomited so much¡­ Her gaze drifted towards the toilet bowl and she thought about how she had slept so soundly last night. Zuo Yue suddenly sighed. It was as if she could no longer remember how she had spent her days and nights for the past three years. However, it seemed that only this night had been the most peaceful, and only this morning when she woke up was still like this. Otherwise, she would fall asleep after smoking and drinking every day. She would go out for a morning run without eating in the morning, and then rush to school or the company with a rumbling stomach. When her mother was not by her side, no one cared if she ate breakfast or slept well. If her mother came to her apartment and found her cigarettes and alcohol, she would throw them away quietly like Xu Chengfeng and forbid her from touching those things again. Fruit! Ran! Yes! Long! Generation! Ah! Zuo Yue was lying in the bathtub. Suddenly, she sank her body and head into the water in frustration. She held her breath for a long time before she came out again. She raised her hand to wipe the water off her face and sighed to the air outside the water. She was in a daze in the bathtub when Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold and deep voice suddenly came from outside the bathroom door.¡±¡±Come out for breakfast.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything at first. After a while, the corner of her mouth twitched and she stood up from the water. A few minutes later, she came out wearing a clean set of clothes that she had brought in earlier. As she walked out, she tilted her head and dried her hair with a towel. She looked up and saw Xu Chengfeng sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee elegantly. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him, walked over, and placed the towel heavily on the dining table before sitting opposite him. Seeing Xu Chengfeng drinking his coffee and reading a business magazine on the coffee table, she snapped,¡±¡±I remember that you never drink instant coffee. I only have one packet of instant coffee at home. Why are you drinking this now?¡± Xu Chengfeng put down his cup but did not look at her. He casually flipped a magazine page and said,¡±¡±I can even investigate you now that you¡¯re living like this, let alone a packet of instant coffee.¡± Zuo Yue gritted her teeth. I didn¡¯t ask you to stay to take care of me, nor did I ask you to make breakfast for me, nor did I ask you to take off my clothes last night!¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand, which was about to pick up the coffee cup again, paused and he looked at her indifferently. It was just an indifferent glance, but it had a profound meaning that made Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skip a beat. She quickly picked up the cutlery and began to eat, pretending that she had not said anything just now. After a few bites, she suddenly looked at her phone worriedly. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her coldly. Are you waiting for a call?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zuo Yue stretched out her hand and pressed on her phone. She looked at the time displayed on the screen and saw that it was already ten in the morning.¡±It¡¯s Monday today. I¡¯m late for work.¡± Xu Chengfeng immediately looked at her in understanding. When Zuo Yue put her phone back to the side with a depressed expression and continued to eat absentmindedly, Xu Chengfeng said,¡±¡±There¡¯s no hurry. I¡¯ll send you to the company after you¡¯re full.¡± Zuo Yue choked on the mouthful of fish soup that had just entered her mouth. She turned her head and coughed hard. After coughing for a long time, she quickly raised her hand and waved it hard.¡±No need! I don¡¯t need you to send me off! At most, one or two points would be deducted from his internship results! I don¡¯t want to build a relationship with you!¡± Although if she was sent to the company by Xu Chengfeng, no one would dare to question her about the reason for being late when they saw that she came with him, from then on, their relationship would be even more irreconcilable! She didn¡¯t want it! Xu Chengfeng did not seem to hear her rejection. He took another sip of coffee and said softly,¡±¡±Eat well.¡± Zuo Yue was faced with a table full of her favorite food in the past. Of course, she wanted to eat it well. However, now that Xu Chengfeng was sitting opposite her, she felt like she was choking on the fish soup. After she ate some more, she finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and suddenly asked,¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong with you recently? Didn¡¯t you always avoid me like a viper?¡± ¨C [Maybe there¡¯s a boat play tomorrow, or maybe it¡¯s the day after tomorrow. Cough, I¡¯m not sure about my progress either ~] Chapter 1135 - Chapter 1135: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (220) Chapter 1135: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (220) Xu Chengfeng scooped another bowl of fish soup for her and placed it in front of her. His voice was clear and indifferent.¡±What answer do you want me to give you?¡± Zuo Yue pondered for a moment, but in the end, she only smiled and chose to remain silent. After she was full, she pushed the bowl in front of her gently.¡±I¡¯m full. I can go to work by myself. If you like my place, you can stay here as long as you want. Moreover, look at me now. I actually have the potential to be a stay-at-home man. It just so happens that I¡¯ve been suffering from a hangover since last night and can¡¯t be bothered to clean the house.¡± After saying that, Zuo Yue did not even look at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression. She stood up and walked back to the bedroom in a carefree manner. She changed into the professional suit she was going to wear to the company and buttoned up the lady¡¯s shirt one by one. After putting on her clothes, she tied her dry hair into a simple ponytail with a hair band. She turned around and packed her bag before picking up her work badge. During this time, it was very quiet outside the bedroom. Zuo Yue held her work badge in her bedroom and glanced at the bedroom door. Although there was a door between them, it was so quiet outside. Xu Chengfeng was probably angered by her indifferent attitude just now. What else could she do? It would be best if he was so angry that he just walked away. It would be best if he didn¡¯t appear in her life again to mess up her emotions and feelings. It was still quiet outside. Zuo Yue stayed in the room for a while and looked at the time again. If she did not go now, she would probably lose points for today¡¯s internship. She quickly raised her hand to tidy up her clothes and quickly walked to the door to open it. The moment she opened the door, she was met with a pair of black eyes. Zuo Yue¡¯s movements froze. She saw Xu Chengfeng staring at her with his eyes lowered. His dark eyes were misty, and she could not see him clearly. However, there was her shadow in his eyes. Zuo Yue quickly moved her gaze away from his face and turned to look at the dining table that had not been cleaned up. She was indeed angered by her attitude just now. She knew that he would not really help her clean the room. ¡°It¡¯s already 10:30. If I go to the company now, I don¡¯t know if I can make it before 11:00. If I don¡¯t go now, my points will really be deducted.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was also a little stiff. She tried hard not to think about what happened in his villa yesterday, let alone what happened last night from the entrance of the bar to when she got home. She walked straight ahead and was about to go around him. When she brushed past him and turned to walk towards the door, her wrist was grabbed in an instant. She paused for a moment and struggled slightly but could not break free. She immediately turned her eyes and said,¡±You¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to know what I¡¯m doing?¡±Xu Chengfeng only gently pulled her back to her original position. Zuo Yue staggered a little because of inertia and leaned back against the corner of the bedroom door. When she looked up again, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s dark eyes. She calmed herself down and tried to calm herself down.¡±That was the question just now. I have to go to work now!¡± ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Even if you don¡¯t go for a whole day, no one will dare to say no.¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng, I never wanted to use your relationship to make my practical path in King Corporation go so smoothly. Since I didn¡¯t reveal my identity to enter King Corporation, I wanted to walk in the normal way. If I¡¯m late, then I¡¯m late. I don¡¯t need you to make an exception. If you do, no one will dare to say no. But what will others think of me in the future?¡± ¡°The normal way?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes suddenly flashed with a faint smile.¡±¡±You also know that your identity is abnormal?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°You¡¯re a child of the Zuo family, but you just had to go out and hide your identity as an intern who serves tea and copies documents. Do you think you¡¯re an ancient princess who went out to experience life?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s face tightened. [Change back to the topic of the previous one.] Just as Xu Chengfeng was about to lose his temper at the taunt, he changed the topic.¡±I¡¯ll tell you why I came back now.¡± As he spoke, he took a step forward. Zuo Yue seemed to have understood his emotions from his eyes. She subconsciously took a step back, but she was already leaning against the wall. There was no way to retreat. In the end, she could only lean closer to the wall. There was no way to retreat. She realized how awkward the place she was standing at was. She glanced to the side and wanted to dodge, but Xu Chengfeng only raised his hand and imprisoned her in the corner of the wall. Zuo Yue raised her eyes and glared at him.¡± If you have anything to say, let¡¯s sit over there and talk. Don¡¯t¡­¡± Her voice suddenly stopped as she looked at the handsome face in front of her in shock. She almost choked on her own saliva when Xu Chengfeng suddenly leaned over. She widened her eyes in shock.¡±Didn¡¯t you say the reason? Since you said the reason, why are you¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand had only casually placed it beside her little head, but it had almost pressed down on half of her head. She looked at him strangely, but when he suddenly held her head and face and kissed her, she curled up in the corner and felt a chill run down her spine. Didn¡¯t he want to tell her the reason? Why did he suddenly kiss her? She raised her hand but could not push him away. The harder she tried, the more fiercely he kissed her. When she tried to lift her leg, the man in front of her suddenly pressed his entire body against her, causing her to be squeezed into the corner of the wall until his lips and tongue entangled with hers. It was so deep that she could barely breathe. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and shrunk her neck to avoid it, but he held her tightly and did not let go. His hand was on the back of her neck, making it impossible for her to escape. He did not know how long this deep kiss lasted. It was as if all the oxygen in Zuo Yue¡¯s brain had been sucked out. It was not until she leaned against the wall weakly and had to rely on the strength of his hand to support herself, until her eyes were dazed and confused as she stared at him, that Xu Chengfeng kissed her lips lightly twice again and gradually left her lips. However, the way he hugged her tightly did not change. ¡°We agreed that you would tell me the reason, you¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, another passionate kiss came, until Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes turned red. Her entire heart trembled, and she did not understand why he was doing this. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips gradually moved up and landed on her nose, between her eyebrows, and finally on her forehead and hairline. He then hugged her like this, his clear and crisp aura surrounding her. It made her wonder if she was really too easily provoked. How could she be moved just like that? How could her heart ache just like that? Chapter 1136 - Chapter 1136: Asking the Moon on the Wind (221) Chapter 1136: Asking the Moon on the Wind (221) In the end, Xu Chengfeng just hugged her like this, as if she was the most precious treasure in the world. Although he did not speak, Zuo Yue could feel his steady heartbeat and the strength of his hug. ¡°Is this your reason?¡± Zuo Yue asked softly.¡± ¡°You know?¡± ¡°Am I the reason you came back?¡± Xu Chengfeng let go of her, but he did not let her leave the space between him and the wall. He looked down at her. Zuo Yue suddenly laughed lightly.¡± I clearly remember that I was the reason for you to leave. When will I become the reason for you to come back?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say a word. He just looked at her and raised his hand to cover her eyes. Suddenly, Zuo Yue felt his breath approaching, but because her eyes were blocked, she could not see what he was trying to do. It was only when his warm breath reached her ear that she raised her hand to pull his hand away. However, he could not let her go and covered her eyes directly. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zuo Yue was still muddle-headed until now. She was somewhat unhappy with the way he left and was even more unhappy with his decisiveness when he returned. Therefore, even though she was tempted just now, she still instinctively frowned and looked impatient. ¡°Do you prefer the kitchen, the living room, or the bedroom?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked.¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Yue suspected that she had heard wrongly. She suddenly raised her hand and pulled his hand down. She opened her slightly misty eyes and looked at the man in front of her, only to see that his eyes were serious. They were all adults. It was not like she could not understand such obvious words. However, these words were actually said by Xu Chengfeng, who had always been serious in front of her. He even looked at her like that, his gaze calm as if they were supposed to do something. Zuo Yue suddenly smiled, but it was a fake smile. She said in a completely confused state,¡±¡±What a joke¡­¡± After saying that, she wanted to push her away. Xu Chengfeng merely lowered his head and blocked her way without leaving a trace. His eyes were still on her, and he did not have the slightest intention of asking for her opinion. It was as if he was a robber, the robber who took back what he did not get three years ago. Zuo Yue did not dare to think in that direction. She turned her eyes away.¡±Xu Chengfeng, I told you I don¡¯t want to joke with you like this. I have to go to work!¡± ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips and pushed him hard without saying a word.¡±¡±Go away!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not move. ¡°Go away!¡± Zuo Yue suddenly raised her eyes. Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t play this kind of joke with me! I want to give you a big shot His voice suddenly stopped, Zuo Yue¡¯s brain instantly went into a dead state as the few buttons on her shirt popped open. She did not remember how Xu Chengfeng had suddenly pulled her clothes off. She did not remember how he had suddenly lifted her up horizontally. When she came back to her senses, she had already been pressed onto the soft bed in her bedroom. Her head buzzed, but her eyes were fixed on the man who did not seem to be joking. One word¡­I can¡¯t even say it¡­ Xu Chengfeng stood on top of her and looked down at her. His eyes were dark and his voice sounded calm, but it was filled with determination that made her heart tremble violently. ¡°I¡¯m not joking, Zuo Yue.¡± Zuo Yue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but he had already begun to slowly take off his clothes. He was clearly sick yesterday. She should have gone to work after eating and changing her clothes. Why did he not say anything when he wanted to say the reason? Why was he suddenly pressed down on the bed? Zuo Yue stared at him as he took off his clothes, and her head instantly heated up. She knew that Xu Chengfeng was a man with boundless charm, but she had never seen him take off his clothes in front of her so actively. Really! Him! Mother! Yes! It was sex! Sense! She snapped back to her senses and realized that she had forgotten all her principles over the past few years just because of the man in front of her. She suddenly wanted to get up, but just as she was about to get up, he casually pushed her and she fell back onto the bed with ease. The clothes on her body had been suddenly torn apart by him just now, and she had lost count of the number of buttons on her shirt. She was so shocked that she only realized now that he had just torn the professional suit she wore to work. She was instantly furious, and the moment she stood up, she was once again pressed down by him. Zuo Yue lowered her eyes to look at her legs that were forcefully separated by him, then looked up at him again.¡±Xu¡­¡± However, Xu Chengfeng suddenly whispered into her ear,¡±¡±Would I ever joke with you like this in the past?¡± Zuo Yue stared blankly at the ceiling. For a moment, she did not even have the strength to resist. It was because when he was saying that, his hand was crawling up her waist. His hand seemed to be burning, as if all the pores on his body were burning. Wherever his hand passed, there would be bursts of fire. Finally, he unzipped the hem of her dress¡­ Indeed, he had never joked with her like this before, and he had never been so determined. Zuo Yue¡¯s breathing was unstable as she suddenly reached out to hold his hand and stopped him from moving further. She looked at him in a daze. There was no hesitation or wavering in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes. However, when he looked at her, his eyes darkened. He easily separated her hand from his and took off her skirt. _______ When Zuo Yue¡¯s lower body was completely cold, she suddenly reached out and wanted to push his hand away. At the same time, she turned around under his body and wanted to escape. The man¡¯s voice rang in her ears, his voice extremely dangerous.¡±¡±You¡¯ve been back for so long, but you¡¯re only acting rashly now. You¡¯ve already given yourself enough time to vent and take revenge.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± He suddenly sucked and bit her neck. Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned pale from the pain. Her breathing became more and more rapid and difficult because of his kiss. She even started to pant uncontrollably. She repeatedly used her hands to block him, but he pulled off a few thin barriers on her body and went straight down. He easily reached out to her legs¡­She could clearly feel his muscles tense up because of his restraint. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes suddenly filled with tears. She could not bear it anymore and cursed,¡±¡±Did you f * cking come back to America just to f * ck me?! Back then, I didn¡¯t even care about my face to pester you. You didn¡¯t want it, so what right do you have now? Xu Chengfeng, what right do you have?¡± Chapter 1137 - Chapter 1137: Asking the Moon on the Wind (222) Chapter 1137: Asking the Moon on the Wind (222) Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was suddenly stopped again, but because the man did not hesitate to continue to attack, her whole body trembled, and her whole body went soft as she glared at him angrily. What was the saying? Tough mouth, but honest body Damn it, this was the situation she was in right now! Even when he had used all his foreplay and techniques on her, and she had already become a disaster, Zuo Yue suddenly turned her head away with tears in her eyes and refused to look at him again. She actually disliked him a little! He hadn¡¯t even gotten into the main topic yet, but he could already make her sink to this point. She didn¡¯t even have the strength to push him away. Her limbs were soft and numb. Who knew how many women he had done it with! He was almost thirty years old, and he had probably touched countless women. How did she fall in love with him for no reason back then? Zuo Yue suddenly reached out and held his arm, raising her eyes to look at him.¡±¡±Did you fall in love with some woman for the past three years and get hurt again? Now you¡¯re running back to me for comfort??¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her because of her sudden imagination in her current situation. The fire in his eyes almost burned her. Zuo Yue wanted to avoid his gaze, but he still held her chin. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was low and hoarse, as if he had already been strung like an arrow. He looked at her eyes that were filled with unwillingness to submit and spread his legs close to her body, looking down at her condescendingly. Zuo Yue turned her eyes away and refused to look at him. However, her entire body was hot, as if the alcohol from last night was still burning in her body. It was as if she was really drunk at this moment. It was not until he bent down and stared at her, with one hand supporting her face and the other slowly moving out to move around her legs that Zuo Yue shuddered because of the touch on his fingers. She could not tell if it was shame or embarrassment, but she closed her eyes and said with gritted teeth,¡± If the reason you came back is really because of¡­Xu Chengfeng, you really are¡­¡± The second half of her sentence was stuck in her throat, and she could not say it. Her entire body suddenly stiffened, and she arched her body slightly because of the sudden pain. Her face was pale. Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and looked at the man on top of her. This time, Xu Chengfeng did not cover her eyes again. He looked at her with his dark misty eyes. When Zuo Yue raised her hand with red eyes and was about to slap him in the face, he did not dodge. Even though he had received a slap from him, he still stayed where he was and did not move forward. It seemed that he was patiently waiting for her to adapt, but the tight muscles on his body could tell that he was enduring it. Knowing that it was her first time, he had already given her enough time and restrained himself from hurting her. However, no matter how much foreplay he had done, she was still too young. Xu Chengfeng stared at the instant paleness on her face. When Zuo Yue raised her hand to continue hitting his face like a madman, he only slightly dodged and raised his hand to grab her wrist. Because she was struggling so much, he could not bear it anymore and clenched her wrist tightly.¡±Don¡¯t move!¡± ¡°Bastard! Bastard! Xu Chengfeng, why don¡¯t you go to hell! You bastard!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart-wrenching sobs were muffled by the kiss that landed heavily on him when he leaned over. ********* He suddenly let go of her hand, and once her hands were free, she raised her hand and slapped his face and body forcefully as his movements became heavier and faster. Her fingernails scratched his cheeks and left two shallow bloodstains, leaving countless red marks on his body. She was so angry that she raised her head and wanted to bite him, but she snorted when he suddenly sank in. Xu Chengfeng did not make a sound and did not dodge. He let her hit him to vent her anger. However, because of her voice, his eyes lit up. He suddenly pinched her chin and rubbed his thumb on her lips. Zuo Yue was so angry that she wanted to turn her face away, but he bent down and kissed her gently on the lips. The kiss on her lips was gentle, but her lower body was the opposite. Her eyes were red and she refused to look at him. She only looked at the crystal lamp on the ceiling of her bedroom. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes until the pain was gradually replaced by a strange soft feeling. Zuo Yue suddenly closed her eyes and choked when she was completely immersed.¡±Do you know¡­To me, forgetting you is like the last cigarette a person who has quit smoking says to himself. I spent three years to quit you, so why did you appear again¡­Why did he appear¡­I¡¯m clearly about to succeed¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything, but suddenly bit down heavily on her neck. Zuo Yue¡¯s face scrunched up in pain, but her lower body instinctively curled up to dodge because of his increasing speed, but there was nowhere to hide. It was not until his hand grabbed her chest and kissed her collarbone that Zuo Yue was caught off guard and could not help but snort a few more times. He suddenly pressed down and wrapped his arm tightly around her neck, forcing her to look at him. Zuo Yue could not avoid it and could only passively endure his strength while looking at him angrily.¡±Bastard.¡± However, his voice was hoarse and weak. The more she acted like this, the hotter his gaze became, and the angrier she became. Just as he was about to kiss her, Zuo Yue took the lead to turn her face away to avoid his kiss. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips landed on her ear, but he suddenly chuckled softly in her ear. ¡°Be good and relax.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and glared at him. How could she relax when she was in so much pain? It wasn¡¯t like he didn¡¯t know that it was her first time! And so suddenly! She was not prepared at all! The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became. The more nervous she became, the tighter she unconsciously tightened her grip. Xu Chengfeng suddenly pressed his entire body weight on her body and sucked her earlobe at the same time. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and whispered,¡±¡±If you continue to be like this, I won¡¯t be able to continue to care about your feelings. Be obedient and relax¡­¡± Chapter 1138 - Chapter 1138: Asking the Moon on the Wind (223) Chapter 1138: Asking the Moon on the Wind (223) Zuo Yue felt that his words were extremely laughable. She resisted her own indulgence and said angrily,¡±¡±If you really cared about my feelings, you shouldn¡¯t be in my bedroom right now! You shouldn¡¯t have¡­ She looked at the two of them who were tightly pressed together. Her face was hot and her eyes were red as she said,¡±Get out. If you care about my feelings, get out.¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed hoarsely. He suddenly turned his face away and sighed at her lips,¡±¡±Too late.¡± He kissed her directly. When Zuo Yue wanted to push him away again, he pressed down on her. Even if he was no longer gentle, even if he was extremely heavy, he would not let go of her. ¡°Xu Chengfeng, you¡­¡± Why was this man suddenly so shameless? He forced his way into her house, forced her to stay overnight, forced her to stay in her house, and even forced her to go to work. Just like that, he suddenly swallowed her into his stomach! What was this? Zuo Yue struggled for a long time but was gradually extinguished by those indescribable feelings. This was truly an indulgence that transcended all five senses. She started off with angry shouts and curses, but in the end, it was reduced to uncontrollable gasps and moans. The bed was wet. It was unknown if it was the sweat of the two of them or something else¡­ She even forgot about the time. Her ears were filled with their breathing and the sounds that made her blush. She had never thought that she would become like this in bed one day. In the past few years, she had never thought that the person who had made her look like this and was even more indulgent than her was Xu Chengfeng! .. When it ended, the sky was already dark. It was almost time for dinner, let alone lunch. Zuo Yue turned over, but he suddenly came in from behind. She no longer had the strength to resist and could only lie on her side on the bed and let him wake her up again and again in a different way. She moaned softly with a hoarse voice, her hand clutching the corner of the pillow tightly by the side of her face¡­ Finally, it was over. Zuo Yue lay on the bed, unable to move at all. Her eyes were closed, and she did not even have the strength to open them. He was leaning against her, with one leg between her legs. He had no intention of letting go of her. Zuo Yue raised her hand to push him away, but she did not have the strength. In the end, she could only let him hug her. She could only close her eyes and barely fall asleep for a few minutes. However, not long after she fell asleep, she suddenly felt as if her body had been soaked in a pool of water. She was so shocked that she suddenly opened her eyes and realized that Xu Chengfeng had picked her up from the bed. She did not even know that she had been carried into the bathroom. The bathtub was already filled with water at a moderate temperature. Both of them were sweating a lot, but she really did not have the strength to get up and take a shower just now. ¡°Shower before sleeping.¡± After Xu Chengfeng placed her into the water, he helped her sit in the water to ensure that she would not fall into the water before letting her go. Until now, Zuo Yue had yet to wake up from her muddle-headed state. It was just that she did not understand why the relationship between the two of them had suddenly become so unclear. He lowered his eyes and looked at his body that was soaked in the water. The traces of intimacy pierced her eyes, reminding her of her indulgence this afternoon. She did not look at him again and only lowered her head and said,¡±I¡¯ll wash myself.¡± Xu Chengfeng noticed that although her apartment was not very big, there was still a small spare bathroom. He only glanced at her to make sure that she was very awake and had no intention of continuing to sleep, so he did not say anything. He casually helped her put the towel at the side where she could reach and turned to walk out. Zuo Yue only closed her eyes in the bathtub after the bathroom door was closed. She felt that the soreness in her body had subsided a lot after soaking in the water, but just thinking about what happened in the afternoon made her feel like she could be burned to ashes. How did things suddenly end up like this? She was so tired that she felt as if she had been tortured to death. She never knew that she could torture someone like this for the first time. Xu Chengfeng knew that it was her first time, but he was still concerned about whether she was in pain at the beginning. She couldn¡¯t even remember when she wanted to taunt him, so she called him uncle and even asked him if he felt good having sex with his niece. After that, he seemed to have lost control and no longer cared about how she begged for mercy. He ignored her tears and her hoarse voice, almost taking half of her life. Then, Zuo Yue unknowingly fell asleep in the water. When she opened her eyes again, she realized that her clothes had already been put on. She lay on the bed and covered herself with the blanket. She sat up abruptly and looked down to find that the bedsheets had been changed into new ones. Some of her bedsheets and new things were placed in the cupboard, which was indeed easy to find, but how long had she slept? He got out of bed and realized that his legs were weak from hunger. Of course, it was not just because he was hungry. Even though the soreness in his body had decreased a lot, the fatigue from the whole afternoon was still very obvious. She awkwardly put on her slippers and walked out of the bedroom while looking around. At the same time, she looked at the time. It was already two o¡¯clock at night, but Xu Chengfeng had not left and was not asleep yet. He hadn¡¯t slept since last night. He was still a patient with a high fever for a few days. Was he sure that his body wasn¡¯t made of iron? After Zuo Yue opened the door, she expressionlessly looked at the man who was sitting quietly on the sofa. He was holding her laptop as if he was reading some information while drinking coffee. He looked more like he was waiting for her. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked back at her indifferently. His tone and attitude sounded the same, as if he was not the one who had forcefully swallowed her in the afternoon, as if nothing had happened. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze swept over him coldly, then turned to look at the direction of the dining table. She did not see any food and immediately said,¡±¡±I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already booked dinner from a nearby hotel. It¡¯ll be delivered soon. Come over, I want to show you something.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was calm, but it was so serious that Zuo Yue felt that he really had something to show her. She walked over and saw him handing her his phone. Zuo Yue looked at him hesitantly. I slept with my own uncle once, and now I¡¯m worth nothing? You want to give me this phone?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± There¡¯s a DNA test I took and some related information inside.¡±¡± When Zuo Yue heard the word ¡®DNA,¡¯ she looked at him in surprise. She instinctively took the phone from him. When she saw the password on it, she pressed the four numbers 1010. Then, she ignored Xu Chengfeng¡¯s half-smile that had a different taste in it. She turned around and opened the photo album on his phone. Chapter 1139 - Chapter 1139: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (224) Chapter 1139: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (224) The black phone formed a sharp contrast with Zuo Yue¡¯s fair hands. She had been especially concerned about matters related to DNA since three years ago. When he suddenly mentioned it, he felt that there must be something fishy about it. She swiped her fingers across the screen and saw that there were indeed a few DNA photos in the photo album on his phone. Zuo Yue¡¯s hand paused on the screen. She hesitated for a moment and suddenly turned to look at Xu Chengfeng. She saw him sitting calmly on the sofa. There was nothing different about his calm attitude. She lowered her eyes to look at the photo on the phone screen, opened it, and zoomed in. After she finished looking at the photos, she suppressed the waves in her heart and slowly turned around to look at him again. ¡°When did you get the DNA results? Does my mom know? Did the Xu family know? This¡­ Is that true?¡± She looked at him in a daze and stood rooted to the ground. Xu Chengfeng casually patted the seat beside him, signaling for her to come over and sit. Zuo Yue walked over and sat beside him. At this moment, she said anxiously,¡± Is it true? Where are those documents? Are those documents from your investigation? Did you take a picture of it? Was it fake? Was there no mistake in the medical assessment?¡± ¡°You hope it¡¯s fake?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. As he spoke, he stared at her shocked face without batting an eyelid. His hand was casually placed on the back of the sofa behind her, and his gaze gently swept across her face. It seemed intimate, but also seemed to give her a safe distance to slowly digest the facts. Zuo Yue raised her phone again and looked at the photos carefully. As she looked at them, her hand that was holding the phone trembled. She was not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood? Xu Chengfeng was not the child who had been mistakenly carried by the Xu family back then¡­ Was he not her biological uncle? There was no blood relationship between the two of them! ¡°Is that true? Is that really the case¡­Is it really true¡­¡± Zuo Yue kept staring at the phone screen and muttered,¡±¡±Is this true¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand gently caressed the top of her head.¡±¡±Silly girl.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you tell me yesterday?¡± Why didn¡¯t you tell me before this?¡±She looked at his face at the same time and thought of the slap she had given him yesterday. She really couldn¡¯t understand why he had to wait until she had vented her anger at him before telling her this. ¡°I came back so late and let you suffer for three years. I have to give you a chance to vent.¡±Xu Chengfeng said gently,¡±Otherwise, with your temper, even if you know the truth, you will still be angry for the rest of your life and suffer alone.¡±¡± Zuo Yue then looked at the two red marks on his cheeks that were still visible. She remembered that she had really hit him hard when she was struggling under him yesterday. She remembered that she had really thought that she had been raped by her own uncle yesterday¡­ She thought that he had suddenly lost his rationality after three years, that he could now throw away his restraints and not consider her feelings anymore, and that he no longer had the thought of protecting her first no matter what. But in the end. However, it was only because they were no longer tied down by blood. She held her phone and looked at the photos. Just as she was engrossed in them, the video phone by the door suddenly rang. Xu Chengfeng patted her shoulder lightly, indicating that she did not need to get up. ¡°It¡¯s dinner for you. I¡¯ll go get it.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. When Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand landed on her shoulder, she inexplicably felt a strange atmosphere that seemed to be normal for love. How could he change his mood so easily when he had suddenly walked out of a relationship that had been abnormal? Even though she was secretly happy and excited, she still did not dare to confirm that miracles really existed in this world. A person who was once destined not to be with you and was even related to you by blood. A person who you had always called uncle. Suddenly, one day, he was no longer your uncle¡­ She did not notice when Xu Chengfeng opened the door. When she came back to her senses, she was awakened by a fragrance. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± When Xu Chengfeng passed by, he took the phone from her hand and threw it aside. Zuo Yue sat stiffly on the sofa for a while and did not move. Suddenly, she heard the sound of steady footsteps behind her. She could tell that Xu Chengfeng was coming over to catch her with his own hands. She quickly stood up before he could get close. She turned around to avoid his area and his breath and quickly walked to the dining table. Xu Chengfeng smiled subtly when he saw her walk over quickly. It seemed like her waist was no longer sore, her legs were no longer hurting, and she had more energy to walk. She was no longer as lazy as before, as if she had been ravaged by him. After Zuo Yue sat down, she started to eat. As she did not have many ingredients at home, Xu Chengfeng did not help to cook for her anymore. However, the dinner that she ordered from the hotel was just as delicious, and it was definitely to her taste. He still hadn¡¯t forgotten what she liked to eat after three years. However, Zuo Yue could only choose to eat quietly and not say anything because of the big surprise just now and the encounter in the afternoon. ¡°Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you.¡± Xu Chengfeng pushed her favorite food to her and sat across the table to eat. Zuo Yue ate a lot. She did not know what else to do besides eating. She suddenly did not know where to lose her temper and how to face this person in front of her. It could be said that she was a brand new person in her heart¡­ How to look at people from a new perspective¡­ Ah¡­ It¡¯s so tiring to live¡­Why did he have to do so many complicated things? Zuo Yue thought sadly. The more she thought about it, the more she ate. Her mouth was full. Suddenly, her phone rang. She turned to look at the screen and saw that it was her mother. She choked and her face turned red. She turned around and wanted to cough, but she still choked. When Xu Chengfeng saw this, he asked,¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Zuo Yue pointed at her own mouth with an uncomfortable expression.¡±¡±Oh¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face darkened and he passed her a glass of water. Zuo Yue grabbed the glass and quickly drank it. However, she still choked and felt uncomfortable. In the end, she turned around and coughed violently on the ground. She coughed until her face turned red and tears came out. The phone had already quieted down. Just as she raised her hand to pat her chest, the phone rang again. She looked at the call from her mother and immediately looked up at Xu Chengfeng with a terrified expression.¡±What should we do?¡± Chapter 1140 - Chapter 1140: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (225) Chapter 1140: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (225) Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome eyebrows moved slightly.¡± ¡°My mom called. What should I do? What should I say? Does she know?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her phone.¡±¡±I¡¯ll do what I have to do. I¡¯ll let her know about my relationship with the Xu family when the time is right.¡± ¡°So I can¡¯t tell my mom now, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng only raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he could do whatever she wanted. Was he going to leave her alone after telling her the truth? She might as well not know anything. Zuo Yue looked at her phone again. If she didn¡¯t answer it, her mother would probably be worried. She could only pat her chest that was choked and uncomfortable. She got up and picked up her phone to answer the call. As soon as he picked up, Xu Yuan¡¯s voice came through.¡±Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Working overtime?¡± ¡°No, just now¡­I¡¯m having dinner with my friends, so I didn¡¯t hear you.¡± Zuo Yue rubbed her chest after saying one sentence. ¡°Are you having dinner with your new colleagues? What time is it now? At two in the morning, you were eating with your colleagues?¡± Zuo Yue immediately felt like slapping herself to death. How could he have forgotten the crucial point of time! ¡°I mean, I¡¯m out eating and drinking with my colleagues and friends. It¡¯s not just eating. There must be some other entertainment activities¡­¡± Xu Yuan was silent for a moment before saying,¡±¡±I heard that your uncle has recently returned to Boston and seems to have some negotiations with the company you are currently interning at.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She knew that her mother must have heard something when she called so late at night. She suddenly turned around and looked behind her. Xu Chengfeng obviously heard the voice coming from her phone, but he still looked at her calmly and did not say anything. Looking into his calm eyes, Zuo Yue suddenly seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and walked to the balcony. She pushed open the French windows and walked up to the balcony. Only then did she start to find various reasons to talk to her mother. Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable lying to Xu Chengfeng. She finally found an excuse to say that it was a colleague¡¯s birthday, which was why she was out so late. She also said that she knew Xu Chengfeng was back, but she did not meet him face to face. It was not until Xu Yuan gave her a few more instructions that she must not go to see Xu Chengfeng again. After a few twists and turns, she finally hung up the phone. Zuo Yue stood on the balcony with her phone in her hand for a while before she turned around and returned to the dining table. She had already eaten a lot just now, so she didn¡¯t feel hungry anymore. She sat back down but didn¡¯t pick up the cutlery. Instead, she put down her phone and said,¡±The situation with the Xu family is so complicated now. Shouldn¡¯t you not let the Xu family and the Xu Corporation know about your matter for the time being?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were clear and he seemed to be pleased that she had been enlightened so quickly. At the same time, he said softly,¡±Indeed, if the Xu family didn¡¯t have so many complicated problems, your mother wouldn¡¯t have to hide anything.¡± ¡°So even if you and I might really not be related by blood, you have to pretend first. After all, the Xu family has no other bloodline to inherit. If your background is exposed, the Xu Corporation will definitely be in chaos, and the Xu family¡¯s foundation might collapse overnight, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but it was obvious that he had already tacitly agreed. No wonder he didn¡¯t say it out loud. It seemed that the Xu family could only think of their next move after the troublemakers in the Xu Corporation were eliminated and their foundation was stabilized. ¡°So your real identity is the child of the Chinese couple in Russia? If she wasn¡¯t mistaken, then there wouldn¡¯t be any other complicated relationship, right?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes were calm.¡± My parents are no longer alive. As long as it has nothing to do with the Xu family, my true identity is no longer important. I am only Xu Chengfeng, not someone¡¯s son.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. You¡¯re the CEO of the HR Group. You have your own business and reputation. I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll want to get involved with any of them as your background.¡±After Zuo Yue muttered a few words, she suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to have gone off topic. She suddenly became serious again and said,¡±Then you couldn¡¯t have just treated me like that before¡­¡± Recalling what happened in the afternoon, she couldn¡¯t say it out loud, but her eyes were still filled with obvious resentment.¡±I didn¡¯t say that even if we¡¯re not related by blood, I¡¯ll definitely do something with you now. Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t you think you¡¯ve gone too far?¡± ¡°Too much?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said calmly,¡±¡±Ask yourself, as a man who had to take a cold shower every time he thought of you for three years in a row, he could choose to avoid you because of your attitude. He could respect your current choice and leave. However, since you haven¡¯t let go of your feelings from back then, if I were to wait for you to take the initiative like before, it would probably be too late.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Who says I haven¡¯t let go? I¡¯ve clearly let go.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± You¡¯ve been drinking alone for the past three years, and you¡¯ve learned to smoke?¡±¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°You let go because you heard that I was sick and rushed to the villa to look for me? After taking care of her for a night, she ran over again the next day?¡± ¡°..¡± Zuo Yue suddenly stood up and turned to leave. If she continued to stay in front of her, she would be buried in the ground. Zuo Yue was about to turn around and go back to the bedroom when Xu Chengfeng glanced at her. He did not move at first, but when she really moved away, he suddenly stood up and grabbed her. She was suddenly pulled into his arms, and as soon as she got close, her face turned red. That completely unfamiliar feeling, as if she was flirting with a man she used to like, that feeling of being in a normal relationship baptized all her nerves. She only lowered her eyes for a moment before pushing him away.¡±Give me some time to digest the matter of blood relations. There¡¯s nothing for you to do here, so quickly go back to your place.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your place my place?¡± Xu Chengfeng spoke as if it was a matter of course. He pulled her back into his arms, but she turned around and was about to leave. He held her from behind and kissed her gently on the neck. It was so soft that her bones were numb. Such an ambiguous posture¡­ Zuo Yue was afraid that he would see her blushing, so she could only turn her head and say uncomfortably,¡±¡±You can be so shameless just because you¡¯re not related by blood, Xu Chengfeng¡­¡± Chapter 1141 - Chapter 1141: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (226) Chapter 1141: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (226) ¡°Although it¡¯s been so long, at least I¡¯m giving you a response. It¡¯s better than turning a blind eye to all the things you¡¯ve done in the past.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss slowly moved from the back of her neck to her cheek. Zuo Yue¡¯s face was burning hot, but her heart was in a mess. She did not know if she should push him away or what to do. Just as she lowered her head and was deep in thought, before she could get used to this change, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in her ear again,¡±¡±Does it still hurt?¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment, then suddenly bent her arm and slammed it fiercely against his chest.¡±¡±Pain your head!¡± Xu Chengfeng did not expect this girl to be so ruthless. He immediately took a step back. When she turned around, he clutched his chest in pain, as if he had suffered some internal injury. No matter what kind of Xu Chengfeng Zuo Yue was facing, she felt awkward. She had nowhere to vent her anger from before. She did not look at his expression and walked straight into the bedroom. She turned around and quickly closed the door. Xu Chengfeng effortlessly raised his hand and placed it on the door, stopping her from closing it. Zuo Yue glanced at him and said calmly,¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng, don¡¯t think that you can distract me by deliberately attacking me in such a way. You should know very well that the problem between us is not just a matter of blood relations. In the past, I never cared about any ethics or blood relations. Although I can feel relieved now, it doesn¡¯t mean that I can forgive you and my mother for hiding things from me.¡± She was about to close the door when Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly.¡±¡±That was only a temporary measure, Zuo Yue.¡± ¡°Whether it was a temporary measure or forced by my mother, it has nothing to do with me! In the past three years, I¡¯ve almost erased the name of Xu Chengfeng from my heart. So what if you¡¯re not my biological uncle? There are so many men in the world who are not related to me by blood, so I can love them just like that?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s brows instantly turned cold.¡±What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°You know what I want to say, Xu Chengfeng. Hating and forgetting someone has become a habit. I have long forgotten how to love you. You are no different from the men who often appear around me. You used to be my uncle, but now you are not even an uncle. You are just a man who has nothing to do with me.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s tone suddenly paused, and her eyes turned colder.¡±¡±No, it¡¯s a man who spent an afternoon with me¡­¡± Seeing the obvious ice in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes, Zuo Yue chuckled.¡±¡±You¡¯re just an obsession of mine when I was young. Don¡¯t take yourself too seriously, Xu Chengfeng.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she closed the door with force, blocking their gazes. Xu Chengfeng no longer placed his hand on the door to stop her. The bedroom was pitch black, and Zuo Yue leaned against the door. Even though she had taken a shower, she felt as if her entire body was still occupied by that man¡¯s warmth. It was extremely quiet outside the door. Xu Chengfeng was still the man who would never be impulsive. She stood by the door for a while, then lifted her arms to hug herself gently. She walked to the bed and fell onto the bed as if she was exhausted. The curtains in the room were closed. She sat on the bed and hugged herself with her arms around her chest. She slowly raised her gaze and looked in the direction of the door. Why did she put all her feelings and persistence back three years ago? After sitting quietly by the bed for a long time, she suddenly turned around and squatted beside the cabinet. She opened the bottom drawer of the cabinet and took out a small box. Opening the box, the seven colorful little dolls in the crystal decorative box entered her eyes again. In the past three years, she had thrown these colorful little dolls into the trash can countless times, and she had run back to the trash can to rummage through it countless times. After that, it was simply sealed in the corner of the drawer at the bottom. She thought that she had let it go long ago. However, it was as if everything was just a doll that she had deliberately hidden in the corner. When she dug it out again, it was heart-wrenching and filled with an unknown bitterness. She thought back to three years ago, half a month after Xu Chengfeng left. At that time, Zuo Yue had already returned to Boston to study. She had entered a new school and was adapting to the new environment. Xu Yuan found time to accompany her and even took her to the mall to buy things after school. When Xu Yuan mentioned Xu Chengfeng¡¯s matter again, Zuo Yue said,¡±¡±Mom, I¡¯m not a child. Don¡¯t always treat me like one. I¡¯m a human being, a living person. My relationship is not child¡¯s play. No matter if this relationship is too abnormal in your eyes, it should at least have a beginning and an end. However, Xu Chengfeng and I have never really started, and the final ending is in such a cruel way. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m unwilling now. It¡¯s just that there¡¯s an empty piece in my heart. You don¡¯t have to worry about me. If I can¡¯t live without that person, I might not have been able to live long ago.¡± ¡± He has always held on to his rationality. When he wants to ignore me, he ignores my feelings. When he wants to ignore me, he can use reality to ruthlessly slap my face. When he wants to leave, he can use such a cruel method to leave. I will be heartbroken because of his departure, and because of his heartlessness, I will never forgive him.¡± ¡°He thought that his tolerance and protection of me was the best way to treat me. He treated me in the way he thought was right, but Mom, I was the one who was always hurt. I have no complaints at the moment, but I also hope that he will never come back and never appear in front of me again.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see him again, never.¡± Those were the words she had once said. The remaining self-esteem she had was also the conviction she had buried deep in her heart to support herself through the past three years. Even though she had tried to keep some of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s properties in Los Angeles, she had only wanted to keep them. She had never expected him to come back. Those traces of him were constantly reminding her that the man had defeated her self-esteem with his rationality and indifference. He reminded her that she no longer needed to turn back or wait. Zuo Yue gradually got used to the darkness in the bedroom. She looked at the colorful dolls and put them back into the box. She put them back into the deepest part of the drawer as if they had never been found before. There was no movement outside the bedroom door. She did not know if Xu Chengfeng was still standing in front of the door. Zuo Yue turned over and lay on her side on the bed, not wanting to care about him. Chapter 1142 - Chapter 1142: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (227) Chapter 1142: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (227) The next day. ¡°Why are you so absent-minded? Was he really that sick yesterday? He didn¡¯t even have the strength to call the company and ask for sick leave?¡± When the colleagues in the office saw Zuo Yue sitting in front of the computer in a daze, they suddenly knocked her head lightly with the document in their hands and said with concern,¡±¡±If you¡¯re not feeling well, you can go and rest. If there¡¯s any other work, we¡¯ll help you with it. Anyway, you¡¯re an intern, so there¡¯s nothing particularly tedious to do.¡± Zuo Yue snapped back to reality.¡± It¡¯s nothing. The manager didn¡¯t say anything about me not coming to work yesterday, right?¡±¡± ¡°The manager saw that you came to make up for your sick leave in the morning. Seeing that your performance in the past few days was fine, the manager didn¡¯t pursue your absenteeism yesterday and helped you make up for your sick leave. Don¡¯t worry, your internship points won¡¯t be deducted.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Thank you.¡± Zuo Yue thanked the enthusiastic colleagues behind her gratefully. Then, she turned her eyes back to the English data file on the computer screen. However, as soon as she calmed down, her mind was in a mess again. She had fallen asleep after returning to her room last night. In the morning, she was woken up by her phone¡¯s alarm. When she woke up, she realized that Xu Chengfeng was no longer there. He didn¡¯t even leave a single word behind. She had not come to the company yesterday, so she could not care less. She packed up early and ran to the company. Fortunately, the manager did not pursue the matter. However, she knew that the people in the company were much friendlier to her than the other interns because they knew that she seemed to have some relationship with the big BOSS of the GN Corporation, Xu Chengfeng. Therefore, no one would offend her over a small matter. She said that she didn¡¯t need him to help her and didn¡¯t want him to affect her work in King Corporation. But in the end, she still gave Xu Chengfeng face. Otherwise, the fact that she had skipped work for no reason yesterday would have been enough to deduct a lot of her internship points. .. For a whole week, Xu Chengfeng did not appear again, nor did he receive any news. Although there was still more than a week before King¡¯s press conference at the end of the month, and she did not know if he would really go, she did not even see a trace of Ait recently. Zuo Yue went back to school to make up for her lessons on the weekends. After all, she had not officially graduated yet. Some of the classes that she had missed due to her internship needed to be made up for on the weekends. After an afternoon of classes, she originally wanted to go to the medical university to look for Julie and the others. However, because there was a male classmate she had a good relationship with who was celebrating his birthday, she went to the biggest nightclub in Boston with more than ten classmates and opened a big box to celebrate his birthday with him. The atmosphere in the private room had always been very high. Zuo Yue had not slept well for the past few days. At this moment, she did not have much energy. She sat at the corner of the sofa in the private room where there were few people, holding a small glass of whiskey and slowly drinking it. She didn¡¯t know where the wine at home had been thrown. She hadn¡¯t found it for the past few days, and she didn¡¯t have much time to drink recently. For the first time in three years, she seemed to have not touched alcohol for more than a week. Now, she slowly sipped the whiskey in her glass, and her mind instinctively kept thinking about the empty wine cabinet at home. That man was always so straightforward. In just one night, all the wine had been cleared away, and there was not even a trace of it. She suddenly realized that she was actually thinking about Xu Chengfeng. She suddenly finished the wine in her glass and put down the glass. Tonight¡¯s birthday girl suddenly came out from the crowd and ran straight to Zuo Yue¡¯s side to sit down. Zuo Yue glanced at him,¡±Why did you suddenly come here to sit?¡±¡± ¡°It¡¯s too noisy. I came to your side to quiet down for a while.¡±The birthday boy smiled as he said,¡±¡±Are you free tomorrow night? If you have nothing to do, come with me to a place tomorrow night.¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him and smiled.¡±¡±You haven¡¯t given up yet?¡± The birthday boy smiled calmly.¡± I¡¯ve been wooing you for three years, but I¡¯ve never seen you nod. Although you¡¯ve always regarded me as a friend, it¡¯s my birthday today. I don¡¯t need you to give me any gifts. At least accompany me to do something, right?¡± Zuo Yue chuckled. She thought about how this birthday boy had always been friendly to her and had indeed pursued her for three years. However, his personality was more easy-going and he never made her feel disgusted. On the contrary, every time he spoke, she felt very comfortable. Hence, she smiled and took the wine glass he handed her and said softly,¡±What do you want me to promise you? I¡¯ll do what I can do, and I¡¯ll reject what I can¡¯t do right now, lest I give you any hope that you shouldn¡¯t have.¡± ¡°Tsk, you¡¯re such a lively girl. Why are you so cold every time you face a relationship problem? People who don¡¯t know better might think that you¡¯ve been hurt emotionally.¡±As the birthday boy clinked glasses with her, he suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulder like a good friend. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear,¡±Accompany me to a banquet tomorrow night.¡± The classmates that Zuo Yue was familiar with and the school that she was studying at were mostly people of high social status. The banquet that he mentioned should be a very orthodox banquet, and the identity of the people who could attend the banquet would definitely be too ordinary. Zuo Yue was not surprised. She slowly drank the slightly cold wine in her cup and said softly,¡±¡±The reason?¡± ¡± Sigh, I¡¯m only twenty-three years old, and I¡¯m already shouldering the responsibility of my family¡¯s rise and fall. My family wants me to marry a girl I¡¯ve never seen before. I¡¯ve seen a photo of that girl. She¡¯s too young. I think she¡¯ll only be twenty years old at the end of this year. Although she looks innocent and harmless, I¡¯m not interested in those cute girls. However, there¡¯s no reason for me to avoid them, so I want you to be my girlfriend tomorrow¡­¡± Zuo Yue gave him a cold glance.¡±¡±Be your girlfriend? Do you think this is a TV drama?¡± ¡°Just for one day, actually just for one night. Just be my female companion at the banquet. When others ask, I will say that you are my girlfriend. Just don¡¯t deny it. My parents didn¡¯t force me, but I don¡¯t even have a decent girlfriend. If they see you tomorrow, they will be very satisfied. After all, you have such a big background from the Zuo family.¡± ¡°Then what about the future?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about the future in the future. I¡¯m just bringing you to show your face at the banquet, not to get engaged. Neither of us will lose a piece of flesh. At most, I¡¯ll just say that we broke up in the future.¡± Zuo Yue laughed and raised her hand to push his hand away from her shoulder.¡±¡±Stop it. The banquets that your family can attend are definitely filled with all kinds of celebrities. What if I meet someone I know? This is too ridiculous. I¡¯m not going!¡± Chapter 1143 - Chapter 1143: Asking the Moon on the Wind (228) Chapter 1143: Asking the Moon on the Wind (228) ¡°Zuo Yue, I¡¯ve been chasing you for three years and I¡¯ve never said that I¡¯m sad for you. Today, I¡¯m taking advantage of my birthday to make such a request to you, and you have the nerve to reject me so straightforwardly!¡± ¡°.. Why would he be embarrassed? If I meet any relatives related to me at the banquet, wouldn¡¯t I be even more speechless?¡±Zuo Yue smiled and rolled her eyes at him.¡± Change your request. I don¡¯t want to go.¡±¡± The birthday boy looked at her with a face full of regret.¡±You¡¯re really cruel.¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. She just smiled and poured a glass of wine for him.¡±Then, happy birthday.¡± The birthday boy didn¡¯t take the message and just turned to look at the students who were still huddling together and said softly,¡±¡±Today is my birthday, but I ran to sit beside you, but no one came to drag me away. Do you know why?¡± Zuo Yue took a sip of wine and smiled.¡±¡±I know. These few years, your good brothers and my good sisters have all determined that I will definitely be with you. This is giving you a chance to hit on me.¡± When he heard Zuo Yue use the word ¡®bubble¡¯, the birthday boy¡¯s expression immediately turned a little ugly. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said calmly,¡±¡±I won¡¯t ask you for help tomorrow. In the end, I can¡¯t catch up to you. I can¡¯t even help you. After so many years of relationship, even if it¡¯s just a classmate¡¯s relationship, you don¡¯t even have the thought of helping. It¡¯s not like you¡¯re morally kidnapping me. You won¡¯t even agree to pretend to be my girlfriend for a night.¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I meant¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to explain. In the end, in your heart, the relationship between the two of us hasn¡¯t reached that level.¡±The birthday boy stood up and left. ¡°Hey, you¡­¡± Zuo Yue wanted to explain, but he could be seen walking back into the crowd. His figure was a little lonely, but he forced a smile and continued to celebrate with his classmates. To be honest, Zuo felt a little apologetic in his heart. Indeed, he had never made things difficult for her in the past few years. On the contrary, he had helped her a lot. He was such a gentleman and treated her well and gently. This was the first time he had made a request to her, and it was on the night of her birthday. If it was not because she was too concerned, this request was not too much. Zuo Yue lowered her head and pondered for a while. She took another sip of the wine, but for some reason, she felt that the wine was much more spicy. Just as she was wondering if she was being a little too disappointing by not giving him face, she suddenly felt a pat on her shoulder. Another female classmate who was on good terms with her came over and said,¡±You didn¡¯t agree to Bai Hao¡¯s request?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± ¡°Of course I know, but Zuo Yue, you¡¯re too heartless. Bai Hao has pursued you for so many years. Even if you don¡¯t agree to date him, you don¡¯t plan to be his girlfriend. But he has pursued you for three years, treated you well for three years, and protected you in every way for three years. Look at him now. It¡¯s clearly a good birthday, but he¡¯s forcing a smile. He¡¯s not in the mood to be rejected by you.¡± Zuo Yue held her wine glass and did not say anything at first. Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID on her phone and said,¡±I¡¯ll go out and take a call first.¡± She quickly got up and walked out with her phone. After walking to a quieter place outside, she looked at the caller ID on her phone and answered it. On the other end of the phone, Xu Chengfeng heard some noisy music behind her and asked directly,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t go home?¡± The person who had disappeared for a week suddenly called, and the first thing he said was to come and take care of her. ¡± It¡¯s really a friend¡¯s birthday this time,¡± Zuo Yue said reluctantly.¡± It¡¯s not too late yet. It¡¯s only ten o¡¯clock at night.¡±¡± ¡°A friend¡¯s birthday? Is it a man or a woman?¡± ¡°.. It¡¯s none of your business.¡± On the other side, Xu Chengfeng was silent for a moment. It was obvious that he was angered by her, but he did not continue to talk nonsense with her. He said directly,¡±Where are you? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± ¡°No need. The place where they and I are staying is very close to my apartment. I can walk home in a few minutes.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to see me that much?¡± ¡°Mr. Xu, I thought I made it very clear to you. If we¡¯re not related by blood, then we¡¯re not related by blood. However, that doesn¡¯t mean that I¡¯m someone you can get as you wish. Everyone has their own position.¡± On the other end of the line, Xu Chengfeng seemed to chuckle. It was because she was obviously still in a fit of pique, and also because she still had a faint trace of childishness. Zuo Yue was displeased by his low laughter. She frowned.¡±¡±I¡¯m not talking to you. I¡¯m going back to play with them.¡± ¡°Are you free tomorrow night?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s movements paused. She recalled what Bai Hao had mentioned to her just now, so she blurted out,¡±I don¡¯t have time. I have to accompany a friend to an event tomorrow night.¡± ¡°What can¡¯t I learn? Why do you have to learn to be indifferent from others?¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much, sir. My indifference to you is a rejection from the bottom of my heart.¡± After Zuo Yue finished speaking, she said indifferently,¡±I¡¯m very busy. Goodbye.¡± After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath and felt that she was unusually comfortable from head to toe. It was as if she could see Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face that was as black as charcoal when he was angry at her. He deserved it! Zuo Yue put away her phone and turned around to walk out of the private room. When she pushed open the door and walked in, she saw Bai Hao and the others drinking and chatting with a smile on their faces. However, because Zuo Yue suddenly walked in that direction, the smile on Bai Hao¡¯s face gradually disappeared. He only looked away and no longer looked at her. At the same time, he took a sip of wine and pretended not to care. Zuo Yue walked over and patted his back. This was the first time that Zuo Yue had taken the initiative to look for him. The surrounding students immediately started to jeer, squeezing the two of them into a ball. Bai Hao also looked back at her in surprise, his eyes somewhat puzzled.¡±What are you doing?¡± Zuo Yue felt that there was nothing to be reserved about because of the phone call just now. She did not have a boyfriend anyway. It would not matter even if she acted as someone else¡¯s girlfriend. Besides, if she really did not find something to do tomorrow night, she might really keep wondering what Xu Chengfeng wanted to do with her tomorrow. ¡°I will go tomorrow.¡± Zuo Yue said in a voice that only Hao Bai could hear,¡±¡±I don¡¯t know the exact time and place. Pick me up from King Corporation tomorrow. I¡¯ll go with you after work.¡± Bai Hao immediately looked at her with an incredulous expression.¡±Really?¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him, raised her hand and hooked her finger at him. When he leaned his head over, she whispered into his ear,¡±¡± Just one day, cherish it!¡± Chapter 1144 - Chapter 1144: Asking the Moon on the Wind (229) Chapter 1144: Asking the Moon on the Wind (229) The next day. After Zuo Yue got off work, she got into the car and rushed to the charity dinner in Boston tonight. When they got into the car, they learned from Bai Hao that tonight was a charity party organized by a very famous entertainment group in Boston. Many famous Hollywood superstars and the heads of many famous families were invited, including many business giants worth tens of billions. This banquet was unexpectedly grand. Zuo Yue had no choice but to go to a nearby clothing store to choose a dress before rushing to the banquet venue with Bai Hao. ¡°Fortunately, your body proportions are perfect. It¡¯s so easy to find a fitting gown.¡±When Bai Hao parked the car outside the banquet hall, he turned to look at Zuo Yue, who was dressed up in a fancy outfit. His eyes were filled with incomparable satisfaction and admiration. Zuo Yue smiled and glanced at him.¡± I¡¯m giving you face. That¡¯s why I specially went to pick a dress. I usually hate attending such banquets and wearing such clothes. It¡¯s too uncomfortable.¡±¡± ¡°Then it seems that I have to thank the beautiful Miss Zuo for giving me such a big face.¡±As Bai Hao spoke, he reached out his hand and gently held her hand, making a gesture to plant a kiss on the back of her hand. Even though this was considered a simple and gentlemanly act in foreign countries, Zuo Yue still cleverly pulled her hand out of his and said softly,¡±¡±Stop fooling around. Get out of the car. Go early and come back early. If I really meet your parents later, I still have to think of a countermeasure so that I won¡¯t be looked down upon by everyone.¡± ¡°How can a daughter of the Zuo family be looked down upon? If my family knew that my current girlfriend is from the Zuo family, they would be overjoyed.¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment before she suddenly said,¡±The manager of King Corporation shouldn¡¯t be coming tonight, right?¡± I hid my identity in our company.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Although King Corporation has already risen to the stage of an international enterprise, its status has not yet reached the qualifications to be invited to such a banquet. The reason why I asked you to accompany me here tonight is because you, Zuo Yue, were born into this kind of celebrity class. Your appearance can suppress those sparrows that have flown up to the branches. You are the queen tonight.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She could not help but raise her hand to rub the goosebumps on her arm after hearing the sweetness of this kid¡¯s mouth. After getting out of the car, Zuo Yue saw the red carpet outside the venue. She was about to turn around and say that Bai Hao was too scheming because she saw many prominent families in the American business world walking on the red carpet. If she admitted that she was Bai Hao¡¯s girlfriend in such a place, it was basically equivalent to announcing it to the world. It might be more serious than an engagement. She felt that she might have stage fright. Bai Hao saw Zuo Yue turn around and glance at him. He rubbed his nose and walked over, directly holding her hand.¡±Don¡¯t think too much. It¡¯s normal for lovers to break up and get back together. At most, I¡¯ll just say that I was dumped by you in the future.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t I realize that you were so scheming before?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no choice. We¡¯re about to graduate, but we haven¡¯t managed to woo you yet. I can only be a little despicable. But what I said isn¡¯t wrong. If we still can¡¯t succeed in the future, at most, people will think that we broke up.¡±Bai Hao said as he took the opportunity to pinch her small hand.¡±This little hand is really soft ~¡± ¡°Damn pervert.¡± Zuo Yue stared at his young and handsome face with disgust. Just as she was about to pull her hand out, she suddenly saw someone from the corner of her eye and immediately turned her eyes away. Ait? She actually saw Ait! Why is he here? Could it be that Xu Chengfeng was also coming tonight? Zuo Yue saw Ainte¡¯s figure near the parking lot not far away. He seemed to be talking to the two bodyguards in black beside him in a low voice. His back looked handsome and cold. The two bodyguards in black also had serious expressions. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Bai Hao held her hand, and this was the first time in three years that he could hold her hand so naturally. He pinched her small, fair hand and played with it nonstop in his hand, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world. Zuo Yue came back to her senses and turned her face away abruptly to avoid being discovered by Ainte. At the same time, she raised her hand and held Bai Hao¡¯s arm as she walked inside quickly and said,¡± Have you heard of the KP Group?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯ve heard of the most famous financial group in Russia. Not only does the KP Group have an extraordinary status in Russia, but even in the United States, its status can¡¯t be underestimated.¡±Bai Hao said as he looked at her suddenly uncomfortable expression.¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°The people from the KP Group were invited today?¡±Zuo Yue was afraid of being recognized by the people over there, so she could only hold Bai Hao¡¯s hand and speak softly. Bai Hao was in a good mood because of her hand holding action. He took the opportunity to hug her waist with one hand and held her hand with the other, saying gently and softly,¡±I don¡¯t know, but it should be within the scope of the invitation. However, I don¡¯t know if the person in charge of the HR Group has time to attend the banquet.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned green. If she met Xu Chengfeng here, she felt that she would really lose her life. Forget about throwing a tantrum, but if Xu Chengfeng found out about it¡­ Zuo Yue turned her head and secretly glanced behind her again. Then, she came back to her senses and turned her face to look at Bai Hao.¡±Is it too late for me to regret now? I¡¯m not going in. Why don¡¯t I call another female companion to accompany you¡­¡± As she spoke, she struggled out of his embrace and pretended to make a call. Bai Hao, however, calmly took the phone from her hand and put it in his pocket. ¡°You¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked up and glared at him. ¡°No.¡± Bai Hao said straightforwardly. At the same time, he held her hand.¡±Let¡¯s go in.¡± ¡°Please do me a favor. I really realized that I might meet an acquaintance here tonight.¡±Zuo Yue said awkwardly,¡±If I meet an elder who is familiar with me, then I¡­¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re my girlfriend in name, and you¡¯re still embarrassing yourself? Our Bai family is a famous technology giant in Boston. We won¡¯t let Miss Zuo¡¯s face be covered in dust. Since you¡¯re already here, don¡¯t even think about leaving. Accompany me until the end.¡± As Bai Hao spoke, he directly hugged her face and dragged Zuo Yue into the banquet hall. When she walked into the venue, there were too many security guards and emcees on both sides. Zuo Yue could not do anything, so she could only laugh dryly and greet the people on both sides. At the same time, she turned and quietly glared at Bai Hao, who had his hands around her waist, and whispered,¡±Take your hand away. Don¡¯t take advantage of me!¡± ¡°She¡¯s my girlfriend. How can I not be intimate with her?¡±Bai Hao had a matter-of-fact expression. Zuo Yue secretly gritted her teeth. She regretted agreeing so readily last night. It was too late for regrets now. Just as the two of them walked in, the emcee¡¯s enthusiastic voice suddenly sounded from behind them.¡±Mr. Xu, you¡¯re here! Welcome! Welcome-¡° Chapter 1145 - Chapter 1145: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (230) Chapter 1145: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (230) The moment the voice came from behind, Zuo Yue¡¯s footsteps stopped, and the blood in her body was about to freeze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Bai Hao saw that her face had suddenly lost all color and thought that she was feeling unwell. He quickly raised his hand and stroked her forehead.¡±Did you catch a cold? Or is there something wrong? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?¡± The voice just now was not far behind them. Zuo Yue raised her hand and pulled Bai Hao. Under his inexplicable and worried expression, she pulled him into the side hall that led to the bathroom. After entering the side hall, Zuo Yue leaned against the wall and secretly peeked out with half of her face exposed. She saw the familiar figure walk in from the front door. Ainte and the two bodyguards followed him at a fixed distance, observing the people and movements around them from time to time as usual. Sure enough, wherever there was an @, there would definitely be Xu Chengfeng. Zuo Yue raised her hand and secretly bit her finger. When Xu Chengfeng approached, she was so frightened that she quickly turned around and leaned against the wall to stabilize herself. Then, she reached out and pulled Bai Hao to her side to block herself. When Xu Chengfeng walked past them, Zuo Yue did not notice her own movements at all. She just leaned into Bai Hao¡¯s embrace, her pair of eyes peeking in that direction through the area below his neck. It was only when Xu Chengfeng walked inside that she let out a soft sigh of relief. However, she felt that she was about to lose all her strength. Bai Hao had been in a daze as he allowed her to play with him. Standing in front of her, he lowered his eyes to look at Zuo Yue who was taking the initiative to lean into his embrace for the first time. Even though he did not know what she was hiding from now, such an intimate action still made him smile a little. He slowly placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it gently twice as if to comfort her.¡±Alright, what are you hiding from? So careful? Could it be that he had really met a relative?¡± ¡°They¡¯re not just relatives, they¡¯re enemies.¡±Zuo Yue instinctively muttered. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she was leaning against Bai Hao¡¯s embrace and leaning on his shoulder, looking like a little bird that depended on someone. Moreover, this kid actually had his hand on her shoulder, and he was slowly going down to hug her. She suddenly took a step back and gently slapped his hand away.¡±¡±Go, don¡¯t touch it.¡± Bai Hao immediately had a disappointed look. He first rubbed his nose, then turned his head to look outside.¡±Who were you hiding from just now? What enemy?¡± ¡°No one.¡± Although Zuo Yue was uneasy, she had already come and entered the venue. It was indeed not good to leave like this. Even if it was a banquet like this, with so many people and such a large venue, she would just have to be careful and avoid them. Besides, someone of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s status would not casually appear in the venue. He would probably be resting in some lounge and occasionally meet people who came to see him personally. He would not casually come out and wander around the venue. Thinking about it, he was not the kind of person who liked to participate in such a lively event. Zuo Yue forced herself to calm down. When Bai Hao was still looking into the distance with a strange expression, she stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve.¡±Alright, stop looking. You don¡¯t know him anyway. Just keep a low profile later.¡± Bai Hao looked at her again and thought for a while. He did not say anything, but it was obvious that he did not want to take the high-profile route. Zuo Yue understood this. After all, she had a deep understanding of this Bai Hao who had pursued her for three years. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to his request so easily. When the two of them walked in hand in hand, it was already full of guests. Celebrities from the business and political circles and the entertainment industry were standing in groups of three to five, raising their glasses and chatting. Bai Hao brought Zuo Yue inside. As soon as they walked in, they suddenly met a middle-aged woman who looked very noble and a young girl. When the middle-aged woman and the young girl saw Bai Hao, they both smiled and came over to greet him. The girl¡¯s face also turned red, but when she approached, she saw Zuo Yue¡¯s hand holding Bai Hao¡¯s arm. The sweet smile on her face instantly disappeared, and the gaze she looked at Zuo Yue with was also filled with hostility in an instant. Very good. There was no need to ask. Just from the eyes of those two women, he could analyze that they should be a mother and daughter. Moreover, this sweet and cute girl in front of him should be Bai Hao¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Perhaps she could not be considered a fianc¨¦e, but to Zuo Yue, she felt that she had specially come today to destroy the marriage of an unmarried couple. No matter how much she thought about it, she felt guilty. However, this pair of female mothers ¡®gazes weren¡¯t very polite. Zuo Yue just stood by Bai Hao¡¯s side and smiled as she nodded at them. ¡°Mrs. Cui.¡± Bai Hao politely nodded his head to the middle-aged woman with a somewhat ugly expression. Then, he turned to look at the girl with hostility in her eyes.¡±Xiaoxiao.¡± ¡°Bai Hao, you¡­¡± The person called Mrs. Cui looked at him in surprise and then looked at Zuo Yue.¡±¡±Excuse me, may I ask this lady?¡± ¡°This is my classmate. Before coming to the banquet, I found out that she was also invited today. It just so happened that we were on the way, so we came together.¡±Bai Hao said with a smile. At the same time, he turned to look at the calm Zuo Yue.¡±Why don¡¯t you introduce yourself?¡± Zuo Yue smiled without batting an eyelid. She looked at the mother and daughter who were unhappy and said softly,¡±¡±Hello, I¡¯m Zuo Yue.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue? Your surname is Zuo?¡± Before the young lady could react, Mrs. Cui¡¯s face was filled with surprise.¡±Which Zuo? What¡¯s your relationship with the Zuo family in Los Angeles?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any special relationship with you, it¡¯s just that¡­¡± Zuo Yue paused for a while before she continued to ask,¡± Does Mrs. Cui know Zuo Hancheng?¡± Upon hearing Zuo Hancheng¡¯s name, Mrs. Cui¡¯s face stiffened.¡±¡±You?¡± ¡°I¡¯m his biological sister.¡± Saying that she was the granddaughter of the Zuo family seemed to be too boastful, so she decided to keep a low profile and borrow her low-key but well-known brother. After hearing Zuo Yue¡¯s words, Bai Hao looked at Mrs. Cui again. As expected, he saw all kinds of unpredictable expressions in Mrs. Cui¡¯s eyes. Then he looked at Zuo Yue again and saw her holding Bai Hao¡¯s hand intimately. Although he was a little angry, the Zuo family in Los Angeles was indeed not someone to be trifled with, especially in the Chinese business world. Cui Fu was afraid that his expression would be too stiff, so he found an excuse to pull his daughter away. The girl called Xiao Xiao was still glaring at Bai Hao with resentment.¡±Bai Hao, what do you mean? When I asked you to accompany me to the banquet, you said you didn¡¯t have time. Now you¡¯re here with a female classmate? What do you mean? Tell me clearly!¡± Chapter 1146 - Chapter 1146: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (231) Chapter 1146: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (231) Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Madam Cui pulled her daughter aside, but the little girl was obviously angry. Anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her. She was only here today as a temporary prop. She retreated from the area where they were arguing. She turned around and walked to the long table in the corner alone. She picked up a small bunch of crystal clear grapes and put them into her mouth. As she ate, she looked at the crowd in the venue. Today¡¯s banquet was really grand. Yesterday, Xu Chengfeng had asked her if she was free tonight. Could it be that he also planned to bring her here to attend the banquet? If he really found out that she was here, he would probably explode in anger. Zuo Yue thought as she leaned against the crystal pillar in the corner and chuckled. She then casually picked up a glass of champagne and took two sips. After work, she hadn¡¯t eaten anything. She was already hungry after rushing and changing her dress and hairstyle. While Bai Hao was pestered by Madam Cui¡¯s daughter, she walked along the long table alone. She picked up a small piece of strawberry cake and tasted it whenever she saw it. She also ate some delicious fruits and tasted the delicious wine when she saw it. There were also some other snacks and exquisite and simple delicacies that were suitable for display here. She tasted almost all of them without affecting the overall appearance. Just as he was eating in high spirits, someone suddenly approached him from behind. There were fewer people at the place where Zuo Yue was standing. After all, there were very few people at such a banquet who would ignore their image and eat and drink at the long table like her. Therefore, when she suddenly felt a sense of oppression coming from behind her, she instinctively felt a chill down her spine. She turned around abruptly and saw Ainte standing behind her, as if he had noticed her for a long time. Ainte saw that Zuo Yue had stuffed a lot of food into her mouth when she turned around. He didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or say anything. He just smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows at her. Zuo Yue almost choked. She suddenly turned to look around and then quickly looked around. She did not see Xu Chengfeng. When she came back to her senses and looked at him again, Ainte was still smiling. Zuo Yue swallowed the thing in her mouth with difficulty. She was almost full. She glared at Ait unhappily.¡±When did you find me? Why are you suddenly standing behind me?¡± ¡°Miss Zuo.¡± ¡°Boss wants you to go over.¡± Ainte smiled.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze, and the corner of her mouth twitched.¡±¡±He¡­ Does he know I¡¯m here? When did you find out?¡± Ainte didn¡¯t reply. He was still smiling at her, but it was obvious that he didn¡¯t intend to give her a chance to escape. He just smiled at her and casually raised his hand, making a gesture of invitation. Zuo Yue secretly ground her teeth. She knew that nothing good would come out of her promise to Bai Hao to attend this banquet. In the end, she had not even completed Bai Hao¡¯s matter and was actually discovered so early? When Xu Chengfeng walked past the door, he clearly did not look in her direction. It was obvious that he could not have noticed her. But what was this? Zuo Yue unwillingly pointed in Bai Hao¡¯s direction.¡±It might not be convenient for me to meet your BOSS. I¡¯m here with my friends. I have to greet them later and meet a few people.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, I think it¡¯s better if you don¡¯t challenge Boss ¡®tolerance. After all, things are different now.¡±¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t it different from before? My relationship with him hasn¡¯t changed much, has it? It¡¯s just a small matter between men and women. Tell him that I¡¯m open-minded and don¡¯t need him to take responsibility. I still have things to do, so I won¡¯t see him.¡±Zuo Yue said as she turned to leave. Ainte casually moved in front of her and blocked her way. This man was tall and strong, and he was like an iron wall in front of her. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with resentment.¡±I said I¡¯m not going to see him. Don¡¯t you understand? ¡± Ait, there are so many people here. I don¡¯t want to cause trouble or attract too much attention. Please don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡±¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, please don¡¯t make things difficult for me. If I can¡¯t bring Miss Zuo over, I think Boss might be unhappy.¡± ¡°What does his happiness have to do with me?¡±Zuo Yue turned her face to look in Bai Hao¡¯s direction. It just so happened that Bai Hao was finally free from the Cui mother and daughter¡¯s side. He turned around and saw her, and at the same time, he saw the pleading look in her eyes. He immediately walked quickly in this direction. Bai Hao walked around from behind Ainte and stepped forward in a protective manner. He raised his hand and put it around Zuo Yue¡¯s shoulder to pull her into his arms. Then, he looked at the expressionless man in front of him.¡±Sir, do you know my girlfriend?¡± Zuo Yue did not refute Bai Hao¡¯s words. She only looked at Ainte with the same indifferent gaze.¡±Mr. Ayt, we¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Ainte only gave Bai Hao a lukewarm glance and did not say anything. Zuo Yue took advantage of the fact that Ainte really did not want to cause trouble here to quietly squeeze Bai Hao¡¯s hand, signaling him to quickly pull her away. After the two of them walked out of the range of the Ait, Bai Hao saw Zuo Yue¡¯s troubled expression and could not help but ask worriedly,¡±What¡¯s wrong? What happened? Why are you in such a strange state tonight?¡± Zuo Yue gently shook her head.¡± It¡¯s nothing. I just met an acquaintance and told me some things. It¡¯s nothing much.¡±¡± Zuo Yue gave an ambiguous explanation and walked as far away as possible from her previous position. Then, she looked in the direction of the washroom.¡±I was just eating and drinking. My stomach doesn¡¯t feel well now. I¡¯ll go to the bathroom first.¡± Bai Hao released the hand on her shoulder.¡±Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± Zuo Yue turned around and quickly walked towards the washroom. After washing her hands and tidying her clothes, she was in a daze for a while. She didn¡¯t want to go out at first because she really didn¡¯t want to see Ainte again. However, she suddenly received a message from Bai Hao on her phone saying that his parents had arrived. She had no choice but to pack up and quickly walk out. Just as she walked out of the washroom, Bai Hao excitedly came over and hugged her. He brought her to the front, and when they arrived in front of a middle-aged man and woman, he introduced them in a clear voice under the surprised gazes of those two people,¡±Dad, Mom, this is Zuo Yue, the girl I mentioned to you a while ago. She¡¯s my girlfriend now.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a child of the Zuo family in Los Angeles?¡± The Bai family¡¯s parents looked at her in shock.¡± Zuo Yue nodded. At the same time, Bai Hao raised his hand and hugged her even more intimately. He lowered his head and said in a pretentious and intimate manner by her ear,¡±Don¡¯t be so stiff. It¡¯s just for one night.¡±Then he raised his voice again.¡± Don¡¯t be nervous, my dear. My parents won¡¯t eat you.¡± Zuo Yue forced a smile. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of her. Zuo Yue¡¯s line of sight turned s Chapter 1147 - Chapter 1147: Asking the Moon on the Wind (232) Chapter 1147: Asking the Moon on the Wind (232) Zuo Yue felt a lump in her throat when she met Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze. She had the urge to run away immediately. But at this moment, her waist was being hugged by Bai Hao, and that brat had yet to notice the person walking over from the other side. He only smiled and introduced her to the Bai family¡¯s parents.¡±Dad, Mom, Zuo Yue and I have been together for a long time. Not long ago, I didn¡¯t agree to the deal you made with Auntie Cui because I didn¡¯t want to let Zuo Yue down.¡± The Bai family¡¯s parents were very surprised. They did not expect their son to be able to woo the daughter of the Zuo family in Los Angeles. They did not expect Zuo Yue to be so comfortable. She did not have the arrogance and temper of a young lady. Although she smiled awkwardly, they could only assume that she was nervous because she met her elders. The Bai family¡¯s parents looked at each other and did not say anything. They did not mention whether they should end the matter with the Cui family just like that. They just looked at Zuo Yue with a smile.¡±I didn¡¯t expect to see Miss Zuo here, and I didn¡¯t expect our good-for-nothing son to catch your eye.¡± Zuo Yue shifted her gaze from Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction and smiled at the Bai family¡¯s parents.¡±¡±Hello, uncle and auntie. It¡¯s my first time meeting the two of you, so I might be a little nervous. If I¡¯m not polite in any way, I hope uncle and auntie can forgive me.¡± ¡°What manners? Miss Zuo¡¯s call of uncle and auntie is enough to make the two of us happy.¡±Bai Hao¡¯s mother was in a good mood as she sized up Zuo Yue¡¯s clothes. She could tell that this Miss Zuo in front of her should be the real one, and not some random girl that their son got to deceive them. After all, only a girl from a good family would not look out of place at such a banquet. Even if the dress she was wearing looked very simple, one could still see the naturalness and steadiness in her aura. ¡°Miss Zuo and our Bai Hao¡­¡± Father Bai also seemed to be in a good mood, but because he noticed the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the Cui family¡¯s mother and daughter, Father Bai restrained his emotions and said calmly,¡±¡±Are you guys serious?¡± Zuo Yue could not answer this question because Xu Chengfeng had already walked out from the crowd and walked in this direction as if there was no one else around. Her back stiffened as she allowed Bai Hao to hug her like this. Bai Hao said with a face full of certainty,¡± Of course I¡¯m serious. You¡¯re my biological son. I¡¯ve been chasing her for three whole years. It¡¯s not easy to get her. Do you think I¡¯m not serious?¡±¡± ¡°This child, what nonsense are you saying?¡±Mother Bai scolded him with a smile. But Bai Hao also smiled and raised his eyebrows. He turned his head to look at Zuo Yue, whose expression seemed somewhat unnatural for some unknown reason.¡±I¡¯m telling the truth. Two years ago, I didn¡¯t go home during a holiday because I wanted to be closer to her. So, I worked in a dessert shop for the entire holiday.¡± Speaking of this, the Bai family¡¯s parents did have some impression of it. Their son had indeed been very strange for a year. He did not come home during the holidays to enjoy the blessings of his eldest young master. Instead, he was said to have gone to work as a waiter in a dessert shop near the school. He worked hard and did not earn much money, but he enjoyed himself every day and said that he wanted to experience all walks of life. He didn¡¯t expect it to be related to the young lady of the Zuo family. Zuo Yue was even more speechless now. At that time, she didn¡¯t want to go back to Los Angeles during the holidays. She didn¡¯t want to go back to the Zuo family. She was bored, so she found a job in a dessert shop with Julie and Vera. In fact, she just wanted to find something to do. In the end, Bai Hao also went. In the end, he did not expect this to be the reason. The Bai family¡¯s parents were currently mocking Bai Hao¡¯s actions, saying that he would actually use such a method in order to pursue a young lady. Zuo Yue could only laugh awkwardly along, but her heart was trembling. Because Xu Chengfeng was already approaching. Why couldn¡¯t this banquet hall be bigger? It would be great if there was a glass wall in the middle! This way, he wouldn¡¯t be able to walk over! However, the moment Xu Chengfeng approached, the Bai family¡¯s parents ¡®eyes turned in that direction. Their eyes immediately lit up as they nodded politely at Xu Chengfeng and took the initiative to greet him. This is the system command. Boss Xu from the KP Group?¡± Ainte was standing behind Xu Chengfeng. He took out an assistant¡¯s name card and handed it to Father Bai. Father Bai glanced at the name card and was even more certain of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s identity. He immediately smiled and said,¡±¡±Mr. Xu, nice to meet you, but your name has long been hanging high in the business world of Boston. Nice to meet you! I wonder if I¡¯ll have the opportunity to work with your company in the future!¡± Father Bai reached out his hand, but Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not see it. His gaze seemed to be polite and calm as it swept past the Bai family¡¯s parents. Then, he turned to look at Zuo Yue. His gaze was very direct as he looked at her. Zuo Yue immediately felt goosebumps all over her body. She turned to look at him, then at Ainte who was looking down at her, cursing the two of them in her heart. Was he here to ruin her place? Bai Hao also noticed where Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze was. He immediately turned his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue with a strange expression. Then, he turned to look at Xu Chengfeng. When he saw the seemingly serious and cold gaze in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes, he immediately took a step forward in a protective manner and stood in front of Zuo Yue. At the same time, he said,¡±My girlfriend has offended Mr. Xu? Or?¡± The Bai family¡¯s parents also noticed this and immediately looked at them strangely. However, they did not know how to ask because Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Now that Bai Hao had asked, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze also fell onto Bai Hao indifferently. The man¡¯s gaze was calm and piercingly cold, but it made it impossible for people to understand the hidden emotions and danger within. Bai Hao thought that Zuo Yue really had some unpleasant place between them, and even held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand behind him. He turned around and said to Zuo Yue as if to comfort her,¡±Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here.¡± Originally, he couldn¡¯t be sure what exactly happened to Zuo Yue. Now that he felt the cold sweat on her palm, he was even more certain that Zuo Yue¡¯s abnormality tonight should have something to do with this Mr. Xu. ¡°Come here.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression seemed calm as he spoke. His voice was clear and strong, and it could not be ignored. Zuo Yue paused and did not move immediately, but her hand tried to struggle free from Bai Hao¡¯s hand. Bai Hao suddenly felt strange and turned to look at her.¡±Zuo Yue?¡± Chapter 1148 - Chapter 1148: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (233) Chapter 1148: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (233) Zuo Yue smiled and did not say anything, but she still managed to free her hand from his grasp. The atmosphere was too uncomfortable for her. She did not look at Xu Chengfeng and only turned to look at Bai Jiazheng¡¯s parents, who had a questioning look in their eyes. She nodded apologetically and was about to turn around and leave. Bai Hao felt strange and turned to ask her,¡±Zuo Yue, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Zuo Yue said softly. She just felt that the atmosphere was too strange and regretted her decision to agree to attend this banquet. She had never attended such a banquet with Xu Chengfeng before, nor had she confronted him in such an occasion. She was not used to it, and now she felt that it was difficult to breathe. She just wanted to get out quickly. Zuo Yue was about to turn around when Xu Chengfeng said,¡±Since you have a boyfriend, why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± The voice sounded extremely casual. However, this voice still made Zuo Yue stop in her tracks. The Bai family¡¯s parents looked at Zuo Yue in surprise, then looked at Xu Chengfeng.¡±Mr. Xu, you¡¯re¡­ Do you really know Miss Zuo?¡± Bai Hao¡¯s expression also suddenly turned a little ugly. He grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand, and when she was pulled back, his gaze stared at her and directly asked,¡±What happened? Why are you hiding? You know people from the KP Group? Do you know him?¡± Zuo Yue really did not know how to explain this matter. She only secretly ground her teeth and looked up at Xu Chengfeng with a lukewarm expression.¡±Indeed.¡± ¡°What did he mean when he asked you just now? What does it have to do with him whether you have a boyfriend or not?¡±Bai Hao usually looked to be considered a calm person, but now, it could clearly be seen that he was jealous. The parents of the Bai family knew that the daughter of the Zuo family was not easy to control. Moreover, there was someone like Xu Chengfeng present. Although they did not know the exact situation, they did not ask much. They only observed Zuo Yue¡¯s expression. ¡°He is¡­¡± Zuo Yue hesitated for a moment. ¡°You¡¯re usually so eloquent. What¡¯s wrong with you now? Didn¡¯t she just have a boyfriend and secretly ran over to see the other party¡¯s parents?¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice seemed to carry a hint of laughter, but his eyes were cold that only she could understand. ¡°This, Mr. Xu¡­You¡­¡± ¡°He is my uncle.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly hardened her heart and blurted out. Bai Hao was stunned for a moment, and so were the Bai family¡¯s parents. Only Aite¡¯s mouth twitched slightly, and Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze landed on her face. ¡°Uncle? No wonder they were relatives! I didn¡¯t expect Mr. Xu to be related to the Zuo family in Los Angeles. In that case, Ms. Zuo¡¯s mother, Ms. Xu from Zuo Corporation, is Mr. Xu¡¯s sister?¡±Father Bai finally understood and immediately felt that the atmosphere was much more natural. Xu Chengfeng did not answer, but he did not refute either. His gaze swept across Zuo Yue¡¯s face indifferently. He turned to Father Bai and smiled politely.¡±That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Then I really have to explain it to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, please don¡¯t misunderstand. We just found out about the relationship between my son and Miss Zuo. It¡¯s the first time these two children came to see us. They were actually very surprised to see us. Of course, the surprise was more than the surprise. I didn¡¯t expect Miss Zuo to be with our good-for-nothing son. We were afraid that Miss Zuo would be wronged. Now that we know that Miss Zuo is actually Mr. Xu¡¯s niece, Then it seems that we are fated to meet Mr. Xu¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly, but there was obviously no smile in his eyes. On the contrary, although he looked calm, the Bai family¡¯s parents felt an inexplicable sense of pressure. ¡°Since he¡¯s Zuo Yue¡¯s uncle, then I might have been negligent.¡±Bai Hao pulled Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and said,¡±I wasn¡¯t prepared to meet the elders of both sides at the same time. Although Mr. Xu isn¡¯t Zuo Yue¡¯s parents, Uncle is also close. Dear, and it seemed that Mr. Xu was very familiar with Zuo Yue. He was even very concerned about her getting a boyfriend. Why don¡¯t we find time to have a meal together in the next two days? I just don¡¯t know if Uncle Xu would do us the favor.¡± The word ¡®Uncle Xu¡¯ made Xu Chengfeng raise his eyebrows strangely. Zuo Yue¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She felt that if Bai Hao continued to speak, it was very likely that Ait would drag Bai Hao away in an instant, kick him into a helicopter, and throw him into Africa. ¡°Cough, although he is my uncle, he and I are actually not very¡­¡± Zuo Yue wanted to say that they were not very close, but Xu Chengfeng did not look at her at this moment. However, she hesitated for a moment and felt that she could not understand his temper now. If she said something that made him unhappy and he directly said that the two of them had been ¡°close¡± not long ago in front of so many people, then she could directly hide in the cracks in the ground in the future. ¡°Not very what?¡± Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her. There was a faint smile in his eyes. ¡°We don¡¯t meet often, so I¡¯m surprised to see you here today.¡±¡±Zuo Yue changed her tone at the right time. Then, she turned to the Bai family¡¯s parents and said,¡±Uncle, Auntie, I¡¯m sorry. I was a little uncomfortable just now because I suddenly saw someone familiar here.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay!¡± Zuo Yue did not pay attention to what Bai Hao and his parents were talking about. However, she was thinking about how to distract herself from the awkward situation and how to make Xu Chengfeng leave so that she would not feel so awkward again. Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng said,¡±Zuo Yue, follow me.¡± ¡± That voice was really like a serious elder talking to a junior in a cold voice. Zuo Yue snapped out of her daze and looked up. She saw that Xu Chengfeng had already turned around and left as if there was no one else around. She stood where she was. Her parents and Bai Hao looked at her again, probably guessing whether she would leave with Xu Chengfeng or not. Zuo Yue glanced at Ainte and the two bodyguards in black not far away. Although she was unhappy, she did not want to cause trouble here, nor did she want to implicate Bai Hao and the others. She could only nod apologetically to her parents and turn around to follow them obediently. ¡°Hey, Zuo Yue¡­¡± Bai Hao felt that the atmosphere between Zuo Yue and that Xu Chengfeng was not quite normal and wanted to go over and pull her back. However, just as he took a step forward, Ainte suddenly turned his body slightly and stood in front of him. Bai Hao looked at the hint of warning in Ainte¡¯s eyes. When he turned his head again, Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figures had already walked far away in the crowd. However, he felt that Zuo Yue was very unwilling just now and was really worried. When he looked over there again, Ait said,¡±Mr. Xu is usually very concerned about Miss Zuo, so you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Chapter 1149 - Chapter 1149: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (234) Chapter 1149: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (234) Zuo Yue followed closely behind Xu Chengfeng as she passed through the crowd in the banquet hall. She had thought that he was planning to bring her away directly. However, he did not walk out of the banquet hall. Instead, he walked to the side of the magnificent spiral staircase. Zuo Yue thought that he wanted her to follow him upstairs. This was a famous high-end hotel in Boston. Most of the floors above the second floor were hotel rooms. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and stood there motionlessly as she watched his back view. Noticing that the person behind him was no longer moving, Xu Chengfeng also stopped in his tracks. He did not urge her and merely looked back at her indifferently.¡±Why aren¡¯t you leaving? What are you afraid of?¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the stairs.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here, but I won¡¯t go up this building. If Mr. Xu thinks it¡¯s inappropriate for me to appear here, I can leave now.¡± Xu Chengfeng was still expressionless.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what you want to do either, but I don¡¯t plan to get too close to you.¡±Zuo Yue said softly,¡± I didn¡¯t say anything to my classmate and his parents just now. Everything was a misunderstanding. I¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding that you came to be someone else¡¯s girlfriend?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°I asked you if you had time today, and you said you had something to do. Is this what you want to do today?¡± Zuo Yue did not answer Xu Chengfeng¡¯s seemingly calm questions. Instead, she clasped her hands behind her back tightly. She had promised not to be upset about him in the future. She had promised to end it with a slap, two punches, and a cannon. She had promised that a good horse would not go back to its roots and would definitely not let him take advantage of her. She had promised not to let him affect her mood. However, the fingers behind her back were tightly twisted together, and her ten fingers were even white from the strength she used. On the surface, she looked depressed and forbearing. She took a deep breath and looked up at him.¡±It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m with Yin Ruisheng or Bai Hao, this is my life. I¡¯m only 22 years old and not yet 23 years old. I¡¯m still in my prime. I¡¯m already considered slow in changing boyfriends.¡± ¡°The speed of changing boyfriends?¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed to have heard something interesting. His cold eyes fell on her.¡±Are you saying that Bai brat is really your boyfriend? When did it start? Yesterday? Today? Or was it just a few sentences earlier?¡± Why was it that when she stood in front of him, it was as if she could be seen through so easily? Zuo Yue did not answer him. She just turned her face away, as if she did not want to talk too much with him. Seeing that she was still in a fit of pique, Xu Chengfeng did not force her to do anything. He only glanced at her again and said calmly,¡±¡±Come with me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going upstairs with you. Let¡¯s talk here.¡±Zuo Yue did not even look at him. Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks and looked back at her.¡±¡±When did I say I was going upstairs?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She looked at him again and saw that Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze had passed her face lightly. He turned around and walked into a wide corridor at the corner of the stairs. There seemed to be two more secluded resting rooms inside. He had gone in the direction of the resting room. Zuo Yue realized that she had been overthinking. She raised her hand and scratched her forehead. Although she was unwilling, she knew that she could not leave easily. In the end, she braced herself and followed him. After entering the resting room, before she had the chance to take a look at the large and luxurious sofas, tea houses, and elegant environment, Xu Chengfeng turned around and closed the door behind her. Zuo Yue immediately felt goosebumps all over her body. She looked at the man who was looking down at her after closing the door. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Zuo Yue took a step back while Xu Chengfeng took a step forward. Zuo Yue looked at her surroundings. This was an absolutely secluded place. Although it was very large, Xu Chengfeng was the only one resting here. No one would disturb him here. The only window was facing the night outside. There were no other windows or glass that could let people outside look in. The man¡¯s deep breath carried a hint of danger. Zuo Yue lowered her head to avoid his face that was gradually approaching her. She frowned because his breath was surrounding her. This familiar feeling made her suffer. She said angrily,¡±Xu Chengfeng, what do you want?¡± ¡°Tell me, what can I do to you here?¡±Xu Chengfeng just looked down at her, clearly not feeling the least bit wretched, but his breath pressed against her cheek, making her unable to avoid it. Left month because in his eyes a few points smile color, dark heavy gentle feel head hair account, long eyelashes tremble a few times, but the bottom of my heart suddenly said no out of the sour. ¡°I can explain the matter of me coming here and the matter with Bai Hao earlier. However, I did not act recklessly. Therefore, you do not need to discipline me¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t discipline you.¡± Xu Chengfeng had been carefully lowering his body because of her. He leaned down and his warm fingertips landed on her fair and smooth face. His voice sounded gentle and indulgent. What was he doing? This, this, this, this¡­Was this a soft approach? Was this a sudden tenderness attack?! ¡°Then why did you act as if you didn¡¯t notice me when you saw me coming? Did you want to see me show off my acting skills in your line of sight?¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Xu Chengfeng chuckled and did not explain. He only raised his hand and gently stroked her head.¡±I¡¯m waiting for you to come and see me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s so rare. I didn¡¯t expect you to wait for me after you returned to America. You even waited for me to attend a banquet.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s expression looked calm and unperturbed, but her voice was extremely dry.¡±¡±Since when did I start to exist in your eyes? How could he discover me so easily? No matter how hard I tried to make my presence known in front of you, you could completely ignore me.¡± ¡°How long do you want to be angry?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand landed on her shoulder. His gentle strength seemed to comfort her, but it also seemed to give her the strength to regain her courage.¡±Hmm?¡± Zuo Yue felt that when she faced such a patient Xu Chengfeng, she really could not even lose her temper. Perhaps she had lost to him three years ago, and now she was also completely defeated. However, she was unwilling. All the pain she had suffered for so many years, how could she let go of the heart-wrenching pain and suffering? Chapter 1150 - Chapter 1150: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (235) Chapter 1150: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (235) However, she could not lose her temper, nor did she dare to meet the patience and gentleness in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes. She could only lean back against the door weakly, allowing him to press down on her and confine her between her body and the door. She turned her head to avoid his gaze, and her voice was filled with unwillingness and unwillingness.¡±I¡¯m not acting out of spite. I just don¡¯t want to repeat the same mistake again.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her gently.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, I can tolerate all your temper and resentment now, but you can¡¯t just ignore your own reputation so casually. The Zuo family in Los Angeles is not an ordinary family. You know that if you openly admit that you are that kid¡¯s girlfriend at such a banquet, he will leave a mark in your relationship history. Whether it¡¯s true or not, he will leave a deep mark. You won¡¯t be able to explain it to anyone in the future.¡± ¡°I know, so what?¡±Zuo Yue looked up at him.¡± Even if I have a few more boyfriends after a few years, even if others find out that my love history is messy and I have one boyfriend after another, it would still sound much better than being slept with by my own uncle.¡±¡± As Xu Chengfeng frowned, she smiled and said,¡±¡±Yes, I¡¯m not your real uncle, but in the eyes of others, you¡¯re my uncle. What else can you give me other than the identity of an uncle, Xu Chengfeng?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment and asked calmly,¡±¡±What do you want?¡± His gaze remained calm, and his voice was flat, without much emotion. ¡°Do you know why I refuse to turn back?¡± Zuo Yue snorted.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m afraid.¡± Zuo Yue looked at her with a straight face. She raised her hand and gently pushed his hand away from her shoulder. She did not have the slightest intention of throwing a tantrum. When he did not force her to put down his hand, she laughed lightly.¡±Whether it was three years ago or three years later, you are still the same Xu Chengfeng. However, you always maintain your rationality and don¡¯t show your emotions. No matter what, I can¡¯t understand your true feelings.¡± ¡± Just like back then, I clearly thought that you loved me too. Just like back then, before you left, you could act as a loving couple with me for so many days. I thought that you loved me as much as I did, but in the end, I realized that everything was an illusion. I was too naive. In the end, all the reasons stemmed from one reason. It was because you didn¡¯t care enough. You didn¡¯t love me to the extent that you could disregard everything. Your rationality was my greatest enemy.¡± ¡°Including now. You said that you¡¯re not related to me by blood, so you came back to look for me. However, Xu Chengfeng, you only wanted to come back and find what you lost because you didn¡¯t have it completely back then. Is it just because you¡¯re possessive and want to find me back by your side, or is it really because of love? I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t understand you, but I can¡¯t feel anything.¡± ¡± I¡¯m afraid that once I get so deep that I can¡¯t leave, you¡¯ll leave again for some reason. You can leave as if you didn¡¯t leave anything behind. I don¡¯t want to suffer that anymore. That¡¯s a pain that I can¡¯t bear in my life. If there¡¯s a second time, I might really die.¡±Zuo Yue just looked at him, her eyes red, but she forced herself not to cry. ¡°Because I really loved you deeply, that¡¯s why I¡¯m so afraid. But you only treat it as me venting my anger.¡±Zuo Yue chuckled with reddened eyes.¡±Your identity can¡¯t change anything now. I think it¡¯s better to keep it like this. I won¡¯t go like a moth to a flame anymore, and you don¡¯t have to think that I¡¯m your concern anymore.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her but did not say anything. His eyes were fixed on her. Zuo Yue turned her eyes away. She did not want to look into his eyes. After all, she had never truly understood her for so long. She sniffed quietly and rubbed her eyes. Before her tears fell, she wiped away the warmth in her eyes.¡±I¡¯ll leave first. I didn¡¯t take the matter with the Bai family to heart, so you don¡¯t have to take it to heart either. That¡¯s my classmate, so I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for her.¡± ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng called out to her. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and opened the door as if she had not heard anything. However, there was a sudden burst of violent collisions and chaotic noises outside. There were even the frightened cries of children brought by some people at the banquet. Zuo Yue¡¯s movements paused, and the door that was only slightly opened was suddenly opened by Xu Chengfeng behind her. She took a step back passively. Xu Chengfeng immediately pulled her away from the door and took the lead to walk out of the door to take a look at the situation outside. He seemed to have noticed something and immediately turned around to look at Zuo Yue with a cold and serious expression.¡±He¡¯s inside, don¡¯t come out!¡± Zuo Yue was alerted that something must have happened outside. She was about to follow him out when Xu Chengfeng suddenly looked at her with an unusually serious and cold gaze.¡±Don¡¯t come out! Get in!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s footsteps stopped and she looked at him.¡±¡±What happened?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He glanced at her and then looked at the direction of the window in the lounge.¡±Go and close the curtains. Don¡¯t let the people outside find out that there¡¯s someone here. Lock the door. Do you remember?¡± ¡°What exactly happened? Why¡­¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, causing Zuo Yue¡¯s voice to be stuck in her throat. She looked at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s serious eyes in shock, and at the same time, she heard even more terrified screams from the banquet hall outside. ¡°Are they here for you?¡± Seeing that he was about to leave, Zuo Yue anxiously reached out and pulled him back. ¡°No, I¡¯m not that careless. Since I¡¯m willing to show myself in such a place, of course there¡¯s a reason why I won¡¯t be tracked down.¡±Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡± However, there are many people from all walks of life gathered at this banquet. There are many people who have offended the American underworld. I¡¯m not sure what will happen later, but you better go in and stay there. Don¡¯t come out.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng could hear the worry in her tone. He looked back at her, and his tone softened a little. It was no longer as cold and serious.¡±Be good and go in.¡± ¡°Since they are not here for you, I will go with you¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not wait for her to finish and pushed her back into the door. Zuo Yue staggered back into the door and quickly came over. Xu Chengfeng closed the door and said through the door,¡±¡±Listen to me, don¡¯t come out and run around. I¡¯ll tell you about what you said just now after we leave this place safely.¡± Zuo Yue wanted to open the door, but because of his words, she did not try to open it. She stood still in the door, but her eyes were red. Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (236) Chapter 1151: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (236) Through the door, Zuo Yue could hear the chaos, but she could not hear anything related to Xu Chengfeng because the sound insulation was very good. Since he said that what happened outside had nothing to do with him, then what was he doing? Zuo Yue paced back and forth inside the door worriedly. At the same time, she frowned when she heard a few gunshots and the terrified screams and cries coming from outside. Her hands gradually clenched into fists. Suddenly, it seemed like someone had run into the vicinity to avoid danger. The screams of women and children approached. Zuo Yue heard it and instinctively wanted to open the door. However, just as she placed her hand on the door handle, she recalled what Xu Chengfeng had said just now and retracted her hand. She couldn¡¯t go out and cause trouble for him. There must be a reason for him to let her hide here. She might not be able to help him even if she went out. She might even make him flustered. At this moment, he couldn¡¯t care less about what he had just said. What did he care about? As long as everyone was safe and there was no danger. The screams outside came in waves. Zuo Yue was anxious and uncomfortable. The gunshots were fired several times in the sky. She did not know if someone was injured. From the sound, she could guess that it must be very chaotic outside. ¡°Who offended these American gangsters? How did they lure them here? Aren¡¯t they trying to kill us all?¡± The people hiding in the corridor outside the resting room complained in a low voice as they hid inside. ¡°Those people look like they¡¯re here to seek revenge. I wonder if they¡¯re going to massacre this place. There seems to be a resting room inside. Let¡¯s see if the door can be opened. Let¡¯s go in and hide. At the same time, let¡¯s see if there¡¯s a window that we can jump out of¡­¡± There seemed to be a couple outside. When they were talking and pulling on the door, Zuo Yue looked at the door that she had locked and hesitated. Before she could do anything, she suddenly heard the crying of a child beside the couple. She paused for a moment and hurriedly went forward to open the door. The person outside rushed in instantly. When he saw Zuo Yue, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded at her affectionately and turned around to hurriedly close the door again. ¡°How is it outside? Is anyone injured?¡± Zuo Yue asked. A woman in her thirties was hugging a frightened child while coaxing him. She walked to the window and studied whether she could escape. Another man looked a little calmer at this moment. The man said,¡±Someone is injured. The few people in front of the door were shot. I don¡¯t know if their lives are in danger, but the ground is covered in blood.¡± Zuo Yue became even more nervous when she heard that.¡±¡±Then, outside now¡­¡± The woman holding the child in front of the window suddenly said,¡±Darling, come and see if this window can be opened. We have to escape quickly. I think I heard those people who fired just now say that they want to blow up this place. If something really explodes, our entire family might really die here. Come and take a look¡­¡± The man had no time to talk to Zuo Yue anymore. He turned around and ran to the window. The resting room was no longer quiet. There was the sound of the child crying non-stop. Zuo Yue did not feel anything. She just leaned against the door, feeling more and more uneasy. With the skills of Xu Chengfeng and his men, if it were just a few simple gangsters, they would probably be able to deal with them quickly. Not to mention Xu Chengfeng¡¯s skills, even Ait¡¯s skills seemed to be very good. However, it still sounded so chaotic outside. Could it be that they had encountered some troublesome underworld forces? Could it be that there were many people? Just as she thought of this, suddenly, there was a loud bang outside. Zuo Yue felt a violent tremor under her feet and took two steps back heavily against the corner of the wall. The couple and the child directly hid in the corner. As the child cried in fear, Zuo Yue looked up at the door. What had exploded just now? Where was Xu Chengfeng? He was outside. Was he alright? ¡°Miss, where are you going? It¡¯s very dangerous outside, and those people might really want to blow up this place. Hurry up and escape with us¡­¡± Before the couple could finish their words, Zuo Yue suddenly opened the door and ran out. As soon as she stepped out, she could smell the burning smell of sparks. In front of her, there were thick smoke and a chaotic and frightened crowd fleeing in all directions. Looking at the scene, the safety exits in front and behind had been sealed. No matter how hard these people tried to escape, they could not find the exit. Zuo Yue closed the door behind her to ensure the safety of the family of three. Then, she quickly walked towards the direction of the stairs. Her eyes searched around with some difficulty in the thick smoke and burning smell. From afar, she saw Bai Hao and his parents in the crowd. They looked relatively calm, but Bai Hao¡¯s mother was obviously quite frightened. Seeing that their family was not injured, Zuo Yue heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the blink of an eye, she saw those people dressed in black raising their guns in the direction of the crowd. At this moment, Zuo Yue finally saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure. He was alone in the crowd. A little girl who looked like she was only three years old seemed to have been separated from her family in hiding. She walked out of the crowd in a daze. Seeing that she was about to run into the guns of the men in black, Zuo Yue¡¯s heart instantly skipped a beat. Just as those killers were about to shoot at the little girl who was in the way, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure flashed out from the crowd and suddenly stepped forward to carry the little girl away. Zuo Yue saw it and quickly rushed over.¡±Be careful-¡± It seemed that a few people had recognized Xu Chengfeng. Initially, their target was not him. Suddenly, a few people raised their guns at the same time and aimed in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s direction. Zuo Yue¡¯s heart trembled as she watched,¡±Xu Chengfeng-¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly heard her voice. As he picked up the little girl, he turned to look in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction. Zuo Yue saw that his eyebrows were cold. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied when he realized that she had run out. His eyes were cold. In the group of people, someone suddenly said something in Russian. Xu Chengfeng looked back at the person indifferently. In an instant, several gunshots were heard from behind the group of people. The men in black who were standing in the main position in the smoke-filled hall were instantly shot and fell. While the people present were still confused about the situation, Zuo Yue turned her eyes and saw Ainte and the two Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bodyguards who had been hiding behind the men in black. They were already behind those people. They were like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Chapter 1152 - Chapter 1152: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (237) Chapter 1152: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (237) The moment she saw Ainte and the others appear, Zuo Yue instantly heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Xu Chengfeng had already made arrangements. No wonder he had been walking alone in the crowd just now. Now that he suddenly appeared, it was probably not just for the little girl. The opportunity to appear was very important. Otherwise, how could he so easily attract the attention of those people and cause the rear to fall? Obviously, her worries were superfluous. What kind of person was Xu Chengfeng? How could he put himself in a situation where he was threatened and controlled by others? He was such a calm person. No matter what he did, he had his reasons. Zuo Yue glanced at him again, intending to turn around and return to the resting room. On the other side, Xu Chengfeng was about to send the child in his arms back to the crowd when the little girl in his arms turned around and saw her mother running out of the crowd. When she saw her mother¡¯s frightened expression, she instinctively thought that the strange uncle who was hugging her was a bad person. She quickly lowered her head and bit the back of his hand. Xu Chengfeng was caught off guard and was bitten. Although it was not a big deal, he still let go of his hand in an instant. The little girl quickly took the opportunity to break free from his arms and ran towards her mother who was running out of the crowd. This was a normal scene. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze suddenly swept across the child¡¯s mother¡¯s face and recognized that she was the wife of the head of a certain firearms group in Boston. He instantly knew that the danger at the banquet tonight was 100% related to the firearms group behind this woman. His gaze only swept across the necklace on the woman¡¯s neck before he suddenly reached out to pull the innocent child back.¡±Don¡¯t go over!¡± ¡°Let go of me! I want my mommy!¡± The confused little girl screamed in fear. Just as Xu Chengfeng pulled the little girl back, someone suddenly fired a shot in his direction from behind. The shot was originally aimed at his heart. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that most of his attention was on the child to get rid of this huge obstacle. However, because Xu Chengfeng instantly carried the child and dodged, the shot only narrowly missed his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark on his shoulder. Zuo Yue turned around when she heard the gunshot, only to see the little girl¡¯s mother suddenly explode in the crowd¡­ In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and even sharper screams came from the crowd. People began to scatter and hide. They were frightened by the little girl in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. They looked at the empty space in front of them in a daze, but they could no longer see their mother. Xu Chengfeng covered the little girl¡¯s eyes with one hand with an ugly expression, not letting her continue looking. At the same time, he turned his eyes and swept a cold glance at those people. Zuo Yue also looked in that direction in disbelief. What kind of deep hatred was this? How could a person suddenly explode? Did that woman offend someone? Did someone secretly plant a miniature bomb on that woman? How could this be¡­ Ainte and the others had already rushed out and started shooting at those people. Xu Chengfeng ignored the injury on his shoulder and turned around with the little girl in his arms. The little girl suddenly seemed to have remembered something and struggled in his arms. Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and whispered a warning in the little girl¡¯s ear. The little girl immediately stopped moving. Because her eyes were covered, no one could see the little girl¡¯s tears. Xu Chengfeng turned around and handed her to another middle-aged woman in the banquet hall. After giving some instructions, he turned around and walked towards Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was still staring blankly at the direction where the woman had exploded. Xu Chengfeng walked up to her and looked at her with a serious expression.¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you to wait in the resting room? When did I let you out?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Worried that she couldn¡¯t say the word, Zuo Yue bit her lip and didn¡¯t explain further. She only looked at him again and said,¡±¡±Be careful, then.¡± Then, she looked at the bloody wound on his shoulder and told herself not to interfere or cause trouble. She turned around and left. Just as she turned around, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Zuo Yue felt her vision blur and she was suddenly pulled back into his arms. Xu Chengfeng hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. As he hugged her, he whispered in her ear,¡±¡±The mother of that child just now is an arms dealer. Because the situation between arms dealers and the underworld has become more and more serious in recent years, it¡¯s common for people to be hunted down in the open and in the dark.¡± Zuo Yue stared blankly at the little girl who was crying until she was about to die. She said stiffly,¡±¡±Such a small child, losing his mother just like that, so pitiful¡­¡± ¡°Being born into a family of firearms, such a fate is inevitable. However, she still has other family members.¡±Xu Chengfeng said as he let go of her. At the same time, he signaled her with his eyes to hurry back to the resting room. Zuo Yue nodded and turned to leave. Her heart was empty and filled with emotions. She could not think about romance in such an occasion, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s sudden hug seemed to have dispelled all her previous deductions. She pushed open the door to the resting room, and the scene inside shocked her so much that her footsteps froze. In order to escape, the couple had actually broken the window from the inside, which attracted the attention of the gangsters. Now, a few armed men had jumped into the window. The couple had been shot and were on the verge of death. Their child was being lifted up by one of them and was about to be thrown to the ground. Zuo Yue subconsciously took a step back. In the blink of an eye, he saw a chair not far away. He quickly picked up the chair and made up his mind. He turned around and rushed back to the resting room. He raised the heavy chair in his hand and smashed it hard on the person¡¯s back. The person who was hit only staggered for a moment, but the child in his hand fell to the ground because he did not throw it with all his strength. The child was so scared that he rolled and crawled to hide beside his parents who were shot. Those people suddenly looked at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue met their gazes. Although she was extremely afraid, she still hurriedly pulled the child and escaped with her. However, the person who was just hit by him picked up the chair on the ground and threw it at her when she turned around and was about to run. The person¡¯s strength was great, and the location of the smash was extremely precise. Zuo Yue was smashed forward and fell to the ground. She felt as if her spine was about to break. She coughed and spat out blood. She wanted to stand up, but the few people went forward and kicked her hard. She rolled out of the resting room through the tunnel that was kicked by the kick. In the end, she lay weakly on the ground. Even if she did not look back, She could still feel that the guns of those people were aimed at her head, and their killing intent was deep. Zuo Yue pressed her hands on the ground and raised her head with difficulty. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were red as she looked in the direction of the crowd in front of her. She looked at Xu Chengfeng from afar. Chapter 1153 - Chapter 1153: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (238) Chapter 1153: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (238) It was just a gunshot, but Zuo Yue was already numb from the pain. She felt as if her calves had been shot twice in a row. Xu Chengfeng turned his head abruptly because of the gunshot. He saw Zuo Yue, who was lying on the ground, staring at him with red eyes and trembling body. Zuo Yue¡¯s vision was a little blurry, but she was still staring in that direction. Her thoughts seemed to have returned to many years ago. She stood at the entrance of the cinema and stubbornly waited for that person¡¯s arrival. However, after waiting and waiting, all she got was a gunshot. Back then, Xu Chengfeng had said that other than his identity as an uncle, he was still a person who lived in darkness. So he pushed her away again and again. However, all the dangers she had faced over the years could not make her retreat. Even though death was beckoning to her now, she suddenly did not have the hatred and unwillingness from before. She just wanted to raise her hand to grab him, just want to hold his hand, just want to look at him again. ¡°Xu¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked in that direction in a daze. She could not see anything clearly. Suddenly, another gunshot rang in her ears, but the bullet did not hit her back. She seemed to hear the people beside her fall, as if she felt a gust of wind whistling past and suddenly rushed over. She felt as if someone was beside her until someone picked her up. She closed her eyes and could not open them again. She seemed to hear someone shouting in her ears. When Ainte rushed over, he saw Zuo Yue in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. There was blood at the corner of her mouth and her face was pale. The hem of her dress was stained red with blood, and there was even blood dripping down the edge of the dress. ¡°Miss Zuo!¡± Ayt was shocked that she had suffered such an injury in the blink of an eye. His eyes quickly swept over her body and saw that she had only been shot in the leg. There were no gunshot wounds on her vital parts. He heaved a sigh of relief and looked up at Xu Chengfeng, who was filled with murderous intent. He quickly said,¡±Boss, leave this to us! You guys go first!¡± Zuo Yue wanted to say that she was fine, but she could not open her eyes. She felt that the wound on her leg was burning, but it was not just painful. She felt that the feeling of her back almost breaking was very terrifying. She felt that her back was in pain from her back to her chest. She really wanted to ask, she just didn¡¯t want the child in the resting room to fall to his death, she just wanted to help him. She didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for him, but did she still cause trouble for him¡­ However, she could not say anything. She leaned weakly into that person¡¯s embrace. All kinds of voices rang in her ears, and she could not hear them clearly. .. After that¡­ Later on, Zuo Yue heard the sound of an ambulance. She felt as if she was carried into a car by a group of people. Then, many people surrounded her and quickly started to give her first aid. Later on, she felt that her hand was held by someone, and that person¡¯s hand had never left her hand. She could feel who that person was¡­ Zuo Yue closed her eyes and tried her best to smile, but she did not know that her smile was uglier than crying. ¡°Sir, your shoulder is also injured. You should let go of her first. Our people will treat you separately. The injury on your shoulder¡­¡± Zuo Yue did not continue to hear what the medical staff were saying in the car. She only gathered some strength and slowly opened her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face. There were blood stains on his shoulder and his upper body. She knew that the blood on his hands was hers. He would definitely not let himself suffer such serious injuries. He was so powerful. If it was not for her causing trouble every time, he would not have been stained with blood¡­ Xu Chengfeng did not want to delay her treatment, so he was about to let go of her hand. Although Zuo Yue did not have the strength, she slowly raised her hand at the same time as he let go. Xu Chengfeng saw her action, and the moment his hands separated, he suddenly held her back. Zuo Yue forced a smile. There were tears in her eyes, and her body was in so much pain that she almost lost her intuition. The dress of her gown had been lifted, and the wound on her leg was being stopped by a few medical staff. She did not know how much blood she had lost, but she just looked at the man in front of her. She grinned and said in a voice that was as low as possible for him to hear,¡±Let¡¯s continue our previous topic¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng held her hand tightly and did not speak. However, the veins on his forehead bulged when he saw the two gunshot wounds on her calf. Zuo Yue could only feel that her hand was about to be crushed by him. He was suppressing his anger, and she knew it. ¡°I¡¯m just an agent for the game.¡± As if no one was around, she said in a very, very, very soft voice,¡±I¡¯m afraid of love¡­ Uncle¡­Xu Chengfeng¡­No matter who you are¡­ I¡¯ve never cared¡­¡± As she spoke, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.¡±I¡¯m just afraid¡­He was afraid that one day¡­When he opened his eyes¡­You disappeared again¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m just afraid¡­You¡¯re only comforting me now¡­Just like three years ago¡­In order not to leave me with any regrets¡­And you¡¯re just accompanying me to put on such a show¡­¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t have the courage¡­I also love you so much¡­I don¡¯t have any strength left¡­¡± The corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched slightly as she looked at him with tears in her eyes.¡±¡±Forgive my willfulness, please¡­I¡¯m really afraid that you¡¯ll leave again¡­I can¡¯t even dream of you¡­Even your figure¡­I can¡¯t even capture it¡­¡± ¡°Sir.¡± The medical staff turned around and said,¡±You¡­¡± However, before the medical staff could finish speaking, Xu Chengfeng suddenly lifted Zuo Yue¡¯s hand to his mouth and lowered his head to kiss it. Zuo Yue felt the trembling on his lips and even felt something wet fall from his eyes onto the back of her hand. She was stunned for a moment. She did not expect such a tough man like Xu Chengfeng to have tears. Just as she was about to say something, Xu Chengfeng saw from the corner of his eye what the medical staff was doing on her leg. He suddenly leaned down and kissed her. Zuo Yue stared blankly at his face that was so close to her that she was confused. A sharp pain came from her leg. It was the pain of the bullet being taken out of her calf in an instant. It was so painful that she instantly gritted her teeth. Xu Chengfeng seemed to know what she was going to do next. Just as she was about to bite her own tongue, he suddenly stuck his tongue in. She froze and tried to push him away with all her might, but in the end, he kissed her so deeply and heavily that she could not bite him anymore. However, the pain in her leg made her tremble all over and tears fell in large drops. F * ck! It hurts! She stared at him, but it was as if he did not see her trembling in pain. He held her hand with one hand and allowed her nails to almost pierce into the back of his hand. He kissed her and allowed her to bite his mouth in pain until he let her go. Zuo Yue closed her eyes weakly and said in a voice that only he could hear,¡±Why¡­No anesthesia¡­It hurts¡­¡± Chapter 1154 - Chapter 1154: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (239) Chapter 1154: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (239) After saying this, Zuo Yue closed her eyes and stopped moving. Those people did not give her anesthesia anesthesia, so she was in so much pain that she almost fainted. If Xu Chengfeng had not used that method to distract her, she would have jumped up from the pain even if she had no strength. But now, her leg was already hurting so much that it didn¡¯t feel like it belonged to her. No matter how much it hurt it hurt, it didn¡¯t hurt as much as when she took out the bullet. She closed her eyes and didn¡¯t want to move at all. The only thing she could feel was that her hand was tightly held in his hand, refusing to leave., Later, in a daze, Zuo Yue seemed to hear the medical staff explaining to Xu Chengfeng. She said that because the two bullets had brushed past the edge of her calf bone and had almost injured her leg bone, she did not use anesthesia because she wanted to avoid the situation after her injury healed in the future. She did not want her calf bone to be affected, so she did not take the risk of using anesthesia¡­ It was probably so vague, but Zuo Yue no longer had the energy to listen. Everything in her ears had become blurry. Other than the warm palm on her hand, it was her only feeling. .. Zuo Yue felt that her legs were probably crippled. It was just like in the TV series. When she woke up, she couldn¡¯t feel her legs. She felt that the lower half of her body was numb and empty. She didn¡¯t know that after she was sent to the hospital, because the muscles in her legs needed to be sutured, she had to add anesthetic needles. She didn¡¯t know that her back had been injured by a chair and that she had also undergone a medium-sized operation. She didn¡¯t know how many days she had slept. Anyway, when she woke up for the first time, she felt that her body was no longer hers. She could not feel her legs, so she closed her eyes in despair and fell asleep again. She did not know how many days she had slept for. The pungent smell of disinfectant made her feel uncomfortable. It was as if someone was feeding her water. She opened her eyes slightly and saw that it was someone in a nurse¡¯s uniform. After being fed some water, she wanted to ask if her legs were crippled. She wanted to ask if she would be crippled in the future. She also wanted to ask where Xu Chengfeng had gone. She wanted to ask if he would despise her for being a paralyzed cripple in the future¡­ She had a bunch of messy thoughts and wanted to ask something, but after the nurse fed her to sleep, she fell asleep again. Zuo Yue was still unconscious. It was already the fifth day since she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment after she was injured that day. ¡°Still not awake?¡± When Aite walked into the ward, he glanced at Zuo Yue, who was still unconscious, and asked worriedly. Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue¡¯s sleeping appearance and said lightly,¡±¡±The nurse said that she woke up once when she was feeding her water yesterday, but she fell asleep again in less than two minutes.¡± Zuo Yue was indeed only sleeping now. Because of the excessive bleeding and the surgery on her legs and back, her body could not take it, so she had been sleeping like this. Ainte saw that although Xu Chengfeng often accompanied Zuo Yue here these few days, he did not seem to be very anxious now. Presumably, Zuo Yue should be fine, so Ainte did not say anything more. ¡°The whereabouts of the arms dealer¡¯s child have been found. The child is safe with her family. Although her mother unfortunately met with an accident, it¡¯s a good thing that there are many elders in the child¡¯s family who care about the child very much, so there¡¯s no need for outsiders like us to worry about it.¡± ¡°But speaking of which, it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen such a bloody way of killing. Directly installing a miniature bomb on the young mother¡¯s necklace. No less than 30 people were injured at the scene that day, and five people died. Recently, the Capital has been broadcasting news similar to that banquet. I¡¯m afraid that the people in Russia who we avoided perfectly will notice this. So, Boss, should we take action again?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue who was lying on the hospital bed. He did not say anything and turned around to leave. Ainte was a little puzzled. There were no outsiders in this ward, and Zuo Yue was still unconscious. Why did he have to go out and talk? But Ainte still obediently turned around and followed him out. Zuo Yue, who had been sleeping on the bed, slowly opened her eyes when the door to the ward was closed. She woke up for the third time because of Ainte¡¯s voice. She had been awake for a few minutes and heard what she needed to hear. However, she did not open her eyes because she knew that Xu Chengfeng was beside her. Why did the two of them go out to chat again? He couldn¡¯t have discovered that she was awake so easily, right? Zuo Yue looked in the direction of the ward door, then raised her eyes to look at the ceiling. She slowly moved her hands worriedly and reached down to her legs. Fortunately! Her legs are still there However, when she wanted to move her leg, she felt a terrible pain in her calf. She hissed softly and did not have the strength to get up. She could only continue to lie on the bed, occasionally looking at the door, and occasionally looking at the ceiling. Just as Zuo Yue had been awake for a while and felt that she was about to fall asleep from boredom, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. She thought that Xu Chengfeng had returned and was about to close her eyes and pretend to sleep when she saw the nurse walking in. Her eyelids twitched and she could not tell whether she was disappointed or relieved. ¡°Just now, Mr. Xu said that Miss Zuo was awake. I thought that Mr. Xu was mistaken. I didn¡¯t expect that you were really awake.¡±When the nurse saw that Zuo Yue had woken up, she quickly came in to help her change her dressing. Then, she turned around and walked out quickly without saying a word. Zuo Yue was at a loss. Did Xu Chengfeng know that she was awake? How did he know? She hadn¡¯t moved at all just now. She hadn¡¯t even moved her fingers, let alone opened her eyes. How could he tell that she was awake? After that, the doctor and the nurse came in together. Zuo Yue¡¯s physical strength was a little weak. The doctor was talking to the nurse by the bed, but a nurse came over and lifted her blanket to check the injury on her leg. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and almost fell asleep again after being played with. Suddenly, someone beside the bed said,¡±Mr. Xu.¡±¡± She immediately woke up as if she had been hit by a stick. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Chengfeng walking in. His gaze met hers at the same time. It was clearly a concerned look. Zuo Yue should have been very calm, but for some reason, she suddenly remembered the kiss she had been forcefully kissed in the ambulance. She also remembered the words she had said in the car when she thought she was about to die. And now, she felt that¡­ If there was a crack in the ground, he really wanted to crawl in. Xu Chengfeng walked closer to the bed. Zuo Yue¡¯s originally expressionless face became even more serious. She wanted to put on a cold face like before, but she could not turn cold no matter how hard she tried. ¨C [The new book has been released. The title is ¡®The Beautiful Wife Is Too Hot¡¯: Chief Hubby, Please Stop.¡±Because we are still updating this book, the new book updates are relatively slow. After this side story is over, the new book will be updated faster. You are welcome to add the new book to the bookshelf ~] Chapter 1155 - Chapter 1155: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (240) Chapter 1155: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (240) ¡°As long as Miss Zuo¡¯s calf injury is well recuperated for a period of time, she will be able to get out of bed and walk in less than a month if she rests in a sitting or lying position and doesn¡¯t touch water or suffer a second injury. However, her movements can¡¯t be too violent. She will be able to recover to her pre-injury state in two months.¡± After the doctor gave some more instructions, he left with the nurse. The ward suddenly became quiet. Zuo Yue lay on the bed and did not move. Although she still felt sleepy, she could not fall asleep because she felt Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze on her. However, her eyes did not want to stay on him, so she simply lay flat. Her eyes darted around the ceiling and looked at every corner of the room, but she did not look at the person beside the bed. ¡°When can I be at ease?¡±Xu Chengfeng said, his voice filled with heartache and helplessness. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze paused for a moment before she turned back to him. After thinking for a moment, she asked tentatively,¡±¡±Did I give you trouble again?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not reply at first. After looking at her for a while, he said calmly,¡±¡±No, at least you saved a child who almost fell to his death.¡± From what he said, even if he didn¡¯t know how she had returned to the resting room and ended up in danger, he must have checked the surveillance footage in the resting room over the past few days, so he knew what had happened. Fortunately, he did not wrongly accuse her and did not directly conclude that she had deliberately rushed to a dangerous place. Since he knew that she could not ignore the scene in the resting room, Zuo Yue did not need to explain anything now. She just lowered her head and looked at her legs.¡±Is my leg okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I almost hurt my leg bone. Luckily, you¡¯re lucky every time. It grazed the side of your leg bone. Although it¡¯s a little dangerous, at least it won¡¯t cause any disability.¡± Zuo Yue watched as Xu Chengfeng sat down on the bed as he spoke. She heaved a sigh of relief, but because he sat down without any intention of leaving, she suddenly felt a little awkward and did not know what to say. She had already said all the harsh words and harsh words from before. She did not know what else to say now. If she said too much, it seemed to be a delicate feeling. Zuo Yue did not know what Xu Chengfeng was looking at when he lifted her blanket and looked at her legs. However, seeing that his expression was normal, it should be as he said. It would not affect her too much. Zuo Yue looked at him and thought for a moment before asking softly,¡±¡±The little girl you saved that day¡­¡± ¡°She has been sent back to her other family members. However, that child was born into a family of firearms. Her future can only depend on her own fate.¡±Xu Chengfeng said lightly. ¡°She¡¯s so young. I wonder if she¡¯ll be traumatized after seeing her mother die tragically with her own eyes¡­¡± Zuo Yue was a little melancholic. Xu Chengfeng did not say anything more about the child. Zuo Yue looked at him again. Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to mention anyone who had nothing to do with them, she didn¡¯t say anything. Just as she was about to move her gaze away from his face, Xu Chengfeng said in a deep voice,¡±¡±With such injuries, I¡¯m afraid your internship will have to be postponed for two months.¡± Zuo Yue knew that there was nothing she could do now. She nodded.¡±I really didn¡¯t want to trouble you before, but now that I¡¯m absent from my internship for no reason, I¡¯m afraid I can only ask Mr. Xu to help me get a favor so that they won¡¯t deduct my internship points.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it properly yet, but after all, the internship points are the results I want to bring out in the future. I don¡¯t want to take such an ugly first step after graduating from school.¡±Zuo Yue sighed softly,¡± I want to take the first step in my life, so this first step is too important.¡±¡± It was not that he could not see Zuo Yue¡¯s seriousness about her internship. Xu Chengfeng did not reject her and nodded his head in agreement to help her. ¡°Thanks,¡± Zuo Yue smiled. ¡°Are you sure you want to be so polite with me?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her coldly. Zuo Yue smiled but did not say anything. She looked at his shoulder and saw that he was wearing a cotton t-shirt, the kind that was very tight, and it made him look thinner. Seeing that his shoulder did not seem to be bandaged, she immediately asked,¡±Didn¡¯t you treat the injury on your shoulder?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve treated it. I just applied medicine again this morning. You¡¯ve been unconscious for five days. I don¡¯t need to bandage this small injury for too long.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Zuo Yue said nothing else after she acknowledged him. The atmosphere was very awkward. She took advantage of Xu Chengfeng to pick up a tablet computer on the table next to her. She was reading some electronic files. Zuo Yue quietly pulled up the quilt on her body and covered half of her face. It was also considered as subconsciously covering her expression. She was afraid that the unstable emotions in her heart would be seen. Xu Chengfeng slid his hand on the tablet twice and looked at the things on it. Then, his gaze seemed to inadvertently glance at her lightly. Zuo Yue was so nervous that her nose and mouth under the blanket were having difficulty breathing. ¡°Just say what you want to say. There¡¯s no need to deliberately hide what you want to say in your heart. I¡¯m sure you won¡¯t be able to hide it for three days.¡±Xu Chengfeng said calmly. ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue quietly twitched her lips under the quilt. She looked at him for a while before asking in a low voice,¡±¡±Are you really not leaving?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her.¡± He clearly heard it clearly! His hearing was good! However, Zuo Yue still obediently raised her voice and asked,¡±¡±I¡¯m asking, are you really not going to leave this time?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the letter on the screen as if he did not care. He said casually as he read,¡±Leave? Where are we going?¡± ¡°Leaving America¡­¡± Zuo Yue asked carefully, but seeing that he did not seem to think much of it, the fire in her heart rose again. ¡°How can I stay in the United States forever? There are branches of the KP Group from Russia to the UK to China, and all over the world. I can¡¯t just leave the work of going abroad for investigation to my subordinates.¡± Seeing that he had said it so easily, Zuo Yue felt stifled and muttered unhappily under the blanket,¡±¡±You know that¡¯s not what I meant¡­When I say leave, I don¡¯t mean this kind of leave¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng put down the tablet in his hand and looked at her seriously.¡±What does that mean?¡± Other than occasionally having to fly to other places because I have something to deal with, what other way can I leave?¡± Chapter 1156 - Chapter 1156: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (241) Chapter 1156: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (241) After Zuo Yue heard what he said, she was quiet for a while before she finally understood the meaning behind his words. Her eyes immediately turned red as she whispered,¡±¡±Will you never leave without saying goodbye again? You won¡¯t let me not find you again¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her until she felt his hand holding hers. Then, she stared at his face in a daze. ¡°Never again.¡± Zuo Yue immediately started crying. She grabbed his hand and placed it on her eyes. She started crying. It was not the kind of wailing, but the kind of wailing that was accompanied by tears. In the end, Xu Chengfeng allowed her to rub her tears on his hand and then used his other hand to pass her a piece of tissue. He did not know how long he had cried, but the sadness and fear that had been hidden in his heart for three years finally vented out. In the end, Zuo Yue did not mind the tears on his hand and directly bit the back of his hand. Although Xu Chengfeng was in pain, he did not struggle. He just looked at Zuo Yue, who was venting her anger in an increasingly strange way, and sighed.¡±Are you a dog? Why do you like to bite now?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help it. Who asked me to hate you to the point where my teeth itch? If I don¡¯t bite you a few times, I¡¯ll feel uncomfortable.¡±Only then did Zuo Yue start to dislike the tears and saliva on his hands. Although the tears and saliva were hers, she pushed his hands away with a look of disgust. Xu Chengfeng sighed and retracted his hand. Zuo Yue wiped her snot and tears with a piece of paper. She felt much better. ¡°Who was the one who said that he didn¡¯t even hate me? If there was no love, there would be no hate. Now, you¡¯re saying that you hate her so much that your teeth itch. Can you say the truth?¡± Zuo Yue, however, muttered unhappily,¡±¡±Don¡¯t try to act innocent after getting a bargain. I haven¡¯t said I¡¯ll forgive you yet.¡± After saying that, she pulled up the blanket and covered her head without saying a word. Xu Chengfeng sighed softly when he saw her behaving like she did three years ago. He patted her blanket gently and said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t be bored. Originally, I can¡¯t guarantee that my leg will recover to a completely healthy state. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to come back and find my little girl. If I become disabled first and then become stupid from boredom, I¡¯ll suffer a huge loss.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the silly one.¡± In order to prove that her legs were definitely not crippled, Zuo Yue poked her head out of the blanket and raised her leg to kick him. However, just as she lifted her leg, her face turned pale. She hissed and quickly put her leg back to its original position. Xu Chengfeng saw her serious expression and did not say anything more about her. If he said a few more words, she would probably jump out of bed to prove something, so he simply let her be alone. ***** Twenty days later- Zuo Yue was still sleeping when she was discharged. He could have waited for her to wake up before she was discharged, but when Ainte parked the car outside the hospital and waited, he suddenly turned around and saw his BOSS carrying Zuo Yue out. Ainte quickly opened the door and got out of the car. He was about to go forward to help when Xu Chengfeng gestured for Ainte to open the back door. Then, he carried Zuo Yue into the car. ¡°Boss, Miss Zuo has been sleeping too much recently.¡±Ainte couldn¡¯t help but mutter when he returned to the car. ¡°The doctor said that the medicine he prescribed for her two days ago was quite strong. After taking the medicine, she¡¯s more sleepy. She¡¯ll be fine after a few days when she gets used to the medicine.¡± As he spoke, Xu Chengfeng glanced at the girl who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Ainte felt that this was the first time in his life that he had seen such a gentle side of his BOSS. Even if his patience with Zuo Yue three years ago was already unbelievable enough, it was even more unbelievable now. Was this still the same BOSS who had faced piles of corpses and hundreds of bullets at the Russian border with a cold face like the King of Hell? This was simply a gentle and passionate male lead in a romance drama. Ainte didn¡¯t dare to say anything. He started the car and took his male lead, ah, no, his BOSS and his niece out of the hospital. .. Zuo Yue only slept for a while. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was no longer looking at the glaring white ceiling of the hospital, and her nose was no longer filled with the smell of disinfectant. Instead, it was the familiar ceiling of the exquisitely designed bedroom. She could smell the faint fragrance of the blanket. Everything was so familiar that she even suspected that she had slept back to three years ago. Why was she in the bedroom of the villa near the medical university? Just as she was about to sit up, the bubble that she had dreamt of for three years suddenly burst. The slight soreness in her legs woke her up. She changed to the way she was used to sitting up in the hospital a few days ago. She slowly got up and looked around. The curtains in the room were half-closed, but half of them could still see the bright sky outside. After searching for a long time, he finally found his phone on the cabinet beside the bed. It was already afternoon. Didn¡¯t he agree to let her return to his apartment after she was discharged? Didn¡¯t they agree to hire an auntie to take care of her? Why was she brought back to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s villa after sleeping for a long time? Zuo Yue scratched her head and turned around to get off the bed. When her feet landed on the ground, it was the same as the past few days. It was difficult for her to get up and she felt a little uncomfortable when she walked. She needed some support to barely walk. With much difficulty, she propped herself up against the wall and walked to the door. The moment she opened the door, she was surprised to see Xu Chengfeng walking to the door with a few bags in his hands. The moment Zuo Yue saw him, she wanted to question him, but the soreness in her legs made her unable to stand it. She staggered against the wall, afraid that she would fall. She quickly turned around and leaned against the door to support herself. Xu Chengfeng saw her actions and reached out to support her.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I tell you to walk less and rest more? Your legs will need at least half a month before you can get out of bed and walk. It¡¯s not good for the recovery of your calves if you walk too early or too late.¡± ¡°I saw no one in the room, so I went out to take a look.¡±After Zuo Yue was helped back to the bed and sat down, she looked up at him.¡±¡±Why am I back here? You brought me back to your place on purpose, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°That apartment of yours is small. It¡¯s inconvenient to hire someone to take care of it or for me to take care of you.¡±Xu Chengfeng said calmly as he placed the bag in his hand by the bed.¡±I just got someone to bring some of your clothes from your apartment. Wear these for now. When you recover, I¡¯ll accompany you to buy some new ones. You¡¯ve lost so much weight recently.¡± His words made it seem as if he was going to become his mistress after he returned here. However, Zuo Yue actually enjoyed it very much. She felt happy when she heard it, as if her backer had returned. Chapter 1157 - Chapter 1157: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (242) Chapter 1157: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (242) On the night they returned to the villa, Ainte had specially sent a chef over to cook a super sumptuous meal in the villa. Of course, because Zuo Yue was still recovering, most of them were based on the list, but it was also extremely delicious. After Zuo Yue had eaten her fill, she still lay on the sofa and insisted that Xu Chengfeng help her squeeze a glass of fruit juice. Otherwise, she would lie on the sofa and refuse to go back to the bedroom to rest. Chef and Ainte had left just now. Zuo Yue was leaning on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, waiting for her juice. The sound of the juicer came from the kitchen. Although the sound was very soft, Zuo Yue felt secretly happy when she heard it. This kind of life where he could easily order Xu Chengfeng around was really comfortable. Two minutes later, a cup of green kiwifruit juice was handed to her. Zuo Yue turned around and saw the calm and indifferent look in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes. He did not seem to be dissatisfied at all because he was deliberately ordered around by her. Was this man really going to satisfy her as long as her request was not too much? Zuo Yue took the fruit juice and took a sip before smacking her lips.¡±¡±Did you put rock sugar in it? It didn¡¯t taste sour at all.¡± ¡°I did.¡± Xu Chengfeng sat on the sofa opposite her. Seeing that she was drinking happily, he smiled faintly.¡±Any other requests? After saying all that, he quickly returned to his room to rest after he was satisfied.¡± ¡°Why? In the afternoon, you said that you would take care of me personally. You¡¯re already impatient after making some juice?¡±Zuo Yue sipped on her fruit juice and glanced at him.¡±¡±I haven¡¯t thought of what I want you to do yet.¡± Seeing her arrogant expression, Xu Chengfeng chuckled.¡±¡±Alright, take your time to think about it. I¡¯ll go to the study first and sit here obediently to think. Don¡¯t move around. The doctor told you that as long as your leg doesn¡¯t suffer a second injury during the recovery period, it will recover after a period of time.¡± ¡°I know, I know. You¡¯re so long-winded now.¡±Zuo Yue waved her hand at him cheerfully. Xu Chengfeng got up and walked towards the study. Zuo Yue turned around and looked in his direction. She saw that he did not close the door of the study but left it open. It was obvious that he did not intend to leave her alone in the living room. Whether a man really cared about her or not could be seen from any detail and behavior. Although Xu Chengfeng had indulged her a lot three years ago, he had always deliberately kept his distance from her in certain aspects, often isolating her from him. And now¡­ After Zuo Yue finished her fruit juice, she felt a little sleepy as she sat on the sofa. She had been sleeping a lot in the hospital recently, causing her biological clock to get used to sleeping too frequently every day. However, it was only eight o¡¯clock at night. He had to hold on for at least another hour before going to sleep. Xu Chengfeng was looking at something on his laptop in the study. Zuo Yue got up and slowly walked over with everything that could support her. When she reached the door of the study, Xu Chengfeng heard her movements and looked back at her. Seeing that she seemed bored, he gave her a look to let her rest. Zuo Yue ignored him and walked in. She walked to the tall bookcase and ran her hand over the books. Finally, she stopped on a book related to medicine. She took it out and flipped through it casually. As she read, she said,¡±I didn¡¯t think much of it when I suddenly switched to business management these few years, but when I met you, I regretted not pursuing my medical studies properly.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her.¡± ¡°I seem to always get hurt whenever I meet you. Don¡¯t you think the aura between the two of us is naturally evil?¡±Zuo Yue said. Initially, Zuo Yue was just asking jokingly. She knew that every time she was injured, it was a coincidence. Also, she was hospitalized for pneumonias previously because she sweated and did not wear clothes, causing her to catch a cold and have a high fever. He said that she was injured or sick. To put it bluntly, she often became a weak person in front of him, a weak person who always needed him to worry about and take care of her. However, Xu Chengfeng did not laugh at her joke. He pushed the computer aside and walked over. Zuo Yue felt the shadow beside her approach and thought that he was coming over to take some books or materials. Instinctively, she was about to move away slightly, but her waist suddenly tightened. Xu Chengfeng pulled her into his arms and her head leaned on his shoulder. She was about to raise her head when Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand landed on the back of her head and caressed it. She paused and stopped moving. She leaned into his arms and said,¡±What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Zuo Yue turned her face slightly and felt that he was hugging her very tightly. She pursed her lips.¡±I was just joking earlier. Actually, I was the one who was careless every time¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let you get hurt again. Unless I die, I won¡¯t let you get hurt again.¡±Xu Chengfeng hugged her even tighter. When he finished speaking, he planted a gentle kiss on the top of her head.¡±I won¡¯t do it again¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was very warm. She obediently leaned her head on his shoulder and obediently leaned into his embrace, allowing him to hug her like this. It was as if she had finally gotten what she had longed for three years ago. She slowly raised her hand and hugged him back.¡±¡±I¡¯ll be more careful in the future, but like you said back then, your identity in Russia is unusual, and some things are inevitable, so I¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll handle the matters in Russia.¡± Deal with it? Deal with what? Zuo Yue wanted to ask, but she knew Xu Chengfeng¡¯s temper too well. She knew that even if she asked, he would not tell her if he did not want to. However, since he said that he would handle it, she believed him. Three years ago, she was still a little impulsive and always liked to get to the bottom of things. Although she was still the same person now, at least she knew how to go with the flow. At least she knew that now that she had everything that she had dreamed of, she would not think about it anymore. Zuo Yue leaned comfortably in his arms. She rubbed her face against his neck like a lazy kitten and whispered,¡±¡±You¡¯ve been delaying a lot of work recently, haven¡¯t you? If you¡¯re busy, go ahead. I¡¯ll go watch TV in the living room.¡± ¡°Is it boring to watch TV alone?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s a little boring¡­¡± Zuo Yue retreated from his embrace.¡±¡±But it¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll go to sleep after a while.¡± She turned around and was about to leave when she felt a tight grip on her waist. Xu Chengfeng immediately picked her up. Chapter 1158 - Chapter 1158: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (243) Chapter 1158: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (243) She turned around and was about to leave when she felt a tight grip on her waist. Xu Chengfeng immediately picked her up. Zuo Yue was shocked. She turned her head around and almost hit his chin. In the blink of an eye, Xu Chengfeng carried her back to the computer and made her find a comfortable position in his arms. She looked at him in a daze and only understood when she saw that he had gotten into work mode in the blink of an eye. Was he afraid that she would be bored, so he simply let her sit in his arms and accompany him to work here? Since when could Xu Chengfeng be so gentle and affectionate? He could take care of all her little women¡¯s emotions like this? Zuo Yue leaned into his embrace and did not move. She did not disturb him. She just quietly raised her head to look at his face. This angle was from below his chin. Usually, this angle could make a person look very ugly. However, she had always thought that Xu Chengfeng was not as handsome as her biological brother to the point where he could anger both men and gods. However, this man was also 360 degrees good-looking without any blind spots. In the past, Julie and the others had always said that his uncle was so handsome. He was the type of man who could instantly attract a girl in a crowd. At that time, Zuo Yue did not think much of it. After all, she liked Xu Chengfeng not because of his face. After all, she had seen many handsome men since she was young and had long become numb to them. Therefore, she had never been attracted by his face, so she did not understand what she saw in him back then. Now that she looked at him from this angle, she realized that Xu Chengfeng was really the type who was already very popular with girls. Moreover, he was the type who was getting more and more attractive. This angle was still so beautiful. Indeed, it could only be described as 360 degrees without any blind spots. A man who was already outstanding in appearance, with all kinds of experience and maturity added to his face, was indeed eye-catching enough¡­ Zuo Yue stared at his face for a long time. Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng tapped on the laptop¡¯s touch panel twice. Although he did not look down at her, he said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±If you continue to look like this, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to take care of the injury on your leg.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a moment. In the blink of an eye, she understood the meaning behind his words and her face instantly turned red. The previous afternoon¡¯s torment had happened under her resistance and unwillingness. She had yet to get used to the fact that the two of them had actually had sex. She instantly lowered her head and stopped staring at him. She leaned into his arms and enjoyed the comfort. She felt that this peace was something she had never been able to get. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck, then rubbed against his chest. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Xu Chengfeng warned in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯m just looking for a comfortable position.¡±Zuo Yue argued aggrievedly. Anyway, no one wanted to seduce her. To lure him in. ¡°Move a little more and we¡¯ll go back to the bedroom.¡± ¡°..¡± Alright, I won¡¯t move. The little thing in his arms stopped moving, but Xu Chengfeng¡¯s heart was already a little restless. He tried to focus most of his attention on the data and documents on the computer. After about fifteen minutes, he felt the little thing in his arms tilt its head. He immediately looked down and saw Zuo Yue sleeping in his arms. The little girl was extremely quiet when she was sleeping. Due to the dim yellow light in the study and the close angle, her eyelashes cast a large shadow under her eyes. She even felt very safe because of this sleeping position. She was clearly in her twenties, but she looked like a baby when she was sleeping in someone¡¯s arms. He got up and picked her up. To avoid waking her up, Xu Chengfeng gave up on carrying her back to the bedroom upstairs. ***** Damn it. Didn¡¯t she just fall asleep in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms last night? She shouldn¡¯t have had an erotic dream while she was asleep, right? Zuo Yue turned over on the bed. She could still feel the man¡¯s abdominal muscles. When she touched it, it was his firm chest. The feeling was so real that she wondered how much she wanted to continue having all kinds of negative distance relationships with Xu Chengfeng. This dream was too realistic. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and touched around until she turned over again and used another hand to touch. However, because this hand was too downward, she had just touched the lower part of the abdominal muscles. Instinctively, she was about to continue moving down when she suddenly felt a pain on her wrist and was grabbed by someone. Shocked, she opened her eyes abruptly. In an instant, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s dark and bottomless eyes locked firmly on her. From the expression on his face, Zuo Yue was stunned for a long time before she reacted. This was not a dream! She was even more shocked because her hand had almost touched the spot. She quickly withdrew her hand. Xu Chengfeng did not stop her and let go of her hand just as she was about to retreat. Zuo Yue retreated to the side of the bed with a whoosh and only stopped when she was about to fall. ¡°You, you, you¡­I, I, I¡­ Why are you on my bed?¡± Zuo Yue swung her hand that felt hot for some reason as she questioned him awkwardly. Xu Chengfeng felt a headache as he lay there and massaged the space between his eyebrows. He had only slept for less than three hours, and he had been touched by this girl early in the morning. He had nowhere to vent his anger, and the person who started the fire looked as if she was just dreaming and had no intention of touching him. Zuo Yue slowly lifted the blanket again. She saw that her clothes were completely intact and did not look like they had been taken off before. When she lifted the blanket, she saw that Xu Chengfeng was also wearing pants on his lower body, but his upper body was naked. He looked like he was simply sleeping. Moreover, he looked like he had stayed up for at least half the night last night and was very tired. Her attention was once again attracted by everything in the bedroom. After looking around, Zuo Yue turned around and asked in surprise,¡±¡±Why am I in your bedroom?¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed slightly and turned to look at her indifferently because he had nowhere to vent his lust.¡±¡±You fell asleep last night, so I threw you into my bedroom.¡± Zuo Yue thought about it and realized that she was the one who was touching him just now. He was just sleeping. This was a huge loss of face. ¡°I thought it was the doll in my bedroom. Sometimes, I hug the doll to sleep. You might not know this, but I didn¡¯t touch it on purpose just now. I¡­ I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she hurriedly turned around and got off the bed. When her feet landed on the ground, she slowly stood up. She took advantage of the fact that Xu Chengfeng did not seem to have any intention of stopping her and hurriedly walked towards the door. Xu Chengfeng looked at her legs that were not very stable when she walked with a lifeless expression. Then, he lowered his eyes to look at the bulge under the blanket. He raised his hand to hold his forehead with a headache. The moment Zuo Yue opened the door and walked out, he blurted out,¡±I give you half a month to recover from your leg injury!¡± Zuo Yue froze in front of the door. At the same time, the corner of her mouth twitched violently. Chapter 1159 - Chapter 1159: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (244) Chapter 1159: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (244) After slipping back into her room, Zuo Yue quickly closed the door. She lowered her head and looked at her hand. She recalled the state she saw Xu Chengfeng in when she turned around and saw him lying on the bed just before she left. Although she was separated by the blanket, her attention was focused on the bulge under the blanket¡­ Ahhhhh, I¡¯m going crazy! In the past, he had never been so direct. He had always been so patient. In the past, no matter how bold she was to seduce him, he would always remain unmoved. He was actually so direct now! He didn¡¯t even hide it in front of her. Zuo Yue bit her finger and turned around to lie down on the bed in her bedroom. However, the moment she closed her eyes, she was filled with the image of Xu Chengfeng, who was not wearing any clothes and was looking at her with a deep gaze. She quickly turned over and grabbed the pillow, placing it on her head. ***** Four days later, Zuo Yue¡¯s walking condition seemed to have returned to normal. As long as it was not too intense, she would not feel any discomfort. She was planning to go to the supermarket with Xu Chengfeng to buy some ingredients and also take a walk for a simple exercise. Zuo Yue had just changed her clothes when she suddenly saw an uninvited guest at home when she went downstairs. It was Chries, the woman who had claimed to be Xu Chengfeng¡¯s girlfriend three years ago. Later on, for some reason, she and Xu Chengfeng ended up together. However, Zuo Yue did not pay much attention to it after that. After all, she did not think that Xu Chengfeng had any feelings for Chries at that time. Now, she suddenly saw that woman appear again. She was even standing in front of the door as if she had just arrived. Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze paused on her for a moment. When her gaze met with that of Chries, Chries was also surprised to see Zuo Yue here after three years. The two of them turned to look at Xu Chengfeng at the same time. Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng with a slightly indifferent gaze, as if she was silently mocking him for not breaking up completely with this woman. Chries looked at Xu Chengfeng with a questioning gaze. Why was his niece here again? Xu Chengfeng acted as if he did not see the look in their eyes. Although he had opened the door for Chries to enter, he did not seem to have any intention of inviting her to sit down or entertain her. He only glanced at the stack of documents in her hands.¡±You brought it all over?¡± ¡± CEO Xu, I think there¡¯s still room for change regarding the electronic proposal of the Ci Group. Do you want us to¡­¡± ¡± Put down their information first. I¡¯ll make a decision after I read it later.¡±¡±Xu Chengfeng interrupted her coldly,¡±¡±I¡¯m going out for a while. We¡¯ll talk about the rest when I go to the company.¡± Chries stood rooted to the spot. He did not hand the information over to him immediately. Instead, he looked at Zuo Yue as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Zuo Yue looked at her calmly, and when Chries looked at her, she gave her a smile that seemed to be magnanimous but meaningful. Then, Zuo Yue turned around and poured herself a glass of water, ignoring her existence. ¡°Miss Zuo, long time no see.¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue was ignoring her, Chries still spoke up. She looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s figure, which seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and said softly,¡±¡±We haven¡¯t seen each other for more than three years, right?¡± Zuo Yue drank half a glass of water and held the glass in her hand. She turned to look at Chries with a smile.¡±It seems so.¡± ¡°Are you still a student? Have you graduated? Why was it still there¡­Boss Xu is staying here?¡± This question was too direct. Zuo Yue only glanced at her and smiled without answering. Why are you still staying here? She also wanted to know why Xu Chengfeng had brought her back here after she had fallen asleep that day. Was he deliberately trying to make her feel those foolish and blind feelings of the past? Or did he want to use this place to let her regain her past memories? She was too lazy to explain. Chries could feel that the girl who used to be straightforward seemed to have grown up a lot. She was no longer the girl who would always say everything on her mind. She kept looking at Zuo Yue, her eyes sweeping back and forth without any hesitation. Suddenly, her line of sight was blocked. Chries snapped out of her daze and saw Xu Chengfeng walking towards her, not knowing if he did it intentionally or unintentionally. Since her vision was blocked, Chries didn¡¯t say anything else. She reached out and handed him a stack of documents.¡±President Xu, if there¡¯s anything else you need, I¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s all. In the future, just leave the delivery of the physical materials to your assistant. You don¡¯t have to come personally.¡±Xu Chengfeng took the documents and turned around without looking at her again. Charied, Chries stood rooted to the ground and saw the man¡¯s back view, which was still unwilling to show any more enthusiasm to her. She bit her lip secretly. She never expected that she would never be able to win his heart after so many years. For this man, her heart had been tormented for many years, but in the end, she still could not walk into his heart. In fact, she might not even exist on the edge of his heart. Zuo Yue had already put down her glass of water. She picked up a business magazine by the dining table and glanced at it as if Chries was not there. At the same time, she suddenly said,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t go to King Corporation¡¯s business exhibition at the end of the month, did you?¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her, his eyes clearly saying that she was asking the obvious. He spent 28 days a month by her side taking care of her and accompanying her. He had even delayed a lot of work, so how could he attend any business meetings? Zuo Yue was asking the obvious. When he looked at her, she raised her eyes and shot him a provocative look. It was obvious that the little girl was secretly jealous, but she didn¡¯t want to act like she was really jealous. She wanted to save face. Xu Chengfeng calmly turned around and said to Chries, who was still standing at the door and had no intention of leaving,¡± Go back to the realm of the dead ¡°But, CEO Xu, there are still some things to verify. Don¡¯t you need me to accompany you in the study room¡­¡± He still had to accompany her in the study? Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows and closed the magazine beside her. ¡°No need. Just go back to the company and wait for my notice.¡±Xu Chengfeng picked up the coat that he had just placed on the sofa and casually placed it in his arms. At the same time, he said calmly,¡±I promised Zuo Yue that I would accompany her to the supermarket to buy some things. I was about to go out just now.¡± It was such an obvious order to leave. If Chries couldn¡¯t hear it, all these years in the mall would have been in vain. Although she was unwilling to accept it and did not want the man she had loved for so many years to have an unclear relationship with his niece, she was not in a position to say anything. Chapter 1160 - Chapter 1160: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (245) Chapter 1160: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (245) ¡°Miss Chries, are you afraid that there won¡¯t be any cars on the way back?¡±Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at Chries, who had yet to leave. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Where are you going, Miss Churis? If it¡¯s in the same way as us, why don¡¯t we go together?¡±Zuo Yue smiled as if that was really the case. Xu Chengfeng glanced at the girl who looked generous but was obviously unhappy. He walked around Chries and left Zuo Yue to her own devices. ¡°No need. I drove here myself.¡±Chries turned around and followed Xu Chengfeng out. Before Zuo Yue could catch up to them, Chries walked behind Xu Chengfeng and said softly,¡±¡±Chengfeng, you and your niece.¡±¡± ¡°Mind your own business.¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t even reply. After he finished speaking, he had already walked to the car. Chries choked on her words. She knew that Xu Chengfeng hated it when other people meddled in other people¡¯s business, so she turned around and walked to the side of the car. When she heard the door open, she turned around and saw Zuo Yue coming out. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s pace was not very fast. She walked slowly, as if her legs did not dare to walk too fast. However, she only took a few glances at her, because this had nothing to do with her. No matter how much Chries wanted to talk to Xu Chengfeng, she felt embarrassed and went straight into the car. He drove away. Seeing that Chries had driven off, Zuo Yue opened Xu Chengfeng¡¯s car door and sat in it. She looked in the direction where the car had left.¡±¡± I¡¯m thinking that you¡¯ve only moved the focus of all the development of the GN Group to the United States in recent years, but you¡¯ve actually only been in the United States for a short period of time, yet this Chries is so devoted to you. Then, you grew up in Russia and started your business there. Do you have a lot of fans in Russia? Do you owe a lot of love debts?¡± Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her.¡± ¡± Who¡¯s jealous?¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡± I mean, there must be many women who want to follow you around. You said that you missed me so much that you couldn¡¯t sleep well at night for the past three years. Did no woman climb into your bed?¡±¡± The more she spoke, the more she deviated from the normal track. Xu Chengfeng only glanced at her, but did not argue with her sour words. When the car drove out of the villa¡¯s gate, he just casually turned the steering wheel and drove to the intersection in front of him. In less than five minutes, they arrived at the supermarket that Zuo Yue used to go to. Zuo Yue was the first to get out of the car and wait for him in front of the supermarket. Xu Chengfeng came over after parking the car and saw Zuo Yue standing in front of the door with her head lowered and pacing back and forth. It seemed that her mood was clouded again. She even knew how to be angry and jealous. It seemed that her usual calmness could not last for a few days. Zuo Yue could not explain how she felt, but she felt a little angry when she saw Chries today. Although Xu Chengfeng did not seem to give Chries a chance to be nice, she realized that Chries and Xu Chengfeng might have maintained a certain degree of contact in their work and personal lives over the past three years. Her mood was especially excited, and she really wanted to know what he had done in the three years when she was not with him. Was there really no woman around him? Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder. She snapped back to her senses and was shocked to see that Xu Chengfeng had already come over. Without saying a word, he put his arm around her shoulder and walked in. ¡°Weren¡¯t there no parking spaces just now? It stopped so quickly?¡± Zuo Yue asked as she walked. ¡°After you get off the car, there will be an empty space in front of you.¡±Xu Chengfeng said casually. The two of them walked through the door of the supermarket. As they passed by the crowd, his hand was firmly on her shoulder. Even in front of the supermarket shelves, Xu Chengfeng was still pushing the shopping cart with one hand and hugging her with the other. The feeling of a real couple shopping in the supermarket made Zuo Yue feel as if her legs were floating when she walked. He suddenly stopped and picked up a bottle of fresh milk from the shelf. While he was looking at the date on it, Zuo Yue hid between his arms and was about to go to the shelf next to him to get two bags of dried fruit snacks. Before her hand could touch the snack bag on the shelf, her waist was suddenly pulled back and she crashed into his arms. A bottle of fresh milk was handed to him.¡±As he spoke, he pointed at the other brands of milk on the shelf. ¡°Whatever. Anyway, the taste of fresh milk after heating is similar.¡±Zuo Yue said as she looked at the shelf.¡±¡±Can I get some snacks?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Even though she said that, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand around her waist had no intention of letting go. Zuo Yue turned around and glared at him.¡±Then let me go and get it!¡± However, Xu Chengfeng did not intend to let her eat those at all. He directly brought her to the opposite shelf. Zuo Yue raised her head and looked at the natural preserved fruits on the shelf. Those were dried fruit snacks with a lot of preserving agents, but these were natural dried fruits. Although Zuo Yue was a little reluctant, she remembered that her brother, Zuo Hancheng, never allowed her to buy those junk food when he accompanied her to the supermarket in the past. As expected, men who liked to poke their noses into other people¡¯s business were all born with a personality. Xu Chengfeng had no reason to be too strict with her, but he would still control her snacks. She did not know how Gu Anhao¡¯s sister-in-law managed to survive by her brother¡¯s side. She was probably being controlled so much that she wanted to break out of prison every day. As she thought about it, she suddenly remembered that Gu Anhao was still in Boston, until she heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice.¡±¡±Are you sure¡­Do you like this brand?¡± What brand? Zuo Yue was stunned. When she came back to her senses and lowered her head to take a look, her face instantly turned red. She had unknowingly walked to the shelf selling condoms. She was still holding a box of silver Okamoto condoms in her hand, and it seemed like she had been playing with it for a long time. Looking at the shelves full of Okamoto and Doris, as well as all kinds of condoms, Zuo Yue hurriedly put the box back as if she had just grabbed a hot potato. However, Xu Chengfeng took the box from her hand. He glanced at it and smiled faintly.¡±Good taste.¡± ¡°..¡±It¡¯s really a hundred words that can¡¯t be explained Xu Chengfeng put the box of Okamoto into the shopping cart right in front of her, then pushed the shopping cart to the other shelf in a good mood. Damn, why was he in such a good mood all of a sudden? She didn¡¯t want to buy that! Chapter 1161 - Chapter 1161: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (246) Chapter 1161: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (246) Xu Chengfeng had already turned around to go to the other shelves. Zuo Yue¡¯s face was still hot. She turned around angrily and was about to walk over quickly. As she was walking, she did not expect Xu Chengfeng to suddenly stop in front of her. With a bang, she bumped into his sturdy back with her face and immediately raised her hand to cover her nose. Xu Chengfeng looked back and saw her scrunched up little face. He smiled helplessly and reached out to hug her, then gently stroked her head,¡±¡±What else do you want to buy?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree that we were only here to buy some food?¡±Zuo Yue said as she glanced at the box of things in the car.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t want to buy that thing at all.¡± Her voice was very soft. Xu Chengfeng laughed as if he did not hear her clearly.¡±You didn¡¯t want to buy anything?¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes at him. She reached out to take out the box of Okamoto, but before her hand could touch it, she was stopped by him. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s low and laughing voice rang in her ears.¡±You want me to not wear it?¡± Zuo Yue slapped his hand away,¡±I hope you can get lost!¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled. He did not let her take the box of vegetables away. He pushed the shopping cart with one hand and held her with the other as they walked to the vegetable section. Zuo Yue walked over half-heartedly. After confirming that he was really picking the fresh vegetables and did not intend to tease her anymore, she stood behind him and picked up two tomatoes to take a look. Her mind was always occupied by the things in the shopping cart. She couldn¡¯t tell if she was shy or something else. It was an indescribable feeling of being hooked, but it was not a bad feeling. She pursed her lips, picked a few tomatoes, and put them in the shopping cart. At the same time, she said,¡±I want borscht.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at the tomatoes that she had picked.¡±¡±Do you want soup or tomato skin?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. In the blink of an eye, all the tomatoes in the shopping cart were thrown back by Xu Chengfeng. Then, he turned around and walked to the other side of the open stall to pick up a few tomatoes. Zuo Yue touched the tomatoes she had just taken, then walked over to touch the ones he had placed in the shopping cart. As expected, the tomatoes she had taken before were definitely ripened artificially or injected with hormones. The skin was hard and thick to the touch. The ones he had just taken were much better than hers. Not only did Xu Chengfeng occasionally have the potential to be a stay-at-home man, but he was also so professional when it came to grocery shopping. What kind of life was he living in Russia? ¡°You used to go to the supermarket by yourself in Russia?¡±Zuo Yue could not help but ask. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the president of a corporation and a mafia boss, yet you¡¯re still shopping by yourself. Are you not idle 24 hours a day?¡±Zuo Yue muttered. ¡°What?¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled. Why are you so interested in my past?¡± Zuo Yue immediately turned her face and said,¡±¡±I¡¯m not interested. Don¡¯t flatter yourself.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, but he did not care that she liked to put on an act with him now. He just sighed and patted her head.¡±What else? Buy some more. Your legs won¡¯t be able to take it if you walk for too long.¡± ¡°It¡¯s almost done.¡± Zuo Yue saw that he had bought quite a lot of ingredients. He did not lack vegetables and meat, and there was not too much or too little. She felt that if they were placed in the fridge, they should be able to last for two days. When they walked out of the supermarket, Zuo suddenly said,¡±¡±My mother might come to Boston to visit me in a few days. After all, she always thought that I lived alone outside. Although I often avoided seeing them in the past few years, she would come here to visit me regularly.¡± Xu Chengfeng put the shopping bags into the car and turned around to look at her, waiting for her to continue. ¡°So I want to find some time to move back to my apartment in the next few days. I can¡¯t let my mom find out that you and I are¡­¡± After all, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s family background was still a big problem for the Xu family. Even though they were not related by blood, the inheritance of the Xu family and a series of other things were holding him back. For the time being, he did not have the freedom to accompany her in front of her mother. ¡°A few days.¡± ¡°Under normal circumstances, he would accompany me here for three to four days, help me tidy up the house, and accompany me to go shopping.¡± ¡°You can go shopping with your legs? She had only walked in the supermarket for more than half an hour and she was already on the verge of collapse. How could she go shopping?¡± Zuo Yue really could not hold on any longer, but how could he tell? ¡°Even if I don¡¯t go shopping, my mom will accompany me for a chat or something. Anyway, she will be coming over soon, so I just want to move back.¡± ¡°You can move in when she comes over. I didn¡¯t ask anyone to bring over too many clothes from your side. It¡¯s enough for you to wear when you go back.¡±Xu Chengfeng closed the trunk door expressionlessly.¡±¡±Get in the car.¡± Zuo Yue looked at him,¡±About my mother¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng directly hugged her and did not let her talk about those irrelevant things. He hugged her and walked to the car door. After opening the door, he signaled for her to get in the car. Zuo Yue sat in the car and rolled down the window. She looked out and saw that Xu Chengfeng only walked around the car as if he was checking the condition of the tires. She did not say anything else. Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of two people getting out of a taxi not far away. In an instant, her eyes met the woman¡¯s. Lian Keying? Why was she here? After that night three years ago, didn¡¯t Uncle Chen get the Lian family to leave America? Back then, Lian Keying couldn¡¯t even say a word and directly followed her family out of the United States to ensure her safety. Who gave her the courage to step into the United States again? And it was such a coincidence that he appeared in Boston? Zuo Yue¡¯s guard gradually rose. Her gaze only lingered on Lian Keying for a moment before she withdrew her gaze expressionlessly. Lian Keying, who was not far away, was even more shocked than Zuo Yue when she saw Zuo Yue here. Although she was suddenly a little afraid, she was afraid that Zuo Yue would use some tricks to chase her away not long after she returned to America with her boyfriend. Three years ago, she and the Lian family were suppressed by the Zuo family. She had to return the humiliation they suffered before they left. However¡­ Lian Keying narrowed her eyes as she looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s car. She thought about how she had seen Zuo Yue and another tall man embracing each other by the car. Although she was very unhappy, when she suddenly saw Xu Chengfeng who had already gotten into the car, Lian Keying frowned. Why was it still this man? Back then, Zuo Yue was with this man, and they had not broken up after so many years? Lian Keying secretly clenched her hands into fists. When she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face clearly, she suddenly raised her eyebrows. But speaking of this man, why did she suddenly feel that he looked a little familiar? Chapter 1162 - Chapter 1162: Asking the Moon on the Wind (247) Chapter 1162: Asking the Moon on the Wind (247) Half a month later¡­ Zuo Yue sent off Xu Yuan, who had come to Boston to visit her a few days ago. She planned to return to her apartment to prepare for the various work that she would be busy with when she returned to the company in a few days. After all, she had been delayed for such a long time. If it were not for Xu Chengfeng, she probably would not have had the chance to continue her internship at King Corporation. Fortunately, her job as an intern was not too heavy, so it would be easier for her to handle the handover when she returned. Returning to the small apartment, she found a rare peace and quiet in the past two months. The house had been tidied up by her mother, and even the clothes in the wardrobe were newly bought by her mother. Zuo Yue sat in front of the computer without any distractions and asked her colleagues from the company for some internship materials that she needed to read recently. Just as she was reading seriously, she suddenly received a call from Xu Chengfeng. In the few days that her mother had been here, Xu Chengfeng had not contacted her for nearly a week. He had not even sent her a message. Zuo Yue thought that he had forgotten about her again when she was being controlled by her mother. Her mother had just left when a call came in the blink of an eye. Zuo Yue saw the number displayed on the phone and the corners of her mouth curled into a happy smile that she did not notice. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Your mother left?¡± ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°When are you coming back?¡± ¡°Did I say I was going back? Besides, the place I¡¯m living in now is my apartment. If I want to go back, I¡¯m going back to my own place.¡± ¡°The little girl is getting more and more fond of twisting logic.¡± Hearing the indulgence and indulgence in his words, Zuo Yue laughed again, but she did not laugh out loud. Anyway, even if she laughed, she would definitely not let him hear it. ¡°I have an engagement tonight and will be staying at Stella Hotel for the night. I¡¯ll go back tomorrow. If you¡¯re too lazy to leave, I¡¯ll drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning.¡± Stella Hotel? Zuo Yue was stunned. She suddenly stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the magnificent hotel opposite. She had lived here for three years. How could she not know the name of the biggest hotel in front of her house? Stella Hotel was right across from her house. Yin Ruisheng had stayed at this hotel for a while before. Xu Chengfeng deliberately told her that he was at this hotel. It was obviously a silent invitation. Zuo Yue did not fall into his trap and said nonchalantly,¡±¡±Ah, I heard that there are several Stella hotels in Boston. They should be a chain, right?¡± A woman¡¯s voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone. However, the woman was standing far away and her voice was respectful and polite. It seemed that she was saying that someone had been waiting for a long time and was asking President Xu to come over. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t hear it clearly, but Xu Chengfeng said softly over the phone,¡±¡±I¡¯m going to meet a few partners. You heartless little thing, continue to enjoy yourself at home.¡± He hung up after he finished speaking. Clearly, he was really busy. Who was the little heartless one? Back then, she was hurt so badly. Now, she had become a little heartless just because she occasionally kept a straight face and deliberately refused to express her feelings to him? Didn¡¯t his conscience hurt when he said that about her? Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at the phone that had already dimmed. She threw the phone on the bed and ignored it. .. Night fell. After reading the internship materials for a few hours, Zuo Yue got up to take a shower and boiled a glass of milk for herself. She wanted to go to bed early, but when she walked to the window and looked at the hotel opposite, she hesitated for a moment and remembered that Xu Chengfeng had called to tell her that he was in the hotel opposite. Thinking about what he had done to himself after he returned to the country, it was almost time for her revenge to end. After all, he didn¡¯t really let her down back then. It was just that her heart ached too much. It didn¡¯t hurt anymore. Since he had already sent out an invitation, she could just go over and see what he wanted to do. To put it bluntly, at most, she would be pushed down and slept with again. What was there to be afraid of? When Zuo Yue turned around to change her clothes, she suddenly recalled the reaction in her heart just now. What did he mean by being pushed down and slept with again? Was it only right for him to pounce on her? When did she start to crave it so much again? Could it be that she had returned to her silly state from three years ago? No way, no way! She paced back and forth in the room for a few more steps. Finally, she picked up her phone and called Xu Chengfeng to ask him what he was doing. However, his phone was turned off. Why would she turn off her phone when she was meeting her business partner in the hotel? Could it be that there was no electricity? She had already given up on going over and was only half-dressed. After hesitating for a while, she put on her clothes, turned around, changed her shoes, and left. It took less than ten minutes to walk from her apartment to Stella Hotel. When she reached the hotel entrance, she called Xu Chengfeng again to prevent herself from looking for him rashly and causing him any trouble. Her phone was still switched off. Zuo Yue felt that it was strange. It was impossible for her personal phone and work phone to be turned off when she was out to discuss work. She walked into the hotel lobby, but the staff stopped her from going in to look for him. Now that she could not contact Xu Chengfeng, she could only book a business suite and successfully enter the VIP elevator. However, when she asked for Xu Chengfeng¡¯s floor and room number, the staff did not tell her. She had already moved in, so she would have to find her own place. It was just a waste of time. If this staff member really adhered to work ethics, she should not let her move in if she had the ability. Zuo Yue used the VIP elevator to search floor by floor unhappily. When she reached the 15th floor of the hotel, she had just walked out of the elevator when she suddenly saw Lian Keying¡¯s figure sneaking out from a nearby hall from the corner of her eye. That sneaky step and posture made people suspicious, not to mention that the woman was Lian Keying. Moreover, Xu Chengfeng was also at this hotel tonight! Zuo Yue moved to a corner in the corridor and stood still. She avoided Lian Keying¡¯s gaze and quietly peeked out to see Lian Keying¡¯s figure walking back and forth. It was not until Lian Keying walked into a room at the side with light and sneaky steps that Zuo Yue looked at it for a while. Just as she was about to walk over, the door opened. Lian Keying walked out with a bag in her hand. As she walked, she made a phone call and walked straight to the elevator. From afar, she heard Lian Keying say into the phone,¡±¡±Where are you? Are we there yet? Didn¡¯t I tell you to arrive before 8:30? That big BOSS has already drunk the wine that was drugged. This opportunity to rise to fame is right in front of you. I even prepared sexy pajamas for you. Hurry up and sleep with that BOSS! If you miss such a good opportunity, I¡¯ll find another woman to enter his room.¡± Chapter 1163 - Chapter 1163: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (248) Chapter 1163: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (248) Zuo Yue was surprised. Sexy pajamas? What the hell? A meteoric rise? What did he mean? Who drank the wine that had something in it? She subconsciously looked at the bag in Lian Keying¡¯s hand and remembered that Lian Keying seemed to be using those strange methods three years ago. Could it be that she was going to drug someone again? Seeing Lian Keying enter the elevator, Zuo Yue saw that the elevator was going up. She turned around and walked quickly to the emergency exit. After climbing up two floors, she turned around and looked at the elevator again. She saw that the elevator stopped at the twenty-eighth floor for a while and then went down. After confirming that Lian Keying had gone to the twenty-eighth floor, Zuo Yue went to another elevator and went straight to the twenty-eighth floor. She had a premonition in her heart. Although there were not so many coincidences in this world, since Xu Chengfeng was here tonight, and even Keying was here, there must be some reason for this. Especially what Lian Keying said on the phone just now, it made Zuo Yue¡¯s entire heart hang. She was highly vigilant and suspected that the person Lian Keying wanted to target might be related to her. After all, Lian Keying had seen her near the supermarket before. She just didn¡¯t take the time to accompany Uncle Chen. Why did Lian Keying secretly return to the United States? However, the Lian family definitely couldn¡¯t continue to establish themselves in the United States, so there was indeed nothing to ask. The reason why Lian Keying had the capital to stand in this kind of hotel was probably because she had either gotten close to some CEO or used some other extraordinary means. There weren¡¯t many people on the 28th floor. It was obvious that this floor was mostly high-end business suites or presidential suites. Zuo Yue walked out of the elevator and saw Lian Keying walking quickly to the room in front. When she saw the number 2808 written on the door, she turned around and hid in the water room beside it. Lian Keying paced back and forth outside for a while before picking up her phone to look at the time. In the end, she seemed to be anxious and made another call. It sounded like it was the same person she had called before. ¡°Why isn¡¯t he here yet?¡± ¡°If he didn¡¯t come, I would have done it myself. If it weren¡¯t for my husband keeping a close eye on me recently, I would have wanted to sleep with a man like Xu Chengfeng. I¡¯m standing at the door with something waiting for you. Hurry up and come!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the medicine has already been drugged. I guarantee that when Xu Chengfeng sees you in your pajamas, he will be like a hungry wolf who hasn¡¯t had sex with a woman for hundreds of years. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that we¡¯ve had a few transactions before, I wouldn¡¯t have asked you for such a good thing! I¡¯ve already gotten someone to get the key card to his room. It¡¯s with me.¡± ¡± I¡¯m telling you, remember to aim the camera that you secretly brought in. I need photos of the crime scene. You just need to cover your vital parts and only let Xu Chengfeng show his face. I want those photos to be sent to that little b * tch Zuo. I must take revenge for kicking our Lian family out of America three years ago. I want her to fall into endless pain and let her taste the feeling of being betrayed by the man she loved for so many years¡­¡± Lian Keying smiled proudly as she turned around. However, the moment she turned around, she saw a person walking step by step from the corridor not far away. The smile on her face instantly froze. Seeing the sudden appearance of Zuo Yue walking quickly towards her, Lian Keying¡¯s eyes flashed with panic. Just as she was about to turn around and walk away, Zuo Yue quickly walked in front of her, bypassed her, and at the same time, unexpectedly slapped her hard on the face. Lian Keying was hit and staggered backward. The high heels on her feet almost caused her to fall. She turned her body sideways and barely leaned against the wall before she regained her balance. When she turned her head again, she saw the raging anger in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes and immediately smiled.¡±Hey, isn¡¯t this Miss Zuo? What brings you here?¡± ¡°Give me the room card.¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t want to say a word to her and directly stretched out her hand. Lian Keying bit her lower lip and stared at her coldly without moving. Her hand was tightly clutching the shopping bag containing her pajamas, but she did not do anything else. However, everything that was originally planned to break Zuo Yue¡¯s heart had now been bumped into by Zuo Yue herself. The plan had already failed by half, but she would definitely not let Zuo Yue feel at ease! ¡°Lian Keying, I¡¯ve known that you¡¯re full of tricks since you were a child. Three years ago, your viciousness had already impressed me. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that I couldn¡¯t stand it anymore, I wouldn¡¯t have implicated your parents. But now, you finally sneaked back to America and bumped into my gun again.¡±Zuo Yue looked at her coldly.¡± You should know that I usually don¡¯t touch you because I¡¯m too lazy to waste my time and energy on trash like you. If you dare to provoke me again, I¡¯m afraid that your entire family won¡¯t have a safe place to stay.¡±¡± ¡°Zuo Yue! Stop threatening me! Isn¡¯t it just because your Zuo family is powerful? If your surname isn¡¯t Zuo, who do you think you are!¡± Zuo Yue laughed coldly.¡± So you are. If you weren¡¯t born in the Lian family, do you think you have the right to know me?¡±¡± ¡°You!¡± ¡°Cut the crap, give me the room card!¡± Zuo Yue reached out to snatch her bag. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Lian Keying quickly stepped back, refusing to let her and Xu Chengfeng have a smooth relationship. Anyway, if she could not make things difficult for Zuo Yue today, she would write Lian Keying¡¯s name in reverse. ¡°I¡¯m warning you. There are surveillance cameras on every floor of this hotel. Everything that happens between the two of us here will be recorded. If you don¡¯t want me to call the police and ruin your reputation, give me the room card immediately!¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression was serious. Ever since she found out that Xu Chengfeng had been drugged, her heart was burning with anxiety. Although she did not believe that such a cautious man like Xu Chengfu would fall for it, she thought about the drug that Lian Keying had drugged her back then and was very cautious. However, there was still a time when she was careless. She was not afraid of ten thousand, but she was afraid of what if! Hearing that Zuo Yue was going to call the police, Lian Keying carefully took a step back and retreated to the door of Room 2808. She hesitated to see which direction she should escape in. ¡°Are you going to give it to me?¡± Zuo Yue approached, her eyes filled with coldness.¡±Give me the room card!¡± ¡°No!¡± Lian Keying was forced into a corner and immediately glared angrily at Zuo Yue, who looked extremely domineering.¡±¡±You¡¯re just a broken shoe that has been slept with by a man for a few years. You¡¯ve used such a man for so many years. Can¡¯t you give him to other women?¡± ¡°There must be a limit to how much of a retard you are!¡± Zuo Yue was already impatient. She grabbed her wrist and said,¡±¡±Give it to me quickly! Don¡¯t waste time!¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°Lian Keying! If you don¡¯t want to die, give me the room card immediately!¡±Zuo Yue was really anxious. She still did not know what was going on with Xu Chengfeng inside. Chapter 1164 - Chapter 1164: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (249) Chapter 1164: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (249) ¡°Lian Keying! If you don¡¯t want to die, give me the room card immediately!¡±Zuo Yue was really anxious. She still did not know what was going on with Xu Chengfeng inside. Lian Keying struggled backward with all her might, and Zuo Yueyi reached out to grab it. The two of them were about to tear each other apart in front of the door. ¡°Give it to me!¡± ¡°Dream on! Zuo Yue, no matter what I do in this life, I will never let you have your way! Remember this, I, Lian Keying, will remember you! I¡¯ll be entangled with you for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°Crazy!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t snatch it! Take your hands off me!¡± ¡°Give me the room card!¡± ¡°No!¡± Suddenly, the door behind Lian Keying was opened without warning. Lian Keying lost her balance and fell backward. Xu Chengfeng, who was behind the door, took a step back unhurriedly, and Lian Keying fell heavily on the carpet behind the door. Zuo Yue was about to bend down to grab it when she suddenly realized something. She raised her head and looked at Xu Chengfeng, who had suddenly opened the door. Are you alright? Xu Chengfeng calmly raised his eyebrows and looked at her who had suddenly appeared. Then, he looked at Lian Keying who was struggling to stand up from the ground and turned around to run out.¡±What happened?¡± Seeing Lian Keying run away, Zuo Yue wanted to chase after her, but since the door was already open, the room card was no longer important. She pushed Xu Chengfeng in without hesitation and closed the door at the same time. She pushed Xu Chengfeng directly against the wall and raised her head to kiss him on the lips. Xu Chengfeng was speechless. Looking down at the anxious little girl who rushed over to kiss him, a trace of hesitation flashed in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes, but he still held the back of her head and kissed her deeply. Zuo Yue kissed him for a long time and even raised her hand to tightly wrap it around his neck. For some reason, she felt like she had regained what she had lost. Fortunately, she came in time, and fortunately, Lian Keying did not succeed. Fortunately, she heard it before the big mistake was made. Otherwise, something might have happened. She felt a wave of panic in her heart. The thought of this man whom she had been trying her best to torture every day might have caused her to lose him again. She could not tell whether it was because she felt wronged or anxious, but she hugged him very tightly. Suddenly, Xu Chengfeng pinched her chin. She opened her misty eyes and their lips intertwined until he patted her shoulder gently as if to comfort her. His low and hoarse voice was close to her lips as he asked,¡±Zuo Yue, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Yue shook her head.¡± It¡¯s nothing. I should have rushed over in time.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say a word, and doubt flashed in his eyes. Zuo Yue hugged him tightly,¡±¡±Are you feeling very uncomfortable now?¡± ¡°What¡¯s uncomfortable?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Lian Keying drug the wine you drank? How much did you drink? Was it serious? Do you feel uncomfortable now? I heard Lian Keying calling some woman just now. It seems like she wants to send a strange woman over. She wants to push her into your room and take photos¡­¡± The confusion in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes cleared up in an instant. He allowed Zuo Yue to touch his body in a panic to check if there was anything unusual about him. At the same time, he turned his eyes to the two glasses of red wine that he had not touched on the table not far away. ¡°Do you want to take a cold shower or something?¡±Zuo Yue hugged him as she asked,¡± I was afraid that you would react easily to women because you were drugged. I was also afraid that you would suddenly run out, so I had no choice but to divert your attention. How are you now?¡± Shall I help you to the bathroom to wash yourself with cold water?¡± Zuo Yue said as she tried to move away from his embrace. At the same time, she was about to help him to the bathroom. As a result, the moment she moved, the strong arm behind her waist suddenly tightened. At the moment she was stunned, he took the initiative to kiss her fiercely. Zuo Yue only felt a suffocating lingering kiss. She felt dizzy. At the same time, her body was turned around and pressed against the wall. When he restrained her, he bent down and kissed her passionately. Zuo Yue was a little stunned. Was the medicinal effect too strong? She leaned against the wall helplessly and did not dare to move. She was afraid that she would provoke him even more. However, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s enthusiasm almost made her unable to resist. Although she had prepared for the worst before entering the door, if a cold shower did not work, she could only help him herself¡­ Could this also be¡­ It was too direct¡­ ¡°Cold¡­Mm¡­ Can¡¯t I take a cold shower?¡± Zuo Yue took advantage of the moment when he lowered his head and focused on unbuttoning his clothes. Her hair was messy as she leaned against the wall and asked in a low voice with a confused look in her eyes. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled into an imperceptible smile. At the same time, he cupped her small face and kissed her lips again. Then, he said hoarsely,¡±¡±Since she was drugged, how much of a problem do you think a cold shower can solve?¡± ¡°But I¡­But the drug that Lian Keying drugged me three years ago¡­Didn¡¯t you also throw me into the cold water¡­¡± ¡°Since you know how it feels to be on fire, you should feel the same way now.¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice carried a hint of a smile that she did not understand. When his voice fell by her ear, he kissed her small white ear, causing her to tremble all over. When Zuo Yue heard this, she actually did not quite remember that feeling back then, but thinking about it, she knew that it must have been very uncomfortable. Moreover, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was so fiery as if he had to do it no matter what. She still did not dare to move, but she did not resist his action of taking off her clothes. She cursed Lian Ke a few hundred times in her heart. Did that stupid woman watch too many brainless and stupid TV dramas since she was young? He only knew such shameless methods? However, in the next moment, her feet suddenly left the ground. She was so shocked that she quickly hugged Xu Chengfeng¡¯s neck. Only then did she realize that she was almost out of clothes to cover her body. In the blink of an eye, she was carried to the bed by him and pressed down heavily. The fiery and ambiguous feeling made her blush and her heart beat uncontrollably. In this situation where both of them were willing and she was extremely awake, she felt his hands igniting fire all over her body¡­ Xu Chengfeng was so passionate as if he had really been drugged while he was making waves on her body. When he was entangled with her lips again, he let go of her lips and asked softly,¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you say you weren¡¯t coming? Why are you here again?¡± Zuo Yue blinked her eyes and said honestly,¡±¡±This hotel is right opposite my house. I called you but your phone was turned off. For some reason, I felt uneasy, so I came over to take a look¡­In the end, I didn¡¯t expect to really encounter such a big thing¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng was amused by her innocent child-like tone. Zuo Yue felt that he seemed to be a little abnormal. She wanted to ask something but was suddenly sealed by his kiss. ¡°Oh¡­ Xu¡­¡± ¡°Be good, don¡¯t move around. It won¡¯t hurt so much this time¡­¡± Chapter 1165 - Chapter 1165: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (250) Chapter 1165: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (250) After a few rounds of tossing and turning, Zuo Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked,¡±¡±Were you really drugged?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only focused on enjoying her ¡± antidote ¡°. He enjoyed it very much. Although he was passionate, he was not as eager as she thought. From the beginning to the end, he gradually made her fall into it first. Seeing that he wasn¡¯t up to it, she tried her best to stay awake and push his shoulder. However, she felt him suddenly sink his waist. She instantly snorted and finally gritted her teeth to ask,¡±Were you really drugged? Why do I suddenly feel that I don¡¯t look like him? You¡­¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°Hmm what? Answer me properly. Is it true? Did you really drink that wine?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Be good, be serious.¡± Why did Zuo Yue always feel that there was something strange about that place? But before she could think about it, she was suddenly stimulated by the white light that flashed in her brain after a storm. Her entire body trembled, and she could not think of anything else¡­ .. Unknowingly, it was already the second half of the night. Zuo Yue turned over and wanted to sleep, but Xu Chengfeng still carried her into the bathroom to take a shower. She was so tired that she could not open her eyes and was too lazy to move. She closed her eyes and allowed him to help her wash up. In the end, after she was put into the bathtub, he also entered the water in the blink of an eye. When she suddenly regained her senses, the man who was ¡°drugged¡± actually went straight into the water as if he had eaten her marrow¡­He entered! .. After all this, Zuo Yue did not even have the strength to struggle in his arms. When she was finally washed clean and placed back on the bed, she closed her eyes and grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it at his face. Xu Chengfeng hugged the pillow and saw her lying on the bed with her eyes closed and throwing a tantrum. He chuckled.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Burn the bridge after crossing it? You¡¯re going to hit me with a pillow after you¡¯re done?¡± ¡°Bastard, you didn¡¯t drink that wine at all.¡±Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at him. She turned around and was about to sleep. She had only been suspicious before, but now she really came to her senses. If he had really drunk the wine that had been spiked, he would not have been so clear-headed. He was clearly lying to her. She didn¡¯t have the energy to argue with him now. She just wanted to sleep. Xu Chengfeng did not explain. He just smiled and leaned over to lie down, hugging her by her side. Zuo Yue struggled in his arms but was held down by him. His low and hoarse voice was close to her ear,¡±¡±If you move again, you won¡¯t be able to sleep tonight.¡± Zuo Yue did not dare to move anymore. She might as well just sleep like this and ignore him. Xu Chengfeng turned her body over so that she faced him and hugged her in his arms. Zuo Yue reluctantly fell asleep in his arms. ***** The next day, Zuo Yue only woke up in the afternoon. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Chengfeng had just returned to his room. It seemed that he had gone out for a meeting in the morning. He was wearing a formal suit that he usually wore in formal and serious occasions, instead of the casual suit that he often wore. Seeing him enter and casually put his suit jacket in his arms, Zuo Yue glanced in his direction, her eyes full of displeasure. Xu Chengfeng saw the look in her eyes the moment he entered the door. He immediately walked over with a faint smile.¡±You¡¯re awake?¡± Zuo Yue grabbed the pillow and threw it at his face again. Xu Chengfeng took the pillow and threw the coat on his arm casually. He leaned over and pressed it down. Zuo Yue quickly retreated in shock, but he still forced a kiss on her. He kissed her until she was dizzy and could not even lose her temper. Then, he patted her head as if he was coaxing a child.¡±Tired?¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Zuo Yue complained with a heated face. Because she was naked under the blanket, she quickly pulled up the blanket to cover herself before it slid down. At the same time, she stretched out a hand to push him away.¡±Go away, I have something to ask you.¡± Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s rare serious expression, Xu Chengfeng only smiled lightly. It was broad daylight, and seeing her so shy, he did not force her anymore. He retreated a little, but he did not stay too far away. Zuo Yue gradually felt that her heart was extremely calm as he approached her. She did not have the shyness and anger that she had originally imagined. On the contrary¡­ She felt that the knot in her heart had inexplicably disappeared. It should have disappeared a long time ago, but she stubbornly wanted to torture him again. Otherwise, she would be sorry for all the grievances and sadness she had suffered in the past three years. ¡°What do you want to ask?¡± Xu Chengfeng sat by the bed. As he spoke, his hand had already reached into the blanket. When she glared at him, he did not do anything. He just caressed her naked waist and hugged her so that she leaned into his embrace. Zuo Yue wrapped herself in the blanket and leaned into his embrace. She did not move. She thought about what happened yesterday and said,¡±Why was Lian Keying here last night?¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed to have expected her to ask about this. He gently patted her back, as if to comfort her, but also as if it was a silent ambiguity, as if to show that their relationship was so close that there was no need to treat each other as strangers. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t make a sound. She just looked up at him. ¡± I¡¯ve already investigated this morning, and you¡¯ve already launched your revenge on the Lian family three years ago?¡± ¡°Yes, she used such a clumsy method three years ago. I felt that it was too much, so I asked Uncle Chen for help and got her family to leave. However, I didn¡¯t do it too ruthlessly. I just made sure that their family couldn¡¯t have a foothold in the American business world from now on. If their family still wanted to continue doing business and didn¡¯t want to starve to death, they could only leave the United States and find another way out in other countries.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly.¡± The little girl has learned to be cruel, but she still has a little soft-heartedness.¡±¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t want to kill her. If I had known that she would do this again three years later, I would have been more decisive back then.¡±Zuo Yue gritted her teeth as she said this. If Xu Chengfeng had really drunk the drugged wine last night, if she had not dared to come over, and if something had really happened with another woman, she would have wanted to kill Lian Keying. ¡°You really didn¡¯t drink that wine last night?¡± she suddenly asked. Did you already guess it back then? Or are you already on guard?¡± ¡°Not long ago, that woman with the surname Lian hooked up with Lauren. Lauren is one of the few partners I have with me. Yesterday, I happened to see her figure in the hotel. I didn¡¯t pay much attention to it at the time. When I went to investigate this morning, I found out that she is now Lauren¡¯s bed partner. I tried my best to beg him to bring her here, but my goal was actually you and me.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was calm. When he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zuo Yue.¡±She really does everything she can to you.¡± Chapter 1166 - Chapter 1166: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (251) Chapter 1166: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (251) ¡°Yeah, I also admire her for targeting me every day for the past ten years. When she was young, she targeted me because she was ignorant. When she grew up, she targeted me because she had the habit of bullying me. Later on, she always said that I was the young lady of the Zuo family. Speaking of which, it was probably because of jealousy, all kinds of imbalance, and all kinds of petty thoughts that she shouldn¡¯t have. After accumulating for too many years, she had the habit of hating me.¡± Zuo Yue said as she curled her lips helplessly,¡±¡±Fortunately, nothing happened. Three years ago, it was fortunate that you were there. Three years later, it was fortunate that I was there. I guess I have to thank her for helping me time and time again.¡±Xu Chengfeng laughed.¡± ¡°What else can I do? Since she¡¯s your partner¡¯s woman, you must have a way to get rid of her. I don¡¯t have to interfere anymore.¡±Zuo Yue leaned her head into his arms as she spoke, lazily enjoying this moment of peace. She closed her eyes and asked,¡±¡±You haven¡¯t answered my question just now. Why didn¡¯t you drink the wine she asked someone to send over?¡± ¡± Last night, I didn¡¯t really pay much attention to the things in the wine. However, an old friend happened to be in this hotel and coincidentally gave me a bottle of very good red wine. As a matter of course, I drank the bottle that my old friend gave me. As for the two glasses that the hotel gave me, I didn¡¯t have time to touch them before you suddenly appeared.¡± She recalled the scene where she rushed in last night and kissed Xu Chengfeng in fear of him losing control. She recalled his surprise and how he froze when he was pushed against the wall and forced to kiss her. She suddenly felt awkward and was about to retreat from his arms, but Xu Chengfeng was still hugging her.¡±Are you hungry?¡± ¡°A little.¡± Zuo Yue rubbed her stomach under the blanket. After being tormented for so long last night and sleeping until the afternoon, it would be strange if he wasn¡¯t hungry. ¡°Go wash up and put on your clothes. I¡¯ll accompany you to eat.¡± ¡°Are you free this afternoon? Do you have time to accompany me?¡± Zuo Yue glanced at him. Xu Chengfeng smiled.¡± Not only do I have time to accompany you, but if you want to continue what you didn¡¯t enjoy last night, I can accompany you to the end.¡±¡± Zuo Yue immediately reached out and pushed him hard.¡±¡±Go away! You¡¯re the president of the mighty GN Group, and you have the cheek to say it so openly!¡± However, Xu Chengfeng held her tightly in his arms and pressed her against the bed. Zuo Yue was so scared that she pushed him away.¡±Don¡¯t! I¡¯m exhausted. I¡¯m going to eat¡­¡± In the end, Xu Chengfeng kissed her lovingly on the lips twice and said in a clear voice,¡±¡±Between us, sooner or later, we will be open and aboveboard.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned. She did not expect him to lead the topic in another direction, but her heart was instantly filled with warmth. She looked at him for a long time without saying a word until Xu Chengfeng helped her sit up. Then, he patted her little head and said softly,¡±¡±Go wash up and tidy up. I¡¯m going out to talk to them about something. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue sat on the bed and nodded as she tugged at the blanket. Her voice was low and shallow like a little wife who had been doted on for the entire night. Xu Chengfeng was in a good mood as he turned around and went out. Zuo Yue was in a daze on the bed for a long time before she quickly got up and ran into the bathroom. She did not need to look at the marks on his body to know. When she saw those ambiguous marks, she recalled how passionate Xu Chengfeng was last night. She could not be blamed for not immediately realizing that he was faking it, because his enthusiasm at that time was no different from being drugged¡­Anyway, that was what she thought¡­ ***** After she was done cleaning up and changing her clothes, Xu Chengfeng seemed to have come back on time. When he saw that she was done cleaning up, he took her hand and accompanied her downstairs to eat. There was no special breakfast in the hotel at this time, but Xu Chengfeng seemed to have ordered a few simple western dishes for her in advance. Zuo Yue was sitting at the dining table on the first floor, drinking light milk coffee while eating the steak that he had cut for her. Zuo Yue was eating when she suddenly noticed a few figures not far away. She saw Lian Keying following a foreign man with red eyes as if she was explaining something, but the foreign man coldly signaled for someone to send her out. Seeing this scene, Zuo Yue chewed on her steak and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she called out softly,¡±Xu Chengfeng.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Xu Chengfeng was reading an English magazine when he heard her voice. Zuo Yue put down the fork in her hand and hooked her finger at him, as if she had something to say. Xu Chengfeng saw her little action and looked at her for a moment. He did not say anything. It was impossible to tell from his eyes if he had noticed her little thoughts. He only looked at her for a few seconds before he followed her thoughts and leaned over to her. Just then, Lian Keying was about to walk past the entrance of the restaurant when her gaze suddenly drifted in their direction. Zuo Yue took advantage of her gaze and pouted her pink lips to give Xu Chengfeng a passionate kiss on the cheek. Xu Chengfeng paused for a moment. At the same time, he looked at Lian Keying, who had turned around and left with a look of unwillingness in her eyes. He quietly sat back down. After Lian Keying was chased away, Zuo Yue continued to eat her steak as if nothing had happened. Xu Chengfeng picked up the English magazine again and suddenly said,¡±¡±What a child¡¯s mentality.¡± Zuo Yue immediately looked at him.¡± You clearly know that I¡¯m a child. I deliberately used you and made others unhappy. Didn¡¯t you still take the initiative to cooperate with me?¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± Do you want to accompany you to the streets to show your affection?¡±¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not really that childish.¡±Zuo Yue mumbled as she chewed on her steak,¡±¡±Lian Keying is an exception. She has never liked me since she was young. She just doesn¡¯t want me to live better than her. Now, the happier I am, the more miserable she is. This is more unbearable than any punishment.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hit her last night?¡± ¡°.. Did you hear that?¡± Xu Chengfeng snorted and casually flipped through a page of the magazine.¡±¡±It seems that I have a little tigress by my side with sharp claws.¡± Zuo Yue picked up the coffee and took a sip. Then, she raised her hand and looked at her sharp nails. She remembered how she had grabbed his back time and time again last night when she was defeated by him. She suddenly said,¡±Does your back hurt?¡± As she spoke, she raised her hands into the shape of tiger claws and gave him a provocative smile. Xu Chengfeng looked at her actions and immediately threw down the magazine in his hand. He stood up and was about to carry her back to her room. When Zuo Yue saw this, she was so frightened that she quickly picked up her knife and fork and started to cut the steak. As she cut, she said,¡±¡±Don¡¯t, don¡¯t, don¡¯t. I¡¯m not full yet.¡± Chapter 1167 - Chapter 1167: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (252) Chapter 1167: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (252) Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly.¡± What a coincidence. I¡¯m not full either.¡±¡± Zuo Yue could hear the hidden meaning in his words. Initially, he was just provoking her, but now, her face instantly turned red to her ears. ¡°You eat first. When you¡¯re full, we¡¯ll go back to our room to continue.¡±Xu Chengfeng sat back down with a calm expression. He picked up the magazine as if he had just said that he was going back to his room to continue talking about work. Zuo Yue forcefully swallowed the beef in her mouth and silently lowered her head to drink her coffee. She felt that he might be serious, so she immediately muttered in a wronged voice,¡±¡±So tired.¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± ¡°Last night, you¡­So long¡­Can¡¯t you let me rest today?¡±Zuo Yue still had an aggrieved expression on her face. Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while before saying with an unchanged expression,¡±¡±I¡¯ll go back to my room and supervise you. What do you think I¡¯m doing?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue gripped the knife and fork in her hand tightly, as if she could not bear to poke it directly into his eyes that were obviously flickering with a despicable light. ***** At night. Zuo Yue suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at the man lying beside her. He was still at the hotel during the day yesterday, but after he was done with his work at night, he asked Ainte and his other subordinates to go back first. In the name of sending her back to her apartment, he suddenly occupied her apartment and slept here for two consecutive nights. In this apartment, even if she wanted to touch a little wine, he would give her a lukewarm glance, let alone hide some wine and cigarettes. It was obvious that he would never let her touch it again. The life she had been used to in the past three years seemed to have been changed in an instant. Although it was indeed enjoyable to be controlled by Xu Chengfeng, she had been drinking a little almost every day for the past three years. In the past, she could not sleep if she did not drink. Now, she seemed to be a little addicted. She had not drunk much recently when she was recuperating. She was really slanderous. While he was asleep, Zuo Yue slowly withdrew from his embrace. She lifted the blanket and got up carefully. Just as she was about to pick up the nightdress on the ground, her waist suddenly tightened and she was pulled back to the bed. In the blink of an eye, she was firmly pressed back to the bed by the man¡¯s arm. Zuo Yue turned around in shock, but Xu Chengfeng did not even open his eyes. He just hugged her and pressed her down. His voice was close to her ear, gentle and threatening.¡±Sleep, don¡¯t run around.¡± ¡°I want to go to the toilet¡­¡± ¡°You just went there twenty minutes ago.¡± ¡°.. Were you really asleep just now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡± If I really fell asleep, you would still know that I¡¯m 20 points¡­¡± ¡°Be good and sleep.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t sleep¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at the pitch-black room in grievance.¡±¡±I might have to drink some wine to sleep¡­¡± She had thought that Xu Chengfeng would allow her to drink a little on account of her insomnia. However, before he could let go of her, she felt the man beside her suddenly lean over and press down on her. He had already made love to her fiercely before he fell asleep. He was so tired that she had only woken up after taking a two-hour nap. Was he going to do it again? ¡°Hey, you¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at him in shock. ¡°Looks like I didn¡¯t tire you out.¡± Xu Chengfeng stared at her in the dark night.¡±¡±Insomniac?¡± ¡°..¡± ¡°There are many ways to solve your insomnia. Which one do you like?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been three consecutive days, and I¡¯ve only slept for two hours. You should at least let me have a good rest¡­¡± ¡°I thought you couldn¡¯t sleep? I only slept for two hours just now. It seems that I have to fight for a night to let you sleep well.¡±The man¡¯s voice was near her ear, and his warm breath lingered in her ear. His hands seemed to really start messing around with her again. Zuo Yue was so scared that she quickly pushed him away.¡± No, no, I¡¯ll sleep, alright?¡± I¡¯m exhausted¡­ Moreover¡­¡± ¡°And what?¡± ¡± Besides, if you keep going like this, will you get pregnant?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a while, then smiled and patted her little head.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t I wear the box you bought last time? If she could get pregnant with this 0.1% chance, then she would give birth. After all, they were not related by blood, so there was nothing wrong with giving birth.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue immediately glared at him angrily, but she did not care too much about the question of whether she was really pregnant.¡±Did I buy that? It was clearly you who forced me to say that I bought it. I didn¡¯t even notice at that time¡­¡± ¡°After all, I¡¯ve used my ¡®Royal¡¯ and ¡®Bai¡¯.¡± Alright, that one sentence cut off all the explanations and complaints from her mouth. Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡±¡±I didn¡¯t realize you were so coquettish in the past. It seems that usually cold men are basically coquettish.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not take her sarcasm seriously.¡±¡±Sleep or drink? Or do something else?¡± ¡°Sleep¡­¡± Zuo Yue pushed his chest again. When he was no longer restraining her, she flipped over and lay down beside him. She pulled the blanket over herself and turned around to close her eyes. Xu Chengfeng hugged her and kissed the back of her neck. His clear and hoarse voice whispered behind her ear,¡±¡±Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild and you won¡¯t lose sleep.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to face him.¡± Xu Chengfeng, are we in love now?¡±¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her.¡± ¡°Then should I call you Xu Chengfeng from now on? Or should I call you Ken like that woman? Or¡­ In front of outsiders, should I still call you uncle?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze was a little subtle when she mentioned the words ¡®little uncle¡¯. Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and gently stroked her head. His slender fingers gently ran through her hair.¡±It doesn¡¯t matter how I address you. As long as it¡¯s someone you like, I¡¯ll stop at little uncle¡­¡± He paused.¡± Don¡¯t be too affectionate when you address me with three words in the future. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to control myself.¡±¡± ¡°..¡± No wonder when the two of them were doing something in the first half of the night, she called him uncle in a daze. In the end, he almost killed her when he heard it! It was so passionate that it made her feel like she was going to heaven! So these three words were a sensitive point for him now? That was why, when their relationship had not changed so openly, when she called him uncle, he¡­ Zuo Yue suddenly looked at him on purpose.¡± Didn¡¯t I call you that three years ago?¡± Why were you so calm three years ago¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed to be really sleepy. He hugged her and closed his eyes. He said calmly,¡±¡±He just looks calm.¡± Chapter 1168 - Chapter 1168: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (253) Chapter 1168: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (253) Zuo Yue burst into laughter. Suddenly, she felt that the honest Xu Chengfeng seemed to have a cute contrast. Initially, she wanted to taunt him, but she did not expect him to almost be unable to hold it in three years ago. However, at the end of the day, he was still rational. In the end, he could not really do whatever he wanted. In the end, he did not want to destroy her. But now, he had no qualms because they were no longer related by blood. So, was Xu Chengfeng completely letting himself go with her now? Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that his breathing was stable. He seemed to have fallen asleep. Zuo Yue gave up on getting out of bed to secretly look for wine to drink. She allowed him to hug her while she slept. In the dark night, she quietly looked at his sleeping face. She quietly looked at this face that she could not forget even after three years. After looking at him for a while, she couldn¡¯t help but raise her hand and gently caress his eyebrows. After caressing for a while, she couldn¡¯t help but touch his tall neck and finally gently landed on his lips. Recalling what he had said just now, she leaned her face against his chin. Knowing that he was asleep, she whispered to herself in his arms,¡±¡±What I wanted to say was, what if I really got pregnant? After all, it had not reached the point where they could be honest and aboveboard. There were still many things that had not been resolved at the Xu Corporation¡­When can I tell my mother that the person I love is still you, but you¡¯re no longer my uncle, but the man I love the most¡­¡± The sleeping man did not move, but he suddenly tilted his head slightly and planted a gentle kiss on her hair.¡±Very soon.¡± Zuo Yue paused and suddenly looked up.¡± ¡°I fell asleep, but you woke me up.¡± Xu Chengfeng laughed hoarsely and held her little hand that was still touching his body.¡±¡±Be obedient and sleep. If you continue to touch me like this, I really won¡¯t let you off.¡± As expected, Zuo Yue did not move. Instead, she buried her head in his neck with a red face.¡±How long did you ask someone to help me apply for leave from the public? Do I still have a long vacation? However, I¡¯m preparing for graduation soon. I might have more than two months of free time. After that, I¡¯ll be busy for a long time.¡± ¡°You still have a month of sick leave.¡±Xu Chengfeng patted her head gently.¡±¡±Your leg needs to be healed. Where do you want to go?¡± ¡°.. She wanted to say that she wanted to go to the Alps for the next two years, but since her leg injury was not suitable, it seemed that if she really wanted to go out for a walk, she could only go to some leisurely places¡­I really don¡¯t know where to go for a while, but it¡¯s such a wonderful holiday. I don¡¯t have to go to the company or school. It¡¯s really boring to lock myself in the apartment all day, but do you have time to go out with me?¡± Xu Chengfeng thought about it and said softly,¡± I¡¯m going to China to attend a business summit next week. If you want to go, I can bring you there. But you have to promise not to wander around.¡±¡± ¡°Going to China again? Are you going to A City?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not far from A City. You want to see your brother?¡± Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± I don¡¯t really want to see him. However, my brother and sister-in-law have been divorced for almost three years. Seeing that sister-in-law is going to graduate in half a year, if I can really go to A City, I really plan to visit him, a divorced young man who has lost his footing¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at her in the darkness.¡±¡±Zuo Hancheng is a divorced young man? How could I be so good at it? Zuo Yue burst into laughter and hugged his neck. She said coquettishly,¡±¡±You¡¯re a beast that slept with your niece, a beast that lost its footing.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s voice was low and gentle as he whispered in her ear. Suddenly, he flipped over and pressed her down heavily. Zuo Yue was shocked by his sudden determination and straightforwardness. She asked in panic,¡±¡±What are you doing? Aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡± ¡°I have to do something beast-like to live up to the word ¡®beast¡¯. Otherwise, I¡¯m worse than a beast.¡± ¡°..¡± .. It was a miserable night. .. When Zuo Yue woke up the next day, she still felt that she had really committed a great crime last night. The next morning, when Xu Chengfeng calmly put on his clothes and went out, she lay in bed for a long time without getting up. In the end, she slept until noon before she managed to get up. However, her back and legs were still sore, and she even found it extremely difficult to go to the bathroom to take a shower or brush her teeth. Fortunately, Xu Chengfeng knew to ask the hotel to send her some food. After she was full, she still had no strength, so she went back to her room and fell asleep again. She slept until it was dark. In the few days that she had officially gotten back together with Xu Chengfeng, she had really been living a life of night and day. She slept during the day and was tired at night. However, Xu Chengfeng was as energetic as a cheetah at night. He did not look dispirited at all during the day. Instead, he looked so energetic that she suspected that he was not a normal human. Wasn¡¯t he tired? At night, Xu Chengfeng could not come back early because he had a social engagement. Zuo Yue wanted to catch up on sleep. It was only when she was woken up by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s kiss at 10 pm that she opened her eyes in a daze and asked,¡±¡±You¡¯re back so late. Why don¡¯t you go take a shower and rest? Why are you kissing me?¡± Xu Chengfeng simply carried her out from under the blanket.¡±¡±Let¡¯s shower together.¡± Zuo Yue woke up in an instant and struggled in his arms.¡±¡±Don¡¯t! I had my period this afternoon!¡± ¡°..¡±Xu Chengfeng stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with suspicion. When he turned around to turn on the bedroom light, Zuo Yue buried her head in his shoulder because she could not adapt to the light for a while. After a long time, she looked up and said,¡±I¡¯m serious. I might have had surgery and injections after my injury, which affected my physical condition recently. That¡¯s why my period isn¡¯t as stable as usual. It¡¯s actually a week early¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. After he placed her back on the bed, his hand felt something soft under her pants. Then, he turned around and went to take a shower alone with a pale face. Zuo Yue covered her mouth and laughed as she sat on the bed when she saw that he had been given such a cold shoulder. This afternoon, because of her period, she was relieved. She could use her period as an excuse to rest for at least five days. During these five days, he could not do anything to her. She got up and walked out. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng had just taken off his coat, she leaned over and asked with a smug look,¡±¡±Why didn¡¯t you drink when you went out to socialize tonight? There¡¯s no smell of alcohol on you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a social gathering. It¡¯s just to settle some things in advance for tomorrow.¡±Xu Chengfeng casually unbuttoned the exquisite buttons on his sleeves. When he turned around, he saw her smug look as if she was protected by her period. He turned his head and went into the bathroom with a dark expression. Chapter 1169 - Chapter 1169: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (254) Chapter 1169: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (254) Early the next morning, Zuo Yue thought that Xu Chengfeng would wake up according to his biological clock and go out to do his work as usual. In the end, she slept until she was almost thirty in the morning. When she turned over, she suddenly felt a warm chest. She suddenly opened her eyes and was shocked to see Xu Chengfeng, who should be in some company building at this time, lying lazily on the bed in a black silk robe. He was holding a tablet in his hand and seemed to be reading some meeting materials. He was distracted by her actions and turned to look at her. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± Zuo Yue quickly sat up and turned around to look at the time on her phone.¡±¡±It¡¯s almost noon!¡± ¡°Last night, I¡¯ve dealt with most of the things that I wanted to settle today.¡±Xu Chengfeng put down the tablet in his hand and grabbed her into his arms.¡±¡±I¡¯ll accompany you to the hospital today to check on the recovery of your leg injury. If the doctor says that there¡¯s no problem, I¡¯ll let you go with me to China in a few days.¡± Initially, Zuo Yue¡¯s face had instantly turned pale when she heard that he was going to the hospital. It was because going to the hospital for a check-up would inevitably cause her to suffer from all kinds of pressure and other pain. However, when she heard that he was going to China, Zuo Yue instantly became energetic again. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go wash up!¡± She immediately retreated from his embrace and was so happy that she almost jumped up. She turned around and got off the bed, dashing towards the bathroom. Judging from the speed at which she ran out, her legs were probably almost fully recovered. Xu Chengfeng sighed and smiled as he picked up the tablet beside the bed. Not long after, Zuo Yue heard Xu Chengfeng walking out of the bedroom while brushing her teeth. She quickly brushed her teeth and stuck her head out to say vaguely,¡±¡±Before we go to China, can I go to my sister-in-law¡¯s school to take a look? I have to bring some of my sister-in-law¡¯s recent situation over to my brother to see. It¡¯s also convenient for me to ask for credit from him. If he gives me something good when he¡¯s happy, then I¡¯ll be killing several birds with one stone!¡± ¡± First, you must ensure that the doctor will allow you to travel long distances after you arrive at the hospital. Everything else can be discussed.¡± ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be any problems.¡± Zuo Yue lowered her head and looked at her legs again. It seemed that other than some running and jumping movements that made him feel uncomfortable occasionally, he didn¡¯t feel much at other times. Or perhaps he had gotten used to walking lightly in the past two months, so he was used to it now. Zuo Yue did not say anything else. After washing up, she happily went to eat. Her mental state was as good as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. It was as if all the haze that had been on her for the past three years had disappeared in an instant. While eating, Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡±¡±How many days is your period?¡± ¡°.. Eh?¡± Zuo Yue had just taken a bite of the toast and almost coughed. She quickly covered her chest and swallowed the toast in her mouth. Then, she looked up and glared at Xu Chengfeng, who seemed to be asking a common question. Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. He did not think that there was anything wrong with his question. Zuo Yue could only calmly reply,¡±¡±About five days¡­¡± After saying that, she lowered her head and drank her milk and nibbled on her toast. For a moment, she even forgot to apply jam. After getting the answer, Xu Chengfeng took a sip of his coffee without batting an eyelid. It was obvious that he understood, but he did not say much. This man¡­ He was really black-bellied to the extreme. If that was the case, it would be impossible for her to use her period to trick him in the future, because he would remember the time of her period. But on second thought, Zuo Yue suddenly said,¡±¡±But my period isn¡¯t very accurate these two months. Perhaps there will be some changes.¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°Hurry up and eat,¡± Xu Chengfeng said lightly.¡± Zuo Yue lowered her head and continued to eat her toast. As she ate, she would look up at him from time to time. She saw that Xu Chengfeng was just drinking his coffee calmly. He did not have as many messy emotions as her. She could not help but calm down. She could not always be influenced by him. ***** After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor did not stop Zuo Yue from going overseas for a vacation. He only reminded her not to run too violently, not to strain her legs, and to walk steadily. Zuo Yue was jumping for joy when she turned around and was dragged to the gynecology department by Xu Chengfeng for a check-up. This was the first time in her life that she had been to a gynecology department. The reason was that her period was not punctual. The results of the check-up showed that it was indeed because of the previous surgery and the various drugs she had used during her hospitalization. It caused changes in various aspects of her body and her hormones, causing her menstrual cycle to be unstable. However, it did not affect her health. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, Xu Chengfeng finally allowed her to leave the hospital. In the past, he had always been lukewarm to her. Now, he was really not used to being so meticulous to her. Zuo Yue followed Xu Chengfeng out of the hospital and was about to get into the car. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the figure across the road from the corner of her eye. The person across the road also stood there in surprise when he saw Zuo Yue. ¡°Hi, Sister-in-law!¡± Zuo Yue smiled calmly at Gu Anhao, who she had just bumped into. Xu Chengfeng had already gotten into the car. He glanced at Zuo Yue from the car because of her voice. At the same time, he looked at the young girl with a ponytail across the road. Gu Anhao obviously did not expect to meet Zuo Yue here. After all, Zuo Yue had not appeared in front of her for the past few years. Zuo Yue knew how surprised Gu Anhao was at this moment. However, seeing that Xu Chengfeng did not seem to want to waste time here with unfamiliar people, Zuo Yue only greeted Gu Anhao and found a random excuse to get into the car and urge Xu Chengfeng to leave in case Gu Anhao felt awkward and her sister-in-law found out that she had been secretly spying on her for the past few years. Gu Anhao was left standing by the roadside, looking at the direction that the car had left in puzzlement. She seemed to have seen this car on the roadside before, but she couldn¡¯t remember where it was. But why was Zuo Yue in Boston? Who was the man in the car? Zuo Yue¡¯s boyfriend? Zuo Yue sat in the car and looked through the rearview mirror at the figure that was gradually getting further and further away. She smiled and said,¡±¡±If it was a few years ago, I would never have thought that a man like my brother would fall into the hands of a little girl like Gu Anhao.¡± Xu Chengfeng did not look outside and only said in a half-sarcastic tone,¡±¡±It looks like you¡¯re not much older than her. You¡¯re both children who haven¡¯t grown up yet. If she¡¯s a little girl, aren¡¯t you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± She¡¯s only a year older than me, but we get along quite well. If she hadn¡¯t divorced my brother, I would definitely have hung out with her for the past few years. Unfortunately, I could only avoid her because of my brother.¡±¡± Chapter 1170 - Chapter 1170: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (255) Chapter 1170: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (255) Xu Chengfeng glanced at the time as he drove and said casually,¡±¡±If Zuo Hancheng really had feelings for that young lady, he would not have gotten a divorce so easily if it was not a violation of his principles.¡±Zuo Yue turned to look at him. You and my brother aren¡¯t particularly close, right? After all, he only knows that you¡¯re our uncle, but he doesn¡¯t seem to have much interaction with you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with him. I¡¯ve only seen him a few times.¡± ¡°A man¡¯s intuition?¡± Zuo Yue laughed,¡±Men also have a sixth sense?¡±¡± However, what he said was true. Her brother really did not divorce Sis-in-law completely. It seemed that he had only given Sis-in-law a divorce agreement back then. Not many people knew about this. She had only managed to get information from Mobai on the phone a few times. To the public, they were really divorced, but it did not have any legal significance, so it was not considered a divorce. After all, Sister-in-law was still her Sister-in-law. It was just that Gu Anhao did not know that she had been trapped by Zuo Hancheng all along. When it came to being two-faced, she had always thought that if Zuo Hancheng dared to say that he was the most cunning, no one in this world would dare to say that he was the second. After all, he had agreed to the divorce, but he had deliberately relied on his sister-in-law¡¯s blind spot in the law and her usual careless personality to not really divorce her. But now, she suddenly felt that Xu Chengfeng and her brother, Zuo Hancheng, were definitely the same type of people. They were all terrifyingly black-bellied. ***** China, S City. Zuo Yue opened the door and saw two bodyguards dressed in black standing outside. They had polite expressions on their faces, but they still refused her request to go out for a walk. Ever since she landed in S City yesterday and stayed in the hotel for a night, she had not been able to walk out of the room. Xu Chengfeng indeed had something to do. It seemed that it was a very serious occasion that she could not participate in. She was too lazy to participate in those serious occasions, so she originally planned to rest in the hotel for a while before going out for a walk. In the end, he was stopped by the two bodyguards Xu Chengfeng had left behind. It was said that China was too close to Russia, and many people who had a grudge against Xu Chengfeng¡¯s forces would find them here at any time. In order to ensure her safety, she was not allowed to go out alone. Zuo Yue suddenly felt that she could choose anyone else, but she had to choose someone as complicated as Xu Chengfeng! It wasn¡¯t easy for him to come to China again, but he couldn¡¯t go out shopping! Did it fly from the birdcage in America to the birdcage in China? After flying for more than ten hours to China, she still couldn¡¯t go out to play. Could it be that her purpose in coming to China was to open the window here to breathe in the smog? Zuo Yue turned around angrily and paced back and forth in the room. Half an hour later, she opened the door again and saw that the two bodyguards were still standing outside. However, it just so happened that Ainte had arrived. He had just passed by the door. When Zuo Yue saw Ainte, she quickly called him over as if she had seen her savior. ¡°Can you ask these two bodyguards to leave?¡±Zuo Yue whispered to Ainte. Ayt glanced at the bodyguard.¡±What¡¯s wrong? Did they offend you?¡± ¡°They won¡¯t let me out¡­¡± ¡°Of course I can¡¯t let you go out.¡± Ayt rolled his eyes at her and whispered,¡±¡±Boss has been clearing his name in recent years. There are many forces in Russia trying to track him down while he is clearing his name. There are many forces in Russia in China. Although he can guarantee that he will not be easily threatened by those little bastards, he is worried that you will be implicated.¡± Xu Chengfeng had indeed said before that he would never let her get hurt again unless he died. This sentence inexplicably circled in her mind, and Zuo Yue instantly gave up on going out alone. She could not give him any more trouble. She pursed her lips.¡± But I want to see my brother. S City is very close to A City. My brother¡­¡± ¡°An hour ago, Boss called Mr. Zuo personally. Mr. Zuo knows that you are in S City now and said that he will find time to come and see you tonight or tomorrow morning.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was instantly soothed. She nodded.¡±Alright then.¡± Since Xu Chengfeng had already made the arrangements, even Zuo Hancheng, who was difficult to invite, had come to S City from A City in person. Who knew if he was giving her face or giving Xu Chengfeng face? However, Zuo Yue still obediently returned to her room and did not open the door to torture the two bodyguards. However, she was alone in her room, facing a luxurious meal delivered by the hotel and a bottle of high-end red wine. No matter how she looked at it, the feeling of eating and drinking was extremely decadent. Zuo Yue sat on the sofa and sipped red wine as she recalled Ainte¡¯s words. Whitewash? Did Ainte deliberately reveal this to her? Or did he accidentally spill the beans? Was Xu Chengfeng leaving the underworld? She seemed to have heard that the underworld was a place where it was easy to enter but difficult to leave. If one did not leave smoothly, it was easy to lose their reputation or even die miserably. If Xu Chengfeng wanted to leave those forces now, he would probably have to pay a high price. Why didn¡¯t he tell her? Although she was very young back then, she had heard about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s incident in the United States from her grandfather and parents. There was probably no one in this world who could leave as easily and smoothly as Zuo Hancheng. What should he do? Suddenly, she was so worried¡­ .. The sky was getting dark. Xu Chengfeng returned to his room and smelled the smell of wine. When he walked in, he saw that there was a small bottle of red wine on the coffee table in front of Zuo Yue. She was curled up on the sofa with a thin blanket covering her, sleeping soundly. When Ainte saw this scene and Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze swept over him, he immediately said awkwardly,¡±¡±I¡¯m sorry, Boss. We thought that Miss Zuo wouldn¡¯t drink so much, so when the hotel staff sent the food over, I didn¡¯t stop them when I saw red wine. I didn¡¯t expect Miss Zuo to like drinking so much¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face was cold as he asked him to go out first. Ainte rubbed his nose and had no choice but to leave. After the door closed, Xu Chengfeng walked over and looked at the little girl who had been restrained by him for a long time without a drop of wine. It was not easy for her to get a chance to drink a few mouthfuls, but she actually drank so much. He really didn¡¯t let her worry at all. Xu Chengfeng sighed and walked over after taking off his jacket. He picked up the blanket on her and put it aside. He bent down to pick her up and was about to carry her back to bed to sleep. Zuo Yue instinctively leaned her head into his arms the moment he carried her. She smacked her lips and smiled with her red face. She mumbled,¡±¡±Uncle¡­Hehe¡­Let me tell you guys. I slept with him¡­He¡­ It¡¯s, it¡¯s that¡­Xu Chengfeng¡­I gave him¡­ She was asleep¡­Hehe¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face instantly darkened as he threw the girl onto the bed without any pity. Chapter 1171 - Chapter 1171: Encountering the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1171: Encountering the Wind and Asking the Moon ¡°Who slept with who? You¡¯re really capable of twisting black and white just because you¡¯re drinking.¡±Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue, who was lying on the bed with her limbs spread out. He turned around with a dark face and walked back to the sofa. He tugged at the collar of his shirt and looked at the remaining red wine on the coffee table. He really sighed at how much this girl would have let herself go if she wasn¡¯t bound by him. It seemed that no one had dared to control her in the past three years. Even Xu Yuan had failed to look after her. He hadn¡¯t even bothered about her smoking and drinking the last time, but now he was thinking of rebelling. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t believe me¡­I really¡­ I really gave him¡­She was asleep¡­Hehe¡­¡± Zuo Yue turned over and buried her face in the pillow, muttering in a muffled voice. Xu Chengfeng looked back at her, who was emphasizing her words repeatedly. He raised his hand and stroked the space between his eyebrows. He turned around to help her cover herself with the blanket and was about to take a shower when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number on the caller ID and calmly picked up his phone and walked out. ***** When she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s face, Zuo Yue thought that she was still in a dream. She tossed and turned in bed for a long time before she suddenly sat up. She raised her hand and grabbed her hair. She looked at Zuo Hancheng, who was sitting by the bed with an indifferent expression, and said,¡±When did you arrive?¡± Zuo Hancheng did not comment as he looked at her dazed expression.¡±Half an hour ago.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you call me in advance when you came? I was still asleep.¡±As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and got out of bed. She turned to the bathroom and quickly washed her face and brushed her hair. She then combed her hair and quickly tidied herself up before walking out. She saw that Zuo Hancheng was still sitting in his original position, but he had obviously seen her underwear hanging in the closet in the room, so he turned to look at her without batting an eyelid. Although he was her biological brother, it was extremely awkward for her to not wear anything under her nightgown. Zuo Yue grabbed a set of clothes and put them on before running over to close the cabinet door. At the same time, she said guiltily,¡±Don¡¯t look around!¡± Zuo Hancheng really did not have any extra thoughts about the little girl¡¯s awkward thoughts. After all, they were biological siblings. When they were young, he even helped her change her diapers. Now that he saw Zuo Yue learn to blush, he realized that this little girl had indeed grown up. When she realized that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s gaze was fixed on her, she did not know what he was thinking. Zuo Yue lowered her head and saw that nothing could be seen from her body after she put on her coat. She turned to look at him calmly.¡±What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Do you usually dress like this in front of Xu Chengfeng?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue almost choked on her saliva. Afraid that he would misunderstand, she quickly explained,¡±¡±So what? It wasn¡¯t like she wasn¡¯t wearing any clothes. She shouldn¡¯t be wearing underwear when she slept. Wearing underwear would affect her sleep health.¡± Zuo Hancheng raised his eyebrows, but he did not say anything. After looking at her for a moment, he did not say anything. He did not mention that Xu Chengfeng had walked out of this room when he came. He didn¡¯t say that he had investigated before coming here. Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng were staying in the same room. A twenty-two-year-old girl and a hot-blooded man. The girl was not shy about dressing like this. Some things were obvious. However, Zuo Hancheng did not directly expose her secretive emotions. He only said,¡±¡±Go and get dressed. I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°W-What are you talking about¡­¡± Zuo Yue was a little afraid of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s eyes, which seemed to see through everything. However, his eyes were always unreal. She did not know if he had noticed something or if he was going to lecture her like his mother. Zuo Hancheng ignored her guilty look and stood up to leave.¡±¡±What else could it be? If it wasn¡¯t for Gu Anhao, do you think I would have taken the time to come to S City to watch you sleep?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Brother, do you have to be so straightforward? I¡¯m your biological sister, alright?¡± Even if Gu Anhao is a treasure, I¡¯m still your biological sister. Don¡¯t be so straightforward, okay?¡± Zuo Hancheng snorted and looked back at her with a lukewarm gaze.¡±¡±I can be even more straightforward. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to take it when the time comes. Stop talking nonsense and quickly change your clothes.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure had already left in a flash. Zuo Yue stood beside the wardrobe, fuming. However, Zuo Hancheng was her brother after all. In her eyes, the situation was similar to her mother¡¯s. Even if he might have noticed something, she was not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood. If Zuo Hancheng really wanted to ask her later, she could just tell her brother the truth first. After all, if something really happened to the Xu family, it would be easier to get Zuo Hancheng to help. Having made up her mind, Zuo Yue quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the room. She saw Zuo Hancheng standing in front of the window at the end of the corridor outside the door. His tall and slender figure cast a long shadow on the ground. Her brother was always such a silent but unapproachable man. Ever since Gu Anhao went to the United States, her brother seemed to be more indifferent and quiet than before. Zuo Yue walked over and stood behind him.¡±¡±Brother, I heard from Mobai that you have been suffering from insomnia for the past few years. Have you seen a doctor?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. He¡¯s just exaggerating.¡± Zuo Hancheng glanced at her indifferently.¡± She did not know if what Mobai said was true, but judging from Zuo Hancheng¡¯s mental state, he was not particularly bad, but he was not particularly energetic either. She guessed that he was a little tired after coming all night from A City, or perhaps he really had insomnia for a long time. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect a man like you to be such a sentimental person. You really make me look at you in a new light.¡±Zuo Yue laughed as she spoke,¡±But little sister-in-law¡­¡± I¡¯m talking about Gu Anhao. Don¡¯t you know everything about her in America? There were a few times when I secretly went to see her, and I noticed that there were a few of your people from the United States nearby. Although it was just a quick glance, I¡¯m sure that you¡¯ve arranged for someone to guard her for the past two years. After all, she¡¯s unfamiliar with Boston and is still young and impetuous. You¡¯re afraid that she¡¯ll cause trouble, so you¡¯ve been protecting her, right?¡± Zuo Hancheng didn¡¯t answer, but he didn¡¯t retort either. He looked out of the window indifferently and said after a while,¡±¡±She¡¯s about to graduate.¡± Zuo Yue calculated the time.¡± Almost. She should graduate in about half a year, but she¡¯s already interning at a good company.¡±¡± ¡°Go back and get someone to give her a set of clothes. Consider it my graduation gift to her. You don¡¯t have to mention my name.¡±Zuo Hancheng said. Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes.¡± Alright, you¡¯ve been like this for the past few years. You¡¯re clearly so concerned about her that you¡¯re just short of saying goodnight to the sunrise. Yet, you still hide behind her and refuse to show yourself. I really admire you.¡±¡± Chapter 1172 - Chapter 1172: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (257) Chapter 1172: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (257) In the end, Zuo Hancheng did not explain much to her. He only came to see her and told her about Gu Anhao. However, he left without even having time to have a meal with her because of Mobai¡¯s call. It seemed like he had something to attend to in City A. Zuo Yue was worried because she thought about Gu Anhao¡¯s matter. She had been helping Gu Anhao silently and had to hide the fact that her brother had interfered. It was really tiring. Her brain was about to burst. Not long after Zuo Hancheng left, Xu Chengfeng returned to the hotel. Zuo Yue was in the room looking for the remaining half of the bottle of wine that she had drunk last night. In the blink of an eye, she saw Xu Chengfeng return. She immediately thought of the reason why her wine had gone missing and did not dare to ask him. She could only suppress the regret of the half-empty bottle of red wine in her heart. She was even more regretful that she did not finish it last night. What a pity. Such delicious red wine. ¡°What are you looking for?¡± Xu Chengfeng asked. She could tell that he was asking her a question, so Zuo Yue turned around and pretended to say calmly,¡±¡±I¡¯m not looking for anything. I was bored and just walked around the room. Oh right, my brother left not long after he came in this morning.¡± ¡°I have.¡± Xu Chengfeng walked towards her. After all, she slept after drinking wine last night. She did not know if he would come back to settle the score with her. Zuo Yue grinned and said guiltily,¡±Don¡¯t you have something to do? I¡¯m fine staying alone in the hotel. Although I can¡¯t go out alone, I can watch TV and surf the Internet.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be busy for a few days. I¡¯ll take some time to accompany you in two days. Where do you want to go?¡±Xu Chengfeng pulled her back from the French window and threw her a glance as he held her in his arms. It was obvious that he was unhappy with her drinking last night, but a warning glance was enough. He did not want to argue with her too much, lest the little girl was unhappy again. ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve only been to China a few times, but it seems like I¡¯ve always come and gone in a hurry.¡±As Zuo Yue spoke, she raised her finger and gently tapped her forehead. Then, she said with an expression of inspiration,¡±¡±Why don¡¯t we go north? Do you want to see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall?¡± ¡°..¡±Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face turned black. ¡°Also, let¡¯s go look at the Yangtze River and the Yellow River? Look at all kinds of Chinese symbols? Let me see what else is there¡­Also¡­¡± ¡°Vulgar.¡± One word instantly shattered the fantasy bubbles in her mind. Zuo Yue immediately gave him a sideways glance.¡± Although I¡¯m an American, I¡¯m still a Chinese descendant, alright?¡± The sedan chair I¡¯m driving is a Chinese sedan chair, but I haven¡¯t even seen so many iconic and memorable ones in China. How is this vulgar?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about the Yangtze River and Yellow River. You don¡¯t have time to run to so many places. Moreover, your legs are still recuperating. You can¡¯t run around like this.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the Forbidden City! How is it?¡± Zuo Yue said excitedly. ¡°Are you interested in these ancient royal buildings in China?¡± Xu Chengfeng seemed very helpless.¡± ¡°Yes, those foreigners who travel to China will definitely go to the Forbidden City to take a look. Why can¡¯t I, a Chinese person wearing a foreigner¡¯s vest, go and take a look?¡± Of course, when she said these words, Zuo Yue did not know that going to the places she mentioned was not to relax and see the scenery, but to see the back of the heads of various people. Xu Chengfeng did not dampen her excitement and allowed her to go to the Forbidden City for a walk. However, she would only be able to find time to go there in two days. Beijing. Zuo Yue jumped up excitedly in front of him after he agreed. Xu Chengfeng hugged her, afraid that her legs would not be able to take it when she landed, so the two of them fell on the bed together. Zuo Yue happily turned over and pressed on him, holding his face and kissing him a few times. She felt that she might not be able to sleep for the next two nights because of her excitement. Xu Chengfeng, who had been feeling helpless because he wanted to accompany her to see the back of a group of people¡¯s heads, saw her excitement. In the end, he let her do whatever she wanted to him. .. A man like Xu Chengfeng was the typical type of man who said he didn¡¯t want it, but his body was very honest. He had clearly said that he did not have time to accompany her to see the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but after a few days of busy work, he officially started to accompany her to visit China. From the Forbidden City to the Great Wall, from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, he accompanied her to all the places she wanted to go in a week. In the end, Zuo Yue was so tired that she lay in the hotel like a dead dog and refused to leave. She even lamented, why are there so many Chinese people? Why did she have to queue for so long for all the classics she wanted to go to? Why is there a crowd of people everywhere? Zuo Yue was resting in the hotel. She expected to return to the United States in a few days. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she vaguely heard Xu Chengfeng¡¯s phone ringing. She turned around. Xu Chengfeng, who was also resting with her in the hotel, got up and went out to answer the phone. She did not know what the call was about, but Zuo Yue was really about to fall asleep. When she heard that he had returned after answering the call, she did not seem to be sleepy anymore. Instead, she sat by the bed and looked at her. She opened her eyes in a daze.¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her. No one knew what he was thinking, but he did not answer. Zuo Yue reached out to hold his hand. At the same time, his hand was held in his palm. She smiled sweetly and curled up into a ball under the blanket. She leaned her head against his hand and rubbed it coquettishly. She said softly,¡±I¡¯ve been walking around for the past two days. You¡¯ve accompanied me for so long and even helped me carry my things.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his hand and caressed her soft hair gently. He did not answer her question but asked softly,¡±¡±Zuo Yue, do you want to go to Russia?¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Zuo Yue was almost coaxed to sleep by her own soft voice. When she heard his words, she opened her eyes and looked up at him in confusion and surprise.¡±Russia?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, implying that she was right. ¡°Aren¡¯t we going back to America? Why are you suddenly going to Russia?¡± She was instantly energized. ¡°I have some things to deal with at the last minute, but I¡¯m more inclined to send someone to send you back to the United States first. However, your temper is getting worse and worse. After thinking about it, I decided to ask about your plans first before making a decision for you, so that you won¡¯t feel wronged again later.¡±As Xu Chengfeng spoke, his eyes darkened, as if there was really something very serious that needed him to go back. However, Zuo Yue could tell that he did not seem to want her to go over, but he did not want her to misunderstand. She leaned against his hand and thought for a long time before saying,¡±If I want to go with you, will it cause any trouble for you? Or will it drag you down?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± ¡°Oh, then go!¡± Chapter 1173 - Chapter 1173: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (258) Chapter 1173: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (258) At the Russian border. Zuo Yue slept soundly in the car. When she opened her eyes, she sat up and looked outside. She saw that the streets of the foreign border were really different from what she had imagined. This place looked like a village on the Russian border, but it should be a village very close to the city. The black off-road vehicle slowly drove along a long street. What surprised Zuo Yue was that when the vendors who were doing business obediently saw the car passing by, they saw the model and license plate number. Almost everyone put down the things in their hands in an instant and walked out of their stalls to pay tribute to the car. Somehow, Zuo Yue had a feeling that Xu Chengfeng was like an emperor in this place, respected by everyone. She turned to look at Xu Chengfeng and saw that he was also looking outside, but he had no intention of getting out of the car. There was no extra emotion in his calm gaze. Ainte was not a chauffeur today. Sitting at the back, he noticed that Zuo Yue was looking around curiously and shaking her head like a rattle-drum. He couldn¡¯t help but smile and cough lightly, indicating that Zuo Yue shouldn¡¯t be so surprised. Zuo Yue turned around and glanced at Ainte. Ainte gave her a calm look. Zuo Yue had no choice but to continue looking outside. She realized that all the vendors on this street seemed to be Chinese. There were not many Russians among them. However, this place was also like an isolated zone, a feeling that was divided by the Russian border. When those people looked in the direction of the car, their eyes were mostly filled with respect, smiles, admiration, gratitude, and a very excited feeling. She didn¡¯t know how to describe it. It was not until the car drove out of this long street that the speed of the car increased. As a result, just as they left the street, about a few hundred meters away, two gunshots suddenly sounded in the direction of the street. Zuo Yue heard it and sat upright in the car. She turned around in surprise to look at the street where there did not seem to be many people running back and forth. Then, she looked at Ainte with a normal expression. Didn¡¯t you hear the gunshot?¡± Zuo Yue asked. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her through the rearview mirror because of Zuo Yue¡¯s words. Ainte raised his hand to his mouth and cleared his throat. He realized that since Boss brought Zuo Yue here, he did not seem to have any intention of hiding anything from her.¡±Miss Zuo, this is the most chaotic place on the Russian border. Most of the people who came here illegally from China were bullied and suppressed by the Russian underworld because of drug trafficking or various illegal businesses. These people gradually formed a chaotic atmosphere here. Later on, it was because Boss brought the power behind him to clean up this place. The management here became more and more orderly and turned it into a commercial street. Otherwise, you would only see all kinds of chaotic gunfights and corpses when you passed through here.¡± ¡°Those people are now a small branch of the BOSS, but some people still have bad habits. In a place like this, it¡¯s not strange to hear gunshots every day. It would be strange if it¡¯s too quiet.¡±Ainte glanced behind him.¡±It looks like there was only a disagreement between a few people. There shouldn¡¯t be a murder. Otherwise, the warning lights set up on the streets would light up and our people would know immediately.¡± Did that mean that all the shops and vendors on that street were under Xu Chengfeng¡¯s jurisdiction? Zuo Yue had never known about the underworld. The Zuo family did not allow people to be involved in the underworld, so she had never been involved with anyone in this area. Now, she sat in the car and looked at the gradually widening road around her. Then, she looked at Xu Chengfeng, who was looking at her calmly through the rearview mirror. Their eyes met through the rearview mirror. Zuo Yue did not see any extra emotions in his eyes, but since he brought her back here and let her see everything about him in Russia, she could feel his honesty. This was already a huge leap for her. Zuo Yue suddenly smiled at him.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s handsome eyebrows moved slightly and he finally said,¡±¡±As long as you are obedient and don¡¯t run around alone, you will be fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Miss Zuo, don¡¯t worry. Most of the people at the border are Boss¡¯s men. This is Boss ¡®territory. Even if someone wants to invade, they have to ask our men for their guns.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly realized that the kid, usually acted around Xu Chengfeng like a very serious bodyguard or personal subordinate. After returning to Russia, he became more active, as if he had finally returned to his own territory, without so many restrictions and discomfort. Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng again. She saw that Xu Chengfeng had not changed much. He still looked so calm and indifferent, as if he had never been happy. However, it was indeed because she was gradually getting to know him better. He had been watching her through the rearview mirror. Zuo Yue smiled at him again when their eyes met.¡±¡±Then, I promise to run around. I won¡¯t come out of such a dangerous place even if you ask me to. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to get the man I want. I don¡¯t want to die so early.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. Ainte and the driver immediately burst out laughing, but they did not dare to laugh too loudly. Then, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold gaze swept over them, and the two of them immediately pursed their lips and did not say anything. The black high-end SUV drove on the highway for less than an hour. The view changed from the wide surroundings of the highway to a green tourist resort. There was a clean and wide road with various European-style buildings and villas on both sides. Further ahead was a clear lake surrounded by some white buildings. Pigeons flew back and forth around the buildings, giving people a very enjoyable feeling as soon as they stepped into it. The car stopped in front of a five-story European-style building in front of Qingshui Lake. Ainte got out of the car first and then turned around to open the door for Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue saw that Xu Chengfeng had also gotten off the car, so she followed him obediently. When she got out of the car, she felt that the air here was particularly good. It was actually a holy place for lung cleansing. She looked around and found that this place did not have the feeling of being watched and looked up by everyone like the street just now. However, there were many men who looked like tough men who walked over quickly. They greeted Xu Chengfeng in Russian. Their words were half intimate and half respectful. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng seemed to have something to tell them after getting off the car, Zuo Yue did not go over to cause trouble. Instead, she turned to Ainte, who had been guarding her, and asked him,¡±¡±This is such a good place. Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s all your BOSS ¡®territory?¡± Chapter 1174 - Chapter 1174: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (259) Chapter 1174: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (259) ¡± It¡¯s a piece of land invested by the GN Group at the Russian border, but Boss¡¯s original intention was not to sell it to the public, but to keep it for his own use. Most of the people who can stay here are his own people, so when Boss goes out to work these days, Miss Zuo, you can only move around here and can¡¯t leave this area. This is the only way we can guarantee your safety.¡±¡± ¡°What will happen if we really walk out? Would he step on a landmine if he walked out?¡±Zuo Yue deliberately exaggerated and asked in a low voice. Ainte¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± That¡¯s not the case. This isn¡¯t Vietnam or Cambodia. It¡¯s not like you¡¯ll step on a landmine just by taking a few steps. However, recently, the Boss has been isolated by some forces here because he¡¯s preparing to clear his name. They¡¯re trying to pull the Boss into the water. The situation is dangerous. The Boss and we are fully prepared to deal with this, but we didn¡¯t expect you to be brought here. So, as long as Miss Zuo is safe, the Boss will be fine.¡± ¡°But Miss Zuo, don¡¯t think too much about it. Since Boss brought you back, he must have made ample preparations to protect you. He really treats you as one of his own, so he won¡¯t hide anything from you anymore. You just need to eat and sleep well here.¡± ¡°Yeah, a holiday amidst all kinds of gunshots.¡±Zuo Yue smiled faintly and turned around. Seeing that Xu Chengfeng was still talking to those people, she glanced at the building in front of her.¡±Are we going to stay here?¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t where we should stay. Don¡¯t you see the lake over there? The white three-story villa on the artificial island in the middle of the lake is where the BOSS lives. You will also be staying there for the time being.¡± Zuo Yue looked over there. She never thought that it would be a villa on the island in the middle of the lake. It was so high-class! She was staring at it in shock when Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and looked at her, saying,¡±¡±Ainte, send Zuo Yue to rest first.¡±At the same time, he looked at the left moon and said,¡± I¡¯ll be back in the dark. Don¡¯t run around, okay?¡±¡± His eyes were calm as if he did not intend to show off his love in front of everyone, but the doting tone in his voice made the men beside him look in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction in surprise. His gaze was as if they had discovered that their BOSS had finally brought back the woman he liked after the flowers had bloomed on a tree. Zuo Yue blushed under the scrutinizing gazes of those men, but Ainte was laughing behind her. She turned around and quickly left with Ainte. On the way to the villa in the middle of the lake, Zuo Yue was still looking around. After Ainte looked at her for a while, he seemed to understand something and could not help but ask with a smile,¡±Miss Zuo, are you looking for a woman?¡± Having her thoughts exposed, Zuo Yue immediately looked at him seriously.¡±¡±Don¡¯t you have any women here? I haven¡¯t seen any other woman since I got out of the car.¡± Ait chuckled.¡± It¡¯s too troublesome to have women around a person of this status. It¡¯s cumbersome and troublesome. Even if a man has normal needs, he won¡¯t bring a woman here unless it¡¯s really his own wife. However, those women usually don¡¯t come out and stay at home to take care of their husbands and raise their children. Not all of our people live here. This is the BOSS¡¯s place, and ordinary people are not allowed to come in.¡± ¡°And¡­ The BOSS has never been close to women. In the past, a bunch of us thought that the BOSS was not interested in women, so we were especially wary of the BOSS. We were afraid that one day, we would accidentally be doted on by the BOSS.¡±¡±So you don¡¯t have to think about finding any suspicious woman related to Boss here. There¡¯s none here.¡±¡± ¡°There aren¡¯t even any women among the servants?¡±Zuo Yue was surprised. ¡°There are a few servants, but they are all well-behaved. Even if there are a few young girls who secretly like Boss, it is normal. However, Boss doesn¡¯t have any thoughts.¡±Ainte pointed at the villa in the middle of the lake.¡±This is the safest place. If you don¡¯t want to stay on the island in the middle of the lake, you can ask them to take you there by boat. However, you know this large area.¡± Zuo Yue nodded and did not say anything else. When they arrived at the villa in the middle of the lake, a young Russian girl who looked like she was born and raised in Russia walked out. The girl looked about the same age as Zuo Yue. She was wearing ordinary casual clothes, and her actions were very natural as if she had lived here for a long time. However, when she saw Zuo Yue walk in and saw Ainte asking politely and respectfully beside Zuo Yue, she instantly raised all kinds of defenses and doubts as she stared at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue stopped in her tracks. Ainte suddenly felt that his words just now seemed to have been slapped in the face. He rubbed his nose and stood behind Zuo Yue, saying softly,¡±This is Shasha. No one is allowed to enter Boss ¡®place. Shasha¡¯s mother used to work here as a maid for more than ten years. Shasha has lived here with her mother since she was very young. It has been almost ten years. This is her home. She is not a maid, but she is almost one. In short¡­She is one of the few young girls who dares to like Boss¡­¡± Ainte felt a little guilty when he said these words. Zuo Yue curled her lips because he had revealed so much information to her. She turned to Ainte and gave him an appreciative look.¡±Is there anything more explosive?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Ainte was stunned by her excited gaze. ¡°Other than being liked by a girl, is there any more explosive gossip?¡± ¡°.. It¡¯s gone.¡± ¡± Shasha is a nice person,¡± Ainte said,¡± but she grew up by Boss ¡®side. Besides, Boss never had any women around him, so she always held on to hope. Now that you¡¯ve appeared, she should be able to restrain her passion for Boss. But she¡¯s not a bad person. You just have to know your limits. I don¡¯t want the two of you to fight.¡±¡± ¡°A person¡¯s good or bad is not determined by their personality, but by what kind of means they will use when facing their real competitors, whether they are fair or despicable. Since you¡¯ve made it so clear, I know how to deal with them.¡±Zuo Yue said with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s right. Shasha has been with Boss for so many years and she hasn¡¯t had any sparks with him, so you don¡¯t have to think too much.¡± Zuo Yue quietly turned around and looked at the Russian girl who was still standing there staring at her. She smiled at her. Chapter 1175 - Chapter 1175: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (260) Chapter 1175: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (260) Ainte turned around and went to the servants in the villa to explain the situation. He also introduced Zuo Yue to them. He introduced her as the fianc¨¦e of the BOSS, which gave Zuo Yue a solid standing. Zuo Yue was still a little dazed when she heard the word ¡®fianc¨¦e.¡¯ However, although Ainte¡¯s personality was sometimes strict and sometimes active, if Xu Chengfeng had not instructed him to do so, Ainte would definitely not have made such a decision in private. Obviously, this was Xu Chengfeng¡¯s intention. But, fianc¨¦e? Zuo Yue¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. No matter when she would be able to be together with him openly in all places and stand by his side openly as his fianc¨¦e, she believed what he said that time. Soon, she would definitely be able to achieve her long-cherished wish. ¡°Miss Zuo.¡± After the servants in the villa heard Ainte¡¯s introduction, they turned around and bowed respectfully to Zuo Yue. Then, they led her upstairs to choose a room she liked. Before Ainte left, he called Shasha out, who was standing not far away. He would probably warn Shasha. After all, there were rules here. Zuo Yue did not want to participate. If no one came to provoke her, she would be more happy. ¡°Miss Zuo, this room has sunlight on both sides of the window. If Miss Zuo likes sunlight, you should like this room.¡±The servant brought Zuo Yue to a bedroom in the middle of the third floor. When she pushed open the door, she saw the sunlight shining on the floor. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and breathed in the warm scent in the room. Although it was her first time here, she knew that this place belonged to Xu Chengfeng, so she felt very comfortable. Even her breathing felt like she was getting closer to the real Xu Chengfeng. ¡°This one then.¡± Zuo Yue walked in. Not long after, the servants brought over all the daily necessities that she needed and helped her arrange them one by one. They also helped her change the bed that looked brand new and clean into a light pink color that looked a little girly. Not long after, they even brought a bottle and a bouquet of flowers that looked like they had just been picked and placed them in front of her window. Zuo Yue sat by the bed and watched as the servants busied themselves. She got up and walked to another window to look out. There was no trace of Xu Chengfeng here. She could only see the beautiful scenery by the lake. It was clearly a dangerous area, but it was refreshing. Had Xu Chengfeng been living here for the past three years when he left the United States? Had he ever thought of her here? ¡°Miss Zuo, Mr. Xu will probably be back before dark. What would you like to eat? We¡¯ll go prepare dinner for you and Mr. Xu.¡± ¡°Whatever. I¡¯ll eat whatever he usually eats here.¡±Zuo Yue turned around and said with a smile. The servant glanced at her, nodded, and turned to leave. Zuo Yue felt bored after standing in the room for a while. She turned around and opened the door to look outside. She saw two maids at the end of the corridor. When they saw her coming out, they instinctively looked in her direction and asked respectfully,¡±Miss Xu, do you have any instructions?¡± ¡°Uh, no. When I looked at my phone just now, I realized that there was no internet¡­¡± The servant came over with a look of understanding. After smiling respectfully at her, she reached out her hand to ask Zuo Yue to give her phone to them first. Zuo Yue took out her phone and handed it over in confusion. The servant took it and opened a strange webpage on the phone. Zuo Yue did not see what she typed on it clearly, but after a few minutes, the phone connected to the Internet. ¡°This¡­ Isn¡¯t this an ordinary wireless internet cafe?¡± She looked at the network connection symbol and said in surprise. ¡°I forgot to tell Miss Zuo that Mr. Xu¡¯s identity is unusual. This is the Russian border. All of us can¡¯t connect to the outside world¡¯s network in this area. Otherwise, it¡¯s easy to find the GPS location and be hacked and tracked by the enemy. Therefore, we have our own network system here. You can go online normally, but you have to use our network system to access it to ensure the safety of the network.¡± ¡°So magical?¡± Zuo Yue held her phone and casually searched for something on it. She found that she could indeed go online normally, but the symbol that connected the network was something she had never seen before. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s subordinates actually had such high-tech people? A built-in network system? It was too amazing! Zuo Yue looked like she was exploring something new and interesting. She held her phone and turned around to return to her room. The servant saw her curious look and smiled. She turned around and retreated to the stairs. After playing with her phone in her room for a while, Zuo Yue suddenly thought of something. No wonder if Xu Chengfeng really wanted to disappear completely in front of someone, that person would find it difficult to find him no matter what. His identity was unusual, and he had so many extraordinary means. In the past three years, she really could not find any traces of him. This was a man who could leave whenever he wanted. Thinking back to the three years she spent investigating him like crazy, she couldn¡¯t find anything. Other than his identity as the CEO of the GN Group, other than those related matters that could be made public, no one could easily find out about anything else. Zuo Yue held her phone as she leaned against the bed and sighed at how difficult it was for her to live those three years. If she had known that he was enjoying the peace given by nature in those three years, she would have flown over to his lair and forced herself on him! .. ¡°Miss Zuo, that¡¯s an internal satellite signal device, you can¡¯t touch it with your hands.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, there¡¯s an automatic detonation system down there. Don¡¯t press the password.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, Mr. Xu¡¯s golf club is over there. The one in your hand is a replica. There¡¯s a high-tech escape device designed inside. Please be careful¡­¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, you can enter and exit the manor on the left side of the villa at will. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t take the path under the flower garden on the right.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s head was about to explode the entire afternoon. She turned her head and looked at the flower garden on the right.¡±Detonate, detonate, detonate! Why are there so many detonation systems? Is your BOSS living here to enjoy himself or is he planning to bury a bunch of mines around him to commit suicide?¡± The servant smiled.¡± Miss Zuo, this is Boss¡¯s internal base. Although it¡¯s suitable for living, if an enemy comes in and something goes out of control, this place will have to be completely destroyed. Therefore, there are detonation systems everywhere. As long as you don¡¯t touch anything and don¡¯t try to crack anything with a password lock, you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Chapter 1176 - Chapter 1176: Asking the Moon on the Wind (261) Chapter 1176: Asking the Moon on the Wind (261) Zuo Yue¡¯s lips twitched.¡± She turned around and was about to walk back to the main entrance of the villa from the flowerbed when she suddenly saw Shasha, who had been called away by Ainte, return. The moment Shasha saw Zuo Yue, her eyes were filled with a lot of emotions. Although she seemed to be a little hostile towards Zuo Yue, it was obvious that she had been warned by Ainte. She did not dare to go too far, so she only glanced at Zuo Yue. She did not greet her or bow like the other servants. She walked in quickly without any expression. Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Shasha¡¯s back. Xu Chengfeng was a man of his words. He said that he would be back before dark. As expected, he returned to the villa before the sky turned completely dark. At that time, Zuo Yue was sitting on the sofa in the hall on the first floor and chatting with the servants. The servants here could speak English, but they never revealed too much in their words. They would only answer her questions within the normal range because she was Xu Chengfeng¡¯s fianc¨¦e. Shasha had been hiding in the servant¡¯s room for the whole day. Whenever she came out, she would walk in front of Zuo Yue with a cold face. It seemed that she was afraid that she would quarrel with Zuo Yue when she could not help it, so she did not dare to come out. Xu Chengfeng had just entered the door when Zuo Yue glanced at him. He stopped in his tracks and walked over after a moment. He did not care that there was a servant beside him. He gently stroked her hair and said softly,¡±Are you used to being here for the past few hours?¡± ¡°I¡¯m used to it, but I¡¯ve never enjoyed the treatment of having so many servants around me in the Zuo family.¡±Zuo Yue pursed her lips.¡± This place looks low-key, but it actually feels like a palace.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng sighed and smiled.¡± It¡¯s because I haven¡¯t been back recently, so there are more servants here to take care of things. Usually, when I come back, there are only two servants left to clean up. If you¡¯re not used to it, I¡¯ll let them leave first so that you won¡¯t feel uncomfortable.¡±¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned around and placed her hands on the back of the sofa. She placed her chin on the back of her hands and looked up at him.¡±Is this your secret base? In such a big place, can¡¯t those people who are eyeing you covetously find you?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly, and his fingers gently brushed across her eyebrows. He said softly,¡±¡±Even if you can find it, you can¡¯t enter.¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect a man like you to have such a paradise¡­¡± She tilted her head and sighed.¡± But there are too many things that can¡¯t be touched here. I have to observe if there are any strange chips on the cup even when I drink water, in case I accidentally detonate something.¡± Xu Chengfeng could tell that she was complaining, so he patted her shoulder.¡±¡±What are you daydreaming about? Which room did you choose?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the room on the third floor with the best sunlight. I even found out in the afternoon that your bedroom is right next to mine. I can even choose the room closest to you.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly laughed as she spoke,¡±¡±Also, what¡¯s with the fianc¨¦e?¡± Xu Chengfeng patted her head lightly.¡±Don¡¯t act like you¡¯ve gotten a bargain. Go back to your room and talk.¡± ¡°No, I think it¡¯s good to show off our love here.¡±Zuo Yue tilted her head and winked at him with all kinds of malicious intentions. Xu Chengfeng was slightly stunned by her sudden abnormal expression. At the same time, he heard the sound of footsteps not far away. Shasha came out of the room to see him because she knew that the BOSS was back. When their eyes met, Shasha saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand gently placed on Zuo Yue¡¯s head as if he was protecting a treasure in the world. Zuo Yue was also acting coquettishly as if she was saying something to the BOSS. Shasha¡¯s eyes darkened immediately. She lowered her head and greeted him respectfully in Russian before standing there. She heard Shasha deliberately greeting her in a language that Zuo Yue could not understand. However, Zuo Yue had learned a little for Xu Chengfeng, so she could understand such a simple greeting. She just continued to stare at Xu Chengfeng without batting an eyelid. Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her.¡±¡±Did Ainte tell you something?¡± ¡°Do you want to know what Ainte told me?¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Yue giggled. Are you feeling guilty?¡± As she spoke, she stole a glance at Shasha, who looked a little disappointed.¡±Other than this one, there should be many socialites from rich families in Russia who like you, right? If you hide me here now and don¡¯t let me wander around, I won¡¯t even have the chance to discover the existence of those women.¡± Xu Chengfeng laughed.¡± There¡¯s no woman at all. What¡¯s the point of looking for one?¡±¡± ¡°Then who is this?¡± Zuo Yue deliberately put on a jealous expression.¡±¡±And he¡¯s keeping it by his side.¡± Xu Chengfeng lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment. Zuo Yue originally wanted to joke around, but when she saw him looking at her like this and not saying anything, she thought that she was deliberately acting jealous to make him angry? She was about to say something when Xu Chengfeng suddenly scooped her up from the sofa with his long arms. She jumped in shock and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. He carried her horizontally and turned to walk towards the stairs. The few servants around them consciously avoided their eyes. There were also a few whose faces turned red at once, and they secretly looked over as if their young girl¡¯s heart had been aroused. Before Zuo Yue could see the expression of the girl called Shasha, she had already been carried upstairs. ¡°Hey, there were so many people just now¡­¡± Although Zuo Yue was complaining, she couldn¡¯t hide the smile on her face. Xu Chengfeng glanced at her.¡± If I don¡¯t clean up your little vinegar jar first, I¡¯m afraid the whole villa will smell sour.¡±¡± As he spoke, his long legs had already arrived at the door of her room. He kicked the door open and carried her in directly. Then, he pressed her directly onto the bed. Zuo Yue saw the passion in his eyes and quickly raised her hand to push away his hands that were starting to do something wrong on her body.¡±It¡¯s not dark yet! I haven¡¯t eaten dinner yet! What are you doing¡­¡± Loyalty to the system. Xu Chengfeng kissed her ear with a matter-of-fact expression. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t bite me!¡± Zuo Yue suddenly reached out to push his face away.¡±¡±Annoying, it hurts!¡± Xu Chengfeng rolled away from her and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and asked her softly,¡±¡±If I really have a woman, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t have the chance to see me in America in your lifetime. Just stay here and treat it as a holiday. After I deal with the matters here, I¡¯ll immediately return to America and go straight to the Xu family.¡± Zuo Yue raised her head in his arms and changed to a position where she was half-lying on his chest. She said in surprise,¡±¡±Are you planning to tell them about your background after you return to the United States?¡± Chapter 1177 - Chapter 1177: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1177: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Xu Chengfeng chuckled.¡± I have to make you a full-fledged official as soon as possible before you get seduced by another man.¡±¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched.¡± Indeed, it¡¯s impossible for a man to not have a sense of danger. Look, if you hadn¡¯t discovered that there were so many men chasing me around, you would probably still be putting on airs with me every day.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng only smiled and did not say anything. He rubbed her head with his hand, and then the smile in his eyes faded. He said calmly,¡±¡±The situation in Russia has been at the forefront recently. I might not be able to accompany you all the time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I saw that Shasha obviously likes you, but she¡¯s still holding back because she doesn¡¯t dare to offend us. I find it very interesting. I¡¯ll take a walk here every day and play some palace tricks with Shasha from the TV series. I¡¯ll definitely live a good life.¡± ¡°Palace scheming?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled and patted her on the head.¡±¡±You just went to the Forbidden City not long ago and haven¡¯t come back to your senses yet?¡± Zuo Yue turned around and buried her face in his arms as she snickered.¡±Anyway, I¡¯ll find some fun on my own. You don¡¯t have to take care of me. Even if you don¡¯t come back every day, I won¡¯t have anything to do with you.¡± ¡°But I can¡¯t bear to.¡± Xu Chengfeng planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.¡±¡±I¡¯ll try my best to come back and accompany you, but I¡¯m not sure how long I can buy.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly looked up at him.¡± After a moment of silence, Xu Chengfeng said calmly,¡±¡±The initial estimate was within half a month. However, from the looks of it now, it is likely that it will take at least two months. If you are not used to it, I can send you back in advance¡­¡± ¡°I can adapt! He was fine! Even if I don¡¯t go back to the United States soon, it doesn¡¯t matter if my mother finds any clues. Anyway, when we go back to the United States, we¡¯ll have to lay our cards on the table, right?¡±Zuo Yue grinned at him.¡± You just said that you wanted me to become a full-time employee as soon as possible!¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled and gently tapped the tip of her nose.¡±¡±Little girl, you don¡¯t want to suffer any losses. How did I fall in love with you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Who knows when you fell for me, but you kept pretending not to respond to me, making me sad for so long. In the end, you settled me not long after you returned to the United States.¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï Zuo Yue said as she poked his chest with her hand.¡±¡±My revenge is not over yet!¡± Suddenly, the world spun before her eyes. Xu Chengfeng pressed her down again and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. Then, he whispered in her ear in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±After you¡¯re done with this, you can take revenge however you want.¡± ***** ¡°Bang!¡± The cutlery in front of her was placed heavily on the dining table. Zuo Yue looked up at Shasha, who turned around and left after putting down the cutlery, and the corner of her mouth twitched. She really couldn¡¯t stay calm. Didn¡¯t Ainte already warn Shasha not to be too ostentatious in front of her? In the end, every day when she came to serve her with the servants, she would either break things or smash things. In short, it was very noisy. Zuo Yue looked nonchalant as she rested her chin on one hand and sat at the dining table, watching Shasha busy herself. Fortunately, the food she usually ate was not made by Shasha, or else she would have been afraid of being poisoned. Originally, she wanted to take advantage of her boredom to have a battle of wits and courage with this Russian girl for fun. However, over the past few days, other than the occasional unwillingness to accept her actions, Shasha mostly avoided Zuo Yue and did not interact much with her. Zuo Yue was really bored. After eating breakfast, she left the small island in the middle of the lake by boat. She strolled back and forth in the beautiful woods by the lake. From time to time, she would find something to eat to feed the pigeons. From time to time, she would sit on the shore and watch the various small fish in the lake. ¡°Your days are really leisurely.¡±When Ainte came back to get his things, he drove past the lake. When he saw Zuo Yue looking like she was really on vacation, he couldn¡¯t help but park the car at the side and look at her with a smile. Zuo Yue remained squatting by the shore and turned around to glance at him.¡±¡±What else can I do? Your BOSS is so busy outside that he doesn¡¯t even know what kind of trouble he¡¯s in. If I want to live happily here, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about me. Other than making him feel at ease, there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything else I can help him with.¡± ¡°As expected of a grown up, a good man!¡± Ayt placed his hands on the steering wheel.¡±But don¡¯t worry. Although Boss has returned to Russia recently to do some important and dangerous things, the recent progress has been quite smooth, so you don¡¯t have to think too much. Just enjoy life here. Also, just tell the servants what you want to eat. You can also find chefs who can cook Chinese and American food here.¡± Zuo Yue stood up and patted the remaining fish food in her hand. She turned around and walked to the car. She leaned on the window of the Ait car and looked at him with raised eyebrows.¡±What did you tell that Shasha? Sometimes I want to talk to her on purpose every day to see how deep her feelings for your BOSS are, but she ignores me and usually avoided me.¡± Ainte smiled.¡±I only told her to stay away from you and not provoke you. I told her that a woman like you was blessed to be able to marry a man like Boss who would never bloom. I told her that you were very powerful. If she dared to offend you, I reckon that her family would not be able to continue working here and might never have the chance to appear by Boss¡¯s side again. I also told her that you were Boss ¡®fianc¨¦e and his most beloved woman, not some random woman who was brought back in a mess. Tell her not to offend you and not to try to challenge your temper. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer in the end will only be her and her family.¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you?¡± Ainte chuckled.¡± In short, no one here dares to offend you. Most people respect you because you¡¯re the BOSS ¡®fianc¨¦e. You don¡¯t have to think too much. Just have fun here.¡±¡± Zuo Yue nodded.¡± There isn¡¯t even anyone to quarrel with. I can only find these small fish and pigeons to play with.¡±¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there a golf course behind us? There are also other sports grounds. You can just ask some young servants to play with you.¡± ¡°They give in to me in everything. Fortunately, the servants of our Zuo family are not so rigid. Otherwise, I would have died of boredom.¡±Zuo Yue held her chin and sighed.¡± ¡°What do you need to buy?¡± Ayt looked at her. Make a list for me, and I¡¯ll send someone to buy it for you later.¡± Zuo Yue immediately rolled her eyes at him.¡± You really don¡¯t understand the joy of women shopping on their own. Forget it, forget it. Go and do your work. Hurry up and finish it so that I can bring my man back to America.¡±¡± Chapter 1178 - Chapter 1178: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1178: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Ainte couldn¡¯t help but laugh,¡±You¡¯re the only one in this world who dares to call the BOSS your man!¡±¡± ¡°It¡¯s supposed to be my man¡¯s.¡± Zuo Yue raised her eyebrows with a serious expression. Ainte lit his cigarette.¡± Okay, okay, okay. He¡¯s your man. He¡¯s your man. You¡¯re the only woman that Boss has ever fallen into his hands. He really went through so much trouble for you.¡±¡± Until Ainte drove away, Zuo Yue stood where she was and looked in the direction he left, recalling what she had just said. Take painstaking efforts? Was it because Xu Chengfeng wanted to quickly clear his name for her, but he encountered many thorny problems? ***** ¡°Hey, I¡¯m not a tigress. Can you just talk to me?¡± Zuo Yue was sitting on the sofa, and when she saw Shasha passing by expressionlessly, she immediately called out to her. As Zuo Yue was speaking in English, Shasha understood what she was saying. However, she only stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Zuo Yue with a lukewarm expression before turning around and walking away without any expression on her face. Zuo Yue¡¯s mouth twitched. She stood up and continued speaking in English,¡±¡±It¡¯s not embarrassing to like someone. You don¡¯t have to pay attention to what Ainte told you. As long as you don¡¯t go overboard and don¡¯t have any bad intentions, I won¡¯t mind. We¡¯ve lived under the same roof for a few days, but we haven¡¯t even exchanged ten words.¡± Shasha finally stopped. She stood there for a while before turning to Zuo Yue and said calmly,¡±Ms. Zuo, there¡¯s nothing much to say between us.¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã¦Ï ¡°Are you afraid that if you say it out loud, you¡¯ll be full of jealousy or quarrel with me?¡±Zuo Yue smiled. Shasha¡¯s expression was a little ugly, obviously because she felt that Zuo Yue was teasing or mocking her. ¡°You¡¯ve been here for many years, haven¡¯t you?¡± Shasha was silent for a while. Although she didn¡¯t really want to talk to Zuo Yue, she still nodded. ¡°Actually, compared to my feelings for Xu¡­I know Ken better than anyone who has been with him for many years. I¡¯m actually very curious. I want to talk to you. I want to hear how Ken, the BOSS you speak of, has been living in Russia for so many years.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, you might have asked the wrong person. There are many servants who have lived here for ten years who can tell you.¡±Shasha¡¯s expression was still very calm, and no emotions could be seen. She was a girl who was occasionally unwilling but at least would endure. Aite said that there was nothing wrong with the people around Xu Chengfeng. Whether they were servants or friends, they were all people who could be absolutely trusted. They would not do anything that would affect Xu Chengfeng out of selfishness. After observing for a few days, Zuo Yue really wanted to talk to Shasha. ¡°But I only want to talk to you because the Ken in your eyes is different from the Ken in others ¡®eyes.¡±Zuo Yue was still smiling. Shasha¡¯s face suddenly turned slightly red, but it was only for a moment. She looked at Zuo Yue awkwardly, but Zuo Yue tilted her head and smiled at her.¡±Do you want to chat?¡± Shasha hesitated for a while, then turned around and looked at Zuo Yue seriously, saying,¡±Miss Zuo, I know what you want to know from me. I didn¡¯t know much about Boss when he was young. I only heard about him from the adults. Boss ¡®parents were Chinese, but because they were doing business in Russia, they were killed by the mafia for some benefits. I heard that Boss was only seven years old at that time. He saw his parents being thrown into the wilderness after they died. From then on, Boss was no longer a simple child.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes trembled. Seven? ¡°I¡¯m not too sure how Boss managed to gather so many Chinese people in Russia. When you came back with Boss, you must have passed by a business street where only Chinese people do business. Boss gathered all the Chinese people who had been bullied by the mafia in Russia and gradually formed his own force. After so many years of development, many people came to him just for protection. Until now, all the people behind him really respected and feared him. Even if I don¡¯t say it, you should be able to understand the hardships of this process.¡± ¡°My father is Russian, and my mother is Chinese, so I lived with my mother in Boss¡¯s place. With Boss¡¯s protection, we could avoid the enemies that my father provoked.¡± ¡°I admire Boss very much. Ten years ago, Boss was not even twenty years old when he used a sum of money to set up the KG Corporation. Later on, in the past ten years, he grew from a small financial investment institution to the KG Corporation. He successfully went public a few years ago and gradually became a giant in the European financial investment industry. The process was difficult and slow, but Boss is very powerful. He seems to be able to do anything. In short, nothing can stop him.¡± ¡°In my eyes, Boss is a king. He will never fail, nor will he show a sad expression. However, when Boss came back three years ago, he locked himself in this villa for a month without leaving the house. He ate very little. When he finally came out because of something that happened to his subordinates, his face was pale as if he had a serious illness. It took a long time before he gradually returned to his normal life. However, Boss rarely spoke. After that incident, he was too lazy to even speak occasionally.¡± After Shasha said this, she suddenly looked coldly at Zuo Yue, who was still in a daze.¡±Back then, we didn¡¯t know what happened to Boss, but now we know. When Boss came back from America three years ago, he probably already knew you.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, you¡¯re a woman who could make Boss become like that, so Boss must like you very much and take you to heart. Even if I¡¯ve secretly liked Boss for so many years, when I saw Boss locked up in this place for a month, I knew that no matter what, he wouldn¡¯t have anyone else in his heart. Even my cautious liking was just a child¡¯s play in his eyes. He would also ask others to remind me not to provoke you and not make you unhappy.¡± ¡°But Boss didn¡¯t transfer me to another place because of this, which proves that Boss trusts me. So, Miss Zuo, although I don¡¯t like you, I don¡¯t want to quarrel with you, nor do I want to do anything out of line.¡± ¡°Miss Zuo?¡± Seeing that Zuo Yue was standing rooted to the ground and did not react for a long time, Shasha thought that she had said something that she should not have said and immediately looked at her worriedly. Zuo Yue suddenly came back to her senses and muttered unconsciously,¡±¡±At that time, he locked himself in here for a month and did not leave¡­¡± Chapter 1179 - Chapter 1179: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1179: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon A car drove over from outside the door. Zuo Yue stood up and went out to welcome it, but only Ait got out of the car. She looked inside, but she couldn¡¯t see clearly through the window. Ainte walked over and said,¡±Boss is too tired today. He fell asleep in the car when we were almost there. Let him sleep first.¡± Zuo Yue nodded.¡± Then I¡¯ll get in the car and accompany him. I promise I won¡¯t wake him up.¡±¡± ¡°Even if you woke him up, it¡¯s none of my business. But Boss is indeed tired. He hasn¡¯t slept more than ten hours in the past week.¡±¡±Get in the car,¡± Ainte said as he opened the car door.¡± Only then did Zuo Yue see Xu Chengfeng in the car. He was leaning against the leather seat at the back of the car. It looked like he had really just fallen asleep. They had deliberately made it quiet, and because it was Ainte who was driving, he completely trusted him. It was rare for him to sleep so soundly. Zuo Yue quietly got into the car and slowly sat beside him. It was very quiet in the car until the door was closed. She could only smell Xu Chengfeng¡¯s clean and refreshing scent and hear his slow and calm breathing. Zuo Yue looked at him for a long time, and the words that Shasha had said today suddenly echoed in her ears. Her gaze softened instantly. She quietly leaned against his side and quietly watched him sleep. She really wanted to touch his eyebrows and nose, but she was afraid of waking him up. In the end, she could only gently place her hand on his chest, as if she was coaxing a child to sleep. She gently patted his chest through his shirt and tilted her head to see him sleeping soundly. She secretly smiled. It was rare for a man as guarded as Xu Chengfeng to sleep so soundly in one place. It seemed that this was the place he trusted the most. He was surrounded by the people he trusted the most, including her.

She stopped for a while at the flat area of his abdomen where he had a few abdominal muscles. Suddenly, she touched an inconspicuous mark. Her hand paused and she slowly straightened up. She lowered her head to look at his abdomen and gently unbuttoned his shirt. When she saw the shallow scar on his lower abdomen, she instantly recalled the first time she met Xu Chengfeng more than three years ago. On that rainy day, she was suddenly stopped in a car to help him stop the bleeding on his abdomen. That man who was clearly seriously injured but still calm and indifferent¡­ Zuo Yue¡¯s hand could not help but gently caress the wound on his lower abdomen. After caressing it for a while, she felt that she would wake Xu Chengfeng up. Just as she was about to remove her hand, she suddenly felt a grip on her wrist. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s hand had been raised at some point and held her hand. She froze and looked up at him. He opened his eyes and looked at her, as if he was not surprised that she would appear in the car. Instead, he looked at her calmly and silently, but his hand was firmly holding her wrist. ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± Zuo Yue said apologetically. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He used the strength he used to hold her hand and gently pulled her into his embrace. At the same time, he raised his hand to hug her shoulder and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.¡±No, I woke up not long after the car stopped. I was just a little tired and too lazy to move, so I slept for a while.¡± As he spoke, he patted her shoulder lightly.¡±¡±Why did you suddenly get in the car?¡± ¡± Ainte said that you fell asleep in the car. I was bored anyway, so I came into the car to accompany you. I didn¡¯t want to touch you at first, but I couldn¡¯t help it¡­Then I woke you up.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I can go back to my room to sleep. I can sleep in the car or carry you back to my room to sleep. Of course, the latter is more comfortable.¡±Xu Chengfeng smiled and kissed her forehead again.¡±¡±Why do I feel like you¡¯re so quiet today?¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t very quiet. I just suddenly felt that there were many aspects of you that I didn¡¯t expect. I suddenly felt that the person who really let down this relationship was me. I didn¡¯t want to do anything wrong again, so I didn¡¯t know what to say. I just wanted to accompany you.¡± ¡°Did someone say something to you?¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows. Or did you ask around again?¡± ¡°Nothing much. I just asked about your childhood and how you stayed here for a month when you came back three years ago.¡±After Zuo Yue finished speaking, she looked into his eyes and turned around to get out of the car.¡±¡±Let¡¯s get out of the car first. I¡¯ll accompany you back to your room to sleep.¡± However, before the car door could open, Xu Chengfeng suddenly felt a tight grip on her waist. He casually scooped her up and at the same time, he looked down at her regretful expression as if she had gone overboard with her cold treatment and revenge. He smiled and rubbed her head.¡±Silly girl, look at the present and don¡¯t always look for the past.¡± ¡°But you never said that you were so sad when you came back three years ago. I always thought that even if you liked me at that time, you didn¡¯t care that much.¡±Zuo Yue muttered softly, But now I suddenly feel that I¡¯m actually the petty one.¡± ¡°So be it. You¡¯re a girl, so I have to give in to you.¡±Xu Chengfeng patted her head again.¡±¡±Don¡¯t think too much, okay?¡± Zuo Yue nodded, but she suddenly turned around and let herself lean into his embrace.¡±¡±They all say that I¡¯m your fianc¨¦e. A few servants even asked me when I plan to marry you. When do you think we can really¡­Marriage¡­¡± She did not know why she would blush whenever she mentioned marriage in front of him. ¡°Very soon.¡± No matter how fast it was, he would have to wait until he returned to America. Zuo Yue also knew that she had the mentality of a little woman in love and was very anxious about everything. She raised her head again in his arms and looked at his face in the direction of his chin. She looked at this 360-degree, good-looking man.¡±Then what should they call me when we get married in the future? Mrs. Boss? Boss ¡®wife? Mrs. Xu? Or¡­¡± She paused for a moment and suddenly chuckled.¡± They all call you Ken. What should I call you?¡± Mrs. Ken?¡± Xu Chengfeng was amused by her. Why? Was she impatient to marry over? Hmm? Little thing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m trying to seize the right time. After all, there are so many women here who like you. Although you¡¯ve hidden them all, and I know that you don¡¯t have any emotional ties with the women in Russia, I definitely have to tie you to me as soon as possible. It¡¯s not like I¡¯m not old enough to get married.¡± Chapter 1180 - Chapter 1180: Asking the Moon on the Wind (265) Chapter 1180: Asking the Moon on the Wind (265) Xu Chengfeng nodded and chuckled.¡± You¡¯re indeed past the legal age. No one can stop you.¡±¡± ¡°That¡¯s why¡­¡± Zuo Yue paused for a moment and then suddenly asked,¡±Oh right, didn¡¯t you say that you were not the Xu family¡¯s child?¡± The name Xu Chengfeng was given to you by Grandpa. Since your surname is not Xu, you won¡¯t use this name often in the future, right? What was your name when you were in Russia? It couldn¡¯t be as simple as Ken, right? After all, it sounded like a simple title. It was your title in the underworld or to the outside world.¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled.¡± I used to be called Ken. It was the name my parents used to call me when I was young. The name is more complicated. After my parents passed away, my family name was deliberately erased from the household register because of some enemies in the family. It will never appear again. To me, Ken and Xu Chengfeng are both names. The family and identity related to me before I was seven years old are already dust in history. There¡¯s no need to mention it again.¡± ¡°Then how should I call you in the future? Is it Ken too?¡± Zuo Yue tilted her head. Xu Chengfeng suddenly smiled and kissed her on the lips. At the same time, he said in a low and hoarse voice,¡± Every time you can¡¯t stand it in bed, you call me Xu Chengfeng. To me, these three words are the sexiest and most seductive when you shout them out, so there¡¯s no need to change it. It¡¯s already very good to keep it like this¡­¡± ¡± Annoying, I¡¯m discussing names with you. What do you mean by bed¡­¡± Zuo Yue raised her head and patted his chest.¡±¡±How annoying!¡± Xu Chengfeng took advantage of the situation and kissed her lips. After a moment of kissing, he hugged her and said softly,¡±¡±I haven¡¯t been back for a week. Don¡¯t you miss me?¡± ¡°.. I do.¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s there to be ashamed about? Let¡¯s go back to our room and sleep.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s face instantly turned red. When he said he would go back to his room to sleep, he was really going to sleep. Now, when he said he was going to sleep, it had a different meaning.

Zuo Yue wanted to reach out to receive them, but Xu Chengfeng avoided her hand and directly transferred her luggage into the helicopter next to her. The wind beside the helicopter was too strong, so Zuo Yue could not hear what Xu Chengfeng and Ainte were talking about. When Xu Chengfeng turned around and signaled for her to get on the helicopter first, she obediently turned around and was helped into the helicopter. She had thought that she would continue to live here for another month, but they told her last night that she could leave. She was excited for the whole night, mainly because she could return to the United States soon, go back to the Zuo family and the Xu family to announce Xu Chengfeng¡¯s identity, and accompany Xu Chengfeng to the Xu Corporation to do the handover. In short, everything was going in the direction she hoped for. She believed that after he dealt with the matters in Russia, The thorny problems of the Xu Corporation could be solved faster. After all, there would be no more gangs behind him. Zuo Yue was thinking about whether she should call the United States to let her mother prepare herself in advance so that her grandfather and father would not be shocked when they returned. Before she took out her phone, Xu Chengfeng had already boarded the plane. Seeing Zuo Yue sitting comfortably with the corners of her mouth curled up, Xu Chengfeng chuckled.¡±¡±Didn¡¯t you insist on coming to Russia before? Now that you¡¯re leaving, you seem to be in a good mood?¡± ¡°Because we¡¯ve already completed another step. The next step is to go back to America and take a bigger step towards our relationship! Of course I¡¯m happy.¡± ¡°And it¡¯s my first time taking a helicopter.¡± Zuo Yue said excitedly.¡± The Zuo family actually had two private helicopters, but they never used them. She had been a little girl at home for so many years and had never been allowed to touch many things. Now, sitting in the helicopter and looking at the man in front of her who had promised her eternal love, she felt that there was hope when she returned to the United States. Zuo Yue¡¯s excited look infected Xu Chengfeng. He smiled and turned around to whisper some things to the bodyguards on the plane. A few minutes later, Ainte also boarded the plane. Zuo Yue turned to look out the window and saw Shasha standing in the crowd quietly looking in their direction. Thinking about it, if it was not for Shasha¡¯s words, she might not have known that Xu Chengfeng had such deep feelings for her a few years ago. Therefore, Zuo Yue also slightly curved her lips towards the window of the helicopter without any hostility. Of course, from this angle, the people outside the plane could not see her smile. Only Xu Chengfeng, who was at the side, saw Zuo Yue¡¯s smiling face. He reached out and rubbed her head.¡±Are you ready?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue fastened the seatbelt on the helicopter as requested and prepared to enjoy the feeling of the helicopter taking off. After everything was ready, the door of the cabin was closed. They had just taken off. Zuo Yue wanted to take a look outside, but as soon as she took off, she suddenly felt an discomfort in her stomach. She turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng and the others talking about something without changing their expressions. They were communicating in Russian, and their speed was low and fast. She did not hear it clearly, and she did not understand most of it. Not wanting to disturb them, she sat there quietly and placed her hand on her stomach until the helicopter gradually stabilized. However, the helicopter was faster than an ordinary plane. No matter how stable it was, it would not be as senseless as an ordinary plane. She had never felt carsick or airsick before. Why did she still feel nauseous when she was flying so steadily? While Ainte and Xu Chengfeng were discussing something softly, their eyes suddenly became serious, as if they had talked about something or suddenly found something wrong. Zuo Yue suddenly felt that the atmosphere around them had become cold and felt even more strange. Could it be that there was something in Russia that they had not completely resolved? Or did he miss something? She had been holding back the feeling of nausea and leaning against the window. She did not dare to look out. Once she looked out, she would feel dizzy and feel even more disgusted. Suddenly, the plane shook. She quickly pressed her stomach hard and tried not to make any uncomfortable sounds to attract their attention. Suddenly, someone in the driver¡¯s seat spoke. It sounded urgent. Zuo Yue did not understand, but she saw Xu Chengfeng suddenly stand up and walk into the driver¡¯s seat. It seemed like he was going to see something. However, at the same time, Ainte also turned to look at Zuo Yue with a hint of worry in his eyes. ¡± What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Yue asked, feeling strange. Did something happen¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt the plane shake violently, followed by a loud bang. It seemed to have hit something or something flying towards her. Chapter 1181 - Chapter 1181: Asking the Moon on the Wind (266) Chapter 1181: Asking the Moon on the Wind (266) ¡°Be careful!¡± Xu Chengfeng reached out and held Zuo Yue down as the plane shook. At the same time, he leaned over and protected her in his arms. However, the shaking around his body continued, and there was even the sound of violent collisions. Zuo Yue raised her head from his arms.¡±What happened? Ah!¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt that the plane was about to be forced to land. The feeling of weightlessness shocked her so much that her hands instinctively grabbed the hem of his clothes. Her eyes were filled with shock and confusion.¡±What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. He just looked out of the plane with a cold expression. While protecting Zuo Yue, he suddenly turned around and gave Ainte a look. Ainte had already quickly picked up the spare landing equipment on the plane and handed over the oxygen machine. Zuo Yue indeed felt like she was going to die when the plane descended rapidly. Xu Chengfeng pressed the oxygen mask to her nose and she barely regained her senses. However, the disgusting feeling became more and more obvious. She endured the feeling of vomiting and looked up at Xu Chengfeng, only to see that his eyes were serious and cold. Her eyes were filled with questions, but Xu Chengfeng looked down at her. He hugged her very tightly, as if he was going to press her into his body. Zuo Yue felt inexplicably scared because of this hug. She kept feeling that something was going to happen. However, after the helicopter quickly landed at a place and flew forward for an unknown distance, Zuo Yue was shaken so hard that she held her stomach until the cabin door opened. She quickly ran out with Ainte and the others. After she ran out of the cabin, Zuo Yue immediately knelt on the ground and turned to vomit on a patch of grass. She had not eaten much previously because she had no appetite, so what she vomited now was basically just water. After vomiting for a long time, she finally turned to look in the direction of the helicopter. However, she saw that Xu Chengfeng did not come over in time to take care of her. Instead, he looked cold and serious as he said something to Ainte. As she turned to look at him, Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned to look at her. However, she could not understand his gaze. It was so deep and heavy, as if they were about to face a danger that even Xu Chengfeng did not expect. Zuo Yue felt uncomfortable all over. She was so disgusted that she could not even speak. Only after she vomited until there was nothing left to vomit did she stand up shakily. She knew that something must have happened at this time. She could not burden them and did not need anyone to take care of her. She staggered back and almost fell down when she reached Xu Chengfeng¡¯s side. Xu Chengfeng held her and hugged her at the same time. He looked down and saw that her face was as pale as paper. He said softly,¡±The plane shook too much just now. Can you still hold on if it was a normal flight?¡± Zuo Yue thought that she had misheard him. She turned to look at the helicopter beside her. Although she did not know how many times it had been hit by the helicopter, at least the helicopter could still fly normally and accurately find a safe landing point. Why would he suddenly ask her to change to an ordinary plane? ¡°Are we going to change our way back? Flight? Are you coming with me?¡± Zuo Yue instinctively felt that something must have happened to him. She raised her hand and grabbed his wrist.¡±Are you coming with me?¡± Sure enough, she guessed right. Xu Chengfeng held her hand instead.¡±There are some changes in the situation now. Zuo Yue, you can¡¯t go with me. I¡¯ll get someone to send you to the airport first.¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã? ¡°Why?¡± Zuo Yue instantly asked as she looked up at the sky. She could not see the UFO that had hit them. She was so disgusted that she did not have the heart to look out the window. She did not know what had hit them. Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t explain. He just looked at Ainte.¡±Send someone to send Zuo Yue to the airport. Use the most covert method to send her back to America safely. I¡¯ll distract them.¡± Ainte nodded and walked over to support Zuo Yue, who was almost unable to stand due to nausea. ¡°I¡¯m going to be a wizardry boy!¡± Zuo Yue turned around and glared at Xu Chengfeng,¡± You said that you wanted to go back to the United States together. Why did you suddenly ask me to go alone?¡± What happened just now? Didn¡¯t they say that the matter here had been settled? You¡¯re considered a powerful person in Russia. Are you going to send me away first when you¡¯re in danger? Xu Chengfeng, what did you say before? Why should I leave?!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s pale face and resisted the urge to hug her again. He said with a cold face,¡±¡±I might not be able to take care of you now. Go back to America first.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s expression froze. She looked at him in disbelief and tagged him to support her.¡±Miss Zuo, it¡¯s not safe here now. Leave with us first. We¡¯ve already sent the signal just now. A nearby car will come and pick you up soon.¡± Did Xu Chengfeng mean that if she stayed by his side, she would be a burden to him, a hindrance to him? Zuo Yue resisted the urge to rush forward and grab his collar to ask him what had happened. He was actually forced to say such hurtful words, but Ainte pressed her down hard. She just stared at him with her eyes wide open. After a long time, she gave up struggling and only asked in a hollow voice,¡±Then when will you go to America to find me?¡± Xu Chengfeng turned his back and said in a calm and low voice,¡±¡±I¡¯ll try my best.¡± ¡°How fast is it?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes reddened. At the same time, she saw his clenched fists by his side. She knew that he was enduring, but she still could not help but want to see his heart clearly. There seemed to be many helicopters approaching from the horizon not far away. Zuo Yue looked up at the distant sky and saw at least five helicopters approaching in this direction. ¡°Ait, take her away immediately.¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly turned his head and looked coldly in their direction from the corner of his eye.¡±¡±Don¡¯t delay!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Ainte¡¯s expression was also very dark. He directly grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s hand and forcefully pulled her to turn around.¡±Miss Zuo, quickly follow me!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Zuo Yue wanted to say that she would not leave, but when she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s cold and determined back, she remembered what he had just said. Regardless of whether he had hurt her on purpose to make her leave, if something really happened, she would only think about living and dying with him. That would be the most brainless way to drag him down. Regardless of whether it was dangerous or not, as long as she was not by his side, he would always have a way. What could she do if she stayed? Zuo Yue looked at him deeply again. Ainte thought that she was unwilling to leave and could not help but say sternly,¡±¡±Miss Zuo! Now was not the time to play around! We¡¯ll listen to the BOSS ¡®arrangements!¡± Chapter 1182 - Chapter 1182: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1182: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Zuo Yue stared at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back stiffly. She felt as if the helicopter in front of him was about to take off again. Seeing him enter the helicopter without looking back, she instantly burst into tears. She suddenly turned to Ainte, whose eyes were also red.¡±Ainte, what exactly is he trying to do¡­What exactly happened¡­¡± ¡°Miss Zuo, Boss will be fine. You just have to leave safely and don¡¯t let Boss worry.¡±Ainte didn¡¯t say anything and directly took her away from the helicopter¡¯s range of effect. Zuo Yue staggered and was pulled to the side of a road. Her back was facing the direction where Xu Chengfeng had left. Her tears kept falling, but she did not dare to cry out loud. It was as if her entire body had been tightened. It was not until a black Maybach pulled up in front of them that Ainte greeted the people in the car and let Zuo Yue get in. At first, Zuo Yue stood stiffly by the car and refused to leave. It was not until Ainte pushed her in that she fell onto the seat at the back of the car. Her eyes were red as she looked out of the car window, in the direction of Xu Chengfeng and the helicopter. ¡°Miss Zuo, go to the airport in peace. Boss will be fine.¡±After Ainte got into the car, he said something to her and started to communicate with the driver in Russian. Although she couldn¡¯t understand what he was saying, she could tell the severity of the situation from the tone between him and the driver. She could also hear that there really seemed to be an emergency. Her stomach was still feeling nauseous. Zuo Yue¡¯s hands were tightly intertwined. They were clearly on the plane an hour ago, preparing to fly to the United States. Now, she was going to take a car to the airport alone. Xu Chengfeng did not know what kind of danger he would face. Zuo Yue only felt her entire body tense. When Zuo Yue turned around and looked in that direction, she could no longer see the helicopter. ¡°Miss Zuo.¡± Ayt was quiet beside her for a while, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he suddenly broke the silence.¡±Boss is thinking about your safety. He won¡¯t really be distracted by you.¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you know.¡± Ainte sighed.¡±Boss¡¯s forces in Russia have been reorganized over the past month. It¡¯s true that everything has been arranged properly and there won¡¯t be any more problems. However, this is the Russian border. There are a few new outlaws who have designs on Boss¡¯s real power and financial resources. On the surface, things have been settled, but those outlaws don¡¯t seem to want Boss to leave so easily. Fortunately, the pilot had gone through life and death with us so many times that he was able to safely land the plane in a safe area. Otherwise, we would have died in the crash.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s heart tightened when she heard that. What do you mean?¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?? ¡°To put it simply, there are good and bad people in the underworld. There are also people who are righteous and those who kill innocent people. Boss only uses the underworld to do business and has never killed innocent people. However, the power behind him is getting bigger and bigger, so some things are gradually becoming uncontrollable. Although it was not easy to deal with those forces, Boss had his own ways. In the past month, he had dealt with most of the forces that prevented him from clearing his name. He could have left today, but he did not expect those outlaws to be so fearless and use such a method to block Boss¡¯s path. Boss still needed to deal with those people, but they were all beasts who killed without blinking. To ensure your safety, he had to send you back to America first.¡±Moreover, only you can go back alone. Any of us following you will cause you harm because they are not targeting you, but us.¡± ¡°Will he really be fine?¡± Zuo Yue looked into Ainte¡¯s eyes.¡± He didn¡¯t let me leave before. Now, he suddenly wants me to leave so decisively. What will happen?¡±¡± Ainte sighed.¡± It¡¯s not certain what will happen, but after all, those outlaws often do some unexpected things. Boss is only doing this for your safety, so you don¡¯t have to worry too much, Miss Zuo.¡±¡± ¡°But your eyes were red just now.¡± Zuo Yue stared at him and said,¡± Ait, I don¡¯t think my feeling is wrong.¡±¡± ¡± Don¡¯t think too much about it,¡± Ainte sighed after a pause.¡± Just go back to America in peace.¡±¡± Zuo Yue turned to look outside the window and did not say anything else. When they arrived at the airport, Ainte quickly booked a direct flight for her to the United States. She sat in the waiting hall and looked at the waiting card in her hand. It was not until the airport¡¯s broadcast sounded that her flight was about to take off. After a long time, the broadcast began to read her name and urged her to board the plane as soon as possible. Only then did Zuo Yue slowly stand up, turn around, and walk in. Xu Chengfeng had asked her to wait in America, so she would go back and wait. There was no point in staying. However, after boarding the plane, before she turned off her phone, she gave Xu Chengfeng a call. He shouldn¡¯t be on the helicopter now. He can answer the phone, right? However, the call went through, but no one picked up. After calling twice, no one picked up. Zuo Yue¡¯s heart was anxious and uncomfortable. Finally, under the urging of the flight attendant, she turned off the phone. When the plane took off, the disgusting feeling surged again. Her face was pale as she leaned against the seat. She turned to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, but her heart was in a knot. Xu Chengfeng, you must be fine.¡± We agreed that you would accompany me back to the States openly, that you would get married after everything settled down, that you would get rid of the title of uncle and nephew, and that you would return to the Xu family and the Zuo family together. .. ***** Boston, USA. She had come back in a hurry, so she did not take many things from her suitcase. She left them all in Russia, so she left some of her things with Xu Chengfeng. Zuo Yue went back to the villa to stay. She bought a lot of things in the next few days. Every day, she quietly prepared for graduation. She ran between the villa and the school. She also went to King to do some internship reports from time to time. After she officially graduated, she would return to King Corporation to continue working. She was so busy that she almost forgot the passage of time. She almost forgot that Xu Chengfeng had cut off contact with her for ten days. There was no news or phone call from him in the past ten days. Even when she called him and Ainte, there was no signal or no one answered. She called Shasha, but she couldn¡¯t contact anyone. Zuo Yue felt as if she had left a place called a mirage ten days ago. It was fine if she left, but it was so difficult to find the person there. There were still two days left before she had to return to school to hand in her graduation materials. Zuo Yue woke up early in the morning and was about to go out to print something. However, just as she changed her clothes and went to the bathroom, she suddenly felt nauseous again. She turned around and retched towards the water. Chapter 1183 - Chapter 1183: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1183: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon He retched for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t spit anything out. After quickly washing her face, she slowly raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. After looking at herself for a long time, her eyes gradually widened in surprise. She wouldn¡¯t be the real deal. His hand slowly reached out to his abdomen, gently pressing on his flat abdomen, and then his eyes stared blankly at himself in the mirror. Could it be¡­ In her memory, when she was in Russia, she and Xu Chengfeng had used birth control most of the time. There was only one time when the two of them had sex for the whole night. She was covered in sweat and felt sticky, so she ran straight into the bathroom to take a shower. Not long after, Xu Chengfeng also entered the bathroom. When the two of them were taking a shower together, she asked him to help her wipe her back. In the end, as she was wiping her back, he suddenly pressed her against the wall from behind and went in directly from behind¡­ There was only one time when she couldn¡¯t control herself in the bathroom and didn¡¯t use any contraceptives. The next day, before dawn, he left because of a phone call. She was so tired that she slept until the afternoon and almost forgot about it. One day, she finally remembered, but it had been at least a week since then. It was too late to take the morning-after pill. She could only calculate the date and realized that it was about a week after her period ended. Perhaps it was still considered a safe period. However, no matter how much he calculated, he did not expect that¡­ Zuo Yue placed her hand on her stomach for a long time. Suddenly, her eyes felt hot. She hurriedly turned around and ran back to the living room to take out her phone to dial Xu Chengfeng¡¯s number. However, no one picked up after she dialed. Zuo Yue slowly put down her phone and looked at the black screen with red eyes. After tidying herself up, she quickly left the house. She first went to agree to the things she needed for her graduation materials, then went straight to the hospital. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í??.§ã¦Ï After a series of tests, she confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. According to her calculations, she should have been pregnant because she did not use birth control that night. It had only been a month since then. It had only been a month and her reaction was already so big. In the past few days, she had either felt tired all over or inexplicably nauseous. Zuo Yue returned to the villa with the diagnosis report she brought from the hospital. She curled up on the sofa and looked at the diagnosis report in her hand for a while before looking at An Jing¡¯s phone. Three years ago, she had only felt despair and coldness when they parted ways. Now, after only a week of losing contact, she knew what it meant to be forced to the brink of collapse by longing. Leaning on the sofa, she sent Xu Chengfeng a text message. She did not know when he would see it, but she was afraid that it would affect his mood and make him worry, so she did not tell him about her pregnancy directly. She only said that she missed him in the text message. The villa was very quiet. Zuo Yue closed her eyes and leaned on the sofa. She fell asleep unknowingly. ***** The busy graduation and internship intertwined, and she was busy for an entire week. Before she went home from school, Zuo Yue specially went to the hospital and asked the doctor to prescribe some things that would help her and the baby in the early stages of pregnancy to increase nutrition. Because she was alone in the villa every day, there was nothing to do if she went back too early. She simply strolled around the maternal and infant section of the supermarket for a long time and only returned to the villa when it was dark. As soon as she returned to the villa, she saw a familiar black Porsche parked outside. She looked at the license plate number of the car and then suddenly looked at Jie Guang in the villa. She looked at the lights in the villa in disbelief and quickly walked in. The moment she opened the door and ran in, she saw Xu Chengfeng standing in the hall. He looked like he had just gone out on a business trip or came back from a meeting. He was wearing a tailored casual shirt and trousers, and his eyes were calm and indifferent as he looked at her. Zuo Yue almost thought that she was dreaming. How could she suddenly return without a sound? Zuo Yue stood in front of the door in a daze for a long time. Then, she suddenly turned her eyes and looked behind her. The car outside was indeed parked in front of the courtyard. She slowly turned her eyes back to look at the man who was standing by the sofa and staring at her with a faint smile. ¡°You¡­¡± Zuo Yue looked at him blankly.¡± Xu Chengfeng chuckled,¡±What do you want?¡± I waited for you at home for so long after I came back in the afternoon, but I didn¡¯t see you. You didn¡¯t answer my calls either. If you didn¡¯t come back in time, I¡¯m afraid I would have gone to your school to ask for you.¡± Zuo Yue was stunned for a while after hearing that. She quickly took out her phone from her bag and saw that there were a few missed calls. They were all from Xu Chengfeng¡¯s number. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know why I muted my phone. I didn¡¯t hear it, and I didn¡¯t look at my phone this afternoon¡­¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she changed her shoes and walked in excitedly. When she walked in front of Xu Chengfeng and saw him open his arms, she immediately pounced on him. She bumped into his embrace and was instantly hugged by him. She even felt the moment when he tightened his arms and smelled the clean and refreshing smell on his body. Only then did Zuo Yue confirm that the person in front of her was real. However, it was so real that she felt that it was inexplicably unbelievable. inexplicably strange¡­Happiness came too suddenly, so suddenly that she felt that even reality seemed too surreal. ¡°Are you for real¡­¡± Zuo Yue hugged his waist tightly with both hands and buried her head deep in his embrace. She choked and said,¡±¡±Are you for real¡­The real Xu Chengfeng¡­I clearly didn¡¯t hear from you before. Why did you suddenly come back¡­Why hasn¡¯t she picked up my calls or replied to my messages? Why did you suddenly come back¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng patted her head.¡± Silly girl, pack your things. I¡¯ll send you back to Los Angeles.¡±¡± Zuo Yue was stunned, thinking that she had misheard. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him.¡±Back to Los Angeles?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you graduate?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled. We¡¯ll talk about your internship at King Corporation after you return to Los Angeles. I¡¯ll get someone to help you re-register your internship results.¡±He patted her shoulder gently.¡±¡±Go pack your things.¡± ¡°Are we going back to Los Angeles now? You just came back. Where are Ainte and the others?¡±Zuo Yue felt that something was strange. Xu Chengfeng smiled faintly.¡± Ainte is still in Russia. You don¡¯t have to worry about that. You can¡¯t continue to live alone in Boston. You have to go back to the Zuo family. If you don¡¯t want to go back, I¡¯ll send you back myself.¡±¡± As he spoke, Xu Chengfeng patted her back again.¡±¡±Hurry up and pack up. We¡¯re leaving tonight.¡± Zuo Yue still could not react, but Xu Chengfeng did not seem to be acting strangely. She instinctively grabbed his hand.¡±Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Chapter 1184 - Chapter 1184: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon Chapter 1184: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon ¡°Didn¡¯t you also want me to accompany you back to the Zuo family earlier?¡±Xu Chengfeng did not explain further. He only smiled and said,¡±¡±Now that I¡¯m back, I¡¯ll accompany you back to Los Angeles as soon as possible. Isn¡¯t that good?¡± ¡°.. It¡¯s good, but¡­¡± Zuo Yue still felt that something was not right, but she could not pinpoint it. ¡°Go pack.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± .. Two hours later, Zuo Yue got into the car. Xu Chengfeng was already waiting for her in the car. Zuo Yue really wanted to ask him how he came back and why he did not inform her in advance. However, Xu Chengfeng put her luggage in the back after getting into the car and started the car without any delay. They sped on the streets that were filled with lights. Seeing that he did not seem to want to talk about Russia anymore, Zuo Yue could not say anything more. She could only look at the colorful night scenery that quickly passed by outside the car. She could not help but feel happy when she thought of the little life that was being nurtured in her stomach. No matter what, it was good that he had returned safely. When they returned to Los Angeles, she would tell the Zuo family that they were not related by blood. She would then tell them about her pregnancy. She really wanted to see Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression when that happened. Previously, he had been so careful to avoid her from getting pregnant, but that time in the bathroom, he still couldn¡¯t help it. Moreover, it had only been that one time. He definitely did not expect to fall for it just like that. Zuo Yue smiled as she gently rubbed her lower abdomen. Suddenly, she heard Xu Chengfeng say,¡±¡±Sleep if you¡¯re tired. We¡¯ll probably reach Los Angeles at dawn. You can take a nap first.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy.¡± Zuo Yue smiled and turned her eyes.¡± You suddenly came back. I still feel like I¡¯m in a dream. I¡¯m in a good mood. I can¡¯t fall asleep no matter what.¡±¡± ¡°You¡¯re in such a good mood when you¡¯re with me?¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled.¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï ¡°Of course.¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± Xu Chengfeng smiled again and drove steadily. At the same time, he seemed to be joking inadvertently.¡±Then if I¡¯m not by your side in the future, will you still be able to have such a happy life?¡± Zuo Yue rolled her eyes at him.¡± Stop being narcissistic. The world can still spin without anyone. Even if I¡¯ve been defeated by you alone for so many years, it doesn¡¯t mean that I don¡¯t even have the right to be happy when you¡¯re not by my side, right? Don¡¯t worry, although I¡¯m devoted to some people, I don¡¯t love someone so much that I can¡¯t control myself. I still have to be happy when I should be. I won¡¯t be happy and worried about you all day.¡± Zuo Yue was deliberately trying to maintain her face. She would not admit that she had been on the verge of depression after losing contact with him for the past two weeks. After a moment of silence, Xu Chengfeng suddenly said softly,¡±¡±That¡¯s good.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s brows twitched as she suddenly turned to look at him.¡±¡±Why did you suddenly ask that just now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°I saw that you were in a good mood, so I wanted to talk to you.¡± Xu Chengfeng said softly.¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t continue the conversation. Instead, she stared at his side profile for a long time before she blinked again and said,¡±¡±What do you plan to do about the Xu Corporation? You came back in such a hurry that I wasn¡¯t prepared. I didn¡¯t know how to deal with the people and things that I would have to face when I returned to Los Angeles with you, so I didn¡¯t prepare in advance.¡± ¡°I know what to do. Just go back to the Zuo family in peace.¡± Zuo Yue had a nagging feeling that something was wrong, but she looked at him for a long time and nodded. She did not continue to disturb him on this topic. ***** Zuo Yue was very energetic at first, but Xu Chengfeng did not say anything along the way. He seemed to be in a mood. She sat in the car and fell asleep in the middle of the night. When she opened her eyes, she found that the car was almost near the Zuo family¡¯s house. She quickly sat up straight. Although she was still a little sleepy after waking up, she was especially nervous. She was about to return to the Zuo family. If her mother saw her return to the Zuo family with Xu Chengfeng, what would she say? What would he do? What should she do to avoid being scolded? Turning around, she saw Xu Chengfeng holding the steering wheel with one hand and rubbing the space between his eyebrows with the other. He seemed to be troubled by something, but also seemed to be a little tired. Zuo Yue quickly said,¡±¡±We¡¯ll be at the Zuo family soon. You can go back to my room and rest. I can explain it to my mother myself.¡± Xu Chengfeng turned to look at her and smiled faintly.¡±¡±I¡¯m fine.¡± Ever since she suddenly realized that he had returned last night, Zuo Yue could not help but secretly look at him. She carefully observed his every expression as if she wanted to read his true thoughts. However, no matter how she looked at it, she could not see anything unusual. She could only take out a wet towel to wipe her face and then tidy her hair so that she could look refreshed when she arrived at the Zuo family later. This way, her mother would feel that after she got together with Xu Chengfeng, many bad habits had been changed. She would definitely not stop her from doing things with Xu Chengfeng. After all, even if they were no longer related by blood, in her mother¡¯s eyes, the relationship between her and Xu Chengfeng had crossed too many boundaries. Even if he was not her uncle, he was still someone who had once called her uncle. She did not know how long her mother would make things difficult for them. When they got out of the car, Zuo Yue was the first to run out of the car. Then, she turned around and waited for Xu Chengfeng. However, Xu Chengfeng was not as agile as usual. He stayed silent in the car for a few minutes until Zuo Yue bent down and looked into the car strangely. He then opened the door and got out of the car, then walked over. He walked to Zuo Yue¡¯s side and raised his hand to caress her head. It was as if he was facing a child whom he loved dearly. The pain and love in his eyes were real. It was so real that Zuo Yue firmly believed that if her mother knew about the relationship between her and Xu Chengfeng, she would definitely not say the word ¡®no¡¯. When they walked into the Zuo family, the butler, Uncle Chen, came out to welcome them. He was stunned at first and quickly called someone to lead the way. In Zuo Yue¡¯s memory, this was the first time Xu Chengfeng accompanied her back to the Zuo family. In the past, he was the young master of the Xu family, but now he was a guest of the Zuo family, so the treatment was naturally different. She originally wanted to hold Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arm and walk in, but Xu Chengfeng quietly pulled his hand away when others saw their relationship. He only raised his hand to pat her shoulder and then walked in first. When Xu Yuan heard the news from Uncle Chen and hurriedly walked out of the main hall, Xu Chengfeng¡¯s eyes met Xu Yuan¡¯s. He suddenly turned to Zuo Yue, who was nervously twisting her fingers together, and said softly,¡±¡±Go back to your room first. I have something to say to your mother.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Zuo Yue stood rooted to the ground, stunned. Shouldn¡¯t the two of them face it together? Moreover, this was the Zuo family¡¯s house. Why did he suddenly come back and want to talk to his mother alone? Although she was a little puzzled, she saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s serious expression. Although she was puzzled, Zuo Yue¡¯s feet instinctively turned to the other side. Chapter 1185 - Chapter 1185: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (270) Chapter 1185: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (270) After returning to her room, Zuo Yue felt inexplicably uneasy. She paced back and forth in the room. ¡°Miss Sun, why are you still wearing the clothes you wore when you came back? Hurry up and change into light clothes.¡± When Mother Wang entered the door, she looked at Zuo Yue happily. Because she hadn¡¯t seen Zuo Yue for a long time, Mother Wang was especially close to her. She went forward and began to help her pack her things and clothes. Normally, Zuo Yue would have jumped into Wang Ma¡¯s arms and acted coquettishly, but now she only turned around to look at Wang Ma before turning back to the window to look out. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s strange behavior, Wang Ma didn¡¯t say anything more. After helping her pack her luggage, she went out again until she brought in two plates of Zuo Yue¡¯s favorite snacks at home. She put them on the table and saw Zuo Yue still standing in front of the window. ¡°Miss Sun.¡± ¡°Madam is talking to Mr. Xu about something. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Wang Ma walked over.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried. I just feel that something is wrong.¡±Zuo Yue subconsciously muttered a few words in front of the window. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have let her mouth slip, so she quickly turned to look at Wang Ma. She saw Wang Ma looking at her lovingly and not reacting in any way because of what she had just said. ¡°Wang Ma, are they still in the main hall?¡± ¡°I think so. When I came back with your favorite snacks, I saw Mr. Xu over there.¡± She felt uneasy no matter how hard she tried. Zuo Yue stood there for a few more minutes before she suddenly turned around and walked out. ¡°Eh? Miss Sun?¡± ¡°Leave the food first. I¡¯ll eat it when I come back later.¡±Zuo Yue hurriedly ran out, but she couldn¡¯t bear to neglect Wang Ma. She turned around and hurriedly said a few words before quickly running out. ¡°This girl, why does she look like she has a lot on her mind the moment she comes back?¡±Wang Ma sighed. Zuo Yue quickly passed through the garden behind the Zuo family. When Butler Chen saw her, he was about to ask something. However, before he could say anything, Zuo Yue had already quickly ran in front of Uncle Chen. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã? When they returned to the main hall, Zuo Yue was about to go straight to Xu Chengfeng, but she almost bumped into Father Zuo, who had also returned home at some point. When she met Father Zuo¡¯s gaze, Zuo Yue was shocked and suddenly stopped in her tracks.¡±Dad¡­?¡± ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? Why are you so flustered at home?¡± Father Zuo frowned. ¡°I¡­¡± Zuo Yue carefully looked behind him through his shoulder and asked tentatively,¡±¡±That¡­ Xu¡­Is Xu Chengfeng still talking to my mom?¡± Hearing Xu Chengfeng¡¯s name, Father Zuo¡¯s gaze deepened. For some reason, he suddenly seemed to be very dissatisfied. He only said with a cold face,¡±Go back to your room.¡± ¡°Dad?¡± Zuo Yue was puzzled. ¡°Zuo Yue, you just came back. I don¡¯t want to lose my temper with you. Go back to your room first. Later, I¡¯ll go to your room with your mother to look for you.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Dad, he and I¡­¡± Zuo Yue was puzzled. ¡°Go back quickly!¡± Father Zuo spoke with a rare stern expression. Zuo Yue felt that it was strange, but Father Zuo just blocked the door and did not let her in. Zuo Yue pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She stood rooted to the ground for a while and realized that she could not see Xu Chengfeng inside. She could only turn around and go back. After returning to her room, she was still worried. She sat on pins and needles. She recalled the look in her father¡¯s eyes when he looked at her just now. It was inexplicably strict. In the past, her father rarely interfered with the family¡¯s affairs. Even if he did, he would always be very harmonious. Her parents were not always cold like her grandfather, but her father¡¯s attitude just now really made her unable to figure it out. About half an hour later, Xu Chengfeng had already talked to his mother alone for more than an hour. Zuo Yue got up and took out her phone. She sent a message to Xu Chengfeng.¡±How is it? What did you guys talk about? Had they already talked about her background? My dad is back too. Is he talking to you with my mom? How¡¯s your discussion going?¡± There was no reply for a long time after she sent the message. Zuo Yue felt like sending another message.¡±Why did Dad look very unhappy when he saw me just now? Could it be that they don¡¯t agree to the two of us being together? Even if they weren¡¯t related by blood, they wouldn¡¯t agree?¡± ¡°Answer me. Are you still talking to them? I can¡¯t go over now and tell you to reply to me so that I won¡¯t let my thoughts run wild.¡± However, there was still no reply from Xu Chengfeng even after a long time. ¡°Miss Sun, don¡¯t be too anxious. You¡¯ve just returned and you¡¯re already like this. Mother Wang¡¯s heart aches when she sees you. Are you looking for Mr. Xu?¡± Wang Ma saw Zuo Yue¡¯s anxious look and couldn¡¯t help but ask with heartache. Zuo Yue suddenly looked up at Wang Ma.¡±My dad doesn¡¯t want me to go to the main hall now. Wang Ma, go to the main hall and help me take a look. See how Xu Chengfeng is doing. Is he still there discussing things with my parents?¡± ¡°Also, if you can stand by the side and listen for a while, help me listen and see what they are talking about.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll go now. Don¡¯t worry, Miss Sun. I¡¯ll be right there.¡±Wang Ma doted on her the most. Seeing that Zuo Yue was like an ant on a hot pan, she couldn¡¯t bear to see her like this. After agreeing, she turned around and walked out quickly. After Wang Ma left, Zuo Yue looked at the snacks on the table but was not in the mood to eat. She only looked at An Jing¡¯s phone from time to time in the room. Ever since she saw Xu Chengfeng come back last night, the uneasiness that had spread in her heart seemed to have expanded hundreds of times in an instant. Ten minutes later, Wang Ma ran back and entered the house, panting. Zuo Yue turned around and quickly walked over.¡±Wang Ma, how did it go? Do you see them? Are they still talking?¡± Wang Ma leaned against the door and shook her head.¡± The anxiety in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly turned into shock.¡±¡±What?¡± Wang Ma had obviously run too hurriedly just now. She leaned against the door and panted with difficulty. As she panted, she said,¡±Miss Sun, Mr. Xu has already left.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes instantly became muddled, and then she could not help but laugh.¡±¡±What do you mean? He just sent me back. How could he have left? Did they go somewhere else to talk? You didn¡¯t find her?¡± Mother Wang shook her head.¡± No, Madam and Old Master Zuo are in the main hall. They don¡¯t look too good, but they didn¡¯t say anything to me. I just asked where Mr. Xu is.¡± She asked if Mr. Xu would be having lunch at the Zuo family¡¯s house, but Madam said that Mr. Xu had already left.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s hand on Wang Ma¡¯s arm instantly loosened. She looked at Wang Ma in front of her as if she was looking at a stranger. Then, she took a step back as if her consciousness was a little scattered. Then, she smiled inexplicably.¡±Wang Ma, don¡¯t joke with me.¡± Chapter 1186 - Chapter 1186: Asking the Moon on the Wind (271) Chapter 1186: Asking the Moon on the Wind (271) ¡°It¡¯s true, Miss Sun. I¡¯m not joking.¡± Mother Wang sighed. ¡°Mr. Xu really left. Madam won¡¯t lie. I just took a look and Mr. Xu¡¯s car seems to have left. He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. It seems that he only wanted to send you back personally.¡±¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Zuo Yue suddenly took a step back.¡± It¡¯s impossible for him to leave. He just returned to America yesterday. He clearly said that he would personally send me back to Los Angeles¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Xu did send you back personally¡­¡± ¡°No! No, he came back with me. He came back to explain things to my parents. How could he leave?¡±Zuo Yue thought that Wang Ma was coaxing and scaring her like when she was a child, so she pushed open the door and ran out quickly. ¡°Miss Sun!¡± Zuo Yue had always felt that something was wrong. When she heard the news that Xu Chengfeng had left, her legs went weak. She felt as if something big was about to happen. She staggered out of the door and bumped into Xu Yuan, who came from an unknown direction. ¡°Zuo Yue¡­¡± Xu Yuan reached out to support her. Zuo Yuegang barely managed to stand up and suddenly looked up at her. He grabbed Xu Yuan¡¯s hand and asked anxiously,¡±¡±Mom, where¡¯s Xu Chengfeng? Did he talk to you? What did he say?¡± Xu Yuan stared at her for a long time before she grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist.¡±¡±Zuo Yue, do you still remember what you promised three years ago? Didn¡¯t you say that you would never see your uncle again? How did you guys get in touch with each other? How did they end up together again?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused. He¡¯s not my uncle, he¡¯s not!¡± ¡°Child, are you really going to go crazy for this kind of relationship that shouldn¡¯t exist? I¡¯m afraid that Chengfeng was also pestered by you, so he personally sent you back and asked us to keep a close eye on you for the next few months and not let you leave the Zuo family.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s words made Zuo Yue feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She looked at Xu Yuan in disbelief. Her eyes were red and her face was filled with disappointment. She thought she had heard wrong and felt that the world had suddenly become extremely unfamiliar. What exactly happened? Why did it suddenly¡­Why did he suddenly send her back? She didn¡¯t even tell them anything and only asked the Zuo family to keep a close watch on her and not let her leave the Zuo family? Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï Did she hear wrongly or was the world wrong? Was it not Xu Chengfeng who sent her home last night? Did something happen that she didn¡¯t know about? ¡°Mom¡­ He¡¯s really not my uncle.¡± Zuo Yue stood there dumbly for a long time before she managed to squeeze out a sentence. However, this sentence made Xu Yuan¡¯s expression turn even uglier. ¡°Are you really crazy?¡± Xu Yuan frowned.¡± Chengfeng¡¯s act of sending you back personally has already scared me. Fortunately, Chengfeng told me that he would personally send you back and told us to watch over you and not let you run around again. Only then did I realize that it was still your one-sided wish. You little girl, it¡¯s already been three years and you¡¯re still¡­¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Zuo Yue retorted loudly. Did he leave or not? Why did he leave? Tell me! I beg you, don¡¯t hurt me with these words again! I have no idea what happened! He clearly said that he would accompany me back and tell you the truth about my background. He wanted the two of us to be together openly.¡± At this moment, Father Zuo walked over. When he heard Zuo Yue¡¯s words, he immediately looked at Xu Yuan.¡±Let Zuo Yue go back to her room first. The two of us can talk about Xu Chengfeng first.¡± Mother Zuo nodded and turned around with a worried expression. Zuo Yue quickly reached out to grab Xu Yuan¡¯s hand.¡±¡±Mom! Mom, tell me, you guys are just joking, right? It¡¯s just because you found out that Xu Chengfeng is not related to me by blood and that the two of us really want to be together. You and Dad are deliberately making fun of me, right?¡± Xu Yuan suddenly looked at her worriedly. She raised her hand and held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand.¡±Child, I know that you have deep feelings for Chengfeng. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have gone to look for him after such a long time. However, Chengfeng personally sent you back this time and even made it clear that he wanted us to keep an eye on you. Is he worried that something might happen to you? Is that why you asked us to keep an eye on you?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes widened. What are you talking about? There¡¯s nothing wrong with my mind! Everything I said is true!¡± ¡°What background? What blood relation? In order to get close to Chengfeng, you even dared to lie to us?¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s expression turned serious.¡±¡±Since you said that your mind was not affected by the stimulation, you better be normal and speak properly! Isn¡¯t it just a man, and a man you can¡¯t be with in this lifetime? What¡¯s there to continue chasing?!¡± It was so chaotic! It was too chaotic! Zuo Yue suddenly could not speak. She only looked at the genuine disappointment and sadness in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes. Then, she looked up at the anger and warning in Father Zuo¡¯s eyes. It seemed that her parents had found out that she had done something wrong. When she was young, her parents finally came to see her despite their busy schedule. This was their expression. After a long time, she managed to sort out the situation in front of her. Although she did not know what happened to Xu Chengfeng and did not understand why she was suddenly locked up in the Zuo family and could not go out, she only asked in confusion,¡±Mom, did Xu Chengfeng say anything?¡± ¡°No, he only told us to keep an eye on you and not let you leave the Zuo family.¡±Father Zuo walked over and said. Zuo Yue¡¯s face turned pale.¡± He didn¡¯t show you the DNA proof?¡± He didn¡¯t tell you about his background?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyelids twitched when she heard that. She asked in confusion,¡±What do you know about your background? What DNA proof?¡± ¡°..¡±Zuo Yue looked at her parents in a daze. Seeing the doubt and worry in their eyes, she gritted her teeth and turned to look in the direction of the main hall. Suddenly, she ran in that direction without caring about their obstruction. She ran into the main hall, but Xu Chengfeng was nowhere to be seen. Did he suddenly return to Boston last night and bring her back to Los Angeles just to send her back to the Zuo family? If it wasn¡¯t for some special circumstances, he would never have insisted on letting her go back to the Zuo family. Was it because he knew that she would never go back to Los Angeles alone if she didn¡¯t see him, so he came back to send her off? What was going on? Why? Zuo Yue turned around anxiously with red eyes. Suddenly, her stomach churned again and she almost vomited. She held her stomach and when her parents came over to help her, she shook off their hands and ran back. As she ran, she took out her phone and called Xu Chengfeng. Chapter 1187 - Chapter 1187: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (272) Chapter 1187: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (272) As expected, no one picked up the phone. Xu Chengfeng sent her back to the Zuo family, but he suddenly disappeared. Just like how he had suddenly appeared in Boston yesterday without informing her, he had come and gone quickly. He had mysteriously disappeared before her eyes. Zuo Yue called him a few times but no one picked up. She was so angry that she stood there and sent him a text message, but the content was only three words. [Why?] After the text message was sent out, it was as if there was no response. Zuo Yue stood in front of the door with tears in her eyes and kept sending the same message. Why? Why? Why? Why? He had said that he would never leave her behind again. He had said that unless he died, he would definitely hurt her again and would never let her get hurt again. Why did he suddenly say that he was going to leave, and send her back to the Zuo family in such a hurry without even leaving a word? He knew that once she returned to the Zuo family and said those words to his parents, it would be harder for her to leave the Zuo family than to ascend to the heavens! Why did you send her back? The phone call could not be connected, and there was no reply to the message. Zuo Yue leaned against the door and felt that everything in front of her seemed to be even more desperate than three years ago. Three years ago, she was really in despair because she felt that they could not be together. However, the despair now was because she could clearly be together, clearly in love, clearly knowing that he was in danger in Russia, clearly knowing that the reason why he sent her back must not be simple, but she could not ask for any reason. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?0¦Í?¦Ï.?¦Ï The matter with the Xu Corporation had yet to be resolved. Since Xu Chengfeng had not announced his family background or brought up the matter of DNA and blood relations personally, it would be useless for her to explain anything to her parents or others. Although it would arouse their suspicion, it would most likely be like just now, to make her mother think that there was something wrong with her mind. Yes, falling in love with her uncle was already a mental problem. If she said that she was not related by blood, her parents would probably take her to the psychiatrist. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red as she stared at her phone screen. In the end, she leaned against the door and slid weakly to the ground. Xu Yuan and Father Zuo came over and helped her up.¡±Why are you so stubborn? Chengfeng has already personally sent you back. Don¡¯t you understand? Ah?¡± ¡± Mom, don¡¯t say it anymore. I beg you, I beg you, don¡¯t say it anymore¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s head was about to explode. She closed her eyes and turned her face away.¡±I beg you, don¡¯t say anything¡­¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xu Yuan looked at her, then turned to look at Father Zuo, whose eyes were filled with anger.¡±Forget it. Send Zuo Yue back to her room first. I¡¯ll call Chengfeng later to talk.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly smiled. She turned to Xu Yuan and said with certainty,¡±¡±You won¡¯t be able to find him.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes paused and she turned to look at her.¡±¡±Zuo Yue?¡± ¡°He¡¯s not hiding from me. Something must have happened to him. I can¡¯t find him, and you won¡¯t be able to find him from now on.¡±Zuo Yue muttered a few words before she went upstairs with red eyes. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s back as if she was a ghost, Xu Yuan also felt that something was not right. Chengfeng suddenly sent Zuo Yue back but did not say anything. He only told them to look after Zuo Yue and left without any explanation. They felt that something was amiss, and now Zuo Yue¡¯s attitude was even more fishy. ¡°Chengfeng¡¯s matter is indeed a little suspicious, but he sent Zuo Yue back and left those words before he left. He should be thinking about Zuo Yue. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have sent Zuo Yue back to us.¡±Father Zuo said softly. Xu Yuan sighed and shook her head.¡± There hasn¡¯t been any news about Zuo Yue¡¯s Chengfeng recently. I guessed that this child might have some connection with Chengfeng again. I didn¡¯t expect Chengfeng to personally send Zuo Yue back¡­¡± ¡°Xu Chengfeng is your younger brother. Based on your understanding of him, why do you think he left without explaining anything after sending Zuo Yue back today?¡±Father Zuo asked softly. ¡± How would I know? My understanding of Chengfeng, perhaps¡­¡± Xu Yuan paused for a moment.¡± At this point, Xu Yuan turned back to look at Zuo Yue¡¯s room. The door was already closed, and Zuo Yue¡¯s figure could not be seen. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s anxious expression made Xu Yuan frown.¡±¡± Three years ago, I had a conversation with Chengfeng. At that time, he probably revealed some of his situation to me. Other than the CHF Group, there were other factors that prevented him from getting out of Russia¡­¡± Father Zuo¡¯s expression changed.¡± Xu Yuan nodded. Father Zuo¡¯s gaze turned even more serious.¡± Don¡¯t let Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng get too close in the future. No matter how Zuo Yue¡¯s emotions are now, let her and Xu Chengfeng completely cut off their relationship as soon as possible.¡±¡± Xu Yuan did not say much. She had already tried to do this three years ago, but she never expected that Xu Chengfeng would personally send Zuo Yue back three years later. And what Zuo Yue said just now¡­ Bloodline? Family background? Based on her understanding of her daughter, she knew that no matter how willful Zuo Yue was, she would not really say such baseless nonsense. However, Zuo Yue had fallen in love with her uncle after all and was crazy for love. It was impossible for her to say such a lie in an attempt to be with Xu Chengfeng. However, Zuo Yue had just mentioned DNA. Chengfeng had very little contact with the Xu family over the years, and even less contact with her. Other than three years ago when he had no choice but to return to the Xu family because of his father¡¯s death and was eventually forced to inherit the Xu family¡¯s assets, Xu Chengfeng indeed did not have any sense of belonging to Los Angeles. ¡°Miss Sun! Miss Sun, what are you doing?¡± Xu Yuan and Father Zuo were just about to leave when they suddenly heard Mother Wang¡¯s panicked cry from inside. They looked at each other in shock and quickly turned around to rush back. When he opened the door, he saw Zuo Yue secretly climb up the window and jump out. Although Zuo Yue did not live high up, it was still on the second floor. If he jumped down from here, he would at least sprain his ankle or hurt his leg! Wang Ma had already pounced over and hugged Zuo Yue tightly, shouting non-stop,¡±Miss Sun! It was too dangerous! You can¡¯t jump!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Yuan and Father Zuo quickly went forward and pulled Zuo Yue back with Mother Wang. As soon as she was dragged back to the window, Zuo Yue staggered and sat on the carpet. She lowered her head without saying a word. She did not cry or make a fuss. She remained silent as if she could not explain anything. No matter what she said, she would be misunderstood by them. It was better not to say anything. ¡°Wretched girl! Are you really crazy? Why did he jump out of the window? Wasn¡¯t he fine just now?¡± Father Zuo said angrily. Chapter 1188 - Chapter 1188: Asking the Moon on the Wind (273) Chapter 1188: Asking the Moon on the Wind (273) ¡°I want to go out.¡± Zuo Yue only raised her eyes to look at them after a long time. Her eyes were neither servile nor overbearing, but there was a little uneasiness in her parents ¡®eyes. Xu Chengfeng¡¯s move was too ruthless. By sending her back personally, he had blocked her way out of the Zuo family. Her parents would never let her go before they understood what had happened and whether she was really in danger. ¡°Your mother and I were planning to find Xu Chengfeng to ask him what exactly happened and see if there was a need to keep a close watch on you. But now, looking at you, you actually jumped out of the window without caring about the height of the second floor.¡±Father Zuo glared at her angrily. What was going on?¡± Zuo Yue herself still did not know what was going on, so how was she going to explain? She was afraid that even she herself would not believe her own explanation. If he said a few more words, everything that had happened in Boston and Russia would probably become a dream that had never happened before. If she continued to explain, even the child in her stomach would probably become a rock that jumped out. How was she going to explain? She could not even see Xu Chengfeng now. He did not even reply to her messages. She should have told him that she was pregnant. That way, he might not have left. Perhaps he would not have forced her back to the Zuo family and abandoned her like this. But what would happen if her parents found out that she was pregnant? Seeing the worry and anger in her parents ¡®eyes, Zuo Yue instinctively thought of the feeling of the cold instrument used for abortion entering her body. She shivered and suddenly didn¡¯t want to be surrounded by her parents and Mother Wang like this. She turned around and threw herself on the bed with red eyes. She pulled the blanket and covered herself under it, including her head. She said in a muffled voice,¡±You guys can leave. I won¡¯t dance anymore. I¡¯ll be alone for a while¡­¡± ¡°If you dare to cause trouble again, Zuo Yue, I will send you to that three-story attic in the backyard. You should know what that attic is used for.¡±After Father Zuo finished speaking coldly, he grabbed Xu Yuan¡¯s hand and left. Xu Yuan was still looking at Zuo Yue worriedly. Father Zuo gave Xu Yuan a look, signaling Zuo Yue to be quiet for a while. Wang Ma followed them out. The room returned to silence. Zuo Yue curled up into a ball under the blanket. Her mind was in a mess, and it was all about Xu Chengfeng¡¯s figure. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.?¦Ï She suddenly poked her head out from under the blanket and took a look at her phone. She realized that the messages she sent were all unread, and two of them were directly indicated by the system as a failure. ***** That night. Wang Ma knocked on the door and came in. She saw Zuo Yue sleeping on the bed, but there were still some tears at the corner of her eyes. She immediately went over to help her wipe the corner of her eyes. Zuo Yue frowned in her dream and suddenly turned her head. She did not know what she saw in her dream, but she kept muttering,¡±¡±Don¡¯t¡­Don¡¯t go¡­ Don¡¯t leave me alone¡­Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Miss Sun.¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a lively child. How did you change so much in the past few years?¡± Wang Ma said with heartache. This young man¡¯s feelings are indeed hurtful. He has turned our happy boy into this state¡­¡± ¡± Actually, Old Master Zuo and Madam are not heartless. I¡¯m not sure what Madam means, but Madam said that you should be alone for a while. She also asked her family members to walk around occasionally to pay attention to your movements and safety. You have to understand their good intentions. After all, they are your parents. Moreover, Madam has already planned to hand over some of the matters in the company to others to take care of and focus on accompanying you at home¡­¡± ¡°When you were young, didn¡¯t you wish that Madam could accompany you at home more? Now, Madam is afraid that you will be sad, so she specially took time out to accompany you¡­¡± ¡± That Mr. Xu is Madam¡¯s younger brother, right? I don¡¯t know what happened between the two of you, but Miss Sun, Old Mr. Zuo said that you need to be quiet and wake up, but you look like you¡¯re possessed. I can see that you¡¯re very sad¡­¡± ¡°Sigh.¡± After Wang Ma wiped the tears from the corner of Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes, she felt very uncomfortable because she had raised Zuo Yue. She couldn¡¯t help but raise her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes and get up to go out. Zuo Yue opened her eyes at this moment.¡± Wang Ma, I¡¯m really clear-headed. My parents misunderstood me. But I¡­¡± She sat up and said,¡±I don¡¯t know how to explain it to them. Some things are just words that I say alone. It doesn¡¯t make sense.¡±¡± Mother Wang turned around and quickly walked back.¡±Miss Sun, you¡¯re awake? You haven¡¯t eaten anything for the whole day. Madam asked me to make your favorite pork ribs and some Chinese dishes just now. They¡¯re all hot now. Eat quickly.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡± As Zuo Yue spoke, she gently touched her stomach. She thought of the baby in her stomach. No matter why Xu Chengfeng had sent her back so cruelly and then left, she could not let the baby lack nutrition as soon as it fell into her stomach. After all, she still wanted this baby¡­ Thinking of this, Zuo Yue didn¡¯t say anything more. Just as Wang Ma was about to go forward and persuade her to continue eating, she had already walked over. However, because she had cried in the room for the whole day, she still felt dizzy even after a short nap. She swayed and sat down at the table. She picked up the cutlery and picked up a piece of pork rib, which she had loved the most in the Zuo family. She put it to her mouth and smelled the fragrance of the pork rib. This familiar feeling made her stomach churn again. She suppressed the feeling of disgust and put down the ribs. Then, she picked up another bowl of soup and took a small sip. ¡°Miss Sun, is it because the pork ribs today are not fragrant enough? Or had Mother Wang¡¯s cooking skills deteriorated because of her age? Why didn¡¯t you eat the ribs just now?¡± Wang Ma walked over and asked softly. Zuo Yue shook her head.¡± No, it¡¯s just that I suddenly don¡¯t feel like eating pork ribs. It looks delicious, but I don¡¯t have much of an appetite now.¡±¡±Zuo Yue explained in a low voice,¡± Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve cried for too long and I¡¯m not feeling well now. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t feel like eating meat.¡±¡± ¡°Is that so? Then I made some salted shortbread. It¡¯s still warm. I¡¯ll bring it over for you in a while. You can drink some soup and eat some salted shortbread. I¡¯ll also make you a plate of light tofu.¡± Zuo Yue nodded.¡± Yes, Mother Wang. Don¡¯t tell my parents that I can¡¯t eat pork ribs.¡±¡± Although Wang Ma was puzzled, she still nodded.¡±Alright.¡± Chapter 1189 - Chapter 1189: Asking the Moon on the Wind (274) Chapter 1189: Asking the Moon on the Wind (274) They lost contact for another week. Zuo Yue also locked herself in her bedroom in the Zuo family and did not go out for a week. As time dragged on, she was afraid that she did not know much about pregnancy. She was not even sure how many months it would take for her stomach to get bigger. According to the results of her previous check-up at the hospital, her belly should be about one and a half months old now, but why was it still flat and not showing any signs of swelling? She went online to check and found that some people would show their pregnancy in two months, while others would only show their pregnancy in three or four months. She was only relieved when she saw that there would not be any signs of pregnancy on the surface after one and a half months. However, if she continued to drag it out like this, if her stomach grew bigger and bigger after half a month, her parents would probably find out very soon. If she did not clarify that she was not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood, her parents would probably think that she was pregnant with a monster and would not let her give birth to it. They might even force her to go to the hospital for an abortion. Recently, she had been calling and texting Xu Chengfeng and all the people around him who might be with him every day, but no one replied to her or answered her calls. Most of them were either switched off or couldn¡¯t be connected. Even if she asked Mother Wang to help her get a few new account cards, the result would be the same if she called these unfamiliar numbers. They weren¡¯t just avoiding her on purpose, but they really couldn¡¯t reach her no matter what phone number they used. Zuo Yue sat on the bed and looked at her phone screen. Recently, she had been too anxious and had some blisters on her mouth. It hurt when she touched it. She had not eaten much since last night. From her eyes, she did not seem to be very energetic. After Xu Yuan entered the door, she saw that Zuo Yue was still the same. She walked over and sat by the bed. She raised her hand and was about to fiddle with Zuo Yue¡¯s hair that was hanging on her shoulder, but Zuo Yue turned her head slightly to avoid her mother¡¯s hand. At the same time, she looked out the window and did not look at her mother who was sitting by the bed. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Yuan saw that Zuo Yue had become more and more isolated in the past few days, and she could not help but say with heartache,¡±¡±Chengfeng hasn¡¯t contacted us since he sent you back. Your father and I tried to contact him, but we couldn¡¯t. Just like you said, he suddenly avoided all of us and no one could find him.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused, then she turned to look at her.¡±¡±Since my words are true, can you believe my other words?¡± ¡°What words?¡± Xu Yuan looked at her gently.¡± You¡¯re my daughter. Of course I believe you. But you¡¯re too emotional in a relationship that shouldn¡¯t exist. Sometimes, I just don¡¯t want you to be too stubborn. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m really not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood, Mom.¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í¨À0.§ã¦Ï The gentleness in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes was once again replaced by seriousness, and she said helplessly,¡±¡±Mom can still believe other things you say, but don¡¯t say anything about this. You¡¯re my biological daughter. Don¡¯t you think I don¡¯t know that the two of you are not related by blood? If you are not related by blood, then you are not my child.¡± ¡°No, Mom, didn¡¯t I tell you? Xu Chengfeng is not a child of the Xu family. He is not the child who was taken away by the wrong person in the hospital back then. He is not¡­¡± ¡°Yes or no, I can¡¯t verify it.¡±Xu Yuan was still looking at her seriously.¡± Your grandfather was the one who confirmed it back then. Moreover, your grandfather has already passed away. Your grandmother has also passed away many years ago. How do you want to verify these words? Moreover, Chengfeng is now the person in charge of the Xu Corporation. If you were to say those nonsense to the Xu Corporation, do you know how much trouble it would cause?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t tell anyone. I won¡¯t tell anyone. It¡¯s because I have too many concerns that he didn¡¯t come back immediately after finding out the truth about his background. However, he really has a DNA certificate. It¡¯s a blood sample that he obtained before Grandpa passed away¡­¡± Xu Yuan directly patted her arm gently, indicating that she should stop spouting such nonsense. She did not intend to continue listening to Zuo Yue¡¯s explanation. She only said gently,¡±¡±You¡¯ve graduated from Boston. I¡¯ll send someone over to King Corporation to take care of your internship. I¡¯ll remove your internship and replace it with a nominal internship at Zuo Corporation. This way, it won¡¯t affect you much, but you have to stay at the Zuo family for the time being.¡± ¡°Mom, why won¡¯t you listen to me? Everything I said is true! I¡¯m not talking nonsense!¡± ¡± If I hadn¡¯t seen you frantically trying to keep the traces of Chengfeng three years ago, and if I hadn¡¯t seen you frequently daydreaming in the villa where he used to live, and if I hadn¡¯t seen you deeply in love with this relationship, Mom might have really believed the nonsense you said just now. However, Zuo Yue, Chengfeng¡¯s background is not a topic that can be casually made up. There are too many things involved. Do you think Mom should believe the nonsense you said when you were heartbroken, or should she believe your grandfather¡¯s judgment back then?¡± ¡°Mom¡­!¡± Zuo Yue was so angry that she gritted her teeth.¡±What I said is true! Every word is true!¡± If her mother still did not believe her, then she must not let her family know that she was pregnant. But how long could she hide it? How long would she be locked up in the Zuo family? ¡°Be good and stay at home. You don¡¯t have to be busy with your studies now, and you don¡¯t have to go out for an internship immediately. You just have to stay at home and adjust your mood.¡±Xu Yuan patted her head gently.¡±¡±By the way, Anhao has also graduated. She seems to have returned to China.¡± Zuo Yue had no time to care about Anhao and Zuo Hancheng¡¯s affairs. She knew how her brother had spent his years in China anyway. She also knew that Anhao¡¯s return to China and A City was equivalent to walking into a trap. Zuo Hancheng had set up such a big net just to capture Anhao, so she did not need to worry at all. He did not need to guess to know that Anhao would return to the United States with Zuo Hancheng soon. However, the happiness of others could not be linked to her own happiness. No matter how happy others were, they could not bring Xu Chengfeng back to her. Zuo Yue turned her head away and did not speak. At this moment, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. Her words were clearly reasonable and well-founded. She was only missing a DNA test from Xu Chengfeng, but her mother chose not to believe her. Did he really not believe it, or was he willing to believe it, or did he really think that he was crazy? Chapter 1190 - Chapter 1190: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (275) Chapter 1190: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (275) She really wished that she had a mental problem. It was better than facing so many cold and thorough people in reality. ¡°If you¡¯re focused on the relationship between my brother and Anhao now, you can take advantage of the fact that you don¡¯t have to go to the company and fly back to China to take a look.¡±Zuo Yue choked. Xu Yuan frowned and turned her head to look at Zuo Yue.¡±¡±What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really think I¡¯m that free? If I wasn¡¯t worried about you, I wouldn¡¯t have temporarily pulled away from all my work and stayed at home with you all day.¡± ¡°Also, regarding your brother and Anhao, I believe that your brother knows what he¡¯s doing. He knows how to find his wife, but you¡¯re different. You¡¯re still confused.¡± Confused? If falling in love with Xu Chengfeng was really a muddle-headed thing, she would rather stay muddle-headed for the rest of her life. Seeing that Zuo Yue had stopped talking and was sitting on the bed in a daze, Xu Yuan leaned over and looked at her lovingly.¡±¡±If you¡¯re too bored at home, Mom can accompany you out for a walk. You can go shopping or have coffee, but you have to promise not to leave my sight.¡± ¡°Forget it, I don¡¯t want to go anywhere.¡±Zuo Yue bent her legs and hugged them as she leaned against the headboard. Seeing her listless appearance, Xu Yuan sighed but did not say anything else.¡±I¡¯ll come back in the afternoon to accompany you. Your grandfather has returned from vacation with his old comrades these two days. I heard that he wasn¡¯t feeling well on the way back. I might have to accompany your grandfather to the hospital.¡± Zuo Yue sat there as if she did not hear him. She did not nod or say anything. Xu Yuan looked at her for a while. Although her heart ached, she knew that it would take time to heal the wounds in her heart from what had happened three years ago and three years later, so she did not force her anymore. She turned around and walked out, giving Zuo Yue some quiet space. ***** Half a month later¡­ ¡°I heard that Anhao has moved to the apartment in Han City. I think this young couple will be able to return to the United States soon.¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï Because of Old Master Zuo¡¯s return, the house was much livelier. They had to gather together for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No matter how much Zuo Yue avoided it, she had no choice but to come out and eat dinner with everyone because Old Master Zuo was angry. In order to lighten up the atmosphere, Xu Yuan started to find a topic to talk about. She started to talk about Zuo Hancheng and Anhao. However, the old man did not say anything because he did not have a good impression of Anhao. Zuo Yue also kept her head lowered and ate quietly without interrupting. In the end, it turned out that Xu Yuan and Father Zuo were constantly discussing Anhao and Zuo Hancheng. They were even discussing that they had been calling to urge them to come back to the United States as soon as possible. Zuo Yue had always treated herself as an invisible person. She only wanted to get up and leave after eating. However, just as she was about to put down her bowl, Old Master Zuo suddenly put down his cutlery and looked at Zuo Yue.¡±Why is Zuo Yue so quiet?¡± ¡± Huh?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly looked up.¡± Ah?¡± ¡°Usually, you¡¯re the one who likes to make threatening gestures at home. You always have all kinds of topics to talk about at the dinner table. I remember that three or two years ago, you were the one who often found topics to make everyone happy at the dinner table.¡± On the other side, Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed for a moment, but she still smiled.¡±Dad, Zuo Yue is my child after all. It¡¯s normal for her to inherit some of my humor. Can¡¯t I be more humorous too?¡± Old Master Zuo glanced at Xu Yuan and did not say anything. He turned to Zuo Yue and said,¡±¡±I suddenly realized that you¡¯re becoming quieter and quieter. Sometimes, I almost forgot that you still exist at home. I always thought that you were studying in Boston, but you¡¯re actually sitting here.¡± ¡°Grandpa.¡± Zuo Yue put down the cutlery in her hand and said,¡± I¡¯ve just grown up. There aren¡¯t as many topics to talk about as when I was young.¡±¡± ¡°Grow up?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve grown up and become sensible?¡± The old man snorted. I think your brother is already 30 years old. He¡¯s not that mature yet. Isn¡¯t the things he does the opposite of me? Nothing has ever gone my way. Back then, I almost died of anger when I married Gu Anhao. It wasn¡¯t easy for us to break up, but now I¡¯m actually looking for that little girl again.¡± Zuo Yue frowned when she heard that. Suddenly, she let out a sigh of relief and said unhappily,¡±¡±Don¡¯t tell me that we juniors can only be considered mature and sensible if we satisfy the elders?¡± Hearing the impulse in Zuo Yue¡¯s words, Old Master Zuo glanced at her coldly.¡±¡±What¡¯s wrong? Are you still going to explode? Gu Anhao and Hancheng aren¡¯t here, so stop showing off.¡± ¡°Grandpa, it¡¯s really not about my sister-in-law and my brother now.¡±Zuo Yue said angrily,¡±If you knew who the man I like is, I¡¯m afraid this matter wouldn¡¯t be as big as mine.¡±¡± ¡°Zuo Yue, stop talking. Can¡¯t you tell that your grandfather is concerned about you? When did your grandfather ever talk to you like this?¡±Father Zuo secretly glared at her, hinting at her to keep her mouth shut. ¡°Yeah, she cares about me and even scolds my brother and sister-in-law at the same time. Isn¡¯t it because my sister-in-law¡¯s background is unknown and she doesn¡¯t have a good family background compared to the granddaughter of the Cheng family that Grandpa likes? Wasn¡¯t it just that Sister-in-law hadn¡¯t been obedient by Grandpa¡¯s side since she was young? It¡¯s enough that you like Chengxin. Why do you care about our grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law?¡±¡± That¡¯s right, Grandpa.¡± Zuo Yue said while laughing coldly.¡± I¡¯ve fallen in love with someone that none of you should have fallen in love with. You should be even angrier, right?¡±¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Yuan also looked at her sternly. Zuo Yue ignored him. She had long disliked her grandfather¡¯s bad temper. Did he think that his entire family¡¯s children and grandchildren were just soldiers in front of him decades ago, so he had to scold and scold them like this? He could do whatever he wanted with his grandson¡¯s marriage, but he always liked to interfere. Since he liked to be angry so much, he might as well add fuel to the fire. Even if he was willful, it was better for the grandfather and grandson to be willful together. Let¡¯s see who could anger the other to death! ¡°What person you shouldn¡¯t like?¡± He finally noticed the unusual tone in Father Zuo and Mother Zuo¡¯s words. Old Master Zuo¡¯s attention was no longer on the matter of being angry with Zuo Yue. Instead, he turned his eyes and looked at Father Zuo and Mother Zuo with a questioning gaze. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. Zuo Yue has been in a relationship recently, but because we didn¡¯t allow it, we locked her at home and didn¡¯t let her go out.¡±Xu Yuan said with a smile. Zuo Yue sneered and turned to leave without explaining. Chapter 1191 - Chapter 1191: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (276) Chapter 1191: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (276) ¡°What did Zuo Yue mean by what she said just now?¡±Old Master Zuo narrowed his eyes.¡± Which family¡¯s kid did she fall in love with?¡± There was obviously something hidden in his words just now. Did you think that I couldn¡¯t tell?¡± ¡°Dad.¡± Mr. Zuo said softly,¡± The children will have their own blessings. After all, there is a huge generation gap between you and Hancheng and Zuo Yue. So, let these children feel their own feelings and bear it themselves. You can enjoy your old age in peace and don¡¯t worry about these things anymore.¡±¡± ¡°You make it sound nice. If I didn¡¯t worry, would you have married such a good wife like Xu Yuan?¡±Old Master Zuo rolled his eyes at his son. Xu Yuan coughed lightly. Father Zuo glanced at his wife and smiled without saying anything. After all, not everyone could tolerate Old Master Zuo¡¯s temper. After so many years, they had long been used to Old Master Zuo¡¯s attitude. No matter what, they had to tolerate Old Master Zuo. ¡± Also, Xu Yuan, keep an eye on Han City. See if Gu Anhao is still with Han City. If they are still together, I can give Cheng Family an explanation so that they won¡¯t keep their children waiting for Han City.¡±¡± ¡°Dad, you really did something wrong. Hancheng and Anhao are a couple. They quarreled and were separated for two to three years. You shouldn¡¯t have taken advantage of this loophole.¡±Xu Yuan sighed. ¡°What loophole did I take advantage of?¡± The old man said unhappily,¡± I haven¡¯t even returned to the Zuo family in Hancheng for the past three years. I can¡¯t get in even if I want to.¡±¡± After saying that, Old Master Zuo looked in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction and sighed after a moment.¡±¡±Speaking of which, Zuo Yue is already in her twenties. She indeed no longer looks like a child.¡± At this moment, Xu Yuan really did not want the old man to focus his attention on Zuo Yue. After all, Zuo Yue¡¯s mood had been too bad recently. She could not let both grandfather and grandson be willful together. Zuo Yue was still young and it was fine if she was hurt. However, if the old man knew that her granddaughter was together with her uncle, he would probably be furious. ¡°Dad, I¡¯ll call Hancheng later and see if he can come back soon.¡±Xu Yuan casually found a topic to divert the old man¡¯s attention.¡±Speaking of which, Hancheng contacted me before and also planned to bring Anhao back. It should be soon.¡± When the old man heard about Zuo Hancheng, he turned to look at her but did not say anything. Although he was unhappy, it was obvious that he still hoped that Zuo Hancheng would come back. He held back the curses that were on the tip of his tongue. Zuo Yue quickly walked back to her room. She knew that if she had really told him about what had happened just now, her grandfather would probably be furious. However, he had been making up stories about her brother and sister-in-law behind her back. This old man had really not been taught a lesson in his life. He was always so arrogant. He thought that everything in the family, big and small, including the children¡¯s feelings, could be controlled by him.

If you¡¯re really not feeling well, do you want to tell Madam and Old Master Zuo that I¡¯ll go to the hospital with you?¡±When Wang Ma walked in, she saw Zuo Yue opening her bag and taking out a pill to eat. She thought Zuo Yue was feeling unwell and quickly went over to ask with concern. Hearing Wang Ma¡¯s voice, Zuo Yue hurriedly put away the medicine box in shock. She zipped up her bag and threw it aside. What she had taken wasn¡¯t medicine. It was a box of folate that the doctor had prescribed for her after she had been diagnosed with pregnancy. It seemed to be a nutrient that had to be supplemented every day in the early stages of pregnancy. She had secretly taken one pill every day when there was no one in the room, but she hadn¡¯t expected Mother Wang to find out today. ¡°Mother Wang, I¡¯m fine, and my stomach isn¡¯t very uncomfortable. Maybe I drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of meat when I participated in some activities in Boston not long ago, which caused me to feel nauseous when I see these things recently. Don¡¯t worry about me. Just go and accompany them. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡±Zuo Yue said with a smile. ¡°How can I not worry?¡± Wang Ma sighed. Old Master doesn¡¯t need me to serve him. Madam asked me to focus on you recently. Moreover, your complexion has been so bad recently¡­¡± Zuo Yue couldn¡¯t speak with a piece of folate in her mouth, so she took the opportunity to turn around and take a sip of water before smiling at Wang Ma. Wang Ma felt that her actions were a little strange, but she didn¡¯t expose her disguise. She just smiled at her.¡±Miss Sun, if you¡¯re not feeling well, you must tell me. You¡¯re so young, so don¡¯t endure everything. No matter what, there are elders to help you weigh it.¡± Zuo Yue nodded. She had thrown her bag in the wrong position and it would easily attract Wang Ma¡¯s attention. She only hoped that Wang Ma would go out quickly. Usually, when Mother Wang said these words, Zuo Yue would be very quiet and not make a sound, as if she did not hear them. But now, she nodded repeatedly and had an unnatural smile on her face. Mother Wang looked at her for a while without batting an eyelid. She did not continue to nag at her and turned to leave. But after walking out of Zuo Yue¡¯s bedroom, Wang Ma still felt that Zuo Yue was a little strange. If she didn¡¯t tell Madam, what would happen if she delayed something? It was better to go and tell Madam to come and take the note. ******* Two hours later, it was almost nine o¡¯clock at night. Mother Wang would not come over at this time. Zuo Yue usually took a shower at this time and was ready to go to bed. The sound of water came from the bathroom and the bedroom was very quiet. There was a knock on the bedroom door, but it wasn¡¯t loud. Xu Yuan knocked a few times from outside before pushing the door open and walking in. She heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and confirmed that Zuo Yue was taking a shower. She immediately remembered what Wang Ma had said to her before and her eyes searched the room. She saw the bag that was placed safely on the single sofa in the bedroom not far away. Then, she saw a thin coat that was intentionally or unintentionally covered on the bag. Xu Yuan walked over. He picked up his jacket and looked at the bag on the sofa. He opened the zipper of the bag. Although rummaging through Zuo Yue¡¯s bag wasn¡¯t something that was open and aboveboard, her daughter had been behaving abnormally recently. After hearing what Mother Wang had said today, Xu Yuan was really worried. Her hand casually rummaged through her bag and suddenly found a pink medicine box. Xu Yuan¡¯s brows paused and she took out the medicine box. When she saw the name on the medicine box, the doubt in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes instantly turned into stagnation. The sound of water running in the bathroom turned off at the same time, and the sound of retching could be heard in the bathroom. Xu Yuan held the medicine box in her hand and turned her eyes abruptly in the direction of the bathroom door. Chapter 1192 - Chapter 1192: Asking the Moon on the Wind (277) Chapter 1192: Asking the Moon on the Wind (277) Zuo Yue had just finished showering. The moment she wrapped herself in the towel, she did not know if it was because the steam in the bathroom was too hot, but for some reason, her vision turned black. A wave of nausea invaded her, and she had no choice but to lean over and retch. He hadn¡¯t been eating much recently, and eight out of ten times he vomited, nothing came out. It was true retching, and it was the same now. It was disgusting, but he couldn¡¯t vomit anything. She was feeling uncomfortable. After vomiting twice, she lifted her still wet hair and suddenly heard the sound of the bathroom door being pulled open. Startled, she looked up and met Xu Yuan¡¯s gaze. She staggered and quickly leaned back against the wall.¡±Mom¡­?¡± Xu Yuan stared at her for a long time before she slowly raised her hand and raised the medicine box in her hand. Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes reddened when she saw the box of folate in her hand. She instinctively covered her stomach, afraid that her mother would do something to hurt the child in her stomach. Seeing Zuo Yue instinctively protect her stomach, the anger in Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes gradually burned.¡±¡±Whose child?¡± She clearly knew the answer, but she would rather Zuo Yue have sex with any man other than Xu Chengfeng than to have sex with someone else! Even if the man who had sex with Zuo Yue was just an ordinary male classmate without any family background! It definitely could not be Xu Chengfeng! Zuo Yue gripped the towel in front of her stomach tightly and leaned against the bathroom wall for a long time before she came back to her senses and said,¡±Mom¡­ Let me explain¡­¡± ¡°Let me ask you, whose child are you carrying?¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes were also bloodshot, and her voice was raised several times. Zuo Yue had never seen her mother so angry before. All the courage she had before suddenly disappeared. Xu Chengfeng was not related to her by blood, and there was nothing wrong with the child¡¯s existence. However, under her mother¡¯s gaze, Zuo Yue actually felt that she had really done something wrong. She shrunk her neck and carefully looked at the obvious anger in her mother¡¯s eyes. After a long time, she said,¡±Do you think¡­ Whose child could it be¡­¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã? The answer that wasn¡¯t considered an answer completely crushed all of Xu Yuan¡¯s rationality. She took a step back and looked at Zuo Yue in disbelief. ¡°Mom.¡± Zuo Yue suddenly thought of something and quickly walked over. Just as Xu Yuan was about to turn around and leave, she rushed forward and knelt down beside her feet without caring about anything else. She pulled her sleeves tightly with both hands.¡±Mom! Don¡¯t be angry! Please don¡¯t be angry! I¡¯m really not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood. I¡¯m carrying a normal child, Mom! Please don¡¯t be angry¡­¡± ¡°What are you still doing?¡± Xu Yuan looked at her resentfully.¡±¡±You¡¯re actually eating folate? Do you want to keep this child? Do you want to give birth to a monster? Do you think that having children from close relatives is a joke? Even if you eat hundreds of boxes of this stuff, you won¡¯t be able to give birth to a normal child! Zuo Yue, are you trying to anger me to death?¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m really not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood. Our child is normal! Mom!¡± Zuo Yue knew that she would be misunderstood. She held Xu Yuan¡¯s hands tightly.¡± Mom, I beg you, don¡¯t tell Dad about this. He¡¯ll think too much. Believe me, our child is normal. Xu Chengfeng and I really didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue! That¡¯s your uncle!¡± Xu Yuan glared at her angrily.¡±What more terrifying story do you want to come up with? That¡¯s the son that your grandfather personally acknowledged! It couldn¡¯t be wrong! Why are you still crying to me? You two actually had sex! Xu Chengfeng actually! He actually¡­¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s face suddenly turned pale. She took two steps back and almost couldn¡¯t catch her breath. Zuo Yue was so frightened that she quickly hugged her tightly.¡±Mom¡­ Mom, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Zuo Yue was still wearing a bath towel and was staggering as she knelt on the ground and hugged her tightly. Xu Yuan looked at her with a headache and suddenly said,¡±¡±Go and put on your clothes! Let¡¯s go to the hospital! Now, go and get dressed!¡± ¡°No!¡± Zuo Yue was shocked. Mom, I¡¯m not going to the hospital!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve only taken 20 or so of this box of folate. It seems that you¡¯re not pregnant for long. If you go to the hospital to get rid of it earlier, it¡¯ll hurt you less! The longer you delay it, the more damage it will do to your body during the abortion!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to the hospital. I don¡¯t want to abort the child! Mom, you can¡¯t do this to me! I went through so much trouble to hide all of this just to protect my child. Mom, you can¡¯t do this!¡±Zuo Yue quickly let go of her legs and stood up to step back.¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to go, I¡¯m not going anywhere!¡± ¡°Do you really want to anger me to death?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes were red. She suddenly turned around and walked to the wardrobe. She took out a few clothes and threw them in front of Zuo Yue.¡±Hurry up and change your clothes! Go to the hospital immediately!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue! If you just like her, I can tolerate your short-term relationship mistakes, but I definitely can¡¯t tolerate your pregnancy! This child would not be healthy even if he was born! Even if I give birth, it will only harm you. You have to go to the hospital with me! If you don¡¯t want the whole family to know and worry about you, change your clothes and leave with me immediately! Let¡¯s go quietly. Only you and I will know about this. No third person will know!¡± Zuo Yue shook her head and kept retreating until she reached the wall. Seeing the determination in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes, Xu Yuan said with heartache,¡±¡± Zuo Yue, listen to me. I can¡¯t find Chengfeng now, and I can¡¯t ask him why he broke his promise to touch my daughter. The only thing I can do now is to protect you. I can¡¯t let you continue to be hurt. This relationship shouldn¡¯t exist, and I can¡¯t have this child. Just listen to Mom and go to the hospital with Mom, okay?¡± Zuo Yue still shook her head, but she was alone and helpless in the Zuo family. What could she do to protect herself and her child? ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t force me, mom.¡± Zuo Yue leaned against the wall and looked at her.¡± I beg you, don¡¯t force me. Don¡¯t force me to break up with my family because of this. Please tell me not to go out of the Zuo family¡¯s house. Okay, I¡¯ll listen. Xu Chengfeng told me to stay here. I can listen too, but this child can¡¯t do it. I can¡¯t let you touch him¡­¡± ¡°What child?¡± Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the door. Not only did Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body tremble, but even Xu Yuan was also suddenly in disbelief. She turned around and looked at Old Master Zuo who suddenly appeared outside Zuo Yue¡¯s room. When Old Master Zuo walked in and saw Zuo Yue¡¯s sorry state, he immediately frowned and said,¡±¡±Did you just take a shower? Why are you two crying here at night? What did Zuo Yue say just now? What child? Where did this child come from?¡± Chapter 1193 - Chapter 1193: [Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon](278) Chapter 1193: [Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon](278) Zuo Yue turned around to avoid the old man¡¯s gaze. Xu Yuan calmed herself down and turned around to walk out. However, before she left, she gave Zuo Yue a warning look. It meant that this matter could not be left unsettled so she had to be mentally prepared. Zuo Yue knew that her mother was doing this for her own good, but she could not believe that Xu Chengfeng was not the son of the Xu family. Her mother could not believe it no matter what. This made Zuo Yue feel uncomfortable and depressed from the bottom of her heart. While her mother was looking for an excuse to ask the old man to leave with her, Zuo Yue quickly ran over and closed the door. She turned around and leaned against the door, but she was panicking. ***** Although Xu Yuan had calmed the old man¡¯s doubts, he was still meticulous. It was obvious that Zuo Yue was not normal recently, and her parents seemed to be hiding something. In recent days, Zuo Yue¡¯s parents seemed to be in constant contact with some of the doctors that they had interacted with before. They did not know what they were researching. The old man would go to Zuo Yue¡¯s place to take a look from time to time, but Zuo Yue¡¯s room was closed every day. A week later, Zuo Yue and her mother quarreled again for some reason. Old Master Zuo could not hear anything from afar. He wanted to find time to ask Zuo Yue what was wrong with her, but Zuo Yue was suddenly locked up in the attic at the back by her father. Old Master Zuo had some impression of that attic. It seemed that when Zuo Yue made a mistake when she was young, her father would lock her up there and let her reflect on herself. The facilities inside were very complete and there was nothing unsafe. However, because no one usually went there, only a little girl was locked inside. Of course, it could intimidate people, so Zuo Yue always had a fear of the small attic behind. Now that she was so old, she still had some trauma over there. Normally, it was impossible to lock her up there again, but Father Zuo actually locked Zuo Yue up. Old Master Zuo couldn¡¯t get anything out of him, so he just observed for half a month. It wasn¡¯t until he found that a team of doctors came to the Zuo family¡¯s house to discuss something that he could get a general idea. It seemed to be about going to the attic to do some on-the-spot isolation and sterilization experiments, including various experiments and research on abortion surgery directly in the Zuo family. After hearing this, Grandpa Zuo stopped Xu Yuan who was about to go to the attic behind him when the doctors left. ¡°What have you two been doing recently? After Zuo Yue was locked up in the back, she went on a hunger strike several times. Although Xiao Wang tried to coax her to eat something, I heard that Zuo Yue¡¯s physical and mental state has been very poor recently. What happened to those doctors just now? What miscarriage? What abortion? Who¡¯s pregnant?¡± Xu Yuan stiffened. She did not expect the old man to hear all of this. She was on guard, but Zuo Yue refused to go to the hospital. There was no way to force her to go. She could only call the doctor to come to the house and think of a way to disinfect the room and take the opportunity to operate on Zuo Yue. However, no matter what, she could not avoid the old man who had always been suspicious. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.?? ¡°Dad, you don¡¯t have to interfere in this matter. In this era, the private lives of young people are chaotic. We will take care of Zuo Yue¡¯s matters. You don¡¯t have to worry about it at your age.¡±After Father Zuo walked through the door, he only left behind such an ambiguous sentence. ¡°Is Zuo Yue pregnant?¡± Old Master Zuo¡¯s face turned cold. Knowing that the old man would find out about this sooner or later, Father Zuo didn¡¯t say anything. After a while, he nodded. However, he couldn¡¯t reveal the identity of the child¡¯s father. He and Xu Yuan couldn¡¯t take the blow, let alone the old man. ¡°Madam! Madam! What should we do? Miss Sun still refuses to eat. She has been on a hunger strike a few times. If we don¡¯t let her leave the attic, I¡¯m afraid she will really continue to starve herself¡­¡± Wang Ma suddenly ran in. ¡°Absolute! If she doesn¡¯t eat, then let her continue to starve!¡± Father Zuo spoke before Xu Yuan, his eyes filled with anger and a stern look,¡±¡±She¡¯s already in her twenties, but she¡¯s still so muddle-headed. If she wants to be hungry, let her be. She doesn¡¯t care about her own health. If she continues to starve like this, I don¡¯t think the doctor will come. The bastard in her stomach will be gone in a few days!¡± ¡°But Miss Sun, she¡­¡± ¡°Ignore her, let her go hungry!¡± Father Zuo said coldly. Grandpa Zuo listened to the conversation. Although he was very dissatisfied with Zuo Yue¡¯s marriage, it was the first time he saw Father Zuo so angry. He had never seen this kid so angry at Hancheng and Zuo Yue. If it was just a small matter like getting pregnant before marriage, he would not be so angry. A few days later, he could still see the few servants that Mother Wang often took care of busy themselves, trying to get Zuo Yue to eat. However, after a week, Zuo Yue¡¯s hunger strike seemed to be for real. It was as if she was going to fight the Zuo family to the death. She refused to even drink a sip of water. Old Master Zuo was a little worried as he walked around Zuo Yue¡¯s attic a few times. However, she did not have the key to the attic. Recently, Father Zuo¡¯s temper had been very bad. As an old man, he could not even get a word in. Usually, he was only strict with his words to the children, but he did not expect his son to be even more ruthless than himself when he educated the children. Old Master Zuo sighed and went to the front hall. He felt that if this continued, his granddaughter might really die. He was about to go and tell Father Zuo to let Zuo Yue out so that she could eat something and stop being so stubborn. However, just as he walked into the front hall and turned around the short corridor in front of the door, he suddenly heard the conversation between Father Zuo and Xu Yuan. ¡± It¡¯s been almost five days. Zuo Yue hasn¡¯t eaten much in the past few days. If this continues, the child will starve. I heard from Wang Ma that she hasn¡¯t even drunk water these few days¡­¡± ¡°If this goes on, the only one who won¡¯t be able to take it will be the bastard in her stomach. It¡¯ll be fine if she¡¯s hungry. Don¡¯t be so soft-hearted. If it weren¡¯t for you being heartless, the child in her stomach would have been aborted long ago.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that Zuo Yue will be provoked¡­After all, she hasn¡¯t been doing well since she came back for more than a month¡­¡± ¡°If the child in her stomach is born, it will only make all of us more agitated! The old man was the number one! If the old master knew that Zuo Yue had sex with her biological uncle and was pregnant with her biological uncle¡¯s child, did you think that the old master¡¯s heart would be able to take it?¡± As soon as Father Zuo finished speaking, he suddenly paused because he heard the sound of the walking stick on the ground behind him. He immediately turned his eyes and looked at Old Master Zuo with a pale face. ¡± Dad¡­?!¡± ¡°Whose child do you think Zuo Yue is pregnant with?¡± Chapter 1194 - Chapter 1194: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (279) Chapter 1194: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (279) ¡°Miss Sun, please eat something. You can¡¯t continue like this¡­¡± Wang Ma¡¯s voice sounded outside the door. Zuo Yue lay weakly on the bed. Because she had not drunk a drop of water or eaten anything for five days, she was so exhausted that she could not even open her eyes. She knew that if this continued, she would not be able to keep the child. However, if she really let the doctors arranged by her parents perform the surgery, she would not be able to keep the child either. If she was locked up here like this, she would not be able to keep the child. If she really couldn¡¯t keep it, at worst, she and the baby in her stomach would die together. This would be considered as fulfilling her parents ¡®wishes, and Xu Chengfeng would no longer have to worry about her safety. ¡°Miss Sun, Mother Wang is begging you. Hurry up and eat some. Even if you have two mouthfuls of porridge, it¡¯s fine¡­Otherwise, you¡¯ll lose your life. You didn¡¯t even drink any water.¡± The room was extremely quiet. Zuo Yue lay quietly on the bed. There were always flashes of light in front of her eyes. She did not know what they were. It was said that if a person did not drink water for more than three days, they would die more easily than if they did not eat for seven days. She felt that she was dying quickly. The baby in her stomach should only be three months old. Her stomach should be bulging soon, but because she hadn¡¯t eaten much recently, it didn¡¯t look any different. Could it be that her baby had already left her? Zuo Yue slowly reached out her hand to pick up her phone. She called Xu Chengfeng numbly like she did every day, but the call still could not go through. Her fingers did not have much strength. She lay on the bed with some difficulty and looked at the screen. She gently typed and sent him a message. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã? [Where are you exactly? If we don¡¯t come back soon, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to keep our baby.] There was no reply to the message. Zuo Yue felt that it was difficult to even breathe at this moment. There were flashes of light and black eyes in front of her eyes. There were tears in her eyes, and they slowly fell. Her fingers were typing on the screen. [I miss you so much, I miss you so much, I miss you so much, when will you come back? I can¡¯t hold on anymore.]] After typing the last word, Zuo Yue¡¯s hand trembled weakly as she pressed the send button. Then, she looked at the light on the screen. For some reason, it turned white and then black. Her entire person gradually fell into endless darkness¡­ .. Five hours later, the sky gradually darkened. Mother Wang suddenly ran out of the door and said,¡±Miss Sun! Miss Sun! The old man had a sudden cardiac arrest two hours ago and was rushed to the hospital! Miss Sun! Just now, Madam asked us to call Mr. Zuo. Mr. Zuo will be back to America in two days. Miss Sun, did you hear that? Miss Sun, quickly eat something so that you have the strength to go to the hospital with me. Old Master¡¯s heart suddenly stopped. I¡¯m afraid something big is going to happen¡­Miss Sun¡­¡± The room was eerily quiet. No matter how Zuo Yue was usually, no matter how desperate she had been in the past few days, she could not remain indifferent when she heard that the old man had a sudden cardiac arrest. After all, this was a matter of life and death. However, Zuo Yue did not make a sound at all. ¡°Miss Sun!¡± ¡°Miss Sun?¡± Wang Ma was definitely wrong. She didn¡¯t care if Zuo Yue would lose her temper and quickly went to get the key to open the bedroom door. When he opened the door, he was shocked to see Zuo Yue lying motionless on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, like a dead person. Mother Wang was so scared that her soul almost flew out of her body. She quickly rushed forward with the other servants to help Zuo Yue up, but she felt that Zuo Yue¡¯s body was cold and her breathing was weak. No matter how she called, there was no response. Mother Wang was so scared that tears ran out. She anxiously called Madam and Old Master Zuo who had just rushed to the hospital. Xu Yuan and Father Zuo had just sent Old Master Zuo to the emergency room when they received a call from home. They heard that Zuo Yue was in a serious coma and could not wake up no matter how they tried. They were also scared out of their wits and quickly sent a car to pick up Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue was finally sent to the hospital. After the doctor examined her, she was immediately sent to the emergency room. Before Zuo Yue was pushed into the emergency room, her breathing was weak and her heartbeat was slow. Her face was as pale as a sheet. Xu Yuan cried so hard that she almost fainted. She kept calling Zuo Yue¡¯s name, but Zuo Yue did not move at all. ¡°What should I do? What should he do? My daughter¡­ How did my daughter become like this¡­¡± For the entire night, the two of them stayed up in fear of losing their father and their daughter. Fortunately, the old man was lucky. Although his heart had stopped because of Zuo Yue, he was still saved. He had not woken up yet, but he had been pushed out of the emergency room and sent to the ward to rest. Everyone in the Zuo family came to the hospital to take care of the old man, but Zuo Yue was still in the emergency room. The doctor had found out that Zuo Yue was pregnant. When he came out, he had asked them if they were going to keep the child. Zuo Yue¡¯s father wanted to abort the child, but the doctor said that the child was already showing signs of a miscarriage. However, he managed to stabilize the fetal heart rate just now. It seemed that the child could still be saved. If the child was aborted at this time, it would probably cause great physical and psychological damage to Zuo Yue. Father Zuo had not come up with an idea after thinking about it. Xu Yuan decided to keep the child first. Otherwise, Zuo Yue would probably go crazy even if she was saved. Moreover, even if it was a miscarriage, it had to wait until Zuo Yue¡¯s body recovered before it was done. Otherwise, it would only cause greater harm. Although it was only a minor operation, with the emergency and life-threatening situation now, the miscarriage was no longer a minor operation. The lights in the emergency room were still on. Xu Yuan sat in the corridor overnight as if she had aged ten years. She had almost forgotten how time passed. ¡°Xu Chengfeng is from the Xu family. This kid dared to touch my daughter and now he¡¯s gone missing. He better not appear again, or I¡¯ll kill him!¡±Father Zuo said with an ugly expression. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that Xu Chengfeng still doesn¡¯t know about Zuo Yue¡¯s pregnancy. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have sent Zuo Yue back to the Zuo family just like that.¡±Xu Yuan thought of Xu Chengfeng and said with heartache. Mr. Zuo closed his eyes and shook his head. He was worried about Zuo Yue¡¯s condition in the emergency room and was exhausted. The next afternoon, Zuo Hancheng and Anhao rushed straight to the hospital after getting off the plane. They saw Xu Yuan and Father Zuo in the corridor of the hospital. At that time, Zuo Yue was still under observation in the emergency room. There were still no signs of her waking up. ¨C [Speaking of which, although these two chapters are a little torturous, they still match the plot of the main text at the time. The ending is coming soon. Don¡¯t be afraid of being tormented. Actually, Peach herself had a breakdown writing these few chapters. Fortunately, she finally finished writing these two chapters¡­Covering my face and crying¡­] Chapter 1195 - Chapter 1195: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (280) Chapter 1195: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (280) Two days later, Zuo Yue finally got out of danger and gradually woke up. She found out that the child was barely saved in the crisis, but now because her body was too weak, she could only lie in bed and recuperate. As long as the child was saved, Zuo Yue would thank the heavens. Four days later, she was discharged from the hospital and sent back to the Zuo family. Zuo Yue was still sent to the attic by Father Zuo. The bedroom in the attic was very quiet. Other than Xu Yuan and Mother Wang who would come over every day to accompany her, Gu Anhao, who had just returned to Los Angeles with Zuo Hancheng, would also come here often to visit her. She would even come over to chat with her if she had nothing to say. However, Zuo Yue was silent most of the time and did not respond. Early in the morning, Anhao brought in a bouquet of fresh flowers that she had picked from somewhere and placed them in a glass bottle by the window. The room was filled with a fresh fragrance, which made the quiet and lifeless atmosphere much livelier. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Anhao sat on the bed and looked at her.¡± Last night, I overheard Dad and Mom talking to the two family doctors. I heard the doctors talking about you. No wonder you¡¯ve been so depressed recently. The doctor said that you¡¯re just suffering from depression and can¡¯t stay rational all the time.¡±¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s gaze froze. She laid on the bed and slowly looked up at Anhao. ¡°Since it¡¯s depression, it makes sense that you went on a hunger strike before. Your symptoms are a little difficult to treat. The doctor said that it might be a temporary solution. I haven¡¯t asked you about your uncle these past few days because I was afraid of making you sad.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything at first. After a long while, she forced the corner of her mouth to twitch.¡±Is that so? ¡®Depressed?¡¯ I didn¡¯t even know that I was sick.¡± ¡°The doctor said that you¡¯ve been living under anxiety, pressure, and fear for a long time¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been living under the distrust of my family for a long time. I¡¯ve been living under the gazes of others as if they were looking at a monster.¡±Zuo Yue suddenly interrupted her. Anhao¡¯s voice paused for a moment. She looked at her for a long time before saying,¡±Uncle, you guys¡­¡± ¡°Sister-in-law, if you¡¯re here to gossip about my relationship, then you¡¯d better not ask.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was a little faint. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï???.§ã¦Ï ¡°I¡¯m not here to gossip. I just want to know why he suddenly disappeared. Also, what exactly was the reason why Dad asked Han City to use his power? Does this have anything to do with Uncle?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes paused. She looked at An for a while, then sighed and laughed. Zuo Hancheng had protected Anhao too well. They had been married for so long and had been separated for so long. In the end, Anhao still did not know what Zuo Hancheng had done in the United States. She did not know how powerful and dangerous the power behind him was. Why did Xu Chengfeng go missing? Why hadn¡¯t they contacted each other until now? It had been more than a month, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air. Yeah, why? She also wanted to know why! Seeing that Zuo Yue suddenly stopped talking and just turned her face away, looking very uncomfortable, Anhao also knew that Zuo Yue was avoiding many people now. She did not even want to explain herself. She just lay there quietly like a puppet. If that uncle knew about her current state, would he really bear to let Zuo Yue suffer at home like this? Perhaps that uncle did not know what kind of torture Zuo Yue was going through at home. Anhao didn¡¯t say anything else. She just stayed by the bed quietly for a while. Not long after, she found that Zuo Yue had fallen asleep, so she got up and left. However, after Anhao left, the door closed. Zuo Yue slowly opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling quietly. ***** The days in the Zuo family, day after day, Zuo Yue¡¯s health gradually improved a lot, but she still shut herself in the house every day. Because she rarely went out for a walk, even if she could get out of bed and walk around, her complexion was much worse than usual. It was Anhao who advised her to stand by the window more often and open the window to breathe in the fresh air. Otherwise, Zuo Yue would not even get out of bed. Just as she got out of bed and was about to walk to the window out of habit, she suddenly felt as if she was being stared at by someone. Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body stiffened and she suddenly looked out the window. However, she had slept in the afternoon. No one should have come in the afternoon. Why was the window open? There was a cold breeze outside, and the curtains fluttered, dyeing the night sky black and inexplicably terrifying. Zuo Yue felt that it was strange. The Zuo family should be very safe, and Zuo Hancheng had returned home recently. It was impossible for anyone to sneak in. Moreover, the security facilities in the Zuo family were always perfect, so there should not be any problems. It was precisely because the Zuo family was very safe that Xu Chengfeng sent her back, wasn¡¯t it? He had been missing for more than two months¡­ Zuo Yue walked towards the window step by step. When she reached out to close the window, she suddenly saw something flash past in the dark night in front of her from the corner of her eye. It was just a flash and she did not see it clearly. She looked in that direction in confusion. There was an instinctive feeling of panic in her heart. She stroked the window for a while and closed it directly. Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw an unknown number with a hidden GPS address. However, her phone only rang once before it suddenly shut down automatically, as if it had been implanted with a virus. She turned back to the wall and turned off the lights in the room. Then, she slowly walked back to the window and looked out through the gap between the curtains. She gently opened the curtains. That feeling of fear came back to her heart. An instinct screamed in her heart, telling her to leave the room quickly. However, those people could actually sneak into the Zuo family to find her? If those people were still thinking of ways to find her, after all, they knew that she was Xu Chengfeng¡¯s weakness. However, did this prove that nothing had happened to Xu Chengfeng? At least those people who wanted to harm him were still thinking of ways to restrain him? Those people were still trying to find his weakness, which proved that Xu Chengfeng was safe! Zuo Yue was standing in front of the window in a daze. Suddenly, the door was opened. Anhao entered with some food and realized that the lights in the room were off, so she casually turned on the lights. ¡± Zuo Yue, hurry up and eat. Mother Wang specially made pork ribs today. This pork rib soup is very fragrant¡­¡± Seeing Zuo Yue standing by the window without speaking or moving, Anhao put down the dinner in her hands and was about to walk towards the window. Zuo Yue heard footsteps behind her and said,¡±¡±Sister-in-law.¡± Hearing the strangeness in Zuo Yue¡¯s voice, Anhao immediately became vigilant. Chapter 1196 - Chapter 1196: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (281) Chapter 1196: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (281) ¡°Go tell my brother that someone from the Zuo family has infiltrated.¡±Zuo Yue¡¯s voice was cold and indifferent, but it made Gu Anhao¡¯s eyes look puzzled. Realizing that Anhao did not seem to understand the warning in her words, Zuo Yue turned around to look at her and saw the dinner that Anhao had brought. ¡°I can¡¯t eat.¡± Zuo Yue did not want Anhao to be frightened. After all, Anhao had always been well protected by Zuo Hancheng. She asked softly,¡±¡±My brother is back?¡± ¡°Who sneaked in? Tell me clearly.¡± ¡°Are they your uncle¡¯s men?¡± Anhao looked at her. Was it someone else? Who are they targeting?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with uncertainty.¡±¡±I¡¯m not sure either, but I just received a call with a hidden GPS.¡± At this point, Zuo Yue placed her hand on her belly that was still flat and had yet to bulge.¡±¡±They should be coming for me. I was making a promise earlier¡­ When I was studying at Uncle¡¯s place, I happened to encounter some things. Those people knew that my relationship with him was not shallow, so¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but those people dared to sneak into the Zuo family, so they must not know the Zuo family well enough.¡± Did he want to die by sneaking into the Zuo family? Anhao saw that Zuo Yue¡¯s expression was much uglier than before, so she walked over.¡±¡±I¡¯ll help you back to the bed to rest first. Then, I¡¯ll go look for¡­¡± She had just taken two steps in Zuo Yue¡¯s direction when suddenly, the glass window behind Zuo Yue was shattered by something that flew out of nowhere. Anhao did not see it clearly, but at the same time that the glass shards pierced Zuo Yue¡¯s body, she pounced over.¡±¡±Be careful!¡± Zuo Yue was protected by Anhao. The two of them staggered and sat on the ground. Although Zuo Yue did not hear the gunshot, she could guess that someone must have fired because of the broken glass. She quickly raised her head in Anhao¡¯s arms. Anhao¡¯s forehead was covered in thin sweat because she was injured, but she still grabbed Zuo Yue¡¯s wrist tightly.¡±Zuo Yue, are you injured? The child has no luck? ¡°Sister-in-law, you¡¯re bleeding!¡± Zuo Yue did not expect that Gu Anhao would disregard her own safety to save her. Just as she was about to help her up, the door was suddenly pushed open. The moment Zuo Hancheng rushed in, Zuo Yue and Anhao¡¯s faces turned pale. Zuo Hancheng went forward and carried the injured Anhao. Zuo Yue hurriedly stood up and wanted to explain the situation. Zuo Hancheng only glanced at Zuo Yue and confirmed that Zuo Yue was not injured before carrying Anhao out quickly. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?0.§ã? The room was a mess, Zuo Yue turned around and was about to look at the broken window, but she was dragged out by the left father and Wang Ma who came after hearing the sound. After Zuo Yue was brought to a safe place, almost everyone in the Zuo family asked her who she had offended. Even Xu Yuan, who knew that Xu Chengfeng was related to the underworld, asked a few more questions because she was worried about her safety. However, Zuo Yue sat in her seat and did not make a sound. She could not say a word. She could not answer, nor could she answer anything. When she was sent back to the Zuo family, she did not know anything. Xu Chengfeng had once said that he would not let her get hurt again unless he died. Therefore, when he was in danger, he sent her back to the safest place and protected her in the most perfect and reassuring way. So what could she know? It did not take long before the people around Zuo Hancheng came over to explain the situation. The thing that broke the window was a 45ACP shotgun, which was a type of silent gun. However, it was obvious that the purpose was not to kill Zuo Yue, but to serve as a warning. Zuo Yue understood that instead of warning her and the Zuo family, they wanted them to contact Xu Chengfeng and warn him that they had found his woman. However, it seemed that their warnings were useless. Because none of them could contact Xu Chengfeng. Even after Zuo Hancheng had finished dealing with Anhao¡¯s matters and Anhao¡¯s wounds were bandaged and she had fallen asleep, Zuo Yue still could not answer him. Seeing Zuo Yue¡¯s current state, Zuo Hancheng suddenly said,¡±¡±Have you ever thought that Xu Chengfeng left in such a way to avoid you, or did something really happen?¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes suddenly paused and she looked up at him. For so long, she had thought that Xu Chengfeng had no choice but to send her back to avoid danger because of something. She had never thought that he was avoiding her. ¡°Why is he avoiding me?¡± Zuo Yue asked blankly. ¡°I¡¯m not Xu Chengfeng. I don¡¯t know.¡±Zuo Hancheng did not seem to be in a good mood.¡±But Zuo Yue, regardless of whether what you told me in private about his blood relationship is true or false, you have to be strong. If this child¡¯s parents don¡¯t want you to stay, you have to listen to them and go to the hospital obediently. Otherwise, everyone around you will be hurt. Love can¡¯t die. What are you doing now? For a missing person, she suffered from depression and risked her life for him, but where was he? He never came back to look for you. He might never come back to look for you again in this life. What are you waiting for?¡± As if she had never heard Zuo Hancheng say so many words in one breath, Zuo Yue sat by the bed in a daze. Zuo Hancheng saw that Zuo Yue was in a daze. He did not say anything else and turned to leave. However, after he left the door, he glanced at Xu Yuan who had been waiting outside the door for a long time. ¡°Forcing her with such harsh words is the only thing I can do.¡±¡± I¡¯ve already sent someone to investigate Xu Chengfeng¡¯s whereabouts,¡± Zuo Hancheng said calmly.¡± But I personally don¡¯t recommend that you use such a method to force Zuo Yue to go to the hospital. She¡¯s too easily agitated in her current state.¡±¡± ¡°The doctor said that she was still very weak before and couldn¡¯t have an abortion. I was also afraid that she would be mentally agitated. If I didn¡¯t let you say these words to wake her up, if I didn¡¯t let her take the initiative to agree to the operation, I wouldn¡¯t be at ease either. Hancheng, I know I¡¯ve made things difficult for you.¡± Xu Yuan sighed softly.¡± There¡¯s no mother in this world who doesn¡¯t want her daughter to be well. However, Zuo Yue is like this now. You can¡¯t blame us for being cruel. After all, it¡¯s better to suffer a short pain than a long one.¡±¡± Zuo Hancheng did not say anything else, but his expression did not look too good. After a while, he said,¡±Zuo Yue is not a child. She has already grown up. If she is unwilling, you don¡¯t have to force her like this.¡± ¡°As long as she¡¯s willing to abort the child, I won¡¯t stop her from doing whatever she wants in the future.¡±Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes turned red.¡± Zuo Hancheng sighed coldly and said expressionlessly,¡±¡±I¡¯ll think of a way to find Xu Chengfeng first. I¡¯ll go take care of Anhao. Zuo Yue, let her be alone for now. Don¡¯t force her anymore. I think she¡¯s been in a bad state recently. She¡¯s no longer our little Zuo Yue.¡± Chapter 1197 - Chapter 1197: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (282) Chapter 1197: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (282) Although Xu Yuan had promised Zuo Hancheng, she saw that Zuo Yue was still muddle-headed after a few days. In the end, she still took the opportunity to bring her to the hospital for a check-up with the old man to see if she could abort the child. Although her mother did not say anything, Zuo Yue had always been on guard. Recently, her mood had been very chaotic. She had actually panicked because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s words and wondered if Xu Chengfeng had encountered danger or was he really just tired of her and did not want to see her again? The more chaotic she was, the more afraid she was of losing the child in her stomach. She tried to think of a way several times and finally took the opportunity when Anhao sent her back to the Zuo family alone to ask Anhao to accompany her to the park. In the end, Anhao kept a close eye on her, as if she was afraid that she would sneak away. She didn¡¯t even let go of the toilet in the park and continued to keep an eye on her. Zuo Yue felt that she was a failure, but she did not want Anhao to bear the responsibility of losing her when she returned to the Zuo family. In the end, she gave up the plan to escape. Initially, he just wanted to walk around the park with Anhao and talk to her. After suppressing all the emotions in his heart for so long, he finally wanted to talk to Anhao. She didn¡¯t expect that Anhao would be mistaken for her and taken away by those Russian fugitives after the two of them left Mother Wang, Uncle Chen, and the driver¡¯s line of sight for a walk in the park. Zuo Yue wanted to rush over to save Anhao, but Anhao was afraid that the two of them would be in danger together and let her run first. When Zuo Hancheng arrived, Anhao was already missing. Zuo Yue was helped up by Mother Wang and Uncle Chen and had just entered the car. When she saw Zuo Hancheng¡¯s figure, she was worried and followed Zuo Hancheng¡¯s car to look for Anhao. However, after rushing to the explosion site in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Zuo Hancheng discovered that the route of those people had changed to New York. If Zuo Hancheng went to New York, it would definitely involve many grudges from ten years ago. He immediately ordered people to send Zuo Yue back. Although Zuo Yue refused, Mother Wang and Uncle Chen forced her into the car and brought her back to the Zuo family. Because of Anhao¡¯s accident, the Zuo family could no longer be lonely. Even the old master was worried, but he was more worried about Zuo Hancheng¡¯s safety. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã¦Ï Zuo Yue wanted to ask about the situation, but the old man suddenly hit her with his walking stick. ¡°Dad!¡± Xu Yuan quickly rushed over to protect Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue, who had been hit by the crutch, staggered and knelt on the ground. ¡°What¡¯s the use of kneeling? Do you think you can get Han Cheng back just by kneeling down? Did he not have to go to New York to take risks? Tell me, how many people do you want to harm? The whole family is worried about you, and now your brother has to rush to save Anhao! If anything happens to your brother in New York, our Zuo family will never acknowledge a lunatic like you again!¡± ¡°Dad! Zuo Yue¡¯s physical condition has been very poor recently. Please don¡¯t hit her anymore! She didn¡¯t want to see Anhao get into trouble. Zuo Yue was locked up by us for so long, and it wasn¡¯t easy for her to talk to Anhao. She didn¡¯t do anything, she just went to the park with Anhao. Zuo Yue didn¡¯t expect those people to sneak in!¡±Xu Yuan saw Zuo Yue¡¯s look of despair and didn¡¯t even bother to explain, and she said with heartache. ¡°She didn¡¯t expect this? Was there anything else she hadn¡¯t expected? Did she ever think about what she did to the Zuo family because of her feelings that she shouldn¡¯t have? Now, you¡¯re not willing to accept it because you didn¡¯t anger me to death, right? Do you want to kill your brother?¡± Old Master Zuo raised his walking stick angrily.¡±¡±Xu Yuan, get out of my way! I want to beat her to death!¡± At that time, Xu Yuan had protected Zuo Yue and did not let the old man hit her with his walking stick. However, half a month later. Zuo Hancheng had rescued Anhao in New York and brought her back to the An family. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but just as Xu Yuan was about to go to New York to visit the An family, she suddenly received bad news. They all said that Zuo Hancheng was affected by the grudge between Gu Shishi and Gu Anhao. When he went to save Gu Anhao, he sacrificed himself to save her, but he was buried in the sea of fire after the explosion. After hearing the news, Old Master Zuo fainted on the spot. Father Zuo and Xu Yuan did not speak for the whole night. Although Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death had nothing to do with Zuo Yue, in Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes, she seemed to deserve to die more than Zuo Hancheng. In this family, his brother was the hope of the Zuo family. Whether it was Shengling Group or the future of the Zuo family, they all had high hopes for him. And she had always disappointed everyone. Seeing that her grandfather had started preparing to go to New York after he woke up, her parents also cooperated silently. The entire family fell into a depression, but they did not plan to take her to New York with them. Before they set off, Zuo Yue walked out in a daze and begged them to take her to send her brother off one last time. However, she was rejected. Father Zuo¡¯s expression was ugly and he did not say anything. Grandfather even asked them to take her back to her room and not run out to hurt people again. Xu Yuan¡¯s heart ached for her, but she could not lift her spirits because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s harsh scolding. She only got out of the car to help her up. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, cried and knelt on the ground, begging them to take her to send her brother off. In the end, the old man threw his walking stick at her head. ¡°Get lost! Get lost!¡± The old master cursed. ¡°Miss Sun¡­¡± After Wang Ma sent them off, she knelt beside Zuo Yue with heartache. Seeing that Zuo Yue was as thin as firewood, she immediately hugged her.¡± Miss Sun, please don¡¯t kneel here. Mr. Zuo had already rescued Anhao, so you have nothing to do with Anhao¡¯s accident. Anhao¡¯s father in China is a lingering problem. Those are the disasters between Mr. Zuo and Anhao. It has nothing to do with you, Miss Sun. You don¡¯t have to blame yourself anymore¡­¡± Zuo Yue knelt on the ground motionlessly, facing the direction of New York City. ¡°Is my brother really dead?¡± ¡°How did my brother die?¡± Zuo Yue asked in a daze. People like my brother¡­ How can he die¡­¡± Mother Wang started crying even more.¡± Miss Sun, don¡¯t talk about this. Come back with me first. Your body can¡¯t stand this now. Come back to the room with me quickly¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible for my brother to die¡­¡± Zuo Yue lowered her head and knelt on the ground weakly.¡±¡±It must be because Grandfather and the others think that I¡¯m not obedient. Grandfather and the others must be deliberately scaring me, right¡­¡± ¡°Miss Sun¡­¡± ¡°If my brother dies, what will happen to Grandpa? What should his parents do? What should I do¡­What about Anhao?¡± Zuo Yue looked up at Mother Wang, who was crying her eyes out, and said,¡±¡±Wang Ma, Wang Ma, don¡¯t cry. My brother isn¡¯t dead. He can¡¯t be dead! Don¡¯t cry, he won¡¯t die, right?¡± Chapter 1198 - Chapter 1198: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (283) Chapter 1198: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (283) Even though Zuo Hancheng¡¯s news was sealed internally, even the company in China did not know what had happened to their BOSS. Whether it was China or America, everything related to the Zuo family was covered up. The Zuo family seemed to be bustling with people, but Father Zuo, Mother Zuo, and Old Master Zuo were nowhere to be seen. Zuo Yue was the only one keeping watch at home, but she was still locked in her room every day. It was just that recently, Wang Ma felt that Zuo Yue¡¯s mental state was getting worse and worse, and even her words seemed to be getting more and more muddled. This could no longer be described as depression. ¡°Miss Sun, the weather is good today. Do you want to go out for a walk?¡±When Wang Ma walked in, she saw Zuo Yue sitting by the window and looking outside. It seemed that she hadn¡¯t moved for a long time. However, Zuo Yue leaned against the window and curled herself into a ball. She held her belly that was gradually bulging with both hands and said in a low voice,¡±¡±I¡¯m going out, I¡¯m going out, I¡¯m going out, I¡¯m going out.¡± ¡°Madam and the others will be back in a few days. Miss Sun, you can¡¯t continue to lose weight like this. You should go out and bask in the sun more. You look too pale now.¡± Zuo Yue still shook her head, her hands carefully protecting her stomach.¡±¡±I¡¯m not going anywhere¡­¡± ¡°Miss Sun.¡± Wang Ma went forward to see her worriedly. As soon as Wang Ma approached, Zuo Yue shrank to the side as if she had been frightened. She curled up and refused to let anyone touch her. It seemed that ever since her stomach finally bulged a little, proving that the child had survived in her stomach, Zuo Yue¡¯s emotions had been tense. Furthermore, because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death, she was extremely sensitive to everything. In recent days, she had become more and more afraid of being touched by others. Even when she was eating, she would hide in her room carefully. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ??¦Í??.§ã¦Ï ¡°Miss Sun, what¡¯s wrong with you? I¡¯m Mother Wang. Mother Wang won¡¯t hurt you and the child in your stomach. Mother Wang won¡¯t do anything to your stomach either. Don¡¯t be afraid, Miss Sun.¡± However, Zuo Yue only hugged her stomach tightly to avoid Wang Ma¡¯s hand. She leaned her face against the wall to avoid Wang Ma¡¯s voice and raised hand. Mother Wang was afraid of scaring her, so she withdrew her hand and asked someone to bring the cut fruit to her. Then she said softly,¡±Then eat some fruit. You have to eat all the food I usually bring into the room for you. Your body can¡¯t continue to endure like this, understand?¡± Zuo Yue did not utter a word and just turned her head away. Wang Ma sighed. She didn¡¯t dare to make wild guesses, but Zuo Yue¡¯s current appearance was similar to the time when she was abandoned on the snowy mountain that night when she was young. She was alone and helpless, with no one to help her. After that, she had been hiding from people like this, as if she had been stimulated. No matter how he looked at it now, he felt that she was similar to when she was young. Could it be that Miss Sun really had some mental problems because of this heavy stimulation? Why was she so afraid of people? .. For two or three days, Zuo Yue hadn¡¯t eaten much. Every time Mother Wang asked her to eat, she would refuse to take a bite as if everything in front of her was poison. She would only drink some water. Mother Wang was afraid that Zuo Yue¡¯s body would not be able to take it if she continued like this. Also, if Madam and the others came back and found that Miss Sun had become thinner, they would definitely think that they did not take good care of Zuo Yue. But more importantly, Zuo Yue¡¯s body. ¡°Miss Sun, Madam and the others will be back the day after tomorrow. If you continue to be like this, Madam will very likely force you to go to the hospital. Be obedient and eat something quickly to get better. Otherwise, if you go to the hospital¡­¡± ¡°Go to the hospital? What hospital?¡± Zuo Yue suddenly turned to look at Wang Ma. There was nothing unusual on her face, but her voice suddenly rose.¡±I¡¯m not going to the hospital!¡± ¡°Miss Sun¡­You¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital!¡± Zuo Yue seemed to suddenly remember something from her daze. She didn¡¯t know where she got the strength from, but she suddenly raised her hand and pushed Wang Ma away. She turned around and ran out.¡±I¡¯m not going! Not going to the hospital! No one can touch my child! I¡¯m not going to the hospital!¡± ¡°Miss Sun! Where are you going?¡± Wang Ma had come to the attic alone to prevent others from scaring Zuo Yue, who had been in a bad mental state recently. When she saw Zuo Yue turn around and run out, she was so scared that she wanted to chase after her. However, she did not expect Zuo Yue to run so fast even after not eating for so many days. It was more like a desire to escape. Zuo Yue staggered as she desperately ran out. ¡°Miss Sun, don¡¯t run around! Miss Sun, come back!¡± Mother Wang chased after him. Grandfather had already implicated her with all his anger because of her brother. When they came back, would they send her to the hospital and force her to have an abortion? Zuo Yue¡¯s entire body was tense, as if she could not hear the voices behind her. She only instinctively ran out frantically. After she ran past the front hall, she shook off the hands of the two servants who reached out in a panic and continued to run out. ¡°Quick, stop Miss Sun from going out. Miss Sun, you can¡¯t run like this. It¡¯s too dangerous. Stop quickly. Don¡¯t fall¡­¡± Zuo Yue ran out without caring about anything else, bypassing the hands of those servants. Although those people wanted to stop her, they were afraid of hurting her. Zuo Yue was especially strong because of her desire to escape. After shaking off those people, she continued to run crazily in the direction of the front door of the Zuo family¡¯s front yard. ¡°Miss Sun!¡± ¡°Miss Sun, don¡¯t run¡­¡± ¡°Stop her, stop her,¡± ¡°No one can hurt my child. No one can take me to the hospital. No¡­¡± Zuo Yue muttered as she ran. Her vision was in a mess, as if she could break through all the dangers as long as she rushed out of the Zuo family¡¯s door. Suddenly, a black SUV drove in from the main gate of the Zuo family. The car had just stopped when the door was suddenly opened. A figure alighted from the car, and Zuo Yue rushed out from the door at that moment. The other person who got out of the car had just walked to the side of the person. Suddenly, he saw the person who ran out from inside and immediately turned his eyes with a surprised expression.¡±BOSS..¡± Zuo Yue was just about to rush out when she suddenly stopped in her tracks when she saw the person outside the door. She staggered and stared blankly at the face that was paler than before, but still clear and handsome. ¡°Miss Sun!¡± Wang Ma and the others ran out panting and rushed forward to pull Zuo Yue back. However, at that moment, they turned around and saw the person outside the door. ¡°Xu¡­Mr. Xu?¡± Mother Wang thought she had seen a ghost and called out in disbelief. Zuo Yue, on the other hand, trembled as if she did not recognize the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her. She instinctively took a step back and placed her hands on her stomach as she said in a panic,¡±¡±Don¡¯t find someone who looks like him to lie to me. I won¡¯t go to the hospital even if I die. Don¡¯t even think about touching my child¡­No one can touch my child¡­¡± ¡°Miss Sun!¡± ¡°Let go of me¡­Let me go!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue?¡± Xu Chengfeng had never expected that when he finally returned after experiencing a near-death experience, he would see such a scene. Chapter 1199 - Chapter 1199: Asking the Moon on the Wind (284) Chapter 1199: Asking the Moon on the Wind (284) ¡°Miss Sun, don¡¯t be like this. This is Mr. Xu. Look, Mr. Xu is back. Miss Sun, don¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Mother Wang hugged Zuo tightly tightly.¡± However, Zuo Yue lowered her head and did not dare to look up at the person in front of her. She tightly grabbed Mother Wang¡¯s sleeves and turned her head to lean on Mother Wang¡¯s shoulder, muttering softly,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital.¡± ¡°Miss Sun, let¡¯s not go to the hospital. Mother Wang was just making an analogy just now. No one in the family dares to take you to the hospital without permission now.¡±Wang Ma coaxed softly. ¡°Boss, Zuo Yue is¡­?¡±Standing beside the car, Aite¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. After a moment of silence, Xu Chengfeng thoroughly observed Zuo Yue¡¯s condition and walked towards her. Wang Ma knew that the relationship between Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng was not ordinary, and it was even a so-called taboo in Madam¡¯s words. However, the people who could make decisions in this family were not at home, and Zuo Yue was in such a state. If she wanted Zuo Yue to calm down, perhaps only Xu Chengfeng could come forward. ¡°What happened to her?¡± As Xu Chengfeng approached, he saw Zuo Yue carefully avoiding the people around her as if she was afraid of them. She held Wang Ma¡¯s sleeve tightly with one hand and placed the other hand on her stomach. Moreover, Zuo Yue had lost a lot of weight recently. Her nightgown looked very loose, so one could not see the abnormality on her stomach. ¡°This¡­¡± Wang Ma turned her eyes and looked worriedly at Zuo Yue who was leaning against her.¡±Mr. Xu, I¡¯m afraid Miss Sun¡¯s emotions have been accumulated over the past few months. She has been locked up at home and has been suppressing many emotions. She is very afraid and has been tense. She is afraid that she will be taken to the hospital¡­In addition, Old Master and the others were monitoring and criticizing him, and Mr. Zuo¡­Mr. Zuo¡¯s death¡­I¡¯m afraid Miss Sun really can¡¯t take it anymore, that¡¯s why she suddenly became like this¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng frowned. On his way back from Russia, he had indeed heard the news of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s accident in New York. He had rushed back to Los Angeles before he could verify it. ¡°Zuo Yue.¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his hand to Zuo Yue, who was hiding beside Wang Ma.¡±¡±Come here.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s neck shrank back when she heard that.¡±¡±No, I¡¯m not going to the hospital¡­¡± ¡°Miss Sun, Mr. Xu won¡¯t take you to the hospital. Look carefully, this is Mr. Xu¡­¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã¦Ï ¡°Zuo Yue, what happened?¡± Xu Chengfeng took another step forward and reached out to gently hold her wrist. Zuo Yue shivered and was about to retreat, but she could not resist his strength. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms. ¡°Let me go¡­¡± Zuo Yue didn¡¯t even raise her head, she just pushed the person beside her away.¡±¡±You can¡¯t¡­I can¡¯t do this¡­ I¡¯m not going to the hospital¡­I didn¡¯t kill my brother¡­ Don¡¯t punish me¡­Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± ¡°Miss Zuo?¡± Ainte walked forward and looked worriedly at Zuo Yue, who was held tightly in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms. Zuo Yue hadn¡¯t eaten much recently, and she had been running for so long just now. She couldn¡¯t resist Xu Chengfeng¡¯s strength at all. After resisting a few times, she raised her red eyes and looked at Xu Chengfeng. She cried and said aggrievedly,¡±¡±Please don¡¯t take me to the hospital¡­I don¡¯t want to abort my child¡­ My child is normal¡­ It was healthy¡­I¡¯m not going to the hospital¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression changed instantly. He looked down at her belly that she had been protecting with one hand. Ainte was also shocked.¡±A child?¡± Xu Chengfeng did not say a word. He only hugged Zuo Yue and did not let her escape. His other hand slowly moved down and touched the back of her hand that had been placed on her stomach. Then, he moved it down again until he touched the slight bulge of her flat stomach through the thin sleeping group on her body. He instantly looked at Zuo Yue¡¯s pale and thin face. ¡°Please¡­¡± Zuo Yue cried and suddenly raised her two hands and pulled at the cloth on his chest pitifully: ¡°Don¡¯t make me get an abortion¡­I don¡¯t want to go¡­¡± Ainte suddenly fell silent. He only quietly raised his head and saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s bloodshot eyes. His bloodshot eyes immediately swept coldly at Wang Ma, who was standing in front of him. ¡°I¡¯m not going to the hospital¡­¡± As if she felt a familiar sense of security, Zuo Yue mumbled helplessly as she instinctively leaned her head into his embrace. Her voice became softer and softer, but she closed her eyes and sobbed softly,¡±¡±I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital¡­Please¡­¡± Being glared at by Xu Chengfeng¡¯s murderous gaze, Mother Wang immediately took a step back in fear and hurriedly explained,¡±Mr. Xu, don¡¯t misunderstand! When you sent Miss Sun back, she was already more than a month pregnant, but she kept it from us. Later, when Madam found out that Miss Sun was pregnant, she was worried¡­ I¡¯m worried that the child Miss Sun is pregnant with will be abnormal after she gives birth, so I¡¯ve been insisting on taking Miss Sun to the hospital to get rid of the child¡­¡± As Mother Wang spoke, her voice became softer and softer because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze. In the end, she could only say in a low voice,¡±Madam is worried that because of Miss Sun and Mr. Xu¡¯s blood relationship, the child in her stomach will¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t wait for Wang Ma to finish speaking. He suddenly picked up Zuo Yue, who was crying weakly in his arms, by the waist. He turned around with an ugly expression and wanted to carry her into the car. ¡°Mr. Xu, what do you want? You can¡¯t take Miss Sun away, you¡­¡± Ainte suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Wang Ma expressionlessly. Wang Ma saw Aite¡¯s burly figure and cold expression, and then saw the bodyguards in two cars behind their car. Although she could not let them take Zuo Yue away, she knew that Xu Chengfeng would not hurt Zuo Yue. Moreover, with Zuo Yue¡¯s condition just now, if she continued like this, she might really get into trouble. Perhaps she would be better if she was by Mr. Xu¡¯s side. Mother Wang shivered and took two steps back, but she still looked worriedly at Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back and Zuo Yue, who had no strength to resist in his arms. ¡°Mr. Xu, please be gentle. Not only is Miss Sun¡¯s mental condition very bad, but her physical condition is also very bad¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s back was cold. When a bodyguard came over to open the car door, he looked at Zuo Yue, who was curled up in his arms with red eyes and a wronged expression. He said coldly,¡±Three months ago, I sent her back to the Zuo family so that you could protect her, not hurt her.¡± ¡°Mr. Xu¡­¡± Wang Ma wanted to explain that no one in the Zuo family wanted to hurt Zuo Yue. They were worried about Zuo Yue and had been busy for her for so many months. However, it seemed that everyone had used the wrong method. In addition, Zuo Hancheng¡¯s accident had actually forced Zuo Yue into this state. Zuo Yue seemed to have sobered up a little now, as if she had already recognized who the person in front of her was. However, she did not say a word and only curled up in his arms quietly and obediently like a red-eyed rabbit. Chapter 1200 - Chapter 1200: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (285) Chapter 1200: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (285) When Zuo Yue was carried into the car by Xu Chengfeng, Mother Wang did not dare to say anything outside the car, but she could not help but walk over and say,¡±Mr. Xu, Miss Sun hasn¡¯t been eating much recently. You have to think of a way to make her eat¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng glanced at Zuo Yue, who was still in his arms with her eyes closed, but did not look like she was asleep. Although the coldness in his eyes had not disappeared, he still nodded at Wang Ma to express his stance. Wang Ma then retreated with relief. Although Madam had instructed her not to let Zuo Yue leave the Zuo family, she was assured that she would leave it to Mr. Xu. After all, this was the person Miss Sun had been waiting for every day. It was her own choice. The few cars in front of the Zuo family¡¯s house gradually drove away. Ainte, who was in the car, turned around from time to time to look at Xu Chengfeng and Zuo Yue, who was curled up in his arms.¡±How did it become like this in less than three months? Boss, wasn¡¯t she in a good condition when you sent her back? Why did she¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng didn¡¯t say anything and only hugged Zuo Yue. He held her firmly with one hand and supported her back in his embrace. The other hand kept holding her hand. Both of their hands were placed on her lower abdomen. Ainte knew that the most terrifying thing was the fact that his BOSS was silent. He was afraid that his BOSS did not know about Zuo Yue¡¯s pregnancy at all. He did not even expect Zuo Yue to become like this. This kind of unapproachable aura made Ainte not dare to say anything more. He only urged the driver to drive faster. The car stopped in front of a private hospital. Zuo Yue had been leaning in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms without moving. She did not resist, struggle, or speak. The moment Xu Chengfeng carried her out of the car, she noticed from the corner of her eye that they had brought her to a hospital. She was so frightened that she started to struggle in his arms.¡±I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital¡­Let me go¡­ Let go of me¡­¡± ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Chengfeng suppressed her struggle and whispered into her ear,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t bring you to the hospital for surgery. I brought you to the doctor to check your physical condition! I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with you now. I have to let the doctor see what¡¯s wrong with you, and¡­¡± He glanced at her belly and said,¡±If you¡¯re really pregnant, I need to know if our child is safe.¡±¡± Zuo Yue leaned stiffly in his arms, as if she did not understand what he was saying. She just stared at him blankly for a long time before she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed his clothes by his shoulders.¡±My child is very normal and healthy. My child won¡¯t be a monster after he¡¯s born. You have to believe me¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng tightened his grip on her and said in a low and hoarse voice,¡±¡±I know, I know.¡± God knows how this girl spent the past few months in the Zuo family. Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í??.§ã0 A monster? Who used such a terrifying term to instill this kind of consciousness in her? ¡°I believe you, and you have to believe me. This is our child. I won¡¯t hurt him. Let¡¯s go to the doctor and let the doctor check your body to see if our child is healthy and safe.¡±Xu Chengfeng coaxed her and signaled for Ainte to go in and make arrangements, lest the doctor was confused and scared her. After Ainte nodded, he entered the hospital first. Xu Chengfeng carried Zuo Yue and comforted her in front of the hospital. He could tell that Zuo Yue¡¯s current condition seemed to have been triggered. If he forcefully carried her to the hospital without her consent, it would only lead to worse consequences. Zuo Yue did not say a word. She only pressed her head against his neck and held onto him helplessly. After a long time, she nodded her head gently and said with a choked voice,¡±¡±We¡¯re not related by blood, are we¡­ Our child won¡¯t be a monster, right¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s face, which had been barely able to remain calm, suddenly cracked slightly. The blood vessels in his eyes were obvious. He hugged Zuo Yue and whispered gently into her ear,¡±¡±Silly girl, you finally recognized me?¡± Zuo Yue did not answer him. She was curled up in his arms, her eyes red as she sobbed,¡±¡±You didn¡¯t abandon me, right¡­ We¡¯re not related by blood, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Chengfeng finally knew what she was afraid of. He immediately hugged her tightly.¡±Let¡¯s go to the hospital to see the doctor first.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he carried her into the main entrance of the hospital. As soon as he smelled the disinfectant in the hospital, Zuo Yue instinctively twisted in his arms as if she was rejecting it. She seemed to be very uncomfortable, and the expression on her face became more and more terrified. What exactly had she experienced in the past few months?! Xu Chengfeng suppressed the anger in his heart. After Ai Te and the other staff members who had already arranged for him in the hospital signaled to her, he carried Zuo Yue into the special passage and walked directly inside. They boarded the exclusive elevator. .. After the checkup, Zuo Yue¡¯s fetus was slightly smaller than the normal fetus due to her body and lack of nutrition. She had also experienced two threatened miscarriages. From now on, she had to protect the fetus every day. She could not have too much emotional fluctuations. She had to lie down as much as possible to protect the fetus. Otherwise, she might not be able to keep the fetus. However, Zuo Yue¡¯s current physical condition was only malnutrition and malnutrition. Because she had gone on a hunger strike many times, she had not eaten or rested properly for the past few months. As for her mental state, it was because she had lived under overly tense emotions and atmosphere for a long time, and she had also suffered some very strong stimulation, which led to her current high level of depression and mild hysteria. However, as long as her emotions gradually calmed down and she felt that her life around her was gradually settling down, things would slowly get better. It was just that she was not sure when it would get better. Moreover, from her words and actions, the biggest shock she received was the fear of being forced to have an abortion. There was also the death of her brother. In addition, it was because someone said that the child in her stomach was abnormal that all kinds of pressure forced her to this point. Perhaps after the child was born safely, her condition would improve even more. Everything was just based on the experience and guesses of the doctors. Zuo Yue had been quietly letting them examine her without saying a word. However, when the doctors came to touch her belly, she would lean into Xu Chengfeng¡¯s arms with red eyes, especially in fear and grievance. .. A few hours later. The black SUV drove away in front of the hospital. Xu Chengfeng sat in the car and lifted the coat covering Zuo Yue¡¯s body. At the same time, he raised his hand and gently brushed the stray hair on her cheek behind her ear. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m afraid Miss Zuo can¡¯t be sent back to the Zuo family in her current condition. Should we take her out of Los Angeles? Or¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at Zuo Yue, who had fallen asleep beside him. His eyes were indifferent as he said in a light voice,¡±¡±Wait for her parents to come back and settle what needs to be settled before leaving. The debts that needed to be settled were also settled clearly.¡± Chapter 1201 - Chapter 1201: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (286) Chapter 1201: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (286) After returning to Xu Chengfeng¡¯s side for a few days, Zuo Yue¡¯s complexion gradually improved a little. When the doctor came to check, he said that because of the people around her and the atmosphere, she no longer felt so much pressure and restraint. Although she hadn¡¯t eaten much in recent days, she was already nauseous because of her pregnancy. In addition, she didn¡¯t have a good appetite and didn¡¯t eat much. She still looked a little thinner, but at least she looked much better than the day she was taken away from the Zuo family. At night, Zuo Yue had just fallen asleep when Xu Chengfeng walked into the room. He looked at her pale and peaceful sleeping face and walked over to sit by the bed. After helping her tuck in the corner of the blanket, he silently looked at Zuo Yue, who was still frowning occasionally in her deep sleep as if she had a nightmare. Although Zuo Yue had been getting better in the past few days, she did not speak much. The most she said was,¡± My child is very healthy, my child is not a monster, and my brother is not dead.¡± Then, when he ate with her, she would say that she didn¡¯t want to eat, that she was full, or that she wanted to sleep. She did not even call Xu Chengfeng¡¯s name once. Sometimes, she would sit next to him and watch him work. Then, she would stare at him in a daze. She would even fall asleep as she watched him, as if she had fallen into a dream again. Xu Chengfeng thought that the worst thing he had ever done in his life was to send Zuo Yue back to the Zuo family before he was in danger. When he had narrowly escaped death and engaged in a global hunt and battle with those fugitives, he had always thought that Zuo Yue would be well protected in the Zuo family. Even if he would be sad because of his sudden departure, at least his parents would treat him well, and at least the Zuo family would ensure her safety. However, he never expected that in just three months, Zuo Yue would be tortured to such an extent. Zuo Yue moved in her sleep because of Xu Chengfeng¡¯s touch, but she did not wake up. She only moved a little before she fell asleep again with her head tilted. However, it seemed that the nightmare was interrupted because of this. Her frowning expression gradually relaxed, and she slept more peacefully and soundly. Xu Chengfeng sat quietly by the bed and watched her. He had been sitting like this for the past few days. ¡°BOSS.¡±Ainte¡¯s voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. Xu Chengfeng glanced in the direction of the door. Outside, Ainte whispered,¡±¡±Not long ago, there were indeed some outlaws who tried to infiltrate the Zuo family and hurt Zuo Yue. They even tried to kidnap Zuo Yue in the park. However, their target was the wrong person, which caused Zuo Hancheng¡¯s wife, Gu Anhao, to be implicated. Perhaps this is the reason why Zuo Yue is under so much pressure, including Zuo Hancheng¡¯s recent death training. Although we found out that Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death had nothing to do with our opponents, I¡¯m afraid that with Old Master Zuo¡¯s temper, He should have vented all his anger on Zuo Yue. From Zuo Yue¡¯s emotional state, all of this is possible. I think¡­¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï¦Í?¦Ï.§ã¦Ï Before Ainte could finish his sentence, the door opened and Xu Chengfeng walked out. Xu Chengfeng signaled with his eyes for him to talk somewhere else so that Zuo Yue wouldn¡¯t be disturbed. Ainte nodded and moved to the side to make way for him in front of the corridor. As he followed Xu Chengfeng out, he continued softly,¡±¡± Back then, because of the danger of all parties, I suggested that you come back and personally send Zuo Yue home. Now it seems that it was my mistake. Zuo Yue is like this now. Boss, if you have something¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng raised his hand to stop him from continuing and said calmly,¡±¡± This mistake is all my fault. Now is not the time to talk about it. I will solve her mother¡¯s misunderstanding of her, including the pressure that the Zuo family exerted on her. As for Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death, you can investigate it in detail later to find out what exactly happened.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that the farm exploded. There¡¯s something buried under the farm¡­¡± Before Ainte could finish his sentence, he saw Xu Chengfeng¡¯s gaze and immediately shut his mouth. ¡°I want to do it, not say it.¡±Xu Chengfeng said coldly,¡± Zuo Hancheng¡¯s status in America is not ordinary in certain aspects. If he really dies, not only will the Zuo family and Zuo Yue not be able to withstand it, but some forces will also be affected. What I need to confirm is whether he really died unfortunately, not just a rumor.¡±¡± ¡± Understood.¡± Ayt nodded.¡± I¡¯ll send someone to investigate immediately.¡±¡± ***** Three days later, the Zuo family came to ask for him. Xu Chengfeng did not avoid them. However, after asking Zuo Yue for her opinion, Zuo Yue did not say anything. She just held her stomach and shook her head. It was obvious that she did not want to go out to see them. In the end, Xu Chengfeng asked someone to take care of Zuo Yue in the room. He went alone to face the Zuo family who came to take Zuo Yue back. ¡°Boss, Mr. Zuo and Mrs. Zuo have just experienced the pain of losing their son. I know that you are also very angry because of Zuo Yue¡¯s matter, but Mrs. Zuo was your sister for a few years and Zuo Yue¡¯s mother. Even if the way she handled it was a little extreme, it was still a sign of her love for her daughter. I think it¡¯s best not to make this matter too stiff.¡±Ainte said softly as he walked behind Xu Chengfeng. ¡°I know.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was indifferent.¡± ¡°So you want to see them directly like this? It¡¯s¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng turned around and went back to his room to take out the original DNA certificate.¡±¡±Let them sit down in the living room first. Ask someone to bring the coffee over and take these originals. After they have seen them, I will go and see them.¡± Ainte nodded. He took the original and quickly walked out. Xu Chengfeng stood in the middle of the room and looked at the setting sun outside the window silently. He turned around and walked back to Zuo Yue¡¯s room. He saw that the door of her room was not completely closed. There was still a gap in the door that allowed him to see the scene inside. Zuo Yue was lying quietly on the bed in a posture to protect her pregnancy. Her hand was gently stroking her stomach. Because of the recuperation these few days, her stomach was much more obvious than before. Her hand was stroking her stomach back and forth, but her eyes were staring at the crystal chandelier in the room without blinking. Xu Chengfeng pushed the door open and walked in. Zuo Yue was shocked when she heard the sound and suddenly looked at him. Then she quickly curled up and turned around with her back to him, her hands nervously covering her stomach. This was something she would do every day when she saw anyone in front of her. Protecting the child in her stomach seemed to have become an instinct of hers, and it was also an instinct to be afraid of others approaching her. The people she was afraid of included him. Xu Chengfeng sat beside her and patted her back gently to comfort her.¡±¡±After the Zuo family and Xu family¡¯s matters are settled, we¡¯ll go back to Boston or wherever you want to go.¡± Chapter 1202 - Chapter 1202: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (287) Chapter 1202: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (287) ¡°I will resolve the matters of the Xu family and the Xu family as soon as possible.¡±Xu Chengfeng said,¡± Although the Xu family doesn¡¯t have any blood ties to me, they have been closely related to me for so many years. This includes your relationship. I will treat them well. Don¡¯t worry.¡±¡± When she said this, Zuo suddenly raised her head and glanced at him. Xu Chengfeng caught her gaze and asked softly, as if he had grasped all of her worries.¡±What else is there to worry about? Tell me directly, I¡¯ll solve it.¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything. She just lowered her head and leaned into his embrace. She hugged him tightly and did not cry or make a fuss. However, even so, Xu Chengfeng could still feel her fear. He gently hugged her and whispered in her ear,¡±¡±I know that you¡¯ve been too emotional for the past few months, and I know that you¡¯ve been clear-headed occasionally recently. It¡¯s just that you¡¯re very sad because of Zuo Hancheng¡¯s death, and you¡¯re not in the mood to think about the problems between us.¡± His voice was clear and close to her ear.¡±¡±I feel that there are many things that are fishy about your brother¡¯s death. I have already sent people to investigate. One day, there will be a real result in front of us. The worst that can happen is this. Your current physical condition is not suitable for you to think too much. Also, you have never implicated anyone. If you want to implicate anyone, it is better to say that I have implicated you.¡± Zuo Yue still did not speak, but her body was obviously much more relaxed when she leaned into his embrace. ¡°After settling all of this, we will leave this place and no longer be bound by any restrictions.¡±Xu Chengfeng hugged her quietly.¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red. She looked at him again. Xu Chengfeng looked at her and said softly,¡±¡±Silly girl, you are actually becoming more and more clear-headed now. You already know that I am back. You are just afraid that I will leave again, afraid that I will abandon you again.¡± Zuo Yue sniffed and said with red eyes,¡±¡±I¡¯m afraid to see my parents.¡± As she spoke, she placed her hands on her stomach.¡±My brother¡¯s death has already caused too much trauma to our family. If Grandpa is angry at me every day when I go back, I might as well not go back and give him some peace.¡± Xu Chengfeng gently stroked her head and did not say anything. However, his eyes were clearly filled with heartache for her. He was still blaming himself for the decision to send her back to the Zuo family. Not long after, Xu Chengfeng left Zuo Yue¡¯s room and went to the living room. As expected, he saw Xu Yuan and Father Zuo¡¯s expressions changing because of the DNA test. ¡°I sent Zuo Yue back to the Zuo family because there were some troublesome and thorny matters in Russia that needed to be properly resolved. In order to prevent her from being implicated and in danger, I personally sent her back to the Zuo family.¡±Xu Chengfeng faced Xu Yuan and said expressionlessly,¡±¡±I didn¡¯t know that she was pregnant. If I knew that she had been fighting with you for a few months in order to protect the child without my knowledge, if I knew what kind of mental torture she had suffered in the Zuo family, how could I have sent her back to such a huge cage?¡± ¡°Chengfeng!¡± Xu Yuan suddenly stood up when she heard the dissatisfaction in Xu Chengfeng¡¯s words. She questioned,¡±¡±When did you know that you¡¯re not related to the Xu family by blood? Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier?¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??0.§ã0 Ainte suddenly frowned and said,¡± That¡¯s because when Boss left, he didn¡¯t know if he could come back alive. He didn¡¯t want Zuo Yue to be delayed for the rest of her life because of him, so he didn¡¯t tell her everything right away. It¡¯s only been three months, and you guys have driven your daughter crazy in these three months!¡± Mr. Zuo suddenly slammed the table and stood up.¡± Even if your DNA test is real, even if you are not related to our Zuo Yue by blood, we don¡¯t want Zuo Yue to have a child with her biological uncle. We don¡¯t want her to live in such a shadow for the rest of her life. Is it wrong for us to think of ways to get her out of all that?!¡± ¡°You guys are right.¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression remained calm.¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red. Han City is gone. I only have one daughter left. I want to take her back!¡± ¡°She won¡¯t be returning to the Zuo family for the time being. You can go back and ask Wang Ma about the shadow the Zuo family has cast on her.¡±¡±When Boss and I rushed to the Zuo family¡¯s house that day, Zuo Yue ran out like a madman, shouting that we shouldn¡¯t go to the hospital and that we shouldn¡¯t hurt her child!¡± How could she return to that place!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Xu Yuan¡¯s eyes trembled.¡± ¡°I said that Miss Zuo has been driven crazy by your family members who love her! If the BOSS hadn¡¯t returned in time, what you would have seen when you returned to the Zuo family would have been your daughter¡¯s cold, lifeless corpse! A daughter who starved to death!¡± ¡°Where is Zuo Yue now? I¡¯ll go and see her!¡± When Xu Yuan heard this, she walked directly to Xu Chengfeng.¡±¡±Chengfeng, return my daughter to me!¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her calmly. After looking at her for a long time, he said,¡±It was my mistake to send her back to the Zuo family. From now on, I will be responsible for Zuo Yue¡¯s future. If she wants to see you, she will go back to see you in the future. If she doesn¡¯t want to see you, please wait patiently until her mood improves.¡± ¡°Wait for her mood to improve? All the torture Zuo Yue suffered all these years was because of you! How could she get better?! Even if you¡¯re not related by blood, so what! If she wanted to give birth to the child now, she could! I agree! We can help her raise the child! But I can¡¯t give my daughter to you! Let her out, I want to see Zuo Yue!¡±Xu Yuan was so angry that she started to cry.¡± I¡¯ve already lost Han City. I can¡¯t lose Zuo Yue too!¡±¡± ¡°Hand over my daughter and let Zuo Yue come out to see me¡­I want to see my daughter¡­¡± Father Zuo stepped forward and pulled Mother Zuo away from Xu Chengfeng. His expression was equally ugly.¡±Xu Chengfeng, even if we are no longer siblings, you should still consider the feelings you have for us for so many years and Zuo Yue. Don¡¯t make things difficult for us. Han City is gone, and the Zuo family is in a mess now. If anything happens to Zuo Yue, how can we live?¡± Xu Chengfeng¡¯s expression was dark and silent. Ainte¡¯s eyes were cold and he did not want to say anything more. It was Zuo Yue who refused to see them, and it was not the Boss who stopped them from meeting. Why did he have to put all the responsibility on them? However, the BOSS did not explain. Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs behind him. Zuo Yue had left the room at some point and was walking down the stairs step by step. Chapter 1203_End - Chapter 1203: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (Ending) Chapter 1203: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (Ending) However, Zuo Yue staggered as she walked and almost fell. Xu Chengfeng turned around and walked over to Zuo Yue, who almost fell down the stairs. ¡°Zuo Yue!¡± Xu Yuan saw Zuo Yue and quickly walked over. She wanted to reach out to help her, but Zuo Yue had already stood firmly on the stairs. ¡°Mom¡­¡± The moment Zuo Yue saw Xu Yuan, her tears fell.¡±Actually, you never believed me. No matter what I said, it was just childish in your eyes. Or, it was because of love that I went crazy and lied to you. Just like when we were young, you never understood me. The Zuo family had high hopes for my brother, but they forced him to move the company to China. You ignored me since I was young and never cared about my feelings. However, you locked me in the attic when you should not have controlled me the most¡­¡± ¡± I don¡¯t hate you guys, but I can¡¯t take another step into the Zuo family. I¡¯m sad that my brother died, but Grandpa told me to get lost. I don¡¯t know how I can go back¡­¡± Zuo Yue cried as she spoke.¡± Mom, you know that I like to build snowmen every time I¡¯m agitated. But do you know who I build?¡± The tallest snowman I made is my father, the thinnest snowman I made is my mother, the other snowmen are my brother, grandpa¡­¡± ¡°I have always wanted a complete family since I was young. I don¡¯t care if this family is rich or not, nor do I care about the Zuo family. But you have never taken my words seriously. I am your daughter, but I am only your daughter. You have never thought about what this child called Zuo Yue likes, cares about, or wants.¡± ¡°When I was young, I said that my classmates bullied me. You said that I was looking for trouble for no reason and that I shouldn¡¯t always have conflicts with the children. You also said that I was unsociable.¡± ¡± When I grew up, I said that I was not related to Xu Chengfeng by blood. You said that I was crazy. I was pregnant, and you forced me to abort it¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re a good mother, but you¡¯re a mother who has never understood me¡­¡± Zuo Yue¡¯s eyes were red and swollen. She stared at her parents, who were stunned at the bottom of the stairs. ¡°The Zuo family is very big¡­It¡¯s really, really big¡­¡± Zuo Yue sniffed and said,¡± But that place has never been home to me. You can go and ask Grandpa why my brother refused to come back for so many years. Why did he rarely come back even when he didn¡¯t leave the United States? He would rather live in the company than return to the Zuo family. Now, you can¡¯t ask my brother, right? My brother has been more sensible than me since he was young. He has never said these words that will hurt you. I am the most willful and insensible. I will show all my emotions. I will let you know what I am thinking. Only I will hurt you!¡± ¡°So I won¡¯t go back to anger you anymore. The Zuo family has become completely quiet. There¡¯s no my brother, no me, and no child that you¡¯ve been worried about! Your lives will be peaceful from now on! It¡¯s very peaceful!¡± ¡°Zuo Yue¡­¡± Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ?¦Ï??¦Ï.§ã¦Ï ¡°Left¡±,¡±Right¡±,¡±Left¡±,¡±Right¡± Zuo Yue did not say anything else. After she finished speaking, she shed tears on the spot, then turned around and went upstairs without looking back. Xu Yuan cried so hard that she could not say a word while she lay in Father Zuo¡¯s arms. Father Zuo¡¯s eyes were also red as he looked in the direction Zuo Yue had left. Then, he turned to look at Xu Chengfeng. ¡°Zuo Yue¡¯s mood has been so extreme recently. Didn¡¯t you see it when she was in the Zuo family?¡± Xu Chengfeng said after a moment.¡± ¡°I could tell, but I didn¡¯t expect her to be forced to this extent by us.¡±Xu Yuan cried and said,¡± Chengfeng, can you help us talk to Zuo Yue? We know that we forced her to do a lot of extreme things, but we really did it for her own good. It¡¯s not like we don¡¯t care about her¡­¡± Ainte sighed from afar.¡± Parenthood is a pity. But Zuo Yue is also the mother of the child in her belly. You parents have your principles. Zuo Yue has her own things to protect. Sigh.¡±¡± Xu Chengfeng suddenly gave Ainte a look, telling him to stop adding fuel to the fire. Ainte knew that although Boss wanted to settle the score with the Zuo family, he still wanted to take all the responsibility on himself. He did not want to hurt Xu Yuan and Father Zuo. However, Zuo Yue had personally stabbed him with this knife. Only Zuo Yue and the Zuo family could heal this wound. ***** Five months later. In the delivery room of a private hospital in Boston, a baby¡¯s cry made everyone waiting outside the delivery room stand up in surprise. Xu Chengfeng, who was in the delivery room accompanying the delivery, held Zuo Yue¡¯s hand all the way until Zuo Yue fell asleep from exhaustion after hearing the baby¡¯s cries. He still held her hand tightly. ¡°Congratulations, Mr. Xu. She¡¯s a very beautiful girl!¡± The doctor said with a smile. Listen to this crying, how loud! This child¡¯s lung capacity was not bad. He was very healthy!¡± Perhaps it was because the doctor¡¯s voice was too loud in the delivery room, but Zuo Yue suddenly woke up again. She was in a daze as she watched the doctor carry the child back and forth, checking the child¡¯s various physical indicators and doing other tests. After watching for a long time, she turned to look at Xu Chengfeng, who had been accompanying her all this time. ¡°Our child is very healthy, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Chengfeng placed her hand to his lips and kissed it gently as he looked at her gently.¡±¡±Very healthy. You¡¯ve always been worried about the child¡¯s health. Can you rest assured now?¡± Zuo Yue did not speak for a while. It was unknown whether it was because she did not have the strength or because she was thinking about something. After a long time, she said softly,¡±Are my dad and mom outside?¡± Xu Chengfeng looked at her for a moment.¡± For the past few months, Zuo Yue had been avoiding them. No matter how many times Xu Yuan and the others had come, Zuo Yue had refused to see them. Today, when Zuo Yue was sent to the delivery room, Xu Yuan and Father Zuo had rushed over. They were afraid that Zuo Yue¡¯s emotions would fluctuate too much, so they did not show up in front of her. However, Zuo Yue knew that they were there, so Xu Chengfeng did not have to hide it. Zuo Yue looked at Xu Chengfeng for a while and said,¡±¡±Did my mom and the others agree to our marriage?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°My dad is no longer giving birth to me, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You said that my brother is not dead. He is receiving secret treatment and will be discharged in a few months, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Zuo Yue cried in relief and said,¡±¡±It hurts to give birth. I suddenly miss my mother.¡± Xu Chengfeng immediately held her hand tightly.¡±¡±She¡¯s outside. You want to see her?¡± Zuo Yue nodded and said with red eyes,¡±¡±What I said to my mother five months ago was all out of anger. Just now, when I was giving birth, it was especially painful. At that moment, I suddenly missed my mother very, very much¡­¡± Xu Chengfeng touched her sweaty forehead.¡±¡±I¡¯ll let her in.¡± .. The door of the delivery room suddenly opened, and the baby¡¯s cries became clearer and clearer. The nurse who came out said,¡±Madam Xu Yuan, Old Mr. Zuo, Miss Zuo says she wants to see you.¡± ¡± Xu Yuan and Father Zuo immediately stood up excitedly.¡±¡±You said that Zuo Yue wants to see us? Is she willing to see us?¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Zuo said that she misses her mother.¡± Xu Yuan burst into tears of joy and quickly walked into the delivery room. .. ¨C End of the story-
